Continuing From Where Last Chapter Left Off
The situation had was now at a standstill for a moment as Vegeta was definitely down for the count while Black seemed to be allied with Zamasu. Goku could only look up as he saw who was scheming with Black this whole time. The two snickered at the face of those who oppose them and their godly might.
"Zamasu, you fiend. Your working with Black this whole time!" Goku growled as he got up from the ground. Zamasu merely chuckled at his remark, showing how little he cared of the Saiyans opinion.
"You call me a fiend? I am merely working side by side with a comrade who understands my ideals. We are merely doing righteousness for the universe," Zamasu corrected.
"Yeah, killing a whole race of people who didn't do anything wrong is definitely something a sane person would label as 'righteousness'. I am sure you'd fine more people who can agree with you on that. I mean the universe sure is a big place, am I right?" Kuzuku growled sarcastically.
"Cheeky way to put it but of course you fail to understand the path I chose," Zamasu glared.
"Yup and it sure is a questionable one," Kuzuku muttered.
"All I am doing is creating a utopia. One that will cater to the gloriousness of the god and in that world, humans are simply not needed hence why they should be eradicated," Zamasu proclaimed while clenches his fist.
"Just what are you on about?!" Goku snapped while getting into a stance.
"Hmph, in this just world I am aiming to create, mortals shall simply not exist is what I am implying," Zamasu smirked.
"Not if I can help it!" Goku roared, charging at Zamasu with his Ki powered up. The Kai blocked the punch that generated a gust of wind. Goku noticed that the Ki radiated from his hand seemed darker. More sinister and with the tendency to emit murderous intent.
"Something is different about him? He's definitely gotten more sinister," Goku noted
Goku and Zamasu began to exchange blow for blow with Goku having to avoid and block deadly strikes from the evident Ki blade in his hand. Zamasu eventually slipped through a punch and maneuvered around Goku with a devious smile across his face.
"Most of all, you Saiyans are unrefined, so much so that you'd dare raise your fist against a god. For that alone...you must be particularly unneeded in my utopia!" Zamasu said as spun around and attempted a swing at Goku's neck but the hero of Earth blocked it with ease. Pushing his Ki enhanced hand off, Goku proceeded to unleash a barrage of kicks all over Zamasu's body before the Kai had enough of his so called "atrocities". Zamasu dodged one of his kicks and aimed to penetrate Goku's chest with his Ki blade but the Saiyan was quick enough to defend himself, resulting in him to be sent flying into the streets of a destroyed sitting.
Goku looked back for a moment before flipping himself up right as his feet landed on the cracked ground. As soon as he looked up, all he could see was a barrage of purplish Ki blast launched right at him, forcing him to perform a series of flips to evade. As soon as Goku avoid the last of the assault, he caught glimpse of a shadowy figure moving through the smoke. The smoke dispersed quickly as it revealed Black ready to slash the hero of Earth. Goku quickly moved out of the way as the Ki blade struck the ground so hard that it created an eruption of debris. Goku landed back on his feet only to noticed the building behind him crack and crumbled at the excess force that Black unleashed.
"He tried to strike me down from my blind spot. Clever bastard!" Goku uttered. Black chuckled as Zamasu landed next to him.
"I thought we established that Son Goku would be mine to kill?" Zamasu said.
"Sorry but this body can't hold itself back any longer. It want him right now and I can't seem to help myself," Black smirked, pointing his Ki blade at the Saiyan.
"I suppose it was unavoidable. If that's what your desires are then I shall allow it, but...let's put an end to the Saiyan know as Son Goku together!" Zamasu smiled sinisterly, charging at the Saiyan with Black at his side. Goku was debating on who was going to strike as he noticed Black was beginning to accelerate faster than Zamasu, indicating that Black was going at him first. Goku was ready to advance until he caught whim of his look-alike slowly down, letting Zamasu go in for the swing first. He was able to dodge the Ki blade by a hair but that pretty much left him wide open for Black to strike him down. Goku could only watch as he saw the blade fast approaching until Black was suddenly kicked into a building by someone. Zamasu cursed as someone else came to his aid before he was suddenly blasted away by a energy wave. The wave pushed the Kai through several buildings before exploding. Goku blinked for a moment as he finally noticed that Kuzuku had kicked Black while in Super Saiyan 3 while Trunks covered him with a Final Flash. Before Goku could even utter a word, Black had powered up even more while Zamasu returned back to the fight without a scratch. The three remaining Saiyans face back to back as their enemies surrounded them from both sides.
"I thought I told you to stay back, Kuzuku?" Goku muttered.
"Sorry, but standing around was never my strong suit. Besides I am technically not doing what you asked. I am saving my trump card like you asked," Kuzuku replied.
"Actually I think we better stop pulling our punches and go all out now. I've gotten a pretty good gauge on how strong they are now so it's about time you let loose," Goku smirked. Kuzuku didn't say a word and simply nodded as his power suddenly began to skyrocket, startling both Black and Zamasu. Trunks could only look back in awe at what was about to happen. Without warning a pillar of amber energy erupted into the sky, causing orange particles to fall down upon them. Kuzuku grew fur that had turn dark red and his became more spiked out, indicating that he had transformed. He opened his orange eyes as the orange bio-electricity flickered like fire.
"Alright you two, I hope this is what you wanted. Because in mere moments, you guys are not gonna want what I am. From here on out, things are about to get ugly," Kuzuku warned, emitting out a power shockwave that startled Black and Zamasu.
"What is this transformation?" Zamasu grunted. The two seemed infuriated by the power Kuzuku was emitting but Black quickly regained his composer and started clapping.
"Magnificent, I didn't expect that the Saiyans would come this far without the use of a divine transformation. How unsettling that it would be something as vulgar and primal as that but its power is definitely worth noting. You have my praise, really but that transformation is nothing compared to my divinity," Black mused. Kuzuku merely smirked at what was about to happen next.
"Alright then, here I come oh almighty god," Kuzuku said, punching several times so hard that the air would release a gust of wind. Black went on to kick away each of the air pressure attacks away before Kuzuku instant transmission himself next to Black, catching him off guard before ramming his fist into his stomach. Kuzuku wasn't done there as he unleashed several Kiai that pulsed through his body before punching Black hard in the face, sending him crashing into a building so hard that it created a giant hole.
"You underestimate us Saiyans too much. Assuming things like that will only get you killed," Kuzuku said. Almost instantly, Black flared his Ki back to life and flew back to face the Saiyan.
"Oh I definitely felt that one Saiyan, I must applaud you for the experience. Its not everyday that you get to encounter strength like this," Black smirked, charging at Kuzuku with somehow greater speed than before. Kuzuku dodge and stab from Black's Ki Blade.
"Sorry Black, but your gonna hav-," Kuzuku stopped mid sentence as he notice the blade somehow turned itself into a Ki blast that was aimed towards another target.
"Goku! Move out of the way!" Kuzuku warned but he was too late. Goku turned around in mere moments before he was blasted from behind. The explosion was so grand that, Trunks was blow away by the sheer force of it. A gust of wind blew the smoke away as it revealed a stunned Goku who was shivering in pain before he fell to the ground, deforming from Super Saiyan Blue. Kuzuku and Trunks watch in horror as that makes another comrade down for the count and the three on two advantage was now plunged down into the abysmal sea of despair. Black smirked devilishly as his Ki blade returned to his hand.
"Now that we got him out of the way, I don't have to worry about anyone coming to your aid." Black said, turning towards Kuzuku who was already helping Goku off the ground.
"Goku, Goku! Say something!" Kuzuku panicked. Goku gritted in agony before letting out a few words.
"Damn it! I really should take Whis's advice more seriously. I let my guard down," Goku cursed. Kuzuku was sweating as he was now stuck on a two on two. He quickly locked on to Vegeta's faint energy and teleported Goku to him before coming back quickly enough to aid Trunks. The two were now face to face once again with both enemies pincering them from both sides.
"Kuzuku, what now?" Trunks asked.
"Don't worry, we still got this. All I can say is that this fight isn't going to be easy," Kuzuku replied. There was a dead silence as the heroes waited for the villains to make the first move. After what seemed to be a moment of eye contact, Zamasu and Black fired simultaneous Ki blast, forcing both Saiyans to leap into the air. Without warning, Zamasu charged pass Trunks and aimed at Kuzuku with a Ki blade, distracting him from Black who landed a knee in the stomach. Kuzuku winced in pain before blocking a slash at his should but this left him open to be kicked in the neck. Black threw Kuzuku around a bit with his leg before getting thrown towards a building.
"Kuzuku!" Trunks cried, chasing after to aid his ally but Zamasu intervened by attempting to cut down Trunks who blocked with his sword. Trunks kicked Zamasu away in hopes to gain some distance but the Kai wasn't having it and charged back at him.
Meanwhile, Kuzuku flipped himself onto the building, only to bare witness to Black coming at him with his Ki blade ready, smiling as he unleashed a barrage of reddish pink Ki blasts. Kuzuku glided on the side of the building, avoiding each blast with great haste. Through one of the smokes that were created from explosive debris, Black lunged forward as his blade sliced the building vertically. Kuzuku saw an opening and used instant transmission to allow Black to pass by, eventually destroying the top. Black was shocked that the Saiyan disappeared from his sights, only to see Kuzuku teleport behind him with his fingers on his forehead.
"You're wide open," Kuzuku noted darkly before attempting to land a decisive blow on Black. Black smirked as he quickly brought his fingers to his forehead before teleporting away from the kick. Kuzuku's eyes widened as Black reappeared behind with a Ki blast ready in hand. Kuzuku was too late to turn around as he was blasted clean in the stomach. The blast pushed Kuzuku towards the plaza, crashing and destroying the debris around him. The dust cleared to reveal the Saiyan in a crater with pretty bad bruises.
"Damn it, I didn't expect him to know instant transmission as well," Kuzuku grunted. He slowly lifted himself off the ground as Black smiled at him.
"This isn't good. I didn't expect his Rose transformation to be this powerful. It's as if he has no drawbacks when transformed. But that strength is overshadowed by his quick decisions and adapted fighting style. Despite me still having a power advantage, he's manage to outwit me through forcing me to defend his Ki blade, landing strikes in-between so he can hopefully slow me down for the killing blow. It doesn't help that he also abuses the Zenkai's better than any Saiyan," Kuzuku thought.
As Kuzuku pondered on what to do next, Trunks was fighting Zamasu in a heated battle. Zamasu dodged the onslaught of slashes from Trunks's sword, before he felt a rock tip his balance. Trunks noticed this and took the opportunity.
"Now take this!" Trunks yelled, lunging his sword into Zamasu's gut. Trunks smirked as he thought he won until Zamasu literally grabbed the blade and pulled into out of him. Trunks was stricken back with shock as he leaped away, as Zamasu laughed evilly. His wound seemed to heal itself right before the future warriors eyes.
"His wound...healed itself that fast!" Trunks awed. Black took the chance and blasted Trunks sword away. With nothing to defend himself, Black attempted to attack Trunks until he felt someone coming his way.
"I'm your opponent Black!" Kuzuku yelled. The two began to exchange blows almost evenly, with Kuzuku gaining the edge. While distracted, Zamasu leaped into the air, ready to slice Trunks in two but the half-breed was quick enough to catch his hand before it made contact. The two stared at each other with hate and intensity.
"You foolish, primitive mortals who was blessed with the wisdom of god, use that wisdom for your own gain! You must be purged!" Zamasu criticized.
"How dare you try and claim it as personal gain! Don't try to insult us mortals based on your self-centered standards!" Trunks roared, twisting Zamasu's hand before kicking him in the face. While he was stunned, Trunks rammed his fist into Zamasu's stomach before reverse side-kicking him in the stomach. Kuzuku smirked at what he saw as their training paid off before deflecting a punch downwards from Black. The faker's eyes widened as he was punched down towards his comrade that was getting up slowly from the ground. Trunks quickly ran over to grab his sword and placed it back into his sheath before preparing the finishing blow.
"FINAL FLASH!" Trunks roared firing the energy wave at the enemies who had just slowly gotten of the ground. Zamasu stared emotionlessly as he stepped in front of Black, taking the hit for him as it exploded. Without knowing, Kuzuku landed next to Trunks as the dust was beginning to clear. The two watch intently in anticipation as they waited for the dust to reveal the after effects of the attack. But that never happened as it only revealed Zamasu who was unscathed by the attack while Black was behind him.
"What!? That's impossible!" Kuzuku dumbfounded. Zamasu began to laugh under his breath as he glared at the two Saiyans sinisterly.
"This immortal body that can only be blessed to a god...is beneficial to me," Zamasu said darkly.
"An immortal body...," Trunks muttered
"Yes, Trunks. Thanks to you Saiyans, I have come to the conclusion that I need a body that is immortal," Zamasu confirmed.
"That explains everything. The time when Trunks landed a direct hit from his Final Flash while in Super Saiyan 2 but yet he wasn't damaged at all. The fact he was stabbed point blank and then was blasted once more with the same attack. It was because the bastard is immortal!" Kuzuku gritted.
"How observant of you, Saiyan. I must admit you are deemed worthy of me asking for your name," Zamasu said.
"Its Kuzuku," Kuzuku answered blatantly with an unwavering glare.
"Well, Kuzuku...Trunks, for your atrocities against god. You shall receive absolute retribution for your actions!" Zamasu exclaimed. Kuzuku narrowed his eyes until he noticed that Black wasn't behind him anymore. He quickly turned around to see Black at point blank range with a Kamehameha already charged up.
"Trunks! Quick, grab on before h-," Kuzuku was cut off as Zamasu quickly grabbed the two Saiyans while they were distracted. Black smiled devilishly before he let it rip.
"Ha!" Black said as he fired his Black Kamehameha. The wave engulfed the two Saiyans including Zamasu before it exploded, rupturing the area with its force. The dust cleared quickly, unraveling a unharmed Zamasu holding two defeated Saiyans. The Kai threw them to the ground like garbage and started to laugh maniacally as they ached in pain.
"I can't believe it, despite having four of us, they still...," Trunks cursed. The partners in crime flew into their air as Kuzuku had already deformed back into base.
"Let's finish off these mortals before they cause problems later," Black said.
"Yeah," Zamasu replied as the two raised their hands into the air. Both of them created two contrasting orbs before it combined into one that was enormous in size. Kuzuku cursed under his breath as the situation had come to this.
"Not good...," Kuzuku muttered. The Kai and the faker took one last look at the Saiyans before they had decided to end it.
"Its Over Saiyans!" They yelled in union but before they could throw the energy ball, a combined wave destroyed it, startling the villains. They looked down to see a near-death Goku and Vegeta in their Blue forms. But it was short live as the two were pretty much out of stamina and fell to the ground. Zamasu and Black landed on their feet as they stared at them.
"Tch, to think that these mortals still had that much power left," Zamasu noted.
"No matter, they are now completely out of energy. Nothing can save them now," Black smirked. But he was dead wrong as what seemed to be a smoke grenade, landing in the middle of the plaza. It detonated, catching the two deities off guard.
"What is this!" Zamasu yelled as their vision was blurred by the gas. With great haste, the four Saiyans were swooped away by two vehicles that made the run for it. Zamasu and Black leaped into the air as the gas was beginning to sting their eyes, unknowing that the four Saiyans have been evacuated to safety. When the gas clear, Black and Zamasu were floating above as they had lost sight of their prey.
"Where have they gone," Zamasu said.
"No matter, they couldn't have gone far. We just have to sense their Ki though it may be faint and hard to read," Black noted as he closed his eyes and focus on finding the four runaways.
Somewhere With In the Destroyed City
After sometime, a vehicle made it to the center of a space that was surrounded by rubble in the city. Trunks and Kuzuku rolled over and fell to the ground as they exhaled with relief.
"Thanks Mai, I owe you one," Trunks said.
"Mai? Trunks how could you confuse me for her?" A voice replied. Trunks's eyes widened as the familiarity of the voice was something that he could never doubt. He looked up with teary eyes, only to see that it was none other than someone that he had thought died.
"Mom!" Trunks cried as the woman smiled at him.
"I'm glad your well Trunks," Bulma smiled.
"But mom, how are you alive?! I saw the lab get destroyed right before my eyes!" Trunks asked as he hoisted his body up a bit.
"There is no time to explain Trunks. Do you have the time machine?" Bulma asked. Trunks nodded, handing the capsule that contained the machine to her. She pressed the button and threw the capsule to the ground to cause the machine to appear. On cue, Mai had follow suite with both Goku and Vegeta.
"Right on time as usual Mai," Bulma complimented.
"Sorry it took so long, I had to take a detour route," Mai said. The two woman quickly placed the Saiyans into the machine. Bulma then quickly started to punch in the coordinates as she was impressed that her past self was able to fill the tank with more than enough fuel to make the trip back. After placing the machine on auto-pilot she leaped out of the machine as the hatch closed.
"Mai! Mom! Come on, I can't leave you here! Hurry!" Trunks begged. The two only watched with a smile on their face as they waited for him to take off.
"Sorry Trunks but we got to stay behind and help the others survive," Mai thought. The light went green on the panel, signaling for the machine to take off into the sky.
"MAI! MOM!" Trunks shouted as the machine left them behind and was ready to transport. Black and Zamasu caught glimpse of the device and made an attempt to charge but they were too late as it had already taken them back to the past to recover.
"Tsk, damn Saiyans," Black uttered.
"No matter, they will return and once they do they will meet their end in our newly reformed utopia. All we need to do is wait," Zamasu assured. The two woman sneakily made their way back to the base as they watched them fly back to their cabin that resided in the woods.
Back In The Past/Present Note: F-Trunks Is Back
Trunks was lounging around in the chair as he was enjoying the sunset until he bare witness to numerous particles swirling around in the sky. In seconds the time machine appeared once more, signifying that his father and the others had returned. But the machine descended towards the ground roughly and tipped over, only to have the hatch fly open and spew out the four Saiyans.
"Dad!" Trunks worried. He quickly saw that Vegeta had a stab wound in his chest, while Goku, F-Trunks and Kuzuku were completely battered.
"Dad! Hang in there!" Trunks cried. The sound of Trunks panicking summoned Bulma and 21 along with the Pilaf gang.
"Trunks, what's the matter?" Bulma asked. The sight horrified her as she just witness our heroes laid across the ground in utter defeat.
"Quick, bring them inside, we have to get them some senzu beans before it's too late!" 21 ordered. With that, they each helped carry the Saiyans inside so they can hopefully recover from their defeat against Black and Zamasu.
