Chapter3 – Black Goku vs. Blue Skull
The corrupted god had wandered away from the guild into a quiet spot in a small forest; he glanced at his time ring, noticing the small crack on it. "The ring must've been damage in my fight against the Saiyans. Can I still use it to escape this dimension?" he thought. He pointed the ring upward and closed his eyes to focus. The ring started glowing before a white beam shot out of it and struck the heavens; a small gold vortex appeared in the sky, but then dark red electricity formed around it. The same phenomenon was happening around the time ring. Black gritted his teeth as he could feel the strain from the ring's usage. Eventually, he recoiled his hand and the light from the ring faded; he glanced at the small portal in the sky before it vanished completely. Black scoffed "It appears that trying to use the ring to cross dimension is impossible while it's in this state." He muttered "What about traveling to the future?" He tapped the ring and shouted "Three Minutes!" A force field appeared around him and a swirl of colors consumed him.
He appeared in the same exact spot only three minutes later. "So, I can still travel to the future but of this dimension," Black then glanced at his ring again as he recalled the words of his former mentor.
"It is possible to affect the flow of time in a way that creates a parallel stream, and judging by the bands in that box this has happened in recent years. What sort of fools would attempt such madness?!"
Black Goku's face turn into a serious glare "I can think of one fool," he muttered while clenching his fist. "That Saiyan Trunks has committed another sin, stopping me from completing my project and banishing me to this bizarre reality. Only a god could predict the kind of chaos in time was created from my failure and now in dimensions as well. But if that primitive time wanderer thinks he's truly defeated me, he's in for a surprise!" Black suddenly smirked. "Yes, my strength will return in time, and then I will go back and finish what I started! All the Saiyan did was introduce my justice to another world, and I will carry it out!" Black then began reminiscing on his fight with Natsu. "So that was the power of the Fire Dragon Slayer, Natsu Dragneel, the Salamander. Our fight was truly instructive." Black glanced at his hand before throwing a punch, releasing a strong force of wind that cut down a tree. "This body is truly a blessing of the gods; the more it's damaged in battle the more power it gains!"
The false Saiyan closed his eyes as images of his fight with Natsu appeared in his head; as the images from the fight continued to play in his head, Black began to assume "his" fighting stance. Shades of Goku appeared over him and then he reared his arms back with his hands closed into fists and performed a few more wind punches. Not too far away, Mirajane was watching Black test out is newfound strength with awe while secretly behind some bushes. "Oh wow! So that's what he meant when he said pain makes him stronger." She thought as she was surprised at how much stronger Black got after just one beat down with the Salamander. One of Black's attacks flew past her, making her squeal from the force of it. The Supreme Kai heard her outburst and became alert.
"Who's there?!" Black demanded before raising his hand to her location. "Show yourself mortal or I'll blast you out!"
"Wait, it's just me Black!" Mira called as she revealed herself.
"Oh, it's you. What do you want woman?" Black inquired as he put his hand down.
"I just came to see if you were ok," Mira said.
"Well as you can see, I am fine." Black replied. "Now leave me be."
"You seem a bit anti-social," Mira stated.
"I am a divine being who sole mission is to restore order. I've been defeated before I could complete my mission, I am exiled from my home, and the only partner I ever trusted is gone. So you can see why I'm kind of alone." Black said.
Mira gave him a look of sympathy. "I'm sorry all that happened to you,"
"I don't need you pity mortal, after all, it was your kind that did this to me." Black scoffed.
"So I guess you don't trust 'mortals,'" Mira said.
"I despise them. I loathe them." Black answered.
"What about demons?" Mira asked nervously.
"Demons are the opposite of gods. They're just as despicable as mortals. That's why I enjoyed sending them all to Hell and then wiping them out from there." Black answered. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason!" Mira quickly dismissed and asked. "Ok, how about fairies? They're not mortals or demons."
"I've never really met a fairy, or I can't recall meeting one. I have no opinion of one since I don't know what they're like." Black said.
"Well, you could use us as an example; we are the Fairy Tail guild after all." Mira offered. Black raised an eyebrow at her before chuckling. "What's so funny?"
"If you people are what Fairies are like, then my opinion is at its lowest." Black answered. "You're all mindless barbarians who send your days beating each other in petty squabbles."
"Hey, we're not that bad. I know we seem like we just want to tear each other apart but we do care for one another. Our bonds are forged through our interactions, roughhousing included." Mira said. "If you took the time to really get to know us, you'll see that we're a great guild."
"I don't even consider you all as fairies. You're just children dreaming hopeless impossibilities." Black said.
"Our dreams are another thing that put us together. We all grow stronger together. Even if we're not actual fairies our guild represents the hope that those creatures truly exist. We all believe that we'll find one someday and that it's the amazing adventure that will be worthwhile as long as we have each other." Mira explained.
Black raised an eyebrow at her before turning away. "Whatever, have your silly dreams. What do I care? Now leave me alone woman."
"Wait." Mira said as she showed the basket of food she brought. "I thought you might be a bit hungry from the fight." Right on cue, Goku Black's stomach began to growl. "I guess I was right."
"Curse this body and its pitiful needs!" Black thought. Eyeing her basket of food and feeling his hunger growing, the Supreme Kai looked to the model who had moved to a nearby bench and sat down before offering him a seat beside her; Black frowned but reluctantly accepted her offer. Mira handed the basket of food to the false Saiyan who looked at it and said "I suppose the needs of the body must be met," before taking it and opening it. He picked up a sandwich and examined it before taking a bite to appease his stomach; as soon as Black bite into the sandwich, he eyes had widened like dish plates. "I have always seen Gowasu eat food and even tried some myself but I never tasted such…exquisiteness." H e thought before resuming to eat. Mirajane noticed the Kai's expression and giggled which got his attention. "What do you find amusing mortal?" he inquired.
"You eat as though you've never had food in your life. It's funny," Mira replied.
"Don't be ridiculous, I've eaten your mortal food before." Black said.
Mira then gave him an I'm not buying it look. "Then you must really like it, I made it myself." She said.
Black looked at the mage with a speechless expression, he couldn't believe this one woman could make an ordinary sandwich taste so…divine. "Bah! It's just the pleasure from this body that's poisoning my mind. Mortal food is nothing more than a means to counter hunger and replenish energy, especially for a measly Saiyan. But still…" He thought as he finished the food in the basket.
Mira just smiled at the Kai before with a question in mind; though she wasn't sure how to ask it she just decided to be direct about it. "Hey Black, what was your past like?"
Black looked at her questionably; he had no desire to spill his guts to s mortal female so he was vague in answering. "I was warrior prodigy, the best among the Supreme Kai apprentices. I was being groomed to take my master's place. I never really cared for mortals back then, but then, one came and challenged me to battle. It took everything I had to stand a chance against his power while he was holding back. In the end, I was defeated, the first disgrace I ever felt in my existence. I learned that day how dangerous mortals could be if left uncheck, and that's when I began my mission. But I was opposed and soon rejected from my world into this one."
"How?" Mira asked.
"The warrior who led the opposers managed to awaken some incredible power and before I knew it was separated from my only ally and thrown into this dimension of magic." Black answered before clenching his fist. "But I will find a way back no matter the cost, and then I will have my revenge against those mortals who stood against me. The vile creatures will suffer for their crimes!"
Mira was a little scared by Black's anger but still tried to comfort him. "I'm sorry that happened to you, but maybe if you tried to get to know mortals more, you'll see that they're not so bad as you think." She suggested.
"Get to know? What more is there to know?" Black questioned. "You humans use the knowledge of the gods for petty things like war, conflict, suffering, and violence. The cycle repeats itself and yet you never learn."
"That's not true. Some humans do learn from their mistakes and they become better after it." Mira said.
"You say that and yet I've seen countless mortals go through the same cycle or "mistakes" and yet they go right back and do it over again." Black disagreed. "Mortals will never change."
Mirajane looked at the fake Saiyan skeptically. Before saying "Not everything we humans do is violent, we also know caring, love, and friendship after all that's what fairy tail was built on. I bet if you stuck around with us, we can show that there's more to mortals than just the bad you see in us." She said while putting her hand on his shoulder.
"My opinion of mortals will never change." Black assured.
"Well, are you at least coming back to the guild with me?" Mira asked.
"And why would I go back to that chaotic children's cottage?" Black inquired.
"Well, I imagine you don't have a place to stay, so you can stay there for a while," Mira offered. "Plus, I'd be happy to make you more food if you'd like."
"Sorry, the offer is tempting but I decline." Black said as he got up and turned to leave. "My only focus is to get stronger so that I can go back to my world and finish what I started."
"Then you should stick with us because you won't find stronger mages anywhere else." Mira said. "Natsu is strong but there are other mages stronger than him. Gray's equal to Natsu, then there's an S-Class mage stronger than both of them, then there are two stronger than her, then there's our strongest mage who no one in our guild can beat. They can help you get your strength back if you stay with us,"
Goku Black looked back at the She Devil, his interest peeked; he still didn't trust her or any of her guildmates, but he did acknowledge that Natsu was a good challenge. If there were fairies stronger than him, then they would be perfectly suited for getting him back to full strength. "Very well, I suppose I will accompany you back to your guild. But don't get the wrong idea, I have no interest in joining or getting to know you mortals, I simply will not degrade myself to wandering around this absurd world. Plus I'd like to see these strong wizards you mentioned and test their strength."
Mira just smiled smugly before getting up and starting to walk back to the guild "You coming?" she called to the Kai.
Black growled before beginning to follow her. "Don't think you've convinced me to give mortals a chance, once I'm at full power, I'll wipe out all of you like I did in my world!" he swore to himself.
Mira smiled at him again as she thought "Don't worry Black, I'll help you see that not all humans are bad, you can count on that."
After getting back to the guildhall, Mirajane went back to her daily duties while Black was sitting alone meditating; the guild wizards were either chatting among themselves or picking out job requests. Black was channeling his energy as some watched; eventually, he grew impatient and got up. "I have to do something; I can't just sit and wait for my strength to return." He thought. He wandered over to the job request board where team Shadow Gear was checking out some request. "What are these supposed to be?" he wondered out loud after examining the board.
The blue petite girl wearing an orange dress had heard his question and decided to answer "These are job requests,"
"Job requests?" Black inquired. "Care to explain blue haired maiden."
"Sure, people send in requests to the guilds if there's a job is too big for them to handle." Levy clarified. "The board has many requests on it and each request has an assignment along with a reward of how much the job is worth. Guilds send wizards or teams of wizards to meet with the client who sent the request and negotiate before getting the task done. Some jobs are harder than others, which is why they require wizard teams to complete."
"I see," Black replied.
"By the way, I'm Levy and these are my teammates Jet and Droy. Together we're Team Shadow Gear." Levy introduced her team to the Kai.
"Nice to meet you!" the boys greeted.
Black just nodded to them before going back to the board. "It seems the mortals of this world are too reliant on others and can't do their own work for themselves." He thought. "However, it appears that these jobs would a good way to better improve this body with training. I might actually find stronger mages to fight." He spotted a specific request that got his attention and pulled it from the board. "I think I'll start with this one."
Levy examined the request and was a little surprised. "But that's an A class job." She said.
"So, what does that mean to me?" Black asked.
"This job requires you to bring a partner wizard along. It might be too hard for even someone like you to complete." Levy explained. "We'd be happy to go with you and show you the ropes."
Black just laughed at her. "I need no mortal's help to complete a simple task. I work alone." He stated
"Well, if you're going to do that job, then you should take it to Mira so she can approve it." Levy said.
"Very well," Black said before leaving with the request. The Supreme Kai went over to the bar stand where the white haired mage was serving drinks; when she noticed Black holding a job request, she walked over to him and received the job request from his hand. She was surprised by the job he took, which Black did not fail to notice. "Is there a problem White haired maiden?" he asked her.
Mira then looked back at the job and then explained to him. "This is quite the request you've chosen. The job asks you to liberate a town under the control of the dark guild Blue Skull."
Hearing those words made Black a little excited. "Really, sounds interesting," he replied.
"Are you sure you can handle this alone? You should probably take someone with you as back up," Mira suggested.
"I need no assistance, I will handle this job by myself!" Black said.
"Well, ok." Mira complied before stamping the job for approval. "Here you go, good luck Black."
"I don't require luck, all I need is power and the one I possess is more than enough for the task at hand." Black replied before leaving the guildhall with his job request. As he walked towards the train station he thought to himself, "Fighting an entire guild huh? Finally some mortals who'll receive my divine justice and it will give me a chance to strengthen this body. This will be fun." The Supreme Kai eventually made it to the station and got aboard the train; as he rode the vehicle towards the destination, he looked over the location of the job. "The mortal who requested for help hails from a town called Berk; never heard of this town before, not that it matters." He muttered to himself. The false Saiyan began to image training, fighting against mental images of his past foes to strengthen his body; however, the images began fading from his mind and were replaced by his short time with the Fairy Tail guild, especially his time with Mirajane. "Why am I seeing these images?" he thought before forcing those images to the back of his head and decided to take a nap.
Moments later, Black awoke to "Attention passengers, we've arrived at Berk station! Thank you for riding with us!" He quickly got off the train and proceeded to walk towards his destination. As the false Saiyan went on his way, he felt multiple life forces nearby; pretty soon, he was surrounded by five members of the Skull Reaper guild. "What do you mortals want? I'm very busy and not in the mood to deal with you, so state your business before I lose patience." Black warned.
"Hey, buddy you're entering our turf, so you need to pay the toil!" One of the members said. Black merely glanced around at the mages before chuckling to himself. "Hey, what's so funny?"
"You mortals never cease to amaze me about how stupid you can be," Black replied.
"What's that suppose to mean? You're not in a position to be laughing pal! You're outnumbered!" said another mage.
"You think your quantity means anything to the quality of a god?" Black asked as he began to flare up his Ki. The five guild wizards started cowering in fear from the pressure of Black's power; the Supreme Kai gave an evil grin as he raised his hand and channeled his Ki blade. In a flash, Black dashed around and struck all five of the mages before stopping four them suddenly looked down and saw gashes in their chests before coughing up blood and falling dead on the floor; the fifth one just saw a cut on his chest as he stared his comrades' corpses before looking back at Black in fear. "Ah, it's always so nice to see a mortal's face twist in fear before killing them," Black said.
"H-How did you…? The mage asked. Black didn't answer him as he slowly walked towards him, stepping over the spilled blood of the dead wizards. The last member grew more fearful as Black got closer before eventually turning away and fleeing for his life.
Black raised his hand and prepared to fire an energy blast at the coward when he heard someone say "That was amazing!" He looked up and saw a girl who looked like she was at least 19 sitting on a tree branch; she wore a white top with dark gold highlights on the outside of the top which he also noticed was holding in her bust. Her attire showed her mid-rib and she wore short white shorts. Her hair was blonde and she wore red piercings on both her ears; Black also noticed that she had blue eyes just like Mirajane. The Kai just ignored her before going back to killing his target, only to scoff and cancel his energy blast when he saw the mage had disappeared.
"How could I have let myself get distracted so easily?" Black thought.
Man, you were incredible just now!" the girl said as she hopped down from the tree and approached the Kai. "But did you really have to murder these guys and let one of them escape?" she asked while staring down at the corpses in disgust.
"I was about finish that last one before you distracted me girl," Black pointed out sternly.
"Oh, sorry about that." The girl apologized before introducing herself. "I'm Emily, what's your name?"
"Black," the false Saiyan replied.
The girl named Emily then noticed the paper in his hand "What's that?" she asked.
Black held up the request to show her "A job request,"
"Oh, you're looking for Berk huh?" she assumed. "Well, I live there. I can take you there, to make up for earlier." Emily started going before gesturing the Kai to follow her; Black didn't since any deceit from her, though he wasn't worried if she was lying and decided to follow her. She eventually led him to a small village; as they entered they were greeted by many townsfolk before a few of them stopped them.
"Emily what're you doing? You know you're not supposed to leave the village, it's dangerous!" one villager said before noticing Black. "And who's this?"
"He's here about the job," Emily replied.
"Then he needs to see the Mayor about it. This way stranger," Black Goku was led to the Mayor's office where he was approached by a short man wearing a red suit and had blue hair being accompanied by a taller man with glasses and wearing a black and white suit.
"Welcome stranger, I'm the Mayor of Berk and this is my butler." The short man introduced. "We can discuss the job further inside my office, please follow me." As black and the mayor stepped into the office, the butler offered black a cup of tea which he accepted and began to drink; the two then sat down and the Mayor began speaking. "Now as I'm sure you're aware our town wasn't always under the control a dark guild." Black didn't reply as he just sipped his tea and listened on. "Well, Blue Skull has been terrorizing our town for some time and we'd greatly appreciate it if you could take care of them for us."
Black took another sip of his tea and replied "Very well, I will deal with this Blue Skull, by tomorrow they won't be a problem to you anymore."
"Thank you young man. We'll agree to compensate you anyway we can," the Mayor said.
"No need, I require a place of refuge," Black said as he stood up. He then felt something press into his back and a pair of arms wrapped around his waist; he turned and saw Emily, having forgotten she was with him. "What do you want girl?" he asked.
"Isn't it obvious? I want you to stay at my house tonight, we've got plenty of room" Emily replied. Her face was turned away so Black couldn't see her blushing.
"I think that's a good idea," the Mayor said.
Black though for a moment and said "I suppose, at least this way I won't have to sleep outside." He then separated from the girl and stepped outside, motioning her to lead the way. Emily then grabbed his hand and sprinted home; Black couldn't figure it out, but something about this didn't seem right. "How can I allow a mortal to casually get this close to me? To even touch me? Why won't I just obliterate her on the spot, this is such an insolent act to a god!" he thought but did nothing.
The two eventually arrived at Emily's house and walked through the front door. "MOM, I'm home!" she called, making Black cringe a bit. "Emily!" something said back before Emily got tackled by a small cat the same size as happy except with a scar over his left eye, and his fur was bright green with a black spot on his belly. "NEB!" Emily squealed as she then lifted the cat up and hugged him into her chest tightly. "How's mommy's favorite kitty cat?" The cat pureed in response Black then saw two other figures coming over to greet them. The first one was female with long brown hair and wore a short red top with a red skirt to match and a pair of boots he also noticed her chest size was a bit bigger than Emily's but not too big; he could surmise that she was Emily and the other girl's mother. He then looked to the left and saw another girl who was a bit shorter than Emily but she had silver hair and brown eyes. She wore a black and blue skirt and boots to go with and she was shy but black felt a brimming power from her. He also noticed that both girls took after their mother as their chests and asses did fill in nicely.
Emily then went over to introduce her family. "This girl is my sister Gwen, I'm 19 and she's 17." She said while gesturing to the silver haired girl before moving onto the brunette women. "And this lady here is my mom."
Emily's mother stepped towards Black to greet him. "Welcome, my name's Kayla. Thank you for coming to our village to free it from Skull Reaper," she said and gave a small bow to which Black just nodded to.
The younger girl then came up to Black. "H-Hi, My name is Gwen, Emily's younger sister. It's nice to meet you," she said shyly.
The Kai then noticed Emily's cat sprouting wings like Happy and fly up to meet him face to face. "And I'm Neb, Emily's partner in crime!" the cat stated.
"Do all felines fly like birds in this universe?" Black asked.
"Only the special and awesome ones!" Neb replied.
Emily then came up to her mother and put her hand together beggingly. "Can he stay with us until he has to take down Skull Reaper? Pllllllllllease!"
Kayla looked at Black before smiling at her daughter "Sure dear, he seems okay." She said.
"YES!" Emily cheered.
"I may regret staying with these mortals," Black thought.
The five of them were soon sitting at a table enjoying a meal and engaging in a conversation. "So Black, what guild are you a part of," Kayla asked.
"I am not a part of any guild, but as of right now I am currently acquainted with the one called Fairy Tail," Black replied.
Emily and Gwen's eyes grew wide at his reply. "You're with the Fairy Tail guild?!" they asked. "That's so cool! Are all those wizards as amazing as the rumors say? Are you really that strong?! What are they like?!"
Black just frowned and Kayla signaled her girls to settle down. "So how long do you plan on staying?" she asked.
"Til I've vanquished the guild known as Skull Reaper, which will be tomorrow," Black answered. "Then I must continue my journey,"
U-Um, I-uh," Gwen tried to speak.
"Speak girl, what is it?" Black told her.
"I-I just wanted to ask what magic you use?" Gwen said.
"I don't use magic, that is a skill for mortals. I possess the powers meant for a god!" Black replied.
Everyone seemed confused for a bit before Emily said "Oh, you're a God Slayer! That's so cool!" Black just turned away, not denying her claim. "You know, me and my sister can use magic; we'd really like to join a wizard's guild someday. Do you think you can take us to Fairy Tail when you're leaving or maybe put in a good word for us?"
"Absolutely NOT!" Kayla yelled. "I thought we agreed that the two of wouldn't be joining any wizard guild!"
"B-But mom, we really want too," Gwen said.
"Yeah. We've been practicing our magic and we can handle ourselves." Emily argued. "You can't keep us here forever. Let us go."
Kayla slammed her hands on the table. "No, you and your sister's magic still untapped is too unstable. Do you want a repeat of what happened last time?!" the mother asked.
"But mom…" Emily tired to argue again.
"My decision is final, you're not ready and you never will be!" Kayla replied bitterly.
Emily then burst into tears and hurried to her room and slammed the door; Gwen and Neb went after to comfort her. Black just finished eating before asking "Kayla was it, where are your washrooms? I would like to freshen up before I go cleanse the guild tomorrow." The depressed mother handed Black a towel, soap, and pointed him in the direction of the bathroom; Black stepped inside and stripped out of his Gi along with removing his time ring and Potaro. He folded the Gi and put it aside and stepped into the tub. "These mortals and their dramas are giving me a headache, curse that Trunks for all I have to endure!" Black thought. "I'll need a stress reliever and what better than slaughtering an entire guild of worthless mortals?" The Kai was so lost in thought as he washed up he didn't notice the door open and someone stepping into the tub with him til they were right beside him; he looked to his side and saw Gwen next to him naked. At first he was surprised by her actions as she first came out as shy but he then disregarded it not caring either way.
"I-I'm sorry about this. It's just that I really need a bath and this was the only one available." Gwen said.
Black just ignored and continued to wash himself; since he didn't protest Gwen assumed he didn't mind and started washing herself. Although Black didn't care about Gwen present with him, he couldn't stop himself from taking a few glances at her body. "This is the first time I've a female mortal's body like this," He thought. "Are they always this…appealing to the eye? Wait! Why do I even care?! I'm a god! I can't be tempted like this!"
Gwen suddenly held the soup out to the Kai but still didn't make eye contact. "Would you wash my back please?" she asked.
Black raised an eyebrow at this strange request but decided to do so to prove that it meant nothing to him. "Very well, turn around." He replied. Gwen did as told and Black began to wash her back.
"I hope you weren't frightened by what happened at dinner," Gwen started to say; Black gave no answer so she went on. "That doesn't always happen, it's just that mom's afraid to let us join a guild."
"Why, isn't that the norm for you mortal wizards?" a puzzled Black asked though didn't really care.
"Yeah, but a while back some guys were beating up on Emily then she snapped and for a brief moment awakened her magic," Gwen explained. "Unfortunately, her outburst of magic power was so great that our mayor and town council banned her and me from using magic again and mom forbade us from joining any of our magic guilds."
Black scoffed "Typical mortals. They fear power and yet they contradict those who crave it when the opportunity presents itself to them." He thought.
After black was done washing Gwen's back, she turned to him with a small smile. "Okay now you turn around." She said.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because now I have to wash your back, duh." Gwen replied. The Supreme Kai rolled his eyes but turned, allowing Gwen to scrub his back; she blushed as she felt how muscular he was. "You don't like mortals at all, do you?" she asked out of nowhere.
"How did you…" he asked.
"One of my special skills is sensing a person's magical aura and their emotions; so when I sensed yours it was immense evil." Gwen explained. "Also, you referred to yourself as a god earlier; it sounded like you felt above us and viewed mortals very low,"
"It's just like a mortal to say that I'm evil, because they don't understand a god or my ambitions," Black said. "Do you think I care how you view me girl?"
To his surprise, Gwen moved from behind him to his front and stepped so close to him that their bodies were touching "I'm sure you don't. But I'm bothered by the fact that you feel evil; actually it's the opposite, it turns me and Emily on." She whispered to his ear, getting Black to look at her questionably. She then stepped away from him and got out of the tub. "However, there are two things I know about you that you might care about," she said as she wrapped a towel around herself.
"Oh, what might those two things be?" Black inquired.
"One even though you have a sinister aura, there's still a tiny glimmer of light in you, and it's going to shine eventually." She said with a smart smile. "And second, I know is that you've already got a woman in your life you but don't know yet. I just hope you can make room for me and Emily," she winked at Back then left the bathroom to go to bed.
Black finished bathing and dried off before changing into the spare pair of pajamas that Kayla left for him on the bed in the guest room; before he slept he began image training, coming up with numerous ways to kill every single member of Skull Reaper while also improving his body's abilities further. A wicked grin appeared on his face as he thought "The only light inside me is the light of divine justice that I will unleash on this world, and no one will be spared." He then got in bed and got his much needed rest for his guild take down tomorrow.
The next day, the morning sun shone through the window but the Supreme Kai didn't get up to it. He failed to notice as Ned had snuck into his room carrying a trumpet; the cat tip toed to Black's bedside pointed the trumpet next to his ear and blew the loudest note Black would ever hear. The sudden noise caused the Kai to fall out of bed and immediately take a stance, believing he was being attacked; he was surprised to see a small laughing cat rather than an enemy. "Ha, Ha, Ha! You should see your face, priceless!" Neb laughed at Black's reaction, only to stop when he felt a dark shadow behind him. He looked back to see Black looming over him with an aura of pure malice, making him gulp in fear.
"Listen furball, I'll give you a 5 second head start before I castrate you on a tree!" Black warned. "Only then will you know the wrath of a god!"
"Help! Help! Emily!" Neb cried as he used his wings to bolt out the door.
The Kai merely scoffed as he changed into his clothes, took care of his hygiene and went into the kitchen where he was greeted by Kayla, Emily and Gwen along with Neb who was hiding behind his partner's leg, cowering in complete fear. "Good morning Black," Kayla greeted him.
"Not for those in the Blue Skull guild, it will be their last morning," Black said. "Those mortals will wish they'd never been born when I'm done with them and then, you're next cat!" he said to Neb.
"Emily, Black's trying to kill me!" Neb cried.
"Black, don't been to Neb. Besides, you wouldn't hurt a cute little kitty would you?" Emily asked.
"No, that's it'll be quick and painless," Black smirked making Neb turn white. Black stopped and grabbed a piece of toast before heading out the door.
"Good luck Black, I'd wish you success on your mission," Kayla said.
"The only thing you should be wishing is that I go easy on them and that there'll be survivors." Black said before leaving, little did he know he would be followed by a certain trio. Black continued to walk through the forest as he could sense the numerous Ki signals believing they belonged to the members of the dark guild; as he trekked on, he sensed three life forces nearby. He then fired a few energy blasts at the bushes and the pursuers jumped out. Black was surprised to see Emily, Gwen and Neb were his stalkers but didn't really show it.
"Hey, what was that about?" Emily asked.
"You three attempted to sneak up on a god, a mistake that proves fatal," Black replied before asking. "Now why are the three of you here?"
Emily came up and looked the Kai in the face "Isn't it obvious we want to help you." She said.
Black's eyes grew wide before he started chuckling "You? Help me? Very amusing. As if I require the assistance of a mortal." He scoffed at their misplaced determination.
"Hey, we're pretty tough you know," Emily argued.
"Y-Yeah, plus Blue Skull has been a dangerous guild for a long time." Gwen stated.
"Maybe for mortal wizards, but they never had to face a god before today," Black.
"Well, we still wanna see the guild be taken down," Neb said.
"Yeah, so let us stick with you pleeeease!" Emily begged.
Black just rolled his eyes as he knew that convincing them to go back would be pointless because like all mortals, especially those like Trunks, were stupidly stubborn; he began walking off and signaled the three to follow him. Gwen was surprised by this, "You sure you want us to come with you?" she asked.
Black glared at her "Don't make me repeat myself! If you mortals are coming then let's go! I don't have all day and neither does Blue Skull!" he stated.
"Yes sir!" the three complied as they went after the Supreme Kai. After walking a couple more miles through the rough forest they had arrived at Blue Skull guild hall.
"I'm telling you master, this one guy murdered all of them; I barely managed to escape!" the survivor from the group that tried to mug Black said to a man wearing a blue mask.
"Just one guy?!" the master asked.
"Yeah! I didn't even see him move and I couldn't tell what magic he used." The survivor said. Suddenly, the doors to the hall burst open, revealing a wickedly grinning Saiyan, two mages and a flying cat; the survivor's eye grew wide and fearful as he recognized Goku Black. "T-That's him boss! That's the guy!"
"This is the guy?" the master asked.
Black spotted the Skull member from yesterday and his smirk grew even more twisted. "I believe the phrase used by mortals is 'the one that got away,' but don't worry, I'll be sure to finish the job." He said before pointing at the Blue Skull Master. "Hear me mortals! Today you will face your deaths at the hands of a god who seeks to exert divine justice!"
"You tell em Black!" Emily said.
"You guys are in for it big time!" Neb said.
"So, who wants to die first?" Black asked. He was suddenly hit in the chest with a magic blast that sent him flying backwards.
"Black!" the trio cried.
The false Saiyan looked up to see a burly man with a big gut aiming his hand at him, where the blast came from. "Alright!" the dark guild cheered. "Dusker and his team are back!"
The big man glared at Goku Black. "You dare murder my comrades, storm our guild hall and claim to bring about justice?!" said an infuriated Dusker. "You're no god, you're just one man! I will see to it that you are immediately crushed!"
Black got up and looked at the man who struck him. "And who might you be?" he asked.
"I am from the brave and beautiful guild and leader of the Skull Reapers, Dusker!" Dusker introduced himself. (A/N: imagine Dusknoir but more or less built like Toppo with the whole sense of justice.) He was then joined by two other mages.
"I'm the super speed warrior, Discus!" said the mage on the right. (A/N: Dyspo but a human and skilled in hand to hand combat and faster than Jet.)
"And I am the battle trained executioner Casket!" said the final man on the left that was wearing a beret and a metal eye.
"AND TOGETHER WE ARE…THE SKULL REAPERS!" they said in unison while doing poses. Their guildmates clapped for them while Emily, Gwen and Neb just look dumbfounded at the whole thing.
Black cracked his neck before taking his stance. "So you fools want to challenge a god? I will show you that you are nothing to a being of divine power!" he declared.
"If you're a god then why do you radiate pure evil?!" Dusker asked. "I can see it in your eyes, you only do want you want and kill all those who stand in your way! Who do you think you're fooling with this saving the town act and justice façade?! You're just lying to yourself; you're no different than the rest of us!"
Black just laughed at his claim "So I'm pure evil? I wouldn't expect a mortal to understand why I do things. But to say we're the same, that is an insult I won't take likely!" he replied. "I'll show you the difference right now!" The Kai then charged at the lead Skull Reaper and threw a punch at him; Dusker dodged his attack and grabbed his arm before slamming him on the ground. Dusker then stomped on Black's shoulder, dislocating his arm and making him cry out in pain.
"Black!" the girls screamed as the Kai kicked himself away from the Skull Reaper.
"Is this the godly power you wished to show us?" Dusker asked. "Pitiful!"
Black smirked at the Skull Reaper before snapping his arm back in place; he retook his stance as he emitted a dark aura. "You haven't seen anything yet mortal!" he said before rushing at the dark mage again. He instantly appeared in his face and before he could react, Black kicked Dusker in the chin, sending him rolling across the guild floor. Black then jumped onto Dusker's chest hard, making him cough up blood. Before he could do it again, he saw some light to his left and looked over to see Discus with two magic circles in his hands. "Skull Crusher!" he shouted while firing a magic attack at Black's head.
Black barely dodged the blast before he turned around and saw Casket aiming a bigger magical sphere at his back. "Skull Bomber!" The right side of Black's Gi was incinerated by the blast but he was unharmed. He was about to attack when he sensed another attack coming. "Skull Flash!" Black evaded the attack from Dusker but then sensed Casket coming at him. "Skull Saber!" Casket came down at the Kai with a magic energy blade; Black quickly blocked it with his own Ki blade and engaged Casket in a sword duel. The two slashed at each other until Black punched the Skull Reaper in the jaw. Black was then hit in the back by Dusker who passed him to Discus who passed him to Casket; the three continuously pummeled the Supreme Kai much to the girls' horror.
"Time to end this," Casket said as they paused their attack on Black who spat out blood. The executioner raised his hands at the Kai and exclaimed. "Hell's grip!" a pair of skeleton hands made of dark magic appeared and grabbed the false Saiyan.
"Great job Casket! Now finish him! I want to hear his bones cracking while he screams in agony!" Dusker ordered.
"Yes sir!" Casket obeyed as he used the dark hands to squeeze Black; the former Zamasu yelled as the hands' grip became tighter around his body. The sister watched in fright as their fists were shaking. Casket eventually stopped when it looked like Black had passed out from the pain. "Death Scythe!" Dusker said a scythe of dark magic appeared in his hands; he held it over Black's head as he prepared to deliver the final blow that would end the Kai's life.
Emily and Gwen were suddenly immense magic energy as they looked very pissed. "You won't hurt our FRIEND!" they cried as their magic power exploded. Emily was surrounded by a light blueish aura as was Gwen who had changed her clothes, equipment and grew a pair of angel wings.
Dusker just scoffed at this. "More fools wanting to die? Very well!" He signaled Discus to attack them.
The speed warrior charged at the older sister; she simply side stepped his attack while her fist lit up. "Galactic Dragon Nova Fist!" she exclaimed as she sucker punched Discus in the face, sending him reeling backwards. He looked surprised while Emily just glared at him. Discus got back up and charged at Emily again, zooming around the whole room to try and hit her. Emily jumped up while channeling magic energy through her arms. "Galactic Dragon Wing Attack!" Her attack sent the speed reaper flying backwards again. Even though he was a bit dazed, Discus still got back on his feet.
"You'll have to do better than that!" Discus said. He was joined by his leader and the two put both of their hands forward as their magic circles began glowing and joined into one. "Double Death Cannon!" they exclaimed as they fired a massive blast of dark energy; Emily countered by taking a deep breath as her cheeks started to swell. "Galactic Dragon Roar!" she let out a blue blazing breath attack that collided with the Reapers' attack; the two blasts pushed against each other until Emily's got the upperhand and overpowered the Reapers, consuming them in a big explosion.
Casket was so distracted by his comrades being beaten, he was unaware of Black lifting up his head; the Kai then powered up, completely destroying the spell restraining him before moving over to Emily's said. "I didn't realize you were a Dragon Slayer, girl." Black said to her.
"Yeah, I'm awesome that way," Emily replied.
Dusker and Discus had partly recovered from the explosion and were furious; their top clothing was scorched and damaged, leaving just the bottom part. "How dare you damage our custom uniforms!" Dusker said as he shook with rage. "Skull Reapers assemble!" the Skull Reaper came together again. "Together now!" he ordered. "Triple Skull Cannon!" The three combined their magic energies and shot one giant blast at Black and Emily. The Kai raised his hand to deflect the attack but was surprised when Gwen suddenly appeared in front of them defensively; a magic circle materialized before her as she changed into some kind of revealing outfit while she extended her hand in front of the beam. "I cast thee SHIELD!" she exclaimed then a green magic circle appeared and stopped the blast before deflecting it upward. She then changed into somewhat of another revealing outfit, making her appear as an Angel of light; she materialized a bow and arrow before pointing it at the Skull Reapers.
"May the light pierce the darkness in your heart!" she said "Arrow of Purity!" Gwen fired the arrow that engulfed the three Reapers in a blinding light. The light then dissipated and the three Reapers were revealed to be knocked out just as Gwen fell unconscious into her sister's arms.
"These two seem exceptionally strong for female mortals." Black thought before he started clapping. "Not bad, that was somewhat impressive girls,"
"We'll take that as a compliment," Emily said.
"You should, because a god rarely gives one to your kind," Black said. "Just know, I did not require your assistance at all. I was in control of the battle from the start." The two then heard footsteps and clapping; they looked and saw a man in his twenties with short black hair and two piercing black eyes wearing a short vest with green stripes going down the middle along with a pair of blue cut shorts, a blue mask, and some black sneakers. "Another mortal has come to die? Very well. And who might you be mortal?" Black asked the man.
"My name is Bao and I'm the Guild Master of Blue Skull." The man introduced himself before glancing around "I must say you roughed up my boys quite a bit,"
"That what they get for being weak!" Black said.
"While I do agree with you, this act against my guild and the assault cannot stand!" Bao said.
"Dose that mean you intend to fight me now?" Black asked.
"Oh I'll do more than that; I'll introduce you to new types of pain. Then you'll be begging for mercy!" Bao declared as he started releasing a magic aura; Emily held onto her sister tightly while Neb's fur was on edge. Then a dark purple appeared above bow with a skull on it and other magical markings. "Satan Soul, King Slayer!" Bao exclaimed as his appearance began to change in a flash of purple light. When the light faded, Bao stepped out revealing a new appearance; He was clad in armor in some parts, the right side of his face was covered by a red marking and he was covered in a few scars and two devil wings sprouted from his back. He took a step towards the wizards who seem to flinch back while Black stood his ground. "Now young wizards, shall we begin?" Bao asked.
Black took his stance, sensing that the Skull master might actually be a challenge to him. "This is gonna be fun," he thought before rushing at the Master of Blue Skull. As the two clashed, Emily ran outside with her sleeping sister and her cat; she set Gwen down at the side before she heard a crashing noise and looked up. Black and Bao had burst through the guild hall's roof and had taken their fight to the skies. Black rushed at the Skull Master with a barraged of punches; Bao tried to counter by kicking Black in the head but he blocked it with his left arm before he kneed Bao in the gut making him cough up spit. Bao grasped his stomach in pain when he noticed Black aiming a yellowish black Ki blast at him. He fired and the blast hit the Skull Master, sending him reeling towards the ground. Black then shot more Ki blasts at the ground as Bao was still recovering from the last one.
In response, Bao put both of his arms up in defense and yelled "KING'S SHIELD!" A red barrier then appeared in front of Bao as the rain of blasts made impact all around him; when the dust cleared black saw that Bao was unharmed. The red barrier disappeared and the Skull Master got up as Black descended to ground level. "Quite impressive. And you such power with ferocity to match for a wizard. What guild are you apart of?" Bao inquired.
"I am not affiliated with any guild, but the request to destroy your guild I received was for Fairy Tail," Black answered.
"Fairy Tail?! You're a part of that despicable guild!" the Skull Master sneered. "That guild has been nothing but trouble for Blue Skull for decades ever since their 1st Master and the founders stole the Tenrou orb from us! For years we've wanted to get back at them for that, but their members were too strong for us! We even asked our brother guild Phantom Lord to help us but they refused! Now, this'll be the perfect way to taunt those upstarts, by killing one of their members!"
"Mortals are very hard of hearing, I already told you that I'm not a part of that children's guild! I have nothing to do with your petty grudge with them, nor do I care for it!" Black said. "However, I refuse to lose to a mortal again! So, if you think you can defeat a god, then take your best shot!"
"I've had enough of this playful banter! It's time to show you why I lead Blue Skull!" Bao declared.
"Then show me mortal, the power of a King Slayer. Use it to make me to kneel before you, hah!" Black mocked him.
Bao glared at the Kai while emitting red magic aura; Black revved up before rushing at the dark mage to strike him with his Ki blade. He sliced Bao in half, and then the halves faded away confusing the false Saiyan. He then turned around and was engulfed by a red blast from a magic circle. Black was knocked onto his back as his body was smoking. "BLACK!" Emily and Neb said with concern.
The Supreme Kai stood up and saw that the rest of his Gi had been vaporized, leaving just his a shred of his undershirt; he ripped it off, revealing his well built upper body which made Emily blush. Black then dusted himself off and cracked his neck before he rushed Bao kicking him in the gut causing him to be sent flying. Bao growled and flew up into the air. "ENOUGH! I AM BAO, LEADER OF SKULL REAPER I WILL NOT BE MOCKED BY FAIRY TAIL SCUM!" he roared before aiming his hands at the Kai and forming a magic seal. Black could sense that he was focusing all of his magic power into one final attack. "King's Final Commandment!" Out of the magic circle a giant reddish purple beam appeared and was heading right towards Black. The Saiyan imposter smirked as he crossed his arms to defend himself. "Black, what are you doing?!" Emily cried. The blast hit Goku Black dead on and exploded; when it passed the Kai was still standing in the same spot which surprised Bao, Neb, and Emily. "H-How did you?" Bao asked.
Black put his arms down and grinned wickedly at the Skull Master. "I have to admit mortal, that attack actually gave me quite a bit of pain, but it's gonna take a lot more if you wish to compete with a god!" he said.
"B-But, this can't be! You should be dead!" Bao said with fear.
"You have my thanks though," Black said as he powered up again. "Our battle has helped me increase my strength; so to repay you, I'll make your end swift!" Black then took a certain stance as he started concentrating his energy into a single point. "You fought well for a mortal but this is where it ends. Ka…Me…Ha…Me…" A black sphere of Ki appeared in between Goku Black's palms as he chanted. "HAAAAAAAAAA!" The black beam burst from the Kai's palms and was flying right at Bao.
"You will not beat me! KING'S SHIELD!" Bao yelled as he summoned the red barrier again; the blast hit the barrier and Bao struggled to block it. The King's shield started to crack as Bao's arms began to give out. "DARN IT! I CAN'T HOLD IT!" he yelled before the blast broke through his shield and consumed him. Smoke floated in the sky before something fell from it and hit the earth. Bao was lying on the ground and out of his King Slayer form. "C-Curse you," he muttered as Black slowly walked towards him.
The Kai knelt down to look Bao in the eye. "Next time, know your place, which is under a god's boot mortal!" Black said. "Well, guess there won't be a next time for you!"
"It doesn't matter if you defeat me, my guild will do what it takes to crush Fairy Tail!" Bao said. "You fairy scum will feel our wrath!"
Black grabbed Bao by the collar and lifted him up with his right hand. "I told you, I'm not with that pathetic guild; and frankly, I don't care if you don't believe me or what happens to those Fairies, but know this…your guild will perish today!" he said. "I was planning on bringing you in alive…" his left hand made a Ki blade that pierced the Skull Master's heart. "But I guess your corpse will have to suffice."
Bao's eye went wide as blood spilled from his mouth and chest. "W-What are you?" he asked before coughed up more blood and died.
"I told you…I am a god!" Black answered as he dropped Bao's cadaver; He then looked over to the guild hall where he sensed the life forces of the other guild members. "Now to finish the job," He formed a big yellow energy ball with a black center; he threw it at the guild hall where it detonated, obliterating every single member inside, leaving nothing but a giant burnt hole in the ground. Emily and Neb stared at the former guild hall with their jaws hanging open at Black's power.
Emily got over her astonishment and rushed to over to Black, tackling him and embracing him in a big hug. "Thank god, you're alright! I was worried about you!" she said with her head in her chest.
"I am a god girl! I have no need of your thanks, now release me at once!" Black said. Emily immediately obeyed before she realized she had hugged Black's bare chest and became flustered.
Gwen began to awake as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Hey guys, what'd I miss?" she inquired.
"I'll tell you on the way back." Neb told her.
Goku Black then grabbed Bao and hoisted him onto his shoulder. "Now to turn this worthless fool over to the Mayor and receive payment." He said and the quad began to walk back to town; Black was suddenly confused when the floor looked to be getting closer until he fell flat on the ground. "Black!" the others cried as they rushed to his side. Before the Supreme Kai began to lose consciousness, he grasped his chest and smirked. "Guess I took more damage from the fight than expected, this body is much weaker than I initially realized; but it doesn't matter," he thought before closing his eyes and accepting the exhaustion. "This pain will only make me stronger!"
