Universe 10's Surprise Fighter! Return of the Almighty God...
"Universe Ten's Leader... Behold, Goku Black!"
"And his ally, and true self, Zamasu!"
The Grand Priest's voice rang out, as he tapped his staff on the ground. He spoke the rest of the names, off the list, for Universe 10, but the group that was Universe 7, did not pay attention, as their eyes solely rested on two individuals... Hugging.
"Soon..." Goku Black muttered, as he was embraced with Zamasu, the two having their eyes closed, deeply hugging.
"Now! Fighters, here are the rules..." The Grand Priest heightened his voice, to get the attention of everyone.
"I will not repeat this... For the Preliminary Round, the rules are as follows:
"Teams of 20 shall face off against each other, to entertain Zeno, and if they either knock off or kill enough opponents that the other team does not have any eligible contestants left, they win. Yes, killing is allowed. In fact, if anyone dies, their soul shall fade from existence, as if it were erased by Zeno himself. In the World of the Void, there is no Otherworld... Only oblivion. This realm has made it so flight is not able to be done when outside the boundary of the stage, so if you choose to fly, be careful, and watch where you are going. When falling, you'll fall forever... Except when you hit a certain point, then you'll be teleported back to the stands. I will not explain this again."
"The first round! Universe 10 Versus 11! The Tournament begins... Now!" He announced.
It went from zero to one hundred. Instantaneously. Universe 10 seemed to almost forcefully rush 11, only to be met with the hardest of defenses.
"Stop! In the name of Justice!" A man, who looked human, and had a strange thing over his eye, as well as a microphone headset... He looked like a dude with a robot eye about to hop on some Xbox live with his buddies, while at the same time looking like an old general.
Zamasu, Black, and Obuni stopped, the three key players of their team. The team stopped behind them. Universe 11, which strangely only had 12 fighters, were standing together.
"Now! We are the Pride Troopers!" The man with the eye announced with an overly proud yell.
"I am Kahseral! The Blade of Justice!" He activated a blade of yellow energy from his hand, and lifted it in the sky.
In the stands, Universe 7 watched on with... Less than enthusiastic attitudes.
"Why does this guy look like he's about to call up his war buddies to hop on Call of Duty?" Janemba teased, as he watched on with the rest of his universe.
"I am Kettol! The Rain of Justice!" Another member of Universe 11's team, one that looked like a fish man, who posed with his fists clenched at his sides, knees bent, as many energy orbs began to suddenly surround him.
"Fish-man from Hotel Transylvania looking ass..." Janemba muttered.
"I am Zoiray! The Tornado of Justice!" A small, horned demon looking member of the team, maybe up to the rest of the teams knees, yelled louder than the two before him, his voice high pitched, like a screech.
"Holy shit, when did the Great God Beebo get here?" Janemba yelled, shocked.
"I am Kunshi! The Binds of Justice!" Another Pride Trooper, who was about the same size as Zoiray, who had a big blue head, and purple spots on the top of his bald skull, yelled, just like Zoiray.
"When did Beebo get a little ogre brother?" Janemba's making fun of the Pride Troopers continued.
"I am Vuon! The Lash of Justice!" A Dinosaur looking Pride Trooper spoke up, a proud member of his team, that wasn't short.
"... Oh great, its turning into Jurassic Park." Janemba spit over the size of railing, watching his saliva just fall... Fall... Fall... Not stopping...
"I am Tupper! The Weight of Justice!" A blue alien, with a mustache, posed with the Pride Troopers.
"... I can't even roast this guy, he's literally too stupid." Janemba scratched his head.
"Hey, can you shut up?" Beerus glared over at the Devil of Universe 7. Janemba ignored him.
"I am Coccote! The Magic of Justice!" A female alien, purple, with darker hair, posed, two bright lights shining in her hands.
"Ayyyy... She's a snack." Janemba licked his lips, while Freeza shook his head, looking at him, sitting next to him.
"I am Dyspo! The Legs of Justice!" An alien that looked awfully a lot like Beerus at first, kicked up his legs in the air, showing off immense speed.
"Hey Beerus, is that your son?" Janemba asked, making the God of Destruction for his universe growl, a low deep sound.
"Alright fine, jeez..." Janemba went back to looking at the Pride Troopers.
"I am Toppo! The Fist of Justice!" Toppo, with his huge mustache and body, posed with his fist in a punching position.
"YO! WHEN DID THE LORAX GET HERE!?" Janemba stood up, looking around. Nobody was paying attention to him.
"I am Kale... The Seed of Justice!" A young girl, a teenager, stood next to the big gray guy in the middle, posed with a martial artists defensive pose.
"Bruh... She can catch some seed, if you know what I-" Beerus put a muzzle on Janemba, having snuck up on the demon with a teenagers body.
"I am Rabanra... I'm no Pride Trooper... I'm no hero... In fact... I'm your worst nightmare!" Rabanra, an orange alien that looked somewhat similar to Freeza and Piccolo in body shape, stood on the other side of the final Pride Trooper...
"And I..." The one on the middle of the group, the obvious head of the team, put his fists on his hips, a classic hero pose...
"I am Jiren! The Ultimate Hero! And we are the Pride Troopers!" They all posed together, and fireworks... Just poofed behind them, all different colors...
"... Are you okay Gohan?" Piccolo looked over, to see Gohan holding onto his arm with one hand, sweating nervously.
"Yeah... Just having terrible... Terrible... Flashbacks..." The Half Saiyan muttered in response.
"Hey Freeza... Don't those remind you of the-" Goku turned to the Emperor, only to see him obviously annoyed.
"They remind us all of the Ginyu Force, you moronic monkey." Freeza sighed.
Back on the stage, Goku Black and Zamasu had stepped up to the Pride Troopers.
"Well... We can see who the strongest is, so we'll be purging him from existence, now..." Black chuckled, as he began to walk towards Jiren, with Zamasu behind him.
Toppo and Dyspo stepped in front of Jiren, blocking the two Universe 10 beings path.
"Hmmm?" Goku Black raised an eyebrow.
"You are far too weak for Jiren, we shall defeat you two. Pride Troopers! Scatter and take out the rest of Universe 10!" Toppo ordered. Every member of Universe 11's team then rushed to meet 10's forces... Except for the two about to fight Black and Zamasu, and Jiren, with his two companions by his side, Kale and Rabanra.
"Fine then... An appetizer to show off our power... That is acceptable." Goku Black chuckled, and then...
The battle began.
A Powerful 2 vs 2 match, Toppo and Dyspo, fighting the Gods of Universe 10, Goku Black and Zamasu.
Goku Black and Toppo's fists met, shockwaves blasting from their collision. Goku Black's hair instantly turned pink, as it rose and spiked up.
"... What is this? The mere impacts of your fists... Made my body go into Super Saiyan Rosé mode... This is... Surprising..." Black muttered.
Toppo just grunted, and slammed another fist in Black's direction, making the Kai with a Saiyan's body block, but even then, Black was still moved back by Toppo's strength.
With Black having small struggles with Toppo... One could physically see the anguish that Zamasu was suffering.
Dyspo was practically annihilating him, every kick resulted in a pitiful sound coming from the Supreme Kai, be it a whimper, or a bone breaking.
His feet slamming into Zamasu's ribs, Dyspo gave absolutely no mercy to the Supreme Kai in training, giving him no time to even think of attacking back.
Dyspo, true to his title, was a Bolt of Lightning with his legs, one that Zamasu found himself completely at the mercy of. And as stated before... The Pride Trooper gave him none.
With one drop kick into his chest, Zamasu was shot off, about to fall off the edge...
Black's hand grabbed onto Zamasu's Kai Clothes, as with his other hand, he held two fingers up to his forehead.
Then Goku Black used the Instant Transmission technique once again, and teleported them back in front of their enemies.
"Stay here, Zamasu." Goku Black said, as he put the Kai on the ground, the broken and bruised Zamasu unable to respond, as he barely held onto consciousness.
"You think you can take us both?" Dyspo taunted, as Black began to walk forward, towards them.
"I... I am Goku Black..." Black began speaking... Extending his hand out to the side...
"And I... I am the Reaper of all you ningen filth... I am the Grim Reaper of Divinity!" Goku Black smiled wickedly, as a scythe of pure energy, pink, formed in his hand.
"Now die, mortals!" Goku Black rushed forward, slashing with his energy weapon...
-
Jiren, Kale, and Rabanra were watching as Goku Black attacked...
When suddenly, a kick was delivered, right to the back of the head of Jiren. It was some sort of energy hologram... Of Obuni.
Jiren did not seem effected in even the slightest way. He turned around.
Obuni was standing there, with many different colored versions of himself by his side.
The one that kicked Jiren jumped back to stand with the group.
"... You'd actually think you could successfully land a surprise attack on me?" Jiren asked.
Obuni scoffed, but did not reply.
"Jiren, honey... Please, let me handle this." Rabanra stepped forward, a sadistic smile forming on his face.
Rabanra began walking forward... To fight Obuni...
"No. I will fight him. Kale, jump in if Toppo or Dyspo need help." Jiren said. Rabanra looked at him confused.
"You'd... You'd give the honor of fighting you, to this maggot?" Rabanra asked.
"I did not want to participate in this tournament... But to protect the peace of Universe 11... I must come forward. Even if it means setting my own morals aside..." Jiren closed his eyes, his expression of pain and regret.
Rabanra just sighed, and shook his head, and he and Kale turned to continue watching Toppo and Dyspo...
And Jiren stepped forward, Obuni intensifying his stance, his clones doing the same.
"... I do not want this... So I will offer you, and the rest of your team... Join Universe 11. Please." Jiren begged, as he stood before Obuni.
Obuni sighed and shook his head.
"I wish I could... But I can't... I have to fight you." Obuni then snapped forward, charging at Jiren, all his clones doing the same...
Each attack that landed... Did absolutely nothing. And since Jiren just stood there... Obuni did not miss a single blow.
Jiren looked at him with disappointment.
"... Please. I do not wish for all this... All this death." Jiren begged, pleaded with Obuni.
Obuni kept throwing punches and kicks, the impacts doing nothing, but he still tried...
"Sometimes... Good men... Have to do bad things..." Obuni muttered.
-
Goku Black rolled on the ground, blood spilling from his mouth, over to Zamasu.
"They... They're over taxing... My healing..." Black spat out more blood, as he crawled over to Zamasu.
"It doesn't matter..." Zamasu muttered. Black looked at him.
"We will surpass all... Together." Zamasu smiled up at himself... The self within the body of Son Goku.
"Together..." Black returned the expression...
The two stood up... In unison. They looked at their opponents... Two Pride Troopers.
"TOGETHER!" They screamed in unison, as they charged...
Switching foes, Goku Black rushed a tackle into Dyspo, crashing into the stage's ground. Zamasu then delivered a kick to Toppo's skull, as from the rubble of the tackle, Dyspo came crashing into Toppo.
Taken aback, the Pride Troopers were left wide open. Zamasu and Goku Black slammed their fists into their opponents, back and forth, back and forth, sandwiching them between a flurry of fists.
Twisting and turning, the two divine beings turned the tide of the battle...
Or so they thought.
A fist suddenly shot into Black's cheek, sending the poor Saiyan far, seemingly tumbling off the edge of the stage.
"No! Zamasu!" Zamasu screamed out, reaching as if to save a being who was already gone... And then gasping in pain, his breathing stopping. A foot was deep in his gut.
Kale, another Pride Trooper, had knocked Goku Black out, and had her foot embedded into Zamasu's gut.
"You..." Zamasu turned to her, his eyes widening in shock. He stumbled, holding his gut, to the ground.
"I am Kale... And you will not treat my teammates like that." She growled.
"... You... You're... One of them... Aren't you!?" Zamasu glared at her, the blood in his eyes pulsing.
"I can see it! You're a Saiyan!" Zamasu screeched.
"Zamasu!" Both Kale and Zamasu turned to the side, to see Goku Black climbing up from the edge of the stage.
"Pull it out..." The evil Goku ordered.
Zamasu began laughing, and pulled from his pocket... A potara earring. Goku Black did the same...
"What are those things?" Kale demanded.
The two ignored her, and put them on... And began to fly towards each other, pulled by a mystical force...
And then they collided, their arms wrapping one another... In a warm embrace...
A blinding light exploded, and rose, up the sky... The World of the Void began to tremble a bit... Before calming down.
And in the place of two...
Was one.
"Kami ga kuru."
The fusion spoke in the ancient and almighty tongue of the Gods.
"Shibito... Kenshi saru junbi o suru." Fused Zamasu smiled, softly and gently.
Kale raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm... Fusion? And you speak divine? Hehehe. This ought to be fun." She smirked, and cracked her neck.
Fused Zamasu frowned, and then raised his hand, a fiery ball of energy forming... Which he tossed down to Kale.
Kale just scoffed as it flew at her... And she punched it back.
Zamasu's eyes lit up with shock, as his own attack crashed into him, and blew up in his face... Literally.
Kale then rushed forward, flying up to Fused Zamasu and aiming a quick jab to his chin, as he recovered.
Zamasu flipped backwards, and began to shoot out red blades of energy at Kale, as well as Lightning Bolts. Each attack, the female dodged, weaving and waving, twisting and turning.
Zamasu's frustration grew, and it was obvious. He began screaming incoherently.
"Chodo anata no yogore o shinu!" Fused Zamasu then rushed forward to melee Kale, only to be kicked on the top of the skull, and sent crashing into the stage...
Over in the stands, where Universe 7 sat, Goku and Vegeta looked at each other.
"She's... Dominating him. It isn't even fair." Goku said. Vegeta nodded.
"And we had to fuse to beat him... Maybe our training caught us up, but even I doubt..." Vegeta trailed off.
Then the voice of Cell confirmed their fears aloud.
"And she's doing this all in her base form."
Back at the battle, Kale sighed, as she began to fly down, when a burst of energy erupted from the spot Zamasu had crashed into, and hit her point blank.
"Anata wa kami o chōetsu suru koto wa dekimasen!"
"NINGEN!" Zamasu roared, half of his face, and his body now an ugly terrifying purple, as he stood out of the rubble...
"ANATA WA KAMI NO OKOKORO NI YOTTE SHINUDESHOU!" He screamed, his language divine.
"Omae wa mou..."
Kale's voice boomed... Speaking the same language as the gods...
Zamasu looked up, searching for her...
"Shinderu."
Then he looked down... And saw Kale, standing before him, her fist drawn back, energy surrounding it.
"NANI!?"
Zamasu could only get out one word, as he was punched in the gut, energy exploding, and completely enveloping the area around them...
"Dang. I had to use my Blast Fist technique... He was pretty strong..." Kale walked out the smoke, with only a few scratches and wrinkled clothes to show any form of struggle.
"Thanks for the assist, Kale." Dyspo smiled at her as she walked up to them. Toppo smiled as well.
"Yes, we let them get the better of us... We're glad you were there to help." Toppo pat her on the shoulder.
"Zamasu and Goku Black... Have been killed, and so... Their souls have faded from existence. They are no more." The Grand Priest announced.
Universe 7 was left baffled, watching as a young Kale, and her two comrades walked over to Rabanra... And to see the fight Jiren was in.
-
Obuni was hitting Jiren, without any clones, just one arm, punching him in the gut... But his fist bounced off Jiren's stomach like it was indestructible.
Obuni stepped back, panting. Jiren sighed.
"Please... Just join my universe. You would be welcomed warm-" Obuni interrupted the Hero.
"You know what?" Obuni looked up at him, and began to laugh.
"You... You're going to win this entire tournament. I have no doubt in my mind." Obuni smiled and nodded at Jiren.
Jiren tilted his head, confused.
"I'm going to be erased... Every universe will be." Obuni sighed, and closed his eyes... Looking down.
"But you have to live with it."
Jiren's eyes widened, in shock... And then anger. His expression morphed from pity, to absolute rage, and in less than a split second, his fist had connected with Obuni... And created such a shockwave, it tore apart the stage around it.
Obuni's body tore apart, and flew off the stage's edge... But he had died long before he ever reached the stadiums stands.
Something fell on the ground. Jiren looked down at it...
"And that was it! Obuni, Universe 10's final fighter, is out! Universe 11 will now be erased." The Grand Priest told all twelve universes present.
Jiren took a deep breath, and regained himself... And he watched... As Obuni's locket, which had fallen on the ground as Jiren killed him... Showed Obuni, his wife... And his daughter... The gold locket, which Obuni had brought with him to give him strength...
Was erased by the Omni King.
"... Toppo... When this tournament is over..." Jiren did not turn around as he spoke... But he knew Toppo could hear him.
"I'm going to make you pay." He let out a breath, and sighed, putting his fists on his hips...
"Universe 11 are the winners! Now, please leave the stage... For two new universes will fight! Universe 9, and Universe 3! Then after them... Universe 6 and 4! And then the final match of the preliminaries... Universe 7 vs 2!" The Grand Priest smiled down from Zeno's palace... As every mortal in attendance cowered in fear... Questioning... Which of them... Would be the next to be erased... In the game of the two Omni Kings...
And all the while... Jiren was disappointed... Not with his team... Or even with the Gods... But with himself.
-
Next time... On the Tournament of Power Remade...
Two Battles! 3 And 9, As Well As 6 And 4!
