Guess whos back with another chapter of your favorite retcon? That's right! Chapter 4! Sorry for the wait, but this one was the hardest to write so far, and I had to get my ideas straight. So lets see how this goes, shall we?

/

Everything was silent. No one dared make as sound, for fear of the consequences. Every warrior, every warrior looked on at the crater, and the unimaginable pressure given off.

There, in the center of the crater, stood a single warrior, who was thought to have just died. But he did not come back unarmed. He stood, hanging loosely, barely any sign of being conscious. then , as I fall at once, he exploded with white and blue radiance, a massive pillar of pure energy erupting where he stood, a fierce, almost primal roar coming out from deep within, shaking the whole stage. When the energy died down, he stood, straight as ever, hair waving slowly, being thrown loosely by the aura that had imploded from the massive pillar of energy, now calmly enveloping his body. But that wasn't the most terrifying part of him. No, the most petrifying feature was his eyes, which were now a piercing silver, as if all emotion was void from them.

He stood, facing a single person, looking straight at them. That person was Jiren, his main focus. He slowly stepped forward, before dashing forward and immediately met Jiren, who dodged his kick by ducking. HIs movement was so quick, so refined that none could even see it happen, not the warriors, not the kais, not even the gods could tell what had just occurred. within the next instant, the two powerhouses were locked in a fierce battle of fists, their movements so fluent, so fast that they both looked like they weren't even moving. Slowly, as the unstoppable assault continued, It could be seen that Jiren was gaining the upper hand. Then, to everyones surprise, Jiren reeled over in pain, a fist in his stomach. Gogeta stood up straight, closing his eyes, before sliding forward, and Jiren was assaulted on all sides with rapid, rainbow strikes, which if Jirens desperate struggle were any indication, were effectively unstoppable.

Jiren, quickly getting agitated by this technique, exploded with energy, extending the crater by 20 feet all around. When the dust settled, however, Gogetas aura was seen to have a faint orange in it, enveloping a completely unscathed saiyan, much to Jirens dismay.

A certain moustached pride trooper flew down at the saiyan, attempting to aid his comrade. however, he was met instead with the fist of another saiyan, who had seen and intercepted this attempt at his brother.

"Hello, big guy. I think we should give them some privacy, lets go somewhere more private..." He cooly stated, before spinning and throwing the pride trooper away, jumping off after him.

The orange aura faded from around Gogeta, leaving him vulnerable, which the infuriated pride trooper took as his opportunity, charging forward, but was met once again with an equally fierce assault. The two battled, seemingly equals, before Jiren was once again hit in the stomach with an untraceable strike, which Gogeta took as his opportunity again, this time knocking him up and immediately warping behind him, hitting him away once again, and warping behind the grey warrior. This pattern continued, Gogetas attacks growing in ferocity and speed, slowly adjusting and speeding up. However, he was quickly tiring, until he finished his brutal assault with a downward kick, sending the pride trooper into the ground and blasting him against the time pillar in the middle, where he began focusing his aura into his fist, which eventually started glowing in rainbow colours.

Meanwhile, A battered and beaten pride trooper stood up, charging his own ki into his fist, getting ready for the inevidable clash that would end their battle, getting into a stance to blast off at his opponent.

both warriors stared daggers at each other, before blasting off towards each other, getting ready to end their battle. Behind Gogeta, a large, almost scaled body began to appear, as he called out the name of his technique:

"STARDUST DRAGON FIST!" His massive roar once again shacking not just the tournament stage, but the whole world of void, as the head of a dragon appeared where his fist once was, his ki forming a dragon as he flew toward jiren, all the while leaving small particles behind, which flew off in all directions.

When the pride troopers fist met the massive dragon, the two battled for dominance, before jiren closed his eyes, closing them and sending a shockwave out, dispersing the dragon and knocking the saiyan within out of the mysterious state he had take non, and sending him flying down, unconscious and beaten, spazing with violent waves of the residue ki from jirens massive attack, barely breathing. Jiren, Quite beaten himself, went to knock the saiyan who had caused him so much trouble with his techniques. However, he was instead put on the defenses again, when the assassin hit came and tried a sucker punch on him.

"whew, that was quite the beating your friend took, wouldn't you say?" a certain cocky saiyan stated, casually dodging attacks from the pride trooper he was currently engaging, taunting him with how well his borther had done against the pride trooper. He hated to admit it, but Gogeta did have superior instincts, so it was clear that he would have to be the one to gain ultra instinct. But Vegito couldn't have predicted his brothers punisher drive and super mad dance could be powered up so much. even his last attack, the stardust dragon fist, was a combination of his two ultimate techniques, the soul punisher and the dragon fist, and its energy was massive! However, it was still painstakingly clear that Jiren far outclassed him, even with his brothers secret technique.

"Maybe you should focus on our, battle, saiyan!" The pride trooper answered, not willing to show the concern and shock he felt for how much the saiyan had gained, even catching jiren off guard and throwing him through such a brutal beating! He let his frustration out on the saiyans brother, throwing extra force into his final strike, which broke off the exchange of fists, before the two warriors began firing ki blasts at each other, countering the barrages perfectly.

"I know he fell around here somewhere... there he is!" A small, familiar female figure stated, running up to the body, laying on the tournament ground, run into a massive cavern from the final strike he took.

"He's barely conscious, and fading fast!" The same female, who had previously engaged the saiyan before that brutal beating he gave and took from Jiren cried, worried for her self-proclaimed mentor. "Kale, what should we do!?"

"Leave him be. He's tougher than you two can imagine, and hes been through worse and survived. Hell, he's died three times." A voice came, deep and stoic, from the mouth of the cave. The two saiyans who had been inspecting the body turned to see who the voice could belong too, seeing a namekian along with an orange-clad man standing next to him who caulifla recognized as part of universe 7.

"What do you mean he's died three times!? He's clearly fine!" The small saiyan girl yelled at the namekian, who no doupt had come to check on the saiyan himself.

"We don't have time for this. We'll leave his fate to you two." The warrior clan namekian, Piccolo stated to the two girls, turning to his accomplice. "LEt's go, gohan."

"Right, lets go." The man, now identified as gohan said, taking one last glance at the girls and body lying there, before helping piccolo roll a boulder infront of the cave, so jiren couldn't find them, seeing as he would no doupt search for his enemy. "But piccolo, what did you mean he's died three times? We barely know him!" Gohan stated, confused at his masters odd claim to the literal death count of the warrior.

"Oh, I belive I may have figured out the identity of the two new warriors of ours, so i'm pretty sure my tally is accurate." The green warrior claimed, confident at his understanding of the two saiyan brothers origins.

"If you say so, piccolo..."

Meanwhile, in the crater the two universe 7 warriors had left their teammate and two enemies, the two girls were waiting patiently for their mentor to wake up, eager to learn more from him and eager to see him for a different reason as well, though neither of them would admit it. Slowly, he began to stur, and open his eyes, before shooting up and preparing two ki blasts in his hand, scanning his surroundings, before collapsing to one knee again, dispersing his ki blasts.

"Hey! calm it down, hotshot! It's just us!" The hot headed saiyan, who had retreated to the far wall of the cave out of fear for the older saiyan shouted, before seeing him fall down and rushing to his aid, along with her friend.

"Yeah, just take it easy... you took quite the beating out there." The smaller of the saiyans said, helping the saiyan to lay down with her sis, trying to get the man to rest. which was insane! They were enemies, right? So why was she so driven to help him while he's vulnerable? She pinned it down to being thankful for standing up for her and facing the superior warrior in her stead. speaking of which...

"Hey... Gogeta...?" Kale calmly spoke, swallowing her fear as the older saiyan resting on the ground looked at her, "I... just wanted to say... thank you. You stood up to that monster Jiren for me, even after I attacked you so abruptly..."

"Hey, speaking of which... why were you such a jerk during our fight?!" Caulifla demanded down at the injured man, who slowly sat up to speak.

"It was to help you get stronger. A saiyans true power comes from pure emotion. Since you basically unlocked both transformations naturally, they were weaker than they should have bee. no amount of training could power them up, as training a super saiyan state induces that you tap into the unimaginable power you first experienced when you transformed. but since you never experienced that, you wouldn't have gotten any stronger, unless you experienced that pure emotion. So, to sum it up, I was training you. And it seems it worked. While I was slowly increasing my power during our fight, I could feel you getting stronger in response, and that final strike was what I was looking for." His words caught the girl off guard. he was making her... stronger...? Come to think of it, she did feel stronger after their fight...

"And look, even kale was able to control her super saiyan power. I'm very proud of both of you." His words were so sincere, the two girls couldn't help but look away with embarrassment. Why the hell am I embarrassed?! All he did was praise us! So why do I feel so...? Caulifla shook herself out of her thoughts, standing up and powering up, looking down at the beaten saiyan. "I hope you didn't think I was happy! You're gonna teach me to turn into that form you used to fight Jiren!" She demanded, blasting the rock and cave walls away, showing their spot off to everyone, forcing Gogeta to get up and fight. Kale, seeing the chance, stood next to caulifla.

"Fine. I'll fight you." the male saiyan stood up, facing them and taking a fighting stance, before powering up.

Somethings not right. He was far more powerful when he fought sis before and even when he fought jiren. Kale thought to herself, feeling the saiyans power fluctuating unevenly, as if he wasn't in control of his power. She, however, paid no mind to this and instead powered up to her own super saiyan form, which she could control, thankfully.

The two girls looked at each other, nodding before charging forward at the saiyan, who just dodged all of their strikes, despite the speed, power and number difference. Something was different about how he fought. it was as if he knew what they would of before they did! Just then, caulifla heard the angel of universe 7 mention something about martial arts, a term caulifla had never been particularly fond of, despite the fact it would clearly make her stronger. she, instead chose a much more direct approach to combat which was, clearly backfiring on her. So if hes using these martial arts to predict our next moves, then if I kick here... Her plan worked, as her foot connected with the saiyan, however his reflexes let him block the strike, before retreating back, giving himself some breathing space.

"Hm. Clever, Caulifla. using unusual battle tactics to throw off my pattern. I'm glad you were able to figure that out so quickly. However... this is a battle." Suddently, The two girls were surrounded by replicas of the saiyan, all identical. What the hell is going on!? Caulifla thought, confused at how the saiyan was able to literally duplicate himself, before getting a closer look at the clones. there had to be a pattern...

Suddenly, all the clones rushed the girls at once, forcing them to brace themselves for impact. To their surprise, they only felt strikes on each of their backs, sending them flying into a rock. As the two saiyans looked on, their opponent and mentor walked slowly towards them, with his usual confidence, but kale could see the strain he was putting on his body. Although, he was still a saiyan, and his body was healing quickly. Out of nowhere, he began to duplicate again. Kale, however, had figured out the attack.

"Those aren't actually clones. They can't hurt us. There's only one of you whose real." she stated, understanding the technique they were facing.

"Correct. But, just because you understand a technique doesn't mean you can beat it." Suddenly, all of the clones were enveloped with the white aura Gogeta gave off in his base form. But Kale found one small detail that gave the attack away. One clones aura is wilder than the others... Just like Gogetas aura was when we first began. That must be him! The saiyan faked fear, pretending his technique was unreadable. Then, when he closed in to attack, Kale struck the clone she was sure was her enemy, which caused the rest of the clones to disperse.

"Well done, kale... You found the flaw in my attack and exploited it." He stated, struggling to stand, but eventually getting up before exploding with the golden aura of his super saiyan state, hair flowing like hers, as oppose to caulifla whos hair stood on end, being in her super saiyan 2 state. Suddenly, more clones appeared in greater numbers. Kale looked, and found the clone with an uneven aura, preparing to strike it and hopefully stop Gogeta from using this technique. However, when the clones did come in, the clone she was sure was the real thing phased right through her, much to her surprise. She braced for the strike he would inflict on her for not finding him... only it never came. all the clones phased right through the girls, much to their surprise. When they looked up, however, they saw him charging two attacks, a turquoise ball in one hand a a yellow ball in the other.

"HAH!" He yelled out, pushing the yellow ki blast forward, which shot out multiple ki blasts that rained down on them. The balls were weak, but it prevented them from advancing on him, effectively cutting off their one way to reach him.

"KALE! CHARGE AN ATTACK! HE CAN"T TAKE BOTH OF OUR BEAMS!" Caluifla shouted, desperately trying to communicate with her prodigy and creat a paln. She ha been charging red ki in her hands for awhile, but she needed kale to do the same.

Kale, understanding Cauliflas plan, began charging a green energy beam in her hands, getting ready to blast through the barrage. However, before they had a chance, the barrage stopped, confusing the girls. But whe nKale looked straight ahead, she saw Gogeta standing there with the turquoise ball in hand. Had he been charging that this whole time!?

Kale, thinking quick, thrust her attack forward, getting ready for the counter. "ERASER CANNON!" She yelled, catching cauliflas attention as the attack rushed towards Gogeta.

Caulifla, seeing what kale was doing, quickly threw her own attack as well, combining with kales as it rushed towards their master.

"FINAL SHINE ATTACK!" Gogeta yelled, sending his own attack towards the girls, exploding into his super saiyan 2 state in the process. The two beams collided, forcing each other back, going back and forth. However, Kale and Caulifla quickly gained the advantage, taking over the bema struggle. Just when they were about to envelope Gogeta in their attack, he exploded in Golden energy, hair bursting longer as he ascended beyond the two saiyans current power, immediately enveloping their attack, meeting absolutely no resistance. as the attack quickly wrapped itself around the two saiyans, their screams were all that were heard.

"Ugh... too strong..." Caulifla told kale, stating the obvious. she looked behind her and saw the edge of the stage, them being pinned down against the edge. she looked up and saw their mentor standing above them in his ascended state, glowing a strong golden energy.

"You two were both very impressive. But I'm afraid it's time to end this battle." Gogetas words came with the same power as before when he had faced her alone, furthering his seriousness about eliminating them. No! This can't be it! We still have so much to learn from him! We have to learn super saiyan 3 from him! But he's too strong! I should have realised that he was too strong when he and his brother eliminated universe 9... wait a minute... his brother! That's it! Caulifla suddenly remembered a certain cat entity who gave two namekians matching earrings to fuse. When she heard about that, and when she saw Gogetas brother wearing them, she snatched them off of him while he was in pain before the tournament!

"Hey Kale! Here!" She said, throwing the earring to her friend, before securing hers to her ear. "Put it on!"

"Wait! No!" She could hear Gogeta yell, but it was too late. When kale secured her earring, the two flew towards each other, before colliding, two saiyans became one.

/

Another day, another chapter! This chapter was a little harder to write, but I think it ended okay! Why was Gogeta against the fusion? I guess we'll find out... next time! Now, to address the main issue of this chapter: Why was Gogeta so weak facing caulifla and Kale? The answer is quite simple: He took a much larger hit than goku did, as Jiren was TICKED with Gogeta, and put an unnecessary amount of force into his blow. Also, Frieza didn't give him any energy, so He had to rely on his stamina to come back during the fight. That's it for this chapter! Please, feel free to leave a review, as they do help me get these out more regularly!
