Chapter 98 - "The Ultimate Warrior: Gogeta"

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Goku and Vegeta, both in their Super Saiyan 4 forms, slowly rose into the sky.

In unison, their power erupted—an earth-shaking surge of energy that made the very heavens tremble. Golden light flooded the battlefield, and the entire planet quaked beneath its weight.

Gohan stared up in disbelief."That pressure… it's overwhelming."

Their roars split the sky, stirring a hurricane that ground everything nearby into dust. Even Omega Shenron was forced back, staggering under the force of their combined aura.

And yet, despite the obvious gulf in strength, Shenron sneered to save face."Hmph. No matter how many small fry show up, the outcome won't change."

Goku and Vegeta stood firm, golden energy blazing around them, their faces calm and unshaken.

"Let's do this, Vegeta!" Goku called.

Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "Kakarot… you know as well as I do—we don't stand a chance like this."

"Yeah," Goku admitted with a nod. "But right now, fighting him is our only option."

"Then we fuse," Vegeta declared.

Goku blinked. "Fuse?"

"I said fusion. Don't play dumb. Get ready!"

On the sidelines, Gohan's eyes lit up. "They're going to fuse—Dad and Uncle Vegeta are really gonna do it!"

The two warriors landed on a flat stretch of ground.

"Oh yeah," Goku said, surprised. "Fusion! I almost forgot about that move."

Shenron's face twisted with rage. "Don't get cocky. I won't let you pull off any tricks!"

He lunged toward them in an instant—only to be intercepted.

"Not happening!" Trunks appeared in front of his father and Goku, driving his boot into Shenron's chest.

"Go for it! Dad—show us the fusion!" he shouted.

But Shenron's arm shot out like a snake, seizing Trunks by the throat. "I'll snap your neck."

Before he could finish, a blast of searing energy ripped through the air, forcing him to release Trunks and dodge.

From her control pod, Bulma pounded the console with fury. "You bastard! Don't you dare lay a hand on my Trunks!"

Laser after laser streaked from her machine, lighting up the battlefield. Trunks called out in panic, "Mom!!"

Smoke billowed, but Gohan emerged carrying Bulma safely."Goten—come on. We can't let him interfere. Dad and Vegeta have to fuse no matter what."

The two brothers charged straight at Shenron.

With a lazy flick of his hand, Shenron launched a golden sphere that blasted Gohan away. Goten lunged with a punch, but Shenron slipped past it and hammered his fist into Goten's gut, then kicked him aside like trash.

"Pathetic gnats. You're starting to annoy me."

Meanwhile, Goku's face split into a grin. "This is great, Vegeta—I never thought I'd hear you suggest fusion."

"Don't make me regret it," Vegeta snapped.

The two spread apart and began the familiar dance.

"Not so fast!" Shenron roared, charging forward.

Trunks teleported directly in front of him. "You're not stopping them!"

He unleashed his ki in a furious explosion, winds howling as his aura flared. Shenron braced, his own energy surging to meet the storm.

"Out of my way, brat!" Shenron snarled, hurling a blazing orb at him.

But it was too late.

"Fusion—HA!!"

Goku and Vegeta's fingertips touched, and in a flash of blinding gold, their bodies vanished into the light.

Shenron dove straight into the radiance, only to be blasted out with a scream, tumbling across the battlefield.

When the glow faded, a single figure stood in the center—red hair, golden aura shimmering with starlight.

The ultimate warrior had arrived.

Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta.

Shenron's eyes widened in shock. "Wh-what are you?!"

The red-haired warrior smirked. "I'm neither Goku nor Vegeta. I'm the one who's going to take you down."

He glanced once at Shenron—and the dragon was thrown back by sheer force of presence alone.

Pan jumped up and down with excitement. "No way! Grandpa and Trunks' dad actually fused!"

Oob staggered over, still in awe. "Unbelievable… Goku and Vegeta together—it's insane."

Gogeta's aura sparkled with cosmic motes of gold, his presence overwhelming.

Shenron roared and charged again, throwing his strongest punch. The moment his fist touched Gogeta's aura, the backlash hurled him away like a rag doll. Blood trickled from his nose.

Gogeta smirked. "That's three punches you've taken from me already. And all you've got is a nosebleed? Impressive."

Shenron froze. "Three punches? What are you talking about?!"

Gogeta tilted his head. "Guess I'll show you this time. Nice and slow."

He beckoned with one finger, openly taunting.

Shenron exploded with rage. "Stop talking nonsense!"

He charged again—

Naruto World

Naruto gawked at the screen, yelling, "Whoa! That transformation is insane! Even Sage Mode wasn't this cool! Man, if I could transform like that, becoming Hokage would be a breeze!"

Sasuke clicked his tongue, annoyed at Naruto's theatrics—but his eyes stayed glued to Gogeta, admiration unspoken."With that kind of power… I could finally do whatever I want."

Choji shoved a fistful of chips into his mouth. "Didn't think martial arts could reach this level. I should really ask Guy-sensei for more training…"

One Piece World

Usopp's jaw dropped. "Oi, Luffy—did you even see that punch? I swear, I didn't catch a thing!"

Luffy scratched his head. "Maybe it's like Haki? Reminds me of when I couldn't see Gramps' punches when I was a kid!" He burst out laughing.

Zoro stepped forward, eyes narrowing. "That red-haired warrior… his strikes are beyond imagination. If I could swing my swords that fast, I'd finally surpass Mihawk."

On the screen, Gogeta barely twitched his fist—and Shenron went flying again, his face swollen and battered.

"This… this isn't possible!" Shenron gasped. "I can't lose—I won't lose!!"

His aura exploded as he gathered everything into one final attack, soaring forward with a devastating kick.

But Gogeta flickered out of sight. Shenron's strike hit nothing but earth, blasting dust and rubble into the sky.

From a distance, Gogeta's mocking voice rang out."What was that supposed to be? Idiot. Don't tell me you're tired already, old man!"

Shenron seethed. "Did you just call me old?!"

Golden orbs swirled into existence at his fingertips, hundreds of them lighting up the battlefield."Let's see you dodge this!"

"..."
