Chapter Hundred-thirty-three
The Ultimate Saiyan! Vegetto's Power is Maximum!
Vegetto had a lot of things on his mind. Obviously, he was going to win but once he did, would things really be able to go back to normal? The others might want to wish him back to being Goku and Vegeta but he was supposed to be like this forever so he didn't want to get jipped out of a life. Which meant that, hey, Shenron wouldn't be able to do dick. So, since he was going to be sticking around, what did that mean for his relationships with Bulma and Suno? Which one was he married to? Or would they be okay with both being married to him? What about the children? Were any of them his? Or was Gotenks his only real child? Well, only real child for now. Gotenks was a different kind of fusion, though, so did that even count?
'Ugh, what a headache,' Vegetto thought to himself idly. 'Maybe I'll just shake the old bastard down for a few extra pairs of earrings so I won't have to worry about it.' While he had all of this on his mind, Super Boo was doing his level best to kill him. Of course, Boo was having a bit of a problem with that because, well, he couldn't actually hit Vegetto. Even barely aware of Super Boo's attacks, he still had enough instinct— not to mention he left Boo hopelessly outclassed in speed— that Boo never managed to get a hit in.
"Hold still, damn you!" Super Boo bellowed. That actually startled Vegetto out of his train of thought and he did stop. Boo's fist connected with his chin and sent Vegetto plummeting to the ground in a perfect spiral to crash into the earth, which shook from the impact. Boo pumped his fists in triumph and laughed for a moment before he watched Vegetto climb out of the hole he'd made with one hand on his neck, cracking a kink out of it, before he cracked the other side.
"Sorry about that!" he shouted up to Super Boo with a smirk. "I'm still getting used to this body. Give me a second!" He put his hands up and threw a few cursory jabs, inspecting himself and the way that he moved. Boo could only stare in shock, barely able to keep up with even that speed. "Alright," Vegetto said suddenly from behind Boo. "I'm good. Let's go!" Before Super Boo could even react, Vegetto smashed a fist into his back, nearly coming out through his chest. The momentum of the blow carried him forward into a left hook from Vegetto, who had somehow wound up in front of him. That blow rocked Boo to the left, sending him into a straight kick from Vegetto, who was there again, which sent him into an elbow drop to the top of the head from the right, and then Super Boo was plummeting out of the sky like a dead weight. He dropped, incidentally, into a flip kick from Vegetto, sending him back into the sky, up through the atmosphere until the sky began to darken and the stars became visible. As Super Boo began to leave the effects of Earth's gravity and began to hurtle weightlessly through space, Vegetto was there to greet him. He even gave Boo a cheeky little wave before hitting him with a jab that sent him back down from the heavens.
The sound that was made by Majin Boo's impact was the loudest in human history— if there was anyone left to record it, of course. Even so; Hercule, Bee, and Dende heard the sound from the other side of the planet, the almighty crack so sharp it actually forced Dende to his knees as he clutched his ears. They felt the ground shake under them horribly and Hercule struggled to keep his knees from buckling as a terrified Bee squirmed and whined helplessly in his arms.
'What the heck's goin' on?!' he thought to himself in utter confusion and no small amount of panic. 'I thought they were tryin' to save the world, not wreck it!'
Vegetto hovered for a moment as he watched a large crack run up and down the Earth from the point of impact and gave a dismissive shrug. 'Dragon Balls,' he reminded himself, 'Dragon Balls.' Then he was back on the ground with Instant Transmission, watching Super Boo drag himself out of the crater with gravel and hardened magma rolling off his shoulders and a hateful glare in his eyes. "Well, this is a pretty fun little warmup," he told Boo in a tone that was either smug or earnest, it was difficult to tell. "Can we kick it up a notch or are you tapped out?"
Super Boo snarled, showing his fangs. "Trust me," he shot back, "I'm just getting started."
"What're you waiting for, then?" Vegetto replied. Super Boo's snarl turned into a malevolent grin as four extra arms shot out of his back and his ribs. "Oh, a Tenshinhan move, huh? Neat." When Boo started to perform the motions of the Kamehameha with all six arms though, Vegetto looked interested. This was different!
"Try this!" Super Boo snapped at him as a technicolor ball of swirling rainbow light built up in his hands. "Kamehameha Spectrum!" Super Boo threw all six hands forward and a beam of multicolored ki flew at Vegetto. In response, the fused Saiyan kicked the blast up into the sky, watching it with a smirk as Boo put on a horrified expression.
"Not bad," he told Boo cockily. "But let me show you how a Kamehameha is done!" As Vegetto brought his hands to his side, Super Boo couldn't help but smirk. His bait had worked perfectly!
'The fool,' he thought smugly. 'He… they? He doesn't know that now that I've absorbed Gohan, I know the Kamehameha-canceling technique! While he's stunned, I'll make my next attack!'
"Kaaameee... haaameee…" Super Boo waited smugly as the blue-white ball of light charged in Vegetto's hands, fingers tingling with anticipation as he prepared his counterattack. But then, something different happened. Vegetto straightened out his body and spread his arms out, each hand holding a blue ball of ki. Lightning crackled up and down Vegetto's arms before he brought them forward and slammed his hands together at the wrists. "FLAAASH!" he cried.
"What?!" Super Boo screamed out in shock. He brought his hands up on instinct to try and block the attack but the massive blue-and-yellow beam of ki erupted from Vegetto's hands and barreled through his defenses. He barely arched the beam up, causing it to cut a devastating trench through the Earth before shooting off into space. The ocean moved to quickly fill the new trench in the planet's landscape, lowering the sea level by several inches.
"Come on," Vegetto taunted as he watched Boo regenerate from the shins up. "Goku was at 22nd Budoukai where she saw Tenshinhan do that move. You think you could actually get the drop on me with that?" Super Boo gnashed his teeth and steam whistled out of his holes. "Oh, that means you're mad, right?" Vegetto asked smugly as he crossed his arms over his chest. "So, what're you gonna do about it?" Boo looked like he was going to burst with rage before he took a deep breath to calm down. Then he raised one hand and, with a smirk, snapped his fingers. Vegetto watched as a burst of pink lightning zipped off into the air before looking back down at Super Boo in confusion. "...I think you missed," he pointed out.
"No," Boo replied calmly. "I can't." Vegetto tensed as the clouds darkened and thunder rumbled while pink flashes danced between the clouds. Super Boo's smirk turned into a psychotic grin as six billion bolts of pink lightning came down from the sky toward Vegetto like divine wrath. There was no way Vegetto could dodge them all. No matter how powerful he was, one of them would hit him, and then his soul would belong to Boo.
Vegetto watched the lightning bolts race toward him— although "race" was a generous term given how he perceived their movement— and held out his hand. A golden light flashed around it and elongated into a ki blade twice the size of his own body. With a smirk, he was reminded of a cartoon that he knew Trunks liked. "Transcendent Sword!" he cried, swinging the blade in a circle around him just as the bolts reached him. The pink lightning crashed into itself in billions of blossoms of flame that made it look as though the whole sky was on fire. He smirked at the casual display of his own power and held out his elbow as, in painfully slow motion, Super Boo charged mouth-first into it. "I sure hope that wasn't your best shot," he told Boo as the other gagged around his elbow. "Or else I'm gonna start getting bored."
Boo shoved himself off with a snarl and stretched his jaw for a moment. "Oh, you're getting bored, huh?!" he snapped. "Then let me show you something!" He opened his mouth wide and Vegetto watched with bile fascination as dozens of ghosts came pouring out of Super Boo's mouth. Instead of charging straight at him, though, the ghosts floated around Vegetto, trapping him inside a bubble with no window or space to escape. He tensed, waiting for their attack. Then the ghosts started to move their hands in familiar ways and each one fired a different ki attack.
"Chou Kamehameha!"
"Chou Dodonpa!"
"Kienzan!"
"Sokidan!"
"Makankousappuo!"
"Dodonhameha!"
"Masenko!"
"Infinity Cyclone!"
"Infinity Bullet!"
"Galick Gun!"
"Victory Cannon!"
"Kamehame Senbonhari!"
"Dodonya!"
"Obliterate!"
"Gekiretsu Koudan!"
"Die Die Missile Barrage!"
"Giga Piercer!"
Before the dust could even settle from this blinding maelstrom of attacks, the ghosts dove at Vegetto, throwing the destructive force of their own sacrifice at the fusion warrior. Super Boo waited for the smoke to clear with baited breath. That had to have done something! There was no way he could shrug all that off! The smoke was blown away by the wind of a kiai and Vegetto was standing there, seemingly completely unharmed. However, there was one thing that kept Super Boo's grin from faltering: a small cut on Vegetto's left cheek and the tiny well of blood forming in that cut.
Vegetto noticed Super Boo's gaze on him and felt the slight sting on his cheek, wiping his thumb across it and regarding the small red smear on his skin with mild amusement. "All that for a drop of blood," he scoffed.
"So you can bleed," Super Boo pointed out with an odd air of triumph. "You're not invincible after all."
"To be honest, I haven't really been trying," Vegetto admitted with a shrug. "I could've just used Instant Transmission to teleport behind you if I thought I was in any kind of real danger. Besides," he added, "This is only one four-hundredth of my full power."
Boo sneered in disgust. "You're bluffing," he spat. "You really expect me to believe you have that much power? You're just afraid because you've experienced pain for the first time."
"Is that really what you think?" Vegetto asked with one eyebrow raised. "Well, since you did manage to injure me— and I use that word loosely— I guess you've earned an eighth of my power." Vegetto brought his fists to his sides and, with a cry, transformed to Super Saiyan. Super Boo gaped in horror as Vegetto's ki skyrocketed and a golden aura surrounded him and roared like a wildfire. "Say hello to Super Vegetto!" He cried, the words barely reaching Boo's ears before Vegetto's fist slammed into his gut. The impact of the blow sent him hurtling over the horizon and Vegetto waited with a smirk as he heard his pink "foe" come flying back around him from behind, screaming all the while, and spun around to kick him with a roundhouse kick, sending him back the other way. He did this several times, ping-ponging him back and forth around the globe, before raising both fists over his head and spiking him down to the sea, where he smashed like a pink-and-white meteor, sending shockwaves and massive waves rolling across the sea that crashed down on the coasts. The sea boiled and a massive geyser of magma erupted from the waters, ripped straight from the Earth's mantle. Laced with pink lightning, this eruption was no natural occurrence but an attack. With casual disdain, Vegetto backhanded the geyser, sending gouts of lava spurting in all directions across the horizon to fall upon the earth as a searing-hot rain.
OoOoOoO
Dende powered up to make his aura surround himself, Hercule, and Bee, grimacing as lava smacked into his ki shield and hissed as it slid to the ground. He'd picked up a few tricks training here and there with Popo and Piccolo but he couldn't focus on that right now or take pride in the fact that he'd successfully manipulated his ki into a shield big enough for the three of them. He was more annoyed than anything else.
'What the hell is going on?!' He wanted to know. 'What happened to Gohan? What's that ki fighting Majin Boo? Why are they trying to destroy the Earth?!'
OoOoOoO
"Don't tell me you're done already!" Vegetto called down to the tumultuous seas below. "I think I was just about to break a sweat!" Soon enough, his prayers were answered and Super Boo rose up from the waves. Although it would have been easy enough not to recognize him. There was no easily identifiable body on Boo anymore, just a collection of thousands of arms and legs that all seemed to be drawn to a central point. "Well… that's different," he observed succinctly. A horrifying screech came from the center of the mass of limbs before the attack began, whipping all of his limbs like a hurricane at Vegetto. "Alright, now we're getting somewhere!" he declared excitedly, bringing his hands up to meet the challenge.
Only, as Vegetto quickly discovered, it wasn't much of a challenge. Even with Super Boo's speed making thousands of arms and legs look like millions of arms and legs, Vegetto met them all in an attack rush, blocking each fist and foot with one of his own, before realizing that he could get by just using his fists, and then eventually with just one hand to try and give himself something of a challenge. Hoping to catch him off-guard, an elongated, serpentine Boo head came bursting out of the mass of limbs to strike Vegetto with his jaws opened wide. Vegetto countered by slamming his free fist down on top of Boo's head to slam his mouth shut, then drove his other fist up under his chin. He spun his fist round and round in a tight circle until Super Boo was wound around it like cotton candy before pitching it high into the sky, aiming for the sun. Maybe Boo would absorb that and he might get a challenge. Instead, Super Boo managed to catch himself in the air and returned to his normal shape before inflating one of his arms to titanic proportions, swinging it at Vegetto with all his might. Vegetto met the punch with a blow from his normal-sized fist, causing Super Boo's arm to pop like a balloon. Super Boo inflated his other arm and attacked again, for a similar result. With a cry of frustration and rage, Super Boo inflated his arms to such massive proportions that they filled up the sky and blocked out the sun. The lack of light was soon replaced by a ball of pink ki gathering in Super Boo's colossal hands.
"Let's see you laugh off this!" he screamed. "FINAL! FLAAAAAASH!" A mind-bendingly large beam of ki erupted from Super Boo's palms, aiming straight for Vegetto in a blinding light.
Vegetto smirked. "Alright, now that's more like it!" he cried as he held out his hand again. "Transcendent Sword!" The golden ki blade sprang to life from his fingertips, stretching out to an absurd length to slice through Boo's blast, spraying ki off in both directions and, miraculously, leaving the Earth unharmed. The blade also sliced through Super Boo's arms and Vegetto gave a satisfied smirk as he felt the ki blade sink into Boo's body. He drew the blade back toward himself and brought Boo along with it like he was reeling in a fish. To his surprise, though, Super Boo was… smiling, even with a giant beam sword sticking out of his chest and his deflated arms flapping uselessly in the breeze as they receded back to his body. Something seemed… not quite right.
There was a glint of light off of something behind Boo and Vegetto's eyes were drawn to it. He focused on it and saw that it was… attached to Boo's antenna. A single strand of Boo's body, maybe a micron thick, that stretched over the horizon. Slowly, Vegetto turned around and caught a glint of light again.
"...Nuts," he muttered, although he honestly didn't seem that worried.
"Gotcha!" Super Boo bellowed in triumph as a bolt of pink lightning struck Vegetto. With a flash of light and without so much as a cry of shock, Vegetto was transformed into a dark brown jawbreaker. It fell into Super Boo's outstretched hand as the hole in his chest repaired itself and the miles and miles of nearly-invisible antenna receded back to its source. "I win! I win!" he cried with a victorious laugh. "You might have been stronger but I was smarter! Now I'm the strongest in the universe again!" He threw back his head and laughed and laughed.
OoOoOoO
Pracya gave a groan as Xibito's face settled into her hands. That was it. They were dead. They were completely out of trump cards and there was no way to stop Majin Boo. Why hadn't Vegetto destroyed him immediately instead of all that juvenile screwing around? Although, she supposed the "why" didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore. Five million years of planning and searching and governing the universe and it had all amounted to nothing.
"Now hold on," Pracya sighed heavily as he massaged his temples, "We might still have something. One of us will have to get an audience with Beerus—"
"Please tell me you're joking," Xibito muttered wearily as she slowly lowered her hands to give her elder a sidelong glare. She had been certain that her day couldn't possibly get any worse but, no, that would definitely do it.
"Do you have any better ideas?" Pracya retorted. Xibito gave an unenthusiastic shrug. "That's what I thought. Now, since the last time we spoke, he shoved me into a sword, and since you are Daikaioushin…"
"I have to seek the audience with him, then," Xibito finished unenthusiastically.
Pracya nodded. "Now, since I'm guessing he hasn't changed much in the last seventy-five million years, you'll have to… persuade him," he suggested gently.
"Like how you had to be persuaded?" she retorted dryly. The notion made her skin crawl.
"Oh, no, nothing like that," he assured her, a notion which only gave Xibito the tiniest fragment of a sliver of relief. "The handful of times I encountered Beerus, he never seemed all that interested in that sort of thing. No, you'll probably have to offer him some kind of rare delicacy or another."
"And I suppose the fact that if we die, he dies won't be enough to motivate him?" she pointed out. Pracya shrugged and she rolled her eyes. Of all the Thirteen Haikaishin, why did hers have to be the laziest? She just started to stand up to use her Instantaneous Movement when she noticed something was happening on the crystal ball. "Wait a minute…" she muttered, squinting suspiciously. "What's going on?" It looked like Boo was hitting himself in the face with the jawbreaker… but that wouldn't make any sense.
OoOoOoO
Super Boo held the jawbreaker between his claws and brought it to his nose to give it a cursory sniff, one which caused his face to crinkle in disgust. "Coffee flavored," he muttered. "Even when I defeat you, you still become the one flavor I don't like." Then he shrugged, deciding it was a sacrifice he was willing to make to cement his position of ultimate power. "Down the hatch!" he declared, throwing the jawbreaker at his open mouth.
The jawbreaker, instead, hit him squarely between the eyes. He cried out in pain and rubbed his forehead with one hand while the other hand dropped down to catch the jawbreaker could fall too far. Had he missed? No, that was impossible. He couldn't miss! He'd opened his mouth huge! He threw the jawbreaker again and the same result happened. What the hell was going on?! Finally, Super Boo just gripped the jawbreaker in his fist and dropped it directly into his mouth, snapping it shut. He rolled it around with his tongue, savoring the sweet taste of victory, if not the bitter flavor of coffee, and started to swallow.
But the jawbreaker wouldn't go down. It got caught in his throat and for a moment, Super Boo thought he was choking. Which he realized immediately was insane because how could he choke if he didn't need to breathe?! He tried to widen his throat before realizing that there was a growing pressure on the back of his neck and then something punched out through him. He whirled around and stared in disbelief at a spit-covered, coffee-flavored jawbreaker… floating in midair.
"No…" Super Boo growled, his brow furrowing as disbelief quickly gave way to anger. "No, no, no, no!" The jawbreaker spun around in a circle, shaking Boo's saliva off of it before coming to a stop, bobbing slightly in the air.
"Woo!" Vegetto's voice called out from the jawbreaker. "That was a close one! Gotta admit, did not know I could do this!" Super Boo stared in silent fury, mouth agape, as the jawbreaker laughed. "Ha! Yeah, that's about what I thought your face was gonna look like when I realized I was still aware and everything!" This was insane. How was the jawbreaker talking? How was Super Boo hearing it? How could it see his face?! "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"
"DIIEEEEE!" Super Boo screamed as he swung both fists from either side of the jawbreaker, each fist taking the form of a massive hammer. The jawbreaker– Vegetto?!- zipped through both hammers before they ever even touched it– him?!- and ripped right through Super Boo' stomach like a bullet. Vegetto arced back around ripped through Boo's left shoulder, then his right, then his biceps, his elbows, his knees, slicing him to ribbons. Each time he came back around, Super Boo tried to dodge or to counterattack but it was useless. The target was just too damn small!
"Looks like all you did was make me even harder to hit!" Vegetto observed as he floated in the air in front of Super Boo. "Faster, too! Man, you really screwed yourself on this one, didn't you?" He laughed again and steam erupted out of Super Boo's holes as he reconstructed himself.
"This isn't possible!" he screamed with rage. "You can't beat me! You shouldn't be able to fly, you shouldn't be able to talk! You're just… candy! You're candy!"
"Wrong," Vegetto retorted. "I'm the candy! The strongest candy in the universe!" Super Boo howled with fury as he fired a barrage of ki blasts at Vegetto, who zipped and dashed between them. "Over here! Almost! Nope! Ya missed me! Oooh, so close! You're getting warmer!" It took Super Boo several seconds to realize Vegetto was behind him now. "Nope. Ice cold. Kaaameee… haaameee…"
"...Oh, you've got to be kidding me," Boo remarked exhaustedly, too overwhelmed by the absurdity of his situation to offer up a defense.
"Haaaaa!" An enormous beam of blue-white light– especially comparatively speaking– fired out of the shiny surface of the jawbreaker, hitting Super Boo directly and blasting him to pieces as the beam hurtled off into space.
OoOoOoO
Billions of light years away, on the machine-planet known as M-2, a mad scientist conducted his work. Dr. Myuu, last of the Tuffles, toiled away in his laboratory. "Finally," he muttered to himself, "This will be my ultimate triumph. You, Beebee," he declared as he looked at the embryonic silver humanoid floating in a crystal vat of nutrient fluid, "Shall be the instrument of my revenge! The Saiyans shall suffer for their crimes and the Tuffles shall be born anew through you!" Dr. Myuu had not gotten out much in the last several decades and was well behind on cosmic events.
"Warning! Warning!" The alarm klaxons blared. "High-energy tachyon beam headed directly for planet's surface."
Dr. Myuu scoffed, ignoring the alarms from the computers as he continued his work. "Not to worry, computer," he assured it dryly, "The atmospheric shielding will hold."
"Warning! Warning!" The alarms blared again. "Atmospheric shielding completely disintegrated. Impact imminent. Odds of escape: 0.000001%." Dr. Myuu's luxuriant orange mustache and his pointed blue ears drooped.
"Oh, bugger…" he muttered weakly. It just wasn't fair.
OoOoOoO
Vegetto watched and waited patiently as pink smoke reformed itself into Super Boo. "You sure are hard to kill," he said, "I don't know if I should be impressed or annoyed."
"You're still a candy," Super Boo spat petulantly. "And if you think I'm going to turn you back, you've got another thing coming!" Super Boo was pretty sure he heard the candy scoff.
"Oh, I don't need you to do that," he told him. "Besides, I was getting bored of being candy, anyway." A crackle of lightning ran along the jawbreaker's surface before it exploded and Vegetto was standing in front of him again, his golden hair peaking even higher and lightning running up and down his body and all throughout his aura.
"How… how did you do that?!" Super Boo demanded.
"Fuck you, that's how," Vegetto replied simply as the lightning faded away and his hair returned to its normal amount of spike. Super Boo sputtered and spat in mind-bending rage and Vegetto crossed his arms while he sat out the other's episode. "So… what else ya got?"
"KAIOUKEN TIMES FOUR!" Super Boo bellowed in rage, his ki quadrupling as a flaming red aura surrounded him.
'Huh,' Vegetto thought to himself, 'Did not expect that one.' Super Boo was on him in a flash and drew back a fist, smashing it directly under Vegetto's chin… but his fist melted into goo on impact and they both looked at it, Vegetto in amusement and Super Boo in horror. Boo gave a hook with his left hand, which similarly splattered uselessly against Vegetto's jaw. Boo looked at his liquefying limbs before looking down at himself and realizing with a panicked cry that his entire body was melting. "Wow," Vegetto remarked in a deadpan, "I guess that's what Kaiouken does to you when you don't have any bones or muscles or anything and you're just goo, huh?" Super Boo tried to reconstitute himself but the faster he regenerated, the faster he melted. "This is just sad." Finally, Super Boo stopped using Kaiouken, panting from the exertion as his body returned to normal. "Any other brilliant ideas, Laffy Taffy?" Vegetto asked. "Because I think I've just about had my fun."
"Stop it!" Super Boo demanded, almost petulantly, whining. "This is not a joke! I am not a joke! I am serious! You will not look past me, you stupid son of a bitch! I killed your family! I killed your friends! I killed the Earth! Don't! You! CARE?!" Super Boo threw a punch at Vegetto at the climax of his tantrum… and the impact blasted the right half of his torso right out of existence. Boo looked back at Vegetto and wilted away in terror.
Vegetto's golden hair cascaded down his back in long, spiked locks and golden lightning raced along his body. His eyes burned green and his eyebrows had completely vanished. The air around him seemed to shimmer as if the structural integrity of the universe itself were threatened by the very existence of his power. Water and land were drawn up from the Earth and light was pulled down from the sun toward him, the gravity of his power so intense that he was practically a black hole.
OoOoOoO
"Whis…" Beerus mumbled, a faint rumbling stirring him from his nap, "What the hell is that?"
"Nothing of importance, my lord," his attendant assured him in a pleasant tone as he watched the battle and sipped at his mimosa. "Go back to sleep, you don't have to destroy a planet for another two years," Beerus mumbled something and flopped back into his bed, curling into a ball.
OoOoOoO
In his high-gravity training room, Cooler was doing one-finger push-ups as he held his Golden form. This required consummate and all-consuming focus. Until he had mastered this transformation, the slightest lapse in concentration would cause him to lose his power. Such a lapse came when he felt the very universe rumble from an impossible form of power, snapping him out of his focus. His Golden form was gone in an instant and he collapsed onto his back with a groan as he rolled his eyes.
Before he could actually say anything, though, Cooler realized that without his Golden form to bolster his power, there was nothing to protect him from the inescapably crushing force of the heart of a black hole. "KIKONO!" he bellowed in a mixture of anger and pain. "TURN IT OFF!"
OoOoOoO
"Trust me," Vegetto growled, "I care. You're going to die, Boo," he told him firmly. "Your life was forfeit the moment I was born. But you only die," he returned to his regular Super Saiyan form, "When I say you die. So as long as you keep things interesting, your life gets extended. So, I'll ask you again," And this time when he asked, Vegetto was deadly serious, "What else ya got?" Super Boo had no idea. "Nothing, then?" he asked with one eyebrow raised. "Shame." He held out his hand with the palm facing Boo and the thumb tucked in. "Guess there's no point in keeping you around, then. I've got a planet to fix and a family to figure out. BIG BANG–"
"DIE!" Super Boo screamed, launching himself forward and wrapping himself around Vegetto like a coil, constricting with all his might. Vegetto looked curiously even as his arms were pinned, wondering what Boo thought he was accomplishing. Then his enemy's body began to glow brightly and it dawned on him.
"Ah," he said, "I was wondering when you were gonna try this one." He flew up into the sky, out among the stars, trying to minimize the damage that would be done to the Earth. He couldn't risk the Dragon Balls being destroyed, after all.
A brilliant flash overwhelmed the sun and turned the entire sky a vibrantly neon pink and a scream of rage echoed on the wind. Slowly, the blinding light faded away, leaving only a Super Saiyan 2 Vegetto brushing dust off of his clothes, completely unharmed.
"Huh…" he muttered absently, "Where did this outfit come from, anyw–" There was the tiniest flicker of pink, some molecule-sized speck that quickly sunk its way down into his pores. "...Finally," Vegetto muttered before that something sprang out of Vegetto's neck and enveloped him, absorbing the Ultimate Saiyan and Strongest in the Universe in a flash, leaving only Super Boo in his place.
SSV/C: And here's a little treat just for taking so long with the next chapter. For a while now, we've had this idea in our head of what the voices of each character might sound like if they were dubbed officially. So for the next few updates, we'll be hitting you with the list we've come up with so far, starting with the original Dragon Ball. Now, if you had someone else in your head when you were reading this, feel free to let us know. I've also included a handy example of each person's work that I feel would reflect why they were chosen for this role. But if you're not entirely convinced, IMDB and Behind the Voice Actor are your friends!
