In addition the massive powerful warriors set to do battle, the Frieza Force troops were still continuing a battle of their own agaist the Z-Fighters.
Sorbet looked on in disbelief, seeing the power of Frieza and Goku Black was breath taking and admirable. "Truly amazing sir, you and your allies have obtained unimaginable power!"
Suddenly he saw a blast coming towards him, that he luckily dodged. He looked to see that it was Seventeen who blasted him, "So close."
"That accursed machine!" Sorbet said, then called out to his men. "Destroy him!"
"I'm not fully machine, dumbass," Seventeen said a he blasted a bunch of the soldiers. The ones that managed to get in close still took some hard strikes from the male Cyborg.
Eighteen flew in with a few viscous kicks to the men, getting some in their arms and legs, rendering a lot of them helpless. "Man these guys are weak."
Sorbet was getting increasingly frustrated, it wasn't just the two Androids that were proving to be a lot for his men, it was also the other Z-Fighters that proved to be a hassle for his soldiers.
"If they don't shape up soon, they're going Lord Frieza and the two Gods," Sorbet turned back to the three leaders, each one ready for a fight with their rivals.
"So, Goku has achieved a brand new form, a different colored Super Saiyan hair, which I shall admit, is fairly impressive," Frieza commented. And his son has achieved a brand new Super Saiyan form of his own. I'm actually impressed there's more than one variation of Super Saiyan, not bad for something that started as a myth."
"If you're intimidated you can leave, you still have that offer," Goku said.
"Don't get overconfident, my form is more than enough for you and your son," Frieza commented.
"And especially Vegeta, I mean, what have you achieved?" Black asked.
"Honestly it probably isn't even worth showing if all I have left to fight is this weak Kai," Vegeta commented.
Zamasu was understandably infuriated, "You watch your tone mortal, I can erase you on the spot."
"I'd like to see you try," Vegeta said, powering up into Super Saiyan 2. "This is all you get, unless you show me you are worth more of my power."
"You blasphemous fool!" Zamasu shouted, flying in with a ki blade attack that Vegeta dodged, giving him an opening for an uppercut.
"This will be too easy!" Vegeta said, flying in to engage with Zamasu.
"Now you, Son Goku," Black said, flying in with his ki blade and attacking the opposing Saiyan, Goku quick to dodged and engage in a clash with his imposter.
Gohan powered up and flew in to punch Frieza, the attack being blocked by the Space Emperor, "Oho, this is quite a bit of power."
Gohan went for a kick that Frieza blocked, and blocked an oncoming punch, the two battling across the skies, each one fighting hard to one up the other.
With most of the men knocked out, the Z-Fighters took a moment to marvel and gaze at the fight above the skies. It was some of the most intense power they felt, or at least partially. Goku and Black didn't give off any ki for them to feel but Gohan and Frieza sure did, this boy has far surpassed any of them.
"Think they'll win?" Tien asked. "Goku, Gohan and Vegeta I mean?"
"Of course they will, those guys won't give up until Frieza and those two so-called Gods are nothing but dust in the wind," Krillin said, feeling confident in his friend and son, and an extent, Vegeta.
"Their battle has begun," Sixteen said, getting their attention. "But ours isn't over yet."
Many more of Frieza's soldiers had arrived surrounded the Z-Fighters, some even flying overhead to cut off any chance they had at escape.
"Well if they want more then let's bring it to them," Yamcha said, getting into his stance. "Gonna totally obliterate these scumbags."
Back in the skies, Gohan continued his intense battle against Frieza, and the space emperor could tell that Gohan seemed to be carrying a chip on his shoulder. "You seem extra determined to defeat me, trying to prove something to that father of yours?"
"More than that!" Gohan said, going for a kick that Frieza blocked, "I'm doing this for The Saiyans!"
"The Saiyans?" Frieza said, going for a punch that Gohan quickly dodged. "This is a first, I didn't think you had any connection to the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta."
"I don't," Gohan said, going for a punch. Frieza blocked it but that didn't stop Gohan from applying more power. "Because of you Frieza, you stole that chance away from me!"
"Hm, didn't realize that bothered you so much!" Frieza said, getting a punch across Gohan's jaw. "How curious, I do wonder where this even came from?"
"Let's just say I had a chance to realize just how bad what you did was," Gohan said. "You're directly responsible for the deaths of my family members, such as my Grandparents."
"I suppose I am, funny your father didn't seem too bothered by it when we fought on Namek," Frieza said. "Even you barely brought it up, of course you didn't realize at first I was the one who destroyed Planet Vegeta, not until it was your daddy's turn to fight."
"Dad's a great guy, but his sense of family hasn't been his strong suit, not to say that he won't be mad if something happened to me or my mother," Gohan said.
"Hm, that reminds me, your mother is from this world," Frieza pointed out. "Perhaps after this is done, I'll pay her a little visit, she'll be so happy-"
Gohan stopped Frieza's threats with a quick punch across his jaw, "What was that you were saying about my mom!?"
"Quite the temper," Frieza said, then kneed Gohan in the stomach and hit him with an uppercut. "You're going to need a time-out."
Elsewhere Goku and Black continued their battle of Blue vs Rosé. Their forms seemed evenly matched for the moment, each fighter impressed with the other.
"This Super Saiyan Rosé form of yours is pretty impressive, how'd you pull it off?" Goku asked.
"Same way you pulled off what you call Super Saiyan Blue, it's the same form, but since I'm a god, my aura turned pink rather than blue, it's a special touch only a deity is blessed to posess," Black explained.
"So since I'm just a 'mere mortal' as you would put it, I can't achieve this form?" Goku asked. "Not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed by that, but if it's basically the same thing then I guess it's no big loss."
"My form might be similar to yours, but only a true God can use it to it's fullest potential," Black said, swinging his ki blade again, which Goku quickly dodged. "And with it, I shall be rid of the scourge of the Universe, that being you mortals, and correct the failure of the Gods!"
Goku grabbed the blade before it slammed down on him and kicked Black in the stomach and punched him across the jaw. "Try not to claim victory before it comes, it'll leave you vulnerable."
"Trying to be wise? I see right through you," Black said, going for a kick, which Goku quickly blocked.
"Hey I'm curious, if you hate mortals, why steal my body?" Goku asked.
"Any mortal who can defeat Majin Buu has power they should not be wielding, that is power that belongs to a God," Black said. "I just simply made things right in the natural order."
"Sounds to me like you were just jealous of what I could do," Goku taunted.
Black became bemused by Goku's statement, "I would suggest choosing your next few words carefully, for they shall be your last."
"Alright, how's this..." Goku began. "I'm going to defeat you for good and go home to a nice meal!"
"Cocky fool, I'll enjoy ridding you of this Universe!" Black said, flying in to attack again.
With Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince had been engaging with Zamasu, but unfortunately for the Kai, he was not a powerful as his two allies.
"Come on, is this all you're capable of?" Vegeta taunted. "I thought Gods were suppose to be all powerful!" Zamasu attempted to attack again with a ki blade but Vegeta had parried and hit an uppercut. "Such a disgrace!"
Zamasu rubbed some blood off his mouth, angrily eyeing the Saiyan, "Insolent mortals, they have no respect for the Gods who give them life, or for the homes the Gods bestow upon them. My master was a fool to think Mortals had any worth in any of the 12 Universes. You Vegeta, are living proof of the failure of mortals!"
"And you're living proof that being a God isn't the same as being all powerful," Vegeta said, blasting Zamasu across the skies.
Black took notice of Zamasu's situation, feeling a bit worried for his counterpart. "Vegeta might be too much for him, better finish off Goku fast, or at least hope Frieza decides to stop toying around with that little brat."
"Hey! Focus on me!" Goku shouted, getting a punch across Black's face.
"What a cheap shot, but I can't blame you for being desperate!" Black said, going for a kick across Goku's face.
Even Frieza seemed to notice Zamasu's struggles, "That pitiful God, can't even take down a monkey."
Gohan managed to get an uppercut to Frieza, following that with a kick to his ribs. "Now I got you!"
Gohan attempted to blast Frieza, unaware of the emperor's tail that wrapped around Gohan's neck and squeezed tightly. "So close." Frieza started punching Gohan in the stomach a few times, and threw in some knees as well.
Goku took note of Gohan's situation, "Gohan!" He immediately began flying over, "I'm coming son!"
"Now who's distracted!?" He heard as Black teleported in front of him and kicked Goku across the face. He charged up some ki and began blasting Goku, "Don't worry too much about your son, neither one of you are gonna be alive after this anyway!?"
Eighteen also took note of Gohan's situation, "Damn, I gotta help him!" Several of Frieza's soldiers tried to block her path, but she just blasted through them. "Bastards! Don't get in my way!"
While still in the middle of his attacks to Gohan, Frieza saw Eighteen flying toward him. "I don't think so."
Frieza tossed Gohan right at Eighteen, confusing her for a moment as the space tyrant used the distraction to fly in and land a punch to her face and then kicked her to the ground.
"Sis!" Seventeen shouted, then flew over to attack Frieza himself. Just before reaching him however, he was knocked out of his flight path when Goku was thrown at him, both fighters knocked off balance as Black flew in and struck both of them with mighty strikes.
"I suggest we quickly help our ally," Black said, gesturing to Zamasu, who was struggling in his fight against Vegeta.
"If we must," Frieza said, flying over with Black.
While Vegeta was brawling against Zamasu, he quickly felt Frieza's presence, but unfortunately couldn't stop the space tyrant's punch across his jaw, and was helpless as Black appeared behind him to knee his back. The two then did a windmill kick to knock Vegeta to the ground below, finally creating a distance between him and Zamasu.
"Are you hurt?" Black asked his alternate timeline counterpart.
"It's nothing I can't handle," Zamasu said. "What I lack in power, I at least make up in endurance."
"Yes, that you do," Black said, then turned to the soldiers. "I'm a little disappointed in your men Frieza, they seem to be losing against those other mortals."
"I expected the Namekian to give them trouble, he is one of their strongest fighters," Frieza said. "But to see that these other Earthlings, especially the little bald one are putting up more of a fight than I expected really blows my expectations."
"These mortals really are getting more powerful by the second, what were the Gods thinking giving them such power?" Black wondered.
"I agree with you, only a select few like myself should have that privileges," Frieza said.
Black furrowed his brow at Frieza's directions, "Don't get carried away, your power doesn't exactly put me at ease."
"If you really take issue with my amazing power, we can always settle it the way we've always wanted to," Frieza said. "After we defeat our enemies, we can see which one of us deserves to rule."
"The I suggest we get a move on," Black said. "The sooner I wipe out Goku, the sooner I can start on Project Zero Mortals."
"Not gonna happen!" they heard. The villains looked to the skies to see Trunks. "I'm taking you three down for good!"
"This is a surprise," Zamasu said. "How did you know we would be here? Though you are from the future, perhaps you had help?"
"I got a tip from the Gods that you would be attacking this Earth's timeline, and since two of you are from my timeline, and I need to make sure Frieza stays dead, I took it upon myself to come here and bring you down!" Trunks pulled out his sword. "I didn't come alone either!"
Down below, as the Z-Fighters continued battling Frieza's soldiers, a few of them took some blasts, knocking them away. The Z-Fighters turned to see that Zangya had arrived.
"That's the chick who came to Earth with those pirates two years ago," Yamcha said. "What's she doing here?"
"Don't get the wrong idea," Zangya said, kicking away a solider. "I didn't come here because I was worried about you, I came here to settle a debt." Zangya punched another solider. "I don't want Gohan thinking I owed him anything after he spared me two years ago, when I went to get help for you, I was told that if I helped as well, then I owed Gohan nothing and I could potentially earn my own Freedom."
"Wait, get help?" Krillin asked. Zangya pointed up to where Trunks was, bringing hope to the Z-Fighters.
"Sweet! Trunks came to help!" Yamcha happily shouted.
More of Frieza's men started to arrive, charging right at the Z-Fighters, hoping to succeed where their allies failed.
"Celebrate later," Zangya said, blasting a few of the soldiers. "Let's finish off the rest of these maggots!"
"I got an idea, stand aside," Piccolo said, charging up an attack. "Light Grenade!" Within moments, the area was consumed by a large ki blast, completely overwhelming the Freiza Force members in it's path, taking a huge chunk of them out of the fight, and leaving the rest baffled by Piccolo's power.
"Great work Piccolo!" Krillin said, getting back into a stance. "Just a few left, let's kick some ass!"
As the Z-Fighhters and Zangya continued to battle the soldiers, Trunks flew in to attack the trio of villains up above. He started with Frieza, swiping his sword at the space tyrant. However his sword was immediately whacked away and Frieza delivered a strong punch to his stomach.
Black then flew in with a kick to Trunks's back, allowing Zamasu a chance to kick the boy across the face. The trio then came together and sent a trio of ki blasts, knocking Trunks out of the sky.
"What a foolish boy," Frieza said. "Guess he isn't all that impressive without that little toy of his, such a shame."
"Not surprising, the only reason he's still alive is either dumb luck or by my own mercy," Black said.
"You? Showing mercy to a mortal?" Frieza asked, almost rhetorical.
"What can I say, sometimes I like having a mortal to spar with, helps hone my skills," Black said. "Of course Trunks is useless, I have no hesitant of killing him now."
"Then lets, quite frankly his presence is starting to irritate me," Zamasu said.
"I don't think so!" Goku shouted, flying in to kick Zamasu away, then punched Black out of the way, trying to get to Frieza.
"Eager to die, aren't you Saiyan!?" Frieza said, kicking Goku away, preparing his Death Beam. However Gohan had flown in and kicked Frieza in the face, protecting his father.
"Now to finish you!" Gohan said, charging a ki blast.
"Not so fast!" Black flew over and elbowed Gohan in the face, then delivered a punch to the boy, and a punch to an oncoming Goku.
"These mortals are quite bothersome," Zamasu said, getting ready to strike them down himself when he took a kick from Vegeta, knocking him out the way as the Saiyan Prince focused on Frieza and Black.
"I will end you both!" Vegeta said, powering up some more, this time a blue aura surrounding him, reaching the level beyond a Super Saiyan God. "Kakarot's not the only one who mastered this form."
"So you too have reached the level of God, how interesting," Black said.
"Amazing, all that boasting back on Namek on how you're a Super Saiyan, at least now you can finally back it up," Frieza taunted.
"I can do more than that, I've gone even further beyond Super Saiyan," Vegeta boasted,
"Yet still you'll soon fall to me, just like your father," Frieza said.
"My father was never a Super Saiyan, let alone a Super Saiyan God!" Vegeta shouted, flying in to attack with a punch, Frieza blocking the blow, though it did require a bit of effort to do so.
"Such incredible power!" Frieza said, knocking Vegeta away with a kick. "Perhaps you'll put up more of a fight this time."
"I'll do more than that!" Vegeta shouted, blasting Frieza in the face, knocking the tyrant back. "I'll destroy you completely!"
"All talk as usual!" Frieza shouted, punching Vegeta aside. "You should have stayed dead, because now I'll make sure your death is ten times worse than last time!"
Vegeta recovered, ready to attack again when Black flew past Frieza and hit Vegeta with an uppercut, "Did you forget about me Prince?"
Vegeta recovered and kicked Black hard in the torso and again to the head. Frieza tried attacking but Vegeta parried and elbowed the space tyrant in the face. While both villains were recovering, Goku and Gohan sped in and kicked them both aside and sent a blast right at an oncoming Zamasu, knocking him further away.
Black and Frieza had attempted to regain their composure, but just as they were about to charge at the trio of Super Saiyans, they both took a kick to the back from Seventeen and Eighteen respectively.
"We're not done with the two of you," Seventeen said, going in to attack again. Black stopped Seventeen's charge with a punch to his stomach and a kick under his chin. Eighteen tried attacking but she took a kick to her head and a Death Beam through her shoulder.
"Foolish machines, mortals like you serve no more purpose than mere tools!" Black blasted Seventeen in the face.
"Cybernetics only hold a fighter back!" Frieza shouted, blasting Eighteen in the torso.
"Hey! Get away from them!" Gohan shouted, flying at the two. Just before he could attack, Black beat him to the punch with a blow to his stomach, allowing Frieza to knee Gohan in the face and the two sending a dual blast right at the boy.
Goku then teleported over the two, charging his Kamehameha. "Take this!" He blasted both villains to the ground, creating a large quake in the area. While it seemed like they could be done, neither one stayed down for long, the two standing out of the crater and dusting themselves off.
"They're stronger than I expected," Black said, creaking his neck of it's stiffness. "As expcted, they knew we were out there after all."
"I'm quite amazed by their power, even Vegeta's proving to be a bit more trouble than last time," Frieza said. "I don't want to sound like I've given up hope, but I do hope you thought of a back-up plan. Mine was my army but they're not fairing too well."
"I have one, I hoped to use it at a later time when I solidified myself as the one true God, but perhaps it would be interesting to use this power now," Black said.
"Die!" Trunks shouted, flying in with his sword. Frieza however blocked the strike, shattering Trunks's sword and then punched the boy away.
"What a loud mouth boy, came all the way from the future to die," Frieza said. "Every bit the fool his father is."
Nearby the Z-Fighters had finished up their own fights, Piccolo having knocked out the last member of Frieza's army, "That should be all of them."
"What a bunch of wusses," Videl said, standing triumphantly over a pile of them. "They were no match for Earth's strongest girl."
"Wouldn't that technically be Android 18?" Yamcha asked.
"Ugh, fine, the strongest girl that isn't cybernetic," Videl said. "I'm still pretty strong, probably stronger than any other Earthing, including you."
"Hey don't get cocky kid, just because Goku taught you a few things doesn't mean you're better than us," Yamcha said.
"Are you seriously arguing with a little girl?" Piccolo said. "Or trying to argue?"
"Yeah, let's focus on the big picture," Tien said. "We still have to contend with Frieza and those Gods."
"We should just leave that to Goku, Vegeta and Gohan," Krillin said. "If we try to fight, we'll just get in the way."
"Not if we all team up," Videl said. "We already outnumber, and with our power I think we can take on that so-called Space Emperor and his divine buddies."
"Don't get over confident Videl, numbers mean nothing and our combined power isn't exactly something to write home about," Piccolo said.
"He's right kid, you're better off letting Goku and the others handle those two," Zangya said. "We should stay to the sides and out of harm's way."
"Aw, but that sounds boring," Videl complained. "What's the point of training if I can barely show it off, I mean beating up a bunch of henchmen isn't really that noteworthy when I can take down their boss."
Unknown to them right now, Sorbet had snuck toward the group, aiming a laser gun, ready to take one of the Z-Fighters down.
"Videl, I understand your desire to fight," Tien interjected. "But knowing when not to fight is part of being a martial artist. You're still growing as a fighter, you don't need to rush in to prove anything yet."
"It's always important to know when you're in over your head," Krillin added.
Videl still seemed a bit let down, "I just don't want to stand aside like a coward, I want to actually do something."
Sorbet charged up his laser gun, first pointing at Piccolo, his scouter stating the Namekian to be one of the strongest in the group.
"I know it's not easy to just do nothing, but if you went out there at a power disadvantage, you'll just be targeted and it'll make Goku and the others worry more about your safety than their fight," Piccolo said. "Now let's just move out the way and-"
"Watch out!" Zangya warned, but it was too late as Sorbet fired his laser. Piccolo had tried to dodge but he took a blast through his shoulder, this getting Gohan's attention.
"Damn, I missed his vitals," Sorbet said.
"No! Piccolo!" Gohan shouted as everyone rushed to help Piccolo. He spotted Sorbet hiding behind some rubble and charged up an attack. "You sneaky rat!"
As Gohan was about to fire, Zamasu rushed in with his ki blade, "I got you now!"
Zamasu swiped down, cutting Gohan in the back, but that only annoyed the boy as he turned to face the God, "That's not enough!" Gohan then blasted Zamasu in the face, knocking the God away.
This did leave Gohan open long enough for Black to kick Gohan in the head, knocking him to the ground. Goku rushed to punch Black, clashing with the villain as Vegeta went after Frieza.
While the Z-Fighters were checking on Piccolo, Videl turned her attention to where Sorbet was. "Oh he's going down hard!"
Sorbet knew Videl was on to him, so he came out of his hiding spot and aimed at Videl, "I'll just take you down then!" He fired his gun at her but she was quick to dodge each attack and arrived in front of the Commander, kicking the laser gun out of his hand.
"Oh boy," Sorbet said, taking a step back, away from the girl. She had a look in her eyes that worried him. "Easy now, let's not get carried away here. Maybe I can offer you something, you seem like a strong kid, why not join Frieza's army, I mean a young Earthling could be wht we need to-"
Videl punchd Sorbet across the jaw and then continued with a combination of one-two jabs, knocking some screws loose from Sorbet. She then jumped back and flew in with a massive strike, "Eagle Kick!"
That kick was strong enough to knock Sorbet back to a wall, knocking out the Frieza Force commander. This display of ability did seem to impress the Z-Fighters.
"Great technique kid," Yamcha praised. "Way to show that guy who's boss."
"Thanks," Videl said, flashing a peace sign. Though her confidence turned to worry when she saw Piccolo nursing his injury. "Hey is he gonna be alright?"
"I'm fine, nothing I can't come back from," Piccolo said, then turned to Zangya. "I appreciate the heads up, I may have gotten hit but it could have been worse if I didn't see it coming at all."
"Hey I'm just keeping you alive for my own safety, someone's gotta fend off Frieza and Black if they decide to come this way," Zangya said.
Gohan pulled himself back onto his feet after the sneak attack from Black, and noticed that Piccolo seemed to be alright, much to his relief. He also took note that the guy who shot Piccolo was beaten up, from the looks of things, Videl did it, which impressed Gohan. While he wanted to check on his old master, he knew he had to help finish off the villains first.
Black had knocked away Vegeta with a kick before taking note of the soldiers down below, seeing them all down and injured. "That's curious." He flew over to Goku and Frieza's fight, kicking the Saiyan away to get Frieza's attention. "Your soldiers don't seem to be up for fighting."
"Pardon me?" Frieza said, looking down upon his soliders. "Oh dear me, that's quite unfortunate."
"You guys really need to pay more attention in a fight!" Goku called out, both villains looking his direction.
"He's quite impatient," Black said.
"No doubt, typical Saiyan, always so battle hungry, very little manners," Frieza said, then called out to his opponent. "I have some business to attend to Goku! You're going to have to endure a pause!"
"Fine, you could tend to whatever it is you want but my look-a-like can still go!" Goku said.
Frieza turned to Black, "Entertain him for a moment, I need to fix my solider problem."
"If you must," Black said, flying in to attack Goku.
Frieza flew over his soldiers, getting the attention of Piccolo and the other Z-Fighters, all of them curious by Frieza's sudden appearance.
"Heads up, Frieza looks pretty mad," Yamcha pointed out.
"Of course, we pretty much beat up his entire army," Videl said.
Frieza glanced down briefly at the Z-Fighters, then turned his attention to his fallen men, each one struggling to stand.
"We should move," Sixteen said, getting everyone's attention. "Quickly, before we're all in danger."
"Uh, if you say so," Yamcha said. "Yo Tien, help me with Piccolo."
"I'll manage on my own," Piccolo said, his wound finally healing. "Just needed a moment."
The -Fighters flew away from the area, staying above ground, Frieza having not really noticed or cared, instead just focusing on his fallen men.
"Lord Frieza!" One shouted in agony. "Please, forgive us!"
"We beg you mercy! Give us another chance and we can make you proud!" another solider pleaded.
"Such a waste, now they're begging for their lives. Looks like I'll have to rebuild my army," Frieza said, aiming his palm. "You are all relieved of duty!"
"What's he talking about?" Tien asked.
In moments, Frieza began firing down ki blasts at his men, covering the entire ground area in explosions, ones that completely consumed and annihilated his men.
"Lord Friezaaaaaa!" one solider shouted among the destruction.
"Is he killing his own guys!?" Videl asked in shock. "Why would he do that!?"
"My guess is that he didn't care much for their failure, and now they're paying with their lives," Piccolo said. "Frieza really is a heartless demon."
Goku had also noticed from where he was, seeming somewhat horrified by Frieza's actions. "What's he doing!? Those are his men!"
"Now who's distracted!" Black shouted, getting a punch in on Goku. "Keep your eyes on the fight, or you'll end up like those filthy mortals."
"You guys are pretty rotten to do this to your own men!" Goku flew in to attack but Black got an elbow into his gut and then karate chopped Goku to the ground below.
"Technically not my men," Black said, then noticed a couple of soldiers crawling away from the destruction. "But perhaps I'll take this moment to assert my own authority."
"Th-this is terrible!" one solider said. "Lord Frieza destroyed all of them!"
"I knew this could happen, the moment everyone failed, Lord Frieza doesn't tolerate failure!" the other said.
"What should we do?" the first one asked.
"I'll tell you what, we hide and see how this battle plays out," the second said. "Then when this is all over-"
Suddenly a pink ki blade went straight through his chest, the solider turning to see that he got attacked by Black. "I believe your boss relieved you of your duty, and your lives."
Black lifted his blade out of the solider, leaving his lifeless body falling to the floor as he aimed two finger tips at the other.
"No..." the solider said, backing off. "Please, have mercy!" The solider tried flying away but Black fired a small ki blast that entered his body and then caused an explosion, consuming the solider in the blast.
"Your death is my mercy," Black said, sinisterly grinning.
"Black!" Trunks shouted, flying in with a kick, which the God blocked.
"You're really terrible at sneak attacks Trunks," Black berated. "Next time you should-"
Suddenly Vegeta appeared beside Black, getting a punch across his jaw, "How's that for a sneak attack!"
As Black struggled to regain his composure, both Trunks and Vegeta fired their Burning Attack and Big Bang Attack respectively, both blasts hitting Black square, causing a big explosion in his area.
"No! My counterpart!" Zamasu shouted, flying to help but finding himself blocked off by The Androids.
"You're not going anywhere!" Seventeen shouted, punching Zamasu across the face.
"You foolish, pathetic excuse for a God!" Eighteen shouted, hitting an uppercut. The two flew over and kicked Black down, and held their palms out, raining down ki blasts.
Frieza continued to fend off Goku and Gohan when he noticed Zamasu's situation. Quickly kicking Gohan into Goku, he aimed his finger and fired a bunch of Death Beams at the Androids, trying to pierce them as they quickly dodged out the way.
Gohan took advantage and kicked Frieza in the back, the space Tyrant elbowing Gohan in the face but took a punch from Goku, knocking him back.
"You're getting slower Frieza, don't tell me you're already tired!" Goku berated.
"Of course not, I've still got much fight left within me!" Frieza shouted, powering up. He flew in to attack some more but Goku ducked and punched Frieza hard in the gut and then elbowed him down.
Frieza turned and tried to attack again but Gohan flew in with a double punch to his back, giving Goku an opening for a double kick to Frieza's head.
Gohan and Goku zipped around, landing blow after blow to Frieza, knocking him around, leaving the alien fighter bruised and bloody.
Gohan and Goku the powered up next to each other, each of them charging a Kamehameha.
"It's over Frieza!" Goku shouted, firing his attack.
"You lose!" Gohan shouted, following suit.
Frieza took the brunt of the two blasts, getting blasted to the ground, creating a huge explosion where he landed.
Black took note of his ally's defeat, shaking his head in shame, "Powerful as he may be, he's only a mortal." Trunks appeared beside Black, looking ready for a fight.
"You're next!" Trunks flew in to attack, Black blocking the strike.
Meanwhile Zamasu tried getting up but the Androids appeaered once again before him, preventing the God from moving. "Accursed machines! You are nothing before my divine-"
Eighteen blasted him through the chest, knocking him back. "Man you talk way too much, really damn annoying."
"All talk and he can barely back it up," Seventeen said.
Black could feel his ally in danger, and unlike Frieza he had a little more concern for Zamasu. He quickly sent out a ki blast to distract Vegeta and Trunks as he used Instant Transmission to find Zamasu.
Upon arrival he kicked away Eighteen and elbowed Seventeen across the jaw, taking the moment to check on his ally. "Zamasu, what is your condition?"
"I will be fine, however these mortals are proving to be quite frustrating," Zamasu said. "To think they could cause so much of a burden."
"Then you know what we must do," Black said.
"Yes, indeed," Zamasu replied, taking off his Potara Earring and moving it to his right ear.
When the Androids recovered, they noticed that Black and Zamasu were being pulled towards each other, a bright light flashing during the process.
"What's going on?" Seventeen asked.
"Beats me," Eighteen said, just as confused as her brother.
The bright flash of light caught everyone's attention, from Frieza, to Sorbet and to the Z-Fighters, all of them curious as to what was happening. When the light disippaited, a new figure emerged from the light. "Behold my form, the symbol of Justice, and The World."
"What's happening over there?" Videl asked.
"I don't know," Piccolo said, clenching his fist. "But I have a bad feeling about it."
"Worship me...Praise me...Revere me..." The two once known as Black and Zamasu had completed their fusion, appearing as one solitary being. "The Almighty, the Divine, The only worthy God of the 12 Universes. Hail to Zamasu!"
"Will you just shut the fuck up with your Divinety crap!" Eighteen shouted, firing her ki blasts at the now Merged Zamasu.
"This guy's gotta die already!" Seventeen shouted, helping with the ki blasts.
"Fools, do you honestly believe you hold a candle to my power now?" Merged Zamasu said, floating into the sky. "Blades of Judgement!" Suddenly a bunch of swords came raining from the sky, the two androids quicky guarding themselves. "You fools are no match for me now!"
Goku looked on in shock, seeing this brand new being, "Did they just fuse?" Goku tried thinking, he knows he saw this before.
Gohan remembers though, he remembers being told about this, he knows what they did. Black and Zamasu used the earrings, just like how his father and Vegeta became Vegito and how Kale and Caulifla became Kefla. Now the two Gods were much stronger than before.
The Z-Fighters also looked just as confused, not sure how the two beings came together. Yamcha was the first to vocalize everyone's confusion, "So what exactly is that?"
"I think those two guys fused with the Earrings," Videl said, getting everyone's attention.
"The earrings?" Yamcha asked.
"Back when I was on The Prison Planet, I saw those Earrings get used by Goku and Vegeta to merge into one person, same with two other Saiyans from a future timeline," Videl said.
"I remember," Sixteen said, getting their attention. "Their power multiplies exponentially, the new being has a power that may far exceed what Goku and our other allies may possess."
"So we're screwed is what you're saying," Yamcha said.
"Hey I'm not ready to call it quits yet!" Videl said, slamming her fists together. "If that God wants a fight, I'll bring him a freaken fight!"
"We may all have to help in some way," Piccolo said. "I don't know how successful we'll be, but from the looks of things, regardless of what we do, none of us may come out of this alive. I'd rather die fighting my hardest than die like a coward."
"Same here, even if we fall, we'll still have our honor," Tien said.
"It's a risk we must take," Sixteen said.
"Alright, everyone move out!" All the Z-Fighters save for Zangya flew in the direction of Zamasu.
"I didn't sign up for this, I already helped them by fighting the army, I'm not getting killed out there," Zangya flew back, keeping out of distance from the battle.
Merged Zamasu continued his assault against the Androids, attacking them with quick blows, knocking them around like punching bags. "Come now, is this all you have?"
Piccolo flew over, charging up his signature attack, "Special Beam Cannon!"
The attack pierced through Zamasu, but the God didn't seem that phased by it. "Fool." Zamasu blasted Piccolo from the sky, right around the time Krillin flew over, ready to attack.
"Destructo Disc!" Krillin tossed his razor ki blade at Zamasu but the attack was destroyed before it hit. "Dammit!" He quickly cupped his hands together, "Kamehame-"
Merged Zamasu flew in and punched Krillin hard in the stomach and then elbowed him to the ground.
Chiaotzu flew over, attempting to use his psychokinesis on Merged Zamasu, but the God powered through it effortlessly and kicked the smaller fighter away. Tien flew over head, "Tri Beam!"
Tien sent down his blast, knocking Zamasu back a little, but in time he powered through and flew at Tien with a ki blade, the former Crane student barely dodging. This is when Yamcha flew in with a kick to Zamasu's face, Videl doing the same from the other side, only with a kick to his torso.
"Such insignificance!" Black shouted, attacking each fighter with a strong punch, knocking them from the sky.
Sixteen flew over, intending to attack but was whacked out of the air like a fly being swatted. Trunks tried helping again, flying in at full strength to deliver a kick to Zamasu's abdomen.
"You're finished Zamasu!" Trunks shouted, however the merged God had grabbed his ankle, crushing it in his grip.
"Not quite," Zamasu said, bringing Trunks in for a punch to his stomach and tossed the boy away. He aimed another attack at Trunks, but fortunately Vegeta arrived in time to kick elbow the God back as the Prince charged up an attack, "Galick Gun!"
Merged Zamasu blocked the attack and sent a blast of his own, knocking Vegeta back. He flew in to attack some more but Goku arrived via Instant Transmission, kicking Zamasu away.
"More sacreligious behavior!" Merged Zamasu shouted, flying over to kick Goku away. He then fired a bunch of ki blasts, each one hitting Goku as he went toward the ground. Krillin and Yamcha reappeared beside Zamasu, the two firing a Kamehameha, but even the combined attack did very little to the Fusion God. "When will you mortals realize you are no match for me!"
Zamasu turned to them, once again using his Blades of Judgement, the attack cutting the two Turtle School Students, despite their efforts to guard themselves.
"Eagle Kick!" Videl kicked Zamasu as hard as she could but it just agitated the God, who kicked her stomach and punched her hard enough to send her crashing to the ground with a shake.
"Videl!" Gohan shouted in worry, then flew in to attack Zamasu. "You're no God! You're a brute!"
"Watch your tongue you knave!" Merged Zamasu shouted, punching Gohan across the jaw as he got in close. "Mortals like you only fuel my desire of ridding the Twelve Universes of your kind!"
"Aren't you being harsh?" Gohan asked. "I know mortals are flawed beings and some of them are really bad, but destroying all mortals seems like an overreaction. Why not give them a chance to change and better themselves?"
"One of the benefits of being a Supreme Kai is the ability to travel to the Future, my Master showed me the state of a race one thousand years from now, and they were just as savage then as they are now," Zamasu explained. "It's like that for all mortals, no matter how much time you give them, there shall always be violence among them, unable to take elegant care of the planet of which they dwell."
"But what about the mortals that try to live normal lives? The ones who do care about others and their world?" Gohan asked. "Why do you think we're fighting!? We're trying to protect the planet and the people on the planet."
"You believe that these mortals are even worth saving?" Zamasu asked. "So naïve. Even if there are mortals who live normally, there are the others who would cause trouble. If I don't destroy them, then surely they will destroy each other. I do not fault you for your situation, rather I fault the Gods for creating you. You cause each other suffering, so I am merely ending the misery of all you mortals. Think of it this way, my actions act as both a punishment for the sinners and a mercy for the others, this way they no longer have to suffer. I just wish you mortals could understand that this is all for your Benefit!"
"You know I could probably take what you say more seriously if you weren't acting like the mortals you claim to despise!" Gohan shouted. "Not to mention you aligned with Frieza, who represents everything you hate about mortals!"
"My alliance with him was always temporary, I planned to eradicate him once I was done with this world before eventually returning to my own timeline and starting my plan there," Zamasu explained. "Thinking about it, going to each timeline and eradicating all life seems like a fine expansion to my Zero Mortals Project, especially once I meet up with each Zamasu from those timelines."
"Good luck, I know for a fact that at least two of those Zamasus are dead and a third one won't succumb to this evil," Gohan said.
"What's that? Dead you say? And one brainwashed? Have you mortals no shame!?" Zamasu shouted. "I shall avenge those who have fallen and free the one you've tricked! But first, I shall bring an end to your miserable existence!"
Zamasu punched Gohan across the jaw, but Gohan retaliated with a punch to his stomach and a knee under his chin. Zamasu went for more strikes that Gohan blocked and parried, Gohan attempting to one up the God.
Within moments both of them were clashing in the sky, sending out shockwaves with each blow until Zamasu got the upperhand with a knee to Gohan's stomach and an elbow across his face. Zamasu finished the combo by forming a ki blade and cutting Gohan across the chest, an attack that stung pretty badly for the boy.
Before Zamasu could continue, Goku and Vegeta flew in with a kick to his face, both of them moving in for a combined clash. Zamasu parried them both away, punching Goku in the jaw and elbowing Vegeta.
Piccolo flew in with a flying kick to Zamasu's gut, Tien and Yamcha flying with with kicks to his back and Krillin getting in a punch to his face. The four then grouped together and fired powerful ki blasts at at the God, pushing him back a bit.
"Damn mortals, why won't you just stand down!" Zamasu shouted, knocking the blasts away, and then blasting them down himself. Seventeen and Eighteen flew in to attack as well, each one reving up a punch but were blocked by Zamasu, the God grabbing both their fists a he slammed their heads together and knocked them to the ground as well.
When he thought he had them all, Sixteen had appeared behind him, reading his Ultimate Attack, "HELL FLASH!"
Zamasu took the brunt of that attack, feeling almost overwhelmed by the heat. Powering through, he managed to escape the fire and punch Sixteen hard in the process, knocking him down below.
"I've had it with you irritating mortals!" Merged Zamasu shouted, readying another attack. He began to charge up a massive Ki blast, "Face the Holy Wrath of a God!"
The Fused God sent down his massive ball of energy, hoping to use it to wipe out the Z-Fighters for good. Goku wasn't going gibe up that easily however, and started readying a defense against this massive attack.
"Kamehame...HA!" Goku sent his beam at the giant ki ball, trying to push it back to the God.
"Final Flash!" Vegeta shouted, sending his own signature attack right at Merged Zamasu, assisting Goku in potentially overwhelming their common enemy.
Soon the other Z-Fighters came in to assist, all of them firing different blasts, with Yamcha, Krillin and Videl firing a Kamehameha, Gohan and Trunks doing a Masenko, Piccolo doing his Light Grenade, Tien doing his Tribeam, and The Three Androids along with Chaiotzu doing a random ki beam.
"Try all you wish mortals! You shall not surpass my power! Now die!" Merged Zamasu shouted, putting more power into his attack.
"Push harder!" Goku ordered, putting more energy into his attack.
"Don't order me around Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted, pushing harder anyway.
"We got this, don't give up!" Krillin encouraged.
The heroes pushed harder against Merged Zamasu, the God slowly starting to lose his grip. "No! I cannot lose! I shall not lose! Not to you lowly mortals! You will fall before my Sublime Magnificence!"
"The sooner we destroy this guy the better, I'm tired of hearing his stupid voice!" Seventeen shouted.
"Aren't we all?" Gohan said, putting in more effort. "Just a little more! We can do this!"
During the struggle, Merged Zamasu did everything in his power to maintain his grip, but one blast from a mysterious enemy knocked him off balance. "NO!"
"Did someone just attack him?" Yamcha asked.
Gohan noticed their helper from the corner of his eyes, "It was Zangya!"
Indeed it was, Zangya was nearby, firing more ki blasts at Zamasu, "I can't believe I'm doing this!"
Zangya continued her attack, distracting a now very angry Zamasu, who's eyes were locked solely on her. "You fool, your suffering will be long and painful!"
However during this distraction, the heroes gave one final push and managed to knock the energy ball into Zamasu, the combination of his ki energy and the beams causing a massive explosion in the air, the winds scattering and nearly knocking everyone away. Gohan held onto Videl, preventing her from flying off while everyone held their ground, Chiaotzu getting assistance from Tien.
"Did we get him?" Seventeen asked. "Can anyone sense his energy?"
"Would they even be able to? He's a God after all," Eighteen reminded.
Goku angrily gritted his teeth, "I can still sense him, but he's weaker. If we keep this up, we'll win."
"DAMN MORTALS!" Zamasu shouted from the skies, clearing away the skies. "Lightning of Absolution!"
Within seconds lightning rained down from the skies, one striking Piccolo, the Namekian roaring in pain as he collapsed on the ground.
"NO! PICCOLO!" Gohan shouted, a lightning strike nearly getting him, if not for Videl quickly moving him out the way.
"You have to be be careful!" Videl urged.
"Die!" Zamasu sent a blast down at Gohan, the boy quickly using Instant Transmission to bring himself and Videl to safety.
"Wow he's mad," Videl commented.
"Of course, he hates mortals, and the fact that mortals are outsmarting him is infurtiating for a God like that," Gohan said.
Zangya quickly hit behind some rocks, keeping a close eye out for Zamasu, "I knew this was a bad idea!"
"Have more Lightning!" Merged Zamasu shouted, sending down more strikes. Gohan flew to attack, using Instant Transmission again to land a punch on the God, but took a strike to his gut for his effort. "Face my Absolution!"
Another Lightning Strike took place, this time hitting Gohan, sending the boy crashing down hard.
"Gohan!" Goku shouted in worry, seeing his son on the ground, writing in pain, struggling to maintain his Super Saiyan 4 form. Goku turned angrily to Zamasu and began to fly around, dodging all the strikes, getting in close to Zamasu.
"You wish to die Mortal!?" Zamasu shouted, sending more attacks his way. Goku zipped around him, infuriating the God more and more as he rained down lightning. Once Goku appeared overhead, the Saiyan readied a mighty blow. "Meet your end Fooll!"
Zamasu struck down at Goku, but the Saiyan teleported away in the last second, Zamasu getting the full brunt of his own lightning strike. The God writhed in pain and shock, allowing Goku an opening for a massive punch and a Super Kamehameha, sending the God crashing down below.
"Did he get him?" Yamcha wondered.
"I hope so," Krillin said, still checking on the wounded Piccolo.
Vegeta angrily stormed over, "If he's not dead, I'll just finish him off myself."
Immediately rising from the ground came the fused God once again, half his body deformed from both the Lightning Strike and Goku's Kamehameha, his body much weakened from enduring all of that. "You mortals..."
"Ugh, that's so gross," Videl said, gagging a bit.
"Yeah seriously, what's up with his face!?" Yamcha said, finding it hard to look at.
"Mortals like you, should have never existed," Zamasu said stepping forward. "All your actions today have proven my beliefs, that mortals must be purged from existence! All to make a better Universe, a God's true dream!"
"Not like you'll be rid of them all!" Gohan said, pulling himself out of the crater. His clothes were torn up and his form was gone, but he still stood tall. "Remember, you're fused with a mortal body, even if you weren't fused, would you really be alright with knowing that the Saiyan Goku will always exist in some form?"
"Foolish child, I am fully aware of that," Zamasu said. "After all, it is a God's duty to bear the Sins of others, it is a sacrifice I am willing to make."
"That sounds like a load of crap honestly," Videl commented.
"Everything I do, I do for what I love," Zamasu said, holding his arms out. "For the sake of the Universes, my Benevolence will lead to a brighter future."
"He's being really weird right now!" Videl said.
Zamasu glared at the girl, "You have quite the mouth, I shall dispose of you next!" As Zamasu rushed at Videl, both Seventeen and Eighteen rushed in to attack, hitting the monster God with synchronized strikes and eventually knocking him back with a mighty kick.
"Ready sis?" Seventeen said.
"You know it!" Eighteen replied.
The two rushed in again, nailing Zamasu with a massive punch to his stomach and a double kick to his face and a super uppercut. The God was weary but he still had some fight left in him, but before he could attack again, Gohan rushed in, in his Super Saiyan 2 form and rammed Zamasu hard, with both Androids following suit, each one delivering blow after blow to the God.
One more triple punch knocked the God toward the side of a cliff as Gohan went into the air with his friends. The three cupped their hands, readying one last attack. "Ka...Me...Ha...Me..!" With a mighty yell, they unleashed their triple ki blast. "HA!"
Zamasu stood and tried blocking the attack, holding out one hand, believing that to be enough. Once the attack hit, he struggled to push it back, so he applied both his hands, but still struggled, unable to deflect or parry.
"I...will not...lose!" Zamasu struggled to push away the beam, bringing every ounce of strength he had within him. However during this, Trunks had appeared nearby, ready to assist in his own way.
"Burning Attack" Trunks sent out his blast, hitting Zamasu and stunning him long enough for the triple Kamehameha to fully overtake him, destroying his body and leaving nothing behind.
Gohan let up after a while, the Androids following suit, able to tell that Zamasu had been completely defeated. There was nothing left, he was done.
"Finally," Seventeen said, wiping the sweat off his head. "Took forever. I'm beat."
"Seventeen, we don't run out of energy," Eighteen said.
"Doesn't mean I can't get tired of doing something," Seventeen said. "At least he's dead now."
"Somehow I wonder, something tells me Zamasu's not done yet," Gohan said.
"He's gotta be, there's no more Zamasu!" Seventeen said, gesturing to the spot. "Look, he's dead!"
"Mortals..." Zamasu's voice rang out, much to the annoyance of everyone present, especially Seventeen.
"How the hell?" Seventeen wondered as an aura of Zamasu appeared overhead.
"I am immortal, I cannot be killed, even without my body, my very being shall always exist," Zamasu said. "Witness as I bring your Universe to it's knees, and I-"
"Evil Containment!" Tien shouted, using the very technique that sealed away Zamasu years ago, the technique he intended to use against Demon King Picccolo nearly two decades prior.
"NO! IMPOSSIBLE!" Zamasu shouted, his essence being contained in a vortex.
"We all planned for this, we just needed the right moment!" Tien shouted, then turned to his most trusted ally. "Chiaotzu, the jar!"
"Coming Tien!" Chiaotzu said, placing the demon sealing jar on the floor as Tien maneuvered the God toward the jar, intent on sealing him away.
"Fools! I'll be back! I swear it!" Zamasu shouted as he went into the jar. "Your end will come!"
Within seconds Zamasu was sealed away again, Chiatozu quickly shutting the jar. He picked it up and gave it to Tien.
"Thanks pal," Tien said, putting the jaw away. "This time we'll deal with it properly."
"Wow, nice work with the Evil Containment Wave," Goku said, powering down. "I almost forgot you could do it too."
"That's a cool technique, think I can learn it?" Videl asked.
"I don't see why not, but you'll have to build up your strength," Tien said. "This attack is dangerous and can kill you if you're not prepared."
"That's how Master Mutaito died," Goku said. "At least he went out saving people from King Piccolo."
"My dad told me about him, but he said the guy was a phony or something," Videl said. "Something about cheap tricks."
"Your dad's a moron then," Vegeta said, making his way over, powering out as well. "Cheap tricks, I'd like to see him try any of our techniques and not wet himself."
Zangya peeked her head out, taking note of the situation, "Oh good, they killed him, at least I know I'll make it out of this alive."
Gohan made his way over to Piccolo, who was still being tended to by Krillin. "Mr. Piccolo? how are you feeling?"
"Like hell, but I'll be fine," Piccolo said, trying to stand up. "Damn God, got a lucky strike, that's all. You did well out there Gohan, you and your cyber friends."
"We make a great team," Gohan said, looking to the twins. "Great work you two."
"Hey I'm just glad this is over," Eighteen said.
"Wait, we're not forgetting anything are we?" Seventeen asked. "What about Frieza? Did we finish him off?"
"I think so," Gohan said, then turned to Goku. "Hey dad, you finished off Fri-"
Suddenly a Death Beam pierced through Gohan's chest, happening too fast for anyone to catch. The boy suddenly fell over, coughing up some blood as everyone looked on in horror at seeing the boy in his condition.
Not too far away, Frieza still had his finger out, panting angrily. "One down, maybe I'll go for Vegeta's son next."
Goku turned to Frieza, fury filling his eyes, "You...you bastard! You stupid bastard!" Goku started powering up again, turning into Super Saiyan, then 2, then three. He was too enraged to reach Blue, all he could think about was his fallen son. "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!"
Goku rushed in, punching Frieza hard, letting the space tyrant have it with his vicious strikes, ending it with a kick that knocked Frieza toward the group, all of them furious at the Emperor.
"It's over Frieza!" Vegeta shouted, powering into Blue and upper-cutting Frieza hard, knocking him into the air. Videl rushed in with a kick to his stomach, Sixteen nailing a punch to his face, staggering the tyrant.
"Why you!" Frieza aimed his finger to attack again.
"Destructo Disc!" Krillin angrily shouted, throwing his attack and cutting off Frieza's right arm, the space Emperor screaming in pain.
"AH! Bastards! All of you!" Frieza shouted, then took a punch from Trunks, and a double Dodon Ray from Tien and Chiaotzu, and a Special Beam Cannon from Piccolo through his chest. Even Zangya flew in and tossed a few ki blasts at Frieza, knocking him back.
"Wolf Fang Fist!" Yamcha shouted, hitting a flurry of attacks to Frieza, knocking him even more dizzy, giving room for both Androids to fly in and punch Frieza so hard, their hands went right through his body, the tyrant coughing up blood.
"D-damn you..." Frieza muttered.
Goku reappeared, charging up his Kamehameha, "I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL!" Goku fired his blast, completely overwhelming Frieza and destroying the tyrant for good.
"N-no! Lord Frieza!" Sorbet shouted. He reached for his laser gun but felt a shadow looming over him. He looked up and the moment he saw Eighteen, she had punched down at his head with immense force, immediately ending the liutenant.
She made her way bac to Seventeen, her arm completely soaked in blood. Seventeen took one look at Sorbet's body, feeling no sense of pity. He just wish he did that himself.
Even after his enemy's death, Goku still felt furious, panting hard and angrily, his hands shaking with irate fury. Slowly he began to power down as he turned to his son, as did the others, all of them gathering around Gohan.
Videl tried helping him, she moved him onto his back and sat him up, hoping to get a response from him. Eighteen knelt beside him, holding him in her arms as tears dripped down her face.
"Gohan? How are you feeling?" Eighteen asked, feeling choked up. "Gohan?"
The boy had no response, he wasn't even breathing by this point. The others could feel his energy slowly fading away, knowing that it was too late for the boy.
"Gohan, wake up!" Seventeen shouted, trying to hold back his own tears. "Dammit kid, stop screwing around!"
"Gohan, please move, do something!" Videl pleaded.
Trunks angrily clenched his fists, getting flashbacks to the death of his Gohan. "I failed...again." Trunks bowed his head, "Forgive me Master, I couldn't help you!"
Eighteen tried patting Gohan's face, expecting a reaction, "Please wake up! Gohan!"
Goku tried pulling Eighteen away, "Come on."
"No! Not until he wakes up!" Eighteen shouted, this time shaking Gohan's body. "GET UP!"
"Eighteen! It's over!" Goku shouted, trying to pull her away.
"No it's not! I won't let it!" Eighteen shouted, desperately holding onto Gohan's body."
"LET GO ALREADY!" Goku finally pulled Eighteen away. "He's gone Eighteen!"
"No! He can't be!" Eighteen was a wreck, her face full of tears. "Gohan's not dead!"
"He is Eighteen!" Goku shouted. "You have to get a grip!"
Eighteen glared at Goku, "That is your son! Where's your remorse dammit! Where the hell is your rem-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Goku shouted, startling Eighteen. "Don't you think I'm just as upset!? That's my son! Believe it or not Eighteen, I do care about my family! It INFURIATES me that I couldn't keep my son alive! But falling apart over it will NOT help! You need to get a grip!"
Eighteen still felt mad, even if Goku was mad surely he could understand her own turmoil, "Goku, I'm not like you. I can't handle this type of lose with your grace. If you think less of me then so be it, it just means that I loved Gohan, probably more than you did."
"Eighteen...I am not in the mood for that," Goku warned. "Believe it or not, I am really close to losing my temper. If you want to cry about this instead of doing anything, then be my guest."
"Doing anything!?" Eighteen asked. "Just what the hell am I supposed to be doing right now!?"
"Wait, The Dragon Balls!" Videl shouted, getting everyone's attention. "They can bring Gohan back!"
Eighteen looked surprised, "Wait, the Dragon Balls?"
"That's what I was trying to get at," Goku said. "The Dragon Balls can ressuerect people, just like they did for me, and Piccolo, and even that bastard Frieza. If we keep our cool and not fall apart so quickly, we can just go out to find the Dragon Balls, we can have Gohan back."
Eighteen started to feel a bit better, knowing the death of Gohan could only be temporary. Quickly wiping her eyes, she nodded her head to Goku. "Fine, let's do it."
"What about Gohan?" Videl asked, gesturing to the boy's body. "Where should we take him?
"Uh...I think his body's got it covered," Yamcha said, gesturing to the fact that Gohan's body was disappearing. "What just happened?"
"Gohan's body is going with him to Other World," Goku said. "Must be Dende's doing. That means King Kai can look after him."
"How is that possible?" Seventeen asked.
"Happened to me too," Goku said. "Same with Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu."
"Well now that it's settled, let's get going," Vegeta said.
"Right, come on!" Goku said, everyone flying off to find The Dragon Balls, intending to revive their friend and/or family member, Gohan.
Next time on Dragon Ball Z...Seriosuly the story ends next chapter, that's all that shall be diverged.
