Fight On, God and King! For the Empire!

Cooler wastes no time rushing at Bojack. It's obvious that Cooler has a deep vendetta against the space pirate, and Zamasu isn't willing to waste the opportunity to have an ally as strong as Cooler fight with him.

The frost demon charges into Bojack's guard and throws a hard punch at the Hera's stomach. Unlike when Bojack first met Zamasu's group, he actually dodges this blow. Despite the smirk on the Hera's face, Zamasu can tell that Bojack is much more wary of Cooler than of Zamasu himself. Zamasu smirks. "Let's change that, shall we?" Zamasu's purple aura ignites and he charges in as well.

Bojack slides to the side as Zamasu's ki blade flashes past his face, narrowly missing his long hair. Bojack looks at the two of them and says, "Two on one? That's hardly fair."

Bojack is suddenly silenced by a brutal roundhouse kick from Cooler. "The Cold Family NEVER plays fair! And you certainly are no better!" With that, Cooler rushes after Bojack's flying form and kicks him up into the sky before he can hit one of the many spaceships in the landing zone.

Zamasu appears behind Bojack with his trademark woosh, his ki blade descending on the Hera. Bojack's eyes snap open and he flies to the side, not only avoiding Zamasu's ki blade, but also giving the kai a swift kick to the head as well.

Cooler, ignoring Zamasu's flying form, moves in to attack Bojack once more. The two begin trading blows with each other, quickly blocking and punching, until they become nothing more than a blur of green and white limbs.

Zamasu manages to right himself midair, growling softly at his less-than-stellar performance so far. He suddenly feels an energy approaching and sees Toga flying toward him. Yelling out, "Don't! We can't have any distractions while battling," Zamasu turns and blasts toward Bojack once more.

Pouring as much speed as he can into his flight, Zamasu quickly approaches the dueling enemies. Taken off guard by Cooler's onslaught, Bojack has no time to react as Zamasu gives him a quick kick to the head. The massive Hera is launched backward by the force, flying rapidly though the sky and wondering what the hell just hit him.

Cooler smirks and says, "At least one good hit came from you. Keep it up, monkey." Cooler flies after Bojack as Zamasu growls in annoyance and quickly follows.

Bojack manages to right himself in time to block Cooler's flight-enhanced punch, then ducks down to avoid Zamasu. The Hera turns and tosses two ki blasts with a yell, startling both the frost demon and the kai. With the two distracted, Bojack rockets forward and slams his forearm into the necks of them both, lariating them into a tailspin as he passes by.

Turning quickly, Bojack grabs both of his enemies by the head and slams them into the ground, kicking up dust and shattering the concrete beneath them.

Cooler grits his teeth and quickly raises himself off the ground. He glances to the side and sees his crew escorting visitors and natives away from the landing area, trying to keep his people safe. Cooler smirks as he watches Salza turns and gives him a thumbs up, signaling the evacuation has finished.

Cooler begins to chuckle, which makes Bojack raise an eyebrow in confusion. "What the hell are you laughing about? I just crushed you and that saiyan into the ground with little effort."

Cooler rises out of the ground and slowly settles into his family's infamous pose. Palms forward and a malicious smirk on his face, Cooler replies, "I can finally go all out. And what makes you think I was even trying?"

As Bojack's eyes widen in surprise, Cooler lowers himself into a horse stance. "And what makes you think he was trying?!" Bojack's eyes snap over to Zamasu, who at this point had risen out of the ground and was gazing at Bojack with a serious expression.

Cooler begins a low yell, his aura flaring as he begins powering up. Zamasu watches calmly as he forces his own energy to its peak, pulling on the energy he spent so much time practicing in the past against Goku. God ki is no option currently, but that other energy... Zamasu smirks.

Meanwhile, Bojack, who can sense energy, is disturbed by the amount of energy being exuded by these two. He begins to ponder on whether he can survive disrupting these transformations, but quickly decides against it. "Besides," he thinks to himself with a smirk. "Not even Frieza's full strength comes close to my own!" With that decision made, Bojack begins transforming into his super form.

Three transformations at once, each of them shaking the planet of Arcto to its core. Salza watches from the sideline as he sees his boss, the saiyan-kai, and the Hera all power-up. Salza puts a hand over his heart and says, "We hold our hopes to you, Lord Cooler. Protect the empire!"

Toga and Cheelai watch in awe as Zamasu goes beyond anything they've seen before. His aura, normally purple in color, begins to shift into a brilliantly bright orange. She can see his frown from here, and she can't help but wonder if Zamasu can go beyond even this. To see that power, to know that it is possible for the Saiyans to go beyond their bloody lineage, would mean the world to the young hybrid. Raising her hands to her mouth, Toga yells, "Go Zamasu! Show him what a saiyan can do!" Cheelai cheers loudly alongside her, a smile adorning her face.

A chain reaction occurs and soon every being watching the battle begins to cheer. Zamasu and Cooler, taking in the sounds of hope surrounding them, can't help but feel empowered by their remarks. "My people," the both of them think. "I will not fail them."

With those thoughts, three auras ignite into full force, settling to show the ascended forms of each fighter. Bojack's behemoth of form showcases the full might of the Super Hera, something only the strongest of Hera Warriors can achieve. Bojack grits his teeth, reeling in his power and forcing it into himself with a control rarely seen by many.

Zamasu's hair flows softly in his aura, a blaze of orange flames surrounding him. Electricity arcs off his body of his False Super Saiyan form, his hair glowing a brilliant orange. The sight of a star would be accurate to the level of power Zamasu is exuding at this moment, his face grim and serious.

And finally Cooler. His body is nearly twice its normal size and sports many more spikes. His muscles bulge across his massive form, showcasing the raw level of strength the demon is now exuding. A biological mask slides over his face and Cooler's pure red eyes narrow. "Now!"

The three warriors launch at each other and clash in a brilliant flash of color. Their forms blur as they race across the landscape, the two sides trying to gain an advantage over the other. Streaks of light arc across the sky as the combatants clash, rocketing through the air.

Salza frowns, watching closely at his boss's battle. "Lord Cooler and the saiyan, Zamasu, have the number advantage and immense power. However, that cretin Bojack has a strength far beyond anything I've felt before. I can't help but wonder if it'll be enough."

Bojack swings forward to strike at Cooler, causing the demon to block and shoot across the sky from the force of the blow. Zamasu launches past and delivers a hard kick to Bojack's head, sending him far away from Cooler's disoriented form.

The kai streaks forward, his fist clad in orange flames, and prepares to strike Bojack. The Hera stops his flight and looks up, only to see Zamasu right in his face. His eyes widen in shock as the kai-saiyan brings his fist forward and digs it into Bojack's stomach. With a mighty roar, Zamasu sends Bojack careening into the atmosphere, far above the clouds.

A cheer from the crowds below gives Zamasu temporary relief, but he can tell this isn't over. He can see Cooler shooting high into the sky, and Zamasu quickly follows suit. The two of them settle above the clouds, watching as Bojack lowers himself back down from his short trip into space.

The Hera grins wickedly, his hand over his bloody stomach from Zamasu's blow, and his eyes full of bloodlust. "Amazing! I never thought I'd have this much fun with you both!" Bojack slams his fists against his chest and falls into a fighting stance, something Zamasu had yet to see him do. "Now I'm serious! COME! Face me!"

Three auras ignite as Zamasu and Cooler accept this challenge. Cooler raises his leg and slams it into Bojack's chest. The Hera blocks the blow, pushing back with his own energy. As Bojack is distracted, Zamasu flies behind him and activates his ki blade. The blade shines brightly with his power, crackling from the sheer force of his energy.

Bojack, sensing the coming threat, stops blocking and grabs Cooler's leg. He cringes at the pain, but he otherwise is able to get a good hold. Cooler's eyes widen as he feels himself drop as Bojack stops flying, pulling the both of them down.

Zamasu's swing completely misses as Bojack and Cooler drop, and he looks down to see Bojack swing Cooler around, then throw him away. Zamasu watches warily as Bojack looks up at him, then grins.

Bojack's form vanishes and Zamasu barely has time to block before Bojack appears in front of him, his massive form shadowed from the sun behind him, and sends a blow toward his chest. Zamasu rockets back from the blow and is able to quickly right himself.

The two warriors quickly rush at each other, rocketing across the planet's skies as the clash. Zamasu punches Bojack in the face, causing the Hera to growl and gut punch the kai, making him gag. Bojack spins and kicks Zamasu in the side, sending him flying, then turns as Cooler descends upon him.

Bojack dodges a blow from Cooler, then grins widely as he asks, "Why are you teaming up with a saiyan, of all people? You hate saiyans!"

Cooler ducks beneath Bojack's punch and turns to kick the Hera. "We have similar interests. And besides, he is no ordinary saiyan!"

Bojack deflects Cooler's rapid strike and mutters, "What?"

Cooler grins beneath his mask. "That's for me to know and you to never find out. HA!" Cooler suddenly lunges forward and delivers a heavy kick to Bojack's chest, catching the Hera off guard. Bojack gapes in pain as he registers the blow. Then, Cooler kicks him again, sending him flying into the sky.

Turning around, Cooler yells, "Take him out, now! I know you are listening!"

Green eyes flash from within the clouds. "I know." Zamasu appears behind Bojack with Instant Transmission, his hands already cupped to form a Kamehameha. Zamasu grits his teeth, pouring as much energy as he can. Bojack, having sensed this power, turns and yells, "You won't win! I can block it!"

Zamasu, his energy built to maximum, screams in response. "HA!" A wave of golden-orange rushes forward, covering Bojack's entire form.

Bojack, arms crossed, grits his teeth as he fights back against the attack. "You won't win! You won't! I refuse to die today!"

"Too bad, Hera! You messed with my empire, you messed with ME! By my decree, you DIE!" Cooler rushes through the Kamehameha wave, his body shimmering with a strange aura. Bojack turns and gasps audibly as he sees Cooler rush through the energy wave like water. Then, Cooler strikes.

The air in Bojack's lungs rushes out as Cooler slams his leg into Bojack's back. Cooler quickly jumps out of the Kamehameha and watches as Bojack flies through the air, screaming the whole way, and is sent far into space.

Zamasu pants deeply, his hair reverting back to black, as he slowly lowers his hands. Cooler floats down next to him and says, "Is he gone?" Zamasu, stretching his senses as far as he can, feels no energy. He nods. Cooler grunts in satisfaction. "Good."

Cooler's body compresses slightly, returning him to his 4th form. No longer masked, Zamasu can tell just how tired Cooler is. And judging from the blood and bruises across his body, he was beaten pretty badly by Bojack at some points. Zamasu isn't much different.

The two warriors slowly fly back to the landing area. When the crowd sees only Cooler and Zamasu return, the tense silence is broken with deafening cheers. Frost demons and visitors to the planet rush forward, all eager to congratulate their saviors.

Cooler grins at the praise, and he can't help but remark, "My brother never would've gotten this. I believe I'm already starting better than he did."

Zamasu smirks slightly. "Keep up your morals and remember your mortality. You will be a great ruler." Cooler gives Zamasu a grateful smirk, though Zamasu can tell that Cooler wouldn't be giving up his less-than-desirable traits any time soon. Ah well, that was too much to ask for such a short meeting.

Zamasu turns to Toga and Cheelai as he finally lands. The two of them lunge at him and wrap him in a tight hug. Toga yells, "I can't believe it! You won, you actually won!"

Cheelai jumps up and down like the small girl she should be and exclaims. "That was so cool! You went WHAM and POW, and Cooler was all BOOM and BAM! And Bojack couldn't keep up with you both. Awesome!"

Zamasu grins and rubs Cheelai's hair affectionately. "Yes, it is quite a miracle that we won. However, Bojack was overconfident and not cautious. That cost him in the end. Remember this lesson girls, always keep your opponents on a pedestal equal to your own. Then you will never fall like Bojack did." Cheelai and Toga nod, even though Cheelai would likely never actually fight in her lifetime.

Suddenly, Zamasu hears, "Hey! Saiyan! Get over here!" Zamasu turns and sees Salza waving them over, standing next to Cooler and the rest of his squadron. Zamasu walks over, bringing Cheelai and Toga with him.

As soon as Zamasu arrives, Salza turns to the crowd and yells, "For Zamasu! And for Lord Cooler! Saviors of Arcto and of the Cooler Empire!"

"LORD COOLER!"

"ZAMASU!"

"LORD COOLER!"

"ZAMASU!"

Cooler laughs loudly, soaking in the praise of his actions. Zamasu smiles, his heart warming from the sounds of cheering around him. Cooler turns and raises his hand to Zamasu. "If you ever need assistance, call. You will always be welcome in the Cooler Empire."

Zamasu grabs Cooler's hand and nods. Cooler grins, then says, "Thank you, once again, for helping me defend my home." Zamasu smirks, and Cooler returns it.

Cooler turns to the crowd and yells, "Now, let us celebrate the successful defense of Arcto, and my own coronation!" The crowd cheers, and Zamasu can't help but want to join. For once, ever since he arrived in this timeline, and even long before that, he can finally feel some peace. Finally… he can rest, just for a while

"Boss is down."

"Down? Really?"

"Yeah. Damn, and I still can't move much."

"Don't worry, we can still take care of them."

"So continue with the mission?"

"Of course! Boss'll be angry if we don't!"

"...Right. Let's go then."

The book closes with vigor and Fu jumps back with surprise. "Damn, don't do that!"

Chronoa giggles, then says, "Well, what did you think? Seeing Cooler and Zamasu team up was a real treat, huh?"

Fu nods, smirking. "Oh, it certainly was! I didn't know Cooler was so much better than Frieza and Cold!" Fu then smirks a little wider, acting like he is thinking hard. "But I don't Bojack is dead just yet. That last interaction was suspicious!"

Chronoa shrugs. "Very well could be." She turns and smiles. "Thanks for reading! This was a really fun chapter for the author to write, and he hopes you enjoyed it as much as he did." Fu gives a short salute with a smirk as Chronoa waves excitedly. "Leave a review if you can, we love reading them! And as always, thank you for reading! See you next time!"
