As you and Goku stared at Turles, you both backed away and started to power up. Turles watched you and Goku's hair starting to float. Pressing a button on his scouter, he scanned Goku's power level.
'Unbelievable, his power level is rising!'
He then turned towards you, but it started to glitch, causing confusion to form on his face. Before he could say anything, he was punched in the face by Goku, causing him to take flight.
You and Goku followed him as Turles started to fight back. He tried to strike Goku, but he vanished, giving you an opening to hit Turles in the stomach.
He quickly recovered and tried to kick you, but you dodged out of the way. He was starting to break a sweat.
'These two are more of a challenge than I thought!' He blocked most of Goku's strikes but felt a pain in his side from your kick.
Gaining distance, Turles was making a run for it, making you both chase after him. He jumped and grabbed something from the ceiling but still made a run for it.
You both stopped a few feet away from him, seeing a smirk form on his face. You telepathically send a message to Goku. 'What's he doing now?'
'I don't know, but I don't like the feeling of this,' responded Goku. Turles let out an evil chuckle, holding something in his hand.
"If you thought I was strong before, just wait until I eat this fruit" he lifted his hand and took a bite of the fruit. Seconds later, his body started to grow, causing Goku's eyes to widen.
With no hesitation, he smacked Goku out of the way and made his way towards you. Blocking the incoming strike, you were pushed back a few feet.
Turles continued to rush towards you, but you both hand-locked each other, making you both try to push the other back. You powered up a bit and head-butted him away from you.
'Nemui can still keep up with me, even when I consume the fruit. I wonder if he would overpower me if he ate the fruit' he thought to himself as you both started to exchange blows.
He slammed his knee into your stomach, but you countered and struck his jaw.
"My, my... You're able to keep up with me, Nemui. Are you stronger than Kakarot himself?" he asked as he tried to block your hits.
"I don't know, never fought him before" you retorted back as a small smirk form on your face.
Turles smirked widened as he spiked you to the ground, but you were able to recover and uppercut him in the jaw. He touched his jaw, feeling a small stream of blood flow from the bottom of his mouth.
While staring at you, he licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. But the way he did it caused you to shiver a bit, seeing a slight sultry look in his eyes.
'He made me bleed for the first time... That's new' he thought as you both continued to dodge each other's strikes.
"Kaio-ken... Times ten!!"
Turles turned around to see Goku charge at him with red aura, but he dodged the strikes that were aimed at him. Goku felt himself getting annoyed as his strikes weren't connecting. Turles kicked him away, but he felt you elbow his back.
He tried to swing his fist towards you, but you caught him and threw him against the tree. Before you could strike once more, he vanished, causing you to hit the tree, making a dent.
Turning around, he tried to pin you against the tree, causing you both to hand-lock once more. Turles felt something inside him. Excitement, trill.
You were able to put up a good fight against him. "Even though we look exactly like each other, you're even more alluring up close" he chuckled when he saw a tint of pink on your cheeks.
"If you both surrender, we can get rid of Kakarot. Both of us will rule the universe. Have you ever thought about that?"
He saw you shake your head and tried to head-butt him again, but he was moved away.
His eyes then widened slightly when he saw your hair start to float slightly, a black tint of aura forming around you.
While he was slightly distracted, you slammed your knee in his stomach, causing the hand-lock to break. Putting your fist together, you spike him to the ground and rush towards him.
Back with Goku, he was breathing heavily as he struggled to get up from the ground. He really hoped you were doing okay against Turles.
He stopped when he heard the telepathic messages from his friends.
'Goku, you must keep fighting! Get up!'
'Please, Goku, we need your help!'
Goku tried to get up, but he used too much ki when he used kaio-ken. He started to speak back to them. 'Piccolo, Yamcha, I can't...'
'Goku, remember your friends and allies'
'We're here Goku'
He then heard the voice of his son. 'Dad, I know you can. You saved me, and you can save all of us. Nemui still has him distracted'
Goku then started to slowly get up, feeling the pain in his body. 'I have to get up. Nemui, just wait a bit longer.'
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
You both chased each other back and forth around the tree, exchanging blows and trying to pull sneak attacks. It was an equal match between the two of you.
While fighting, you both stopped when you felt a few presences that floated a few feet away from you. Turning around, you both see Goku's friends. Their Gi's were torn apart, blood slightly streamed down their faces and bruises.
'Great. Why are they here? They stand no chance against me'
Turles as he watched them get into a defensive stance. While he was distracted, he felt your elbow strike his back, but he recovered when Piccolo and the others made their way towards him.
Continuing to fight, you felt energy being flowed out of the earth and being transported to somewhere, seeing that it was Goku charging up a spirit bomb.
'What?! How is he able to do that?!'
When Goku finished charging the spirit bomb, he cocked his hand back and threw it at him, but it didn't even come close when Turles fired a blast at the ball of ki, destroying it while getting closer to Goku.
You quickly rushed towards Goku and moved him out of the way, covering your heads from the debris that flew everywhere. Turles stared down at you two, a sinister chuckle flowed out of his lips.
"It's too late. All the energy from this planet is no more. You've failed to save your planet, Kakarot. Lucky I still have some fruits left"
All of Goku's friends were laying on the ground in pain, some of them were out cold. You watched Goku raise his hand up against the air as he laid on the ground.
You then heard King Kai talking telepathically. 'The fruit still has a lot of energy from the earth. You need to get that energy!'
Goku then saw a bright, yellow orb a few feet away from him. 'It's like I'm feeling the energy from the tree' he thought.
Getting up from the ground, he held his arm in pain as he slowly made his way to the tree, coming closer to the energy.
You took flight slowly, knowing that he couldn't sense your energy. While he was watching Goku, you put your hand behind your back, slowly charging ki into your hand, waiting for the right moment to release it.
"Turles!"
As Goku yelled his name, Turles wondered how he was able to get up. He was also more confused when he felt the energy leak out of the fruits.
"Impossible... How are you still alive?" Turles demanded.
"I have the power of nature in me. A man's true strength comes from the earth" He then looked behind Turles, seeing that you were charging something up.
You two gave each other a nod before Goku focused on Turles.
"Kakarot, you don't have a choice. The tree has already taken it away. It's in the fruit. You and your friends are defeated. The earth is a barren wasteland"
"But you forgot one thing," Goku added, making Turles raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"Now Nemui!"
Getting Goku's signal, you cocked back your hand and threw the powered up ki blast. Turles tried to fire a blast, but he felt your burning ki blast hit his back. Goku then pulled out another spirit bomb and threw it at Turles.
Turles was now screaming in pain as he felt the burning ki envelope his entire body, feeling himself disintegrating.
Both blasts caused you and Goku to be pushed away as the tree was starting to break apart. His screams came to an end when the tree exploded, causing a bright light to surround the entire forest.
Opening your eyes, you see small, gold orbs littering the area, making its way towards the forest and the city to revive the area.
You then see an orb that was different from the golden ones. This one was purple.
The different colored orb started to rub against your face, like it was trying to tickle you. Putting your hands out, it landed softly as you see someone in the orb. It was Turles.
He wore an upset expression that was mixed with anger, but he looked lonely. Raising one of your fingers, you gently soothed the purple orb, causing Turles to look up.
His expression changed, making him look fascinated.
Soothing the orb, you saw him leaning slowly against the touch, as if you were actually petting him. The purple orb then lifted itself from your hand and slowly went to your chest, going inside your body.
You felt a shiver run through your body, as if you collected the energy and strength from the orb and Turles.
Looking around, you see Goku sitting up with a proud smile on his face. "You feel okay, Goku?" you asked while covering your mouth as you yawned.
"Yeah... I'm glad that this is all over, everything's being restored,"
Tired smiles formed on both of your faces but perked up when you heard King Kai.
'You did it! Now that the tree of might is destroyed, the earth is restored!'
While sitting down, you see Goku slowly making his way towards you. Once he sat down, he enveloped you in a comforting hug, causing a tired chuckle to flow out of your lips.
As he nuzzled into your neck, you felt yourself blush from the affection. You were both tired from the fight. All the energy that went into the ki blast and spirit bombs took a lot from you both.
"Thank you, Nemui. I'm glad that we were able to save the earth. I'm glad that you helped me and my friends as well, "
"You're welcome. I really need a nap right now" Goku chuckled at the statement.
Before you could close your eyes, you felt Goku's lips press gently on your neck, pink dust littering your cheeks.
You gently combed his wild hair, hearing a purr emit from his body as he fell asleep. Before you could close your eyes and rest, the voice from before spoke to you telepathically.
'How are you feeling?'
'I'm fine... just tired from the battle...' you answered back.
'I know, you two did a great job,' you thanked him as you waited for the voice to speak again. 'Do you remember when you absorbed that purple orb?'
'Yeah, Turles was in there. What was all that about?'
'Well, when you defeat enemies, you are able to absorb their energy and strength. It will help you throughout the way' the voice explained.
'Even when going back to your timeline, you will still have that energy. Also, they can appear in your world, but your friends can't see them'
After the voice explained the information, a hum emitted from you as you felt your eyelids become heavier, feeling yourself fall asleep with Goku cuddling against you.
A few moments passed before Gohan was picked up by Icarus, making their way to the top of the tree. He smiled when he saw his father sleeping next to you.
Him and his pet slowly went towards you two and made themselves comfortable against you, falling asleep as well.
What they didn't know was that you were going to be transported back to your timeline when you woke up from your nap.
