I wish I owned DBZ, but I don't. I own DVD's and tapes, but it just isn't the same. I also don't own the rights to any of the music pieces you see selected, just copies of merchandise, such a shame. The artists that created them are geniuses and we all must bow to them.
Chapter 68: Divine Intervention
Frost and Verto stared each other off in midair, with the former full of confidence and the latter full of anger.
"You'll pay for that Frost!" Verto bellowed as his eyes began to flicker between red and blue once again.
"Maybe, but not today. I strongly suggest that you three stand still and allow me to finish this quickly," Frost said. A small ki blast hit him in the face a half-second later, barely leaving a blemish.
Frost's smile faded as Verto's Psi sword reemerged, "So be it." Verto tensed in preparation but paused when Kibito floated in-between them.
"And who do we have here? I don't believe I'm familiar with your species. I like to know about my victims," Frost chuckled.
"As the Supreme Overseer of this universe, I demand that you stand down!" Kibito ordered.
Frost looked slightly intrigued, "Supreme Overseer? Well, it looks like you will be relinquishing that title to me very shortly!"
"Perhaps, but you won't find me to be easy prey," Kibito claimed. Frost grinned as he suddenly shot forward, driving his fist into Kibito's abdomen. Kibito bent over in surprised pain before Frost drilled his face with a harsh kick. Kibito crashed into one of the foothills below and, for the moment, lay still.
"That was disappointing. I expected more from him, pity," Frost said. Verto didn't wait for Frost to change targets and flew forward, sword stabbing towards Frost's head. He only hit an afterimage, and was smashed from behind by Frost's elbow. Verto fell, but managed to stop his momentum enough to swing around. Frost's knee found his face once he did, and Verto freefell towards the bottomless chasm below. Lenz flew after him as fast as she could, and caught up just as Verto regained control of his flight. His face was a bloody mess, and his nose was completely broken.
"Damn it," Verto muttered.
"Can't you use your red Psi again?" Lenz asked.
"Don't tempt me. If he gives me enough time, I could try it. I'm already past my limits here though," Verto admitted.
"Maybe I can do it then?" Lenz offered.
"Forget it, you can't control it at all, and I won't let you fight like that, it's too dangerous. You saw what I'm like in that state, and it's something I never meant for you to see. Not to mention you'll probably attack anyone in the area, just like I have," Verto explained.
Frost floated down in front of them with his arms crossed, "I hate to break up the skull session, but I would like to finish this foolishness." Verto purposefully floated in front of Lenz to protect her as his eyes continued to flash with random blues and reds.
Frost chuckled lightly, "Just how long do you think you can protect her boy? It doesn't even look like you can use your power effectively at the moment. I can feel you trying to hold your rage back. I suppose that's the smart thing to do, except that without it, you have no chance of beating me!"
"Maybe not, but you're not touching her until you've gone through me!" Verto declared.
"Unless you let go and allow your pitiful power to seep out, this will end in just a few seconds. So, do you both die together in some sort of honorable way, or do you become the villain in order to stop me? I'll let you have the chance to make the choice," Frost said as he powered up his Death Beam.
Verto's glare intensified, "Lenz, get back!"
"Little brother, no…" Lenz started to say.
"Don't argue. If this bastard wants another round of his own personal hell, he can have it!" Verto shouted. His aura spilled out into its incredibly intense presence as the air temperature rapidly increased again. Lenz backed off in fear as Verto was showered in crimson energy.
Frost smirked, "Now that is more like it!" Verto didn't wait before deciding on what he was going to do. He spread both of his arms wide and began channeling his energy into his palms. Frost backed away carefully, allowing his Death Beam to falter and fade. Verto's red power was swirling around him at an even faster pace than before, and the energy was being concentrated into his attack. He pulled both arms together and formed one vivid red-orange blast that began to take on a fiery outline along with a noticeable amount of lightning.
"What is this supposed to be boy? It doesn't feel like the other attacks you've used up until now?" Frost asked. Verto didn't answer as the reddened blast brightened, ready to fire at any moment.
Frost cast out his palm, "Fine, I guess we'll find out what it will do. Let us end this with one final showdown. The winner gets to live!"
Verto's eyes lit up as he saw his moment, "Soul Blazer!" Verto's beam shot out of his palms quickly, and Frost had barely started to channel his own power. Frost managed to stall the beam with his own yellow ki beam, but not for long. Frost's attack was being devoured by the Soul Blazer wave at an incredible rate, and it was racing towards him with all of Verto's burning rage. Frost panicked as he realized that he wasn't going to dodge it easily. All of a sudden, Verto's beam stopped short of him and literally vanished into thin air. It continued to roar into an apparent hole that had formed in front of the Changeling before Verto stopped firing, leaving nothing but questions. The hole sealed itself up completely, and Verto's attack was gone. Neither warrior moved, but both of them did sense a new presence nearby. It wasn't Kibito, even though he was flying towards them. Verto panted slightly as he glanced over, but the newcomer didn't improve his mood any. It was someone else that both of them knew, and both seemed annoyed by her arrival.
"What the hell do you want now?" Verto asked first.
"I suppose I should've expected that sort of greeting. Guess I should be happy that you haven't done any more damage," Leira said sarcastically.
"Answer the question woman. In case you hadn't notice, the boy and I are tending to unfinished business," Frost stated.
"Yes, I can see your handiwork. Therefore I must tell you that this fight need not continue. You've both proven your strength to me," Leira replied.
"What? Did you set this up?" Verto asked in a threatening tone.
"Not for this purpose I assure you, but I knew that you two would meet eventually. Only one minor detail remains here…" Leira explained briefly before pausing.
Frost pointed at Verto, "I agree, his death."
Leira shook her head, "Not him. The girl." Leira promptly pointed towards Lenz, which didn't draw a good reaction from Verto when his red aura sparked back on.
"Before either of you argue, you must understand that you can't be fighting each other if this galaxy is to be saved. She, on the other hand, must be destroyed immediately. Get on with it Frost," Leira ordered.
Verto snarled, "Now wait a fucking minute, what the hell are you doing?"
"Yes, I'm quite curious myself," Frost said with a slight nod, "I planned to kill her anyway, but now I'm interested as to why she's so important."
"She is your target Frost. I don't think I need to remind you of what could happen if she leaves here alive! The boy however will not be killed by you or anyone else," Leira said scornfully.
Verto positioned himself in front of Lenz again, this time spreading his arms wide; "I'll die before she does! I don't care if you think she's the cause for some universal apocalypse. Just because you think something will happen doesn't mean that it will."
"You must let her go Verto. She and her people are dangerous and you know it! The other cursed Saiyans must be taken care of as well, but the remaining Rotians are top priority, and she's the last one. I know this is harsh and you don't understand, but if you knew what I do, you would carry out the order without question," Leira claimed.
"Why don't you go fuck yourself?" Verto snapped back.
Leira sighed heavily, "Well I can see we're not going to get anywhere like this. Kibito, do it," Leira ordered. Kibito gasped lightly, but bowed his head before casting his arm up. Light blue energy surrounded Verto and bound his arms to his sides, erasing his powerful red aura for the moment. He struggled to get free of the paralyzing hold with little luck.
"Do not despair, this is for the best. Make it quick Frost; she is not to be tortured. The beast inside her must perish before it has a chance to show its true face," Leira said. By this point, Lenz was frozen stiff by not only Leira's speech, but also Frost's apparent eagerness to carry out the order. Frost readily took aim as Kibito used telekinesis to pull Verto out of the way. Verto was snarling with rage as his eyes shimmered with random bursts of red, but he couldn't do much more than twitch.
"Let me go Kai!" Verto demanded, "Don't put us through this!" Kibito didn't answer, but looked very remorseful about it. Frost's fingertip lit up with pink and Lenz nervously floated backwards a bit.
"I suggest you shut your eyes Verto, or Kibito can knock you unconscious. You don't want to see this," Leira advised.
"I suggest you come closer so I can put my foot up your ass! You don't want to release a monster? Do this and I'll give you one, I promise you that!" Verto warned. Kibito and Leira were slightly taken aback by this statement, though the latter merely shrugged it off.
"Well, that's an improvement. At least you're capable of showing emotion in this state. Love, it's such a troublesome emotion when allowed to manifest. It's also one of the key paths to insanity, so it's best to nip it as early as possible," Leira said.
"Yeah, I'm sure you've never had to worry about that, heartless whore!" Verto growled back.
Leira frowned, "That hurts but I'll let it slide. And yes I have if you must know. Love is what got someone dear to me killed a long time ago. I've never forgiven myself for it, so as you can probably tell, I have a unique enough perspective on the subject. Love is the entire reason I'm doing this now, despite what it may look like. Get on with it Frost!" Frost seemed even more intrigued by the new developments and lowered his blast instead.
"No, I don't think I will," Frost said.
"What?" Leira asked in disbelief.
Frost chuckled a bit before scowling, "As much as I would like to see this boy suffer, I detest taking orders from anyone. Especially a lying woman who is clearly trying to manipulate me. If you want that girl dead so badly, do it yourself." Frost brought his ki lit finger back up and pointed it at Verto again, who was still unable to move.
"You say that she must die and he must live, I disagree," Frost said.
"Kai, let me go!" Verto urged.
Frost grinned, "Too late!" He fired just as Verto shut his eyes in anticipation. The pink Death Beam struck something white a few feet away from Verto and bounced into the skies above. It was some sort of energy displacement in the air that took the shape of a small cloud before vanishing. Frost angrily glanced at Leira, though she seemed just as surprised about it. Verto found himself able to move again and promptly rushed back to guard Lenz again. Frost smirked lightly just before he phased out. Verto was hammered by Frost's elbow and fell towards the black below. Kibito instantly teleported to catch him, and Frost lined up another Death Beam. Lenz decided that she had seen enough and charged at Frost with her fist outstretched. She made contact with Frost's head, but it did next to nothing except annoy the powerful lord. Frost swung his forearm into her face, smashing it and sending a few broken teeth into the air. Lenz was knocked back by the blow, but didn't go far before Frost caught her with his telekinetic grip again. He had his Death Beam charging with his other hand and this time there wasn't anything to stop him.
Frost snorted at her, "I was actually going to spare you just to see what happened, until you thought you deserved to be on the same level as me. Brave and stupid, just as I would expect from a Saiyan. Goodbye!" Frost fired a perfectly aimed shot at Lenz's heart. It would have been a direct hit, if it hadn't struck the same strange energy cloud that had shielded Verto.
Leira was incensed, "Kibito!" Verto turned around in surprise as Kibito faced both Leira and Frost with a defiant expression.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow this to go on any further! I do not care what consequences may follow my actions, this is wrong and I won't let it continue!" Kibito claimed.
Leira bared her teeth, "Fool!"
"Heh, allow me," Frost said as he vanished. He reappeared right next to Kibito and drove a massive kick into his back, followed by an overhead smash. Frost instantly moved back in front of Lenz to resume his killing attempt. Verto held out his hand to form his sword again, notably straining as his eyes faded from their crimson state. Crap, I've been using the Berserk power too long and now I'm almost completely out of Psi energy.
Frost knew it as well, as he barely even gave Verto a second look, "Go ahead boy, try to save her!" When Frost turned around completely, Verto saw his chance. He poured every last bit of Psi energy into his blue sword, making it glow rather bright before he arched back. Frost still made no notice of this, and Verto heaved his sword like a javelin, one made of energy. Frost seemed to realize something was coming and turned his head just as it arrived. The javelin pierced him slightly off center, but did go completely through his left eye and out the side of his massive head. Frost froze in surprise before howling in pain, holding the gaping hole where his left eye had been. Despite the cauterized hole, it still managed to bleed quite profusely once Frost's blood pressure rose from the trauma. Frost shuddered in painful rage as he locked his one good eye on Verto and pointed his Death Beam again.
"You're dead!" he shouted. A bright mass of long golden hair suddenly appeared right in front of Frost. It was Goku, and by the way he was positioned, it wasn't going to be good for Frost.
Frost's eye widened in shock, "You're still alive, how the…" Frost paused when he glanced down and saw what was forming in Goku's palms, but it was already too late.
"HAAAA!" An incredible Kamehameha roared out and overwhelmed Frost, taking him with it into the horizon. The massive light blinded all to it until it was already miles away, leaving everyone stunned. Verto felt instant relief that Goku was alive and well, but also felt the desperation behind that particular blast and its timing. Verto followed the evil changeling's trail with his senses and knew immediately that he survived it, but not by much. Verto started forward as Goku was catching his breath, giving him a concerned gaze as he powered down to normal.
"What are you doing?" Goku asked.
"I'm going to finish him off with what power I have left," Verto replied without even turning his head.
"No, you don't need to! He's hurt and unable to fight back, there's no reason to kill him in cold blood!" Goku claimed.
Verto stopped as his aura flashed red once again, finding a renewed anger to draw power from, "Tell that to her brother! Tell that to your best friend when Frieza destroyed him! Tell that to your son when Videl was killed over a year ago by Aldaris!" Goku grimaced and found himself at a loss for words. Lenz and Kibito both stayed quiet as Verto took off into the air, face full of malice. He didn't make it far before Leira cut him off in midair.
"Get out of my way, this has to be done!" Verto shouted.
"And you're willing to just go through with it, end his existence?" Leira asked.
"You just now figure that out?" Verto fired back.
"I had my suspicions before. After what happened in the lab, I don't believe your will is completely your own right now," Leira replied.
Verto's lip twisted slightly, "Why are you bothering me with this crap?"
"Because you should know that the cursed renegade Chal is able to influence negative emotions in other beings. That has happened to you before if you recall, and it wasn't a pleasant outcome. Rather you meant for this to happen or not, you are not in complete control right now and that is detrimental," Leira explained.
"I don't believe you," Verto said as he pushed past her.
Leira grabbed his shoulder and held tight, "If you recall, many of the soldiers you killed today were randomly fighting with each other. That was a result of Chal's influence, as was Frost's desire to kill you so soon. The girl's sealed power was released because of him as well. Now I know you're intelligent enough to realize when something is terribly wrong with you, even when your own instincts are burning inside for more blood. Do you really want to continue this madness and end up killing your friends because you lost control of yourself again?" Leira asked. Verto paused before looking away, speechless.
"You were able to overwhelm his ability before when you pushed beyond your limits. Now that you're weakened, it has taken hold again, helped by the battle's progression. It will likely have distinctly bad side effects until you can find your way past it," she continued.
"What kind of side effects?" Verto asked as he sighed.
"I do not know," Leira replied. Verto's fists shook slightly, but the color in his eyes faded to a very dim blue and he relaxed slightly.
"Go back home and rest, you'll need to recover your strength for the coming days," Leira suggested.
"And you? What are you going to do, save that asshole's life?" Verto retorted.
"I don't intend to. I imagine his own soldiers can do that, assuming you left any alive," Leira remarked.
"So you're just going to let this go, you're not going to try and set me up again?" Verto asked.
"I did not want this encounter to happen until I learned of the Renegade Saiyans being here. Their curse is also the girl's curse and sooner or later, you will have to accept the grave situation and why I acted upon it. This mission was a failure and I'm not allowed to carry out the deed myself," Leira admitted.
"Oh I get it, you'll just send someone else after her then, maybe that guy Etarb?" Verto asked.
"The chances of him carrying it out are zero unless absolutely necessary. I haven't decided how I'm going to handle it, but I highly doubt that any assassination would work, so you can relax. My abilities to predict future events have become much less effective and it's very clouded right now. I do not know what's going to happen next," Leira said.
Verto snorted, "So you're in the dark now too? How's it feel?"
"Annoying," Leira said as she tossed Verto a small yellow crystal on a worn string, "Use this to help keep control of yourself until you can adjust."
Verto recognized what the stone was, "Where did you get this?"
"The girl's brother, I saved it before you destroyed this place. Keep your friends close," Leira said as she turned to leave. She stopped when she realized that Verto had yet to move.
"Is there something else?" she asked.
Verto took a moment to answer, "This curse crap you keep talking about, do I have it too?"
Leira smiled lightly, "Thankfully no. Well, not to the extent of the others anyway, farewell."
Verto stared at her, "What's that supposed to mean?" Leira vanished abruptly, leaving Verto confused in the silent air. Behind him, Goku, Lenz and Kibito were flying closer, all concerned about what would transpire.
Kibito was the first to say anything, "Well?"
Verto glanced at him, "Well what?"
"I thought you were going to finish the job?" Kibito pointed out.
"I was, don't tempt me," Verto replied.
"Are you crazy? What the hell could've changed your mind this time?" Lenz cried out.
Verto rolled his eyes, "It's not important, let's just go home. I'm sick of being here."
Word spread quickly that Verto and Lenz had returned, and their injuries were taken care of by a few Senzu beans once Goku made the trip. Before anyone could organize anything though, Verto spilled most of the ugly truths to Bulma and Vegeta, causing the former to forego any party plans. Vegeta seemed rather quiet once the details involving the Rotians and Renegades came out, which stunned Verto. He elected not to mention anything more about why Lenz had been targeted by Leira though. After hearing how Frost ended up, Vegeta was also strangely relaxed.
Once Verto asked about it, Vegeta have a very uncharacteristic shrug, "That fool won't be coming here anytime soon. If he attacks, it will be when we least expect it."
Verto's questioning eyebrow went into the air, "You're not one to let the enemy off the hook."
"I wasn't the one who lost control of myself either. You have a bad habit of doing that. You clearly are not ready to deal with things alone yet," Vegeta said.
"Don't remind me," Verto grumbled.
"So what then boy? Are you going to go cry in a corner for a few days after wiping out so many losers?" Vegeta asked with a stark grin. Verto eyed Lenz, who was on the verge of doing just that.
"No, I don't have much of a reason to," he replied simply.
"Are you trying to tell me you've gotten over your softness? Ha! I'll believe that when Kakarot grows a brain!" Vegeta laughed.
"Hey, that wasn't very nice!" Goku whined.
"Of course not, that's why I said it! Idiot," Vegeta grunted.
"Whatever you say. I lost my compassion more than once out there, and I would prefer to have it back," Verto said sternly.
"And wearing that ridiculous rock around your neck is supposed to help you? I doubt that!" Vegeta said.
"This 'ridiculous rock' does work to an extent. It will at least keep me from flying off the handle with that Berserker power. But as far as your vaunted killer instinct, that stayed," Verto replied coldly.
"I thought that faded once you calmed down?" Bulma asked.
Verto glanced at her, "Yeah, when has that ever happened? The only thing different is that I decide on what I do instead of just doing it. I came so close to murdering those bastards multiple times out there for just looking at me wrong. I don't know how I kept control when I did. When I finally did flip out and let instinct take over, well you do the math. Leira was right, my emotional control is impaired, and it probably has been for awhile. Chal probably aggravated it, but it was still me that pulled the trigger," Verto explained.
"Is that supposed to be a threat or something boy?" Vegeta asked.
"Not really, just don't agitate me for awhile," Verto suggested.
Vegeta didn't budge, but did change the subject, "So, you never said why that woman wanted the girl dead?"
Verto gritted his teeth, "I don't care why." He then stormed off to his own room, beheading a robot maid in the process. Lenz motioned to follow, but glanced at Vegeta first as if for approval. Vegeta nodded slightly and Lenz promptly left the area.
He waited for the doors upstairs to close before saying another word, "Is there anything else you wanted to mention Kakarot?"
Goku rubbed the back of his head, "Oh, well not really."
Vegeta glared at him, "Then get the hell out of my house! And take the Namek with you!"
Goku turned to see Piccolo standing outside, listening through a window, "Oh, I didn't even see you there!"
Vegeta snorted, "That's obvious." Vegeta waited for Goku to leave and for Piccolo to at least appear to be gone before he said anything.
"Perhaps keeping this from him was a bad idea," Vegeta admitted.
Bulma scowled, "Perhaps? Of course it was a bad idea! Nothing about it is good at all!"
"At the same time, we have to consider what might happen in the near future, whether we choose to use the Dragonballs or not," Vegeta said calmly.
"I don't see the point of that. We're talking about an entire species being wiped out just because they were a little different. It's ridiculous!" Bulma claimed.
"Maybe, but we must remember that our entire history has been altered more than once by that woman and possibly others. We don't know what a dragon wish will do and if it will bring in an unstable element we didn't count on," Vegeta pointed out.
"That's pure speculation! I say we forget the Kais and whoever that woman is and do what's right!" Bulma said.
"Fine, but we'll wait another few weeks before we decide on anything. I have a feeling that we haven't heard the last of this. It's also possible that they've taken precautions to our plan without us knowing. Have the boys found the sixth Dragonball yet?" Vegeta asked.
"I had Trunks helping me today and Goten was visiting his grandfather. Trunks can probably find the next one alone tomorrow, unless you're ready to reveal this to everyone?" Bulma hinted.
"Hmph, once those two know, everyone else will. As far as I'm concerned, the less they know the better. The Namek knows too much as things are, but the woman deliberately allowed it. I imagine she has some special purpose for him as well. How much work is left on the bunker?"
"Plenty, but if you're not worried about Frost yet, then we've got the time. It's just a matter of equipment setup," Bulma replied.
Vegeta huffed a bit, "I'm not concerned about that freak. If the boy could push him that far by himself before Kakarot showed up, then there is no reason to think that he's unbeatable. The loss of most of his soldiers also causes him a serious setback. Nevertheless, we need to keep eyes on the entire solar system."
"Well that'll be hard work, but it's doable. What I want to know is when did you become so logical?" Bulma asked slyly.
Vegeta smirked, "Right around the time you became so irrational. Were you able to locate the last Dragonball with the radar?"
"Not yet, meaning it's either being blocked by some sort of technology or that some wild animal ate it. Most likely a dinosaur or something, why? You just said you weren't in a big hurry?"
Vegeta's eyes darkened, "The Kai."
"Kibito? Nothing seemed wrong earlier."
"I didn't like the look in his eyes. He was distracted by something, and the boy was clearly more agitated with him than normal," Vegeta claimed.
Bulma was puzzled, "I didn't see anything past his usual rush to get away."
"A warrior notices these things, woman. After what the boy told us, it's either some sort of backlash with his interference, or he knows something that is much, much worse. I suspect it's the latter," Vegeta said cryptically.
"Are you sure you're not just blowing this out of proportion?" Bulma asked.
"Perhaps, but I doubt that woman will just let this go if the girl was supposed to perish in that battle for whatever reason. The boy obviously knows why she wanted it done, and I doubt it's just because the Rotians seemed unable to control their hidden powers. The girl admitted herself that she's able to use that power now, so I doubt that's all of it. I too think that it's ridiculous that some woman we don't know seems to have more authority than those bothersome Kais and I'll be damned if she's going to tell me how to meet my destiny. Besides, her efforts are counter-productive. Telling the boy not to use whatever power he has and then setting up the situation that forces his hand? Doesn't seem like the work of some otherworldly being trying to affect the future," Vegeta surmised.
"Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me either. Actually, a lot of it doesn't. Argh, I need some coffee before I try to figure this out," Bulma groaned.
"Hmph, weak woman! Your addiction to caffeine and smoking sticks will be your downfall," Vegeta declared.
"Oh shut up."
Far across the stars, on a battered planet, a loud beeping sounded. It was coming from a large tank full of randomly bubbling fluid, which barely held a large alien inside. A doctor dressed in Saiyan armor and a blue skinned man with a horn waited for the fluid to drain before opening the chamber. Out stepped Frost, back in his previous fourth form, with the exception of his missing eye.
"We were able to restore your tail my lord, but I'm afraid you will require a mechanical eye until…" the doctor began. A sudden flash of light shot through the doctor's head, severing it at the neck.
"Of course I'll need a new eye you idiot! At least until I can use my ultimate form again," Frost admitted.
"Would you like a status report now sire?" Burotsuno asked.
"I think I have a very good idea about the current state of things Buro. The only thing I want from you is the whereabouts of the Renegade Saiyan," Frost demanded.
"A ship was detecting leaving the planet shortly after your battle concluded. Amongst the chaos, we were able to determine that it was one of ours and it was an unauthorized launch. It was out of tracking range within a few hours," Buro said.
"And Lord Bojack, where is he?" Frost asked.
"Overseeing the cleanup operation in your absence. As you know, Gokua was killed during the battle, as were a vast amount of our forces. Bido was found dead in the dungeon, presumably due to the Saiyan escaping," Buro reported. Frost grimaced as he glared at the ground.
"Is there anything else sire?" Buro asked.
Frost glanced up and a very tiny smirk appeared, "Yes there is. I want you to contact planet number two-eighty-five."
"Two-eighty-five? That faraway place? Whatever for sire?"
"For the short term, status alerts, which is to be passed on to every base in the empire. For the long term, mobilization. You see, there are some very important soldiers I wish to join me on our next project. Soon, we will be going to war," Frost replied.
Buro nodded, "Understood, but who are we declaring war on? The Renegade Saiyans?"
Frost's grin darkened into a vicious scowl, "Forget them for now, our target is Earth."

A/Ns: I feel the need to point out that just because there's a big battle, that doesn't mean I feel entitled to post power-levels every time. And whenever one of you readers has a gripe about something, please sign your review so I can send an appropriate response instead of just leaving it on here. Of course half of those gripes can be solved with patience. Since another short era comes to an end, so I feel the need to leave a preview.
Next time on DBV: As Verto resumes teaching Lenz, Trunks goes off in pursuit of the sixth Dragonball. His search brings him to a research center under a hostage crisis. After offering his assistance, Trunks finds himself at odds with the law when they attempt to assassinate the criminal before he can make his case. Trunks soon learns that the hostages are not ordinary, and a new danger spirals upward from the depths.
WDG: Going to tie up loose ends, eh? Oh well, have a nice break.
VB: A planned break that really didn't have anything to do with messing up my left hand, but it happened anyway. And it won't really be a break for me.
