Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Daria's illness And Arrival Of Evil Saiyan Prince Cumber

(After saying this, Goku instantly appears in front of Daria and lands a powerful hit on him.)

(Daria fails to block the attack and is sent flying.)

(But at the same moment, Daria gathers his strength and fires a ki blast at Goku, sending Goku crashing down far away as well.)

(Meanwhile, on the other side, we see Xicor gradually starting to weaken against Xeno Goku, Xeno Vegeta, and Vegeta, but he's still managing to fight all three of them evenly.)

(Seeing this, Vegeta grits his teeth and says.)

Vegeta: "How the hell is this possible?! What kind of power does this Saiyan possess? How is he managing to fight all three of us at once?!"

(And at that moment, Xicor smirks and says.)

Xicor: "You Saiyans of today... what do you know about the Ancient Saiyans? You truly have no idea how powerful we used to be. This is just a glimpse... soon, you'll witness much more."

(Right after saying that, Xicor powers up even further, and in the blink of an eye, he appears right behind Xeno Vegeta, shocking Xeno Goku.)

(Xicor throws a devastating punch at Xeno Vegeta, sending him crashing several steps away.)

(As Xeno Goku rushes to attack Xicor, Xicor vanishes again, appearing right behind Vegeta, blasting him with a powerful ki blast, sending Vegeta flying as well.)

(But Vegeta quickly stands back up, clenching his fists.)

(Just then, Xeno Goku and Vegeta, combining their strength, launch a massive attack together at Xicor.)

(This time, Xicor is unable to block the attack properly and is sent crashing far into the distance, visibly injured.)

(Watching all this unfold, we see that both Xeno Goku and Vegeta are completely exhausted, breathing heavily.)

(Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Goku is also powering up once again, determination burning in his eyes.)

(At the same time, Daria too begins to increase his energy, preparing for the next phase of their battle.)

(But then, we see Goku revert back to his normal form and collapse to the ground.)

(Goku himself is in disbelief, confused about what just happened.)

(At that moment, Daria bursts into loud laughter and says.)

Daria: "As I said you wouldn't be able to use that power for long. And now... it's time for your end."

(As he says this, Daria begins powering up, preparing to finish Goku once and for all.)

(But suddenly, blood starts dripping from Daria's mouth, and he collapses to his knees, shocking everyone present on the battlefield.)

(No one can believe what they're witnessing.)

(And then Goku says.)

Goku: "What... what just happened? Did he also fail to fully master his powers?"

(At the same time, we see that Xicor has also been thrown far away.)

(Xicor, watching everything, shouts.)

Xicor: "No, Daria! Why are you doing this?! Stop! You can't use your full power right now that illness of yours it's getting in the way!"

(Hearing this, Goku is completely shocked, unable to fully grasp what's going on.)

(Goku says.)

Goku: "What... what is this? What's going on here? Daria... he... does he have some kind of illness?"

(At that moment, we see Kaguya, who looks completely shocked.)

(He mutters.)

Kaguya: "What... can this really be true? Does Daria really have that illness? But how...?"

(Hearing this, Goku immediately asks.)

Goku: "What are you talking about, Kaguya? What illness? What's going on here?"

(Kaguya replies.)

Kaguya: "A long time ago, many Saiyans were afflicted by this disease. Even I don't fully understand its nature. But yes... it's true every Saiyan who kept growing stronger over time was eventually affected by a specific kind of illness. All of them became immensely powerful, but one by one, they started falling due to this disease. And none of the Saiyans who got it survived... they all perished."

(Kaguya's voice turns uneasy.)

Kaguya: "But... what I don't understand is if Daria has that same disease, how has he managed to survive for thousands of years? It doesn't make sense..."

(At that moment, we see Xeno Goku speaking up.)

Xeno Goku: "This is it this is our chance! Whatever this illness is, it's weakening him, and we don't know how long this will last. But this is the right time to finish him off! Vegeta, are you ready?"

(After hearing this, Vegeta replies seriously.)

Vegeta: "But... is this really the right thing to do? I am the Prince of all Saiyans, and I refuse to strike down a wounded enemy like this... it goes against my pride."

(At that moment, Xeno Vegeta speaks up angrily.)

Xeno Vegeta: "Enough of your nonsense! Do you understand? If we don't finish him now, your entire multiverse will be destroyed in a way you can't even imagine!"

(We see that Vegeta is still conflicted, unwilling to accept it but after a moment of hesitation, he finally agrees.)

(Then, Vegeta, Xeno Goku, and Xeno Vegeta all three begin powering up to their maximum.)

(Together, they launch a massive combined attack straight toward Daria.)

(Watching this unfold, Xicor looks completely shocked.)

(He's utterly exhausted, unable to even move.)

(The combined attack races toward Daria, just moments away from hitting him...)

(But suddenly a figure appears out of nowhere.)

(That mysterious person deflects the entire attack effortlessly, sending it away.)

(The figure then speaks.)

???: "Hmph... so this is what it's come to? You three call yourselves Saiyans? Three of you ganging up on one injured, helpless, and sick man? And you call yourself the Prince of Saiyans, Vegeta?"

(Hearing this, Vegeta looks stunned.)

(Everyone around them freezes in shock, staring at this mysterious person.)

(As the dust clears, they see he's a Saiyan too.)

(The mysterious Saiyan then turns toward Xicor, saying.)

???: "Xicor... get up. This isn't the right time. We need to leave. Daria is far too weak right now to continue this fight."

(We see that the mysterious figure keeps staring intensely at Vegeta, his gaze sharp and unwavering.)

(At that moment, Xicor slowly stands up, lifting Daria into his arms.)

(Vegeta, narrowing his eyes, demands

Vegeta: "Hey! Who are you? And what the hell are you doing here? How do you even know about me?"

(In response, the mysterious Saiyan finally speaks.)

Cumber: "Vegeta… you're not the only one who bears the title of Prince of Saiyans. My name is Cumber... and I, too, am a prince of the Saiyans."

(He pauses for a moment before continuing.)

Cumber: "It's pathetic, really... You don't even know the truth about your own planet. You don't even know that you're not the only one with royal Saiyan blood. Understand this I hope we meet again soon. Until then, learn about yourself... and learn about the true Saiyan homeworld."

(As he turns to leave, his expression darkens.)

Cumber: "Oh and when we do meet again, none of you will survive. Remember that."

(And after saying this, we see Cumber and Xicor carrying Daria away from there.)

(Witnessing all of this, Vegeta is left completely shocked.)

(He reverts back to his normal form, his mind racing with questions.)

(Vegeta mutters to himself.)

Vegeta: "Was he... also a Saiyan prince? But how is that even possible? Who exactly was he...?"

(Meanwhile, we see Goku has completely lost consciousness, lying motionless on the ground.)

(And then Xeno Goku says.)

Xeno Goku: "For now, we can't focus on all of this, Vegeta. Both of us are taking Grand Zeno to the Grand Priest at Grand Zeno's Palace. You pick up your friend Goku and come with us because there's a lot that's about to happen, things we don't even know about yet. We need to be ready for everything."

(After saying this, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta, carrying Zeno's cage, start heading toward the Omni Palace.)

(Meanwhile, Vegeta lifts the unconscious Goku, preparing to follow them.)

(As Vegeta starts walking, he mutters.)

Vegeta: "Who was that Saiyan claiming to be a Saiyan prince? And what did he say...? The true Saiyan planet? What was he talking about?Looks like, just like Kakarot, I'll have to uncover the true history of the Saiyans... and about myself as well. Could Kakarot be right?"

(But shaking his head, Vegeta continues.)

Vegeta: "No... now's not the time for that. I need to get to the Omni Palace as soon as possible, with Kakarot. Answers will have to wait."

(With that, Vegeta also starts making his way toward the Omni Palace, determination in his eyes.)
