Modern Crusaders
"Do you really think a snot-nosed brat like you would beat me?!"
"It's over, Piccolo!" yelled (y/n), "You'll pay for what you've done!"
A 15-year-old (y/n) charged towards Piccolo in the finals of the Tenkaichi Tournament. Piccolo threw out a ki blast to push (y/n) off his course, but he deflected us.
"I'm stronger than the first time we fought!"
Piccolo and (y/n) flew around the stadium, trading blows faster than the normal man could see.
"(y/n)'s power level has skyrocketed!" exclaimed Roshi, "He may actually be able to beat him!"
As (y/n) and Piccolo traded blows, (y/n) got the upper hand and sent a powerful punch to Piccolo's stomach, which made him reel back in pain.
"W-What is this?!" thought Piccolo, "How could he have gotten so strong? He's just a mere human!"
"Keep up with this, Piccolo!" yelled (y/n) as he began an onslaught of attacks against Piccolo, "Someone like you... will ever beat me!"

"What's his name again?" asked Issei.
"Hangyaku," replied Rias, "He's a traitor that served under my brother. Apparently, he believed himself to be more powerful than Sirzechs, and begun to pursue his own interests."
"Now he's gone drunk on his own power. He's a threat," said Akeno.
"Well, is he then? Stronger than Sirzechs?" asked Issei.
"That remains to be seen..." muttered Rias as the rest of the Peerage approached his hideout.
The Gremory Peerage stopped just a few dozen yards away from what seemed to be a small hut.
"He's hiding in that?" mocked Issei, "Let's just blow up the damn thing and be done with it!"
Before Issei could run in, an arm grabbed him.
"Wait, Issei," said Kiba, "Do you feel that? That intense pressure coming from that hut?"
"I haven't felt an energy like that since..." Xenovia started.
Everyone was silent for a moment before the door to the hut opened.
A tall, but slender man walked out of the hut.
"I wasn't expecting guests so soon!" he said.
"It's over, Hangyaku! Give yourself up!" yelled Rias.
"And what? Destroyed by you?!" laughed Hangyaku, "Never!"
Hangyaku fired an energy blast from his hands, which forced the Peerage to separate to dodge.
Issei summoned his boosted gear and sent out an Explosion towards Hangyaku, which he counted with his own blast.
"I'm honored to see the Red Dragon Emperor himself come out to play!" Hangyaku taunted.
"He's not the one you should be looking out for!"
Hangyaku looked around him to see Xenovia to his left and Kiba to his right, both brandishing their swords.
Hangyaku was forced to break away from Issei to dodge the deadly sword users.
Before either of them could cut him down, Hangyaku teleported behind them, ready to counterattack.
"You're mine!" he yelled triumphantly.
Before any harm could come to Xenovia or Kiba, a bolt of lightning came from the sky and struck Hangyaku.
"Punishment has been delivered..." said Akeno with a sly smile on her face.
Hangyaku staggered back up from the devastating attack.
"He's still standing?" chuckled Rias, "Impressive."
"Who do you people think you are?!" screamed Hangyaku, "I am the most powerful demon in all of Hell! You are nothing!"
Hangyaku fired multiple energy blasts from his hands, which the skilled members of the Gremory Peerage easily avoided.
"What a temper!" laughed Kiba.
The energy blasts that flew past them turned around and began to track them.
"Tracking blasts!" yelled Rias, "Spread out! Don't get hit!"

"Take this!" yelled a 17-year-old (y/n), firing the strongest energy blast that he could muster towards the 18th Android.
The blast made contact, resulting in a fiery explosion.
"How does it feel to take a full blast from the Legendary Super Saiyan!" laughed (y/n).
"Don't let your guard down!" yelled Piccolo from behind him, "You've only just acquired the Super Saiyan transformation! We don't know if it's enough!"
"Oh, it's enough!" grinned (y/n).
When the dust from (y/n)'s blast cleared, the 18th Android was still standing there, unscathed.
"Was he even trying?" asked the 17th Android, who was behind the 18th.
"H-How dare you!" seethed (y/n) through his teeth, "I'll show you!"
(y/n) flew towards the 18th Android as fast as he could, punching and kicking wildly.
The 18th, however, seemed to dodge every attack that (y/n) threw at her with ease. This only seemed to upset (y/n) however, making him attack even faster, but sloppier.
"Stay still!" growled (y/n) as he tried to surprise the 18th Android with a ki blast, but just like all the others, she dodged that one as well.
Suddenly, (y/n) found an opening and swept the 18th, making her fall back.
"Serves you right!" said (y/n) triumphantly, "Now take the full power of a Super Saiyan, you robot trash!"
He tried to go in for the finishing blow, but the 18th Android righted herself quickly and sent a powerful blow to (y/n)'s gut.
(y/n) doubled over in pain as he staggered away from the 18th.
"W-What is this?!" (y/n) stuttered, "This kind of power should be impossible!"
Then, with a swift kick, the 18th Android kicked (y/n)'s left arm, breaking it.
With an effortless ki blast, the 18th Android sent the crippled Super Saiyan back towards his Namekian ally.
"Give up," sighed the 18th Android, "Spare me the boredom of having to fight someone as weak as you."
"Me?! Give up?! Never!" yelled (y/n), "As long as I draw breath, I will never back away from a fight! The real battle starts now!"

With a bit of luck, Koneko was able to lure the tracking blast that Hangyaku had sent her way and destroyed it with an energy blast of her own.
"What an annoying attack..." muttered Koneko under her breath.
She saw the rest of the Peerage, still trying to evade their tracking blasts and Hangyaku in the middle of it, laughing all the while.
Koneko made a beeline for Hangyaku, determined to take him out while he was vulnerable.
She tried to take him down with a kick to the head, but he blocked it with his arm before any real damage could come to him.
"Ah! It seems the Nekomata seeks to challenge me!" laughed Hangyaku, "How futile!"
"Will you please shut up!" groaned Koneko, trying to hit Hangyaku.
He was able to either dodge or block most of Koneko's attacks, forcing her to distance herself and try her luck with a ki blast. Hangyaku matched it and neutralized it with relative ease.
"This guy is the real deal!" thought Koneko, "Nothing I'm doing is getting past him!"
"Take a look around, Nekomata!" said Hangyaku, "While you're fighting me, all of your friends are still scurrying away from my initial attack!"
Koneko looked around and indeed saw the rest of the Gremory Peerage still trying to shake off the blasts.
"I wonder which is more important?" Hangyaku mockingly asked, "Defeating me or saving them?"
Koneko looked to her friends, wondering whether or not Hangyaku was really worth it. Her train of thought was interrupted, however, by a ki blast from Hangyaku when she wasn't looking.
"You fool!" laughed Hangyaku, "Whichever you choose, you'll lose either way!"
"I wouldn't be too sure about that..." muttered Koneko.
A white aura surrounded her body as she cleared her mind of the noise and distractions around her.
Hangyaku sent another energy blast her way, but Koneko was suddenly able to deflect it.
"Nekomata Mode! Level 2!" yelled Koneko, a second tail appearing in addition to the one that was already there.
"What?! Deflected?!" said Hangyaku, "That must have been a fluke! Take this!"
Hangyaku tried another energy blast, but Koneko caught it before it could hit her and sent it right back to him.
Koneko, now powered up, tried another assault. This time, Hangyaku was forced onto the defensive, blocking and staggering back.
"What happened to all that confidence?!" Koneko taunted.
Again, Hangyaku tried to keep her back with a ki blast, but Koneko swatted it away again.
Koneko resumed her barrage, making Hangyaku unable to counterattack.
"When you're guarding against my attacks..." said Koneko, "You're open from your chin down!"
Koneko went in for an attack, but Hangyaku caught it in his hand.
"I've had enough of you lot..." muttered Hangyaku.
"Did you honestly think that you could get away with underestimating me? Me?! I'm more powerful than any of you!"
Hangyaku grabbed her by the hair and lifted her up to meet his eye level.
"You and the rest of your race will die alone!"
Hangyaku threw her away like garbage and prepare to destroy her with an energy blast.
He fired, but the attack never made contact.
"You're wrong..." said Rias.
"She won't die... And she's not alone!"
Rias and the rest of the Gremory Peerage, who had finally shaken off their tracking orbs, stood by Koneko.
Ready to fight.

"We'll take him together!" said (y/n).
"Whatever," said the 18th Android, "Just don't get in my way..."
"You could be a little nicer, 18," mocked the 17th Android, "He is offering to help."
"How dare you! You are my creations!" yelled the 20th Android, "First you destroy my lab, then you destroy Android 19! You failures are costing me everything!"
"Failures, huh?" wondered the 18th, "Get a load of that, 17? The old and beaten man calls us failures!"
"Almost as if we didn't kick his ass to the curb the minute you guys found out you were being used!" laughed (y/n).
"I know, right?!" agreed the 17th, "Man... What's a guy gotta do to get some recognition around here?"
"I really don't think this is the time for jokes!" said Piccolo sternly, "Android 20 is still a threat!"
"Calm down, Green Man," said the 17th, "We've got this under control. 18?"
"With pleasure..."
"W-Wait!" panicked the 20th Android, "I am your creator! You are supposed to obey me!"
"Oh, really?" asked the 18th sarcastically.
She then rushed forward and destroyed the 20th Android with ease.
"Alright!" cheered (y/n), "Good job, team!"
"Uh... No," said the 18th, "Don't think that we're friends now that this whole thing is over!"
"We're not going to go back to fighting, are we?" asked (y/n).
"Nah. It'd be too boring," said the 18th, "Hey, 17? Let's ditch these idiots."
"I was just thinking the same thing..."
The two flew off, leaving (y/n) and Piccolo in the remnants of Dr. Gero's lab.
"You're just going to let them leave?" asked Piccolo, "After everything they've done?!"
"Eh. They'll come in handy someday."

"No way," groaned Koneko, "I had it under control."
"Uh-huh," smirked Issei, "Sure you did."
Koneko and Issei sat together on the couch, watching TV after the mission.
"And you're sure you're okay?" worried Issei.
"Please," muttered Koneko, "Asia's never let me down before..."
As Issei continued to tease Koneko, Rias came crashing through the front door with a distraught look on her face.
"R-Rias?! What happened?!" asked Issei.
Rias took a few needed breaths before responding.
"There's been a break-out Warenai. We're needed. Gather everyone."
