Remnant's Saiyan
Chapter 30:
Future Timeline Special
Last Time our heroes defeated Cooler with the help of the Z-Fighters! However, Trunks explained how time travel worked as he created a new timeline! What changes did he make from his timeline find out now!
Months Earlier…
"Lord Cooler, it seems our troops have found a Saiyan on a planet on our conquer list," Salza reported.
"A Saiyan, you say I thought they died with the Super Saiyan on Earth." Cooler replied.
"It seems this one has had no contact with them and stands alone on this planet," Salza informed.
"I see set a course for this planet. I wish to finish what my brother started and kill this Saiyan to undo the embarrassment my brother and father brought to the family." Cooler ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Salza replied.
These are one of many differences in Trunks's timeline as Cooler believes that Jason is the final Saiyan, and in turn, so does Talon.
"What are you two planning?" Jason questioned.
"We shall kill you, Saiyan, by draining your energy completely to revive me." Cooler began.
"Then, we shall conquer this planet and create a ship capable of getting off this planet, and I shall return to conquer the universe!" Cooler declared.
"I personally don't care about conquering the universe, but if it means killing you, Saiyan, I will do it!" Talon said.
But that is not all as a certain lesson that Neo gave Jason resulted in a very different outcome as the seeds of new life was made. Now, what happened without the aid of the Z-Fighters!
Jason screamed in pain as the last remnants of his energy was being drained from his body. Neo watched helplessly as the man she loved was completely drained as his body went limp and lifeless in front of her.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET SAIYAN I WIN, AND NOW THE UNIVERSE WILL BE MINE!" Cooler shouted in victory as the wires attached to Jason released, causing his body to fall to the ground.
Neo rushed to him, unable to stop the tears coming from her eyes as she picked him up. He laid unmoving and lifeless in her arms. She tried to deny the reality in front of her, but she was unable to.
"Don't leave me please," Neo begged as if she was still talking to Jason.
"Neo, we have to go, come on!" Amber pleaded to the unresponsive girl.
"Now what to do with you, vermin?" Cooler wondered as he floated down to their level as Alex prepared an arrow to attack him.
"Hm, what's this?" Cooler questioned as he used his new mechanical parts to scan Neo. As he scanned her, he noticed due to the superior technology Talon had provided that she was pregnant and what aggravated him the most, it was half Saiyan.
"YOU! YOU MATED WITH THE SAIYAN AND ARE WITH HIS CHILD I WILL NOT ALLOW ANOTHER SAIYAN TO BE BORN INTO THIS UNIVERSE!" Cooler declared as he went to attack them.
"You guys go now I'll hold him off!" Alex ordered as Amber yanked Neo away from Jason.
As they ran, Neo looked upon her stomach, wondering if what Cooler said was true. Alex shot several arrows at Cooler to keep him away from them to the best of his ability. Though it proved fruitless as Cooler punched him away and pinned him on the ground.
"You're sacrifice means nothing." Cooler goaded as he crushed Alex's chest, killing him instantly.
Meanwhile…
Adam began to choke the life out of Blake, and with no aura, she was unable to escape as her vision darkened, and she finally passed. He dropped her lifeless body to the ground as Yang rushed over to her partner.
"Blake! BLAKE!" Yang pleaded as she shook her partner's lifeless body.
"How could you? She only did what was right, and you killed her because out of spite!" Yang cursed.
"Don't talk like you understand human because you're next!" Adam declared.
Before he could grab Yang, his arm was cut off by Damian, who came from the facility, keeping Asher next to a tree. He grabbed onto Yang, and the two jumped away from Adam, who slammed his left fist into the ground.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Adam shouted.
"Are you okay, Yang?" Damian asked.
"No, he killed Blake even though at one time they were friends how could he do such a thing?!" Yang questioned.
"Some people are just that evil or lost Yang. The best thing we can do is beat him for her!" Damian answered.
"I was already planning on that!" Yang yelled as she created a massive fireball and threw it at Adam.
Adam took the attack without hesitation and charged at the two who split apart from one another. Damian sent several energy slashes at Adam, but all were swatted away as Yang came up from behind and landed a strong blow to Adam's head.
Angered, he grabbed onto Yang's leg and threw her onto the ground. He raised his leg in the air to crush Yang's head. He was stopped as Damian used a Serpent Cutter to stab Adam in the shoulder pushing him away from Yang.
Damian was thrown away as Adam pulled out the sword in his shoulder and crushed it. Yang and Damian got up and stared down an enraged Adam who screamed wildly.
"What's going on with him?" Yang questioned.
"Asher said that the Ki infuser can cause a great toll on one's sanity," Damian answered.
"Like this guy wasn't crazy enough!" Yang commented as they jumped back to dodge a punch from Adam.
Asher watched this and saw what would have happened if he would have used the Ki infuser. He was glad he didn't use it but saw that Damian and his friend was going to die if nothing was done.
"There's nothing I can do to make up for all the things I've done wrong in my life, especially recently, but this will help ease my conscience." Asher thought as he pressed the button, activating the Ki infuser.
Adam slowly walked over towards the two, who were both low on power. However, his advance was stopped when he was grabbed from behind. Asher put Adam in half of a full nelson since he had only one arm.
"Get back I can't hold onto him for much longer!" Asher ordered as he held Adam back.
"You used the Ki infuser, but what about your semblance?" Damian questioned.
"I won't need it for much longer," Asher answered as he welled up as much energy as he could.
"What is he doing?" Yang asked.
"I don't know, but we have to go!" Damian replied, grabbing onto Yang and running away, picking up Asher's sword on the way.
Soon the energy Asher released went critical as he and Adam exploded in a violent fury. The explosion killed the two instantly, leaving a small crater behind. Damian and Yang were left alone to gasp at the sight.
"He blew Adam and himself up!" Yang gasped.
"I don't believe it!" Damian commented as the ground beneath them broke, and Elias flew out, looking very different.
"Elias, is that you?" Damian asked.
"Yes, what happened here? I just finished destroying Talon and the factories below?!" Elias questioned. Yang and Damian explained everything that had happened since their departure.
"Dammit, how could I not be there!" Elias yelled as he smashed the ground.
"What about the others?" Elias asked.
"Haven't seen them yet, and I haven't gotten the chance to sense where they are either," Damian answered.
"You two stay here I'll go look for them," Elias ordered as he flew off to go back into the facility.
Before he could even get close to the entrance, the ground exploded, sending Elias backward as Amber and Neo flew out and landed near him. Elias went to their side to check on them as Cooler slowly flew to the surface.
"Well, if it isn't the Tuffle reject come to die with your friends?" Cooler questioned.
"No, I'm here to help them!" Elias responded.
"And you're doing a great job now that the Saiyan and that archer is dead." Cooler replied.
"What!" Elias said, looking back on Neo and Amber for confirmation. Amber nodded as she comforted a crying Neo.
"Alex is dead?" Damian questioned, tearing up.
"Now if you wish to die a quick death step aside so that I may kill the girl who bears the Saiyan's child!" Cooler demanded.
"Neo's pregnant!" Elias replied, shocked at the information.
"I won't let you hurt her or anyone else!" Elias declared as he powered up to full.
"You guys go. This fight is mine!" Elias ordered.
"But you can't fight him alone!" Yang said.
"True, but none of you are in any condition to fight with me, so go!" Elias pointed out.
Yang and Damian quickly went to Amber and Neo and helped them up running as fast as they could away from Elias and Cooler. Cooler attempted to follow them, but he was stopped by Elias as he kicked him in the chin.
"I said you're not going to hurt anyone!" Elias asserted.
"Seems as if you had a very large power increase, but that will not help you for once I've killed you and the girl Talon, and I will make the people create a ship for me to leave this planet!" Cooler replied.
"Sorry to tell you, but Talon's dead Cooler so that won't be happening!" Elias declared.
"WHAT! That cannot be!" Cooler replied.
"It's true because I killed him!" Elias stated.
"NO HOW DARE YOU! I will make you suffer a most painful death for stranding me here on this planet!" Cooler shouted as he attacked Elias.
The two clashed several times around the area, but after a few minutes, Elias could easily tell he alone was not strong enough to defeat Cooler. Even with his new power-up, he had barely enough strength to go against Cooler's newfound power.
"Do you now see the difference between our power scum because I will now use every last bit of this new power to make you suffer!" Cooler declared.
Cooler grabbed onto Elias's head and kneed him in it then threw him away. He then powered up a massive ball of Ki, which he proceeded to throw at the Tuffle. Elias stopped the attack but was pushed back a great distance.
The Tuffle managed to completely negate the attack, but as it disappeared, Cooler came right at him, punching him in the face. Elias was sent flying away as Cooler easily caught up with him elbowing him in the stomach and into the ground shattering it.
Cooler flew down and stood on top of Elias, staring him in the eye. He wrapped his tail around Elias's neck and raised him to his level giving him a quick punch in his gut.
"Do you submit Tuffle?" Cooler asked.
"Never," Elias answered, spitting in Cooler's face.
"So be it." Cooler replied, slamming Elias into the ground several times before throwing him away.
Cooler battered Elias with several attacks, not letting up at all. He wouldn't stop for a second until he heard a bone break, and even then, he just moved on to another area and break a few there. Elias fell to the ground batter and bruised as Cooler dropped onto his back-breaking his spine, then grabbing onto his left arm, dislocating it.
"Had enough Tuffle well, I'd say you haven't suffered yet!" Cooler hissed as he once again picked Elias up with his tail again, proceeding to shoot him several times with small beams.
Once he was done, Elias was left near death as he dropped him to the ground and flew up. Cooler raised his left arm and created a large ball of Ki and tossed it at the crippled Tuffle who could do nothing to stop it he was outclassed and defeated as the ball descended and killed him.
"Thanks to that distraction, I lost my target, but it is only a matter of time with my remaining metal counterparts. I shall exterminate everyone on this planet until I find them." Cooler said as he flew over towards Atlas. The surviving members of the rescue team watched from a distance as Cooler flew towards Atlas, knowing he was going to attack their friends there.
"We have to warn Atlas that he's coming!" Yang yelled as she pulled out her scroll only to see the emergency transmission.
"Atlas is already under siege!" Yang gasped.
"No, it can't be!" Damian commented, looking at his scroll to confirm this.
Wasting no time, Yang called Ruby, but her sister failed to pick up. She tried one more, but once again, she got no answer.
"Please be safe," Yang begged.
"What should we do?" Amber questioned.
"Cooler right now is after Neo, so you get her to safety find somewhere remote and wait there me and Yang will see if we can help everyone in Atlas." Damian asserted.
"Okay, we'll get a boat and head to Anima then to Jason's house his old village may be small enough to go under Cooler's radar," Amber replied.
"Okay, we'll see you there when this is all over," Damian said as he and Yang went to find transportation to Atlas. Unknown to them. However, they were far too late.
Atlas…
Weiss looked in horror as Ruby's body hit the ground after the Metal Cooler blasted a hole right through her body. Nora had also been killed as a Metal Cooler crushed her neck, sending Ren into a rage as he retaliated against it only to get a beam straight through the heart.
Getting back to her feet, Weiss readied herself to avenge her friend, but she soon quickly realized that it was an impossibility. The Metal Cooler that killed Ruby moved behind her too fast for her to register, and when she did notice, it was too late as a large wound appeared on her chest. Due to the wound, Weiss fell to the ground next to Ruby and bled out.
Seeing their friends being killed one by one, Pyrrha, Jaune, and eventually, Penny, who was ordered to by Ironwood, retreated as the general attempted to hold off the Metal Coolers. Needless to say, he died too as a Metal Cooler drove its hand straight into the general's chest.
The three survivors ran through Atlas and encountered many citizens and went to do their duty, attempting to guide them away from the oncoming threat. But that proved to be a death sentence for as soon as they did Cooler himself descended upon them slaughtering everyone Pyrrha, Jaune and Penny included.
Hours Later…
Yang knelt down next to the body of her little sister in disbelief, not wanting it to be real. She picked her body up and cried uncontrollably over the pain of losing her little sister. Damian looked around, saddened, seeing that all of their friends had died long before they ever got there.
"Why did this have to happen? Why did they have to die?" Yang questioned as she held Ruby's body close to her.
"I don't know, but we should at least bury our friends to honor them and leave it seems Cooler wiped out all life here in Atlas," Damian answered.
They got to work finding a good plot for them all and burying them next to one another. Yang took what was left of Ruby's hood giving it a quick repair job before putting it on.
"We should say something," Yang said.
"Yeah, we should." Damian agreed.
"We're sorry we couldn't help you all, but we swear to live on and one day defeat Cooler for you all so that your deaths and the deaths of everyone in Atlas will not be in vain," Damian stated.
"I'll never forget all our time together, everyone. I hope you all have a good afterlife and know that I'll miss you all, even you, Jaune. But I'll miss you most of all, little sis." Yang said, wiping tears from her eyes.
"Let's go Amber and Neo are waiting on us we need to figure out what our next move will be," Damian suggested.
"Right behind you," Yang replied as they left the graves of their friends.
Days Later in Saiyatown…
Yang and Damian couldn't believe their eyes. The entire village had been destroyed and ransacked. Every villager laid dead on the ground and by the indications given it was Cooler's doing.
They quickly ran to Jason's home, which laid relatively undamaged, save a large hole in the roof. Damian opened the door, and he and Yang entered the house expecting the worst, but to their relief Amber at least was safe.
"Amber, you're okay!" Yang exclaimed, happy to see her fellow maiden.
"You two are okay as well. That's good, but what of the others?" Amber asked.
"They didn't make it," Damian answered as Yang looked down.
"I see, so it's just us then," Amber replied.
"What happened here, did Cooler attack?" Yang asked.
"He did he came looking for Neo I guess he and Talon knew that Jason's home was here luckily for us we found a hidden basement to hide in while he was here," Amber explained.
"Does that mean Neo is here as well?" Damian asked.
"She is right now she's sleeping in the master bedroom ever since Jason's death. She's been grieving a lot." Amber answered.
"We've all been," Yang replied, sitting down on the couch.
"What should we do now?" Amber questioned.
"Survive," Damian answered, taking a seat at the table.
Nine months later…
Damian and Yang snuck through the forests of Anima, heading to a nearby town for a supply run. They had decided to stay in Saiyatown for the time being to hide from Cooler, for it would take a long time before he would look there again. Cooler had been going on a rampage, killing mass amounts of people all over Remnant.
They knew, at the very least, that everyone in the main kingdoms were killed with very few survivors left on Remnant. During this time, Yang went to check on her father, but just like with Ruby, she was too late as he was already dead, taking Zwei back with her.
They also took the time to find the rest of their friend's bodies back on Vytal Island and giving them a proper burial, even taking Jason back to his hometown to bury him next to his house. Neo had requested this for as Cooler had found out, she was pregnant with Jason's child and wanted a grave for the two of them to visit.
"When do you think the baby will come?" Yang asked as she and Damian rummaged through an abandoned village.
"Any day now, if I had to guess since I'm not a doctor, I can't say for sure," Damian answered as he grabbed some food and put it into his bag.
"It's a good thing we found all those baby supplies." Yang pointed out.
"Yeah, you seem almost excited for it," Damian commented.
"Well, it's nice to see some kind of happiness in this dark time, especially being new life," Yang replied.
"It's still funny how that one time managed to knock her up." Yang laughed as she grabbed some more supplies.
"It's good to see you joking again after all this time," Damian said as they finished, and they left the village. But as soon as they left, a very familiar sound was heard from in front of them.
"Sup maggots, how's it going?" Kai asked as he teleported in front of the two.
"Wha…Kai, is that you?" Damian questioned.
"No shit, maggot," Kai answered.
"You've been alive this whole time!" Yang shouted.
"Yeah, so what?" Kai responded.
"Where were you this whole time?" Damian asked.
"Hiding that Cooler guy is annoying keeps hitting up my mountain peak had to abandon it and my stash." Kai began.
"Eventually, I had to take some wild mushrooms to get high that gave me a really bad trip of which I only recently got out of." Kai finished.
"Why didn't you try to help anyone in Atlas months ago?!" Yang questioned, angry.
"What could I have done that could have changed anything if I went to Atlas I would have died." Kai asserted. Yang sighed and let it go as they went back to Jason's house with Kai following them.
"Why are you following us?" Yang asked.
"I've got nothing better to do, plus I still have plenty of supplies I think you guys need," Kai answered.
"That helps, and in these times we need all the help we can get." Damian pointed out.
"Whatever I'm just glad all we have to do is deal with Cooler at the moment since Salem seems quiet, and Ozpin disappeared or died," Yang replied.
"Cooler killed Salem," Kai revealed.
"Wait, what? How and when?" Damian asked.
"I overheard him talking to himself like a madman from my hiding spot on my mountain. He was talking about punting her into space or something like that. Also, he destroyed some disgusting spore in her basement or whatever." Kai explained.
"That explains a lot," Damian said as Yang's scroll went off.
Yang took out her scroll for thankfully during Cooler's purge. He did not take down any of the CCT towers, most likely not seeing a need to. She gasped as she read the message she had received.
"What's wrong, Yang?" Damian questioned.
"Neo just went into labor," Yang answered.
"She did?!" Damian asked.
"Yep, we need to go now!" Yang asserted.
"I can take you there now," Kai said.
"Alright, do it!" Damian replied as the two grabbed onto Kai, who teleported them right into Jason's old home.
"Okay, let's do this!" Damian said.
"You are going to stay here with Kai while Amber and I help Neo." Yang asserted as she went into the master bedroom.
"Okay," Damian replied, sitting down on the couch with Kai.
After several hours of awkward silence since Neo didn't let out any groans of pain in the house, a small cry was heard in the master bedroom. Yang and Amber walked out, smiling as the cries became louder, indicating that the baby was born.
"It's a girl, and if you couldn't tell, she's not a mute," Yang exclaimed.
"She even has a tail," Amber added as they closed the door.
"Giving her some privacy?" Damian asked.
"Yeah, she asked for some time alone with her new baby," Yang answered.
"We should find a way to keep her quiet though when a patrol comes by," Amber suggested.
"She's right. We don't want Cooler to find her." Damian agreed.
With Neo, she was holding onto her new child, cradling her baby in her arms as it began to laugh and open its eyes. She had Neo's eyes and Jason's hair as well as his tail as she raised a hand grabbing onto Neo's finger with a smile.
"I will protect you." Neo thought as she began to think of names for her daughter.
She then looked at one of the many pictures of Jason with his mother Scarlet giving an idea and a smile. On that day, Scarlet Shin the Second was born daughter of the late Jason Shin and Neopolitan.
Seven Years Later…
Scarlet ran around the forest, hopping from tree to tree as she ran from Yang. She kept high and never stopped running to keep ahead of Yang, but it seemed as though Yang was catching up. Soon she was caught by Yang, who used her weapons to push herself in front of Scarlet.
"Got you!" Yang exclaimed as she grabbed onto Scarlet. Yang now wore a rough brown jacket with a Yellow shirt underneath with tan cargo pants. Around her neck and over the back of her jacket was what remained of Ruby's hood.
"No fair, Auntie Yang, you cheated," Scarlet complained. Scarlet's hair was short ending just under her ears she wore a black jacket and pants with a red belt and boots reminiscent of her father's original Gi colors.
"How did I cheat?" Yang questioned as they got to the ground.
"You can't use your weapons. It gives you an unfair advantage!" Scarlet pouted.
"Oh, please, how would I be able to catch you if I didn't use it?" Yang questioned as they walked home.
"Besides, if I wanted to cheat, I would grab your tail." Yang teased as Scarlet cradled her tail, not liking it being touched.
"Hey, Auntie Yang, when can I start training to fight?" Scarlet asked.
"I can't say, Scarlet. That's for your mom to decide." Yang answered.
"But I don't think she wants me to fight though every time I ask, she looks sad and just tells me maybe when I'm older," Scarlet replied.
"Can't say I blame your mom. She's concerned about your safety, and while Grimm we can handle Cooler is another story." Yang began.
"Ever since your dad died, she's been very defensive, especially of you kiddo she just doesn't want what happened to him to happen to you." Yang finished.
"Auntie, what was my dad like?" Scarlet asked.
"Oh Jason, he was pretty cool, he was the strongest guy I knew and always put the lives of others before his own. He even saved my life and your mom's, but he always blamed himself for certain events." Yang explained.
"He was also one of the friendliest guys you'd ever meet, always looking to make new friends he said that he was inspired by your grandmother. But overall, he also loved to fight if he wasn't hanging out with us or in a class he was either training or eating." Yang added.
"Do you think my dad would have liked me?" Scarlet questioned.
"What kind of question is that if Jason was still here, he would love you, Scar, he would probably train you himself." Yang consoled.
Scarlet smiled happy with Yang's answer as they reached their home in Saiyatown. Over the years, the surviving members calling themselves Team DANY (Danny) rebuilt Jason's old home with Kai's help expanding it and cleaning up the village burying all the dead bodies.
Once they entered the house, Damian was sitting at the kitchen table looking over a map. Damian had grown a small beard and wore a gray short-sleeved jacket and black pants with Asher's sword and his own short sword on his back.
"Hey, you two, how was tag?" Damian asked as he watched them enter the house.
"It was fun, but Auntie Yang cheated." Scarlet pouted.
"I told you, little miss, using my weapons is not cheating." Yang defended, walking over towards Damian.
"Where are the others?" Yang asked.
"Neo and Amber went on a supply run for the you know what and Kai he's doing…you know his thing," Damian responded.
"Hey, Auntie Yang, Uncle Damian, I'm going to visit Dad," Scarlet said as she opened the front door.
"Okay, be careful," Yang replied.
Scarlet exited her home, and she walked over to where her father's grave was on a hill adjacent to the house. She knelt down next to the grave, looking at it, thinking about what to say. Jason's grave had a small tombstone with a pole sticking out with Evan's bandana attached to it flowing with the wind.
"Hi, Dad. I wish you were here." Scarlet began.
"Today's my birthday. I think everyone's preparing a surprise for me, so that's exciting." Scarlet continued wiping away some tears.
"I'm always told about what you're like, and I think I have a pretty good idea now, but I really wish I could have met you and that Cooler wasn't here." Scarlet finished.
"I wonder what you would do if you were here?" Scarlet wondered.
Scarlet then felt a hand grab her shoulder as she turned and saw her mother behind her. Neo now wore a black and pink coat split between the two colors in the middle with a white shirt underneath and black pants. She had also cut her hair short and still wore Roman's hat.
"Mama!" Scarlet exclaimed, giving her mother a hug her tail wagging with joy.
"How was the supply mission did it go well?" Scarlet asked.
Neo nodded and used sign language to speak to her daughter, telling her of what happened during their supply run.
"So still no sign of other people?" Scarlet asked as she and Neo walked back to the house. Neo shook her head as they reached the house stopping in the front.
"Aren't we going inside, Mom?" Scarlet asked.
"We will, but I wanted to give you something first." Neo signed.
Neo brought out two arm guards that seem to have been adjusted to fit Scarlet, who took them from her mother. She immediately put them on seeing a perfect fit for her, giving her a big smile on her face.
"Those used to belong to your father, and it took me a while to adjust them for you," Neo explained.
"Thank you, Mommy." Scarlet thanked, giving her mother a hug her tail wagging once more. Neo opened the door showing everyone else gathered around a cake with several candles on it.
"Happy seventh birthday, Scarlet!" Everyone cheered as Zwei barked in agreement.
They started a small party to celebrate Scarlet's birthday as Neo told her daughter that she can begin training to learn how to fight. It was one of the happiest days of Scarlet's life, one that she held very dear.
After that day, her training began as Kai and Yang helped strengthen her up, and Neo taught her how to fight and be nimble on her feet. Eventually, Scarlet began to become a natural martial artist like her father.
Scarlet quickly picked up on her training. Eventually, Kai explained to her the beginnings of Ki. Though not as good as Mura in instructing Ki, he was able to teach her the basics. However, they had to do this training sparingly, for it seemed that Cooler was able to detect the power.
It turned out to be true when Scarlet was allowed to go on a supply run with the others and was attacked by a Grimm. She instinctively used Ki and managed to kill it, but that alerted Cooler of their location. That was the first time Scarlet had ever known fear when she laid eyes on the tyrant or at least the Metal Cooler he was controlling.
"After many years of killing the vermin of this world. I finally find the ones I have been looking for as the last survivors." Cooler commented as the Metal Cooler landed.
"You're lying. There's no way we're the last ones!" Yang argued.
"Deny it all you want. I don't care, but have you seen another person besides yourselves anywhere?" Cooler pointed out as he approached them.
Everyone moved in front of Scarlet, hiding her from Cooler. She knew the reason having been told by her mother of her Saiyan heritage. Her mother had told her that Cooler wanted them all dead, including her. But seeing the tyrant up close made things seem even more real.
"We won't go down without a fight!" Damian declared drawing his weapons.
"I know I would be disappointed if you didn't." Cooler replied as he spotted Scarlet behind Neo.
"So the bastard spawn of the Saiyan had been born! This is too perfect I shall kill you all here starting with her!" Cooler declared as he sped towards the group.
Yang sprung into action as she punched at the Metal Cooler. However, her attack was caught, and the Metal Cooler backhanded Yang in the gut. She was thrown out of the way by the attack as the Metal Cooler advanced forward.
Damian and Amber attacked Cooler, staying between him and Scarlet as Neo held on to her daughter. Cooler easily broke through Amber and Damian's defense, knocking Amber away and throwing Damian into a tree.
"Please stop," Scarlet begged as she watched the people she considered family be beaten mercilessly in front of her.
A recovered Yang threw a ball of flame at Cooler, who was unharmed as he shot a small beam towards Scarlet, but her image shattered as Neo used her semblance to save her daughter. Neo and Scarlet hid behind a rock as the others fought with Neo covering Scarlet's ears and eyes so she wouldn't have to see or hear anything.
"Why? Why did this have to happen? Why does he have to kill everyone because of me?" Scarlet questioned as Yang was tossed through several trees next to them.
Scarlet could not take it anymore. She didn't want the people she cared about to be hurt anymore. She wrestled her away from her mother, who tried to get her back, but it was too late as Scarlet went around the boulder she hid behind.
"So the final Saiyan decides to show itself have to say I didn't expect it to be a little girl." Cooler goaded as he chocked Damian.
"That's sexist." Damian pointed out.
"And this is a fist." Cooler replied, punching Damian and the gut.
"STOP IT!" Scarlet shouted, getting Cooler's attention.
"STOP HURTING MY FAMILY!" Scarlet cried as power surged around her.
Cooler was not prepared for what happened next for years of not having to fight seriously. He was utterly vulnerable to Scarlet's attack. She released a large blast, which incinerated the Metal Cooler, and after expending so much energy, she passed out due to exhaustion. Neo quickly picked up her daughter, checking to see if she was okay. To her relief, she was, and they regrouped to head back to the house.
"He's going to be expecting us in this area now." Damian pointed out.
"We're probably going to have to relocate now even though it may be hard," Amber suggested.
"Can we also talk about how Scar just destroyed one of Cooler's metal bodies?" Yang questioned.
"Well, she is half Saiyan and Jason's daughter, so she's powerful but I think Cooler was toying with us probably he forgot what it was like to fight someone with power," Damian answered.
"Either way, we need to go no doubt his main body is on its way right now," Amber said.
Neo couldn't hear anything. The others were saying she was more focused on Scarlet. She was afraid that this day would come, but she knew it had to happen when her training began now. She had to train harder to fight for her life.
Eight Years Later…
Ever since then, Scarlet trained her hardest every day in every aspect of her fighting style martial arts and Ki though she had to find secluded areas to do so. She also had to adjust to the nomadic lifestyle she and the others had to live since to properly train her, she couldn't stay in one place for too long. However, she did visit the gravity dust vein to train under high gravity.
Scarlet did miss living at home, but she knew that if she were to stay there, she would never get strong enough to fight against Cooler. She was now fifteen years old and wore clothes similar to the ones she wore before keeping her hair short like her mom. Currently, she was meditating in her tent to increase the control of her Ki before she had to go to sleep until she was interrupted by her mother coming in.
"Hi, Mom, is something wrong?" Scarlet asked. Neo shook her head as she sat next to her daughter.
"No, it's just that today's the anniversary of…your father's death." Neo signed.
"Oh, right, I forgot about it with everything going on," Scarlet replied as she pulled out a picture from her pocket.
The picture was of her father and her mother with all their friends. She was told that this was taken before Cooler first came to Remnant, and she could tell that everyone in the picture was happy, especially her father.
"Do you think there will be a time without Cooler again?" Scarlet asked.
"I can't say especially since it seems to be true that we're the last people on Remnant, but I think that one day we can defeat him," Neo answered.
"I keep thinking to myself that there is a way, but I don't know how you told me the way Dad beat Cooler the first time was by turning into a Super Saiyan like that one Cooler said died on another planet but how could I do that," Scarlet replied.
"And even if I can turn into a Super Saiyan or this Primal State, you said that Dad wasn't able to stop Cooler the second time and now Cooler even has all of Dad's strength what can I do?" Scarlet added, crying a little. Neo pulled her daughter into a hug, comforting her as they sat in silence.
"We'll find a way one day," Neo assured.
Their moment together was soon interrupted as a small explosion was heard outside. Neo and Scarlet quickly ran outside to see one of the tents exploded, but thankfully no one was inside. Everyone gathered together and watched in horror as a Metal Cooler descended to the ground.
"Found you vermin." Cooler stated as his metal body landed.
"How did you find us?" Yang questioned.
"You could only run from me for so long pests after all you are the last sentient lifeforms on this planet." Cooler answered.
"This is the end prepare to die!" Cooler declared as several Metal Coolers descended from the sky.
Scarlet got ready for battle with everyone, but unlike her first encounter with a Metal Cooler this time, the tyrant was prepared not letting another slip up happen. Cooler completely devastated them and try as she might Scarlet barely held her own against a Metal Cooler.
This was only made worse as more came in to fight her dealing heavy blows, causing severe damage to the girl. She was then ultimately at the tyrant's mercy once a Metal Cooler grabbed her tail, forcing it away from her waist, which it was wrapped around such as her father once did.
"Guess you didn't train yourself to resist this weakness did you monkey?" Cooler mocked.
"My name is not monkey!" Scarlet asserted, trying to move with all her strength, but with her tail gripped, she was unable to move at all.
Soon everyone was captured and brought into a circle as the Metal Coolers surrounded them. It seemed as if they were waiting on something or someone, and it was evident of who they were waiting for as Cooler himself landed on their camp.
"It took me a while, but after so long, I will finally eradicate the Saiyan race." Cooler smiled as he walked towards the group.
Cooler stood in his final form, still either refusing to turn it off or unable to. Everyone was horrified at the sight of him, some believing that this was how it ended for nothing could save them since Cooler seemingly killed everyone else on Remnant.
"How long have I waited for this day." Cooler said as he stopped in front of Scarlet, grabbing onto her head and lifting her off the ground while a Metal Cooler still held onto her tail.
"I will kill you first Saiyan I will not take any chances." Cooler stated remembering what happened when he killed the Saiyan's friend in front of him. It is what caused him to turn into a Super Saiyan.
Cooler raised his hand, pointing his finger at Scarlet, charging up energy for the kill. Neo watched in horror as once more, Cooler was about to kill someone she cared about more than anyone else. First, he killed the man she loved, and now he was about to kill her only daughter.
Neo wasn't going to let that happen as she used her semblance to free herself from the Metal Cooler's grasp then jump in front of Cooler just as he fired the beam. She blocked the beam by taking her daughter's place, the beam piercing her in the right part of the chest and passing through then just right of Scarlet.
Scarlet was stunned at her mother's actions as she fell to the ground, tears forming in her eyes. She didn't want to lose anyone in her proxy family, but most of all, she didn't want to lose her mother, the woman who cared most about her. When Scarlet first met Cooler, it was the first time she felt fear, but now he caused her to experience another feeling for the first time.
Despair.
"MOM!" Scarlet cried as she looked down upon her mother, who laid bleeding out on the ground.
Her cries turned into a loud scream as her tears disappeared, and her hair began to become spikier and golden blonde, and her heterochromia eyes both turned to the same color being turquoise. Her tail took on the same color as the power emanating from her created a shockwave pushing the Coolers away.
"She turned into a Super Saiyan!" Yang gasped as her Damian and Amber freed themselves in the confusion.
Scarlet was overcome with the power flowing through her unable to contain her feelings and went on a rampage. She attacked every Metal Cooler in sight, dealing some damage to each and shoving it away before she attacked Cooler himself.
Cooler was unfazed by her attacks as she punched him several times in the face and kicked him in the side. He grabbed onto her leg then punched her straight in her face sending her into the nearby hill. Yang and the others ran to Neo's side, putting pressure on her wound as she barely clung to life.
"It's going to be okay, Neo we're going to make you all better," Yang assured.
"Is…Scarlet…is she…okay?" Neo weakly signed. Yang looked up to see Scarlet's futile attempts to attack Cooler as he easily blocked her.
"She's fine right now. You need to worry about yourself." Yang answered. It seemed Neo was doomed to die any second due to blood loss until an all too familiar sound came.
"Sup maggots got a bad situation here, don't we." Kai pointed out as he teleported in front of the group.
"Kai Neo's hurt, we need to get her out of here!" Amber said.
"Yeah, no shit, why do you think I'm here let's go," Kai replied as he picked up a wounded Neo.
"Scarlet forget about them. We need to go!" Yang yelled as Scarlet kept attempting to fight Cooler.
Her plea fell on deaf ears, however, as Scarlet let the rage of a Super Saiyan consumer her as she wasn't thinking straight attacking Cooler wildly. Scarlet attempted to kick Cooler in the face, but he grabbed her leg and threw her through several trees.
"I try to prevent this, and even then, it still happens, but it matters not as I am still stronger than you, Saiyan." Cooler stated as he slowly walked over to Scarlet, who charged at him punching his face.
"Idon'tcareifyou'restrongerthanmeyoukilledmyfatherandeveryoneonRemnantyoumonsterIwon'tletyougetawaywiththis!" Scarlet muttered incoherently continuing to punch Cooler.
"Truly pathetic." Cooler commented, catching Scarlet's fist and crushing it, causing Scarlet to scream in pain.
"I'll call that payback for when your father did the same to me in the very form you're using but know this." Cooler began as he kicked Scarlet upwards.
"He was much stronger than you it this form!" Cooler declared appearing above Scarlet elbowing the Saiyan-Hybrid in the back.
Scarlet fell towards the ground shattering it as she made impact. She laid unconscious on the ground, her hair and tail returning to their original colors as Cooler descended landing in front of her.
"That was underwhelming your father put up a much better fight than you did." Cooler said.
Suddenly Kai appeared behind Scarlet and picked her up, disappearing then reappearing with the others. This caught Cooler off guard as Kai teleported them away from the area far away.
"DAMMIT! I WAS SO CLOSE, HOW DARE YOU RUN AWAY!" Cooler yelled as the area around him shattered from his energy.
Days Later…
Scarlet slowly woke up to unfamiliar surroundings remembering the events that had just transpired. She quickly got out of the bed she was placed in wincing at the pain of her hand and looked around the room she was in. The room was small and seemed to have been untouched for years, but that didn't matter to Scarlet.
She looked for her mother but didn't see her in the room, so she exited the room to look some more. Eventually, she found everyone in a living room downstairs, and they were delighted to see that she was okay.
"Scar, you're okay!" Yang exclaimed, hugging Scarlet.
"Yeah, I'm just sore, and my hand hurts," Scarlet replied, raising her bandaged hand.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious it should heal soon," Yang assured.
"Where's Mom?" Scarlet asked concerned for the wellbeing of her mother.
"She's fine, just resting. She lost a lot of blood, but thanks to Kai coming, she'll survive, but I can't say when she'll wake up." Yang answered, sitting Scarlet down.
"Where are we?" Scarlet questioned.
"This is my old home in Patch haven't been here in years save for a few visits, and when we buried Zwei," Yang answered.
Scarlet saw some sadness in Yang's eyes, so she decided not to talk too much about it. They told her that she had been unconscious for about two days and that for the time being, they were going to lay low in the house as Cooler searched for them.
"What does that mean for my training?" Scarlet asked.
"For the moment, it's going to need to be put on hold, especially with Super Saiyan. The minute you use it, he'll know where you are." Damian explained.
"He's right sorry, Scar." Yang agreed.
"I understand. Even so, it's just like I thought I turned Super Saiyan and not even that made me a match for Cooler." Scarlet replied.
"That's just because you're a fledgling Super Saiyan." Amber pointed out.
"A fledgling Super Saiyan, I don't understand," Scarlet replied.
"Your dad once told us that he felt that there was a way to surpass Super Saiyan and before he died, he trained nearly every day with it, and we could sense his increasing strength." Yang began.
"Then, one day, he was in Super Saiyan all the time, basically unable to turn it off but produced no energy to alert anyone, and he was very powerful." Damian finished.
"So eventually, I will be able to train with Super Saiyan like that and be able to become even stronger to be able to defeat Cooler?" Scarlet questioned.
"Well, no, you won't since the second you use it Cooler will know where you are," Amber answered.
"So, what should I do with my training?" Scarlet asked.
"We'll do what we've been doing for your training just more discreet and less with energy use," Yang answered.
"It's going to be a slow ride, and to be honest, who knows if it will pay off, but we have to try," Damian said.
Scarlet nodded understanding, then stood up to visit her mother in the room she was put in. Neo laid unconscious in bed as Scarlet sat next to her, grabbing hold of her mother's hand. She was saddened to see her mother in such a state, but she was happy at the same time that her mother was alive.
"I wish I was able to protect you, Mom, but I promise no matter how long it takes, I will become stronger so that I can defeat Cooler to avenge Dad and everyone that Cooler killed on Remnant," Scarlet vowed.
It took two months before Neo woke up, and then Scarlet began training again much harder completing the gravity training her father came up with years ago in a week. Afterward, she would meditate, increasing her Ki, and do everything she could to become stronger.
In the end, two years had passed, and Scarlet made significant progress from what they could tell. During that time, they left Yang's old home and went around the globe once more to avoid Cooler, and this time they didn't bother to set up a camp and instead opted to make a shelter out of the surrounding area and stay in caves.
While traveling, everyone's spirits were saddened to see more evidence of Cooler's claim as they found no sign of life from anyone other than themselves. But unknown to anyone, a lavender haired Saiyan-Hybrid had just returned from a trip to the past. His return was about to change everything.
Age 784 on Earth…
Trunks landed outside the ruins of Capsule Corp, his home, and entered the house. He had just returned to the future after Gohan had killed Cell and now freed his own time from the android menace. But one thing was on his mind Remnant the world he and the other Z-Fighters went to help the other Saiyan.
"We were there to help them, but if we weren't like they were here, then what happened?" Trunks questioned as he approached his mother.
"Trunks, you're back! What happened with the androids?" Bulma asked.
"They're gone for good. We're finally free." Trunks answered.
"After so many years, it's hard to imagine," Bulma replied, some tears of joy coming down.
"Mother, I was wondering something how long would it take you to build a spaceship?" Trunks questioned.
"A spaceship, why would you want one?" Bulma questioned.
"While in the past, I learned of a planet with a human population called Remnant, it was attacked by Frieza's older brother Cooler." Trunks began.
"We went and helped everyone on the planet, and there was also another Super Saiyan there named Jason who was very nice I wish to check on the planet in our time to see what happened." Trunks finished.
"There was another Saiyan out there huh well I think I have some spare parts from previous ships I've made I'd say about two months I can get one ready." Bulma estimated.
"That'll be perfect, thank you, mother." Trunks replied.
Two and a Half Months Later on Remnant…
Scarlet rose from her bed, waking up to the morning, getting prepared to train for the day. They were currently back in her old home in Saiyatown having returned the night before though sadly, they wouldn't stay for too long.
She put on her clothes which now consisted of a red T-shirt, black cargo pants with a red belt, and finally red boots with black straps, and now she stood five foot five. Walking downstairs, Scarlet was met with the sight of everyone already up and armed.
"Is something wrong I thought we weren't leaving until tomorrow?" Scarlet asked.
"Somethings not right. Everything's quiet outside." Damian answered.
"In what way?" Scarlet questioned, taking a position by a window.
"There's no birds or any animals. The only thing making noise is the wind contrary to what it was like yesterday." Amber explained.
"There's a chance he found us, so be careful," Neo told her daughter, who nodded.
"Where's Kai?" Scarlet asked.
"Stoned off his ass, so he's no help right now," Damian answered.
They all listened carefully as the wind blew outside with the house creaking due to old age. Everyone was on edge. The only reason that the birds, animals, and a few Grimm that roamed the empty village would leave was if something much stronger had come.
Soon the creaking of the house ceased as the air stood still inside the house. Until a light tap was heard from above. The entire roof collapsed upon everyone who dodged the debris or blocking it so that the debris would not hurt them.
"Found you filth, I knew you'd return to one of your frequented areas eventually, and now I will not allow you to escape!" Cooler declared as he descended into the house.
"You're way too persistent, monster!" Yang hissed as she pushed debris off of her and Amber.
"I won't deny it, but this is my favorite pastime. Hunting you all since I can't fly to another inhabited world capable of space travel, I will finish what I originally came here to do exterminating the local lifeforms on this planet and eradicating the last Saiyan!" Cooler replied.
"That's not going to happen!" Scarlet shouted as she turned Super Saiyan and unleashing her full power.
"I see you've become stronger simian, but you still don't hold a candle to me, and I can't still tell you aren't on the same level as your father." Cooler commented.
"I know, but even so, I'll fight to the bitter end like my father!" Scarlet declared as she charged at Cooler, who kicked the girl towards the sky, which had what seemed like a small army of thirty Metal Coolers.
"No need to worry, Saiyan, they won't attack you. I wish to kill you by my own hands, not a robotic proxy." Cooler assured.
"But for your family and friends below, I can't say the same thing," Cooler added as several Metal Coolers dropped to the ground.
"NO!" Scarlet yelled as she went to intercept, but she was blocked by Cooler, who smacked her away.
Unprepared for the sudden attack, Scarlet was disorientated as she broke through several trees. When she stopped herself, Cooler appeared behind her chopping at her, but she just managed to duck under the attack.
Flipping over and onto her hands, she kicked Cooler in the chin sending him into the sky then proceeded to follow him. Scarlet blasted several balls of Ki at Cooler before she reached him, but he deflected each one as he flew at her.
The two clashed and held each other in place, but quickly Cooler overpowered Scarlet spinning around and throwing her towards the ground. The impact created a large crater in the ground as Scarlet picked herself up from the ground.
She quickly backflipped to dodge an attack from Cooler then kicked Cooler in the face. Then She punched him in the chest, pushing the tyrant away then charged a large amount of Ki to attack Cooler.
"Demolition Cannon!" Scarlet shouted, shooting a large red beam at Cooler.
Cooler held up a single hand, stopping the attack keeping it at bay. He closed his hand, scattering the attack and stopping it completely. The tyrant charged his own attack and blasted it at Scarlet, who crossed her arms to defend herself.
When the blast made impact, she was sent flying back and through several trees until the attack stopped, and Cooler appeared in front of her. Cooler grabbed onto her head and slammed her into the ground several times before throwing her back towards her home.
Scarlet tumbled onto the ground and landed near her father's grave, seeing Evan's bandanna flow with the wind. Cooler landed in front of her seeing the grave approaching it as Scarlet blasted him in the back to stop him from getting closer.
"So you recovered the body. I see it's almost poetic to die next to the remains of your father." Cooler commented as he crushed the tombstone and the pole behind it.
Scarlet was distraught to see that Cooler had desecrated her father's grave as Evan's bandanna landed in front of her. She picked it up, and much like the photos she saw of her father after the Haven event, she tied it onto the upper part of her left arm.
Slowly she got to her feet as Cooler turned back around to face her. The two stared each other down as time seemed to slow down. Scarlet was angry. It was the first time she'd ever been so angry in her life, never knowing that such an evil could exist in the universe.
"How dare you desecrate my father's grave, you monster!" Scarlet yelled as she powered up more. Her golden energy fluctuated, becoming stronger with small sparks forming. (AN: Not Super Saiyan 2)
Scarlet charged at the tyrant and slammed her fist into his gut, getting a visible reaction. Refusing to stop, she continued to assault Cooler pushing him back. During this time, the others fought off and ran from the Metal Coolers that attacked them.
Cooler began to use more of his power about half to match Scarlet's power, beginning to turn the tide of battle back to his favor. The two clashed several times around the area as Neo watched them from below when she could from her own fight.
"Be careful." Neo hoped as she used her semblance to evade a Metal Cooler.
That proved easier said, or in this case, thought, than done as Cooler began to overwhelm Scarlet. He pushed her straight into the ground burrowing through the dirt below until they shot back out as Cooler threw Scarlet away.
The Saiyan-Hybrid stopped her momentum and flew up to dodge a follow-up attack from Cooler. She blasted him from above, sending him into the ground then proceeded to throw a volley of blasts at Cooler.
The tyrant shot out from the ground and planted his fist into Scarlet's stomach, causing her to cough blood. Cooler then wrapped his tail around her neck, strangling her and punching her several times in the stomach.
"This situation seems similar, doesn't it Saiyan? I do believe that I was going to kill you like this until that vermin got in my way." Cooler pointed out.
"She is not vermin. She is my mother!" Scarlet replied, using all her strength to try and remove Cooler's tail from around her neck, but it would not budge.
"It's useless I am using near my full strength to keep my tail in place. I will not allow you to escape my grasp again, Saiyan." Cooler explained as he raised his hand and pointed at Scarlet.
He began to charge up energy once again in his finger, repeating what he had done two years prior. Everyone looked over in horror at the sight, distracting themselves from their fight, causing the Metal Coolers to be able to land several blows on them.
Neo weakly looked up from the ground to see Cooler prepare to kill Scarlet, and this time there was nothing she could do but watch. She was helpless to do anything to protect the one she loved, just like with Jason seventeen years ago.
Just as Cooler and his metal counterparts were going to kill everyone, they were distracted by a new energy signature that appeared above. They all turned to see a boy descending on Cooler with golden blonde hair and a sword which he used to cut through his tail.
"AAARRRGGGGHHHH!" Cooler screamed in pain as Scarlet was freed from his grasp.
The boy then proceeded to cut through each and every Metal Cooler he could get to, including the ones that were going to kill the others. Once he was done clearing out a good chunk of the Metal Coolers there, he flew up next to Scarlet and faced Cooler.
"Impossible you…you are a Saiyan, aren't you!?" Cooler questioned much to the surprise of everyone there.
"That's correct. My name is Trunks son of Vegeta, and I am from Earth!" Trunks declared.
"Impossible my men said that all the Saiyans on Earth died!" Cooler replied.
"Well, they weren't entirely wrong. I'm the last one, and I'm only half Saiyan." Trunks clarified.
"You're a Saiyan?" Scarlet asked as she stared at Trunks, who was a Super Saiyan like her, but it felt different for his power seemed more honed and stronger than her own.
"That's right, and I'm here to help." Trunks responded, causing Scarlet to smile happy for the help given.
"You won't be of much help, Saiyan filth when I kill you and the girl here and now!" Cooler yelled as he attacked the two Saiyan-Hybrids.
Trunks sheathed his sword and split up with Scarlet as they avoided Cooler's attack. Once he was out of the way, he blasted Cooler with a Burning Attack sending the tyrant towards the ground.
Scarlet seeing a prime opportunity intercepted Cooler and kicked him in the head, flipping him over, then blasted him point-blank. This pushed Cooler away a certain distance, so in turn, Metal Coolers began to attack Trunks and Scarlet.
Both made quick work of the Metal Coolers working together to take them out. While the Metal Coolers had the number advantage without Cooler in control of them, they were uncoordinated. Once Cooler returned, there were no Metal Coolers left infuriating the tyrant.
"I did not come all this way just to lose I will kill you all, and then I will take the ship you used to get here and return to my empire!" Cooler declared.
"That's not happening Cooler today you die for every last person you slaughtered!" Trunks replied.
"He's right for my father and the people of Remnant you will die today!" Scarlet agreed as the two lined up together.
Powering up to full the two Saiyan-Hybrids charged at Cooler who charged at them in turn. The three collided with Scarlet and Trunks double-teaming Cooler, who was forced to use more of his power to compensate.
Trunks quickly pulled out his sword and slashed Cooler across the face taking the tyrant by surprise. As Cooler was distracted by the sudden pain, Scarlet used this to kick Cooler in the stomach then hammer him towards the ground.
Following him, Trunks and Scarlet blasted him with several blasts of energy. But Cooler took the brunt of the attacks and grabbed onto Trunks's head and threw him into Scarlet, who caught the fellow Saiyan-Hybrid.
Once their momentum stopped, the two split up as Cooler attacked them once more. Trunks swung his sword at Cooler, but this time the tyrant was prepared as he grabbed onto the blade. Before he could break it apart, however, Scarlet planted her fist into Cooler's spine.
The tyrant cried out in pain as he was thrown away from Trunks and Scarlet, falling to the ground below. As Cooler was made impact with the ground below, Scarlet and Trunks took this time to strategize.
"We need to end him now while he's not at full power since there are only two of us here. We can't take him on if we use everything we have." Trunks advised.
"You're right. I'm not as strong as you or him, so we need to take him out, but how?" Scarlet questioned.
"We combine our strength and take him out with one strong blow." Trunks answered, holding out his sword to Scarlet.
She grabbed onto the hilt with him, and both charged their energy into the blade as Cooler shot out from the ground. The two Hybrids charged full speed at Cooler, who went to blast the two away, but with their combined power and speed, it was too late.
They stabbed Cooler straight through his head and the chip that let him control the Metal Coolers. Letting go of the sword, it shot straight through his head and into the ground, and with a loud scream, Cooler fell to the ground dead.
To make sure that he was dead, Trunks and Scarlet blasted his body apart, leaving nothing behind but a crater below. After seventeen years of hiding and running, the monster that had wiped almost all life on Remnant was dead.
"He's dead," Scarlet said as she and Trunks landed on the ground turning off Super Saiyan.
"He's finally dead." Scarlet cried in joy, having avenged her father and the people of Remnant.
"Thank you, Trunks." Scarlet thanked wiping the tears from her eyes.
"It was no problem I know what it's like to hide and be afraid of someone stronger than you." Trunks replied.
"My name is Scarlet, by the way, Scarlet Shin." Scarlet introduced herself as the others slowly made their way to them.
"Shin like Jason?" Trunks questioned, taking Scarlet by surprise.
"How do you know my father's name?" Scarlet asked as the others joined them.
"He knows Jason? That's impossible he died seventeen years ago." Damian denied.
"Yeah, who are you?" Yang questioned, getting up close to Trunks.
"Aunt Yang, he's not a bad guy. He just saved us and helped me kill Cooler!" Scarlet defended Trunks.
"Yes, I mean no harm." Trunks agreed.
"Answer the question!" Yang demanded.
"My name is Trunks Briefs. I come from a planet known as Earth, and I am a half Saiyan." Trunks answered. Calming down a bit, the others relaxed and began to question Trunks some more.
"Why did you help us?" Amber asked.
"When I learned of the situation of this planet, I wanted to help because I know what it's like to live in fear while being hunted down." Trunks began.
"Back on my planet, there were two androids who devastated the planet they killed many of us toying with us like it was a game that is until I finally put them down a couple of months ago." Trunks continued.
"I just wish I found out sooner so that I could have helped the rest of the people of this world." Trunks finished sensing that there was no other person on the planet save the people in front of him.
"Well, when you put it like that, I guess you're trustworthy," Yang said. Neo hugged Scarlet, who hugged her back happy that the other was okay. She then signed a message to her daughter to translate to Trunks.
"Mr. Trunks…" Scarlet addressed.
"You can just call me Trunks I don't think I'm that much older than you." Trunks replied.
"Oh, okay, but earlier you mentioned my father's name, did you know him?" Scarlet asked.
"Yes, I met him just not the one you all know." Trunks answered.
"Okay, now you're not making sense anymore how can you meet him and at the same time not meet the one we know?" Yang questioned.
"The same way I found out about this planet and all of you." Trunks began.
"You see, I wasn't always this strong, and back on Earth, all seemed hopeless because of the androids. So instead of fighting them my mother built a time machine so that I could go back in time and prevent the death of a man named Goku. This way, the androids would be defeated before they could go on a rampage." Trunks answered.
"A time machine?!" Yang gasped.
"That's right. Unfortunately, time travel didn't work like we thought, so instead of changing our time, I created a new timeline where Goku survived, and new threats came. So I stayed to help and became stronger, and during that time, a man named King Kai told us about Cooler attacking this planet." Trunks added.
"So that means you already met us but a different version of us." Damian assumed.
"Exactly, I've met all of you in that time save Scarlet, and there we stopped Cooler before any of this could occur." Trunks explained.
"So does that mean in this other timeline you made did everyone survive? Did my sister survive?" Yang questioned, looking at Trunks with a hopeful gaze.
"Your sister is Ruby right the girl way too interested in weapons?" Trunks asked.
"Yes, that's her, is she okay?" Yang asked again.
"Yes, she's fine in that timeline, and so is Jason and the rest of your friends." Trunks answered as he pulled out a picture.
"We even took a celebratory picture during the little party the general of Atlas had for us." Trunks said, showing everyone the picture.
The picture was of Jason in between Goku and Vegeta, smiling with the others around them. Yang began to cry as she saw her and Ruby with one another in the background of the picture, and when Damian saw Alex, he did the same.
Neo and Scarlet began to cry when they looked at Jason, who seemed to be really happy. Though they had to suffer through hard times the knowledge that in another timeline that their friends and family were still alive and well made them the happiest they've been in years.
"Thank you." Yang cried, wiping away her tears.
"You know it's been so long now that Cooler's dead, I don't know what to do anymore." Damian pointed out.
"Yeah, we're the last people on this planet what should we do now?" Amber wondered.
"If you'd like I can take you all with me back to Earth there are still many of us alive there rebuilding the ruins left by the androids." Trunks offered.
"Go to Earth, are you sure?" Yang asked.
"Of course though life may be a bit different with no monsters like the Grimm to fight just living a life." Trunks responded.
"I would like that it's been too long since I've lived a simple life," Amber replied.
"I think we'll all take your offer," Damian said.
"But before we go, I want to rebuild my father's grave first," Scarlet stated.
"Of course, take your time." Trunks replied.
Scarlet and Neo walked over towards the remains of Jason's grave, taking the shattered pieces and putting them back together. Once done, they placed flowers over the grave one last time before they left.
"It's over Dad Cooler's finally gone, and now we're starting over again on Earth I hope that's okay that we won't be visiting for a least a while," Scarlet said.
"I happy knowing that you're alive in another timeline so that the me of that time will be able to grow up with you, goodbye." Scarlet finished as she left. Neo knelt down, shedding a tear, and followed her daughter.
"So you maggots heading off-world?" Kai asked as Neo and Scarlet returned to everyone.
"Yep, you want to come, Kai?" Damian responded.
"Nope, I'm going to stay here," Kai replied.
"Really why Kai?" Scarlet asked.
"I got the whole world to myself to do anything I want I will make this like a vacation though I will miss you all this is where I must stay," Kai answered.
"Plus, all my stuff is here, including my stash," Kai added.
"Well, all things considered, we'll miss you, Kai," Amber said.
"I'll miss you all too…goodbye," Kai replied, disappearing.
Soon Trunks took his spaceship out of the capsule, and everyone entered. Scarlet looked back once more at the remains of her childhood home, and of the planet, she was born on before entering the ship. Once on board, the ship took off on course for the planet Earth.
Earth One Week Later…
Bulma stood in front of her home, guiding a crew on the repairs and the new design of Capsule Corporation when her watched beeped. This was an indicator that Trunks was entering the atmosphere, so she went to the backyard and watched as the spaceship landed. The door slowly opened, revealing Trunks and to Bulma's surprise others exiting the craft.
"Welcome to Earth, everyone." Trunks announced as everyone got out of the ship.
"Wow, this place is huge!" Scarlet exclaimed, looking around.
"Well, I wish you told me you were bringing guests Trunks I would have prepared something for them," Bulma said as she approached them.
"Sorry, but without long-range communication, I couldn't tell you." Trunks apologized.
"It's fine now mind introducing me?" Bulma asked.
"This is Scarlet, her mother Neo, and their friends Yang, Damian, and Amber, the only survivors on Remnant." Trunks introduced.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Scarlet greeted, bowing her head a little.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I just wish we could've helped sooner, but we had our own problems." Bulma replied.
"It's fine being free of Cooler is a relief of its own," Yang said.
"It seems the repairs are going well." Trunks pointed out.
"Yes, it should be done in the next couple of days, and with Capsule Corporation back in action soon repairs of the rest of the world will be turbocharged!" Bulma exclaimed.
"Wow, it sounds like your company is even more powerful that the Schnee Dust Company," Yang commented.
"The what?" Bulma asked.
"It's nothing," Yang responded.
"Well, come on it. I'll cook up some food for you, and by the looks of it, I have to prepare for two Saiyan mouths." Bulma offered walking inside the house.
Everyone slowly entered the building, following Bulma nervous about being on another planet and on how to talk with Bulma and Trunks. As everyone walked up front, Trunks and Scarlet walked in the back.
"Hey, Trunks, can I ask you something?" Scarlet inquired.
"Sure." Trunks responded.
"Would you mind training me?" Scarlet asked.
"Training you, really, you want me to train you?" Trunks questioned, surprised at the notion.
"Yes, I wish to become stronger, and I haven't been able to train to my fullest on Remnant since I was trying to hide from Cooler," Scarlet explained.
"Sure, if you'd like, I can help you get to my level, and one day we can both ascend to the next level together." Trunks replied.
"Thank you. I would like that." Scarlet said as they entered the dining room and to a new beginning.
Cooler has been defeated not once but twice in both timelines! Now the survivors of Remnant settle themselves on Earth. Next Time our heroes in the main timeline begin to prepare for the battle with Salem as Salem herself prepares to bring her monstrosity to life!
Author's Note:
Hey, guys, I hope you enjoyed the future timeline special, and also if it was not obvious, it is cannon to the story (Duh). I told you things would get dark/bad in this timeline I can't tell you how bad I felt when I had to kill off so many of the main characters it was weird. Now to answer a few questions, some of you may have first about Scarlet and how she even exists here.
Like I said in chapter 26, the Neo in the main timeline is not pregnant, but in this one, she did get pregnant, and I made that because of the effect of Trunk's time travel (Hinted at it even).
I am putting it on the small differences from the main timeline and his like how androids 18 and 17 are stronger and how androids 19 and 20 were the ones to appear first.
I know that it may not be something that could have happened with it, but I'll just do what I want. Next, Scarlet's strength is about half of how strong Jason was in Super Saiyan grade 4 because unlike with Trunks, she was unable to train freely.
This is because unlike Future Androids 17 and 18 who killed for fun and didn't focus on it, Cooler made it his mission to wipe out all life on Remnant. He slaughtered people without hesitation, and with his Metal Coolers easily wiped out most of life on Remnant save our survivors.
Also, Scarlet is a half Saiyan, and they are said to have more potential than full-blooded Saiyans, so that's another reason she got strong with the training I wrote for her.
Also, about Cooler seeing that Neo was pregnant even though only a day has transpired, I know it was unrealistic, but he has greater tech, so that's the excuse though I know it shouldn't be possible, so don't complain it's just a plot reason.
Finally, I know the fight with Cooler was short, but I already wrote a large final battle with him last chapter, so I didn't want to just have you guys relive that. But I did want it to be different and still entertaining, and I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Next Chapter will start the next arc (Coda Arc), and compared to the others, it will be relatively short in comparison since I started to build it up in the beginning of this arc. Check out the new cover art for the new arc now. See you guys next time!
