He looks at his hands, shocked. "What...? How did that-..."
"You entered the purest form of Angelic Ki," Whis says, shocking both Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta. "Ultra Instinct is a very watered down version of Angelic Ki. It doesn't quite manifest itself as you would expect."
"So all this time, Ultra Instinct is... Angelic Ki?" Gohan asks. "Is that why the gods were so shocked during the Tournament of Power?"
"That's correct," Whis replies. "Ultra Instinct isn't exactly Angelic Ki, but it's a very... diluted version of it. The form you entered, Vegeta..." He looks up at him. "Was you pulling out some of the true potential of Ultra Instinct, or Angelic Ki if you will. You could say it's a second stage to Ultra Instinct."
"The first name that came to mind was Celestial Super Saiyan," Vegeta admits. "However, I have a better name for it. Combining the primal power of the Super Saiyan form, and the true manifestation of Angelic Ki... I will call it 'Primal Instinct'."
Suddenly, a portal opens up in the sky, and Jiren leaps down from it, landing on the ground. It cracks, startling the three of them. Goku smiles widely. "Hey, Jiren! Uh, could you please be a little more careful?"
Jiren would have a black suit rather than a red and black one. He looks up, and his eyes are dark red. Vegeta tackles Goku out of the way just as particles shoot from Jiren's eyes and narrowly miss Bulma's house.
"That isn't the Jiren we know!" Vegeta says to Goku. "He's been converted to their side! Damn it all..."
Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta get into their fighting stances, facing Jiren, who stares at him with lifeless eyes. He yells, as he launches toward them at blinding speeds, bringing back his fist.
Chapter Twelve
Music: Eternal Eclipse - Ride of the Revenant [Start at 1:23]
Jiren brings back his fist, as he slams it onto Gohan's face, sending him flying across the city, crashing through buildings. "NGAHHH!"
Bulma runs into her house, activating her security systems, though it probably wouldn't do much good to protect her and her family. Goku yells, entering Super Saiyan. He slams a punch onto Jiren's face, but it doesn't do anything.
Vegeta shoots behind Jiren, entering Super Saiyan Two. He slams a kick onto his back, but it still does nothing. "He's a lot stronger than before, Kakarot! We cannot hold BACK!"
Jiren's eyes pulsate, as Goku and Vegeta are hit, being sent back. Whis huffs, and taps his staff. Now they would be in in a barren wasteland away from the city. "I wonder why Lord Beerus is taking so long in the bathroom..."
Gohan shoots forward, entering Super Saiyan God. He front flips, as he slams a kick onto Jiren's neck, but it still doesn't do anything to make him flinch. He grabs Gohan's leg, and slams him on the ground with great force.
Gohan coughs up spit, as Goku and Vegeta go Super Saiyan Blue, barraging Jiren from behind. Jiren skids forward, then begins to clash with the two of them. Multiple layers of the ground shatter, shock waves shooting around them as they clash.
He still manages to easily overcome their strength. He yells, a dark, cold red outline appearing around him. Gohan gets up, and yells, stacking Mystic on top of Super Saiyan God.
He roars, as he launches a Masenko at Jiren. He punches it away, causing it to explode in the distance. Goku enters Super Saiyan Blue Evolution, launching a Kamehameha at Jiren. Jiren blocks it, skidding back.
This gives Vegeta the chance to leap behind him in Super Saiyan Blue Evolution, barraging him with full force. Jiren grunts, as all three of them are now attacking him. He yells, a shock wave blasting from him.
The three Saiyans are sent back, being sent crashing into rocks. Goku gets up on one knee, wiping dirt from his face. "KAIOKEN TIMES TWENTY!" A pillar of red energy shoots from him, and he roars.
The red aura around him fades, and he turns a pinkish color, having utilized the mastered Kaioken. He instant transmissions in front of Jiren, and slams a punch into his gut, sending him flying across the land. "GH!"
Jiren lands on his feet, skidding back, crashing through one rock after the other. He launches toward Goku, ending up in front of him in an instant. His eyes pulsate, as more attacks are sent toward Goku.
Goku raises his fists to block them, grunting. He begins to attack back, and the two would be clashing rapidly. "HAAAAAAAA!"
Jiren would press harder, sending Goku back. He roars, as a dark red aura flares up around him. He slams a punch into Goku's gut with a sickening CRUNCH. Goku yells, as he is sent crashing onto the ground. "My ribs... Gckk... My ribs... they're cracked..."
Vegeta and Gohan shoot up a distance away from Jiren. "FINAL... KA... ME... HA... ME... HAAA!" Gohan and Vegeta launch a combined attack toward Jiren, who knocks it away with his hand.
Jiren raises his hand, launching a dark red Ki blast into Gohan, sending him up high in the sky. Jiren closes his hand, and a massive explosion consumes Gohan. It'd be the same attack he used against Kale in the Tournament of Power, but on a greater scale.
The clouds are blown away, and wind blasts Goku and Vegeta, shocking the two of them. Goku clenches his fists, as he roars, the galaxy shaking. Heat shoots from him, and his hair flashes blue.
He enters Super Saiyan Blue Four, slowly opening his eyes. He looks up at Jiren, squinting at him. "You bastard... You better hope Gohan is still alive..."
This increase in power catches Jiren's attention, and he turns toward Goku. Vegeta enters Super Saiyan Blue Four as well, and the two of them would stand side by side in their fighting stances.
Goku vanishes in front of Jiren in an instant, and the two begin to clash very rapidly, the two of them vanishing across the air. Goku would have the upper hand, as he flips upside down, and kicks Jiren down to the ground.
Jiren crashes to the ground, grunting. He gets up, and a giant fiery aura bursts from him, illuminating the land. He enters his full power, but isn't breaking his limits yet. He coats his fists in red Ki, and begins to throw punches toward Goku so fast, it would be blurry.
Goku raises his arms to block, and they slam into them, knocking him back. "His power is absurd! I'm taking damage through my guard!"
He yells, breaking through the attacks. He swings a punch at Jiren, who catches it. He swings his other fist, and Jiren catches it. He then twists him, sending him spinning in midair like he did with Vegeta before.
He then follows it with a kick, sending Goku down toward the ground. He manages to stop himself, spitting blood out of his mouth. Vegeta zooms past him, and launches a Galick Gun at Jiren.
Jiren uppercuts it into the air, causing it to travel through space. He then closes his eyes, and then glares at Vegeta with such force, that a singular focused attack slams into Vegeta's gut.
Vegeta's eyes go blank, and he free falls toward the ground. Right before he lands, he regains consciousness and manages to land on his two feet. "It's happening again... I can't let it happen..."
He watches as Goku begins to power up into his mastered Kaioken state on top of Super Saiyan Blue Four. He realizes just how similar this is to the Tournament of Power. Him being outmatched by Jiren, and Goku outclassing him... Damn it...
Goku yells. "KAIOKEN TIMES TEN!" A burst of energy shoots from him, and his form turns more pinkish. He launches a giant glowing Kamehameha at Jiren. He blocks it, being launched back. With a lot of effort, he manages to push it away.
Vegeta fists shake, as he clenches them harder. A burst of heat shoots from him, and his hair flashes silver. A blue and purple glowing aura appears around him, as he enters Ultra Instinct. "I will have to enter that form again..." He tries to focus, trying to conceal the heat coming from him.
Jiren and Goku continue to clash, the two of them being about equal in their current states. Goku is sent back, and Instant Transmissions behind Jiren, kicking him forward. "HAAA!"
Vegeta opens his eyes. "I got it! If I could enter Super Saiyan in this state, I could possibly..." He yells, the ground shaking around him. His hair flashes yellow for a moment, but he loses focus on Ultra Instinct, forcing him out of the form.
He pants heavily, looking up at the fight between Goku and Jiren. "Damn it all..."
Jiren's power would be increasing as he fights with Goku. He would start getting the upper hand again, and he would mercilessly barrage Goku with full speed, then chops him to the ground, causing chunks of the landscape to fly up into the air, and back down, causing massive damage.
Goku gets up from the rubble, panting. "I can't go any higher in terms of my mastered Kaioken... If I could only..." His Kaioken fades, and his form goes back to the regular Super Saiyan Blue Four. "That's it...! If I could..."
Jiren launches down toward him, but just out of the blue, he is kicked in the side by Vegeta in Ultra Instinct. Goku's eyes widen. "Vegeta?"
Vegeta glances at him, growling. "What are you waiting for, Kakarot?! Do whatever you needed to!"
Goku closes his eyes, and begins to yell, his muscles bulking up. Vegeta and Jiren exchange punches and kicks, causing cracks in reality to form.
Goku gets up, and the ground shatters under him. His hair flashes dark blue, and sparkles form around him. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
A massive blue explosion shoots out from him, and electricity shoots around him. He opens his eyes, as now you can see his irises. He would have entered Super Saiyan Blue 4 Evolution. "As I thought, I knew it would be possible!"
Gohan flies up next to Goku, injured. "Sorry, dad... Nnggh... I can't fight him."
Goku yells, a large wavy aura shooting up around him. Vegeta would be losing the clash with Jiren, being knocked around, even in Ultra Instinct. Goku gets in a stance, and launches toward Jiren at full speed.
He yells, slamming a punch onto Jiren's face. Jiren is sent crashing through mountains, destroying the landscape. The force would be so great, that there is a global earthquake.
Jiren grunts, getting up from the ground. He wipes a little blood off his chin. He roars, his muscles bulking up. The entire universe vibrates and flashes, as bunches of energy and heat shoot from him.
His shirt rips, and a dark red aura similar to Ultra Instinct's appears around him. He glares up at Goku and Vegeta, powering up to shocking levels.
"Vegeta," Goku says, "you need to evolve Super Saiyan Blue Four as well. I'll stall him as you did with me, got it?"
"No," Vegeta replies, surprising Goku. "If you're thinking about fusion, I'm not going to do it. I am going to unlock that Angelic Ki again right now, and then use it to transform!"
Goku sighs, as he charges up, his aura spiking up even more. "Just hurry, alright?" He zooms toward Jiren at insane speeds, going to clash with him some more.
Vegeta closes his eyes, and immediately he slips out of consciousness and into his mind. He sees a pitch black landscape, and looks around. "Wherever you are, show yourself!"
He hears footsteps echoing behind him, and immediately turns around to see that strange galactic figure in front of him, constantly changing shape. At one point, Vegeta could've sworn he'd taken on the shape of something familiar, with pointy ears.
"Who are you?" Vegeta asks. "Tch, that doesn't matter. I need some of that Angelic Ki!"
The figure's voice would be a very metallic and ominous one. "I have seen potential in you, and I decided to test you with the powers of an angel... However, you failed the test."
Vegeta would get increasingly ticked off at this guy. "Test? TEST?! I don't have time for this! Kakarot's having to fight an ally of ours who was converted to the evil gods' side!"
The figure dissolves into smoke and surrounds Vegeta, making him feel re-energized. "Perhaps I will give you another chance to prove yourself. If you pass, you will have proved yourself, and I will consider allowing you permanent access to this power..."
Before Vegeta could respond, the figure fades, and suddenly he is awake again, still standing up. He looks at his hands and body, and notices that he is completely healed and full of energy.
His eyes flicker white, and he looks just in time to see Jiren swipe Goku, sending him down onto the ground, bleeding. "JIREN!"
Jiren stops, and then glances down at Vegeta with an expressionless face. Vegeta stares right back at him, as his hair flashes white as well. "Watch me."
Wind bursts from him that is so intense that it forces Jiren to raise his arm to shield himself from the wind. Vegeta's hair flickers and grows longer, and it would look similar to Super Saiyan Blue Evolution, but... white? His hair color would have changed for some reason.
His eyes turn fiery red, his muscles bulking up. He roars, as he releases his energy, splitting the landscape in half. Jiren lands on the ground in front of him just as Vegeta stops powering up. He would have entered Primal Instinct.
Vegeta just stands there, but having a stance with no openings. Jiren squints, as he launches forward toward Vegeta, his fist glowing with energy. He prepares to swing it, but Vegeta's entire body pulsates.
Vegeta flashes white, as Jiren is hit by many attacks, being launched back skidding. "Gch..."
Vegeta smirks, as he gets into his signature pose. He presses his palms together, then faces them outward toward Jiren. White sparkles begin to appear in them, and a white ring forms in front of him.
Jiren's eyes widen, as Vegeta yells, orange particles shooting into the ring. A glow forms in the center. He looks up toward Jiren, his eyes closed. "Omni-Shatter."
Where the attack was charging, a crack in reality forms, and gets bigger until it is about to shatter. A MASSIVE orange beam shoots out from the ring, and it splits into thousands of smaller beams.
They all surround Jiren and then go toward him at all sides, similar to Piccolo's hell zone grenade. Jiren manages to dodge most of them, but they are too fast for him. A couple of them slam into him, exploding in a huge light show.
Jiren is sent toppling through the area, landing on his back. He gets up, holding his left shoulder.
Vegeta walks toward Jiren, red lines appearing across his body, his power growing even higher. "What's wrong, Jiren? Isn't strength your specialty?"
Jiren yells in anger, as he launches toward Vegeta at full speed, swinging a punch at him. Vegeta catches the punch, his hand shaking. Jiren swings another punch, and Vegeta catches it as well.
"I've been wanting to get payback for the Tournament of Power," Vegeta says. He twists Jiren, spinning him in midair extremely fast, like Jiren did to him. He roars, as he swings his fist toward Jiren, but it doesn't connect.
Suddenly, a white burst of energy slams into Jiren's gut, sending him crashing through mountains, then he lands on the ground, coughing blood.
"I'd kick your ass some more, but it seems you can't handle it," Vegeta says. "I'll just end this."
He vanishes in front of Jiren, grabbing his arm, and then placing a foot on his back to prevent him from moving. He closes his eyes, and his aura goes into Jiren, freezing him. The two of them begin to glow.
Vegeta opens his eyes. "Omni-Purificatio-" Suddenly, he would have felt pain he hadn't ever felt before. He would be hurtling through space hundreds of times faster than light. He crashes through the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and finally Pluto.
He yells in agonizing pain, as he looks down to his chest. His eye sight would be blurry, but there'd be a big hole in his chest where his lungs used to be. He powers down, and the last thing he would sense is an evil, angelic energy.
He'd pass out.
He gasps, waking up in a dark area, chained to the walls. He takes a couple of minutes to wake up and take in his surroundings. His eyes widen, and he looks around. He grunts, as he begins pulling on the chains, but they wouldn't budge.
He yells, as he powers up to a Super Saiyan Blue, illuminating the place. He uses all of his force to try and break out, but the chains don't budge.
As the place gets illuminated by his form, he stops and notices an angel in the corner smirking at him. Upon closer inspection, it'd be Udos, Vados's evil counterpart. Vegeta yells at her. "LET ME GO, BITCH!"
Udos laughs and walks closer to him. "Why do you think you were sent flying through the Solar System, Vegeta...? I couldn't simply allow you to purify one of us..."
"He isn't one of you!" Vegeta yells. "You just converted him to your side, and we will get him back!"
Udos's smirk fades, as she walks over to Vegeta, taps his right arm, and it begins to twist in the most painful way possible. Vegeta yells in agony, as he feels his arm dislocate and break, twisting until his skin starts to rip.
"NGGH... YOU WILL DIE BY MY HANDS, YOU STUPID BITCH...!" Udos squints at him and touches his other arm, doing the same to it. "AGHHHH!"
"After I'm done torturing you, I'll convert you to our side," Udos says. "A warrior like you could be useful to us, especially with those angelic powers of yours..."
"I'd... rather die!" Vegeta says, panting. "No matter how many bones you break, you will never dampen a Saiyan's pride!"
Udos gives him a sour look. "That's enough out of you..." She taps his legs, and they start twisting the same way his arms did, except it would be more painful to him. His knee caps dislocate, and... well... that's enough details.
Days later, Goku would be in the Gravity Chamber, training in his base form at one million times gravity. He grunts, barely being able to swing punches. His entire body would ache, but he'd continue to push himself to his absolute limit.
On top of that, he'd have weights on his body to make it even more painful. He yells, swinging punches and kicks rapidly. "Vegeta... Wherever you are, I will... save you! I will get stronger and defeat the evil gods!"
