Chapter 7: Unexpected helpers
(Hiratsuka Shizuka POV, right after Hachiman left the earth with Cabba)
"Now what should we do?" I asked which earned "don't ask me" expressions from the three girls.
As expected, no response whatsoever.
Can't help it. Or you're saying everything that happened up until now completely make sense to you?
Now don't get me wrong, it's true that we all have witnessed everything so Hikigaya's story are more or less the truth, but that doesn't mean we can understand everything right away.
How can he fly without any wings? How can he fight like that? How did he obtain that strength? And more questions coming up.
Argh…! That such a pain. I've never be bothered with such things this much in my entire life!
Someone elaborate these bizarre stuff to me, pretty please.
Then all of sudden, someone appeared before us and three of us dumbfounded at his arrival.
*Swift*
Before us is a tall young man of muscular built with black hair. His hair is unkempt with three bangs hanging to the right of his forehead and two hanging to the left. His hair also stands up in the front with five spikes and four in the back. He wear an open orange gi secured with a blue sash-style obi over his waist, dark blue undershirt, red wristbands, and dark blue kung fu shoes.
Oh, handsome…
"Oh no, I'm too late. Cabba already left." said the mysterious man.
Is warping a universal trend or something?
Then the mysterious man turned to me and asked.
"Er… you there… Where am I?"
The previous one is so polite and brimming with manners, why does this one act like a country bumpkin?
"This is Jap—Mnn?!" said Hikigaya's sister and Yuigahama but stopped by me and Yukinoshita midway.
These airheads, I swear. What kind of aliens would know about Japan?
"This is earth." I replied.
"For real? But wait. If so then why can't I sense any of my acquaintances' ki at all?" replied the man.
The heck is 'ki'? Good grief, without Hikigaya, who could elaborate that to me?
But come to think of it, that Cabba guy also come here thinking that this is the earth he's looking for but realistically it isn't.
So this guy probably has the same problem. But there's one more problem; Is he an ally or enemy?
And in case if he's an enemy, without Hikigaya, how can we handle this guy?
Then a sudden loud beep and shout meet my ears.
"PLEASE MOVE! THE BRAKE IS BROKEN!" shouted a truck driver.
No. Please. Even though I have dreamed of going to Isekai world I still don't want that dream to come true this sudden. At least not when I'm young.
But then the man I'm talking to earlier jumps into the front of the brake-broken truck and stop it bare-handed like it is the most natural thing in this entire world.
Of course I'm really amazed by it. But giving the fact that I have witnessed Hikigaya's strength before really doesn't make the scene in front of me be that amazing.
However, the scene occurred in front of me is still too sudden to take in so my body couldn't help but on my knees and shaking heavily.
"U-um… thank you very much." I uttered.
Oh, I almost forgot my students. Where are theEEEEY?!
Yukinoshita, Yuigahama and Hikigaya's sister are all lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Oi Yukinoshita! Yuigahama! Hikigaya's sister! Pull yourself up! Are you okay?" I shouted and shook them.
"Erm… I think they're just passed out. Their kis are still remain without any loss so they should be alive." said our savior.
Again with the ki thing. But now I have to do something about these three.
"Pardon me but could you help me take these three to my home please." I asked.
"I'm in a hurry, y'know? I have to find Moro and defeat him real quick." was his replied.
I don't care about that Moro or any morons you're talking about, you moron! Also…
"What's the harm? You still have no idea how to do that right now either, am I wrong?" I said which he made a 'you're right' face in response.
What a moron.
"Anyway, what's your name?" I asked.
"Oh right, I'm (Ora) Goku. Son Goku. Nice to meet you." was his reply.
Even his name also sounded moron. Such alien does exist after all.
"I'm Hiratsuka Shizuka. Nice to meet you too." I said as him and I carried three sleeping beauties away.
Come to think of it, this could be the first time in a while for me to take a guy to my home.
(Sigh) Someone please marry me already.

(Narrator POV, Zamasu's part)
Original Zamasu and Super Saiyan Rosé Evolution Zamasu Black are now merged through Potaras and become Supreme Merged Zamasu.
And without Zamasu Black's presence, his alteration kis become ineffective and the manipulated Zamasus are back to normal.
"Ho… I can sense unbelievable level of ki from you. It would be wasted not use it for my plan." said alternative timeline Merged Zamasu.
It is just he said. The energy Supreme Merged Zamasu possessed is enough to butcher even someone like Jiren with ease.
"It would be wasted if I'm not using it to stop your sinful ambition, my counterparts." said Supreme Merged Zamasu.
After that, Supreme Merged Zamasu materialized a planet-sized rosé cocoon with vein-like bulges on it in an instant, confused his enemy counterparts.
The cocoon is now opened and Supreme Merged Zamasu moved to its center.
"What's that?" said alternative timeline Merged Zamasu as his clones thought the same.
"Although I'm not possessed that much of magic, I still have enough power to make up for it." said Supreme Merged Zamasu as he unleashed his ki all over the place and instantly covered the entire solar system he stayed in.
"Wha—? ARRRRRGHHHHH! WHAT IS THIS?!" said alternative timeline Merged Zamasu and his clone.
"Even I don't know how to describe. If following the mortal naming sense then this is Evil Containment Black Hole." replied
The ki released from Supreme Merged Zamasu flow back to him as if he's the center of the gravity that sucked in the ki like how black holes work and acted like Evil Containment Wave.
"Even you… able to use that?!" said alternative timeline Merged Zamasu.
"Not just that, you see. I can even create that cocoon." replied Supreme Merged Zamasu.
"Don't tell me that you… ARRRGHHHH!" groaned alternative timeline Merged Zamasu followed by his clones'.
Alternative timeline Merged Zamasu, after being reminded of cocoon, realized that the mysterious cocoon created by his alternate timeline counterpart is probably the same thing as the Sealed Ball that once sealed away Majin Buu in many million years ago, and this one probably enough to seal many powerful people away in one go judging from its size.
And the only way to undo the seal is to gather energy that enough to match the amount of the sealed people's combined energy with the same type of ki and then transfer them to the Sealed Ball.
However, with Supreme Merged Zamasu as the center of the Evil Containment Black Hole meant that he also attempted to seal not just his evil counterparts but also himself as well.
"Why…? What make you, my supposed counterpart, need go against my zero mortals plan this badly…?" asked alternative timeline Merged Zamasu.
Supreme Merged Zamasu closed his eyes and wryly laughed at himself.
"In my whole life, I have never care about humans, and no humans ever care about me. However, that's before met and merged with a certain one of them and eventually have my life saved by him. That's enough to make me ready to stay on his side." replied Supreme Merged Zamasu.
"That's a load of bu… ARRRRGHHHH!" groaned alternative timeline Merged Zamasu.
With the last clone sucked into the cocoon, Supreme Merged Zamasu reopened his eyes.
"Seal!" commanded Supreme Merged Zamasu.
"I wonder if I'm doing the right things. Gowasu-sama. Hachiman." thought Supreme Merged Zamasu.
With that last command, the cocoon is closed completely and become the completed Sealed Ball which require at least the amount of energy that high enough to make a Universe Seeds become its complete form.

(Dyspo POV)
Damn it all. If only I could go all out freely, dealing with this jerk wouldn't be this much of a pain.
"Do you like my battlefield, Dyspo-san?" sarcastically said Ozotto.
This bastard, I swear.
"Getting cocky, aren't you?" I said.
"C'mon, Dyspo-san. You've said that line over twenty times already. How about some other words?" provoked Ozotto.
I can't help it. This guy has strange ability that can control glasses and formed them into invisible sharp moving glass threads which already conquered the ground and keep Hit and I from leaving the planet.
"Oi, Hit. Don't you have any good ideas for defeating this guy?" I asked, ignored how pathetic I was for doing that.
"If you can make my strikes hit him even once then we might have a chance." replied Hit.
"How great. With speed that slow, luck is probably the only thing we can count on even with my help." I said.
But being too fast is definitely backfired since I couldn't move freely and even now Hit and I being constantly cut.
Although Hit can dodge them with Time Skip but that also increases his distance with Ozotto more and more.
I, on the other hand, rarely hit Ozotto even with this speed, and even if my attacks hit him, the amount of damage he took still too light to increase enough advantages for us to take him down.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!" I groaned in pain.
"Tch. Damn it." said Hit.
"It would be better if you guys just give up right away, wouldn't it?" said Ozotto.
Those damn glass threads still continually find the way to cut Hit's and my flesh every now and then.
Ah! Screw this! To hell with all these wisely approaches! Dead or alive, that's all I need to do!
"ARRRGGGHHH! Just do it!" I screamed which probably startled everyone.
I crazily sparked ki blasts and Circle Flashes at Ozotto without care about my own flesh like a berserker.
Ozotto and even Hit were caught off guard but still managed to get away from my attacks.
Look like it's work better than when I was cautious about those damn threads and its owner's power.
"Woah?! What a beast you are? Well, you do look one of them from the get go so not much surprised." said Ozotto.
"That sure is unexpected." said Hit.
Shut the hell up you two!
"Although I'm not fond of this method but I guess I have no choice but to play along." said Hit.
After that, Hit started to randomly punch all over the place at Ozotto's direction.
And then the sound of broken glass grew noisier and noisier.
"Woah, what a combination. Crazy attacks with crazy supports, eh? Interesting." excitedly said Ozotto.
I see. Hit used Shockwave attacks to create the openings for my crazily aimed attacks so that some of them would reach Ozotto. It wouldn't work before since my speed is hard to keep up with back then.
However, it's still a foolish and gambling kind of decision. If both of us run out of power and stamina first then we lost, but even if ours are inexhaustible I don't think we still be able to take down this monster either.
Not to mention that Ozotto's attacks and his damn threads are even fiercer than before in response.
Seriously, what should we do?
"Huh? Uwah?!" confusingly uttered Ozotto.
It worked! But wait. I don't remember that my attacks can be bounced back to hit my opponent.
"Who are you?" said Ozotto as he looked at someone.
He has red fur and wears a torn muffler, black gloves and red boots. His eyes are yellow. He has the appearance of a fox sporting long legs. Also, I couldn't sense his ki at all.
If I'm not mistaken, that guy is…
"Basil the kicker." replied that someone.
One of Universe 9's warriors. Why is he here?
"Wha—? What are you?" said Ozotto.
Someone caught Ozotto from behind without him conscious about it.
"Kaaaahh…!"
The one who caught Ozotto sprayed condensed purple mist right at his face before separating itself from him. After that, Ozotto's glass threads are constantly destroyed judging from what I heard.
And the one who ambush Ozotto has gold fur with a white muzzle and chest. He wears green pants with suspenders, and sports a slightly sadistic and deranged facial expression, though it is most likely to be fierce. His build is hunched-over and lanky, with seemingly abnormally long arms.
But the most important thing is that he's similar to a guy named Basil from earlier, not just appearances but also the undetectable ki.
"Damn it! My eyes! My face! They're poisoned!" groaned Ozotto.
"Universe 9's Lavendar and Basil." I said.
"Oi. Why don't you do something about this three eyes jerk already?" said Basil.
Oh yeah, I forgot. But it's look like I'm too distracted as Hit already got ahead of me and launched at Ozotto.
"Take this!" said Hit.
"Guwaaahh…?! You…!" groaned Ozotto.
Hit took the initiative and ambush the distracted Ozotto with one single heavy punch in the gut, making Ozotto disgorge something that look like an old man with green skin off of his mouth.
"Gross!" I blurted out instinctively.
However, this monster still…
"That was delightful. But still not a threat even a bit." said Ozotto.
What a tough shit he is.
"You've got to be kidding me. This is the best you can do after we grant you a chance?" said Lavendar.
"I wonder about that." replied Hit as he pointed his right arm at Ozotto's direction.
"I… can't… move…" said Ozotto.
Huh?
"I've already said before that one strike is all I need." said Hit.
(A/N: It's Time Prison Technique)
"I don't remember that is your Time Skip technique." I said.
"How about you finishing him off already or that monster will get his freedom back soon?" said Hit.
"O-oh yeah. Prepare yourself Ozotto." I said and unleashed every ounce of strength I have.
Now I'm in Super Maximum Light Speed Mode at its (currently) finest. With the densest Energy Blade, I charged at Ozotto with the highest speed ever caused my entire figure to pierce through his body and left a big hole in his chest.
"Guwaaahh…?! D-damn it!" groaned Ozotto.
But I'm not done yet. I cut Ozotto in hundred pieces and burnt every single of them with my ki blasts.
"It serves you right, Ozotto." I said.
Ah… that's refreshing. However,…
"Anyway, Hit. What did you… huh? Where was he?" I said.
Where is that guy go, really?
"The moment you give that guy a hole on his chest, he said something like 'my job is done' and then left." said Basil.
That guy. He just want to left the duty of helping the man Ozotto disgorged earlier to me. Really, as expected, I can never get along with assassin after all.
Oh, by the way…
"And why're you guys here? Did someone hire you to help us out?" I asked.
Basil and Lavendar deadpanned at me.
"Do we look like some goons who would accept such job? Don't lump us together with Hit." said Basil.
"We're in the middle of finding a person but being trapped on this planet by the jerk you just killed earlier." said Lavendar.
"So you just help me out in order to get rid of Ozotto to free yourself. That's Universe 9 for you." I said.
They're really as terrible as Hit, I swear.
"But who are you looking for? How does it relate to this universe?" I asked.
"Because that person is coming to your universe, that's why?" replied Basil.
"And since all the gods aren't around so double the difficulty." replied Lavendar.
"And who is the one you guys are looking for?" I asked.
"Big bro Bergamo." replied Basil.
I know that it sounded unlike what Pride Troopers supposed to say and do but…
"Unfortunately that I have no idea either, not to mention that this old man needed help so I afraid I couldn't help you guys. See you." I left together with the old man.
I swear I could hear "Who need your help?" before they're no longer in my sight.
I wished Ozotto is still there to kick their asses really, really hard.

(Narrator POV)
On Planet Salada, another evil ki possessor has arrived.
The Shadow Dragon possessors are surprised at first but then calmed down immediately.
"You're so freaking late." said possessed Kale.
"And here I thought you prefer someone amazing, look like you're still as incomprehensible as ever." said possessed Botamo.
"Let him be. Although his thinking process is so incomprehensible, the result he comes up with is always so like him." said possessed Saonel.
"I'm not give two shits about that. When the hell will we go butcher that jerk Ozotto?" whined possessed Caulifla.
"Probably when you can cool yourself down, Four Stars. By the way, One Star, aren't you going to say anything?" said possessed Pirina and turned his attention to the person in question.
The person in question has muscular-built, steel-blue-colored fur and wears a red scarf, bandages on both forearms, armbands on both arms, brown pants with a belt, and light brown shoes.
His general appearance resembled that of a humanoid wolf. But only his left eye's pupil does exist, the right eye's doesn't.
So basically, it's Bergamo but being possessed by One Star Shadow Dragon.
"Didn't you guys notice? That bastard's ki no longer exist. Doesn't that mean he's already dead?" said One Star as Bergamo.
After hearing that, the other Shadow Dragon possessors shouted in unison.
"WHAT?!"

(Hikigaya Hachiman POV)
"Sorry for the wait." I said.
"No problem, Hachiman-san." wryly said Cabba as all of us stepped out of the hyperbolic time chamber.
I don't even need my ESPer ability to see through that white lie bullsh*t, y'know?
You're too visibly restless the moment your potential is successfully unleashed (although you're already restless since the ritual part though) and still can't get out of this room because my own training isn't finished yet.
However I'm glad that he's reasonable enough to not whining out loud like a certain fight-addicted female Saiyan I really don't want to meet anytime soon even if she's being possessed.
Otherwise I might have to moan 'Why the hell do I have to listen to your damn whining when I have to not only polish my own abilities but also have to learn new techniques along while all you have to do is stand five hours and sit for twenty hours?' or something along those lines (but I still moan internally anyway since I have a feeling that I should switch places with him for some sloth reasons).
And the one that makes me learn the new techniques here is none other than this one person.
A god with pink skin and the same pointed ears as his other kin, as well as a Mohawk similar to Zamasu's but of a darker bluish color. His outfit consists of the shirt and trousers usually worn by Supreme Kais but without the regal tunic-like garment over the top. He wears an orange knotted cloth around his waist, as well as the same navy and yellow waistcoat and purple cape. Also, he has squinty eyes that normally seem closed until excited.
And he's the Universe 7's Grand Supreme Kai.
At first he's not supposed to be in the hyperbolic time chamber, or should I say as his current self.
The moment Cabba, Elder Kai and I entered this room, a certain person already there, sleeping soundly.
He has pink skin, an antenna on top of his head with three "steam holes" on each side. He is clothed in a purple cape, and a black vest with golden trims. He wears yellow gloves and boots with white baggy pants. He also wears a black belt with a golden belt buckle with the "M" mark.
After Cabba finished the ritual part of Elder Kai's doing, he's awakened.
Right after he saw Elder Kai, he somehow switched to Grand Supreme Kai, much to everyone's surprise.
But then out of nowhere, he forced me to learn his techniques immediately just because he could sense god ki from me.
And why didn't I refuse him? Well, that's because he can read my mind (but I couldn't read his), and the moment he realized that I was going to refuse, the Grand Supreme Kai such as himself, performed dogeza and pleaded me to accept it, and even said 'For the universe's sake'. Now tell me, what kind of scumbag demon I will be in case I refuse him at that situation?
(Sigh) It can't be help, isn't it?
Better kick those villains' asses real quick and headed home.
