Sweat trickled down Kuzuku's bruised face as he face his adversary with his friends. They were all battle damaged pretty heavily while Aereos wasn't even out of breath. That only frustrated him even more as it showed the gap between their power. They even ran out of senzu beans from fighting this guy so there was no way they could recover anymore. Hudo decided to take the initiative and sprinted at the deity. His punch was effortlessly dodge, as if it were a elementary move to make. He was punished for his assault with a knee to the gut, knock the wind out of him. Zugo charged in to help his friend from the situation he put himself in. He aimed a kick at Aereos's head but was evaded when he ducked under.
"You guys gotta come up with something better. Reading your moves is starting to bore me." Aereos mocked. He then elbowed Zugo in the gut, causing more blood to spew out of his mouth and grabbed Hudo by the throat and lifted him into the air while back handing Zugo into a hole. He started to choke Hudo, squeezing with bone crushing force. But that wasn't enough for the sadistic entity. He started punching him firmly in the gut over and over, each time coughing out blood. Kuzuku had enough of this abuse and rushed at him with full force. Gohan and Piccolo charged in as well in an attempt to aid the Saiyan. Aereos turned around and looked at the three of them, giving them a insignificant look. He let Hudo go and launched one of his devastating Ki blasts in his stomach, exploding in the process. Hudo was rammed into the wall by the force of the blast bursting. Aereos vanished from their sights for a moment and stood above them in the air. They all paused their advances and looked up, worried about what he may do next. Then suddenly a indescribable amount of orbs similar to that of Inzuna appeared in the sky.
"Lets see if you all can handle this attack from one of my subordinates." Aereos said. The orbs then rained upon them all, causing them to brace themselves for impact. The dimensional orbs crashed into the ground one by one, detonating it's devastating effects over and over. It all then caused a chain reaction that generated a large explosion that could be seen in space. When the light dissipated all you could see was an even larger crater than before with smoke clouding the bottom. Aereos flapped his wings once, destroying the smoke and revealing six bodies laid across the ground. They got up slowly, knowing that their time for rest was short lived. Kuzuku was barely holding onto Super Saiyan 3 while the others were struggling just as hard as he was. But to his misfortune he reverted back into a Super Saiyan 2. Kuzuku fell to the ground for a moment, panting heavily from exhaustion. He looked up, wondering what the evil deity had in store for them next. Then a sudden gravitational pressure forced the warriors to the ground, disabling them from moving. It was many times greater than anything Kuzuku has experienced.
"Oh my, did I forget to tell you that I can control gravity as well." Aereos taunted. Piccolo was struggling to look at him due to the pressure bestowed on them.
"Damn it! What is this guy!? He's like a walking pile of abilities." Piccolo cursed.
"Oh you couldn't be more right Namekian." Aereos said darkly. Numerous amounts of pointed spikes were created in the sky.
"How will you lots fair with Anit-Matter spikes. I must tell you that if collided by normal mattered organisms then...well lets just say it will hurt way more than it should." Aereos laughed. He motioned for them launch themselves into their targets. Everyone forced themselves to move from the gravitational pressure that was bestowed on them, in which they successfully did. They avoid vital hits from his attack but the damage was far greater than in should be. As the spikes were embedded into the ground, all you could see was the six fighters cut up in various places with anti-matter energy leaking from their wounds, stinging as it lingered on their flesh.
"You lots must be tougher than I thought! To resistance an attack that was meant to obliterate on touch is a feat in of it self. I must commend you!" Aereos applaud
"But don't think that was simply it. The ground beneath you is also composed of normal matter." Aereos smiled darkly. Kuzuku and Gohan realized too late as the matter and antimatter collided, creating a chain reaction that generated an explosion beneath them.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They all screamed as the sudden burst of energy enveloped the group in its destructive might. From afar the village could see the destructive wave level their beautiful forest once more. Everyone stared in fear at the destructive energy that was displayed. Eventually the light vanished, revealing a barren land that stood in front of the village with radiating heat. 21 was now thrown into a full panic from seeing the devastating sight. She looked closely for the others, hoping that they weren't disintegrated.
In the bottomless crater was a underground lake. Out came a monkey tailed boy with his spiky haired companion. They were torn in pretty much all over, only leaving their undershirts to cover their broad chest. They looked around for the rest of their companions until they heard a cry for help.
"Kuzuku! Gohan! I need your assistance!" Hudo called to them. When they came over they saw Zugo laid on his lap with pointed rock in his rib cage. He was breathing heavily as blood leaked out of the wound.
"Zugo, stay with me we are gonna get you some help!" Kuzuku said. Zugo opened his yellow eyes slowly. Piccolo came rushing in with a missing arm. He was stunned at the sight before him. A pull of blood was below them, seeping into the pool beside them.
"Kuzuku...I can't continue." Zugo coughed.
"You gotta beat this guy with...everything you got..." Zugo requested. Kuzuku cringed knowing that even all of them together wasn't enough to beat him or even lay a scratch. He then felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked at Zugo with widen eyes, wondering what he wanted. Zugo merely smiled at him which was the first time he's ever seen him do that.
"I am putting all of my faith in you. Laughs* Oh yeah I was wondering if we could go to this place called a beach back on Earth. I read it up online and heard it was fun. Wouldn't it be nice for us to simply relax their and have fun?" Zugo coughed but continue to smile.
"So lets get this over with and head hom...me" Zugo's voice trailed to a whisper before falling unconscious. Kuzuku was worried for a moment but could still hear him breathing. He got up and clutched his fist. He knew what Zugo said was out of character for him. This only showed the dire of the situation they were in.
"Guys could you take Zugo back to the village so he can get treated? I will take care of Aereos and hold him off until you recover." Kuzuku said
"Kuzuku what are you insane! He was destroying us at the same time and you expect me to believe you can take him on all by yourself!" Piccolo said.
"Don't worry about me. I have an idea but it will be risky." Kuzuku said.
"But-" Piccolo was cut off by Gohan who put his hand on his shoulder. His student gave him a stern look that said it was pointless to argue now. Piccolo paused for a moment but gave in.
"Fine but you better not die on me okay." Piccolo said. The three lifted Zugo's body and flew back to the village. There they saw 21, Kashu, and Riley who was having her injuries being treated.
"Have room for one more?!" Gohan called out as they landed in front of them. They walked over to them with Zugo and laid him across the ground. Riley looked at the Astackian in pure worry. Hudo noticed her expression and gave her a assuring smile.
"Don't worry, he's still alive but barely. That attack was devastating and he took the full front of it. He needs medical attention now." Hudo said. The doctors then went over to Zugo and started to tend to his wounds. The first step was removing the rock that was in his ribs.
"Alright on my mark I need you to use your pain killing magic while I remove the spike. Then I need you to start casting your healing spells immediately." The doctor commanded.
"Alright 1...2...3!" He counted. Zugo began to scream in agony despite the pain killing spell being cast on him. He started to squirm but was quickly apprehended by Hudo, Gohan and Piccolo. Once the doctor successfully removed the rock, the nurses started chanting their healing incantations and healed the hole before too much blood leaked out. Zugo started to calm down and relax while they tend to the rest of his injuries. 21 and Riley sighed in relief but then asked the question.
"Where is Kuzuku?". The three of them stood silent for a moment. Gohan thought it was best for him to tell them his plan.
"As of right now, Kuzuku is fighting Aereos by himself." Gohan answered.
"What! But why!?" 21 said with worry.
"He said he wanted to hold him off and not to worry about him. Something about him having a plan" Hudo said. 21 looked up into the sky, hoping to see the status of her love one. There stood Kuzuku facing Aereos all alone.
"Oh your not gonna bring your little friends alone? How noble of you to sacrifice yourself for their escape." Aereos said.
"Don't get cocky oh god of being a pain in my ass! Your about to be in for a rude awakening!" Kuzuku remarked.
"HAHAHAHA! You must of hit your head. Do you not remember that I was practically destroying you cretins. Go on, amuse me with your little last ditch effort." Aereos chortled. Kuzuku then instantly transformed back into a Super Saiyan 3.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kuzuku yelled. All of a sudden his yellow aura was mixed with raging red aura that turned his electricity into orange. Aereos was awed by his sudden increase in power.
"That's some trick you got there. Too bad it won't be enough to defeat me." Aereos said. Kuzuku continued to power up, ignoring his words. A sudden burst of gale actually pushed the deity back a bit.
"The hell?" Aereos muttered. The gang could only watch as the yellow and red energy flared together around the Saiyan's body.
"So that's his plan! He's actually going to go this far!" Piccolo grunted
"What do you mean Piccolo? Your telling me Kuzuku can push even further?" Hudo asked.
"Its risky but by pushing his Super Saiyan 3 powers to the limits and then combining that with his Kaioken technique that multiples his power even greater than before then he may stand a better chance." Gohan answered. Hudo looked with astonishment that Kuzuku can become this powerful. Aereos was floating in the air, frozen from the continue rise in his power. Then the moment finally came where Kuzuku's energy burst into an intense pressure of red aura.
"KAIOKEN X10!" Kuzuku yelled dashing at Aereos with unreal speeds. For the first time, Aereos had felt pain as Kuzuku's fist implanted itself into his gut. He coughed out purple blood as the blow did its damage. Kuzuku felt the sudden jolt of agony in his arm but ignored it. He proceeded to kick the dark god towards the ground, causing him to slide across the gravel and crashing through several newly made rock formations. Kuzuku flew after him with the intention to not let up with his assault. Aereos recovered and generated more of his Anti-mattered spikes and hurled them at the Saiyan. Kuzuku wasted no time and punched through his barrage of attacks, leaving the deity in shock at his strength when he was inevitably punched again, this time being across his face. Aereos skidded back from his blow and smirked.
"Oh yes this is the stuff! I can't believe I've met someone who is able to do what you just did! Now come! Lets rejoice in this battle of pure strength!." Aereos enthused. He disappeared, displaying speeds that makes his previous movements look like it was in slow motion. Kuzuku couldn't react in time and was slugged across the face. The two broke out in a exchange of punches and kicks that shook the planet to its very core. Kuzuku was getting pushed back as Aereos's attacks were becoming more frantic by the second. He then saw an opening and deflected one of his attacks and rammed his fist into his stomach. Aereos gasped once again from the devastating blow from the Saiyan warrior. He smirked for a moment and place his hand on his chest, delivering a blow of kinetic energy throw his body. Kuzuku coughed out blood but endured the pain, planting a kick on his cheek. Aereos was stunned a bit until he was sent flying into another rock by the second kick to the face. Kuzuku positioned himself into a stance, panting heavily as the Super Saiyan 3 Kaioken x10 was eating away from his body. Kuzuku then felt a sharp pain in his abdominal and slowly looked down to see Aereos's fist. He spewed out more blood and was punched in the face, rocketing him into their to be later launch back to the ground by a back breaking kick. Another cratered was formed from the impact as the Saiyan was trying to get up. Kuzuku flared his energy even more and disappeared from Aereos's line of sight, shocking the god. Kuzuku's fist met his face in seconds, generating a shock-wave that leveled several rocks in the area. Aereos was dazed as the force shut down his muscle control for a moment. Kuzuku then delivered another punch to the opposite side of his face, this time sending him to the ground and creating a crater. Aereos was struggling to get up and could only hear chanting from the Saiyan.
"Kaaaaaaaaa...meeeeeeee..." Kuzuku began. Aereos stuck his hand out and generated a series of continuous waves.
"HAAAAAAAA...MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Kuzuku's Kamehameha was raging with power that was ready to be release. The force was beginning to shake the universe in its destructive might. It could even threaten total annihilation similar to that of Goku and Beerus's punches but he knew how to control it so he wasn't threatening the universe.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kuzuku fired his gigantic wave that was aimed at Aereos. It collided with the deity's hand full front, generating an enormous amount of shock-waves.
"GRAAAAHHHH!" Aereos grunted. His defenses were starting to waver as he was getting pushed back.
"This is the end for you!" Kuzuku exclaimed, making one last push to have his wave engulf the deity. It then exploded large enough to be seen several galaxies away. The village's house were getting blown off from the exerted force while 21 protected everyone in a barrier. If you were view the planet from a satellite then you could see the landscape destruction that was caused. All he could see in front of him was nothing but debris and smoke. Kuzuku deformed from exhaustion, signaling that he is complete out of power. He landed onto the ground and found himself near the village. He was panting heavily and heard a voice call out to him.
"Kuzuku!" 21 yelled, finally seeing her boyfriend after an half an hour. Kuzuku smiled from seeing her but felt a familiar/frightening ki spike. He turned around in fear as he couldn't even conceive the idea of him surviving that attack. But the dust faded away to reveal a battered Aereos, smiling that he survived through such an attack.
"THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY HE SURVIVE THAT!" Piccolo yelled. Aereos was panting heavily and was astonished from the amount of damage he took.
"I guess you didn't expect that I could use dimensional energy in that way did you monkey?" Aereos grinned. Kuzuku was frozen as that was his strongest attack and it still failed to kill him.
"But I must admit, if I hadn't performed that and blocked by normal means, I most likely would of got obliterated into nothing by...what was it again?" Aereos admitted and then asked.
"Kaio-crap." Kuzuku suttered
"Figures." Aereos dashed at him and struck him across the face, sending him flying over the village and into the forest behind him. Kuzuku ached in pain as he was flying over the forest until he was dropped kicked straight into the ground. The forest was leveled by the eruption of debris. When it faded, all you could see was a crater that had the Saiyan laying in it. Kuzuku was loosing consciousness rather slowly while Aereos stood above in the air, grinning manically until he was interrupted by a Ki blast being thrown at him. He dodged it easily and looked at the source. He saw Gohan charging in and exchanged blows with him. He struggled a bit but still found it easy for him to block his attacks. He then struck Gohan in his ribs and reversed elbowed him in the face, launching him into the ground. Gohan got back up and continued to pursue the deity. Aereos was getting annoyed by the fact that he kept coming back for more. Piccolo re-transformed back into his Chaos Namekian state, leaving 21 to help take care of Zugo who was resting. Both Gohan and Piccolo were fighting Aereos, throwing a barrage of punches and kicks at him. Aereos had enough and caught both of their arms and throw them away. They stopped themselves in mid air and fired a array of Ki blasts at him. Each one exploded as they connected with his body but when the smoke cleared, it unraveled Aereos to be slightly scratched by their attacks.
"ARGHHAAAAAAAA!" Aereos yelled releasing an explosive wave that enveloped the half-breed and the Namek. When his wave finished, both Gohan and Piccolo were revealed to have blocked the attack. Aereos frustrated that he was pushed to the point that he was having troubling dispatching these two. That didn't go to say that they have a chance now. Despite the dark god being weakened they still stood no chance against his power. Kuzuku could only watch the spectacle happen as both Gohan and Piccolo engaged him once more. He couldn't help but think in this situation.
"Man...if I don't get up right now then I can't protect my friends. We could be back on Earth, having fun and sharing laughs. All I want now is to simply go home." Kuzuku thought. His thoughts were random spewing, probably because he is mentally exhausted from the battle.
"Home...all I want...is to return home...to the people that have become nearly family to me..." Kuzuku rambled. The mental image of the planet Earth lingered in his mind. He noticed that it look almost like the moon. His mind for some reason pondered on that image eventually causing...
"Ughh...Ughhhh...Ugghh...Ugghh..." Kuzuku gasped. His chest was starting to pound and his eyes grew red. His mouth left gasped as the mental image of the Earth looking like the moon never left his mind.
"Ugghh..Ugghh..Ugghh..Ugghh" Kuzuju panted faster. His eyes went full on red as he levaged himself off the group, revealing an animalistic face.
"Grahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Araghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The Saiyan started to roar. His mouth revealed fangs as he screamed with power. A pressure of energy was erupting around him as the ground began to get decimated. Aereos, Gohan and Piccolo were blown away from each other from the energy emitted. Aereos looked down in awe at what was happening. What seemed to be Kuzuku powering up, actually struck fear in the dark god. Gohan and Piccolo knew what was happening but could comprehend on how it was happening. They flew back down to the Village and made their way to where Zugo was resting.
"What's going on?! What's with this sudden surge of Ki?" Hudo asked.
"It's Kuzuku, it seems he is transforming." Gohan said.
"Oh so that's a good thing right? That means he can beat that guy now." Hudo asked
"Yeah, he could probably destroy him along with this planet! He's not transforming into a Super Saiyan, He turning into a Great Ape!" Piccolo grunted. Kashu looked at the Namek in fear.
"Do you mean that giant ape form that ravaged our planet generations ago? He should have control over it like any other Saiyan right?" Kashu questioned.
"That's precisely it and the problem is that Kuzuku wasn't raised to control this form. As of now, he wi'll become nothing but a raging monster that only knows destruction. Our best bet is to chop off his tail but he trained it to the point where that's nigh-impossible, especially if he is this strong now. Damn it, the moon wasn't even visible so how in the hell did he manage to pull it off?!" Piccolo confirmed. Kuzuku's body began to grow, destroying his clothes as he began to turn into a great ape. Then a flare of energy blinded the vicinity and revealed a golden ape standing in the middle of a destroyed forest.
"Raghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Golden Great Ape Kuzuku roared. Everyone covered their faces from the shock-waves generated.
"This is crazy he is just as strong as his Super Saiyan 3 with Kaioken." Gohan said. Golden Ape Kuzuku began to rage around and pound his chest as he continued to let out his animalistic screams.
Hey, What's up guys. This took longer to get out because school was coming has just now arrived so I've been preparing myself for the first day. Just to let you know, updates are probably going to take longer than I had hope and all I have to say is that I am sorry. The fact that I have three Honor classes especially one of them being Chemistry is going to get in the way a lot. It's a good thing that I will have some stress relief on my English and U.S Gov Honor classes but I still want on not screwing myself over lol. Now straying away from the whole personal life thing, I think that updates may take probably at most four weeks or more depending on the amount of work I get. I know four weeks! That's insane but hey I will tell you one thing though. I will never abandon a work that I put literally 40+ chapters in for two to three years. Even if updates takes months I will still push on writing this story so there is still hope. So I thank you for reading and again I am sorry for misfortune. Btw battle music on wattpad ;).
