Chapter 127 - Chapter 121: The Seven Circles of Hell

The air went cold, the chill of death lingered in the air. This wasn't the chill of a battle that was about to happen between Baby and Goku, far from it. The Tufflized people felt this chill, Gohan, Trunks, Bulla. They felt it, Pan and Hercule also felt it as well, The three Tufflized half Saiyans had taken their stances, Bulla may have no been a fighter, but being possessed by Baby made sure of that.

Thunder rumbled over head, lightning struck down. Rain began to pour down hard, Goku and Baby noticing the sudden storm off in the distance. A bead of sweat dripped down Baby's face, Goku clenched his teeth, his brow furrowed. "Old Kai, you feel that? That malicious dark energy."

Elder Kai sat in front of his crystal ball, arms crossed. "Yes, it's something I haven't felt before....it's much darker than anyone you've faced." 

Baby was scared, not something he showed before. "What is this power?" He shook his fear away as he smirked. "No matter, this won't distract me from taking my revenge." He turned his gaze back to Goku. "So, you're distracted? Good."

Goku heard what Baby said, yes he indeed was distracted, but he had to focus on the current problem right now. Whatever that other feeling was, it would have to wait.

A low guttural growl escaped from the area Scarlet had been hit down at previously. Her eyes glowed a blood red color, her Nevermore wings unfolded from around her. Her nails on her fingers had grown sharper. Steam had escaped from her lips, her eyes scanning the area. She noticed the three Gohan, Bulla and Trunks, standing there in battle formation. Then, without thinking, she lunged at the group.

"So fast." Trunks muttered, his eyes barely keeping up. Then a hard sharp painful gut punch was delivered to Trunks, he doubled over in pain as he spat up blood. 

Scarlet moved with incredible speed, she was moving faster than any Grimm that was conjured up by the Grimm pool pits. She was faster than the Sea Feilong, and the Griffon. With such speed, Scarlet moved towards Bulla, her knee connecting with her face, blood sprayed from Bulla's nose and mouth. A low primal growl slipped past Scarlet's lips, her Nevermore wings flapped as she grabbed Bulla by the throat, soaring through the air with her prey. She snarled as she came swooping down, she suddenly threw Bulla towards Trunks, the two colliding.

"That's enough from you, filthy vermin." Gohan spoke as he went Super Saiyan, he charged up a Kamehameha. Once he fired it towards Scarlet, the Grimm girl gritted her teeth. She ducked under the blast and crawled towards Gohan, but Gohan had planned for her to do that. He canceled the blast and took off into the air, firing down a barrage of ki blasts, they rained down on top of Scarlet surrounding her in dust and smoke. She stood there, her crimson red eyes glowing through the smoke. She glanced up towards the sky where Gohan was. She threw her arm up as it stretched out, wrapping around Gohan's leg. She swung him down, slamming him into the ground.

Gohan cried in pain as the breath left his lungs. Pan and Hercule could only watch in horror. However, Scarlet took notice of the two watching, she then flung Gohan around like a ragdoll before throwing him. Gohan was sent flying and crashed into a tower, knocking him out of his Super Saiyan form. Scarlet then slowly turned her gaze towards Pan and Hercule, another primal growl escaping her lips.

"I don't like that look..." Pan spoke as she backed up.

Hercule gulped as he also backed up with Pan. "H-Hey now, it's me...the champ, the one who helped you. You recognize me don't ya?" It was clear he was trying to snap her back to reality. 

Scarlet slowly took a step forward, the words of Hercule fell on deaf ears. She snarled, taking another step inching closer and closer. Pan had to do something, so she did. She quickly fired her own Kamehameha at Scarlet, the blast seemed to engulf her completely. Yet, it didn't stop her. 

"P-Pan, do something..." Hercule spoke as he backed up once more. "She's getting closer."

But then, Scarlet stopped in her tracks. Trunks had gotten up, his balance was uneven as he wobbled, but he powered up to Super Saiyan. "You will not stop us, not while Baby is still alive." 

Those were the words Scarlet wanted to hear, a predatory growl escaped her. Her gaze fully turns to Trunks. Trunks charged up an explosive ki blast in his hand. "Eat this!"

~~~

Goku struggled with his fight against Baby, his body still getting used to Super Saiyan 3, even with his tail regrown. He was slower, but his punches did little to no damage on Baby. Baby was overpowering him like before, Baby smirked as he punched Goku hard, sending him skidding across the ground.

"So much for Super Saiyan 3." Baby spoke with a mocking grin. "All that trouble, and you still can't beat me."

Goku slowly got up, he chuckled. "You're right, but I still have breath left in me." He powered back up to Super Saiyan 3. "I'm not giving up."

Baby's grin faltered as he crossed his arms. "Foolish Saiyan." He uncrossed his arms and fired rapid ki blast at Goku. 

Goku blocked them as he flew towards Baby, landing a punch. But that did little to no damage, Baby smirked as he punched Goku in the stomach before throwing a flurry of punches at him. While this battle between the two was happening. Scarlet had taken the explosive ki blast from Trunks head on, even if she had lost a limb or two in the explosion, Her body regenerated the missing limbs.

"Tch." Trunks scoffed. "Damn you."

Scarlet crouched down, getting on all fours like an animal. She lunged forward at Trunks, swiping her razor sharp nails at him. Cutting his shirt, then she pinned Trunks down with her Grimm strength. She gripped her hands around his neck, strangling him. Trunks gasped, kicking and clawing. But Scarlet wouldn't give in, her eyes locked onto his. A slow guttural growl escaped her lips.

Just then, Gohan came swooping in and landed a kick against her head, sending her spiraling through the air as she had let Trunk's go. "Filthy vermin, You've gone and played this game for far too long, now it's time to end you!"

Scarlet stopped mid air, her Nevermore wings flapping. She glared at the two, her fang bared. She growled with anger. 

"Please don't kill them.." Pan spoke softly. "We can still save them..."

Hercule looked to Pan, then back to where Scarlet was at. "I don't know she can hear you, she's gone ballistic....almost like a rabid animal."

Scarlet snarled as she flew towards Gohan and Trunks, grabbing the two with her hands, slamming them into the ground and dragged them through ground. She then flew into the air, still holding onto the two, her gaze lingered towards the explosions of where Goku and Baby were having their own battle. A sinister grin played at her lips however, some of her was still in there somewhere. But alas, that grin faded. She then bashed both Gohan's and Trunks' heads together.

~~~

Goku yelled as he was smacked down towards the ground, hitting the ground hard. Goku skidded across the ground, Baby chuckled as he crossed his arms. "What's the matter Goku? Did all that work growing your tail back do no justice?" 

Goku was knocked out of his Super Saiyan 3 form, rolling over onto his back. His beaten and bruised body lied there, he looked up at the sky and to where Earth was. "Look at her....so beautiful, but if I can't stop Baby...Earth and her people will be doomed..." Suddenly his eyes went wide, his heart thumping in his chest, his tails springing to life as it wriggled. Then Goku's chest started rapidly beating, his Gi exploded, a wave of Ki and aura had shot up from him. His eyes turned completely red, his teeth turning into fangs. His body slowly pulsed and grew and grew, turning into a Oozaru. 

Baby gritted his teeth as he took notice. "Tch, damn that monkey, how did he even...?" He glanced around not seeing any signs of a Moon, then his gaze turned towards the direction of Earth. "Of course, he used Earth as a replacement Moon...I should've killed him when I had the chance."

Meanwhile, Pan took notice, she wanted to stay behind to make sure Scarlet didn't kill her father or Trunks, but Goku needed her more right now. "Grandpa Hercule, stay here..." She flew off the ground, heading towards the area Goku was at.

"P-Pan, wait you can't just..." Hercule spoke. "And she's gone....great, now what do I do?"

Scarlet had dropped Gohan and Trunks, her nose twitched as she picked up the scent of Goku, turning her gaze towards the golden ape. Her inner Grimm told her Goku was showing dominancy over the planet, and she couldn't allow that to happen. Scarlet howls loudly, her Alpha call to over throw the roaring golden Oozaru in the distance.
