World Of The Supreme Kai

Kibito and Supreme Kai teleported back to their home only to see that training was still going on. Kuzuku was a bit "calmer" now but was still struggling. Elder Kai was also reading the same magazine that he was reading earlier but was aware enough to sense the two Kai's arrive.

"Ah, so you're back eh? I assume that the talks went well." Elder Kai raised an eyebrow.

"Yes Elder, but I can only hope that the reinforcements will be enough. Though I can still sense three other extremely high powers that are not Kugeki."Supreme Kai worried.

"I was afraid of that part so I saved you the trouble of finding people who are strong enough to face them. I got in contact with Whis to have Goku and Vegeta return home immediately to help aid them in this fight." Elder Kai explained.

"That's wonderful ancestor! That means we don't have to worry about training Kuzuku right? Goku and Vegeta should be strong enough." Supreme Kai cheered.

"No, I don't think that even they could even confront Kugeki despite having the option of fighting him together. Heck, I'd take a bet that those three powers may be able to give them quite a hassle." Elder Kai corrected making the two younger Kais sweat.

Back With Gohan

A pebble seemed to break off the edge of what seemed to be a ginormous whole that was deep into the Earth. Looking closer into the endless pit was none other than the half-breed who was holding onto a ledge. His Gi, was half torn and was bruised everywhere. Blood had even trickled down his face from his forehead as well. Meanwhile Xenon was floating above the crater, waiting for any sign of life to emerge.

"Darn, Videl isn't going to be happy if she saw me like this. However, this guy was able to catch on to my plan quickly and effectively neutralized it through the use a grapple move. It wouldn't have matter how much I reacted, if I am grabbed then it would only result to something like what just had happen now." Gohan thought

"Damn it!" Gohan cursed under his breath as he hoisted himself out of the crater. He then met face to face with Xenon who as starting to get bored.

"Do you now comprehend the predicament you are in? You should join us and serve under the rule of Kugeki. You are strong and smart in battle but your purpose in 'protecting' this planet and it's lowly inhabitants is being wasted. I'd advise you to make the smart decision and give your meaningless existence some substantial meaning." Xenon offered. Gohan started to chuckle a bit at this sudden proposal.

"Sorry as generous as the offer may seem I will have to decline. Having a wife and kid is all I need to have meaning in my existence. Protecting this planet ensures their safety in which that is what I attend to do!" Gohan declined, charging at Xenon with the remaining energy that he has left. He aimed a punch at Xenon's face but was swiftly dodged, leaving him wide open for an elbow to the back of his neck. The blow was strong enough to send him crashing to the ground face first. His body seemed to have went numb from the blow as he stumbled trying to get up. Red energy started to illuminate the area as Xenon charged his attack.

"I suppose you were worthy enough for my acknowledgement but this is where your grave shall be. Farewell." Xenon said, fire the death blast at the half-breed. Gohan struggled to move as it all seemed so meaningless to do so. All he could do was close his eyes and somewhat accept his death here until a stray Ki blast deflected the attack into outer space, detonating it and causing the whole area to shake. Xenon became alert of someone else nearby and looked at the two figures that were landing in front of the half-breed. Gohan looked up to see his savior and smiled with relief.

"Fa-Father!? Vegeta?!" Gohan stuttered but grunted in pain when he felt his shoulder swollen up.

"Yeah we're here Gohan. You did well and I am surprised by how much stronger you trained. I am proud of you for holding your own against someone this strong. Now go get some rest, I just notified Krillin to get some from Korin." Goku assured. Vegeta stepped forward to get a better look at the enemy at hand.

"Kakarot, I will take this one myself. He seems powerful and worthy of my time." Vegeta claimed.

"Alright Vegeta, I will take Gohan somewhere safe with my instant transmission. Good luck." Goku encouraged.

"I don't need luck as I am the prince of all Saiyans" Vegeta smirked. Goku nodded and grabbed Gohan, teleporting them both out of the battlefield. The prince and general were now squared off.

"So, it seems our little scheme finally lured you out." Xenon noted.

"Hmph, is that what you wanted to accomplish. I know you had a death wish and all but all you needed to do was come to us nicely and I'd be happy to oblige." Vegeta scuffed.

"How arrogant. I will tell you this for you...obligations. We've planted four different generators that are linked with our Ki. As long as we live they will continue to sap the energy from this planet like a snake would do to his prey." Xenon said

"Who is this 'we'?" Vegeta asked.

"For starters it consists of Me, and my two lieutenants . The last one is none other than our leader Kugeki who is the strongest among all of us." Xenon answered.

"Seems fine by me. Just means that we have to kill each one of you one by one." Vegeta smirked, turning Super Saiyan Blue right off the bat. A gust of wind ruptured the area with its immense pressure.

"So this is the power that we seek to defeat. How fascinating." Xenon said getting into a more serious stance while Vegeta would go on to do the same.

Rocky Terrain

The ground seemed to consist of black soil that matched with the rocky terrain. The area seemed scorched from years of volcanic activity and was the perfect isolated environment for someone to hide until the planet was destroyed. That someone was lieutenant Krad who had finished off a particular Astack earlier. He only stood and waited for someone to come and fight him. The environment was initially warm until something changed its temperature drastically to something else. A cold breeze and high power level alerted the commander that someone was approaching. Someone who could only be described as "one hundred percent pissed".

"It seems that you've seen the result of what I did to your friend..." Krad said getting off the cliff and jumping down to face the Astack. Zugo only continued to walk as the area was starting to freeze up from his Ki emitting. Zugo stopped at a certain fixed distance, contemplating on what he had to do next. His expression was hidden from the bangs of his hair, but it was definitely noticeable that he was frustrated.

"I advise you to turn back now and maybe I will spare you the same fate. You must be struggling with the feeling of getting revenge but that feeling would only lead you to your de-" Krad warned.

"Shut up." Zugo interrupted.

"Pardon?" Krad said.

"I told you to shut up, I don't need your damn pity. All I need is to kill you and get this over with so I can calm myself down." Zugo snapped.

"You wish for me to be silence in order to focus on killing me? How naive you are to think you can defeat me Ast-" Krad paused when he noticed Zugo was already behind him in his Stage 2 form, ready to strike. He turned around and blocked the punch that flared their two Ki together. One being blue and the other light brown.

"Such haste and rage." Krad noted before proceeding to deflect a barrage of punches and kicks. Zugo gritted his teeth as his eyes were dilated with rage. He continued to push on with his onslaught, not caring about any battle tactics or the fact that he could tire himself out. The two exchanged blows, creating pillars of debris from the mere power of their punches.

Zugo eventually gave up on that approach and decide to unleash a barrage of Ki blast at Krad who was starting to evade each one through maneuvering in the air. Krad then found an opening to slip through and charged right at Zugo with frightening speeds, ramming his fist into him with such force that you could see a gust of air pass through his body.

The enraged Astack gasp for air and coughed out blood before receiving another punch across the face that would send him flying into several rock formation before crashing into a wall. Zugo grunted in pain before nearly getting his face bashed by another punch that went through the rock. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zugo kneed him in the stomach which actually caused some damage to the lieutenant and went in for a reverse kick that allowed him to gain some distance.

The two would then take off at light speed, clashing blow for blow once more and leave visible representations of there power all over the sky. Krad had then landed a kick that would bring Zugo back down to Earth, but the Astack had recovered just enough to reduce his fall enough to use his feet as friction to stop himself from skidding across the ground. Krad had dashed right back at Zugo and threw a punch to his ribs but Zugo saw this coming and deflected the punch to the left. To retaliate, Zugo went in for a double high roundhouse kick to the head in which it was evaded easily as Krad flipped backwards and went in for another jab at Zugo who deflected it to the side. Krad then went in for a high kick of his own but was block effortlessly, allow Zugo to have a opening for a punch to the face. But the lieutenant was too swift for him as he managed to weave under the punch and flip Zugo over his shoulder. The Astack managed to get onto his feet but stumbled backwards a bit, leaving him wide open for another devastating blow, this time being a knee to his stomach. Zugo gasped for air and had little time to block a palm strike that did damage through his guard, sending him rocketing into a glacier that was made by Zugo's Ki.

"How disappointing, that the Astackian race was reduced to mere specimen such as these. You and your friend are merely dust mites compare to Isshin." Krad said. Zugo's heightened ears managed to catch on to what he had said. His eyes grew wide with rage for some reason at the mention of his name.

"What did you say!? How do you know my father's name!?" Zugo shouted, launching icicle spikes that stemmed from the ground at the lieutenant. Krad evaded each one of them and destroyed the last one that was aimed at his face while dashing right at the Astack, grabbing him by the throat and ramming him across the ground until he slammed him into another wall.

"So you're his son? He was a great warrior, and could of been a wonderful asset in our army. We offered him a high role when he displayed power that caught our master's eye. He was an interesting fellow, cunning to say the least. But he was soft, weak hearted at that. He said to me he had a son that was his pride and joy. To think that I would meet that same son of his years later. The thing that pretty much preoccupied his time and prevented him from joining us on our conquest." Krad emphasized before ramming his fist into Zugo's stomach, causing him to cough up blood that splattered onto his cheek.

"Isshin, the strongest of your race at the time, reduced to a mere weakling in a matter of moments. Rumor has it that he was killed in battle while defending your people's sacred treasure. To think that his death would be as pitiful as that." Krad added.

'You don't know a damn thing that you're talking about! He died protecting something that would prevent the lives of millions being lost!" Zugo retorted.

"And is what you say really true? I can tell by your eyes that something more is behind his death. Is it guilt? Yes it must be that." Krad questioned. Zugo went silent as the memory of his father's death went through his mind again.

"So, something did happened that caused his death early. That silence from the words that I said proves it. You, must of been to cause his death didn't you?" Krad assumed. Zugo didn't say another word, giving him the answer he wanted.

"How ironic, the very thing that he vowed to spend his life with was the cause of his death. And here is his son today, on the brink of death with no one to see him die. How fitting scenarios like this can be sometimes." Krad amused. Zugo grunted under his teeth and generated two more spikes that rammed themselves into the lieutenant, sending him flying backwards and gaining some distance as he landed on his feet upright. Krad proceeded to dust the frost off himself as he stared at the Astack with curiosity, wondering what he was feeling at the moment.

"I know that I screwed up badly, causing my fathers death by abandoning my position. Then my childhood friend was killed after he gave the orders for me to leave off and chase after your 'men'. I should of been more careful, but this time. Right here and right now, I will make up for that by taking you down..." Zugo said.

"And how will you do that?" Krad asked. The thought of Riley passed through his mind.

"By risking it all." Zugo muttered as his Ki flared to life again. A small tornado of frosty wind covered the Astack's figure. Zugo's hair started to grow more wild and longer. His fangs were more noticeable and the markings that went to his arms trailed stems of itself up to his face and over his eyes. He then opened them to reveal them to be royal blue and slitted with a black sclera. There was also a noticeable thin wolf-like tail that wagged around. He started to take one step out of the tornado that surrounded him, dispersing it and revealing his new transformation in full sight. His blue aura raged with static all over as he walked through the now completely frozen ground. Krad for the first time was shocked by this accomplishment.

"Remarkable, you've achieved the final stage at a young age." Krad praised. Zugo merely exhaled and spoke.

"I was saved so many times and had many sacrifices given for me. But not this time around. I will be the one making the sacrifices alone and only I will go through with it all. So come at me, because I will make sure you don't walk out of here alive. That's what allowed me to reach this level of my true form, Solus."

A/N:The form Zugo achieves is known as the final stage of the Astackian race. It is rare among the race's people and is only obtained when someone accepts their faults truthfully and comes to a serene decision. Through accepting his faults completely and walking pass his trauma (The death of his father and Hudo against Krad) allows him to achieve this new found power. The final stage is the referred to name as it's real name is based off what the type of trauma or troubles an Astack overcomes and how he chooses to resolve it in this case Zugo names it Solus as that's what his form is based off. He chooses to standing his ground for the rest of his comrades alone, being the force that would bare the responsibility and standing as the alpha. Willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others is a simple way to put it on how he ultimately obtains this form.

Meanwhile With Piccolo

The battle so far for Piccolo could only be interpreted as one thing. A one sided annihilation. Kugeki was simply too fast for him to seemingly track and his overwhelming power proved evident as he managed to land a blow in the Namekian's stomach, sending him flying into the clouds. Piccolo's Chaos Namekian state proved to be worthless against his power as he was sent rocketing towards the ground with a jaw breaking punch to the face. His Chaos Namekian state seemed to have shut down when he collided with the ground, creating a large crater in the Earth. Kugeki floated just above the ground, examining the Namek getting up for more.

"This is disappointing. You are far weaker than the Saiyan that I defeated earlier. I can take that you are aware of that so why try and fight against me knowing that the end result will be the same." Kugeki asked. Piccolo stumbled as he tried to get up from the ground. He eventually found the strength to straighten himself up and smirked.

"Is that so? Gagh! Then I better start getting series." Piccolo muttered, coughing out blood from trying to speak. Kugeki stared at him, wondering if the Namekian had become delirious from the blows that he had received. Piccolo tensed his body as orange like energy started to swirl around him as his skin seemed to become dark green, nearly black if you were to look at it differently. He bent his knees and released his energy in full burst as his eyes glowed orange. A bright flash enveloped the area, creating a hole in the ground beneath the Namek. His eyes were shining for a moment until it dissipated, revealing them to have a black sclera with glowing orange pupils. His body also had outlines over his muscles that glowed orange.

With Vegeta

Vegeta around this same time sensed Piccolo's power and smirked.

"So the damn slug finally got power worth showing. Guess I'd have to acknowledge him a bit more from now on" Vegeta smirked catching the attention of Xenon.

"What's so amusing? Aren't you going to fight me?" Xenon asked

"Don't worry about that, just thought of something funny." Vegeta assured as he turned back to the fight.

Back With Piccolo

Kugeki floated there, impressed by the Namekian's new transformation.

"You shouldn't be dozing off too much. It may cost you." Piccolo muttered as he was instantly right behind him, ready to deliver a back hand punch. Kugeki turned around instantly to counter his strike with his, creating a gust of wind that shook the surrounding area. The two stared each other down as they struggle for control. Kugeki decided to throw a punch but Piccolo spun around it while simultaneously delivering several blows across his stomach. But those blows didn't slow him down enough to follow up with a spinning overhead kick that was aimed at Piccolo's head. Piccolo quickly vanished and attempted to strike him from behind but was met with an afterimage. Piccolo instinctively shot from behind only to see that nothing was there until he quickly dodged the kick from his side. Kugeki however didn't give him room to breath as he was on him with an onslaught of punches, leaving shockwaves everywhere they went.

The Namek eventually overpowered Kugeki by landing a punch across his face that sent him flying straight into the ground. Piccolo landed down quickly and dashed right at Kugeki before he could get up, pummeling him with a barrage of punches when the distance was closed. Kugeki was actually taking damage through each hit and was getting pushed back. This was evident when Piccolo managed to land yet another clean blow to the stomach and kick to the face. Kugeki's feet skidded across the ground until he came to a full spot. Piccolo exhaled and got back into a stance as he waited for his next move. There was a moment of silence until something unexpected happened. Kugeki smirked and let out a chuckle.

'Hehehe, to think that I'd actually received damage in battle. After all these years, no one has yet to land a blow against me." Kugeki noted.

"Glad I can accommodate on that." Piccolo smirked with confidence. So far this fight had been going his way and he'd like to keep it that way.

"I think that I underestimated you Namek, you are far stronger than that Saiyan I fought." Kugeki commented.

"I will become a bit...what do you call it again? Yes, more serious." Kugeki said with a small hint of excitement. His speed seemed to increase several folds as even Piccolo in his new form couldn't track him. Almost unnoticeable, Piccolo was sent from one spot to several mountains in mere seconds. The Namek coughed out blood when he made contact with the cold ground and gained several scrapes all over his body. He got up slowly, barely catching the sight of a Ki blast hurled his way. Piccolo dodged it narrowly but was still grazed by it, sending him flying a bit as it blew off several mountain tops with it's force. Piccolo was awestruck by the power that he felt from the blast. So awestruck that he didn't notice a Kugeki was already next to him. The former apprentice rammed his fist into the Namek, causing him to cough out blood. He held it there to generate a Ki blast that sent him straight into the sky before crashing to the ground like a bomb, exploding and destroying the area.

At Capsule Corp Home

Videl was with Chi Chi and Bulma in a distressed state. Gohan had left suddenly in the morning and hasn't been back for nearly hours on end. She went to Chi Chi for emotional support who had tried everything to ease her stress. They decided it was best for them to have a girls chat for the time being while Trunks, Goten, Pan, and the Pilaf gang all hanged out together in Trunks's room.

"I don't know what to do gals. He's never been so quick to run off without telling me anything." Videl sighed.

"There must of been a reason Videl. He wouldn't have not told you about something if it wasn't too worrisome." Bulma comforted.

"Yeah I know my Gohan and if I learned anything from being Goku's wife, these Saiyans wouldn't try to over stress their wives if it was too dangerous even for them. It's been that way since Raditz showed up." Chi Chi assured.

"Yes thank you Chi Chi, Bulma. I appreciate the support very much. I just don't want Pan to be without a father despite us having dragon balls." Videl smiled a bit. In mere moments, sounds of instant transmission startled the girls. They all turned around to see Goku holding up an unconscious and beaten Gohan over his shoulder. Everyone ran over to check on what had happened.

"Gohan! Gohan are you okay?! Please wake up!" Videl panicked. Goku let out a slight chuckle.

"Don't worry, he's roughen up but he's been through worse." Goku reassured.

"Goku, where have you been these passed few days!? The field needed tending you know!" Chi Chi scolded causing the Saiyan to shrink.

"Uh, I was training with Whis-sama, along side with Vegeta hehehe." Goku chuckled nervously at the furious energy of his wife. His expression then went serious after he gained composer.

"But there is no time for that now. Right now, there are people scattered across the planet that seem to be sapping the Earth's energy. They seem to be very strong since they were able to take down Gohan so easily. I...also can't sense Hudo meaning that he's been killed..." Goku explained. Everyone was shocked at what they had heard until Goku continued.

"I can sense Piccolo is currently fighting someone very powerful despite him being stronger than ever. Perhaps close to my level of strength. But that guy's ki...it's almost like Beerus. I don't know who he is, but all I know is that I must try to stop him before it's too late. I need you to watch after Gohan. I manage to give him some of my energy so he will be okay. Krillin is getting senzu beans soon so stay with him for now." Goku ordered. Before he could leave, Chi Chi tugged his shoulder, giving him a teary look. Goku smiled and gave her the thumbs up before teleporting to where Piccolo is.

Meanwhile At The Same Time

"Huff* Huff*" Piccolo panted for air. His Gi was completely blown off, revealing his damaged body as he stood center of a large crater. Kugeki floated down to meet him as he coughed out more blood from his mouth.

"Its funny how things always turn out like this. Its to be expected when commanding a army such as mine. Having no one to oppose you is one of the most relishing feeling you can ever experience. If I were to say 'Go into the deep, abyssal ocean and die for me' they would be loyal enough to go with my commands without question. If I longed for something that was only in the lowest depths of the sea, they would do anything in their power to please me, even if it had meant sacrificing their very soul to the devil himself. They would still do it, bwhahahahahahah! Such is when fear is implanted into a person's very core is when true loyalty emerges. A fear that forces others to follow you to victory, casting aside everything irrelevant to that." Kugeki laughed. Piccolo grunted in pain before challenging his ideals.

"So you're saying that casting aside all your fears to follow someone blindly, is the path to victory?" Piccolo questioned.

"That's precisely it." Kugeki smirked.

"That fear you speak off is also an essential part in a battle. Yes you sometimes have to face adversaries who are well above your level but it also keeps you on your toes." Piccolo countered.

"Incorrect, fear makes you indecisive in moments that allow you to achieve glory. But since you want to argue that you think better, let me show you what it really feels like to be in true fear." Kugeki denied. His power seemed to rise exponentially as his energy started to shake the very fabric of the Earth. His aura seemed to change the weather as purple lightning raged around in the sky before he let his energy burst out like a bomb. Shockwaves of his Ki desolated all the surrounding mountains as Piccolo was struggling to not lose his footing. When it seemed to dial down, Piccolo's expression was full of what is called true fear as he watched Kugeki's figure reveal himself. His hair turned completely dark purple as his body had black markings all over himself. His purple eyes shined brightly as he smirked at Piccolo's bewildered face. In mere moments Kugeki slugged the Namekian across the face and kneed him into the stomach, sending him flying into the sky, only to be knocked around like a rag doll before getting stomped right back down to Earth.

"How pitiful." Kugeki muttered as his foot was on top of the deformed Namekian. Above him Goku teleported just in time to see his green friend get defeated.

"PICCOLOOOOO!" Goku yelled after witnessing this overwhelming enemy first hand.

A/N: And Chapter is finished. Just want to make quick note of the reveal of Piccolo's new power. It's pretty much the evolve version of a Chaos Namekian through the method I explained in a couple of chapters ago. The form name is referred as Primal Namekian. Any who, hoped you enjoyed this chapter and see you next time.
