Some of the decoys kept their distance as they realized their ki blasts were not doing their distraction job. One of the decoys, however, moved in, trying to draw Kane's attention. Shadic tried to get Reku, but as he neared he realized his decoys were not doing what he wanted them to be doing. To confirm his realization, Kane moved his arm towards the hybrid.
'Welp, time to see just how strong this guy is,' Shadic thought as he went to block the incoming backhand with both of his hands, flinging the bean into the air in the process. The decoy who was, originally, going to grab one of Kane's arms instead flew towards the loose bean. They needed to get that bean to Reku if they 'wanted any chance of victory.' The other decoys did not just sit around twiddling their thumbs, either. They all flew and hid, ready to be used at a moments notice
While Shadic blocked the backhand and the brave decoys saved the sensu, Azuki sat back and aimed her open palm at Kane. She started charging her fireball attack, which was essentially Big Bang Attack with fire. She was not going to sit idly by as Shadic and Reku had all the fun.
After Kane had the others out of the way, he continued to continuously beat on Reku once more. Reku had no energy to transform, and now he was stuck. He felt multiple cracks followed by spikes of immense pain as the bones in his forearms began to fail him. He was thankful for Shadic’s attempt, but it wasn’t any use. He assumed that clone technique he used was the multi-form technique, but something was off about it. Reku thought it would be helpful to tell them that as far as he knew, Kane can’t feel pain. Anything they’d do, even if it basically ripped out his insides, wouldn’t be felt by him. However, he couldn’t even get a change the speak as his right arm was blown back, finally giving out, and a punch snuck through the open space, slamming Reku so hard in the face that his head duck into the ground he played on, making a crater.
Shadic was confused to see Kane just go back to punching Reku after getting blocked. The hybrid looked down at his body to see if he was dreaming or a ghost or something. "Am I invisible to this guy or what?"
He readied himself before swinging a punt kick towards Kane's ribs and gut, mostly with the intent to create space between the beast and Reku long enough to deliver the sensu. Considering that Shadic ((93,000*4 = 370,000)) thought himself to be stronger than Kane ((180,000*2 = 360,000)), he figured he could pull it off.
Azuki continued charging her fireball. The delivery decoy sort of just floated there, waiting for his opening. This fight seemed quite onesided but because Kane was so focused on Reku, it was more of a 1v1 than a 3v1.
Kane continued punching Reku in face over and over. With blood splattered all over the ground as Reku's jaw felt more dislocated with each and every punch. His face beginning to look disfigured as his face was beginning to swell and bruise. He was barely conscious as his pupils were almost completely gone, showing only the whites of his eyes, showing the amount of damage he took.
As Kane was about to land the finishing blow, he felt a powerful kick land on his body, carrying the momentum required to throw him off. Kane's hands and feet slid on the ground before it stopped itself. Kane stood up slowly, anger fueling him as he looked straight at the man who interfered. "I told you to stay out of my way. Now you'll pay the price." He said before dashing at Shadic at full speed, throwing a barrage of punches and kicks at him before uppercuttinf him into the air.
Shadic was glad to see his efforts were finally effective. Kane was slightly pushed away from Reku, but his attention shifted from the nearly dead hybrid to the fully healthy one. Shadic figured he'd introduce himself, somewhat, now that he was not being ignored, "I said this over there," Shadic pointed over towards Azuki before continuing, "but you must have misheard me in your efforts to kill Reku. If you wanna get him, you gotta get through me,because that's my ninja way!" He was forced to stop as Kane started, no, attempted his onslaught. The saiyan brute, while powerful, was not yet transformed. 180k trying to pound on 370k was not going to go over so well.
Shadic easily managed to block all of the hits Kane tried. "I'm Shadic, probably one of the strongest people walking on this planet right now. I don't mean to brag or anything (because bragging is rude), I just thought you'd like to know that." To respond to Kane's assault, Shadic tried to send his elbow into the brute's chest, directly into his sternum. "And you are?"
As Shadic and Kane had their little scuffle, the delivery decoy landed next to Reku. "Your friendly neighborhood, uh, Shadic here with a delivery for a Mr. Reku." He crouched down, revealing the sensu bean he was tasked with delivering. "Now we can do this one of two ways. Either I can eat it and spit it into your mouth, momma bird style, or you can ingest it yourself. If you're too hurt I recommend option number one." Decoy Shadic acted in the exact same manners as the real one.
Azuki stayed back, charging her fireball. She was just about ready to fire it ((next turn)) at Kane.

Reku couldn’t talk, his jaw basically all over the place, but he damn sure wasn’t about to screw over his dignity over a senzu bean. He snatched the beam out of the clone’s hand and “finessed” it into his mouth. He forced himself to swallow it whole, unable to chew due to his jaw line. In an extremely uncomfortable instant everything was shifted back into place and his body instantly healed. He took a massive gasp of air and sat up, looking around before spotting Shadic fighting it, and fairing pretty well. Though now that he thought about it, being called a coward didn’t sit right with him.
He looked up at Azuki, who was in the air charging some sort of attack. He looked at her straight in the eyes with a piercing glare as he exploded into Super Saiyan Umbra. No one has ever seen him in this form before, and sometimes he creeped himself out. His black aura flared into place as he turned to Shadic and Kane. He could not let that thing transform.
As Kane was pushed back considerably from Shadic’s attack, a wound being left there, it didn’t seem like he noticed that he was injured. He just looked at his opponent with the look of a killer before dashing towards him once more, but before he could reach him Reku came in and speared him in the side before continuing to push him until they both crashed into a rock formation.
Shadic got in his fighting stance as Kane started approaching once again, but before the threat could reach the hybrid he was tackled by none other than Reku? Shadic looked over to where the defeated man was laying and, sure enough, he was gone. The clone stood back up and wiped his hands together, signaling that he had done his job. Shadic gave his decoy a thumbs up, "Good job! I like your style!"
The decoy beamed back at Shadic before responding, "Hey man, you keep doin' what you're doin' and I'll keep getting things done for ya. It takes a team."
Shadic sighed a sigh of relief before thinking, 'What were we doing again?' He looked over to Reku and Kane before remembering, 'Oh yeah, fighting that guy.' He was about to fly off and help Reku when he saw Azuki taking aim at Kane.
'If she fires that, there will be a lot of collateral damage, and I don't think Reku will...' That is when Shadic noticed Reku's new transformation. Something seemed different about it, aside from the appearance. His energy, his attitude, it was almost dark. Was this the same Reku he'd known for all these years? What really happened over the past few months or years?
Either way, he could not allow her to fire off that fireball, so he cupped his hands and shouted, "AZUKI! STOP!"
Azuki glanced over at Shadic as she continued charging before yelling back, "I know, I know! Just get me a clear shot!" Then she mumbled under her breath, "But it is really tempting to hit him anyways. Little payback never hurt anybody."
Shadic was not sure how to approach the battle before him. This Reku looked like he had it under control, but if he had it under control they would not be in this situation in the first place. He beckoned over the delivery decoy and conjured up a plan before they swapped spots. Now, Shadic stood near Reku's crater while the decoy overlooked the actual battle going on. Now they just needed an opening...
While his friends needed an opening, Reku was not giving them one. He was fueled with rage, more than usual. In this form, he felt like he had all the power in the world, and it felt very, very good. Azuki’s comment echoed inside his head, making him more ferocious. It was now Reku that was the one repeatedly smashing Kane’s face in. The creation tried to respond by punching him in the face, but the half-saiyan’s power had grown too much and it barely did any damage. When it got up, Reku sparta kicked his chest, forcing it back into the crater. He went on it again, he throwing punches left and right, screaming in absolute rage as he did so. He refused to let it transform, to let it, or anyone else for that matter, humiliate him again.
The next punch Reku landed felt as if he smashed through bone and flesh. However, to Reku’s surprise, the creation’s power was beginning to grow. Since it couldn’t feel pain, it had no problem transforming. The half-saiyan noticed this, and jumped back. “NO. I REFUSE!” He exclaimed, throwing his hands forward and unleashing a volley of ki blasts repeatedly, digging deeper into his emotions and bringing out the rage.
Decoy Shadic pointed at Reku absolutely going in on Kane in a confused manner. The real Shadic looked and was just as confused. He knew Reku got mad, but this was a lot different. This was pure hatred, something much worse than being just a little angry. But how? Shadic had never seen Kane before in his life; a being this powerful would have caught his attention more times than not if it had been around long enough to push Reku to this point.
Azuki, too, noticed the hatred radiating off Reku. She curiously voiced a question towards Shadic and his decoys, "Hey, uh, lightning rod? What's his problem right now?"
Almost immediately, Shadic responded, "I don't know, but whatever is going on probably isn't good. I've never seen anybody like this."
Azuki grabbed her wrist with her other hand, as her fireball continued charging. "Well can ya get him outta the way so I can let this go? It's getting pretty hard to contain."
Shadic wanted an opening, too. He didn't like standing around waiting, but considering the way Reku was acting, he did not want to get in his way. They just needed to wait.
Reku was still blasting away, feeling Kane’s power level still rising, his body becoming big enough that it was showing through the smoke. ‘Dammit. DAMMIT.’ He thought, hating himself, hating Azuki, hating this monster. He wanted it all to just disappear. His life’s been so screwed up so far and now it’s getting even worth. How much longer would he have to endure this before things got better? He still wasn’t strong enough and he’s become one of those powerful beings on the planet. Reku flared up his. now black, aura once more. “I WILL DESTROY YOU.” He yelled, a red ball of ki appearing in his hands as he charged what he wanted to be his final attack.
