Chapter 26: Killer Instinct - Part 2

Noca looked at what Vernege had just become and he had no words for what it was. This transformation was something new and extremely unusual. The so called 'Demonic' power fused with the power of a Super Saiyan was something very new. The sheer output of energy was off-putting and Noca didn't know if he could counter it. He was already the highest form of Full Powered Super Saiyan. The furthest the multiplier form could be taken, but with he and Vernege being close to the same level before and now he had the multiplier of a Super Saiyan it was too much. He had basically ascended all the way to Super Saiyan 2 and it wasn't something Noca was confident of beating

Gohan and Vegeta noticed Noca's hesitance at the sight of the newly powered Vernege and they started to believe he would need their help. The two experienced fighters turned and nodded to each other and moved forwards. Noca felt their energies rising and looked in the corner of his eye, over his shoulder. He noticed they were going to help him.

"Don't," Noca yelled back at them. The two Saiyans halted and stepped back. They didn't want to let Noca go into this alone, but he really didn't want their help?

"I can do this alone," Noca said calmly. He didn't really believe that in this moment, but he had to try. The two Saiyans looked at each other again and both held questioning looks. Gohan looked rather worried, but it only took a couple of seconds for Vegeta to realise his student no longer needed the help of his Master. Sure, they were allies, they would be sparring partners now, but…Noca had ascended to the point of no longer needing any teaching. He may not yet be a Super Saiyan 2, but that didn't mean he was weak. Vegeta nodded to go and both powered down.

Pan looked at them both and wondered what was going on. She rushed to her father's side and started pleading with him to help Noca. She was yelling and even started crying. Gohan simply placed his hands on her shoulders, but she just started hitting him. Noca heard Pan's panic and closed his eyes. He started to calm every part of himself, sure, it was a lie, but it was the only way he could make Pan understand.

The girl could feel Noca's emotions and their connection was shining through despite all the negative energy in the air. She could tell he was worried, scared, angry…but she knew he could do it. Noca kept his gaze fixed forwards and Pan knew he was concentrated on winning the fight and he was about to give it his all. Pan accepted it and backed away from her father.

Noca started to walk towards Vernege and his aura started to spark a little bit.

"You're a monster for everything you've done…" Noca yelled out at the enemy, "You murdered you own family and…"

"They were not my family!" Vernege shouted, interrupting the teen. "Hybrids…and traitors, don't make for for worthy Saiyan Warriors."

Noca didn't like hearing those words. His family were not traitors and they were definitely more worthy than this cruel, condescending fool.

"They aren't true Saiyan."

After hearing that, something triggered in Noca's instinct and a huge spark of energy went around his body. That didn't go unnoticed by the onlookers. Noca thinks about all his family and friends, the Saiyan ones, and how they are some of the greatest people he knew. And they were Saiyans, some Hybrids. He even thinks about his Mother some more and that only angers him further. Thinking on from his Mother, even his Father came into his mind. His life turned out horribly because of Vernege's actions.

Noca had a powerful glare fixed over his face as he looked up at Vernege again.

"I'm going to show you why that…is Bullshit."

A shock wave rumbled through the ground and sky and the energy shot from out of Noca. Everyone was moved by that power and were pretty surprised. It had basically come out of nowhere. Noca is standing completely still, but of course he was unaffected, he was the epicentre of the wave. His energy continues to rise and then a powerful aura exploded from within. The violently shining Golden aura was blinding everyone who was in the area. The aura began to grow wider and fiercer.

Noca's hair was beginning to wave area more manically and started to rise up. The wind in the area had picked up and was raging around Noca. The blue sparks of energy started to fizz around Noca's body and past his eyes. Noca's vision was fixed solely upon Vernege ahead of him and he was feeling really damn enraged. The energy that escaped from Noca was flooding through the area and awakened any sleeping animals, it disturbed every single bit of wildlife in the area and they were all being forced to run away and get to safety.

They had to get away from the Animal that was brewing inside of a 14-Year-Old Quarter-Saiyan boy. Rocks in the area started to shatter and crumble from the force of Noca's energy and you could hear the loud noise of large chunks of rock from nearby landmasses falling down. The Area around Noca began to crate slight with Noca still standing still. He started to tense up some more as the energy was finally having its effect on his body. Noca began to yell from the strain of getting all this power under control. His muscles started to tense and bulk up a little. Then teen even got a little taller.

The static in the air was going absolutely mental and Noca was just embracing every tiny bit of this fierce power. The huge aura around Noca finally shot in towards him and once it did there was a huge explosion of power. An amazing yell roared from Noca as a huge blinding light shone. Everyone had to shield their eyes or look away. Vernege turned away as Noca was reaching the end of this amazing transformation.

Eventually, the light finally began to die down and everyone was able to get a look at what had become of Noca. Vernege turned back and took a good look at the boy that had caused so many problems. Now he had become one hell of a problem. Vernege's eyes widened at what he could see. The others all knew what Noca was doing, but it was still a very shocking sight to witness. If anyone didn't know what happened, Gohan was there to outright confirm what was standing in front of them.

"Noca…Noca has become a Super Saiyan 2!"

Vegeta looked at Gohan and then back to Noca. He noticed something that he could be One Hundred Percent proud of.

"He has full control over it…" Vegeta stated, with some slight happiness in his voice, "Finally."

Gohan turned and nodded at Vegeta.

"We can see the multiplier certainly does have a great affect on him. He was just as strong as you when you were Ascended when he was a Normal Super," Gohan stated, to clarify. "This is just on another level…"

Vegeta was kind of in awe, but he couldn't admit it. At least not out loud.

"You have surpassed me Noca," The Prince said in his head. He let a smirk start to crawl across his face and then he opened his eyes to look in Noca's direction. "But not for long."

Vernege had no idea what he should think or feel about this transformation. First he surprises them all by finding it in him to become a Super Saiyan for the first time. Not only that, but he fuses it with his demonic abilities to make it one of the greatest power-ups ever. And now…now…Noca becomes a Super Saiyan 2 with full control and just blows all of that out of the water. Vernege shook his head in disappointment and then let a smirk come over his face.

Noca stepped forward and had something to say.

"I'm finally ready to end this."

Vernege looked up and chuckled to himself.

"This is going to be really interesting…" He stated, still smirking. "And one of us will surely die."

Noca took a second, but had a response to that statement.

"Mark my words…it will…be you."

No more words were needed as both fighters instantly exploded from their spots and charged towards each other with all the intensity of their new forms. Both of them threw their right fist forward and when they met in the middle, so did both fists. The collision was enough to send yet another huge wave of energy through the air, but it didn't stop there. Both jumped away and charged forward again. Vernege threw his right fist forward once more, but Noca showcased his new speed and caught it without so much as a blink. He caught with his left so that his stronger arm was free.

He threw a right punch for Vernege's head, but the Demonic Saiyan ducked under the attack and attempted an uppercut. Noca was forced to back off to avoid that hit. Vernege showing that he too had a huge speed increase. The Demon Saiyan threw his right forward once again, but Noca easily dodged that one. Vernege acted swiftly by throwing the left in their straight away. Vernege had to dodge back to the other side to avoid that one, but Vernege was in a repetitive mood. He threw the same right punch as before, but Noca caught this one, only to have the left coming back at him. He too caught that one.

Noca created an opening for himself by moving Vernege's arms out wide. He lifted his right leg and used that to push Vernege back and gain some distance to perhaps take an advantage. Vernege stumbled away and Noca jump forward with a punch aimed down with his right. Vernege looked up and phased to avoid that attack meaning Noca struck nothing. Noca landed down, but knew he would need to remain vigilant.

Vernege charged in from Noca's left and the teen had to twist forward rapidly and he only just narrowly avoided being hit. Vernege went forward and landed, needing to slide and turn rapidly. He managed it and quickly flew back towards Noca. He was going forward with all the backing of his power and Noca had to throw his arms up in a tough cross block. The only problem was that Noca just didn't put enough into it. Vernege broke right through the block and got the opening he wanted.

Noca's arms were away from his body and Vernege was able to make the attack he had planned. He threw a load of rapid punches into Noca's torso. There was nothing the teen could do to block, Vernege was moving too fast with these attacks. Vernege then stopped and stuck his leg out swiftly, kicking Noca away. The teen bounced away across the ground and smashed into a rock. It did hurt his back, but at least it was only the rock that cracked. Noca pushed up and shook off the pain. He shouldn't have really taken a moment and should've moved immediately. Vernege was dropping in with a strong punch.

Noca looked up and quickly jumped up away. Vernege's punch missed the teen and just crashed through the rock, Noca started to rise away a bit to gain some distance and rethink his strategy. Vernege had already phased into another attack. He appeared behind Noca and grabbed Noca's arms and held them back behind him. The teen hadn't seen that coming, but it wasn't exactly the greatest plan in the world.

"You should give up, I'm stronger than you," Vernege stated, smugly.

Noca thought over the fight and it only amused him. The teen chuckled lightly and stated to power-up his aura and an explosive wave pushed Vernege away. Noca quickly twisted to the left and smacked a backhand against the side of Vernege's face and then followed that with a right hook as he faced Vernege. He finished the move with a swiftly left jab that sent Vernege back through the air. He had to take a second to shake the attack off, but that was kind of a mistake as Noca wasn't taking any more breaks. He flew in towards the Demon Saiyan once again and performed a reverse-spinning-kick and smashed his left foot against Vernege's face, propelling him towards the ground.

Noca straightened up and finished it off by throwing an overhead Ki blast. Vernege had just reached the ground and quickly sat up, but was only greeted by the shining light of the incoming energy blast. His eyes widened as the blast crashed down upon him and exploded immediately. The area was filled with smoke and light from the blast, but Vernege managed to shoot up out of the smoke, completely unharmed. He got to the sky and had time. He looked around for Noca, but couldn't spot the teen.

He wasn't given much time to keep searching as Noca phased in behind him and smashed his foot down on Vernege's face. That attack sent Vernege falling towards the ground again, but this time he was able to roll in the air and straighten up. He charged back towards Noca immediately and was getting pretty angry now. Once he was in close he threw a right jab, but Noca easily dodged it. A left jab was next, but Noca also dodged that one easily. Vernege repeated the same trick, but Noca was in charge right now and once again he dodged them with ease.

Vernege was frustrated and sent a Ki blast towards Noca instead, but the teen easily phased away. The Demonic Saiyan turned around and threw an angered barrage of Ki at his opponent. Noca just simply hovered there as the blast were rapidly coming in his direction. When they reached the appropriate distance, Noca just started swatting them away with all the ease in the Universe. Vernege wasn't letting up though and Noca didn't want to deal with it anymore. He phased forwards through the blasts and was right in front of Vernege. He finally stopped firing the blasts when he realised and that when Noca sent his right fist plunging into his opponents Gut. He retracted the attack and sent a powerful uppercut in with his left. Vernege was straightened so Noca had to reposition. He rose up above the Demon Saiyan and dropped his right fist into Vernege's head. The sheer force fired Vernege down towards the ground once more. This time he actually crashed down.

He quickly sat up and did all he could in his infuriated state. He threw yet another Ki blast up towards Noca. The teen sighed and watched it sail right towards him. As it was coming in close Noca reeled his right arm back and at that right moment, he smashed it forward and crashed his fist into the blast, sending it back at Vernege. The Demon Saiyan's eyes widened once more and he was forced to dive away from it. The blast crashed down and blew smoke everywhere again. Vernege was on his front, facing away from the blast and his sight was soon greeted by Noca's feet. The teen had phased down quickly and had his attack ready.

Vernege was about to push himself up and move away, but Noca was fast and kicked Vernege in the face. The hit sent him lifting off into the air and distance again. Noca started running forward to keep up with Vernege's moving body and at the same time he threw a blast to follow him. Vernege managed to stop himself, but he wasn't quick enough to notice the blast as it collided with his body and exploded. He started to fall towards the ground immediately and this was Noca's chance. He was still running and decided to leap the rest of the way. He jumped towards Vernege and grabbed onto his leg as he moved up, but then he altered the direction, span around in the air and launched the monster back into the ground.

Vernege smashed down onto his front, and now Noca followed him once more. He dropped down rapidly and crunched his knee into the Demon Saiyan's spine. Vernege's body arched and he let out a pain yelp. Noca then jumped up flipped away, landing on his feet perfectly. He gave Vernege the chance to get back to his feet, but only because he had an idea of just how humiliating this must be.

He was feeling truly enrage by everything going on as he got to his feet.

"I…shouldn't be losing this battle…" He grumbled in a low, disgruntled tone. He turned to look at Noca and saw something he was really surprised about. The sheer focus and determination that Noca wore like a badge of honour was truly astounding and terrifying at the same time. Vernege was nowhere near as composed as his enemy. If he wasn't a hybrid or the product of a traitor, Vernege would have been proud to call a Saiyan like Noca his nephew. But that wasn't enough to wipe out everything that his Father did. (Or at least what he believed his Father had done.)

Vernege stumbled forward a little and kept his glare fixed on Noca, but the teen still wore a glare of his own. Noca didn't once take his eyes off of Vernege. The Demon Saiyan didn't like this. It angered him. He let out a tremendous yell of rage and screamed something that only a Six-Year-Old would really say.

"IT'S NOT FAIR!"

His power exploded once more and he charged towards Noca with tremendous pace. Noca easily stuck his left arm up to block, but misjudged Vernege's power in this situation. That anger had caused Vernege to power up and Noca may just be in a little bit of trouble. He broke through Noca's block and sent his left fist forward. Noca had to twist right and duck back to avoid that attack, but Vernege was quick to use his right leg and get it behind Noca's left. He lifted the leg and Noca was tripped.

He quickly and aggressively followed up and sending his knee up into Noca's back. There was an audible crack and Noca let out a pained grunt, but more pain was on its way as Vernege slammed his fists down on Noca's stomach and that sent him flat into the ground. Vernege dropped down and quickly lifted Noca up by a strong grip around his throat. Once he had Noca lifted so he was no longer touching the ground, Vernege let go and sent a thundering right fisted uppercut into his chin. That sent Noca up into the air and back down on his back with a thud.

Vernege moved forwards and placed his foot squarely in the centre of Noca's chest and started to press down, hard. Noca could feel it crush his chest a little and also pushing out a lot of air. Noca powered up a little more to help push against this attack, but it wasn't really doing a lot and Vernege was still in a very strong position. It did help hold off against some of the pain. Vernege held his arm up and pointed a finger forward. He aimed it at Noca's shoulder and fired a small blast through the teen's right shoulder. The blast tore right through just like the blast had gone through his chest earlier.

Noca really felt the pain and he cringed from it. He closed his eyes as the stinging pain shot through the entire right side of his body. Pan witnessed this attack and yelled out for Noca. Her voice carried through the air right to Noca's ears and whenever he heard Pan's voice in any sort of distress that certainly woke something up within him. He opened his eyes and grabbed onto Vernege's leg with both his hands. The Demon Saiyan notices and started to push down some more. This worked as a sort of pump as more blood stated to rise out of the wound. Noca felt more and the pain, but he put power into what he was doing and continued to push with his might. All the tensing he was doing did help push a lot more blood to the surface though and that wasn't really what he wanted to happen. He ignored it though and continued to push.

He did eventually manage to push Vernege away though and quickly stood up. He looked at his shoulder and saw the wound may cause a problem if it continued to bleed. Especially since it came through on the other side as well. Noca quickly tore some fabric from the leg of his Gi and put one end in his mouth. He then started to tie it around his shoulder to stop the blood from pouring. He then returned his focus to the opponent ahead of him. Both just stared at each other and were sizing one another up. They had come to a new stage of this fight and both needed to be completely ready for whatever happened next.

Vernege was wearing a smirk and Noca knew exactly what that smirk meant.

"You're too overconfident," The teen stated. Vernege was taken aback by that accusation and just started laughing.

"It's because I know that I'll win," Vernege said before he continued laughing. Noca just shook his head in response to that.

"You just made my point…" Noca muttered, looking away.

"Shut up and just fight!" Vernege yelled in response to that. Noca blinked and looked back to Vernege.

He didn't waste any more time and flashed towards Vernege, but phased at the very last minute. Vernege had thrown up a block and believed he was safe, but Noca was really damn fast. He charged in from the right and smacked his knee against the side of Vernege's head. The Demon Saiyan dropped away to the left and twisted around to face Noca again. But Noca had moved forward quickly and jabbed his right fist into the centre of Vernege's chest. The Demonic Fighter continued to stumble back and Noca phased once more.

This time he swung in from the left and landed a strong kick against the back of Vernege's head and that knocked the warrior forward. He fell to his knees and then Noca dropped in with his elbow completely flattening Vernege out. The teen quickly flipped and landed ahead of the warrior and charged in. Vernege slowly started to push up, but the teen was in the best position and kicked him in the face again. Vernege was lifted up and flipped onto his back. Noca flew forward again and grabbed the front of Vernege's outfit and threw him into a plateau. The Demon Saiyan was embedded in the side of the large rock formation.

Then powerful teen landed in front of Vernege and pulled his right arm back quite far and unleased a powerful punch that struck Vernege right in the chest. The sheer force was enough to send Vernege crashing right through the plateau and the entire thing crumbled to nothing. Vernege continued to crash through lots of rocks before eventually landing on the ground. He had to take a second for deep breath and pushed himself up again. He saw that Noca was slowly walking towards him, same intense look on his face. Vernege stood up and stumbled a little, but managed to balance out.

"I…I will win…I can't be beat!" Vernege yelled, despite already looking pretty beat.

He flew forward with a lot of pace, Noca could see what was coming. The Demon Saiyan threw a right punch, but Noca simply dropped back and held up with left arm to make the block. He then kicked out at Vernege's right leg with his left. This took out the Demonic Warrior's leg and he started to fall towards the ground. Noca rocketed his knee up into Vernege's face and that straight the Saiyan up, but then Noca continued the attack. A fast left hook across Vernege's face, followed by and right hook. A left gut shot was the next one before a right uppercut put Vernege back in his original position. Noca pulled his left arm down to his side and threw it forward and instead of hitting the Powerful Demon Saiyan, he simply used wind energy to knock him off of his feet and send him rolling across the ground.

Vernege eventually fell flat on his front and Noca walked forwards. He kneeled in front of Warrior and lifted him up by his hair. He looked at the face of his greatest foe and anger just started to wash over him. He smashed a right hook across Vernege's face and that knocked it right into the dirt. Noca couldn't stop there. Something didn't let him. He then pounded about ten fiercely brutal punches with just his right, into Vernege's head. When Noca reach a number that he was satisfied with he stood back up and then sent a kick into the side of Vernege's head. The Warrior rolled away and Noca watched. He was breathing really heavily and some sort of Killer Instinct had completely washed over him. Blended with his pure rage…he was seething.

He didn't move for a minute and that let Vernege take his time to return to his feet. When he did eventually get that all he could do was laugh at what Noca was going through. That was painful for Noca's ears. He turned to face Vernege and wanted to know what was funny.

"This will just make me that much stronger…and soon…heh…soon…" Vernege looked Noca in the eye before saying the next bit, "You'll be with your poor Mother."

Not the right thing to say…in any circumstance. That was basically it for Noca. He snapped. His power was no longer in his control. He actions…they weren't his. He phased right in front of Vernege and smashed a left hook down. Quickly returned in with a right hook. A thundering left uppercut. A right punch down on Vernege's head. Followed by two crushing left gut-shots and a left knee in the face. Vernege was knocked back and fell flat. Noca moved on top of him and slammed another left hook against his face. Then a right hook. Left hook. Right hook. He started to get faster with each one. Left hook. Right hook. Left hook. Right hook. He wasn't stopping, wasn't slowing, wasn't giving up.

Vernege's face was getting utterly bludgeoned and Noca enjoyed every single hit. Loads of blood was coming from Vernege's nose, mouth and loads of new open wounds on his face. His eyes were bloodshot and Noca was still going. Vernege was even laughing all the while and that only provoked Noca to punch harder and faster.

It didn't seem like anyone was going to do anything to stop this until someone had enough. It was Pan of all people. She screamed for Noca to stop, but no sound was getting to him. He was blocked off from reality and nothing could get him to stop from avenging his family. Gohan also yelled for Noca to stop, saying it was too much. Vegeta remembered how Gohan had stopped Noca against Tenura, the man who had killed his Mother.

"Why don't you stop!" Vegeta yelled at Gohan. No one argued with Vegeta. The Prince truly believed Noca would know when enough was enough. He just didn't seem to have it in him to kill someone, but this was new. "He needs this."

They decided to listen to Vegeta, but they didn't want to keep watching this. Pan covered her eyes. She couldn't bear any of it. Noca did find his moment though. He stopped and stood up stepping away from Vernege as he lay there on the ground looking very, very battered and beaten. So much blood was on his face and also on Noca's fists. Some had even got on his face. Noca started to walk away. He was taking deep breaths as he did, but he wasn't finished. At least something told him he wasn't finished. He closed his eyes and thought over all the events that had happened on this day and it still only served to enrage him. He looked back at Vernege and started to think over everything that he had done. More rage.

Noca looked away and shook his head to try and calm himself. Vernege started to finally return to his feet and he was still laughing all the time. Noca couldn't shake that sound from his head, but he did finally stop laughing, but it was only to speak some more.

"I told you…I would get stronger…" He said as he wobbled on his feet for a bit. Everyone turned to look at Vernege and wondered what was going on. The Demon Saiyan's aura shone bright once more and it did appear as if his power rapidly started to increase. It was shocking. How, after all that was he able to become stronger? He started to draw in immense amounts of energy and began to rise up into the air, looking down upon his foe.

"Now I will end it all with my final attack! No one will survive!"

He was drawing so much energy in and getting far too strong. It was terrifying, but Noca wasn't going to stand back. Vernege started building up a large Ki blast and that was when everyone knew exactly what the power was for. It was some of the most intense Ki preparation Noca had even witnessed. Noca had to fight back now. He couldn't waste any time and let Vernege have the advantage.

The teen threw his arms out wide and drew in loads of Ki energy. He was going to finish him and it looked like it was going to be with the Final Flash. Vegeta felt a little pride at seeing that being used, but he didn't get any time to react as the winds in the area seriously began to go wild. There were hurricane winds swirling through the air. So much static was in the air it was unreal. All this power was just so fierce and awful. Both Saiyan fighters were going all out in their attempts to end this here and now.

The onlookers had to shield themselves and hide away from this, but they really wanted to watch. They could feel Noca's energy skyrocketing to new levels and it was amazing. Noca stopped pouring energy into his attack for a second and moved his arms down to his right side and began to draw a lot more power down into that area. He was going for a Final Flash powered Kamehameha. This was going to be spectacular. Vegeta and Gohan looked to each other for a second and then back to the two powering up warriors. Noca wasn't holding back any of his power, even if it started to deplete his life energy, he had the power of all his family in the Other World going into this. He could feel Cilu, Emna, Daisy, even his father and…somehow…he could feel Kayu…all of them, standing behind him as he continued to power this Kamehameha.

He finally started to say the famous words.

"KA…ME!"

Vernege moved his hands forward, the energy all contained there for a second.

"HA…ME!"

The last bit of the Demon Saiyan's energy made it and he was ready. He let out some sort of war cry and then blasted his attack down upon the Earth.

But now…Noca was ready…he threw his arms forward and…

"HAAAA!"

He screamed with sheer intensity as he fired his Kamehameha up at the descending attack and he was putting all he could into this. Both blasts sailed towards each other, so much static firing around the sky at the same time. They were coming in close and they were going to make a big statement. They collided with such a huge effect and the thundering shock wave that emanated from the centre of the collision just had so much of an effect on the planet. So much power was washing over the entire world and the force was enough to shake everything. Everyone in the area was really feeling the effects of this power and had to keep control of themselves. It was one of the most intense moments Noca had ever been a part of and he was putting everything into it.

All that power going into this huge attack, and things were actually looking bleak for Noca. Vernege's attack had the advantage of dropping in and it was certainly causing a lot of trouble. All the energy and fierce rage going into all of this was crackling through the air. Vernege starts to believe that he is finally winning and finally going to beat the teen Saiyan that had caused all these problems.

That was until Noca's power seemed to find its second wind and so much more of it was thundering into the attack and pushing back against Vernege's. It was terrifyingly satisfying for Noca, but he knew things weren't over just yet. It was still a tough task. The weight of all that power and pressure pushing down on him was still really tough on his body, but Noca had no plans to give up. No plans to hold back. And no plans to lose. Vernege realised that Noca was finally starting to get ahead, but the Demon Saiyan was still really confident and tried to push far more power on this attack.

…

But nothing changed. The attacks were still battling in the exact same way and pouring all that energy and static over the entire area. So what had given. Why wasn't Vernege able to find any more power to pour into this attack? What was changed? What had happened?

The answer to those questions came when a voice rumbled through Vernege's head.

"You have failed," The deep, gruff voice said.

"What…no, I haven't failed! I…I can still win…" Vernege said in quite a pleading voice. He knew he was struggling, but he didn't think this was the end of the battle.

"No…you can't win. He will always best you…therefore…you are a failure."

"No Master, please…all I need is a little more power!"

"Power?! If I was to continue lending you my power, then I may as well have come down there and done it myself!"

Vernege winced at the sound of his raging Master. Everything he said was true and it thoroughly disappointed the Demon Saiyan. Vernege started to feel as if some of his power was draining. The red aura vanished and something was really changing. The Master's voice started to fade away as he said his last statement.

"It's over…"

"No…please…NO! I CAN WIN!"

Vernege's pleading yells weren't by anyone else over the fierce power of these attacks, but Noca certainly noticed a big difference in power. Vernege's power was vanishing and his control over the attack was dwindling. He was yelling in anger as he felt the attack falling back on him. He wasn't getting out of this one. Vernege continued to call out for his Master, but no one was coming to help him in this scenario. He had killed his own allies and now he was losing the battle.

Noca felt that he had the upper-hand and knew now that he needed to abuse that and end this…right here. He pulled back a little and then unleashed a thundering amount of power and that all pushed on the Ki. All of it started to pick up pace and began thundering towards Vernege as he hovered there with his complete lack of control over the attack. He was no longer a Super Saiyan and he was about to lose this battle. The leftover energy of Vernege's attack and the huge Kamehameha that Noca had produced blended together and fired the rest of the way towards Vernege.

The Invader Saiyan had nowhere to go. He just hovered there as the energy wave consumed him and fired its way into the air. It shredded through Vernege's skin and certainly caused a lot of pain and damage. Noca continued to push all the energy forward and it finally started to make its way into the atmosphere and away from any further danger. Noca released the blast and it flew into the distance. Noca kept his arms held in that same position and started to breath very heavily as he watched Vernege's extremely damaged and hurt body fall to from the sky.

Was this it? Had he won?

Vernege's body crashed down into the ground and he was simply laying on his back. Noca dropped his arms and looked over to the injured and beaten enemy. The teen took a step towards him and instantly started wobbling on his legs. He didn't realise just how much energy had been taken out of him by that attack. He slowly started to walk towards the Warrior while the others just watched on. No one knew what to say or do in this moment.

Noca finally reached the enemy and dropped to a knee beside him.

"You…were meant to be family…people…are meant to be loyal their family. You were anything but…"

Vernege didn't respond to any of it, but his eyes did open. Noca had no sympathy for the villain and his rage was still pretty high, but he just had to say his peace.

"We both come from Kayu and Cilu…"

"I…Don't…care…" Vernege said weakly, clearly finding it very painful to speak. "The bloodline that began with Kayu…will one day…end…with Noca."

Noca thought on those words and they angered him. He started to clench his fist, but Vernege had more to say.

"All of you hybrids are a disgrace…as is…as is my dear Prince…"

That was an opinion Noca could never accept and he had to stop it.

"There are plenty of us hybrids now. We are the future of the Saiyan race…and there will be many, many more," Noca stated confidently as he looked up at his allies. Pan in particular. Vernege started to cough as he prepared to say some more.

"De…Despite being betrayed…I believe my Master will win…he will kill you…and then his will be done…"

Noca couldn't listen to this anymore and needed to do something he had promised Cilu he would do. He grabbed Vernege by the front of his outfit once more and brought him close.

"Who is your Master?"

Vernege only responded by laughing in the teen's face. Noca dropped him and stood up. He moved to the enemy's leg and stamped down upon his shin, breaking right through it. Vernege let out a cry of pain and started coughing uncontrollably once again.

"Tell me!" Noca yelled, ferociously.

"Ku…Ku…" Vernege took a breath and swallowed, "Kuyato…"

We have a name. Noca looked down upon Vernege with the same glare. He didn't recognise the name, but at least they had one. They definitely had something to go on. Noca turned to look at the others as he thought about what must be done next. They started to finally approach when they realised Vernege wasn't moving anywhere. Noca looked back down upon Vernege and held his hand out. He had it aimed at the enemy and swallowed hard.

"I need to do what Cilu instructed of me…"

Vernege didn't know what this meant, but he could tell by that look in Noca's eye that it was something he was maybe a bit unsure of. Gohan, near enough to notice, had something to say about this.

"Noca…don't do it," Gohan instructed the teen. Noca turned to face the man, but his expression still remained the same.

"In this case there aren't any other options," Noca stated confidently. Vegeta was by Gohan's side and just looked at the injured and beaten Vernege.

"There is always another option, mercy is always an option," Gohan said in a stern manner.

"And you believe this man deserves Mercy?" Noca questioned angrily.

"You don't have to be a Killer, Noca…you aren't a Killer…" Gohan said in a semi-pleading voice.

"People change," Noca replied bluntly, "Some people don't change when they should…and those people must be rid of…to make the Universe a better place."

Noca turns away from the two experienced Saiyans and walks towards Vernege again. Pan steps forward, but doesn't have anything to contribute to the matter. Gohan opened his mouth to try and say something else, but Vegeta just held his arm to tells him to be quiet. Gohan looked to Vegeta and then back to Noca.

The teen crouched down beside Vernege again and placed his hand on the Evil Saiyan's chest. Vernege looked into Noca's eyes and was actually starting to feel a bit scared.

"Please…let me live…" Vernege pleaded with the teen, but Noca was set, he had decided what was going to be done.

"Not gonna happen…" Noca started to raise his power and was directing it to his hand, "You're the reason my Mother's dead…"

A fast blast of Ki was ripped through Vernege's chest and plenty of blood splattered up into Noca's face. Pan gasped and covered her mouth in shock at what Noca did. Gohan looked away and sighed while Vegeta just kept looking on with the same expression. All the life energy vanished from within Vernege and the monster…was dead.

Noca stood up again and dropped back to his base form and finally embraced the feeling of letting all that power lift off of him. All of that pressure had gone. It was finally over. The weirdest thing…nobody seemed to be reacting to it. Everybody was just standing still and mulling over the whole situation.

Vegeta was the first one to approach Noca and simply just stood next to him. Pan was standing completely still and had no idea what she should feel in this moment. Gohan turned to face Uub and Piccolo.

"I think it's best we gather the Dragon Balls," Gohan recommended, but Piccolo was there to deliver just a small bit of bad news.

"We can't," Piccolo said bluntly, both Gohan and Uub were confused. "We still have under a month until the Dragon Balls become active again…remember what happened with the tournament?"

Both Gohan and Uub turned to face each other and they were clearly annoyed by this revelation. It was something they had all completely forgot about. This wasn't good.

(A/N – I should have focused on the dates closer. I completely forgot about the Dragon Balls. Obviously they need a year to be active again. Completely my fault.)

"Is there nothing we can do?!" Uub asked, feeling rather annoyed. Piccolo looked over to him and then to the ground. He started to think. Inside Piccolo's head was Kami, the former Guardian of Earth, and that meant Piccolo had extensive knowledge of the Dragon Balls. There must be something he could do.

"It may be a long shot…but if I use the power I gained from Kami together with Dende, then perhaps…" Piccolo said, but he sounded very unsure.

"You have to try!" Uub exclaimed, urgently. Piccolo looked over at the Majin Human and then to Gohan. The Demi-Saiyan shrugged his shoulders and Piccolo closed his eyes.

"Who knows, maybe we'll be lucky," Piccolo said as he slowly lifted off the ground. Gohan looked to Uub and beckoned for the Young Fighter to follow. All three of them lifted up and charged off towards the Lookout.

Noca and Vegeta were left alone and they didn't say anything to each other, but they went and grabbed the other two bodies and placed them in the same area as Vernege. They gather the three dead warriors and cremated them. Both used small energy blasts to set their clothing alight and that soon spread to their bodies and the burning began.

Noca and Vegeta just stood and watched the blaze while Pan was still standing away and really didn't know what she should be doing. All she could say was that the really awkward silence was, well, awkward. She slowly approached Noca and held onto his hand. Noca didn't expect it, but he gripped on tight. Pan looked up in his eyes and could feel that his emotions well out of whack. She looked forward at the fire and tried to find her courage to speak.

"So…*ahem* do you feel anything for…killing…him?" Pan asked. She looked back up at Noca as he closed his eyes and took a breath.

"It felt…simple, but…I…I don't know…" He said as he looked down at her. Vegeta finally found his voice in this moment.

"Sometimes in a battle, you need to be the one to make the hard call."

Noca turned to look at the Prince and nodded in agreement before looking back at the fire. The sun was beginning to set and they knew it would soon be time to head off back home. Pan didn't know what to reply to that and just looked up at Noca again and noticed the blood still on his face. She took a Capsule out of her pocket and it was her school Capsule, so it stored her lunch. She had some tissue in there and used that to wipe the still wet blood from Noca's face. Once that was done she placed her hands gently on his cheeks and pulled up to plant a soft, needed kiss on his lips. Noca embraced the moment and wanted to stay there, but he knew it wasn't the right time.

She pulled away and smile at her boyfriend. He smiled back, albeit a little weakly.

"Are you going to be ok?" She asked softly.

"I will be…" Noca responded, "Maybe you should go check on Bra…I'm sure she's worried."

Pan nodded and turned to walk away. While she walked something came to her mind and she turned back to look at Noca.

"Maybe I'll go find that cat that was alone in North City," She said before smiling at Noca one last time and then taking off away. Noca smiled as she flew off, but his thoughts started to come back to him and he turned back to the fire. The two Saiyans stood watching the flames and not once did they look at each other.

"Did you know they were coming?" Noca asked simply. He didn't care for the answer, he just needed to clarify.

"Yes," Vegeta replied.

"Do you know of any Kuyato?" Noca asked.

"No," Vegeta replied.

"When we fight…will you be tougher on me, now?" This was Noca's final question.

Vegeta smirked a little.

"Of course, and I think we should take it to Space. That could really help further out abilities…and we could find out more about this Kuyato," Vegeta explained. Noca nodded and looked at Vegeta.

"That could be a good idea," The teen said, but soon his thoughts moved to Pan and how she would react. Vegeta turned to look at Noca and could see he was lost in his thoughts, but with how much he had been through, this wasn't the time for that.

"Don't dwell on it now though," Vegeta said, "Our time will come…soon."

And with that, Vegeta turned away and flew off. Noca didn't bother to move and continued to look at the fire as the Sun continued to set. He sighed and took a breath. He thought was about time he should head back, but his thoughts were still in control. He was really changing as a person and it was very weird, but that happened to everyone. Just in the same way.

Noca turned to walk away, but the white cloaked figure showed up once again and Noca couldn't decided whether he was dreaming or this was reality.

"Many things are beginning to change, boy," the being said in a very elegant tone, "You are finally noticing it and you will become so much more."

"What do you mean?" Noca asked, not really knowing what he should say right now.

"Let's just say, you are truly…awakening…"

Noca tried to get a look at this mysterious being's face, but couldn't.

"Who are you?" Noca asked.

…

"A Guardian."

There will be an epilogue, but I decided to give you all the future info in this chapter. Sorry to leave it on a little bit of a cliff-hanger, but things will always be clarified in the future.

This story feels like a huge accomplishment. It had taken me a year to write this one and that is a huge deal. This was so difficult to write, but you know what? I enjoyed every moment of it and I'm so proud of how far I have come. And it wouldn't have come this far if it wasn't for the great support I received from the few fans I have. I love that I basically have some regular reviewers and it is really cool to hear what people think. Thank you.

Now, about the future…after finishing this story I will finally be going back to edit the 3rd and 4th stories so the layouts are completely the same. I did say I was going to do it a year ago, but just couldn't be bothered at the time, but now I will do it!

After that I will begin to plan the next saga. I'm already looking forward to what I have planned and you guys should be as well. I will definitely take my time with it so don't expect a first chapter until September at the earliest. I am moving as well and will be getting started on my second year of University, but I will always give this story as much attention as I can I my free time. I'm also intending to do a lot more with my YouTube channel and team so if you want to check that out then PM me and I'll send the link.

The next saga will have a time-skip which I will cover in the first chapter and then the first arc will be my retelling of the events in Battle of Gods and then there will be an arc focussing on the events in Resurrection 'F', with my own twists. They won't have huge effects on the story as a whole. I just wanted to write for Beerus, Whis & Freeza. There will be no ties to Dragon Ball Super.

Thanks for reading, please leave me plenty of reviews. They've been lacking in the past few chapters and it really disappoints me because I'm really proud of these chapters. Thanks again and look forward to the future.

Next Time…Epilogue

DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
