SON GOHAN VS SEVEN-THREE
TWO MONTHS UNTIL THE INVASION
Gohan, without hesitation, charged into battle, punching OG73-i right in the stomach before throwing him toward the ground.
OG73-i managed to regain his footing and began to throw rapid-fire energy blasts. Gohan dodged each blast but realized OG73-i was setting up a Hellzone Grenade. The blasts came all crashing together in a massive explosion
Piccolo: GOHAN!
Jaco: OVER THERE!
Gohan however, was unphased, standing right behind OG73-i with his fingers to the android's back. With a one-inch punch, Gohan send OG73-i crashing into a small hill
Shimorekka: SEVEN-THREE!
Piccolo jumped down next to Gohan
Piccolo: Well done, Gohan!
Gohan: I know your moves better than just about anyone else, Piccolo
Piccolo: And I've got mixed feelings about you beating a copy of me that easily.
Piccolo pointed his hand toward Gohan
Piccolo: CLOTHES BEAM!
Suddenly, Gohan's clothes were replaced with a replica of Piccolo's own gi
Piccolo: NOW GET OUT THERE AND END THIS!
Gohan: Right-
Suddenly, OG73-i used Piccolo's gigantification ability, leaving him towering over both Gohan and Piccolo. OG73-i swung down slowly, his fist crashing into the ground as both Gohan and Piccolo dodged.
Gohan: I'm pretty familiar with that one too!
Gohan flew past another punch from OG73-i and kicked him right in the chin
Krillin: Th-the heck?!
Krillin and Yunba looked over to see OG73-i getting beaten by Gohan. Gohan flew behind OG73-i and blasted out his knees before flying between the giant's legs and kicking him in the chin again, causing OG73-i to crash to the ground
Yunba: Ugh!
Yunba flew off
Shimorekka: Hey!! Seven-Three! Don't quit on me now!
Yunba: What's going on, Shimorekka?!
Shimorekka: Guess our data for this planet was SUPER outdated. And THAT guy's the one we shoulda had our man copy.
OG73-i slowly stood up
Shimorekka: Listen, Seven-Three. Whatever it takes, get your hands around that guy's neck!
OG73-i: Understood.
OG73-i reached for Gohan, but Gohan dodged both of his arms, jumping back and forth, throwing the android for a loop.
Krillin: Piccolo! Gohan showed up, huh?
Piccolo: Yeah. Definitely, someone we can count on. Same as always.
Gohan: Ka... Me...
Gohan dodged past every attack thrown his way
Gohan: Ha... Me...
Suddenly though, OG73-i's powers ran out, and he shrunk down to his normal size
Jaco: THE ABILITY WORE OFF! HE'S OUTTA TIME! FIRE IT OFF ANYWAY, SON GOHAN!! NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!
Gohan: HA!!!
The blast came barreling toward OG73-i
Shimorekka: SEVEN-THREE, USE WHAT YOU'VE GOT IN STOCK!
Suddenly, OG73-i activated Moro's powers and ate up the Kamehameha
Krillin: W-where's the boom?!
Piccolo: H-he ate it..
Krillin: Huh?!
Jaco: LOOK! ON SEVEN-THREE'S FOREHEAD! HE HAD MORO'S POWERS IN STOCK!
Gohan: What's that mean..?
Jaco: HE CAN SWITCH TO OTHER COPIED ABILITIES, STORING UP TO THREE IDENTITIES AT A TIME!
Krillin: What now?!
Jaco: He's gonna absorb energy! Take him down before he can!!
Krillin, Jaco, and Piccolo charged at OG73-i, but he used Moro's abilities, causing a massive energy blast to erupt from the ground. Gohan tried to sneak attack OG73-i but was also met with a blast.
Krillin: What's all that about?!
Piccolo: We can't get close!
On a cliff overlooking the fight, Shimorekka was on the phone with Moro and Saganbo
Yunba: Hmph... Close one, huh? Never thought we'd need our secret weapon so soon.
Shimorekka: So y'see, Captain, we had to resort to that. Sorry.
-
Saganbo: Is that so? Finish up there quickly and get back here!
Moro: ...What? Have they already made use of my copied abilities?
Saganbo: Sorry, it was supposed to be a last resort.
Moro: Copying... a useful power. But I don't like my neck getting touched all the time. I don't want him employing it for just anything.
Saganbo: Apologies, Lord Moro.
Moro: I assume it's being put to good use?
Saganbo: We can check it out from here, actually! Shimorekka, switch to monitor mode!
Shimorekka: You got it!
Saganbo turned to a Metal-Man, physically resembling Universe Six's Auta Magetta
Saganbo: Project the live feed here, Quoitur
Quoitur: Sure.
The feed popped up in a dome-like display. Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, and Jaco all were being drained of their energy by OG73-i
Gohan: F-feeling drained...
Piccolo: Th-this is that energy absorption!
Jaco: Dang.. How'd it come to this?
Shimorekka: Don't absorb the planet's energy! That's on Lord Moro's menu!
OG73-i: I know. I am only targeting these four.
Moro: Does this have a time limit as well?
Saganbo: Yes. Which is why they gotta end it quickly.
Moro: Earth..? Ten million years ago it was a planet of mere monkes.
Saganbo: They've evolved quite a bit since then...
Yunba and Shimorekka were quick to engage the four warriors, all of which were unable to defend themselves.
Shimroekka: Too bad for you, being strong doesn't always net you the win!
Yunba began to pound Gohan into the ground
Krillin: G-GOHAN!!
Shimorekka began to throw rapid-fire punches, knocking Piccolo down
Piccolo: Don't get too cocky... Even if we die today... Goku... Vegeta... Y/N... Caulifla... they will make sure you go down!
Shimorekka: Who?
OG73-i: The saiyans who were on Namek
Shimorekka: Oh... Them... What about them?
Krillin: Right now... They're training to beat you punks! You won't get your way, you know!
Shimorekka: Training, you say?
-
Saganbo: Did you hear that, Lord Moro?! Goku, Vegeta, Y/N, and Caulifla. Those were the four Galactic Patrol members on Namek. If we let them run free, it could come back to bite us! Why not just go and eat Earth first?! Pull everyone from the planet-
Moro: Wait. Those four are supposedly training.
Saganbo: Right. I thought they just turned tail for good back then... But they've still got some fight left in them.
Moro: Which means... They will deliver me far greater energy if I only wait a spell. For now... tell those three to retreat from Earth. Once those four return with more energy, I shall consume them and their precious Earth. The Galactic Patrol no longer poses a threat, so we need not remain hidden from them
Saganbo: You got it!
-
Shimorekka: Yunba, Seven-Three! Captain's ordering us to say bye-bye to this rock and get back to the main force!
OG73-i instantly stopped draining energy.
Yunba: Huh? Why?
Shimorekka: We're gonna do this job later after those Saiyans show up.
OG73-i: Son Goku, Son Y/N, Son Caulifla, and Vegeta.
Shimorekka: Yeah, those four!
Yunba: Boring.
Shimorekka: You people got off easy!
Krillin: But why..? What's going on?!
Shimorekka: Lord Moro's gonna come gobble up those Saiyans himself.
Piccolo: So the big boss is coming here?
Shimorekka: Yep. Then you fools and this planet are done for! Better tell your Saiyan pals to get back here, 'kay? We'll be back in Galactic Cycle 8! Later!
OG73-i opened and portal and all three jumped through.
Krillin: We're safe for now... I think.
Everyone ran to Gohan, who was beaten to a pulp
Gohan: I'm sorry. I let them get away...
Krillin: Don't sweat it! We would've been in real trouble without you here!
Piccolo: So when are they gonna return Jaco
Jaco: Two months.
Suddenly, Bulma's ship arrived
Bulma: Guys!! You're alive!
Krillin: Bulma!
-
Merus: Understood. We will travel to Earth in two months' time!
Merus returned to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and relayed the news.
Goku: Huh?! Moro's pals showed up on Earth?!
Merus: It seems all is well, though. Thank goodness Agent Jaco was there for them
Goku: Gotcha, but they said bad guys are coming back?
Merus: Yes.
Goku: Two months... That's more time than we thought, huh?
Merus: It gives us Six Months in here. I feel sorry for the planet that will be sacrificed in the meantime, but assuring Moro's capture when the time comes is a top priority!
Goku: That means our training has gotta pay off or else!
Merus and Goku turned to see Super Saiyan Blue Y/N and Caulifla, both of them sparring, sparks forming around Caulifla.
Y/N: COME ON! I KNOW YOU'VE GOT THIS! JUST THE RIGHT PUSH SHOULD DO IT!
Caulifla swung at Y/N, but Y/N slid under Caulifla, kicking her high in the air. Y/N appeared above and threw her back down. Caulifla though managed to catch herself
Y/N: I AM PUTTING ALMOST EVERY OUNCE OF GODLY KI I CAN INTO THIS BLAST! IF THIS DOESN'T UNLOCK SOMETHING WITHIN YOU, YOU WILL MOST CERTAINLY, PROBABLY, DEFINITELY DIE!
Caulifla: JUST THROW THE DAMN THING ALREADY!
Y/N nodded his head, powering up to Super Saiyan Blue and charging up a Final Spirit Cannon infused with God-Ki
Y/N: FINAL SPIRIT CANNON!
Y/N launched the god-ki-filled blast right at Caulifla. Caulifla was quick to hold out her hands, pushing them back.
Y/N: WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THIS TRAINING ISN'T FOR NOTHING! I SAW THE SIGNS WHEN WE FIRST BEGAN TRAINING, NOW UNLEASH YOUR POWER, CAULIFLA!
With a powerful scream, the Final Spirit Cannon exploded in a ball of fire. Goku looked on with a smile as the smoke faded, Caulifla stood completely unphased, a fiery aura surrounding her body, her eyes and hair bright red. She'd done it, with help from Y/N and Merus, she'd become a Super Saiyan God
(ART/EDIT BY SSJROSE890 ON DEVIANTART)
Y/N: YES! YOU DID IT!
Caulifla was panting with a smile on her face
Caulifla: W-whoa! So this is Super Saiyan God?! This is insane! I feel lighter than air!
Y/N: And to think I thought you couldn't get any skinnier.
Caulifla: Oh, piss off. *laughs*
Merus: Impressive. Based on what Goku and Y/N spoke about this transformation, I would've guessed it would take you longer to achieve such a powerful form
Y/N: It's like when she became a Super Saiyan. Perhaps Universe 6 Saiyans have more potential than us?
Goku: I'd say! Awesome job, Caulifla!
Y/N: Now, Merus. I'd say it's time to resume OUR training
Caulifla: What, Y/N? Don't want to taste this Super Saiyan God power?
Y/N: We're gonna be in here two months, I can wait a bit longer before you kick my ass even more. *laughs*
Caulifla powered down and stepped aside as Merus and I charged at each other
-
At the Palace of Grand Zeno, Whis watched the training through his staff.
Grand Priest: So very sorry to make you wait. Now, how can I help you, Whis?
Whis bowed
Whis: Apologies for the sudden request. Grand Priest. I presume you are aware that our universe is once again in discord?
Grand Priest: It seems that way. Universe 7 is certainly a restless one
Whis: I am deeply ashamed of it.
Grand Priest: Well, what business did you have with me? I don't suppose you intend to ask for your universe to be saved.
Whis: I would never. We Angels must maintain neutrality, siding with neither good nor evil.
Grand Priest: Just so. Then what would you ask of me?
Whis: There is something I wish to confirm concerning our Angel Laws
Grand Priest: The matter of Merus, I suppose?
Whis: You are aware, then?
