33. Chapter 233:Sullen Grace

Chapter 233: Sullen Grace of the Bottomless Appetite.

Lacus was one of the many who was confused when a giant frog suddenly appeared below her. Her curiosity swiftly transformed to dread as she saw Yaldabaoth devour the moon, and go on a feeding frenzy, before the massive tongue shoot in her direction.

Lacus quickly cast a barrier around her that was sturdy enough to repel the tongue, and as it headed for her opponent the fused Saiyan grit her teeth and flung a green energy sphere at the frog to repel its assault." I'm no meal you stinking frog! This is my fight! Man, this day keeps getting crazier!"

The Enji tensed up as she saw Yaldabaoth swiftly trying to eat Shinryudramon next, but glanced back at Kefla before throwing out a weary," Still think your allies have your interest at heart when you were moments away from your glorious battle ending in being digested by a giant Kermit?"

"Piff…you think I'm a sheltered girl like you angel?" The fused Super Saiyan spat out." I'm a big girl, I know the others want to win as badly as me and that means no time for throwing down half-cocked! Think we have second thoughts? As if, the thrill is just part of what makes a real fight count!"

"Sigh…you really are thoroughly Saiyan. That's why I know the only way to get through to you, is to speak your language!"

The winged warrior swiftly unleashed a holy spell at her foe, and while Kefla roundhouse kicked the white sphere of energy away it exploded in her face intensely enough to blind her. As she recoiled the Saiyan warrior felt something tangle her arm and saw that Lacus had flung her energy ribbon at her arm.

Kefla grit her teeth as she grasped the ribbon tightly." Think we are dumb enough to fall for the same old tricks huh? This time I'm going to choke you with your, ow!"

Just as the women in red was about to try and tug Lacus into her before the ribbon suddenly sprouted thorns sharp enough to draw blood. Just as Kefla reacted Lacus burst forward to kick her hard in the head.

The Enji saw her enemy quickly rebound, and as she rubbed her bruise Lacus threw out a casual shrug." As they say, the " fragile" roses can have some rather sharp thorns."

"Oh I'll do more then prick you " Raystar". " Kefla seethed out as her energy exploded." I'll shut you up with your own wings! Fist Cannonball!"

Lacus braced herself as her opponent formed green ki sphere in her hand and hurled it like she was throwing a baseball. Ben's girlfriend quickly flew out of its way, only to see the blast swerve back to home in on her.

The woman in Valkyrie like armor saw Kefla grinning and unleashed another Radiant Burst spell to have another swarm of Flower Funnels attack her opponent with the hopes of breaking her focus. But seeing the attack just caused Kefla to have a wild look in her eye." You're not special enough to be the only one that can have their energy blasts fly around all over the place Raystar! Gigantic Blast!"

Kefla had a massive green and red energy sphere form in her free hand and had it shatter in to smaller ones, that flew off in all directions. Lacus cringed as some of the energy orbs collided, and vaporized her Flower Funnels before a few more came her way.

As she deflected a few of them with the Oath-keeper she saw her enemies excited look and grimaced." She learns quick, as tackless as she is, as a fused fighter she seems to have even greater fighting instincts. Either way, the more this drags out the more ways things can go wrong. So that means, got to take a risk. Rising Crescent!"

The Enji Knight unleashed her enhanced slash attack to slice through the incoming energy orbs and headed straight for who sent them. Kefla saw Lacus looking right at her before she grinned." We are making you crack under pressure eh? I knew I would pound away your fake, huh?"

Lacus suddenly had her aura surge before she speed up her charge, and dove to slice into her opponent. Kefla dodged fast enough to avoid being cut, but still had her shirt get sliced into.

Before she could even curse about it Lacus attacked with even more speed, and the two dashed around as blurs for a few moments before Kefla suddenly caught the blade in her hand. Lacus attempted to try and stab the left earring to try and break the fusion.

As she saw her enemies angry look she gave the fused woman a harsh glare right back." I don't care how much you love fighting, I'm not going to let such a stupid self-absorbed reason take everything form me!"

"You think your wings mean you can look down on us Raystar? You know nothing about us, and no matter who looks down on us, not even you divine folk will be allowed to diss us!"

Kefla shocked Lacus by suddenly ripping off her torn shirt and flinging it at Lacus's sword hand to entangle it. The moment Lacus was shocked Kefla pulled Lacus closed to her and unleashed a headbutt strong enough to stagger the Enji.

Kefla grinned before kicking Lacus right at the back of the neck to further disorientate her, and as Lacus coughed Kefla looked indifferent to her now topless state as raw rage burned in her eyes." You think you're the only one allowed to use those kinds of tricks angel?

People have been looking down on us, all our damn lives! Saiyan Girls were never taken seriously as fighters, at least not as elites. The fact that we dared to grasp for what the people on top said we did not deserve gave us enemies on all sides.

They all told us what girls should have been, but we showed them just like we will show you! A spoiled pampered elite like you who's had everything handed to you on a sliver plate could never understand how hungry we are for victory!"

"So, the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta were more progressive after all?" Lacus threw out wearily." Go figure. I am sorry you guys got a raw deal, trust me I know. But you don't know me, don't assume I had it easy. I had to, GUH!"

In a flash Kefla kicked Lacus in the face to knock her back a few feet before she seethed out," Shut up! The little pains you went to are lightweight to what we went through! Everyone tried to define what we are, but this is what we are!"

Kefla ripped her pants off without a second thought before she seethed out a vengeful," We are what we are, and we are going to bash anyone that has a problem with,"

Lacus suddenly showed she was not as beaten down as she let on as she unleashed a Radiant Burst energy beam right at her target. As a explosion of holy energy got back up the warrior of light gave a wary sigh." I respect your pride, however misguided it is. But, that kind of, GUH!"

Kefla showed she was not as shocked by the last attack as Lacus hoped as Lacus felt a pain surge into her neck.

As she went flying she saw Kefla smirk before shouting out," You thinking we were to stupid to notice your surge in power is going to be your last mistake Raystar!"

Before Lacus even finished landing on the ground the Super Saiyan jumped on her and grasped her arms with her own.

Kefla had an energy orb form in her chest and aimed it at the woman below her head before she looked determined." I won't lie, your not half bad a fighter Lacus Raystar. But you just don't have our hunger for victory! To bad, no matter what your reason is or who your fighting for, in the end that's all that matters! Hey at least you won't have to be eaten by 21 or this Neo monster eh? Say good, whoa!"

Kefla was about to try and finish Lacus off when suddenly the third woman of the Antitype Apostle bloodline had her eyes glow white.. A claw of raw energy promptly shot out of her aura right for the woman above her head.

The fused woman from planet Salda jumped back in shock and saw the claw burst at her again , and was fast enough to slice into her arm before she cursed."The hell is this? What kind of angel has a claw out of her back?"

Kefla was even more shocked to see Lacus slowly get back up, only more hunched over, nearly like a feral beast. As her aura started to boil over Lacus hissed out," You really want to see who's more hungry for victory girls? I don't you not to push her, because now you have to deal with me!"

The Saiyan was shocked to see Lacus was talking with a completely different voice before she gulped."Hey, you were using fusion this whole time to?"

"Not quite girls, but the gist of it is that since you knocked so hard now I'm out to play! You want to see wild rage is eh? Be my guest"!

The woman staggered for a moment before Lacus grasped her head tightly, and cleared her throat." Kisara, I know its been a while but that's not how this is going to work! We are doing this, together! Kefla, maybe I gave the impression of a spoiled naïve woman but while I was not born poor, I had to struggle quite a lot in my life.

I endured through so much loss that I nearly lost my mind, but when I was at the brink I endured to not lose what mattered most to me! I have kind wishes that might seem soft, but only because I seen how cruel the world is and want with all my heart to change it for the better.

For so long, I put my faith in a man that trusted and let him get me to think for a while that kindness was weakness, that such things just made you a pushover. But, thanks to the man I loved I was able to have faith in compassion.

However, that made me afraid of unleashing my rage, to hurt people like what happened in the past. I tried to shun off that part of me but I realize, rage can be dangerous but, anger is something that's needed just as much as every other emotion.

After all…sometimes people can't be reached out to with kindness, sometimes you have to fight, and be angry enough to not give up when it gets hard. Being able to control your emotions may sound like a no duh kind of thing but, only by really experiencing it all can one understand how to control them, and understand how to know oneself truly. I want to be kind to others, but also have the strength to protect them. After all, its my duty as a mother of sort."

"No way, you're a mom? You must have been super young when you popped it out eh?"

"Hey wait hold on that's that's not what I meant!" A flustered Lacus spat out defenselessly." I just mean, my job makes me the mother of everyone, in a sense. And as they say, nothing's more furious then a mother's rage!"

"Nice speech Angel but what the hell does that mean! Huh?"

Kefla was shocked as Lacus's armor suddenly faded. The Enji glanced around and saw that the two had moved far enough away from the others that they were like dots. The warrior of light smiled and took a deep breath before she suddenly had her body become transparent to have her clothing fell off her.

She walked up naked to the fused Saiyan before she waved her hand and had a reinforced barrier form around her clothing before she walked up a little bit to look at Kefla right at the face." Never thought I would do this twice in one day but, I have not testing this new power yet so rather not waste magic recreating a outfit if I can help it.

At least, for now I'm far enough away that I don't have to worry about endangering the others. Kefla, if your bearing your true self, I'll do the same. Get ready, this is all my anger, my sorrow, and all of my determination to protect what I care about! Now or never Kisara, lets do this! Come forth... Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Lacus once more had a card of light form out of her necklace and she quickly grasped it. She thrusted it into the air before the golden bracelet Philemon gave her shined with light. Energy surged around Lacus before she looked determined." I know my self now, and I won't run away! I am thou... Thou art I...Kisara, execute full spirit synchronization! Persona Armatization!"

The image of the Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon appeared above Lacus, before the Geass symbol appeared on her hand again, and the dragon suddenly surged into her body. Lacus screamed out, as a pillar of blue fire erupted around her.

The brown haired woman fell to her knees and screamed in pain before she grasped her fist and seethed out." This time, I'm in control. This is, my fury!"

She then grasped her face with her other hand, before holy energy formed around it to form a dragon like mask.

The fire suddenly consumed her, and transformed into the same kind of armor as before, but more wild like. She then hunched over as her very wings transformed into a more draconian like shape.

Kefla could not help but look shocked as Lacus became completely clad in armor, till she looked like a humanoid version of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

As two whole new arms set with large claws formed out of Lacus's sides the fused Saiyan blinked in shock." What, what kind of angel is this? What are you?"

Ribbons appeared out of the Enji Knight's back, and grasped the discarded Oath keeper sword to turn it into a tail. Lacus suddenly unleashed a vicious roar as she looked at Kefla with murderous eyes." I'm not a normal angel, I'm Lacus Raystar! Get ready girls, I'm through fighting " gracefully"! No more masks, no more false self's, this is my will unrestrained!"

"Heh, not bad Raystar. But we seen Saiyans go wild, and great apes get even bigger! Your not going to s, huh?"

Kefla felt a gust of wind and realized Lacus was gone. She felt blood drip down her face and realized she was cut, before she swerved around to see Lacus was suddenly hunched over behind her. Lacus just growled again as she brandished all four of her claws." I'm not doing this to scare you, I'm going to crush you! Your just lucky I'm still adjusting to this!"

The woman with golden green hair grasped her wound and realized her cut was sizzling before she giggled with excitement." Heh, this, is awesome! Despite how long-winded you are you're a hell of a fighter! That being said...beating you like this, will just prove how awesome we are! You may be strong, but our teammates are even more hungry for victory then you! That's why I'm going to trash you before they get there chance!"

Lacus heard Acacia roar in the distance and responded by having her aura explode like it was a raging blue and white inferno as she stomped the ground hard enough to crack it." Then I'll just have to be more hungry for victory then everyone else! Now put up or shut up!"

The woman newly merged with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon had her makeshift tail suddenly extend and thrust for her opponent's chest. Kefla swerved to avoid it, but that left her open for Lacus to suddenly burst forward and smash her in the face.

While the Enji tried to follow up by attacking with her other three claws, Kefla caught two and evaded the other, and gave off a grunt that had just a inch of tension as lighting crackled around her aura. She then unleashed all her fury to show she was not backing down.

The two unleashed such intense blows that more then half of the exchanges caused shock-waves. This caught the attention of most of the Enji Knight's allies, and as the Persona user Ryuji saw Lacus's new state he just flinched." Seriously? That's the same chick from before? She did not say she was a Persona user to! But, her outfit's got all theses extra bells and whistles! Damn, what should her code name be?"

"I'll call her god, savior or whatever if she can get the job done." His comrade Makoto retorted sharply." Just watch your back, that Ragyō woman's getting even more crazed."

The blond member of the Phantom Thieves saw another large COVER monster stomping for his group, only for the Life-Fiber monster to get vaporized by a stray blast of black lighting Ragyō was flinging around as she was reveling in her new power. Ryuji saw how close he was to being fried and just gulped." Got it Queen."

Velvet, Collette and the other Enji saw the new state Lacus was in, and seeing Lacus for the first time utilizing the power of the Blue-Eyes White dragon caused, the woman with the demonic claw saw how vicious Lacus was before she whistled." Damn, I saw the recorded footage but, guess Lacus really is all but a beast now."

Elandor looked at Lacus curiously before she nodded." So if I get this right she did some sort of fusion with the Dragon's soul? That all but seems like Armatization
pack I had with Lapichet."

"Not quite." Collette answered confidently."Its a more advanced form she was able to create with her own power. She may be fighting like a beast but her soul is as calm as before. I was worried that Butterfly lady and all those Velvet Room people were trying to trick us but it seemed to have worked, Lacus just got the power back but now she is the one in control."

"Heh, long as she can out rage all these freaks then works for me. All right, help me break through this rainbow dike's tricks Collette."

"On it! Judgment!"

Lacus's angelic friend from the world of Sylvarant unleashed a barrage of holy energy attacks to try and turn the tide of the battle.

---

As she did Shinryudramon briefly saw this, but the Digimon's attention was forced to be reverted to the giant frog that was trying to eat him before the Royal Knight type Digimon glared back at the giant tongue he was still stuck to." Oh man, Lacus's scent changed again! What's going on? Stupid frog, get out of my way I have things I have to do!"

Shinryudramon tried to drill the organ he was still stuck to, only to see Yaldabaoth's tongue was rubbery enough to shrug off the drill before he winced." Man, guess this thing was not called godly for no reason! But, still, I'm not going to be, ow!"

Ben's Digimon partner was cut off as Yaldabaoth suddenly flung his tongue up to smash its current target into the ground.

Toriko charged forward to help his recent ally while yelling out," Hey Gourmet God you did not hear? You're the meal today! Jet Fork!"

The Gourment King unleashed a rapid barrage of lighting fast punches that shot out as energy forks, but as Yaldabaoth saw the attacks coming the giant frog hunched over, and caught all of the attacks on his back, before said back reflected every last projectile.

Zebra saw his blue haired comrade get hit his own attack before he snarled." Watch it moron the Gourmet God 's going to have god like instincts! Bah, cooking you will just prove we are the Gourmet Kings! Super Sound Wave Cutter…Murasame!"

Coco saw his comrade unleash a massive sound blast before his hand turned purple." No point holding back, Poison Spear!"

As the two fired their projectiles they were shocked to see Yaldabaoth dodge the attacks like it was a trained Ninja before Sunny swore." Oh come on, no matter how strong it is however big it is its still a frog! But, its entire body seems to be defying the laws of physics."

"He is, because of being granted" Gourment Inflation."

The Gourment Hunters swerved around to see Kaka slowly walking up. The Red Nitro just gave everyone a curt nod as she walked forward." Yes, ever since Gourment Cells spread across the cosmos, "Flavor" has constantly been growing and increasing.

The eight kings, like Heracles, Bambina and the others from earlier are a by product of Gourment Inflation, but Yaldabaoth is the apex of the Gourment Inflation! It's a understatement to say how difficult it is to cook it, but it is possible! Just listen very carefully because the method to cooking the Gourment God has to be done to the letter. First, I know a lot has happened but you all still have your cooking gear?"

"Hell yah!" Toriko shouted out eagerly. He went to take it out before he winced as he felt nothing." Hold on, maybe it was in my other pocket?"

As the blue haired man's fellow Gourmet Hunters looked anxiously to make sure their comrade did not forget something so crucial when everyone heard a sudden crunch sound. Toriko looked back up, and gasped in shock as he saw the Red Nitro in front of him suddenly only was a pair of legs.

The source of the sudden shocking turn of events quickly became apparent as the group saw Acacia munching on Kaka's body. The creature with a body of grotesque zits all over saw Toriko glancing at him and just burped." People say things like, " the sun will always rise" and "tomorrow always comes" But when your swallowed by Neo then well, it feels like it will never come again, for eternity I tell you what! Piff…disgusting Red Nitro, I don't need such trash getting idiots to cook my Full Course any other way other then how I want it!"

As the group glanced at Acacia in shock they suddenly heard a deranged giggle as Joie floated down besides him." Ah, the smell really is forming nicely. For all the set backs it is coming together perfectly, did it not Acacia?"

Toriko saw the hideous man lick his lips before he cringed." No, no way! This is really Acacia, holy "Bishokushin" who brought food to all! Wait, what the hell happened to Jiro and Ichiryu?"

As the Black Swan responded by laughing madly Acacia did not even seem to hear Toriko and just staggered forward. Yaldabaoth saw Acacia looking at it and stopped trying to eat Shinryudramon as it eyed the mutated man carefully, causing Acacia to drool with raw hunger."Ooohohoh…the prime ingredient, the manifestation of man kind's desire, up close its just so god damn juicy! Ugh, but there are all of theses disgusting flies buzzing around! I'll have to eat them even quicker then the last ones."

Acacia staggered to the giant frog before Toriko swiftly got in front of him to force eye to eye contact." You, your not Acacia, your just a demon scum that killed my mentors!"

"Haha…I see I got quite a reputation eh Joie?"

"Answer me damn it! They were suppose to be your students, your surrogate sons! How could you treat them like dog food!"

Acacia shocked everyone by pausing, and looking up at the sky with curiosity." I'd always wondered to myself, what am I? Why was I so different then those around me? I discovered my first unique ingredient when I was merely five…I can't even remember what it was any more. But, what I can remember is that somewhere deep inside me, there was a tremendous hunger, one that would not be sated no matter what I ate!

Just who and what was I? I would ask that again and again, so often that I was clutching my teeth so tight that I would drool…and it drove me so much that there was this ace throbbing as my blood boiled hot. This unstoppable rage…this madding lust…were theses really all my emotions?

Was I even in control of my own actions or was it my appetite? I ran desperately to try and escape it, but when I stopped running I realized I had devoured every ingredient in the god damn world. Their were no new ingredients before me, and all that was left was a mountain of discarded plates, and my empty soul.

I made a breakthrough when by chance I discovered PAIR and the other Blue Nitro, and found my true self awaken! I found enlightenment, and it told me that there still were unknown tastes to devour! I told Ichiryu I entrusted the food of the masses to him, and left to go through the long process of my "evolution."

All I wanted, was to know who I really was, is their anything more natural? Jiro and Ichiryu dying is just plain simple fate. Heh, after all, because god is shinning his light into my destiny! Though I reckon its more like I'll be god when this is done eh boy?"

Toriko saw Acacia bellow out cruelly before he snarled with rage, and shocked everyone by grasping the man in front of him right by the growth underneath his chin to drag him right into his face." I let you spew out enough crap so listen up you eyesore! Don't go blaming everything on your life on Gourmet Cells and your Appetite, that's no where even close to justifying what you did!

You goddamn Gourment Egoist! All of us decide for ourselves, and live according to are own will! I can promise you, the anger and rage I'm feeling now has nothing to do with my appetite! Its my soul shaking!"

Acacia saw the anger in the man's eyes and just laughed." Boy you got some really big guts I tell you what. But your so damn cocky that your blind! I'm not some damn beast, I'm the Bishokushin god! Right now…you can consider yourself to be grasping the collar of the world, if not the universe itself!"

"Wrong, its just the collar of one disgusting B level hunt!"

"Tsc…who you the hell you think you are boy?"

As Acacia bared a vicious snarl Komatsu was undaunted by the demonic glare and just shouted," Who do you think you are, talking to Toriko, the heavily cooking god like that! It's not your era any longer old man, it's ours!"

"Ugh…god damn punks, I'm done talking to scum! JOIE! Why are they still alive? I blabbed on and on so you could cook them when they were not looking!"

As the group looked shocked Joie shrugged." I been trying to since we landed but, my fungus won't attach to any of them."

Toriko saw Acacia raise a eyebrow before he grinned." We got a poison master on our side you freak! Hope you got a better plan then that!"

"Heh…hope." Acacia hissed out as he cracked his neck." You boys faces are all reeking with hope. People full of that, taste like vomit! Heh, just like that last Nitro freak I ate. Ah right, that was a guy I raised. Well, I did not raise no wuss but he turned out like that anyway! Right to the end, my boys were to stupid to pay their papa proper respect!"

Toriko 's eyes hardened before he snapped back with," I think, I know that right to the end, they were passing into us the hope they had for the future! I smelled the scent of hope, Zebra could feel its sound-waves, Coco through magnetic-waves and Sunny through vibrations in his hair! They entrusted us something that you can't break no matter how much rage you have!"

"God damn it boy, you small fries are all brimming with hope, I'm going to tenderize you till your ripe with despair so you can all taste good! Time you boys show me your most painful faces, as I whoop your very souls apart!"

"Guess its time to lay down who's appetite is the greatest eh!"

Joie snickered before the Black Swan had her aura flare up."Oh I'm so done with heroic sap speeches, at least when I rant I have substance to it! Have your fun Acacia while me and the Nitro go on and cook this tasty Gourmet God! Hundred-Million-Grater!"

As the Dark Chef went to dice the giant Frog, Sunny glared at the woman with the same face his mentor respected before his hair vibrated." Don't think we will just let you cut our dream! Satan Hair!"

The Gourment Hunter had his rainbow hair form a net and absorbed some of the attacks before some of the hair got chipped away. Joie was shocked her attack was stopped at all, before she suddenly felt something and saw that Coco had hit her with a Mold Spear projectile attack.

As she quickly used her power to neglect the poison that was attempting to spread into her Zebra charged at her and unleashed his voice cutter attack.

The Black Swan saw this and extended her free hand."Gold Chopping Board!"

A golden shield formed around her to neglect the attack. Seeing this just caused Zebra to snarl." Think your tricks will be enough broad? Your facing down a pack of the most hungriest demons around!"

Joie saw all of the Appetite Demons forming around the Gourmet Hunters and just sighed." You're a stubborn pack I'll give you that. But trust me, if I could subdue Midora, you runts have no chance!"

The Black Swan prepared to swing her knife down, before suddenly a pillar of blue fire erupted beneath her. She quickly shattered the fire with her swing before a male voice cut in with a damning," Don't think, the will of boss Midora can be subdued that easily, you traitor!"

The Gourmet Hunters glanced to the right to see Starjun wearily walk up with a few of his elite members like Grinpatch and Tommygun.

Shinryudramon at last got free from the grip of Yaldabaoth before he saw Starjun and the other Gourmet Corps members march up and groaned."Oh great, you guys want to have a rematch to? Not like this fight's gotten crowded enough as it is!"

Toriko saw Starjun glance at him and saw Acacia lick his lips before he cracked his neck." Ah so you at last recovered from that blow eh Starjun? What you want to settle things to? Fine lets get it on but I'm not letting you or your boss's boss have their way!"

"Your mistaken Toriko." Starjun retorted calmly. "My loyalty was always to Boss Midora. If Joie betrayed him, then she is my enemy as well! I'm willing to be professional enough to put aside our differences if it means getting the job done. I don't care what higher powers your working for " Dark Chief", it won't be enough for you to escape your fate!"

Joie saw the other Gourmet Corps members nodded before she rolled her eyes." Oh Starjun, how sad that you were groomed to be a tad to good of a loyal dog. You all have one chance to pick true greatness over primal loyalty."

Grinpatch spat on the ground before growling out," Boss Midora saved our lives and made us feel worth a damn! You did jack aside from lurking around plotting your grand plan Joie! And if your plan screws us over then screw you! Worm Breath!"

The lanky man took a deep breath before unleashing a storm of modified worms to all try and consume his target. Joie easily hacked the maggot barrage to pieces in moments, but as she prepared to counter attack Tommygun flew into the air and shouted out,"Cocoon Preservation!"

The member of the Gourmet Corps unleashed a large spider web from her mouth just as Joie sliced up Grinpatch 's attack and succeeded in binding her arm. As she widened her eyes in shock Starjun took out his blade once more and in a burst of speed charged for the Black Swan with a ruthless look." Single Blade…Yakgrill!"

Starjun had his sword erupt before he stabbed Joie and a stream of blue fire exploded out of the area. Grinpatch and Tommygun both cheered before they high fived each other. As the fire raged Joie laughed from within the fire." Did you dogs feel proud? I'm merciful enough to give you one scrap of triumph before you die!"

Joie suddenly flew out of the flames with a wicked grin, and as she flew above her targets Grinpatch snarled out,"You think you're so tough? We are going to mess you up so bad, huh? How long have we been running again? Everything's looking, GUH!"

The man with the bandanna suddenly coughed up blood, and before Tommygun could say anything she did the same. Starjun watched in horror as his two long time comrades suddenly melted into puddles of blood right in front of him." Grin…Tommy! The hell, nothing hit them!"

"Nothing you could see my poor child." Joie responded cruelly." But my aura fungus infected them the moment I heard there crude barking. It seems Midora thought you were special enough to make you immune before things got underway, but your ugly toadies did not share his concern. And as you see, those who can't resist my poison, are granted instant death!"

Starjun looked at all that remained at his comrades before he grasped his fist tightly."I'll concede they were not the most, graceful of individuals but they were loyal. And you will pay for the wrongs you have caused to the Gourmet Corps!"

"Cease your barking boy…the Gourmet Corps was something I prodded Midora to create to get what I wanted, so thus its mine to do what I see fit! If you can't wake up to the fact that your just a ingredient, then you will be cooked before you know it."

Starjun narrowed his eyes, before his third eye opened." Dismiss me as trivial and you will die. Do you even know who I am? Or, to be more precise, do you know who's son I am?"

"Am, I suppose to?"

"I suppose not. But this would make you more aware that this is retribution, and that ultimately you and Acacia are destined to be stopped by me!"

"What are you talking about? Did fear make you delusional. I don't know what fantasy Midora put in your head but when someone with as little food luck as you speaks about destiny…the word doesn't have any weight to it. Its only sounds to me…like your excusing your loss before the fight's even begun. Tsc, how droll..be gone! Flash Poison!"

Before her opponent could even react the Black Swan released a blinding flash. As Joie saw Starjun flinch her grin widened."You blinked for a fraction of a second, to me its as though time's stopped. By the time you open your eyes again, you'll already be in the afterlife. Hundred Million Layer Fillet!"

The Dark Chef went to attack, but suddenly she realized Starjun was to her right, and already preparing to attack."Single Stroke…Searing Sever!"

Joie saw the burning slash coming for her and evaded, readying a counter slash in return. However to her shock Starjun moved fast enough to escape her sight, and before she could fine where he went she heard,"Burner Punch!" He cried out.

The Black Swan evaded the slash, but still got sliced across the face. Joie hissed as she dashed back, and realized Starjun 's two main eyes were close before she hissed out," That third eye, its not for show I see.

Well, you're going to be tougher then I realized to cook, so be it. But you think that's enough to stop me? Very funny, hilarious Starjun! The destiny you speak of is merely youth! That bizarre confidence of yours is because you're young! I'll show you just how in vain the hopes and dreams of the ignorant and foolish young are!"

"It's not enough to give me unfounded confidence. And for your information…I'm not as young as you think. You and Acacia are the cocky ones, and you will pay for your delusions! You Gourmet Hunters, go help Toriko while I settle this."

"That's mighty cocky for you to give orders to us!" Zebra growled out. To which Starjun just sighed." Its not arrogance, its just that he needs more help and there is no time to play it safe."

Everyone heard a shock-wave in the distance before Coco winced." Damn it, guess you're right. No matter how tough this Acacia is, he won't be the one who gets his meal!"

Torkio's friends nodded to Starjun before they went over and heard the shock-waves. Said shock-waves were being caused by all the punches Toriko were unleashing. Despite how powerful the strikes were Acacia was just yawning.

As he saw Toriko give labored breaths he just burped." So this is the "power" of the Gourmet Hunter who embodies the current era eh boy? Hah, you're so straight forward its refreshing. Such a big appetite, but its not big enough to eat my dream son!"

"Don't get the wrong idea. Even if I defeat you my dream won't come true. Actually, there's just one thing. When you die and go to hell I want you to apologize to the family you betrayed before you have your first dish in the after life!"

Toriko prepared to punch Acacia with all of his might, only for a second face to appear, and hope its mouth right where the blue-haired man was punching. As he tried to swerve his punch Acacia grasped him by the head with his hands." A meal? I won't do that boy! I won't grant that damn wish of yours!

There's a difference between the battle cry of victory and the wails of defeat boy. I reckon that's the difference that gives it flavor. Embrace the flavor of what you call Neo, the flavor of despair that is Nyarlathotep!"

Toriko saw his hideous enemy glare at him as his aura shimmered, and after a second he fell to his knees, causing Acacia to laugh." It appears that you have mentally eaten the meat dish of the Full Course that is News. Originally the cell division of Gourmet Cells happened faster then the speed of light.

When you eat news, that speed is restored. By taking full advantage of that cell division the space around you appears though it's completely frozen in time. But that speed differs from person to person, and that decides the power of a" Back Channel" spell that someone can unleash. I've increased the rate of division to Max Level…thereby creating a space-time condensing to the max to.

Right now, in what should be just a second your body felt like you been through a month! Don't you idiots realize by now that my dark appetite can devour anything? Heh, by your face I reckon its starting to hit home.

Now, let me hear you scream! I'm sure you understand now you can't escape, I'll devour this entire planet before I do the same to the others!"

"I, I understand. Acacia, I never had anything against you till today but now, I know I'm going to pulverize and tenderize you!"

"What's that boy?"

"You heard me, in that point of extended time I'm the one who's been doing the apprising you!"

Toriko shocked his opponent by bursting forward to bit Acacia by the neck and ripping a piece of flesh off. As he devoured it the Gourmet Hunter did not even flinch. Acacia was to shocked to counter attack as he saw Toriko wipe his mouth."Acacia, you wanna know why...I'm going to beat you even though I don't hate you?" Its so I can eat you! I found a flavor inside you that feels like it's going to erupt even now! And now I know your going to be the Meat Dish in my full course!"

The response caused Acacia to have his eye twitch as he widened his eyes." Your going to eat me boy? I don't care how poorly Ichiryu raised yah, there ani't a greater insult to a god then saying your gonna eat him!"

"It's not an insult, it's the upmost sigh of respect! I'll use my best chopsticks, the golden spoon and fork I got and everything!"

"Piff…enough. I'll show you what respect looks like. Chopsticks…forks…spoons…what do you think god uses when he eats Toriko? The object of divinity, his bare hands! Gourmet Hand!"

Toriko saw his enemy created a gigantic golden hand of his own Appetite Energy and before he could respond he was smashed by it. An enormous hand print the size of a stadium was left in the ground, but Toriko was still standing, but his Blue Ogre Appetite Demon had once more came out and hissed at Acacia." Well if you don't want to be shown respect, then we can play it that way to! Blue Spit!"

The transformed Gourmet Hunter punched his target faster then Acacia expected, and was punched with enough force to be launched halfway through the planet.

As the mutated man stopped himself he saw Toriko coming right for him while yelling out,"Devil Fork!"

"Damn it boy, mock me and I'll whop you so hard you will be begging for me to kill yah! Gourmet Punch!"

The two struggled to overpower each other, and before Acacia could attempt to unleash his next move he could he saw a energy blast heading his way and snarled before deflecting the blast with his bear hand and using his momentum to propel him out of the way.

The man who formerly ended his world's food crises saw the blast came from Trunks, who with Kirby were unsuccessfully trying to pin down Android 21 before he snarled."So many hungry maggots trying to get their fill.

Bah, they can rile up there appetites as much as they want, every last one of the side dishes that won't get inline will be devoured soon enough, after I get my main course! So get ready to die Toriko!"

Acacia snarled once more as he evaded the rapid barrage of the transformed Gourmet King's attack and tried to close in on his desired meal.

---

As he was, others tried to close in on their meal was a tad more frustrated then the man with the self-proclaimed greatest hunger, and that would be Android 21.

While Kirby's assistance managed to turn the momentum around, Trunks quickly saw that his pink-skinned enemy was still in possession of a nearly overwhelming amount of tricks. At the moment the Super Saiyan had just avoided a pink colored Destructo-Disc being thrown his way before he saw it swerve around to home in for his head.

He cringed as he heard Android 21 giggling from the other direction and quickly swerved his hand around and fired a kai blast to blast the disc faster and into the one who unleashed it. 21 widened her eyes with shock as the disc burst forward to hit her arm.

But she giggled darkly as her severed arm fell off and she just kept flying forward and wound up her other fist to try and punch Trunks hard.

Before she could Kirby suddenly dived in front of her, and Android 21 looked shocked before her eyes widened with hate. She then she smashed Kirby off of his Warp-Star and all the way into the ground.

Trunks saw Kirby got hit so hard there was a shock-wave before the rage he felt from that caused him to unleash a surge of power that caused him to stab 21 with his sword before she could react. As his target screamed with outrage Trunks, burst into a rock pillar to pin her. As he flew up he gathered energy in his hands."Your going to answer for every life you androids take!"

As he gathered energy to try and unleash a blast strong enough to vaporized 21 completely Kirby flew back up with a bump on his head." Don't worry I'm ok! That hurt but, I bounced back from worst!"

The time patrol agent saw Kirby rub the bump on his head before he smirked." Heh, you may not have Majin Buu's strength but your regeneration powers seem just as good. That, is better in some ways I suppose."

"Bah, you did have such promise Void Termina." 21 seemed with disgust as she struggled to pull the sword out only for it to surge with the raw energy Trunks." If only you had the will to live up to your true purpose you horrible boy!"

Trunks saw the hero from Popstar look dismayed before he threw out," You are living up to what you're supposed to be Kirby! Even if she made you what you can be, you can defy her expectations. After all, defying insane expectations is the logical thing to do! And anyway, her will won't matter when she's burned away!"

"Don't think you can make this masterpiece fade away so easily you filthy Saiyan!"

The demonic Android fired a barrage of energy blasts to try and blast Trunks away, but her target just evaded the attacks while still charging his own."Desperately failing away won't save you!"

"Heh, that's only because your intellect is far to beneath mine! Hellzone-Grenade!"

Trunks winced as he saw all of the energy blasts that 21 fired were suddenly surrounding him and cursed. He prepared to redirect his attack till Kirby suddenly flew around him and unleashed his Tornado power to unleash a whirlwind powerful enough to redirect all the energy attacks into the ground.

As 21 saw her attack fail Kirby just grinned at her." If you were that smart you would not try and do something so stupid as trying to destroy everyone lady!"

The wife of Doctor Gero grit her teeth before her aura exploded with enough force to shatter the rock she was bound to before she ripped off the sword she was attached to with her tail." Oh I knew most of the universes would be mad at me little one, I just don't care what my snacks have to say!"

21 threw the sword right for Kirby, and while the pink member of the Justice Force could only widen his eyes in shock, the owner of the sword warped in front of his comrade and caught the blade with his hands.

As blood dripped down his cheek 21 giggled darkly before extending her right hand in a open palm gesture." No matter what you do your fate is to be a meal to god, the only thing you can decide is how big a bang the process will take! Speaking of that, Big Bang Attack!"

Trunks cringed as he saw his enemy unleash one of the finishing moves his own father used to destroy Android 19, and braced himself as a energy sphere was roaring for him. The Time Patrol Agent had all of his energy surge as he grasped his sword again and swung at the incoming projectile with all of his might.

The son of Vegeta felt himself being pushed back to the ground, and yelled at the top of his lunges as he pushed back the blast a few inches.

21 giggled at her target's struggle and prepared to add more energy to attempt to finish him off. Before she could Kirby saw his friend struggling, and focused his power, before he took out his Hammer and put the Star Rod on the Warp-Star beneath him before pouring energy into the hammer to have it grow and become his much larger Grand Hammer.

Kirby's " Step mother" was shocked as Kirby smashed the Big Bang Attack hard enough to help Trunks knock the energy blast away. As the deranged being with Majin cells saw her attack explode in the distance, and rock the very planet before she had a wild look in her eyes." Damn it, I stomached enough disobedience!"

21 had her energy explode with rage and in a burst of speed smashed Kirby into the ground and grasped Trunks with her tail before he could react.

21 laughed darkly at the sight of her oppoent's cry of pain as she unleashed a barrage of punches that caused a lot her target's body to feel cracked in less then a second.

As Trunks coughed up blood 21 smashed him into the ground while looking more insane by the moment." That's right, suffer for your crimes you damn Saiyan!"

"Damn hypocrite!" Trunks spat back as he tried to fight back." I just wanted to save everyone, that's all I ever wanted!"

"Ignorance is no excuse! You caused far worst crimes then me, you meddled with the laws of the universe when you broke time!"

"I don't need you to tell me the sin I caused! But it was the only way to save everyone from Frieza and the Androids! It was the only way I could be strong enough to stop Cell in my own timeline! I know I sinned, but the Supreme Kai of Time allowed me to work as a Time Patrol Agent to atone for my sin!

After all, she and Cosmos are wise and smart enough to know that some sins are worst then others! Yes, the sin of breaking a rule out of desperation is not nearly as bad as unleashing nightmares on the cosmos!"

"Those that cause errors to the ecosystem must be purged. And if the error is coming from god itself, then god must be purged as well and replaced with a superior model! You know, part of this is your fault Trunks!

Yes, Trunks from the alternate future, if you never went to the past Goku would have died and I would not have had access to Majin Buu's cells. Things would have gone a lot smoother for your world, you thought you were saving it but you just gave it false hope before damming everyone to Goku's insanity!"

Trunks had a surge of memories of all the horrors he and his version of Gohan suffered at the hands of Android 18 and 17.

As he thought of all of the times he spent with Goku and his father fighting Cell, Bojack, and then all of the various adventures across time he's spent as a Time Patrol agent he grasped his fists hard." Enough! I don't really care if the likes of you think what I did was a sin!

None of us could have foresaw how obsessed Goku's addiction to fighting would get, but even if its what caused the likes of Zamasu and the Shadow Dragons to be unleashed over all...I think it still was the better option.

No matter who calls it a sin, a crime or whatever, the biggest sin is watching innocent people suffer to the ambitions of psychopaths like you, Frieza, Cell, your husband and all the others!

No matter how insane or strong you scum get, I'll do whatever I can to protect the future! Android 21…I'm going to show your kind what true strength is, once and for all!I GUH!""

21 suddenly had her finger nails extend like claws to stab Trunks in his hand before he could make a move."Oh choke on your self-denial already Saiyan! Huh?"

Android 21 formed another blade of energy in her hand and prepared to slice her target's throat up. Before she could strike Trunks unleashed an explosion of energy that stopped her energy blade in her tracks and pushed her back a few feet.

As 21 stabilized herself she saw Trunks had his eyes glow with raw white light. His aura was still golden but took a blue glow around his body, like an inverted version of Super Saiyan Blue's aura.

His aura now emitted particles, resembling the same ones emitted by the auras of Super Saiyan Blue and Super Saiyan Rosé. His aura also emit dense, blue bio-electricity lightning, but even more blue, dense, and raging than his Super Saiyan two form.

His hair spiked up even further than in his Super Saiyan two state and takes on an even more golden color like the Super Saiyan 3 form. For a moment his muscles bulked up similar to Super Saiyan Third Grade before the blue glow around his body appeared and his muscles return to normal.

21 was shocked to find she had to struggle to stand her ground in the face of Trunk's new power before she seethed out,"What the hell is this? His flavor changed completely! Someone like you, was able to reach that God Kai state Goku and Vegeta had!?"

"Not quite." Trunks uttered with restraint as each step he took cracked the ground." I was not able to master the Super Saiyan God state as well as Goku or father but I had obtained a incomplete state. Unstable as it might be, it's enough to overpower trash like you!"

Trunks was above 21 in a instant, and the mutated wife of the chief scientist of the Red Ribbon Army quickly burst backwards as the sword came down for her.

But her Super Saiyan opponent showed he was not going to relent so easily as he swung his sword upwards, and in the process released a wave of golden energy.

21 moved the moment she saw the new projectile, but still was not fast enough to evade the attack entirely, and roared as her right side got hit and was vaporized. As she screamed in pain she fired a few Death Beam style attacks from the fingers on the hand she still had to strike back.

As she saw Trunks casually bat away the energy beams with one hand she yelled with rage as she regenerated her body ." You damn foolish Saiyan! You apes always seem to find a way to squeeze more power out like the last pit of toothpaste in a tube.

But, even if you pull another hair color out of your ass even the spirit bomb that beat Majin Buu won't be enough to take me down!"

"What about the one that killed Omega Sheron?"

"Piff…Goku died to pull that stunt off and like hell will I give you the time to pull it off! No matter how much the savages roar, I'll put you ALL in your damn place!"

21 charged for Trunks once more, but in his new incomplete Blue transformation state the Time Patrol Agent was fast enough to match her blows.

After getting hit in the face she saw Trunks prepare to slice into him and unleashed a after image to avoid the blow. 21 suddenly appeared above Trunks and unleashed a Solar Flare to blind him.

As he winced the pink skinned villain moved fast enough to give off the impression that she was giggling from all directions as energy surged around her body." Its your fault for challenging me and defying the universes evolution! Alright, time to treat myself to a victory snack! Bon appetite!"

21 looked like she was about to attempt to turn Trunks into candy again before his aura exploded." Your wrong android, I got you!"

The mad scientist winced as Trunks suddenly had his energy unleash a explosion that spread out in all directions. 21 promptly cast a barrier around herself.

It looked like it was able to hold till Kirby flew at her from the other side and readied the Star-Rod once more." Sorry lady, your not getting out of what you have coming to you!"

The small pink hero fired another magical blast, that to his target's horror dissolved her barrier. .

Kirby landed alongside Trunks, and the angry half Saiyan gave his shorter team mate a brief nod before the two hero's heard a scream of outrage, and a sizzling 21 flew out of the flames.

Kirby winced as he saw his step mother give him a look of raw hate."Damn it, I'm not the one that's suppose to be cooked! Who raised you to have such horrible manners!?"

"Well um, I mostly ran around in the woods till Rick the Hamster, Coo the Owl and Kine the sunfish and a few friendly Waddle Dee's taught me how to read, build a house and a few other things!"

"Ugh, that explains a few things. Still…even if you had your behavior taught to you by wild Hamsters its no excuse to disobey your mother! The plan was to eat all the unworthy together with your brother Neo, Void Termina!"

"Maybe that's what you wanted me to do, but I only want to eat the bad guys that are being mean to the nice people! Its more fun eating with others anyway!"

"Damn it, I don't want to eat with inferior beings, and I did not want my kids to eat with inferior beings either unless they were part of the meal!"

"Well that's why I'm glad I got my memories of what you wanted erased by the Star-Rod and Mister Nova because I want to be someone that helps people eat, not eat them! Well, again, aside from the bad guys.

I do thank you for allowing me to well, exist and meet all my friends, but even if its what you wanted, even if your my sort of momma I won't do what you want, no matter what!"

21 had her eye twitch as he she put her right hand on her face and produced another insane laugh." I figured this was going to be a rough day, but for my own child to insult me this greatly? I won't tolerate being mocked by someone who's judgment is so plagued with errors!"

"Rage all you want but you're the one that is broken in the head 21!" Trunks sharply retorted." What you, Gero, Cell, Brolly, Frieza, and all the others never could, no, refused to comprehend! And that would be that no matter how smart you are you don't have the right to tell everyone how they should be! I'll be the first to admit people are far from perfect, my father and Goku taught me that very well. But people can change for the better.

The path Ben Auro, Lacus Raystar and the rest of their group are going down might at last lead to the true better path. I won't let you or anyone else interfere with that!"

"ENOUGH!" 21 yelled out with enough force to cause a shock-wave." The hopes of naïve twits, won't stop me! Either you die by me or get eaten by me, that's the only fate for those holding up my feast! Time to barbecue you! Premium…Electro Eclipse Bomb!"

Trunks saw his opponent form a sphere of deep black energy that had another gray sphere inside it that turned black in the center and has red electricity flowing around it. After a few seconds it took on a decagon shape. 21 had a look of raw hate form before she snarled out," It's time for all the failures, to vanish forever!"

The two hero's saw 21 fire her attack, and as it left a shot black trail of energy as it raced for them the Super Saiyan took a deep breath before having his energy surge as high as he could push it." Your wrong Android 21…the nightmare of the Androids are at last going to vanish once and for all! Galick…Buster!"

The time patrol agent made a series of dramatic hand gestures before he cupped his hands together and put his hands back. He then unleashed a massive surging purple energy blast that was a combination of his own skill and one of his father's preferred energy attacks.

As the two attacks collided the result was a shock-wave that rocked the entire planet. The beams were in a deadlock for a few moments, but Kirby saw that Trunks was being pushed back a few feet, and that the Super Saiyan was sweating before 21 laughed madly." Nice try Trunks! Your going to be even more of a tasty morsel then I figured, but your still only mortal! I may not have as complete a unlimited energy supply as 18 and 17 but I still was programed to last! Despite your rage, your not hungry enough to defeat me Saiyan!"

Kirby saw Trunks was being pushed back a bit, before he saw how fixated 21 looked, before a idea dawned on him. He then gave the most serious face his adorable face could muster before he had the Star Sparkler fly around to get behind 21 before he had the Star Rod glow." You're a really hungry lady momma, but your still not as hungry as me! Even if its because of you that I was able to meet my friends its also because of you that a lot of people got hurt! That's why, I'm going to stop you!"

"Piff…be as insolent as you want but even with your magical toys nothing you throw at me can stop me!"

"I don't have to blow you up, just suck you up!"

"Wait, no!"

Kirby used the power of the Star Rod to replicate the effects of the Miracle Fruit to unleash his Hypernova swallow power, causing his body to glow a rainbow like color as he exhaled with far more force then usual at the force nearly of a Black Hole.

While 21 might normally have been able to resist the suction being unleashed at her, with her still giving everything into overpowering Trunks she felt her self being pushed in inch by inch before seething out," How dare you! You would do this, to the one that gave you life?"

Trunks saw Kirby just widened his mouth even harder, and as chunks of rock were ripped out of the ground and into his allies mouth and gulped.

"Kirby, you know what you're doing?" Trunks blurted out cautiously." If you don't get out of the way you will get hit by the blast to!" To his shock he saw the member of the Justice Force just point up with his free hand. As Trunks saw 21 get pushed backwards more and more, and saw her energy attack going upward he nodded, and did all he could to keep his attack up.

With her focus divided 21 felt herself getting pushed more and more in the direction of Kirby's mouth.

She glared at the spawn of Majin Buu that she cultivated with pure fury." No, I still have more breakthroughs to make, I still have so many sweets to devour! Even you won't stop me, you miserable traitor!"

21 lashed out with her tail but while it left a welt Kirby endured the blow, and just exhaled even harder. Trunks saw his target's focus divide as she had her tail take the shape of a scorpion to try and stab the shorter pinker one before he braced himself." Kirby, get ready!"

The son of Vegeta used one of the moves he learned while training under the Supreme Kai of Time to have his blade float on its own, before he had it swerve around and shoot out to carve through 21's tail.

The bio-hybrid life-form yelled in pain, and as she saw her severed tail get swallowed by Kirby her focus was weakened enough for Trunks to overpower the blast.

Trunks caused the beam to shoot upward. The shock-wave pushed 21 right up to Kirby's mouth, and as she felt her self being pushed closer and closer her eyes brimmed with madness."Ugh…Ngahh…you horrible wicked child!"

Kirby saw her grasp the modified Warp Star out of desperation before he had a tear roll down his eye, and he had the Star Rod glow again before the Warp Star shined with light, unleashing a surge of holy energy.

As 21 felt pain surge into her body she yelled with outrage. "GAAAGH! How…? How did I lose to defective losers!? Damn it, damn it all! Confounded…bio…scum! I am so close to having the ideal children me and Gero desired! So, close, AHH!"

Trunks and Kirby both unleashed all of the might to succeed in blasting 21 into Kirby. The hero of Popstar used all of his power to close his mouth, and as he took a deep gulp to swallow 21. Kirby grasped himself tightly as he finished swallowing her before he sniffled." Sorry step momma, this was the only way."

Trunks saw 21 was not bursting out of Kirby, and after making sure her energy was not reappearing he powered down." You alright man? She's not able to overpower you or anything right?"

Kirby winced for a moment before he started to glow. His body then produced a flash of light before suddenly he sprouted 21's hair and donned her tail. As Trunks got on guard Kirby smiled." Its ok, she was the one who made it so whoever I eat could not escape so she saw it worked right up close! Sometimes I absorbed stronger powers then others but copying this" Majin" power and becoming " Majin Kirby" has made me feel even stronger!"

"Er…just be careful, we should be on top of that."

"Why? You think I'll turn back into that Void Termina monster she wanted me to be?"

Trunks saw Kirby looked dejected before he smirked and put his hand on Kirby's head." Sorry, I just meant that a new level of power can be hard to control at first. Trust me I know. I know you can control it Kirby, because I knew your father, Majin Buu.

He defied the dark wizard Bibidi who made him, or at least said made him just like you, and you defied your so called purpose even faster then he is. Trust me, some have a easier time then others but no matter your origins, you decide your story. And you want to fight the bad guys right?"

"Right!" Kirby answered eagerly."

The two heard explosions in the distance before Trunks heard a burst of mad laughter and saw black lighting raining down form the distance. The half Saiyan half human just cracked his neck before he checked his pocket." I knew this was going to be a big day but, its going to rank up on the top ten.

Ah good the Beans are intact. Here Kirby, heal up. I know 21 was a traumatic enemy but as strong as she was, something tells me she was just the appetizer. Ugh, everyone talking about food is getting to me."

Trunks offered Kirby his preferred recovery food before the two prepared to figure out which " party" to crash.

---

As they were dealing with their traumatic family spat the others that were dealing with there extreme family quarrel were quickly being overwhelmed.

While Ragyō was not quite as powerful as Android 21, her sheer cruel savage will just about made up for it. From where we last left them Satsuki attempted to stab her mother in the throat, only for her mother to casually catch the blades in her hands.

Satsuki was shocked that her target did not express any pain at being stabbed as her foe just crushed the blades with her hands, and then blasted her daughter with another barrage of black lighting.

Ryūko tried to attack her deranged mother while she was still attacking her sister, but Nui suddenly jumped back into the fight and showed off the new arms Ragyō gave her as she casually caught both half's of the Rending Scissors with her fingers.

The woman clad in a living outfit snarled and tried to headbutt Nui only for the chatty blonde to dash back away. As she wagged her tongue at her Ragyō gave Ryūko a glare harsh enough to make her flinch. "You just insist on always being in my way you tactless ingrate of a offspring? Enough is enough, now is the time to show all of you who is the true master of the competition of life!"

Ryūko tried to attack the rainbow haired woman, only for her target to unleash a blinding light. When the light faded she found that she was back in her normal school outfit.

She saw that Satsuki had transformed back to normal as well before Ragyō hissed out,"Shina…Nyx…Koketsu. Yes, Absolute Submission!"

"The hell is wrong Senketsu? Don't choke on crunch time! Damn it, the light feels like a weight or something!"

"Heh, to slow as always my impudent child! Shinra-Nyx-Koketsu is the master of all Life-Fibers! Life-Fibers who rebel against its divine grace tremble and fear and shame and are rendered powerless. Heh, this is the true absolute submission! Or at least the first phase!"

Ragyō snapped her fingers and monitors appeared in the remains of the dome showing those still in the ruined Xibalba and other places were humans were hiding on Gourment World looking around in fear as their outfits started to glow red." Look at all the people in this world that are wearing REVOCS made clothing! When Absolute Submission's energy surges across the planet, the dormant Life-Fibers in those REVOCS clothing will awaken.

Every last human will be swallowed by their clothing. The essence of their souls will be converted into Magatsuhi, and the world will be covered by a single cloth! Acacia will wear that cloth and with our combined might we will take our rightful place as the winner of this silly Battle-World! Haha, this is the fundamental rule of the universe, and soon my will shawl completely be the truth of all! You can not oppose me!"

Nui saw the light around her creator get even more immense and fawned at the sight."Such grace, it's the grace of the one true angel! Accept no substitute!"

Ryūko quickly struggled to figure out the best way to respond before a male voice shouted out," Your wrong, its not over yet!"

Tsumugu and Aikurō, both in their DTR mecha jumped on to the platform. The two members of the Nudist Beach resistance group had their mecha start to combined before the blue haired man shouted out a passionate," We're still here to oppose you! We stripped down to our bare nudist souls! Now, Ultimate Double Naked DTR Assault Mode!"

As the two mecha finished merging into a larger humanoid robot and numerous gun turrets formed before the blue haired man cried out," Its time for humanity to declare its emancipation from clothing! Lagan Spiral Im,"

Before he could even finish his speech the three triangle like Yasakani no Magatama on his target's back glowed before suddenly shooting out to slice apart most of his guns before they could even fire.

As the blue haired man's jaw dropped the right sleeve of Raygo's Life-Fiber burst out like a tentacle to smash the Nudist Beach members.

As the two men fell off the platform and screamed their attacker rolled her eyes." Such crude men, are beneath my notice. Be defiant to the end but you're going to learn the hard way who the inferior beings are!"

Matsuri saw Ragyō have more lighting crackle around her finger tips before she pointed her rapier at her." You're the one that will pay for being so vain! Life-Fibers are far from the ultimate power! Go Artemisia! Huh?"

The red haired woman cringed as she realized her Persona was not coming out. As she saw her comrades also looked confused Aegis flew to her side." Miss Kirijo…the waves that are repressing the Life-Fibers seem to be sealing our Persona's to."

"Do you realize the extent of my elegance now you silly Shadow Operative?" Ragyō cooed out smugly." Thanks to those smug men I was able to do enough research on Persona's to have Shinra-Nyx-Koketsu bind Persona's to! After all, its not just one substance I wish to bind, but people's very souls!"

Nui giggled darkly as she saw all the tense faces beneath her." You thought you could outsmart Lady Ragyō, but your going to only find out how wrong you are as you watch each other be turned to pieces one by one! Oh, can I start my lady?"

"Not yet…after all theses people are all precious energy for both the Primordial Life-Fiber! So sorry Ryūko, the ploy you risked everything on was worthless! "

The rainbow haired woman had her right hand shine with light before a chunk of the massive organic red object busted out like a bloody tidal wave. Before it could crash into anyone Terra, Milla, Yuna, and Magilou combined their magic to unleash a powerful ice spell to freeze the entire wave.

As Ragyō looked annoyed she saw Velvet charging for her." Your tacky outfit has no control over me! And I heard enough of your yacking!"

Velvet tried to grasp her target with her demonic claw before Ragyō had her outfit have spikes burst out. The rainbow haired woman saw Velvet swerve and bat away her attacks before she snickered." You have fire in your eyes, I can respect that. Whatever your comrades have told you they are wrong. I am the only one who can give you and all of your kind salvation!"

"Screw you! I'm not being any stuck up Queen's servant!"

"Heh, it might not look like it but we have more in common then you think. I want to liberate all like us from the bondage of savages."

"I heard enough convoluted speeches! I seen what kind of person you are, that's all I need to know I never want to be part of what you have planned! Impulse Desire!"

The black haired woman had her aura explode before she unleashed a barrage of energy infused slashes. Ragyō was able to block the assault but as she blinked the Enji was suddenly above her, and unleashed a red energy blast from her demonic hand.

Ragyō saw the Mystic Art attack come for her and sighed before she formed a ebony energy blast in her hands." A shame, you had prospects but your just to wild a dog to be saved. Megidola."

The CEO of RAVOCS unleashed her energy blast before Eleanor got in front of the blast and tried to block it with her staff." Velvet can be uncouth, but she's a far nobler person then you!"

Collette flew up to her comrade's side as she surged with holy energy." That's right, people are not worthy just because of how nice they look! Grand Cross!"

Lacus's squad mate unleashed her holy energy attack, and as Ragyō tried to overpower it Muzét flew above her and smirked." Lets be honest honey, maybe your classy were your from but to us your tacky as hell. That's why eternity is calling for you! Malign Gravity!"

Ragyō saw a miniature black hole being thrown at her before she yelled out,"All of you brainwashed tools, won't defeat me with your pathetic false pride!"

"Don't underestimate the pride of us "fools" mother." Satsuki uttered bitterly as she remained paralyzed. " Humans and clothing, men and woman, and people across worlds, despite the differences such bonds can be forged as long as monsters like you don't have their, huh?"

The student council president was cut off as Nui giggled darkly, before her hands transformed to blades." I had just about enough of you dissing your mother " sis". Die already, knowing you're a powerless failure!"

Nui prepared to slice her former comrade up, till her shock Ryūko intercepted the blades with her scissors. With Senketsu paralyzed Ryūko forced herself to squirm out and intercepted Nui while totally nude.

As her blond enemy looked at shock the former transfer student hissed out," Like hell you will bimbo! I may not be able to use my Kamui, but I still can fight on my own thanks to the Life-Fibers in my body!"

"Damn ungrateful bitch!" Nui hissed out furiously." What the hell do you think you are to still defy us?"

"I'm not purely human, and I'm not clothing either! I'm something in between! It's a pain but right now, I'm real grateful my body is the way it is! Cause it looks like I'm the only local that your stupid Absolute Submission won't work on! That means, I'll rip it apart with my teeth if I have to!"

Ragyō saw her off spring slash at Nui with enough fury to evade her blows and slice her across the face before the rainbow haired woman narrowed her eyes." You insist on being as graceless as possible eh my child? I know all about children defying their parents but this is far past the limit of what I will stomach!"

Ragyō had attacks blast out from all directions to keep the Enji back as she pointed her right ring finger at the naked woman welding the scissors." This is the ultimate parental disciplinary action, die you, GUH!"

The vile woman was cut off as she suddenly felt intense pain in her chest, and as she glanced down was shocked to see that Senketsu had managed to act independently from Ryūko, and had transformed itself to rocket right into the chest of its target.

As Ragyō saw blood came off of her chest Senketsu suddenly spoke out." Like Ryūko…I'm neither human nor purely clothing either! Shippu Senjin!"

The living fabric transformed into a drill, to burst right through his enemies chest. The maneuver did not kill Ragyō, but as a hole appeared in her chest her aura fractured, and her magic became unstable. She grasped her wound before hissing out," How…how can a mere Kamui knock off unravel my grand design?"

"It's because he ain't pure that he can pull this off "mom"." Ryūko pridefully uttered as she recombined with Senketsu." Its us folks that don't belong to just one group that can reach out and come together!"

"Ugh, you naïve little, UGH"!

Ryūko charged at her mother with a burst of speed to headbutt her hard enough cause her target to cough up blood. As a newly freed Satsuki ran up to her she grinned and threw her sister one of the Scissor Blades. They then both ran at their mother Satsuki cried out,"At last, your cruel legacy ends here Ragyō!"

Before they and all of their other newly freed allies charged at their weakened target Nui burst at them all with a mad look as she quickly had clones form around her." Nope, nope, nope, nope! You'll have to go through me you filthy apes! Mon-Mignon Prêt-à-Porter!"

A pair of Nui's dove down to try and carve up Ryūko, Terra, Aegis and all the others in her path before a pink energy blast vaporized one of them. Nonon and the other members of the elite four flew up, all in a new mark four version of their Regalia before the bandleader like woman cried out,"Oh give it a rest you mass produced eyesore!"

Inumuta then flew down in his Probe Regalia: Truth Unveiled to have his new outfit's Wrist mounted cannon fire a cable that hit another Nui clone, and as she vaporized he uttered a cold,"Tsc, you're so lowly your data's not even worth collecting."

Uzu then charged forward in his new Blade Regalia: Secret Unsealed Goku Uniform as his blade shimmered with energy." That's right, your not a warrior, just a wild beast that won't be put down!"

As he cleaved through multiple Nui's in a instant, one Nui tried to stab the green haired member of the Elite Four in the back before Ira burst out of the ground in his Shackle Regalia Persona Unleashed Goku Uniform to grasp her by the neck." That's right, no matter how powerful you are for all your crimes you will get your discipline! Bakukai Gōteki !"

The muscular man unleashed a massive energy blast that vaporized the Nui's in front of her, before hitting Ragyō in the back. This distracted her long enough for her children to attack her with a burst of speed, unleashing a fury of combos that cut her arms off, sliced her upper body in half and cut her chest off to boot. Ragyō felt her vison split before she seethed out," Impossible, my grace won't be denied, by the likes of you!"

Satsuki saw her mother use her energy to stabilize her self despite being sliced into so many pieces and snorted in disgust." Face reality already! Your grand web of the Cocoon Sphere Nativity is unraveling Ragyō!"

"Have they now? Satsuki, all true winners win by adapting! Nui, enough is enough! Sacrifice your body to me...now!"

Nui froze for a moment, and while she looked shocked she quickly gave a innocent giggle."Oui, mama!"

With one more burst of deranged giggling Nui and all her clones casually decapitated herself. Fibers at once shout out from Ragyō's body and turned Nui and her clones in to raw life fibers before consuming them.

At once her aura grew twice as large before her body repaired herself. The rainbow haired woman grasped her hand tightly." Nui, my poor daughter, the Life-Fibers in your body were to powerful, preventing you form wearing Kamui.

But now you're at last able to wear them, the ultimate dress of god that is the Primordial Life Fiber! Magnificent…you feel so wonderful on me Nui! Yes, its time to take direct control of everything! Now Rei!"

Her assistant with neon glasses at the top of the tower stiffened before she bowed."As, you wish, my lady! AHH!"

Life Fibers consumed her and all the rest of her followers in the area red energy burst into her it created a shock-wave to knock everyone back. Ryūko saw her mother have a look of pure insanity before she snorted with pure disgust." Damn it, crazy as they were they were the only people who were loyal to you after everything you done! And after all that this is how you repay them!"

"Only a unrefined mind such as yours think this is a betrayal! No, this is me rewarding my faithful followers for their loyalty, by being part of the ultimate being! After all, the only love that truly lasts is for one self!"

"You truly are the most self-absorbed being I ever seen Ragyō Kiryūin!" Satsuki shouted out with disgust. Her response just caused her mother to howl out a sadistic," I won't be lectured by naïve brats who know nothing about the world! Love between others is like a nice dip in the hot tub. It feels oh so good at first, but after a while it shrivels you up! Yes, lasting relationships with others is a illusion, a foolish fantasy.

In the end you can only rely on yourself, that's why I never trusted anything but what I could control! And now, at last all my hard work will pay off and humanity's conversion into fabric will be complete!"

Ryūko just spat on the ground before she grasped her blade tightly." Try and talk big as much as you want but your still just a wack job to me! No matter how much power you get I'm not going to give up so easily!"

"Sigh, you and your nonsense burns me more then the blows you land Ryūko."

"Oh yah? Well chew on this!"

Ryūko tried to strike her mother, but to her shock the Rending Scissors just bounced harmlessly off her target's face. In the blink of a eye Ragyō slapped Ryūko through the ground as she gave another haughty laugh." Did you forget that the Scissor Blade is also made of hardened Life-Fibers?

Its powerless before the full strength of Absolute Submission which is the master of all Life-Fibers, and soon ALL souls! And now, you must be punished for the sin of turning your blade on this divine cloth!"

Ragyō had two spear tipped tentacles impale Ryūko, and as the others came at her she unleashed a barrage of black energy blasts in all directions to keep them away as she stabbed her own child again and again." My poor daughter who was entangled in Soichro's dying wish. With all your power, why do you not understand the fundamental principle of the universe? This beautiful vista that is the universe will one day be destroyed.

It's inevitable as long as humanity is allowed to remain to stay as it is, steered by crude men and there craving for death and glory! Creation and destruction, this has been the cycle of life that has been preordained since our galaxy was even born! The Life-Fibers are part of the fiber of the universe as well, one that will strive things to a new direction!"

"Ugh, when are you going to take a hint and zip it with the monologuing already?"

"Bah, how could my own child be so very, very dense!"

"Well it ain't like I was raised by you!"

"Well I concede that was a mistake! But I'll correct spawning such a miserable scion right now! To admen for my mistakes, I'll free you of your pain, forever! Dark Eternalness!"

Ragyō smashed her child into the air, before he aura broke out to form a dozen car sized skulls that all surrounded the Scissor welding woman and dove at her.

Ryūko saw the projectiles coming for her and yelled with all her might before she had the Rending Scissors transform in to a scythe like shape. As she carved all the skulls to fragments she gave her mother a angry glare." It will take more than cheap stunts like that to do me in!"

Ragyō had her eye twitch before she responded with a unhinged." I see. I must subconsciously be pulling my punches. It would appear that I somehow still have a lingering trace of humanity in me."

Terra blasted away another incoming Life-Fiber wave before she gave her current enemy a fierce look." That's because for all your poise Ragyō…your true feelings are seeping to the surface! Your still human no matter how many Life-Fiber's you merged with, and it's only natural for any human to not want to kill her child!"

Ragyō had her eye twitch before her eyes glowed red." I won't be lectured by heroic saps! I'm beyond human, I'm someone who transcends base instincts to be a winner! If the last trace of humanity in my heart is getting in the way, then I'll just purge it, along with everything else!"

Ryūko saw her mother 's attire transform before her hair became horns. Ragyō then unleashed a barrage of red energy blasts and while Ryūko thought she was not going to be able to block the attacks in time she saw Aegis and Terra defend her before she smirked." Become a demon all you want mom but your dead wrong! Being a heartless ice queen does not make you the strongest! I seen what true strength is, and its going to kick your pretentious ass!"

Ragyō heard a explosion in the distance and glanced at the direction where Lacus and Kefla were still fighting before she snickered." Oh, did angel girl woo you over with her streaking and holy bleeding heart theatrics?

Bah, her skills may not be counterfeit but angel or not she's a fraud all the same. Kindness may be a nice illusion but even the sweatiest mirage can't last forever. The only thing that real is strength!"

Terra countered Ragyō 's newest barrage with a Meteor spell, and as Milla backed her up with a Meteor Storm spell she retorted with a defiant." True strength is not just a single minded devotion to one's self interest! Lacus had to learn the hard way but she knows what true strength is. The strength of kindness, of compassion, will be what defeats you!"

"Bah…I think stringing your angelic savior up before throwing her up to be devoured by my dear comrade Acacia will drive the point home yes? Hopefully those Saiyans can focus enough to get the job done. Now then, graceless eyesores, get the treatment you deserve at last! Night Queen!"

Ragyō unleashed another massive energy blast of darkness in all directions, but as powerful as it was the Enji's comrades was facing a even more furious onslaught.

---

After where we left her the Enji Knight's new transformation did shock her fused Saiyan opponent, Kefla refused to even think about losing and fought hard enough to stand her ground.

Despite this being the first time using her new form, with Kisara helping her Lacus was able to fight gracefully, despite her savage state.

Kefla had just dodged a barrage of claw slashes and just smirked as she formed green energy orbs in her hands."Haha, nice try angel but its not good enough! If you thought you could make me backdown because of a few loud roars your looking down at us more then we thought! Heh…we know all about berserk rampages, and as sharp as your claws are your to predictable now to hit us with, guh!"

Just as she prepared to dodge another claw slash and try and hurl a energy orb at her opponent's face only for Lacus to have her lower left claw to suddenly shift into a open palm thrust that hit her in the throat.

The force hit Kefla hard enough to choke, and as she gasped for air Lacus smashed her in the face with one claw, then uppercut her with another.

As her opponent was smashed into the ground Ben's lover growled." You thought you had me pegged yet again, but in this state I have both berserk rage and my refined combat skills and power all at once."

Kefla coughed a bit before she cracked her neck."Alright…your hardcore but so what? I still won't lose!"

The greenish blond haired woman had a dozen red energy orbs form around her they merged together before becoming a unstable red miniature sun. Kefla wound it up like she was about to throw a pitch." In the end this is all about who is number one! So your just going to have to vanish along with this entire battle planet!"

Lacus saw her enemy hurl the energy bomb at her and charged right for it. With her two lower hands she cast a reflect spell to catch the incoming projectile. While it pressed her back for a few moments Lacus gave a roar of fury before her energy spiked gain and her barrier succeeded in reflecting the blast back at its sender.

Kefla hastily avoided being hit by her own blast, but in that span of time her opponent got right in front of her before yelling out," Godly Berserk Sixty Four Strike Fury Divination!"

The transformed Warrior of Light unleashed a furious variation of her gentle fist style combo strike, with her extra arms slashing out as savagely as someone like the X-men's Wolverine. Lacus struck relentlessly, unleashing dozens of blows per second and hitting her opponent's pressure points.

Lacus ended her assault by unleashing a lighting fast headbutt that smashed Kefla right in the head. The fused Saiyan screamed in pain as she was smashed into a rock pillar. As the impact shattered and collapsed on her opponent, Lacus just fired a blast of white and blue energy from her mouth to cause a explosion that lit up the area.

After hearing nothing for a few seconds Lacus flew to the air to get a good look at the area, and her hunch proved correct as a bruised and bloody Kefla burst out of the rubble. Lacus saw how furious Kefla looked and responded with a cold." Is their another transformation or something you want to show off? No? Then, this next attack will end it."

Kefla saw how absolute Lacus sounded before she grasped her fists hard enough for blood to drip down as she hunched over." Damnit! Not yet…ITS NOT OVER YET LACUS RAYSTAR!"

Lacus saw her opponent turn beat red as her aura exploded, till she glowed. As her enemy's aura surged to maximum capacity she released it to unleash continuously in several omnidirectional laser-like beams.

Lacus jumped out of the path of the lasers, and as she saw Kefla surge like a fire going out of control she sighed." Do you even know what your doing? If you burn yourself out to the point that you will die then what's the point?"

"SHUT UP! We have to win…no matter what we have to win! It will all be worth it if we prove we are the strongest! We have to, because if we are not the strongest, then we are nothing!"

Lacus saw a hint of fear, despair, and other emotions swirling around the Saiyan before she closer her own eyes." I remember I felt like that for a long while. I was so obsessed with not being weak that I closed my heart. But it was a mistake. I'll show you how wrong you are."

Kefla saw Lacus was calmly flash stepping away from where ever her lasers went, and saw her target was glowing more and more per second before she screamed with rage." You think you can trick me like all the others with some fancy speech? Your just trying to trick us, but it won't work! We will just blow you away! Bring on what you really want to do, and we will blast through it to grasp victory!"

Kefla unleashed all the power she had before her aura suddenly formed in to twin massive wheels of red and green energy before she combined them into a even larger blast. In response Lacus slammed into the ground before her wings extended and she gritted out," Just try it! Divine…Perdition…Flare Burst!"

Lacus shined like a miniature star before she had energy orbs form in her hands and slam them all together. The energy converged to unleashed a thin but powerful holy energy blast.

The attack smashed into the opposing energy attack like a truck running into a bumper car, and Kefla was nearly blown off her feet before she smashed the ground.

Kefla had her muscles flex as she pushed back as hard as she could." No matter what you got, I'll break through my limits and surpass it! I'll surpass everything all of you got!"

Kefla screamed at the top of her lungs, and unleashed a surge of power that over powered the Divine Perdition Flare Burst projectile. As she saw the attack go up into the sky and explode she raised her fist in triumph."YES! I did it! I showed that angel who's, huh?"

The fighter from the world of Sadala hear the ground crack before the Oath-Keeper sword suddenly burst out of the ground. After putting the majority of her power into her last attack Kefla's response was delayed as the blade sliced into her right Potara earring. The strike shattered it, and as a result her fusion was undone.

No matter how much she willed it, a few seconds later Kefla defused to Kale and Caulifla. The two once more clothed Saiyans collapsed into the ground, and as Caulifla fell to her knees she saw the ribbon binding the Oath-keeper retract to where Lacus was the shorter Saiyan coughed up blood." Damn it, you, you just let us think we over powered you to lure us? Why, why did you spare us? Want to mock us further? Just end it already!"

Lacus landed right in front of the two and growled for a moment. The two Saiyan woman tensed up as they fought Lacus was going to strike, when suddenly her transformation became undone.

Lacus just looked at the two Saiyans in her exposed state and took a deep breath as her energy turned into a card gave a solemn smile before she leaned down right in front of Caulifla." I did end it. And now that its over, I don't feel the need to go on, with you guys at least."

"What? You think you can just let me go?"

"Why not? I may go savage for the fight itself, but now that your beaten I don't need to act that way and I'm fond of being in control of my emotions theses days."

Caulifla saw Lacus was calming looking down at her before she blinked." You think I'm stupid? If you let me go, I'm going to want to fight you again!"

"But…you don't want to kill or rule people right?"

"Well…I mean I'm no bleeding heart but yah."

"Then if that's all then you can fight me again if you want." Lacus responded cheerfully." I'm not as much as a fight zealot as some of my friends or you Saiyans but, I have realized the value of pushing your skills to the limit.

And, while your single minded obsession with fighting can be, tiresome, I respect how hard you pushed yourself. Your good for the part of me that needs to not get soft."

Caulifla blinked before she managed a weak laugh." Heh, glad your at least not stuck up. Well, I and Kale are just going to come at you even harder next time Lacus Raystar. You better be ready, and you better not lose to the others! Ugh."

Lacus saw Caulifla at last lose consciousness before she smiled, and felt dizzy before falling over herself.

The angelic Enji was glad no one was around to see her ungraceful state before she coughed and wiped some sweat off her brow." Well, glad that all that stuff I said was not just talk. Philemon, glad you were not a elaborate trap. For all the hassle, I need as strong as a hand as I can play."

As she saw her golden bracelet glow she heard Kisara sigh in her head." Well I admit I was getting a bit to much of a rut in heaven so this is not to bad for the moment Lacus. Still, seems like your only a little better shape then those Saiyans after the transformation girl!"

Lacus grasped her sword to help push herself up before she shrugged." Now that the power's not always fused to me its more like Ben's Kaio-Ken spell then a competed transformation, but if that's the price to not having things be quite like before then I'll gladly take it.

I admit, it was a lot easier managing this kind of power when I had the Golden Imperia Crystal but, at least now it's a power I can control. I can do this, just need to catch my breath first."

The Enji heard a monstrous roar that shook the ground and winced at how crude it sounded." This Acacia, his laugh and his energy nearly feels as cruel as Brad's. Ugh, no matter how long it may be, one promise I intend to keep till the end of time is never cowering in the face of scum like him again no matter how powerful or vulgar they are! Still, hope the others can hold things down while I…catch my breath."

Lacus saw her clothing was still safe in the shield she put it over and quickly redressed.

---

As she did one of the enemies she was worried about was unleashing her full insanity on the ones that still dared to defy her.

Starjun had shown he was more resilient then the Black Swan thought, but this just made Joie get even more furious. After slashing another pillar of fire in half the Dark Chef hissed out," I'll shred you into oblivion Starjun!"

His target 's third eye widened even more and the vice-chef from the Gourment Corps managed to evade till he was right in front of his opponent's face, and before Joie knew it Starjun unleashed his Fire-Spear attack fight in his face.

Joie was swift enough to bend backwards to avoid the strike, but as she smirked Starjun followed up faster then she thought as he cried out,"Burner…SQUALL!"

The long haired man's fist surged with fire before he unleashed a fire infused punch that caused the entire area to erupt with flames.

Starjun looked at the now blazing area around him calmly, and his face hardened as Joie appeared above him. As he saw she only had a few burns he sighed." That should have hit you full on. So…this is your" Gourment" luck? What a nuisance."

"Heh…that " third eye" of yours is locked on to me completely and following my every movement eh? And then…by stacking on layers and layers of the " Back channel" Spell your bending and manipulating time… One could say one's eyes only see images of the past but your "Gourment Clairvoyance" is constantly hunting down and tracking its prey.

Even if it were to travel hundreds of millions of lightyears away. That's why your Gourment Clairvoyance is able to keep its eye on the future. Normally the gap in are reaction to time space would be to limited but well, its nice to be lucky!"

"Even if your aware of it, just how are you going to deal with that?"

"By being so lucky that you can see it dear! Gourment Luck!"

The Black Swans's eyes gave a golden shine to them before she cackled madly." Let's finish the meal now eh Starjun? You were foolish to think that you could do anything but amuse me after Midora could not do anything but fail."

"Tsc, I was not naïve, that's why I made sure to bring back up that, while risky, was better then letting you and Acacia have their way!"

Joie heard a roar in the distance and swerved her head, and in that second saw Starjun charging for him and parried it with her knife while grinning darkly." You mean the Enji? Despite there posturing they can't stop us, no one can! Just learn that the hard way as your finished cooking for Acacia dear!"

Starjun forced himself to not let his enemies taunts break his focus but could not help but glance in the direction that he sensed where Toriko was.

Even in his Blue Demon form Toriko could do little but hold his own to the older Gourment Hunter's fury.

After blocking a bunch of lighting fast fork like strikes, Acacia saw Toriko try and tackle him and wound up his fist and punched Toriko hard enough in the head to cause a shock-wave.

As he saw Toriko struggle to stand up to his punch he smirked, before punching Toriko with his other fist with enough force to cause cracking sounds.

As Toriko fell to the ground and coughed up blood Acacia had a wild look in his eye." You got spunk boy I'll give you that. But no matter how much appetite you got in yah it's got nothing on god's hunger! Just a vulgar morals to be devoured. "

He prepared to try and bite Toriko 's head off before he heard a yell that was loud enough to cause him to flinch. He swerved around and saw poison spears head for him, and after he dodge them he saw that Zebra, Coco and Sunny had ran to assist Toriko.

Zebra cracked his neck before spitting out," Toriko might be a pain in the ass but he's our pain in the ass! Don't care how many people you eaten, your still going to be the meal of the Four Kings!"

Acacia saw how angry the three men looked before he belched." So, all of Ichiryu 's runts want to die as a pack? Fine, I'll have a mini Full Course as a warm up! Time to, huh?"

Acacia paused as he heard a loud ribbit before he swerved around to see a massive tongue smash into him.

The blow was so intense that Acacia was knocked to the other side of the planet, and as the giant frog landed near the hole he just made, only a few moments later Acacia burst out of a new hole, with his chest caved in before he glared at Yaldabaoth and licked his wound." There won't be a single cell of you left when I'm done with yah you damn meal! Don't get any funny ideas, even the Gourment God is just another ingredient to my meal! Now, I'll show you who the true Gourment God is when I put you in my belly frog! Don't get so full of yourself, just try and eat this!"

Acacia saw Yaldabaoth wind up its tongue once more, and responded by having his mouth widen enough to try and eat the entire organ. Before he could try and take a bite out of the frog he heard a roar. Before he could even swerve around a massive impact smashed into him and sent him flying.

After being blown through the distance of most cities Acacia smashed his foot in the ground and snarled out,"Now who wants to be ripped apart? Huh? Whoa now."

Acacia's hesitation was caused as he saw what attacked him was none other than the horse monster Toriko fought in Vegetable Sky, Heracles of the Eight Kings.

The man who's body was full of ugly pimples spat on the ground."The nightmare beast Heracles, here? And, oh?"

Acacia looked closer and realized the Monkey King Bambina was on its head. Before he could snarl out something Bambina was suddenly in front of him, and punched him in the face.

As he rebounded from the strike he was about to fight back before he heard numerous roars around him and glanced around to see various massive monsters coming for him in all directions, causing Acacia to hiss out," So, the eight great kings have assembled for the ultimate feast eh? Wolf King Guinness, the Whale King Moon, the Avian King the Emperor Crow, the snake king Mother snake, the Deer King Sky Deer, and the Dragon King Deros, thanks for all having the instincts to become the toppings for my meal!"

The large king of all Wolves' on Gourment World with uniquely shaped forelimbs that were instead of canine paws, were human-like hands with black claws and opposable thumbs, unleashed a massive leap and smashed down on its target with enough force to shake the entire planet.

But as the dust settled, the upper left leg of the Wolf King was lifted up, and it was revealed that Acacia was lifting up the massive beast with one arm, and had bitten off the paw with one massive gulp.

As Guinness roared in pain Acacia licked his lips and spat out some chunks of meat." You pathetic runt, the hell do you think your doing here? What you think your doing trending around in the territory of god!? Die, Gourment Punch!"

Acacia had his right arm expand to the size of a giant as he tried to shatter his canine target. Guinness realized the scent of Jiro, the man he raised as his own long ago and became enraged before in a burst of speed he bit down on Acacia's large arm and smashed him around like a rag down several times per second, each blow causing a shockwave and smashing up parts of the planet's crust.

After a few more smashes Guinness hurled Acacia into the air. The embodiment of hunger tried to stabilize himself he heard another growl. The gluttonous villain swerved around and saw a gigantic brownish-green dragon beast with a body length of three hundred meters (1148.293 feet), and an incredibly titanic body weight of 1,500,000 tons.

The dragon King Deros, a beast big enough to grasp a mountain in its hand roared before gathering a massive amount of energy in its mouth.

Joie saw its partner in a crime about to be blasted before he kicked Starjun back and hissed out,"Don't you dare! Air Slice!"

The Black Swan unleashed its projectile attack, only to see Deros pour out energy from each of its tongues, Derous fires beams of energy, which pool into a single ray of Gourmet Energy, its Extra-Dimensional Laser.

Acacia roared as the massive energy blast collide into him faster then he could swallow it, and as Joie saw his comrade get blasted into the sky she hissed out," Damn it, why are those beasts rampaging now anyway? Ragyō was suppose to have them all under control with her Life-Fibers! Did she dare double cross us?"

"She did not, but I did." Starjun stated firmly." When I heard you betrayed Midora we severed the Life-Fibers controlling the Great Kings. Even if it's a loose cannon, another cannon firing on the enemy is another advantage for us."

"Bah, think your so clever boy?" Joie hissed out. Starjun prepared to counter before he felt his grip on his sword loosen. In a flash Joie slashed him across his arm, and as his he grasped his wound Joie's assault got even more furious." Your third eye is losing its luster Star! That's because its power erodes in the face of my Gourment Luck, the power that's god's will itself!"

"Ugh…it is indeed a nuisance. But still, tell me this if its such a infallible power then why did you not use it from the start? If it was unstoppable nothing in Battle-World could go wrong for you yes? Even Gourment Luck runs out after a while."

"Maybe, but your life will run out far before my luck does!"

"We will see about that!"

Starjun fought against the Black Swan with all of his might, but his fury was topped by Acacia's, who realized he could not push the Dragon King's blast back and decided to cut off his own arm so he could escape the blast.

As he descended for the ground he felt a gravitational force tugging on him and glance to see a moving meteorite in the shape of the Whale, the Whale King coming for him.

Acacia snarled and raised his fist to attack, only to see a tail bind him. He looked to the right to see the Ape King Bambina mocking him before he smashed him in the face.

For a moment it looked like he shattered the Ape King's body, but as its fur shattered it revealed its true muscular form, and used its tail to bounce back, and smash Acacia in the chest hard enough to send him into the Whale King.

As the island sized whale opened its mouth Acacia widened its eyes." Bah, you think just because your stomach is suppose to lead to a completely different dimension? Bah, I'm not afraid of some damn whale, you should be afraid that your "Super-Gravity" is luring me in! Gourment Hammer!"

Acacia smashed the whale so hard that he shattered the meteor shell of the whale. As the Whale King went flying into the ocean the demonic man spat on the ground." Drink salt for all I care, that's the price for being dumb enough to think you could stop me! Now, time to eat that damn Frog already! Where did it hop off to now? Huh? Again?"

Acacia snarled as he felt another force tug on him, and swerved around to see a dark- and smooth-skinned deer creature of gargantuan size, enough to be able to casually trample over mountain ranges with a casual forward march walk his way.

It was most distinguished by its massive forest that grows along its back akin to a mane, being the highest on its head and growing lower, lesser towards the back.

Out of the mane's top jut the tips of a few dozen thin, light-colored antlers, several of which are two-pronged. That aside, the Deer King's skin was orange, scarred, and it had a face veiny to the sides and elongated due to its long nose, as well as long ears whose tips are covered in the mane, heavy nasal and eyebrow muscles, and very slanted eyes, which have dark scleras and light, pupil-less irises, and look somewhat feminine due to their long eyelashes.

Finally, the deer has at least fourteen powerful legs in pairs, which due to the long torso appeared quite short in comparison.

The Deer King looked Acacia right in the eye before charging forward, causing the former king of cooking to regenerate his vaporized fist." You want to be shattered next? Be my guest! Huh, what the?"

To his horror Acacia saw his muscles start to wither, and as he felt his strength slipping away he saw the Deer King 's eyes glow before he winced." No, the Deer King, its using a Back channel? And, it's the opposite form how the spell is normally used! I can feel it, it's a space where time flows faster!

One second in this zone, is like one hundred years, maybe even a thousand! Damn it, even though this body is suppose to be eternal, thousands of years are still passing without consuming any substance! I'll, just activate autophagy! And put part of me in to drought dormancy, yes, I'll use my own "Back Channel" to counteract this! You hear me, Deer King? You can't stop me, you can't outlast me, I'll live till the end of time! I'll, UGH!"

For a moment it seemed that the Deer King's very powerful natural ability worked, as Acacia 's yell was cut off as he shriveled up to a mummified corpse.

The Deer King sensed that its target's cells were breaking down and decaying, but even seeing Acacia starting to erode to dust did not make the Great beast relent and merely had the Back Channel accelerate further.

Just as the last spark of " Appetite" seemed to fade from Acacia and the Deer King prepared to crush its corpse the body twitched, before its eyes glowed red and the body unleashed a explosion of power that was powerful enough to knock the Deer King and all the other massive monsters back.

The Gourment Hunters watched in the distance with dread as Acacia's body suddenly expanded, and all of his large pimples smoothed over as his body looked more stable. Acacia got back up, and had tentacles lash at the ground around him hard enough to shatter it before he glanced at the Deer King and grinned." If the presence or absence of appetite defines "death" then everyone apart from me is already dead!

Every living thing in this world, in this universe is nothing more then food to fulfill my appetite! Is your beastly mind pondering how I survived? Hah, you underestimate the power of Gourment Cells you giant furry! The power of "Neo" was one that was able to evolve to meet any obstacle, that is how he became king!

Indeed " evolution" does require training, trails, and tribulations… it was no easy task evolving into a body that could deal with this environment. But the evolutionary process that normally takes hundreds of thousands of years to adapt was shortened thanks to your zone. You gone goofed deer boy, creating a space where time is accelerated backfired on you and allowed me to adapt even further! You all thought you were top dogs when your just my morsels! But I tell yah what its time you learn the damn truth!"

Acacia saw Toriko getting back up in the distance and snickered. In the blink of an eye the villain was right in front of Toriko and the other Gourment Hunters.

Before the blue haired man could react Acacia stabbed him in the throat with his right hand. As the others were nearly frozen in terror Acacia grasped the younger man harshly by the head." Seriously what the hell yah trying to steal my thunder for boy? Seriously don't know your place even after how much I flexed my superiority Toriko?

Then let me rub this in to yah as painfully as possible…I will feast, to become the true god! In order to ascend to the divine, it's going to take a mighty fine amount of calories! Joie, PAIR, and the rest of the Nitro should be ready to get the cooking done. Time, to reach the Promised Land where…! Huh?"

Even with his enemies hand in his throat, Toriko still grasped Acacia to prevent him from leaving, a action that caused the tall man to snicker." You're a stubborn one eh boy? I'll hand you that you got a stubborn appetite all right but I tell yah what, the law of the land, is that the weak…don't have the right to eat!"

Acacia went to punch the Gourment King's head off, till he saw Toriko's eyes flicker, before he started turning into the shape of a new, white demon. As the demonic man raised a eyebrow he felt a tremor, and saw that, Yaldabaoth the rest of the Monster Kings and Toriko 's friends were all about to attack him form all directions before he snarled out a livid,"SHUT IT!"

The former savior of humanity had his aura explode with such force that everyone around him froze out of sheer fear. In a instant Acacia warped behind Yaldabaoth. Before anyone could do anything Acacia opened wide and took a bite out of the giant frog.

As he did Bambina charged at him, but a explosion of energy erupted the moment Acacia swallowed the chunk from the Gourment God. When the smoke faded, Acacia was even more muscular, and he had one arm of the monkey king in his right arm, with all the others ripped apart in a instant.

Even despite its injuries Bambina tried to still fight and unleash a barrage of energy blasts from its mouth in a second, but Acacia showed off how much his power improved by catching each energy blast in his mouth and swallowed every last one of them.

He then saw Heracles coming at him and grinned before he threw what remained of Bambina, and unleashed a massive energy blast from his mouth that vaporized the Monkey King, and the blast went on to hit Heracles and vaporize a large chunk of him as well.

Acacia went on to try and devour the giant hoarse king till he felt a massive light shine down on him. He then looked up and saw a gigantic bird with dark red feathers that's size was so great that those beneath it will perceive it as a night sky, the Crow King flew over him.

Acacia saw the light get stronger before he laughed madly."So this is the Emperor Shadow of the Crow King eh? The shadow that strips your very thoughts eh? That's child's play!"

Acacia suddenly begun to vibrate his entire body very rapidly, in the next moment, the luminescent protein within his cells emitted light with a overwhelming brightness that seemed to completely wipe out the sun itself. The Emperor Crow found itself blinded, and in that moment Acacia widened its jaw large enough to rip off and devour a entre wing of the massive beast. The member of the divine Beasts instantly charged up energy and unleashed a barrage of energy blasts in all directions, only for its target to easily catch and devour every blast in its mouth.

Acacia went on to try and devour the Crow's head, only for a massive pink Snake, the Snake King, to devour him in turn.

The reptilian beast that was long enough to incircle a entire planet at once swallowed and wound up its two hundred and twenty thousand kilometer long body so that the King Snake's digestive fluids, acidic fluids that melted diamonds could concentrate on one spot. Acacia twitched for a moment before he took a deep breath, and gulped all of the Snake King's acid down its throat, which to it was little more then extra spicy soda.

The Snake King's instincts realized it only had one option, and without hesitation willingly jumped down to be swallowed by the Whale King before Acacia could break out.

The Whale King then flew up in the direction of the Dragon King, preparing to kill itself to take out Acacia. But Acacia burst out of two of the Great monster Kings in seconds. Joie saw the man favored to be a Dimensional General and laughed madly as she casually blocked Starjun's slash. Seeing the determination in her attacker's eyes just caused her to groan as she swung her knife and unleashed an energy blast.

As the explosion burst out the Black Swan sneered." You're a glutton for punishment but you reached your limit. Even without my Gourment Luck, someone like you could never beat me!"

"Even so, I have to try." Starjun muttered as he staggered forward." I own my life and I pay my debts Joie! Thanks to that man…this " Ingredient"…this " flavor"…I was able to find the one ingredient that I have the greatest compatibility with of all. Yes, because of that true Gourment Luck…is the ingredient I been after all this time."

"Huh…is this a delusion brought on by dying or something fool? Seriously, Gourment Luck, Ingredient, just what are you babbling about? "

"Even now, that man is splitting everything up and sharing it with everyone. Heh, when I first came into this world he was the man who first shared with me. It took a while, but I was at last able to confirm, that this man is my little brother, that man is Toriko!"

"What, your brother? But, then who is your father really? Bah, damn it does not matter, your all about to be corpses! All who oppose the will of Rabum Alal is just a meal! Time for you to be a offering already!"

Joie prepared to slit Starjun's throat before she felt something grasp her arm hard. She swerved around to see that Shinryudramon had at last recovered, and had moved fast enough to grasped the Black Swan's arm with his Pincer claw before she could react.

The Mega level Digimon glared at the Dark Chef before blurting out a angry," He's not on the menu lady, but you are! Infinite Exia Ray!"

Joie saw the energy blast erupt right in front of her and used her Gourment Luck to avoid a fatal blow. To her outrage she was not able to avoid the blast entirely, and as her right shoulder had a chunk of it get vaporized she yelled in pain before glaring at Ben's Digimon Partner." God damn it, you are one broken mutt! Why can't you just be eaten like a good expired leftover?"

"I'm not in the mood for that lady, even if I had to get through like a dozen giant monsters like a giant snake and a massive whale were all trying to eat me on the way here!"

"Ah...my apologies." Starjun uttered flatly." There was not much time to tame such powerful monsters."

Joie saw Shinryudramon shrug before she groaned with exasperation."Did the angels brainwash you so absolutely that even with reality hitting you in the face your still just dismissing it? Or are you just to stupid to realize what they did to you!?"

"Your wrong…I know what they did, I remember everything in my past life as Daigo. You think I'm stupid, but its because I know the pain I caused my previous boss's boss that even knowing what happened to me, I know I had it coming and just want to make up for the pain I caused! Maybe I felt powerless as Daigo but I know I have the power to do something for the better as I am now, and I'm not going to turn back from that just because you and your boss want me to! Maybe you think that's stupid but I don't care what you think!"

"So be it, then you can just die a damn idiot!"

"Better a idiot then a traitor! Besides, I took down one of Zannacross's big bad great demon lords with my friends, that means I can take down some creepy demon cook!"

"Maybe you did but he did not have my luck!"

"Real pros don't need luck as a crutch you creepy swan! Giga Drill Breaker!"

"Oh shut up and melt to dust already! Satan Drip!"

Joie took a deep breath and unleashed a burst of glowing acid at the Digimon, but to her shock Ben's digital friend had his drill glow before creating a small but powerful twister that repelled the acid. Joie winced in shock, and winced even further as Shinryudramon charged further to try and ram his drill through her head.

The Black Swan was fast enough to parry the drill with her Cinderella knife, and as her target struggled to break through she smirked." Nice try, but you just don't have what it, huh?"

She was cut off as Starjun yelled and suddenly burst for her." Even Lady Luck's good fortune is not everlasting Joie! Burner Broil Stab!"

His target saw the blazing thrust attack before she snarled out," No matter what it will never be good enough! Planet Rotary Cut!"

The being who had the face of "Chef Goddess" Froese laughed madly as she whirwind pairing slash that knocked both of her attackers to the ground. As they landed with a thud Joie snickered as she saw part of her side was burnt." All that for such meager results? Do you know realize you just don't have the power to defy those that are chosen by the ultimate winner?"

"Maybe." Starjun retorted bitterly." But I gave my all to help someone who could! Joie, you were so focused on making sure I could not beat you that you failed to realize I was not aiming for you!"

Joie heard something drop and cringed. As she looked down she realized the golden can she had Midora sealed up in got hit by that last attack, and felt a chill go down her spine. She cursed but before she could move an explosion of energy erupted out as the golden object shattered.

After a light burst out Midora emerged, with a calm, but murderous look in his eye. The head of the Gourmet Corps cracked his neck before he glanced at his wounded second in command." Starjun…I take it the situations taken a dismal turn since I was, cheated."

"Indeed boss. When I sensed your energy was sealed we enacted the contingency. The Great Monster Kings are running wild, but Acacia was released. He killed both Jiro and, Ichiryu and took a bite out of the Gourment God so his power is running wild. Joie has also killed Grinpatch, Tommygun and many of the others, I'm sorry things have gotten so sloppy."

Midora looked around to feel all the fights still unfolding around him, glanced at Shinryudramon looking at him cautiously and then glared back at Joie before he suddenly had his energy erupt with enough force to knock Joie back." It does seem because of my carelessness I spent to much time on the sidelines.

But it was not all a waste, thanks to that I was able to copy it. Fufu…so this is the vaulted "Gourment" luck eh? Thanks to my bodies Mirror Neurons" I not only picked up Ichiryu 's Minority World spell, but this Gourment Luck as well. Joie, you will regret dearly toying with me. I hope all you who tried and thought you could use me are prepared, because its time for my late dinner feast!"

Joie saw Midora 's energy surge to even further heights, before everyone felt a tremor as a pillar of darkness was blazing out in the distance. While sweat was forming in her forehead Joie just smirked." Midora, your truly one stubborn cockroach. But for all your power, your just another obstacle to be erased by your father! You can join your brothers as part of your father's meal! Yes, Acacia?"

Midora could not help hear a touch of tension in the man with his mother's face's voice, but a shock-wave in the distance caused everyone's attention to look back in the direction of the Gourment God, who was now sizzling like a meal that was ready to be served.

Acacia had been thrashing the rest of the Monster Kings, and PAIR and the rest of the Blue Nitro were at the moment underneath Yaldabaoth with a giant high-tech frying pan attached to it.

PAIR glanced at Midora now being released before he narrowed his eyes." Just be grateful we Nitro don't get as unfocused as you Joie. Its not perfect but its within the margins. Now Acacia, bite the Gourment God Yaldabaoth and at last complete your Full Corse!"

The eruption of energy was so great that even Ragyō and all of the people she wanted to kill were forced to pause their fight. The rainbow haired woman saw Acacia about to descend on his target before she grinned." So, at last all the pieces are in place eh? At last, its time for the spot line to shine down on the true winner! You all muddied up the stage long enough, vanish forever! Eternal, huh?"

Ragyō was about to try and unleash a attack with the intent of killing her children and everyone else around her, till she felt a massive light shining behind her and swerved around to see Lacus flying for her with her holy aura unleashed.

The angelic Enji was not fused with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon again but had recovered enough to resume being in her holy armored form, and as Ragyō glared at her Lacus glared back, before forming a massive holy energy sphere the size of the sprit bomb that Goku used to kill Majin Buu form in her hand." I could say the same about you Ragyō! Enough is enough, you want to know what true divine radiance is? Here's a real close look!"

Lacus proceeded to unleash her massive holy energy spell right at her target. Ragyō cursed as she used all of her power to fire at the holy spell, but was quickly overwhelmed now that Lacus was not holding back.

Ryūko saw her mother franticly try and push the blast back to no avail, and as Ragyō got blasted to the ground she yelled out a furious." Damned angel, you think you can so casually pass judgment on me!? I…Ragyō Kiryūin, will not allow any fraud to upstage me! Yes, not when ultimate power is so close to my grasp!"

PAIR heard the CEO of RAVOCS rant before he snickered."So you wish to be part of the ultimate power woman? As you wish, do it Acacia!"

The man with demonic hunger glanced at Ragyō in the distance and just smirked." Sure, might as well have my Full Course have all the flavor it can get!"

Ragyō saw Acacia widen his mouth before she winced." What, what the hell do you think your doing?"

"Seeing you truly fulling your destiny Ragyō. Your family's purpose was to see the Life-Fibers realized yes? The Life-Fibers were a older project, but it was all to see the ultimate destiny realized. You are a shrewd, impressive woman, but its time to live up to the purpose of all woman, and fulfill your destiny!"

Ragyō saw Acacia 's second chest mouth open widen and have its tongue extend before her eyes glowed purple. " No, I'm no man's slave! I'll never be used by the likes of," Her aura surged out but before she could go on the tongue grasped her, and in a second devoured her whole.

Lacus saw Ryuko's shock before she flew over." Are you going to be ok?"

"Yah..." The woman wearing a living outfit retorted." Not like I felt anything but hate for her. Just, figured it would not be so...sudden. Lets just make sure we don't end up like that yah hear Raystar?"

As the Enji nodded at the same time Acacia's main mouth took a bite out of the cooked piece of the Gourmet God. As he finished swallowing his eyes glowed red and his muscles bulged. " Yes…this is it, this is what godhood tastes like!"

Acacia took a deep breath and exhaled right above him, sucking in all of the Life-Fibers in the sky like he was devouring a massive planet wide planet of pasta. As he finished devouring all of the parasitic life forms his entire body glowed red, before he quickly transformed.

He sprouted demonic wings, a devilish tail and had his entire body evolve into a more ape demon like shape as his face sprouted sharper fangs nearly like a saber-tooth tiger.

As miniature mouths formed on his limbs and shoulders he laughed madly form all of them.

He then had his pitch black aura explode with enough force to shake the planet."At last…at LAST what took centuries has been completed! There is nothing left but to devour this shell of a planet, and rip apart anyone left in this Battle-World that is in my way! Yes, bite, gash, slurp, and rip all that dares to deny my appetite!"

Acacia was about to have his energy erupt before another aura collided into his. The embodiment of demonic hunger heard a chuckle and served around to see Midora was casually floating to the right of him.

Despite this being the first time he's seen the man he once called father in some time Midora just smirked."Yo Acacia…your' looking pretty different there. In fact your almost looking like some rabid monster."

"Tsc…how many centuries has it been Midora? You've gotten big, that is your mouth has boy! Let me guess, you got your scrawny ass whooped so you need your poppa to set things straight? I heard a frail pampered girl made you turn tail boy! Heh, what, you got something to say or did you just want to gawk at your old man becoming invincible!"

"I just have…one thing I have to ask. Ichiryu once told me…that when Froese was preparing your Full Course back then…she was already exhausted and at the prink of death. Did you set things up so that I would be near death myself when she found me?"

"Heh, I had planned for Froese to recover, you were the moron who forced her to use every last drop of strength to save your sorry life. "

"But it was you in the first place who put her in that spot! To put the impossible task of cooking the Gourment God alone. And, it was you who set me up to arrive when I did in the first place! Her killing herself to save my life with her cooking, that was your will all along? Answer me!"

As Midora's aura exploded and ripped off chunks of the planet Acacia did not flinch as those chunks collide into him and shatter upon impact. " What nonsense your cooking up now in your head eh boy?"

"Do you think Froese, the best chief in the world, would not be able to gauge her own stamina? She knew what you had planned, and killed herself to stop it! She did not approve of your plan, so you pushed her to death!"

"That's what you brothers been talking about Midora? That's not quite the story. At the time Froese was pregnant with my kid, my real spawn! And it was in that condition that she completed cooking the Gourment God of the time. In the end, it was likely the runt in her body that took all her life.

That was a pain, so I made a pact for Joie to revive in her body so things to get back on track! So my boy died, what of it? None of that meant a damn to me! The only thing I wanted was a " cook" at my side.

In order to wake up this great divine appetite so that it would be big enough to devour the universe itself…I knew I needed to prepare the ingredients properly, according to precisely how it would be cooked! With your beloved " ma's" Gourment Luck it could be pulled off! As long as that cook had that luck, I did not give a damn who it was, everything else was just formalities to smooth things over!

Heh, oh and just if your misunderstanding Midora, Froese may not have approved of me but I never saw her as a inconvenient cook. After all…every time I came home wobbling through the door covered in kisses from fans and understudies…she'd still have supper ready and wait on me like a proper woman!"

Midora's eyes narrowed before he grit out,"Acacia…your going to pay for every member of my family that you lied to!

"Piff…the world's based on deception boy! For all the huffing and puffing you been making over the years, it was all to make up for your failure! But project your failures on to me all you want boy! It's a father's nature to be the ultimate obstacle to his child."

"Maybe, but at last its time I sever that detestable bond forever! I won't be your pawn, I'll remake things the way I see fit! Don't think I'm nearly as soft as Jiro, Ichiryu and their understudies!""

" Heh, like I need your mercy? Still, am I detestable? Nah, much as you all try and deny it i'm what is what you humans desired...You craved destruction from the depths of your hearts...That is me! The shadow does not forgive anyone who goes against the feast of fate!"

"Maybe, but there seem to be quite of people who want to oppose your hunger."

Acacia glanced around to see Lacus, Ryūko, the Persona users and the other Enji coming from the right, and saw Kirby and Trunks coming at him from the left before he snarled with rage." Muhahahaha...! Pathetic humans! I'll show you what happened to those who said the same thing to me in the past! I'm more then just a mass of Gourment Cells, I am Nyarlathotep, the embodiment of human desire!

You cling on so desperately to your precious hopes, and it makes it all the more sweeter to devour every last dream you have! Understand that there is no point in living! Cry, that there is no answer! Where there is darkness, there are shadows! I, myself, am the true shape all of you humans desire, the bottomless...ruthless...hunger for dominance!"

Lacus saw the crazed look in her enemies eye and refused to back down as her holy energy shined bright enough to make her enemy wince."Your wrong, I'll show you, that the true light of human will can surpass even the greater hunger for destruction! Everything's lead to this, and I'll do whatever it takes to see it to where things should be!"

Authors Notes: Hope you all liked how things unfolded. Lacus's new way of transformation is a mix of the way the Digidestined in Season 4 of Digimon evolved after merging with the Spirits of the ancient Warriors, especially the Beast Spirits, and a mix of using Persona's from the Persona series with a dash of the Armatization used in Tales of Zestiria and Berseria . While mostly the same if more like a power up like Kaio-Ken, its to show Lacus being able to control her own destiny.

Meanwhile, it may seem random for the final part of Toriko to have more about giant monsters then the main cast but frankly that's how it went down in the manga, the cast itself got sidelined to show off how cool the author's monsters were, oh well.

Welp despite how sudden things have have felt with some things hope you guys can trust me with how it will all end up. Thanks for the reviews, hope you stick around because next time we do indeed reach the end of this arc with Chapter 234: Compassion that Shines Past the Infinite Darkness!
