As the echoes of "Ginger Town" faded behind him, Shinji shot eastward, a blur against the sky, his speed a desperate race against time. Even from high above, the air grew thick with a stench that clawed at his throat – a nauseating cocktail of burning flesh and decay, a grim promise of what lay ahead. Below, East City was a raging inferno, a landscape devoured by fire. And there, at the epicenter of this devastation, stood another Valtraxion, its form silhouetted against the towering flames. Shinji, was unusually silent in the upper atmosphere, surveying the horror from his undetected perch. The Valtraxian loomed within a colossal crater, a gaping maw in the earth, not empty but filled with a ghastly tapestry of charred remains. The sight alone was enough to churn his stomach, but the putrid, metallic scent that wafted up, even at this altitude, was truly foul, causing his nose to involuntarily wrinkle in profound disgust.
"The hell is going on"
An idea clicked in his head.
However, before he could react, he noticed a familiar ki signature
"Rutabaga... why is he still here?"
Shinji's gaze was locked on the boy, a knot tightening in his gut as Rutaba descended into the crater, seemingly oblivious to the lurking danger. The Valtraxian, a hulking shadow, remained unseen by the young Saiyan. With a sharp intake of breath, Shinji unleashed a subtle, almost ethereal flicker of feint blue ki, a deliberate, calculated pulse designed to snatch the beast's attention. It worked. The Valtraxian's massive head swiveled, its predatory eyes locking onto the boy, abandoning its previous target. What followed was a sickening blur of motion as the creature
blitzed Rutaba, a whirlwind of raw power. It didn't just strike; it began a savage, relentless brutalization, slamming the young Saiyan's skull into the unyielding ground again and again. The sickening *
CRACK* of bone against rock reverberated like a gunshot across the desolate battlefield, a sound that promised not just injury, but a devastating concussion for the child.
"Tch..."
A tempest of raw ki erupted beneath Shinji's feet, coiling into a pulsating conduit of pure energy. He wasn't just moving; he became a living projectile, launched with desperate force to snatch the young Saiyan from peril. The sheer force of his departure birthed a thunderous shockwave that ripped through the air. His speed, now boosted fivefold to an impressive 20,750, as Shinji rush forward he blurred him into nothing more than a crimson streak—a searing red phantom. Before anyone could even blink, before their minds could register the blur, he had already closed the distance, slamming his palm into the Valtraxian head who was manhandling Rutaba. In the next instant, as if materializing from thin air, Shinji reappeared, the Valtraxian's massive head now firmly clasped in the palm of his hand, he reinforced his arm sacrificing his ki and magical abilities amplifying his durability to 4,250 so that he won't lose a limb from the raw power generated from his speed. He moved so fast he generated a huge amount of momentum and when his hand gripped his opponent it pulled his head with incredible force, all that speed turning his body allowed him to generate immense power forcing an even greater impact. As he grabbed the head of the Valtraxian he twisted and pulled and his insane speed allowed him to have more leverage and torque far beyond that of what he could do standing still; the sheer velocity he generated in this very moment allowed him to rip his opponents head clean off it's shoulders...
"Well damn...."
