Hello it me im back! Ohh boy, if you were waiting for the action to begin, then you'll love this next chapter. this one marks the begging of the actual tournament. Quick side note: Im planning on not covering the entire tournament, as that would take way to long to rewrite, so ill only be focusing on Gogeta and vegito: specifically Gogeta. In case it wasn't clear from the last chapter, Gogeta will be essentially taking gokus place in the tournament, and vegito will take vegetas place. Due to this though and the severe lack of vegeta moments until the end of the tournament, so there will be a brief absence of vegito. sorry! anyways, this chapter will focus on both brothers briefly, before breaking off once again. Somewhere in this chapter, I actually lefty two hints to gogetas past and one partial hint for vegito. what does that mean, you ask? well, read on and find out!

"The tournament of power will commence at once. but first, some words from zeno." The great priests words rung throughout the world of void, reaching the different warriors who were now all present to fight for their survival. at present, zeno was going to give a 'speech'.

"Fight hard! Fight fair! And above all else, make it fun to watch!" The twin zenos yelled down, taking turns with phrases, shouting the last phrase. With the end of his speech, the great priest signaled with a wave of his hand, marking the beginning of the tournament. Immediately, multiple universes shot off to try and get early eliminations, using the element of surprise. One universe, in particular, were looking for certain warriors.

Far off in universe 7s corner, frieza blasted off, intent to have some 'fun' with the tournament, accompanied in this mindset by two androids and one cocky saiyan, who all took off to quench their thirst for battle. The leader of this universe was struggling to keep his universe in line, calling out to the quickly disappearing warriors.

"Give it up, gohan. We expected this from them. I'm just surprised one saiyan stayed." Master Roshi stated, intent on helping the teams strategist sane, as they needed him with the stakes this high. It wasn't a lie either, he truly did expect everyone to take off like that. One saiyan, however, stood still with his eyes closed, relaxed, as if he was already claiming victory. Then, without warning, a dense, yet calm, orange aura surrounded the saiyan, as he began to walk forwards towards the ensuing chaos. His posture was strong, but loose, as if he were waiting for something. Just before he as out of sight, however, Master roshi saw three wolves of different primary colourings strike the unguarded saiyan, throwing up a huge cloud of dust. When the dust settled, master roshi was shocked at what he saw. there, having not moved an inch, the saiyan stood, strong as ever. His aura flexed, sending the three attackers flying, before roshis vision was cut off.

Gogeta was as calm asa ever facing the trio de dangers, not worried and patiently waiting for his brother to show up. after all, he needed him so they could both show there strength to the other universes and secure their positions as powerhouses. However, as usual, he was late. But, to his credit, he then showed up with the rest of universe 9 in tail.

"I figured defeating all of their universe would be better than just the trio de dangers." Vegito said, looking over to his brother with a smirk, proud that he was able to lead all of their universe to him.

"Well, your not wrong. Lets take out the trash, then." The two brothers looked at each other, before they closed their eyes, focusing. Then, in the next instant, they were in the middle of universe 9s offense. The two together serving as an unstoppable offense and defense, perfectly covering each other, and throwing in combination attacks as well, catching their opponents off guard. However, universe had 10 warriors, and were quickly overwhelming the brothers, much to their surprise. Just as their attackers began to overtake them, the dogpile of warriors exploded with a golden light, sending the brutish universe flying in its entirety, as the two brothers turned super saiyan, their hair waving calmly as their energy was freely flowing around them, their eyes a piercing teal. Universe 9 had little time to prepare for the one-sided offense the two brothers immediately threw their way, catching them all off guard. By this time, some warriors around them had taken interest in the two brothers, and had decided to watch in awe. Soon, universe 9 found themselves on the edge of the stage, cornered by the two saiyans they had foolishly engaged.

"No! This can't be happening! This is not how we will go down! Universe 9 will survive! We MUST survive!" A blue wolf man, likely the leader of the team shouted, as he began charging ki in his hands, quickly followed by his entire universe, pouring all their energy into the attack.

"That... isn't how this was supposed to go..." Gogeta stated, sighing, before turning to his brother.

"Looks like we gotta deal with this. Hey, at least this'll build up our reputation, right?" Vegito stated, smirking at his brother, before throwing his arms out and charging a blue yellow light in each hand, preparing to counter the blast that would soon be sent their way.

Sighing, Gogeta threw his own hands back behind him, charging his own hands, charging greenish-blue energy instead, seeing as his brother said 'our' reputation.

"TAKE THIS UNIVERSE 7! HAAAAHHHHH!" The blue wolf screamed, hurtling his ki into a beam which soon unified with his teammates, creating a massive energy beam, headed straight for the brothers. The brothers, of course, responded in kind wit their own combination attack.

"FINAL KAMEHAMEHA!" Vegito yelled, pulling his attack into the classic turtle hermit stance, before lancing the energy forward in a blue and yellow beam, headed straight for a collision with their focus universes desperate attempt to finish off the brothers. Next to him, his brother mirrored his movements with his own attack.

"SHINING KAMEHAMEHA!" Gogeta yelled out with his brother, forcing his own ki into the classic turtle hermit stance, before thrusting his arms forward, as well as his attack, moving side-by-side with his brothers beam.

The two Beams from the saiyans fought for dominance, before spiraling together, creating one insanely powerful blast before colliding with universe 9s blast. The brothers, however, underestimated how much the universe threw into their attack, feeling their attack being pushed back. By this point, the whole fighting stage had stopped to watch the display of pure raw power that was the beam struggle. The original clash of the beams had even sent some unlucky warriors flying off the stage and to the benches.

Just as the brothers were about to be overtaken by the beam from the 10 warriors together, they erupted in a blinding golden light, which caused their hair to stand on end and bio electricity to be thrown everywhere, colliding with warriors and sending even more off the stage. with that, the two brothers attack quickly engulfed universe 9s warriors in their entirety, sending them flying off the stage.

The two brothers powered down, looking around at the shocked and terrified expressions on everyones faces. even the pride troopers were at a loss for words at the insane show of strength these two had just displayed.

"Every warrior from universe 9 has been eliminated. therefore, universe 9... will be erased." The great priest announced, drawing all of the warriors attention to the fading universe on the bench, before being left with nothing. Every universe, every warrior, was shocked. disturbed. scared. and, above all else, driven to not befall the same fate as the unfortunate universe they had just witnessed the erasure of. Soon, however, the fighting had commenced again, with even more ferocity.

"well, I'd say that pretty much covers one universe. I'll go off and handle the rest of my targets. and YOU have to train a certain saiyan." vegito said, teasing his brother before taking off to look for his next target. Gogeta, however, simply stood there, waiting. And, just as he thought, he heard a feminie voice behind him.

"Hey you! Gogeta, was it? What was that power you and your brother used back there?" A familiar voice rang out behind him, which Gogeta couldn't help but chuckle at.

"right on cue." He said to himself, turning around to face the source. "Its called super saiyan 2. Its the power that comes to a saiyan when they master super saiyan and push themselves further." He calmly stated to the girl, staring straight at her. Her face, as expected, lit up.

"Really?! You mean I can get that power?!" She shouted, running up and grabbing the front of his vest, holding him in place.

"Yes. Why don't you try it for yourself?" Gogeta said, already certain of the response he'd get.

Caulifla started powering up, searching for the tingling and bringing it out, turning super saiyan. Then, she pushed harder, trying to fish out the power she was sure she had in her. She dove deep inside her, finding the spark she was searching for, and pulling it out, erupting in golden light and blue bio electricity, her hair standing on end. She looked up with amazement in her eyes at the saiyan male in front of her, wonder filling her features. Gogeta smirked at her before he was immediately erupted in golden light, his hair, however, flowing slowly, only being in the first super saiyan state, lowering his power to match hers, seeing as his power was still too much for her to handle. Caulifla, however, couldn't wait to test her new power and immediately charged the man, ecstatic about how much raw power was flowing through her. He contested her strike, pushing her back, and immediately rushing in for a knee, but was met with her own knee. He, however, expected this, and spun around on his heel, throwing the girl away with a roundhouse kick, flying back at her with a ki blast in his hand, throwing it down to create a smoke screen, engaging her in it, obscuring kales vision, much to the dismay of the saiyan girl ,as she had been watching as this man quickly taught his sis how to get to the next level of saiyan potential.

In the smoke, caulifla was currently blocking a barrage of strikes from the saiyan male before her, caught off guard with a point-blank ki blast. she didn't understand how he had slowly over powered her! She could feel more power in his strikes as their battle progressed, and not just that. he was getting faster! then, in an instant, he was behind her, and sent her flying to kales feet, bruised, beaten and barely conscious.

"I expected more from the prodigy caulifla. I guess I raised my expectations too high. Your just another weakling." Gogeta calmly stated, walking towards the two girls, spitting out his words, which ahd their desired effect, with caulifla getting up and charging him. He, however, simply threw her back at kales feet, the timid saiyan in shock at her sis' current state.

"Sis! are you ok?!" The saiyan exclaimed, panicking at what she should do about the approaching male.

"I-I'm fine, Kale. J-just a little bruised, that's all..." Caulifla weakly answered, barely conscious. In truth, she was anything but fine. This guy wasn't just strong... he was insane! The power gap became quickly evident to the girl, for the first time frightened of her current opponent and what he was clearly capable of. What was she thinking, challenging him?! She saw how strong he was! She FELT how strong he was, but she was too focused on the form he was in to notice this, of course.

"You fought well. Reaching super saiyan 2 is a feat not many can say they have accomplished. Now, however, its time to end this." His words came with praise, but caulifla ultimately knew what they really were, a good bye. Gogeta formed a ki blast in his hand, aiming it at her, prepared to finish the fight. However, behind Caulifla, kale was infuriated. This man came in, took sis' trust and is now about to eliminate her just like that?! No.. she wouldn't allow it... She couldn't allow it! She would stop him... at any cost!

"AAAAAAAAAAGH!" kale bellowed, a sickly green engulfing the small saiyan girl, nearly blinding all who witnessed this terrifying transformation. When the light finally cleared, in place of the small, timid saiyan stood a massive hulking creature intent on avenging her sis in battle, charging Gogeta, forcing him on the defenses. Gogeta responded by quickly turning super saiyan 2, and even fought on par with the young saiyan, trying to subdue her. Unfortunately, she didn't listen to reason, instead taking advantage of his holding back an sending him flying, before letting out another roar and charging other fighters, knocking them off one by one. Her charge was tearing up the stage, creating massive craters and hills of mass, effectively cutting off vision. Her rampage caught all of her opponents off guard, even eliminating one pride trooper.

Caulifla lay, in amazement and pain at her prodigy, before Gogeta appeared beside her. "So, you r back to finish me off then, bastard?" she spat at him, secretly amazed he was still breathing after that blow.

"No. I'm here to help you. You need to talk to kale, help her regain consciousness and control her power." Came the answer, catching the smaller saiyan off guard. She reluctantly accepted his help, but one problem still stood:

"I can't move after that fight. How am I gonna talk to her?" The saiyan questioned, intrigued on the older fighters solution. Maybe he had an energy transmitting technique? or maybe he could teleport her to kale?

Then, without warning, Gogeta picked Caulifla up, holding her in a position that was common for newly weds as oppose to enemies. "W-what the hell do you think your doing!?" She shouted, embarrassed by the sudden actions of the saiyan male.

"You wanted to know how I'd get you to kale. This is my solution." his answer came, calm as ever, as if the situation they were in was any other.

"Put me down, now!" Caulifla demanded, yelling like a little kid.

"Stop being immature. You friend needs you right now, and you can't move. now just let me carry you. I'll focus on getting close, you just get through to her." He stated, before leaping off after kales path of destruction, earning a surprised squeak from the saiyan in his arms. Despite the fact he was leaping around, Caulifla felt quite comfortable, almost safe in the mysterious saiyans arms, as she watched him tracking kale expertly. Her arms had inadvertedly wrapped around his neck, trying to gain extra comfort, and succeeding. She began to doze off, when she heard his voice call her name, pulling her out of her daze.

"Your friend is up ahead. You ready?" He questioned the female, earning a drowsy nod in return. He quickly jumped beside kale, who was currently unleashing a barrage of ki blasts in all directions. He quickly deployed his vanish guard, protecting the two from any damage, as caulifla spoke.

"Kale! KALE! Look at me!" This yell caused the massive saiyan to turn towards the source of that voice which was familiar, though she didn't know why. It sounded... soothing. "You need to calm down, kale. Its me, caulifla. You recognize me, don't you kale...?" The voice spoke softer, causing memories to flood in, memories of the one named caulifla. Her friend... her... sis...

"Cau... lifla...?" The monster repeated, reaching out slowly towards the voice, slowly calming down.

"that's right, kale. its me. And I'm so proud of you. You've done so much without me. But its time to stop. We gotta leave some fun for everyone else, right?" The voice spoke again, finishing off with a mocking tone that only belonged to one saiyan. Her sis. She slowly reached out to her, vision slowly returning as she did, seeing her face, as her hand met cauliflas own.

"I-It is you... sis... I... I..." the saiyan girl exclaimed, distraught at what she just did, bursting into tears. caulifla simply stroked her prodigies hair slowly, calming her down.

"You did nothing wrong, kale. Hell, I wish I could do that!" She exclaimed, looking at her prodigy with a look only one person could produce, causing kale to start laughing. when she finally calmed down, she noticed someone was holding caulifla, and, looking up at who that was, saw a face she had hoped she would never see again. The ice cold glare of the saiyan who put her sis in this condition. The one who caused her to transform. the man she had quickly grown to hate. Then, to her surprise, his features softened.

"You did well, kale. your even able to control your power." He spoke, not in an angry or superior tone like before, but more like a caring guardian, praising her for her abilities.

"Universe 6 warrior kale." A low voice came, slowly walking towards the three, making their presence known. "For what you did to the stage and the fact you eliminated a pride trooper, You must be eliminated." By now, the voice was revealed to be the warrior from universe 11, Jiren, the supposed 'strongest in the universe'. And he had come for kale. Much to her surprise, however, she felt caulifla passed into her arms, and saw Gogeta stand in front of her, in a defensive manner.

"Leave them be, Jiren. I set her off, its me you want." He spoke with that commanding tone again, although, hearing it used to defend her made kale feel... warm... as if with this saiyan in between the two, he would protect them both. And, just for a second, she forgot where she was. she was, however, snapped out of her daze by his voice, this time directed at her.

"Take caulifla and find a safe place. I've given her some of my energy, but it will take some time to take effect. You two sit there and recover your stamina." He spoke with assertion, making sure kale understood.

"What about you? You don't have to fight him on my behalf!" She pleaded, as her new mentor prepared to face the strongest fighter in the tournament.

"Don't worry about me. This is not where my story ends. Now, go." With that kale took off running with caulifla, avoiding fighters until she found a safe cave to sit in and heal.

"I will Agno ledge your selfless nature, warrior of universe 7. however, you stand no chance against me." Jiren spoke, asserting his place as the dominant force between the two of them.

"I cannot. I'm still needed. I will not allow myself to fall to the likes of you." Came gogetas calm response, not at all shaken by the substantial power difference between the two of them.

"So be it. Prepare yourself." came Jirens answer and, a split second later, had a fist to gogetas face, which did nothing to his surprise, until he exploded with a golden light, bio electricity arcing around them as gogetas hair stood on end, marking his assention into super saiyan 2. The sudden burst of energy sent the pride trooper flying back, but he quickly recovered and flew back at the saiyan. as the fight progressed, Jiren was noticeably gaining the edge, and so Gogeta burst into the next level, having long mastered the form to use it with as much efficiency as its predecessors, his hair growing longer to complete the transformation, his eyebrows remaining the same to mark the his completion of super saiyan 3.

"The real fight begins now." Gogeta announced, before charging Jiren again, but to no avail. with a final strike, Jiren sent the saiyan spiraling back, barely able to stand.

"Fine. I didn't want to have to use this Jiren, but you leave me no choice." Gogeta jumped up onto a tall pillar, raising his arms up, a small blue ball forming. "Will you avoid this attack, Jiren, or face this head on?" Gogeta questioned the pride trooped, curious of his motives. when he got no answer, he assumed that the warrior would tank his ultimate attack. Seeing his attack, his universe gave him their aid in the form of their energy, contributing to the spirit bomb. When it was finally ready, Gogeta hurled it down to Jiren, pouring everything into it. The pride trooper simply pushed it back, which was met with a super saiyan response, seeing as jiren had literally knocked him out of the ascended state earlier. however, the force didn't last long before the spirit bomb was once again pushed towards Gogeta, which met another golden offense, this time with bio electricity aswell, which, while proving to be a better challenge, was still not enough. Then, in a final attempt to push Jiren back, Gogeta turned super saiyan three, pouring everything into his offense, but again, to no avail, as the force between Jiren and Gogeta compressed the spirit bomb, creating a black ball of condensed pure ki, which with an invisible strike from jiren, Gogeta fell inot, having run out of stamina.

The spirit bomb exploded, enveloping the area around the fight, even forcing Jiren to retreat. Time seemed to stand still, as all warriors looked on at the supposed death of one of the greatest warriors in the tournament. Even the god themselves seemed to be in shock.

Then, out of nowhere, a massive white light enveloped the crater, causing all who witnessed to shield there eyes. In all the chaos, all that happen only the simple words from a certain cat god were heard:

"He's coming."

/

Whew! This was a long one! I got through a lot in this chapter, and even a bit of fluff, although only minor, considering this is a tournament. I only really changed the events after the caulifla and Gogeta fight, and I cut the Jiren Gogeta fight down further than I thought I would, but I like how this one went! Now, to explain a couple things: First of all, Gogeta. Why didn't he go SSG against Jiren? The short answer is he couldn't. I'll get more into that later. Second: Why was kale able to control her beserker form so soon? I just wanted to write it like that, as it will actually help kefla in the future when shes introduced. Finally: Why was Gogeta such a jerk to Caulifla? Well, unlike Goku, Gogeta understands that the super saiyan transformation stems from raw emotion, which actually helped make cauliflas super saiyan 2 stronger, which is something I need from her for the future to make sense. That's all for now! Thanks for reading my fanfic and don't forget to review, as they actually do help me get these chapters out sooner!
