Destiny Shattered Gaiden: Continued Work! Battleground: Elysia?!
Time Patroller Saga: Part Five
Metamor...
"Cheelai! Lemo, get everyone far away!" Broly huffed charging forward, black hair waving wildly in the wind.
"Wha-what are you doing Broly!?" Cheelai shouted as the large Saiyan charged his long haired foe.
'BOOM!' Broly delivered a punch to Kanba's face that sent parked ships and unoccupied merchant stands flying. They tumbled down the tarmac and piled against a large hangar at the end of it. Force billowed beyond it and Broly floated there angrily with his fist embedded into Kanba's cheek. The ground at their feet breaking apart subtly from the forceful collision.
Kanba's red eyes turned to look at the fist meeting his face." Super Saiyan God, pathetic," Kanba shrugged tilting his head to the side. The movement sent the warrior back without any effort, the green fur wrapped around the warrior's waist flapping.
Kanba fired off next, his red-black aura exploding out like an eclipse. Massively, he brought his right hand down upon the Saiyan's cheek. Thunder rung through the air and the ground rocked heavily from the blow. Broly's left cheek pushed to the side from the force and his neck craned slightly. Spit escaped through his pursed lips, but he remained firm in his footing against the monstrous foe.
'THUD!' Broly's counter punch scored center in Kanba's abdomen. His toned core folded slightly under the blow and the air hummed with an explosion. his huge frame shot back with arms flailing.
"You shouldn't have come here, not while my friends are here," Broly shouted appearing in front of Kanba, words naive and caring as ever. His left hand smashed against the side of Kanba's face, just above his mask. It rippled the air throwing the massive Saiyan down to the outskirts of the base. Bushes were turned to whirls of leaf while several blades of grass were churned from the ground.
Broly shot down and found his fist grabbed by Kanba, who did so casually." Friends? You excuse for Saiyans always cared about friends!" the mad Saiyan shouted bashing his head against Broly's own. It created a cracking boom through the air that hurled the huge warrior back. Broly's boots met the ground stumbling for the first time.
Paragus' son reached up and charged forward, black eyes focusing on Kanba. His right hand fired out and Kanba grabbed it. Booms fled from the point of impact and their deadlock became apparent. Yet it lasted only a mere moment as Broly's left forearm crashed into Kanba's barrel chest. It loosened the grip of the goliath while also sending him sliding away.
Kanba scoffed rushing forth at the large warrior like a mad bull. His right hand crashed into Broly's defensive front and buckled it, the large warrior crouching to compensate for the force. The follow-up left crashed into the same guard blasting wind up through Broly's shaggy black hair. Kanba brought his right hand back again, thrusting it upon Broly again to buck the defense and stumble his foe.
The Legendary Super Saiyan stuttered for a moment. That moment provoked Kanba further, who charged and bowled into Broly with an angry shoulder tackle. It hammered force through the Saiyan. That was the beginning though as Kanba kept charging with Broly hunched over him. Anything in the way was broken through and crushed beneath their speed and weight with Broly taking the impact.
Rushing into a clearing, Kanba threw his left hand around to grab Broly by the face. His huge hand engulfed the Saiyan's face spinning him to the ground like a ball. Broly's frame should have strike easily in the spiking gesture but two firm feet planted down and prevented that from happening. Broly's muscles resisting the strength of his sudden foe.
Broly's right elbow crashed into Kanba's side. The red shirted Saiyan sidestepped with eyes bulging momentarily. Bowling forth in his own right, Broly clubbed Kanba across the face with a lariat. Kanba's feet left the ground and he was airborne for a moment. Broly's right hand though wrapped around his right ankle and a switch of the hips bashed Kanba back first to the ground with a solid thud.
The planet rocked upon contact, Broly's fierce might being displayed opposite his foe. The tremors concluded after several seconds with Broly releasing his grasp on Kanba's leg.
Kanba snarled while picking himself up, irritation on his face." Pathetic, so this is the limits of Saiyans in this time," Kanba snarled balling his fists. Black-red ki exploded around his frame like a chaotic beast.
He rushed forth and hammered Broly in the stomach with a right hand. Broly's feet left the ground and his eyes bulged with the strike. Another punch met Broly's face, his cheek compressing from the blow. The force traveled across the Saiyan's face before he shot away. Kanba though caught him in mid-flight driving a left elbow into the center of Broly's broad chest. Broly wheeled through the air from the attack and Kanba was there grabbing him around the left wrist. A throw following that bounced Broly against the ground like a ball.
Broly bounced into the air from the attack, coming to a stop several feet above it. His eyes looked fiercely at Kanba, who lurched forward. Broly grabbed him around the wrists and restrained the charging goliath before bashing foreheads with him. Kanba's eyes rolled back momentarily from the blow, Broly though kept focus. He released his hands and used them to hurl Kanba to the ground with an ax fist.
The tailed Saiyan's face compressed beneath the attack while he was sent churning up the grass in the middle of the clearing.
Broly landed and looked across it at Kanba, neither sure of the others next move. Leaves fluttered through the air between them catching the gleams of Metamor's sun and shimmering with morning dew that had been present. These leaves spun about for what felt like an eternity, but was actually mere parts of a second, the pair disappearing at the time their vision was obscured by the same leaf.
Sparks filled the air rapidly, exploding about hundreds of times a second. Tremors barraged the planet from their elevated conflict. Lightning carving out as the large ripples exploded through the air. Broly's fierce shouts meeting the corrupt tones of his equally large foe. These shouting impacts played out the clashing of the Saiyan warrior and their relentless fury. Broly and Kanba, neither was gaining an inch, something was off about it.
Broly reappeared first throwing a right hand toward Kanba. Kanba's free left arm swept out deflecting the attack to the wayside. This opened Broly for a right hand directed at his chest. Broly's free arm dropped and crossed his body to counter the blow. He shot back several feet with eyes quivering. Kanba's strength was raw and primal like a true Saiyan. Kanba took no chances after the deflection and charge.
His right hand crashed down into Broly's face, the mountain of a Saiyan slumping from the force. The next punch fired up at his chin and struck with a sky splitting force. Broly stumbled back through the air. Kanba's left hand dug into his core in that moment. Spit flung from Broly's mouth. Kanba retracted his left hand and drilled Paragus' son in the face with another right handed blow.
Broly's skin flapped with the motion of force, his eyes bulging in confusion and pain from the strength. Spit left his mouth an evaporated as another black-wreathed hand came shooting forth. It struck him in the chin and knocked his head back with a momentous boom. Eyes rolling back he could not see the next strike, a knee to the exposed core that folded him over. Kanba followed up with a finishing backhand that hurled Broly toward the ground.
The Legendary Saiyan shot toward the ground with his black hair shading over his eyes. His body slid against the ground heavily, but somehow his boots stayed vertical among the soot and raised turf. The scar along his cheek flinched as all the muscles in his face thrived to the surface. A primal glow of green energy rippled free from his feet and around his black hair.
His black pupils shifted about hastily as he looked up at Kanba, shaking with rage. Veins throbbed along his cheeks while the pupils solidified into their new yellow irises. A blast of green energy surrounded him while his black hair hiked upward into a Super Saiyan-like formation, primal Saiyan power." Haaa!" he shouted blasting trees back like twigs in a cyclone.
'BWOOM!' he shot free from the ground at an alarming rate.
His right hand smashed Kanba in the face and sent the brute flying across the sky. His frame tumbling about uncontrollably. Broly appeared alongside him and rocketed both toward one of the towering mountains along the horizon, left palm firm against Kanba's cheek.
Rocks were sheered from the side of the cliff as Broly flew by, Kanba's arms and legs flailing uncontrollably. These loosened rocks shattered into pebbles before breaking over Kanba's head, the heated Saiyan dragging his foe along. Clouds part as they left the side of the mountain. The winds lancing out in every direction like a cascading dust storm. Broly though pivoted and hurled Kanba back at the mountain.
The huge body of his foe dented the side of the mountain, rocks being shot out and upward in a pseudo-eruption. Kanba bounced free from the mountain after several second eyes trying to clear through the debris. Broly was there though delivering a right handed uppercut that sent the invading Saiyan carving up the side of the mountain.
Dust and rocks went skyward with Kanba's body. The brutal Saiyan looked down among this debris with Broly's head swinging around aggressively. A spark of green ki appearing in his mouth." GRAAAHH!" Broly shouted launching the beam forth in a jagged line toward Kanba as his floated among the rocks and debris.
Kanba's left hand rose into the air as the beam approached. Dark embers of ki traced down his arm and manifested into a sphere in the center of his palm. This fire then stretched upward into a tower of black-fire that morphed into a four fingered claw. Broly's beam was nearly upon him when the huge paw was swiped at it, the air being distorted around the motion.
The collision was powerful, as expected, but the resulting deflection of Broly's blast was not. The green beam curved off the planet and beyond the horizon swiftly, the fierce huff of Kanba filling the air while he looked down at Broly from above, a second claw forming from his resting right hand." Pathetic! Show me more Saiyan God!" Kanba howled bowling down after Broly, who obliged by charging forward.
"Raah!" shouting Broly met him, a clap of thunder and burst of wind following. Two forces of nature entwining.
Somewhere/When...
"I can't believe we're doing this here!" Shallot shouted rushing at his sibling with fervor in his eyes.
Giblet back stepped and pushed the incoming blow away." I never thought that we would be standing opposite one another brother. The blood of the defeated flows through both of our veins, but if you intend to follow a creep like that the one tasting defeat will be you!" Giblet replied with a left hook that Shallot weaved around with a head fake.
"Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter what's in our blood, Giblet! It's what's in our hearts! And if you can't see that guy's bad news, you're blind!" Shallot roared ramming a right hand into Giblet's core.
It met the heavy glove of his sibling stopped with a gust of wind and force." You always were an optimist. I figured telling you to scram during that explosion would keep your safe, so I guess I am an optimist too," Giblet remarked pushing the hand free. His right knee pumped in that moment of clarity directed for Shallot's chin like a rocket.
Shallot pushed it away with his own knee before swinging his left fist toward Giblet's cheek. It met a swift forearm that bowed under the pressure, winds churning beyond Giblet's hair as he looked up. Shallot drew the punch back thrusting his leg around for a kick attempt. Giblet raised his other arm swiftly and knocked it aside with a furrow in his brow. His own leg shredding up in the stumbling of his brother.
A sweep from Shallot though made the kick go high while the red donning Saiyan lost balance. Giblet's right palm met the ground and he wheeled to safety where Shallot poured forward with a charging forearm. Giblet ducked under it barely before palming his sibling away by striking his sternum. Shallot found air from the counter and swiftly rotated. He landed several feet away in a neutral stance as his brother recovered.
"You see that guy's face, Giblet. You can't tell me that he's a good guy," Shallot mentioned with hands on his hips, a lax moment being taken advantage of.
Giblet lowered his head.' Like I don't know that. I can't say my suspicions here though. If that red dot is the Universe Seed, we're still too far away for me to turn on him,' the Saiyan complained passing a side glance to the distance where a baseball sized orb pulsed like a star." Things are complicated Shallot, I figured you'd think the same way about your travelling companion though. Something oddly untrustworthy comes through his scent alone," Giblet huffed noticing Shallot nodding.
"He hasn't don't anything to break my trust yet, bro. But I bet that guy's been gunning for you from the start," Shallot rocketed forward drawing his fist back.
'He knows?' Giblet was taken back by the words, his foot kicking off the ground at the last possible second to avoid contact.
Their frames slipped away in that moment. A series of impacts filling the air in their place.
'Interesting, no matter how close they fly to Elysia, their bodies always teleport back over this point,' Hearts curiously raised a brow. Shallot and Giblet striking around at one another rapidly.
"Hah! Dadadada!" Shallot shouted flinging a barrage of energy blasts at Giblet.
"Seriously?" Giblet growled his hands filling with yellow energy bullets." Kiyah!" he shouted barraging his own ki blasts at Shallot's.
Explosions lined the sky and they whizzed forth through them, hands clenched to resume combat.
As they clashed in the sky, Ozotto leered at Hearts with a chuckle." Seeking Universe Seed as well," the demon monster laughed while Hearts raised a brow toward him.
"Indeed, I am. Obviously, you are as well foul creature," Hearts replied coldly, analytically. His red eyes gleaming what they could from appearances while Lagss followed the fight in the air.
"And you have a primordial God with you, it seems that is some form of key. A beautiful key at that," Ozotto alluded to the distracted Lagss, his bulky frame moving forward. The grass at his feet decaying with each step he took forward.
Hearts squared opposite the creature blocking its view of Lagss with his body." And if that is true, what would it matter to you?" his head tilted, arms never leaving his chest.
"Quite a bit," Ozotto's tongue left his mouth. It licked over his lips as if he was looking at a meal. His footsteps continued forward, madness gleaming in his eyes." Because consuming the power of a Primordial will allow me to have no hindrances while approaching the Universe Seed what a perfect opportunity," he laughed while approaching.
"What a primitive ideal though from an ancient monster like yourself, I would expect no less. I assume the Namekians of Old were correct about you, Ozotto. A monster intent on consuming and nothing more," Hearts scoffed, a small cube appearing behind Ozotto as he approached.
"Their Book of Legends if full of falsehoods," Ozotto snarled while continuing to approach." I will not allow a Shin-jin to stand in my way of obtaining the Universe Seed or that Primordial," he stepped forward closer and closer.
Then, between the pair, Giblet and Shallot appeared. Their fists meeting rapidly and in succession, neither stumbling nor losing their edge once in the even exchange. Winds churned among them while they beat along the ground. Flickering brilliant gold stars streaming through their hair while they clashed, almost as if they were on the precipice of going further. Two right hands slipped through the clash and into one another's cheek.
The pair of battling brothers were sent shooting away over the ground hurriedly. Their boots touched down at the same time and they slid to a stop, their backs turned to their respective groups while eyeing one another intently.
"Shallot," Giblet scoffed looking at his sibling.
"Giblet," came his brother's response. Tension between them being displayed in rippling waves of their imposing auras.
'Tch!' they charged.
'There is something else there,' Hearts noted seeing Shallot and Giblet disappear over the horizon toward Elysia only to appear overhead again. Hearts snapped his finger and smiled." Unfortunately for you, that is not a call you can make, lesser life-form," the Core Person smiled as a cube expanded around both he and Lagss." We will be going now," he smiled their frames becoming brilliant white within the cube.
"What? Where do you think you're going!" Ozotto shouted charging the sphere.
"Is it not obvious? We are still some distance away from Elysia despite my express wishes to teleport to it and having Lagss with me. You can continue forth all you wish, but I assure that Elysia is not within your grasp," Hearts smirked as Shallot and Giblet continued to battle in the air above.' You will return upon a conclusion to your fray, Shallot. You still have much use for my cause,' Hearts noted before vanishing.
Ozotto growled as Giblet and Shallot let fly their skill.' Cowardly escape, Core Person,' the monster ground its teeth." They seem to have given me a door to Elysia, Giblet keep your dear brother distracted, will you?" Ozotto grinned turning and rocketing toward the Universe Seed.
"I don't take orders from the likes of you!" Giblet roared blocking a punch from Shallot while looking over his shoulder.
"Still a fan of his, bro?" Shallot asked booting Giblet away.
"You want to settle things? Fine!" Giblet rebutted with a right hand that knocked Shallot back.
Time Vault...
"Planet Elysia? Supreme Kai of Time what does that even mean?" Xeno Trunks asked placing his hands on his hips with a concerned stare. The story that was told by the trio of female warriors seemed far-fetched.
Chronoa though looked somber, her eyes lowering at the announcement." Planet Elysia should never have come visible, at all. The King designed it that nothing would be able to reveal its position, but I assume Mechikabura and his imposing magic changed that," the Supreme Kai of Time lowered her head shaking it. Nerves were beginning to get to her at the sheer revelation.
"Okay, but what's on it that could make Oceanus and Mirra Shenron want to get their wish granted? A set of Dragon Balls?" Cha asked placing her hands on her hips curiously. A furrow was present in her brow in the skepticism of those claims.
"You poor thing, you're much too young to understand what's resting on Planet Elysia," the Kaioshin of Time smiled warmly with the thoughts of youth. Her voice then cleared with her throat." So, allow me to explain, what resides on Elysia makes all of the Dragon Balls, excluding the Super Dragon Balls, seem like pebbles by comparison. It is an artifact known as the Universe Seed and it possesses the power to birth entire Universes. Which means whoever possesses it has the power to grant practically anything they desire without limit," she explained nervously.
Trunks' eyes suddenly broadened." Wait, that means, Hearts is just like the one from that other timeline. He's trying to get the Universe Seed too," the Time Patroller shouted in awe.
'And we have yet to deal with our own Mechikabura. Thinning out our forces even more would be a bad choice,' Chronoa seemed to bite down on her lip." Yes, that does appear to be the case, among other things as well. Fortunately, unlike that other Hearts and the Universe Seed, this one is enchanted to keep out intruders.
"For a while at least, supposedly enough raw power can break through it, which Hearts does not have," Old Kai mentioned nodding his head." And you are going to be tasked with stopping him."
"But how can we do that? All of our help here has to do with fixing the distortions," Trunks pointed to the Z-Fighters that were tagging along. Their eyes broad at the prospect of anyone getting something so awe-inspiring.
Chronoa nodded her head looking to the group." Of which I am aware. You seven are going to have to work extraordinarily hard. There are seven Time Scrolls left and we do not know how much time it will take for Hearts to piece together the weakness of the barrier. So, do hurry."
Rote walked over to the table and nodded his head, hand wrapping around a Time Scroll." Guess, I'll take the lead on this one then. You guys rest up a bit, you've been through a lot," the son of Raditz smiled, a leader's glint appearing in his eye." I just have to find the guy with the bad ki and stop him from killing anyone, right?" the Saiyan questioned.
"In simple terms yes, using the Scroll will let you see what you need to fix," the Old Kai replied at the boldness of the warrior.
"All right then, I'll be going," Rote turned the scroll around and disappeared.
Earth (Age 845, Trunks' Time) ...
Rote appeared on the hill that he had seen a few thousand times in his life, even that would be an understatement. Thick rows of brown tilled land stretched as far as the eye could see, a lonely old man riding a tractor with a furrowed brow.
Riding the tractor was a man that had been much larger in his youthful days, his hair much blacker, his features far more refined. He wore a baggy khaki jacket over a white tee shirt and a pair of tan trousers to match it. His mane of white hair swayed passively while he continued to plow the field in peace and quiet, reminiscing about simpler times.
"That's the distortion here? Seriously, there's no bad guy to fight, just a lonely old man," Rote blurted out as the Time Scroll informed him. His rash decision showing exactly what had gone awry in this timeline thanks to Mechikabura's magic.
The man riding the tractor pulled it to a stop, his wrinkled features turning to the young man that stood before him in the field." Well, well, well, if it isn't my son. Or should I say a version of my son?" Raditz asked hopping free from the tractor, his legs creaking as they touched down against the ground. A tired sigh escaping his mouth while approaching the half-Saiyan.
"A version of your son, a different version of your son," Rote replied scratching the back of his head, the aged Saiyan still standing taller than he did.
"I can tell that, you're from the timeline Trunks went back too," the maned warrior smiled wrapping an arm around the warrior's shoulders.
"I am yeah," Rote replied looking to the old man with a saddened expression.
Raditz guided him away with passive footsteps, avoiding the tilled rows naturally." It doesn't matter, I'm glad to see my son again after all of these years, and the other things that we have been through."
"Uh, do you know why I'm here?" Rote asked looking to the aged Saiyan as he continued to walk.
"*cough, cough* Hack, of course I do," Raditz mustered to say between tired breaths, his fatigued eyes shaking. His muscles twitched nervously while he walked forward." You're here to be the one that fulfills my last wish, aren't you?" he looked up to the sky with a heavy wheeze freezing Rote in his tracks.
"It was supposed to be Trunks, today. But that boy is probably busy being Beerus' replacement and I can't find it in me to ask the old cat to come and do the deed," Raditz mentioned sighing while removing the jacket from his back.
It was flung into the wind, his body while less defined still bore tone unnatural for one that was over one hundred years old like he was. His black eyes turned to Rote as if fell to the ground a smile appearing on his face.
"Huh, it isn't as simple as Trunks getting distracted, but yeah, I'm going to be your opponent today," Rote choked back tears as Raditz entered stance, his boots kicking up some of the grass at his feet.
Raditz nodded his head, hair waving in the wind." It never is so simple," Raditz mused." Don't go holding back because I am old either, Rote. I could still kill you if you're careless."
Blue embers danced around Raditz's feet, sputtering at first. His fists clenched tighter and they rose faster like a burner getting more fuel added to it. These flames stretched along his taut skin and tired muscles filling them with Divine vigor. His teeth gnashed together angrily while his white hair began to color shift to the eponymous blue-cyan shade of the Divine Super Saiyan state. His knees quaked as the shell-like energy broke away revealing the shimmer in his dulled black eyes to the brilliant blue.
"I'm sure the me in your time got this about forty years sooner, no? Divine Super Saiyan," Raditz laughed with a pain chuckle a smile forming on his face.
"Yeah, something like that. You realize the tax your putting on your body, right? You don't have to go this far if you don't want to," Rote mentioned looking to the old man cautiously.
"I'm a Saiyan warrior, Rote, at least give me the honor of going out on my feet. You better come at me with all the power that you can, son, you still have a lot to learn after all," Raditz laughed bursting the aura out powerfully.' My heart is skipping into my head, I am gunning at this far too much already. To be young again,' he laughed mentally as Rote nodded his head.
Rote's right and left hands clenched." Y'know, I'm actually the only one that could do this out of the group of us that is trying to fix the mistakes. I'm the only one that can go Blue like you," Rote said simply, his hair exploding upward. The inferno of blue ki his summoned making Raditz nod his head. Trees shifting their leaves as he reached the crest of Divinity.
"I could tell, son. Come now, have one last talk with your old man, huh? Tell me all about the good things you've got to do in that safe timeline, the timeline that we managed to save!" Raditz shot forward at top speed, but to Rote it was half-speed.
The hybrid choked back further tears, averting his eyes for a moment." Damn right I will old man! Trunks is missing out on one hell of spectacle!" Rote followed suit at peak speed, fist slipping to meet Raditz's.
"Well, I just got done fighting a multiversal Demon in the space between Universes!" Rote shouted parrying one of Raditz's blows and delivering one of his own.
The aged Divine Saiyan blocked it with his left hand, pushing it aside." Haha, is that right? Years ago, a friend of your asked for energy to defeat something like that. Is this the same?" Raditz pushed forth with a punch of his own.
Rote sidestepped it kneeing toward his father's core." You can say that, I guess this is just the future of that timeline," Rote replied.
Raditz's left hand reached down and pushed it before throwing a fist into Rote's chin. The half-Saiyan was knocked back in a stumble." Don't get all time-travel with me, Bulma couldn't get it through my head so I know you can't!" Raditz remarked throwing a left jab into Rote's face. A right hook followed throwing the half-breed's head down with a stiff snapping sound.
Rote lurched up and struck Raditz in the core with an uppercut." You're probably right!" Rote shouted throwing the old man into the air with the blow. He followed through with an elbow smash that met Raditz's forearm. A kick that followed that meeting against the broad chest of his older full-blooded foe. Raditz shot back with the attack before pulling to a stop.
Bardock's sole son in this timeline grinned." That's more like it, tell me more though. How'd you get Divine Super Saiyan so young?" he asked charging at peak speed again.
"Well," Rote phased out of the way leading a chain of impacts into the air.
Explosions filled the sky, their bodies clashing invisibly father and son. Raditz crashed toward the ground where Rote appeared to keep him from meeting it too seriously.
"So, you achieved it in the utmost moment of need, huh? While Marron was in danger against one of those Demon Gods," Raditz smiled stumbling forward.' Every inch of me hurts, this is what Divine ki does to an old body I suppose,' he winced with a tear brimming in his eye.
"Yeah, you always said Saiyans get stronger in times of need," Rote came in with a high martial arts kick.
Raditz grabbed it and tipped it away, his elbow smashing into Rote's defending palm." That is very true, isn't it son?" Raditz spun back around trying to sweep Rote's legs. The half-breed leaping over them.
"It just didn't help me much, I ended up dying right after," Rote replied driving a knee forth into his father's face.
Rote found Raditz's afterimage fading as his father appeared behind him." Died?" Raditz belted Rote across the shoulders with a forearm strike. The half-Saiyan stumbled forward springing off his hands to reach a vertical base.
"Yes, Dabura killed me. And without Dragon Balls, things looked pretty bleak," Rote mentioned with tears streaming down his face, his hand being caught by his father.
"I would assume so," Raditz replied pushing Rote back." Your timeline didn't have Dragon Balls, so how did you come back?" Raditz asked having heard parts of it from Rote.
Rote brought his foot around and smacked his father across the back of the head. The old Saiyan wobbled forward before finding footing and throwing a forearm up." Yamcha gave his existence to send me back through a technique only known by the Gods," the old man's son said spinning free and adjusting opposite the aging Saiyan, eye holding back tears.
"Yamcha, huh? I never thought much of him," Raditz blasted forward unloading with a series of punches.
Rote's right and left hands moved quickly to deflect the blows." You don't in my timeline either, you respect him for what he did but even you don't know," Rote was cut off, blocking a right hand as it headed toward his face." That he was the reason I was brought back; I haven't told anyone. Not even Yamcha's daughter," Rote continued while pushing his father back.
Old man Raditz stuttered back before planting a foot." And why is that Rote?" Raditz charged in driving an elbow into his son's cheek.
"I can't say, I just don't feel right about it. Not right now," the half-ling replied upon finding his footing.
"Maybe you should think about, time goes by faster than you think!" old man Raditz remarked kneeing the half-ling in the chin to throw him backward.
Rote flipped onto his feet and shook his head." Maybe you're right. Who knows how long it'll be before little Daikon has to enter the fight, and before I might meet that fate again," the half-Saiyan looked down at his hands.
"Little Daikon? I have a grandson?!" Raditz asked his swinging kick going wide from the shocked sentiment.
Rote ducked under it before hopping onto his feet, right knee thrusting toward his father's jaw." Yeah, he's the cutest little thing," Rote replied as the blow made contact tossing Raditz into the air.
Raditz looped and came to a stop, Rote charging after him." Your secrets are safe with me son. Tell all if you'd like."
Rote choked back tears and nodded." Sure thing, dad!" his right fist met Raditz's raised forearm and they vanished in a flash.
Booms rocked through the air, father and son clashing and exchanging stories when suddenly they all stopped. Raditz's white haired frame descending from the sky after a fierce block against Rote's right hand.
"Father!" Rote shouted shooting beneath the descending Saiyan to support him.
They lowered gently to the ground with Raditz's head laying against the lap of his alternate timeline son." I think that was it, I could not keep going after that," Raditz sighed looking up from Rote's lap with a sigh.
"I knew I couldn't go as long as I used to, but I at least got you to sweat," Raditz smiled his eyes dampening with tears while looking up at the half-ling.
"You were really something, father," Rote answered back, a glistening tear sitting in the corner of his eyes.
"And you still are something Rote. I wanted this to be Trunks, after all we had been through it would seem right that I go out against the one that I trained with for so long, but somehow this seems right too. A battle with a worthy opponent comes around when you know it is right," Raditz coughed heavily, his words beginning to space out at the end." And even if this timeline faces some alteration because of that, I believe it will be okay. After all, you were sent here to fix the anomaly which must mean fighting me was the solution," never a moron, Raditz pieced what he thought together.
"Fight me you did," Raditz laughed as the tears began to streak down his face. His tired eyes beginning to hollow as further tears found their way down his face and to the soil beneath them." You've gotten to live the life that I always intended for you son, even though it wasn't meant to be in this timeline. The Androids, Black, they made sure of that, but yet I'm not upset."
"Just knowing, knowing that somewhere in that infinite cosmos, you got to live a life like this one. Where you obtained the pinnacle power of the Saiyan race, where you became a hero outside of my shadow, where you started a family, where you got to be a Saiyan and a human, that is enough for me to feel accomplished as a father. Enough for me to have no regrets in my choices here," tears continued to roll down his face.
"Little Daikon, eh? I bet he'll be a real tough kid, look at his grandfather," Raditz said to himself while his eyes began to blur, and dark dots crept into the periphery.
"Dad," Rote choked back tears, but they were flowing down his cheeks at this point,
"Son, Rote, you have a multiverse to save now, don't you? How about you head on back, six timelines aren't going to fix themselves," Raditz smiled sitting up from his son's lap. Weakness aching his every muscle from stressing too far.
"What about you?" Rote asked knowing the end was near, tears brimming in his eye.
"What about me? Well, Launch will be upset if I'm late for dinner again, and Kakarot'll probably eat it all anyway, so you get going son. I'll tell everyone the stories that you've told me," Raditz chuckled reaching up to his feet.
"Dad," Rote looked to him muttering, teary eyed.
"Old Man Raditz, is finally coming home Kakarot. You and Vegeta, better have kept training while you've been gone. I don't want my rivals holding back on me," Raditz walked away his limping steps growing younger and more vigorous with each successive one.
Rote looked awed as the grey from his hair faded to black, the battered clothing morphing to armor." I'm coming you two. Don't be running so far ahead, I'm old," Raditz's voice continued to say as he walked forward.
His frame became a series of white lights that vaguely disappeared with each step, before upon reaching the old Son estate, they vanished completely." An old man, that never once forgot about you. You too Rote, you better not quit. There's too much for you to live and see yet," Raditz's last words faded into the wind.
His son stood there, awestruck in a timeline that had just lost its sole surviving full-blooded Saiyan.
"G'bye Dad, have a nice afterlife. I'll never quit," Rote smiled, tears dripping down his face before vanishing back to the Time Vault.
Time Vault...
Rote returned to the floor of the Time Vault and let out a sigh." That was intense," he sighed looking over to the Supreme Kai of Time." What's happening now?" the son of Raditz questioned.
"You helped restore four timelines, but six remain. I cannot make any promises considering how quickly things are proceeding. Hearts is not going to take long to figure out the means of breaking through the barrier," Chronoa sighed as the gathered Z-Warriors nodded their heads. She placed her hands on her hips and then turned to the table.
"If you hurry, we might be able to balance out time before you have to go and stop Hearts," she continued while shaking her head." But that next timeline is a dreadful one. One that none of you will be able to repair, it is a timeline that is beyond all sense of traditional repair, it may even need to be destroyed," the Goddess of Time sighed tapping the scroll.
"What do you mean? Aren't we supposed to save them?" Pan asked with her hands on her hips, eyes looking to the Supreme Kai.
"Some damage is irreparable. It doesn't happen often, but extremely powerful Time Patrollers have been sent to destroy timelines or at least render them inert," the Old Kai explained looking down at the ground.
"Yeah? Well, what's so bad about it?" Uub asked trying to be optimistic.' I can't just let a timeline die,' he lowered his brow.
The scroll unfurled after the Kaioshin of Time touched it.
It unrolled onto the table and began to display the image on the inside.
A blue haired Son Goku and Vegeta stood back to back with cruel grins on their faces. Destruction spread around them instantly as they blasted countless, helpless Namekians to smithereens without a concern in the world. In the background, Moro laid dead with two holes bored through his chest having been defeated by the duo. While they slaughtered those around them.
"Naturally, in this timeline's proper run, Son Goku and Vegeta achieved their training and garnered power to defeat Moro, who had no affiliation with the Demon Realm. But here in this timeline Mechikabura's dark magic drove them insane and boosted their power to unseen levels. Back on the Earth, Son Gohan is the only hope, but he is no God, unlike your time. This timeline is practically in ruin already," Chronoa remarked looking to the ground in disdain.
"Grandpa, papa," Pan's hands reached up to her mouth as events unfolded against her father. Goku and Vegeta dominating him while he attempted to calm them down.
"And none of us are strong enough to stop the two of them now?" Uub asked with his hands resting on his hips.
"Your Kaioken gives you an edge that neither could overcome on their own, but the distortion to this timeline created a Goku and Vegeta with no concern for anything. They would risk life and limb to end you. And a Hakai from Son Goku would do just that," the Supreme Kai of Time mentioned lowering her head.
"Then, what are we going to do? Me and Uub are our best bet out of the group we have here. His Kaioken and my Divine Super Saiyan, we have to at least try," Rote placed his hands on his hips." And it's not like this timeline has many other options."
"A timeline that is beyond repair? And it's one where I lost control, looks like I'll have to clean it up then," Son Goku's voice filled the room as a palm haired silhouette appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Grandpa?" Pan looked up at the figure as he descended the stairs, the red gi he wore hanging over baggy black trousers. The Power Pole hung from his back and a smile appeared on his face.
He scratched the back of his head." Not the one you know Pan, though I'd like to fight him someday too," Xeno Goku smiled patting her on the head with his free hand.
"Goku, shouldn't you be resting? Our Mechikabura is still out there," Xeno Trunks tried to speak when another voice cut in.
"Don't worry about it Trunks, we were given Senzu Beans. We don't need rest," this voice, Vegeta's came as the Saiyan Prince entered. He was wearing a black under suit and modified chest protection. White gloves balled around his fists while he walked down beside Kakarot.
"Hey, Vegeta," Goku smiled to his ally who looked at the scroll.
"Super Saiyan Blue running amok, huh? Well, it looks like we'll fix things here," Vegeta grinned to his rival, his furled tail rolling free from his waist.
Goku smiled letting his tail go as well." Hehehe, I knew you'd say that."
"Are you two serious?" Rote asked looking at the pair of full-bloods.
"Don't worry about us, nephew?" Goku stuttered for a moment eyeing Raditz's son." We're the strongest member of the Time Patrol. We can handle this one no problem, which'll let you guys knock down the five remaining scrolls."
Chronoa looked at Goku and smiled.' As confident as ever, but you haven't failed us yet.'
"You sure about that, dad?" Goten asked while Goku laughed.
"One hundred percent, Vegeta and me can handle this. You guys worry about the other scrolls," Xeno Goku nodded while fastening a small pouch to his belt.
"After all, it's just Super Saiyan Blue. We've faced off before and been able to hold our own, this is no different," the Saiyan Prince replied folding his arms over his chest.
"We'll hold you to it then Vegeta, Goku," Cha smiled to them. Despite being different they had the same aura escaping from them, the aura of heroism that she expected from the Saiyans.
Goku nodded." Yep, c'mon Vegeta, no time to spare," Goku picked up the scroll.
"You're right," Vegeta's right hand rested on his shoulder and they vanished.
"Now there are only five scrolls remaining," Old Kai sighed looking at the remaining distortions upon the table.' And that last one is still a bit of a problem, if any that is the one Son Goku and Vegeta should have taken,' he noted mentally.
Rote patted Goten and Trunks on the shoulder." Hey, let's get this next scroll together. The three of us, a little time to clear our heads and get the tension off our chest from Mechikabura, what do you say?"
"Rote you're a terrible liar," Trunks pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Wha-" Rote paused.
"You think the Supreme Kai didn't let us know what was going on? We saw everything," Goten added in with hushed tones.
"Oh, geez, well," Rote slumped.
"The next scroll is going to be easy for us anyway so let's get to it," Trunks smiled grabbing the first of the remaining five scrolls.
Chronoa nodded her head at the sentiment." Well, I'll be seeing the three of you really soon, won't I?" she asked with a brow raise.
"Yeah, if you say so," Goten replied with a smile before vanishing with his allies yet again.
"There are four left? Maybe we can each take one?" Pan asked knowing how dire the situation was.
"Pan?" Bra looked over to her friend with a modicum of confusion.
"Well, I mean we don't have to. I just though dealing with this Hearts guy would be pretty important, so," Gohan's daughter said with haste.
Cha punched the inside of her fist." Good idea, let's go," she smiled grabbing the next scroll.
Vegeta's daughter nodded her head." I feel like we might be spreading ourselves thin, but okay."
"Don't worry about it," Pan gave her grandfather's smile, the exuding confidence of Mister Satan helping as well.
Bra slumped her shoulders." All right then," she replied grabbing a scroll with confidence.
Instantly, the trio vanished off to different timelines as well.
"And you Uub?" the Old Kai inquired looking to the human.
Uub reached out and grabbed the scroll, feeling the immense ki radiating from it." This energy is Hit's energy, isn't it? Something bad happen at one of the tournaments?" the mohawked warrior asked the Supreme Kai of Time.
"You can say that, I was hoping for you or Rote to be the one to take that scroll considering the danger factor involved. Though, I am glad that you chose it, Hit would probably still be too strong for Rote. The Raditz, Goku, and Vegeta, that you meet there may have different forms that you are used to, but they will still recognize you."
"Is that right? Well, here I go," Uub turned the scroll, vanishing within it.
Metamor...
Broly was slashed down by the claws of his foe, their shadow-y reach keeping him from getting close. The burly warrior from Vampa smashed against the ground upon his back. As he recovered Kanba appeared nearby swiping him across the face with another claw strike. Broly's feet left the ground and he boomed outward from the point. Flailing about he fell victim to a third strike from Kanba, who slapped him into the mountain they were battling around.
The large body of Paragus' son hammered along the side of the mountain digging into it like a trench digger. tons of rock were destroyed and the entire foundation of the mountain rocked tree in a cyclone. Broly smashed off the side of the mountain with arms flailing free from in front of his body. The looming shadow of Kanba appearing overhead within the next instant.
'BWOM! BWOOM! BWOOM!' the ground cratered into three pits while Broly's frame vanished. Dust exploded from the three pits as the shadow arms that had been freed from Kanba's body reappeared. Their fierce attacks having thrown the warrior to the ground without a hint of resistance.
Kanba's red eyes narrowed while the crimson-black ki surrounding his body faded away." Super Saiyan God, how pathetic. In my time, you were vastly superior to something this trivial not that I wouldn't still kill you," the goliath howled sickly from behind his mask, attention turn to the base that sat on the opposite side of the horizon. The energy there growing frantic.
The hulking Saiyan went to fly away where a hand grabbed him around the wrist, its strength more than enough to hold him in place. His red eyes leered back and found Broly floating there, undamaged by the hammering assault and growling." Wha-" he could not finish before the tip of Broly's left boot dug into his sternum. An indent formed at the point of impact while a bead of force exploded free from Kanba's back. his mask letting spill a few drops of spit from the surprised blow.
Broly released his grasp and smashed into Kanba's cheek with a right hand. The metallic mask there shook and a part of it broke off before the long haired Saiyan vanished from sight. A cave appeared on the mountainside as Kanba's afterimage flew into the mouth. The force of the true impact spilling out in a dust blast of wind. Broly looked into the pit before flying straight in, his green aura illuminating it all the way.
Oddly there was no noise for a moment, and everything seemed calm. Then, the top of the mountain was hurled off like a bottle cap. Boulders turned to rocks and then to pebbles as a black-red wreathed frame was spiked straight into the air. These pebbled reduced to dust beneath the green comet that soared from the surface of the planet to meet the rising crimson spot.
Clouds on the entire hemisphere shattered, blasting apart in a single ring as Broly's left hand smashed into Kanba's face. Sweat left the burly Saiyan's brow as he flipped through the air. The fierce yellowed eyed glare of Broly never leaving as he tossed like a coin. Broly's right hand opened painting the sky a brilliant green shade before turning it gray and then back to its normal hue, a lone beacon of green glowing of his hand.
The speck of green in Broly's hand hammered into the aerial Kanba's core and sent him shooting up like an arrow. The sky shuddered as Kanba broke through the cloud ring. An outpouring of green light spilled from this ring rocking the planet whilst bathing it in the angry light of the burly Saiyan warrior. Broly seemed like a speck in the show while his foe's fate was sealed in the sky above.
At least, Kanba's fate should have been sealed. The goliath punched through the jade bliss that came after the Eraser Shell like a black rocket intending to meet Broly yet again over Metamor's surface." Is that all you have?!" he roared throwing a fist down with angry intend, veins throbbing to life on his muscular arms.
Broly's right hand returned the blow with equal measure. Air bubbled between them before exploding out sending both sliding backward with teeth grinding together as they stared one another down.
Bullish they rushed one another again, unrelenting. Broly's right hand swung out and met Kanba's face with a thunderous burst of force that knocked the juggernaut's chin back. A left hand followed bashing Kanba's head down. Spinning, Broly's forearm lassoed Kanba's neck throwing him through the air in a bizarre loop of confusion. Broly's frame flickered with yellow-eyed anger chasing Kanba's flight.
Crimson fabric snapped and twisted, Broly's fist compressing Kanba's core. Kanba's eyes shuddered before they closed under a meteoric left hand to the face. His body shot away and Broly chased after it like a mad dog. His green aura left an arch through the sky as he flew to the other side of Kanba's path to smash him down with a palm to the face.
Kanba's left cheek met the ground and vaporized it, tons of earth being destroyed as he spiked hard against the ground. His metallic boots stretched to the sky while his entire upper half was buried deep into the soil. A twitch escaped his legs before they almost fell limply. Broly's teeth grit together awaiting to see if Kanba had been dealt with by the planet moving toss.
Two massive claws of black energy stretched from Kanba's back to claw against the ground. They pressed like actual arms that lifted the behemoth of a warrior free where he reached an upright position. Smudges and shallow cuts appeared on his fair skin, his red eyes looking over at Broly with sheer rage and confusion at the might the warrior possessed.
His right foot trudged forward against the crater and then his left, and then his right. Before long he built momentum to the degree where his lariat took the stoic Broly off his feet. the large yellow eyed Saiyan was flung back by his red eyed foe. Kanba kept coming though smashing a right hook into Broly's core before driving a left fist into his temple. The air boomed with Broly's frame flickering away.
Kanba flashed into the air along Broly's path, bashing him between the shoulders with an ax fist. Broly lurched forth and gagged. Kanba's left hand grabbed the Saiyan by his spiking black hair to pull him back. This yank led Broly to be hefted above Kanba's head. The brute grabbed him around the left ankle with his free hand. A torqueing motion caused Broly to yelp in pain while Kanba relished in it.
"Now! I break you!" Kanba brought Broly down from above his head onto a rising right knee. Broly's body arched awkwardly over the motion, the sound of bones creaking filling the air savagely. Spit flew from the trapped Saiyan's mouth as his yellow eyes shuddered in utmost confusion and pain. Kanba's forceful yanking adding further injury to the suddenness of the back breaker.
Kanba released his grip on Broly's ankle and lifted the hurt Saiyan by his black hair. A grin crossed the monster's face as he twisted on his hips and hurled Broly face first to the planet below. The crater spread out instantly filling the air with a spire of dusty debris that continued to grow by the passing second as Broly became nothing but a speck in the giant pit.
"Super Saiyan God! How pathetic you were far more powerful in my time, or perhaps I was weaker! There is no victory here for you!" the berserk Saiyan shouted raising his right hand above his head. Red embers twisted outward into a giant sphere of ki that soon was tainted black with his negative energy. Dark clouds swirled across Metamor to the point where Kanba was standing, his red eyes leering out from the growing darkness.
Broly lurched in the hole in the ground, his black eyes staring at the growing black mass in the sky." Cheelai, Lemo," he grunted trying to regain vertical footing. His memories taking him back mere days to the moment where Mechikabura was doing the same in the Demon Realm. The pain that it brought him. The risk. The danger.
In that moment, his brain trigger something. A golden star shot from his core exploding across the massive crater with its brilliant light. His black pupils were gone for a mere moment before returning a teal hue. His black hair rose upward again into a flaming pattern. Heat of a scorching gold bathed his frame and his newly risen hair rocketing upward like a beacon into the sky.
Kanba stumbled back awestruck at the sight as Broly rose from the ground." So, you assume that form? You will still die!" the sphere was hurled forth at him with vicious force.
It poured down in the moment that Broly fired up. The Super Saiyan's body clashed against it almost instantly. The sphere pressing down toward the ground with every passing instant.
Broly though was still pushing through it. His golden aura a knife that cut through the darkness as it overcame him. His hair pierced the front side of the sphere followed by his face. His green justice filled eyes locked onto the towering Kanba, who was pushing the attack forth and he made his mind. Broly's right arm broke through the sphere and then his left and before long he was soaring toward the giant Saiyan with hands clenched.
'BWOOOM!' Kanba's face was slammed backward. his body shuddered and blasted across the sky, blood spreading through the front of his mouth. Tears streamed beyond his crimson eyes while looking toward Broly, who flickered forth angrily with Super Saiyan rage.
'THUUM!' a punch to the core dug into the toned abdomen of Kanba. It rammed through Kanba's lower back forcing a wad of red blood free from the warrior's mouth. Kanba's eyes bulged out and shuddered. Broly removed his fist and drew back his left hand, golden energy building around it.
'BROOSH!' air tunneled around the point of impact, Broly's knuckles leaving an indentation in the center of Kanba's head. The red eyed warrior shuddered rocketing across the sky.
Kanba's back suddenly arched over a rising knee. The Super Saiyan flickered there driving his knee deep into the core the long haired warrior's back. Broly's right and left hand interlocked and hammered down upon Kanba's chest. The ground below broke apart with Kanba's body shattering it like a ball through a pane of glass. the planet rolled back and forth from the impact with the Super Saiyan looking down upon him.
The berserk Saiyan reached up his hand trying to pull free. Broly though was there grabbing him around the wrist, the grapple crippling the metallic bracer at that point. The Super Saiyan's muscles tensed hurling Kanba into the air easily. Kanba flailed about broad eyed as Broly's head swung around. Green light swirled in the center of his mouth boiling the air into jade streams.
"HAAA!" the mouth blast shredded free. The ground reflected the green light back to the sky. Clouds were thrown wide and the beam engulfed Kanba before piercing beyond him and shredding through the atmosphere. Asteroids far across the solar system were reduced to nothing more than space dust; the very cosmos barely able to avoid shuddering under the force.
Broly's feet rose doubling the beams power continuing to hammer through the sky. Across the planet, broad eyes were watching at the sight. Broly's frame rising to engulf Kanba in the full rage at being harmed. Righteous anger in a quiet heart exploding against the fierce manic Saiyan attempting to beat him down. Paragus' son continued to shout thrusting his jade energy onward to defeat Kanba.
Then, fighting through the green light black claws pulled free. They attempted to stretch down toward Broly, but the green light was launching them away. Howling like a caged beast Broly continued his fierce mouth blast.
"Super Saiyan God!" Kanba roared, his red eyes glowing while his right hand pushed through the beam. The red fabric binding his chest burned away leaving metal bands wrapped around his chest and shoulders. His black hair waved wildly as he drew his right hand backward." I am not finished yet!" his hand burned through the green light.
It smashed through the jade beam of ki crushing into Broly's cheek. Broly's mouth blast trailed off onward into space and a stream of blood rocketing away from his mouth.' THROOM!' Broly's body was shot to the ground, the immutable warrior that was looking down at him.
The burly Super Saiyan crashed into the ground bouncing upward. Blonde hair waving in an attempt to look toward the sky.
Kanba hovered blood streaming from his wounded chest among black smoke." Hahahaha! That is the power I expect from a Super Saiyan God! I will crush you into nothing!" Kanba leaned back laughing.
Broly's broad black boots rose from the ground causing him to stand up to his feet. His torn black-blue pants waved along with the shredded piece of Baa's ear that shed free dirt." I am Broly, not this Super Saiyan God," Broly replied stumbling back, blood running down from his cheek.
"You can claim what you wish! It makes no different! I feel your ki!" Kanba fell to the ground. His heavy metal boots cratered the ground causing it to rock around." I'll destroy you, that is my destiny!" the long haired Saiyan stomped forth.
Winds blasted across the landscape, Broly's arms crossing as beams of sand and dirt waved against him. His Super Saiyan aura exploded outward and his teeth gnashed together at the realization wrought by Kanba's dark aura. The long haired Saiyan grinned as his red-black aura cracked the sky in blazing streams that began to heat to a searing white.
These white billows of ki soon burned a shaking golden light. Shattered rocks were ripped from the ground and crushed into nothing while Kanba continued to step forward. His right and left hands resting as his side, heavy footfalls breaking away at the ground while his black hair lifted around in the winds. Broly's frozen frame attempting to block the winds that continued to come forward.
Teeth gnashing beneath his mask, the red eyed Saiyan grinned. His right and left hands then rose from his side alongside him. He came to a stop several feet from the defending Broly. Blazing yellow energy waved from Kanba's feet among these matching embers. His broad chest pushed out while he leaned backward. Heavy metal boots digging into the ground, a black haired head was tipped backward his mouth being open.
"ERRAAAHH!" golden fire ripped freer from his sternum. His black hair straightened outward into flaming edges of branded hair. His red eyes blanked out before being filled with a similar blue-green shade to that of Broly. The defending Saiyan looked forward at the sight as Kanba's voice continued to rise into the air. His eyes narrowing.
Kanba looked onward within a blazing golden-white aura." There, I too have this form Saiyan God. The true Super Saiyan might!" he rushed onward toward Broly, who growled.
"A Super Saiyan is a Super Saiyan!" Broly rushed onward to meet him undaunted by his fierce foe.
'WHACK!' a golden arch spilled out from the meeting of their head. It stretched into the sky spilling free from the atmosphere as the two Super Saiyans hurled their fists together.
Their hands split from the punch and then locked together tightly. Heavily, their foreheads met in between while their free hands rose and interlocked as well. Tremors rocked the planet as both held firm in their position opposing one another with unyielding Saiyan might.
I know you're expecting the normal, "Next Time on Destiny Shattered" bit here and I apologize for that. The next six chapters are going to be focused on each individual Time Scroll to give max efficacy to storytelling. The next chapter of which will be Xeno Goku and Vegeta versus Super Saiyan Blue (yes Blue as they are from the Super timeline) Goku and Vegeta, so that's going to be fun. I honestly am doing that so I have time to re-write this arc because I feel this first five parts were moving way too fast. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for the next chapter...
Reviews:
R: Holy shit that ending is hype as fuck! In other news, Goten and Trunks, and their fight against Hirudegarn or however the hell you spell its name because its insane, was really nice and shows how they are continuing to develop. Oceanus vs the Female Three (*tm) was really nice, seeing her still hold back and not want to hurt them too bad for Mirra's sake was a really cool touch. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was that Pan touching upon UI for a moment before Cha arrived back? If so that's awesome to see, I've always been of the belief that she will inevitably surpass Gohan assuming she trains any and doesn't turn out like him, which doesn't feel likely. The upcoming fight between Gibblet and Shallot is interesting, I don't know how I really feel about how close we are to Elysia already, but I'm sure you've got tons in store that I can't wait to see! Loved this chapter as always, and can't wait for the next one, though please don't push yourself too hard etc, make sure to enjoy your life as well friend
A: I really enjoyed writing Oceanus last chapter. She isn't evil, she's just suspicious knowing the trouble that she and Mirra obviously caused whilst under the influence of the Demon Realm. Her kindness coming through in the stiff way that is quite normal to her, outside of dealing with Mirra. And here I thought I was being subtle with Pan...
Giblet and Shallot is fun to write, because they aren't quite taking it seriously yet. Though when we get back to them that story may be a bit different.
And come now, did you think I'd make it that easily? Now, I do feel that I've been rushing this arc a bit, explained in the AN above, but being turned away was always the option. It was a false hope for our villains as opposed to our heroes for once. Why? Because the King would never leave such an object of power under a mere guard of just planar shifting, omniscience and all that.
Tons and tons in store my friend. Next chapter for example.
R: It was an awesome fight with Hirudegarn. I'm glad Bra, Pan and Cha managed to talk to Mirra. I'm so excited for Shallot vs Giblet and Broly vs Kanba.
A: The hype can grow for their fights. I really wanted to write more, but this chapter would have been even more bloated.
Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you understand. Until next time be good people,
