Punch 9: One Dragon Loud Punch
Here's the next chapter, enjoy! Thanks to JonahShwarts for the majority of help on this chapter, and omegacrow-nexus for the minor help.
Last Time on One Punch Linc...
Linc, with motivation from his siblings and friends, went to take the Hero Exam to get himself recognized as an official hero. After taking the exam and being classified as a C-Class hero, an old and forgotten rival of his civilian life appeared, Chandler McCain, A rich boy who turned himself into a Monster after being rejected for his Hero Exam. He kidnapped Linc and his fellow exam takers, sicking his army of monsters on them in different locations.
But these newly made heroes killed Chandler's monsters and George, an S-Class hero, was the one to take Chandler's life. However, time didn't move correctly as what felt like minutes were actually days. This was caused by a temporal distortion crystal. A crystal that can cause time and space to rip apart, making time flow in random ways, in this case, making the heroes disappear for days rather than minutes.
Instead of dealing with the crystal in a more appropriate way, Linc smashed it with his immense and immeasurable power. Causing a space-time distortion that replaced the Monster Cave with a landscape of trees and a sky-piercing tower.
Now, even though Linc, his fellow examinees, and friends are back home, a new dimension from time and space has shifted into their world. And a few residents of said dimension noticed their power, especially Linc's seemingly bottomless energy. But just who were these residents from the other dimensions? Let's find out. Now!
****
We pick up where we left off previously, with the two new warriors known as Kakarot and Vegeta flying up alongside the extremely tall pillar they were close to before. After a bit of fast-flying, they soon came into view of a floating half-spherical structure that contained a temple and garden.
Both warriors then landed on the ground of the temple, approaching a group of numerous fighters who were gearing up.
'Kakarot': Lincoln! Everyone! You won't believe what just happened!
The individual that was known as 'Lincoln' was the first to get his attention caught. The familiar sight of white hair was seen, but this was not the Lincoln originally native to this dimension. This Lincoln is native to the dimension that was pulled into this one.
He was much older than Linc, 21 years of age to be exact. He was almost the height of 'Kakarot' and had a slightly muscular physique with his shite hair down to his neck. He is wearing an orange gi shirt, a blue belt, white gloves like Vegeta's, black martial arts pants, and white boots like Vegeta's.
{If we can use the pic, I'll leave a mark point}
Saiyan Lincoln: If you're gonna tell us about us landing in another dimension, Goku, we already know. We saw it happen too.
"Goku '': No, it's about some crazy power at the bottom!
Vegeta: One of them looked like a smaller you with a seemingly endless energy source.
Goku: I think he'd be a great sparring partner for you!
Saiyan Lincoln: Are you sure? I could sense that bottomless energy from here! I don't think I'd be much of a match for them.
Goku: But this could just be what you need to achieve the power of Super Saiyan God.
Saiyan Lincoln: You think so?
Vegeta: A Saiyan only gets stronger fighting strong opponents and that other version is stronger than everyone here. Even me and Kakarot.
Saiyan Lincoln: Seriously?!
???: Heh. If he looked like Linc, then he can't be that strong.
Saiyan Lincoln: (deadpanned) Really Lynn? Was that necessary?
Lynn, the individual Saiyan Lincoln was referring to, was also an entirely different character from the one from the other dimension. She was a slightly tall brown-haired woman who had an athletic and heavily muscular physique. She wore black Saiyan armor with red shoulder armor, had her brown tail wrapped around her waist, a sleeveless black jumpsuit, white gloves, and boots.
Saiyan Lynn: And what's so wrong with a little teasing? We're heated rivals after all, aren't we? I'm just making sure your memories are completely back.
Saiyan Lincoln: Oh, thanks. But if Goku's right and this could be my chance to get to the next level, then it could be a chance I can take.
???: If you survive, singular brother unit.
Vegeta: Good, you're all ready. We can get a move on sooner.
Saiyan Lincoln: What do you mean, Lisa?
The one who was referred to as Lisa by Lincoln was a brown-haired girl wearing a green scouter and having a scar on her right closed eye. She has a slight muscular figure. She wore a black Saiyan armor with single green shoulder armor, her brown tail wrapped around her waist, a navy blue jumpsuit, black and white bracer gloves, and boots. This was the Dimensional Counterpart of Lisa, aka Mad Prodigy.
Saiyan Lisa: If this fighter Goku and Vegeta mentioned is as strong as they claim, you don't have much of a chance of defeating them or surviving at all. It's possible it could only take one strike.
???: One strike? Lisa, don't you think you're literally exaggerating?
The one who asked that question was a tall blonde haired woman with a slight muscular and curvaceous figure. She wore a light blue scouter, a white Saiyan armor with a single light blue shoulder armor, her golden blonde tail wrapped around her waist, a blue jumpsuit, white gloves, and boots like Vegeta's. This was the Dimensional Counterpart of Lori AKA Digital Tempest.
???: Sigh... that amount of power just doesn't seem possible.
That was said by a younger woman with long black hair with bangs covering her eyes and a slender and slightly muscular physique. She wore black Saiyan armor with gray shoulder straps, her black tail wrapped around her waist, a black jumpsuit, white gloves, and boots. This was the alternate dimensional counterpart of Lucy, AKA Nightingale.
Goku: We won't know for sure until we try and find this guy for ourselves.
Saiyan Lisa: I'll turn on my scouter to try and find a second DNA signature of the singular brother unit.
Saiyan Lori: Not a good idea, Lisa. Your scouter might explode, even with the modifications to sense higher power levels. If this version of Lincoln's power is immeasurable, then your scouter might blow up trying to calculate it.
Saiyan Lisa: I am well aware, I'll simply shut off the Power Scan on my scouter before activating the search.
Saiyan Lori: Right, you have a custom-made scouter.
Saiyan Lisa: Indeed I do. Must be prepared for an individual with a power level of unexplained heights at all times.
Saiyan Lori: I'm aware.
???: If that power level can jump, you say all high. Hahahaha! Get it?
That bad pun was said by a slightly tall, light brown-haired woman with said long hair in a downwards ponytail and buck teeth. She has a graceful and slightly muscular physique. She wore a white & yellow full Saiyan armor with her long brown tail wrapped around her waist, a black jumpsuit, white & yellow bracers, and boots. The other dimension version of Luan, Aka Mad Prankster.
Goku: Hehe! I get it!
Vegeta: Don't encourage her.
???: When it comes to Luan, there's no stopping her in the puns department dudes.
That was said by a tall woman with short brown hair styled in a pixie cut. She has a slightly muscular & curvaceous figure with freckles on her face & body. She wore paperclip earrings and a choker around her neck. She wore a black and purple basic Saiyan armor, her brown tail was wrapped around her waist, a sleeveless leotard style black jumpsuit, purple gloves, purple leggings, and white boots. This was the Saiyan counterpart of Luna.
???: I dunno guys, shouldn't we like, figure out how to get back to our own dimension?
This was said by a platinum blonde-haired woman who was up to Lori's height and had a mature curvaceous figure. She wore red earrings, a white Saiyan armor with seafoam green shoulder straps and thigh guards, her platinum blonde tail was wrapped around her waist, white wrist bracers, a blue sleeveless jumpsuit with the right leg exposed, and white boots.
???: Leni does have a point. What good is chasing someone who is impossible to beat all over the world only for him to defeat any of us instantly?
???: C'mon Lola, where's your Saiyan curiosity and fighting spirit?
'Lola': I can show it to you right now, Lana!
'Lana': You wanna go?!
Saiyan Lori: Lola, Lana not now!
Both: Sorry...
The young female Saiyans named Lola and Lana were identical twins, but had a few differences.
Lola was a long blonde-haired girl with a graceful figure and a gap between her front teeth. She wore a red scouter, pearl earrings, a white Saiyan armor with pink shoulder and thigh guards, her blonde tail wrapped around her waist, a light purple jumpsuit, and white gloves and boots.
Lana was a messy blonde-haired girl with her long hair in a downward ponytail. She had a slightly muscular physique and a gap between her front teeth. She wore a green scouter, a basic white and dark blue Saiyan armor with her blonde tail wrapped around her waist, a black jumpsuit, and white gloves and boots.
???: So then, what're we supposed to do? We can't just sit here up on the Lookout.
This was said by the last of the Saiyans present, the youngest out of them all. She was a short, light-blonde-haired girl with a petite and slightly muscular physique. She wore a white and light purple full Saiyan armor with her blonde tail wrapped around her waist, a blue jumpsuit, and white gloves and boots.
Saiyan Lincoln: That's a good question, Lily. We could explore this dimension, or we could play it safe.
Saiyan Lynn: Playing it safe? That's not what Saiyans do, Stink-coln.
The 11 Saiyans, Goku and Vegeta were then approached by Dende, guardian of the earth, and the Lookouts Caretaker, Mr. Popo. The latter had seven uniquely shaped orbs in his hands.
Dende: But that doesn't change the fact this new dimension is teeming with insanely strong power levels. I don't want us to stay in this dimension any longer than we have to. That's why we're going to summon Shenron to see if he can undo the displacement of our world into this one.
Goku: Huh? But why, Dende? We just found Lincoln probably his best chance to take it to the next level!
Dende: Because, Goku, a situation like this could lead to disaster. Especially if you go out looking for this other version of Lincoln. Even I can't accurately sense just how strong he is, and that's really concerning. Better for us to see if Shenron can separate us from this dimension, than you all risking your well-being to chase down one person.
Goku groaned as Mr. Popo readied the Dragon balls.
Dende: Alright, let us begin.
****
Meanwhile, back at Linc's apartment, Linc was making sandwiches with some of his sisters at his place. They were talking about things, namely Lori, Luna, Luan, Lucy, and Lisa.
OPL Luna: You did WHAT?!
Linc: I smashed a time crystal. So what? I've closed black holes with my bare hands before, why's this different?
OPL Lucy: As amazing as that is, you still can't just smash crystals that alter time and space. There's a process.
Linc: A process I had no time to learn. It was a bargain day at the supermarket.
Linc showed his sisters the sandwiches, and they took one each. OPL Luna took the whole tray and began eating.
OPL Lisa: Well, it is a long process. Takes about 12 hours.
OPL Lori: Did you see anything from what appeared after you smashed the crystal?
Linc: Other than a big tower and a forest, Not much... (looks outside) ... Why's the sky darker than Lucy's hair?
Everyone looks outside to see the sky darkened with clouds.
OPL Luna: What gives? It was clear and sunny just a minute ago!
OPL Lori: That can't be good... I'm going out.
Linc: I'm going too. Could be fun.
OPL Lori: How about "No"?
Linc: How about "How are you gonna stop me"?
OPL Luna: Uh oh... this might end in a fight. Should I stop them?
Dark Moon: (takes over Luna's voice) And what could you possibly do to stop them?
OPL Lisa: I'm interested in what would happen.
OPL Lori: Simple, like this.
OPL Lori then trapped Linc in a square sheet of glass that made Linc look 2-dimensional.
OPL Lori: Phantom Zone Prison. Think Superman's Phantom Zone, it's basically a time and space prison. While I'm sure you can escape, it will take you a while. Luna. Did you hear anything on top of that tower?
OPL Luna tilted her head up and heard voices coming from the Lookout, not that they knew that was its name.
OPL Luna: I heard "Oh Mighty Shenron, Rise!" just before the blackout happened. Whatever's going on, it could be that someone is summoning something.
OPL Lori: Right, i'm going out on patrol. As the Second Ranked S-Class Hero, I've gotta make sure all the cities are safe.
OPL Lori flew off as Linc began to break the prison he was in, cracking it with a lazy push.
Linc: Like I'm gonna be held back from the fun. Although I don't think throwing a normal punch would be good for my apartment. Lazy only it is.
Linc then used a Lazy punch to boost himself out of the apartment in the opposite direction Lori was headed.
OPL Luna: We should probably go out to patrol too.
OPL Luan: A hero's work is never done, am I right? Hahahahaha!
OPL Lisa: Hopefully, you two won't lose control.
****
Back at the Lookout. Out of the dragon balls, a massive green Chinese dragon rose from them. This was Shenron.
Shenron: I am the Eternal Dragon, Shenron. I shall grant you any three wishes within my power.
Dende: Eternal Dragon Shenron, my sole wish is to request of you to separate our dimension from the one we are currently misplaced in!
Shenron: (his eyes glow for a moment) ...... I cannot grant that wish.
Saiyan Lori: What? Dende, didn't you literally say that the Dragon balls can grant any wish?
Dende: Yes, but I also said that there are some wishes that the Dragonballs can't grant. And this wish we want is one of them.
Saiyan Lynn: You mean, what you want, I still say we go out and find this other Stink-coln and fight him!
Just then Saiyan Lisa's scouter beeps, putting all eyes on her.
Saiyan Lynn: You found him!?
Saiyan Lisa: No. I was scrolling the registered DNA patterns in my scouter, I was passing Lori's and it appears to have found hers. And she is approaching at an alarming rate.
Goku: Looks like summoning Shenron attracted her attention. And from what I'm sensing, she's strong.
Dende: I didn't think this through at all... I should've known using the Dragonballs in a dimension like this would be unfamiliar to the locals.
Vegeta: Let's see: The sky goes blacker than the darkest void. A kaiju-sized dragon appears wherever the balls are activated. Yes, I do believe this was a bad call.
Saiyan Lincoln: Now isn't the time for snarky remarks Vegeta!
Goku: (Serious) Dende, dismiss Shenron, we can't let anyone find out about the Dragonballs.
Dende: Oh Great Shenron! I dismiss you until we have need of your power!
Shenron: Since you have used none of your wishes, I shall simply return to the Dragonballs.
Shenron disappears, returning back to the Dragonballs as the sky brightens up. Mr. Popo then quickly retrieves them and goes to hide them inside the Lookout Temple, just as Digital Tempest arrives on the Lookout.
Saiyan Lana: Whoa, she really is a different version of Lori!
Saiyan Luna: Yeah, but she's a lot younger, and not as strongly built.
Saiyan Lori: Yeah, but it's still like literally looking in a mirror.
DIgital Tempest had the same thoughts.
Digital Tempest: (In thought) I can't believe it... am I really seeing another me? I also see Luna, Lucy, Lynn, Luan, and even Lincoln! Questions for later, they're here where I saw the dragon so they must know about it. (speaks to them) Alright, what the hell is going on up here? I know I saw a giant dragon!
Saiyan Lynn: (smirks) Yeah? And whos asking?
Digital Tempest: 2nd Ranked S-Class Hero, Digital Tempest. And all of you are considered dangerous until proven otherwise. So let me clear up some things about you. Scan.
Digital Tempest waved a hand over her eye, leaving a blue light over it. She looked at Goku first.
Digital Tempest: Kakarot, Earth Name; Son Goku. Race; Saiyan Birthplace; Planet Vegeta. Raised on Planet Earth, (muttering) at least a different Earth.
Goku: Okay... That's just creepy.
Digital Tempest looked at Vegeta next, who flinched under the sight of her blue eye.
Digital Tempest: Prince Vegeta, son of King Vegeta. Also of the Saiyan Race and was born on Planet Vegeta.
She then scanned over the Saiyan versions of herself and her siblings.
Digital Tempest: And just like I thought. All of you are alternate versions of me and my siblings, but the difference is you were born as Saiyans and raised on Planet Vegeta. That is until its destruction of an Alien Tyrant called Freiza. 11 years ago, your Lincoln crash-landed on your earth and lost his memory. He was raised on Earth ever since until the 10 of you landed here looking for him. Since then his memories have returned and you 10 have decided to stay.
Saiyan Luna: We don't need a crash course on our history so far, dude.
Digital Tempest: It's an effect of my Scan ability. I can read everything about you. (points to the Lookout Temple) Especially the person with 7 wish-granting artifacts in there!
Sayain Lincoln: Dangit, she knows!
Digital Tempest: I don't know what you're planning to do with those artifacts, but I can't let you use them again. Surrender the artifacts and come with me quietly.
Saiyan Lynn: Surrender? Saiyans don't know the meaning of the word and where the fun in doing things easy. I can tell just by sensing your energy. You're pretty strong, right?
Digital Tempest: Sorry. But...
[Time Stop Sound]
Digital Tempest vanishes from sight, Goku recalling the feeling he got from DT's sudden vanish.
Goku: Stay on guard! She can manipulate time!
Saiyan Lynn: You sure? Cause it looks like she's just ru-
Saiyan Lynn suddenly fell to one knee. Digital Tempest was behind her, holding a very specific point on her tail.
Saiyan Lynn: Agh.... dammit, agh....anywhere but the tail!
Vegeta: So that ability she used was not only to identify us but to expose a Sayain weakness.
Digital Tempest: Worse than that, I not only saw your tails as weak points, but the spot I'm touching is a nerve cluster, meaning this one spot is equal to grabbing 30 of these.
Saiyan Lynn: Fight... Me... Like... A... Warrior...! Aaaaaaaaaaugh....!
Digital Tempest: I don't really care for fighting drawn-out fights. Crono Lock!
Digital Tempest then launches several projectiles across the area. Goku, Vegeta, Lincoln, and Lori dodge, but the others are hit, before suddenly being encased in a transparent sphere with a ring floating around it with the roman numerals of time on them.
Vegeta: Looks like a variation of that time stop. Looks like its focuses on one person for a longer period of time.
Digital Tempest: I'll only request this one last time. Surrender these Dragon Balls to me, or this won't end with you walking away free of charge.
Goku: Sorry, but we're not giving up the Dragon Balls to you. We don't use them for evil, I can tell you that. But it looks like you're not convinced just by talking.
Digital Tempest: Not really.
Goku smiled then he grabbed Vegeta and put two fingers up to his forehead.
Vegeta: What are you-
Goku: Have fun you two!
Lincoln/Lori: Huh?
Goku then instant transmission away, catching Digital Tempest off Guard.
Digital Tempest: What?! Why did they-?
Saiyan Lincoln: HYAH!
Saiyan Lincoln wasted no time in attacking Digital Tempest, who was forced to dodge and let go of her grip on Saiyan Lynn as the buff female Saiyan recovered.
Saiyan Lynn: Ugh, that is a relief! Thanks, bro.... Although I could've gotten free on my own.
Saiyan lincoln: (Sarcastic smirk) yeah, sure you could've.
Digital Tempest pressed an option on her phone and suddenly closed the gap between her and the two rival Saiyans. Saiyan Lincoln dodged a sword slash, while Saiyan Lynn blocked a punch that did little damage.
Saiyan Lynn: Ha! You call that a- (her arms go limp) Huh?
Digital Tempest: Pressure Points. Not every punch I throw is gonna smash a mountain.
DT then stuck Saiyan Lynn several more times with seemingly little power. Twice in the shoulders, three times in the torso, once in each leg, and one time on the forehead. Saiyan Lynn then flopped onto the floor limp as a freshly cooked noodle.
Sayain Lynn: Dammit, she hit all over me! I can't move!
Digital Tempest: Be glad I didn't hit anything vital or else you'd be dead instantly. I have some questions which I think will need answers from you all.
Digital Tempest got ready as the Middle and Oldest Saiyans readied themselves for a fight.
Saiyan Lincoln: We have the number advantage, but why doesn't that make me feel better?
Sayain Lori: Because she's still literally strong, Lincoln. Don't let your guard down, she's really unpredictable.
Digital Tempest vanished once more and reappeared behind the two.
Digital Tempest: It's gonna take more than "Keeping your guard up" to beat me.
Before Digital Tempest could attack their nerves, Lincoln countered and sent her back with a kick.
Saiyan Lincoln: Is that better?
Digital Tempest: How did you-?
Saiyan Lincoln: You can control time all you want. But as soon as you re-appear, sensing your energy lets me counter you.
Digital Tempest: Alright then, how about... Godspeed.
Digital Tempest vanished once more but this time Saiyan Lincoln could still sense her, but he couldn't pinpoint a location. He then got slashed twice across the chest, punched several times with powerful punches, and was sent flying into one of his frozen siblings. All before DT reappeared.
Digital Tempest: How was that?
Saiyan Lori: RAH!!
Digital Tempest blocked a punch of Saiyan Lori, the two then began exchanging and blocking blow for blow before they pulled back.
Sayain Lori: let's just keep this between me, myself, and I!
Digital Tempest: Fine by me.
Lincoln and Lynn could only look on as both versions of Lori prepared to go all out.
What's gonna happen when two of the same person from different worlds collide?! What will happen when Linc joins the fray? Where did Goku and Vegeta go? Find out next time.
Bye for now.
