Vegetto kept his eyes narrowed, still clenching his fists together.

"We still don't have a way to stop her from following us! It'd be pointless to run away again!"

Gogeta huffed lightly, moving forward.

"I'll stall her."

The Potara fusion blinked, watching on as Gogeta raised both of his fists up to his hips.

"I have a way to keep her attention here and away from all of you. Get everyone on the ship now."

The fusion did not wait for a reply, his aura disappearing completely as he locked eyes with Vaylin, whose rage continued to boil over in the ominous dark purple glow emitting around her body.

Gogeta Jr. moved forward, stepping out.

"What about you? She'll kill you if you don't come with us!"

Gogeta broke out into a small smirk, shaking his head once.

"Don't worry about me. All those years, I kept a secret technique hidden from everyone in case Vegetto became erratic like these two. I can hold her long enough for you to escape, and even if I die, I've seen enough for one lifetime. Seen enough of what our actions do for others, and then I think of your mother..."

His head dipped slightly.

"I'd like to see her again."

Gogeta Jr.'s eyes widened in response, bolting forward.

"Dad...let me help! You can't face her alone!"

Gogeta chuckled in response, turning his head slightly.

"Your alliance needs you son, you're one of the only chances we have left to finish this. Now go!"

His eyes diverted back towards Vaylin, his smirk returning.

"Kaioken!!"

An explosion of red energy suddenly shot up from Gogeta's entire body, shaking the entire planet once again from its force. Vegetto's eyes widened at the shout, staring in awe at the red lightning.

No...that's impossible. We couldn't even use the first amplification with this form....

The fusion's thunderous roar continued to shake the planet, the red energy violently surging outward. The trees surrounding the ship snapped, blasting into the air as the Gravestone itself began to shake, moving back slightly. Vaylin glanced around frantically with wide eyes, recollecting herself before launching her right hand forward, firing off two medium sized purple energy blasts.

"Times Twenty!!"

The massive red aura soon exploded outward even further, coating the entire atmosphere in a dark red tint as red lightning shot out in every direction passed the others. The two purple blasts completed dissipated as the red aura blasted forward, washing over everyone with a strong pressure on their bodies.

"Kaioken Times Twenty!!"

Gogeta bolted forward, the ground kicking up in a ferocious storm as he instantly closed the gap to Vaylin, burying his right fist directly into her stomach. Vaylin gasped, keeling forward from the force of the blow.

Koth grimaced, turning on his heel as he pulled on Gogeta Jr's shoulder.

"Everyone!! Get on board the ship now!!"
 
Brachi and Xenest both moved into the ship, while the cloaked Martian Ship prepared itself to tag along as a form of invisible escort force, ready to tow the ship out of the danger zone if necessary.
 
Kire shook Jaz slightly, trying to get her to snap out of her trance. It was no use no matter how hard he tried. Holding his daughter close, he ran to the ship as fast as he could. He turned back to notice Gogeta's power up and tilted his head, fascinated at how he was able to control it. He didn't know what he fate would be but he only hope that his sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.

"Mess her up, Gogeta!" Kire cheered. He then turned to Gogeta Junior.

"C'mon kiddo, we gotta move!" Kire tried his best to reason with the boy. "If you stay here, you'll only hinder your dad. Get moving!"
 
Mioi had made for the ship holding Oriko in her arms, but the sudden energy bursts made her lose her footing, almost dropping the teen mid-run. 

Once she made it inside, she made a loud hissing noise through her mouth to urge everyone else in.

"Do not die on us, Gogeta! Farewell. May the eye of fates look well upon you."
 
Solaris dragged Kira off into the ship.

"HE'S GOING TO DIE!" She screamed. The Solarian half-breed nodded in reply.

"Wish he let me but no choice." Solaris said.
 
(This concludes Chapter 4 guys. Chapter 5's thread will be posted shortly, stay tuned!)

Gogeta Jr. kept his frown, ignoring Kire's words at the sight of the battle in front of them. After a few seconds, however, the Saiyan turned on his heel into a bolt towards the ship, the distraught clear in his expression.

Red lightning surged around the fusion's right arm, having already cocked it back into a devastating jab into Vaylin's cheek. The woman hissed back in response, lashing out with a flurry of blows of her own, only to find herself gripping her side and stumbling backward. Gogeta stood still, eyes narrowed with ominous red sparks of electricity floating around his tainted aura.

Vaylin cried out again, bewildered as she blasted backwards into the former treeline, still locked onto the sight of Gogeta standing perfectly still. Her head turned slightly, blinking in confusion at the cross armed Gogeta staring down at her.

"What's the matter? Can't fight what you can't see?"

Vaylin roared violently in response, blasting forward before two legs caught her chin in the fray, forcing her skyward

"Typical, you villains never do take true pride in your fighting skills. It takes more than eyesight and a strong arm to be a warrior."

Giving her no opportunity to recover, Gogeta erupted into the air after her, charging forward with an untraceable set of punches with enough force to send Vaylin into the cold depths of space. Vaylin's eyes had shut in her extensive pain, completely drifting along from the force of Gogeta's assault, who teleported in her path with viscous kick to send her tumbling back down towards the planet.

Vegetto raised two fingers to his forehead, his attention diverting back to the open plain as Gogeta suddenly reappeared, planting both feet firmly onto the ground. The fusion pulled his arms behind his back, a noticeable darkening of the atmosphere pulsing outwards as the red energy ball in his cupped hands grew.

"When I fire this blast, teleport the ship out of here!!"

Vaylin continued to freefall, entering Zakuul's atmosphere once again as fire built up around her body. The woman remained mostly unresponsive, despite maintaining her transformed state. Gogeta grimaced, the veins in his neck bulging in a deafening roar.

"Dragon's Kamehameha!!"

The air exploded out from around the fusion, his hands launching upwards into the sky as a monstrous red dragon made from pure energy shot forward towards the tumbling Vaylin. The dragon struck the woman head on, catching the woman in its teeth as it continued back into the depths of space.

Vegetto grunted, rapidly turning his attention towards the south and searching for a random energy signature to lock onto as the others found their way onto the ship.

"Hold on!"

Reaching out with his free hand, Vegetto dug his gloved fingers into the metal next to him, the Gravestone and the others disappearing into thin air as the remaining energy barreled through, vaporizing everything in its path. Gogeta panted heavily, the roar of the energy barely giving him the ability to hear his own thoughts.

They made it...my son will live on.

His head turned back skyward, having dropped his arms to his sides. His aura continued to surge violently, growing in size while he broke out into a small smirk.

This life has been good to me. Saving my timeline, meeting my twin fusion, working with him to better the lives of all, raising my own family, and saving everyone many times over.

Gogeta clenched his fists together tightly, a strong red energy glowing around his left forearm.

The Kaioken won't last much longer. I can already feel my heart beginning to fail...I'll finish this in one final strike!

The fusion then suddenly shot upwards into the sky in a red dash, the entire planet shifting back from the force of his launch.

=============

Arcann rose rapidly to his feet, his one eye wide at the sight from his throne room. Perfectly situated above the planet, the new Emperor watched on in silent shock with his guard of knights as the massive red dragon shot upwards from the planet's surface, having completely engulfed Vaylin. Citizens on the planet's surface gathered in the streets to look  on, news station reporters rapidly attempting to detail the scenario above their heads in radical gibberish.

Within the cold empty space, Vaylin pushed herself in a explosive dash to her left, bolting out of the red energy dragon that continued to soar up past her towards the Eternal Fleet situated above. She glanced over her shoulder, watching the dragon close in on the ships for a few seconds before turning her attention to the growing red star spiralling towards her. With his left fist forward, Gogeta's eyes remained half shut in his pained struggle to close the gap to Vaylin, who looked on with narrowed eyes.

He's charging off the wrong foot...and he knows I can see him. What is he-

Vaylin's eyes widened, watching Gogeta suddenly contract the bicep in his charging first, two fingers pulling towards him as if he were calling something towards him. Vaylin turned her head, watching in horror as the red dragon suddenly flipped backwards away from the line of ships, rampaging towards her. She turned her head towards Gogeta just in time to witness the fusion's right arm swing forward in a strong power shot, his fist and the dragon striking her at the same time as both were engulfed in a blinding light. The massive energy wave erupted in every direction, a small sun growing from the middle of the blast as the line of ships in the direct vicinity of the blast were immediately vaporized.

Arcann roared, throwing his arms forward as he created a massive barrier around the growing explosion. His arms twitched heavily, the blast still shaking the planet and his throne room heavily in its destructive capabilities, despite it being contained. As the energy slowly subsided in the Emperor's created barrier, Arcann collapsed onto the floor with his guard following suit from the tremors still shaking the entire universe in its wake.
