Part III.
Onward.
"... I'll make you pay for hurting them… BEERUS…!"
In a fit of undiscovered anger and rage, Yusuke screamed and roared as he charged straight in towards Beerus. Whether the male Saiyan knew it at that moment or not, Beerus quickly let go of Erza and Mirajane from his grasp and floated backwards, allowing Yusuke to follow him. Away from the mages, the Deity dashed forward to land a punch the male Saiyan at this face, only for Yusuke to stand his ground, gritting his teeth as he audibly growled at Beerus while resisting his punch.
"Wha...?!" Beerus exclaimed, pulling back his arm.
"RAGH!" Yusuke roared and swiftly went in for a punch at Beerus himself, but was met with the God's hand to block his attack. There was a difference however, as the God of Destruction skidded back through the ground a moment later from the impact.
Marissa and the Fairy Tail wizards nearby looked on in complete surprise by Yusuke pushing back Beerus. The Deity quickly looked at his hand that blocked the male Saiyan's to see it unscathed, and he inwardly let out a sigh as he looked at the raging Saiyan. His teeth was gritted while his eyes were still pupiless. He stomped towards Beerus as each step shook the area around him, breaking apart the rocks near his feet.
'I never thought he would unleash such power. His time on this planet and the people here has really affected him.' Beerus observed in thought, and it was all he thought until he saw Yusuke shout and scream again as he dashed towards him.
Beerus crossed his arms in front of him as the male Saiyan made contact with his fist, and the next thing that happened was the God of Destruction being flung back from where they were at, away from Magnolia. As he did, debris broke away from the impact and force that everyone else nearby immediately felt.
"Yusuke…" Marissa weakly called out in stupor, her eyes shaking from the sudden burst of power emanating from her surrogate brother. 'This… this is just like the time Trunks was angry against Black and Zamasu…'
"Marissa… w-what's happening to him…?" Levy shakily said, frozen from the look of rage Yusuke held.
"I-I've never seen him this angry before… it's the first time this ever happened…" The Earthling answered, and as she saw Yusuke ball his fists while leaning forward, he then stretched out his body and faced the sky, roaring.
"RAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!"
As he shouted, his power exploded around him once more that forced some to cover their faces from the debris blown away. Knowing the direction where Beerus was, Yusuke leaned forward and rocketed away towards the God, leaving a noticeable crater behind him.
Back at the destroyed guildhall, Ann was supported by Cana after she had crashed not a minute ago. During that time she had felt Yusuke's power suddenly spike, and looked towards a pillar of light out in the distance.
"... let's get back to Whis for now." Ann said.
"R-Right… are you okay?" Cana asked.
"Yeah…" Was all the female Saiyan said as a reply, and she and the Card mage began making their way to the group of observers behind the guild. Along the way Ann spotted the guitar that Lucy and Levy had worked hard on making for her, standing against the wall of the bar that wasn't destroyed as the rest of the guildhall. Seeing her instrument still in one piece, she inwardly let out sigh of relief. 'I'm glad it's safe…'
As they both made their way behind the guildhall, the Fairy Tail members present were looking at the projection Whis continued to bring out from his staff. As they approached, several looked their way with some relief.
"Ann, you're alright." Bisca said with a smile.
"It looks like you're still raring to go." Alzack commented.
"... I'll be going back in just a moment. What's happening with Tarok?" Ann asked.
"I think it's best to see for yourself… it seems he changed." Gildarts said, looking back at the female Saiyan briefly before looking at the projection again.
Curious, Ann briskly went to look at the projection from the Angel's staff, and watched with everyone else for now. She made an audible gasp as she first saw Beerus flying backwards with a somewhat more concentrated look that what she previously saw fighting him prior, and the changed look of Yusuke appearing above the Deity. Ann saw his pupiless eyes, clenched teeth and the dense, golden aura with blue glow raging around his person.
"What happened…?" The female Saiyan asked in shock. From the projection, Yusuke shouted as he dived down for a straight punch, but Beerus leaped over him as the male Saiyan attacked the ground instead. The result, was a devastating blow to the surface as the impact greatly shook the ground. Ann looked ahead to see the collision far away from Marissa and the group of Fairy Tail members that had helped out, and even from where she was at she could feel the impact from his attack.
"Ann, if I may ask, have you ever seen Yusuke react this way before during your times in the Time Patrol?" Whis asked, glancing back at her.
"... no, not ever like this." Ann explained, continuing to observe the projection as she saw Yusuke blocking a punch from Beerus with his forearm, and noticed that he had less trouble doing so than before. Afterwards, the male Saiyan went in for a kick after pushing Beerus' arm away, only for his leg to be blocked as well, the impact resonating through the area. "Tarok has been upset before, but… this is new."
"I see. Going by that, if it's the first time this experience has happened for him we may have a problem if Lord Beerus let's him linger any longer." Whis said.
"A problem…?" Gildarts asked, some of his attention drawn away from the fight.
As Whis was about to begin explaining, Marissa and the rest of the Fairy Tail members suddenly appeared near everyone else, and the Earthling rested her hands on her knees, panting a bit.
"Mari…" Ann went to check on her friend, and was relieved to see her only tired.
"I'm okay… it was looking rough out there so we headed back quickly." Marissa said, looking at the ongoing collision out in the distance that left multiple craters behind.
"Is he going to be alright…?" Mirajane asked worryingly, now back to her normal appearance.
"I was just about to start explaining, so it is convenient for you all to arrive so suddenly. What I was going to say, is that considering this type of experience is the first time for the Time Patrollers, it may be a problem if Lord Beerus decides to allow him run rampant for too long." Whis began saying, catching some worried gazes from the Fairy Tail members.
"A problem… from Yusuke?" Erza bewilderedly asked.
"What could happen if he does?" Gray asked.
"...potentially destroy this planet without knowing it." Whis casually answered, surprising the mages.
"W-What?!" Lucy exclaimed.
"You're telling me that God over there doesn't even have to do the work himself, and just let Yusuke do it?" Gajeel asked in ire.
"Potentially, that is if Yusuke is not under control right now." Whis said, looking into his projection at the fight, more so at the male Saiyan while observing his movements and hummed. "Ann, Marissa. If you would concentrate on how he's fighting currently, what would you two say?"
Both Time Patrollers looked closer into the projection and did what the Angel asked. As they watched, Yusuke and Beerus were currently trading blows against one another. It was more so in Beerus' favor as he continued his punch and kicks. However, more from Marissa's perspective of watching her surrogate brother fight the Deity from before, she noticed him reacting more quickly, and defending more effectively. There were even times where Beerus seemed to have a more concentrated look than before as Yusuke went in with an attack of his own, and made sure the male Saiyan couldn't make a scratch on him. Even Ann had picked up the difference immediately from her observation of their fight from before.
"He's controlled…" Ann commented.
"He's fighting just as he was before… " Marissa added.
"Correct, it does seem that Yusuke has some sense within himself still. Despite the current situation of his anger taking over." Whis said, and turned his body just to he side to look at the mages that had come back from the battlefield, more specifically at Erza and Mirajane. "It's obvious the two young ladies over there has learned to utilize their Ki efficiently. I would assume that Yusuke's time over here has taught the both of you to do so. Is there any other significant reason why this might have occurred?"
Both of the mentioned women looked at each unsuringly as to whether or not they wanted to answer the Angel's questions. When one of them was about to speak up, Ann was the first to say something instead.
"They're both in an intimate relationship with him." The female Saiyan said, not looking back but was still focused on the projection.
With a blush from Erza and Mirajane however, they looked away for a moment out of embarrassment.
"Oh my…! I see. That would explain a lot then. Maybe almost everything. But that's a surprise, aren't people usually very close to just one person?" Whis asked.
"Well… they are… but, I guess this case is just different with them." Marissa said with a nervous chuckle while rubbing the back of her neck.
A roar from Yusuke within the projection brought everyone's attention back towards him. As they looked in time to see Beerus block a punch, the male Saiyan led with a series of hard impacting punches towards the Deity, but continued dodging and blocking his attacks. Able to evade one punch from Yusuke, Beerus went in for another punch to the Saiyan's guts and effectively landed it. But as the Patroller gritted his teeth with an audible growl, his next action completely surprised everyone watching as the enraged Saiyan quickly grabbed hold of the God's wrist.
From everyone observing, as soon as Yusuke gripped Beerus' arm, he rapidly went in to attack with his elbow from his free arm. As he did, he successfully landed it on Beerus' cheek, which at the same time they both separated from each other with the Deity skidding back in the air, a shocked look on his features as his head faced the side.
However, as they all looked closely at Beerus' face, the impact that Yusuke had inflicted on the Deity was unscathed.
"He hit him…" Marissa said in awe.
"That doesn't matter if he can't scratch him…" Ann said with ire, and gritted her teeth. 'If Tarok is at that level currently and still can't do it, we need to try harder…!'
Growling, Beerus ignited his aura and in a fit of fury, he charged straight at Yusuke while he roared.
With teeth clenching harder, Yusuke roared as well as he rocketed towards Beerus as his dense gold aura continued raging around him.
WIth Beerus wanting more of an upper hand, he sped up towards the Saiyan. With a shout, he slammed his fist right on to the Saiyan's cheek, sending him down to the ground. Yusuke, with enough sense, landed firmly before he shouted once more and broke the earth under him when he ascended into the air again right away.
As both of their fists clashed, another large explosion occurred in the sky with large clouds of smoke in waves being blown away, and a large segment in particular blew away as a figure was sent flying out the plumes with another chasing after them. With the color of the streak of their auras being left behind, it was obvious that Beerus had pushed Yusuke back. The Saiyan was about to hit the streets of Magnolia before he quickly flipped upright, and began flying away from the city with Beerus following him, leaving a very large sonic boom in their quake that destroyed the stone streets, nearby market stalls and even tiled rooftops of buildings with confused civilians left behind.
"Mari, let's go." Ann quickly said.
"Right." Marissa responded, and the female Saiyan ignited her golden aura to quickly fly away from everyone else, chasing after the two. The Earthling was about to as well, but looked at both Mirajane and Erza first. "Stay and don't follow us! That goes for anyone else!"
With that, Marissa glowed in her white aura and sped off, with her and Ann leaving behind a small sonic boom as well while at a higher elevation with no damage to the settlement down below.
Upset at the Earthling's words and seeing the speed that both female Time Patrollers took off at, both Erza and Mirajane relented and looked at the Angel's projection with worry, seeing Yusuke fly off with incredible speed from their view. But with no surprise as Beerus was just behind him. The male Saiyan boosted forward, gaining distance away from the God but quickly spun around and charged at Beerus once more. With a grin coming from the Deity, he pulled back at an arm, and swung it as his fist met the Saiyan's, another large shockwave occurring between them both but at a much larger scale than before as the nearby mountains broke away.
Not a moment later, more of the terrain around them continued to be destroyed under their raw power of their ongoing bout, as the nearby mountains and forest began to shift into a battlefield of hell where no one would dare go near to from the constant barrages of loud explosions currently happening.
As Ann and Marissa arrived near the area, they were stopped by a sudden pressure the both of them felt, and could only see multiple mountain peaks falling down to the ground, into the valley and forests.
"It's really more intense than before…" Marissa commented, shakily looking down at the destroyed landscape until a bright explosion happened for a moment, destroying even more of the mountains at a larger scale.
"Despite all of this happening… he must be having the time of his life right now…" Ann said.
"... I don't know about that. I saw how he reacted when Erza and Mirajane got hurt. It just shows how much he cares for them." Marissa responded.
'... that much, huh…' The female Saiyan thought, briefly staring ahead blankly before a large shockwave caught her attention as she and the Earthling saw continuous eruptions of power down below.
As the Fairy Tail members watched both fighters clash their fists against each other once more, a visible shockwave tore the ground and already destroyed trees around them, blowing the debris away. They both retracted from one another not a moment later as they landed on the cracked earth, staring off as Beerus held a hard look at Yusuke's still gritting teeth and angered features… until the former blinked as he saw the Saiyan relax and close his eyes.
The dense aura around Yusuke suddenly vanished as he slouched forward. There was movement on his shoulders as it seemed to be lifted up, almost as if he was taking a deep breath of air before letting it out. As his posture relaxed once more he stood upright, his head facing upward towards the sky. The dense golden aura with the blue outline formed around him again, but rather in a unsightly shape of it spiking continuously prior, it was significantly calmer now but still held a powerful essence from that of a Super Saiyan.
He opened his eyes, as his pupils were now visible. A force was let out around him the moment he opened them fully, strongly quaking the area nearby.
'Oh…' Whis thought in his head as he narrowed his eyes.
"W-Whoa…" Marissa muttered, staggering back from the power that was let out from his surrogate brother.
"Tarok…" Ann said, somewhat snarling as she clenched her fists.
"...!" Erza and Mirajane took a slight step back, with a few of their friends noticing.
"Erza…? Mira…?" Lucy called out.
"What's wrong?" Gray questioned.
"It's just… the power Yusuke is bringing out right now. It feels… overwhelming." Mirajane said, balling her hands for a moment before she went to clutch the locket around her neck with a worried look on her face.
"It does feel different, from before. When he started out... it felt uncomfortable, as if he was a completely different person." Erza said looking downwards before looking up at the projection again to see Yusuke bringing his head down to stare off at Beerus. The first time his pupils were visible for all to see, as they were the usual teal color of a Super Saiyan...but also held a black inner iris. "But now, it's as if I can feel a reassurance from him… that he can do this. That he can win."
"I have faith in him. I do." Mirajane began, and looked towards the projection to see Yusuke crossing his arms to effectively block a punch from Beerus, causing him to skid backwards on the ground. "But he's getting hurt for our sakes… every time that happens I-"
"It doesn't hurt."
"...!" Mirajane, as well as everyone else looked towards the bout to see Yusuke lowering his crossed arms, a small grin on his face as he took a couple steps forward.
"It doesn't hurt Beerus. From here on out we're going to win… and I'll continue my own future in this universe." Yusuke announced, and he spreaded apart his legs on the ground as he began taking a stance while leaning with his right foot out front and his arms were across from each other as he started to lean down. His right arm, lowered in front of him while his left arm was raised up behind him with both his hands tightened into fists. His grin turned to that of a determined smirk, but as it was mainly noticed by two specific woman watching, they noticed a difference in his feature. More… confident, and excited.
'...did he always have a look like that…?'
As Beerus observed, he gave off a toothy grin of his own from the male Saiyan's words. "Don't get too cocky now, brat."
As the Deity said his words, the bright magenta aura appeared around him again with more pressure felt from it than before.
The male Saiyan's excitement grew within him, and as his aura fiercely radiated even more, he took the initiative first as he went ahead to launch a punch with a loud roar towards the Deity that ended with a large crash and another explosion of smoke and dust where he stood. Out from it though was Beerus as he flew upwards with Yusuke just behind him.
Beerus flickered away and appeared right near the Saiyan and swung with his elbow towards his abdomen. Yusuke gritted his teeth from the impact, but held on as another golden glow faded away from his body. When the Saiyan went with another punch, the God quickly caught it near his head, pulled it away and headbutted the Patroller on the head.
"Gah!" Yusuke staggered back a bit in the air with eyes shut, but grinned and chuckled as he opened an eye. Fully stabilizing himself, he took a stance once again in the air.
'Hm, the look on him now looks good than what it was before.' Beerus thought, staring down at the male Saiyan.
"... Whis, with as little time available left… I'm asking you to train me!"
"...I'll beg if I have to."
Beerus observed, seeing the desperation on Yusuke's face as it trembled just the slightest.
"HAH!" Yusuke shouted, his aura coming to life once more as he dashed towards Beerus, and once again the air was filled with continuous barrarages.
"It seems Yusuke has himself situated for the time being." Whis commented, watching the projection. "I must say, his progress is frighteningly quick. Having a good control over his new transformation already isn't something so easy to do."
"You said beforehand that his his race gets stronger the longer they fight?" Gildarts inquired.
"That is correct. As Saiyans continue to struggle, the more they continue to try and overcome it. This would go for any opponent they face with such an overwhelming strength than they do. This case would be a good example, as Lord Beerus is not letting up for a single moment. The longer he does, the more Yusuke and Ann will try and one-up him as they continue fighting. I dare say, they may even close the gap if fighting long enough… but, that is merely wishful thinking with the limited time we all currently have." Whis thoroughly explained.
"Wishful? They can't do it right now?" Cana asked.
"Unless they have the stamina and energy to sustain themselves for a long while, they possibly can. But with how things are at this moment, it is a far cry."
"...how much is a long while?" Lucy skeptically asked.
"Hm… perhaps a few hundred centuries? Hoho!" Whis casually answered while laughing, making some of the members very uneasy.
"That doesn't make anything comforting…" Gray said with a tired sigh.
"But New Guy has something new now! If he didn't then, he can definitely do it now!" Natsu cheered.
"I sure hope so…" Happy said with a hint of sorrow in his voice, floating just near his friend.
With another bright light coming from the projection, their attention was brought back to the fight. With Beerus going in for a punch to Yusuke's face, the Saiyan caught it just a centimeter from his face, and shakily pushed his arm away with gritted teeth.
"You've certainly improved in a short amount of time, I'll give you that. But you need another million years to match me…!" Beerus sneered and swiftly punched Yusuke with his free hand in the face, forcing him to cry out in discomfort as he crashed into the destroyed mountains, and further away.
Beerus' aura appeared around him once more and chased after the Saiyan. As he did so he launched off multiple Ki blasts, enough to completely destroy the landscape at a large scale. There was a line of destruction as the land was completely decimated until an aura leaving a gold streak came shooting up from a far distance, and from it came a very large Ki wave that quickly shot towards the Deity. Dodging upwards to avoid the attack, Beerus very briefly glanced back to see it hit the ground, where a large explosion destroyed a large mass of land behind them that lit up for a long moment.
Yusuke charged in towards Beerus, and with the God quickly noticing he matched the punch that the Saiyan sent out. With another shockwave as a result of their clash, Beerus took the small moment and struck the Patroller's abdomen, and slammed him down towards the ground once Yusuke keeled over.
'Man I'm tired… and even after trying to look like I was alright in front of everyone…' Yusuke thought, getting up from his knees as he panted a bit. He glanced behind him to sense Ann and Marissa flickering in while using the latter's Instant Transmission to travel to him.
"How are you feeling?" Marissa asked in worry.
"Fine… I think." Yusuke said, looking at his hands before clenching them.
"You're not feeling too drained from that form are you?" Ann questioned.
"I'm kind of used to it at this point." He answered, and glanced back up to see Beerus waiting in the air with his hands behind his back.
"Even then, we haven't won yet." She stated.
"... I know. If the fight drags out any longer as well then I don't think I'll be able to go back in this form for awhile."
"You know you can't do this alone."
Yusuke looked at Ann and gave off a grin. "You're right. You rested long enough?"
"Didn't need one in the first place." Ann said, marching up to him.
"Then let's go." The male Saiyan said, and looked back at the God of Destruction in the air. They were both about to head to the skies, but the Earthling stopped them.
"Wait, hold on a second." Marissa ran up to them as both Saiyan's looked back at her curiously.
"Mari?" Ann questioned.
"What's the matter?" Yusuke asked, and he saw Marissa pointing to her neck, which confused him even more.
"Your locket. Give it to me." Marissa said, putting her hand out. "It's a miracle that it's still intact. You wouldn't want to make those two sad by having it destroyed would you?"
"..." He looked down at the silver locket around his neck and smiled. Complying, he took it off and handed it to his surrogate sister. "You're right… thanks Kid. I appreciate it."
As a stinging sensation welled up within Ann when she watched Marissa took the locket away from Yusuke, she tore her gaze away and walked a few steps forward while looking up towards Beerus in the sky.
"We'll be waiting. Win it for all of us you two." Marissa said, and with a smile towards both of the Saiyans, she placed two fingers on her forehead and disappeared a moment later.
"Alright, let's go." Yusuke said, turning around towards Ann, but looked to see her already ascending past the trees, going ahead of him. "Could've waited a few more seconds…"
Hopping up into the air, both Saiyan's soon boosted their speeds to match Beerus high in the sky with the Ann stopping first followed up by Yusuke.
"So the other has joined again. Fine, let's see if that makes a difference." Beerus mocked with a grin, and dropped his arms to the side.
"Get a hit on him, a good one at that. You got it?" Ann said, in a rather demanding tone from what the male Saiyan noticed.
'What's gotten into her all of a sudden…' Yusuke thought as he glanced over at her with a small sweatdrop as she continued staring forward. "Got it."
A sudden burst of power came around Ann as her electrified golden aura came to life. Spreading her arms for a moment before moving them in front of her, golden ki crackled in her palms as she gritted her teeth.
FINAL FLASH!
Ann shouted as her attack fired off towards Beerus. At the same time, the dense aura around Yusuke lit up around him, and he charged in as he flew alongside the female Saiyan's large Ki wave.
The Final Flash clashed against Beerus as he held it off, and the male Saiyan came up from under the Deity starting with a strike from his elbow. Beerus deflected the Ki wave and immediately swatted away the limb from Yusuke to avoid being hit. However not letting up, the Saiyan swung with his left leg to attack, and was blocked from the God before he began flying backwards. Yusuke chased after him, and as he did so several Ki blasts zoomed past behind him towards Beerus. Seeing this, the Deity maneuvered himself in the air to avoid the energy blasts as they destroyed more of the land under them instead. With Ann following both of them high in the air, she continued firing off multiple energy towards Beerus while the male Saiyan himself went with close combat, trying to land more effective blows against his opponent.
With both of their fists clashing, Beerus leaped away once again as more Ki blasts impacted the ground under them, and Yusuke continued chasing after the Deity.
"Tch…!" Annoyed, the God began darting towards the female Saiyan in the air to stop her in the meantime. However, a large energy blast was shot up, forcing Beerus to halt for a moment, giving the male Saiyan enough time to catch up to him from below. Moving back from an uppercut by Yusuke, the Saiyan forced himself to stop just in front of him to fire off energy from his hands point blank with a large roar.
Feeling a hit, the male Patroller waited for the smoke to clear up, and as it did he spotted Beerus with his arms crossed.
But no scratches were to be found on him.
'Damn it…' Yusuke thought with gritted teeth.
With Beerus lowering his arms, he glanced up to see Ann firing off another series of Ki blasts. As they neared him, he extended an arm up with an open hand, and all of the energy attacks stopped moving just in front of him. He closed his hand, and the orbs of light dissipated into the air, nullifying them. He briefly looked at the Yusuke before instantly appeared front of him with a punch already in swing. Blocking just in time, the male Saiyan was able to cross his arms as the Deity connected with his fist, and sent him skidding back far away.
Afterwards, Beerus flew high into the air with speed faster than before, and positioned both his hands facing each other in front of them. A light shined in between them and he soon expanded apart his arms, a large energy sphere in a bright yellow color was formed. It was several times larger than he was, and as he held it up over his head, Beerus immediately threw it down towards the Time Patrollers.
It came descended down rapidly. So fast that it caused both Saiyan's to react only in time for Yusuke to bring up his arms to catch it in his hands, but noticed right away that the sphere was forcing him down to the ground.
"Damn it…! Gah!" Yusuke forced himself to fight back, and he slowed down considerably just above the trees of a forest. He screamed with closed eyes, and began pushing back the large sphere of energy away from the ground. A sudden ease came upon him when he looked to see Ann next to him, and with a shout from both Saiyan's, they began pushing it back even more.
"Get that power of yours out Tarok! Now or never!" Ann shouted.
"I am!" Yusuke shouted back, and power raged behind them as they both continued pushing back.
As both Saiyan's resisted, Ann had noticed a much harder time on her end as opposed to Yusuke's. By this point he had gotten himself situated, and with effort he was pushing back more and more by himself. The female Saiyan did what she could to help out, but it was painfully obvious she was doing too little.
'Tarok hasn't even been able to land another solid hit since I've joined in again… am I even needed…?' Ann shakily thought, and her shaking, winced eyes looked ahead towards her hands pushing against the energy sphere. As she stared in front of her, her mind began drifting.
"Have you heard of that new Saiyan going around fixing stuff lately? They say he's pretty strong starting out."
"Isn't he the one that Trunks and the Supreme Kai of Time summoned through Shenron? That was just about a week wasn't it?"
"Yeah, yeah! He grew up so fast in that week!"
"Idiot, I'm sure he just spent a few years in the Time Nest with the Supreme Kai of Time's help. He's gotta be reliable if that's the case."
A young Saiyan girl glanced over to the side away from the kiosk in front of her, looking towards a group of Time Patrollers gossiping about the newcomer that had recently joined. She had been away during that time with work herself, and have only heard of the said rumors from an Earthling friend she talks to rather frequently.
Just then, a commotion broke out nearby at the zone where Time Patrollers would be sent in and out from missions. A crowd quickly formed to it including the group that was just talking near her. With curiosity getting better of her, she ignored setting up her own mission for the time being and began trotting to the rest of the crowded Time Patrollers as well.
Squeezing past several people, she looked to see a battered up young man in a torn up dark blue Gi. A missing dark blue band was seen on his right wrist as opposed to the dirtied band on his left and both of his white boots had a tint of light brown on it, no doubt from any dust they've picked up. Next to him was a Frost Demon the Saiyan girl was acquainted with as he and the young man began walking towards the grouped up Patrollers.
Murmurs were heard within the crowd as they observed the newly recruit that most have not seen before, the Saiyan girl included as it was her first time.
'Is that really him…?' She thought as she blinked a couple of times and saw the duo stop as they observed the crowd she was in.
"Whoa… what's with everybody here? Did something happen?" The Frost Demon asked as he and the young man looked at the group of people.
"Arc, that's him right?"
"Hey, how strong is he?"
"Can he put a fight?"
"Let's train!"
"U-Uhh…" Arc, the Frost Demon that stood by the young man stepped back with a nervous chuckle, along with the newly recruit who had a nervous look on his face.
"Enough everyone!" Trunks' voice bellowed from all of the talk of the crowd as a path was made way for the Hybrid when he walked through. "Everybody, this is the one that was summoned from Shenron. He'll be helping us from now on, so please show him the same respect that you all have with each other. Why don't you introduce yourself to everyone?"
There was a moment where the young man was silent, and he looked away from everyone else… almost as if he was thinking of something. Then his face brightened up, and he turned to face the crowd again as he bowed his head a bit.
"It's good to meet you all…! I'm Yusuke, I hope we can get along."
"You've talked to him before, haven't you Mari?" The Saiyan girl asked.
"Yeah, I have. But that was just when I was older than him. Now here we are, he's older than me! The Time Nest is really something if the Supreme Kai of Time puts an effort in something." Marissa, the Saiyan girl's Earthling friend who she talks to on a regular basis. "What about you Ann? Have you interacted with him yet?"
"No, I haven't yet." Ann, the Saiyan girl said.
"You guys are both Saiyans. I'm sure you'll get along just fine with him. Maybe take it easy on talking to him and just fight alongside with him though, he couldn't even speak a word when he was first summoned here."
"...As if that'll happen."
"I don't need someone with me on this mission." Ann heatedly said towards Trunks.
"Fighting against Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu while they're constantly powered up consecutively is not something a single person can do alone. If you want to go on in this mission, then I'm assigning someone else with you to help out." Trunks said in a commanding tone, and looked past Ann to see a figure entering the Time Vault. "There he is now."
Ann whipped around to see Yusuke walking down the stairs, and scoffed.
"Him?! Are you serious?!" She screeched out insultedly, which confused the Hybrid.
"Ann, is this really a problem?" Trunks asked with a sigh.
"... did I come at a bad time?" Yusuke asked as he fully arrived next to the both of them.
"Yes!" Ann shouted, whether it was to answer one of their questions or both no one really specifically knew.
"No, not at all." Trunks said… at the same moment as she did. With a sigh he began to talk once more. "Yusuke, I want you to go on a mission with Ann. Help her out to make sure she comes back safely."
"I said I can take care of it myself!"
"You will not. That is final." Trunks said with a glare towards her at this point that caused her to retract a bit. The son of Vegeta looked towards Yusuke next with a hard look. "I don't expect you refuse this either, Yusuke. You're going with her."
"A-Alright… if you say so…" Yusuke said with a sweatdrop, and nervously looked at Ann's fuming face.
"Are you alright?" Yusuke asked, reaching out with a hand down towards a downed Ann, who vigorously batted it away.
"I'm fine…! I don't need you to worry about me." Ann responded through her teeth, and stood up to stomp away from him. "Damn it all…!"
"What the hell is your problem with me?" Yusuke asked in irritation. "You seem to hate me for a reason after we first met after Marissa urged you to."
"Shut the fuck up!" Ann snapped, whipping around and heatedly glared at him. She retracted her clenched teeth and looked away to the ground a moment later. A stinging sensation was felt in her chest at that moment when she was asked that question. Her mind briefly went back to a proud looking Supreme Kai of Time praising over the male Saiyan before she burned that image away.
She was hurting to say the least.
"I don't need this right now." Ann muttered in ire, and brought out the time scroll before white light enveloped both Patrollers to be sent back.
As a small breeze passed through a valley, a lone female Saiyan sat on top of a cliff as her black hair and ponytail went with the wind. She currently had her head resting on top of her knees as she hugged her legs while currently looking over the landscape.
'Maybe I should play some music when I get back…' Ann thought, but blinked a second later and looked to the side behind her to sense a familiar presence arriving.
"Here you are…" The familiar and gentle, soothing voice of the Supreme Kai of Time resonated within Ann, and she felt a sense of warmth that warded off the cool wind.
"Hey…" Ann greeted, and looked ahead at the valley again as the Kai sat down next to her with her legs straight in front of her.
"I heard you and Yusuke had a falling out…" She said, and didn't get an immediate response from the Saiyan but saw her react instead.
"... not that I feel bad about it." Ann finally said.
"You don't mean that…" The Kai said, pulling the female Saiyan's ear to which she winced at. Looking at Ann closer, she saw a downcasted look etched on her face. "What's the matter?"
It took Ann a moment of thought to respond to her question, and she looked at the Kai with hurt in her eyes. "Am… am I even needed anymore…"
"...Ann…" Chronoa immediately knew what she meant, and embraced Ann in a hug around her head with her small arms.. "I'm sorry… it's been so hectic lately too."
Ann didn't say anything, but instead reciprocated the hug back while she nuzzled against Chronoa's chest, and felt the warmth as she felt her hair being caressed.
"Everyone is important, including you. Especially you, to me. I haven't forgotten those times." The Supreme Kai of Time said, and retracted her body to look at Ann with a heartwarming smile and small laugh. "You've grown up too."
"Thanks…" Ann replied with a smile back, and a rare peaceful feature set on her face as she felt relief.
"Please get along with everyone, Yusuke especially. It won't do any of us good if things get out of hand." Chronoa asked as she ruffled the female Saiyan's hair, resulting in her pouting a bit.
"... I'll try."
Ann arrived near a small group consisting of Marissa, Arc, and Yusuke. She was noticed right away as they turned around, away from the kiosk. When both of the male and female Saiyans locked, the former narrowed his eyes a bit and looked away. The action actually, and unusually in her mind, stung within Ann.
"Are you guys going on a mission?" Ann asked.
"Yeah, we are. Did you want to join?" Arc asked, and was answered with a nod. "Alright, I'll adjust the settings for it then."
While it seemed the alien didn't feel it, Marissa could feel an eerie tension between both of the Saiyans, and opted to help Arc with the kiosk. As Yusuke looked to the side and watched both of them tapping on the screen, Ann stepped forward to stand near him, and let out an uneasy sigh.
"... do you know your Saiyan name?" She asked, and he eyed her curiously.
"I learned that it was Tarok." Yusuke answered after a moment.
"Tarok, huh… good name." She responded back, and while she continued staring ahead at the Earthling and Frost Demon, she missed the surprised look on the male Saiyan's face. "...Satsumi is mine."
Once more, she missed the surprised look on Yusuke's face as he looked at her, and blinked when he didn't respond. "Stupid name, isn't it?"
"No, I don't think so." He replied, and it was Ann's turn this time to look surprised when she looked at him. "Every parent has a good reason to name their child they way they want, right?"
Ann mulled over his words, and just a tiniest bit of smiles came up at the corner of her mouth. 'Is that so…'
"Alright, we should be good to go now! Both of you ready?" Marissa said, turning around with a grin as Arc did the same as well.
"Keep up if you can." The female Saiyan said, and gave a challenging stare at the male.
"... You're on." Yusuke responded, smirking.
'Keep up if you can… that's a far cry at this point… for me.' Ann thought, and closed her eyes with gritted teeth. 'Damn it…! If Tarok can do it, then so can I… right…?'
Her hands began burning, and more of her black jacket was torn away from the sleeves. She grunted more as she pushed further alongside with the male Saiyan. Ann glanced towards Yusuke, a complete focused look on his face as he pushed back more little by little further up into the sky.
'...right…?' With a shadow over her eyes, she called out to him. "Tarok…"
He heard her, and glanced over at Ann to see her struggling until they both locked eyes with one another.
"... what does it take?" Ann asked, and Yusuke's eyes widened as he immediately knew what she meant when he looked… at a desperate look in her eyes. "How do you do it…?"
"... why do you want to get stronger?" Yusuke asked as an answer, and grunted as he was able to push back Beerus' sphere more. "Do it for that reason. For me it was for the Supreme Kai of Time and the Time Patrol back then… but now it's different."
'Different…' Ann's mind went straight to that of Erza Scarlet and Mirajane Strauss, and a stinging sensation welled up within her chest again. She forced it back and gritted her teeth out of annoyance, not towards the male Saiyan, but more towards herself.
Ann hadn't known whether the feelings she's suppressed recently had come up since she's arrived on Earthland or back during the Time Patrol. But, a sense of acknowledgement came upon those feelings and at a same time, a sudden fire lit up within her.
'Ah… was it really that simple…?' Any noticeable shaking from the female Saiyan stopped, and she relaxed considerably with a new focus coming about her. Almost not feeling the burning sensation on her hands anymore, she finally found her grip.
The aura around Ann shined brighter, that Yusuke and Beerus noticed immediately. With a look of surprise from the male Saiyan, he observed and pushed back at the same time as the translucent aura around the female Saiyan became more and more dense. The force going against them suddenly eased up the same moment a spike in power was felt from Ann. While it was still a struggle, pushing back the Deity's sphere became more frequent.
'If I got stronger… would you look at me that way as well…?' The tail around Ann unfurled from her waist as it hanged loose behind her. Her Ki continued getting higher and higher, her aura formed into a jagged sphere, and with clenched teeth both her and the male Saiyan shouted as they created distance between them and Beerus' orb.
'Ann… what's happening to you?' Yusuke thought as he continued his focus.
'... her as well…' Beerus narrowed his eyes as he continued watching the Saiyan's struggle as he kept an arm out below.
Ann let out a sudden shout, and as the sphere of energy was pushed back even further, it began letting out visible shockwaves that seemed to warp its surroundings.
With almost no one noticing, and apart from the current winds raging about, Ann's golden hair seemed to have grown longer.
"Whoa…" Marissa watched on in awe, and shivered as she felt Ann's energy spike up. "Her power is going through the roof right now…"
"It… feels like she's going to catch up to Yusuke soon." Erza said.
"That would be correct. It seems Ann has herself situated just like Yusuke now. This battle has seemed to be more meritorious for the both of them rather than the opposite." Whis said, and narrowed his eyes as he let out a smile. "Not only that, but it looks like she is about to hatch out of her shell as well."
"... hatch out of her shell?" Lucy questioned in wonder.
"It's best to keep watching for a better understanding." The Angel responded, keeping an eye on the projection that everyone else did as well.
Ann's dense aura was seen alongside Yusuke's. As they both continued to push, they visibly saw the female Saiyan shouted before clenching her teeth again, her eyes looking fiercely ahead of her. That fierce look from her soon turned into a visible concentration, and almost seemed to snarl… a feral look on her face.
She shouted once more, and with Yusuke doing the same they both sent out a large blast of Ki against Beerus' energy sphere that was just enough to cause an explosion upon impact from both attacks. As smoke cleared away from it, and a light shined brightly from the plumes.
The female Saiyan was seen screaming, and screaming, and screaming as she balled her hands into fists. Soon she faced the blue sky as her roar echoed, visible winds protruded from her power, and her aura became heavy with power.
"W-What's happening to her?" Wendy asked in fright, seeing the struggling look on Ann.
"She's going to be fine… right?" Levy worriedly asked, shaking.
"... is this what you meant by her coming out of her shell?" Cana looked towards Whis with a hard look when she questioned the Angel.
"Yes. Saiyan's do get progressively stronger the more they fight. This is no different, and Ann is simply reaching a higher state than she was before. The same as Yusuke did before." Whis answered.
Slowly, quaking could be felt from those near the Fairy Tail guildhall. It started out small, but gradually it became more and more prominent by the second. Soon, the shockwaves were large, large enough that caused several people to fall down from the shaking.
"Is… is Ann doing all of this?!" Gray exclaimed.
"T-That's some powerup she's getting!" Elfman shouted.
"A-Ah!" Lucy fell on the ground front first, and struggled to look at the projection. As she did so, she noticed Whis casually levitating off the ground. Almost having an exasperated look come about her, she cast it away as Lucy forced herself to look at the projection, and let out a gasp while widening her eyes at the same time. "L-Look…!"
With the shaking not stopping any time soon, most that had collapsed and those that was still able to keep their balance directed their attention to the projection. With some letting out gasps as well, they all began witnessing a change to Ann.
As Yusuke was seen off to the side with his arms crossed from the strong winds, everyone began seeing Ann's golden hair grow longer. As if in a trance from the audience, and almost dismissing the ongoing shaking, they couldn't look away from the female Saiyan as she continued screaming towards the heavens.
Ann's wild hair from an ascended Super Saiyan had reached past her neck, but now it went further than that. Currently, her entire backside was now covered by her golden locks, and it wasn't stopping as her hair continued towards her legs.
"Super Saiyan Three…" Marissa unknowingly muttered out loud. She continued watching Ann screaming as she bent forward. The Earthling saw her friend's features straining, almost in a contortion of pain. But whether or not the female Saiyan was actually hurting, Marissa didn't know.
One noticeable feature of Ann's current transformation that Marissa was able to note was the style of her hair. She was familiar with the wild mane of golden locks that went in several directions, mainly referring back to how Goku and Gotenks looked when they've transformed into this state before. But instead of the wild look, the female Saiyan's hair was more tamed and smooth. Just like her normal hair if she hadn't had her ponytail, that would be unusual for someone from the Saiyan race.
There was one, final scream from the female Saiyan as she outstretched her body, her head towards the blue skies once more. Even the projection coming from Whis' staff brightly lit up from her power. The quaking largely shook one last time for a long moment before it gradually died down. At the same time, the light from the projection dimmed down considerably until finally, the image of Ann herself was seen in her new form.
Dense electricity coursed all around the female Saiyan. Seen with her fists clenched, her strong stature, and hard gaze as she stared ahead, everyone saw Ann with very long golden hair that reached past the back of her knees with the usual splitted bang over her left eye. The lightning continued flashing around her person as she blinked, and looked at her hands with a surprise look on her face.
"Ann… Ann completely changed…" Levy said in stupor, gawking at her current form.
"... what exactly happened?" Erza asked as she blinked in confusion.
"... this is Super Saiyan Three…" Marissa said out loud.
The male Saiyan lowered his arms in front of him to take a clear look at the female Saiyan. He looked on with surprise at her new found powers and form, almost flinching as lightning sparked around her.
"...Ann?" Yusuke carefully called out, relaxing considerably after the intensity he was exposed from just a moment ago, and he saw her look at him with a surprised look after looking at herself.
"I…" Ann was still panting slightly after all of her screaming. After taking a quick look at herself, she looked at the male Saiyan with somewhat of a bright look that even caught him off guard. "I changed…!"
"... how do you feel?" He cautiously asked.
"It feels overwhelming… but I feel great…!" Ann said with a grin, and clenched her fists as more winds were produced from her power where she was afloat.
'I don't think I've ever seen her this excited…' Yusuke thought, slightly shielding himself from the force. When he thought back to the desperate look she had a moment ago, he wondered. "... what was the trigger?"
As the winds died down, Ann blinked as she heard his questions, and her grin slowly faded into perturbed look when she looked directly at him.
"Uhm…" With anxiety washing over her, she was suddenly unable to speak properly. 'I can't tell him… not like this…'
As Yusuke was confused by Ann's silence, dense sparks flashed around them before the golden spherical sensors expanded and faded around the both of them once more. Both Saiyan's went full alert once more as they're eyes hardened and leaped away to evade multiple Ki blasts raining down on them.
As Beerus descended to meet them at their level, he eyed Ann for a long moment before placing his hands on his hips.
"Hmph. So another one got an upgrade. Let's see if that will make a difference." Beerus briefly said before vanishing.
With another glow being emitted off both Patrollers once again, Ann whipped to the side with both of her arms crossed in front of her, and blocked an incoming punch from the Deity.
"Oh… not bad. I vaguely remember Goku using this form against me as well. It only did so little." Beerus said. He leaned back just the slightest and went for a side kick, but made a small noise of surprise when he saw her with gritted teeth as she was able to effectively block his leg.
Ann growled, baring her teeth at the Deity she grunted and quickly grabbed hold of his leg before he was able to get away.
Yusuke appeared behind Ann with his right hand coated in Ki. With clenched teeth, the male Saiyan grunted as he swung his arm, a blade extending out of his hand as it went towards Beerus.
As the blade hovered above Ann, and with the Deity's leg held in place by her, Beerus maneuvered his upper body downwards towards the female Saiyan and dodged Yusuke's attack. Lifting his opposite leg, Beerus went to stomp Ann's face, but she moved her head to avoid it in time. As his feet was right next to her head, he instantly shifted his direction to hit her on the side, forcing Ann to let go of the Deity and snarl in discomfort. Beerus side spun away from both of the Saiyan's, and halted as he was a few meters in distance.
'Her reaction is sharper than before…' Beerus observed, and glanced at Yusuke next. 'Same as him… Practically everything about them has significantly heightened, and they keep learning.'
A small grin was kept intact on Ann's features while Yusuke held a blank stare, both of them keeping their eyes on Beerus. The Deity shifted his eyes between them constantly before blinking.
'At their current level, they're a lot different when we first started. So different that it could become dangerous against anyone else. These two… are different from those two as well…' Beerus thought, as his mind briefly drifted to two particular Saiyan's. As he did, a grin of his own appeared as well. "Time to have some more fun."
An image of Ann seemed to fizzle out, and the next thing Beerus' body did on its own was extend a hand out above him as he caught a kick from the female Saiyan. When he did, they both rocketed down towards the ground a high speeds, leaving a large torrent of winds behind them.
'The kick she did before… this is the same with more power put into it." The Deity thought, feeling the wind against his back as his tail and ears moved above him while looking at Ann.
"RAGH!" Ann roared, her power igniting around her as she boosted her speed towards the ground. Feeling her long hair going up above her from the strong winds, she saw the ground coming closer and closer as they both continued to descend.
However, she quickly noticed being slowed down… to the point that they completely stopped.
"What?" Ann felt her leg being shifted, and looked down to come in contact with Beerus' eyes. A grin was seen from him as he tightened his grip on her, and threw the female Saiyan down towards the ground.
Shaking off the sudden surprise, Ann forcefully stopped herself that a force was let out behind her, blowing the leaves and branches of the trees below her.
"HAGH!" Yusuke came jetting in from above with his right arm extended outward, a blade visible on his hand as he aimed at the back of Beerus' head.
The God, without looking, simply moved his head first and then his body as the male Saiyan zipped past him. Yusuke flipped around stopped just next to Ann, the both of them looking up at the Deity.
"You can do more, right?" Yusuke asked, glancing at Ann.
"Of course I can…" Ann replied, insulted. She let out an echoed shout as her aura lit up around her once more with strong winds being produced around her.
With another golden glow being emitted off of them, Ann dashed forward towards Beerus, and he did the same. They both clashed their fists together, a sudden shockwave protruded out from them that destroyed the ground and trees under them.
Ann attacked with her knee next, with Beerus stopping with his hand. Sensing Ki coming his way, Beerus looked ahead once more to see a bright blade nearing him, and tilted his head to the side to avoid it. Slamming his fist on Ann's face, she was sent crashing down to on the ground, and the Deity dashed towards Yusuke with an immense speed. Beerus almost thought he hit a hard wall, as the male Saiyan was seen with his arms crossed in front of him, blocking his fist while clenching his teeth.
'He's still able to withstand…?' Beerus idly thought before putting in more power and pushed Yusuke to the ground with a hard slam.
The God of Destruction landed on the ground between both Saiyans. As he looked back between both areas with dust picking up, he brought up both arms to defend himself from a hard kick that Yusuke and Ann swung almost out of nowhere. Still composed, Beerus gripped onto both of their ankles, and slammed them down hard on the ground under them.
Seeing both Ann and Yusuke have their backs thrown against the ground, it cracked under them as they were seen with clenched teeth. The Fairy Tail continued watching as both Saiyan's immediately recomposed themselves, shaking off Beerus' hold on them and began their counterattack against him.
Trees were destroyed, more of the earth were as well. Deep cracks were made into large trenches, and would even go as far as large craters that drastically changed the landscape. Mountains collapsed in just a few punches, animals ran, galloped and flew from the intense battle.
The battle was intense enough that shockwaves reverberated throughout Fiore. It had been for awhile now to the point that those from Fairy Tail had gotten used to it, still feeling the shaking but paid no mind to it. Unfortunately, the same could not be said with everyone else within the country, and most likely the surrounding lands as well.
"Fiore is not going to be the same after this…" Levy said, downcasted.
"Not to mention all the attention we might get as well. The Council isn't going to let it slide this time." Gray said.
"... then the guild won't be safe…" Wendy said sadly.
The revelation that the young Dragonslayer had spoken brought a new uneasiness in many of the member's minds. However, a few more large shockwaves from the ground and most of their attention was brought back to the fight.
Beerus was still blocking, more so than dodging at this moment they saw. The hard impacts from both of the Saiyan's constantly changed the surroundings around them until they were seen within a landscape with several large mountains behind them.
There was a moment where the Deity held both his arms just above his head, and shoved the Saiyan's away so that he leaped back. Yusuke and Ann were seen panting a bit, looking at Beerus who narrowed his eyes.
Beerus, dropped his arms to his side, and tilted his head down slightly while closing his eyes.
As the shaking stopped in the meantime, there was a sudden tension upon everyone as they saw the Deity stand still. A few moments passed before he straightened himself up, and opened his eyes to look at both of the Saiyans. Beerus slightly spreaded apart his legs on the ground, balled his hands into fists and held it up just above his waist.
Seeing that Beerus was ready, Yusuke was the first to charge in at fast speeds. It looked liked as if he was going in front of the God head-on, until the Saiyan suddenly appeared behind him with a swipe from his arm.
However, just at the last second that, Beerus ducked, almost getting hit by Yusuke. The Saiyan landed on the ground with one feet, and launched his knee, aiming at the backside of his opponent. But just like before, at the last second, Beerus fluidly moved his body away to evade the Patroller's strike. He didn't leap away, but instead stood right next to Yusuke after the evasion, catching his confused look.
Beerus didn't allow Yusuke to catch a moment before grabbing his leg and threw him back to where Ann was. The male Saiyan caught himself with a hand on the ground before using the momentum to leap back onto his two feet.
"Hmm… now I wonder if Lord Beerus is actually having a rather tough time, or just testing himself with this." Whis spoke up.
"What do you mean?" Marissa asked worryingly.
"It's best if we continue watching, I may be wrong." Whis said with a gentle smile and eyes closed, before looking back at the projection a moment later.
Ann had talked to Yusuke in the meantime, and with a scrunched up look from the latter he took a stance before charging in once more while the former held back up observe.
A straight punch was launched from the male Patroller at Beerus, but the God tilted his body once more to dodge. Followed up with another punch from his opposite arm towards Beerus' head. The unfortunate result was him dodging the opposite way to avoid the punch. Afterwards, a flurry of punch and kicks from Yusuke was seen, with the same results as his other attacks from before. The difference rather, that Beerus was seemed to naturally avoid being hit at all.
Beerus then caught Yusuke's arm, halting him completely that caused him to have a surprised look on his face. Not a moment later, Beerus jabbed a fist into Yusuke's abdomen, hard. So hard that it caused the Saiyan to cough out blood, and was sent flying back so fast that it passed by Ann… and into a column of mountains that entirely collapsed as soon as the male Saiyan went through them.
Ann looked and shouted back, calling out Yusuke by his Saiyan name until she snapped back towards Beerus, who was already in front of her with a kick in motion. She didn't have time to react, as the kick made an impact on her face, and the female Saiyan was sent away, crashing through the falling mountains that has yet to hit the ground.
Beads of sweat fell down from several of the member's face as their shocked looks was all they could do. Speechless as they saw both of the Saiyan's easily taken down by the Deity, already having arrived at where they both crashed and hovered above the site.
"What Beerus was doing just now… isn't that…" Marissa couldn't find the words, a sudden fear welled up as she thought about it that Whis had no problem answering.
"Yes… Ultra Instinct."
April Fool's everyone! Well, at least outside of this story. It's not April 1st as I'm typing all of this out but it probably will be, during, or has already passed for some of you. Took a bit longer for me for this chapter this time around, but here it is.
About that...
It's rather insulting for one to think that, Just Because I Take Awhile To Write Out A Chapter That I Would Have That Feeling Of Dropping it. No, that is entirely not the case. I have said numerous times in the past that I have college to focus on, and that I do try to make time everyday for my story. It may not be for a long while that I sit down and type out what comes next in the scenes, but it is still progress nonetheless. So please, Do Not think that I don't want to do this story anymore, because that is downright DISRESPECTFUL.
Anyway,
There were some cool predictions about what Ann's new form is gonna be, and if you'r reading this then most likely you know that yes, it is the Super Saiyan 3 form. Now... I have thought about giving her the same type of power the new Broly had with his Oozaru powers but still in human form. But because there hasn't really been enough information for me to go on after seeing the movie over and over again and looking at the wiki, I decided to go another route. SSJ4 wasn't really an option, I couldn't imagine her being in that form even though she still has her tail. I didn't want to go for another Super Saiyan Rage since I decided Yusuke would have it. An entirely new form that Toriyama, Toei, or Toyotaro hadn't come up with I wouldn't do, it'd probably be passed off as a bullshit thing I came up that I would get yelled out by some of you guys.
Even though I kinda had trouble coming up with how Ann went and achieved SSJ3. But what were your guys' thoughts? I understand that intense training is needed, for Goku's case especially when he was able to go into SSJ3 in the Otherworld. Gotenks... well, hm. So instead of going with other form already existing and coming up with one of my own that I would most likely never do unless for maybe plot reasons which will still probably be not the case, I ended up with how the trigger for her worked. I have brought in a bit more of a background for Ann and her time in the Time Patrol (though whether a full story of my CACs will ever come to be, it'll probably be in the far future). Already taking in some things about Ann that I had mentioned back during the Edolas Arc where she conversed with Lucy while being imprisoned, and being with Wendy in my original mission arc a few chapters back, I basically added more in. At this point, Ann does acknowledge Yusuke to be an interest. Whether he'll reciprocate those feelings will be in a future story coming up very soon.
Not much else to say but coming up with the fight scenes can be a bit difficult, and I am ending it the next chapter as it will conclude. That is also kinda the reason why it took a bit longer, because if some of you actually read through between the three of them fighting and imagining the entire thing then I thank you. It took a bit of watching other anime's and going back to DBZ/DBS fightings to get some inspiration.
That's about it, but if I had to, I wish that the Dragonball Super anime will be amazing, because there has been a lot of reliable sources saying it'll come back in the late spring this year starting off with the Moro Arc. If that's the case, I'm all excited for it.
Also, WE HAVE HIT OVER 500 FAVORITES AND FOLLOWERS! Thank you so much to those reading, because seeing those notifications does give me more inspiration as well to provide for you readers out there that have and still enjoys my story. Thank you again everyone!
Until then.
