"Are you guys ready?"

"Ready Lucy," Goku said, finishing his stretches.

"Open, Gate of the Maiden!"

"Yes Princess," Virgo said as she appeared.

"Can you to drill us a tunnel underneath this barrier?" Lucy asked quickly.

"Of course, follow me," Virgo dove down. Goku and Vegeta jumped in after her. Lucy signaled to Erza and followed.


"NOW!" Erza shouted.

"Fire Dragon,"

"Iron Dragon, ROAR!" The two Dragon Slayers let out a powerful blast. While it wasn't able to punch through the barrier, it triggered a massive explosion.

"If that doesn't get her attention, I don't know what will," Elfman said. A hundred of the dog creatures poured out of the cracks and holes in the tree.

"You just had to open your mouth," Gray muttered.


"I am not leaving you!" Lucy shouted.

"This fight will far exceed your capabilities. You'll only get yourself killed." Vegeta said bluntly.

"I don't care! I don't know how it works in your world, but in Fairy Tail, friends will help each other no matter the danger!" Lucy's fist was trembling with anger.

"Would you like me to punish them for insubordination?" Virgo asked calmly.

"WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE!" Lucy screamed, closing her gate.

"Ok, you can come," Goku said.

"Kakarot,"

"Any help is good help Vegeta," Goku said, cutting him off. Vegeta just turned away. Goku turned to the tree and kneeled. "Climb on Lucy."

"Why?" She asked, worriedly.

"We're gonna fly up to an entrance." Lucy nervously wrapped her arms around Goku's neck. "Hang on!" The two Saiyans rocketed upwards and through a large crack near the top.


Natsu and Videl ended up back to back.

"These guys just keep coming," Nastu grunted as they were slowly surrounded.

"At least they go down easily," Videl said as she sent one flying.

"Get down!" Videl hit the dirt as Natsu leaped up. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu blasted away the crowd of creatures.

"Nice job! Now let's go help the others!" The two ran back towards the heavy fighting to find Elfman, in his Beast Soul, being overwhelmed by numerous creatures.

"Elfman, hang on!" Natsu shouted. Videl flew ahead and tackled two off of his back. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu knocked four away with one attack. Elfman was then easily able to knock the rest away.

"Thanks, guys," Elfman said as he reverted back to normal.

"Don't tell me you're tired already," Natsu chuckled.

"A real man never gets tired!" He bellowed.

"All right then, let's get back to it!" Natsu ran off with Elfman and Videl right behind.


"You can let go now Lucy," Goku said. Lucy opened her eyes. The inside of the tree was more akin to a city than a living organism. They were in a massive hallway, with large rooms and chambers carved into the wood. Vegeta, not waiting for the others, took off down the hall. "Come on Lucy, we better keep up," As they ran through the tree, they passed a library, a supply chamber, and a dormitory.

"This place gives me the creeps," Lucy said. Two of the dog creatures jumped them, but Vegeta blasted them away without stopping. "Where are we even going?" Lucy asked.

"The girl's energy is this way," Vegeta said.

"You mean Levy?"

"Yeah while I can't pinpoint her exact location for Instant Transmission, we can tell which way she is."

"HALT!" Ino dropped from the ceiling. "You go no further. I have a score to settle with Miss Blondey here."

"You guys go on ahead. I got this." Lucy said, stepping forward.

"Ok, good luck!" Goku said. He and Vegeta rocketed away.

I've got this. Taurus made quick work of it last time.


Goku and Vegeta flew through the tree at top speed. They both sensed the massive power that had appeared further down the hall. Out of nowhere, two ki blasts came hurtling at them. They easily batted them away. Tunder and a woman blocked a doorway. The woman wore a black gi. She had short, spiky, black hair. A scar ran down her left cheek

"You're not entering the headquarters." Tunder bellowed.

"Dude, we weren't supposed to say that!" The woman said, clocking him over the head.

"We weren't?" He said.

"You know what, why do I even bother. Now, what was I going to say, oh, yes, I was going to thank you."

"Thank us?" Goku said, perplexed.

"What the hell do you have to thank us for? We've never even met before! Who are you!" Vegeta shouted. The woman smiled.

"For your memories. There is no time to explain now, but just know you let me reach this level." The woman let out a scream and went Super Saiyan.

"Y-your a Saiyan?" Vegeta managed.

"Yes. I am Peppira, THE TRUE SUPER SAIYAN!" Peppira charged forward and smashed Vegeta through the wall.

"Well, it's just you and me, Son Goku." Tunder roared and turned golden.

"Ah, so you can do that too." Goku went Super Saiyan God in response and charged.
