"What say you, god?" Zamasu clenches his purple fist but releases it. He takes a big breath and stares back at Zuce. Instead, he extends his arms and plants his feet together. A cross. Closing his eyes, he fully extends his arms.
"Another one of you! This world has birthed too many sinners; too many of those who would defy god! Your race especially, Saiyan! For too long, god has been laid dormant and allowed for mortals to become gods themselves. His creations defy his will and now he sees that this world needs his grace again. It is the si-" But he's cut off. His face conforms to a blue right hook. His head snaps back and so does his body. Zamasu's body crashes with a bounce and crashes into a building. Some of the remaining parts of the building snap and fall to the ground, breaking upon impact.
"Good grief, you love to monologue about 'mortal this, mortal that'." Zuce cracks her knuckles and neck. In the mist of him speaking about mortals, Zuce had rocketed towards Zamasu and got good hit as well as a leg blow. With all she heard about Future Trunk's problems with him, she especially got bored of when she was told about how he would talk about the 'mortals'. Hell, she fell asleep sometimes.
His body stands itself up, and he cocks his massive fist. Zuce immediately readies herself with her normal stance. A purple aura surrounds Zamasu, and he screams out as he thrusts his fist. A white light shoots out, and anything in its path is being wiped away. Zuce widens her eyes but jumps to her right and the attack misses but destroys the buildings and roads behind her. All gone without a trace. The pressure from that attacked, she felt it.
Immediately, Zamasu rockets in and lands a punch to her face. Her body flies at an incredible speed. Through several buildings, a hole is formed from her collision. She is stopped as she hits the seventh building, and major cracks form from her impact. Using her hands, she pops out and hits the ground, and she skips across the concrete. A warm liquid runs down her cheek from her lip, and she wipes it off. It's blood and just from one punch. Jeez, I can only take so many of those. Her eyes dart above the building ahead of her, and a purple aura is darting towards her. She quickly jumps to her right as Zamasu crashes into the building.
The building crumbles. It topples on its side and breaks into multiple pieces. Smoke erupts and a dark silhouette emerges. His right-hand cuts through the smoke and he charges. Zuce forms two fists and plants her heel before speeding towards the being at breakneck speed. Their fists meet in the middle, and a huge boom emerges from clash as a wave of pressure pushes all loose debris and dirt. Lightning bolts boom on the field as the clash draws lightning. They draw their fists back and clash again but this time with their left fists. They speed up their fight as Zuce and Zamasu begin to match each blow one would throw. Right hook to right hook, left to left, elbow to elbow. Each clash generates a wave of force that shakes the ground.
"Ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ORA!" Her battle cry comes out as she relentlessly continues her assault.
"Know your place, Saiyan!" They match blow for blow as they read each other's movements.
She throws a knee to hit his stomach, but his left-hand catches it. He smiles at his speed and tries to firmly grasp it, but a heavy right hook to the face stops him from doing so. His hand releases her knee as he recoils back but doesn't go down. Instead, his purple eye glows and he spins around. He does a 360 with his purple arm, and a clear wave emits from the rotation. Zuce rockets up and the wave cleaves through the support beams of the building behind her. Glaring down, Zamasu is already charging at her with his massive fist cocked. He screams with all his fury in his heart. Shit! No time to dodge!
Gathering her hands together as she raises them above her head, Zuce brings them a blue energy beam down on Zamasu. Zamasu, in response, amasses a giant red and orange orb in a matter of seconds. The two great masses of energy clash, creating a massive shockwave. Zuce grits her teeth as she is pushing with all her might, but the orb soon overpowers her. I need more, MORE POWER! The blue aura flares intensively, and the orb is put into a standstill. She digs deeper and the beam increases in size.
Zamasu tsks.
Her beam, instantly, covers the orb and destroys it, leaving only smoke as the orb explodes. In the smoke, there are no silhouettes.
Suddenly, Zamasu appears before Zuce, and before she has time to react, sends her flying with a strong knee to her back. Her body folds like paper and she plummets at lightning speed. The impact creates a humongous crater. Zuce staggers trying to prop herself up, but her arms give out and she collapses. She manages to get on her back to see what Zamasu is doing now. A wide blood trail runs down as her eyes widen. Zamasu follows up with a sky-full of orbs and slugs them at Zuce. Shit! Gotta move!
Once more, she struggles to get up as the orbs are inching closer and closer. A white aura surrounds her, and she darts out of the immediate danger as the ground explodes covered with red dots. The entirety of Conton City shakes with each explosion. A giant shock wave emits and passes through the rubble, breaking any standing window. The shards blow into the wind. Pieces of the shattered glass fall to the ground and break.
Zamasu smiles at his fine work as the dust settles, that filthy mortal isn't there. Now, the rest of the filth is hiding somewhere around here.
"Now, no one remains to oppose me."
"GALICK-HOOOO!" Immediately, a purple beam slams into Zamasu's back and engulfs the god. His silhouette disappears. The beam pierces through several buildings with Zamasu screaming in agony. Following the trail of the beam, it's a battered Zuce firing off the attack and her blue aura flares once more. The beam's size increases immensely as she pours more energy into the attack. Call it determination to doing her job, to stall for time. She's not going down like a pebble in a waterfall.
Soon, she stops with the Galick Gun. She pants heavily and seizes up. Multiple injuries appear on her back. She didn't escape the bombard unscathed. Her garments are torn in multiple places. A cough fitting starts and Zuce can taste the blood entering her mouth. She spits it out as the taste is horrendous. Sweat beads flow down her cheek as she tries to catch her breathing. This is hell. But… I got to hold even if it's just for a few more minutes.
Immediately, Zamasu appears right in front of her with his massive right fist cocked. This sudden appearance startles Zuce, but it doesn't deter her. She cocks her fist as well, and the blue aura around her increases. Zuce charges and their fists clash.
"WAHHHHHHH!" She tries to push Zamasu, but he provides to have enough strength to prevent that. They are in a deadlock. But she's losing ground; her feet skid inch by inch as a result of the long clash. The gap between the two powerhouses is clear. But she keeps up the assault. Her blue aura increase even more. It's a desperate attempt to stall. She's not going to fall without providing enough time despite being injured and battered. She has to complete the mission or unless, there's going to be no next time. Has Xenion reached her place? Has he contacted Whis and Beerus yet? Are they coming? I can't hold on... Slabs of rubble rise and break apart.
Her face shifts as she puts more energy into her fist as Zamasu follow-suits. Zuce grits her teeth at him increasing his power. It is already a struggle for her to hold him. His final form is proving to be too much for her in this state. Vegito didn't have problems with this state, but it was the power of two of the most powerful non-celestial beings, and their power was multiplied. But there's no Potaro insight or any aid. It's her and him fighting to the death and for the future.
Zamasu's off hand has a purple aura surrounding it, and it becomes sharp at the end. It's an energy sword, and its target is Zuce. Zamasu thrust the blade towards Zuce's center, but she holds out her off hand, and the sword clashes with that hand. Her eyes dart to the new clash as she now has to divert some of her power to prevent that sword from cutting her.
But Zamasu smiles, this is what he wants. His massive arm slips below hers and aims at her head. Caught off guard, her fist misses and swings into the air while Zamasu connects to her body. He upper-cuts her and she doesn't have time to scream in pain. She is rocketed through the air and her body ragdolls.
Zamasu materializes above her and connects his hands. He descends down as he smashes his fists into her body. Her body booms, and a massive crater is created from the impact. Giant rectangular blocks of rubble are separated and lifted up. Her body bounces but Zamasu's fist connects with her face and body. She blacks out for a second from the force. The crater expands even further as Zamasu drives Zuce more into the ground. The power of his fist is drilling her into the ground. She screams out. His massive glob hand has her pinned down. She grits her teeth. Damnit, I'm going to lose consciousness if this continues! Her hands grab his hand and try to lift it up, but it comes down harder and spit flies out as the force hits her. But regardless, her hands are still gripping Zamasu's massive one and trying to push it off.
"You stand no chance against god. Your repentance is death for defying me, your god!" A purple aura surrounds his hand. It travels down to Zuce's body, and her screams become even louder. The grip she had releases and his hand once again slams into her. Her head snaps back, her eyes close, her body leans forward as the crushing energy presses more onto her. "You Time Patrollers, flicking with time is a serious crime. It is better for history to be messed up because god allowed it to happen. It's why you and the rest of those pests shall be cleansed from this earth. Once you fall, the rest can be picked off. I will cherish in their agony to know that it is god's will."
Her eyes flood open as he finishes. The cause of all this mayhem was because they defied his ruling? All those dead Time Patrollers had friends, family, and a future for them. It can't be helped that by being one could run the risk of death but those chances were low as training for the worst was essential. But they didn't deserve the deaths at the hand of a false god.
"…What?!"
"That's right. Time should be messed up if god allows it. And I did. I was drawn here by the mere presence of your ability to travel through time. Oh, how each death stroked god's power to cast more upon this world. The enjoyment of hearing the last breath of each sinner. They shall no longer tarnish god's plan. I am the beginning of the end."
"You…-" Upon hearing him finish, something inside of Zuce turns. Though no sound is being produced, the mechanisms turn. It's causing something inside of her to move and as an opposite reaction something to slip away. The process fastens with each shocking moment. With every scream, something inside of her is breaking. It is on the verge of becoming a million parts.
She makes another attempt but to no avail as it yields the same results, and she gets injured even more. Blood enters and exits out of her mouth and a trail forms. Her strength is waning, Super Saiyan Blue is a form that can only be held onto for so long and add in the damages Zamasu has done and it's a tremendous strain. She can still keep up the form but to a lesser extent now. This form is her only chance to stall for Xenion. This form is her last hope to have a chance. This form is her first and last solution. And it's not working. The difference in power is clear, and she has no chance. Nevertheless, she still continues to push. Such a stubborn resolve for a losing opponent, why not give up the match? Her fate is sealed. Supreme Kai, Conton City, the Time Patroller, the gods, they will all fall. All shall bow before Zamasu.
Zamasu laughs as he can see the futile attempt this Saiyan is making. The gritting of the teeth, the desperate struggle to hold him back, it's all there but there's no hope. None shall resist god.
"Why did you fight me? That form of yours is useless to me! Did they not tell you about my strengths?! Oh, the humiliation they brought upon themselves when facing me. Many times they'd retreated only to come back but only fail and retreat again! I knew at those moments. It proved that god is unchallengeable!"
The fire she holds is fading, and it will be replaced with god's light. It's foolish to challenge god to a battle as seen by the rest of the fighters for their demise was swift and just. Those foolish mortals will reap what they have sown. Zamasu feels her strength decreasing and at a rapid pace. Victory and fate are on his side, god's side.
Zamasu is the one true god and none shall oppose him. He will rival all of creation and start off with killing off of the Kais of these universes, no other gods or angels shall interfere with his goal. He has done so in his timeline and look where it has gotten him. Though with some persistent resistance, he will complete his goal. The goal of no more mortals, the goal of divine justice, the goal of purification for all to see and bear witness to.
All hail, Zamasu the Savior of gods, all hail, Zamasu, Slayer of Sinners, all hail, Zamasu, the
One
True
God.

But
The ground shakes. Broken rubble all around bounces back and forth. Some of the lesser heavy ones flow into the air and as they float; they break apart. Even he, at this moment, is perplexed at the source of this earthquake. Zamasu scans the surrounding area. Nothing, no life forms except those in the distances, and those fleeting. He feels a burning sensation in his hand and as he peeks at his hand, a vast amount of blue energy pouring throughout the crater and he can only look in astonishment. What he sees in that pit shall forever be set into stone the course for the future.
It is known that when an animal is cornered; they tend to fight back. Their life is on the line and being in another creature's stomach isn't the ideal place so they fight with everything they've got. Claws, teeth, stingers, legs, hell, they would sacrifice parts of their body to gain an edge.
Something snaps.
Feats of said fighter are still told amongst the newer generations. The older ones are those who experienced firsthand the insurmountable power within. By no means does it translate into a perfect character but rather how one might grow in time. Training is needed. Maybe months upon months, even years, of dedication to training. Experience is necessary. To lose, to win, to have a draw. Nothing will be handed up on a plate. Nothing is free. There's no god that can do that. It is the mortal way. It's been over a year now, and their life has been turned upside down. From fighting the other multitude of races to those selected power individuals of which their power seems to have no scale, it's been one hell of a ride in Conton City. It has been written in books of how a normal Saiyan could become a hero. Nothing was given to her, nothing was offered to her, she worked for it all. What Zamasu is seeing is the embodiment of all things mortal. All the time spent in her life is coming at him. This is a Saiyan's wrath.
His eyes set upon one component of Zuce. Her demeanor, from pure rage, from sadness and tears, from boldness and pain to now pure of something. Something that
It is purely saved for those who act with such intentions. It is purely a rare opportunity for a raw emotion to run freely. But it is here.
It is pure
Hatred.
The blue aura around Zuce is increasing exponentially, and it isn't letting up. A Saiyan's strength comes from training but another aspect would be their raw emotions. Such should not be tinkered with as it brought upon the demises of the forces of evil. It brings out the raw and hidden power beneath them as they put limits on their power to avoid collateral collisions. Anyone of Super Saiyan caliber could destroy planets should they be left unchecked. For beings like her, self-censor is necessary in-case they go off. But, something else isn't holding the wheel. The self-barrier isn't there anymore. The barrier can hold for only so long before it breaks.
The burning sensation increases from his hand, and it travels to his elbow. Her grip pushes against the hand that holds her to the point his hand is slowly bending towards this power. The blue aura covers the crater.
Zamasu jumps out. Zuce stands and the area that the blue aura is covering increases even more. There seems to be no limit despite the drain the form has. It's only increasing.
Lightning thunders the area causing more formations of small craters, and it's most prominently around Zuce. Conton City is shaking as the refugees inside Kai's palace hold close together. As the focus is back on Zuce, it seems to be that Zuce isn't moving a whole lot. Her stance has her head a bit hunched; her arms at the height of her ribs, and her feet are not too far apart. Her body vibrates ever so slightly as the thunder continues around her. Her teeth are showing and her eyes are focused on the ground.
Something is coming.
….
…
…
But,
Zamasu holds out his hand. A medium size red and orange orb appears and soon expands greatly, certainly well over the size of Zamasu himself. He smiles at the perfect opportunity, a sitting duck in the middle of powering up. He let it happened once and it caused him his prey, he won't let it happen for the second time for god is all-wise and all-knowing. Like Adam and Eve, it was god's mistake the 1st time and he shall never do it again.
"Say goodbye, mortal! Judgment is upon you! Once I'm done with you, I'll find everyone else and they'll share the same fate! Take this! The full power of god! Holy Wrath!" He chugs the red energy ball, and it has reached the size of multiple stadiums. The death ball travels at a downward angle as it inches closer and closer to where the crater's at. But the only muscle she moves is her head as she snaps it forward to what Zamasu had said. He's going to kill them all. This is Trunk's future. A world terrorized by a god, and no hope for a chance to fight back. A bottomless future. A hopeless future. This is what god decrees and the earth should follow. Creation shall follow its creator and none shall resist.
Veins pop and her pupil vanishes. The blueness of her eyes is gone. Only the white is there. Steam pumps out her body as she grits her teeth. Her head snaps back in place, and her arms are at stomach level and glancing at them, they form Vs. Electricity courses through her body as the pressure emits high-speed winds. This is what ignites the Saiyan spirit in her. The fiery emotions, the cries of desperation, the helplessness of those who surround her, and an enemy that strokes the flame of her spirit. It will take more than that to bring her down. Saiyan will always rise to fight again.
"HAAAA-" But the giant death ball hits. Her white eyes face her fate. The death ball consumes her body, and her dark silhouette appears while the ball is crashing down on her. Her screams are engulfed by the ball, but it continues on. And then, it trails off. The silhouette breaks apart with the body and then to the arms. No longer is her voice in the air, but silence replaces it. The shaking has stopped as well.
She's gone, erased from existence.
The crater expands exponentially as the pressure from the ball pushes it down. The ground is being pushed back, and the ball lowers itself with every waking second. Cracks form and the little pieces rumble. Dust emits out of the crater as it continues on its journey.
Zamasu smiles as the ball drills even deeper into the earth. Gloating over this day, that on this day, no more mortals have the power to stand up and battle against him. The pseudo-god is dead and soon the rest shall follow. A futile attempt it was for her to resist god. It was written in the beginning that god and mortals were on different planes. Why are mortals so stubborn to follow the hand that feeds them? Submit when asked.
Zamasu laughs. He puts his normal arm to his forehead.
"See, mortal? God's will is my will. I stand above all while you grovel in the dirt. I am not to be trifled with!" He laughs even more. More manically as his arms stretch to form a cross. His favorite symbol to make the connection to god in him is strong.
On a nearby rooftop, two figures, a human and a Majin, are crouching.
Avdol can only stare with her mouth open. She couldn't move; someone who has been with her from the start. She… she's gone.
Avdol and the rest of her friends had immediately changed out of their clothes when the first explosion had hit. Mollusc and Gastro had gone to aid in the evacuation despite not knowing what the hell was going on. Zuu and Wuu went to the shelter as aids to help settle down people and their fears. And all that's left with her is Suu.
She and Suu traveled to the explosion where they meet Xenion fleeing from the battle. He had rocketed passed them, mumbling something about Whis. He didn't bat an eye towards them and could only focus on going his way.
Then she saw it, she saw it all. The beginning until the end. The Super Saiyan Blue transformation, the exchange of blows, Zamasu overpowering her, and now this. Her death. How hopeless it was for Zuce to combat this opponent that was leagues above her level. Even with her transformation, it was hopeless. All the dead Patrollers were an attest to how separated they were to him.
Her boots tremble and her entire body soon trembles as reality settles. They are all going to die. No help is coming to them. Not a soul outside knows this is happening now. Their only solution… is to die with dignity or to die a coward.
"She's dead… she's actually dead…." Suu stares. A dear friend of theirs lies in the ground; the only thing accompanying her is the death ball. About an hour before all of this, she was celebrating and having fun with her close group of friends. But everything changed. Everything is changing. Suu shifts uncomfortable in her outfit. She wears a one piece brown and goldish combat suit that leaves her sleeveless and shows a bit of side-boob. Around her waist is a goldish belt with an eye symbol. Around her neck is a heavy blue. Her hair is in a ponytail that on the right side.
"May-maybe she-" But the giant orb explodes. A surmountable shockwave and heat-wave emit. Suu and Avdol brace themselves as they see the waves coming towards them. Suu grabs Avdol's hand, and a white aura surrounds her. She rockets it off as she feels the heat. They are not strong enough to come out of the blast unscathed and falling back is the best option for them. Zamasu turns as he sees a white aura on top of a nearby rooftop and he smiles.
"They lay witness to the power of god! Tremble at my might!" He laughs as they flee.
Her dying scream echoes through their minds. What was the point of fighting a being like him? All of the Patrollers that caught a glimpse turned tails and ran as they couldn't even sense his energy. Those who stood against him are waiting in line in front of King Yemma. They are ants, and he is the foot. Any method they could possibly bring was squashed. Through and through, the fight is finished; they have lost. Retreat or die on their feet are the only possible options now. No amount of fighting can prepare them for this. No amount of Shenron's power can stop this monstrosity. Earth's power isn't enough to stop this being.
They land on a distant building, and Avdol collapses as Suu can only stare at the huge crater. They are on the edge of the newly formed crater. The giant crater spans over massive acres of land. It seems like a quarter of the urban part of Conton has been destroyed. All that's left are cracks of lightning, blue lightning. Suu turns to Avdol. Avdol is on all fours while she is in shock.
"We- we have no hope… We're all going to die..." All Suu can do it pick apart Avdol's mumbling.
"Wha-t, what should we do? We can't just accept our fate. We have to do something, ANYTHING! I DON'T WANT TO DIE ON MY KNEES!" Avdol doesn't turn or say anything. She's too stunned to provide an answer. Yes, indeed, what should they do? Fight and die? Run and hide? They are too weak to have an effect on a person like him. But should they not try? Valiant warriors have risen out of impossible situations.
Without a response, Suu turns towards the humongous crater and gulps. Beads of sweat run down her face and her body trembles. She tries to get a grip, but no method would work. The gap between the strongest person here and Zamasu is that the strongest person is dead in a ditch. She is too scared to act. Batting an eye to Avdol, she's in the same condition. What is gripping them both is a concept that has been with humanity since the dawn.
Fear
The fear of death, the fear of loss, the fear of the unknown. Fear crumbles great men and women. Fear turns them into a shell and has them retreat to the farthest away they can be from what they fear. They could have helped but didn't. Why? Was it the bodies in the street, was it that they trusted in Zuce and her Super Saiyan Blue, or rather, was it out of fear that they may die. They are not Saiyans, they don't gain power when near death, they don't relish fighting; they do it to protect the peace.
This is the reality they live in. This is what they're going to deal with. An oppressive madman bent on acting on god's will. The murderer of 12 Kai's, 12 God of Destructions, and the murder of almost all life in the remaining universes. This is who they're dealing with. This is their fight and right now two options are clear. Be a hero and die or be a coward and run.
Suu reaches out and grasps Avdol's shoulder and shakes it. Avdol breaks out of her deep state to look at Suu. They are both scared.
"We have to go back. Tell Xenion the news. We make a last stand at the palace." All Avdol could do is nod. She turns around.
"Where do you think you're going?" They snap their heads around to see a particular figure standing before them in a cross formation. Their eyes widen as they see Zamasu standing before them. How did he find us?! Damnit, it must have been when we fled. We can't win even if we team up. Someone has to make it. Suu glances at Avdol, and then to Zamasu, and back to Avdol. She needs to do this. One of them has to survive.
"Avdol, when I give the signal, run to Xenion. Tell them we'll fight until our last breath and to let the people esacpe." Avdol stands and stares at Suu. She closes her eyes and nods before opening them. They get into their fighting poses. Avdol has her right knee out in front and her right hand near it as well. Her arm length is at an angle where the right is the lowest and the left is the highest. Her left foot plants back.
Suu has taken the brawler stance. Left fist ahead of right and left foot ahead of right.
All Zamasu does is laugh and accept the pointless challenge. A purple aura surrounds him. What stands before him are cockroaches to be crushed. All of them are cockroaches. Some are stronger, wiser, or more valiant than others, but they all will share the same fate. Under his boot, dead.
"Come! Your fate shall be the same as the rest! Dead, gone, erased from existence!" Suu and Avdol tense up as two white auras surround their bodies. Suu gulps before the challenge ahead of her. She's not going to survive but at least the rest of them can survive. She closes her eyes. If I die here, so be it. I never thought it would be today of all things. But... I'm not going down without a fight! Opening her eyes, her fate is sealed.
"Closes your eyes!" Suu's hands go to her forehead, and her fingers flash the center. "Solar Flare!" A bright white light engulfs the rooftop, but importantly Zamasu didn't close his eyes but Avdol did. Out of the bright light, Avdol rockets out and heads north to shelter. Avdol glances back. Tears wail in her eyes as another friend will soon disappear. But she has to remain strong, to commemorate their booms out of the area and heads south.
"ARGHHH!" The solar flare blinds Zamasu. His hands immediately reach to cover his eyes, but he is too slow. He thrashes about while Suu levitates off the rooftop and is near the edge of it as the white light soon slowly dissipates.
Suu cups her hands and a blue orb appears. It touches both of her pink hands as it spins around in her grasp.
"Kame-"
"How dare you act against god!" But Suu continues on with her attack.
"-hame-" The distortion in his eyes vanish. He rubs them and his vision soon becomes slightly clear. Zamasu makes out a figure ahead of him with the pinkness in her skin. A purple aura surrounds him, and he charges forward with his massive fist cocked.
"PAY FOR YOUR SIN!"
"HAAAAAAAAA!" With the mighty scream, Suu extends her arms out towards Zamasu, and the orb shoots out. A beam emerges and it hits Zamasu as he charges. The beam consumes his figure as it also hits the building. It pierces through the bricks and shoots out of the side. At the end is Zamasu as he is being pushed back. Suu is pushed back by the powers of the Kamehameha, but she lets out more of her power.
"AAAAAAAAH!" Her white aura flares even more as she continues to yell.
"THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" But he could do naught as he's stuck. Eventually, his body hits a building, but the attack still continues. Suu is determined like Zuce to stall but her power is waning but she still keeps up the energy beam.
Zamasu's massive arm gets to his chest, and his arm flares up with the purple aura. The beam is focused on his arm as it can't pass through the heavy resistance that is Zamasu's ki, but Suu keeps at it. She grits her teeth as the strength in her arm is taxing on her. The drain of keeping the Kamehameha is overflowing the adrenaline rush she had moments ago. Her breathing becomes unsteady, and she becomes pale from the drain. Zamasu feels the beam weakening and he smiles. Punishment is soon for this mortal.
The attack dies off and left standing is a weary Majin. She tsks before a white aura surrounds her body, and she rockets in the direction of the crater. Time for cat and mouse.
She zooms to the middle and she glares behind to see Zamasu quickly shortening the gap. Her eyes widen as the distance between them isn't that far-off. Still, she snaps her head back and increases her flight speed. Suu has done the fighting, now is the time for the flight. With all this rubble, an abandoned building would be an obvious hiding spot, but there are multiple of them in the area.
But as she nears the middle of the crater, Zamasu materializes above and comes down with an overhead smash. Suu snaps her head to see him coming down with a bulldozer of a hit and all she can do is whip her body around and hold out her arms in front to take the blow. Her legs cuddle up and Zamasu nails her. His whole fist slams against her body, and she is sent accelerating to the ground.
She smashes into the ground, forming a mini crater near the middle. Bruises appear on her arm as she spits out. Her face in absolute pain from the hit. Her body screams out agony. Blood spills from her mouth. Ugh, this taste. She spits to the side after recollecting herself. It's a wonder if she had gotten hit on her back would she still be around or will it have to be contained in a jar in King's Yemma?
Zamasu roars and he charges with a fist towards Suu. She closes her eyes to accept her fate. Guess this is my pit-stop. Though her body can't move without injuring herself even more, she scans to see that she's close to where she fell. Zuce's grave. Her eyes weakly dart to where her friend has fallen. If death claims two close friends, let death claim them when they are close together. It's a peaceful death to know that the last sight of a person will be of their comrade. The number of times they've been with each other, the experience and jokes and laughter they'd shared. It's a fitting end for friends.
"Hey there… it seems that we're going to be together soon." Zamasu gets closer and closer to where Suu's body is lying. It's hard to breathe but Suu takes another breath. A chuckle comes out of Suu. "Heh, with all this talk of god this and god that, it puts a thought into my head. Though I don't like to think about it; I've always wondered what heaven is like." Now he is mere yards away from her. The shadow of his fist overlays her body and she inhales one more deep breath. "Do we all live in one big community and everyone is happy? Do we all experience our own kind of grace? I just want there to be a lot of food. Hmmm, the simple things in life." Her hand reaches to where Zuce fell. "Guess we're about to find out… goodbye… everyone."
*Rumble*
Suu could only blink as tremor hits. Her right-hand shakes from the power of the tremor. Zamasu continues to rocket down towards her, and he is mere feet away. Her broken slimes are damaged beyond repairs that a Senzu bean is needed or days of worth of food to recover all her lost slime, but her senses are still operating. Something is underneath the ground and it's coming up. No way. Could it be?
*Rumble, rumble, rumble*
Soon, buildings vibrate immensely. Suu's body jiggles as being slime but her jaw drops. Her eyes dart all around to see that other buildings are trembling as well. Zamasu stops his charge as he sees it too. He expresses a confused look.
It's not just the building shaking; it's all of Conton again. Zamasu scans all around to see who could be causing this. Flicks of power like someone turning to turn on a lighter. He senses something, something is coming. The signal is weak to the right and left and behind him. His eyes widen, it's strongest in the middle where he sank the Saiyan and where Suu is at.
"What is this?! Another contender? You insects must be persistent! For now, I will squash this one!" Zamasu resumes his charge, but a bright spark emerges from the crater. Specifically, a white light emerges from the crater. Zamasu stops his charge as the bright white beam catches his attention. The beam pierces through the dark skies and opens the light. The light shines upon the crater and onto the beam. A silhouette of a shadow appears. It soon becomes clear that a figure is standing up. The figure staggers but manages to lift their body upright.
It seems that she is resisting her fate of death. Her resolve is stronger than what is coming towards them. Her body stands stiff, but massive waves of wind generate from their spot. Dust clouds form. The dark clouds that shrouded Conton are disappearing as the light continues on and she just stands there. The sunshine hits all of Conton City. The warmth of the sun hits Suu as she lies there.
Suu's eyes widen. The light, it's warm and comforting. From her hand, it spreads throughout her body and she smiles. Zuce? Her eyes grow heavy from exhaustion. The trembling seems to be more of a parent rocking a baby to sleep. What is she witnessing? What is this turn of events? It's all happening so fast. The death of a friend, the rise of a tyrant, and now this. This is the story all about how their lives will be changed from this day forth.
The whole area, no, Conton City, no, the whole world is quaking to this new foundation of power.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!"
The voice booms through the heavens and shakes the skies. The earth trembles under this voice as it continues on. It pierces the ears. The world is shaking. It's her voice but mixed with something else, something to make it more… inhuman.
Zuce is coming.
Two people freeze their chopsticks from putting more food into their mouths. The huge presence of this new power, they felt it instantly. This raw immense power, it's nothing they've felt before. They turn around and face south. The power, it's coming from that direction. Two men with black hair sitting on at a table place their bowls on the table as it shakes. But it's not only their table; the other tables are shaking as well and violently at that. Their families stop their chatter as they start feeling it as well. One of the men stares at the other.
"Vegeta, you feel that?" The heavy pressure in the air, he has never felt this power before. It seems to be god ki, but he can't seem to pinpoint exactly whose it is. Vegeta smirks.
"It's strong. Just what I wanted too. A strong opponent. Hands off, Karkarot. This one is mine."
"You can't call dibs like that." Their Saiyan blood is itching. It's boiling; the lid is almost about to pop out. This unfamiliar energy, it's huge, they want to fight it. No, not want to fight, but rather, they need to fight it. It has been long since they've sensed this type of energy; it has a resemblance to that of god ki.
Its source is coming from the south and that's where they'll go.
"Let's go, Vegeta!"
"Don't give me orders, Karkarot." And they get out of their chairs. White auras surround their body and they jet off. Their families yell questions of coming back here, but it falls on deaf ears.
The picture of her isn't clear yet. The beam of light still stands as a mask to her appearance but her hair is standing up but not put together. As known in the Saiyan community, the hair strands come together into a gravity-defying look when transforming but her hair isn't. It's more widely spread. Her pupils too, they are of a silver color.
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The beam breaks apart and there is Zuce in all her glory. What her power is showing to them, to Suu and to Zamasu. A blue-ish tinge surrounds her body. Her red Gi vest is shredded and falls to the ground, torn apart by the previous explosion. Same goes for her belt as it is charred. The black belt falls on the ground. All she has are her black shirt, pants, and boots, but they are all scratched up, and some tears have appeared. She stares at Zamasu, before something grabs her boot. There's a weak aura coming from the ground, and Zuce glances at her leg to see a hand is grabbing it. Connecting to the hand is a broken Majin who is losing conscious fast. Her breathing is jagged. Zuce's new eyes widen as flashes of memory of this person play throughout her mind.
Zuce turns and glares daggers at Zamasu who can only grit his teeth. She has a calm demeanor, and he does not like it. His arm cocks back and an orange ball appears. Enough with these transformations, enough with these Saiyans, enough with these Time Patrollers, and enough with this individual! So many distractions for this true god!
"So what if your form changes?! A mere mortal is nowhere near the power of god! You've weakened yourself by reverting back to your base form!" He chugs it forward and it expands greatly. The size is relatively similar to the one that Zuce was caught in, but all she does is plant her feet forward ready to dodge it but something snaps in her mind. The weakened individual. This is what Zamasu wanted.
Dodge and the girl dies, charge in and she might die as well.
Her mind is made up. She charges, leaving a huge dust cloud, and cocks her fist. As the ball and she meet in the middle, she drives her fist into the ball and the ball expands. She disappears within the blast. It's going to blow up on Zuce, and she's going to die once more. And this time, she's dead for good. Zamasu smiles as he sees her diving.
Regardless of what form they transform into, god will best them all. Let them transform into snakes, figures of pure evil, giants, or even into pseudo-gods, none will best him.
But,
his Holy Wrath explodes without a second thought, and Zamasu could only stare as his attack dissipates into the wind. He couldn't stare long as something is driven into his temple.
It's a fist. A fist from Zuce.
It will take quite more than an energy attack to deter Zuce.
She drills into his face, and he can only stare before he realizes what has happened. His body sonic-booms and smashes into the ground and another crater is formed. He rubs his temple, but a fury of fists stops him. All he can do is scream in pain and recoil to the power of each blow. Each strike, faster than the trained eye can see, is expanding Zamasu's crater. Zuce isn't letting up; her attacks are gaining momentum and power. This is a new type of power inside of Zuce; something inside of her woke and is in the forefront.
Zamasu grits his teeth; he can endure all of this. He is god; he is perfection. His purple eye sparks a star.
"ENOUGH!" He lashes with his massive arm, but Zuce already ducked beneath his arm and rockets forth. Her knee connects to his chin and he feels the power within. He's going to lose. His skull is breaking; first, it was from the punch and now from the knee. His body shoots into the air, his arms stretched and his head snaps back. Zuce tails after him. She quickly catches up. Hell is unleashed upon Zamasu as he is bounced in the air through punches, kicks, elbows, and legs. He is her personally ragdoll and with each bounce comes a boom.
On the ground, Suu can only see and hear the booms in the sky. All she can do is chuckle before her head swings to her right side and her eyes close.
"Go, Zuce. Go-" And she's out. The injuries are settling in her body and the only option for her is to sleep while the battle rages above her.
Two people materialize near to her and it's Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta has his arm on Goku's shoulder as his pride wouldn't let him touch his rival's hands. Goku has two fingers on his forehead. Immediately, they see Suu lying on the ground. Kneeling down, Goku lifts her neck and then her legs.
"I sensed weak energy coming from here and she's why. She's taken a beating."
"She's weak but alive." Goku breathes out a sigh of relief while Vegeta can only stare into the air. The energy from this place is what brought him here. Maybe a new opponent has come, but he senses two energy signatures. One of which he has a strong connection too. It can't be. His eyes widen as one of the figures is Zamasu. He tenses as the realization hits him. He didn't want to believe it. Zamasu is here. That Zamasu is in this timeline. Zeno had erased him, no; he erased the entire universe to get rid of Zamasu. The amount of effort it took to bring him down was astonishing. It wounded his pride about how many times they had retreated, but it was restored during his infamous beatdown of Black only to be swept by Merged Zamasu. Not even Vegito could beat him in the time given. His hands turn into fists. Bulma and Trunks and the new baby, those are his first priorities. Second is finding out this mysterious signature. It wasn't Zamasu but that other person in the sky. He has felt something similar to the other person but can't put this finger on it.
"ZAMASU IS HERE!?" Goku's obvious hindsight didn't help the situation. His teeth also grit as flashbacks of Zamasu appear throughout his head. He turns towards Vegeta with an unconscious Majin in his arms. "I'll be back!" He puts two fingers to his forehead, and he instant transmits.
Still curious, Vegeta levitates near the battle. He is picking apart the energy signature and clothing the other person is wearing. He has trained multiple of these Time Patrollers and only the exceptional ones pass his tests. Even so, he has graced them with Super Saiyan Blue and some pass with flying colors. He can only say that it's a female Saiyan in a new form fighting Zamasu. He smiles. A Saiyan is giving Zamasu a run for his money.
Goku rematerializes besides Vegeta, and a powerful shock wave emits from the nearby fight. It passes through them and their hair shakes about. Their clothes fluster in the wind as they sense the power. Goku squints his eyes to make out the details of the person before his eyes widen as well. It's his student and sparring partner.
"It's Zuce!" Just as he says that, Zamasu crashes into the ground, all battered, scratched, beaten, and bruised up. Zuce lands on his stomach with a stomp, and he is out of breath. Zuce levitates into the air before stomping against Zamasu again, and he is suffering. This isn't a fight; it's a beat-down. Zamasu may have gotten the edge at first but slowly; it all changed when the fire orb blew up.
A shadow casts over his face, and it's not Zuce but rather the bottom of her boot. She rubs it all over his face. Zamasu resentfully stares at his opponent, how humiliating this is for god to be in. Crushed by a human, he gets angrier and angrier! This isn't how god should be! Mortals are to be under his foot, his thumb! This mortal, however, is proving god wrong.
His purple eye shines and Zuce jumps out as the crater he had made expanded.
"Insulate mortal! I've grown tired of you!" Zamasu leaps out the crater with his massive hand having the energy sword. Oh, the fun times he had stabbing someone. He's on the ground while Zuce is in the air. Zuce comets towards Zamasu, and he slashes with his saber vertically, but Zuce had already moved against it. She had spanned around to her right when he was about to bring his blade down. She lands a powerful punch to his face and he flies back. His body tumbles and skips across the ground and through several buildings. He catches himself with his massive hand as he dissipates the sword.
He cocks his fist back as he sees her coming and at high speeds. She sees him up ahead as he thrusts his fist, sending a shockwave at her. With a flick of her backhand, the shockwave goes into a nearby building, destroying that instead.
Zuce's right-hand drifts low, and a yellow sword forms. It's her own Z sword. Zamasu holdshis off-hand and starts firing red tracking beams at her but she beautifully weaves through all of them and inches closer to Zamasu.
He lashes with a horizontally attack, and her body flips above the attack and above his head. Landing and spinning around, she brings her sword down. Zamasu turns around but it's too late, a quick swipe cuts down the middle and through his massive slug fingers. He stares as his vision becomes two. All but his thumb were cut and are now lying on the ground. But his body isn't cut all the way. His fingers had gotten in the way, and something was also there. Something clangs to the ground. Zuce's off-hand has a blue orb and thrusts it forward. The blue orb extends to be a blast, and it consumes Zamasu.
He screams as he is being pushed into a building. The building has his imprint of being smashed into by the fractured side of the building. He breathes shortly as he is trying to fathom what just occurred.
Zuce's eyes flicker. They flicker to her black pupils. Walking a bit forward, Zuce cups her hands and gets into that stance. A familiar orb appears in her hands. It spins exponentially and is already too massive for her hands to hold. The amount of ki pouring into this attack must be huge as she can no longer palm it. A glimmer shines from the orb as she thrusts it forward.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" It's the Kamehameha. A blue laser shoots and heads towards a weakened Zamasu. He cries out as the Kamehameha engulfs the entire building and beyond that. The attack's height reaches up to a half the height of a stadium. Soon, the attack dissipates as the energy Zuce had put it vanishes.
For how far the eye can see, there's not a trace of trees, rubbles, or anything at all. Zamasu still stands with his massive arm in front. It was protecting him. All of his clothes are gone. Destroyed by the blue beam. But he collapses as well into the ground, unresponsive. A puff of dust emits from under him. Immortality doesn't mean invincibility. Nor does it work the other way around. Immortal people will live forever, but it doesn't deny the reality that they will still feel what others feel.
The aura around Zuce flickers before it disappears. Her pupils change to black. Her hair reverts to normal. Her breathing becomes heavy. Leaning back and forth, the stability of her breaks. Trying to catch herself, her foot slips on a rock, and her body leans back. She doesn't have enough strength to stop herself and continues to fall. She falls and lands on the broken rubble of the ruined building. Dust clouds emit under her. Her eyes daze towards the sky. Her vision becomes. The breathing is coming at a slow rate.
"W-h, what was that?" Before she follows the same fate as Suu. Exhausted to the point of passing out. Her arms are stretched out, and she closes her eyes. Super Saiyan Blue and this new form drained the most out of her. Something is touching her fingers. A shine from the sun shows the silver glow, but it's in pieces. It looks like a ring was the design. It must have been what was stopped Zuce from bisecting Zamasu. A spark emits from the ring. It's small but it flickers out.
Goku and Vegeta, on the other hand, could only watch the speculate fight occur. They wanted to jump in and fight Zamasu, but it seemed that Zuce had in the bag with her new transformation.
"What was that, Vegeta?"
"How am I supposed to know? Don't ask stupid questions." Goku is pumped up. A strong ally for the Tournament of Power, all she needs to recover is a Senzu bean, and they are good on another fighter for their rosters. Also when they win, Goku is going to spend most of his time training with her. That form is amazing!
But, Zamasu.
His body twists and turns before he straightens himself up. He pants heavily; she did a real number on him, but immortality does play a good role in surviving. He grits his teeth before the purple glob reattaches his bisected head and chest together. Beads of sweat pour down his chin, and he glares at Zuce. A mortal did this much damage and even managed to knock him out. It proves his ideals wrong that god and mortals were on separated levels. Mortals could one day surpass gods in power. She is a threat to his ideology.
"YOU'VE LIVED FOR LONG ENOUGH!" He roars and jets forward, energy sword in his off-hand as he approaches Zuce. She's out and won't be a problem for him.
Suddenly, two huge energy flares to his right. His eyes dart to the massive spikes before seeing them. Those familiar faces, the ones before, the ones that caused his downfall. Goku and Vegeta with their blue hair. Goku has his hands to the side while Vegeta has his out front.
"HAAAAAAAA!"
"ASHHHHHHH!" Two beams shoot. One of yellow and one of blue energy. Zamasu stops in his tracks as the beams combine together. The yellow syncs with the beam and the Final Flash spirals around the Kamehameha. It's the Final Kamehameha.
It nails Zamasu, and the beam pushes him back. A scream of agony wails out of him, and he is pushed away from his objective. The combined attacks consume his figure, and he is sent flying into the broken rubble.
The attack ends and Zamasu skips along the ground before he stops eventually. Veins pop all over his exposed body and he roars.
"NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, I WILL ALWAYS RETURN!"
Two shadows cast over Zamasu's body. Two other figures are descending. It's Whis and Beerus. She did it; she stalled enough for them to arrive along with the help of Suu. It's over for her. She has done her part and now it is up to god to punish this heretic. The last act in this play is coming to a closure. A well-deserved rest is what these people need from today. Beerus has one of his claws picking in-between his teeth. He finds the string of chicken within and he flicks it away.
This is what caused Beerus to be involved to the point of creating an alternate timeline. This right here is the reason why he intervened in mortal affairs. He just wants to enjoy the delicious cuisine that Earth offers.
"So this is what he has turned himself into." He opens his hand into a palm and directs at Zamasu. "Hakai." His body erupts.
Zamasu screams as he feels parts of his body disappearing. The last thing he will ever see it the hand of god punishing him.
"I AM GOD. I AM GOOO-" The purple dust consumes his body as it fades into the wind. First, his legs and head, then, it travels to his center, then to his arms, and finally his fingers. He vanishes into purple dust, and all that is left is the echoes of his death scream. Not a speck of Zamasu is left as his body disintegrates. Destroyed by a God of Destruction. Immortal or nothing, there is nothing he can't destroy.
Beerus turns to Goku and Vegeta. Goku waves his hand while Vegeta stares. He has never seen Beerus use that move before. But it terrifies him. This could have been the fate of Earth months ago when he first came. It was only thanks to the prophecy of the Super Saiyan God and the fight with Goku that Earth was spared. Goku and Vegeta teleport to where Whis and Beerus are.
"Yo, Whis, when did you and Beerus get here? I swore it would have taken you at least 15 minutes to get here." Beerus stretches and yawns. A tear forms from the yawn in the corner of his eye before he wipes it off. He rubs his eyelid with his knuckles as they approach him. Whis smiles.
"I got a call from Xenion, telling me that Conton City was attacked by Zamasu. Toki-Toki was also in the city and it's one of my many duties to protect him. His eggs are vital to this universe. But it seems the problem has been dealt with. Tell me, what happened here? And is that Zuce over there?" His head tilts to see the better angle and he sees one of his students lying on the rubble. His focus turns back on Goku and Vegeta. "If you would, explain this whole thing."
"Well-"
KRAKA-KOOOOOOM
A loud bang interrupts Goku. They all immediately turn around to see a white flash before their eyes. Goku and Vegeta shield their eyes while Whis and Beerus don't. They only stare at it as the white flash soon turns into an orb. The ground shakes immensely as the orb continues to expand. They all retreat back as it is unknown what is going on.
The orb itself expands significantly as it swallows everything in its path. Broken buildings, rubble, they all vanish as the light touches it. Whatever this is, it's not friendly. They need to get back otherwise, what's on the other side, they don't want to find out.
"What is that?"
But as Goku finishes his statement, the ball dies down and shrinks. It shrinks and poofs away. A bit of a melodramatic scare on the people in the area. It didn't do much, but a bunch buildings disappeared along with the white glow. In those empty spots are the marks of the foundation of the buildings. Whatever that thing was, it could have been dangerous should it have continued on. Goku has his hand on his temple as he is trying to figure that mysterious orb out.
"Jeez, why did that happened?"
But Whis notices something else. Zuce isn't lying on the ground anymore. In fact, he can't sense her weakened energy signature anywhere. Curious while the others talk among themselves, he has his black orb go green and he peeks with one eye. Supposedly, an image should show but none is there. He hmms as nothing is showing up. His eyes dart to where she was lying, but nothing is there, only rubble.
"Guess there's some bad news after-all. I can't sense or see Zuce anymore." Beerus, Goku, and Vegeta all stop their conversations to look at Whis. He has a stern look on his face as he stares to where she was supposedly lying on. They all follow his eyes and see the same results.
Zuce is gone.
A young girl skips along the beaten pathway. She has on a yellow raincoat and a red scarf wrapped around her neck. She is no younger than six years old with her blue eyes and blonde hair.
It's lightly raining and it's mildly cold. Yellow, brown, and orange leaves fall all around her as she continues on. She's in a forest with the trees aging, losing all their leaves as fall hits.
She hums while kicking up water with the tips of her boots.
"It's raining, it's pouring, my dad is snoring!"
"Why, yes, I am! *Snoring sounds*." Behind her and a few feet away is a medium height man with a full-on beard. He looks to be thirty-nine years old with his green eyes and brown hair. He is averagely built. He has on a dark blue raincoat as he steady walks behind the little girl. His head tilts to the right and his eyes close as he continues on walking. The little girl turns around to see her dad snoring. and a giggle emerges from her.
She turns and spins with her arms stretched out.
Up ahead to her right is a staircase that leads down to the Arkansas River. She grips the handrail and descends and at a faster rate, all the while laughing. The father has a worried look and runs to the staircase.
"Honey! Not so fast!" The sound of her father's voice reaches her ears. The child stops in her tracks. Turning around, she sees her worried father. The look strikes at the child's core, and her happy demeanor changes to a sad one.
"Sorry, dad." He breathes a sigh of relief before he heads down the staircase with his daughter. The guardian of the kid reaches her in no time as he quickly paces down the steps. He has her hand in a tight grip on his hand as they descend. Her other hand is on the handrail.
"It's ok. Just don't do that again. You know why?"
"I might fall and hurt myself." The dad nods in response.
"That's right. And it will cause mom and me to worry about you a whole lot more. Promise me that you be extra careful? Ok?" The girl smiles as a response.
"Ok, dad." They reach the bottom to see the river in all its gloomy glory. The sound of pebbles being stepped on increases as the girl is let loose from her father's grip.
She prances and giggles about. This is one of the best moments in her life. She's dry when it's wet outside; her dad is alongside her though it would have been better with mom and big sister as well. Innocence, it's a rare concept these days but it is most prominent in children as they have yet to fully experience human life. Oh, the journey it will take a person. No journey is the same as all varies with different factors coming into play such as status in society, wealth, education, etc.
She runs down the concrete pathway and with her father closely following her. Stopping after a few seconds, she stares at the river to see the currents and raindrops. It's a golden experience for her to have in her memories.
But something catches her eye. Something black. It seems to be a huge lump and the current is carrying it horizontally. She points her finger.
"Dad, what's that?" The dad turns and his face drops. He sees the colored part of the black lump. Though she is too young to recognize it, he has. It's a body. Whether or not the person is alive depends on how long they've been in that position. Quickly, he takes off his jacket and the shirt under it. He pops off his shoes and socks and belt before turning towards his daughter.
"Stay here, honey." He bolts into the water and the water splashes around his thighs. Not before long, the water is to his stomach and he has his arms forward and together. He dives in and paddles towards the person. Left stroke, right stroke, left stroke, breath. He repeats this pattern until his fingers touch something. It's the person. Spinning them, he locks his left arm around the person and bear hugs them. With his other parts free; he swims back to shore as his little girl cheers him on.
"Go, dad, go!" Soon, he drags the person to the shore and he stands over them. It's a teenage girl, and she's badly wounded. Scratches all over her face and the exposed skin. It looks like this girl has been through hell. Her shirt and pants are torn, showing off some skin. Two of his fingers go straight for her neck to check for a pulse and two other fingers go for the pulse found near her hands.
*Bump, bump, bump, bump*
He opens her mouth and rears his head near it. He hears a slow breathing. No water in the mouth. She's alive but a confused look appears on the dad's face. What happened to her? How long has she been in? Was this some sort of hit and to have evidence? Shit, is someone watching us? He breaks off the chain of-thoughts to scan his surrounding area. Every tree, branch, corner, everything but no one else is here.
"Sweetheart, grab my stuff, we have to leave."
"But why, can't we just call an ambulance?" But her dad shocks his head.
"Sweetheart, don't question me. Now, we have to leave." All the daughter can do is nod and crotch down. She picks his jacket and shirt and belt while the dad is putting on his socks and shoes. The dad carries the unconscious girl up the staircase, following his daughter. They bolt down the beaten path and reach their dark green mini-van.
The dad reaches into his pocket and pulls out his keys. He clicks on a button and some red light flashes and flicker. He presses it again, and all the doors unlock. The daughter runs over and grabs the handle of a door and pulls it. It slides open as she lets go and inside in the middle and the back are three leather seats. The dad rushes forward to the open side of the car and he lays the girl on the three seats in the middle. His daughter sits in the middle seat in the middle but close to the edge and the dad closes the door by pulling it and releasing. The door closes and he runs to the other side. He gets into the driver's seat and slams the door.
He pops his keys into the ignition, and the car roars to life. He seatbelts before looking back to see his daughter following the same motion he did. Grabbing the stick, he shifts to R and presses on the brakes. The car reverses and creates an arc before stopping. Grabbing the stick again, the R changes to D, and the car accelerates. The water in the tires flails in a circle as the dad speeds off and takes a right and then a left to get out of the driveway.
*Few minutes in the drive*
"Dad, why didn't you call an ambulance?" He glances at the rear view mirror to see his daughter waddling her feet.
"It- it didn't seem like she needed that type of help. And besides, I can treat her so that way, she doesn't have to pay at the hospital. No one likes to pay bills when they wake up, right, honey?"
"Yeah…" He smiles and she smiles back.
And that's a wrap for Chapter 2. Now for the questions you're most likely going to ask and I will have an answer.
Now, wait just a minute. It wasn't just oh; let me write you to use this new power but rather it was an internal conflict within me to give her Ultra Instinct. As I was envisioning and writing the fight out, I just kept coming back to her going into that state but I wanted other solutions such as the last attempt before she passes out, she cuts his fingers and the Time Ring. The Time Ring explodes consuming Zuce as Zamasu jumps back and reels in pain. The fight scene between her and Zamasu went through so many edits that I have a folder full of drafts. Hence why I decided to roll with the Ultra Instinct but even then I explained myself with the "experience is necessary" and "there is no god (referring to me, the writer) that can do that." That paragraph is my explanation. She has been training with Whis after I would put it almost a year. That's why in the last chapter, the only thing he criticized her on was to stop thinking to move. While Goku and the crew are off on their adventures, being a Time Patroller is a necessary job that requires strength, endurance, thinking, and other essential parts. I can say that having a god training you for months on end without rest means that you're going to be a challenge to fight but you shouldn't get cocky.
I am not going to spoil my story as to when the fateful encounter will happen. Writers need to set a baseline, a foundation, of their worlds and characters. This story is set after DB Xenoverse 2 and several months after the ending. I'm not willing to write skyscrapers worth of exposition but rather have little bits just to keep you informed. I'm more of a show, don't tell type of guy. And I'm not going to have 1 character explain everything such as
Person asks, "What's a Saiyan?"
Another person answers, "Saiyans are a race from the planet Vegeta. We thrived off of battle and we loved to destroy worlds and get stronger. We were the strongest of all the races and could destroy worlds easily. Our age came at a fast pace with a few key technology advancements such as battle armor, healing chamber, space pods that allow us to go anywhere, etc. We followed orders from Frieza, our commander, as he lead our race to be the most feared. But soon our planet was destroyed by a meteor and there were a few of us left. Once a proud and prideful race, we were reduced to near extinction. But as it turns out, Frieza was the one to destroy Vegeta as he feared the legend of the Super Saiyan. The legend of the Super Saiyan has it that a Saiyan will one day have the power to rule all over the planets as their powers are limitless. Well, Frieza was defeated by a Super Saiyan years after the planet's destruction by a Saiyan named Goku…"
Or, Person asks, "Who is that?"
"That's Superman! He's the nicest person in the world. He has saved us multiple times from dangers from the earth such as when we got invaded and…."
You know what that brings out of me? *Snoring sounds* Yeah, I want to avoid this dialogue as expositions. You guys have seen the show and probably played the game to know that you don't need to be told once more. As I read some other people's work on this site, I get bogged down and skip the heavy expo scene and ultimately stop reading the story.
Yes, I have Jojo references, one of which was purely by accident as I was doing it as a dad joke. Actually, both were by accident as I was trying to see what Zamasu's last words would be beside screaming at his death.
Date 3/27/18
