Chapter 43: Psyfoam's Mistake
An ancient, ancient being created by the ancient Kais...fighting against an ancient, ancient fusion actually discovered by the ancient Saiyans. Who will win? Who will lose? What happens when two ancient beings are put up against each other in a fight? Psyfoam is ready to finish the battle and continue his plan, but will Vree, this new fusion, allow him even a chance? This is the battle that decides the fate of the universe. Psyfoam vs. Vree. Are we doomed or will we be saved? The cards are on the table. It's time to pull an ace out of the sleeve...
------------------------------------
Psyfoam put on a very annoying-looking smirk, his black cape rustling in the wind. "You, fusion..."
"Vree," he said softly.
Psyfoam looked at the fusion and swiped his annoying smirk for one with a mocking tone. "Vree, are you implying that I will lose this battle?"
Vree rolled his eyes, "Duh! What the hell goes through your mind, Psyfoam? News Flash: You're not the strongest being alive!" The fusion would have continued, but two black tails grabbed his wrists and tried to pull him toward Psyfoam. The key word was "tried." "Oh come on, Psyfoam! Coward! Chicken!" The tails on his wrist tightened, but Vree still remained in his relaxed position. "Damn! It's cutting off my circulation..." he muttered to himself as he looked down and noticed that his wrists were turning an ugly shade of purple. "Now that calls for a return blow!"
In a swift movement, Vree suddenly allowed Psyfoam to pull him toward the evil being. Psyfoam began to laugh in the fusion's face, but then gasped once Vree had punched the evil being clean in the stomach. The powerful fusion stood up, having broken away from Psyfoam's black tails, and he was rubbing his purple-colored wrists.
"That was so not cool, Psyfoam. You are such a coward to use your tails to do your dirty work! Damn! That's just annoying." Vree charged an energy blast in one hand, watched Psyfoam jump away, but threw the blast anyway.
The blast exploded right in front of the fusion, and smoke covered the area. This is the perfect way to test your sensing skills. And it worked out the way he wanted it, too. Psyfoam's fist came flying through the smoke, punching Vree clear in the face and causing the fusion warrior to flip backwards and land with his hands on the ground. O...K...He knows how to sense me. Vree stood up and crossed his arms in front of his chest, staring holes straight through his black enemy. Well, that fact alone takes away some possible endings for Psyfoam...Hmm...But it leaves for a very interesting challenge. The fusion warrior smirked.
And then in a flash of speed that was definitely only a characteristic of Reda, the fusion was behind Psyfoam, pounding his fists into Psyfoam's spinal cord. Even when the evil being turned around to swipe his arm close to Vree's neck, the fusion put up an arm to block it. And he didn't even struggle to push Psyfoam's arm away and then kick him clear in the back.
When the dark being went flying forward, and through about five cliffs, Vree was right there to meet him. "You know, Psyfoam. This is so not a challenge. What a disappointment you've been," he said, grabbing hold of Psyfoam's shirt collar from the back.
"A disappointment? I'll show you who the disappointment is!" Psyfoam scowled, suddenly powering up, a black glow surrounding him.
Vree's eyes widened as the darkness began to creep up his own arm; his face contorted as if in pain, and he was forced to jump back, landing on the top of a small cliff. He grunted as he watched Psyfoam power up, the black glow around him burning the grass, melting the rocks, and polluting the wind. Vree looked down at his arm, which was now clear and back to normal. Jeez, that was a close one. He smirked as he clenched his fist. The closest anyone's ever been to hurting me, yet of course, not one's even touched me for...well, a few thousand years.
Don't be so sure of yourself. Over confidence can go a long way toward defeat.
As if in slow motion, the fusion turned around to where he knew Psyfoam was. Only, he appeared to be a little too slow even with Reda's speed. A skinny, black energy beam rushed by and when Vree stood still, a thin line of blood was visible on his cheek.
He growled, "You bastard!" He said, wiping the blood off with a quick thumb; of course, the red blood just returned.
"Behind you, fusion. I never moved from my position." Vree spun back around and scowled as the figure of Psyfoam appeared with his own smirk on his face. "You just thought I did."
Still, Vree kept his cool on the outside, even though he was burning with rage on the inside. "Whatever. Let's just get this over with."
"Fine with me," Psyfoam's smirk widened. "Neither Vee nor Reda stood up to the Horror of Emptiness." He gripped his cloak and then threw it off with his next words, "So what difference should their fusion be?"
As soon as the ugly emptiness of Psyfoam was revealed, Vree turned his head and covered his eyes with his hands, screaming. "No! No!" Psyfoam laughed evilly. "It's just so horrible!" Suddenly, Vree paused, a smile on his face. "Oh, wait, Psyfoam's not naked; he's just empty inside!" The fusion turned back, scratching his head sheepishly, looking straight at the evil being.
"What? What!" Psyfoam yelled. "How can you not be affected? This attack had been around since I was created. No one born or created in this dimension can with stand the emptiness. And don't say fusions don't fail into that category because Gogeta was affected by the emptiness in Empty Space."
Vree grinned, "Okay, I won't say that exactly, but in a way fusions are invincible to the horrors of emptiness."
At this, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Krillin, Piccolo, Supreme Kai, and even the women in the distance wore confused looks and asked themselves the same question: How? Psyfoam almost turned red from rage. "I said that wasn't possible because Gogeta..."
"Yes, Gogeta is affected by it and Gotenks too, but I am not. Gogeta and Gotenks are fusions that were created by a certain alien race, which I forgot the name of...Even Vegetto would be affected because that fusion is formed by the Potara earrings, which were created by Kai magic. I on the other hand, was discovered, not created. And everyone knows fusions are not born; they're created—or discovered—by two people. So, Psyfoam, that must make me a higher being than even you because I have always been around, waiting for my chance to surface when someone discovered the secret to my existence. You were created by Kai magic, so in a way you're on equal terms with Vegetto...Huh, anyway...my point is this." Vree widened his grin and put himself in a modest pose. "I have been around since before the dawn of time, just like Empty Space. And just because Empty Space was discovered before me does not mean I am less powerful." All around who could hear, gasped, even Psyfoam looked worried when he understood. "I am on equal terms with Empty Space; therefore its power—the horror of emptiness—has no effect on me whatsoever. Get ready, Psyfoam; you're fighting someone on the same level as the thing that destroyed your mind in the first place; if you can't win against Empty Space," Vree's eyes shone in the light, "you can't win against me."
"Oh my merciful Kais. This is incredible!" Supreme Kai "shouted" in a hoarse, dry whisper. "I had no idea..."
As Psyfoam stared speechless, Vree decided to finish what he had been called to do. If he's going to stand there like a mindless idiot, let him. It's his own fault; he was going to die anyway; at least he knows why; not many beings know even that little fact. Now, let me think, which attack would be a good finishing move? The fusion was high up in the air, above the ground that Psyfoam stood on, when he made his decision. Perfect...Vee and Reda have learned much...
-------------------------------
Trunks sat up, rubbing his head as he leaned against the same cliff base he had been standing on moments ago. Goten was beside him, rubbing his arm, continually complaining that he need a senzu bean for his broken arm. Every once in a while, the 22 year old would look over at his father, shake his head, and mutter to himself. Trunks decided it best to leave Goten alone right now. There was a lot of guilt on his friend's shoulders at the moment, a lot of guilt for his father.
Instead the hybrid focused on Psyfoam and...well...where was Vree? He couldn't guess the fusion's age, but he was a well mature teen. And a very powerful and smart one at that. Vree had just explained that he was on the same level of power as Empty Space, which was hard to imagine, being as he didn't know what Empty Space could do. Still, from Psyfoam's shocked, speechless reaction he knew Vree was really really powerful. Now, if only he could find the fusion...
Suddenly, everything seemed to happen at a fast pace. In one second, Trunks heard a loud yell from above, "Supreme Lightning!" And in the next few seconds, explosions rocked the area where Psyfoam stood. Goten looked on wide-eyes with Trunks as bolts of lighting came from the sky and hit the ground like energy blast...it was almost like a meteor or comet shower than lightning or energy blasts. Well, all Trunks could say for certain was that a huge radius of explosions hit the ground all around Psyfoam...in fact the circular area ended just a few feet in front of their place.
Finally, the loud explosions stopped, but the smoke was so thick, the hybrid couldn't see his own hand in front of his face. He ended up focusing on a dark point straight ahead, but when the smoke cleared he discovered that Psyfoam was nowhere to be seen. The dark point he had focused on was actually Vree, standing on a cliff on the opposite side of the huge crater, leaning one arm on his bent right leg. Vree's face was all seriousness as he surveyed the area, his eyeballs covering every detail of the crater, looking for any sign of Psyfoam. All there was to be found was a big crater, nothing more, nothing less. Once finished with his little self-assurance, Vree flashed a grin of pure white teeth and held out two fingers of his right hand so that he was making a sideways victory sign.
So, they had won after all. Psyfoam was truthfully gone.
Trunks heard Supreme Kai fall backwards on the cliff above in a gesture of pure relief now that it was finally over. Trunks looked at Goten, frowned at the way Goten seemed to be staring at his father, but then the lilac-haired hybrid found himself smiling when Goten turned his head to him and flashed a guilt-free grin.
It...was...over.
