"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"W-What the hell was that?! I seriously thought you were going to die!" Fubuki shouted, glaring lightly at Gray as he pushed himself back to his feet.
"It'd be cheap to get power without a bit of pain, right?" Gray just chuckled, stretching out his limbs as he glanced down at his body, "I won't die that easily."
But I almost fuckin' did.
That had been a closer call than Gray wanted to admit, as if the [Enhanced Senzu Bean] hadn't worked, he would've been left writhing in pain as he searched through the shop for something to save him.
But it was worth it.
Gray's power had skyrocketed - what had once been a power level of 277 billion in his Ozaru form now sat at 2.94 trillion. He had gained a power boost roughly equal to 10x, and he was willing to accept that the pain was necessary to get there.
I'm gonna look like a fuckin' beast when I transform back.
As Gray looked down at his ape body, it was easy to see, even in his Ozaru form, that his body had changed. His limbs were even longer than before, and the rest of his body had morphed a bit to fit that mismatch. His chest felt longer and thicker, his body was overall taller, and his muscles seemed to bulge a bit under his skin.
I'm starting to look like a steroid junkie.
Gray's muscles showed even through his fur, and his previously rather lean form was starting to look on the more muscular side.
I'm a fuckin' unit.
His ape-form was unnaturally tall, his limbs looking unnaturally long, and his muscles were unnaturally large and bulging. Overall, it was a pretty intimidating sight, as he looked like a fighting machine - which, considering he was a Saiyan, he kind of was.
"Let's go help them now," Gray said bluntly to Fubuki, turning back to the entrance to the inner part of the tree. The transformation process and the pain that came through it had taken longer than expected, and Gray's minute-at-most estimation had already passed by 30 seconds.
But, real quick, I'll take this just in case.
Gray shot up, reaching out his arm as he quickly swiped across the top of the wooden roof above him. His action resulted in ten glowing red fruits being ripped from their stems and resting in his palm.
They shouldn't be easy to crush, right?
Gray reached behind him, grabbing the small sheath in his busted-up Saiyan armor on his back. The armor stretched with his ape form, but the evolution process had caused it to be broken in some areas, scraped up all over, and soaked in a thick layer of Gray's own blood. He casually grabbed the handle of his wooden sword, which he still kept with him at all times after getting a sheath for [King's Obelisk] on Earth, even if he hadn't used the blade in a while.
Fists are just so much more convenient.
But, in this instant, the sheath could act as a holder for something else.
"Hold this," Gray said, casually tossing the wooden sword to Fubuki, who caught it. Then, he smushed the fruits in his hand down into the sheath. They barely fit as they were round instead of blade-shaped, but luckily, Gray's sword was pretty thick, so they just managed to wedge in.
They shouldn't get broken easily in the fight since they're packed with so much energy, but just to be safe…
"This too," Gray called, tossing two of the ten fruits to Fubuki instead of stuffing them in the stealth.
"I-I'm not eating one!" Fubuki huffed, glaring at Gray as she caught them, "After what it just did to you, you're crazy if you think I'm trying this!"
"Just hold onto it," Gray waved her off with a grin.
It should only do that to me, but I also don't know much about the fruit. I'll just keep them on me in case we need them.
Gray wasn't going to risk eating another fruit himself, especially right away - as eating multiple fruits in too short a time span guaranteed your death - but he could give one to Caulifla or one of his other squad members if things took a turn for the worse.
"Now," Gray smirked, reaching out and wrapping his huge hand around Fubuki again, "Let's go kick some ass!"
He burst forward before Fubuki could answer, shooting out of the tree and back into the air as he went towards Caulifla and Tatsumaki's energy signatures. He arrived much quicker than he had left previously because of the power boost, and he quickly took stock of the situation.
They're losing, but that's expected.
Caulifla was looking worse for wear, as even in her Ozaru it was clear she was getting her ass kicked. There was blood coating various parts of her fur, and she was breathing heavily as blood dripped from her maw.
By comparison, Tatsumaki looked in a lot better shape, but that was only injury-wise. She was a long-range Ki fighter, and while her body looked like she hadn't taken any damage at all, her movements showed a different story. She was hunched over as she glared at Turles' Ozaru form, her breathing coming out in gasps as her face was strained with excretion and concentration. It was clear from a glance that she was running low on Ki already.
Then, there was Turles, who had indeed transformed while Gray was absent. His large ape-form floated in the air, looking pretty much unharmed as he smirked down at the duo of women.
Finally, of the numerous grunts that had been around when Gray left, only Amond remained standing, and he was barely doing even that. Caulifla and Tatsumaki had clearly taken advantage of Gray's temporary removal of Turles from the fight earlier, as it seemed that they'd made quick work of the rest of the grunts as Amond was bleeding, bruised, and breathing heavily.
Now, let's see what I'm up against. Observe.
[Selfish] Turles:
[Turles Crusher Corps Leader]
Age: 37
PL: 1.2 Trillion
HP: 112,125,872/115,289,952
TKI: 28,278,240/28,278,240
TMP: 0
Reputation: -50/100 (Neutral)
[Selfish Modifier] - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally selfish, doing whatever it takes to get what they want.
Gray's lips twitched up as he glanced over Turles' stats, a spark of excitement forming within him.
He's still a lot weaker than I am now, but he'll definitely give me a good fight!
"See! I told you he'd be back, dumbass!" Caulifla smirked, seemingly unbothered by the blood on her lips as she gestured to Gray, "You should've heard this moron, Gray! He was sayin' all this shit about you dying from eating the fruit!"
Dying from eating the fruit?
Gray suddenly wasn't so certain if it was because of his system that he had almost died during the evolution.
"You're alive?" Turles bit out, looking a bit surprised as he glanced back at Gray's arrival, "You don't know the method, so… you mustn't have eaten a fruit! I was just about to finish off your friends, but I guess you can watch now! If you think you can beat me without eating a fruit, then you're sorely mistaken!"
That was pretty cliche, but I guess he is just a one-off movie villain.
Gray was also left even more confused as Turles mentioned that he didn't know the 'method.'
Is there some special shit that they did to the fruit?
Turles shot forward as he finished speaking, not giving Gray a chance to respond or think more. Caulifla's eyes widened as he appeared in front of her faster than she could track, his fist rocketing toward her face.
However, as fast as Turles was, Gray was faster. He appeared next to Caulifla in a literal instant, holding up his hand and easily catching Turles' fist in his palm.
"I'd usually draw this out a bit, but I just almost died, so I'm pretty pissed right now," Gray smirked, enjoying the way Turles' eyes widened as he caught his fist casually.
I'm gonna beat the shit out of him.
Gray's hand squeezed abruptly, causing Turles to hiss in pain as the force of his grip attempted to crush his knuckles. Then, Gray abruptly yanked his arm, pulling Turles towards him as his other Ki-coated hand slammed forward into his gut and caused spit to fly from the man's mouth as he gasped.
-2,982,570 HP! (109,143,302/115,289,952)
Gray smirked lightly at the extreme amount of damage, the number being pretty high despite Turles also being an Ozaru and having high END. Gray didn't let up after the punch, channeling his Broly fighting style as his hand shot up, grabbing onto Turles' large shoulder as his other one still gripped his fist. He shot forward, tackling Turles mid-air as they both started blasting down toward the ground far below.
"Y-You bastard," Turles hissed, his free hand lashing out and slamming into Gray's face as he was tackled downward.
-925,200 HP! (211,943,200/212,868,200)
Gray just grinned, ignoring the punch and shaking off the pain like it was nothing as they continued downward. They reached the ground pretty quickly - or, what felt like the ground, but wasn't. Instead, they collided with one of the massive roots stretching out from the Tree of Might.
Turles' back slammed into the tree as the man grunted in pain, but that was just the start.
-1,257,980 HP! (107,885,322/115,289,952)
His eyes narrowed as one of Gray's arms jutted forward, the Saiyan pressing the side of his arm into Turles' neck and pinning him to the tree as the other one was raised. Turles grunted as he tried to push off Gray's hold on him, but failed as a Ki-coated fist slammed into his nose.
-2,578,855 HP! (105,306,467/115,289,952)
Trules' nose burst from the attack, blood spouting outward like a fountain as his head was sent snapping back. The back of his head slammed into the huge root behind him, stunning him for a second, and Gray's Ki-coated hand pounded forward again. It slammed into his chest, then his stomach, then his face again, then his shoulder, then all over as a barrage of blows came pounding down.
-2,215,670 HP! (103,090,797/115,289,952)
-2,899,572 HP! (100,191,225/115,289,952)
-3,125,775 HP! (97,065,450/115,289,952)
-2,105,890 HP! (94,959,560/115,289,952)
-2,998,267 HP! (91,961,293/115,289,952)
-3,895,789 HP! (88,065,504/115,289,952)
-2,451,114 HP! (85,614,390/115,289,952)
Gray's hand blurred, moving so quickly that it looked like he was punching with four arms instead of one. Each blow slammed harshly into Turles, denting his armor as the fur underneath couldn't stop bruises from forming. He was finally saved not by his own strength, but by the massive root behind him giving out.
Turles was slammed through it, launching away from Gray because of the force of the last punch, and tried to stabilize mid-air. He didn't have a chance as Gray appeared above him, a two-handed hammer slamming down on the man's ape-head.
-3,157,995 HP! (82,456,395/115,289,952)
Turles was sent crashing down, finally slamming into the wasteland below as there was no root to block him this time.
-899,255 HP! (81,557,140/115,289,952)
A crater formed around him from the impact, the dry dirt being smushed easily.
"YOU BAST-" Turles started to yell angrily, then cut himself off as he hastily rolled to the side, barely avoiding a foot slamming down where his head had been. He started to push himself to his feet hastily, but wasn't able to quickly enough as a Ki-blast slammed into his back.
-4,001,270 HP! (77,757,870/115,289,952)
"GRAH!" Turles screamed as the beam slammed into him, only being partially blocked by his armor. He stumbled out of the way, quickly launching into the air as he spun around, finally given a moment of reprieve as Gray's blast made the crater even larger.
"H-How the hell are you so powerful?!" Turles hissed, glaring down at Gray, who just smirked annoyingly in response, "Y-You weren't this strong before, but you can't have eaten the fruit and lived…"
"You keep sayin' that, but you just sound like an idiot," Gray hummed, launching up into the air as he floated across from Turles, "I ate the fruit, and I'm still alive, dumbass. Can't say that'll be true for you soon, though."
I just need to make sure he doesn't get to the tree, and I'll win easily.
Turles was certainly strong, but the gap in power between them was too much to overcome. Gray was over double Turles' power level now, and that wasn't a gap that could be easily bridged. It wasn't so large that Gray could kill the man effortlessly, but it was definitely large enough that Gray was confident he'd win pretty easily.
If he gets a fruit, that'll be different, so I just need to keep him from the tree.
Gray didn't know how long it'd been since Turles last ate a fruit, and so he couldn't know if the man would be at risk of dying if he ate another one. In the movie, Turles had been in this exact same position - getting his ass handed to him by Goku instead of Gray - and had run straight for a fruit to turn the fight heavily in his favor.
But I don't need to know if he can eat another one now or not. I just need to keep him from getting to them.
"T-That can't be! Does he know the method?" Turles started muttering to himself, a strange look in his eyes, "There's no other way he'd be alive… we must have been betrayed! Those damn monsters!"
I don't know what method he's talking about, but I really wish I did a few minutes ago. It would've saved me the pain of feeling my bones sticking out of my body.
"Whatever! It doesn't matter!" Turles huffed, glaring at Gray as he tensed his body, "I'll still beat you! Once I do this, you won't stand a chance!"
So cliche.
Gray just looked at him dryly.
What kind of technique is he about to pull out? Unless he randomly knows something like the Kaio-ken, or has a fruit stuffed up his ass, he's fucked-
Gray's thoughts cut off, his eyes going wide in disbelief as Turles reached back, his hand grabbing at the back of his Saiyan lower-half armor. His finger shifted for a moment, and then as he brought his hand back, there was a small red fruit in his hand.
Nightmare Mode, I know you've put me through some bullshit before, but what the hell is this?! T-That can't really be…
"You may have eaten a fruit, but so will I!" Turles confirmed Gray's horrified thoughts.
Gray probably should've rushed Turles right there, trying to stop him from consuming the fruit in his hand, but he was genuinely stunned for a moment as Turles pulled the fruit out of his ass - literally.
Like, when I randomly started evolving against Yamoshi, I knew that was bullshit, but it was bullshit that helped me! What the fuck is this, you shitty game?! He's hiding a fruit in his literal ass?!
Later, Gray would realize that Turles keeping an emergency fruit on him the same way Gray had stuffed a bunch in his shealth was more of a smart plan by the other Saiyan as opposed to random bullshit, but he still wouldn't get over the fact that Turles was keeping it literally in his ass.
It's an ass pull - literally! A literal ass pull!
As Turles raised the fruit to his mouth, Gray's relatively easy fight became an uphill battle. Despite that, his heart started to race again, adrenaline coursing through his veins, and his excitement rising out of control. But, even as he was excited for the life-or-death fight to come, he still had a familiar thought.
Fuckin' Nightmare Mod-, no, you don't even deserve that this time, shitty game! You're a piece of shit! Fuck you!
