A Hero Tale {Complete}

Rajaka's spheres followed Jeff without the slightest bit of regard for the distance. Those that were struck simply ate his attacks, or allowed them to go straight through them, shrinking only slightly as they pursued. Their sheer number was too large to eradicate, and they maintained over 70% of their mass despite his efforts. They continued to chase him across the crater as he left Rajaka's immediate field of View. Rajaka scoffed, turned around, and continued walking inland with his hands placed firmly behind his head. "Alright then," He grunted, slowly picking up pace, and running towards the opposite edge of the crater.

Rajaka grinned and dug his back foot into the ground, spinning to face Jeff as he brought himself back down to the ground. His wounds disappeared while he preemptively prepped for whatever the windy-dude was about to do. "Gotchya, finally," He grunted, quickly swinging his hand towards Jeff and clenching his fist. The aura around him began to glow even brighter. Rajaka rose his other hand to the side and unleashed another volley of energy spheres. The hundreds from above spun around in midair and bolted towards Jeff from above, while the new ones shot out and began to circle around him. "Flash marking, successful. Kiss my ass, fly boy."

Rajaka kept his eyes on the sky, waiting for the little fly to swoop down again. He caught note of Jef coming down, and spun around, barely fast enough to see him aiming a glob of whatever the hell that shit was towards him. The cut ran down from his upper shoulder to his waist, only a few inches deep once again, but the nanobots missed entirely, evaporated by a sudden shock wave of Ki that Rajaka launched with his right hand, missing Jeff in the process. He sighed and looked back up at the sky. The incoming bombardment of scythes was dispatched with another shock wave that erupted from every point in his body, eliminating them one after another before they could strike him, or the ground.

"Nice try, fly boy."

He reached back towards his cut and pushed into it slightly as it began to close up. The back of his vest was ripped in two now, slowly falling off of his body to leave his upper half completely bare. He narrowed his eyes for a moment, but sealed them and let out a deep sigh. "I don't have many of those left-" He grunted to himself, opening his eyes to see something bulbous attached to his nose. "Huh?" The following explosion forced him to take a step back. But as the smoke cleared, his was revealed to be relatively unharmed, with only a few shreds of his mask torn away. His upper body recoiled into a dark grey coloration in response to the explosion, but slowly returned to normal, along with the rest of his body. "Well then." He looked up at the sky, and then back down at the ground. Rajaka smiled and shrugged, waving both his arms around carelessly. Then he dropped one arm to his side and began to move his right hand's fingers around slowly, while his hand remained still, and his elbow rigid at a 45 degree angle away from his body. "Glow..."

Jeff's body began to glow yellow. Something was clinging to his Ki. It grew brighter and brighter until it enveloped his entire being. Rajaka glared up and spotted the yellow spot through the clouds. He lowered both his hands and crouched down, as if to brace his entire body. Both of his hands enveloped themselves in globes of radiating energy. "Time to make you," Rajaka thrust his hands upwards and unleashed a flurry of small yellow spheres, hundreds at a time, into the sky randomly, "SHINE!"

Rajaka cringed as Jeff seemed to fly towards him. He ignored the falling body though, and began to look around frantically. "Where'd you go you tricky little shithead?" He shouted, looking around the crater. "I may not be all that smart, but bodies don't fly towards the ground when I'm blastin' them away." He paused and looked up at the sky, peering through the clouds carefully. "That shouldn't have hit you, anyways..."

The nano bots mapped out Rajaka's blood system quickly, but it was peculiar to say the least. First and foremost, his blood pressure was insanely high. The little robots had a hard time manoeuvring through his river-like veins, rushing against an constant current that kept his body healthy. What made it even weirder, was the fact that they passed through at least 4 hearts on their trip through his body. They were huge, positioned all around his chest area, and emitted a loud thud with each beat that echoed through his entire system like a chorus of drums. His lungs were another story. He only had two, but they were absolutely massive, hugging his abnormally sized rib cage and bringing in massive amounts of air. The rest of his body seemed relatively normal, aside from the lack of a liver, kidneys, and an intestinal system more than twice as long as a human's. He must've been able to eat anything. Traces of powder made their way through the final sections of the small intestines. Without the liver to filter is, there were still significant traces flowing through his bloodstream, and being injected into his muscles and brain. His brain however, was not receiving nearly as much blood flow as the rest of his body.

Rajaka pulled his arm down and began to flex it, aiming to strike the sky.

"Found ya,"

His arm grew slightly, and he unleashed a thunderous punch towards the sky. The nanobots in his right arm were destroyed instantly by a sudden overflow of Ki, but before this, they were able to pick up on a peculiar physical behaviour within his body. His muscles literally grew, and then shrank, like balloons. Bigger, and than smaller, as if he'd just created more muscle in order to improve his attack. When they grew however, they seemed more relaxed. The bigger they were, the less tense Rajaka felt. No wonder he was so big.

Another shock wave began to fly towards Jeff, identical to the first, but directly afterwards, Rajaka rose both his hands horizontally, and spun his body around 180 degrees, unleashing another series of shock waves in a circle around him to cover the entirety of the ground, including where Jeff's clone was falling. With the air, and the ground covered for the next few seconds, he hoped Jeff would fall into his trap.

Despite his efforts, Rajaka's Ki wasn't physically affected by the wind or the flames. It remained stagnant, while the explosions headed straight towards him. The giant dropped both his arms and narrowed his vision slightly, bracing himself for impact as flames engulfed his figure entirely. As the explosions died down and the smoke cleared, Rajaka was still standing. What was strange however, was how his skin had taken on a rough, grey coloration. It remained that way for a while, but his body seemed relatively unharmed by the attack, save for a few strands of hair that grew back almost immediately. He un-tightened his pose and smiled wide. "I know I ain't special, bub. But I'm strong. I'm a never ending supply of energy. My ki is practically overflowing. I mean LOOK AT THESE MUSCLES! Rajaka flexed his body, expanding his muscles beyond their natural limits ever so slightly before letting them deflate back to their regular, still overbearing size. "And it's like Zelriane says, strong people make the rules." Rajaka widened his stance, stretching his arms out in a welcoming posture. "I'm gonna make this simple so you can fit it in that banjaxed little head of yours. Here. Here it is. A simple thought. Here's the first and only rule of Rajaka law; You can't hurt me, bitch." His muscles twitched quietly. He pulled his left arm back stiffly, working out the tensity that built around his healed shoulder, and thrust it forward towards Jeff, creating a golden wave of energy that expanded at it headed towards him, quickly growing into a massive wall as it travelled, nearly 50 yards in diameter by the time it came within range of Jeff.

Rajaka's body didn't recoil as the bullet struck his wound, momenets before it fully closed itself. The nano-blade dug a few inches into the thickness of his shoulder, but was shrugged off. Rajaka spun around and swatted at Jeff with his good arm, and grunted as he reappeared nearby. "You know, you should probably consider talking less. You're not great at the whole... speech thing." Rajaka's sword wound closed itself up quickly, and his left arm sprung back to life. He cracked his knuckles together and loosely shook his left hand a little. "Keep making those bullets though, kid. Those things leave one hell of a tingle." The spheres that surrounded him began to fade and grow, slowly spreading until they were completely invisible to the eye. The air grew thick as Rajaka flexed his arms. "You 'aint got the power to really hurt me. All ya got are your little toys, and pitiful Ki reserves."

Rajaka grinned and began running forwards. But he lurched and stopped hard on his left foot as something struck the back of his shoulder. He reached backwards as fast as he could, but was blown forward by the series of explosions. An influx of ki fought back against Jeff's attack, spreading out from the open wound and concealing as much of the damage as it could. But as the smoke cleared, there was a visible hole in his left shoulder, and his left arm had gone somewhat limp. The skin around the wound was grey, but he didn't seem any worse for wear. Despite his limp arm, he spun around towards Jeff and extended his right arm above his head, creating a sphere of Ki.

"Yeah, that's it, shrimp. Bring some more of that," Rajaka goaded, letting the sphere in his hand float upwards like a little balloon. He created more spheres, one after another, and allowed them to float away from his body in all directions. The spheres began to surround him, separated by several yards. The injury on his arm was beginning to heal rapidly, but he wasn't looking to move from his spot any time soon.

Rajaka ignored Jeff entirely and continued making his way inland. "I'll pass," He grunted, "You're just like Zelriane. I'm never gonna hit you, the way you're moving. Not like this." Rajaka continued gathering energy inside his body as he walked forwards. "And you'd have to be a complete idiot to sit still. Nah, I think I'm gonna go kill the rest of your buddies while boss man crushes your stupid little friends." Rajaka stomped the ground slightly with one leg and began laughing loudly. He turned to Jeff and stomped again.

"IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN STOP ME!" he shouted loudly, his voice echoed loudly, covering the sound of the two delayed spears of yellow energy shot upwards from either side of Jeff, moving towards him from his blind spots. Rajaka's Ki held a property beyond its most simple nature to overpower other forms of energy. If one was struck by enough of it, it could paralyse their soul. In Jeff's case, it wouldn't take very much. One strike was all Rajaka needed to slow him down. Even if it only lasted for a few seconds, that was more than enough time for him to run over and strike a deathly blow. The giant muscle-head was more clever than he seemed at first, when it came to battle, anyways.

Rajaka's eyes drooped as Jeff sent a flurry of attack towards him. He flexed his right arm tightly as each blade neared, and a flare of Ki roared outwards, dispersing the clones and wind in an instant. Jeff's attacks were stopped effortlessly, silenced by the sheer aura that Rajaka had begun to put out.

"Ok."

The golden giant began to walk forwards. He rose his hands and flicked them outwards with a light shrug.

"I'm an arrogant blockhead. I get that. People won't stop going out of their way to remind me." His hands fell back to his side and he kept walking forwards, away from the center of the crater. He was headed further inland, looking to slowly make his way towards more populated cities. "That says a lot about me, but it says even more about the wimps that try to butt heads with me." He rose one hand and pointed with his thumb towards his back, urging Jeff to try again. "Sometimes it works, though. Y'know, I get real mad, really mad, and break a planet or two. Heh, you'd think they'd stop trying to goad me after losing their first few countries- But no. They insist on calling me an idiot over and over again. Bullying me into a corner until I flatten them." Rajaka chuckled. "It 'aint just my muscles that keep winning me fights, kid. It's self-indulgent little ass hats like you who keep on treating me like a brick. People that just keep tossing stuff at me, expecting a different result every time. That's it, man. That's all it is." Rajaka grunted loudly and stomped the ground. "As much as I like winning, it gets real boring, real repetitive..." Rajaka spun back towards Jeff and pointed towards him.

"When people like you just keep lettin' me win."

_{The World Breaker}

A stature far beyond what normal men could ever hope to achieve. Rajaka stood with an endless stream of energy flowing through his body, gathering at a constant pace as the time went by. He smiled. With both hands, he began to bend and stretch his knuckles, cracking them audibly. His skin let off a dull yellow aura to match the ferocity in his eyes.

"Oh yeah," He growled, "This is gonna to be fun. I'm gonna enjoy snapping your limbs off like brittle branches. I'll plant your ass so far underground, there'll be bitch trees growing for centuries to come." He cracked his knuckles again, and began to stretch his legs out. "I'll be a good sport, though. Go ahead. Take your time to prepare yourself. Turn blue again. That was a neat trick." He began to turn his neck, stretching the tendons in his shoulders. "How'd you do that, some kind of parlor trick? Lights and mirrors?" He spun his neck around and flexed every muscle in his body, still smiling wide.
