Chapter 82 - Athena Vs The Ruby Red Puppet!! (2/2)

Boom!!

The attack exploded on the palm of the puppet's hands. A miniature smoke cloud appeared around the puppet when he blocked the attack. ”Nice, it looks like I got him with it.” Athena mumbled to herself.

Suddenly the puppet appeared behind Athena with a red glow around its body, it was the Kaio-Ken! Athena was stunned and couldn't react in time, she had no choice and used Kaio-ken herself to move away. The puppet was a little surprised that he missed but snapped out of it quickly and followed Athena to continue its ȧssault.

Two red blazing figures moved quickly through the air. No normal fighter would be able to see these movements. They both used Kaio-ken x2 and slammed into each other, causing several shockwaves and winds to kick up. The puppet quickly gave Athena a knee to the stomach and kicked downward, it had buffed up its strength to Kai-ken time x3 in a heartbeat. It was too fast for Athena with the sudden speed and attack boost. She was sent crashing into the stage but landed on both her hands and legs, she was on her fours.

At this time, the puppet did what she did and had already charged up a Kamehameha attack. It was powered by Kaio-Ken as well so it was much stronger than the average Kamehameha! A blue beam of energy shot out, somehow, Athena had managed to power up her own attack at this time. Her Orange-Red Heat Cannon collided with the Kamehameha, causing both Ariel and Kayn to back away. Rock began to float in the air and pop. The stage was destroyed the minutes the attacks connected! Kayn felt like the scene was familiar, it reminded him of the Galick gun vs Kamehameha!

”Goodness, this is one of the most intense battles I've ever seen, she is really serious this time around!” Ariel covered her eyes due to the dust and lights from the attacks. Rocks were floating in the air and exploding once they reached a certain height.

Athena was getting pushed back by the puppet's Kamehameha, she had no choice but to amp it up.

”Kaio-Ken x4!”

Athena yelled and a burst of energy exploded out of her palms, going through her beam and slamming toward the puppet's Kamehameha. She was now winning, the puppet eyes glinted, it was clearly shocked at this revelation. It couldn't resist and the attack engulfed it in Orange light as it was sent flying further into the sky.

Kayn sighed with amazement, she had indeed improved so much. Athena was breathing hard after such an attack and sat on her buŧŧ in the middle of the stage. Kayn was unsure about the condition that the puppet was in but he was sure it wasn't good. After about five minutes, the puppet descended back to the stage but it was in terrible condition. It looked just like how Cell looked when Vegeta hit him with a final flash, half of its body was gone, its arm and half of its torso had been obliterated!

”This battle is over, Athena is the winner!” Kayn immediately recalled the puppet and congratulated Athena for her victory. Ariel felt the same after seeing such an intense battle. It was one of if not the best she had ever seen in her life.

”Athena, that was an amazing fight, you're definitely ready for this years tournament!” Ariel walked up to Athena and patted her back.

”AH~!” Athena screamed in pain after getting patted on the back, she clearly pushed it too far with that last attack. Athena was sweating profusely from her forehead. ”Wait, don't touch me like that, it hurts a lot, I need some ointment or something, I think a bath will do.” Ariel nodded and grabbed Athena hand.

”I will take her to the ship so she can recover from this fight.” Ariel guided Athena steadily back to the ship they had arrived in to help her recover. ”I need to rest afterward anyway, I'm kinda sleepy,” Ariel added before flying off with Athena.

Kayn said nothing more to oppose what they wanted to do, Athena had improved a lot which was good enough. Time quickly passed as they continued to train throughout the day. This included Kayn, who was training his Super Saiyan two for mastery purposes. The time of the tournament was now at hand, and today was the day of the tournament, it was time to head back after training on this secluded planet.

Kayn stored his ship back into the storage and teleported away with Athena and Ariel. He arrived at the palace but the King was not home, he had left to the Starfall Continent where the tournament was being hosted. He left with some powerful elders including Elder Mars who went with them.

”Hmm, where is the location of this continent, what are the coordinates?” Kayn asked one of the elders. He easily told him everything. After hearing everything, he shot his senses out and immediately found the King Ki signature.

”Alright, guys, let's head off!” Kayn grabbed Athena's hand while she grabbed Ariel's hand and they warped away under the stunned expressions of many elders and maids around the palace.

”What in the world was that just now, he's gone just like that!” One of the elders exclaimed with his mouth wide open.

”It must be the ability to teleport of something, but I've never seen it go to such a far distance, he must have only gone 10 miles away or so.” One Elder had his doubts, there was no way someone could teleport so far. What would he think if he knew Kayn could teleport to universes with ease or just about anywhere he wanted?

Meanwhile, Kayn arrived near a city called Starfall City, it was full of people going in and out from what he could see in the distance. The place was packed to the brim, many clans were raring to see the tournament that represented their clan, it was much more clan present than at the auction.

”My dad should be at the battle dome where the tournament is taking place, let's head there and prepare.” Ariel had no problem with what Athena said. Her clan was also here to fight, she wasn't the person representing her clan, but she wanted to watch the fights. Kayn nodded and teleported away with both of them towards the King.
