Chapter 44: Ending Buu, The Masked Saiyan Appears, and Beerus Gets Angry
(Opening Theme: Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace)
Pearl woke up and stretched out, sensing Kenshiro was already awake. Pearl felt energized, powerful, more than she ever felt before. Kenshiro was one of the strongest, if not the strongest, Time Patrollers out now, and she had managed to defeat him while wearing her heavy weighted clothes, the clothes that Ryo sent her that grew heavier the higher her Power Level grew. She could only imagine how many tons were weighing her down, and yet she barely felt it. She knew that she could take on anyone then, she felt like she could take on anyone. The Majin girl looked through her clothes and decided on putting on a black gi with grey belt, shoes, and armbands before taking fifteen minutes to stretch herself out, contorting her body in ways no one with a spine or bones could, before going to the apartment's Living Room. Kenshiro and Barit had made a lot of simple rice with eggs and tea to wash it down.
The three of them all sat down to eat, and Pearl told them, "I have a good feeling about today. I feel like I can take on anyone, and I can win. Even Beerus the Destroyer." Kenshiro smiled at that and Barit said, "I doubt you can handle Beerus, but the rest, sure. Maybe anyone short of Beerus." "No, I mean it, I've never felt this feeling before," Pearl told him, as her silver Potential Unleashed ki aura started to shine around her. "I know that I've reached new heights of power I never dreamed I would, but now, I really feel it, the power, the confidence, the…knowledge that I can win," she said. Barit said, "Sounds like hubris. I'm not saying that you're not strong, Pearl, Kenshiro told me how you beat him, while wearing those weighted clothes, but remember the old saying, 'There's always someone better out there.' I just don't want you to think you're better than you actually are and end up getting hurt because of it."
Pearl nodded, "I understand. Thank you." After cleaning up, Pearl, Kenshiro, and Barit headed out, and Pearl decided to buy a new Scouter and some Healing Capsules. After buying them, she focused her Majin Magic and bonded the Scouter and her glasses to make new Scouter Glasses, only these ones had clear lenses instead of colored like her old ones. No sooner did she put on her new Scouter Glasses then she heard Elder Kai, "Recruit, we need you in the Time Vault, now." "I got it, I'm on my way!" Pearl said. "Can we come?" Barit asked. "Uh…sure," Pearl said, and the three of them flew into the Time Nest and ran straight for the Time Vault. The Supreme Kai of Time looked at the three of them and said, "So, Kenshiro, Barit, I see you want to see Pearl in action." "Please, Supreme Kai of Time-sama," Kenshiro and Barit both said, bowing to her. "Alright, but don't touch anything! And I mean it! You can watch Pearl, but you can't go in yourselves, that will risk changing the Timeline, understood?" "Yes ma'am!" Kenshiro and Barit both said, standing up straight.
"Anyway, Pearl, you should know that Trunks won't be going on any missions for a while. Trunks is resting now. His wounds are healed, but he exhausted himself, so he's still unconscious," the Supreme Kai of Time told Pearl. "Whoa…" Barit commented. "That fight against Janemba was something else," Elder Kai said, "Well, as long as everyone is still alive… Sorry, but I'm afraid this means that we'll need you to take care of our case of historical hiccups." The Supreme Kai of Time nodded, "Things aren't quite back to normal yet. It seems that Majin Buu has lost all self-control and he has become a living embodiment of pure evil." "This should be the last battle for now," Elder Kai said, "Do your best out there!" "I'm ready for anything!" Pearl confidently said as she took the Scroll and in a flash of light, she was gone.

Goku and Vegeta were on the Sacred Land of the Kai's, battling against Majin Buu's Final and True Form, Kid Buu. Goku quickly backed away and raised his hands to summon a Spirit Bomb, while Vegeta stood between Goku and Kid Buu. Pearl appeared beside Vegeta, and she and Vegeta got ready to fight. "W-Wait. Weren't you just…? How did YOU get here?" Vegeta asked when he saw Pearl. "Instant Transmission," Pearl told him, and looked at Kid Buu. Kid Buu had the evil aura of Towa and Mira around him and was giggling at them sadisitically. Whoa…for some reason I imagined Kid Buu as looking a little…cuter, but, he's creepy, like Chucky crossed with Children of the Corn and The Thing. "Listen!" Vegeta told Pearl, "If you're here, it means you're willing ot fight! We need time, give me a hand. Don't mess this up." "Got it," Pearl said as Vegeta powered up to Super Vegeta 2 and they both went at Kid Buu. Kid Buu blocked and dodged all their punches and kicks with his elastic body and threw his own counter attacks.
Pearl however was able to block every blow sent her way, but Vegeta took some hard hits before being kicked into a mountain. Pearl turned to Vegeta and said, "Vegeta, I'll handle this, you get the Earthlings to help Goku create the Spirit Bomb!" "Alright," Vegeta said as Pearl and Kid Buu blasted ki balls at each other. Pearl avoided all his, while three of hers exploded on Kid Buu, making him scream in frustration. Pearl ignored his screams as Kid Buu and her clashed. She used her greater height to land more blows on Kid Buu, and finished by knocking him back with Ill Flash. Vegeta meanwhile declared through King Kai, "People of Earth, listen to me! There's a warrior fighting Majin Buu at this very moment. But we need your help! Everyone, join forces to defeat Majin Buu! Raise your hands, and share your energy with this warrior!" Pearl focused and her Potential Unleashed aura came out just as Kid Buu managed to hit her with a Teleporting Vanishing Ball. The attack hurt, but Pearl wasn't out of the game as she quickly kicked and punched Kid Buu's body before grabbing his neck in a head lock and squeezing tightly.
Meanwhile, Goku pleaded with the people of Earth, "Everyone! Please! I need you to share as much of your energy as possible with me!" Kid Buu used Angry Shout to get Pearl off of him, and tried a Majin Kamehameha, but Pearl avoided it and hit him with her own Vanishing Ball, knocking Kid Buu back. Pearl powered up a Super Kamehameha, and then Instant Transmitted right behind Kid Buu. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Pearl yelled as she unleashed the attack, but Kid Buu used his rubbery body to his advantage, and the Kamehameha passed through a hole he made in his body. "Hey, we're going to need a lot more if we want to beat Buu!" Goku said, Pearl looked and saw the Spirit Bomb was nowhere near powerful enough yet to hurt Kid Buu. Kid Buu saw his chance and kicked Pearl in the face and then grabbed her ankle to fly down and slam her into the ground. Pearl kicked Kid Buu's own face hard with an instep kick, and then pulled it back into a heel-hook kick that turned his head 180 degrees, making him let her go. "I know that!" Vegeta said, "The problem is, no one is trusting me for some reason! Damn it Earthlings! Hurry up and help!"
"Why?! Why isn't everyone listening?!" Goku asked. Pearl rushed Kid Buu and slammed a Vanishing Ball into his body, making it explode. But the pieces of Kid Buu only reformed together as he smiled at Pearl and made a 'come hither' motion with his finger, telling her he wanted more. Pearl summoned all her power as the ground beneath her cracked, and boulders floated around her before she flew at Kid Buu and slammed her knee into his face, then grabbed his one tentacle and tossed him into the river of the Kai's World and finished with a Special Beam Cannon that passed through Kid Buu's head, and the rest fo the planet as well. Suddenly, Pearl heard a voice yell, "What are you all waiting for! Come on people! Hurry up and help!"
"Hercule!?" Goku and Pearl both said in surprise, she had completely forgotten that he was present. "Are you all going to refuse me, Hercule!? I'm the one fighting Majin Buu now! Hurry up and lend me your power!" "Hercule…" Goku said in surprise. Hercule looked at Goku and said, "Well, it can't be helped… This had to be said to gain their trust." Pearl looked and saw the Spirit Bomb grow to a size she would never have imagined possible. "It…It's here!" Goku said. Pearl quickly grabbed Kid Buu and held him in place. "Get away! Get away!" Goku told Pearl, and she quickly let go of Kid Buu and flew ot a safe distance, "Let's go! Take this!" Goku said as he threw the Spirit Bomb at Kid Buu. Kid Buu caught the attack and fought against it, starting to push it back, but Goku then went Super Saiyan, revived by another wish with the Dragon Balls as he forced the Spirit Bomb into Kid Buu. Kid Buu could only scream as the attack started to work on him. "I hope you're reborn as someone good this time," Goku said, then threw a small salute, "See ya!" The Spirit Bomb enveloped Kid Buu and with one last scream, he was destroyed by the combined power of the whole Earth.
Goku and Vegeta all sat down and Hercule was with them, while Pearl backed away to not disturb them. Through her Scouter Glasses she heard Elder Kai tell her, "Whew! We can breathe easier for a bit. Hurry on back, Trunks has just regained consciousness." "Right," Pearl said. "HOLD ON!" the voice of Trunks said, "I saw something… in Hell! Mira had an ally other than Janemba with him!" "What are you saying?" The Supreme Kai of Time asked. "Their goal has been to collect Damage Energy from all the battles we've had so far," Trunks explained, "That means that they're probably gathering up Damage Energy right now!" "Someone's stil here!" Pearl realized and looked around. She quickly saw him trying to escape, a Saiyan in black armor and wearing a white mask with Mira and Towa's symbol on it. Pearl quickly ran at the Masked Saiyan, but before she could grab him, the were teleported to somewhere else.
AGE: 778
Goku and Beerus's battle was over, it was an immense battle that shook the very Universe, however, it was now over, and Goku was beaten. Beerus looked at Goku and said, "While fighting as a God, you, somehow absorbed its power. Very impressive. Truly a rare talent-" The Masked Saiyan and Pearl teleported right in front of Beerus. The God of Destruction saw them and angrily yelled, "We're having a conversation here!" "I'm sorry, Beerus-sama!" Pearl said before she and the Masked Saiyan separated. The Masked Saiyan looked at Pearl, and then charged at her. "Th-There's Mira's ally!" Trunks said from the Time Vault, "Let's capture him and find out where his masters are hiding!" Pearl blocked the Masked Saiyan's shockingly powerful punch and kicked him back before trying a Vanishing Ball. The Masked Saiyan deflected the attack and blasted ki balls at Pearl. She quickly deflected them while Elder Kai said, "WHOA WHOA WHOA! Hold up there! You've just leaped into a very wild Age! The person that Goku was fighting…is Beerus, the God of Destruction!"
"This is so strange," Goku said, "What in the world is going on? That guy in the mask seems familiar." Pearl looked at Goku, and then the Masked Saiyan and saw they had the same hairstyle. "No way, I think I know who you are," Pearl said to the Masked Saiyan as Beerus said, "It's very rude to barge in like that… Maybe I should destroy you." Pearl looked at Beerus and quickly said, "Forgive me Beerus-sama for bothering you! I promise once I have this handled, I'll be out of your Lordship's way!" "H-Hold off on that please!" The Supreme Kai of Time contacted Beerus. "Hmmm?" Beerus said, "And you are?" "I-It's been a while, Beerus-sama. It's me, the Supreme Kai of Time," the Supreme Kai of Time said, as Pearl barely blocked an elbow from the Masked Saiyan and the two continued their fight. The Supreme Kai of Time explained to Beerus, "We're after some folks who are messing with space-time. Do you think you could spare a minute or two…" Pearl was knocked back by the Masked Saiyan who then grabbed her ankle and spun her around before tossing her to where she almost slammed into Goku, "…or three?"
"Oh, it's you…" Beerus said, "I don't know what you're going on about, but do make it quick." "Will do!" the Supreme Kai of Time said, then addressed Pearl, "You heard him! Now go and take care of business!" "Right!" Pearl said as she flew at the Masked Saiyan and landed a hard punch to his solar plexus, and then blasted him back with a point blank Ill Flash. Before he could recover, Pearl focused her power and launched a Special Beam Cannon at the Masked Saiyan. The Masked Saiyan barely dodged it, but the attack struck his mask, shattering a portion of it. The Masked Saiyan's face was exposed, Pearl and Trunks gasped. "I-I know that face!" Trunks said, then he and Pearl both said, "It's Bardock!"
Just then, Mira showed up and knocked Pearl back. "You've grown stronger. Now show me everything you've got!" Mira said as he charged at Pearl. Pearl barely had time to deflect Mira's punch, and then grabbed him and tossed him aside, quickly using a Healing Capsule to renew her energy. "Mira showed up too!" Trunks said, "Forget it! I'm going in there!" Mira charged up a Majin Kamehameha and it slammed into Pearl, knocking her back and almost into Beerus. Pearl stopped herself from hitting the God of Destruction and tossed two Vanishing Balls at Mira to distract him before she used Instant Transmission to get beside him and slam her elbow into his ribs. "Hold it!" Elder Kai told Trunks, "Just cool your jets! You're not allowed in this bit of History and you know it!" "Oh… Wow… Now there's another one. This must have you steamed, Beerus-sama." Beerus glared at Mira and Pearl and said, "I'm running short on patience."
Pearl and Mira threw punches and kicks at each other with wild abandon, landing blows on each other that threatened to kill, but still fighting as hard as they could, refusing to let up. Pearl and Mira blasted at each other with exploding ki balls that knocked each other back. "I'm running out of patience here!" Beerus yelled, "Listen up! I want all of you gone!" "Oh, be quiet!" Mira yelled back at Beerus, to Pearl's shock, "Just sit back and watch!" "Hm!?" Beerus said but was too stunned to yell back. "TH-That idiot!" Elder Kai screamed, "What is he doing!?" Beerus finally spoke, "You've got a pretty big mouth. Are you really picking a fight with a God of Destruction?" "Oh really?" Mira told Beerus, "I couldn't care less who you are. I came here for a fight, and I will have it!" Mira returned his attention to Pearl, and Pearl quickly powered up. They clashed again, but this time Pearl landed a hard knee to Mira's chin before slamming her fists on his head. Mira answered by blasting her with a Perfect Kamehameha Wave. Pearl fought through the pain enough to block his follow up punch and kicked him back before hitting him with Special Beam Cannon. The attack went straight through Mira and hit Beerus on his head!
Mira's wound healed, but Beerus's head was slightly singed. Beerus growled, "All right I've had enough of this! I can't take anymore. I've got half a mind to destroy you all right now!" "Oh no!" Pearl squealed as Beerus's powerful Godly Aura surrounded him as his anger grew. "N-Not like this!" Elder Kai screamed, "He'll destroy everything!" "STOP RIGHT THERE!" The Supreme Kai of Time yelled. "Supreme Kai of Time!?" Trunks said. "I'm sending in my surprise! Pearl, hand it over to Beerus-sama!" "Understood!" Pearl yelled, and then suddenly a box appeared in front of Pearl. Pearl looked, and saw it was full of pudding bottles, and spoons! Pearl flew to Lord Beerus and presented the box to him. "Oh my! It's pudding!" Beerus said, dispelling his aura immediately, "And a heaping helping of it too!" Beerus took the box of pudding with a large smile and the Supreme Kai of Time quickly said, "You promise not to destroy the Universe, and you can have all that pudding. Is it a deal?"
Beerus thought about this for a second and then smiled again, "Yes, alright!" The Supreme Kai of Time giggled happily that her plan had worked! "That's it, no more fighting now!" Beerus told everyone present, "It's Pudding Time!" Goku sheepishly flew over and said, "Hey, can I have one of those? I'm starved." "Help yourself," Beerus happily said, and Goku took one bottle of pudding. Beerus turned to Mira and the mind-controlled Bardock and said, "You want one too?" "NO!" Mira angrily yelled, "What a buzz-kill. We will finish this later." Mira and Bardock teleported away. Pearl was about to go after them, but then she heard Whis say, "Might I have one as well?" "Where were you this whole time!?" Pearl yelled in surprise. The Supreme Kai of Time however happily said, "I can always send some more if that isn't enough! That's why I made tons of it!" Whis stopped before he grabbed a pudding bottle just as Goku and Beerus swallowed their first spoonful and Pearl grabbed a bottle and spoon herself.
She then saw Goku and Beerus's faces, it looked like the face she'd seen men make when they'd just been kicked in the balls. "I'm sorry," Whis said, "Did you say that you made this?" "Yep! Sure did!" the Supreme Kai of Time happily said. "Uh oh…" Pearl said as she quickly put her pudding in her gi. "Augh! My…stomach! Can't…move!" "NYAAAGH!" Beerus screamed as he tossed his pudding into the void of space. Beerus's Godly Aura swirled around him as his face contorted to all new levels of anger. "Oh dear," Whis sighed, "He's quite upset now. Oh, this won't do at all." Whis turned to Pearl and said, "Your assistance is required." Pearl loudly gulped and used another Healing Capsule then powered up as much as she possibly could. Beerus glared at Pearl and yelled at the top of his lungs. Whis nonchalantly told Pearl, "The last time he was THIS angry, he extinguished two suns."
"GAH!" Pearl squeeled as she blocked Beerus's kick just in time, and then three punches. Every blow hurt to block, but Pearl managed it enough to see a chance to his Beerus with Ill Flash and get her some space. "Supreme Kai of Time, you're the cause of all this," Whis said, "Your cooking has driven Beerus-sama mad." "Oh. It's nothing, really," the Supreme Kai of Time happily said. "That isn't a compliment," Whis admonished. Pearl blasted Beerus with Vanishing Ball then quickly Instant Transmitted beside him, only for Beerus to flick her back. Beerus then swarmed her, slamming punches and kicks on Pearl from all angles. Pearl had no choice but to knock him back with Energy Field and kept it up as Beerus blasted ki balls at her. Oh man, I really gotta go at this as hard as I can, or he'll kill me! Pearl focused her power and flew at Beerus, landing a hard punch to his face before kneeing him in his stomach. To her surprise, the attacks hurt him, but not for long as Beerus quickly got behind her and grabbed her in a chokehold. "This is payback," Beerus said as he let her go and then kicked her hard, straight to the moon!
Pearl got up and used Instant Transmission to get back to Earth, then hit Beerus with a Super Kamehameha before he could stop her. Beerus was still standing, but the attack left him winded, slightly. Pearl pressed her advantage and threw three punches into Beerus's body, before he slammed his fists into her head, knocking her down. Beerus flew ahead of her, and Pearl stopped right before his follow up kick landed before she hit him with Vanishing Ball. "Oh my, you are quite capable, aren't you?" Whis said. "Well, I try, and being a Majin helps," Pearl said before blocking a kick from Beerus. As she and Beerus fought, Whis told her, "Do not be so humble. Simply being a Majin would not create such incredible strength. Looking for work? You could be the next God of Destruction." Pearl and Beerus separated and he summoned a Sphere of Destruction, tossing it at Pearl. Pearl focused and blasted with Sphere of Destrection with a Special Beam Cannon before it could hit, blowing it up.
"No more of that!" the Supreme Kai of Time told Whis, "We can't just have you waltzing in her and stealing our personnel!" Whis smiled and said, "What a pity." Pearl and Beerus flew at each other at top speed and landed hard punches straight to each other's faces, the shockwave was felt for lightyears all around. Pearl spat out blood and Beerus looked tired at last. "Whew…" Beerus said, his anger finally tapped out. Pearl's head drooped, and she said, "Thank goodness it's over…" "You appear to have relxed, Beerus-sama," Whis noted. "Yeah…" Goku said, "And my stomach cramps are finally gone too." "I'm sorry Beerus-sama," the Supreme Kai of Time said, "I could make an extra-special lunch for you as an apology." "DON'T YOU DARE!" Beerus yelled at the Supreme Kai of Time, "Are you trying to kill me!? I'll have no more of your cooking."
"Whoa," Pearl said, The Supreme Kai of Time's cooking is on a whole other level of bad. She pulled out her pudding, it was remarkably still intact, and wondered if she really wanted to try it or not. "All of this has worn me out," Beerus said, "Let's go home, Whis." "Yes, My Lord," Whis said. Beerus held on to Whis's shoulder, and in a beam of light, they left. Pearl bowed to them, and Goku said, "Thank goodness! It looks like the Earth didn't get destroyed after all!" The Saiyan looked to Pearl and smiled, "I'm not sure why you're here, but thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it!" "Always glad to help," Pearl told him, then pulled out her Scroll and returned to Conton City in a flash of light.
AGE: 852
"Pearl!" Barit and Kenshiro both hugged her and quickly said, "That was amazing! You went toe to toe with Beerus and won!" "You really are that powerful!" Barit yelled, "I never should have doubted you!" "Great work out there!" Trunks said, getting Pearl's attention as Barit and Kenshiro let her go, "We were really on the brink of disaster today." "I didn't expect to see Beerus-sama. We really cut that one close," the Supreme Kai of Time said. "Thanks to someone's cooking…" Elder Kai ribbed her. The Supreme Kai of Time angrily said, "Come on! It wasn't that bad! Things might've gone a lot worse without my pudding!" "Still…Mira and the Masked Saiyan, Bardock, both got away in the end," Trunks pointed out. "Yeah," the Supreme Kai of Time agreed.
"Man, our enemies just keep getting stronger and stronger," Pearl said. "They'll definitely try something different now that we've seen them at work," Elder Kai stated, "But what will they try this time?" "I'm not sure," the Supreme Kai of Time said, then turned to Pearl, "But I do know that you need a nice long rest. Take a few days off, you've earned them after dealing with Beerus." "Thank you so much," Pearl said, and left the Time Nest with Kenshiro and Barit. "Oh boy, I'm starving," Pearl said, "Fighting Kid Buu, then Bardock, Mira, and Beerus…really takes a lot out of ya." "What do you feel like?" Kenshiro asked her. "Something simple, just a very big burger with lots of fries and a soda," Pearl admitted. "Let's go then," Barit said, and they headed for the burger joint. Pearl's burger was a whole pound, with caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese, and they bought a large box of fries to split.
Pearl practically wolfed down her food, she couldn't believe it, she really couldn't believe that she, Pearl, a skinny geek girl who had struggled against the likes of Slug and Turles, actually fought and survived against Beerus the Destroyer! Even now, her body still covered in the bruises from the fight, it felt like a dream. Pearl finished her burger and looked at her hands. These hands that were now powerful enough to hurt a God of Destruction. She looked up at Kenshiro, who smiled back at her. He had always believed in her, believed that she could do this amazing thing. The three of them finished their lunch and paid, as they left, Pearl wrapped Kenshiro in a hug, "Kenny…I want you to take me home. Tear my clothes off and see what happens from there." Kenshiro looked at her and pulled her into a passionate kiss before they flew back to their apartment, leaving Barit behind to sigh, "I'm not going back for a few hours…"
Kenshiro and Pearl reached their apartment and Pearl nearly tackled him inside, kissing him all over his face before kicking their door closed. Kenshiro tore her gi off of her and kissed down Pearl's neck and chest as she moved down to tear his own shirt off. Pearl felt up and down his powerful muscles, muscles strong enough to reduce mountains to pebbles, as he got up and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he suddenly bit her neck. Pearl moaned and told him, "Do that again!" He bit her neck again and pleasure soared through her body as he carried her back to their room and they fell on their bed. Pearl got on top of Kenshiro and pulled his pants and underwear down while he helped her ger her own off.
She slid on top and felt his hard member enter her. Pearl moaned as he filled her, it had been too long, weeks, since they had been like this. Kenshiro grabbed her hips as she rolled them over his member and he helped her go up and down. They made love for hours, moving in perfect synch, covering each other's bodies in kisses and loving bites the whole time, neither one of them tiring, for too long they had gone without one another, and they were determined to make up for lost time while they could. By the time their stamina finally ran out, Kenshiro was on top of her as he finally came for what felt like the tenth time for him, and the hundredth time for her. They both sighed contentedly as Kenshiro laid down beside her, and Pearl rested her head on his broad chest. Pearl kissed him for what had to hae been the thousandth time and finally fell asleep. For the first time in a long time, everything felt right for her.
Unkown Dimension
Yuu arrived, with an army in Saiyan armor behind him, all their eyes glowing. He smiled at Shadlyn and told her, "I found a universe where the Saiyan's weren't wiped out. Decided they could be useful for us." "Finally," Shadlyn said, "Now, we are ready. Tomorrow, Conton City falls."
