Chapter 29 – "An unprecedented reversal of fortune! The gods fall."
Bursting from the lookout…
When the door opened to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Pan and Bulla could sense the world outside again. Pan picked up on several energy fluctuations at once and Bulla caught on a split second afterwards.
"Let's go!" Bulla said and they both powered up, flying straight out the door and off the lookout. Trunks and Goten wanted them to wait first but the girls were long gone before they even reached the middle of the lookout's main area.
"Good luck you two," Goten said and Trunks walked over to the edge, closing his eyes. They widened when he could sense Choi's incredible power and began looking around for the rest of the fighters and frowned.
"Whatever they're fighting down there, I hope Bulla and Pan can pull it off or at least give them a hand," he said. When he walked back to Goten, Dende and Mr. Popo were there with him.
"I'll stand by in case they need anyone healed," the god of the earth told them and Goten nodded with a smile, turning to Trunks.
"Do you want another shot at that android, Trunks?" Goten asked and Trunks looked like he wasn't all that interested in the fight to say anything. He put his hands in his pockets and began walking around the lookout. Goten wanted to say something but nothing came to mind, rubbing the back of his head. He glanced over at Dende and Popo.
"He's had a rough time this year," he told them and Dende chuckled a bit.
"Some years can be more difficult than others, but there's always the opportunity to bounce back from what brings you down. You just need to keep an open mind and have faith that things will get better," the god told him and Goten nodded.
"Fusion training went well?" Popo asked him and Goten grinned. He flashed him a thumbs up and the two were glad to see Goten's enthusiastic reaction.
Pan powered up to increase her speed and Bulla joined her in her Super Saiyan state as they made it to Gohan's group within seconds and they landed on the ground. Bulla gasped as she saw Bok's unconscious body and powered back down to her base form, running to join them. Gohan and Pan's eyes met and he nodded. Pan took a look at the senzu beans in her bag, counting them all. She gave one to Gohan, then split one in half for herself and Bulla to replenish their stamina and Gohan split the bean in two, giving one half to Uub while the other he placed in Bok's mouth but he wasn't chewing it down. Bulla tightened her mouth and put her hair up with an elastic, reaching down to take the bean and put it in her mouth.
"Bulla, what are you doing?" Pan asked and Bulla broke it down in her mouth. She knelt down and fed it to Bok through mouth transfer and it did the trick as Bok was able to swallow it now and he came to, opening his eyes.
"Bulla?" he said and she smiled down at him, but not before smacking him on the back of the head. Bok gritted his teeth as he held his head and Bulla scowled at him.
"You idiot! Why did you go and get yourself damaged that much? Is your life really not that important?!" she yelled, standing up. Bok rubbed the side of his head and she held out a hand to help him back to his feet. She then wrapped her arms around him and he looked down at her, confused.
"I don't understand what's going on here," he said and both Gohan and Uub chuckled a bit. Pan walked over to Uub and spotted Choi and Tundral continue their fierce fight and she wore a determined face. She untied the bag from her belt and handed it over to Gohan, who took a senzu bean out from inside to give it to Piccolo.
"Dad?" Pan said and Gohan stopped a moment.
"Are you sure you're okay with Bulla and I fighting that android?"
"What's this all of a sudden?" Gohan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I mean, you're the strongest one other than Grandpa and Vegeta. I'm wondering if you're holding back on him for our sake."
She was glad Bok didn't hear her exclude Broly but Gohan chuckled a bit and put a hand on her head.
"If I knew there were no other options, your dad would've fought with all his strength against him. This is our planet to protect and we defend it together. But if you believe that you and Bulla have the strength to take him down, then do it. We've damaged him quite a bit so far so I have no doubt now we have all that we need to destroy him."
Bulla and Bok made their way to them and Gohan clenched a fist in front of them, smiling. "If you two want to fight him that badly, then I won't hold you back. Just be careful and don't fight recklessly. Stand down if you feel the fight will be too much for the both of you."
"We'll be careful, dad. Ready Bulla?"
"You betcha," Bulla said and the girls took their position. Gohan walked over to Piccolo and he was still in and out of it, slipping out of consciousness occasionally but he recognized the senzu bean when he saw it and ate it when Gohan put it in his mouth. He wiped some of the dried blood from the side of his head and stared up at Choi and Tundral, gritting his teeth.
"He's a freak," he said. 17 noticed that those around him were back on their feet and he let go of his barriers, turning to face them.
"Who're they?" he asked.
"That's my daughter, Pan and her friend Bulla, daughter of Bulma and Vegeta," Gohan said and the android nodded.
Uub rushed over to Pan for a moment.
"Was your training successful?" he asked and the girls both smiled at each other.
"Of course! We're taking this android down," Bulla said and Bok's eyes widened.
"Wait, what?" he asked and the girls took up a position a couple meters apart, staring at each other. Uub cleared the way for the girls to perform the fusion dance and Bok raised his hand in protest.
"But Choi's still up there fighting that android," he added and Pan smirked.
"He can take it easy now that we're here. Let's do this, Bulla." she turned to her friend.
"Right."
They raised their arms just as they had practiced countless times for the short amount of time they spent in the chamber and they powered up to sync their energy.
"Fuuuuu," the two began, moving in perfect unison as they started the movements for the fusion dance and all eyes were on them now.
"Sion!" they cried, mimicking the second part with ease, then they moved their arms towards each other, fingers touching exactly where they should and they both cried "Ha!"
A bright flash of light, bright enough to draw Tundral's attention, illuminated the island below and he had to block more punches from Choi until he grabbed him by the neck.
"You've done enough, you meddlesome brat," he said, his eyes narrowing. Choi growled and squirmed, flailing his legs to try and kick Tundral but the android's arm length kept him at a distance. He let him go and Choi went in for a heavy punch but was hit in the gut with a hard kick from Tundral.
"You're no longer fun to play with. Go take a time out and drink your mommy's milk," he told the boy and fired a huge energy blast that knocked Choi away and into the island below, and Bok reacted with horror on his face.
"Choi!" he screamed but Gohan held him back with a hand on his shoulder.
"Wait!"
Bok glared back at him and Gohan shook his head.
"Wait for an opening," he told him and Bok could see that the light was fading and the fused form of Bulla and Pan could be seen from their silhouette and those who could sense energy gawked at her. Gohan was especially surprised to sense that their fusion had a greater deal of power than Gotenks and a grin formed on his face. Those two have been training non stop for months, it only makes sense that they have this much power.
Bulpan stood with her arms on her hips, dressed in the same clothing as a fused warrior would wear but had an additional black crop top under her black vest with yellow trimmings. Her hair was a shoulder-length mix of turquoise with black tips and she took a deep breath, hands on her hips.
"Ah, it feels good to breathe some good air again," she said in her dual voice. She took to the air and stared at Tundral with a frown on her face and made a high speed burst to meet the android face to face. Tundral studied her carefully and was a bit confused.
"Haven't I seen something like this before?" he asked and then he started laughing.
"Of course! The last one that had clothing like that was obliterated before I transformed! What makes you think you'll do any better?"
"Because I will," she said from behind him and his eyes widened. He could see Bulpan directly in front of him but glanced to see another copy of her right behind him.
"When did she? I couldn't even see her use Pan's split form technique!" Bok shouted.
Tundral went for a swipe from his arm to attack the copy behind him and it disappeared.
"An afterimage?" Gohan queried and Bulpan grinned as she kicked Tundral hard in the stomach, winding him and he went for a heavy punch that she dodged and returned with an uppercut to his jaw, followed by a roundhouse kick to send him crashing into a plateau on an island below. She cracked her knuckles and waited for him to burst from the rubble and he screamed as he flew up to her. He started throwing punches that were dodged and blocked, Bulpan hitting him back with another carefully placed kick to his stomach, with a few more punches that connected with his head and chest and he was rocked back from each impact. Growling, he fired off an omni-directional sonic wave and Bulpan's eyes widened a bit.
"Pan! Bulla! Get out of the range of his sonic attack!" Gohan yelled up at them and Bulpan grinned.
"Sonic, eh? How's this for sonic?" she said and took a deep breath. She unfurled a screech from her mouth so intense that it was even larger than Tundral's sonic wave and it blew through it and through him. Everyone covered their ears as she screamed and Piccolo fell to one knee, crying out in even more pain.
Tundral withstood and howled as the distortion tore into him and he powered up. He fired off a huge energy ball at Bulpan, putting a stop to her screeching. She put her hands up to stop the ball and Tundral fired several more energy blasts to increase its size to the point it ruptured and exploded, the energy enveloping Bulpan and Uub, and Bok stared on in horror. Gohan swallowed, frowning up at Tundral.
"No!" Bok shouted. Piccolo shook his head to recover his senses and he stood up, growling at the destruction. He hoped that this wasn't the worst case scenario and he waited for the smoke to clear. Bok's senses picked up on Choi's energy and he glanced over in the direction of the source.
"I can sense Choi's energy!" he said and took off towards him, figuring this was a good opportunity to go and bring his brother back to the group.
When the smoke cleared, Tundral glared at Bulpan as she stretched her arms out, playfully putting them behind her back and she grinned at him.
"That was fun but I think I might have a sore throat after that for a while," she said, moving her bottom jaw around, rubbing it with her hand. Tundral growled and clenched his hands, firing off several energy blasts at Bulpan that collided against her and she still stood there floating in the air after the smoke cleared, staring at him with a serious expression.
"Why you!" Tundral barked and Bulpan flew up slowly towards him.
"You seem to be in a pickle Mr. android. And I haven't even transformed yet," she told him and Tundral's eyes widened.
"What?!"
Chuckling a bit, Bulpan yelled as she powered up into her Super Saiyan state and brought her hands forward, conjuring up a large sized blue sphere of energy.
"Ultra Big Bang Attack!" she screamed and fired it at Tundral, who screamed from the impact. The energy output from the explosion cascaded down towards everyone else and everyone but Gohan had to shield their faces from the blowing winds. That's it, you've got him. Now it's time to finish the job.
When the smoke cleared, Tundral had his arms in front of him to protect himself from the attack and Bulpan rubbed her nose, chuckling a bit.
"There's more where that came from," she said and Gohan frowned.
"Bulla! Pan! Don't play around anymore! Finish him off now!" Gohan shouted and Bulpan glanced down.
"It's Bulpan! Call us Bulpan!" she shouted back down at him and Gohan had to correct himself.
"Bulpan! You can't drag this on for too long or you'll use up your fusion time! Finish him now before it's too late!"
"Yeah yeah, we know, we know," Bulpan waved at him and she shrugged her shoulders at Tundral, who looked heavily damaged from her attack and he clenched his fists so tightly his nails were digging in, cutting into the skin to draw out a silvery-looking liquid.
"Uncle Freeza gave us orders to destroy the Dragonballs. What better way to destroy them than by destroying the very planet they're on!" He shouted and raised his hands up in the air, channeling a great deal of power to conjure up a huge sphere of energy and everyone gasped.
"Just like Freeza," Gohan muttered and the whole area began to shake around him. He wanted to go and finish the job himself but had a hint of optimism when he stared up at Bulpan, who cleaned out her right ear with her pinky finger and looked bored watching Tundral set up his attack.
Bok flew as fast as he could to search for Choi in the rubble and he found him after tossing a few large rocks aside. Choi was back in his base form and unconscious, his body damaged from Tundral's attacks and he draped him onto his shoulder to fly him back to the group and he watched in horror as Tundral's large sphere was growing even bigger.
"Enjoy your new lives in hell, you maggots!" Tundral screamed as he was about to fire his huge death ball and Bulpan powered up, her golden aura flaring around her. She stretched out her arms wide and began growling as she charged up energy in her hands.
"That's Vegeta's Final Flash!" Gohan shouted and Uub shot him a glance, focusing back on Bulpan. But he noticed something was different about the way she was building up the attack and he watched her bring her hands together slowly, closing her eyes to focus her power. She clasped her fingers together except for both indexes and she brought them up to her forehead, focusing the rest of the energy to the fingertips.
"What is she trying to do?" Gohan asked and Piccolo wondered if this might resemble the Special Beam Canon and he gasped once he realized that this energy was going to be pretty devastating once it collides and explodes.
"Everyone take cover!" he shouted and Gohan and Uub nodded.
Everyone flew off to a thicket of trees and rocks as Bok watched them move there and he took Choi to meet up with them. He glanced one last time at Bulpan and tightened his lips.
Bulpan brought her fingers forward and readied her attack as Tundral launched his huge death ball down at her, laughing. Bulpan aimed her hands at the center of the death ball and narrowed her eyes.
"FINAL CANON!" Bulpan shouted and a huge pillar of energy with a secondary thinner beam swirling around it shot up to the death ball and pushed it back to Tundral. She braced herself for the attack's recoil as she was pushed back a bit from firing the energy blast and she stared intensely at Tundral with gritted teeth.
"WHAT?!" he screamed and both the death ball and Bulpan's Final Canon attack enveloped him and he howled as the energy devastated his body. She kept a close watch on the destruction and the ensuing explosion caused her to shield her face with her arms and the energy was having a significant impact on the earth below. Gohan covered Bok and Choi as Uub covered Piccolo, while 17 threw up an emergency barrier just in case it was needed and the ground shook violently around them.
A few seconds went by and Bulpan frowned as Tundral emerged from the smoke when the energy subsided but his whole body was mangled and charred. A light engulfed him and it split him back into Tundra and Glacial, the two separate androids staring at her, breathing heavily before they fell to the ocean, sinking into the water. Bulpan stared down at the two and when they vanished underneath the surface of the water, she powered down to her base form and flew down to meet up with Gohan's group.
Uub was the first to greet her. "Bulpan! Th-That was amazing! I can't believe how powerful your fusion is!"
"Hey, you all roughed him up for us, so take credit for that at least," Bulpan said and Uub blushed when she glanced at him with a smile on her face. He could still make out Pan's features but Bulla's higher cheekbones gave Bulpan a different definition to her face as she brushed her hair back.
After Bok fed Choi a senzu bean, he saw that the bag was empty. "We went through the rest of the bag rather quickly," he said, tossing it to the ground.
"Well, we did need a few while we were testing out our abilities," Bulpan said, making note of the hours spent testing out what worked. They only had enough time to test it out a couple of times, eating senzu beans to recover their stamina and they saved the rest for when it was needed. After thirty minutes passed, the fusion ended and both Bulla and Pan emerged and they both smiled at each other with a thumbs up.
Bok walked up to Bulla and he held his hand up for a high-five and Bulla slapped his open palm, grinning. "Now you've got me wondering if Choi and I should learn that too," he said and Choi cleared his throat.
"We fight better separately, Bok. Don't get any stupid ideas like fusion in your head," he told him and Piccolo approached Pan.
"I guess learning the Special Beam Canon proved useful after all," he told her and Pan bowed at him and at Gohan.
"Thank you, Piccolo! Thank you, dad!" she said, tearing up and Gohan ruffled his daughter's hair.
"I'm really proud of you, Pan. Let's make sure your mom knows you're okay too," he told her and she ran to jump up into his arms, wrapping hers around him in an embrace.
"I love you, daddy," she said and Gohan chuckled, holding her tightly against him.
Then it happened.
It was so sudden no one had time to react as two thin beams pierced both Pan and Gohan through their upper body, causing them to gasp in shock. The force sent Pan crashing forward on top of Gohan and they fell to the ground.
"PAN!" Uub shouted and he ran to the two of them. Piccolo gaped in horror as he turned to see both Tundra and Glacial standing there, water dripping from their charred bodies and their breathing looked heavy. Glacial began laughing maniacally as Bulla screamed with tears in her eyes and powered up directly to her Super Saiyan 2 form, surprising both Bok and Choi and she positioned herself as she flew towards her to fire a Galick Gun and she vaporized the android completely as she was still laughing. Piccolo finished off Tundra with a Masenko beam and Uub moved Pan off of Gohan.
"U-Uub…where did it hit her?" Gohan grunted as he tried to sit up. Two holes were on his chest but he was fortunate that they both avoided vital organs. Pan wasn't as fortunate as there was one hole in the middle of her chest and another where her heart was located and Uub gasped.
"Give me a senzu, quickly!" he cried, tears forming in his eyes and Bok looked back in horror.
"We…used up the last of them," he said and Uub stared back, despondent.
"No, no, no! Not like this…" he whispered and put two fingers to his forehead, sensing Dende's energy and he teleported Pan with him to the lookout.
When he appeared, he frantically ran towards him. "DENDE!"
Holding Pan tightly against him, he almost tripped and fell and quickly knelt down on his knees to place Pan on the ground in front of him and Dende quickly rushed to them. Goten and Trunks were shocked to see Uub appear and Goten gasped when he saw his niece's unconscious form being carried in his arms, panic on Uub's face.
Dende quickly placed his hands on Pan's body and channeled his power, showering her with a warm golden glow as his power closed the holes in Pan's body and healing the rupture to her heart and lungs. When he finished, Uub felt a great deal of relief wash over him as Pan's eyes no longer looked glazed over and she blinked, staring up at Uub.
"Uub?" she said quietly and Uub wrapped her tightly in an embrace, sobbing against her face.
"Thank goodness. Thank goodness I made it in time," he said through sobs and Pan closed her eyes, putting her hands on his arms and wrapping her own arms around him. They stayed like this for a while as Dende breathed a sigh of relief, standing up and both Goten and Trunks looked relieved as well.
After the androids were finished for good, Bulla still stood in her Super Saiyan 2 form and she clenched her fists but was struggling to contain her emotions. Bok approached her cautiously.
"Bulla?"
"I couldn't sense them. I didn't know. I didn't know…" she whispered, falling to her knees. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed as Piccolo helped Gohan to his feet.
"Did Uub make it in time?" Piccolo asked and Gohan closed his eyes.
"He's up there with Dende. Please be on time," Gohan whispered and closed his eyes to focus on the lookout, despite struggling against the pain in his upper chest.
A few seconds passed and Gohan's mouth curved in a smile, opening his eyes.
"He did it," he said and Piccolo sighed in relief. Gohan felt like he could stand up and nodded to him.
"I'll be fine, I can still stand and fly," he said and walked over to Bulla, who was still bawling on the ground, gripping clumps of dirt in her fists and he knelt down to put a hand on her back.
"It's okay, Pan's back. Uub got her to Dende in time," he said and Bulla quickly looked at him, sniffling.
"Are you sure?"
"You can sense her energy for yourself," he said, smiling down at her and Bulla's eyes lit up, gasping. She blinked back more tears as a grin appeared on her face and she laughed a bit.
"Gohan, please keep this from Pan, I don't want her to think I'm as big a crybaby as she is," Bulla said, chuckling a bit as she stood back up and she wiped her face. Glancing at Bok and Choi, she took a deep breath.
"Excuse me a moment," she said and walked over to Bok. Taking his face in her hands, she kissed him on the lips and Choi's eyes widened in surprise. Bok stood there for a moment, completely dumbfounded and she parted her lips from his, walking away.
"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Bok asked out loud and Choi stood beside him.
"Is that that girl thing mom talks about sometimes?" Choi wondered and Bok shook his head. He shrugged and glanced behind him at Bulla, who gave him a look that made him blush a bit and she approached android 17.
"I'm sorry for what happened here. I know where the Dragonballs are and we can ask Shenron to fix the damage."
"Thank you for the offer but I'll decline. Save those for something more important," he said and Bulla nodded.
"The animals here are quite resilient and will hide when they sense danger. They still have a place to call home, no matter how roughed up." He still had on a confident face but Bulla knew that this was difficult for him to take in and he took to the air to survey the damage. Bulla grinned, brushing her hair back. She tied it up and ran back to the group.
"I'm going to meet Pan and Uub," she said and Piccolo nodded.
"We'll join you. Gohan could use Dende's healing as well," he said and Gohan nodded. Bulla turned to Bok and Choi.
"You're welcome to join us, Bok," she said while ignoring Choi and the twins looked at each other a moment.
"Mom's probably worried sick about us," Bok told her.
"And Uncle Lemo's probably making dinner by now, even though he takes forever to do it. But I'll be glad to eat something at least," said Choi and Bok and Bulla looked at each other for a moment before she waved at him.
"I'll see you around," she told him and they all flew to the air. Choi stared out into the ocean.
"Hey, Choi?" Bok started but Choi waved him off.
"I'm fine, if you're wondering."
"You're not upset that you couldn't beat that android?" Bok wondered.
"I couldn't care less about some garbage robot. He wasn't much of a challenge. The one I really want to defeat is Uub. I owe him from the Tournament and I mean to knock him down."
Bok frowned and took to the air, flying back to Metro West. "Hurry up or I'm leaving you behind!"
"Hey!" Choi shouted and he quickly caught up to him as the boys returned to Capsule Corporation.
Evolution…
Golden Freeza flew around firing consecutive energy blasts that rocked the landscape as Goku dodged them at the last moment. He moved around in bursts of speed to get in on Freeza but he too was moving around just as fast. The two clashed and they were throwing rapid punches at one another, flying around the planet.
Broly was staring to gain the upper hand on Cooler after their battle heated up and the ice-demon started feeling it, glaring at Broly. He took a double-axe punch that sent him crashing into the ground. Bursting from the rubble, he stood up and stared at the Saiyan.
"So the rumors about you being the Saiyan of Legend were more than just conjecture," he said, dusting himself off. Powering up again, he flew up to Broly and the two continued their brawl. Broly took a punch to the gut but returned one of his own and they were both hitting each other with heavy punches and kicks. Broly sent Cooler back with another mouth blast that streamed like a jet of fire and Cooler put his hands up to block most of it, even though it was putting a great deal of pressure on him to resist it.
Broly howled again as his power grew even more, his muscles growing slightly bigger and he took a few more hits from Cooler as he flew back to him and Cooler had to start using his speed to get around him. He fired a barrage of energy beams from his eyes around Broly, who took the hits and he dived down to strike him hard in the face. Broly then grabbed Cooler's arm and threw him to the ground, stomping on his head with his foot afterwards.
"GET OFF ME!" Cooler yelled and channeled energy into a large ball that he fired up at Broly, hitting him squarely in the face. Broly staggered off of him and Cooler made a high speed burst to hit the Saiyan with hard punches to the face and gut, moving rapidly. Broly went for a haymaker but Cooler used his speed to avoid it, countering Broly with another punch to the face.
"More, more, entertain me more, you loathsome gorilla!" Cooler yelled and he stared laying more punches and kicks to Broly, yet the Saiyan started blocking them again and he grabbed Cooler by the mid-section, running with him to plow him against a cliff face. But Broly didn't stop, he continued driving him through the plateau entirely until they emerged from the other side and Cooler winced and felt winded from the experience. He drove an elbow down on Broly's head but he was tossed up in the air. Broly grabbed him by the legs and slammed him down on his back. Cooler stared up at Broly wide-eyed and twisted his body around to stand up and he drove a kick to Broly's face, wrapping his tail around the Saiyan's neck. He squeezed it tightly around him and aimed a finger beam at Broly.
"Die, Saiyan!" He said and fired his beam down but Broly brought up a hand to block it.
"What?!"
Broly screamed again and he overpowered Cooler's grip, forcing him to release it and Cooler clenched his fists.
"I will not be driven like this. I don't care if Freeza and that other monkey scum are still on this dustball! I have no need for this planet anymore!"
He flew up to the air and from his hand, he conjured a large sphere of orange energy rather quickly and he threw it down at Broly.
"Suffer Namek's fate for all eternity!" Cooler cried and Broly clenched his fists. Building up energy in his chest, a green sphere appeared and he fired it up at Cooler's death ball as it was careening down towards him and the planet. When the spheres struck, Broly's was gradually pushing it back and the green sphere started growing in size, absorbing the other one inside it and Cooler's eyes widened.
"No!" Cooler howled and fired more energy blasts, combining them with a larger energy beam that he fired down at Broly's sphere but they were all being pushed back up towards him. Cooler had no choice but to let it fly past him as he ducked out of the way and Broly's power overwhelmed the area, causing Cooler to actually feel nervous now.
Freeza paused to glance over at their battle and grinned. He spotted Goku flying up to him and blocked a few incoming punches, which forced Goku back when he had to block Freeza's counterpunches.
"I'd say the fight between Broly and my dear brother are making quite a dent on this new Namekian planet, wouldn't you agree?" he said, putting his hands behind his back. Goku stopped and began sensing Broly and Cooler's powers. He then grinned up at Freeza which cased him to raise an eyebrow.
"Doesn't look like that brother of yours is doing so well," he told him and Freeza simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, it is what it is, I suppose."
Goku wondered what Freeza was so confident about but decided to continue their fight. Freeza fired off a homing death beam from his finger and it forced Goku to fly away from him before it struck him directly and Freeza directed the energy beam around to keep up with Goku. He grinned and set up a purple disc from his hand and waited for Goku to fly down to him, wondering if the Saiyan was going to use the same strategy from way back in their first fight on old Namek.
Goku detected the disc in Freeza's hand and he fired a blast down at him. He put two fingers to his forehead and teleported behind Freeza.
"Gotcha!" Freeza yelled and turned around to a stunned Goku, throwing the disk at him. But it hit an afterimage and Goku had appeared elsewhere, smacking the death beam away. Freeza redirected the disc with his hand, smiling at Goku and it started chasing him around the field.
"You know this strategy won't work, Freeza! It failed the first time and you got cut in half, remember?" Goku yelled and Freeza laughed.
"Of course I remember! I never forget every single humiliation suffered at your hand!" he said and made two more energy discs that he threw at Goku, causing the three of them to follow him around. Goku frowned and used openings to attack Freeza with energy attacks to distract him but Freeza was aware of them now and destroyed the blasts as they came towards him. He brought the discs together to converge on Goku and he had to fly up out of the way as they passed each other yet they stayed on him.
Goku grunted as the discs were catching up to him and he screamed "Kaioken!", the red aura superimposing itself on his blue aura and he shouted, the pulse from his aura destroying the discs and he flew at rapid bursts to get down to Freeza, who frowned and matched it as well, powering up with a purple aura around him. The two clashed and clashed again, Freeza keeping up with Goku's added power from the Kaioken and Goku stopped.
"Times ten!" he shouted and the aura grew bigger. He thrust his hands forward and they caught Freeza in a binding technique and Freeza's eyes widened.
"What?! What is this?!"
Goku chuckled. "You're not the only one who can trap people."
Freeza growled and glared at him and Goku held him in place.
"I won't let you kill any more people on this planet, Freeza! Take you brother and get the hell out of here!"
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Freeza bellowed and his scream dissipated Goku's binding technique and he flew up to hit him in the gut with a knee, staggering him back a bit. Freeza wrapped his tail around Goku's neck and he brought his face closer to his.
"You'd have been better off staying home, Goku," Freeza told him but Goku grunted, grabbing his tail.
"I can't let you have the Dragonballs, ever!" he growled as he pushed the tail off him and Freeza released his grip. Sighing, he took a few steps back, allowing Goku a bit of breathing room. He rubbed his stomach and neck a bit and felt the Kaioken wear down on him so he let it go for now.
"Did you honestly think all of this was about the Dragonballs?" Freeza asked him and Goku looked back, confused. He turned his back on him, not caring that he was making himself open and he stood there with his hands behind his back.
"That's why you're here with your brother, aren't you?"
"The offer was initially tempting. Asking the Dragon for a ship to travel to each universe so I could capture a planet and sell it to the species of that universe. But I couldn't allow my brother to make a wish for himself, probably immortality or something ridiculous. It was a hasty decision, you see."
Goku eyed him carefully. He's hiding something else, but what is it?
Freeza turned around to face him, his expression more serious now. "I'll give you one more opportunity, Goku. Show me your Ultra Instinct technique. I want nothing more than to test that god-defying power for myself!"
Goku's eyes widened. "Is that why you lured me here?!"
Freeza grinned in response. "Partially."
Goku paused for a moment, then he grinned. "Fine, if you're really that interested in seeing Ultra Instinct."
Goku closed his eyes, focusing his power. He started diving deep into his memories of the time he trained to unlock the ability to tap into the form at will. He continued to focus his power but something was blocking him and he opened his eyes, confused.
"Hm? Are we having performance anxiety?" Freeza chuckled and Goku looked down at his hands.
"Something's wrong."
Freeza grinned. "Well that's too bad, isn't it? Did you forget how you did it after so long?"
"That's not it! I know how to tap into it but my body…my body's not responding!"
"Ho? That is interesting," Freeza said, hand to his chin and he shrugged. "Oh well, I guess it was never meant to be then."
"Dammit, this doesn't make sense! Why won't my body respond to Ultra Instinct?!" Goku cried and he started feeling nervous now. He clenched his fists and growled. Freeza cracked his neck and floated up to the air, drawing Goku's attention.
"I was going to save this as a response to Ultra Instinct but since you've been a disappointment this fight, I might as well send you to hell with my glorious present anyway!"
"What?!" Goku cried and he looked at Freeza, fear creeping up inside him. "What is he doing?"
Freeza powered up again and he unleashed a blinding flash of light as he screamed. A pillar of light emerged around him as Goku shielded his eyes and felt an incredible power blew against him.
"What kind of power is this?!" Goku yelled and he was almost blown back from the force of the energy Freeza was emitting.
Elsewhere, the remaining Namekians who were still able to hold on despite their loss of numbers, stared on in sheer terror at the pillar of light in the distance. Even Cooler and Broly had to stop.
"What is he up to now?" Cooler muttered and Broly growled, willing to fly off but Cooler quickly made a high speed burst to appear in front of him.
"Your fight's still with me, Saiyan!" Cooler shouted and Broly howled as the two continued their fight.
The light pillar faded and shrunk into Freeza and when the glow around him ceased, Goku's face looked at him in horror.
Freeza's body had the same form and curvature but it was like one large crystal, somewhat translucent as Goku could see himself and the landscape slightly reflected off the surface. Freeza's eyes were glossed over without any pupils and his facial features were almost merged together with whatever this glass-like crystal form was. Goku could barely make out the smile on the tyrant's face as he floated back down to land in front of him.
What do you think?
Goku gasped as Freeza's mouth didn't move. He had trouble believing it was possible to see a new transformation from Freeza.
Even I admit I wasn't aware there was yet another plateau to climb. The limit breaking strength I witnessed at the Tournament of Power made me curious enough to see whether I could achieve it myself.
Freeza took a couple of steps towards Goku and he had to stand back a moment out of instinct.
I discovered this during my mental training some time ago while you Saiyans were off playing around your planet. I like to call this "Crystal Freeza".
"Crystal Freeza?" Goku muttered and Freeza grinned again.
I wanted to be absolutely sure that I understood this power before I used it on anyone. If I were to ever face Jiren or you in your Ultra Instinct, I needed a form suitable to defy your limit breaking potential and I sincerely hope I don't disappoint you.
I can't sense his energy anymore, Goku thought to himself as Freeza kept walking towards him. He took up a fighting pose and steeled his nerves to focus again. Freeza moved so fast that Goku couldn't react in time and his fist stopped short of hitting Goku in the face.
You can't sense my movements, can you?
Goku gritted his teeth and teleported to gain some distance and Freeza lowered his fist.
All of my power has been converted into my physical body, making those energy detection techniques you rely on so much completely useless.
"Dammit," Goku muttered. He wasn't sure how to approach him now, stepping around cautiously as Freeza stared at him and he swallowed. Taking a risk, he burst forward and went for a punch but Freeza moved his hand to catch Goku's fist. He went up for a kick in response and Goku had to quickly catch it, launching himself to the air.
Freeza leapt up in pursuit and Goku fired off energy blasts that deflected off the crystal-like skin of Freeza and he grunted, flying to gain some distance.
If I leave with Broly now, I have to deal with his berserk state back on Earth and he won't stop until everything's destroyed, he thought as he stared off in the distance at the battle between Cooler and Broly and he cupped his hands together. Freeza stopped and flew back down to land on the ground. He crossed his arms, staring up at Goku.
"Is he daring me to fire down at him?" he said and wanted to employ the same strategy he had used against Cell long ago with a warp Kamehameha but the way Freeza was standing there staring up at him confidently made him start to second-guess himself. Goku couldn't help but laugh nervously a bit now.
"I almost want to blame myself for spending so much time training Uub but right now I can't believe Freeza was training himself this much over the years. He's thought this whole thing through."
Goku lowered his hands and flew down to the ground in front of Freeza.
Giving up so soon?
"I ain't giving up. I'll find a way around this," he said. If I could just get my body to cooperate and tap into Ultra Instinct!
Freeza frowned for the first time since he transformed.
I'm afraid your time is up, Saiyan.
Goku's eyes widened as Freeza made his move and his face was hit with a punch he had never felt before. He remembered every single punch he ever took from some of the strongest fighters he'd met in the past, but those paled in comparison to the force that came from Freeza. He clutched his jaw with his hands, blood seeping from inside and he started feeling dizzy. It was making him feel nauseated and he wanted to throw up, all from a single punch and he stared wide-eyed at Freeza. He tried to speak but his jaw was damaged too much to get a single word out and he glared at him. Clenching his fist, he growled through his mouth as he flew to him but Freeza wasn't moving. He powered up to his highest, Kaioken times twenty, using all what he could conjure for just one punch and he aimed it squarely at Freeza's head. He didn't care that Freeza wasn't moving and his punch connected but the shockwave from the hit recoiled throughout his body and he felt his hand and arm go numb within seconds. His right arm was no longer useful as it drooped down in front of him and he couldn't even close his hand anymore. Every bone in his arm was cracked and broken from the impact against his fist and Goku grabbed the shattered arm as he stared at Freeza. He didn't know what to do now and having him stand in front of him gave him no window to even begin contemplating drawing energy for a Spirit Bomb and he pleaded with his body to help him tap into Ultra Instinct but nothing was happening and he wanted to scream.
The fall…
Kelerot and Beerus were firing energy blasts at each other simultaneously, each one connecting with the other. He still had a smile on his face as the two flew across the grassy terrain and the lake ahead, Kelerot leading him on. Beerus overtook him and appeared in front of him, getting in a few shots at the Saiyan to knock him down to the ground and Kelerot corrected himself to land on his feet before he crashed and he opened and closed his fist, focusing a gravity field around the Destroyer.
Beerus grunted as he felt himself pulled down and he powered himself out of it. He flew down, spinning around to avoid Kelerot's energy blasts and he put forth a burst of speed to punch Kelerot as he passed him by, stopping on a dime right behind him to knock him on the back of the head with the back of his fist. Kelerot staggered forward and Beerus slammed him to the ground with his tail.
"What's wrong? Goku lasted far longer than this," Beerus said and Kelerot flipped around to nip back up on his feet. Dusting himself off, Kelerot opened up his hand and conjured a grey colored sphere above his hand, smiling at him.
"Tell me, Beerus. You've been around the block a few times, right?" Kelerot said, hand behind his back.
"Don't toy with me, Gardenian," Beerus said, leering at him. Kelerot's face darkened a bit before he continued smiling back at him.
"I'm a Saiyan, not a Gardenian, Beerus," Kelerot boasted.
"Is that so? Sounds odd that there wasn't a single individual in your universe who ever knew what Saiyans were until the Tournament of Power. You've always been Gardenians, right?" Beerus explained and Kelerot shot him a look.
"That wasn't until my Master Daikon showed up. When we started referring to ourselves as Saiyans, it made more sense. It made us feel stronger," Kelerot told them and Beerus was the one to give him a dangerous look.
"And what did this Master Daikon look like?" Beerus asked him and Kelerot frowned.
"What's it to you? Why does this need to be discussed? Just shut up and fight."
"Now now, we'll resume our fight, but I would like to genuinely know where Daikon came from if he's calling your people Saiyans. He wasn't from your planet, was he?"
Kelerot chuckled. "I see what game you're playing, Destroyer. You're throwing me off so I can get angry and lose control of all those powers I've acquired through delving everyone up to this point. You're afraid I might have delved you as well."
"Go ahead, I don't care. Us gods have been around so long that we've shared a lot of common knowledge together. I just find them all annoying," he said, scratching inside his long ear.
"Fine, I'll indulge you. Daikon never said where he came from, he was pretty secretive about that. His hair was black like Vegeta's and he had almond shaped eyes. He also had a beard and a very imposing look on his face."
"What was that?" Vegeta said. When Kelerot mentioned almond-shaped eyes, it triggered his memories of seeing Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale from Universe 6 and Whis noticed the reaction on his face.
"Curious," Whis said, watching Kelerot.
"Of course it's curious, Whis. How the heck does a Saiyan from the sixth universe make his way to the eleventh universe without anyone knowing about it?" Beerus asked, glancing behind him but then glared at Kelerot with a devious smile on his face. "Unless it was someone with the knowledge of Kinetic Delving that he passed down to someone."
Kelerot frowned and stared at Beerus with a scowl.
"I guess that mystery's solved. Maybe Barbon was right to destroy your planet after all. Taking out Daikon after he's been hiding on us for so long. Wait until Champa hears about this!" Beerus laughed and Kelerot's eyes widened in fury and he threw the grey sphere at Beerus. He snapped his fingers and it exploded into a miniature black hole that began pulling everything in and Whis sighed. With the tip of his staff, he sealed off the intense gravity well and gave Kelerot a look like a parent would when they want to scold their child.
"We have a few rules about destroying things on our planet, Gardenian," Beerus told him and Kelerot shot Whis a look.
"I guess you don't like my black hole bombs. Fine. But that wasn't what I used to kill Jiren with," he said and Vegeta's face lit up a bit, clenching his fists. Whis kept him back with the base of his staff, staring ahead and Beerus's aura glowed around him.
"What now, Gardenian? As long as Whis and I are in control and as long as you're on this planet, your little tricks won't work. The only option you have left is your destruc-"
Beerus didn't feel Kelerot's punch until his feet dragged along the ground, the force knocking him back and Kelerot had the same aura around him. His eyes took on the same characteristic and he conjured up destruction energy in his hands, glowering at him. Beerus shook his head and a small trickle of his blood came down from the corner of his mouth and he wiped it with the back of his hand.
"You've said enough, and I am a Saiyan like him. Calling me a Gardenian implies a weaker form of a Saiyan warrior and my strength will not be ignored," Kelerot said as he stalked towards him.
"Have you become so delusional that you're willing to shun your own planet's legacy at the drop of a hat? Or is this due to the aftereffects of Kinetic Delving?" Beerus sighed, hands behind his back.
"What?"
"Daikon didn't warn you about this? The dangers of overusing that technique?" Beerus asked, pointing a finger at him.
"He did, what's your point? He said I needed to be careful not to let the person I'm delving be aware that I'm doing it otherwise I'd leave myself open to them as well."
"Did he also mention the damage it does to you psychologically? Because we saw first hand the danger you put yourself through after delving so many people when you lost control of those abilities you copied."
Kelerot's eye twitched a bit. "I, delving was only to gain knowledge of my opponent!"
"Sounds more like you enjoyed putting your nose in other people's business without their knowledge or consent. If you ask me, that makes you a pretty pathetic mortal."
"SHUT UP!" Kelerot screamed and launched himself at Beerus with the destruction energy and Beerus swatted them out of the way to the air, punching Kelerot in the face. He went to chop him in the neck but Kelerot grabbed his hand and kicked him in the gut to send him flying back. Beerus stopped in mid-air and he fired several energy blasts down at him as he flew up to engage him. Beerus was leading him now as he threaded through the structure within the tree and Kelerot fired off energy blasts that Beerus swerved around to avoid. He flipped over and twisted his body to attack Kelerot from above but his punch was grabbed and Kelerot threw him through a support pillar. Kelerot then launched himself from inside and his face was purely focused as he flew down towards Beerus, making an energy sword from his hand. He brought it down to slice at Beerus but it was caught in the Destroyer's hands and Beerus glared up at him, baring his teeth in a grin. Kelerot's eyes flashed and Beerus reacted quickly by defending himself as Kelerot used Jiren's attack with his eyes, causing a huge explosion in the area. Kelerot smirked as he used one of the prisoner's shapeshifting abilities to change himself into Beerus and Beerus stared back at him wide-eyed. Kelerot-Beerus grinned as he flew to Beerus and the two began trading blows fiercely. Whis flicked his staff and the damage done to the building repaired itself, keeping everything intact while he and Vegeta watched the fight progress.
"I still have some delicious treats made by Lemo still left over if you'd wish to partake, Vegeta," Whis asked him, summoning the food items to him and Vegeta didn't acknowledge him, staring at the fight with his arms crossed.
"Ah here we go, I was eager to try this earlier but there was just so much food to choose from I didn't know where to start!" Whis exclaimed happily, opening up a container of delectable chocolate truffles and he eyed one like one would admire a large gem and he popped it in his mouth, smiling delightfully as he tilted his head from side to side.
"Oh! I can taste a delicious fruit filling inside! It's strawberry!" he shouted and he casually offered one to Vegeta, who glanced down at it. Swallowing, he couldn't resist the urge to try one himself and grabbed it to put it in his mouth quickly without looking at Whis and his eyes lit up as to how delicious it tasted and he almost smiled. Almost. So this must be why Bulma craves these sweets so much, especially those Strawberries.
When Whis finished the last one, Beerus was knocked back towards them and he glanced down at the empty box and glared up at Whis.
"Hey! Stop eating the rest of the food if you plan on leaving some for me, Whis!" Beerus said and Kelerot-Beerus flew in to punch him, which was caught and the two Beeruses locked hands in a test of strength that caused destruction energy to leak out from them and erode the ground underneath. Whis created a bubble around himself and Vegeta and flew them up to a ledge along the tree.
"Goodness this fight is escalating," he said and Vegeta noticed Whis was looking at him.
"The corner of your mouth," he told him and Vegeta's eyes widened a bit, licking some chocolate that was still on the corner of his mouth and he averted his eyes afterwards, sighing.
Beerus and Kelerot-Beerus let go of each other and Beerus conjured a large sphere of energy that looked like a miniature sun and he launched it down at Kelerot-Beerus. He caught it and it was pushing down on him.
"I'll be surprised if some imitation of me manages to contain that!" Beerus said, crossing his arms and Kelerot-Beerus was pushed down to the ground. He gritted his teeth and his shape started changing back to his original form.
"It seems that ability has a short time span," Whis noted and Vegeta studied Kelerot more closely.
Beerus flicked his fingers down at the sphere and it grew bigger, pushing down on Kelerot even more and the Saiyan howled, conjuring a gravity well that surrounded it and began shrinking it until the energy disappeared and Beerus clapped his hands, floating down to the ground.
"Remarkable, Gardenian. I'd expect nothing less from you. Daikon taught you well," he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice and Kelerot stared up at him, growling.
"Stop calling me that! I'm a Saiyan, I've earned that right!" Kelerot shouted and Beerus nonchalantly cleaned something out from between his teeth, spitting it out.
"Is that so? Where's your Super Saiyan form? Your tail? That disgusting lust for battle I've reluctantly grown accustomed to?"
Kelerot didn't have an answer and Beerus brought his hand up to Kelerot's face.
"I thought as much," he said and flicked his finger, sending Kelerot flying hard into the forest. He crashed through the ground and dragged along it until he almost fell off the edge of the surface to an abyss he saw had no bottom to. Vegeta frowned a bit, as something caught his attention and watched Kelerot fly back in full force. Beerus was ready for him and Kelerot stopped, conjuring Jiren's energy attack and he launched it down at Beerus with a howl.
Beerus sighed and produced a small sphere of destruction energy that he launched at the large ball of energy and it engulfed it, erasing the energy and he flew up to Kelerot. Kelerot threw a few punches that Beerus dodged and moved around and Kelerot grew flustered as he was no longer able to hit him. Beerus connected with a few hard hits to Kelerot and it sent him crashing into the ground and Vegeta lowered his arms. He got off the ledge and flew down to the ground level, followed by Whis and he watched Beerus walk over to Kelerot as he was slow to get back up, moving to his hands and knees.
"A fitting position for someone like you," Beerus said, standing before him. Kelerot was breathing a bit, chuckling, and shaking his head.
"Is there something funny?" Beerus asked.
"You've got me. I tried to topple the greatest Destroyer who ever lived and I failed. What a sad ending this has become for me," Kelerot said and Vegeta eyed him cautiously.
"Something doesn't feel right about this," he said and Whis glanced down at him.
"Are you certain?"
"Why is he giving up so easily? He barely took that much damage," Vegeta noted and stared at Beerus.
"I will admit you fought valiantly until the end, Gardenian. You've staved off my boredom for at least a little while," he said, smiling and Kelerot sighed, looking down at the ground.
"Do it then," he said, clenching his fists, bracing himself.
"Gladly," Beerus said, raising his hand, facing his palm forward with his thumb tucked in and Vegeta felt a great deal of unease in his gut.
"Lord Beerus, wait! This has to be a trap!"
"Are you trying to tell a Destroyer how to do his job, Vegeta?" Beerus asked, glaring at him and Vegeta swallowed.
"No, my Lord."
"Then mind your tongue unless you want to join him," Beerus said and leered back down at Kelerot. Vegeta couldn't contain the growing level of anxiety as he watched Kelerot closely and couldn't help but sense that Kelerot had something up his sleeve.
"Whis, this isn't right. I can't shake this feeling. Can't you stop him from destroying someone?" Vegeta asked and Whis shook his head.
"It's not in our place to obstruct a Destroyer unless he acts beyond his authority. He has every right to destroy this mortal as he sees fit."
Kelerot swallowed, a sweat bead trickling down his face. It was the waiting that was bothersome to him, waiting to see when Beerus was going to use the Hakai technique to destroy him and he cleared his mind, closing his eyes.
Beerus stared down at this mortal for a moment, feeling disgusted that he adopted a color scheme just like the other Destroyers and he felt an equal amount of dissatisfaction like he did when he destroyed Zamasu years ago. Erasing this bothersome mortal made him think he'd want to double the amount of those pudding cups Lemo had made for him, the thought of the delicious chocolate sliding down his throat almost made him stop what he was doing because he was craving them again. But he sighed and shook his head, staring down at Kelerot.
"Imagine all this work I have to do to crave pudding again. Oh well," he said and Kelerot winced, bracing himself.
"At least have the dignity to be destroyed with pride. Hakai," he said. The moment that word left his mouth, Kelerot grinned and looked up at him. A pulse shot out from Kelerot and then into Beerus and the Hakai technique he began to use on Kelerot bounced back to him and his own hand began to dissolve into purple particles slowly. Beerus's eyes lit up and he was completely stunned to see his own destruction energy destroy him.
Vegeta's face lit up in shock as he saw Beerus's hands erased, the hakai travelling up his arms. He turned to Whis in a panic.
"Whis, rewind it! Whis! WHIS!" he cried but Whis didn't respond. His staff fell out of his hand and he collapsed forward on the ground.
"It's too late, Vegeta," Beerus said, staring down at Kelerot who was looking up at him with an equally surprised look on his face, eyes wide with wonder.
On the Supreme Kai homeworld, Shinkai was reading a book while Kibito was harvesting apples from a tree, putting them in a basket he held to his side. Shinkai's body fluctuated and the book fell through his hands as he looked at them dissolving before him and his eyes widened.
"Kibito, something's wrong!" he said, staggering forward. Kibito glanced over and watched Shinkai dissolve before him, staring in complete shock.
"The potara! Hurry and take them!" the Supreme Kai shouted and Kibito ran to take them off his ears.
"Supreme Kai, what is this?! What is happening to you?!"
"Lord Beerus, he's-"
Kibito gasped and Shinkai completely dissolved away before he could say anything else, the winds carrying the purple particles in the air and Kibito stared down at the potara earrings in his hand, shaking in fear. He sank to his knees and screamed to the heavens: "SUPREME KAI!"
Beerus closed his eyes and smiled down at him. "Well played."
Those were the last words Beerus spoke before he disappeared forever, the purple particles disappearing shortly afterwards and Kelerot stood back up on his feet, holding a hand to his heart, feeling it beat heavily against his chest. Vegeta stared on in shock and horror. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed and Kelerot took a few deep breaths, sighing.
"I honestly wasn't sure whether that technique would've worked or not," he said and closed his eyes.
"Kai-kai," he said and frowned when nothing happened. "Dammit, he locked the barrier in place, that bastard."
"Wh-what did you just do?!" Vegeta asked, finally getting the words out of his mouth.
"It's the most curious thing, Vegeta. There exists a species in my universe and I met one of them while I was in prison. They have nothing special to them, as basic as they come, nor are they warriors in particular. I thought nothing of it when I delved him but the more I looked into what was inside him, the more curious it made me as to one ability this small fellow had in particular."
Kelerot looked at his hand for a moment. "They possessed the unique ability to either deflect or reflect energy back at the user. When I started learning more about the existence of the kais and the Destroyers during my time in prison, I started to wonder whether or not I could actually reflect destruction energy back onto a Destroyer. It was the only way I felt for sure I could actually destroy a God of Destruction without killing the Supreme Kai through their lifelink."
Vegeta's eyes widened, still in shock as to what he witnessed and Kelerot approached him.
"I know I shouldn't attempt this because I'm already in over my head as it is with all the people I've delved, but what would happen if I delved Whis now? What kind of power would I have if I added an angel's power to a Destroyer's and a Kai's?"
Vegeta's face exploded in fury as he stared icicles at Kelerot. "How dare you. How dare you! You're going to pay for this!"
Kelerot frowned. "You can walk away from this, Vegeta. I'm offering you the chance to go back home to your loved ones and forget this all happened. This matter of killing Toppo doesn't need to involve you and I'd rather we not come to blows over something so trivial. Besides, we're Saiyans, aren't we? We're practically family across the multiverse!"
"You bastard," Vegeta said, his power skyrocketing as his blue aura flared around him and his hair shifted to a deeper blue. "You'll never be a Saiyan. You mock everything that makes a Saiyan who they are. And for what you just did, and for what you stand for, I'll make you suffer! I'll stake the one thing you'll never have in your entire existence on it!"
"And what is that?" Kelerot asked.
"MY PRIDE!" Vegeta screamed and his power billowed out with calamitous fury as his hair changed color and it shifted from blue to purple. The muscles that were bulging from his blue form shrunk back down to the structure he had when he was using his Super Saiyan God form and Kelerot stared back in surprise.
"Th-that wasn't there when I delved him," he said, his voice shaking a bit. Vegeta shook with a purple colored aura as sparks of electricity shot out around him and particles of energy flowed up around him as he stared at Kelerot purple eyes that had black irises inside and Kelerot actually started to feel worried now.
