The Three Legendary Saiyans
Chapter 17: The Menace of Copy-Vegeta
Trunks sat quietly in the back of Monaka's Truck; not speaking or moving so much as an inch so not to draw Monaka's attention while he drove the truck through the infinite darkness of Space, able to see through a small window panel in the truck's rear doors and see the hundreds upon thousands of stars that doted the darkness.
"So this is Space" Trunks thought to himself; hugging his knees to his chest while he hid beside the large urn.
Within ten minutes of travel; Monaka's Truck landed upon its destination; Trunks rose up from his hiding place to get a look at the planet, witnessing the barren rocky wasteland that was this strange new planet.
"What is this place? And who is that?" Trunks muttered; spotting an elderly being sitting on a stone in wait, the elderly being appeared to be part-beetle due to his carapace-like body but with his blue and white-bearded face.
Trunks barely had time to react when the rear-doors opened and this child came tumbling out from the back of the truck; much to the surprise of the elderly being and Monaka.
"What? Why are you in my truck?" Monaka spoke in an uncharacteristically high voice; sweat beading on his bald head for when Raijin and Bulma would realise where their son had gone.
"What is this? You bring a child along with The Commeson?" The Elderly Being spoke in a slow and wheezy voice common with elderly men.
"I'm sorry Sir Potage; he must have stowed away during my last delivery!" Monaka spoke in the same high voice; sweat pouring from his head in fear of what Raijin might to do to him once they'd been found.
"Yeah; whatever… what's inside this urn-looking pot anyway?" Trunks spoke in an accusingly harsh tone; narrowing his eyes at Monaka and Potage.
"Such a rude child… though it is shocking that you do not know about The Legend of The Commeson" Potage looked astonished that the young boy would not know about the contents of the urn.
Trunks didn't bother answering; choosing to ignore to his elder and stare at the urn.
"I trust you are going to seal it yourself this time Sir Potage? Oh… and here's the magazine you also ordered" Monaka spoke in his usual slow voice; handing a questionable-looking magazine wrapped in a small black bag over to Potage.
"Ahh yes… good; good" Potage's cheeks flushed pink at the mere sight of the questionable magazine.
"HEY! What is inside this pot?" Trunks screamed at the top of his lungs; recklessly and uncaringly swinging his hands in a backwards motion in his fury and smashing the side of the urn with only the back of his right hand.
Monaka and Potage looked on in horror at the purple slime leaked from the shattered urn; sudden and seemingly living ripples flowing within the slime as a single red eye emerged from the urn, a red eye that locked its sight on Trunks.
"What the fuck?" Trunks slowly muttered a curse word as the slime and its single red eye glowered at him; the slime rippling along the ground in an unmistakable manner of lunging for a host body.
"GET DOWN BRAT!" shouted an unexpected but familiar voice; a white gloved hand shoving Trunks aside as the slime launched from the sandy dirt and separating from the urn before coating the entire body of Trunks' saviour: Vegeta.
"Vegeta!" Trunks yelled; reaching out to take Vegeta's limp hands in an attempt to pull him free of the strange slime though before Trunks could even reach the pulsating mass of slime, Vegeta was spat out onto the rocky dirt at Trunks' feet.
"Sir Vegeta! Are you alright?" Monaka finally snapped out of his fear and rushing to Trunks' side in helping a dazed Vegeta to his feet.
Potage merely looked on in horror as the slime curled around itself; its form condensing and morphing into a perfect replica of Vegeta only with a wholly purple body and glaring cruel red eyes.
"I must thank you for this body… without somebody as strong as you I'd never make it off this godforsaken rock of a world" Copy-Vegeta spoke in the same exact voice as Vegeta himself; crossing his arms in the exact same mannerisms.
Trunks and Vegeta both looked at Copy-Vegeta with a look of shock; Trunks opening his mouth to speak but no words escaped, while Vegeta rose to his feet; narrowing his eyes at the clone.
"What the hell is this?! Vegeta growled and cursed under his breath; his teeth gritting in anger as this strange monstrosity had not only stolen his form but could sense his own powers dwelling within it.
"Isn't it obvious Vegeta? I am becoming the new you; I possess your every skill and power, you are nothing more than an empty shell now" Copy-Vegeta gloated in the exact same manner that Vegeta gloated; having even copied Vegeta's voice and mannerisms down to the finest point, Copy-Vegeta placed his hand on his own chest as he spoke; a smug grin crossing his face.
"An empty shell? Like hell I am!" Vegeta's hands curled into fists and his muscles tensed as he immediately trust out both his hands to fire his Galick Gun, though no beam fired from his hands; leaving Vegeta shocked at his lack of any energy while Copy-Vegeta merely laughed at the apparent failure.
Potage and Monaka both stood while shivering in fear behind a particularly large rock formation; Potage shouting out for Vegeta and Trunks, "The Commeson will steal away your energy and strength leaving nothing left in the body of the original!"
"I'm sorry… is this that you planned on using against me?" Copy-Vegeta thrust out his hands just as Vegeta did; the purple energy of The Galick Gun radiating in his palms; ready to fire at a moment's notice.
"A bit late for that info old man!" Trunks shouted at the cowering pair; his light blue hair spiking upwards and changing to gold upon his transformation into a Super Saiyan 2, Trunks leapt into battle with Copy-Vegeta before the real Vegeta could stop him, "Buster Cannon!".
The two beams clashed; the entire length of Trunks' arms shuddering under the immense power of Copy-Vegeta's Galick Gun while his own Buster Cannon struggled to hold back the more-powerful beam, the two beams clashed until Copy-Vegeta gave up on the struggle and allowed his blast to disperse while Trunks' Buster Cannon carried on and demolished an entire cliffside upon impact.
"Trunks… the other Saiyan's brat if I'm not mistaken… you'll make a nice Copy" Copy-Vegeta snarled as he eyed Trunks' surprising strength though his own strength was vastly superior, outstretching both his hands just as his palms jutted several tendrils on each hand; the multiple tendrils reaching around a stunned and shocked Vegeta towards Trunks in preparation to create a Copy of the young teenager.
Trunks flung his arms up in fear of being copied just as Vegeta was when several gunshots resounded; multiple lasers flew through the space between Copy-Vegeta and Trunks with each laser tearing through and stopping the tendrils dead in their tracks.
"Time for the Super Elite Galactic Patrol Officer: Jaco!" shouted Jaco's voice; having fired the shots from his personal weapon immediately after exiting his vehicle, "Don't worry about this monster; I got this covered".
Copy-Vegeta merely grimaced at Jaco's sudden intervention; his hands morphing back into their normal shape, "A minor interference".
Trunks quickly grabbed a hold of Vegeta while Vegeta sieved a solid grip on Monaka and Potage; the group flying high above Copy-Vegeta and leaving Jaco to handle the clone by himself.
"Hey! Don't leave without me!" Jaco yelled without noticing that Copy-Vegeta's tendrils were threatening to consume him and create a copy of Jaco as well, quickly igniting his jet boots so Jaco to follow after the others and leaving Copy-Vegeta glaring out from within a white smokescreen created by the sudden activation of Jaco's jet boots.
Trunks and Vegeta retreated to a small alcove miles away from where Copy-Vegeta stood; allowing Vegeta to rest while he remained weak after having his abilities stolen, Monaka and Potage both huddling in a corner while not saying so much as a single word though Potage looked regretful in the current situation.
Jaco soon followed by falling out of the skies and hitting the ground face-first once his jet boots gave out; crawling out from the crater his fall caused, "Alright; what's the deal in leaving me behind like that?!".
"You said you could handle it!" Trunks countered; shooting Jaco a dirty look that strongly resembling the hateful looks that Raijin gave Jaco whenever he just dropped by Capsule Corp.
"Well… yeah I could… but I'd like some support!" Jaco whined while crossing his arms and trying to regain his moment of being cool after saving Trunks from the tendrils of Copy-Vegeta being copied as well.
"Would you both shut up; we need to get to the bottom of this… that doppelganger is far more than just a lookalike" Vegeta spoke; the veins in his temples both clearly throbbing as his temper rose.
Potage gave a loud sigh of breath; looking increasingly more regretful, "Allow me to explain… The Commeson is referred to by another name as The Super-Human Water".
"Wait! That was The Legendary Super-Human Water?" Jaco turned on the spot to face Potage; visibly sweating down his forehead at the very mention of The Super-Human Water.
"How the hell do you know about it?" Trunks asked; using the harshly accusing tone of voice that Vegeta often used when trying to get something he wanted from somebody.
"I'll answer that in a moment… but first; how could you leave me? A super-elite Galactic Patrol Officer behind like that?" Jaco turned his head while speaking; striking his own signature pose upon using his self-proclaimed title of super-elite.
"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION; NOW ANSWER ME!" Vegeta's anger burst out; bellowing directly at Jaco and causing the officer to jump and squeal in fear; though Potage and Monaka both also jumped in fear of Vegeta's anger.
Trunks got the same impression from Vegeta that Raijin did whenever around Jaco; being quick to anger and sometimes threating Jaco's life, the threatening look of Vegeta's face was so alike to Raijin's that it forced Trunks to smile.
"From what I know and given my current rank; The Super-Human Water is a miracle drug that multiplies your strength by hundreds of times" Jaco explained; turning his line of sight away from Vegeta while he spoke, an act that drew Vegeta's further anger.
"You only know a fraction of the truth… its true name is The Commeson and its true purpose is that of a biological warfare weapon; Vegeta's body to slowly fade until nothing is left unless his Copy is defeated and destroyed… and that will take an individual of tremendous strength and willpower"
Trunks looked away from Vegeta; the thought of his father popping into his mind but doubted he'd show up on the Planet after he ran away and didn't even tell Pilaf or Shu that he'd be leaving Earth.
"Sadly we do not have a lot of time; Vegeta will fade into nothing in less than a half-hour" Potage deduced; looking at Vegeta as if he had already faded out of existence.
Vegeta glanced down at the ground; knowing full well that normally he'd fight and defeat his Copy without a second of hesitation but he'd lost all his power and had no choice but to depend on those around him, even though the very idea of depending on someone insulted his pride.
An unmistakable Galick Gun fired across the skies and destroyed a small mountain while the group pondered on what to do; the voice of Copy-Vegeta shouting across the skies, "Come out you pathetic little weaklings! Come out or I'll just turn this rock into a barren wasteland… basically the same only on fire!".
Potage stood calmly; looking up into the skies for Copy-Vegeta to arrive, Vegeta remained sitting pondering on who could possibly defeat his copy; Monaka remained as quiet as he always was though he still shivered in fear, and Jaco simply stood nonchalantly while awaiting another chance to show off.
"HEY! What took you so long?" Trunks shouted; pointing up at the skies just as Copy-Vegeta came into everyone's field of view.
Jaco squealed in shock as Trunks stepped forward to challenge the copy.
"What are you doing Trunks?" Vegeta spoke; staying sat in the dirt when his feet were beginning to turn transparent and fade away into nothingness.
"Doing what none of you cannot!" Trunks answered; giving Vegeta a brave look though Trunks also spotted that Vegeta's feet were beginning to turn transparent, though the look of bravery was knocked out of Trunks as Copy-Vegeta dropped out of the skies and knocking Trunks down with a brutal hammer fist.
Trunks coughed as he inhaled the rocky dust raised by his collapse; slowly rising back up to his feet and clenching his teeth as well as his fists, a blazing golden flame radiating off his body as he jumped straight up to Super Saiyan 2 once again; along with the light-blue lightning that accompanied Trunks' Form.
"I see one brave little boy; standing up to die" Copy-Vegeta smirked; his red eyes solely focussed on Trunks and ignoring the fearful looks on the faces of Jaco, Potage and Monaka; while Vegeta remained unable to do anything to help the boy, "Pity I couldn't make a Copy of you".
"You won't be stealing any more of Vegeta's powers!" Trunks yelled; kicking off the ground and soaring directly for Copy-Vegeta; opting to attack with a volley of punches, then following up with a series of various kicks and alternating between the two volleys of attacks though Copy-Vegeta effortlessly stepped from side to side to avoid each and every one of Trunks' predictable attacks.
Copy-Vegeta grabbed a hold of Trunks' left forearm just as he attempted to use Raijin's own spinning backhand strike, "Let me show you what a real punch looks like brat!" Copy-Vegeta wore a sickeningly satisfied smirk as he struck Trunks in the face with a regular punch; holding onto Trunks' left forearm tightly and repeatedly punching the boy.
Monaka looked on in horror until his face went totally still; entering a seemingly perfect visage of total calm though had actually passed out.
Vegeta kept watching Trunks; biting his lower lip in anger for being so powerless.
Trunks' right eye had swollen up after the brutal series of punches he took to his face; attacking with a jab to Copy-Vegeta's elbow and forcing the Copy to release his grip; Trunks flew up into the air and dropped down with a drop sledgehammer fist; both his hands linked together and crashing his joined fist down into Copy-Vegeta's head with such force that a shockwave passed through the sky.
"What was that? A mosquito" Copy-Vegeta smirked with clear confidence and maliciousness.
"In that case…" Trunks flew backwards trying to get some distance; holding out both hands as two energy orbs charged in his palms; the orbs of energy glowing until Trunks thrust his two hands together exploding into an enormous beam, the beam struck an unflinching Copy-Vegeta and continued to tear through the barren landscape until Trunks spent every drop of his energy and fell tired and worn out to the ground.
"You did well my boy" Potage patted Trunks on the back; though his eyes gazed into the cloud of devastation for any sight of Copy-Vegeta.
"Did you really think you could stop me with a simple beam attack?" resonated the cruel voice of Copy-Vegeta; the clone walking across the sand and out of the dust cloud without so much as a single scratch on his slimy body.
"It's no use; he's just too strong! I didn't want to go out like this; I wanted to go out in a blaze of glory" Jaco cried out; holding his bulbous yellow eyes in his hands in preparation for his end.
"Now is your chance Jaco; stand firm and face this foe" Vegeta spoke; not once turning his line of sight away from Copy-Vegeta even though Trunks lay exhausted and devoid of any energy right next to his non-existent feet.
"Well… not like this where I have no chance of winning" Jaco uncovered his eyes to make eye contact with Vegeta; gasping upon sight of Vegeta's legs fading up to his knees as well as his fingers beginning to fade away to nothing, "Vegeta; your body is fading faster".
"You do not have much time… about five or ten minutes at most" Potage spoke; analysing Vegeta's fading legs and fingers in an instant and quickly summarizing an estimated time when Vegeta would fade entirely.
Vegeta grimaced; knowing full well that he was gradually vanishing though there was little that he could do to stop Copy-Vegeta.
Copy-Vegeta turned his glaring red eyes onto Vegeta; smirking widely and laughing to himself at the mere sight of him, "My old shell; I greatly enjoy your disappearing act, but before I witness your inevitable end… I must commend this boy for his courage by giving him a quick end" Copy-Vegeta raised his right hand once again; an energy orb identical to the Big Bang Attack charging in the Copy's palm.
Trunks closed his eyes and looked away; gritting his teeth for the blast that would end him, moments passed but the blast never came; Trunks opened his eyes to see two figures standing between himself and Copy-Vegeta.
"Are you alright Trunks? Your mother and I were very worried" Raijin smiled while locking eyes with Trunks while his barehand clutched at Copy-Vegeta's right wrist; ceasing the attack before the clone could fire.
"Everyone stand back; let Raijin handle this alone" Goku shouted; reaching down and helping Trunks up to his feet but leaving Vegeta to stand of what was left of his legs and observe Raijin do battle with his clone.
"You must hurry; your friend does not have much time!" Potage shouted to Raijin; the determination in the tone of voice resonating with Raijin's own resolve to save his friend and rival.
"What is this? Kakarot is taking a backseat! How laughable" Copy-Vegeta laughed in the face of Goku's leaving the battle to Raijin; though his laughter was short-lived as the clone took a tornado kick to his head and being flung into the dirt.
"Still laughing now?" Raijin muttered; lowering his right leg down after his tornado kick, his golden hair standing up on end while white lightning crackled around his body in his Super Saiyan 2 Full Power Form.
Copy-Vegeta rose back up to his feet by pushing off the ground with tendrils sticking out from his back; a sly smile crossing his face while withdrawing his tendrils, "You might be worth making a copy of…" before Copy-Vegeta could finish speaking; he took another punch to his face; a punch that broke his nose.
"Would you shut up already… you're worse than the real Vegeta" Raijin mocked; raising his hands for his Masenko, the energy in his hands visibly charging though Raijin wanted to fire his beam at right the right moment.
"I AM THE REAL VEGETA!" Copy-Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs; an ominously dark purple aura igniting around his purple body; the multiple slimy tendrils visibly curling under the surface of the purple slime that made up his body.
"Now! Masenko!" Raijin outstretched his arms out in front oh him upon firing his beam; the yellow energy of the Masenko colliding with Copy-Vegeta's dark purple aura, Copy-Vegeta smirking as Raijin's Masenko was barely doing any damage.
"Is that all you got?" Copy-Vegeta gloated; chuckling to himself before his already-broken nose felt like it had been broken even further when Raijin rushed in and planted his left knee directly into Copy-Vegeta's face; linking his tail to Copy-Vegeta's shoulder and flipping over Copy-Vegeta before executing an axe kicking the clone directly in the back.
Copy-Vegeta thrust his feet into Raijin's back therefore knocking him off-balance; his purple body coated in an equally dark purple aura as he flew under Raijin and driving a vicious upward kick directing into Raijin's ribs, Raijin coughed up a mixture of saliva and blood after taking the kick.
"When did he learn to fight like that?" Jaco questioned; coughing into his hand as the dust cloud finally dispelled after Trunks' own beam attack.
"I don't know; Vegeta and I don't train with Raijin anymore" Goku muttered; scratching at the back of his head while watching Raijin and Copy-Vegeta fight in the skies.
"You really should; my old man could beat you with his new powers" Trunks pouted; oddly speaking some words of a positive light about his father instead of degrading and insulting him.
Vegeta continued to frown as he watched; watching Copy-Vegeta continue his attacks by grabbing a hold of Raijin's tail and whipping him down into the rockiest side of a cliff, proceeding to strike against Raijin with a barrage of Energy Punches; dirt and dust being flung into the air by Copy-Vegeta's relentless attacks again Raijin.
"You cannot defeat me with attacks like that!" Vegeta yelled; blunting giving some form of encouragement for Raijin.
Raijin kept his arms raised to block as much of Copy-Vegeta's attacks as he could; gritting his teeth and drawing on his powers and allowing his golden aura to burn brighter, feeling his golden hair burn at his scalp; his golden hair growing longer and thicker upon his transformation to the next level.
Copy-Vegeta felt a blast of energy and heat from Raijin's body; retreating from the cliff just as Raijin stepped out from the crumbling rock, Raijin stood with a harsh and darker golden aura; his piercing turquoise-ringed eyes glared out through the golden flames as a Super Saiyan 3 Full Power.
"When did Raijin master Super Saiyan 3?" Goku blurted out; unable to believe what he was seeing from his friend.
"Don't you know? Oh wait… of course you don't" Trunks bluntly answered; pointing an accusing finger at both Goku and Vegeta, "If you two weren't so obsessed with that God Ki of yours; you'd know that my dad secretly trained with this power and mastered it to a point that neither of you ever could! he even helped Gotenks master the Form".
Goku couldn't help but feel impressed, he had abandoned Super Saiyan 3 in exchange for Super Saiyan Blue and yet; it wouldn't be enough to defeat Copy-Vegeta if the Copy truly possessed all of Vegeta's abilities.
Raijin charged in against Copy-Vegeta; moving at blindingly-fast speeds and leaving only dust in his wake; Copy-Vegeta spat out a tendril just as Raijin shoulder-charged the Copy in the back, Raijin wrapped his arms around the Copy's waist; driving the Copy down into the same crumbling cliff that he'd been pummelled into, Copy-Vegeta screamed in fury; turning to Raijin and striking his foe with a punch to the gut and following up with an axe kick of his own into Raijin's head.
Raijin toppled out of the ravines created by their battle; dazed after taking an axe kick to the head but Copy-Vegeta rushed in with another powerful gut punch and winding Raijin, Raijin smiled as he regained his breath; thrusting his hand into Copy-Vegeta's chest and firing a stream of ki blasts at point-blank range just to separate each other.
Copy-Vegeta merely grinned as he was forced back by the volley of ki blasts; reaching out with both arms in the manner for the Final Flash but crossing his arms again instead, "It's good to have an adversary worth my time… the kid wasn't good enough; but you are worthy!" as soon as Copy-Vegeta screamed at Raijin with the view that we was worthy; Copy-Vegeta's purple hair flashed with a blinding white light.
Raijin flung his arms up to protect his eyes from the blinding flash; noticing that Trunks, Goku and a half-transparent Vegeta; along with Jaco and Potage had all defended their eyes too.
Raijin uncovered his eyes when the blinding flash had ceased; feeling his eyes widen as Copy-Vegeta stood in the air wrapped in a cloak of blue flames and his hair had turned from deep purple to a deep blue, "Shit… he has Super Saiyan Blue".
Vegeta closed his eyes; his legs had faded almost entirely and his arms faded almost to his shoulders, "What are you doing Raijin?! You need to fight better if you are to defeat this no-good doppelganger!".
Raijin's eyes widened as he realised what he should have been doing from the start; destroying Copy-Vegeta instead of simply flexing his abilities and showing off what he'd done in the time Goku and Vegeta spent perfecting God Ki.
"Getting called out by a ghost; how shameful" Copy-Vegeta smirked; openly revelling in the blue flames of which radiated the immense power of Super Saiyan Blue.
"Enough talk… the real fight starts now!" Raijin roared; the harsh dark gold aura flaring bright red while Raijin transformed once more; his muscle mass slightly increasing and tearing the black tank-top from his chest as a bright red fur emerged from under his skin as well as turning his once-golden tail bright red, his black hair returned and spiking out much more wildly just as a dark red line circled around his eyes.
Goku and Vegeta locked eyes for only a moment; nodding to each other in expression of their shared desire to see exactly how Super Saiyan 4 will measure up against Super Saiyan Blue.
Copy-Vegeta roared with laughter at the very sight of Raijin standing in the air with his arms outstretched and his legs overlapping; thrusting out his arms and firing a Galick Gun to test his opponent's new power, Raijin dropped to the ground and let the beam pass overhead then rushing forward on foot by relying on his enhanced speed to close the gap; raising his left hand and firing a volley of ki blasts aimed for the area around Copy-Vegeta.
Copy-Vegeta grinned widely upon entering into a chase with Raijin; deflecting any blast that travelled anywhere near him with a tendril, bringing his hands together for a second Galick Gun just as Raijin span on the spot to fire his Hyper Masenko; Raijin grit his teeth though he already knew defeating this monster was no different than defeating Vegeta
With a unanimous roar that began the brilliant flashes of purple and gold; Raijin and Copy-Vegeta engaged in a beam struggle, the two beams converged in the full sight of Trunks, Goku and Vegeta; Vegeta stood as little more than a head and shoulders since Copy-Vegeta transformed.
"This is not good; your body is fading at a much higher rate… only a minute remains before you'll disappear entirely" Potage shouted with a sense of urgency and panic in his voice.
"Dad will win; I know he will" Trunks watched the beam struggle unfold; his lower lip quivering with fear of losing Vegeta or his father to this battle.
Raijin grit his teeth so much that his gums drew blood; his current power was barely enough just to stand up against Super Saiyan Blue but he had to win, no; he needed to win to save Vegeta: his friend and rival, Raijin screamed at the top of his lungs; digging down into himself for the power he needed; feeling a sudden heat spreading across his body that filled his own body up with an otherworldly strength.
"Wait… what? How are you getting stronger?" Copy-Vegeta shouted upon sensing the sudden change in Raijin's energy; a change that struck an irrational fear in the Copy's mind.
Goku and Vegeta watched with wide eyes; watching as Raijin's aura shifted from a brilliant gold to burning red flames extremely similar to that of a Super Saiyan God.
Raijin reached out and seized Copy-Vegeta's blue hair with his left hand; and punching Copy-Vegeta square in his shocked and stunned face with his right fist, "You call yourself the real Vegeta! The real Vegeta could kick my ass with Super Saiyan Blue! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A PALE IMATATION!"
Copy-Vegeta looked at Raijin with fear; the truth in his words striking just as hard as the brutal punches to his face that further broke his nose and whatever he had that passed for cheekbones.
Vegeta smirked while he was little more than a floating head after almost his entire body had faded away; knowing that any moment now Raijin would destroy the worthless doppelganger.
Raijin's expression soured while he stared at the broken and defeated face of Copy-Vegeta; releasing his grip on the blue hair once it had faded back to purple, "Its over… Golden Descent" Raijin raised his hands up above his head to form the energy orb he used for his Golden Bomb technique; throwing the orb down directly into Copy-Vegeta's falling body, Copy-Vegeta let out a pained scream as upon contact with the Golden Bomb orb; a rapid downward descent into the ground followed the initial impact.
Copy-Vegeta's screams continued until his body disintegrated entirely while the orb forced the Copy even deeper downwards into the dirt until his copied body was no more.
Raijin panted after exhibiting and utilising such power; his body reverting back to its normal state once both feet touching the ground, Raijin smiled proudly while watching Vegeta regain his entire body in only a few seconds; Vegeta looking equally pleased in Raijin's victory.
"It took you long enough" Vegeta remarked; crossing his arms and walking away from Raijin, Goku oddly walking away with Vegeta.
Raijin felt a pat on the back from both Potage and Jaco; while Monaka remained motionless and the perfect image of calm, Trunks rushing forward and suddenly punching his father.
"Trunks? What was that for?" Raijin asked; dumbfounded by the sudden expression of aggression from his rebellious son.
"No reason; just felt like punching you" Trunks turned his back to Raijin; though he was smiling with relief for his father's victory.
"You did well; The Commeson has been destroyed and will no longer pose a threat to anyone" Potage spoke; holding his hands in prayer for the weapon he once created many decades ago.
"If it was me; I would have defeated that copy so quickly it wouldn't have posed a threat at all" Jaco smugly announced; ignoring the irritated looks he was getting from Raijin, Trunks and Potage.
"Jaco… shut up" Raijin, Trunks and Potage spoke all at once, leaving Jaco stunned by their unified dismissal of his nonsensical clams.
Vegeta and Goku both stood at the deep hole created by Raijin's Golden Descent; sensing that Copy-Vegeta was indeed no longer alive, Goku turning to Vegeta and speaking in a low voice; "did Raijin use it?".
Vegeta turned his gaze back to Raijin; narrowing his eyes as Raijin gave Jaco the middle finger while Jaco retreated back to his vehicle, "Yes I did; Raijin possesses God Ki".
