Roaring like a madman, Goku charged forward, enveloped in a golden aura that was sparkling with black electricity. His eyes never regained the clarity he had before witnessing the hurt that Hatchiyack's attack put his son through. The reckless berserker crashed into Hatchiyack with a spinning kick before throwing a haymaker straight into Hatchiyack's block. The machine of vengeance gargled as the resounding pain spreading through his arms forced them to go limp and left him wide open.
Before Goku could strike, Hatchiyack smashed his forehead into the Saiyan's flinching his opponent up and striking both of his sides with powerful swings that swayed the Super Saiyan left and right. Turning around, Hatchiyack delivered a roundhouse kick before extending his hand and emitting a concussive Kiai wave, which sent Goku flying.
Goku's flinched and pain-ridden face looked up, removing the traces of pain and fatigue from it altogether and releasing another bloodthirsty howl that shook the whole quadrant with a cosmic quake. It even left Vegeta grunting and struggling against the rippling invisible shockwave. Goku's gold and black berserker aura ignited again as the rampant Super Saiyan charged toward his opponent. Hatchiyack's yellow eyes widened in terror and the machine of resentment vanished, blitzing high above the flashy server room with high-speed movement.
The monster exclaimed in surprise with a low-pitched grunt when his uncontrollable opponent snapped directly in front of him and swatted Hatchiyack aside with a backhanded strike. Charging immediately after his opponent, the berserker delivered a chain combination of strikes and sent Hatchiyack flying away with a roundhouse. Hatchiyack emitted a calamitous roar that enveloped him in a protective dome of emerald energy and walloped Goku away from him. While the rampaging Super Saiyan clutched for his ribs, Hatchiyack dashed to Goku, enveloped in an aura of boiling green energy.
Hatchiyack's right dig into Goku's gut connected with no objections, Goku coughed some slobber up and flew back, smashing into the wall of the inner core laboratory which left him stuck in it. The pink and red monster of boundless resentment wound his arm back, channeling an emerald energy sphere in his palm. When he thrust his arm forward, Hatchiyack spewed a storm of smaller green Ki blasts that homed in on the embedded Saiyan and tore him up, leaving Goku's berserker aura extinguished, his eyes closed and a very relaxed Super Saiyan body falling like a weightless feather.
Mid-fall, Goku clenched his fists and straightened his body, releasing a deafening bellow from the bottom of his chest, opening his white eyes again and exploding with a golden and black aura that expanded drastically around his body to where it looked like it was burning through everything it could find. Goku's stamina, his Ki, and life force were all on the menu for this demanding power-up given birth by bottomless wrath and the need to punish the wrongdoers, causing this pain to manifest in Goku's heart.
"The hick's gone mad!" Vegeta cursed to himself. "He's duking it out with that monster, but it's as if he's completely surrendered any defensive measures. He's thrown all caution away for the overwhelming offense. He's taking any damage coming his way as long as he can land his own offense on that thing…"
Goku hunched over, grabbing his head as he cried out in pain and struggle to contain the overflowing power alike. Regardless of the warnings his own body sent him, the Super Saiyan surrendered himself to the berserker form he had adopted and beamed forward like a golden wave of light emitting black thunderbolts in all directions that made the surrounding computer systems shorten out, forcing mass reboots.
With a roar of strain and pain alike, Goku drove his charging haymaker into Hatchiyack's head, rocking the resenting monster, stumbling to the left with the entire body. Turning around with his whole body, Goku slammed his spinning backfist again, driving Hatchiyack into a frantic whirlwind before Goku cried out while slamming a flying uppercut which expelled drastic amounts of Ki and forced a flashing riptide of golden energy out into a shaking pillar of golden light. With Hatchiyack knocked out and suspended in mid-air, the berserker Super Saiyan swatted him away with a kick before drawing his right arm back and forming a yellow energy blast crackling with black electricity in his right palm.
The black bags around Goku's eyes became more pronounced and the Saiyan's wrathful expression took a mean and almost inhuman shift. The berserker thrust his hand forward, sending the channeled black and gold energy bomb crashing into Hatchiyack nearly point blank and detonating with an expansive lightning storm of black and golden jolts shooting off in all directions. Hatchiyack grumbled, becoming enveloped with turquoise light with his fists crossed up while struggling against the berserker's desperate attack and channeling his own comeback.
It was as if Hatchiyack had tamed the electricity and converted it into a wrathful coating of his own unfathomable power. Bellowing, the rampant resentment crashed back into the berserker Super Saiyan and returned him the favor of thunderous chain punches while his body stayed enveloped with an electric turquoise shine that was supercharged at his glowing gemstones on Hatchiyack's forearms and on his forehead. There seemed to be no end to Hatchiyack's pummeling while the maddened Super Saiyan just stood there valiantly and took the beating coming his way. Hatchiyack finished his counterattack with a devastating power blow which sent the mad Super Saiyan flying off and bouncing off the outer wall of the inner core chamber, only to plummet down.
The grief and wrath were completely gone from Goku's look. Amongst the bruises and the swellings were only pain-ridden closed eyes and gritted teeth, though, somehow, likely due to him perfecting his mastery over the Super Saiyan form, Goku preserved his Super Saiyan state even while flirting with unconsciousness.
Hatchiyack pressed his flexed arms to his side as he bellowed out into nothingness, calling out for he didn't know what and crying in grief he had no chance of overcoming. Vegeta gritted his teeth and turned to Dr. Lychee.
"This monster, it's only growing stronger from fighting, isn't it?" Vegeta called out to the Tsufurian cyborg scientist.
"Not quite. Violence, all by itself, is inefficient. Hatchiyack becomes bolstered by specific emotions: grudge, grief, and resentment. Though Hatchiyack is merely a suit of armor, intended to be worn by an ultimate intellect, the perfect inheritor of the Tsufurian legacy. A mind that could hone and deflect these emotions or wield them as it saw fit. The Hatchiyack you face now, King Vegeta, is just a prototype of the true ruler of the cyber-verse that the Four-Star Plan will give birth to," Dr. Lychee turned to Vegeta, hovering with his legs crossed up.
"Finally dropped the act, haven't you?" Vegeta chuckled to himself. "This isn't one iota about revenge to you. It's about flexing that creature in front of us Saiyans."
"I do not partake in meaningless battles, King Vegeta, rest assured, even this meeting of ours has a very important role in the grander plan," Dr. Lychee made a sheepish squint of his white and empty eyes. "Though I suggest you not worry your pea-sized brain about it and get yourself lost in this battle one final time. It is my gift to you, it's more of a courtesy that your people have ever offered the Tsufurians before exterminating them."
"Damn it!" Vegeta turned to Hatchiyack who had overcome the surge of electricity from before and squinted at Vegeta with a scornful look.
"SAIYANS… YOUR FAULT… DIE!" Hatchiyack cried out before throwing himself at Vegeta. His fighting style wasn't too much different from the way Goku fought after assuming that wild berserker state. Hatchiyack too fought with little bother to protect himself. It was only when he channeled that apocalyptic blast from earlier that he showed any semblance of effort for protecting himself from damage. A weak point, perhaps? Even if it was, the three Super Saiyans sent their strongest attacks Hatchiyack's way while he was charging and it was all to no effect.
"It doesn't matter how much resentment, how much grief you bear! The power to surpass Super Saiyan is ultimate!" Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta howled while meeting Hatchiyack head-on with no hint of intimidation for the monster's immovable fighting spirit.
Vegeta swatted his right leg into a kick to Hatchiyack's face, forcing the vengeful beast on the back foot. A jabbing thrust of his fist into the gemstone in the center of Hatchiyack's body made the monster drop his jaw and gasp in pain while the gemstone cracked up. Snarling, Vegeta burst with an electric Super Saiyan 2 aura and smashed his other fist into the gemstone too, shattering it into shiny stardust sprinkles before driving a flying uppercut into Hatchiyack's jaw.
"The plight of revenge for an obsolete race of soft-hearted fools is just as lukewarm as their puny battle powers!" Vegeta yelled out, winding his head back and snapping it back forward with a devastating headbutt. Despite the tremendous difference in size between the two, Vegeta sent Hatchiyack flying away.
The regal Super Saiyan vanished in a halo of golden light, causing the entire area to become electrified with static as he appeared behind Hatchiyack's limp body and thrust both feet into its back, then erupted with a vast golden aura and raced overhead of the machine of Tsufurian revenge with his hands weaved together and raised over his head. Gnashing his teeth in fury, the Super Saiyan smashed his hands in a double ax handle slam that grounded Hatchiyack while Vegeta smashed from the air like a calamitous meteor, driving his knees into Hatchiyack's chest and snuffing out the yellow light in Hatchiyack's eyes while leaving a jarring hole in Hatchiyack's chest where the previously radiant gemstone was shattered and blown out and only featureless grey mash remained in the crushed chest cavity.
"See that? Your precious raging Tsufurian rampage machine is all busted. Unfortunately for you, we have plenty of experience smashing walking heaps of scrap to pieces!" Vegeta turned to Dr. Lychee with a hand raised over his head as he channeled a blaze-colored ball of sparkling energy over his head.
"Hmm… It does indeed seem like had I challenged you with Hatchiyack alone, without Baby inhabiting it, the energy provided by the Tsufurian resentment and grief alone wouldn't have sufficed. Once Hatchiyack reaches a critical state, it appears to hit a wall that no amount of despair can bolster him through," Dr. Lychee observed with little worry about his own impending doom nor the collapse of his ace under the sleeve. This amount of carelessness for the utter failure of all of his plans confused Vegeta long enough to delay obliterating Dr. Lychee for one additional second.
That second appeared to be enough, as an ironclad grip wrapped around Vegeta's wrist and flipped him over Hatchiyack's head, smashing him flat into the ground and extinguishing the Spirit Break Cannon that he was channeling with one titanic slam. Hatchiyack flipped Vegeta into the air by his wrist before crossing his arms up and becoming engulfed in emerald light. After Vegeta recovered mid-air, Hatchiyack extended his arm out and shot a green energy wave that forced the Super Saiyan 2 to cross his arms for a desperate block and take the brunt of the blast.
"Tsk… This is nothing!" Vegeta dismissed Hatchiyack's miraculous resurrection. Before Vegeta could take off and collide with the embodiment of the Tsufurian despair, Hatchiyack's outline lit up with bright chartreuse light that soon engulfed his entire form until the whole monster was nothing but a construct of pure energy. Jets of Destron Gas began spewing from inside Hatchiyack's ruined core in all directions, forming a black noxious cloud overhead while Hatchiyack grew massively out of proportion and became large enough to cause the entire inner laboratory chamber to collapse.
Shaking in disbelief, Vegeta moved back a few twitches, but it was nothing compared to the distance he would need to flee to truly be safe from such a gargantuan titan.
Goku, bruised and with half of his orange gi singed off and tattered, approached Gohan and felt his son's heartbeat pounding by touching his exposed, muscular for his age back. A golden pulse of energy resonated through Goku's touch, making Gohan spring back to consciousness and roll over onto his back. This healing pulse did little to actually help the boy recover from his grievous injuries, but it jolted him back to consciousness.
"Gohan, you're okay, thank god!" Goku nodded with a smile.
"Wh-What happened? Is that monster defeated?" Gohan sat up, scratching his pounding head and stretching his numbed muscles to regain full mobility.
"I wish I could say but… I think I might have lost control there and…" Goku tried explaining before both he and Gohan turned around with shocked looks on their faces and a chronic inability to keep their jaws shut.
"Is… Is that… Hatchiyack!?" Gohan whimpered out, pointing at the colossal monster that grew out of proportion to an unbelievable degree. A single stomp of such a titan could have leveled the surface of a planet, and the entire Dark Planet seemed to struggle to keep such a monster contained within its interior.
"Damn it! That evil Ki he's flooding the place with it makes Broly's Ki feel like nothing…" Goku seethed in powerlessness. "But his body's taken heaps of damage already, there's no way he can keep this infinite power contained without breaking. Even if we can't overpower him, we can still destroy Hatchiyack!"
"R-Right!" Gohan nodded.
"What are you doing? Stay down!" Goku scolded his son.
"No way!" Gohan objected. "I can still fight, and we'll need every hand on deck if we stop this creature. If we don't–Dr. Lychee will make the Big Gete Star's plan, and the plans of all the other cyber-stars, come to life, and reshape this universe into a cyber-verse where he's in complete control over the laws of all reality! I can't let all reality get replaced and Dr. Lychee become a god. I've got school in two weeks!"
"Damn it, I've got no time to argue with you… Vegeta will get squashed unless we help him!" Goku winced with the right side of his face. Before he could figure out what to do, Gohan burst with a Super Saiyan aura and spiked up his hair with a golden color, and took off after Vegeta's Ki signature. Goku followed his son's example.
"Vegeta-san!" Gohan called out to the Saiyan king while he and his father joined Vegeta in hovering directly in front of the drastically expanded Hatchiyack's form.
"You two…" Vegeta turned his nose up. "Just stay out of my way. I'm smashing this bothersome machine to bits and I can't have you dragging me down!"
"You've got the pep back in your voice, Vegeta. Must be really excited to see us!" Goku laughed out, patting Vegeta's back and prompting a violent response as the king grabbed Goku by his tattered clothes and pulled him in for a pounding. That was before Hatchiyack's gemstones lit up and emitted destructive emerald rays of energy, scanning the place and beaming through the outer layers of the Dark Planet before beaming off into space and obliterating the first star cluster they came into contact with. Crudely, Vegeta shoved Goku away and turned to Giant Hatchiyack.
The royal Super Saiyan 2 vanished, rushing toward the giant and driving his right leg into Hatchiyack's eye with a high kick that forced the titan's house-sized eye closed. Using his high-speed movement, Vegeta dashed overhead and threw a straight at the center of Hatchiyack's forehead gemstone which saw Hatchiyack stumble backward. Vegeta noticed these gemstones channeled and controlled Hatchiyack's power and could've served as weak spots if smashed to bits. Even if after his transformation Hatchiyack repaired his chest stone, he might not have had any further transformations to repair any Vegeta shatters now.
A chained rush of blows sent a fusillade of thunderous cracks while Vegeta laid the smack down upon the colossal forehead gemstone of Hatchiyack's, then vanished to avoid the giant's wary smack before swooping in with a kick to Hatchiyack's face that pushed the titan back even further. Hatchiyack began thrashing frantically, emitting destructive rays from his gemstones all at once which drove Goku and Gohan into an evasive frenzy while Vegeta performed a daring snap vanish and positioned himself directly in front of Hatchiyack with his right arm extended and his index and middle finger raised and pointing at Hatchiyack, sparkling with a blazing energy star at the tip of his fingers.
"Stop whining and join your stupid race in extinction!" Vegeta smirked, firing a point-blank bolt of energy straight into Hatchiyack's face and drowning the gargantuan monster in smoke. Yellow beacons of light lit up within the cloud of smoke, only for Goku to twirl in from who knows where with a wild, spinning roundhouse. All of Goku's Super Saiyan aura was focused entirely around the calf of his kicking leg, causing an explosive deafening kick when he slammed into Hatchiyack.
With the giant flinched and stumbling, waving his hands to ward off the lustrous gnats buzzing around his face and stinging him nonstop, Goku repeated the turning explosive roundhouse with the other leg before turning around and thrusting his right leg into Hatchiyack's face and rocking the giant's head back. Seeing the stumble in Hatchiyack's step, Goku fired a barrage of Ki blasts that spread wide and covered almost Hatchiyack's whole body before vanishing and appearing over the back of Hatchiyack's head.
With a kick to the back of the head that'd have shut down any humanoid warrior, Goku repeated the barrage of explosive roundhouses as each kick after the last amped up in power and ferocity since neither of them seemed to rock Hatchiyack deep enough to affect his nervous system. If he indeed had one, that was.
Gohan flew up to Hatchiyack's knees, kicking into the side of each knee before engaging in a barrage of snap vanishes while beating down on the area of the knee he dashed up to in a possessed quest to bring the colossus down. Holding one of his hands with the other, Super Saiyan Gohan formed an energy sphere with the excess energy pulsing off him as expanding energy rings. Bringing his arms forward, Gohan blasted Hatchiyack's left knee with a full-power, point-blank Super Masenko that made the monster of resentment bellow and collapse.
The three Super Saiyans lined up one to another, panting while emerald lightning ripped through the collapsing cybernetic space station. The devastating energy rays that Hatchiyack was beaming off and causing apocalyptic calamities all around the universe now converged and formed an explosive energy pillar around Hatchiyack, sinking the monster in a noxious cocktail of fumes of dust and smoke and Destron Gas.
"These transformations…" Vegeta gritted his teeth in frustration. "They can't be natural to this creature. All this Destron that it produces as a result… It's just like Videl and Trunks relayed–Ghost Warriors can use Destron to transform into wild mutations of their original forms."
"What? They can use Destron to transform?" Goku exclaimed in amazement. "In that case, who knows if there's a limit to how wild this guy can get?" he snickered. "We might just be in trouble here…"
"But that would mean that… That this Hatchiyack is a Ghost Warrior!" Gohan gasped with a sudden realization. "In that case, there is no use fighting it. Even if we destroy it, unless we deal with the Destron Gas, it will keep reshaping itself while it uses Destron to further mutate into stronger and stronger forms! We're in the nexus point of all Destron Gas in the universe–the more we fight this creature, the more unbelievable it will get and it's already by far the most terrifying force we've encountered."
With the smoke clouds shifting and clearing the way, Hatchiyack emerged shrunken down almost to his original state, just merely pumped up in size and bulk. Additional, elongated armor pads guarded his shoulder and hands and this Super Form mutation also appeared to produce more gemstones to channel and control Hatchiyack's limitless, untamed power. Super Hatchiyack appeared from the settling destruction of the Dark Planet around him, ready to resume the hot-blooded yet fruitless struggle against the limitless pit of grief, resentment, and despair while the Saiyans collectively stumbled back to regroup and figure out a way to deal with this embodiment of Tsufurian hatred and beyond the grave vengeance.
