Vegeta was pummeling Goku Black's body again and again. Each blow felt thunderous, perplexing the divine Saiyan imposter. With each hit that he received, he felt more and more pain.
"How could there be such a huge gap in our power," Black exasperated, feeling out of breath for the first time. The strength of Vegeta felt completely paradoxical!
Black was then pulled up from his hair.
"That's simple," Vegeta replied, punching Black in the gut. "You're an interloper, a Saiyan imposter, and I'm the real thing."
With all his might, Vegeta threw Black away from him with the regality of a Saiyan prince.
"The almighty PRINCE VEGETA!" roared the blue Saiyan, powering up with utmost fury and pride and continued to brutalize Black once more.
Black couldn't believe what he was feeling. He was actually losing! It felt like Vegeta's anger had limitless power. Power that was absolutely primal to the Saiyan race.
Vegeta punched Black straight into a building and followed up with a gargantuan energy blast. Black's fears and confusion were erased as soon as he gave a smile.
BOOM
Had he been a third-rate wannabe mortal on divine conquest, it might've been over for Black. The Zero Mortals Plan might have even been over had Black kept his original body as a mere Supreme Kai in training.
But he was no normal Core person. His efforts brought the end to divine hierarchy in the multiverse and saw the elimination of almost all mortal life in the infinite cosmos.
And he had Son Goku to thank.
Blasting through the rubble, Black immediately shot up to the air to face Vegeta once more. This time, he knew what his body needed.
"So anger is what fuels this body," Black observed. Such a primal, disgusting way to obtain power. The old vermin that Gowasu used to show him would use such barbaric methods as well. On the other hand, as Saiyans, Black couldn't help but notice the clear tangible results in power from Goku and Vegeta.
"If that's what fuels this body, then I should use MY anger," Black declared. Making a violent fierce god slicer, he stabbed his other hand, focused as if he were a hyena who hasn't eaten in days.
"What the-" Vegeta exclaimed with confusion. He's seen this technique used countless times. This was certainly not how he imagined it would be used.
Goku Black roared, extending his hands, almost as if he was holding something. All his rage, frustration, and hatred crystalized into one weapon of justice and righteousness. With this scythe, he would become the harbinger of death to all that is unjust to this cosmos.
Pointing his newly made scythe at Vegeta, Black excitedly swung at him, ecstatic about his sudden new heights of seemingly endless potential.
Vegeta dodged, disappointed that what he saw was all theatrics. Suddenly, a sense of cold and fear enveloped him like never before.
"What the heck is that-" Vegeta, bewildered by the tear in reality. Clones of Black suddenly appeared, with Vegeta feeling more furious than he has ever been.
Black looked on, amused at this new development.
"Well, I'm glad you're enjoying the show, Vegeta," Black mockingly congratulated. "Let's put my power to the test even more, shall we?"
More and more tears were ripped, spawning uncountable amounts of clones. Black kept spawning more and more of these portals; his bloodlust was unquenchable.
Far away, Goku and Zamasu noticed Black's tears in reality. There seemingly had no limit to them.
"What the heck is he doing," Goku asked, concerned about this new power.
"You're fighting me, you worthless mortal," Zamasu replied, completely ignoring the question. Still, he couldn't help but notice that Goku had an actual point over the concern for this reckless usage of power.
The Goku Black clones kept coming in huge waves as every clone Vegeta destroyed, several more would take its place. The continued assault of the real Goku Black did nothing to help calm the situation.
"HOW IS THAT?" Black roared with insanity. "YOU WILL SURELY TASTE MY DIVINE WRATH NOW, MORTAL!"
With each ramble about mortal life Black spewed, another reality tear would spawn from his scythe. The chaos radiating from them was unlike anything seen before in the multiverse. The nearby landscape would tear apart because of this chaos, and Black couldn't have enough of it.
Zamasu's focus changed from Goku to his pink-haired counterpart. Noticing this distraction, Goku landed another mighty blow to Zamasu's face. He staggered, but looked at Black instead of the adversary facing him.
"You feel that too, huh," Goku said to Zamasu. As evil as a multiversal plan to slaughter all mortals was, there had to be some limits to it, right?
Zamasu gave a snarled glance to Goku. It was going all so well before, what the hell was going on with him? He quickly flew to Vegeta and Goku Black's direction with Goku tailing him.
With the endless stream of clones and scythe blasts, Vegeta was looking even more beat up than the first time he fought Black. But how could he fail now? How could he even take a few seconds to sleep when his son from the future was counting on him to give him a better life? As Black saw the everso injured Vegeta, he put his efforts into one final swing until-
"That's enough," a familiar voice said.
Zamasu confronted Black with worry and confusion.
"What the hell do you think you're doing," Black asked in a calm rage. What was his immortal counterpart thinking while interrupting this perfect moment?
"I'm glad that you seem to have adjusted to your body even better than before," Zamasu said. "Do remember that while you are doing a noble act by slaying Vegeta, I believe that we would like to exterminate all mortals before rebuilding the cosmos, not outright destroying the multiverse altogether."
"LIKE HELL I CARE ABOUT THAT ANYMORE," Black shot at Zamasu, kicking him to the ground. A stunned Vegeta simply could not believe what he was seeing before his eyes.
"YOU'RE THROUGH," the real Goku yelled out, preparing a giant punch. Black, noticing this, caught Goku's attack and threw him to the ground.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS," Black exclaimed.
"I don't need your help, I can talk it out with him," Zamasu angrily said to Goku.
Black then shot from above the sky, crushing Zamasu beneath him.
"I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO MAKE THE COSMOS PURE AND RIGHTEOUS," Black screamed at his partner-in-crime. "HOW DARE YOU STOP ME."
"Damn it," Zamasu yelped. "You're not thinking clearly, I was merely keeping you in check-"
"PERHAPS THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE CHECKED ARE YOUR PRIORITIES," Black furiously declared, blasting Zamasu away. He followed him with punches that would have been lethal had it been anyone else.
"DID FIGHTING GOKU MAKE YOU SOFT," Black ranted. "SPEND YEARS UNDER THAT DIRT-LOVING GOWASU, TEACHING NONSENSICAL THINGS ABOUT JUSTICE AS IF HE KNEW A THING ABOUT IT."
Black made his scimitar and started slashing at Zamasu.
"WE ARE GODS OF THIS COSMOS," Black preached. "WE DON'T SUBMIT TO REALITY. REALITY SUBMITS TO US."
With that, Black made his scythe again.
"Every death fuels the creation of a paradise," Black continued to tirade. "My power towers above ALL of creation. AND I REFUSE TO LET IT GO TO WASTE. WHY SIMPLY END MORTAL LIFE WHEN WE CAN SIMPLY DESTROY THE ENTIRE FABRICS OF REALITY AND START ANEW?"
Goku and Vegeta suddenly instant transmissioned and deflected the blast that was supposed to hit Zamasu.
"Looks like you do need our help," Goku said to Zamasu sternly.
Zamasu couldn't help but feel that Goku was actually right. Even though he had an indestructible body, that did not mean that he had infinite energy. He would have to backtrack on the Zero Mortal Plans momentarily and get this matter in place before the peace he hoped for became simply a dream again.
Shin and Gowasu kai-kai'd to Goku, Vegeta, and Zamasu's location. Shin gave a senzu bean to both Goku and Vegeta with the duo being restored immediately back to full health.
"I am glad to see that you still have some sense of reason left, Zamasu," Gowasu would proclaim slightly proudly. Irritated, Zamasu got himself ready with his encounter with the rose-colored saiyan.
"We'll send you to oblivion some other time, Zamasu," Vegeta declared. "For now, we have a whole other problem to deal with."
Black stared down at the group with anger few gods have ever felt. More justification to his new ultimatum. Launching another scythe blast, the group dodged it with Goku and Vegeta leading an assault.
Taking to the skies once more, it was clear how much of a zenkai boost Black received from all of his fighting. His speed and power was truly insurmountable now.
Black gave his signature melee energy sword attacks to both Goku and Vegeta, who were still giving their typical punches and kicks in their blue forms. As Black swung again, suddenly, something latched onto him.
"YOU!" Black snarled.
Zamasu locked Black by both his shoulders, giving Goku and Vegeta time to give even more damaging attacks. Black spat out blood from the impact of the duo.
"Let's do this, Vegeta," Goku said.
"I'm way ahead of you," Vegeta replied.
"Galick-"
"Kamehame-"
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
The blast connected and hit Black held on by Zamasu, emanating for miles and miles.
"Don't let your guard down, Kakarot," Vegeta said.
As the smoke settled, Black's figure started to be visible. Bruised, battered, and beaten up like never before, he still maintained his Rose form. Zamasu looked at Black with disbelief.
"If you had this sort of power earlier, maybe we would have eradicated these mortals and created an actual utopia much sooner," Zamasu remarked.
"Says the traitorous scum siding with them," Black replied. Powering up, Black made yet another scythe, slashing madly in all directions.
"It's happening again," Vegeta observed. An army of clones piled up onto the field. Not only were these tears stronger than the ones Black made to adjust to this power, but reality started to disform. It was a chaotic show with the clones attacking Goku, Vegeta, and Zamasu.
"NOW WHAT IS THERE TO STOP ME ONCE I FINISH CREATING MY GRAND U-"
One of the clones kicked the real Goku Black squarely in the chest. Confused and even more enraged, Black's temper went even more off.
"HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY YOUR CREATOR," Black shrieked. The clones attacked everything indiscriminately, making Black occupied.
"Now's our chance, let's go," Zamasu ordered.
"Yeah," Goku agreed. "Let's go again, Vegeta."
"I know, clown," Vegeta replied.
"Final-"
"Kamehame-"
"Divine-"
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" they all screamed in unison.
The distracted Black got hit right on with this incredible assault. Black was pushed away from them, with no control over his direction.
"NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," Black screamed in horror and agony as he felt his body start to tear up from this effort. Seeing that he was being launched into one of the tears he created, he felt more afraid than the Zamasu who got hakai'd.
Inside the tear, he found himself in a void of magenta and pink. The swirl of reality shifting absolutely overwhelmed Black in his state; he had to go back to base form, he lost all his allies, the utopia he was making probably would not come into fruition, and he was experiencing unspeakable things. Feeling like he was repeatedly submerged underwater and brought back to the surface for a moment, for the first time in his life, Black wanted the suffering to go away.
As all hope was lost, suddenly, a tear opened up to a forest, similar in style to the one he and Zamasu used to own. Black landed with a thud. Before he could even utter a word in this new location, Black passed out.
Author's note: So I pretty much wrote this for fun, not sure how long it'll be but probably lengthy if I decide to continue this. Won't be surprised if I revisit this and decide to tweak it. Constructive feedback is more than welcomed!
