Tales of the Xenoverse

What if Piccolo Fought Super 17?

Goku recoiled in pain, the last hit from Super 17 had hurt. A lot. He could barely move, and worse, he was running out of options. Any blast he hit him with, he'd only get stronger... This was bad.

"Flesh and blood organisms... So delicate and frail, I'd ask for my money back, if I were you..." Dr. Myuu taunted, as Super 17 prepared his next attack.

Holding out both harms, Super 17 brought his hands together, before forming a black ball of energy, which crackled with red lightning.

Goku grit his teeth as he eyed the blast.

"What is that?" he asked.

As if to answer his question, Super 17 fired the attack straight for him.

"Electro Eclipse Bomb!"

Goku felt his heartbeat race, as the massive energy wave drew closer and closer to him.

"Everyone's counting on me..." he thought to himself.

With all the energy he could muster, Goku rose back to his feet. "I can't give up!"

Using the explosion of energy as a cover up, Goku teleported behind Super 17, quickly grabbing hold of him and trapping him in a tight bearhug; even going as far as to use his legs to restrain the Android.

"What? How?" Super 17 roared in disbelief. "You were done for!"

"That wasn't too smart... It was a nice attack, but it provided me the perfect cover..." Goku replied, a bit of a chuckle in his voice. "Now, you can't attack me as long as I have you in this hold! Give it up, 17!"

Dr. Myuu stroked his mustache. "Yes, but I think you're forgetting something... You can't attack him, either! It's a stalemate!"

Dr. Myuu froze.

"Unless-!"

Goku finished the thought. "Unless, I'm willing to die with him!"

"You wouldn't dare, would you?"

"I sure would! Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of dying, but if that's the only way to stop you from hurting people, I'll do it!"

The fear running through Dr. Myuu's body was only surpassed by that of Super 17's, who quickly began to shift and shake like a misbehaving child.

"Let go of me! Are you crazy?" he begged.

"What's the matter? You only want to play the game if you're winning?" Goku roared, his anger flaring up once more. "Is that it?"

Super 17 screamed in a mixture of fear and anger, but would be silenced by Goku's own scream.

"17, I won't let you kill anymore!"

Goku's aura began to glow brightly, beginning to generate millions of white specks of energy that would surround the both of them, before finally, each one erupted like a supernova, a massive explosion covering the entire landscape.

An incredible display of power, indeed, but unfortunately, it would fail in destroying the Super Android. However, in this timeline, it would not have been for complete naught, as Goku's massive surge of power would alert the presence of another.

"Could it be over?" Goku asked himself, now weakened, and in his child body once more.

Goku's question would be answered by a bright yellow energy rising from the ocean, the source revealing himself to be Super 17, who was tattered, but alive.

"...Nope, definitely not."

Super 17 chuckled to himself. "You didn't make the grade as a kamikaze... I guess you can blame me for that because the shield I put up kept you alive as well!"
