Akane beach resort

Goku along with Natsu and the others had just arrived on the Akane beach front to start their three-month training for the grand magic games.

While Natsu, Erza and the others had started their individual training after Goku, Natsu, and Gray had a series of contests which Goku had won every time.

Goku then walked to a secluded area which was adorned with some sand and grass areas followed by a couple of palm trees.

"Oh yeah! This spot is perfect."

Goku then took a deep breath as he then went super saiyan as he then closed his eyes.

After opening his eyes again his black pupils had refocused themselves only to see past enemies reappear before him.

Standing before him was Cell, Majin Buu, Turles, Cooler, Android 13, Frieza but standing behind all of them was the one person who had pushed him to his limits in the tournament of power; Jiren.

Goku smirked as he assumed his fighting stance as all the mental villains rushed him.

Cell and Buu rushed him right away with a tag team assault of punches and kicks however Goku delivered a single strike to the mental cell and he disappeared into nothing.

Majin Buu then rushed Goku for his own attack only for Goku to do a Kiai with his right hand destroying the mental clone.

Turles,13, and cooler all rushed the saiyan only for Goku to teleport and take out all three mental fakes in an instant.

After they were disposed of only three were remaining ; Goku, Frieza, and Jiren.

Goku then powered up as he changed from super saiyan to super saiyan blue in an instant.

Outside goku's mind

Natsu, after doing some of his own training but then decided to go for a walk until he saw Goku doing some kicks and punches to the air with his eyes closed and his hair, was blue.

"Hey, Goku."

Goku who was still inside his own mind didn't hear natsu which caused the young fire dragon slayer to approach goku to try and get his attention.

"Hey,goku! Can you hear me?"

Not getting a response from him natsu approached him only to receive a solid punch to his face which sent him reeling back.

Sensing that his fist didn't connect with air that time goku opened his eyes as his hair went back to black as he opened his eyes.

"Oh hey natsu. Why are you on the ground?"

Natsu got right back up holding the side of his face.

"Don't 'hey' me goku! You sucker punched me!"

Goku looked at his fist then at natsu's swollen cheek before he smiled and rubbed his hand on the back of his head.

"Sorry bout that natsu I was training and didn't notice you."

Natsu got up and rubbed his cheek.

Goku then got an idea as a light bulb went off in his head.

"Hey natsu, how about we spar?"

This question caused the pink headed dragon slayer to have a look of excitement on his face as he had a toothy grin on his face.

"Sure Goku. I'm fired up now!"

"Yeah that's the spirit natsu."

Both guildmates assumed their signature fighting stances as they were about to clash.

The wind blew as it stirred up some sand then in an instant both natsu and goku were off as they went at each other head on.

Both Goku and Natsu began to exchange blows between each other.

Natsu went for a right hook to goku's face but the saiyan caught his punch and went for one of his own except natsu was able to duck as he lit his foot ablaze.

"Fire Dragon Talon!"

The hit connected with the side of goku's face as he stumbled a bit letting go of natsu which gave the dragon slayer the opening he needed.

"Perfect."

Natsu then lit both hands ablaze as he rushed goku.

"Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist!"

Natsu then began to rapidly punch goku with his hands ablaze as a fiery explosion happened after each contact.

Goku was getting rocked after each shot but he then smiled as he grabbed both of natsu's fists stopping the barrage.

"Not bad natsu but you'll need more than that… to take me down."

Goku then kneed natsu on his chin causing the dragon slayer to stumble as goku kicked him in the stomach sending him back into a tree.

Goku then took a stance similar to a football player as he then rushed natsu with a solid elbow which blasted him away. He then followed the elbow up with a flurry of kicks before he connected with a solid heavy punch to natsu's stomach. With natsu stunned goku then jumped up and fired a kamehameha down on natsu.

Unfortunately the spar between the two of them wasn't going unnoticed by the other members of natsu's team and other civilians in the area.

A strong wind was kick up sand and blowing away rocks in the area.

Lucy covered her face as to avoid getting sand in her eyes as did everyone else.

"Man what's going on?"

Erza looked around and saw that goku and natsu were missing so that left her with only one conclusion.

"It seems that Goku and Natsu are going at it."

Gray just scoffed.

"Man don't those two know about moderation?"

Wendy just smiled while carla rubbed her temples with her paw.

"Honestly those two boys don't know anything other than fighting?"

Goku and Natsu's brawl continued as natsu recovered from goku's kamehameha only to see his saiyan guild mate smile.

"Come on Natsu is that all you got?"

Natsu just flashed a toothy grin as he cracked his knuckles.

"Nah goku in fact fighting you has got me even more fired up than before!"

Both fighters smiled as they assumed their fighting stances.

Natsu then rushed goku before he stopped a couple feet in front of Goku confusing the saiyan.

Natsu smiled as fire began to surround his body as the entire area was getting hot.

"Fire Dragon Roasting Bath!"

The entire began to heat up.

Goku dashed towards natsu only for the saiyan to slip up and land on his ass.

Goku looked down to see that the sand was turned to glass.

"Woah. Hehe not bad natsu."

Natsu then rushed goku with the same barrage strike only for goku to dodge only for natsu going in for a different move.

"Fire Dragon Grip Strike!"

To goku's surprise natsu then grabbed him with one hand then reared his other hand blasted him with fire point blank.

Letting go natsu jumped over goku as his body began to come to life as he was engulfed with a pillar of fire and lightning.

"I'm putting everything into this one!"

Natsu's cheeks then began to swell with power as he let it out in one strike.

"Lightning Flame Dragon Roar!"

The blast of fire and lightning was coming towards goku.

Goku then crossed his arms before bringing them to his sides and letting out a shout and his body was covered in a bright yellow glow as there was an explosion then a smoke screen.

Looking around for his guildmate in the smokescreen natsu saw bolts of lightning as goku was covered in a yellow glow as his normal short black hair was now spiky and yellow as it reached towards the bottom of his back.

Natsu eyes had gone wide as his pupils had dilated in either fear or surprise at goku's current state.

"G-Goku what is that?"

Goku just stared at natsu as he was serious like natsu had never seen him.

"This is thanks to you natsu. You're the first person to push me to use this form."

Goku's deep voice shook natsu making him shake.

Goku then disappeared in an instant as he then teleported behind natsu and kicked him in the back of the neck which knocked Natsu out.

Catching his comrade Goku gently set Natsu down on the beach as he then depowered out of super saiyan three.

Goku then shook natsu a couple times before the dragon slayer woke up.

"Hey,Natsu wake up."

The dragonslayers' eyes opened looking up at goku who was smiling as the saiyan helped him to his feet.

"Wow Natsu that was fun. You almost had me too."

Natsu just chuckled before his eyes became a down cast.

This caused Goku to look at him confused.

"What's wrong?"

Natsu took a seat on rock as his face was in his hands.

"I couldn't… We couldn't beat acnologia or even damage him. Do you what its like to be a dragon slayer and not be able to beat an enemy with a magic that was made to beat them?"

Goku thought about it and he knew what he was talking about in a way.

During the Tournament of Power when it was just him and Jiren fighting at their fullest; Master Ultra Instinct vs Jiren at his full strength and even after all that he didn't beat him.

Goku then smiled at his friend.

"So what?"

This caused natsu to look up.

"What do you mean?"

"I said so what natsu you lost once that doesn't mean it's over all it means is that you've got to get stronger and face him again."

Then goku got an idea as his face lit up.

"Hold on."

Natsu looked at Goku in confusion before goku powered up again except this time goku was now covered in a reddish-orange fiery aura.

Nastu could've swore goku was on fire.

Goku then opened his palm as a sphere red-orange ki appeared in his palm as he pushed it to natsu.

Catching the sphere in question Natsu couldn't help but feel drawn to it as the ki sphere wisped around in his hand a couple times before calming down but it was still a sight for natsu's eyes.

"What is it I've never seen anything, like this before."

Goku just chuckled at his confusion.

"Don't worry about it. You want to protect your friends from foes like Acnologia and this guy called Zeref. This will give you the power you need to protect your friends."

Seeing no error with Goku's words Natsu immediately consumed the entire ball of god ki without a second thought.

After eating the entire thing natsu checked his body but he didn't feel or look different but Goku managed to reassure natsu.

"Yeah you won't notice any changes but think of it like this… when you need the power most it will be there for you it was for me when I first used it."

Goku then smiled as did natsu as the two were about to have a rematch until footsteps cut them both off.

"I couldn't agree more with your statement Goku."

Turning around both of them were greeted by a tall, thin humanoid with pale blue skin, white hair, violet eyes, and rather effeminate features. He was holding a long scepter with a gem that floated above it, in his right hand. Around his neck was a large light blue ring. His attire consisted of a maroon robe, a black cuirass with the same white and orange diamond decorations as Beerus, and a blue sash. He also wore black high-heeled shoes with white spats.

Natsu looked at the new arrival with confusion while goku was happy to see him.

"Hey Whis,good to see ya."

Whis had a small smirk on his face as he addressed the saiyan.

"The feeling is mutual goku."

Natsu kept looking at the stranger with a confused look on his face as he had so many questions.

Whis then approached Natsu.

"Well, it is you I almost didn't recognize you but there's no mistaking it you are definitely Igneel's boy and you've grown up too. You must have girls chasing after you."

Goku then rubbed the back of his head in confusion as he was now unsure of why whis was here.

"Not to cut the reunion short whis but why are you here?"

"Yeah I'm with goku why are you here Whisky?"

Ignoring natsu getting his name wrong the angel answered with a smile on his face.

"I'm here to train you for the grand magic games of course."

Goku and Natsu were surprised and right on que everyone else showed up and they had no idea what they were going to be in for.
