Chapter 4: Three consecutive worst mornings
(Saturday, Yuigahama Yui POV)
Finally weekends have come, I can already tell that Sablé is so eager to have me walk him.
"Woof!" exclaimed Sablé as he started to run again.
"Ah. Wait for me Sablé." I said.
"Ah Yui. Be careful while walking him okay~?" said my mother as usual.
Geez. Now his collar is torn again.
I know that weekend morning is really refreshing but my engine still not that hot enough y'know?
As I chased after him for a while, he's running back to me.
However, there's something wrong with him. His expression is somewhat extremely feared.
I looked to the direction where he's coming from and found Yukinon carrying erm… a big cracked orb with seven stars on it.
"Ara Yuigahama-san. Sorry to interrupt you on your weekend but can you help me carry this? It's so heavy." said Yukinon as she put it down while breathing heavily.
"Eh? Ah yeah why not. It's Yukinon's request after all." I said.
As I was going to help Yukinon, Sablé bit the sleeve of my trousers as if to prevent me from approaching her.
"What's wrong with you seriously, Sablé? It can't be help, I guess." I said as I forcefully put him in my bag.
Sablé still barking despite being put in my bag. Seriously, what's wrong with you today?
"Erm… Yukinon. What's this orb?" I asked.
"Well, I'm just passing by and saw that the museum staff left it in the phone booth nearby so I thought I'll get it to the police station." said Yukinon.
"Wow, Yukinon is such a good girl~" I said and attempted to hug her.
However, Yukinon unexpectedly dodged me.
"Geez. Yuigahama-san. You should at least fix that habit of yours. My heart almost skipped a beat." said Yukinon as she covered her chest.
Although that definitely sounds like what Yukinon would say but her dodging me still sounds so out of character for her.
Or maybe it's because she's exhausted from carrying that orb? Seriously Yui, how dumb you can be?
"Ahaha. Sorry about that. Well then let's carrying it." I laughed wryly and said.
As I was lifting the orb up, its glowing and Yukinon somehow smiled weirdly at me.
"Eh? Kyaaaaahhh?!" I screamed and instinctively closed my eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was half-buried in the unknown continent and my surroundings are like one in the haunted house I've visited during the Kyoto Trip.
Apparently, only my upper half that can move while the lower half is somewhat complete locked.
"What's the meaning of this? What happened to me? Somebody. Someone please help me." I screamed for help.
My body sunken a little deeper as some dark purple clouds generated around me and started forming into the shape of dragon-like monster in front of me.
(A/N: The appearance of the dragon is similar to Zeroth Dragon of End of the World, Dust)
"What's this?" I uttered.
"I believe that has to be my line. What an unbelievable fool you are. To think that your perceptive is even below to your dog's." said the dragon.
Wha—? So that's why Sablé was…
"So dumb that I have ever doubt why the human named Hikigaya Hachiman want to have our good counterparts altered your memory so you won't remember him in the first place. With your level of brain, I believe a mere hypnosis should be enough for someone like you." stated the dragon.
"What? Hikki? Altered my memories?" I said.
What's going on? Why Hikki…
"Every thoughts and feelings you have are too obvious, y'know? Looking at you like this make me start to wonder why ESPer is such a big deal to human in the first place." said the dragon.
"Shut up and gets me out of here!" I shouted.
"That won't do. From now on you're my life substitute so you should better gets along with me instead. Aren't that your strong point?" said the dragon.
Before I could retort, the orb that I carried a few moments ago glowed and projected the image of Yukinon.
"Just how long are you going to stay silent, Seven Stars?" asked Yukinon.
Seven Stars?
"Sorry about that, Six Stars. The vessel you chose for me just so dumb enough that I couldn't help myself but wasting the time to voice my opinion." replied the dragon.
Vessel? Six Stars? What the heck is this naming?
"Now that you mention it I think I can agree with you. You know, I thought that Yukinoshita Yukino is already stupid enough to take the bait so easy but Yuigahama Yui really takes the cake." said Yukinon… or should I say Six Stars.
You guys really have fun torturing me, huh?
"We are really not the one befitting to talk much since we're also being made fun of by that three eyes before. Good thing that people who involved in the latest wish are all alive, otherwise we can't get any life substitute for ourselves." said Seven Stars.
"Everything is all thanks to Hikigaya Hachiman for making that one last wish. However, still not great enough. Even though we're this power up thanks to absorbing another set of Dragon Balls, I don't think we can defeat that clown Ozotto by ourselves individually." said Six Stars.
"Yeah. If only we found someone who we can possess and strong enough to bear more than one of us individually we would have been able to make that three eyes pay for making fun of us much sooner." said Seven Stars.
"It can't be help. If we don't find someone to possess and make them our life substitutes as quick as possible, otherwise Ozotto will find us and make us offer ourselves to him threateningly before we could do anything." said Six Stars.
"Really troublesome. Aren't they exist? Someone that could bear all seven of us on their own and let us use them as our life substitute as we please?" said Seven Stars.
"Did the host's airhead trait transfer to you? Someone like that would definitely be able to sense our evil intent and won't let us fooled them that easily, otherwise I would go to Hikigaya Hachiman himself instead of this rebellious girl. This host of mine is resisting me all the time without show any sign of giving up, but that's all she good at aside from being able to become my host." said Six Stars.
You guys definitely have fun humiliating my intelligence capacity, huh?
"I hope one of other five managed to find that ideal host since I want to have that three eyes killed so bad." said Seven Stars.
I'm not going listening to their incomprehensible conversations anymore since doing so won't helping me out whatsoever.
However, there's one thing I will crave it in my mind.
If I happened to be rescued, I wouldn't take my mom's warnings lightly ever again.

(Sealas POV)
"Ugu!" I groaned as I was sent flying away.
So this is the power of Jiren, the rumored mortal whose strength is surpassed that of gods of destruction.
As expected of him, his capture level is insanely high.
But if I succeed in capturing him and make his power mine, my justice would be all but guaranteed to realize.
"What is your objective? Suddenly appeared in our universe and beating Universe 10's fighters one by one and make them call for Pride Troopers." said Jiren.
"What happen right now is my objective. To carry out my justice, I need your power. How about you joining me?" I said.
"You're definitely out of your mind. Do you think I would join force with someone whose justice makes people suffering." said Jiren.
This egghead. In the end, all Pride Troopers are…
"When it comes to justice, you're just another Pride Troopers member. Why can't any of you understand that in order to carry out the absolute justice, making sacrifices are inevitable?" I said.
"If you want to carry out justice, you should do it with minimum amount of sacrifices, not as much as you can. For someone who treat sacrifices like a money to buy something like justice, to me they're just villain." said Jiren.
"It's really a waste. Both the negotiations and the power you possessed. I will make your power mine and put them in a good use instead. For the sake of justice! Huryaaaaahhh…!" I said as I barraged many ki blasts at Jiren while warping closer to him.
All of you are the same. Not understanding my justice yet so daring to question it.
"As if I would allow any ounce of my strength be used for pursing your broken ambition which you claimed to be justice. Huwaaaaahhh…!" said Jiren as he released kiai to cancel my attacks.
"Then how about this? Beyond Split Gate!" I said as I activate the said ability.
It's one of the ability I obtained from the old Universe 3, it's allowed me to create the clones of myself from the subspaces and make them ambushed/absorbed my opponent from various directions at the same time which takes three seconds for the whole procession.
Although I can only create up to 25 clones at a time, this ability still have advantages more than Time Skip in the terms of number and that I don't have to bother charged at enemies myself all the time.
However,…
"Guwaaahh…?!" groaned my clones as they reverted back into the subspaces and disappeared.
Twenty two of my clones were defeated, just like that, although the remaining three have their attacks hit him he just remains unfazed.
"Tch. 3 seconds is still too long, huh?" I muttered.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's Universe 3's specialty. Just how many sacrifices you've done up until now!" scolded Jiren.
"I'm not obligated to answer those who defying my justice! Come forth." I scowled back and summoned my clones for the second time.
"If ambushing can't get you, I'm gonna takes you head on." I said and charged at him along with my clones.
Even though I adjusted my clones to get warping ability so they can dodge the incoming attacks and ambushes him, neither I nor my clones could defeat him.
It's not possible for me to absorb him as I am, however, I did gather a lot of his data.
Now I have to retreat, but how?
"Jiren!" shouted someone.
Judging from the uniform he wore, he's definitely another Pride Troopers. However, it's not like he's in a shape that could assist Jiren.
"Dyspo?" asked Jiren.
"Order from Toppo. He needs your help in capturing Planet Eater Moro." said Dyspo.
"Not even you or Toppo can handle him?" asked Jiren.
"That guy can use magic and possesses weird abilities. Not to mention that he's purposely let us called Toppo to him so Toppo thought it might be some sort of trap and want you to act as a failsafe." said Dyspo.
I don't know what's going on but this is a good opportunity. If I used that Dyspo as a hostage I will be able to retre—
*Boom*
It's an explosion from ki blast that exploded on my face.
Who? Who the hell that shot ki blast at my face? That totally ruined my golden opportunity since that explosion attracted Jiren and Dyspo's full attention on me.
As I scouting for the culprit and found out that it was the old Universe 10's faint user.
"I won't let you flee after making a fool out of us. You're going to pay for everything you've done."
He's already recovered, huh? No, all of the old Universe 10's fighters that I defeated before the arrival of Jiren are all recovered.
So what. No matter how much small flies recovered, they're still small flies.
"Dyspo. Sorry for ask you this favor but assist them in defeating that jerk." said Jiren.
"Roger. Protecting people from bad guys is our life after all." replied Dyspo as Jiren left.
Just a bunch of coward heroes who couldn't accept sacrificing aren't fit for protecting people. Especially you, Jiren.
It's true that I'm out of your league but I still strong enough take on your buddy and these old Universe 10's small flies at once.
Jiren. I will show you that your justice is wrong the next time we meet. I definitely will.

(Sunday, Hiratsuka Shizuka POV)
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!
"WHO THE HELL BROKE THE MIRROR OF MY (RENTAL) CAR?!" I shouted in anger.
After ranting about the problem in front of me (both internally and externally), I opened the door to check if I was hijacked or not.
Thanks god that my belongings still safe. However, what in the galactic hell is this ball?
Now that I looked closely, it is a cracked dark blue orb with two stars decorated on it.
"What the heck do the culprits thinking? My car is so damn luxurious and yet they mistook it as a trash can?" I groaned to myself.
What have I done to deserve such a horrible morning?
As I attempted to toss the damn orb away from my (rental) car, it glowed and blinded me with its light.
Argh! What the heck is that?
When I slowly opened my eyes, I found myself sealed on the rock as if I'm a fossil and surrounded by countless fossils and bones.
What a creepy place.
I believe I have already said it before but I'm going to say it again. What the heck is this?
Then the mysterious wind blown away my train of thought and revealed a figure of …dragon?
(A/N: The appearance of the dragon is similar to Zeroth Dragon of Death Garden, Zoa)
"What an unhealthy host. Smoking on regular basis, aren't you?" said the dragon.
"Leave me alone. No, that's not it. Get me outta here!" I said.
"Don't order me around, human!" said the dragon as it smacked my tummy with a flick of its toe.
"Ack!" I groaned.
After that, the orb that responsible for every shits that happened up until now glowed again.
Oh, am I going to return to reality or something?
But my hopes are remained as piped dream since the orb just project picture instead.
What projected in front of me and the dragon are my students. Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui.
"Yukinoshita. Yuigahama. Save me! Call the police or something!" I yelled.
However, I was ignored.
"Both humans and Ozotto are really getting on my nerves. By the way, can't you guys just find any healthier life substitute for me or something?" said the dragon.
What?
"Shut up Two Stars Dragon. If it weren't for us you wouldn't get any to begin with." said Yukinoshita.
Oi. What the heck are you saying and why are you acting like a delinquent?
"After all the trouble we've gone through to set this up and this is your thanks?" said Yuigahama.
You too?! And what the heck are you two doing? Set me up? Why?
"Ack!" I groaned.
"Shut the hell up human!" groaned the dragon before turned its own attention back to Yukinoshita and Yuigahama.
"Let's say I'm grateful to you guys, Six Stars and Seven Stars. However, I still find this host unpleasant after all." said the dragon.
Then let me go already!
"Just deal with it. It's not like I personally prefer this host either. This girl is indeed has a cute appearance but that's all she is. Not to mention that a low stamina is really bothersome." said Yukinoshita.
Huh? Is that so? Yukinoshita is also in the same boat as me. Wait, don't tell me…
"It's just as Six Stars said. Having host's airheadedness dumbed down my intelligence is really bothersome as well." said Yuigahama.
Like. I. Said. Just let us go if we're such a pain to you guys!
"If there's an ideal host we would have it easier." complained Yuigahama as she acted so bitchy even in her standard.
So, they're not the same students I know.
Now that I observed them properly, their pupils are somewhat lifeless and weird.
Yukinoshita's pupil shape is six pointed black bordered red star while Yuigahama's is seven pointed black bordered red star.
"I guess you're right about the host dumbed down your intelligence, Seven Stars." said the dragon beside me … or should I address him as his name; Two Stars Dragon.
"What?! You're looking for a fight? Although my host is weak but I myself isn't!" said Yuigahama or rather… Seven Stars dragon.
"If you want an ideal host then there's one on this planet, isn't it?" said Two Stars dragon.
"Really? Wait. Do you mean Hikigaya Hachiman?" asked Yukinoshita or rather… Six Stars dragon.
Why are you guys only aim for my students? And what's so special about Hikigaya for you guys anyway? Do you want a retard host?
"Exactly." replied Two Stars dragon.
"Are you nuts? There's no way we can fool that g—" said Seven Stars dragon.
"There's no need to fool him. We have to threaten him." said Two Stars dragon.
What?
"Since he is well aware that he used the power of Dragon Balls to alter these hosts' memories so that none of them will remember him. If he found out that he also the reason why these humans become our hosts and they have become our life substitutes then he will heed any of our commands if we use their lives to negotiate with him." said Two Stars dragon, smirked.
Is that so? I have suspected him before but I've never thought about this possibility. However, that still doesn't explain his transformation I've seen.
"Now that you've mentioned it, it's just as you said." said Seven Stars dragon.
"And consider it's him, he might be able to contain all seven of us on his own. That's wonderful." said Six Stars, smirked.
'As if I would let you guys do that' was the only thing I wanted to say but I highly doubt it could fix anything.
It's up to you, Hikigaya. Save your clubmates (and me while you're at it).

(Toppo POV)
Compare to other kinds of energy, energy of destruction is something Moro prefer to avoid direct involving so I have advantage. However, as Moro is a formidable villain, he won't let me has advantage for so long.
The bad thing is even if my power should exceed him, my speed isn't. He used every single moments where I'm far away from him absorbed energy from nearby planets.
The longer fight, the more disadvantage I get.
I can't just go around destroy planets so Moro won't have energy supplies left and that jerk Moro know that.
"What's wrong? Isn't god of destruction supposed to destroy things? If you're not hurry and destroy planets I will eventually surpass you, y'know?" mockingly said Moro.
"If that's the kind of person I am, Lord Belmod won't let me be his successor. And not to mention that neither Pride Troopers nor gods of destruction will destroy things out of such reasons." I said which Moro smirked at.
"Yeah yeah. Boring reasons fitted for an appetizer of justice." said Moro.
He's deliberately provoking me to no end.
Damn it. If only I was faster I swear I will destroy this scumbag along with his cocky mouth.
If I choose to use energy of destruction, he would use his ability to pull the nearby inhabited planets to shield himself, knowing that I can't afford to destroy them.
But using mortal ki wouldn't catch up to him either.
What a pathetic leader I am to even thinking something like this in the end.
Starting from the tournament, it's like we have to rely on him a lot.
For the sake of innocent citizens…
Jiren. Hurry up and come here. We can't afford to let more lives sucked by this scumbag of a villain than he already did.
Huh?
"Are you sure you should let me off of your sight?" asked Moro.
"Crap!" I said.
While I'm lost in my train of thought, Moro successfully gather quite a number of planets (mostly inhabited) and ready to throw them at me.
"Hide from them or destroy them as you see fit, appetizer of justice. If you could, that's it!" said Moro as he threw all those planets under his command at me.
"I WON'T LET YOU DO IT! HURYAHHHHH…!" I screamed as I pushed all those planet away through my ki and raw strength one after another.
Due to put all lives on those planets as top priority, I have to carefully deflect/stop their movements in order to minimize the risk and send them back to where they're coming from with care so I couldn't properly protect myself from planet-sized attacks that Moro rained on me.
But what worse is that some of the planets I managed to safely push them away fell under Moro's ability and rained on me once again. This process repeated itself multiple times before Moro stopped it.
My consciousness is about to lost as well as my strength.
"Oh my. I guess I'm too fired up this time. It would be bad if I've become too exhausted before getting a taste of my main dishes." said Moro.
"Curse… You… Mo… Ro…" was all I could uttered while having such a blurry vision.
"Now, now. Don't be so upset. I suppose I can take you as a dessert next time we meet as an apology then. Well, farewell." said Moro as he left.
How shameful of me. Being spared the life by the evil.
I glanced at my hand while laid down on the ground, beaten.
Tons of scar and bleeding. I can't actually remember the last time I got myself in such a mess before facing Moro.
"Toppo! Toppo!" shouted a familiar voice.
This voice. Jiren? You've finally came, huh?
"Toppo?" said Jiren, astounded.
"Jiren, I…" was the last thing I uttered while crying at him before all the consciousness left me.

While traveling toward Planet Salada, Ozotto met Hit.
"Found you." said Hit.
"And who might you be?" asked Ozotto.
"I'm not obligated to answer that question, especially when I'm doing my job." said Hit as he charged at Ozotto with his usual Time Skip.
Ozotto just happened to form glasses barrier in time the moment Hit attacks him at point-blank range.
"That's dangerous." said Ozotto.
"So you can really manipulate glasses." said Hit.
"Time Skip user. So you're the rumored Universe 6's assassin Hit." said Ozotto.
"Now that you know, all left is to die for me." said Hit as he attempted to murder Ozotto again.
"Really. Who the heck that hire you to kill me?" asked Ozotto while dodging Hit's attacks.
"Assassins don't reveal their clients." said Hit as he increased his speed.
"(Giggles) How cute your clients are. What are their offers really? How about I hire you to go kill those clients instead? I may not look like it but I can pay you more than them." bargained Ozotto.
"Unfortunately for you that not accept your offers is also the part of the job given by my clients." said Hit.
"I'd love to argue with you all days but I afraid I can't afford to die here. My ambitions being snatched from me too frequently already so I'll not allow any more interferences." said Ozotto.
With that, Ozotto started to take on Hit seriously.
"His Time Skip ability is definitely useful for capturing those dragons. I must win this fight and absorb him!" thought Ozotto.
(The East Neutral Universe)
While fighting each other, four people whose souls are that of Zamasu, have mutual thought to themselves.
"Just how long are we going to fight each other, seriously?"
(Monday)
In the morning, three figures appeared in front of Hikigaya Household and each of them fired ki blast at the house.
*Boom* x3
Hachiman teleported in time and deflected all the ki blasts. However, the deflected ki blasts exploded afterward cause the rest of Hikigaya household members to come out of the house to check at the same time.
"What's going o—Kyaaahh?! Ack?!" said Hachiman's parents and Komachi before they were blinded by Solar Flare technique and knocked out by Hachiman afterward.
"So you're finally wake up? Hikigaya Hachiman." said the tallest figure out of the three which revealed to be a possessed Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"I don't know who you are but show mercy on Hiratsuka-sensei, will you? Her chance of getting married is already low so don't decrease it even more by having her greet me with Caulifla's style good morning." said Hachiman.
In which Hiratsuka Shizuka's consciousness screamed "Shut up you shitty brat!" internally.
"So she's both Hiratsuka-sensei and not her at the same time. It would be much easier to deal with if they were just doppelgängers." thought Hachiman after read Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind.
While lost in his own thoughts, Yukinoshita and Yuigahama disappeared.
"I can't really tell whether you're really care for her or just looking down on us." said Hiratsuka Shizuka (possessed), irritated as she charged at Hachiman.
"He's totally looking down on us." said Yuigahama (possessed)
"It's obvious since he left the openings this much." said Yukinoshita (possessed)
*Swift*
"Eh?" x3
Three possessed women charged at Hachiman at the same time, aiming to capture him, but it turned out that what they have captured is literally a cubic Katchin which Hachiman instantly materialized it before teleported away from them.
"They're successfully hide their presences while I'm space out but ended up announced it anyway." thought Hachiman.
"Seriously, why do I have to deal with these retards in this early morning." quietly muttered Hachiman.
