Baby's jaw dropped in shock."Did he just… absorb my Revenge Death Ball?"
"You've already lost, Baby. You don't stand a chance!"
A terrifying surge of golden energy exploded from Goku's body, the ground trembling beneath its pressure.
Baby's face twisted with fear, sweat dripping down his forehead."Is this guy even human? He's a monster…"
Bathed in blinding golden light, Goku's voice thundered:"This ends now. I'll finish you with my own hands!"
"Kai… Ten Times… Kame… hame… HA!"
A colossal wave of blue-white light swallowed the battlefield, roaring toward Baby at impossible speed. In an instant, the beam devoured him whole.
The world went white.
When the smoke finally cleared, Baby's body lay buried beneath rubble, silent and unmoving.
Pan peered at the pile of stones."Is he… dead?"
Gohan frowned, his expression heavy."No. I can still sense a flicker of his ki."
Confident, Goku floated above the fallen Baby, his gaze locked on the enemy.
"Grandpa, hurry and finish him!" Pan shouted.
"But if Baby dies… won't Uncle Vegeta…" Goten's voice broke through, hesitant and worried.
Goku closed his eyes, lost in thought. Several tense minutes passed. Then his eyes snapped open, blazing with resolve. Golden energy spiraled into his palm, condensing into a radiant sphere.
He hurled it down.
The explosion ripped across the battlefield, fire erupting skyward.
"Father!" Trunks screamed in anguish.
When the flames faded and the dust settled, the sight left everyone stunned—Baby still lay there, unscathed, though his massive golden ape form had vanished. His tail was gone.
Baby howled in pain, his body shrinking smaller and smaller.
Inside, Baby's mind raced."No… something's wrong! When Vegeta turned into the Great Ape, my body expanded with his… If his body shrinks back to normal, I won't be able to stay inside him like this!"
Vegeta's body rapidly returned to its normal size. Suddenly, a white figure burst from his chest, streaking into the distance before reforming into Baby's true form.
Gohan and the others immediately gave chase, surrounding him.
Baby's eyes glowed with a sinister blue light."You pests… out of my way!"
Blinding rays burst forth, forcing everyone to shield their eyes. In the chaos, Baby escaped into the distance.
Goku landed slowly, his face calm."Forget him for now. We should check on Vegeta."
Vegeta lay on the ground, breathing heavily, his face twisted in pain. He slowly opened his eyes."Trunks…!"
When Goku touched down, the two warriors exchanged a weary but knowing smile.
Meanwhile, Baby staggered back into his ship and launched it into the sky.
Goku raised his hands once more."Kai… Ten Times… Kamehameha!"
The blinding white-blue beam pierced the clouds, crashing into the fleeing ship. The massive energy wave pushed it relentlessly into the sun.
Baby screamed as his body was reduced to ashes.
The screen faded to black.
Then words appeared:
"Super Saiyan 4 vs. Super 17"
The scene lit up again, dazzling golden rays scattering into the sky. As the light cleared, a new figure floated above the ruined city—an eerily familiar warrior, his face almost identical to Android 17's.
Vegeta's eyes widened."They've fused…"
The new android raised his gaze, eyes glowing like twin suns. With a single glance, beams of destruction leveled the city beneath him, turning it to rubble in seconds.
Obu stared, trembling."Such power…!"
Dr. Myuu laughed wildly, his face twisted with triumph."At last! Our ultimate warrior is born—Super 17! Now the final stage of Earth's conquest begins!"
Super 17 descended, flexing his hand as if testing his new strength.
The Dragon Warriors assembled immediately in front of him.
"I'll kill him," Vegeta growled, rage in his eyes.
With a blur, he vanished and reappeared at Super 17's side, driving his fist straight into his face.
The android didn't even flinch.
"What? Impossible!" Vegeta gasped.
Super 17 seized his arm and casually flung him across the battlefield.
Obu charged in next, fists striking in rapid succession, a blur of attacks too fast to follow. But again—Super 17 didn't so much as blink.
Sensing something wrong, Obu pulled back, wary. Super 17 brushed imaginary dust off his shoulder, utterly unfazed.
Goten and Trunks kicked out in unison, their blows crashing against the android's body. Still, he stood as though nothing had touched him.
Then Gohan's voice cut through the chaos."Move, all of you!"
"Kamehameha!"
The blinding white blast swallowed Super 17 whole. The sky lit up, smoke and dust rising in thick clouds.
…
Elsewhere, in the One Piece world—
Doflamingo chuckled darkly."The Dragon Ball world has some fascinating characters. Super 17… now that's interesting."
Luffy sat on the bow of the Thousand Sunny, wide-eyed."Another new enemy?! What about Super Saiyan Goku? He can handle this guy, right? And the others can go Super Saiyan too! They'll smash him for sure!"
He waved his arms excitedly, while the rest of the crew exchanged awkward glances.
In the Naruto world—
The Third Hokage brooded in silence."So much dark power… Enemies from other worlds keep appearing. If they spill into ours, how will the ninja world survive?"
Danzo entered quietly."Hiruzen, you saw it yourself. That kind of evil force is terrifying. Our world is no different—we must act before it's too late."
The Third's eyes sharpened."Then what do you propose, Danzo?"
Danzo's voice trembled with excitement."We must seize control of every Tailed Beast. Only then will we stand a chance."
Hiruzen shook his head gravely."That would only ignite war between the villages…"
In the Inuyasha world—
Miroku clenched his hand into a fist."That android carries a darkness unlike anything I've seen. Can Inuyasha even stand against such power? If he crosses into our world, my final option will be to trap him in the Wind Tunnel—even if it costs me my life."
…
Back on screen—
The smoke slowly cleared. Super 17 emerged without a scratch.
Goten's voice cracked in disbelief."Even my brother's Kamehameha didn't work…?"
Shock spread across every face.
Dr. Gero sneered."Are you finished yet? Then it's Super 17's turn."
The android rose into the sky, his aura flaring with monstrous energy. In the blink of an eye, he vanished.
Each time he reappeared, another Dragon Warrior was struck down. Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, Obu—all lay on the ground, writhing in pain.
Dr. Myuu cackled."Pathetic! No matter how many of you there are, you're still just insects. Against Super 17, you don't stand a chance!"
Struggling to rise, Gohan's voice roared."It's been a long time since I've been this angry!"
A golden blaze erupted around him—Super Saiyan!
One by one, the others transformed as well, their golden auras lighting up the battlefield.
But Super 17 only smiled coldly."No matter how hard you try, you can't defeat me. You fools still don't understand…"
He lifted his hand, energy crackling around him."Fine then. I'll give you a taste of real power."
His entire body flared with golden light.
"Shocking… Death… Ball!"
"..."
