Pride and Prejudice:
Peppa's Twisted Love and The Cruel Beauty Of His Battle!
Hermila and Jimeze stand next to the tower of taks counting down to the end of the tournament. There's a long blast crater as they both stand exhausted from the relentless assaults from the other universes. Sweat drips down their brow. They look over to see Korn sitting cross legged on the ground, his hands in his lap, his head bowed with his eyes closed. Even though he is resting he is fully aware of everything going on around him.
"If you want my friend Korn you'll have to get past me!" Ribrianne says with fire blazing from her eyes and a deep all consuming pink aura aflame around her body. She points at Vegeta with furious anger. "Your an evil, heartless, cruel man who would attack a man while he is down!" she scolds him. "You warrior of Darkness who would destroy our Universe 2!" she continues her rant. "First identify yourself!" she demands.
"I see, I'm evil huh? The only one evil is that Peppa character who uses distasteful underhand tactics!" Ribrianne gives Vegeta a menacing glare. "I'm a true saiyan! A true warrior! I am the saiyan above all other saiyans! I'm Vegeta! Prince of the Saiyans!" Vegeta proudly proclaims. "Warrior of Love, in order for our Universe 7 to survive, I shall eliminate you and those other saiyans from the stage!" Vegeta puts his hands on his hips with a sly smile.
"I wont let you!" Ribrianne retorts.
"Wow, he really is getting into this?" Krillin notes from the stands.
"Yeah, that is the last thing I would expect from Vegeta" No.17 comments.
"Yeah, like you getting dropped by the Warriors of love?" No.18 scolds No.17.
"So long as my love does not fade I will protect the happiness of Universe 2!" Ribrianne proclaims.
"Fine, my desire vs your love!" Vegeta taunts her into attacking him. "Let us decide which is stronger!" Vegeta turns into a Super Saiyan.
"Bring it on! I, Ribrianne will show you my power!" she tells him. They both dash forward slamming into each other. Vegeta blocks Ribrianne relentless punches. Vegeta starts going on the attack punching and kicking her back trying to push her back to get to the injured Korn. Vegeta backs up then dashes forward to throw a hard punch but instinctively dodges when he sees Ribrianne turn around to hit him with her round butt.
"Ugh, she is so gross…" Vegeta looks over his shoulder at her shivering in disgust. "Still not bad…" Vegeta compliments her.
"Who needs compliments from a Warrior of Darkness?" Ribrianne scolds him.
"The only Warrior of Darkness is that psychopath Peppal!" Vegeta defends himself. Meanwhile Goku is being bombarded by Rozie and her Yacchina Fist and her ki blasts.
"If you want to fight Korn you'll have to get past me first!" Rozie starts controlling her ki blast so there not predictable making harder for Goku to dodge them. When he goes to jump back she stops one then has it shot at his stomach. If he dodges right she has another ki blast go left and hit him.
"What is he doing?" Beerus says in an angry tone.
"She's mixing in feint with her attacks. That's troublesome" Shin noted.
"A Maiden protecting her injured knight. That is beautiful" Heles once again holds her right hand to her chest and points to the stage with her left hand standing up. The stage is ablaze with fights taking place everywhere. The fight between Ribrianne and Vegeta continues to heat up as lighting sparks from each of their earth shattering attacks. They circle one another throwing punch and kick one after the other blocking and parrying each other violently.
A few feet away Goku is still evading Rozie Yacchina Fist. Goku jumps back while Rozie incircles Goku with orbs of ki.
"Now you have nowhere to run!" Rozie tells him. "I'm going to protect my friends by defeating you!" Rozie takes an offensive stance. The fight heats up further against Ribrianne and Vegeta till he glances over and sees Goku is in trouble. Vegeta quickly breaks away dash forward slamming into Goku moving him out of the way of the incoming orbs of ki that explode kicking up dust. Vegeta calls Goku and idiot for letting his guard down. They get to their feet looking over at Rozie who takes a more defensive fighting stance.
"Be mindful of your surroundings I wont save you next time clown!" Vegeta scolds Goku. Ribrianne drops down and renews her fight with Vegeta.
"How dare you ignore me!" Ribrianne scolds him. Vegeta just grunts as he goes on the attack. Rozie turns at Goku hurling more ki blast at him. Goku makes the comment he is getting use to her fighting style while he dodges Rozie's ki blast flipping over another to catch it and flings it back at her. Rozie knocks it away and hurls a dozen more his way. She tries to pin him down by his moments but fails when Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport behind her. Goku dodges her attacks each time copying her ki attack and encircling her with orbs of ki of his own.
"Go Goku!" Krillin cheers.
"He's completely cut her off!" Old Kai notes.
"Your fighting style was worth studying" Goku borrows a line from No.17 who said the same thing to Kakunsa. Goku holds a ki orb in front of Rozie who is trapped with a panicked look on her face. Goku detonates the ki orbs blowing Rozie clear across the stage.
"Rozie!" Ribrianne turns her back on Vegeta. Korn right eye twitches. Korn forces his eyes open but all he sees in a bright light that puts strain on his eyes. Korn shuts them again frustrated and feeling useless. Rozie sits up, she turns her back noticing she is at the edge of the stage. She looks back at Goku with a near defeated expression.
"Universe 7...Son Goku...how strong…" Rozie bites her bottom lip fearing the worst. Ribrianne lands in between her and Goku. Goku blinks his eyes. Ribrianne holds up the stop sign with her hand.
"Rozie, are you hurt?" Ribrianne asks not taking her eyes off of Goku.
"No, Ribrianne" Rozie answers her.
"I wont let you do anymore" Ribrianne states. Vegeta walks in front of Goku standing to his left hand side with his arms crossed.
"If you'd both fall on your own it would save us the hassle" Vegeta tells them casually.
"My maidens!" Heles yells out. Korn clenched his fists. Lighting coursed around his body. His face strained with guilt. He tries to sense where they are but cant do to the enormous amount of ki flowing around the place from the other warriors. Korn didn't realized how much he relied on his physical sight to look at an opponent and sense their ki. Without it he was feeling everything around him and it was becoming disorentating while he adjusts to not having his eyesight. This was a bad time to lose one of his senses.
"Where's Peppa? This is a bad time to be short one warrior?" Pell asked in an annoyed tone.
"Looks like your universe is getting exhausted being everyone's target" Caulifla mentions to Peppa who watches on silently. Caulifla looks back at him. "Shouldn't you help them? If they all get knocked out then you'll have to survive on your own as well as eliminate all the other warriors on your own" Caulifla stated the obvious.
Peppa was still silent and watching deep in thought with his arms crossed leaning up against some rubble. It was still too early in the tournament to be making big plays. He didn't like his universe going out drawing everyone's attention if they couldn't handle it let alone they should have waited till they saw what the other universes's warriors were capable of. Peppa narrowed his eyes disgruntled.
"What are we going to do?" Heles asked.
"There's nothing to worry about" Pell had a sudden confident smile about him. "With maidens comes knights!" Pell reminds Heles. Jimeze teleports between Ribrianne and Rozie.
"Maidens let us retreat from here!" Jimeze recommends. They quickly grab on to him and they teleport to safety. Peppa let out a sigh. Caulifla noticed Peppa was clenching and unclenching his fist.
"So he does care…" Caulifla tells herself with a sweet smile looking back scouting the other fights.
"Instant Transmission, how annoying" Vegeta grunts. Vegeta powers down.
"Yeah that was Universe 2 Yardrat" Goku mentions to Vegeta.
"They got away, oh well on to the next ones" Vegeta recommends scouting his next opponent. "It be better not to follow" Vegeta caustions Goku. "Be sure to not let your guard down this time clown" Vegeta reminds Goku.
"I know that" Goku tells him.
"Goku, that bastard! The way he fights is so unnerving!" Beerus complains.
"Is Goku the only one you should be worried about?" Champa says in a teasing voice to Beerus. "Aren't there others you should be more worried about? Hmm?" Champa hints at something. Beerus right eye twitches. The two brothers joke trying to find some fun and excitement not trying to focus on the more serious notion this tournament entails. "Botamo!" Champa calls out.
"I got this!" Botamo lands in front of Gohan and Piccolo cracking his knuckles. Peppa eyes Gohan and Piccolo with a disgusted look on his face.
"We ran into Botamo. What a nuisance" Piccolo mentions to Gohan.
"Piccolo, let me handle this one" Gohan respectfully asks. Piccolo turns his head to see Gohan looking at him. Piccolo nods and Gohan returns the nod.
"Go get him" Piccolo encourages Gohan.
"Lets begin then" Botamo makes himself ready to do battle. "Come at me. I'll play with you a bit" Botamo taunts Gohan. Gohan throws a series of punches followed up by a powerful kick to no effect. Gohan backs up shocked. "That doesn't even tickle" Botamo laughs. Piccolo knows Botamo can't be damaged nor does he lose stamina. Piccolo wonders how Gohan will defeat him. Gohan charges back in unleashing powerful uppercut after uppercut.
"What are you doing kid? At this rate you'll tire yourself out!" Beerus yells out.
"Good going, Botamo!" Champa cheers on Botamo. "Too bad Beerus, another one will drop from here" Champa teases his twin brother. Piccolo watches the fight turning his head to the side hearing someone walking up on him.
"What? Interested in your son's fight?" Piccolo asks toward Goku.
"Pretty much, how is it looking?" Goku asks casually.
"Piece of cake" Piccolo comments back.
"I told him about it when I fought Botamo" Goku mentions to Piccolo. "I'm sure Gohan has thought of a way to fight him" Goku confidently tells Piccolo.
"Thats right" Piccolo returns the confidence.
"I'm going to start fighting back now" Botamo tells Gohan but suddenly realizes his feet are slowly being picked up off the ground with each forceful uppercut to the abdomen.
"Yes!" Beerus cheers.
"He lifted him!" Krillin adds in. No. 17 and 18 watch in silence. With Shin and the Old Kai.
"Dammit my feet can't reach!" Botamo panics. Now floating off the ground Gohan keeps uppercutting him closer and closer to the edge of the stage.
"Idiot! You're getting to get knocked off like that! Fight! Fight back!" Champa starts to panic. Botamo tries his mouth blast but misses utterly even at close range he can't bend his neck down due to his enlarged belly to hit Gohan.
"Run! Jump!" Champa orders. Gohan kicks him hard then quickly shifts his stance to unleashing a powerful Kamehameha Wave blasting him off the stage.
"Botamo!" Caulifla clenches her fist. "Hey Peppa?" Caulifla turned but notice Peppa was gone. She looked back toward the fight and her eyes widen.
"Look its Peppa!" Pell pointed out to Heles and Sour. Champa and Beerus overheard them and look to where Pell was pointing. Peppa stood on top of a towering rubble looking down at Gohan with a scorned look.
"Damn tailless saiyan" Peppa says with malice. Piccolo and Goku catch sight of Peppa and could feel his sinister ki.
"Watch out Gohan!" No.18 yells out. Gohan quickly turns around looking up toward Peppa who just glared at him.
"So he finally emerges from his hiding spot" No.18 says still bitter over how he knocked her and Krillin off the stage.
"Someone who overestimates their power can never be my enemy" Gohan mouths under his breath but kept eye contact with Peppa. Gohan could tell that comment was aimed at both Botamo and him.
"Dammit, I'm taking you with me" Botamo rages and fires another breath attack.
"Oh no he let his guard down again!" Old Kai yells out. Gohan turns his head holding out his right hand bringing up his fabled barrer to block the attack. Then turns his head back to see Peppa was gone. Gohan narrows his eyes looking around but is unable to find him.
"Where did he go?" No.18 said under her breath biting her lip. Krillin, Shin, Old Kai, and Beerus looked around but once again could not find him.
"What the hell? I thought after cozying up to Caulifla and Kale he surely was going to save Botamo. You can't tell what that guy is going to do" Champa complains.
"What was the point of that?" Heles had a confused look on her face.
"A scare tactic" Sour answers her.
"Universe 6 Botamo has dropped out" the Grand Priest announces.
"Swipe, swipe" the Zeno on the left hand side says to himself. "Botamo...Botamo…" the left hand side Zeno blacked out Botamo's pic on the Godpad. "Botamo dropped out" Zeno says. Botamo appeared in the stands for Universe 6.
"You useless cod! Getting defeated so easily" Champa scolds him. Botamo apologies weakly.
"I guess I got nothing more to say" Old Kai adds to the dialogue with his team in the stands.
"That's our Gohan, guess we have nothing to worry about from that other guy. Well, let's keep it up" Goku dashes away but not before Piccolo reminds him to not let his guard down. Piccolo stands there hands crossed narrowing his eyes.
"As for that evil saiyan, he knew you would jump in on Gohan's behalf. Like a true predator who knows when to make his attack" Piccolo mutters to himself. Gohan regroups with Piccolo as they start to walk away only to hear an unfamiliar voice call out to them.
"An impressive fight...warrior of Universe 7" the mystery warrior voice reaches out to Gohan and Piccolo as they turn the head to the source of the voice. "I am the Warrior of Universe 10 Obuni" he introduces himself. Obuni is a humanoid being with green skin and long, white hair.
"And I am Rubalt!" Rubalt is a muscular humanoid being with reddish skin.
"I see you are a warrior worthy of fighting me" Obuni tells Gohan. "Fight with me!" he demands.
"You'll be fighting me!" Rubalt calls out Piccolo.
"Very well" Piccolo snickers confidently. Obuni smiles at Gohan who just glares at him. Elsewhere a warrior by the name of Jilcol goes flying off the stage. Jilcol is a blue-skinned humanoid with white hair and beard. His clothing consists of orange pants.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Jilcol yell blasted off by Jimeze who holds out his right hand standing in front of Rozie and Ribrianne. They were blushing with star struck eyes.
"You shall not harm the hope of Universe 2!" Jimeze says heroically. "Maidens, love and hope will never die!" Jimieze looks over to them holding up his left hand confidently.
"Yes! Jimeze!" both Rozie and Ribrianne said lovingly and blushes across their face.
"Universe 10's Jilcol has dropped out" the Grand Priest announces. Zeno blacks out his display picture.
"We lost another one…" Cus the angel that oversees Universe 10 said with sadness. Cus is a short humanoid with pale blue skin and white hair, just like the other Angels although she wears it as a single braided side pigtail and her hair combed in the 80/20 ratio. She carries her Angel Attendant's Staff in her right hand. Like the rest of angels, she has a large light blue halo around her neck. Her attire consists of purple robes, a black cuirass, and a pink sash.
"I suppose it's time to accept our fate" Gowasu the Universe 10 Supreme Kai is an elderly Shinjin with light, yellow, wrinkled skin, pointy ears, and white hair in the style of a mohawk flipped to the side. He wears a gray and yellow coat with a violet long-sleeved shirt underneath, a light blue sash, darker blue baggy pants, and white boots. He also wears gold and green Potara, the decoration of the Supreme Kais.
"No! We still have two warriors left!" Rumsshi reminds Gowasu. "Obuni, Rubalt! Your our last hope!" Rumsshi cheers them on pleadingly.
"Wow we lost eight guys already?" Rubalt mentions to Obuni.
"Fear not! We shall definitely protect Universe 10" Obuni corrects him.
"That's what you think…" Peppa mutters to himself watching from the shadows with a wicked smile.
"Were counting on you!" Rumsshi cheers with feverish desperation. Obuni and Gohan stare each other down.
"And now…" Obuni readies himself as does Gohan.
"His stance shows no opening, I can't let my guard down" Gohan thinks to himself. Rubalt lunges forward from the towering rubble to punch Piccolo in the face sending flying back. Gohan and Obuni exchange lighting fast blows with one another. Peppa watches both fights studying all four warriors fighting styles and battle rhythm. "So you were following me! I was right about you!" Gohan tells Obuni.
"I have been waiting for a warrior like you!" Obuni answers back. Obuni lunges forward making five copies of himself. Gohan and Peppa both widen their eyes as they both think to themselves "What? I can sense him but I can't find him!" Gohan lunges forward striking striking at one of the images but passes through it.
"I see, it's like my After Image but more refined I like it!" Peppa lets out a dark and wicked laugh. Obuni and the images lunge after Gohan sticking him across the face before disappearing. The real Obuni races under Gohan uppercutting him in the back causing him to controt in the air before slamming into the ground.
"Gohan!" Krillin yells out from the stands. Gohan struggles to get to his feet with Obuni bearing down on him.
"Their might be hope! Go Obuni we are counting on you!" Gowasu cheers from the stands.
"Oh? You didn't accept your fate?" Cus asks Gowasu.
"I did, but once I thought he might win, I suddenly wanted to cling to life" Gowasu answers her.
"Good, cling to life all you want. It'll be all the more satisfying when I snuff out your entire universe from existence!" Peppa mutters to himself darkly.
"That's a rather difficult fight" Whis chims in.
Whis is a tall, thin humanoid with pale blue skin, white hair, violet eyes and rather effeminate features. He owns a long scepter with a gem that floats above it, and is usually seen holding it in his right hand. Around his neck is a large light blue ring. Whis' attire consists of a maroon robe, a black cuirass with the same white and orange diamond decorations as Beerus, and a blue sash. He also wears black high-heeled shoes with white spats.
"Gohan reacts not just by using his eyes but by instinctively sensing an enemy's internal energy" Peppa mutters to himself. Insulted a tailless saiyan like Gohan share a method he himself employs. "Obuni shifts his internal energy from his body's movements into those After Images. If he can do it then I should be able to as well since I have the basic foundation of that attack already mastered" Peppa comments to himself. "This will also prevent enemies from reading my movements as well" Peppa continues to comment on the fight to himself.
"So he controls his internal energy to use feints" Old Kai comments to Whis. Obuni creates more After Images to assault Gohan with.
"It seems mundane but it's a secret technique of using energy, but we have seen something similar with that other saiyan from Universe 2. He used a base version against Frost" Whis educates Krillin, No 17, 18, Shin, and Old Kai.
"A Secret technique?!" Krillin groans.
"Surprisingly we can't underestimate Universe 10" Beerus adds in his thoughts on the matter. Rubalt starts to best Piccolo with his punches and kicks. Piccolo is pushed back in which case he counters with a ki blast. Rubalt dodges quickly spinning around then continues his mad dash on Piccolo. Rubalt stops realizing Piccolo is shooting around him.
"Desperate attack, that's not hitting at all" Rubalt mocks.
"I just wanted to make things easier by cutting you off" Piccolo smiles confidently. Rubalt realized too late now he was surrounded by a bunch of ki orbs.
"Say goodbye!" Piccolo throws his arms in a downward motion about to sending dozens upon dozens of ki orbs raining down in all directions toward Rubalt. A small force explosion erupted and when the dust settled Rubalt eyes were whited out falling face first into the dirt. Piccolo walks over to Rubalt.
"Rules are rules. You need to leave!" Piccolo says scornfully.
"I agree!" Peppal says in a sinister voice. Before Piccolo could react Peppa used his Dark Saber to cut off the kneecaps of Piccolo spilling his Namekian blood over the stage. Everyone in the stands watched in horror as Piccolo's body fell forward. Peppa at lighting speed impales Piccolo through his back with the Dark Saber and stops him from hitting the ground. Peppa smiles with wicked delight swinging Piccolo's body to the edge of the stage.
Piccolo coughed up blood. He reaches out with his hands taking hold of the ki saber. It burns his hands on contact.
"I damn Namekian scum" Peppa said in a dark voice extending his Dark Saber so the long energy beam went past the edge of the stage taking Piccolo's body with him. "Rules are rules...good-bye insect" Peppa says with a loving hate filled voice releasing the energy as Piccolo's body drops off the stage. There was an utter shock and revulsion for Peppa's savage and back stabbing tactic.
Piccolo's body drops next to No.17 as the eliminated Z-Warriors gather around him to make sure he is ok. Piccolo painfully regenerates his legs and the hole in his chest closes up. The Universe 6 Namekians took note of what Peppa said and did to Piccolo as they watched from a safe distance.
"That was bloody...Piccolo of Universe 7 has dropped out" the Grand Priest announces. There comes a murmur as people murmur in disgust of Peppa's actions.
"That was violent…" Zeno said in a shocked tone. "Very violent, very violent…" Zeno on the right side replied. Zeno on the left hand side blacked out Piccolo's picture. Piccolo with the help of Krillin gets to his feet leaning for the stone guard rail of the stands looking down at Peppa who was looking up at the Universe 7 stands.
"You freaking psychopath! You could have killed me!" Piccolo yells down at Peppa.
"I know about your regeneration of your race. We had your kind in my universe, till I blew up the planet and murdered them all" Peppa laughs in a mocking tone. Piccolo went pale as he fell back on the bench on the stands.
"That creep is psychotic!" No.18 spits.
"Damn, we only have six warriors left thanks to him" Beerus scuffs.
"That...that was not beautiful at all…" Heles mentions to Pell and Sour who had nothing to say and sat with strained faces. Peppa turned his head looking down at Rubalt.
"As for you...you ugly little troll…" Peppa holds his right hand out. "Disappear!" a massive ki blast swallows up the body of Rubalt streaking across the stage causing other warriors to dodge out of the way as it goes flying off the stage taking Rubalt with him.
"That was a bit excessive…" Pell notes.
"Rubalt of Universe 10 has dropped out…" the Grand Priest says with a cold hard stare at Peppa. The Zenos were silent as well as they did there swiping and updating on the Godpad.
"Hey Rumsshi! Your universe is pitiful and full of ugly people. I look forward to eliminating your last warrior and watching you all get erased from existence! Such an ugly universe has no place in creation!" Peppa brings his hands up to the heavens toward Universe 10 stands letting out his mocking laugh.
"Oh no! He is going after Gohan and Obuni next!" Krillin yells out.
"Gohan will defeat him!" Piccolo says confidently. Frieza takes note of Peppa's ruthless nature and underhand tactics with a smile. Goku is surprised that Piccolo was eliminated and Vegeta is annoyed Piccolo was knocked off and disgusted with Peppa's tactics.
"I'm sorry Gowasu" Rubalt says weakly sitting on the bench.
"So long as we have Obuni will win. There's no way we can lose!" Gowasu says in a confident and hopeful tone. Peppa loves it, he feeds off of Gowasu positivity like a parasite. He wanted them to hope more so it will be all the more satisfying when he crushes Obuni and watches them get erased.
Obuni charges Peppa in a surprise attack catching Peppa off guard landing some powerful attacks surrounding Peppa with his After Image feints. Peppa takes the punches laughing.
"You twisted psychopath! You'll pay for what you did to Rabalt and the other warrior!" Obuni yells out in righteous judgement.
"Peppa's getting beat up!" Zeno on the left says excitedly. "I hope he loses!" Zeno on the right replies back. Peppa stumbles back with a bruised face but a wicked smirk. Peppa yells out a clear white aura surrounding him, lightning sparks off of him. His hair becomes darker and more defined. Gohan watches the fight from a distance with a stunned expression across his face. Realizing that Peppa's power is not unlike his own.
"This power...what is he?" Gohan mutters to himself. Other warriors stop taking notice of Peppa in his base form but with strength and power that almost equal to that of a Super Saiyan 3.
"Oh my god...he's like Gohan…" Old Kai breaks the silence. The others in the Universe 7 stands look at the Old Kai.
"You mean-" Shin was about to his when he gets cut off by Old Kai.
"He is maximum potential" Old Kai says with a stunned expression across his face.
"You mean-" Krillin went to add in but gets cut off by No.17
"Had Gohan kept up his training he could have been on that saiyan's level…" No.17 says calmly confirming all their fears. Even Piccolo watched with silently. Obuni was being pushed back by Peppa's raw power and the dust being kicked up by Peppa's growing power. Peppa lets out an insane laugh.
"I love this! I'm thankful I was born a SAIYAN!" Peppa powers-up one last time as he stands there with a sinister clear white aura and lighting flowing around his body. "Come on!" Peppa taunts Obuni.
"You fight all out using tricks and pranks to win. You are a disgrace to warriors everywhere!" Obuni scolds him.
"I care not for the opinions of someone who wont exist when this is over!" Peppa mocks him in a calm wicked voice. Obuni lunges forward unleashing his After Image Feint attack. Peppa took the punch to the gut and didn't even flinch or budge from his spot. Peppa grabbed his Obuni's right arm wrist with his left hand.
"That trick wont work on me!" Peppa mocks him and gives him a fast right hook across the face. Obuni flies back landing on his feet. He gets angry seeing Peppa's mocking grin. Obuni leaps in the air trying the attack once more but this time planning to kick Peppa's teeth in with the bottom of his foot.
Peppa steps back letting the attack hit him in the abdomen instead. Once again Peppa uses his left hand to grab hold of the heel of Obuni to his surprise. Peppa pulls back slamming his right fist into the gut of Obuni slamming him into the ground. Obuni rolls back getting to his feet only to be overtaken by Peppa who begins to pulverize Obuni in the most savage and brutal manner he could think of for all to see.
"Peppa is a glutton for punishment" Pell mentions to Heles and Sour.
"He is a sadist…" Heles comments.
"This guy…" Gohan clenches his fist wanting to help Obuni but doesn't want to rush in. Gohan knows he can't make a mistake around this guy. This saiyan was different from the evil saiyans they fought before. He was much darker and ruthless much like Frieza. Gohan thought to himself. Once more it seemed Peppa's body was adapting to Obuni attack pattern and was instinctively dodging on his own while Obuni was still getting beat down by Peppa.
"I hate to say it but that saiyan has amazing instincts…" Whis comments outloud looking concerned. Beerus looks over at Whis then back down at Peppa deep in thought. Even Sour and some of the other angels were taking notice of Peppa's evasive movements. Peppa lands an earth shattering punch causing Obuni to bounce across the ground. Peppa jumps back smiling looking like he barely broke a sweat. Obuni on the other hand was bruised and his body was wrecked with injury.
"Despite your vicious tactics you fight well against me. What's your name?" Obuni breathes hard and fast clearly exhausted.
"My name is Peppa, the Warrior of Darkness of Universe 2! A Saiyan from the house of Poole!" Peppa introduces himself theatrically powering-up more to everyone's shock.
"Peppa, your a true challenge but I carry the fate of the Universe 10! I have something to protect! So I can't afford to lose here!" Obuni lunges forward and Peppa follows suit kicking off the ground as they slam their fist against one another. Each hit of Peppa could be heard as it distorted the air around them. Obuni couldn't even touch him anymore, let alone keep up his feints anymore but Obuni wouldn't give in.
Obuni went to lunge forward once more but Peppa brought up his left hand flashing a light made of ki blinding Obuni causing him to stumble forward in his movements. Peppa quickly brought up his right hand and fired his infamous Disappear attack.
"Cheater!" Rumsshi yelled out. That bright awful light swallowed up Obuni taking him from the stage and off into the void. Universe 10's warriors, kai, and gods watched in shock and horror as Obuni landed next to them in the stands. Peppa powered down looking at the ground noticing a locket on the ground. He walks up to it bending down to pick it up. He clicks it open to see a picture of Obuni, his wife, and their child. Peppa's had a quick shocked expression goes across his face.
He closes the locket getting back to his feet with a somber expression. He takes a breath spinning around to face Gohan with a sly smile hurling the locket at Gohan who catches it. Gohand looks at the picture his face filled with sadness. He looks back at Peppa with a disgusted face.
"What an ugly baby, I'm doing it a favor…" Peppa laughs looking up at Universe 10's stands. Gohan just stares at the locket with the picture inside.
"He lost…" Cus said with heartfelt sadness.
"Universe 10's Obuni has dropped out" Grand Priest announces. Zeno on the left swipe and black out the picture.
"All of Universe 10 is gone" Zeno on the left said.
"All of Universe 10 warriors have dropped out. They have been wiped out. Therefore Universe 10 will be erased!" Grand Priest announces.
"Obuni, you did well" Gowasu comments on his performance.
"Universe 10! Bye-bye!" both Zenos said in unison. Zeno on the left raising his left hand and the Zeno on his right raising his right hand. Universe 10 warriors, Gowasu, and Rumsshi bow their heads and close their eyes. Then that awful white light appears and in mere moments Universe 10 and its warriors are gone! They no longer exist!
"Rumsshi…" Cus lowers her head distraught over her universe losing. The locket Gohan was holding disappears from his hand much to his dismay. Gohan closes his eyes taking in a deep breath and exhaling giving Universe 10 a moment of silence out of respect, but in that moment Gohan's eyes closed Peppa dashed forward grabbing Gohan by mouth slamming him into a pile of rubble. Gohan reached out with both hands taking hold of the left forearm of Peppa but felt a sudden painful stab.
Peppa's Dark Saber had been impaled in a non-lethal way through him. Peppa had a dark and crazed look about him as he towered over Gohan like a demon.
"That coward! He attacked when Gohan closed his eyes!" Piccolo yelled out outraged. Other warriors had taken noticed as well as the people watching from the stands.
"This is a battle royal! Our Universes are at stake! You really shouldn't let your guard down you damn tailless saiyan!" Peppa mocks Gohan grinding the Dark Saber in more deeply. Not wanting to witness another bloody display from Peppa other warriors from other universes rush to help Gohan. "What's this?" Peppa looks up amused. "Your all coming to save him? How cute!"Peppa looks down at Gohan lifting him up off the ground powering-up then leaps into the air away from the other warriors.
"Gohan!" Goku yells out horror stuck knocking warriors aside trying to get to his son.
"What is he doing?" Heles said in a disgusted tone.
"His actions have drawn everyone's ire! Is he trying to get himself targeted by everyone?" Pell asks sternly.
"Drawing everyone's attention yes, getting eliminated no" Sour coldly interjects.
"Are you approving of his shameless actions?" Heles demands. Sour just points down to where the rest of Universe 2's warriors were at in a long 180 degree cordain around Korn.
"I see, Peppa has drawn everyone away from our warriors so they can rest and recover their stamina" Pell says calculatedly.
"So in his own way he is providing assistance to his comrades while staying true to the maniac he is" Heles notes. "It's a display of his love and the beauty of his battle…" Hele mutters to herself.
Peppa laughs, Gohan afraid to resist too much seeing a glowing hand over his mouth from Peppa. Gohan had an image of Peppa unleashing another Dark Saber through his mouth. Gohan knew it would kill him and Peppa would be disqualified. It was a crazy thought but Gohan was up against a madman who has shown to be unpredictable. He didn't want to chance it.
Peppa used Gohan's body as a shield against punches and kicks from the other warriors. Even their ki blasts. Even more disturbing Peppa used Gohan's body like a weapon swatting other warriors away. When the other warriors saw they were doing more harm than good they backed off. Peppa removed his left hand from Gohan's mouth and gripped around his throat instead.
"Even if you beat me…" Gohan said weakly. "Retribution will come to you! It always comes to scum like you!" Gohan spits in Peppa's face.
"Stop exaggerating. You know I have been watching you. Your like me, you have the power of a Super Saiyan without going Super Saiyan. Were like the ultimate Super Saiyans, but your just a weak, pathetic, tailless imitation of me!" Peppa teases. "I was hoping for a good fight from you but you just aren't good enough. Should have trained harder" Peppa teases once more. Gohan looked back on his life and realized that all that time he wasted with school, books, and career amounted to nothing.
As a teenager he was raw potential he should have never listened to his mom and he should have kept training to be the strongest. He should have known there is always someone stronger coming to challenge them. He was a fool to think someone of his caliber could allow himself to get so weak. Now it's too late and he knew it.
"How does it feel to have your existence ground away slowly? You will watch in the stands as my overwhelming force terrorizes the other warriors with little to no chance to retaliate?" Peppa mocks him. Peppa powers-up his Dark Saber causing Gohan more pain and suffering. Kahseral did not like how Peppa was using his stolen technique.
"STOP THIS!" Goku yells out leaping up next to them. Peppa turns his head and gives him a wicked look. "Have you no honor?!" Goku demands to know.
"Son Goku, I heard the rumors before the tournament. You wanted this tournament to happen! You're the one who wanted to fight the strongest in the universes! Were here with our existence on the line because of YOUR DESIRE TO FIGHT US! AND YOU SPEAK TO ME ABOUT HONOR AND FAIR PLAY?!" Peppa enraged yells at Goku who is struck speechless. "I'm doing what I must to ensure the survival of my universe you all don't like it?! Tough! I DON'T CARE!" Peppa roars powering-up further to a Super Saiyan God much to everyone's horror. His power blows everyone back or down into the ground.
"That blazing aura…" Krillin trembles with fear.
"No..it can't be…" Beerus looks truly disturbed.
"He's a Super Saiyan God…" Piccolo eyes widen with great concern for Gohan.
"This power...his basedgod form rivals that of Super Saiyan Blue?" Vegeta looks on with outrage.
"S-stop...just...stop…" Gohan asks weakly.
"Now that's what I call begging" Peppa laughs his voice sounding dark and distorted. "Who will you think of last before that white light of Zeno ends your existence and the existence of everyone you love and care for in your universe who you failed to save because your so weak?" Peppa mocks him once more. "Your mother? Your lover? Your child? You're probably reliving your childhood now as your life flashes before your eyes!" Peppa continues to laugh insanely. "This is fun! This what you wanted right Son Goku?!" Peppa pulls the Dark Saber from Gohan and power kicks him in the abdomen sending Gohan clear off the stage.
"NO! GOHAN!" Goku yells out looking up in great rage at Peppa who hovers down slowly with his arms outstretched with a dark and sinister look to match the blood red hair, eyebrows, and glowing red eyes. Peppa gently lands on the ground and powers down. Goku looked confused. "Don't you want to fight me?" Goku asks. Peppa does the worst thing he could think of to do to someone like Goku.
"No, I don't. A God has no quarrel with an ant" Peppa teases darkly.
"Are you saying I'm not WORTH fighting?!" Goku had a dark look about him.
"Yes, I am" Peppa holds up the peace sign to his forehead.
"No!" Goku yells out realizing what Peppa was about to do but is too slow as he teleports away. Leaving Goku standing there among the warriors feeling outraged.
"Gohan of Universe 7 has dropped out" Grand Priest announces. Zeno blacks out the picture on the godpad.
"Goku's son got eliminated!" Zeno on the left said. "He lost!" Zeno on the right replied.
"That sick, twisted, disturbed, backstabbing, mortal freak!" Beerus rants and complains.
"And then there were five" Whis adds looking over to the injured Gohan leaning up against Piccolo. Other warriors looked around taking in all of what they saw and heard. The emotional atmosphere changed to a darker one as the fighting picked back up getting more violent and vicious than before. Goku looked around seeing no one was having fun anymore and everyone was out to win by any means.
"It's not supposed to be like this..." Goku mutters darkly. Caulifla watched not knowing what to feel or think about Peppa's horrific actions. She turned away from the fighting spot to check up on Kale only to see Peppa back in his spot to her surprise. He was leaned up against the rubble with his eyes closed like he was asleep. She was completely dumbfounded. Did he trust her and Kale that much? Did he feel that safe he could just sleep next to them knowing they fight on opposing sides? Caulifla realized she didn't know this saiyan at all or what he was capable of and that excited her and got her blood flowing. She liked it, she liked him...
