YTSK II: Chapter XXXII
In Universe Date: 28 December 2021
Yan screams evilly. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÄAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
As she screams, her body emits a dark purple aura, which is an evil colour. Her entire body then begins to grow. Soon, she is two times bigger then normal. Then four times. Six times. Eight times.
"YES! YES! YES! I AM GROWING STRONGER!"
At the end of her transformation, Yan has grown to ten times her normal size. She laughs evilly. "It's been over a year since I last got to use this form. It's so good to be back. It feels like an old suit I've never had the oppurtunity to wear."
"You can't just spring this on me. What have you done? What game are you trying to pull now?"
A strong and audible burst of laughter erupts from Yan's mouth.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY!?", DH screams.
Yan pauses her laughter and catches her breath, before speaking up. "I'll tell you what. If you can guess who I've last killed with this form, I will give you a free attack against me. Then you can make a good show before I kill you."
Desperate to retake the initiative, DH tries hard to think of an answer so he can get an opening, although he hasn't figured out what he'll use it for yet. "*She said it's been over a year...*" As his mind moves to examine the memories of 2020, he first stumbles upon the trauma of losing his own father. At first, the police couldn't identify the perpetrator. But then, one day, he heard on the news who was really responsible.
"It appears to be a woman who simply goes by the name "Yan". Born into an impoverished Nigerian family, she became a serial killer in her adulthood when she claimed her first victim, Jake Mapping. EmperorTigerstar was her second victim.", the news anchor said. That had led him to privately make his oath to take revenge against Yan, and in his journey for help, he would find Juq.
His thoughts quickly coalesce around the possiblity that Yan first used this form against Jake. That would explain her outburst of laughter. He speaks up.
"My father. You first used this form against my father. Am I correct?"
Yan claps and laugh hysterically. "Bingo! Congratulations, you actually figured it out. You should have seen the look on your dad's face when I first unleashed this upon him. Anyway, to make good on my promise, I will stand still for the next few minutes. Try your best attack, and let's see if something happens."
DH pauses for a moment, in deep contemplation about strategy. After two dozen tense seconds, he takes a deep breath and speaks up. "I'm going to use the final flash against you. I need two arms to perform it, so point me to where your healing juice is so I can regenerate my lost arm."
"Nuh-uh, that wasn't part of our deal! I'd give you a free attack, but I didn't say anything about *healing you*."
"God-damn it!", DH screams.
Silence ensues, until Yan breaks it.
"You know, DH, just out of curiousity, when did you learn the final flash? I've never seen or heard anything about you using it before."
Prompted by Yan, DH's mind scours memories of Juq trying, but failing, to teach him the final flash after he mastered the Kaio-Ken technique. Starting with the knowledge he obtained while Juq was still alive, he had spent the last 8 months trying to figure it through trial and error as part of his training, though it was impossible to complete or truly test with only one arm. Being unwilling to make small talk about his past with Yan, he simply replies: "It's none of your bussiness!" Yan sighs, and says "Oh well" before exhaling a small chuckle.
Afterwards, DH's mind focuses back on trying to defeat Yan. With Juq still fresh on his mind, he quickly conjures a new idea.
"Yan, remember that offer you gave Juq? Where he'd join you if he used the final flash against you and you survived? I give you the same offer. If you help me get my arm back so I can use the final flash, I will join your ranks. I'll even swallow however many fucking estrogen pills you want."
Yan laughs. "*He's bullshitting*", she thinks to herself. "*Hmmm... You know, what the hell do I have to lose? Let's spice things up.*"
Yan reaches into her pocket and reveals a jar filled with green liquid. "I have some healing juice on hand". She gently throws it down to DH, who catches it in his palm. "I will look forward to your service and feminization."
After DH obtains the jar of healing juice, he reconsiders his plans. His eyes scour the corpses on the floor. He first looks at Khey Pard and Historical Map Animator, though he doesn't recognize them. He then looks at Orion. Could the president of Mapperdonia be useful? Maybe Orion could call a submarine which could get down to R'lyeh and save him. Wait, no, it would take too long to arrive. How fast do submarines even move? Can they move to the south Pacific in a single day? Are phone calls even possible in R'lyeh? He gets nervous. "*No, let's not try anything with him. Let's stick to the plan.*"
DH pours the jar healing juice over his left shoulder. Over the course of the next minute, his arm regenerates.
"*What I'm going to try here will be a massive shot in the dark, but it might be worth a try.*"
Dragon Historian throws both his arms open horizontally, with his hands held vertically and fingers wide open. As he starts to gather *ki*, he begins to scream.
*To be continued...*
