Disciples of Evil

is the seventeenth chapter of Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission.
==Summary==
Beat and Note lay waste to General Blue and the Pirate Robot in a simulation observed by the others. Yoshito-kun and Momo-chan are impressed by how accustomed they have become to the system, while Beat feels like he is very close to getting a handle on something. Unfortunately, as Kagyu observes, all they can do is run simulations and wait until the Dragon Orb reacts in order to find the Shadow Dragons. As though on cue, the Dragon Orb suddenly goes off. Tsubasa raises it to the view screen, which reveals five points across the globe. Yoshito-kun wonders if the three kidnapped competitors are somewhere among these locations. Tsubasa thinks so. Yoshito-kun recommends that they all go around to each spot as a group, even though it will take time, but Froze refuses: they do not have that kind of time. Tsubasa nervously confirms that this may indeed be the case. Note then suggests that the five of them split up and go to each location individually. Yoshito-kun does not think that is a good idea, but Froze points out that it is their only choice. Kagyu says to leave it to him; with the Hero Badges given to them by Yoshito-kun, they will be able to communicate from the other battlefields, and with the Network Matching system, they will be able to rush to one another's location if need be. When Note says not to worry since the five of them have never known defeat in their simulations Beat points out that one of them has not come back from his simulation yet, Kabra. They find him and see he has lost, again, to the fused Pilaf Machine. He suddenly notices everyone watching him and reacts cluelessly to their less-than-pleased expressions. With that, Tsubasa prepares to send them each off to a different Age, where an Evil Dragon may be waiting for them. Defeating the Evil Dragons would be the ideal, but their mission's priority for now is to rescue Nim, Nico, and Genome. Yoshito-kun gives them extra badges if they should find one of the three, since they are fellow Heroes. With that, the Time-Space Transfer Apparatus is activated, and the five of them are off. Just as they are about to teleport off, a capsule is now ready, and Tsubasa quickly tosses it to Beat. Yoshito-kun and Momo-chan are puzzled. When he arrives at the battlefield, Beat is caught off-guard at it being over the ocean, barely avoiding plunging into the water below. He is immediately greeted by Nim, who appears behind him. Beat explains that he has come to rescue him, and that they should come back, but Nim does not understand why he should need rescuing. He says that it is not an Evil Dragon, but Shenron who gave him his power, the Six-Star Shenron: Oceanus Shenron who appears on the cracked Dragon Ball on his forehead. As Beat recoils in shock, Nim sends out his cards: Android 17, Hell Fighter 17, Semi-Perfect Cell, and Super Android 13, and demands that Beat take out his deck, as well because he will lose if he goes it alone.
Elsewhere, Kabra and Abra arrive at a desolate battlefield, scarred as though it has already seen a great battle. As Kabra wonders to himself where he is, the Majin Berserker appears and tells him it is the Sacred World of the Kai of long ago. The Majin Berserker introduces himself as Salaga and says that he must be Nobra. Kabra angrily corrects him. Salaga asks him if he likes the place, but Kabra just wants to know why it is so beat-up if it is really the Sacred World of the Kai. Salaga is surprised he, a Majin user, does not know this was the place where, long ago, the Supreme Kais fought with Kid Buu and lost. In other words, it is like the place where Majin began; the perfect Age for two Majin avatars to fight it out. Kabra has no interest in fighting, since this is not really the time with everything that is going on. Abra recommends that Salaga go home, but he has no intention of doing so. As Abra chastises Kabra for slipping into an "I-want-to-go-home" rant, Salaga bring out his cards: Kid Buu, Piccolo, and two incarnations of Super Buu (base and Gohan absorbed). His headpiece then breaks to reveal the cracked Three-Star Dragon Ball, as it dawns on both Abra and Kabra that he is evil. Abra's banter from inside Kabra's headpiece has not escaped Salaga's notice, and he correctly identifies the cat as a Neko Majin. Abra retreats inside, as Salaga laughs maniacally.
Meanwhile, Beat is trying to convince Nim that they should not fight, while Nim is annoyed at Beat's unwillingness and decides to use Super Android 13 to finish him off. Just then, Momo-chan contacts Beat to let him know that the same ki as the Evil Dragons is overflowing from Nim. He might be under a Shadow Dragon's control. Yoshito-kun says that the badge he gave Beat will allow him to speak directly to Nim's mind, so he needs to get the badge on Nim to drive out the Shadow Dragon. Tsubasa thinks they will have to aim for the instant after he is defeated, when he has depleted his ki. Beat resigns himself to fighting and holds out the capsule Tsubasa gave to him. Nim activates Card Action Ability: Double to attack in tandem with Super Android 13. At Tsubasa's signal, Beat activates the capsule just as Nim and Super Android 13 reach their target. There is a powerful explosion, and when the smoke clears, Super Android 13 has punched through what remains of Beat. Momo-chan screams, and Nim seems amused at Beat's quick disappearance. However, Tsubasa urges them to look closer: it is only Beat's clothes. Just then, a huge column of water erupts from the sea, with Beat silhouetted inside. Beat has made his decision: if Nim wants to fight that badly, then a fight is what he will get. Super Saiyan 2 Bardock, Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Adult Gotenks, and GT Gohan emerge from the water in front of Beat. Nim is pleased that Beat is now ready to fight, while Beat tells him not to understand: he is here to save him. But as the column of water recedes, Nim is shocked at Beat's new appearance. If that is what it takes in order to wake him up, then Beat is going to defeat him.
