Dystopicles faced his three angelic adversaries. The very sky and ground shook from the mere pressence of the four on the world.
Dystopicles laughed, his dark face twisting into a sinister grin.
"I guess its just you now. Everyone else is either dead..or has abandoned this fight." Dystopicles said.
"I think you count out the saiyans too soon monster." Armael, the angel in white armor said.
Just when Dystopicles was going to respond, the mountain behind him exploded outwards to reveal Krysis, his hair now spiky and a mix of red and gold, an angry aura surrounding his small body.
"You don't make me angry...it is the last thing you want to do." Krysis yelled before flying straight at Dystopicles.
"Mortal foolishness." Dystopicles said as Krysis came at him like a comet.
Slamming the devil king with hundreds of punches within the span of less than a minute, it seemed as though Krysis had Dystopicles on the ropes, but a sudden yell and explosion of dark power forced Krysis away from his opponent in short order.
Krysis had a rage-filled look in his eyes. He had just lost his family, and he knew he was in danger of losing his life as well. Together it fueled him, but would that be enough?
Pointing his right palm at Dystopicles, Krysis fired a colossal beam of crimson energy at the devil king. Krysis' attack engulfed his opponent, but when the smoke cleared shortly afterwards, Dystopicles was still standing, as though no attack had struck him at all.
"Impossible." Krysis said in surprise.
"No, what is impossible is me being defeated by the likes of you." Dystopicles said, pointing his scythe at Krysis and firing a black skull-shaped energy blast composed of pure evil darkness.
Krysis once again fired his own attack, a scarlet-hued beam of energy from his right hand, but to his horror Dystopicles attack overpowered his in seconds. Krysis let out one final scream before the smoke cleared and only ashes were left behind.
Armael and the other two seraphs were angry.
"You will pay for all the lives you have taken monster!" Armael, the white winged knight Seraph yelled.
Dystopicles turned around before answering.
"Boldly stated. But if you really wanted to stop me from killing him, you would have intervened instead of watching and doing nothing." Dystopicles said, a twisted smile appearing on his dark face once again.
The three then attacked Dystopicles together, all three of their sacred swords in hand.
Despite the overwhelming power of the three, Dystopicles held his own, parrying or dodging each slash of his enemies' weapons.
Finally Dystopicles let out a great roar, and his three opponents were forced backwards a great distance.
Meanwhile Vegeta was growing restless on the far away world.
The saiyan prince was in his normal form. He walked back and forth, the combined concern from the unknown fate of his loved ones on Earth and his own Saiyan instincts to fight prevented him from sitting quietly any longer.
"This is ridiculious. How long do I have to wait for Kakorot to finish training? People are dying on Earth and I'm here doing nothing." Vegeta said.
Kohryu had no emotion on his face as he answered.
"If you were to go back to Earth and fight Dystopicles alone, even in your ultimate form, he would destroy you." Kohryu said with a sad tone in his voice.
Vegeta crossed his arms and sighed before responding.
"At the very least I can delay that monster from killing anyone else. Any action is better than just staying here." Vegeta said.
Kohryu sighed.
"Your right...but what action can we take that won't end up helping the enemy? You are a smart individual Vegeta..you know what losing you would do for our side." Kohryu said, moving his wings slightly.
Vegeta sighed again.
"There must be a way I can make a difference." Vegeta said.
"I think you might not have to wait much longer." The Grand Kai, who was busy watching Goku battle Sun Wukong, said.
Vegeta immediately walked over to the reflecting pool to see Goku getting the upper hand on the monkey king.
Goku fired a point blank Kamehameha with all the power his Super Saiyan Five form would allow, sending the legendary Sun Wukong slamming into the side of a nearby mountain, which collapsed on top of him.
Sun Wukong quickly freed himself from the rubble and laughed.
"It looks like your ready." Sun Wukong said with a smile.
"Ready for what?" Goku asked.
"Your doubt and self-pity is gone. You fight once again with purpose and clarity of vision. My mission here is complete." Sun Wukong said, quietly powering down, his aura disappearing.
"Oh man, I wanted to fight you at your maximum..but your right..my real opponent is Dystopicles..and the Earth needs me. Still..I'd like to continue this fight someday..if your up for it." Goku said with a smile as he extended his right hand towards Sun Wukong, the two hovering in the air above the valley.
Sun Wukong smiled as well, and shaked Goku's hand.
"I'll tell you what mortal. If you and your friends can defeat Dystopicles..then I will fight you at my maximum...but I expect you to do the same. We both were holding back, if we are to fight again..let it be without restraint." Sun Wukong said.
Goku found himself a moment later back on the strange world where Vegeta and the two kais were waiting.
"About damn time Kakorot." Vegeta said, turning around towards his long time rival and friend.
"Hurry back to Earth, I imagine you both are needed there." Kohryu said.
Vegeta but a white gloved hand on Goku's left shoulder as the latter placed two fingers on his forehead, activating the instant transmission technique.
After the two vanished Grand Kai turned to Kohryu.
"Will they be able to defeat him?" Grand Kai asked.
"If they fail there is still one other..stuck in between timelines. I will continue to do all in my power to free him, you work on getting everyone killed on Earth on in Demon World back to life." Kohryu said.
The Grand Kai nodded.
"Looks like I have more than one reason to pay a visit to you Yemma..old friend." Grand Kai thought.
Goku and Vegeta appeared a short distance from Dystopicles, who continued to ward off attacks from the three Seraphim.
"This is it Kakorot..our final adversary. What we do here will be the most important things we have ever done in our lives." Vegeta said as the dust at his white booted feet began to rise off the ground as he began preparing to ascend to his maximum power and form.
"Lets send this guy back to the dark hole he crawled out of." Goku said.
Then as one Goku and Vegeta cried out, a reddish and a blueish light that rivaled the sun in intensity appeared. The solar system shoke from the combined might of the two Saiyan's power.
Dystopicles flew up and above his opponents, then turned his head to see Goku and Vegeta, both in Super Saiyan Six form, slowly walking towards him.
"So you return. I'm not surprised your back. You always have to play the hero don't you Goku? And Vegeta..you really think you stand a chance against me?" Dystopicles said with a sneer.
"We aren't here to talk. We are here to destroy you." Goku said bluntly.
Dystopicles laughed.
"Good luck with that fool. You tried before and failed...what makes you think you can do any better now?" Dystopicles said.
Suddenly the three Seraphim nodded to each other and flew off.
"See..even they have more sense than you two..." Dystopicles said.
Goku suddenly flew forward and into the air, his entire body becoming the head of a golden dragon as he approached the devil king.
"Rising Dragon!" Goku yelled as he collided with Dystopicles, causing the devil king to cry out in surprise as he slammed into the ground.
Vegeta wasted no time and ran forward at speeds that caused the ground itself to turn to magma.
"Big Crush!" Vegeta yelled as he formed a sphere of energy around Dystopicles that quickly closed in, attempting to crush the master of evil.
Dystopicles yelled, releasing himself from Vegeta's attack. Before he could counter however, Goku was again upon him.
"Supreme Kamehameha!" Goku yelled as he unleashed a deep crimson blast of energy from both hands. Dystopicles had no time to move as the attack slammed into him, forcing him above and out of the Earth's atmosphere.
Both Goku and Vegeta flew upwards and out of the atmosphere as well, the two then faced Dystopicles above the Earth, the master of evil surrounded by a menacing orange aura.
The two level six super saiyans then flew at Dystopicles, swinging literally millions of punches at their opponent. Dystopicles managed to dodge every blow at first, but eventually he failed to block one, then two, then all of his enemies attacks slammed him at every direction.
"Ultimate Galick Gun!" Vegeta yelled as he fired a powerful blue beam of energy.
"Supreme Kamehameha!" Goku yelled, firing his own blast of red energy.
The two attacks slammed into Dystopicles, shattering most of his armor and sending him further away from the Earth.
As Goku and Vegeta flew in front of their opponent Dystopicles laughed.
"Is something funny?" Goku asked.
"Your both fools if you think you can protect the Earth from me. Sending me further and further away won't stop the inevitable!" Dystopicles yelled.
Goku and Vegeta did not respond with words, but with fists, both of them slamming the devil king in the face with a twin uppercut.
Despite lacking fusion, the two knew each other's fighting style so well from fighting each other that the two could predict and compliment each other's moves. With near perfect teamwork they came at the devil king, who attempted to defend himself.
"Darkness wave!" Dystopicles yelled as he fired the skull composed of dark, black energy at his opponents.
Goku and Vegeta stood their ground, firing their own energy attacks at Dystopicles. Unlike Krysis, Goku and Vegeta managed to overpower Dystopicles attack, and in seconds the devil king was bombarded by both the Supreme Kamehameha and the Ultimate Galick Gun once again.
Dystopicles body was smoking, injuries covered nearly his entire form.
"You think you have won? You cannot defeat me, for you do not even understand what I am." Dystopicles said.
"What is that supposed to mean? You know what I think? I think your afraid. For the first time in your existence..a mortal stronger than you has appeared and you are losing." Vegeta said.
"Arrogant and overconfident as usual I see. What you fools fail to understand is that I'm not just myself...I am you as well. Anything that has evil in its heart is a part of me. This form you see before you is simply the physical manufestion of that existence." Dystopicles said.
"Your mind games will not work against us." Goku said as he prepared to attack again.
"Perhaps...but remember..should I be destroyed..another will take my place. It may take eions..but there will always be someone like me..as long as evil exists." Dystopicles.
"Perhaps..but we will destroy you anyway. If there will always be someone like you..then there will always be someone to oppose everything you stand for." Goku said.
Meanwhile in the timestream, two figures lay unconscious. One was about twenty years old, with lavender hair and golden armor on his chest. The other wore a blue capsule corp jacket and black pants, and also had lavender hair, though he looked slightly younger than the other, perhaps about seventeen.
The name of both was Trunks. One was the last remaining member of the Time Guardians, an order of warriors who were dedicated to protecting the various timestreams from any evil that dared threaten them. The other was the mighty warrior who had protected his own world from the tyranny of the androids, and had helped the z-warriors of a past universe to battle Cell and Bojack.
Both had vanished from the normal universe following the defeat of Krysis, but the two had managed to return, however briefly, to demon world to help their friends, uniting in spirit with the third Trunks.
But now the strength of both was far too depleted to exist in the one physical universe left in existence. They used what little strength they had to merely exist. Both hoped that their deeds mattered, that someone would have pity on them and save them from the approaching oblivion.
Light suddenly shined down on them. Both Trunks slowly opened their eyes to see four angels floating above them.
"You will not be left alone to fade away young warriors. Rise for you are needed once again." A bright angel, the brightest of the four said.
In the ruins of West City, Trunks slammed his right fist into the ground in frustration. He could feel all the warriors fighting and dying to stop Dystopicles, yet he and Goten could do nothing, even their fusion was no use against this foe.
Goten leaned against the remains of an apartment complex, his once pristine white uniform torn to shreds by all the battles since this entire affair started.
"Do use getting upset at what we have no control over." Goten said
Ultimo Shenron stood nearby, deciding to speak as well.
"Your friend is right Trunks. We must place our faith in your fathers now..for they are the only ones with the strength to stand against Dystopicles." Ultimo said.
Suddenly Future Trunks and Time Guardian Trunks appeared.
"What the?" Goten said in surprise as Trunks nodded to his counterparts. Suddenly the three dissapeared in a flash of light, reappearing as one being in golden armor. With a single yell, Time Guardian Trunks ascended to Super Saiyan Five, silver fur covering his arms and his silver hair now down to his waist.
The familiar sword of Trunks appeared in the youth's right hand.
To this friends..to his enemies, he was known for his sword.
"To return the multiverse to its proper state..one last battle awaits me." Trunks said as he flew into the air towards where he sensed Dystopicles.
Meanwhile at the battlefield itself Goku and Vegeta continued to battle the nefarious Dystopicles.
The two opposing forces exchanged blasts of energy which missed the earth...just barely.
Vegeta rushed forward, slamming his opponent with an uppercut followed by ten punches to Dystopicles' stomach.
Dystopicles brought his right fist forward, knocking Vegeta backwards into a nearby forest.
"Kamehameha!" Super Saiyan Six Goku yelled, firing his most powerful kamehameha yet directly into a distracted Dystopicles, who used all of his strength to avoid being sent directly into the sun by the attack.
"Keep trying fools, it will make no difference how many times you attempt to destroy me. You merely engage in futility, but then again I expected nothing less from you Goku." Dystopicles said as he struck a fighting pose in the air over a yellow-ish field of grass below.
High above them the sun was an impressive orange, seeming larger as the day came to a close.
Goku merely smiled slightly in response before the devil king choose to continue and speak once again.
"The day is nearly over. Once the sun is below the horizon the world will cross over into the Demon World. Once that occurs I will be unstoppable." Dystopicles said with a grin on his dark face.
Vegeta flew up so that he was next to Goku.
"Then its time to end this battle. Vegeta?" Goku asked
"Agreed." Vegeta said as the two saiyans were about to strike the first pose of the fusion dance.
Suddenly another power appeared. Vegeta immediately recognized the person as Time Guardian Trunks, despite his Super Saiyan Five golden armor was something only he wore. This version of Trunks could only exist in this diamension by the fusion of Future Trunks and his own son from this timeline. Supposably, without that timeline in existence anymore, Future Trunks, nevermind Time Guardian Trunks, shouldn't be able to exist. But here he was, floating proadly over the Earth, his golden armor and golden sword glimmering in the light of the setting sun.
"You again..I thought I eliminated you when I destroyed your timeline? Opps did I say that out loud" Dystopicles said before erupting into a fit of manical laughter.
"What do you mean? Krysis was responsible for the destruction of the timelines." Time Guardian Trunks said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Krysis was the last out of a long line of puppets. Don't you find it strange that my demon world has only progressed this far because the time lines were destroyed? Don't you wonder why it was the Seraphim who originally created the time fortress? It was all to prevent me from accomplishing my goal. With the guardians in place, both angelic and mortal, I could do nothing but wait in demon world. I had many eons to come up with a solution..do you want to know what it was?" Dystopicles asked.
"No but I'm sure you will tell us anyway." Vegeta said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I found I could influence the mortal world indirectly. So I whispered thoughts and ideas to select individuals. It began with Bididi. The little wizard's appetite for power and destruction made him extremely easy to influence. It was boring really, as all I had to do was suggest he go to demon world to retrieve what he needed to create his living weapon. The manner he entered demon world weakened the barriers the seraphs created, which was the first step in my plan. Krysis was the next step. He was not happy with the life his family and race had decided, so I suggested that he show the universe his own strength by forming an empire. Krysis was so easy to munipulate that I almost grew bored, but in the end he had succeeded in destroying the time guardians and conquering the Earth of the future." Dystopicles said, pausing before continuing.
"Time itself was created to be untamperable to prevent the power hunger and others from changing it, or to avoid paradoxes. But the very act of traveling threw time is enough to weaken the barriers between timelines. Trunks, in his desire to save his world from the Androids, weakened the timestream enough that Krysis was able to systematicly destroy all timelines but this one. Of coarse..the knowledge of how to accomplish this came from me. The last step..was getting you and your friends to a level of power that could defeat all ten demon kings." Dystopicles said with a wicked smile.
"Wait don't tell me." Vegeta said..realization hitting him.
"Yes. Freiza, Broly, Cell, Buu, Baby, every major foe you ever fought had something to do with me, all to get you to the level of power where you would be able to defeat the legions of demon world..breaking the final seal." Dystopicles said
"You may have been around for a long time, playing us all like a chess game. But today you will fall to the Prince of all Saiyans." Vegeta said with his trademark smirk, refusing to be intimidated by Dystopicles.
"For all those that cry out for peace, for the innocent, for all that is good, we will defeat you..or die trying." Goku said.
"In the name of all that lives. In the name of the time guardians..prepare yourself for destruction." Time Guardian Trunks said, pointing his golden sword at the black winged form of the devil king.
