Chapter 99: Forgiveness Pt. 8: The Final, Final, FINAL Battle

5:00 A.M. Monika's POV

"...Yuri?" I ask.

"Yes?" Yuri asks, looking to me.

"...I think it's time." I respond.

"A-Already?" Yuri stutters.

"Well... I give it, like, a minute, tops." I respond.

"What are you two whispering about?" Bardock asks, arms crossed.

I look to him before smiling innocently.

"We think this might be the final bout with Other Monika and her copies." I respond.

"Well, it's about time she decided to put on her tryhard panties and did something." Vegeta snaps.

Caulifla, Kale, Gine and Selypa walk down the stairs.

"What're you bitches talking about?" Selypa asks.

"Nice to see you too, Fasha." I respond.

"...my name's Selypa." Selypa responds.

"Not in Japan. Anyhow, we were talking about how Other Monika might finally be ready to take us on." I explain, and Caulifla instantly smirks, hair flowing.

"I've been waiting for a real challenge!" Caulifla exclaims.

"What about me when we were in the Tournament?" Goku asks.

"A real challenge." Caulifla reiterates, making Goku sink lower in his seat, but his smile doesn't leave his face.

"You must be SUPER strong if I wasn't a challenge!" Goku exclaims.

"You're damn right, I'm strong. And a handful of other Saiyans capable of going Super Saiyan in the same room? That's more than enough." Caulifla explains.

"I can do it too, it's just... different." Yang responds, stroking a sleeping Blake's head on her lap.

"Different how?" Shallot asks.

"I have to get my Semblance ready or it doesn't work." Yang explains.

"Semblance?" Toma asks.

"Think of it as a superpower. Yang gets stronger with every hit, and she can direct that kinetic energy wherever she wants." Weiss explains.

"That sounds like it could backfire in the worst way possible." Raditz responds.

Yang's arm glitches to her robot arm for a second before going back to normal.

"It... has. But Monika helped with that." Yang explains.

"What happened?" Goku asks.

"Blake's ex... he was the leader of a rogue Faunus group called the 'White Fang'. Blake was a part of that group at the time of her dating him. Next thing you know, he's destroyed half a town and attacking her. I find them, I lash out, rush to them and..." Yang explains, trembling. "...my arm was cut off..."

"Then how did you get it back in the first place?" Pumbukin asks.

"General Ironwood, the top cat at Atlas, or Technology Central, made me a prosthetic arm as an apology. Then, in the past, I was sent here. Monika aged all four of us up, and... she brought my arm back." Yang explains in a soft voice, unlike the brash and joking Yang we all know and love.

"...do you need a hug?" Sayori asks, and Nappa scoffs.

"If this bothers her to the point of trembling like a leaf, then she needs to face her fears and kill that guy." Nappa explains.
