Hey there! I kept my promise of having this upload this week. (I DID SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE YAYYYYY!) This is one I'm sure all...like….four or five of you who review this story have been looking forward too. Seriously though and I know I sound like a review w*****, but please review! Silence is worse than literally being told my work is trash! Though don't call my work trash and that being it. I want constructive feedback, not trolling. I'm getting off topic here, aren't I? HEY! LET'S GET TO IT! HAHAHHAHAHAH!
Goku and Jiren were staring each other down, neither making a movement. Back in the stands, Belmond was watching the two with his arms crossed, "Whatever Son Goku has achieved, it will not be enough to defeat Jiren."
Marcarita looked at Belmond with a blank stare, "I wouldn't underestimate him. He seems to have achieved a great power from the Spirit Bomb, yes?"
Goku started to walk towards Jiren, 'Something isn't right. The bomb must have tampered with his mind.'
Jiren's eyes started to flash red, Goku moved slightly to the left as a flurry of energy blitzes destroyed some of the rocks and caused a stream of smoke to go off the arena. Goku continued to walk towards Jiren with no increase or decrease in speed. Belmond had his mouth agape by what he just witnessed, "How?!"
Dyspo jumped onto a nearby rock and looked Goku over, "Must have gotten pretty quick to dodge Jiren's blitz attack."
He smirked while a purple aura started to appear around him, "Nothing I can't handle."
Dyspo launched himself towards Goku with his foot out, "Justice Kick!"
Goku stopped and held his hand up, confusing Dyspo, 'What's he-'
Right when the kick was about to hit Goku's face, the hand he raised caught Dyspo's leg, "Hey! What are you-"
Before Dyspo could finish, Goku started to spin him around with extreme speed. A few seconds after, Goku threw Dyspo into a nearby stone. Toppo jumped out of nowhere and was about to land on Goku, "Son Goku!"
Goku simply kept walking towards Jiren and Toppo crashed into the ground. Toppo stood up and aimed his hand at Goku, "Justice Flash!"
Toppo started to fire the attack, however Goku jumped back, prompting Toppo to move his hand to follow Goku despite not hitting him once, and kicked him into the ground. Jiren eyed Goku and raised his arm, "I do not know how you have achieved this, but it would be foolish to assume that I would kneel over at the unfamiliar."
Jiren charged a Ki blast in his hand and fired it at Goku, however Goku slid under the blast and punched Jiren in the stomach. Belmond's mouth was agape at the site and started to hold his hair, "How is this Saiyan gaining ground on Jiren?!"
Khai narrowed his eyes, "This can only be happening due to one factor."
With U7, Whis was looking at Goku with a smile, "It would seem that Goku has mastered the sacred technique that I've set forth for him and Vegeta."
Shin looked at Whis with a confused look on his face, "What are you talking about? What technique?'
Beerus eyed Goku's punch pushing Jiren back and shifted his gaze to Shin, "Ultra Instinct."
Belmond started to slowly turn towards Beerus with gritted teeth, "What?!"
Champa ran towards Beerus with wide eyes, "B-b-but nobody's used Ultra Instinct in-"
He started to count on his fingers, "A really long time!"
Shin turned to Elder Kai, "What's Ultra Instinct?"
Elder Kai rubbed his chin for a moment, "Apparently, it's what Goku has."
With U2, Peru was stroking his beard, "Ultra Instinct. I never thought I would lay my eyes upon it."
He turned to Helles and saw she was staring at Goku, "Helles?"
Ea's glasses fell to the ground as he just stuttered, "Ul-ul-ultra Instinct?"
Mosco's eye light up, however there was no beeping going on, "It would seem that Lord Mosco is experiencing intense shock."
Quitela started to frantically bit his nails, "How could a mortal achieve Ultra Instinct?!"
Kuru was staring with a weary look in his eyes, 'Really starting to hope they knock out each other.'
Sidra and Roh was starting to sweating profusely, "Those bastards have achieved such a high level in power. This will be a problem for us later if nothing is done now."
"Who cares about later if we can't even survive right now?!" Roh screamed as he pointed to the Trio De Dangers performing the Danger Triangle around Vegeta, who was standing still with his arms crossed, "This is the same technique you tried on the Android? Pathetic."
Vegeta started kneel over with a white glow on his body, "Allow me to show you pups a real technique."
He thrusted his arms into the air and a large explosion occurred, sending the Trio flying off in different directions. Lavender was sent into a rock and landed near the edge. He groaned as he stood up, "That Saiyan is going to get it-"
Vegeta appeared next to Lavender, "Going to get what?"
Lavender panicked and backed up, "Get poisoned!"
Lavender breathed a large cloud of poison at Vegeta and cackled madly, "Let that be a lesson to you-"
He stopped talking when Vegeta kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying up into the air. He was about to fall into the abyss, but a rock was sent flying towards him, "Jump Lavender!"
Lavender kicked the rock and landed right behind Vegeta with Basil appearing right next to him, "You thought it would be that easy?!"
Vegeta held his stance as Basil dashed in towards him with a glowing leg, "Shining Kick!"
Vegeta crossed his arms to block the kick and was pushed back, while Lavender jumped above Basil with his hands covered in poison. Vegeta gritted his teeth and held his hand out, "Final Shine Attack!"
A large green beam erupted from his hand and sent Lavender flying, however Basil landed a clean kick to his abdomen and pushed back once more, "You mutts take enjoyment in using prideless tactics, don't you?"
Basil looked at Vegeta like he was crazy, "Pride? Hate to break it to ya, but pride only gets you killed."
Vegeta held his hands together and a barrage of small Ki blast towards the wolfman, only for Bergamo to appear in front of Basil and hold his hand out, "Wolfgang Snatcher!"
Bergamo's hand started to glow red and the small Ki blast started to rush towards it, then were turned red upon reaching Bergamo's hand. Vegeta smirked at this, "So, the eldest of the prideless mutts has come to play."
Bergamo growled at him, "I can't stand guys like you. So high on your own horse, that it's impossible to see someone else being different from you."
Vegeta frowned at the statement, "You misunderstood. I just hate those cheating tactics of yours."
Lavender hopped next to his brothers and they all stared Vegeta down.
-Goku VS Jiren-
Jiren was throwing a series of punches at Goku, which the Saiyan dodged flawlessly. Goku jumped up and held his leg out with white energy covering it. Jiren covered his right hand with red energy and punched towards the leg, causing a collision that could be felt from the benches, "No joyfull boast?"
Goku threw his weight forward, basically front flipping to get behind Jiren, and landed punch to Jiren's back, pushing him forward. Jiren turned around and his eyes flashed red, Goku jumped forward as a he kicked his foot out and an energy blitz sent him upward. He charged a Kamehameha in his hands and fired it towards Jiren, who simply held his hand out as the beam made contact and vanished. Back in the stands, Tien looked shocked, "How? Goku achieved this new power, didn't he?"
"Well, yes and no." Whis answered.
Tien turned to him with a glare, "What do you mean?"
"Look at Goku's hair. Despite achieving Ultra Instinct, his power has not really increased. Not significantly from standard anyway."
Beerus kept watching the fight, "In other words, it's just a faster and smarter version of him without Super Saiyan."
Whis turned back to the arena, "Smarter is a strong word. More aware is actually accurate. That awareness allows him to know where to be and the right moment to strike."
Roshi laughed without taking his eyes off the fight, "Well then, let's hope he's aware enough to land a hit to blow Jiren off."
Jiren's hands glowed red and he fired two large red beams at Goku, who started to emit an extreme amount of steam from his body. Goku fired a blast that sent up and landed right on the beam, running across them without harm, 'He's using his heat to move on my attack!'
Goku jumped and held his foot out. Jiren released his hands from the beam and charged a Ki blast in his right, "You can't dodge in midair!"
Jiren fired the beam at Goku, however, upon contact with the steam, dissolved. Goku landed the kick across Jiren's face and pushed him back. Back in the stands, Belmond screamed, "That heat won't last forever! Jiren, knock down that heat with all you have!"
Goku screamed loudly and his steam greatly grew in size. Jiren's eyes glowed brightly as his arms did the same, "Power Crushing Cannon!"
Jiren fired a massive red beam at Goku, who was still charging his energy. The beam made contact with the steam, but wasn't pushing it. Goku kept charging as he screamed louder. Jiren started to narrow his eyes in frustration, "Fall!"
The struggle continued for a few more seconds, before a massive explosion occurred. Jiren crossed his arms in the face of the explosion and looked closely after it passed, when he suddenly felt a rapid amount of hits to his stomach. Jiren looked and saw Goku with his fist out, 'He must be using some technique.'
Beerus eyed Goku carefully, "It seems Goku lost his steam."
Jiren eyed Goku and resumed his posture, "It's only a matter of time."
-Katopesla and the Triad Unit-
Katopesla and the three machines were watching Goku and Jiren's fight, "It would seem the villainous scum Goku will soon fall."
"Katopesla." Ea's voice came from the officer's helmet, "Yes, Lord Ea?"
"You are to avoid engagement with the U11 warriors. Let U7 and U6 deal with them."
"Surely you jest."
"I am not. Listen to me. U4 has three warriors left. Track them down and eliminate them."
Katopesla turned to the Tria Unit, "What about the Triad Unit?"
There was a slight chuckle from the communicator, "They will be assigned to target enemies when they are weakened. We have nothing to worry about them."
"Plan X, I believe it was called?" Katopesla questioned.
Koitsukai walked up to him and opened it's eye, revealing the sphere of Paparoni's staff, "That and something much greater."
The communication cut off and Katopesla crossed his arm, "I suppose that this is where we-"
He turned around and saw that the Triad Unit was already gone, "Rude."
-Jimeze and Ribrianne-
Jimeze was holding Ribrianne's hand and walking to a crevasse. Ribrianne looked down, "How could I have lost?"
Jimeze turned to her and smiled. "Do not worry Madam Ribrianne. The love of U2 will win in the end."
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to meet with the others. They are just ahead."
They went into the crevasse and saw the rest of U2. Rozie saw them and smiled, "Ribrianne!"
Ribrianne looked at the rest of the team with a frown, "What are you guys doing here?"
Zirloin gave a stern look, "We're regrouping to keep ourselves from risking anymore teammates."
Ribrianne put her hands on her hips, "Why are you hiding here?"
Kakunsa waved her tail, "Apparently, we needed to hide here until we can show our love again."
Ribrianne looked at Vikal, who smiled sheepishly and shrugged, "We're going to head out and show the universes our love!"
Jimeze and Rozie gestured towards Ribrianne as she held her arms up. Zirloin stood tall, "We will go out as a unit and eliminate any foe who crosses us."
Ribrianne pumped her fist, "That's exactly what I just said, but alright!"
They wondered out of the crevasse and saw that things were very quiet. Rozie tapped the side of her visor, "Looks like that Goku guy and Jiren are going at it."
Jimeze crossed his arms, "Still?"
Zirloin pointed to the left, "We should move."
-Vegeta vs Trio De Dangers-
Bergamo was throwing punches at Vegeta, while Lavender and Basil were running next to them. Bergamo threw punches with both hands at the same time, which Vegeta countered by pushing Bergamo's arms with his own. Bergamo charged a Ki blast, but Vegeta hit it with his own and pushed Bergamo into a nearby rock.
Basil and Lavender pounced towards Vegeta, with kicks and poisoned punches respectively. Vegeta was struggling to block them both, 'Damnit! Their coordination is too tight. My body feels..strange.'
His thoughts were interrupted by a well landed kick to the torso and a punch to the face. Vegeta was pushed back as Basil and Lavender pounced to continue the assault. Vegeta grabbed both Basil and Lavender, then threw them towards the edge. Vegeta smirked at this, however it was followed by an extreme feeling of pain as Vegeta crouched onto his knees and clutched his arm, "What's happening...to me?"
He heard laughter coming from the stands and saw Oregano pointing at him, "It would seem that my special ability has finally taken effect!"
Vegeta gritted his teeth in pain, "What have you done bastard?!"
Oregano showed off a toothy grin and pointed to his teeth, "You see, my simian foe, during our battle I bite your arm. That bite was all I needed to take you down later rather than sooner."
Vegeta took off his glove and saw his blood veins were glowing red, then turned his attention back to Oregano, "You were fly caught in a spider's web."
Basil and Lavender smirked at the news, "Guess you ain't so tough now."
Basil charged a Shining Blaster while Lavender took a deep breath, "Shining Toxic Cannon!"
Lavender blew a large cloud of poison, which was followed by Basil kicking the sphere. The blast went through the cloud, turning purple in the process, and rocketed towards Vegeta. Vegeta held his hand out with a blue Ki sphere, "Big Bang Attack!"
He fired the attack at the sphere, causing them both to explode and pushing Vegeta back. Basil and Lavender jumped through the cloud and landed in front of Vegeta. The prince eyed them both down and charged energy into his hands, "You two mutts are starting to irritate me!"
He fired a series of Ki blasts at them, pushing them back towards the edge, before feeling an intense pain surge from his arm, "Damnit!"
His neck started to share the red glow as his veins, "I need to finish this now."
He stretched his arms to the side and yellow lightning started to erupt, "I'll blow you pound puppies off the arena!"
Basil and Lavender saw Vegeta charging the beam and were about to jump, however they were cut off by the lightning blocking their path. Back in the stands, Roh was holding his head in horror, "We'll be down to one if this works!"
Vegeta brought his hands together and a yellow Ki orb started to form, "Take all that I have! Final Flash!"
A massive yellow beam fired from his hands towards the wolves. Basil and Lavender stood in shock as the blast neared them. There was a woosh sound as Bergamo appeared in front of them with his arms and legs spread out. The beam hit Bergamo dead on, causing a massive explosion. Vegeta looked at the smoke with a smirk and started laughing, "That was just a small sample of my power!"
Roh started to scream, but was scratched on the cheek by Hop, "Idiot! They're still on the ring!"
He turned to see that the Trio weren't there, before turning back to the arena to see their section was still covered in smoke. Vegeta stopped laughing and clenched his arm, "Damnit! Used too much energy-"
Before Vegeta could finish his sentence, an enlarged Bergamo, about a quarter of the pillar, appeared from the smoke with burn marks on his body, "I'll teach you what happens when you mess with my pack!"
Bergamo slammed his fist onto Vegeta before he could respond, causing a massive shockwave to destroy the nearby rocks. Once the dust settled, Bergamo shrunk down to his normal size and saw a knocked out Vegeta was reverted back to base form. Sidra started to smile, "Great work! Now, knock him off and go after the rest of U7!"
Bergamo grew a grin as he picked Vegeta up, "Told ya. U7 will fall."
A series of Ki blast fell down upon them and Bergamo dropped Vegeta, "What the-"
He looked up to see 18 and Krillin firing down on them, "Hang on Vegeta!"
Bergamo tried to fire his own blast back, but the the constant assault cut him off from doing such. A green barrier surrounded Vegeta and was lifted up from the ground. 17 appeared next to them with an indifferent look, "Just like the island."
18 turned to with a blank stare, "Keep your animal love on the island."
Bergamo growled when Basil and Lavender appeared next to him, "This isn't over! Lavender, smoke screen!"
Lavender blew a large cloud of poison that blocked U7 from seeing them. Krillin kept firing at the poison cloud, but 17 grabbed his shoulder, "Forget about it."
18 poked Vegeta's arm with her foot, "You still alive-"
She was cut off by a scream of pain from Vegeta, "17."
17 moved Vegeta sleeve up and saw the redness in his veins, "Pretty bad. Like getting poison administered from a needle."
Krillin was about to say something , but a massive explosion occurred a good distance away, "That must be where Goku and that Jiren guy are."
17 looked up to 18, "You go. I'll make sure he doesn't die."
18 nodded and they jumped off.
-Goku VS Jiren-
Goku and Jiren were staring at each other. Belmond was wearing a smirk, "This is going to end no differently than any other battle for Jiren."
Jiren started to rapidly punch towards Goku with energy on his hands, provoking him to slowly walk towards Jiren. Behind him, there were a series of explosions as he dashed towards Jiren and started to throw punches at him with extreme speed. Jiren raised his arms to block the punches, only to feel Goku's knee make contact with his stomach. The knee was followed by a Kamehameha that pushed Jiren, due to the knee breaking his stance, towards the edge, however Jiren's eyes glowed red and the beam vanished. Jiren took a deep breath as he saw white light in the pillar, followed by Goku flying towards Jiren with his fist out. Goku pulled his fist back and was about to throw a punch, however Jiren started to glow red all over with a smile, "Saiyans. Such interesting beings."
As Goku's silver aura and eyes died down and his hair turned back to normal, Jiren grabbed Goku's hand and jumped into the air, "It's over."
Jiren spun Goku around and tossed him to the crater they were in earlier, causing that part of the arena to crack. When the dust settled, Goku was unconscious and Jiren landed next to him with a Ki blast ready, "Take solace Son Goku. You have given me more of a challenge than any other foe I have faced. I will remember this encounter."
Goku started to stand up and struggled to keep standing, "I'm...not-"
Jiren fired the Ki blast, pushing Goku away. In that split second, Hit threw a punch to the back of Jiren's head. Much to Hit's shock, Jiren caught his hand and turned to him, "Assassin of U6, what were you hoping to accomplish?"
Hit kept a stern look, "My job."
-Goku-
Goku was still being pushed by the blast, however a red beam shot through the blast. The resulting explosion sent Goku flying into a rock. Goku was stuck in the rock, "Owwwwwww."
He looked up and saw Freeza standing in front of him, "My, my, my. What a nice position of you to take. Truly, this is has been a good day so far."
Freeza pointed at Goku, who looked shocked, "Freeza…"
He was covered in a red glow and he fell to the ground. He started to move and looked at his hand, "Huh?"
"I gave you enough energy to move. Consider us even."
Goku stood up and started to smirk, "Thanks Freeza."
Freeza just looked at him with dumbfoundment, "I never thought I would be hearing thanks from you of all people."
Goku chuckled as Freeza started to walk away.
The battle between Goku and Jiren has reached a conclusion no one would see coming.
Jiren tossed Hit back as the assassin stared him down.
The tournament continues to develop as fighters begin to form new plans.
Frost eyed Gohan and Piccolo, then turned his gaze to the nearby Trio De Dangers with a smirk.
Many opponents have started to take their path.
The U2 group continued to walk, however a sound occurred behind them and caught Rozie's attention.
The tournament continues. Next time!
Hit started to glow purple.
(DBS Preview Music)
"Hello. I am Vados, attendant of U6's GoD Champa."
Hit was phasing through energy attacks with a stressed look.
"Hit appears to have overestimated his own abilities against the U11 fighters."
Unseeable forces started to push the U2 fighters around.
"I suppose that we will begin to suffer a decrease, but anything can happen."
Frost was talking with the Trio De Dangers with a smirk.
"Next time on Dragon Ball UA. Phase 2 of the tournament begins."
Shantza stood still with his eyes piercing the void.
"It wouldn't be wise to miss it!"

That's that down pat!
I want to explain the Ultra Instinct thing real quick. Xenoverse gameplay (For those of you who don't know, UI Goku has crappy health). Glad to have that out of the way.
Also yes, this will be similar to the anime canon in regards of the first Jiren fight. I'm hoping to give Hit a bit of a stronger send off though.
Also, Vegeta isn't going to be ringed out because of the poison. Not how that subplot is going to go. Actually, I can't even think of calling it a subplot. More like an excuse for Vegeta not having a major role until the end.
Hopefully, I can go back to, not weekly updates, but close together updates.
Take care everyone and remember. Reviews, thoughts, and feedback is appreciated!
