(Zangya & Maya)
Deep in the Mountain Ranges many miles North of Central City, a massive explosion of pink energy tore across the landscape, shredding the rocky edifices and sending dust and rubble into the air. When the blast settled, it revealed an entire row of peaks had been utterly obliterated and replaced by a crater, with embers and flames rising out of the center. The cause of this several kilometer wide explosion was of course the enormous Super Saiyan 2 Oozaru standing at the very edge of the trench.
With a mighty roar, Maya lurched forward and opened her mouth, unleashing another torrent of pink energy from her throat. Her blast shot over the ranges and into another mountain, which quickly went up in a dome-shaped explosion and incinerated everything within the blast radius. While the energy from the blast continued to rage, the giant golden ape suddenly saw a tiny figure come flying out of the explosion, trailing smoke.
With her green aura burning around her and a torrent of golden lightning shooting off of her body, Zangya charged straight towards her opponent with a yell. Fist cocked back, she thrust it forward, only to see her enormous target crank her right arm back and chop at her with a diagonal swing. The Hera reacted just in time to parry the blow, which struck her with a terrifying blast of force, and sent her spinning over the tops of the ranges. When she used a burst of ki to stop her flight, she then shifted forward and rocketed towards her enemy once again.
Maya, spotting her opponent's approach, growled and punched out at her with a right straight and a left hook. Her massive fists, which were more than capable of splitting a moon or leveling an entire city with a single blow, sliced out at the Hera at terrifying speed. However, through superb use of her speed and maneuverability, Zangya gracefully avoided her power shots, twirling around the woman's left hook and thrusting a kick at her face. With a yell, the red haired woman slammed a monstrous kick into the Oozaru's cheek, not only knocking blood flying out of Maya's mouth, but also sending the hulking ape careening across the mountains.
Crash landing into a mountain and flattening it with her massive hide, the golden giant snarled irritably and sat up. As soon as she did, she saw her opponent appear in the sky directly above her and bring her hands back. When green spheres of energy began to gather in Zangya's palms, Maya suddenly cracked a smile and, quietly grabbing a massive chunk of rubble lying next to her, chucked it straight up at the Hera like it were a rock.
"Think fast, bitch!"
"What the-" Zangya's eyes bugged out of her sockets when she saw the twenty ton boulder flying at her and quickly crossed her arms over to block. The object slammed into her at full speed and sent her flying over two sets of mountains, a cry of pain and shock echoing across the countryside, before the woman crash-landed on the icy peak of the tallest edifice in the region.
With the giant rock sitting on top of her in the small crater, Zangya quickly shoved it off and sat up, revealing her battered form and blood dripping down her forehead. The moment she leapt back to her feet, a shadow suddenly fell over her that had her look up. To her astonishment, she saw her massive opponent burst through the clouds thousands of feet above the region with an enormous rock the size of an island held above her head.
Upon appearing out of the veil, Maya gave an angry roar, "Planet Quaking Star!" She then chucked the enormous mountain of stone straight down at her grounded adversary, her throw causing a sonic boom to rattle the atmosphere as the rock broke the sound barrier.
The force of her throw was so great, that the entire rock began to burn up as it approached its target.
"Whoa, whoa… are you serious?" Zangya exclaimed, analyzing the attack and calculating the damage it could cause. If that rock should be allowed to hit the Earth, it would cause an impact wave powerful enough to split the entire continent in two.
Alarm bells going off inside her head, the Z-fighter took a defensive stance and watched the section of Earth descend upon her position. By the time it'd come close enough to literally blot out her entire view of the sky, the red haired fighter had already come up with a counter attack, as she had both her hands loaded and ready to go.
"Beauty Net!" With a shout, Zangya swiped her hands across the sky, producing dozens of thin, purple energy wires that formed a protective net above her. The net then expanded at great speed as it approached the enormous meteor dropping towards it. When the two attacks collided, the translucent energy-absorbing strings cut through the rock like bread, carving it up into perfect square segments that scattered and bombarded the Mountain Range around the Hera's position, limiting the damage it ultimately would've caused.
As the land shook from the multiple slabs of rock crashing down on it and the sky filled with fire and smoke, Zangya suddenly saw it all break away and her opponent come diving towards her.
Right hand cocked back, Maya let out a loud yell and threw a punch down at her opponent. Responding in kind, Zangya fired back, the pair's fists meeting in the center and causing a gale of wind to rip outwards and splinter the surrounding land. With dust swirling around them, the two warriors began pushing against each other, with the enormous Super Oozaru pressing her full weight down onto her diminutive foe, who herself was also shoved back with equal force.
Maya barked out a laugh as their one-on-one grappling match continued. "Yes! That's it! That's the way! Give me all you've got! Show me more of your incredible power!"
Gritting her teeth as she saw her opponent leering down at her, the slightly burnt and battered Zangya cracked a grin, "Don't worry, friend… you haven't seen… anything yet. I've got way more… tricks up my sleeve!" She then grunted when she felt Maya push back, which prompted her to lean forward some more and keep the momentum going.
Her words drew another chuckle from the Super Oozaru. "Kai, your spirit is incredible. There aren't many women out there who can go toe-to-toe with the likes of me. Honestly… I think I'm starting to fall in love with you."
Raising an eyebrow, the Hera then scoffed, "Is that your way… of trying to weird me out?!" An idea coming to her head, the red haired Z-fighter then pushed forward before, without warning, leaping back with great speed. "Because it's not going to work!" Her maneuver caused Maya to stumble forward suddenly and her fist to become embedded in the mountain side. The moment she fell onto it, Zangya then mounted the woman's fist and began sprinting up her massive, fur-covered arm as fast as she could. "Running, running, running, running, running, running, aaaaaaand…" As soon as she reached the woman's bicep, Zangya then jumped into the air, pulled her hand back, and thrust it forward, firing a red blast right into Maya's snout. "FACE!"
Her blast struck the giant ape pointblank, causing a flash and an explosion that drew a cry of pain from Maya and dropped the woman to the ground. The Super Oozaru crashed into the valley behind her, flattening an entire tor as well as several trees. However, when it seemed like Zangya had knocked her out, Maya's eyes suddenly snapped open and, turning towards the sky, opened her mouth and fired another powerful blast at her airborne target.
The sudden counter attack forced Zangya to dodge at the blast second, the beam grazing her left arm and scorching it. "Whoa! Hot!"
All of a sudden, Maya suddenly sprang off the floor and jumped at her falling adversary, snatching her out of the sky with her massive hand. As soon as she dropped back to the ground, the giant Oozaru then brought Zangya in front of her eyes and wrapped her other hand around her body, grinning all the while.
"Got you!" Maya exclaimed triumphantly.
Struggling against the massive fingers binding her, the Hera then shot a glare up at her opponent, whom she could see was grinning mischievously. After looking into the woman's eyes for several moments, Zangya suddenly had a bad feeling come over her and smiled back nervously. From what she sensed, she did not like where this was headed.
"Now… I know what you're thinking. Should I crush her? And the answer may surprise you."
Cackling humorously, the transformed woman brought her foe even closer to her. "Oh, I'll bet. Now… let's hear that little body of yours break." Licking her lips hungrily, she then proceeded to tighten her grip on her enemy, the sound of muscles popping and bones crunching filling the air. Zangya immediately began feeling the pressure build, the Hera gritting her teeth and groaning as the woman's enormous hands began to constrict around her like the coils of a python.
Pain beginning to slither in, the red haired warrior then started fighting back, squirming against the full-body grip and trying to find some form of leverage. Eventually, after some pained struggling, the Earthling managed to yank one of her arms out, placing it on top of the Oozaru's thumb and gasping for air. She then cried out in pain when Maya doubled the strength of her grip, showing that the giant ape was determined to defeat her opponent whatever the cost.
Giggling when she heard Zangya scream again and watched her writhe like a bird, the golden giant spoke, "Oh-ho… I'm really loving the sounds you're making, girl. You have a very cute voice."
Panting after a particular loud cry, Hera then glanced up at her enemy and smirked. "You're… ugh… saying weird… grrgh… stuff again."
Maya then shrugged, "Guilty. But hey, at least I'm being honest."
"Right," Zangya laughed weakly, before then holding out the arm she'd successfully managed to free and trying to concentrate. "Well… as fun as it would be to just sit here and have my bones turned into gravel, I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut out early." She then focused her energy into her palm, manipulating it in a way only she knew how. "I apologize in advance."
"Huh?"
Before the giant ape could respond, in a flash of light, Zangya conjured her race's signature tri-guard sword and grabbed hold of the handle. As soon as the weapon had fully materialized, she pointed the tip of the blade at her opponent's hand and drove it straight into the flesh. Maya instantly let out a howl of pain and released her opponent, grabbing hold of her thumb while the Hera flew up into the sky and suspended herself above the land. Upon which the Z-fighter thrust her palm forward and fired off several golden blasts at the ape.
The bombardment from above covered the mountain ranges with multiple explosions of fire and smoke, with the region around the Super Oozaru caving in. The Hera soon ceased firing, allowing her a moment to breathe and to inspect the damage. However, just before the cloud of smoke could fully clear, Maya suddenly came springing out of the mass and rocketing up at her enemy, her golden aura blazing around her. With a snarl of rage, the transformed woman then began lashing out at Zangya in a furious attempt to catch her.
"Damn it! Fuck! Stop moving!" the golden ape roared, her hands snatching at the air while the Z-fighter danced around her arms.
Keeping her distance from the woman's limbs, Zangya chuckled. "Your speed in this form is pretty good. But thanks to your increased size and weight, I can easily avoid your huge swings."
Quickly getting frustrated at her inability to hit her foe, Maya spun around, showing her opponent her back. Zangya figured she'd managed to force her enemy to bail and moved to retaliate. All of a sudden, the red haired fighter was smacked out of the air by the woman's enormous tail, which came at her from a blind spot traveling much faster than any of her punches and kicks. The wind was literally knocked from the fighter's lungs as she plummeted from the sky, where she eventually impacted a hillside. Groaning and sitting up quickly, she then darted out of the way when her opponent dropped down from above and landed foot first, punching a massive hole into the ground where she'd previously been lying.
Stopping a safe distance away, Zangya jabbed the sword she was holding forward and produced several green energy balls that began to orbit around her person. As soon as they appeared, she launched them towards her massive foe, who lifted her arm just in time to deflect the barrage. Maya then swung her arm out and cleared the smoke, giving a hearty laugh of amusement before she powered up. However, unlike previous times where her form became surrounded by a golden aura, she was instead surrounded by a sheath of golden lightning, which began tearing up the landscape around her.
"Don't get cocky! When put in the right hands, overwhelming power can just as easily negate mind-blowing speed!" Her lightning sheath beginning to focus around her right hand, the female Saiyan started clenching up her fingers and bringing her entire arm to bear on her target. From the way she was struggling, it seemed like she was concentrating an enormous amount of power into her limb, a development that immediately alerted Zangya to danger. "I learned this strategy years ago while Sandra and I were under the direct command of General Nappa: our former instructor and commander!"
"Nappa?" Zangya murmured, "Wait a second. That name sounds familiar." Wasn't he that big, bald Saiyan that came to Earth with Vegeta and beat the living hell out of Gohan and her friends? She distinctly remembered the demi-Saiyan telling her about that battle… and it wasn't pretty.
Grinning excitedly, Maya then took aim by extending her middle and index fingers, before then craning her head to the side. "He taught us many things about Saiyan combat, stuff that allowed us to fight and survive in the harshest conditions imaginable. But I was the only one who took the time to learn his techniques!" After several more seconds of charging, she was ready, and the Super Oozaru showed this with one, massive outburst. "Let me show you one of them!" She then thrust her index and middle finger upwards. "BAKUHATSUHA!" (Exploding Wave)
In an instant, the gravity in the Mountain Ranges over a twenty mile radius inverted, lifting rubble, pebbles, stones and Zangya several meters into the air. The Hera gasped, instinctively crossing her arms over her face. A split second later, a blinding flash of light exploded off of Maya's body, before a powerful chain of explosions engulfed the entire region inside range of her technique, which then traveled outwards. Entire mountains ended up disintegrated in the blast in a matter of seconds, leaving nothing but a smoking crater in its wake…
