Goku gritted his teeth, feeling the ground rumble beneath, as the monster in front of him took step after step, each one threatening to crush his granddaughter right beneath his feet.
"Baby..!" he roared, bringing his hands together to his side, preparing to form a Kamehameha. His body screamed for him to stop, but he forced himself to ignore it.
Meanwhile, the Golden Great Ape only growled as a response.
Goku narrowed his eyes. "One inch closer, and I'll blast you so hard, my last attack... will feel like a tickle! Leave her out of this! This is where the battle is!"
Baby finally snapped back.
"You're bluffing! I'll bet you're using all the energy you have just to stand up! Do your worst!"
With that, Baby took another step closer to Pan; making Goku's heartbeat race faster in fear and panic; the Super Saiyan 4 transformation making his blood boil more than he had ever known.
"Baby, this is your last warning! Stay away! Or die!" Goku growled, and yet, it only hurt more to try and force the ki into his hands.
Despite all this, Baby took yet another step, before finally raising his foot, holding it over Pan.
Goku hissed. "This ends now! Kamehame..."
Baby began to lower his foot, making Pan scramble backwards.
"Uh... Grandpa..?"
"Ha!"
Shooting both hands forward in a gamble, Goku would perk up slightly, as a beam of energy indeed slammed into Baby, throwing him backwards, albeit only a bit.
"Looks like that miracle... came just in time..." he muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Pan uncovered her eyes, revealing the true source of the blast: Trunks.
"Boy, did that feel good..! I've felt a little pent up lately..."
Baby hissed in anger, picking himself up while shouting back.
"Fool! I'm your master! What have you done?!"
"You're not my master! You controlled my body like a puppet, nothing more!"
Standing up fully, Baby only shouted back.
"We were going to unite the universe! No more individuals fighting one another! Everyone would have been of one mind!"
Trunks only narrowed his eyes: taking flight.
"People have to choose that! You can't achieve it by taking away their free will!"
With that, Trunks let out a mighty shout, transforming into a Super Saiyan, and racing straight for Baby. Despite his bravery, as Goku would note, it would prove pointless.
"That's not enough, Trunks! You can't beat him in that state! Don't do it!"
Powering up to his highest, Trunks raced for Baby, smacking the Great Ape repeatedly in the face, before uppercutting him straight in the chin, admittedly throwing the Tuffle's head backward.
"Have you no respect for your father's body, Trunks?" Baby taunted.
The revelation made Trunks freeze, allowing Baby to slam his head back downwards; smacking Trunks with his chin and sending him to the ground, where Baby would pin him on the ground with his foot, crushing him.
Screaming in pain, Trunks powered down, before shouting back at the Tuffle.
"Why did you say that about my father?"
