>>5729447But just because the battle of your lives happened doesn't mean the rest of your day stopped. You continue your usual daily routine with your family, calling it a bit earlier than usual along with your wife, the two of you heading to sleep. As soon as your head hits the pillow all your thoughts drift away, immediately feeling that familiar darkness overtake you. Only for it to ignite in emerald flames that don't burn you, a deep, primordial roar bellowing at you from the abyss.
“GRRROOOAAAAAAAR!!” comes the Berserker's war cry, the fires blazing brighter as the familiar figure of the First Berserker appearing before you. But then, as he does, suddenly several magical circles appear, seemingly binding him completely in place. But as you look, he isn't struggling at all. As if trapped in time.
“Excellent work, Karn.” comes a familiar voice, you turning to see Mechikabura hovering there as casually as ever. “To force the angel Whis to step in, he must have believed that you were truly going to erase the Destroyer. And not once but twice! I must say, I am impressed.”
“Thanks, but I didn't do all that much. Meloka hit him harder than I did, hell she's the only one to really hurt him.” you reply, Mechikabura nodding along.
“Yes, your wife is quite the dangerous combatant. There is no doubt.” Mechikabura replies. “However, that won't hold him for much longer. So, we need to talk.”
“Sure.” you reply, glancing over to the Berserker Soul. And that's when you notice the magic circles have all started to crack, seems that even the power of a Demon God is weak to the Berserker's anti-divine powers. Good to know.
“Mastery over this power is the key. I need you to control that anti-god power.” he says seriously, turning from you to the seals he put, flakes of magic raining down from the discs as they continue fracturing. “With your power, I'll be able to direct you at a weak point in the outer wall surrounding Conton City, breaking through her time barrier and allowing us to enter the city. Then, once we've got our way in, my forces will invade, giving me the time I need to gather my remaining Dark Dragon Balls they have squirreled away inside.”
“And I'll finally get them back for all the bullshit they've done to my family.” you say, feeling your own rage, separate from the Berserker's ambient wrath infused in this space flare up, remembering all the hardship the Time Patrol have put you and your family through. Especially Future Chaya. “How do I master this power? I've beaten this spirit several times, but it just keeps coming back. Can I use my Stand on it?”
“You could, but that would weaken the power of the Berserker considerably. However, in this timeline you have a unique advantage you've never had before.” he says, grinning. “After all, you're not alone this time.”
