The moment he swung that accursed weapon at me, we knew that our attempts to hold it back were fruitless. Somehow, even in all our godly might, our strength had failed us under the power of the ugly, disgusting mortals.

We felt an unholy force eating away at our bones as the blade cleaved through us, not unlike how an hot knife melts and distorts butter as it passes through it effortlessly.

"Y-You pathetic mortals!" We yelled my disbelief, but those empty whites narrowed as the monster of a mortal shouted back at us how it's not about Gods and mortals. We wouldn't of expected anything brighter from an inferior, after all.

And yet, despite that, they had beat us anyway. Alone they were so weak. But together; they had power greater than a God. How was that possible?

As we slipped into the darkness, all we felt was absolute loathing. We were supposed to cleanse them. Why were they so resistant? We were helping them, and yet they killed us anyway. The more we thought about it, the angrier we grew. But it was too late. The void was already taking us.

I found myself lying against the rubble of the ugly earthling structures, barely conscious. With extreme effort, I opened my eyelids and saw our destroyers and the traitorous Gods standing around their time machine. I heard a sizzling and smelt burnt flesh, and when I looked over, I saw Zamasu.

His skin was unbelievably charred, and his immortal body seemed the polar opposite. Looking down at myself, I saw my own clothes were steaming, but at least I was alive.

We were defeated. I had no more energy, Zamasu was in no condition to help me. Once the frail beings noticed I was alive, I wouldn't stay that way for long. I cursed myself for not destroying them when I had the chance.

I only had one option left. It was a complete kamikaze plan; a gamble that could be our greatest decision, or our worst mistake, I had had it in the back of my mind from the beginning, but if there was a time to use it, it was now.

Holding a distorted hand up to my left ear, I felt the Potara still intact, and the same was true on Zamasu's right ear. I let out a low chuckle, and the fiends turned to look at me. Trunks' unusual aura flared up again, and he flew towards me at top speed, brandishing his sword.

However, he was far too slow. I put my index and middle finger to my forehead, and instantly I was at Zamasu's body. I ripped the Potara of his ear with my opposite hand, and again I disappeared and reappeared behind Goku. He whirled around, but before he could react, I slipped the Potara onto his left ear.

I laughed maniacally as the earrings began to glow. Invisible waves of force flew outward from them, and a radiant blue light began emanating from the green spheres, appearing to dim the world in comparison to their elegance.

Horror crossed Goku's face. He tugged at it, but by now nothing could stop the Potara's mystic effect. I called myself to deliver the final and destroying blow that would break his spirit.

"We'll become the ultimate being, and I will destroy all the mortals! All because of you. You let your guard down, and now I will win because of it. All because of you. Enjoy mulling that over in your remaining seconds."

He lifted a hand, and blasted me directly in the face, I didn't care. He now knew true anguish, like I had felt when he had effortlessly beat me. These last brief moments would be as torturous as it had been to me.

Our bodies flew into each other, and a moment after our chests slammed together, we began to melt into each other, melding into a single being. I felt myself beginning to disappear. Not my body, that was long gone, but the consciousness that I am speaking in now.

I assumed that no identical beings had ever used the Potara earrings, so I wondered how our physical being would turn out. It mattered little to none to me, all I hopped for where for my ideals to be preserved, untainted by that idiot's brain.

So strange. In an instant, two completely opposite beings came together to create us. Or is it me? Yes. I am not two entities. Not anymore. Centuries upon centuries of memories soared deep within my mind. Years and years of pure, undiluted hatred for mortals filled and buried and branded my mind.

But. In the short moments of Son Goku's life, I saw love, compassion, happiness, something so far and few within Zamasu's, or Black's life. Both of shaped who I am in this instantaneous time frame. And I was born.

The light around me dimmed, and I saw all of my companions looking at me with differing degrees of hatred, shock, fear, etc. Ignoring them for now, I began to observe and feel my new body.

Looking down at my body, I saw that my outfit was similar to Black's, with a single visible difference; the band around my waist, which had previously been red, had now turned into the dark blue of Goku's gi.

Caressing my face, it appeared since both Goku and Zamasu had the same physical body, that it had changed little to none when they fused. I gently unclipped the earrings; fusion didn't require them to sustain the new form.

Turning my attention back to the others, I smirked darkly. This was going to be fun. Raising my hands up from my sides, I began to give my monologue.

"Am I Zamasu? Goku? Both? Neither? Who knows, but now the two of them have created the ultimate being. I feel a strength that has far surpassed what any normal fusion could create.

"My hypothesis? That our identical bodies made our strength increase by an unprecedented amount compared to a being like Vegito. The fusion takes the best of both, the strength of Goku's body, and the mind of Zamasu. I am the ultimate being.

"And with this newfound strength… I will destroy all the mortals!" A torrent of energy exploded outward from me as I turned into a mere Super Saiyan. True hopelessness filled the faces of the fighters and the Kai's.

Swallowing his fear, Trunks stepped forward, brandishing his sword, and put on a mask of calm, though I saw the tip of his weapon shivering ever so slightly.

"I won't let you! Goku. I know your still in there somewhere. Please. Stop this." We both glared at one another, though I was laughing inside. This was going perfect.

"Oh he's gone. Maybe I'm not fully Zamasu anymore, but his legacy still lives on within me. But this is the end of the line. You have no more tricks. You're out of strength. There's no-one left to defy me anymore.

Fury overtook his face, and his golden-blue aura flared up as he swung his sword downward towards my head. With tears in his eyes he yelled, "I will never give up! You won't crush our will to live!"

He was a fraction of an inch away from me when I caught his blade between my fingers effortlessly. Trunks struggled to pull it away from my grasp, but I wouldn't let him get away that easily. I smirked darkly at him.

"Just kidding."

This time I smiled genuinely. Confusion etched itself onto his face and he hesitated as I let my golden hair fall back into its normal state. I laughed openly at his utter bewilderment, but soon I regained my composure, I began to explain.

"Oh come on. Remember how I said the Potara took the best of both people? You don't seriously think that Zamasu's morality would overcome Goku's, do you? It's clear that he was quite insane, to say the least."

I let go of his sword, and he stumbled backwards, still eyeing me darkly. "I have absolutely no intention to kill mortals without reason anymore." He sheathed his sword, but I could tell he still didn't believe me.

Vegeta stepped forward, glaring at me with absolute hatred. He shoved Trunks aside violently and scowled deeply at me. "I don't trust you, monster. You're nothing but a pale shadow of Kakarot." As he had spoke he stepped closer and closer until he was practically spitting in my face.

I simply chuckled quietly. His words could not bother me anymore. "Your right. I am neither Goku or Zamasu. I'm something more, greater than the both of them.

He tsked at me and turned away, walking off into the broken rubble of the once great city. While Vegeta had ridiculed me, Trunks had flown up onto a half collapsed building, simply staring blankly over the desolate landscape and into the sunrise.

Good. There was one more thing I had to do before we traveled back to Goku's time. Walking over to the Supreme Kai's, I looked them over bold gaze, which they returned with a hint of fear. For a moment we stood like that, but then I bowed politely, undoubtedly surprising them a little.

I didn't like it, but this was necessary. "Gowasu. I am sorry for the actions of your apprentice. My words of course don't mean much, but he is a part of me now, and I should take responsibility for his childish actions.

"Furthermore, we cannot part ways before I return these to you." I slipped of the Time Ring, and along with the Potara, I laid them in my hands and held them out for Gowasu to grab.

He looked at me for a brief second, his face set in an emotionless mask, before taking the powerful jewelry. With that, he slipped the items in a fold in his robe, but not before saying, "If Zamasu is really in there, a part of you, then maybe this can bring peace to him finally."

Turning to Shin, he nodded, and they both blinked out of existence, probably back to the present. I let out a sigh. Even with my little experience as being an actual person, I could tell that I hated admitting I was wrong. Of course, it wasn't really me, it was Zamasu, but he was a part of me now.

I saw Vegeta sulking back over to me, and I knew it was finally time to go back. As soon as he was close enough to talk without shouting, I asked him quietly, "Are you ready to go back to the past, Vegeta?"

He scoffed back, "Humph. Let's leave this dump, Kakarot. Or whatever you are." He was right, and I had been thinking about it all of this time. What is my name? Still Goku? Zamasu? A combination of the two? Or Black and Goku?

No, I definitely do not want to be called Blocu! I guess it will just have to wait for the time being. "What about Trunks? Will we take him back to our time?"

Vegeta's eyes narrowed at my words. "What are you talking about Kakarot?" It seemed so simple. There was nothing left here; why would he not want to live a relatively peaceful life back in our time. This planet was doomed to extinction, it had been the moment Zamasu made his first attack on this desolate world.

I explained this to Vegeta, but he looked unconvinced. "Do you really think that after years of defending the world, whether it be from the Androids, Majin Buu, or Black, he's just going to give up now? A true Saiyan would never do that!

"He is my son through and through, he would never do such a lowly thing!" He seemed to get angrier and angry as he spoke, until suddenly he punched a gloved hand into my gut. Or attempted to. I blocked him before he even got close.

"What has that fusion done to you, Kakarot! You would have never even considered these thoughts before!" I let go of his wrist and he pulled back, simply glowering at me.

"The fusion enlightened Son Goku. No longer is he the babbling idiot he once was; now he is a coherent thinker with words of honey to soothe the agitated beings who cannot accept his changes.

"The fusion tamed Zamasu. No longer is he the radical, angsty fool he once was; now his emotions are in check, and he can use his potential to its absolute limit, and surpass even that.

"Observe Vegeta. This fusion, which you view with extreme prejudice and enmity, has given me strength beyond comprehension. I wield the darkest, corrupted, most vile evil, and the absolute, flawless, most pure good, in this single being.

"And because of those to completely opposite powers, you can now feast your eyes upon its combined might! It is a form that is greater and stronger than even the Gods! Behold…"

I crouched down into a squat and began to let out a brutal yell. Rocks began to hover as I powered up, only for them to disintegrate moments later from the true power that was coming off of me.

The world darkened until the only I brightened the coagulated shadows, piercing it's depths with a pale purple that glowed celestially. Lightning of the same shade flew out from all across my body, carving deep groves in the ruined landscape.

I had never done this before, but deep down, I knew it was possible. Ever since my creation, I had been itching to try out this new power. I stood up straight and let out one final scream as I met the climax of my transformation.

The land returned to brightness as I finally finished my conversion into this new state. Looking down at my hands, I marveled at my own strength; this was beyond anything I could of imagined. I turned to see Vegeta gaping at me with absolute shock.

"Gaze upon me, Vegeta. Look at what Goku and Zamasu were able to accomplish in a single body. Pureness with corruption, mortal with God, good with evil. Those opposites were able to come together to create this.

"Magnificent, is it not? This color… it seems to be a mix of Blue and Rosé. If I were to give a name suitable for all of its splendor it would be…

"Super Saiyan Lilác!"

I don't care if that's not how Lilac is spelled, I made up my mind, it looks cooler this way, and I won't change it. Ignoring that, I hope you enjoyed. Stick around if you want to see more of my writings

I'm lazy. Don't expect updates to be frequent, you'll be lucky if I manage once a week. Also, PM (Private Message) me of any grammatical errors, and I'll be sure to fix them. Leave a Review if you want to say something and/or ask about anything else.

For the cover of this story, while I didn't make the fanart, I had to completely recolor it, and, well, I didn't do that well. If someone can do it better and is willing to help me, then please, go ahead! I'd love it.

And one more thing. This story will most likely catch up with the anime, and if that happens, I'll have to create my own ark for this story.

I currently have no ideas on what it'll be, but I'll try to think of something. If I can't, however, I may ask for some ideas. That is all.

AND NOW, Q & A!

HC:Interested to see how the Tournament of Power will take hold and people's reactions. Maybe Chi-Chi will like the new Goku better because he's smarter.

Me: Indeed. I'm sure it will be quite... interesting. And for Chi-Chi, who knows? He's definitely smarter, but much colder and less loving than before as well.

warriorofdark: Quite the uniqe idea you came up with here. A goku thats basically good and evil. With this goku (for now goku until you name this fusion) will he have more of a understanding of fully mastering ultra instinct instead of just the defending half that super gave goku.

Me: Why, thank you! Your pretty much right when you say that this new being is morally grey; you'd never expect Goku to kill meaninglessly, but I'm sure Zamasu will influence this fused person's actions just a tad differently. Additionally, are you positively sure that I haven't given a name because I can't think of one? I'm kidding, I have absolutely no clue. Bloku? Gack? Zoku? They're all dumb, I'm legitimately lost on what to call him, and there's the solution. I won't call him anything. He's the Nameless God. Finally, for Ultra Instinct. I'll be blunt; I think it's a pretty useless transformation. As revealed in Episode 116, Goku's hits do hardly anything. Also, Goku does not need yet another transformation. Let me list of everything he can do:

-Oozaru (Great Ape Form)

-King Kai Fist (Kaio-ken)

-Pseudo Super Saiyan (Movie Exclusive)

-Super Saiyan I

-Super Saiyan I Grade 2

-Super Saiyan I Grade 3

-Super Saiyan I Grade 4

-Super Saiyan II

-Super Saiyan III

-Super Saiyan IV

-Super Saiyan God

-Super Saiyan Blue

-Super Saiyan Blue & King Kai Fist

And now finally, Ultra Instinct. No, it ends with Super Saiyan Lilác. That's my decicion, and I'm not changing it (for the time being).

jplaya2023: So i assume potarra last forever in your story. Could someone gather the DBs and wish them to be unfused?

Me: They could be unfused! Forshadowing! As for the length of Potara, yeah, pretty much. Really, the whole "One Hour Fusion" thing was just a pathetic plot device; it simply creates no weight behind the decision, at least no more than the Fusion Dance. If Goku & Vegeta had known this in the Buu saga, I'm sure they would of done fused hesitation. However, for those who do enjoy the new length of the Potara, they still get away the permanent fusion being cannon. Through Goku was not a Supreme Kai, Zamasu/Goku Black was, which allows this to be cannon still (I guess).

On my Author page, I've set up a link to a bunch of people I want to thank; I would put it here, but this site doesn't let me.

These are people who have supported the story by either Following, Favoriting, or Reviewing, and those are the sort of things that invigorate me to continue writing, and I am so thankful for their support. Until next chapter!
