Temporary Alliance:

Merus's body glows a bright blue before he splits into two, The clone of Merus and himself launch towards me and the other man, He throws a punch I block it firing a ki blast he leans back dodging it, He spins his gun in his hand firing a blast at me, I swat it away, I bend my knees throwing a cross, he twists left slipping under my punch, He grabs me by the collar loading back his legs, he lets go of my armor kicking me to the ground, I bounce off the ground facing away from him, I spin while in the air firing a blast, he dodges it flying towards me, I push off the ground flipping in the air landing on my feet, I look up in the air and see that Merus has vanished, I look down and see two beady purple eyes staring directly, I slightly step forward twisting my body and throwing a hook, he ducks it before pushing me with one hand under, I stumble back, I look up before feeling a sharp pain in my chest, smoke begins slowly filling my vision,

I stumble back bumping into a tree behind me, I look down and see he's holding his gun directly pointing at my chest, my saiyan armor has a small hole in it, with blood pouring out of it, I cover the hole with my right hand,

He dashes toward me targeting my shoulder which has a huge gash in it, I create a blast in my hand left hand firing it at him, he tilts his body sliding under it, he sweeps my feet from under me I land on a root of the tree, I push off of the ground standing back up, I wobble back holding my chest firing blasts, he dodges all of my blasts, He loads back his hand slamming it across my temple, I fall to the ground, I get to my knees before feeling a sharp pain hitting my jaw, I look up seeing his knee right in front of me,

I let go of my chest firing a blast at his leg, it catches him off guard knocking him off of his feet, I gingerly stand back up before running away, I hear blasts flying towards me, I run zig-zag hundreds of blasts crash into trees surrounding me, I'm heading towards a clearing in the forest but,

I hear a footstep right behind me, I spin right around and look down, I see Merus standing with his knees bent right under me, I try to raise my hands to block the attack but it was too fast, he throws an overhand hitting my armor, I hear a loud crack ripple through my armor, I see blood flying out of my mouth, I get launching through the air bouncing on the ground repeatedly I grip the soil slowly my momentum eventually stopping me, I kneel on the ground covering my mouth while I cough crimson red blood,

I stand back up before feeling something bump into my back, I look behind me and see the tall man with the sword, we are standing back to back, the right side of his face has a massive cut right above his eye,

" Is he kicking your ass too? " I ask him with a bloody smile, he glances at me before shaking his head at me,

" No, but I think it's a good idea to team up for now, I know we are meant to kill each other but- "

I interrupt him by nodding my head,

" No need to explain yourself, I doubt we could beat this guy on our own, I'll just have to kill you after we defeat him. "

He lets out a small chuckle, before turning his head, both of the Merus are walking directly toward each of us, while clapping their hands, mines coming from the south while his is coming from the north,

" Well looks like you are getting along, " said Merus with a bright smile on his face, he raises his right arm pressing his finger into his ear, he lets go of his ear before walking towards us again, I hear a voice speak behind me, so I look back,

"It's just a temporary alliance, right after this we're going to kill each other, " said the man behind me with a bright smile on his face...
