Dystopicles was terrifying to behold, a demon of utter blackness, with a figure not unlike that of a man starved. A cruel glimmer could be seen in Dystopicles orange reptilian eyes, a glimmer accompanied by a cruel smile.
The Devil King hovered over the raging storms of Jupiter. Both Goku and Vegeta struck combat poses, ready for whatever their opponent could throw at them.
Goku struck a familiar pose, his hands placed together in order to execute a variation on a move he had used hundreds of times.
Vegeta placed both hands together as his aura surged outwards, giving him the appearence of a blue star.
"Sovereign Kamehameha!" Goku yelled even as Vegeta yelled "Ultimate Galic Gun!"
Goku fired his crimson attack just as Vegeta fired a blue-hued beam of his own. The two attacks slammed into Dystopicles' chest, causing the devil king to be forced backwards a great distance.
The two Saiyans rocketed forward at Dystopicles, neither intending on giving their opponent any breaks.
"Emyrean Crusher!" Vegeta yelled as he fired a blue sphere of energy the size of a small metior at Dystopicles.
When Vegeta's attack struck, Goku rushed forward with both arms and yelled "Double Dragon Fist!", slamming his fists into Dystopicles' black chest with two golden shenron-like dragons surrounding his arms.
After both Goku and Vegeta had flown back after their attack run, Dystopicles brushed off his chest with his right hand, then crossed his arms over his chest and looked at his opponents arrogantly.
"Your attempts at destroying me have been amusing. But I grow tired of this game. I needed someone of great power to kill all the demon kings including me when I was Azrael. You and your friends did not fail in that regard. Then just now you destroyed the armor restraining most of my power. Now I have no further need of you. You have both outlived your usefulness to me." Dystopicles said as he pointed both his black hands at Goku and Vegeta.
Before either Saiyan could avade or do anything, the devil king fired a wave of dark energy from his hands.
Goku and Vegeta screamed as they were forced away at unreal speeds threw the depths of space.
When they ceased moving they had arrived in orbit over the sun itself.
Dystopicles appeared nearby in an instant, his gaze of arrogance settling on the two saiyans.
"Give in to the darkness which you know lives in your heart Goku. You know how much easier things would be for you if you did."
"Once you sought power Vegeta. You desired to be the strongest in the universe. I can grant that wish..anything you desire can be yours."
Vegeta smirked.
"Sorry, but we aren't interested in your offers. I've been to the dark side, and trust me, it isn't all its cracked up to be." Vegeta said.
"You can tempt us all you want Dystopicles..but it won't work." Goku said with conviction in his voice.
Dystopicles pointed a single slim finger at the distant stars above him.
"Just as the only absolute of mortals is death, so to is the true state of the universe evil. The natural instinct of every lifeform is to kill or harm other lifeforms. You fight not only against me, but against the very universe you seek to protect." Dystopicles said, then snapped a finger, after which a long scythe with a long curved wicked looking blade materialized in front of him.
The devil king quickly grabbed the weapon, and immediately black armor with gold trimmings appeared, covering him from his feet to his chest.
"So you got your original weapon back..so what." Vegeta said as he struck a combat pose, the raging fires of the sun behind him as he did so.
"Up until now I have not been using my full power against you. I have hinted to you the true nature of what I represent, as well as the nature of existence...now I will show you exactly what I meant." Dystopicles said as a dark red aura appeared around his form.
Goku looked at Vegeta briefly with a look of concern. Vegeta only nodded in response, the look of a warrior prepared for whatever was thrown at him evident in his eyes.
Dystopicles suddenly began to yell as his crimson aura flared outwards.
On New Namek the various villagers were surprised when their entire world began to shake. On the Planet M1, the various sentient machines stopped their usual activities when their world was struck by an earthquake.
On Earth, once again the entire world's weather went out of control, with hurricanes, blizzards and other storms striking the entire world.
On every world in the universe, the terrible power of Dystopicles could be felt as the Devil King roared as he summoned the full measure of his power.
Dystopicles looked at his opponents, a wicked smile on his dark face.
"Now do you understand? All the hidden darkness in every heart adds to my power. You face not Dystopicles alone..but the dark heart of the universe itself." Dystopicles said.
Vegeta smirked.
"We haven't been using our full strength either. Kakorot, shall we?" Vegeta asked as his blue aura and metallic skin contrasted sharply with the white light of the sun.
"You had to ask?" Goku said
Both Super Saiyan Sixes began to yell as they brought their own powers closer and closer to their zenith. Goku's orange-red aura flared outwards before shrinking and becoming hardly noticable. Goku's eyes seemed to change, reflecting a wisdom far beyond his years.
Vegeta's blue aura also became much more subtle. In the prince's eyes one could see both courage and honor, as a window into Vegeta's soul was opened.
Dystopicles had had enough and charged at the Saiyan duo. Swinging his weapon downwards at Vegeta, the Devil King's attack met only the vaccuum of space when Vegeta avoided the attack by flying upwards.
Dystopicles gave chase to his opponents as they flew over the surface of the sun, firing red blasts of energy from his weapon at his opponents as he did so.
Goku managed to block or deflect each of Dystopicles attacks as they passed under an enormious solar prominance.
Seconds after that Dystopicles and his two Saiyan rivals were locked in an exchange of high-speed melee combat. Dystopicles rapidly swung his weapon at seemingly impossible speeds, but his attacks were easily dodged by both Goku and Vegeta. The Saiyans retaliated with hundreds of attempted punches.
In about the span of five minutes over the burning surface of the sun, what seemed like five hours of combat took place.
Dystopicles raised his weapon overhead, smiling as a small ball of red energy formed above him.
"The every dark deed in the universe will be your undoing." Dystopicles said as the energy ball grew at an astonishing rate.
"We have encountered an attack like that before. It won't work." Goku said, thinking back to the fight against Omega.
"Don't compare the technique of a lowly dragon to my own. This technique is leagues above what you once faced." Dystopicles said as his red ball of energy became the size of a small town.
Vegeta nodded at Goku, then the two Super Saiyan Sixes flew upwards and as one slammed Dystopicles with a uppercut.
This caused the devil king's attack to fizzle as his concentration was broken.
With a look of utter hatred, Dystopicles fired a huge crimson beam of energy at the two saiyans in retaliation, an attack which the Saiyan duo easily managed to avoid.
The blast however slammed into distant Mercury, destroying the closest planet to the sun in less then a second.
"Thats the first planet in this miserable solar system I've destroyed. The longer this fight draggs on the more of that you will see." Dystopicles said.
"He is right. We have to take this fight somewhere else." Goku said.
"You have no time for that." Dystopicles said as he swung his scythe downwards, creating a crescent-shaped energy blast which flew directly at Goku.
Goku tried to block the attack with his right arm, but cried out in surprise and pain when the attack cut away a chunk of his flesh.
His conscentration broken, Goku felt his body fighting to revert to his normal, base state.
Vegeta immediately noticed this.
"If Kakorot changes back to normal here he will die from the sun's heat alone. I must do something."
Dystopicles swung his scythe again and again, sending more of the same crescent-shaped blasts at both Goku and Vegeta.
"I should have done this from the very start. Your Super Saiyan Six powers are based on sacred power. The unholy energies I command cancel out the source of your power. Without your strongest transformation you are nothing to me." Dystopicles said as he fired yet more blasts of deadly unholy energy at his adversaries.
Vegeta grabbed Goku by his right arm, and then Goku used instant transmission to transport them as far away from the solar system as he could go.
The two arrived on a dark world. Blue sand covered the planet, and the only features that broke up the sand were hundreds of clocks of various sizes.
Goku immediately reverted to his normal form.
"It will take awile to master this transformation. But man...we really don't have time for that..everything depends on us defeating Dystopicles now." Goku said weakly.
Vegeta paused before answering Goku. As a Super Saiyan Six his power was not only increased to super-natural levels, but his wisdom was increased as well.
"I don't believe a single attack should have been able to do so much damage to you while in Super Saiyan Six form. The problem is that part of you still doubts yourself, You still feel responsible for the deaths of your wife and son Kakorot. That was what allowed Dystopicles attack to effect you as it did." Vegeta said, crossing his metallic blue arms over his equally metallic blue chest.
A familiar presence flew down from above and landed near Goku and Vegeta, standing atop one of the many clocks.
The figure wore a white kai robe, had short white hair and a white mustache, and had two golden angelic wings on his back.
"Kohryu." Vegeta said.
"You have gained much in your years fighting Goku. But recently..you have lost something precious." Kohryu said
"I guess I have not really been myself lately have I?" Goku asked.
"If you hope to defeat Dystopicles..you must do it without any regrets or fears. In order for that to happen..you must slay your inner demons." Kohryu said with a look of compassion on his face.
Goku nodded.
Kohryu snapped his fingers, and Goku suddenly found himself alone.
He stood on what looked like a collosal root. Goku looked around to find he was in fact standing on part of an unimaginably huge tree. The tree's branches stretched upwards into the heavens.
Goku found his blue gai repaired and whole somehow, his clothing restored despite the many battles he had that had torn it asunder.
But before Goku could wonder where he was or why things had happened he felt a familiar power, one he had not sensed in many years.
Whoever it was flew towards him quickly, before long Goku saw the person approaching as he landed on a nearby tree root. Goku immediately felt like he was looking at a dark reflection of himself, for standing in front of him was a Saiyan warrior. The warrior wore grey Saiyan armor which covered his chest and shoulders. The warrior's hair and face looked almost exactly like Goku's. The main difference was that this being's skin tone was pale, and in the warrior's eyes was not compassion, but ambition and cruelty.
The warrior smiled cruelly and turned both his hands into fists.
"Hello Goku, its been along time. Don't you remember me?" The warrior said with a voice possessing both arrogance and cruelty.
"You haven't changed a bit...Turles." Goku said as he struck a combat pose.
"Oh but I have..I have gotten much stronger. Your friend brought me and several others from your past back. If you can defeat all of us..you will be able to end this entire affair with Dystopicles. But I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen." Turles said as he formed a red ring-shaped beam with both hands.
Goku tried to transform into his most basic Super Saiyan form, but found he could not for whatever reason. Instead he dodged Turles' attack by jumping backwards, then retaliated by placing his hands together and firing a Kamehameha Wave at Turles, who was able to avoid Goku's favorate attack easily by flying upwards slightly.
As Goku's attack flew off into the distance Turles took the opertunity to comment.
"I see your still using that same old boring move." Turles said with a smile.
"It has worked out well for me over the years. You don't fix what isn't broken." Goku responded.
"It will take more than that attack to defeat me." Turles said as he began forming another Kill Driver with both hands.
