Heizen arrived on Earth through his Makaii Portal, his red eyes gazing curiously into the blue orb his ancestors had spoken tales of throughout the many generations on Planet Earth. Flying downward he discovered a nearby town below full of commerce and life. "So this realm has blue skies.... how quaint," he muttered to himself in a soft whisper. It certainly looked a lot more colorful than the Demon Realm. He could see why his ancestors had enjoyed their rule here. Below him was what appeared to be a little village, almost desolate and remote. They clearly had been raided recently, which piqued the Demon's interest. And so with a soft thud his footsteps graced the landscape upon descension, his red eyes staring down the few remaining houses of this rather pathetic settlement.
Roofs had been destroyed, holes existed in walls, and the fields had been blasted in random spots. "Who among you is the leader of this establishment?" he asked, his head scanning from left to right. From what little remained of these inhabitants; it seemed only elderly, women, and children remained. From the crowd sowed an elderly man of about five feet six-inches tall. The top of his head was bald, with no hair save for the white mustache and goatee; he wore nothing on his torso but a black vest and long white pants.
The Jackal Demon was surprised that someone so feeble could be their leader. "Hello," he greeted though his tone bore little energy and emotion. The Jackal Demon looked down at the tiny human, for he was much taller. "Hello, traveler," the elderly man stated plainly in retort. The man looked at him with a strange sense of familiarity. As if they had met before. "So what can you tell me about this village? Why is it damaged so?" the Jackal asked, his head nocked to his left shoulder as he asked. His red eyes staring at the man as he determined his worth in judgement. "A monster has plagued this village for some time. The village has been raided by he and his followers numerous times, and our men have been killed with each attack. If the monster is to return with his band we shall all perish," the Elder bluntly explained.
Heizen's ears perked straight up at the mention of this. A monster? That sounded intriguing. "A monster, you say?" he inquired further. He couldn't hide the smile on his face. Perhaps this would lift his bad mood. The Elder looked at him with a raised eyebrow, as if he was confused with the Jackal Demon's behavior. He nodded in response, not sure what it mattered to a visitor like him.
Heizen crossed his arms. "I'll take care of this beast for you, if you'd like. It sounds like fun," he offered with that smile of his still unextinguished. They could tell this was not out of the goodness of his heart, but merely a whim to their convenience. The elder said nothing, instead lifting his hand and pointing westward. "Somewhere in that direction you will find the Clan you seek. I pray for your success, strange traveler." That was the man's response. Taking it into account Heizen charged his energy- an aura swirling around him in a midnight blue before flying off in a burst of speed, a streak of that blue energy left behind as he flew.
Heizen searched the land for an hour, desperately scanning the landscape to find some sight of the treacherous monster he was searching for. All he could see as he flew over the plains was grass, water, and more grass. Occasionally a farm animal or two. Unable to locate the target he decided to descend onto lower ground. He hadn't lost sense of his direction, but knew he was going to have to scan the area more closely. Though his ancestors had long before him gained the ability to sense energy signatures during their time on Planet Earth, he himself had not inherited the ability. Perhaps that would be something he focused on another time. "Perhaps what I'm looking for isn't out in the open. This planet has caves, does it not? Perhaps it's hiding in such a place. Would make sense given that they were being hunted before by these humans...," he analyzed in the recluse of his thoughts. He ran out searching for his prey on foot. Though he had no way of sensing his target, he still had two functioning eyeballs...
Finally after yet another half hour of snooping he discovered a recently disturbed cave. Perhaps this bunch had been in a recent quarrel? The cave was marked for suspicion as an energy wave had clearly been blasted through the side of the giant rock that the cave's foundation was made of. Clearly one of the monsters he was to deal with was hot-tempered to have caused such senseless destruction. The Jackal Demon readied himself as he made a slow, casual stroll on inside. He was glad his aura would allow him to see, for he hated being in the dark. "Hello?" he called out into the void. The call echoed all throughout the long, dark cave, resonating in the darkness. His ears remained focused and attentive as he listened in. All he could he hear in the darkness beyond- was the sound of snickering laughter. From what he could make out of their voices, some of them being rather high-pitch and young-sounding, while one of them held a much lower tone. Judging by the echos and the different pitches- he had a variety of people to deal with. This was definitely the group he had been searching for.
His slow calm walk turned into a sprint as he ran at high speed through the cavern, ready to face this challenge head on.
As he ran and time began to pass by him he found himself reaching the depths of the cave. he began to notice a dim light in the cave, as if there were lanterns or some other device up ahead illuminating the darkness. Well at least this meant he didn't have to blow the whole damn thing up. Finally he came face to face with the group of monsters, though sufficed to say he was not expecting this. Green, strange-looking creatures of various shapes and sizes. They... were they namekians? No, they couldn't be. He had heard of Namekians as being the peaceful types, and these hardly looked like any of the Namekians he had heard of in the stories...

Heizen stared rather... puzzled at the individuals in front of him. There were at least seven of the grunts in front of him, the two more intimidating guards behind them guarding the leader, and the taller leader in the far back sitting against the wall napping. All of them had red pigmented skin with green spots on their arms (kind of like the inverse of normal Namekians now that he thought about it). The grunts all he horns of various lengths, shapes, and sizes pointing either upward or downward. The stocky one in the front had what looked like a.. bone arm while the other had a similar contraption on the other arm. What in blazes even were these creatures? "I have not been on this planet for long.. but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to meet something so... disgusting. What strange creatures to walk this plane..." he rudely asked rather confidently while scratching the top of his head. His tone was rather calm and passive. Though it was eleven people against one... he still found himself rather composed.
They stared at him silently as he continued to banter, some of their heads leaning toward their left and right shoulders. "Is it the dinosaur's job to crush rodents, I wonder? Though your deeds... disrupt my birthright. Today is your end!" The last declaration being a loud shout, they all seemed alarmed by him. It was as if they couldn't understand his language even though he was speaking in the all-encompassing language of this universe. Perhaps they couldn't speak any languages at all. They didn't seem all that intelligent. His shouting however appeared to wake the tall red guy in the back. He was on equal height with the Jackal himself, and clearly a a real warrior as well judging from his build. He was the only one who seemed even remotely Namekian-like, though his skin like the others was of a different hue.
He stared at Heizen with an annoyed brow, as he was so obviously disturbed by the loss of his nap. "You moron, are you really so primitive to think you can barge into MY lair with such disrespect? I will bury you in the dirt of this cave...," he chided annoyed. Heizen crossed his arms at the threat, not entirely impressed with the man. "Boasting is for the powerful. You possess no such right," he challenged with a wide, cocky grin. Without any warning, the first wave of mindless mutants charged onward at their master's command. It was obvious that the Red Monster had some form of telepathy to command these creatures silently and discreetly. Unfortunately it mattered not. As the five of the grunts all charged him at once, he disappeared with a blink of an eye as he disappeared from their sight entirely. With his vast speed he appeared behind the one in the far back, surprising him as he latched onto the man's head and snapped his neck effortlessly. Not knowing if these things could regenerate, it at the very least would incapacitate it long enough to take of the others. Turning right on around to target him once more, Heizen's grin grew as they all rushed him one at a time.
Side-step he did to the first guy who came charging in a straight line with a punch. Intercept with a frontal kick he did to the guy who tried to do the same right after. Duck and then grab the next two guys by the throats he did when they daringly tried to flank him from both sides. Spinning and throwing the two into the final approaching grunt, Heizen was sure their assault was totally worthless. He could see the grunts did nothing to pose a challenge to him, and so they were disintegrated instantly as he unleashed his power. His dark blue ki overwhelmed them with a mighty shout as he released an explosive surge of ki, erasing the lowly beings from the face of this pathetic cave. The demonic Namekian looked at him with awe and terror as the explosion erased his children with ease. From what Heizen could tell, he was realizing that he had underestimated the demon's power.
Focusing on Heizen for a moment it appeared he was scanning him. Could he sense Power Levels? If he truly was Namekian, the demon supposed it made sense. It was an innate power of their people usually. Preparing himself, he knew the remaining three were the real warriors. And now that they had seen his strength - they would not hold back. The two guards, named "Bongo" and "Vio" standing side by side in front of the Red Namekian made glances toward each other, affirming their strategy. They would all need to attack together to stand the best chance of defeating this fearsome foe. "Defeat is inevitable for you. Will you not surrender?" he asked. Part of him had been searching for a challenge, but these imbeciles hadn't proven themselves worthy of his effort. If they were to surrender to him now he would show them mercy. After all, he hadn't come here on a righteous crusade.
If they were to work under him, then why not spare their lives? A silence formed following his question, as they did not care to communicate with him. The only one who could was the Namekian, who scoffed. "You might be tougher than I thought, dog, but you cannot beat all three of us!" he so declared. Heizen smiled. All three of them began charging yellow energy waves in the palms of their hands, leading Heizen to stretch out both of his arms in charging an energy wave attack of his own. If they wanted to play, then he would play. "Super Hellzone Wave...." so called the Demon as the dark blue energy swirled and grew in the palms of his hands. The three monsters all merged their energy beams into a larger red wave, as Heizen fired his Super Hellzone Wave at the same time. The red and blue beams crashed into each other in the confines of the cave, but even their combined might wasn't enough to combat his energy attack. The blue beam quickly began to overpower them.
"PUT IN MORE!" the Namekian cried to his children. Pumping more energy into their blast they began to overpower Heizen, but he in turn followed suit and overpowered them once again. An explosion rang out as the Namekian tanked his attack, absorbing the damage, the mighty cave exploding out from all around them and destroying the large rock foundation that had formed it. It wasn't enough to completely vaporize him, but Heizen could tell that it would damaged him somewhat. A large cloud of dust rang out from the violent destruction of the cave, a silence continuing as their leader was probably recovering.
Heizen admittedly hadn't expected them to be this good. Individually they were garbage compared to him, but when they pooled their efforts together... they could get the drop on him. He had to be vigilant. One of the children, the large one named Bongo fired a burst volley of energy blasts at him rapidly. Heizen was still recovering from the clash, so he had no choice but to absorb the impact of the attacks. He prepared himself, knowing this was about to hurt. The beams of energy collided directly into him, inflicting blunt damage into his hard shell, the Jackal Demon crying out in pain. It sent him flying back, where Vio appeared and sledgehammered him into the ground.
Colliding hard into the ground, Heizen's body ached as he went head-first. A small crater rose in the damaged cave. They weren't very strong, but they were chipping away at him. And this damned weights weren't making things any easier. "If it weren't for these damn weights, I'd have crushed them by now," he cursed to himself. Heizen knew that situations like this were why he was supposed to wear them. Wearing these weights would allow his body to grow and evolve easier by putting more pressure on him. But it still kind of sucked. The two came flying down towards him to continue their assault. Having regained some of his composure however- he was ready to kick things back up. And with their master still recovering from getting blown up the way he had - this wouldn't take him long. Heizen's ki soared as he unleashed his maximum power to end this quick.
Bongo was the first to try his hand as he charged in with a straight punch, though Heizen caught the arm. With his stamina returned he countered the pathetic attack with a frontal kick that knocked him right into Vio who had been following right after him. The two knocked back into the air. Heizen charged on after them, disappearing from their view as he got behind them. Heizen's target was Bongo, the one who had so annoyingly blasted him with that volley before. He never even saw it coming...
Heizen appeared behind him and smashed his fist into the man's back, causing the Namekian Spawn to cry out in pain. This was his payback, and it would cost the man his life. Following up with a rising knee to the back of the head Bongo felt himself launched high up into the air, the light from his eyes faded as the impact knocked him out. The Jackal Demon didn't stop there however, and disappearing in front of the unconscious, knocked back demon he launched a final punch that had enough power to tear itself right into the man's heart. "Feel The Jackal's Wrath... for my bite is worse than my bark...," he said amused. Vio looked on devastated as his brother was destroyed. Though he could form no words. He let out a battle cry at the Jackal in his rage...
"NYAAAAAA!" he so elegantly cried out. Heizen looked on with a lack of empathy as he stared at him in his rage. The red, short Namekian spawn fired a purple energy that appeared to be much stronger than the attack that he had used previously. Heizen merely smiled however as he sidestepped the blast with ease, an explosion ringing out behind him. That attack was something else... but Heizen was in a whole other level. If only everyone on this planet could be as weak as these fools, then he'd have the Earth under his rule in a week. "Hellzone Wave!" he cried out as he fired a dark blue energy wave toward the creature. Having run out of energy - the creature could do nothing as he swallowed whole into oblivion. In his full power - these Namekian mutations were nothing to him. He almost wished he had done this from the get-go. It was time for him to leave. "Death is a harsh mistress... and tonight you warm her bed," he softly spoke as he began to walk away. To him it was over....
But he didn't see the energy wave coming at him from behind.
A red explosion ensued as the Demon found himself blind-sided by the Red Namekian. "What!?" he thought to himself in his confusion. Little did he know that Sirren had not yet fallen. Veins protruded from his red forehead as his anger with Heizen seemed to have swelled. The Jackal Demon forgot that his previous energy wave had done nothing but injure the creature. "You... imbecile... you killed... all of my children!" he growled with a raised fist. Heizen turned around. He was clearly annoyed. "And you might have been lucky and gotten off free. But now: I will feast on your entrails..." he growled back, his threat sincere.
Sirren (Injured: Transformed w/ Great Namek) = 9,000
Heizen (Injured: Transformed w/ Demon Heart) = 9,500
However, his rage was quickly dulled as the Red Namekian's aura began to swell; his size ever increasing as he had began over eight feet tall... and still growing. Was this... the Namekian's true power? His size, his power... Heizen could tell it was enormous compared to what it was before, as he soon towered over thirty feet tall. And this was when the Namekian had been damaged by his previous attack. This.. this is what he had come here for. "At last.... a challenger worthy of my might..." he grinned. Making sure his power was charged - the Jackal Demon prepared himself for the final battle. This would be the glorious start of his journey of the Earth. This would be his first battle as a free warrior Demon. He hoped it would be memorable. Heizen immediately rushed in for the first attack, but before he could even launch his fist he was slapped aside by the giant warrior's outstretched arm. The might of the incredible force launched him across the plains of the land into a nearby rock formation- crumbling the large rock into nothing from the impact. And he felt it, everywhere.
"That arm caught me by surprise. I did not know they could stretch their limbs... fascinating...," he thought to himself, as he began to stand from the impact with dust scattered all across his body and scratches littered all across. He would not make that mistake again. He stood in place, making his stance. With his right foot backward and his left one forward, Heizen buckled his knees and balanced his weight. His arms were raised bent at the level of his torso, and his hands crunched into tight fists. He needed to let the Namekian make the next move. And so Sirren did comply as he charged at the Demon with an outstretched fist, using his flexibility to his advantage as he tried to extend his reach ahead of time with a large, smashing punch. Heizen responded by grabbing the massive punch however, narrowly absorbing the impact as he did so.
He smiled as his Dark Blue aura shimmered, using every bit of strength he had to topple the giant behind him and flip him over. The Giant Namekian collapsed onto the ground as a tremor shook the very Plains itself. Panting heavily, Heizen couldn't help but be giddy at the success of the attempt despite its difficulty. This was a difficult match. Heizen was at a disadvantage due to the Namekian's size and reach, but the Namekian also had to deal with Heizen's mobility and slightly superior strength. It was going to be a close contest for sure between the two of them. The Namekian began to rise and stand once more, the large veins showing as ever. He was infuriated with Heizen. His eyes glowed as he began to fire a large laser at the Jackal in an attempt to obliterate him. Heizen extend a single hand forward in an attempt to block the beam and contain it in the palm of his hand. An explosion rang out once more as Heizen's hand contained the damage of the blast, leaving him with only part of the damage. "Overconfidence will be your downfall, Namekian," he scolded.
Heizen countered the attack with a Hellzone Wave, firing the blue energy wave towards the large target of the Namekian's torso. It would be difficult for him to evade, and so it was as it collided in a brilliant explosion of light. The Namekian groaned outward in pain, though it didn't damage him as much as Heizen would have thought. Clearly this form made him more durable as well, which was troublesome. Stretching out his arm in an attempt to grab him, Sirren grinned at the beginning of his counterattack. Heizen quickly shifted to the side. The only problem with those elongated arms was the limited control they had over them. The Namekian tried to shift the arm to extend and change direction, attemping to grab at him from behind. Knowing this, Heizen flew up in the air as an evasive maneuver. Seizing control of that limb and retracting it, the large Namekian then tried the other arm; raising it above his torso in the general direction of the jackal Demon as he outstretched it further to grab him. "Too predictable," he thought to himself as he charged forward in a barrel roll to avoid the incoming arm.
Flying toward Sirren- the Jackal Demon prepared his fist as he launched a powerful straight punch to the top of the Namekian's head. It was difficult to control those limbs and to control his own body - which is why the Namekian seemed to typically stay still as they focused on their stretching arms. The impact of the blow launched the Namekian back a few paces, causing him to tumble down as his arms returned to normal size letting out a cry of pain. "That strategy is all too predictable - it will not work on me," he calmly declared while crossing his arms floating in mid-air as the Namekian once again found himself getting back up. "Your power does not disappoint, however. Were it not for your size; this would prove to be all too troublesome..." he trailed off. "This is not over yet, Demon. I'm hardly throwing in the towel yet!" the Demon Clan Namekian declared. And so he figured. The Giant charged at him normally, as it appeared he had given up on his limb manipulation. With the Namek fighting him normally, Heizen knew the time had come for him to be careful.
The two collided their fists in a test of might, a shockwave ensuing as the two forces met in opposition. It seemed incredible that a man so much smaller than this giant could clash so well in a contest of strength. But warriors like Heizen and the many who seemed to live in Earth Realm and beyond: were capable of such logic-defying might. Heizen charged in flight as he tried to press forward, though his push to engage left him vulnerable to an attempted kick by the titanic foot of Sirren. The Jackal Demon flew around the incoming leg in an arc, getting behind the Giant as he outstretched his own leg in the form a powerful kick. The Giant, Red Namekian cried out in pain; though he did not tumble forward into the ground. Countering; Heizen found himself struck by a powerful giant elbow that launched him outward once more, with the Giant turning around to charge in his direction.
Launched back by the attack; Heizen soared no more than twenty meters before he stopped himself with the use of his ki. As an explosive charge of ki stopped his fall, it also collided into the approaching Giant, damaging him as it enveloped his entire body and causing him to tumble a few paces backward (though he did not fall). Sirren launched out another large fist, which Heizen merely stopped with his whole body, catching the attack with both of his arms stretched outward to cancel out the impact. Launching a second attack with a giant hook punch, Heizen was slammed again a good five meters from the impact. He hadn't anticipated the attack in time, as the right side of his body ached all over. God, he hated fighting giants. He wouldn't let it stop him though; and so he flew in with a streak of dark blue left from his flight as he extended both of his arms in front of him. The Giant Namekian tried to launch an attack to stop Heizen's advance yet again; swiping his massive fist downward in an attempt to smash the Demon into the ground. The Demon Warrior managed to arc around the giant fist, and drive his outstretched arms right into the throat of the beast. As his throat caved in, the Namekian's eyes bulged as an unspeakable pain shot through his body.
Another weakness to being so large: all the vulnerable spots of the body were just that much larger...
And boy was that the last straw. Realizing this wasn't getting anywhere... the Giant Namekian stood still as his ki began to swell. He was through with the Demon, he was through with this fight, he was through with everything. He was going to kill him. And he was going to do it with every ounce of his energy! Heizen was silent... couldn't tell what was going on, but it was apparent that the Namekian was charging all of his ki into something. "I can't let this go unanswered... I have to counter... with the Super Hellzone Wave again!" he thought to himself in panic. The Namekian was outputting all of his ki into one attack!
This was going to be the final attack that determined it all. Stretching out both of his hands, Heizen began charging the dark blue-energy wave in the form of a orb in front of his palms. His aura shimmering brightly and sweat rolling from the sides of his face... he knew this was going to be intense. This would determine the fate of the battle. Could he win? He'd have to find out... they had been so close in power thus far (his weighted clothing restriction not withstanding). The Giant Red Aura of the Namekian also shimmered, though in contrast it made Heizen's dark blue seem so weak due to his already massive size. The Plains soon lit up with the power of their auras as the finale was underway. With their techniques charged at their maximum, it seemed like it was the end. "DEMON WAVE CANNON!" Sirren shouted before firing an enormous wave of energy from his mouth. Heizen was quite surprised, but he wouldn't let himself be overtaken. Unlike his last attack... Heizen wasn't just using his power for this attack. By channeling the powers of the Demon Realm, of the Makyo Star itself... he was going to obliterate the Namek entirely!
"SUPER...HELLZONE WAVE!" he himself shouted in retort as he fired the enormous charged dark blue energy orb, the attack reverting into an enormous wave. The two waves collided into one another in the form of a beam struggle - though Sirren had not realized the difference between the two. While he had put all of his power into this beam...
Heizen had put more than everything into his...
The Namekian began to grunt as he felt the massive pressure. Heizen could tell by the look on his face thata he was worried. "Only reckoning awaits those who challenge me... This is the fate you cemented for yourself...," he lectured once again. It was quite a shame, for this man's strength could have been better used. He could have sworn loyalty. But the time for that had already passed. Though the Namekian had resisted his attempts for quite some time, eventually the red beam could not prevail. The brilliant blue light overtook the Red Namekian as a explosion rang out across the plain, a giant dust cloud forming in its wake. Heizen at the aftermath started falling to the ground, his energy all gone. With a thud his feet crashed into the ground, though it did not harm him much. He began walking slowly to the explosion site, as the dust settled. Making sure the state of his Demon Namekian, the Jackal Warrior searched with his eyes through the rubble.
Though he was defeated: Sirren would live another day. "Your packaging is most admirable... to believe you survived an attack from my full power. Our fight has concluded for now... but I will not let myself be challenged again without consequence. Farewell... Namekian."
With everything said: The Jackal Demon searched. He still had much of Earth Realm to explore.

Roofs had been destroyed, holes existed in walls, and the fields had been blasted in random spots. "Who among you is the leader of this establishment?" he asked, his head scanning from left to right. From what little remained of these inhabitants; it seemed only elderly, women, and children remained. From the crowd sowed an elderly man of about five feet six-inches tall. The top of his head was bald, with no hair save for the white mustache and goatee; he wore nothing on his torso but a black vest and long white pants.
The Jackal Demon was surprised that someone so feeble could be their leader. "Hello," he greeted though his tone bore little energy and emotion. The Jackal Demon looked down at the tiny human, for he was much taller. "Hello, traveler," the elderly man stated plainly in retort. The man looked at him with a strange sense of familiarity. As if they had met before. "So what can you tell me about this village? Why is it damaged so?" the Jackal asked, his head nocked to his left shoulder as he asked. His red eyes staring at the man as he determined his worth in judgement. "A monster has plagued this village for some time. The village has been raided by he and his followers numerous times, and our men have been killed with each attack. If the monster is to return with his band we shall all perish," the Elder bluntly explained.
Heizen's ears perked straight up at the mention of this. A monster? That sounded intriguing. "A monster, you say?" he inquired further. He couldn't hide the smile on his face. Perhaps this would lift his bad mood. The Elder looked at him with a raised eyebrow, as if he was confused with the Jackal Demon's behavior. He nodded in response, not sure what it mattered to a visitor like him.
Heizen crossed his arms. "I'll take care of this beast for you, if you'd like. It sounds like fun," he offered with that smile of his still unextinguished. They could tell this was not out of the goodness of his heart, but merely a whim to their convenience. The elder said nothing, instead lifting his hand and pointing westward. "Somewhere in that direction you will find the Clan you seek. I pray for your success, strange traveler." That was the man's response. Taking it into account Heizen charged his energy- an aura swirling around him in a midnight blue before flying off in a burst of speed, a streak of that blue energy left behind as he flew.

Though his ancestors had long before him gained the ability to sense energy signatures during their time on Planet Earth, he himself had not inherited the ability. Perhaps that would be something he focused on another time. "Perhaps what I'm looking for isn't out in the open. This planet has caves, does it not? Perhaps it's hiding in such a place. Would make sense given that they were being hunted before by these humans...," he analyzed in the recluse of his thoughts. He ran out searching for his prey on foot. Though he had no way of sensing his target, he still had two functioning eyeballs...
Finally after yet another half hour of snooping he discovered a recently disturbed cave. Perhaps this bunch had been in a recent quarrel? The cave was marked for suspicion as an energy wave had clearly been blasted through the side of the giant rock that the cave's foundation was made of. Clearly one of the monsters he was to deal with was hot-tempered to have caused such senseless destruction. The Jackal Demon readied himself as he made a slow, casual stroll on inside. He was glad his aura would allow him to see, for he hated being in the dark. "Hello?" he called out into the void. The call echoed all throughout the long, dark cave, resonating in the darkness. His ears remained focused and attentive as he listened in. All he could he hear in the darkness beyond- was the sound of snickering laughter. From what he could make out of their voices, some of them being rather high-pitch and young-sounding, while one of them held a much lower tone. Judging by the echos and the different pitches- he had a variety of people to deal with. This was definitely the group he had been searching for.
His slow calm walk turned into a sprint as he ran at high speed through the cavern, ready to face this challenge head on.
As he ran and time began to pass by him he found himself reaching the depths of the cave. he began to notice a dim light in the cave, as if there were lanterns or some other device up ahead illuminating the darkness. Well at least this meant he didn't have to blow the whole damn thing up. Finally he came face to face with the group of monsters, though sufficed to say he was not expecting this. Green, strange-looking creatures of various shapes and sizes. They... were they namekians? No, they couldn't be. He had heard of Namekians as being the peaceful types, and these hardly looked like any of the Namekians he had heard of in the stories...

Heizen stared rather... puzzled at the individuals in front of him. There were at least seven of the grunts in front of him, the two more intimidating guards behind them guarding the leader, and the taller leader in the far back sitting against the wall napping. All of them had red pigmented skin with green spots on their arms (kind of like the inverse of normal Namekians now that he thought about it). The grunts all he horns of various lengths, shapes, and sizes pointing either upward or downward. The stocky one in the front had what looked like a.. bone arm while the other had a similar contraption on the other arm. What in blazes even were these creatures? "I have not been on this planet for long.. but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to meet something so... disgusting. What strange creatures to walk this plane..." he rudely asked rather confidently while scratching the top of his head. His tone was rather calm and passive. Though it was eleven people against one... he still found himself rather composed.
They stared at him silently as he continued to banter, some of their heads leaning toward their left and right shoulders. "Is it the dinosaur's job to crush rodents, I wonder? Though your deeds... disrupt my birthright. Today is your end!" The last declaration being a loud shout, they all seemed alarmed by him. It was as if they couldn't understand his language even though he was speaking in the all-encompassing language of this universe. Perhaps they couldn't speak any languages at all. They didn't seem all that intelligent. His shouting however appeared to wake the tall red guy in the back. He was on equal height with the Jackal himself, and clearly a a real warrior as well judging from his build. He was the only one who seemed even remotely Namekian-like, though his skin like the others was of a different hue.
He stared at Heizen with an annoyed brow, as he was so obviously disturbed by the loss of his nap. "You moron, are you really so primitive to think you can barge into MY lair with such disrespect? I will bury you in the dirt of this cave...," he chided annoyed. Heizen crossed his arms at the threat, not entirely impressed with the man. "Boasting is for the powerful. You possess no such right," he challenged with a wide, cocky grin. Without any warning, the first wave of mindless mutants charged onward at their master's command. It was obvious that the Red Monster had some form of telepathy to command these creatures silently and discreetly. Unfortunately it mattered not. As the five of the grunts all charged him at once, he disappeared with a blink of an eye as he disappeared from their sight entirely. With his vast speed he appeared behind the one in the far back, surprising him as he latched onto the man's head and snapped his neck effortlessly. Not knowing if these things could regenerate, it at the very least would incapacitate it long enough to take of the others. Turning right on around to target him once more, Heizen's grin grew as they all rushed him one at a time.
Side-step he did to the first guy who came charging in a straight line with a punch. Intercept with a frontal kick he did to the guy who tried to do the same right after. Duck and then grab the next two guys by the throats he did when they daringly tried to flank him from both sides. Spinning and throwing the two into the final approaching grunt, Heizen was sure their assault was totally worthless. He could see the grunts did nothing to pose a challenge to him, and so they were disintegrated instantly as he unleashed his power. His dark blue ki overwhelmed them with a mighty shout as he released an explosive surge of ki, erasing the lowly beings from the face of this pathetic cave. The demonic Namekian looked at him with awe and terror as the explosion erased his children with ease. From what Heizen could tell, he was realizing that he had underestimated the demon's power.
Focusing on Heizen for a moment it appeared he was scanning him. Could he sense Power Levels? If he truly was Namekian, the demon supposed it made sense. It was an innate power of their people usually. Preparing himself, he knew the remaining three were the real warriors. And now that they had seen his strength - they would not hold back. The two guards, named "Bongo" and "Vio" standing side by side in front of the Red Namekian made glances toward each other, affirming their strategy. They would all need to attack together to stand the best chance of defeating this fearsome foe. "Defeat is inevitable for you. Will you not surrender?" he asked. Part of him had been searching for a challenge, but these imbeciles hadn't proven themselves worthy of his effort. If they were to surrender to him now he would show them mercy. After all, he hadn't come here on a righteous crusade.
If they were to work under him, then why not spare their lives? A silence formed following his question, as they did not care to communicate with him. The only one who could was the Namekian, who scoffed. "You might be tougher than I thought, dog, but you cannot beat all three of us!" he so declared. Heizen smiled. All three of them began charging yellow energy waves in the palms of their hands, leading Heizen to stretch out both of his arms in charging an energy wave attack of his own. If they wanted to play, then he would play. "Super Hellzone Wave...." so called the Demon as the dark blue energy swirled and grew in the palms of his hands. The three monsters all merged their energy beams into a larger red wave, as Heizen fired his Super Hellzone Wave at the same time. The red and blue beams crashed into each other in the confines of the cave, but even their combined might wasn't enough to combat his energy attack. The blue beam quickly began to overpower them.
"PUT IN MORE!" the Namekian cried to his children. Pumping more energy into their blast they began to overpower Heizen, but he in turn followed suit and overpowered them once again. An explosion rang out as the Namekian tanked his attack, absorbing the damage, the mighty cave exploding out from all around them and destroying the large rock foundation that had formed it. It wasn't enough to completely vaporize him, but Heizen could tell that it would damaged him somewhat. A large cloud of dust rang out from the violent destruction of the cave, a silence continuing as their leader was probably recovering.
Heizen admittedly hadn't expected them to be this good. Individually they were garbage compared to him, but when they pooled their efforts together... they could get the drop on him. He had to be vigilant. One of the children, the large one named Bongo fired a burst volley of energy blasts at him rapidly. Heizen was still recovering from the clash, so he had no choice but to absorb the impact of the attacks. He prepared himself, knowing this was about to hurt. The beams of energy collided directly into him, inflicting blunt damage into his hard shell, the Jackal Demon crying out in pain. It sent him flying back, where Vio appeared and sledgehammered him into the ground.
Colliding hard into the ground, Heizen's body ached as he went head-first. A small crater rose in the damaged cave. They weren't very strong, but they were chipping away at him. And this damned weights weren't making things any easier. "If it weren't for these damn weights, I'd have crushed them by now," he cursed to himself. Heizen knew that situations like this were why he was supposed to wear them. Wearing these weights would allow his body to grow and evolve easier by putting more pressure on him. But it still kind of sucked. The two came flying down towards him to continue their assault. Having regained some of his composure however- he was ready to kick things back up. And with their master still recovering from getting blown up the way he had - this wouldn't take him long. Heizen's ki soared as he unleashed his maximum power to end this quick.
Bongo was the first to try his hand as he charged in with a straight punch, though Heizen caught the arm. With his stamina returned he countered the pathetic attack with a frontal kick that knocked him right into Vio who had been following right after him. The two knocked back into the air. Heizen charged on after them, disappearing from their view as he got behind them. Heizen's target was Bongo, the one who had so annoyingly blasted him with that volley before. He never even saw it coming...
Heizen appeared behind him and smashed his fist into the man's back, causing the Namekian Spawn to cry out in pain. This was his payback, and it would cost the man his life. Following up with a rising knee to the back of the head Bongo felt himself launched high up into the air, the light from his eyes faded as the impact knocked him out. The Jackal Demon didn't stop there however, and disappearing in front of the unconscious, knocked back demon he launched a final punch that had enough power to tear itself right into the man's heart. "Feel The Jackal's Wrath... for my bite is worse than my bark...," he said amused. Vio looked on devastated as his brother was destroyed. Though he could form no words. He let out a battle cry at the Jackal in his rage...
"NYAAAAAA!" he so elegantly cried out. Heizen looked on with a lack of empathy as he stared at him in his rage. The red, short Namekian spawn fired a purple energy that appeared to be much stronger than the attack that he had used previously. Heizen merely smiled however as he sidestepped the blast with ease, an explosion ringing out behind him. That attack was something else... but Heizen was in a whole other level. If only everyone on this planet could be as weak as these fools, then he'd have the Earth under his rule in a week. "Hellzone Wave!" he cried out as he fired a dark blue energy wave toward the creature. Having run out of energy - the creature could do nothing as he swallowed whole into oblivion. In his full power - these Namekian mutations were nothing to him. He almost wished he had done this from the get-go. It was time for him to leave. "Death is a harsh mistress... and tonight you warm her bed," he softly spoke as he began to walk away. To him it was over....
But he didn't see the energy wave coming at him from behind.
A red explosion ensued as the Demon found himself blind-sided by the Red Namekian. "What!?" he thought to himself in his confusion. Little did he know that Sirren had not yet fallen. Veins protruded from his red forehead as his anger with Heizen seemed to have swelled. The Jackal Demon forgot that his previous energy wave had done nothing but injure the creature. "You... imbecile... you killed... all of my children!" he growled with a raised fist. Heizen turned around. He was clearly annoyed. "And you might have been lucky and gotten off free. But now: I will feast on your entrails..." he growled back, his threat sincere.
Sirren (Injured: Transformed w/ Great Namek) = 9,000
Heizen (Injured: Transformed w/ Demon Heart) = 9,500
However, his rage was quickly dulled as the Red Namekian's aura began to swell; his size ever increasing as he had began over eight feet tall... and still growing. Was this... the Namekian's true power? His size, his power... Heizen could tell it was enormous compared to what it was before, as he soon towered over thirty feet tall. And this was when the Namekian had been damaged by his previous attack. This.. this is what he had come here for. "At last.... a challenger worthy of my might..." he grinned. Making sure his power was charged - the Jackal Demon prepared himself for the final battle. This would be the glorious start of his journey of the Earth. This would be his first battle as a free warrior Demon. He hoped it would be memorable. Heizen immediately rushed in for the first attack, but before he could even launch his fist he was slapped aside by the giant warrior's outstretched arm. The might of the incredible force launched him across the plains of the land into a nearby rock formation- crumbling the large rock into nothing from the impact. And he felt it, everywhere.
"That arm caught me by surprise. I did not know they could stretch their limbs... fascinating...," he thought to himself, as he began to stand from the impact with dust scattered all across his body and scratches littered all across. He would not make that mistake again. He stood in place, making his stance. With his right foot backward and his left one forward, Heizen buckled his knees and balanced his weight. His arms were raised bent at the level of his torso, and his hands crunched into tight fists. He needed to let the Namekian make the next move. And so Sirren did comply as he charged at the Demon with an outstretched fist, using his flexibility to his advantage as he tried to extend his reach ahead of time with a large, smashing punch. Heizen responded by grabbing the massive punch however, narrowly absorbing the impact as he did so.
He smiled as his Dark Blue aura shimmered, using every bit of strength he had to topple the giant behind him and flip him over. The Giant Namekian collapsed onto the ground as a tremor shook the very Plains itself. Panting heavily, Heizen couldn't help but be giddy at the success of the attempt despite its difficulty. This was a difficult match. Heizen was at a disadvantage due to the Namekian's size and reach, but the Namekian also had to deal with Heizen's mobility and slightly superior strength. It was going to be a close contest for sure between the two of them. The Namekian began to rise and stand once more, the large veins showing as ever. He was infuriated with Heizen. His eyes glowed as he began to fire a large laser at the Jackal in an attempt to obliterate him. Heizen extend a single hand forward in an attempt to block the beam and contain it in the palm of his hand. An explosion rang out once more as Heizen's hand contained the damage of the blast, leaving him with only part of the damage. "Overconfidence will be your downfall, Namekian," he scolded.
Heizen countered the attack with a Hellzone Wave, firing the blue energy wave towards the large target of the Namekian's torso. It would be difficult for him to evade, and so it was as it collided in a brilliant explosion of light. The Namekian groaned outward in pain, though it didn't damage him as much as Heizen would have thought. Clearly this form made him more durable as well, which was troublesome. Stretching out his arm in an attempt to grab him, Sirren grinned at the beginning of his counterattack. Heizen quickly shifted to the side. The only problem with those elongated arms was the limited control they had over them. The Namekian tried to shift the arm to extend and change direction, attemping to grab at him from behind. Knowing this, Heizen flew up in the air as an evasive maneuver. Seizing control of that limb and retracting it, the large Namekian then tried the other arm; raising it above his torso in the general direction of the jackal Demon as he outstretched it further to grab him. "Too predictable," he thought to himself as he charged forward in a barrel roll to avoid the incoming arm.
Flying toward Sirren- the Jackal Demon prepared his fist as he launched a powerful straight punch to the top of the Namekian's head. It was difficult to control those limbs and to control his own body - which is why the Namekian seemed to typically stay still as they focused on their stretching arms. The impact of the blow launched the Namekian back a few paces, causing him to tumble down as his arms returned to normal size letting out a cry of pain. "That strategy is all too predictable - it will not work on me," he calmly declared while crossing his arms floating in mid-air as the Namekian once again found himself getting back up. "Your power does not disappoint, however. Were it not for your size; this would prove to be all too troublesome..." he trailed off. "This is not over yet, Demon. I'm hardly throwing in the towel yet!" the Demon Clan Namekian declared. And so he figured. The Giant charged at him normally, as it appeared he had given up on his limb manipulation. With the Namek fighting him normally, Heizen knew the time had come for him to be careful.
The two collided their fists in a test of might, a shockwave ensuing as the two forces met in opposition. It seemed incredible that a man so much smaller than this giant could clash so well in a contest of strength. But warriors like Heizen and the many who seemed to live in Earth Realm and beyond: were capable of such logic-defying might. Heizen charged in flight as he tried to press forward, though his push to engage left him vulnerable to an attempted kick by the titanic foot of Sirren. The Jackal Demon flew around the incoming leg in an arc, getting behind the Giant as he outstretched his own leg in the form a powerful kick. The Giant, Red Namekian cried out in pain; though he did not tumble forward into the ground. Countering; Heizen found himself struck by a powerful giant elbow that launched him outward once more, with the Giant turning around to charge in his direction.
Launched back by the attack; Heizen soared no more than twenty meters before he stopped himself with the use of his ki. As an explosive charge of ki stopped his fall, it also collided into the approaching Giant, damaging him as it enveloped his entire body and causing him to tumble a few paces backward (though he did not fall). Sirren launched out another large fist, which Heizen merely stopped with his whole body, catching the attack with both of his arms stretched outward to cancel out the impact. Launching a second attack with a giant hook punch, Heizen was slammed again a good five meters from the impact. He hadn't anticipated the attack in time, as the right side of his body ached all over. God, he hated fighting giants. He wouldn't let it stop him though; and so he flew in with a streak of dark blue left from his flight as he extended both of his arms in front of him. The Giant Namekian tried to launch an attack to stop Heizen's advance yet again; swiping his massive fist downward in an attempt to smash the Demon into the ground. The Demon Warrior managed to arc around the giant fist, and drive his outstretched arms right into the throat of the beast. As his throat caved in, the Namekian's eyes bulged as an unspeakable pain shot through his body.
Another weakness to being so large: all the vulnerable spots of the body were just that much larger...
And boy was that the last straw. Realizing this wasn't getting anywhere... the Giant Namekian stood still as his ki began to swell. He was through with the Demon, he was through with this fight, he was through with everything. He was going to kill him. And he was going to do it with every ounce of his energy! Heizen was silent... couldn't tell what was going on, but it was apparent that the Namekian was charging all of his ki into something. "I can't let this go unanswered... I have to counter... with the Super Hellzone Wave again!" he thought to himself in panic. The Namekian was outputting all of his ki into one attack!
This was going to be the final attack that determined it all. Stretching out both of his hands, Heizen began charging the dark blue-energy wave in the form of a orb in front of his palms. His aura shimmering brightly and sweat rolling from the sides of his face... he knew this was going to be intense. This would determine the fate of the battle. Could he win? He'd have to find out... they had been so close in power thus far (his weighted clothing restriction not withstanding). The Giant Red Aura of the Namekian also shimmered, though in contrast it made Heizen's dark blue seem so weak due to his already massive size. The Plains soon lit up with the power of their auras as the finale was underway. With their techniques charged at their maximum, it seemed like it was the end. "DEMON WAVE CANNON!" Sirren shouted before firing an enormous wave of energy from his mouth. Heizen was quite surprised, but he wouldn't let himself be overtaken. Unlike his last attack... Heizen wasn't just using his power for this attack. By channeling the powers of the Demon Realm, of the Makyo Star itself... he was going to obliterate the Namek entirely!
"SUPER...HELLZONE WAVE!" he himself shouted in retort as he fired the enormous charged dark blue energy orb, the attack reverting into an enormous wave. The two waves collided into one another in the form of a beam struggle - though Sirren had not realized the difference between the two. While he had put all of his power into this beam...
Heizen had put more than everything into his...
The Namekian began to grunt as he felt the massive pressure. Heizen could tell by the look on his face thata he was worried. "Only reckoning awaits those who challenge me... This is the fate you cemented for yourself...," he lectured once again. It was quite a shame, for this man's strength could have been better used. He could have sworn loyalty. But the time for that had already passed. Though the Namekian had resisted his attempts for quite some time, eventually the red beam could not prevail. The brilliant blue light overtook the Red Namekian as a explosion rang out across the plain, a giant dust cloud forming in its wake. Heizen at the aftermath started falling to the ground, his energy all gone. With a thud his feet crashed into the ground, though it did not harm him much. He began walking slowly to the explosion site, as the dust settled. Making sure the state of his Demon Namekian, the Jackal Warrior searched with his eyes through the rubble.
Though he was defeated: Sirren would live another day. "Your packaging is most admirable... to believe you survived an attack from my full power. Our fight has concluded for now... but I will not let myself be challenged again without consequence. Farewell... Namekian."
With everything said: The Jackal Demon searched. He still had much of Earth Realm to explore.
