Chapter 297 - Tracking Down Kron - Part Two.

(Vegeta-POV)

 

"You heard the gentleman, let's go ahead and end this fool. Best we get it done quickly. I'd rather not waste anymore time on this creature." Vegeta heard Dabura say, his tone conveying his annoyance… and struggle in holding Hirudegarn at bay without allowing it to move. The Supreme Kai quickly flew off, landing with the others in that glass cube, Kibito staying with them to assist them.

 

"Hey Kibito! You can bugger off now, you'll just slow us down here, being a weakling compared to us here. Go stand by your masters side and keep out of the way." Vegeta sneered, Kibito matching his gaze with a glare, though he nodded and went to leave. Vegeta, smirking went upwards and hovered with Dabura and Mira following, Hirudegarn knocked the gigantic sized Piccolo off of him, while Kakarot flickered over towards Vegeta.

 

Vegeta held up a hand as Kakarot begun to speak, cutting him off, for he was dangling yet again that Potara earring, as if they would need that to win against this creature.

 

"-I will not fuse with you this time you. I alone shall finish off this creature, I've gotten that much powerful to be capable of this and with that mask boosting it's power, while making it as intelligent as Nappa is, I will need no help nor those ridiculous Potara earrings to transform!" Dabura replied quickly, smirking where Vegeta would have thought he'd take offense.

 

"Go ahead Saiyan King, I and Mira here only helped so that we have the opportunity to fight Kron. Show us how powerful you've gotten, but don't take too long. We've got a real fight on our hands soon enough. Go ahead, waste as much of your energy and leave the fight with Kron to us." Vegeta cackled in turn, pointing though it was Piccolo who replied, now shrunken down during their talking, Hirudegarn righting himself into standing in place, watching through the mask, gathering power Vegeta guessed with the way the energy begun swirling around him.

 

"Go ahead Vegeta, move it! We've a schedule to keep, continue talking and will leave you behind to get back to Earth while the rest of us go on-" Vegeta's hands tensed into fists, his energy gathering now, hearing the Namekian out. Vegeta now facing the giant of a creature.

 

"Whatever, fool. Stand back!" he begun powering up, his energy already at a state to be used but he called on more power, making sure that he put his all in this. No need to make a mockery of himself by holding back on this beast, it was more impressive a fighter than Majin Buu, though less dangerous techniques that needed to be avoided, it had the greatest defensive ability. Said ability being locked behind that mask though, Vegeta was assured he would finish it fast and be in time to journey with the others.

 

'...Kron, just you wait bastard. You're king shall show you your place soon enough!' Vegeta sneered, then flickering, reappearing into a position to layer the monster Hirudegarn with an onslaught of melee combo's, then kicking off from it and gaining some room.

 

His hands then snapped together as he cupped a whole lot of energy, discharging bolts ran up and down his hands and arms, his grunting made way for a smirk, Vegeta's Ki continued to groan on in a gathering sort of humming, getting louder the longer he concentrated on focusing this energy. Before long, as Hirudegarn stepped closer to make its counter attacks did Vegeta kick it into high gear, Ki erratically swirling to form his ultimate blast here and now, though he would not leave nothing to chance, he was going to use all his energy, whatever happened to the moon was no concern for him.

 

"...Haaaaaaaaaa, come creature, come to Vegeta. That is right you fool, step ever closer to your doom." each step it took, it shook the very moon, though Vegeta could only grin in triumph, seeing that the majority of his energy would be focused into this one attack, made by him to eradicate the creature in front of him. He will eat a Senzu bean after of course, Kron's woman would have a whole lot of them on them, naturally Vegeta would help himself to whatever he needed.

 

"Alright then! Take this you big target, 'Final Shine Attack' haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" the massive condensed energy then spread out, taking on a massive wave of green, filled with random discharges of golden bolts of energy, the attack quickly washed over Hirudegarn with Vegeta continuing to pour out more energy into the blast. Overwhelmed even by his own attack, Vegeta was glad he'd taken to landing before he launched this blast, though his grip on the moon was shaky at best, with his feet not quite able to get a good grip on the ground.

 

Obscured from everyone else, even Hirudegarn, Vegeta's own attack was quickly racing to blind Vegeta so he kept his gaze closed, focusing on the beast and feeling with satisfaction, that it appeared to be dying even now. A loud crack, his ultimate blast detonated, Vegeta's shaky stance where he stood was ended by the massive force projected from the blast, he rose upwards and lost momentum from his own attack, so he cut off empowering the blast further and rode the colossal force out from the detonation area.

 

Landing, Vegeta kept one eye open now, seemingly watching the area of the explosion with a critical eye, not going to let such a giant monster of a nuisance to get the drop on him should it survive this overwhelming attack… better to be ready, not to make himself look like a fool with which even his most empowered attack to date should fail to finish off the thing.

 

"... Come on now, show yourself." Vegeta said aloud, not too sure if his attack had gotten it, the explosion now dying down, the moon below Vegeta cracked harshly, with some larger pieces beginning to levitate upwards slightly. The rocky terrain begun to crash down not too long after, far away from their points of origin, Vegeta taking his right hand to block out the dust and rock from falling in his eyes, watching the cloud of smoke beginning to fade from the point of impact, a small grin appearing upon his face.

 

"Haha…. yeah, I thought so. Without that defensive ability, Hirudegarn was nothing but a pushover. Done. I'll eat a couple of the Senzu beans." he rose into the air, smirk fading slightly, he was still proud of defeating that strong creature, though it was less impressive compared to this next fight. The fight he's waited for, for too long. Not way out for Kron though, he would fight them all and only those worthy shall be capable of defeating such a bastard… of a Saiyan warrior, the likes of which-

 

"-Hurry along now Vegeta, you were just hovering there. I'd like to get going so that we might track down Kron at last. I have other duties besides, to attend to my lord after all and should no be kept away from him for much longer." Lord Whis chastised with a grin, annoyingly to gain Vegeta's ire… though he made sure not to show it, the guy was as strong or stronger than Lord Beerus and that sort of guy was hard to come by. Vegeta dared not anger Whis and so, he landed with a flicker over, his arms now folded while his gaze turned to the woman, Blake.

 

"Blake… give me two of those Senzu beans. I've gained an appetite." his demand… though a little more politer than he would have done otherwise but she nodded unaffected by his delivery of command. Wordlessly replying not by words but by quickly taking out a bag of Senzu beans and removing two for him, then casually throwing them over to him. He caught both with nought any effort, one handed wit his right hand and then ate with glee.

 

(Weiss Schnee-POV)

 

Watching Blake give two of the Senzu beans up, she shrugged at least, in a mental way for they had too much of them on them, with the three bags they brought, they would have more than enough for this next step. Blake and her would have preferred to join the next battle, but she and her were not in that sort of shape these days and they were too weak compared to those here for the coming bout. But there need not be a fight should the mask be removed during the battle, so she and Blake decided to come as to act as distractions, to hopefully emit a response from their brainwashed husband, enough for the others to exploit and save him.

 

'Most of these guys have the motive of fighting him though, so they might consider leaving the mask on for a time. Which is why, Blake, Pyrrha and Zangya were there. Pyrrha and Zangya would also be capable of fighting for they, unlike I and Blake trained the hardest out of all of Kron's wives.' she detested the word wives, though in the end that was what they were, even if they had their system in sharing him, these days there was sting a sting of annoyance in having to share, though not as much since they all grew into practically family, there was respect there and they were not ones to act jealous of one another… at least, not anymore.

 

"This is how this will go. I and Vegeta will attack Kron first, should there be that woman- your evil version sister Towa, Dabura, you and Mira along with Zangya should target her. Get her to retreat." Piccolo then said suddenly, seriously while grabbing his knuckles and cracking them, then his neck slightly.

 

"Will go after Towa yes, though I would like either Goku or Vegeta to assist me with her. I have a… hunch that the technique you call 'Forced Spirit Fission' could work on Towa, having absorbed the other, my actual sister or well enough the one of whom I and Mira here, would call our family." Dabura paused, a growl erupting from him, he continued.

 

"Whoever this Towa is, her power and demonic visage, unlike the one she absorbed has a sinister tone to her. Borrowed power… she has well and truly given up her free will and most likely has a master that has given her this power and strength."

 

"Given power or not, I will use the 'Forced Spirit Fission' technique on her, in return you and… the nuisance next to you should do well to let me fight Kron first. Should I tire or… in the most probable outcome, am defeated you may jump in then." Vegeta sneered at himself as he mention being 'defeated' Weiss let out a small smirk, listening in to them all boastful and jumping in line to battle Kron, like he was the princess they were destined to rescue and try to win the favor of said princess. She didn't laugh aloud, feigning disinterest as one skill of her upbringing, basic etiquette instilled in her during her early years.

 

"Fine Vegeta, will back you up on this. Though should she escape and you help halfheartedly. Will not be holding back on our fight with Kron. Even fighting you to get to him would not be such a bad idea to me. What do you think Mira." Weiss eyed the other, intimidating warrior whose red eyes and white hair, while handsome of features held only a cold gaze for anyone whose interest Mira had for. Mira didn't even bother to reply, grumbling with a silent rage in those eyes of his, which is why she would never speak to him alone.

 

"Whatever, I'll not waste time in wasting time when I assist you. Towa will be struck with that technique and you'll have your precious sister back. Though make sure that this fool of a sister doesn't get in the way. Another woman pining after him, would just make his time more and more allotted to them and even less time for training or fighting a bout against him in the future!" Vegeta's eyed them then, a little malice there but no less than was normal for him to send at them.

 

Naturally, they didn't fear his words, more a mere annoying boast than real hatred for them, it was Zangya in a rare amused mood who replied, taking advantage of how easily riled up Kron's overeager friend and Yang's royal father in law is.

 

"Don't be too sure of that, I happen to know that Dabura's smug sister was very much a stalker of him before she was absorbed by that other Towa. And who knows what sort of emotions stirs within that bitch who absorbed her alternate. As a… fellow woman of him, I happen to know why so many of us have…uh, flocked to him. And yet you're the king-"

 

"-Let's just get there in silence, I'm dreading this fight to come, no need to hear you all squawk like those dragons back on earth." Cumber's eyes tore from Vegeta to Zangya and then to Dabura and Mira, daring them to speak back to the irritated bastard he is.

 

"We're coming into the location now… it is well hidden so allow me to make land first. You'll see what I mean in a few seconds." Whis concentrated, Shin's hand still placed onto his right shoulder for their directions.

 

The glass coffin that was their ride came into sight of a black void, suddenly for the gods transport slowed down to a crawl, now allowing them to see more than blur and blips of light, they seemingly came to a crawl around such a star, or black hole if Weiss was correct to say, the others like her looked all interested in it. Most of course, were confused, for they stopped in front not a planet, but this space anomaly.

 

"Hmm, this is the place… That black hole is definitely not a normal astronomical object."

 

"You say that like we'd understand." Piccolo didn't further comment, though Lord Whis did so, smiling slightly.

 

"Yes, this wasn't here a few thousand years ago, Lord Beerus and I are quite knowledgeable about the universe in which is his domain, and this one? You can feel it… Vegeta, Goku… Piccolo, you can too should you concentrate better instead of speaking. Just feel him out." then Shin took his hand off of Lord Whis shoulder, adding as he turned to them all.

 

"This is where I can feel that taint, it is most strongest here, this must be some kind of dimensional door of Towa's creation. This is where I and Kibito leave you."

 

"I leave you here as well, mind I've got Lord Beerus to get back to, encase he has need of me now. But I'll be mindful of your battle here. Just… call out my name and I'll return in time to pick you all up again. We're not alone."

 

She, like the others then turned to the black hole, it glowed purple in a bright hue, pushing outwards and then Towa faded into view, hostile staring them all down. It was after she appeared that another appeared into view… Kron.

 

(Towa-POV)

 

'I don't know how they found out this location but I can seal this space.' She and Kron left her personal dimension she set up in where she thought was a place hiding in plain sight, though she must have underestimated the Kai's in doing so in a brazen space.

 

Hirudegarn was lost, like Cell but this time they managed to get ahold of the creature and use him to somehow track her and him down, their assembled forced floated out into space and those who she believed to be fighting, Piccolo, Vegeta, Goku, Dabura… Mira, another nameless Saiyan with an evil feeling within his Ki, along with two of Kron's harem, four of them total were also here.

 

"Kron! Kill them, show them no-" she began, Mira and Dabura came into view, seconds from her she manifested her staff and deflected their attacks with her magic, then retaliating as she continued her order.

 

"Kill them, hold them off!" her anger inflamed, she suddenly found herself forced to gag, as another came at her and it was too late for her to block the attack with her defensive maneuvers, keeling over in abdominal pain, her eyes watered while bile rose up from her stomach.

 

"Tch, close call bitch. Now you two! Finish her off and stay out of this, he is mine" the Saiyan Vegeta shouted, was close enough to her for her to wince, her anger unable to match the sheer pain she felt. As if something had been ripped from her from that attack-" she stared at Dabura, and then at the… woman that she had dealt with before, by absorbing her and her eyes widened in disbelief. Vegeta then kicked her towards her dimensional gate, as Mira followed with murderous intent, though she managed by Vegeta's kick to garner enough momentum to race for her dimensional door and let herself pass right through.

 

"B-Bastard, that Saiyan Vegeta… he and them shall die, I've the ultimate force backing me up!" she coughed more, now decided to seal off the door for now and then she would change the entrance's position to another random spot in space. Weaving her magic, the door was been attacked via energy as only energy could do damage, nothing physical but even then, with her enchantments and energy spent to enforce the barrier, it would take a long while and a lot of energy to fall.

 

"No use in c-crying over a minor loss. Annoying as it is." she got to work, the energy bombarding her barrier slowly fading out of existence when she finally, sealed the entrance in and cursed herself for thinking herself invincible to… whatever technique that was, that Vegeta afflicted against her. She also felt a little bit drained from the separation, but not by much… her power only lost a little bit of her power she gained from absorbing that inferior version of her.

 

'Whether or not my servant succeeds in defeating those meddlers or not, I've gained what I needed from him. I even feel disgusted to realize those emotions twisting my mind was not of my own doing, but that lesser version of me.' well whatever then, she had an heir and the future demise of every timeline which would try and act against her and her master's plans.

 

(Vegeta-POV)

 

Smirking, he flickered nearby to Kakarot and Cumber, eyes on the prize.

 

"Now stand aside now, it is my fight, the rest of you all can land on that nearby planet and watch from there. I'll bring him down there and finish this." Vegeta then sneered towards Pyrrha, who shook her head 'no', replying.

 

"Look at him, he has paused, look at him… He looked as if he recognizes us. He-"

 

"-Will not recognize you idiots until I take off that mask from his head now stand aside and keep out of the way. Go land on that planet and look pretty for your husband." She glared at him, scoffing but Zangya placed a hand on her shoulder, Pyrrha turned to Weiss and Blake and pointed at the planet.

 

Piccolo responded, hovering back some ways, Kakarot followed though a little bit miffed that he wouldn't be fighting first. Tien, holding Cumber back while he growled at Vegeta, earning a laugh from Vegeta.

 

"Fine, Vegeta. Will wait until you fold to that kind of power he's pushing out… and as you can see, his hair is still black. Go ahead, show us how you intend to win against him here and now without being crushed." Piccolo, Tien, Cumber, Zangya, Kakarot, Pyrrha, Raditz, Blake and Weiss hung back some ways, Vegeta turned to that planet down below and decided that it would make the perfect battlefield to take the fight to. Those two shadow dragons didn't flinch much, going with the others wordlessly but seemed interested in the fight.

 

"Heh, now Kron! Mask or whatever, it will be you and me-" Vegeta blocked a melee blow by the skin of his teeth, that was quickly launched at him with Kron coming in and engaging him in melee combat. Vegeta smiled internally and led the bastard down towards the planet, a lush green world that was far off, though nearby enough to get to in a few minutes at his current speed.

 

"I'll lead you on a merry chase Kron, and then we shall settle this fight between us on that world!!" excited, Vegeta did his best to keep out of range, that mask making Kron act the fool as expected, showing barely any skill in trying to attack Vegeta.
