Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

The two sides resumed their standoff.

Their eyes met, and Bardock struck first, his body radiating an evil aura that transformed into a sharp slash that tore through space and hurtled towards Talot.

Faced with this dense wave of evil energy, Talot leaped into the air, his ghostly movements deftly avoiding Bardock's evil energy cuts.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!!" The unstoppable evil energy cut through the arena, leaving several long cracks in the ground.

Bardock did not give up despite his attack missing. He raised his hand and gathered a roaring energy, locking onto Talot once again.

Bardock knew Talot's strength and was eager to prove himself, which is why he launched such a fierce attack.

The evil energy blast condensed to its extreme, unleashing a world-destroying force that tore through space and hurtled straight toward Talot.

Seeing this, Talot gathered energy in his right hand, transforming it into an unstoppable energy blade, and slashed down fiercely.

The evil energy ball was easily cleaved in two by Talot's sword, falling to his left and right sides.

Boom! Boom! The energy blasts exploded on both sides of Talot.

The thick smoke from the explosion enveloped Talot's body.

Bardock sensed an opportunity and charged forward in an instant, his powerful body, shrouded in evil energy, cutting through the smoke of battle.

The fierce attack swept over Talot's body like a storm.

Faced with Bardock's renewed onslaught, Talot remained calm and handled the situation with ease. Whenever Bardock's punches and kicks were about to hit him, he would perfectly dodge them with an extremely strange posture.

[So close, always just a hair's breadth away. Has this kid completely figured out my moves? No, it's not that simple. It must be because of the invisible divine power surrounding his body.] As a seasoned veteran with countless battles under his belt, Bardock's keen combat intuition sensed something was amiss.

Talot in front of him seemed to have entered some kind of special state, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Bardock's guess was correct. Talot in front of him was indeed no longer in a normal combat state, but looked more like he had the prototype of Ultra Instinct.

"Bang! Thud! Thud!" Talot stretched out his hands and grabbed Bardock's hands tightly. At this moment, the two engaged in a pure contest of strength.

In the clash of strength, the two sides were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand.

"Good lad, you're far more powerful than I thought. I'm probably not even one percent as good as you now!!" Bardock exclaimed, a yearning for greater power growing within him.

He was genuinely happy for Talot's strength, but he was also unwilling to accept his own weakness.

No matter what, he was an elder. Talot had surpassed him so easily, which must have stirred up quite a bit of emotion within him.

"Not at all, Uncle Bardock, don't underestimate yourself. The gap isn't that big yet," Talot said modestly.

"Hmph!! You brat, still the same as always. Since that's the case, let's settle this with one move!" Bardock snorted coldly, quickly unleashing his evil aura to distance himself from Talottra.

He was already aware of the difference in strength between himself and Talot, and continuing the fight would be pointless.

"Since Uncle Bardock intends to end this battle, I have no objection!" After saying this, Talot immediately activated the divine power within his body, intending to unleash his ultimate move to decide the outcome of the battle with Bardock in one fell swoop.

"Let me see how you're going to counter this move." Bardock's right hand formed a palm, his five fingers exerting force, while his left hand gripped his right wrist, continuously channeling power into his right palm.

Talot raised his right hand to gather divine power, intending to end the battle with a super finishing move.

The energy of both sides continued to converge, becoming increasingly intense and heated.

"Take this!! Super Destructive Ray!" Bardock thrust his right hand forward, and a dark energy beam, roaring like a dark dragon, shot out from his palm, heading straight for Talot.

"Annihilation Bullet!" Talot swung his arm, and the divine energy blast gathered in his right hand shot out through the air, carrying unparalleled destructive power.

Boom! ...

In an instant.

The entire arena, and the world outside, were greatly affected.

The invisible spatial and temporal forces surrounding the arena operated rapidly, absorbing all the immense energy released from the two players' ultimate moves, minimizing the powerful destructive shockwaves generated when their ultimate moves collided.

The aftershocks rippled and space trembled, as the destructive power of Talot and Bardock's ultimate attacks continued to increase.

At this moment, Bardock had unleashed his full fighting power, even the absolute limit of his limits.

In contrast, Talot has yet to show his true abilities.

"Tch! In the end, the gap is still too big, this kid...!!" Bardock knew that his defeat was inevitable, so he simply accepted the outcome.

He was satisfied to have fought against Talot and truly felt the immense power Talot now possessed.

As Bardock's fighting spirit dissipated, his super destructive ray also weakened.

Once Talot felt the pressure subside, he also stopped advancing the Annihilation Bullet.

*Buzz!*

As both sides simultaneously released their force, the power of their ultimate skills was disintegrated by the surrounding invisible spacetime force, turning into countless light particles that dissipated into space.

"Phew! That felt so good, I haven't felt this way in a long time." Bardock let out a long sigh and immediately deactivated his transformation.

"Well then, the time is almost right. Let's return to our original timeline in a bit, Uncle Bardock," Talot said.

Badak nodded in response.

They had already decided on a time to leave, but because he wanted to test his strength, he sparred with Talot before leaving.

Although some energy was consumed, this level of consumption can be recovered quickly.

Thus, their battle came to an end, and they also decided on their next steps.

Travel through time and space to return to your original world!

……

After finishing their sparring match, Talot and Bardock returned to the Nest of Time.

After regaining all their power, Talot and Bardock found Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time. After saying goodbye to everyone, with Chronoa's help, a spacetime tunnel connecting their time worlds was opened.

"Alright, the time tunnel has stabilized. You can go in now. Remember to be careful of the time storms you encounter along the way." Chronoa clapped his hands and turned to Bardock and Talot to remind them.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. If you need anything in the future, just come to us," Talot promised Kuronoa.

"I'll remember that. I'll come find you in the future," Kuronoa said with his hands on his hips and a light laugh.

"Well then, farewell." With that, Talot and Bardock turned and entered the time tunnel.

As the two of them entered, the time tunnel closed at that moment.

"They've all left after all. If only one of them had stayed in the Nest of Time as a space-time patroller," Chronoa sighed with deep regret.

Bardock and Talot are both so strong, they are definitely promising candidates for Space Patrol.

However, neither of them had any interest in becoming time patrollers.

Just as the two people left.

Immediately afterward, Kuronoa received an emergency distress signal from time patrollers in other timelines.

The projection formed by the power of spacetime showed the crisis that Sun Wukong and his companions encountered in another time and space world.

In the world they inhabit, they were attacked by people from the Dark Realm.

"It's the Dark Realm again... This is just one more problem. Vegeta, it's time for you to make your move." Chronoa turned to Future Vegeta beside him and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Future Vegeta smiled without saying a word; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

I'm sure Goku's expression will be priceless when he sees his new transformation.

This feeling was just like the first time he saw Kakarot transform into Super Saiyan 3.

He was determined to let Kakarot experience that feeling.

……

At this very moment, inside the time tunnel.

Talot and Badak are traveling through a time tunnel.

Talot used his spacetime powers to create an invisible barrier that enveloped the two of them.

With this power of spacetime, ordinary spacetime storms cannot harm them.

The two traveled through time without incident, and it seemed they would soon be able to return to their original world. But then, a sudden change occurred.

An unprecedented spacetime storm suddenly appeared behind the two of them and swept towards them at an extremely fast speed.

"Is this... the spacetime storm?" Bardock sensed the threat of the spacetime storm behind him and immediately unleashed his full power, transforming into Evil Super Saiyan 3.

The spacetime storm arrived suddenly, and its speed was outrageously fast.

"This is troublesome!" Talot frowned when he saw that things were not going well. He immediately mobilized the divine power energy pool in his body and transformed from Super Saiyan God to Super Saiyan Blue Evolution Peak state in one go.

During his first time traveling through time, he actually encountered a spacetime storm.

At this moment, Talot grabbed Bardock with one hand and sprinted at full speed towards the end of the time tunnel.

Even at the peak speed of Super Saiyan Blue Evolution, it was impossible to completely escape the massive spacetime storm behind it.

The space-time storm seemed to have locked onto the two of them, treating them as prey, determined to devour them completely.

"Does this thing have self-awareness? Even at this speed, I can't get rid of it?!" The terror of the spacetime storm made Bardock's scalp tingle.

Judging by bodily instincts, anyone who gets caught up in this thing will face unimaginable consequences.

Even someone as powerful as him would be badly injured, if he didn't die. And once he entered the spacetime storm, who knew where he would end up?

"Hmph! I refuse to believe I can't get rid of it!" Talot gritted his teeth, decisively activated the power of the God of Destruction within his body, and entered a state of self-ultimate mastery.

With the power of a god of destruction surging around him, Talot transformed into a streak of purple aurora, carrying Bardock straight towards the top of the time tunnel.

But the massive spacetime storm continued to relentlessly pursue them.

"Damn it! Does this thing really have self-awareness? Fine, since I can't escape, I'll destroy it!" Talot felt a surge of anger.

I didn't want to waste time, and I didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Everything was going smoothly until they were suddenly pursued by a time-space storm.

Since we can't shake them off, let's confront them head-on!

Talot gathered power in his other hand, condensing destructive energy in his palm. Once the energy was fully formed, he threw it backward with all his might, smashing the destructive energy bullet directly into the spacetime storm behind him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" An unbelievable scene unfolded.

Talot's destructive energy blasts not only failed to destroy the spacetime storm, but were instead shattered and absorbed by it.

Having absorbed the spacetime storm from the destructive energy blast, it became even larger, and its speed increased dramatically.

Upon seeing this, Talot gasped. Then, disregarding the disruption of the spacetime storm, he unleashed his full power, bursting forth with his aura to accelerate and carry Bardock at full speed.

"What do we do now? Talot, if it really doesn't work, you go ahead by yourself!" Bardock frowned, his face looking grim.

He had already anticipated what was likely to happen, so he didn't want Talot to be in danger.

Although the hope of returning home was within reach and he shouldn't give up, he also didn't want Talot to be unable to return because of him.

"No! We've come this far, how can we let go! It seems this thing won't let us go without paying a price." Talot realized the seriousness of the situation.

At the same time, an idea also formed in his mind.

Rather than continuing like this, it would be better for him to stay.

At least he has mastered the power of spacetime, so he should be able to break free even after being devoured by it.

Moreover, he also bears the mark of Weiss, and he escaped unharmed when he was first caught in the spacetime storm.

If Bardock returns, he can use the full power of spacetime on his own to resolve the spacetime storm from the inside out, and then return to his original world.

"Uncle Bardock, I'm now using the power of spacetime within me to send you back to Earth in your original world. Get ready," Talot suddenly said.

"And what about you?!" Upon hearing this, Bardock felt a sense of foreboding.

He had a vague idea of ​​what Talott wanted to do.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, I have mastered the power of spacetime, so even if I'm swept up by this spacetime storm, I won't die! It'll just take a little longer to get back. Uncle Bardock can explain it to me then. Even if I really encounter danger, Serari and the others know what to do," Talot explained.

"This..." Bardock was somewhat perplexed.

For him, it was better to go himself than to let Talot take the risk, but Talot was no longer the child who needed his protection.

"I understand, you must come back safely!" After a moment of contemplation, Bardock quickly made a decision and said to Talot.

He didn't want to hold Talot back either.
