Chapter 29: Super Saiyan Triple Threat
Last Time our heroes were on death's door due to Talon and Cooler, but at the last minute, they are saved by the Z-Fighters! Meanwhile, Elias has awakened to a new form defeating The Puppet and killing Talon for good. Will, our heroes, be able to save Remnant, or will Cooler reign supreme find out now!
One Hour Ago on Earth…
Goku flew high in the sky towards the lookout, having collected the Dragon Balls. The day before, he had brought Dende to Earth to be its new guardian since Kami fused with Piccolo, and they needed Dragon Balls for the upcoming battle with Cell now in his possession. When he touched down on the lookout, the majority of his friends were already there most likely waiting for another go inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber once Vegeta came out.
"Goku, have you found the Dragon Balls?" Piccolo asked.
"Yep, all seven ready for use," Goku answered, holding up a small sack that held the magical orbs.
"So, are you going into the Time Chamber next Piccolo?" Goku asked.
"No, I think I've done all I could have done Trunks is waiting to go in once Vegeta comes out," Piccolo responded, looking over at Trunks.
"I see well, no worries. We still have four days till the Cell Games." Goku smiled.
"I still question your confidence Goku especially since you said that Cell was stronger than you," Piccolo commented.
"Don't worry about it, Piccolo," Goku replied.
"Piccolo may be right though Dad, what will we do if you can't beat him?" Gohan questioned as he and Dende approached Goku.
"Well, it is a tournament, so there are others to fight plus there's always Senzu Beans," Goku answered with confidence. Once they finished talking, Vegeta exited the Time Chamber early, replacing his armor as he walked to the outside.
"Father, why are you out early?" Trunks asked.
"I'm done wasting my time in that place go in if you want. I'm done," Vegeta answered clearly, dissatisfied with his progress in the chamber.
"Well, then I'm going to go take my turn in the chamber." Trunks announced as he took off his newly repaired sword from his back and went to change into the same armor set as his father.
"WAIT, you need to hold off on that!" King Kai yelled, speaking telepathically to the present Z-Fighters.
"Is something wrong, King Kai?" Goku asked.
"Yes you see far from Earth there is a planet named Remnant who has a human population as well as another species called faunus and they are in terrible danger!" King Kai answered.
"Why should we care we have our own problems?" Vegeta questioned.
"Because the being responsible for it is Cooler! He is Frieza's older brother, and if he's not stopped here, he'll become as much of a threat as Cell!" King Kai responded.
"Frieza's older brother!" Vegeta replied in surprise.
"That's right, and that's not all there is also another Saiyan there as well!" King Kai added.
"Another Saiyan, are you sure King Kai?" Goku asked.
"I'm positive I've been watching this boy ever since he turned Super Saiyan and defeated Cooler, but now Cooler has come for revenge, and eventually, he will come to Earth to kill all of you!" King Kai answered.
"There was another Super Saiyan out there." Trunks murmured in disbelief.
"Can you explain the current situation there, King Kai?" Piccolo questioned.
"Cooler has teamed up with another man named Talon, and together they have made powerful androids to take over the world! Innocent people are in danger as we speak as the Saiyan boy is being drained of his energy if nothing is done, he and many others will die." King Kai explained.
"We can't just let that happen!" Goku said, clenching his fists.
"Alright, King Kai, I'll go and save him." Goku volunteered determined to help.
"But Dad, what about Cell?" Gohan asked.
"It'll be fine, Gohan. I'll be back before the Cell Games, and just in case I'll bring a couple of Senzu Beans," Goku answered.
"But Dad, it could be dangerous," Gohan argued.
"He's right, Goku. This seems like it's too dangerous to go alone, and you can't save the kid and the people of that world at the same time." Piccolo agreed.
"Which is why I'm going with him," Vegeta informed, surprising everyone present.
"Father, you want to go help?!" Trunks questioned.
"That does seem out of character for you, Vegeta." Piccolo pointed out.
"The only reason I wish to go is to see this other Saiyan survivor for myself, then I wish to kill Cooler for what his family has done to us, Saiyans," Vegeta explained.
"Well, whatever the reason, you're welcome to come, Vegeta!" Goku exclaimed.
"If my Father is going, then I'll join you to help the people I don't want people to suffer at the hands of androids like I had to." Trunks said, walking up to Goku as he put his sword back on.
"I want to help too, Dad." Gohan voiced.
"No, if Vegeta and I go, you guys need to stay here to take care of Cell in case we don't return," Goku replied.
"But Dad, I can't let you and Vegeta go alone!" Gohan argued.
"I'm sorry son but…" Goku began.
"Face it, Goku. Nothing you say is going to change our minds, so let's go help this kid." Piccolo interrupted.
"You're coming too, Piccolo?" Goku questioned.
"We have the best chance of coming back if more of us go," Piccolo answered.
"Alright, then if that's the case, then I won't stop you guys," Goku replied as he approached Dende.
"Dende, take care of the Dragon Balls while we're gone," Goku said as he handed to the Dragon Balls to the little guardian.
"I will," Dende replied, accepting the magical orbs.
"Alright, how are we getting there, Kakarot?" Vegeta questioned.
"We'll use Instant Transmission to get there now so everyone link up and grab onto my back," Goku explained as everyone did so.
"King Kai, which way is Remnant?" Goku asked.
"Sadly, it's very far away, so it may take you a while to lock on, but I will send the coordinates to your mind." King Kai answered.
"Alright, let's do this!" Goku declared.
When they arrived on Remnant Goku and Vegeta went to save Jason as Piccolo, Gohan, and Trunks went to Atlas until Piccolo split off to help Yang and Blake, who were being attacked by Adam.
Present Time…
Yang helped Blake up, and the two stared at the odd sight of a tall green man who had saved them. The man named Piccolo was staring down Adam, who growled in anger as he picked himself out of the hole Piccolo kicked him into.
"What are you and what are you doing here?!" Adam questioned.
"I'm just here to help the people of this planet, and I'm a Namekian, which is all I'm going to tell you," Piccolo answered as he disappeared only to reappear behind Adam punching him in the head.
Adam was sent flying over Yang and Blake and crashed into several trees out of the plains they were in. As they looked over to where Adam had landed, Piccolo slowly made his way over to the two girls.
"Are the two of you okay?" Piccolo asked, getting their attention. The two just stared at him for what seemed to be a couple of minutes unable to speak, for they were still trying to process what had just happened.
"Well, are you?" Piccolo questioned.
"Yes, just a few broken bones," Blake answered.
"Good, I'm going to finish this then rejoin my friends who went to aid the city just north of here," Piccolo replied.
"You mean Atlas?" Yang asked.
"If that is what the city is called, then yes, Cooler has sent a legion of androids to the city to attack it. Two of my friends are already there to help while another is in that underground facility saving the Saiyan kid," Piccolo answered, excluding Vegeta.
"You're here to help Jason, but how do you guys know about him?" Blake questioned.
"We were told by King Kai, who has been watching you all for a while," Piccolo answered.
"Wait, but how?!" Yang asked.
"As much as I would love to answer all your questions, that man from earlier is getting back up, so I'm going to finish him off quickly then rejoin my friends," Piccolo replied.
"Wait, you're not going to kill him, are you?" Blake questioned.
"Of course, I saw what was happening, and someone like him is never going to stop, so it's best just to put him down," Piccolo answered.
"But we can't do that! We can help him if…" Blake began.
"If you want to try to talk to him to stop him from killing you, then be my guest if you have a death wish. Just think for a minute, what can you say that you haven't already? Whoever this kid may have been to you, he's not that person anymore." Piccolo interrupted.
"People like him can't be talked to into stopping their actions, so the only option is to kill him," Piccolo added.
Blake looked down, unable to look Piccolo in the eyes as she knew he was right that there was nothing she could do to make Adam stop. Adam roared enraged at being so easily knocked aside by Piccolo and dashed towards the three. Piccolo reacted quickly, extending his arms wrapping around Adam, trapping him.
With Adam in his grasp, Piccolo threw him around, slamming him into the ground several times until he just threw him away across the plain. Piccolo then raised his right hand and hovered two fingers to the top of his head, charging up energy.
"I'm charging up and attack that can easily kill him try to stay out of the way," Piccolo said as he wrapped his left arm around Adam once again, keeping him in place.
"Mankankosappo!" Piccolo yelled as he shot his spiral beam straight into Adam's chest.
Once done, he retracted his arm, and Adam fell to the ground as Yang and Blake slowly made their way to him. Blake kneeled down and checked Adam's pulse and saw that he was still alive just barely.
"He'll be dead soon. Just leave him." Piccolo said as he turned to leave.
"I can't leave him like this I…" Blake began as she pulled out Gambol Shroud and hovered it over Adam. Her hand shook as she could not bring herself to bring it down upon him as Yang placed her hand over hers.
"It's okay if you can't do it. You don't have to." Yang consoled.
"Killing isn't for everyone, but one day you may be faced with an opponent who cannot be stopped unless you put them down, whether that day is today, or some other day is up to you." Piccolo voiced, not turning around.
Blake and Yang looked at him and thought on what he had said then looked back over to Adam, who was bleeding out in front of them. Blake put her Gambol Shroud away. She knew that she wasn't mentally prepared to kill him, but the next time she was faced with a situation like this, she would. She grabbed onto Adam's hand as his pupils returned to him and looked at Blake tears flowing from his eyes.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but I promise I will do my best to make to make the faunus be set on the right path." Blake consoled her former partner. Soon he finally passed as Blake closed his eyes for him and stood up.
"What should we do now?" Blake questioned as she and Yang turned to Piccolo.
"Like I said, I'm going to join my friends. You just stay here and rest up neither of you are in any condition to fight." Piccolo answered.
Suddenly the ground next to the exploded upwards as a lone figure flew up from the hole. As it landed, Piccolo got ready for a fight since he was unable to sense the figure's energy. He believed it to be another android.
"Yang, Blake, are you okay?" Elias asked.
"Elias, is that really you?" Yang questioned.
"Yes, it is. I know I do look a bit different." Elias answered.
"Is this a friend of yours?" Piccolo asked.
"Yes, this is Elias," Blake answered.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Namekian." Elias greeted.
"So you know of other species that's impressive," Piccolo replied.
"Well, seeing as I'm not technically native to this world myself, I have some knowledge of other species out there I am a Tuffle," Elias explained.
"So, what were you doing down there?" Piccolo questioned.
"My creator had made several factories capable of making androids, so I blew it up as well as the supercomputer containing his consciousness," Elias answered.
"The guy who helped Cooler made you then you killed him?" Piccolo questioned.
"That's right. I was made to kill my friend Jason, but I went against my creator's will, and instead well, like I said, we're friends now." Elias answered.
"I see, I understand I did something similar," Piccolo replied.
"I sensed that Jason was saved by some energy signatures I didn't recognize is it safe to assume that they're friends of yours?" Elias asked.
"That's right. If you're talking about the Saiyan kid, then yes, I'm about to rejoin some of my other friends who are helping stop the attack in the city," Piccolo answered.
"Well, by what I'm sensing is true, then Jason is in good hands. I'll join you to help everyone." Elias said.
"How are you two fairing?" Elias asked.
"We're fine. You go ahead. We'll be here," Yang answered. Elias nodded as he and Piccolo shot off into the sky and flew towards Atlas to help everyone there.
"How are you doing, Blake?" Yang questioned.
"I think you know how I am physically, but other than that, not great," Blake answered.
"Well, I know what it's like to lose someone close to you, though that guy was kinda insane, I'm here to help like you and the others were there for me." Yang consoled.
"Thanks." Blake smiled.
"What happened here?" Damian asked as he and Asher approached the two.
"Isn't that your crazy cousin?" Yang asked.
"Yeah, but we talked things out," Damian answered. Upon hearing that Blake deadpanned, but she was comforted by Yang.
"I think you said something that bothered her." Asher pointed out. A couple of minutes later, the rest of the rescue team returned and explained what they saw as they recuperated.
Few Minutes Earlier...
Everyone was stunned at the events that took place in front of their eyes. Two warriors, one around the majority of the group's age and the other a child, just easily dispatched every Metal Cooler and android in the vicinity. The older boy with spiky blonde hair tossed his sword in the air and let it sheath itself.
"Are you all…" Trunks began before Ruby interrupted him.
"That was so cool you cut Cooler in half like it was nothing!" Ruby exclaimed.
"What is your sword made out of? Can it transform? Oh, did you make it yourself?" Ruby asked, speeding around Trunks with stars in her eyes.
"I uh got it from a friend um do you mind backing up you're getting a little close." Trunks answered, embarrassed at how close Ruby was.
"Oh yeah, sorry." Ruby apologized, backing up.
"Can the two of you explain who you are and why you're here?" Ironwood questioned.
"We come from a planet known as Earth we were told by King Kai of your planet's current situation and came to help." Trunks answered.
"You guys came to help us?" Weiss asked.
"That's right when we heard about your situation we couldn't not help though we have our own problems," Gohan answered.
"How old are you?" Nora asked.
"I'm eleven," Gohan answered.
"Outclassed by an eleven-year-old," Ren muttered.
"But why would you come to help people of another planet whom you don't even know?" Pyrrha asked.
"Well, it's the right thing to do after all, and if my Dad was coming to help, then so was I," Gohan answered.
"It's not just the two of you?" Ren asked.
"No, it's not," Piccolo answered as he and Elias landed next to Trunks and Gohan.
"Piccolo!" Gohan exclaimed.
"Seems like you both have taken care of most of the androids already good job." Piccolo complimented.
"So, if you all come to help, that means there is a chance to make it through all of this!" Jaune cheered.
"All that's left is to destroy the remaining forces in Atlas while Goku and your friend kill Cooler." Piccolo clarified, leaving out Vegeta.
"What about my father?" Trunks questioned.
"Yeah, he's there too." Piccolo sighed.
"Elias, is that you?! Why do you look like that, and where are the others?" Ruby asked.
"Everyone's fine and resting while Jason is fighting with two other Saiyans named Goku and Vegeta. As for why I look like this, I'll tell you later." Elias answered since Piccolo had explained things to him on the way over.
"There are more Saiyan's here now?" Pyrrha asked.
"That's correct, including Jason. There are four and a half Saiyans here. Or just four or whatever." Elias answered.
"Wait, that math doesn't add up you mentioned two new Saiyans who the other one or one and a half?" Weiss questioned.
"That would be Gohan and me though we're only half Saiyan." Trunks answered.
"What's the other half?" Nora asked.
"Human." Gohan and Trunks answered at the same time.
"We probably should have guessed you were Saiyans since the two of you are Super Saiyan right now." Ruby laughed.
"Enough talking, we need to destroy the rest of the androids, and I personally have had enough of those for a lifetime," Piccolo interjected.
"You and me both." Trunks agreed.
"How do you plan to do that?" Ironwood questioned.
"The same way we've been doing it destroy them by blasting them to shreds or tearing them apart," Piccolo answered.
"So can Jason and those other Saiyans defeat Cooler?" Jaune asked.
"I would be surprised if they couldn't," Piccolo responded.
He jumped back as a Metal Cooler came from above, punching the ground, shattering it. In response, Piccolo fired an Explosive Demon Wave shooting the Metal Cooler away towards Trunks, who quickly cut the android in half.
Everyone quickly sprang back into action as more androids and Metal Coolers began to attack them. An android attacked Pyrrha, but it was blocked by Jaune's shield, then he countered by cutting it in half, then Pyrrha flipped over Jaune and sliced it in half once more.
Just as the android was dispatched, a Metal Cooler took its place, but it was kicked away by Gohan, who then blasted it with a Masenko. Before it could recover, it was smashed to pieces by Piccolo, who dropped from above.
"Leave the Coolers to us. You guys take on the androids." Gohan asserted as he and Piccolo engaged another Metal Cooler.
"Did we just get ordered around by a little kid?" Jaune asked.
"I'm just not going to question it," Ren replied.
Trunks and Elias were aiding Ruby and Weiss by fending off every Metal Cooler that came at them. They made quick work of everyone that came at them as Elias noted something off about the Metal Coolers.
"They're acting highly uncoordinated for some reason. This is much different. They're barely working together." Elias pointed out.
"Maybe there is something different now that they don't have." Trunks suggested.
"I think you're right I destroyed the main supercomputer at Cooler and Talon's base of operations it could be safe to say that it coordinated them." Elias theorized.
"Whatever the reason, they're much easier to defeat," Elias stated.
"These guys are amazing!" Ruby exclaimed.
"You're right, but let's show them that we are not to be underestimated." Weiss agreed as the two dispatched several androids with ease.
Around the Same Time...
Vegeta was slammed into a wall as Cooler dragged him around as his tail wrapped around his arm. Angered by being tossed around, Vegeta let out a loud yell sending out a shockwave causing Cooler to release Vegeta. As Cooler flew back towards Vegeta, he was intercepted by Goku, who kicked him away.
Appearing behind Cooler, Jason punched him straight in the face sending him towards the ground. He and Goku then charged at Cooler teaming up, landing several blows on Cooler. In response, Cooler blocked their next attack and slammed them into one another and threw them away. However, he was caught off guard when Vegeta fired a large beam onto his back, sending him through a wall.
"Don't ignore me!" Vegeta shouted as he threw a volley of Ki balls at the hole Cooler was shot through.
But it did little as Cooler shot out from the hole and slammed his fist into the prince's gut, causing Vegeta to cough blood. But Vegeta grabbed onto Cooler's arm and headbutted the tyrant before joining his hands and hammering Cooler down.
"NOW EAT THIS GALICK GUN!" Vegeta yelled as he fired a purple beam at Cooler.
"Impudent, Saiyan!" Cooler said as he countered with his own orange beam. The two engaged in a beam struggle as Vegeta pushed against Cooler's attack with everything he had.
"It's pointless Saiyan I've become stronger than anything or anyone else in the universe, especially my brother now perish!" Cooler declared as his beam pushed back Vegeta's Galick Gun.
Before his attack could reach Vegeta, however, he heard two attacks being charged behind him. Turning around, Cooler was met with the sight of Goku and Jason, both charging two separate attacks to shoot at him.
"KAMEHAME…HA!" Goku shouted, shooting out a blue beam.
"MEGA FLARE!" Jason yelled as he shot a large beam of the same color.
With the two new attacks, Cooler had to abruptly stop his own attack, holding off Vegeta's to fly up. But both of the beams began to bend and follow Cooler combining into one as they made impact, sending him into the ceiling.
"You can do that, too, huh!" Goku smiled.
"Well, I just found out about that in my first battle with Cooler, but yeah," Jason replied.
They were brought out of their conversation when Cooler came down from the ceiling, coming right at them. Cooler grabbed onto their heads and pushed them into the ground and dragged them across the inner sanctum. Vegeta soon freed them as he kicked Cooler in the head, pushing him away and dropping Goku and Jason.
"How about less talk and more fighting idiots." Vegeta scolded.
"Sorry, got a little excited." Goku apologized, rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah, won't happen again," Jason replied, keeping an eye on Cooler.
"Tsk idiots," Vegeta muttered.
Cooler soon yelled, powering up in a mixture of gold and purple energy as he created two large balls of Ki and threw them at the three Saiyans. Goku and Jason took the front and held off the two attacks as Vegeta flew up and shot out energy causing the two balls to fly back towards Cooler.
But the tyrant was prepared for this as he disappeared and reappeared next to Vegeta elbowing him in the face and into a wall. Jason shot up, flipping upside down to kick Cooler in the chin sending him through the ceiling and through several floors. Jason, Goku, and Vegeta, once he recovered, soon followed after Cooler entering a burning factory.
"I wonder what happened to this place?" Goku wondered as he looked around.
"My guess is that some of my friends destroyed any further production of androids and Cooler's metal counterparts." Jason theorized.
"Seeing all of this just makes me even more angry!" Cooler shouted as he floated through the flames.
"Talon, explain yourself!" Cooler demanded, getting only silence.
"TALON EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" Cooler repeated.
"What the hell is he doing?" Vegeta questioned.
"Talon uploaded himself to some computer somewhere here, and he was able to talk over speakers, but something seems wrong," Jason answered.
"Maybe the same friend of yours who did this did the same to Talon," Goku suggested.
"Yeah, I think you're right," Jason replied.
"NO IF THAT'S TRUE THEN I'M STUCK HERE IT WOULD TAKE ME CENTURIES TO REACH THE NEAREST PLANET WITH SENTIENT LIFE IF WERE TO FLY!" Cooler shouted.
"I guess you have no idea how to build a spaceship." Jason laughed.
"I WILL MAKE UP FOR IT BY KILLING YOU THREE!" Cooler declared.
"Come and try it, Cooler, for your not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior anymore!" Vegeta maintained.
"Didn't he already say that?" Jason questioned.
"For you see I, and these two morons…" Vegeta continued.
"Hey!" Jason yelled.
"…have realized the legend the one Frieza feared, and now so shall you!" Vegeta finished.
"Wow, he just repeated that again does he do that a lot?" Jason asked.
"Kinda," Goku answered.
"Well, I am not like my brother I do now fear any of you!" Cooler replied.
"Actually, you seem a lot like Frieza. I mean, he was defeated by me as a Super Saiyan, then he came back as a robot like you." Goku said.
"Called it!" Jason exclaimed.
Cooler screamed, powering up to full as the entire facility began to shake and fall apart around them. He was then covered by a ball of energy charging it up to explode.
"Oh shit, he's going to blow!" Jason pointed out.
"Kakarot, get us out of here!" Vegeta demanded as he put his hand on Goku, who grabbed Jason's shoulder and used Instant Transmission to escape.
Cooler's energy then exploded, and the upper part of the facility was no more but a crater filled with debris as Cooler stood alone. Soon the Saiyans reappeared above him and flew downward until they landed in front of the Tyrant.
"Man, I need to learn that technique that was awesome!" Jason exclaimed.
"Are you done with your tantrum?" Vegeta questioned.
"I will make you all suffer a fate far worse than death!" Cooler declared.
"Frieza said it." Vegeta replied.
"I WILL KILL YOU!" Cooler shouted as he charged at the three fighters.
The three split up as Cooler charged at them and then blasted him. But Cooler easily smacked the blasts away speeding towards Vegeta and grabbing onto him, throwing him towards the ground. Before he could follow up on this attack, Goku tackled Cooler and pushed him through several debris.
Cooler managed to plant his feet down and stopped all movement and prevented Goku from moving any further. He elbowed Goku in the back, sending him into the ground as Jason appeared behind Cooler kicking him away.
Jason shot a splitting flare at Cooler, who crossed his arms, taking the brunt of the attack as Jason sped towards him. He threw a punch at Cooler, who grabbed onto his arm and pulled it behind Jason's back.
"Time to die!" Cooler yelled.
Cooler went in for the kill but was stopped when Vegeta put Cooler into a chokehold causing him to drop Jason. He spun around and tossed Cooler across the crater quickly following after him. Vegeta flipped several times and slammed his feet into Cooler's stomach, cracking the ground beneath them.
Cooler grabbed onto one of Vegeta's legs and threw him away then tossed a large ball of Ki after Vegeta. Before the ball could make contact with the Saiyan Prince, however, Goku stopped it keeping it at bay then punched it into the sky.
"Don't worry, I've got your back Vegeta!" Goku exclaimed.
"Shut up, Kakarot!" Vegeta replied as he got up. Jason landed next to them as the three fighters once again stared down Cooler.
"The only way we can beat Cooler is if we continue to work together with nothing held back, so no fighting each other!" Jason demanded.
"Fine as much as it pains me to say I have to agree he's too strong for us to fight alone, so for the moment, try not to aggravate me any more than you already are." Vegeta agreed.
"Yeah, plus, when we worked together earlier, we got the better of him." Goku pointed out as Cooler began to charge a large ball of Ki.
"Let's do this!" Jason shouted as the three Saiyan warriors charged right at Cooler, who threw the large ball of Ki.
Jason and Goku flew up to deflect the ball while Vegeta continued forward, clashing with Cooler as the two held one another in place. Once Jason and Goku pushed the ball into space, they turned around and sped straight down towards Cooler and Vegeta.
As Cooler tossed Vegeta off of him, Jason and Goku tackled him into the ground and into the deeper parts of Talon's facility. After they stopped, Goku and Jason worked in tandem, hitting Cooler with several barrages of attacks. Cooler spun around and swiped at them with his tail as they jumped back.
When they flew backward, Cooler shot several beams at the two who dodged each attack. From above, Vegeta blasted Cooler with a large amount of energy, creating a large hole in the area. Dropping down, he pinned Cooler to the ground as Jason and Goku charged in kicking Cooler into a wall as Vegeta let go.
The three dashed towards him, hitting straight through the wall into another wrecked area of the facility. They assaulted Cooler with several attacks battering him without mercy until Cooler grabbed Jason by the head and slammed him into Vegeta. As the two of them were thrown away, Goku engaged Cooler on his own, throwing several punches at the tyrant.
However, Cooler countered with his own attacks throwing a punch at Goku, which passed right through the Saiyan warrior. Goku disappeared and then reappeared behind Cooler kicking him in the spine. As Cooler was pushed away, Goku charged up a Kamehameha and blasted Cooler with it.
Cooler was sent flying away from the sheer force of Goku's attack straight into Jason and Vegeta, who waited for him. The two, with all their strength, hit Cooler in the back, severely injuring him then kicked him to the ceiling above.
"How is this possible? I am the strongest in the universe!?" Cooler questioned.
"Your strength can never surpass the limitless potential of a Saiyan warrior, Cooler!" Vegeta declared.
"That statement would mean more if you all were fighting one on one!" Cooler argued.
"Even so, given more time, we could easily defeat you one on one, especially when we have truly ascended the power of a Super Saiyan." Vegeta asserted.
"I knew there was a way," Jason commented.
"This is the end Cooler, just give up," Goku demanded.
"Don't bother, trust me. He won't listen," Jason stated.
"Huh just like Frieza." Goku replied.
"I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" Cooler shouted as he powered up and charged at the three Saiyans.
"Seriously, what do you have against your brother?" Jason questioned.
The three jumped up to dodge Cooler's attack, which shattered the ground beneath them. They then blasted at him, who countered with his own attack, and the force of the impacts made the room they were in unstable as it fell upon them.
Quickly dodging the debris, the Saiyan warriors flew up and out of the room before shooting a hole back to the surface. Waiting over the crater, they were taken off guard as Cooler shot out of the ground and flew behind Goku, hammering him into the ground.
Jason and Vegeta flew towards Cooler with Vegeta landing the first blow slow but deal heavy damage as he hit Cooler with several attacks. Once he was done, Jason took his turn, kicking Cooler away, then assaulting him with quick yet strong attacks that Cooler could barely react to.
Having enough of being tossed around, Cooler released a shockwave that pushed Jason away. Cooler followed after him slamming his elbow into Jason's stomach, sending him into the ground, then spun around to smack Vegeta with his tail. He went to throw a ball of Ki at Vegeta but was stopped by Goku kicking him in the chin.
This interruption caused the ball to explode, and the two fell to the ground as the sun sank down over the horizon. As they hit the ground, Cooler immediately got up and soon after was attacked by Jason and Vegeta from both sides, barely able to hold the two off.
During this time, Goku got up and charged up a Kamehameha to near maximum. Noticing the attack, Jason and Vegeta kicked Cooler away and flew off to make room for Goku to attack. Soon Goku was ready using Instant Transmission to appear in front of Cooler and blasted him point-blank with the attack.
Cooler was sent flying from the attack severely injured from it. He stood a distance away from the Saiyans and shook in anger and in pain as he stared at them.
"I'm going to have to remember that for Cell though I should charge it some more next time," Goku said.
"How dare you injure me, you filthy ape!" Cooler yelled as Jason and Vegeta landed next to Goku.
"He's still standing after taking the brunt of your attack guess he's stronger than I thought." Vegeta pointed out.
"It's not that surprising, though," Jason replied.
"Shut it, Arrow!" Vegeta yelled.
"But now he's severely injured, so this is our chance to put him down!" Goku stated.
"He's right. Let's do this!" Jason agreed.
"Come and try it, Simian scum!" Cooler dared.
The Saiyan warriors powered up to their full power and flew towards Cooler, who sped towards them at the same time. Taking the front, Jason clashed with Cooler as Goku kicked him in the head, and Vegeta elbowed him in the spine.
The three assaulted Cooler, not letting him attack or get away. However, he managed to get free when he wrapped his tail around Goku's arm and swung into the other two throwing them away. Cooler then blasted a large beam at the trio who held the attack back, redirecting it towards the sky.
Jason flipped over to dodge a beam shot at him from Cooler, who ducked to avoid an attack from Goku. But as he ducked down, Vegeta planted his fist into Cooler's stomach then kneed him in the head.
As Cooler reeled from pain, Jason blasted him with a Mega Flare. Goku appeared behind Cooler kicking him back towards Vegeta and Jason, who both elbowed him in the head and into the ground.
"Kakarot, can you hit him with a Spirit Bomb?" Vegeta questioned.
"Sorry, I can't do that while in the Super Saiyan transformation," Goku answered.
"If we combine our attacks, we can obliterate him," Jason suggested.
"Obliterating him does sound good." Vegeta agreed.
"Guess we don't have a choice," Goku replied as Cooler began to fly back up.
Splitting up to avoid Cooler as he burst out through the hole exploding and breaking the surrounding area apart. Jason fired a Splitting Flare at Cooler, who smacked away every beam as he charged at Jason.
He was stopped when Vegeta body slammed him back towards the ground. Goku used his Instant Transmission to get behind Cooler and kick him back towards the sky past Vegeta and Jason. The three Saiyans then lined up and began to charge their own respective attacks.
"This is the end, Cooler! Feel the wrath of the Saiyan race!" Vegeta declared.
"FINAL…." Vegeta began.
"ARMAGEDDON…." Jason said.
"KA…" Goku started.
"…ME…"
"…HA…"
"…ME…."
"…HA!" Goku shouted as he shot the blue beam.
"….FLASH!" Vegeta finished shooting a large yellow beam.
"….BLAST!" Jason yelled, shooting an enormous yellow blast. The three attacks combined into one capable of destroying the planet below several times over as it approached Cooler.
"Let's call this triple-tapping Cooler now get the hell off my planet!" Jason declared as the blast made impact.
"No, not again, I cannot be bested again by you, Saiyans again!" Cooler yelled as his hands began to burn. Soon his new body began to disintegrate due to the overwhelming power of the blast.
"This hurts even more than last time! NOOOOOooooooo….." Cooler shouted as his body was destroyed, and this time nothing was left behind, killing him for good as the blast ceased.
"It's over." Jason smiled.
"Alright, that was awesome!" Goku exclaimed having had a lot of fun in the fight due to the challenge.
"The Saiyans have now been fully avenged for everything that Frieza and his family had done to us," Vegeta said as the three powered down though Goku and Jason were still in Super Saiyan.
"I'm exhausted. I hope everyone back in Atlas is okay because I need something to eat." Jason sighed as he sat down on a piece of debris.
"Food sounds great. I think our friends helped yours, so they should be okay." Goku replied.
"By the way, have you also acclimated Super Saiyan to your base form because it seems like it?" Goku asked.
"Is that what I did I just trained with it so much without turning it off that eventually, I couldn't turn it off," Jason explained as Vegeta growled in annoyance.
"Is something wrong with him?" Jason asked.
"He's just jealous that he couldn't figure it out first," Goku answered.
"Let's just go, Cooler's dead. We don't need to be here anymore!" Vegeta demanded.
"Alright, grab on. I'll use Instant Transmission to bring us to the others." Goku replied.
"Do you mind picking up some of my friends on the way I think they're right over there I think they're kinda far?" Jason asked.
"Sure, but how can you barely sense them? I can sense them fine?" Goku questioned.
"So can I," Vegeta said.
"Well, I thought there was a limit to how far you can sense energy," Jason answered.
"To be fair, I guess there is, but for Instant Transmission to work, I need to sense someone's energy, meaning I was able to sense energy from this planet from ours," Goku explained.
"Really mind showing me?" Jason asked.
"Sure." Goku smiled as they went to the rescue team.
Said team were shocked when the three Saiyans appeared out of nowhere in front of them. Some even drew their weapons until they noticed who it was. The second Neo spotted Jason with them, she ran over and pulled him into a hug.
"Hey, Neo, it's good to see you too, but do you mind letting go my body is still a bit sore?" Jason asked.
"No, after seeing you almost die today, I'm not letting you out of my sight for at least a week." Neo refused.
"Fine, if you insist," Jason replied.
"What was that?" Vegeta questioned.
"What was what, Vegeta?" Jason asked.
"You talked to her, but she didn't reply, yet you acted as if she did." Vegeta clarified.
"Oh, I can read her mind," Jason revealed.
"Alright come on guys we're heading back to Atlas," Jason said.
"Wait, what about Cooler?" Damian asked.
"He's dead," Vegeta answered.
"Are you sure because last time we thought he was dead, he wasn't?" Yang questioned.
"Yes, we're sure!" Vegeta responded, not happy of being questioned.
"Alright, everyone, grab hold!" Goku exclaimed as everyone linked up and held onto Goku, who used Instant Transmission to go to Atlas.
Atlas…
Trunks cut the final Metal Cooler in half as Elias stomped on its head, crushing it. Once the Z-Fighters and Elias came to help everyone in Atlas, the battle turned in their favor. They quickly destroyed every single android they could find and finally finished off the last of the Metal Coolers.
"Not bad, you're pretty good with that sword." Elias complimented.
"Thanks, you're very strong as well. I wish I had someone like you back home." Trunks returned the compliment.
"Why you have people like Piccolo and Gohan back on Earth, don't you?" Elias asked.
"It's a long story." Trunks answered.
"That's the last of them. The city should be safe now." Piccolo pointed out as he and Gohan joined the two.
"Do you think my Dad and Vegeta are done with helping the other Saiyan kill Cooler?" Gohan questioned.
"I'm sure they are," Piccolo responded as the four of them joined with the Atlas team, who were guarding the citizens. Once there, everyone from the Atlas team made one last run to check on the people before they joined the Z-Fighters and Elias.
"Have you guys finished off the last of the Coolers?" Weiss asked.
"Yep, the city is clear of enemies." Trunks answered.
"I don't sense Goku or Vegeta in combat anymore. I believe they're done on their end as well." Piccolo pointed out.
"Does that mean they won?" Ruby asked.
"We can't say for sure, but since I can't sense Cooler's energy, there is a good chance that they have," Piccolo answered. Suddenly an odd sound was heard as Goku and Vegeta appeared with Jason and the rescue team.
"Hey, guys, it's good to see you all safe!" Jason exclaimed, waving at everyone as Neo clung to him.
"You're okay!" Ruby replied.
"Yep, just a bit sore, and Neo won't let go." Jason deadpanned.
"I told you I'm not letting you out of my sight for at least a week." Neo asserted.
"It's good to see you all okay," Pyrrha said as the two groups joined together.
"I'm glad you're okay, Dad," Gohan exclaimed.
"Of course, what did you expect Gohan, and it seems like you guys have taken care of things here too," Goku replied patting Gohan on the head.
"Yep, this city is android free well save the ones that aren't our enemies." Trunks pointed out.
"That's great now let's get something to eat. I'm starved." Goku exclaimed.
Ironwood began to lead the citizens on what to do next as Atlas was being repaired. He also began preparing an explanation to give to the people. In the meantime, he had a small celebration of their victory as a reward for everyone who helped. In this celebration, there was food included much to the delight of the Saiyans present.
Ironwood also prepared food for everyone in Atlas and Mantle so that those who lost their homes don't go hungry as well. During this, everyone got to talking with the Z-Fighters thanking them for their help and getting to know them. Though eventually, one sight caused everyone to stare in disbelief.
"I have no words," Weiss said.
"This is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen in my life," Ren commented.
"It kinda explains a lot." Yang pointed out as they watched the spectacle.
Jason, Goku, and Vegeta were eating a mountain of food, one that could feed the entirety of the people there by themselves. Sometimes they would even argue or fight over a piece of food as they conversed with one another.
"So, what happened to your tails?" Jason asked.
"Mine was removed by Kami so that I didn't turn into a giant ape when I see a full moon," Goku answered.
"I lost mine during battle," Vegeta responded, not revealing the full details.
"I guess you are safe to keep yours here since your moon is all broken." Goku pointed out.
"Yeah, there's only one place I can turn were moonlight is highly concentrated," Jason explained.
"By the way, Arrow, there is something I've been meaning to ask you." Vegeta voiced.
"Yeah, what's up, Vegeta?" Jason inquired.
"How old are you?" Vegeta questioned.
"How old am I? I'm seventeen. Why?" Jason asked.
"I'm curious too, Father, why does it matter?" Trunks questioned.
"Because I wanted to figure out how he was a full-blooded Saiyan yet still so young since Planet Vegeta was destroyed almost thirty years ago," Vegeta answered.
"Wait, your planet was named after you?" Yang questioned.
"No, it was named after my father, the king," Vegeta responded.
"Wait, so you're the prince?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, Super Kami Dende, please don't engage him on that." Piccolo pleaded.
"That's correct I am the Prince of the Saiyans Vegeta!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"Great, like we don't already have to hear him goading over us already." Piccolo sighed.
"Wait, does that mean I have to address you as Prince Vegeta then, or should I just call you Vegeta?!" Jason asked, panicking about how to treat Vegeta.
"Just call him Vegeta. It's not like he's really a prince anymore right since we're all that's left." Goku answered.
"Shut up Kakarot!" Vegeta demanded.
"But earlier you said that the Saiyan homeworld was destroyed almost three decades ago, but Jason is supposed to be from there how is that possible?" Blake questioned.
"Yeah, I mean, I have some memories of my homeworld that came up back at Beacon, but if it was supposed to be over thirty years ago, then shouldn't I be around thirty years old?" Jason asked.
"Assuming that Arrow was sent here in a Saiyan pod, then he may have been put stasis during his trip here. This would cause him to not age for however many years he was flying through space, so while physically you may be seventeen, you are truly around thirty like Kakarot." Vegeta explained.
"Huh, that's weird thinking about it," Jason commented as his friends stared at him in shock.
"By the way, my memories from when I was a baby surfaced about a year ago is that also something that happens with us Saiyans?" Jason asked.
"No, we Saiyans have good memories," Vegeta answered.
"But have you ever hit your head really hard?" Vegeta questioned.
"I was hit in the head by an Ursa as a kid. It's what gave me this scar." Jason responded, pointing to the scar above his right eye.
"Then, that may have caused your memories of Planet Vegeta to burrow in your mind not to resurface until years later," Vegeta replied.
"It is rare, but there have been a few recorded events of Saiyans hitting their head really hard while they're young and losing their programing and memories," Vegeta explained.
"Wait I hit my head really hard when I was a kid why didn't that happen with me?" Goku asked.
"Probably because you hit your head too hard, idiot," Vegeta answered. Afterward, everyone went back to celebrating their victory over Cooler and Talon, seeing as no one had lost their lives during the battle, thanks to the Z-Fighters.
"So who's this King Kai you guys talked about who told you about us?" Blake asked.
"King Kai is the Kai of the northern galaxy which both this planet and Earth reside he is able to watch the people of each planet without having to actually physically be there," Piccolo answered.
"What's a Kai?" Jaune asked.
"The Kai's are the gods of the universe, starting with the Kai's same as King Kai the northern, southern, eastern, and western Kai. Above them is the Grand Kai, who oversees them, and then it is rumored that there is a Supreme Kai who oversees the entire universe." Piccolo explained.
"Wow, that's amazing," Pyrrha commented.
"So Trunks, where did you train on Earth?" Weiss asked.
"Well, I trained wherever I could with my master Gohan until he died." Trunks answered.
"Wait, Gohan, like Gohan over there?" Ruby asked.
"No, you dunce it was obviously someone else!" Weiss scolded.
"Actually, it was that Gohan though at the same time not exactly." Trunks pointed out.
"I don't understand," Nora said.
"For once, I can agree with you there," Ren replied.
"The thing is I come from seventeen years in the future in my time the Earth was ravaged, and humanity was near extinction due to a pair of androids." Trunks began.
"I wasn't strong enough to defeat them on my own, so my mother built a time machine so that I can go back in time and save Goku who died of a heart disease so the events of my time wouldn't happen." Trunks finished.
"You're a time traveler come to save the future that's so cool it's like a story of a hero!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Oh, thanks." Trunks thanked as he killed a black bug that tried to touch him.
"Wait, if you already saved Goku, why are you still in this time?" Weiss asked.
"You see, it seems time travel didn't work exactly how you'd think instead of fixing my time. I created a new timeline this one separate from my own where the androids are stronger, and a new threat has emerged. There are even subtle changes from my own time beyond that." Trunks explained.
"So I decided to stay and help, and hopefully, by the end, I'll be strong enough to save my own timeline." Trunks added.
"Wait, so if that's true of this being a new timeline, then what happened to us in your timeline?" Elias asked now that he was back to his normal state.
"I have no idea, to be honest. I never knew this place existed or that there was another Saiyan out there until now, so best guess is whatever was happening here before we came happened without interruption." Trunks answered.
Ruby put a hand on her chest, remembering what the Metal Cooler was about to do to her before Trunks had saved her, meaning that in his timeline, she most likely had died, so knowing this, she thanked him once more.
"So what's Earth like are there Grimm there too?" Nora asked.
"Grimm? What's a Grimm?" Trunks asked.
"They're big evil creatures that aim to kill every human and faunus," Ruby explained.
"You don't have Grimm or anything attacking you all?" Weiss questioned.
"Nope save the few times the world is threatened like the androids. There is nothing like that on Earth." Trunks answered.
"Wow, so what's life like there?" Pyrrha asked.
"Just normal as life is here save all the defenses and armed people also cities are much bigger at least that's how I've been seeing it now in my timeline well I don't want to ruin the happy mood here." Trunks responded.
During this time, Jason had finished eating and snuck away from the group to look down upon Atlas as it was slowly repaired. It seemed everything had come full circle, and people had suffered because of him.
"Hey, Jason, why you out here?" Goku asked as he joined him.
"Oh hi, Goku, I was just thinking is all," Jason answered as he turned to look at him.
"Is something wrong you look down?" Goku questioned.
"It's just that so many people could have died today, and if it wasn't, thanks to you and the others coming so many would have died all because of me," Jason answered.
"Because of you? How are you to blame here?" Goku asked, not understanding what Jason said.
"Cooler and Talon both wanted to get revenge on me, and that caused the destruction here because it was part of their plan," Jason explained.
"I still keep thinking to myself that it would have been better if I never landed here on this planet because no one would have to suffer because of my presence. Though I am grateful to be here with my friends and with Neo and it helps to have them, but even so." Jason added.
"I know what you mean, back on Earth, my friends and I are about to face off against an enemy of our own named Cell. He's killed countless thousands of people, and he will continue with the universe if we don't stop him." Goku began.
"But the sole reason that he was created was to kill me," Goku revealed.
"It may be hard, but the best thing to do is to continue moving forward and get stronger so that you can protect the people close to you as well as the innocent people," Goku explained as he turned and looked at Gohan who was talking with Yang and Blake.
"Or at least make sure that when you pass on, there will be someone left behind to continue to protect them for you." Goku finished as Jason looked at him with a smile.
"You know you're right, thank you, Goku." Jason thanked.
"I wish I could help you with your problem to kill Cell, but I am still needed here. I hope you understand, Goku." Jason said.
"It's no problem besides if anything goes wrong, we still have the Dragon Balls," Goku replied.
"Dragon Balls, what are those?" Jason asked.
"They're seven magical orbs that once gathered together will grant you any wish you want, whether that be to become super-rich or bring the dead back to life!" Goku answered.
"Such things actually exist?!" Jason questioned, thinking about Evan and Mura.
"If I had that, I could bring them back." Jason thought.
"Yep, we just got them back too with our new guardian Dende who's a Namekian like Piccolo," Goku answered.
"Just got them back huh, I shouldn't ask about it. They need it much more than I do." Jason thought as he and Goku rejoined the others.
"So, where's Asher?" Yang asked.
"I brought him to Penny's father, who is going to repair his right arm and remove the Ki infuser from his chest," Damian answered.
"I can't believe that there is a power similar to Ki here on Earth. We've never even heard of aura." Gohan commented.
"To be fair, Gohan most people on Earth don't even know Ki exists either." Piccolo pointed out.
"If you want, we can unlock your aura for you. It could make you a little stronger." Blake offered.
"Sure, I don't mind," Gohan replied, grabbing a black bug in his hand and crushing it.
"I'll pass," Piccolo said as he also crushed a black bug that came near him. Blake then walked up to Gohan and unlocked the boy's aura, which quickly combined and converted itself into Ki.
"How do you feel?" Yang asked.
"I think I'm a bit stronger, but otherwise, I don't feel a difference, but thank you anyway." Gohan thanked.
"What's this about other power?" Goku asked as he and Vegeta walked up to them.
"They were explaining about the native power of the planet Dad, it's fascinating it's similar to Ki but at the same time different though it works together with it," Gohan explained.
"Wow, that's cool!" Goku exclaimed.
"Would you like us to unlock your aura as well?" Blake asked.
"No, thanks. I'm good." Goku smiled.
"I don't want it either," Vegeta replied.
"Well, other than that, they also have some magical powers too, isn't that cool Dad," Gohan said.
"Really, magic, how does that work?" Goku questioned.
"It's the maiden powers. There are four in total, including Yang and myself. The power allows us to control any element of our choosing, and when we die, the power passes on to another young woman." Amber explained.
"Tsk relying on power given to you is pathetic," Vegeta commented.
"Come on, Vegeta, that's a bit harsh. I think it's pretty cool!" Goku replied.
"Yeah, and it's not like they have a choice. They need that power to fight to protect others." Gohan agreed.
"Whatever," Vegeta said as he turned to leave, squashing a black bug that tried to touch him.
"Sorry about him Vegeta can be like that sometimes I think that this maiden power sounds really cool even if it was given to you I would suggest to keep training with it to find new uses for it and make it your own!" Goku exclaimed, crushing another black bug that came near him.
As they talked, Jason joined up with Elias as the two talked about his new power that he had gained. During this time, Neo rejoined with Jason this time, locking arms with him so as to not let him get away from her again.
"So, what are you going to call this new form, Elias?" Jason asked.
"I don't know I don't like how Super Tuffle sounds, so I've been thinking over several other names for it at the moment I have my Pride Form since I am the clone of Talon's pride," Elias answered.
"Or maybe I will go with True Tuffle," Elias added.
"It's not too bad. I like it compared to Super Tuffle." Jason replied.
"By the way, I've been thinking about something," Elias said.
"Yeah, what is it?" Jason asked.
"Goku said that you made Super Saiyan your base form like we've theorized, right?" Elias questioned.
"Yep," Jason answered.
"Well, your Primal State is another power-up you can use have you ever tried combining the two?" Elias asked.
"Hey, that's a pretty good idea I need to become stronger anyway, and that just might be the thing to do it!" Jason exclaimed.
"Neo, do you mind letting go so I can try it really quick?" Jason asked.
"Fine, but right after, I'm going to hold onto you again." Neo asserted.
Jason stepped away then began to use his Primal State along with Super Saiyan. At first, it seemed to be going well with his power slowly rising, but then he felt a great pain in his head.
It was as if his mind was being split apart between man and beast, driving him towards a primal rage much stronger than he normally felt when he first used the state. Jason immediately stopped the transformation and fell to the ground gasping for air.
"Nope, that's not going to work," Jason said as Neo rushed to his side.
"You okay?" Elias asked.
"Yeah, just felt like my head was splitting if I was going to continue, I think I was going to go insane," Jason explained.
"I don't know if I could have ever come back if I fully committed to that." Jason thought.
Afterward, everyone celebrated for a little while longer enjoying themselves as Goku taught Jason how to sense energy on a large scale. But soon, it was time for the Z-Fighters to be on their way back to Earth as they gathered around Goku.
"Thanks for the food, it was great!" Goku thanked.
"Thank you, Goku, everyone I'll never forget what you've done for me and in the future if you ever need any help just give me a call." Jason thanked shaking Goku's hand.
"I hope to see you all again," Gohan said.
"We hope to see you too. You guys can come visit at any time!" Nora replied.
"Hey, Arrow," Vegeta called, getting Jason's attention.
"Never forget your Saiyan Pride," Vegeta told simply without any other word.
"I won't ever forget it. Thank you, Vegeta." Jason thanked, causing Vegeta to smirk a little. The Z-Fighters then returned to Earth, leaving everyone to plan on what to do now.
"What now do you think we're still going to fight Salem after this?" Ruby questioned as the majority stayed silent.
"No, we won't," Ironwood answered as he joined them.
"General, are you finished dealing with the aftermath?" Weiss questioned.
"Yes, everyone is safe and sound, but due to the damage, this attack caused, we need to focus our resources on rebuilding Atlas instead of developing our method of finding Salem," Ironwood answered.
"It's fine. The people need to come first." Pyrrha replied.
"We don't need to find a way to find Salem I know exactly where she is," Jason informed, causing everyone to look at him in shock.
"But how?" Ironwood asked.
"Goku taught me how to sense energy on a larger scale. I can now sense everyone on Remnant, including her." Jason answered.
"How do you know it's her?" Yang asked.
"Because her energy is dark and twisted, and she's surrounded by her minions whose energy I recognize," Jason explained.
"Can you put it on a map?" Ironwood asked.
"Yes, I can, but if we do this, one thing needs to happen," Jason answered.
"What would that be?" Ironwood questioned.
"They'll most likely be expecting us, so we'll need an army just in case, and after today people are going to look for answers, so the truth has to be revealed to the public, the entire truth about Salem and about Cooler and the Tuffles," Jason explained.
"I understand I planned on doing that anyway consider it done," Ironwood replied.
"This entire process will take a while, so get ready for war." Ironwood declared.
Salem's Domain…
"It seems we weren't able to get the blood of those fighters." Watts pointed out as he and Hazel stood with Salem in the throne room.
"No, we were not, but that's fine Coda will be strong enough without it, and now with Cooler dead, I will finally finish Coda's creation as I told you before, do not disturb me until I am done," Salem replied.
"As you wish, how long will the process take?" Hazel asked.
"There is no way to know Coda is the first of his kind, so wait patiently for me to be done, and once I am, I will create an army to engage whatever Ozpin may throw my way," Salem answered as she entered her underground chamber.
Our heroes are triumphant over Cooler, thanks to the help of the Z-Fighters. However, now Salem is free to finish her creation Coda how strong will it become find out soon! First, Trunks explained to our heroes the nature of time travel explaining that he had no idea they existed in his timeline what happened there Next Time!
Author's Note:
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter I had a whole lot of fun writing it, and if you're wondering, this will not be the last time we see the Z-Fighters (All of them at least), but I won't say when you'll see them again. Next Chapter will be the technical end of the Cooler arc, and after it will begin a shorter arc called the Coda arc.
Also, you read right next chapter will be a special one, not only being the thirtieth chapter of this story! But it will explain what happened to everyone in Trunks's timeline during these events. Since it happens in his timeline, be prepared for a story that says, "And then he died too." Literally, I can't express it here how bad things are there (Since shit's always worse in Future Trunks' Timeline).
Now on a few things, Jason will not use his Primal State with Super Saiyan. This is because, like a reviewer said, it would be a 500 times multiplier making it way too overpowered for this part of the story, but don't worry, the idea will come back in a different form eventually.
Also, to point out another review that I kept seeing about the maiden powers and the Saiyans reaction to them, I put in this chapter what their opinions would be. Which is they wouldn't really care. Goku (and Jason too) would think that the power is cool but not want it, and Vegeta has no respect for it.
They have no reason to want to tell anyone to get rid of it, especially since they know the people who have it need it to protect others and themselves. The people of Remnant would all the help they can get against people like Cooler.
I mean, the Maiden powers are something that everyone needs not only to protect people but to get the relics too. Either way, there is no reason for me to have any Saiyan character tell any maiden to get rid of their power.
On how strong Cooler was in this part of the story, I know that he was technically fighting two SSJ grade 4's and one SSj grade 2, making it seem like he may be as strong or stronger than Cell, but at this point, he is weaker than him by a little. This is because, during Perfect Cell and Goku's fight, he was holding back, and I'd say Cooler is just under Perfect Cell (and way weaker than Perfect Cell after he comes back from blowing up).
Finally, here is a little Omake about Mura's backstory it will be a little short but have all you need to know, so see you all next time!
Remnant's Saiyan Mura's Story
Mura is the master of our hero Jason but who is he and who taught him this is the answer!
Mura looked over at the rising sun enjoying the morning air as he oversaw the training of his two new pupils. Jason and Evan were sitting side by side, meditating, trying their best to bring out Ki. Though they just started, Mura could tell that they held immense potential, reminding him of his own training one hundred and twelve years ago.
One Hundred Twelve Years Ago…
When Mura was twelve years old, the world was very different from what it was in the present time. The Huntsman academies had yet to be built, and huntsman and huntresses were few in number. Mura himself was an orphan who learned to survive off the land without aura of any kind.
He learned to live off the land in piece never using violence unless he had too, but he always sought something more a purpose in life. Eventually, he heard of a master of martial arts who offers training to those he finds worthy. Though Mura never cared for violence, the challenge intrigued him, seeing that this master barely trained anyone.
Following every lead, he could find Mura eventually found a mountain whose peak reached above the clouds. It took him a couple of days before he reached the top, and once he did, he seemed to be alone in the ancient-looking complex.
"Hello, is anyone here?" Mura questioned, being answered by silence.
Mura walked around, exploring the complex as it seemed almost abandoned with cobwebs everywhere. After he explored the entirety of the abandoned complex, he was left in the courtyard, where he saw a lone old man with a staff who sat on the ground.
"Um, hello, sir, are you the martial arts master?" Mura asked.
The man did not give Mura a response, so he circled the man looking to see how to get his attention. It seemed as if the man was asleep, so Mura tried several different ways to wake him up like shouting, clapping his hands, and poking him, but nothing worked.
Mura then looked at the man's staff and grabbed onto it, and once he did, the old man's eyes sprung open. He quickly took his staff closer and jumped high up into the air and landed across from Mura, staring at him. Then looking around him, he sighed in relief.
"Oh good for a second there, I thought I was dreaming again." The man sighed as he walked over Mura.
"Who are you, young man?" The man asked.
"My name is Mura," Mura answered.
"Hello, Mura I am Adrian it is a pleasure to meet you." Adrian introduced himself.
"Now one question, what day is it?" Adrian asked.
"It's Thursday," Mura answered.
"THURSDAY WHAT THE….KAI!" Adrian yelled, and a man seemingly teleported out of nowhere next to the man.
"Oh, you're up. It's been a while." Kai greeted as he appeared.
"I told you to wake me up after an hour, and you let me sleep for four days what the hell!" Adrian scolded.
"I got high sue me, but it was four years, not days," Kai informed.
"FOUR YEARS ARE YOU KIDDING?!" Adrian yelled.
"How is that possible to sleep that long?!" Mura questioned.
"Uh, I should have known you'd do something like that, oh well please clean up while I tend to the guest," Adrian ordered. As Kai did as he was told, Adrian turned to Mura and kneeled down to his level.
"So what brings you here, boy?" Adrian asked.
"I heard that there was a martial arts master on the top of this mountain I wanted to train under him to give me a purpose," Mura answered.
"Well, you looked in the right place. I am said martial arts master though I do teach in other forms of combat, but that all depends if I deem you worthy." Adrian replied.
"So how will this work, sir?" Mura asked.
"Just stand still," Adrian answered as he places his hand on Mura's head. Suddenly Mura felt an odd presence as if Adrian had entered his mind.
"You are a kindhearted young man. I would be happy to train you." Adrian said.
"Wait, what did you just do?" Mura questioned.
"I read your mind to see your character just as I did with everyone who has come here, but you are the first to past my test in the last fifty years," Adrian answered.
"But know this the training I offer is very unorthodox and teaches of a power much greater than aura or semblance, so if you wish to forgo this training now is the time," Adrian advised.
"I'd like to stay," Mura replied.
"Good, I see a bright future ahead of you a long, fulfilling life," Adrian said as he took Mura on a tour.
Five Years Later…
Mura had taken to the training well, showing great potential in Ki and foresight. Soon he was strong enough to beat Adrian in combat as the student became the master.
"Great job, Mura, you've mastered Ki as much as I have. Continue meditating and practicing this way I believe you will find the secret to living longer as I have." Adrian congratulated.
"Thank you, master, I'm glad to make you proud." Mura thanked.
"But I wish to ask you something?" Mura asked.
"What is it, Mura?" Adrian questioned.
"What should I do now that my training is done?" Mura asked.
"You can do whatever you want, Mura, your future is for you to decide. That's something I noticed that you have trouble finding a purpose in life, but know that you must find your purpose yourself." Adrian answered.
"But if you want to see, just look into the future like I taught you but know that doing so sets what you see in stone," Adrian added.
"I see," Mura replied, closing his eyes.
When he looked into the future, he saw a meteor fall from the sky then two boys training together with Ki then a Giant ape. When the vision ended, he saw himself as an old man looking over those children with a smile on his face.
At first, he was startled at the vision, but as he processed the vision, he began to enjoy what his future held. It seemed that he would one day be a master to these boys just as Adrian was a master to him.
"I am happy with what my future holds for me." Mura smiled as he opened his eyes.
"I see what will you do?" Adrian asked.
"I will stay here with you master and find new heights then train the next generation after you," Mura answered.
"A great answer, my student, I welcome the day you become master!" Adrian exclaimed as he patted Mura's head.
Seven Years Later…
Mura held onto his master's staff as he looked upon the grave that Kai had built for him. The day had come where Mura would take his place here as the new master on top of this mountain.
"So you're master now, Mura what are you going to do?" Kai questioned.
"Same thing, Master Adrian, did I know of two students that will come to me in the future, but Kai, I would like you to handle the initial strength training of the students before they come to me if you don't mind," Mura answered.
"Fine, but I won't go easy on them," Kai informed.
"I expect nothing less," Mura replied.
"By the way, how are you not aging?" Mura asked.
"That's my secret bitch." Kai replied as he went to tidy up the complex.
And so years passed on as Mura grew older, and many candidates came to the mountain top, but none were worthy of learning Ki. Some had the potential such as Scarlet Shin, but she declined the offer, and now the day that his vision had shown him has come to pass as he watched Jason and Evan train.
"I have found my purpose, master," Mura whispered as he patted the top of Adrian's grave.
"Hey, master, can you show us how to do this again?" Evan asked, getting Mura's attention.
"Of course, I'll be right there," Mura answered as he walked over to his two students to give them another lesson.
