Chapter 39: Jason Vs. Zandaka
Last Time our hero began his battle against the two halves of Zandaka in his new form. He easily overpowered the two until he killed The Dark Half, who, upon his death, used the last of his power to merge with his other half.
With the clock against him, Jason fought with The Light Half to prevent Zandaka's revival. However, he was too late! During the Short time, Zandaka has returned, he has overpowered Jason easily until Jason released his full power. Will Jason be able to defeat the demon prince, or will he die once more? Find out Now!
Remnant…
Jason's fist collided with Zandaka, resulting in a massive shockwave that further broke the land below. However, instead of his attack hitting its mark, the demon prince caught it and countered with his own punch to Jason's gut.
Zandaka did not let up at one strike as he slammed his fist several times into Jason's gut until he let go of Jason's fist and kicked the Saiyan away. Once he stopped his momentum, Jason spun around to avoid Zandaka's follow up attack then fired a Quasar Flare point-blank to send the demon away.
The fully revived demon seemed to be an equal match for Jason, even in his Super Saiyan Primal form. However, as Jason continued to clash with Zandaka across the planet, he could feel the monster grow stronger.
It seemed that with every minute that passed, Zandaka got stronger and stronger, regaining the strength he had lost since he was split into two beings. Jason attempted to kick Zandaka in the chest, but the demon reacted quickly, blocking the kick and countering with his own hitting Jason's face.
After crashing through several mountains, Jason hit the ground, fracturing the area of impact. It's almost as if his new transformation was up to the task anymore. But Jason would be damned if he let that stop him from fighting this demon.
As Jason got up, Zandaka closed the distance between them and appeared in front of the Saiyan Warrior. The two clashed, exchanging several blows, but it was clear who had the upper hand as Zandaka elbowed Jason in the face.
"So this is the warrior that nearly killed my two halves. I'm surprised that you gave them such trouble." Zandaka commented as he floated over Jason.
"You haven't seen anything yet!" Jason declared as he charged at Zandaka.
Spinning around, Jason attempted to kick Zandaka in the head, but the demon ducked under. In response, Jason fired a point-blank Armageddon Blast at the demon's chest. Zandaka took the attack in stride, and though he took slight damage, he didn't move an inch.
Grabbing onto Jason's head, the demon threw him into the ground. He followed it up by dropping down from the sky, planting his feet in Jason's stomach. Jason grabbed onto Zandaka's legs and slammed him into the ground beside him.
Jumping up, Jason flew upwards into the sky to blast the entire area into ash. However, once he got up high enough, Zandaka disappeared. Suddenly Jason was put into a headlock as Zandaka reappeared next to him.
Twisting in Zandaka's grip, Jason attempted to break free, trying to hit him, but it was ineffective as Zandaka strengthened his grip. Getting an idea, Jason used his tail to blindside Zandaka by hitting him in the face.
The sudden attack caused Zandaka to loosen his grip enough to Jason to break free then use his tail once more to grab onto Zandaka's arm. Not missing a beat, Jason spun around and threw the demon away across the planet.
"I should use my tail more often like that," Jason said as he breathed heavily.
Usually, Jason would go after any enemy he would throw, but he knew that it would only take a few moments for Zandaka to reappear next to him. As if to prove his point, Zandaka appeared next to Jason chopping at his head, but Jason managed to dodge the attack.
Jason then wrapped his legs around Zandaka's arm then proceeded to put it in an arm lock. Once Jason had him in the arm lock, he attempted to break the demon's arm. However, Zandaka was unfazed by Jason's struggle on his arm, eventually throwing him off.
Quickly recovering, Jason crossed his arms to block Zandaka's follow up attack. The sheer force of the attack nearly broke both of his arms. It seemed as if no matter what Jason did, Zandaka was able to get back up from it with ease.
Other World Heaven…
"He's going to be able to win…right?" Ruby questioned.
"At this point, who knows," Yang responded, concerned for her friend.
"King Kai, are you awake yet?" Goku asked.
"Yeah…I'm…I'm awake." King Kai answered through telepathy.
"What are Jason's odds right now that Zandaka's whole again?" Goku inquired.
"It's hard to say Zandaka at the moment is still recovering his power, but he is still easily taking on Jason in his new form." King Kai began.
"However, I believe Jason has yet to tap into the full potential of this new form of his, so there may yet be hope." King Kai revealed.
"Let's hope Jason can tap into that full potential, or else Shenron might get impatient," Goku replied.
Earth Kami's Lookout…
"What is your second wish? Speak it now!" Shenron demanded.
"Just wait a little while longer, Shenron," Dende begged.
"Dende, how much longer are you going to make Shenron wait?" Piccolo questioned as he landed on the lookout.
"Piccolo! Well, I can't make the second wish just yet." Dende began.
"King Kai requested I wish for the people of Remnant to be revived when the Saiyan named Jason kills the demon that has made residence there, but he has yet to do so," Dende explained.
"I see, so that's the monstrous power I felt earlier," Piccolo replied.
"Leave it to a Saiyan to grow so strong." Piccolo sighed.
"King Kai, can you hear me?" Piccolo asked.
"Piccolo? Is that you?" King Kai questioned.
"It is what's going on currently on Remnant?" Piccolo inquired.
"A demon named Zandaka has wiped out all life there, and now Jason is attempting to kill the demon so that the rest of Remnant can be revived." King Kai explained.
"I see, is there anything we can do to help?" Piccolo asked.
"Sadly, no, it would take you too long to get there." King Kai answered.
"I understand," Piccolo replied.
Earth Capsule Corp…
"Vegeta, can you help me with Trunks? I have to go to a meeting soon?" Bulma requested as she roamed her home, looking for her husband with a sleeping Trunks in her arms.
"Vegeta?" Bulma inquired as she found her husband.
Vegeta was looking out one of the many windows of their home at the dark sky above. His usual scowl seemed more profound than usual as if something else was getting under his skin. The last time Bulma had seen Vegeta like this was after Goku's training in the time chamber was more productive than his.
"Vegeta is something wrong?" Bulma asked as the Saiyan Prince remained quiet.
"Curse you, Arrow, you too have surpassed me." Vegeta cursed as he sensed Jason's battle.
"Mark my words, I will surpass you and Kakarot both!" Vegeta vowed as he turned his attention to Bulma.
Remnant…
Jason flew away as Zandaka chased after him attempting to get some distance from the demon to think of a plan. Thankfully it seemed as if Zandaka could not sense Jason's energy, so if he could lose him, he could hide easier.
"I have no choice I need to lose him in a city hopefully Ironwood won't get on my case once this is over." Jason thought as he flew to the nearest city, which was Atlas.
Going full speed, Jason flew into the floating city, dashing between several buildings until he finally shook off Zandaka. This did not mean that he could escape to charge up however, for Zandaka waited above knowing that Jason would move at one point.
"Shit." Jason cursed.
"Thank goodness Ki is able to keep this place floating now that the relic of creation is gone." Jason thanked as he took a breather.
"Excuse me who are you?" A Voice asked, surprising Jason as he turned to see the source of the voice.
Not a single person should still remain on Remnant save himself and Zandaka. When he turned around, he was met with the sight of Penny Polendina staring at him. At first, Jason couldn't say anything too shocked at what he saw until he remembered that Penny wasn't really human.
"That's right. She's an android guess I forgot since she is nothing like an android." Jason thought.
"Penny, what are you doing here?" Jason questioned.
"Oh, I'm sorry, do I know you?" Penny inquired.
"Penny, it's me, Jason," Jason revealed.
"Jason, is that really you? You look so different I'm sorry I didn't recognize you." Penny apologized.
"It's fine, don't worry about it, but you need to get somewhere safe." Jason insisted.
"Really? Why? Is something wrong?" Penny questioned, tilting her head.
"Does it have to do something about him?" Penny asked, pointing at Zandaka.
"Yes, I don't have much time to explain, so I will give you the short version." Jason began.
"That thing is the original being that the two gods once were, but in truth, it is a demon who killed everyone on the planet." Jason continued shocking Penny.
"I have to kill him soon so that everyone can be brought back due to the power of the Dragon Balls, which are magical orbs on Earth." Jason finished.
"Everyone has died because of him!" Penny gasped.
"That explains why father suddenly disappeared and why you're the first person I've seen in days," Penny said.
"I was afraid everyone had just left leaving me behind, but this is far worse!" Penny added, getting mad.
"Fine, then I shall help you!" Penny declared determination written on her face.
"No, Penny, it's too dangerous even I with my new transformation can barely keep up with him," Jason stated.
"I see, are you sure that there is nothing I can do to help?" Penny asked.
"Maybe, are Atlas's Ki turrets still operational?" Jason questioned.
"Yes, but I cannot operate all of them alone, but my father has been studying the Ki infuser that was attached to Asher Shade's body," Penny responded intriguing Jason.
"He made a prototype that could temporally infuse Ki within a person so we could maybe use it you increase your power," Penny suggested.
"You think that could work?" Jason asked.
"No, but we have to try," Penny answered, causing Jason to sweatdrop.
"Alright, how would this work?" Jason asked, willing to try this plan.
"I will set the device to absorb Ki at a massive rate then use one of the Ki turrets to give you the power," Penny explained.
"How long will it take?" Jason questioned.
"Five minutes and by the fact that you're hiding, I think that means that you're having a hard time, but I think you'll be fine," Penny answered.
"That doesn't inspire confidence, but thanks anyway, I think." Jason thanked.
"I'll go and reengage Zandaka. Let's hope this works." Jason added as he flew off.
As Penny rushed to begin her plan, Jason arrived, stopping in front of Zandaka. The demon just floated there in the air with his arms crossed as if he knew this would happen.
"Are you done hiding?" Zandaka questioned.
"I wouldn't call it hiding. I'd call it strategizing." Jason responded as he attacked the demon.
Throwing a punch at hypersonic speed, it was caught easily by the demon who flipped Jason over his shoulder and sent him into several buildings. Not wanting to cause damage to the city, Jason got back up and flew straight up into the sky as Zandaka followed him.
The sky lit up as their battle continued over in the clouds. Jason fired a Splitting Flare attempting to entrap Zandaka in energy. However, the resourceful demon easily moved through the beams and, without even touching them, took control.
Zandaka completely redirected Jason's attack as they arrived in front of the Saiyan. The Splitting Flare made impact with Jason sending him back through the clouds towards the city below. Jason stopped himself from falling any further and shot back up to reengage the demon prince.
Moving like a bullet, Jason slammed himself into Zandaka's gut then flipped over to kick the demon downwards. Jason then moved under Zandaka to backhand him back upwards, but the demon countered, and their attacks collided.
The Clash created a shockwave that dispersed the clouds under them, leaving clear skies. Moving back, Jason fired a Quasar Flare at Zandaka, who blocked it with one hand. In response, Zandaka used his free hand to punch Jason straight in the face causing him to fall.
Jason crashed into a large park in Atlas rolling over to avoid Zandaka as he fired several large beams at Jason. As Jason and Zandaka continued to fight, Penny was finalizing her plan as her father's prototype finished charging up Ki.
She placed it in the nearby turret and began to aim it at her friend. This proved more difficult than she had anticipated as Jason and Zandaka continued to fight close quarters. If that wasn't bad enough, they were also moving so fast, it was hard for her to even see them.
Thinking quickly, Penny decided the best chance for a successful transfer of energy would be to get Jason's attention. To do so, Penny activated the Atlas alarm, which would ring throughout the city in case of a large wave of Grimm.
When the alarm came to life, it filled the entire city with noise immediately catching Jason's attention. Turning around, the Saiyan spotted his robotic friend at a nearby turret and flew over to receive the energy.
However, Zandaka followed close behind, and as Jason stopped for Penny to fire, Zandaka attacked. The two struggled in place with Jason trying to throw Zandaka away so that Penny could have a clean shot.
This proved harder than he thought as Zandaka, with his superior strength, refused to move. With no other choice, it was now or never as Jason signaled Penny to fire. She reluctantly did so as the beam of energy fired at the two combatants with Jason fighting off Zandaka to receive the energy.
The beam made impact as the area around them shook at the sudden surge of energy. Penny smiled at her plan's success. However, it soon disappeared when the beam dissipated. Instead of Jason, it was Zandaka who had received the energy glowing with a dark aura.
Zandaka smiled as he looked at himself. The beam had restored him back to his full power. Sweat dripped down Jason's shaking brow as he sensed the incredible energy coming from Zandaka. The plan had backfired spectacularly, making his situation much worse, and it seemed that all hope was lost.
"So that was your plan…clever." Zandaka smiled as he appeared in front of Jason, gripping the Saiyans neck.
"But now that I am fully restored, our little game is over." Zandaka declared as he charged up an attack.
"Balance," Zandaka spoke as Jason was engulfed in a beam of light and dark energy.
As this happened, Penny prepared to try again with her plan charging up more Ki in her father's prototype. This time seeing as Zandaka had increased in power, Penny decided that Jason would need double the charge to stand a chance.
Back with the Saiyan warrior, he was sent into a large crater created by the attack now unconscious. As Zandaka descended to finish off Jason, the Saiyan reverted back into his base form. Before Zandaka could finish off Jason, he was shot by a green beam that hit his back.
The demon quickly turned around and saw Penny flying behind him with her swords drawn. She had connected to the turret remotely so that she did not have to physically be there to fire it. Since she was free to move, she decided to come and help Jason and buy time for the turret to fire once more.
"This is surprising to my knowledge all intelligent life was wiped out on this world." Zandaka murmured as he floated up towards Penny.
"I'm not a living being, but the boy down there is one of many of my friends who treat me as if I was so I will not let you hurt him!" Penny declared.
"Oh is that so well let's see how you do against me in comparison to the Saiyan," Zandaka replied as he charged at Penny.
Penny then began to fly away, leading Zandaka away from Jason. She was maxing out the output in her leg jets just to keep in front of him. Knowing that Zandaka was just testing her at the moment, Penny had to make sure that he didn't have a reason to just destroy her now.
"Are you going to run forever?" Zandaka questioned as he appeared in front of Penny.
"No!" Penny shouted as she fired several small beams at Zandaka, who took the attack remaining unfazed.
Seeing that her attack didn't work, Penny flew away once more, keeping her blades out to charge a larger attack. Zandaka wasted no time in chasing her down this time, blocking her every path, preventing her from running any further.
In response, Penny fired what she had at the demon, but once again, her attack was too weak. The demon merely smirked at her attempt to harm him getting closer to her. Once he got close, he got behind her and tore out her blades.
"Let's see what you can do without these." Zandaka smiled as he kicked Penny away.
Without her blades, Penny would have to rely on her strength, and that alone would not be enough against the demon. Penny flew off with Zandaka in hot pursuit, not letting Penny out of his sight. Whenever Penny came across a vehicle, she would throw it at the demon to slow him down a little.
Seeing that Penny only planned to stall him, Zandaka planned to end it as he sped up. As Zandaka continued to close in, Penny maxed out her jets to stay ahead, but soon they overheated and shut off. Penny fell to the ground, tumbling onto the ground as Zandaka landed next to her.
"Disappointing." Zandaka sighed as he towered over Penny.
"Though I didn't expect much, I at least thought I found someone who wouldn't just run. Guess I was wrong." Zandaka said.
Penny attempted to punch Zandaka, but the demon caught her fist and tore off her left arm. Since Penny could not feel physical pain, it did not hurt, but it did make her begin to panic. Soon Zandaka crushed her right leg before picking her up as he grabbed her head.
"How does it feel knowing that all your efforts were in vain?" Zandaka questioned as he began to crush Penny's head with part of her skin breaking off to reveal the metal below.
"It…It wasn't in vain," Penny replied as her bow began to blink.
Suddenly the laser that was now double-charged with Ki fired, making impact where Jason was. Jason, who had been unconscious until that point, awoke as his body swelled with power. His body to adjust to the power by transforming immediately into Super Saiyan Primal.
When he transformed into the form, his power grew even further as the surrounding area was covered in a giant orange ball of energy. Jason's eyes turned red as he roared from the influx of power. Soon the ball of energy disappeared as Jason was back at one hundred percent.
No, that was incorrect. He was even better. He felt that for the time, he had obtained the full potential of Super Saiyan Primal. Looking over, Jason saw Zandaka holding onto Penny not far from where he was.
In a matter of seconds, Jason moved to their location, ripping Penny from Zandaka's grip and kicking the demon away. Setting Penny down, he made sure that she was okay before turning to face Zandaka as he returned.
"Thank you, Penny, I'm going to finish this now." Jason thanked as he grabbed onto Zandaka's head and flew off.
Once he was far enough from Atlas, Jason released Zandaka, causing him to crash into the ground. Zandaka shot out from the ground to attack Jason, but the Saiyan grabbed his hand and threw him away.
"The real fight starts here, so get ready!" Jason declared as he charged up with orange energy and red lightning surrounding him.
"Now this is interesting I've never had any kind of being in this realm able to challenge my power!" Zandaka shouted.
"Since I am back to my full power, I shall show you the strength of the Prince of Demons!" Zandaka yelled.
"That sounds like something Vegeta would say if demon was replaced with Saiyan." Jason thought as the two charged at one another.
They collided, creating a large shockwave their energy shooting off as they fought. Jason kneed Zandaka in the chin then followed it up by hammering him down towards the ground. He attempted to attack Zandaka once more, but Zandaka was ready.
Grabbing onto Jason's fist, he pulled the Saiyan closer and elbowed him in the head. In response, Jason spun around and wrapped his tail around Zandaka's arm, keeping it closed. Now with his arm pinned, Jason spun around once more he kneed Zandaka in the head.
With Jason now at the pinnacle of his form's power, Jason was able to fight Zandaka on equal terms. Though at the moment it seemed that the two fighters were equal in power, but as the battle continues, anything could change.
Other World Grand Kai's Planet…
"Excellent Jason is able to fight Zandaka on equal terms. There is still hope that he can win!" King Kai exclaimed.
"I wouldn't say that North Kai for all we know this is all a temporary power-up, and the boy will be at the demon's mercy once more." South Kai theorized.
"Not if Jason finishes this fight soon." King Kai replied as they watched the battle.
Remnant…
A sound reminiscent of thunder could be heard all across the planet as Jason and Zandaka fought. The powers of Saiyan and demon clashed, shattering anything it made contact with. Jason and Zandaka clashed several times, moving all across Remnant at astonishing speeds.
The two then cross countered, hitting one another in the face before Jason opened his hand to fire a Buster Flare point-blank. Zandaka was pushed back from the attack, but then he spun around to kick Jason in the head, sending him into a nearby forest.
Quickly following, Zandaka landed where he saw Jason go but could not find the Saiyan warrior. That is until Jason flew at high speeds from deep within the forest and blindsided Zandaka. Jason continued his assault flying back into the forest and attacking Zandaka by surprise once more.
Since the demon prince was unable to sense energy, he was unable to track where Jason was in the forest. This continued for a while until Zandaka shot straight up into the air then eviscerated the forest below.
Jason managed to escape the blast before it hit and got behind Zandaka, hammering him towards the ground. Once Zandaka hit the ground, Jason unleashed an incredible barrage of Ki at the demon, creating a large crater where he was.
When he was finished, he focused on sensing Zandaka's energy to make sure the demon was truly dead. He got his answer when he sensed the demon right behind him, no doubt trying to take him by surprise.
The Saiyan Warrior flipped over and countered Zandaka's beam attack with his own. However, due to how close the two attacks where it exploded in their faces sending both fighters away. When Jason recovered, he flew after Zandaka, but the demon was ready for him.
As Jason attacked, Zandaka dodged grabbed onto Jason's head. The demon proceeded to batter Jason with attacks, not letting up for an instant. When Jason blocked his next attack, Zandaka head-butted the Saiyan then blasted him away.
Spitting out blood Jason charged back into the fray flying towards Zandaka before disappearing. He reappeared behind the demon and kicking him in the back. Jason used his speed to throw Zandaka off and attack him by surprise.
This did not last long however, for Zandaka adapted quickly and saw the pattern in Jason's attacks. Once he had figured it out, he moved out of the way of Jason's next attack then proceeded to grab Jason's arm.
Zandaka proceeded to knee Jason in the stomach then elbow him in the back. The demon prince assaulted Jason with a barrage of attacks until Jason flew away. As Jason flew away, Zandaka followed close behind intent on not letting Jason do anything like he did in Atlas.
Jason then came to a full stop surprising Zandaka as he turned around and fired a Quasar flare inflicting significant damage to the demon. The fact that Jason could harm him as such enraged Zandaka, causing him to lash out with energy flying everywhere.
The sudden release of energy was so erratic that Jason had a hard time dodging the attack. When it stopped, Zandaka had disappeared, having moved behind Jason. The enraged demon kicked Jason's left arm into him, shattering it instantly.
Reeling from the pain, Jason flew back and away from Zandaka. The demon charged dark energy in his right hand and light in his left as he spun around, flying towards Jason. Light and dark energy fused in a twister as Zandaka drilled into Jason's chest, sending him into the ground.
Jason struggled to get up as he inspected the damage to his body. His left arm was broken and unable to move, and he had a large bruise on his chest. Both were going to give Jason a hard time in the rest of the fight, but he would push through and win.
"Still though what I wouldn't give for Jaune to be here and heal me up or have one of those Senzu Beans Goku gave me." Jason thought as he jumped away to dodge an attack by Zandaka.
"You can't run forever, Jason anyone who dares threaten my existence must perish!" Zandaka shouted as his power grew.
The sky suddenly turned dark as Zandaka's body glowed as if he was turning into a star. Giant fissures formed as the ground shook in reaction to Zandaka's power. It had seemed that the demon was releasing everything at once and was doing something to the planet.
"Feast your eyes, Saiyan, as I do this, I am breaking this planet apart! Overflowing with light and dark energy, it will reflect my home back in the demon realm where beings such as you and planets such as this world cannot survive!" Zandaka declared.
"This is the end soon, nothing and nobody except me will occupy this region of space!" Zandaka shouted.
"And here I was under the impression that you wanted to create the perfect human race?!" Jason replied.
"That was the ambition of the two halves of my soul." Zandaka began.
"I never cared for such things that was a foolish notion my two halves sought after being imperfect beings themselves. They sought to create a perfect race because separate they weren't perfect nor whole. They just didn't wish to erase themselves to become...well me." Zandaka finished.
"All this because of that!? Then what was the point?" Jason shouted.
"It doesn't matter because now that I'm whole again and in possession of the Kai's relics, I can use them to become all-powerful!" Zandaka replied as he charged at Jason.
The unexpected attack took Jason by surprise as Zandaka slammed his fist into Jason's gut. Gritting his teeth, Jason grabbed onto Zandaka's arm and kneed the demon in his gut. He then turned around and wrapped his tail around Zandaka's leg, which burned from the energy.
Pushing past the pain, he dragged the demon away, slamming him into several rocks, trees, and other objects on the way. When Jason was finished, he threw Zandaka away, firing a Quasar flare at the demon.
Zandaka used the light energy surrounding him as a shield strengthening the area where Jason's attack would make contact. The beam split apart and dispersed away from Zandaka, who fired beams of light back at the Saiyan warrior.
Jason flew away to avoid the attack, but wherever he went, the attack followed. Eventually, the attack caught up and hit Jason exploding on impact, causing Jason to fall to the ground. Slowly he picked himself back up, then turned to look back at Zandaka.
Breathing heavily, Jason tried to think of a way to finish this battle now, for he could feel his power slowly going down. There was no way that would one hundred percent guarantee victory, so Jason could only rely on an all or nothing gambit.
"All my power in one last attack," Jason muttered as he dodged more beams.
Flying around, Jason began to dodge each, and every attack Zandaka threw at him. While he did this, he concentrated all of his energy and strength into his right fist. Once done, Jason flew a good distance back from Zandaka so that he could initiate his all or nothing attack.
"What's this, are you too scared to get close to me?" Zandaka questioned.
"Hardly, I'm about to come at you faster than you can handle!" Jason responded.
"This is the end, Zandaka. I'm putting an end to you and making you pay for what you did to Remnant and the universe!" Jason declared as he launched full speed towards Zandaka.
Though the demon fired several beams to shoot Jason down, the Saiyan managed to dodge each one. All of his senses were in overdrive as his will to win and survive peaked, and his determination to win was overwhelming.
Jason's fist began to glow golden in color, and soon his body was engulfed in the same energy. He kept his speed at max as he flew towards Zandaka, never wavering. The power inside his fist grew immensely as he got closer, and Zandaka took notice.
"This is your plan? Such a foolish move will be your undoing!" Zandaka declared as he fired a large beam at Jason.
The attack was ineffective as Jason dodged fly to its left with his right hand, splitting the attack in two as he flew past it. In the end, Jason managed to use Zandaka's attack to his advantage as he absorbed some of its power.
"Eat this! DRAGON…" Jason began as he pulled his fist back.
"FIST!" Jason screamed as his fist made contact with a bewildered Zandaka, all the energy stored in it disappearing.
That is until a giant golden dragon shot out from Zandaka's back as the demon screamed in pain. The dragon made of pure energy turned around and wrapped itself around Zandaka's body, pinning the demon.
Other World Grand Kai's Planet…
"AMAZING!" King Kai shouted as he watched the battle. The other Kais were stunned around him at the sight of Jason's attack.
"His Ki was so strong and concentrated that the sheer power of him punching at full speed solidified it into a physical form!" King Kai exclaimed.
"Such an attack may just finish this fight!" King Kai cried.
Other World Heaven…
"Holy shit!" Evan gasped.
"That attack is similar to the Dragon Arrow!" Damian pointed out.
"No, this attack is way better," Alex argued.
"Jason is so cool I wish I can do that kind of stuff with my scythe!" Ruby exclaimed as they watched the fight.
Remnant…
"NO, WHAT IS THIS?!" Zandaka questioned as his body was continuously crushed by Jason's Dragon Fist.
"This is how it ends! Now burn in hell where you belong, monster!" Jason responded.
Soon the dragon stopped coiling up Zandaka and exploded in a violent fury tearing the demon apart. With Zandaka dead, the sky returned to normal, and Remnant stopped shaking. The fissures receding back to normal.
Breathing heavily with a smile on his face, Jason powered down back into his base form now that the battle was won. Jason fell from the sky and made impact with the ground resting there exhausted from the fight.
"King Kai? King Kai, are you there?" Jason asked.
"Yes, I'm here, Jason." King Kai answered.
"I won. It's finally over, right?" Jason questioned.
"That's right. You did great though that last move was risky. You won!" King Kai revealed.
"Now, then it's finally time to bring the people of Remnant back to life!" King Kai exclaimed.
Earth Kami's Lookout…
"Dende, it's time to make the second wish! Do it now!" King Kai ordered.
"With pleasure King Kai," Dende replied as he turned to Shenron.
"Shenron, please revive all those who were killed by the two haves of Zandaka!" Dende wished.
"About time! Your wish is granted!" Shenron declared with his eyes flashing red.
"Farewell," Shenron said as he disappeared, and the Dragon Balls scattered returning Earth's sky to normal.
"The kid did good I kinda wish I could see the fight." Piccolo smiled as he looked up into the sky.
"Yes, I think it was a good one." Dende agreed.
Other World Heaven…
The people of Remnant slowly began to fade and return to their planet as Shenron revived them. With the main group, they were saying their final goodbyes. Ruby and her mother had a tearful goodbye as Ruby wished she could come with.
Yang had the same with Summer and Evan though it was a bit awkward with her mother. Qrow, however, gave his sister a hug for one last goodbye before they parted forever with Raven returning it.
Neo and Scarlet, too, shared a hug goodbye, having gotten remarkably close in their short time together. She also waved goodbye to Evan, who gave her some clothes to give Jason since his were torn from his transformation.
"I guess this is really it, huh we won't see each other again," Ruby said.
"Don't say that you never know what the future can hold, who knows maybe one day you will see us, but hopefully not because you died," Goku assured.
"He's right, and even though you can't see us, we'll always be with you." Summer agreed, comforting her daughter. Soon they disappeared as they returned to the world of the living leaving Other World.
"I'm going to miss them, but it was good seeing them again." Evan smiled.
"Like I said, who knows you might see them sooner than you think," Goku said as he and Evan returned to Grand Kai's Planet.
Remnant…
Everyone reappeared right where they were when the two halves of Zandaka had killed them. Looking around, the area was slightly damaged but seemed the same. It looked as if Zandaka's attempted destruction of the planet had not spread too far from the epicenter, thankfully sparing the world from damage.
"Wow, it's weird thinking that we were dead just a second ago!" Nora said.
"Yeah, it's kinda surreal." Blake agreed as she looked over her head to see if she still had a halo.
"I still don't feel the maiden powers. I guess they're gone forever." Yang pointed out.
"Maybe or maybe they'll find a new host, or it will take some time to return to us," Amber suggested.
Wiping away some leftover tears, they left to go return to go find Jason or for others return the order to the confused citizens. It had taken them a couple of hours, but thankfully Elias had found the Saiyan and brought him back to the others.
"Hey, guys, you're looking great!" Jason smiled as he saw his friends alive and well.
As Elias set him down, Jaune gave him a quick heal to restore him some. Once Jaune was done, Jason was tackled by Neo, who was crying excessively. Jason patted her head to calm her down as she refused to let go.
"Never scare me like that again." Neo insisted.
"I was afraid that I would never see you again." Neo cried as she looked into Jason's eyes.
"Sorry about that Neo." Jason apologized as he hugged her back.
"You don't have to worry. I don't plan on leaving you ever again. I'll stay with you forever." Jason assured, causing Neo to blush deeply.
"Did someone just propose!?" Yang teased, making Jason go wide-eyed.
"Wait, did I?!" Jason asked in a panic.
"I didn't know you were so bold, Jason," Pyrrha commented.
"I mean, it was only a matter of time." Blake pointed out.
"Married! I mean, I guess but…" Jason stammered, embarrassed. While he would love being married to Neo, he just didn't think he was ready.
"I mean, if you want to get married, I wouldn't mind. It's just I don't know if I'm ready." Jason said.
"We can wait. But you want to get married, right?" Neo asked, glaring at Jason.
"Of course, I love you," Jason answered, rubbing the back of his head.
"Guess your mom was right." Neo smiled, surprising Jason.
"Wait, you met my mom!" Jason gasped as Neo ignored his questions.
Happy with his answer, Neo rested her head on Jason's chest as everyone returned to civilization. Penny, who had been severely damaged, had been repaired by her father before joining her friends in celebration of Jason's victory.
In Other World, on Grand Kai's Planet, a similar celebration was being held as King Kai wept with joy. Everyone partied as people drank and fought, and those like Goku ate their fill in celebration of Zandaka's defeat. The relics had been recovered and returned to the Supreme Kai's Planet, where they are purified and begin to bring back life to the universe.
Afterward, life went back to normal on Remnant as six months past, and the event was forgotten by the masses. Jason and Neo had begun to plan for their wedding with Jason getting a surprise that Evan was able to come back for one day to be his best man.
Everything seemed perfect, however unknown to everyone due to Zandaka's absence deep in space, a fissure opened up to the demon realm. On the other side of the fissure, several creatures awaited to come into the universe.
Jason was victorious, and now the demon Zandaka is dead. However, the portal that the demon prince had used to first enter this universe has reopened! Who awaits entrance into the universe, and what do they plan for it? Find out Next Time!
Author's Note:
Hey, guys hope you enjoyed the chapter and the "Final Battle" between Jason and Zandaka. Before I say anything, let me say that no, this fic is not over. In fact, it is far from it! Sorry if I made it sound like it was over when I say Final Battle I mean the Final Battle of the present arc we are in.
Now moving on, I am finally in my new house loving it, and now that I have internet, I can upload once more! Thankfully it didn't take a whole month to get this chapter out, and I'm quite satisfied with how it came out.
Sure it's not as long as other arc finals, but that's because most have several fights, so the focus isn't just on one. I had to work hard to make this fight not repetitive, and hopefully, I did that, but even so.
Now I have not fully planned out the next arc quite yet, but at the moment, I am calling it The World Eater Arc. Hopefully, I can get the planning done soon and start writing, which I don't think will be a problem.
Either way, something else I would like to say is that I am writing a new story, which is another RWBY crossover. The reason I have so many is because I see a lot of potential with crossing over with the RWBY universe that others aren't taking, so I think why not, right?
So anyway, my new story is a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure X RWBY crossover called Star Brand Destiny. I have two chapters uploaded as of this chapter, so check it out if you like my writing.
Another announcement is that I finally finished the first chapter of the Remnant's Saiyan What-If series, so expect that to come soon! Other than that, I don't have much to say see you guys next chapter!
