Tales of the Xenoverse

What if Turles Survived the Spirit Bomb?

Turles stared down the Tree of Might, enjoying one of its many fruits, before letting out a frustrated sigh. While it was certainly good that the tree had been successfully grown, with a bountiful harvest no less, the collateral loss would take time to recover. As weak as the rest of Earth's defenses was, one of them, a Saiyan no less, had been powerful enough to not only down all of his men, but even give him a decent run for his money.

Turles took the final bite of his fruit, before shaking his head.

At least with all of them defeated, he could begin the process of harvesting the fruits, and bringing them into his ship. It would certainly take some time, considering the countless number of the fruits, but at the very least, Turles could say that all the trouble he had gone through was worth it. More Crusher Corps could be found, but the Fruit of Might had been his one goal for many years, and now it was finally his.

"Turles!" a voice behind him shouted, snapping him out of his thoughts.

It was the Saiyan from before! Kakarot!

He turned around to face the Saiyan, gritting his teeth in frustration.

"Not you again..." he growled. "How did this happen?"

"I have the power of nature inside..."

Turles rolled his eyes.

How cute. He had the 'power of nature'.

It didn't matter, now with his Fruits, even Lord Frieza would beg him for mercy. It didn't matter what 'power' he had, in mere moments, he'd have all the power in the universe-

Within seconds, Turles' scouter reacted to a powerful energy, one coming from Goku. But it wasn't his energy, it couldn't have been. Suddenly the scouter shattered, before a blue aura of energy began to surround Goku's fist, before launching straight for Turles.

In your universe, as well as many others, Turles would attempt to overpower the Spirit Bomb, before being overwhelmed and meeting his end. However, this is where the Divergence takes place in this universe. In a rare act of fear, instead of attempting to overpower the Spirit Bomb, Turles would dodge it, saving his own life... but at the cost of the Tree of Might.

The tree detonated in seconds, each of its fruits erupting into nothing, as the leaves melted into pure energy, which scattered everywhere, returning to the Earth and reviving the planet.

Turles' jaw dropped, as he watched the undoing of his life's work. After the years he spent, the risks he had taken to find that seed, and the years of trial and error, as he searched for a suitable planet. All of that hard work... for nothing.

He turned to Goku, glaring at him.

Because of him.

"You..." Turles growled, vitriol dripping from his voice. "Do you have any idea what you've just done..?"

Panting hard, Goku said nothing, only letting out a small chuckle, as he wiped some excess blood from his mouth.

Gritting his teeth, Turles dashed straight for Goku, slamming his fist into the Saiyan's stomach with a powerful uppercut.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Turles roared.

Continuing his rage-induced beatdown, Turles threw several more punches at Goku's face, eventually sending Goku to the ground; his face now in the Tree of Might's rotted roots.

Flying over Goku's body, Turles brought his hands together, before forming a ring of orange energy, then throwing it down to finish off Goku.

"Kill Driver!" Turles shouted, as he fired the attack.
