I'm back everyone! I apologize greatly for the long wait. I've been incredibly busy, but I'm not stopping just yet. I want to at least finish this arc. Now! You get to see Hit take on Jiren and the rest of U11! Goku vs Bergamo! Hope you enjoy!

Within the crater, Hit developed a purple aura. Jiren eyed the assassin carefully. "What are you plotting?"

The aura vanished and Hit reached down to his belt buckle, "It would be pretty foolish of me to reveal that to you, wouldn't it?"

He pressed down on it and the lower half of his jacket fell to the ground. Hit started to glow purple and held his fist out towards Jiren, who did held his own hand out and started to glow red. Hit fired a purple beam and Jiren launched a red blast towards it. Jiren's quickly overpowered Hit's and hit….Hit directly, causing a large explosion. However, purple, glass like objects started to drift across the area. Jiren stood still and closed his eyes, then felt a shift in the air, 'There!'

He swung his fist at the source and hit a purple blast, sending it away. Jiren started to emanat red energy. Jiren started to see purple bodies that disappeared and reappeared all around him, 'Each energy faint disappears after a half second.'

He continued to feel the energies, until he felt one stay for over a half second and opened his eyes, 'There!'

Jiren fired a red blast to where the energy was from, causing an explosion and sent Hit flying away. Hit landed on top of a stone and tried to stand up, but saw Jiren above him and rolled out of the way as Jiren slammed into the stone. Hit was sent flying and was about to hit a stone, but he kicked it and landed on the ground. Before he had time to do anything, red threads wrapped around him. He saw Jiren with the threads coming from his hands, then was tugged towards him to receive a hard punch to the face. Jiren swung Hit into some of the stones and finally slammed him into the ground. Jiren's threads disappeared and he started to charge a Ki blast, "An assassin's stealth is a weapon of weakness. You'll fall knowing that."

Hit started to stand up and coughed up blood, "I view it as a necessity to accomplish the job."

Hit started to glow purple and dashed toward Jiren, "Time Trap!"

Jiren tried to aim his blast, but Hit jabbed him clean into the chest and Jiren became covered in a violent glowing purple. Jiren prepared to blast Hit, but suddenly stopped where he was. Belmond was in shock at the sight, "What have you done?!"

Vados spoke up, getting Belmond's attention, "Hit appears to have trapped Jiren or at least his mind in his pocket dimension where he stores his Time Skip energy."

Hit charged a Ki blast in his hand, "I call it Time Lag."

Before Hit could fire it, the blast was kicked into the air and Hit received a kick to the chest with Dyspo now visible, "I owe you a little payback for earlier."

Toppo and the rest of the remaining Pride Troopers appeared around Hit, "Do not think we've overlooked your occupation assassin!"

Champa was freaking out and Vados had a frown, "This might be more problematic than we thought."

17 and Vegeta

Vegeta started to gain consciousness with 17 eyeing him, "You weren't out for very long."

Vegeta groaned as clutched his bitten arm, "Damn mutts….almost...had them."

Vegeta struggled to stand up, "Where are they?"

"They left after we saved you. I suggest not fighting too hard. That toxin in your body can and will get worse."

Vegeta growled, "Cut the crap. I can still fight!"

He jumped away and 17 just signed, "Guess there's no helping it."

Goku

Goku was stretching out, "Man. Really overdid it."

"Dad!"

Gohan and Piccolo ran up to him, "Are you okay?"

Goku smiled at them, "Yeah. I'm ready to back at it."

Piccolo glared at him, "Don't be stupid. After that battle, you're pretty much burnt out."

On a nearby rock, Frost was standing in front of the Trio De Dangers with his finger pointing at them, "Just as I told you."

Bergamot smirked and formed a grip, "We might not have gotten that other monkey, but these three are as good as done."

Frost bowed politely and started to walk away, "It was my high honor to help-"

He was cut off by Bergamo grabbing his head and holding him up, "No ya don't. You're gonna help us knock off those bastards."

Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo felt something and looked up to see Frost and the Trio De Dangers above them, "Frost!? Bergamo?!"

Bergamo smirked and pointed at Goku, "I'll be taking care of you."

Lavender and Basil looked at Gohan and started chuckling with Lavender blowing poison on his hands, "I'm going to make you rot."

Gohan kept a stern look and raised the Ki barrier, "You don't learn, do you?"

Frost stared down Piccolo with a smirk, "I wonder how well you've improved since we last met."

Piccolo kept a stern face, "Why don't you find-"

Frost made an attempt to sucker kick Piccolo. Piccolo blocked the kick with his arm, but was pushed back. Gohan started firing Ki blast at Basil and Lavender, which they dodged and jumped away from their brother. Gohan followed them and Bergamo cracked his knuckles, "Now then, time to deal with you."

Goku got into his stance with a smirk, "This is going to be tough."

Beerus grit his teeth and turned to face Sidra and Champa, "You two bastards are working together?!"

Champa laughed and smirked at Beerus, "It wasn't my idea, but I love how this is going."

Ro started to rub his hands together at the sight of this pinch, all with a grin to rival the Grinch, "Yes Bergamo! Crush him!"

Bergamo dashed towards Goku and landed an uppercut that sent him flying into a rock, then proceeded to jump towards him with a punch. Goku didn't have a chance to put his guard up before the punch landed and sent him crashing through several rocks. Goku landed on his feet, sliding when he did, and saw Bergamo put his hands together to slam. Goku back flipped and Bergamo struck the ground, causing a shockwave that pushed Goku back into a stone that crashed down on him. Shin watched the action with fear being transparent on his face, "Goku doesn't have the energy to fight him after that fight with Jiren."

Roh was chuckling with a twisted smirk, "Yes Bergamo! Throw that rotten Saiyan off the arena!"

Bergamo's hand glowed red with energy, "Wolfgang Penetrator!"

The large beam hit the rubble, causing an explosion. A smile appeared on Bergamo's face, "That should do it."

"Whew! Close one!"

Bergamo turned his head to see Goku standing on top of a rock, "How did you get there?!"

Goku put his fingers to his forehead and appeared behind Bergamo, "A little somethin called Instant Transmission."

Bergamo swung his fist around, but Goku transmitted to the top of a nearby rock to avoid it, "Sorry, but I don't have the energy to fight you head on right now."

Bergamo aimed his hand at Goku and started to fire Ki blast at him, but Goku transmitted again and again to dodge them. Beerus snarled, "Damn. Goku needs to go on the defensive."

Goku transmitted above Bergamo and fired a blast down, however Bergamo's hand started to glow red, "Wolfgang Snatcher!"

The blast turned red and stopped at Bergamo's hand, "You need to come up with better ideas."

He fired the blast at Goku, who wasn't quick enough to respond to the blast, and sent him flying. Bergamo closed his hand and the beam exploded. Bergamo reeled his fist back and waited for Goku to fall, but instead saw a red light, "What's going on?"

A wave of red energy crashed into Bergamo, causing an explosion. Bergamo charged his aura, clearing the area and looking up, "What-"

"Sorry about that!" Bergamo turned and saw Goku, who now had red hair and eyes, "I haven't whipped out Super Saiyan God in a while."

Bergamo gritted his teeth, "How did you get that?"

Goku put on a cheeky grin, "Long story. This form is great for conserving energy."

Bergamo jumped towards Goku and was about to throw a punch, but Goku jumped above him and kicked him into the ground. Bergamo stood up and aimed his hand at Goku, who held his hands back, "Kamehame-/Wolfgang-"

"-ha!/-Penetrator!'

Their beams collide and an explosion occurred not long after. Goku and Bergamo were both pushed back and Whis eyed with interest, "They appear evenly matched."

Goku took his stance and smirked, "Guess I can keep up now."

Bergamo charged his aura and smirked, "You really are stupid."

-Hit Versus U11-

Dyspo tried to kick Hit, but Hit jumped into the air. Kunshi wrapped his threads around Hit's arm and threw him to the ground. Hit appeared above Kunshi and was about to land a chop to his head, but was caught by Voun's lasso and pulled towards him. Hit punched a wave of invisible energy at Voun that struck his stomach, causing him to kneel over and break the lasso. Hit was about to land on the ground, but Toppo crashed down on him, "Justice Smash!"

Toppo stood on top of Hit, "Now then, let's finish this."

Hit punched the ground, much to Toppo's confusion, "Why would you-"

The ground started to crumble and break apart, causing Toppo to lose his footing and gave Hit an opportunity to use his Time Skip to break free. He sent himself flying to a rock and kicked it, propelling himself back toward Toppo. With the Time Skip keeping Toppo still, Hit launched a flurry of energy blast with two striking his elbows, knees, and head. Time returned to normal and Toppo, his body being completely disabled by Hit's attacks, was pushed back into a rock, which crumpled down onto him. He turned to a rock and fired a blast through it, only for Kahersal to backflip from behind it right when the beam started to pass though the stone, "You crud assassin!"

Hit was about to throw another blast, but jumped sensing energy coming towards him. Both Kunshi and Voun's attacks collided and Hit punched another blast of energy, sending Kahersal crashing through a stone, "General!"

Kunshi and Voun stated to lash their whips at Hit, but he phased through them and Time Skipped next to Voun. Hit punched him in the chest and sent him flying towards the edge, much to Kunshi's shock, "Damn you!"

Kunshi fired his threads at Hit, but he dodged them with his Time Skip and appeared behind him, "You are a threat that has to be eliminated."

Hit landed a chop on his head, stunning him, and fired a blast that sent him towards the edge, crashing into Voun in the process. They both fell off the edge and into the abyss, appearing next to Cocotte, "Voun and Kunshi of U11 have been eliminated!"

"Whip!" F. and P. Zenos pushed Voun and Kunshi respectively.

Belmond crossed his arms, "Damn. We're down to four."

Khai remained composed, "Doesn't matter. We still have Toppo and Jiren."

Rota laughed, "You fools! Both of your aces have been immobilized. It's just a matter of Hit-"

Back on the arena, Jiren's aura flared to life and shattered the purple energy around him. Chama turned to Rota with a glare, "You just had to say something, didn't you?"

Jiren turned to Hit with narrowed eyes, "You think mere schmeing would be enough to do away with me?"

Hit took a stance with gritted teeth. There was a silence and Hit Time Skipped, ready to punch Jiren in the chest with a purple orb in his hand, "Time Bomb!"

Hit opened his fist and thrusted his hand, but Jiren formed red energy around his arm and threw a punch towards Hit's orb, "Strengths Impact!"

Jiren's punch shattered Hit's Time Bomb, followed by Jiren sliding behind Hit with extreme speed and charging more energy into his arm, "This will finish thing!"

Jiren swung his arm at Hit's back, causing a massive crimson explosion and sending Hit flying across the arena and off the edge. Hit appeared next to Champa, much to the latter's horror, "Hit of U6 has been eliminated!"

"Bye!"

Champa started to panic, "Why didn't you just use your Time Skip?!"

Hit grumbled for a moment, "I used all of…..my stored time in that...last attack."

Hit fell unconscious and Vados grew a serious look, "I'm afraid this where it ends Lord Champa."

Champa started to sweat profusely and shook his head, "It's not over till it's over!"

Belmond started to smirk, "Without your trump card, it's only a matter of time before we win."

Champa started to grit his teeth and turned back to the arena, where Toppo, Dyspo, and Kahersal regrouped with Jiren, "Well done Jiren! You dealt with that assassin-"

Toppo stopped when he saw Jiren tighten his fist in frustration, "That weak assassin nearly eliminated me."

Jiren started to glow red, but Toppo spoke up, "It doesn't matter. He's eliminated, now there is nobody foolish enough to challenge-"

"Crusher Cannon!"

Red blast started to descend upon them, but Jiren used his eyes to blast them. Caulifla appeared in front of them and powered up to SS2, "You got a real fight now!"

Dyspo smirked at her, "It's just one of you."

He dashed at her, but Kale jumped down and caused a shockwave that pushed him back, "I won't let you hurt sis!"

Jiren just gazed lazily at them, "Two weaklings don't make a decent challenge."

Jiren turned to Toppo, "I'll leave them to you."

Jiren jumped back and Toppo aimed his hands at them, "You will both feel the wrath of justice!"

Caulifla and Kale looked at eachother and nod, "You're going down!"

-U2-

The team was walking around some of the stones, until Kakunsa started to sniff, "I smell something."

The team stopped and started to look around, Jimeze in particular closed his eyes and concentrated for a few moments, "It's faint, but I sense two energies near us."

Ribrianne turned to him, "Where?"

"Right here!"

A purple dash hit Rozie and pushed her through some of the stones, much Ribrianne and Kakunsa's horror, "Rozie!"

Before they could go after her, somehow, a large amount of rocks appeared above them and fell. Zirloin raised his hand up and manipulated the arena around them, making a shield to protect them from the falling stones. Zirloin lowered the shield and Ribrianne turned to where Rozie was pushed, "We have to go after her-"

Ribrianne was interrupted as she felt something beneath her foot and looked down to see a talisman, "What the-"

Ribrianne stepped back when the talisman shoot fire. The team looked around and noticed a number of them surrounding them. A green dash appeared on a rock and revealed Damon, "Guess you fell for that one."

Ribrianne and Kakunsa overdramatically gasped, "U4's hidden fighter!"

Damon smirked and pointed to himself, "Half actually! My coworker Dakori won't mind if I borrow her tools for a bit."

Vikal, who was flying above them, just crossed her arms, "I can still fly. This doesn't affect me whatsoever."

"Oh really?"

One of the talismans shot out lightning that struck Vikal, bringing her to the hair became an afro and her eyes were swirling. Kakunsa ran to her and raised three fingers, "Quick! How many fingers?"

"Eleven-teen?" Vikal replied before passing out.

"She's okay."

Zirloin turned to them, "Watch your step."

-Cabba-

Cabba was walking along the arena and looked to the stands, "Hit's been eliminated. Guess I should regroup with the others."

He was about to get moving again, but Rozie crashed through the rock and landed on top of him. Cabba opened his eyes and looked at her, "What the-"

Rozie rubbed her head and looked around, "Where-"

She saw that she was on top of Cabba and blushed, "AH!"

She back up and started stuttering, "Are you the loveless fiend who attacked me?"

Cabba took a stance and powered up to SS2, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I will eliminate you!"

"Halt!"

Katopesla appeared between them and aimed his hands at them both, "I cannot allow children to fight each other brutally!"

They both appeared confused, "Children?"

Rozie put a pouty face and stormed over to him, "I'm sixteen!"

Cabba just bowed, "I'm seventeen."

Katopesla stepped back and bowed to them both, "My apologies!"

"Excuse me." All three of them looked and saw Shantza standing on a rock, "I'm suppose to eliminate you guys."

Katopesla, Cabba, and Rozie got into their stances, "What do you want loveless cretain?!"

"I literally just told you."

Shantza's cheeks glowed red and a red dome appeared around them with blue talismen appearing, "Sorry, but you're done for."

Rozie pointed at him, "You have made a mistake! I am Rozie, Maiden of Love and Skill from U2!"

Katopesla pumped his fist, "I am Katopesla, greatest policemen of U3!"

Cabba charged his energy, "And I am Cabba, member of the Sadala Elite Guard!"

In the stands, Quitela smirked at what he was seeing, "This just got very interesting."

The Grand Priest spoke up, "The Tournament of Power is halfway over! The sky will now change!"

The sky went from black to green.

With the elimination of Hit, the tournament reaches it's halfway point.

Goku and Bergamo continued to throw punches at each other.

Which one will remain standing?

Gohan was dodging Lavender and Basil's attacks.

Who will be the next one eliminated?

Piccolo was trying to dodge Frost's attacks, but had little success.

Find out next time!

(DBS Preview Music)

Hello. I am Cognic.

Cabba was firing at a shadowy version of Gowasu.

It would appear that this tournament has begun to pick up it's pace

Caulifla was firing at Toppo.

Mortals flailing their power about, hoping for victory.

Dyspo appeared shocked at something.

Next time on DBUA.

Goku was shielding himself from one of Bergamo's punches.

'The Tournament Rallies!'

Katopesla punched a talisman that was emitting lightning.

It would be unwise to mise it.

That's that! Hope you found that it was worth the wait. Here you're going to see alliances, something I thought was missing from the TOP.

Again, I want to apologize for the long wait. I've had to help the family, play Kingdom Hearts 3, go back to theaters to watch Spiderverse again, marathon She Ra and Bojack Horseman again, finally beat Chrono Trigger, listen to music, try and work on other projects, etc etc.

Honestly the family helping is the only real reason. Baby siblings and all that yo! (Not saying I didn't try and do this whenever I could, but it's easy to get distracted by life.)

I was honestly kinda scared to talk about Dragon Ball for a bit because of the whole Vic thing. (If you wanna know my thoughts on the whole thing just google this: fankindess/journal/Thoughts-on-the-Vic-sitution-785280234)

As always, thoughts, reviews, and questions are appreciated! If you could, I must ask that you could share this. It honestly feels a little too quiet sometimes. I just appreciate feedback is all.

(I have not watched Broly yet, so please no spoilers!)
