Battle-Crazed Saiyans Fight!
"I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight for you. You need to remember that." ~R.L. Griffin, Seamless
Peppa tiredly staggers away from Goku and Caulifla working his way around two large pillars of rock where Kale stood between them watching Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla stare down a tired looking Goku. Kale glances over to Peppa approaching her leaning up against the pillar clenching his left arm with his right arm. Kale gives Peppa a worried look observing the sweat running down his face, a dark ring under his eyes and a painful expression across his face.
"Are you going to be ok?" Kale with a concerned look on her face. Peppa just shook his head looking over to Caulifla and Goku.
"I'll be fine. I just need a few minutes…" Peppa said very dryly. Goku takes a defensive fighting stance, Peppa was captivated by Caulifla's golden aura and the blue lighting flowing around her form. Caulifla steps forward with a serious look.
"We lost Hit and then Cabba. Yet, I couldn't do anything" Caulifla paused remembering their sacrifices. "In order to take on their share and survive this, I need to get even stronger" Caulifla pauses for another moment. "Teach me how to go beyond Super Saiyan 2 to 3!" Caulfila demands. Goku closes his eyes taking in a deep breathe her words reaching his heart.
"Sure thing" Goku replies to her.
"Are you sure?" Caulifla smirks.
"Off course" Goku assures her. "But if you wanna become 3, try to beat me" Goku challenges her.
"Aren't you transforming?" Caulifla holds up her fists ready to fight.
"Like Peppa over there I'm just tired out from just fightin' Jiren" Goku tells her. "I'll slowly pick up the pace. Don't worry" Goku assures her.
"What?!" Caulifla gives him a curious look.
"C'mon then!" Goku smiles.
"Cocky bastard" Caulifla gives Goku a stern look.
"Does Goku intend to fight like that?" Krillin yells out from the stands.
"This could be our opportunity" Champa grins. "Son Goku just fought Jiren and hasn't fully regained his stamina yet" Champa points out. "Go, Caulifla! Now's your chance to beat Son Goku! Knock him off!" Champa cheers.
"Idiot! Stop it, Champa!" Beerus yells at his twin brother. "If Goku goes down, who will beat Jiren?!" Beerus imposes the question to the stands. Heles suddenly stands up.
"Peppa, will find a way. He has proven that time and again" Heles proclaims. "His current condition is a mere set back" Heles assures them.
"If he can't do it then we will beat him by having the most warriors at the end! So Son Goku isn't necessary" Champa smirks.
"You saw Jiren's power, didn't you?" Beerus asked stupidly. "Goku is probably the only one who can defeat Jiren" Beerus scuffs.
"And if he is?" Champa gives an uncaring look to his brother. "Like I said before their is no need to defeat Jiren. The universe with the most warriors left within the time limit wins" Champa girns.
"That's my strategy as well" Pells says under his breath.
"True, but if Jiren goes on the attack no one but OUR saiyans will be able to stop him" Heles reminds them proudly. Peppa looked up at the stands with disgust. He hated the pressure and belief being forced on his shoulders. Did they not know his best wasn't good enough? Did they not see his body is wrecked with injury and a broken arm? Could they not see he was in pain and had no energy left? How was he to regain his stamina, fix his broken arm, and not only overcome the difference in Jiren's and his power, but win in 23 minutes? It was utter madness to him.
"Oh yeah? How much time is left?" Beerus crosses his arms and smiles.
"About 23 minutes or so" Whis answers.
"That's right. It's already half over" Beerus points out looking up.
"Jiren's Universe 11 has two warriors left. Right now, it's more important to pick off whatever the remaining Universe 7 warriors we can" Champa smiles enjoying his brotherly rivalry. "We'll continue to reduce your numbers and when time's up, we'll win with our four once we whittle down Universe 2's warriors as well! How's that?! Bet you can't retort, Beerus!" Champa mocks him.
"That's unrealistically calm situational analysis, Champa" Vados compliments.
"I can think things through too" Champa holds his head up with pride.
"Go, Caulifla! Knock Son Goku off!" Champa stands up holding up his hands.
"Here goes! I'll beat you in no time!" Caulifla boast proudly. Suddenly, Caulifla longed forward throwing a series of punches and kicks at Goku who could only defend and parry her attacks. They fight across the stage leaping up in the air. Caulifla kicks Goku toward the ground as he backflips across the ground.
"Oh no, you don't!" Caulifla flies at Goku. throwing more punches and kicks at him.
"Goku's getting pushed back!" Krillin says leaning against the guard rail from the stands.
"Continuous attacks!" Future Zeno comments. "Wow! Wow!" Zeno adds.
"Good going, Caulifla! Keep it up and knock him off!" Champa cheers.
"Take this!" Caulifla through a right kick but Goku countered by flipping over her. Goku then quickly kicked her with his right leg causing Caulifla tumbling across the ground slamming through a pillar of rock.
"What?!" Champa yelled out alarmed. Goku lands on the ground watching the dust clear to see Caulifla down on a left leg.
"Impossible" Caulifla lets out a deep breath.
"What's wrong? You can't beat me like that" Goku sternly tells her putting his hands on his hips.
"Bastard" Caulifla gets to her feet then leaps toward Goku. Peppa grits his teeth noticing Goku recovering his stamina at an alarming wait while in his base form he deflects all of Caulifla's punches and kicks.
"Why? Why can't I hit him?" Caulifla says frustratedly. Her anger grew more seeing Goku's smirk on his face. Goku suddenly caught her leg spinning her around then tossed her. Caulifla twisted in the air landing on the ground sliding back.
"Caulifla!" Cabba yells out from the stands leaning over the guard wall.
"What the hell is going on? How can she be losing?!" Champa looks on starting to sweat. He wasn't the only one, Peppa narrowed his eyes at Goku wondering the same thing. "Aren't Super Saiyans supposed to be more powerful?!" Champa demands to know.
"Martial arts isn't like street fighting" Whis buts in. "It's not like just blindly attacking will be effective" Whis also adds. "You calculate your distance, sense your opponents' rhythm and movements, find your opportunity, and take advantage of it. Only a true martial artist could do that" Whis pauses for a moment. "It's more than just being a simple brawler" Whis finishes.
"Too bad, Champa!" Beerus teases his brother. "Looks like Goku's in a different class then Caulifa" Beerus snickers looking over at him with Shin and Old kai also looking over to the Universe 6 stands. Champa gets mad standing to his feet.
"Change of plans! Forget about beating Son Goku! Just get out of there!" Champa orders.
"SHUT UP!" Caulifla yells out to Champa disrespectfully. Then throws a fast right, Goku ducks evading the attack. Goku times his attack and throws a fast left. Caulifla quickly back flips twisting around on the ground using her right hand then kicks Goku in the side causing him to spit up some vomit. Caulifla recovers to her feet throwing a hard right knocking Goku away. Universe 6 stands looks surprise on Caulifla sudden edge. Caulifla smirks with pride.
"Don't think that'll keep working on me!" Caulifla boasts.
"I suppose not" Goku smiles moving his fist across his chin. "Then how about this?!" Goku makes images of himself circling Caulifla. Kale looks over hear Peppa get to his feet with a furious look.
"How dare he copies my trick!" Peppa says scornfully his eyes flashing yellow.
"How many tricks have you stolen from other warriors?" Kale giggles. Peppa looks over to her giving her annoyed look then looks back over to the fight massaging his left arm still.
"Using Peppa's trick now?" Caulifla looked disgusted. Caulifla looks left then right choosing an image then throws a right handed punch at Goku whose image disappears. Caulifla looked shocked and surprised. Goku appears behind her striking Caulifla knocking her into another pillar.
"Dammit!" Caulifla looks over at Goku as the dust clears around her while she is on her bottom. Caulifla gets to her feet staggering abit. "Hey! Using funny attacks is cheating! Fight me fair and square!" Caulifla orders him. Goku smiles and crosses his arms.
"If you can't beat Peppa's Afterimage Technique, you'll never achieve Super Saiyan 3" Goku informs her.
"What?!" Caulifla grits her teeth in anger. She speeds forward throwing another punch but Goku disappears. Peppa grits his teeth seeing Goku using Instant Transmission all around Caulifla using another technique shared by the two saiyans.
"Another funny attack!" Caulifla said annoyed. Caulifla threw a series of punches and kicks only to have Goku disappear. Then Goku started to throw punches and kicks on Caulifla getting the edge on her. Peppa noticed Goku's power and stamina was returning at an alarming rate. Peppa could feel Goku's power increasing, leaving him further and further behind.
"See what happens when you don't listen to me?" Champa yells out. Caulifla throws a fast right, Goku counters by teleporting behind her but Caulifla has grown wise turning around catching Goku's fast left with her left palm.
"How's that?" Caulifla has a big grin across her face.
"She saw through Goku's attack!" Krillin yells out.
Caulifla and Goku jumped back then they leap at one another parrying one another's attacks across the stage. They slam their fists into each other. Yellow lighting streaks all around them.
"Unbelievable! Caulifla's is responding to Goku's movements!" Master Roshi said in a disturbed voice. "What astounding adaptability!" Master Roshi compliments disturbed tone.
"Super Saiyan or not, this is Goku she's fighting!" Krillin says with utter confidence.
"Which means like Peppa she had this potential within her from the start" Whis compares the two. "By fighting Goku, that power is steadily being unleashed" Whis looks on impressed.
"What do you mean?! You said she was just a brawler!" Beerus stands up to Whis.
"Oh? Did I say that?" Whis points at his chin tilting his head away.
Caulifla and Goku go back and forth parrying each others attacks then Goku starts to use Instant Transmission to sneak attack but Caulifla counters by using Instant Transmission herself to everyone's surprise. The two go back and forth parrying one another's attacks using Instant Transmission.
"Keep it up Caulifla!" Cabba cheers from the stands with fervent zeal.
"There, do it! Pummel Son Goku!" Champa cheers.
"Oh, Champa, didn't you mention a change of plans?" Vados teases.
"Adapting to the situation. That's one of my virtues" Champa crosses his arms and closes his eyes.
"Some might call it haphazardness" Vados points out.
Goku throws another fast right, but Caulifla evades and counters with punching him in the gut then roundhouse kicking him away. Goku slides back across the ground coming to a stop.
"Don't you think you should transform now? You might lose before you go full strength" Caulifla taunts him.
"Your right, I guess I will" Goku smiles at her. Goku holds up his fists his yell echoing across the stage as he transforms into a Super Saiyan 2.
"Don't you wanna go Super Saiyan 3?" Caulifla tries to bait him.
"I haven't recovered enough stamina for that yet" Goku replies not taking the bait.
"Don't regret it later on" Caulifla smiles. Peppa watches with jealousy. He wanted to be the one to fight Caulifla, he wanted to be the one to teach her how to become a mortal with the power of a god. Instead she settles for wanting to obtain Super Saiyan 3 from Goku. This infuriated Peppa, Kale knew the look on Peppa's face right away for she had the same look when they fought Goku earlier.
Caulifla and Goku go blow for blow but after a few rounds Goku knocks her away. Caulifla was completely shocked at the difference in power and mastery of the Super Saiyan 2 form compared to Goku and hers.
"Is this really the same Super Saiyan 2 power?!" Caulifla dug her feet into the ground trying to slow herself down sliding toward the edge of the stage.
"Sis!" Kale cries out with worried.
"I wont lose!" Caulifla yells out coming to a stop. Caulifla holds up her right hand with a glowing fierce red energy calling out "Crush Cannon!" three powerful ki blasts shoot out toward Goku. Goku's eyes widen as an explosion goes off and dust is thrown in the air.
"Goku!" Krillin cries out. Peppa looks up getting really tired of Krillin's overly excited outbursts. Universe 7 stands there in shock in their seats. When the smoke clears Goku stands there with his arms up. Goku lowers his arms with a serious look on his face.
"I wasn't expecting all that" Goku says in a dark voice. "I didn't think you had a killer attack like that" Goku pauses reevaluating his tactics, realizing Caulifa is learning as she fights.
"You're not the only one with cards up their sleeve" Caulifla snickers at him.
"Well then, can you keep up in round 2?" Goku smiles at her.
"Bring it on! I'm going all out!" Caulifla boasts.
"Then I'm going to get fired up to!" Goku warns her.
They charge one another with joyous glee. They parry one anothers attacks moving about the stage mirroring one anothers move like a loving couple on the dance floor picking up momentum and rhythm getting faster and faster.
"They're getting even faster" Future Zeno says in an excited tone. "Yeah, they're getting faster!" Zeno adds in.
Kale watches with concern as the fight shifts back and forth between Caulifla and Goku's favor. Caulifla knocks Goku away and hurls a Crush Cannon attack at him. Goku quickly counters using a regular ki blast.
"They're both amazing!" Future Zeno says outloud. "Amazing! Amazing!" Zeno adds.
"I know I told you that you'll need to master Super Saiyan 2 first, but this is beyond what I imagined. Not bad, Caulifla" Goku compliments her.
"When I'm fighting, I feel power bubbling up from inside!" Caulifla tells Goku. "I want to beat you quickly and become Super Saiyan 3!" Caulifla says in an overly excited tone. Goku gives her a wicked smile as they charge one another attacking but ends with Goku knocking her away.
"Not yet! I haven't begun to show you my power yet!" Goku yells out powering-up trying to obtain his higher power levels from earlier while Caulifla follows suit powering-up to a new levels for herself.
"I wont lose!" Caulifla yells out.
"Just how far are they going to go?" Krillin wonders outloud.
"There's no telling who's going to win!" Master Roshi comments. Peppa just shakes his head. He knew from Goku's earlier power levels and what Caulifla showed so far what the outcome of this fight would be.
"Amazing! I didn't realize Caulifla had such power!" Cabba cheers.
Caulifla rapid fires Crush Cannon to which Goku counters by rapid fire ki blast to block. A bright light engulfs the stage spreading a powerful gust interrupting other fight going on around the stage. Katoplesa and Kakunsa parry one anothers attack jumping away putting their fight on hold as they brace themselves against the force of wind and bright light. It was a vain effort the force of wind is to strong as katoplesa and Kakunsa get blown away.
Caulifla and Goku pace around one another like boxers. Each punch creating a vortex of power distorting the air around the stage. Katoplesa and Kakunsa get back to their feet only to get blown away again.
"Take this!" Caulifla's voice echoes throughout the stage. Caulifla throws another Crush Cannon at him. Goku leaps over it then jumps at her kicking her away into a pillar of rocks. Caulifla shot through the smoke like a bat out of hell. Caulifla and Goku slam their fists together releasing a shockwave throughout the stage destroying surrounding pillars.
"Unbelievable! So this is a fight between two Super Saiyan 2" Krillin says in a shocking voice. Goku and Caulifla kept going back completely self-absorbed into one another. Kale watches standing next to Peppa who was still leaning against the pillar. He uses his right hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Sis looks like she is having fun" Kale points out.
"She is Kale…" Peppa pauses watching them fight. "Where saiyans we love to fight and we get stronger the more powerful the opponent. Which makes our race the most superior throughout the entire multiverse" Peppa says in a depressed tone.
Goku and Caulifla keep throwing punches then Caulifla holds out her hand to use her Crush Cannon at point blank catching Goku off guard but it was a slight of hand.
"What?!" Goku says startled.
"Got you!" Caulifla gives Goku a serious look. Caulifla punches Goku in the face. Goku goes tumbling back into a pillar. "Ha! How's that?!" Caulifla rejoices. Goku struggles to get to his feet.
"I can't believe you've gotten this strong, Caulifla" Goku compliments her. "You might just go beyond Super Saiyan 3" he adds. Goku looks past Caulifla to eye Kale and Peppa. Goku assume given Peppa's weakened state he would not offer much of a challenge and in Goku's mind as much as he dislikes Peppa he wants to fight him at his best. Goku centers his eyes on Kale. "Kale, what about you?" Goku calls out to her, this catches Kale and Peppa by surprise.
"Huh? Me?" Kale just points at herself blinking.
"Come on, Kale! Let's become three together!" Caulifla signals Kale to come join them. Kale looks over to Peppa who signals her to go and that he'll be alright and that they can have their fight later.
"Yes!" Kale says excitedly.
"Th-that moron! He went and called Kale into this!" Beerus gives a shocked and dumbfounded look.
"Great! With two of them we can win!" Champa is in a zealous uproar. "Kale, Caulifla! You two knock Son Goku off!" Champa cheers. Kale leaps over to Caulifla's right hand side.
"C'mon. Feel free to come at me" Goku taunts them.
"Don't hold back for my sake. Fight as hard as you like" Caulifla encourages Kale.
"Yes!" Kale smiles with a bloodlust look Peppa's seen in Garlik one too many times. Peppa smiles wickedly. "I get to fight with Sis and Bro will watch us. This is my chance to show them all that I'm a saiyan to!" Kale thinks to herself. "Me. With Sis…" Kale smiles with a crazed look in her eyes.
"Let's go, Kale!" Caulifla encourages her.
"Yes!" Kale replies, then transforms into a muscular Super Saiyan. The girls take their offensive stance and Goku takes a defensive stance smiling. Caulifla charges Goku in a frontal attack. Kale leaps to Goku's blind side hitting from his side while he is deflecting Caulifla's attacks.
"Nice!" Caulifla compliments Kale.
"Yes!" Kale responds.
They both charge Goku who is sliding back firing ki blast but Caulifla and Kale easily dodge flying through the air toward Goku. They split off then attack Goku from on each side knocking him back. Kale gives chase after Goku.
"I'm fighting together with Sis!" Kale looks overly excited. Goku and Kale throw punches at one another with Kale getting the best of him then leaping out of the way. Goku's eyes widen seeing Caulifla fires her Crush Cannon. Kale lands behind Goku striking him in the back with her right leg. Goku goes flying into the Crush Cannon attack creating a mid-air explosion.
"Goku!" Krillin yells out from the stands. Peppa smiles wickedly hearing Goku's cries was music to his ears. The dust clears with Goku lowering his arms with a smile.
"That one hurt a bit" Goku lowers his hands. Caulifla and Kale just smile back excitedly.
"One-on-one is fun, but fighting together isn't bad either" Caulifla cracks her neck.
"Goku is getting pushed back!" Shin points out. "I knew taking on two Super Saiyans was an absurd idea!" Shin complains.
"But that's how Goku works" Krillin scolds Shin. "He always pushes himself to the edge to further himself. That is who Goku is" Krillin reminds everyone. Peppa looks up catching that last bit looking back over at the fight between Goku vs. Caulifla and Kale.
"Do it! Just a little more!" Champa encourages the girls. "Knock Son Goku off!" Champa demands.
"What?!" Beerus yells out across the stands to his brother Champa.
"Great! Defeat Son Goku!" Champa stands up fists out cheering and giving out orders.
"Lets go Kale!" Caulifla orders then charges Goku on his right hand side.
"Yes!" Kale replies attacking Goku on his left hand side. Goku blocks their attacks skillfully using his right and left forearm.
"It's two-on-one! They can't lose" Champa grits his teeth. Caulifla and Kale both attack Goku from the front pushing him back.
"Goku isn't losing!" Shin smiles.
"Impossible! We've got two Super Saiyans!" Champa was furious. Goku was dodging their attacks and landing some solid shots on both the girls. Master Roshi stands up looking over to Tien.
"Could it be that thing?" Master Roshi asks. Krillin and Tien look over to Roshi.
"What are you talking about?" Krillin inquires.
"You know. The thing he did when he fought Jiren" Master Roshi reminds them.
"You mean Ultra Instinct?!" Beerus chims in.
"That's not possible" Whis chims in putting an end to everyone's speculations. "Ultra Instinct is extremely difficult to achieve, even for a God of Destruction" Whis adds. "Not even Goku would able to achieve it that easily" Whis finishes up. Beerus lets out a sigh. "Goku's senses are being sharpened by Caulifla and Kale's attacks" Whis narrows his eyes then looks over to see Korn evading all of Toppo's attacks with his eyes closed then knocks Toppo away. "However, that saiyan from Universe 2…" Whis trials off. The others look down to see Korn using his senses to evade Toppo's Justice Flash. Goku continues to dodge, parrying attacks and striking the girls as they charge him.
"Let's do it, Kale!" Caulifla yells out to her. They both strike Goku at the same time knocking him away. Caulifla fires her Crush Cannon attack and Kale fires a green ki blast. Both beams fly toward Goku who powers up blocking both attacks with his aura. There was another massive explosion that surprised Caulifla and Kale. when the dust cleared Goku stood there with golden aura around him, lighting flowing around his body, and his long golden spiky hair down to his waist.
"This is thanks to you. Fightin' you, I feel unbelievable power boiling' up from inside" Goku tells them in a dark voice.
"So that's Super Saiyan 3…" Peppa whispers to himself narrowing his eyes, now having seen Super Saiyan 1-3, God, and Blue/Rose committed to his memory and how to transform into them.
"Wh-what amazing power!" Caulifa gives Goku a surprised look. "This is Super Saiyan 3?!" Caulifla just stood impressed. Kale stood their in shocked. Suddenly Goku powers back down to Super Saiyan 2.
"Huh?" Caulifla just stands there blinking.
"I got carried away and went to three, but I haven't recovered the stamina to keep this form" Goku explains to them.
"Oh come on! Are you kidding me?!" Caulifla says disappointedly.
"Sorry my bad" Goku robs the back of his head with his right hand.
"But, we got to see that power" Caulifla thinks about that form fondly. "Beyond Super Saiyan 2. Super Saiyan 3 were gonna beat you and become that form" Caulifla smiles. "Both of us together!" Caulifla looks over to Kale fondly.
"Sis..." Kale looks over to Caulifla. Kale thinks about how strong Peppa and Goku have gotten during the course of the tournament. "I'll get stronger too" Kale looks down at her right hand fist clenching it tightly. "I'll get stronger, and with Sis…" a green aura appeared around Kale as she powers-up.
"Is she going to…?" Krillin starts to panic thinking back to Kale's last horrific rampage.
"No, Kale! If you increase your energy anymore…" Cabba doesn't even get to finish his sentence when he and the others feel the increasing power. Peppa had a serious look on his face. Sadness crept in Peppa's heart thinking back to Garlik, he teammate, his friend, his rival, and finally his enemy…
"Kale!" Caulifla yells out. Rock and debris fly everywhere. Goku swats the rock away with a dark and serious look thinking back to the horror that was Broly. When Kale was done powering-up she was in her Legendary Super Saiyan form. A white-eyed, hulking psychopathic monster of the saiyan race.
"Kale!" Cabba tries to call out to her once more.
"That's the form from below!" Shin reminded everyone.
"That's Universe 6's Legendary Super Saiyan!" Vegeta scuffs with his arms crossed sitting in the stands.
"She's gone berserk again!" Beerus said annoyed.
Goku just smiles taking a defensive stance as Kale stares him down. As the fight between the three heated up Kale's wish to become stronger drove her berserk again. Will Goku be able to stop Kale? Only 22 minutes remain...
