Piccolo walked over to Kuzuku and Gohan while brushing himself off. The two Saiyans took notice of his oncoming footsteps and turned their attention to the namek.

"Well, well, well. Looks like a certain green giant just went through one heck of a fight." Kuzuku quip

"Hey don't patronize him Kuzuku. He just got done with a tough fight so cut him some slack" Gohan joked. Piccolo smiled at the Saiyan's words.

"I'm alright Gohan. But I have to admit, if I didn't transform then I would of lost." Piccolo admitted

"Yeah it seems that last move that Pikkon used was pretty fast. Even I had trouble keeping up with him." Kuzuku praised. Footsteps were then heard as it fast approached.

"Hey Piccolo looks like your doing all right!" Goku shouted as the gang followed behind them. When they came to a full stop, Gohan spoke up.

"Yo guys, you do know this is a fighters only area right?"

"Oh don't worry about that besides how could we stay still after seeing that new form!" Krillin replied. Piccolo smirked as he answered.

"It did take a lot of training to achieve such a state. In order for me to transform, I had to undergo excruciating meditation, pushing my namekian body to the limits from the harsh environments of the time chamber. That was when I transformed and became a Chaos Namekian, one that is able to endure harsh situation to the extreme."

"Neat, I guess to sum it up is to say that you are even stronger in that state?!" Goten said as he looked up to Piccolo. He nodded in response. It was then that the announcer called out for the next match to begin. Everyone started to wish Kuzuku luck as they walk back to their seats. The Saiyan turned around thinking he was alone until something wrapped their arms around him. He turned around to see 21 burying her face into his back. He smiled heartily.

"What's the matter 21?". 21 looked up and smiled.

"I just want to say I love you and please come back safely." she said as her voice trailed off into a whisper. The Saiyan then lifted the majin's chin up and gave'd her a surprise kiss. She was shocked at first but sooner or later started kissing back. As they broke apart Kuzuku smiled.

"Thanks 21. That's all the encouragement I needed.". He then turned around as he walked onto his next fight with no regrets, knowing that someone was watching over him. 21 also made her way back to her group of friends with a wide smile planted across her face. When she arrived, 21 took her seat while unaware at the people next to her are grinning as well.

"So 21, what happened between you and Kuzuku back there. Must of been something very important?" Liz teased while Ryusika was trying to pay her no mind. 21 snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her in embarrassment.

"Wh...What are you implying. I was ju...just giving him extra encouragement that's all". Liz didn't buy into that and simply blurted out what she was implying.

"Well to answer your question, I am implying that it seems to me that you two had a private intimate going on. Something like kissing perhaps.". 21 face went red and cast her face downward to avoid stares. Liz, Bulma, and Chi Chi were laughing at her expression. Kuzuku at the moment was walking towards his match until a certain someone pulled him over.

"Hey whats the big ide..." Kuzuku stopped his sentence when he saw who it was. Hudo was now in front of him looking down.

"Oh sup Hudo. Do you need something?" Kuzuku asked

"Kuzuku I would like for you to withdraw from the match before you get hurt."

"Huh why would I do that?" Kuzuku raised an eyebrow.

"Because in Zugo's current state, he'll seriously hurt you or even worse!" Hudo shouted. Kuzuku was taken back by this change in persona

"What are you on about? Sure he is a prick but I don't back down from challenges."

"Sigh* Kuzuku I think you should know about Zugo's past." Kuzuku stood there silent as he waited for the Astackian's friend to speak.

"You see back when we were kids we lived under the protection of Zugo's father. He was the guardian of the Etterix."

"Wait your Astackian to?". Hudo nodded to answer his question.

"It was just the three of us. My mother and father died along with the majority of our race. You see long ago a disease plagued our planet causing death to spread across the land. The survivors lived on to continue their work and that was protecting the Etterix."

"Zugo looked up to his dad a lot ya know. He never left his side in which we would always play with each other in the sacred place where the Etterix resided in. But those good times were over in a instant.". Kuzuku's expression disconsolate as he heard that part. He could tell where this was going from personal experience.

"You see someone landed onto our planet and butchered most of our people...including Zugo's father. After that he took the Etterix and left the planet in a flames. Since that day it seemed that Zugo had failed his father as he was suppose to succeed him in protecting the Etterix. He started to change since that day." Hugo finished. Kuzuku then began to walk away. Hudo was showing signs of relief that he might of headed his warning until.

"Sorry Zugo but I can't redraw from this match.". Hugo was then demoralized at that sentence. In desperation.

"Ku...Kuzuku! Wait please reconsider! Ever since that day most of the opponent's that faced Zugo were killed. You mustn't do this!". Kuzuku paused for a moment and turned his head to the Astackian. He then smirked.

"You two are best friends right? Then you must of entered this tournament to try and change your friend through battle after he left your home that day.". Hudo was at shock on how he figured that part out. Kuzuku then started walking again and waved goodbye.

"Don't worry about it Hudo. I will take care of this for you.". At that Kuzuku was now approaching what may be his toughest fight so far.

Main Battle Arena

"Alright folks, the repairs are now completed so gets ready to start the second match of the second round!" The crowd cheered as the wait was finally over. Zugo was already standing in the arena waiting for his expecting opponent. Kuzuku was now walking towards the entrance as his thoughts began to cloud his mind.

"Zugo, you and I may not be all that different at all huh? But there is one thing I couldn't understand. If we are really all that alike then why?" Kuzuku thought as he approached the door.

"Why did you have abandon your friend all alone on a planet that was devastated?"

"Were you really that pent up on what happened to you that you would forget what you still had? Were you that selfishly blinded by rage and failure?" Kuzuku fastened his gloves.

"If that's the case, then I will have no other choice to show you. What it means to have the support of the bonds you have created over time. The bonds that help you become stronger everyday." Kuzuku was now approaching the door that enveloped his body in light as one sentence came to mind.

"That way you two could work things out.".The Saiyan was now approaching through the door as he stared at his opponent. Light shined upon him as his hair flowed in the wind. He got up on the stage as the crowd cheered for the battle to commence. Kuzuku looked over to where 21 and the others were watching and smiled as he felt a hidden strength wash over him.

"Alright now lemme introduce the fighters! In this corner is a mysterious fight that has taken out his opponents in a blink of an eye. Zugo!" the crowd roared as they heard his name

'Now his opponent is also someone who is exceptional among the ranks of Universe 7's top fighters. Lets give it up for the Saiyan himself Kuzuku!" The crowd cheered as the match was about to begin. Kuzuku closed his eyes and prepared for battle, focusing his mind on all of his fighting instincts. Zugo simply stood in his normal position, thinking this was going to be a quick fight. There was a moment of silence that seemed to last a hour as the anticipation was growing denser. Then finally the signal was given and Zugo vanished, attempting to do what he did last time. In slow motion Zugo was behind Kuzuku who still had his eyes closed. He was preparing a claw like attack as his hand was surrounded by bluish white energy. In mere second a explosion of energy blinded the attendance. Zugo then smirked maliciously as he thought he ended the Saiyan until he saw a tail still next to him. When the dust cleared it revealed the two fighters still standing in the ring, only this time that Kuzuku had blocked his attack with his forearm. That was the point where the match took off.

Kuzuku swiftly moved Zugo's attacking arm out of the way and aim a punch at his face. The Astack dodged hastily as he jumped back to gain some distance. Kuzuku didn't allow any of that though and charged at him. Once he got close he went in for a punch but was left wide open for another one of Zugo's attacks. Cleverly, Kuzuku grabbed his arm before it made contact and hoisted himself over Zugo. Once he was behind him, Kuzuku landed a Ki blast in Zugo back causing him to fly across the arena. Zugo flipped himself mid air and went back into the fight. Kuzuku prepared himself for the barrage of attacks that were coming his way. Skillfully the two warriors clashed in a series of strikes. Zugo eventually dodged Kuzuku punch and landed a left-claw like hook on Kuzuku thigh. Kuzuku grunted in pain and was met with a barrage of punches all over his body. The Saiyan had enough of his assault and ducked under one of the punches. Now it was Kuzuku's turn to launch a barrage of punches at Zugo. Each punch was aimed at his stomach and face, pushing him back towards the edge of the ring. Zugo then broke through the assault and tripped the Saiyan. Kuzuku was not about to give up as he stopped his fall with one arm and twisted his body so that he could strike with his heel. Zugo blocked the kick by crossing his arms and skidded back. Kuzuku got onto his feet and went on to trade blows once more. Each fighter dodging and blocking the other. Both couldn't land a solid hit as they test each other's defense. Kuzuku then thought cleverly and went in for a roundhouse at Zugo's right side. Zugo dodged his kick and tried to go in for another strike. That wasn't until he anticipated wrongly when Kuzuku was going in for a roundhouse into a reverse back kick. The blue haired fighter skidded backwards as the force of the attack passed a shock-wave through his stomach. Kuzuku didn't stop there and continued on. At the moment Kuzuku was delivering punches and kicks while Zugo struggled to dodge and block each one. Zugo felt his efforts were in vain as he was still taking hits all over his body. Zugo was raising his power even more and started to fight back. Kuzuku was now struggling to keep up with Zugo heighten speed and attacks. Kuzuku felt that he was fighting a losing battle and flipped backwards multiple times. He then circled his opponent with extraordinary speed, to where he vanished completely. Zugo was now standing in the middle of the arena, trying anticipate where the Saiyan might strike next. He then launched a elbow to the speculated area but fazed through a afterimage. Zugo was at shock until he felt a kick to the face that sent launched him off his feet. Recovering quickly, both warriors engaged in a stalemate clash that including every strike imaginable.

"Grrr I am fighting with almost everything I got! How is he still able to keep up?! I might have to unlock more of my power?!" Zugo cursed

Zugo narrowly dodged a flying round house kick to the face and was then predicting another kick to come like last time. That was until he was hit by Kuzuku unexpected tail. While stunned, Kuzuku went in for a cross punch to the same area. Causing him to skid back and recover. Kuzuku stood strong but was breathing quite heavily. Zugo to wasn't fairing much better as he was breathing heavily.

"So far so good. Looks like Kuzuku is holding his own down there" Krillin honored

"Yeah but that Zugo guy is really strong to keep up with Kuzuku like that" Goten said

"You two must be delusional if you think things are going to stay the same way as they are now. This fight has just got started so get comfy because this may take a while." Vegeta claimed. The group then turned their attention back to the match with a sign of worry. Meanwhile Hudo who was watching the fight was astounded by Kuzuku's strength. He could admit that he was wrong about Kuzuku not dying since he would probably survive the fight but he knew that he may get seriously hurt.

"So you have a friend do you not?" Kuzuku said as he regain control over his breathing.

"What do you mean by 'friend'" Zugo said

"Don't play dumb. I am talking about that fighter named Hudo. He's your friend right.". Zugo paused for a moment but then smiled menacingly.

"You talking about that over optimistic piss of garbage? I am sorry to break it to ya but he is no friend of mine. I abandon my home and everyone I knew a long time ago. Matter a fact, mostly everyone died a long time ago!"

"Whats you say!" Kuzuku shouted.

"Don't bother trying to understand me. I guess he told you about how my father was killed right? So what is that all you need to know to comprehend where I am coming from? HA! Don't amuse me." Zugo said as he gave a serious glare.

"Now enough talk, let me show you the true power of the Astackian race". Zugo then began to tense his muscles and let out a battle cry.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!". A bright ocean blue energy began to rage out of his body. It let out a shock-wave that traveled across the whole arena as the sky started to darken. The Saiyan was pushed back a bit as the force he was emitting was enormous. When the light faded everyone could finally get a visual on the blue hair warrior. His hair remained the same but the distinguishing part of his transformation was that his eyes were more feral and had widened fangs. His overcoat was still on but the long sleeves he had were blown off to reveal his arm was bluish white up to his elbow with a wavy pattern at the end. His shoes were also blown off reveal wolf like feat that are able to latch onto anything. His now ocean blue aura was emitting around him as he stood in the center of the arena.

"Whistles* Look at all that power. Man he just got a whole lot stronger." Goku praised

"This is not the time to admire the enemy. You should be cheering Kuzuku on right?" Ryusika said.

"Don't worry, Kuzuku's got a trick of his own you'll see." Trunks smirked causing Ryusika to look at the boy.

"Well I guess you've been holding back? I kinda feel hurt since you've deceived me like that." Kuzuku joked

"Hehehe. I guess that you finally understand the situation you've gotten yourself into. But don't feel too bad, I will knock you out of the ring in a instant." Zugo said darkly

"Well that's too bad, because I am not gonna feel all that bad anyways." Kuzuku smirked causing him to be filled with curiosity.

"Watch this.". Kuzuku was starting to raise his power even greater than before. Zugo was standing there, pondering on what the Saiyan was trying to accomplish.

"HAAAAA!". A golden explosion covered the arena and dispersed as quickly as it came. Emits the dust that swirled around was a daunting golden light that shined so bright. Zugo had to adjust his eyes for a minute and process on what he saw. Kuzuku was now shining with yellow spiked up hair and stared at him with dangerous green eyes. His tail was yellow and was also being enveloped with his golden aura.

"So you've been holding back as well. Guess that makes you a hypocrite." Zugo smirked

"Heh I guess I am. Now lets see how you will deal with a Super Saiyan." Kuzuku said as he got into fighting stance. Ryusika was at awe with Kuzuku transformation and tugged on Liz's shirt.

"What happened to Kuzuku? He's blond now."

"Oh that's just his transformation. He said that it makes him even more powerful than before.". 21 was smiling as she watched her boyfriend's golden haired form. It always made him more comforting to her but she wanted to keep that a secret.

"It seems Kuzuku mastered Super Saiyan to its fullest extent. He is at least ten times the normal multiplier now" Goku noted.

Kuzuku took the first move and stormed at his opponent with unpredictable patterns. Zugo took a defensive stance and blocked the oncoming left punch. Kuzuku then went into a reverse roundhouse kick to the head in which was dodged by Zugo. When he came back around he deflected one of Zugo punches and vanished once more. Zugo did the same leaving the arena's attendance with nothing more than sounds of their clashes. The two warriors were running across the arena, clashing with punches and kicks. Each time they became visible they reappeared and vanished, leaving a trail of dust where they previously stood. Zugo then kicked Kuzuku back as he blocked and planted his foot onto the ground. The ground was becoming frosted as it extended where Kuzuku was landing. White cold crystals came out from under the ground and slammed into Kuzuku. Coughing up a bit of blood, the Saiyan was launched into the air, only to see the wolf like Astack preparing to send him back to the ground. Kuzuku maneuvered around the attackers punch and elbowed him in the face. He then kicked him to the ground instead, crashing into his very own creation. Kuzuku chased after him with speeds that far break the sound barrier. Unknowingly, Zugo fired a blast from the smoke. Kuzuku posthaste his block which lead him to be vulnerable a attack from behind. Zugo then kicked Kuzuku's side. Sensing the following elbow, Kuzuku caught his strike. With in a short instant, the two broke out into another exchange of blows that only displayed blurs of their flying attacks. Their forearms then as they stared into each other's eyes.

"Tell me what was the real reason why you left your home?" Kuzuku grunted

"Whats it matter to you?!" Zugo sneered

"Don't give me that crap. You've been talking as if your friend was some worthless garbage. I won't believe that for a second since you two were childhood friends. He told me he lived with you and your father, so why are you in denial!"

"Because I abandon everything in order to atone!" Zugo shouted

"To atone?"

"It was my fault that my father died. If I would of just listened to him and stayed at my post where the Etterix lied dormant then it would of never been stolen. If I hadn't got in his way when he was fighting then he wouldn't have ended up dead because of me. That's why I left!. The only way for me to atone is for me to abandon all of my happiness and take back the Etterix myself! That's why I left my best friend alone by himself!" Zugo shouted with force. He then broke the hold and kicked Kuzuku in the stomach, rocketing him to the ground that created a pillar of debris. He then landed as he panted heavily. Kuzuku slowly got up from the rubble with the bangs of his Super Saiyan covering his face.

"Is that all?". Zugo eyes widened in shock.

"If that's really the case then all you needed to do was believe in your friend. Its okay to rely on others to help you." Kuzuku said as he gave him a sympathetic look. Zugo was now getting frustrated as he was beginning to believe his words. He then powered up even more and charged at the Saiyan.

"SHUT UP!". In a split moment Kuzuku's aura grew electricity around it and swiftly dodged the attack. He then rammed his fist into Zugo's stomach causing him to gasp for air. Kuzuku then struck him hard in the face, making him slide across the ground. Kuzuku gave him a stern glare as he got up. Zugo wiped his cheek and grunted in pain for a bit. His vision was blurry a bit but returned to him. He then heard Kuzuku speak.

"If I win this fight then promise me this. Go to Hudo and simply talk things out with him."

Zugo started to laugh."Hahahahaha. You think you are gonna win this match. I haven't even reached my full power!". Zugo clutched his fist tightly and started the power up even more. Dark Blue ki rises out of his body. The markings that were on his legs and arms also started to match the color of his new ki. His hair inverted colors as he closed his eyes.

"I didn't want to use this form since I don't have much control over it, but you. I WILL MAKE A EXCEPTION!". Zugo then began to scream as he started to transform.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The dark blue Ki began to get wilder by the minute as blue electricity raged around the arena, destroying chunks of the stage. Kuzuku covered his eyes as it was hard to stand on his feet. The crowd started to scream with panic, while the announcer was tucking his body into a ball for safety against the storm.

"Whats happening!" Ace said with worry

"To put it simply, Zugo has been angered for some reason and is now releasing his full power. I didn't expect for someone so young to achieve such a form." Supremem Kai explain

"Wait he has another transformation?" Goku asked

"Yes, in the ancient times, the Astackian race was a proud race that was on par with that of the Acrosians. They didn't have as many forms as the Acrosians but they are said to be more powerful compared to them, not counting Frieza's golden form."

"The thing is stage 1 was the form you previously saw. Stage 1 takes the personification of there inner Astackian. But stage 2 takes embodies the dark half. You see the race has a lineage of demonic blood in them, but most of them are pure. In order to access that dark pool of power a Astackian must undergo intense training for ten years but Zugo at such a young age was able to transform into the state. He must be some sort of prodigy" Supreme Kai emphasized

"So your saying that he's gonna be a whole lot stronger now."

"That's precisely it but also his sense for blood lust will increase as well. Kuzuku might have to keep on his tows otherwise he might be killed." Supreme Kai added. 21 was now worried and turned her head to the stage. She clutched her pants as she watched the transformation continue. Liz grabbed her shoulder and looked at her in the eyes, giving her a assuring smile along with her friends. 21 smirked as well and kept her hopes that Kuzuku will be okay.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Zugo shouted as the blind light engulfed the arena. Once it dispersed the audience was still adjusting their eyes.

"Hmm seems he's a lot stronger than I thought." Beerus noted as he took a bite of his pudding

"Yes Yes, but I am afraid that he may overdue it and destroy the whole arena." Whis complained

"Then lets just hope that Saiyan is able to handle himself before he does" Beerus cheerfully said as he takes another bite. Kuzuku was now staring at the newly transformed Astack. Zugo opened his eyes slowly to reveal a black tint with ocean blue pupils. Kuzuku could only just smirk as his saiyan blood started to tingle.

"I take that you are at full power now?" Kuzuku tittered

"You won't be talking much when I am through with you, monkey." Zugo maligned

"Then lets not waste anymore time and get back into the fight" Kuzuku goaded

Both warriors rushed at each with raging speeds. The ground beneath them shattered into pieces. In the middle of the arena stood both fighters locked in a struggle. Zugo smirked and kicked Kuzuku in the chin. Kuzuku was stunned as he was lifted of the ground from the blow. Zugo spun around, planting a kick firm into Kuzuku's stomach. In a flip motion Kuzuku landed back onto his feet. He charged at Zugo with a shoulder thrust. Zugo was unprepared for the attack and was pushed across the arena. Enduring the pain, Zugo maneuvered around Kuzuku grabbed him by the face. He then smile maliciously and dragged Kuzuku across the floor. The Saiyan had enough and broke his hold on him. He used his left arm as leverage to kick Zugo in the face. The Astackian was sent flying while being chased by the so called monkey in mere seconds. While still hovering above the ground the Astackian fired a Ki blast to the ground. The smoke that was created gave him enough time to vanish from the saiyan's sights. Kuzuku was covering his face from the debris. Zugo took advantage of this and landed a blow across the face. Kuzuku managed to recover and took the initiative. He went on to fire a barrage of Ki blast at the Astackian, each one landing a direct hit since it was too fast. While being blasted Zugo smirked as frost formed beneath Kuzuku's feat. The tailed boy noticed too late, when he was getting cut by various pillars of crystals.

"Gahhhh!" Kuzuku spurted out blood from his wounds. Zugo took the opening and launched himself at the Saiyan. Kuzuku used his tail to whip around, breaking the ice pillar that had his blood trailing from them. He grabbed two of them in mid air and caught his strike to his chest. He hoisted him up delivering a axe kick to his head, implanting him to the ground. Kuzuku landed onto his feet until he felt the ground shake below him. From under Zugo emerged and uppercut-ed him in the chin and rammed his foot into his gut to follow up. Kuzuku tanked the blow rather well and punched him square in the jaw. The two broke out into another engagement of fists. Then one after the other, they vanished as they avoided each others blows. Eventually both thought in union as they kicked each other in the face causing them to spin side ways onto their feet. Kuzuku then focused on his speed and striking power and rushed at the recovering Astack, leaving trails of light behind him as he rammed his fist into his gut. Zugo coughed in pain as he felt the immense force of the blow. He grunted angrily and folded his hands together to knock Kuzuku away. Kuzuku however ducked from the attack and elbowed him in the same spot. Zugo was now getting even more mad and vanished from the saiyan's sight. Shocked he was gone, Kuzuku was sliding back as he felt a kick hit his side. He looked up to see a rather enraged wolf man standing before him.

"Damn it! Why don't you just roll over and lose already!" Zugo frustrated

"Huff* Huff* Well I don't think it'd be right if I lost so easily."

"Shut up! You know what I will finish you off with this!" Zugo shouted as he flew into the air. He lifted both arms into the air as he concentrated his energy into a large orb that grew bigger and bigger.

"How about I kill you along with those impudents down there!"

"Are you really that in denial to admit you were wrong!" Kuzuku said as he was at disbelief.

"I DON'T CARE!" Zugo was getting angrier by the minute as the dark blue orb rage with power. The crowd's expression was contradicting the situation. Kuzuku sighed.

"Looks like I am going to have to end this now before things get more out of hand. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH". Kuzuku's gold ki raged even more with electricity rapidly spreads across the arena. In mere moments his hair grew long as he turned Super Saiyan 3. He then powered up even more and motioned his hands together while chanting.

"Kaaaaaa...meeeeee..." in a deeper voice that matches the Super Saiyan 3 trait.

"It doesn't matter how much you change your hair, I am still going to destroy you!" Zugo exclaimed

"Haaaaa...meeee"

Zugo gritted his teeth. "DIEEEEEEEEEE!". He threw the giant energy ball at his adversary. Kuzuku paused for a moment feeling a wash of disappointment come to him. He simply knew he had to do one thing.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kuzuku yelled as he fired his Super Kamehameha. The two attack met, producing shock-waves at a alarming rate. Zugo was struggling to fight against Kuzuku's wave as a million thoughts past his mind.

"Why is he so strong?! How is he beating me so easily?!" Zugo said as a flashes of memories from his childhood appeared.

"Damn it why are they popping up now of all times?!" Zugo cursed as another memory of them two smiling together when they caught a fish.

"Damn...it...all..." Zugo last thoughts came as his energy ball was overwhelmed and succumbed to the wave. The wave then enveloped Zugo in its light exploding in a blind flash. The audience were then blinded by the sudden explosion. When the light diminished the crowd look up at the smoke that was hovering above them, wondering if he was dead. Then out from the smoke came a figure that was covered in dust. It crashed right out of bounce and laid motionless. The announcer ran over to check on who was revealed to be Zugo who transformed back to normal. He found that he was still alive but was unconscious. Kuzuku powered down, knowing the fight was finally over.

"The winner of the second match of the second round is Kuzuku!". The crowd and Kuzuku's friends cheered at his victory. Hudo was left in shock and worry that his friend had lost. Kuzuku made an attempt to move but felt a sharp pain and grabbed his arm. He looked back at the unconscious warrior. He then muttered.

"That fool. Does he think that his father would want him to abandon his happiness just for him.". Kuzuku then slowly walked back into the fighters resting area to get his wounds treated.

This was easily one of the longest battle chapters I've written. Mainly because I pretty much hyped up Zugo as a tough opponent. Though I didn't really like how I finished the ending of the match. I mainly prompted this fight to have more emotion to it (As shown in the dialogues) but granted, Kuzuku winning instantly by turning MSSJ3 kinda destroyed a bit of Zugo's charm similar to Jiren now that I realized it. That's why I posted a chapter on explaining how strong they've gotten in two years of training, just to give you guys an idea on how strong they hypothetically are, hopefully saving some of Zugo's image. Another thing I've learned from the chapters I've completed is the pacing of the character's increased strength. Kuzuku, Gohan, Piccolo, and even 21 (Since she is a better Cell with a higher potential. She will receive a power up in the future.) are reasonable in their increased strength due to them being prodigies in their own right (Gohan being obvious from birth, and Piccolo being able to hold his own in the TOP as well as being potentially the fourth strongest Z-Fighter). But for a future character that you will find our shortly will be making a great jump in power as well as Hudo and Zugo. This is mainly because I wanted to make them relevant for the threat that they will face and if I kept them at this same level of power then they would of probably got decimated. Expect Kuzuku to get a major power up after the tournament arc but don't think for a second that the others won't catch up to his strength in no time. For Goku and Vegeta not getting much screen time, I admit that they are being thrown to the side character section these couple of chapters. The reason for this is because if they were to fight then everyone would lose their spotlight similar to Super. But don't worry they will get their chance when a even bigger threat appears in the future. Again thanks for reading and stay tune ^_^.

EDIT: Also another thing is that Kuzuku's power jump was ridiculously high now that I realized it but I won't spoil for the reason why it was.
