“ Ame… Are you sure we should even be here….” - Light steps echo through Kronii Laboratory's halls at one of the corner turns.
While whoever was walking inside the Lab did so, battles that shook everything around the Dimension took place outside the barrier put on by the Warden of Time.
“ Don't worry much about it, Gura! Whoever is facing those guys must be having a hard time, also! - *Grins* -, The old hag did raise a barrier so her stuff wouldn't be damaged by accident, so we can wander around just fine!”
A second set of steps seems to take a few jumpy steps ahead of the other lighter ones as both of them turn the hall. Finally giving us a clear view of them now.
Amelia Briefs, having a shit-eating grin as her newly fixed Watch hung by her white long-sleeved shirt's chest, the blonde had just gotten her clothes back from the Lab's laundry.
However, walking close behind her was someone who was wearing a casual white shirt and shorts she found in the Laundry since hers was drowned in sweat. A very wary Gura Briefs, who was thoughtful if they would be fine.
With each passing second the sounds and rumbles would increase in size and magnitude so it was hard to tell who was fighting who, and even those winning was difficult to convey as these two had just started their Godly training with Mumei and weren't able to feel Divine Ki's.
“ Soo… Where we were going again?” - Tilting her head slightly, Gura watches as Amelia turns around in a strange overly proud pose, before she points an index at her younger companion.
“ FOOD! “ - The answer confused even more the white-head.
“ Uhh, couldn't we just take some from the city later when everything goes back to normal though?” - Still tilting her head, Gura couldn't really understand her blonde cousin.
And yes, these two are strangely cousins. Bulma and Tights, their mothers, are sisters after all.
Even though they are from different Timelines and all, they still are Family. And once Amelia realized that a few weeks ago she did start trying to act as a role model of sorts, though anyone with a bit of common sense knows that isn't the best of ideas.
Clicking her tongue, Ame walks to Gura’s side and sneaks a hand behind the white-haired sharky, taking hold of her shoulder as she explains the ‘why’, all while waving her free arm around to make it seem like what she was explaining was of the most importance.
“ You see, you might be used to just good-old regular food. But! There's something quite interesting about Kronii's. These are the highest quality stuff that one would offer to Gods and Above! And we are safe inside here, so let's go already. I'm hungry.”
Slapping her hand by Gura's shoulder a few times and then the back of her head one time, Ame takes the lead in getting back to walking, not wanting to fall behind, the youngest also stumbles forward. - “ Okay! Just so ya know, it's not my fault if they scold you later!”
Laughing it off while waving her hand left and right, Amelia just walks away mumbling. - “ Yeah, Yeah. Whatever you say.” - Making Gura puff her cheeks in a pout of frustration.
“ YOUU!!!.... *Sigh*....” - Still annoyed, the short girl follows the smug blondey in her stroll through the large halls all the way to the main room where the Warden did her Experiments.
It had a pretty large sign written - ‘ Kronii's Main Study room ‘ - And under it there was also a smaller warning. - ‘ Also, Mumei please call before knocking, you're not the one who keeps needing to fix these doors! - Having a ‘ Ps ’ in front of it that said it was from Kronii herself.
Both cousins stop for a moment as they are about to laugh at the sign, though their smiles are quickly broken apart upon seeing the door is ever so slightly open.
“ Old Hag Kronii wouldn't leave her stuff open even if it was a centimeter…. Mumei would explode it upon fucking contact with her hand.… Kro and Fauna are outside…. - *Looks at Gura* - Who then?”
Sweating, Ame gulps down a lump that was on her throat as the shorter girl also tenses up. Both of them jolt up hearing a strange angered animalistic grumble followed by the sound of papers being tossed around coming from inside the room.
Both of them look at each other for a second before trying to take a peek inside the room.
What they saw got their heart racing, well Gura did so because the thing was not like anything she has ever seen…. As for Amelia…
Oh, she knew what that thing was, even if its skin and armored parts were in a different color. She was very well aware of who this 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 was as she did see some videos of Time Patrollers having a hard time against him when he won a battle that was supposed to be lost once.
“ * Whispers* You gotta be kidding…. Freaking Janemba…. And why is he rummaging through Kronii's stuff..” - Being careful as to not shout, Ame’s voice could be noticed to tremble a bit.
Gura was about to ask what she meant when her hand was caught in the blonde’s grasp. Making a sharp turn Ame started to glide away at high speeds while making sure the sound of them leaving would be little to none.
At first, being dragged through the air from her arm, Gura tapped the one holding her arm to let go and soon started to also fly alongside Amelia. - “ Who was that ugly face?... Or even better, what he even was to begin with?”
Gasping a bit for air from all the tension that she had accumulated, Ame looked at the sharky wanting to eat her words. - “ Evil Incarnated, not a metaphor or whatever you might think. Physically, and Literally Evil incarnated that we can't even think of handling right now.”
Speeding through the halls they walked, the younger Saiyan hybrid pondered for a second using all her might. - “ Is he that strong? How did he enter, to begin with- “
“ Like we did, before Kronii set up the barrier. You too saw the room was open before we even arrived, as for how strong? Think of us right now as a base example.” - Not stopping her flight, Ame waited to see if Gura followed her words and train of thought.
“ What about it? You can go Super, I too if I try hard enough….” - Words carrying a bit of sadness, she had no room left in her head to feel sad upon hearing of Ame’s words.
Laughing tensely, Amelia raised three fingers towards Gura as they flew, only receiving a confusing look back. - “ Even a Super Saiyan Three Goku-san with a hell of a lot more experience than me couldn't beat that guy alongside a Super Saiyan Two Vegeta-san helping him, a version of your father that was hundreds of times stronger…. They had to fuse to be able to handle the guy… So… You think we could pull off something, shorty?”
Shocked at the new discovery, Gura, who still hadn't mastered even the first level of Super Saiyan, was at a loss for words. Lowering her head as she let those words sink in she continued following Ame, making their way to the Scroll of Time Room.
Amelia would take them momentarily to take refuge in her Timeline, later on she was sure Kronii would come looking for them so all she had to do as the older one was make sure Gura was fine.
The blonde was the older cousin here, and she learned a lot about it from her own Gohan. The older takes care of the younger, that's how the family and close friends work.
And as they were about to make one of the last turns, a loud animalistic roar was heard from far behind them soon followed by an explosion that filled the hall behind them with smoke.
Both their heads shot back mid-flight, and to their dread a dark purple sword cuts the smoke perfectly in the middle, showcasing the one they were just watching grinning like the demon he is.
His yellow eyes take in the two fugitives, laughing into a strange - “ Kehkehkeh!” - All while his long tail waves around, still cracking up he makes a cutting motion on his neck with his thumb as he sticks his tongue out in a crazy manner, sword still held tightly in his other hand.
The two girls yelp in shock from the sudden appearance.
Body starting to disappear after turning into blocks, Janemba is quick to completely vanish into mini squares, and the two teenagers explode in speed while trying to make their way away while enduring worried looks.
“ KEHKEH!!” - He materializes himself a few feet in front of them, little squares coming from all sides to completely reform himself.
Forcing both Hybrids to put a cease in their rush, not taking any chances a Golden aura erupts around Amelia as she charges her Ki up in a brief shout.
Trying to follow suit, Gura clenches her teeth tightly while forcing everything she had stored from these past times, bringing the memory of her dear father and friends from that doomed day when she witnessed everything she knew to love come to a rash end.
Some strange words from her Owl of a teacher echoed through in her head, they weren't the most suitable but still.....
[ ‘ 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝒃𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒔𝒂𝒚. - ' 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒆𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒘𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚' - 𝑶𝒓 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓.
𝑰𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆, - *𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒔* - 𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒂 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒚𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅, 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒑𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈,- * 𝒔𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒔 * -, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆!
𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒇𝒇! 𝑾𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒊𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒅𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔’𝒏 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒕! 𝑨𝒉𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒉! ’ ]
That quote did make some sense at the time, but after some time Gura kinda of got what Mumei was talking about.
The key to transforming, those so-called ‘hacks’ was having a trigger to always bring those same sensations and recollections she felt back then; Helplessness, Anger, Rage, Sadness, and Terror between many more.
She had that key, and learned how to unlock the door that lies beyond it.
Upon opening it a Golden aura shone through.
As her emotions boiled they were more than enough to push her everything out in an expendable explosion of Golden aura.
A more fancier transformation than Amelia's as the usual blonde had already gotten quite the mastery over the Legendary Form.
Getting into their stances, they were about to try everything in their power to survive.
Ame was the first to take initiative, trying to dash forward just to come to a stop as she noticed Janemba unsettlingly grinning like the demon he was.
Soon she noticed what he was about to do watching him slowly raise his sword, it then hit her as she remembered what he could pull off.
Making a full turn, her face twists in fear as Gura watches the now horrified Amelia in confusion.
In a movement faster than the two of them could witness he slashed his sword horizontally, a white line spreading from both ends of the hall could be seen in front of him as his grin only grew wider and more menacing.
“ 𝑮𝑼𝑹𝑨!!!!!” - Grabbing the girl by her shoulder while a blue glow outlined her body, and violently pulling her down to the ground so hard she hit the other's head on the floor leaving a purple mark, Ame managed to make the now younger Super Saiyan dodge an attack that had cut the whole Lab as a whole half.
“ Ame! Don't do me lik- *looks up*, Ame?” - Still holding onto her shoulder, Amelia…. Who was standing up looked down at the sharky girl with a distant look, she held her watch firmly with her other hand, a subtle blue glow that was around her body vanished as blood ran down her nostrils, and soon her Golden hair fell to her more dull blonde one.
Amelia's arm she was holding onto Gura's shoulder started to resonate snapping sounds as her muscles and bones popped apart from such a humongous tension she had just pushed into them.
She had pulled it off, going above her limits with the Watch yet again. This time who knows how many times she had to up her body to be able to do so.
“ I…am….. glad…… you're…. Fine….. shorty-” - As in a horror movie Amelia's neck had a perfect cut line shine in red, a short moment before blood started slipping down her neck's cut into her torso and Clothes.
She let go of Gura’s shoulder, her body falling back as her head separated from her body, falling forward.
* 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐝! * - * 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐝! *
Two heavy sounds echo out through the sliced halls, one for Amelia's body as a pool of blood soon starts to form under her decapitated upper torso and arm.
And the second one coming right from in between her cousin’s legs.
The last bits of light in her blue eyes disappeared as she couldn't see anything besides darkness at this point… Could she have also crouched in time? By herself she probably could have dodged using Time Reallocation with all her might, given the attack that the demon just shot was just Janemba playing with his' ‘prey’’…
But…. What would have happened to Gura?
She couldn't use Time Reallocation Twice at that level, she knew his strength was hundreds if not thousands of times stronger than hers given his new upgraded looks, and his speeds should also match it.
In the dilemma of either saving herself or the younger one, Amelia had made her choice.
Using Everything she could pull off from the Watch and throwing it in Time Acceleration into her whole body to move, then in one burst of craziness pushing all that on her arm to pull Gura down…
The result was her whole arm becoming completely and utterly destroyed after less than a third of a second using of such augmentation.
At the very least her energy suddenly disappearing should alert Kronii and the others…. That's what she was hoping for…
.
..
…
….
* 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒑* - “ ….Ame?”
Green eyes shaking with tears, Gura stares unblinkingly at the headless Amelia Briefs who now had her sky blue eyes depleted of their light, staring into nothingness. Her body quivers uncontrollably while a snarling mocking laugh rings through the place.
“ Keh!Keh!KehKeh!” - Laughing in mockery of the ‘ stupid blonde ‘, Janemba wheezes to himself while not even bothering to pay attention to the other Hybrid Girl.
“ Ame…. Why….. Why are they doing this…. I haven't done anything to anyone….. Why I'm being punished like this…..” - Hands shaking, she takes both sides of Amelia's head, carefully raising it to her chest as she closes the blonde’s empty eyes.
Hugging her as tears ran down to the ground, her blonde hair deflating into her white usual one. - “ First It was in my Home….. Now even here …. What have I done to even deserve this….”
Strangely those words resembled a lot of those once spoken by her bird Teacher.
Wanting only to have peace and have a good life with her family and friends, but even when taken to another place….. Misery still found its way to her….
“ They won't let me be…. They won't leave me be…..” - Standing up while hugging her fallen cousin’s head, Gura had her eyes obscured by her hair.
*𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒌* - Given Janemba cracking to himself he didn't hear the bone-snapping sounds coming from Gura's hands as her nails grew sharper.
Saiyan Hybrids had strange traits apart from Full Saiyans and Humans. Some could acquire Unique forms like Gohan's Beast and the Trunk’s Super Saiyan Rage.
They would adapt to the situation and power they have at the moment to grow stronger or develop everything they have stored to grow.
Hybrids always had a ceilingless Potential as to what they could achieve, Gohan and Mumei once again could be taken as our Prime examples.
One could even ponder as to what Broly's son/daughter would be if they were a hybrid, the little brat would indeed be a strong force to be reckoned against.
*𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒌!* - Around Gura's mandible even more bone-snapping noises loudly rang, and her already uncanny blade-sharp teeth grew sharper and longer.
“Keh!Keh!- Hmmm?” - Stopping laughing like a lunatic, Janemba glanced at the standing Gura who held Amelia's head as if it was the most fragile thing in the world.
Ground crying out loud as a shockwave bursts out from Gura as the center, filling the ground and walls with spider-web-like cracks.
Soon veins started to pop around her face and eye ends, their appearance was soon followed by an ominous flaming red aura leaving her skin, even though she didn't meet any of the necessary needs, qualities, or requirements to use what her body was emitting right now. It was such a trim quantity that it was laughable….
A speck of grain in the sea of sand.
But…. If those who had the real thing were inside this hall watching the scene right now, they would tell you. ‘ That's Chaos Energy ‘.
In a miracle pulling the tiny grain fragments of the energy her body had passively gathered while being with Mumei, she was able to use it as the Energy found her Anger and Time Traveller title interesting.
It was Chaos, after all, its motives and reasons never would be clear. If it ever had one, to begin with.
Gura's blue hair parts warp to a reddish blood color and so do her now deep raging blood-colored eyes.
Even if this was nothing but a fleeing power.
Even if at each movement she did her bones would break, her muscles shatter and her organs suffer from the pressure.
Even.... so....
It was one she would be grateful for. - *𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑴!!* - An explosion reverberates out from her location, in a burst of speed she leaves a shockwave after shockwave that is delayed behind her.
The hall is broken apart and so are the paints with Kronii in them, even if their material was one of the toughest the Shockwaves weren't made of any ordinary type of power.
*𝑼𝑺𝑯!!* - *𝑽𝑼𝑺𝑯𝑯𝑯*
“ Uh? 𝑲𝑬𝑯?!?!!” - Not catching what happened, Janemba had his arm which was holding onto his sword torn apart from his body by brute force.
Not bleeding or anything, the view of his insides was that of various colored blocks.

Shocked, he slowly turned towards the end of the hall behind him, and still hugging Ame’s lifeless head, was Gura.
In her mouth, being chewed by her shark teeth was the Demon's arm. Soon after the sudden impressive move, she let go of the arm as it fell into the ground twitching.
Hair, eyes, and hands soon return to normal as blood spurts from her nostrils, ears, and mouth at the same time. The price of using something that wasn't ever meant to be hers.
Unlike the Owl who has a very LOOONG and complicated story as to how she got in touch with Chaos Energy and is able to use it, Gura is solely the daughter of Vegeta and Bulma.
While she did travel through time, just that would never fit Chaos’s True Likings and Needs.
Even though that is her alibi in this Multiverse. She might have been from Atlantis somewhere else… Maybe even have a shark tail given how her teeth are, who knows?
Those ‘theories’ aside. Soon after letting go of the arm, it disappears into blocky pieces. Reforming it on Janemba's missing body part as he swung it a few times to test the limb. Smirking after confirming its authenticity and making his way down towards the now tired young Hybrid.
Groaning in annoyance in between many other emotions Gura stumbles and bit and falls to her side. - *Thud!* - Doing her best to make Ame’s head not take the brunt of the fall as if the blonde would complain about it and call her out for it…
Well..... Gura wished she would do so.
Throat sore, she tried to shout for some aid finding it hard as blood kept coming out. Forcing her to cough it out to not drown in her own blood's internal wounds.
*Creak* - *𝑺𝑳𝑰𝑴! 𝑪𝑹𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑪𝑲* - Walking closer, Janemba shoved his sword into the floor while walking closer, cutting the floor behind him as chips of the floor hotter than magma flew to all sides of the hall.
The sound closed in as did him, ready to just give up Gura hugged Ame’s head letting her tears storm down her face mixing with her blood in a helpless view.
‘ God…. That so-called Omega-San…. Mumei-*cough!* -......𝑨𝒖𝒏𝒕𝑴𝒆𝒊… Please.... 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞…’ - Seeing her fate flash as the sound of the sword was now right in front of her, Janemba laughed a short crackle before raising his sword and-
*𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑻𝑻𝑬𝑹* - “ Kehuhh-!?!” - *𝑪𝑹𝑨𝑺𝑯-𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴!!!* - A green-blue light crashes from the ceiling to a wall by their side. Dust fills the whole area as a mix of blue and green glow erupts between it and closes in Janemba, it shows itself as a blast upon exiting the curtain of dust.
One that was absurdly too fast for him to move out of the way.
“𝑲𝑬𝑯𝑯𝑯𝑯𝒉𝒉𝒉𝒉….” - Obliterating his whole being to dust, causing his silhouette to break apart inside the blast.
Creating a new elephant-sized in one of the walls, it continues making its way outside to the bizarre new emptiness outside, it shoots off to a new view to a strange-looking warped part of the Dimension that was now completely white, a few giant blue lightning cracks could be seen everywhere around it from time to time.
It was like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber all over again… no end could be seen for that part or Kronii's dimension by its width and depth…
“ 𝔾𝕠… 𝔹𝕒𝕔𝕜… 𝕋𝕠…..ℍ𝕖𝕝𝕝…” - Dust settling, lying above a bunch of wall debris resembling concrete with torn apart clothes and injuries from head to toe, and a few deep holes around her torso, was Faukro.
She also now had her regular arms as well as hair lowered back to the base instead of both her transformation ones.
Eyes almost closed from exhaustion, she somehow was still sharp enough to notice the situation before crashing head-first into the wall, when she landed Amelia's body briefly flashed inside her vision pushing her full attention to quickly shift to the evil Ki signature which was obviously Janemba.
Not even thinking twice, she aimed an arm and used the last bits of energy she had. Now, Their Potara Earrings were already pretty full of cracks, shining with green light as they broke to bits.
Faukro ends up covered in a bright green and blue glow that separates from each other perfectly down in the middle.
And with a sad frown followed by a sigh. - " 𝕎𝕖-...... 𝕀.... 𝔻𝕚𝕕𝕟'𝕥 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕞𝕖𝕖𝕥 𝕙𝕖𝕣....'' - *𝑽𝑼𝑺𝑯!* - She separates, Both Fauna and Kro falling to their respective sides, right beside one another completely unconscious, full of wounds, cuts and fist-sized holes around their torsos.
Weak as she is, Gura does the same on her end not being able to hold her conciseness for much longer due to her external and internal injuries.
The view was terrific as many of our strong warriors were spread unconscious through the floor and debris... One way worse than the others, under all of them rivers of blood created pools of red.
As for what the Warden Herself was up to?
Well for that we might need to go a few moments before Faukro fell here through the ceiling.
A better understanding of how she went from her pristine self to this pitiful state would also be welcome to us.

___________:
( 𝐅𝐚𝐮𝐤𝐫𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐢’𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭; ) :
* 𝑩𝑨𝑴𝑴𝑴! * - A shockwave echoed across the skies of the once Kronton City Islands.
One that was short-lived though immensely powerful, the Dimension shook upon its spread took place.
As if it was not enough, soon a dozen more in the form of giant shockwave circles exploded from all edges of the Dimension’s skies before starting to increase in size and quantity.
After each of them, strange hundreds of blue cuts in space would be left behind to patch themselves back up around the area of all sites.
“ ℍ𝔸𝔸𝔸ℍ!!“ - Reappearing far above the height clouds would normally stay around, Faukro spreads both arms to their far end, blue lines of Godly Ki swirl around her armored arms the instant she does so.
From both sides where her arms were stretched towards colossal hundred-meter energy roots of cyan color sprouted at light speeds forward.
Right about where Kronii and Inarch soon teleport to.
Grinning the Merged Warrior is quick to separate each root to their far ends before clapping both hands together so as to smash the roots into each other.
Her objective was to try and smash Ina into paper, vanishing before the roots arrived, Kronii soon appeared by Faukro’s side breathing roughly and watching the attack seemingly hit.
*𝐁𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐌𝐌𝐌!!* - Their hair waves wildly as the humongous roots collide.
Frowning, Faukro who had her face and clothes already in a pretty bad state, side eyes Kronii. - “ 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕖 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕖𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙? 𝕐𝕖𝕒𝕙, 𝕨𝕖'𝕧𝕖 𝕓𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕒𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕚𝕟𝕛𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕣…. 𝔹𝕦𝕥 𝕤𝕙𝕖 𝕜𝕖𝕖𝕡𝕤 𝕣𝕖𝕘𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕟 𝕦𝕤.”
At those words the Blue Godly Ki that spun around her started to patch all wounds the Fusion had returning it to their regular perfectly fine states.
Seeing where she was coming from got Kronii annoyed. - “ I might need to rely on Destruction at the end of the day….” - Words spoken in a lower tone got Faukro’s immediate attention.
Frowning, she wasn't as much Kro as Fauna so even if she still considered Kronii their sister, the one predominant wasn't that happy there was still something the Warden didn't throw in this battle that might not even end in their favor.
“ 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕨𝕒𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕠𝕣!? 𝕁𝕦𝕤𝕥 𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕦𝕤 𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕟𝕖𝕖𝕕, 𝕂𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕚𝕚!…” - Their eyes met for a moment before both turned around in a sharp turn, one swinging her leg in a right sidekick as Kronii went for an ‘X’ double cut slashing both her swords.
*𝑺𝑾𝑰𝑰𝑵- 𝑩𝑨𝑴𝑴𝑴!!* - Attacking right in time given their extreme coordination, Kronii forced Inarch’s arms which were filled with Destruction away by cutting her bicep and forearm areas.
Taking the opportunity Faukro goes with her full body weight and connects the sidekick to their enemy's abdominal side, using her full momentum to power her Ki up even more and use her Augmentation Gift from Kronii, she uses Time Relocation on herself to be pushed a bit back and go for a high side-kick right into Ina’s face still at full momentum.
In a war shout the fusion finishes her leg swing. - *𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴𝑴!!* - Tossing Ina flying at top speeds that broke the sound barrier hundreds of times on her way out after a few beats of delay, shooting away thousands of Kilometers from their location.
Given her high speeds all that could be seen was a black line turning into a dark blurry given how far the Void one's was from them.
Lowering her leg, Faukro sighed. - “ ℕ𝕚𝕔𝕖 𝕠𝕟𝕖, 𝕤𝕙𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕨𝕖 𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕕, 𝕟𝕠𝕨… 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥'𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕟, 𝕊𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣.”
The tone of the Merged Warrior took a different turn when speaking this time, it was like the Kro part seemed to come a bit forward for a moment.
A bit shaken by the sudden calling and blushing a bit, Kronii coughed in her fist. - “ I can try to Eradicate her for good….
By using Destruction like that rat redhead, I can so make Time and Destruction come together to bring everything to a Blank State. The range isn't too controlled, and I have no idea of its repercussions since it's not something I ever toyed with….
So you guys would have to make sure she is stunned or something for me to shoot it off...”
Deadpanning the Warden, Faukro scratched the side of her head a bit worried. - “ 𝕎𝕖 𝕞𝕖𝕒𝕟…. 𝔹𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕖? 𝕐𝕠𝕦'𝕣𝕖 𝕘𝕠𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕦𝕣𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕖 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕠 𝕒 𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕥𝕖 𝕍𝕠𝕚𝕕 𝕠𝕣 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘?…”
Staring back as if the Fusion was dumb, Kronii shook her head while turning around in a spinning horizontal slash as if seeing the future where Inarch would show up. - “ That move is starting to get too old already…” - Craving a large slash on Ina’s torso from shoulder to shoulder.
Wounds that soon started healing once the Tako vanished and reappeared a few hundred meters away.
“ And no Faukro, It's a zone of Absolute Destruction, Time Breaks apart inside it. It doesn't turn into a Void and more so just Blankness that repeatedly Destroys itself…. Kinda hard to explain without the theories I had written a few centuries ago…” - Readying her swords, Kronii nudges the other party to get ready.
Raising an eyebrow, the girl² just shrugged. A part of her understood it partially while the other was floating on the clouds with no idea whatsoever of what Kronii just explained.
Taking their stance, Faukro already had an idea of how to go about this. - “ 𝕎𝕖 𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕚𝕥…. ℕ𝕠𝕨, 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕤𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕤𝕡𝕚𝕟𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕙𝕖𝕒𝕕 𝕠𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕪!”
*𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴!!!* - Exploding from her location and disappearing, Faukro was about to try her hands at changing the Time Boosts Kronii had spread to them, changing and turning off some.
All she needed was the reaction and movement to act on her plan. Sacrificing all her Boosts of speed and other upgrades to just rely on Time Reallocation and Reaction Time.
Having set up her Powers, Faukro soon starts to show how to actually use those powers. Kicking Ina’s face as she teleports right In front of her head, one kick of many as she creates hundreds of after images teleporting and kickin' the Void one's everywhere around her body in consecutive blows.
Not giving a reaction to the other party as when they teleported she would also soon follow to continue her assault. - * 𝑩𝑨𝑴𝑴𝑴!! * - Hitting a high spinning kick to Ina’s face, Faukro doesn't stop her movement but lowers her leg to this time bring her right arm in an uppercutting way.
Holding in her palm was a blue compact sphere of Ki crackling with bolts of electricity. - *𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴!!* - Exploding it under Ina’s chin and creating some visible scratches while the Empty girl floated up spinning like a ragdoll.
Ascending, Inarch widens her eyes momentarily forcing her Flaming Purple-Black aura to rage up following her disappearance.
Vanishing from everyone's view to appear right in front of Faukro who bulged her eyes, not believing this thing would pull such a daring move.
“ 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕝𝕚𝕥- * 𝑩𝑨𝑴𝑴𝑴𝑴𝑴!!! *-, 𝕌𝔾ℍ𝔸𝔸!?!* - And using Faukro's idea of Teleporting to attack she vanished leaving an afterimage so she could connect a clean hit to the merged warrior’s face.
The hit was so loud and potent, even the Warden who had just closed her eyes to concentrate and was mumbling incomprehensible words winced at it.
Pushed back and coughing a few strands of blood, Faukro's wooden-like arm glowed in green before turning to particles as she stared back at those glowing Void Eyes.
Cleaning her mouth before pushing the last bit of Nature Energy they still had stored to their Vine-like arm, creating a wooden armor of sorts around it.
Sadly, the only way for more Nature Energy to be made would be if Kronii took back her FULL Time Concept and Reversed ALL damage done to the Islands and the atmosphere around the Dimension itself.
Not something they could afford to do right now.
“ 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕘𝕠𝕥 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕔𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝕦𝕤, 𝕙𝕦𝕙… “ - Feeling her face still numb, Faukro couldn't take her eyes from Ina for even a moment.

As Ina was about to teleport, Faukro spat some blood from the side of her mouth, and moving a step ahead appeared above Inarch grasping into the Tako’s face before twirling and forcing the Blue Godly Ki from Kronii to outline Ina’s own darkened body.
This should ensure Ina wouldn't teleport away given she was now in a Time Prison.
The moment she did, the vine wooden-armored arm she had was immediately destroyed as she was in direct contact with Destruction and Void. Eyes widening, Faukro doesn't waste any more time not wanting to actually be Destroyed, and tosses Inarch flying away.
Through now not having the Protection of Concept of Time, nor Nature all it took was Inarch who was in her forced flight to shakily form a fist while looking towards the Fusion to make immediate damage, even if Teleporting wasn't possible right now she still had other ways to damage Non-Concepts. And since Faukro had no power left, she entered that category nicely.
“ 𝕌𝕙? “ - Confused at the action, Faukro looks down at her torso where the fist was aimed at, her mouth twists to an annoyed snarl realizing what the other party did.
“𝕀 𝕙𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 ℂ𝕠𝕟𝕔𝕖𝕡𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕝 𝕤𝕥𝕦𝕗𝕗….” - Blood sips down her mouth ends given the few fist-sized holes that made themselves known from nowhere, all Ina did was Empty the spaces on that area, though this ability didn't seem to work against those with Conceptual Shields.
Coughing, Faukro’s body falls limp from a few hundred kilometers above the clouds. On her way down she catches a glance of Kronii finally opening her eyes with a resolving look. They knew the Warden had reached the answer.
Mouth twitching, Kronii was about to look back at the Fusion but a faint telepathic whisper forced her to look forward. - ‘ 𝕎𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕝..𝕝𝕚𝕧𝕖…. 𝕎𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕨 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕚𝕟 𝕒 𝕕𝕚𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕𝕟'𝕥 𝕗𝕖𝕖𝕝 𝕒𝕟𝕪 𝕝𝕚𝕧𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕓𝕖𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤…. 𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕤𝕙 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕛𝕠𝕓, 𝕆𝕝𝕕𝕖𝕣 𝕊𝕚𝕤.’
Turning into a Meteor, Faukro descended. First turning a ball of blue and green flames as she made her way down right into the Lab. Breaking the Barrier that was already weakened now that Kronii started focusing all her energy in one point.
The rest of the story should already be known. Soon before Faukro defused she still did one last deed by exterminating the Incarnation of Evil

Looking at Inarch crossing the air towards where she was told to. Kronii, having her blue hair floating around and the concentration of a sniper stares at her enemy.
“ It's always the older one’s duty to look for the younger ones right, Sana? 𝑯𝑴𝑷𝑯!!” - Hands-free from her swords as she dissipated them for a while already, purple and blue energy burns out from her body.
First moving her arms in a swirling motion, then spreading them to each respective side.
A ball of purple dark flames forms itself in one of her hands and around the other, a bright blue one full of Roman symbols floating around its insides is brought to life on her other free hand.
“ Thy may not know the name of this technique as it shalt not ever have one.” - Both her arms bring each of the spheres to in front of her, colliding both to a show of thundering blue and purple.
On collision, the thunders that shot off from both Conceptual forces meeting seem to hit plain air and turn it to pure white.
The spheres themselves merge soon after dozes of electric bolts from their respective colors shoot out from their meeting point, losing all color to turn into just pure White. Even its lighting bolts that raged across it now bore no extra colors.
Everything starts shaking as the Time Patrollers who were forced by the Warden to take refuge in the basketball field its their barrier removed, Kronii's full might was inside this one move so she needed everything she could muster. Though she did leave the circle that was searching for whatever Mumei was, she knew that one should be kept active for various reasons, one of them being her backup plan.
Noticing the barrier keeping them there was no more, many Patrollers tried flying up to have a better view of the situation, though soon one after one they started falling unconscious.
Even if many of them had no access to Divine Powers the pressure of Time and Destruction meeting would turn any mortals to nothingness if they approached it.
*𝑪𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑲𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑮!!* - Lowering her left arm, and keeping the sphere of death using only her right arm. Kronii positioned her fingers as if she was about to flick them.
“ Begone! ” - * 𝑪𝑳𝑰𝑪𝑲! *
A simple movement of snapping her fingers and the clicking of it soon followed.
Such a simple action.
For such a horrifying view that would soon follow.
*𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑻𝑻𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑮!!!!* - In a simple finger flick, the ball of Conceptual Energy was fired. Though it shot off it didn't fly far off before making contact with thin air akin to its thunders before.
The direction Kronii was facing well as its horizon was illuminated by a white flash before everything around it broke apart like glass.
A rupture was created in the Dimension, now half it being completely beyond gone, a white emptiness was all that there was to that direction. If one were to adventure in there without Time's Protection... They wouldn't return to tell it's tales.
Such a fast end would follow shortly after they stomped inside, that was all that awaited for them.
A quick End.
An End that seemed to befall Inarch. Her body was pretty resistant, for the first few microseconds inside it she did withstand some of the pressure coming from Complete Erasure.
However, all it took was an actual second for her whole body to be broken apart as the whiteness was eating away every piece of her body. Leaving nothing in her place, a strange ending for the one who should represent Emptiness and Void.
*𝑼𝑺𝑯-* - Not even having the strength to stand there flying anymore, Kronii falls, eyes weakly open enough for her to guide her fall to be where Faukro fell… The only difference would be that the Warden seemed to be about to crash right in front of the entrance and not straight inside.
*𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴!!* - Not even bracing for impact, she hits the ground leaving a crater that was seemingly made by a meteor. Her body bounces one time as she is thrown through her Lab’s main entrance double doors.
Sliding a few meters in face first on the ground, her body and clothes were in states that one would think she had gone to war. And she did.
Shakily using all her remaining strength to push her face off the ground and face the ceiling.
“ How…. Does….. Mumei…no… Saiyans….. Enjoy this……” - Her hand trembles in front of her face as she sees a faint blue gleam starting to come back and surround her.
There was no way her power would be back so soon, but she had to get up… She had to heal the others as she could feel how weak their presence was.
For some reason, Gura was alone here too, though Amelia was nowhere to be felt… Which was…. Strange… She was sure she felt something about the blonde around this direction before....
A minute goes by, and finally, Kronii's injuries get to the point where she can crawl. Pulling herself closer to a wall she uses it as support and stands up to her feet.
Blue energy outlines her body completely as she limps through the halls, around halfway to the first hall which she had just gotten up she flinches feeling something she had forgotten for a minute, it appeared to be about finally to activate.
The circle that was given the job to find Mumei. The one Kronii had put before their battles had started which was now on a chunk of the floating islands.
Now that Inarch wasn't around, her powers had a higher scope outside the Dimension. Meaning the bird was soon to be brought back from whatever she was at.
“ Oh… she's finally coming back…..Wait…..” - Pausing… Kronii looked at her situation, then focused on how Kro, Fauna, and Gura were.
Gulping down, she started limping forward faster. - ‘ I can't let her see those other two like that!....
𝗪𝗔𝗜𝗧…...𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗞!!
𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗔 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗥 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧?!?! 𝗜 𝗚𝗢𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗬 𝗨𝗣!!!!’
Determined, the Warden tries her best to go through the corridors while taking support on the wall while her body heals up.
The mission to heal their fallen friends and cease what could very well be the complete destruction of her Dimension was dependent on her shoulders.
And there she goes….
Limping, exactly like an Old Hag……
