"Never settle on mediocrity or you'll never be as strong as a Super Duper Saiyan God Super Saiyan...2!" - Vegeta
Instinct
Krillin tumbles after getting knocked away by Vegeta and smashes into a palm tree face first with his arms spade out, unable to remove himself from it. Everyone else gets in their respective fighting stances while Gowasu starts recording live.
Hopp: Well, can't say you didn't stay true to your word on attacking the little guy first.
Vegeta: This whole training session is supposed to be a sparring match to build up your strength like we once have. You'll have plenty of time to show us just how capable you are against us...if you've even improved at all. But I should warn you…
Vegeta immediately transforms into his normal Super Saiyan Blue state; making sure to save it's his strongest form for last.
Vegeta: Kakarot and I have fought and defeated beings beyond that of the self-proclaimed Gods.
Hit: So you really did overcome the worst of odds with Jiren, have you?
Shin: Yes they have. Shame the Pride Trooper has to be the standard for pushing the limits now. Who would've thought he was once chosen to be a God of Destruction?
17: Yeah, even the Lorax guy turned into one in the middle of the fight.
Caulifla transforming into a Super Saiyan: Aw great…! So what other things did you hide from us since then? Maybe another transformation stronger than someone like Zeno himself?!
Tien: No, that would be ridiculous. All anyone did was drag the fight out for too many episodes. Not to mention Frieza taking Vegeta's place to beat Jiren with Goku.
Goku: Yep! He sure did help a lot once we beat that Good Ol' Pride Trooper Jelly! Now, who's gonna be fightin' me today? (Turns Super Saiyan Blue) I haven't hit so many people in forever!
17: You're not gonna turn into that Kaioken or Semi-Instinct like last time?
Goku: Nope! I wanna save that till someone reaches their peak! So if ya wanna do it, now's the time! (Holds hands together) Kame…!
Mai: I-Is he gonna…?!
Shin: Blow us to smithereens on the first try?
Goku: Hame…!
Shin bracing himself: Sure seems that way!
Goku shooting: HAAAAA!
Goku's Kamehameha wave hits the group in a huge fiery explosion, leaving only the fresh scent of burnt floor tiles until the smoke clears. Hit stands at the very front of the unphased fighters while he has his hands tucked in his pockets as though nothing happened. 17 lowers his arms after projecting a shield bubble around everyone.
Goku: Wow! So 17's still got the moves too! This is gonna be exciting!
Hopp getting on all fours: That does it, Goku! You're going to be my first nail filer of this episode! (Leaps forward)
Caulifla: Count me in! (Rockets forward)
The two ladies make their way towards the Saiyan warriors, who both use afterimage and get behind the duo to combine a beam attack! Quickly, Tien brings the heat with a Tri-Beam, pushing Goku and Vegeta away before they almost hit the fighters! Vegeta's first retaliation is taking a Destructo-Disk and flinging it at the triclops, which Majora leaps in front of and bites down on to shatter!
Majora: Jumping in head-first all the time isn't the wisest move.
Hopp: Damn, the feminine fox-guy has a point...
Vegeta: You want my advice? Bring the cannon fodder out first. Not that it'll help you because we won't tire out over them.
Tien: Cannon fodder, huh? Like that rock over there?
Vegeta: Actually, that's more like a boul- (Gets blasted by Tien) DEEEEEEER!
Vegeta goes flying into the huge stone by the Time Chamber! Goku faces Tien and gives him a firm thumbs up, but the master bows in disappointment.
Tien: You don't have to defend me. I already signed my death warrant the moment I spoke back. It's been an honor.
FLASH! Tien gets knocked all the way across the field, almost falling off the edge of the lookout when he lands! Kale transforms into a regular Super Saiyan while Caulifla goes straight to 2 at the drop of a hat. She attacks Goku with a swift kick to the stomach, but he grabs her leg and tosses her into Hopp, who's attempting to claw a defensive Vegeta. He simply keeps his guard up using his arms, blocking everyone's attacks for how minuscule they are. All Mai is able to do is shoot with a rifle at Vegeta's waist while those like Shin and 17 fair better, able to knock back Vegeta and Goku a peg. Shin's attacks are still very limited, but what he does is use his invisible ki attacks to keep the Saiyan confused, as he's more focused on fighting Kale and Caulifla. 17, on the other hand, lets Vegeta lower his guard so he can shoot barrages of ki blasts from his palms at him, smacking almost every single one except for the few, which he blocks with his arms. Hopp comes over towards Vegeta's back while he isn't looking at slashes at him with her extremely sharp claws, but she keeps missing like he isn't there. This is him using an Afterimage technique before he turns around for a moment and holds his hand towards her.
Hopp tightening her fists: No…!
Vegeta: Big Bang Attack!
Just as Vegeta shoots at Hopp, she's rescued when Krillin tosses a ki blast at Vegeta's attack! It deflects it and carries it up in the air where it sits for a moment as Shortie has his arms up.
Krillin: HAHA! Forgettin' someone, Saiyan Pride?! (Lowers arms) Yagh!
Krillin lowers his short arms down to the ground and releases a barrage of scattering energy balls from where his attack sat in the sky; this time amplified by Vegeta's own attack! One of the falling missiles slams directly at Vegeta's face while Hopp leaps out of the way of the explosions! The other blasts collide with the ground around the fighters; one of which nearly hits Goku on the side, giving Caulifla a chance to use a supercharged kick to his hip, bringing him down on one knee! The Saiyan attempts to knock down the younger one, but she just hops over the attack. Kale comes over with a much stronger ability in the form of a stronger Saiyan-level punch to Goku's cheek, which does cause him to budge, but barely enough to really scratch him now that he's in his strongest Blue state! His flex is enough to push Kale into the ground!
Caulifla charging forward: You'll pay for that, Goku! (Shoots red ki beam like a Kamehameha)
Goku takes one hand and holds the beam in place while shooting another from his other hand, knocking Caulifla into the sky! But suddenly, he senses something. Kakarot turns over to Tien, who's got a Tri-Beam locked and fully loaded just for him! Notably, it doesn't put a lot of stress on Tien's body this time, as though he's improved his abilities too!
Goku: Uh oh!
Tien: KIKOHO!
Tien's attack blows away Goku just before he could use Instant Transmission to get away! He lands near Vegeta, who's still standing unphased after the Scatter Kamehameha from Krillin.
Vegeta: Don't tell me you're getting soft already, Kakarot!
Goku scratching himself off: No way! I'm just gettin' started! (Pushes Super Saiyan Blue further) This is exciting!
Krillin: Oh man… I think I really should've kept my head in that tree...
Hopp: Well, give yourself some credit. You're braver than most to keep fighting. Even Bergamo's scarred from facing Goku.
Sorrel: Let's let the other Saya-people handle him. I'll take on Prince Vegetable!
Vegeta: Well, if it isn't Judy Hopps' long-lost cousin, Carrot. And just what do you plan to do against me, Doc? Get Elmer Fudd and tell him it's Saiyan Season? Ahahaha!
Sorrel: Jokes on you. I'm not the one who had his pride shattered live on TV by Mr. Strength is Absolute!
Kusu in the background: HA! Got 'im!
Vegeta's smile immediately flips upside down as he turns face to face with Sorrel.
Vegeta: I'm going to start beating you now. (Uses afterimage)
Sorrel jumping: Oh snap! (Gets punched in the back) GAK!
Sorrel gets sent far from Vegeta before he zooms to her and kicks her in the forehead, knocking her right into a pillar against the Lookout's Time Chamber!
Sorrel getting back up: ...You really are as big a dick as they say! You'd hit women! (Charges forward)
Sorrel and Hopp come in together against the Saiyan Prince, both getting their fists grabbed on both sides by him. He takes his palms and shoots both women away, with Hopp nearly falling off the edge of the lookout and Sorrel again getting knocked near the Time Chamber! This isn't enough to keep her down, however, as she takes a slingshot that shoots bolts of ki at Vegeta, yet neither blast even scratches him now that he's tapped into God-Level Energy.
Vegeta: You just won't stay down, will you?
Sorrel: Hey, I'm all about staying up!
Sorrel jumps near the entrance of the Time Chamber when Vegeta throws another punch, and she keeps shooting ki darts at him.
17: Hey, Veggietales, you might wanna duck.
Vegeta turning back behind him: What?!
17 somehow got behind Vegeta while he wasn't looking and takes a small ki blast while having a shield barrier around the both of them, using it to blow up Vegeta and encase the explosion! 17 managed to shake it off just fine, springing out of the shield with only scratches on his shirt. Whereas Vegeta now has visible blood marks on his back and forehead!
Vegeta: How?!
17: Guess that God-stuff really is just another gimmick to break an arm over, huh? (Raises an eyebrow)
Vegeta: You worm!
Vegeta's ki rises and 17 jets off calmly as his opponent chases him around the Lookout in flight! They soar underneath the structure, with Vegeta shooting at the young superhuman, only for much of his blasts to bounce off from his shields! Meanwhile, Goku's busy taking on the Saiyan girls and the Supreme Kai, with Tien, Bergamo, and Majora stepping in. Goku mimics Krillin's Destructo Disk and tosses a ki wave that slices everyone's energy beams! Shin, however, splits the energy balls in his hands and morphs them into ki blades like Zamasu's from before. Despite the clear power gap between the two, he manages to hold his own against Goku, at least for a while until he gets a direct punch to the nose, sending him through the Lookout from top to bottom!
Goku: Aw, com'on, Shin! I thought all Supreme Kai's were strong! That's what Gohan once told me!
Mai shooting at Goku: Yaaagh!
Goku squirming: AHAHAHAHA! Oh, that tickles!
Goku flies up to the air while Kale and Shin follow and try and attack at the same time. but Goku manipulates the energy in his palms to form sort of a ki whip, smacking them away. Kale stays in the air and transforms into a Super Saiyan 2, almost turning herself into a berserker for a split second out of annoyance. Before Goku could use the same energy he has to form a small Kamehameha, he is suddenly paused in the middle of a few seconds by Hit's Time Skipping ability. Only now, it's slowing his opponent down, not everyone around them. Both Mai and Kale take the opportunity to shoot at Goku together with a fully charged shot and a Saiyan 2-powered beam, only for him to break out of Hit's hold on him and briefly transform into his Blue Kaioken to push everyone away from him, but with lesser force and power.
Goku: Alright! That's more like it! For a minute there, I thought I'd actually get myself cut from all those shots! I ain't plannin' on changin' my gi for this again, or else Chi Chi's gonna kill me!
Vegeta still flying after 17: Oh great. You're using that Kaioken technique again? Think you can surpass me once more?! (Stops flying and powers up more)
Vegeta's hair starts turning into the royal blue of his ascended Super Saiyan Blue stage. He boosts himself right in front of 17, who for a second was far from Vegeta's reach. This doesn't scare the superhuman, however, and he just gets startled for a moment.
17: Oh wow. Another new form. What a surprise.
Vegeta: You won't defeat me like your sister once had, cyborg!
17: I'd say you're wrong, but the term "cyborg" is fairly debatable these days.
17 ducks underneath Vegeta's fist and rockets himself back up to the Lookout while the Saiyan prince chases him again. But before he could get to the floor of the structure, Hopp, still holding onto the edge, grabs a hold of his leg and shocks him!
Vegeta: What the...?!
Hopp: Got'cha!
Hopp uses the hand grabbing onto the edge of the floor to stab Vegeta's calf, but they don't pierce him all the way. Vegeta cringes and attempts to fly and shake Hopp off, who's now stuck on his calf muscle in a rather embarrassing display, much to Gowasu and Kusu's entertainment from a distance.
Gowasu: So it would seem that the Saiyan Prince is not as mighty as he once seemed.
Kusu: Definitely! Whis wasn't joking about him and Goku's silliness. Makes me wish I could see them more. And...aren't we forgetting something?
Gowasu: Oh! Right. (Removes earring)
Goku charging a small ki blast: Take this!
Gowasu: Goku, wait! Don't let them get killed! (Shows Potara Earring)
Goku: Oh, you're right! Kale, Caulifla, you can borrow Gowasu and Supreme Kai's Potara Earrings for another fusion!
Shin: Oh, so that's also why you've summoned me! But, fusions like these only last but an hour.
Kale: We could always save those for when we need them most, Caulifla…
Caulifla rising to the air: Mmmm… Nah! Let's just do it. It wouldn't hurt.
Kale: Yay!
Shin and Gowasu toss their earrings to the two ladies and they put them on to form Kefla once again! When they combine, a huge ball of light shines down on everyone, including Sorrel, who's still beaten and laying on the Time Chamber floor. Kefla immediately jets towards Goku, who multiplies his Kaiken 5x and blocks her incoming Cannonball Fist with both arms!
Goku: That power won't work now that I'm at Kaioken, Caulelfka!
Kefla tilting her head: What'd you call me...? (Gets kicked away) Gah!
Kefla is pushed further from Goku, but she takes both palms and charges a combined attack that she uses to make a massive ki beam, hitting the other Saiyan warrior and blasting him back down to the floor! This damages him greatly, as Goku isn't able to move for a second before he jumps just in time away from Kefla's incredibly fast stomp with raw power exploding from it! Vegeta notices this and shoots a small blast at Hopp's claws, severing them from his leg and letting her fall! He takes a multitude of rapid-fire bolts and aims at her, forcing the fusion to knock them all away simultaneously, getting faster and faster as they keep throwing her off from both sides! This tires her out for a second and Goku uses Instant Transmission to shoot a Kamehameha right to the stomach, sliding her across the Lookout!
Kefla: Eugh…(Wipes blood from face and grins) You weren't THIS strong in the tournament until you had that cheap ultra whatever! Well, we've got stronger too! (Gets back up) Check this out! (Transforms straight to Super Saiyan 2)
Goku: OH GOODIE! It's even stronger than last time! (Gets headbutted in the Dende) GHUU…!
Goku is sent right into the side of the building where the Time Chamber sits and Kefla gives chase as those like Mai, Tien, Shin, even Krillin get motivated.
Krillin: I'm probably gonna die, but I'm gonna try and get at least one shot at Goku for ol' time's sake! (Jets for battle)
Tien: May as well charge another Tri-Beam. That'll dent 'em! (Flys to combat)
Back where Hit, Majora, and Bergamo stand, they each give good observations, overlooking the players on the field. However, Bergamo still shakes nervously seeing Goku transform constantly.
Majora: Very impressive! But I fear even Kefla over there won't be enough to face Son Goku or Vegeta.
Bergamo: What do you know? You've never fought either of them! I've seen and matched their power. It's limitless! But she may have more of a chance than me at actually winning!
Majora: Not if she and the rest of us keep throwing everything away.
Hit nodding: He's right. I can tell they're slipping at every second.
Bergamo: What're you gonna do?
Majora: I must go as well. It's time for me to be a master. (Leaps forward to the battle)
Bergamo shaking his head: This is hopeless…(Leaps to the Time Chamber)
In the building's first layer made of stone, Goku and Vegeta battle the Ultra Army to a standstill, surprising and satisfying both of them!
Vegeta blocking Shin, Tien, and Krillin's attacks: Not bad for a false God and two upper beta-men. Perhaps you weren't as useless as I imagined…! (Shoots Double Galick Gun)
Tien hopping out of the way: Well, it's like I said before. F&!*k power levels. (Kicks Vegeta's arm)
Vegeta: Gah..! (Pulls self together) Tch! (Throws Ultra Ki punch at everyone)
Vegeta's punch does like hit and leaves a huge impact at a distance away from him, destroying much of the corridor leading to the Time Chamber and exposing the outside! Krillin uses his Destructo Disks to slice all the falling debris. But Vegeta himself comes over and does a direct kick to his stomach!
Krillin, unable to scream: aaaaah….
Vegeta: And to think, you could have killed me years ago while I was down! (Slams Krillin to the floor) How does that make you feel?
Krillin with his face planted to the floor: I feel like I'm gonna throw up…(Gets kicked away) Agh!
Krillin crashes on his dome next to 17, who's landing at the scene by Majora and Hit.
17: Oh, hey Baldi. Good to see ya.
Krillin flip turned upside down: You too...
Majora: The Legendary Assassin and I will handle this for now. (Starts to walk off) Oh, and one more thing, Krillin.
Krillin: Yeah? (Gets hit by shoe) Eek...! [Krillin Owned Count: 290] I deserved that...
Majora giggling: Hmhmhm. All is forgiven, my friend. (Looks towards Vegeta) So you're the Saiyan Prince named, Virginia.
Vegeta: That's Prince Vegeta, Ears. Did you not hear Cueball say it a second ago? And just what are you wearing? Are you some kind of ballet dancer or something?
Majora: Actually, yes. (Puts arms up) A very graceful one at that. (Starts stepping towards Vegeta)
Vegeta: Oh God. I'm dealing with Looney Toons. (Puts fists up and goes in for an attack)
Vegeta starts skipping back and forth to Majora attempting a swift blow to his face, only for Hit to suddenly appear in a Time Skip to Vegeta and throw his fist into his chest! For a moment, Vegeta is stunned, and Majora gets in front of him and does a nice clean spin kick to his cheek, knocking him right through a wall in front of Gowasu's camera view! This shocks the Grand Priest and the Zenos, watching from their realm.
Zenos: Ooooh!
Zeno 1: Vegeta's been knocked...
Zeno 2: The f%$k out!
Grand Priest: It seems these fighters from the tournament never truly had time to shine until now. And it looks like our champions are evenly matched with them. This also increases the chances of Ultra Instinct being unleashed again, should Son Goku or Prince Vegeta have mastered it.
Zeno 1: I'm rooting for Son Goku!
Zeno 2: And I'll be rooting for Vegeta-Sama!
Zeno Attendant 1: Do you know what this means?
Zeno Attendants: Yes! Place your bets everyone!
Grand Priest: All those in favor of Goku or Vegeta, cast your votes!
In the planet of the Kais back in Universe 7, the Elder Kai and Kibito watch from their viewing orb as the event plays out. Even the Grand Kai back in Other World views the scene with utter confusion as to who to choose. Though his first guess would be Goku, seeing as though he's always managed to achieve vast amounts of power in what feels like a few minutes. Back down at the fight, Kefla and Mai start blasting the crap out of Goku, but neither of their shots is enough to take the experienced fighter down. He takes his Kaiken and manipulates the aura around him to send shockwaves of ki at the two, which would likely kill Mai had it not been for her ki bullets slicing through them. Kefla hops over the waves and when Goku shoots a red and blue beam at her while she's still in the air, she takes her ki charged hand and grabs onto the attack itself, and flips from it, taking her fist and releasing an incredibly powerful blow to Goku's face that then shoots out another ki blast that blows him right through the Lookout from top to bottom!
Kefla: That's what ya get for playin' those games with Ultra Instinct, you loon! (Starts phasing in and out of Super Saiyan 2) What the..?
In one abrupt instance of rising God Ki, Goku roars a similar sound to when he achieved the omen of Ultra Instinct, but not quite as loud or powerful. A white aura shines from him for a brief second, boosting him back up to Kefla. His speed is near a level of the form he's trying to achieve again, and he uses it to his advantage to try and hit the Saiyan woman up close. But just before his punch could land, Hit gets in the way and grabs it.
Kefla: Woah..! Were you aiming at my cleavage?!
Hit: Your target is Vegeta now. I will deal with Son Goku myself.
Kefla: Hey, I was fine! I could take him! Then again, last time something like this happened, we got eliminated...Hm…(Hops towards a downed Vegeta)
Hit still holding Goku's fist: You may be nearing your final form, but it's not going to help you. Not when there aren't any rules. (Punches the opposite direction)
When Hit throws his punch a different corner from him, Goku immediately pulls his arm up and blocks the attack coming from his left with his eyes closed!
Goku grinning: Heehe! (Slings Hit into the air)
Hit spins into the ceiling, but when he does, his body phases right through it. This confuses Goku, but only long enough for him to realize that Hit's already using his Time Skip on him. He starts blocking attacks from just about every direction while Hit is shown standing far from him, observing his movements and actions, not blinking or breathing once.
Hit: …There!
Suddenly, Goku is struck right near his heart, temporarily keeping him stunned and in pain! He grabs onto his chest and backs off while Hit starts increasing the speed of his abilities, knocking the Saiyan back and forth like a pinball!
Hit: I don't always take pride in my work, but it seems my Time Skip is unbeatable now. Give up now!
Goku continues to get pummeled from all corners by Hit at speeds that even he can't fathom anymore, until abruptly, Goku's eyes briefly and he roars with his fists raised, somehow punching Hit out of his Time Skip at speeds like his own! Hit just shrugs it off by holding his chest with one hand. Hut he notices that Goku's eyes closely resemble his omen state of Ultra Instinct.
Goku: Ugh… (Shakes head) You almost did it, Hitman! Any more hits like that and my body's gonna go Ultra Phantom all over again!
Bergamo arrives next to Hit and powers up with whatever energy he can muster on his own, but with less enthusiasm than usual.
Goku: Oh! Bergamo! I haven't fought you in a long time! Wanna go for round two and see if you can beat me?
Bergamo: Sorry, butI'd rather be erased by my own God of Destruction than to be beaten by you again...
Goku: Aaw, com'on! Don't be like that! I'll even power down my attacks for ya till you get stronger!
Bergamo: ...That just sounds insulting. Baby steps.
Goku nodding: Exactly! Ya can't always go in head-first like I do. I just get real happy seeing strong guys, so I get carried away. Why don't we take this one step at a time and fight around your level? Then we'll amp things up a bit.
Bergamo: Well...when you put it like that. I still don't know if I can do this.
Hit: You won't know if you don't try. Come on, Bergamo.
Back with Vegeta, he's busy taking on everyone again, especially Majora and Kefla, getting hit a few times but always managing to get back on his feet pretty quickly. Almost all of Majora's movements are so smooth and easy to follow, yet so fast at the same time! He keeps smacking Vegeta in the face, leaving visible handprints on his forehead to the point where it turns red. Even at a powered-up Super Saiyan Blue to Ultra Blue, he's still being overwhelmed. Kefla's no help to him either, as she, at a Super Saiyan 2, is able to bring down the Prince himself! Shin and Tien come over to the group and Shin uses invisible energy of some sort from his eyes and palms to hold Vegeta down to his knees while Tien uses a fully charged Tri-Beam to do the same! Majora hops back and Kefla prepares a full-powered cannon blast thinking to lower Vegeta's current form down to at least a regular red Super Saiyan God.
Vegeta: Gr..! Tch..! Oh no! I, a warrior who single-handedly defeated a God of Destruction, am about to be brought down by mere low-class fighters! Whatever shall I- JK. (Boosts back up and erupts)
Vegeta's power up into the absolute peak of Ultra Blue's transformation blows almost everyone away, but Kefla shoots her attack anyway at the prideful prince, and he shoots an equally charged Final Flash at her, with the base of the beam colliding with Kefla's while the rest travels from the Lookout to space! The fusion keeps the attack at bay as the rest of the structure shakes and crumbles! Seeing this, Bergamo attempts to mimic Vegeta's style and shoot a Danger Beam at Goku, forcing him to dodge from it. But this gives Hit a chance to Time Jump right in front of him and deliver a kick to his hip, tripping him right into the beam! This, unfortunately, wasn't enough to damage him. Bergamo gets surprised, and he's quickly blasted away by one ki blast from Goku, yet while he's falling, he stretches his hand out for another blast that sends the one he took directly back at Goku, blowing a hole in his gi!
Goku: No! My bae's gonna murder me when I get back!
Hit elbows Goku right into the floor, but he flips over and uses both feet on Hit's stomach, kicking him away! He uses his Time Skip again, throwing hands from all around Goku, only for him to hop past them all and start fighting within the skip! He blows Hit into the wall and breaks the ability, when behind him, Bergamo attempts a fully charged ki beam that only scratches more of Goku's clothes. This forces him back into his Kaioken Blue technique and starts wailing on the poor wolf yet again even harder, seemingly phasing into the omen of Ultra Instinct and losing his mind. He starts beating Bergamo's face against the floor with a straight face not able to let go of his seemingly mindless state. But Majora immediately comes over and does a flying heel kick to Goku's forehead, knocking him out of whatever he's feeling! 17 also returns smashing right into Goku with his shield barrier, still causing him to stumble backward as he's reverting back to normal.
Goku holding his forehead: Ouch…! Guess I do need to watch what my body does! (Looks at Bergamo's buried face) Bergamo? You ok?
Bergamo with his face under rubble: …
17: I think you did a number on him, Son.
Majora: Let me revive him.
Goku: K! (Flies off to other fighters)
Vegeta and Kefla's beams continue to clash, but Kefla's last-ditch effort starts dwindling down.
Kefla: Tch..! Rrr..! I, refuse, TO LOSE!
Kefla suddenly ups her own power and increases the size of her beam to that of Vegeta's! He gets surprised, and he quickly becomes overwhelmed by its sheer force! To save himself, he blows a hole in the ground with one hand and barely makes it into it as the attack starts tearing him up! It travels past the atmosphere of the planet to a distant moon, completely destroying it! With the beam struggle is over, Kefla looks at the Saiyan Prince and notices that he still managed to hold onto his current form, but just barely after how devastating that last blast was. He keeps phasing in and out of Ultra Blue to regular Blue while twitching from the amount of pain he's in.
Vegeta struggling to stand: Tch..! Erugh..! (Grins)
Kefla: What's wrong? Ya lost your marbles?! (Starts defusing) Wha..?!
Kefla immediately defuses back into Caulifla and Kale from a loss of power!
Kale: !
Caulifla: Agh! Wha...What just happened?!
Vegeta: Your potara's just ran out of energy from that last blast! (Charges Galick Gun) Which means..! (Shoots at the duo)
Caulifla and Kale getting blasted away: AAAGH! (Crashes into Lookout entrance)
Both Saiyans crash in a fiery explosion by the entrance of the Lookout, beaten and broken in the crater they made!
Kale: I-I don't really understand. How did we lose so much power for our fusion..?
Caulifla: That was our strongest ki-blast. We might've drained all the power we needed to keep the fusion for an hour…
Vegeta stepping forward: Ah. Fast learner. (Holds hand out) Don't worry. I assure you, neither of these attacks will kill you. But you'll wish they did. (Shoots)
Before the attack could strike at the two, Hit immediately senses it and uses his Time Skip from the position he's in against the wall to zoom over to Vegeta and knock one of his legs down, throwing off his beam and sending it to the sky! Vegeta breaks through his Time Skip and forces a full-powered Ultra Blue punch right into Hit's abdomen! Through the pain, he takes his arms and wraps them around Vegeta's, tossing him right into the Time Chamber where he crashes into the pillars!
Kale: Wow Hit! How were you able to take a direct blow from that?!
Hit: Experience. (Spits out blood)
Caulifla: That beat down you got from Jiren must've really rubbed off on ya, huh?
Vegeta slowly rising: OH! So you've improved your abilities too? For once, I admit, this was actually worth it!
Sorrel from a distance: Ahem!
Vegeta turning around: What...?
Behind Vegeta stands Sorrel, back on her feet after the beat down she received from him.
Vegeta: Ohahahaha! It's you again? And just what do you plan on doing to me now?
Hopp suddenly comes over and hops on Vegeta's head and flips to Sorrel, landing perfectly next to her.
Hopp: Hey, Vegetable! Remember that time you kicked me in the tournament?! Well here's my retort! (Holds Sorrel like a football) HOP GUN! (Spins and throws Sorrel at mach speed)
Sorrel flying: YEE!
Sorrel headbutts Vegeta at full speed in the gut before he could get up from the floor and sends him flying through the door to the Time Chamber! Before he could land, he takes a small ki blast and shoots it at her, but Hopp jumps in front of her and deflects it with a Volleyball Uppercut, hitting Vegeta and causing an explosion from outside the Time Chamber that almost completely destroys the front door! The smoke clears, and Vegeta had managed to tank the shot with his guard up, feeling mildly annoyed by this. But before he could react with a Galick Gun, he looks at the damages and begins to smile.
Vegeta beginning to laugh: Pfft...Pahahahaha!
Sorrel: Alright! Thanks for the save, buddy!
Hopp: Yeah! I knew we'd show that Widow's Peak who's… Uh...
Sorrel: Yeah?
Hopp: Where's the door?
Sorrel: Hopp, whaddya mean? It's right there.
Hopp: Then, why can't we see anything back outside?!
Sorrel: ...Oh shit...
Goku proceeds to decimate everyone he fights. Tien with one chop to his back, Krillin again with a punch to where his nose should be [Krillin Owned Count: 291], Mai, getting light pinch in the arm that causes her to faint, and Shin flung around by the mohawk. Eventually, Goku's met with Caulifla, Hit, and Kale for round two.
Goku: Not good! At this rate, they'll be no more fighters left! Only 17, Hit, and Majora were enough to bring us down! Even Kefla's gone! But, maybe even without the fusion, Kale and Caulifla could still do a lot on me!
Caulifla: Hey Goku, you still didn't fight us to get to your level like you should've!
Goku: Aw, and I was hoping everyone else would last a lot longer. But I think even without your fusion, you can still power up even further! Maybe even to a Super Saiyan 3! But first, you've gotta keep your mind tapped into the power of God Ki!
Caulifla powering back to a Super Saiyan: Bring it on, martial artist!
Kale and Caulifla start transforming while Hit stands behind them, watching over the two. Meanwhile, Majora resuscitates Bergamo while 17 gives him a boost of energy to get his strength back.
Bergamo: Ugh…(Holds forehead) Why did you do that? I was gonna end up in that position again anyway!
17: Well, so much for bein' a team player. (Walks off) That's my cue to leave.
Majora: You're still upset about the Tournament of Power, aren't you?
Bergamo: ...Yes. It's the first time I think anything has truly broken me. All I've gained from it is the thought that I'm among the weakest of the multiverse...and I led them to their destruction. I can't thank 17 enough for restoring us back to life. But...now I wonder if we were even worth a damn to begin with. (Falls on knees) We're an embarrassment. Even if we were to get stronger, we'll just be shoved to the side and used as a plaything by the Omni Kings who'd care less about either of us because we're weaker than Goku and everyone in his universe. What's the point of continuing if we're ultimately useless? Besides, Son Goku and Vegeta don't need us. They can protect the multiverse themselves. We're all weaker than them, both before and now.
Majora: Perhaps you were. Maybe the Gods did treat us like pawns.
Bergamo: Yeah. That's an understatement in hindsight. After all the respect I gave them...
Majora leaning close to Bergamo's face: But they're not back here, are they?
Bergamo: ...No.
Kale throwin' hands: We're still able to take you on, Goku!
Goku blocking the attacks: Oh yeah? We'll see about that! I'll give you two the absolute strongest attack I can dish out right now! The strongest Kamehameha you'll ever see before Ultra Instinct comes back!
Caulifla: It didn't work before, so whaddya think it's gonna do now?
Goku: I dunno! But it's sure to knock you guys silly if you don't act now! (Puts hands together and charges a ki blast) One more slip up, and you'll be walkin' around smellin' like snacks! KA-ME…!
Majora: Bergamo, I'm not entirely intimate with Universe 7 or 6 to know how things were for Goku or Vegeta. However, I can tell they too have had their times of humiliation and defeat. But like them, neither of the ones here have ever let up.
Goku: HA-ME...!
Bergamo starting to tear up: I just...I just wanted to save everyone and stop all this from happening, and I've failed…
Majora: And yet, you stand before me. The one who defeated you saw your potential when the Gods could not. What matters now is if you're willing to act upon it. Failure hurts, yes. Even I've had my fair share of mistakes. But it is only temporary unless you let it consume you.
Goku: HAAAAAA!
Goku fires his strongest Kamehameha at Kale and Caulifla and they hold the beam as much as they can, but it overwhelms them and pushes them out of the air! The beam travels down towards Bergamo and Majora, who still keep talking not realizing what's coming!
Majora: That is failure's greatest lesson. Opposites of Goku like Hit and your teammates could improve from their shortcomings. Prove the Gods, and especially the Omni Kings wrong in their judgment of mortals. And you can too. Also, DODGE!
Majora pushes Bergamo onto his back moments before the beam can collide!
BANG!
As soon as the beam collides with Majora, blocking the part of the beam where the absolute power of it comes from, an incredibly large explosion goes off and blows a large hole through the Lookout, exposing the inner workings of a gargantuan laboratory and its massive machinery under the ruined Time Chamber! Everyone is either pushed away or buried under rubble. Krillin gets up from underneath a fallen stone wall with Mai protected by Shin while Gowasu and his camera are shielded by Kusu.
Kusu: And that's what the lookout was made for.
Grand Priest observing from his monitor: Son Goku had just released his strongest attack! And Vegeta is still in the game!
Elder Kai shaking his orb: That still doesn't tell us who has Ultra Instinct or not!
Kibito: I thought the Prince had achieved it for a moment. And Goku was incredibly close to reaching the pinnacle of his power!
Grand Kai: Bubbles, your bets're on Goku still, right?
Bubbles: (Monkey Noises)
Grand Kai: Yep. 50 bucks say he gonna get it.
Vegeta rises from the hole that Goku made in the Lookout with Ultra Blue still activated, now appearing much shinier with even darker hair.
Vegeta: Kakarot, are you trying to have us all killed?!
Goku descending back to Geets: No way, Geets! That attack was supposed to take out Kale and Caulifla. Not destroy everything! And besides, everyone's ok. (Points to Bergamo and a buried Majora) See. Wait...
Bergamo hastily removes the rubble from off of Majora's body, revealing his torn clothes and blood coming out his mouth.
Goku: Oh no!
As Goku makes his way to the fallen warrior, time abruptly slows to a crawl for Bergamo holding Majora. In a flash, his years as leader of the Trio de Danger plays in his vision before being confronted with the image of the Omni Kings staring him down before a large crowd of deities.
Vision Zenos: Your universe is a garbage dump. You're the weakest in the multiverse.
Vision Grand Priest: You simply lack the strength to fight a warrior such as Son Goku.
Bergamo: ...I'm not trying to fight.
A heavenly white aura begins to form around the wolfman to the shock of everyone around him.
Bergamo: I'm here to save a life.
The many visions surrounding Bergamo screech and burst into atoms from the strength of his ki, expanding into reality.
Vegeta turning towards Bergamo: Wha...What is this..?
Kale raising her head from the floor: Is he..?
Caulifla: I...I dunno…
Kusu smiling openly: He did it. (Gets closer) It's time!
By the time Goku arrived to Bergamo, he froze seeing the same oozy flow of ki of his own Ultra Instinct being poured out of the anthro and onto Majora. A bolt of divine light strikes the two, pushing the Saiyan back from the shockwave that encompasses the entire lookout! From outer space, it looks like another explosion, which, on all the spectators' ends, is so strong that their signals go out immediately!
Grand Kai lifting his TV: NO! What happened?! Did that furry just blow himself up, Namek style?!
Zenos and even the Grand Priest and Attendants: NANI NANI NANI?!
Elder Kai and Kibito: HUUUUUH?!
The stream pops back online, and as the smoke and light dim down, Bergamo's figure holds Majora in an intense aura that completely engulfs them. Even those around the arena are covered in this same ki, absorbing its energy for but a second, even startling the stoic Hit and making him stutter his eyes in amazement. Soon, the waves of the blast stop booming and Majora, completely restored, awakens at the sight of the man cradling him in his arms.
Krillin: Hoo WOW! My head feels better! Either my head cream is kickin' in, or that's some miracle cure!
Mai: I...I don't know what I'm feeling, but it feels great…! Not even Trunks can make me feel this good when...I won't say it.
Vegeta: No… (Grits teeth) That didn't happen… This was supposed to be MY time to shine…! (Smirks) Then again...this means Kakarot's been surpassed as well.
Bergamo's eyes open slowly, shining with a clear silver iris like the Angels and Goku at his absolute peak. His ascension has been completed. Ultra Instinct is now his own.
Vegeta: This could be worth my time after all...
