Korn vs Peppa:
The Dark We Carry
"Be careful with your words. Once they are said, They can only be forgiven, not forgotten." ~Unknown
"Peppa." Korn called over to him. Peppa turns his head toward Korn.
"During the Tournament of Power when I lost my tail I was angry and I blamed you. I shouldn't have tried to bind you while you were the Golden Oozaru." Korn told him. Peppa turned and faced Korn, giving him a dark look.
"No, it's good you did, if you hadn't I wouldn't have become a Super Sayian 4." Peppa corrected him.
"Still, I shouldn't have left you in that three on one." Korn said shamefully.
"No, you shouldn't have. Even though I won, I was eliminated and therefore could not assist you guys against Anilaza." Peppa scolded Korn.
"I know and we couldn't beat him." Korn said shamefully letting it sink in what his failure has cost him. Their home, their family, the Kamikaze Fireballs, and their whole Universe 2 flashed in Korn's mind.
"That's right, had you not abandoned me I would have been in that fight with you guys and we could have used the Potara Fusion to beat Anilaza and Jiren." Peppa scolded Korn wanting to pour salt on that emotional wound and make Korn suffer, blaming him for losing and what they lost in the process.
"You would have consented to do the fusion even though you hate it and said never again regardless of the situation?" Korn reminded Peppa who gave a nasty look to Korn.
"I never dreamed we would be in a situation like that! Also with the threat Anilaza and Jiren neither one of us would able to beat them on our own! I would have made an exception!" Peppa yelled at Korn.
"I see…" Korn was silent.
"If it was just death I would say screw you and the fusion but not only was our existence on the line, our whole universe…EVERYTHING was on the line! I would have done whatever it took to win and continue to exist! Even consent to the stupid fusion with you!" Peppa told him in a violent and angry tone his power growing within him.
"Then why didn't you consent earlier when I asked during Kale's rampage?" Korn inquired. Peppa just stared at Korn like he was the dumbest person on the planet. The answer should have been obvious.
"It was early in the tournament you idiot! If we had used up all our time as Kopa getting rid of the early game trash we would not have had time to refuse later. So it was best to save it for Jiren or a situation like Anilaza! I would have consented then you numb skull because Kopa would have been a guaranteed win with especially how powerful we got throughout the Tournament of Power!" Peppa explained.
Korn was struck speechless; he should have known Peppa had an endgame plan. Throughout the Tournament of Power Peppa never lost sight of the goal of winning the tournament and proving he was the strongest, or doing whatever it took to win.
Korn choked when it came to defeating a universe's final warriors and being responsible for the erasure of an entire universe. He became angry and depressed when he lost his tail, he turned on Peppa and tried to bind him, then abandoned him during the three on one. Then failed to lead the remaining Kamikaze Fireballs to victory against Anilaza. Korn realized then and there their loss and erasure was on him, it was his fault.
"Your right cousin, it's all my fault. Our loss and erasure is all on me." Korn said with despair in his voice.
"That's right! And because of you I'm stuck in this Prison World having to fight for someone else's sick amusement. Of all the people to keep getting paired up with and stuck with I'm constantly stuck with you! You have grown soft and weak like those righteous Saiyans of Universe 6 and 7. I have always hated you, but at least you had my respect when you were evil. But you have gone soft and touchy feely! You make me sick!" Peppa spat at Korn.
"I should have killed you long ago." Korn said in a dark tone
"But you didn't. You needed me. You always need me. Even though you were stronger you lacked the confidence to be by yourself. As long as you were stronger you thought you could control me. I just binded my time till I became stronger then you so I can kill you and be done with you once and for all." Peppa said in a wrathful tone.
"Then why haven't you done it then?" Korn mocks.
"Because you were stronger and we kept getting into situations fighting opponents far stronger then us, like Cousin Saltz and her evil saiyan army, Good King Winter, his brother Blizzard, Their father King Ice! The remnant of the Tuffles! The Saiyan of Legend Garlick, Meji Zuu, the Tournament of Power! Take your pick!" Peppa scolded hatefully toward Korn.
"Then why team up with me if you hated me so much!" Korn spat back.
"Why else? Why do I team up with anyone? To ensure my survival!" Peppa said yelling out and powering up to his ultimate saiyan state with the clear aura, with white lighting sparking off his body with the increased muscle and spiky and sharp raven black hair with two long bangs hanging in front of his right sided face.
"I see the enemy of my enemy is my-" Korn went to say when Peppa cut him off.
"My ally! Then when they are no longer useful or become too much of an annoyance I get rid of them. I used that old fat Guru on our universe planet Namek to unlock my full potential then killed him so he couldn't unlock yours or anyone else's in exchange so I can beat Good King Winter!" Peppa said in a wrathful tone.
"I became a Super Saiyan for the first time and defeated Winter after you tried and failed." Korn reminded him.
"But you didn't kill him! Because you're weak! I killed him and destroyed the planet in Hopes to kill both you and him so I can rule our house!" Peppa revealed.
"I know." was all Korn said.
"Just like I killed your friends once I became a Super Saiyan God so no other saiyan would learn how to obtain that power. Then once Garlick killed you I would have dealt with Garlick and been the only Super Saiyan God in our universe but Garlick proved too powerful to control so you were needed." Peppa revealed to Korn's shock.
"I should have known you were lying when you said Garlick killed them. Garlick was a righteous saiyan trying to rid the universe of evil saiyans but you branded him an evil saiyan and the leader of the evil saiyans to save our cousin Saltz the true leader of the evil saiyans and the kinslayer of our family!" Korn yelled out.
"That's right." Peppa laughed evilly.
"I don't understand you. Saltz hates you and wants to kill us, yet you save her and pick her side time and time again. You even defeated and captured her. You were the one who imprisoned her to avoid her from being killed by the avenging saiyans of our family! If I didn't know any better aside from your mother, Supreme Kai of the West Nishi, and my niece Celeron, I would say Saltz was the only person you actually cared about! You hate me and you were no friend to Garlick. In fact he wanted to kill you. I stopped him time and again from killing you!" Korn argued.
"SHUT UP! I AM PEPPA POOLE! I ONLY LOVE ME AND I STAY STRONG FOR ME!" Peppa powered-up more.
"Oh yeah? You only love you? Then look me in the eye and tell me you don't care about your mother, Celeron, Saltz, Nishsi, and Ribrianne? Tell me Peppa that they don't matter to you and that they are just mere tools for you to obtain your objectives!" Korn demanded.
Peppa just stared at him clenching his fists tightly. His eyes glowing a dark yellow color before he lets out a monstrous roar, his clear aura shooting high into the sky as his voice becomes distorted with the image of a golden Oozaru flashing before Korn. Korn stepped back, feeling Peppa's monstrous power and his malicious rage.
Peppa lowered his hands, opening his eyes with an evil and homicidal look gleaming from those dark yellow eyes. Ultimate Ikari, Like Broly in the Super timeline and Garlick from their universe who found out how to unlock the power of Oozaru without transforming into the great ape. This wrathful state was dubbed Ikari and was the precursor to Super Saiyan 4 which is the true Irkari 2. The hidden technique Peppa learned from Garlick just like he learned Instant transmission from the Yardrants and stole various techniques from the Pride Troopers and the Kamikaze Fireballs to make him a more prolific killer.
The Ikari state was an already dangerous nigh uncontrollable form stripping the saiyan of most emotions and replacing it with the instincts, bloodlust, and rage of Oozaru bleeding into their personality. What made it worse is with Peppa stacking this state on top of his Ultimate Saiyan form which brought out not only his full potential but it also brought on the full potential of Peppa's Oozaru form all contained in his enhanced base form which already rivaled a Super Saiyan Blue/Rose as a Super Saiyan 4 he was a cut above them and possibly on par with base Jiren.
Korn powered-up to Super Saiyan Rose, his strongest form taking a fighting stance knowing he will have to go all out against Peppa if he was going to survive this fight and get out of here. Peppa tilts his head with an evil grin.
"Korn, I'm going to kill you and take that Dragon Ball. Then I'm going to kill the other prisoners and take their Dragon Balls, then I'm going to make my wish and destroy Prison World." Peppa said with a cold malice in his voice.
"Then what will you do on the outside Peppa? How will you stop Future Zeno from erasing you out of existence again?" Korn demanded to know.
"I'm going to kill him, not just him, all the angels and gods." Peppa smirked evilly.
"Your insane, I wont allow it. I agree that Future Zeno has to go but not all the gods or angels have to go down with him. Some are good and are on the side of mortal kind." Korn explained.
"Spoken like a true righteous saiyan." Peppa said in a cold dark and disappointed tone looking at Korn.
"For mortal kind to be free all the gods and angels have to go." Peppa said coldly.
"I disagree." Korn said powering up.
"Then stop me." Peppa said charging at Korn.
Elsewhere…
Fu watches in his base on the monitors as Korn and Peppa begin a brutal fight against one another.
"Well then all the actors are assembled. The most interesting experiment in the universe can finally enter its main phase." Fu said.
Fu heard lighting sparking around him as black lightning crackled and popped behind him. Fu turned his head to see a female saiyan wearing gravity boots, black loose fitting cargo pants, a straight jacket with a rusted metal face mask, a long bang hanging down her chin with long spiky hair going down to the middle of her shoulder blades.
"Oh your turn wont come until a little later Evil Saiyan Saltz." Fu smiled.
Saltz lifted her head up struggling against the weight of the gravity boots increasing the pull of gravity around her and the straight jacket binding her powers. Saltz struggled against her binding but when she felt Korn and Peppa's energy and saw them fighting on the monitors a decade of suppressed rage and power burst forth like a volcano.
A sharp black aura with a red tint appeared around her as she continued to struggle against the boots and her binding to get free at last so she can finally satisfy her desire to kill her dear cousin Peppa at long last for what he did to her…
