Destiny Shattered Gaiden: Battle Super Warriors! Xeno against Blue!
Time Patroller Saga: Part Six
Age 780...
The blue haired warrior watched with a growl of anger." Vegeta, we beat that Moro guy, but, my power's going all crazy!" Son Goku growled shouting to his ally. A stream of explosions purging the horizon line. Thunder booming and flashes of water splashing thousands of feet into the air.
Vegeta tried to steady his right hand as a blue sphere formed there. His teeth gnashed together and he lowered his head." I-I don't know Kakarot! I know he was taking out ki, but this is different!" the Saiyan Prince howled, the blast escaping his hand. it rocketed toward the gathered Namekians, who were frozen in fear. Their deific Saiyans were far too much for them to even budge.
Merus watched from the Galactic Patrol ship with a gulp.' Will I have to step in here? They managed to defeat Moro a fair bit easier than I initially thought,' the Galactic Patrolman huffed curiously. His gray eyes narrowing as a figure popped into being at the edge of the blue energy sphere.
'BWOOOM!' the Big Bang Attack detonated. Instead of expanding out in a twisting dome of destructive energy it blasted straight upward in a jagged rush of light. The ground beneath it being brought up with a coiling force while blades of grass were sent streaming away,. two figures appearing there with their right and left hands raised.
These two figures were identical to the blue haired counterparts, though they were wearing far different clothing. Xeno Goku and Vegeta standing there in their Super Saiyan states with a few beads of sweat dropping from their brow.
'Another Goku and Vegeta?' Merus paused raising a brow in utmost confusion. Then, his eyes broadened with a realization.' Time Patrollers? That makes sense then, I knew there was something strange when they defeated Moro so simply,' Merus noted with a calm tone, nodding his head.
"Hey, Vegeta is that another version of us?" Goku asked turning his attention to the new arrivals and their Super Saiyan power. His heart beginning to thud in his chest as they looked forward.
"It looks that way Kakarot," the Saiyan Prince ground his teeth together. relentlessly a barrage of yellow energy bullets escaped from his hands toward them, out of his control.
"Hey! You two! Fight us!" Son Goku shouted to the warrior as the energy bullets rocketed toward them." Our kis gone a bit haywire and we can't really control it!" a beam of yellow energy left his hand in that moment.
Xeno Goku smiled balling his fists at his side. The aura that expanded from his body deflecting the energy bullets as ki built in his core and his eyes narrowed." That's the plan, we'll try to help you. Just don't be too upset when we win! HAAAAA!" he shouted enveloping the incoming blasts in his aura. The Vegeta beside him chuckling while assuming the same stance.
"Kakarot's right you know, we're beyond you now," his voice carried upward as his golden aura exploded outward. Crimson streams of incredible ki mixing in with the intense gold. Yellow crimson spiraled around both of them while the Super Saiyan Blue's watched in astonishment, the Namekian ground beneath their feet rocking rapidly back and forth.
Sweeping their arms aside within the air, the blue haired Saiyans saw their opponents for what they were. Both warriors stood side by side with arms resting at the ready. Their torso had been made bare and replaced with dense red fur that crackled with power. along their toned arms the pair were staring onward with raised brows and confident demeanor. Their eyes now a yellow and blue, respectively. While long crimson tails lashed behind their backs.
"This'll only take a minute, but put up as good a fight as you can," Xeno Vegeta shrugged before blasting forward. Rocks and grass were torn free from the ground and he rocketed forward. His golden-red aura exploding as he took after the blue haired version of Son Goku that opposed him.' Kakarot already got the chance to fight a Super Saiyan Blue, this is my turn!' he grinned drawing his fist back.
'THWACK!' the sky split with a burst of force. Water down below split away from their colliding hands as they met toe-to-toe in the air. Thunder blistered off from the collision while the Super Saiyan Four Prince looked at his Super Saiyan Blue rival.
Quickly, Goku's right knee snapped up toward the Elite warrior's chin. Vegeta pushed it down and tried to deliver a forearm strike that was blocked by the raised forearm of his blue haired foe. Pulling back, the Elite Saiyan went for a spinning kick to Goku's side. The orange donning warrior must have scouted it though, delivering an elbow strike to the thigh that stunned Vegeta pushing him down with it.
Following that up, he soared upward with a right hook to the chin tossing the flame haired Saiyan back. Vegeta stumbled for a moment before clenching his fists, an overhead right hand coming in search of his cheek. A collision occurred with the palm of his glove and he pushed the attacking Saiyan back. A spin of the hips later and the Elite warrior was opposite Son Goku once more having locked eyes with his rival yet again.
"Try a little harder okay Vegeta? I may not be in control of my body, but I've fought with you a lot. It's practically muscle memory," the Super Saiyan Blue said honestly to his rival with a grimace, trying and failing to regain his limb control.
"Grr, don't tell me what to do Kakarot?!" Vegeta shouted in retribution. his right hand hammering out and meeting the open palm of his foe. The sky rumbled and split with the force of the attack. The waves across the planet turning in upon themselves from the world shaking force." I don't need you to tell me how to beat you! Not anymore!" Vegeta vanished behind his blue haired foe. A flash of golden light igniting the New Namekian sky like a second sun.
Goku turned to block it, but the incoming kick was much too fast for that. It wrapped around the side of his head and sent the clouds in the air shooting away like daggers. A rut stretched across the ground below as the force shot off the planet's surface. The blue haired warrior let fly a stream of spit before his body shimmered. It burst away ad instantly appeared at the end of the rut. An afterimage of the collision tracing his path along the rapidly cratering ground. clods of dirt being flung hundreds of feet into the air before crashing down along side the blue haired warrior. The Saiyan Prince lowered his leg and leered down preparing for what came next.
Son Goku's right and left hands found ground against the side of the crater and he picked himself up. Blood and spit streamed down his chin to hit the ground like rain droplets. His blue eyes showing favor with the Saiyan Prince. The dark compuslion on his body though was not gone, in fact it seemed stronger now. The warrior's knees bent and he rocketed onward at the Saiyan Elite.
"Not bad Vegeta, but I have no idea what comes next!" Son Goku shouted throwing a punch forward.
Xeno Vegeta sidestepped the Super Saiyan Blue, pushing the incoming fist away." I understand that Kakarot."
They both then vanished suddenly.
Meanwhile...
Xeno Goku and Blue Vegeta were battling it out fiercely with a flurry of right and left handed blows. The sky surrounding them rocked and rolled with the effects of the meeting of their fists, it was only natural after all. Thunderous booms flashed about their images as they met hand and hand, trading punches and kicks at an alarming rate.
"Let me guess, you were the first to find that form too?" Blue Vegeta asked, trying to regain control of his body.
Xeno Goku raised his forearm and deflected the punch, a grimace appearing on his face." Yeah, it was in a situation like this against someone not too different from you now. But that was a long time ago, you got it pretty quick after me," he smiled throwing a counterpunch.
Vegeta's head weaved aside and his knee crashed into the furry Saiyan's core." Of course, I did. I really hate to admit it, but you're still number one," an ax fist bashed the long haired warrior in the back of the head sending him careening toward the ground.
Goku's index and middle fingers found purchase on his brow and he vanished with Instant Transmission." Don't give me too much credit, with you constantly nipping at my heels I have to keep improving!" his right foot crossed upward through the Saiyan Prince's guard and into his chin. A ring of pressure swept up from the attack before a pillar of force shot through the cloud and high into the sky.
Spit left Vegeta's mouth and he stumbled back hastily." Gah," Vegeta's right arm reached up dabbing the spit from his mouth." That's because if you slip up you know I can catch you!" that same right fist fired out, Vegeta's lack of control of his body leading to a rather casual tone despite the effort of his foe.
The Super Saiyan Four's face was knocked aside. The waves beneath his boots shaking and slashing about. He spat to the side before looking back to the rival." You can say that again!" Vegeta's right arm was bashed into with a stiff punch. His elbow buckled in but he resisted the might to throw him away. The knee strike to the chest that followed though buckled him and pushed him a few feet backward. Then, a looping side kick to the gut doubled the Elite warrior over.
"And that's why I keep training and pushing myself, to keep getting a great fight outta you!" Vegeta's left cheek was slammed upward against his eye causing it to close. Lightning darted across the sky and thunder clapped in the distance. A blast of wind followed and Vegeta began to trail away. Goku's furred arms struck out heavily in succession against the open core of his blue haired foe, thundering like hammer shots against steel. A finishing left hook scything through the air and hurling the Elite toward the ground.
Vegeta's back shot across it instantly tearing a rut into the landscape, but his body flipped to its feet at the end. his hands met together at the heels, a golden sphere of energy appearing there immediately. His teeth ground together as dark storm clouds gathered overhead. There was no mistaking what was coming next and his rival obliged by rushing straight for him.
'FWOOSSH!' the entire landmass in front of the Saiyan Prince was consumed by the golden-white light of the Final Flash. rocks were turned to atoms, and atoms turned to nothing as it ripped free from his hands. Plasma coils of ki rode outward charged by the lightning bolts of discharge that jumped hastily from the beam. Son Goku though kept going straight at it, without hesitation, without a hint of pause.
'Zip!' before the beam could meet him head on, he disappeared. Instant Transmission leaving behind an afterimage that was completely lanced through by the potent beam of energy.
He reappeared off to Vegeta's side where he threw his leg around for a high kick, knowing Vegeta's precarious situation. Vegeta's body though reacted quickly, dissipating the blast and transitioning the Prince to a counter. His arms crossing to meet the strike head on. Dust that had gathered behind the Prince of Saiyans spread out in a crescent shape, but he stood firmly resisting the might of Son Goku.
Goku's stomach was the hammered into by a right knee strike. It doubled over the crimson furred warrior, his mouth opening agape, spews of spit leaving his mouth. The possessed Vegeta drew his right and left arms back linking his hands into a ball. Forcefully, they ripped forward into the side of the messy haired Saiyan's head. Cracks in the air exploding out with lightning and thunder. The Time Patroller found himself spiraling toward the ground rocket-like.
He rotated and flipped down to the ground, boots crunching upon regaining balance. Vegeta though was there, appearing quickly. Knuckles ground into his chin, the white clouds that tried to reform overhead splitting apart. His boots left the ground and he was sent shooting back to the sky. Vegeta's frame darted after him, striking away amid a fire of bright blue flames. The blow capable of toppling entire planet's striking away at the warrior before him.
"If you can't stop me Kakarot, do you know what is going to happen to this world?" Vegeta roared his fist smashing the Super Saiyan four's face upward. Goku's bulked and furred body stuttered from the impact. Vegeta ground his teeth, a furious grunt escaping his mouth as he punched again." Everything that you love, everything that I love will be obliterated! I don't care how powerful Super Saiyan Blue is compared to this furred form that you have now, you have to figure out a way to beat me!" Vegeta shouted his out of control body continuing to hammer back the Saiyan low-class.
Xeno Goku watched as white gloves bashed into his cheek, then his core, then his chin. Then, his chest. His arms just marginally too slow to counter the superior speed of this Warrior, It had been a long time since he felt this way. Vegeta's white boot caught him cleanly across the jaw smacking his face down. blood spilled from his nose before being wiped away by a knee strike to the forehead.
"Damn it Kakarot!" Vegeta roared his hands pressing against Son Goku's chest.' Damn it! Whatever is going on with my body, it's too much for him to bear. Is this really the end, my ki driving me out of control?' he looked down as yellow light formed between his palms and the hero's chest.
Then, before the blast could fire the furred warrior's right and left hands grabbed the Prince's wrist. The yanked upward and the twin beam of golden energy soared into the air. An explosion lit the New Namekian sky from thousands of miles away in space. Fierce yellow eyes looked upward at the Saiyan Prince. And Vegeta saw it, the same spark Kakarot had while he was under Babidi's spell, and many times before then, the spark of a hero.
"We'll beat this Vegeta, I'm not going to let you hurt Bulma or anyone else, just because you can't control your body!" a right hand socked he Saiyan Prince in the face. His stunned facial expression turning into a smile. Spit flew from his mouth as the force caught him and he began to trail through the air. Goku's other hand grabbed him around the wrist and yanked him back, where a knee strike to the chin blasted out with sky splitting force." Just hang on with me? Okay Vegeta!" he vanished appearing behind the Saiyan Prince.
Vegeta smiled." Give me hell, Kakarot," he grinned knowing that his body was currently out of his own control.
Goku's punch fired out and met his raised forearm. The continent below cracking and buckling under the force of their meeting." Well, you're not gonna make it easy. But I wouldn't have it any other way!" they then vanished.
Dazzling images of the Xeno Vegeta and his Super Saiyan Blue opponent played out through the sky. Dozens of flash frames showing punches meeting stiff guards, and kicks whipping out of the way. thunder boomed and lightning striking down among them, yet neither so much as flinching. When you possess the power they bore such trivialities were just that.
The dazzling images intersected like meeting coils of fire. Spinning whirls placed countless through the sky, blasting clouds into ash and throwing caution to the wind. Vegeta appeared to gain the upper hand on his out of control rival. A barrage of punches scoring for several consecutive moments before they vanished again. Only to reappear amid a stream of contacts with Son Goku on top with a flurry of his own blows. The Saiyan Prince and Son Goku both slung back their best punch and flung them forward, where their afterimages vanished.
They split and began to throw another rapid fire clash of machine gun-like blows. The air split with each strike shaking the ground showing their focus as they met hand and hand on the field of battle. Together they threw forth a left knee, but the older warrior reached down with an open left palm. The impact splitting the ground and lifting up the rocky ground below. This was quickly followed by that raised ground being reduced to power. The son of Bardock being thrown back with an indent in his chin.
Vegeta lurched toward his orange donning opponent, throwing a right hand out hurried. His furry suddenly ruffled though as his cheek was met by the tip of a blue boot. His opponent's blazing blue aura exploding outward at the same time. The sky shone with the star-like radiance of the attack as Bardock's youngest son flung the Saiyan Elite across the sky. Vegeta rolled rapidly, but found during one such roll, Goku had vanished.
'Damn it, he's gone,' the Time Patrolling Saiyan thought until a zipping sound came from behind.' Should have known!' he wheeled in a corkscrew, arms crossing over his chest.
Goku's combined hands swung down and forced the Prince into the elevated landmass of New Namek below. It crumbled around his body while shooting a plume of debris into the air.
From the bottom of this rocky pit, the Super Saiyan Four Vegeta stood up. Rocks dropped from his shoulders to the ground below while spit ran from the corner of his mouth." Is that all you have Kakarot? I'll be sure to wrap this up quickly if that's the case!" golden energy rocketed from the hole into the sky forcing the blue haired Saiyan several feet back.
Then, Vegeta was atop him with a massive right handed punch. Goku shot down and came to a stop barely before meeting the ocean." Good one Vegeta, a few more like that!"
"There are sure to be me!" Vegeta shot after him with a hurried dash, balling his fists.
Golden energy swelled around the core where their fists met. Their spiked hair whipped and twisted upon itself in these gales, their grinding teeth and grimacing faces showing no restraint in the clash. Spinning streaks of white-blue discharge spiked along their arms before fading at the shoulder. The building pressure was a ticking time bomb that the pair knew all too well, yet amid the circumstances there was little chance of either backing away.
'WHOOM!' the building pressure blew off, winds stormed out in a golden fire that plumed out around the batted landscape of New Namek below, throwing leaves from their trees and cracking the blue grass along the ground.
The two had separated from that point though and shot together, the remnants of their stalemate breaking with their speed. Golden dots shot through the air clashing in a whirlwind series where the Saiyans smashed into each other furiously. These dots flashed to the ground sending a crater through it in a spiral. The afterimage of meeting right and left legs causing such a disturbance
This did not stop them in the slightest their series growing more intense from it. Glowing dots raced through the sky as they resumed their brawl, clashing dozens of times every part of a second. Thunder rumbled as they clashed fists in the neutral space between them. That sound was deafened to a whimper by the clashing of their kicks that set off another chain of blows.
Vegeta's right hand swung over his blue haired foe's head. Son Goku's possessed body attempted a rotating kick toward Vegeta's stomach but, the Saiyan Prince blocked that kick with his left palm while forcing his left knee toward the Saiyan's chin. The result of this was an empty burst of sound that caused them to split from their fray.
Vegeta's aura appeared briefly, his power surging higher with its appearance and remaining with its disappearance." All right Kakarot, enough games. I don't want any excuses if you can't hold your own," the Saiyan Elite remarked respectfully while also barbing his words at his rival.
Goku's spiky blue hair rose within a calm aura briefly before fading back to its natural position." Okay, Vegeta. Let's get to it!" he charged with Vegeta taking the same lead.
The sound of a vacuum cleaner as if turned up to a thousand rang out, it was the sound of two warriors jetting towards each other with the full extent of their power. Their initial contact made a sonic-boom as two fists met neutrally almost directly over the Namekian sea below. A duo of kicks arced over the fists' meeting place setting off yet another burst of sound as the two Saiyan warriors ground their legs together. Within another second their right fists collided again sending out a pressure wave that broke forth with a violent stream of wind.
'BRASH!' Goku swung under Vegeta's follow-up punch before thrusting his right hand into Vegeta's abdomen, gagging the elite warrior in a huge pressure wave. The air hummed around Vegeta before displacing as he shot upward from the fierce initial strike of his rival. Goku looked up, before shooting up after his Time Patrol foe through no will of his own.
Vegeta however had another plan; the Prince avoided the charge and kicked Goku across the chest releasing a pained grunt from the low-class's mouth. The Saiyan Prince followed with a backhanded slap that launched his orange donning opponent away.
'VRROOOM!' the air tore around Goku as a single left handed punch connected with his sternum. The orange donning Saiyan tumbled through the air like a golden pinwheel, his vision blurring partial. Vegeta descended leading with right knee, connecting with Bardock's son and his chest. Delivering another huge sound to the already noisy battle field.
Son Goku descended through the air wildly from the fervor of the knee strike before suddenly coming to a stop, left forearm swiping out to counter Vegeta's downward punch." Hah, yeah, that's the spirit Vegeta," Goku laughed swatting the Elite back with a slashing gesture of his guarding forearm.
Vegeta straightened stoicism locked on his face." I'm hardly finished Kakarot. You're still standing," the Saiyan Prince smiled before shooting forward.
Goku countered his rival's punch with a stern right hand of his own, their arms passed each other before digging into their target's stomach. Both fighters stumbled slightly clutching at the point of impact gagging from the sudden force applied.
Quickly, the elite level warriors shook that stun and took toward their opponents once again. Upon meeting again, they slugged out with their right hands once more finding them blocked. Those blocks started and impressive display of speed and fight control, series of punches racing out to hammer into the stoic defenses of their rivals.
Flashes of this clash played out everywhere. The waves splashing up in hundred foot high columns before being split by another afterimage mere seconds later. The clouds hundreds of miles away exploding and reforming in the vacuum left behind by their impossible movement. The upper atmosphere rocking with fits of heat and cold before balancing out. Their frames appeared over the ground and in the air nearly simultaneously trading punches with blocks before both appeared in the neutral space between them.
Amid these punches, Vegeta swung a right hand that slid beneath his rival's assault. That punch hooked into the orange donning warrior's cheek and momentarily stalled the Super Saiyan Blue in his tracks before sending him away crazily.
"FINAL CRASH" Vegeta shouted, a white energy beam. It swallowed the flailing Goku nearly instantly while blowing beyond that point as well. An explosion lit in the distance letting a satisfying boom out through the air.
'Zip!' the one sound that Vegeta could pick up in the explosion.
'SMASH!' Goku's right leg met Vegeta's forearm, which swung out instinctively upon Son Goku's reappearance.
Another kick exploded in similar fashion except this time it was Vegeta's leg meeting Goku's raised arm. Their arms blurred from the kicks and met in each other's gut once again, fluid-like motion occurring from both warriors. The result of this clash being a splitting air current that pushed both from the impact zone.
Vegeta took charge shooting forward a moment before his rival. Vegeta's leading punch made impact, the sound of which echoed as Goku was thrown through the air below. The low-class kipped up quickly, but it was just in time to eat another punch to the face. The Saiyan rag-dolled across the void before regaining balance a smile on his face.
This time Earth's hero took the lead and Goku's first punch whiffed over Vegeta's head. The younger of the two brought his left hand into the Saiyan Prince's jaw a moment later opening the armored Saiyan for another series. The Turtle School's most accomplished fighter continued his assault with a series of rapid chops before finished with an overhead heel kick that launched Vegeta away.
Vegeta charged up, throwing his fists forward in blurs. Goku furiously blocked each strike almost to a tee making the flame-haired warrior both satisfied and frustrated with his possessed adversary. The elder of the two thrusted a kick through his rival's blocks and found out it skipping over the point of Goku's nose as he ducked beneath it with a twist.
Returning from the twist, Goku left hand struck Vegeta's open right palm, Vegeta's closed fist drove into the low-class's gut. The flame-haired Saiyan phased over the hunched foe, driving both feet hard into his opponent's back in a stomp. Goku whirred up his aura as a counter to the momentum flying upward and striking Vegeta across the left cheek with a vicious right handed punch spinning the Saiyan Elite away.
The air shimmered around Vegeta and he stopped in a maelstrom of his aura." How did I not see that coming?" Vegeta asked through slightly labored breaths, a streak of blood running from his face.
"I got a little lucky, you really had me on the ropes. You're not Jiren though," Goku answered blood dripping down from lips, his battle worn features displaying the joy that came from such a fight.
Vegeta chuckled while eyeing his rival." Yes, the Pride Trooper from Universe Eleven. He's certainly something, but perhaps you should not be comparing a foe like me to him!" the Time Patroller kicked forward in another burst of speed and ki.
Strikes flourished between them as they floated neutrally in a single spot fists hammered into blocks. Churning winds cycled out around them, their frames acting as natural motors that rotated the air powerfully. Fury released with every punch only adding to the drill-like tunnels of air that surrounded them, discharging energy shooting through these vortexes and flashing out to the side.
The pair danced through one another's blows beautifully, hands and feet perfectly tandem with their will. Despite the wildness surrounding them the sides were eyeing for openings in the opponent's motion while keeping themselves orderly. The blustering bio-discharge around them sparkled and popped before fading away swiftly, growing even larger the next turn of their vortex-like recoil of their meeting.
Then, they each saw it, the opening that they were looking for. They hammered forth with balled fists aimed squarely at the opponent's side. The impact was sudden and sharp, a blast of air shooting from their bodies as they were spread apart by the resulting force. The rival Saiyans looked at their foe with stunned eyes, the same opening and result had found them.
Vegeta pushed forward a minute part of a second before his adversary and that gave him an edge. His right fist smashed into Goku's cheek with an explosion of force, whipping his rival's head to the side. Vegeta removed that fist and jabbed a knee into his opponent's gut doubling him over, that for Goku felt like the innumerable time. Removing that knee Vegeta punched down on his rival's back and an overhead smash, drilling the Saiyan low-class toward the ocean below.
It exploded away in that moment, a full five hundred foot diameter portion of the sea leading to the sea floor far below lost its water, such was the might of the Super Saiyan Four.
Gold shot past the descending Goku as he entered this lip of the ocean. Then it ran in parallel. Vegeta floated there with arms across his chest. Goku looked over with half-closed eyes and met a backhanded strike to nose, slapping him aside rapidly. Tornado-like Vegeta twisted and delivered his left leg into his rival's side at top speed arching Goku's body before hurling it away once more.
"Geh," Goku grimaced while forcing his body to stop with an aura burst. His blue eyes shook as he reached up and wiped spit from his mouth.' This Vegeta's definitely like the one I know, which is good. That means he can definitely give me a fight. Especially if he keeps this up, we might be able to stop this,' the Earth raised warrior realized feeling his body tingling with the sensations of Vegeta's fight.
"Kakarot, are you telling me that was enough to beat you?" Vegeta asked noticing the secondary glare of pain on his rival's face.
Son Goku stared up, hands clenching tightly." Not going to lie to you Vegeta, that could've put me out. But it doesn't look like it was enough. Watch out!" Goku's index and middle fingers pressed into his brow.
"Darn it!" a barrage of energy bullets escaped from Vegeta's palm trying to keep the advantage he had over the Earth's defender. The bullets of ki exploded harmlessly against the void, the zipping sound of Instant Transmission ringing through the air.
'Zip!' Goku appeared driving a right hand into Vegeta's face, before delivering a stiff kick to the back of the Prince's left leg. Vegeta turned for a backhand and missed as his opponent teleported again.
'Wip!' the Earth raised fighter appeared once more, left palm crashing into Vegeta's chest pushing him back. A spinning kick to the face followed smashing Vegeta's face to the side, his teeth chattered. His head lifted and Goku vanished again.
'Vip!' Goku's left knee appeared crashing between his eyes. Force exploded beyond Vegeta's body having cut through him upon contact. The orange donning fighter flipped backward and teleported a third time.
'Zap!' he reappeared driving his right fist against Vegeta's cheek, compressing it and sending the Prince flipped away.
'THWACK!' Vegeta's forearm ripped forward clashing with Son Goku's the moment he reappeared. Goku's eyes showed his surprise while his other features showed the enjoyment that came from Vegeta's counter
"Another use for Instant Transmission, that skill never ceases to amaze," Vegeta grimaced continuing to clash with Goku's forearm.
"I guess you grew up a bit different, but I used something similar against Beerus. Forcing me to pull out all the stops, not bad Vegeta," the youngest heir of Bardock replied with a broad smile.
Vegeta kicked away from his foe, his boot striking the defending knee of Son Goku, who predicted it." You saw that attack coming too, humph," he chuckled beneath his breath while resuming stance opposite his rival.
"Sorry, it doesn't get easier y'know, mister Time Patroller," Son Goku shouted before ripping toward Vegeta rapidly.
Vegeta hopped back to prepare a defensive against his incoming rival. Goku's fist broke through his guard hammering strongly into the side of the Elite's face, blasting him away hurriedly.
Vegeta drug to a stop and kneed the charging Son Goku between the eyes. A right hook followed smacking Goku's cheek upward and exposing his core. A barrage of punches lit it up as the Super Saiyan Four Xeno Vegeta released his fervor. He drew back his last punch and planted his foot deep into the warrior's core, to the point where it nearly extended from his back. Spit lurched free from Son Goku's mouth and he was taken across the sky like a rocket had been strapped to his back.
He crashed against a mountainside while fell down around him.
Blue Vegeta broke through Super Saiyan Four Son Goku's guard to deliver a brutal punch to the jaw that knocked his orange donning opponent away. Goku's yellow eyes looked at Vegeta's charging frame and he tried to lift his guard. He never got that luxury. Vegeta's left hand caught his jaw and hurled him into the air with an uplifting pillar of wind. A blue blur appeared atop that upward cyclone and a double ax fist hammered down against the back of the orange donning warrior's head. The void below did not even get the chance to snap with the impact as Vegeta shimmered into place several feet below his rival to deliver a spinning shin kick that hammered into Son Goku's jaw.
The Turtle School Graduate flailed backward from the force trying to focus his swimming vision and blurry eyes. Before he could pull that off Vegeta hammered a left jab forward that the taller Saiyan was forced to block with a crossed guard. Vegeta grinned rearing back for another punch only for his rival to spread open the defense he had risen to deliver a knee strike to the chest that knocked the Saiyan Elite backward.
Goku charged hammering away with a series of punches that Vegeta blocked with swatting hands. When he did find an opening in that front Son Goku threw a powerful right hand forward only for Vegeta's image to shift above his Earth raised opponent, rearing back a punch of his own. It fired down and Black's tried to keep up, but against the disparity in their positions the Prince of All Saiyans carried the full advantage over his low-class foe. The flame haired Elite flipped over and delivered a powerful martial arts kick to the side of the Saiyan's head; finishing the combination and throwing Bardock's youngest across the void wildly.
His right hand hammered into Xeno Goku's face, driving the Saiyan's head back with a blast of air. Vegeta's left then hammered into Son Goku's stomach, throwing the red-furred warrior through the air. Vegeta twisted and delivered a spinning kick to the neck that wobbled his rival before sending him blasting away in a compact spiral. Vegeta's hands clenched and he took after his rival, eyes narrowing to trace his path.
Goku stopped and took a punch to the face, his head snapping to the side from the impact. His black boots wobbled and a left jab to the stomach made them go limp as spit and blood flew from his mouth. Vegeta bobbed left and palmed his rival in the cheek bruising it to send him away. Vegeta followed through with a left jab to the face, followed by a right cross to the jaw, finishing with a backhand smash to the face that arced Son Goku away.
Vegeta stopped, left hand reaching to his mouth bloody pants escaping with each exhalation." Come on Kakarot, is that it? Have I really beaten you this badly to the point where you're giving up?" the flame haired Saiyan Elite inquired as a wind tousled his shimmering blue hair." I'm not even in control of my body and I've beaten you this badly! Aren't you a hero! Get angry and beat me already clown!" Vegeta shouted unleashing a storm of energy bullets toward his fading long haired foe.
Explosions lined Son Goku's path, each blast jerking his body back. His orange gi fluttered through the energy bullets slowly, blue eyes glassed over and mouth hanging open. Vegeta's features seemed conflicted as the continuous energy blasts continued to rain free from his hands. Soon, the Earth's hero was swallowed by the light and a huge explosion that followed.
'Heh, heh, yeah, I wanna go past this point too Vegeta. Heh alright, no sense holding back anymore. I do have a job to do,' Goku's mind said as the smoke and darkness swallowed him.
Two red flashes shredded through this cloud, a pressure wave forcing Vegeta backward. Goku's hands clenched and the cloud turned to nothingness, his black hair pressing upward as his teeth ground together. Blood raced from the corners of his mouth as his muscles tensed and shimmer with crimson Super Saiyan Four discharge. His blue eyes narrowed upon the Saiyan Prince and his clenched hands tightened.
"You're right Vegeta! Let me end this one!" he shot forward, a series of afterimages exploding behind his trajectory as he ripped beyond the Saiyan Prince. A punch slammed into Vegeta's chest, throwing the remaining armor there into the wind, the real Goku flickering back into sight there. Vegeta's mouth fired open as spit and blood ripped from his mouth.
Goku then blurred away from there, sparking behind the Saiyan Prince, right leg blasting the Elite across the back of the head. Vegeta fumbled forward into a right hand that sent force ripping through his frame. Goku removed his right hand and delivered a left chop to the side of Vegeta's neck. The Elite wobbled from the strike before being jabbed upward with a left uppercut to the chin that sent him streaming into the sky.
Impacts ripped through the Saiyan Elite's body following a strong right hand to the stomach. Hunching over he was punched across the right side of the face with the left jab. As the Elite recovered slightly his foe kneed him along the jaw snapping his flaming haired head to the side and twisting him away. Son Goku flickered for a moment before delivering a spinning knee kick that sent out a sickening crack upon meeting Vegeta's face, the force of which blasting the air around the Prince away before carrying him off with it.
Goku zinged after his rival and hammered an elbow into his stomach to double him over once more. Vegeta grit his teeth and tried for a measure of retribution with an ax fist that aimed for the orange donning warrior's head only to miss as he moved out of the way, knee crashing into the Saiyan Elite's chest. Retracting that the hero of Earth palmed the Prince in the face knocking him down into the void wildly. His blue eyes narrowed, and he gave chase in a tumbling spiral.
An indent sparked into the Saiyan Prince's face and he was sent screaming away. His rival appeared there and delivered another right handed strike that crashed into the opposite side of his head launching him backward toward the point. A blurry image of Son Goku caught the corner of his eye and came down with a flipping overhead soccer kick to the stomach that fired the flame haired Elite straight down, force exploding dozens of times out with sonic booms along the path.
The hero of Earth came shooting down after the Saiyan Prince right hand drawn back for a punch. He fired off that balled fist and found it blocked by the flame haired Saiyan Elite's open palm, the force distributing around the pair in a wispy white burst. The Saiyans smiled at the physical impasse and quickly separated in a phasing gesture, providing each with a few moments to regroup.
Their eyes met, and they took off at one another again. Their fists met in an explosive display that launched their frames skyward. They kicked off the air and charged together again, fists flying around in rapid succession. Snaps and cracks echoed as they punched and kicked their way around one another's defenses, neither landing anything solid. Both elite warriors were proving that title as the clashing stalemate continued through the void-like sky, flashes of heat burning brightly from the neutral punches.
Dodging a punch from his flame haired rival, Son Goku struck Vegeta cleanly across the jaw; a burst of force exploding from the Prince's frame after contact. The low-class Saiyan's right jab smashed Vegeta across the cheek hurling him across the sky partially. Vegeta's momentum came to a halt as he crashed into a left palm strike. A right palm followed that, drilling into the side of his head. Goku switched his hips and delivered a shin kick that launched Vegeta backward. Gritting, the Saiyan Prince recovered only to find a spinning forearm filling his view, which blasted into the Elite's cheek compressing it.
Suddenly, Vegeta's right hand swung out, finding its mark just beneath the Saiyan low-class' cheekbone. The Super Saiyan Four's head snapped to the side as spit and sweat were flung from his face. Winds blew as he stumbled several feet away, his eyes watering from the impact. Vegeta's gloved fist still sat in the position it had hit the fading Son Goku in, the Elite's eyes looking at the punch drunk Kakarot with a smile.
He charged swinging another fist in only to find it blocked and a boot planted into his stomach. Air escaped the Saiyan Elite as he was launched back by the force, his rival's features focusing on him.' Heh, you've done good getting this far Kakarot. But my body is still not willing to quit,' Vegeta smiled while he pulled to a stop the son of Bardock blurring forward to pursue him.
'I can feel my muscles telling me to stop. I need to keep pushing, to break through this wall, to put Vegeta down and stop the distortion in this timeline,' Goku grinned to himself continuing forward with his right hand balled.
That punch fired out into the Elite's swiping palm, a swath of force spreading out from the point of impact." Not bad Kakarot," Vegeta complimented through grit teeth, his tensed muscles shaking from defending the force.
"Yeah? I thought that was pretty good myself," Goku smiled scratching the back of his head while a white boot slashed toward his side.
He phased around that kick and through a punch in, meeting Vegeta's incoming fist as well. The Saiyans smile before engaging in another striking warrior, hammering on one another in a blurry series that made both seem invisible. Blasts of wind exploded out every second, growing more intense with each passing second, the flickering Saiyans within seemingly ramping up their offense to keep the other on the back foot.
This blurry clash ended with both warriors floating forearm to forearm, a bulging flash of white light igniting the void around them. Sweat and blood mixed as it ran down their faces, eyes stern and focused. Their teeth were bared and grinding together as discharge raced from the friction of their punches. It was like the two warriors were attempting to provoke another invisible exchange while not acting upon it.
That came without warning, their images fading from sight. Thunder echoed as they traded their punches, right hands meeting left guarding palms. They released before forging another clashing sound, their right shins meeting when they hammered knee strikes together Vegeta retracted his leg first and came in low leading with his right forearm. Goku using his height hammered down with his left forearm, sparking another explosive separation between the two. Streams of wind shot around them as they blitzed into oblivion once again.
'BOOM! CRASK! BROOSH!' echoes of conflict accompanied their brawl, frames flashing in still images across the entire battle field. Neither though seemed to have the advantage, and when it did look like that the next afterimage highlighted the defending Saiyan landing a blow on the leading one from the previous. They exploded apart a moment later, mouths agape trying to get breath.
Goku sucked one last breath and flew forward, trying a kick. Vegeta ducked it before swinging his palm into his blue haired opponent's face. The blow was impactful, but not enough to launch the Earth raised fighter. Goku used the stumbled from the palm strike to attempt drive the heel of his blue boot against the crown of the Saiyan Prince's head. Vegeta bowed under the impact of the blow, but he avoided the follow-up kick that attempted his jaw.
Earth's hero looked up from the afterimage, the Saiyan Prince's knee slamming into the center of his forehead. He was thrown back by the force of the knee lift and left wide open. Vegeta delivered a right handed jab that threw continued throwing Son Goku back. The Prince darted after his taller rival, his body speeding and catching up almost instantly. His left forearm hammered into Goku's jaw and his right fist collided with the orange donning warrior's stomach, unleashing two sonic booms while shooting him across the sky once more. Vegeta stopped his charge as the momentum dragged Goku away, hands resting on his hips trying to catch air.
In that moment Son Goku placed his index and middle fingers to his left brow, zipping away with Instant Transmission. His right fist hammered against Vegeta's raised forearm as the Elite's left hand reached into his defending palm. They split and kicked in tandem, the first Super Saiyan of this generation getting the upper hand and connecting first. Vegeta stuttered back, his footing unsure. Goku dashed in beginning a combination with a left jab.
Vegeta's head snapped to the side, his cheek shaking in the remnants of the blow. Goku followed by smashed down with his left hand bashing Vegeta's head down the other way. Spinning, he kicked out Vegeta's legs before punching the falling Saiyan in the jaw, stiffening him back up. Goku's right leg crashed into his left shoulder sending his stumbling to the right before she punched him once more across the face.
The blue haired Super Saiyan Prince's boots scraped back. He looked up and found a left hand striking him across the face once more, driving him away with his left leg hanging in the air. His teeth ground together for a moment before opening from a gagging right hand to the body. The blue donning Saiyan royal was doubled over, eyes shaking from the recurring force.
The Turtle School graduate twisted and kicked toward Vegeta's cheek, that collided driving the Saiyan Prince's entire upper body down with a shocking brunt of force. Then, his right leg kicked up, the toes of a blue boot smashing between his eyes. force echoed out as the Saiyan Elite wobbled backward. A roaring forearm followed drilling him in the collar, buckling his knees and nearly dropping Vegeta. Vegeta finished by delivering a double ax uppercut to the jaw shooting Vegeta skyward.
Goku's head dropped after the massive swing, the accumulated damage from his previous fights showing. His heavy breaths rattled from his mouth while Vegeta's launched frame pulled to a stop.' Huff, huh, man, Vegeta we've beaten each other senseless for a while now,' Goku huffed noticing Vegeta had no longer darted right for him, instead gathering some breath of his own.
Vegeta felt a knee strike him in the stomach. Then, a right hook to the face, the ground beneath him exploding and splitting rapidly. Goku flashed up and down in a zig-zag bouncing Vegeta along the ground. Xeno Goku grabbed the Saiyan Prince by the cheek and hurled him into the air, a spike of crimson light shooting through the sky until the possessed Saiyan Prince stopped in the atmosphere.
"I'll end it Vegeta!" Xeno Goku growled swinging his right and left hands around. Red light fanned out between his fingers, the sky darkening behind him as he started the shout." TIMES TEN KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAA!" he shouted hurling forth the pinnacle of his Super Saiyan Four might.
The possessed Saiyan Prince looked down with a smile on his face." T-that'll do Kakarot."
"All right Kakarot! Time to end this!" two huge spheres of crackling purple-blue energy exploded out to Vegeta's side. Rings of glowing golden-white energy pulsed from the spheres before jamming them together. Winds blew quickly around him as the possessed Son Goku tried to pull himself free from the entrapment." HAAAAAAA!" Vegeta's glowing golden-red aura exploded around him causing the spheres to glow.
"FINAL SHINING FLASH!" the beam tore off the surface of the planet swallowing the mountain and the blue haired Son Goku with it. The sky twisting and gnarling about in discharge and flashes of lightning.
"There it is, way to go Vegeta," Blue Goku smiled lowering his head.
Time Nest...
The pair of Saiyans returned with a smile on their faces, and blood drying upon their faces." There you go Supreme Kai of Time. We managed to fix the timeline for those guys. It definitely wasn't easy."
"You can say that again, any fight against you Kakarot can prove difficult," Xeno Vegeta smiled laughing.
Chronoa looked to them and nodded her head." Wow, that's a relief you two. Well, the others aren't quite as lucky, I'm sure they'll be fine."
"Well, I think they'll be able to do it," Goku scratched the back of his head.
"Now, if you excuse us, we need a Senzu Bean and a change of clothes."
Having bested the mightiest of Saiyans, the first timeline has been restored. While the others venture into the other distorted timelines, victory rests and resists. Next time we will see what some of them are up to.
Reviews:
R: I will admit, I'm really glad to hear that you do plan on re-touching the earlier parts of this arc, because while it has been absolutely amazing it has felt a bit fast. Now to refer to the chapter itself, I must admit seeing Rote vs Future Raditz due to Future Trunks having to handle the distortion while Future Raditz dies, with the way the situation was handled as Future Trunks being able to handle the actual distortion while Rote still gave Future Raditz the final fight and closure he needed was amazing and perfectly emotional. Thank you for that scene, I didn't realize how much I needed it but it was wonderful. The way the remaining time scrolls are being set up has me super interested in them all and I really enjoy that touch. Broly vs Kanba is still being extremely hype and destructive, though I do feel like I need to point out that the planet seems to randomly change from Metamor to Yardrat. Otherwise its been amazing. Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta facing off against Moro's Vegeta and Goku is going to be interesting, and I'm hyped for it! Another great chapter, thank you again!
A: Yeah, it's a been a really weird past few months for me. Those chapters are really bad, and I'm not going to act like this one is my finest work either. I'm just glad to be back and I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
Hey, sorry for the long waits folks. It's been a really, really weird few months for some reason and I just couldn't get the motivation to write this story amid the chaos. This chapter though was a really fun way of getting back into the swing of things. I'm not sure next chapter'll be up next week, but I'm hoping that it will be.
Thanks for reading as always and I'm sorry for the long wait. Stay good people,
