A/N: It's been a while. Been busy with work and life. But I'm back for now. For those who read this fanfic, Thank you so much. As Always, please drop a review, and enjoy the show ;)
The fighters of Universe 6 and 7 watched on with what could only be described as an impromptu main event squash fight. By that, there was one clear side that was winning, and was going to win. For inspite of all the power he had gathered with his plan, Diablo was not doing nearly as well as he thought against his sister.
Try as he might, no punch was properly landed. No kick connected, and no energy attack phased Adrian. In fact, he seemed to grow just a bit stronger with some, as Diablo could only use chaos energy. And whenever Adrian went on the attack, she would always rip one of his limbs off, mostly using her hair to do so.
Vegeta: So this is her true strength.
Whis: You are correct Vegeta. When properly prepared, Adrian is virtually unstoppable. Beerus has tried to challenge her a couple times, but that never once worked out.
Beerus: Usually I would not accept something like that, but we're talking about a being who's job is to keep the damned souls in check. Though clearly she makes mistakes.
At that moment, Adrian quickly turned her head towards Beerus, looking none to impressed. Beerus's eye went wide, and he tried to look innocent. Diablo decided to take advantage of this opportunity, and went for a jump punch. But Adrian's hair caught it, and shredded the fist. There was another explosion of blood from the result, and a painful grunt from Diablo. He regenerated the hand, but the squash battle was taking effect. He no longer was in his dragon form. But rather his original, though less bulky demon form. Adrian smirked.
Back with the audience, Both Vega and Pan were channelling their respective energies into Xernia and Yveltal, thus neither were in their demi-godlike forms. Gohan had powered down to normal, and was actually being healed up by Dende and Buu. Adrian spotted this, and she continued to smirk, as her hair flung Diablo away.
Adrian: Hey Gohan. Think you can power up to that new form you achieved again? I just got a sweet idea in mind.
Gohan: Uhhh...I'll try.
Diablo: What are you trying to do now?
Adrian: Giving you your just dues. See I've had it with you Diablo. For many millenia, you have tried to overthrow me. And every single time, you failed, and you failed badly. Much like now. How much more humiliation are you going to take in your feeble attempts at conquest?
Diablo: Being the devil is my birthright. It should have been me who took the crown. YOU overthrew father!
Adrian: And once again, I did it to save the universe. And as for being the devil? You were the youngest of fathers boys, so until I killed Mephisto and Bael, you had no chance. And once again, you've shown that much like just about anything and everything else in this universe, I am the queen! Nobody dares fight me, because they all lose. Against almost anyone else, yeah you're better. But not me.
Diablo: Heh. You know what you have to do in order to stop me from constantly going after you.
Adrian: Oh I do. In fact, I have a small sliver of respect for your tenacity. Your will to keep getting back up inspite of the situation. Nevertheless, you have ignored my mercy for the last time. You are of course, guilty of many crimes against me, and the stability of the realms of universe 7. You want to live brother, you have to earn this one.
Diablo: Heh. Sounds like you don't want to fight me. Guess I am getting to you.
Adrian moved towards Diablo, as he was slowly getting up. Her hair grabbed him, and lifted him up off the ground, and brought his close to Adrian, where she would lightly wrap her claw around his throat.
Adrian: The only 'getting' you've done is getting on my nerves. No. What's going to happen is a trial by combat. You win, you live. You lose, you die.
Diablo: And you selected the hybrid to fight me? This will be good.
Adrian: I agree.
Adrian let go of Diablo. He landed on his feet. He was still visibly itching for a fight. Adrian turned to Gohan, who then lept onto the main fighting area.
Adrian: Gohan. I've selected you for a couple of reasons. One, I am well aware of the first round fight that forced my brother to quickly gain strength. Though he technically has that advantage still, he won't be able to use chaos absorption nearly as much. I also sense your bloodlust. How you want to make him suffer. Power up to your maximum, and go nuts. Beat him. Humiliate him. Show him zero mercy, and focus all the anger you've ever accumulated, and make him pay.
Gohan nodded in full agreement, and even smirked. He backed away, giving himself some space. He dug deep, remembering the feeling of the moment he achieved Super Sayian Four. With all his focus, and being fully healed, he would quickly power up to Super Sayian Four. And that moment, Goku woke up from his incident. He was amazed.
Goku: Whoa. Gohan is that you?
Gohan: Damn right it is dad. This is a brand new form I just got and Diablo knows how powerful it is. And he's gonna get more of it.
Adrian: He shall. Do whatever you like to him.
Diablo: You just handed me some more life Adrian. He couldn't stop me then what makes you think he'll stop me now?
Gohan: You'll see the difference. And you will fully pay for trying to kill Pan. I am going to enjoy killing you.
Adrian: Actually...No you're not.
Gohan: Wait, what?
Adrian: Oh it's simple Gohan. You're not going to kill him. Because it would mean nothing. He will either be able to send his remains to the main realm, or his soul will simply return to Hell. No, he needs a guaranteed death. For he will have his soul destroyed. But to do that, I need him alive. But he can still regenerate. So really, try not to hold back.
Gohan looked at Adrian, and cussed under his breath. But he appeared to accept it, as he turned towards Diablo, and immediately used his knee to clock the renegade demon in the head. Gohan then began to wail upon Diablo. But Diablo broke free, and tried his hand at going on the attack. But Gohan, being fully healed up and actually having gained a bit more power due to his sayian biology, was able to quickly regain the advantage. With the fight started, Adrian slowly walked towards the rest of the crowd, as the two fought back and forth. She would eventually settle for sitting beside Vega, who could only look at his mother with pure admiration.
Vega: I...I honestly had no idea just how strong you actually are.
Adrian: It's been a few millenia since an actual threat forced me to show off.
Goku: You never sought out any challenges?
Adrian: I'll admit, the temptation was there. But unlike you, my duty came before my desires, because much like Shin and Beerus, I am part of what helps keep this universe in check. Afterall, you know what happened with my father, Assmodeus.
A big explosive sound was heard on the fight stage, as Gohan had slammed Diablo into the ground. He then picked Diablo up, and with energy powered fists, kept punching holes through Diablo. But diablo wouldn't stay down, as he regenerated.
Goku: Another question. Why didn't you let your bother regain his strength to fight my son?
Adrian looked at Goku, and began to laugh. This puzzled almost everyone. But Vega knew the answer, as did Beerus and Champa. In fact, champa decided to speak up.
Champa: You think she cares about playing fair? You're an idiot.
Goku looked saddened by the insult, but instead decided to just watch the fight. They all saw that Gohan was relentless in his assault. He would blast Diablo full of holes, and Diablo would try to fight back. It was a seemingly endless loop, and Gohan enjoyed every second of it, being covered in the blood of Diablo. He eventually punched a big hole through Diablo's heart. This caused Diablo to cough up blood. Gohan smirked, as Diablo hung off his arm.
Gohan: You got your blood all over my shiny new fur.
Slowly, Gohan removed his arm. But just as he did, he raised Diablo up, and brought the other one up to meet, both arms stretched forward, hands flat. With one mighty yell, he used the Omega Masenko, to blast most of Diablo into nothingness. But the blast was so powerful, it caused the planet sized dragonball that they were fighting on, to move from it's orbital position. What was left of Diablo, was just his head, upper torso, his left arm, and only his upper part of his right arm. Gohan let him drop to the floor. He was itching to finish him off, but knew Adrian would be on his ass if he did kill Diablo. Instead, he powered down to normal, and looked at the critically wounded demon.
Gohan: So tempting to kill you myself. Afterall, it would be justice for your attempted murder of my daughter. But I suppose if you had actually done so, or violated her...then perhaps I would have, but it would have been gloriously painful. But seeing you like this, no matter how much you can regenerate, you've already felt my anger and hatred. This fight...This trial...it's over. You lose, you pathetic piece of crap.
Gohan turned around, and looked at Adrian, motioning that Diablo was all hers. Diablo was slowly regenerating, but could barely form anything by the time Adrian was back down beside him. He was lifted into the air by her hair, and was held by his arms and neck.
Adrian: You've lost brother. It's time for you to face your execution.
Diablo looked at Adrian, and spit on her. She smirked wiping the saliva away, and using more of her hair to impale him, though not at any vital spots.
Adrian: Vega. Come down here.
Vega was confused as to why Adrian called him, but did obey. By now, he was in his base form, having all his chaos energy stored in Yveltal. Though his pupils were now permanently blood red. And with those red eyes, he looked upon Diablo, with a soul piercing gaze.
Adrian: My son. There is a reason why I called you here. In a situation like this, I would personally end this, in most situations. I am a firm believer that the one who passes the sentence, swings the sword. However, this time, it shall be you who executes.
Vega: Oh. Well...thank you mom. But i have to ask, is this part of his humiliation?
Adrian: No. It's moreso of a promise to be fulfilled. See when I wielded Yveltal, I had to feed him certain souls, as I wasn't his chosen. It's what happened to Bael and Mephisto, hence why they will never return. Not even the super dragonballs can bring them back to life, as you know if a soul is destroyed, it can never be undone. And now, at long last, I shall offer Yveltal my last brother.
A chuckling sound could be heard from Yveltal, as the eye in the blade transfixed on Diablo, who inspite of his fate, looked as defiant as ever.
Yveltal: As I recall Adrian, out contract was done when you took the throne, and I only asked for the other two.
Adrian: But you were right about Diablo. This is both an apology, and a thank you, for choosing my son.
Yveltal: I accept your offering.
Adrian smirked, as she lowered Diablo to Vega's level.
Diablo: Such wasted potential kid. You could be even better then you are, and free from this wench.
Vega: If you're trying to sway me, don't try. Grandfather did, and he suffered the same fate. Only difference is, he unknowingly helped me be worthy. So I, Vega...Eldest son of the devil, first of my name in our lineage, crown prince of hell, and wielder of Yveltal, the eternal chaos sword, sentence you...uncle...to death. And unlike me, you ain't coming back to life!
With that, Vega thrust Yveltal right through Diablo's heart. Yveltal immediately began to drain Diablo's soul, absorbing it into himself. What remained of Diablo turned to stone. When Yveltal was all done, Vega removed his sword from the stone corpse, causing it to shatter, and fall to the ground. With some chaos energy, Vega used a black fire to burn the remains. With that, everyone started coming down to greet the two.
Beerus: Excellent work as always Adrian. It was good to see you back at the strength that you've shown me before.
Adrian: Than you Beerus.
Beerus: There is one thing though. Not sure if you knew this, but my fighters won a cross universe tournament that allows me a wish from the super dragonballs, and I'd like to have it granted.
Adrian: That's fine. Just don't waste it on trying to get with me.
Beerus: As if I would do something so foolish. Because as I recall, I never needed it.
Adrian and Beerus smirked at each other. Everyone groaned in annoyance, seeing the blatant flirting between the two dieties.
Champa: Whatever. Vados...Boys. Let's go. We're out of here.
A giant glass cube floated down. It was a vehicle that could transport between universes. Everyone from universe six got in, and returned to their universe.
Pan: I wonder what it's like in universe six. Might have to visit one day.
Vega, who was standing right beside Pan, nodded in agreement. It was with that, that Beerus began to speak in what could be described as an odd, but ancient language. That summoned a golden behemoth of a dragon. The sheer size of it looked as if it was as big as a small solar system. The dragon also communicated in the same language. With his mind made up, Beerus spoke more, before the dragon glowed, granting his wish. The super dragonballs, glowed, as the golden dragon vanished, and the dragonballs, dispersed between the twin universes.
Whis: Interesting wish. One I'm actually proud of you for making.
Beerus: Yeah yeah, whatever. It's been a long day, but not at all boring. Let's go home.
Adrian: Good idea for all of us.
Everyone immediately knew that somebody was about to use instant transmission to get back to Earth, so they all joined hands. It was Vega who did so, successfully teleporting everyone back, except for Shin, Kibito, Beerus and Whis. They went to their respective home planets.
Upon the fighter's arrival, they all split up. Vegeta took Bulma home with him. Eventually it was just Vega, Pan, Gohan and Adrian.
Pan: What did Lord Beerus wish for, if you don't mind me asking?
Adrian: He actually wished for Universe six's Earth to be restored. Apparently it got destroyed, so he used it to bring it back. It's kind of...interesting, as I never expected that from Beerus. But i guess deep down, he wants his brother to have some sort of happiness.
Vega: Maybe. But...did you and him...were you together?
Adrian: A long time ago, and it was more of a physical attraction only. He did help me get to where I needed to be though, so there's that as well. Anyways, I think Beerus had the right idea. When I get home, I'm taking a nap.
Vega: Alright. I can watch the twins for a bit.
Pan: I'll join as well. That is, if you don't mind dad.
Gohan: Oh not at all. Just please return by tomorrow.
Adrian: What, not gonna ask me first?
Vega looked at Adrian with a blank look. He was stunned by her sudden question. It was then, that, she burst out laughing.
Adrian: I'm kidding. Pan, you're more than welcome to stay a night at Castle Oblivion.
Pan: Really? Thank you Lady Adrian.
Adrian: Drop the 'Lady' part. You're practically family at this point.
Pan: Thank you Adrian. I better head home and grab some stuff.
Vega: I'll come with and help.
Pan smiled, and held Vega's hand. with how quickly she grabbed his hand, he was slightly surprised by this, and blushed a tiny bit. He regained his composure quickly, before teleporting him and Pan out, to retrieve the twins.
Gohan: Those two. The fight well together, and are good for keeping each other strong. I get the feeling they're gonna be together in the future.
Adrian: It's almost a guarantee. I hope so, because the last thing we need is those two to be enemies. Last time the wielders of Xernia and Yveltal were enemies, almost destroyed the universe.
Gohan: Fair enough. But even if they don't wind up together, they're gonna have an unbreakable bond. Not that I mind Vega as Pan's mate, because he's proven himself.
Adrian: I fully approve of Pan as well.
Both chuckled at that conversation. Adrian then leaned up against a nearby tree, enjoying the fair weather. She then chuckled out of her own accord, and looked at Gohan.
Adrian: Say Gohan. Why don't you surprise Videl with your new transformation. I'm sure it has more uses then fighting.
Gohan: Well...I...I think that might be a good idea. May have to hold back a bit.
Gohan began to power up again. He successfully transformed again, with the transformation having gotten a bit easier.
Adrian: Don't use all your energy at once. Though Buu did restore some of your energy while Beerus made his wish, it wasn't fully. But I must say, Videl's lucky. This new form does bring out a more...animalistic look and side to you. On top of that, you own it, which makes it even more hot.
Gohan blushed a bit at that, but then quickly regained his composure. He then began to float up a bit, looking around, and feeling the breeze.
Gohan: Please give my thanks to King Vegeta and my grandfather. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this.
Adrian: I'll let Bardock know, and I plan to personally thank my husband for pulling this off.
Gohan: That's putting it one way for sure. I would wish you luck, but I don't think you need it.
Adrian: Go get 'em tiger.
Gohan chuckled and flew off. At that moment, Vega returned with Pan. She brought with her a backpack with a change of clothes, a couple books, and a pillow. Pan looked around for Gohan, but didn't find him.
Adrian: Your dad flew off. Now lets get back home.
Adrian placed her hand on Vega's shoulder, and he teleported them all back to Castle Oblivion. But as he did that, Gohan arrived home, to see Videl outside, folding some laundry. When he saw that, he stepped forward, surprising her.
Videl: Gohan? Is that you honey?
Gohan nodded, and he let a predatory like grin form, as he gazed upon his wife. He walked forward a bit, took her into his arms, and passionately kissed her. After a few seconds, he ceased the kiss, to see a pleasantly dazed look on her face.
Videl: Oh my. I was just told by Vega and Pan of this, but never expected to see it for myself.
Gohan: Well here I am babe. And we got the whole house to ourselves.
Videl was slightly surprised at Gohan's behaviour, but she was not against it. In fact, she was completely turned on by it. She practically jumped into her husbands arms, and the two began to ferociously make out, with Gohan leading them inside.
~The Next Day~
Pan woke up in unusual surroundings. She was in a guest room, which in on itself was the size of two regular sized master bedrooms. But it was the decor that surprised her. It wasn't all red and black. It was a good mix of other colours and design. It had a good regal appeal to it. She would walk over to the window, to see the sunrise (so to speak). But she would then see Vega, who was practicing with Yveltal. Only it looked to be a new form for Yveltal, as it looked like the sword split into two, and attached both sides onto each of Vega's arms, making it looks like he had blade arms protruding from him. He swung them around, getting used to the feel of it. Training dummies were being slashed apart clean,as it looked like Vega was dancing around, trying a new way to fight with his blades out. She smiled, knowing that another grand battle had been won.
