The Last Ones Standing
"I may be the last one, but I am the one still standing. I am the one not running, not staying, but facing." ~Saltz
Korn opens his eyes weakly trying to lift himself off the ground as he hears the violent clash between Kamioren and Saltz. Korn looks up to see Kamioren getting pushed back in the air with a freaked out expression as Saltz's stikes away in rapid succession with her fists.
Kamioren didn't even have time to respond before Saltz gut checked them and back flipped and kicked them in the jaw. Kamioren flew back in pain, vomiting as well as popping their dislocated jaw back in place. Kamioren stared in horror and fear at the raw unbridled strength of Saltz.
"I'm counting on you Saltz." Korn said weakly. Korn noticed the glass started to rise off the ground again. Korn turns his head to see Lagss glaring at him with a cold and ruthless facial expression.
"Glass Bullets!" Lagss said in a dark and ruthless tone.
"Not again!" Korn looked up with fear.
Toppo appeared in front of Korn using his Hakai aura to shield them and erase the incoming attack.
"You're going to fight me now!" Toppo said standing protectively in front of Korn.
"Toppo?" Korn said weakly watching him power-up back into his God of Destruction Select form.
Lagss fired hundreds of glass shards at Toppo who flew at her taking the attack painfully while erasing it so he can get in close and destroy her. Toppo hurled a ki blast at Lagss who brought up her arms to block the attack as she glided back to safe distance.
Meanwhile, Peppa watched the battles unfolding impatiently pacing back and forth at the edge of the base watching Saltz keep Kamioren pinned down under a volley of ki blasts. Saltz flew through the dust cloud kicking Kamioren in the face. Peppa watches them go spinning out of the dust cloud and smacks into a stone slab.
"This Saiyan, how does she have this much physical strength?" Kamioren said in a frustrated tone before Saltz overshadowed them, throwing a hard left to which they tilted their head out the way as the stone slab crumbled behind them.
Kamioren barely had enough time to turn to face Saltz before getting punched across the face and kicked in the ribs. Korn watches them punch and kick at each other but it is clear Kamioren was no match for Saltz in her Evil Aura Super Saiyan 4 form. Each one of Saltz's punches and kicks were leaving visible injuries and bruises on Kamioren as they continued to get brutalized by Saltz.
Korn looks up to see Hearts staring down at him with the red orb glowing and pulsing on their floating base. At the sametime Jiren strikes Zamasu across the face keeping pressure on him and keeping him contained and out of the overall fight trying to stall for time so the others can finish off the other members of the Core Area Warriors.
Jiren punched Zamasu so hard in the chest he broke his rib cage then punched him so hard across the face he broke his neck and sent him flying into a pile of rubble. Peppa heard the clash and flew to the other edge of the base looking down to see Zamasu snap his head back into place and his rib cage mend and heal.
Jiren rapid fires strong ki blasts which would have obliterated any normal mortal but Jiren and Peppa watch Zamasu instantly heal from that as well. To make matters worse because he was part Saiyan this only served to make Zamasu even stronger. Peppa grimaced at the horrid sight of Zamasu looking like a burned, melted, and rotting corpse before he instantly healed again to his normal look, howbeit with damaged and singed clothing.
"It's no use, no matter how strong you are I will always regenerate and come back stronger." Zamasu smiled back at Jiren.
"Immortality…" Jiren and Peppa said at the same time with frustrated looks.
"I'm going to tear you Tuffles apart!" Saltz yells out powering-up with her Evil Aura taking in a deep breath. Peppa felt Saltz's power so he turned to the edge peering over it to see what was going on with Saltz and Kamioren battle.
Saltz used her right hand quickly removing her face mask, opening her mouth wide, letting out a massively powerful Golden Oozaru Mouth Blast toward Kamioren in a horrific display of pure raw power.
Kamioren took the blast head on getting consumed by it. Their agonizing screams could be heard echoing through the skies as they separated back into Kamin and Oren. Saltz closed her mouth with a wicked smile placing her rusted steel face mask back on, feeling their power significantly drop.
"What's with this Saiyan? She is scary strong." Kamin said in an exhausted tone.
"She's the strongest of their kind we have ever faced." Oren adds-in.
"Here's the deal Tuffles, surrender and I'll kill you quick. If not, I'm going to get you and kill you painfully!" Saltz threatens them.
"A quick death or a slow death? That's not much of a deal." Kamin spat.
"I prefer she dies and we live! One less filthy Saiyan in the multiverse." Oren said weakly.
"Agreed!" Kamin said weakly as well. Saltz just smiled evilly under her face mask.
"Come and get me then!" Saltz ordered.
Korn watches Lagss bend down touching the ground with a faint glow around her body. Korn quickly gets to his feet pushing Toppo out the way as glass spikes shoot out the ground shredding Korn further. Toppo turns around hearing Korn scream out in pain. Even with his Ki Barrier up the initial thrusts from the glass spikes cause severe pain to Korn.
"No Korn!" Toppo yelled out. Lagss looked up at Korn in shock when she saw she had hit him instead of her target.
"I really hate that technique of yours." Korn said weakly struggling to stay on his feet and maintain his ki barrier around his body. Toppo stands next to Korn with Lagss getting back to her feet, narrowing her eyes at them.
"Lagss…" Hearts called out to her. Lagss looks up with a surprised expression.
"Hearts?" Lagss said in a loving voice.
"Go to Universe 16 with Peppa and take down their strongest warrior." Hearts ordered. Lagss looks up at Peppa and narrows her eyes at him then looks back at Hearts. Peppa looks down at Hearts when he hears that.
"WHAT? NO! Don't you dare Hearts! I have to see how these fights end!" Peppa demanded.
"You have seen what I wanted you to see, your break is over Peppa time to get back to work." Hearts told him in a commanding tone teleporting Peppa to Universe 16 with the snap of his left fingers.
"Does it have to be me? He can handle them by himself." Lagss said confident in Peppa's abilities.
"Off course, no one can back him up better then you." Hearts told her with a righteous smile. Lagss just gives him an annoyed look then nods her head.
"Fine…" Lagss said in a soft voice before being snapped to Universe 16 by Hearts.
"Hearts! Are you planning on fighting or just watching all day?" Korn yells out. Korn didn't have time to worry or think about Peppa. They already had enough on their plate to deal with. For now Korn will have to leave Lagss and Peppa up to the warriors of Universe 16 till they have dealt with Hearts and Zamasu.
"I have read your mind, it seems that the power of destruction you displayed earlier is still in its infancy." Hearts smiled at Korn who gave him a frustrated look.
"WHAT?" Korn yelled out.
"Your real power! I'm going to draw it out! Then that egotistical version of you is going to lose to me! How's that?" Hearts said, holding his hands up like a god.
"Alright then, how about we give it a shot!" Korn replies, turning into a Super Saiyan.
Korn flies at Hearts who merely holds out his hand increasing the gravity around Korn slamming him into the ground hard as he reverts back to his base form under crushing pressure. Toppo took a step forward to help Korn but got caught in the gravity field reverting back to his base form falling to the ground under a crushing weight. Saltz looked over to see Korn and Toppo struggling on the ground yelling out in pain.
"Ugh, they need saving again? Pathetic! This is so annoying!" Saltz said in a frustrated tone flying toward Hearts.
Saltz felt the gravity getting heavier around her but it was nothing she wasn't used to. Hearts turned his head surprised to see Saltz flying toward him with minimum difficulty. Hearts kept his right hand toward Korn and Toppo then pointed his left hand at Saltz increasing the gravity around her. Saltz kept coming to Hearts' shock as he powered-up, increasing the gravity more and more but Saltz kept getting closer and closer.
"How much gravitational force can your body withstand?" Hearts looked alarmed now with Saltz a few feet from him. Hearts was forced to power-up more and exert more force to bring Saltz to the ground below him but even then she landed on her feet dropping down to her left knee but still struggling to get to her feet to Hearts shock and surprise.
Saltz glares up at Hearts defiantly getting to her feet despite the heavy strain and crushing force being placed on her body. Hearts eyes widened seeing Saltz hold up her right hand toward him with black and red fluid energy forming in front of it like a claw.
"I'm going to kill you, Hearts!" Saltz screamed out in pain now starting to feel the immense crushing pressure against her body.
"Impressive! Astounding! You're withstanding enough force to crush a regular person into nothing! Even those two right there folded in defeat at the mere increase of the gravity but you! You're truly special!" Hearts said with an amused look.
The clouds parted with a massive beam of landing on Korn with the Supreme Kai of Universe 11, Khai appearing next to her to everyone's surprise. Hearts are momentarily distracted by the sudden appearance of Khai; he loosens the gravity field.
"Korn, let's get out of here." Khai ordered.
"What? No! It's not over! Saltz can still fight!" Korn protested.
"NO!" Hearts says in a low voice.
"No! We Must regroup!" Khai sternly suggested. Korn lets out a sigh grabbing Toppo's arm then uses Instant Transmission to teleport them away then reappears grabbing Saltz, then Jiren.
Once Korn had Khai, Toppo, Jiren, and Saltz, then the same blinding light that brought Kahi to them shot forth from the sky again and teleported them away. Zamasu floated up next to Zamasu. Kamin and Oren joined them floating up weakly next to them.
"That was the Supreme Kai of this Universe…Khai." Zamasu told Hearts in a cold voice.
"Indeed, our next destination is clear. We already have plenty of energy from Universe 11, 14, and 17." Hearts said with a smile as he snapped his fingers teleporting their base along with Zamasu, Kamin, Oren, and himself away.
Universe 13- The Demon Realm…
"Oh how exciting! Everyone is taking my experiment to the next level for me!" Fuu says in an amused voice laughing in the darkness of his room as he sits on the chair with various screens showing all the fights going on in Universe 11 to his amusement.
"Looks like it's finally your turn." Fuu said, looking at the screen that showed a shadow of an individual with the words Universe 16 on the bottom right of the screen…
