Chapter 31 Double Invasion
In the Super Universe
Vegeta starred down at his former ruler and lifelong target Frieza. "It may be decades overdue but I will finally make you suffer Frieza and you holding my son and his maté hostage just made things a lot more painful for you!" Vegeta declared filled with confidence with a hint of anger behind it. Frieza growled slightly before grinning. "Ho Ho Ho! You should have stayed with your troop Vegeta. That rogue son of Goku's is going to wipe him and your disgusting family from existence!" Frieza taunted attempting to mentally manipulate the prince into lowering his guard out of concern for his family as well as torture him. "Hmph my family and Kakarot can handle themselves, they just got done training for this moment, which means both of you have bitten off more than you can chew" Vegeta rebuked with pride. "Ho Ho I guess we'll find out. Ahhhh!" Frieza screeched as he transformed into his golden form. Vegeta responded by turning into his super saiyan blue evolution form. Frieza aimed his pointer finger at Vegeta shooting a death beam at the prince. Vegeta merely swatted the beam away to an empty building like it was nothing more than a fly. Frieza gasped. "I've trained as well and while my gains were admittedly not as staggering as the other's, it's more than enough for me to send you back to hell, permanently this time!" Vegeta boasted before zipping over to Frieza at blistering speed then punching the space tyrant in his gut then elbowing his head making him spit out blood. Frieza collapsed to the road, holding up his upper body with shaky hands. He then looked up at Vegeta with sniveling and growling with a vengeful bloody face. "You! You dare to this to me! You will suffer for your insolence!" Frieza yelled out horsely enraged then blasted the spot with a concentrated energy blast, blowing him and Vegeta a few feet away from each other. They both glared at each other with intense hatred getting ready to duke it out once and for all.
Meanwhile just a couple blocks away, GT, Super and GD Goten as a super saiyan 2, blue and rose respectfully charged right to Phoenix. The demon however blocked them all with a black energy shield. After the three attackers backed away, the black energy shield reshaped itself into that of a scythe. "I may be a god of justice, but for all you mortals, especially you Goku, I am the grim reaper of justice!" Phoenix exclaimed swinging his energy scythe near MC Goten and MC Krillin who narrowly dodged. "Grim reaper of justice? And they say my ego is bloated" MC Goten remarked before turning blue and he along with MC Krillin shot dozens of ki blasts at the scythe. The blasts disentagrated the scythe, some of the remnants hit Phoenix himself but took little to no damage. Super, Future and GT Trunks grouped together. "Ahhh!" All three Trunkses yelled powering up. Super Trunks went super saiyan blue, Future Trunks turned to his super saiyan rage form while GT Trunks went Super Saiyan three. "Finish Buster!" Both Super and GT Trunks screamed sending the combined ball of flame like attack at Phoenix. Phoenix caught the attack. "Ha you think this primitive technique of yours will save you from my-huh?!" Phoenix stopped as he sensed four other energy signatures building around him. The first was Future Trunks to his side infusing his sword with energy. Second was Piccolo behind him charging energy into his fingertips. The last two were Gohan and GT Bulla above his head charging yellow electrical energy into the palms of their hands. "Spirit Sword!" Future Trunks said jumping forward with energized sword in hand slicing it in the air sending a large slash of blue energy. "Special Beam Cannon!" Piccolo yelled firing a large beam of energy with purple spirals. "Masenko ha!" Gohan exclaimed unleashing his attack. Bulla simply screamed as she launched her energy blast, not having the time or mindset to name it. All four attacks made contact with Phoenix simultaneously creating a big mushroom of energy leaving the demon screaming in agony and several empty buildings destroyed.
Meanwhile in between the fights with Frieza and Phoenix, the baby controlled z warriors and the resistance fighters of the IW Universe stared each other down before a decisive look formed on IW goten's face. "Alright! Attack pattern delta two version three!" IW Goten ordered fiercely. "Copy!" The rest of the crew said in unison. Korra activated her avatar state summoning the four surrounding buildings to come closer to their brainwashed adversaries. "What's happening?!" Yamcha asked nervous. In a violent burst, the four bended buildings came apart but the glass and metal parts levitated back into the air, coming together and spinning around the z warriors like a tornado. "Deadpool your up!" Korra said in an angelic like voice summoning a boulder of concrete from the road and having it float near the vortex. "Get ready gents! Your about to hear your best and last concert ever!" Deadpool warned happily with a hint of deceptive glee. Sprinting towards the trapped z warriors, he jumped onto a wrecked car and leaped from it to the levitating boulder. He then pulled out his duel swords. "Alright babe start swinging me around!" Deadpool requested as he began to slice at the metal tornado with his swords creating intense sound waves inside it grieving the z warriors with the ringing. "Arghh! What is this?!" Tien asked pained him the rest of the brainwashed z fighters covering their ears. Korra bended the boulder around making it spin around at the same speed the metal vortex was allowing Deadpool to generate more and more ear damaging ringing within it. "Yeah! This'll give you assholes all a bad case of tinnitus! Ha ha!" Deadpool exclaimed increasing the ferocity of his medal slicing. Then the merc with a mouth abruptly stopped letting the sound waves fade inside making the z fighters uncovering their ears thinking they relented. Boy were they wrong. Deadpool put his duel swords away and pulled out a microphone. "And for the grand finale of this amazing show I give you...!" Deadpool paused tapping the microphone making sure it worked then took a deep deep breath bending his head back before throwing it back centimeters from his mike and shouting "MY BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!!". The shout generated sound waves twenty times more intense than the sword ones before making the vulnerable z fighters writh in agony, some of them their ears bleeding and on the brink of passing out. Korra's avatar state faded, taking the medal tornado with it and put the Deadpooled boulder down. "Your turn Goliaths!" Deadpool called out referring to Bumblebee and Venom. Bumblebee morphed into his car form, Venom lifted him up then leaped into the air. Halfway towards their targets, Venom threw Bumblebee sending him on a slightly different trajectory. Venom flew into the dazed Tien, Chaoizu Krillin and Android Seventeen while Bumblebee went to collide with Yamcha, Android eighteen and Master Roshi. The two behemoths tackled both parties of z fighters to the ground inches from each other. "Now!" Venom and Bumblebee called out together jumping a ways away from what they knew was coming next. IW Goten and Shadow looked at each other and nodded in understanding before both powered up to their base form maxes. "Chaos!" Shadow and IW Goten said concentrating a mass of yellow chaos energy in his hand, IW Goten doing the same with his ki. "Punisher!" They yelled out in unison launching the attack and striking the brainwashed z fighters head on creating a big explosion.
Meanwhile, back at the fight with Phoenix, the GD, MC and GT universe visitors as well as the remaining not brainwashed Super universe fighters floated towards the pile of rubble where they sensed Phoenix's ki building. Sure enough the demon blew the pile off of himself with a furious scream and glared at the warriors levitating above him. "Damn you all! I'm trying to save Pan and here you are trying to get in my way!" Phoenix yelled out angrily in frustration. "Goten stop! We'll help you and Pan! Please! Let us!" Goku pleaded with the dark half of the GD version of his son. "And work with you!? Never!" Phoenix screamed enraged shooting a big ball of black flames at Goku. Goku dodged but was then grabbed in a death grip by Phoenix by his throat. "Dad!" Gohan, Super and GT Goten screamed in fear for their father. Phoenix was violently choking the life out of Goku, occasionally bashing his head against whatever was near them as the struggle made them fly erratically. "You can't stop me Goku! I am your end! Divinity personified! I am faster, stronger, smarter and better than you are or ever will be! I actually care about the universe and what happens to Pan! You care about nothing! Absolutely nothing! All except for fighting and games! You are an idiot! Just like the rest of the mortals! That is why you shall perish in my grasp! Aahhhh!" Phoenix let out an insane shriek, tightening his grip on Goku's throat with one hand and letting go with the other conjuring up a ki blade. Before Phoenix could deliver the fatal blow however something snapped in Goku turning super saiyan blue and his hand grabbed Phoenix's throat tight. "How dare you!" Goku roared in anger activating Kaioken , blasting Phoenix off of him with a burst of energy. "You say your better than me?! Not like this you are!" Goku scolded furiously zipping towards Phoenix and punching him back into the air. "You call me an idiot when your the one who recklessly got Pan sick?! Who's the real idiot here?!" Goku said as he zipped to Phoenix again this time kicking him under his feet making the demon disoriented. "I may have made a few mistakes with the ones I care about but that doesn't mean I didn't care! You've gone and destroyed an entire timeline's worth of lives including your own family! And for what?! To get back at me?!" Goku questioned in a fury punching Phoenix several times in the face and stomach. With one kick on the head, he sent a Phoenix careening through the sky in pain. "If this how you intend to go on Phoenix then I have no choice! Ka meh Ah meh ha!" Goku exclaimed launching the iconic beam at Phoenix making a brilliant explosion in the air. After the dust settled, Phoenix could be seen, injured and torn up but still very much alive and ready for more. Goku came to Phoenix's level powering down out of Kaioken. His angered face changed to one of regret and sorrow. "Goten... I'm sorry, for everything but this madness needs to end. Deep down you must know that I didn't mean to get your universe erased and that what you have been doing is wrong and that you still hold love for the ones you lost" Goku said bittersweetly. Phoenix's own angered face turned to one of confusion and thoughtfulness. However it quickly morphed again to a determined, decided expression. "Like I said before Goku, it's seventeen years too late for that. And even if you are right and I did care about my lost family, there gone now and no other version of them in the multiverse will ever be able to truly take their place! And I will never be able to love you or any of the mortal scum that is them ever again!" Phoenix finished yelling. Goku narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "Really? Then why are you going out of your way to save Pan?" Goku asked skeptically yet knowingly at the same time referring to the sick GT Pan in the distance with Kibito Kai. "What?!" Phoenix gasped, caught off guard and stunned by Goku's words. "She's not your Pan yet you clearly love her. It may have gotten her sick but even so you wanted to help her become a god like you. And now that she's sick, you're doing everything you can to cure her, you were even putting aside your grudge against me. I'm definitely not an expert on it but that sure does sound like love to me" Goku explained. Phoenix now shook conflicted and confused. Despite his long standing view that Goku was just a careless monster with no brains he just said something that not only sounded intelligent but part of him felt was correct. He did love GT Pan, with all his black heart despite the fact that she was both a mortal and not from his original universe. Was he wrong? Could he come to care for others if he gave them the chance? Was there a way to cure GT Pan of Umibozu without killing anyone or risking it all with the nefarious Frieza? These thoughts were swirling around in his fractured mind. They fought and collided with other darker thoughts. Did it matter? GT Pan was gonna die and very soon so should he just kill Goku like Frieza asked and take the chance?
Just then, almost every fighter in all three fights sensed millions of alien ki signatures approaching the planet from space. "Lord Frieza! Are you here?!" A communication device Frieza had on him rang out, miraculously not damaged in the fight with Vegeta. Frieza pulled it out answering it. "Yes, who is this?" Frieza asked. "This is your commander my lord! I've brought the entire armada here to rescue you and we are ready to fight on your command!" The commander answered obediently from the mothership. "Ho Ho Ho splendid! Good work commander! Send down all the squadrons to this frontier planet's surface!" Frieza ordered happily. "Yes my lord! It will be do- wait what is this!?" The commander said shocked a alarm going off. "What's wrong?" Frieza asked perplexed by his commander's change in tone. "Our scanners just detected a massive temporal anomaly near this solar system's sun, the energy readings are insane!" The commander said frantically. Right at that moment, the rays of the sun were distorted by a ripple in space in time in front of it. The distortion grew and began to glow blue. It flashed abruptly blinding everyone in the battle torn city and a few Frieza soldiers in space. The light faded but when everyone looked back at the site, something else was there. Where the distortion was now a gargantuan Death Star like ship blocked the sun entirely, making the surface of the earth appear as though it was having a solar eclipse. "The hell is that?" Phoenix asked befuddled by the sudden development. The IW universe visitors examined the ufo and their eyes widened as they immediately recognized what it was. "Oh no..." IW Goten muttered in fear and dread. Hovering just above the earth's atmosphere, the equally dumbfounded Frieza force armada was suddenly met by countless battleships originating from the sun sized mothership coming out of hyperspace extremely close to their positions. None of them recalled the type of battleship the opposing fleet was, which was at least three times bigger than the Frieza force's. It was the Mortal Empire army having traveled to the Super Universe via the All Spark and the three chaos emeralds it had in its possession. After the last battleship exited the mothership, a small by comparison red energy cube that seemed to be carrying passengers came out of the structure. It then turned into a red streak zipping through the solar system at unimaginable speeds till it abruptly halted just above the battleground. All fighters, friend and foe stared at the red cube, it's true size having been revealed to be big enough for twenty people. The cube disintegrated revealing its passengers to be none other than Deathstroke, Azula, Infinite, Starscream, Cell and his junior offspring. Frieza and Phoenix were just bewildered while the rest were struck with a terrible mixture of horror, fear and anger. "A party? How quaint. Mind if we crash? Hmm ha ha!" Cell asked creepily looking over the grouping before him and his allies. "Oh wow we are so fucked" Deadpool said bluntly sounding somewhat serious and nervous for a change. Now it was time for the multiverse to go all out war.
In the MC Universe
Baby and Bulma made their way to the generators Baby providing light through a small orb of ki in his hand. Eventually they reached the energy reserve room. "Launch! Are you here!?" Bulma called out. "Yeah I'm here sweet cheeks" Launch replied coming from around with her typical starkness that her blond self was known for. "Did you happen to see what caused the generators to malfunction?" Bulma asked. "No I've been too busy looking for my boyfriend Dutch. He went to go get us a drink and that was an hour ago" Launch answered visibly annoyed and concerned. "We'll search for him, but first let's fix the problem, it'll be easier to find him with the lights on after all" Bulma suggested. "Good idea, wait who's this weirdo ?" Launch inquired just now noticing Baby. "I'll appreciate it if you didn't call me that ms launch" Baby snarled clearly irritated by Launch's comment of him. "He's from the galactic patrol so he's cool, he's gonna help us track down the murderer after we get the power back on" Bulma explained. "Hmph alright well let's get busy" Launch declared the three of them resuming their walk to the generators. Eventually they entered the area where Bulma knew they were located. The three started hearing electrical sparking noises on the other side of the room and faint lightning sparks could be seen in the dark room. "That must be the problem, a fuse must have blown or something" Bulma thought. As they walked closer they saw two chairs near the sparking spot, the chairs that Launch and Dutch had set up for themselves to rest occasionally from patrol. Sitting on one of the chairs appeared to be a man turned to his back away from the group holding a shotgun in his lap. "Dutch! There you are! Where the hell were you a prankster!? I was looking everywhere for you!" Launch berated who she thought was her boyfriend. However no response came from the figure, it didn't even move or anything to indicate it was aware of the group behind him. "Hey! Dutch! Hello!" Launch yelled again getting frustrated with her boyfriend's seeming ignorance of her. Again the figure didn't so much as flinch or make a peep. Bulma and Baby looked at each other puzzled and, at least for bulma slightly worried. "You deaf or something?! Pay attention!" Launch screamed now marching over to the figure. When she got close enough however her light shined on the supposed blown fuse and it revealed a nightmarish site. It was Dutch, smashed into the giant fuse box, electrocuted and fried to a crisp dead. His skin had burned to pitch black and his eyes popped out almost out of their sockets adding to his frozen terrified screaming face. Launch as well as Bulma shook wide eyed muttering before they both screamed in horror. Baby had a slightly surprised expression himself. Launch came close to crying after screaming her lungs out before she flinched her head up realizing something terrifying. If this was Dutch, then who was that sitting on the chair? As if reading her mind to answer, the figure still hidden in darkness rose from the chair, shotgun in both hands. It turned around and came within the group's lights range just enough to reveal its ghostly white masked face and black eyes. The three of them stared on at the figure in fear, even Baby felt a chill run down his spine despite his curiosity. How would they survive the evil that was Xiaver?
