At Universal End
Destruction and Misery are in their paths… ~Romans 3:16
"Universe 6 and 7 upon facing their impending erasure, have deemed it necessary to work together with the warrior from Universe 3" Grand Priest informs the Zenos who look at one another with excitement. Grand Priest watches intently as Peppa defends himself against three opponents all at once. Katopesla attacks Peppa's left side while Goku attacks his right side. Peppa powers-up firing a Disappear attack at both of them knocking them away. Peppa then leaps up in the air to meet Pirina punching him so hard Pirina flies into the ground kicking up dust.
"Both sides are fighting in extreme conditions" Grand Priest points out to the Zenos who watch Pirina's arms stretch past the cloud of dust punching Peppa further into the air striking him multiple times. Peppa becomes furious leaning to his left to dodge the right hand of Pirina and vice versa with the right. Peppa's golden aura ignites around as he flies at high speed amassing energy in his right fist and slams it into the gut of Pirina causing a massive explosion.
Pirina lays twitching beneath Peppa's feet. Peppa went to fire a Disappear to end it when Katopesla races by grabbing Pirina out of the way. Peppa's attack misses kicking up alot of dust as he looks around for them but can't see so he leaps up only to be met by Super Saiyan Blue Goku.
From the other side of the stage Korn turns his head hearing the earth shattering blows from their violent exchange.
"Korn go! We got these guys!" Kakunsa orders with a ferocious grin on her face. Korn nods.
"Don't lose" Korn orders them.
"We wont! Now go, perform the Potara Fusion with Peppa!" Zirloin yells. Korn nods powering-up with a clear aura dashing away in a fast sprint.
"We the warriors of Universe 2 will not allow you to stop our most powerful warriors from fusing!" Prum declares lovingly and strikes a pose. Dr. Paraoni and his three robotic creations leap down and go on the attack in a four-on-three brawl.
Pirina recovers from his latest injuries staggering to his feet watching Goku and Peppa exchange violent blows with one another the mere air coming off their clashing fists destroys the surrounding area around them. Goku and Peppa lock fists with one another flying back down to the ground sliding across it.
Peppa pulls Goku close head butting him then knocks him away. Goku rebounds from the ground leaping toward Peppa who also catches glimpses of Katopesla and Pirina charging in. Once again all three are around Peppa trying to strike him down while he fights tooth and nail against the three opponents.
Peppa uses Tien's move and makes three clones of himself one for each opponent while the real Peppa leaps to the high ground holding up his right hand collecting massive golden energy above it.
"Ruination of Love!" Peppa says in a cold voice. Peppa pulls back on his right hand hurling the ball of energy into the air as it shatters into a melodiously rains ki energy. The blast rains down on Goku, Katopesla, and Pirina while destroying the other three Peppa clones who explode with energy further injuring the three warriors. "Well done Universe 3, 6, and 7. You are worthy opponents" Peppa compliments them in a dark voice using this time to catch his breath while the three struggle to get to their feet looking up at Peppa with hopeful smiles. Peppa hated that look, he wanted to devour the hope from them and watch them nash and gnaw in anguish.
"Were not through yet! We still have some fight in us still!" Goku laughs. Peppa looks down at them with an annoyed look.
"In that case, I shall reciprocate with all my strength holding nothing back" Peppa said in a malicious tone his dark golden yellow eyes stares down at them with intense hate. Peppa yells raising his power level even higher. The image of a Golden Oozaru briefly appears as his monstrous roar echo across the void. "Take this! My love…" Peppa says in a dark tone thinking of Celeron and Brianne. "My anger…" Peppa thinks of Zeno, the angels, the multiverse, and the Tournament of Power. "And all my sorrow!" Peppa says in a cold voice his mind flashing back to Nishi, Saltz, and Garlik. "Behold the Gravity of my emotions! Behold my Dark Heart!" Peppa tells them with a cold blank expression across his face.
"What is that?" Goku yells out looking above Peppa. Black lighting sparked and flowed all around Peppa and his golden aura. A blackish-purple heart with black lighting appeared above Peppa. Universe 2 Team stared down in astonishment and wonderment at the manifestation of Peppa's dark and negative emotions made real.
"It's my darling's heart!" Brianne yells out her fists to her chest with a giddy lustful smile.
"Could that be…?" Heles pauses looking at Peppa in a whole new light. "How can someone so ugly as him be so breathtakingly beautiful at the same time?" Heles stare down in wonderment. Peppa stood there on the pillar, head bow, his dark wild hair masking his face and blowing all over the place, the dim lighting caused by the Dark Heart and Peppa's golden aura gave him a severe sinister look.
"This looks like the big one guys, he is going to try to end it with this attack" Katopesla warns Goku and Pirina who get on guard. Pirina fires a beam at the heart watching it distort its line around the heart and gets absorbed by the darkness growing bigger and more powerful.
"You see how it absorbed it and grew stronger? This attack wont be easy to counter '' Goku warns them.
"It was sucked in?" Caulifa and Krillin both said out loud in shock.
"What is that?" Tien and Cabba both say out loud with stunned expressions.
"It must be what they call the weight of their love, focused into one point to create a mass of gravity" Whis assumes outloud wondering where Universe 2's remaining warriors got such a burst of energy from. He glances over at Sour and Brianne wondering if they had something to do with it.
"That's the legendary attack not even our maidens could attain!" Heles says like a giddy young school girl with a hopeful expression and overwhelming pride in Peppa. All across the worlds of Universe 2 everyone was chanting and zealously cheering Peppa's name and saying such things like "Thank our loving star we have saiyans!" or "The saiyans really are the most superior combat race across the multiverse!" and "You can do it saiyans of our beloved Universe 2!" their prayers were fed to Peppa making him stronger and stronger.
"Love to heavy can at times bind and torture" Sour forwarns the team narrowing his eyes at Peppa as if he knew something terriable was about to happen to him.
"Those who have mastered love can control its weight can unleash that beautiful hidden technique of ruin!" Heles proclaims. Su Roas turns her head looking up at Brianne.
"I was wrong, your love for Peppa and the bond you two develop and now share made this possible. Forgive my lack of faith. I'm a terrible friend" Su Roas tells Brianne who looks down at her and gives a forgiving smile.
"It's ok, love endures all, forgives all, does not boast, and is patient" Brianne tells her, then she looks down and yells out "I LOVE YOU PEPPA! GO ALL THE WAY AND WIN FOR OUR UNIVERSE 2!" Brianne yells out lovingly. The whole team started to chant for Peppa feeling overwhelming love. Even Jimeze who hated Peppa found himself at the edge of his seat cheering him on.
Peppa swings his right hand down as the Dark Heart flies toward Goku, Pirina, and Katopesla. They get caught in the heart with darkness all around them falling to one knee. Peppa holds out his right hand yelling out as the heart starts to sink and starts to break through the stage.
"It's really heavy, heavier then the machine at my friend Bulma's home" Goku tells them. Goku tries to use Instant Transmission but it fails. "Instant Transmission is no good" he tells them.
"It's weight shatters the earth and sinks" Hermila points out.
"At this rate it'll go through the stage into the out of bounds" Jimeze adds-in.
"Universe 3, 6, and 7 drown in the darkness of my hate and fall together in my love!" Peppa said in a menacing tone.
"Universe 2, you just keep surprising me" Goku snickers. Pirina and Katopesla look at one another under strained wondering how Goku could snicker at such a dire moment as they continue to break through the stage. "I kinda get just how amazing this power of love thing is" Goku compliments Peppa speaking up in a strain voice so Peppa can hear him but it doesn't even look like Peppa even cares. "But for me, more then love I prefer guts!" Goku gets to his feet much to Katopesla and Pirina's amazement.
Goku powers-up using Kaioken Super Saiyan Blue form. The Dark Heart stops sinking in the stage. Peppa just grunts reaching out with his left hand placing it on his right wrist powering-up with a golden aura trying to force push the Dark Heart threw the stage. Just moments away Korn races on foot when he senses a presence and dodges out of the way of a ki blast. Korn looks around but sees no opponent.
"The hell?" Korn says in a surprised tone leaping out the way only to be hit by a volley of ki blast then knocked around four times by an unseen force smashing threw several pillars of rock tumbling across the ground. Korn quickly rebounds to his feet looking around sensing two flickering power levels that seem to come and go.
Korn suddenly felt a tug on his right hand as he was violently flung over head tumbling across the ground and off the stage.
"Korn!" Vikal yells out. The Universe 2 team take their eyes off of Peppa to see Korn hanging off the stage by his left hand with a freaked out face.
"Whose he fighting? I don't see anyone?" Pell says outloud.
"It's faint but there they are, its two of them" Heles gives an intense look scanning the ground.
Korn uses his hand to front flip himself back up on the stage but his eyes widen when after he lands he sees his right foot had not touched the ground. Suddenly he is tossed into the air doing a backflip and is violently struck in the back flying off the stage to Universe 2 team's horror. Korn instinctively twists firing a Black Rose Kamehameha blasting himself back on the stage backflipping in the air sliding across the ground taking a defensive posture.
Korn had a freaked out facial expression his eyes darting everywhere then he eyes Universe 4's team in the stand noting they have eight warriors in the stand and at the beginning of the tournament they only had eight visible warriors.
"So that's it, its Universe 4 now" Korn mutters to himself. Prum, Zirloin, and Kakunsa were busy fighting across the stage against Universe 3, Peppa was in front of him with a warrior from Universe 3 and the only remaining warriors of Universe 6 and 7. The only thing standing in Korn's way now from getting to his cousin and using the Potara Fusion was Universe 4's two mysterious warriors. At the same time Universe 11 two remaining warriors Jiren and Toppo watch from their high place untouched and with full power and stamina while everyone else was exhausted.
Goku fires a massive Kamehameha from within the Dark Heart. The wave twists and bends but continues to break through the darkness.
"What?" Peppa had a stunned look seeing a blue light coming from his Dark Heart. Peppa couldn't move from his spot without giving up control of the Dark Heart. He knew if he gave up control now they would win. So Peppa gave it everything he had picturing Universe 2, his cousin Celeron, Nishi, Brianne, Garlik, Saltz, even the annoying members of the Kamikaze Fireballs with the thought of Zeno snapping his fingers and erasing them.
What happened next, happened so suddenly that everyone in the stands and the fighting around the stage came to a sudden halt. They heard the Dark Heart smash through the bottom of the stage taking with it Goku, Pirina, and Katopesla with it into the void. At the same time Goku's Kamehameha wave landed a point blank shot on Peppa consuming him carrying him off the stage in that awful blue light. It was over before Peppa realized what had happened.
Katopesla removed his helmet and found himself with the Universe 3 team in the stands. Pirina open his eyes sitting up looking around to see the Universe 6 team with shocked and horrified facial expressions. Goku was on one knee when he looked up to see the Universe 7 team staring at him with pale faces.
Peppa was on the ground back in his base form with his shredded top over hanging his black jumpsuit. Peppa sat up opening his eyes and rubbing the back of his head.
"Darling?" Brianne said with a crushed voice. Peppa blinks looking around realizing where he was as he quickly gets to his feet.
"No...NO!" Peppa yells out in horror looking back at the Universe 2 team who just sat there not knowing what to say. Everyone suddenly looks over to the Grand Priest and the Zenos.
"For Universe 6 and 7 all warriors have dropped out. They have been wiped out, along with that Katopesla of Universe 3 has dropped out and so has Peppa of Universe 2" Grand Priest proclaims.
"We didn't get to see the Ultra thing this time" Caulifa says outloud with a disappointed groan.
"I'm sorry Brianne…" Peppa says in a shameful voice full of despair hugging his side and bowing, planting his face into the ground. His hair hid the tears of shame that were running down his cheek. "You trusted it all to me and I failed you" Brianne just stares at Peppa wiping her tears away walking down the steps getting down on her knees reaching out to Peppa. Peppa lifts his head to see her warm smile holding out her hands to him like Nishi did. Peppa wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his face in her stomach and she just smiled and held him.
"It's okay my love, as long as you won. The others can handle the rest" Brianne comforts Peppa lovingly running her right hand up and down his bruised back.
"Exposure to repeated extreme conditions can lead to acclimation. I would have loved to have seen just how powerful you could have gotten" Sour comments looking down at Peppa pulls himself away from Brianne looking up at Sour with a bank look. Brianne takes Peppa by the hand and leads him up the stand to sit next to herself and Sour. "At least you finally broke your shell and unleash your true power surpassing all your previous limitations. I guess we will never know if it would have been enough to fight Jiren though" Sour said in a pleasing tone.
"And now Universe 6 and 7...will be erased!" Grand Priest said in a loud tone as everyone went silent.
"Okay!" Future Zeno says by himself. The younger Zeno paused ever so slightly realizing he would be erasing his friend Goku. Future Zeno and even the Grand Priest stared at him. "Something wrong?" Future Zeno asked pausing for a moment with his right hand in the air. "But Goku?" Zeno says only to be cut off by the Grand Priest.
"His universe lost, no expectations it's not fair to the ones already gone" Grand Priest tells the present Zeno.
"Yeah! Okay?" Future Zeno looks at his younger self. Zeno just stares at him then looks down at Goku and Universe 7. "Okay…" Zeno says in a sadden tone. He holds up his left hand. The light starts to glow in their hands. Peppa looks over at Universe 6 and then at Universe 7 then back up at the Zenos clenching his fists.
"STOP!" Peppa yells out to the Zenos. Everyone pauses including the Zenos who all stare at Peppa. "Don't do this! You don't have to do this! Please don't do this! You're the Omni-king! This is madness! This is-"
"Silence! Or your whole Universe will be erased" Grand Priest warns. Peppa just clenches his fists lowering his head in silent defeat as he sits back down. Brianne puts her left hand over the shoulder of Peppa and holds him close. Universe 6 and 7 hated Peppa but at that moment they respected him the evil mortal who spoke out against the Omni-King.
Both Zenos pause looking at one another confused then back down at the stands as the bright light shines from their throne highlighting Universe 6 and 7 teams.
"Well done all of you" Beerus tells his team. Universe 2 became silent as their wands turned white giving Universe 6 and 7 a loving send off and a moment of silence out of respect for how hard they fought to try and survive.
"Well now that it has come to this, let us accept our fate gracefully" Piccolo tells the team. At that moment Gohan thinks of his wife Videl and his daughter Pan. Goku just sits on his bottom with his right leg up against his chest and his left leg on the ground as his thoughts wander to his wife Chichi, his son Goten, and his granddaughter Pan. Vegeta crosses his arms looking up at the void calling out Bulma, Trunks and his baby daughter Bulla. Krillin and No.18 hold each other thinking about their daughter Marron.
"Oh how can it be!" Vados says in a distressed tone using her left hand to hide her face and her tears. "All jokes and jabs aside, for this to be the real good bye to Champa-sama" Vados says thinking on all her fond memories of Champa and training him. Vados brings up her right hand to her face and begins to weep uncontrollably to everyone's surprise.
"Hold it! What are you doing over there?!" Champa yells out to his brother looking over at Universe 7 who sit there in solemn silence spending their last moments of thinking about the people they love and how they failed them.
"Well? Aren't you going to clobber me?" Pirina looks up at Caulifa while sitting next to Saonel, with Kale tugging playfully on his right arm. Caulfia just stood within arms reach on his right hand side.
"After seeing you fight like that how can I say anything" Caulifa answers him back. Pirina and Saonel give Caulifa a respectful nod. "But a promise is a promise!" Caulfia looks up with a grin. Caulifa turns into a Super Saiyan and chases them both playfully around the stands with Kale following with a look of happiness on her face.
"This to is fate" a calm Fuwa tells the group bowing his head and closing his eyes. Champa stares back at them then over to his brother standing tall and proud having enjoyed fighting side by side with him until the end. Beerus stands with his back to his brother, his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
"Hey bro" Champa calls out to him. Beerus opens his right eye slightly turning his head looking over his shoulder at his brother. The awful blue light appears above both Universe 6 and 7.
"Master Vegeta, good bye!" Cabba calls out to him. Vegeta opens his eyes and gives a respectful nod to him and just like that with Zeno's fist closing both Universe 6 and 7 vanish from the multiverse, both wiped out from existence. Right before Champa disappears he makes a silly face toward his brother. Then they were both gone. Whis stood alone, his head bowed and his eyes closed. Vados was left alone sobbing with her face hidden in her hands. Universe 2 team just bow their heads out of respect along with the remaining universes.
As the battle for survival nears its end, which universe will be victorious? Only 10 minutes remain...
