Part 8, Chapter 1: The Truth Revealed...!

Roooaaagh!!

Is that all you've got?!

Haaa!!

Tch...!

You've never been a match for me. Not then and certainly not now!

What did you just say...?!

It doesn't matter that you can transform into a Super Saiyan God, that truth will never change.

Let me prove it to you...!

Raaaaaghh!!

Urggh...!

...Dammit...why?!

...You don't understand, do you? Why there's such a difference in power even when we're both in Super Saiyan God form...

...!

That's because...

I HAVE RESOLVE!!

W-What?! Resolve?!

You've always been the same. You've never had anything you'd give your life for... No desires or beliefs!

Even in our era, all you ever did was talk about my dreams as if they were your own.

...Grrh!

But not me! I've devoted myself to bringing back the true way of the Saiyans!

That's why... I must exterminate all Saiyans!!

What do you mean...exterminate all Saiyans?

How could you say something like that...?

The Saiyans of this foul era... They all carry the tainted blood!

Tainted blood...? You keep saying that! What's that supposed to mean?!

Heh. You actually don't know?

Our ancestors...the Saiyan God...

They were destroyed by the evil Saiyans. And these Saiyans who roam the universe today are their descendants!

Huh?! The descendants...of the evil Saiyans?!

Wh...What?! What are you even talking about?!

After coming to this era, I saw firsthand how far we've fallen.

I'd hoped that we had succeeded in restoring the true Saiyan way...

But that's not what happened...!

Even in this era...these wicked Saiyan descendants are running rampant like roaches!!

...!

B-But that's no reason to kill everyone! Back then you said...

You can. You and I possess the same will as it does.

To put an end to these wicked Saiyans and restore the true way...!

You said we would just stop the wicked Saiyans! Why do you want to kill them now?!

...Hah. "Stop" them, that's funny.

THAT THINKING WAS TOO NAIVE!!

What?!

Saiyans are a warrior race. We fight to the death!

From the start, the only way to put an end to those wicked Saiyans was to kill them all!

Th-That's not right...!

Take a look around at this era overrun by Saiyans with filth coursing through their veins!!

We've done nothing but lose. Ever since our ancestors faced defeat at the hands of those wicked Saiyans, it's always been the same!

Our whole history ended without a single victory from our side... We are the blood of the defeated!

...!

But I won't let the future end up that way.

This time, I will ensure the revival of the true way...of OUR way, all with the power of Super Saiyan God!

After I eradicate all the Saiyans here...

I WILL REWRITE HISTORY ITSELF!!

That's your idea of this "true way"?!

Yes, and that means you must die as well, Shallot!

What...?!

We don't need the blood of any pathetic losers tainting the new Saiyan history.

I'm going to kill you and say goodbye to this weak bloodline once and for all!

Giblet...you...!

It's time for you to meet your end, Shallot!

Just die already!

...You damn idiot!

What did you just call me...?!

Is that all you got to say?!

To restore the true way and end the blood of the defeated...

You're going around killing Saiyans for some stupid crap like that?!

Grrr...!!

GIVE ME A BREAK!!

What?!

From the start, you've been saying I don't have any resolve.

But that's just what you've been telling yourself. I've always known what I'm aiming for!

Guys that just do whatever they want, no matter how strong they are...

...need to be taught a lesson!! Even if that guy is you, Giblet!!

...!

I'll beat you so hard that you won't even think about pulling any crap like this again!!

THAT'S MY RESOLVE!!!

Hraah!!

Gaah...!

You're treating all Saiyans the same, like they're a bunch of scum!

You might be right about some Saiyans being hopeless jerks but...

...there's a lotta good ones too!

If you're plannin' on trying to kill them like the rest...

...then to hell with your true way!!

As if someone like you has the right to decide who lives and who dies!

This is the only way! I'll shut that loud mouth of yours once and for all!

Enough with this already! Since you won't listen to my words, I'll let my fists do the talking!

Why don't you just shut up and...

EAT THIS!!!

THIS IS THE END!! NOW DIE!!

...?!

Grrgh...?!

Wh...What's happening...?! My body is getting weaker...?!

Why won't you quit?!

*pant* *pant* I could say the same to you.

(Thanks to Cabba and the others, I've managed to hold out, but my strength won't last... At this rate we'll...!)

This guy's stronger than I thought...!

I've had enough of you eyesores!! It's time to finish you all off!!

Aah...!

What do you think you're doing losing to weaklings like this?!

Huh?!

(...! They're okay...!)

Heya! I see you guys are still holding out!

Is it only you two...? Where's Master...?

He's off fighting Giblet right now.

Did you say Giblet?! What happened to Majin Buu...?

Well, look who we have here!

So only two of you little punks had the gall to show up!

No matter how many of you come, I'll kill you all just the same!!

...You sure talk big for someone so weak. I'll see to it that you eat those words!

GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, SCUM!!

HAAAAGH?!

Hmph. Lowly maggots.

He took them all out in one shot...

...

(He should have been worn out from his fight with Buu... How is he able to keep going like this...?)

Hey, Gohan, what was my dad like?

Vegeta? Hmm... He had a bit of a temper, but he was a very strong and proud person.

(Could I ever reach his level one day...?)

Incredible... Even after incurring so many injuries...

Looks like there are still some enemies in the area.

Yeah.

...!

W-Wait! Wait a second!

...What?

Um... Well...

...

Tch. If you've got something to say, hurry and spit it out.

Um...

Thank you for saving us...!

You bought time for Shallot to become Super Saiyan God and...

You even took out the enemies that were in our way.

...Hmph, it's not that I wanted to help you. I just couldn't stand to watch you humiliate yourselves.

Y-Yeah, I guess so... But you still came and helped us, so thank you.

...

Is that all?

N-No... Also...

...

...FATHER!

...!

If...If you want, you could stay and...

This Ki isー!!

...? What's wrong?

Sorry, Trunks...

It seems like some trouble's headed Shallot's way.

Huh...?

On top of that, something seems to be up with him. We should probably head there asap.

You mean Master is in danger...?!

Yeah, probably.

...Tch. What a troublesome brat! Get a move on. We're going to that idiot's location!

Alright!

I'll join you. Cabba and Trunks, you two go and aid the others.

...Understood! Please...save Master...!

...

...Trunks.

...! Y-Yes?

...

(Hah... What's the point of acting like a father now...)

...Hm?

Never mind... It's nothing...

Come on, move it.

Right!

...Father...

Trunks! Let's go give the others some backup!

Ah... Yeah! Let's go...!

Urgh...! What is this pain...?!

D-Damn it...! What the hell is going on...?!

Hmm, things are getting ever more interesting.

What?!

I came to punish you foolish mortals who dare sully the power of the divine with your filth.

(Though from what I witnessed... It seems as though they completely ceased movement all of a sudden...)

...What exactly are you scheming?

Who the heck are you and what are you going on about?!

Zamasu... I don't know what you think you're doing here, but don't you dare interrupt this fight. Leave, now!

(...! Is Giblet working with this guy?! Does that mean he's with the mastermind too...?)

Hmph...

GAAGH?!

Giblet?!

You think too highly of yourself, Giblet. We joined forces, but a lowly mortal may never command a god...

Grrh... Y-You...!

D-Damn it all...!!

Oh? You seem to be in quite a lot of pain... And even then you plan to defy me, a god?

Shut it...! God or mortal...that stuff doesn't matter!!

I don't give a crap what you are... But if you're saying you and that mastermind are buddy-buddy, then I'll crush you here and now!!

Rebelling against a god... Know your place, you insolent fool.

You should feel honored that I would grace you with my judgement personally, mortal.

HAAAAHH!!

*pant* *pant*

What is the matter? Are you already finished?

Huh...?!

(What's up with this guy?! His wounds are healing faster than I can make them...!)

Haaah!!

GAAAAHH?!

U-Ugh...!

Do you understand now, mortal? What becomes of fools who turn against a god?

My my, things have certainly picked up pace.

...What have you come here for?

Giblet's necessary for the next step in my plan, so I'm here to retrieve him.

...Your plan, huh... I have something to inquire about this plan.

...

This situation...is slightly different than what was discussed, is it not...?

Heh heh... Is that so?

...Spare me the charade. You wouldn't dare plan to deceive me, a god, would you?

Well, I wouldn't put it like that... However...

Surely there's no need for me to reveal every last detail of my plan to you... ...Or of yours to me, right, Zamasu?

...

(Ngh...what's with these two...? What is this "plan" they keep talking about...?)

...Very well. If that's what you think is best...

HAAAAHH!!

Hmph, and who are you?

Tch... I didn't even scratch him!

Shallot! We're here to help!

Zahha..? And you came with...Goku and...Vegeta...

Sorry guys...but...handle the rest...for me....

...

...He's out cold. Zahha, can you heal him?

Apologies, but I'm out of magic... Mending his wounds now is impossible...

Hmph... Another nuisance, I see.

Zamasu...

Goku. It seems that a me from another era was in your debt.

As well as...

...So you've switched sides, huh, Vegeta.

(So that's the guy in the black hood Shallot and the others were talking about...)

(That guy's Ki... Something's off about it... I can't read it at all... What's going on?)

...

You were such a good little pawn. I thought I'd get more use out of you for my plan...

Your plan...?

Ah, silly me. I forgot I never told you about that... The goal I hope to see realized...

...So what of it?

...Well, I suppose it's not every day I can get you all in one place. I'll let you all in on it. Why not?

...Are you certain? Telling them what you plan to do will only make them all the more desperate to stop it.

That's exactly what I want. As the one responsible for this hyperdimensional tournament, I would ask for nothing less.

...Ohh. Then that makes you the mastermind!

Go ahead and fill us in, then.

Just what are you trying to pull off with all this time-warping stuff?

Hm hm... My goal... Why, that would be...

TO ANNIHILATE THIS UNIVERSE!!

The time is almost upon us.... And when it comes, so does the end of this universe.

Hah! I don't know why I was waiting for you to talk only to hear pure drivel... What you're saying is impossible, even for someone like you.

Yes, it's just as you say Vegeta... There's no way that I could just snap my fingers and do such a thing...

Not yet, at least...

W-What...?

You'll understand everything when the time comes... Yes, everything will be clear...

Whew, destroying the whole universe seems like a pretty wild plan.

If that's the case...

All I gotta do is beat you here and now. Problem solved, right?

...It's not that I'm agreeing with this fool but...

If you plan to keep wasting my time with these ridiculous schemes, then I'll just kill you right now!

It seems these simpletons intend to fight you.

While it would be an honor to fight them, it's just not the right timing for a brawl...

...!

Right before everything is over... If you all manage to survive until then, I'll play with you, sure.

Do try your best to not be killed by the others in the meantime. Ta-ta...

Urgh...

He vanished...?!

Giblet and Zamasu disappeared together too, huh...

The destruction of the universe... So that's what his goal is...?!

We can't just sit and wait around! Hurry, you two! We have to meet with the others and teー!

I refuse.

What...?!

...

I only lent you my strength because I owed you one.

I don't intend on ignoring those pests, but I have no plans to team up with you all either. I'll do things my way.

B-But if we were to cooperate...

Well, I thought you would say something like that, Vegeta.

...Tch.

Hey Zahha, could you go ahead and take Shallot back to the other guys?

I wanna talk to Vegeta alone.

Huh...?

The fight over there should have calmed down by now...

...Fine by me.

I'll leave it to you then.

Spit it out. What do you have to say?

You sure you don't need to say anything to Trunks or Shallot? Those guys'll be pretty sad, ya know.

Hmph. Like I can stand babysitting anymore.

I see...

...

The me in this era... What is he doing?

He's probably fighting against a bunch of different guys right now... including me.

You'd probably be surprised too if you met him. He's gotten crazy strong.

...I see... I'm still fighting...even now...

...Vegeta.

Don't forget our promise to fight again.

When this whole thing is over, let's have a go again! We can pick up where we left off!

So, once we clean up this whole mastermind mess...let's have our battle!

...A promise with someone like YOU? Don't make me laugh. I don't remember ever doing that.

B-But you know, back then you...

I'm not done talking! So shut up and listen!

...

We Saiyans are a warrior race.

If we continue fighting, we're bound to meet again on some battlefield.

And when two Saiyans meet on the battlefield, there's only one thing to do... So I don't need to make any useless promises...

...!

So until then...

Don't go losing to anyone else, Kakarot.

Heh... But I don't think that's possible with this version of you...

...Heh heh.

Don't worry. I wasn't planning on it!

See ya around, Vegeta!
