Destiny Shattered Gaiden: Unleashed! Darkness' Gate Opens!
Demon Realm Saga: Part One
Vegeta appeared in the wasteland within a second from leaving Capsule Corps his black eyes leering at the downed craft. His keen senses scanned the ship for any signs of life, luckily he found three.' They are alive, but they have very faint ki. It is almost like they were all knocked unconscious,' the white boots of the Elite crunched against the glassy sand and he approached slowly.
Desperate to assure the security of his children the Elite's right hand found its way into the door frame. With a flick of a single finger the door was pried free and set aside gently.' Bulma can fix that later,' Vegeta smiled before looking into the ship.
Laying strewn along the floor of the ship were the three Z-Fighters he detected, he however failed to notice the lack of Mirra Shenron. Bra laid with a tear across her torso and what appeared to be shackles locked around her wrists and ankles, her blue eyes remaining closed as he arms were placed beneath her head.' Bra what happened to you?' the Prince inquired his eyes trailing over to his firstborn.
Trunks was against the wall with his arms resting at his side. His features were serene, empty, it seemed like he had been put to sleep rather than knocked unconscious.' You too Trunks? Who could show up onto the ship and knock the two of you unconscious without so much as denting it?' the Elite continued to himself while looking to Cha.
'Even Yamcha's daughter. She's part Hera-jin though and I'm almost certain she's as strong as Bra,' Vegeta grunted placing his hands on his hips.
His hands clenched and his teeth ground together." You three, get up!" he shouted in a commanding, yet gruff tone. This rang out through the crashed ship and to the trio of unconscious warriors, but it failed to get a stir from them. Vegeta shook his head taking a few steps back." Fine, it looks like I'll be carrying you then," he rolled his eyes with a snicker before hopping into the hub of the ship.
His right arm slung Cha over his left shoulder and his right brought Trunks over his right. He reached down from that position to scoop Bra in his arms like a father would carry a child. His black eyes turned to the west and with a blurring motion he vanished.
Capsule Corps (Two minutes later) ...
The three unconscious Z-Fighters were positioned on adjacent beds in the medical ward of Capsule Corps. Their faint injuries covered with light bandages and medical tape, while their index fingers bore devices to measure their vitals. Vegeta stood in the room leaning against the wall with his right foot against it. His wife tended to them with caution while checking their stable vitals to assure herself that the trio were remaining in a safe range.
"Vegeta, do you have any clue what happened? Was the ship beaten up?" Bulma asked her husband with a sigh, her graying blue hair being pushed from between her eyes.
"No. The only damage was on those three," the Saiyan Prince pointed out with a scowl." I don't get it either, looking at them there was practically nothing that hurt them. The metal around Bra's wrists broke the minute I touched it; I don't know how it could hold her. And those two had no signs of damage at all," Vegeta pointed to Trunks and Cha.
Bulma leaned back in her chair. Her blue eyes looked to the ceiling for a moment and she let out a sigh." This is just weird then. I don't get it, you guys are the strongest in the Universe," the genius sighed placing her hands on her thighs.
Vegeta grunted." It had to be some kind of cheap trick then. Someone is brash to try and send a message to me," the Prince furrowed his brow. His gloved fists clenched, and the entire structure began to rock, golden light filling the room as he transformed.
Bulma's seat pushed away as her husband's Super Saiyan aura pushed through the room. Vegeta noticed this and let his grip loose, a calming breath going out through his nose." Sorry, Bulma. That was a bit much, but it's obvious that attacking my son and daughter was meant for me," the flame haired Saiyan assured leaning back against the wall.
"I know, Vegeta. But who'd be that dumb?" the head of Capsule Corps. said blatantly to her husband.
"I have no clue," Vegeta shook his head with a furrowed brow.
Bra's blue eyes opened, and her body jerked upward." Mirra! Don't take her!" she shouted throwing her hand forth with an energy bullet.
Vegeta swiped in front of it with his left palm keeping it for meeting Bulma's face." Bra wake up!" Vegeta shouts crushing the energy sphere in his palm like it was a candy wrapper.
Sweat rolled down his daughter's face as she looked up." Wait, dad, mom? We're back to the Earth? Was all of that a dream?" she heaved heavily with labored breaths. A sinking feeling had found its way into her stomach and the fact they were on Earth made it go away.
"Why were you shouting for Mirra Shenron? She wasn't on the ship when you landed. Where is she?" Vegeta asked.
Bra's complexion lost all color, her blue eyes shaking." That wasn't a dream, she's really gone."
Bulma cleared her throat." What's wrong sweetie? What do you mean she's really gone?" the genius asked looking at her youngest child with concern.
"They, they took her," Bra answered with a shiver." They took her and we couldn't do anything to stop them," the half-Saiyan continued.
"Who took Mirra Shenron, Bra?" her concerned father softened his voice.
Before she could answer Trunks sat up. His blue eyes briefly bore a dark glow and a red flash." Trunks, you're awake! Maybe you can help us-" Bulma smiled seeing her son's alert features giving her a huge relief.
Trunks tore the detector from his hand and started to the door." Mom, I need to find Raditz," he remarked walking past her with Vegeta raised a brow.
Vegeta turned as Trunks walked by." And why do you need to do that? I'm right here," Vegeta said looking at his son. There was a blankness in Trunks' gaze that showed he was not quite awake, a haziness that was never present before.
"I have to tell Raditz," Trunks replied like reading from a script before pushing past and through the door.
"Tell him what?" Vegeta grabbed his son along the shoulder keeping him from getting too far beyond the door frame.
"That there is nothing that any of us can do to stop the rise of the Demon Realm, we should give up and accept it," he replied synthetically. Vegeta's black eyes shook in that moment.
"Demon Realm?" Vegeta muttered to himself raising his brow in confusion." What are you talking about Trunks?" Vegeta asked shaking his head and returning to his normal stare.
"No, that was real too," Bra placed her hands on the side of her face with a nervousness in her voice. Trunks took advantage of the delay and kept walking.
"What was real?" her father asked ignoring his son, knowing the news he intended for Raditz.
"A Demon took Mirra away, we couldn't touch her," Bra shook her hands, hands balling against the sheet. A tear rolled down from the corners of her eyes and she took in a sobbing breath." She hurt Cha, and chained up Trunks, and I don't remember what she did to me," the blue haired hybrid continued to sob to her father and mother.
'A Demon taking away a Shadow Dragon? That doesn't seem right, I know it's been years since then, but the only one that comes to mind on a level even close is Demigra,' Vegeta thought. The Saiyan Prince looked at his daughter with a firm smile along his face." Humph, it doesn't matter. No matter who they are we are going to beat them," Vegeta said in a fatherly tone resting his hand upon his daughter's shoulder.
Mount Pouzu...
Raditz stood adjusting an obi around the wait of the orange gi pants that he was wearing." How long do you think it'll take Kakarot?" the long haired Saiyan inquired to his blue donning brother. The palm haired warrior to his right fixing his orange wristbands in the process.
"I don't know, but I get the feeling that when they come, we're going to be in for a long haul. I mean, how many people can go and kidnap two Kaioshin?" Son Goku replied curiously stretching his legs.
"I feel the same," Raditz clenched his fists. His eyes trailed over the smile on his brother's face.' He lives for combat like this, the stakes don't matter either. He's going to do everything he can to keep the Earth safe,' Raditz felt the determined air escaping his brother as they awaited what was to come.' Hard to blame him. I live for it too,' the elder sibling smiled.
Goku stood up from his stretches and tilted his head." Hey, wait, is that Trunks? When did those guys get back?" Goku asked as the familiar energy of Vegeta's son tore through the air.
Raditz folded his arms." I don't know, Kakarot," the long haired warrior spoke puzzled as Trunks touched down.
"Raditz, Raditz," Trunks said in repetition while he approached, Goku standing with a confused stare upon his face.
"What is it Trunks? Why are you so out of breath?" the eldest of Bardock's children inquired.
Trunks looked at him and cleared his throat." There is nothing that you, or any of us, can do to stop the resurrection of the Demon Realm. We need to give up and let what is going to happen, happen," Vegeta's son explained causing both Goku and Raditz to take a step back.
"What the hell is wrong with you Trunks? How do you know about the Demon Realm?" Raditz questioned looking at him with a balled fist.' Kakarot, do you think what I think?' the burly Saiyan asked his younger sibling telepathically.
'Yeah, something's up,' the blue donning fighter nodded.
"They wanted me to warn you," Trunks said before a purple-black flash burst from his brow. The Saiyan brothers threw their arms up in defense but quickly dropped those guards when Trunks fell face first to the green grass that sat beneath their feet.
A mere part of a second later Trunks' hands clenched the grass, his lavender hair shaking." Hey, wait, this is green grass, and those shoes-" he muttered his groggy thoughts. His blue eyes trailed up to the Saiyan brothers." Raditz, Goku? We're back to the Earth? But how did I get all the out here? What happened to the Grand Tour?" the firstborn of Vegeta asked standing up.
"What are you trying to pull?" Raditz asked picking Trunks up by the collar of his shirt.
"W-what do you mean?" he asked raising a brow nervously as his feet left the ground.
"You don't remember what you just said?" Goku tilted his head to the side.' Then, again Pan had no idea what happened when Demigra did whatever to her. Is this something similar?' the son of Bardock wondered.
"No, what did I say? Where are Bra and Cha?" Trunks looked around confused, his blue eyes shakily staring about.
Raditz let him go to the ground." You said something about the Demon Realm, and how we should surrender. You remember that now Trunks?" the long haired full-blood questioned the half-Saiyan.
"Not at all, the Demon Realm what are you guys talking about?" Trunks wondered shaking his head to clear a groggy feeling.
Goku tilted his head." Heh, that's pretty weird," the palm haired fighter pointed out with a sigh. His arms folded his hands over his chest and shook his head." I think you should go home and get some rest Trunks, you must be pretty tired from space," he sternly said with a nod to his brother.
Raditz chuckled." Go Trunks, I'm sure Bulma and Vegeta would like to see you," he patted the warrior on the back.
"Yeah, right, I don't even know how I ended up here," Trunks said with a bit of stutter before running and shooting off into the air again.
"What do you think about that Raditz?" his brother asked.
"Just like you, I have no idea. But if they're trying to send messages through Trunks, they're pretty desperate or they think they can take us," his protected hands balled tightly, and he looked to his brother.
"Yeah maybe. Trunks isn't a lightweight though, we should double down on being careful. We know how trick Demons and be," the blue donning Saiyan said resting his hands on his hips.
"You're right. Well then, let's keep focused. If Trunks was their messenger, we shouldn't have too long a wait to find out which one is the right answer," Raditz noted looking to the sky.
Demon Realm...
Towa smiled with a sick glee." It looks like my message reached them loud and clear," she said while a dark coil appeared around the edge of her finger.
A staff clacked as Mechikabura walked forth, his wrinkled features bearing a smile. The legion of red eyes leering from the background provide him with a source of overwhelming confidence." What a most excellent occurrence," his wooden staff raised to the air. A dark star rose from the top of it while pulsating with a blinding flash of light.
His sullen red eyes looked over the room and he grinned." There is no need to grant them any form of preparation! Our cause will begin now!" the stars light continued to flash out across the darkness with a blinding glow.
"Gravy, Towa, Poutine, Shroom, Chamel, Sauza, I entrust much of our operations to the six of you," Mechikabura advised." Until I regain my youth," the wrinkled being muttered softly garnering the attention of the six Demon Gods.
"Yes, my lord," the said in unison bowing with their fists against the ground.
"The rest of you know where you are to be sent and I expect no failures," he snickered narrowing his gaze at the warriors coldly. Those in the darkness nodded as the aged Moro walked beside Towa, Mira standing confidently in the shadows.
"Now go! Servants of the Demon Realm reclaim the world that is so rightfully ours!" he belted out as the legion began to disappear.
"Little Towa, I assume that you will not mind me trailing along to the Earth with you?" the aged goat, Moro asked resting a hand upon the female Demon Goddess' shoulder.
She looked to the taller being with a smile." It will be no problem, grandfather. The Earth is a most interesting place however."
Moro grinned hungrily at the prospect, his eyes lowering." I do hope so. It was far from spectacular in my time."
"Lord Mechikabura, you are free to use the Shadow Dragons when you see fit. They have been transformed into loyal servants of the Demon Realm," Towa said bowing to wrinkled realm leader.
"I see, you also managed to resurrect the others then."
"Yes, with your magic nothing is impossible, my lord," he bowed as Moro narrowed his gaze.
"Excellent," Mechikabura rolled his hands and smirked." Now, go and pursue your task."
Towa then vanished with Moro leaving the Demon Realm to its master.
Universe One...
The strongest in the Universe sat peacefully on his beach planet, arms folding over his bare chest." What a nice day," he smiled taking a breath in of the beach worn air. His skintight black pants led to a pair of knee high, white armored boots while his exposed torso merely bore a necklace with a strange spiral-like bit at the edge of it.
"You know Longan sitting around and doing nothing is bad for you," a feminine voice came from behind him. Her blonde hair swaying with different streaks of color throughout as she approached.
"Keki? What the heck brings you all the way out here?" Longan questioned stumbling back across the sand with broad eyes. his hair swaying back in the motion while a bead of sweat fell from his brow.
The female warrior adjusted her denim jacket, the white cropped top beneath shifting slightly." What do you think?" she raised a brow, her single gloved hand reaching to the left side of waistline to a holster. The single legged pair of pants she wore leading graciously into a pair of white boots like those of the man she was talking to.
"You've got a mission that you can't handle alone right? A big bad that even the strongest member of the Galactic Police Force can't handle," he rolled his eyes as she pulled a badge from her holster.
"Yeah, so if you could just come along and make sure-" she was cut off as he looked at her.
"You realize you don't have to ask, right?" Longan reached out and grabbed her around the wrist." You were dumb enough to say, 'I do'. I kind of have to go along with you," he smiled giving her a wink.
The female fighter blushed before looking away." Then, put a shirt on. This isn't a show of how physically fit you are," she grunted her pupils crossing back over her eyes to look at his toned physique.
"My eyes are up here," he noticed laughing. He walked over to the side of his beach chair, a white tee shirt fitting firmly there." I have one right here don't worry," he smiled while the sky turned to a tar-like pitch hue.
"What?" Keki stared up with awe.
A dark line had crossed through the sky and a pouring out of negative energy followed. Several shapes appeared within this darkness their cold eyes staring down over the planet with a malevolent glee.
Universe Two...
"What wrong Cap'n?" a white haired man asked from the opposite side of a bar, a blush showing how drunk he had become.
The short blonde on the back end of the bar placed the mug he was washing down." Everything. I haven't felt something like this in a long time."
Three young women stood in the center of a grand pyramid, their dresses whirring as they swiped their arms around. The first had long green hair that stopped at the base of her shoulder with a yellow-orange headband complimenting it. A frilly, long sleeved pink dress hung along her body while black leggings reached down from beneath it into a pair of pink high heels.
Second, a shorter figure wearing a yellow dress and shoulder wrapping cape. She had orange sunglasses and bluish black hair that was cut bob-like around her face and head. A lone yellow-white beret finished the outfit as she winked to the center of the area with a joyous glee.
Lastly, flanking the other side of the first, was young brunette woman wearing a blue dress. She had long black gloves that ran from her hands up to her shoulders while black leggings reached beneath into a pair of brown boots. A smile upon her face as she raised her hands to cup her chin with utmost glee.
They were looking forth at a large palatial coach, where a single figure sat. She had tanned brown skin and a beauty mark on the side of her face. A motif that could be described as ancient was common along her features, yet she had a youthful and beautiful complexion that overlooked the trio of young woman with a vested interest and glee.
"My, my girls you are indeed beautiful," she smiled shifting her legs from their laying position to a more seated approaching." In all of my years I would have never guess three more perfect maidens existed. Mind, body, and spirit toned to their most beautiful," the figure smiled looking at the trio with glee.
"You really think so?" Brianne de Chateau, the head of the trio, asked her hands linking together while she leaned toward the pharaoh-like figure.
"Yes, my dear, you Kamikaze Fireballs, are indeed fetching," the woman smiled gesturing with her hand." I feel that there is further beauty to be reached beyond even your next forms. Magical girls are wonderful," she smiled.
"Ah, thank you so much Lady Jerez," Sanka smiled her brown hair waving as she bowed.
"Humph, no worries darling it what I as the judge of beauty is to do," Jerez replied, her beaded black hair swaying as she laughed.
"Do you have any advice, Lady Jerez?" Su Roas questioned looking at the brown skinned judge. Her glasses covered eyes showing curiosity.
"Advice for you three? Not at all, you are on the right track to displaying your true beauty like buds of flowers just a spring is about to make them bloom," elegantly Jerez gesture craning her arm into the air. The gesture made the three girls look at her with a shock and admiration, blushes formed along their faces as she brought her arm down." You should stay with what you are, you wonderful Kamikaze Fireballs," she winked with a joyful smile on her face
"Aah? did you hear that Brianne?" Sanka said looking at their lead with broad eyes.
Brianne was on the brink of tears while a smile crossed her face." That is so great. Thank you, thank you, thank you," she bowed respectfully with a broad grin and blush present on her face.
'To be young again,' Jerez smiled watching the glee as the three young women smiled and laughed together.
Suddenly, all four beings froze, as did the servants lining the room. A darkness seemed to seep in through the windows along the top of pyramid. The light that surrounded the area dulled down with it and a potent energy came to their attention. Flashes of red and purple lightning rammed down from the sky to the ground shaking the foundations of the building.
"What is going on there?" came the brow raise of the 'judge of beauty' her eyes looking to the windows experiencing the chaos of the lightning strikes and darkness that came forth with it.
Universe Three...
Doctor Gero looked up from his stolen desk. Behind him along the wall a pod opened slowly, a gaseous cloud of white smoke falling from it while he smiled." True Android Twenty One, it is time my dear for you to make your mark on the Universe," she said as two glowing blue eyes turned to rings of red.
"Good, because I'm sooo hungry," she complained, a pink hand grabbing the edge of the pod where black nail left faint indents to the metal. Baggy white pants sway as a long pink tail draped from behind.
"Then go and eat, it is an all you can eat buffet after all," he smiled picking himself up from his chair. He drew the Red Ribbon cap over his exposed brain casing with a smile.
"Hehe," a chuckle and then a zipping sound as Instant Transmission occurred.
Darkness rumbled through the sky overlooking the castle. Dark lightning danced around as he walked forth from the confines of the laboratory.' The rise of the Demon Realm is at hand. Wonderful,' he smiled clenching his hand and flying off.
Universe Four...
'Have you figured out what you're going to do about the Demon Realm stuff yet, Shiro?' Canna, his base assistant, questioned over communications as he rushed through a forest.
Shiro shook his head while dodging a giant foot that was attempting to step upon him." No, right now though I have to worry about these things that are popping up with more frequency," he replied spring onto the side of a mountain. A large tentacle swiped out blasting the mountain into nothing but rubble.
He lopped through the carnage and landed along a piece of debris.' And what about Romari? Has she done anything strange while the two of you were alone?' his assistant questioned.
"Course not, she's really easy to get along with," the fighter said with a smile. He dashed between floating pieces of debris like they were patches along the ground. His lightning wreathed power exploded between steps coalescing in two lines running down his arms to his hands. Rocks shattered into piles of dust as Shiro approached each passing second amplifying his speed while his focus narrowed." Release restraints," he said in a low tone, two energy bands breaking free from his biceps.
"You should get the transport system ready!" he sprang into the air from the last piece of debris. Beneath him a solid mass of mirror-like black scales with a giant draconic head traced his flight path. A ball of fire spurned to life in its mouth as he flipped in the air." Because I'm sending this guy to the sleep with this next hit!" he lopped down building up further momentum on the edge of his hand.
'RAAAH!' a billow of fire escaped the monster's mouth. It swallowed the descending speck that was Shiro and continued into the sky. The fire blast exploded into a star of heat that faded away within a few seconds of being launched. Smoke burned in its path though as the monster's tentacles reached out through the landscape below.
'Shiro! Shiro!' a shout through a headpiece, filled with concern, echoed through the silent air.
"Heh, don't worry Kanna," his voice came through the headset. In the sky a flash of blue lightning sprawled through the smoke and his right hand descended from the sky. Star-like streams of ki blasted by in the wind as he brought his hand down for a finishing blow." Like I said, you're going to sleep big guy! POWER CRUSH!" the sky rumbled with his words as his right fist slammed down atop the dragon's head. A thunderous explosion following.
A might crack sprawled beneath the beast's body trees and embedded rocks being uprooted and tossed aside. Discharge raised through its body as the force of the blow hurled the smaller being high into the air in bewilderment. Winds churned around while Shiro descended, his eyes focusing on the mighty creature's shaking body. Its huge head dropped down and then bounced up the numerous tentacles it possessed wiggling in the air as it tumbled back heavily.
The building size monster reached a stop with a thunderous boom. Dust reached into the air and Shiro looped back to the ground, his right hand meeting the ground as he crashed toward it. The momentum of the landing sent him sliding backward releasing streams of dust along the v-shaped rut that his boots tore into the ground. His eyes narrowed while a smile crossed his face and his left hand pulled up to the side of his face.
"This is S-Class Shiro, I would like to request a pick up for another contained Kaiju," he said over the communicator to his ally.
'Roger. Pick up initialized,' Kanna replied as always, her right and left hands pressing several keys on a keyboard.
"Heh, awesome. Thanks, Kanna, didn't mean to scare you there," he replied placing his gloved hands along his hips with a smile. His black hair waved while his eyes closed with relief.' Didn't tear up my body using a part of my max power this time. All of that training is really coming together I think,' he smiled in his mind flexing his muscles noting the lack of pain that came with it.
There was radio silence for a moment as if someone was regaining composure.' Me worried about you? Aren't you the most elite in the Universe? Come on get real, I knew you'd be okay,' she replied nervously.
"Guess you're right," he smiled oblivious to her obvious concern.
He let out a breath as the two golden rings returned to his arms." And that's that, restraints back on. I'm ready for transport too," he said into the earpiece with relief and glee.
The sky though suddenly grew dark and there was a rampant rumbling sound. Dark flashes of lightning struck through the sky shaking the planet and filling its air. Black clouds spread to reveal a streak of purple light that had opened in the sky. Outlines were visible against this light; Shiro's right and left hands raised quickly as he felt their energy.
'Shiro, what's going on?' Kanna questioned through his head piece, unable to see what he saw.' There are readings here that don't make any sense.'
"I have no idea, but it can't be good. If possible, contact Nira and tell him to bring whatever he can, if he can," Shiro said with a shivering tone in his voice." Restraints, release," he said again loosening the bands from his biceps for a second time.
'Roger. Be careful until help arrives,' Kanna said with concern into his head piece.
"Right," he nodded with mounting tension as the shadows from the sky began to descend.
Universe Five...
"Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble," a fish-like being sat over a bubbling black cauldron. His red hair pushed up from the center of his head, the tight brown-gray skin clinging close to his face. Slowly, he raised several herbs from the side of the bubbling pot lowering them in carefully and with patience. Then, something pushed through the curtain to his hut.
"Who is coming in while I do my work?" the fish-like being asked his large purple eyes turning to the door.
"Hope I didn't disturb you more than a smidge," a light British accent washed through the hut and a man walked in. He wore a leather jacket and a purple shirt while skintight black jeans led into a pair of silvery boots.
"Zeri? How long has it been since you last were here, boy?" the emaciated being rose from the side of the cauldron to look at the taller warrior.
"Twenty years, at least on the planet I was staying on, probably more considering how slow it moved," he smiled to the witchdoctor with a smile on his face." How were things here Arak? I bet you've had a right time without me running around," Zeri chuckled as Arak looked at him.
The fish-faced individual stared up and nodded." They were quite tame; a catastrophe befell the planet several years ago. Luckily, we have managed to fix things in the meantime," he shrugged pulling a jar from the rack sitting beside the blonde man.
"Wait, you had trouble and didn't call me? You know I could have done something, my company would surely help," Zeri sighed shaking his head.
Arak opened the jar an acrid smell filling the air. Neither flinched at the scent and Arak poured it into his boiling cauldron." There was no need. The methods at which I know were as effective as any building team you know of," he replied." The offer is most gracious accepted for the next time something poor occurs here," the purple eyed being smiled winking to the young blonde with a laugh.
"Alright ol' man. I'll hold you to that," Zeri smiled looking down at the pot. His shimmering blue eyes narrowed on the viscous green fluid a familiarity about if filling his mind." You're make a protection charm, aren't you?" the strongest of Universe Five inquired looking to the aged medicine man.
Arak moved his hand from atop the cauldron." I am yes. It appears that you are still wearing yours," he pointed out the small silver earring that hooked through the left earlobe of the blonde warrior.
"Well, yeah of course, about a year and a half ago it came in handy," he alluded to the Angels' attack on the Tournament of Power and what unfolded from there." But what are you making this one for? I didn't see anyone waiting around outside," he pointed to the empty dirt outside of the hut.
"Zeri, Zeri, Zeri, I wish you could see the world the way that I do. This a protective charm for me, and this planet, I had a vision of a terrible rout that was going to come to this place. There are to be little in terms of survivors; I wish to assure that the people of this planet are among them," he sighed shaking his head.
"What do you mean a rout's coming? Your vision has to be going with your age, this place can't be in the line of fire. It's the only planet in this solar system," he pointed out looking around angrily to the diminutive being.
Arak snickered." My visions have always been accurate you youngster!" he shouted with arms flailing and voice raised to the Universe Five team captain.
'Ah geez, I forgot about his temper,' Zeri leaned back with a smile on his face." Sorry, sorry, Arak, it was all for bants I promise," he cooled the situation with his hands.
"I thought so," Arak returned to the cauldron." Needless to say, this planet needs protection. And I will be the one who protects it," he said sternly, his left hand dipping into the boiling mixture. From it a white ring was pulled free. It was limp and seemingly made of deteriorating plant matter and blanched of all color it possessed. Zeri proceeded to watch as the fish put the ring around his right bicep a wince from the heat crossing the man's face. He folded the edges together along the ring and waited.
A blinding flash of golden light exploded from the core of the ring tinting its white to gold, the material it was made from turning to a rigid metal to match its shade." Wait, a second, you made a golden charm and it's that big? How bad do you think this is going to be?" Zeri questioned as Arak readied himself.
"I told you it was to be a rout, not only on this planet, but this Universe. We are doomed for toil and trouble, I hope that you are one that can survive that trouble as well," Arak noted repeating his vision with a furrowed brow.
"I'm the strongest in the Universe, I can handle this," he smiled confidently, flexing beneath his jacket.
Arak sighed, his body releasing a veil of purple energy." You always were headstrong," his immense energy struck the blonde.
"Is that your energy?" he asked with a broad mouth, gasping.
The short medicine man chuckled." My point remains."
Another word failed to be muttered between the two." So, it starts," Arak growled, shifting his right and left feet as a thunderous boom occurred outside.
The sky turned like pitch while dark clouds followed beneath. Crackling flashes of thunder and lightning shredded out heralding the arrival of shadows that lined the sky. Winds blew and churned around hurriedly the top of the hut rattling as the purple curtain sequestrating it from the planet began to tear away. Energies arrived in the sky overhead and rattled the planet itself, the noises of the incoming storm deafening all chance for conversation to continue.
Universe Six...
"So, what's the big idea settling on this planet again?" Caulifla asked as the hatch to the ship they were on opened. Her eyes and words directed toward Frost, who was leading them.
Frost smiled placing his hands on his hips." This is the planet of a renowned scholar in the Universe. He apparently has an ability that gives him the title of doctor," the former despot explained walking down the ramp as Cabba and Keru followed.
"That's pretty vague though, isn't it?" Caulifla asked tilting her head to the side.
"It is, but his legacy is known enough to garner attention," Frost explained reaching the bottom of the ramp.
Cabba scratched the back of his head." I mean, I guess that makes some sense. Hopefully, he can help us with the Demons or at least tell us where they are," Cabba spoke while following Frost to the ground.
"My point exactly," the Frost Demon smiled walking ahead with Cabba at his side.
"Sis, this is weird, right?" Keru inquired in demure fashion, her eyes trained on Cabba and Frost as they kept forward.
Caulifla scoffed at the sight and the prospect." Definitely, I think it would have been better to fight those guys head on. How much can some guy on a backwater planet like this bring to the table?" the wild haired young Saiyan pointed out shrugging at the rather plain environment that sat around them.
Keru giggled." It is a bit a plain."
They followed the leading pair into what appeared to a castle-like university hall. Through multicolored tiles and rows upon rows of bookshelves that came upon an office that sat in the back. A door closed on one side while a broad window rested on the other, its curtains drawn, and screen pulled down. Frost though turned the handle despite the signs for privacy and walked into the room.
Behind a mahogany desk, sat a rotund porcine. Small glasses sat at the edge of his pig-like nose their yellow lens hiding the small eyes of the figure as he looked down on a book. Small ears protruded on either side of his head and a shark fin rose down the center of his head like a mohawk. An old tunic with a braided rope belt closed out the outfit and his attention was grabbed immediately by the quartet of warriors.
"Ah? Who dared come to the Wanderer's Library unannounced?! You are free to wander my book collection only with my permission," he snorted looking around until his gaze locked on Frost." A-an Arcosian?! What brings a member of the royal family out this far?" the being snorted once more, his chair rocking back in shock and confusion.
Frost smiled, a slightly perturbed look crossing his face with a bead of sweat." Well, I'm actually here for you, Doctor Rota. We could use your help for a situation that is quite dire," the white skinned being said with a raised brow.
"Well, Frost, I can say that you came to the right place, because if anyone dares assault this library, they will find out why I am called doctor," the pig stood up with a smile on his face, hands smashing together.
Cabba raised a brow and cracked a nervous laugh." You see that could be a problem. No one should be coming to the library, they are actually after us," the Saiyan explained.
"After you all? What did you do?" Rota inquired to them with a furrowed brow and oink.
"We're just the strongest in the Universe, you know. Normal stuff," Caulifla explained rolling his eyes.
"Strongest in the Universe? Who would go after you all then?" the pig seemed startled at the revelation and the might that was currently reside on his library's floor.
Frost shook his head." It is the Demon Realm; they are attempting to do something with the strongest warriors in the Universe. And we could use your assistance," the Frost Demon explained.
"Oh dear, oh dear, Demons, Demon Realm, those are names only spoke of in the most ancient of texts. Are you certain you are not blowing this out of proportion?" the red furred pig asked shaking his head condescendingly.
"Listen, pork roast, we're being honest. We wouldn't come out here for something if it wasn't important," Caulifla placed her hand on the good doctor's desk. Her words striking him more than the gesture.
"I dare say, pork roast, how brash are you?" Rota snorted while Caulifla's fierce gaze continued. His bold facade passed quickly, and he shrunk back. His right hand reached to the end of his nose and he coughed." Erhem, very well, I will lend you any knowledge that I have on Demons, though I doubt your authenticity," Rote replied to Frost, averting Caulifla's gaze.
"Well, I guess that will have to do," Frost spoke in a typical Arcosian condescension while Rota nodded from beyond his desk.
Through the bank of windows behind the desk everyone within the office could see the world outside turning dark." What's going on out there?" Rota inquired rushing to his window with mouth agape.
Frost tensed having felt something similar before." No, they found us. Why now of all times?" his hands clenched, and his tail lashed the trio of Saiyans travelling with him tensing.
"Are we in for a fight right now?" Caulifla asked with glee, her knuckles cracking.
Cabba nodded balling his fists." I think so, so get ready."
Numerous energies were falling from the sky. Their ki senses going ballistic with the sheer number of arrivals.
Universe Seven...
A towering man with tanned skin sat at the edge of a circular pit that was filled with lush green grass. His right and left arms were supported along his knees and his black eyes looked down into the pit with curiosity. Black hair swayed from the top of his head while the green pelt around his side rippled with it. His protected wrists twitched as he looked down.
"Ba," he spoke voice sorrowful and mourning. There was a hefty sadness deep in those words directed to the pit something the sitting being was trying to direct." I am sorry," he muttered with broken words bowing his head against the points of his raised knees.
With that apology the grass below began to move, more so than just in the breeze. The entire carpet seemed to shift and ripple like a long dormant force was being awoke from deep in the planet. A wrinkle appeared in the center of the rippling mass of green from which a dog-like head emerged. Two red eyes opened, and sharp pointed teeth bared, a single ear rose from its head while the other was covered in scar tissue.
The seated figure's eyes grew large as that craning head reached into the sky to look down upon him." Ba! It's really you Ba!" he smiled broadly with his eyes wide and a smile upon his face.
The creature reared down and brought its head toward the Saiyan, at alarming speed. The contact though met the Saiyan's body and pushed him from the rock he was sitting on kicking up dust. Broly though did not mind in the slightest a broad smile on his face. A familiar warmness sat into his body from the collision with the weasel-like dweller of Vampa one that calmed him.
Broly reached up and stroked the beasts along its nose, which was practically the only place he could reach. His black eyes shimmered as he did so the beast letting loose a purring noise." I am sorry, Ba, I was a terrible friend. It will not happen again," Broly smiled keeping a patient hand upon the creature's head rubbing it to enjoy the purring.
Ba's nose nudged, and despite Broly's size, threw the Saiyan onto its back. It was something that must have been common when the Saiyan was a child and it brought immense glee to the warrior." Hahaha! Ba, it is so great to see you again!" he smiled rubbing the center of its forehead with a child-like naivete, something that the two aliens on the adjacent slope could not hope but smile at.
"I knew Broly was naive and innocent, but this is too much," Cheelai smiled, blushing while a tear brimmed in her eye.
Lemo placed his hands on his hips and laughed." Hey, face it. It's been so long since they've seen each other I'm sure we can give Broly a pass on acting like an adult," the orange alien smiled watching as Ba ferried Broly across the pit along his back like no time had passed between them.
"I've gotten stronger Ba, stronger than I was when I was younger. You'd be surprised," Broly spoke to the creature as he had in the past. A cherishing smile formed along both of them while they continued to ferry and play, like a dog reuniting with its owner on a much higher scale.
"Baa!" it shouted bouncing him from its back. The Saiyan floated into the air with flight noticing the darkness that had overcome the sky.
"Hey why'd he do that?" Cheelai asked looking through her visor to see Broly's glee.
"Look up," Lemo gestured, his boots shaking.
"Huh?" Cheelai dropped her visor and stared in shock." Did a storm roll in on us?" she braced knowing the weather was erratic on Vampa.
Lemo shook his head." I don't know," he said in shock staring at the dark clouds rumbled and cracked with dark lightning.
"Ah, Ba, go and hide! Now!" Broly shouted feeling something emerge from the sky. A lone shadow that floated in the heaven with a rampaging grimace on its face and narrowed red eyes.
The weasel rolled in on itself and lowered its head while Broly floated opposing the darkness with a flash of his greenish aura. There was no doubt combat was about to begin.
"Hey, Cheelai, we better get going!" Lemo yanked on her arm as the figure dropped from the sky consumed in a ribbon of darkness, except for the long black hair that hung down the back of his head and the leering red eyes from within the mask.
"Right!" she shouted lowering her head, rushing along as Broly righted in the air.' Stay safe Broly,' she lowered her head.
Universe Eight...
"Thank you for the meal," the blue haired warrior smiled folding his hands before a giant spit and creature resting atop it. His orange jumpsuit blew in a breeze that stoked the flames and a smile crossed his face.
"Save some for the rest of us, Toriko," a black haired man said looking across the fire pit.
"Daw, what do you mean? You guys will have plenty, Coco," he said tilting his head to the side." You know that I always share."
"Always can be an understatement at times," a man with tied back multicolored hair complained." At least this meal looks beautiful."
"Can we just shut up and eat?" a third figure, the bulkiest of the quartet complained looking around. His pink shaded hair waved while his scarred features narrowed on the broiling meet." I'd like to eat it before the fire stokes out."
"Zebra, that's not going to happen," the first, Toriko, replied smirking across at the large warrior." There's plenty of wood heating it up."
"Just cut the food," the muscled warrior snickered looking aside.
Toriko's right hand raised, a blue light surrounding it." With pleasure! Knife!" he gestured down. Along the spitted cut of meat, dozens of slashes appeared. Fillets fell off the skewer angled for each of the four warriors that were sitting around the fire pit.
"That is what I've been waiting for," Zebra grinned pulling a piece from the side and placing it onto his plate. A savoring smile crossed his scarred face and he prepared to dig in." Now, let's eat," he shouted biting into the cut with a huge smile on his face.
The others did the same, their freshly caught dinner being made perfectly on the spot. In no time the spit that held the side of meat was picked clean. The quartet sat satisfied beneath it, their plates and utensils being set aside to be cleaned." Hah, that really hit the spot," Toriko added letting out a relieved smile.
"Yes, it was, we haven't eaten like that is a while," Coco smiled while looking at the flickering embers.
Sunny, the multicolored hair bearing person, nodded." Before the Tournament of Power, wasn't it?" he raised a brow trying to think back.
"The night before," Zebra added with a nod, a smile cracking across his face.
Toriko punched the inside of his palm." That was really something. I wonder what those Universe Seven guys are up to anyway. I'd love to have another go at Son Goku," he grinned nodding his head.
"You would? He and the rest of his Universe showed us how outclassed we were, didn't they?" Coco pointed out with a puzzled stare. Defeats were not too common anymore and the one he has suffered against Raditz was one that kept him thinking.
Toriko stood up with a broad smile." That's the point, those guys push themselves like crazy, the same way we did. It is too good a mirror matches to pass up, throw in the rest of our team and we could have a tournament all to ourselves," he grinned proudly.
"That would be a nice change of pace, another match with Vegeta could be interesting," Zebra smiled standing up to look at the blue haired being.
"That's the spirit," Toriko grinned pumping his fist in the air.
Suddenly, that joy turned to serious expressions. A dark crash of lightning parted the sky overhead filling with a series of black clouds that rumbled with red-purple light. Shadow danced about within these clouds their nefarious ends flowing along their faces while being directed to the warriors below; all of whom gathered together in preparation for what was to come.
"We can think about another tournament later, it looks like we have company," Zebra snickered lowering his eyes and preparing.
Universe Nine...
Basil and Lavender laid with their backs against a crumbled building in the middle of a nowhere planet. Their thick fur was matted in places with dust and mud while bandages were wrapped around their muzzles and shoulders. They had their right and left arms respectively supporting the other by the shoulders while they took labored breaths in and out.
"It's been months since we last saw Bergamo, there is no sense searching for him any longer," Lavender wheezed, a dribble of blood running from his mouth." We've only caused trouble for ourselves this way," the tawny member of the Trio de Dangers continued while a wince crossed his tired face.
Basil shook his head, large ears waving. He looked up and cleared his throat not long after." N-no, we cannot give up the search. Bergamo let us run for a reason, to look for him," the red furred being seethed through his grinding teeth." I am sorry that we had to traverse the darkest and most desolate corners of the galaxy in an attempt to do so, but we have to be getting close. We do not surrender," he encouraged, leaning heavily against the wall.
"Yeah, he put his neck on the line more than one for us, but surely there is another way for us to help him," Lavender noted leaning his head back revealing the break staining the white wrapped around his face more." Without his aid we've been exposed to how much of a garbage heap Universe Nine truly is. Even Princess Drows could not help bringing balance to it," he explained with a heavy sigh.
Basil nodded." I know, but that's what makes us stronger. We were not always this way," he huffed heavily laughing." This experience is enough to prove that we are worthy of looking up to our brother. Do not be so doubtful of us finding him, we will find him," he laughed, a fiery explosion occurring several city blocks away.
"That would be nice, Basil, but it looks like our trailers have finally caught onto our scent again. We're going to be in trouble," Lavender huffed with a tired smile. He pulled up to his feet and a purple mist seeped from his mouth onto his hands.
Basil rose his right leg buckling at the knees." Yes, it appears so. Well, who cares? If we fight them away this time, I can assure that we'll find Bergamo," his torn gloves rose as the outlines of their pursuers came through the smoke clouds.
"There you are, my prey," a female voice rang out and three crimson lashes tore through the air. The building exploded with the collision tossing the two dog-like aliens into the air, their yellow eyes tracing down.
She had a pixie cut of black hair with two rounded cat ears sticking from the top. Pink skin with darker purple markings covered her face while felid eyes stared forth at the Trio de Dangers. Her punk inspired crop top and pants swished in the murky blackness of the smoke while her red claws glowed brilliantly against the backdrop. Her pale purple tail swayed behind her back and a grin crossed her face.
A rabbit-like being whizzed from the smoke a moment later, hopping into the air. Her right boot smashed against Basil's guard throwing him to the ground while her aerial dexterity avoided Lavender's strike." Good move Soriel," the cat licked her claws as the pair of dogs smashed to the ground and tried to regain footing.
"Heh, heh," Basil gasped while his brother adjusted beside him along the ground.
"Brother, we need to try it. There are seven of them and merely two of us," Lavender said through bated breath.
"Yeah, Dangers' Triangle!" he smiled with an intimidating glare.
A dark crack appeared in the sky preventing their attempt at preforming the technique alone. The air around them blasted about with a dark discharge of red-black light.
Universe Ten...
"Haha! Napapa! Is that the best you have?" Murichim, the former lead of Universe Ten's team, inquired blocking a charge from the far larger sumo wrestler. His heels crushed into the ground from the force while his rippling muscles remained steadfast against the core of the purple skinned fighter's body.
"Humph, you know I would go easy on you with our past, but if you insist," Napapa said boldly his right and left arms swiping out to the side. They slammed closed on Murichim's shoulders. Rocks lifted across the entire arena from the grapple and people in the stands were pulled from their seats." I may be out done in raw capabilities by you, but my strength is second to none!" he hurled his arms backward, pulling Murichim from the ground.
The izori carried through with immense effort and force. The tiles that surrounded the arena floor were thrown several dozen feet into the air Murichim's head being crashed into a crater. Napapa adjusted himself from the hefty throw that he delivered to stand opposite the Elite warrior of Universe Ten with broad hands resting at his side.
Murichim's palms placed against the ground and he tried to press up. His muscles rumbled while a ringing sensation stirred in his head and sweat dribbled down from his brow. He attempted to reach his feet and then dropped face first to the ground beaten." Haha, that's the end my friend," Napapa reached his hand down while Murchim continued to shudder.
"Yes, it looks to me like you live up to the tile of Yokoduna," Murchim smiled taking the hand and reaching his feet.
Napapa nodded with a broad grin." I am undefeated in competition within the Universe," the ponytail wearing warrior smiled. His massive hand shaking that of his shorter, more defined adversary.
Brown boots cracked against the tiles and a figure made his way to the broken floorboards. He had large pink ears that hung from either side of his thick wrinkled skin. Two large white tusks pointed out from beneath his trunk-like nose and baggy blue trousers swung along his legs. His golden banded wrists swayed as he approached the standing tall sumo wrestler.
"Oh? A new challenger appears!" Napapa raised a brow at the newcomer.' I can feel it in the air, this one is indeed here for a contest. The warrior's spirit he possesses pulses even over here,' the sumo wrestler smiled grinning his teeth as Murichim watched.
"I assume the challenges are still open," the newcomer elephant asked with a narrowed gaze. His skinny but defined arms flexed as he moved them to his sides awaiting an answer.
Napapa stepped forth allowing Murichim with moved from the broken ring." Yes, there are. I, as Yokoduna, accept all challenges on the appointed days. So, tell me what your name is, and we can begin," the purple skinned being slammed his hands to his belly in an intimidating gesture.
"Rumush," he said with a hearty tone. His hands moved from his hips satisfied with the answer that he received from the sumo and to a position in front of his body.
Napapa looked to the stage and nodded." Let the match begin!" a hand swiped up from a short alien bearing a flag.
The elephant bowled forth win a charge his head lowered, and arms kept behind him for balance." Hah, no one has taken my off my feet so easily," the muscular warrior explained slapping his belly.
"I am not no one," his head bowled into Napapa's stomach. The force blasted the tiles behind the massive alien sky-high and broke the wall that was directly behind him. His feet lifted from the ground with the charge and his arms flailed into the air wildly.
"Er! Doskoi!" Napapa crashed down with his shoulders smashing into the pink elephant's chest. Rumush stumbled, but he did not halt from the blow. He rammed his shoulders and crossed arms back at Napapa tilting him back yet again." Doskoi!" he roared falling forth and meeting an equal stalemate with his smaller opponent. Tiles cracked as Rumush repelled him with another shoulder strike.
Rumush proceeded to loop his right and left hands through the mowashi around the sumo wrestler's waist." Good match," respectfully the elephant said hefting Napapa from the ground. He proceeded to spin to the side and deliver and izori of epic proportions.
The ring dented with the force of Napapa collapsing there. The stands pulled from their position along the side of the arena and a tremor would have measured on the Richter scale if there was one. Rumush pushed up with his long trunk waving confidently, the trembling ground having no effect on his position. His biceps flexed as he placed his right and left hands against his side.
"Bikuta! Rumush!" the flag carrier that began the match announced sweeping the flag into the air." A new Yokoduna has been crowned!" he shouted concurrently, shock present in his voice.
Napapa pushed up from the ground heavily, his muscles arms wobbling while sweat poured down from his face.' No one has ever done that in this Universe. Not even Murichim, he is truly special,' the sumo great stood up bowing to his opponent with respect." Well deserved," he replied standing from the bow as Rumush did the same.
"We can now begin the-" the flag bearer was cut off by a dark flash lighting the sky.
Shadowy clouds pulled across the clear blue sky, shading the entire arena with panic. Those on the ring looked up with narrowed eyes as faint thunder rumbled in the distance. They felt something within the clouds that many could not: something was coming to face them. Shadows danced atop the clouds slowly beginning to descend through the clusters of dark billows.
Universe Eleven...
Jiren sat meditating on the balcony of Pride Trooper headquarters. His black eyes opened swiftly though with the noise of a dark flash of lightning parsing through the air. He unfolded his legs with the arrival of the dark smoke and rolling thunder, the shivers of the brutal winds beginning to whip through with it. Black and purple lights danced against dull reds.
Jiren walked to the railing folding his arms over his chest. His calm features were stone-like, and his black eyes were focused.' It has only been a few days. Sensibly they did not want us to prepare too much of a counter,' he noted as the darkness continued to billow and rumble about. The air crackled with discharge and he smiled turning back to the facility.
"Dyspo, Kaseral," he spoke feeling their energies pass along the doorway that led to the balcony.
"Yes sir," they nodded together respectfully as Jiren kept his back to them.
"Your assistance is going to be crucial with the amount of energy that is coming from these dark clouds, we need to deploy safety protocol. Get as many people as possible to basement of the headquarters," Jiren said strategically while pulling himself over the balcony to float in the air." Afterward, I will need you at the edge of the city. This is going to be an all hands on deck battle," he continued before flicking his left foot and shooting high into the air.
"You heard the man," Dyspo said to Kaseral, who nodded.
"We need to get to it then. Whatever is coming does not seem patient enough to wait," Kaseral said looking down the hall.
"I agree, I'll take the lead, you get in touch with the cadets. You're better at that," Dyspo said bolting down the hall at his peak speed.
Kaseral lowered his head and followed." This is Captain Kaseral, all hands report to Netfiss City to retrieve civilians. All non-civilian retrieval cadets head to the outskirts of the city to provide added protection, just do not get in Jiren's way," Kaseral said through the communicator attached to his cybernetic eye.
Earth...
Raditz and Son Goku were pushed back by a dark wall of light that crashed from the darkening sky. Their clothes whipped in the winds while their eyes narrowed focusing on the massive energy that had descended in front of them, numerous more pouring out behind that. They assumed stance while the winds continued pushing along past them.
"Looks like we got our answer pretty quick, eh Kakarot?" Raditz asked raising a brow, an army of helmeted soldiers staring them down from behind two monolithic pillars of power.
Son Goku smiled looking at the two ringleaders rather than the fodder than surrounded them." Yeah, I think you're right," the palm haired hero said seriously. his fist balled releasing a wall of white energy that pushed through the darkness.
Raditz's black hair pushed up with a white veil that pushed the smoke and dark clouds from the two massive energies." There is no sense in either of you hiding, your energies give it away," he snickered folding his arms over his chest to look at them.
His black eyes though wavered as he looked at the first of the two being. Her white hair was in a different shape than he recalled, now with two spikes rising from the center, and her attire had changed to a more formal garb, but he knew her face. It was the demon that had brainwashed Rote many years ago, the same demon who he killed with a mere flick of his wrist." Towa," Bardock's eldest ground his teeth, his black eyes narrowing.
"Greetings, Raditz, it's been thirteen long years since you and I last met," Towa smiled her wooden staff tapping against the ground." Would you care to resume where we left off?" she said cruelly her black lips turning her smile crueler.
Raditz's black hair turned upward into a Super Saiyan glow, his black eyes changing to blue-green orbs." If you want to die again, I can do that," he cracked his knuckles resuming his battle stance.
"Hey, can you handle her on your own Raditz?" Goku asked looking to the second figure. The being was obviously caprine in appearance while also being decrepit with age. His red eyes were sunken beneath wrinkled brows and his arms were tensed with tight skin over his muscles. Bandages bound his wrists and ankles while fur and baggy trousers covered his torso and legs.' This guy is pretty crazy too. His energy is like a million people screaming at once,' the youngest of Bardock's sons noted mentally.
Raditz nodded." Yes, you take the goat," the long haired Saiyan said strongly.' We need to be cautious though. There is something bizarre about these two, in more way than one,' he thought carefully while setting his eyes on Towa.
"Sure thing. Just keep your surroundings in mind okay. Things could get tricky," Goku said, his palming black hair shooting up into Super Saiyan. His boots adjusted and he prepared while the horde behind the pair began to lift up and float into the air.
Raditz nodded, his arms tensing up." I wasn't thinking about going in blind, but thanks for the advice. I hope you listen to it yourself" Raditz spoke lowly so only his brother could hear while the pair looked down upon the Saiyans.
"Well, I'm not that naive," Earth's hero replied bouncing back on his heels.
'Interesting, confident enough to face us in one on one encounters. What bizarre beings,' Moro narrowed his gaze looking at Son Goku and Raditz carefully. To his side Towa was smiling.' No matter their confidence though their energy is merely food for me. Mortals stand little chance,' he huffed through his nose as the brother's tensed.
Towa looked over her shoulder to the legion of faceless soldiers behind her." You have no purpose here, go and continue our cause. We will be with you shortly," Towa instructed and quietly they lifted from the ground and departed through the sky, leaving the quartet along on the mountain.
"You think they'll get far? You're doubting the Earth," Raditz commented as the troopers vanished from the sky.
"And you are taking this far too lightly. You should be concerned about me alone," Towa snickered sweeping her staff around patiently.
"Fine, this won't take long!" Raditz shouted shooting toward the female Demon.
"It's time to end this before it starts! Haa!" Goku added in charging straight for Moro.
"How interesting," the blue furred goat smiled as the Earth raised Saiyan approached.
The Invasion comes to an end and now the Multiverse is at war! Will the mightiest be able to repel the forces of the Demon Realm or will they fall under the boots of their opponents? What will the outcome be as Raditz takes on Towa and Son Goku challenges Moro? What other battles are raging in the Universes? Find out as the story continues...
Reviews:
R: Seeing Mira completely effortlessly taking down Shin and Elder Kai through Magic, which isn't something he seems to specialize in, while also knocking out Koshin with one blow is insane, and awesome to see. Goku and Raditz seem serious about preparing to face off against Demon Realm is awesome, I can't wait for them to realize that even they are outclassed right now. Seeing Vegeta pissed and worried about those aboard the Grand Tour was awesome and completely in character. By any chance is Liqquer being trained as a Hakaishin? I got those vibes moreso than just a warrior being trained to become Divine. The part about them not killing the Hakaishin or Kaioshin because of it alerting The King is really cool, and makes complete sense. I know I say this basically every chapter, but I am absolutely loving this story, it fits well into what was established in Destiny Shattered, but grows even further.
A: Mira had assistance from Mechikabura, more specifically Towa, to deal with the Kais themselves. I tried really hard to get Goku and Raditz prepared and we'll have to see how ready there are for the Demon Realm ;). Liquiir is being trained to be the next Universe Eight Hakaishin yes; it isn't as subtle as I want it to be but that's the point coming across.
R: Oh man the Universe 7 Supreme Kais are kidnapped by the demon Mira. Moro has feasted Planet Yadrat, the situation is already escalating, and sooner or later big war against Lord Mechikabura and his army is about be unleashed. I'm so excited.
A: This is only the beginning.
Thank you all so much for reading this week and hope you enjoy,

Hit looked up from his position in the empty city landscape." I was expecting a Demon God," the purple skinned assassin remarked looking at the being that came from the dark tear in the sky.
"And I was expecting a rematch with Son Gohan, but it appears that we both are not going to get what we want today," the being said brashly. His spotted exoskeleton glowed beneath a golden-white aura, his pink eyes narrowed on the purple assassin. Then, he smiled." Well, I will. It will not take me too long to kill the likes of you," Cell said bemused.
Hit's resting hands failed to budge." So, that is how it will be then? Very well."
"So, you are my opponent now," Jiren remarked letting out a clam breath while he kept his eyes closed.
Jiren's eyes twitched as he looked up finding a giant machine being dropping from the sky. Its huge feet crushed into the ground shredding trees and concrete from their position with sheer mass. Tracing along its body one could make out that it had white boots that leg into massive purple legs. Its torso was mostly covered by a black garment that went down its arms to white bands and to the top of its chest where a guard housing a large green crystal rested. Its white head bore a giant gem situated in the center of the forehead and two antennae-like protrusions that stuck out from the side with smaller blue gems.
"This is going to be quick," he boomed as the horde of nameless soldiers descended from the dark rift in the sky.
