Misfit Redemption Arc.

[Tokiuan Barr]

Misfit Redemption Arc.

Several miles below imperial city, evil is looming. The abandoned and forgotten of Planet Cold have a plan hatching to make everyone pay!

“King..... I have dire news!” the soldier said trying to regain lost air in his lungs. King cold was losing his patience, they had lost several soldiers already to mysterious causes. “What.... must you interrupt me with, get on with it!” King cold yelled pounding his fist off the thrones arm rest. “We found..... We found the tunnel!” the guard stood up straight, finally relieved of his gassed lungs. “Take the rest of your patrol force, then engage the sweeping process, this very well could lead to the answers we seek.” the guard nodded slowly, running out with haste. Below there very feet, the massive machine kept pumping fuels, the green orb gathering strength. “Soon... Soon those insects shall know our wrath!”

Episode One- Descending into Doom

“Damn it's sealed off!” they all cried trying to power through the see through seal. “King cold told us to take care of this, there's no way this idiotic thing will stop us!” their commander roared firing a large Ki blast. It bounced off, knocking everyone back into the surrounding walls. “It's no use... Now who gets to report our failure?” all the guards looked around, no one willing to take any blame for this embarrassment. A light slowly flashed below them, no one was aware of anything. “Back to your routines, this is a failed mission.” the commander barked storming off with out a care in the world. Worried looks and grunts were passed around, followed by them exiting one by one.

Tokiuan took strides through the city, giving evil grins to any whom looked at him with disgust. Within a matter of minutes, a group of guards surrounded him, eagerly anxious with excitement. “You demon, have once again been summoned by King Cold.... Come along now!” some one spoke up, it didn't really matter who it was. “I did my deed for the King, I'm a clear man, or demon rather.” Tokiuan said with a huge grin on his face. Nobody dared to make the first move, hoping that maybe he would panic with striking out. “I'm afraid enforcement will have to place this order.” Tokiuan clenched his fists looking around. The first few assaults, were easily swatted away. Then something cold snapped against his neck, making everything go dark.

“You will not be allowed out, until it's done..” the voice barely reached his ears, Tokiuan was still severely wounded. “You will learn the law soon enough!” his vision cleared, King cold waved with a horrid grin, locking the door with some energy wave shield. “Where am- I...” Tokiuan whispered slowly finding the strength to stand up. “You won't get away with this King cold, your death will come soon..” “Oh how I just love promises from a fellow fiend!” with that, the King left with his royal guards. They wouldn't return until assurance of success was guaranteed, the demon could fend for himself.

The closed off energy must have been just a hallucination, Tokiuan could clearly see a path down the hole, if he very well pleased to enter. “This may prove as a great test to my power, then it's King colds turn!” he vowed to himself jumping down the bottomless darkness. Tokiuan squinted hard, nothing was in view after 30 seconds of lightning swift plummeting. “Where the hell is this!?” Tokiuan roared starting to have an unsettling feeling rise up his chest. Then a thud, Tokiuan heard his body smash into the ground, uncertain of the possible damage. Standing up slowly it would seem that there wasn't much except for a few torch lights. “H-Hello?” someone cried out in need of help obviously. Tokiuan shrugged his shoulders trying to follow the poorly displayed lighting.

“No.... don't go that way, if you stay here then nobody will find us!” the alien was truly spooked, his quivering body knelt in the corner. Mass amounts of blood seemed to be pooling around him, too weak for the drop down. “Unlike you, I have the power to fend off anything this strange place could deal.” this brought even greater fear to the eyes of the wounded body, no more words were spoken between them. Tokiuan slowly forced his body into the small opening, shaking side to side in order to move forward in the cramped space. “Must be tiny or something!” Tokiuan grunted annoyed with how difficult moving around was becoming.

The second he stepped out of the tunnel, a fist cracked him in the side of the skull. Tokiuan slipped, then ate a knee, crashing to the ground with a thunderous slam. “Look some fresh meat at last!” the large man howled swinging down with one hand. Tokiuan struggled to flip into the air, barely landing on two feet. “You're looking to die I take it?” Tokiuan muttered trying to shake the fuzziness away from his head. “No need to struggle, your going to succumb to our needs.” Tokiuan raised an eye brow not entirely comfortable with responding. Instead, he threw both hands forwards, firing off an energy blast. “That all momma send you packing with?” the large man barked stepping out from the shadows, dust flying off his shirt. Half his face was gone, yellow goo slowly poured down over the tattered clothes trying to hang on.

“A human....?” Tokiuan gasped not sure what to make of this, not scared, only intrigued. “You are not in a predicament to ask what we are...” this exposed a lot of rage and passion from his bizarre attack. “They call me the 'Collector' because that's what always gets done, including now.” Tokiuan put up his guard, with lack of speed however. The collector drove a shoulder into his chest, then grabbed his head to fling him into a wall. Tokiuan slid to the ground annoyed with anger. “Damn I can't move!?” the fact his body was refusing to budge was appalling, uncharted grounds were before him. The collector power lifted, getting the demons body on his shoulder with ease, one hand. “You will learn the rules down here.” Tokiuan tried to fight but it was useless, his body just wasn't willing to put up with the battle that was subcontinental.

“Eat or kill? You will regret either action you try.” The collector rolled his eyes, not bothered by the threat of the weakened prisoner. After passing through tunnels for days, they finally made their stop in front of a massive cell. People lifted their heads, alerted by the sign of other life. The collector fooled around with the thick heavy chains, then hurled Tokiuan face first into what appeared to be his new home. “Mask will be calling you all very soon... Try to have a horrid sleep.” Tokiuan thought about pointing out the grammar problem, then shrugged it off. No one dared step foot near him, this was probably the first demon that had been put down here, an obvious attempt to harass then even more maybe. Then the torches blew out one bye one, they were all left alone in the dark, a small whistling could be heard from outside their holding cell.

Episode Two- Way of the Misfortune

Several days had passed, no word of a guard approaching or anything. Tokiuan had affirmed the role of the person to avoid, not even the real freaks dared anything. “I won't lose anything by killing you.” Tokiuan snarled the one time some one tried to get a little too close, it never happened again. “Someones coming!” finally some of the pathetic prisoners chose to speak out. It wasn't the collector, this power had a lot more strength behind it. Tokiuan felt a funny feeling, his body! All the senses were rushing back. With great speed he lunged through the air, his head against the bars to knock the person back. “Charge the gate!” Tokiuan screamed looking to get a riot going. The useless morons, no one dared move an inch on the shaken up body lying on the ground. “Poor choice I'm afraid...” the figure rose up, cracking his neck with agony. “Who dares to hit the second in control?” everyone hushed, scurrying off to their respective corners. Tokiuan looked around confused, holding his ground with uncertain thoughts.

Covered by a battle mask, the only thing he could tell was that this person had the word Punisher tattooed over his chest. The Punisher smashed his fist off the lock, then quickly unlocked it with frustration. Tokiuan stood still trying to plan a counter attack. “Mask must be out of his mind, thinking you would be a good entrant in the tournament!” Punisher screamed throwing a back hand. Tokiuan dodged the first one, catching a swift kick to the chest shortly following it. “Ugh...” he groaned collapsing to the ground in awe of the intense power flowing through this freak. “Get up, it's time for us to gauge your power.” Punisher never waited for a response, he grabbed the leg of the demon, hauling him out into the open. “You will make your way down this path, taking a left to where all the other appliers are waiting.” with that he was left all alone, barely able to get back up.

The room Tokiuan finally found must have been the right place, six other aliens were scattered about, looking anxious. “Does anyone know whats going on? What's this tournament thing?” his eyes scanned the room, nothing looked back or attempted to reply. “Cowards, all of you.” Tokiuan sighed growing bored of all the random secrecy, even between fellow hostages. “Attention.... spots of our prized fighters have been secured..... We need fillers now. This tournament will serve to prep our very best for the journey we desperately seek! Only one shall leave this room, farewell.” the small speaker box then exploded, all seven of them looking at each other with cold stares. The biggest of the group walked away, leaning against the wall. It was clear that he wasn't like the others, something strange floated around him. “Have at it.... this is pathetic” a grunt boomed out of the alien, then he took a nap. Tokiuan dashed forward, throwing a heavy kick that instantly broke a neck. “Hmm? This won't be much of an issue.” with that he spun around, smashing his elbow into another aliens skull that was lurking.

The last three all lunged at him at once, it was a useless attempt. Tokiuan roared as three heads all landed then rolled away within seconds. “So I guess I-” before he finished, his view turned to the farthest wall. “The names Reeki..You aren't half bad, I just don't want to die at this time.” with that a massive fist plowed into the demons face, almost killing him dead on. Tokiuan winced then looked up to see Reeki bringing a boot down. Throwing up his hands up was the only option he could think of, poor choice. A sick snapping sound could be heard, partly an arm, partly a foot breaking. “You foul demon!” Reeki roared trying to hop away. Tokiuan couldn't help but laugh, it took away the pain from his possibly broken arm. “I must say, you could almost take down that collector.” “Then why can't I obliterate you then?” Reeki snarled back furiously.

A shadow appeared by the door way, arms folded impatiently. Most likely Punisher no doubt, he was even stranger then the collector with his hidden agenda. “I can't afford to lose, My family still thinks I'm alive.” Reeki said slowly walking towards him. “Ten years, since the beginning of this sick plot. No more!!!!!!!!!!!” Reeki yelled running full speed with intent. Tokiuan twirled around, seeing a great opening. “I can't afford to lose either, my goals haven't been achieved. So I'll finish this!” with that his fist landed hard, impacting the sternum with a thunderous sound. “May you see your family in Hell” Tokiuan snarled pulling back. Reeki let his eyes roll back into his skull, falling to the ground which shook the entire room.

“I have no trouble killing, especially if your going to throw the soldiers of this sick place at me!” Tokiuan stormed off to the door, it was most likely unlocked once some one had been laid on the ground dead. Punisher flung the door open, smashing him in the face. His body sprawled to the ground instantly, everything was going black and hazy. “Good job scum, you might actually have it in you, we always could use the help in the long run.” Punisher spoke in a calm voice, pulling the half knocked out demon to his feet. Tokiuan tried to keep his head up, staring with intent to kill, if only something could be done with just your eyes. Punisher walked him back to the cell, handing over a small medal token. “This will assure the guards let you in, not just kill your sorry soul on the spot.” Punisher said turning to leave, then turned back. “Almost forgot to lock this back up! Good night saiyan, oh I meant demon.” Punisher rolled his eyes laughing, this was not a creature of hell in his eyes.

Episode Three- Welcome to the Tournament.

“Now who is that?” Mask said intrigued by the man that looked like a normal saiyan. Punisher gave a firm nod, acknowledging the question before answering. “My lord... that is the demon who King cold sent to stop us I would presume, he's very weak yet his power caps all of our other prisoners.” Mask didn't remove his stare from the waiting area, you could only see out of this window, not in which was a bonus. “Interesting, I hope the challenge serves him well, another body for the journey up couldn't hurt right?” Punisher submissively nodded again, his whole persona had changed around their leader.

There seemed to be quite a few entrants in the tournament, many just like him, the champion soldiers presumably in another room. No powers seemed to be too overwhelming, it was what awaited on the other side that would be the task at hand. Prayers, cursing emitted once the speaker box in this crammed space lit up. “Greetings..... one by one, you shall be called out in pairs. Champions will not compete until you are eliminated down to five.” May the best parasites win!” yet again, the explosion occurred, this time with more sparks flying out everywhere. “Lets just get this over with.” Tokiuan barked making all the contestants turn around for a brief stare. “Lets hope you all fight better then you communicate!” he screamed at the shaken up prisoners.

The first two were called up, putting on a great show of talented speed work. Only a few of the other aliens were able to keep tabs on the fight, there could possibly be some fun challengers waiting among the group. Five minutes later, a small orange man reentered the waiting room, hands behind his head without a care in the world. The purple alien beside him quickly whispered something with a sly smirk, then turned back to the arena viewing window with haste, lord knows what would happen if you missed a name calling. The next three fights wrapped up, all of the losers executed on the spot. Tokiuan glanced up passed the fighting area, just hardly able to see the master view room. The villain behind this was most likely relaxing up there.

“Tokiuan.... make your way out.... Rhinorrx you as well!” a speaker phone hidden away somewhere boomed out the two names with passion. Down the ramp, a quick look to the left revealed his opponent. The rather fat being wore massive blue armor, a single horn protruding from the forehead. “You will be my first demon slayed in years, congratulations.” Rhinorrx said speeding up to reach the arena first. “Keep your hopes up if it will give me a better fight.” was the only thing he could respond with. Everyone in the waiting room was paying close attention, the demon was obviously the main attraction of the tournament so far. “Prepare yourself!” Tokiuan yelled running off at top speed.

Rhinorrx stood still, eagerly awaiting the first hit. Tokiuan slammed his fist hard into the big chest of the beast, with no damage done what so ever. “That's insane.... how!?” Rhinorrx let out a stupid laugh, back handing him, which almost knocked Tokiuan right off the platform. “You may have power, don't that that alone will be enough to handle me...” it was a empty promise, as things stood at the moment, Tokiuan knew it. They both rushed forward slamming fist to fist. “Look at this! The little demon didn't break his hand, or did you?” Rhinorrx snorted, annoyed at the reaction speed. “No!!!!!!!!” Tokiuan screamed pulling back, throwing his head right into the heavy chest.

“That's not all I have you big guy!” Tokiuan fired off a energy ball, which connected hard. The whole arena lit up with red light, blocking every ones view of the fight. “Punisher, what has happened?” Mask demanded trying to sense for results. Punisher closed his eyes, his mind transferred into the two fighters bodies. It only worked for Tokiuan as Rhinorrx was unable to be detect. “It's over...” Punisher whispered into the ear of Mask who quickly lit up his face with a smile.

“Tokiuan..... is the victor?” a voice said as it cracked a bit, pieces of the hulking body could be seen in every section. “Let's hope the champions put up more of a challenge for some of these parasites!” Tokiuan clenched his fists, walking back into the waiting room. “Not bad....” the purple alien he got a glimpse of earlier said casually. They gave each other a firm nod, not really out of respect, just to acknowledge their fighting paths could cross very soon. “I will survive this, and then make this so called Mask pay for whatever the main reason behind this could possibly be!” Tokiuan vowed to himself underneath heavy air trying to escape.

“My Lord, our champions are eager to test their abilities against such filth.” Punisher said with a blank face. Mask stood up from his seat, leaving the room without saying a word. “My Lord?.... where are you-” the words failed to reach him, Mask was already down the hall way, furious feeling boiling up into his heaving chest. “That demon..... something about him is too familiar....” it was an awkward memory, nothing complete, just a broken relapse of old forgotten times. Mask sleeked into the secret room, the wall once again appearing to hide it. The machine was burning bright with raw power, it wouldn't take long for everything to reignite. “Soon.... by the end of the tournament Planet Cold shall know a wrath like no other!” all his muscles tensed, the room hiding the power burst coming forth from his blood. It had been so many years, many that followed the journey had no idea, or lacked the common sense to grasp it. Mask would never forget, what the changelings threw upon them after the Crisis.

Episode Four- The Reward Of Failure

Their bodies were battered beyond belief. The tournament patrol guards weren't very kind about it either. No time was given to rest, the secondary part of the competition would commence immediately. The remaining fighters had great talents in respective lights. Tokiuan scanned the room, debating if any of these fools would make it past the champions, to fight him. “I don't know about the rest of you, but I can hardly wait to kill these misfits.” no response, even within those fighting to survive he was just an outcast, not that it really mattered. A small bell rang out, alerting all the contestants that something was about to be announced. “It is time to continue our tournament! Will the strange fellow in the back make his way out to the arena.” Tokiuan took a quick look, short spiky hair, it almost could be a saiyan. Regardless it was well known that fighting wasn't the poor souls strong suit.

“Wow what a brutal kill!” the announcer boomed out with passion. Tokiuan leaped to his feet, running to the window with widened eyes. The saiyan was dispatched of with maybe one or two moves, the body laid in two cleanly cut pieces. There was now four of the prisoners remaining. “This may just prove to be worth while.” he commented not fazed by the gory of the kill. “Orange please make your way out to the arena.” the alien nodded, making an abrupt leave. Tokiuan was curious as to if this was his name, or if these freaks were just tossing out nick names. Orange and Purple dominated, with the other survivor being eaten alive for 30 minutes. Tokiuan calmly stood out the window, eagerly awaiting his turn to display power against the captors.

“Tokiuan, make your way down here, we got a real fight for ya!” the announcer yelled with joyous burst. They obviously weren't showing the sparring elimination bouts between soldiers, trying to keep their techniques under wraps. “You disgust me demon, killing you will be easy!” the faceless man roared, what a hypocrite. He vanished, reappearing behind him with a big grin. “Can't detect that eh?” triumph was in every letter of the sentence. “You should have attacked, instead of boasting!” Tokiuan yelled throwing an upper cut. It was too late, his opponent had vanished again. “That is going to be a problem...” how could you fight something that wouldn't stay still for more then a few seconds? “You're mine!” Tokiuan said catching the faceless soldier right when he emerged several feet away. Startled, he took the punch, spinning around unable to control his body. Tokiuan followed it up with a swift kick that sent him flying, right into the wall outside of the arena in bound markers. Seconds later, the body exploded for leaving the fight zone.

“Give me someone decent to fight.” Tokiuan said wincing, a proud smile overcoming his facial expressions. Then the announcer clicked in, the feel good moment was over. “Change of plans! The final three warriors will do battle all at the same time! Winner will get to face our top champion!” This didn't make any sense, something must have happened for such a sudden change to occur. “This won't change anything!” he roared pointing up towards the master viewing window. Someone was obviously trying to take care of them this instant. The waiting door opened, Orange and Purple walked down with out emotion. “Time to reveal our trick early huh?” Orange nodded in response to this, the two aliens locked heads by head butting, a golden flash blinding everyone.

When vision returned, Tokiuan stood in disbelief. Only a single alien stood before him now, orange with purple lined war paintings all over his body. “We are Orople....prepare to die demon.” then it all made sense, they helped each other with learning the soldiers secrets, knowing something like this would happen. Some sort of fusion technique would no doubt help them push on through to the finals. “With your power, breaking out of here could be easy for us.” Tokiuan said trying to reason with the new powerful foe. “We don't bargain with your kind, it's time to slay everything in this prison.” Orople flexed his arms, this form was probably just gained today.
Tokiuan shook off feeling of doubt, throwing a massive leg sweep. Orople stood firm, not impressed at all. “This better not be it demon...” this made him burn with anger. “You are by far the most impressive being to cross my path in some time.” Tokiuan gave a nod of respect, jumping back. “Demon.... we have too much at stake, don't take our lust to kill to heart.” Before he could respond the alien rushed forth, grabbing at his throat. Tokiuan tried to break free, with no prevail. “Not enough power to survive this place any how...” Tokiuan snapped. A red aura engulfed his body, shaking Orople off with a hurry. There wouldn't be much time left, the power difference was too massive. “I'm sorry, I can't allow you to defeat me tonight.” Tokiuan lunged forward, slamming his fist right into the jaw of this creature. Orople must have understood, then tossed the demon with all his might at the viewing window. The three figures backed off, as Tokiuan crashed through the window with ease.

“Time to join the party!” he yelled firing off a Ki blast. It was thrown back in his face, sending his weakened body sprawling to the arena floor. Tokiuan tried to lift his weakened body, noticing Orople had taken this chance to make a leave. The damn alien made his plan work, this was just going horrible for him. It was time to make a leave, except for the fact two men now stood underneath the only exit. “The Collector, Punisher, we are reunited at last.” Tokiuan spat some blood on the ground, taking a fighting stance. The two brutes calmly walked towards their weakened prey, not worried at all about getting hurt. “Time to die.....” both voices said in perfect sync. “No.... The demon leaves....” Orople stated thrusting his hand through the Collectors throat, before launching him through a wall. Punisher back up slowly, tripping over Tokiuan.

“You two planned this!” Punisher said with horror in his eyes. Orople reached down to pick him up with pleasure. “The after life will not show you mercy!” he barked going for the kill. Then an explosion went off. A powerful wind blew into the arena, coming from an insane power source of some kind. “You fools, now you're going to die anyways.” Punisher said calmly like something dramatic had occurred. “Stay here, I'm going to kill who ever is behind this newest development!” Tokiuan never waited for a reply, he was already running down the hall way. It was easy to track, the intensity grew stronger with every step, moving was almost impossible now.

Finally reaching what jumped out as the cause behind this, Tokiuan dove into the room with all his strength. Lifting his head, the reason became all to clear. The massive machine stood almost twenty feet high, the green orb glowing bright with fury. “What in th-” a voice quickly cut him off. “Ah.... the demon who can't be touched by other slaves, hello Tokiuan.” this made his jaw lock, that voice was very familiar. “You must be Mask I presume, what are you trying to do...” was all Tokiuan could say, the power pouring over this confined room was excruciating to the body. “Revenge.... We were banished down here, soldiers too weak to fight back, be of use. Not anymore! My power has grown 10 fold several times since being down here, this machine will disable all of the surface walkers powers! The King will hand over his throne, before losing his filthy head.” Mask pushed a button, a timer was being called out, with ten seconds left. “10....9...8...7...” “You, you're a deranged coward.” Tokiuan said trying to figure out a way to stop this, he needed King Cold to serve his agenda for now. “6....5.....”

Mask wouldn't even face him, his back turned the entire conversation. “Call me what you will, I shall take it upon my self to make things right!” Then Tokiuan remembered some of the earlier words shot between the two. “Tuffles I take it, not even equal soldiers on their almighty grounds.” this got no reply out of Mask. Tokiuan rushed forward, trying to grab at his shoulder, then the tower ripped up from the ground, blasting off towards the surface of Planet Cold.
