New chapter
I will then post a chapter of '' The best crew to find the One Piece '', and then a chapter of '' Kill the dragons hunters "
Sitting at a table, Bulma was on her balcony visualizing where Goku and the others had disappeared, when Whis had teleported them. Having remained silent for long minutes, she ended up whispering.
" Vegeta…"
Standing behind her, Yamcha asserted.
" You know very well that you worry about nothing! Seriously, apart from Goku who can defeat him ? I'm even sure Hit must dread fighting him. "
" If it could be that simple. " Said Bulma. " But even when fighting against someone much weaker, Vegeta still scares me, because he loves to put himself in danger in order to hope to become stronger after his fight. "
" And that's why he has become so strong! And that he was able to participate in the tournament. "
Sighing, noticing that he had been left behind, Yamcha noticed how his group no longer needed him to save Earth.
" As far as I can see, the fighters of universe 7 also have their families to save. "
Gasping in fear, Yamcha and Bulma turned, to see Run and Akame, quietly sitting at another table. And while Run just stared at the duo, Akame ate the food Beerus had left behind.
" Are you awake ? " Bulma frightened, remembering that Beerus had told them they would stay stunned the entire time of the tournament.
" Your god has really hit hard. " Affirmed Run. " My head still hurts! It will take me at least several days for the migraine to go away. "
" What do you want from us ? " Wanted to know Yamcha, standing in front of Bulma. " Kill us. "
" To do what ? " Run asked him. " It's not like we especially like to kill people. "
" You wanted to kill Goku. "
" We plead guilty. " Confessed Run. " But it was only for the purpose of saving our universe! There was nothing personal. "
" How dare you say that so calmly ? " Wanted to know Bulma. " Would you be willing to sacrifice your universe to save yours ? "
"That's the goal of this tournament, isn't it? " Run asked her.
" What ? "
" All the participating teams hope to be able to defeat their opponents in order to save their universe! No matter how you summarize this tournament, it is a fight where one universe must sacrifice eight universes to save its own! And on our side, we too want to save our universe. "
" I wanted to save my sister and my friends. " Akame agreed.
" Your sister ? " Yamcha wondered.
" Yes ! She also participates in the tournament. "
" And the other fighters are also our companions. " Assured Run. " Ultimately, your world and ours! If we participate in this tournament, it is not to save us, in priority! No, it's to save our loved ones and our friends. "
Not knowing what to say to his remark, Bulma saw him get up before walking to the end of the balcony. Taking advantage of the view, the man admired the city in the distance. For him, who was not used to seeing this kind of infrastructure, it was at the same time strange, frightening and fascinating.
" The technology in your world is really different from ours. "
" And your food is delicious. " Akame asserted, trying to eat the meat of a crab.
Not really knowing what to think of the duo, Yamcha asked.
" Your universe ... is it powerful ? "
" No. " Confessed Run, starting to look at the starry sky. " Compared to yours alone, I really doubt any of us will be able to defeat Goku-san! In fact, if we cheated like this to defeat him, it was because we knew in advance that we were going to lose! And now that Akame and I are here, our chances of winning are even lower. "
Remaining then motionless, the man ends up shaking slightly. Then Bulma and Yamcha heard him sob.
" What is this joke? Did he want to know, putting a hand on his face! I was supposed to fight to protect my universe and here I am, stuck here, leaving my friends to fight alone! Why ? "
Recalling his past and the slaughter of his class, the deaths of his fellow Jaegers and the misdeeds of the Wild Hunt who had been allowed to terrorize the population, Run ended up asking.
" Why does God act like this? Why prevent the innocent from living their lives in peace? Why doesn't he leave them alone? What did people in my universe do wrong to be tortured like this? "
Surprised, Yamcha let him cry out his pain without saying anything.
For her part, feeling even more scared to realize that Run was as anxious as she was, Bulma now understood that she was far from the only one caring about the outcome of this tournament. No matter what, eight universes were going to perish before the end of the hour.
" Vegeta… Vegeta… VEGETA ! "
Standing at the edge of the pitch, Saitama stared into the bottomless void in front of him.
" It's scary. " He asserted, in a tone of annoyance, as well as slightly serious.
Still holding Vegeta by his leg, he brought the saiyan's body closer to the void, before declaring.
" That is nothing personal! But if you had listened to me, you could have had the idea to fight me by being helped by Giku! Like that, you could have had a chance to defeat me. "
Then he threw Vegeta's body out of the void.
" Goodbye, saiyan. "
Yet the moment he let go of Vegeta's leg, he felt his arm grab.
" What … ? "
With his feet above the void, Vegeta was clinging to Saitama's arm so as not to fall. Breathing with difficulty, he began to cough up the blood that was stuck in his throat.
" This ... It's not over! I… I can still fight. "
" You are still aware! You are strong ! But what good would it be for you to insist? Do you think you can beat me? "
For only answer, Vegeta bent his legs, before unfolding them in the direction of Saitama's abdomen. Placing his arm in front of his stomach to protect it, the hero nonetheless felt himself recoil somewhat, under the impact. Letting go, Vegeta found himself falling into the void. Still, holding out his hands, he had no trouble gripping the edges of the pitch. Pulling himself up onto the arena, he saw Saitama standing there, only looking at him. Despite his last gesture, Vegeta was far from being considered a threat by the hero.
" Are you still standing? "
" Motherfucker. " Roared Vegeta. " I will never forgive you. "
" About what ? Hit you? "
" No. " Vegeta retorted, gritting his teeth." Earlier, you dared to say that my motivation was lower than that of Goku or yours. "
Suddenly Saitama saw him clench his fists. Then, the hero heard Vegeta's teeth crack so much the pressure he exerted on his jaws was immense. Thinking of Bulma and her children, as well as her life on Earth, Vegeta finally asserts.
" My will to save my family will not be weaker than that of Goku! Do you hear me ? "
" Hum? "
" Yes ! I admit that before, the only motivation I had to become stronger, was only to become the most powerful warrior in my universe and finally surpass the strength of Goku! But all of this is a thing of the past! If I participate in this tournament, it is only to save my family. "
Getting into a fighting stance, he whispered.
" Bulma… Trunks… Bra… I would never get eliminated from this tournament, until I did everything to ensure a future for them! AHHHHHHH ! "
Forcing his body to overstep its limits, Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan.
" It left for the second round. "
Seeing him fly towards him, Saitama just dodged his first punches, before finally punching him in the stomach. Vomiting blood again, the Saiyan was about to pass out. Still, gritting his teeth, he aimed his fist at Saitama's face and punched him in the face.
Feeling Vegeta's attack force him to pull his head back, Saitama looked astonished.
" What … ? "
Continuing to attack him, Vegeta forced him to be on the defensive. Crossing his arms, Saitama watched him increase the speed of his punches. Then, Vegeta managed to transform into SS2, and hit Saitama in the face again. Finding himself on the ground, Saitama stayed there for a few seconds.
Then, finally, he rose to his feet in an instant, with a simple mark on his face.
" You seem stronger to me than before. "
" It's the strength of my will! Assured Vegeta, his fist still clenched! Fighting someone who threatens the future of my family always makes me stronger. "
At that moment, Saitama's face softened somewhat, as he flashed a slight smile.
" Interesting! Then let me show you my heroic will too. "
" LIGHTNING CRUSH ! "
Seeing the sphere of lightning rush at him, Genos used his thrusters to increase his speed allowing him to avoid the attack. Seeing him soar in the air, Budo created multitudes of small spheres of lightning around him, which he sent heading towards Genos. Seeing the many attacks, the cyborg again used his thrusters to dodge them.
Nevertheless, avoiding the first ones with ease, he noticed that they soon came to a stop, to return in his direction. Being attacked in all directions, Genos tried to flee, but was pursued by the attacks.
Still on the ground, Budo was moving his hands, as he seemed to be able to perfectly control his lightning spheres.
" You will not be able to flee indefinitely. "
Indeed, again avoiding a sphere, Genos ends up feeling one of them strike him on the back, electrocuting him.
" AHHHHHH ! "
Immediately, Budo moved both hands towards him, ordering all the other spheres to strike him. However, recovering in time, Genos concentrated and managed to open the palms of his hands, to bring out the end of two laser cannons. Immediately two laser beams hit Budo's attacks, pulverizing them.
" What now ? " The former general wondered.
Suddenly, propelling himself towards him, Genos put his hands on his chest before screaming. Looking frightened, Budo saw a ball of energy forming in his hands, before pressing against his chest.
" CANNON GENERATOR BOMB ! "
Immediately, his energetic sphere transformed into a powerful breaking wave that threw Budo backwards, before crashing him into the wall of a cliff, which was shattered into pieces.
" I do not believe it. " Rô cried.
" Budo really just lost a power duel ? " Leone wondered.
" HAHAHAHA! That's good, Genos. " Cried Quitela. " I recognize the power of Saitama's disciple. "
For his part, remaining motionless, Genos cried out.
" I heard that you were part of the top 3 of the best warriors in your universe! So don't tell me that an attack like this has already defeated you. "
Immediately, lightning appeared between the stone debris, eventually pulverizing them. Releasing from the landslide, Budo stood up, declaring.
" You are really far from being bad! Maybe still a little impulsive! However, you are young, you still have time to gain wisdom. "
" Sorry! But I only listen to my master's advice. "
" Hum? It's up to you! Either way, I'm not here to save you! I must save my universe. "
" Oh ? So despite my master's exploits, do you still think you can defeat him? "
" I have no other choice if I want to win this tournament and bring the dragon balls back with us. "
" What are you going to do with it? "
" Nothing at all. " Affirmed Budo. " I don't even intend to use them to resuscitate myself. "
" Sorry ? "
" In my universe, when I was alive, I was responsible for helping a person to become a good emperor in order to ensure the maintenance of peace in the empire where I lived! Nonetheless, I failed, letting a treacherous and dishonest being control the Emperor into a puppet! I noticed it and yet I did nothing to stop it! Worse yet, I tried to help this treacherous man carry out these plans by fighting a group of people who were trying to stop him! If I had done the right thing, as a human I could have saved many lives. "
" So, is that why you refuse to be resuscitated? "
" Yes ! I don't have the right! I have made too many mistakes! That's why I prefer to stay in the hells of my universe, where I can help Enma-san deal with the wayward inmates who are locked there! This is the only way I have found to redeem myself. "
Listening to him without saying anything, Genos finally affirms.
" I am sorry. "
" Sorry for what ? "
" I believed, fighting you, that you were a warrior! But in the end, I was wrong! You are nothing but a pathetic loser. "
" Sorry ? " Roared the old general.
" You think you are acting like a respectable warrior by behaving like this! Sorry, but I just seem to hear the words of a coward. "
Angered by his words, Budo ran towards him, while covering his fists with lightning. Getting into a boxing stance, Genos let him come before he started punching him. Imitating him, Budo began a new struggle with the cyborg, during which their arms moved so fast that they seemed to disappear. In addition, many shockwaves appeared around the warriors, with each impact of their fists.
" How does this guy match Genos' robotic power? " Wanted to know Kitela.
" Brute force may be greater than that of technology. " Camperri remarked.
" Come on, Budo. " Rô encouraged him, pretending to hit someone. " Uppercut! Punch left! Uppercut! Hit the chin! "
Much calmer, Najenda watched Genos' movements.
" He has a level of attack power similar to that of Budo. "
" That is a lot of power. " Sidra asserted. " No wonder from a man who changed his body to get stronger. "
" It's not just power. " Suddenly retorted Mojito.
Staring at the two warriors, the angel saw them attack each other without seeking for a single second to protect themselves from the attacks of the other. Striking each other with force, they uttered long war cries, to the point of destroying their vocal cords.
" Their will to want to win this fight is strong! Nevertheless, it is much more intense in one of them. "
Eventually, an overpowered punch from Genos forced Budo's feet to slide back.
" It's useless. " Affirmed the cyborg, who seemed barely out of breath after this sequence. " I have already told you ! No matter how hard you try, your will to fight is much weaker than mine! You are only a coward, who is in no way worthy to face my master. "
Angered by his words, Budo activated his teigu and raised his arm in the air. Immediately, a phenomenal amount of lightning flew high in the sky, before falling back in the form of multitudes of lightning which struck the area all around the man. Seeming to use these lightning bolts as a protection, the man smiled again, while asserting.
" I will show you my power ! ADVENT OF THE THUNDR EMPEROR ! "
Remaining completely still, wondering what the man wanted to do, Genos noticed that the other lightning bolts that fell came dangerously close to him. Jumping to the side, he narrowly avoided being hit by one of them, as he left the trace of an impact on the charred ground.
" What is that ? "
" Surprised, isn't it? By handling my teigu perfectly, I was able to improve the attributes of my attack! Once my attack is launched, I control the lightning to drop some of it all around me, to form protection! As for the others, you know what they are for. "
Continuing to flee to dodge the lightning bolts, Genos seemed to finally be in trouble.
" There is no point in fleeing! Even the metallic parts of your body won't do anything if any of my lightning hits you! You will find yourself on the ground, unable to continue fighting! Do you understand, are you going to lose, my friend ? "
Still, continuing to dodge, Genos showed no concern on his face, instead, using his sensors, he stared intently at each of the lightning that fell around Budo. Immediately, numerous numbers appeared in his artificial irises, as he seemed to analyze the general's attacks in great detail.
Finally, he cried out.
" I've got you. "
" What ? "
Dodging another flash of lightning, Genos then began to rush towards Budo.
" But what is he doing ? " Wanted to know Kitela, seeing him do it.
" HAHAHAHA! This idiot hopes to defeat Budo by rushing like a bull! But that will never work. " Rô assured.
However, far from adopting this strategy, Genos continued to run towards Budo. Immediately he found himself under a lightning bolt, which was about to strike him.
" It's finish. "
However, at the last moment, Genos managed to avoid the attack. Doing the same with another lightning bolt, Genos began to zigzag between them, while following a perfectly calculated trajectory that allowed him to run towards Budo, while avoiding his attacks.
" It's impossible. "
And yet, finding himself in front of Budo, Genos closed his fist, before hitting him in the face. Feeling his feet lift off the ground, Budo was immediately thrown back. Not having finished, Genos opened his epaulets and released missiles, which fired at the former general. Unable to avoid them, Budo was severely punched and found himself in the center of a cloud of smoke.
As soon as a gust of wind blew away the smoke, Genos saw the general getting up while presenting a body with numerous wounds and burn marks.
" It's impossible. "
Barely able to comprehend the situation, Budo caught sight of Genos' foot right in front of his face, before getting punched. Feeling his nose break, the man fell back again.
Still, getting up almost immediately, he created a lightning trident in his hand before attempting to pretend to hit Genos.
" TRIDENT'S ZEUS ! "
Stooping to dodge his attack, the android then raised his fist upward and smashed into Budo's chin. Then, seeing his abdomen defenseless, Genos brought out his cremation cannons and hit him.
" CANNON INCINERATION ! "
Immediately, Budo's body was hit by the attack before disappearing into it.
Seeing this, Universe 9 could hardly believe what they were seeing. Budo was literally being humiliated by Genos. With a quick swing of his arm, the former general chased the flames of the attack, while roaring.
" This can not go on. "
Thinking back on his loss to Mine several years ago, Budo cried out.
" I refuse to lose a second time! LIGHTNING CRUSH ! "
Immediately a sphere of lightning struck the cyborg which could not react to the ground, creating an explosion which shook the area. Looking at the explosion he had created, Budo wanted to know.
" Do you like this power ? "
Nonetheless, he was flabbergasted to see the silhouette of Genos through the smoke, while the cyborg had been shielded by an energy shield.
" It's a joke ? "
'' What do you think I've been doing for the past ten years? I am the disciple of Saitama, the greatest hero in my universe! In order not to disappoint sensei, I learned to manipulate my ki to become perfect, no matter the situation. "
" Tsss! You think you're invincible, don't you? Let me tell you that you are wrong! In fact, we are both alike. "
" What? Do you dare to say that when you are ready to remain languishing in hell to escape your failures ? "
" You don't know anything about me. " Budo roared. " We are both powerful beings who can easily defeat an army of people in seconds! However, there is, in our two universes, a person who outclasses us in terms of power! No matter how hard we try, we will always be considered their simple pet! Do not you think ? That's why I don't want to resurrect! If it's to experience a new humiliation, I'd much rather stay in hell! It's because of people like your sensei that my life has been ruined! If there had never been someone like Esdeath in my world, nothing would have happened like this. "
" Do you dare to claim that your choices were induced by others? " Genos questioned him.
" Shut up ! Before my loss, my family was considered invincible! For me, defeating the enemies of the empire was as natural as breathing! But because of Honest and Esdeath, I had to put myself down! I never imagined it was going to take my life, and destroy the honor of all my family! It was because of them that I ended up becoming a loser. "
Simply remaining to fix it, Genos ends up gritting his teeth, while declaring.
" Yes, you're right ! I know nothing about you ! In fact, I don't even want to know your past! Do you dare to pretend that we are alike? "
Suddenly, before Budo could react, Genos used his thrusters before finding himself in front of the general and punching him in the face.
" It is an insult ! You're wrong ! I never thought of myself as sensei's pet! Compared to you, if I have been training day and night, as well as modifying my body, over and over again, it is for the sole purpose of surpassing it! I want to make my master proud, by showing that he is the man who made me strong enough to fight him. "
Continuing to hit Budo, he knocked him down, before yelling.
" We, the heroes of universe 4, we have decided to place our whole life as heroes of our planet, in order to save the population! And for that, we trained to win this tournament and face any opponent! You are nothing more than a coward who refuses to face his failures! I forbid you to compare me to you. "
Standing up in anger, Budo asked.
" Why ? Why call me a coward? After all, I am only realistic! Who would want me to come back to my planet when I was on the side of the bad guys? "
" Budo! You feel like you don't deserve to live again because of your mistakes, is that right? "
" Yes indeed. "
" Know that it is impossible for anyone to live a life without making the slightest mistake! On the contrary, the real strength of a warrior is knowing how to learn from his mistakes. "
Thinking back on his life with Saitama, Genos asserted.
" This is what my master taught me! Even when we fail, we get up and face the consequences of our fault! This is what it is to be a true warrior! In no case should you be afraid to take your responsibilities and think of a real way to correct your mistakes. "
" But are you going to shut it up? " Budo roared, trying to punch him in the face.
Dodging his fist without the slightest problem, Genos then punched him in the stomach, making him moan in pain.
" As long as you manage to correct your mistakes, you will have no reason to find yourself alone and reject others! On the contrary, all the people who will care about you will help you in your tasks, like during a fight, in order to make you stronger! And if you still don't understand that, there's no way you can beat me. "
Falling to the ground again, Budo appeared to be completely exhausted, while Genos stood in front of him, ready to continue the fight.
Trying to get up, Budo found himself unable to move. Cursing his condition, he cursed his weakness.
" Damn it! Why am I so weak? "
" It's easy to understand! Compared to me, you set yourself a limit that you are unable to cross without changing your mentality! It is not for your honor that you have to fight, but for everyone. "
Stopping cursing, Budo declared.
" Stop taking pity on me. "
" If you want me to stop seeing you as a coward! Get up! If I want to honor Sensei, I want to face people who will allow me to improve! So get back on your feet! Are you really sure you're here to save your universe? "
" Shut up ! I am able to defeat you. "
Straightening up Budo spat blood. Still, putting his hands on the ground to help himself up. Then, little by little, Genos saw him get back to his feet, before uttering a war cry.
" I don't need a stupid general to feel stronger! Nor to control an army! I myself am able to make my own decisions and improve myself to become stronger! I am I am … ! "
Staring at Genos, he wiped the blood from his mouth, before declaring.
" I'm BUDO! The man who will win this tournament to save his universe. "
Pointing at Genos, he cried out.
" It's gone, Genos! This fight is far from over. "
" You think ? In this case, I will finally be able to face the true lightning warrior of universe 9. "
In response, Budo let himself fly high in the air, before concentrating as much energy as possible in his hands. Finally, Genos saw him create a huge sphere of lightning in his hands.
" SOLID SHOOTER ! "
Seeing him prepare his most powerful attack, Genos decided to do the same. Bringing all his cannons out of his body, he cried out.
" SUPER SPIRAL INCINERATION CANNON ! "
Immediately, all of his weapons concentrated their energies, before firing a gigantic beam, while Budo launched his sphere of lightning. Hitting each other, the attacks pushed back to gain the advantage. Facing each other with all their might, both fighters gave every last ounce of their energy to win. Finally, being sucked in by the energy ray, Budo's sphere of lightning was pulverized, allowing Genos' attack to rush to Budo.
Unable to react, the general was caught by the attack which rose high into the sky. Seeing this, the deities of Universe 9 could only lift their faces to the sky. Then, finally, a figure could be seen falling back at full speed, before crashing into the bleachers between Ro and Sidra. Taking a step back, Ro could only be stunned when he recognized the man who was lying in his room.
" Bu… Bu… BUDO ? "
" Budo-san is eliminated. " Announced the high priest.
" NOOOO! It's impossible. "
Sitting down Sidra sighed, before declaring.
" I think we don't have a chance anymore. "
Suddenly getting up, Budo began to stare at Genos who imitated him.
" I lost… again! I am weak. "
However, instead of moping, a smile appeared on the general's face, who affirmed.
" Yes, I am weak! But I am not ashamed! It just means that I can always get stronger and change. "
"What is fun there? " Wanted to know Ro. " Are you glad you lost? "
" Yes ! Because I don't regret anything! I did my best! As I would to save peace on my planet, once I was resurrected. "
" What ? "
Hearing Budo's words, Mojito couldn't help but smile when he saw that the general had finally regained his self-confidence.
Crossing her arms, while sneering, Quitela declared.
" Hahaha! Have you seen this? Our universe does not even need fusion to triumph! We are going to win this tournament with great ease. "
Not thinking the same thing, Bang suddenly began to widen his eyes, before standing up.
" TATSUMAKI! "
Turning around, hearing the old man, Genos couldn't hide his astonishment, before finally roaring.
" ESDEATH! "
