"This...this is Bulla?"
Like Trunks, Gohan also wore a stunned expression on his face as he looked at Bulla.
He couldn't believe that his usually careless and unreliable little sister had actually unleashed this level of power.
At that moment, Bulla had transformed into a demon protecting her brother, dragging Black Vegito's body across the ground like a rag doll.
Trunks' pupils trembled as he carefully recalled the scene that had just happened. Bulla seemed to have remembered something that made her furious.
A Saiyan could only erupt with such overwhelming power if their reverse scale had been touched, their emotional trigger.
For example:
Goku's reverse scale was Krillin.
Gohan's was Piccolo.
Vegeta's was Bulma.
(Could it be... that Bulla's reverse scale is me? But I could have broken free from that hold; I wasn't in any real danger. Could it be that Bulla thought I was about to be killed, so she exploded with rage?)
"Uh... Trunks? Do you usually train with Bulla?" Gohan asked.
Trunks shook his head, meaning no.
"Then how does she have this much power?"
Trunks smiled slightly. "Gohan, she probably thought I was about to die."
"But if I had been killed, would you have erupted with this kind of power too, Gohan?"
Of course, Trunks was just joking; he really wanted to see Gohan break through his limits. But Gohan froze in place and stammered, "What are you saying, Trunks? There's no way you'd die!"
"Come on! Let's fuse again!" Gohan suggested.
At that moment, however, Black Vegito's battered body suddenly plummeted from the sky, completely overpowered by Bulla, taking blow after blow!
She raised both hands high above her head and slammed a devastating punch straight into Black Vegito's abdomen.
BOOM!
His body crashed down near Trunks and Gohan, throwing up a cloud of dust.
The smoke was so thick that Trunks and Gohan couldn't see if their partner's fingers were outstretched for the fusion pose.
Having learned from their previous failed fusion attempt, Gohan called it off to avoid another mishap.
"Reset! Trunks!"
But then, a manic laugh broke Gohan's concentration.
"HAHAHA! This is exhilarating! Simply Wonderful! You're the first person to ever truly hurt me since I was born!"
"Human! Do you even realize that you're desecrating a god? That demands punishment!"
In an instant, the entire space was forced into a rosy-pink hue, and a suffocating pink aura swept over everyone's faces.
...
West City.
Future Bulma looked up at the changed sky, her face full of worry.
Android 16 and Videl also looked up, bewildered by the strange phenomenon.
The formerly dark, blackened sky had transformed into a surreal pink paradise. Beneath that "paradise," however, all that remained was rubble.
This absurd scene sent a chill down Mai's spine.
...
"Not good! Gohan! Quick! Fuse!"
Just as Trunks finished shouting, a blinding pink radiance burst from Black Vegito's body. The explosive aura was so intense that no one could keep their eyes open.
Trunks immediately transformed into his Limit Breaker state, and Gohan powered up to his maximum.
In the next second, however, Black Vegito broke free and transformed into his Pink Form.
BOOM!
The earth shook violently.
Black Vegito vanished and reappeared in an instant, landing a devastating punch that shattered the air itself and struck both Trunks and Gohan squarely.
The brothers were sent flying in unison, and their fusion attempt was disrupted once more.
Then...
Black Vegito's eyes locked onto Bulla.
"Human, you shouldn't possess this kind of power."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and swung, sending out several rosy-pink blades of energy.
The slicing blades tore through the air with a sharp, ripping sound, cutting straight toward Bulla.
Confronted with Black Vegito's sudden surge in power, Bulla's heart skipped a beat. She realized the overwhelming advantage she'd held just moments ago had vanished completely.
"This guy..." Bulla muttered to herself with a flash of surprise and wariness flickering in her eyes.
She could feel the immense aura radiating from Black Vegito. His power had clearly surpassed its earlier level, reaching an entirely new height.
Staring at the energy scythe in his hand that was glowing with razor-sharp sword Ki, Bulla knew she couldn't take it lightly.
"I have to dodge this sword Ki!" She whispered, springing into action immediately. Her silhouette darted through the air with breathtaking speed and agility.
She flipped and spun in midair, completing several full 360-degree rotations and narrowly weaving past each blade that Black Vegito swung at her.
Her movements were fluid, like a graceful dance in the sky.
But Black Vegito wasn't about to relent.
He kept his gaze locked on her, swinging his energy scythe relentlessly, trying to land a decisive blow. Sword Ki crisscrossed the sky, forming a dense web of attacks that left Bulla with almost no room to escape.
"Watch out, Bulla!" Gohan roared.
A Kamehameha shot toward Black Vegito.
The attack forced Black Vegito to halt his technique and turn his head to glare murderously at Gohan.
"Oh? Gohan, I've lost count of how many of you I've killed. In that case, I'll just kill all of you again."
He spun his energy scythe with a deadly flourish, and energy blades erupted in all directions.
Seeing this, Trunks and Gohan were forced to split up.
The three siblings scattered through the sky, dodging the Sword Ki attacks desperately.
But the blades were too fast. One zipped past Trunks' ear, narrowly missing him. His perfectly styled hair became disheveled, and a few strands drifted away in the wind.
Luckily, he survived.
Then, with a crackle and a pop, the sky above them crackled and sparked, drawing all three of their gazes upward.
They had dodged the blades.
But the sky itself wasn't so lucky.
The energy blades had sliced through the heavens, leaving behind a massive rift.
A strange, dark crimson liquid oozed from that rift.
Space itself was torn apart!
Black Vegito stood proudly in the sky, exuding arrogance and disdain as he spoke.
"Do you see now? This is the power of a god. Mortal beings can never hope to reach it."
Black Vegito's Ki flared even more violently, swelling to its peak.
Just as Trunks was about to find an opening to attempt fusion again, the rift that Black Vegito had created in the sky suddenly began to glow brightly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A strange rumbling echoed from within the dimensional fissure. Everyone's eyes locked onto the rift, unsure of what was happening.
Suddenly, two colossal auras surged forth!
One of them was unmistakably the combined power of two warriors.
Those two warriors were none other than Vegeta and Son Goku from Trunks' timeline. The already battered and cracked dimensional wall was pushed to its absolute limit by Black Vegito's attacks.
Shiiing!
In the next instant, the rift shattered like a mirror, ripped apart by their sheer power.
Two fierce combatants burst forth, tearing through dimensions themselves: none other than Gogeta and the legendary Super Broly!
