Chapter 9: The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth

Akuma wa Tokiidate! Janemba no Sadame

I just want to say a HUGE thanks to everybody reading this. Yeah, including you. Yes, and you one hundred and sixty-three people in India; and you forty people in Finland. Yeah, I check the stats. Now why am I thanking you at this particular moment?

BECAUSE Break Through the Limit is now the #2 DBZ story worldwide (by reviews, anyhow). SECOND! WORLDWIDE! Now that's just awesome. It's you people that make me want to keep writing this, you know that, right? Thanks for sticking with it for so long, everybody (yes, that's you too, thirty-eight people in Israel and four hundred and seventy-nine people in Australia)! There's plenty still to come, and I'm doing my best to make it everything you've been waiting for! Enjoy!

Hakaishin temple, Seventh Universe…

The strike team arrived through the dimensional portal with no ceremony at all—the eight gods made their way straight for the exit. As they neared it, Bills drew Gohan off to the side, muttering to the others that he'd catch up. Now in private, he turned and glared at Gohan. "All right, I can't expect you to have known this already, but you said my true name back there—don't do that. I don't think they noticed with all the other stuff going on, and I didn't want to draw attention to it back then, so we got lucky."

"Uh…" Gohan frowned. "What's the problem with it?"

"Between gods, names are power. We all have informal titles for each other…to them, I'm 'the Priest', all right? Remember that."

"Okay…" Gohan nodded, but Bills was already walking off. "Why 'Priest', though?" he asked as he hurried along after the feline deity. "Isn't that kind of ironic?"

"Since when do I have to explain myself to you? Now hurry up, let's go save the universe or whatever."

They emerged out onto the exterior of the temple, preparing to take flight. Gohan was staring at his index and middle fingers, frowning. Long-distance Instant Transmission isn't working…I can't clearly sense any presences beyond this star system…there's some kind of interference. That's never happened before…

The Sorcerer tapped him on the shoulder, his partial telepathic powers allowing him to read this surface thought. "Encountering difficulties, I see…I tried a teleport spell myself as soon as we arrived, but to no avail. I'd theorise that the increasing proximity of the Eternal to this universe is causing its energy to permeate the entirety of your space. Definitely a hindrance to any long-range travel ability…"

"No matter," Cadmus countered. "It should take us under an hour via conventional flight. Stay in formation, and follow the Priest's lead; he should know the way."

"Well, this thing does anyway…" Bills raised Whis' staff, which sent him a mental impulse informing him of Earth's relative location to him. "All right…stay close." He took off, the other seven gods following hot on his heels, soon clearing the atmosphere and disappearing off into deep space, making a direct beeline for Earth.

Otherworld…

Elder Kaioshin sat back from his observation of the universe, having now seen the battle within the tower, the battle over it, and the arriving gods. He sighed. "I see…"

"What is it, ancestor?" Kibitoshin asked anxiously. "Have you determined the source of all these disturbances? There's…there's a prophecy or something, right? There's some kind of precedent for this? Sometime in your long life, you've encountered something like this…?"

Old Kai gave a shrug. "Nope. I have absolutely no idea what's going on. We may all be about to die. Or not. Not a clue."

"…oh…"

Inferno Gauntlet…

Hephaestus Shenron opened his eyes. "Wh…" He was lying on the ground, in front of the door onwards. Prometheus lay a few feet away, still unconscious. Hephaestus' right arm was now intact, but the damage that had been done to it before was shared out, burns and scars dotting his arm and Prometheus' whole body. "Why am I…"

"Alive? I'm not sure," Pan said, standing over him, powered down. "You were close, by the way, in that last clash." She indicated a shallow cut on the side of her head. "Didn't miss by much. Anyway…I just didn't feel like finishing you."

"But…the same courtesy I would have given you…a true warrior's death…" he rasped.

She shrugged. "That's your code. You play by your rules, I'll play by mine. I won, so…"

"You're not…angry?"

"Not with you, personally. You aren't the one who killed my friends and family. I know you've helped cause a lot of destruction, but hell…you were just doing what you were made for. Nobody ever asked you if you wanted to, right?" He was silent. "All right, then," she said, taking in a deep breath. "I got places to be, dragons to punch. Be seeing you—"

"Pan!" a voice called out from behind. She turned to see Vegeta Jr. and Goten jogging up towards her. Goten noticed the conscious Hephaestus. "Uh, is he—"

"He's not our problem," Pan assured them. He's brave, sure…but he knows he's been defeated. "Let's go."

"Not yet," Hephaestus whispered. "Don't try to go through the door. He'll kill you. If you stay, he'll come down…he'll give you a chance to fight."

"He…?"

"The final Shadow Dragon in this area…Helios Shenron." Hephaestus sighed. "You managed to raise your power to Prometheus' and my level, perhaps even higher…and your allies must be similarly impressive, if they overcame Gaia and Hades. But trust me—Helios is a world apart from us. Beware."

"I will…" Pan trailed off, looking up towards the sky. "Hold on…I think he's coming."

"Yeah, check out that power," Vegeta whistled. "That guy wasn't kidding…we're in trouble."

Pan frowned. "Where is he, though? The only change I can see is that the sun's stopped going in those weird little circles. Actually…it's getting bigger, too…"

"Heh…heh heh…" Hephaestus smiled weakly. "That's not the sun."

The burning trail of light focused itself into a single, narrow point and slammed into the ground in an explosion of sound and fury that would make a nuclear blast seem pathetic by comparison.

Slowly rising from his crouch at the bottom of the flaming crater, smoke rising from his body, ki hanging like a painful shroud over the entire landscape, stood the master of Inferno Gauntlet. "Greetings, intruders. My name is Helios Shenron. I'm going to kill you, so make it interesting for me."

The Thirteenth Universe…

The saiyan brothers turned to face Janemba as it materialised. "Is…is it all true?" Goku asked warily. "You…"

"I…did, yes," Janemba muttered, turning away. "Don't misunderstand me. I didn't enjoy it, and I eternally regret it. But because of the sacrifice I was prepared to make, some life survives in this universe. Had I not, there would be none."

"That can't be the only way to—"

"It was too late!" Janemba snapped. "Do not judge me. You haven't yet experienced that kind of desperation…but you might, yet. Pray that you never come as close to annihilation as I did."

"But…" Goku stomped up to Janemba, glaring straight up into its face. "…you didn't even try to fight the Eternal when it came along?!"

"You don't know what it is…you can't fight something like that. Trust me."

"Goku. Calm down." Raditz pulled his brother back. "He made his choice. Right or wrong, we can't change it. All we can do now is do everything in our power to stop the same happening to our universe." He looked up at Janemba. "You defeated the Shadow Dragons sent here, didn't you? So are they significantly weaker than a Hakaishin?"

"The ones I killed were, yes." Janemba frowned. "But I am almost certain that the Eternal will have improved their strength because of it, to prevent that from happening again."

Raditz nodded. "Yeah…we did reckon one of them, Alpha Shenron, had divine ki…maybe part of her job is to fight off any gods that try and take 'em out. Hey, one more thing…you send avatars of yourself into other universes to try and reduce the total life energy there…"

"What of it?"

"How often do you succeed?"

Janemba shrugged. "Opportunities have not come up often. I haven't even had time to 'visit' every universe yet, and none more than once. In the Fourth Universe, I was destroyed by its god, the Hunter—he's quite proud of that, though he's secretly ashamed that I managed to kill over a tenth of the life there. A waste, now, and a terrible shame—if I can't take out enough, those I did kill die in vain. In the Fifth Universe, the Fisherman's laziness towards his job allowed extremely powerful mortal warriors to arise, and they defeated me. You destroyed me in the Seventh. In the Tenth, a group of mortals managed to cut off my energy supply, dissipating my energy supply. In the Eleventh, my energy ran out after killing half of that universe's life-forms…the Scholar didn't care; she just watched it happen.

"The Eighth…my one success, other than here. There are few enough living beings there now that the Eternal will never even notice it. The Jester…did not take it well. They call him the Silent now."

"You bastard!" Goku shoved past Raditz, punching Janemba across the face. Janemba took it unflinchingly, sighing. "You're just as bad as they are, if this is your only solution!"

Janemba took a step back, watching Goku shake his aching hand. "I never claimed to be better than anyone. Perhaps I must become despicable to stop the Shadow Dragons; I do not fear sinking to their level. If it means ensuring that at least some life survives, then I am willing to become far worse than they are."

"Hold on…" Raditz indicated the drone standing motionless at the edge of the plateau they had met on. "Those things. Apparently there's a planet called Alfheim in our universe, where some of them live—though they're not as smart as yours, from what I gather. Plus there's that whole Shifting thing you do; the Alfheim natives have got that going, even taught it to a relative of mine."

"Yes…Alfheim is one of a series of early-warning systems I set up…" Janemba explained. "There are multiple planets named that, one per universe that I have managed to establish this in. I cannot leave this universe, but I can send messages. Not to the Hakaishin, they wouldn't listen to me, but to the mortals in a given universe most suitable for five-dimensional thinking. I give them the secrets of Shifting, and teach them how to grow the drones…in return, they become my scouts. The Eternal's coming makes a huge five-dimensional impression…I didn't know what to think the first time I felt it, but I have them all watching for it now. They reported to me shortly before you arrived…you certainly have less than 24 hours to stop the Shadow Dragons."

"Then let's not waste time," Raditz said flatly. "Do you know of any way we can get back?"

Janemba considered this for a minute, then nodded slowly. "It will not be without risk, but…it is possible." It held up a cautioning finger. "Normally, you would not be able to pass through the seal the Hakaishin used on me, but the negative energy bleed running through the Seventh Universe will make it more susceptible to interdimensional travel. Not yet to the extent that a divine being such as myself could pass, but a pair of mortals, even exceptionally powerful ones such as yourselves, should be able to slip through."

"So what's the risky part?" Goku asked, somewhat calmed down.

"You will have to create a dimensional 'capsule' to survive the void, as you did on the way here," Janemba explained. "Since you will now be expecting it, the journey will not be as arduous as last time, but your success is by no means guaranteed. The scenario will be any variant on 'something trying to kill you'—expect anything."

"All right. But how do we get there?"

"I will take care of that." Janemba smiled, for the first time. "The dimensional manipulation abilities of the natives of Alfheim, and even that of my mindless avatars…they are pale imitations of the true art I have developed. However, I must sacrifice form and beauty for practicality here—to get you two through the seal, I shall essentially fire the pair of you towards the Seventh Universe at such high velocity that the seal cannot register your presence until it is too late. So I suppose I'll end up calling this technique 'Dimension Gun' or somesuch."

Raditz folded his arms. "I'm ready anytime. Thank you for helping us."

"Regardless of what you think of me, I am committed to fighting the Eternal, and it is not too late for you to defeat the Shadow Dragons, and avoid being faced with the choice I was. If there is nothing else to discuss…" No response. "Very well." It raised its arms, placing one palm-out in front of each saiyan. "Good luck. I wish I had more advice than that." His eyes narrowed, and the world dissolved around the brothers, melting away into a vortex of shifting colours and incomprehensible shapes.

He did what he had to, Raditz thought.

He's a coward, Goku thought.

They lost consciousness moments after that.

Above the Shadow Dragons' tower…

Wistarion swung and missed, hissing in frustration as Alpha's return blow grazed his neck, the creator god flinching out of the way just in time to avoid serious injury. I'm losing ground… He blocked another vicious punch, the impact bruising his arm and flinging him several miles upwards before he managed to stop himself. We were even at the start of the fight…but while I've made sure to keep my skills sharp all these years, I haven't been in any real battles. I've lost stamina, and I'm tiring a lot quicker than she is.

"Having trouble keeping up, Wistarion?" Alpha gloated as she flew up to get level with him.

"What you do to me…doesn't matter…you lose either way." Wistarion grinned, a small trail of blood running down over his chin. "If I kill you, it's over. If you kill me, you'll give the others all the motivation they need. The god of this universe, or its mortals, will rise to stop you. Either way…you've lost."

"I told you, didn't I?" Alpha jeered. "I'm not going to kill you. Just beat you into submission, until you get on with your job."

Wistarion gave a steely glare. "If you don't kill me, I'll never stop fighting. It's the only way for you to survive."

"We'll see." Alpha retreated as Wistarion lashed out with an arc of blazing energy, shielding herself from the blast-wave with both arms. "Hmph! Is that all? What do you call that?"

"A distraction," Wistarion replied from behind her, before an elbow jammed into the small of her back. Alpha snarled, swiping as she turned to face him, and he blocked the wild swing, landing a kick directly into her face. She pulled on the extended limb, though, reeling him in and slashing him across the chest with her other clawed hand, throwing a spray of blood out into the upper atmosphere. "Gah—!" He fell back, gritting his teeth against the pain of this new wound.

"Come on," Alpha grinned, cracking her knuckles. "I'm just getting warmed up."

Inferno Gauntlet…

Helios Shenron stood at least nine feet tall, and was possessed of neither physical wings nor a conventional aura, but a hybrid between the two—twin jets of fire erupted from his shoulders, tracing out a wing-shape behind him, flexing slowly as if made of flesh and blood. His face was almost completely obscured by a radiant glow from behind, making it painful to look him in the eyes. Other than that, he appeared mostly human, with a light grey, surprisingly casual outfit held together in places by strips of black cloth (all of which somehow survived the immense heat radiating from his body).

"Gonna kill us, he says…" Pan muttered, smiling. "Yeah, that's been tried."

"Fair warning, I won't hold anything back," Helios said quietly, climbing out of the crater he'd made. "Equally, I expect nothing but your best. Do whatever you must to achieve maximum power—now!"

That's Helios… Hephaestus observed. He lives for the fight. I tried to defeat them before they grew too powerful to handle, but he wants them as strong as they can get. In addition…he probably won't stop until they're all dead. Mercy, in his mind, is a dishonour to the one spared.

"All right…hrrr…rrrRRAAAAGH!" Pan powered back up into her quasi-Super Saiyan state. "You guys…you ready to fuse again?"

"Yeah," Vegeta answered, nodding. "Bit tired, but we're fine, right?"

"Sure. Let's do it." Goten stepped up next to his friend and they rapidly executed the fusion dance, letting out the cries of "Fu—Sion—Ha!" in staccato bursts. Gogeta, now standing in place of the pair of hybrids, quickly transformed up to Super Saiyan 2.

"Interesting…" Helios' face was slowly overcome by an excited grin. "Two fighters with power on the level of us Shadow Dragons. I can see how you got this far…yes, this is perfect. Finally, an enemy worth my time. Come at me, both of you!"

"You asked for it…" Pan charged first, Gogeta close behind, strengthening their auras to resist the Shadow Dragon's heat. Pan's fist struck his face as Gogeta landed a kick to his stomach; they broke away, following up with a combined barrage of energy waves. There was no explosion, however; Helios raised his hand, opening it and drawing the multitude of beams into his palm, closing his hand effortlessly around the attacks, the light dying instantly. They realised at this point that he hadn't so much as flinched from their initial physical blows.

"Yes…very good…I'm impressed." Helios touched his face where Pan had punched him, smiling again. "I've been aching for a decent fight for so long…" A mark finally began to form from her attack. "At last, someone whose attacks I can feel. You two will be worth killing, as I thought." He raised his hand, smile widening. "It's my turn…just so you're aware, this next attack...contains the same heat as the heart of a star."

"Good to know…" Gogeta tensed up as Helios' enormous ki concentrated itself in the palm of his hand.

"I've tested your offence…now for your defence! Haaaaiii—" Helios let the enormous burst of flame loose, flicking it right at the last second as he saw the pair of them dodge in that direction. It impacted the ground right where he'd last seen them running, evaporating rock and lava alike and tunnelling down through solid stone for miles.

As the dust cloud settled, Helios chuckled—then began to clap slowly, turning a hundred and eighty degrees to face Pan and Gogeta, now standing behind him, both shaky and out of breath. "Afterimages…well done. You escaped in the other direction as soon as I diverted my aim. You're good…" His eyes lit up. "No, you're magnificent!" He began to pace towards them, wings of flame burning ever brighter.

"Damn…" Pan growled. "If just the fourth dragon is this tough, our chances don't look great…"

Gogeta sighed. "Yeah, I know…I kinda figured once we got this demigod ki thing figured, we'd be all right…nope."

"It's not as impossible as it may seem, actually," Helios said confidently, walking between them. "Our position in the tower is based on the strength we were created with." He crossed his arms. "But I train vigorously, unlike some of my brethren. My power has improved a great deal since then…to the extent that I have become stronger than the next two Shadow Dragons, Glacius and Kronos."

"Huh…" Pan smiled. "So if we beat you, then there's nothing to worry about until Alpha…"

"Perhaps. But, then, that's irrelevant, since you'll die here." Helios flared up his ki to his maximum again. "Let's continue…but I just want you to know this has been very entertaining so far. It's going to be a pleasure, killing you."

Nothing much to say here this week. Dum de dum. Onwards to other things.

Q: Haha, I love how Pan lampshades Hephaestus' hidden helmet hair...maybe he had it in a bun or something, & it came undone?

A: Or maybe he's just that fabulous.

Q: quick question captain space.

how do alternate timelines like the one future trunks is from fit into the multiple universes thing?

is each alternate timeline a different universe?

A: Er, not exactly...I think each timeline has its whole set of universes, which, while kind of a weird implication, makes more sense than the future timeline simply being another universe (as that would imply that some gods could simply fly from one timeline to the other, and, uh...yeah, no). So I guess things are very different there-possibly, with the Seventh Universe's lower overall energy level, the Eternal never arrives there in the first place. I don't really like to think about the future timeline anymore to be perfectly honest.

Q: Also Alpha's comment about them being "just gods" makes me wonder even more now what the Hell her and Whis are.

A: I guess it was to do with how the two of them are significantly more powerful and long-lived than any God of Destruction, not to mention possessing strange abilities beyond even the gods' understanding (like creating universes).

Q: Also, about Janemba; I think that revelation was totally awesome, but I am curious about one thing. You've said that the other Hakaishin now refer to him as "the Fallen", but what was his title before they exiled him and gave him that name? Considering his appearance, my guess would be "the Demon" or something like that, but I was wondering if you had decided on an official title. I picked up the Easter egg from that four-line poem you wrote a while ago, talking about "Thirteen safe beyond our ken / The Fallen One shall serve his time..." That clearly relates to the Thirteenth Universe and Janemba; nice touch!

The battle between Pan and Hephaestus/Prometheus was great; can't wait to see how it ends! Assuming she wins, Helios should be next; I'm excited to see how that goes.

A: Wow, you're extremely perceptive, piecing together the hints to work out the next Shadow Dragon, not to mention remembering the poem and deducing its meaning after all this time.

Janemba's original title has been expunged from all Hakaishin records in light of his crimes (none of them ever knew his true name, of course, so just refer to him as 'the Fallen' now). If I had to guess, it'd probably be something like 'the Wanderer' due to his unique abilities. That might have annoyed the Pilgrim; wandering, roving, etc., are his gimmick, in his opinion. But then, he's not really the type to let anything bother him, so I guess he probably didn't mind, actually.

Q: Son Gohan is potentially the strongest mortal in his universe and potentially the most kind hearted. He's a man who would throw himself in front of a (proverbial) bullet for his friends, family, and even random strangers. If he faced down a physically stronger enemy, he'd still fight, however futile. The fact that the eternal is able to make this man want to flee the very universe he is in with just a glance is ABSOLUTELY CHILLING.

They're really going to need more heroes at this point since I don't see 18 really doing much, though I suppose this is where Gohan and the Hakaishin come in. I know it's probably happened before in a much more popular source, but the whole "party getting diminished with each boss room" element really reminds me of Castle Bleck from Super Paper Mario.

Excellent work as always sir.

A: Thank you very much! I try.

I was more inspired by the likes of Yu Yu Hakusho and Saint Seiya in terms of that story structure, but now you've said that I want to go and play that game, I've heard a lot of good things about the Paper Mario series as a whole.

Q: 1. Lemme guess... Gohan's gonna turn Super Saiyan God again, isn't he?
2. Awesome story writing. I am 17 and I am nowhere close to your level of finesse.
3. I must say your's is the 2nd best Fanfic yet. First being, well you know, Bringer of Death.
4. I liked BoD's explanation of Instant Transmission better. I was quite disappointed when you revealed a 'Instant Transmission dimension'.
5. The idea of a 5th dimension was ingenious. The implementation was awesome too.

A: 1. Indeed, he did.

2. Glad you like it!

3. Well, I can't complain (funnily enough, I'm also second to them in reviews now), that's like being declared second-strongest in a room containing Goku.

4. Sorry you didn't like the explanation. It seemed to match what was presented in, for instance, the second Cooler movie. And the reason I wanted it to match that is because I loved the moments in that movie when Goku and Cooler fought mid-IT jump. Hence, dimension.

5. Thank you!

Q: Congrats on making it to 2nd most reviewed DBZ fanfiction!
I want Eternal's power in your comparative scale, or does he need a whole new one ?!

A: Errr…really…really, really high…?

Q: That person who asked about Break and LSS made me remember something. At one point I believe you said that the Legandary Super Saiyan transformation has untapped potential, though I can't exactly remember where you said it. Anyway, it makes sense to me that there's more to Legendary Super Saiyan than what we've seen so far. After all, what's the point in an ultra-rare transformation that only 1-in-a-million saiyans get when said transformation can be matched and surpassed by SS2 and SS3, respectively, both of which can hypothetically be obtained by any saiyan under the right conditions? So I guess my question is this: will we ever return to Legendary Super Saiyan in BTtL and see it built upon and its "true potential" realized?

A: Ehhhh…I'm still not entirely sure exactly what Break's going to do. But it'll be something.

Q: And (unrelated), what would happen if Nappa went Super Saiyan 3? Would he have the normal SSj3 hair? Just a normal head of Super Saiyan hair? Or no hair on top of his head, but instead a long, flowing beard?

A: Not a clue.

Q: wow! Gods vs Shadow Dragons! Could the other dragons that appeared in Jenemba's universe be the ones from GT? Would explaine why he could kill all of them, and why Guia is stronger than Sin. Another awesome chapter, and they are getting longer! Don't let this end soon...

A: Heh, that'd be funny. I don't think I'll specify exactly what the Shadow Dragons Janemba killed were like, other than none of them had divine ki like Alpha, or ridiculously overpowered abilities like Hades'.

And don't worry, it's not ending any time soon.

Q: After the shadow dragons, will you finish various subplots? Like Launch's split personality combined, how Sumpreme Kai knows about Janemba and Goku and Raditz Dragon Fist dream?

A: Launch's split personality combined has already been resolved, hasn't it?

Supreme Kai does not know about Janemba. He was extremely surprised when Janemba spoke to him as he banished it.

The last one: Yes, it will be answered. And not too long from now, either.

Q: Also you said she [Alpha] always hated how he acted superior to them, does that mean there are more like whis and alpha and if so who/where are they? Glad to see gohan made it, having him team up with the gods of destruction will be pretty sweet. If gohan and videl have another baby will the god form be passed on, or will the kid be born with demi god ki right away, making him a hybrid demi god.

A: She just meant the Shadow Dragons.

And, ummmmm…may…be…?

Note: If you don't understand any of the following, it's because I'm being silly and referencing things you haven't heard of. I won't hold it against you. Really.

Break Through the Limit Kai, Part XVIILCMLXIV: The Reckoningarisationgance

Last time, on this stupid thing:

Zarbon: Lord Frieza, Son Goku approaching.

Frieza: What do you mean, 'Son Goku' approaching? …Open fire!

SFX: ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP

Frieza: All weapons!

SFX: POW POW POW POW POW TSEEW TSEEW TSEEW

Frieza: Dispatch War Rocket Ajax to bring back his body!

Bulma: …Goku's alive!

Raditz: Launch! Launch, I love you! But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!

And now, the thrilling continuation…wait, I did this joke before didn't I…

PLANET ALFHEIM is apparently a thing now.

Hatchiyak [stereotypical robot voice]: Son Gohan. I have come to bring you to the plot. There are Tuffles. It's really cool and stuff.

Gohan: Don't wanna.

Hatchiyak: Good thing that duellist-attention-seeking guy's hair gave me child-grabbing lessons. Yoink!

Gohan: I get the ominous feeling I'm not going to be the main character for a while.

AN ASTEROID OR SOMETHING. EXT. DAY MAYBE?

Goku, Vegeta and Broly: For various reasons and personal vendettas we have come to chew bubblegum and kick ass!

Hatchiyak: Focus group analysis indicates people don't care about Broly. I will eliminate him. [violence]

Broly: Owie.

Gohan: I'm back! And evil! Except now I'm not just as suddenly!

[They FIGHT HATCHIYAK, who turns out to be a FINAL FANTASY BOSS, and has as many forms as Frieza]

Dr. Raichi: Curses! Attack, my Ghost Warriors who are all significantly less powerful than Hatchiyak's final form! Wait…

[This DOESN'T WORK of course]

Dr. Myuu: I was Baby! It was me! It was me the whole time!

Dr. Raichi: Son of a bitch! [dies or something]

Baby/Myuu: And now I shall possess Broly because this arc needs a final boss, and it can't be Hatchiyak since you fought him before the other minions.

Vegeta: Oh, well I'm so glad you're so concerned about us. Also please stop killing us.

Baby/Myuu/The artist formerly known as Broly: Naaah.

Vegeta: [dies]

Broly: [dies]

Goku: Hey, Byuu/Maby, we're pals now, right?

Buu/Maybe: Why not.

Tarble: I exist!

Gohan: Big whoop.

EARTH. A TIME. A PLACE. Look what do you want from me I don't know what time it was

Goku: What the hell happened here?

Krillin: We had an adventure!

Yamcha: Oh, I thought it was a party.

Nail: Where am I?

Tien: A scientist tried to kill us, I think? Or…robots? Or…monsters? Or…robot scientist monsters?

Launch: I'm drunk!

Goku: Uh…

MEANWHILE IN HEAVEN

Raditz: I'm drunk!

Pikkon: Where am I?

THUS ENDS THIS CHAPTER OF OUR EPIC TALE. Be sure to tune in next time for even less coherence, and more and more obscure references, and a fun time is had by all. Blessed are the cheesemakers. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.

Captain Space: [collapses]
