Being concentrating, Ibara ended up asserting.
" My vines have not spotted any enemy in the surroundings ! For the moment, I think we will not be attacked. "
Being with Ibara, Kendo couldn't help but get angry.
" Stupid magma man ! Because of him we are in a bad situation."
Since Akainu's attack, the two girls had been separated from the rest of their team and Kendo didn't really like that there were only two of them to defend each other in the event of an attack.
" The others must not be far! We will stay here until they can join us. "
" Okay ! "
However, it was at this moment that one of Ibara's vines captured a presence which came dangerously close to them. Then she cried out.
" THERE IS SOMEONE. "
" Huh ? "
Immediately, an explosion destroyed the rock behind which they were hidden. Backing up quickly, the two girls saw Vegeta advancing towards them, while having pieces of torn vines in his hands.
'' Was that supposed to stop me? Pathetic !"
" My vines. "
" He is one of the guys who can change the color of his hair. " Kendo recognized him. " A saiyan of Universe 7. "
" A saiyan? " Ibara repeated. " Like Goku that Giin-sama told us about. "
Walking towards the two girls, Vegeta ended up growling.
" Tsss! Two kids as opponents? I don't see any challenge in that! I really wonder how unconscious your universe must be to decide to trust a group of children. "
Still putting himself in a fighting position, he asserted.
" I will be done with you in two seconds. "
Running then, he rushed towards Ibara. Seeing this, the young one directed her hair towards the saiyan and turned it into vines. However, fluttering in all directions, Vegeta managed to avoid them one by one, before finding himself in front of Ibara.
" You will be the first. "
However, turning around in time, he crossed his arms in front of him, in order to stop the force of a gigantic punch. Feeling himself taking a few steps backwards, he saw Kendo stand in front of Ibara, while asking.
'' Has anyone ever told you that it was rude to hit a young lady? "
Ignoring her words, Vegeta aimed at her with several ki-blasts. Immediately, the vines that Ibara had just created stood in front of the duo and formed a shield.
" FAITH'S SHIELD ! "
Seeing his attacks explode against the vines, Vegeta growled.
" I have a feeling your powers are going to annoy me. "
" What do you think we are? " Ibara questioned him.
" In order to participate in this tournament, we trained for many years. " Kendo taught him. " Don't underestimate us because of our looks. "
" Tsss! Whether you've trained for one, ten, or even a hundred years will never get you to beat me! You have in front of you the prince of the saiyans. "
In response, Ibara raised her vines in the air, before lowering them forcefully to the ground. Avoiding them, Vegeta pretended to attack her, when he saw Kendo running towards him, with her huge fists.
Seeing her do it, Vegeta closed his own fists and banged them against Kendo's. Noticing that both had the same power, Kendo then backed up while shouting.
" IBARA ! "
Right away, two vines came out of the ground, under Kendo's feet and lifted her into the air. Watching her do it, Vegeta then saw her come down. However, he was surprised, as Kendo's body looked much larger than before. Opening his eyes wide, he quickly jumped back, just in time to avoid being crushed under the body of a real giant.
" What … ? "
" I told you that. " Kendo asserted, getting up. " We have trained to the point of improving our Quirks ! Normally mine only allowed me to increase the size of my hands! But after a hard training, it's my whole body that I can make grow! Are you ready to fight against a giant, prince of the saiyans ? "
At that moment, she heard Vegeta snicking.
" What? This is your best strategy ? Do you really think I'm afraid of fighting a giant? Don't make me laugh. "
Rushing towards her, he exclaimed.
" I have defeated enemies much more formidable than you. "
However, he felt his feet being gripped by the vines of Ibara.
" I've got you. " Said the girl.
" What ? "
Immediately, Kendo gave him a powerful punch that made Vegeta crush against a cliff. The next second, he fell back to the ground, while feeling pieces of rock covering him.
" We warned you. " Said kendo.
However, the stones flew through the arena, as Vegeta transformed into a super saiyan.
" No universe can fight me in 1 vs 1 or what ? "
" What ? " The two girls were surprised when they saw a golden aura surrounding him.
Vegeta then rushed towards Kendo and started to give her a barrage of punches. Putting her arms in front of her to protect herself, the poor girl felt each of Vegeta's attacks damage her arms as well as make her back down. With a large difference in detail, the glove returned to Vegeta.
" I also have many tips. " Assured the prince of the saiyans. " A fighter like you doesn't deserve her place here. "
However, he suddenly saw Ibara ascend Kendo's body using her vines before ending up on the giant's head.
" PAINFUL WAY ! "
Stopping his relentlessness on Kendo, Vegeta only burst his energy around him, to create a shock wave, repelling Ibara's attacks.
" This kind of trick will not work against me. " He assured, before stealing against Ibara.
Immediately, the girl created a new shield of vines to protect herself. However, Vegeta used enough power in one punch to destroy him, as well as strike Ibara.
Getting pushed back, Ibara left Kendo's shoulder, while the giantess attempted to slap Vegeta. Avoiding her charge, Vegeta began to harass her again, while attempting to punch her in the face. However, Kendo seemed to find the strength to counter him as he banged his huge fists against his.
Continuing to attack with rage, Vegeta noticed something strange about him. While he had easily gained the advantage, he felt like getting tired quite quickly. Too quickly even. Taking this into account, Kendo redoubled his efforts and ended up hitting Vegeta. Pushing back, Vegeta could barely open his eyes when he saw Kendo's leg in front of him.
Hitted with power, the saiyan was thrown against the central pillar, in which it crashed. Breathing then, Kendo tried to catch her breath, hoping that her attack had calmed the Saiyan.
Unfortunately, part of the pillar then exploded while the saiyan activated super saiyan 2. Letting out a real cry of rage, Vegeta felt a trickle of blood running down his forehead.
" You little ... YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT !"
Charging again, he hit Kendo with enough force to knock her huge body to the ground. Being in a fight, behind her, Tatsumaki and C-17 could only be astonished when they saw the enormous mass fall to them.
Being forced to run away, the duo then felt a shock wave hit them, as Kendo crashed on the ground.
Moaning in pain, the poor girl then saw Vegeta in front of her staring at her. However, instead of immediately finishing her off, Vegeta tried to catch his breath. Despite having transformed, he still felt tired and increasingly weak.
" What happens to me ? The fight has just begun! Is this place what makes me feel tired faster? "
" Hey, you ! " Tatsumaki growled, floating not far from him. " What did you take to send that giantess over me? "
Using her power, she floated rocks that she threw towards Vegeta. Letting himself be hit without reacting, Vegeta used the sheer force of his aura to destroy them. Yet, as all was going well, his aura suddenly dropped so abruptly that a boulder managed to touch him.
" What … ? "
" Stop playing smart if you can't fight like a warrior." Tatsumaki cried, sending him more rocks.
This time, Vegeta began to dodge them. But even so, he felt his body grow so weak that he had to give up Super Saiyan 2.
" What the hell is happening to me ? "
" Hey, Whis. " Cried Beerus. " What's the matter with Vegeta? Don't tell me that his fight with the guys in Universe 2 made him so tired. "
" No, that's not it. " Whis asserted. " Truth be told, I rather feel like someone is stealing Vegeta's energy. "
" Steal his energy? " Beerus wondered, looking at Vegeta.
Suddenly, the God of Destruction saw something strange on Vegeta's leg.
" What is that ? "
Continuing to dodge Tatsumaki's attacks, Vegeta finally sees Kendo getting up. Then, seeing Vegeta's state, the giant returned to her original size, while asserting.
" Our plan is going as planned. "
" What ... What did you do to me? "
Then flying towards Kendo, dodging Tatsumaki's stones, Vegeta aimed his fist at the heroine.
" Take this. "
However, new vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around his body.
" Again that? "
Then, in an instant, the vines began to glow, and Vegeta let out a cry as he felt his energy was being absorbed.
" You understand now ? " Ibara questioned from behind him.
" Y ... You? "
Despite her bloody nose, Ibara appeared to be in great shape. Truth be told, the vines that wrapped around Vegeta seemed to suck his energy and pass it on to Ibara.
" I explain what is happening! I infected you. "
" What ? "
Suddenly mushrooms grew on Vegeta's chest and face, while Ibara asserted.
" A little while ago, before you transform, my vines are wrapped around your leg and I was able to stick mushrooms! These had the effect of forming roots in your skin and harvesting your energy! That's why you felt so weak! And by training, I was able to create a similar attack with my vines! Do you understand now? Komori-chan's powers and mine were able to merge to perfection. "
" What ... What are you talking about? "
" For universe 12, the selected warriors are part of the next generation of heroes of our planet. " Kendo taught him. " According to Giin-sama, we all have extraordinary potential! However, to allow us to compete against you, a team of substitutes has been created! Each of them had a power that could merge with ours! I have the power of Yui Koutei. "
" And me, I have the Kinoko Komuri's power. "
" Do you understand now? Universe 12 doesn't have a team of ten! Twenty of us are fighting! Even if our friends are not present on the ground, they are right now with us, helping us to defeat you! We will never betray their hopes by losing to someone arrogant like you. "
" What did you say ? " Vegeta got angry.
" You have a disproportionate ego. " Ibara asserted. " Even a blind person could see it. "
" You act like a loner without realizing that you need your companions to win. " Kendo adds. " Okay, individually you are stronger than us! However, our work is stronger than you! If you can't admit it, you don't deserve your title of prince. "
" You dirty … " Vegeta got on his nerves. '' AHHHHHHHHHH !
Boosting his energy, he made Ibari's vines more illuminated, which began to grow, as did the mushrooms on his body, which eventually exploded one after the other.
'' WHAT? '' Shouted Kendo.
" Surplus energy. " Ibara frightened. " NOOO ! My vines are going to destroy themselves. "
Trying to further increase his energy to free himself, Vegeta prepared to remove all the parasites that covered his body. However, he couldn't help but be surprised as Ibara questioned him.
" You really thought I was going to say that? "
Immediately, her vines wrapped around Kendo and in an instant, Ibara gave her her surplus energy. It only took a few seconds for Kendo to regain her full vitality, while Ibara's vines had roughened.
For his part, having attempted to destroy the vines of Ibara, Vegeta eventually regains his basic form. He had exhausted himself for nothing.
" Do you understand my power now? I can steal power from an enemy,and in the event of an energy surplus, I can redistribute it to my allies, to prevent it from destroying my vines ! I am the doctor of my group. "
Finally, she let go of Vegeta who fell to his knees.
" Can I throw him off the field? ''Kendo asked.
" Yes ! If I take any more energy from him, I'll kill him. "
But suddenly, Ibara created a new shield, while a boulder had pretended to crash into them. Then, Vegeta's body floated in the air, while Tatsumaki asserted.
" I'm the one who must eliminate him. "
" Who are you ? "
Immediately a vein appeared on Tatsumaki's face, as she roared.
" I am the person you tried to crush, under your big ass. "
Then staring at Vegeta, she ends up throwing him in the direction of the void.
" Disappear. "
However, a sudden ki-blast hit her. Being bothered by the smoke, Tatsumaki opened her eyes to see C-17 in front of her.
" What … ? "
Before she could say anything else, the android punched her, which sent her to the ground. Once done, he rushed to Vegeta and managed to grab him by the hair, preventing him from falling into the void. Laying him back on the ground, C-17 claimed.
" It reminds me of your fight against C-18. "
" Shut … Shut-up ! "
Simply sighing, C-17 formed a ball of energy in his hand, before transferring it to Vegeta's body.
" Hey, you're not nice. " Kendo asserted, standing behind him. " We had a hard time defeating him. "
" In this case, I hope you don't mind my replacing it. "
In response, Ibara opened his arms and immediately, a mushroom field was created. Each of them released spores that invaded the area. Jumping away from the girls, C-17 landed on a rock and saw a purple cloud surrounding the duo.
" Spores ? "
Emerging from the cloud, vines tried to strike him.
" You can always fight against us! However, if you come to us and breathe in these spores, they will block your breathing. "
" Kinoko gave me an antidote. " Kendo asserted. " So it won't do anything to us! You, no."
Continuing to avoid Ibara's vines, C-17 ended up creating a shield around him to defend himself. Pushing back the vines, he then concentrated his power before sending an energy ball.
Growing in size, Kendo grabbed a boulder near her and threw it towards the attack, blocking it.
" Tsss! You are annoying. " C-17 asserted. " I think it's time for me to be serious. "
However, before he could do anything, he heard a scream.
" How... ? How dare you humiliate me? "
Turning around the trio saw Vegeta, standing again, as he showed only rage on his face.
" You dared to ridicule me and then take pity on me? It's not going to be like that! I am … ! I am … ! I am SUPER Vegeta! "
Suddenly, transforming back into super saiyan 2, he released so much energy around him that he chased away the cloud of spores.
" PAINFUL WAY ! "
Seeing Ibara attacking him, Vegeta grabs all of her vines before slicing before his hand. Then he rushed straight towards Ibara. Seeing him do it, Kendo grabbed another rock and this time, she let it grow in her hands.
" What is she doing ? " C-17 wondered.
" I have the power of Yui-san in me. " Kendo assured, while now having a huge boulder above her. " With it, I can make all the objects I touch bigger! So tries to stop it, prince of the saiyans. "
Seeing her throw the huge boulder at him, Vegeta jumped towards the block of rock, before giving it a powerful punch. First repelled by the rock, he ended up screaming before boosting his energy level.
Then, finally, Kendo saw the huge rock break into pieces.
" But how … ? "
Soaring into the air, Vegeta then pointed a hand at Kendo, before focusing his energy on creating a devastating attack.
" It's time for the " BIG BANG ATTACK " ! "
Unable to defend herself, Kendo was struck by the attack, screaming in agony.
" Kendo-san ! " Cried Ibara.
" It's over for her. " C-17 asserted, advancing towards her.
Falling to her knees, Kendo had her body with numerous injuries. No longer able to use her power, she returned to her original size. Vegeta had defeated her in an attack.
" He ... He is too strong. "
" Kendo! Ibara! "
Turning around, Vegeta then saw Tokoyami flying towards them.
" Here's another one I'll take care of. " Assured the saiyan.
However, he stepped aside to avoid a punch from Kendo.
" You again? "
Breathing with difficulty as she struggled to grow her fists, Kendo finally asserted.
'' Better me than the three of us. "
" What ? "
Turning around, Kendo grabed Ibara, before throwing her at Tokoyami.
" Catch! Go quickly. "
Seeing Ibara flying towards her, the crow man used Dark Shadow to grab her. Then, seeing Kendo stand between them and their enemies, Tokoyami finally understood what he needed to do. Vegeta and C-17 were too strong for them. Finally, he left.
" Where do you think you are going ? " C-17 questioned him, starting to aim them.
However, he saw Kendo step in front of him, while clenching her huge fists.
" I would not let you do it. "
However, rushing like a torpedo, Vegeta slammed into her back, damaging her spine. Feeling herself falling forward, Kendo saw C-17 focus his energy before creating an energy wave. Immediately, the body of the young girl was thrown high in the air before falling back into the void.
And two seconds later, she appeared in the stands.
" Kendo-san is eliminated. "
Hearing Kendo's elimination, C-17 pretended to leave. However, he heard Vegeta cry out.
" I never ask for your help. "
Barely giving him a glance, C-17 retorted.
" If you were stronger, I would not have had to intervene. "
" Sorry ? "
" You haven't really changed! Your ego is always present. "
" What are you saying ? "
" Even I have long since stopped underestimating my opponents! Do the same if you don't want to be humiliated. "
And the android then left, leaving an angry Vegeta behind.
