Hearing that Zebra and Acacia had been eliminated, Gohan stood still for a few seconds. Finally, he turned to Saena, who was sitting idly by.
" Are we going to fight now ? "
" Later ! " Saena said. " I have some business to take care of with one of your team members and I don't want to waste energy fighting you. "
" Hum ? "
Before Gohan could stop him, the namek flew up and circled the arena, looking for a particular fighter. When Saena was in the form of Pirina and Saonel, he had experienced three losses against Zebra, Law and Vegeta. As a Namek warrior, he had to avenge this affront, in the name of the memory of his people. Currently, he had already defeated Zebra and Law had been kicked out by Frieza. As a result, there was only Vegeta left.
Trying to straighten up, Goku couldn't help but moan in pain, as he still hadn't recovered from his fight against Jiren and Saitama.
" Damn it! These guys are really strong! If I am not able to control this new form, I am unable to defeat them. "
" It's the case. "
Advancing towards him, while having his arms crossed, Vegeta moved towards Goku.
" You shame the Saiyan race, Kakarot. "
Only able to laugh lightly, goku nodded slightly.
" Yeah! Jiren… Saitama… they are stronger than me! Nevertheless, I want to fight against them again. "
" Forget about it. " Vegeta advised him. " I'm going to take care of these two! Me, and no one else. "
" Ohoho! What do I hear? My little Vegeta seems to have become even more arrogant than before. "
Growling, Vegeta turned to see Frieza approaching them.
" Grrr ... What do you want? "
" Me ? I was just worried about Goku's health! I will be really distressed to know that he is in pain. "
Both saiyans of course heard the sarcasm in his voice. However, before escalating the situation, Frieza asserted in a serious voice.
" Knowing that two such powerful people is very compromising! On top of that, Saitama is part of Universe 6 which still has eight warriors! If we want to win this tournament, we have to attack this team. "
" Do what you want. " Said Vegeta simply shrugging his shoulders. " But it was I who would fight Saitama. "
'' Do you want to be massacred so much, Vegeta? " Asked Frieza. " Are you stupid enough not to see that you are unable to defeat these two people? I thought you were smarter. "
" What did you say ? "
Suddenly, the duo, as well as Goku froze, as a powerful surge of energy was felt.
" What … ? "
Staring at a huge green aura in the distance, Goku couldn't help but be frightened.
" This energy ? It is … "
" INCURSIO ! "
Covered in his teigu's armor, Tatsumi was able to withstand Cabba's punches. Striking the armor over and over again, the saiyan looked stunned to notice that his attacks didn't scratch the slightest bit.
"Damn it! What material is this armor made of ? "
" It's useless! You are unable to destroy my armor. "
Jumping back, Cabba directed his hand towards Tatsumi, before starting to create a huge ki-blast.
" That's what we'll see. "
However, he received a powerful kick in the face, which made him cancel his attack. Shipped against the ground, Cabba rolled a few times, before finally managing to do a somersault and land on his feet.
Spitting some blood, the saiyan looked at Wave who was clad in the Grand Chariot. Staring at the boy first, Cabba then turned, while Tatsumi moved to his back. He was surrounded.
" I see ! Now is it two against one ? "
" In a battle royale, it can be ten against one. "
Finding nothing to answer, Cabba heard explosions in the distance. Flying through the air, Caulifla bombarded Kurome. Motionless, the young woman simply whispered.
" Destroyer… "
Immediately, NT Destroyer moved in front of her and let himself be touched by Caulifla's attacks. Seeing many explosions, as well as the duo disappear behind a cloud of smoke, Caulifla laughed.
" Hahaha! What an imbecile ! Did he really think he could handle my powerful attacks ? "
'' Is he really beaten, sis'? " Kale questioned her, as she flew behind her.
" Of course ! There is not a single warrior who could defeat me! I will be the one to defeat Saitama and Jiren. "
Suddenly she felt a surge of energy.
" What … ? "
Turning to the cloud of smoke, she saw a figure come out. But before she could move, she felt NT Destroyer's fist hit her stomach. Wincing in pain, the saiyan was speechless. Flying back, she put her arms around her stomach, while the pain she felt was unbearable.
" You little…"
Not even having time to finish speaking, Caulifla felt Nt Destroyer's tail wrap around his neck. Pulling her closer to him, the alien then flexed his arm, before nudging him on top of his head. The powerful blow, knocked Caulifla down.
" SIS' ! "
Looking up, NT Destroyer saw Kale rush at him. Attempting to hit him several times, she saw the alien move its head agile from side to side. Then he then hit him in the stomach.
Seeing Kale freeze in the pain, NT Destroyer then lifted his leg and also hit it on top of the head to make it fall.
Getting up in time to see Kale collapse to the ground, Caulifla grew angry.
" Motherfucker ! You will pay for it! "
However, hearing footsteps, she jumped to the side at the last minute, while the blade of a saber cut some of her hair. Having close to her, Kurome put on a calm face, while Caulifla looked at her in rage.
" How dare you ? "
Attempting to punch Kurome, Caulifla saw her jump back several times, before starting to flee.
" Come back here ! Bitch! "
Continuing to run, Kurome began to gracefully dodge each of his punches. She knew that one punch from Caulifla would be enough to knock her out. That was why she was running away. The only way she could defeat Caulifla was to use her speed. Continuing to dodge Caulifla's charges, Kurome suddenly saw her slow down the pace of her attacks.
Taking advantage, Kurome suddenly turned around, and pointed his sword at the saiyan. Guided by instinct, Caulifla tilted her head to the left, to avoid the blade. Teeth clenched, the saiyan felt blood run down her cheek, as a gash could be seen.
Eyes filled with rage, Caulifla couldn't contain her fury any longer.
" AHHHHHHHHH ! "
Screaming loudly, as an overpowered aura appeared, Caulifla transformed into a Super Saiyan. His eyes widened, Kurome stepped back. However, teleporting in front of her, Caulifla punched her in the face, which caused her to crash into a rock.
Standing up with difficulty, Kurome saw a source of light in front of her. Creating a ki-blast in his hand, Caulifla cried out.
" It is time for you to leave this land. "
However, the moment she was about to launch her attack, she felt a stone hit her back.
" Hum ? " She wondered, looking behind her.
Her eyes widened as she saw NT Destroyer. Standing behind her, the alien held Kale's neck in his hand, which he would forcefully hold. Struggling, the poor girl couldn't breathe. The alien's grip was so strong that she was unable to free herself.
" Kale ! "
Seeing Caulifla still aiming at his 'mistress', NT Destroyer squeezed Kale's neck further, making her moan in pain.
" Stop it. " Caulifla ordered him, causing his energy sphere to disappear.
Big mistake. Seeing her helpless, NT Destroyer pointed his second hand at her and created a ki-blast, which hit Caulifla. Taking two steps back, the saiyan could only fold her arms to take the attack. She did not attempt to counterattack, fearing the repercussions of her act.
" Grrr! You coward ! "
Suddenly, a deep pain was felt in his back. Placing her arms back, she cried out in pain, while a large gash could be seen in her back. The tip of his sword covered in blood, Kurome watched as Caulifla fell to her knees in front of her.
His face still cold, Kurome felt no guilt. No matter the way, a victory was a victory. And the situation forced him to use all stratagems in order to survive after this tournament.
NT Destroyer, meanwhile, watched Caulifla fall without doing anything. Despite being still dead and unable to speak, NT Destroyer understood very well that killing Kurome would also result in his elimination. Because of this, he had to protect Kurome so that he could continue having fun. Yet despite Caulifla still being down, he continued to squeeze Kale's neck.
Having stopped moving, Kale watched her foster sister being tortured by her two tormentors. Yet, unable to free herself from NT Destroyer's grip, she moved less and less, while her body was starved of oxygen.
Noticing this detail, Caulifla stood up a little, ordering her.
" Let go, asshole. "
In response, Destroyer created a ki-blast which he threw at Caulifla. To dodge it, the latter jumped in the air. Nevertheless, having anticipated her gesture, Kurome had imitated her and was now in front of her, with his sword in hand.
At that moment, Caulifla fixed her gaze and was startled. There was only death in Kurome's eyes. She wouldn't feel any guilt about killing someone like Caulifla.
" Get off, bitch ! " The saiyan roared, pointing her fist at her.
Kurome was faster. Feeling new pain, Caulifla froze as she looked at his hand. In an instant, three of his fingers had been cut off by Kurome's blade.
" What … ? "
" GRAND FALL ! "
Taking advantage of Tatsumi retaining Cabba, Wave had in turn fly towards the duo. Gaining height, he then quickly let himself fall towards Caulifla, whom he crushed under his foot. Feeling the powerful blow hit her skull, the saiyan felt as if she felt her brains burst, even before she hit the ground.
" CAULIFLA! " Cabba frightened, ejecting Tatsumi, before going to help his friend.
However, managing to keep his balance, Tatsumi quickly followed him, and managed to spin his combat spear, before sending it into Cabba's side. Screaming in pain, his enemy stopped dead.
Standing still, Destroyer just watched Wave and Kurome surround Caulifla's body. He didn't even think about Kale, who had stopped moving. Yet, being able to feel her pulse, Destroyer knew she was not dead. He was going to eliminate her afterwards.
" We won. " Kurome asserted.
"We just have to throw her out of the arena. " Wave approved.
However, in an instant, Caulifla opened her eyes and jumped over to Kurome. She hoped she could take advantage of his speed to give him a powerful punch. Bad luck for her, Wave's foot touched her arm and a terrible sound of broken bone was heard. This time, the Saiyan's right arm was broken.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! " She screamed in pain.
Seeing this, Destroyer seemed amused to see Caulifla's pathetic situation. Yet his smile vanished as soon as he sensed a sudden surge of power. Hearing Caulifla's cry, Kale felt a strange urge inside her. In an instant, green electricity surrounded her body, as her hair took on a similar color. Then, the muscles in her body tripled, making her look a lot bigger.
Feeling this power, the Universe 6 and 9 fighters around them stopped to look at it.
" What … ? "
" Oh shit ! Not yet. "
From the stands, the gods quickly understood what was going on.
" She will transform. " Najenda understood.
" NT DESTROYER ! " Rô shouted. " Hurry and eliminate him. "
However, instead of throwing her off the field, Destroyer smirked sadistically again, before using his second arm to punch Kale's body several times. He struck again and again, with force and speed. Still, he suddenly stopped, as his fist smashed Kale's nose.
Growling, the saiyan now in berseck mode just looked down at Destroyer. Then, slowly, she grabbed his arm. And a moment later, Kale pulled it off. Being a corpse, Destroyer didn't feel pain. However, that didn't stop him from freezing, surprised to see his arm being thrown to the side, like rubbish. Then, before she could react, Kale grabbed one of his horns, and began to spin around. Then she threw it away.
Still fighting Cabba, Tatsumi was about to attack him, when Destroyer's body hit him.
" What ? " Cabba wondered, seeing the duo crash against the wall of a cliff.
Not even having time to understand what had just happened, the Saiyan suddenly heard Kale start screaming at the top of his lungs.
Shaking the ground, Kale then turned her gaze to Kurome and Wave. Immediately, the duo couldn't help but take a step back. However, this did not help. In an instant, Kale moved so fast that she found herself in front of the two companions. Then, pieces of Wave's armor fell to the ground, as a punch from Kale managed to shatter it in his chest.
Feeling his feet leave the ground, Wave in turn crashed against a rock, and remained on the ground. Seeing him like this, Kale then directed her hand towards him and began to create an energetic sphere. However, she stopped as the blade of a sword struck the back of her neck.
Feeling a slight pain, as a trickle of blood escaped from a cut, Kale turned back to Kurome. Frightened by the fact that her sword had barely hurt her, the young girl pretended to run away. However, Kale managed to give her a massive slap, which made Kurome fly until she fell next to Wave.
Within seconds, Kale had managed to defeat four members of Universe 9. Holding her arm, Caulifla didn't know how to react. Certainly, Kale was his friend. Nevertheless, she was afraid that she would know how to despise herself in her new form.
However, she ends up straightening up before asserting.
" Unbelievable ! You are really amazing, Ka… "
She was silent the instant Kale placed her hand in front of her face. Then, the next second, everyone could see her create a breaking wave that pulverized the entire area in front of her.
" AHHHHHHHHHHH ! " Shouted Champa. " But what is this idiot doing ? "
" She seems to have lost her mind again. " Vados remarked.
" We had to bet it. " Said Dr Rôta. " She is unable to control herself! It might even be better for Hit to eliminate it before it does any more damage. "
" Chopopo ! " Magetta said, while Botama nodded.
" GRRR! Don't say anything! We need Kale to win. "
'' Maybe, but if she can defeat Caulifla and the others, that would be the beginning of our end. "
Taking off his glasses, Rota used his coat to wipe them off. Then he declared.
" I am perhaps the weakest of the team, the fact remains that I know that Kale is now some kind of demonic joker! His berserk mode allows him to do a lot of damage to the enemy! However, our team also has to pay the price! Is it really stupid to want to see her in the stands rather than on the pitch ourselves? "
Not knowing what to say, Champa ended up looking at the field, to see how Caulifla was.
For her part, being sadistically smiling, Kale nevertheless ends up turning her face to the side. At the top of a rock, Kabbe was staring at her, while holding Caulifla in his arms. Breathless, the boy had saved his friend in extremis. However, the entire left side of his body was completely burned. Kale's attack had done her serious damage, proof that she really wanted to kill Caulifla.
" KALE ! " The boy shouted. " Can I know what's going on with you? Don't you recognize your friends? "
In response, Kale flew towards him and tried to hit him. Having no other choice, Kabbe hurried to jump off his perch, which exploded when Kale crashed into him. Landing on the ground, the saiyan then fled, followed by Kale, who seemed to have fun chasing him, with the aim of crushing him.
Feeling his power behind his back, Kabbe fled again and again, wasting no time turning around. Eventually, jumping over a boulder, he found himself between Kirishima, Bakugo and Tokoyami, fighting against Heine and Juliet.
" What ? " The whole group wondered, surprised by the arrival of the sayan.
Still, the five fighters were even more surprised to see a boulder cut to pieces, while Kale appeared in turn. Seeing that she was in berseck mode, the fighters of Universe 12 couldn't help but be scared.
" Oh no ! Not that ! "
" This shape… that's what she eliminated Momo with. "
Seeming to recognize them, Kale flew up to them. Then, before either of the teens could attack him, Kirishima and Bakugo felt his fists hit their bellies. Spitting blood and slime, the two boys were kicked out of the area. Then, Kale gave a quick swing of his arm and slapped Heine's face, which hit the ground.
" Heine ? " Juliet wondered, pretending to run to help her.
However, she stopped dead. Standing still, she slowly lowered her gaze, only to see de Kale's arm pass through her body. Feeling her body start to glow with a bright light, Juliet could only whisper.
" Erza-chan ... forgive me. "
Then, finally, his body disappeared and transformed into a white sword whose blade was broken in two. Kale had killed Juliet in one fell swoop. Yet, since she was only Erza's weapon, her 'death' was not going to result in an elimination.
Still fighting Kizaru, Erza suddenly began to roar as she felt a strange painful pressure in her body.
" That … ? She wondered, falling to her knees.
"Juliet… "
