Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out this story. Originally, I had put this story on a crossover for Young Justice, but it's too restricting for me. Justice League includes everyone.
Zuce lunges forward with her fist cocked. A white aura surrounds her body, accelerating her speed towards her target. The white aura itself shapes into a comet with a V-shaped tail at the back. She yells as the distance shortens and arcs her swing. Her target phases out and appears behind her. The blue figure stretches his finger out to tap her shoulder. But halfway to his goal, her body twirls with a kick. The figure raises his eyebrows before moving his staff and blocking the kick. The orb contacts with the foot and the figure smiles. He glances back at his student to see a fist already launching towards him.
"Hmph." He phases out and the punch goes through the afterimage. Not even a second later, the figure materializes behind Zuce once more. He repeats his past action but this time, with a smile. A long shadow looms over Whis's head and his mouth forms an O. He catches her black boot and, quickly before she can react, throws her behind him.
"How did you know that?" Zuce's body ragdolls and her body flails towards the blue pond.
A white aura surrounds her body again, and her body comes to a halt. The water ripples to the force, and waves splash upwards before settling down. The only thing she makes is a 'tsk'. Without a second to lose, she dives straight back resuming their fight. The wind blows her spiky hair. Three downward V-shaped bundles of hair are in front of her face, forming a bit of a W but the Vs are spatially spaced out. The hair stops after going a bit after her eyebrows and the length stops 2 inches below her ears.
Her black eyes reflect Whis as she shortens the gap. Arcing a fist, Whis simply hmms while Zuce is charging him. She pushes the punch forward only to be met with his staff; she feels the vibration traveling through her fist. Grunts come out of Zuce as she begins to barrage Whis with a fury of fists. His staff vanishes to the side.
"Ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora!" Each punch strikes fast and hard; faster than the human eye can catch but not for Whis. He dodges and weaves between each punch as they fly by. There's no need for his staff.
An annoyed expression appears on her face as none of them are connecting but it's to be expected. She is facing an Angel after all and the trainers to her mentors. Nevertheless, she keeps on pressing forth as Whis takes a step back with every dodge to allow space between them but the distance is closed for every time it is available.
All of the sudden, an attempted right round house kick inches towards Whis's face. But Whis swings his head down, and the kick flies over his head and into the open air. Twisting around, she attempts for a sideways left kick but Whis bats away the foot, and his hand sends Zuce flying into the pond. The pond erupts. Waves form and arise during the harsh landing.
Whis stares. Before a smirk appears; she's persistent and eager to be up there with her mentors. The power inside them is what inspired her to begin to train with Whis for the past months or so, maybe even a year. They haven't been keeping count of the days passed. The chores, weight lifting, fat suits, she all been going through all of that on a daily basis ever since the defeat of Merged Mira with Towa.
It's been several months ever since that day the experiment turned on his creator and fused together. In the end, it was Zuce's Dragon Fist that retrieved Toki's egg as it had been the TimeBreakers' goals all along. The resurrection of the demon clan and they were persistent about it. Almost every conversation involved the resurrection. It's almost like their only purpose was to spout off their entire plan as if they were confident in their own strengths. But alas, it was futile.
The timelines have been restored, and no future Timebreakers would dare to mess with history.
Bubbles appear and a dark spot appears in the disturbed water. A white aura cuts through the water. Zuce jets out. Her anger fully towards the Angel as she begins to mix all of her moves together. Several barrages of legs and hands; elbow and leg, anything she can try to land a hit. Her white aura grows bigger until its shape is like a comet's. Her ki is flaring up. She is pushing to the limits on how difficult training with him would be. Death is a possibility should she have faltered in the weights or the amount of presence in that room. Training with an Angel is life changing so why not risk your life to have the power?
Whis bobs and weaves through while the smirk continues.
"ORA!" Zuce cocks a fist before launching it towards Whis. Instead of dodging per usual, Whis holds up his index finger and they clash. A sonic boom forms from the two powerhouses clashing but as examined, Zuce is struggling to keep her fist on his finger. She screams out louder and pushes her Ki even further.
"That will be enough for today." Those words hit Zuce fast as she quickly retracts her fist and breathes in and out. Beads of sweat appear on her face and some have the long trail. Zuce floats down to the ground and Whis follows, examining his 3rd student.
She has on a red flowing sleeveless Gi vest with a long backside with a black shirt underneath along with black pants and a blue belt around her waist. Her toned muscles reflect onto the shirt. Though only standing to be 5'7 and 17 years old. Quite young for her to be doing all this history correction and godly stuff but she was the best of the class.
Whis's staff appears in his hand and he points the orb at Zuce.
"You're a great fighter both in the speed and power department. That kick of yours, was it instinctive or thought based?" Zuce, still catching her breath, holds up a finger. The fight was about an hour of relentless assaults and dodges. More than the average sparring session; it was only thanks to Zuce using her base form.
"Don't know; just felt like you were going to be there and I moved accordingly." A hmm comes out of Whis and he begins to walk north. Zuce follow-suits and to her left are patches of pink lilies and on the other side is the pond Zuce would occasion be thrown into.
"I have to hand it to you; you've improved drastically since you begged me and that I'm quite pleased with the results you yield. But-" All Zuce could see next was a dash of blue before her right side explodes into pain. She immediately forms a fetal position, hands over the spot where Whis jabbed at. Eyes closed and little grunts; it was painful.
"Ow, ow, ow. Jeez, Whis, a little warning next time?"
"But you're still moving with thought though not as much but still, it's quite visible once the fight progresses. Maybe in a couple of more months of these sessions, I'll be having the parts of your body move without you needing to send a signal. It can only move so fast before being overwhelmed which is why I'm helping you… besides the delicious food you bring. Tell me, what was it you brought again?" Whis lifts up a bag and in it is a container. Zuce gets up but not without rubbing the spot.
It had been common to get with the good side of the gods. Human sacrifices, devoted prayer, all of these other methods of praising gods didn't work. But what did was food. Delicious food. Earth was a thriving culinary planet. The food there was one of the many reasons it was spared from a particular god's wrath and saved again by the same angel Zuce was fighting.
"Ribs with macaroni and cheese to the side. It was a special that the restaurant I went to had today." Whis takes out the container and pops off the lid to reveal a row of saucy meat with bones sticking at one of the ends. The meat has a black and red texture to it. The cheese on the macaroni has been lightly melted on the noodles and been mixed.
"How am I supposed to eat this?"
"Use the knife and fork in the bag." Whis picks up the bag again to reveal a metal knife and fork. He pins the rib with the fork and cuts in the middle of the two end pieces. His hand grips the exposed bone, and he bites into the meat. Sauce appears on Whis's lips as he bites into it and chews it around. He swallows.
"OHHHHH!" The wind comes. *Rustle* the grass waves in corresponds to the wind. The flavors rush to his taste buds, and it seems they are in agreement. This food is delicious and we want more. He quickly slices off another before devouring into that one.
"It practically melts in your mouth!" Whis's body swings back and forth with his 'hmmm' while chewing. Guess that my cue to leave.
"Til next time, Whis!" But Whis was already in the air and flying towards the tree. Zuce shrugs and begins to walk towards the golden snow globe look alike. The top portion has the image of Conton City and Zuce lays her hand on it.
Conton City
Zuce appears standing next to the golden globe but this time, the image is of the great tree Beerus resides in. Immediately, the noise hits her ear-drums and she smiles as she is back in her town. Sounds of conversation between the Time Patrollers and ordinary citizens, the sound of people flying around or on their motor transport whether that be the flying pad or Nimbus.
The whole moon is out and illuminating down on Conton City. Crickets begin to rub their legs together and city lights begin to spark on.
Zuce flies down from the stage and slowly descends onto the sidewalk and begins to walk home. The stage itself is a hidden one, only those who win the gods' flavor may enter and that's after doing challenging tasks such as facing off all the forms of Goku and Vegeta, against Buu's forms, against the Sherons. The ability to meet with them comes at a heavy burden; it is not for the faint of heart or for the cockiest of them all.
Luckily, she had gotten good words about her from Goku as she occasionally spars with him and the potential she showed during those sessions left her with a bit of an edge.
*Brrr, Brrrr*
A phone's vibration. Zuce reaches into her pocket and looks onto the bright screen. In a white big font spells out 'Avdol' and below that are two boxes. One's green and the other is red. In the middle is a picture of blonde hair girl. The blonde hair is in a ponytail and she has on a blue tank top with a white sleeveless jacket; on her arms are black sleeves that cut off at the elbow and don't cover her hands. A red aura surrounds her in the picture.
She presses the green button and presses the phone to her ear.
"Ya?"
"When do you think you're gonna head home? Dinner is already served and I rather not serve people cold food despite the responsibility they have to uphold…" Zuce presses her finger to the top of the screen and pushes just a little down to see the time is 8:20. Zuce hmms.
"What time did you finish cooking?"
"Around 8." Shit! Zuce immediately presses two fingers to her forehead and closes her eyes. In a split second, her body disappears and only a body of dust is left in her spot.
Zuce's + Avdol's house
Zuce rematerializes and opens before her eyes. Observing her surroundings, she spots the grey couch and flat screen TV along with other small pieces of furniture.
"Hey, I'm home! What's for dinner?" Zuce reaches down and removes her boots. She walks to the shoe rack near the door and places them there. The door itself is red and has two golden locks. Zuce examines it and sees that the two locks are engaged and walks back into the hall.
"Sushi, fried rice, 3 whole turkeys, 5 fish on a stick, and a giant octopus." Avdol's voice booms through the house.
"Thanks!" However, instead of immediately heading for the kitchen; Zuce heads down the hallway and opens a door near the end on the right and walks in.
In the room is a king sized bed, its frame is wooden and has a pillar on each corner. The flooring is a blue carpet. To the right is another door and she heads over there. Opening this door leads into a tiled room, her bathroom. As she walks in, a large mirror with a sink beneath is the first thing she sees, and the reflection shines her cleanliness from through the day, and she is not clean at all.
Turning right, she walks before stopping before another door, and she twists the handle and walks in. Clothes are hanging everywhere. Different styles of clothing, fabric, and other accessories. It's a woman's dream to have such space for all of those clothing options; the varied combinations of styles these clothes can offer. It's astonishing.
Zuce strip off her current clothes. First comes off the belt, then the jacket, shirt, and finally to the pants. She stands naked in the closet with the clothes in her hand. Walking near the end of the closet is a metal hole. Above the metal hole is a sign that reads 'Laundry Tube'. The tube pops off its lid and inside are metal rings. Zuce places the dirty clothes into the tube and pops the lid back on. A suckling sound comes out of the tube as Zuce turns around and walks to her right.
Hmmm. Guess I'll go with this. Zuce picks out a white t shirt along with some black shorts and a poka dot pantie and a white bra. The closet door opens and Zuce steps out and heads toward a clear door on the other side. Reaching it, the door slides back and she sets the clothes on a nearby counter and places both of her feet in. She walks until she is a few feet from the shower head.
"Warm water." Water soon begins to pour from the shower head at a middle rate. She 'ahhhs' as the warm water hits her naked body and not before long she stretches. Twisting her back, neck, knees, knuckles, this is a perfect relaxation from a long day of training.
I will one day be able to match with them. I've been efficient in my time with Whis as there's no time to mess around. Even with Mira and Towa gone, there's still a possibility that someone stronger may come around. So far, there's been some altercation with history but yet no answers. It happened in the tournament with Universe 6; Goku was missing until Xenion brought him back. What is happening this time?
Zuce reaches for a green bottle and pops off the lid off that. She squeezes from the middle onto her hand and a green substance comes out of the bottle. Rubbing it together, the substance breaks down and she runs through her hair with the shampoo.
*Few minutes later*
"Ahhhh." In her new clothes, she leans on the dinner table chair from finishing her food. A burp escapes from her and she giggles. The dishes pile up towards the ceiling. Picking up the dishes, she puts them in the sink and mechanical arms come out to the side and grab the dirty plates. Each hand has its purpose, one has the water, one has the towel, and the last one has the soap.
She hears the processing going as she leaves the kitchen and into the living room. There, the TV is blaring with sounds of gunshots. Looking at the TV, a man shot through the head by a bearded man. The man turns around and lays some more bullets into henchmen wearing a suit and a red dress shirt.
On the couch lies Avdol and now her pants are a bit puffy as if it were to be described and she has no shoes as well.
Zuce rests her arms on the cushion and turns towards Avdol.
"What's that?"
"A man bent on revenge because these gangsters killed his dog. A fucking dog. Gotta say, for a man of barely any words; his actions of the past speak volumes of him. Everyone in this organization knows him and they fear him. Music's nice as well."
"What is it called?"
"I can't seem to remember. There's another one after this. Would look for the title but then I would have to move from my comfortable position to do so." Her body is laid to take up the entire couch. From one couch arm to the other, her head and feet are placed there. Thank God, I bought other furniture. Walking to the nearby 4 seat couch, she lays and does the exact same position Avdol is doing. Her arms act as a pillow as she sees the man battle out with another bearded man in the club.
"Zuce…" Her attention draws to Avdol glaring at her.
"Yeah? Whatcha need?"
"You did pay the bills this month right?" She simply nods and Avdol responds with a nod as well. Despite a Saiyan and a human living in the same house; necessities needed to be dealt with and a human's problem is the same for a Saiyan when it comes to reality. Not everything is charging in with a fist but to think wisely and to be effective in life.
"If there are things I'd missed; it's not bills."
"Just wanting to make sure. With you gone for hours doing who knows what? I assumed that you were behind on a few things." Zuce waves her hand. "Anyway, a couple of friends and I are going to the beach tomorrow probably around 1 pm ish and I'd liked for you to come." Zuce bats an eye at Avdol and they stare at each other before Zuce's eyes look up. A low mumble comes out of Zuce's mouth and her eyes reset on Avdol's.
"Sure. But I can only go until around 3:45 ish."
"Cool." Avdol pulls out of her pants her phone, and a bright light emerges from it. Her thumbs tap onto the screen before she puts the phone away and stares at the TV. Zuce sees four-legged creature jump onto the couch before walking over to Avdol's head and lying down near her shoulders. It's their dog, Scooby, a golden retriever mixed with a shepherd and a Labrador retriever; a golden cocker. Avdol rubs his head, and Scooby rests his eyes.
*Next afternoon*
Tolkien Beach
"Woah!" A couple of people run down the sands. Beach balls, umbrellas, towels, containers, they have it all in their hands. But these people aren't 'people'; in the group are two Namekians, three Majins, and then there's Zuce and Avdol.
Zuce stabs the base of the umbrella into the sand and holds it as she slides it in before letting it go. It holds at an angle but just enough to block the sun and provide a big shade. The umbrella's colors reflect a rainbow color onto the sand and a bit further away from her; a female Majin does the same. They lay out a big blue and white-stripped blanket and it's big enough to support five people.
Zuce and the Majin both lie on the blanket and use both of their arms as pillows. Consider it their first vacation in months from being a Time Patroller and working for Supreme Kai. There has always been a need for one of the people from the group to deal with an issue or situation that involved a fink in history.
"So, whose idea was this, Wuu?" Wuu turns. Zuce is wearing a two blue piece bikini while Wu has on a black one-piece swimsuit. The top part of Zuce's bikini reveals a good view of her size C breast and part of her butt as well.
"It was more or less a group plan, but it was Gastro came up with the idea." Wuu nods towards the medium green Namekian in the water splashing Avdol. "Mollusc, Suu, and Zuu begged the Supreme Kai that they'll work extra hard should she give them a day's rest. Avdol and I just got all the supplies."
"And I joined along."
Wuu gets up and lends a hand to Zuce.
"Come now, we're wasting sun just sitting here." Zuce can only sigh before grasping Wuu's hand.
"Yare yare daze, you people are energetic about vacation." Zuce and Wuu run into the water and they join with their friends.
A montage appears with photos of them having fun together. Photos of them splashing water against each other, of them eating together despite Zuce have her own table to consume all of her food, of them having a wrestling match. These moments will have good memories to look back on and to cherish as the last photo is of all of them together, hunched over with a smile as the camera flashes.
The montage ends with three people on left and right and a net in the middle. Volleyball. On the left, there's Avdol, Mollusc, and Zuu. For the right, there's Zuce, Suu, and Gastro.
"Alrighttt, here are the rules for beach volleyball.
No energy shots/blast, nothing that you can shoot out of your head/head/body.
No transformations.
No flying/teleporting/disappearing.
No weapons of any sort.
No other body parts except for your arms and hands can hit the ball.
First team to 6 points wins!
Other than those rules, everything else is permitted. Avdol's side will serve first." Wuu throws the ball to Mollusc and he grins. Wuu blows the whistle and Mollusc has his right knee forward and left leg firmly plants on the ground.
"Begin!" Wuu blows the whistle again, and already the ball is high into the air.
"I got it!" Suu jumps tremendously high, and she reaches to where the ball is falling. Her fingers and hands join and Suu smacks hard enough to create a boom. The ball zooms towards Zuu's right and she forms her hands together and has her left leg back and her right forward. It almost certain that the ball should have been on fire, but the quality fabric inside prevents it from doing so. It was custom made for super strong beings could play without the ball being destroyed in the process.
The ball and Zuu's hand clash as she tries to overpower the ball's velocity from Suu's hit. Powerful winds emerge. The sand is being piled on by the friction from her feet as she digs deeper.
"AH!" Zuu successfully launches the ball back. The ball launches high and above the net. It zooms back to the other side but a thunderous boom comes from her right. Zuu looks over to see a massive wave of sand being projected towards the back and she jumps out of the way and so does her teammates. The massive sand wave crashes into the other sand.
The air clears and a huge crater forms from the impact and in the middle is the volleyball. Everyone stares at where the ball landed; the looks on their faces, widened mouth and eyes. Zuu glances up to see Suu descending to the ground, but another figure stands ahead of her. It's Zuce. Suu notices Zuce near as well as they both descend. They reach the ground but still staring at Zuce. Did she already know where it was going to be? Confused looks seemed to be on everyone's faces except for Zuce who only blinks around.
Shit, forgot that training with Whis was done privately and barely anyone else knows about it.
"What's with you guys? Can we get back to the game? It was just luck that I was in the air at that moment. Haha…" Zuce puts her arm around her head. The fake laughter and present attitude, all as a source of a distraction of what happened. They seemed to snap out of their daze and let out a smile. It worked.
Wuu blows the whistle.
"2 points for Suu's team!" Zuce returns back her position in the back and Suu nods off to Zuce. Better not show off my power again. It's just annoying to be consistently questioned about what's my training routine and what I eat and all that stuff.
3:33 pm
Avdol dives for the ball as it zooms towards the empty space. She pounces forward and uses her left hand to shorten the gap while having her right-hand stick out.
*Boom*
Two powerhouses clash over which is the more dominating as heavy winds push from the clash. Avdol shouts as her right-hand pushes the ball away from the ground. A smirk appears on her face.
"Torya!" The ball launches high into the air from Avdol's strength.
"Leave it to me!" Gastro jumps after it and sees the ball descending at a fast rate. Gastro clenches a fist and draws it back.
"Here, have at thee!" His fist comes into contact, and the ball tremendously booms to the other side. Seems like he put more power into it as the ball's spin is generating winds that could be clocked over sixty miles per hour. The net itself is being drawn away from the amount of pressure. But the rest of them are unfazed by the power shown. Instead, Mollusc smiles and runs towards where he predicts the ball will fall.
"I've got this!"
He jumps to where the ball is going to fall at and instead of a closed hand; it's an open palm as the ball reaches ever so close to him.
"Thanks for that!" The ball is in position. Zuu and Zuce open their eyes to realize that this was part of the other team's plan. They quickly pick up their feet and try to run towards where Mollusc's going to spike it. But it was to no avail. Mollusc spikes the ball down into the sand, and the ground explodes from the impact. A whistle is blown and Wuu stands up.
"The score now is 6-4! Winner, Avdol's team! But the matches are Zuu's team with 7 wins and Avdol's with 4. The true winner is Zuu's team!" Zuu holds up a fist and Zuce checks it with her own. A brand of companionship. Gastro lands on the ground and holds his hand in the air. A high five. Zuu and Zuce high five him and they turn towards Avdol's team.
All of them walk towards the sidelines as another group fills in the missing slots. Suu gives a thumbs up and a smile along with it.
"Nice game. We'll get you guys next time."
"Heh, sure you will."A group laugh comes from all of them. They all head over to where the umbrellas are and plot their butts onto the towel while Zuce is standing in the sand with Wuu. It's been a good two hours and thirty minutes of fun with the group. Zuce pokes Zuu's shoulders and Zuu turns her attention towards her.
"Can you check the time? I left my phone at home." Zuu gets up and walks to one of the containers. She lifts it up and underneath is her phone. It has a silver case with several stickers of well-known people around here. Her thumb pushes on the big circle in the bottom middle.
"It's about 3:37."
"Ah, it's time for me to go then. Change of clothes and off to Supreme Kai."
"Damn, we were hoping you'd stay longer, but I rather not make her wait. She can get pretty chatty if you do so." The others nod in agreement as flashbacks happen of them arriving a second later to their first mission on the job. They all shudder at those moments in their lives. Zuce gets up and walks to the second container and pops it open. There inside is her usual combat gear of a red flowing sleeveless Gi vest with a long backside and her other gear.
She waves to her friends goodbye. They respond with a wave as a white aura surrounds her body, and she jets off behind them; kicking up sand in the process as they cough and wave sand particles away.
She lands on the steps of her house and walks through the door after opening it. She shuts it.
"Shower first then to Whis. Maybe today, I'll land a blow on him." Bold statement as she's been saying that ever since she started training with him but never has. Every day she is determined to improve beyond what she is at currently. Zuce dreams of one day having the ability to go toe to toe with Beerus and then Whis as the Saiyan blood in her boils. The excitement of one day fighting a God of Destruction in all his might is what every Saiyan dreams of. She has only tasted about supposedly to what he has said to her, "About 25 percent of my power." This was when she was in Mystic. The gape between Mystic and Super Saiyan God was tremendous as she experienced not the energy but the pure raw pressure from the fight with Goku in that form.
*15 minutes later*
Zuce comes out with her attire on. From side to side, she cracks her knuckles, back, feet, arms, and kneecaps. Extending her legs out and stretches each one; she's determined as by all the other days to keep up with Whis.
"Alright, got my phone this time and my wallet this time."
*BOOM*
Immediately, Zuce feels a tremor beneath her feet. Scanning across the ground, the whole city is shaking. She stabilizes herself, but car alarms go off and pets start to either bark or meow. Several people in the street also stop their current activity. But it sounds like an explosion. A huge gust of wind hits her left side and she turns her attention to see that it's true. A giant red shell emerges from the main parts of Conton City. It's huge.
Soon it shrinks. But all that's left is a giant crater.
Her mouth is left wide open and her eyes bugle, beads of sweat begin to form and travel down her cheeks. An attack?!
It appears. A huge Ki. Her hands, no, her body trembles. This isn't any ordinary Ki as well. Never have I felt this power before. It's brand new. No Time Patroller can have that immense amount of energy despite the transformations each race has. The Golden Status for the Arcosians is a fraction of Golden Frieza's power.
This ki, this ki isn't normal and Zuce grips her hands. She swings open the door to her house and runs inside.
"Scooby, here boy!" The sound of paws fills the house as the golden dog runs. He barks at her and chases around his tag. Zuce quickly picks him up and runs outside. A door slams to her right and she turns around to see it's her neighbors, the Creeds, Manin and Credo. A woman is holding her two daughters by the hands as she has a questionable look along with her husband who is cradling a baby in his arms.
Zuce runs up to them, and they see her running.
"What's going on?"
"I… I don't know but there's a huge energy coming from downtown. I plan on going there but it's not safe here. Spread the word for people to evacuate to the Supreme Kai's place." She puts Scooby down, and he shifts his head. Kneeling down, she rubs at the base of his skull and grabs his other leg.
"Follow them, not me, them, not me." Her fingers point to herself but another finger waves to signal 'No' but to the Creeds. And to put more emphasize, she jabs her finger at the family.
"Scooby!" One of the daughters, Serah, points at him and reaches out her hand to pet Scooby. He immediately reacts to accept the warm gesture. He barks as a sign of acceptance. One of his favorite things is to be petted at that spot and he melts under the comfort.
Zuce stands and places a hand on the Credo's shoulder.
"Take care of them all." All he can do is nod as he understands. The fear within her eyes tells the fear of the unknown of this possible threat. It's one of the strongest fears. Rarely have there been direct attacks on the Time Patroller's home-base as it is protected by thousands of good deeded Saiyans, humans, Namekians, Maijins, and Arcosians.
A white aura surrounds her body, and she jets off faster than she has before. This energy, it has a… a… godly complexion to it. Only a select few have this power but none of which I can pinpoint. Goku and Vegeta are off with their families. Beerus is napping while Whis must be waiting for me. Supreme Kai is on the Look-Out with Dende and Mr. Popo. Who is this person? Zuce clenches her fist as she zooms by the suburban houses and soon leaves the area.
Soon the scenario changes to more of a crowded part of town. As she glances down, she sees people fleeing for their lives as more explosions go off, roughly the same size or bigger than the first one. These people have nothing on them except for the clothes on their backs and whatever is in their pockets.
"Everyone, get Supreme Kai's or leave this city!" They all hear her voice and trail alongside the sidewalk. Cars speed down the highway as fast as they can. Roughly over 200,000 people live in Conton city and the Kai's house is pretty spacious to hold the number of people fleeing.
Damnit, I hate how often situations put people in this position and the panic ensues is another shitty part to deal with.
As she gets closer to the explosions, something catches her eye. She powers off for a second and her eyes widen. Destroyed buildings, streets, signs, all this destruction but no. That's not what caught her eye.
It's the number of dead Time Patrollers on the ground.
Oh my god… The stacks of Time Patrollers spread throughout the area. Bodies of all the races are everywhere. Some are missing an arm, a leg, or both while the other lifeless bodies look like a blast behind the back or from the front killed them. Blood is leaking out of the wounds and filling the streets. There are pants and shirts in the piles of bodies but looks like no one wore them except… except for the Maijin race.
Most of the bodies have their mouths open but the pupil gone from their eyes. They died screaming in pain. Some died on top of each other while others are buried in the concrete, ground, or building.
All she could do is grind her teeth together and clench both of her fists together. Their souls will be judged by King Yemma. A white aura surrounds her again and she zooms off to where the large energy pool is.
Fury
Rage surrounds Zuce's mind as she thinks of many ways of dealing with this threat. Her thoughts are filled with only about how to deal with the person in the most excruciating way. This isn't just an attack on her companions but rather on the bonds of which she shared with the Time Patrollers. Now they're gone and the bonds are broken, never to be able to be forged again.
This side, she has rarely expressed true hatred towards an individual. Rarely does this emotion come into its full glory but at this moment and time; it's out for the whole world to see. Pure hatred is uncommon among the races, but those who wield it have terrible desires to inflict upon their target or targets.
But, this isn't the true emotion that is coursing through her veins. This emotion is more of a first reaction then comes the stronger one.
Sadness
The weather changes as clouds begin to mesh together. The sunlight is no sooner anywhere to be seen or felt by the people or by Zuce. Thunder emits and they are big and loud.
As she continues to fly, more bodies litter the streets of Conton but she can't do anything but fly by without sparing a look. Beads of water begin to fall down and hit the ground. But it's not raining. Those beads, those beads of water are coming from someone, not something.
Tears pour out as she doesn't wipe them away. She bites her lower lip as it partly retracts into her lips. Zuce makes a clearing sound with her throat but to no avail. Instead, it comes out to be a 'shrrr'.
Those people lying on the ground, she is getting flashbacks of those who were her friends. Flashbacks of those who fought by her side, of those who eat beside her, of those who she would meet on a daily basis, but now, they are gone. The only thing left is a lifeless corpse. More flashbacks come in flaming buildings with dead bodies all over the street. But the scene doesn't look like Conton City. The bodies are much smaller.
Soon, her vision becomes blurry. Zuce stops for a moment and raises her hand. She wipes away the tears in both eyes. I have to stay strong, for all of them. Once more, the white aura surrounds Zuce and she continues.
The source is nearby and it is strong.
Zuce sees two figures off in the distance and she presses on. The figures soon become clearer as she sees the two individual's garment. One has a grey Gi with a red outline and black sleeves with white boots. His skin is green and his spiky hair is white. On his ear, Zuce can see an earring that has a green bulb.
The other person has a white and grey jacket with jeans and brown boots. He has a scanner and with long golden hair. He has no eyebrows but the length of his hair reaches midway to his back.
The green skin person has the black hair by the throat and the black hair person is losing oxygen fast. Her eyes widen as two familiar faces and names come together in her mind. She presses two of her fingers to her forehead and her body vanishes.
Only for her to reappear above the green skin person with both of her feet ready to dropkick him.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Before anyone else could say or do anything, her boots nail Zamusu in the head, sending him flying towards a building and crashing into it and several more behind it. In the process, he drops Xenion, and Xenion regains his breath while on the ground. He spats out spit while coughing some more. As he looks up to his savior, his eyes widen.
"You're here…" Zuce lends him a hand, and he takes it. Zuce pulls him up and pats him on the back. His clothes are torn in various spots, scouter has a large crack going through it. She turns to face where Zamasu crashed into.
"So, it's Zamasu that's attacking the city…" Xenion holds his hand over his left rib cage. How long has he been fighting against Zamasu?
"It's not just that. He's in his final form. Merged with Goku Black, he's unstoppable! Zuce, we have to retreat!" He places his hand on her shoulder, but she instinctively brushes it off. Xenion scuffs at her. "What do you think you're doing? He's more powerful than Demigra and Merged Mira! My team and I didn't stand a chance as he slaughtered us all. The only thing useful is that we destroyed the Halo of his and that took the lives of almost all of my team. We need to retreat!" All he gets in response is a stare from Zuce as she walks towards the building.
"Zamasu needs to be here if not, more casualties will happen. He will rampage all throughout Conton." Xenion can only shake his head in disbelief. Stubbornness isn't her strong suit for as long as he has known her. Why the change of character now? It's unlike her to have this change.
"Damnit, Zuce! It must be your Saiyan blood that you would enjoy fighting someone like him? Your life for a mere fight with some fused Kais?" Zuce doesn't turn to face his criticism but continues on. She stops when she's a foot away from Xenion. She takes a deep breath in and out. Only her head looks back.
"It's because I have more to fight for. This isn't for my selfish need of my love for fighting, but rather it is my duty to protect history and this city from threats."
"Is this some pride moment?" All she does is shake her head.
"No…" Zuce looks back to the ruined city. "This city is what offered me the change of life. For all the years I've lived this place, it has offered me some of the best people to be around and best food to eat. I enjoy spending my time around here, the vivid places I could visit, and all that some stuff. Fighting seemed to always be my calling but once I was here and with everyone else; I realized it wasn't always. I felt as if I could settle down here. I think I have… But now, we're wasting time here arguing! Just go! Come back with Whis and Beerus." Xenion taken back of what she said has a face of realization. This fight isn't between two fighters but rather the fight for a way of life. Xenion can only meet her stare. He brings out a chuckle before nodding.
"I see… don't you dare die on me." Xenion turns around and lifts himself in the air.
"Wait, have one of these." He turns around to see something in Zuce's hand. She throws it, and it's a small little bean. He catches it no problem and sees that it's a Senzu bean. He noms on it and feels his strength returning while his wounds disappearing.
The area suddenly shakes, and they can feel it. He's back. A purple aura erupts from the ground and soon spreads to the surrounding buildings, consuming them. Xenion rockets off, and Zuce takes a deep breath in and readies her stance.
Right foot forward, knee out, left leg back and foot planted horizontally, left arm in front and right arm to about chest area. And bend the knees for a good posture.
The building in front of her collapses and there stands a demi-god. He has his arms stretched out as he walks into a clear line. But one of his arms, no, half of the body is purple.
"Who dares desecrates their god with their feet? It is a sin to touch god as he gives you grace and forgiveness!" His eyes set upon Zuce. He points. "You must have done it. For that, the punishment is death!" He holds his hand and a dark purple energy fills his hand. Thrusting it forward, a beam shoots. She prominently jumps out of the way as she takes to the skies as another blast tries to hit her. A purple aura surrounds Zamasu, and he quickly catches up to her. His massive purple right hand extends and tries to grab her boot, but she brings down her arms and a blue energy ball with them. It creates a massive blue energy which pushes Zamasu back down, and his arm grabs the air. Using the recoil, Zuce flies back and her boots land on the frontal side of a building. She jumps up and stares directly.
"And what is the punishment for this?" Zuce lets out a deep shout as a blue aura consumes her entire body. Blue energy flows all around her body while a while aura is in the middle. A blue light appears and shoots up to the clouds, parting some of the clouds but not all. A ray of sunshine hits the transforming Zuce as she continues to dig deeper and deeper all the while she is shouting. The blue aura consuming her soon has a crack on the bottom near her boots and more of them appear. The vast area around them begins to shake tremendously. Car alarms go off and the people in the Kai's place huddle together as they feel the earthquake. As more of them crack off and disappear into the air, Zuce roars and the rest of them break off.
Legend has it that five Saiyans gave their powers to another one of their brethren to stop an ongoing war. The power bestowed upon him was said to rival that of a god's and pecked an interest of one. What if there was an upgrade to that? A form that truly presented a challenge and awe to those who witnessed it. That transformation is known only to a few as
Super Saiyan Blue.
Zuce, once with black hair and pupils, now has her blue hair spiked up and her pupils are dilated blue.
"HAAAAA!" The blue aura around her flares up, and she stares down on god. She checks her hands at the new transformation and forms a fist. With one foot on the edge of the building, she leans on her thigh and cast a shadow on Zamasu.
"Super Saiyan Blue. A form that which transcends Super Saiyan God. So, Zamasu, answer the question… what is this punishment?"
Zamasu grits his teeth.
This is a match for the scholars to write down. A god versus a mortal god.
And that's a wrap for that chapter. Ok to deal with some questions and I hope some of these questions can be answered.
1. I didn't want to immediately have the 1st chapter be the teleportation one. It's been a common theme to do so but I wanted to pay homage to the world that my character lives in and that I wanted to encapsulate the world before they go.
2. The training with Whis started around 2 weeks after she killed Mira and the disruption from the Universe Tournament.
3. Not every question will be answered in my stories as I like to take the Dark Souls route as I see that as just unnecessary exposition for a character to say and unless they're an expert on it; what could come from a character's mouth could be wrong.
4. I don't think that every Saiyan is the same. It depends on the people they surround themselves with and how they interact I'm not fond of having Saiyan OCs who are just a copycat of Vegeta or Goku or anybody in the cast of Dragon Ball but rather take some elements from the race and develop their own taste while still maintaining core characteristics such as eating a ton, love of fighting, power-ups, but that's about it.
5. I was not referencing John Wick 1 and 2 *wink*.
6. The naming I had for the characters came off of my own playthrough of DB X2. The Native Namekians were named about something having to do with slugs or snails except Piccolo cause he was on Earth, the Majins were named with 'uu' and all I needed was a letter, the Frieza's race was based on cooling applications, Saiyans are too obvious should you watch DBZ, and human names were just shit I typed hoped it wasn't Western.
7. Avdol is a human.
8. In all of my writing, I like to put references from other works of literature as since by the obvious one. "Is that a motherfucking Joj-" *Whack over the head* Ahem, please go to number 9. *Points to a random spot* "Look, it's an enemy stand!"
9. Uh, what? I wasn't prepared yet to write 10 answers. Go back to 8.
Any questions you like to ask; feel free to PM or do a review on and I'll get to it.
