Friend or Foe?! The Ultimate Power! [Mira]

Nasu was flying as fast as he could in his base form and he could sense that huge energy signature approaching him too, they were about to meet halfway and that just made the Saiyan King narrow his eyes a bit more. ”I know for a fact it’s not Jarvis… There’s no way he could increase his power even more and, somehow, the presence is different… But I can’t yet understand what it is…” he thought to himself as his white trail of energy pierced through the skies of Hell.

It didn’t take him long to meet the source of this energy and upon spotting the dark energy that was closing in, Nasu abruptly stopped midair, making his aura fade away in an instant. And while he didn’t slide into his fighting stance, it was clear – with but a single glance – that he was alert enough to respond to anything that may be thrown at him. He had the eyes of an alpha wolf, ready to take on his prey; compliments to Karota’s training in this regard.

What Nasu saw was quite the unique creature. Blue skin, pointy ears, but somehow he resembled a saiyan, even though he had white hair, brows akin to a Super Saiyan Three and crimson eyes. But the sensation he exhaled from his body? Pure and dreadful danger. Nasu analyzed him for a brief moment, but gave up on trying to read what he was. He didn’t look like a demon either, despite the traits he displayed. But one thing jumped out of his frame: he had no halo above his head, which meant he was alive even though he was in Hell.

”What is a living warrior with such power doing in this place?” he asked and then, reminding that he needed no further enemies, Nasu exhaled sharply, closed his eyes for a moment as he swallowed a bit of his pride: if this man was alive in Hell, it meant he knew a way out. ”I’m Nasu, the King of the Saiyans. Who are you?” this tone was as polite and cordial as he could get and that alone was already taking a huge effort.

The odd-looking man was also not in a fighting stance, but Nasu could sense the pressure coming from him and that was enough for the King to understand that even though he wasn’t there for a fight – at least for now – he was still prepared for one. A warrior, much akin to a saiyan, but a bit… Beyond that? He wasn’t sure if he would have to word it this way due to his pride, but he felt like he had more than what made a saiyan the ultimate warrior race and that was troublesome. ”I can’t see an opening in him. It’s absurd. More so than even Rutattsu, who was strong, but also naïve and unexperienced…” he thought to himself, feeling a drop of cold sweat running down his left temple, but Nasu’s expression didn’t flinch.

The tension was so high it was almost made solid, but both of them hold their ground and while the blue skinned male didn’t answer his first question, he did speak after Nasu finished talking to him. He introduced himself as Mira and one thing he said made Nasu narrow his eyes: former Demon King and King of Hell. If he was the former king of both these places, he was dethroned not once, but twice. But how could a being as strong as himself lose those titles, and especially to the ones currently holding them.

Nakiya was nothing but a bug compared to Nasu back when he wasn’t even a Super Saiyan God, and Jarvis, although quite more powerful, to the point of posing a bit of a challenge to Nasu, wasn’t nowhere near Mira’s level. ”Intriguing…” Nasu thought, but held it within himself for now for the next thing he said was that he was the strongest being to walk this universe and Nasu scoffed. ”Then, Mira, former King, you don’t know about fusion, because I thought I was the strongest being in the universe and I was torn in half by two weaker warriors who fused and…” Nasu paused, staring at Mira for another second, making sure he grasped the feeling of his energy properly and when he was sure, he nodded. ”Their power level was far above even yours.” he stated, but there was no teasing on his tone, it was just that: a pure statement.

Nasu sighed then and continued to speak shortly afterward. ”Though… Yes, you are stronger than me, I would be a fool to say otherwise. However, you still lost or abandoned your throne and I know the new monarchs of each of your realms and I can say this: they couldn’t have dethroned you unless either you allowed them to, or they resort to trickery.” he said and then, raising one of his hands and clenching its fist, Nasu’s expression changed to that of a contained anger. ”If the first is the truth, then you are my enemy and I care not for the fact you are stronger, I will oppose you.” and he had no fear in his voice, despite the fact that he would be risking his own existence.

However, after saying that, the saiyan folded his arms and his expression once again became more serene. ”But… If the second is right, then at the very least we share a common enemy.” and he decided to leave it at that for now; Nasu had said enough.

His eye twitched for a brief second when Mira implied he thinks too small, going as far as to say it was no wonder he fell in combat. ”What?!” Nasu growled, showing clear signs of anger in his tone due to Mira’s accusations. However, what the weird man in front of him said next caught Nasu’s interest enough so that he took a deep breath and tried to make his anger fade away – which he was only half successful. As Mira began to explain how fusion worked, Nasu took mental notes of every single important detail. ”So, just like my god form, it has a time limit… Interesting. So it is a battle against time. That’s perfect, because I feel I’m close to fully understanding my godly ki and once I accomplish that, I will definitely be able to find a way to outlast that bastard. This Mira guy at least seems to believe it’s possible.” he thought to himself, narrowing his eyes and making a brief nod.

However, Mira stated that a fusion with god power could be problematic to him and that made Nasu wonder if the God of Destruction would grant Komatsu or Chris the same knowledge he bestowed upon Nasu. In a sense, he was hoping she wouldn’t, because even to Nasu Lagerus didn’t make it easy and now he was adamant he had destroyed the source of information down on Earth. If that was the case, he would be able to outlast that wretched Rutattsu and nor only injure him the next time they fight, but outright kill him. ”I see…” he said in a rather introspective tone, as if he was lost in his own thoughts for that moment.

Mira powered up once he said that and it was odd. Nasu could sense different traces of countless races on his energy signature, making him a quite peculiar being. The saiyan arched one of his eyebrows, a bit surprise, to tell the truth. ”That energy… What are you?!” he asked, but when he did, Mira had already started answering his former question about his throne situation and he revealed they had common enemies: Nakiya and Jarvis. They had overthrown him from his position with the help of his mysterious creator and strange powers. The man ended by saying that even titans like them could be defeated by numbers and to that Nasu clicked his tongue in disgust, but ultimately he nodded.

”The cowards pile up like flies attracted to shit… I’ve seen this happening plenty of times.” he admitted: every time Nasu attacked, the number of defenders was far greater than his forces and he wondered from which hole many of them crawled out from. It was absolutely annoying and nerve-wrecking.

The man’s power was towering above Nasu’s own, but he didn’t see any reason to power up for now. However, after the man revealed he was trapped in Hell and that to seek his revenge he needed Nasu, but he needed to make him stronger, and thus he wanted to see what the saiyan king was like, he chuckled, cracking a shit-eating grin much akin to his uncle. ”You wanna test me? Alright… But I hope you can go much further beyond this level of power, like you claimed, because I’m way beyond that!” and upon claiming that, Nasu lowered his body a bit, bending his knees and clenching both his fists. Once he had gathered enough energy, with the tickling sensation increasing on his back, he stretched up his body and screamed with all his lungs. ”AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!” the saiyan roared.

His bright golden aura exploded and the ground beneath him cracked in an instant. His hair bristled at first and then it grew spiked, leaving nothing but two locks of hair covering his right forehead. His eyes became teal and his aura was ferocious and fiery like, with sparkles of blue lightning running through his body like crazy, as he ascended into his super saiyan two form. Once he was done, he adjusted to a more erect position, not even sliding into a fighting stance, with the smirk on his face widening a bit more.

”Now, this is my most comfortable battle form! And now…” he teased, pausing for a moment before he vanished from sigh, reappearing on Mira’s left flank in a crouched position, aiming to throw a powerful hook to his ribcage, attempting to break it with an energy enhanced punch. ”I will show you what I’ve got!!” he exclaimed with a cocky tone as he attacked Mira.

Nasu was satisfied when Mira pointed out the reason why they needed fusion was because of his immense power, but at this point he knew better than to just let arrogance dominate his mind and took it with a grain of salt. In any case, Nasu decided not to say a word and focus on trying to hit Mira with his energy punch, the way Karota taught him years ago, but the bio-android sudden spike in power, together with a well-timed barrier technique proved to be more than a match to his Ki Blast Thrust and he could sense his fist hitting the impregnable wall of purple that was summoned around Mira.

The saiyan clicked his tongue as he retreated backwards a few feet, in order to put some comfortable distance in between them so that if Mira was about to counter, he would have time to react, but he decided to leave it at the barrier and that made Nasu think that he was, perhaps, still determined to test his power and fighting prowess. The former demon king told him he was still holding back and of that Nasu was sure, so he just scoffed, sliding now into his Soy School stance.

”Oh, I know you are. With just how easy you were able to increase your power level… I have no doubt this is not even close to your full power, but…” he paused as his smirk widened into an excited smile.

”I’m also not even close to my full power yet! But like I said, I favor this form for combat and I will test my limits with you until I have a reason to further power up!” he explained and then, without further delay, Nasu exploded his ki aura as much as he could sending gusts of wind all over the place. Following that he charged yellow orbs of ki energy onto his hands and fired them at the ground in between the duo, in order to raise enough dust so it would block Mira’s sight and, if that worked, Nasu would immediately hide his power level, so he couldn’t be sensed, while already moving away from his original spot.

Should that work, he would attempt to hit Mira’s flank with a strike with the knife of his hand, aiming to injure his ribcage and cause some severe pain. Obviously this would only work this way if the bio-android waited and allowed him to do that, otherwise, this strategy would stop at the hiding part. They were both testing each other and this battle was far from over.

Nasu was a seasoned warrior and during his lifetime he had the opportunity to witness many of the Galaxy famous fighting styles, and Mira’s stance wasn’t anything he had ever seen and that just made things far more interesting for the saiyan, making his blood boil like never before. In any case, the battle continued with Mira calling Nasu’s tactics clever, but he wasn’t completely fazed by that and with his amazing reaction speed, he managed to react in time so that Nasu couldn’t really hit him with the attack to the ribs, leaping upward while firing a ki blast at Nasu, but the King of All the Saiyans wasn’t willing to let him do as he pleased. ”As if I would let you!” he exclaimed with a smirk on his face as he put both his hands forward, palms wide opened and, using his ki energy, he repelled Mira’s ki blast right back at him.

”Have a taste of your own medicine, Mira! You are not fighting the average saiyan warrior anymore!” he said as he reflected the ki energy blast back to its owner, hoping he would surprise the former Demon King with the unexpected maneuver. Shortly after that, Nasu flared his sparkling ki aura, screeching as the lightning ran through his body; he was powering up even more and soon he would be ascending to his next form. ”It’s obvious Super Saiyan Two won’t do the job against this guy… But using my God Form is too risky because I can’t keep it up for long and even though Super Saiyan Three is heavy on the stamina, I’m dead, so it shouldn’t be much trouble.” he strategized as his teal colored eyes were locked onto his opponent.

The ki blast was deflected perfectly but still it didn’t even faze Mira and that was beginning to make Nasu realize if he kept fighting on his Super Saiyan Two form it would be but a matter of time until the former demon king grew bored of it and smashed him like a bug. Mira’s act of crushing the ki blast was enough of a poetic irony for the deceased saiyan king and so Nasu sighed, making a decision and nodding to himself while his teal colored eyes were still locked on his opponent, who asked him to show his potential, to show him what he could do. ”Very well, King of the Demons! I Will show you the real power of the mightiest saiyan of this generation! This is the pinnacle of the super saiyan transformation tree!” Nasu announced as he crouched a bit and clenched both his fists, flaring his sparkling golden aura once again, intenser than ever.

”AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Now I will go even FURTHER BEYOND!!!” and upon announcing that, his aura exploded and vanishing, leaving nothing but the lightning that furiously travelled through his body. His body began to float until he was midair, parallel to Mira’s position. Following that, Nasu curled his body and then his aura exploded in a round shaped intense bright aura, quite similar to an explosive energy wave. The Saiyan King screamed with all his lungs as his hair began growing until it reached past his waist line.

His eyebrows had vanished and his black irises were once again visible in the middle of his teal colored eyes as he ascended to his mighty Super Saiyan Three form. The aura was pulsating and the lightning was so fast that it couldn’t even be seen travelling through his body as it would only appear and vanish at lightspeed.

His power now towered above Mira’s own power but he knew that it was far from his peak. In any case, Nasu didn’t fail to notice that transforming into this form was much easier now that he was dead, and that the strains to his body were almost non-existent. He stared at his own hands, opening and clenching a few times and then he finally smirked and stared back at his opponent. ”So… Do you think this form is enough, or should I drop the realms of the mortals and face you as a God?!” he asked, feeling quite confident now.

Something inside his mind was telling him he could do it, he could surprise Mira. It was like another power was awaking inside of him, something that would allow him to take the full advantage of his godly ki.
