The second Bellra noticed the artificial moon hanging over the battlefield, her stomach dropped. Her body reacted before her mind did.

A pulse slammed into her chest hard enough to knock the air out of her lungs. Her tail snapped violently behind her and she stumbled across the rubble, boots grinding against broken stone before she caught herself.

Then it hit again. Stronger this time.

“…Lotren, you dumb motherfucker…”



The words came out under her breath while she threw an arm over her eyes, trying not to look directly at it anymore. But she already knew it wouldn’t help. The second she saw the moon, it was already too late. Her body had started responding.

Bellra dropped hard to one knee, one hand catching herself against the ground as pain rolled through her back and shoulders. Not sharp pain. Deep pain. The kind that sat inside your bones and kept spreading, her muscles tightened involuntarily beneath her skin. Her tail lashed again, smashing a loose chunk of rubble apart beside her.

“...God..dammit..”

She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to steady her breathing, but another pulse hit before she could recover. Dust lifted around her in uneven bursts. Small pieces of stone rattled across the battlefield while her aura flickered wildly around her body, unstable and messy.

Everything suddenly felt too loud.



She could hear the battlefield way too clearly now. Every shifting piece of rubble. Every breath. Every heartbeat. Blood dripping somewhere nearby. It all crashed together until her head started pounding.

And underneath it was that feeling. That instinct. Heavy. Violent. Buried somewhere deep inside her chest and clawing its way upward.

Bellra pressed a shaking hand against the side of her head and forced herself to stay upright while another painful crack rolled through her body. Her posture hunched slightly as pressure built beneath her skin, stretching muscle and bone in ways that felt wrong. sweat slid down the side of her face. Her breathing was rough now, she looked up again the artificial moon hung there silently above the battlefield.

“…Shit…”

The word barely left her mouth this time, because she could feel herself slipping.

Every second under that light made it harder to think straight. Her thoughts kept getting interrupted by flashes of aggression and instinct that didn’t fully feel like her own. Her tail kept moving without permission. Her aura pulsed harder every time her focus slipped, and what scared her most was realizing a part of her wanted to stop fighting it, soon to follow, the metamorphosis.

His brown eyes remained locked on the projection through the circular window, pupils narrowing as the Battle unfolded faster than his mind could properly process. Light from the consistent energy beams going off flickered across his face in uneven flashes, each violent impact briefly illuminating the tension settling into his expression. His posture stiffened almost immediately, fingers tightening around his biceps in his crossed-arm position. A sharp breath caught in his throat before finally escaping under his breath.

Zerith: "...What?"

The calm in his face cracked, his brows came together in disbelief, settling in faster than he could hide. Even the steadiness of the ship, the vibrations beneath the floor, the soft pull of machinery behind the walls seemed to fade behind the sight playing in front of him.This wasn't supposed to happen, his brother, and another Saiyan being backed in a corner? Unacceptable! His finger's slowly tightened against the fabric of the compressed suit, creasing the material beneath his grip as something heavier began to settle in his chest. A low, guttural sound slipped from his throat before he could stop it. The shock didn't last long as it turned to anger immediately.

Zerith: "What is that fool doing?—"

His words were caught in his throat the moment he noticed the change in Lotren's body. His body began to shift first, followed by; the Saiyan girl accompanying him. Zerith recognized these sudden changes, it was a last resort. Especially for Lotren, a Saiyan of royal blood, an elite being forced to use something so primal. Still the situation had already gone too far for pride to matter. His gaze lifted toward the planet's moon, it was time he joined the fray. The moment his eyes met it, his body reacted almost immediately. Thump His heartbeat slammed harder against his chest , each pulse growing louder than the previous as something deep in him had been awakened. Muscles tightened, bones shifted, his frame started to gradually grow in size. The armor and clothing expanded along with him, stretching to accommodate the sudden increase in size. Then came the roar, loud enough to shake the interior of the ship.

The metal beneath his feet groaned violently as the structure struggled to withstand the growth. Cracks spread across the ceiling before his expanding upper body finally burst through the top of the ship entirely, tearing metal apart in a violent eruption. Warning lights immediately flared throughout the interior as the ship's altitude began to drop. Zerith's roar tore through the air with enough force to make the space around him tremble. The vibrations came outwards in heavy waves, rattling the atmosphere itself. What little restraint remained within him was starting to slip away. Thick fur spread fully across his expanded body while the extension of his tail fully completed behind him, swaying with growth instability.

The ship finally crashed into the ground beneath him. The impact triggered a violent chain of explosions that erupted around Zerith as the transformation was nearing its completion. Smoke and fire rolled out in waves while the massive figure of the Legendary Great Ape emerged from within' the destruction itself. His crimson-coated eyes locked forward immediately, a low growl rumbling from deep in his chest. Flames flickered against the thick smoke surrounding him, casting shifting shadows across his enormous frame, giving him a truly monstrous presence.

[Story]

Zorkon stood with one arm hanging unnaturally from the earlier damage Vane had inflicted while dust slowly settled across ruined stone and shattered terrain. Blood continued dripping from the shallow wounds Lotren’s earlier counterattack had managed to carve into his shoulder and side, though his expression showed only mild annoyance rather than concern. The aftermath of the Timeskip Molotov should have ended the Saiyan completely, or at the very least removed him from the battle long enough to become irrelevant. Yet deep within the crater where Lotren had been violently driven into the earth, movement remained, subtle at first but impossible to ignore. Zorkon’s pale eyes narrowed slightly as he watched broken stone shift and smoke drift apart, revealing Lotren’s battered form barely moving beneath the destruction. The Saiyan looked nearly unconscious, bloodied and broken, but instead of staring toward his attacker, Lotren slowly lifted his gaze upward toward the artificial moon. At first, nothing seemed unusual beyond the obvious desperation of a dying warrior searching the sky for some final answer. Then Lotren’s body started pulsing. Zorkon tilted his head faintly as more in pure shock as jagged cracks spread outward from the crater floor in branching patterns. Since Zorkon lacked the ability to sense ki, he could not feel any hidden rise in power and instead judged only what his eyes physically revealed. What he saw unsettled him more than he cared to admit, because Lotren’s body had begun changing in ways that looked entirely unnatural.

Lotren’s irises ignited into a bright crimson glow while his arms suddenly expanded, his muscle swelling unnaturally until they looked too large to belong to his body. Despite everything happening before him, Zorkon remained outwardly calm, largely because he lacked the ability to perceive whatever invisible strength was rising beneath the transformation. He exhaled quietly through his nose and dismissed it as nothing more than some desperate survival tactic, muttering coldly beneath his breath.
​

Zorkon: Hmph.. A desperation technique​

His attention shifted the moment Bellra's tail snapped violently behind her hard enough to shatter nearby rubble while her posture crumpled momentarily before she caught herself. Sweat rolled down her face as unstable bursts of aura flickered wildly around her body, messy and uncontrolled in ways he had not seen from her earlier during combat. Bellra looked distracted now, one hand gripping the side of her head while her breathing turned rougher and increasingly uneven with every passing second. To Zorkon, she looked vulnerable, overwhelmed, and momentarily incapable of defending herself properly. Seeing the opportunity, he vanished instantly as fractured moments folded around him, reappearing directly before her with his fist already moving for what should have been a guaranteed strike.

Even should Bellra take the attack head on, his attack will have stopped completely as though he had struck an invisible wall. Confusion flickered visibly across his expression as he attempted another timeskip immediately afterward, striking from behind, then above, then diagonally from the side, only for every attack to fail in exactly the same way should Bellra not try to attack.​

Zorkon: …What the hell is going on?!​

Shortly after that, he then heard a loud roar from the distance which he hadn't heard before, and as he turned his head; in the dar distance his eyes locked onto a giant silhouette of a Gorilla. This only gave him more questions than answers, however a sense of danger washed over him and his instincts made him jump back in fear as a strange aura surrounded him.
​

Zorkon (Mind): What the fuck? Did I just get scared?... What's going on...?​

After a while of his body changing, Lotren let out a loud scream. The voice started off more human-like then distorted midway into that of a deep, monstrous Kaiju fused with his normal voice. His fingernails lengthened into sharpened claws while his teeth pushed outward into vicious fangs, blood dripping faintly from the corners of his mouth where gums split beneath the force of rapid change. Dark black fur erupted across his arms and shoulders next, spreading rapidly over his chest while his body convulsed beneath the moonlight as though instinct itself had taken complete control over the saiyan. His bones in the process which echoed through the entire area. His face pushed outward as his jaw elongated, his nose flattened, and his features changed into that of a large monkey with glowing red eyes.



The earth finally collapsed beneath him. Stone exploded outward as the crater shattered entirely beneath the sheer force of his power. When the smoke slowly cleared, standing amidst the destruction was Lotren’s fully transformed Oozaru form, towering monstrously over Zorkon. Thick black fur covered his massive body while blood from Zorkon’s earlier assault stained portions of his chest and arms, making his already terrifying appearance feel even more savage. His glowing red eyes burned beneath heavy brows while razor-sharp fangs lined a beast-like mouth twisted into a disturbing smile. Then the massive Oozaru slowly raised its head toward the sky before locking eyes directly onto Zorkon and unleashing a deafening roar so violent it split clouds apart and shook the very core of the Earth and created a powerful shockwave to blow Zorkon back about 100 feet until he collided against the towering frame of Lotren's younger brother in his ape form as well.​

Bellra barely even noticed Zorkon in front of her anymore, by now, her whole body was fighting itself. Her breathing had turned rough and uneven while unstable flashes of aura snapped around her in short violent bursts. One hand stayed pressed against the side of her head as another pulse from the artificial moon hit her square in the chest hard enough to make her stumble, then Zorkon attacked, or tried to.

His fist stopped inches from her body like it hit solid steel. He vanished and came again from another angle, then another, but every strike failed the exact same way. The pressure pouring off Bellra had gotten so unstable that the space around her distorted without her even meaning to.

Another crack rolled through her spine and Bellra doubled over, teeth grinding together while her tail lashed hard enough to shatter rubble nearby, then the roar came.

Her head snapped toward the sound just as Zerith’s massive Great Ape form rose through smoke and fire in the distance. The sound alone shook the battlefield beneath her knees, and then Lotren transformed too.

Bellra watched his body expand through the smoke while black fur spread across him in waves. Bones cracked loud enough to echo across the ruins as the crater beneath him gave out entirely under his growing weight, something inside her gave way the second she saw him fully transformed.



A violent pulse slammed through her chest harder than all the others combined and Bellra folded forward with a scream caught halfway between human and animal. Her fingers crushed straight through the rubble beneath her hands while her body started changing faster than before.

Bones shifted violently under her skin. Muscles swelled. Dark fur spread rapidly across her arms, shoulders, and back while her breathing broke apart into guttural sounds she couldn’t control anymore.

“No… no, no…” The words dissolved into a growl.

Her tail whipped uncontrollably behind her while the ground beneath her started collapsing from the pressure pouring out of her body. Aura burst around her in uneven explosions as her frame expanded larger and larger beneath the artificial moon, then she roared, the sound tore through the battlefield hard enough to shake the air itself.

When the smoke finally cleared, another Great Ape stood beneath the moonlight. Thick black fur covered Bellra’s massive frame while glowing crimson eyes stared out across the battlefield, But unlike Lotren, there was something off about her expression, she didn’t look fully gone, almost in a semi controlled state? atleast able to tell friend from foe

Smoke and fire continued to stir around the colossal ape as the last traces of the transformation settled in place. Then Zerith's nostrils flared, his crimson eyes darted wildly across the landscape, struggling to focus as instinct surged violently through his body. What little remained of his reason was buried beneath something far older, far more primal. Another growl rumbled from his throat. His gaze suddenly locked onto the towering Oozaru's nearby. The recognition wasn't logical, but he knew. Then his attention shifted again, towards the smaller figure before him. A new presence, a threatening one! The fur along his massive body bristled as a violent snarl pulled across his elongated muzzle. Saliva dripped from between his fangs while his tail lashed erratically behind him, tearing through burning wreckage left from the crash.

The ground cracked beneath his feet as his muscles tensed, his instincts flared and he made another deafening roar, exploding from his throat moments later, powerful enough to shake loose debris from the surrounding terrain as the giant ape beat his chest with both fists in a frenzy of aggression. The restraint he once had rapidly started disappearing.

His enormous arm swung back only to come crashing down rapidly, attempting to swat Zorkon aside with aggression and strength. His direct hit wasn't thrown with strategy or technique, it resembled the wild aggression of a cornered beast. Only raw instincts carried him. Even as the strike followed through, Zerith kept advancing, each thunderous step shaking the terrain beneath him as the beast sought to overwhelm Zorkon.

[Story]

​

Zorkon had been blown away by the power of the shockwave created by the Ape of Lotren, during his flight back he also saw the woman now as an ape as well. He was confused on what was going on until he remembered what his Lord mentioned to him about something called Saiyans, or rather, monkeys. This had to be what they were, and the two of them were clearly strong as they were giving him a hard time as it was before; dealing with them now was going to be harder since he knew they became stronger; but he didn't know how much stronger. Just as that thought crossed his mind, Zorkon slammed into the leg of a 3rd one. There had been too much going on, 1 of them alone could have been possible to deal with, 2 was going to be troublesome, but 3... 3 was a problem altogether. As such, when the 3rd ape (Zerith) swung his arm, A large arm made of Ki shot forth from Zorkon and locked fingers with the giant hands of the Oozaru to catch him as another one emerged and punched Zerith square in the face. Then once more in the gut followed by a larger Ki attack generated from the large arms to blast Zerith away. After a few moments, Zorkon let out a loud scream as his energy surged around his very being and a full Avatar of himself made of ki emerged around the same size as the other 3 Oozaru's but maybe slightly taller.


​

Zorkon: Alright, im tired of all this monkey shit! I'M ABOUT TO KILL ALL OF YOUU!!​

Lotren wasted no time after fully transforming and seeing Zorkon take on his giant avatar form. His black fur rippled beneath the violent winds of his own ki, glowing faintly with streaks of crimson light that coursed around his body after lifting his finger. Pieces of a ruined earth drifted around him, drawn inward by the monstrous gravitational pull of the energy gathering above his raised finger. The crimson glow in his eyes narrowed into something cold and merciless as his massive maw slowly curled into a savage grin, revealing rows of sharpened fangs glowing against the infernal light. Behind him, the stars themselves seemed to dim, swallowed beneath the overwhelming radiance forming at the tip of his clawed index finger. At first, it appeared as little more than a flicker; a concentrated spark of molten gold no larger than a pebble. Yet with every passing second, Lotren fed more ki into it, the sphere swelling violently outward while emitting deep, pulsating tremors through the area. The energy orb transformed into something terrifyingly beautiful: a giant yellow-orange sphere resembling a miniature sun, its surface writhing with streams of molten plasma and spiraling rings of unstable energy. Violent arcs of lightning lashed outward from its surface, vaporizing nearby rock structures and pillars instantly upon contact. The orb churned endlessly, layers of concentrated ki folding over one another until it resembled the birth of a dying star, glowing so brightly that the darkness of space bent around it. Its heat distorted reality itself, creating ripples in the void as if the universe struggled to withstand the pressure of Lotren’s overwhelming power.

Lotren tilted his head upward, his chest rising with a slow breath as the sheer force of the Supernova caused entire chunks of rock to tremble beneath him. His massive arm remained perfectly steady despite the impossible weight of the attack, holding the catastrophic sphere effortlessly above his finger as if it were no heavier than dust. The reflection of the burning orb danced across his dark fur, bathing him in a golden glow while embers of loose ki drifted around him like fireflies in the abyss. His tail lashed violently behind him, cutting through the air with enough force to shatter nearby debris into powder. Then, with a deep, thunderous growl that echoed across the stars, Lotren’s lips peeled back into a feral smirk.​

Lotren (Great Ape):You're going to kill us? I'd like to see you try! Now DISAPPEAR!​

With a single motion, he thrust his arm forward. The colossal Supernova erupted from his fingertip, surging across the planet in a storm of devastation. Trails of yellow-orange fire spiraled around the sphere as it moved, consuming everything in its path while leaving behind streams of burning energy that twisted like the tail of a comet. The surrounding atmosphere trembled violently under the attack’s pressure, fragments of nearby ruined buildings instantly igniting and disintegrating into ash before they could even touch it. From a distance, the Supernova looked less like an attack and more like an unstoppable disaster. Even before impact, the ground world below was already fracturing.

And if some desperate opponent dared to challenge it; launching a ki blast powerful enough to halt its momentum. The yellow-orange sphere would tremble violently, cracks of blinding energy spreading across its surface like fractures through glass before detonating into an explosion vast enough to swallow entire landscapes. A collapsing storm of molten light would erupt outward, devouring sky, land, and atmosphere in a single burst. But should no resistance come, Lotren’s attack would continue uninterrupted, descending upon the Zorkon and his avatar like the wrath of a god.​

Listen while you read

her crimson eyes locked onto the massive ki avatar forming around Zorkon, and for the first time since transforming, something inside her steadied, she knew the target, even with alot of her mind scrabbled, she knew

Smoke rolled off her massive frame while unstable bursts of crimson aura cracked around her fur. Her claws dug deeper into the ruined ground beneath her, splitting stone apart effortlessly as low growls rumbled constantly from deep in her chest.

Then Lotren started gathering energy.

She turned just as the growing Supernova lit the battlefield gold. The pressure pouring off the attack distorted the air around them while ruined debris slowly lifted from the ground under its pull. Even transformed, She understood immediately what it was, raw destruction, She would move to attack

The ground beneath her feet exploded apart as her colossal body lunged toward Zorkon’s avatar with terrifying speed from behind.(Lotran is on one side, shes on the other) One clawed hand dragged through the earth hard enough to carve trenches through the battlefield while debris blasted outward behind her.

Then she roared, the sound shook the battlefield just before she crashed into the avatar, both massive arms slamming downward hard enough to crater the terrain beneath the impact. The collision detonated outward in a violent shockwave while cracks spread through the ruined battlefield around them, but she didn’t stop there.



Massive clawed strikes came down one after another with savage force while her tail whipped violently behind her, smashing apart ruined structures and burning/burnt debris every time it moved. The attacks looked wild, brutal, almost animalistic.

But there was still intent behind them.

she wasn’t trying to overpower Zorkon directly. She was forcing him to stay planted. Forcing the avatar to brace itself. Forcing him to deal with her while Lotren’s Supernova closed in behind her and through all of it, Bellra’s glowing crimson eyes never left Zorkon once and ready to propel herself as far as she can the moment Lotran's attack got close enough

Golden light from Lotren's attack overshadowed the battlefield. Bellra retaliated, forcing Zorkon's avatar to defend itself. Each blow shook the construct of energy, leaving it no way of fighting back. The giant ki attempted to brace itself, but it was too late. Lotren's Supernova fell from above, hitting the avatar like it received judgement from the God's themselves. For a moment, everything paused between destruction and silence. Then the attack exploded. The explosion coated the battlefield, pillars of golden fire shot into the sky and shockwaves pulsated across the planet. Mountains shook, city ruins trembled and parts of the land disappeared under the force. Zorkon's avatar became unstable as it began to implode from the sheer pressure. It tried to resist but Bellra's attacks had already weakened it.

At the center of the collapse stood Zorkon himself. The overwhelming confidence that carried him through the battle had vanished as the Supernova consumed what remained of his defenses. The burning sphere that engulfed him entirely and moments later, his presence disappeared from the battlefield altogether. When the light finally receded and the dust began to settle, nothing of the invader remained outside of the traces of energy that faded into nothingness. A deafening roar tore across the landscape as Zerith's form proceeded to rampage. Whatever reason was left in him had been completely consumed by the transformation.



His crimson-red eyes burned with aggression and turned to the strongest source of power, Lotren. The Saiyan Prince realized the battle wasn't over yet. Zerith attacked with zero hesitation, surging forward with each thunderous step cracking the Earth beneath him. His enormous fist crashed onto his brother's frame, carrying enough force to level entire sections of the battlefield. The collision sent shockwaves rippling through the surrounding terrain. The two engaged in a brief exchange of blows with Zerith being on the receiving end of most of them. Despite this, Zerith still rose, reacting like a cornered beast, relying on his instincts and raw aggression. After realizing the severity of the situation Lotren stepped inside the attack as Zerith lunged once more, seizing Zerith's tail. Upon doing so, Zerith froze in confusion as Lotren forcefully ripped the tail from the younger Saiyan. Zerith's roar echoed across the battlefield as the energy sustaining his transformation collapsed. Crimson light exploded outward from his body as the immense Oozaru form began shrinking. Fur receded. Claws disappeared. Fangs shortened. Within moments, Zerith crashed heavily against the ruined ground in his normal state, unconscious but alive.

For the first time since the conflict began, silence arose in the battlefield. Lotren gradually returned to his own normal state, Bellra's transformation faded shortly after. The surviving Cerealians slowly emerged from their battered shelters, staring at the devastation left behind from the battle. Among them stood the King himself. Though visibly shaken from the destruction around him, he gave a nod in approval.

"This planet still stands because of your efforts."

The King spoke with certainty in his voice. Lotren remained characteristically reserved.

"The mission is complete. That's all that matters."

The King understood, giving another nod as arrangements were made quickly. While much of the Planet suffered damage, several Cerealian ships were still operational. One of them was offered to the Saiyans for their journey back. Lotren grabbed Zerith and the group departed. The vessel lifted into the air and vanished into the dark space. The journey back passed without incident. With Zorkon defeated and the threat neutralized, there was little left to discuss beyond the inevitable report awaiting them.​
