"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, I'm starting to see how this was made so quickly now.
As Gray's giant ape-fist busted through the wall of the tower and opened a hole for himself, Fubuki, Tatsumaki, and Caulfila, he took in the interior, which wasn't much of an interior, as Gray's thoughts about the tower looking like a giant wall were largely confirmed to be true.
It's less of a tower and more of a big-ass wall.
The interior looked just like the exterior - which was to say, it was dark and foggy. Far below, if Gray squinted, he could make out what largely looked like a wasteland. Where the outside of the tower had trees, swampy water, and vine-like terrain, the inside instead had a ground made of pure brown dirt, with dead trees littering the ground.
This is good. I was worried our Ozaru's might run out if the moon was blocked, but it's still visible.
Above Gray, he could still see the small sliver of moon in the sky, which was progressively becoming larger and more filled out. However, Gray wasn't sure that would also be the case as he looked down and took in the various large building-sized roots crawling through the ground.
The Tree of Might.
The massive tree sucked the energy straight from the planet it was planted in, funneling it to the fruit that grew within it. The wasteland below him was clearly a result of that energy being sucked out of Monas, though-
It seems to be contained within the tower. How the hell did they do that?
The massive roots were evidence that the Tree of Might was indeed within the tower, but the outside of the tower was somehow largely untouched by the tree's energy-draining properties.
In the movie, Earth was pretty much completely drained within just a day or two. Is it because there's more energy here to drain?
Monas was definitely more energy-rich than Earth was, as instead of just the Z-Fighters and a bunch of weak humans, the planet had numerous monsters roaming the surface. Even if the monsters were pretty weak, they were at least stronger than an average human.
"Let's head straight for the tree," Gray said bluntly, receiving a nod from his trio of female companions.
The strong power levels are further in, and then a bit up. They're probably literally on top of the Tree of Might.
It seemed that the Turles squad, or who Gray assumed was the Turles squad, were taking the guarding of the tree pretty seriously.
Gray's squad shot forward, blasting through the darkness as they quickly approached the group of strong power levels. No one stopped them in between, as there didn't seem to be even a single soul within the pitch-black night sky.
I sense a small group pretty far below us. Can they not sense Ki?
That wouldn't be that surprising, as Gray had met more people who couldn't sense Ki than he had who could. Gray ignored them, trusting his split-up squad to handle any of the other monsters in the area as he continued to fly toward Turles' squad.
"Be ready," Gray just called back to the trio of women behind him, "We're getting close!"
As Gray got closer to the group of energy signatures, the Tree of Might itself came into view. Gray peered through the fog and the darkness, noticing that the tree looked exactly how he remembered it.
It was a massive tree, with a thick trunk that was easily hundreds, if not thousands, of feet wide and tall. Far above it stretched out with hundreds of thick branches, which filled the air and cast a dark shadow over the already dark night with their leaves. From the branches stretched down various thick vines, which could've easily passed from the trunks of trees given how thick they were.
"I was expecting monsters, and even heroes, but another Saiyan?" A voice called down from above Gray's group, belonging to the largest of the energy signatures. Casually sitting on the huge and thick truck, leaning back against the tree casually, was what could only be described as evil-Goku.
The man's face was the spitting image of Goku, and he had messy spikey hair. His body was broad and lean, with thick muscles that showed through his Saiyan armor. His skin was very tan, looking dark as he was literally a hue-shifted Goku.
Yup, it was Turles. Observe.
[Selfish] Turles:
[Turles Crusher Corps Leader]
Age: 37
PL: 125.7 Billion

[Selfish Modifier] - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally selfish, doing whatever it takes to get what they want.
He's fuckin' strong! He definitely wasn't expected to be here, because even King Vegeta would get his ass kicked!
Gray was even more confused as to why the man was on Monas now - considering how strong he was, Gray highly doubted he was sent by Frieza.
King Vegeta is the strongest in our race. Celia mentioned once that there were a couple of Saiyans that surpassed him, but unless he's one of the few, he's working under someone else's orders.
When Celia had mentioned that line in passing, he had assumed she was referring to Vegeta - the Prince, not the King - and possibly Kakarot if Goku was still around in this world.
The strongest rule, so the Saiyan's stronger than King Vegeta would have to have a reason to not overthrow him.
In Prince Vegeta's case, that would be because it was his father, and he was the heir to the Saiyans anyway. Gray assumed that if Kakarot was one of the other ones, and if he was even the least bit like the Goku who lived on Earth, then he wouldn't care about being king.
There's also the possibility that he was sent by Frieza, and he only recently became that strong.
If Turles had been much weaker before and just powered up from eating a fruit from the Tree of Might, then it was still a possibility that he was working under Frieza.
Whatever. It doesn't matter - we'll have to take them down either way.
By 'them,' Gray was referring to both Turles and the group sitting around him. The first man was built like an absolute unit, as he was broad, muscular, and looked more like a tank than a man. He had a square face ugly face, long dark hair, and was wearing what looked like a variation of the Frieza Force armor, as it had large spikes sticking out from the shoulder guards.
[Stupid] Amond:
[Turles Crusher Corps Second-in-command]
Age: 35
PL: 17.8 Billion
HP: 7,985,550/7,985,550

[Stupid Modifier] - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally stupid, gaining INT more slowly.
I really wish all the armors weren't so similar.
Amond's modified Frieza Force armor, something which the rest of the men around Turles shared in common, didn't actually mean he was working for Frieza. Both Cooler and King Cold's forces wore similarly styled armor, meaning it could've actually been modified versions of either of those two's armor.
The next man was actually the only one in the group who wasn't wearing that similar style of armor, as he instead had on a thick, tight, shiny-silver set of metallic armor around him. He was also not very Saiyan-like, as he had red skin and a veiny, squid-like face.
[Quiet] Cacao:
[Turles Crusher Corps Elite]
Age: 41

[Quiet Modifier] - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally quiet, keeping to themselves.
High HP, decent Ki.
Gray was definitely seeing the difficulty of the mission now, as base-Caulifla would've been outmatched by both of the grunts, not to mention far outmatched by Turles. Even in her Ozaru form, she still wasn't even in the same power range as the powerful Saiyan.
The next man looked more similar to a typical Saiyan, despite the fact that he wasn't one. He had a broad and muscular physique, an ugly, crude face, and long, dark teal hair. He was wearing what looked like the typical Frieza Force armor, except the color was changed to be a mixture of dark brown and gray.
[Arrogant] Daiz:
[Turles Crusher Corps Elite]
Age: 25
PL: 7.2 Billion
HP: 3,552,050/3,552,050
TKI: 1,598,240/1,598,240

[Arrogant Modifier] - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally arrogant, believing they are better than others.
They're all heavy hitters. They must've just been here snacking on the fruit for a while.
The final two men looked exactly the same, as they were both short, ugly, purple-skinned aliens. They had wrinkly skin, a head that widened at the top to look like a ball-sack, and an overall round physique. They were both wearing the same armor, which looked like the Frieza Force armor but with the shoulder guards cut off and a loose flaring collar around their necks.
[Intelligent] Rasin:

Their looks weren't the only similarities, as even their power levels and overall stats were almost exactly the same.
King Vegeta really is a fuckin' dick. If I really was only around 7 billion power level, we'd be fucked.
If Gray hadn't had so many points to use, then this fight would've been unwinnable. He would've been more than 10x weaker than Turles, meaning even in his Ozaru form, he would've struggled to beat the man in his base form. That wasn't even mentioning his grunts, who could've murdered the majority of his squad effortlessly.
"What's a Saiyan doing here?" Gray called up casually, hoping Turles would just tell him exactly who had sent him to Monas, but the simple question didn't work.
"I could say the same!" Turles smirked down at him, "You've both even transformed already! I should probably do the same, right?!"
"This guy's a Saiyan?!" Caulifla called up, her ape's voice being a bit less deep and monstrous than Gray's, "A Saiyan teaming up with a bunch of monsters?! I'll kick your ass, pussy!"
"You can say that, but you're teaming up with a bunch of heroes," Turles smirked back, pushing himself to his feet as he glanced up, his eyes locking onto the sliver of moon between the thick branches overhead, "Let's see which of our transformations is stronger!"
"I doubt you need it for a bunch of weaklings like them," Rasin giggled, the noise sounding what Gray could only liken to a dying frog, "But, this is unusual!"
"Yes! After killing monsters for so long, a different opponent is nice," Lakasei agreed, the same annoying noise coming from him as well. "It's been a long time since the leader has gone all out! Let's see it!"
This will be tight, but I'll have to trust them.
"I'm going now," Gray muttered, nodding over at Tatsumaki and Caulifla. His body was protesting, demanding that he stay, watch Turles transform, and then fight him one-on-one like a man.
But I'd fuckin' die.
When the man transformed, he'd be sitting at a power level of over 1 trillion. It was far higher than Gray's current 270 billion, and he wasn't confident that a skill difference could make up the gap.
"I'll buy you ten seconds," Gray said bluntly, tensing his body as Turles started to twitch from seeing the moon, "I'll need at least thirty seconds after that, and no more than a minute. You'll need to hold him off until then."
"Don't doubt me, you-"
Gray didn't wait to hear Tatsumaki's response, as he blitzed forward. His body hated doing such a bitch move, but it was necessary here. While Turles was much stronger than Gray in base form, and even more powerful in his Ozaru form, that wasn't the situation right now. Gray had already transformed, and Turles hadn't.
As a result, neither the Saiyan nor any of his grunts could even react as Gray appeared above his transforming body with his attack-boosted fist raised. It slammed downward, smashing directly into Turles' face and sending him soaring into the foggy, dark abyss below.
-475,280 HP! (27,050,010/27,525,290)
I hate to say it, but we can't beat him like this. I need to stick to the plan.
Even as his heart pounded in his ears and adrenaline coursed through Gray's body, he didn't give in to his Saiyan instinct. In his head, there were only two plausible plans.
Take out the grunts and get as much damage in as I can before he transforms, then take him on as a team once he does.
Gray knew he didn't gap Turles enough in his Ozaru form to prevent the man from transforming entirely. If he abused the power gap right now to take out the others and deal some damage, then he, Tatsumaki, and Caulifla, along with some support from Fubuki, might be able to take down Ozaru-form Turles. The missing space-tryant made the situation winnable, but-
But it's still unlikely. 270 billion, 90 billion, and 45 billion versus 1.2 trillion.
Even if they all worked together, it was too risky. The second plan was much more appealing at the moment.
Gray disappeared just a split second after his fist slammed into Turles, disappearing and reappearing next to Fubuki. He ignored the woman's yelp as his monkey paw wrapped around her body, and then he shot forward toward the Tree of Might.
They just need to stall until I can get a fruit.
The second plan sounded better to Gray - he would trust Caulifla and Tatsumaki to not die for one minute as he stole a fruit from the tree, ate it, and came back with a power-boost strong enough to take down Turles.
"H-He's going to the tree! Don't let him-" Amond was cut off as a glowing green aura surrounded him, and he was chucked down into the dark night below - following Turles courteously of Tatsumaki.
Gray didn't look back, ignoring the sounds of battle as Caulifla and Tatsumaki took advantage of Turles' temporary absence to start taking down his grunts. He shot forward, aiming downward a bit as he blasted into a large open hole in the tree.
"W-Will they be okay?!" Fubuki shouted, but he ignored her.
He stepped into the large enclosed area within the tree's massive trunk, and even in his massive ape form, he felt like an ant within the massive tree dome. He glanced up as he took in all the various shining red fruits hanging above him. From just a glance, he could feel the insane, densely packed Ki within them.
The Fruit of the Tree of Might.
Gray wasted no time, leaping into the air with his free hand outstretched. He easily ripped one of the fruits from where it was attached to the tree, landing back on the wooden floor as he glanced down at it. He raised it up to his lips, a large grin forming on his face.
You're fucked, Turles.
