Continuing From The Previous Chapter...
The arena was dead silent, the air vibrating from the aura emitting off the awakened Saiyan. Goku stood motionless as he stared at his opponent, his expression stern and calm. Kefla grunted, holding herself back from charging in blindly, "Tch...the bastard managed to get that power again...". Goku leapt backwards onto a large pillar and stared down the female fusion. He clutched both his fist, tensing his body to where he began to feel a large power building up. His body began to emit steam as an indication of him beginning to heat up.
Eventually the steam turned into a spiral around his feet until he let out a roar mixed with an Oozaru, "WRAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!". Fiercely, a large spiral of energy flared into the sky, generating hurricane level winds across the stage. Kefla shielded her face from the gales along with everyone nearby. Kuzuku hid behind the rock for cover, trying his best to keep himself from being blown away until he noticed a rock coming towards him. Quickly he leaped into the air, landing on a rock nearby while shielding himself with one arm, "This heat he's generating...did he get stronger?". All battles stopped as soon as the winds came, gaining everyone's attention. Vegeta who was looking for Toppo paused to look at the pillar from a distance.
"Kakarot...hmph, seems you've manage to pull it off again after all," Vegeta smirked.
Just a few feet ahead of him was Frieza who was watching the spectacle. His arms were crossed as he laughed at the display, "Oohohoho, the monkey just keeps getting stronger. Wonderful, keep progressing, I'll need you to take care of Jiren for me later!". On the other side of the arena, Gohan and 17 also felt the pressure as well as soon as they kicked away Koichiarator simultaneously. They both landed at the same time, staring at the pillar as well.
"This erupting Ki, it must be father's...," Gohan muttered.
Back at the battleground, Kuzuku watched as Goku calmed himself, his erupting Ki still generating a crushing pressure. He heard a voice call out to him from behind, "Kuzuku!". The Saiyan turned to see 21 leaping from rock to rock: climbing them until she finally stood next to him.
"Do you know what's going on? I was recovering most of my strength until I felt an uneasy pressure erupt," 21 asked, curious to know where this power is coming from. Kuzuku nodded, turning back towards the godly Saiyan with her, "Goku's managed to achieve Ultra Instinct again. It seems this time he's even more powerful compared to before.". As he said this, Goku looked down at the female fusion who was smirking at him.
"As I am right now, you can't defeat me...," Goku muttered.
Kefla blinked a few times before bursting with laughter, "HAHAHAHAHAH! You must be full of yourself! I must admit this heat you are generating is amazing! This must be that Ultra whatever!?".
"Ultra Instinct...," Goku corrected causally.
Kefla uncrossed her arms from her face and smirked, "Hmph, even so...,". The female fusion leaped onto a pillar facing him. She clutched her arms as well and powered up tremendously, creating an equal size pillar of energy of her own with static electricity.
"I won't lose no matter what power up you have, RRAAAAAAGH!" Kefla roared, transforming directly into a Super Saiyan Berserk 2. Both Saiyans pillar of energy rivaled one another, generating equal winds that shook the whole world of void. Kuzuku and 21 got down and held onto the rock for dear life.
"This storm of energy! I guess they don't care about keeping some moderation!" 21 complained.
One of the pieces of debris came flying towards universe 7 until Zugo blew it to ashes with an energy blast, "Sheesh, at least keep some of the pebbles on the stage will, yah?".
"Well I think it would be hard to do that with that kind of power, Zugo," Hudo noted.
Whis agreed, adding in some information on what was happening, "As much as I want modesty, I'd have to agree with Hudo-san. Prior to this, the trigger to Goku shattering his limitations again was Kefla who contained power enough to rival the Spirit Bomb that he bathed in. Combating such a power not only affected his Super Saiyan Blue form to reaching maturity but forced him to break through his shell again.". As he finished talking, Goku finished powering up as he watched Kefla generate red energy orbs in her hand. They spiraled around as she began to snicker, her green electrifying aura enveloping her.
"Are you finished with powering up?" Kefla asked, in a mocking tone.
Goku took a stance, his body shrouded with his Ki, "Yeah...this is enough for me.".
"Well then, how about I send you off before you even get to do a thing!?" Kefla shouted, dashing right towards Goku as the orbs merged into one. She closed the distance quick, their eyes locking onto each other. Kefla smirked as she was about to ram her blast into him until she noticed Goku disappeared from her sights. She became bewildered, thrusting pass him and nearly falling off the rock he was standing on. She balanced herself as she already threw the blast into the void before regaining two feet on the ground. She turned to see Goku standing with his back turned to her, not even giving her a glance. She growled, charging in with a kick to his head, missing completely as he ducked under her leg without looking. The female fusion grew even more frustrated, landing on her feet quickly to unleash a barrage of kicks. Goku looked to his left, his vision already tracking down the multiple kicks coming towards him. His body moved accordingly, moving out of the way of her attack with ease before stepping to the side casually.
However, his opponent was insistent on striking him down, unleashing a barrage of punches all aimed for his face. The godly Saiyan weaved all her strikes, moving in circles around the rock as she chased him with relentless attacks. Kefla began to get even more frustrated by each second, "Stay still and quite mocking me! Graaaagh!". Her attacks began to grow more rapid but despite that, Goku continued to dodge before stepping out of the way again and tripping her with his foot. She flipped herself upside down, throwing 10 energy blast at him before she landed on her feet. At first, they went towards him before separating: circling him from all angles first before flying towards him. Swiftly, Goku dodged each one, leaping away from the last two that crashed onto the ground beneath him. As he jumped backwards off the rock, he backwards dive towards the ground with Kefla pursuing him with more energy blast hovering at both her sides. He stared at her angered expression, waiting for her next move.
"Don't try and run!" Kefla shouted, throwing more blast at him. Cleverly, the Saiyan planted his feet on the side of the rock and flexibly bent his back to dodge the attacks. Due to this, he descended slowly enough for Kefla to catch up with him, their eyes dead lock on each other.
Kefla realized the predicament she was in quickly, "Crap, I am in the air, I can't defend!". Goku's eyes glowed before delivering a powerful double punch to her stomach. She gagged as she rocketed throw several pillars before crashing to the ground. Goku flipped himself onto his feet and turned to the destruction, his expression calm as ever.
"Unreal, those movements are so unreal. Ultra Instinct sure is amazing...," Krillin muttered.
Goku looked down at his fist before he heard the sound of rubble crashing to the ground. He looked up to see Kefla coming towards him, stopping to land on a pillar just in front of him. She punched her palm with a smirk, "What type of punch was that?! With impressive moves like that, those punches were pretty wimpy! Don't tell me that's all you got, Son Goku!". Goku stared back at her, thinking back on his attack before. He took another look at his fist before looking back at her.
"I think I am starting to get it. This, Ultra Instinct thing that is...," Goku muttered, flaring his Ki even brighter than before.
Meanwhile With Jiren And The Other Pride Troopers...
Barabatos and Dyspo sat on a separate rocks that were in between Jiren, bored out of their minds from being forced to look after Jiren. Barabatos let out a sigh, "Why do we have to stand on standby. Isn't Jiren strong enough to flick anyone out of the ring with his pinky?".
"Because Toppo told us to. We are down to four of us left so we can't take any risks. If by any slim chance that Jiren is not enough, he'll at least be able to have back up." Dyspo argued.
Barabatos leaned back with his legs crossed, "Still, we could of at least watched some of the fights. I bet one spectacular fight is going on right now...". Just as he said that, he noticed another eruption of silver mixed Ki. It looked more like a splash of water that covered a large area but the pressure it was generating was no question to who it belonged to.
"See, what did I tell you and we are mission out on the action," Barabatos complained, pouting with disappointment. That was until he felt a familiar energy move.
"Barabatos, Dyspo, let's move...," Jiren muttered, walking pass the two and leaping into the air. The two nodded, following the gray warrior that had landed on a pillar close enough to see. The other two followed suit, glancing around Jiren's body to see what he was staring at.
Now Back To The Fight At Hand...
Goku inhaled and exhaled, calming his Ki to a subtle level. He looked up at the fusion with glowing, serious eyes. Though, Kefla didn't exactly remain oblivious to the expression, "Now what's with that face? Caught an attitude I see? Was that display before just to scare me or something?!". Goku remained unfazed by her mocking, prompting her to boast more.
"Don't worry, I'll start pummeling for sure this time. You can't beat me with those wimpy attacks of yours, so get ready!" Kefla claimed.
Goku turned to her before dashing pass her so fast that she didn't even have much time to react. By the time she turned around, her mind began to race, "What in the hell is with this speed!?". She caught a glimpse of his eyes shining again, this time more fierce than before. Her eyes then trailed to his fist that seemed to be steaming, before it rammed itself into her stomach.
Before she knew it, she was pummeled with a countless onslaught of punches, each one causing agonizing pain to wash all over her body. The last punch that connected destroyed the pillar below them, her pupils dilating as she groan in pain. Goku stared at her emotionless before kicking her firmly in the stomach before unleash eight more kicks to the same area.
He then ended off his brutal assault with a power kick to her stomach, rocketing her so hard that she broke several sound barriers before crashing to the ground. Her back slid, colliding and shatter from pillar to pillar before being stopped by a large boulder. The dust around her cleared quickly, revealing her to be struggling to get up while she clutched her stomach. She didn't even have time to contemplate with the pain as she spotted Goku coming after her with another fist ready. Hurriedly, she got onto her feet and blocked the punch with her right forearm, the force blowing away the debris surrounding them. Goku got closer to her face, clearly seeing the slight contortion of pain evident there, "What's wrong? Is that pain that you are feeling? I thought my attacks were too wimpy to beat you?".
"Grrrr, Shut Up!" Kefla roared, through a desperate kick at the godly Saiyan. Goku quickly maneuvered around this and kicked her across the face, hurling her towards some rocks. He clenched his fist and fired a shockwave from it with a mighty roar, the force ramming itself into her stomach. She cried in pain as she was flown harder into the piles of rubble, however, Goku grunted in frustration for some reason. In a matter of seconds, a flare of Ki blew the rubble away as the female fusion leaped out of it and onto a large rock. She panted heavily, gasping for air from having the wind knocked out of her.
"She still got up from an attack like that? Just how tough is she?" Hudo commented.
"That's not it...," Whis said, gaining the other attention except for Beerus.
The angel continued to stare into the arena as he spoke, "It's true that Kefla is more persistent than any normal fighter but, Goku hasn't been able to fully utilize the offensive side of Ultra Instinct. The evident panting and fatigue on Goku's face could mean that he needs one more attack to finish this fight, otherwise, he'll likely run out of stamina.".
Goku took one step forward, regaining his breath while glaring at Kefla, "Know this, Kefla...I'll finish you with this next attack.". Kefla eyes widened at his words. The tone of his voice, the expression on his face, he made it seem as if it were a certainty that what he said will happen. This thought angered her, cursing at the situation she was in.
"Damn it...! Not yet, I will not lose here! Hraaaghhhh!" Kefla roared, powering up far beyond her limits. Her green electric aura flare larger and larger every few seconds. She glared daggers at the Saiyan, his expression still calm as ever.
"If that's what you think will happen then I will do everything in my power to defeat you! I WILL KNOCK YOU OFF, SON GOKU!" Kefla exclaimed, roaring even louder. Her Ki raised to the point where it transitioned slowly into a red color until it burst outwards into numerous lasers that began to slice the arena up. Goku wasn't fazed by the whole thing, only standing their as the gales raged all around him. Kuzuku and 21 leaped out of the way from one of the blasts that destroyed the rock they were standing on.
They landed on another one close by with Kuzuku sweating bullets from getting hit by those, "Her energy is swelling up even more. If Goku gets hit by one of those then he's done.".
Kefla shouted at Goku, swinging her arms for her unstable beams of energy to strike him, "Say Goodbye!".
The god-like Saiyan narrowed his eyes before taking off running towards the enraged fusion. He began leaping side to side, dodging with utmost accuracy. He saw two coming from his sides horizontally and did a side spin in mid air, his arm only grazing the flat part of the beam until it passed by. Goku looked up to avoid a vertical rain of beams coming above, flipping several times before dashing towards her once more. She was slightly shocked that he was still pursuing her, unleashing an unimaginable amount of desperate blast at him to where it surrounded him from all angles. Goku's eyes widened at how many there were, however, his body reacted on its own, leaped into the air enough to perform numerous acts of flexibility to avoid being hit. Shockingly, Goku dodged all of them as he was soon seen to have landed on the side of a rock while the attacks pursuing him exploded beneath him, the light shadowing his face and only leaving those silver eyes visible.
"Impossible...tch, GRAAAAAGH!" Kefla roared out of annoyance, swing more beams at him desperately. Goku leapt from the rock, leaving it to be destroyed behind him. In mid air, he brought his hands together and began to chant.
"Kaaaaaaaaa...,"
As he charged, he avoided more beams by using the rubble as stepping stones to get closer. Each one he leaped from was destroyed in an instance, reminding him that there was no room for error.
"Meeeeeeeeeeee...,"
Kefla, roared even louder, firing two beams side to side as if at this point she was running out of ways to strike him. Goku spun around, kicking two of the falling debres to intercept the blast while leaping off the last of them towards her. The explosion clouded the Saiyan until he rocketed through the smoke with tremendous speeds.
"Haaaaaaaa...Meeeeeeee...,"
Kefla smirked as an opportunity finally presented itself. She extended both her arms to her sides in a 45 degree angle, generating numerous Ki orbs in her hand before they spiraled together to form two swirling disc of green and red energy. She cackled loudly in triumphant, "You can't dodge in mid-air! I WIN, SON GOKU!". She fired her enormous energy wave of green and red energy at the Saiyan. Everyone panicked, believing that there was no way out of this situation until Goku did the unthinkable and it was premeditated from the slight smirk that Goku made.
In what could only be described as pure skill, Goku twisted his body enough to use the Kamehameha to surf up Kefla's wave towards her in a matter of seconds. The female fusion looked up with absolute shock, baffled at the feat he just pulled off.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Goku roared, blasting Kelfa directly in the face. She cried in pain as the wave pushed her towards the ground and eventually across the stage until the edge completely shattered to pieces. She still howled in agony before her potara earrings shattered, defusing the two Saiyans as they teleported above the stands, leaving the energy wave to plumet itself beneath the stage. They floated for a moment before comically crashing to the ground on top of one another. Goku stopped firing, diminishing his attack all together before landing on top of a rock nearby: standing victories from all the struggle while the reminisce of his attack exploded beneath the stage.
The arena shook from the violent tremor until all of a sudden it stopped, silence taking over, the universe 7 team from the whole ordeal. Whis looked over to his god of destruction, "Lord Beerus-sama...". Beerus sigh heavily, as if he was holding down something he didn't want to let out. That was when the Grand Priest spoke, his words seemingly premeditated.
"Kale and Caulifla have fallen out of the ring. Meaning that Universe 6 has been eliminated and now will be erased!" He announced. Cabba went over to Kale and Caulifla to help them off the ground.
"Are you two alright?" Cabba asked.
Caulifla groaned, giving him a thumbs up as she tried to stand, "Yeah, don't think something like that will hurt me...Grraaagh!". When the two female warriors stood up they were surrounded by their team members, all of them smiling with pride.
"You two did well, thank you for fighting alongside us," Troc complimented.
"Trust me, it's our pleasure. Hey, you guys were pretty strong as well, let's fight!" Caulifla cheered turning Super Saiyan 2. The three Namekians cringed, running away from the battle maniac Saiyan. As she laughed she caught a glimpse of Son Goku staring at them, causing her to stop.
She deformed form and went over to the edge, "Oi, old man! Don't think this is over! We'll defeat you someday you can count on it!". Goku nodded turning his back towards them. He had no words to say, nothing left for him to express. If he did, he'd probably sound like a broken record. The two Zeno's raised their hands, the glow emitting off all of universe 6's bodies. Cabba walked over to where he could see Vegeta standing, as if he already knew what was about to happen.
"Master, I wish you luck! I'm sorry that I was unable to survive but don't give up! I believe in you!" Cabba shouted. Vegeta didn't even turn, however, he smiled anyway.
Champa unfolded his arms, turning towards his brother, "Oi, Idiot Beerus!". The slim version of him turned to face his brother, waiting for his last words. Champa grinned widely, placing both hands on his hips before sticking his tongue out at him in a goofy fashion.
*Whoosh!*
And just like that, they were gone, leaving their twin universe to continue their fight alone. Beerus stood in front of the rest of the team, muttering quietly to himself, "At least say something...".
A/N: Hey there, sorry if the updates are becoming irregular compared to before. As an update on my current situation, I've completed two out of the four regents exams which means I am halfway free from the nightmare we call school. I've been busy studying so I can pass which is the reason why updates been slowed. Now, as for this chapter, it was short when I made it as I have to admit, I wanted to get to the universe 11 and 7 fight quickly as that's what many of you wanted to witness. I summed up Anilaza in one go for you guys since: one he didn't present much in the anime and two, again I wanted to get to universe 7 vs 11. Don't worry, I made the ending a tad bit more exciting for you all to enjoy. In conclusion, I have to admit, I made Goku a bit more cocky towards Kefla mocking.
