After dropping some power ranger looking guy who actually forced me to use super saiyan 2, we decided to sit and rest for a little bit. Our rest was interrupted before long though, by energy beams coming from seemingly nowhere; we narrowly avoided a lot, but we couldn't keep this up for long.
"Hold on guys, I have an idea." Stryker held out his hand to both of us and our souls became orange. "As long as we keep moving, the blasts can't hurt us. Let's go and find who's causing this." We nodded and ran off; just as Stryker had said, the blasts were going through us like we weren't even there. We looked around and saw one of the blasts ricochet from a glass like sphere, I jumped and saw where it originally jumped from and indicated the others to follow me. We jumped from sphere to sphere, until we saw the source of the blasts... being taken out by one of the universe 7 humans, then we looked to our right to see the source of the spheres, a big maroon blob guy and he was being dominated by Goku and Vegeta.
"Guess that story arc was short lived." Stryker said this as he turned our souls back to normal. We walked on, not really having many challenges, however, not long after the sniper dilema, we felt an enormous surge and concentration of energy. We looked up over the rubble to see Goku forming an enormous ball of energy, but it seemed to be fueled by his teammates. We looked at the target, and it appeared to be Jiren who was just standing there and letting him charge it. We decided to take a seat, a very safe seat, and watch the spectacle unfold. Once the move was done, he launched it at Jiren while shouting.
"This is the power of Universe 7's spirit bomb!" It looked like the attack hit, but it slowly began to rise up, and we saw Jiren lifting it with one hand and pushing back almost effortlessly. Goku powered up to his blue super saiyan state and pushed it back, but Jiren decided to use 2 hands and push it back faster. We heard Goku say kaio-something, then his aura became an overlapping blue and red, pushing the spirit bomb to the middle, creating a stalemate, but the thing began to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger, but then, it just collapsed and essentially became a black hole, pulling a ton of things in. Stryker anchored our souls to the ground by turning them purple and prevented us from flying away. Once the light went away, we saw everything was mostly the same, but Goku was nowhere to be found; we couldn't sense his energy, nor his soul. However, not long after, we felt the very world of void shake, and a pillar of light emerged from the crater caused by the spirit bomb, and within that crater stood Goku, but there was something different about him. He looked at Jiren with silver, glaring eyes, he seemed to be in his base form, but we could sense an incredible power emanating from him as well as an intense heat.
"Oh this is gonna be good. Guys, I think we can sit down and rest for a while to watch this unfold." They agreed with me, we sat down and Stryker produced a minor shield just in case. It all began with one step, and suddenly, Goku was right on top of Jiren before we could bother to track his movements. The battle began with Jiren throwing a punch, but it seemed like Goku dodged it without even thinking; they jumped back into the crater while Mr. Moustache and the guy who looked like 2 of the gods of destruction slid down the crater to attack Goku, but as they approached him, he lifted his arms, caught them and threw them away.
"Man, I wish I had some popcorn right now! This is amazing!" Cellio looked like he was about to be overwhelmed with excitement." We watched on as it seemed like Goku was casually walking away from a justice flash barrage, well, maybe it wasn't the new form, maybe Mr. Moustache was just bad at aiming. Jiren put a stop to his teammates "help" in order to deal with it himself. Goku began to unleash a barrage of attacks on Jiren, but in a few brief flashes, we saw that Jiren was actively making an effort to block. We heard the Zenos freaking out, and so were the gods, after a little, one of them revealed what we were witnessing, Goku's god of destruction.
"Ultra Instinct" We saw all the other gods turn to Goku in amazement and shock at what power he displayed. The fight was heating up, both figuratively and literally due to Goku. We heard him let out the first sound ever in that form, a primal war cry, he fired a powerful blue energy beam at Jiren, jumped away and launched towards him in one final attack; however, in that moment, Goku used up all his gas while Jiren caught his fist.
"This heat, that is your limit." He then shot Goku away in a fiery energy blast and returned to meditating." The entire arena was in a state of silence after the epic battle, but it didn't last long as people went back to fighting, albeit cautious of Jiren. We surveyed the area, when we saw two guys who looked like Zoltris, we overheard their conversation and found their names being Frieza and Frost, however, they held a short lived alliance as Frieza shot Frost out of the arena after they buffed up; Frost in the stands was about to blast him for revenge, but was erased on the spot for attempting to do outside interference. We saw that afterwards, Frieza helped out his other teammate who I could feel was half saiyan, then they went separate ways. We snuck through all the rubble to survey the fights and study movements, when we heard yelling from, what seemed like Cabba. We peeked through the rocks to see him fighting some balloon girl, however, we felt his power begin to spike and his hair was turning super, but we knew that this was beyond super saiyan, he broke past his limits and went super saiyan 2 just like us; she stood no chance afterwards and was eliminated by something that seemed extremely similar to my Nova Blast, but not. His victory was short lived as we saw him get challenged by Frieza, I wanted to jump in, but Cellio stopped me.
"This isn't our battle, let them go." I resisted and watched as Frieza toyed with him, even when he went super 2, Frieza countered by becoming gold, skyrocketing his power and launching him out of the arena. I stood up, looked at Cabba in the stands and gave him a thumbs up for respect, he saw me and smiled, knowing he had support. We didn't get far before we were ambushed by multiple universe 2 people, some old guy, a big pinhead, a dude with a gem on his head and a purple big headed guy.
"You three have eliminated our maidens and now will pay the price for their love and beauty!" The big guy spoke out, while the three of us just stood there, back to back. Every move we made, they watched us and prepared; we couldn't really do anything, but we didn't need to worry, we were just playing an act. Stryker spoke to us in a whisper, just loud enough for the two of us to hear.
"Both of you, on the floor, now." We instantly dropped down and heard the sound of multiple soul changes; we looked up to see all four of them, linked together with purple string emanating from their souls and Stryker as the puppet master. Stryker jumped out of the circle and began to kick every one of them individually in the back, slamming them all into each other. We heard the souls deactivate and we jumped up and out of the circle of knocked out competitors.
"Nice job man, didn't think you could affect so many at once." I fist bumped him.
"Yeah, me either, guess I've just got an overload." Suddenly, by the look on Stryker and Cellio's faces, I could tell that they also felt an out of control power be contained, yet still remain strong. "Hey, I think you guys would find a much better fight over there." He pointed to where Goku and the two saiyan girls were; from the looks of it, Goku was in super saiyan 2, but extremely tired and unable to fight at his fullest. We then saw Kale seem like she was in her bulky green super saiyan form, but she was completely controlled and fully powered, which made us believe she was the source of the random power sense. I turned to Stryker before leaving.
"You sure you can handle yourself without us?"
"Ummmm, I think you should be more worried if the tournament can handle me, more than if I can handle the tournament." I grinned.
"As smug as ever. Alright, we'll be back." The two of us ran over, went super saiyan and blocked a punch from each of the girls; I blocked Caulifla while Cellio blocked Kale. "You know, it's not fair ganging up on someone who's tired."
"Yeah, what's the fun in that? Give him some time." They each pulled back and looked at us with essential death stares. I looked back at Goku, who seemed greatful for the save.
"You go on and get more rest, we've got this."
"Hey, thanks. Didn't think another universe would help except Hit." He began to run off and Caulifla went after him, but I jumped in front of her and kicked her back. "Your fight is with us, two on two seems much fairer don't you think?"
"Tch, fine. We'll destroy you, then we'll go after the old man." She powered up while in super saiyan 2 as well as Kale in her own state; Cellio and I looked at each other and just stayed regular super saiyan. They charged at us and began to coordinate attacks in order to separate us, but we've been doing this for far longer, and just used their own attacks to our advantage; we let them separate us, only to easily overpower them and kick them into each other with more distance to build up momentum. The two of us walked over to them just sitting on the ground, but they caught us off guard and blasted us, forcing us to block and lose sight of them.
"On your guard Cher, sense as much energy as you can."
"Yeah, we can't let their coordination beat our own." I looked to my left, only to feel two powers about to rush us, but I knew Cellio felt it too, and in almost perfect synchronization, we each kicked out to one side and caught both of them. Even just our basic super saiyan strength was far too much for them, and they seemed to know it. They both jumped back, battered, but they talked to each other.
"S-sis, do you think that we should do that?"
"I-it's the only way Kale, we have to. Hey! you two had better prepare yourselves! We're done going easy!"
"That's fine hon, so are we." I said this with a sneer. She gave me a death glare and suddenly, both of them then pulled out an earring with a green bead, and I knew exactly what they were going to do. They each clipped on an earring and fused together in a brilliant flash of green light. When we could see again, we saw a taller girl with, what seemed kinda like a yoga outfit, but with golden wrist and leg braces, she also had, essentially Caulifla's hair, but with Kale's polytail, and the face was a perfect mixture of the two. Then, she talked.
"So, Kale and Caulifla fused to create me. Guess that makes me Kefla. This is the end of the line for you boys." She inhaled and powered up, not even revealing her aura, and already she matched our super saiyan strength, possibly even stronger. I looked at Cellio, kind of worried, but realized we had our own trump card, and by the calm look on his face, he knew it before I did.
"Wait a second Kefla, if we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this fusion versus fusion."
"Fine, do what you want, you still won't beat us." The two of us powered down and locked fists together, then the familiar white flash engulfed us, and Cellerik was born once again.
"Man, it feels good to be back, even though I was only gone for a few days. Well well, hello there Kefla, I don't believe we've ever met; my name is Cellerik, and soon, you won't ever forget it." We got into a battle pose and so did she, we each powered up, but almost instantly we felt her power be twice as strong as ours, so we had to play it safe in the beginning. We shot forward to try and speed blitz her, but there was no avail, she dodged everything, not once did we even land a scratch. We backflipped before she could kick us and shot an energy blast, but nothing happened except a deflection. She lunged to where we were and kneed us right in the stomach, then kicked us down into the ground.
"Oh come on! Is this all you have to show? What happened to all that big talk you were spouting off? Guess every other saiyan is weak compared to us." The pain we were feeling, along with all the emotions made our fusion begin to waver.
"Cellio, concentrate. We can't lose synchronization now."
"Sorry, I just got a little heated."
"It's fine, we'll just go super saiyan, then she won't have a chance."
"But what if she does it too?"
"We have 3 more levels. Don't worry, we've got this." We stabilized our fusion and stood up to face her, with a little effort.
"Ohhh, looks like you can still fight. What, do you like the pain?"
"I don't know. What about you?" We went super and shot forward before she could even process what was going on. We hit her in the face and landed multiple abdomen punches, followed by a knee to the chin and a kick down to the ground. We charged an energy blast to finish it, but once we fired, we found it blasted back at us by a green beam of energy. We looked and saw Kefla in, what seemed to be Kale's green super saiyan form, and the worse part, it wasn't a normal super multiplier; we felt her power go up at least a hundred times the normal, and even at our full super saiyan power, we were only a quarter of hers.
"Oh."
"Shit."
We moved out of the way, barely fast enough to avoid her punch and jumped away to gain a lot of distance.
"What's wrong? Can't handle me anymore? I'm just warming up." We went super saiyan 2, hoping to at least stand a chance in this form. We tried to attack her, but she was too fast, it was just like our base forms all over again. We kept on dodging and attempting to attack, but we just couldn't do anything. She then got behind us, grabbed our legs from under us and slammed us into a wall. "Man, when you two fused, I was hoping for a good fight, but all I got was disappointment. Even while in super saiyan 2, you still can't match up to me." We popped out from the wall and stood, despite our injuries.
"Oh trust me, this isn't even the surface. Just like you, I'm only warming up." We charged up, and after a few seconds of screaming and hair growth, we stood before a wide eyed Kefla as a super saiyan 3.
"Whaaaaaaaaattttt?! You can go super saiyan 3?!"
"You like? Be honored, only two others have ever pushed me this far: The Galactic Consumer and Lord Sidra." She gave a chuckle.
"Fine, guess I'll show off my real power as well!" She powered up into super saiyan 2, and for once in this fight, our powers were basically equal.
"This is gonna be fun, I can feel it." We clashed fists, and the resulting shockwave was enough to stop fights all over the arena. We began zipping all over the place, clashing fists, landing hits and blocking others. We kicked off from each other and ran around, keeping track of the other; we hid behind some arena rubble and managed to sneak up behind her in order to land an energy gauntlet blow. She recovered fast and launched herself towards us, attempting to speed blitz, but we managed to barely dodge and block them all, finishing by grabbing her arm and spinning her to the floor. We charged an energy blast, but before we could fire, she blasted herself upwards and among the rubble, catching us by surprise and pummeling us into multiple large pieces of debris. We rolled over and deflected a red energy blast before it could hit us.
"So, Kefla. You're not gonna be as easy as I thought. That's just fine by me, I wouldn't want this to get boring." We lunged and locked grasps, each one trying to push the other in an equal struggle of might. Our energies began to form lightning all around, breaking the debris and causing fighters to run away. The arena began to break underneath us in a circular fashion, however, In one swift motion, we backflipped and kicked her in the chin, only to blast her the moment we landed; she blocked the blast, but that was alright since we charged from the side and threw a punch that sent her into multiple debris boulders and to the other side of the arena. She came back and we fought in one place, the force of our blows reverberating all throughout, making broken parts of the arena crumble and even sent some weaker fighters flying out. We each landed a solid hit that sent us flying, but once we recovered, we jumped up higher and higher pieces of rubble until we could overlook the arena.
"Hey! Down here!" We looked to see her charging two red and green energy blasts in each hand. We smirked, threw one arm in the air for a Solar Crusher and one arm to the side for a Nova Blast. She fired and so did we, the clash could be felt far beyond even the spectator seats, probably even through Zeno's force field. We were equal in power, but we decided to finish it here and now.
"Thank you for the fight, Caulifla, Kale; It was the most fun we've had in a while. Hopefully we meet again." We instantly powered up into super saiyan 4 and drew the beam struggle to a close with one hand. The overwhelming power tore through her blast and sent her flying out of the arena, shattering some of it in the process.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Her screams faded as the potara broke and the two of them were sent to the spectator seats. We powered out of 4 and defused, looking over our wounds and needing to rest for a bit. Stryker approached us and began to heal us up.
"You guys are nuts, that was one hell of a battle." We smiled at the comment, then heard Caulifla from the stands.
"Hey! We won't forget this! One day, we'll fight you guys again, and we're gonna clobber you!" I simply smiled and yelled back.
"I'm looking forward to it! Keep training, maybe you'll have a chance." She tried to hide it, but I saw that she gave a very slight smile before saying one last thing.
"Don't you dare lose then! I don't want to be remembered by being beaten by weaklings!" I gave her a thumbs up before Stryker finished healing us and we ran off.
