(Sometime later)
Stretching out from the Egret Necropolis over the dune seas making up the ancient desert, the sounds of an awesomely destructive battle could be heard echoing across the countryside. Explosions and shockwaves going off in a terrifying display of raw strength, speed and firepower never before seen on that part of the planet, any onlookers who were fortunate enough to be watching the performance from afar would easily mistake the chaotic scene to be a military bombardment. However, from the way the skies trembled and the continent shook following each individual discharge, the level of this battle was clearly in an entirely different league altogether. Any creature that happened to inadvertently wander into the battle's range would instantly be pulverized into oblivion due to the colossal force being exerted by all parties involved.
Over on a particular flat of desert, well out of reach of the pyramids sitting twenty miles away in the distance, a wall of dust was suddenly kicked up from the ground and sent hurtling into the sky when a massive, shadowy figure dashed at full speed across the dunes. Plowing through hill after the hill on his straight-line route, the bulky Pharaoh hound Daryu narrowed his eyes as he aimed himself at the golden form of his opponent on the other side of the plain.
Standing atop one of the countless hills making up the ocean of sand, Vegeta, thrusting a hand forward, charged a golden sphere of energy in his hand and took aim at his fast approaching foe.
Sweat poured down the prince's face as the aura surrounding his body intensified several times over. "Big Bang Attack!" With a clap of a sonic boom, the man let loose the ball of energy directly towards his target, intent on wiping him out in a single shot.
Gritting his teeth, the persistent Daryu timed his run with the fast approaching ball and, as soon as it came within range, the man gripped the handle of his battle axe over his shoulder and struck out, carving the sphere in two. Split down the center, the two halves of Vegeta's attack veered away and shot off in different directions, striking the countryside several kilometers out and causing two thermonuclear explosions in the distance.
Recoiling in alarm when his opponent failed to slow down, the Saiyan Prince threw up his guard before being hit by a full body check from Daryu crashing headlong into him. The force of impact generated a shockwave powerful enough to punch a crater in the ground beneath them, at the same time Vegeta's body was sent blasting across the valley and further into the desert. Several kilometers later, the man collided with a hill in a shower of dust and sand in the distance.
Smirking at the successful hit, the hulking hound took a step back and fell into an aggressive fighting stance, his flaming battle axe held firmly at his side. Positive he'd knocked his target out, the battered and bruised warrior then moved in with his follow-up attack. Leaning back and taking in a deep gulp of air, the dog then threw himself forward and, with a howl of fury, unleashed a gargantuan blast of fire from his throat.
"Amaterasu!" The blue jets of flame spewed out of Daryu's mouth and impacted the desert in front of him, setting it ablaze and instantly turning the sand into glass. Roasting anything organic in its path, the wall of fire spread for over thirty kilometers, widening the further it went and turning the already scorching wilderness into a surface equivalent to that of the sun itself.
The fire continued to leave the hound's lips like heat from a blowtorch. But just when it seemed like Daryu had wiped his foe off of the face of the planet, the sand at his feet suddenly burst upwards. In the blink of an eye, a fully powered Vegeta sprang out of the ground and uppercutted the son of a bitch in the chin. The blow landed with an earthshaking crack and knocked the dog high into the air.
Gritting his teeth at the burns and bruises he'd received from his opponent's attacks, the Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta leapt after the stunned dog and kicked him in the chest, sending his adversary plummeting back into a distant hill.
Smacking into it and exploding through the mound of sand, the dog flipped backwards and landed on all fours, sliding to a stop along the valley floor. Once his momentum had ceased, Daryu looked up in time to see the Saiyan Prince land a safe distance away, throw his hands forward, and begin launching multiple ki blasts in his direction.
Getting to his feet quickly, the warrior charged at the man, deflecting and knocking away blasts as if they were dodge balls, and zigzagging on his approach. This meant that a lot of the attacks the Saiyan hurled at the canine missed on their own accord, and by the time Daryu came too close for Vegeta to throw anymore, he'd managed to avoid a major bulk of the assault. In response to the gap being shaved away, the flame haired Saiyan hurriedly sprang into the air and caught his breath, allowing his muscular opponent to fly after him before engaging in another vicious exchange of blows. More shockwaves and yells of anger rang out as multiple attacks were parried and taken, before the two shot off at super speed to another part of the desert.
Meanwhile, fighting on his little corner of the region, Piccolo was having one hell of a party of his own.
Dodging a golden blast that streaked past him, the green warrior quickly powered up and rocketed into the sky as several more energy missiles came flying his way. Shooting up into the clouds and staying ahead of the barrage that was now chasing after him, the persistent Z-warrior performed several impressive evasive maneuvers. When the tracers failed to find a new target, he then decided to launch some countermeasures against the rounds.
Taking aim with his hand while continuing his retreat allowed Piccolo to launch a fully charged energy sphere at the approaching salvo. His powerful attack collided headlong with the first wave, causing an enormous explosion that took out the rest of them and formed a thick black layer of cloud beneath the airborne Namekian warrior.
Catching his breath safely out of reach of the blast front, Piccolo gritted his teeth when he saw another ki attack shoot out of the cloud and fly up at him like a rocket. Responding in kind, the man cocked his right hand over his left shoulder and chopped out, knocking the blast into the distance. "Eat this!" The second the attack was deflected, with the same hand he thrust two fingers forward and fired a powerful corkscrew beam back down at where the blast had come from. The attack blew away the rest of the smoke and rocketed towards the immense desert below.
The attack curving along its path soon descended upon the Akita hybrid standing in the middle of the orange valley. Spear held behind him in a wide stance, Kasim brought it forward and, with a stylish twirl, swung it out and smacked the Special Beam Cannon away, sending it hurtling into the distance. After it detonated harmlessly in the middle of the barren region with the force of a nuke, the triumphant but noticeably battle damaged dog warrior grinned before taking flight.
Kasim cocked his spear arm back as he rocketed into the air, at the same time bringing one hand forward and locking his eyes onto his opponent. In response Piccolo also dove towards his fast approaching foe, meeting him in the middle and greeting the strong fighter with a swinging overhand. The Akita dodged the blow and countered with a powerful body shot, only for the Namekian to block it with his elbow and slam a kick across the Akita's face. This then led to the pair trading a series of lightning fast blows, each landing upon their target with a solid impact, until Kasim brought his spear around and thrust out at his opponent.
Dodging it by an antenna, Piccolo dove for the ground, where he landed upon the sand and quickly threw himself into a fast series of back flips, allowing him to avoid his opponent when he chased after him. Kasim pursued, quickly catching his acrobatic foe and opening up on him with multiple jabs of his spear. Expression hardened, Namekian speedily avoided the blows, slipping left and right at blinding speed until his opponent curved a thrust and smacked him in the side of the head. The loud clang topped with a yell of pain signaling his opponent crumpling to the sand, Kasim then spun his weapon around and, with a loud roar, swung it at the man's head to take it clean off.
A loud 'thump' echoed out when Piccolo swiftly caught the staff with both hands, ignoring the blue fire that sprouted from it and began burning his palms.
Locking his opponent up, the pair began trying to overpower the other, growls of effort leaving their lips as they glared into the eyes of their enemy. Bleeding from the mouth with his body covered in multiple cuts, the Namekian then threw the Akita an evil grin. This immediately drew a frustrated snarl from his opponent, enabling Piccolo to take advantage of his temper and push the spear into the ground. Burying the tip into the sand gave the Z-fighter enough time to spring over it and thrust a side-kick into his opponent's face. The blow landed with a heavy 'thud', causing the spear wielding dog to stumble back across the dune in shock.
Shaking his head of the daze, Kasim growled a second time, "Damn you! Dei Lux!" After spinning his spear around, he then gripped it tightly in two hands, aimed it at his foe and, without warning, fired a powerful beam directly towards his target.
Reacting in alarm, Piccolo shot off to the side while the beam struck the sand he'd been standing on, carved straight through the desert, and flew off into the horizon. Without even bothering to stop, the powerful dog attempted to follow his target with his attack, which continued to fire and slice the tops off of several mountains hundreds of kilometers away. The beam was so long it traveled off of planet, showing the exact path of the attack as the Namekian flew up into the sky in an effort to divert its path.
Clicking his tongue in annoyance when he saw his opponent was still attempting to knock him out of the air with the continuous blast, Piccolo moved in swiftly to counter him. Increasing his flight speed and avoiding the slashes of the golden ray by moving in a wide arc around his opponent, the green warrior took aim and threw a long, right jab down at his foe. His light speed Mystic Attack slammed across the dog's face with a loud 'crack', catching Kasim off guard and causing him to stagger backwards.
Managing to regain his balance, the Akita looked up to see the Namekian diving at him at full speed. Piccolo's arm retracted and reeled him in, bringing the fighter within range to swing down at the dog with a wide hook in an effort to take him out for good. But the furry warrior leapt into the air at the last second, avoiding the blow and passing over his opponent at the same time. The jump into the sky allowed Kasim to put a great deal of space between him and his foe. Spinning about once he'd gained enough altitude, the wounded dog thrust his hand out and, with a yell of rage, unleashed a gargantuan golden blast down at his target.
His attack gushed out of his hand and enveloped the area of desert beneath him in a huge, dome shaped blast that seemingly swallowed up his opponent and rocked the countryside for miles around.
However, when the fire eventually settled and the smoke lifted, it revealed Piccolo standing in the center of an enormous crater, arms crossed over his face and a golden energy shield protecting him. When the barrier dispelled, the former guardian of earth peered over his guard and smirked at his stunned adversary.
