Chapter 117 - Chapter 111: A silent planet part 2

The sudden news that Goten was dead, churned Goku's stomach with an uneasy feeling. He was both angry and mortified at this. His brow furrowed angrily. Her aura sparked, electricity crackling around him. His fingers curled, forming fists. 

Baby, only laughed. His laugh was cold and uncaring. "So, you killed Goten? He was a useless host for me anyway." He smirked as he opened his left hand, his palm facing down at the ground where Scarlet and Goku stood. 

Scarlet noticed, Baby was going to fire a ki blast down towards the two. Her Nevermore wings flapped as she took off into the air, Goku taking note flew off into the sky as well. Right as Baby fired the ki blast down, the ground was obliterated. Goku glared at Baby, Scarlet glared at Gohan. Then Gohan attacked, charging towards Scarlet, the Grimm girl braced herself. 

"You'll kneel before Baby in time." Gohan muttered, throwing a punch at Scarlet's face. His fist came inches away from her face, but his fist missed. Scarlet had dodged the punch, One could almost say she tapped into ultra instinct. But it wasn't, her reflexes were on point with Gohan's movements. Every maneuver, every swing, every kick. She dodged it. Which was pissing Gohan off.

"Stay still, you filth!" Gohan barked.

Scarlet smirked, she kneed Gohan hard in the gut. Causing him to gag and spit up blood, Scarlet then sledgehammered him down towards the ground. Gohan spiraled down towards the ground, hitting hard as he skidded across the ground.

While this was happening. Baby was smacking Goku around, but of course. Goku being Goku, was getting a kick out of this. Goku blocked a punch as he went backwards in the hair. 

"You know, for someone like yourself, taking over Vegeta's body. Isn't doing a very good job." Goku spoke as he spits blood from his mouth.

Baby smirked, but his gaze was hard and cold. "You've grown cocky since the last time we met Goku." Baby crossed his arms and chuckled. "How much longer do you think you can handle me?" 

Goku smirked as he powered up to Super Saiyan. "You'll soon find out Baby."

~~~

Scarlet floated down toward's Gohan, she stood over him. She raised her foot up and stomps down hard on his back. A wicked smirk that was almost predatory, played at her lips. "What's the matter? Giving up already? Pathetic."

Gohan struggled to get up. Scarlet put all her weight into her foot, keeping him pinned down. Gohan powered up again. The golden aura of Super Saiyan nearly knocking Scarlet on her ass. But the Grimm girl persisted, she growled. Fangs bared, teeth greeting, all her weight pressed down into her foot, pinning Gohan down more with unregistered strength the possessed half-Saiyan couldn't register.

But, all that was dealt with, Trunks came flying into the scene. Kicking Scarlet off Gohan, the Grimm girl went crashing through mountains as she groaned. Goku took notice as he spoke. "Trunks, be careful. Gohan isn't himself, nor is your father." 

Trunks only smirked as Bulla arrived to the scene as well, Goku noticed her as he felt his stomach churn again. "Don't tell me. You got them as well."

"Oh, I already did Trunks, don't you remember?" Baby asked laughing.

Goku paused. "Planet M-2....of course." He flew towards Baby and started throwing punches, left and right. Baby only dodged and punched Goku hard. Grabbing him by his hair, punching him over and over. Then he spun Goku around, throwing him down.

Goku crashed down into a boulder as it shattered. His Super Saiyan form vanished as he was back to base form. "Ow, okay...that's going to hurt until next week. Could really go for a senzu bean."

Scarlet moved under the rubble of the mountain side. She scoffed, blood trickled down her body as she growled. Her Grimm arm stretched out as it grabbed onto the leg of Bulla. She lammed Bulla down hard. Bulla cried out in pain.

Baby glared towards the mountain side, his hand stuck out as a ki blast charged up. "Time to put an end to you.." He focused all of Vegeta's ki into his palm before shouting. "BIG BANG ATTACK!"

Scarlet's eyed went wide as the ball of ki was fired towards her, she didn't have time to use her semblance. She was caught in the blast as the mountain side blew up into dust and smoke. Baby laughed as he turned his attention towards Goku. 

"Tell me Saiyan." Baby spoke. "Do you think you can deal with me, when I'm like....this?" He lowered his arms to his sides. "Hear me slaves, give me your power."

Gohan, Trunks and Bulla floated up to the sky, around Baby. Their hands intertwined and locked in place. They all powered up as they floated around Baby. Their energy flowing off them and into Baby. Baby felt his power skyrocket for a brief moment. He laughed as he powered up, a golden light engulfed him as the three were knocked out of the sky. Goku was nearly blinded by the light, but once it had died down Baby's appearance had changed.

"Yes, this is what I'm talking about! I feel stronger than ever!" Baby laughed.

Suddenly, a dark and sinister laugh came from where the mountain once was. "Oh you may have, but tell me something. Are you really stronger? Did you forget. You're one Tuffle short?" Scarlet spoke as she flew through the smoke, her scythe swung back as she went to strike Baby down.

"Not so fast!" Trunks yelled, teleporting in front of her. The tip of the scythe was mere inches away from Baby, but had poked at Trunks' cheek. A small sharp poke as blood trickled down.

Baby's smirk faltered, he didn't want to admit it. But Scarlet was right, with Goten not being there, he was still weak. He scoffed as he dismissed Trunks from where he was. His gaze fully turns to Scarlet. "You think you know me, but you don't."

Scarlet chuckled. "Oh, that may be true. But as I've said. I was your host once before, just not this you."

Baby growled. "What do you mean? You never mentioned how, or when."

Scarlet didn't answer, her Grimm arm twitched slightly. A jolting pain shot through her. She gripped her arm as she hissed under her breath. "Not now." She thought.

Baby's smirk returned to him, he placed his hand in front of her face. "No matter, I'll see to it you're dead." 

Goku staggered up, going Super Saiyan 3. "Baby! Your fight is with me."

Baby lowered his hand from Scarlet's face, turning back to look at Goku. "So, you still want to fight? In that shape?" He turned his attention back to Scarlet. "First things first." He raised his hand back up to her face, a ki blast forming in front of her face.

Scarlet could feel the heat from the ki. She wanted to attack, to have the ki blast fly off elsewhere. But something in her told her, no. She just floated there, waiting. Her gaze unflinching, Baby was hesitating. He expected fear....mercy...or begging even, but no.

Fear had struck him instead. Baby flew back, his arm lowered. "Just what the hell are you?" He raised his hands up over head. "What the hell are you!"

Scarlet glanced at him, her gaze stabbing into his like daggers. But from behind, Gohan came, kicking her down towards Goku. Goku dodged out of the way as Scarlet crashed next to him.

~~~

Baby smirked as he was gathering energy from across Earth from the infected people. His appearance changed one last time, he had a ball of negative energy forming over head. "Soon, you two will be nothing but dust and atoms in the wind."

Goku chuckled weakly. "Well...this stinks."

Scarlet watched as the Death Ball got bigger and bigger, PTSD flashing in her mind. When Goku used her spirit bomb on her. Her mind racing, panic filled her. But she took steady breaths. Then, Baby yelled. 

"This is your parting gift! Revenge Death Ball!" Baby shouted as he threw the Death Ball down.

The wind was sharp, blowing trees, dust and smoke flowing past Goku and Scarlet. Then, Scarlet made an unexpected comment. "Where's Beerus and Whis when you need them?"

Goku, shot her a confused look. "Beerus? Who's that?"

Scarlet paused, she couldn't believe this Goku didn't know who Beerus was. But she shook her head. "Forget about what I said there."

The Death Ball was growing closer and closer to them, Goku and Scarlet didn't have any time to evade it, even if they did. They'd be caught in the blast. Then, it touched down. It detonated, both Scarlet and Goku were engulfed in the blast, the Death Ball had exploded. A light show of dark light filled the sky, Baby laughed. The dust and smoke cleared, Goku was gone. But Scarlet lay there, injured, bloody, hurt, body scorched and burnt. But she was still alive, but Baby didn't know that.

"Come, let us go get the Dragon Balls, to wish for Planet Tuffle to be revived." Baby spoke as he smirked, he flew off as Gohan, Trunks and Bulla followed behind him. Goku was gone, but where? Was he truly gone, or did someone save him from the blast radius. Only time would tell, but one thing was for sure. The Earth would be in doom again, when Baby makes his wish.
