Destiny Shattered Gaiden: The Battle Begins! Fight On!
Demon Realm Saga: Part Thirteen
Earth...
The ground rumbled beneath West City by the means of a deafening thunderstorm that roared overhead. This thunder boomed whilst dark flashes of light and electricity clapped out in lightning-like coils. Streams of these lightning flashes were followed by an incredible stream of winds that turned leaves on the numerous trees and blades of grass upside down. The buildings began to sway in the chatter.
Quivering ground rocked and before long a stream rain ripped from the air amid the thunderous shocks. Those unaware of the cause of the storm looked around in panic and fear, preparing themselves to hunker down through another storm.
Dark lightning crumbled down forging and open doorway in the middle of the main street. Cars were thrown through the air and vaporized, reduced to atoms, while trees splintered and broke away with the gaping hole in the sky. Streams of dark energy poured out from the innards of the rift and a leading pair of glowering eyes led the charge, their footsteps striking like dozens of drums beating in unison.
People hurried indoors as the tremors grew more intense and the storm howled ferociously. Cracks spread through the asphalt while the windows began to chatter in their frames. None had escaped the portal yet there was something very wrong that led to this occasion something that the humans on the Earth had no idea of yet were about to be put into the middle of.
"Hey, Caulifla, are you sure you don't want a change of clothes?" Bra asked from the inside of his vast closet. Her blue eyes peering back through the door at the bored looking female Saiyan standing there." You've been here a couple of days now, I'm pretty sure you could use one," Bra continued.
"Pfft, yeah right. I'm fine, you guys are the weird ones," Caulifla shrugged casually kicking her right leg against the wall." What's the point of getting new clothes if we're about to go to war anyway? They'll just get torn up anyway," the Universe Six Saiyan finished with a snicker.
Bra pulled free from the closet a few moments later, pulling a pair of white training gloves onto her hands." That's a good point, I guess," Vegeta's daughter emerged wearing ruby hued crop top that revealed her midriff, a matching ruby skirt, a pair of black leggings that led into her white Saiyan styled boots." And I guess functionality isn't something you worry about with how baggy your clothes are," Bra chuckled.
Caulifla's eyes widened and Bra's did the same. The building rocking with the tremors while their senses were assaulted by a vast darkness that seemed ready to swallow everything.
"Come on, we need to move now!" Caulifla clenched her hands running from Bra's room with the half-Saiyan not too far behind.
Bra lowered her head, blue hair fraying upward in a golden flash.' Right now, huh? All right, you guys aren't ready for what we have in store for you!' Vegeta's daughter ground her teeth while rushing beside Caulifla.
'Heh, I can do that too,' Caulifla snickered eyeing the Super Saiyan that ran past her, her black hair fanning upward into a golden flame.
"Woah! Ah!" Cheelai began to lose balance until Broly's right hand reached out and supported her by the back.
"Cheelai, stay here," the towering Saiyan said steadying here against the earthquake.
"Thanks, Broly, but where do you think you're going?" she asked adjusting a loose strand of her white hair.
"I have to fight now, keep Ba safe for me," the Saiyan said clenched his fists, the tied pelt around his waist flapping as he released some of his ki.
Jiren's legs came uncrossed and he stood up. His taunt legs flexed the black spandex that covered them while his started white gloves clenched tightly. His white boots sunk into the unstable ground as a red glow disappeared from around his muscles. The Universe Eleven warrior looked on with broad black eyes as they opened powerfully. He headed toward the source of the energy like a man on a mission.
'Now, it starts,' he stepped along heavily.
"Trunks, let's go," Vegeta looked up from his sparring match with his son in the intense gravity.
Trunks nodded, his lavender hair whipping as he headed to the door." Time to end this," he tensed balling his fists.
"Come on, Uub, no need to let the fun start without us," Tien said sternly as he and Chiaotzu flew toward the door exiting the atrium.
"Right, behind you," Uub nodded running along the pavement with focus.
Yato sheathed his blade looking over to his cat-like ally." Are you ready for this Beerus?" the God of Destruction asked his former counterpart. The sports jacket he wore being cast aside to reveal the white tee shirt he was wearing.
Beerus looked at him, the blue tunic he wore waving in the breeze." I'm awake, aren't I? Do not think I've gotten rusty Deliverer," he commented to the Hakaishin with a bold growl.
"Never, my guys are already waiting for us, let's go," Yato said walking beside the feline to the door.
Goku tied his obi tight, bouncing on his toes with loosen his neck." Goten, did you make sure that Valise was safe?" the palm haired warrior asked his son while walking forward.
"Yep, she's with mom and Marron. Pan couldn't find Videl though, so I guess she's in a safe place too," the half-ling said to his father.
"Good, then let's do this," Goku smiled, his eyes focusing on the arriving energy. His blue gi flapped as they headed to the street to be with the rest of the ensemble cast of warriors.
The first to emerge from the dark rift was one who had touched down on the Earth before. His red eyes looked down the broad road that was West City's main street. His curved brown-yellow horns curled from the side of his head resting behind his blue ears. A thick white 'beard' dangled from his chin while a toned body rested beneath a white breast plate. Around either wrist was a taped arm guard and around his ankles a matching binding leading to boots. Baggy brown trousers finished the outfit as he took another step.
"It looks like we got the desired attention that we wanted," Moro snickered looking forward at the group of assembled Z-Warriors. his red eyes scanned the ground carefully.' There are a few faces that were not here the last time though. And that one is the dangerous warrior from the Universe Eleven, and there is the wretched Dai Kaioshin,' he thought locking eyes with Uub after scanning over the ground.
"Of course, knowing that you would be assembled was helpful," Moro snapped his finger and a pair of red eyes flashed out from behind him.
Breaking forward as the imposing frame of a Shadow Dragon, one that pushed all of warriors back a step. His head was forked out into a 'v' shape and his huge forearms flexed at his side. Spikes dripped from the tips of his knuckles and out from the center of his back. Along the Shadow Dragon's chest was a series of ornate red and gold marking while similar markings from beneath its eyes glowered at the group.
"Keh, is that who I think it is?" Uub gulped stepping back leering at the imposing Shadow Dragon.
"Omega Shenron," Vegeta growled clenching his hands tightly. His black hair waved as a dark wind continued to pour from the innards of the port.' Damn it, Kakarot and I are going to have to fuse this early?' the Saiyan Elite looked over to Son Goku, who was equally tensed
'That's crazy, he's right there. Vegeta and me are going to have to form Gogeta to beat him, no one else here has the ability to match him one on one, not even Jiren. We can't risk anyone getting killed in the crossfire though,' Bardock's son felt his mind racing while stepping back keeping tension and focus on the Shadow Dragon. The situation was one that kept him instantly on his toes.
"Heh, you think that I'd fall for your same tricks again?" Omega grunted with glee as another being burst from the background, followed by another, and two more after that.
Jiren clenched his fists, looking forward at the first arrival." Berumod," he muttered deeply, his muscles tensing looking at the clown-like alien that was presented beside the Shadow Dragon.
"Nish, nish, nish, Jiren," Berumod grinned, a dark glow emanating from behind his eyes.
"Goten, those two are here too?" Trunks shouted grinding his teeth at the sight of the paired Masked Saiyans.
"Damn, Trunks, we're going to be in some serious trouble then," Goten replied, aura exploding upward into a Super Saiyan flame.
"There are more, I got the chance to scout your Universe remember?" Moro leered at Son Goku before locking eyes with Uub again.
Two beings appeared to the wayside; smirks present on their face. The first a short mousy being with bucked teeth and yellow skin that looked directly at the forces from Universe Eight angrily. Next to him, a similarly sized warrior that had troll-like qualities with a large beard of crimson-orange hair prone to attack.
'Coco, Sunni, Zebra, they don't have energy that we can sense in our normal state. That means they're Gods too,' Toriko gulped tensing looking at the pair as they looked to the Heavenly Kings.
A golden flash appeared in the rain filled sky, a towering Arcosian floating above the planet with a cold smile on his face. His crested head was a laminated golden coloration as was the bony mask that crossed his face. His arms were solid pieces matching the golden shade of his facial mask. The skin along the warrior's hands balled into tight fists showing the purple shade that it had contrasting the royal golden shade. Red eyes looked forward.
"A Frost Demon?" Frost muttered with a growl, focusing tightly on the Arcosian that stood in front of him.
"Eh, that's dangerous. He's gold just like you Frost," Cabba pointed out tensing as more kis appeared around them.
"There's more?" Toriko tensed looking around as another dark spire rose.
A pair of silver skinned teenagers emerged with jovial grins on their face. The first was a slender young man with a spiked hairstyle bearing a dark blue jacket, with visor-like eyes looking down at the group. Beside him, a young lady with a bobbed haircut and a bang that rested over one of her eyes. She was wearing a magenta pink shade of jacket and a confident smile to match.
"Keru, they're here too? This is bad," Caulifla pointed out to her friend while Bra and Pan adjusted.
"Everyone be careful of their strange powers, okay?" Keru muttered as a towering figure followed free from the back of the goat-like entity.
Standing behind Moro was a familiar build to those that had faced him in the past. His baggy white pants and red caped pants were enough to show he was indeed the other Broly. The golden bangles and bands along his muscles flexed as he stared ahead at the real Broly, who tensed with a balling of his fists.
Lastly, came another Shadow Dragon with pale gray skin. Her shoulder length silver hair gave away her identify immediately and it shook the three hybrids that had grown as fast friends with her. The gems encrusted into her forearms were no longer a glowing blue, but instead a deep crimson while her crimson eyes stared for. A dark halo hovered over her head as she cracked a crazed smile.
"Mirra Shenron too?" Bra asked stepping back nervously." What did they do to you?"
"Bra, wait, she's not right we have to be on guard," Pan tensed, aura exploding out with a Super Saiyan glow.
"What's the deal? Do you know her? Pfft, she doesn't look like much," Caulifla stepped forth accompanied by Keru.
"Don't underestimate how she looks. Can't you feel her ki growing?" Cha asked, releasing her power which caused her skin to tint a green hue.
"Do you see Dai Kaioshin? This battle was over before it started. No matter how many people you gathered here, they will all fall," Moro laughed looking forward at Uub while Mirra Shenron faded in front of the group from the Demon Realm.
"This is bad. Everyone stay on guard," Uub grunted looking to his allies as Mirra Shenron looked down upon them.' It only takes her using Universe Reflection on Gogeta or something and we in a whole heap of trouble. So, whatever it takes she's the dangerous one,' Uub went to move toward her only to be cut off by Bra and Pan.
"Uub focus, we're ready for Mirra Shenron," Vegeta's daughter assured nodding her head, Super Saiyan Two exploding across her body powerfully.
"Right, we'll help beat this one too, the others can handle the slime twins over there," Caulifla smirked as she and Keru walked to stand beside Bra.
"Yes, sis," Keru nodded strongly, her black hair breaking from its hair tie to turn Super Saiyan.
'They know how to handle her. We should be okay then,' Uub said looking back to Moro, who continued to menacingly smile.
Vegeta stepped forth, his footsteps blazing the asphalt with a raging blue ki." It doesn't matter what you do. Or how many Ghosts of the past you intend to have us fight. You have taken too much from all of us, and we will not deal any longer. We'll be the ones that stand victorious! HAAAAA!" he shouted to the heavens.
A blazing cyclone of blue light surged from his core, blasting the trees around them back against the imposing wind while making Moro stare with a chuckle in front of him. When he emerged through the flames the Saiyan had ascended beyond a normal Saiyan and stood beyond the Gods of Destruction as a Divine Super Saiyan. His calming breath showing his mastery of the state.
"This is what I want, to crush the two of you firsthand!" Omega charged the Saiyan Prince as a blue glow shot to the side of the Saiyan Prince.
"Hey, Vegeta, let's take him somewhere else?" Son Goku commented cutting beside his rival as a Divine Super Saiyan, His left hand grabbed the Prince around the shoulder and his right pointed to his brow, causing both to teleport away.
"You're not going anywhere!" Omega Shenron barked vanishing after their ki with a similar transformation.
"Hehehe fools," Moro grinned while the rest of the allied forces of the Earth powered up. He stepped toward Uub while everyone else took after their opponents in a streaming flow of glowing red, blues, and golds." You though, Dai Kaioshin, are the one that I am most interested in. This battle is going to end with your demise for all of those years of suffering that you put me through," Moro snickered dodging.
Uub walked forward as well, his pink aura exploding out. The buildings around him chattered and the glass began to wave with each step. Behind him, Seventeen and Krillin trailed Eighteen to face off with the Masked Saiyan. To his left, Cabba floated ready to help in any way possible against the looming threats. To his right, Bra, Cha, and Pan all flew at Mirra Shenron preparing to face off with their friends.
"This has gone on long enough Moro. I didn't understand exactly what you were planning while we fought back then, but now I know," Uub spoke flashing forward. His black eyes looked up at the goat directly." You are threatening everything in existence. There isn't going to be any form of hesitation this time. I'm going to be beat you," the reincarnated Majin Buu shouted as Goten and Trunks flew headlong behind their friends to chase after the Masked Saiyans.
"Excellent," Moro grinned as Berumod baited Jiren forward.
"These will do with occupying the rest!" from behind the goat-like being came a swarm of Demon Realm soldiers rushing headlong through the city to those that had not paired off.
Goku and Vegeta appeared hundreds of feet above the conflicts below, their paired blue eyes staring down as Omega Shenron vanished." There's no time Vegeta! Let's do this!" Goku said to his rival swinging his arms out to the side.
"I know!" Vegeta responded quickly. his arms flew to the side and he floated away to create some space with his rival. Their powers were equal as always and their hearts linked together.
"FUU-" they began fluttering through the first steps like a dancer doing basic movements. They had done it so often the movements were second nature. The black clouds beneath them danced as their power coursed through the air.
"-SIOON!" moving at incredible speed they attempted to continue the ritual. They brought their arms around to the side quickly, making sure that their knees were pointing toward one another. A nervous bead of sweat fell down both of their faces as they realized that the Shadow Dragon was nearer now than ever. This was their only chance to fuse.
"HAAA-" they swung their arms toward one another preparing to meet fingertips.
'Zip!' their ears twitched with the sound of the air splitting. Their index fingers found themselves planted firmly in a pair of gray palms. The ritual being broken by the arrival of their foe. His cold red eyes darting back and forth at the pair as they leered upward at him with a cold growl. That was exactly what Omega Shenron had been waiting for.
"No, no, no, none of that, not this time!" Omega Shenron shouted pushing Vegeta's entire body back by applying pressure to his finger. In the same motion his right leg ripped out into the center of the Saiyan Prince's body. The Divine Super Saiyan's lips shuddered from the force and he was thrown away with a blistering rift in the air. It took no time at all for the warrior to disappear over the horizon with the move.
"Vegeta?!" Goku roared ripping his arm free and bringing his left leg around. It smashed into Omega Shenron's neck with a thunderous cracking sound. The clouds at their feet parted the dark lightning within spilling upward from the move. The blue donning warrior swung his leg around after that palming away to create space to assess the situation against the fearsome Shadow Dragon.
Omega Shenron though looked at the Saiyan warrior and grinned, his head having not moved a single inch from the kick." Hahaha! Is that your best? Honestly? You're pathetic without your little Fusion Dance," Omega laughed looking at the hero with rolling red eyes, his fanged teeth showing from the thin mustache over his lips.
His dark aura exploded outward forcing the son of Bardock to shield his eyes cautiously.' I'll never get used to feeling a power like this. I've got goosebumps,' the Divine Super Saiyan thought before lowering his tensed arms." Don't go looking down on us Omega. That's how you died last time," Goku grunted balling his fists. His eyes scanning the sky for his rival in the hopes of finding him.
"Thanks, I'll heed that advice!" Omega shouted flashing forward.
His right hand dug into the core of Son Goku. Spit flew from the Saiyan's mouth and his breath followed in. Omega's spiky left hand ripped into the side of the warrior's face, compressing his cheek. Dark energy hummed out in concentric rings from the point of impact. Goku's body shuddered before rippling through the air like a sonic boom, his arms and legs flailing around uncontrollably.
Omega though flickered into the Saiyan's path smiling. As Goku flew by he grabbed the blue donning Saiyan by the right ankle halting his momentum like a brick wall would to an insect. With a yank Earth's defender was brought down over a rising left knee. It hunched the Saiyan over with a painful gawking sound escaping from his mouth. Grinning, Omega bucked him off to crack his knuckles.
'Bwoom! Bwoom! Woom! Whack! Thuum! Thud!' Goku's face and body were pounded back by a series of punches. Goku's cheeks were compressed and flattened numerous times over with the series while his head and stomach were knocked back. Omega's fierce punches continued to blast away before a single uppercut threw the warrior high into the air with a dark explosion of ki.
As he fell, Goku's throat was grabbed by a reappearing hand from the Shadow Dragon." Gah!" Goku shouted as the towering gray beast brought its right knee forward. It crushed into the toned abdomen of the warrior forcing a stream of spittle from his mouth whilst hunching him over.
Omega removed his leg and pushed the hero backward. A sinister grin crossed his face as the Divine Super Saiyan fell backward in a pained state." What's the matter Goku? Can't stand much more or are you hoping for a miracle out of nowhere?" Omega asked rhetorically swinging his left arm out.
His spiked knuckles indented the cheek of the warrior, slapping his head aside. The blue hair resting there flew off in the direction of the force and soon the hero did to." Where are you going? I'm not finished yet!" Omega Shenron cackled dashing after the warrior coldly at a rapidly rate.
The Shadow Dragon flashed beneath the Saiyan bringing his right leg up into the center of Son Goku's back. Spit escaped the blue donning warrior's mouth as his blue eyes opened broadly. Before he could rocket upward though Omega brought down an ax fist into the center of his chest. His sternum creaked with the blow as it sent him hurtling toward the buildings below like falling stone.
"No second chances!" Omega's right hand swiped to the left. A blistering air current flew by smashing into the Saiyan's frame like a barrage of full force punches. The Divine Super Saiyan's blue haired head bounced around like a ball while his arms and legs flailed about crazily. A single gust exploded from the ground dragging Goku upward by his chin bringing him back to the Shadow Dragon.
'WHOMP!' Omega Shenron hurled his right leg into the center of Goku's stomach. Blood escaped the corners of the Saiyan's mouth while spit soon followed it, any air he had gained back being squeezed instantly away.
Omega Shenron threw his right hand out, getting a hand full of the glowing hair for his Divine Super Saiyan foe." This is where you die," the Shadow Dragon smirked placing his right hand mere inches in front of Son Goku's core. Black light appeared in a sparkling compact ball of ki, its radiance glowing along the dogi's flapping belt. Omega was preparing to end him.
"GALICK GUN!" Vegeta's voice rose as a corkscrewing field of purple light hammered into the side of Omega Shenron's head. His grasp on the Divine Super Saiyan loosened instantly as the beam crashed against his head at full force. Soon its light wreathed Omega entirely and his body began to fade away in the light of the attack. Vegeta's roar pushing it to a level that wrapped the Shadow Dragon in a white field of oblivion.
Omega's frame turned black in the bean's glowing shade before seemingly streaming away in a series of black lines within it. A few moments later the beam escaped from Earth's atmosphere and then the solar system heading to the darkness of space and leaving behind a cloud of ash where the Shadow Dragon should have been.
"Kakarot," Vegeta looked to his rival, who was floating with a grin on his face.
"Good timing, Vegeta," the taller Saiyan smiled looking at the billow of smoke that rested in front of his face.
"We're going to need to work together, because here he comes!" Vegeta growled flying backward at top speed, narrowly avoiding a swiping punch from the Shadow Dragon.
"I'll crush both of you!" Omega roared powering up and charging at the pair head on.
"Don't count of that!" Goku shouted dashing at Omega from the side.
Omega looked up and the sole of the hero's boot glanced harmlessly off his brow. Goku sprang off his face and put his right and left hands over his head where blue ki coalesced into a shimmering sphere." HA!" the Divine Super Saiyan belted out loudly hurling both hands down upon Omega Shenron.
The blast exploded into a net of other energy beams all of which centered on the warrior's spine. Explosions rang out repeatedly as the ki blast barrage hammered home over his spikes. Smoke poured off after each detonation surrounding his body in a field of smog. The Earth's defender dropped his hands to his side as the last energy blast exploded falling back.
Vegeta's left booth carved through the smoke and into the center of the Shadow Dragon's head. It did nothing to the Shadow Dragon as he straightened, but it did allow the Saiyan Price to fly away. his right and left palms filled with two golden orbs that combined into a single blast at the meeting of his palms." HAAA!" Vegeta roared letting the energy beam fly.
It carved out at first like a lightning bolt before straightening as it approached the Shadow Dragon. The revived being raised his hand and took the attack head on without a hint of fear. It formed a dome-like shape in front of Omega Shenron as it peeled around him to explode harmlessly over the opposite horizon. At the closing of the Dragon's hand Vegeta flew back to stand beside his rival with a growl.
"He shrugged it off Kakarot? Any more ideas?" Vegeta shouted tailing backward as Omega closed his hand.
"We have to keep fighting Vegeta, eventually we'll find an opening to fuse!" Goku shouted slamming his arms down and tracing back with his rival.
Vegeta smiled and nodded." Yeah, that's what I thought," the Elite agreed." HAAA!" he powered up with a flash of his aura keeping distance from the smiling Shadow Dragon.
"Pray tell, how you expect to do that?" Omega Shenron's voice came from behind them. The image that they stared at flickered away like any other afterimage.
"Oh wait, you won't be able to! Because I'll kill you!" the Shadow Dragon howled raising both of its arms simultaneously. They struck in unison against the back of the Saiyan tandem's head shooting them forward with a thunderous cracking sound. The gray Shadow Dragon pivoted instantly and watched them trailing away with a smile on his face." Nope, it's not going to be that easy!" he flickered after them.
Their head were grabbed from behind by the Shadow Dragon and they were pulled upward without hesitation." Here! I'll help you fuse!" Omega Shenron belted out while throwing the pair together. Their head crashed together at the forehead tossing both away with a fresh wound opening up there." Oops, guess that's not how it works," Omega chortled.
'THUUM!' his right leg jabbed down into Son Goku's stomach. Spit flew from his mouth along with a pained 'Agh!' before he was shot down to the city below. Buildings crumbled instantly as the Earth raised Saiyan seemed to warp through them, tons of concrete reduced to nothing in mere parts of a second.
Vegeta was not spared as Omega's left hand swiped out and caught him along the cheek with a backhand. The four protruding spikes along his hand opened a quartet of slash marks along the Elite's face causing him to wince. The attack was followed by a deafening boom that hurled the Prince of Saiyans in the opposite direction of his rival.
He smashed headlong through several buildings, debris breaking away into nothingness. Vegeta bounced shoulder first against the ground before flipping onto the room of a car, its alarm blaring as he crushed into it.
"Hahaha! This is what happens when you dare oppose a Shadow Dragon! You're worthless apart!" Omega cackled into the air, the sounds of the other conflicts continuing in the distance behind him.
"Another of my race, but with a Saiyan," the golden skinned being scoffed looking down at Cabba and Frost. His cold voice coming out with a refined potency to it." It matters not. If you join my cause I will spare you the humiliation of death at my hand," the masked Frost Demon scolded Frost with a cold stare directed toward Frost, while raising his hand toward Cabba.
Frost smiled looking at the Golden Arcosian with a warmth and familiarity in his eyes." You propose quite the interesting offer, I must say. Your group does seem to have some preparations advantages over our own," Frost noted cupping his chin while turning his red eyes toward Cabba coldly.
The Saiyan clenched his hands." You can't be serious Frost!" Cabba shouted balling his fists, his black hair spinning around. It rose into a golden mane as a matching flame exploded across his body. His Super Saiyan form glowing luminously off the face of his supposed friend and ally.
"Indeed, I already lost my failure of a little brother in this nonsense. It will be nice to have a Frost Demon around that respects his Emperor Cooler," Golden Cooler chimed in gleefully staring at Cabba." You know, I will even give you the honor of killing that monkey if you'd like. He does seem a bit, shall we say troublesome," Frieza's elder brother cheered cupping his chin with a gleeful.
"Frost, you know I can go higher than this," Cabba floated between the two Frost Demons, his Super Saiyan aura charging with discharge.
Frost lifted his right hand a cracked a smile." Oh, I know Cabba," a red sphere appeared along the tip of that raised index finger. Cabba's hands clenching to solidify Super Saiyan Two." And that is why-" Frost remarked keeping his finger aimed straight at the Saiyan.
"I refuse your offer!" the sly Arcosian shouted launching the crimson beam from his index finger.
It scraped along Cabba's shoulder guard and directly for Golden Cooler's forehead. It struck and exploded with a plume of black smoke." Do not tell me you honestly thought I would betray you," Frost snidely remarked as the smoke began to tint gold from the energy within.
"You had me worried, that's for sure," Cabba replied feeling the rising energy." Almost as worried as he does. We're going to need to work together to bring this guy down," the Super Saiyan remarked as the smoke exploded out with a flaxen storm of enraged ki.
Cooler's eyes leered down upon them with a cold glare." You dare raise a hand to oppose me?! Do you have an idea what I am capable of? Here let me show you!" he howled directing his index finger down at the pair.
A single swipe of his hand released a volley of Death Beams at the pair of Universe Six warriors. The barrage crashed down heavily as Frost floated in front of Cabba with a snickering smile across his face. The thin crimson beams pounded into his body exploding out into a burning cloud of heat and ash that swallowed both Frost and Cabba.
Amid the smoke, golden energy brewed forth from several feet into the center of the smoke, causing the air to shake. Cooler looked down expecting to see the Saiyan summoning some unknown strength, but as the smoke blew away Cabba was nowhere to be seen. Instead an Arcosian frame rested within the brewing gilded fire with a smile on his face and his head leaned back.
"I believe the proper response to your question is one of my own," Frost's elegant tone spoke as he looked down, casting his aura out further across the horizon. Light shone off his polished golden chest place and the two sparkling blue orbs upon his shoulders and head. His right and left hands were an icy blue shade matching that on his smug look face." Do you have any idea what I am capable of?" Golden Frost replied lowering his head to oppose Cooler.
Cooler snickered shaking his head." You're capable of protecting a vastly inferior Saiyan. That is the only thing you are capable of!" he charged down with his fist balled.
It smashed into Frost's cheek, knocking his head back and throwing him down the center of the West City's main street. The thunder and rain falling from above shredded out in the process. The Arcosian pulled to a stop and Cooler's pronged foot swiped out. Frost dodged back narrowly only to find the muscular lag of his foe swinging back to grab the back of his head.
The motion was so strong it drove him face first into the roadway. a crack spread from the impact causing the nearby skyscrapers to chatter and split at the foundations. Cooler raised his talon-like right leg and pounded Frost face first against the ground again. Cold's eldest turned his heel grinding the pain into Frost's face afterward before scooping him up again.
Another stomp pushed the roadway down into a crater, splitting the windows on the first floor of the nearby buildings." Haha! You talk big, but you have no chance of backing it up do you?" Cooler snickered pushing Frost forward into the pit, keeping him face down.
Frost's limp arms swung out and pressed against the asphalt strongly. The cracks filling with golden energy as he resisted the pressure against the back of his head. The broken glass from the windows shimmering as it rose with his ki." You think beating my face into the ground a few times in a reasonable counter to my strength?" Frost asked reaching a kneeling position with Cooler's foot still against his head.
"Geh, why you little!" Cooler released and brought his other leg around to smash into Frost's face.
Frost though faded out of its path in a shimmering afterimage. His right elbow crashed into Cooler's cheek with a thunderous boom that hurled him into a nearby building. The Arcosian smashed through the cornerstone before crashing to the garden that sat along the side." Well, have anything else to say?" Frost crossed his arms over his chest.
Cooler pushed up from the moist soil, a flash of lightning rising from the sky as he did so." Feh, you land a lucky blow and believe you've won! Not in your wildest dreams!" Cooler charged vanishing from sight.
Frost growled walking back a step before disappearing as well. Golden spheres ripped upward where the pair had collided in some form. Their flickered blows proving strong enough to rattle the buildings and shatter windows to the ground below. Thunder was deafened when it interacted with their collisions afraid to overcome the might of the two golden clad Arcosians.
These streams of gold followed the wind through the dark clouds; parting several only to have them return to normal. The Golden Arcosians whacked together over the middle of the battlefield momentarily deafening the concurrent battles before vanishing from sight. A building along the distance crushed under the weight of their blows following a stream of strikes that passed by.
Frost's blue hand appeared into thin air, smashing against a purple palm that appeared a moment later. The force sent the rain flying into the opposite direction while releasing a ring of golden light in the air. Cooler's red eyes looking forward with smug glee at his easy counter of the thinner Arcosian warrior." Hah, pathetic," Cooler released Frost's hand and spun around.
His tail swung out and smashed into Frost's raised guard, hurling the Universe Six fighter several feet back in a slid. Frost's toes dug into the ground and he smiled looking at Cooler calmly." I assume that is how you lost in this Universe, overconfidence to the point of stupidity. We haven't been fighting for so long for you to be mocking that much," Frost charged.
His right hand swung out being swatted away by Cooler. The crested Frost Demon threw his left hand toward his slimmer foe's gut only to find it was avoided. Frost's knees exploding into his chest. the air rung. Cooler's body rocketed down the street like a golden rocket passing through several concurrent fights. His back crashing against a tree in the distance.
Frost shot forward, his foot pressing against a building to provide extra strength to pursue Cooler. Universe Six's emperor rammed his forearm underneath Cooler's chin throwing him up through the numerous branches of the tree. Frost tapped down against the ground and smiled rocketing up quickly, his balling fists shooting in tandem to smash into the Golden Arcosian's gut,
Cooler flew into the air as Goku and Vegeta's bodies were shot in opposite directions across the city. Frost looked at the carnage and paused.' Those two? That quickly?' he paused momentarily in the process of balling his fist.
"Where are you looking?" Cooler asked bringing a hammer fist down atop Frost's head. Force pressed down atop the blue gem that rested their bulging Frost's eyes. His body shuddered before shooting toward the ground.
Frost smashed headfirst into the pavement creating a rippling field of gold. That pulse crushed dozens of feet of concrete while his body drove into the asphalt the entire city block rattling with the might of the blow. Cooler's red eyes watched as Frost smashed down into the large drainage pipes beneath the road, his arms and legs splayed out to the side.
"Hahaha, like I said, pathetic," Cooler jeered lowered down into the tunnel, arms folded over his hips with a snicker.
He touched down on aged red brick while several small tunnels poured the rainwater from above into a large drainage hole. Frost's hands clenched and he picked himself up, water streaming from the hole he had formed while other streams ran beneath his feet." You honestly should have taken my offer, Frost. It would have been grand, an entire quadrant of the revived Demon Realm to look over yourself as a God," Cooler growled walking forward, splashing the water while approaching.
Frost pulled his arms up into a defensive stance, a draining stream of water flowing down his face to the bricks below. His resolve was iron against the threats of Cooler and the tempting offer he intended to give." If I took that offer, I would be turning my back on those that I hold close, my friends that had the kindness in their hearts to avoid killing me in my moments of weakness. I am not the same eel that I was in the past, nor do I care for ruling. People don't need an iron fist! They need a leading hand!" he ran across the streams of water balling his fist toward Cooler.
Cooler's legs crunched against the brick and he charged. Dust spread from the crown atop his head carving through the bricks above, creating a cloud that filled the entire tunnel. Tension brewed in the Universe Seven Arcosian's hands as they prepared to let loose." That prattle makes me ill. You are an absolute fool for daring to oppose me, and yet you insist on it. I do not condone insubordination!" Cooler roared throwing his right fist down at the shorter warrior.
Frost's tail touched the ground and he spun along its tip avoiding the blow, whilst causing it to flex." Then, you're in for a world of pain!" Frost rebounded from his tail like a spring, his left hand smashing firmly into Cooler's face. The red eyes of his foe bulged as the tunnels around them glowed gold. An explosive pressure wave whipped around blasting the rain and dust away momentarily while throwing Cooler through the air.
Cooler crashed through the large hole on the opposite wall leading to another drainage tunnel, blasting through at a speed incomprehensible. Frost shook his fist and smirked floating into the air to give chase to his burly Arcosian adversary.' You're not getting away that easily!' he thought shooting down the same tunnel and into the darkness of West City's drainage system.
Mirra Shenron stepped toward the ensemble of female warriors that stood in her way with a furrowed brow. Her red eyes leered at Bra, Pan, and Cha coldly as her footsteps splashed through the puddles." You were the ones that tethered me and held me back. My power being restrained by a bunch of hybrid scum that were too afraid of what I am, what I can do to the world!" Mirra spoke coldly while approaching.
Cha's hands clenched, her green aura exploding out as she fully reached her Hera-jin state." What are you talking about Mirra? We're your friends Mirra! Come on, you have to know us, try to remember? I don't know what they did to your head, but we're going to set you right," she shouted angrily to the Shadow Dragon.
Caulifla snickered his blonde hair spiking rigidly as he ascended to Super Saiyan Two." Look, no sense talking to her. She seems fit in her ways, let's knock her block off and get to the rest," Caulifla popped her knuckles before shooting forward.
Pan looked at the flying Super Saiyan Two and attempted to stop her." Caulifla! You can't do this one alone!" Gohan's daughter shouted leaving the ground in her own Super Saiyan charge, modified orange gi flapping in the wind.
Bra and Cha looked at each other." Can't kill anytime with this!" Cha shouted clenching fist running forward with fists balled and eyes lowered.
"You don't have to look over my shoulder! I have this one!" Caulifla barked swinging her leg up mere inches in front of Mirra Shenron. The Shadow Dragon's body seemed to move through the kick before appearing behind her. The Super Saiyan Two paused as Mirra's hidden ki exploded to the surface in a dark presence that lurked behind her." What the-" she turned to find the Shadow Dragon in mid-movement having already countered her.
Mirra's left foot smashed into Caulifla's left side, her ribs crunching under the impact. A ripple coursed through the air as her blue-green eyes expanded at the sight of her foe's red ones. The air around Caulifla broke away after making the eye contact and she was sent hurtling down the street. Pavement chipped and flipped away as she bounced over it like a ball. She smashed through a light post and then found her body careening through the front windshield of a parked car. The impact compacted the hood and peeled the roof off like it was a sardine can.
Pan came in next with her left forearm, the time between her and Caulifla's take off being all it took for the kick to connect. Her strike came crashing down and Mirra Shenron looked up at her with eyes full of merciless intent." Snap out of it Mirra!" Pan barked throwing it forward at top speed.
Mirra Shenron wrapped her friend around the wrist and in one swift motion spun around. Pan's shoulder jerked and she went along with the movement unable to grasp the situation. The jerking through smashed Pan back first to the pavement, crushing in into a crater whist Mirra kept hold and twisted on her toes. The Saiyan daughter of Son Gohan was lifted with this dance as well before being thrown at a nearby building.
Her back struck at the second floor blasting all of the windows from their position in a single catastrophic boom. The worst part was that the force of the throw actually carried her upward along the building's side. Cracks spread through its concrete exterior as the golden haired hybrid rocketed along its facade. Windows broke along the way as Pan flew by. She came to a stop after smashing into an outcropping at the top of the building, breaking it into a dozen pieces on her collision course.
"Serves you right," Mirra snidely remarked turning her attention to Bra and Cha, who took at her with everything they could.
"Ha da dadada!" they were yelling in unison unloading with a ferocious barrage of punches and kicks.
Mirra Shenron looked on at the display and chuckled, her eyes flashing for a moment. Her right hand alone fired out to meet their combined assault having timed their blows. Each punch smashed into her open palm with a dulled 'paf' sound that echoed over the street like machine gun fire. Her casual movements were proving enough to stop the tandem in the tracks.
"Tch, you two are nothing but insects compared to me. And to the Demon Realm, you are even less," Mirra snickered palming her right hand forth. It pushed Cha's left hand back into the Hera-jin's face stumbling her back. Bra's right hand was knocked aside twisting her away from the Shadow Dragon casually." You should just kneel and accept defeat," Mirra flickered away.
Cha looked to her side where the Shadow Dragon reappeared." Mirra, you don't want to do this!" Cha shouted throwing her arm up in a guard.
Pain spiked through her body from below as Mirra Shenron disappeared from her sight." But I do, it feels so right," Mirra said from beneath the crossed guard of her former friend, left hand buried deeply into her core.
"Fleh," Cha gagged spittle running from her mouth. Force coursed through her body from the blow, the pavement for the stretch behind her splitting in a straight line. Mirra removed her fist and allowed that force to carry the Hera-jin down West City's streets.
Cha crashed into a parked car, her body folding it like nothing. The force though carried the car and her several dozen feet back in a wild spin that ended with Cha smashing through a glass storefront within the vehicle's binding.
Mirra Shenron snickered looking up at the last member of the ensemble to face her, Keru, who balled her fists in determination." And what are you waiting for?" Mirra snickered flash stepping down the street to face the Universe Six Saiyan head on.
The female Super Saiyan smiled. Her golden hair blew in the wind caused by the arrival of the Shadow Dragon." I'm waiting for the others," Keru said in her typical quiet way, a smug Saiyan confidence crossing her face.
Mirra Shenron tilted her head in confusion, white hair draping along." There are no other, I have already dealt with them. You will just be the next to die!" Mirra Shenron turned sour raising her right hand and directing it at the Saiyan from Universe Six.
"Don't go counting me out!" Caulifla's voice raised. A pair of disk-like energy blasts twisted through the air. They dazzled through the rainy droplets in a crimson showcase, each blast twirling within itself and beyond powerfully.
'BWOOM! BWOM!' before Mirra could reach the two blasts met her flex and exploded.
Universe Six's Super Saiyan Two rocketed to the spot beside her ally. Mirra's body swallowed by the smoke of the sudden energy blasts." Good one Keru, way to stick to the plan," Caulifla smiled raising her right hand toward the Shadow Dragon. A spark of red light appearing like a star in front of her palm.
Mirra Shenron blasted through the smoke instantly, her right hand drawn for a strike. It swatted out and hammered into Caulifla's left cheek, knocking her head aside with a snapping sound. blood escaped from the corner of the female Saiyan's mouth and his feet left the ground again. She spiraled through the air crazily from the collision blasting rain about like a sprinkler on her way through it.
Keru saw her ally crash down before bringing her right hand up into the chin of the Shadow Dragon." You aren't hurting sis anymore!" she shouted thrusting the blow upward with great force. Pavement shattered at their feet and nearby buildings rocked from the impact, but the Shadow Dragon's head barely moved, the gap between their powers too large to compensate with a mere punch.
Mirra looked at Keru with boredom filled eyes, a smile forming across her gray skinned face." Fine, you will not have to see your darling 'sis' hurt anymore. you'll die next!" the Shadow Dragon barked flipping over herself, an impact appearing in Keru's stomach.
The Super Saiyan was shot down the street. Her body folded awkwardly as she crashed through debris from the other fights and riffraff along the street. She wheeled along the ground crazily smashing through fire hydrants and mailboxes like nothing. Keru came to a stop against a building that crumbled down atop her as the ground below rumbled.
"Mirra!" Bra shouted trailed by Pan and Cha, all of who were now sharing several similar wounds from their bouts with the Shadow Dragon.
Bra and Pan took charge first, throwing a flurry of punches toward their Shadow Dragon foe. Mirra Shenron though smiled weaving through a Bra left jab and a Pan right hook like nothing. They pulled back and threw their right and left legs up respectively toward her chin with great force, a combined Super Saiyan Two effort. She pushed her over foot out and caught both of theirs with a counter strike that launched them back in a skid.
Over their shoulders Cha came charging down with an overhead ax fist. It crashed down atop Mirra's single raised hand and rung the nearby buildings like bells, cracks spreading beneath Mirra's feet while she barely budged. Cha looked down and the Shadow Dragon's other hand was shooting toward her stomach, which was unable to be protected by her hands.
'Geh, damn it!' Cha's abdomen bent and she brought her legs up, wrapping them around Mirra's head and neck region. With a switch of her hips she pulled the surprised Demon Realm soldier from the ground in an effort to throw her away.
She flipped through the air from the movement only to land on her feet several feet away; her hybrid foes standing shoulder to shoulder to face her yet again." I know all of you tricks, did you think I could be beaten by something as simple as that?" she asked looking at Cha's hands.
"No, but I figured these would work!" Cha raised her right and left hands, a series of wires appearing through the air to wrap around Mirra Shenron's entire body. Cha's green skin rippled with muscles as she bore down to tighten the threads to the absolutely limit." At baseline you're stronger than all of us, but what if I sap some of that strength!" Yamcha's daughter grimaced taking a step back while Bra and Pan nodded at one another.
"Sorry about this Mirra!" they shouted together pushing off in a glowing comet of Super Saiyan Two ki.
Dark energy exploded from the Shadow Dragon's core filling the air around her with a vicious aura of darkness. The threads connected to her body began to split apart into tiny frays that eventually burst away causing the braced Cha to stumbled back. Her crimson eyes looked at the incoming Super Saiyan Twos as one would look at a snail moving on the ground." Was that really your strategy? When have your Energy Threads ever worked Cha?" the Shadow Dragon asked swiping her right hand out toward the pair.
"What?!" Bra crossed her arms a moment before Pan did.
"Darn it!" Pan huffed keeping her defense raised while trying to pull away.
A dozen blue energy blasts floated in the air in front of Mirra Shenron all locked on the pair of hybrid Saiyans." Die!" the flurry of blasts ripped out rapidly hammering into the pair of guarding Super Saiyan Twos. The explosion filling the streets and rocking the buildings nearby until they collapsed under the force of the strikes. Pan and Bra being swallowed in the blinding white-blue flash that followed their final detonation.
'Each one of those was a huge! How could you do that so quickly?' Cha pedaled back realizing her friends were shot to the other side of West City along with the trail of smoke that came from the attack." KA-ME-HA-ME-" Cha shouted bringing her hands to her side quickly. Blue ki filled the gap between her hands casting a spinning series of lights across the rain soaked ground.
Mirra Shenron flashed forward, her fist already driving into Cha's chin. The half-Hera's head snapped back and she left the ground before the energy in her hands even faded. The Shadow Dragon followed the lifting punch with a dancing thrust kick that doubled Yamcha's daughter over her extended foot, a force building in the air that caused it to ripple. Mirra pulled her foot free and touched the ground with it before dancing around and smashing the sole of her left foot into Cha's face.
Mirra Shenron followed by unleashing a furious series of punches into her friend's body. A right hook smashed into Cha's cheek slamming it upward. She followed with a left knee strike to the side that made several ribs creak from the immense pressure of the blow. blood escaped her mouth and Mirra disregarded it entirely while driving her right palm into Cha's chin. The Super Hera was launched back into the air. Her head leaning back Cha had no idea that a spinning martial arts kick was coming, but she felt every bit of it as it met her brow ridge.
'WHOOOM!' buildings in their general vicinity crumbled as the daughter of Yamcha left the ground. Her red-orange hair smashed through concrete and steel like a knife would cut through butter. She smashed down several hundred yards away in a pile of debris and broken infrastructure, unable to move.
Caulifla stood up on the opposite side of the street. Rubble fell from her shoulders dropping onto the streets as she pushed through tons of debris in the process. Her blue-green eyes looked forward at the Shadow Dragon sternly. A stream of blood ran from beneath her nose and heavy breaths escaped her mouth, but she stayed standing strong." Damn, she beat all three of them like nothing huh," she ground her teeth.
"Don't go thinking I'm like them though!" she belted to the sky, hands balling tightly." HAAAAA!" Caulifla roared, her golden aura exploding out brilliantly. Streams of lightning rippled through it shaking the ground as she called forth the Super Saiyan Two power that she had been using. Cracks spread through the ground as the sky rumbled.
Mirra Shenron turned her gaze coldly toward the female Super Saiyan Two with a cold scowl." You Saiyans are the same no matter where you come from. Prideful to a fault. You should be able to feel that you stand no chance against me, but here you are standing anyway!" Mirra's hand raised, a spinning sphere of blue-white energy appearing in front of her open palm.
"Just die already! BIG BANG ATTACK!" she roared throwing her hand forth and firing the attack toward the stunned Caulifla.
She crossed her arms and lowered her head, a shout in the distance catching her ear over all the combat that was occurring.' Is this really how it all ends for me?' she winced clenching her teeth tightly realizing her mistake.
"Trunks, did they follow us out of West City?" Goten asked his partner knowing that he was trailing just behind.
The youngest son of Son Goku looked on with a serious stare." Yeah, but they'll be catching up really soon. We need to get to a place where we can transform to Super Saiyan Three at least, to stand a chance," Trunks replied seriously, his golden Super Saiyan aura shooting behind him in a powerful twisting stream.
"We're coming onto a wasteland we can land there and hope," Goten replied strongly doubling down and blasting away faster.
"Right!" Trunks replied, the echoes of extreme combat ringing over West City.' Everyone, hold on okay? If we can stick to what our plans were, we can win without a hitch,' the half-Saiyan thought before following Goten to the ground.
Mere seconds after they landed their opposing warriors touched down, their black hair bobbing whilst staring down the pair of Super Saiyans. There was no discernible concern in the posture of the two masked warriors as they stared down their half-Saiyan counterparts.
Trunks looked to Goten." Time to give it everything we've got!" Goten said balling his fists, a golden glow exploding from his core pushing his Super Saiyan aura out further.
"Took the words out of my mouth!" Trunks replied, his clenched hands boosting the golden aura around him.
The driving rain beat down on the dusty canyon floor only to evaporate in their potent Super Saiyan auras as they deepened their stances. Teeth grinding, they looked at their foes, who approached with a deliberate menace. The dark ki of the Demon Realm exploding across their bodies in a contrasting purple-black aura to the golden-white of the two Super Saiyans. Their casual movements contrasting the distress of their foes as well.
Wind exploded around the pair of hybrids as they opened their mouths, the rain being sent away by the rising energy around them. Tremors reached across the wasteland shaking the ancient rock works with the mighty ki that flowed from their cores. The dark clouds lost their crimson lightning having it replaced momentarily by flashing blue and white ladders of energy. The two hybrids leered up with a single bang dangling between their focused blue-green eyes. Their hair stood more rigid now, but it failed to daunt their approaching foes.
Trunks' body slumped forward, his abdomen tensing beneath the black Capsule Corps shirt he was wearing." AAAAAAAAHHHH!" flashes of his ki propagated out over the wasteland forming blistering cyclones that began to carve over the dusty bottoms. Lightning ripped free from his aura, blitzing through the cyclones to fade several feet away. White knuckles appeared at the edge of his balled fists while he continued to call the energy forth." HAAAA!" his spiking golden hair reached upward and back with the shout, a blazing inferno of golden yellow energy exploding from around him. His blue-green eyes momentarily losing their pupils.
Trunks looked up carrying a mane of hair behind his head, a blazing aura resounding from seemingly within his body." All right, I'm not even going to give you a chance now," Trunks commented, the ground at his feet crushing as he hovered above it.
Beside him Goten's body resounded within a similar aura. The gi, an exact replica of his father's orange Turtle School make, flapped like crazy within it while he stared onward with a primal rage. Flashes of his ki expanded out in a tent the made the heavens above tremble. His voice began to fade from its monumental shout as he lowered his head. a flowing golden mat of hair hung from his head allowing a single bang to dangle between his eyebrow-less ridges.
"Let's do this Trunks, just like we talked about," the stern son of Son Goku commented his voice coming across hoarse from the scream he had endured.
The pair hovered over the ground, their aura causing small cracks to form and several loose pebbles to rise from within. In an instant they "skated" over the ground at speeds far beyond light, balling their fists in tandem against the malevolent Demon Realm Saiyans. Together they leaned back and let their fists fly, tracing two paths of sparkling gold through the air in attempt to reach their opponents.
Both Masked Saiyans took a step forward, their red eyes glowing as their black hair ripped upward into a Super Saiyan flame. Their counter punches fired out and smashed into their grandchildren's blow. White light sprayed from the collision site and threw several pillars of rock flying into oblivion while rocking the planet beneath the rainy sky.
Trunks pulled back first facing the caped Masked Saiyan sternly, his right hand screaming through the air at his foe. It was knocked aside with a flick of the regal Saiyan's wrist tipping the half-breed off balance. Trunks stumbled to the side with the motion and his opponent's gloved hand came reaching for his face bearing the gift of a spinning purple ki blast. Vegeta's son leaned back from the attempted blast and brought his right leg up in an overhead kick. It collided with the Masked Saiyan's temple shooting him sway with the sudden impact.
From there his palms touched the ground and he spun to a vertical base, kicking a small sandstorm up in the process. Once on his feet Vegeta's son dashed across the sand after the invading adversary.' Have to keep on him, a moment's break was all it took for him to nearly kill me!' the Super Saiyan Three thought as Goten's movements flickered against the opponent behind him.
Reaching the Masked Saiyan, before he could return to a stable position, Trunks pushed his left hand deep into his foe's stomach. The blow connected with such force that the armor plating around the spiky haired warrior's cut cracked. Air rushed from the mask showing that he had winded his foe. Trunks pulled his left hand free and brought the edge of his right hand down into the Masked Saiyan's collar bone. A snapping sound rang out and Trunks backed away momentarily.
"Grah!" the Demon Realm Saiyan howled reaching for his damaged left arm with a hesitance and a shout of pain. His red eyes though had no time for sympathy as Trunks' black clothed leg shimmered in front of him.
The kick seemed wild at first but upon contact with the right side of the Masked Saiyan's face it had proved most planned. The force played out in a dance across the opposing warrior's mask before exploding out the other side in a sonic boom. This movement trickled down to the boots upon the warrior's feet pulling him from the ground as Trunks wheeled to the side.
Trunks landed onto his feet and sprang backward, the shaking of the ground beneath his feet exploding out with fissure between the two." Here take this!" Trunks shouted while fading back his arms extending to call forth a massive amount of ki. Two trails of discharge coalesced within his extended palms making the Super Saiyan Three glare at his masked adversary.
"FINAL FLASH!" the dark sky seemed to blink in a strobe as the attack ripped forward. Its jagged edge carved along the top of the new fissure while streaking several times Trunks' height at the apex. The Masked Saiyan leered up in a moment of confusion as the beam was upon him its blinding glow illuminating even the dark sky above them.
'WHOOOOM!' it blasted over the Masked Saiyan before curving off to the horizon. In the far distance a star glowed as the beam parted the atmosphere a massive explosion following that shone brilliant light down through the black clouds.
Goten meanwhile, back lit by his friend's attack, was duking it out squarely against the Masked Saiyan foe. His right hand hooked against the Saiyan's cheek throwing his head aside. Following swiftly Goten's rising left pounded his Super Saiyan foe's head backward. That was followed by a swinging right elbow to the temple that knocked the Masked Saiyan back before a left forearm shot stumbled him away.
The Masked Saiyan looked at Goten after that exchanged, starring daggers, before blitzing at him immediately. Goten's eyes widened and he walked backward before vanishing into nothingness as the first punch flew. Their next collision occurred several hundred feet above the ground. And then again on the canyon's right wall. Then, on the left. Then, a stream of impacts dented the canyon floor. Another dozen or so rocked the back wall as a vertical line of collisions spilled upward into the furious rains and winds of the sky.
Goten's frame flickered in front of a beam of crashing red lightning, his opponent on the other side of it. The flash ended and they had already moved from that spot. A dozen blows or more had been trading in the time of that single lightning bolt though. The clouds showed dents to prove exactly how far and fast they were going.
A spire of rock in the distance pounded down with a golden flash and a single planet chattering right hand. The ground rattled and a crack spread from the epicenter of the blow. Floating overhead the long haired Saiyan stood triumphant leering down at the rocky carnage that was before him on the canyon floor and the Masked Saiyan that was sitting within it.
Goten kept his guard up and focused.' Wait a minute...' he thought looking down at the flame haired Saiyan framed at the bottom of the crater below.
Trunks hesitated staring at the smoke cloud from the Final Flash.'...this was way too easy this time...' he tensed thinking the same thing as his best friend.
'...I got stronger after our first fight, but I'm not that much stronger...' Goten continued to think looking at the downed warrior.
Trunks braced as red eyes glowered through the smoke.'...Crap!' Trunks threw his guard up as a purple blast of energy rocketed through the smoke.
Goten found his opponent had disappeared as well, a balled fist rushing at him.' Oh, damn it!' he thought parallel to Trunks.
An explosion followed hurling Vegeta's son back digging trenches into the ground.
Goten's crossed arms took the blow head on and he was flung away.
The Masked Super Saiyans snickered looking at their foes coldly, ready to continue where their battle had left off.
Eighteen and Seventeen were knocked backward by a tandem assault from the pair of cybernetic siblings they were battling. Their arms swung out in unison to halt the movement while casual smiles played across their faces.
"They fight pretty predictably eh, Eighteen?" Seventeen snickered with his black gloves resting on his hips. His cold blue eyes looked at Kamin and Oren in the process their silvery faces matching those of the cyborg siblings.
The blonde bombshell adjusted a loose bang of hair from in front of her eyes and let out a sigh." Unfortunately, everyone else is not having that type of luck. We should finish this quickly to help them out," Eighteen sighed looking around at both Kamin and Oren.
Seventeen shrugged and nodded." The sooner the better is right," Seventeen flickered forward toward Oren rapidly.
His right hand fired out and the silver skinned artificial lifeform moved aside pushing the cyborg to the side with the movements. His right leg hammered toward the exposed right side of the raven haired warrior. Seventeen whipped around the jabbing leg with ease, his blue eyes leering at Oren in the process. Floating upside down in front of the silver skinned warrior, Seventeen delivered a left handed punch that smashed into the crossed guard, the blue fabric resting on Oren's arms splitting at the seams.
He wheeled backward, opening his right hand toward the black haired cyborg. A barrage of glowing pink energy bullets ripped outward aiming for Seventeen's frame which remained upside down in front of him. The former Red Ribbon Android smiled as the energy blasts ripped into his body heavily. A black smoke cloud burst forth from Seventeen's body while several missed energy spheres vanished over the horizon casually. The cloud exploding in a brighter flash of heat.
Oren backed away, his left hand aiming at the cloud confidently." Haha, that serves you right for that insane ego," the confident artificial Tuffle snickered firing another beam of energy at the center of the smoke cloud to finish the cyborg.
'TOOOM!' the blast fired out and stopped in the center failing to progress more than a few feet into the immense cloud.
A green barrier spun out throwing the smoke away revealing Seventeen standing there with his right hand extended. Resting in his now revealed palm was the glowing red absorbing pad that he had gained in the unwanted ascension to the Super Android level.
Kamin stopped, looking through her crossed guard to stare at Seventeen." What? He's fine? He didn't even have a guard up!" she shouted in confusion as Eighteen whipped around and kicked into her guard at full force.
A white pulse of air streamed by as the blocking female fighter shot back through the air. Her large bulbous eyes shook as Eighteen straightened, the hair she pulled back flowing in loose strands in front of her face." You should be paying more attention to me. I have faith in my brother's fighting skill," Eighteen charged flickering from sight.
Kamin darted to the side throwing a punch where Eighteen's image reappeared. It smashed through thin air as the afterimage faded, a blurring sound coming in from the side. Kamin's large eyes darted there but before her body could reacted Eighteen was twisting through the air, brown boots picking up speed and power.
'CRACK!' Kamin's left elbow snapped inward like a twig as her arm was pressed against her side. The force carried across her jacket before exploding out the opposite side. The force of the blow hurled her through the air in a wild tumble that ended against the clouds. Panicked and in pain Kamin wandered back her right arm shooting over to her left elbow, teeth grinding together in confused agony. Eighteen's first blow had proved must effective if taking her off balance.
"Gah!" pained and confused Kamin looked around. Her arm was in shambles and she was attempting to find the cyborg that had struck her.
To her side, she saw Eighteen appear and taking the chance she threw a right handed blow. It fired out and Eighteen's image flickered away avoiding the impact and causing the artificial Tuffle to stumble away in confusion.
"You must have overheard what my brother and I were saying. This battle needs to end quickly," Eighteen snickered from Kamin's side her arms folded at her side while a calmness poised on her face. Kamin heard this and turned on her heel instantly delivering a flurry of kicks that filled the air with a dozen explosive impacts. Eighteen's body though disappeared after the flurry connected yet another afterimage that danced away from her attacks.
"Where did she go now?" Kamin paused her eyes and senses attempting to reach out to find the Super Android she was facing.
Behind the artificial Tuffle, a buzzing sound rose to attention. It was a sawing noise that whirred powerfully causing Kamin to turn around. Though Kamin was not fond of what she saw.
Eighteen hovered directly behind her with a raised right hand poised powerfully. Sitting above her hand was the glowing edge of a three foot in diameter disk of sawing yellow energy. The Kienzan picked up from her husband Krillin. The casting winds of the rotating blade made the loose bangs of golden hair dance in front of the icy eyes of Eighteen, her calmness in the situation showing the urgency that was necessitated. She threw her hand down to let loose the disk at the stunned artificial being.
"Destructo Disk!" she commanded the blade of ki forth, watching as it buzzed through the air over the short distance between them.
"Wha-" Kamin could only say that as all the events before her happened in a minute fraction of a millisecond. Her voice cut out as the disk of energy ripped through her stomach like hot knife would rip through butter. Sending her flying away in two halves that spun away uncontrollably." Oren..." she muttered shooting through the dark clouds below while Seventeen eyed her brother.
"How, how could you do that?" Oren snickered looking at Seventeen as he lowered his hand.
Seventeen looked at him confidently as a pink glow exploded from around his body, matching the bullets fired his way." I had the unique privilege of being made into a cyborg not once, but twice, and with the update I got the ability to absorb energy," Seventeen looked forth through the aura as it faded away." Not that it matters usually, but for you I made the exception. After all, there are bigger fish to fry," he snickered disappearing from Oren's sight.
Oren looked left where Seventeen seemed to appear before turning his head back where another vanishing Seventeen resided." Where is he?" he said aloud in confusion trying to pick which afterimage was the right one.
His left hand fired out and smashed into thin air as the blurry images surrounding him vanished. Except for one which came down from behind with a right hand preparing to slam down. Oren turned quickly and his guard crossed to take the blow. It pulverized his forearms, denting them in and releasing a burst of air that hurled the silver skinned invader backward uncontrollably.
Oren in the daze brought on by his defensive looked to the side where Kamin had been battling, only for her to not be there. The severed lower half dropping through the clouds in that moment as well.' They overwhelmed Kamin to this extent, who is that blonde one? Is there a reason that we cannot detect her energy?' Oren questioned zoning out for a moment as Seventeen approached.
'THACK!' Seventeen's leg hammered home against Oren's guard throwing him back again.
Oren drew to a stop as a pink light spread out beneath Seventeen's feet." You're strong, but can you take both of us on at the same time?" Oren asked wandering back.
"What?" Seventeen asked as the blast from below shot upward swallowing his body whole.
Kamin's light airy voice rose as she chuckled through the clouds." You thought getting cut in half could kill me? We can regenerate," she smiled as Eighteen began to fly over at speed.
Through the smoke Seventeen stood unharmed." Uh, regeneration? That seems a bit overplayed, but very well," he sighed as his sister floated next to him.
"The fight starts new here! You are not going to survive!" Kamin and Oren said together, rocketing at the pair.
"Think what you want," Eighteen scoffed returning the loose bangs of hair to the position behind her ear." We are still going to finish this quickly."
"So, you survived Jiren, I am impressed," Berumod snickered wandering back as Jiren approached with a slow methodical wall. The Pride Trooper imposed will upon the entire battlefield despite the nonsensical combat that was going on around him.
The gray alien looked at the clown coldly feeling no necessity to speak. His black eyes narrowed stepping across the asphalt as it rapidly cracked and broke away under the stress of his footsteps.
Berumod grinned pulling his right hand to the side, a series of glowing cards appearing between his fingers." Silent treatment, eh? Would you rather not talk about the Pride Troopers that died after you disappeared? Their looks of panic and their blood curdling screams?" the clown snickered looking at him coldly, keeping the cards lit between his fingers.
Jiren showed no emotion keeping his approach." Hehehe, building all of your strength Jiren to avoid speaking! That doesn't matter you are bound to die anyway! The Demon Realm has Universe Eleven there is nothing to return too!" Berumod shouted throwing his hand forward.
Each blazing card went shooting around at the gray skinned warrior. They glanced away from Jiren's body shooting upward into the sky with a huge explosion that did no sign of feasible damage. The footsteps of the Pride Trooper continuing forward undaunted, his eyes narrowing.
"Geh," Berumod tensed leaving the ground and leaving into the air.
Jiren followed instantly preparing to initiate combat.
Omega Shenron grinned bringing his hands up from his side." Come now you two, no time for a nap!" the Shadow Dragon grinned bringing his foes in with a telekinetic grab.
That was when a blue glow appeared in his field of vision from the left side, and a golden one came from the right." You're right Omega!" Goku's voice raised as his eyes locked on the Shadow Dragon.
"We just weren't napping though!" the Saiyan Prince raised his tone, the heels of his white gloves connecting together at the palm.
Omega snickered looking at the incoming Saiyan's with brought eyes." What are you two doing?!"
"FINAL-" Vegeta started to shout parallel to his partner.
"KAMEHAME-" Goku added their voices combing in that moment. Omega leered at them both with a state of confusion, his own telekinesis drawing them in.
"FLASH!" Vegeta roared firing his attack at the side of the Shadow Dragon.
"HAAAA!" at the same time Son Goku's potent energy beam rammed in from the left.
The gold and blue met in the middle across Omega Shenron's body evenly. The darkened sky sparkled with the blazing energy loosening its hold in the clear blue of Earth's sky as its two mightiest defenders raised their voices. The gigantic sphere of wrapping blue and golden spread outward from the point of impact with the two Saiyans feeling themselves freed of Omega's telekinetic grasp.
The sphere grew unstable within a few moments of both sides pushing, resulting in a massive explosion. Its fierce light spreading out across the entire city like a downpour of hope and power from the Saiyans own hands. They too were thrown back by the detonation, whilst bearing stoic stares.
'CRACKAKOOOM!' the explosion hit critical spreading it out further as the two Saiyans watched on.
Uub and Moro were locked in a stare down, the battles raging around them continuing to pick up pace and find their stretches of violence and destruction.
'Goku, Vegeta, you guys have to hang in there. There's no one else here right now be it fused or not that can fight Omega besides the two of you!' Uub thought scanning the battlefield as the fights grew more intense and louder.' Of course, he knows about the Fusion Dance, there is no way that he'd let you rest enough to use it,' he continued to think never breaking contact with Moro's vision.
"Are you just going to stand their Dai Kaioshin? If so, this is going to prove most easy," Moro laughed as buildings crumbled around them.
Uub hopped back into the Turtle School Stance." Of course not."
The battle begins in the Western Capital! Our heroes seem to be in the pits of trouble. Is there any chance of victory against the imposing Omega Shenron and their allies? And surely in the other Universes the trouble has come to a fever pitch as well. What comes next as these battles begin? Stay tuned...
Reviews:
R: I am almost certain that Hit is still alive, but I can't help but wonder how exactly honestly. Another enemy on the level of T.o.P. Gogeta Blue is terrifying, I can't help but assume that it is only second to Mechi in terms of power for the Demon Realm. The action starts soon, and I can't wait for it! Thanks for the great chapter!
A: You are correct. I'm glad that you enjoyed the last chapter and I hope that this chapter can keep that going. Despite the fact it probably isn't the best writing that I've ever had for fight choreography
Thank you all so much for reading this week. I hope that you enjoyed and that you guys have a great week,

King Kai's Planet...
Rote's eyes opened broadly, feeling the rippling waves of destruction that were coming from the Planet Earth. In that moment he realized what danger the Divine ki he could not sense was truly capable of. His black eyes shook much to Yamcha's surprise until the blue skinned deity cleared his throat with a brow." Earth is going to be in a lot of trouble Rote," the deity sighed as his antennae twitched.
'They are going to need all the help they can get,' a bead of nervous sweat rolled down the back of the North Kaioh's head.
Rote's hands clenched, a blazing blue aura exploding from his core. The small planet they were upon rocked side to side and the yellow clouds below began to twist around from the growing force." Rote? What is going on? Can you feel something I can't?" Yamcha asked looking at the Divine half-Saiyan and the deity that was looking nervously at the ground.
"Yes, there is a lot of danger like King Kai said. I'm heading to the Earth right now," Rote shouted clenching his teeth, the halo over his head ringing in the blue aura that surrounded his body.
"I'll try to call Baba, she'll get you your twenty four hours," King Kai replied seriously. He knew the situation was going to continue to get dangerous.
There was a pause as Rote kept his glowing blue aura around." Well, is she coming King Kai?" Yamcha asked noticing Rote's foot tapping at a rather irritated rate.
The blue skinned Kai wandered back, his lips quivering." I can't reach Baba!"
"What?! Then, I can't help! Try again!" the son of Raditz shouted balling his fist.
"I'll try again Rote, but Baba's never not replied if I talked to her," King Kai replied.
The Kai stumbled back shaking his head." No, she isn't replying!"
"W-what?!" Rote barked stumbling back.
A startling development. A leg of the plan in danger?
