Ki rained down from above, sparking and shattering around Rhuba as he broke the sound barrier. His his eyes stung, sore from the tears that hadn't stopped since the moment they had started. He tried his best, but he couldn't stop the vivid replays in his head. Every replay, more tears, more rage. Parasitix had to be on constant watch, hoping that power never showed itself again. Each time Rhuba began to think about Pom, Parasitix could feel that energy begin to bubble around inside Rhuba, and he would rush to seal the power from fully releasing. Though as he cried, the sheer force of his speed would pull the tears right off his face.
Above a little diner in a little village, a red streak crossed the sky quickly. An older gentleman steps out of the diner, turning the sign around at the front from open to closed. A drop of liquid hits the side of his cheek as a mild gust of wind pushes against him. The man briefly catches himself, and wiped the warm liquid. "Oh, must be rain." The man finished locking up the diner, looking up at the red streak in the sky. "A shooting star, eh?" Thinking for a moment, the man smiled. "I hope that young man's doing okay." The old man had picked up talking to himself after the death of his family, no longer able to have those late night conversations with his daughter has he locked up the diner.
Rhuba dipped down low into the ground, losing his concentration and dropping altitude. Unfortunately for West City, he had done this at the shop district. Windows snapped under the pressure of the force that zipped past the streets. Earthlings were sent flying, as the shards of glass littered the streets.
Don't Thread On Me's sign fell on unaware Earthlings below, the shockwave of Rhuba moving at supersonic speeds through the city enough to send objects flying at dangerous speeds. An inconspicuous jewelry store unfortunately took the most damage, Rhuba turned into it unknowingly and slammed through the front wall. The stalls filled with once ogled at jewelry ripped apart, the wood, and glass splintering and shattering upon meeting the rage filled bullet that is Rhuba. The Saiyan, still in his emotional rage-filled stupor slammed into the right wall of the building, and exited stage right of the store. The jostling the building had caused him had the fortunate effect of sending him back on track. Rhuba would adjust his flying and pick up speed once more, everything around him a hazy blur, the only thing on his mind was who was at his destination.
A shockwave, and a loud crack pierced the ears of the overnight workers in the manor. Following the loud crack from the sky an explosive force of wind snapped past Rhuba's manor. Below on the grounds employees looked up to see a flaming streak high above. The speed at which it flew through the sky shocked them, a few moments later after the small gust of wind swept across the manor, catching a few employees off guard. In front of the dark and empty guest house, the now wilting flowers bent in the wind from the gust, the already wilted flowers snapped at the stem and toppled over on each other, only a few flowers now standing in the garden, those too doomed to wilt away with the ritual never completed.
Not just lost in thought, but now lost on Earth. Where am I?! WHERE IS MAXSUZ!? Once Parasitix had told him where to go, he headed in that direction again. His head swarmed with negativity, it was rare for him to act like this, another first Parasitix and Pom had thrusted upon him. Rhuba had never cared about death, at least not that he had remembered. Now that Pom's energy no longer existed, at least to his knowledge, just the thought sent him further into the entrapment that is despair. Parasitix still worked double time to stop Rhuba from unlocking that mysterious power that hurt him, sealing up all the cracks that leaked on his plug as Rhuba's mind raced in agony.
Rhuba's shooting star now flew above an island, a massive jungle the size of a modern city lay below. Below on the island, a curious small dinosaur who had finally finished off the last bits of a much larger dinosaur that they had scavenged from days ago made it's way to the outside jungle clearing, a sparkle in the moonlight catching it's eye. It slowly crept toward the shiny object, the curiosity of the dinosaur on display, as it slowly reached it's long beak out and poked the car. Rhuba's gift to Pom, a flying car with auto pilot, now possibly forever abandoned to time.
The dinosaur climbed unto the shiny car, and into the passenger seat. It pecked at things with it's long beak, the dashboard, breaking a few pieces of the dashboard, the front dashboard broke apart and the passenger glovebox shot open. That spooked the dinosaur, the sudden sound of the glovebox slamming against the dashboard as it opened sent the dinosaur into a panic. It slashed deep into the Arcosian leather Rhuba had paid who knows how much to get upholstered. Finally kicking free of the vehicle, the bird toppled over the door and sprinted back into the large expanse of trees that comprised the jungle. A little imp peered up through the dirt from the center of the jungle, through the clearing above he could see the streak in the sky. The imp laughed loudly a few times, before returning to what it had been doing, the Saiyan was of little concern to him now.
Maxsuz's energy was finally something he could sense. Maxsuz was not able to run away this time, no, not again. Rhuba would never stop chasing him, not the man that had caused the death of the only person he had truly cared about, not until Rhuba or Maxsuz was no more.
Rhuba didn't see the ground, nor the ice. Slamming headfirst into the ground, he pierced it with ease. Rhuba's energy bounced around chaotically, the sheer force of his speed cutting into the ice and Earth. Hitting sections of the Orchestra's hideout, every tunnel he pierced through on his way down collapsed, likely to kill any normal person caught in the cave-ins. Maxsuz's energy was getting closer, Rhuba's eyes still stung, still sore, but no longer would give away the Saiyans emotional state, or lack of control on his emotional state. Rhuba's left eye was bloodshot, the scream that almost tore out his lungs after Pom's supposed death the catalyst. The popped blood vessel had leaked slowly, it's full effects only now visible, the sclera of his eye overtaken by a crimson red swirling around his black iris.
Rhuba's feet slammed down hard on the concrete floor just outside of Maxsuz's chambers. Likely the alarms would start blaring any moment, perhaps they already were. Rhuba couldn't hear it, or perhaps he couldn't hear anything? The tunnels he had destroyed above him shook the entire hideout as they all began to collapse. Usually in these scenarios Rhuba would do some posturing or banter, but even if he had wanted to talk to Maxsuz, he didn't have the capacity at the moment.
Parasitix started to regret his plan, as the power from earlier slowly boiled around inside Rhuba, his irises both flashed a deep blue as he rushed forward through the wall that separated the energy. Though he had deliberated for a brief moment, starting from the ground level of the hideout, this would have all likely taken place in seconds. Rhuba's silence finally broken, as a low guttural released from the Saiyan's mouth, pure pain and agony accompanying the Saiyan's destructive entrance. The moment he was in the same room as Maxsuz, he would waste no time and aim to tackle Maxsuz in one swift motion, aiming to slam the man through the wall adjacent his entrance. One might think he did this tactfully to try and hold him down in the surprise attack, in reality, Rhuba was moving on pure instinct and rage, hadn't even entered his Wrathful state, still trying to tap into the golden energy he could sometimes feel bubbling inside.
