Chapter 117 - Trouble

After her initial outburst, Kale started to assault Darc even more savagely than before.

More and more instinctual attacks started to appear in her attack pattern. What looked like a simple and straightforward assault became more intricate and defined by the second.

But coupled with her berserk state it also became more dangerous as well. Darc even started to dodge some of her fast and powerful swings.

Intercepting them would be troublesome. He could do it but would receive some kind of damage just even trying.

That didn't mean he stopped countering her open spots that came to his view. The thing was that every time he hit one and damaged her she just started to shrug it off when hit another time.

His hits became so weak in her eyes that at some point she didn't even flinch at all. Her muscles and build became more defined the longer this fight went on. Even her height increased somewhat.

When Darc tried out a combination attack after finding another opening it was already no use.

"Getting sturdier, are we? Then I will just hit harder." This Goku logic was really something he normally would not try out. But he was already being influenced by that bit of personality that defined his fusion counterpart Dark.

So after his words, he actually delivered immediately and activated Kaioken x2. With a well-placed kick from above, he sent Kale into the ground.

Fissures appeared near the impact zone and massive plates of crust shot upward destabilizing every person's footing close by until they had to fly into the sky to dodge the chaos.

Darc also did the same and waited for Kale to reappear. He could after all still sense her underneath the dirt.

It did not take long and a magnificent pillar of pure green energy erupted from the hole where Kale disappeared into. The air gave way and started to build up typhoons. The sky darkened and lightning flashed around.

The friction in the air even gave Darc a goosebump all over his body.

'It is about time, huh. Finally made that breakthrough. Now let me see what I am going to handle later. Just a glimpse should be enough and then I can put her back to sleep.', thought Darc with a smirk.

But that smile disappeared right after Kale appeared in front of him and grabbed his head to push him through the air into the direction of the surface.

'Shit! That increase in speed and power is too high!!!', he cursed all the while feeling the small cuts on his back the air produced through being dashed so hard.

Being slam-dunked into the ground like a basketball Darc grit his teeth through all the pain he felt at this moment. It was not that much of a problem with his defense.

But he still had to cough out some internal damage. That was all because his back came crashing down on the Dragonball that resided at the core.

He was a fool to underestimate the LSSJ's might. And being unlucky and hit the surface of that Dragonball. Its hardness was unbelievable. How did that twat Zamasu even manage to destroy them?

Never minding that Darc had to concentrate on the speed increase of Kale. It was already at a very monstrous point.

He charged up some energy and also entered his superstate intercepting the onslaught of punches that Kale was furiously delivering to him after she reached him again.

Above ground, the planet was already shacking in its entirety.

"Is that really Kale!?", asked a still shocked Caulifla.

"I wonder how Darc always ends up in such situations. Is he going to use it?", mumbled Whis while holding Caulifla in a bubble he created around them.

Back inside the core filled with magma, both fighters were furiously exchanging kicks and punches at each other. Even a few ki blasts were shot around but most of the time it was up close and personal. Reason being Kale always closed any gaps that were created by Darc.

'She is way more dangerous than that braindead old Broly. I don't want to even imagine how the actual Broly will be like. Him being a male should already naturally put him above her. Okay, I think I should end it before this fight kills everyone on the surface.'

With that thought, Darc entered his second stage. He grabbed her the same way she did and reversed the dash from beneath the ground to the sky.

Shooting through the air a green and orange corona traveled to the stratosphere.

Kale did still attack sometimes but her energy was already getting low. No matter how powerful you are. If your energy just runs out you are just being a glass cannon.

That made it a lot easier for Darc.

Putting a strong knee attack to her abdomen forced her to arch her body forward. Exactly at that point, Darc hammered her neck with both hands and cannonballed her back to the surface.

Kale just fell unconscious after that attack and was only falling straight downward. Before she hit the ground without her energy protecting her, Darc appears beside her and caught the fall softly.

The atmosphere also started to stabilize. But the artificial planet would still soon blow up only leaving the Dragonball.

He flew to Whis and nodded at him. Whis just smacked his scepter in the air as if knowing what to do.

The planets condition reset itself back to the time 7 minutes prior. That was still the time when he entertained Caulifla.

Sighing he let go of Kale that limply fell to the ground.

"What did you do to Kale!?" Caulifla ran over and inspected her after being free now.

"She ain't dead. Anyway, time is up. What's it gonna be?" Just at that moment, the scepter he put a timer on made an annoying alarm sound.

Caulifla just glared at him "Fine...we will leave."

At her word, she felt some movement in her arms. "Caulifla Onee-san...I..." It was Kale speaking in an exhausted voice.

"Shut up and take a rest.", interrupted Caulifla.

"...Are you angry with me? Will you throw me out?", asked Kale again and her expression became teary.

Caulifla saw that and grinned. "Why would I throw out my protegee. You were amazing Kale! So strong! You gotta teach me that flashy move of yours."

Kale her eyes trembled slightly in happiness.

"Ehem, I am still here, you know?", smirked Darc.

He disengaged his superstate and did some light stretches. His body was creaking with bones snapping back into their most favorable position

.

"You!" Kale tried to get up but felt very weak. "After all the humiliation you did and..."

"Enough, Kale. We will move...", said Caulifla and stopped Kale from doing more stupid things. Clearly, this man was not simple. But given time they would surpass him for sure.

At that moment Whis joined the conversation. "You know, I could just retrieve the Dragonball out without destroying the planet, right?"

Darc stared at him. Why the hell did he not say that earlier?

Well, Darc did want to touch the Dragonball to transfer it. So it was somewhat his fault.

"Right...Then do that please."

"But that breast groping I can not erase from their minds. The time reverse was already used up."

When Whis mentioned that Caulifla became somewhat red again and Kale furious.

"On whose side are you exactly?" Darc sighed. "Okay listen. I just did that to make her angry. I can feel a lot of potential in her." Then he pointed at Caulifla. "You as well but you lack proper guidance. Anyway, to make it even clearer. I am already married so if you fell for me that won't do. I will have to deny you szraight away."

"Who the hell would fall for you!?", rebuked Caulifla. Kale watched her and noticed that she behaved somewhat differently. That made her worried that he was actually right. Her angry intensified more when she thought her sister would be taken by this guy!

"Who knows. I heard that Saiyan woman like strong mates.", replied Darc nonchalantly.

Both Caulifla and Kale realized that he was actually not joking around anymore.

"You know that we are Saiyan?", asked Caulifla again. It was actually not widely spread that they were of that race. Most of her underlings didnt even know since Saiyan here were associated with law enforcement.

"Sure, alone her transformation a moment ago proves it." Darc ponted at Kale and just shrugged it off. He wanted to leave now.

But as his luck was rotten as always there was another voice disrupting them.

"I see. So you want to steal something from my Universe, is it?"

Darc his pupils shrank and he looked at the person that said those words. He was not alone but accompanied by a female with blue skin and white hair in a ponytail.

It was Champa and Vados.

"Nice to meet you, Champa...Lady Vados..."

Vados started to smile and nodded. She was happy to see her brother back alive. Champa, on the other hand, did not like anything of this.

For him it was a good thing he acted immediately after Vados told him that someone was emitting destruction energy.
