Chapter 10

Universes United

The climactic battle in the highlands of Yunzabit is in full swing and the Girls, the Z-Fighters and the champions hold their ground against Zulfer's relentless horde.

Krillin: Man! These guys sure don't know when to let up, do they!?

Android 18: There's just no end to these creepy-crawlies!

Tien: How much longer do you reckon we can keep this up, Gohan?

Gohan: (he knocks down an elite trooper, grunts) Ngh! Hard to say! We'll just have to hold out for as long as we can! They may have strength in numbers, but we've got teamwork on our side!

Piccolo: (he spotted Blossom with Jiren and Hit) Wait... Isn't that Blossom fighting alongside Jiren and Hit!

The rest of the Z-Fighters turned to Blossom who's teaming up with Hit and Jiren while fighting off Zulfer's Legion.

Krillin: HEY, BLOSSOM! (he waved at Blossom) WE'RE OVER HERE!

Blossom: (she turned to the Z-Fighters) Guys!?

Jiren: Go forth, child! Your friends will be needing your help more than we do! We'll hold off the enemy from here!

Blossom: (nodded) Right!

Blossom flies over to her friends while Jiren and Hit protect her from Zulfer's Legion.

Krillin: Where've you been, Blossom!? Glad you could join the party!

Blossom: Feeling's natural, Krillin! (she knocks down a Legion trooper)

Piccolo: But where are the other Girls!?

Blossom: Funny story, actually! We kinda got separated the moment we joined the fight!

Piccolo: Well, that figures. They're probably lending a hand to the other champions as we speak!

Blossom: Oh, I just hope they're okay...

Elsewhere, Buttercup is reluctantly helping the Kamikaze Fireballs during the battle.

Buttercup: This is just perfect! Of all the champs out here, I just had to get stuck with that pudgy princess and her backup dancers!

Buttercup watches as an entire garrison of soldiers form a seemingly impregnable barrier in front of the Kamikaze Fireballs.

Trooper #1: There's nowhere you can run and you're completely outnumbered! Surrender yourselves!

Roasie: Surrender? HAH! I don't think so!

Kakunsa: That's just not love's style!

Ribrianne: Indeed! Love just keeps on burning, shines as bright as the sun and never surrenders! (makes a fiery heart gesture) BURNING LOVE!

Buttercup: (she talks to herself, annoyed) Wow. Does she ever shut up?

Kakunsa/Roasie: May our feelings...

Ribrianne: Burn their way into you! (sweetly) Hope you brought some sunscreen!

Trooper #1: (irritatedly growled) I've heard just about enough out of you! (he turned to his men) Prepare to fire!

The troopers pointed their weapons at the Kamikaze Fireballs as Ribrianne looks back at Kakunsa and Roasie and gives them a wink.

Ribrianne: Well, girls? We know how to handle these thugs, right? (giggles and winks)

Roasie: (winks back) Of course we do, Ribrianne!

Kakunsa: (winks back) Let's give 'em a dose of love they'll never forget!

Ribrianne jumps on top of Roasie, who boosts her high into the air, then Kakunsa jumps up, catches her, spins her around to build momentum and throws her at the barricade with extreme force.

Roasie: (she launches Ribrianne skyward) Ally-OOP!

Kakunsa: (she catches Ribrianne) Rrrrrrrrgh! (she spins Ribrianne around, builds momentum and throws her at the troopers) HYAH!

Trooper #1: FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

The troopers fire all their weapons at Ribrianne, but their firepower has no effect on her as she starts spinning horizontally in a spiral motion, becoming enveloped in flame in the process and turns into a flying drill of fire.

Ribrianne: Careful now! These feelings I'm sending to you are RED HOT! Here they come! (giggled) PIROUETTES OF FLAME! MAIDENLY ERUPTION! MAIDENLY DRIIIIIIIILLLLL!

Trooper #1: Brace for impact, men! Stand your ground!

Ribrianne: (she charges at the troopers in a drill motion) Out of my way! OUT OF MY WAAAAAAAAAY!

The soldiers braced firmly as Ribrianne charges at them, but she mows right through the middle and blows them away like bowling pins, leaving behind a river of molten lava in her wake.

Troopers: (overwhelmed screaming)

Ribrianne: (stops and giggles cheerfully) Maidenly strike... number... (she strikes a cute pose) one!

Buttercup: (unimpressed) You can't be serious.

Ribrianne: (she brushes her hands off) Well, I certainly hope you've enjoyed that demonstration of my new, improved Maidenly Eruption: Blaze of Love! Great love incinerates, sets fire to and melts anything in its path! And can even reach the temperature of the sun!

Buttercup: Whoa. That does sound intense... (annoyed) BUT I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED!

Ribrianne: (she cleared her throat) A-hem... Moving along. Let's see who's next.

Kakunsa is seen bounding amidst the cliffs, effectively evading the troopers' firepower.

Kakunsa: HA! You call those weapons!? (she creates an ice bow and frozen heart-shaped arrows out of thin air) I'll show you weapons! ICE ARROW OF LOVE!

Kakunsa launches her ice arrows and they quickly flash freeze the ground as the troopers have trouble standing on it.

Troopers: (they loses their balance on the ice) WH-WH-WH-WHOA! (they fell on their butts)

Trooper #2: (he rubbed his butt) Ow...

Trooper #3: AAAGH! My biscuits are frozen! I CAN'T MOVE!

Kakunsa: (chuckled) Cold enough for ya!?

Ribrianne: (she explains Kakunsa's new powers) In addition to Kakunsa's passionate animal instinct, she can now flash freeze her surroundings to her advantage and fashion deadly ice weapons out of the moisture in the air to aid her in the hunt.

Buttercup: (thinking) So she can use ice powers too, huh? Blossom's not gonna be happy.

Kakunsa fashions four swords of ice for hands and feet and starts skating on the frozen ground.

Kakunsa: FROZEN AMORE SWORDS!

Whilst skating around gracefully, she gives some troopers a few cuts of her swords and they freeze solid afterwards.

Trooper #1: (gets cut by Kakunsa's swords) AAAARRRRGH...! (freezes solid)

Kakunsa: (she comes to a complete stop after freezing the enemy) Darn am I cool!

Ribrianne: And last, but certainly not least... (she looks down on Roasie)

Roasie: (she attacked the troopers relentlessly with electrified punches, while also firing electrified Ki blasts) YAAAAAAA CHA-CHA-CHA-CHA-CHAAAAA!

Troopers: (they struggled to keep up with Roasie's attacks) Ooo! Uch! Argh! Eee! Ngh! (they find themselves surrounded by electrically charged Ki blasts) Uh-oh...

Roasie: Ya-choooooooo... HOY! (her Ki blasts electrocute the troopers in all directions)

Troopers: (they got electrocuted) RRRRRRRRGH!

Roasie: And they're... OUT of here!

Ribrianne: (she explains Roasie's new powers) Roasie's Yaccaina Ken arts have been blessed with the power of lightning. Her attacks increase in voltage the more she strikes and whoever gets caught in her onslaught is in for a real shock! (giggles at her wit)

Kakunsa: (she noticed a group of troopers approaching to Roasie, gasped) Roasie! Behind you!

A group of troopers tries to get the jump on Roasie, but thanks to Kakunsa's warning, she becomes aware of their strategy and turns into a bolt of lightning to quickly evade their attack.

Roasie: (she changes back from a lightning bolt) Thanks, Kakunsa! I owe you one!

Kakunsa: (she creates several discs of ice) Don't mention it! And here's a little something extra!

Kakunsa throws the discs towards the enemy and Roasie uses them as mirrors to reflect blasts from her wrist mounted laser guns.

Roasie: (she took aim) Time to put the buzz on you evil doers! Yaccha... YACCHAINA TRICK SHOT! (fired) Roasie's laser blast reflects off the discs and zapped every trooper it hits.

Troopers: (they got zapped) AAAAARGH!

Roasie: A perfect bullseye!

Ribrianne: She's also learned some new sharp shooting tricks from Harmira, one of the best marksmen in the 2nd Universe. In short, her attacks are unpredictable like lightning, yet, hard-hitting like thunder.

Roasie: (she strikes a cheerful pose to a loud thunderclap) YAAAAAACCHAINA!

Ribrianne: So now, you understand entirely the depth of our red-hot passion!

Kakunsa: And that's only the tip of the iceberg!

Roasie: Beneath our electrifying appearance lies remarkable strength!

Kamikaze Fireballs: AND NOW, LET IT SET YOUR WORLD ALIGHT!

Buttercup: (groaned) Where are my sisters...?

Bubbles: (nearby, applauded) INCREDIBLE! YOU LADIES ARE AMAZING!

Buu: (nearby, applauded) YEAH! VERY AMAZING! BUU SURPRISED!

Buttercup: Oh, there you are, Bubbles! Where've you been?

Bubbles: Buu and I ended up with those freaky robots and that mad scientist nutball from Universe 3.

Buu: (he shook his head) Buu no like them.

From their spot in the trenches, they caught a sight of Dr. Paparoni and his robots blowing away the troopers in their path.

Koitsukai: BEAM KAI! (fires eye laser)

Pancea: (folds up his limbs and charges the troopers at full tilt)

Borareta: EXECUTE PUNCH BORA! (punches the ground with his fists, sending the troopers flying in all directions)

Dr. Paparoni: (hysterically laughed) That's right, my pretties! Mow them all down! Leave nothing behind!

Buttercup: (sarcastically) Well, I guess he's enjoying the party over there.

Bubbles: I don't like him at all...

Buttercup: Awwww! Why couldn't I have been stuck with those awesome tin-cans, instead of... (she pointed to the Kamikaze Fireballs) ...those Elementubbies!?

Kamikaze Fireballs: (offended) HEY!

Bubbles: Because we all have to help them get rid of these goons! (she punched one of the troopers on the left) So pull yourself together, Buttercup!

Buttercup: (reluctant groan) Okay! Fine!

Bubbles: (gasped) Here comes some more!

Buu: BUU GOT 'EM!

Buu fires a barrage of Ki blasts that blows the incoming troopers away.

Roasie: Hang on... Isn't that the pink creature that scared us half to death?

Buttercup: (smugly) What's the matter? Are you scared of him?

Kakunsa: Hey! He just caught us completely by surprise, okay?! We're not afraid of him!

Buttercup: (scoffed) Ooh, suuuuuure.

Bubbles: (she pointed behind the Kamikaze Fireballs) LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!

A titan trooper jumps down on the Maidens from above and is about to clobber them until Buu jumps in to save them.

Buu: BUU SAVE YOU!

Buu defeats the titan trooper with a single blow to the head, then grabs him by the legs, spins him around and throws him out of sight. The Kamikaze Fireballs are breath taken by Buu's valiant actions, much to the disgust of Buttercup and the amazement of Bubbles.

Buu: YOU GO MORE FAR, OR BUU TURN YOU TO CHOCOLATE AND EAT YOU! (he turned back to the Kamikaze Fireballs, smiled) You okay? Buu beat bad guy now.

Kamikaze Fireballs: (delightedly) Oh, thank you! You're our hero!

Buttercup: (unenthusiastically) Yeah. Nice one, Romeo. (she looked elsewhere) Wonder how the other Girls are doing?

Meanwhile, Butterfly and Bouquet are reluctantly fighting alongside Vegeta, the Trio of Danger and Monna's crew, much to their annoyance.

Butterfly: (she uses her telekinesis to push back one of the troopers) Take that!

Bouquet: (she transformed into a horse) Neigh! Time for some galloping!

Lavender: I know I keep asking this, brothers, but why did we have to get teamed up with those pipsqueaks!?

Basil: Yeah, nobody asked for their help! (he kicks down a trooper) UGH!

Bergamo: Regardless of them being a mere inconvenience, (he punches down another trooper) these scum are really throwing everything they've got at us!

Basil: So what!? We can still take 'em on our own!

Bouquet: Hey, we are trying to help each other! (she kicks one of the troopers with her back legs) The very least you can do is say 'thank you'!

Butterfly: And then we'll say 'you're welcome'! Isn't that what teamwork is all about!?

Lavender: (growled) Well, if you were from the 9th Universe like us, you wouldn't be thinking that way! Where we come from, it's every pack for itself!

Butterfly: Well, that doesn't sound like any universe I want to live in!

Bouquet: I'm with you, Butterfly.

Bergamo: HMPH! Well, that's your loss, you little bug-eyed shrimps! Now, GET LOST!

Vegeta: (he turned to Butterfly and Bouquet) Don't bother with these mutts, you two! They're much too 'hard as nails' to be reasoned with!

Bouquet: I can see why!

Butterfly: (she pointed to Monna's crew) And I doubt those guys over there are any better!

Butterfly and Bouquet watched as Monna and her crew utilize underhanded tactics to battle the Legion.

Ganos: Looks like they've got us outnumbered a thousand to one, huh?

Monna: (grinned) Problem is, if you mess with Universe 4...

Dercori: (she readies her energy talismans) Then you'd better expect the unexpected!

Dercori throws her energy talismans all over the area surrounding her victims and uses them to cast the troopers into a world of illusion in a bid to psyche them out.

Dercori: (chuckled sinisterly) Have a nice trip! (cackled evilly)

The troopers are thrown into pitch black darkness and are unnerved as Dercori's laughter echoes in all directions. They get scared out of their wits when they see a gigantic shadowy manifestation of Dercori towering over them and they get surrounded by an army of her clones.

The giant Dercori raises her fist over them and slams it down, when in real life, Monna expands her body and squashes them.

Dercori: (depraved laughed) Zulfer isn't the only one that can scare up some nightmares!

Monna: (she shrinks back down to normal, chuckled) That's our talisman artist for ya!

Bouquet: Whoa. (she transformed back into her normal self) Whatever that witch did to those poor soldiers, she really scared the pants off of them!

Butterfly: Yeah, me too!

Just then, Butterfly and Bouquet noticed a gigantic musclebound titan trooper ready to retaliate against Monna's crew and are convinced to spring into action.

Butterfly and Bouquet try to bring the titan trooper down, but he remains unfazed by their attacks.

Butterfly/Bouquet: (shocking gasped)

Titan Trooper: (chuckled menacingly)

The titan trooper grasped Butterfly and Bouquet in his hand and puts the squeeze on them. They try calling Vegeta for help, only to find that he has his hands full dealing with two other titan troopers.

Butterfly: (being squeezed by the titan trooper) Hey...! Let us go...!

Bouquet: (being squeezed by the titan trooper) I can't... breathe...!

Butterfly: Vegeta... Help us!

Vegeta: (he wrestled two another titan troopers) Argh... Can't you see I'm busy!?

Bouquet: Just... great...

Ganos: (from below) HEY! Who asked you two midgets to interfere!?

Butterfly: (being squeezed by the titan trooper) We were... (gasped) trying... to lend a hand... to you guys...!

Bouquet: (being squeezed by the titan trooper) That's right...! But now I think... we could use a hand ourselves...

Ganos is greatly insulted by Butterfly and Bouquet trying to offer some help to him and the rest of the crew.

Ganos: (enraged) You don't think... we can handle these thugs...? (roared) I'M GONNA PROVE YOU WRONG!

Ganos surges with bolts of electricity and assumes his monstrous bird like transformation.

Ganos: (he finished his transformation) You'd better not show any gratitude after this! Nobody's asking for that either!

Butterfly and Bouquet watched as Ganos leaps high into the air and brings the titan trooper down with his signature move.

Ganos: It's talon time! GRAND EAGLE!

Grazed by Ganos' attack, the titan trooper falls to the ground with a crash, letting go of Butterfly and Bouquet in the process.

Bouquet: (sighed in relief) Phew... I thought we were goners...

Butterfly: You're telling me. I was feeling like a toothpaste tube back then!

Ganos: (from below) HEY YOU! Still don't think we can take care of ourselves!? Why don't you do us all a favor and mind your own business!?

Monna: Yeah! And another thing, don't you little brats have yourselves to worry about!?

Butterfly/Bouquet: (confused) Huh? (they turned and saw the remaining troopers coming) Yikes!

Butterfly and Bouquet shut their eyes tight as the incoming troopers are just about to get the jump on them when suddenly, Broly shows up and blows the enemy troopers away with a single attack.

Butterfly: Are we... toast?

Bouquet: (she slightly opened her eyes) I... don't think so.

Butterfly and Bouquet saw Broly reverting back to normal and standing silently right beside them. They soon get the impression that he just saved them.

Butterfly: Wow! This guy looks really strong!

Bouquet: You think he's the one who saved us?

Broly turned to Monna's crew, who fled to fight somewhere else, then he starts looking at Butterfly and Bouquet.

Butterfly: (sheepishly) Uh... Thank you?

Butterfly and Bouquet then hold their heads and braced for the worst until they notices Broly helping them up and realized that he is not as uncooperative as the Trio of Danger or Monna's crew.

Butterfly: Huh? You're really nice.

Bouquet: Even though you look a little scary.

Broly sees even more troopers coming towards him and flies off to face them, leaving Butterfly and Bouquet convinced that not everyone on the battlefield is an uncooperative jerk.

Butterfly: (she turned to Bouquet) Well, at least not everyone out here's a total jerk.

Bouquet: (nodded) Mmhm.

Vegeta: (overhears, disgruntled) Why do I have to come off playing 'nanny' to those bug-eyed brats?

While the other Girls are trying to get used to their champion teammates, Blossom and the Z-Fighters are still holding firm against the Legion's onslaught.

Blossom: (she punched the trooper with her fist) Hmph! (she turned around and saw another trooper coming towards her) I think it's time for you to say 'FREEZE'! (she uses her ice breath on the trooper)

Krillin: Nice one, Blossom! You sure iced that guy pretty good!

Blossom: Thanks, Krillin.

Tien: Keep holding firm, everyone! There has to be an end to these guys somehow!

Just then, Tien heard Chiaotzu's voice telepathically echoing in his mind.

Chiaotzu: (telepathically) Tien? Tien? Can you hear me?

Tien: (telepathically) Chiaotzu?! Where are you?

Chiaotzu: (telepathically) I don't know. It all happened so fast. I remember that monster shouting at me, then I got blown very far away from you. I must've been blown half way across the world.

Tien: (telepathically) Well, I'm glad you're still in one piece, Chiaotzu. But there's something I need for you to do.

Chiaotzu: (telepathically) What is it?

Tien: (telepathically) You'll have to get back to Capsule Corp and tell Bulma what's going on over here!

Chiaotzu: (telepathically) What will you do?

Tien: (telepathically) Right now, we're being overrun by Zulfer's flunkies! The others and I are gonna see if we can hold them off!

Chiaotzu: (telepathically, concerned) Wait! I-I can still help you!

Tien: (telepathically) No, Chiaotzu! It's too dangerous for you to be here! You have to get to Capsule Corp now! There isn't much time!

Chiaotzu got concerned right after Tien said to him, but he knows that he's right.

Chiaotzu: (telepathically) Alright. Good luck, Tien. (he flies off)

Chiaotzu starts flying over great distances to Capsule Corp in West City, all the while, worrying about Tien's well being.

Chiaotzu: (concerned) Tien, please be alright.

Meanwhile, back on Brimstrom's command deck, Zulfer's generals are furious over their troopers getting swiftly depleted by the opposing warriors.

Mavrich: (frustratedly growled) ARGH! Those loathsome champions and their new friends are far more trouble than they're worth!

Bassalt: I daresay they're so... so...

Granite: Annoying?

Dulcera: Resilient?

Gaboro: Powerful?

Mavrich: Even so, our men are proving to utterly useless, getting mowed down swiftly by the opposition! Our master will be greatly displeased... No doubt he'll have our heads for this!

Bassalt: (worriedly) This truly is a grim state of affairs...

Granite: Sir? What are your orders now?

Mavrich: Suppose we have little choice. Send out the beast immediately!

Other Generals: (horrified gasped)

Granite: Mavrich, you don't mean...

Dulcera: Ogneus...?

Gaboro: But sir! With all due respect, only our master was able to control that thing!

Mavrich: (frustrated) Well, what other choice do we have...? Just... release him... NOW!

Other Generals: SIR!

Mavrich: And we will also join in the battle in case he fails too!

Back outside the fortress, our heroes continue holding their ground against Zulfer's forces until they heard an earth-shaking roar that unnerves everyone in the battlefield.

?: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhh!

Ribrianne: What the heck was that!?

Buu: Buu no like this…

Dr. Paparoni: That roar... Could it be?

Bergamo: (he gets pumped up) Finally, something interesting!

Blossom got startled by the roar coming from inside Brimstrom until she spotted the other Girls teaming up with the champions from other universes.

Blossom: Girls!

The other Girls turned and saw Blossom waving at them.

Girls (except Blossom): BLOSSOM!

The Girls regrouped and started wondering what that roar was all about.

Butterfly: We've just heard this big roar! I think it's coming from inside the fortress!

Blossom: You Girls heard it too?

Buttercup: We sure did! Whatever that was about, it sounds like something HUGE!

Bubbles: Is it a T-Rex!? I hope it's not!

Bouquet: (she turned to Bubbles) Uh... I don't think it's a T-Rex, Bubbles.

Blossom: (worriedly) Bouquet's right. Whatever let out that roar sounds a lot bigger and meaner.

Zulfer's Legion is greatly imperiled and panicked by hearing the roar of the beast.

Trooper #4: (nervously) Oh no...! I know that roar anywhere...!

Trooper #5: (nervously) Our commanding officers must be insane to bring out that beast!

Trooper #6: (shocked) Ogneus!? (panicked) OGNEUS! WE'RE DOOMED!

Basil: Ogneus!? Who the heck's that!?

Ganos: Who cares!? Whoever he is, BRING 'EM ON!

In the middle of their battle, Goku and Zulfer heard Ogneus as well. Zulfer started grinning with malevolent delight.

Zulfer (True Form): (grinned evilly) So, my generals have decided to release my pet? This should be interesting...

Ogneus: (from inside the fortress) GYAAAAAAAaaaaaah!

Zulfer (True Form): (depraved cackled) And he sounds HUNGRY!

Goku: (enrage growled) Now what are you trying to pull, Zulfer!?

Zulfer (True Form): You may have closed the power gap between us both with this... Autonomous Ultra Instinct, but will you use it to defeat me or save your friends!?

Goku: (angered growl)

Zulfer (True Form): (he turned to Goku) Goku of the 7th, behold my glorious pet, the legendary apex predator of the 8th Universe... OGNEUS!

A colossal door outside the fortress opens and a ravenous kaiju sized alien behemoth reveals himself and lets out a deafening roar, much to Zulfer's delight and everyone else's horror.

Zulfer (True Form): (evilly chuckled) Well, it looks like Ogneus is ready to have some fun! (he calls to Ogneus) CRUSH THEM ALL!

The Girls took two steps back when they saw Ogneus for the first time.

Bubbles: (horrified) I've got to admit, it's definitely not a T-Rex after all.

Butterfly: (horrified) You don't have to say it twice.

Bouquet: (horrified) What is that big thing!?

Blossom: A gigantic monster!

Buttercup: Aw, yeah! Finally, some challenge! Those soldier boys were getting boring anyway!

Butterfly: (she turned to Buttercup) What are you NUTS!?

Blossom: Well, whatever that thing is, we'd better be ready for whatever it has to throw at us!

Bubbles: (worriedly) I hope you're right about this, Blossom.

Elsewhere, the Trio of Danger and Monna's crew are intrigued by Ogneus' entrance.

Basil: Whoa! That's one big quarry!

Lavender: (depraved chuckle) But I strongly doubt it's anything we can't handle!

Bergamo: Don't get to complacent, brothers! That thing may look all big and clumsy but none of us know how hard it can hit!

Ganos: Scratch that! The bigger they are, the louder the boom!

Ganos unleashes a barrage of attacks to the side of Ogneus, but the monster remains unscratched as its scales prove too hard for Ganos to penetrate.

Ganos: What the... Not even a scratch!?

Dr. Paparoni: (stunned) Of course that attack didn't work... I've read all about Ogneus! His scales are stronger than Kachi Katchintite! They're impregnable!

Ganos: (shocked) WHAT!?

Dr. Paparoni: (frustrated) Not even the full force of a doomsday device can even hope to leave a single scratch in that armor! It would take a miracle!

Dr. Paparoni is too dismayed by Ogneus' entrance to notice Roasie swiping his cane from his hand.

Roasie: (she swiped Dr. Paparoni's cane) YOINK!

Dr. Paparoni: Wha- MY CANE!

Roasie: HA! I'll bet you use this thing to control your toys! Sorry, doc, but I'll need to borrow this for a while!

Dr. Paparoni: GIVE THAT BACK, YOU WITCH!

Dr. Paparoni tries to get his cane back until Kakunsa traps him in an armlock.

Kakunsa: (she arm locked Dr. Paparoni and smirks) Oops...

Dr. Paparoni: (he tries to struggle loose, growled) Well, good luck trying to break into that thing and even if you do, you don't know how it works!

Roasie: Eh... I'm pretty sure I can figure it out.

Roasie attempts to interface with Dr. Paparoni's cane and it displays a holographic keyboard with alien characters in front of her.

Dr. Paparoni: (panicked) KOITSUKAI! PANCEA! BORARETA! STOP HER!

Kakunsa: Go for it, Roasie!

Roasie: Here goes! Yacchaina Hack Attack! (she started mashing the keyboard like crazy) Yaaaaaa- cha-cha-cha-cha-CHA!

In mere seconds, Roasie manages to gain access to the cane and the tree robots started shorting out.

Koitsukai: (shorting out) DANGER! DANGER! UNAUTHORIZED SOURCE CODE DETECTED!

Pancea: (shorting out) SECURITY PROTOCOLS OVERRIDDEN!

Borareta: (shorting out) EMERGENCY REBOOT COUNTERMAND FAILURE!

Unable to stop Roasie from hacking into their command directory, the three robots shut down for a few seconds before reactivating under the Kamikaze Fireballs' command.

Koitsukai: (powers back up) NeeeeeewwWWW COMMAND PRIORITY ACCEPTED! NEW MASTERS, RIBRIANNE, KAKUNSA, ROASIE! NEW PRIMARY FUNCTION, SUPPORT THE GREAT CAUSE OF LOVE!

Dr. Paparoni: (distraughtly) No... My beautiful creations... Look at what you've done!

Ribrianne: All we did was show your toys the light. They're on our side now!

Dr. Paparoni: HMPH! So what if you're in complete control of my creations!? I doubt even they would make a dent that monster's armor!

Ribrianne: Well, maybe you might be willing to give up the ship, just because that beast's scales are impenetrable, but we won't!

Dr. Paparoni: (disgustedly) GAH! You Three Maidens of Universe 2 make me SICK! I simply do NOT understand you at all!

Kakunsa: Jeez, doc! You really need to... (she tosses Dr. Paparoni aside) ...CHILL! (she uses an ice based attack to freeze Dr. Paparoni solid)

Dr. Paparoni: (through the ice) You'll regret this!

Ribrianne: Robots! There has to be some kind of weakness somewhere in that monstrosity's armor! We ask that you spread out and see if you can find it so that we can jump in and finish the job! (sweetly) Understood?

Koitsukai/Pancea/Borareta: WE OBEY!

The reprogrammed robots circled around Ogneus and start scanning the beast for a weakness while the other warriors notice Zulfer's Legion fleeing in terror at the mere sight of Ogneus.

Trooper #7: (frightened) It's Ogneus!

Trooper #8: RETREAT! RETREAT!

Trooper #9: HEAD FOR COVER!

Krillin: Whoa! Those guys are really scared of that thing!

Jiren: Tch! Cowards!

Hit: (he crosses his arms) Scared of a mark, huh?

Jiren: At least that thing, whatever it is will prove a more worthy challenge.

Jiren and Hit get ready to battle Ogneus and charged it down until they get interrupted by Mavrich and Bassalt.

Bassalt: I don't think so!

Jiren: Who said that!?

Mavrich: (he shows himself) Jiren, the indominable champion of the 11th and Hit, the legendary assassin of the 6th, your reputations precede you!

Bassalt: But if you want to bring down Ogneus, you'll have to go through us first!

Jiren: Very well, then come at us if you must!

The Z-Fighters watched from nearby, completely unaware that they are being approached by two more of Zulfer's Generals.

Krillin: Where'd those guys come from!?

Tien: No idea, but Jiren and Hit can take 'em no sweat.

Granite: (from behind) Maybe you should start worrying about yourselves!

Piccolo: (he turned around in shock) YOU!?

Gaboro: Prepare yourself, 7th Universe scum! We're going to crush you in the name of Lord Zulfer!

Piccolo: Well, we'll see about that! (assumes battle stance)

While the Z-Fighters have their hands tied with Granite and Gaboro, Hit starts undermining Mavrich's and Bassalt's strength.

Hit: Admit it. You're concerned that Jiren here would bring down that monster in a heartbeat, aren't you?

Mavrich/Bassalt: (gasped)

Jiren: Let's see how long it'll take to bring you both down first!

Jiren, Hit and the Z-Fighters started brawling with Zulfer's generals as the battle in Yunzabit starts growing even more intense.

Meanwhile at Zeno's Palace, Beerus is taking another sip of pretend tea from his teacup.

Beerus: Thank you, sire. This tea is simply delightful. (he mutters to himself) It tastes like plain old oxygen.

Eventually, the Grand Zenos grew bored of their non-existent tea party and started demanding some real entertainment.

Grand Zeno: Hmm... I'm getting bored.

Future Grand Zeno: Yes. This non-existent tea party is no fun anymore.

Champa: (panicked) AH! W-Wait, sires! Before you can obliterate us, don't you want to see what's happening in other universes first!?

Quitela: (nervously) Yes! YES! Surely there must be something out there in the multiverse that's much more entertaining than this!

Grand Minister: You're quite right, gentlemen, for there's a great battle being waged in Universe 7 as we speak, in a place called the Yunzabit Highlands, on Earth.

Beerus: Oh, great! Just what has that blithering baboon, Goku gotten himself into now!?

Grand Minister: I'm afraid Goku isn't the only one being involved.

Beerus: He's not?

Grand Minister: No. In fact, all the other missing champions have been rescued and are fighting this battle as well.

Rumsshi: Wait... Are you saying…

Grand Minister: Indeed. (serious expression) This is regarding the Collector of the 8th, Zulfer.

The gods are horrified over hearing Zulfer's name and started to grasp the seriousness of the battle being waged on Earth.

Champa: (shocked) Zulfer!? Not him again…

Heles: That repulsive savage!

Belmod: I hear you, Heles. That guy's bad news.

Sidra: Just hearing that name is enough to make your skin crawl...

Quitela: I really hate that guy...

Beerus: I wonder what that slimeball's done this time?

Grand Minister: Why don't we take a look?

The Grand Minister summons a giant crystal ball over the table that displays the battle in Yunzabit to the Grand Zenos, the Gods of Destruction and their respective Supreme Kais.

Champa: (he spotted Zulfer fighting with Goku in the crystal ball) Hey, there he is! (he noticed Zulfer's true form) Oooh... And look at him now. He's even uglier than I remember.

Grand Zeno: He is very nasty.

Future Grand Zeno: Super-duper nasty.

Shin: (notices Goku fighting Zulfer) AH! There's Goku fighting him now and he's... He's...

Beerus: (surprised) Ascended to Autonomous Ultra Instinct again.

Sidra/Rumsshi: (surprisedly gasped)

Gowasu: (shocked) What did you just say!?

Roh: (shocked) Autonomous Ultra WHAT!?

Khai: It's a level of power that not even we gods could reach. Goku has demonstrated the full extent of its capabilities during the Tournament of Power.

Gowasu: (solomnly) And we didn't last long enough to see it in action.

Roh: (sighed) Don't remind me.

Beerus: (he noticed the Girls fighting along side with the champions) Hmm... And what's that?

Shin: (horrified) Wha... What are those little girls doing in the middle of that firefight!? And... (becomes curious) Who are they?

Fuwa: (surprised) Well, whoever they are, they're certainly putting up a decent fight, despite the odds!

Champa: (curiously) Indeed. They're certainly not any kids I've ever seen before. I mean... just look how big their eyes are.

Roh: (disgustedly) EUGH! I bet they're from Universe 2!

Quitela: (to Heles) HEY, EYELASHES! New friends of yours!?

Heles: You bite your tongue, vermin! Besides, if these children were inhabitants of the 2nd Universe, I would have known of their existence already! Nothing in my universe can escape these glamorous all seeing eyes.

Eyre: Hmm. They don't even look like they're from this plane of existence at all, do they?

Whis: (offscreen) Indeed they are not.

Beerus: (he turned to Whis) Ah, Whis. About time.

Whis: (he turned to the Omni-Kings) Please forgive my sudden entrance, sires.

Grand Zeno: That's okay!

Future Grand Zeno: The more the merrier!

Whis: Believe or not, I've met one of those little girls who was with Goku at the time. He told me they came here from another dimension.

Beerus: You mean from Other World?

Whis takes another look at the Omni-Kings and remembers that if he told everyone how the Girls came to Goku's dimension, the Omni-Kings would become furious and erase all of reality on the spot.

Whis: (he cleared his throat) Why don't we change the subject, my lord? (cheerfully) Are you enjoying Grand Zeno's non-existent tea party?

Beerus: (sarcastically) It was nice, Whis. Very nice.

Whis: You know, that tone of sarcasm doesn't sound very reassuring.

Pell: (worriedly) WAIT! What about the other champions!? Are they holding out against Zulfer's wrath!?

Heles: (worriedly) Yes! Are my Three Maidens alright!?

Rumsshi: Forget those love-mongers! What about my warriors of the 10th Universe!? (he got out of his chair and shouts in panic) I DON'T SEE THEM ANYWHERE!

Gowasu: (tries to calm Rumsshi down) Please compose yourself, Lord Rumsshi! I'm sure Murichim, Obni and Rylibeu are out there somewhere playing their part as we speak.

Grand Minister: Well, why don't we take a closer look and see what they're doing?

Through his crystal ball, the Great Minister shows Android 17, the warriors of the 10th Universe and the rescued prisoners running through the wrecked fortress and looking for a safe place to hide as the alarm blares.

Prisoner #1: What was all that roaring about!?

Prisoner #2: I really hate this place!

Android 17: Great! There isn't a safe place to hide out in this dump!

Obni: You mustn't give up hope, Brother 17 of the 7th! My family and I are counting on you, and so is everyone behind us!

Android 17: Don't remind me!

Just then, their path is blocked by Zulfer's guards, who immediately take aim at them.

Murichim: Uh-oh! We've got company!

Rylibeu: Oh, perfect!

Obni: (annoyed) Just what we need! Another roadblock!

Android 17: Reckon you can take these guys? I'll see if I can draw their fire.

Obni: Thought you would never ask!

Obni leaps up front before Android 17, and drops his Energy Barrier to protect the prisoners. While the guards try to blast Obni, he uses his energy feint technique to confuse them before beating them up.

Rylibeu: (cheered) Way to go, Brother Obni!

Obni: (he finishes thrashing the guards) There! The road is clear now!

Android 17: You sure showed them! Now, let's move!

Android 17 and the 10th Universe's warriors carried on leading the prisoners in the hallway until they find a safe room to sit out the battle outside.

Obni: Over there!

Android 17: (he looks inside the room) Reckon this room would be safe enough for all these people?

Rylibeu: Hmmm... Looks pretty safe to me. It's certainly better than any other room in this horrible place.

Murichim: PERFECT! (heads inside with Android 17, Obni, Rylibeu and the prisoners)

As they scurry into the room to seek shelter, Rumsshi watches from Zeno's Palace and is so relieved that Obni, Murichim and Rylibeu are fine with the android at their side.

Rumsshi: (sighed of relief) What a relief...

Gowasu: See? You have absolutely nothing to fear, Lord Rumsshi. Our warriors appear to be doing well, protecting all those innocent people.

Great Minister: Indeed, Gowasu. Your warriors, along with Android 17, the victor of the

Tournament of Power are fighting a noble cause, rescuing and defending the regular mortals that Zulfer had abducted from their universes.

Sidra: (grumbled)

Quitela: Pffft! Heroics. How tiresome.

Heles: (calmly) There is indeed nothing more beautiful than a band of heroes risking everything for the sake of the innocent. (frantic anxiety) BUT RIGHT NOW, I NEED TO KNOW IF MY BEAUTIFUL MAIDENS ARE ALRIGHT!

Grand Minister: Alright, let's see how they're performing.

The Grand Minister commands his crystal ball to show the Kamikaze Fireballs fighting Ogneus with all their might.

Pell: There they are!

Heles: And they're fighting off that overgrown brute!

Eyre: Wait... Isn't that brute... Ogneus!? (scoffed) Then they're already finished!

Heles: Just watch, philistine! The sting of their elemental love is far more potent than you think!

Eyre: (annoyed) Alright, ALRIGHT! Sheesh!

Meanwhile back at the battlefield, the Girls tried to bring Ogneus down with every trick in the book, while Buttercup tries hammers him with a barrage of punches.

Buttercup: (punching Ogneus) Take THAT! And THAT! And THAT! And THAT!

However, despite her best efforts, Ogneus remains unfazed and undisturbed.

Buttercup: (she kept punching Ogneus) Come on! Why don't you go down already!?

While the Girls are trying to slow Ogneus down, Koitsukai, Pancea, Borareta and the Kamikaze Fireballs try bombarding the monster from all directions.

Borareta: BEAM BORA! (fires at Ogneus) Pancea: (fires rapid laser attacks)

Koitsukai: (scans Ogneus) KOITSUKAI TO MAIDEN ROASIE! CONVENTIONAL ATTACKS ARE PROVING INEFFECTIVE! SUGGEST ATTACKING WITH EXTREME TEMPERATURES!

Roasie: Are you sure that'll work!?

Koitsukai: NEGATIVE! SCAN OF TARGET IS ONLY AT 65%!

Roasie: Well, guess it's better than nothing. (she turned to Ribrianne) You got that, Ribrianne?

Ribrianne: Loud and clear, Roasie! Let's bring the heat to that malevolent monstrosity! (she turned to Ogneus) Accept them or not, I'm sending you my feelings! And I hope you like them hot! (she makes a fiery heart-shaped Ki blast and gets ready to fire) Prettyyyyyy... SUN CANNON! (she fires)

Ribrianne's Pretty Sun Cannon made a direct hit on Ogneus, who lets out an angered roar.

Ogneus: (angered) HROOOAAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!

Ribrianne: SUNNY LOVE INFERNO! (she forms a heart gesture with her hands and releases a burst of swirling flame)

Butterfly/Bouquet: (they shriek upon experiencing the heat from Ribrianne's attack)

Bubbles: (she buffeted by the extreme heat, starts sweating) Wow, that's hot!

Ribrianne: AI, LOVE! AMOR! AMORE MIAAAAA! (her attack becomes more intense)

Kakunsa: Aw yeah! Cook him, Ribrianne!

Roasie: Yeah! Show him not to mess with Universe 2!

Buu: (he rubbed his belly) Mmmm, this make Buu hungry for giant s'more!

Ogneus: (enraged) GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaahhhh!

Ribrianne: What's wrong, foul creature!? Too spicy for you!?

Ogneus gritted his teeth in anger as he growls very loudly.

Kakunsa: Uh... I don't think it's spicy enough, Ribrianne... I think you're just making him mad!

Aggravated by Ribrianne's ineffective attacks, Ogneus swats her away, much to the horror of Heles and Pell as they watch from Zeno's Palace.

Ribrianne: (eyes widen) Uh-oh... (she got swatted away) UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Pell/Heles: (horrified gasp)

Pell: (horrified) HOW HORRID!

Heles: (horrified) OH NOOOOOO! RIBRIANNE!

Grand Zeno: (worriedly) Oh no! That must've really hurt!

Future Grand Zeno: (worriedly) It sure did!

Eyre: (he snickered and readjusts his glasses) Serves her right! All that love propaganda was intolerable!

Eyre's comment greatly angered Heles and Pell.

Pell: (angrily) You dare undermine the great power of love that once saved our universe in ancient times!?

Eyre: (smugly) Well, it couldn't save your universe in the Tournament of Power, it won't this time! And that's clear and simple logic!

Heles: (angrily) Your 'logic' is POISON!

Heles and Pell began argue with Eyre in Zeno's Palace, much to everyone's annoyance.

Back in Yunzabit, Ribrianne is seen tumbling further away from Ogneus until she bumps into Dulcera.

Ribrianne: (she looks up) Whuh?

Dulcera: (she looks down, angrily) Ribrianne...

Ribrianne: (angrily) You...

Ribrianne gets up, jumps away from Dulcera and starts fuming with extreme anger over the prison warden's evil actions.

Ribrianne: I remember you... You're Zulfer's horrible prison warden! The way you treated all those innocent people... It really burns me up! MAIDENLYYYY... (she bursts into a violent flame) ANGERRRRRRRRR!

Ribrianne then heard the voices of Buu and her fellow Maidens, who wanted to assist her, but she tells them to carry on fighting without her.

Kakunsa: Ribrianne!

Roasie: Are you okay!? Do you need some help!?

Buu: ME BUU HELP TOO!

Ribrianne: (she turned back to Kakunsa, Roasie and Buu) NO! I can handle this despicable bog witch on my own! You'll have to keep on fighting that beast without me! I know you can do it! You've got this!

Kakunsa/Roasie: (concerned gasping)

Buu: (determinedly grunted)

Dulcera: Those imbeciles really do care about you, don't they? (cackled) Their loyalty to you is sorely misplaced!

Ribrianne: (she pointed to Dulcera) And what about YOUR loyalty to Zulfer!?

Dulcera: Why not!? He's the undisputed ruler of my universe and anyone who defies him will suffer greatly! That means YOU too, warrior of false love!

Ribrianne: We'll see about that! You and the rest of those hateful philistines can call the great power of love false and senseless as many times as they want... but its power comes from the courage, compassion, teamwork and hope in the hearts of everyone in my universe, even in the face of certain doom!

Dulcera: (irritatedly snarled)

Ribrianne: For as long as love's power still burns inside me, there are lives I must protect back home! Their hopes... Their dreams... Their happiness... THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER!

Android 18: (watches) Wow. Guess I must've really knocked some sense into her, huh?

Dulcera: (enraged growl) Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP, SHUT UUUUUUUP! (she attacks Ribrianne)

Ribrianne: (she blocked Dulcera's attack) Cruel follower of Zulfer, you've stood for tyranny and hate long enough! Now prepare for the raging inferno... (she charged at Dulcera) ...OF RIBRIANNE!

Ribrianne engages in battle with Dulcera as the gods kept watching from Zeno's Palace.

Kuru: Looks like Ribrianne has her hands tied with Zulfer's prison warden as we speak.

Quitela: Perfect. Now, if only she'd stay that way. She's hogged the spotlight long enough already.

Heles/Pell: (disgruntled grumbling)

Roh: (impatiently) Bother that pot of jelly! What... about... MY TRIO OF DANGER!?

Back at the battlefield once again, Blossom uses her ice breath at Ogneus.

Ogneus: (angrily growled)

Ogneus shrugs off Blossom's ice breath with ease and tries to swat her away.

Blossom: WHOA! (she quickly flies away from Ogneus) That monster's not gonna be easy to beat!

Bergamo: Well, it's not going to be easy for YOU at least!

Basil: But we can take him no sweat!

Lavender: It just needs a little more underhanded approach! (he blows clouds of purple smoke onto his hands)

Blossom: (shocked) Wh-What is that stuff!? It sure doesn't look very friendly!

Lavender: Of course it doesn't! It's the strongest poison in the 9th Universe! All I have to do is reach under those lousy scales so I can give that dumb beast a full dose!

Blossom: (disgustedly) Eww... That's nasty!

Basil: You tell her, bro! I'll see if I can pack at that thing's knees!

While Basil and Lavender ran off to face Ogneus, Bergamo stays behind and taunts Blossom into hitting him.

Bergamo: Hey, you! Girly! If you want to prove yourself useful, (he lets down his guard) then hit me!

Blossom: Hit you?

Bergamo: Yeah! Come on! Give me your best shot!

Blossom: (sheepishly) N-Now hold on! Don't you think you're being a little too-

Bergamo: (irritatedly growled) JUST DO IT! PULVERIZE ME NOW! (mockingly) Or are you too girly to land a decent punch!?

Blossom: (insulted) What...?

Bergamo: I'm waiting! Don't leave me hanging now! I bet you punch like a pathetic... little... GIRL!

Blossom is greatly insulted by Bergamo's comment that she attacks his abdomen with extreme force until she runs out of steam.

Blossom: Okay! Now you're asking for it!

Bergamo: (he absorbs Blossom's attacks and chuckled sinisterly)

Blossom is greatly shocked when she sees Bergamo absorbing her attacks and growing to the same size as Ogneus.

Butterfly: Whoa! Is it just me or did the big bad wolf just get bigger!?

Vegeta: (surprised) What the-!? Kakarot never told me he could do that!

Bergamo: (he grew into gigantic size and chuckled menacingly) Thanks, child! I really needed that! (he flicked Blossom away)

Blossom: (she got flicked by Bergamo) AH! (she crashed into a huge rock, groaned and rubbed her head) You're welcome...

Bergamo: (he turned to Ogneus) Now let's see if you can handle a champion your own size!

Ogneus: (angrily growled)

Back in Zeno's Palace, The Grand Zenos become excited over Bergamo's handicap, while Roh gloats over how superior the Trio of Danger is compared to the Kamikaze Fireballs.

Grand Zeno: (excitedly) Wow! He's gotten giant again!

Future Grand Zeno: (excitedly) Now, they're both the same size!

Grand Zeno: This is gonna be fun!

Roh: (maniacally and laughter) That's my Trio of Danger for ya! And that's what makes them FAR superior to those brainless, repulsive, pathetic, annoying THREE MAIDENS!

Heles: (angrily) What absolute ugliness! Those three mongrels are no different from that white devil!

Roh: (scoffed) Well, that's a compliment coming from you!

Pell: Easy, Lord Heles. Remember, pride comes before a fall.

Eyre: (he readjusts his glasses, smugly) Oh, sure. Like how much pride you had with your 'love', right?

Pell: (disgruntled growl) Just watch, egghead! They're going to bungle their strategy faster than they can say 'whoops'!

Back in Yunzabit, the giant Bergamo started wrestling Ogneus, while his brothers try slowing the beast down.

Bergamo: Come on, you brainless beast! Is that all you got!?

Ogneus: (angrily roared)

Meanwhile, the three robots complete their analysis of Ogneus' defenses and report their findings to the Kamikaze Fireballs.

Koitsukai: (communication) KOITSUKAI TO MAIDEN ROASIE! SCANNING AND ANALYSIS OF TARGET OGNEUS, NOW 100% COMPLETE!

Roasie: Great timing! Now where's that beast's weak spot?

Koitsukai: HIS SOLAR PLEXUS, BUT HIS DEFENSES ARE STILL FORMIDABLE! SUGGESTED COURSE OF ACTION, RESORT TO PLAN X!

Roasie: Plan X? I'll need to read the manual about that one. Just give me a sec... (she uses the cane to project a holographic manual)

Kakunsa: In the meantime, let's just see if those big bad wolves can nail that monster first.

Buu: (distrustfully grumbled)

The Trio of Danger hold out against Ogneus for as long as they can, but Lavender still has trouble getting under the beast's scales and Basil started running out of steam.

Lavender: (irritated) Gah! I can't get under these stinkin' scales! Just what is this thing MADE of!?

Basil: (he tries kicking Ogneus' knees) No idea, but it ain't so tough!

Bergamo: Just keep trying to slow him down, brothers! He has to tire eventually!

Butterfly: Okay, it's my turn now! (she uses her telekinesis to hold Ogneus)

Vegeta: (he tries to stop Butterfly) NO, BUTTERFLY! WAIT!

Butterfly concentrates as hard as she can to hold Ogneus down, but the beast proves too strong even for her.

Butterfly: (struggled) Urgh! I can't hold him much longer! (she turned to Bouquet) Bouquet, do something!

Bouquet: I'm on it, Butterfly! (she transformed into a pachycephalosaurs) Ready or not! Here I come! (she charged at Ogneus)

Bouquet tries giving Ogneus a series of violent headbutts, but her attacks prove ineffective and she comes down with a splitting headache.

Bouquet: (she reverts back to her normal self as she rubbed her head) Ooooh... I've got a headache...

Their fruitless attempts to subdue Ogneus only makes him even more angry as he shrugs Butterfly and Bouquet off, then grabs Basil and Lavender and throws them right into Bergamo's face with extreme force.

Basil/Lavender: (they get thrown at Bergamo) AAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!

Bergamo: (he got hit in the face) ARGH!

After getting hit in the face by his brothers, Bergamo loses his balance and falls to the ground with a crash.

The exhausted Bergamo shrinks back to normal size and the Trio of Danger lies unconscious, much to Roh's humiliation.

Roh: NOT MY TRIO OF DANGER! NOT AGAIN!

Pell: (smugly, to Roh) You were saying?

Roh: (frustratedly growled)

Pell: (chuckled) I thought so.

Heles: (she looked at Roasie) Hmmm? It looks like Maidens Roasie and Kakunsa are planning something.

Pell: (intrigued) You're right, Lord Heles! They are! Oooh, this is gonna be good...

Grand Zeno: (excitedly) What are they up to!? WHAT ARE THEY UP TO!?

Future Grand Zeno: (excitedly) I can't wait!

Khai: (sarcastically) Ah, yes. We're just DYING to see.

Belmod: (muttered) There's no way I'm watching this.

Back in Yunzabit, Vegeta scolded Butterfly and Bouquet for failing to subdue Ogneus and unintentionally foil the Trio of Danger's strategy.

Vegeta: (angrily) WHAT A MESS! You call yourselves heroes!? Now look what you've done!

Butterfly: We were just trying to help!

Bouquet: Yeah! And another thing, I thought you didn't like those wolves!

Vegeta: Well, they would have at least pulled off their strategy without a hitch and beaten that behemoth if you two hadn't screwed up!

Butterfly: We're so sorry! (she talks to herself) Sheesh. What a grouch-bag.

Bouquet: I hear you, Butterfly.

Vegeta: (exasperatedly grumbled)

As Butterfly and Bouquet complain about how grouchy Vegeta is, Roasie orders the robots to converge on her position.

Roasie: (she giggled and twirls Paparoni's cane) It's show time! 3rd Universe squadron, fall in!

Koitsukai, Pancea and Borareta converge on Roasie's position and get ready to fight Ogneus.

Back in Zeno's Palace, Eyre and Mule are left in disbelief over their mechanical warriors following orders from a Maiden of Universe 2.

Eyre: (shocked) What the!? They're obeying that love witch from the 2nd!? And when did she get her hands on Dr. Paparoni's cane!? WHERE IS HE!?

Gowasu: Um, Supreme Kai of the 3rd? I would hate to point this out but...

Eyre: (angrily) BUT WHAT!?

Gowasu: (points to Dr. Paparoni's icy prison) It appears the good doctor's been put on ice.

Dr. Paparoni: (frozen, exasperatedly growled)

Kakunsa/Buu: (they scorned Dr. Paparoni, chuckles smugly)

Eyre: (furiously) The absolute nerve! That loathsome Kakunsa and her ice-cold trickery!

Roasie: Are you ready, everybody? We're going to give these cold, hard wind-ups of Universe 3... a much needed makeover! (she twirls the cane around) Love Energy Protocol, ACTIVATE!

The three robots started glowing with a sparkling pink aura as they harness love power provided to them by Roasie through the cane.

Koitsukai: NEW PROGRAM FOUND! INITIATING DOWNLOAD SEQUENCE...

Pancea: BEGINNING LOVE ENERGY CONVERSION NOW!

Borareta: LOVE ENERGY OUTPUT AT 63% AND RISING!

While Ribrianne is fighting Dulcera, she notices this and is delighted.

Ribrianne: (delighted) Wow! Who knew emotionless machines would harness love's power!? Now this has gotten interesting!

Dulcera: You disgust me! (she continues fighting Ribrianne)

Koitsukai: LOVE ENERGY OUTPUT AT FULL POWER!

Pancea: DOWNLOAD SUCCESSFUL! REFORMATTING SEQUENCE COMPLETE!

Borareta: TRANSFORMATION INITIATE!

Koitsukai/Pancea/Borareta: (they glow brighter and roared) LOVE... LOVE... LOVE... LOVE... (they go up in a burst of light) LOOOOOOOOVE!

Buttercup: (exasperatedly) Aw, geez...

Bubbles: (dazzled) WOW!

Roasie: And now, lovely flowers of steel shall bloom over the battlefield!

At Roasie's command, the three robots perform a transformation ritual akin to the Kamikaze Fireballs, much to the surprise of everyone that watches.

Koitsukai: (draped in yellow hearts) FORMATION! KOI-KOI... KOISU-KOISU... KOISU-KOI-SUUN!

Pancea: (draped in blue hearts) PAN-PAN... CHE-AN... PAN-CHE-AN!

Borareta: (draped in pink hearts) BORARETA... BORARETA... BORA-BORA-RETA!

Vegeta, Blossom and Buttercup are greatly exasperated by this garish display.

Vegeta: Aw, COME ON! This is pathetic!

Buttercup: Okay, this whole 'love' thing is getting REALLY ridiculous now!

Blossom: (exasperatedly) I hear you, Buttercup. I'm starting to see what you mean.

Bubbles: (excitedly) OOOH! I wonder what they're going to transform into?

Bouquet: Could be something extraordinary.

Butterfly: Or probably just a major let down.

In due time the robots complete their transformation ritual and assume new forms based on the Kamikaze Fireballs' original outfits.

Koitsukai: THE STRIKE OF LOVE WITH DREAMS AND MAGIC! KOITSUKAI!

Pancea: THE THUNDER OF THE WILD AND THE ROAR OF LOVE! PANCEA!

Borareta: HAPPINESS TO ONE AND ALL! I SEND YOU MY LOVE! (forms a heart gesture with his arms) BORARETA!

Koitsukai/Pancea/Borareta: (they strike dramatic poses) TRANSFORMATION COMPLETE!

In Zeno's Palace, the gods of the 3rd Universe are left mortified and speechless by what the three robots have transformed into, while the Grand Zenos are thrilled.

Grand Zeno/Future Grand Zeno: (excitedly giggled)

Mule: (eyes widen, jaw hits the ground)

Eyre: (eyes widen, mortified) WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA?! (his glasses fall off)

Pell: (delighted) Look at that! Those tin soldiers just got a whole lot more flair!

Mule: Ugh, this is just too painful to watch! I'm outta here! (crawls back into Mosco and closes the hatch)

Buttercup: (unimpressed grumble)

Bubbles: (dazzled) That's so cool!

Butterfly: (she turned to Bubbles) Um... You do realize they're wearing the same outfits as those love ladies, right?

Bubbles: (cheerfully) I think it suits them well.

Vegeta: (he face-palmed himself) You can't be serious...

Dr. Paparoni: (frozen enraged grumbling)

Kakunsa: (smiled) Now that's beauty, baby! The strength of two universes made one!

Buu: Tin cans look pretty now!

Roasie: And we're only just getting to the good part! (she twirls the cane around) Plan X programming phase... ENGAGE!

The cane emits a pink glow and a big X starts glowing in the eyes of the three robots.

Koitsukai: PLAN X... ORDER RECEIVED!

Koitsukai, Pancea and Borareta leaped high into the air and started combining with each other to form an even bigger robot.

Koitsukai: KOITSUKAI!

Pancea: PANCEA!

Borareta: BORARETA!

Pancea formed the torso, Borareta formed the pelvis and the legs, and Koitsukai formed the head and the arms.

Butterfly: Okay, now THAT'S pretty cool!

Buttercup: Meh... Still hard to take them seriously with those frilly dresses.

Blossom: Buttercup, let's give them a chance.

Buttercup: (she crosses her arms) Whatever.

The robots finished combining with one another to form Koiceareta and get ready to face Ogneus in battle.

Koitsukai: KOITSUKAI!

Pancea: PANCEA!

Borareta: BORARETA!

Koiceareta: (strikes dramatic pose) COMBINED!

After Koiceareta lands with a boom, Bubbles applauds his dramatic entrance with delight.

Bubbles: (applauded) YAAAAAAAY! WOO-HOOOOOO! ENCORE!

Back in Zeno's Palace, Grand Zeno and Future Grand Zeno are amazed by Koiceareta's transformation.

Grand Zeno/Future Grand Zeno: WOOOOOOOOW!

Grand Zeno: Look at them now! They've transformed!

Future Grand Zeno: And combined too!

Back in Yunzabit, Bubbles is still applauding Koiceareta's entrance, much to Buttercup's annoyance.

Buttercup: (she turned to Bubbles) Come on, Bubbles! Seriously...!? That's just a frilly ballerina totem pole!

Butterfly: (intrigued) Hmm... I wonder what that thing can actually do?

Dr. Paparoni: (in the ice, distraughtly screamed)

Roasie: The great love of the 2nd Universe and the zeroes and ones of the 3rd, all mixed together to create the ultimate, beautiful combined warrior, LOVELY KOICEARETA! (she turned to Ogneus) Now, brace yourself, scale face! It's time for your punishment!

Ogneus: (roared loudly)

Kakunsa: Hope you're ready, cuz' we're about to beat our feelings into you! (she turned to Koiceareta) Sick him!

Buu: YEAH! Go, go, GO!

Koiceareta: LOVELY KOICEARETA... BATTLE MODE!

Koiceareta charged at Ogneus and engages the monster in a cataclysmic fistfight.

Blossom: Whoa! That thing can hit pretty hard alright!

Bubbles: (excitedly) Go get him, ballerina bots! WOOO!

While Ribrianne is still fighting Dulcera, she is thrilled when she sees Lovely Koiceareta fighting Ogneus.

Ribrianne: (thrilled) Look at that! I'm so proud of my fellow Maidens! They're covering for me flawlessly, while I have my hands tied with Zulfer's vile prison warden!

Dulcera: Hey, we're not through yet, love-mongering scum!

Ribrianne: Tch! Typical black-hearted philistine! No respect at all!

Ribrianne continues fighting Dulcera while everyone else continues watching Lovely Koiceareta grapple with Ogneus.

Ogneus: GYAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhh!

Roasie: (she turned to Koiceareta) Don't let up, big guy! You can do it!

Koiceareta continues fighting valiantly against Ogneus, but the latter gains the upper hand and forces the other down to the ground.

Kakunsa: (growled) Gotta hand it to that beast. For prey, he's proving to be quite a handful.

Buu: (he turned to Koiceareta) You no give up! You beat monster!

Meanwhile, the Z-Fighters managed to blow Granite and Gaboro away and decided to join the fight themselves.

Gaboro: (he got blown away) NO FAAAAAAAIIIIIIIR!

Granite: (she got blown away) YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!

Gohan: Well, that showed them!

Piccolo: But we still have Zulfer's pet to deal with! Vegeta and the Girls are having trouble trying to bring it down!

Gohan: (he looks up at Goku battling Zulfer overhead) Well, my dad would find a way, but he's got his hands full right now, we'd better jump right in there and take that thing down without him!

Krillin: What are you CRAZY!? That thing looks like it can eat... well... ANYTHING!

Piccolo: Well, we can't just stand here doing nothing! The Girls and Vegeta need our help!

Tien: Piccolo's right! They're in a real tight spot and can't hold out forever!

Krillin: Man, I just love having options...

Piccolo: Then, let's go! (he and the other Z-Fighters went off to the Girls and Vegeta' aid)

The Z-Fighters charged at the beast and started attacking him in different locations of his body.

Butterfly: Guys! Great timing!

Buttercup: (she calls out to the Z-Fighters) Glad you guys join in!

Vegeta: What took you so long!?

Gohan: We got a little sidetracked with Zulfer's flunkies, but we took care of them.

Vegeta: Never mind that now! It looks like no matter how hard we hit this behemoth, it just doesn't faze him one bit!

Blossom: So how do you suggest we bring this thing down!? We lay it on different parts of his body, so he won't swat us all at once!?

Vegeta: (sarcastically) You know what!? I actually like that plan of yours, genius! Let's just hit his elbows and knees, and see if he falls!

Piccolo: (he turned to Vegeta and smirks) That's actually not a bad idea!

Vegeta: (surprised) Huh!?

Blossom: Of course! His armor has to be very weak in those areas!

Butterfly: And I bet it's right where his funny bone is!

Bouquet: It's worth a shot!

Bubbles: It certainly beats laying it on him anywhere else!

Buttercup: Then let's give it to him!

The Girls and the Z-Fighters kept attacking Ogneus' joints until the monster falls to his knees. This inspires the other champions to put aside their differences and swarm all over the beast.

Blossom: It's working!

Buttercup: Aw, yeah! He's hurting now!

Bergamo: (scoffed) Those little brats have got a lot of moxie to take that thing on.

Lavender: Are we just gonna sit back and let them have all the fun!?

Basil: NOT A CHANCE!

Bergamo: Then, let's join in the fun too!

Monna: (notices our heroes fighting Ogneus) Huh!? What are those idiots doing!?

Dercori: Whatever they're doing, they're certainly giving that monster some serious trouble. It still looks dangerous though.

Ganos: Scratch that! I'm gonna give it to that thing too! (he charged at Ogneus)

Monna: No, Ganos! WAIT! (to Dercori) Can you believe that kid!?

Elsewhere, Koiceareta manages to get back up on his feet and Kakunsa, and Roasie jump on his shoulders to ride him.

Roasie: (she jumps onto Koiceareta) HI-HO, KOICEARETA!

Kakunsa: YEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW!

Buu: (excitedly laughed) BUUUUUUUUU!

Ribrianne sees her fellow Maidens ride into battle and wants to join them.

Ribrianne: HEY! WAIT FOR ME, GIRLS!

Dulcera: Oh, no you don't! You're not going anywhere!

Fed up with Dulcera, Ribrianne thrusts her fist into the ground and sends an attack right through it, which traps the prison warden in a giant heart of lava.

Ribrianne: You stay right there, evil one! I'll deal with you later!

Ribrianne grows two fiery butterfly wings on her back and flies after her fellow Maidens, leaving Dulcera trapped in her Burning Passion.

Dulcera: (smolders from the extreme heat, agonized enraged roar) Ribrianne... RI-BRI- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNE!

In mere seconds, the Girls, the Z-Fighters and the champions are bombarding the beast in a combined onslaught as he starts growing weaker with every attack he endures.

Butterfly: He's weakening!

Blossom: Just a little bit more, Girls! We almost got him!

Bergamo: Not if we get him first! (he and his brothers performed their ultimate attack) Triangle...

Trio of Danger: DANGER... (fired) BEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAM!

The Trio of Danger's attack makes direct contact with Ogneus and the other champions started going all out against him as well.

Buttercup: Huh!? Where'd those guys come from!?

Bubbles: And look who else is joining the party!

Roasie: Get ready to feel the sting of two hearts beating as one!

Kakunsa: Yeah! Let's give it to him, Roasie! (she and Roasie perform their Elemental Love Symphony attack) Your passion and mine!

Kakunsa/Roasie: AN ELEMENTAL LOVE SYMPHONY! (they created an electrified heart of ice and fire it at Ogneus)

Their combined attack flash freezes and zaps Ogneus, then Broly flies in, assuming his Full Power Super Saiyan form and unleashes a barrage of energy attacks on the frozen monster.

Broly: (transformed) UUUURRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRGGGH! (bombards Ogneus)

Ogneus: (roared in pain) GGGOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!

As Ogneus started struggling against the combined onslaught, Ribrianne flies directly over him and prepares to use her most devastating attack.

Ribrianne: Now, let's see if those scales of yours can endure... (she creates two massive hearts of fire) this sizzling burst of spice! (she fuses the two hearts into one giant attack) ...RIBRIANNE'S CELESTIAAAAAL LOVE! (she throws it down on Ogneus) Kaaaaaaaa... POW!

Ganos: HEADS UP!

Everyone disperses as Ribrianne's attack hits Ogneus from above and leaves behind a heart-shaped lake of molten lava.

Ribrianne: YES! (mockingly) Well, what do you think, beastie!? Is my great love too hot to handle!?

An enraged but severely weakened Ogneus emerges from the lava, much to Ribrianne's surprise.

Ribrianne: (surprised) Oh. Guess not.

Gohan: We're doing it, everyone! Just one more push!

Blossom: Leave it to us, Gohan! (she turned to the other Girls) Ready, Girls?

Girls (except Blossom): YEAH!

The Girls began their one last offensive against Ogneus as Zulfer notices from high above and watches with horror.

Zulfer (True Form): WHAT!? How can Ogneus be failing!? His strength is only inferior to my own!

Goku: Give up, Zulfer! All the champions you've shamelessly robbed from their universes, they're now hitting you all at once like a ton of bricks!

Zulfer (True Form): No matter! They didn't prove much of a challenge alone, but united against me like this? (depraved chuckled) It's like the Tournament of Power all over again!

Goku: (irritatedly growled) Well, I hope it's worth the wait, because now you're gonna get it!

After getting hammered relentlessly by our heroes, the beast becomes even angrier than before.

Blossom: Watch out, everyone! He sounds even angrier than before!

Ogneus: (enraged) GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Buttercup: Ha! I don't think losing your cool's gonna save you now!

But despite being severely weakened, Ogneus shrugs off their assault, pins the Girls down and prepares to finish them off.

Girls: (they got trapped in Ogneus' hand) UWAAAAAAAAGH!

Gohan: (gasped) The Girls! They're trapped!

Piccolo: (shocked) Somehow, that monster's still very dangerous, even in its weakened state!

Krillin: (frustrated) ARGH! Isn't there anything that can take that thing down!?

The Girls struggled to shake themselves loose.

Butterfly: (struggled) I guess he's not going down that easy, huh...?

Bubbles: (struggled) I can't move my arms...!

Buttercup: (struggles to get loose, grunted) We were so close!

Blossom: (struggled) Oh no!? Well, at least we've still... got our eyes open!

Bouquet: (realized) Oh, I get it!

Blossom and the other Girls used their laser vision to fire at Ogneus' chest. In mere seconds, they expose Ogneus' weak spot just in time for Jiren and Hit to strike at his solar plexus with a combined Time Skip attack after dispatching Mavrich and Bassalt.

Jiren/Hit: (use their combined attack) It's over.

Ogneus: (he gets struck down by Jiren and Hit's combined attack) GROOOAAAARRRRRRGGGHH...!

Ogneus has finally been defeated as he falls to the ground with a crash, much to the delight of Champa and Belmod as they watched from Zeno's Palace.

Grand Zeno/Future Grand Zeno: (cheerfully giggled)

Grand Zeno: Bye-bye, Ogneus! You are done!

Champa: (cheered) YEEEEEEHAWWWW! WAY TO GO, HIT!

Belmod: (chuckled) That's our Jiren!

Future Grand Zeno: You know, those little Girls really gave him trouble!

Grand Zeno: Yeah! Their powers are amazing!

Future Grand Zeno: VERY amazing!

Champa: Um... Excuse me for speaking out of line, sires, but why are you cheering those kids?

Belmod: Yes. With all due respect, sires, it was clearly Jiren and Hit that dealt the final blow.

Grand Zeno: Yes, they did. But it was those Girls that exposed Ogneus' weak spot.

Future Grand Zeno: Jiren and Hit wouldn't have found it if it weren't for them.

Champa: (humbly sighed) Thank you for pointing that out, sires.

Heles: Do not forget that our beautiful Maidens lent a hand in slaying that monstrosity as well.

Quitela: Hey, they had help from MY warriors too!

Sidra: And my Universe contributed to the cause as well!

Mosco: (agreeable computerized beeping)

Rumsshi: (disgruntled grumble)

Beerus: Hmmm... Guess we gods can all agree with one another when we put our heads together to face a common foe.

Fuwa: (horrified gasp) Wait a minute! What about Zulfer!? We still have him to worry about!

Champa: (realized) Oh yes! That's right! I almost forgot!

Back in Yunzabit, everyone is relieved that Ogneus has been beaten, but then started worrying about Goku.

Bubbles: (panting) Finally…

Butterfly: (dazzled) WOW! Those guys must be REALLY strong to beat that monster with one blow!

Buttercup: (dazzled) THEY'RE SO COOL!

Blossom: I guess Hit and Jiren are the strongest fighters around, huh?

Piccolo: You got that right. Goku had to go all out to even remotely stand a chance against either one of them.

Bouquet: (she looked at Goku still fighting with Zulfer) Wait! What about Goku!?

Gohan: (worriedly gasped) You're right! How long has it been since he achieved Ultra Instinct!?

Blossom: What are you saying?

Krillin: (worriedly gulped) This isn't good...

High above our heroes, Zulfer is distraught over Ogneus being defeated by his enemies.

Zulfer (True Form): (distraughtly) Ogneus... My beautiful pet...!

Goku: What did I tell you, Zulfer!? Your pet is out of commission!

Zulfer (True Form): (enraged growl)

Goku: This is what happens when the entire cosmos is united against you. And admit it, you saw it coming.

Zulfer (True Form): (enraged roared) GOOOKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Zulfer explodes with a terrifying burst of dark energy and everyone is buffeted by his wrath. Everyone in Yunzabit watches as a plume of darkness covers the sky and spreads over the entire Earth, throwing the whole planet into mass hysteria.

Gohan: What's going on!?

Krillin: I don't know! But I don't like the looks of it!

Vegeta: (trembled) His energy... It's climbing even higher! Who would have thought that twisted freak would have that much power under his belt!?

Tien: It's like one big nightmare!

Meanwhile back at Capsule Corp, Goten and Trunks looked up at the sky as dark clouds appeared.

Trunks: What's going on, mom!?

Goten: I'm scared!

Bulma: (she looks up at the sky, worried) This is just like when Zamasu turned into that ether and messed up Trunks' future world...

Bulma has a terrifying flashback of witnessing Infinite Zamasu's birth.

Trunks: (he interrupts the flashback) Mom? MOM! What are we gonna do!?

Bulma: Huh?

Trunks: Should we use the Dragon Balls now?!

Goten: Yeah!

Bulma: Yes, we should. It's looking pretty bleak out there.

Bulma and the boys are just about to head into the building, when they saw an exhausted Chiaotzu flying in from above.

Chiaotzu: BULMA!

Bulma/Goten/Trunks: Chiaotzu?

Chiaotzu lands and warns them about Zulfer and how he could potentially destroy the whole planet.

Chiaotzu: (panting) We're in... some serious trouble here! Zulfer... has reached his full power... and is going to destroy the whole world!

Goten/Trunks: (panicked shriek)

Bulma: (imperiled) Oh, cripes...

Chiaotzu: Well... It's worse than that.

Trunks: What are you saying!?

Goten: (gulped)

Chiaotzu: (mournfully) He blew up the Girls' Earth back in their world... All their loved ones are gone...

Bulma/Goten/Trunks: (horrified gasping)

Goten: (in horrified anger) That's... awful!

Trunks: (angrily growled) He'll pay for that!

Bulma: And we're next... It's a lot worse than I thought! We've got to summon Shenron NOW!

They rushed back into the building to fetch the Dragon Balls, but Bulma stops half way and looks up at the sky again in concern.

Bulma: (worriedly) Oh, I hope Goku and Blossom are alright...

Back in Yunzabit, Zulfer reaches his full power and threatens to imprison Goku and everyone else in a never-ending nightmare forever.

Zulfer (True Form): The time has come... I shall cast you all into a never-ending nightmare from which you will never awaken... or survive!

Zulfer concentrates his malevolent power into a single point and creates a giant ball of darkness as it keeps growing in his hands.

Buttercup: What the!?

Blossom: Somehow, he's concentrating all that evil energy into a single point in the fabric of reality... and creating a gravitational singularity!

Buttercup: Which means...

Butterfly: IT'S A BLACK HOLE!

Bouquet: That's not good!

Bubbles: We've got to stop him!

Bubbles tries blasting Zulfer, but her blast merely gets absorbed into the black hole.

Bubbles: (gasped in shock)

Zulfer (True Form): (depraved cackled, looks down at our heroes) YES! My Nightmare Vortex is so infinitely dark and dense... THAT NOT EVEN LIGHT CAN ESCAPE IT! And now, this world will be the next to crumble under its weight!

Vegeta: (horrified) He's gone insane!

Goku: Oh no you DON'T!

Goku charged at Zulfer and attempts to stop him from destroying the Earth, but then suffers the long term effects of Ultra Instinct and surges with absolute agony over going past his limits.

Goku: (greatly agonized) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGH!

Krillin: Goku!

Gohan: Oh no! Dad!

Piccolo: Not good... He's experiencing the long term effects of Ultra Instinct again! His mortal body can't handle it!

Eventually, Goku reverts back to his normal self and falls to the ground in exhaustion, as the Girls watched in horror.

Zulfer (True Form): (extra depraved cackle) Immaculate timing! You tried to stop me with a power beyond what your mortal body could handle, and now, you have paid... THE ULTIMATE PRICE! NOW NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME FROM BRINGING A SLOW AND EXCRUCIATING END TO ALL OF YOU!

Everyone looks up at Zulfer in helpless despair as his Nightmare Vortex attack starts growing even bigger.

Zulfer (True Form): Soon, all of you will come to understand how erasure from existence can be a mercy! (he looked around the battlefield below) Now who will be my first victims? (he turned to the Girls which made them concerned) HOW ABOUT YOU!? (he readies a smaller version of his Nightmare Vortex and throws it downwards at the Girls)

Krillin: AH! POWERPUFF GIRLS, LOOK OUT!

Girls: (helplessly screamed)

Zulfer (True Form): DISAPPEAR INTO THE DARKNESS FOREVER!

Zulfer's mini-vortex attack hits the Girls and imprisons them in his nightmare as the Black Puff Girls watched in horror from their hiding spot.

Miyako: (worriedly) Oh no!

Ume: The Powerpuff Girls are in trouble!

Kaoru: I really HATE that sickening parasite!

Cho: How is he so cruel!?

Momoko: I still can't believe we were slaves to that creep!

As the smaller vortex joins with the big one, the Powerpuff Girls find themselves trapped and completely paralyzed in a swirling and screaming abyss of torment. They are unable to speak, breathe or even move a finger. They are left completely helpless as Zulfer's nightmarish face looms over them and he gloats over what his nightmare is going to do to Goku's dimension.

Zulfer (True Form): (extra depraved cackle, echoing) It's hopeless, Powerpuff Girls! My Nightmare Vortex has swallowed you and now, you can never escape! Now you shall ALL spend a maddening eternity, lost in my cesspool of torment and anguish... FOREVER!

Goku: (he looks up and saw the Girls trapped inside Zulfer's Nightmare Vortex, shocked) GIRLS, NO! (agonized) Argh...

Jiren attempts to set the Girls free with a Ki blast, while Zulfer tempts him to fire.

Jiren: (angrily growled) ZULFER!

Zulfer (True Form): (he looks down at Jiren) Hmmm?

Jiren: You have turned our peace into terror! Our hope into anguish! OUR LIGHT INTO DARKNESS! I cannot allow you to persist in this madness another second longer! (he prepares to fire a Ki blast)

Zulfer (True Form): Yes! Go on! Fire away! FINISH ME!

Piccolo: No, Jiren! Don't! You'll kill the Girls if you fire into that thing!

Zulfer (True Form): That's right! Try blasting me and your attack will just get sucked into my vortex and they get BURNT ALIVE! Try reaching into it and you'll be JOINING them! Either way, you LOSE! (depraved cackle)

Everyone is mortified and outraged by Zulfer's horrific cruelty towards the Girls.

Jiren: (frustratedly growled)

Zulfer (True Form): Not that it matters anyway! They're already finished! And so are all of YOU!

Zulfer throws the Nightmare Vortex down towards the ground as it breaks through Yunzabit and creates violent tremors as it descends deep into the Earth's core with the Girls still trapped inside.

Goku: NOOOOOOOOOO!

As the vortex creates a gigantic chasm where it fell, Ogneus' lifeless body falls in and gets sucked in as well.

Zulfer (True Form): It's done! This world is doomed! Right as we speak, my Nightmare Vortex is burrowing deep into the planet's core, where it will consume the whole planet from within!

Z-Fighters/Champions: (angrily growling)

Zulfer (True Form): But it won't stop there... It will then consume the entire Solar System... then the entire Milky Way Galaxy... THEN THE ENTIRE 7TH UNIVERSE ITSELF!

Zulfer's Generals: (horrified gasping)

In Zeno's Palace, the gods of the 7th Universe are horrified by what Zulfer just said.

Shin: (horrified) He... WOULDN'T!

Whis: (shocked) O-O-OH, MY! Sorry, Lord Beerus! Must dash! (he leaves the room)

Beerus: (he shouted at Whis) HEY! Don't leave us hanging, Whis! GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARD!

Back in Yunzabit, even Zulfer's generals were mortified by what their just announced, while the Z-Fighters find themselves in an impossible situation.

Piccolo: (horrified) THAT MANIAC!

Krillin: What are we gonna do now!?

Gohan: (trembled) Nothing, Krillin. I'm out of ideas. Only a miracle can save us now.

Krillin: (shocked) WH-WHAT!? You're kidding, right!?

Tien: N-NO! There's gotta be...!

Vegeta: He's right! We can't just give up now!

Meanwhile, inside the ruined fortress of Brimstrom, Android 17, the 10th Universe warriors and the prisoners are frightened in the safe room as they feel the tremors outside.

Murichim: What's going on out there!?

Rylibeu: What's with... these vibrations!? They're getting worse!

Obni: Could this be it!? Could the end of this world be upon us!?

Android 17: Hope not! We'd better take a look to be sure!

Back outside, Zulfer's Generals protest against their former master, much to everyone's surprise.

Mavrich: Wait, master! Weren't we supposed to conquer this universe and not destroy it!?

Zulfer (True Form): That was just an elaborate ruse to convert you to my cause! These filthy inferior universes and their pathetic champions aren't even worth conquering anyway! (sinisterly grinned) I might even consider consuming the superior universes, including the 8th, until ALL of existence has been unified into one... COLLECTIVE... NIGHTMARE!

Zulfer's Generals: (gulped)

Granite: (horrified) What...?

Bassalt: But why, my lord!? Have you lost your mind!?

Dulcera: (enraged) YOU'RE COMPLETELY MAD!

Gaboro: And to think we served your every whim...

Android 18: (overheard) Great! So now the WHOLE cosmos is screwed!

Krillin: Awww! If only there was some kind of miracle!

Piccolo: Somehow, I doubt even Shenron's gonna help us out of this one!

Back in Zeno's Palace, The Grand Zenos are greatly offended by Zulfer revealing his true plan and the gods are thrown into a panic.

Beerus: (horrified) He really did it. He really has lost his mind, hasn't he?

Shin: And now it seems there's nothing we can do to save our universe now!

Khai: Not only that, but no universe in the entire cosmos will be safe from his wrath!

Fuwa: (panicked) FUUUU-WAAAAAAAAAA! WHAT TO DO! WHAT! TO! DOOOOOOOOO!?

Gowasu: This truly is a grim state of affairs.

Grand Zeno: That guy's bad news.

Future Grand Zeno: Super-duper bad news.

Grand Zeno: A cosmos of nightmares shouldn't exist.

Future Grand Zeno: No, it shouldn't.

Pell: (worriedly) The Omni-Kings don't sound very happy...

Eyre: (horrified) Wait... Don't tell me they're gonna...

Grand Zeno/Future Grand Zeno: (menacingly) We won't let that happen...

Gods: (terrified screaming)

The Omni-Kings raised their hands and they start glowing with a brilliant blue light as they are about to erase all of reality before Zulfer can have the chance to consume it.

Quitela: (panicked) NOT AGAIN!

Roh: No, Grand Zeno! WAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

Champa: NO FAIR! I don't wanna be erased again! I'M TOO YOUNG!

Grand Zeno/Future Grand Zeno: ALL OF EXISTENCE...

Before the Omni-Kings would have the chance to erase all of reality, they stopped as the Grand Minister notices something in his crystal ball.

Grand Minister: (he looked at the crystal ball) Hmm? What's this? (he turned to the Omni-Kings) Sires?

Grand Zeno: (stopped) What is it now?

Future Grand Zeno: This'd better be good.

Heles: (sighed in relief) Phew. That was close.

Rumsshi: Guess we should consider this our lucky break then.

Grand Minister: It appears the Earth woman, Bulma has collected all seven of Earth's Dragon Balls and is going to make a wish to the dragon.

Beerus: (sarcastically) Oh, sure. Let her summon that flimsy miniature dragon and wish Zulfer outta here! (sighs pessimistically) We're doomed...

Back at Capsule Corp as the ground tremors from Zulfer's Nightmare Vortex burrowing deep into the Earth, Bulma, Chiaotzu and the boys brought the Dragon Balls outside and get ready to summon Shenron.

Trunks: There! All of the Dragon Balls are here, mom!

Bulma: Great job, boys! Here goes nothing...

Chiaotzu: Let's hope this works...

They are just about to summon the Eternal Dragon until they get interrupted by the Pilaf Gang.

Pilaf: NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE!

Chiaotzu: Uh-oh!

Trunks: Awww, now what!?

Pilaf: I call dibs on the wish to Shenron! The world is mine to rule with an iron fist!

Bulma: (enraged) YOU IDIOTS! HOW CAN YOU BE THINKING OF WORLD DOMINATION WHEN THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!?

Pilaf: NONSENSE! I suffered my whole life trying to get this wish and I want it now! Even if it's for the last few seconds of our lives!

Mai: (she looked up at the sky and saw the clouds are dark) Uh, sire...? I think she's got a point...

The ground started tremoring more violently.

Pilaf: W-W-Whoa! (he lost his balance and fell on his butt) Oof!

Shu: (terrified) Let's uh... save the wish 'til next year. Okay, sire?

Mai: (terrified) If there even WILL be a next year!

Pilaf: (annoyed) Ooohhh... Why do I have to put up with you losers...?

Bulma: (she breathes in and then out) Okay... Here goes... ARISE, SHENRON!

The Dragon Balls started glowing brightly and a pillar of light bursts from them and takes on the form of the Eternal Dragon, Shenron.

Shenron: I AM THE DRAGON SHENRON, AND I CAN GRANT YOU ANY WISH YOU DESIRE. NOW, SPEAK!

Bulma: Shenron, before I make a wish, I have to know... Are Goku and Blossom alright!?

Shenron: HMMMM... IT DOES NOT BODE WELL, I REGRET.

Pilaf: That doesn't sound good...

Goten: (worriedly) What's going on!?

Shenron: THE ONE CALLED GOKU TRIED TO FACE THE ONE CALLED ZULFER BY HARNESSING A POWER BEYOND WHAT HIS MORTAL BODY CAN HANDLE, AND FOR THAT, HE HAS PAID A HEAVY PRICE.

Bulma: (worriedly gasped) Oh no... Goku...

Shenron: AS FOR THE ONE CALLED BLOSSOM, SHE AND HER SISTERS ARE TRAPPED IN A BLACK HOLE THAT IS BURROWING DEEP INTO THE EARTH, LAYER BY LAYER AS WE SPEAK. WHEN IT REACHES THE INNER CORE, IT WILL EXPAND AND SWALLOW THE ENTIRE PLANET FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

Goten and Trunks looked at each other in concern, and the Pilaf Gang are in a great panic.

Goten/Trunks: (concerned) A black hole? (they looked at each other, panicked)

Shu: (panicked) EEEK! The world is doomed! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Bulma: Not if I can help it! Shenron, I wish to banish That Zool-whatever-he's-called from this world!

Shenron heard Bulma's wish, but is unable to grant it.

Shenron: APOLOGIES, BUT THAT WISH CANNOT BE GRANTED. THE ONE CALLED ZULFER POSSESSES UNFAMINABLE POWER THAT FAR EXCEEDS MY OWN.

Bulma: (concerned) Oh...

Trunks: So now what!?

Pilaf: WELL, CAN YOU AT LEAST STOP THAT BLACK HOLE THINGY FROM DESTROYING EVERYTHING!?

Shenron: I AM AFRAID THAT IS BEYOND MY POWER AS WELL.

Mai: Oh no...! You've got to try something else, sire!

Pilaf: That's it... I'm... fresh out of ideas...

Shu: But there has to be something we can do!

Pilaf: WELL, WHAT CAN WE DO, GENIUS!? We may as well brace for the end...

Mai: (sighed) Sire, it's been an honor serving you.

Shu: Yeah, me too... (he begins to cry)

Chiaotzu: I guess hope is all lost...

Bulma, Chiaotzu and the boys started giving in to despair as well. But then Goten has an idea.

Goten: Wait! It's not over yet!

Trunks: Stop joking around, Goten. You heard Shenron. There's nothing we can do.

Goten: Whatever happens... I wish those Girls had the power to beat that guy.

Shenron heard Goten's wish and accepts it, much to everyone's surprise.

Shenron: VERY WELL.

Chiaotzu: (surprised) Huh?

Trunks: (surprised) Wha?

Bulma: (surprised) Goten...?

Goten: (he turned to Bulma) If the Girls had all of that power, that Zulfer guy won't stand a chance!

Shenron: THAT I CAN DO AND IT SHALL BE DONE. (he flashes his eyes)

Seeing Shenron granted Goten's wish puts hope back in everyone's hearts.

Shenron: I SHALL GO TO THEIR AID AT ONCE!

Shenron vanishes in a burst of light and flies off to the Girls' location.

Trunks: (he cheered up with newfound hope) Nice one, Goten!

Chiaotzu: (giggled)

Goten: (he turns back to Trunks) You... really think so, Trunks?

Trunks: Yeah! We just might have a shot at this after all!

Pilaf: (he cries with hope) Who would have thought my dreams of world domination would rest on the shoulders on a bunch of little girls…?

Shu: You said it, sire. If anybody can save us now, it's them!

Mai: (he calls out to where Shenron flies off) HEY, GIRLS! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME! GO KICK THAT ZULFER'S UGLY BUTT! MAKE HIM PAY!

Trunks: (chuckled) Wow, Mai sure knows how to get excited!

Bulma: (giggled) You said it, Trunks.

Goten looks out to where Shenron flew off with a hopeful smile on his face.

Meanwhile back at Yunzabit, everyone is preparing for the end until they caught sight of Shenron flying overhead.

Android 18: Hey, everyone, look up there!

Piccolo: (surprised) Is... that what I think it is!?

Tien: No way…!

Gohan: It's Shenron!

Shenron: (roared) GROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR!

Kamikaze Fireballs: (amazed) WHOA!

Vegeta: What's he doing here!?

Goku: (chuckles weakly) Looks like... Bulma and the boys came through after all…

Vegeta: (he turned to Goku) What's that supposed to mean, Kakarot!?

Goku: (weakly) Call it a last resort…

Everyone watches as Shenron flies straight down into the hole where Zulfer launched his Nightmare Vortex. As he descends deeper and deeper into the earth, he manages to catch up with the vortex.

Shenron: (roared) GROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!

Shenron enters it and it stopped in mid descent as it slowly goes up in a burst of iridescent light.

Tien: Can you feel that? The earthquakes... They've stopped.

Gohan: And the ground's stopped sinking!

Piccolo: What's going on down there?

Krillin: (worriedly) Are the Girls gonna be... okay…?

Goku: Don't... worry, Krillin. (groaned) I've got a feeling... they'll be just fine.

Everyone looks down the chasm as the light at the bottom grows brighter and brighter, indicating that an extraordinary new power is about to be born.

TO BE CONTINUED…
