Chapter 241 - 232: Taking Down Hearts! (II) (2/2)

”What are you saying?”, Piccolo responded as a grin appeared on his face. He soon landed beside 17 and the two approached Lagss. They entered their world and engaged in combat.

Vegeta and Trunks did the same, entering their world engaging Zamasu in combat.

This left Nao and Goku behind who were still flying toward Hearts. Nao smiled seeing this.

”I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to fight side by side with you Goku.”, Nao said calmly.

A smile appeared on Goku's face hearing Nao say that. He then responded to him with a laugh.

”Hehe, what are ya sayin' that for Supreme Kai? We're grateful you even bothered joinin' us to fix this mess. That Hearts bastard is super strong. Ya can feel it right?”

”Come on, you can call me by my first name, we've known each other for years already. And yes I can sense his power. It's truly tremendous.”

”Hearin' ya compliment that bastard like that must be the truth. I'm gettin' an itch to start fightin' already! Haha!”, Goku said letting out another laugh.

Nao smiled hearing that and didn't say more. The two soon arrived in front of Hearts. Hearts raised his tight hand again and a golden glow began to shine inside it...

Meanwhile, something else could be seen stirring. Somewhere located very very far away.

Right beneath TokiToki City stood a sealed dimension no one knew existed there. Inside this sealed dimension was mostly darkness which contained the growing Universe Tree.

Beside this darkness stood a lush forest way in the back. Rivers crisscrossed between them and waterfalls crashed down. There was a particular waterfall which was surrounded by lush vegetation to conceal it. Perched on top of this waterfall was a run down capsule building with one large black window sliding across it.

Various machinery and pods containing different colored liquids could be seen littered around. Several monitors stood floating in the back while a purple skinned figure could be seen seated in a large leather black chair in a relaxed manner.

All screens currently showed Nao's image from certain angles as he and Goku stood against Hearts, both waiting to make their move.

That's right. This was Fu! He had not stopped observing Nao ever since he used his Time Ring! A smile even crept on his face before Fu spoke out with a laugh.

”Hahahaha! You truly are providing plenty of data for my experiment Nao. I gave you and your little gang three dragon balls already and thanks to killing C.u.mber and those twins, you secured a couple more. Killing the rest of these will open the path to me. I'm getting quite impatient you know?”, Fu started to monolog yelling out with a crazed laughter.

After slapping his leg with his hand he continued to speak.

”But to think you'd even use a Time Ring to find the exact location of where all this is taking place. Quite ingenious there Nao. That little girl beside you also is a wonder herself! Such power! The Universe Tree is growing nicely and once Hearts finishes gathering enough energy for the Universe Seed, I will be able to combine the two and start Phase Three! Hahaha!”

Letting out another laugh, Fu saw Nao and Goku start fighting with Hearts. A big grin appeared on his face.

”Yes! Yes! Keep fighting, Nao! Destroy Hearts and the rest and gather the last three dragon balls. My door is waiting for your grand entrance!”, Fu declared, even though there was no one beside him.

That loneliness didn't last long as space tore beside him. Another figure came out from the portal sporting a smile on her face as she saw Fu. A motherly warmth soon spread out from her.

She wore a white lab coat over a black and red high-neck mini dress which covered upper parts of her bodysuit that she wears underneath her dress. Her skin was also sky blue in color.

This was Towa! Towa was a Demon from the Demon Realm and was the Demon King's sister. Dabura's sister! As for Fu, he was Towa's son artificially created with Mira's cells, yet Towa treats him as her own child as she was the one who created him!

Towa approached Fu who was currently observing Nao. A smile appeared on her face.

”Fu dear are things still going as planned?”

Hearing Towa's voice, Fu spun his chair around and his grin retuned to a smile.

”Oh its you, Mother. They indeed are. Phase Three will begin soon. Once it does Nao and I will enter a death match. Even if I lose and die our dream will still come to a realization! A new Universe will be born! One without any pain and suffering!”, Fu declared forming a fist with his hand.

Yelling that out, worry appeared in Towa's eyes.

”Fu...must you do this? I don't think I can bear losing you, my finest creation!”

”I must, Mother. I've done endless calculations and I see no way out but my death. May my death bring you happiness, Mother, for you will be the first to live in the paradise we will create.”

”Fu...”, Towa couldn't help but utter his name.

Seeing her say that, Fu spun his chair around once again and resumed his observation. Towa didn't say anything more and only approached the back of his chair, placing her back against it. Silence resumed.

The curtains then fell leaving that place behind. Fu had already come to accept his death. How will this final battle end?

Nao and Goku will have to finish their battle against Hearts before Nao can make his way toward Fu!
