Battle Across the Multiverse
"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place." ~Nora Roberts
Universe 13- The Demon Realm…
An X shape appears in the sky over a barren and hellish landscape with the sky around the X breaking like glass with Fuu and Korn flying through it. Korn laid his hands on Fuu flying him into the rocky ground breaking it up as they slid across the ground. Fuu looked disgusted at being touched by Korn giving him a fast right, knocking Korn off of him.
Korn back flips landing on the ground sliding back, giving Fuu an evil look with his dark red eyes. Fuu flew at Korn at breakneck speed striking him so hard across the face knocking him into another universe…
Universe 14- A divergent universe that is the original timeline and universe of Future Trunks on the ruinous planet Earth…
A portal opens up on the ground of a ruined city with Korn being uppercutted from the ground falling back into the ground. Korn quickly rolls back on his feet with Fuu leaping up racing toward Korn. As Korn was getting to his feet Fuu kicked him so hard he broke the dimensional barrier again sending Korn flying into another universe.
Universe 1- Core World…
Universe 1 is linked with Universe 12, creating a twin universe. Universe 1 is one of the four universes that have an average mortal level above 7 on Zeno's scale. Thus, its inhabitants, divine and mortal alike, were exempted from being erased, along with the inhabitants of Universes 5, 8, and 12. It is the universe with the highest mortal level.
Korn flew across the sky of the Core World with its inhabitants looking up hearing the breaking of the sound barrier seeing Korn fly across the sky with Fuu flying at him. Anato, the Supreme Kai of Universe 1 was standing among his people when he looked up, sensing an all too familiar kai looking up to see Korn and Fuu fighting in the air with his eyes going wide. Anato strongly resembles Shin, albeit with pink skin, green orange and light blue colored Supreme Kai outfit, and spikier hair.
"Korn? Impossible! That Saiyan shouldn't even exist let alone be here! And who is he fighting?" Anato said outloud. Fuu punched Korn into another universe with both of them disappearing.
Universe 5- Arak, Universe 5's God of Destruction's Planet…
In the sky Korn goes flying through the rapid firing ki blasts as he falls toward the surface while Fuu uses his sword to cut through ki blasts.
The Angel Cukatail is a humanoid with bright blue skin and white hair, which in case points backwards. Cukatail is quite large in frame with a broad jawline and a rather muscular build. Cukatail wears a black cuirass with shoulder pads and Universe 5's symbols, over a dark teal tunic girded with a yellow sash. Cukatail's staff's shaft is purple in color.
Cukatail looks to see Korn in a violent battle against Fuu who punches Korn again as they disappear into another Universe. Cukatail just narrows his eyes watching the scar between dimensions mend and disappear.
Universe 8…
Universe 8 is linked with Universe 5, creating a twin universe. The Angel of this universe's name is Korn. Korn is a tall humanoid with pale blue skin and white hair, just like the other Angels although he wears it short. He carries a long scepter with a gem that floats above it, he holds it in his left hand. Around his neck is a large light blue ring. His attire consists of brown robes, a black cuirass outlined in yellow, and a dark green sash.
Korn looks with a peaked interest to see the Saiyan Korn getting knocked around the sky with Fuu knocking them into another universe.
"Well isn't this an interesting turn of events." Korn said to himself.
Universe 15…
This Universe was created to show how different the universes could be. It is a strange universe with weak mortal levels and no noteworthy strong warriors. Like Universe 14 it is one of the future timeline universes and like Universe 14, Universe 15 clearly lacks your typical strong fighters spread across its worlds.
This is one of universes where Trunks never appeared, and therefore the apocalypse of the Androids occurred. The other two can be easily identified as Universe 12, where Trunks returned home safely as he did at the end of the Cell Games, and Universe 14, where Trunks never returned due to dying in Universe 17.
Korn falls out of the sky crashing into the ground. Fuu gracefully descends to the ground with the weaken Korn forcing himself to sit up wiping the blood from his mouth.
"Had enough?" Fuu asks, crossing his arms holding his sword and sheath in each hand.
"This ends with your death Fuu!" Korn yells out powering-up flying at Fuu.
Fuu smirks getting ready to cut Korn down but Korn counters by firing a ki blast into the ground kicking up dirt momentarily blinding Fuu then strikes him so hard he breaks the sound barrier sending Fuu flying and twirling across the sky. Korn flies next to him making a double fist and slams it in the chest of Fuu, sending him smacking into the ground.
Korn descended at a fast pace landing on the stomach of Fuu causing him to spit up blood. Korn then straddles Fuu so he can't get away creating two ki orbs he holds like small basketballs punching Fuu over and over again in a dark rage. Korn merges the orbs together, forming his ki barrier then slams it on the chest of Fuu with a large explosion going off.
Korn is flung from the dust cloud in his base form smacking across the ground battered, beaten, and broken. For several minutes Korn just lays on the ground before weakly pushing off the ground on all fours then painfully forcing himself up sitting on his knees covered in dust and blood. The dust cloud disperses with an angry Fuu rising to the sky with an insane look.
"Well it looks like you're spent. As much as I would like to continue this, I have more important things to do that require my attention. So I'll leave you here in Universe 15!" Fuu said in a mocking tone.
"This isn't over Fuu…" Korn said in a tired voice.
"What a disappointment. I thought you were stronger." Fuu said before using his sword to cut another X between dimensions and disappears leaving Korn all alone in Universe 15.
"Fuu!" Korn yells out before falling face first in the ground passing out from his injuries.
Six hours later…
Korn stirs awake weakly sitting up finding himself on a soft bed in a room with his arms, legs, and chest covered in bandages. Korn also wore knee long black cargo shorts. Korn looks around to see an alien elderly humanoid woman coming into the hunt while walking over to a pot over a fire. She appears to be an older woman with tan skin, white hair and a tail. She also wears a white cape.
"Who are you?" Korn weakly inquired. The woman approached with a mug and a cup pouring cold refreshing water in it. Korn eagerly reaches out to grab it and gulps it down.
"I am I'K'L's Mother." she told him. This didn't tell Korn anything.
"How long have I been out?" Korn inquired.
"Six hours, I cleaned and dressed your wounds after applying a healing solution to your body." she tells him. Korn sits up clenching and unclenching his fists.
"Thank you." Korn said tiredly, getting to his feet. I'K'L's mother motions Korn to the dinner table in the other room. Korn tiredly walks over taking a seat as she pours him some meaty soup from the pot over the fire.
"Here you must be hungry." she said in a caring voice handing him the bowl.
"Thank you." Korn said again as he began to scarf it down like a starving animal.
"You said your I'K'L's mother. Who is I'K'L?" Korn inquired.
"I'K'L, my son is an artificial lifeform that possesses the strongest battle power in this universe due to the Vargas selecting him to enter the tournament, though he was only born during the fifth round of the Multiverse Tournament, therefore he was disqualified due to being unable to participate in his match in the first round." I'K'L mother explained.
"I see, you were pregnant and couldn't give birth before the start of his match? What did they expect a baby to do? Were they serious?" Korn gave a baffled look.
"I'K'L's life mission is to eliminate everyone in the Multiverse Tournament and bring peace to all universes." she explained.
"Wow, that didn't work out now did it." Korn said tiredly, fishing his meal and handing her the bowl.
"My universe just suffered bad timing. I have more if you want some. Eat your fill." she insisted. Korn nodded and she got him some more meaty soup.
"What if your son was born on time, then what?" Korn inquired as he continued to eat.
"Almost immediately after being born, I'K'L transformed into a fully mature state, having somewhat feminine features, becoming taller and donning clothes akin to that of a superhero." she explained. Korn just stared at her blinking.
"Wow, just…wow what a strange universe this is. So what happened?" Korn asked as he continued to eat.
"Despite being a newborn entity, I'K'L is already fully mentally mature and has the intelligence and vocabulary of an adult. Since his birth, I'K'L has shown complete dedication to his life mission of destroying everyone in the Multiverse Tournament. Despite this dedication, I'K'L is not without remorse, as when Android 16 accidentally killed spectators and Android 17 and 18 seemingly killed Yamcha, he thanked them for "lessening his burden" she explained.
"Wait, I know those names…" Korn said, looking up at her.
"Yes, Universe 14, 15, and 17 can be classified as alternate future timeline universes. Alternate universes that were created when someone messed with time." she explained. Korn just sat there stunned.
I'K'L departed from Universe 15's apartment and announced his presence to the participants. Having everyone's attention, I'K'L explains his plan to annihilate every participant and spectator of the tournament, describing their power as too great to be allowed to exist. After a smug Vegito dares him to try, I'K'L stops time using magic and delivers a punch to Vegito, which breaks him in half. Now directing his attention towards Gohan, he is interrupted by Android 16 who is unaffected by his magic.
I'K'L starts to fight Android 16 but is interrupted again by Android 17, Android 18 and Yamcha, who are also unaffected by I'K'L's magic. Taking advantage of the situation, #18 attempts to kill Kakarot of Universe 13, but is stopped by Yamcha, who insists she focus on defeating the source of the magic.
I'K'L easily deflects #17 away and attempts to strike #18, but Yamcha intervened and protected her. Confused and surprised by the Android's hostility towards Yamcha, I'K'L was appalled when #17 and #18 seemingly killed Yamcha and proceeded to attack them. Punching Android 17 in the gut and kicking Android 18 away, I'K'L witnessed a battered Yamcha ascending from the rubble.
I'K'L is overpowered and then defeated by Yamcha. I'K'L admits defeat and the Android explains why he shouldn't fulfill his mission. Agreeing to this, I'K'L asks Yamcha to at least let him kill XXI, stating he read his mind, revealing that XXI's intentions were to devour all the universes I'K'L's Mother explains to Korn.
"It can be reasonably speculated that your son I'K'L is essentially the only being of significant strength in his universe. It is uncertain if a being like him exists in other universes as well. It can therefore be assumed that I'K'L is not particularly strong, as he appears to have been chosen more by default than anything…" Korn mutters to himself.
"Yes, I'K'L is the strongest being in existence." His mother stated.
"In this universe, but he is not here now is he? He is dealing with XXI and the conflict brought on by the Multiverse Tournament between those Universes. You guys are lucky you didn't have to deal with the Tournament of Power and the consequences of its aftermath." Korn told her to hold his bowl out to her for more soup.
"So what will you do now?" I'K'L Mother inquired.
"I appreciate your help but I need to get out of this universe and track down Fuu." Korn told her sucking down his third bowl then got up putting his fingers to his forehead closing his eyes. In Korn's mind he sees the planet he is on, then galaxies and finally the universe then nothing but blackness. Korn lowers his fingers frustrated.
"Something wrong?" I'K'L mother asked.
"With Instant Transmission I can teleport anywhere in this universe but not beyond it." Korn told her.
"You need the help of an angel to travel to different universes or at the very least a time ring to travel between the different timelines." I'K'L mother explained.
"I understand." Korn said.
"In the meantime get some rest. Afterwards we can decide what's the best course to help you get where you need to go." I'K'L mother suggested. Korn just nods.
"Thank you." Korn ate several more bowls before making his way back to the room with the comfortable bed and falling into it. Korn quickly fell to sleep with a full stomach and his injuries healing under his bandages and I'K'L's Mother healing solution.
