#18 was in front of the door where Lagableo had run off with Chichi. She smiled evily at the men below her as she played with an energy ball in her palms.

"Guys, please, I beg of you, don't hurt her," Krillin said. "I'm willing to bet that Lagableo did something to her."

"Weather he did, or he didn't, we can't get to Kakarrot's woman if she's blocking our path."

"I-if you hurt her, I'll fucking kill you!"

Their attention suddenly left #18 as they felt an extraordinary Power Level approaching them.

"You guys feel that?"

"Yeah..."

#18 held up the energy.

"Don't turn your heads from me."

Before she could fire the blast, the energy from outside walked through the wall, destroying it. #18 passed out from the mere exposure to the energy, as it was right above her head. The others were far enough to not pass out from the ki, but they definitely felt it.

"G-Gohan...?"

The young adult fell back into normal form, and he fell on the floor, dropping Merrin.

... What's wrong with me? he thought. I just want to be relevant, to be able to fight along side the Z-Warriors again... Everyone around me is perishing, and if I don't step up my game... I'm gonna loose them all. That pain I went through when dad died... I don't want to go through that ever again. I don't want dad to go through that ever again. Someone caught him. That's right, dad... No matter what it takes, once again, I'll make you proud of your son.

Before he completely passed out, he heard a deep soothing voice whisper in his ear.

"That's my boy."

"Y-your son's a Super Saiyan God!?" Vegeta roared. "How the hell did that happen!?"

"I don't know," Goku said in a proud tone, still looking at Gohan. "Maybe he went in the Hyper Bolic Time Chamber while we were at the Universe 6 Tournament."

"#18! Merrin!" Krillin cried. "What the hell happened to you two!?"

"Wait," Piccolo said, "it'd probably be a good idea if #18 remained asleep for now. Let's get her back to Capsule Corp for repairs."

Merrin was sobbing and clinging to the short man.

"Daddy!"

"Huh? Son-san!"

Goku was running out after his wife and the lizard.

If I defeat this guy, I'll be one step closer to reaching Monaka. Oh boy, I'm so excited! Hang on, honey. I'll be there in just a moment! And when I rescue you... you'll be the bride of the strongest man in the Universe.

"Let go of me!" Chichi roared. "Let go of me, you son of a-"

Lagableo pushed her against a wall.

"That is IT!" he roared.

His face became intimidating. His eyes were narrowed and his tongue was stretched so far it went above his eyebrows, and his pupils seemed to have shrunk. He stared at Chichi for about three seconds, scaring her into silence.

"I went through all the trouble of finding the vessel! I am going to continue this legacy through you, weather you love me or not!"

He dug his face into her breasts. Chichi cried out towards the sky in pain.

Her pain was caught off in a few seconds. Goku had popped in using Instant Transmission, and punched the lizard devil into the ground. Chichi slowly fell to her side, but her husband's hand was there in time to hold her up.

The moment after he caught her, he transformed into SSJBlue.

"Not only have you sexually harassed my wife, you also corrupted a friend of mine," he said. "And I haven't forgotten about the time when you hurt my son, my friend's son, my friend, and my best friend." He put her down gently. "You have to be punished, Lagableo."

Lagableo stood up and wiped the blood from his mouth.

"Even if you somehow manage to kill me, there's no need for me to worry. I already did what I needed to do."

"What?" Goku asked. "What did you do!?"

"Why the hell would I tell you that? Even though I have no use for her anymore, I won't let you leave my ship alive after you and your pals destroyed it."

"Ha, I guess I should've expected that. Alright... let's go."

"KAME HAME HA!"

The lizard jumped over his blast and dove towards him for a foot stomp. Goku blocked it and tossed him away.

Lagableo opened his mouth and shot out energy blasts. Knowing the blasts were stronger than his, Goku held up his for arms to block the attacks. The moment the final blast had hit him, Lagableo was up in his face.

He attempted to punch the Saiyan in the face, but he ducked underneath it and tripped the lizard.

"KAME HAME HA!"

That time, it hit him, causing him to scream.

Goku immediately jumped back and gained space.

"I'm just warming up."

"... Music to my ears."

The rest of the group finally made it into the room.

"Goku!"

The Saiyan didn't even turn back to face them.

"Lagableo!" he said. "You see that pink guy with the big nipples? Well, he's strong. The current strongest in this Universe. Way, way stronger than me."

"Goku? What're you doing, why're you bringing me into this?"

"So in order for me to be the strongest, in order to make sure this never happens again, I have to defeat you here on the spot." Goku got back into a fighting stance. "So don't hold anything back from me. I want to be the strongest I can be. So please... assault me to your heart's content."

"Yeah, you do that," Monaka said in a rushed tone. "Let's get her and ourselves the fuck out of here!"

Goku looked as if he may start crying.

"What a man! First he came up with a strategy to help me defeat you, and now he's saying 'I'll leave this challenge to you, and I'll get your wife to safety'! Monaka, you're a true hero!"

"... Yeah. Yeah! That's totally what I'm saying! Let's go, guys!"

"Wait, can you give me that strategy fir-"

Goku was knocked into the wall by Lagableo's tail. Recovering rather quickly from the shock, the Saiyan ducked before the lizard's claws could jab into his eyes. While on the ground, he kicked him in the stomach sending him flying across the room.

"KAME HAME HA!"

Lagableo ducked under his blast and used his claws to scratch his leg. Immediately after he tore a hole in his trousers, Lagableo stood up and bit his neck.

"Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MIIIIINE!" Vegeta roared as he kicked him off, already in SSJBlue.

"Ow... Thanks, best buddy..."

Lagableo jumped back up.

"Player number 2 has joined the fight."

Vegeta chuckled.

"Sorry, Kakarrot, but if anyone's going to be the strongest in Universe 7, it's going to be me. So how about we play a game? The first one to take out this lizard devil wins."

"I have a better idea, actually."

Goku bent down and whispered the idea to Vegeta.

"What!? Are you insane!? There's no way I'm-"

"Come on! Please?"

"Grr. Fine, but only as a last resort. Let's play my game first!"

"Alright. It sounds like fun, anyway-"

"Never take your eyes off of the opponent."

Claws dug into Goku's arm.

"SHIT! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SCRATCHING ME!?"

"Gallic Gun!" Vegeta roared as he blasted him into the wall. "Game on, Kakarrot. Don't slow me down."

Meanwhile,

"Wait!" Yamcha cried. "How're we supposed to get Chichi and Merrin to the ship? We didn't bring anymore space suits!"

"Damn it," Piccolo growled. "My clothe's change beam can't generate something like that!"

"Why the hell do you even have that thing?"

"H-hey! Monaka!"

Monaka was running towards the space ship as fast as his skinny legs could go.

Aw, fuck no, I'm not staying here! These people are crazy!

Piccolo grabbed him by the shirt.

"Where do you think you're going? You're not leaving this planet without us... Are you?" he sneered.

"Eek...! N-no, of course not! I'm just uh, going to see if there are any extra space suits in here for Goku's wife and the little girl."

"Oh. Well, I'd better come with you then... Just to make sure that this ship doesn't go anywhere."

Monaka whimpered.

"Well," Yamcha said. "Now we're here. Alone. With an android that could wake up any moment and kill us. ... PICCOLO, WAIT FOR ME!"

"Don't leave me alone!"

"Daddy," Merrin said, "what's wrong with mommy?"

"N-nothing. Your mommy's going to be fine. She and I were just, uh, in a fight." He heard footsteps running away from him, and looked up to see a beauty fleeing the scene. "Hey! Chichi! When did you wake up!?"

He flew towards her to catch her. The second he got close, she immediately swatted him into the ground. Krillin Owned count: 3.

I know I can't do anything. I know I'd just be a ball and chain. But, sometimes... the best thing you can do for someone is just being there. Even if I can't fight with him, the least I can do is cheer him on!

Back at the important stuff, both Saiyans were having an extremely difficult time keeping up with Lagableo. Both were pushing each other to the limits, and all that seemed to do was deprive them of their stamina.

"Vegeta," Goku panted, "I think it's time for Plan B."

"Shut up! Shut up, no! I'm not doing that agai-"

They were both knocked into the wall by Lagableo's tail.

"Come on. Please?"

Vegeta grunted. "Fine. I'll do it, but I won't like it."

Lagableo began to walk towards them.

"Are you two ready for your death? Huh? What're you doing?"

"Fu-sion HA!"
