The members of Universe 13 breathed a sigh of relief as Kaseaen smiled. "Of course, your live." Hearing her words, the other Universe's grit their teeth in both fear and anticipation of what was to come.
Zagraeus closed his eyes and took a deep breath a large smile formed on his face. "People of the Universe! You don't know me, and I don't know most of you, but I need your help; my name is Zagraeus, my friends and I are currently fighting for all of your lives. Everything we have ever loved is in grave danger, and we need your help. If we fail, the sun will never again rise, our children will never be able to grow old… Please, raise your hands as high as you can, lend me your energy. I know that I have given you no reason to trust me, but you must… You must. Please, give me your energy… Please!" The Zeno's looked at each other in confusion as Zagraeus spoke. "What's going on? I'm not sure, I think he's talking to everyone in his Universe." "That's cool, but I wanna see." "Yes I know, I want to see too." They stated as the Grand Priest laughed. "As you wish." He stated, clapping his hands, a large screen appearing above the arena.
Looking at the screen, everyone gasped when they saw people walking across a large intersection in the middle of a large city. As Zagraeus voice echoed above them, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked to the sky. "Wait a second… Amy, doesn't that sound like?" An old man asked, stuttering as he stopped in the middle of crossing the street to look back at his wife before looking up into the sky, speechlessly unflinching, even when cars began to honk at him. Before looking up into the sky with him, she fell to her knees; dropping her bags as tears filled her eyes. "Zagraeus! By God's grace he's alive." "Give me your energy, please!" At Zagraeus's command, she threw her arms into the air. "It's all yours, Hun!" Amy called.
Following shortly behind, the old man rose his hands into the air. One after another, the people of Earth rose their hands into the air, lending their energy to Zagraeus until the entirety of Earth, even sworn enemies on the battlefield stood side by side; their arms raised towards the heavens.
Watching the screen, everyone gasped when the Zeno's laughed. "This is very cool." "Yes, I know. Everyone is so nice. We should look at another planet." "Yes, but which one?" "I know, how about the planet that Zagraeus and his friends call home." "Yes, that's a great idea." They conversed before looking at the Grand Priest. "Your wish, is my command." He stated, snapping his fingers. The members of Universe 13 gasped as a large, green planet appeared on the screen. "Oh, wow. It's so pretty." "Yes, what is it called?" The Zeno's asked, looking at each other. "Vitania!" Shougen stated, as the screen zoomed in, showing a small cabin that lay within a calm, field. A farm next to it with a large unicorn with a broken horn grazing in a fenced in field.
Seeing this, Shougen leapt to his feet. "What's wrong?" Toppo asked, glancing up at him. "That's my house." He stated, sitting back down as two small girls crept around the side of the house. "Behind the tree." The lead girl whispered, pointing at a bright pink dragon tail that was poking out from behind the tree. "Okay" The other girl cued as the leader ran towards a large Shed.
A smile formed on the faces of the Universe 13 members as a bunch of children of all types; human, dragon, anthropomorphic creatures and ones with animalistic features scattered around the yard. "Gotcha now!" The lead girl called as she opened the door to find a woman drinking a cup of tea while sitting on a bucket. "May I interest you in a cookie." The woman offered as she held out a plate of cookies. "Oohh." Kagatane hummed happily, as she crept out of the door.
Looking over at the Universe 13 members, Berrus sighed. "I assume these are your children?" He asked, raising an eyebrow when Shougen sighed. "Their all of ours. The two that were sneaking around the house are Haruhi and Neonia, my daughters… My little sister; Hinoa and her wife; the one in my tool shed; Kagatane, are looking after them…" Shougen explained, clenching his fist tightly. "There is no honor in this." He mumbled, causing Berrus, Champa and Belmond to look at him. "What do you mean?" Belmond asked as Shougen glared at the Grand Priest. "This tournament, there is no honor in this. The other Universe's, they haven't done anything to us, and we haven't done anything to you. By winning, everyone else dies, that's just senseless slaughter." Shougen explained, gritting his teeth tightly. "I must agree, there is no sense in this. No one here deserves to be put to the sword… Perhaps besides that Frost fellow. But nevertheless, we are just as innocent in this Multiversal genocide as you are. What makes us any better than you? What makes your families any more important than ours? I have been asking myself this question since my elimination. I did not have the time to think about any of this during my time on the battlefield but… It honestly pains me to think of the outcome that awaits us. As much as I love my family and cherish my people…" "I refuse to live a life that was saved by the lives of innocent people." Shougen announced, finishing Drago's statement as his eye twitched in rage. "Don't you think that's a little extreme?" Berrus asked, crossing his arms. "So, if you win, you're gonna kill yourself?" Champa asked, shaking his head in confusion. "Spargan's live a life that values Honor over everything else. What honor is there in slaughtering millions of innocent lives? The answer is, that there ain't none." Shougen explained, crossing his arms sternly as the Zeno's laughed.
Looking up, everyone saw that the Zeno's were laughing at what was on the screen.
"What are you doing Haruhi?" The second girl from earlier asked, sticking her head in the shed, frowning when the leader girl turned towards her; her cheeks bulging with cookies.
Quickly looking around, Haruhi gulped loudly and clenched her fist. " Neonia, where did Kage go? She tricked me!" She cried, running past the other girl when she pointed outside. "Would you look at that, the cookie monster is in hot pursuit." Kagatane mocked as she skipped in a circle. "Neo, did you get them?" Haruhi asked, groaning when Neonia shook her head. "I couldn't, they flew up there." Neonia explained as she pointed to the roof. "Come-on Misaki! That's cheating!" Haruhi cried, pointing furiously up at the dragons, rabbit and dog child, along with another human. Haruhi, grumbled angrily, crossing her arms sternly just like Shougen as a small girl with the body of a spider leaned over the edge of the roof and stuck her tongue out at her. "Miku!? You think you're better than me!? Who decided that, huh? Crash!" At Haruhi's call, a large rainbow manned Pegasus landed next to her and bent down; allowing her to mount. "Get her! I'll handle the others" Haruhi ordered as she snapped the reins; causing the Pegasus to take off, in pursuit of the dragons, Misaki and Miku. Leaving Neonia to chase after Kagatane.
Cracking her knuckles, Neonia only took two steps towards her when she was stopped in her tracks, Zagraeus's voice booming overhead. "Please, raise your hands as high as you can, lend me your energy." Kagatane rose her head into the sky and hummed as the house door was thrown open. "Did you hear that?! That sounded like Zagraeus." A woman with flame red hair asked; wearing a bright orange apron and wielding a kitchen knife. "Give me your energy, please!" Hinoa jumped and squealed in fright as Zagraeus's voice boomed once more. "In another dimension, and still bothering me, huh? Well at least you learned to say please. Take as much as you need my boy! Can't die anyway. Hahaha!" Watching Kagatane raise her hands, Hinoa dutifully followed; causing the kids to copy them.
The Members of the other Universe's watched in shock as every man, woman and child rose their hands to the sky, giving what energy they could, cheering for Zagraeus and the others. "How come there giving it to you? When Goku and Vegeta fought Majin Buu; the people of Earth wouldn't give them any energy. The only reason they gave any energy is because they thought that Hercule was the one that saved the Earth from Cell." Piccolo asked, groaning when Drago Smiled. "Well, that is your answer. They believed that someone else had saved them. Would you willingly give your energy to someone that claimed to be a hero that you had never seen? After our battles against Yokk'Karosh, and Xerrath. Zagraeus, Shougen, myself and the others have become household names. The people of Vitania, Earth, and Extronima all know that we were the ones that saved them. Knowing that, they willingly give Zagraeus what he asks for." Drago explained as the Zeno's laughed. "That was a funny name for a planet." "Yes, lets see that one." They stated, looking up at the Grand Priest. "As you wish." He stated, clapping his hands ones more.
Looking up at the screen, everyone watched as it showed a blue and red planet before zooming in to show a man standing with his head tilted downward, a large hat covering his face from view, his hands at his sides, waggling his fingers.
The man spat to his side as a small anthropomorphic unicorn girl strutted towards him before turning to face him. "I'm tired of dealing with your shenanigans Tipsy Trev, this town just ain't big enough for the two of us anymore." The small girl stated, mimicking a cowboy's speech patterns, and movements.
Tipping his hat, the man looked up and smiled at her. "Then perhaps you should move along girl, only here for a week and you think you can tango with me? Run on home 'for ya get ya 'self hurt... Sherriff." The man answered; copying her accent. "He looks just like you." Gohan stated, pointing at Ronin. "Of course he does, he's my twin brother; Reece. He's looking after our daughters while we're here." Ronin explained, pointing at himself and Vanity.
"If the town isn't big enough for the two of you, why don't you just move to a different town, Morgan?" Another anthropomorphic unicorn girl asked, sitting next to a tree with her head rested firmly on her knees; inciting laughter from both Reece and the Zeno's.
Groaning, Morgan shook her head. "Billie! I told you that we were gonna have a duel, and that you were supposed to be my deputy. You're supposed to be my partner." Morgan stated; her head in her hands. "Oh, right! Sorry, I forgot." Billie called.
Taking her place next to Morgan, she pointed at Reece. "You should pack your things and take the next train out of our town mister Tip Top." Billie stated, pointing at Reece as she spoke; inciting even more laughs from the Zeno's as Morgan groaned. "He's Tipsy Trev, Billie! Tipsy Trev! And don't be nice to him, he's the outlaw! He's the bad guy!" "Oh, sorry Morgan… I forgot." Billie stated, patting Morgan on the back as she shook her head in disbelief of Billie's blatant ignorance. "Please, raise your hands as high as you can, lend me your energy!" Reece looked up into the sky as Zagraeus's voice boomed overhead. "He's distracted Morgan." Billie whispered, pointing at their uncle. "Hands up, Tipsy Trev!" Morgan ordered, before both girls shared a cautious glance at the other as Reece stood, frozen with his head facing the clouds. "Give me your energy, please!" The girls tilted their heads in confusion when Reece dutifully raised his hands into the sky. "Who's voice is that, Uncle Reese?" Billie asked as they moved closer to him. "That's Zagraeus; he's a friend, he's fighting in the tournament with your parents." Morgan quickly rose her hands, with Billie following behind. "If he needs our help, then mom and dad do to." Morgan explained as everyone on Extronima rose their hands to the heavens.
All of the universe's watched in awe as the large screen vanished, gasping when energy flew past them, all combining with Zagraeus's attack, which was growing larger by the second. "This is cheating! He's getting help from the entire Universe!" Berrus yelled as he waved an aggressive finger at Zagraeus. "Inconceivable! This energy is only being collected thanks to Zagraeus. This attack is nothing more than an advanced version of Goku's spirit bomb." Drago critiqued, shaking his head at Berrus.
The Grand Priest nodded in agreement as he watched Zagraeus intently. "This is quite the conundrum indeed… Both sides of the argument have made valid points. Zagraeus is indeed receiving outside assistance in the form of help from his entire Universe. On the other hand, it is as Drago says, it is Zagraeus's own power that allows him to collect the energy that we see fueling his attack." The Grand Priest admitted, scratching his chin in thought. "I have an idea, we shall let Lord Zeno decide." He stated, clapping his hands.
Everyone quickly changed their attention to the Zeno's who starred, wide eyed at Zagraeus's attack. "It's amazing." "I know, it's so cool!" "I know, it's like he's holding a planet." "Yes, Zagraeus is awesome." "The Grand Priest smiled, hearing his master's contentment. "Although he is obtaining outside help. It is Zagraeus's latent abilities that give him the ability to absorb this spiritual energy from others. Goku is capable of such a feat... It is such a shame that he didn't think of it first. By saying that, allow me to repeat that we shall allow it… You wouldn't want to upset Lord Zeno… Would you?" The Grand Priest asked, the disturbed smile returning to his face. "Berrus fell back into his seat, defeated as Whiss, Vados and Marcarita slid closer to Universe 13.
Zagraeus began to laugh as the last of the Universe's donated energy entered his attack. "There's no way!" Berrus gasped as the other Universe's watched; horrified, as the energy ball above Zagraeus became so large, it eclipsed the entire stage. A feeling of dread covered the other Universe's as Zagraeus seemingly began to struggle to hold his attack. "Now Kakarot! Feel the fury of Universe Thirteen, feel the power of the hope of Universe 13… The hope that they have placed in me… Experience our Hell Star Sphere!" Zagraeus rored as he threw his attack at Gogeta.
As the attack rocketed towards him, Zagraeus's copy vanished, leaving Gogeta alone. Without a moment of pause, Gogeta rose his hands towards the attack. "Big Bang Kamehameha times one thousand!" Everyone on the stands sheltered their eyes when Gogeta's attack appeared in a blinding blue light. Seeing his attack, the members of the other Universe's gasped; hopeful that it would be enough.
