Chapter 197 - Darkness Versus Vegito - Part One.

Arriving on the Lookout in no time at all, first he regarded Dende, walking forward. He called out, Mr. Popo and Dende turned and were surprised by his new look, that of 'Super Saiyan Primal'. Trunks spoke up, walking towards the two.

 

"Dende, can you get me in touch with King Kai, I want to be there, to assist my father and Goku in this fight. I can assure you; my strength has eclipsed all but Kron, Goku and my father. I can more than help, the quicker this guy is defeated, the quicker I can leave to my own time. Get me into contact, I'll make him see." Trunks pressed further; his Ki crinkled with energy bolts randomly wisping around him. Dende nodded, replying while his eyes were closed.

 

"... …I'll ask him, he's pretty busy watching both Kron's fighting, Kron's sleeping and now Vegito, the combined fusion form of Vegeta and Goku fighting with this Darkness." Trunks left eyebrow rose when he heard that Kron was both sleeping and fighting, this Vegito sounded interesting though he should be able to find out more when he arrives to help.

 

"Kron's sleeping on the job huh? What a guy, able to both sleep and fight at the same time. Clones I imagine then, well… have you got in touch with him yet?" trunks asked, trying not to sound too insistent, or demanding. Piccolo and Pyrrha touched down soon after, eyeing him with surprise, they seen this form as well so they would know how strong he is now. Dende focused on him, his mouth parted, eyes scrunched up when he replied.

 

"King Kai is too busy, though he's sent the Supreme Kai-" as he spoke, they were interrupted when Shin appeared, looking around towards them. He then looked at Trunks, a smile on his face.

 

"I'll take you to help, though Kron needs help more then Vegito does, I'm assured Vegito can beat Darkness, though you being there might prove a distraction, Kron needs some help from a 'Super Saiyan' like you, here. Take my hand trunks, I'll take you." Trunks scrunched his face up, wanting to help Goku and Vegeta, help Kron wasn't bad though.

 

"Fine then, take me to him." Shin nodded, approaching him and placed his right hand onto Trunks left shoulder. A sudden look of focus appeared on his face, leaving soon after when they vanished from the lookout, appearing on a grassy planet, with one house. A humanoid, blue and wearing glasses stood on the grassy knoll nearby what must be his domed house, he also recognized his mothers work, that of the domed home nearby, unlike this being who must be King Kai, his house appeared colorful while the other white colored dome was of Capsule Corp make. He sensed Kron within, though his Ki was consistent, signifying his sleeping state.

 

"How long has he been resting, King Kai… right?" he asked, stepping forwards, his Ki fluctuating wildly still, he tightly reined in his energy as to not appear hostile though he realized late that King Kai hadn't even replied nor acknowledged his existence as of yet. Trunks heard the voice of the Supreme Kai nearby to his right.

 

"North Kai, our friend here has arrived. I am of understanding his assistance could greatly even the playing field, in keeping Broly and Cell-" trunks head snapped to Shin, who continued on without interruption.

 

"-at bay. Kron has a lot of Senzu beans stored at his house, he's been taking them whenever he could, which Korin has appreciated the expanded hydroponic lab capsule gifted to him, making his job to cultivate such a hard growing thing as the Senzu bean. Kron's wife Blake has been taught how to grow them too and has her own glasshouse for them, for which hence our large stockpile of them." Shin then took another bag out from his coat, Trunks hadn't seen it but it hung from the Kai's waist, Trunks caught it when it was thrown towards him.

 

"Thanks, I take it Kron has slept long enough then? And what of his clone fighting those two… Cell is… someone I wouldn't underestimate, knowing about his creation and his boons added to his bag of tricks. Plus, immortality. How long has Kron slept for? I am rearing to help anyway I can, to test this new form and its limits, testing on Cell is a bonus for me." he tightened his right fist, his anger appeared though briefly. King Kai, now glancing at them as he bowed to the Supreme Kai for a moment, regarding him with respect before also acknowledging Trunks and more importantly, seeing the surprise and hope in his gaze when he looked to Trunks.

 

"Kron's slept for four hours now, not long enough to recover for a normal man- he's a Saiyan but whatever. He had to wake up three hours ago, to create another clone, to keep Broly and Cell interested in the bout, Broly is keen on killing 'Kakarot' whose features greatly resemble Kron apart from his skin tone, while Cell desires revenge. That is the only reason the two haven't gone on a rampage in the galaxy, destroying or absorbing all those they have got into contact with." King Kai turned to regard the domed house on his lawn, the Capsule Corp one, turning back to them.

 

"You're welcome to wake him though, with Vegito… imagine that! Vegeta and Goku, two rivals joined into one being, their fight, I believe they will win against this creature and then at least in theory, this immortality should disperse from all those revived…" King Kai sounded both unsure and sure at the same time, a conundrum that Trunks shrugged, replying.

 

"I'll wake him up then, he and I will head and face Cell and Broly, together."

 

(Vegito-POV)

 

Vegito's strength greatly dwarfed this supposed god, though he had a massive regeneration and resistance to damage he inflicted upon him, Vegito was confident that killing this Darkness should be possible. He had the advantage in combat prowess, his techniques and training honed his fighting prowess and skill, Darkness only appeared to have a greater control over his energy, which off-set his meager combat and fighting prowess. More in his favor, Vegito continued to attack within range of Darkness, hammering against his powerful shielding energy that kept him safe from most damage he inflicted, Afterimaging to positions to make advantages for his melee attacks. Behind, to the side, he flickered towards positions whilst making do of his openings he created, Vegito also would fire off either 'Kame Hame Wave's' or 'Final Flash's' towards these weak spots.

 

"Gah, you are annoying… your power is the only thing keeping you alive creature, it's pitiful- I came here for a challenge." Vegito simply stated, his dissatisfaction easily picked up through his disregarding tone, something that made Darkness snarl in reply, his energy output fluctuated massively from this 'simple' fact Vegito stated. An energy beam struck Vegito mid-punch, his fist pushing against this massive black and red beam, he opened his palm to get a better grip and with one hand he held the beam at bay, occasionally he was being pushed back from the massive amount of energy now pushing against his right hand.

 

Vegito looked upwards suddenly, as tendrils of smaller, similar colored beams sparking with red bolts running randomly up and down these smaller beams, they aimed towards him, the tendrils impacting upon his location, exploding both around and the larger beam he held at bay. Vegito smirked his energy engulfing him fought against this explosion, the energy discharged around him, protecting him from the explosion though at some cost to his outfit.

 

Awaiting as the explosion continued to explode in a chain-reaction, upon finishing, the debris scattered and the smoke cloud which obscured him departed finally. Vegito couldn't discern Darkness's face, for he lacked such basic features, being pure black with his only feature being his red-colored eyes… the eyes didn't hide the beast's contempt, it's rage for him. Vegito, a mocking display, casually dusted off his shoulder as he spoke up.

 

"Your power, it is impressive, like I said before. But you're not the master of your power, you barely are able to even use it to hurt me. I'll be finishing you off in a bit, I'm pretty sure of it. Honestly, your no challenge, just some creature, with great power. You can wield it good enough, but you're no fighter-" Darkness, the narrowed eyes aglow with red energy, shining, his Ki or energy swirled around him as he gathered it for another attack when Vegito flickered over-

 

-Vegito struck the being, this time a direct hit, a surprise for this time as his impressive ability to shield himself with his power hadn't worked while he was charging up his power...

 

'...A weakness eh, I'll use any weakness I can find for this guy, he is a real one trick pony.' laying into him a bit more, Darkness's energy stopped further attacks, as a sphere of black and red energy blocked further attacks, it pulsed out viciously, smacking into Vegito while hitting him backwards. Its damage inflicted upon him hardly had an effect to Vegito's own smoldering Ki, palpable as it was, it barely hurt him if for the burning tinge he felt.

 

"It's been ten minutes now, is there anything else you can show me? Before I utterly destroy you…" Vegito said, a bit of humor lacing his sentence at the 'destroy' part, the Vegeta coming through him more than Goku. Darkness lifted one hand, multiple pulses of air, looking like spheres but made of wind that was visible to the eye. Slowly, a small black sphere formed, erratically gaining size while wisps of energy poured into it through multiple tendrils erratically flowing from Darkness himself.

 

"...You're impressive, I would congratulate you, you'd make an excellent servant… though first I would devour your soul whole, once I weaken you enough, this blast should even the playing field somewhat my impressive friend." Darkness's words while said with some humor, didn't hide the malice this being was feeling towards him, Vegito managed a laugh at him, not in the least impressed nor cowed by his 'threats'. The blast continued to expand erratically, jumping up into a bigger size at random intervals, now exceeding the size of a small moon, Vegito guessed.

 

The sphere suddenly expanded once more, as Darkness, now lowering his hand, floated forwards. He now seemed to not be holding it at least, with his hand, the large spherical energy ball hovered there when-

 

"-What is this!?" Vegito asked, blindly suddenly, a darkness obscured the area, slowing expanding around while the sphere had exploded, though not an attack of any sorts… it was creating humanoids… same shaped as Darkness, though instead of being pitch black like the self-proclaimed god, they were dark purple… many of them, they continued to pour out of what now appeared to be some kind of portal or something, random tendrils would strike an area not occupied… before another of these clone-beings would appear.

 

"Clones? This is your big plan eh, well I'll see just how much a challenge you've given me." Vegito for starters, glanced towards the portal upwards, firing a decimating blast with his already accumulated Ki, the energy surged forwards, exploding engulfing both the portal, Darkness himself though he witnessed the being's energy enrapturing him, shielding him from the blast. The explosion also caught all but five of those clones, hovering around the portal, out of the five that remained out of the range of his attack, the other seventeen were engulfed by it, vanished in the inferno and dust created by his attack. The explosion, powerful and overwhelming was suddenly being vacuumed into one point… where Vegito presumed the portal remained, his eyes narrowed when he caught sight of the portal, bulging with excess energy, which spat out a further eight of those clones, he also seen that a further eleven had survived his attack, adding to the five not affected and the eight new ones now forming within sight. Darkness, still where he hovered in the air, cackled at him, shouting out.

 

"This is my 'Infinity Portal' a new kind of technique I've devised with my bountiful energy reserves, copying the clones you people use while also using my ability to adapt to a situation, able to absorb the life energy you people call Ki… Kill him… kill him now." he ordered, his clones begun to come at him all at once, their fighting skills unlike Darkness, they had at least some skill, Vegito struck a few of them, looking on in disbelief when they took the brunt, not dispelling but continued to fight even harder. Vegito outpaced them though, his attacks he launched with either fist or foot struck their mark while dodging was as easy as breathing- instinctual to explain better, come to him even this many opponents. Darkness didn't remain unmoving, his energy swirling to and from the 'Infinity Portal' above him, each wisp added powered the technique, once in a while another 'clone' appeared.

 

'There's thirty-two of them now… they are pathetic, but numbers came overwhelm eventually… I have no choice, 'Super Saiyan Primal- Four' is powerful, but I need an added kick to take this guy down, his energy is almost infinite, like that portal of his…' Vegito thought, his eyes glancing to five new clones being created by the portal which continued to slowly expand, ever slightly, inch by inch.

 

"Alright then-" flickering every which way while clones of Darkness continued to clamor for his attention… via attacking him, Vegito shouted a guttural howl, intense and primal while his energy surged around him explosively, pushing back any clone converging on his location, while his red Ki took on a more dark red Ki, the familiar use of 'Kaio-Ken' times twenty, for starters, he felt overwhelming as his power affected the entire planet to a larger degree than most their prior bout.

 

With such speed and increase of power, his next melee assault upon one of the nearest clones, his punch ripped straight through its defenses, the technique shielding it burst when its head burst in, he elbowed another one, destroying it with ease. Vegito smirked, he had another thirty minutes worth of this transformation, so he continued to act, with precision he killed all the others with barely any effort on his part, coupled with both his transformations working in tandem to increase his power. He faced Darkness next, he blasted at the 'Infinity Portal' technique, casually without taking his eyes off of Darkness, putting a decent amount of power into the 'Final Flash' blast, it decimated the black, energy-swelling orb above, Darkness proceeded to fire attacks after attacks at him, which Vegito's power shining through and surrounding him, alone, evaporated such blasts with ease.

 

Flickering forwards, he hadn't got much time before even 'Kaio-Ken' would start to react negatively with to his body, his melee assault upon Darkness decimated his defenses, Vegito's speed and strength, intense bulldozed through his shielding technique before inflicting blood, Darkness let out a roar in pain.

 

Vegito, still within 'Kaio Ken' maneuvered around, striking down Darkness from afar, firing off a 'Kame Hame Wave' mid-flicker, his energy already gathered and ready when the beam shot into Darkness's back, sending him downwards from the beam into the ground below.

 

Not letting up, Vegito flickered through within the explosion, continuing with his beat down, shattering ribs and inflict as much damage as possible, one punch pierced through his right arm. Darkness howled in pain, his energy engulfing him while the debris around them from Vegito's 'Kame Hame Wave' cleared up, Vegito's 'Kaio-Ken' ended while he felt his body strain from the pressure. He must have cracked a rib as well as his bone in his left hand from that last punch.

 

"To think… you were able to push me to this…" Vegito said, while Darkness, missing an arm had replied while seemingly regenerating before his eyes, the air around him reminiscent of heat wafting upwards in a desert. The sound of sizzling, the air wafting with a foul odor, Vegito grimaced mentally from the smell when another arm protruded where the other one still clung, held by bits of skin and bone. Darkness new arm then fully replaced the old, Vegito decided to get back in there and attack while he healed. Finding his attacks now landing once again, as Darkness was in a state of concentration whilst gathering his energy to heal, it didn't take long for his ability to shield himself though the strong foundation he found the shield usually in had diminished a great deal.

 

Vegito flickered to a hill overlooking the large battlefield that the two of them were situated in, the multiple craters of this once jungle and lavishly tree dense landscape now but a valley with nothing much to see. Darkness then transformed, growing larger and changing shape, he now looked more like the Namekian dragon...

 

'He must be the reason the Namekian dragon balls are cracked, no doubt about it…' Vegito needed to finish the fight and while he was powerful, 'Kaio-Ken' was the edge he needed, even with the negative effects he faced whilst doing so. He quickly took one of the three Senzu beans he had on him still, eating one of them before, once again, bringing his power to the forefront, readying for 'Kaio-Ken'… times thirty.

 

'He heals much quicker than Cell, much faster than even Majin Buu or the other Buu ever did… that is his weakness, the way I'm going to beat him is when I've worn him down enough that he enacts his healing ability... Get him down to that state where he needs some heavy regeneration then… striking him with a finisher… a combination of both the 'Kame Hame Wave' and the 'Finish Flash' in order to destroy him once and for all… for the good of the universe. Perhaps then, his death would help in healing the Namekian dragon balls and perhaps remove the immortality from those of immediate concern, like that Broly and Cell Kron is currently fighting.
