Destiny Shattered Gaiden: Time Scrambler? Uncle Tarble?
Time Patroller Saga: Part Seven
Earth...
Chiatzu was alone, or so he thought, while perusing through the empty halls of the Tenshin Dojo. It had been quiet without Tien, who had sacrificed his life mere days ago, but it felt so much longer. There was not much left for him to do but to look around. The students had all left when Tien did not come back. They needed to clear their heads about the situation they were informed of, which was feasible reaction.
He floated through the air quietly, not noticing the eyes from the shadows that followed him." I did it, Tien, I saved everyone I could, I just wish that you were one of them," Chiatzu spoke commonly into the air. Glass-like his eyes stared forward with each buzzing second, until...
'THRASK!' a blade's edge spun around and forced him to weave around the attack. His large eyes darted back at the swordsman, who brought the weapon down holding it within his hands.
"A Jiang-shii with that reaction speed? What world is this? What time is this?" he looked around confused a second sword swinging around from his side. Its edge gleaming while he turned to face the short being again.
"Time? The Age is 796, why do you ask?" Chiatzu winced looking at the swords.' If that were to hit me, I would have been in trouble,' the little doll-like being swallowed heavily, which formed a lump in his throat.
"Age 796? What am I doing here? When did that happen?"
Central City...
Gohan sat upon a bench, his green cardigan resting peacefully on his chest while he sipped from a cup of steaming coffee. His eyes from behind his glasses suddenly expanded.' What in the world is that? Where'd a ki as strong as Buu come from?' he looked around carefully, noting that no one was the wiser to this development. He took another sip from his coffee mug and sighed.
'Uh, let's see. Physics lecture, done. Feature presentation, done. Okay, meet and greet in an hour, that's more than enough time,' Gohan took another sip from his coffee cup while standing up.
"Professor Son! Would you sign this book for me?!" a young man shouted approaching. His hoodie bobbing as he approached book in hand.
"Wait, Professor Son is here!" another said spinning from the seat in the small food court.
"He is!" another smile rushing toward him.
"I couldn't get tickets; it'd be great if you could sign my book!" this first smiled as a crowd began to gather.
"Eh, well," Gohan sighed scratching the back of his head.' Dad, Vegeta, and Raditz should feel it. Then, there's Krillin, I don't want to leave it to those guys, but if I have to,' the half-Saiyan sighed placing his cup down on the bench." Well, I can't do this all day, I do have a meet and greet in an hour, but I can sign a few things for you guys," Goku's son smiled keeping the ki signature in mind.
Southern Archipelago...
A four by four, rolled along the fields, ranging the park as its driver was wanting to do. His denim jacket blowing in the wind while his black gloves carefully worked the steering wheel. His glassy ice blue eyes looked out over the field peacefully when his trajectory was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of a large ki. His right foot pressed down on the brake, but the vehicle was not going to slow down enough.
It crashed around this figure's raised hand folding up in a tin can, the driver leaping out before impact and floating into the air to stare down this figure carefully. The exploding care burst across the being's body doing little to conceal his build.
He stood six and half feet tall with a strange array of white tentacles growing from the top of his head, one on each side falling down like braids over his shoulders. His mostly gray skin was covered by a white breastplate with a blue gem in the center. A crimson sash hung over his charcoal trousers flapping in the breeze as he stared at the airborne cyborg. In his right hand, a scepter that stretched about four feet in length with tandem white knobs upon it.
"Okay, who are you and why did you do that?" Seventeen's tone was calm as he descended back to the ground. His blue eyes locked on those of his sudden stoppage.' I get a weird feeling from this guy, I don't know why,' the cyborg tensed as the figure began to approach.
"I've come to resolve a grievance I have with a being known as Majin Buu, but his energy signature is not here," the alien said calmly. His footsteps shifting against the ground while approaching Seventeen.
"What do you want with Uub?" the cyborg remarked tilting his head to the side.
A white knob blurred toward the Super Android's vision, as his foe seemed to skip to his side. Seventeen ducked around it, his right and left hands hitting the ground and providing a jumping off point. The strike missed him but the crack it let loose in the air was nearly deafening." Okay, then, you're not a good guy. Fine, it's only been a few days, but I could go for a fight. So long as we don't do it here," the cyborg sighed pocketing his hands after landing on his feet.
"You will regret sheltering someone like Buu," the alien shot forth." So, says Sealas the Just!"
East City...
A goliath roamed the streets in partial confusion, his bald head shining the sunlight back from it. He was armored heavily, though he revealed legs and arms seemed an obvious flaw. His furry tail was tied tightly around his waist, the smoldering crater he had floated from just outside of town still releasing black smoke into the air.
"Hey, Vegeta, do you think there are Dragon Balls here?" he asked pressing a button on his scouter. Floating above the ground.
There was no response.
"Vegeta? Why aren't you answering? I know we got split up, but you could at least turn on your scouter," the giant's tone grew harsh while he continued to press the button.
It was odd that one was getting in his way. They were all so weak, he could have probably knocked a few of them over dead by accident, but that was not the point.
"Vegeta! Hey, where are you?" the man groaned placing his hands on his hips. Stalling in the busy intersection of two streets.
"What are you this time, Nappa? Brought back from the dead? A construct made of Destron Gas?" Vegeta's tone rang through the air, his black boots touching down on the roof of an adjacent building.
"Wah! Vegeta there you are, where's your scouter? And why are you dressed like that?" the aged Saiyan stuttered as the light changed, cars beginning to whiz past in a hurry.
'Odd, his power is the same as it was that day, no different at all. The Destron Constructs at least had some form of power comparable to our own, and Nappa was stronger in Hell,' Vegeta hopped down from the rooftop." Get out of the street you oaf and get off this planet now. There's plenty of free real estate out there for you to claim with Frieza dead," the Saiyan Prince gestured calmly as Nappa walked through the cars to meet him on the sidewalk.
"What? Lord Frieza's dead? That's great Vegeta, but what about that turncoat Raditz and his brother Kakarot? We have to kill them too, y'know," Nappa snarled to the Saiyan Prince.
"They're both Super Saiyans. Nappa, you will not be able to kill them, just go," the Saiyan Prince reiterated with a calm stare walking beside the juggernaut back to where the ship had landed.
"But Vegeta!"
"No, buts Nappa, none whatsoever. Get off the Earth and go, it's clear to me that something very odd is happening here," Vegeta remarked cupping his chin.' Time travel? That's the only answer, isn't it? But Trunks is back in his future, and Nappa is not smart enough to make a Time Machine.'
"Like how you changed your clothes so fast, or how you know Kakarot and Raditz are Super Saiyans! That's ridiculous, you're a Saiyan Elite and you aren't one," Nappa snickered lowering his head and moving forward.
Vegeta chuckled at that." That's right, I wasn't one then. I am however a Super Saiyan now, Nappa."
"Oh, did you hit your head of something Vegeta? This is unlike you, letting all of these people live," Nappa squatted down shielding his mouth with his hand.
"They deserve to live, Nappa. Just like you do, so get out of here and head back to space. You still remember the real names of those planets Frieza had us conquer, don't you? Settle down on whichever you like, start a family," Vegeta remarked resting his hands in his pockets.
"Vegeta, this has to be an illusion," Nappa shook his head reaching out to touch the Saiyan Prince.
His hand made contact with Vegeta's hair and he recoiled." But, you're real! What in the world?! Are you sane, Vegeta. You changed your clothes, you don't have a scouter, and you think you're a Super Saiyan. this is weird?" Nappa jabbered out as they reached the space pod, he landed in.
"I'm sane, Nappa. It's just that times have passed you long by, go find any planet of your liking and settle down."
Nappa sat down in the cockpit of his vessel still confused." Hey, wait a second! Vegeta would never say that! This is a fake!" he bounded out from the cockpit toward the Saiyan Prince.
"Humph, reckless as you were that day, Nappa," Vegeta let out a breath and threw his hand out. Nappa's fist smashing into it with the force shaking the nearby trees." All right then, if I beat you into submission, you're free to go and lick your wounds. I am not the Vegeta you think I am, but I am still Prince Vegeta," Vegeta remarked pushing Nappa back.
"I don't buy it for a second!" Nappa howled rushing forward.
Age 774...
Bra touched down on a planet that she had never seen before. The city was futuristic, even by West City standards. Chrome wrapped pipes stretched between buildings where vehicles were whizzing by at impressive speeds. Each building was monolithic reaching high above the clouds with glass panes that seemed to reflect all the of sunlight that struck them.
For the first time she felt a bit odd walking around, knowing exactly what the distortion to time was.' Abo and Kado were just supposed to fly here and some Saiyan that managed to get shipped away from Planet Vegeta was supposed to run away to the Earth. But this timeline is different,' Bra thought continuing along her path until the ground shakes with the impact of two space pods.
'Because I'm going to have to fight these two to buy that Saiyan time,' she realized lowering her head.
Buildings around her are carved into by the ships, glass and debris showering down from above toward the hapless round headed aliens that were roaming below. her feet kicked off the ground instantly, a swell of golden power exploding from her core." Hey, you guys watch out!" she shouted before expanding her aura in an explosive wave. All of the descending debris met it and turned to helpless dust while the city was blinded by the glow of Super Saiyan light.
The strange white skinned aliens looked up to her." Ahh! Who are you? What are they?" one of the rounded alien's questioned pointing to the two smoldering craters sitting in the center of the city.
Bra scratched the back of her now fanning blonde haired head." I'm here to keep you all safe! Now, run along and hurry it up!" she shouted before shooting through the destroyed buildings to the point of impact.
As she landed a Saiyan where blue spandex and a white set of armor looked to her in confusion, the radiant golden glow around her body making her appear almost divine." Uh, my scouter's on the fritz!" the man shouted reaching and tapping a few buttons on the side of the scouter." If I didn't know any better though, I'd say you're stronger than Lord Frieza!" he muttered stumbling back as the two pressurized doors opened on the attack pods.
"You're not wrong there," she smiled confidently while turning to look at him. His spiky black hair and single bang reminding her a lot of Gohan when he got serious." You got the message too, right? The remnants of Frieza's forces heading to Earth? Hurry up and get going," Bra grunted trying to keep the timeline in check while two figures emerged from the pods.
Their eyes flashed with a dark energy. Hatred billowing from their bodies in a dark aura that Bra had felt only once before among the Demon Realm forces.' That's the distortion all right, let's hope I can take them on,' she winced balling her fists keeping her Super Saiyan aura going.
The Saiyan stumbled back." That's Abo and Kado! They're supposed to be as strong as Lord Frieza too! You can't beat both of them, come on we have to run!" he gulped turning back in a hurry.
"You run; I'll hold them off. Didn't I just tell you that?" she growled lowly while her white gloves balled tightly. Golden light rippled through her red miniskirt while her blue-and-white top waved about.
The Saiyan stumbled back and gulped." I haven't been yelled at like that in some time, I just remember it from my older brother Vegeta mostly," he said nervously while stuttering.
"Older brother Vegeta?" Bra looked back as the two aliens clicked a button on their scouters.
"Yes, he's the one I going to talk to on Earth. He's the Super Saiyan that beat Frieza!" the Saiyan explained hurriedly while backing away.
"Wait, does that mean, you're Tarble?" the daughter of the Saiyan Prince questioned, unknowing of Abo and Kado nodding to one another.
"Prince Tarble, the third, of Planet Vegeta. I appreciate you recognizing, I'm not much of a fighter you see," Tarble explained, unbeknownst to his niece.
'Seriously dad? You tell me about an uncle Tarble, and you forget to tell me he's still alive? I'm going to have a stern talking to with you when I get back to our timeline,' Bra mused mentally shaking the stun from her eyes.
Tarble went to say something before Abo and Kado came rocketing forward." Hey, miss! Watch out!" Vegeta's sibling roared.
"Wha-" Bra managed as the blue and red blurs came soaring at Bra simultaneously.
Winds blasted out from their point of impact with the half-Saiyan's body. Dust splashed into the air in a vortex that sent Tarble streaming from the ground with his arms crossed. Glass along the buildings rumbled and ruptured while several of the struggling buildings fell in upon themselves. Thus, was the might of these two, and the sheer suddenness of their tandem offensive.
'BWOOM!' the side of the building was torn up by her body as she was clubbed upward by a tandem punch from the duo. Their bodies crackling with dark energy as they sparked into the air above her and delivered a pair of tandem thrust kicks to the stomach. A wad of spit came shooting from their mouth and she smashed against the building's outside. It crumbled and she quickly found her way inside stumbling along the lofty office floor before shooting out the other side in a plume of glass and dusty debris.
"Miss!" Tarble shouted his right hand filling with a sphere of blue energy.' Why are you doing this Tarble? You're a weakling,' he swallowed as the sphere of ki began to shake." You two take this!" he threw the orb into the air after the pair of aliens, both of whom turned to stare down the incoming attack with glee, believing their foe had been dealt with swiftly and easily.
"Haha," Abo laughed before backhanding the attack into nothingness. Their power gap was far too large for a simple energy attack to even prove threatening." Is that all? We'll hand this planet then we'll be heading to the Earth," his right hand rose, a sphere of red energy appearing in front of the palm. Shadow miasma spilling down from his forearm to increase the power of the attack.
"I agree, brother," Kado snickered leaning to the side and opening his hand. A matching blue sphere appearing to aim down at the stunned Tarble.
'N-no, not this planet!' Tarble huffed balling his fists, twin tails of golden energy spinning from his back. They sparked into a full aura of a blinding golden-yellow luster, the dust at his feet beginning to stir." I'm not going to let you! HAAA!" Tarble closed his eyes and shouted throwing his right hand forward, a beam of blue light escaping his palm.
"What?" both said in unison as the brother of Prince Vegeta, felt the beam grow far stronger. Heat licked against his skin while the beam's sound carved between the cloud. Having rent the atmosphere, it carried out into space with Abo and Kado flanking out to either side. Their skin bearing faint trails of steam where nervous sweat had been caught.
"D-did I do that?" Tarble asked opening his eyes hesitantly. What he saw was another white glove positioned beside his own. Trailing down the arms he found the Capsule Corps shirt and red skirt of the mystery woman. Her right hand poised beside his with a stream of smoke running from the palm into the air with a vaporous sizzle.
"Oh, that makes sense it was you miss. Your power level, it has to be huge," Tarble mentioned to his niece with a surprised stare.
"Look get to the Earth and warn your brother, okay? I'm sure they'll be close on your tail because I'm not their target. But you'll at least find Vegeta," Bra snickered balling her fists as the pair looking down at her.
"Right, thank you! Gure was right telling me to run," Tarble lowered his head and began to hurry away with Abo and Cado shooting down after him.
Bra's golden aura flashed in the way, her arms spreading to the side to stop the pair from charging forward. Her stark blue-green eyes narrow on them whilst Super Saiyan hair billowed in the wind." Sorry, not today. You're not going to kill him," Bra shouted flexing her aura. It rattled the nearby buildings and sent the brothers stumbling backward.
"But we will after we kill you!" they shouted rushing her again with their right and left hands balled together.
This combining of their arms proved quite useless as Bra delivered a kick to their connected hands. They split apart and fell to the side rolling quickly in unison to square up on either side of her with curious glances. Then, they glowed blue and red respectively. From their bodies five clones of each spread out forming a large circle that left Bra in the center.
Then, they all charged her simultaneously, twelve on one. bra weaved through a punch from a cloned Abo only to block a kick from Kado. She booted the Kado clone away and an Abo came from behind with an ax fist. She pivoted on her heels and blocked the punch with a swift raising palm strike. Her knee fired out to the side blocking a short legged kick in the next second. Wind whipped across her attire as she pushed those four clones away and ducked under yet another. her blue eyes darted to the right side and she pushed the charging clone aside.
Abo's knee smashed into her kidneys though among that dodge throwing her straight ahead. A Kado punched her across the face launching her to another Kado. Her shirt was balled upon around a grasping hand while the clone's free left hand dug deep into her stomach. Spit flew from her mouth as she was released. Three Abo's rushed in striking away. They boxed her ears and delivered a thrust kick to the stomach that folded her over and sent her shooting down the street.
Vegeta's daughter bounced among the concrete for several dozen feet before bouncing up to her boots. Gravel and asphalt went flying as her back shattered one of the glassy transportation tubes. Vehicles whizzed by the half-Saiyan Super Saiyan while she balled her fists, the dozen foes flying at her all in one motion with a fierce glare and murderous intent. The genius daughter of Earth's smartest woman then smiled.
Her left foot cratered the ground as she lowered to it, lightning coiling down her leg in the process. As the dozen foes piled into the tunnel, she vanished. A whirlwind traced in lightning sung across the sky as all dozen were suddenly thrusted through the glass tunnel in varying states of confusion. They tumbled and toppled through the roughage that was scattered by their previous flurries before being struck down by an invisible foe. Bra appeared in the spot she started the combat in, her right hand extended into the stomach of Abo while her left hand was pinning Kado to the ground.
Coils of lightning traced along her body, cones of force escaping from their backs simultaneously. they were shot across the city and their duplicates turned to puffs of smoke. Bra's spiking golden hair falling back to more relaxed spikes as they crashed and burned along the concrete that had begun to crack." Having a higher level to go to hardly made this a fair fight, but this was never a fair fight to begin with," Bra snickered approaching them as they stood up.
Two spheres of red blue light crossed the sky aiming directly toward the half-Saiyan. Bra's eyes darted back and forth in Super Saiyan Two and the two spheres crashed into her location. A crackling purple explosion rocked upward. Rings of purple energy shooting high into the air. Glass and concrete shuddered before splitting and being blown down the streets.
"Nish, nish, foolish little girl. You and we can agree on that," Abo and Kado said together folding their arms over their chest while leering down the street at the convergence of their energy blasts.
Then, two white gloves appeared on their right and left side respectively. A thunderclap followed as their skulls were clonked together with a deafening boom of force. Dust showered through the streets blowing over hapless members of the Tech-Tech race trying to escape. Kado and Abo stumbled from the blow falling to their knees with hands clutching at the ground. Their eyes wobbling as black dots hastily swam through their eyes.
"But only one of us knows the right answer, me," Bra flickered in front of both of them, her hands grabbing their armor by the chest protector straps. She shot into the air like a golden rocket, dangling them from her grasp thousands of feet above the ground below.
"Geh," they growled in unison looking at the fierce Super Saiyan Two glow in her eyes. The righteous fury that came with the form pulsating out like a beacon of hope that transcended either of them.
"Now, you're going to follow Tarble back to the Earth and meet up with your other goons, do you understand that?" Bra growled looking at them fiercely." Because if you don't get going now, I'll just have to turn both of you into the tiniest pieces of space dust this side of the North Galaxy," she continued her features showing more and more of her father as she looked down at them.
"V-Very well," they grunted together, teeth chattering in the fear that had sparked in their hearts.
"Good, now get into your ships and go," Bra shot down to their landing sight, her boots crunching into the sides of the crater. They were awed by the speed, as anyone with Frieza's power would in the presence of one that could beat Cell. The half-Saiyan's fierce glare and determined eyes burned into their memory while she let them go.
"Sorbet, Tagoma, we'll meet up with you in transit. The Saiyan managed to run away," Abo said into his scouter, to the two allies that would meet up to try and conquer Earth.
"Yes, we know," Kado replied having gotten an answer back.
Hastily, they scrambled into the ships, taking off mere seconds later fearing from the Super Saiyan Two's mere presence.
"Hehe, and that's that. Time to head back to the Time Nest," Bra smiled as gear-like lights danced around her carrying her back.
The Time Nest...
Bra emerged in the center of the Time Nest's floor with a content smile on her face." All right that's done Supreme Kai of Time," Vegeta's daughter said with a smile while stretching.
"Huh? I'm the first one back? What's everyone else up to?" Bra realized noticing Chronoa and Trunks overlooking the Scroll of Time.
"They aren't having as much fortune as you have," Time Patroller Trunks said looking to the scroll.
"That's not a good sign," Bra rushed over to look at the first stretched out Scroll of Time.
Age 784...
"Liar! My ki is larger than yours!" she shouted frustrated. It was obvious that she indeed was still a child in some mental faculties.
"I can prove it," he snickered. It felt weird to Goku that he had to act this way towards his granddaughter, but it was probably the only way he could snap her out of it.
"You know what this is called: Super Saiyan Two. Do you think I can push this power even further beyond?" he asked head cocked to the side voice still serious. His eyes glowed as the aura around him tightened almost to just a few inches away from his skin." I could simply increase my output in this form to grow stronger but that would weigh me down. This is the power beyond...!" the light exploded out in sheer white.
"What?" Time Breaker Pan covered her eyes, the sounds of the Super Saiyan energy sparking and expanding ringing in her ears.
'Wait, so the me here got taken over by Demigra? What's the change then? He's just going to transform into Super Saiyan Three and beat me, right?' Pan asked from high in the air having watched the fight between this time-manipulated version of herself and Son Goku.
"HAAAAAAAA-AHHHHHH!" Goku's words were streaming out a long tear of noise that shook the planet as his hair grew slightly longer and his golden aura slightly wilder. The ground of the mountain began to shake and the trees way off in the distance were being stripped of their leaves, this was something of incredible fortune and power.
The real Pan folded her arms over his face. Winds churning by and shaking the mountains around her, blasts of force crackling through the sky.' Haha, grandpa's power has always been crazy. It's hard to think that anyone can catch up to him at all,' Pan laughed feeling the rising ki.
They continued on for several seconds with the Saiyan's hair extending longer and long down to his knees in length. His aura grew more fire-like and erratic with long coils of biol-electricity wrapping around it in a long series before crackling away. His features more defined and sterner, of course his eyebrows were gone as well. Light bubbled from his skin almost as if the skin itself was radiating it.
"This is the power I was referring to Pan. This is what is called Super Saiyan Three," his voice had grown deeper and slightly more harsh. Each word carrier a massive punch to it as well, that tore away at the air around them both.
'THUD!' Son Goku's blue pupils suddenly hollowed out. A black-purple glow rushing from his chest. His knees buckled and his mouth opened with a confusing gasp. His long blonde hair lost its color and he dropped to his knees with a grunt. His golden aura flickering away while he held his chest. Damage appearing on his skin that had not been there mere minutes prior.
'Gah, what's going on? My body feels so heavy, and where did all of this damage come from?' he complained clutching at his chest.
The Time Breaker Pan smiled. her right and elf hands cupped at her side, a starburst of blue light spinning from within." KAMEHAMEHA!" she hurled her hands forward. The grass before the blast was turned to dust and dirt was dug into. Goku looked up at the blue beam while trying to stand, pain wracking his body for no reason.
"Damn it!" he folded his arms over his chest. Until, a black gloved hand rested on his shoulder. An index and middle finger being placed to a forehead the moment before contact before disappearing.
'Zip!' they appeared off to the side of the beam's path. The black leggings of the quarter Saiyan bearing faint burns from being so close to the beam. Her orange skirt flapping in the wind, her blue shirt flapping into the wind.
'Wait, did I just use Instant Transmission? I don't know how to use Instant Transmission,' Pan pondered while the downed Saiyan to her side struggled to a base.
"Gah, who did that? I thought I was a goner," Son Goku smiled resting his right and left hands against the ground. He huffed looking upward toward the female Saiyan that was beside him.
"I did Grandpa, don't worry," Pan smiled balling her fists. Her black hair blowing in the wind while she looked at her Time Breaker counterpart with a snicker.' This me is way stronger than I am. I can't believe it up close, is that what my real Super Saiyan Two power feels like?' Gohan's daughter asked feeling the ki of her Demigra created visage.
"Another Pan? At least you have a good ki this time, and you're older too," Son Goku laughed his eyes still dulled from whatever happened to him." I was just about to beat that other you, but from the looks of things Demigra did a number on me," the son of Bardock apologized to his granddaughter with a sigh. His eyes leery and shaking with the temporal distortion.
Pan nodded as her duplicate looked at her angrily." Tell me about it. This me is supposed to be pushed to the pinnacle of her powers, right? Can I beat her?" the daughter of Son Gohan asked as her aged up copy came streaming forth with a fist drawn back.
Son Goku looked to her for a moment. His eyes steady and firm while a smile crossed his face." Everyone else is busy getting things done. I'm beat, so it looks like you'll have to Pan, if she's really you then you know her weaknesses better than anyone," he gave a thumb's up with a smile.
Pan's head lowered as the other Pan came swinging in with a right hand. Golden fire raged through her hanging black hair causing it to shoot out to the sides into long strands that took on a flaming yellow hue. Discharge surged up from her feet and danced through her aura before surging up past her hair in the inferno of golden energy. Her greenish eyes then opened as the fist came forward.
Her gloved left hand ripped out freely, her hips switching. The punch intended for her face met the palm instead. Super Saiyan Two ki sparking from both of them as the ground shuddered." Thanks grandpa, that's all I needed to hear!" Pan smiled kicking at the Time Breaker's stomach.
The kick went wide, her duplicate splitting free. This red donning Pan took a step right before blitzing from the left with a fist readied. It came shooting in and an expert palm strike to the elbow knocked it aside. Pan rotated in toward her possessed altered self. That though was ducked under and a knee was jammed toward her exposed side. An expert hip switch made the knee shoot wide and led the attacking Pan into a back fist. The Time Breaker weaseled under it and streamed to the side avoiding the collision.
"Hup!" Pan growled hopping over a sudden leg sweep while thrusting her right leg out. The Time Breaker caught it around the ankle, heels digging into the Earth.
"Oh please, is that really it?" the evil Pan snickered while hurling her alternate self across the sky.
Pan looped through the air and crashed against the side of the mountain. Dust fanned out as she cratered the formation, trees and other debris being hurled back through the air. The other Pan zigged in and punched her in the chin. The orange donning daughter of Gohan rocketed up the mountainside with no resistance. Trees being uprooted along the way. The debris filled air charging at the other Pan appeared overhead.
The Time Breaker struck down with a left handed punch to the face. Pan's mouth opened to release a stream of spit as she was rocketed toward the ground. Her shoulder struck first and a pillar of wind erupted. Dust swirled in this pillar before being discarded by a descending knee strike. A cracking sound followed with the Time Breaker lingered over her duplicate, knee deep in her chest.
Pan was grabbed around the throat by her duplicate and pulled free from the ground." No matter if the Supreme Kai of Time sent you back here or not, you're nothing to Demigra, nothing to me. Just call it quits and give up!" a yellow bolt of energy was thrust into her stomach. It streamed out like a starburst before hurling her through the air with no resistance.
Her golden haired head struck the ground, and then her back did, another skip impacted her side. She slid to a stop after several similar bumps landing against the ground with her arms folded off to one side. Her green eyes looked up to find the duplicate sauntering over with right and left hands cupped at her side. The swagger in each footstep from having such superior power.
"Pan!" Son Goku growled rising to his feet. Thunder boomed from his chest; the affliction wrought by Mechikabura's temporal distortion evident. sweat beading down his face though he pressed forward." Your fight is with me remember!" he hurled an insult before dropping to his knees. His hands dropping to the ground while he began huffing heavily.
"I'll get back to you grandpa. We were told to destroy the Time Patrol, so let me get to that first!" her cupped hands began to shed streamers of blue light. Nebulous winds dancing around as she approached the downed daughter of Gohan.
Pan ground her teeth together.' Come on, am I really that outclassed? After everything this me is still stronger than I am? Why?' she grunted as spots began to flood her vision. Her muscles aching from the brief exchange with her alternate self. The precision of the blows was unlike anything she had been taught; it was honestly like this version was her superior version. Demigra's Dark Magic was no lie.
The Time Breaker booted Pan in the side. the force tore a chunk from the Earth and launched the hybrid Saiyan through the air. She crashed down onto her back and rolled before being crushed by the elevated portion of Earth. It was nothing to add to the pain, just to keep her pinned down. Her fading consciousness did not lend itself to much, but reaction pushed the stone free only to leave her prone.
"You're honestly trash. I should be glad Master Demigra made me this way. That way, I wouldn't end up as pathetic as you. I bet you've never won a fight on your own have you. While I've already beaten grandpa, and now I'm going to beat you too," a foot stomp to the stomach cratered the ground. Pan's body lurched up with a gasp for air that was never answered.
"Gaah!" she screamed before falling limply. Her green eyes blurring as she looked up at this duplicate.' She didn't even work up a sweat, But I've trained as hard as everyone else, this me is just something way beyond what I can do as a Super Saiyan Two. I'm sorry everyone,' she winced while her vision began to black out.
"I'm glad that I'll never have to live to be like you. Because with this I am the pinnacle of power," her hands parted the charging blue ki that spreading into a massive sphere." Farewell, Time Patroller," she grinned removing her foot and pushing the beam forth, in the same moment Pan's golden hair faded to black.
"PAAAAN!" Son Goku roared, his body exploding into Super Saiyan. The pain he was experiencing fading away as he darted toward the Time Breaker Pan, hand drawn back.
He was too slow though. The planet bore a blue star for a moment that could be seen from outer space. Its power enough to hurl the orange donning hero of Earth backward. His back striking the ground as the pillar expanded out into the sky above. The effigy of Time Breaking within looming like a dark shadow as the rocks and debris from the ground rose into the air fading into ash. Her target doing the same.
The light spread outward and upward for several parts of a second before streaming away. Dazzling blue-white particles of light beaming into the sky all the while the Time Breaker stood triumphantly. Her hands pointing down into the crater with sheer joy present on her face. The smile continued to grow as she stepped from the sole point on the ground that remained standing, eyes leering toward Goku.
"Oh, come on grandpa, don't you wanna play with your granddaughter some more? Aren't you going to show me what it means to go even further beyond?" she approached Son Goku, his heavy breathes escaping from a Super Saiyan mouth. His hand resting on his pained chest.
A silver wreathed fist suddenly hammered into her face whilst she approached him. The ground splint and a dozen more impacts followed as the Time Patroller left the ground. Her frame being pinned against the mountain a moment later by a lance of silver slight. Son Goku, as he was then, could not follow anything that had happened. Pan was there one moment and pinned to the mountain the next.
Then, dazzling streams of white dots phased in front of his face, a strange blue-gray smoke surging there. then, thew mountain crumbled, a cave forming where the Time Breaker had landed. Impacts busted out the other side before a stream of silver launched straight into the air with the duplicate in tow. Sparkling light surged from all angles in that moment.
The Time Breaker's body struck the ground in front of Son Goku before being kicked into the air by this invisible force and then beaten down into the ground. A stream of silver-blue surged over the Time Breaker's body before exploding over the horizon. Lighting it a brilliant azure before fading away.
"What?" the Time Breaker processed the first attack of what one could assume was dozens, while looking at the sky. A faint shimmering glimpse appearing there, a shadow that she had killed.
Righteous silver eyes looked down. Everything went black for the Time Breaker.
"Wait, what just happened?" Son Goku looked on in confusion. The pain in his chest fading away instantly allowing him access to a vertical position yet again.
Off to the side Pan stumbled falling to her side, steam pouring from her body." Pan!" he teleported over to her. Coils of gear-like energy surrounded her in that moment, and she disappeared. Leaving him with plenty of questions, but at the moment things were getting crazy elsewhere and the other Pan needed to be attended too.
"Whatever that was only knocked you for now. We're going to have to find a way to turn you back though," he powered down and draped her across his arms, the red cloth and armor stiff against his musculature. With a kick he flew off towards home where he could keep the girl safe and out of harm's way.
'Demigra, you did all of this. The second Pan, this Pan, you caused both of them so much pain. I'm going to make you pay,' he growled as they made it home quickly. In his arms the Time Breaker was helpless to do much of anything, she was completely overwhelmed and fatigued it was clear she really only had the stamina of her six year old true form.
He laid her on the couch that was in the family room and smiled before heading out the door. His skintight blue undershirt and orange tunic whipped in the incoming breeze that cut coldly through the house, but he knew that this was still far from over. The Earth raised Saiyan closed the door behind him and flew off searching for another battle he could aid in.
Time Nest...
Pan appeared limply on the floor, her body releasing heat and steam in a hurried manner." W-what happened?" Bra rushed over from the table to her friend's side. She could not see what happened at the end either.
Chronoa looked to Pan with a gob smacked stare, her hands resting on her hips." Looks like somehow Pan managed to win. That's a relief, if Mechikabura managed to give power to the Demigra from that timeline things would end pretty poorly," the Goddess of Time explained walking over while Bra tried to support her friend's head.
"Geez, you're burning up. I can't believe it though, whatever you did I couldn't even see you move," Vegeta's daughter laughed while Pan's eyes remained drained and closed.
Time Patrol Trunks looked to the other Scrolls of Time on the table, only three remained now.' Maybe it is for the best Bra couldn't follow that. Had I not seen it, I wouldn't have believed it,' the son of Vegeta noted mentally.' Now, though, it is up to you three. I hope you can handle what is affecting those timelines.'
Somewhere/When...
Shallot hammered home a right hand into Giblet's core doubling his brother over." Come on Giblet, call it quits all right? You're not going to win this," Shallot shouted throwing an elbow into his twin's stomach. Giblet hunched over spewing a stream of spit from his mouth. His right elbow pulled away. His left leg being brought around for a solid kick to the head.
It however was dodged, Giblet's right and left arms reaching up and around Shallot's head in a grapple." We can agree on that Shallot, so listen and listen closely. With Ozotto on his own and thinking both of us are out of our element fighting each other he'll have his guard dropped. Your two buddies up and vanished which means that there's another way to the Universe Seed, which means we don't need this guy," Giblet spoke quickly and harshly into his brother's ear.
Shallot delivered an elbow into Giblet's side releasing the hold. A spinning kick to the stomach doubled the warrior over while a knee strike pumped into his chin." Yeah so?" Shallot threw a punch that was easily caught by his brother's pale glove.
"I think that means we beat Ozotto, and then find a way to get to the Universe Seed. If Ozotto knew one he would have went the moment, those two disappeared," Giblet threw the fist back and delivered a knee strike." You're going to need to transform into Super Saiyan though because I still don't know if what he is showing now is his real strength or not," the Saiyan in Red sighed while elbowing Shallot in the face.
"Super Saiyan? You okay Giblet? What's a Super Saiyan?" Shallot asked kneeing Giblet in the core.
The red donning Saiyan slid back his face showing honest surprise." Please tell me you're joking; you don't remember how to go Super Saiyan?" the black haired warrior grunted feeling the impact on his core.
"No, should I?" came the one in blue's reply as he brought his leg around.
"It's like putting on a glove, how could you forget, damn it," Giblet's fist hammered into Shallot's chin.
Shallot floated away pulling to a stop." All right then, change of plans. We're going to have to go at him with everything we can in our base forms and use the time we have to get away and try to jog those foggy memories of yours!" a barrage of golden energy bullets showered free from Giblet's hands.
Shallot swiped his right and left arm out to the side directing each blast down toward Ozotto, who was in perfect position. Explosions lined the landscape and consumed Ozotto in a stream of smoke and light." That's a start Shallot, how you better get ready, because I don't think he'll go down to something as simple as that," Giblet tensed balling his fists.
Somewhere/When...
Hearts looked puzzled at the sky, several rainbow hued rifts appearing there. His brown boots struck against the grass while he continued to ponder." It appears that the wayward energies of the Universe Seed are beginning to draw further people from outside of time to this Universe. It is clearly trying to defend itself from me and my goals having been so close but far away," the Core Person sighed placing his hands behind his back.
"Then, what is the plan Hearts?" Lagss asked looking to the pale skinned man whilst he continued walking along.
He looked to her and cracked a smile." It is to retrieve the Universe Seed of course, that will never change. The ability to become a God beyond Gods is something that I desire nothing more of. It will grant you what you wish for and these mortals freedom from their shackles of constant fear of erasure by some unknowable deity. No matter how many die that oppose me, an even greater amount will feel liberation," Hearts replied balling his fists.
Lagss' body began to crackle and glow with a rainbow hued light in that moment. Her eyes broadening with a golden flash that filled the entire space with a growing billow of light.
Hearts took immediate notice while cracking a smile.' I see. Is that what it was, a Primordial will only function as the key so long as they are made for the lock?' Hearts pondered carefully, his right hand cupping his chin." Did my conviction awaken something within you Lagss?" he asked.
She looked down to her hands, which coursed with this awakened energy." It would seem that way, Hearts. My body feels different, and I remember so much more about Planet Elysia and how to access it," she cracked a smile looking to the Core Person.
"I doubt it will be as easy as entering the way that we initially intended," Hearts looked to her.
"You would be correct; the true entrance is one that will take time to get to and through."
"Then, there is no time like the present to begin," Hearts smiled beginning to walk forward." Lead the way Lagss."
Time seems to be unraveling at an alarming rate whilst our heroes interact with people from different times and places yet again. As the Time Patrol reclaims time from the last of Mechikabura's powers Hearts finds a new way to the Universe Seed. What is going to happen next? Find out on the next exciting chapter of Destiny Shattered Gaiden...

R: Now that was an amazing fight. It's was a great battle, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta vs Blue Goku and Blue Vegeta was awesome. I can't wait to see other distortions the others must face. Will Broly be able to beat Kanba?
A: Glad you enjoyed it. We're going to have to wait and see the result of Broly and Kanba.
Thanks for tuning back in and sticking with me during this weird period in this story's life cycle. I don't know why but I can't seem to find the same groove I was usually in when writing it. I'm getting that feeling back, but it's quite clear that I have some serious work to do.
Honestly, until the next chapter goes up, stay safe and be good people,

Planet Metamor...
Cheelai and Lemo steadied themselves while the planet shook.
"Gahaha! This is Vampa all over again," the aged orange alien shouted trying to keep balance on his chair. His gloves digging into the seat proving how desperate his attempt truly was.
Cheelai nodded his head." I know, I know, but what other choice do we have? We said we'd stick by Broly no matter what. We got everyone out of the way for him to go all out, now all he has to do is find the opening," the green alien female replied adjusting something on the central console. Her pink-purple eyes darting back and forth while she typed something in.
"If that's the case what are you doing now?" Lemo asked bouncing his shaking chair over to where Cheelai was.
"You remember what those folks from Earth said?" the white haired woman asked continuing to tap away at the keyboard.
"You mean about Broly, they could reach us if his energy was nearby?" Lemo inquired looking to her.
"Yep, that's exactly it, right now Broly's going pretty good as a Super Saiyan. If things keep going this route, that monstrous Saiyan he's fighting is going to have to deal with those Saiyans from Earth. There's no need to worry," she gave an okay sign with her hand.
That was until Broly's body came slamming through their watchtower. Technology went flying as did a rain of sparks, the Super Saiyan's frame cratering the wall while his arms fell to the side. His blue green eyes narrowed as his foe floated opposite with a Super Saiyan linger, a dark tendril of ki stretching from behind to attempt and grab the Vampa raised Saiyan.
"Cheelai, Lemo, run!" Broly dashed forth toward this attack. His forearm knocking the dark claw away while his left hand hammered into Kanba's face. The tower's roof blew off and Cheelai and Lemo barely kept themselves attached to their chair.
The tarmac below was torn up by this blow as Kanba was struck down against it with a grinding motion." Super Saiyan God, I haven't even started yet! You're pathetic!" Kanba sneered until Broly's fist battered him across the face. His heavy boots left the ground and a thunderous boom followed as he was sent through the air.
"I haven't gotten serious yet either!" green light flashed on either side of the airborne Kanba, boxing him in and causing a massive explosion.
Earth, Mount Pouzu...
"Woah, something crazy is going on out there Raditz," Goku mentioned placing his index and middle fingers to his brow.
"You can feel it too, Broly."
"Yeah, he's getting pretty serious. Maybe I should go check it out."
"That'd be a wise idea Kakarot, this other energy he's facing...It's rising again," Raditz added placing a hand on his brother's shoulder. The casual Earth clothing he was wearing certain to be reduced to ribbons by the end of it.
"I know, and with all of this other craziness going on too. All right let's go Raditz."
'Zip!' they vanished with Instant Transmission.
