Aereos stood above the Golden Ape that is supposed to be his Saiyan combatant. He knew that Saiyans could transform into such a wild beast but couldn't fathom them being able to do it without the moon. Piccolo was trying to come up with a plan to stop Kuzuku from destroying the planet.
"Hey...uh Piccolo, why is he gold? I recalled my memories from the past and I don't remember this form being golden." Kashu asked as people were running past the group in fear. The memories from that tragic time came back to haunt them, throwing the village into a frenzy.
"Its probably a mutation due to him being a Super Saiyan. He is so stupendously more powerful than an ordinary Saiyan, only making him that much harder to deal with." Piccolo answered. Aped Kuzuku took notice of Aereos floating above him. He started to get angry all of a sudden.
"RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kuzuku roared. The mere shock-wave from his howling blew the dark god back. In mere moments, the golden ape vanished from his sights.
"He's fast!" Aereos thought before getting smacked to the ground, crashing through several trees. Aereos shot back up and punched the ape in the forehead, causing him the howling in pain. Aereos then began to launch his numerous spikes that would detonate on contact. Kuzuku howled more in pain as the blows collided with his ginormous body. Aereos stopped to avoid wasting too much energy, thinking that he finished the monkey off until a large hand reached out and grabbed him.
"Graghhh!" Aereos grunted. He was now face to face with an enraged ape, ready to start beating him senseless. Kuzuku then threw the dark god into the village, crashing and leveling several houses. Kuzuku then fired a huge mouth blast at the deity. Aereos barely dodged, leaving the beam to trail across the ground and making several explosions. Kuzuku pounded his chest even more and began to throw boulders at random. 21 created a shield defending the others from his rampage.
"Crap this is worse then I thought." Piccolo frustrated.
"You guys stay here, I will try to talk some sense to him." Gohan said exiting the reddish-pink barrier. He flew in front of his students face, causing him to pause for a bit.
"Kuzuku you need to get a hold of yourself! Are you trying to kill everyone on the planet." Gohan yelled. Him shouting only made him angrier and merely smacked Gohan out the way, crashing him into a crater. Gohan got up hesitantly and ached for a moment.
"He's not listening" Gohan mumbled. Kuzuku started to spew fire out of his mouse, setting the forest and its surround ablaze. Aereos came rushing through the fire and started launching a barrage of Kiai at Kuzuku, but it had no affect. Aereos was now in fear, now that his attacks aren't even having an affect on him.
"Damn it! I didn't think that this Saiyan would force me to use this much power!" Aereos grunted. He then flew high into the sky and began to generate a tiny orb in his hand that began to create a swirl of dark energy. It broke off trees and destroyed buildings as it got bigger and bigger, eventually to the size rivaling that of Kid Buu's planet buster.
"Now prepare yourself Saiyan! This attack will annihilate you to completely nothing. Don't think about being in the afterlife since your soul will be destroyed along with you! Don't worry I won't make a misstep and accidentally destroy this universe! I wouldn't want Beerus to wake up and come here! HAHAHAAHAHAHA!" Aereos laughed as the dark-purplish energy raged on. Kuzuku looked up in confusion, as if he doesn't understand what he was saying. Aereos then launched his orb at Kuzuzku. It approached the ape and collided with his feral body. Aereos started to laugh maniacally as the golden ape was getting consumed by his darkness and having his soul being destroyed beneath him. That was until the most absurd thing he saw in his life happened before him. The giant Saiyan lifted his Darkness Desolation Bomb with both hands. He couldn't even grasped the idea of him tanking that, let alone lifted it up with both hands.
"RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kuzuku roared, throwing he blast back at Aereos. The dark god caught the blast, struggling to hold his own against his attack. Aereos then forced it to detonate while forming a similar dimensional barrier he did before. He crashed through several trees and landed in the side of a mountain. Kuzuku's ape body began to rampage some more, firing beams into the sky like a crazed animal. 21 finally had enough and flew to Kuzuku's side, hoping to get his attention.
"Kuzuku!" 21 yelled. Kuzuku stopped his antics and looked at the majin girl.
"Kuzuku its me. 21, don't you remember?" she soothed. Kuzuku started to snarl and growl a bit. He attempted to swat her away but 21 dodged and came back to full view.
"Please Kuzuku, you have to calm down. You don't want to kill your friends don't you? I know your better than this." 21 said. Kuzuku growling toned down a bit.
"That's it. You can control yourself, I know you can. You are always so courageous and caring that I know you wouldn't want to hurt anyone." 21 said looking down at a picture of her and Kuzuku at the amusement park. The wind blew it out of her hand, making the girl reach out for it but was stopped when it landed on the ape's face. Kuzuku pulled it off with his large finger and stared at the photo. He started to make noises as he stared at the picture, as if it was a pleasant memory. 21 flew next to him and spoke.
"I am sure you remember this don't you? Its the time when you took me out on our first date. You promised me that you'd take me somewhere and you kept that promise." 21 smiled. Kuzuku's pitch red-eyes started to widen and began to move, startling 21 who caught the photo. He, for unknown reason moved himself back to the crater. He started to look around frantically, as if he was recalling the memories of today. His last thought trailed to his mind.
"I want to go home.". The Ape started to howl as golden energy began to emit from his body. A pillar of golden energy with electricity started to flare. Everyone looked in awe at what was happening to their Saiyan friend.
"GRAHHHHHHHHHHHH. GRAHH. GRAHHHHHHHH!" Kuzuku was consumed by the golden light that created shock-waves throughout the universe.
On Beerus's planet
Whis was watering some planets and admiring the butterflies that passed by. He was interrupted by the sudden energy spike and shock-waves that were traveling across the universe, shaking everything in its wake.
"Oh it seems he's finally found his own path. Well this makes things a tad bit more interesting." Whis said.
"Whis, is the ramen finished yet?! I am starving over here!" Beerus called out.
"It will be in just a minute my lord!" Whis replied.
OtherWorld
"King Yemma, what's going on!" Worker one said.
"I don't know?! Whatever it is, the whole Otherworld is shaking! Even the lower area is crumbling a bit.
World of the Supreme Kais
Supreme and Elder Kai watched from afar and knew about everything that was going on. They were intrigued by the new predicament that unfolded.
"Revered ancestor, do you have a clue on what may be happening? What is going to happen to Kuzuku?" Shin asked. Elder Kai began to scratch his chin.
"It must be a new Saiyan evolution. It seems that Kuzuku has regained consciousness and is somehow ascending to another level that I heard of but didn't believe that it existed. The only person who achieved this level died long ago due to the overwhelming energy but as strong as Kuzuku is now, he defiantly can endure it." Elder Kai rambled.
"What are you talking about ancestor?" Shin asked hastily
"Just sit and watch." Elder Kai said.
Back On Planet Codia
The round dome of energy spiraled around as electricity spewed out of it. Eventually it burst, creating a large flash bomb of light that covered the universe. When it disappeared, all was left was smoke clouding the barren land, destroyed forest and village. Everyone started to cough.
"Cough* Cough* What happened? Why was Kuzuku exerting his energy like that?" Hudo said. Zugo was finally coming through and he opened his eyes. Riley took notice and gasped with relief.
"Zugo! Your alive!" She exclaimed. Hudo turned around and was shocked to see him awake. Hudo rushed over and hugged his best friend, starling him a bit. Zugo began to tap him.
"Grah...can't...endure...pain...send...help" Zugo muttered. Hudo let go as he thought he was about to kill him. He smiled that his fellow Astackian was okay. Zugo took a look around his surroundings and noticed everyone staring in one direction. Then one thought came to mind.
"Where's Kuzuku!?" Zugo yelled. Hudo hushed him to speak lower.
"Don't worry he's alive. I hope. He transformed into some giant ape and was beating the shit out of Aereos. You should of seen him." Hudo answered. Zugo was glad but continued to question him.
"That's good but where is he now?". Hudo motioned his head to the dust covered land. 21 landed next to the group and stood front row. She was hoping that he didn't blow himself up somehow. The dust began to clear, first revealing a red tail. This set everyone off to a curious state. The dust finally unraveled as the light bathed down upon the newly transformed Saiyan. His hair similar to that of Goku's in Super Saiyan 4 but had two spiked bangs over his eyes instead of one, with the signature bangs draped over his shoulder. His red fur covered most of his body, only to expose his broad chest and abs. His black gloves, gray pants that had parts of his Gi that was held on by his belt over it, and his boots were covered a bit with dirt. His eyes had a red trim around them while his iris was orange and his pupil was black. He stood looked around and notice that everyone was staring at him. He took one step and was instantly behind of everyone, shocking not only them but himself. He looked at his body for a moment and was wondering what had happened when he took a look around. Hudo decided to speak up.
"Kuzuku are you still with us?" Hudo asked. Kuzuku took notice of his voice and looked at him for a moment. Kuzuku's expression was blank until.
"Well if you consider being able to talk for a change then yes." Kuzuku said with his voice sounding similar to his Super Saiyan 3 state. Everyone smiled in relief that he was back to his senses.
Kuzuku felt a sudden surge of Ki being flared behind him. A pillar of dark energy overshadowed the dark deity raising himself into the air. He looked absolutely pissed. Kuzuku flew to him and stopped dead in front of him. Aereos was scratched all over with a vain threatening to pop out of anger. He grinned sisterly.
"What's this? You obtained a new costume monkey? Well don't think that is going to save you from me. Mark my words you will be erased by my hands." Aereos said. Kuzuku began to chuckle, making Aereos more angry.
"What's so funny you primate?" Aereos snarled. Kuzuku stopped chuckling.
"I am just amused and happy right now. First I am about to take my revenge on a bastard who killed Nana and now I achieved a new form that increased my power exponentially." Kuzuku said. Aereos wasted no time and punched Kuzuku across the face, creating a shock-wave that shook the ground. He gave the most shit stain smile you could think of until Kuzuku turned his face, revealing that he was unharmed. Aereos was stricken with fear that his attack didn't have an effect on him. The newly powered Saiyan rammed his fist into the dark god, causing him to keel over before descending to the ground. He landed, clutching his stomach in pain as he watched Kuzuku descend. He tried to move but fell backwards, struggling to lift his body up. He coughed out blood that scattered across the ground.
"How did I take this much damage from a single punch!?" Aereos cursed. Kuzuku glared at him as his aura danced around him. Aereos finally found the strength to get up and flew directly into the sky. Kuzuku looked up to see another one of those darkness desolation bombs but it was tens of times bigger than before.
"I don't give a damn about this universe anymore! I will blow it all into smithereens!" Kuzuku stood and watch the orb get thrown at him with full force, descending upon only him directly.
"Aereos you've gone too far this time. You've hurt my friends, threaten my love ones, and even killed some of them. You are the personification of the evil of mortals over the years so let me do you this one thing and disperse you for good. This may be the only way for you to repent. Its time for me to finish you once and for all!" Kuzuku said. He leaped into the blast and punched through it, causing the dark energy to be nullified instantly. Aereos was shock that his full powered attack was beaten so easily. During his thoughts, he felt a fist collide into his stomach and began to scream in agony. He couldn't conceive the fact that he was about to be killed by a mortal that he failed to capture.
"DRAGOOOOOOON FISTTTT!" Kuzuku yelled as a golden dragon began to envelope his body. The dragon consumed the dark god complete as its energy was slowly disintegrating him.
"GRAHHHHHHHHHHH! Damn you! Damn you to hell-!" Aereos yelled but was soon destroyed completely by the burst of energy that blinded the planet occupants. When the light faded all you could see was various particles of Kuzuku's energy in the sky, slowly falling and fading away.
The Saiyan descended to the ground, landing as he deformed and took in a deep breath. He nearly collapsed but caught himself. That until he was tackled onto the ground by someone. He smiled as he saw who it was. 21 who was nuzzling in his fully exposed figure. He hugged her back and buried his face into her hair.
"I'm so glad your okay!" 21 sniffed.
"I know, i'm sorry for making you worry 21. I will try my best to not put you through it again. But thank you, if you haven't brought me back to my senses then this ending wouldn't have been possible." Kuzuku said smiling into her white hair. The others came running while Riley helped Zugo walk.
"You did it Kuzuku! Man that was some finishing move!" Hudo cheered. 21 and Kuzuku looked at their friends with nothing but a smile.
"Thanks Hudo. I kind of learned it from Goku though. It dramatically increases my battle power by x10 when used. Though you guys sure do look like you've been through a lot." Kuzuku joked.
"Takes one to know one." Piccolo retorted. Everyone began to laugh as the villagers made their way to celebrate and the sky began to turn dark.
A/N: Wow Thirty Six chapters done. This arc was one of my most enjoyable one's to make. Simply because I got to experience of adding philosophies into my story and implementing SSJ4 into the mix. I can admit that the ending was the only bland part but I guess that is on me. Now as for Kuzuku, I don't have plans on him obtaining SSB nor using SSG.
