Chapter 18
Catching Hiromi's punch, Merus chuckled. "This is a much more intense fight than our previous encounter." He admitted, raising an eyebrow when Hiromi laughed. "I honestly didn't expect a normal human like you to hold so much power." Merus admitted, raising an eyebrow when Hiromi began to laugh louder. "What's so funny?" Merus asked, taking a step back when Hiromi's laughter became manic. "Is he alright?" Belmond asked, looking at Peiri as she sighed. "Physically? Yes, mentally? Not even close." She admitted just as Hiromi's laughter faded. "You think I'm just a normal human? Not anymore." He stated, covering his face with his right hand. "What do you mean, not anymore?" Merus asked, jumping when Hiromi stomped his foot. "First I have to ask, want to see something cool?" He asked, chuckling as Merus continued to look at him with skepticism. "Sure." Merus replied, unsure if he had made the correct decision. "Good, now don't blink. I'm about to show you something beautiful." He stated, as he rose his arms to his sides, grunting when they both exploded, his flesh, bones and blood swirling around there original place before they reformed back into a pair of giant black claws; his blood a deep black with burning red flesh as jagged edged bones protruded from his elbows and wrists.
Pointing at Merus, his fingers had become long and sharp, the edges as sharp as a scythe, the light reflecting off of it as Hiromi began to laugh once more. "You should see your face, I'm not sure if your disgusted, scared, or both." He stated as everyone stared in complete disbelief. "That's so cool, I've never seen that before." "I know, I didn't know people could do that." The Zeno's cheered, staring at Hiromi with large, wonder filled eyes.
"Forgive me for staring, I have never seen someone with such an… Obscene power." Merus admitted, shaking his head. "I get that, it's alright. Now, lets do this!" Hiromi roared, lunging toward Merus, his eyes red with bloodlust.
Dodging to the left, Merus gasped when the tip of one of Hiromi's fingers cut through his vest like armor. "Those things are impossibly sharp." He admitted, touching the armor, shaking his head when he noticed that the claw had gone through his suit as well missing his skin by less than an inch.
With a large smile stretched across his face, Hiromi began to laugh. "I haven't used this power in years, I have to admit; it's a combination of pure ecstasy and uncontrollable pain." He admitted lunging at Hiromi once more, swiping his large claws towards him, cutting through his suit as Merus tried to dodge. Grunting in pain when Merus cartwheeled backward, kicking him in the chin, stunning him long enough to make some distance. "Before we continue, I would like to ask what you meant by your power being. "A combination of pure ecstasy and uncontrollable pain."?" Merus asked as Hiromi took deep, sporadic breaths. "I can dismantle my body and reform it in a different way; I have control over ever molecule in my body. My arms, my legs. I can change them into anything I want. My entire body is a living weapon. My father was once a scientist back on earth; when the government stopped funding his… questionable experiments. He turned his attention to me. For his final hurrah; he injected me with a virus he was working on and the rest is history." Hiromi explained, taking a deep breath before crouching.
Merus watched in confusion as Hiromi remained crouched for a second before launching into the air, twisting himself as his left leg exploded, reforming as a giant flesh hammer as he sped toward the stage, shaking it as a cloud of dust and debris covered them.
Before he could react, Merus cried out in pain when Hiromi's claws scratched his back, sending him to his knees as Hiromi kicked him in the face with his hammer leg; sending him crashing into the large pillar. Berrus and the rest of Universe 7 falling silent as Hiromi laughed once more as his leg and arms exploded, returning to normal.
Jumping to the left, Gazu winced when one of the Tien's punched him. "This isn't good." He admitted as he whistled; his sword diligently answering its master by ringing. Seeing this, one of the Tien's smiled as he picked it up. "Are you looking for this?" He asked, throwing his sword at him, slashing his right cheek as it flew past. "What?" He asked as Tien kicked him in the back, sending him rolling forward. "Are you alright?!" Ruby asked as she landed heavily on the ground, causing Tien to jump back. "So, you're the one Goku told us about." Tien stated as Ruby glared at him, reverting back to her human form. "Are you okay?" Ruby asked as she helped Gazu to his feet. "I'm good. It's just a flesh wound, I've had worse." Gazu reassured her as she touched the gash on Gazu's face. "He's split himself into four, the vibrations that they've been sending through the ground have been throwing me off. I can't get a lead on the real him with all the movement." Gazu explained as Ruby's spear materialized in her hand. "Let's dance!" She yelled, using her wings to catapult herself At one of the Tien's.
Surprised by her speed, The Tien's were caught of guard when Ruby flew over them, using her tail to whack one of them in the back; recoiling forward, he grunted when Ruby countered one of the other Tien's punches, quickly tossing him at another. "Picking on a blind man isn't very honorable!" Ruby accused, poking one of the Tien's with her spear. "I do what I must to ensure my Universe's survival. " He answered as another one grabbed her wings, kicking her into the air as another jumped from a high rock. "Dodon ray!" He yelled as he released a wave of energy from his outstretched finger.
Blocking it with the tip of her spear, Ruby transformed into her dragon form. "That's it." Tien whispered as she flew closer. "Solar flare!" All of the Tien's yelled as they emitted a bright light, causing Ruby to cryy out in pain as it blinded her.
Grabbing one of the Tien's, Gazu stabbed him with his sword, destroying him. "I knew it wouldn't work on him. It's now or never." One of the Tien's admitted as he watched Gazu run towards another. Squinting his eyes, he placed the tips of his thumbs and fingers together to form a triangle. "Neo Tri-Beam!" He roared as the other two leapt into the air, releasing a powerful wave of energy.
Raising his head into the air as the attack flew towards him, Gazu scowled. "The air shifted." He realized, using his sword to block the attack while the other two Tien's caught Ruby of guard while she was still blinded.
One of them kicked her in the face, causing her to recoil backward as the other flew above her. "Kamehameha!" He roared, firing Goku's attack at her back, smiling when it carried her into the abyss. "Ruby of the 13th has been eliminated, 32 fighters remain." The Grand Priest announced as she appeared on the stands. "Gazu!" Ruby yelled the second she appeared next to Nyx. "Mr. Tien sure is strong." Nyx admitted as Tien continued to barrage Gazu with the Tri-Beam. "That attack definitely packs a punch." Kaylin agreed as the stage around Gazu quaked and cracked every time the attack impacted the ground. Everyone watching as Gazu masterfully dodged it. The two remaining Tien's landing around him, firing their own. "The Tri-Beam is a powerful attack but it does have one flaw." Universe 13 looked over at Whis as he continued to watch the fight. "What would that be?" Kaylin asked, fixing his glasses. "It is a life threatening attack; it takes Tien's very life force to power it. The more he uses it, the more he risks his own safety." He explained as he watched Tien intently.
Gazu gasped when Tien's attack landed next to him, taking deep breaths during the short break between attacks. "Damn, I can't tell were the real one is." Gazu hissed as he dodged another wave.
Tien began to breath heavily as he paused his attacks for a moment, allowing Gazu to sit down on a rock as he thrust his sword into the ground, sending intense vibrations throughout. Seeing this, Tien smiled as he fire at him again, not noticing when Gazu's head shot into the sky. "That's it. Only one of them moves." Gazu realized as he thtew his sword away, touching the handle of the large katana still strapped to his waist, the air around him falling completely still.
Yelling as he fired the Tri-Beam once again, Tien gasped, looking around frantically when he realized that he was standing on the stands, his attack shooting toward the Zeno's. "Tien of the 7th and Gazubiro of the 13th have been eliminated, 30 fighters remain." The Grand Priest announced as the Zeno's leapt to their feet and rose their hands toward the attack, causing Tien's attack to vanish. "It's alright, we know you didn't mean it." "Yes, but what happened? One second you were there." "Yes and the next you were gone." They asked, crossing their arms in thought as they sat once more.
"I want to know too, what the hell was that?!" Berrus asked, yelling in rage as he shook his fist at Universe 13. "It's called the Ageo Sotto-Ken." Gazu answered from Ryleigh's arms as she cradled him like a baby. "it's a last resort attack; taught to me by my late master. By channeling all of my bodily and spiritual energy into a single movement, I am able to move at such an intense speed that there is no way you would have heard my movements, let alone seen them, but since I use all of my energy for the attack I am left completely defenseless afterwards." Gazu explained as Tien smiled, walking toward him. "So you used it to take us both out?" Tien asked, stepping infront of Ryleigh. "Believe me, it wasn't the way I wanted it to end it. But to quote Kamui: I was up a creek without a paddle. I do what I must to ensure my Universe's victory." "I understand, I didn't exactly give you a handicap back there. It may not be a worthy apology, but it's a start." Tien explained as he placed his hand on Gazu's chest, pushing down on him. "Better?" Tien asked as Ryleigh lowered him. "Thanks." Gazu, thanked, holding out his hand. "Perhaps we can have a rematch someday." He stated as Tien smiled, taking his hand as Gazu's tuning fork sword appeared on his back. "Sounds good." He agreed as the two warriors began to laugh. Their Universe's watching in shock as opponents acted as friends.
Seeing this a large smile appeared on Peiri's face. "What are you smiling about? One of your fighters was just eliminated." Belmond asked, crossing his arms. "That is what it means to be a true warrior." Peiri stated, watching her brother and Tien. "To admit defeat and not have any regrets as you embrace your enemy as your friend." Peiri explained as she watched Gazu and Tien with a smile on her face.
Ronin chuckled as he tossed Bula over his shoulder, blocking Goten's kick, countering with one of his own. "Alright kiddo's, this is starting to get a bit old" Ronin announced as he back flipped over Trunks's punch, kicking him in the back of the head. "Damn it! Nothings working." Bula panted, attacking Ronin with rapid punches, growing angrier every time Ronin danced through her attacks, laughing as he went.
Trunks and Goten glanced at each other as Bulla tried in vain to land a single strike. "Even super Saiyan isn't enough." Goten admitted, clenching his fist. "What about the form we learned in the time chamber?" Trunks asked as Ronin crossed his arms and sighed. "Are you even trying kid? This is too easy." He mocked putting his hands in his pockets. "The other one that was with you. She had the right idea." Hearing him talking about Pan, Bulla shrieked, charging at Ronin alone. "Don't you dare talk about Pan!" Bulla yelled as she tried to uppercut him, gasping when Ronin dodged it and grabbed her by the ponytail, slamming her into the ground.
Looking to the left, he noticed Goten and Trunks powering up, turning super Saiyan in the process. "Not today." He ordered, scowling when Piccolo lowered himself to the ground. "So, do you always pick on the children first?" He asked, his arms crossed as his cape flowed behind him. "I do what needs to be done." Ronin explained, looking him up and down. "These children are under my protection." Piccolo announced, lowering his arms. "You're their babysitter? Great, I'll just knock you all out." Ronin smugly replied, chuckling when Piccolo removed his cape and turban once more. "You've got the bark, but do you have the bite?" Piccolo asked, cracking his neck. "Guess were just gonna have to find out." Ronin replied as Piccolo stretched out his arm, grabbing him by the throat.
Slamming him into the ground, Piccolo grumbled when Ronin leapt to his feet, kicking him in the chest seconds after having his face slammed into solid stone. Attacking Piccolo with rapid attacks until Goten and Trunks caught his attention once more.
Taking a moment to look as well, both Ronin and Piccolo watched as Goten and Trunks roared, their body's twitching as their hair spiked even more, lightning crackling around them as they gained an extreme amount of muscle mass. "Wow, that's incredible. Their getting so big." "I know, it's really cool." The Zeno's awed as 18 looked toward their area. "This power, it feels almost like when Vegeta fought Cell." She thought to herself until something knocked her to the ground.
With their transformation finished, They gazed as Ronin with pure white eyes, their bodies easily three times larger than before. "What the hell kind of juice did they drink?" Ronin asked, shaking his head as Piccolo stared at them, shocked by the power they were emitting.
Taking a deep breath, they both allowed their bodies to relax for a second before charging at Ronin so quickly that Piccolo didn't even see them move, gasping when Bulla tackled him to the ground.
Leaning backwards so far that his head touched the ground, Ronin chuckled when both Trunks and Goten flew over him; punching each other in the face. As they recoiled, Ronin wrapped his arms around their necks and jumped into the air, attempting to slam their heads into the ground, Gasping when it didn't work. "What's wrong? Goten asked, chuckling as he threw Ronin into a large rock. "You're not dealing with the average Saiyan anymore." Trunks announced as Bulla drop kicked him in the back of the head, sending him crashing into the arena.
Groaning, Ronin pushed himself to his feet as he took a deep breath. "And my job just keeps getting worse." He admitted as Trunks and Goten charged at him once more.
Cracking a smile, he slid between Goten's legs, causing him to trip. Vaulting to his feet, he gasped when Trunks appeared before him, tilting his head; he dodged the attack, gasping when Trunks's punch destroyed an entire range of large rocks behind him with the pure power housed in the punch. "Damn, what the hell was that?" He asked as Trunks tried to punch him again, ducking when Goten kicked; causing them to hit each other.
Gritting his teeth, he attacked them with a barrage of his own attacks, grumbling when they did nothing as Goten laughed. "You cant beat us in these forms." He stated, as he punched at him again growling when Ronin easily vaulted over it, kicking him in the head. "Mabey not, but I don't have to." He stated, smiling when Trunks began to pant. "What do you mean?" Goten asked, his eye twitching as his left arm twitched. "I don't have to beat you. All I have to do is wait for your bodies to tire out. And by the looks of it, it's already happening. You gained a lot of muscle and power, but you've lost all of your speed and mobility. The strain that this power has put on your body is to intense for it to handle." He explained, watching as Goten and Trunks began to move a lot more sluggishly as their bodies began to deflate. "Let me guess, you attained that form but didn't train at all to master it. You thought that sheer luck and your D.N.A would prove superior than hard work and practice?" He asked as they both returned to their base forms
Turning his head, he smiled when he saw Piccolo stretching his arms towards him. Chuckling to himself, Ronin grabbed ducked under them, attaching strange black boxes to his wrists.
The moment Piccolo's arms neared Goten and Trunks they were pulled together. Laughing, Ronin shook his head. While you two were musclebound meet heads, I placed tiny but extremely powerful magnets on your suits, those boxes on his wrists are basically the same thing, that's why your attached now." He explained, chuckling when Piccolo began to pull his arms back, pulling the boys with them.
Without a moment of hesitation, Ronin began to run after them, delivering a devastating uppercut to Piccolo before his arms could fully return. Goten and Trunks became detached to the large magnets around Piccolo's wrists when his arms whipped into the air.
Leaping into the air, he grabbed Piccolo by the face as flames began to emit from his elbow, speeding up their descent; sending a large shockwave through the arena when they impacted the ground. Seeing Piccolo fall still, Ronin smiled slamming his elbow into Bulla's stomach without even looking when Bulla appeared behind him.
Placing his other hand on her face, he forced her backward until her back landed on his knee. Smiling, Ronin pushed down on her legs and face, causing her to scream out in pain, chuckling when Trunks and Goten charged at him. "Hey, catch!" He yelled, throwing her at them, laughing loudly when they caught her seconds before a wave of powerful explosions rocked them.
Before he could do anything else, he cried out in pain, falling forward onto one knee, a surge of pain coursing through his back. "Stop hurting my friends!" Pan yelled as she stared at Ronin with pure red eyes, scowling as he rose to his feet, turning to meet her gaze. "So, you came back?" Ronin asked as he removed his jacket, looking at it, his left eye twitching when he noticed that she had burned a hole straight through it with her attack. "You ruined my jacket." Ronin stated as he took steps towards her.
Unmoving, Pan raised her hand and released a powerful energy wave, smiling when Ronin cried out in pain as the wave engulfed him.
Kicking Drago in the chest, Frieza chuckled when he sent Drago sliding backward. Rapidly fired his death beam at him, grumbling when he held Siegfried up to block them as he ran back towards him once again. "You will never silence the light Frieza!" Drago yelled as he ran straight at Frieza, swinging Siegfried at his head.
Ducking under the sword, Frieza kicked Drago in the chest again, sending him sliding backward. "Is this the best you can muster? I expected more from the emperor of the Universe than the repetitive and excessive use of the same simple technique." Drago mocked as he started to run at him again.
Narrowing his eyes in anger of Drago's words, he raised his hands towards Drago. Flicking them in his direction, Frieza grinned as two large portions of the stage crashed into him from both sides.
As Drago fell to his knees, Frieza roared, engulfing himself in a red aura and began to quickly charge at Drago. Looking up, he gasped as Frieza strongly punched him in the stomach; lifting him off the ground and around in a circle, crashing him into the ground.
Gasping, breathless from the force of Frieza's punch, Drago grit his teeth when Frieza picked him up by the leg, slamming him into the rocks and hills of the stage.
Ronin groaned as he lay in the dirt as Pan stood triumphantly over him. "Not so tough now, are you old man?" Pan asked standing over him the hair sticking out of her tattered bandana; a bright red. "I thought you said the ritual didn't work on those two?" Berrus asked looking distrustfully at Whis. "It seemed as if it had no effect on them. Perhaps we were missing the correct situation to awaken it." He admitted as Gohan clenched his fist, seeing his daughter reach a new level. "Dad once said that the power of the Super Saiyan only awoke when it was needed the most. Perhaps super Saiyan God works the same way." Gohan wondered, closing his eyes as he crossed his arms.
"Damn! This ain't good." Ronin complained as Pan grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, pulling upward as she punched him in the face, a wave of power flying from his fist. "Put him down!" Vanity yelled as Pan was just about to punch him again. "You're the unicorn lady." Pan stated, dropping Ronin in the process, kicking him in the face the moment he hit the ground, sending him crashing into a large rock.
"I am, but I'm not as friendly as the ones in the fairy tales." Vanity answered as her horn began to glow pink. Picking up Piccolo ans the other kids, she quickly pulled them together, using their own body weight against them, smashing them into each other. Allowing Ronin to grab Pan by the waist, delivering a German suplex to her. "Are you alright?" she asked, rubbing his back which was still smoking. "I've been better." Ronin answered as he put his hands in his pockets.
Watching as Pan leapt to her feet, he removed them, revealing two golden brass knuckles. "You brought them with you?" Vanity asked, smiling. "I never leave home without them." "What do we do?" She asked as Ronin smiled. Seeing all of them line up, chuckling when 18 landed next to Piccolo. "Just like a divorce." "What?" Vanity asked, completely caught of guard by Ronin's answer. "We split them; half and half." Understanding his reasoning, Vanity giggled. "I get it. That's clever." She admitted, giggling again. "No time for laughter!" Ronin snapped, causing Vanity to jump when Ronin sternly raised his voice.
Watching them, Piccolo and 18 shared a serious glance. "Their making a plan." 18 admitted, rolling up the sleeves on her jump suit. "Whatever it is, we can handle it. Right Piccolo?" Bulla asked, pulling her gloves. "Don't get too confident. He was betting all of you at the same time." Piccolo ordered, crossing his arms. "But you two are here now." Pan stated, looking up at both him and 18. "Yeah, there's more of us then there is of them." Goten agreed, powering up into super Saiyan again. "He's got a point." 18 admitted, nudging Piccolo. "I know, you and the boys take the unicorn, I'll take the girls and handle Ronin." Piccolo ordered, charging at them, the girls following close behind. "Alright then, lets go!" 18 ordered, running towards Vanity, the boys sighing as they followed.
Glaring at them with a strange seriousness, Ronin removed his shirt, throwing it to the side. "Playtime is over now." Ronin stated, vaulting over Pan as she attempted to punch him in the face. Driving the brass knuckle strongly into her jaw, sending her recoiling back as he released a powerful volley of punches to Bula before he leapfrogged over her, kicking her in the back. Growling when Piccolo kicked him in the chin, raising him from the ground, before Ronin had a chance to retaliate, Piccolo appeared above him, slamming him back to the arena.
Smiling, Piccolo watched as Ronin stood once again, quickly firing hundreds of energy blasts before he could move.
Looking around him, Ronin shrugged his shoulders. "What was that supposed to be? You missed ever time." Ronin mocked as he shook crossed his arms. "Did I?" Piccolo asked as he hugged himself.
Looking to his sides once again, Ronin grit his teeth when he saw hundreds of energy blasts floating around him, crossing his arms in an attempt to block them as they flew towards him, a massive wave of explosions rocking the stage as Piccolo watched, a smile on his face.
Seeing the attack, Vanity stepped toward the growing cloud of dust and debris, freezing when 18 landed infront of her. "Get her!" Trunks ordered as he and Goten charged toward her.
Using her sword, she blocked Trunks's kick, twirling around Goten's punch as she kicked Trunks in the face, using her horn, she tossed Trunks at him, drop kicking both of them in the face. Recoiling when 18 kicked her in the side just as she landed, knocking her off balance, allowing 18 to beat her with a volley of strikes.
The power of 18's strikes began to push Vanity to the edge until Vanity used her horn to make a clone of herself, stopping 18's barrage. Giving her a moment to breath before Goten grabbed her horn, slamming her; face first into the ground as Trunks fired an energy beam through the copy, destroying it. "Nice job boys." 18 admitted, smiling as Vanity pushed herself to her feet. "It's not over yet." Vanity ordered, lifting her sword into the air, her horn once again glowing pink as she vanished.
18 winced when something struck her head, spinning around, she scowled when nothing met her gaze. Spinning around once more when Goten and Trunks had their heads smashed together. "What's happening?" Trunks asked as Vanity laughed. "You turned yourself invincible?" 18 asked, clenching her fists tightly. "You cant fight what you cant see." She mocked, punching 18 in the stomach, causing her to wince as the boys rose once again.
Out of nowhere, Ronin punched Piccolo in the back of the head, staggering him long enough for him to smile, yelling out in frustration when Bulla grabbed him by the head, throwing him towards the edge.
Landing, he quickly tossed a ball at her; which she caught. "Sorry kid, but this is just getting ridiculous. It shouldn't kill you, but it will hurt like hell." Ronin apologized as he tapped his nose twice, causing six small drones to be excreted from his back, leaving small wounds behind. "What the hell" Berrus asked, not taking his eyes off of the battle.
Clenching his fist, he punched towards Bulla; the drones obediently obeying his command; flying towards her. As they reached her; one by one, they dug small neddle like blades into her body, causing her to scream out in pain.
Hearing her cries, Vegeta's head shot into the air. "Now's our chance, he's distracted." Cody whispered as a large pink and purple dragon appeared next to him. "Nora, get him!" Cody yelled as he pointed at Vegeta. Nodding it's head, the large dragon obeyed and Grabbed Vegeta by the waist.
Struggling in the powerful grasp of the large dragon, Vegeta gasped when she quickly took off into the air. Flying straight up.
Using this to his advantage, Vegeta stopped struggling as he looked for Bulla. Out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed Bulla as the last of the drones attached itself onto her body, dragging her into the air. Vegeta grit his teeth in rage as Nora changed direction and began to accelerate quickly towards the ground.
Realizing that Nora intended to crash into the ground with him, he yelled as his hair turned a deep blue. Struggling once more, he was able to free one of his hands from her giant claws, using it to send an energy ball crashing to the ground below; creating a hole in the arena directly beneath them as he sent Cody and his sisters flying in multiple directions. Gritting his teeth, he descended into the dust strewn about by his attack a bright blue light emitting from it.
Gazu gasped when Nora came crashing on top of him. "What happened? Where's Vegeta?" Peiri asked as she helped lift Nora off of Gazu. Berrus laughing as the giant dragon sat next to Wrath in the corner. "Did you think something like that would beat Vegeta?" He asked, shaking his head.
Cody slowly walked over to the hole, gasping when Vegeta shot out from it. Rising into the air, he began to fire rapid energy blasts at him and his sisters. Gritting his teeth when Kyrie grabbed Cody, using her hard scales as a shield as the others were bombarded; sending Becky, Airalin, and Luca flying off the side.
Grinning, Ronin lifted his hand towards Bulla once more, a stern gaze glued to his face. "No!" Pan cried as both her and Piccolo charged at him.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath; leaping into the air, arching his back as he twirled over the heads of them. "Kamui family secret technique, number 4: Rocket kick!" He roared as a loud bang resounded the stage, everyone looking at Ronin the moment they heard it, sharing the same shocked expression when they saw that he had kicked Piccolo in the face, a lax expression on his face, his eyes a pale white, sending him flying toward the edge." "Piccolo of the 7th has been eliminated, 29 fighters remain." The Grand Priest announced, bowing as Piccolo appeared on the stands.
As 17 helped him to his feet, Piccolo shook his head. "What happened?" 17 asked, staring intensely at him. "I don't know, I watched him cartwheel over us and I felt his kick… But after that everything went blank. I cant believe he knocked me out with a single kick." Piccolo admitted, clenching his fist tightly in shame. "Wow, look at that!" "That's so cool, he's got legs." The Zeno's cheered, turning everyone's attention back to the arena.
Looking down, everyone saw that the skin covering Ronin's left leg had burned off; revealing a jet black, metallic endoskeleton underneath." "Incredible, Is he an android too?" Berrus asked, looking over at Peiri. "No, he's human. I have no idea what that is?" She admitted, shaking his head as Pan yelled out.
Catching Pan's punch, Ronin shook his head. "This game of tag is boring, just get out of here." He ordered, kneeing her in the chin, stunning her long enough for him to place his fingers on her waist, his palm hovering inches above contact. Quickly taking a deep breath, the skin burned off as well; revealing the same colored endoskeleton underneath. "Kamui family special technique, number 7: Spirit bullet!" He roared as he quickly pushed his palm onto her waist, sending a wave of energy flying in every direction as Pan was sent flying, crashing through several rocks, as well as the central pillar before flying into the abyss below.
"Pan of the 7th has been eliminated, 28 fighters remain." The Grand Priest announced as Pan appeared next to Berrus. Punching the small barrier infront of her, she began to cry. "I'm sorry. I failed grandpa Goku, I failed Dad, I failed Piccolo… And I failed you." She stated as she gripped her pants tightly. "Cheer up kid, you did the best that you could. You became a super Saiyan God and everything. Besides, don't cry. It isn't befitting of a warrior." Berrus admitted, rubbing her head. Looking up at him, Pan smiled. "Alright, thank you." She replied, hugging him tightly. "We haven't lost yet, Goku, Vegeta and Broly are still out there. Hey kid, if you let me go I'll train you myself after we win this thing." He offered, sighing slightly when she let him go. "You think we can really win?" She asked, wiping her eyes. "Of course, Goku and Vegeta have never let us down before." He explained, smiling when Pan nodded in agreement.
Closing his eyes, Ronin raised his hand towards Bulla once again, swiftly closing it before anyone else could stop him, causing the drones to self destruct. The explosions rocked the entire stage, even causing Broly and Shougen to pause their fight to watch.
Bulla's tortured screams were all that could be heard as the drones self-destructed one by one. Hearing his daughter's pain filled screams, Vegeta stopped firing his attacks and looked up at the explosion that his daughter was at the center of, a fear-filled expression covering his face. "No!" Vegeta roared as he watched the explosion; his hair returning to it's black color.
Seeing Vegeta lower his guard, Cody smiled. "Now's our chance, get him!" At his command, Kyrie tossed Loppu into the air, sending her flying toward Vegeta, clenching her fist as purple flames began to form around it. Punching toward him. Everyone gasped when Loppu went right through him, falling completely off the arena. "What's happening?" Peiri asked as Berrus cheered. "Come on Vegeta!"
Cody jumped when Vegeta appeared inches in front of him, his eyes a pure white. At the same moment he grabbed Cody by the arm, Vegeta took on a strange purple glow as his hair began to flow freely in the wind. Coming to Cody's aid, Kyrie used her spiky tail to strike Vegeta in the back.
Looking back at the dinosaur, Vegeta released an energy blast to her side, sending her flying off the side. Looking back at Cody, he flicked him in the forehead, sending him flying into a hill.
Looking over at Berrus who was laughing, Peiri grit her teeth and clenched her fist. "What the hell is that!?" She asked as Berrus continued to laugh. "I knew you could do it Vegeta, show them why you wear that earing!" He roared as the other God's looked down at him. "Berrus, you've chosen a replacement?" Champa asked, standing up as Belmond laughed. "No wonder he beat Toppo. Those Saiyan's of yours are definitely something." He admitted, shaking his head with a chuckle. Hearing their words, Peiri gasped "Wait, your replacement? Then that means… Crap." She admitted, realizing what they had meant.
Cody winced as he lifted himself from the ground, his eye twitching when Vegeta appeared in front of him. Gritting his teeth, he attempted to punch Vegeta, wincing when he caught his punch, twisting his arm.
Cody cried out in pain as his arm fell limply to the side. Falling to his knees, he grasped his broken arm, looking up at Vegeta as he silently stood before him, staring down at him. Looking up at Vegeta in pure fear, Cody backed away, gasping when his back hit a rock. His eyes fixed solely on Vegeta as his hair turned a light shade of purple, his pupils returning, taking on a purple hue.
