Dragon Ball: Super and Beyond (OLD VERSION!)

Goku's Risky Decision! A Deciding Battle Between 6 and 7 Begins!

Proceeding From Last Chapter.......

Kuzuku took a glance at the remaining particles of universe 4. He didn't say a word, only walking a tad bit away from the edge of the ring. He looked around, searching for a particular Ki before anyone finds him. He clutched his gut, feeling another wave of pain take over. Stumbling forward a bit, he managed to keep himself straight all the while finding what he was looking for, "That last attack really did it's damage all right. If I didn't create a barrier around myself in the last second then I would of been done for.". Kuzuku placed two fingers on his forehead, teleporting to the Ki that he was locking on to. He found himself in a area that wasn't much different to the many other parts of the ring. Destroyed rubble, the smell of smoke and explosion polluting the air, scorched ground, nothing felt any different. He looked around, wondering if he made a mistake and teleported to the wrong place. His eyes darted left and right, searching to the point where it looked like he was looking for nothing. That was until he spotted a person embedded in a boulder. Quickly, he ran over to her in no time. With care, he pulled her out of the rubble, wrapping his arms around her body before gently laying her on the ground.

Kuzuku cringed at the damage he saw. Numerous bruises that had nearly fade due to her accelerated and the trail of blood streaming across her nose and face though It seemed that the wound had dried up. Kuzuku cupped her cheek, forcing a little bit of his Ki at a time to wake her. Slowly, her eyes began to open from his warmth. Once his figure was full visible to her, she shot up with wide eyes. Kuzuku nearly fell back a bit but without hesitation he hugged her back despite the pain he was feeling. They pulled away, looking into each others eyes, smiling at the fact that they were not in any serious danger.

"I'm glad you're alright 21. At first, I thought you weren't judging from the injuries you received but the energy you just displayed was all the proof I needed," Kuzuku noted.

21, pouted at his words, "You doubted my capabilities? I would have you know that I can recover faster at short periods of times.". Kuzuku chuckled rubbing his head at the lightness of their conversation.

"Sorry, but isn't it just natural for me to be worried about you?" Kuzuku asked, trying to justify his concerns. 21 was about to argue back until she noticed Kuzuku's condition. Her face dropped, confusing the Saiyan as to why until he caught her staring at his stomach. The severe wound was so obvious to anyone who've been in the medical field.

The Saiyan looked at 21 nervously, "Oh, this? Well, that guy I fought was really strong and I let my guard down for a second. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt as much as it looks and it was completely my fault.". 21 didn't buy into his self-blame, only beginning to heal the most amount of damage that she could at this moment. She placed her hands on his stomach and focused, a pink glow easing the pain while accelerating healing.

"21, what about you........?" Kuzuku muttered, while waiting for her to finish.

21 gave him a smile of assurance, "I'll be fine. I'm just making sure I heal this wound of yours first before you are forced to fight again. I won't be able to restore your strength the same way I did with Goku but at least you'll be capable of holding your own.". With that said she was finished, taking a deep breath from the energy she expended. Kuzuku placed his shirt back own though leaving his Gi at his waist line due to it being unwearable in its condition.

"Thank you, 21. If you'd like, I can give you company until you are good to fight again?" Kuzuku offered.

She shook her head, denying his request respectfully. The majin got up, placing a fist at her husband's chest, "It's fine. I'll just be monitoring the fights from the shadows. You should go and help the others if needed but if things get too drastic, you need to get out of there.". Kuzuku nodded, only to step pass her with a smirk on his face.
