The week after the party, Sans, Undyne and Asgore left back for earth since they needed more forces to protect it, and Stryker, Toriel, Alphys and Asriel stayed with us. During the months, the monsters stockpiled on enormous amounts of monster food to help us, and Alphys improved and expanded the medical bay to now hold up to 100 soldiers and heal most wounds within an hour. After the others left, the king made an open broadcast to Zoltris, and boy was it a good one. The entire planet gathered around to see the broadcast and the look on Zoltris's face. The image was projected on the wall, and once there was an answer, I saw who we were about to up against. Zoltris looked kind of reptilian and human; he seemed to possess natural armor on his chest that was a medium gray. Any skin that wasn't covered in armor was a light blue, that meant, some parts of his legs, parts of his arms, this crystal thing that was also the top of his head. He had horns that extended up and back, almost like a dragon; his tail was gray from the base, up until a blue tip about 3/4 of the way up. Even though he looked small, I could tell he had power behind him. He spoke with an elegant, yet stern voice, with a slight hint of an English accent, which seemed very odd to me.

"Ah, hello Cauliferon. How is my saiyan king doing?"

"Oh, I am just fine Zoltris, and yourself?"

"Absolutely splendid. Now, to what do I owe this unexpected call? I hope it's something good."

"Oh, well then I apologize. You see, we've grown tired of being under your boot, and we're finally breaking free."

"Pardon me? This sounds like insubordination. Tell me this is a prank. I would hate to destroy my most prosperous forces."

"Well, your assumptions are right, this is insubordination and this is no prank. Hear me when I tell you, that my people will no longer be dominated by your command. We will break free and end your rule once and for all!" Cheers broke from the crowd, which just made Zoltris even angrier; he was clenching his fists and making all sorts of frustrated noises.

"Fine! If death is what you choose, then so be it. You have one week, then I will arrive and it will mean war. You insects will know what fear is once I finish with you." With that, he hung up in a rage and cheers were just everywhere. The king let it go on for a few minutes, before silencing everyone.

"Now, even though we have announced it, we still need to prepare ourselves for the long battle ahead. Cherik, Cellio, come with me; I have something to discuss with the two of you." The two of us followed him into the throne room where we approached and waited for what he was about to tell us.

"Boys, the two of you are the only ones who are able to combat him. His power is incredibly high; the one time his absolute maximum power was tested, it was at 45 million, none of us can compete with that, but the two of you together can." We looked at each other, then back at him, with Cellio talking.

"If that's the case, then we'll need more training. Let the troops rest for this week, the two of us will be gone for an entire 24 hour time span."

"Whatever it takes to be ready, I encourage you to do it." We both nodded, bowed in respect and fired up the teleporter to go to earth. Once there, we didn't see kami at all, but instead, Korin was on the lookout, almost as if he was waiting for us.

"Hey Korin, what are you doing up here? Where's Kami?"

"Well, guess it's time to tell you the truth Cherik. Kami and I don't originally come from this universe."

"Wait, THIS universe? You mean there's more than one?"

"Yes. This here is universe 9, Kami and I are from universe 7. If you're wondering how we travel back and forth, the time chamber is a dimension that spans across all 12 universes." This was a lot to process at once and it looks like Cellio was having a difficult time keeping track as well. Once I got my bearings together, I questioned further.

"Alright, so the two of you travel back and forth from here to universe 7. Why?"

"Because, you and 7 are the only universes with functioning earths. By the way, Kami isn't coming back."

"Is he dead?"

"No, he fused with another Namekian back on 7's earth, his other half."

"There was another kami?"

"His name is Piccolo. Look, I don't have a lot of time for lore here, so I'll let you two in the chamber. Be warned though, Cherik, you'll only have 6 more months in here after you go in a year, there's a 2 year maximum lifetime limit."

"Alright, I can live with that. You ready Cellio?"

"Yep. Let's go." We both went in and so did Korin, who went off into the depths of the chamber, most likely to go to universe 7s earth, something I was ungodly curious about. I shook the thoughts away from my head and proceeded to train for an entire year, making sure to pack some senzus and monster food for guaranteed injuries. After spending a year in the chamber and nearly killing ourselves more times than we can count, we became much stronger than before, and began to learn how to sense energy, so we wouldn't be so heavily dependent of our scouters, though we still kept them since they're useful for communication and seeing power levels is still nice. Before we left, we cfelt something; it was faint and it seemed far in the distance, but it felt like two powers entering this dimension, each one much higher than our own, and the strangest thing is, one had a faint resemblance to the king.

We exited, now each one of us having a power level of exactly 200,000. We blasted off to the monster city, fired up the teleporter and went back to Cauliferon. For the rest of the days, we rested and prepared for the invasion, making sure we had squadrons ready and in formation. For the rest of the week, we spread our fighters all over the planet, but we kept a concentrated amount, along with the king, on a remote part of the planet, so that Zoltris knew where to find us.

The seventh day finally rolled around, and around mid-day, we saw the ship looming over our battle forces. Nobody moved a muscle, we all just stood there, ready for battle. Suddenly, we heard Zoltris' voice project out.

"It's really quite a shame for you saiyans. You always were my favorite soldiers, but as the old saying goes. All god things must come to an end. Now then, let's see how well you fair, against the entire army you fought for." Cellio then did the greatest thing ever and shouted a comeback I wish I came up with.

"You mean the spare tires?!" Suddenly, waves of soldiers, varying every kind, flew out from the ship and began to spread over the planet, like a swarm of bees that blocked out the sun, and suddenly, we sent our own swarm.

The first week of battle wasn't very difficult, especially with Cellio and I on the front lines. Dozens of soldiers fell by our hands and there were no serious injuries. Stryker both fought and healed, providing a double threat to the enemy. After the first week, the forces began to increase in strength; there were soldiers almost 4 times as strong as the first battalion, and when they grouped, they were extremely dangerous. For the next month, we created a war council that re-positioned soldiers and created new battle strategies to fight off the forces and to protect major landmarks. Within the month, luck seemed to be on our side, since there was a full moon that happened, and according to everyone else, one happens every 5 years. For one night straight, we had apes that were destroying forces, but our enormous advantage only lasted a night, then, it was back to base, but much more advantageous than before.

Every day, we rotated our troops, making sure that everyone was well rested and fed in order to keep fighting. Any soldiers that were no longer able to fight, were kept safe underground in bunkers until the battle was over. There were many long nights with sounds of fighting and explosions; the children of the planet stayed with the heavily wounded, away from the fighting, scared. I said this before, war is hell, even for beings like us.

The battle raged for another three months, Zoltris traveled to other planets to gather reinforcements and to heal his troops. On our end, we were kicking major ass, but still receiving wounds, and even though the rescuers saved plenty of soldiers, and Stryker and his healers were doing incredibly well, we still suffered some heavy damage, there were some wounds that even magic couldn't fully repair; the silver lining is that we suffered no casualties. By the end of the three months, their forces were almost completely wiped out, while we still stood strong, but around 1000 warriors would never fight again. Another week passed and their forces were beginning to retreat, we thought we had won; suddenly, the sky brightened far more than usual, and we saw why they retreated. Zoltris himself was standing on his ship, finger in the air, with a giant energy sphere ready to destroy us and our planet.

"I apologize, but this can go on no longer. You are all dismissed, permanently!" He fired the ball straight at us, but the odd thing is, nobody panicked, and I knew why the moment I charged a Nova Blast and Cellio charged a Solar Crusher. Cellio fired his attack first and mine boosted his forward and overwhelmed the giant energy ball Zoltris made; the combined blasts didn't hit Zoltris, but they did rip a giant chunk off of his ship which made it crash and explode, destroying the rest of his forces. We saw him slowly descend, looking incredibly pissed off and glaring right at the two of us. Zoltris slowly started to walk towards us, and while that happened, everyone flew away, and I mean everyone; there was nobody except the three of us for miles upon miles around. He finally was within 5 feet of us and began to talk.

"So, I'm assuming you two are the ones behind this mess?" I spoke.

"No, we just helped. But, if you wanna get to the king, you'll have to beat us first."

"So, the king sends children to fight his battles? How pathetic. Your measly power levels of 10,000 aren't even worth my time." Cellio and I looked at each other with a smirk, then powered up to our absolute maximum of 350,000 each; the war helped us to train and grow even stronger than before. Zoltris was taken aback by this, but then regained his composure, or what was left of it. "So, you managed to get a little stronger, no matter, you're still garbage." He slightly powered up to 500,000 and got ready for a fight.

The two of us charged forward, each taking one side of him, fighting in a chaotic, synchronized style, as it was our specialty. Zoltris actually had troble keeping up with us; we managed to deal a good number of blows on him and he couldn't keep track of the two of us at once. I assumed he got tired of our advantage, so he powered up, much higher than the two of us and simply flicked us away.

"You know, it's been a while since I've had to show more than one percent of my true power. Congratulations. Now here is your prize." He charged a red finger beam and began blasting us, we could only barely dodge and got grazed a few times by the barrage.

"Alright Cherik, you think we should show him what we've been saving?"

"I think we should." He lowered his hand and looked at us with curiosity.

"What are the two of you jammering on about?"

"You'll see, lizard brain." We both stood at the ready, and in an instant powered up into super, exploding Zoltris' scouter and surprising the hell out of him.

"So what? You changed your hair and eye color, big deal." I just chuckled and the two of us stood at the ready for a few seconds. We then charged forward, several times faster than before, Cellio flew past while I planted a fist right in his stomach and launched him into a plateau. He shakily got out and powered up in a purple flair and an enraged scream.

"No, you are below me, I am the mighty Zoltris and you will never defeat me!" He then flew at me, but Cellio kneed him into the ground; as he rolled, he flipped upwards and fired blasts at us. The two of us dodged and deflected with little effort, then some effort, then a lot of effort; he was powering up as the fight went on, so we just had to be faster. Once we got an opening, we rushed him and began to speed blitz him, making sure to land fast and heavy blows, I myself throwing in energy gauntlets. We finished by slamming him into the ground and barraging him with energy blasts. We landed next to the crater we created, breathing heavily.

"So, Cher. You think we got him?"

"I think so." But suddenly, I felt his energy, much higher than before, appearing behind us, we didn't even have a moment to react before he grabbed the backs of our heads and slammed us into a nearby rock formation.

"Honestly, I can't remember the last time I used half of my full power. I should congratulate you, but unfortunately, all I feel is disgust having to use this much power on lowly worms." We turned and flew away just in time before he blasted us with a beam. Even though our power was far behind his, we still kept going, hitting with what we could and weakening him more and more, and dodging incredibly well. Our battle kept going like this, seeming stable, but there was a slight gap, and that gap was all that he needed to split us apart, and in a blurred movement he kicked Cellio down and shot a beam, straight through his heart.

The whole world seemed to slow down as his head hit the ground and his hair went back to its black color. As he was gasping for air, he managed to say a few words to me.

"S-stop him. I kn-kn-know you c-can. Do it, f-for al-ll of u-u-us." His energy then vanished. I stood there, looking at the lifeless body of my brother, feeling an enormous mixture of emotions coursing through me, but above all, I felt unbridled rage. I let out a primal enraged scream and my power exploded much higher than ever before. I looked at Zoltris with murderous intent and slowly began walking towards him, watching the look of horror in his face.

"W-what happened? Who are you? Answer me!"

"I am a saiyan raised on earth. I was brought to my home to defend it, and I intend to keep that promise. My name is Cherik; and I, am a super saiyan." I rushed and punched him in the stomach, making him keel over and spit up some blood. He got up and let out a growl, he then powered up to absolute maximum and slightly buffed up.

"Now, you're dead." He began to fight, and for the first minute or so, he appeared to have the advantage. I couldn't dodge much, and my punches didn't do a lot of damage, but I kept going to avenge my brother. Slowly, I could tell he was getting weaker, hs power was fading fast, and I used that to my advantage. I began to fight seriously now, blocking more and landing even more solid hits, decreasing his power much further, until finally, he became weaker than me. I began to block with one arm, then grabbed his fist and began to twist his arm until I punched him away. I flew to where he was on the ground and punched him three times, in the head, stomach and chest. Zoltris futily tried to fight back, but he had just become too weak while my power stayed stable.

"This is it for you. Nobody will ever follow orders from you ever again!" I dodged one of his punches, grabbed his head and slammed his face into a mountain, where I then proceeded to drag it across the rock and throw him down to the ground. While dazed, I began to pummel him with an energy gauntlet barrage, embedding him five feet in the ground. For the final act, I grabbed his tail and swung him up into the air, then I charged the Nova Blast to end it all. Somehow he had the strength to move and charged a giant energy sphere to launch at me.

"No! I AM LORD ZOLTRIS, THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE AND I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY SCUM LIKE YOU!" He launched it at me, but once I fired mine, it was all over. My Nova Blast tore through his sphere like it was paper and vaporized him almost instantly in a scream of rage and pain. Once the blast dissipated, I powered down and collapsed in exhaustion. I looked over at Cellio's body and tried crawling towards him, but I was far too weak to do anything. I just laid there, looking around, then I saw the body of a soldier with his scouter still intact; I crawled over and took the scouter and called Stryker, weakly saying two words.

"Stryker...help."

"On my way, stay with me Cherik." He hung up and a few seconds later, I saw a group of 5, with Stryker leading them, flying towards us. Once he landed, he immediately gave me a senzu, which I gladly ate. I got up and ran to Cellio, foolishly attempting to wake him up and having my eyes begin to water.

"Stryker! Help him!" He walked over to me and knelt down, inspecting the body.

"I don't know if I can. My determination does allow me to come back, but I don't know if it'll work with others.

"You have to at least try. He's one of your best friends and my brother!"

"Fine, I'll try it." He placed his hands on Cellio's still chest and felt for something. "His soul is still there, it's fading fast, but it's still there. Alright, I hope this works." He put his hands to his chest and brought out a golden heart, from that heart, a small, bright orb began to form and I could tell Stryker was struggling hard with it. Once he thought the orb was the right size, he pushed it into Cellio's body, where he was enveloped in a golden glow and floated above the air; when he came back down, the glow faded and it looked like the process failed, but he then gasped and coughed up some blood. The others responded immediately and began to heal him, and within a few seconds, his chest wound was gone and he was just laying there, breathing weakly and coughing whatever blood remained. He weakly began to talk.

"I'm... alive... again. Was it... a dream..? There were... clouds... and others..."

"No, it wasn't a dream. But you're alive now, and I'm so glad." I hugged my brother and then called for him to be taken to the medical bay to rest up. I looked over at Stryker who was sitting up against a rock, breathing heavily. I ran over to him and knelt down.

"Dude, are you alright? Do you need something to heal you up?" He put his hand up to stop me from grabbing anything.

"I'll... be fine. Just... gotta... rest up." I nodded and waited for a bit to catch his breath, and when he could talk normally, he did. "Don't worry about me Cherik. I'm just extremely tired, I didn't think I could pull that off." He summoned out his soul, which now looked half gold and half gray.

"What happened to it?"

"It's nothing, I'm just low on determination, I'll replenish it with time. Until then though, I have to minimize the soul magic and I can't access soul charge."

"How long do you think it'll last?"

"Few days, week tops. Here, help me up." I grabbed his hand and pulled him up, making sure he didn't fall. "Like I said, don't worry about me. Go see your brother, he'll be waiting for you." I nodded and flew off towards the medical bay, but I had one question going through my mind. Just what was that power I unlocked to defeat Zoltris?

A/N:For those of you that probably still don't know, Cherik went super saiyan 2. So, the war is over and the space tyrant is defeated, but this isn't the end, I still have much more planned for our little saiyan hero. Stay tuned and hope you enjoy. Also, Zoltris was based off of my Xenoverse frieza race character and he has no suppressing transformations, just that one form, but he does suffer the same fate as Frieza, as in he can't stay full power for very long, otherwise, he woulda mopped the floor with Cherik. Also, the two powers felt in the time chamber were Vegeta and Trunks, so this is currently taking place through the cell saga. So, I will see you guys next time, peace.
