Mother and Son [Invite/Near Korin's Grounds]

While Nasu was speaking to himself, it started to drizzle; it was the second time on this same day that it was raining, though this was the first time it was actually natural and not some forced weather effect due to absurd power being unleashed from that numerous amount of strong warriors gathering on the same spot. ”Rain again…” Nasu thought to himself as he stared at the dark skies, changing from his angered expression to a much more serious one.

The rain became heavy and intense, almost like the planet was crying for everything that had transpired on that day, and Nasu couldn’t blame it. Plenty of innocent saiyan blood had been spilled and he would get his revenge. The saiyan narrowed his eyes and clenched his right fist. – Jarvis! – he exclaimed with some anger in his tone. He wanted to put him down for good, to beat him back into hell and make sure he would stay there forever and ever, without any way of crawling away from his pit and, even if he did, Nasu was pretty adamant of leaving no place for him to call home, as he was going to destroy everything Jarvis held dear. The King Caesar would be punished for killing Toru and for betraying the Saiyan Alliance, and the price he was going to pay would be steep, very steep.

Nasu shook his head and sighed. ”Stop… I need to keep going…” and with that resolution, he began to fly again, approaching Korin’s Holy Grounds, but, as he drew near to his goal, a lightning fell dangerously close to him, almost in a supernatural way. Nasu quickly flew backwards in an alerted manner and stared at the lightning, which was fading away while giving its place to a body form, engulfed in bright yellow light and lightning arcing around it. The power level he felt emanating from that being was absurd, so absurd that Nasu felt shivers running down his spine; that power dwarfed his own and Atsuko’s, and that didn’t make any sense.

”W-what?! T-this absurd power…” he gulped, with his jaw dropping a little as he acquired a completely startle expression on his face. Before he could even properly react, that person flew towards him at an absurd speed, landing a powerful hook to his gut, that made him puke a little bit of blood; the first injury Nasu was sustaining ever since he had received his Zenkai boost while fighting Atsuko. The super saiyan two groaned in pain. – UGH! – as he doubled his body with the sheer force of the attack he had received and, shortly after that, he flew backwards, in order to put some distance, at least a couple dozen feet in between him and his attacker before he managed to raise his head. Nasu had already grit his teeth and showed nothing but pure rage in his teal-colored eyes.

– You… Bastard! You have no idea who you are messing wi… What?! – but, before he could even finish his sentence, he finally managed to take a proper look on his attackers face and, to his shocking surprise, it was his mother! And not only that, but his mother on her fullest potential as a super saiyan three. Nasu’s jaw dropped even more so than before and he became completely speechless with such a sight, unable to utter a single word.

Tomoroko didn’t talk much, instead, she just called him stupid brat and told him to go home. As Nasu stared at his mother, he couldn’t help but to notice the halo above her head, meaning she was really dead, but, still, managed to get back to the world of the living and was there, standing in front of him and actually fighting him. ”What the fuck is going on?! That’s… That’s definitely… Mother!” he realized, gulping again. His body was shaking with the whirlwind of emotions that was kicking inside his heart. He was happy to see her, he couldn’t even express how much he missed her, while, at the same time, he was completely surprised she managed to get back to the living world and was now standing in front of him and, on top of all that, he was mildly annoyed by the fact that she hit him without an apparent reason – at least on his perspective – and that it was the first action she took after so many years.

It was her, it was definitely her, and right now Nasu’s brain was being able to process such information as true. His eyes became watered with the hurricane of emotions taking over his heart, but he refused to let even a single tear to fall from his eyes. He held his breath a lot and suppressed his feelings even more than he was suppressing his power level. Then, Tomoroko continued to speak, asking him if he had any idea of how much he had screwed up things, not only for him, but for the Alliance and the whole Galaxy. Nasu eyes remained widened and his brows arched as he tried to process that statement; as much as he tried, he couldn’t see how he could have screwed up all that much. In fact, if it wasn’t for Atsuko delaying the duel over and over again, he would’ve got to Jarvis in time to maybe save everyone, it was all her fault for being such a coward, and that though made him feel angered.

His expression became much more serious and he took another deep breath in order to get the water out of his eyes, which he was successful in doing. In the meantime, he watched as his mother powered down to the Super Saiyan Two form, and that was when he noticed something interesting: he had become almost as strong as her when holding the same transformation. ”So this is how much I’ve grown… I’m almost stronger than mom…” he silently mused to himself. Then, Tomoroko began to speak again, saying how much he had grown and that made him gaze away from her and stare to the ground, while the rain poured down on both of them.

She said that they wanted to leave everything to him, that she and his father hoped to do so, but after the mark, he was lucky she wasn’t sent to kill him and, to hear such words from his mother hurt him and Nasu only had one way to deal with pain: getting angry. The young super saiyan two raised his head again, glaring at his mother’s eyes with rage inside his own teal-colored eyes. He clenched his fists and grits his teeth. – As if you could kill me!! – he roared with some pain in his tone. His pride and his feelings were a real mess, and the worst of him came out again and, with those words, his ki aura burst again, flaring intensely with the sparkles of lightning arcing around his body as he unleashed his true power.

[Ki Suppression Off. Current Power Level: 14,459,104]

The lightning around his body screeched like a ferocious dragon. His aura burned so hot that the rain drops couldn’t touch his body anymore, since they evaporated when they touched his aura. – The only thing I regret was giving that bitch a warrior’s fight! I should’ve blasted her away when I had the chance! That shitty dishonored ass!! But I won! I’m the strongest here now! And there’s nothing I cannot do! I will kill that Jarvis bastard soon enough and destroy that planet! And after that, I will go to the demon realm and destroy it too! Then the Kolds, then the Planet Trade Organization! I will obliterate everything! All of our enemies! Now! – he paused briefly. – Tell me, mom! Could you two do that?! No, because you are soft as that bitch! I’m not! And without any threats to the Alliance, I will surpass you all! I will be the strongest most cunning saiyan in the history of our race! Now… If you still think you can take me down, try me! – he roared to Tomoroko, showing the rage he had inside of him.

As Tomoroko began to speak, instead of growing constantly more angered, Nasu’s expression was slowly changing from angered to a more serious expression and, then, finally, he managed to crack a subtle grin on his lips as his mother spoke about the demon queen and Jarvis as his main targets; it was true, he had almost forgotten the little Kold demon who tried to control his mind after giving him the Majin Mark, and that was someone he also had to kill, but that bastard was so weak, that he didn’t even pose a challenge and, even if he helped Jarvis acquire the same power, Nasu was superior, and he wasn’t afraid to face them. In fact, he wasn’t afraid to face anyone in the whole galaxy.

– That Kold little shit is a small fry, and I will be killing him shortly after I deal with Jarvis. – he said, almost as if Abzerute wasn’t even worth of his attention. In a sense, Nasu said that he would hunt down the Evil Sorcerer, but not before his other priorities, which he made pretty clear who it were. When she asked if he still saw himself as a conqueror that was when he started chuckling with her words. Seemed like Tomoroko got it all wrong, Nasu’s goals, and that amused him; it was good to see that his parents didn’t know it all, it somehow broke the perfect beings image Nasu had. He was an adult now, he needed to grow being blind worship, and, although this could be a good thing, at this exact moment, he was doing so for the wrong reasons. He was prideful to the point of being just outright arrogant and having defeated Atsuko just infatuated his pride even more, making him feel even more entitled to everything. His smile widened until it became a rather cheeky smirk and he continued to chuckle.

– Hahaha… Mother, seems like you’ve got it all wrong… I’m not willing to conquer anything. I’ve learned my lesson a long time ago, when you guys beat some sense into me. We don’t need estate, that’s idiotic! – he said, chuckling a bit more. – No… I won’t be conquering anything… The word you should use to describe what I’m about to do is… Complete Obliteration! – he said, pausing a bit to let his mother digest the information before he continued. – I will kill them all. I won’t let a single soul of our enemy’s races alive. I don’t care if they are old, or infants… I will slaughter them all! I won’t commit the same mistake you and dad made, to trust some shitty little slaves only to get yourselves killed! Didn’t you see what happened? I’ve made an alliance with the Cerulean Empire and less than a month after we signed the treaty, Jarvis already betrayed me! But I should be thankful for that kind reminder… Enemies will never be allies… There’s only one thing to do with them… Kill them all! Obliterate them! Destroy their planets, do they have nothing left! Break their bodies, break their souls! Vaporize them into nothing! And… Once I do that, I will be able to give the Alliance the peace you two could never give! Hahahaha! – and he was feeling pretty confident he could achieve that with his methods.

Then, when Tomoroko began talking about his duel, he just scoffed a bit and then chuckled. – I did try to teach her, the way I know how to teach, the saiyan’ way! Sucks she is a piece of shit unable to learn. I gave her plenty of chances of a fair fight, and she kept on using her little earthling tricks. Still, out of respect for you both, I didn’t kill her. You should be satisfied with that, but… - he paused. – She doesn’t mean anything to me! I have one true brother, and that’s Komatsu! The rest, those fools lacking a saiyan’s pride are but lucky strangers I won’t be killing because I’m this nice! – he explained and then, once she spoke of peace, Nasu laughed out loud.

– You two don’t know a thing about peace! You can never have peace as long as your enemies are still breathing! True peace comes only after obliteration! And I will eradicate anyone standing in our way! I won’t be making alliances, nor any other mistake! And, if you are not pleased with that… Well, mom… That’s none of your business! Maybe you should’ve thought a bit more before dying and leaving us! Now… You are dead, and I’m alive! I’m in charge of the world of the living now, so… Get lost or I will beat your way back to the afterlife, for standing in my way! – he said, pausing to spit on the ground below, showing some disgust in his face as his expression became more serious.

– To think you would prefer that coward instead of me… A true warrior… No wonder she is like that… - he finished by saying that and then, without waiting anymore time, Nasu charged against his mother, something he would’ve never done before in his life. He was fast and skilled, and he was willing to attack her with all his might with a powerful haymaker to her face. – AAAAHHHH!!! – he shouted as he attacked.

As much as he didn’t like to admit, Nasu carved for his parents approval, and, right now, he had given up on trying to make them proud of him for actions, and, instead, was now trying to make them proud of him due to his absurd power. He scoffed when she kept on speaking of Abzerute, almost like it was a nuisance. – Dammit! I already told you he will die too! Stop bothering me! – he roared at his mother, lacking the due respect; right now he wanted to defeat her and prove to himself he had indeed surpassed his parents in every way. If he couldn’t get their recognition in the normal way, he would get it with his fists that was how his mind work, dangerously similar to Miso’s younger mind. Then, when Tomoroko spoke of Komatsu, that made Nasu hesitate for a brief second. He cared about his brother a lot, and when Jarvis nearly killed him, that drove him mad, so mad that he could’ve even forsaken his duel if it had happened before it ended. Nasu gritted his teeth and barked at his mother.

– Unlike you all, Komatsu would never betray me! He is my true brother and I will make you stop referring to that bitch as my sister! She is just a freak you chose to abandon! Don’t talk big to me! She was never a true saiyan! And you couldn’t stand it, that’s why you two left her on this shithole of a planet! – he roared in anger. – I took the power I needed for achieving my super saiyan two form, and just as easily as I got it, I overcame it! I’m stronger than that piece of shit, and if Kimiko gets that power, I will beat it out of her! - he kept on saying, unable to shell his rage now. Atsuko really did get under his skin rather easily and the more Tomoroko kept on bringing her up, the more angered Nasu would get. It hurt him to hear she was disappointed, but he wasn’t about to recognize the wrong of his current ways. ”This is bullshit! This is all bullshit!” he thought to himself, trying to get his resolve unshaken. Then, as he was about to hit her, he did that again and Nasu narrowed his eyes as she did it; Tomoroko ascended further beyond the super saiyan two, and into a super saiyan three again.

”She… Didn’t even flinch… She didn’t get angry and… As far as I’m sensing…. There’s no rage in this transformation… So… It means that… It’s like… A trained evolution! If that’s it… Then… I will most definitely…” he thought with a serious expression on his face now as he approached and threw his haymaker to her face.

The punch connected, but Tomoroko was unfazed and didn’t even move from his attack, showing just how much stronger she was. From what he had been sensing, she was a third stronger than he was, and that was a hell of gap. She teased him, asking if that was it, and calling his power pathetic and that angered him a lot, but, before he could even say a single word, she grabbed his golden hair with both her hands and brought his head down, throwing a powerful knee strike to his face. Nasu groaned in pain as he was sent away by the force of the impact. Blood was flowing free from his nose, but after a short moment adrift in the air, he stopped, recovering. His teal-colored eyes glared at his mother as he wiped the blood streaming down his nose with the back of his white glove.

– So… Is that the power of a Super Saiyan Three? Impressive but… - he paused briefly as he analyzed the whole situation. – If I was totally outclassed, that attack would’ve been enough to end this fight and… Yet… I’m here! Also… It’s interesting… I’m feeling it, this power of yours… And… Funny thing… - and, after those words, Nasu cracked a cheeky grin on his face.

– Nah… I won’t say anything for now… Let’s see how much you can do against me, mom! – and, with those words, Nasu draws his hand backwards in a motion Tomoroko knew all too well; it was Natto’s signature technique, the Spirit Cannon. Nasu charged the blue-colored energy sphere on his hand quickly and then, immediately as he did so, he threw the energy sphere at his mother. – SPIRIT CANNON! – he exclaimed as he fired his energy attack. The power it had was more than enough to blow a planet like Earth and, yet, it was but a fourth of his full capability!

Tomoroko easily dodged his Spirit Cannon and that was quite annoying, but the fact that he used such an underpowered version of that attack was mainly because he wanted to test just how skilled she was and, from what he had seen, she had been keeping up her martial arts practice, and they were even regarding to skill, so there was no way he could have some leverage at hand to hand combat. ”Hmph… This is troublesome… I need to figure out this transformation real soon…” he thought to himself, feeling the fiery determination of overcoming any obstacle burning deep inside his core. Then, Tomoroko reappeared behind him and that caught him off guard with just how absurdly fast she was. – Dammit! – he exclaimed, with a surprised expression on his face.

”Ugh! This isn’t good!” he thought to himself as he was grabbed in a tight and painful grip. Then, to change his expression from surprise to pure horror, Tomoroko had grabbed his tail tightly and, although he swayed it from one side to the other, attempting to get the appendage free from her grasp, he failed to do so. His mother said that it was insulting to even think of challenging her and he was beginning to believe that. ”I can’t fight her at this form! Dammit!! One thousand times dammit!” Nasu muttered to himself, struggling in vain to try and get free from her. Then, when she mentioned ripping his tail off, he felt a cold and terrifying shiver running down his spine. Nasu gulped and felt cold drops of sweating running down his temples. – No… No… NO!!!!! LET GO OF MY TAIL!!! – and the despair of the possibility of losing his tail made him unleash an obscene amount of energy from his body, which would most definitely make Tomoroko let go of his tail because, no matter the power gap they had, if she was hit by that explosive wave, it would most definitely hurt like hell.

However, it used quite a lot of his stamina and now Nasu was panting heavily. If his mother was injured or not, the first thing he would do after using his extremely powerful defensive attack was to wrap it around his waist even more tightly than before. In his teal-colored eyes there was not only fear, but hatred. He was feeling an intense hatred towards Tomoroko, even though she was his mother. No matter how cruel Nasu could be, one thing war way beyond his doings was exactly that: ripping a tail off a saiyan. He deemed this action completely sinful, and would never do that or allow anyone to do that in front of him, a trail he had inherited from his father. – Y-you!!! Wanted to rip off my tail!!! I won’t forgive you for that!! – he roared with all his heart in pure maddening rage, while still panting heavily from the huge amount of energy he had just used.

Seemed like he wasn’t about to lose his tail today and for that he was glad, but he couldn’t help but feel scared of her power. There was absolutely nothing he could do against her, he was completely outclassed and she knew it, she could sense his fear and made it clear by speaking. Nasu opened his mouth to speak but he couldn’t say anything and that made him grunt a bit. She asked if he had smartened up or if she should keep on going and that made him yell. – Argh! Dammit! I’m not weak! And I will show you!! Arff… Arff!! – he said, while still panting due to the absurd energy he had just used. Still, Tomoroko was almost completely unharmed by his attack, although he had put all of his energy into that and, on top of that, she stated the shocking truth: just one hit, that was what it would take to take him out and that made him curse himself. ”Dammit! But…” and, as Tomoroko kept on speaking of how she and Natto were growing stronger by the second, and how they could just beat him over and over again, he realized something.

”Wait a second… I know… I know how I can do it… I’ve seen they doing it before… And I’m seeing it right here in front of me… It’s not rage… It’s power and ki control… And… I have both!” he realized as he watched his mother pointed her finger and started charging the Rail Gun to fire at him. At his current state, a single Rail Gun was what it would take to completely wipe him out, and if she kept on charging it, there was no way he could counter it or dodge it, unless he did that. Tomoroko told him to focus on the real threat to the Galaxy and stop thinking solely on himself, pointing out how the technique his father taught him should’ve been enough for him to realize that. ”Indeed… I shouldn’t be battling solely for myself… She is right… But, if I don’t achieve a stronger form, it will be useless nonetheless… I need… And I can!” he thought to himself. Then, straighten up, closing his eyes as he tapped into his inner ki energy.

Nasu’s energy signature began to drop absurdly until it reached the sole minimum he could get it to, at a mere power level of five, while sustaining not only his transformation, but also his ki aura, with the sparkles of lightning arcing around in loud screeches. He had finally fully mastered his ki suppression skill and right he could even fight at that state, but he didn’t do it for that only. Then, in a sudden burst of power, Nasu doubled his body and began to grunt loudly. – AAHHHHHH!!!!! – his power level skyrocketed again reaching its peak and the further beyond. His ki aura expanded and became spherical in shape, with the lightning arcing around becoming fiercer and more frequent. His hair began to grow to an impressive length, going as far as to reach the end of his waist. His brows became much more prominent while the eyebrows completely vanished from existence. His eyes recovered its black iris as he ascended pass beyond the super saiyan two form. ”Super Saiyan Three requires immense power and a perfect control over my own ki energy… That’s why… It’s such a mastered state! The true pinnacle of a saiyan’s power!” he thought to himself, as he felt his energy overflowing so much that he was completely battle ready again. As soon as he finished that transformation, he stared at his mother dead in her eyes.

[Unlocking Super Saiyan Three. Current Power Level: 18,977,574]

– I finally understood this power… So… This is what a Super Saiyan Three looks like… I see your point mother… And you are right… Maybe I was drunk with power and didn’t realize I was following a right path but… - he paused briefly, looking at his own hands, impressed with his newly acquired form. – I need to know… If your way is truly the right way, then I want you to show me! Defeat me now, that I have the same power as you and I will go back to the path I was following! If you fail, I will destroy everything! I will let the battle decide my fate! And therefore I will rest in peace with my decision! – the calm of the super saiyan three form was impressive and for the first time in a long while, Nasu was back to his former self, seeing things clearly. Those words of him, although it was impossible for Tomoroko to know yet, were lies; he wouldn’t go the destroyer path nonetheless, but he wanted to fight her and he knew that she wouldn’t continue if she thought her mission had been accomplished.
