Previously on Dragon Ball Super: The Legacy of Son Goku
Vegeta and Cabba took on Cumber while Goku and Caulifla observe the battle with promise to not inference with the fight. Cumber braced against Cabba's most powerful Galick Gun and not only he survived it but is unscathed from the attack. Much to everyone's shock, he revealed he was the one responsible for the evil nature of the saiyan race of Universe 7. Despite knowing Cumber is using under 15% of his full power, Vegeta, in a furious yet justified rage, promised to make him pay for his evils.
The battle continues...Now!
Chapter 13: The Visit to Sadala! The Wrath of an Evil Saiyan , part 3!
Vegeta attempted to land a punch on Cumber, to which the evil Saiyan responded by dodging repeatedly, clearly being faster than him which is annoying him.
"You know, Princeling? If you actually had remembered your place, I wouldn't have to humiliate you as I am now."
Cumber shows Vegeta what he meant by humiliating him. He grabbed his fist and proceeds to drag him closer and kneed his stomach brutally!
"Gah!"
Vegeta spits his blood out on the ground, giving Cumber a sensation of sadism and the prince is going to be on the receiving end of this beating! Cumber headbutted the Saiyan prince and released his fist, looking on as the prince stumbled backwards from the devastating headbutt! How strong is Cumber, truly? Vegeta looks like a weakling before him! Cumber swung his fists against Vegeta's face, making his face bloody and give his right eye a black eye, knocking him back.
"Wah!"
Goku looks worried and growled at Cumber's sadistic nature. He's torturing Vegeta in front of him and while he promised him he wouldn't inference with Vegeta's fight, he don't want to stand there and let Vegeta die. This monster is harming one of his best friends and he won't let it happen in front of him.
"VEGETA!"
He transformed back into his Super Saiyan Blue form and rashly dash into the fight, trying to save Vegeta's life despite knowing that Vegeta will be mad at him for inferencing with the fight.
Caulifla wasn't happy with Goku suddenly leaving like he did. What is that idiot thinking?! Why is he just rushing into battle?!
"Goku, wait!"
She transformed into her Super Saiyan 2 state and went after him to make sure he is safe. He's risking his life...for Vegeta? He's not only charming and is a very powerful martial artist, but he also highly value his fellow saiyan even if his fellow saiyan thinks of him as a simpleton. While it's a dangerous quality and potentially fatal, the fact he really cares for him shows he would goes far for someone else other than himself. It makes her happy deep down inside but it makes her frustrated at the same time since he's putting himself at risk too.
Cumber chopped Vegeta's neck, making him collapse on his knee, losing his Evolved Super Saiyan Blue and reversed back to his base state. The prince was clearly getting wore out from this beating. The prince's armor was halfway destroyed by the tortures he was receiving and his face was filled with his own blood.
"Princeling, I see your student is paralyzed by fear to even try to save you! Hahahahaha! I will break that pride and spirit before I kill you for sure then I'll kill him."
Cumber was looking at an unnerved Cabba, who felt as much fear as Vegeta had when he fought Frieza on Namek. Sensing an opportunity to strike, Vegeta tried to stand up and get in a punch.
"Haaaaaaaa!"
Cumber, seeing it coming, kicked the Prince's face, sending him flying across the land and thumped on the ground. As the evil saiyan walked closer to him, Vegeta struggled to get back up. The prince of all Saiyans will not give up!
"I...I refuse to quit! I am the prince of all Saiyans! Even you, Cumber!"
Cumber stopped his pace as he could look behind him and tell Goku and Caulifla was coming his way. He wants to ask the prince a question and he must know the answer to this question!
"You know you're vastly outmatched yet you still fight me and still try to fight me alone. Why is that? What is driving you this far to keep fighting enemies that can easily kill you in cold blood?"
Vegeta's mind shifted to the flashback of what happened 6 months ago. This is the exact same situation as he was in before but this time, he isn't alone.
(Flashback: 6 months before the current battle, in the Tournament of Power)
Vegeta in his exhausted base form was fighting against Jiren and surprisingly he was holding his own well enough.
"This fight is over. Yet...What is it that driving you this far to insist on keep fighting?!"
Vegeta grins and look at Jiren in the eyes. Clearly this emotionless hero doesn't understands.
"Heh. Who knows?"
This reply got Jiren's full attention. Though his opponent seems weak, his pride is most noted. He can't deny that it deserves his respect so at the very least, he is willing to listen to the last bits of words Vegeta had to give to him.
"But even if I were to tell you my reason to fight, not like an emotionless bastard like you would ever hope to comprehend!"
(Back to present day)
His mind shifted to Bulma, Trunks and Bulla. Their safety is utmost important and with this bastard around, they can't truly be safe! The thought of them being hurt by Cumber made him furious, no...hellbent on never forgiving him! He stood back on his feet despite being brutally beaten. His sudden standing made Goku and Caulifla stop flying as they sensed his power rising to a dramatic level and they see a sparkling blue aura surrounding his body, and his eyes took on the appearance of his Evolved Super Saiyan Blue's eyes. Surprisingly, his hair remains the same black color. He's somehow using his evolved power in his base form! It is healing his wounded right eye as he was able to open it again and renovating his body.
"Heh. You wish to know?"
Cumber gives him a confused look. Not only does his sudden appearance changes didn't make sense but his answer has an ominous feeling to it. Vegeta definitely is showing something new. He couldn't understands what is happening but he figured Vegeta is functionally different than he was a second ago, much like how Yamoshi once was before he became a Super Saiyan.
"I fight for a cause you could never understands. You, an evil cold-hearted bastard, could never understands what it's like to have something to protect!"
Vegeta charges at him, readying to prove himself once more as he's using what's left of his evolved blue's power to fight Cumber again! This evil bastard has nothing! Nothing but himself while he, Prince Vegeta, a son of royalty, have a lot going for him!
"Ha. Something to protect? Don't make me laugh!"
He easily caught Vegeta's fist and have him on a chokehold, lifting him high in the air. This prince powered himself up for nothing? Ah man...he hyped up for nothing! How pathetic!
"Something to protect? Since when we saiyans actually show concern for a single life other than our own? We conquered planets, we pillaged villages and killing innocent people, we took pride in those things! How can you pathetic lots even care for something so insignificant?!"
He squeezes Vegeta's throat slightly, making the Prince of the saiyans grasping for air and breathing harshly.
"Hahhhhhh…"
Cumber use the hand he caught Vegeta's fist with and charge a black ki sphere at his chest, preparing to end the prince of all saiyans once and for all!
"Beg for your life, Princeling. If you begs, I may spare you…"
Vegeta grins slightly and chuckled weakly, obviously finding something humorously in the situation before him. Cumber didn't like the laughter but he was curious as to see why he's laughing.
"Laughing? You might have gone mad, Princeling. Good, I truly broken your will!"
Vegeta's face turns to that of an angry one after laughing. What is happening here?
"YOU WILL NOT UNDERESTIMATE PRINCE VEGETA!"
Vegeta's body was covered in blue sparkling aura as he's surrounding himself with his own life force. A speckle of blue light surrounded him and Cumber, utilizing a very specific technique!
"W-what are you doing?!"
Before Cumber try to release Vegeta of his grasp, the Prince grabs both of his arms, to prevent him from releasing his grasp. What is he's planning?!
"You will not underestimate me! Begging for my life? No true saiyan would beg for his life! You mock my drives?! Good luck getting out of this, bastard because we're going to hell together!"
Goku noticed the technique Vegeta is trying to use! This technique is to blow himself up like a bomb! This is insane! Why is he doing this?! Sacrificing himself again just to defeat this menace!
"Vegeta?! What are you doing?!"
Thinking fast, Cumber use his free hand and chop Vegeta's neck, knocking him unconscious and threw him at a wall, with the prince making a loud crashing sound as he impacted the wall and seem stuck there. He reverted back to his base state.
"Princeling, your resolve impressed me. Too bad you're still too weak. You are all weaklings."
Cumber has his attention towards Goku, who prepared his stance as he finally got a chance to fight Cumber himself! He looks at the wall-stricken Vegeta, who barely have any Ki left in his body to even be sensed and Cabba, who is breathing heavily and looking at his unconscious mentor. Cumber will pay for this!
"Caulifla, stand back. This won't be pretty!"
He gave her a stern look, showing that he is very serious about her not inferencing with him fighting this menace. Why? Why can't she fight?! This can be training for her to work with him!
"I can't afford for you to get in the wa-."
She brutally slap him in the face. It's nice he is concerned and all, but she won't be treated like some child! She's just as mature as he is if not more...screw that, she's more mature!
"Caulifla…"
She put her hands on her hips and give him a disapproving frown. So what if he's a Super Saiyan Blue while she's a Super Saiyan 2? He won't be doing anything on his own!
"Listen here, Son Goku! We're supposed to fight TOGETHER! If I don't do this, I'm passing up the opportunity to get stronger! You saw how easily this bastard crushed Cabba's confidence and Vegeta's body! Besides, you're better off here than me seeing you dead. You won't be selfish with me here!"
Goku grasp the cheek she slapped on. That slap really stings and he understands her needs to fight. It's one thing to take turns with Vegeta because they actually compete over who gets more but with Caulifla...he have to learn he needs to share with her even though he never was good at working as a team.
"You're right, we have to fight him together. I have been selfish. Maybe I should share with you!"
She nodded and smile. He get it! He is willing to work with her against him, even though Cumber is using less than 20% yet easily creamed Vegeta without even transforming. If this guy is so strong as base, imagine him as a Super Saiyan or Great Ape! Cumber ran towards Goku and Caulifla, genuinely eager to fight both of them.
Goku saw some of his punches coming and dodged the majority of them with Caulifla kicked Cumber in the face, knocking him back. Goku landed a monstrously strong kick on his chest, knocking him back even further. Cumber's saiyan bloods feels even more excitement as Caulifla and Goku are exchanging fists with him, making him putting more efforts into his blows, making both Caulifla and Goku nervous as they are barely keeping up with his increasing speed. Caulifla instantly went behind him as Goku charged up two yellow ki spheres in both of his hands. Caulifla's right hand was filled with red ki. Both good-willed saiyans blasts Cumber with a barrage-like fashion, attacking him from two angles.
"Cumber, You will pay for hurting Vegeta!"
"Cumber, You will pay for hurting Cabba!"
Beerus and Whis teleported next to Cabba, surprising the young saiyan boy.
"L-Lord Beerus, L-Lord Whis! W-what are you doin-."
Beerus look at the boy with a slight disdain. Sure he shows respect towards him, but he dare call himself Champa's successor and Vegeta's student yet cowering in fear like he is now? It's an insult to both of them!
"Boy, do you not realize you're disgracing your master by acting like a coward when he needs your help? Now, Goku and Caulifla are fighting in your stead because you're too frightened as your most powerful attack proved useless to him. He'll go for you next if he kill both of them successfully."
Cabba looks down in shame as he watched Goku and Caulifla keeping up better with Cumber than he and his master did. Their teamworks might not be the best but goodness! They are coordinating their attacks well as if they were reading each others' minds.
"Their attacks are well thought-out and they're pressuring back Cumber to a degree. Unfortunately, the advantage they may have right now may not last too long."
Cabba turns towards Whis as he was explaining the situation of the battle in front of them. Cumber is getting pushed back right? Why is the advantage not going to last?
"Well, look at Cumber. He wouldn't just stand there and took the hit for nothing, wouldn't he?"
Cabba took a closer look at Cumber and notice a black Ki aura surrounding him, understanding Whis's meaning! He's allowing them to hit him so he can show off his powers! He have to warn them what's Cumber is up to!
The smokes dispersed as both Goku and Caulifla try to attack Cumber on the opposite side with a punch and kick respectively. Unfortunately for them, Cumber use his elbows to block both hits from the opposite side, surprising them.
"I'm impressed. You both are pushing me back slightly. Forcing me to use slightly more than I needed for the Princeling and his little student. However, 6% is enough to defeat both of you!"
Cumber widens his eyes slightly, sending both Goku and Caulifla back with a powerful shockwave and pay his mind to Caulifla, as if his impulse is to kill her. He'll see to it that she die and remain victorious as Goku can't touch him at the level of power he's using! He flew towards the direction Caulifla was sent flying off to.
"Girl, you will be fun to kill!"
Goku luckily stop his track and saw Cumber flying towards Caulifla! Something in Goku's blood is boiling as he saw Cumber trying to finish off Caulifla first! He is seeing red as he sense that Cumber is near her. He yells loudly as his body is surrounded by red aura that is surrounding the blue aura of his Super Saiyan Blue. His skin gains a reddish tint with the shades of his Blue hair getting lighter than it is normally.
"KAIO-KEN TIMES…20!"
Caulifla blinks her eyes as she noticed she was flewing off and saw Cumber above her, axe handling her to the ground. She crashed to the ground, losing her Super Saiyan 2 form as she was tired to take him on, but she wasn't going to quit. She slowly stood up back on her feet even though that axe handle really wound her chest.
"Man, that bastard really done a lot on me here…"
Cumber's hands was filled with black Ki, readying to end Caulifla's life as he directed it towards her. He was ready to fire it off when suddenly, a very powerful punch made him flinch and stumble backwards in the sky. One of his eyes noticed it was a Kaioken-enhanced Super Saiyan Blue Goku that struck his face with the most powerful punch he'd ever felt! At this moment, right now, Goku surpassed his 6% power! All this power...It made him wants to crank up a notch and show Goku how pointless this power enhancer is against him. His thoughts was getting interrupted as Goku's punches was getting more intense and getting slightly heavier!
"U-Ugh!"
Goku kneed his stomach first then teleported and kneed his face. Ouch! That was brutal on his part! He then kick him away and teleports behind him to knee his back. He lights both of his hands with yellow ki and blasts him away!
"TAKE THIS, CUMBER!"
Caulifla looks up at the fight and saw Goku slowly overwhelming Cumber as the evil saiyan couldn't find himself being able to react to Goku's blows as quickly as he'd like. Goku is fighting not in happiness and not in excitement! He is flat out fighting him in his rage! He is fighting more effectively but savagely than he is usually.
"Wow...Goku is actually fighting him to a better degree!"
Despite Cumber being blown away and he was damaged a bit, Goku wasn't going to let him up and quickly kicked him down to the ground! Knowing it won't be enough to finish Cumber off, Goku boost himself up even more, determined to defeat Cumber once and for all!
"KAIOKEN….TIMES 50!"
Cumber looks up at Goku and noted the insane power boost. Goku is definitely an interesting opponent full of potential!
"If that is your full power, come at me with everything you got!"
Both Goku and Cumber dash at each other, exchanging fists to an equal level with Cumber easily keeping up with x50 Kaioken Super Saiyan Blue Goku, which is a very impressive feat as Goku never comprehend how anyone bar Jiren can easily keep up with his power at its maximum level! X50 is a very big multiplier and while he has never use Kaioken to this level of power before and it is quickly taking a toll on his body!
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Son Goku, fun, fun, fun! You're absolutely fun! This is the FIRST time in a thousand of years I have an opponent that makes me use 40% of my maximum power!"
Cumber having that large of a jump in power to keep up with Kaioken x50 Super Saiyan Blue? Caulifla was shocked to see Cumber still having a gain over Kaioken x50 and only needed 25% of his power to keep up! She can clearly see Goku exhausting faster than he was when she was fighting him as Kefla and he used Kaioken x20. He won't last longer than a few more seconds! About five seconds is all he got left in x50! On top of that, if he try to go beyond 50, his body will give out and it'll explode upon trying to force itself to use so much power, leading to an agonizing death!
4….
Goku managed to land a swift yet powerful knee jab into Cumber's stomach! Cumber responded with an attempt to punch his face!
3...
Goku caught the attempted punch with his right hand and struck Cumber in the face with his left fist!
"Ah! You're even more powerful than I gave you credit for, Goku!"
2….
Cumber stumbled backwards in the air as Goku quickly kick him higher into the air with his left foot.
"DAMN IT!"
1….
Goku double axe handled Cumber back down to the ground, knocking him flat and created an extremely large crater.
"Hahhhhh…"
0….
Kaioken deactivated and Goku reversed back to his base state as his body couldn't handle the strain anymore and starts to fall from the sky. Caulifla looks on in honor as she noticed Cumber was getting back up albeit slightly wounded and he saw Goku falling from the sky. He chuckled morbidly as he aims the palm of his hand at Goku's direction and his hand was glowing black ki.
"I couldn't have asked for a better fight than what you have gave me, Son Goku. For a great saiyan warrior as yourself, there's no greater death for you to be given than for me to vaporize you at 35% of my strength!"
Just before he was about to launch his energy blast at Goku, he felt a left hook kick on his chest, unintentionally stumbling backwards as his blast narrowly missed Goku, prompting Caulifla to fly up to catch him. Cumber look down to see who was the person who kicked him and he saw a very determined Cabba with sharp and angered eyes, ready to fight once more!
"Ah, isn't it the apprentice of the weak Princeling! You? Intending to fight me again?! What a joke. A VERY GOOD joke, at that!"
Cabba took a stance and frowned in disgust as he was preparing to fight Cumber again even if it means putting his life on the line.
"I will defeat you here and now, Cumber! I am not fighting for myself, not for Son Goku, why hell, not even on the behalf of Sadala! I will defeat you for my pride as a Saiyan and for the pride of my beloved master, Vegeta!"
"Oh...What happened…?"
Goku was opening his eyes as he noticed his head was laying on something. It was feeling like a soft pillow. What happened? Did he overcame his limits? Did he defeat Cumber?
"Rise and shine, sleepyhead. I managed to get your ass away from the battlefield."
At that moment, he woke up fully and stood up straight, but in a bit of pain. He turns his head and noticed he was laying on Caulifla's breasts! He jumped quickly! How could he not noticed sooner?! The saiyan woman was in her base state.
"I-I'm sorry, Caulifla! I didn't mean to!"
Caulifla wave it off and lightly chuckled, knowing he'd reacted like he did. She wanted to have a bit of fun teasing him and not letting him live it down.
"You enjoyed that nap, did ya?!"
Goku raised his hands up defensively but he was aching a bit due to Kaioken x50 strained his body to a point he can't easily move without feeling an ounce of pain.
"I-I thought it's a pillo-."
Beerus coughed loudly, trying to get their attention. He seems irritated at them joking with each other so lightly in the time LIKE THIS!
"If you both forgot, Cabba is battling for his life against Cumber and likely won't last long. He is going to need your helps. Seeing as Vegeta is still unconscious, you two is the best hope we got right now."
Goku was about to ask where is Vegeta when he realized that Vegeta was actually laying down near Whis's feet. They must've grabbed him while he and Caulifla was fighting Cumber. Trying to think of a strategy, Goku pull out three senzu beans from his gi and offer one to Caulifla.
"Caulifla, here. A Senzu bean. It tastes like a fish but it'll replenish you to full power and health! It can't heal illness though, but you don't seem sick so you may be fine!"
Caulifla hesitated slightly before grabbing one of them and place it in her mouth. She was chewing on it and swallow it with a disgust look on her face, probably her reaction to the aftertaste. Though she feels back at full power and as if she wasn't injured at all! Goku does the same except for the disgusted look and the senzu bean healed his muscle spasm and restore his ki back to full strength.
"You weren't joking, Goku, I am back at full power!"
Goku chuckled light-heartedly as he saw her feeling joy that she's back to normal. He looks on the fight between Cabba and Cumber and seeing Cumber easily trumping Cabba despite being injured by x50 Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken even if it's slightly.
"Caulifla."
Caulifla turns her face towards Goku in a curious fashion. What strategy does he have in mind now?
"What's up, Goku? You have an idea how to win against him?"
Goku smiles a bit and confidently nods. He has a plan alright! If even x50 doesn't work, he has only 2 strategies left and he'll be damned if he doesn't try either one!
"I don't like this plan and I'm sure you won't...but we're going to fuse!"
Caulifla was taken aback. Fusion? With Goku? She likes the man and all but this is very unorthodox! She know he likes to beat his opponent with his own power and she don't blame him for it. Hell, she likes to win with her own strength. Why would he suggest that method? He gave the last senzu bean to Whis.
"Whis, give this senzu bean to Vegeta when he wake up. He'll need his energy back."
Whis nodded as he got the instructions pat down and is clearly proud of Goku for saving the last one to Vegeta, prioritizing Vegeta over himself in case his plans against Cumber failed.
"I will do, Goku."
Goku turns his head back to Caulifla. He is clearly ready to fuse with her!
"Ready, Caulifla?"
She look confused. Of course she know she fuse with Kale with the potara earring but fusing without the potara? How can they do that?
"Oh. You don't know? I can teach you the fusion dance!"
Cabba barely was holding out against Cumber. This guy is still insanely strong even after fighting Goku's maximum power! Cumber knocked him down on the ground with a single punch yet Cabba still got back up and try to kick him. Cumber responds to the attempted kick by grabbing his leg, halting his movements.
"Is this is all you got? You're really are the weakest Super Saiyan out of your peers, even with a zenkai boost you got from that girl's rampage."
Cabba was stunned and speechless. This guy knew Kale was on a rampage?! How?!
"Any saiyans would know when a demonic saiyan is going berserk, boy. That's enough out of you. It's time I put you out of commission."
He crushed Cabba's leg, not only immobilizing him but crushing his bones too, making him unable to fight any further.
"Ngahhhhhh!"
He released Cabba's leg from his grasp, making the young male saiyan reverted back to his base state and unable to fight back anymore. Cabba hits the ground softly and Cumber prepared a black Ki sphere in his right hand to finish the job.
"Although you didn't put up much of a fight, you overcome your fear and fright just to fight me. That earns my respect. As my tribute to you, I will kill you while keeping your honor and pride intact."
"Fussssss-ioooooonnn HA!"
"Fussssss-ioooooonnn HA!"
A bright light blinds the present saiyans and spectators and slightly blinded Cumber as he turns his head to see the source of such a light. Normally, he couldn't be able to sense ki at all but he sense a vast power from the source of the light.
(On Universe 7's Earth)
Piccolo was training with Gohan at a wasteland as he was sensing unbelievable power from somewhere. Whoever possessed that much power is insanely strong and is multiples of times stronger than Goku in Super Saiyan 3 and potentially stronger than his last time using Ultra Instinct!
Gohan stopped sparring for a second as he too sense that insane power! How can he sense this much power and it doesn't even come from the Earth?!
"Piccolo, you sense tha-."
Piccolo instantly nods and sweats at that much power. How can someone be so strong?! Not even Jiren exerts that much power! Well Jiren could if he powers himself up even slightly.
"This power is insane. Multiples of times stronger than Goku even when he use Super Saiyan Blue with Kaioken x20. Whoever have that much power, let's hope they are on our side."
Gohan nervously nods as he hope the same. If someone of this magnitude of power exist, not even the combined combination of Goku and Vegeta will be able to witness their power!
(In Universe 11's Planet Netfiss)
Jiren was disturbed a bit from his mediation but still attempting to mediate despite sensing that amazing power from another universe. He was secretly impressed by whoever is releasing that steam of power but he know they're no match for his full power.
(In Universe 4 God of Destruction's domain)
Quitela was enjoying his video games when he was sensing a power coming off from another universe. It makes him choke a bit but he quickly calms down and chuckle. He was initially surprised but regain his composure. Powerful it may be, but surely is no match for him!
"Kekeke. Seems like something's going on in another universe!"
(Back in Universe 7's Capsule Corporation)
Bulma was changing Bulla's diaper as she felt something. She shouldn't be able to sense ki! She never even trained a day in her life nor know how to use ki innately but she is feeling something insane!
"What am I feeling? It feels...different than what I'm usually feeling! It is so odd…"
Bulla giggled cutely as Bulma lift her up after changing her diaper and she caress her precious daughter. She have her mother's hair and eyes but her father's forehead. She has almost no resemblance to Vegeta but she is indeed his daughter as the royal saiyan bloods course through her veins!
(Back in Universe 6's Planet Sadala)
Cumber try to not get blind as he is looking directly at the light. This power feels so breathtaking!
"YES! This could be an opponent greater than Son Goku!"
Cumber prepared his stance as he's ready for a new challenger!
What is this fusion? What is the result? Will it be enough to defeat Cumber? Tune in next time in Dragon Ball Super: The Legacy of Son Goku!
A/N: I know my first genuine fighting scene may seem lackluster but I try my best in writing it. Truly so, I am enjoying writing it and it took me quite some time to get it how I wanted.
