>art by @Decial10>>6248177The explosion, however, wasn't from any of Dreadzone's defenses, or even Chaya landing a sneaky opening blow. No, the explosion comes from the Tuffle's ki SURGING, multiplying thousands of times over in an instant. The sheer force of his energy ripping the ship to atoms. And as the blast fades, you see him. Drifting down, transformed into a form you've never seen before. Raditz, captive of the Tuffle King Kudamo reborn.
“WOOOOOAAAAAAH! What is THAT form?!” Zen-Oh asks as the light fades, revealing that the Tuffle's unlocked a new form you've never seen before as well. It looks similar to Primal, but the colors are all wrong. And it feels far, far stronger than Primal. In fact, it feels more like...
As your thoughts drift so too do your eyes, to Future Chaya. Who is staring as well, jaw agape as she recognizes that form as well. She turns to you, suddenly worried. Raditz' body is now an Apex Saiyan as well.
“Well well, looks like you didn't run away after all!” Chaya calls up to him, her voice booming through the speakers. “Good! Now I get to kill you myself!”
“Do you really think you can kill me?” the Tuffle smirks, grinning wickedly as he drops down through the air to land near your daughter. Both of them clearly ready to explode forward at a moment's notice, but also obviously wanting to talk trash first. “Then do your best. But no matter how hard you try, little monkey, you can't beat me.”
“Ooooooh, and starting out with some classic racism! This is going to be fun folks, who's going to win? Saiyan or Tuffle, our Champion or the challenger? This promises to be the most explosive match in Dreadzone's history, don't change that station. Don't even blink, or you could miss it!”
“If you think stealing Raditz' power will be enough to stop me, you've got another thing coming. Because I've been waiting for this!” Chaya says, crouching and clenching her fists. Then, with a roar, transforms. “HRRRRAAAAAAA!!”
Her azure aura turns a darker, deeper blue as she ascends beyond the limits of Super Saiyan Blue. And in your estimate, as they are now, Raditz' Apex and her power beyond Blue are roughly equal. Seems those two years in the chamber were well worth it, you hadn't honestly expected the Tuffle to somehow boost Raditz' power to this level. You don't know how, but he's strong. Seems your daughter's going to actually have to WORK for this win.
