The Dragon's Quest
Another chapter for the first story of mine. Sorry if it took me so long but things aren't easy for everybody. Fighting scenes are no longer easy to write. And also Dragon Ball has lost a lot of my former respect because of Toriyama. And because the new "Dragon Ball Super" series is related to "Battle of Gods" and "Resurrection of F" then I'm officially cutting the ties here. From now on, Super Saiyan God, red or blue might exist in my stories but there's no God Ki. Nothing of those things exist in my reality. Bills and Whiss do exist because so far they have some usefulness to fulfill. But Golden Frieza doesn't exist and will never do.
Now let's read!
Chapter 25: Round Two
The two die-hard alien enemies from another multiverse looked down on each other, their vibrant set of eyes glaring invisible daggers. The air around them was already heating up without any of them even powering up as of yet. Their last encounter seemed to have put the two in a more balanced state of mind. At least for the few minutes until Hell were to break loose.
"You should have stayed down, monkey" Baby taunted to the again-aparated Saiyan. The Tuffle didn't know how his simian enemy had survived that blast. And now there was a significant increment in his opponent's power. Obviously courtesy of his Zenkai DNA. But Baby was going to make sure there wouldn't be a second time for Vegito to heal again. Specially if the accursed monkey was only ashes in the wind.
"I will never stay down while you exist, Baby!" Vegito said determined, his eyes going into emerald green right away his ki swelling from the inside of his soul "And now you better get ready!" With a yell of unimaginable power, the Saiyan easily went through his forms of Super Saiyan and then Super Saiyan Two. With more concentration, the widow-peak Saiyan exploded in golden light, transforming into his last mighty transformation of Super Saiyan Three. Rocks beneath the enemies bigger than loaded trucks cracked and floated up. Gravity failed around the aura of this two gods.
The long-haired Saiyan stood tall with lightnings firing off angrily from his body. Now the Saiyan was many times stronger than the last fight, thanks to the Zenkai and having his tail regrown. Hopefully, it would be enough to finally put his Tuffle opponent down for good. Too many had already been put under his thrall or disposed by him.
"Round two, bitch!" Vegito suddenly stated with a grin over his chiseled face.
Before Baby was even ready for anything, a super fast clothesline attack hit him right in the nose sending his body backwards for a million feet. In the split of the split of a second, Vegito was already on the flying path of his parasite enemy, delivering a kick up that sprawled the Tuffle for thousands of meters high in the air almost escaping the gravitational pull of the green planet. The Ascended Saiyan, however, sped of beyond light speed and was already firing an axe strike that hit Baby in the mid-section, now the parasite falling beyond blurring speed with a grunt of pain and impacting the Earth's surface with the strength of a colliding planet twice the size of Mars. The Earth nearly splitted in half by the planet-shattering impact, thousands of kilometers of terrain ground covered with deep fissures reaching into the magma layer. The cities over the world trembled to their foundations by the yet-small display of power from the Saiyan God.
The long-haired alien smirked briefly, looking at his own hands. As much as he didn't want to admit it, his tail been back had helped in giving him more power. His last Zenkai also counted of course but his old limb felt a tad more natural to him. After all, every Saiyan, hybrid or not was born with one. Both of his fusses had lost their own limbs permanently because of their respective circumstances.
But then again, Vegito wasn't them anymore.
The ascended Saiyan was still floating, feeling Baby's presence beneath the surface of the Asian continent. But before Vegito had registered it, a black bullet shot upwards head-butting the Super Saiyan Three right in the chin. Vegito's head jerked up a bit by the blow capable of disappearing a galaxy and allowed Baby to fire a front gut fist that bent the Saiyan forward in pain, followed by a right knee to the face. The Saiyan was sent spiraling backwards, his golden aura disappearing for agonizing brief moments. Recovering his bearings, however, the last-living Saiyan stabilized his flight with a ki cushion, just in time to brush a right hook to his own left, leaving Baby's guard open. Vegito hastily back-flipped, his white-booted foot kicking Atom-Baby in the chin, sending him spiraling up in the air, the resounding shock sending clouds flying everywhere. The long-haired Saiyan shot into his opponent his Godly aura returning full splendor. As the Saiyan drew closer to his enemy, however, the Tuffle smirked. The controlling parasite unleashed a massive pitch-black shockwave shaped like a dome, that halted Vegito's attack. The dome-like attack forced the transformed Saiyan to cover his face for a few seconds as the energy protecting his rival faded away from existence. The Saiyan stared at his enemy, who now had his black armor amazingly dented. That was something the Ascended warrior hadn't been able to do the last time they had fought just a few hours ago.
"Still nothing so far. Not counting the tickles" Baby said brushing with a backhand what looked like glowing blood from his also-cracked lips. Amazingly his black-glistering armor body had dents of the strikes he had received. However, his healing factor reformed the Dilustel back to its former evil splendor. The Saiyan frowned, his flashes of blue and gold lightnings running wild around his bulky frame, the power to destroy galaxies exuding from his very core. The Saiyan cupped his hands forward horizontally, the golden energy charging with annihilating power. Baby fired his own powerful one-hand blast towards his enemy, the sheer force of impact leveling the entire country and almost the rest of the east hemisphere in a collision of multiversal proportions.
As the long-time enemies settled the score, Zatanna had arrived inside the Watchtower. The place had the lights off, only the eery light from space coming through a few windows. Thanks to her training with her boyfriend she had her energy perfectly hidden. Despite the Young teenage heroes wanting to help her, the sorceress had to make sure the didn't get in the middle of this. Instead she had sent them to help people evacuate some of the closest places to Vegito's battleground. Not only was the Justice heroes possessed almost like the Light had done five years ago. But this time, their controller was using their vessels with ki manipulation. Meaning that thanks to Baby's influence all the heroes and heroines were capable of firing blasts of energy, something the teenagers had never fought before.
If that lasted until Baby's influence left their bodies or would remain was something Zatanna didn't care. She had to eliminate that accursed parasite from her friends. Baby could be as powerful as he wanted. But Vegito didn't have to fight on his own if she had something to say about that.
Looking around the gloom-looking Watchtower, Zatanna felt the many energy signatures of her controlled friends. Her hand glew blue with magic as she silently enchanted a spell. The Ultra Sacred Water inside the vessel in her hand, floated up and the with a pop sound the water was spread inside thirty different vaccines. All of them had a little trace of magic making sure that it could pierce anyone including those heroes with invulnerability.
With a wave of her hand, all the vaccines reached their targets after teleporting them. Zatanna felt many energies suddenly dropping. Obviously releasing Baby's influence from her friends had drained them.
She heard a thud on the room nearby, the closest power level there. The raven-haired magic user found the Dark Knight lying unconscious. A purple mist was leaving his body, his face contorted into a snarl behind the cowl. It lasted for a few seconds before the seizure stopped his body looking more relaxed. With a quick non-verbal spell, the sorceress brought the human in disguise back to consciousness.
"Hey Bruce, are you okay?" The sorceress asked her old caped friend. The Dark Knight stood up shakily rubbing his head.
"Zatanna" The Cape Crusader said tiredly. He rubbed his forehead. The migraine was really a bitch at the time "My head, I feel..." The sorceress smiled. Bruce was back to his gloomy self.
"Mind-controlled?" Zatanna finished for him "Yeah, luckily just for four months" From behind the mask, Bruce's eyebrows rose in shock.
The Dark Knight shook his head. He remembered everything. Since Vegito's arrival. Yet nothing he had said and done had been his own actions. He had lost his will before to strong enemies but never to such a deplorable degree. He felt ashamed with himself.
A hand on his shoulder brought him back to reality. Zatanna was looking quite seriously.
"Look Bruce, you can brood about this later" The sorceress's tone left no tone for a reply. Things were already dire enough and they all had to do something "Now we have real problems"
"How big of a problem?" Batman asked. Despite what he knew about Vegito and Baby thanks to his suppressed memories, any current event was something he would be heading into completely blind. Zatanna pointed with her left hand's index to the window. Through the Plexiglas the world could be seen with massive dome-like flashes of light in the atmosphere.
One second Bruce was looking at India. The following two seconds the blinding dome light happened and the whole shape of the country had morphed. It had been splitted into three pieces alongside the nearby countries. Even the Himalayas had seemed to disappear from the face of the Earth.
"That big" Batman's comment almost sounded like joke. If this was the end of the world then he could at least give himself that luxury.
The green-and-blue planet suffered in silence as the Gods from another universe clashed for survival. The nuclear-like shocks spreaded over the atmosphere flashing tendrils of thunderous static electricity into the void of space. God had to exist and care for Earth a lot. Otherwise no one could logically explain why the third planet of the Solar System still lingered in its place without disappearing into stardust.
The Super Saiyan Three parried a hook upwards with a left backhand, his right hand a dashing motion towards his enemy. His powerful karate chop was aimed for Baby's neck ready to puncture the bastard parasite. Yet the Tuffle wasn't so easily taken by surprise, spinning clockwise to his left easily eluding his enemy's attack. All of that while grinning all the time. His dark purple aura bursted alive and Baby suddenly flew through the air. But heading the opposite away from the Saiyan Three.
"Come back, here you coward!" Vegito yelled at his leaving enemy. Before Baby could get any further away, Vegito placed two fingers on his forehead briskly disappearing through the fabric of space itself. A split of second later the Super alien reappeared with his right arm outstretched to his right. Baby was still flying far beyond terminal speed before hitting his enemy's arm and halting instantly. All the accumulated momentum exploded in a shockwave of meteoric proportions, the night sky briefly turning into day for agonizing seconds. The oxygen around them blazed in minuscules and second-lasting flames before disappearing into nothingness.
Yet those little fact went unnoticed by Vegito, who proceeded to lift Baby's left arm and plunged his stiffened fingers into the place in between ribs. The new attack did leave Baby in a more painful state making the enemy unable to attack back. The golden-shinning Vegito descended his flight and clutched Baby's legs from his ankles. With a massive up-to-down lashing motion, the Ultra Saiyan sent the enemy of the Saiyans towards the surface of the Earth. The golden warrior didn't stop there, however. He chased after his enemy with his two blue-cladded legs fully outstretched. The two white feet hit with the concentrated strength of a nova star right in the Tuffle's Solar plexus. Baby barely had enough time to grunt in more than discomfort before his speed accelerated to the point of thrice the speed of light. The sheer velocity heated the air around the fighters, who landed hard on the Mongolian desert. The desolated place covered in a thick layer of snow was less than a split of a moment later washed over by a nuclear-like impact capable of decimating celestial bodies. The tons of millennial ice melted by the temperature that could melt even the hardest of metals. The tons of frozen water were rapidly evaporated into vapor, covering the night sky with newly-created clouds of rain.
However, for the two combatants there was no thing of interest there as Vegito kept pushing his enemy deep into the planet's magma layer. A second later, Baby hit the molten red liquid while the ascended Super Saiyan rose his left hand towards the drowning Tuffle signaling a stop. They were inside a red-glowing cavern with quartz crystal framed to the granite walls. The heat capable of burning steel was nothing less than a fire candle to the unbeatable alien, the brimstone invading his nostrils unable to damage his lungs.
"Big Bang Attack!" Vegito's voice could have been heard all over the world like an echo cushioned by a thick wall of lead. But his energy blast did more of the talking here, quickly shooting into the river of lava and impacting Baby with a concentrated amount of ki enough to atomize a tenth of the universe. The resounding explosion spread all over the green planet like a direct punch to the stomach from the inside. Many dead volcanoes over the globe turned back to life with massive eruptions of poisonous gas and even deadlier hot-burning magma escaping into the outside.
Vegito ascended to the surface again some parts of his attire burnt by the searing heat. His skin had a few burns and bruises but those had been courtesy of Baby and his hazardous blasts. No material in the universe, maybe even godly things had enough durability to harm him anymore.
The canny Ultra Saiyan's instincts kicked up as he quickly arched his back down narrowly dodging an incoming descendant punch from his Tuffle adversary. Vegito briefly flashed a grin to himself. He would not fall for such ruses. Baby had no visible mark of injury, other than a few cracks. And even those slits on him were already healing by his artificial metabolism.
Baby' smirked, however, considering how the two seemed to have started in even terms of strength. He had at first felt to be overwhelmed but thanks to Atom's constant energy supply Baby could power up. All of that at the same time that Vegito wasted energy attacking him. In no time he would have the complete advantage just like the first fight.
"Wow, look at you" The arrogant parasite stated gazing at his opponent. The fight had seemed to drag for a few hours and Vegito had started to breath a bit hardly by now "The savior of the damned seems a bit of an overstretching tittle" The Saiyan narrowed his eyebrow-less face into a display of anger "Tell me, monkey, how many planets are you willing to destroy just to put me down?"
"Like hell I'm going to let you put innocent people in danger!" Super Vegito yelled. His aura bursted alive in unison to his voice brighter than ever before the lightnings sounding like if they were breaking the reality around him.
" 'I' put innocent people in danger?" Baby asked almost like if he was been mocked around. His crackle made Vegito grew wary "Look around you, Saiyan!" The Tuffle extended his arms like a star making a gesture of supremacy "This is the deed dealt by your own hands" The long-haired alien took his eyes away from his rival though feeling at the back his warrior mind that he shouldn't.
The place they had started fighting had been desolated. Sure maybe a bit more than usual. Scratch that, this went beyond any kind of chaos the Saiyan had witnessed in his hundred-and-forty years of life. Earth looked unrecognizable for sure from outer space.
"Well, isn't this just a great picture?" The black-armored parasite asked rhetorically with his arms folded across his chest. His sneer gazed into the Saiyan's vibrant green eyes "Besides, without people here then who is left for you to save? It's not like your friends can help you even if they are no longer under my control" The Saiyan's forehead rose like if he had eyebrows to raise in shock. How did Baby know that they had planned to release the others from his control?
"But don't worry, with you gone, they will follow suit" Baby's smirk turned into a full-blown laughter of mockery "The Messiah of the world without disciples, how sweetly ironic!" Baby's maniac mirth was a nuisance to anyone's eardrums. Including Vegito's.
The blue-cladded Super Saiyan Three was done! This had gone far enough!
"Shut up!" The Saiyan's hand balled tight enough to start bleeding. The milliseconds of acceleration that even light couldn't keep up with was fast enough for the Ultra Saiyan to head back into action. Vegito's instantaneous fist was, however, rapidly intercepted with Baby's left hand, his predatory smirk never fading from his host's face. The parasite shot a knee hitting The Saiyan's guts and followed with a blurring-moving left elbow to the face, almost snapping Vegito's head off by the planet-cracking force behind the titanic strike. With Vegito hunched forward, Baby suddenly mid-teleported from behind and grabbed Vegito from his waist leaving the long-haired alien upside down.
"What the..." Vegito murmured way too late as the Tuffle shot downwards back into the cracked planet. With a cry of victory the Tuffle's black and purple aura impacted with his longtime enemy into a ruptured mesa terrain. The inverted suplex motion sent unquelching earthquakes over the devastated globe, more cities ran down to the ground by forces stronger than anything that had killed the dinosaurs. The Saiyan disappeared from sight into the depths of the world, while Baby rose his hands amassing a gigantic amount of purple ki at the surface of the crevice.
"Let's see if you survive this one!" Baby's triumph could be heard on each syllable. He aimed both of his black hands at the render that went into the planet's nucleus. The Saiyan would obviously survive the explosion of the planet. But not the blast that could obliterate ten galaxies. With a wicked grin of evil, Atom-Baby unleashed a hellish blast of unparalleled ki energy. The sheer heat atomized the nearby rubble of the abyss, the sky lighting up like if the Sun had gone pink over the whole hemisphere. Nothing could survive that kind of unerring death beam.
A massive power-up from the very core of the planet stopped the massive attack as the Super Saiyan Three fought back with all of his superhuman strength. No matter how much strength he mustered, Vegito was been slowly forced back into the niquel core of Earth. The heat of seven thousand degrees still had to burn his ragged gi away, the golden aura acting as a short of shield. Not that the mightiest Saiyan needed any kind of defense in this harsh environment. The long-haired alien flexed his biceps a cry from his very soul empowering his muscles with energy in divine scales. With a last yell of power gained from his alien heritage, Vegito unleashed a point-blank double-handed blue beam to the sphere of destruction. Baby's attack was promptly drove backwards from beneath high into the atmosphere, fireworks of ki ringing over the planet evaporating the ozone layer for brief seconds. Harmful radiation from space landed on the battlefield, with Baby not even acknowledging any kind of disturbance in the planet.
The Tuffle's eyes widen suddenly turning around a split of second too late. The air shimmered from behind him. The teleporting Saiyan was right in front of his adversary looking murderously.
"Why don't you survive this?!" Vegito's two hands exploded a ki orb straight on the Tuffle's face. Baby was flung across the whole globe landing next to Vegito after an entire turn around the planet. Vegito kept panting, his eyes narrowed slightly by the pain and fatigue he was slowly descending into. His blue clothes were torn away but most of his original outfit was still standing despite the dire conditions it had been put through. His chiseled face had new bleeding cuts and his vein-rippled muscles had painful-looking bruises. The scraps were turning into something more painful.
The long-haired Super Saiyan Three widen his eyes, Baby recovering way too fast and coming from behind him, an uppercut of a fist pummeling Vegito's guts. The Saiyan sent spit and blood out of his mouth by the same time he reached outer space. The lack of oxygen didn't affect the alien while his red blood floated away from his injuries. The Saiyan got his coordination back but too late. The black-Dilustel enemy came from above him landing an axe strike to the Saiyan's hard head. Vegito plummeted from the skies into the scorched soil below covered in re-entry fire. The massive explosion put nuclear bombs to shame, as the Saiyan had almost gone straight through the planet. This had used to be a city near Russia. Now it was just an extension of the Mongolian desert. Or just desert to put it simply. The impact sent more tremors no other godless being could create. The landscape couldn't be more devastated even if someone wanted it. The barren place looked no different from pictures taken from many desolated asteroids.
The Saiyan stood while he clutched his left arm at the shoulder height hemorrhaging quite abundantly. His labored breath tried to refill his burning lungs. The top of Vegito's gi was only remaining in his orange undershirt with calx dirtying it all over, including some of his lacerations over his solar plexus. Even his long golden locks of main looked a bit crispy-cooked.
"You just don't give in, do you?" Baby stated almost shocked. His information about the Saiyans just didn't add up. They had been fur-less monkeys, who headed into battle despite no certainty of winning. But this unique Saiyan was really pushing that logic to absurd degrees.
"You are an idiot if you think I'll ever stop fighting!" Vegito stated now, his aura flashing. But it was only a third of its original size. There was little ki to power it now.
A scarlet blur took the Saiyan a thousand meters away in the blink of a second. Baby' shocked face looked for the monkey's ki energy now almost a kilometer away. The Saiyan Three saw his friend Wally dropping him among the group of recovered heroes. The Bio Ship landed next to all the Justice gang. The teenage heroes ran quickly to the outside most of them covered in ashes. It seemed they had been evacuating a few villages. But they still had suffered many casualties for their liking.
"Well, I guess you are not going to attack me, are you?" Vegito asked with a joking smile. Despite been in his long-haired version, the heroes had already seen him that way. But no one could deny the power he possessed even if worn out from the battle.
"If you give us a reason" Power Girl said back with a grin. She sighed, her super senses detecting someone coming. She wasn't the only one. Many heroes, including Vegito felt the flying enemy coming their way.
"It's really good to be back" Captain Marvel stated with a smile. Been used for a parasite wasn't funny at all. Yet a look around the desolated place put his mood down. Almost like everyone. The Saiyan felt ashamed. All of the damage done to the planet had been his fault. He somehow had to fix this after taking care of Baby.
"So what now?" Superman asked, trying to do something useful ignoring the damage done to his home planet for the time being. Yet he knew this was beyond his depth of power. Even an hour in the Sun wasn't going to do that much in his favor. Maybe a month could help. But Earth no longer had a month. If anything, it had seconds remaining.
"I need you to distract him" The panting long-haired Saiyan warrior said with a new plan forming. The justice people looked at him like if he had gone mad "I know it's asking a lot, but I need the time to gather all my energy into one final attack" Despite that idea, Vegito felt a bit reluctant in firing his ultimate attack. Not because he didn't want to kill Baby. He just didn't want to take Captain Atom with him.
"You heard him, let's go!" The Dark Knight ordered now. Vegito was actually surprised Batman wasn't chastising him. Maybe without Baby's influence Bats wasn't such a dick. The Saiyan would investigate later.
The black-glowing parasite floated high on the air, seeing all the minor vermin running around. They were wasting their powers trying to stop the inevitable. His eyes narrowed in boredom by whatever they could be planning. But it was not going to work.
Flash started spinning his arms at high speed creating twin tornadoes. The sheer speed sent rocks flying away into another countries. The incredible wind wasn't moving the enemy away, however. If anything it was a mere summer breeze for Baby, who kept floating and yawning. Artemis and Green Arrow took that opportunity to shot their trick arrows into the air twister. The wind vortex sent the arrows straight into the black-glowing enemy, each one packing a punch of a bomb equal to a dozen of hand grenades. Batman and his former bat-themed sidekicks sent their flying batarangs at the enemy from another universe as well. Yet all the explosion put together weren't scathing the parasite at all. But they knew they only had to buy Vegito as much time as they could. So for now things were going okay for them.
"Just remember, you could have been part of something great!" Baby voice sounded, his hand sending a rather slow black orb towards the planet. Flash's quick reflexes allowed him to speed up and take all of his friends. Yet not fast enough as the football-sized sphere touched the ground. The following explosion sent the escaping speedster and his friends bouncing away. They were in pain but they would live.
Both Superman and Power Girl let loose their heat vision completely encompassing Baby's whole frame from above. The heat equaled the surface of the Sun, the air combusting around the Tuffle. Yet the enemy in question was only scolding at the two Kryptonians, his body not burning in the least. The two star-powered aliens stopped their attacks panting. Heat vision, specially amped it up consumed too much of their solar energy.
In the blink of picosecond, Baby was behind his former controlled allies, backhanding them into the ground below at terminal velocity. Baby was merely amusing himself, not trying to kill any of them. Yet the simple attack could have indeed left the two aliens completely headless.
The Dilustel parasite rose his index finger sending a Death Beam towards Clark's head. It would blow him up in a great display of blood. However, Wonder Woman appeared in scene, crossing her bracelets in front of her. The unbreakable metal, made out of Zeus' shield had taken the blunt force of the attack, a shocking wave sending the heroes tumbling away, the Amazon included. A second and a flash later, the group of heroes had been teleported away thanks to Zatanna' spell. To Diana's utter surprise, her bracelets had slightly melted. And she could tell that Baby hadn't fired a serious blast at her.
"By the Gods, what is he?" The Amazon thought to herself trying to comprehend. Her eyes traveled to Vegito, wondering how much strength could a mortal body contain. How could these beings exist without reality tearing appart?
Meanwhile, J'onn and M'gann were floating up to meet Baby head on. Two blasts were aimed for them, yet their mass alteration let the attacks fly past them without damaging them. The two intangible Martians were now trying to keep Baby in his place, using their telekinetic powers to encompass him. Baby, nonetheless, was not amused by this. Taking a piece of information from his Martian possessee, the Tuffle's hands shot a blast of blue star fire. The two green-skinned fighters were sent careening down screaming in agony by their main weakness. Their bodies were smoking.
Many other heroes weren't into the fight. Because they were standing close to Vegito ready to stop Baby if he saw the Saiyan charging the attack. Although they might not be able to do much they still had to try. But even if they were standing twenty feet away from the alien, his charging attack had enough gravity to start pulling them towards it. The heroes had to be wary of both the enemy and their ally.
"Too many idiots and not enough time" Atom-Baby thought to himself. Meanwhile, his left hand casually shot upwards stopping the incoming Shazam and Lagoon Boy on his pumped-up form with a focused air gust. The two heroes landed unconscious on the dirty rubble while Baby folded his arms over his chest. These worthless maggots weren't worth his time. His real victim was the pesky Saiyan.
A flash of light stopped Baby's train of thoughts and he couldn't react fast enough to stop it. The enemy of the Saiyan race disappeared from the planet.
"Only one shot" Vegito thought to himself concentrating. He shot both of his hands forward in an horizontal stance. With a cry of new power, the Saiyan channeled all of his ki and further more. The deepest parts of his mind, body and soul poured until the last drop of life energy into one devastating blast of colossal proportions. The ki suffused the ever-increasing golden-glowing sphere charging in front of his palms. The orb got bigger and bigger without any kind of foreseeable stop. From three feet wide to a gargantuan fifty feet wide. Lightnings flashed constantly around its searing surface. The massive ball was cracking not only the ground nearby but also the gravitational pull of many celestial bodies. Even Mars' and Jupiter's gravities had lost their natural pull effects when their respective moons started moving away from their center planets. Earth was almost been torn appart, the axis of the planet almost unbalancing itself ninety degrees. The air was been ripped into nothing reality bending and cracking like glass. Shards of rocks flew up from around the epicenter and were suddenly swallowed by miniature black holes created for picoseconds around the orb, denser than Earth itself.
Vegito grunted in exertion, his legs shaking like jelly. But his arms kept on with his tendons crying in agony and his veins almost ready to be severed from his very heart. If his stance wavered if only for the slightiest of moments, Earth and all of his friends might disappear. Along with the universe and maybe himself along. Baby could die in the process as well but there was no risk worthy of any more lives.
Except his own.
The unmeasurable golden ki started to swirl inside the energy sphere, wanting to be finally released into the multiverse. The Saiyan kept sweating but his dripping water was been vaporized by the temperature of his godly blast. His hands no longer had gloves because these had been erased from existence. His own hands run over by capillary had unpleasant blisters. The hotness of the concentrated orb equaled two dozens of supernovas and getting hotter by the moment.
Yet as he saw his allies falling, The Saiyan needed to make sure his attack would be powerful enough to do he job. He mentally sighed knowing what to do in this situation. Despite how painful it was going to be for his sore body. Maybe Vegito should have done it earlier on the battle but too many things had gone the other way around to actually do it.
"Kaioken!" Vegito's rough voice echoed with new boldness and ki surge. Concentrating more of his remaining life force powers, the Saiyan enchanted his red power-up technique inherited from his fusee. Though the mighty alien could surely hold the Kaioken with the third Super Saiyan transformation for at least three times, his weaken condition reduced his actual chances of powering up down to only its base one point five times. The energy ball gained a little reddish tint around its surface, increasing a few inches in size. The ground continued to get deeper and deeper by the sheer concentrated pressure of the god-level attack.
"Guys, move away NOW!" The Saiyan's rough voice ordered, everybody knowing that there was no arguing here. Zatanna followed her boyfriend's order teleporting everyone away in a second. With heroes, both conscious and unconscious at least two hundred meters away, the mighty Saiyan was ready to cut everything loose.
"Final Dragon Flash!" The Super Saiyan Three enchanted full might. The gold/red energy was fired off at tremendous speed, chunks of ground as big as an island flung aside by the massive backlash of focused power. The white-hot beam ignited the oxygen atoms as it traveled high into the atmosphere into the parasite enemy. A supernova had less energy than this unholy blast of spiritual energy. Baby had no time to move away, his eyes barely widening in shock. The sheer force of the beam distorted the fabric of reality for a couple of seconds the blunt force of the attack sending Baby away. The parasite was nowhere to be seen as the holocaustic blast disappeared deep into the far reaches of space taking with it the life of a few stars in the deepest part of the universe. Black and white holes were created as the blast passed near stardust nebula and quasars. Non of those massive objects were able to survive the passing energy of the spirit power of a Super Saiyan leaving emptiness behind.
The energy-less warrior fell to his knees, his long hair going back to normal widow-peak blackness. His energy was gone but in one last savior attack. The Saiyan was smiling though it hurt his legs to do so. He was so tired his own muscles' nerves had intertwined between themselves. The Saiyan smirked in his mind. Even his fusses had not felt such a level of tiredness before.
The last Saiyan felt a hand helping him up. He saw his girlfriend putting his wrecked arm around her neck. Zatanna was grinning quite slyly towards her boyfriend.
"Well Ve, you pulled it off" Zatanna stated with a smile helping her mate to stand up. The Saiyan would have wanted to kiss her, if he could actually feel his lips. Even Vegito doubted a dozen of his Senzu Beans could heal him.
"Somehow" Batman's comment didn't go unnoticed by his attempt of a joke. Though the Saiyan was too much gone to care for now. His pants of exertion were quite noticeable and he could barely stay awake.
"Well, at least that egomaniac is gone" Flash stated rubbing his aching neck. That was the cost of been a hero. Always been in surreal and dangerous situations.
An incoming power source from space made both Zatanna and Vegito stare up in shock. It was impossible!
"Yeah, he was such an annoyance" A familiar high-pitched voice stated towards everyone. The whole gang of heroes looked in stupor. The Tuffle landed on one of his knees with a thud. His body had cracks all over, energy sipping away from them. His smirk was framing his riven face. Yet behind it rage was boiling over.
With a casual backhand, Baby/Atom created a mighty shock wave sending all of the heroes and heroines except the tired Saiyan spiraling away already beaten without much of an effort whatsoever. Non of them would move for a few minutes. Enough time to blow the universes one at the time.
"Ho... How could you survive that?" Vegito stammered, grabbing his bleeding left arm. This wasn't good. Not at all.
"Quite a nice question" The Tuffle answered smirking, his cracks healing back to unblemishness, his ki growing back "At the last moment of your blast, I remember one of Atom's main abilities. Energy Absorption. Some energy of the attack absorbed, an energy shield to protect me from most of the blast and faster speed to dodge it and here I am" He extended his arms in star fashion bragging about his imminent victory.
Zatanna rose her hand, which shone with blue magic. The Saiyan looked at his blistered burned hand to find a Senzu Bean resting there. Vegito knew that this somehow felt like cheating in a battle. But at this point, that didn't matter anymore. Desperate times called for desperate measures.
Before the tired fighter could move, however, Baby was in front of his rival. His black hand was clutching Vegito's wrist snatching the Bean away with his other one. The Dilustel enemy examined the tinny object.
"Not this time, monkey" The Tuffle taunted, as he now proceeded to eat the restoring bean. His black body bulked up a bit with sudden influx of new ki. Vegito felt dread as Baby's powers increased without limit "I see why they were so popular. My own infinite energy has now increased even more!" Vegito rolled his eyes by that statement.
"Even I know infinite can't be increased" Vegito responded with a sudden smirk "Dumb-ass" The pressure on his wrist increased enough to shatter it. The last Saiyan warrior barely made a snarling sound too much in pain to register even more of it.
"Trying to be a smartass? Good" Baby retorted with an unflinching grin of disdain plastered across his dark purple-eyed face "Partying words are always nice in an unmarked grave" The point-blank black blast engulfed the Saiyan head on, his body drown inside the pool of harmful ki. Vegito didn't even scream out in pain. The Tuffle ended his attack a few seconds later, a body landing with a silent thud of doom a hundred meters away. All the heroes, who were still awake could only mourn and course as their only salvation had been taken down so easily.
The parasite from an extinguished race surveyed the place. A twitching Saiyan body was lying beaten. On the other side a group of heroes were stirring up. Atom-Baby smiled to himself. This planet didn't have any use for him anymore. The battles had already taking their toll on it. Time to find a new place to conquer and recreate his lost race.
Vegito looked above to the sky, his eyes fully narrowed by the white-hot pain he was in. Never he had experienced this kind of agony nearly twice on the same day. How many times did he have to go down before victory?
His in-pain black eyes darted to the stormy clouds above him. The Saiyan could feel his family staring at him, looking at his beaten body. He felt so ashamed. Vegito rose his hand to the cloud-covered night sky trying to reach for what was simply not there.
"Please guys. I know you can hear me, so please send me your power. I know I can avenge your deaths, but I will need more power. Please, just enough to defeat him. I need your power!" Vegito kept cursing his life. He had always wanted an enemy, who could break his limit. But Baby had taken it far too much.
"I need power!" The defeated Saiyan screamed to the Other World, even when he was in the wrong dimension to do so. The Saiyan let loose what little ki energy he had left, creating a little shockwave of compressed wind. The power was just strong enough to reach the high atmosphere. The storm clouds gathered by Vegito's power-up started moving away, revealing the star-covered heaven. The Moon's white light hit the near-death Saiyan's full-bruised body dead on.
Too late did Vegito realised that the Moon light could now affect him. The reflected Blutz waves of the Sun entered through his pupils and spread inside his damaged body.
The Saiyan's black eyes opened wide, his heart pumping blood through his veins with new vigor. His judgement and reasoning slept away as his mind went primitive and berserker. The muscles bulged up, limbs stretching out. The tail kept wiggling, as Vegito's eyes went murderous red. His mouth started elongating into a maw and his teeth shaped into sharp fangs. Hair started to protrude from every part of his body while Vegito started floating in the air with lightnings cracking around his ever-pumping body his frame increasing in all forms and sizes. The ground nearby started to cave in into a deep meteor-like crater two miles wide.
Seconds past and before anyone had registered it, there was a giant brutish brown ape roaring next to the Justice heroes, hitting his chest in blinding rage. Yet the brown color only lasted for a second before a golden explosion bathed over the place, shinning with bright sun-like illumination. The brown Ozaru was gone. Now there was a golden monster standing tall for a hundred feet from the ground with blazing red eyes of unreal power that the universe had never seen before.
Notes from Chapter 25:
Vegito is half-controlled because of Vegeta's side (Remember that my Vegito is mixed perfectly and no fusee stands over the other)
There are a few lines from Dragon Ball Z Abridged. I love that series. I love almost all the Abridged series.
I might have overstretched the aftershocks of the battle a bit too much. But I couldn't destroy Earth yet. Otherwise, where would the action take place?
Zatanna is strong despite what you people may think. She has trained just like Flash in higher gravity. Besides she has magic. Magic is a way to alter reality only limited by your physical power. And Zatanna has quite a lot of physical qualities.
Yes, GT is coming more than ever. Because I prefer it more than Dragon Ball Super.
And so Vegito has achieved a new form...kind of. Let's see if it works in our next chapter!
