The Doctor VS Xeno Trunks is the first episode of Mr. Polarity's new (for real this time) Death Battle script series. It features The Doctor from the Doctor Who series and Trunks Briefs from the Dragon Ball series, specifically the alternate universe version from Heroes and Xenoverse, in a battle of time travelling alien (though half-human on their mother's sides) heroes.
Interlude[]
Wiz: The Doctor, the heroic Time Lord of many faces.
Boomstick: Trunks Briefs, the half-Saiyan time cop of Dragon Ball Xenoverse!
Wiz: Throughout all of fiction, time travel has been commonly used as a means of storytelling. Whether it be to correct one’s mistakes or meddle it for their own desire.
Boomstick: Wiz, I’m pretty sure that today’s combatants would probably side with the former. He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win… a Death Battle!
Doctor... Who?[]
Wiz: Once upon a November lived Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. They were just your average Londoners teaching average students in a average school.
Boomstick: Well, except for one.
Wiz: Young Susan was anything but average. It was almost as if she was... an alien.
Boomstick: And so the two teachers decided that the smartest idea was to follow her as she was walking home... it was the sixties, I guess.
Wiz: It was at this very foggy night they encountered her grandfather and his police box hanging around in a junkyard, and found the answer to their problem.
Boomstick: They were aliens! And sike! That "police box" was actually a three in one spaceship, time machine and caravan!
Wiz: And so the four were whisked away into the stars, marking the beginning of what will become over half a century of timey-whimey adventures that would leave generations of children hiding behind the couch!
Boomstick: From fighting off the deadly Daleks and Cybermen to shoving Hitler in a closet, this guy... chick... person has been everywhere!
Wiz: They had a name that he would never tell and an ever-changing jigsaw puzzle of a history. This mysterious being was only known as The Doctor.
Boomstick: Doctor... who?
Wiz: Gotcha!
Boomstick: Doctor Gotcha? (murmurs) Well, it's not like they had a PhD or anything...
Wiz: Actually, they did at one point.
Boomstick: GOD DAMMIT!
Wiz: Some say that they were the reincarnation of a co-founder of their society, others say they were a lone child experimented on for regeneration. But what we do know is that The Doctor is a Time Lord. Born on the planet Gallifrey several thousand years ago, they grew up studying at the Time Lord academy, earning degrees in cosmic science and higher dimensional physics.
Boomstick: These Time Lords may look human but they are anything but!
Wiz: That's right, Boomstick! Not only do they have two hearts, they can also experience time differently. They can see past, present and future all at once, resist temporal phenomena such as time stops or magic and can even tamper with fixed points in time.
Boomstick: Not only that! They have an array of wacky shit like casual levitation, transmigration, and being able to control their respiratory bypass system. They can even breach the boundaries of space and casually break the fourth wall just because!
Wiz: Time Lords are, for a lack of a better term, living deux ex machinas. In fact, Time Lords don’t seem to actually exist as just their three-dimensional bodies. It is claimed that Time Lords’ physical forms are mere fragments of their true “multi-dimensional forms”, with their true bodies existing in meta-space. Such a body existing in meta-space could subsequently influence probability and instances happening in the three-dimensional universe to their physical body’s convenience, seemingly explaining how they can time and time again overcome any and all odds stacked against their favour.
Boomstick: Sounds fun... for about a day or two.
Wiz: You see, the Time Lords have a rule about not messing around with timelines. So they just hang around their planet watching over and dealing with their own politics.
Boomstick: Not the Doc though! They got bored with Gallifrey so they stole a TARDIS and went on wacky space adventures! Don't blame 'em though. Why take part in space bureaucracy when you can become Mr. Peabody on steroids? But now you're probably wondering, who are all these people and why do they share the same name? Well Time Lords have an... interesting way of cheating death.
Wiz: When struck with a fatal blow or if the body simply grows old, The Doctor undergoes the process of regeneration, giving them a new appearance and slight tweaks to the personality. Post regeneration, The Doctor can temporarily knock down a steel door and regrow lost limbs.
Boomstick: Or better yet, how about weaponizing your own regeneration energy! Said energy is shown to be powerful enough to destroy entire battleships!
Wiz: But there is a major weakness. If a Time Lord dies during the regeneration, the process ends permanently.
Boomstick: So far there have been 15 Doctors... or 16... 17? Ah, screw this! There have been many, many Doctors over the years and they've all had their differences. Some are action heroes, some are mysterious, he was a she at one point and sometimes... I don't even know what they were going with!
Wiz: But despite the changes, the experience stays on to the next incarnation, and the next, and so on. Keeping the same love of life, passion for exploration and (sighs) Britishness...
Boomstick: The Doc has had many companions throughout their long, and I mean long ass life, but non have stayed with them for as long as... well, the box.
Boomstick: Shabby old police box on the outside, physics-defying time capsule on the inside! This is the TARDIS!
Wiz: The Time And Relative Dimension In Space is a sentient ship that can take it's user anywhere in time and space. It being "bigger on the inside" is due to the fact that the interior is dimensionally transcendental.
Boomstick: Dimensionally transce-what, now?
Wiz: In basic terms, the TARDIS is its own pocket dimension with infinite space.
Boomstick: Sooo, like Kirby's stomach?
Wiz: Sort of. The TARDIS is strong enough to tow a planet using a tractor beam, durable enough to tank lightning from Zeus, yes, the God Zeus! And even...
Boomstick: Take on antimatter formed as a tornado! How does this thing work?
Wiz: You see, Boomstick, the TARDIS can be powered via many types of engines such as a black hole, temporal radiation, stars, or even life force, like when The Doctor gave ten years of their life to it.
Boomstick: The TARDIS is so powerful that its own destruction threatens all of reality! As in, the TARDIS’ explosion will cause every sun to go supernova at every moment in history, and the whole universe will never have existed! Holy shit this box is unstoppable!
Wiz: Sadly not, Boomstick, as beings like the Quantum Archangel, a being of nigh-infinite power born from the fusion of Anjeliqua Whitefriar with the energies of the Lux Aeterna, can overpower it even with shields.
Boomstick: Always has to be a catch!
Wiz: The TARDIS can also adjust itself to an infinite degree, essentially changing the route at every turn.
Boomstick: So, if the TARDIS doesn't like you, you may get lost inside it... forever. Don't piss off the box.
Wiz: Or the many alien threats that The Doctor has to deal with on a daily basis. Some of the deadliest beings in the universe: Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Yeti, Autons...
Boomstick: And the Zarbi. Giant alien insects at war with the Bee-like Menoptra. D-don't ask, they were experimenting with stories, ok?
Wiz: But The Doctor always comes out on top with a sharp mind and their knack for gadgetry and technology. This is further emphasised with their most famous tool, the Sonic Screwdriver!
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick as the latter is playing around with the Sonic Screwdriver.
Boomstick: (singing the Sonic SatAM theme) Sonic! it's a household tool! Sonic! It can... open doors, I guess?
Wiz: Oh much more than that! This Sci-Fi swiss army plot device can basically do anything by utilising soundwaves to manipulate nearby objects. It can hack into any, and I mean any form of technology, set up detonations, manipulate energy, create shields, disrupt molecules, the likes. Making it the perfect tool for a pacifist.
Boomstick: Though if you're made of wood, or turkey, you're safe. And look how cool you look holding it! Yaa!
As Boomstick starts waving around the Screwdriver, things start going haywire and falling off around the two hosts, causing Wiz to panic.
Wiz: Boomstick! Wait, no! Stop!
Boomstick: I don't even know how this thing works!
The two hosts continue to panic as the lab rapidly falls apart on them until:
We cut back to the analysis.
Wiz: Uhhhh... A-anyway, The Doctor isn't one to go out all guns blazing. There's psychic paper, a stasis prison cell, an invisibility watch and a personal reality warping device just to name a few.
Boomstick: Don't forget about this freakin' sweet roadster they got while on Earth!
Wiz: Bessie was just you average fancy car but The Doctor has since modified it with several features such as a force field that pins anyone making contact, or a hyper speed-enabling turbo mechanism.
Boomstick: Or how about a stabiliser that lets it resist a tornado with minimal damage! But despite all of this, The Doc does occasionally use a weapon or two when needed. Like this pile of Hobby Lobby pipes.
Wiz: The Dematerialisation Gun is an ancient and powerful Gallifreyan weapon that, when it's trigger is pulled, can erase it's targets from time itself.
Boomstick: Yeah, as in, it causes you to never exist in the first place!
Wiz: Even the Time Lord were afraid of it's capabilities! Thus only using it as a final resort.
Boomstick: And we haven't even gotten to the other Time Lord reality-altering box. But in the wise words of the good Doctor "We'll explain later".
Wiz: "Wise" is a bit of an understatement when it comes to The Doctor. In fact, they're so smart that his brain once powered a 1000 year old super-computer.
Boomstick: Yeah, The Doc may not rush to violence but they were dedicated enough to continuously break down this 20ft thick Azbantium wall said to be 400 times harder than the most intricate diamond! Not to mention the fact that they're fast enough to dodge this professionally trained super soldier.
Wiz: Speaking of speed, The Doctor had to put that and their intelligence to the test when they performed several thousand calculations in their head while half a dozen disintegration rays were coming after them. All this was done in a total of 4 nanoseconds! They also managed to get themselves into this solar flare. The most energetic of the observed solar flares is called the Carrington event which occurred on September 1, 1859. It had an estimated energy around 1032 ergs. This is equal to 10^25 Joules or 2.39 Petatons of TNT.
Boomstick: The Doctor has even encountered Death's Head, the Marvel character comparable to The Thing who one-shot a living black hole with one punch.
Wiz: Not only that, but they became a transcendent time god after taking a dip in the time vortex. While in this state, they were powerful enough to instantly disintegrate the Cybermen from existence.
Boomstick: But then they gave up these awesome god powers in order to save their companion. Nice of you to save her, but why give these powers up?
Wiz: That's the thing about The Doctor, it's the little things they appreciate. They're not the kind to relish in god-like power because that would probably bore them. They would rather go out inspiring the works of H. G. Wells or light up the Olympic flame.
Boomstick: Fuck that! This is Death Battle!
Wiz: (sighs) The Doctor has outwitted various cosmic entities beyond their league such as the Celestial Toymaker, the Great Intelligence, various members of their own kind and even the original Satan.
Boomstick: Who isn't even the deadliest being in the universe, that would go to the Daleks. Ok yes, they do look like trash cans trundling around an often flimsy set, but they are anything but a joke as they can and will exterminate anything isn't like them, even all of space and time! Like when they battled the Time Lords to extinction!
Wiz: This was a war that showed a darker side to The Doctor, one always there but hidden beneath their universal joy. Thrust in a conflict with seemingly no end, the name of The Doctor was abandoned and in it's place was a soldier. A warrior. A killer.
Boomstick: But there was an end as in a single moment, The Warrior pressed the big, red button and finished it all, including Gallifrey with all of the Time Lords and Daleks! You can say that this caused a little shift in The Doctor's life.
Wiz: As dodgy as the Time Lords can get, The Doctor still valued life and cared for it above anything else so killing their own people was the worst possible outcome. Isolation threatened The Doctor to become the very thing they despised, the vengeful god who controls the laws of time. The Time Lord Victorious. And in an alternate universe, he became just that.
Boomstick: And if you push them over the edge, you'll never know how far they'll go! You may not be dead, but you would fuckin' wish you were! This was the fury of a Time Lord. A lone Time Lord.
Wiz: But fortunately, Gallifrey wasn't destroyed! As The Doctor, all of them, rewrote the outcome of the Time War by preserving Gallifrey in a pocket dimension. Time just didn't catch up to them until this moment.
Boomstick: Wibbly-wobbly-timey-whimey... bullshit. Point is if you can turn your biggest L into a dub, that's how you know you're pretty fantastic!
Wiz: This is no ordinary being, they are both a saviour and a warrior! A hero and a criminal! They have lived through wars and genocides but still keep their optimistic look on the universe! Without risk, without reward, you'll never know when they'll show up to save the day.
Boomstick: They are all the goddamn Doctor!
Slade: Hang on a minute. Who put you in charge and who the hell are you anyway?
The Doctor: in that case, allons-y! (watch from 1:11 to 1:44)
Trunks: Dragon Ball's badass made even MORE badass![]
Wiz: Trunks Briefs was born in a tragic time. Son Goku, the Z-Fighters and most of Earth’s population were dead, murdered by a deadly android duo. The only warriors left were the young child of Vegeta and Gohan, Goku’s son.
Boomstick: …And you probably all know the story by now. Mama Bulma built a time machine, Trunks did some badass shit, defeated those pesky androids and returned home…
Wiz: …And that's where the canon story ends!
Boomstick: I was getting to that! Anyway, he returned home only to suddenly get arrested by this midget fairy chick!
Wiz: This “midget fairy chick” as you put it Boomstick, is Chronoa, the supreme kai of time who watches over the Dragon Ball universe. She very well could’ve arrested Trunks due to his illegal use of unsanctioned time travel, but sensing his good intentions, Trunks was instead recruited into the Time Patrol, an organization founded to defend as many timelines as possible from time-altering threats such as the Dark Empire.
Boomstick: Welcome to Dragon Ball Heroes! An alternate universe... no, Xenoverse where everything in the Dragon Ball universe has its own canon timeline. Basically the ultimate DB fanfiction Kaio-ken x100 but official! It ROCKS!
Wiz: Despite this not being on his to-do list, Trunks was perfect for the role! Even without the soft compositing, it is heavily implied that this version of Trunks has lived all the way through some variation of the Goku Black Saga, meaning that he still possesses everything that the original Trunks has.
Boomstick: Including all the benefits of being half alien monkey man.
Wiz: As Planet Vegeta has, well, had a gravity around 100x greater then on Earth, it's natural that Trunks' strength, stamina, speed, and overall potential far surpasses that of the average human.
Boomstick: Yeah, these Saiyan dudes can shake a whole freakin' planet by just throwing hands! Or just point-and-click 'em out of existence! Trunkie can even go out for long periods without oxygen.
Wiz: A notable trait of Saiyan lineage however is his mid-fight progression. As in, throughout battle, Trunks will gradually rise in strength due to his Saiyan blood. In addition to this, if he were to ever be severely wounded and then recover, Trunks will receive a large stat increase in the form of a Zenkai boost.
Boomstick: Also like other Saiyans, Trunks has the ability to harness his Ki. I'm not gonna bore you with information like Wizard over here, but Ki is basically the force for monkey people.
Wiz: Ki is the life essence of the Dragon Ball universe, and by using special martial arts, it can be weaponised into Ki blasts. An example of this is the famous Kamehameha.
Boomstick: Trunks has access to plenty of devastating Ki blasts from other fighters like big-ass laser, big-ass laser with two hands, more two handed big-ass lasers, explosions and so on.
Wiz: But not all of them are taken from his peers, such as the Burning Attack.
Boomstick: My man looks like he's having a goddamn seizure!
Wiz: This move comes in two variations. The Spread Shot version is the same but it fires four beams instead of just the one and the Guided version locks on to the enemy before exploding, causing greater damage. Trunks can also sense the Ki of others, allowing him to constantly track them mid-battle. Despite this, it's important to know that Ki on it's own is not limitless. Many characters, Trunks included, can run out of Ki due to it being tied to their stamina.
Boomstick: Another thing that sets him apart from other Saiyans is his super awesome magic sword known as... his sword!
Wiz: Also known as the Brave Sword, this blade was gifted to Trunks by the legendary hero, Tapion.
Boomstick: Or... not. Weird, isn't it?
Wiz: Origins aside, this sword is a useful primary weapon as it can slice right through deadly foes and cut them up into several tiny pieces.
Boomstick: And if that's not enough, these Time Patrol folks have given Trunks plenty of neat gizmos to help him out such as a Time Travel armband, which he and his fellow time cops can use to go time warping without causing any alterations or distortions to the timeline. Or how about these time crystals that lets him communicate directly to Chronoa while on missions.
Wiz: Trunks in this timeline also has access to God Ki, a variation of Ki that normally applies only to, well... gods. This allows him to heal minor wounds, sense other godly beings who cannot be sensed by normal people, and even tear open holes in space time, creating pocket dimensions.
Boomstick: Trunks has sparred with many god-like beings in the Dragon Ball multiverse, but not without the help of various more powerful forms.
Boomstick: Let's start with the original. Everybody knows what a Super Saiyan is, even grandma! Gold hair, badass aura and all.
Wiz: The classic Super Saiyan form increases all of Trunks' stats 50 times over, greatly increasing his combat skills.
Boomstick: That's not all as he can go further beyond with a two! And a three! and even a spice of rage!!!
Wiz: Obtained through the sheer rage of the mind thanks to Goku Black and Zamasu, Super Saiyan Rage, you guessed it, massively boosts Trunks’ stats compared to his previous ones.
Boomstick: But when Black and Zamasu merged into this, Trunkie then decided "Hey, I'm gonna become a motherfuckin' Spirit Bomb!"
Wiz: Not exactly Boomstick, he absorbed the positive energy like a spirit bomb but it was absorbed into him, creating an upgraded form known as the Super Saiyan Spirit Bomb.
Boomstick: He even upgraded his sword to match Zamasu, basically giving him half of the Mecha Frieza treatment.
Wiz: While the increase in power doesn't have a confirmed number, it makes him capable of keeping up with Super Saiyan Blue level characters.
Boomstick: But guess what? This isn't even his final form! Because in this universe, Trunkie has a big new fancy form. The all-powerful crimson visage of the Super Saiyan God!
Wiz: Unlocked after five pure-hearted Saiyans lent Trunks their power, this form has Trunks powered by ridiculously potent God Ki. But like the Super Saiyan Rage, the specific increase in power isn't set in stone but we do know that the boost it gives is massively above the rest.
Boomstick: Perfect for fighting off actual demons! Such as the time these fellas revived Mechikabura, the ruler of the Demon Realm, causing all sorts of distortions and shit all over the Xenoverse.
Wiz: Ok, so, all of the major timelines are contained in the Scrolls of Eternity. Anything that goes out of hand results in a new scroll poofing into existence. The problem is that there's only so many scrolls. Reaching the limit can cause, I dunno, cosmic Armageddon! The previously mentioned time travel armbands are there so that Trunks and his fellow patrollers cannot let this happen.
Boomstick: But still, there are times were this shit still happens. Like when Sealas, the first Time Patroller, tried to rewrite DB Heroes! The world and the game! Did I mention the fact that this universe is an arcade game of its own... universe? My head hurts!
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick in the Death Battle lab.
Wiz: Well, kinda. Trunks is an avid fan of the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game, it essentially serves as another method of time travel, allowing future warriors to visit iconic moments from the past, complete with an assortment of collectible cards that can freely manipulate the fabric of space-time in order to summon other characters from the franchise’s history to assist him in battle. Trunks also funded the Hero Switch, which means he can use his cards on the go.
Boomstick: Trunks himself is a usable character in many of these cards. As these cards seem to be based directly on the characters they represent, it’s reasonable to say that anything these cards have been shown doing, the actual Trunks could do as well. Which reminds me… check this out, Wiz!
Boomstick pulls out his own custom Hero Switch.
Wiz: Boomstick… H- How did you make this?!!?
Boomstick: Just out of some scraps I found in your lab. Behold! My true power!
He then throws out a card he also made and uses his Hero Switch to summon a giant, sentient Beer can.
Beerman: Never fear because the incredibly drunk out of his f(belch)ing mind Beerman is h(burp) here!
Beerman crashes into the floor. Wiz does not know how to feel so he just stares at the floor and then at Boomstick.
Wiz: Oh. My. God... But sadly it was still not enough to defeat Mechikabura.
Boomstick: Yeah, no shit! This guy is able to absorb a black hole that was 10 million years old and was sucking in space-time itself. Even Super Saiyan 4 Vegito had trouble fighting him! But then, when all seemed lost, Trunks pulled out the ultimate trump card, the deus ex machina to end all deus ex machinas straight outta Kingdom Hearts!
Wiz: This is the Key Sword, an ancient weapon created to combat dark beings. Made up of Time Power, it is by far the most powerful weapon Trunks has access to as it is able to cut through Demon Gods like butter.
Boomstick: And that's just in its sealed state! This thing can be awoken giving it an even more badass look!
Wiz: The Key Sword can drain energy, completely shut down the opponents power and trap them in the...
Boomstick: ETERNAL TIME LABYRINTH!!!!! God, I love saying that!
Wiz: The Eternal Time Labyrinth traps its targets in the Crack of Time, a bubble of reality outside all timelines with windows into others. The key sword is powerful enough to destroy Mechikabura with a single strike!
Boomstick: Fun fact: this puts Trunkie above the powers of out canon Goku! You know, the one that could destroy the universe up to 13 times over when he first channelled Super Saiyan God!
Wiz: The same Son Goku who's fast enough to from Grand Kai's planet to Hell in less than a minute. Looking at the canon visual model, this would require speeds of about 29 quintillion times faster than light.
Boomstick: And that was before Whiskey training!
Wiz: But Trunks isn't usually alone as many of his Time Patrol teammates are just as impressive. One such example is... well, you. Yes, you. In the Xenoverse games, you battle Demigra and Chamel. The former was in control of all time and space and the latter threatened the whole multiverse.
Boomstick: So, congrats! You can probably beat Goku! Maybe you can even throw that IRL kamehameha you've always wanted to throw.
Wiz: So, if you're planning on messing with time, don't count on succeeding....
Boomstick: Because Trunks and his team of time cops will always be there to protect the Dragon Ball timelines!... Ok, I know this is nothing to do with Heroes but there's this one moment in GT where Trunks gets into a car crash. Like, what the fuck?
Prelude[]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Boomstick: It's time for a wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey Death Battle!!!!
Death Battle[]
Within the skies of the gleaming metropolis that is West City, a blue, mid-20th century police box can be seen flying through its buildings. But it wasn’t your ordinary police box from that time. It was a type-40 TARDIS and inside it was the ancient Time Lord known only as The Doctor, clicking on the various complicated controls of the central six-sided console inside the box. He then looked into the scanner to check on the problem.
The Doctor: (sighs) I really cannot catch a break...
Outside, the TARDIS was trying to avoid a barrage of Ki blasts coming from an attacker from behind. That attacker was none other than Trunks Briefs, the future warrior, slashing any obstacle with his signature Brave sword. The Doctor then peeked his head outside to talk to the time cop.
The Doctor: Hello there. What have I done this time?
Trunks: Stay back, Time Lord! You're under arrest for unsanctioned time travel!
The Doctor: Oh fantastic… Well, t’was nice chatting to you but I best be off. Cheerio!
And with that, the Time Lord went back inside whilst avoiding another set of Ki blasts. He pressed on a few more buttons until he pulled the lever, and then the long rotors began to push up and down. Outside, Trunks was trying to catch up with the ship when suddenly, it began to dematerialise. The son of Vegeta thought that this was his chance, so he rushed into the blue box, but it was too late as the TARDIS completely disappeared before his very eyes! Trunks then looked at his time travel armband and began pressing a few buttons on it.
Trunks: (to himself) The Supreme Kai of Time definitely mentioned a disappearing blue box. So this is how he wants to do it, huh?
After pressing a few buttons, a yellow flash appeared from behind him and consumed him. The chase is on!
We cut to a dead and empty spaceship with no noise apart from the occasional sparkling of hanging wires, at least until the familiar groaning sounds started fading in, getting louder and louder until the TARDIS finally materializes near one of the doors. The Doctor then steps out to check around his current location. His exploration was mainly walking around various black and seemingly endless corridors using his trusty Sonic Screwdriver to detect any sign of life.
The Doctor: (to himself) Mmmm, curiouser and curiouser…
But it didn't take long for the Time Lord to notice something going on as a flash of yellow light suddenly appeared before The Doctor's eyes! Then out came Trunks, who instantly flew towards his opponent and landed a punch that launched The Doctor to a nearby wall. The Time Lord then stood up from the damage and prepared himself.
The Doctor: Alright, fine. But I must warn you that this duel isn’t going to be an easy one, for I am The Doctor, and this… (pulls out spoon) …is my spoon!
Trunks: (as he pulls out his sword) Heh, bold move there.
And with that, both combatants traded many blows with their mighty weapons. The half-Saiyan was quick but the Time Lord made sure to stay on the defensive nonetheless fending off Trunks’ attacks. But Trunks then zoomed behind The Doctor and kicked the back of his head (Sonic 06 Shadow style) before building up Ki in his hands.
Trunks: Masenko-Ha!
He then shot an energy blast at The Doctor, knocking him down again… but not for very long as he got right back up to block Trunks' next attack with his spoon, only for it to be sliced clean in half. But suddenly, the two travellers noticed that the remaining lights were flickering intensely before suddenly shutting off, leaving them in darkness. This lasted until the lights instantly turned back on, but this time, they’re not alone. They were surrounded! Surrounded by metal giants all too familiar with The Doctor.
The Doctor: Ah. I should've known.
Trunks: You know these guys?
The Doctor: Cybermen!
Trunks: They don’t look like Saibamen.
The Doctor: Ok, when I say run…
But before The Doctor could finish, Trunks instantly rushed into battle, fighting off each Cyberman with a barrage of sword slashes and Ki attacks. The Doctor just stared before making his decision.
The Doctor: (sighs) Well at least he’s entertained.

Title[]
The title is simply a combination of two names relating to each of the combatants (The Doctor being referred to as "The Oncoming Storm" and Trunks' Super Saiyan Rage form respectively).
Cover art[]
The cover art depicts a shard from the Crack of Time (a major location within the fight) with the TARDIS contained inside of it. Trunks' Keysword is seen plunging into the bottom left of the shard while The 9th/10th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver emerges from the top right.
