Chapter 130 - Chapter 124: Famine

The death ball cam hurling down towards Goku, but the Saiyan countered before it could get closer, charging up a Kamehameha. He fired it at the death ball as he pushes it back towards Baby. "You're still not in the game Baby, I'm one step ahead of you."

Baby growled as he put his efforts to push the death ball back down. "I will not lose to a monkey!"

Goku smirked. "Times 10!" A massive surge of energy flew through the Kamehameha as it doubled in strength, pushing the death ball towards Baby.

Baby didn't have time to move, but he smirked putting his hands together. "Final Flash!"

Baby's Final Flash pushed back against the death ball as it was a power struggle Goku was pushing his blast against the death ball as Baby was doing the same. A color of flashes filled the air.

"Why won't you die?!" Baby yelled.

Goku didn't answer. he was starting to struggle. Baby took notice of this as he smirked, applying more energy into his Final Flash. The death ball began to get closer to Goku once more. "Taste defeat Saiayn!"

Goku still wore that smirk on his face, letting the death ball get closer to him.

"Is he mad?" Elder Kai asked from the Supreme Kai world. "If we lose him now, we're all doomed! That boy better figure something out and quick." 

Supreme Kai watched in awe as the crystal ball shined a golden hue color. The death ball had landed and hit Goku, the explosion was huge, it formed a mushroom cloud. Through the smoke, Goku stood there unharmed.

"Ancestor look!" Supreme Kai spoke. "He's still in one piece." 

Elder Kai let out a frustrated sigh. "I swear, he nearly gave me a heart attack!"

"Ugh, why is she not awake yet?" Pan asked crossing her arms. "If she doesn't wake up soon, I'll wake her myself."

Hercule shook his head. "Now, now. Let's not get hasty here Pan. You have to remember, she lost control of herself. Something like that...something to recover from that isn't easy."

Pan groaned throwing her arms up. "If we had a Senzu bean right now it would be easy as pie." Pan stopped as she checked her backpack, rummaging through it. "Um....I think I might have one in here?"

The outside world counited to be hectic and chaotic, the booming of Goku's and Baby's fists colliding with each other sent shockwave after shockwave. Pan fished out a senzu bean from her bag as she held it up. "Ah! I did have one. Huh...must've been in there for a good while..."

"Well, don't just hold it up like a emerald, give it to her.' Hercule spoke.

Pan nodded softly as she brought her hand down, she steps over to where Scarlet was laying at, she gently slipped the bean into her mouth, past her lips. She forced Scarlet to chew and swallow. Backing up, the young half Saiyan waited. "Did it work? Is the bean rotten? Oh no, what if it isn't having any effect?"

Scarlet's eyes twitched her brow furrowed as she groaned. "Fuck you're loud." She sat up slowly, her head throbbing like a drum. "The hell happened?"

"Oh uh...well, you see. You uh, you lost control of yourself." Hercule spoke. "But uh, Goku's here. He's fighting Baby."

Scarlet swung her legs over the side, she glanced at her hands for a moment before clinching her fists tightly. "Do you know who was in control of my body?"

Pan tilts her head to the side. "As far as we know, no one was.."

Scarlet hummed, good it wasn't Primal again. But then what took over? It could've been her Grimm instincts. That was the only plausible explanation, she slowly stood up. 

"How are you feeling though?" Pan asked.

Scarlet was silent for a moment. "..Peachy." She popped her aching bones, her limbs and joints. Her gaze lingered over to where Hercule stood at, seeing him holding Black Rose, she arched an eyebrow up. "You used her?" She let out a scoff. 

"Oh uh...yeah I did, but I didn't know it was out of ammo." Hercule spoke.

Scarlet shook her head. "It's always out. There's no dust around. Unless I manufacture some." She crossed her arms, closing her eyes for a moment. She sniffed the air. "We got company."

Hercule didn't even ask what she meant by that. Instead he handed her Black Rose. "I uh, believe this is yours." 

Pan put her backpack back on, as she looked towards Scarlet. "Company?"

Scarlet didn't say a word, instead she did something she didn't expect to do, she shield both Pan and Hercule, her Nevermore wind had grow out quickly to cover the two. The debris from a ki blast explosion.

"So, this is where you've been hiding." Gohan spoke. "After all this time, you were here, hiding like a bunch of cowards."

Pan froze, the voice of her father came from behind Scarlet. "Papa..."

Scarlet turned her head, but didn't acknowledge Gohan. "Run, both of you." She spoke to Hercule and Pan.

"But-" Hercule spoke, but paused for a moment. "Okay, I know....Pan let's go."

Pan felt a chill go down her spine. "Y-You're not really? But why?"

"Relax, I'm not going to kill him...as much as I want to, I won't." Scarlet spoke turning her attention fully to Gohan.

"Lord Baby." Bulma called from the tower. "I've managed to get you a upper hand on this battle with that Saiyan."

Baby was busy avoiding Goku's punches as he listened. "Have you now? What is it?"

"Blutz Waves, I've managed to make it so that you too can become a giant ape." Bulma spoke.

Baby was silent, why would he want to? Wait, of course. He was in Vegeta's body, he could just control the ape. "Perfect, how does it work?"

"Look towards the tower my lord." Bulma spoke.

Goku was about to land a hard gut punch on Baby, but Baby turned his attention towards the tower, satellite like dishes glowed as they generated the Blutz Waves, sending them straight to Baby. Goku stopped as he took notice of this, the way Baby's body began to morph and change into a great ape.

"Damn it, now what?" Goku muttered.

Once the light show was done Baby, who was now in his grate ape form landed on the ground, and began pounding his chest. "Now this is the advantage I need."

Back with Scarlet, she scratched Gohan across the face with her nails. Gohan flanked back as he landed a round house kick across her face, sending her spiraling through the air. She crashed hard, she was weak again. This wasn't how this was supposed to play out, what was wrong with her body?

"Tch, damn it all." Scarlet scoffed. "Weak, again? Why?" She stood up as she pondered for a moment. "I wonder...." A thought crossed her mind for a spilt moment. 

Gohan came flying towards her, before her could land a punch on him, shadow arms rose up and wrapped around him. "What the?"

Scarlet snickered. "Good, this is good." She looked at Gohan for a moment, a shadow hand clasped over Gohan's mouth and another two over his ears. "Hey old man, you hear me?"

Elder Kai was baffled, how dare she call him that. But he did indeed hear her. "Humph, you have some nerve, but yes I hear you."

Scarlet's eyes glowed as she grins. "Good, listen up. You're supposed to be Godly and all, so why haven't you found a curse, water perhaps? To kill the parasite. Unless you'd prefer I wake up Beerus the destroyer?"

Supreme Kai pondered. "Oh right! The Sacred water, in the lookout tower, if I can find it..."

"Then it can cure everyone. Just don't get Beerus involved..." Elder Kai muttered. "I'm not even going to ask how you know of him."

Supreme Kai teleported from the Supreme Kai world and to the Lookout tower, thus began his search for the sacred water. While Hercule and Pan fled to another safe area, if all possible. Scarlet held Gohan at bay, watching him struggle in the shadow arms that held him place, while Goku struggled to fight a giant ape that was Baby.
