Well then. I apologize for this being so late, I have been rather busy as of late. This was originally going to be half one chapter, but due to the length said chapter would be and the fact that I have not updated the story in a while, I decided to cut it up into two halves and deliver one to you guys today. If you cannot remember where I left off, Goku was battling the Trio de Danger. I hope you enjoy this chapter!


The Trio moved around Goku. Goku was currently in his Super Saiyan 2 form and bracing himself for their attacks.

"Take this!" Basil rushed in and attempted to kick Goku. However, Goku quickly grabbed Basil's leg and tossed him to the side.

Lavender appeared behind Goku. "Don't leave your guard down!" He screeched before striking Goku with a purple ki blast, knocking Goku down. However, Goku quickly got back up, relatively unharmed.

Lavender grinned. "And now we wait for… Wait a damn minute! You should be poisoned right about now!"

Goku got into a battle stance. "We knew about your poison ahead of time thanks to the exhibition match. So we created a technique to counter it. With this barrier, you cannot poison us."

Lavender narrowed his eyes. "Oh… Now that I look closer, there's some sort of faint white glow around you."

Bergamo charged at Goku from behind. "Just because you can counter his poison doesn't mean you can win!"

Bergamo swung his fist at Goku, but Goku simply ducked under the punch. Goku followed up by giving Bergamo a sharp kick to the ribs. Bergamo stumbled back and clutched the area where Goku kicked him, coughing.

Goku calmly looked over Bergamo. "The barrier also prevents you from taking energy from our attacks to power you up. You have to fight us with your own strength."

Bergamo growled at Goku. "Bastard… And what does that barrier do against Basil?"

Goku shrugged. "Nothing, really. He isn't as dangerous as you two."

Basil's eyes flared up. "Not as dangerous!?" Basil leaped up into the air and fired a ki blast out of his foot. "Shining Blaster!"

Goku rolled out of the way of Basil's attack, dodged a swipe from Lavender, kicked Lavender in the face to knock him away and fired a ki blast at Basil, sending him flying back. Goku then felt something powering up behind him. He turned to see Bergamo standing on top of a rock, powering up.

Bergamo thrust his hands forward. "Wolfgang Penetrator!" Bergamo fired a large beam at Goku.

Goku dodged out of the way, but the beam hit the ground and caused a large explosion, the force of which knocked Goku back into a rock. Bergamo took this opportunity and leaped at Goku from the rock. Goku quickly recovered and fired a Kamehameha at Bergamo, sending Universe 9's strongest fighter into a rock.

Up in the stands, Roh gritted his teeth. "Come on! Don't you three dare lose!"

The Trio regrouped and got into formation. All three glared menacingly ay Goku.

"Son Goku." Bergamo said. "You are the toughest opponent we have ever faced. But we will defeat you for our Universe!"

"Yeah!" Hop cheered from the stands. "Scratch his face off!"

Bergamo gave Hop a stern look. "I'm not a sadist like you! I intend to defeat Goku respectfully."

Over in the distance, Chappil scoffed. "Three against one. Very respectful of you Bergamo."

Lavender looked over to Chappil. "Mind your own business!"

Hop grinned. "Oh come on Bergamo, both of us have seen how wild you can be when you-"

Bergamo interrupted. "That is not what we should be focusing on now!"

Lavender and Basil gave Bergamo confused looks. "What's she talking about, big bro?"

"Nothing!" Bergamo had a slightly embarrassed look in his face.

Goku stretched. "So are we going to continue this or not?"

Bergamo nodded. "Yes, indeed we are." The Trio then simultaneously powered up to max power.

Vegeta vs Chappil

Chappil looked to his side and noticed the Trio powering up. "So the brothers are turning up the intensity?" He said. "I guess it's time for me to do so as well."

Vegeta sprinted at Chappil. "Keep your eyes on the fight damn fool!" Vegeta yelled.

Vegeta landed a punch upon Chappil to no effect. Vegeta repeatedly began to punch Chappil over and over again, still to no effect. Chappil turned around and smacked Vegeta across the face with his tail, knocking Vegeta back into a rock. Chappil opened his mouth and launched a fireball at Vegeta. Vegeta leapt out of the way and the rock where he once was got obliterated by Chappil's attack.

Vegeta put his hands together. "Galick Gun!" He launched a purple beam of energy towards Chappil.

Chappil merely stood there as the blast came flying towards him. The blast came in contact with him and the surrounding area was covered by purple light. The light died down to reveal that Chappil had merely been moved back a few inches by Vegeta's attack.

Chappil chuckled. "When the Trio told me about the fighters of Universe 7, they did not mention you. I can see why." Chappil's mouth glowed orange as he prepared flame. "Come on. Don't disappoint me!"

Vegeta gritted his teeth. "You don't want to be disappointed? Fine! You asked for it!"

Chappil launched a large stream of fire from his mouth towards Vegeta. Vegeta simply ran at the fire. Roh and Sidra chuckled from the stands.

"He's insane." Roh smirked.

Just before the fire made contact with Vegeta, he turned Super Saiyan 2, his power causing the fire around him to disperse, leaving the Saiyan Prince entirely unharmed.

"What?" Chappil was shocked.

As Vegeta closed in, Chappil tried to land a punch on Vegeta. However, Vegeta was too quick and sidestepped out of the way of Chappil's fist, bringing it straight into Chappil's gut. Vegeta then launched a ki blast, sending Chappil flying across the arena.

Roh grabbed his hair. "He was able to overcome Chappil's defense? How is this possible?"

Vegeta folded his arms. "Hmph. If you want to take me down, then send your very best. You'll fail either way, but you won't be embarrassed as much."

Chappil got up off the ground. "Well then. If you are going to transform then I believe I should do so as well. It is only fair."

Vegeta smirked. "You have a transformation?"

Chappil nodded. "Indeed I do." He spread out his arms. "There is a reason they call me the iron dragon!"

Just then, Chappil's entire body became wreathed in flames. His silhouette was all that was visible through the dancing fire, giving him a hellish look. Chappil suddenly began to grow in size, a deep laughter echoing through the arena as he did so. Wings sprouted from his back as he continued to become much larger in size. When the flames died down, Chappil looked more like a dragon than ever before.

Chappil stared at Vegeta. "Are you not impressed?"

Vegeta nodded. "Indeed, I'm not. I've seen more impressive transformations from kids than you."

Chappil glared. Vegeta smirked. Chappil leapt up into the air and fell back down, slamming his arms down upon Vegeta. Vegeta quickly darted in between Chappil's legs before he could do so, but the dragon slammed his tail down, crushing Vegeta. Chappil raised his tail to slam it down on Vegeta again. Vegeta quickly took this time to push up off the ground and move out of the way of Chappil's tail slam. However, the dragon had already predicted this and fired a blast of fire at Vegeta, with the saiyan prince being unable to dodge. Vegeta yelled in pain as the flames roasted him.

The massive dragon turned and raised his fist, preparing to punch Vegeta. He launched his fist forward at the pained Vegeta. However, Vegeta was able to come to his senses quick enough to dodge out of the way of Chappil's fist just in time. Chappil turned his head as Vegeta sprinted to the side in order to launch fire at Vegeta. However, Vegeta fired a ki blast that hit Chappil right in the eye, causing the massive Dragon to finch.

Vegeta took this time to dart forwards to Chappil's leg. Vegeta then let loose and began to rapidly punch Chappil's leg over and over again. However, just like before, Vegeta's attacks had no effect on Chappil.

"HA!" Roh laughed. "Good luck trying to defeat our Iron Dragon Chappil, you Universe 7 punk with the big forehead! Only our Bergamo has been able to defeat him in combat!"

Vegeta gritted his teeth. "Big forehead? I will eliminate all five of your remaining fighters just for that you green punk! I bet Zamasu took his sweet time with killing you in the future, you little-"

Vegeta's punches were then interrupted by Chappil swinging his fist down and smacking Vegeta into a rock.

"But how?" Vegeta yelled. "You shouldn't be able to land a finger on me!"

The large dragon lumbered forward and laughed. "I guess your transformation just wasn't enough. In the end,my base was stronger than yours and my transformation was stronger than yours as well!"

Vegeta gritted his teeth. "You dare!? Galick Gun!" He launched a purple beam out towards Chappil.

Chappil saw the beam coming and laughed. He swung his fist forward and simply punched through Vegeta's beam and punched Vegeta across the arena.

Roh laughed. "Yes Chappil! Eliminate that scum from Universe 7 and his big forehead!"

Beerus groaned. "If Vegeta falls third, I'm gonna kill myself."

Quitela laughed. "KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE!"

Heles rubbed her chin. "Isn't the Prince supposed to be the one to slay the mighty dragon?"

Vegeta heard all of these statements. "SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!" Vegeta screamed as he turned Super Saiyan Blue.

Chappil looked at Vegeta's Super Saiyan Blue. "Oh? What's this? You were hiding another transformation? Heh, it doesn't matter what it is. It will still be no match for me!" Chappil's mouth glowed orange as he prepared to launch a blast of fire.

Vegeta had a crazed look in his eyes. "I'm too old for this!" He yelled. "I'm going to end this now."

Chappil opened his mouth and sent his flames flying across the arena towards Vegeta. Vegeta pointed his arms towards Chappil. "FINAL FLASH!" Vegeta yelled.

A massive yellow wave of energy came flying out of Vegeta's hands towards Chappil. It easily eradicated the fire that Chappil breathed out. Jiren opened a single eye to check it out before closing it again. The fire was consumed in the yellow blast as it came towards Chappil. The dragon was too surprised to defend against it, and combined with the massive power behind the attack, meant that Chappil was blown off the arena.

Vegeta powered down as he watched Chappil disappear into the void. "That was annoying."

Once again, I apologize for getting this chapter out so late. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I quite enjoyed writing Vegeta's rising frustrations with Chappil and Universe 9. Any MHA fans here? This is unrelated, but today's episode was amazing, in fact, why are you reading this when you could be watching that!

As always, constructive criticism is appreciated.
