(Baby-POV)
…Dormant, Hirudegarn's body, or what remained manifested out from its tangible state and Baby slithered out into the inky space, leaving with no word. For how could he speak for now, when he was but liquid instead of his solid form, Baby felt his mental state recover slowly as more of his biomass continued to reconnect with him, forming a body. Now, more mature in looks, a mature appearance and seething, blue eyes, Baby's power was all but gone.
Now, his mind could perform more coherently and he-
-A blast, fully engulfing the remains of Hirudegarn, incinerated the entire space and left nothing left, as Kron's Ki could be felt and Baby hastily flew off into a nearby moon and landed. Growling, he glanced upwards and seen the large explosion now begin to dissipate while Baby, glanced around and felt his meager amount of energy slowly return.
'...That Monstrous mongrel has brought me this low… taken out my most powerful host body and did so with ease. The Tuffle's shan't suffer this… t-this disastrous defeat! I shall have to lay low, begin anew and stay in the shadows… until I shall strike-' Baby paused when a small crack erupted in the space in front of him, as a star-shaped cracked widened from nothing as a woman and male made their way out of it, closing what must have been a portal behind them.
"See Mira, our little friend is here." the woman smiled coyly at her companion, the male didn't reply and only had his eyes for Baby, which made Baby's right eye twitch in annoyance. The cretin had no fear for the great and powerful Baby!
"You two were fighting against me, you two are with the Saiyan-" Baby glanced around with urgency, seeing how far away the Saiyan and his companions were but now he found he couldn't sense them at all.
"Be still little warrior, you've fought hard and lost. Mira… go ahead, his DNA has the beings of multiple people. He should be ripe for assimilation." Baby found he couldn't move, the glow of energy binding him, glowed the same as the woman's staff, her sneer hidden within a smile he noticed as the male approached him.
(D)Towa-POV)
She watched as Mira approached the parasite and begun powering up, no fear for anyone finding them out as Towa had already hidden their presence on this small moon, the only light came from the nearby sun, the asteroid field that used to be a planet that was freshly destroyed in that battle with this interesting creature. Mira's grunting as he empowered himself, his energy with her help had him absorbing the creature named Baby, the weakened being barely had time to let out but a whimper before he was forcefully disassembled, his energy and biomass completely neutralized as it went into Mira as a bubbling trail of red colored energy.
There was no chance for this Baby to take over Mira thanks to his already weakened state, the way Mira was built and the ritual technique she'd designed for both herself and Mira also made Baby down to the smallest cell unable to overpower Mira's demonic, superior cells she'd made immune to any and all kinds of diseases, assimilation and the like she wisely imprinted into his genetic makeup when she made him the demon realms chosen.
The two of them also knew everything they learned from their weaker, pathetic counterparts and also took on all their energy, Towa also sealed away her counterparts staff for disassembling later on, which held the time breaker seal and 'every' ounce of energy this pathetic fool had good sense to gather, now added to her own reserves Towa has stored.
"...Remind me, why I absorbed the weakling. His energy, barely enough to add any sort of boost to my power, not unlike that Mira counterpart I'd absorbed prior to this… detour." Mira blinked, glancing down at his hands, growling out in loathing for anything weak, Towa had made sure to curb some of Mira's more annoying tendencies, his lust for battle being one she'd been unable to remove, his energy cackled all around him while randomly discharging golden bolts of energy.
"Baby might have been weak, though he wasn't absorbed for his stolen power. I had you assimilate him for his genetic abilities my dear. Will discus this once we've headed to our hideaway from home, it is only the beginning and with those other two gone, their clumsy interference in this strange timeline is at an end. Surer, they were good bait… at first, though the time patrollers and Trunks-" she sneered the name in disgust and hate.
"-Have been minding themselves to little interference on their end. But their interference will eventually come. Absorbing those weaker versions of ourselves has added much needed power for us to make use of should we come to blows with them once more." the weaker versions of them had also been getting comfy allying themselves to the wretched Saiyan's of Earth. There were a whole lot of Saiyan's in this timeline as well, being an offshoot of universe seven.
'Raditz… Nappa, Bardock… Vegeta the third, a good percentage of their race had been brought to life due to some self-proclaimed god… There is only 'one' god.' Towa sneered, thinking of those pathetic beings, the both were one of two factors she'd learned of in their time here that had been one of the reasons this timeline ended up as it has. The other anomaly… was the Saiyan called Kron. His interference in the earthlings lives has only served to strengthen their resolve and been a positive means of challenge for the other Saiyan's, all training harder to match his might.
"I'll explain to you what I expect should happen to your body only after we've returned to the sanctum. Being out in this place, while the hero's are nearby… no need to talk on this lifeless rock. Come Mira, we're leaving." she paused, glancing towards the dimming explosion where the remains of that interesting Majin beast had been utterly annihilated and frowned, for that beast could have also been a great contributing factor to strengthen Mira.
(Gohan-POV)
Dabura collected looked at his stump, sheer rage seen in his eyes while Gohan helped Tien recover, though it was the look he made when his sister had been absorbed that got to Gohan. With him, Tien, Chiaotzu and even uncle Raditz giving the demon lord space, Kron sent another blast towards what remained of Hirudegarn that managed to survive the condensed energy all exploding in one space. The one named Baby, the one possessing him was deemed destroyed so they hurriedly left the location, via King Kai's help and the 'Instant Transmission' technique, taking them back to earth to recuperate.
They all reappeared on the lookout, where Dende proceeded to look over all of them.
"How much time do we have for the arrival of Frieza and his lot then." Tien asked towards the sky, his intent was perhaps to ask that question directly to a possibly listening King Kai, or he said it out as a rhetorical question. Gohan resisted the urge to just go home and spend time with Videl and his baby Pan, though he remembered that they were currently on the planet Sadala for now, encase Baby went ahead and took control of the world in a more subtle manner then he went about doing. They would remain safe there for now, for Frieza… Gohan hadn't seen him, only heard about him in passing for Frieza and his brother were dealt with by Kron, taken off the world Namek to a place where Kron had destroyed the two of them.
Kron here, now being dotted on by his wife Pyrrha rubbed Gohan the wrong way, for he also wanted to caress Videl much as-
"-We've got some time left to prepare, rest… until they arrive. Five hours or so." Shin turned to the building, as Piccolo stood out, standing on top of the Lookout throne rooms main tower. Piccolo stood there, eyes glowing and wearing his usual outfit which consisted of cape and Turban, he jumped down. Landing, Piccolo approached them, as Gohan's gaze lit up. They all approached him except for Raditz, who stood stand-offish, and Cumber only looked on with a sneer.
"Piccolo, you've returned from your training with- where is father, has he come back with you?" Gohan asked, glancing towards another warrior, who came out of the lookout itself, the one of the galactic patrol who went to train with them before.
"Your father and Vegeta have decided to continue their training for a little while longer Gohan. Vegeta was to return with me when he got sidetracked, while Goku has begun to learn more about the god Ki he can wield, honing his connection. Kron… you've got no time, you've got to go and learn under Whis as well, that staff is set to take you. Allow the rest of us to deal with Frieza and Moro." Piccolo said quite confidently, as Kron replied with a skeptical glance.
"I'll go after Frieza is dead and buried, plus his new friend joins him. Lord Whis can wait, this is the world we live on we're speaking of. And Frieza wouldn't hesitate to turn it to space dust. The other one sounds as bad as him. You've gotten much stronger in your short amount of time away; I take it you've mastered that transformation you've found out you Namekian's can perform. I'm impressed; we should spar later. After I return, from training…" Kron and Piccolo begun to chat away from the others, with Tien following them as Gohan approached to hear. The supreme Kai left in a flash with Kibito by his side, while Dende finished healing Dabura, whose arm was he grew back in a grotesque way, startling Dende and Mr. Popo.
"With Baby destroyed, I won't be imposed to fight along side with you all properly this time around." Kron turned to them all, also sending a glance to Gohan as he approached, Tien replying.
"Myself… Piccolo here, Gohan. Dabura, Raditz… that other Saiyan Cumber might help if Kron asks… Kron, Pyrrha, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Sixteen, Seventeen and maybe Eighteen too. Raven… perhaps, we've got an entire force that should be capable of defeating this Frieza, plus the other guy. And they aren't a parasite, so we shouldn't fear being turned against one another, a straight up fight! Am I right."
"... Will find out in five hours time roughly… Everyone should get some rest and prepare yourselves mentally for this next world-shattering even to take place. And like I said, Vegeta's should also turn up sometime in a few hours so we've got him joining in." Piccolo then turned to walk off, as Kron headed off to Pyrrha standing over with Dende, nearby to Dabura.
"Well, Gohan. We've got to eat too. Chiaotzu, Gohan… Should go raid Kame house? With master Roshi on Sadala with the others, his fridge and place is for the taking." Tien smiled, Chiaotzu nodding along though both glanced at Gohan, whom replied with a smile.
"Ah, nah… I'm going to head home for a bit, no one there but I need some sleep first. Kron will get me a Senzu bean or two later if I ask, I'd better speak to him before he goes as well. See you all up here soon, we're on the last stretch before the Earth is safe- uh, besides us needing to go get them black star dragon balls too."
(Vegeta-POV)
Lord Whis, his teacher of a what should have been almost twenty days allowed him to leave though Vegeta had instead taken a page out of Kron's book and made himself a clone, using Kron's version of the 'Multiform' technique, sending one and staying here instead. The clone would be his way of accessing the situation with Frieza…
'With that bastard being alive, he was a threat to his home of earth. The tyrant would have no qualms with blowing up earth nor Sadala too should he find out of it's existence nearby in a close star system…' Vegeta's clone had been assisted by Whis who found the technique to 'clone' himself and send the clone instead of himself, was a mistake on Vegeta's part. Vegeta didn't need to fight Frieza though, not now that Kron had been or should have been the one who did in Cooler, plus with Piccolo seemingly mastering his new eye form that empowering him much like a 'Super Saiyan' transformation, they should be set for fighters that could resist that bastard Frieza's invasion force.
But Vegeta stayed behind and continued to learn under Whis, it was now just Kakarot and himself, with the other punk from the Galactic Patrol also heading off to be there for the other fighter… that Moron character… or Moro, whatever the clowns name was.
With Whis help, he reappeared on Earth, and made note that he couldn't sense Raven, nor their children and remembered that they should be on Sadala, so he decided to quickly arrive towards the lookout and wait. Flying in that direction, casually at a slow pace he felt the energy of some of those who remained on earth to combat the creature that had attacked the world, according to Whis, the thing that was created by the Tuffle's of all the sentient races of the universe.
'The legacy their race left us could have destroyed us. What a farce.' Vegeta's brow narrowed along with his eyes, he seen as Raditz blasted off past him absentmindedly and decided to ignore him, for he looked like shit.
Arriving, he touched down and noticed Piccolo stood vigil on the lookout, ignoring everyone around him, spotting Tien, Yamcha, Sixteen and Dabura nearby, with Krillin and the two androids Seventeen and Eighteen standing over further off.
"Hoh? Your all riled up for the tyrants arrival are you? Did the Tuffle wannabe cause any problems for you weaklings." Sassed, arms folded as Tien narrowed his three-eyed gaze upon him, though it was the weakling Yamcha who actually verbally responded, as Vegeta thought he would. Who says you can't harass you're allies?
"Man, just when I thought I could enjoy myself for a few hours more… Then the king of training himself shows up. Heh, the Tuffle guy Baby was destroyed in the battle, along with that huge bug monster it used as a body-"
"-Pfft, no thanks to you lot I would imagine. A Saiyan was the decisive role in the bout I would imagine. Frieza however is no mere trifle unlike some reject Tuffle experiment. I will enjoy seeing the despair on his face when a Saiyan puts him down once more, I will bark in laughter!" he chuckled, but over the top though he did so to rile up these earthlings, his amusement after all came from their responses or lack there of, whichever Vegeta would receive he won in the end. Training with Whis for more than a couple of weeks had his power stagnant though that came as a cost to what he'd learned from Whis, how to better take control of his energy and use every ounce of power with efficiency and also how to better utilize God Ki too among other things, though Vegeta wouldn't admit but the Namekian and Kakarot had him beat in that department as of now. Whis had been capable of having Vegeta train under a harsher intense gravity pressure through the use of weights, which had been set to even higher than 1270 times earths gravity, his maximum at this point, with Bulma's latest gravitational training chambers capable of raising to 1600 times earths normal gravity as of now, Whis was able to do better and with but a flick of his wrist.
It was why he came as a clone after all, as Vegeta remained on and continued to train, even at the expense of being able to be the one who would put down Frieza, to be the Saiyan this time around to kill him.
"...Vegeta, you're a clone of the original. Half as strong, though don't forget that Frieza might have been capable of thinking he'd lose in another clash with Kron, so I would expect him to have trained for their next encounter. I for one am positively excited to test my strength on this other foe, the one whom the galactic patrol currently squatting on Earth fear more than a galactic tyrant. As to you're squabbles… keep them down, I'm trying to meditate in our final hours before Earths next dance with death bear down upon us."
"Also, we've still got to go and relocate the black star dragon balls, this time they need to be either sealed away or given to Shin. He will be capable of sealing them on his world and keeping them out of the universe, for people to make use of and-" Vegeta retorted, ignoring the Namek and Tien, who was currently speaking with such seriousness, asking bluntly through the cyclops tirade.
"Is my wife on Sadala yes? If so, I shall be off. Got to explain to the woman I've still got training and that I am just a clone. See how the brats are going, see how stronger they have come since my absence. Plus, all those kingly duties the original left to Bardock, Nappa, Winter and Tora- that Bardock's old teammate, not the originals son." Vegeta quickly added, before blasting up off into space and concentrating on sensing for Sadala, which wasn't that far from Earth, if not in another star system nearby. He got a reading though, vanishing from the spot in space and reappearing near to Raven, who punched him-
-Back on the Lord Beerus planet, Vegeta immediately took on the memories of his clone and scoffed, both in annoyance and from the surprise of the encounter, before creating another.
"Go to Nappa this time, that woman… always causing trouble" Vegeta barked to himself, as his clone vanished, a small smirk crossed onto his face, for he remembered the state of dress Raven had been in… or case in point, 'not' in.
