Sorbet stood amidst the devastation, his golden aura crackling around him like a tempest. Despite Bell's imposing arrival, his arrogance hadn't diminished. Instead, he sneered at the gathered warriors.
"You think this changes anything?" Sorbet taunted. "You're all just insects scrambling under a golden god!"
The Z-Fighters tensed, preparing for a possible attack, but before anyone could respond, a sharp, angry voice cut through the tension.
"Who are you calling insects, you glittery lizard?!"
All eyes turned to see Chichi and Bulma stepping forward, their faces alight with indignation. Chichi cracked her knuckles while Bulma placed her hands on her hips, her blue eyes blazing.
"Excuse me?!" Bulma shouted. "You think you can just waltz in here, destroy my planet, and insult us? Think again!"
"Ladies," Piccolo coughed, still recovering from the earlier fight, "I don't think this is a good idea—"
But Bulma and Chichi were already advancing.
"You stay out of this, Piccolo," Chichi snapped. "This overgrown gecko needs to be taught some manners!"
Whis tilted his head, intrigued. "Oh my, this should be entertaining."
Beerus smirked. "The Saiyan women have spirit. I almost pity that fool."
Chichi and Bulma flared their God Ki, their power creating shockwaves that caused the ground to quake. While they weren't as strong as the Saiyan warriors, their mastery of God Ki and sheer determination made them forces to be reckoned with.
Chichi lunged first, her speed catching Sorbet off guard. Her fist connected with his jaw, sending him stumbling backward.
"What the—?!" Sorbet growled, wiping blood from his lip.
Bulma followed up, blasting him with a concentrated energy beam. "That's for calling me an insect!"
The two women worked in tandem, their fury fueling their attacks. Chichi's martial arts prowess combined with Bulma's strategic use of energy blasts forced Sorbet onto the defensive.
"I… will not… be humiliated by women!" Sorbet roared, his aura flaring.
"Oh, we're just getting started!" Chichi retorted, delivering a spinning kick to his midsection.
Realizing he was being overwhelmed, Sorbet let out a primal scream. His golden aura intensified, shifting to a deeper hue. His muscles bulged, and his energy skyrocketed.
"What's happening?" Tien shouted, shielding his eyes from the blinding light.
"He's pushing himself beyond his limits," Whis observed, his tone calm but serious. "This could be troublesome."
When the light faded, Sorbet stood taller, his golden form now more radiant and menacing. His power dwarfed his previous state.
"Behold!" Sorbet declared, his voice echoing. "You now face Evolved Golden Sorbet! Prepare to die!"
Despite the immense power radiating from Sorbet, Chichi and Bulma refused to back down. They charged in again, but their attacks now had little effect. Sorbet swatted them away like flies, sending them crashing into the ground.
"No!" cried Linger and Goten in unison. The two young Saiyans fused into their warrior form, Gotlinger, and flew into the fray.
"Hey, goldilocks!" Gotlinger taunted. "You think you're tough? Let's see how you handle this!"
Gotlinger unleashed a barrage of attacks, including his infamous Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack, but Sorbet shrugged them off effortlessly. With a single punch, he sent the fusion flying.
As Gotlinger defused, Goku and Vegeta stepped forward, their expressions serious.
"Looks like we have to clean up this mess," Vegeta said, cracking his knuckles.
Goku nodded. "Let's take him down together."
Both Saiyans powered up, their auras erupting into brilliant flames of blue as they ascended into Super Saiyan Blue. The battlefield trembled under the weight of their combined power.
Sorbet smirked. "You think you can defeat me? I've surpassed Frieza himself!"
"We've heard that one before," Goku replied, his tone light but firm.
The battle was intense. Sorbet's newfound power gave him an edge, but Goku and Vegeta's experience and teamwork began to tip the scales. They coordinated their attacks perfectly, each covering the other's weaknesses.
As the fight reached its climax, Vegeta created an opening with a devastating Final Flash, which left Sorbet vulnerable. Goku seized the opportunity, gathering energy for a powerful Kamehameha.
"Ka… me… ha… me… HAAAA!"
The combined attacks struck Sorbet head-on, overwhelming his defenses. With a final scream, his golden form shattered, and he collapsed to the ground, defeated.
The battlefield was silent as the dust settled. Chichi and Bulma, battered but unbroken, approached Goku and Vegeta.
"About time you two showed up," Chichi said, brushing dirt off her clothes.
"You were amazing," Goku replied, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
Bulma smirked. "Of course we were. Someone has to keep this planet safe while you guys are off training."
Whis and Beerus descended, the latter yawning. "That was mildly entertaining," Beerus said.
Bell approached the group, his calm demeanor masking his relief. "Well done, everyone. Earth is safe… for now."
As they prepared to return home, the Z-Fighters couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of camaraderie. Together, they had faced insurmountable odds and emerged victorious.
