Seeing the thousands of blondes charging towards them forced the heroes into action. Piccolo, moving quickly, forcibly ripped his turban and cape off in one swipe, Goten and Trunks transformed into Super Saiyans, and Videl powered up to her maximum, her white aura bursting around her like a flame. As soon as they were set, including the hulking Android 16, the group of heroes then charged forward and met the oncoming storm with a furious opening assault.
The warriors of earth plowed through the crowd of copies in a blur, with the two young Super Saiyans leading the attack and blazing a path right into the formation, decimating swaths of clones in a single stroke. They only managed to carry this on for several seconds until they were jumped from all sides by a squad of blonde clones, forcing the child duo to take them on in hand-to-hand. Thanks to their diminutive figures and ridiculous agility, it made it difficult for the adult Hasky copies to effectively target them and take them out. However, they did have strength in numbers.
Sooner or later, one of them was bound to land a blow on the little imps.
The tide of battle for the other Z-fighters fighting it out across the enormous Capsule Corp estate began to change at each front. In a show of astounding brute force and power, Android 16 plowed through the copies like the Hulk himself, smashing each copy with megaton punches and batting them aside with no regards for their wellbeing whatsoever. Due to the fact that all of the copies were made out of bodies of light, they weren't actually living people. They were just dummies that acted like them and with that knowledge in mind, every single one of the heroes present were given all the motivation they needed to cut loose and give them hell, no matter how much bodily harm was inflicted.
Hell, the cyborg had gotten so into his role as the brawler in this situation that the red haired Sixteen handily caught one of the blonde assassins in his two gigantic hands and ripped her in half, watching in satisfaction as the woman exploded into a shower of golden dust. This was the fate that befell every single one of the doppelgangers that received too much damage, in which all of them either exploded into a cloud of smoke or vanished in a fiery explosion when ki blasts started to fly.
Bellowing at the top of his lungs, Piccolo unleashed an ass kicking of a lifetime when a whole platoon of Hasky copies attempted to surround him. The man knocked them away with a vicious combination of punches and kicks, and even evaded one of the clones who caught him in a full nelson by reaching over, grabbing her hair, and tossing her into another approaching doppelganger. When the two copies crashed into a crowd coming in from behind, causing a domino effect, the Namekian opened his mouth and unleashed a powerful blast at the stricken group. His attack engulfed an entire line of Haskys in a blazing inferno, one that reached the very edge of the highway running parallel to the property.
Gritting his teeth when he saw another wave coming in from the side, the green warrior took flight and avoided ending up at the bottom of a Hasky dog pile. He took to the skies above the city and drifted over the tops of the neighboring skyscrapers, hoping to get a better view of the situation. It was only when he suspended himself in the air that he received quite a surprise when he saw dozens of blonde clones flying after him, all of them shrouded in what appeared to be golden flames.
When Piccolo realized that they could pursue him wherever he went, the Namekian grinned and drew both his hands back, "Here's something for you to think about! Rapid Fire!" The man roared, before unleashing a continuous barrage of energy spheres towards the approaching swarm of doppelgangers.
The Hasky copies flying after the Namekian looked up just in time to see the rain of golden death plummeting towards them, before becoming engulfed in a series of brilliant explosions. Flashes of light filled the sky as Piccolo mercilessly bombarded them, the screams of the women becoming muffled by the thunderclaps that came with the combusting energy balls. The man didn't stop until the entire area of airspace was filled with a thick black cloud, which covered a great deal of the nearby buildings. When the smoke eventually lifted, Piccolo saw another wave of clones coming right at him from below, which put the man into defensive mode once again.
Down on ground level, as Android 16 was taking his opponents apart one by one, Videl was having her own game of tag just a few yards from the killing field. Kicking away opponents left and right, the raven haired teen was making superb use of her superior agility to strike down the onslaught of clones diving at her from all sides. Receiving a few hits of her own, the woman retaliated with a furious onslaught of punches, taking out an entire swath of clones and managed to jump out of the death circle that they'd formed. Powering up, Videl rocketed out of reach of the swarm and onto another part of the property.
Arriving at the main building, the teen fighter fought off a couple more copies that tried to cut her off, elbowing and kicking them out of her way. Once her path was clear, the human fighter sprinted up the side of the main building, while at the same time being pursued by over two dozen of Hasky's copies. When Videl reached the top of the dome structure and looked over her shoulder to see the clones inadvertently line themselves up, the raven haired girl slammed her feet into the roof, spun around, slid to a stop, and threw both hands forward.
When she did, a deafening roar left her hands in the form of an explosion of energy. "KAMEHAME-HAAAAA!" Two enormous blasts of blue ki gushed out of her palms, instantaneously engulfing the wave of attackers and those advancing along the lawn behind them when the attack expanded and flooded the front yard of Capsule Corp. The detonation that followed rocked the entire complex and neighborhood, startling the employees, as well as all the residents in the area.
All those Hasky clones that were standing closest to the heart of the explosion were almost instantly disintegrated. When the smoke cleared seconds later, it revealed an enormous trench had been burnt across Capsule Corp's property and Videl standing proudly at its entry point.
As time ticked on minute by minute, the battle between the Z-fighter's and Hasky's powerful clone army continued. More explosions and shockwaves rang out across the lawn of the enormous estate, with trees and nearby buildings accidentally getting caught in the crossfire. Though the heroes of earth tried to avoid getting the rest of West City involved in their scuffle, they were unable to help let a few stray shots hit the distant buildings and countryside. Little by little, their conflict with the blonde assailant slowly, but surely, moved to encompass the rest of the nation.
The majority of the battle took place at the source of the outbreak, in other words ground zero. It was here, in the very heart of the conflict, Hasky could be seen standing with a smug look on her face and her arms folded comfortably across her chest. Watching as another platoon of clones met their end at the hands of her enemies the blonde woman quickly created another squad and sent them in to pick up the slack. Things were going well from her point of view and she continued to watch the fights play out with a thoroughly entertained look on her face.
But just as she was getting comfortable with the concept of being a spectator, a loud battle cry drew her attention over her shoulder, where she saw the enormous dog pile of clones she'd formed on top of Kana get incinerated in a brilliant flash of light. When the fire lifted and became replaced by a pillar of smoke, a golden bolt shot out of the crater formed by the blast and suspended itself in the sky above. When Hasky looked up, she saw the orange haired Seirei hovering high above her, looking a little bit roughed up but ultimately unharmed.
Snarling when she immediately spotted the original Hasky standing on the grass below, Kana chucked her hands forward and formed a concentrated sphere of energy, which pulsed with golden bolts of electricity shooting off of her. "STAR BURST!" She then launched the attack down at her target like an artillery round, the orb rocketing towards the woman at terrific speed.
In spite of the attack's size and speed, Hasky merely scoffed and nodded her head towards the approaching ball of ki. "Svalinn!" (Shield that deflects the Sun) In the blink of an eye, a golden cloud of dust formed directly above her before solidifying into an enormous Norse shield, about the size of a pagoda roof, with a sun crest on its front, which suspended itself protectively above its owner. The attack launched by Kana impacted the circular barrier with a metallic clang, but ended up disintegrating against its surface in a shower of sparks.
Recoiling in shock, Kana hurriedly fired three more of the exact same attack from her hands in rapid succession, shouting every time the blasts left her hands. The attacks, each carrying enough power to disintegrate an entire planet, rained down on Hasky with the intent of wiping her out. But every time the energy balls impacted against the plate of golden steel, they rebounded and dispelled with no effect whatsoever. The instant the attacks were stopped, the massive shield broke apart into a cloud of photons and instantaneously reformed into a golden spear, with lightning and wind engravings all along its shaft.
When the tip pointed directly up at Kana, the metal began to glow and funnel golden wind energy into a miniature cyclone around it. As soon as the air gathering started to reach critical mass, Hasky smirked and uttered her next incantation. "Gae Bolg!" (Spear of Mortal Pain) The Celtic spear then launched a powerful beam straight from its blade, which shot up towards Kana faster than a bolt of lightning
The super fast attack caught the Seirei by surprise, first impacting her in the chest and knocking her spinning out of the sky, before continuing to travel off planet and across the solar system. It was only when the blast reached the approximate orbital distance of Neptune did its power finally recede and the attack finally faded, with the spear formed by the particles vanishing on the wind in a manner similar to how it appeared.
Kana, who'd been the primary target of the attack, crash landed on the lawn of Capsule Corp with an earthshaking bang and a shower of debris. Seeing the woman's collision with the ground brought a smirk to Hasky's face, only to have it vanish moments later when she sensed another presence teleport directly behind her. When she spun around, she saw Piccolo lunging at her with a punch, his eyes set firmly on her head. The blonde woman blinked in alarm as the Namekian dove at her, letting out a yell of effort as his knuckles cut towards her face.
All of a sudden, the momentum in Piccolo's attack vanished when his body unexpectedly jerked to a stop. Eyes widening in bewilderment, the man looked behind him to see a series of golden chains wrapped around his arms, chest and torso in a very web-like formation. Each of the golden lengths protruding from four energy spheres hovering about in the air, they held the green warrior firmly in place, before the warrior's eyes snapped back towards his opponent.
Her face hovering just a few inches from his, Hasky grinned. "You want to play, too? Very well. Loeding!" (First Chain of Fenrir)
Piccolo yelled out in shock when his body was then yanked backwards and tossed through the air, the chains of energy whipping him in circles through the sky several times. After making about fifteen turns, the chains then threw the former guardian high into the air and released him, sending him hurtling into the clouds and providing the blonde assassin the perfect target.
Thrusting her arm out and pointing her thumb, index finger and middle finger at the airborne Namekian, the woman smirked and spoke, "Donar!" (Thunder) In a flash, golden streams of lightning exploded from her fingers and struck the green warrior like a whip, engulfing him and burning him from head to toe. Piccolo cry of agony echoed for miles, before he was thrown across the city and into a distant skyscraper, which he impacted against and took out every single window on that floor.
After sending that nuisance packing, the blonde woman then turned her attention forward once again, where she saw a swath of her clones get cut down, and Goten and Trunks come blasting through them directly towards her.
"Leave Mr. Piccolo alone!" the former of the two shouted, his body covered in noticeable bruises and his eyes burning with fury. Both boys gave simultaneous battle cries as they rushed the assassin in front of them.
Seeing that the two of them were bathed in their Super Saiyan auras as they went at her at full speed, Hasky merely grunted and, using the same hand she'd wielded to cast her lightning attack at Piccolo, summoned a lance into her hand. The stylishly engraved Yari dropping into her palm, the woman cocked it over her shoulder and swung it through the air. The result was the blade at the end unleashing a golden wave of energy at the two children, the force being so great it not only ripped the ground in front of them asunder, it sent the youngsters barreling across the property, simultaneously decimating the remaining army of clones she had fighting on her behalf.
Android 16, in the midst of taking out another wave of them, ended up getting hit headlong by the lance's shockwave, and was sent barreling over the lawn under the hail of rubble.
Watching her effortless swing lay down a path of total destruction across Capsule Corp's doorstep, literally fracturing the earth with its effectiveness, Hasky then twirled the lance around and laid it across her neck. Drumming her fingers against the metal bar and inspecting her handiwork, Hasky then glanced upwards when she sensed another presence approaching and saw Videl diving straight down at her.
Yelling out, the girl struck at the blonde with the intent of burying her, only to hear a loud clang echo across the estate when her knuckles slammed into a transparent, golden bubble that jumped up around her target. The crime fighter of Satan City gritted her teeth at the way her attack was stopped, which earned a satisfied smirk from the assassin she was trying to beat up.
Without warning, Videl quickly vanished in a blur of speed and dropped down directly in front of her opponent. As soon as she did, she struck at Hasky with a roundhouse kick. She then watched in frustration as her foot slammed into the same shield, which completely deflected the force of her blow and sent the raven haired girl sliding back along the ground behind her. When it seemed like her attack had ended, the female crime fighter threw her hand forward and let loose a scattered ki blast at her opponent. The five individual rounds curved through the air and converged on Hasky's position, only to bounce off of her light barrier one after the other.
Before Hasky could make a comment on the girl's seemingly pitiful attack, she suddenly sensed Kana teleport behind her and strike at her head. The blonde woman evaded the swift punch however, allowing the Seirei to overshoot, which ended in the orange haired alien getting nailed in the back by the woman's staff when she spun it about. This sent the space traveler flying forward and into the ground, leading to the alien bouncing off of the ruined floor and back to her feet. Sliding to a stop, the plug-suit wearing visitor glared up from where she was crouched on all fours, her face covered in burns and bruises.
Videl's appearance looked no better than hers and, standing side by side, the two women faced off against the original Hasky with courage and annoyance radiating equally between them.
Catching her breath, Kana couldn't help but curse, "Damn it… this woman is powerful. No matter what we try or how fast we move, she's always waiting with a counter attack."
"Not only that, but it also seems like she's getting stronger," Videl added, at the same time hearing Goten and Trunks land behind them to join the fray. This then led to the raven haired girl looking across at them with a serious glare. "Listen. We won't be able to do anything unless we get passed her defenses, so I think the best course of action is to attack her from all sides at the same time. That way we can get through that barrier and stop her from using any of those weird weapons."
The Seirei narrowed her eyes, "Are you sure that will work?"
"I don't know, but we have to try something. She only seems to be able to summon one type of weapon at a time and all of them have a limited range. If we tag her with synchronized blows, there's no way she'll be able to block them all."
Considering the girl's words for a moment and looking across at their adversary, whom they could see was standing in the middle of the decimated landscape with her spear over her shoulder and a cocky smile on her face, Kana then clenched her fists and nodded. "Alright. Let's do it." The moment she voiced her agreement, all the nodes on her suit lit up a brilliant blue before she rocketed into the air at light speed.
