Chapter Text
The battlefield was a scene of chaos and brilliance, as Louise and Vindros continued their fierce battle, their powers clashing in a dazzling display of light and dark. Every strike sent shockwaves through the ground, and the air was thick with the raw energy of their conflict. Goku, Vegeta, and the others watched with bated breath, their eyes glued to the epic confrontation.
Louise's determination was palpable, her void magic weaving intricate patterns as she attacked and defended with equal fervor. Each move was precise, a testament to her rigorous training and the strength she had cultivated. Vindros, however, was relentless, his dark magic swirling around him like a living shadow, absorbing and countering her attacks with increasing ferocity.
"You can't win, Vindros!" Louise shouted, her voice echoing across the battlefield. "Your reign of terror ends here!"
Vindros sneered, his eyes blazing with fury. "You're delusional! I will crush you and everyone who stands in my way!"
The ground beneath them trembled as Vindros unleashed a powerful wave of dark energy. Louise countered with a shield of void magic, the two forces colliding in a spectacular explosion of light and dark. The impact sent both combatants skidding backward, but neither showed any sign of backing down.
From the sidelines, Beerus watched intently, his eyes narrowing as he assessed the situation. "Come on, Louise," he muttered under his breath. "Show me what you've got."
Zeno, standing beside the Grand Priest, clapped his hands excitedly. "This is so much fun! Go, Louise!"
The Grand Priest smiled calmly, his gaze steady as he observed the battle. "Indeed, it is quite the spectacle."
Louise pressed her advantage, launching a flurry of attacks that forced Vindros to retreat. Her void magic crackled with energy, each strike aimed with precision and purpose. Vindros, however, was far from defeated. His frustration was growing, and with it, his determination to end the fight.
With a roar of rage, Vindros unleashed a torrent of dark energy, his magic intensifying as his anger reached its peak. "Enough!" he bellowed, his voice shaking the very ground. "I will not be humiliated by you any longer!"
The sheer force of his attack overwhelmed Louise's defenses, and she was forced onto the back foot. Vindros pressed his advantage, his blows landing with brutal efficiency. Each strike pushed Louise further back, her strength waning as she struggled to keep up.
Vindros's attacks became more vicious, each one a hammer blow of dark magic. Louise's shield shattered under the onslaught, and she was left vulnerable to his relentless assault. "You're finished, child!" Vindros snarled, his eyes burning with triumph.
From the sidelines, Goku and the others watched in horror as the tide of battle turned against Louise. "Come on, Louise, get up!" Goku shouted, his fists clenched in frustration.
Vegeta's expression was grim, his eyes fixed on the fight. "She needs to find a way to turn this around. She can't let him win."
Beerus's gaze never wavered, his expression unreadable. He watched closely, his mind racing with thoughts of what Louise might do next. "Come on, girl," he muttered. "Don't let him beat you."
Vindros, sensing victory within his grasp, attacked with renewed ferocity. His blows landed with bone-crunching force, each one driving Louise closer to the edge of defeat. "You were a fool to think you could stand against me," he gloated. "Now, witness the end of your defiance!"
Louise, battered and bruised, struggled to her feet, her breathing labored. Despite the pain and exhaustion, her eyes burned with determination. "I'm not done yet," she said, her voice firm. "I won't let you win."
Vindros laughed, a cold, mocking sound. "Still defiant to the end? Very well, let's finish this."
As Vindros raised his hand to deliver the final blow, something within Louise snapped. The desperation and determination she felt surged into a potent force. Suddenly, a radiant purple aura surrounded her, her void magic mixing with an unexpected energy. Her hair shifted to a deep purple hue, and the sheer power emanating from her caused the ground to tremble.
Beerus's eyes widened in recognition. "Destruction Energy," he muttered. "So she'd finally mastered it."
He remembered the final test he had given her during their training when she had unleashed a glimpse of this power, but now it was unmistakable. "She's using Destruction Energy to its fullest extent."
Vindros hesitated, sensing the shift in power. "What is this?" he demanded, his voice tinged with fear.
Louise's eyes glowed with the intensity of her newfound power. "This ends now, Vindros!"
With a renewed burst of strength, Louise attacked, her blows infused with destructive energy. Each strike landed with devastating force, driving Vindros back. The ground cracked and shattered under the impact, and the air was filled with the sound of their clashing energies.
The others watched in awe, their eyes wide with shock. "What's happening?" Goku asked, his voice filled with amazement.
Vegeta's eyes narrowed as he observed Louise's transformation. "That's Destruction Energy. She's tapping into the power of a God of Destruction."
Zeno clapped his hands with glee. "This is so exciting! Louise is amazing!"
Vindros, now on the defensive, struggled to keep up with Louise's relentless assault. Each blow sent him reeling, and the dark magic that had once seemed invincible now faltered under the sheer power of Louise's attacks.
"You can't stop me!" Vindros shouted, his voice filled with desperation. "I am the master of darkness!"
Louise's voice was calm and steady as she delivered her final attack. "It's over for you, Vindros."
With a powerful surge of Destruction Energy, Louise struck Vindros with a devastating blow that shattered his defenses and sent him crashing to the ground. The impact created a massive crater, and the dark energy surrounding Vindros dissipated, leaving him defeated and powerless. For a moment, the battlefield was silent, the air heavy with the aftermath of their epic clash.
But then, a low growl echoed from the crater. Vindros, though clearly hurt, pushed himself up from the ground. His body trembled with anger and disbelief, his eyes blazing with fury. "No... This can't be happening," he snarled. "I can't be losing to you!"
Louise, her body glowing with the purple aura of Destruction Energy, stood ready. "It's over, Vindros. You can't win."
Vindros, ignoring the pain coursing through his body, gathered the remnants of his dark energy. "I won't be defeated by a mere human!" he roared, launching himself at Louise with renewed desperation.
The fight resumed with an intensity that left everyone watching in stunned silence. Louise, now fully embracing her Destruction Energy, moved with a confidence and power that seemed almost otherworldly. Her attacks were swift and precise, each one infused with the raw power of destruction.
Vindros, his desperation driving him, fought back with everything he had. His dark magic flared violently, each strike aimed to end the battle quickly. But Louise, her movements fluid and controlled, countered each attack with devastating efficiency.
"Don't think you've won!" Vindros shouted, his voice laced with desperation.
Louise's eyes burned with determination. "Your darkness can't compare to the power of destruction," she replied, her voice steady. She unleashed a barrage of Destruction Energy, each blast tearing through Vindros's defenses and pushing him back.
Realizing he was on the brink of defeat, Vindros gathered his remaining energy for one final, all-out attack. "This ends now!" he screamed, unleashing a massive wave of dark magic.
Louise, her purple aura flaring brighter, raised her hands and met the wave head-on. Her Destruction Energy surged forward, overwhelming Vindros's dark magic and consuming it. She closed the distance between them in an instant, grabbing his arm and holding him in place with an unyielding grip.
Vindros struggled, his eyes wide with fear and disbelief. "No! This can't be happening!" he shouted, but his voice was drowned out by the power emanating from Louise.
With a calm, stoic expression, Louise raised her palm toward Vindros's face. "Hakai," she uttered, her voice steady and resolute.
A blinding flash of purple energy enveloped Vindros, and he let out a final, agonized scream as his body and essence were completely erased from existence. The light faded, leaving only silence and a faint wisp of residual energy where Vindros once stood.
The battlefield fell silent as the dust settled, and Louise stood tall, her purple aura gradually fading. The others rushed to her side, their faces filled with relief and admiration.
"You did it, Louise!" Goku exclaimed, his voice filled with pride. "That was incredible!"
Vegeta nodded, his expression serious but respectful. "You've come a long way, Louise. You've earned this victory."
Beerus, watching from a distance, allowed himself a small smile. "Well done, Louise," he murmured.
Louise, her body aching from the exertion, managed a tired smile before falling back onto the ground comedically. "I am so exhausted," she sighed, her voice tinged with both relief and humor.
Goku knelt beside her, his grin wide and genuine. "That was an amazing fight. Next time we gotta spar too."
Gohan nodded, his eyes filled with pride. "You really showed your strength out there."
Broly, usually reserved, gave her a nod of respect. "Your power... it was incredible."
Julio, who had watched the battle with bated breath, smiled warmly. "I always knew you had it in you, Louise."
Tiffania, her eyes glistening with unshed tears of relief, gently touched Louise's hand. "You were so brave."
Beerus stood back, his arms crossed and a proud smirk on his face. "You've proven yourself worthy, Louise. You've come a long way."
Just then, a familiar portal shimmered into existence, and Whis stepped through, his serene expression unchanging as he took in the scene. "Well, well, it seems I've missed quite the spectacle," he said, approaching Beerus.
Beerus glanced at Whis and nodded slightly. "You could say that."
Whis leaned in and whispered cryptically, "It appears we won't be needing what you sent me to retrieve, Lord Beerus."
Beerus nodded again, his eyes still on Louise. "Keep it on the down low. We might need it in the future."
Whis smiled knowingly and stood back, his gaze shifting to Louise. "Congratulations, Louise. Your performance was quite impressive."
As the group gathered closer, the Grand Priest and Zeno approached, their presence commanding attention. The Grand Priest smiled warmly at Louise. "You have done well, Louise. Your strength and determination are commendable. However, I have some unfortunate news to share."
Everyone's attention snapped to the Grand Priest, their expressions shifting from relief to concern. "What do you mean, Grand Priest?" Goku asked, his brow furrowing.
The Grand Priest sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over the group. "This universe is quite familiar to me. It reminds me that this universe was slated for erasure long ago. It seems it had been forgotten about, hence why it still exists."
Zeno, nodding innocently, added, "Oh yes, I remember that too! We forgot to erase it."
The Grand Priest continued, his voice calm but firm. "It was nice meeting you, Louise, and visiting your universe. But I'm afraid this universe will be erased from existence along with everyone in it. The good news is that since Lord Zeno likes you, Louise, you and your friends will keep existing."
The shock was palpable. Goku, Vegeta, and the others were stunned into silence, their eyes wide with disbelief. "What?" Louise gasped, her mind reeling. "But... but you can't!"
Zeno floated up, his hands starting to glow with an ominous light. "Bye-bye, Universe!" he said cheerfully, completely unaware of the gravity of his actions.
Beerus, reacting quickly, shouted, "Everyone, get next to Whis!"
Whis, understanding the urgency, created a protective barrier around the group. "Hold on tight," he instructed, his voice steady despite the chaos.
As Zeno's hands glowed brighter, the entire universe seemed to tremble. With a final, cheerful wave, Zeno unleashed his power, and everything went white.
The overwhelming brightness faded, leaving only a stark white void of nothingness. Zeno and the Grand Priest said their goodbyes and teleported away, leaving Louise and the others in the emptiness.
Louise, still reeling from the shock, looked around at the empty expanse. "Everyone's... gone," she whispered, her voice filled with disbelief and sorrow.
The group stood together in the stark, white void, the silence around them heavy with the weight of their shared loss. The universe they had fought so hard to protect was no more, erased in an instant by Zeno's innocent yet devastating power. The reality of the situation began to sink in, and the enormity of what had happened left them speechless.
Goku, his voice tinged with disbelief. "I can't believe it... Everything's just... gone."
Vegeta, usually stoic, looked around the void with a rare expression of vulnerability. "How could this happen?"
Broly and Gohan stood side by side, their expressions a mix of shock and sorrow. "All those people," Gohan whispered.
Julio, normally the voice of reason and calm, found himself unable to articulate the depth of his feelings. He simply shook his head, his eyes reflecting the void around them.
Tiffania, tears streaming down her face, held onto Louise's hand tightly. "What do we do now?"
Louise, still in a state of shock, looked around the void, her heart heavy with the loss of her entire universe. "Everyone's... gone," she whispered, her voice breaking. "Everything I fought for... just gone."
Beerus, standing apart from the group, watched the scene with a mixture of irritation and annoyance. "This is a mess," he muttered under his breath. "I didn't expect Zeno to actually erase the entire universe."
Whis, ever calm and composed, stepped forward. "Lord Beerus, shall we proceed with the plan?"
Beerus nodded, his expression hardening. "Yes, Whis. Do you still have what you retrieved earlier?"
Whis nodded. "Yes, Lord Beerus."
Goku, catching the exchange, looked at Whis curiously. "What are you talking about? What did you get?"
Whis turned to the group, his expression serene. "We will be heading to Universe 7. There are some matters we need to attend to there."
The others exchanged confused glances. "Universe 7?" Vegeta asked.
Whis smiled gently. "All will be explained in due time."
As Whis prepared to open a portal, Louise remained in disbelief, her mind reeling from the loss of her universe. She could still see the faces of the people she had fought to protect, hear their voices in her mind. "How can this be real?" she whispered, tears streaming down her face. "How can everything be gone?"
Beerus rolled his eyes and stepped forward. "Stop being such a crybaby, Louise," he said bluntly.
With that, Whis opened a shimmering portal, its light cutting through the void. "Please, everyone, step through. We have a long journey ahead of us."
One by one, the group stepped through the portal, leaving the empty void behind. Louise, her heart heavy with grief, was the last to step through, her mind still grappling with the loss of her universe.
As they emerged into the familiar surroundings of Universe 7, the group found themselves on a serene planet, its skies clear and its landscape tranquil. The contrast to the void they had just left was stark, and it took a moment for them to adjust.
Goku looked around, recognizing the planet instantly. "This is Earth! We're back on Earth!"
Vegeta, his eyes scanning the horizon, nodded. "But why here? What does Earth have to do with fixing what happened?"
Whis stepped forward, his expression calm. "This is where we will begin to set things right. Trust in the process."
Louise, still overwhelmed by grief, looked around with vacant eyes. "How can anything be set right? Everything's gone..."
Beerus waved his hand dismissively. "Not everything. Whis, show her."
Whis nodded. "Yes, Lord Beerus." He raised his staff, and with a flicker of light, the massive, shimmering Super Dragon Balls began to materialize in the sky above them. Each one was planet-sized, taking up a significant portion of the sky and casting a golden glow across the void.
Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Louise, Tiffania, Broly, and Julio looked up in awe, their eyes wide with amazement. "Those are... Dragon Balls?" Goku exclaimed.
Gohan, his voice filled with hope, turned to Whis. "What are we going to do with them?"
Whis smiled gently. "These are the Super Dragon Balls, capable of granting any wish without limit. We will use them to restore what was lost."
Louise, still in shock but now with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, looked at Whis. "You mean... we can bring back the entire universe?"
Beerus waved his hand dismissively. "Technically, yes, the Super Dragon Balls can bring back your universe, but if we used the wish for that, Zeno would just erase it again."
Louise's eyes widened in shock. "Then what's the point? Why did we even have the Dragon Balls?"
Beerus sighed, clearly annoyed. "The reason we had the Dragon Balls in the first place was just in case things went south."
Louise took a deep breath and, her sorrow momentarily giving way to anger, said, "So you doubted I would win?"
Beerus brushed off her accusation with a nonchalant wave. "Not really. It was just a precaution. Anyway, instead of bringing back your entire universe, which would be pointless, we'll use the Dragon Balls to bring back your planet in Universe 7, along with everyone who was lost."
Louise was still in disbelief, but she nodded slowly, understanding that this was their best option. "Alright... I guess that's the best we can do."
Beerus turned to Whis. "Whis, make the wish."
Whis nodded and raised his staff, speaking the incantation to summon Super Shenron. "Come forth, Dragon of the Gods, and grant my wish pretty peas!"
The sky above them filled with light as the Super Dragon Balls began to glow even brighter. Super Shenron, the dragon of the Super Dragon Balls, materialized in the sky, his massive form stretching across the entire sky. His eyes glowed with a fierce golden light as he gazed down at the group.
"State your wish," Super Shenron's voice boomed, reverberating through the void.
Whis spoke in the language of the Gods, his voice clear and commanding. "Restore the planet of Louise from Universe 0 and all the lives lost from Vindros and his servants to Universe 7."
Super Shenron's eyes glowed brighter as he processed the wish. "Your wish is granted," the dragon intoned, and with a blinding flash of light, the sky began to shift and transform.
The group found themselves on Earth, looking up to see a spectacular sight: Louise's planet materializing far off in the sky, surrounded by the shimmering light of the Super Dragon Balls. The massive Dragon Balls then shot out in different directions, spreading out across the multiverse once their task was complete.
Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Louise, Tiffania, and Julio looked up in awe and relief. "We're back," Goku said, his voice filled with joy.
Vegeta nodded, a rare smile on his face. "It worked. Everything is as it was."
Louise, tears of relief streaming down her face, looked at Beerus and Whis. "Thank you... Thank you so much."
Beerus shrugged nonchalantly. "Just remember, you owe me one."
Whis smiled serenely. "It was our pleasure. Now, let's make sure everything is truly restored."
As they watched Louise's planet settle into its new place in the sky, a sense of hope and triumph filled the air. They had faced unimaginable loss, but with the power of the Super Dragon Balls, they had brought back everything they had fought for.
Gohan placed a hand on Louise's shoulder. "It looks like everything is back to normal."
Tiffania hugged Louise tightly. "I'm so glad we're all here together."
Julio looked up at the sky, a sense of wonder in his eyes. "It's incredible. We actually did it."
As the group took in the restored planet, the sense of hope and triumph filled the air. They had faced unimaginable loss, but with the power of the Super Dragon Balls, they had brought back everything they had fought for.
The skies over Louise's planet were clear and bright, a stark contrast to the cataclysmic events that had transpired just moments ago. The air was filled with the sounds of life and celebration, as everyone who had ceased to exist found themselves miraculously returned. Joy and relief spread through the streets and countryside, and the atmosphere charged with a renewed sense of hope and gratitude.
In the bustling city center, Louise's two older sisters, Eléonore and Cattleya, stood together, their expressions a mix of confusion and joy. They had been on the verge of nothingness, and now, here they were, back in their world, safe and sound.
"Eléonore, can you believe this?" Cattleya asked, her gentle voice filled with wonder. "We were... gone, and now we're back. It feels like a dream."
Eléonore, usually stern and composed, allowed herself a rare smile. "I don't understand it either, Cattleya. But I'm grateful. Louise must have had something to do with this."
Nearby, Kirche and Tabitha were also coming to terms with their sudden return. Kirche, ever the dramatic one, threw her arms around Tabitha, who stood calmly, her eyes scanning their surroundings.
"Tabitha! We're back! Can you believe it?" Kirche exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.
Tabitha nodded, her usual stoic demeanor softened by a small smile. "Yes, Kirche. It's... a miracle."
Guiche, standing with his friends Montmorency and Malicorne, looked around in awe. "I don't know how this happened, but I'm just glad we're all here. I'm sure Louise had something to do with it."
Montmorency nodded, her eyes glistening with tears of relief. "We owe her everything."
In the royal palace, Queen Henrietta was overwhelmed with emotion. She had been ready to face oblivion, and now, her kingdom was restored. She looked out over her city, her heart swelling with gratitude.
"Thank you, Louise," she whispered to herself. "Thank you for bringing us back."
Even Piccolo, who had been brought back, stood stoically on a hill overlooking the city. He allowed himself a small, knowing smirk as he sensed the renewed energy of the planet. "It all worked out in the end," he murmured. "Good job, all of you."
The perspective shifted to a darker corner of the planet, where King Joseph and his loyal servant Sheffield stood in the shadows of their castle. The air around them was thick with a sense of foreboding, a stark contrast to the joy felt elsewhere.
King Joseph, a tall figure with a menacing aura, gazed out of the window, his eyes gleaming with dark ambition. "So, Vindros is defeated," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "The fool thought he could control everything. But now that he's out of the way, I can pursue my own ambitions without interference."
Sheffield, ever loyal and cunning, bowed deeply to her master. "I have always followed you, my king. And I will continue to do so. Vindros was a means to an end. Now, we can proceed with our true plans."
Joseph turned to Sheffield, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "Indeed. With Vindros gone, nothing can stand in our way. We will reshape this world as we see fit, and those who oppose us will learn the true meaning of fear."
Sheffield's eyes gleamed with a dark excitement. "What is our next move, my lord?"
Joseph turned back to the window, his gaze fixed on the horizon. "We will consolidate our power. Strengthen our forces. And when the time is right, we will strike. This world will bow to us, or it will burn."
Sheffield bowed again, her loyalty unwavering. "As you command, my king."
The scene shifted back to the heart of the city, where people continued to celebrate their miraculous return. Laughter and music filled the air, and families embraced each other, grateful for the second chance they had been given.
Louise's friends and allies, now aware of her role in their restoration, began to gather in the city square. The sense of community and unity was stronger than ever, and they knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together.
As the sun set over the restored planet, the heroes stood together, their hearts filled with hope and determination. They had overcome incredible odds, and though the future was uncertain, they were ready to face it head-on.
