"Kakarot, what do I do?! Help me! Use that gold thing of yours!" Chichi screamed, shooting a shockwave out of her palms as she floated just out of reach of the giant lizard thing's mouth.
The shockwave slammed into the lizard's face… and did nothing.
"Don't worry, Chichi! I've got this!" Kakarot jumped into the air, landing a perfect spinning kick right onto the dinosaur's snout. "TAke this! YAAH!"
The dinosaur roared… in mild annoyance.
Then, it shook its head, throwing Kakarot to the side.
Kakarot rolled in the dirt for a few feet before springing up… just in time to get hit right in the chest by the monster's gigantic tail.
"BWAAP!" It was uncertain whether the sound effect came out of Kakarot's mouth or was simply the general sound of the reptilian tail smacking into his chest, but the result was the same.
He was thrown fifty feet, and literally ended up eating dirt.
Immediately, the reptile forgot about him. Turning its head to Chichi in the air, it sucked in a breath.
Then released a massive pillar of flame from its jaws in her direction.
"Kakarot! Stop messing around and use that golden thing!" She shouted, putting out the flames as they singed the end of her hair.
Kakarot stood, spitting out the dirt in his mouth. "I can't!" He admitted, his eyes narrowing in desperate concentration as he realized the truth.
"Then try again!" Chichi shouted, not knowing what else to do.
That thing was a lot stronger than he was. In sheer number alone, its power level was comparable to Kakarot's own when he used SSJP… which he couldn't tap into right now.
As for why Kakarot couldn't tap into SSJP? No, it wasn't a skill problem.
SSJP strengthened the body utilizing Blutz Waves as fuel.
Blutz Waves were created by the sun bouncing off of the moon.
Wherever they were, there was a sun.
Two, in fact. But no moon. Just… a rocky ceiling, high above.
Without a satellite for the sun's rays to reflect off of in a certain way, there were no Blutz Waves at all to absorb.
No fuel, no SSJP. Even Ikari mode was completely out of reach for Kakarot, right now.
He'd kind-of known that before. Over his time staying in Tater's mansion as a guest, the secret behind SSJP and the Ikari had been let slip, first by Cynder, then later by Tater. He'd heard the theory behind Blutz Energy and S-Cells before, and how it all tied into the moon…
But he was Kakarot. So he still tried.
Unfortunately, without the ability to directly convert energy into Blutz Waves, he wasn't going to succeed. That was simply how it was.
And to his credit, Kakarot realized this after only a few seconds of powering up. So, instead of continuing to try to pull out a transformation that, for some reason, simply wasn't there at present, he instead cupped his hands together, raising his power level even higher as he broke through as many limits as he could for the sake of protecting Chichi.
"KA-ME-HA-ME…HAAA!" With a shout, the energy wave exploded out of Kakarot's hands with power fueled by his desperation to keep the monster from hurting Chichi.
The power behind it was more than enough to seriously damage someone an entire level above Kakarot's own.
The Kamehameha slammed into the lizard's face… and kicked up a cloud of dust.
The lizard blasted the dust away with a roar and an expulsion of ki energy, forcing Kakarot, on the ground, to raise his hands to keep the dust out of his eyes.
Kakarot rallied anyways. Even if all he could do was irritate it, Kakarot would be the most irritating thing that dinosaur creature had ever met.
…Then, something incredibly strange happened.
It started as a dust cloud on the horizon, and a quiet chanting that sounded like "Boss! Boss! Boss! Boss! Boss! Boss! Boss! Boss!"
Kakarot and the lizard completely stopped their fight, confused, as the dust cloud came closer, proving to actually be a horde of humanoid individuals, whooping and screaming, driving various old-looking vehicles, some of which flew, some of which had wheels, all of which clearly needed maintenance.
The chanting got louder, clearer. "BOSS! HOSS! BOSS! HOSS! BOSS! HOSS!"
The horde was led by a large, blue-skinned man, almost as big as the Ox King, riding an also-oversized motorcycle, with a giant double-headed battle axe strapped to his back.
With a powerful sweep of his legs, the blue-skinned man swung his motorcycle around at a ninety degree angle. Then, as the motorcycle slid to a stop, he jumped high into the air.
"EEI-YEAH-YUH!"
At the height of his jump, the demon drew the axe from his back and raised it high over his head.
Then, he tumbled forward in a frontflip. It couldn't be sure whether he was being carried by the axe or vice-versa, but either way, he fell directly toward the dinosaur with the force of a meteor falling from the heavens.
The axe slid straight through the monster's neck and embedded itself deep into the ground below.
The dinosaur that Kakarot couldn't even touch was beheaded in an instant. "WE'RE EATIN' TERRABEAST TONIGHT, BOYS!" He shouted, pulling the axe out of the ground and letting it settle on his shoulder with an easy show of impressive strength.
"BOSS! HOSS! BOSS! HOSS! BOSS! HOSS!"
"WHOOP WHOOP!"
