A Wonderful Life

Chapter 58: Endurance
A/N: Hey guys! Just to let you know Chapters 21-24 have been updated, cause I had to do something in between writing chapters and quite frankly rewriting comes easier to me than writing from scratch. Anyway, enjoy!
Far from the reaches of death and combat, a former battle hardened warrior tries desperately to forget his past...
During the dead of night, Future Trunks awoke from his bed in a cold sweat. He felt a strong wave of unease and evil envelope him as though he was cursed to death. The lingering feeling of cold gripped at his heart as he jumped from his bed in a defensive stance, expecting the worst
"Why am I wearing my old jacket? I don't remember falling asleep with it." He realized, noticing the purple jacket sleeves. His hair felt much shorter too, and was he shorter too? It was like he was younger again
Now confused and clearly dreaming, Trunks lowered his guard but remained alert and vigilant, the ominous feeling of a lurking danger remained as though he was in the middle of a warzone, yet there was nothing around that properly told him so
"This is unsettling..."
With not many options the Half Saiyan walked out of his apartment room and made his way through the eerily still living room. Yet through the windows, in the far distance he spotted what looked like...a fire? How could he not've noticed!
"I have to help put it out!" He thought as he dashed out the door, only to see a horrific sight
Just as he slammed the door shut, Future Trunks turned to see that the fire was bigger, MUCH bigger than he realized. Entire buildings were collapsing under the heat of the flames and it was only now that the intensity of the heat could be felt, making Trunks sweat
"Look who's finally up. Sure took you a while huh?"
Trunks turned to see Android 17 leaning beside the wall. How he didn't notice him before was a mystery, but the most important part were his clothes, he wore the old Red Ribbon Army embedded black shirt with his original orange scarf and jeans. Without even trying the Android looked close to how he looked in the future
"17? What're you doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm having a little fun, starting with your stupid city."
"YOU did this?" Trunks realized, horrified. That's not the 17 he knew now, that's the one from his future!!
"Course I did," he smirked, "I wanted to see your reaction when you woke up. Sis even went off and prepared something for you. Just take a look."
Trunks turned to see a floating Android 18, smirking evily as always. But at the ends of both her outstretched arms were the unconscious bodies of his original mother, wearing her tattered lab coat and green sweater, and the Gohan from his era, still missing an arm but now bearing far more scars than he remembered, lots of them fresh
"Guess who I found~" She taunted. She saw as a fury built within the Hybrid Saiyan
"Let them go you rusted-" He yelled but was interrupted by a force wrapping around his neck, choking the last words out of him
"Not so fast, we haven't even come to the fun part..."
The voice of an Imperfect Cell sent chills down the boy's spine, his tail gripping further and preventing him from even breathing. Yet no matter how much Trunks clawed at the tail itself, it remained tightly wound over his throat like a snake
"They're right. The fun is only just beginning..." Perfect Cell joined in
Soon enough, the image of Perfect Cell floated menacingly from the sky, reveling in the sight that he bore witness to. Yet strangely enough Trunks was able to spot a green Potara Earring hanging from his earlobe, and a shiny silver ring glistening against the bright fire that seemed to get fiercer and hotter
"You've failed to protect that which you love most, only such empty promises can lead you here, in the clutches of your greatest nightmares." Cell Black monologued
"You ran away like a coward, which gave me the chance to see your mother die. And I enjoyed every ounce of fear she oozed before her demise." Imperfect Cell added as well
"Not you or any of your friends stood a chance against us." 18 remarked. "How were you going to be the one to stop us?"
"And most importantly, you'll never be able to fix this..." 17 finished, floating just in front of Trunks too
As the young boy's vision began to darken and his heart began to slow down, he could see that both Cell Black and 17 prepared two basic ki blasts aimed at the vulnerable and helpless Trunks
The attacks were shot out, enveloping Trunks in a blinding light that finally filled him with the empty and painful feeling of death...
"Gah!!"
Trunks yelled out loud upon his awake, feeling sweet roll down his cheeks and the the faint glow of his Super Saiyan form. The window had yet to illuminate with light, signaling that it was still very dark out
The scarred warrior huffed as he clenched his chest tightly, feeling his heart race a million miles a second. He tried his best to calm down, but the adrenaline in his body was still in full affect as though he were in an active battlefield
"That wasn't like any of the others." He commented. He wasn't prone to nightmares per se but it wasn't often that he woke up in a nervous sweat, even his white tank top was wet in the chest area
"I haven't transformed in my sleep in a while either..."
For a while Trunks sat by himself, huffing tiredly as he felt his heart settle little by little and his Super Saiyan form finally give. But after that while Trunks was wide awake, still feeling the sheer shock of the nightmare
He shifted over to the side of the bed and saw his alarm clock. It was nearly three in the morning, and he also remembered that he didn't have work for the day again, and even if he did they wouldn't mind him disappearing for a day. A perk for being the son of the most powerful woman in the world
"I have to do something..." He thought as he got up from bed and headed for the shower, deciding to start his day fresh
Much later, Flying far above the partially illuminated West City was the figure of Future Trunks, admiring the night lights of the city. The warrior decided to go out and see the city. In order to distract himself he even visited bits of the city he didn't see often. A coffee shop, a restaurant, a drive through, all in the span of a few hours. It was both to fill his stomach gradually and to see the city for what it was, like a normal person
"It's so wonderful to look around. It's been a while since I've gone out on my own." He thought, taking a sip of the bitter black coffee in his hand, feeling the taste of the coffee shake away more of his sleep deprivation
The future warrior couldn't help but look back on his own timeline and what it looked like, constantly cloudy, worn and distraught. He wasn't there to see through the reconstruction of the cities like Gohan had, and even then he wasn't sure that they would ever look as good as this
"If only I hadn't lost my nerve. Maybe I would've been able to recreate my world just like this."
But without intending to his mind flashed through his repressed memories. The bloodied clothes of his mother laying in the ground, his master laying dead in a puddle of water in the rain. In thinking these things he gripped his styrofoam cup a little more, crushing it and watching the hot cup spill out of it
"Crap!" He exclaimed, drinking some of the overflowing coffee and shaking his burned hand to dry
The reason Trunks left his own timeline was because there wasn't anything left for him there. He just...didn't have the strength to support himself alone, as well as oversee the production of Earth. His only hope were the Namekian Dragonballs, but not only were they hard to find but who knows how much they could fix by the time he reached them. He could rebuild the cities...but his friends and family would've been long since dead
"Was there nothing I could do?" He thought, thinking back to Cell Black. The Gohan of the other timeline was strong, enough to compare with his father and Goku even, but even so he wasn't strong enough. His Super Saiyan form was all he had, and that wasn't enough to compete with Black
"If I had stayed, I would've died to Black had he decided to become evil in my timeline..."
But there was a sudden passing of thought, one that seemed unlikely at first until he thought more, rationalizing it
"Did he come from my timeline?!"
Black and his ability to time travel could mean that he came from another timeline than Gohan's and even so it didn't rule out the possibility of him traveling to his instead. His defenseless...ravaged world... The horrific thought made Trunks' heart skip a beat. It sounded like a crazy theory, but not unlikely. Since his own timeline was connected to this one, maybe it wasn't that hard to believe that his was also connected to Gohan's
Trunks head began to hurt a little, jumping to too many conclusions put a strain on his mind and heart. It wasn't certain that this was true, so there was no need to worry so much. But even so, the idea of Cell Black destroying every remaining trace of his world made him uneasy
As Trunks was full of thought he saw the sun slowly rise from the horizon, lighting up the dim sky and turn it from a dark blue to a bright, shining orange instead
"That's...so beautiful."
Trunks' admiration of the Earth nearly distracted him from the time, now realizing that it was around the hour his family awoke and began their days
"I should stop by and take Prestina somewhere, maybe that could help with my uneasiness." He thought as he downed what was left of his coffee and flew over to Capsule Corp. It took a little bit, but in no time Trunks spotted the building of Capsule Corp from high above the air, but he was also able to spot something strange
"Is that the Time Machine?" He thought, seeing the bright yellow and blue machine parked inside of the building's backyard. But upon further inspection he realized something was wrong. He could sense the waning energies of Goku and his dad inside, worryingly weak and near untraceable
"No..."
Trunks rushed towards Time Machine in a hurry, a gripping feeling inside of his stomach took hold as he flew into the backyard and peaked inside of the glass. As he expected the unconscious, damn near dying, bodies of Goku and Vegeta laid limp inside of the cockpit
"Oh my Kami..."
It didn't take long for Trunks to rouse the rest of the Dragon Team, beginning with his mother who was nearly about to wake up from her alarm. Shock and worry coursed inside of them as they treated the injuries and contacted the more immediate members of the team
Soon Beerus, Whis and Gohan rushed into Capsule Corp to hear what was going on. The Majin sisters and Teen Trunks joined too, wandering into the medical room out of worry and curiosity
As for 21, the scientist woman used Instant Transmission to appear far above the City, arriving for work. She learned from her past mistakes and woke up an hour earlier than usual so that she could prepare her breakfast, since Cell wasn't able to make anything before he left
But to her surprise, she scanned the city below to find a lot of the Z Team inside of Capsule Corp, huddled together around two faint ki signatures
"Weird, is something going on?" She thought as she decided to skip past signing into the office, teleporting inside of the building just outside of the room the group was in
When the Android excused herself she was met with everyone standing around the injured Goku and Vegeta, who were awake and covered head to toe in bandages
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Cell Black kicked our asses is what happened." Vegeta growled, rubbing his sore chest in pain. Without the normal effectiveness of the Senzu Pills Bulma had to pump them full of painkillers and other drugs, enough to make several elephants numb even
"How could the two of you let this happen?" Beerus scolded them harshly. He was just one person that even Cell could kick around
"That's an easy question my lord," Whis replied, "using the Time Ring Black must've traveled through time to train, it's the only logical explanation for his growth. In the time that we haven't seen him, he grew twice as strong as our most powerful fighters."
"That can't be!" Chocolata exclaimed. "Can he really grow in such a short amount of time?"
"I'm sorry to say this but it's true." Gohan answered. "Saiyans can grow much faster than any other race around. And with Cell's body, there's no telling how much he's grown."
The truth was quite scary for the group. Cell himself could grow exponentially after recovering from battle, and with only a year of training he unlocked Frieza's Golden form and made it his own. One could only imagine how much Black grew in strength, maybe even surpassing him
"Wait, and where is Cell?" 21 asked
"And Gohan?" Trunks added
"They stayed behind to ward Black off while we recovered." Goku informed, shocking everyone. Gohan AND Cell stayed behind?! That's suicide!!
"And there's more. When we found another version of Zamasu, but he used the Dragonballs to make himself immortal."
The rest of the group was frozen with shock and worry by the statements. Cell Black was stronger? There was a Zamasu that was immortal? And Gohan and Cell were left all alone with them?!
"This is trickier than I thought." Beerus stated. "Looks like I'll have to step in and kill them both myself. A shame, you and your friend were really brave in making such bold claims." He directed towards Trunks, who knew the real implications of that
"S-surely you and dad can recover and try again?" Trunks panicked
"I don't know if we can, he's just too strong. If anything, throwing ourselves again would be a terrible idea." Goku solemnly explained. It pained him to say it too
"But if we don't do anything then Beerus will kill Gohan!" Trunks thought, sweating bullets
"This can't be it, this can't be how my son dies!" Vegeta thought angrily as he stood up and faced Beerus
"No matter what happens, if you lay a finger on my son! I'll-"
Before Vegeta could finish Beerus poked Vegeta in the chest with such speed that no one could even remotely react to it. Before they knew it Vegeta was gasping for air, the wind leaving his lungs
"I've had enough of the defiance." Beerus growled, holding a ball of ki over Vegeta and causing everyone to freeze in place. "If I have to go to the future and fix a mess that you claimed you could handle, I will see to it that you, your son and the boy from the future are erased."
Silence and utter fear enveloped everyone around. The team was stuck in a corner, either they find a way to kill two gods themselves, or Beerus kills three of their friends
"I believe I have a solution."
Upon hearing his Angel assistant Beerus dissipated his attack, but remained looming over Vegeta as he meekly rose to his feet
"Your Earth has a room called the Time Chamber does it not?" Whis asked, making everyone nod in response. "Though I'm not sure about the progress you can make in a day, I have the ability to create my own pocket dimension that's much more powerful than that of your Time Chamber."
"What?! How come we never knew this?" Goku exclaimed with excitement and surprise
"Because as of yet you still haven't fully mastered control of your new forms. In fact, when you fought Lord Beerus your powers were mere imitations of the power that was first displayed months prior. When you transformed the first time the Universe itself shook twice, even I noticed it. But when you fought Beerus it hardly moved." He explained, surprising the team. They were supposed to be stronger?!
"Without proper control of your ki, you would disappear almost immediately in my pocket dimension as it crushes you with the pressure of God Ki. All of which is the exact reason why I've been honing your ki control."
"Does that mean we can train inside of it!"
"Hardly. Even so, it's your lives or..."
"Wait, I have the solution!" Bulma exclaimed as she bursted out of the room
After a while the blue haired woman came back with a pouch of tiny pills, a hefty amount for any normal person
"I made these!" She stated, opening the pouch full of micro red pills and giving one to each Saiyan. "They're experimental, but they should be hundreds of times more potent than the original Senzu Pills. But please, only use them when you're at deaths door for maximum effectiveness."
When the two Saiyans took the pills they were surprised when their wounds were healed and their bodies returned to full capacity. Yet there was more to it than just that, their bodies were almost supercharged in a way. An electric energy coursed through their veins making them huff out of pure excitement and adrenaline, like children that drank coffee for the first time. They weren't just at one hundred percent, they were at one hundred and twenty percent!
"Wow, I feel so...energetic!" Goku said, shaking his arms out of excitement and ripping the bandages to reveal a few scars, an effect from their bodies healing normally for some time."
"Is there a chance that these would stop being useful after some time?"
"I'm not too sure, these red pills are equal to a hundred of the green ones and then some, so I still can't say for sure."
"We should really start asking Korin for some spare Senzu Beans anyway, just in case." Gohan suggested. Ever since the Senzu Pills were made the godly Cat was able to store the spare Senzu Beans for extra meals in between. Sadly, asking for more in such short notice would not only be rude but hardly possible since they take ample time to grow
"Hm, quite ingenious. With these it's possible to force them to the conditions of the pocket dimension."
"Then what are we waiting for? I'm dying to know this training ground." Vegeta exclaimed with a smirk and two clenched fists, even he couldn't help but feel excited with the drug
"Ever the inpatient ones." Whis complained lightheartedly as he smiled. Saiyans truly were a rare breed, getting WAY ahead of themselves. "Alright, follow me. They'll be out in a day's time, though they'll experience a few month's training."
With that the Angel and the Saiyans left the room, the latter two were twitching with excitement and energy. They didn't know just what they were getting themselves into
"And what about the Time Machine? Is it good for another trip?" Future Trunks asked
"Not at the moment, I need to take another day to create enough fuel for another two way trip." Bulma responded, making everyone sigh
"Well then if that's the case, my attention goes elsewhere. But you know what will happen should they fail." Beerus pointed at Future Trunks, who was sweating due to the God's glare
Inside of an alternate plane there existed a dimension of impossible proportions. A humble looking bright blue landscape of pure energy existed through the will of an Angel, held together only by Godly ki
When the owner of the dimension arrived with his two guests, both Goku and Vegeta were immediately frozen in place by the sheer force of energy they were surrounded by. In order to even breathe they were forced to transform into their most powerful states, and even then their movements were akin to shifting in mud
"Gah! This...burns!!" Goku exclaimed, trying to grip his chest and breathe the strange form of air that almost tore his lungs with every inhale
"As I said this dimension is made from the purest form of Godly Ki for the purposes of training. Lord Beerus spent centuries training here when he was but a fledgling God."
With no warning Whis appeared before Goku with mischievous intent. "Now since we're in a hurry...your training begins now."
Whis only barely poked Goku in his stomach, but in doing so the Saiyan felt the pressure of the sun itself hitting him hundreds of times over. He gasped as he lost his God form, now floating in the air unconsciously
Vegeta lunged after Whis with the speed of a turtle, giving the Angel ample time to turn around and jab the Prince in the stomach with his thumb. Vegeta too lost his Primal form and coughed up a slew of blood
"This will time quite some time..." Whis sighed, summoning the pouch of red Senzu Pills into his hand and flicking a pill into his student's mouths. Almost immediately they reawakened with their Godly and Primal forms again, huffing. Already their bodies felt lighter, but only slightly
"In less than a minute you've already lost consciousness. I'm quite disappointed." Whis lectured sternly, taking on his defensive stance
"Again."
As the two Saiyan train to achieve heights far greater than their original, the power of the Time Traveling Imposter was still to be fully realized
In the dark and gloomy future the biggest and most powerful battle was taking place. The God Cell Black was fighting the original holder of his current body. Beside them the Immortal Zamasu pursued the warrior of hope Gohan and his two pink allies
The largest of the two fights was surprisingly even. Although Cell's power could trump that of Frieza's, Cell Black had somehow managed to achieve the exact same power by a different form. As both fought, took injuries and grievous wounds their power only grew and molded to the pain they endured, adapting near infinity
"So you were able to harness my body, I'm surprised you listened!" Cell taunted as he threw a quick assortment of jabs, kicks and ki blasts, all of which missed their mark
"He's learned how to grow from every wound like me. For every punch he takes he throws a stronger one, and the same goes for me."
"Of course! I've learned how to make all of your pain my own!" Cell Black declared as he dodged another punch and began throwing his own attacks, all missing their marks as well
In the sidelines, the survivors struggled to fight against Zamasu and his power. Buu, Prestina and the Cell Jr. were all far weaker than the God, but each had their own forms of regeneration that kept them in the fight. Gohan on the other hand was nearly close to Zamasu in terms of power, but his regeneration more than made up for the fact
Zamasu dashed after Majin Buu with his Ki blade at hand and slashed through his body like paper, but every piece of rubbery skin that floated molded to become several miniature versions of Buu
"What?!" The God exclaimed, taken aback by the God killer's ability. Even though he was far weaker than he, he just wouldn't die!
"Ha ha! You can't catch Buu!" All of the Buus taunted simultaneously, jumping around the Kai playfully
In the God's confusion, Cell Jr. jumped in front of his face like the child it was. "Boo!" It shouted as it brought it's hands to the sides of its face
"Kie!!!"
With no warning a blinding white light shone onto Zamasu's eyes, blinding him as they burned
"Gah!! You mortals dare make a fool of me!!" The God shouted as he rubbed his eyes. As he did so he was rained upon by a sea of ki blasts in all directions, none of which hurt in the slightest
"The others are distracting him enough as is." Gohan said outloud, floating from a distance away as he watched the Kai get humiliated by two people
Beside him, the Majin Prestina floated too. Rather than throw herself into the heart of the combat and risk getting hurt, she instead timidly remained distant from the rest, only intervening to supply her healing magic when necessary
"I didn't think that they were so powerful." Prestina stated solemnly. "If I had realized what I'd get myself into, I wouldn't have bothered Cell with coming here. I'm just getting in the way..."
"That's not true. You've been a great help in my fight. Without you and the others I'd be dead by now." Gohan assured her
"She's far less confident than the other version of Cell. I guess being with Trunks and the others helped her grow."
"Oh, thank you. I'm Prestina by the way, I don't think I introduced myself."
"I'm Gohan, you could say Cell is a friend of mine."
"Really? So you come from another reality too?" She asked, stunned
"Er, no that's not it. I'm from this world, the world you see underneath us." He explained, motioning to the rubble below them. "I brought Cell with me along with two others from another timeline to help me take back my world. But with the other two gone, it's just me and him now, until my friends come back again."
"Wow...I didn't know..."
"It's alright, after all is said and done, maybe I could rebuild my home planet. It'll take time, but it'll be worth it in the end." Gohan hoped, faking a smile to cheer Prestina up
"Oh, I see. Well, I wish you luck with that." Prestina smiled. As much as she wanted to help him too, she was preoccupied with their current battle, if they made it alive. And she still wanted desperately to see her family again
"Speaking of which, I didn't know you were even here to begin with. Did Cell wake you and Buu up?"
"Yes, he did. I'm not too sure how or why, but he woke us up and sent us on our way home with his son. But...I wanted to pay him back by helping in any way I could, so Buu and I returned."
"I didn't know that." He stated, looking back at Cell and Cell Black in the far distance
"So he's not as evil as I thought." He realized. "It's almost like Trunks said, he's a victim of circumstance."
He stared at the battle with an analytic expression. It's been well over two hours since they started and neither Black nor Cell have gained any advantage at all. If anything, both of their powers grew at the same time. It was worrying for Gohan, but all would change if Goku and Vegeta were to return in time
"Who knows how long we'll be in this stalemate. But all we can do is hope to last long enough."
"Don't turn your backs on me!"
Gohan whipped around to see Zamasu charging after him and Prestina with his blade at the ready, behind him were the injured Buu and Cell Jr. covered in gashes. How could they've been so distracted!
Prestina took a slash across her chest and a powerful punch as well, launching her to the ground violently and horrifically. Next came Gohan who was about to receive a slash to his arm...
Suddenly, a ki blast from the sidelines pushed Zamasu away, preventing him from cutting off Gohan's right arm. The God was sent flying a great distance away from his opponent as the attack detonated a ways away
From the sidelines, Cell had teleported into range and shot Zamasu, covering for Gohan's distraction
"Focus!" He lectured before he was gutted by a fist resembling his own
"I could say the same for you." Cell Black stated, throwing Cell away and giving himself a temporary advantage
"Damnit!!" Gohan yelled, racing down to the ground to see the wounded Prestina inside her own crater
"Are you okay?!"
Tears flowed down Prestina's face as she gripped her petite chest. She wasn't conditioned at all for fighting, and her chest felt as though it had been punctured. Which it was, but her body's healing sealed the hole and the gash, leaving two piercing feelings in her stomach
"I'm-I'm fine." She cried. "Keep...keep fighting."
Enraged in both himself and Zamasu, Gohan refocused as he raced after the Kai."I can't get distracted, not now!!"
"What?!"
Suddenly, the God received a brutal punch to the cheek and then a quick sideswipe from a leg to send him crashing into the debris below. Immediately afterwards he was swarmed by a barrage of ki attacks coming from the angered Gohan
"I have to win, no matter what!!" He thought as he relentlessly sent attack after attack, not letting up for a second
Elsewhere, Prestina tried her best to set aside her pained emotions as she stood from the debris. Outwardly she seemed intact, but inwardly the biting feeling in her chest remained. She wasn't used to pain at all, and especially not a blow that could've well killed her had she not been a Majin
"This hurts...this hurts a lot. But...I can take it!" She declared to herself, painfully flying into the air and after the fallen Buu and Cell Jr.
"I can do my part, to keep this fight alive! I can help!" She declared as she raised her two hands and used her healing powers to restore Buu and Cell Jr. to full health, at the cost of all her energy
When the two awoke they saw Prestina laying in the ground, dizzy and nearly unconscious
"Don't worry about me...I'll be fine." She huffed, laying down onto the ground and resting
Ahead of them, Gohan fought off Zamasu as he advanced in his offensive. While Gohan could hold his own, The Kai had the advantage in both power and durability. As Gohan blocked the assault a stray punch landed on his chest
Frustrated Zamasu brought out his blade once again to slash Gohan, only to be met with a metal sword wielded by non other than Videl
"Hey! Hands off!" She yelled as she twirled in place and slashed Zamasu in the chest, giving Gohan the chance to counter attack with a ki attack
"Videl? What are you doing here?"
"Mai and I found a good spot to hide a city away, so I came back with these." She explained, holding a small bag of Senzu Pills
"Give one to Prestina over there, she's in critical condition." Gohan said, pointing to a faint pink figure in the distance
Wasting no time Videl flew after the woman and landed right next to her, the slim pink girl with strange cloths and a few bruises was lying nearly unconscious in the ground, exhausted
"Sis?"
"Nope, just here to help."
Videl fed the Senzu Pill and watched as Prestina opened her eyes fully and rose from the floor, better than ever
"That was amazing! What are they?"
"They're Senzu Pills, they restore you to full health when you eat it." She explained before she held out her hand as a formal greeting. "I'm Videl, a friend of Gohan's."
"I'm Prestina, friend of Cell."
"Cell has friends?" Videl thought before she looked at both battles that were raged, Cell versus himself, and Gohan and two others against Zamasu
"These powers are so insane...it's hard to imagine how I'm supposed to help." Videl sighed, feeling powerless compared to the others, even Prestina was strong in her own right
"...I've learned that the best way is to do what we can."
Videl was almost stunned to hear her say that. It was almost encouraging to know that someone hundreds of times more powerful than her felt the same way, though it didn't do much for their situation at hand
Even if all she had were the Senzu Pills, she'll have to use them to the best of her ability
"Right...let's do what we do best then!" Videl stated, reinvigorated into action
With that the two girls flew into the fray yet again, ready and willing to continue fighting
No matter how long it would take...
A/N: Hey again guys, happy Easter! So as much as I keep repeating it, I truly am sorry that these chapters take so long to come out, since this story has been moving too slowly as of late. Aside from school I've also found many other things in my life that call my attention, so it really feels like I've neglected this story. But while I was gone, I've updated Chapters 21-24 with a more updated writing style and more grammar corrections. Chapter 24 took a huge change, adding more context and actions that were missing from the original that I feel make it twice as good!
Also also, I have another new story in the works based on Villain Deku! Check it out if you're interested. I'll split my time between this story and that one, but with a fresh idea and a new motivation I'm sure that my writing will take more precedence than anything else. In fact Chapter 59 is already in the works!
With that, I'll see you all next time!
