Alright here we go, the begining of the end.
Wish me luck.
I hope you guys enjoy this conflict from start to finish.
The Beyond Games
It had been five days since Towa's Androids had arrived.
Iolite and Zangya stepped out of the time chamber.
Trunks smiled as he looked at both of them. "I can tell how much you progressed, Iolite, your even stronger than before."
She smiled back at her father.
Zangya put a hand on her niece's shoulder. "Watch out, your little girl here might not be far from getting past you."
Iolite looked away a bit embarrassed by her aunt's claim.
Trunks couldn't stop smiling, his daughter really did come a long way, he's sure that she can surprise Vegeta with how far she's come.
"Alright" Lapis looked to Zangya. "Listen, we need a favor from you."
They explained what they were planning to do with Lapis and Lazuli, and their doubles.
Zangya was standing in front of the twins ready to intervene if she had to.
Trunks and Iolite stood in front of the boys along with Dende and Mr. Popo.
The half Saiyan will test the Blutz Wave ray in the time chamber, but first he wanted to be here in case he needed to intervene himself.
Lapis and Lazuli had their thumbs on their respective capsules ready to put Bulma's changes to the test.
Once they tossed them in front of them.
Both figures stood, a copy of them with blank looks in their eyes.
Shorz and Joyaku hid behind Zangya knowing that she can undo their fusion.
Iolite remembering her encounter with them squeezed her fists ready to fight in case anything went wrong.
"What now?" Lapis asked unsure how to proceed.
Bulma had a serious look in her eyes. "Just contact your double telepathically, command them to merge and they should do just that."
Lapis and Lazuli both look at each other before turning to their spouses.
Trunks and Zangya nodded showing their support ready to defend just in case.
Both Cyborgs looked at their machine mutants, their eyes glowed red indicating they were controlled.
Lapis and Lazuli merged with their doubles.
A bright light shined and once it was done both Lapis and Lazuli stood and appeared to have no change.
"What?"Lazuli asked looking in her palms. "What happened? Did we do it wrong?"
Lapis didn't seem surprised, he only smiled. "No, we did it right, I think our merger was a bit different, right Bulma?"
"Yep!" Bulma said with a thumbs up. "I made sure to delete their memories, they are nothing but blank slates, so you shouldn't feel any programming."
Lapis and Lazuli can tell she was telling the truth, they both felt the same, not 17 or 18, but their human selves.
"I can feel something else, I'm stronger, way stronger." Lapis stated. "Maybe as strong as my Past self before he fused."
"Yep another upgrade by yours truly, your normal state should match your doubles, your probably ten times stronger than you were before you used the time chamber."
Lazuli smiled before looking at Bulma. "You really pulled through for us."
"And then some." Bulma bragged. "Now, you should be able to turn into those Super Androids on top of this, so go on use it."
Lapis and Lazuli couldn't believe what they were hearing, not only did Bulma make them as strong as 17 and 18 were without Kaioken but also give them a transformation. They closed their eyes ready to transform.
"Greetings."
All stopped hearing a woman's voice, they looked up in shock.
It was a familiar blue skinned women with white hair in a red and black outfit. She was floating sitting on her staff on its side.
"Towa?" Trunks was confused.
Zangya immediately aimed her hands up unleashing her Psycho Threads to ensnare the demon.
The threads phased through Towa, clearly not affected in anyway.
"A projection?" Dende asked staring up at the demon.
"Precisely" Towa smiled. "I wouldn't be foolish enough to come here for real."
They all glared at the demon.
"Why are you here?" Lazuli demanded.
Towa stared at the duo as well as the rest of them. It was as she thought they had gotten much stronger to, but it of no concern not with what they have.
"I think we're in all agreement that we're anxious to finish this." She explained. "So I will extend an invitation, come through the portal and we will have our forces end this."
The Z-fighters of course were suspicious, clearly they want to end this now before they can get any stronger, staying and using the time chamber more may ensure their victory.
Not to mention wanting to test their new possible powers.
"Why the rush?" Lapis asked. "You wanna get beaten that badly?"
Towa smiled and tilted her head.
"Hmm, how about if you don't go through my portal in say five minutes, my forces will simply destroy a random galaxy." She threatened. "And we'll keep doing it every minute you hesitate."
Damn it, she was really going to rush to finish this.
"Five minutes." Towa said as she vanished. "See you then."
Once she vanished a black portal appeared in front of them.
"Damn it." Lazuli squeezed her hands. "She's got us, what do we do?"
It was clear wha they should do. They have to follow their rules.
They may have to test Bulma's work in the field. Five minutes may not be enough if something goes wrong. The time chamber would make that six hours but would that be enough time for Trunks to control the Saiyan's primal power?
Trunks wasn't sure but he had to make a call.
"Supreme Kai, can you hear me?"
Supreme Kai arrived with Kibito at his side.
"We're here Trunks." Supreme Kai stated. "I apologize, we were hoping to find Towa's timeline before she finished whatever preparations she had."
Trunks nodded and turned to his son. "Shorz" He knelt down to his son as did his wife. "We're gonna go now ok? Remember to do whatever Shin and the others tell you."
"We love you." Lazuli said to him. "We're going to win and then we're going back to our normal lives."
Shorz nodded and hugged them both.
Iolite ruffled his hair. "Remember to focus on your training up there ok?"
"Yeah I will!"
Lapis put a hand on his own son Joyaku.
"Get as strong as possible kiddo."
Zangya hugged her young son. "We'll be right back."
Joyaku nodded scared of what was next.
Bulma walked up to his son.
"Stay safe, no matter what ok? You already died twice."
Trunks nodded and hugged his mother.
Bulma, Dende, Mr. Popo, Joyaku and Shorz all came to Kibito and the Supreme Kai.
Supreme Kai vanished with them wishing them good luck.

Supreme Kai's World
Once Bulma and the others arrived they were greeted by others.
"Yo, Bulma." Yamcha said smiling with Krillin and the others by his side.
Bulma smiled at her ex boyfriend and friends around them. "Hi everyone, glad we're all together even if it's not in good circumstances."
Goku walked behind her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on Bulma, Trunks and the others got this, I know they can do it."
Bulma nodded with a sad smile.
"Stop your worrying."
She turned to see Vegeta, who seemed to scar Shorz to where he hid behind his mother being more scared of him.
"He has both mine and your stubbornness." Vegeta said to her. "He will succeed." He looked down at Shorz who was still hiding behind bulma. "And he knows that he will want to be the one to make a warrior out of you."
Shorz feel relieved hearing his grandfather's words and started seeing him in a different light.
"Come on." Gohan walked to the two boys. "How about we start your training kids? That'll help take your mind off things."
The boys knew that this would be the best they could do for the,.
"Come on Shorz." Joyaku looked at his unsure cousin. "We need to get stronger, so next time we can help like Iolite is doing."
Shorz smiled hearing that, he was right, they needed to this. His sister was now in the front lines and now they had to be ready for when it was their time.
The plan was that while Trunks, Lapis, Lazuli, Zangya, and Iolite battle Shorz and Joyaku would be trained by the old Z-fighters. Hopefully safe from Towa and her forces with he help of the likes of Goku, Gohan and the others. Even Vegeta who resides in hell would protect them on the Supreme Kai's planet.
And in the worst case scenario should they fall, Shorz and Joyaku will train to one day put an end to Towa's madness.
They prayed that wouldn't happen.

Trunks stood in front of the portal, he knew this would be a trap. Just what did they do in just five days? And would they be strong enough to overcome what they had, without resorting to their new paths to power?
Lazuli put a hand at Trunks's side hugging him.
"Honey, it's time."
Trunks stared at his wife before looking to Lapis and Zangya who stood ready.
Iolite stepped forward ready to start. She turned back to her family. "Dad" She began. "Everyone, let's do this, let's make Towa pay for hurting our family!"
Trunks nodded hearing that as did the rest of the Z-fighters.
Towa was going to pay for brining Baby to their doorstep, for turning 16 against them, and of course for bringing back Lapis and Lazuli to the past to remind them of their misdeeds.
No more.
They will end all of this now.
Trunks and the Z-fighters walked through the portal.
Now an untold war will decide the fate of all timelines
XXX
Unknown Place
Towa opened her eyes and walked to a shadowy figure standing with two wings.
"They will be here soon, Cell, are you ready?"
The being opened his eyes. "Hmhmhm, I am so excited to reunite with old friends, your experiments are in place?"
"As you requested." Towa responded.
"Then let the Beyond Games begin."
Cell laughed heartily knowing what was to come.
XXX
Trunks and Co.
Once Trunks had stepped through the portal he looked all around.
They were in a large metal fortress.
Lapis frowned at the surroundings. "Was kind of hoping for some epic evil lair after all the waiting we've been doing, this seems kind of bland."
"Same here." Iolite agreed it all seemed so bland.
"Be on guard you two." Lazuli lectured. "We don't know what tricks they'll pull."
"She's right, and they've already started." Zangya pointed. "Look"
She pointed in the air and several holes formed.
Many individuals raced out towards the Z-fighters, they looked as they were ordinary people, each with the Red Ribbon symbol on their bodies.
And none of them had detectible Ki.
"Androids" Trunks said to them. "How many of them were regular people."
Lapis turned to him. "None, I can tell that all of them are like 16, completely metal."
"So don't hold back." Lazuli mentioned. "But don't waste energy either, you don't need to transform yet."
Trunks and Iolite nodded before racing towards the Androids.
With simple strikes they tore into these Androids, all of them were strong, but none were match for either Saiyan's base form.
Lapis, Lazuli, and Zangya all had even less trouble without transformations or Kaioken.
In seconds all the Androids were on the ground.
"That was a waste of time, what were they even doing?" Zangya asked as none of them were out of breath.
"It was merely testing."
An elder man had spoken.
One that Lapis and Lazuli could easily recognize.
Up above there was a podium where a man stood looking down them, a black hat with the red ribbon symbol with an orange and black outfit.
Lapis, Lazuli, and Trunks all couldn't believe their eyes.
"Dr. Gero?" Lapis started. "You, why are you here? Wait, don't tell me"
"Your from the same timeline Towa pulled our past selves from right?" Lazuli asked with a glare.
Iolite and Zangya were surprised to hear that. Both heard of Dr. Gero but they didn't think they'd see him.
"Indeed." Gero explained. "I must say you two really had grown in power." He glanced down at 17 and 18 then at Trunks.
"The same goes for you Trunks, in my timeline you were slain by Android 16 as a Super Saiyan." Dr. Gero said with a smile. "Yet you, in base form you dispatched a great number of Androids that matched the one you knew as Dabura, I never would've thought Saiyans had this potential."
And they were as strong as Cell would've been in his perfect form. Yet in a normal state Saiyans can do way with them.
Trunks didn't think of that. When 17 and 18 were taken from their timeline it must have left his counterpart to fend for himself against 16. The only reason he escaped was because he went after Lapis and Lazuli. But without them being revived by the dragon balls, then.. Dr. Gero's computer must've been able to take over earth.
He wondered what happened to his mother.
That made him glare at him.
Dr. Gero didn't stop there and turned his gaze to Iolite. "And you, you look quite a bit like your mother, perhaps you wish to be remade as I did for her."
Iolite felt a chill down her spine hearing that.
Lazuli reacted in rage and tossed a powerful Ki blast in Gero's direction, one she knows is too strong for the doctor to absorb.
Dr. Gero remained standing without fear.
A giant green gauntlet covered arm deflected the blast.
They were shocked at who they saw.
It was large Android coated in the same metal 13 was when they destroyed him, he had familiar green armor though it had shoulder pads and a black dot in the center. He also had armor down at his legs.
A red mohawk that they all knew.
"Is that" Iolite paused looking up at him. "Is that you 16?"
16 stared down at Iolite before looking at the others.
"You will all be destroyed."
He said it so easily.
Trunks glared at Dr. Gero.
"You! What did you do to him!" He demanded.
"He's been enhanced, though not by me."
Walking by his side was a familiar pink woman with a tail.
"But yours truly!" 21 giggled as her tail wrapped around Dr. Gero's shoulder. "Thank you so much for taking care of 16 while his parents were away, but I think we can take good care of our darling boy now."
They remembered how 21 had explained that she was the wife of Dr. Gero and that 16 was based of their son.
And what they did to him was corrupt him.
"You two!" Lazuli yelled. "Bring him back to his senses now."
"Unless you want to die slower this time doc." Lapis threatened.
Zangya got ready as well, seeing 16 being made into a marinate made her skin crawl.
Trunks and Iolite were enraged also, both of them were threatening to transform right now.
"Now wait a moment." Dr. Gero snapped his fingers. "Here why don't I show you what I have been creating."
As he snapped his fingers too sheets of metal slid up.
Two new figures walked to show more familiar faces.
Again they were shellshocked especially Trunks and Zangya.
One who stood was in Frieza Force armor with a monkey like tail. His hair was like Vegeta's but slanted to one side.
"Tarble?!" Trunks recognized the uncle that had passed on in the afterlife and chose to remain.
The other was a woman with green skin and orange hair.
"Me?!" Zangya yelled wondering how and why she was here. Was there another timeline where the Galaxy Soldiers were free?
And they couldn't sense their energies.
"You didn't." Trunks glared up at Dr. Gero.
The mad scientist kept his smile. "My apologies Trunks, but when I was told of such specimens I could not resist, I needed to see what I can do with them, I think you'll be pleased with their upgrades."
They were converted into Androids, Trunks couldn't hold it in anymore and was forced to go Super Saiyan.
Iolite didn't know Tarble, she only heard of him from her family, still it pained her to see her grand uncle like this. She wondered what her grandfather would think. And Zangya, her Auntie, she's been turned against her will as well.
Her hair spiked up as she had to use Super Saiyan unable to keep in her rage.
"Now wait a moment." Towa appeared between the Androidized Tarble and Zangya. "I have something too."
"Towa!" Trunks yelled. "You have no idea what you're doing, I'm gonna make you pay for all this!"
Towa only smiled in response before tapping her staff.
"Even this?" A portal opened beside her.
A figure walked in between 'Tarble' and 'Zangya'.
It was one Trunks recognized right away.
"Even him?" Trunks asked with his eyes shaking. "Tapion?"
It was a white skinned man with red hair, wearing brown garbs, wielding the Brave Sword just as the Tapion Trunks knew long ago.
Only there was one notable difference. Two black horns were potruding out of his head.
"Those horns, what are-" Trunks realized that he can sense Taipan's energy. He wasn't an Android but he seemed something worse. "No, Towa, why does he have Hirudegarn's energy?"
Lazuli put a hand on her husband's shoulder trying to calm him though she herself seemed to be having trouble doing so.
"Oh that?" Towa smirked tilting her head. "I separated them but then I realized that the two seemed inseparable so I took some of Hirudegarn's material and added it on to him, now he's basically a demon under my control." She looked to Tapion who didn't respond, clearly he was perfectly under her control.
Trunks glared at Towa just about ready to attack.
"Control yourself." The Zangya on their side spoke. "Do not attack yet, we need to do this carefully."
The others heed her advice realizing that she was right, they needed to remain on task they had no idea what other surprises they had in store.
"Now that all of you are acquainted, it's time to begin." Dr. Gero spoke to all. "Be ready to finish our little war."
Zangya glared up at Dr. Gero while the others kept themselves in check.
"Old man, where are they?" She demanded. "Where are 17 and 18?"
"You will find them in time." Dr. Gero simply said.
All glared at him but then they focused on the foes in front of them made of allies either present or long gone.
They needed to discuss how to handle this preferring to incapicate them with the exception of Android 21.
"I'll handle Tarble" Trunks offered. "I trained with him for a year, I should know every trick he has, if I can knock him out quickly, I'll deal with Tapion the same way."
"I'll handle their Android of me." Zangya said without leaving room to argue. "Unlike the rest of your allies, my counterpart doesn't have a shred of decency, not before I was with you Lapis." She said to her husband.
Lapis wasn't sure how to argue that, he looked at his wife's counterpart with a blank look.
Iolite couldn't help but wonder if that was true looking to the Android version of her Auntie, but if she herself said it, than how can she disagree.
"Sorry that's not how this goes." Towa said before looking to Android 21.
The pink Android pressed a button as she landed alongside 16.
The entire glowed white.
It blinded the Z-fighters while Towa's minions just stared as they all seemed to vanish.

Trunks opened his eyes and looked around.
It didn't seem he was in the metal fortress anymore.
In front of him looked like a castle on top of a cliff, beneath the castle was a pillar that came from the ground underneath.
The sky is red as blood.
Trunks looked above and at the castle.
"Is this" He thought of his time in Otherworld meeting his father when he told him of his family. The red sky the castle's structure. "Planet Vegeta?"
Trunks looked around wondering what this was, did they send him back in time? Is this Planet Vegeta before Frieza destroyed it?
The half Saiyan flew towards the castle and noticed something.
No energy.
He couldn't sense any energy in the area around him.
Not Saiyans or wildlife that would be here.
Trunks made it to the castle entrance and walked inside.
After walking up the stares he can see statures of guards surrounding what looked like a throne.
In its seat was not King Vegeta.
But his second born son.
"You are finally here." Tarble said sitting in what looked like his father's throne. "Greetings, nephew."
Trunks stared at his uncle, so he was aware that he was Vegeta's son.
"Tarble" Trunks wanted to reach out to him but wasn't sure how to since his counterpart likely never met him, so he decided to ask something else. "What is this, where are we?"
Tarble looked around him. "We are still in Dr. Gero's fortress, the doctor had each of us teleported with one of you to deal with."
Tarble looked around him. "We are still in Dr. Gero's fortress, the doctor had each of us teleported with one of you to different room to deal with you." He looked around the throne room. "What you see around you is just a simulation of a different time and place." He looked all around. "Look around, a shame that you never got to see your ancestral home."
Trunks glanced around the palace, it was as his father described. So this is where he'd be if he had been crowned king. Why did they put him in here? Was it because Tarble requested it or is it some sick joke."
Tarble himself looked around. "You know I never been to the throne room, father immediately sought to vanish me as soon as he saw my power level, making room for his favored son. That spoiled brat was born lucky, while I was lucky to be born."
Trunks hearing that couldn't help but compare it to the Tarble he knew. "You never spoke of my father that way, this is something their making you say."
"Or maybe it's something I always thought." Tarble stood up and his hair became golden as his nephew. "Maybe I was too afraid to speak my mind because of my lack of strength." Blue lightning spread around him showing that he was now at the second level.
Trunks couldn't sense his power, but he remembered his past experience with Android Super Saiyans. His hair grew even sharper showing blue lightning around his body.
"You had power when we met." Trunks stated. "Stronger than even Android 16, you didn't speak that way then, uncle please come to your senses."
Tarble only glared as he took a fighting stance identical to the late Vegeta. "Enough, come, show me the power of elite, my brother was so proud of."
Trunks took his own fighting stance, he knew what Towa was doing, he put him against Tarble because he knew he'd struggle to take him down.
So who did they put the others against?
XXX
Another Room
Lapis looked all around suprised where he was. A familiar island lushed with green forests.
"Lapis"
The Cyborg recognized that voice and turned.
Zangya seemed to have appeared with him. "What happened why are we back here?"
"I was about to ask the same about you."Lapis responded. "Do you know where the others are?"
"No" She looked around. "Do you think this place is our real island?"
Lapis looked around the island. "No, the animals, I don't sense anything from them." The Android turned his back to look down.
Zangya had a worried look before smiling and throwing a kick.
The Cyborg rose an arm to block the kick from her.
The Hera frowned, she thought she'd land that.
Lapis turned to her unbothered.
'Zangya' jumped back while crossing her arms. "So you knew, what gave me away?"
"I can't sense your energy." Lapis responded calmly. "Not to mention, Zangya would react more calmly, your acting was really off."
'Zangya' smiled at him. "Oh well, I knew it wouldn't work, I guess that makes it easier for you doesn't it?" She put hand to her chest. "Are you really willing to do away with little ole me?"
Lapis frowned, so this is what they were doing. He was going to have to kill his wife's counterpart to get through.
"Y'know, I'm sure it bothers you to have been forced into being an Android, you don't need to obey them like me and my sister."
'Zangya' chuckled. "Why would I? Look at me I'm far, far more powerful then Bojack, not to mention I have a few other upgrades that would make your wife jealous." She waved a finger towards herself. "Come, let me show you, 'hubby'."
Lapis made a mental note to destroy Gero bit by bit this time.

Lazuli was standing in the middle of a city, one she recognized easily.
Guilt that she had carried with her ever since she was wished back to life started to fester.
She remembered where this was.
"This is Pepper Town."
"The city where you killed your husband's teacher."
Lazuli turned around not recognizing that voice.
It was the pale swordsman that Trunks had reacted to.
"You, you're Tapion." Lazuli said to him.
"Grr" Tapion growled not in a threatening way, but like he was trying to restrain himself. "I hope you remember fondly the pain you caused others, including the one you claim to love."
Lazuli squeezed her fists hearing that but she kept herself in check.
"Listen, my husband, he idolized you as a child, come to your senses and help us."
Tapion pulled out his sword and aimed it towards her. "If you wish to aid your loved ones than put me down, just as you did to the one called Gohan."
Lazuli knew he was no Android, so Towa was likely using magic to brainwash him into saying this, to manipulate her to hold back.
She squeezed her fists, her husband and daughter needed her, she can't stay forever.
But she didn't want to kill another of Trunks's friends, alternate timeline or not.
That Towa woman, is going to die screaming.

Zangya stood in a forest with yellow grass and plants that reached the top of buildings.
She looked up at the light yellow skies.
"Planet Hera?" She recognized her home planet.
"Do you like it? I thought it'd be a good final sight to see."
Zangya turned to see the pink Android swaying her long tail behind her breaking rock.
"Hmph, it's a decent replica." Zangya noted. "I'm suprised your here alone, you don't think this will be the same outcome as last time?"
21 chuckled. "Oh no don't worry I'm sure you've improved, you have to if your going to stand a chance. We played a game that we didn't get to finish."
Zangya immediately transformed showing paler skin and blood red hair.
"Oh" 21 was pushed back from the power. "Wow, this is nothing short of amazing."
The Hera said nothing as the ground beneath her cracked and turned to rubble from the magnitude of her power. Those three years in the time chamber really paid off.
"I am going to make you vomit blood, for what you did to 16." She said in a vicious tone.
21 chuckled. "Your welcome to try, just so you know though, I'm the only one who'd know how to reset 16 to the inferior personality you knew, keep that in mind as you try to kill me."
Zangya didn't respond to that, she only took her fighting stance hoping that the others would be safe.

Another Simulation
Iolite was standing in front of Capsule Corporation, she looked around in her Super Saiyan form.
Behind her a projectile was heading towards her.
The young woman jumped able to avoid it.
When she jumped a few feet away she can see a robotic fist in the ground. The fist rose and rocketed back to where it came from.
16 in his new body revealed himself glaring down at Iolite.
"16!" Iolite yelled looking at him.
"Your reflexes are impressive, you did not sense my attack, you are likely used to sparring with Androids to know when an attack is coming."
Iolite looked around at Capsule corporation around her. "16 please, don't you remember me? You used to play with me here and in grandma's garden when I was only five years old, stop all of this and help us!"
Android 16 glared at her, he had no reaction whatsoever to her.
"My function is to ensure you are removed from Android 21's sight, once I am done here your parents will be next."
Iolite couldn't take hearing him speak like this. It wasn't the Android she grew up with, 21 and Towa really did corrupt her uncle.
"16" She sighed as her grew spikier showing Super Saiyan 2, she might have to jump to three, but she didn't want to hurt him if she can help it.
Last time 16 was destroyed they got lucky that enough of him survived, but if she destroys all of him then they can't use the dragon balls.
"I promise you I'm way stronger than before, so adding the other Androids like 13 did won't do you any good."
16's eyes calculated her power level, it was quite the jump. In this form she would be capable of fighting either 17 or 18, that Towa had taken from Dr. Gero's timeline.
But it is of no concern.
XXX
In A Dark Room
Cell sat in his chair, it was too hard to see him in his new form.
With a smile he pressed a button.
He had a message for all to hear.
"Attention visitors, I welcome you to Dr. Gero's Limitless Fortress."
XXX
Across All Simulations
Trunks, Lapis, Lazuli, Zangya, and Iolite listen to the voice they never heard while watching their opponents.
"I am pleased to announce, my own martial arts tournament." He yelled. "This will decide the fate of all timelines, get past your opponents and you will have the opportunity to face the pinnacle of Dr. Gero's creations, fail and the good doctor will use you for experiments, now that you are aware of the stakes, it is time to begin, the Beyond Games!"
Lapis couldn't help but wonder, 'pinnacle of Dr. Gero's creations?' Did he mean he and his sister's counterparts?
Lazuli thought the same thing wondering who was even speaking, it didn't sound like Gero or 17.
"And I must say I have such high hopes for one individual." The being spoke. "Trunks, I hope to see you there soon."
That puzzled Trunks for a moment to make him look up.
XXX
Trunks and Tarble
Trunks looked up where he heard the voice. Who was that? Why did it feel like he knew this voice. It wasn't 17, nor Gero, any voice he can remember.
But something about the way he spoke it felt so strange. He had a sense of dread, a pain formed in his neck, it was like a noose.
He heard a cracking sound, it almost sounded like it came from his neck.
Why? Who was that?
Just then an energy blast was fired, Trunks was brought back to reality and deflected it forcing it out one of the palace's windows.
Tarble then appeared behind Trunks with his leg pulled back.
Trunks brought an arm down to block the kick.
The half Saiyan then turned while swinging his right elbow for his face.
But his uncle caught it in his palm and struggled as he was pushed back.
Trunks looked at Tarble as he backed away.
"Who was speaking just now?" Trunks asked. "Is there someone else besides 17 and 18?"
Tarble only glared. "You have more pressing matters." He vanished.
So did Trunks, the two fought all over the throne room.
The two appeared in the air with Tarble trying to chop at Trunks's neck only for it be blocked by an arm.
Trunks then slammed a fist into Tarble's abdomen, the half Saiyan then threw an uppercut and kicked at the Android's waist.
Tarble hit the palace ground making a hole that likely lead to a basement, but jumped up, Trunks was nowhere to be found, he scanned the area around him and turned around expecting him to be behind him.
But the ground beneath started to crack.
Until Trunks flew up with his leg extended.
Too slow to react Tarble was struck up his chin sending his body rotating.
The Android landed many feet away from Trunks on the blood red carpet.
Tarble stood up while wiping blood off his mouth and looked at Trunks. "I see, you went through the hole you made when you struck me to catch me off guard, clever as expected of Vegeta's son."
Trunks stared at Tarble with a stern expression.
"Good, I see you have no desire to reason with me." He lifted a hand showing a yellow energy ball before tossing it his way. "Now she me how true royalty fights!"
The half Saiyan deflected the energy blast and ran towards him.
Tarble ran forward with another energy ball in hand.
Trunks was ready to defend himself from this orb.
But to his surprise Tarble struck the ground with his energy creating a smokescreen.
Without sensing his energy or seeing him Trunks had trouble finding him, though sparring with Lapis and Lazuli constantly let him learn to hone his other senses.
A fist was thrown for Trunks's right.
The half Saiyan caught it and threw his own towards Tarble's face.
But then he felt something furry wrap around his wrist, he was suprised to see a Saiyan tail pull his fist down along with his upper body.
Tarble smiled before lifting both feet and slamming them up against his chin.
Trunks was sent upwards but recovered quickly and sees Tarble flying up to him.
His uncle threw a spin kick towards his head but the half Saiyan blocked it.
And so Tarble slammed his forehead against Trunks's forcing his head to pull back.
The shorter Super Saiyan 2 then threw a fist up Trunks's gut.
Trunks grabbed the punch before it could land.
Tarble tried with all his might to pull himself free from the Saiyan but it was clear that Trunks had superior strength.
"Tarble, I know we haven't met in your timeline and i'm sorry about that, but please come to your senses, this isn't who you are." He tried to reason. "You never card for your birthright, don't make me do something I'll regret, I need to get to my family, my wife and daughter are in danger and I need you to help me! You can help me save Tapion to! Please it would pain my father to see you like-"
"Don't you dare bring up that monster of a sibling!" Tarble yelled. "He was no different than my father! He was only concerned about strength and didn't care when I was cast aside!"
Trunks can see that not only was he obeying Dr. Gero but he seemed to harbor a grudge towards the other prince. Despite him telling him stories of how he tried to help him in their youth. Maybe that's part of what's keeping him programmed.
As Trunks kept Tarble in a grip lock he thought of something. Who were the others facing? Was it the other five they saw, the other Zangya, 16, 21, and Tapion? Or worse were they facing Super 17 and 18.
Was his daughter facing them? Iolite may have grown far more powerful than expected but he knew she had her limits.
"In that case" The half Saiyan pulled Tarble close. "I'm sorry." He lifted his knee into Tarble's stomach, he then pulled it back before slamming a fist up Tarble's chin, and then a chop at Tarble's side, before kicking down his waist.
Tarble hit the ground causing the palace to shake. The Saiyan grinned as blood left his mouth. "You are your father's son!" He yelled before pulling his hands back and glowed purple.
Trunks pulled back his own arms ready to show the same move.
"Galick Gun!"
Both royal Saiyans fired the Vegeta Family technique.
The attacks met in the middle and shook the entire simulated castle.
Trunks struggled for a moment, this Tarble was strong, stronger than his own Super Saiyan 2 was not too long ago. He would've had to use his Ultimate Form to stop him.
Before he used the Time Chamber.
"Hope you survive this." Trunks said as he yelled unleashing his full power at Super Saiyan 2.
Tarble screamed as he was pushed back.
A gigantic purple laser was fired from the side of the palace and surrounded the area in a purple light.
Trunks stood after firing his technique, he held back just enough for him to survive. At least he hoped he did.
The Half Saiyan walked towards the giant hole he made and was about to race towards him.
"Incredible, your father is probably rolling in his grave for never finding this kind of power."
Trunks stopped to hear Tarble talk without any pain in his voice. He landed right where he was blasted, but more strangley he didn't seemed harmed.
Parts of his armor were shattered, but there wasn't a single scratch on his body.
"What? Were you holding back? That should've been enough to knock you out." If he was holding back then he may have to resort to his max.
Tarble grinned before dashing forward.
Faster than he was before.
Trunks rose an arm to block a fist aiming for his face.
But Tarble pulled it back and kicked up Trunks's chin.
The impact was so strong that blood leaked out of the younger Saiyan's mouth.
The nephew tried to retaliate with a fist.
But Tarble caught it and pulled before using an elbow into his abdomen.
Again it was far from the strength the Android used before forcing Trunks to bend forward.
The shorter SSJ 2 slammed a kick into Trunks's face.
Trunks crashed up into the throne forcing it to crumble.
The half Saiyan pushed himself up with blood leaving his face. He looked down at Tarble wondering what had happened.
"I'm sure you know what happens when a Saiyan recovers from near death." Tarble smirked as he walked forward. "You shouldn't have held back with that Galick Gun, that was your best chance to kill me."
Trunks recognized what he meant.
"A Zenkai?" He asked. "Just one shouldn't make you that much stronger."
"Correct" Tarble smiled. "After all how many times had a Zenkai boost made you improve? One of the upgrades the doctor had given me, I'm not just an Android, I'm the Ultimate Saiyan."
Trunks found it odd that he was telling him this instead of just taking advantage of his lack of knowledge. Was the real Tarble trying to explain to him to tell him not to hold back?
"How did you recover?" He asked. "You basically said I almost killed you, did Gero give you regenrating to?"
Tarble smirked as he kept walking until he was just a few feet away from him.
"Sort of, Dr. Gero also made my power core able to generate not just artificial Ki, but a long forgotten power that hasn't been used since before you were born." His eyes glowed red. "My body can produce Blutz Waves."
Blutz Waves, that's what his mother said what was needed to-
Tarble growled as though he were a beast, he grew fangs and his body began to grow.
Trunks watched in shock as his uncle without the aid of a full moon or Power Ball was turning into the form he thought he'd never seen.
Tarble grew fur but it wasn't dark brown but golden like a Super Saiyan.
Eventually his body outgrew the palace's roof.
Great Ape Tarble let out a roar ready to destroy his nephew.

Lapis and 'Zangya'
Lapis blocked a punch from the duplicate of his wife.
He then threw a hand chop at her neck.
It landed forcing her to tilt.
Lapis then threw a fist across her face, he rose to throw another one.
But 'Zangya' rose a hand to catch the punch, with a grin she kicked at his side, making him bend, she then kicked at his waist forcing him back.
Lapis caught himself before he'd be sent flying and looked at the Android version of his wife.
"Come on honey." 'Zangya' grinned raising a finger. "I'm sure you know I like it rough."
"Tch" That made Lapis angry before flying forward.
'Zangya' aimed her hands forward using a familiar ability that shouldn't work on an Android.
Lapis stopped as he glowed purple, he knew this move. This alone shouldn't work on him, the best it should do is pull him but he actually couldn't move.
This made the Android Hera chuckle as she walked forward with her hands out trapping her opponent. "C'mere….hubby."
Lapis tried to move but his face was kicked as was her body, 'Zangya' was kicking across his body while using her Psycho Threads to drain his power.
In pain the Cyborg grunted before unleashing a barrier around himself, breaking the threads around his body.
Lapis then kicked into her abdomen forcing her back.
'Zangya' grabbed her stomach and grinned. "Aww still holding back? Why, you think you can't look at sweet little Joyaku's face knowing you killed his mother?"
The Cyborg gritted his teeth. "If you know about him than you know who named him."
"After my brother." 'Zangya' said smiling. "The only person in my family, on my planet to who cared for me." She said as though she were reminiscing. "I can't believe this version of me was soft enough to tell you about her sob story. Heh, much less wanted a brat, all they do is whine and complain, once we're done here, I'm killing her and paying that little shit a visit, it's better ."
Lapis was deeply disturbed hearing that, he knew of his wife's sins, he knew of the person she used to be. But hearing her say this made his stomach churned. If he was still Android 17 he would've been indifferent to this.
"Dr. Gero is making you say that." He responded. "He has to be, I know you hated your people, but you can't mean that over a kid."
'Zangya' tilted her head. "Oh? Did I strike a nerve hubby? All kids are good for is to be hostages. I had to kill a few to force heros to bow to Bojack, I did with a smile to, did your wife not tell you that?"
Lapis sighed and raced towards her.
He threw a fist which 'Zangya' caught with in her palm.
The enhanced human threw a kick again only for his wife's counterpart to catch it in her palm again.
It continued like this, he would throw punches and kicks while Zangya would focus on defense forcing her back, but she would focus on blocking by catching.
"Are you still holding back?" 'Zangya' scoffed. "Ugh, I truly must've really lowered my standards if I settled for you, I didn't even let Kugo touch me and he was almost as cold blooded as Bojack!" She caught a hand chop and grinned to his face. "So far you'd barely qualify" She rose a foot kicking up his chin. "as a boytoy!"
Lapis was sent upward but before he could be sent even further up he felt himself ensnared, he glowed purple as he felt his strength lowering.
'Zangya' smiled as she rose a hand aiming her other. "Beauty Trigger." She fired her signature attack while using her other hand to keep Lapis in one place and drain his energy into her own.
The fire energy blast was heading towards him while he was in place.
Lapis growled as he spoke. "Kaioken" He able to move despite the threads and aimed his hand down at her.
'Zangya' smiled as she felt something as Lapis used Kaioken, her body started to have veins.
Once the brunette repotisioned himself he aimed his hand down, intending on ending the battle here and now, with all his might. He had no time for this, his real wife needed him, he would do his best to ensure this version of her survived, but if she couldn't so be it.
"Photon Flash!"
The yellow energy wave easily swallowed 'Zangya's and headed for her.
Though the Hera didn't panic, she smiled as she spread her hands forward.
In her palms she revealed red energy beads, the energy wave would drain and go into her palms.
"What?!" Lapis yelled as she watched his attack go into her.
Once it was done his attack dissapated showing 'Zangya' with her palms out.
"Absorption beads." Lapis recognized them, he didn't expect Gero to rely on one of his earlier models.
'Zangya' grinned before flying up now far stronger than she was before.
Still in Kaioken Lapis tried to fight back.
The entire time Zangya was trying to block or grab him with her palms.
Lapis realized that she was getting stronger, her beads can take in much more energy than other Androids he'd seen.
Just then he glowed purple. "W-what?" He was ensnared by a a purple thread though 'Zangya' didn't have her hands out.
"I guess your wife never bothered planting her threads around you since they wouldn't work." 'Zangya' sat down and watched Lapis's power drain. Strangely she didn't seem bothered with attacking while the brunette was trapped. "But with Gero's upgrades ally abilities work just fine on you.
Lapis was losing strength, just like he did when the Zangya he knew would use it.
With a real he maxed out his Kaioken at times 10, the threads all broke apart.
And 'Zangya' smiled and her pupils went blank, her threads were taking in the power.
As the brunette broke free in times 10 he noticed something. The Hera Android's energy, it just spiked a huge amount.
"Don't tell me." Lapis whispered to himself. "Her threads don't just deplete energy, they add it to her own." That's something his Zangya can't do.
The brunette backed away for some space still using Kaioken, if this keeps going he may have to resort to Bulma's upgrade. But still he wasn't sure he remembered what Gero's programming did to him and his sister. But also remembered the person Zangya used to be, and this version of her may mean what she says.
"Aww" 'Zangya' cooed. "Feeling gun-shy now, fine, I've absorbed enough by now."
"Enough for what?" Lapis demanded, he knows for damn sure that she couldn't have taken enough for her to overwhelm him with Kaioken times 10, with what little she managed to absorb.
"'As I said, your counterpart would be jealous of me. "Zangya' closed her eyes and she started to glow.
Once the light faded a new figure arose that made Lapis back pedal a little.
'Zangya' now had a taller stature, as tall as Super 17 and Super 18 were.
Her hair was still puffy reaching her back, but a fluff was now on the right side of her face, her outfit was what both Zangya's wore, only with bronze padding on them.
This version had her own Super form.
"Hmm, I guess this makes me Super 100" She frowned. "No, I think Empress Zangya would be better, wouldn't you dear?" She asked Lapis before vanishing.
She appeared in front of the now much shorter Lapis still in his Kaioken times 10, he now stood at only her waist, he had to step back.
'Zangya' rose two fingers and flicked his forehead.
This sent him flying in the air with blood leaking out of his forehead even at times 10.
'Zangya' rose a hand ready to finish this fight and move on to her counterpart.
XXX
Zangya and 21
Zangya threw a fist across 21's face.
But the Android wrapped her long tail around the Hera's waist and pulled before swiping a clawed strike against her.
This swiped caused her head to turn.
21 then threw several punches and kicks across her body.
But Zangya showed able to evade or block most if not all of them.
"Not using your little trick?" 21 asked. "You didn't think I didn't have my own upgrades did you?"
It was true, 21 was actually a lot stronger than they were when they first met. She definitely fine tuned her body the last time they fought. After three years in the hyperbolic time chamber, Zangya's base would overwhelm the 21 she fought.
"I'm only seeing how much I have to hold back to avoid killing you." Zangya responded as she jumped back and spread her hands apart unleashing her Psycho Threads.
21 can see the threads and evaded them, using her body's elascity to stretch and avoid having her energy deplete.
"Aww, worried about 16?" 21 asked as she aimed a finger and fired a Death Beam.
Zangya jumped as it destroyed the rock she was standing on.
"Don't he's right where he belongs!" 21 yelled with a crazed grin before tossing a powerful energy blast at her. "With his doting parents!"
The Hera leaned back to barely avoid the blast, she flipped and aimed her hands at 21 before firing multiple green energy blasts.
All the blasts hit the ground making multiple green explosions.
21 flew up above the red trees of the simulated Hera.
But to her surprise Zangya appeared behind her and kicked down her head, she then raced down kicking across her body before ending her combination with a round house kick across her face.
This sent the Majin Android flying and crashing through the many trees surrounding them.
21 stood back up with blood leaking out and still smiling.
Zangya landed right in front of her.
"You're fixing him now!" Zangya demanded. "If not, then your going to scream every time you regenerate."
"Oh?" 21 smiled. "Like your friends are right now? You heard what the voice said, where do you think your cute little niece and husband are?"
Zangya thought that was the case, of course she sent them to fight 16 and her counterpart. Knowing how soft her husband can be he'd struggle with killing her counterpart, and Iolite. She may be strong, but she would want to save 16 no matter the cost, and she's not sure how deep his programming goes this time.
"Take me to them now!" She yelled before firing a Beauty Trigger at her.
The fire like energy ball missed, with a smile 21 aimed a finger at Zangya.
Zangya just glared confident that she can neutralize whatever she fires.
21 fired an electric pink beam towards her.
The Hera's eyes widened, she didn't sense any energy.
With caution the green woman dodged as the pink beam hit one of the trees.
The red tree glowed pink before changing and turning into a giant red lollipop.
Zangya's eyes widened before shifting to 21 who had a frown.
"Aww, how did you know? I thought you'd try to deflect it." She jumped on the tree sized lollipop and took a bite out of it.
That could have been the alien if she had touched it.
"I had a magician as a comrade once." She remembered Bujin who relied on illusions but he had a spell or two up his sleeve. "Not to mention I allowed a group of weaklings an attack that didn't use much energy a long time ago." The Kais sealed her along with the other Galaxy Soldiers. "I knew better than to just take whatever you had to throw at me."
21 smiled. "Ooh, ok, in that case I'll try a little harder, I just discovered this ability not too long ago,I can't wait to turn you into a cupcake with orange frosting!" She licked her lips.
Zangya was disgusted, she thought of the situation her friends and family are fighting against those they don't want to destroy, 16 may not got back to normal without 21, but leaving her alive may result in the Hera allowing themselves to be a snack.
She may have no choice but to end it now, if not to save everyone, then to minimize losses.
Memories of 16 came to her mind and the pain of losing him. She can't make the wrong decision here.
XXX
Lazuli and Tapion
In the city simulation Lazuli was jumping between building.
Each building was struck with an energy slash and cut in half making them all fall.
Lazuli looked at Tapion as he kept flying towards her.
He hasn't lost a bit of energy, he's no Android but it's as though he had never ending stamina, whatever monster that Towa had fused him with must be why.
"Stop running!" Tapion yelled in a deep voice before.
He appeared right in front of the blonde.
With surprise she let out a pale red aura and backed away as the slash missed.
Now with Kaioken she rose her hands and fired pink energy blasts.
Tapion watched as the Infinity Bullet charged at him, all aimed at him and homed in on him, no way he'd be able to escape.
Just then a dark mist appeared where he was standing.
The energy blasts hit the ground causing explosions all over the city.
Lazuli stood vigilant nothing but this weird smoke was from where Tapion was standing.
If Tapion really used fused with Hirudegarn, then there was one ability he should be able to have, one that her husband told her about.
The mist stretched and formed above where she was floating.
Tapion flew down with his sword up ready to cut her in half.
Lazuli pushed her Kaioken to times 4 and rose her hands to catch the blade between her hands.
"You shouldn't just defend." Tapion showed his fangs. "It only gives me time to cut you down."
Lazuli found that strange, was he giving her advice?
Tapion kicked at her shin forcing her to let go.
The swordsman then slashed across her waist.
The attack landed making her bleed.
Lazuli backed away and landed on the ground, but then she noticed a crack.
She looked behind her and was suprised.
There was something there… more like someone.
It was a young man with short black hair, he had an orange and blue gi.
Gohan, her husband's only friend.
Lazuli froze at the sight, memories featured, she remembered what she did to him, the pain she brought her love.
"Focus on the task ahead of you!"
She jumped as Tapion almost slashed cut across her.
The swordsman glanced down at the body. "Cowardly tactics" He noted before staring up at Lazuli who still had trouble looking away from Gohan's body. "Stay focused, taking your eyes off me, means your end, it may end with whoever you care about."
Lazuli realized that Tapion wasn't just fighting her, he was trying to get her to stop him anyway she can even if it means killing him.
"Tapion are you" Lazuli began. "You can hear me, listen my husband he really needs your help in my timeline you and he-"
"Gahhhhh!" Taipan's eyes glowed red and a black aura stretched across the simulated city.
His power was raising even further, this must be Towa she was using her magic to enhance even more.
Tapion screamed as he dropped to his knees, he glared at Lazuli. "It's too late… for me… you must.."
Suddenly the swordsman would be going through another change his horns grew longer, his skin became yellow as Hirudegarn's, his shoulders grew black pads.
The old hero growled as he glared up at Lazuli.
"Tell me Android." Tapion spoke in a demonic tone and gestured to Gohan's corpse next to him. "Do you think you can take someone else away from Trunks? Are you willing to cause him more pain?"
It's clear that he was now under control of Towa.
Lazuli can sense that his power was rising, it was already above what she's capable of times 10 even after she had gained the strength of her counterpart.
Whatever Tapion told her before this, he was trying to convince her to do what she has to do, before Tapion can finish her.
Before her daughter, husband, brother and friend may pay for the cost of her hesitance.
XXX
Iolite and 16
16 was launching several rocket fists, each time he would sprout new arms.
Iolite still in Super Saiyan 2 was firing Infinity Bullet hitting every projectile.
The young Saiyan ran forward still firing energy blasts to counter the barrage of fists while getting closer.
Once she was close she jumped and threw a straight kick for the Android's face.
16 caught the leg and threw a fist across Lazuli.
This sent her skidding across the capsule corp grounds.
The brute jumped and slammed a kick down her waist.
"Power like this, cannot match me." 16 said to her. "It will not be long before you're destruction."
"16…" Iolite gritted her tooth as she tried to push the brute's boot off of him, she then rose her arm, showing the red energy in the shape of her family symbol. With Royal Blade she chopped the foot off the Android.
This made the brute stumble, wires connected to his foot.
The daughter of Trunks took advantage and kicked into his chest.
This made the Android stumble and fall on his rear.
"Sorry" Iolite said to him.
"Apologies to enemy, is unnecessary." The Android said. "Children like you should not be involved in combat."
He said nothing and his eyes glowed green.
Iolite side stepped multiple times avoiding his eye lasers.
She landed on top of the simulated capsule corporation.
Iolite stared down at 16 who only kept trying to attack her. "You remember when I was little I kept asking you to spar?" She asked trying keep calm. "You always said that it was too dangerous, you and dad always babied me. Even now with you lecturing me it feels like all you see is that little brat I used to be"She put her hair behind her right ear as her mother did.
16 only stared at her and kept walking forward.
Iolite realized that this 16 must be stronger than her mom and uncles counterparts were before they fused.
If she was going to bring him back she was going to have to go all out.
The Android vanished and threw a fist down where she was standing.
Iolite backflipped to evade it, her hair started to extend and her pupils glowed green.

Planet Vegeta Simulation
Golden Ape Tarble threw a fist down at Trunks.
The Super Saiyan 2 jumped before it struck.
The Oozaru kicked where Trunks was forcing him out of the palace.
Trunks didn't believe that this was just tenfold, was it because his body kept producing Blutz Waves?
The ape then appeared where Trunks was headed and kicked him up ward.
Tarble appeared up above and slammed his fists down where Trunks was rising.
Trunks crashed into the ground making a huge crater.
Clearly this wasn't just the super charged Zenkai boost, he was still getting stronger.
"Do you see now boy?" Tarble yelled in his deep beastly voice. "If your going to win, then you will need to do what your father would do and kill me, like a true Saiyan."
Tarble then jumped with large fists risen ready to slam down at Trunks once he landed.
Trunks can tell that his uncle really was trying to tell him to kill him and move on.
The Great Ape landed and slammed his fists down at Trunks.
Tarble smiled with his fangs out.
But then white lightning surrounded where his nephew was.
He felt a push force him up, his built in sensors told him that Trunks's power had risen.
And he wasn't the only one, throughout Dr. Gero's Limitless Fortress, the other Z-fighters would also use their maximum.

Lapis's Island Simulation
Empress Zangya fired a powerful energy wave from her finger at Lapis intending on destroying him.
But just then the brunette glowed a bright white as she did.
The Android Hera looked unimpressed as finally Lapis would unveil his latest trump card.
He landed on the ground in front of the Android Zangya, only this time he went through a change.
Lapis was now at the same height as Empress 'Zangya' or Android 100, he looked older, wearing clothing more similar to his original outfit only with bronze in various places on his outfit.
"You know what, you're right." Lapis said, clearly in control unlike he feared when he thought. "Your not my wife, not the mother of my child, so I'm going to make you get out of my way no matter what I have to do. And I know what my wife would want to me to do to make that happen"

Planet Hera Simulation
21 had to step back as her opponent glowed a bright violet Aura, just being in her presence felt like she was losing energy.
Zangya was now in her Psycho State, no longer was she willing to hold back. "If what your saying is true, then I have to hope that either Bulma can fix him, or that 16 can overcome what you monsters did to him."
XXX
Pepper Town Simulation
The monster powered Tapion stepped back as he was blocked by a bright white light.
Once it faded Lazuli stood now much taller with longer straight hair, with clothes close to her original only with an expose midriff and bronze on his clothing.
"Thank you Tapion." Lazuli said to him. "Trunks would know that I am doing what needs be done for the sake of our daughter, our family."
She glanced at Gohan's corpse one last time before glaring at the controlled Tapion ready to do what she needs to do.
XXX
Capsule Corp Simulation
Android 16 stepped back, he felt the strong Ki push against him, her power was beyond what Dr. Gero's formula predicted.
In his mind, vague images of the little girl came to his mind, one that always wanted to play and get stronger to protect their family.
For some odd reason a small, 16 had a proud smile though his eyes glowed and he frowned.
Iolite stood tall in her wrapped in blue lightning, her long golden hair down her back.
"16" Iolite began. "I trained to save my family, that includes you, you're coming back home and I don't care what I have to do to make it happen! Uncle!"
Her bright golden aura spread all around the area showing that her two years in the time chamber truly paid off.

Planet Vegeta Simulation
Golden Oozaru Tarble stumbled back as his fists were pushed back.
Floating from where he had slammed him Trunks was now in his maximum form.
"Funny, I thought I might have to try this ape form at some point." Trunks eyed the capsule that held his mother's Blutz Waves ray, before putting it in his pocket. "But you know, I hear what your saying uncle, I have a family o protect, and If i have to embrace the darker parts of my Saiyan heritage to do it, then I will!" He yelled as he powered up to his maximum.
Trunks stared at the great beast and was determined to get past Tarble, still he couldn't shake off that voice that spoke.
Who or what spoke to him and why did he feel like he knew who was speaking despite not recognizing the voice?
He still felt a pain in his neck, thinking about it.

Elsewhere
Watching face screens of the fights Cell still covered in shadows was watching.
A new Hera technique, a third Super Saiyan form, an Ultimate Form and two Super Androids.
Cell chuckled. "At last the Beyond Games will start in earnest."
He cannot wait for them to reach him.
Finally now we are starting the final battle.
I based 's Limitless Fortress on the Infiinty Castle from Demon Slayer.
I'm sure you wanted Cell right now and to know what his Beyond Form looks like but as part of dragon ball tradition we gotta have our minions first.
Also we all know what's coming soon, with Trunks, I think a lot of you really will like it.
Review Responces
SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta: Thank you, now she can use Super Saiyan 3 with hardly any strain.
Shadowwriter01: Yep, even worse, Future Seventeen is weaker than the ones from the past that were awakened.
Thank you, I hope your enjoying what I have here as well, there's a lot of fights to manage.
So I know there's a lot fights to go through but I promise we'll go through them at a reasonable pace, we will reach the end soon and then the final battle against Beyond Cell.
Alright guess that's it, have an awesome day! :)
