"I'm going out now dear." A man called out in a deep, gruff sounding voice. "Alright honey!" Replied a more feminine-sounding one from somewhere nearby. The owner of the voice, a slender human-like alien with a pig-snout and ears stepping into the room, where a large boar-like man had just finished tidying away his plate. "Off to work in the fields?" She asked him pleasantly, going over to him and kissing him on the snout.
Making a pleased noise in the back of his throat, he gave her a hug, wrapping his huge tree-trunk arms around her and grunting happily. "Yes dear. It's almost harvest time. How's Patsu this morning?" He asked his wife, referring to a small child sleeping in the next room. "I've given him his feed, he's growing up fast. He'll be as strong as you soon." She giggled as he unwrapped his arms, leaning over and planting a loving kiss on his cheek. Going into the room where his child was sleeping, the pig-man leaned over and nuzzled his son lovingly, reaching down and patting him on the head. "Cute little tyke. You be good for mommy while Daddy's out in the fields, ok?" He whispered to the sleeping boy, smiling down at him and reluctantly lifting away his hand, crossing over to the door and giving his wife a kiss before stepping out the door into the sunlight.
No sooner had he done so when another boar-man slightly shorter than him in stature came barging over to him, puffing and panting as if he'd run a long way. "L-Lord Ino! -pant- There's something -puff- terrible happening!" He grunted to the man known as Lord Ino, who ran over to him quickly and placed a supporting hand on his shoulder, a concerned look on his face. Turning around to glance at his hut, he lead the other pig-man away over to the bushes. Concerned that his wife might hear and worry. "What is it Goyo? Tell me, what's going on?" He asked anxiously, perplexed by the situation.
"T-The village..." Goyo whispered, Lord Ino's ears perking up with interest while tears streamed down Goyo's face. "It's been destroyed! Blown to smithereens along with everyone else! Pijon... Enji... Aryuu, they're dead! They're all dead!" He wailed despondently, Lord Ino's large hands clenching into massive bowling ball sized fists as he snarled with indignation. "Who has done this!?" He asked Goyo in a quiet but commanding voice, the only thing stopping him from roaring out loud in rage and fury his concern for his wife.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later Lord Ino was dashing across fields and bounding over hilltops, his great muscular legs pumping up and down like pistons as he followed Goyo over the yellow grassy plains where the tribe planted their crops. Signs of destruction were visible everywhere. Impact craters littered the plains, the ground was torn up and cracked, and there was a tall plume of black smoke rising from the distance, in the direction of the village. Reaching the village at last, Lord Ino's thundering footsteps slowly silenced, the great pig-lord's mouth dropping open as he gazed upon the cataclysm that had befallen his beloved village.
Houses lay in ruins, many of them collapsed and burning. Bodies lay scattered about the town, many of them in pieces, and all that was left of the village hall was a smoking crater, still fresh. Shaking his head with disbelief, Lord Ino turned his head to face Goyo again, his nostrils flaring. "Who did this!?" He snarled. There was a moment of silence, Goyo standing there motionlessly, staring past Lord Ino with a look of terror on his face, literally petrified by what he saw. Bracing himself and turning to follow Goyo's gaze, Lord Ino found himself glaring at Raim. Who was stood with his arms crossed watching them from a few meters away. Baring his teeth and narrowing his eyes at the alien assailant, Lord Ono snorted in disgust. "You! Are you the one who has done this!?" He bellowed, Raim standing there smirking.
Seemingly disappearing, Raim appeared behind Goyo and roasted him alive with a ki blast, before kicking his charred corpse into one of the burning buildings so hard it caused what was left of the structure to collapse, all the while smirking. "There." He breathed, lowering his foot from it's raised position. "That's all the little piggies I found here dead." He said smugly, suddenly bursting out into laughter.
Standing with his back to Raim, his whole body trembling with rage, Lord Ino opened his mouth wide and suddenly roared, turning around and throwing a punch at Raim, which he elegantly dodged by leaning to the side. Roaring again, Lord Ino began jabbing at Raim wildly, Raim easily dodging each one and circling around the huge boar-man, cackling triumphantly as Ino failed to land a single hit on him. Suddenly Lord no placed both his hands together and spun around in the opposite direction Raim was circling in, bringing both hands slamming into the side of Raim's face. While his opponent was stunned, he then delivered another punch to the Icer's gut, sending him flying backwards, scraping along the ground until he was able to regain his balance and jump back on his feet.
Reaching up and rubbing the dark purple bruise on his face, Raim glared over at Lord Ino, who was standing rigid and glaring at him back, his eyes blazing with righteous fury. "How dare you! You come here, you destroy my village, kill my friends! What right do you have?" He bellowed over at Raim, who calmly reached up and wiped the blood away, casting Ino a smug haughty look. "Because I am the superior being. It's no different that slaughtering animals for sustenance. I simply destroyed your people to increase my own power." He said flatly, without the slightest bit of shame.
"You... you heartless fiend! Fine! If you want a fight so badly, then I shall be your opponent! I'll punish you for your crimes!" Lord Ino declared thunderously, disgusted by Raim's lack of remorse. "Take THIS!" He grunted, slamming his fist into the ground and levitating a rock into the air, which he sent flying towards Raim. Watching the rock come towards him with a bored expression, Raim waited until the last second and slammed his tail through the center of the rock, splitting it in half. "So, you're geokinetic." Raim commented, observing Lord Ino's power to manipulate the rocks around them. "This fight might be enjoyable after all." He chuckled, crouching down into a fighting position.
"I'm just getting started!" The pig lord yelled back at him, raising several more rocks into the air and tossing them towards Raim, who simply smashed them like before. His nostrils flaring in anger, Lord Ino began hurling rocks at Raim with incredible speed, Raim moving like a blur to smash them all before they could hit him, the area around him becoming blanketed with rubble. "Not that this isn't fun," He commented as he slammed his fist through yet another rock. "But you're only wasting your time. I checked your power level on my way in. It's a puny 1 million." He chuckled, Lord Ino stopping his assault to hear what Raim was talking about, pointing to the scouter over the left side of his face.
"Mine's over 3 million. Which in other words, means you don't stand a chance against me. So be a good boy and die." He told Ino, who hung his head down hopelessly. "That's good, just stay right there... huh?" Raim exclaimed in surprise, noticing that Ino was no longer shaking with anger, but shaking with laughter instead. Lifting his face up and grinning at Raim, who was now stood on the ground with a dumbfounded expression, Lord Ino aised his muscular arms, making all the tiny pieces of rubble Raim had smashed levitate into the air, surrounding Raim with literal cloud of rocks. Clapping his hands together, the rocks all shot to Raim, sticking to him and interlocking together, sealing him inside a shell of rock. Rushing forwards quickly, knowing that Raim would break out quickly, Lord Ino grabbed the part of the rock containing Raim's head and slammed it face-first into the ground, following it up with kneeing Raim's chest and grasping him by his arms and legs, bending them backwards and rendering Raim helpless.
Listening to Raim scream as his arms and legs were snapped backwards, Lord Ino's eyes narrowed, and he bent him more. "Now do you feel the pain? This is what you get for destroying lives! This is your punishment!" He snarled into the hole of Raim's ear, bending the Icer even further. Suddenly noticing his tail, Lord Ino was smacked in the face by the Icer's fifth appendage, knocking him back and making him let go of Raim, who collapsed in a crumpled heap on the ground, his arms and legs splayed out awkwardly. Glaring down at his helpless enemy, Lord Ino stumbled forwards, hoping to catch the Icer before he had a chance to recover. Unfortunately once again Raim's tail stopped him, this time firing off a massive serpent-shaped blast of ki towards Lord Ino, which opened it's mouth and bared it's fangs as it sped towards him. Leaping to the left, Ino gave a grunt of surprise as the snake moved to follow him, turning around and coming for him again.
Levitating a rock to protect himself, the snake ploughed straight through and continued going for Ino, who had to roll out of the way to avoid it. Crouching down into a firm battle stance, Ino raised his arms into the air once again, his muscles bulging as he raised a massive rock wall in front of him, his body straining as if he was actually physically doing it. This time it worked, the snake beam exploded as it collided with the rock wall, having run out of energy. Realizing that Raim had moved from his last position, something wrapped itself around Lord Ino's throat, Raim's tail. Levitating behind Ino, Raim glared at him from behind, making Ino squeal as he tightened his tail's grip. "I'll admit that was an interesting little maneuver you pulled with those stones back there! But no-one defies me and gets away with it!" Raim hissed through gritted teeth, grinning viciously as Ino began desperately gasping for breath. "No-one! That means you piggy!" He cackled, tightening his tail's grip until Lord Ino's body went limp. Prodding Ino experimentally, Raim flicked hi tail and slammed Ino into the ground, where he lay helplessly with his back turned, looking all in all rather pathetic. "After this, I'll hunt down that lovely little family of yours my scouter detected earlier. Know that before you DIE!" Raim yelled, firing a beam of ki from hs finger aimed at Ino's heart.
"PATSU!" Lord Ino cried out furiously, suddenly leaping to his feet and sidestepping Raim's blast, ramming forwards and piledriving Raim into the floor. Roaring in fury, Lord Ino began furiously pummeling Raim, his arms a blur as Raim was repeatedly struck by his bowling ball sized fists, which soon became stained purple from Raim's blood. Finishing Raim off with a powerful stomp that drove him deep into the earth, Lord Ino clapped his hands together again, making the earth swallow up Raim and seal him within a rocky tomb, which then sunk deep into the ground. Panting heavily, Lord Ino fell backwards ad lay down on the ground, reaching up and rubbing his sore neck. Getting back up after a few minutes rest, he began the grim task of burying the bodies of those Raim had killed, making tombs for them the same way he had done with Raim and extinguishing the fires by throwing earth over them, the sun setting by the time he had finished.
-------------------------------------------------------
Beginning the long trek home, lugging his bruised and battered body, Lord Ino's spirits rose as he sighted his cottage in the distance, a lamp hanging in the windowsill to guide his way home. He smiled and wiped away a tear, it was something his wife always did if he was out a long time, and the sight reassured him that everything was still alright. The alien invader really was no more.
"Ah, what good timing! You're just in time for a barbecue!" Yelled a voice all to familiar to Lord Ino, who looked up into the sky with an expression of horror, seeing Raim hovering there, covered in bruises and cuts and bloody all over. But ALIVE. "You're not the only one who can play dead you know! Now suffer my wrath!" Raim scowled, firing a massive blast of energy at Lord Ino's cottage, destroying it in a huge explosion of light. His mouth dropping open, Lord Ino fell to his knees, his spirit crushed as he watched his family go up in flames. Letting Lord Ino live a few minutes longer, to savor his pain, Raim then blasted him too, vaporising his hated enemy in a flash of blue light. ""Finnaly..." He gasped, gently lowering himself down to the ground, bleeding all over from his wounds. "Damn pig...! He croaked in a voice hoarse from shouting, falling to his knees and lying down. "That swine was tougher than I thought..." Mumbled Raim, willing his body to move. Got to get to the restoration tank... He said over and over again in his mind, gradually rising into the air and floating towards the landing site of his ship, telling himself that it was just a little further, imagining Altair's face as he had told him to leave, keeping himself going on his rage and stubborn refusal to die.
Finnaly reaching his ship, Raim clambered inside and dragged himself to the medical bay, literally throwing himself into the restoration chamber, sighing with releif as the soothing liquid engulfed his body, easing his aches and cleaning his wounds. Letting his eyelids droop, Raim slowly slipped away to unconciousness, the feel of his body starting to heal relaxing and calming him, although a flame of triumphant rage still burned inside, fueling his pride at surviving the challenge Lord Ino had presented. Next time you arrogant monkey, next time I'll make you regret defying me too... He chuckled within the darkening depths of his mind, before blacking out completely. Dreaming of future destruction.
Making a pleased noise in the back of his throat, he gave her a hug, wrapping his huge tree-trunk arms around her and grunting happily. "Yes dear. It's almost harvest time. How's Patsu this morning?" He asked his wife, referring to a small child sleeping in the next room. "I've given him his feed, he's growing up fast. He'll be as strong as you soon." She giggled as he unwrapped his arms, leaning over and planting a loving kiss on his cheek. Going into the room where his child was sleeping, the pig-man leaned over and nuzzled his son lovingly, reaching down and patting him on the head. "Cute little tyke. You be good for mommy while Daddy's out in the fields, ok?" He whispered to the sleeping boy, smiling down at him and reluctantly lifting away his hand, crossing over to the door and giving his wife a kiss before stepping out the door into the sunlight.
No sooner had he done so when another boar-man slightly shorter than him in stature came barging over to him, puffing and panting as if he'd run a long way. "L-Lord Ino! -pant- There's something -puff- terrible happening!" He grunted to the man known as Lord Ino, who ran over to him quickly and placed a supporting hand on his shoulder, a concerned look on his face.

Enji... Aryuu, they're dead! They're all dead!" He wailed despondently, Lord Ino's large hands clenching into massive bowling ball sized fists as he snarled with indignation. "Who has done this!?" He asked Goyo in a quiet but commanding voice, the only thing stopping him from roaring out loud in rage and fury his concern for his wife.
