Only for Emergencies, Part II (Ninjin)

[Leke Hattori]

From the first thread:

His brother had regained control momentarily, Ninjin had seen it in the eyes of the beast as it looked up at him, pleading for him to help. The crown-prince bared his teeth and roared at him. His brother was stronger than the beast within. He knew this. They both knew it. Leke was giving up the fight to the beast because it was easy. Because he didn’t know how to fight it. That wasn’t acceptable to the elder Hattori.

“Fight it!” His voice came out deep and guttural. The Oozaru’s voice and yet not. Ninjin had full control, and it felt good to let his bestial side out every once and a while. His brother’s Oozaru was on his feet quickly, once again leading to a feeling of pride within Ninjin’s chest. His brother had so much fight in him, so much ferocity. It was like looking into a fun house mirror, seeing a smaller version of himself.

The punches and kicks that came forth were wild and haphazard, and even being weaker than Leke it was not hard to brush them aside with well-placed blocks. In fighting Ninjin had the advantage simply because he retained all of his training. He blocked two shots and aimed a double fisted punch at the chest of his younger brother. If they connected he would loose a weak mouth blast at his foot and follow up with an uppercut to his jaw.

“Fight it, I know you’re in there.”

The fight was taking a lot out of Leke and the giant ape body he now had. The simplest move took a lot of effort. Luckily, or unluckily - this depends on your view - the Oozaru form was taking control of the fighting for Leke. The two minds battled on the inside while the two giants fought on the outside. The idiotic monkey's brutal fighting moves did not faze the elder Ninjin - he used his wits and self-control to avoid the swipes and swings coming his way.

In counter, Ninjin rushed forward with two extended fists, both stronger than mountains, and slammed them against Leke's chest. A guttural roar was expelled as he was shoved back, immense pain taking over his chest. A rib might have cracked from the sheer impact. However, that was the least of the giant ape's problems, as soon after a beam of energy seared into his left foot. This was followed up with a clever strike upwards into his elongated jawbone. The attack was not strong enough to lift his body into the sky, but it did toss him back even further.

Leke could feel the pain, but it was dulled as he was still fighting for control. The further he got, the more pain he felt; it worked against his efforts. Ninjin had no remorse for his little brother, trying to get him to sieze control over the beast Leke had transformed into. It was working, bit by bit, but it would take time. With each strike, Leke felt that the Oozaru's grip loosened, allowing him further access. With the uppercut, Leke felt as though he had gained an upper hand over the ape. He could clench his fist, but that was about all he could do. He could fully see what the Saiyan instincts were doing, but he could do little to stop it.

Oozaru-Leke grunted and stood up tall. It knew that it was about equal strength with its enemy, but it couldn't understand why it couldn't win. Leke tried screaming, internally, that it lacked any sort of thoughts, but to no avail. It could not use its full strength, as it could if Leke was in control. The primal instincts told him to rush forward once more. The speed of his form surprised Leke greatly. A hairy shoulder lead the charge, straight for Ninjin's abdomen. Ruthlessness was all the monkey knew, not the intricate detail of fighting.

[Emperor Ninjin Hattori]

His attacks had hit his little brother exactly as he had expected them to. It was hard to block an attack when your training fails you, and with Leke in his Oozaru form, he was more animal than Saiyan. His brother lay in a heap, the attacks having taken their toll.

"Control it!" He roared, his voice deep and guttural. Vil, Ninjin's old bodyguard, had employed the same tactic in trying to get the crown-prince to control his own Oozaru form. And it worked. Ninjin had gained control over his Oozaru relatively easily, and his brother was as strong willed as he was.

His brother stood, and with it Ninjin's spirits. A glimmer of recognition was in the Oozaru's eyes. His fist clenched and unclenched, and the movement was calculated, planned. It was definitely his brother moving his hand. The beast charged and his shoulder caught the prince in the chest. Ninjin allowed himself to be lifted off of his feet and attempted to wrap his legs around his younger brothers chest. If that worked, he would wrap his arm around Leke's neck in a choke-hold.

[Leke Hattori]

The word "Control" bounced throughout the giant ape's mind. Control? What was control? Over one's self, or another? Possession, not only of mind, but of body. And that now was not something Leke had, or could hope to get. For the moment, anyways. The Oozaru roared and was glad to slam straight into the other monkey, lifting him up into the air. Leke thought to himself that it was too easy, too simple. Ninjin could have easily dodged that-

And then his elder brother's legs lifted into the air. Leke could feel them wrapping around his - no, the Oozaru form's - neck, squeezing the air and life out of him. The monkey tried to fight it, thrashing about. Leke tried to fight it, both the monkey and Ninjin. The monkey and the saiyan became one, both fighting a common enemy. As the monkey stumbled about, trying to get Ninjin off, so too did Leke. He grasped Ninjin's legs on his neck.

His neck. Leke was surprised to find out that he could move his body at will. The pain was so great that he didn't notice before. Oozaru-Leke gave a grin and gripped hard on Ninjin's thick legs and gave everything he had to try to release their grip on his throat. This fight was going to be a lot more different now that Leke and his body were working together.

[Emperor Ninjin Hattori]

The Oozaru thrashed as soon as Ninjin got a hold of its neck, struggling with little hope of removing the hold. Ninjin had it locked in place and it would take a much more calculated mind than that of the animal to overcome the leverage the elder of the two had. And then something changed.

There was something different about the way Leke was fighting back against Ninjin’s chokehold all of a sudden. It wasn’t as animalistic as the other attempts had been. An animal in this situation would be clawing, biting, doing anything it could to get out of the stranglehold and stop death from taking it. Thrashing as it had been mere moments ago. Instead two massive paws gripped at his thighs and pried them apart. Ninjin Oozaru back-flipped off of his younger brothers shoulders and landed in a fighting stance. He saw the spark of recognition within Leke’s eyes and knew that he had taken control of the beast within.

It wasn’t an easy thing to do, and it would always be there the beast inside. Even now Ninjin’s Oozaru was whispering in the back of his mind to go for the throat of the creature in front of him, but he wouldn’t. He was in total control. No one takes over Ninjin Hattori.

He knew the entire time that his brother had the strength to control it. He was a Hattori after all, and though he was young he was very strong. The will within him was equally as strong and as stubborn as that within Ninjin.

“Now that you have control, shall we continue?”

[Leke Hattori]

The giant monkey form of Ninjin effortlessly backflipped from his shoulders as Leke pried his legs off of his neck. The elder brother definitely had more control. Leke stretched his shoulders, coming to an understanding with his instincts. He knew now that he could not fight against his instincts in this form, but WITH them. The hard part would be how to hold his ruthless Saiyan blood back. That would come in time, he supposed, but for now, he had a fight to take care of.

Leke opened his jowls to respond to Ninjin, but found that he could not. It was a weird feeling, having a new shape of mouth. It was almost impossible to form coherent sounds. He would have to work on that in the future. For now, a vicious snarl sufficed, which is all he could make with the Oozaru mouth. The younger prince assumed his own, loose fighting stance, which utilized his speed and technique over raw strength, and then rushed forward.

Tugging at him was the urge to tear his brother limb from limb. How dare he mock Leke, constantly beating and torturing him. His blood boiled in anticipation of making Ninjin meet his maker. It scared the thirteen-year-old Saiyan boy, actually. The fact that he was a weapon with a mind only for death, even if it was his own brother. This was a sparring match for him, but a deathmatch for his primal instincts.

Still, Leke fought back the Oozaru, using controlled punches and kicks in flurries at Ninjin. They were much different from before, these timed almost to perfection and growing increasingly stronger if any strike actually hit. He put ki behind his attacks, increasing his strength and speed to gain a possible advantage in this endeavor. Leke felt empowered by this new body, felt that nothing could ever stop him. Ninjin could prove false this statement quickly, or bolden the Oozaru's ego.

[Emperor Ninjin Hattori]

It was clear that Leke now had some control over his giant ape-like form. For one animals didn’t work their shoulders like he did, and for another thing they didn’t stare at things like the Oozaru was now staring at him. The creature before him opened its mouth and Ninjin thought he was going to respond, but no words made their way out, only a vicious snarl.

“I suppose that works as an answer.” The older Oozaru responded in its deep and guttural voice. If giant apes could smirk, Ninjin did. Leke fell into a fighting stance and Ninjin followed suit, though the older brother’s was more tight and obviously in better control. He had been doing this for years, his brother mere moments. Then Leke came at him.

A flurry of punches and kicks made their way at the red prince. These were much different than before, there was tactic there, and evidence of the training they had learned when they were boys and practiced still to this day. Ninjin blocked and evaded, but the advantage that he had previously was gone. A punch caught him in the chin, and a kick buckled his knee. Another uppercut caught him in the chin and the Oozaru fell backwards, momentarily surprised by the newfound technique and power of his brother. The blows had technique, but were still filled with the animalistic rage an Oozaru was characterized by It caused him to smile as he worked his jaw back and forth with his hand.

“Not bad. Not bad at all. You might actually be pretty good at this.” Ninjin kip-upped and the whole arena shook with the force. He opened his mouth and unleashed a wave of ki at his brother, then followed close behind it. When he got close he would flip over to his hands and spin like a top, aiming a series of kicks at his brother’s jaw.

[Leke Hattori]

Leke found his attacks generally effective now that he was working alongside his born instincts. They propelled him forward and increased his strength and speed by fivefold. In fact, his lumbering form seemed to move just like his own normal body, even though he found his size increased by well over three times. It was completely natural to him, surprisingly, but he just had to get over the stump of keeping control of himself. He would have to work further to master this form, clearly, but right now, he had enough to make a good fight with his brother.

His strikes came home, and one of his punches connected with Ninjin's chin. They were both surprised. The other Oozaru stumbled and fell to his back, leaving Leke standing in a daze. He could do that? Was he so close to his brother in power that he could do such a thing? Or was it his Oozaru form, the fact that he had such rage and power, combined with surprise, that just let him get a jump on his brother?

Before he could try to find an answer to that question, Ninjin rose to his feet. His mouth opened to release a massive beam of ki at Leke. His arms instinctively rose in a cross to absorb the blast, but it took his entire body bracing for impact to keep him from falling off his feet. Leke, having taken the hit without too much damage, looked ahead now to-

Smack-smack! Each of Ninjin's feet slammed into Leke's jaw, spinning him about and causing him to stumble in a daze. He caught himself on the ground of the arena with his massive, furry paws. Leke saw stars for a moment from the impacts, and shook his head. Slightly dizzy, he rose again to his feet, turning to face his brother. The Oozaru snarled at him in rage and leapt at him, almost instinctively, trying to catch him off-guard. None of Ninjin's attacks had been meant to inflict much damage before, apparently. Leke would make sure he'd pay for that. All of his power would be behind every punch, stratch, kick, and bite - the beast would fight this engagement. Leke knew that this would be a total surprise to his brother; after having just experienced controlled strikes, he would only be thinking of planned attacks. This was pure, animalistic instinct.

[Emperor Ninjin Hattori]

The two mammoth creatures stood face to face, staring at each other with intense fury, some of it animalistic fury some of it sibling rivalry. All of it was fueling their attacks against each other. Leke had made his way back to his feet after the series of kicks had landed on his chin, exactly as Ninjin had meant it to. His brother was a capable fighter, and one of the best that the Saiyan army had to offer, but he was still a novice when it came to fighting a battle as a controlled Oozaru. Ninjin on the other hand was practiced at the art, after all he had been doing it for years.

Leke leapt towards him surprising the older of the two. He put his arms up instinctively, as much animalistic instinct as the leap itself had been. They caught each other around the arms grappling and vying for dominant position. Leke began biting and scratching at the older brothers arms, Ninjin tried to hold firm. He stared into his younger brother's eyes.

"Good younger brother. You're much improved." He snaked his foot behind his younger brother's leg and then would shove his weight forward. If his tactic worked his brother would be thrown backwards, his legs taken out from underneath him as his own weight would be used against him. If he got thrown off his feet Ninjin would punch downwards into his stomach and then unleash another blast of ki from his mouth, right into the face of his younger brother, though he would make sure not to do it to kill him.

If his tactic didn't work he would be locked in the grapple with his younger brother, each ape vying for position, and he would be in a very vulnerable spot with his leg behind his brothers.

[Leke Hattori]

The two brothers engaged each other in a brawl, fur ripping out as the two traded blows. Leke even resorted to biting and scratching to get any kind of advantage. The surprise attack had not been as effective as the younger brother would have liked, but it served its own purpose. Ninjin was put on the defensive for a moment. By being on the offensive, Leke would not let Ninjin use his superior strength.

However, Leke soon felt its drawbacks. He felt his own body getting a little more sluggish. His blinks lasted longer, his legs felt wobbly. Fatigue started to set on him - fighting his own body and now Ninjin was wearing him down. Momentarily weakened, Leke did not even notice his elder slipping a leg behind his own and shoving him. The younger Prince, surprised, collapsed in a tangle of legs. He certainly felt the slam of a massive fist pounding down on his stomach.

Furthering the assault, Ninjin, now ontop of him, firing a blast of ki from his mouth straight in his face. Pain washed over Leke as the energy seared the hairs and skin on his giant ape face. The Oozaru roared in agony as he was subjected to the Crown Prince's torture, not only in pain but in anger. He could've done nothing to stop it!

His vision started to blur as the pain throbbed. Leke could barely even see Ninjin's face. He felt... Immobile. Such a feeling had never happened to him, at least not so early in a fight. This was a sibling brawl that had just begun... Why was he so drained?

Behind Ninjin's head, Leke could see the shining Moon Ball floating in the air. It seemed to waver and shake, dimming and slightly moving. The younger prince did not know of any time limit on them... But he could not remember much of anything else at this point. In a daze, Leke lifted his head to face his stronger, eldest brother. It took much effort to try and form words with his new face, but it seemed easier now that he was thinking less.

"Damn..."

[Emperor Ninjin Hattori]

The elder Hattori brother had taken the upper hand in their little spar. He stood over his brother, the smell of burnt hair and skin filling his nostrils and face. There had been no avoiding his attacks, and he was moments away from inflicting the final blow in the combat if he so choose. He raised his fist, but it took all the effort in his body. What was happening. He glanced behind him and up at the moon ball he had thrown. It wavered and then dissapeared.

"Looks like our time as Oozarus are over." His mouth felt clumsier than before. His body began to shrink, muscles constricting and shrinking. The knife-point teeth that filled his mouth shrank back to their regular size. The thick layer of fur that was covering him from head to toe peeled back into his skin, leaving it bare and smooth. His eyes changed from their deep red back to their normal hazel color. The rage he felt within himself began to subside. His body shrunk from over thirty feet to six feet tall.

Beneath him, his brother changed back to his normal state as well. The older brother smiled as he made his way to his feet, then offered his hand to his younger brother.

"Excellent. Just excellent. You should have no problem learing to control yourself in your Oozaru form." He beamed down with pride towards the baby of the Hattori family.

[Leke Hattori]

Leke shook his head, still hurting from the ringing sound in his ears that would not go away. His brother had seriously messed him up, but it shouldn't have been enough to make him feel like he was then. He looked back to the moon ball in the sky, which then flickered and dissipated. In moments, the younger brother felt his entire body being smushed back to normal size. It was not as painful as his previous transformation, but it was mostly awkward. Even more awkward was the fact that his brother was leaning over him as he lay on the ground; the two transformed simultaneously.

When his figure returned to his usual small (in comparison to Ninjin) frame, he could finally speak again. In between gasps, Leke barely muttered out, "Yeah... Thank you, brother," after he was helped off of the ground by his brother. The transformations and the fight had taken a lot out of him. At the very least, Leke was now confident that he could use his Oozaru form as a tool for victory in battle - better yet, that his dream would not ever happen, not with the power he now possessed. He could sleep easy again knowing this.
