A/N: Yo! So, by now, for those who got an email notification about a new Ch upload under the name of Sitri Vollstandig, that person is me lol. I'm Sitri Vollstandig, formerly known as SubarashiLawl. I just thought it was time for a name change.
To be honest, whenever I look by at my old name, I thought it was very cringy. Believe or not, I wanted to change my name but had never had the time until a week ago. That's right. I spent a whole week thinking of a new name that won't sound as cringy as my old one.
My name came from two shows I thought would be cool putting together. Sitri was thought of by one of Mirajane's Satan Soul forms & Vollstandig is one of Candice Catnipp's Quincy power where she has six wings made out lightning bolt edges. They look very cool. Tbh, I would go gay for both of them, those... 2D characters lol.
Now get to reading...!
Android 21 Arc
Chapter 43: The Mastermind Revealed...
Afternoon...
Rocky Mountain Wastelands 1 (Destroyed...)
A plan was going under way, and it was led by Bulma & Makarov. Because there were so many people still unconscious, they decided to do the rescue operations in different teams, to be precise.
One of the main groups were a pair of four. And they are: Goku, Mira, Gohan & Piccolo. Due to Mirajane's request, she had ask the love of her life to help find the kids first as their first priority and he obliged. Though, in the process of trying to find the kids, the four had stumbled upon multiple clones of themselves, with some being more of Gokus & Mirajanes, say, like, thirty each...?
"... ... ..." Gohan stared down the army of clones they were walking their way to him and his family, "This seems like it's going to take a while, guys. Some of the clones I'm sensing has an energy far greater than the other ones."
"Does that tell you anything, Gohan?" Piccolo asked, armed crossed.
"Yeah. I'm afraid I'm not going to be powerful enough to be of much help in this fight..." Gohan replied with a little bit of regret.
"Hey, don't sweat it, Gohan! You'll be totally fine!" Goku encouraged, placing his right hand on his left shoulder, "If push comes to shove, we both can just fuse together as father & son!"
"F-Fuse? Me & you?" Gohan's attention were full on his father as he widened his eyes. In a way, he was excited with that idea, "That's an awesome idea, Dad! I am totally down with that!"
Goku cheerfully responded, "I know, right? If we did fused, what would our name be? Gokun? Gohaku? Gonaku?"
"Gokhan?" Mirajane added, standing next to Goku's left side.
"Oh, that's a good one, Mira!" Goku complimented, "Gohau? Gohan! Oh, wait..."
Mirajane giggled from realizing Goku's last name was their son's name, "Haha, you have a gift with names, dear." she teased.
"I don't want to rain on your parade, you two, but if you do happen to fuse, you could mess up. You'd be no more than deadweight. And that's crucial in this crisis we're in." Piccolo cuts in, coughing to catch their attention, "Besides, you would have to teach Gohan the entire process since he hasn't really learned the moves himself, so let's just forget about that."
"Oh, right. Aw, that's too bad..." Gohan said, disappointed as he slouched, "I really wanted to try out those cool poses just once."
"Yes, I know. If you wanted to learn the dance, you should've done so before we got he- - Wait, hold on, did you say cool!? You're referring to the fusion pose?!" Piccolo said, confused.
"Hmm?" Gohan stopped his slouching to reply, "Yeah, it's really, really cool, don't you think?"
"I think it is. It's very symmetrical." Mirajane said, voicing her non-hurtful opinion about the fusion dance, "It's also a very cute dance, if you ask me. Say, weren't you the one who taught the boys the dance, Goku?"
Goku responded, "Yep, I did. They were able to master it thanks to Piccolo all those years ago when I had to leave for other world at the time. But the poses does look cool, I guess. Right, Piccolo?"
"Huh!? Oh, um, sure..." Piccolo replied.
"Hmm, okay! How 'bout this, Son? When all of this is over, I can teach you the fusion dance, if you like? Sound good?" Goku proposed.
"Really!? Heh, heh, that's sounds like a plan! Thanks!" Gohan accepted.
"Just make sure you teach him right, dear. The end results could be disastrous if he messes up." said Mirajane as she remembered Goku telling her all the deep details on how to get the dance right.
"Right, Mira/Mom." Goku & Gohan replied.
"(If Gohan thinks the fusion dance is cool, then he really is his father's son. I'm getting some serious Great Saiyaman flashback...)" Piccolo gulped.
"Oh, hey, mom, that reminds me. I should show you my superhero outfit I wore during my high school years. I called myself the Great Saiyaman!" Gohan said, placing his hands on his hips with a superhero background.
And Piccolo fell on his back...
"Sure! I would love to see it, Gohan!" Mirajane said, smiling.
"(Her, too!?)" Piccolo's pupils slightly disappeared for second, later regaining them.
"Oh, crap. Hey, so, let's focus on the enemy at hand, guys. Gosh, I'm counting over fifty of them walking at us!" Goku said, spotting the clones in front of them from far away distance.
"The majority of them are me and Goku. That's pretty creepy. Not to mention one clone of me & Goku are lead that army of clones."
"That must mean they're the strongest out of every clone, then, Mira." Goku speculated, "Right, guys. Let's get this started...!"
Ironically, with what Mirajane said about how the clone of her & Goku were leading the rest of clones behind them, the original Mirajane, in her Satan Soul, with Goku in his SSJ form, were leading the charge with Ultimate Gohan & Piccolo following behind them.
And in twenty minutes, they eviscerated all fifty clones. Goku was now at twenty-five percent of power, Mirajane at fifteen percent, with Gohan & Piccolo at twenty percent. Now they were going to meet up with their friends...
Afternoon
Rocky Wasteland 2, Out of 21's R.R. Base...
(1 Hour Later...)
Different people at the camp had different jobs. Several people, like Goku's team, got assigned to find more unconscious members while those who can't fight are assigned to help the crew in any way possible, like Hisui & the soon-to-be awaken Jenny Realight.
When Goku's team came back after not finding the kids, Virgo had confronted them about locating 16's whereabouts. Thanks to that valuable information obtained by Virgo somehow, Goku, Krillin, Piccolo & Mirajane headed out. The rest of the team, however, went back into tracking down their friends.
Now arriving, Goku & friends were now landing in an open rocky wasteland where in front of them, they saw a laboratory door in an shadowed place built inside of larger rocks in front of them...
"So, is this the place, huh? Seems pretty villainy, right?" Goku said with his hands on his hips.
"This is, indeed, the base, Goku." Piccolo confirms it for him, "Whoever launched that E.M.P. is in there, waiting for us."
"If we're at the boss so earlier, then I guess it was a good thing all of us didn't go here." said Mirajane, holding Goku's left hand, "Who knows how strong this person is..."
"Let's not forget this person is in contact with Towa since I felt such malicious demon energy when I tried to stop the E.M.P. several days ago..." Goku added, "Are you guys ready? We can end this once and for all when we beat the one who's behind all of this."
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be, Goku." Krillin said, clenching his fists, "With this guy out of the way, we can save our friends without worrying so much..."
"Haha, I gotta tell ya, it's been a hassle." Goku sighed, "You have no idea how much I wanted to head here without Virgo."
"That pink-haired girl in the maid's outfit?" Krillin said, raising his left eyebrow, "What's the deal with her & you, pal?"
"She's very protective for some reason. I can't go anywhere without having to tell her where I'm going. When she wanted to come with us, I asked her to stay with Lucy, since she has her key and is her master before me. But, man, was she pouty or what?" Goku said as a thought bubble appeared above his head with Virgo giving Goku the look while pouty.
"Goku, you have a knack for catching the girls' eyes, including mine. But that maid girl, Virgo, is very odd, I must admit." Mirajane said, thinking hard about her, "You & her formed a contract, and now she thinks she's your lover or some sort. Sigh... Why can't I have one thing to myself without more girls trying to eat my Goku alive?"
"Goku's Goku. Maybe that's why, haha." Krillin jokes, making Goku & Mirajane laugh, as well.
When it was said and done, the She-Devil noticed someone coming out from the R.R.'s hideout, "Hmm?" Mirajane squinted her eyes, "Guys, someone's coming out!"
All four had saw the doors open. Coming out from the enemy's hideout, a shadowy figure approaches them, confronting them as he wasn't really told to do so by his master, but did so anyway. Coming out of the shadow, Goku & the others were prepared for a fight ahead of them, but later recognizing who it was that came out...
"So, you're here at last." the mysterious figure said, jumping down to confront the four.
"16..." Krillin relievedly sighed, "It's you! It's really, really you!"
"So that's him? The android that made Gohan enter the next level of SSJ." Mirajane mumbled under her breath.
"16, if this is you, do you have your old memories?" Krillin asked, hoping for what's best in this situation.
"... ... ..." 16 has yet to respond to Krillin's words. He didn't know what to make out of this confrontation. But him being quiet made Krillin assume he did remember.
"Haha, you do! It is you!" Krillin said with excitement in his voice.
"... So what if I do?" 16 said.
"Wait, why are you saying it like that? Do you not remember fighting with us against Cell, side-by-side, years ago?" Krillin asked, wanting to find out.
"... ... ..." was 16's response.
"16, why are you helping the Red Ribbon Army? More specifically, the person who's responsible for the E.M.P.? It's just insane!" asked Krillin.
16 was quick to respond, "There is no need for me to answer that, Krillin." he turned on his aura, readying to fight.
Krillin didn't want fight him. He knew 16 was an android who loved to cherish life. He was different from 17 & 18, Cell, Gero & 19. He saw that in him the moment 16 had asked for a repair back when Cell was the high level threat. But for this 16? Something didn't add up for the bald cue ball...
"Please, 16, stop. We don't wanna fight you!" Krillin begged, "Just walk away from this nonsense with the person behind the E.M.P. & the clones, please!"
16 was ready to fight. He stared primarily down at Goku while Krillin was talking in the background. He took one step back...
"Your motives are not relevant. If you will not engage, I will...!"
Krillin's words weren't getting to him, so this doesn't make any sense. While still thinking of what could've been done to avoid confrontation, the new model of 16, who's standing in front of the four, charges at them with no remorse.
As Krillin snapped back into reality, he didn't have time to react at 16 who was playing aggressive here. But his Saiyan best friend did. Goku turned into a SSJ and at once, he charged towards 16 as the two collided their right fists, forming a crater below their feet...
"... I see. You're a lot stronger than when we first fought, Son Goku,: 16 admitted, realizing he got some of his energy back.
"Heh, why thank you. A lot has changed since our first go, 16. I've gotten back a lot of energy since then. I'm not at full strength yet, but I'm a lot stronger now than last time."
Goku brushes off their connected fisting and got the first blood. He punched 16's face with his right hand and blasted 16 away from him with a surprising Ki blast from his left palm. And he chases in pursuit.
As Goku chases after 16, the renowned 16 blocked his attack with only his aura and got back at him by punching him in the abdomen. Goku spits out saliva from the impact of 16's punch and was pushed back by it, landing on the ground a few feet from him...
"Ugh, that was rough." Goku said, getting up. He was wipes his mouth and got back on his feet.
There was a seven second stare down and in a blink of an eye, both the fighter teleported in the air, with their forearms clashing. Goku's left & 16's right, they caused a shockwave that blew Mirajane & the other away.
In one sequence, Goku laid a punch to the right side of 16's face and disappeared. In a second sequence, 16 lands a left kick to his stomach. And in the final sequence, the two both interlocked their hands with each other as they tried to push each other away for more dominance...
"Kch..." Goku flicked his tongue as he was sweating intensely, "Something tells me that at my strength right now, I wouldn't be able to beat you."
"Your hypothesis is correct. Even though you gained back more power than before, you still don't have what it takes to bring me down, Goku." 16 said, monotoned.
"What!?" Goku gasped in surprise.
16 had saw an opening from Goku and had decided to take it. Goku had left himself open that he didn't know and paid the price. 16 headbutts Goku, to which, pushed his head back and kneed him with his right knee and repeated that action.
Over and over, Goku was spitting out saliva. Each hit had caused Goku to lose his pupils, so 16 increased his speed. This time, Goku spat out blood. With every hit, Goku felt as though he was in a motion of pain given by punishment.
Just as when 16 was about to continue more, Goku has had enough. He turned on Kaio-Ken for a brief second, turned it into a short-burst, and elbowed him directly in the face. 16 gets pushed back and in a short-burst again, Goku activated the Kaio-Ken and stacked it on his SSJ aura. 16's head was moving in a motion of left & right as he repeatedly took the punches of SSJKK Goku.
But it didn't last long.
He unleashed his consecutive punches for about twenty-five seconds and when he was about to end it off with a big one, 16 caught it...
"Huh?" Goku's eyes widened.
With his right fist caught, 16 pulled Goku to him and decked him hard in the face, centered first, and made him turn off his Kaio-Ken...
"Goku...!" Krillin yelled in concern.
"It's over, Goku." 16 said, evading the possibility of a win for the good guys.
Just as when 16 was about to kill a blinded Goku, a certain She-Devil came in and rescued her beloved. She entered Satan Soul and quickly pitched in to help him. Rushing to Goku's aid with her limited speed, Mirajane stopped 16 in his tracks and delivered a left suckered punched to his 16, sending him crashing to the rocks under the lab's hideout...
"GET AWAY FROM HIM...!" Mirajane growled as her aura was covering Goku.
"Whoa, that's Goku's girlfriend!?" Krillin said, shaking his eyes from seeing something unfamiliar, "Her energy just spiked up!"
"Hmph. That's the She-Devil of Fairy Tail, Krillin. It's a lot of explain, but she's able to combat with villains in our league thanks to the Time Rift effects." Piccolo said, secretly hyping her up as she caught Goku in her arms in the background, "And if I remember right from Gohan, she's able to consume Demon energy and use it as her own."
"Goku, dear, are you alright?" Mirajane asked, worrying for him, "You have to remember you're not at full strength."
"Heh, heh, yeah I'm fine. Thanks for the save, Mira." Goku chuckled, later looking at his right hand, "This much energy back and it's still not enough? What's going on here?"
"Dear, I know you're disappointed, but if you're not careful, you'll get yourself killed. Let me fight alongside with you." Mirajane requested, holding on tight to his hands.
"R-Right..." Goku said, accepting her help.
And together, the two got up. Staring at 16 as he got out of the rubble, the two turned on their aura while holding each other's hands. Together, the two formed cupped hands. Mirajane with her left & Goku with his right...
"Hey, Piccolo, Krillin. I'm going to need you two to distract 16 while me & Mira are doing something." Goku said while still looking at 16 getting out of the rubble.
"Huh? Right! Let's get started, Piccolo!" Krillin said, turning on his aura.
"Hmph." Piccolo smirked as he, too, turned on his aura.
The two flew up, destroying the ground they jump off of and came in front of Goku & Mirajane. They now know what they were about to do. As 16 was still getting out of the rubble, he was met with multiple Ki blasts from both the human & Namekian. And now he was getting pushed back even more and that drove 16 to get slam further in.
While they were doing that, Goku & Mirajane were powering up for a combined Super Kamehameha. At their current power, it was enough to put 16 down, but not kill him entirely. Just to get him on his knee. Two minutes later, they were done charging up...
"Alright, it's done! Get out of the way, you two!" Goku shouted as the energy attack was overshadowing his face.
"Right! Hurry, Krillin! Move out of the way!" Piccolo shouted back as he moved away to his left.
"You don't have to tell me twice! I know! Here we go!" Krillin dashed to his far right, "Your move, Goku! Mira!"
"Right! " the two simultaneously said. Together, the two dragged their leg back, opposite of each of other, held their cupped hands in the middle of their space and pushed forward at 16, aiming at him with their auras pushed back, "Kamehameha...!"
This version of the Kamehameha was completely colored in dark, jet-black, with light blue outlines. A mixture of demon energy infused with Goku's energy, the blast heads it way to Android 16, who just got out of the rubble.
Standing up and dusting himself off, his attention was now on the attack and his eyes widened...
"...!"
And the blast completely ate him whole, overwhelming him as he yelled in the process. The lab, that was behind him wasn't destroyed but rather a barrier had activated, bouncing off the Kamehameha into the sky.
16 was now on one knee, injured with one eye closed...
"Guys, I've noticed something." said Goku reverting back to base form as Mirajane did the same.
"What's up, dear?"
"I don't think 16 actually wanted to fight us. Isn't that right, 16?" Goku shouted to get his attention.
16 smiled as a response, "Yes. That is correct."
"I knew it! You never planned on killing us after all, did you?" Goku uttered, "Those blows you gave me, I felt as if they were never put in thought to. Like you punched me, but you didn't. You lacked that killer instinct..."
"Yeah. It's like Goku said. You're not fighting, 16, because you don't want to. And if that's the case, we can be friends again like how we were back then!" Krillin said, opening 16 in open arms.
"Your words are moving as ever, Krillin. However, I cannot leave the Army." 16 said with regret, "If I were to go with you, I would leave a certain monster running amok, which is something I cannot afford to do."
"Monster? What are you saying, 16?" Krillin asked, hoping to get more insight of this so-called 'monster'.
"Yes, this person is currently the leader of the Red Ribbon Army. Android 21." 16 revealed.
The reveal of another Android that could possibly be another one of Dr. Gero's creation shook the cores of Goku, Krillin and Piccolo as they had personal history with him. To think there's another Android causing havoc for Goku & the Z-Fighters, well, let's just say some things never change. As for Mirajane, she was very unfamiliar since this is all new to her...
"Y-You're saying there's another Android who goes by the number of 21?!" Goku questioned as he was surprise to hear more Androids.
"Hey, guys, I don't understand. I thought the Androids got absorbed by Cell. Well, okay, they're not anymore but still, what's the deal here?" Mirajane said, bringing up old history given to her by Goku & the other's stories.
"Unfortunately, yes. To give you all answers here, the E.M.P. Energy Ball was directed by her. In that ball, that allowed itself to take yours and your friends' energy, was filled with malicious energy, demon energy that even I'm afraid of." 16 informed.
"S-So your master isn't Towa!?" asked Goku seriously since he heard the word demon in 16's sentence, "I need to know, 16."
Mirajane noticed the tone shift in Goku's voice. Looking to her left, at him, she noticed he had on a serious face, and she knew why, "(Goku...)" she gulped after, "(Towa messed with us back at Fiore. She could potential play a huge role in this world, as well)."
"Towa isn't the one operating everything behind scenes, Son Goku. But rather she plays a part. She's the supplier."
"Supplier." Goku repeated, gathering up the information so far, "Are you saying she gave your master demon energy for that E.M.P.?"
"Affirmative." 16 confirmed, "Demon energy, even though I cannot sense energy in general, is something I had advise 21 to avoid, but of course, the monster in her said so otherwise. There was something in that Demon energy that scared both of us, but to 21's extent, she went with it anyway."
"Did you figure out what it was that was putting a scare? Demon energy is no joke..." asked Goku.
16 quickly responded, "I have. 21 & I got informed about where that specific Demon energy came from. A being that's above that of an average demon. Demon God Mechikabura."
The male trio flinched. Goku had no longer placed his hands on his hips with what he has heard. For Piccolo & Krillin, hearing it from Whis many chapters ago, they were nervously sweating. They all knew that Mechikabura, a Demon God, was not a joke in the matter...
"So that's how the E.M.P. managed to overpower me. Wow..." Goku scoffed, "Being a Demon God is not joke, I'll admit."
"And you're saying she's in leagues with Towa & this Mechikabura person?" Krillin asked, wanting to get reminded just in case he could've heard wrong.
"Indeed. Towa & Mechikabura have given 21 a huge stock in energy supply that's strong enough to destroy this universe and the next."
"Then why hasn't she done so already? If she got this Demon energy from a God, why not do what most people we come across try to do?" Piccolo asked.
"I... do not know." 16 replied, lost, "All I've been doing as of lately is complying with 21's orders. However, with the monster inside of her, 21's personality is growing more out of hand. Once a kind person, but now slowly turning sour, she's growing more savage by the day. Were I were to leave my post- -"
"Exactly. If you were leave her post, SHE would've never awaken again."
"...!"
Another voice, another person. Goku & the others looked up and were unaware of the unidentified voice. It took the boys a while, but to Goku & Krillin, they were about to recognize who that person was that was slowly flying down, making her entrance...
"No way..." Krillin's eyes were shaking, but he wasn't scared, "You're that researcher from the island with 18!"
"Oh, no... 21!" 16 exclaimed.
"Wait, wait, wait, she's 21!?" Goku said, raising his voice a bit.
Now that 21 was revealed, she planted her heels on the ground for a peaceful landing. Her arms were crossed and she had on a petty smile. Glancing at Goku & the others, then back at 16, she sighed out of disappointment...
"I was hoping to reveal myself until later on, but I guess I can spice things up a bit." 21 said, smiling at the Z-Fighters.
Krillin cuts in, "I don't get it. You seem like a nice person. If you're 21, why did you save 18 yesterday?"
"Haha, save her? Oh please, I never 'saved' her. I just said that to feed you lies in order to avoid fighting. I'm not at full power as of yet, but if you were to form with an alliance with Frieza & his crew, well, that could prove to be troublesome."
"21... I just have to know here. Are you working with Towa...?" Goku politely asked, uneased as he clenched his fists.
"Working? Why, she was just giving me fuel, Goku." 21 responded.
"How does she know your name?" Mirajane mumbled.
"Fuel?"
"Yeah. Basically, she offered me power to help with my experiment here. But there's been a change of plan. I had to scrap my first one out the window just to try out the power Towa gave me."
"You do realize Towa's a demon, right? She's just going throw you away once she's done using you! There's always a catch when there's an offer given by her!" Goku shouted.
"Heh. Towa said you might say that, so she just did the opposite." 21 smirked this time.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't know much about Towa, but I did comprehend how much she has a distaste towards you. And because of that, she wants you to suffer, badly. She has her hands full for with some personal matter but left me with the task in doing so. By gifting me so much unhinged Demon energy, I decided to add it to my current experiment going on."
"Experiment? You can saying that, but you haven't really tell us what it is. Out with it!" Mirajane demanded.
"Mirajane Strauss... I must admit, you're a lot prettier in person." said 21, eyeing the She-Devil with a grin, "I guess I'll reveal that, too. With Towa giving me Demon energy, I'm going to apply that to me, hoping to grasp it properly so I can use it against you all. Right now, I'm still in development on how I can implement Demon Energy, which is why I casted out the E.M.P. Energy Ball. I can't have you, Vegeta or Frieza kill me before I ever got the chance to, so I made clones for you all to hunt down 'cause here's my conclusion of you all. By the time you all gain back your energy, I'll be complete, I'll be one with the Demon energy, not to mention energy from every single one of you."
"So, let me get this straight. Because you haven't soaked the Demon energy in yet, you used some of it to ignite an E.M.P. to delay Goku & the others so they have no choice but to start regaining back their energies from the clones that came out of the E.M.P. just so you can try to master the Demon Energy by Towa?"
"That's the sum of it, yeah." 21 nodded, giving Piccolo the benefit of the doubt.
"(She's trying to master this energy around the same time Goku & us try to hunt down our clones, huh). You do realize that with your E.M.P. you killed a planet filled with people who can't sense Ki just so you can take in Demon energy while we search for our friends, our clones?"
"Does it look like I give a damn, Strauss? I don't give a rat's ass about the people here. All I care about is reaching a level to where I can rule over a universe. And with the Demon energy, I can pull it off. By the time I master it, I want to fight you all at your full capacity. But then again, I might kill you in the process, haha..."
"You're full of it, huh? Putting on a fake persona, fake rescuing my wife. Why not just kill us now?"
"Killing you all now, without mastering the Demon energy, would be no fun, Krillin. Where's the fun in that? As for you, 16, I've had enough!" 21 said, turning to the ginger Android that was still on one knee with anger in her voice, "Did you think I wouldn't know about the things you're doing behind my back? Kch, you're nothing more than a treacherous pile of slag."
"I don't... I don't understand." 16 said, getting up.
"Like hell you don't! Heh, behind the scenes, you went behind my back and killed some of the clones for Goku here so he could regain more than he had anticipated. And that goes for his friends that went clone hunting yesterday!"
"Huh? That was you, 16? Gosh, no wonder why I felt such a big boost whenever I fight my own clones. And now I know how Natsu & the others managed to defeat their own clones. I mean, I know Virgo was with them, but still..."
"Hmph. Yes, the clones that died in your favor was because of this hunk of junk here, 16. Those clones weren't meant to stall for time, as much time as possible for me to master the freakin' Demon energy. But thanks to his stupid actions, I now have to change a few things."
"So what if you have to, 21? It's not as if you can master the Demon energy right away."
21 took offense to that. She turned herself to 16, pissed as she placed her hands in the hand pockets of her lab coat, "Oh? How dare you use that tone with me. 16, you failed creation. I thought I made my policy clear. Continue to resist me, like the loser you are, and I'll make sure that she is history."
"She?" Goku & Mirajane repeated as they were confused.
"... Surely, you wouldn't. You promise you would keep her out of it since she's trying hard here."
"Hard at what? Being a faker? I see you still intend to side with the organics. So sad. Such wasted effort. So, Goku & friends, do you all want to see what I accomplished in the past several days while I was trying to get the hang of the Demon energy? Watch..."
21 was about to try something on Goku & the others. One glance and she unleashed a heavy pressure onto Goku & the others. This amount of pressure that 21 was dishing out, as her hands were out in front, led to Goku being unable to maintain his sight on her.
The female Android's aura was dark red. Oozing out as if it unstable, 21's glasses slid down just a little and the atmosphere was being shadowed in her light. The amount of Demon energy that was coming out of her was putting a scare of the others, especially Goku since he has more than enough experience with Demon energy than anyone in the guild...
"Holy... Do you guys feel that...?" Krillin asked, scared out of his mind as he took a step back.
Piccolo cuts in, "Her energy's off the roof. She's still going, too..."
"Goku..." Mirajane gulped from seeing 21 still going on, "I thought she said she hadn't mastered it yet. What is this...?"
"Kch... Why is it that everywhere I go, every person I fight, they have to have Demon energy on the spot?" Goku said, intensely sweating.
"Look! She's changing...!" Krillin pointed out.
She was undergoing transformation that was unexpected. But given that she's using Demon energy given by Towa, she was more than cracked. The ground below her was formed into a small crater, and small pebbles & rocks were levitating around her. Small bits of dark purple energy was surfacing around her and some of the energy was even coming out from her skin.
Her clothes & glasses were disintegrating and a white light came out, overtaking the eyes of Goku & the others for a temporary brief moment. As the light simmers down, Goku & the others were now in ununified glory of a new 21, a 21 with Demon energy.
Her front bangs that covered her eyes were out of the way, and the first thing she did in her transformation form was grin at Goku. Her appearance was similar to various former villains. The color of her hair was pale pink, not to mention her skin tone was pink, too. Ears that were now pointy, her eyes were dark red & as it turns out, she grew a tail! Her new attire was a bit revealing, meaning she was wearing a black tube top while keeping the black arm sleeves, but in the process of also gaining white baggy pants, like Super Buu...
"W-What the!?" Krillin shudders immensely, "She looks like Majin Buu!"
"Kch, her energy's stupidly up there, too." Piccolo added, "With all that Demon energy surrounding her like some kind of aura, she could prove to be troublesome..."
"Oh my god..." Mirajane's eyes couldn't help but shake in fear, knowing that 21's energy as of this moment could kill the four of them.
"So, guys, what do you think? I took the appearance of Majin Buu. You know, pink skin, white baggy pants? Believe it or not, I didn't intend to look like this, but what can you do when you try to absorb some of that Demon energy, huh?" 21 said, expanding her dark red aura, "Hehe, this power is amazing."
"Goku, you two, how do you guys suppose we go about this...?" Mirajane asked, scared as she tucked her clenched fists closer to her stomach, "This energy- - I've... It's too deadly."
"Yeah..." Goku responded, gulping as he was eager to know the status of 21's power, "So, 21, is this your full power? 'Cause I gotta say, this Demon energy you just got from Towa, it's not much..."
"Hmm? Very overly confidently, aren't we? But you're right. As of now, I may be harnessing the Demon energy, but what you all are sensing isn't my peak. I'm still trying to get the hang of it. So, I'm far from nearly complete, Goku..." 21 smirked, later turning to 16, angry, "As for you, you failed hunk of junk, this is farewell!"
In front of 16, 21 projected a dark black, but with a red outline, energy ball with her aura being the same color. The energy she put into it gave Mirajane a scare to where she didn't noticed she was widening her eyes too far. She was getting PTSD from the Demon energy she sensed from Ultear when she got possessed by Towa long ago...
Behind everyone, next to Goku, Mirajane was trembling. Scared as she was shaking, she shudders, "(She has so much Demon energy, it's not right. This is bad. Goku's not at full power here and her energy's making it seem as though Goku could take her on!)"
"Well, 16, it's been a pleasure. Not that I don't appreciate the things you did with me, but also doing things against me by going behind my back? Yeah, you're going to get blown into oblivion. Those who stand in my way, will be ripped into tiny pieces!"
"21..." 16 stared at her, knowing that this '21' in front of her isn't the one he was fond of.
"Don't hate me. Hate your pathetic maker for leaving you in such a defected state with a defective personality!" 21 shouted, placing her energy ball above her head, expanding it as her aura was getting infused with it in the process.
Concerned for 16's safety, despite being a different model, Piccolo was quick to point out for him to run, as it was the obvious thing to do...
"16, get out of there! You're going to get blown to bits! Hurry!" Piccolo yelled, waving his hand in front of the ginger Android.
But 16 didn't bother moving, despite getting a heads up by Piccolo. While still on one knee, 16 tilted his head down a little. Closing his eyes, knowing this was it for him, he accepted it. He was going to accept his death. Krillin, on the other hand, wasn't going to take this as it didn't suit well with him, knowing 16 isn't the killing type...
"You heard Piccolo! You have to move!" Krillin shouted, encouraging 16 as he later realize he wasn't going to move, "Gah, hold on! I'll save you instead!"
"No, Krillin!" Goku teleported next to his bald friend, turning on SSJ, "I'll do it. 21's energy that's infused with Demon energy is way stronger than what it appears to be." he formed two cupped hands to his right.
"Goku, what are you going to do?" Mirajane asked as her hair was getting blown back.
"Since 21 revealed herself to be the one who created the E.M.P., I'm taking Ultear's advice and putting an end to this, to all of this! Ka...me...ha...me...HAAAA!"
As the Kamehameha was heading its way to 21, she just stood there. With a blank expression on her face as the big blue energy blast overtook her entire body. She didn't bother moving, but rather she decided to stay in the same place, with her right hand still up while holding the energy blast...
"W-Wow..." Goku said, amazed as he took a step back.
"I-Impossible..." Mirajane muttered, "(Even though that wasn't Goku's full power, at his current state, it should've matched 21's)."
"Kch, not even a scratch or a freakin' dent!" Piccolo added.
To 21, she didn't feel the Kamehameha inflict that much pain to her. Hell, she didn't even notice she got hit by it, too. Her attention was fully on 16, who was still on one knee, his right one. After the failed Kamehameha, Goku & the others noticed the size of 21's energy ball. It was got big by just slightly. But noticing the size didn't matter in this situation. Because Goku failed to stop 21, 16 now had to pay with his life.
This was it for the ginger Android. The dark red energy ball that was heading its way to 16 was the final step to coming to death's door. There wasn't any other option, really. Even if 16 was able to run, he still wouldn't have made it out alive. The size of 21's attack is one thing, but the impact? That was something else.
Going on the designated path, the energy ball was backed up with pressure so heavy that being just almost near it, a normal human could explode like a ticking bomb. But to a nonhuman, an Android of the renowned different model of 16, he had accepted his fate...
"16!" Krillin yelled as he was getting hold back by Goku & Piccolo.
A large explosion had commenced, with 16 being at the center. Out from the dialed down smoke was a formed crater drenched in 16's ashes. Fire that looked as though it was formed for the purpose of a campfire, 16 was no more. Goku & the others were speechless, especially Krillin, most of all...
"No... 16..." Krillin sadly said as he looked at what was remained of 16, "We just got reunited, he and I. And now he's gone... again. I can't believe it happened a second time..."
"Krillin..." Mirajane mourns at the loss of 16, even though she didn't know him that well.
"Aw, are you crying of sweet 16?" 21 asked in a mocking tone, "Haha, it's going to be all right, Krillin! Why, you may ask? 'Cause you and your friends are going to join him, too! I'll start by eating you all up- - UGH!"
21, as of right now, was experiencing a headache. Her right eye was closed and she used her right hand to cover it. Being the scientist that she is, she knew exactly why she was experiencing it...
"Kch... damn. That last attack took a toll on me. The Demon energy's still not sitting right with me. Damn it to hell. I have to figure out how to control it and crack more deep into it so I can use it fully to my extent. Otherwise, I'll be dead meat. Hmm?"
"ARGHH!" Goku yelled.
While still in SSJ form, Goku directedly charged at a distracted 21. He closed in and successfully punched her in the face, on the left side of her cheek, making her turn her head to the right. What was funny about this was that she didn't move and stood exactly in the same spot.
Piccolo & Krillin joined in on the fray and attacked elsewhere that was viable for them. Krillin assaulted 21 by aiming for her right hip with a left elbow as Piccolo left kicked her back. All three coordinated attacks, led by the three, did nothing to her.
Realizing that now, the three was met with her own Explosive Wave, but dark red. This version of the Explosive Wave was infused with Demon energy, so with just one wave closing in contact on the boys, they were met with defeat.
Mirajane had her guard up and protected herself by entering Satan Soul, covering her eyes with her arms as it was all going down. As the light had simmered down, she saw Piccolo & Krillin down on the ground, brutally injured and unconscious. Krillin was laid on his stomach, bleeding out as Piccolo laid on his back while also bleeding out.
The two of them lost their pupils and if that was bad enough, Mirajane has yet to see Goku battered up, too, as well. 21 held him by the throat as he was in his base form, gasping for air. His clothes, like the other two, were torn to shreds and he was inflicted with so much pain directly, it was much more than Krillin & Piccolo combined...
"Goku!" Mirajane yelled, concerned for her lover's safety.
"Well, I must admit. Demon energy can be a hassle to control, but with it still being unstable, it has its perks, hehe." 21 said, adding more pressure in squeezing his throat as he yelled in pain.
"(C-Can't breathe!)" Goku thought to himself as he struggled to get out of the choke grab.
"Hmm? I see that Mirajane Strauss didn't barge in to help you, Goku. Now why is that?" 21 teased, noticing that she was the only one left still standing, "Tell me, Goku, how much do you love Mirajane? Is she your lover?"
"Kch... I- -"
"Haha, it's fine. I already knew the answer. That means she'll definitely mind if I do this..." 21 licked her lips.
"Huh? What are you planning, 21?" Mirajane asked, standing her guard, "!"
21 still had a grab on Goku. Holding him by the throat, with her right hand, she pulled him closer to her and entered herself in on his territory. What she did had done pissed off the She-Devil. 21 had locked her lips directly at a helpless Goku, with his lips, while staring at Mirajane.
Goku couldn't fight it, seeing as though he was unable to. Mirajane, upon seeing Goku get kissed by a stranger, was placed in an unyielding anger. She turned on her dark purple aura and multiple veins were showed.
To make things more worse of the She-Devil, 21 played with his tongue. With her tongue around his, she used the muscles in her tongue to pull Goku's out, exposing it in broad daylight and continue on. It was very inappropriate and it wasn't unnecessary, but 21 was in the mood. She was sucking on Goku's tongue dry aggressively as it was fueling her taste buds. It came with saliva that she so thoroughly was enjoying. It wasn't no sweets, but it did her the favor as a temporary snacking.
Though, for the She-Devil, she had enough...
"Grr... GET AWAY FROM HIM...!"
Without thinking of a plan in mind, she carelessly rushed at 21. The thing about the whole kissing thing with 21 to Goku, it was meant to piss of Mirajane. And boy did it work. From Towa herself, 21 was informed with how much Goku & Mirajane had shown such affection to one another, seemingly as though their feelings seemed to true.
This was all a bait for Mirajane. And she took it, hook, line, and sinker.
Mirajane's pupils were gone for this brief moment as she let her anger take over. With her big right finger nails brewing out energy, she wanted to claw 21's eyes out. But that didn't intimate 21 at all.
As Satan Soul Mirajane got close to her, 21 dropped Goku onto the ground and dodged to her left to avoid her claws. Doing so, 21 noticed an opening. And she took it.
21's dark red aura appeared and she insanely giggled. While not holding back, she right kicked Mirajane's abdomen, causing her to spit out saliva. Dropped on her knees, 21 grabbed Mirajane by the hair & hit her in the abdomen again.
This time, she replaced her choke grab with Mirajane as something caught her eyes. Much like with 21, Mirajane had something in common with her, and she was able to explain what it is that the two had in common...
"Mirajane, my dear, there's something off about you. Your energy, out of the four, seems to be negative, but you're not possessed or something. Hmm..."
"Kch, let go of me, 21!" Mirajane asked, struggling.
"Now why would I do that? I don't want some weird Demon girl to claw out my eyes. Wait a minute... Demon girl?" 21 took a closer look at her appearance and that was when she figured it out, "That's it. By your appearance alone, I should've figured it out by now. You have Demon energy, just like me!"
"Ugh..."
"It all make senses now. From the very beginning, when I was spying on you with the drones, you, out of everyone in your stupid guild, was standing out. How can a human have Demon energy and maintain a form such as this? This is very unnatural..."
"M-Mira..." Goku lifted his head up while still in pain, "Run..."
"You're still alive? Tough guy, aren't ya? Back to you, Mirajane." 21 licked the right side of her cheek, "Demon energy and everything. You're the full package. You seem to mastered it well since you're harboring it with your Demon form. In a way, I envy you, but not anymore."
"...!" Mirajane's eyes widened.
Fascinated with the discovery of Mirajane's energy income, this time, she locked her lips on the She-Devil's, forcing her to pull out her aura. She tried grasping for air, but couldn't get out. Mirajane's aura, her Demon power, it was all getting sucked out of her by 21 as she was now inheriting it.
Doing such a feat reverted Mirajane back to normal. When she was out of juice, she was met with a deadly energy pierce to her stomach, gutting out her organs. Huge amounts of blood spiraled out of her new openly stomach & of course her mouth.
It was Déjà vu all over again. From Ultear to now 21, Mirajane joined the boys on losing her consciousness. Now that she was energy-less, 21 threw Mirajane to the side and sat on Goku. Although Mirajane down and out, her head was turned to Goku & 21...
"What are- - What are you doing to him...?" Mirajane asked as her voice was getting cut off.
"This energy is amazing. With your energy, Mirajane, I'm able to control the Demon energy a little bit better. This feels incredible, haha!" 21's aura bursted out, covering herself and Goku entirely, "Thanks for the energy, monster. Let me repay you by assaulting your lover again."
"Y-You wouldn't..."
21 quickly got off of him and responded, "Haha, I'm joking. If I wanted to do such a thing, I would've done way worser things. Like raping him in front of you while you're chained down. But enough about that. I'm gonna get going now. Consider this as a merciful act. Even though I took your energy, Mirajane, it's still not enough to help me control all of the Demon energy. So, I'm going to retreat."
"Why not just kill us already? We're already down!" Mirajane asked, wondering where this mercy was coming from.
"Hmph. Do all Fairy Tail members ask a lot of questions? I'm letting you go because I want to fight all of you when you're at full strength. With me fully controlling this Demon energy of course. So that means I want you all to keep killing your clones to get back your energies. I'll know whether or not I can kill of Goku in his SSB form. This is goodbye for now. Have fun bleeding out. Bye!"
This was a one time thing. The next time if Goku & the others were down and out, 21 would've just killed them on the spot. Leaving the scene, the four was met with a date with the ground dirt. All four gravely injured, there wasn't nothing they could do. With them being out, there was nothing they could do as of now. Without calling to their friends, they were just going to lie there, helplessly, as the wind blows a soft breeze.
Luckily for them, a certain Celestial Maid came to the rescue...
Afternoon
Tropical Island, Camp...
(2 Hours Later...)
Saved in the nick of time, the Celestial Maid managed to save the four from near death. To be honest with her, she had a feeling Goku's team would meet the critical condition on meeting death itself all because she had a gut feeling.
And it was a good thing she was onto something 'cause had she not arrived, Goku & the others would've die to blood loss. Virgo, Erza, Loke & Natsu rushed to Goku's team's aid the moment Virgo sensed her master's energy rapidly dropping and as of now, the four are all right. The students of Goku, the siblings of Mirajane, the friends all together, no matter the timeline, were all together, comforting the conscious four at the campfire...
"Okay, I guess you were right, Virgo. That lady, 21, isn't someone we can trust. Sorry I doubted you..." Goku said as he was getting applied appointment by Virgo.
"Hmm, it's fine. Knowing that it's you, I certainly expected it, to be honest. Now stay still, would ya? I'm going to apply some of my energy to you." Virgo said, turning on her clear pink outlined aura.
She placed her right hand on his chest and her aura merged onto his. His covered bruises that was patched by Erza, Lucy & Juvia were getting unbandaged and he felt some of the energy that came from Virgo transfer to him...
"There..." Virgo said, smiling just a bit as she witnessed Goku's health back to a hundred percent, "You're back to full health and I shared half of my energy with you. You're not as strong as you were previously, but you're still able to go a few rounds with clones suitable in your range."
To test out Goku's health, he was punching the air and was very much happy with the result, "As expected, Virgo, you're amazing! Some of this is my energy that I gave you. Wow, it's refreshing to see that you kept some of it still."
"I know. And quite honestly, I never thought it would ever come in handy. Nice to know. By the way, your main lover, Mirajane Strauss & your two other friends also got back to full health thanks to Big Brother Loke, Natsu & Gray sharing their energy to them. So, the four of you are all good."
"Haha, well, that's good to hear." Goku innocently chuckled.
"..." Mirajane was grateful she got healed, but was also looking down on herself with what happened to her.
"Is everything all right, Mira?" Lisanna asked, noticing Mirajane was looking down.
Mirajane responded, but in a upset way, "Uh, yeah, I'm fine, Lisanna. Thank you for worrying about me."
"Of course I would. You were about to die, sis. Can't have history repeat itself. Besides, we would all get super angry if the kind She-Devil would leave us."
"Lisanna's right, Mira. As a man, I couldn't forgive myself if I were to lose you in the exact same way possessed Ultear did that caused you to go out of commission for two weeks."
Mirajane smiled at her siblings' strong, hard care for her. She needed this after what just happened to her, mostly the part where she got her energy stolen from Majin 21. Uneased by the fact that that just happened, she was unsure what to do next...
"Man, I can't believe she's the mastermind. 21, the same scientist that saved my 18. There has to be a motive. Maybe she's being controlled or blackmailed?" Krillin said, throwing out ideas as he still found it impossible, "Maybe, just maybe... She's being controlled by Towa?"
"There isn't any blackmail or manipulation, Krillin. 21 was putting on a fake act, and she fooled all of us. And besides, even if she was being controlled, the Time Rift effects, one of the main one, would show up." Piccolo said, crossing his arms.
"She's in leagues with Towa. She has Demon energy. Why does it have to be Demon energy? Ugh..." Lucy grunted as she sat down on the log.
"Well, it's whatever, Lucy. As least we're all okay. That's all that matters." Goku said, sitting next to Mirajane as he holds her hands, "Hmm, it's bad enough we have Frieza, Cooler & Cell to worry about, but 21, too? We just can't catch a break..."
Mirajane blushed from the hand holding. She quickly kissed Goku and got up from her seat, letting go of Goku's hand, "I'm going to make something for everyone. So for a little while, I'll be out of commission for a while."
"Sure, you're good, Mira." Goku head patted her head, then kissed her forehead.
"Ahem..." Hisui came next to Goku, faking a cough as she wanted to seek his attention, "Let's focus on the matter at hand, Goku, and try to come up with a plan? These people we're going up against can really mess up the balance of this world. Try not to forget that they could be stronger than you with the amount of clones they could've already found."
"I know, I know, Hisui." Goku, this time, head patted her, "I haven't forgotten."
"So, Goku, what's the plan? 21's the culprit, so are we going to find her?" Gray asked with no shirt on.
"We have to. But aside from her, we also got Cell, Frieza, and Cooler to worry about, too." Krillin said, "But she- -"
"Is our top priority." Piccolo added, finishing Krillin's sentence.
"So no 21, guys? She's the strongest if she has Demon energy. I'd say we all try to sense her energy and bring the fight to her!" Natsu suggested as he pound his fists together.
"Eh, easier said than done." Krillin rubs the back of his head, uneased.
"Goku, my boy, is there anything you picked up on when you tried to put 21 down?" Makarov asked.
Goku responded, "When I was just barely conscious, she told me & my team that she still needed time to control the Demon energy. So that means she's not at full power yet. It could be a bluff. She talked about wanting to eat me, us, it's so very creepy-ish."
"But it doesn't matter about the eating habit, Goku. What matters here is how strong she'll get the longer she taps further in on the Demon energy." Piccolo said.
"She's juiced on it, too. Remember that, guys. That means that even though she has the advantage over us, it's only temporary." Loke added, lighting up a cigarette.
"Big Brother Loke's right. We can defeat her if she's reckless with that much negative power." Virgo cuts in.
"But that's the problem. We don't know if what she says is a bluff. For all we know, the Demon energy fueling 21 could already serve in her favor. And that problem could really be proven to be troublesome..." Piccolo said.
"Instead of just arguing about how strong 21 is or if she's calling a bluff, why not just sense her energy already?" Bulma said, insisting they all do that since there's a number's advantage serving in their favor, "You all can sense energy all too well, right? Just find 21's location by locking on and we bring the fight to her!"
"If only it were that simple..." Krillin said, disappointed.
"What do you mean?"
"What Krillin means to say is that we can't. She can hide her energy just like us very well, and she does it proudly." Erza answered for Bulma, "It's a complicated process, but when the target learns how to sense and hide energy, it's a whole different case."
"Yeah." Goku cuts in, "After Virgo fixed me, I've been trying to track down 21. Me and Virgo. But no cigar. For now, let's focus on what we CAN do!"
"Finding the rest of the gang and killing our clones to get back our energy?" Natsu said, giving out a raincheck.
"Exactly!" Goku said, excited, "Individually, we can't stop 21. But together, after we save our friends & stop our clones to get back out energy, we can stop all of them. There's nothing that can hold us back!"
"Hmph. We're going to need a bigger team for the battle ahead." Piccolo said, smirking.
Bulma cuts in, "And with a bigger team, we'll have bigger guns. We've gotten some bad news here and there, but worry not 'cause I've got something that might brighten our day! The good news is Virgo & Loke managed to pinpoint Vegeta!"
"Really?" Natsu & Gray simultaneously said as they turned their head to Bulma.
"Really." Loke repeated, "Apparently, he's not too far away from us. And believe it or not, he's not alone. Thanks to my cute little sis here, we found out that there's a person lying unconscious next to him. An energy similar to Lucy's."
"Eh?" Lucy stared at Loke, "What are you talking about, Loke? Are you saying that energy's related to me?"
"Could be. I'm not too entirely sure. We'll know once we get there."
"Then, it's settled! We'll head out to save our buddy Vegeta & figure out who this mysterious person is that has a similar energy to Lucy's!" Goku suggested.
"Not a bad idea, Goku! Way to go!" Bulma said, happy.
"Alright! Here's the plan, to make sure we can save Vegeta, I'll bring Team Natsu with me. That includes you, too, Juvia."
"Me? Okay, I'm honored." Juvia smiled, "(I can be with Gray more, haha)."
"If it's alright with you, Krillin, Piccolo, I'd like it if you two could stay here with the group. You, too, Loke. We need someone as strong as you to watch over everyone, with Piccolo & Krillin, too. Virgo will assist me & Team Natsu to make sure we can pull off this rescue operation. Something tells me this mission isn't going to be easy..."
"Okay, sure thing, buddy. Just let us know when you have Vegeta and this mysterious person that's similar to your blonde girlfriend."
"Eh? Krillin, Goku's not my boyfriend! He's my teacher!" Lucy said correcting him as she steamed up a little.
"Oh, right..." Krillin chuckled, "My bad, haha. It's just that when you see a bunch of beautiful girls hitting on my best friend like that, I would just assume all the girls I come across to would hit on him."
"Y-Yeah..." Lucy sweated, "But I'm not one of them. I admire Goku, but there's no way I'll see him that way."
Goku smirked. Turning to Team Natsu, he begins to ask the question as the Strauss Siblings was heading inside the tents with the cooking materials in the background...
"You five, are you ready to fight some clones and save your other teacher?" Goku asked, grinning at them with confidences.
"I'm all fired up, Goku." Natsu replied quickly as he smirked back at his teacher.
"If Volcanic Ashes here is ready, then you know I'm ready, too!" Gray gave him the thumbs up.
"Yes. I'm ready to fight alongside with my beloved Gray!"
"If this person is related to me, then I have to know. I'm ready, Goku." Lucy nodded at him.
Erza transformed into her Heart Clothes and pulled out her sword, "Let's do this. For Fairy Tail & for Vegeta."
"Alright, Virgo, lead the way." Goku said, looking at him.
"As you wish, Kakarot." Virgo responded to Goku's order by turning on her aura.
She entered the sky first with Goku & Team Natsu following after, leaving off a gust of wind to Bulma & the others. During this time, specifically inside Bulma's ship, a certain Miss Current Fiore had just woken up...
Late Afternoon
Green Plain Wasteland (Destroyed...)
Vegeta wasn't alone. Along with this mysterious person whose energy is similar to Lucy's, the two unconscious duo was met with none other than the bad men in town, Frieza & the Ginyu Force.
Goku, Virgo & Team Natsu made it to the area where Vegeta is, but were a couple of feet away from him. Although they had arrived, they didn't know the exact location. So, a little I spy was about to commence, and truth be told, it certainly came in handy...
"... ... ..." Goku looked everywhere. With his hands on his hips, his team was behind him with Virgo right beside him, on his left, "We're in the area like Virgo said. So why can't I sense his energy?"
"Kakarot, he's here somewhere. Keep in mind, it's faint when I picked it up and it's still faint now. It'll take a while..." Virgo said with her hands together in front of her.
Sensing Vegeta's energy may be quite troublesome, but there was more than one way to track down someone. Other than sensing energy, there was the nose of a Salamander. The Fire Dragon Slayer used his nose to the test and because he was close in the area, he managed to smell his scent...
"Hey! I found him! Look down there! I see him!" Natsu shouted as he pointed with his right index finger.
"Your nose! I forgot you could smell a person! Nice job, Natsu!" Lucy complimented, "Uh-oh. Looks like we got company, guys..."
Thanks to Lucy's head up, the gang saw thatVegeta & the mysterious person wasn't alone. Because behind them was the Evil Tyrant feared among the universe, Frieza. He looked down at Vegeta with a heinous grin. His right & middle finger aligned together for this one attack that was ready to get dished out, and that led Goku & the others to get on high alert...
"Vegeta, it's time to finish what WE started!" Frieza said, evilly grinning as his face was overshadowed by his purple Death Beam.
"Frieza...!" Goku said, spooking his team.
"Wait, what!? That's Frieza? That purple-ish lizard thingy?" Gray scoffed.
"His energy's quite enormous, I must admit..." Juvia nervously sweat.
"Kakarot..."
"I know, Virgo." said Goku as his turned SSJ, "It's time to stop Frieza!" and he teleported away, confronting Frieza as he grabbed onto his right hand similar to how SSB Gogeta did to Golden Frieza in the Broly movie, "Not so fast, Frieza!"
"Hmm? Who's there - -Oh, it's you. If it isn't my old nemesis in whom I loathe so much. Oh? It appears that he brought with him the welcoming wagon." Frieza said, yanking his hand away from Goku as he dashed back to Vegeta & the mysterious person's bodies.
"Hmm. Aside from seeing your monkey mutt again, I see you've surrounded yourself with other pathetic trash, huh?" Frieza said, taking shots.
"Kch! Why you... You're one talk about, Frieza, seeing as though you're just as weak as us!" Gray said, clapping back.
"Oh? A new face who isn't trembled in my essence?"
"The name's Gray Fullbuster. Don't you forget about it." Gray pointed at himself.
"Introductions are so mundane. Why tell me who you are when you're going to die in the next couple of seconds?"
"Heh, someone's cocky." Natsu smirked, lighting up his fists in fire, "Man, what am I so afraid of? Your energy's complete garbage."
"Natsu Dragneel." Frieza tilted his head up, staring at him with a dreadful glare "A hothead who doesn't know his place. I've seen so many like you and I killed so many like you. It's not refreshing, but it's a way to clean off the distaste in my mouth."
"Natsu... you're provoking him..." Lucy pointed out as she hid behind Virgo. Later, she checked on the person that was with Vegeta, the one whose energy is similar to hers, "Wait a minute. This person... I know her..."
"Princess?" Virgo turned her head around, "Is something wrong?"
"Could it be...?" Lucy ran to the unconscious mistress that was several inches away from Vegeta. She was laying on her stomach, but when push came to shove, Lucy turned her whole body around and it was at that moment, she knew who the person was. Shocked by the sudden reveal, her eyes couldn't stop shaking, and her pupils had shrunk, "M-Mom...?"
"Mom?" Goku, Natsu & Gray repeated.
"How is this possible? She died a long time ago..."
"That's your mom? Lucy, she looks so young." Erza said.
Lucy added, "She died at the age of twenty-nine. This doesn't make any sense. What is she doing here in this world that's not her own?"
"Perhaps King Yemma granted mercy on her and let her soul loose into the real world or something." Goku assumed.
"Who the heck is King Yemma?" Natsu & Gray simultaneously asked.
"Hmph. Enough with the idle talk!" Frieza turned on his aura, "I did not come here to chat about a dead person coming to life! I came here to kill off a monkey that can be proven to be troublesome! And I will not, I repeat, WILL NOT, let anyone get in my way!"
"Holy crap...! His energy's ridiculous!" said Gray as he was getting pushed back by Frieza's aura.
"Man, this is going to be troublesome." Goku admitted.
"I take it you have something in mind?" Virgo assumed.
Goku replied, "Yeah. Virgo, Juvia, make sure you help Lucy protect Vegeta & her mom. Erza, Natsu, Gray, you're with me."
"Right!" the team responded.
"I'm all fired up!" Natsu grinned with his shark teeth.
The Fire Dragon Slayer turned on his flaming aura and was the first to charge at Frieza. He was eager to challenge him since all he ever heard of was the stories. But with the E.M.P. taking away Frieza's energy, too, Natsu took this opportunity to strike.
He pulled his clenched fired, right fist back and came close to Frieza, who for some reason didn't move at his spot. Instead, he was nice enough to let Natsu get first blood...
"Fire Dragon: Iron Fist!"
The first blood that led to Frieza getting punched in the face sparked a crater under their feet, to which, let to a wind force that broke out. And for Natsu to land an unexpected blow on Frieza, it sparked a wave of shock to Goku & the others as it was going around the room...
"Heh! First blood and I got him to bleed! Te-hahaha!"
"Hmph." Frieza glared at him, disappointed, "Don't got cocky because you landed first blow."
The Tyrant paid back Natsu with a full on right punch to Natsu's abdomen, causing him to spew out blood. The impact in Frieza's punch had caused Natsu to lose his pupils for a slight second. Afterwards, he kicked him back to Goku & the others to where Goku caught him in his arms in the same way he caught SSJ Vegeta in the Return of Cooler movie...
"Natsu! Are you okay?" Erza asked, concerned.
"Gah, yeah. Frieza's blows felt as though u got hit by Goku's Spirit Bomb over a thousand times..." Natsu answered, later getting out of Goku's arms.
"Ohohoho! So, where's that cockiness from earlier, Dragneel? Did Goku's monkey personality led to the disintegration of your brain in not letting you think before you speak? Surely, this isn't the full extent of your power, is it?"
"Kch, shut up, you annoying lizard." Natsu wipes the blood off his mouth, "I'm just getting warmed up."
"Oh? Well then..."
Frieza's tail slapped the ground harshly as his aura was still present. With both his hands out, he placed his arms away from each other, in opposite ends, aligned his feet together, and entered in his trademarked pose, the Frieza pose. And the Ginyu Force appeared behind him as his faithful subordinates. His red eyes glows...
"With this many people present, I'd say it's a group battle. Shall we commence...?"
End of Chapter 43...
A/N: Well, well, well, it looks like Layla Heartfilia is finally introduce. Oh, and I know I said that Jenny would wake up, but I lied lol. Next chapter she will, I promised. Be honest here, guys, did it feel like I covered a lot of materials from the game? You know, 21 revealed to be the mastermind, the death of 16, and the confrontation of Frieza as he came close to killing Vegeta?
Seems like I did. And as I said like chapter, this arc will end in 10 chapters which means we have 9 left! Since we have 9 chapters left to end this arc, I've got to put more words with each release of the next chapter. So... a new chapter of DBSxFT will probably come with, like, 15k words? Possibility more? I have to push out more words, so forgive me if I take so long to update this story.
twisterblake2015: Ty.
fanfictionboy1998: Ty, ty.
dbzclassicman: ty, ty, ty.
supersaiyanman290: ty, ty, ty, ty.
Glock: She is, indeed. Cooler won't get his Golden form until later on, where he gets his own arc. I have something special for that when I come to making it. As for Lucy's mom, she's finally here! Also, I have been considering doing fusions on rather Fairy Tail or the villains, it depends.
666: Dokkan & I have a love & hate relationship lol. The SDBH characters are so busted I wish they would get nerfed lol. I'm not joking, btw.
RogerGoken2003: Oh, no, you're good! But yeah, I'm just as eager as you to get to the Black Arc. There are going to be major changes I hope would suit to your liking.
STAND UP PROUD: I'll still upload for this story, it'll just take a while since every Ch upload is going to be over 15k words or more, assumingly.
Dbz fan: The feelings mutual, my friend. For the Goku Black Arc, there's so many things I could do with it. I'm just anxious to put so many freakin' ideas to that Arc, it's not even funny. For the retcon, I'm not sure. I'll still think about because the one hour thing for the Potara is complete bs, if you ask me.
WhereThe PartyAt: Goku Black is daddy, even though he's technically Zamasu.
GeoNovaWraith: GokuxMirajane? GoMi? MiGo? Ship names for the two, lol. And ty. Let's hope I can, friend.
Guest: Crazy idea, but I might reconsider it. For Towa to be in the harem, I could add her, but if I were to, I would make her do rape scenes to Goku 'cause she's a demon and all.
Guest: The next chapter's here!
Guest: I just wanted to taste something, that's all. Should be Rated M now.
Guest: I'm well aware of the multipliers for the SSJ transformation. I'm just dishing out what's given for the direction of the story. Also, I did not know that about Raditz. Nice to know. And ty! You're awesome, too.
Guest: I never watched Demon Slayer. I know about Tanjiro and that demon girl, but that's basically it. Sorry :(
Later.
A/N: For real, for real, Jenny will wake up NEXT chapter. You all have my word.
