The Power of Love Explodes! Universe 2 Attacks!
Zeno scrolls through the Godpad checking the current status of the participating universe. The current standing is Universe 2 has suffered no dropouts. Universe 3 has suffered three dropouts. Universe 4 has three dropouts. Universe 6 has no dropouts. Universe 7 has two dropouts. Universe 9 has been erased. Universe 10 only has four warriors remaining and finally Universe 11 only has four warriors left.
"Hm, they kinda of decreased" Brianne says deep in thought resting her right hand on her chin.
"Yeah they have" a mysterious voice answers back.
"Our saiyan companions don't mess around" another voice chimes in.
"Agreed! We better start doing our part to before they burn themselves out we may need them in the more challenging fights ahead" the first mysterious voices chimes back in. Brianne smiles sweetly.
"Sanka! Su!" she calls out commanding their attention. "Now is the time to show our power!" she winks with a sweet smile holding up her pointer finger. Goku races through the arena seeing No.17 fighting with Dr. Paparoni.
Dr. Paparoni has dark purple skin, pointy ears, white curly hair cut in the shape of a Mohawk, and a matching goatee. He wears a monocle, a white suit with a red neckerchief, and carries a brown staff with a golden end, and a blue orb that sits on top.
"Warriors! Attention!" Brianne calls out to everyone. Zirloin and Jimeze were fighting with Dyspo and Toppo when they heard the maidens call and stopped fighting to depart to the maidens side.
Vikal was fighting against Pancea a large green robotic with large torso and tiny legs.
Vikal stops the fight and flies away calling over to Korn who was fending off attacks from both Botamo and Maji Kayo a shining blue jelly-like humanoid with purple eyes who can effortlessly change his shape.
Maji Kayo has a formless jelly-like state, a short and slim form like an infant but he changes into a large muscular form while fighting. He can also change his body parts individually as he sees fit to aid him during battle. Korn blasts them both away with a ki blast in each hand falling back confused.
"Hey isn't that your universe on the move?" Caulifla asks Peppa who pokes his head out between two rock pillars with his arms crossed. He leans against the rock cool like while Kale rest asleep against a pillar exhausted. Caulifla down on one knee recovering from her injuries she got from fighting the Pride Troopers.
"Yeah, I dunno what their doing" Peppa says cautiously.
"Aren't you going to go rally up with them?" Caulifla asks him.
"No, my place is here till you two recover your strength someone has to watch your back, plus I like to do my own thing and my team has their own thing" Peppa says coldly.
"Whoops! Huh?" Goku stops racing around looking for Jiren when he see Brianne on the pillar overlooking the arena. Next to Brianne on her right is Sanka and on Brianne left is Su. she asks if they are ready. They nod.
"This stuff is best done up high!" Sanka says with excitement.
"Yes! The time has come! Now that our saiyans have cleared the way" Pell yells out in excitement!
"And now lovely flowers shall bloom on the battlefield!" Heles stands up raising her right hand in the air and the left hand across her chest.
"Huh, lovely flowers?" Beerus gives a bored uninterested look.
"What are you saying all of a sudden?!" Champa yells out with his arms in the air toward Heles. Piccolo, Gohan, Master Roshi, and Tien watch Sanka, Brianne, and Su on the pillar confused.
"What is this about?" Goku asks walking forward with Vegeta shadowing him from a high pillar.
"I am a warrior of Universe 2, Brianne De Château!" she turns sideways smirking.
"Sanka Ku!" she puts her hands together and lifts up her right leg smiling.
"Su Roas!" she smiles sweetly with her fists up playfully.
"Let it bloom! Let it ring!" The song of love and victory!" Brianne says in a jubilant tone. Vikal, Jimeze, and Zirloin show up at the base of the pillar with there hand raised in praise. Korn just stands there off to the side blinking. Peppa just face palms himself shaking his head in embarrassment.
"What are they doing? Are they trying to get themselves knocked off?" Peppa just taps his forehead against the side of a rock pillar.
"Come on Korn-sama!" Vikal encourages Korn to join the group but Korn puts up his hand shaking his head no really quickly. "The Song of Love and Victory" they chant outloud.
"Now it's time to transform!" Brianne says outloud. A purple heart felt light surrounds Brianne, than a blue sparkling light around Sanka Ku, and golden yellow light around Su Roas. a blinding purple light shines over the arena for all to see. Korn crosses his arms walking out into the opening near Goku. There paths crossing once more.
"Yo Korn! That's your universe right? Are they powering-up?" Goku asks him. Korn just shrugs looking up at them with a raised eyebrow.
"Looks more like a recital then powering-up" Beerus scuffs.
"Silence!" Heles yells back to him. "This is the ritual!" Heles holds out her hands toward Beerus. "The fighting spirit of of the Universe 2 warriors!" Heles proclaims with pride.
"Is that true Peppa?" Caulifla gives Peppa a questionable look. Peppa frowns looking back at the light. A ki blast flies over Goku and Korn's head hitting the rock where the three maidens where. Peppa and Korn eyes widen in shock. Pell and Heles stare down from the stands in shock. Sour shows no emotion or interest.
"How vulgar! Who dares!" Heles says with anger. No.17 drops down behind Korn and Goku with his left hand over his right wrist still smoking from releasing energy from the palm of his hand. Korn glares at him.
"That was cold man" Korn scolds No.17 who just glares at him.
"No.17 did you just do that?" Goku asks him.
"They were wide open. What's the problem?" No.17 stares blankly at Goku.
"My cousin would do the same thing" Korn scuffs at No.17 who pays him no attention.
"Didn't you hear they were going to transform?" Goku pouts.
"Transform?" No.17 gives an uninterested look.
"Hey!" Brianne, Sansa Ku, and Su Roas run up on No.17. "Listen! Every part of the transformation process has meaning!" the three girls yell at him. "How could you interrupt?" Brianne demands. "And you Korn! Your suppose to protect us what was that?!" Brianne looks over at Korn who jaw drops with a silly grin. Korn rubs the back of his head embarrassed.
"I get that feeling!" Toppo yells out running up on them sliding in front of the girls puffing his chest out to No.17. Peppa stands there in his hiding spot with the girls his shoulders shoulshed and twitching eye.
"What is this a talent show recital or a tournament to decide the fate of our universes? How can they be so coy with everything" Peppa runs his right hand down his face groaning.
"For a warrior to assume a pose is justice! That was disrespectful you swine!" Toppo scods No.17 who just stands there blinking. Korn's jaw dropped with twitching right eye at Toppo making what he considered embarrassing justice poses his big booty shaking in front of Korn to his disgust.
"Look, lets just let them transform fully" Goku recommends to No.17 who just gives him a cold blank stare. No.17 puts his hands to his side and gestures for the ladies to continue.
"Thank you for understanding" Brianne tells him. No.17 just walks off. Brianne looks at Korn. "Protect us right this time!" she scolds him. Korn just scowls at her.
"You wouldn't need protecting if you didn't stand in the open making our whole universe one big target" Korn says under his voice. Toppo does a front flip and runs off.
"We wont hold back" Brianne and the others say running back to there spot on the pillar.
"That's fine, transform to your heart's content!" Toppo yells over his shoulder as he runs.
"I can't believe we just witnessed that…" Peppa turned his head away completely bewildered and embarrassed.
"Yeah, if they weren't your universe I bet you would have blasted them all off the arena right?" Caulifa pokes him giggling. Peppa grins with approval and holds up his thumb.
"Now show us your full power!" Goku cheers. No.17 sits on a rock a fair distance behind Goku. Korn keeps an eye on the maiden scanning for anymore surprise attacks.
"OKAY!" the girls yells back to Goku.
"That idiot! He's supposed to eliminate his enemies before they go full power" Beerus comments from the stands annoyed.
"It can't be helped. Its Goku after all" Krillin replies to Beerus.
"Once again then!" Heles coughs and orders the maidens to try once more. "And now lovely flowers shall bloom on the battlefield!" Heles recites once more. The girls once again go through the motions and introductions.
"Seriously?" Peppa mutters to himself shaking his head as he watches. Vikal and the others chant the song of love and victory. Korn just stands there arms at his side feeling uncomfortable.
"Sending love and happiness to all!" Brianne transforms into the fat Ribranne. Peppa turns his head almost vomiting in his mouth at the puget site that the beautiful Brianne turned herself into.
"That's a transformation?" Caulifla looks over to Peppa who looked dumbstruck.
"I guess so…" Peppa replies sullenly.
"Howl the wild roar of love!" Sanka Ku yells out transforming into Kakunsa.
"Ok, that transformation is decent" Peppa comments.
"With dreams and magic, the strike of love!" Su Roas yells out transforming into Rozie.
"What are they superheroes?" Korn's jaw dropped in utter dismay.
"Transformation complete!" They all yell out.
"Jeez, I hope I never see anything like that again" Peppa and Korn both said outloud in their respective places in the arena.
"This is the greatest form of Universe 2 warriors" Heles proclaims.
"Is that true? Are they stronger than you?" Caulifla looks over to Peppa and asks him.
"What? No way! I am way more powerful than that ridiculous farce!" Peppa boasts proudly. Goku looks over to Korn.
"So is that-"
"Nope, I'm a Super Saiyan Rose! What do you think" Korn blushes turning his head away. "Heles hasn't seen Peppa and I truly cut loose. If she knew what we were capable of she'd sing a different song of praise" Korn tells Goku confidently.
"Their mortal level may not be sufficient but their love level is the highest in the universe!" Heles adamantly proclaims. Peppa's eyes widened when he gauged the power of the maidens and found it lacking.
"Peppa what is it?" Caulifla saw a sweat drop go down the side of Peppa's face. He turned his head away looking stressed out. Caulifla looked over to Korn and saw him going pale in the face.
"Sufficient mortal level is an understatement…" Peppa scuffs realizing he and Korn will have to literally carry their universe on their shoulders.
"If this is the height of their power level then at this rate…" Korn clenched his fist flashing back to the erasure of Universe 9. "No, Peppa and I have to win no matter what…" Korn mutters to himself. The maidens of love did a cute and sexy pose that excited the Zenos and Vikal, Zirloin, and Jimeze. Even Pell looked excited over the physical expression of their love.
"Dirty old man…no wonder he sought us out…" Korn mutters to himself. Korn glanced passed Pell to see even the stoic Sour who normally had a blank emotionless expression looked on with a very subtle smile.
"Beautiful, your beautiful maidens!" Pell yells out overjoyed feeling good about his universes chances to win all of a sudden. After all he had the maidens of love, their knights, and the saiyans themselves. However, Korn didn't share the same confidence.
"They were cuter before their transformation" Korn mutters to himself.
"Bravo, that is truly justice!" Toppo says with a blush. Korn notices some warriors both in the arena and in the stands took a liking to the maidens of love.
"Huh, so that kinda of transformation exist" Goku takes a fighting stance joined by Vegeta and No.17 who sits on a rock wondering if it's ok to fight yet.
"Now, lets see your power" No.17 gets to his feet ready to fight. Korn stared at No.17 unable to get a read on him let alone sense his power. This perplexed and confused him since he did not know No.17 was an android.
"Here we go!" Ribranne announces.
"Let this emotion…" Vikal, Zirloin, and Jimeze say out loud.
"Reach you!" Ribrianne makes a heart symbol with her hand. Ribranne did a dance that formed a heart out of energy. She floated up with it then started to poke it really fast sending little hearts around the arena. Peppa stood there with a twitching eye.
"You have got to be kidding me" Peppa just stood a ghast.
"Yup, we're getting erased…" Korn mutters to himself.
"What a foul odor" Frieza mutters to himself. Other warriors like Obuni a humanoid being with green skin and long, white hair, Cabba, and others just stood their bewildered blushes on their faces. The hearts started to explode in pink dust. Korn just tilts his head confused.
"The Light of Love" Heles says in a sweet and pleasing voice. "Once bewildered by its sweet aroma it's all over!" Heles says proudly. Korn just glances up at her then back at the warriors around the arena.
"Will see" Korn mutters to himself.
"Unable to resist you will just burn" Heles informs everyone with a bittersweet viciousness. Korn saw Universe 10 warriors who had been knocked out completely enthralled by the maidens of love. Goku was dodging the exploding hearts. Frieza went unaffected. Korn had raised his barrier to protect himself. Peppa was letting the love he felt be turned inward for love of himself. Other warriors were dodging the exploding hearts, jumping through the pink mist and keeping themselves focussed.
"Par, looks like our training has paid off" Master Roshi flips on a pillar with his hands on his hips. His chest puffed out with pride as he goes unaffected by the allure of love. Gohan watches then suddenly gives the orders to the Universe 7 warriors to fight on their own independently. They each run off encouraging the other to not get knocked off. The fights start back up. Each of the Universe 7 warriors pairing off against warriors from other universes.
"How are our gifts of love?" Ribrianne asks to everyone laughing in a mocking tone. The arena is full of pink smoke and fights breaking out everywhere.
"Universe 2 was hiding a real nusanice of a power on top of them bringing saiyans of their own" Beerus had a very displeased look about him.
"They look bizarre, but they really shaken up the tournament" Champa notes.
"Preciously, the true strength by their lovely presence" Heles told everyone in a loving tone with her eyes closed and her right hand on her chest. "Let them burn your eyes!" Heles holds out her left hand cheering on her warriors. Korn's tail starts moving around sporadically. He eyes Jiren walking toward the maidens.
"Oh great, I was afraid of this" Korn teleports a fair distance before Jiren. They glare at one another. A Heart flies at Jiren who uses his right hand to knock it out of his way casually. Jiren holds out his hand charging a ki blast. Korn quickly saw what Jiren was aiming for. "Ribrianne! Move!" Korn yells out. Korn saw the ki blast rip through the sky at the giant heart Ribrianne was using to send out the exploding hearts.
Ribrianne dodged just in time. The heart dispersed and the pink misted cleared the arena. Korn lowered his barrier looking back at Jiren. Horrified. Jiren dealt with that attack as easily as he dealt with Kale.
"Just how strong is this guy?" Korn took a defensive stance backing up. He wanted to test his power against him but Korn's reason won out instead. He rationalized that it be too soon and too dangerous to take on Jiren right now. Especially, when he is needed for a far more important task. Jiren just glares at him lowering his right hand and crossing it with his left.
"That is a stupid attack Universe 2" Vegeta tells Ribrianne turning into a Super Saiyan aiming his right hand at her. "Don't tell me this is your full power after making me wait so long. I do hope your saiyans put up a better fight" Vegeta mocks her.
"You are impatient! That was just a little greeting. The real fight starts now!" Ribrianne tells him. Rozie and Kakunsa look down on Ribrianne floating to the ground where Vikal, Zirloin, and Jimeze ready to go on the attack with Korn landing next to him. Peppa watches from a safe distance hidden between two pillars with Caulifla and Kale.
"Universe 2! Good luck!" Ribrianne yells out. Ribrianne powers-up with a dark pink aura as her and Vegeta punch, kick, and parry one another's attacks as they fall through the air. She laughs in a mocking tone at Vegeta. Peppa just smiles. Watching realizing Ribrianne and him have that in common. Ribrianne punches Vegeta away hurling a powerful ki blast with silver points around a green ki ball. Vegeta dodges sliding back to the ground with a smile on his face. Pleased Ribrianne can at least keep up with him on a Super Saiyan level.
"Maiden's Charge!" Ribrianne curls into a ball doing a front flip till she is spinning really fast into a ball surrounded by her powerful dark pink aura. She hits the ground rolling fast toward Vegeta. Vegeta leans forward getting ready to punch her hard but she he stares at the center of Ribrianne ball he sees her fat ugly face smiling at him and he loses his nerve dodging out of the way shuttering in disgust.
"It was so gross I instinctively dodged it" Vegeta tells himself looking at his hands. Meanwhile Piccolo fights against Universe 10's Jirasen.
Jirasen looks exactly like an Earthling with pink skin, blue hair and green eyes. Jirasen wears a pair of golden bracelets on each wrist, golden earrings and a thin golden crown with a red jewel on his head. His outfit consists of a white skinny ballet-like uniform with a large purple ribbon as belt and blue boots. In fact, he looks a lot like Mister Satan's student, Caroni.
As Piccolo and Jirasen were about to attack one another Ribrianne slams into him much to Piccolo's surprise watching Jirasen go flying off the arena.
"Well that just happened" Korn blinks.
"Man, talk about hit and run" Peppa tells Caulifla as they both laugh.
"Universe 10's Jirasen has dropped out!" the Grand Priest announces.
"How could you end up as collateral damage?!" Rumsshi beats him in the back of the head with his trunk. "Time for punishment!" he continues to beat him with his trunk for his failure.
"Acceptable results" Ribrianne lands back on top of a pillar pleased. "Maiden's great victory number one!" Ribrianne does a cute pose for all to see. Zenos update the Godpad.
"What an amazing Maiden!" Zeno says to the one on the left. "That maiden is amazing!" Zeno on the right says to Zeno on the left. For the first time this catches Korn's attention. He noticed the Zeno's had different speech patterns. Korn also noticed one was right-handed and the other was left-handed. Korn's eyes widen realizing there was a difference between the two Zenos. He would have to tell Peppa about this the next time he saw him.
"Did you see the strike of love? The maiden's explosion?" Heles laughs. "Next" Heles snickers. Rozie fights Goku throwing lighting fast chops that Goku effortlessly blocks but they get faster and faster. Korn watches on amazed with her raw speed. Korn notices Goku is getting pushed back by the attacks.
"The fighting style Rozie has mastered is the Yacchina Fist" Heles beautifully informs everyone. "Her punches become sharper, stronger, and more powerful the more she attacks" Heles snickers.
"Amazing…" Peppa observes Rozie impressed. Goku jumps back, but finds himself now dodging lighting fast ki blast from the Yacchina Fist Style. "They turned into ki blast…" Peppa thinks for a moment uncrossing his arms and looking down at his clenched fist with a smile. "I get it" Peppa grins wickedly.
"Get what Peppa?" Caulifla looks back at Peppa confused.
"She channels her ki into her fist, as she raises her power so does the strength, speed, and precision of her punches and ki blast also go up. Impressive, I must say I never thought about augmenting my ki like that" Peppa smiles wickedly looking back at the fight. Caulifla just blinks at him amazed.
"Did you just…" Caulifla shakes her head. "Your aptitude at learning techniques is amazing" Caulifla looks at him impressed.
"All comes with being a saiyan" he looks at her and winks then turns his head back to the fight. Goku swipes the ki blast away. Goku went to punch one of the ki balls but it stopped before him. He stared for a moment then it hit him in the face.
"Ow…" Goku flaps his hands wildly about in pain.
"Energy manipulation, I like it" Korn studies Rozie movements very careful especially her hand and finger motions.
"Gentle and intense at times" Rozie smirks. "They're flexible attacks, like the heart of a maiden" Rozie takes on a renewed fighting stance. "Yacchina Fist Style!" Rozie gets ready to go on the attack once more.
Kakunsa uses her speed to try to slice and dice No.17 who effortlessly dodges from side to side never once removing his piercing glare from her. Despite Kakunsa fast movements she could not land a blow on No.17. Out of desperation she goes so far as to bite his arm much to his shock.
"Kaksunsa is a beast warrior with the instincts of a wild animal" Heles says with glee. "A hunter who graciously takes down any prey she sets her eyes on" Heles informs everyone in the stands with pride. No.17 flips back and kicks her away. Kaksunsa gives him a serious look.
"My fangs and claws hurt don't they?" Kaksunsa asks No.17. He just glares at her. Kaksunsa backflips into the pillar of rocks and pushes off of it. "You interrupted our transformation receive my vengeance" Kaksunsa yells out making a beeline for No.17. Korn turned his attention to their fight growing more disturbed by his inability to get a read on No.17.
"Even with continuous attacks using the rubble as footing isn't good enough to challenge No.17" Korn had to fight his urge to jump in until he got a better grasp on No.17 abilities. "Even making good use of the ruined fighting stage isn't enough against him" Korn felt his saiyan bloodlust taking over but he had to keep it in as he paced around watching the fights.
"Scratching, biting, leaping around, she is truly wild but this wont be enough. Not to beat him" Korn started to focus solely on this fight.
"The field of rubble is the perfect stage for Kaksunsa to showcase her true power" Heles proudly proclaims. "There's no escaping her relentless attacks from all directions" Heles boast. For Korn all he saw was No.17 evading all her attacks.
"At this rate he is just going to wear her out then finish her" Korn concluded. Korn became annoyed, he would have to step in to save her. The least she could do was show him No.17 real power.
"Wrong!" Heles scolds Korn looking down at him. Korn glances up at her. "Beast warriors have unparalleled stamina and never cease their assaults. Not until their prey falls" Heles educates her young warrior. Korn looks back studying the fight.
"Or until she falls" he mutters in a low voice. Kakunsa makes headway against No.17 slashing at his pant legs, his shoulder and the back of his shirt, she snickers at No.17.
"I've got you know my prey!" Kakunsa pounces on No.17 who defends by raising his light green energy absorption barrier. Pell and Heles stare on in shock. Kaksunsa has been stopped in her tracks.
"Too bad, did you think you had a chance?" No.17 says with cold callous tone.
"You pretended to be weak?" Kaksunsa asks.
"I've got some confidence in my stamina" No.17 replies. "I can't believe you fell for it though" No.17 mocks her.
"Your nothing but prey!" Kakunsa tells him.
"The prey is you" No.17 tells her coldly. No.17 spins the barrier around and shoots her up into the air leaping up after her. Korn uncrosses his arms getting ready to step in if he must to prevent Kaksunsa from being knocked off the stage.
"Later" No.17 kicks her clear across stage in mid-air. For Korn it was like watching it in slow motion. He got ready to use his Instant Transmission ability but saw something lowering his hand instead with a smile. Beerus and the others thought that would be out of bounds for sure but Vikal flew up just in time to allow Kaksunsa to rebound off of her. A Blue aura appears around Kaksunsa as she flies back toward No.17.
No.17 had surprised look on his face before Kaksunsa head butted him in the abdomen. No.17 slams into the ground kicking up dust and breaking the ground further landing into a pile of rubble.
"Vikal!" Kaksunsa nods to her as they both glide back toward the ground.
"Well done! Kakunsa sama!" Vikal congratulated her.
"It's all thanks to you. Thank you Vikal" Kakunsa tells her in a loving and sweet tone.
"No! This is my duty Kakunsa sama" Vikal blushes saying in a loving tone back.
"Oh Vikal!" Kaksunsa blushes.
"Oh Kakunsa sama" Vikal blushes deeply as they embraced in a hug.
"Really in the middle of a fight?" Korn buries his face in his hands shaking his head back and forth. "If Peppa and I fall we are so getting erased" Korn groans looking back up at the two like newlywed love birds.
"What a beautiful display of love!" Pell and Heles said with their fingers interlocked with one another.
"I'm going to be sick…" Peppa says begrudgingly.
"This is the face of Universe 2! Cooperation through love!" Heles and Pell squeal with excitement.
"Enough of the love already" Beerus says not hiding his annoyance.
"She pushed her back from out-of-bounds?!" Shin said impressed.
"The winged warriors are a problem for sure" Old Kai noted.
No.17 justs lays on the ground staring up into the void sky. Void of all display of emotions himself. Korn notices him get to his feet with a serious face. He wasn't going to mess around anymore and korn knew it.
"I'm off to support the others!" Vikal says sweetly down toward Kakunsa on the ground.
"Right! That prey is mine to finish" Kakunsa replies with a loving malice.
"Happy hunting, Kakunsa sama!" Vikal smiles and waves. No.17 dashes forward at an inhuman pace leaping through the rubble mimicking Kakunsa tactics from earlier.
"Those two idiots!" Korn put his right pointer and middle finger to his forehead allowing him to use his Instant Transmission to teleport in front of Vikal. Korn quickly pushes her out of the way with No.17 already above them. Korn's right side arm meets No.17 right side arm. Korn exerts more force pushing No.17 back. No.17 uses the momentum to backflip in mid-air but Korn overtakes him striking him overhead with both his fist sending him back down to the ground. Vikal looked surprised to be rescued by Korn.
"What?" Kakunsa looks up shocked. Korn eyes widen with sudden realization that he and No.17 moved so fast neither one realized the exchange that just took place. No.17 hit the ground sliding back standing straight up glaring at Korn.
"No fair! It's a three-on-one!" Beerus yells out.
"Korn saved Vikal! See! I told you he cared!" Pell cries out with glad expression. Korn thinks to himself why me.
"Thank you Korn sama-"
"If you want to thank me go support the others and be mindful of your damn surroundings you can be attacked at any moment" Korn scoffs not taking his eyes off of No.17. Vikal nods embarrassingly and flies away.
"Thanks for saving Vikal, Korn, but no need to be so hard on her-"
"Kakunsa focus on the opponent before you!" Korn yells out at her in a scolding tone.
"It's a good thing Korn was there. That could have been our first dropout" Sour says showing a silly expression on his face. He turns head off to the right using his left finger to scratch at his cheek. Kakunsa stares at Korn then back at No.17 dashing forward in rage. Korn drops to the ground crossing his arms watching round two of the fight.
"Curse you! How dare you hurt Vikal!" Kakunsa yells out. No.17 dashes forward slaming his knee into Kakunsa chest driving her back.
"Flyers are a nuisance and I would have taken her out if it wasn't for that saiyan of yours!" No.17 looks up meeting eyes with Korn. Kakunsa pushes No.17 off of her as they threw a series of punches and kicks at each other.
"Curse you, curse you, curse you! Your nothing but prey!" Kakunsa yells out in anger. Korn just bites his lip spitting at the ground.
"This maiden is becoming more trouble than she is worth" Korn scoffs. Korn watches Ribrianne drop from the air breaking up the fight between the two.
"A maiden's help is here Kakunsa! Oh?" Ribrianne yells out. Korn just raises his left eyebrow.
"Ribrianne, that man is my prey! Even Korn knew to stay out of my way! I'm going to get him for hurting Vikal!" Kakunsa yells at Ribrianne in anger.
"Kakunsa…" Ribrianne looks hurt then sees Korn. Their eyes meet. Korn nods his head to the right, keeping eye contact with Ribrainne. Ribrianne nods then looks back at Kakunsa. "Very well. Love is on your side, Kakunsa!" Ribrianne does a cute pose throwing up a peace sign then takes off. Kakunsa smiles viciously as her and No.17 rebound of the rubble. They were moving around so fast even Korn's eyes had trouble following all of their movements. No.17 decided to change tactics and resort to using ki orbs in his hands.
"An attack like that wont hit unless where transforming!" Kakunsa mocks him. Kakunsa eyes widen in horror. No.17 used the orb in his right hand to enlarge it with ki to crouch on top of it with the left hand free building a condensed ki orb in his right hand. "W-what?" Kakunsa looks alarmed not knowing how to respond to this tactic.
"He's using the light as a footing" Korn comments thoughtfully. That's what he was going for with his earlier attack!" Korn mutters to himself taking a step forward. "Then he is going to try to end it with his next attack!" Korn powers-up and leaps into the air.
"Is that even allowed?" Champa asks. The Grand Priest look over at the Zenos who ok it.
"Its allowed" the Grand Priest informs everyone. Kakunsa powers up with her dark blue aura. No.17 propels himself forward. No.17 uses his left hand with the condensed ki orb in it to block Kakunsa right fist.
"Your fighting style was worth studying" No.17 said with respect then fires a massive ki blast from the condensed ball. It envelops Kakunsa. She is fired clear across the stage, the beam tearing apart the ground making a path to the edge of the stage. Korn brings up ki barrier as fearlessly enters the blast grabbing Kakunsa and firing a ki blast of his own to shoot them out of the beam. No.17 lowers his hand annoyed once more by Korn's interference.
Korn drops to the ground gently letting go of Kakunsa who stumbles forward falling to her knees.
"Thanks Korn but-"
"Enough! Leave him to me!" Korn scolds her while keeping his eye on the pile of rubble before them that No.17 lands on.
"No! He's my prey!" Kakunsa objects. Korn looks down at her then raises his voice turning into a Super Saiyan. Kakunsa eyes widen when she feels his raw power.
"I wont ask again" Korn tells her in a dark and savage tone while keeping his eyes locked on No.17.
"Tch, you better not lose or else!" Kakunsa gives Korn a scorned look before escaping.
"Heh, I have defeated Super Saiyans before" No.17 mocks.
"Then as a reward…" Korn lets out another roar turning into a Super Saiyan Rose. No.17 right eye twitched.
Goku and Rozie stop their fight to look over at Korn feeling his tremendous power. Goku smiles wanting to fight Korn himself.
"Now will see what your full capabilities are" Goku readies himself to watch the fight with great interest. Rozie uses this time to escape realizing the difference between her power and Goku's power was to great. With Peppa absent and Korn focused on No.17 she didn't want to risk getting knocked off.
"Behold our valiant knight's anger!" Heles gestures her arms out toward Korn. All eyes on the stands and nearby warriors where on him. Korn commanded the attention it was his show and he would follow the example his universe put forth.
"How is the color? Different from your universes saiyans but more hauntingly beautiful nonetheless?" No.17 just stares at him. "We call this form Rose it's similar to your universes Blue. Yes...Super Saiyan Rose" Korn suggest putting on a show giving a respectful bow but never taking his eyes off of No.17. Korn leaps up high into the air slowly falling to the ground looking down at No.17. "I have showcased this power one other time in this tournament but now I'll show off its full power! You all will see the height of the beauty I have obtained!" Korn bends his body forward holding his hands outward.
"I don't care lets just get this over with" No.17 says coldly.
"You should! You have no idea what I am capable of. Nor my desires, nor my beauty!" Korn holds his hands out to the sky looking up for a moment then back down at No.17. "You will understand the beauty of my existence and why it is our universe that will win and prove more than anything we have the right to exist over all of you!" Korn mocks proudly No.17.
"Your going to find out very quickly your not superior" No.17 casually replies. Korn lowers his hands toward No.17 and smirks. Korn makes a red ball of energy with black lighting flowing around it in the palm of his hand. Korn fires it at No.17 who brings up his green absorption field. It absorbs the attack. Korn floats to the ground putting both his palms together and rapid fires much stronger version of the red ki blast with black lighting at the dome protecting No.17 who just stands there with a blank emotionless face.
Korn keeps firing but soon stops when he realizes no matter how strong of a ki blast he hurls at No.17 it wont break through his dome barrier. No.17 lowers the barrier and hurls a fast ki blast at the ground to kick up dust.
Korn jumps back grunting and starts running only to see No.17 running alongside him. Both running faster than one's eyes could keep up with around the stage to see who truly was the fastest. Korn allowed himself to fall back to hurl ki blast at No.17 who effortlessly dodges them while running.
"I get it, your fast but why can't I sense any power from you?" Korn runs down No.17 who looks over his shoulder.
"Because I'm an android" No.17 replies coldly.
"I see" Korn follows behind No.17 as they quickly rebound off the rubble.
"So your energy based attacks are useless you'll have to find another way to fight me or admit you are just inferior to me" No.17 mocks Korn coldly. No.17 slides to a halt. Korn stops a fair distance from him.
"Alright now I'm mad" Korn says in a low dark voice. He powers-up causing the stage to quake and tremble under his growing power. Korn puts his hands together yelling out Kamehameha! A powerful energy beam rips across the air toward No.17 who brings his dome barrier once more. It splits the beam into multiple angles across the surface. Korn powers-up once more causing a massive explosion to the stage to everyone's shock and horror.
"Is he trying to kill him?" Beerus scuffs angirly. When the dust settles No.17 stands there unharmed.
"It didn't work?" Korn had a more annoyed look on his face.
"Try something original instead of copying the technique of someone in my universe" No.17 scolds Korn. Korn stands there with clenched fist deep in thought. He thinks to himself "How do I fight someone who just absorbs all my best attacks like their nothing?" Korn narrows his eyes as sweat runs down the side of his face.
"Why doesn't Korn try a different attack?" Heles asks curiously.
"Because Korn is a special attacker using high power and devastating ki based attacks. While Peppa is a physical brawler with ki based enhancement and augmentation to his speed, strength, and reaction time with energy manipulation to turn his ki to physical weapons" Sour explained the difference in both their saiyans fighting styles. Heles and Pell nod looking back down at Korn who suddenly looks like he is in over his head.
"This is bad, being an android I can't read his power, he has nearly unlimited stamina and he can absorb any amount of energy attacks I throw at him. Man, he is going to be a tough one" Korn lets out a sigh. Korn puts his hands on his hips with a smile. "I'm impressed by your power and abilities. Defeating you will be very satisfying!" Korn fakes vain confidence. No.17 remains silent but smiles.
"If you figured out that much why are you still fighting? Don't you realize you can't hurt me?" No.17 asks coldly.
"Your a smart guy and you have friends that our saiyans you should know we don't give up easily!" Korn says in a darker tone. "I'll show you personally what I am capable of!" Korn said in a scorned voice.
"Then show me!" No.17 orders Korn holding up both his hands firing out countless ki blast at him. Korn narrows his eyes casting a dark look his body seemingly reacting on its own to dodge the incoming attacks.
"Lets try this ag-" before Korn could finish No.17 had elbowed him in the gut lifting Korn up and off the ground. Then No.17 jumped up and roundhouse kicked Korn across the face. Korn flew back into a tall pile of rubble. "Ok, that hurt…" Korn's head leans forward as he tries to pull himself free from the rubble. No.17 dashes toward him. Korn pulls himself free flipping over the rubble as No.17 smashes through it. Korn lands on his feet looking back over at the small dust cloud that was kicked up. "You missed…" Korn mocks.
Korn readies another Kamehameha Wave hesitates realizing it's not gonna work this time either he would just be wasting his energy. In that moment of hesitation No.17 takes advantage of it dashing forward elbowing Korn in his chest sending him sliding across the ground. Korn hits another pile of rubble.
"Is that all you got? Is this the limit of your power?" Korn yells out darkly. Korn blinks once but when he opens his eyes No.17 is standing before him with a terrifying smile.
"No" is all No.17 tells him. No.17 fires a ki blast. Korn gets dragged across the stage toward the edge.
"No you don't!" Korn quickly makes use of his Instant Transmission to save himself before he got pushed off the stage by the beam. He appears next to the left hand side of No.17. But No.17 had already predicted Korn's movement. As soon as Korn appeared he got a hard right to the face and goes flying back.
"Try and stop this one!" Korn uses Instant Transmission technique once again appearing behind No.17 who was already turning around to fire a point blank range ki blast to the face of Korn. Korn's eyes widened as he takes the blast and is hurled back into another pile of rubble creating a crater to lay in upon impact and surrounded by a dusk cloud.
"Korn is in real trouble…" Heles noted.
"Yeah, No.17 is proving to be too much for our warriors…" Pell says with a growing dread. When the dust settled Korn struggled to sit up. His eyes were pressed shut with a deep redness around them. Korn tried to open his eyes but closed them quickly in pain. "Oh no!" Pell says out loud.
"His eyes…" Heles puts her left hand over her lips. Korn's aura was gone but he was still in his Super Saiyan Rose form all beat up looking. His hands shake in front of him as he tries to open his eyes again shuts them once more from an awful bright light that put strain on his eyes. No.17 lowered his hand and narrowed his eyes.
"He blinded him…" Goku noted.
"Looks like your cousin is in real trouble shouldn't you help him?" Caulifla asks Peppa who just watches the fight unflinching.
"No, a true saiyan fights alone" Peppa tells her. Caulifla gives him a quizzical look.
"Then what do you call what we did against the Pride Troopers then?" Caulifla asks Peppa, raising her brow to her.
"A battle royal" Peppa replies looking back over to the fight.
"Man, this is bad…" Korn says under a strained voice.
"On a more inferior opponent that special move of yours works rather well. But a perk to being an android is I can sense the vibrations in the air. So I know where you're going to appear at the point of re-entry" No.17 educates Korn.
"Man, this guy is...too strong…" Korn admits feeling defeated. Korn was at his limit. No.17 just stares at him realizing this battle was over. No.17 holds out his hand creating another energy sphere to hurl at Korn.
"It's over, I'm going to knock you off now" No.17 says coldly. No.17 fires a ki blast with black lighting around it as it spirals toward Korn. He could feel it coming quickly.
"No.17! I wont lose!" in that dark moment Korn sees his friends and family, then their planet new Soho, then their universe, then he is brought to that sudden and terrifying moment when Universe 9 was erased and that look on Hops and Roh's faces. "Everyone's counting on me!" before Korn could think of what to do his body moved on its own using Instant Transmission to get out of the way. The ki blast hit the ground where he was and exploded throwing a cloud of dust everywhere.
No.17 smiles until he felt a sudden jarring force. Korn had appeared behind him. Korn wrapped his legs and arms around No.17.
"What? How? Your were done for?" No.17 showing a freaked out face. He struggles against Korn's grip.
"It was a nice attack I'm sure but it provided me a nice cover to teleport behind you" Korn whispers in No.17's ear. "No you can't attack me while I have you like this" Korn teases darkly.
"That may be so but you can't attack me either" No.17 retorts. No.17 eyes widen in a sudden realization." Unless-"
"I'm crazy enough to take you out with me which I am!" Korn snickers evilly.
"You wouldn't? Just to take me out?" No.17 eyes widen, he struggles more.
"I sure would!" Korn laughs. "Peppa can handle things from here!" Korn says confidently.
"Let go of me! Are you insane?" No.17 leaps into the air struggling.
"What is the game only fun when you're winning is that it? Sorry but life doesn't work that way! Will do whatever it takes to ensure our survival! Even if its a dirty underhanded tactic! We aren't just fighting for ourselves!" Korn yells out in anger.
"Your not the only one who has something to fight for! Something to lose!" No.17 yells desperately. While like this he couldn't bring up his barrier which meant he was wide open for Korn's Full Force Release!
"Finale Explosion!" Korn powered-up then released a massive force of ki that exploded in mid-air to everyone's shock. The Zenos where at the edge of their seats captivated in suspense. From the cloud Korn's body fell and smacked into the ground with a loud thud.
Korn was back to normal with his dark colored hair that was parted to the far left in spikes. His eyes were still shut tight with a dark redness around them. He groaned weakly trying to sit up. Beerus and the others watched from the stands. When the dust cleared the sky No.17 was still floating. He was hunched over bruised but still very much in the game.
"Korn get up! No.17 is still on stage!" Heles yelled out. Korn's body jerked.
"No...I got nothing left…" Korn said weakly.
"You got lucky, but this is the end you stupid blind monkey!" No.17 goes to fire when Ribrianne lands next to Korn rapid firing heart shaped ki blasts at No.17 who brings up his barrier again annoyed.
"Really? Again with the interference?" No.17 said annoyed.
"Hey that's not fair!" Goku yelled out. Goku dashes forward to help No.17 only to have Rozie reappear and intercept him. Vegeta was watching from on top of some rubble. He looked mad and decides to jump in and help No.17 considering Korn a disgrace of a saiyan who needs the help of women to win. Vegeta hits the ground and is immediately attacked by Kakunsa who blocks Vegeta from interfering by taking him on in a speedfight.
"Where is he?" Korn yells out.
"Above us! He has his energy barrier up I can't make a dent in it!" Ribrianne yells back. Korn clenches his fist in anger then has a sudden thought. His mind replying all the times No.17 used the barrier.
"I have a plan, give it everything you got Ribrianne!" Korn orders.
"Roger!" Ribrianne keeps pouring on the love on No.17 who hunches over with a strained look. Korn uses his Instant Transmission to teleport behind No.17 bringing up his barrier he learned from Goku while charging up a Kamehameha Wave in his hand and rises the energy orb above his head.
"No.17 it's over!" Korn yells out. No.17 turns around wide eyed.
"Whatever your doing? It wont work!" No.17 mocks Korn. Korn smiles.
"I just needed to hear your voice," Korn says in a dark menacing voice. He brings the orb of light in front of him and fires it. As soon as his barrier makes contact with No.17's barrier it punches a hole in his Barrier. As soon as that happens Korn's barrier drops flooding his barrier with the Kamehameha Wave. No.17's eyes widen, the wave pushes the orb to the ground. Korn moves his fists to the left as the wave drags No.17 across the ground toward the edge with a sudden explosion.
No.17 goes flying off the stage and is eliminated. Korn goes flying in the air from the backlash of the wave falling back to the ground. Before he hit Vikal flies in grabbing him breaking his fall.
"No! No.17!" Goku says annoyed.
"Damn it!" Beerus seethes with anger. No.17 drops next to No.18.
"Great job No.17!" No.18 says in a scorned sarcastic voice.
"No.17 had dropped out" the Grand Priest announces. The Zenos black out No.17 profile picture.
Ribrianne rolls next to Vikal who helps Korn to his feet. Rozie and Kakunsa knock Goku and Vegeta away. Regrouping with the Ribrianne, Vikal, Jimeze, Zirloin, and Korn. Goku and Vegeta scuff as they fall back from the massive ki blasts. Kakunsa rests Korn against some rubble.
"You alright?" Ribrianne asks Korn.
"I will be if I could just have one minute to rest and recover" Korn told them.
"We got you covered" Kakunsa tells him.
"What?" Korn looks in the direction of her voice.
"Your minute we got it covered get the rest you need" Kakunsa declared. Other warriors tried to take advantage of Korn's sudden exhaustion but Ribrianne, Kakunsa, Rozie, Jimieze, Prum, and Zirloin intercepted the other warriors to protect Korn who began to meditate and trust in his teammates. Vikal stayed close to Korn while keeping her eyes on their other teammates incase they needed saving from being knocked.
"Look at the power of cooperation through love" Heles declared mocking the other universes implying that they don't have the same love, loyalty, and devotion to the other universes warriors they have. The taks counted down letting the warriors know they only have 39 more minutes left of the tournament.
