Chapter 13: Power beyond the Gods. A nightmare's end.
Goku in Ultra Instinct, faced Zamasu. Natsu was still unconscious. Zamasu was still in awe of Goku's new form. Erza and the others arrived to see what was happening. Goku then turned to them.
Goku: "Get Natsu out of here. I'm finishing this fight." Laxus grabbed Natsu's body and carried him on his shoulder.
Sting: "You sure you don't need help?"
Goku nodded and turned back to Zamasu.
Erza: "Make him pay, Goku."
Gildarts: "We're all depending on you."
They all left to a safe location. Leaving Goku and Zamasu alone. Zamasu went from being surprised to angry.
Zamasu: "You, a lowly mortal obtaining a state that even deities can not obtain. This can not be happening."
Goku then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His body was soon surrounded by a pillar of light. The pillar blew away all of the dark clouds and sunlight began shining on Magnolia. Goku then stepped out of the pillar of light and had a new appearance.
His hair had turned silver in color and became wilder. His shirt was completely torn off, revealing his muscles. Zamasu took a couple steps back as Goku walked closer to him.
Zamasu: "This is impossible. A mere mortal, mastering that state?" Before Zamasu could say anything else, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Goku had punched him in the gut. He punched him so hard, it sent Zamasu flying through several buildings and many feet away.
Zamasu flew back up in the sky, angry. Zamasu: "You may have attained Ultra Instinct, but you're still just a mortal." Zamasu looked for Goku but couldn't find him. Goku had suddenly appeared behind him and before the evil god realized that, Goku kicked him, hard to the ground. Zamasu's impact on the ground caused it to collapse in on itself and buried Zamasu.
Zamasu began to dig through the ground, hoping for a surprise attack on Goku. However, Goku knew exactly where Zamasu would come back up. As soon as Zamasu came out behind, Goku fired an energy blast at him. Zamasu blocked the attack but still took some major damage. Zamasu began to snarl. Goku turned around and faced him again.
Meanwhile, back with Natsu's group…
At the edge of town, Makarov and the rest of Fairy Tail came to meet up with Natsu and others. Laxus put Natsu down, Lucy immediately ran to his side before asking what happened. They all heard an explosion in the background, they all saw Goku fighting Zamasu in an aerial battle.
Cana: "What's going on? Isn't that Black?"
Gildarts: "No sweetheart, it's not."
Rogue: "It's a long story."
Gajeel: "Short version, that guy who looks like Black with the silver hair is the only one who can defeat Zamasu."
Levy: "So, that green guy is Zamasu?"
Wendy: "He looks scary."
Lucy: "But, why is Natsu low on magic power?"
Natsu then opened his eyes. They all turned to him. Natsu held his hand to his head. He had a major headache. Lucy then hugged him.
Lucy: "Thank goodness you're ok."
Natsu: "That fusion gives you one hell of a hangover. Where's Goku? Is he ok?"
Lucy: "Who's Goku?"
Natsu: "The guy fighting Zamasu right now."
Erza: "We'll explain everything. It's like this."
Back to the battle…
Zamasu was trying so hard to punch Goku but Goku kept dodging them with ease. Zamasu tried one last punch. However, Goku grabbed it and pulled him in, hitting Zamasu's face with his elbow. Zamasu crashed into another building.
The impact caused the building to collapse on top of Zamasu. Goku landed on the ground, in front of the building rubble. The rubble was suddenly blown away by Zamasu. Zamasu was panting heavily and came to his knees in exhaustion.
Zamasu: "My utopia, my justice, my ideals. They can't end here. Not like this!" Zamasu got back on his feet. Zamasu then tried one last attack. He created two Holy wrath attacks in both hands then he put them together. Sun-like ball of energy got bigger and bigger. Zamasu began to laugh evilly as he held the ball with both hands.
Zamasu: "Let's see if you can handle this, Holy Wrath: Purification." He then fired it at Goku. Goku then took his Kamehameha position.
Goku: "This is my most powerful, Ka...Me...Ha...Me...HAAAAAAAAAAA!" The two attacks then collided, creating a shockwave that wiped out what remaining buildings that were still standing. The wizards watched with anticipation.
Zamasu's attack grew bigger and bigger. Goku however was channeling his anger into his attack. He began having flashbacks of all the people he killed while Zamasu possessed his body. He then poured more power into his Kamehameha. Zamasu's attack was soon shattered and the Kamehameha wave came right at Zamasu. The wave then consumed Zamasu.
Zamasu began to scream in pain as Goku yelled: "THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER!"
Zamasu: "NO, IT CAN'T END THIS WAY!" Zamasu's body was then completely disintegrated. Goku then diverted his attack to the sky. It soon disappeared out of sight. Goku's Ultra Instinct died down as he took a seat on some rubble. He was exhausted. He then saw the wizards run towards him.
Erza: "You did it."
Natsu: "Awesome, nice work man."
Makarov walked up to Goku and offered a handshake. Goku shaked his hand.
Goku: "It was the least I could do. After all, it was my body Zamasu used to hurt people. I had to make up for that." (A/N: Play Fairy Tail: Drops of Time).
Goku's body began to age at a fast paste which everyone took notice of. His hair began to turn from black to gray as he grew wrinkles.
Wendy: "Your aging away."
Goku: "Well, that's what happens when a thousand years catches up with you. I'm passing on."
The wizards gasped.
Natsu: "You can't."
Lucy: "Yeah, you can't just die."
Makarov then held up his staff to silence everyone.
Makarov: "So, do you have anyone waiting for you on the other side?"
Goku: "Yep, my wife, my sons, my grandkids, and my friends. Thank you."
Laxus: "For what?"
Goku: "For freeing me. By the way, there's a way to bring everybody who died back to life." They all turned to Goku.
Levy: "How?"
Goku: "You need the seven Dragon Balls."
Gray: "What are those?"
Goku: "They are seven magical orbs. If you gather them together, it summons the divine dragon, Shenron. He will grant you any two wishes. That includes bringing the dead back to life."
They all then cheered up with this news.
Sting: "So that means, everybody can come back?"
Goku: "Yep" Goku then reached inside his pocket, pulling out a Lacrima. He threw it to Lucy.
Lucy: "What's this?"
Goku: "It's a dragon radar lacrima. That's how you track down Dragon Balls."
Natsu: "Thanks man." Goku's body then started to turn to little drops of yellow particles that flew into the air.
Makarov: "Thank you, for everything."
Gildarts: "We hope you have a good rest."
Goku: "See ya later." And with that Goku was gone. They all looked up into the sky. Seeing the particles float up into the sky. They soon went back to the guild hall to celebrate as the townspeople rebuilt Magnolia.
The End.
Or is it? Post credit scene
Back at the guild hall, a day after the final battle with Zamasu. Team Natsu was rested up and ready to go. They all left the guild hall. Natsu and the others had their stuff packed. Lucy had the lacrima Goku gave to her in her hand.
Natsu and Happy raised their hands to the sky, ready to start their next adventure.
Natsu: "Let's find those Dragon Balls."
