Unlimited Power: The Final Opponent
Chapter 8: Boundries Broken
The Saiyan and Unlimited stood there for some time, staring each other down. All over the Earth, the people watched this event take place, and soon realized that Goku would be their last hope for Earth. All the Z-fighters looked on at Goku, wondering if even he was strong enough to defeat this challenger. Although Goku had proven his strength against the strongest and most dreaded forces in the universe, they all weren't sure, as this new opponent was by far the most powerful being they had ever fought. Goku knew this as well, but was dead set on winning this fight, knowing that unless he did, the Earth and all its people would be gone.
"You're a threat to the Earth and all life. You simply take the lives of others who have done nothing wrong, and you destroy without reason. Well, I'm not going to stand by and let it happen. While I have any strength left in me, I will fight you, and I promise, I will stop you," Goku told Unlimited.
"You, the savior of the universe and especially of this planet, have had adventures most people only dream of having. You have stopped the evil of many tyrants, thwarted the plans of all the creations of evil, and destroyed all that lived to hurt. No matter what you did, you did it for the good of others. But now, you must deal with me," Unlimited poetically said.
The two stared at each other again, and Unlimited said, "Now, it's time. The battle for the fate of this world begins now."
The two powers then began to power up. Goku began to increase his powers drastically, his energy soon pushing him into Super Saiyan, and then to 2. Soon, he hit as high a level as he could without going into the next level of Super Saiyan, and then he stood ready to combat the threat to Earth. Then, Unlimited smirked again and said, "Let the world's fate begin."
The two then disappeared, and such a rocking explosion came from above. The Z-fighters looked up and had no luck of watching the two titanic powers fight in the sky. However, Unlimited would take the advantage, as his strength obviously passed that of a Super Saiyan 2. Goku took a swing at Unlimited but missed, then dematerialized and tried to kick him from behind. Unlimited turned and blocked it, and then blocked the next punch that Goku threw. He would continue to fight Goku, breezing through the fight at first, and then the two gold colored fighters separated from each other to catch their breaths.
"Your powers are incredible. You are no doubt stronger than Buu," Goku panted.
"Hmm, well then, why can't you stop me? You defeated Buu," Unlimited replied.
Goku looked at him with determination, and then launched towards him again. Another kick, this time, got Unlimited right in the chest. Unlimited returned with a punch to the face, making Goku back up. Then the two, just like Unlimited vs. Gohan, strung together many attacks, each time dematerializing to dodge the attack. As they went at it again, the others prayed silently for Goku to win, while Chichi at CC began to yell, "That's it Goku! Show that jerk who's boss! Yeah! Come on!"
She would dance around as Goku continued to fight, barely staying on screen as the two fighters duked it out in the middle of the sky.
Goku then dematerialized away from Unlimited, then put his hands together and said, "Kaaa-meee-haaa-meee...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The blue blast shot from Goku's hands and rocketed towards Unlimited, who stood ready to defend against the somewhat overused attack. But, unlike every attempt to get through the attack, he drew his arm back and deflected the blast, giving up on the weak acting. Goku, however, seemed to expect this, and simply looked indifferent. As the blast continued off into the distance, disappearing beyond the horizon, the Z-fighters felt the small quake from the blast, which, thankfully, didn't hurt anyone. Goku then floated a bit closer to Unlimited as he regained his energy.
"Well, it seems that your level of power is not enough to stop me. It's too bad you don't have anything else," Unlimited said, thinking the battle was all his.
Goku, of course, grinned at his opponent's lack of knowledge, and then began to descend, along with Unlimited.
"Well, I'd hate to disappoint you. I'm not one to let an opponent down for a challenge," Goku replied.
"Then you do have another level of power? Is it that same Super Saiyan 3 from earlier?" Unlimited questioned.
"Yeah, but I have to warn you. I know it a lot better than those two do," Goku warned.
"Well then, you wouldn't mind showing me it then, just so I don't wonder what you had stored away."
Goku chuckled, the little smile showing through on his face, and the announcer said, "Now it looks like the fighter Goku is getting ready to bring out a special technique! Will it be enough to stop Unlimited, who has defeated each of his opponents so far?"
Goku then became serious again, and then his energy began to rise.
"Alright, now we're in business! There's no way dad can lose to that guy in Super Saiyan 3!" Gohan exclaimed.
Vegeta looked at Gohan again with irritation, basically for the whole prospect of Goku being able to achieve that level.
Then, the ground began to shake even harder, and Goku then yelled, "This is for the Earth! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
As Goku powered up once again, Unlimited waited, his arms crossed. The others watched as Goku changed his appearance slowly, his hair growing longer, and his eyebrows began to shrink. Soon, Goku's strength began to cause major cracks to appear in the ground, as the crater now beneath him became larger and larger. He continued to yell as he made the ground quake, his hair now incredibly long, and his eyebrows gone, his eyes now even more threatening now. Unlimited looked at him apprenhensively, wondering if Goku really was stronger than Gotenks, and then began to become nervous as the pure Saiyan's energy kept increasing. Soon, Goku hit the previous pinnacle of his energy, and continued up, his training having helped his powers jump to new heights. All the Z-fighters looked at Goku in awe, shocked at how powerful he really was. Hercule, in the meantime, was trying to stay on his feet with the quaking ground, remembering the fight between Goku and Buu, and was terrified to see a battle like this again. The people of Earth then saw the true champion of fighting appear in front of their very eyes after one final bright flash of light. Everyone had to shield their eyes, even Unlimited, who was very surprised at the amount of energy he was generating now. The Saiyan stood straight up, his aura pulsing in its gold color, his hair long and sleek, gold itself, and his eyes, which now lacked eyebrows, were intimidating. Chichi was especially nervous at what happened to her husband and asked, "Is that another form of his?"
Having been passed out the first time Goku used this form, Bulma informed her, "Yep, that's Super Saiyan 3!"
Chichi continued to stare until finally yelled, "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THAT'S RIGHT GOKU, YOU TAKE THAT SORRY BOY DOWN!"
Back at the battlefield, Goku looked solemnly but with a grin at Unlimited, and said, "Well, is this good enough?"
Unlimited stood there, his face contorted into worry, and then clenched his fists, regretful about pushing Goku into this level. Unlimited then, without warning, blasted at Goku and punched him square in the face. Goku seemed to be hurt by this, and then the others became worried that he may yet be too strong for Goku to handle. When Goku looked at Unlimited, however, the smile on his face revealed that there was no damage inflicted.
Unlimited stared fearfully at Goku and jumped back, as Goku said, "Well, I'm surprised, I really thought that you were going to be a challenge."
"This is cool, daddy has this in the bag," Goten chirped. Trunks agreed reluctantly, having seen Vegeta's scrutinizing eye. Videl was also incredibly amazed at the sight and said, "Wow, he's got strength to boot against Unlimited! Looks like the battle's won!"
But before any of them could continue the celebrations, they heard Unlimited's voice drawl through the air again.
"Hm hm hm. Well, I underestimated you Goku," Unlimited was saying.
Everyone then shot their eyes to him, whose arms were at his sides and his smirk returned again. He looked at Goku, who seemed unfazed by this comment.
"But then again, it would be underestimating me by thinking that I was finished," Unlimited revealed.
"Well, I was hoping as much. I haven't been able to fight a sensible person with this much strength in awhile," Goku told him, his confidence overtaking.
"I guess that I'm going to have to show you my true powers," Unlimited finished.
Then, the teen lifted his arm and reminded everyone of what Unlimited was talking about, since everyone had been thinking that Unlimited's reserves had hit their end. The final bracelet was still attached to his arm, and they all lost their confidence except for Goku, who now looked determined to defeat whatever that bracelet held.
"Uh-oh, he has one bracelet left," Trunks stated the obvious.
"Can your dad still win?" Videl asked Gohan from beside him, and Gohan looked down to her and affirmed with a small smile, "There's no way he can lose."
Despite his confidence in his father, the Z-fighters remained worried, and Unlimited spoke again.
"It truly is remarkable. The group of you fighters, whom have been growing steadily in strength as each one of you is defeated. You have been able to coax out my power this much, and now, it's time to unbridle my strength, and show you the true extent of my powers!"
Then, Unlimited looked to his arm, and after a multitude of electricity and a crack of unseen thunder, detached the bracelet after a few seconds. He looked at Goku and smirked again. Away from the two fighters, Gohan said, "Dad can't be beaten, his powers are too high even for the last bracelet."
Elsewhere, Piccolo watched over this battle, and said apprenhensively, "He can't have anymore power than now. It's unreal."
Dende stood by him and wondered the same thing, and both Kibitokai, Old Kai, and the other otherworldly figures had similar feelings.
Finally, Unlimited spoke, "Now you will experience...the force..." Unlimited then thrust his body, beginning to charge up, and yelled, "OF UNLIMITED POWER!!"
Unlimited's strength then jumped as his pupils faded out, his teeth clenched, and he shook as his energy shot up. Rocks began to lift and break as they rose, and a crater was beginning to form underneath Unlimited. Then, electricity came from all over his body, and suddenly, two gigantic lightning bolts came from the cloudless sky and circled Unlimited, charging him with enormous power. Goku then looked nervous as Unlimited began to pulse in his gold aura again. The people of Earth watched the strength of Unlimited come to the surface as electricity darted everywhere, the cameraman shaking as he became fearful for his own life. Unlimited then stunned everyone as his aura then began to swirl uneasily, and then, started swirling into a new black aura which came from his feet and extended up his body, soon passing over his face as his pupils reappeared, and the new black aura took over completely. He threw his arms into the air and yelled one last time, throwing his head back. His energy exploded from around him as the lightning bolts shattered, the black energy encasing him in a massive cylinder. It expanded, and anyone from space would see the huge beam of energy jump from the planet, while another shockwave of energy would pass over the Earth, the new power causing a massive disturbance in the Earth's structure, making it shake underneath the pressure.
Goku had shielded his eyes along with the rest as Unlimited hit the new level of power, and then looked back with more worry than before, but still not thinking Unlimited was stronger than him.
When they first looked back, he was encased in a red energy ball, giving an eerie effect. Then, the ball disappeared and they looked at him with silent awe. All of his muscles had bulked up and the black energy snaked around his body, not violently like usual, but ominously, his new look describing the very nature of Unlimited, his dark hidden nature. All over his body, this new black power made him look terrifying, and the strength he possessed now was unfathomable. Finally, Unlimited looked up and Goku and smirked, this time with arrogance, and then charged the new aura into violence, now taking on his look perfectly, and the others stared at him, geniunely scared now.
Goten whimpered behind Gohan, "He's looks like something in a nightmare I had once."
Videl, not surprisingly holding onto Gohan, said, "Yeah, I've had dreams of something like him too..."
Vegeta and Trunks mirrored each other in pure terror and anger at how preposterously strong Unlimited had become.
Goku, above all else, looked at Unlimited once again with less worry than before, realizing the fact with satisfaction that Unlimited had just as much strength as himself.
"Well, how do you like it? This is my true power," Unlimited told them.
Goku said, "It's incredible, so much more than I thought."
"Yes, it truly is incredible. For so long, I waited to bring out this power and fight someone with enough strength. Now it looks like it's time to begin the battle, but first, there's something I need to do..." Unlimited said strangely.
Unlimited then lifted his hand and formed a snap position again, which everyone watched, waiting for something to happen again. Unlimited snapped his fingers and the ground began to rock violently, and then cracks began to form in the ground.
Soon, they became huge, and gave away eventually to a large hole in the ground, which then glowed orange and they realized what made that glow. Before they could say it, lava burst from the ground, piling around the area where the hole was formed. Everyone gasped in surprise as the lava seared the ground, but then began to harden fairly quickly.
After a few seconds, the lava hardened into rock, except something was different. Instead of completely cooling, some of it remained molten, glowing red, and formed a symbol.
"An infinity sign?" Goku questioned.
"This is the Unlimited Force spell, and with it, this Earth is now immune to destruction."
Everyone looked at him suddenly, wondering why he would do something like that if the Earth would already be destroyed.
Then Unlimited told why, "I'm taking this fight to the very end. There will be no interruptions because of the Earth's collapse from my powers."
Goku stared with respect towards Unlimited, who at least cared to fight all the way without the excuse of a fragile fighting site.
"No matter how strong you've become, unless I defeat you, this Earth is history, so I'm going to stop you," Goku declared.
"Well then, let the battle...for the Earth's future...begin..." Unlimited said, giving one final smirk.
With the teen's strength now fully exposed, Unlimited stands ready to fight against the strongest warrior in the universe. Goku, too, prepares to battle an opponent of incomprehensible power, unsure of the outcome right away, but with the firm belief that Unlimited will fall. Who will win this colossal fight, and is Earth really protected from destruction due to the new seal?
