The Three Legendary Saiyans
Chapter 59: Second Omen.
Vegeta.
Gazing out on the horizon where the flashes of battle were not only fading but reigniting with a new battle to decide the fate of Universes 6 and 7; uncertain on which side to choose when Universe 7 was his home but Universe 6 was where The Saiyan Race remained alive and well with a Home Planet still existing, his brow furrowing as he stood still only to wait until the battle was over and the wish on The Super Dragon Balls would be his with his intention to not only restore Universe 6 but to fuse it with Universe 7 and restore The Saiyan Race.
Frieza.
Having been secretly watching the entire battle against Kefla with a sense of satisfaction as Raijin had been beaten to a pulp, being saved by not only Son Goku but the pesky Androids who made his past Cybernetically Enhanced Body look like garbage by comparison and now witnessing the strange silvery power from the earlier bout with Jiren.
"Oh… this is turning out to be most interesting, I wonder how everything will turn out" Frieza hummed to himself in amusement; tapping his own jawline with his black nails with keen interest in Goku's strange new power and how Goku would utilise it.
Gohan.
Gohan observed as Goku's body became clad in silver mist whilst clinging to the side of a collapsing arena floor; having fallen through the floor when the last quakes had struck following Kefla's battle with Goku and 17, his arms and legs straining with the flightless climb as Gohan pulled himself back up the wall of fractured and cracked metal.
Reaching the arena floor-side; Gohan pulled himself up over the edge and dusted himself down only to find the green tunic of his Saiyaman Costume had suffered a number of tears as well as the black bodysuit underneath leaving patches where his skin had also suffered some cuts caked with dried blood.
"Gotta be more careful… this arena will barely hold out if any more arena-quaking events take place" Gohan spoke to himself after giving the arena a close look though he knew that the full abilities of the last remaining Team was still an unknown.
Raijin.
Raijin glanced over his shoulder as he paused for breath; the flashes of pink and green only now a shimmering silver light added to the blaze of clashing energies, with a smile lighting up his expression as he knew that Goku could win where he had failed due to his inability to fight an overwhelmingly powerful opponent like Kefla but it didn't mean he would stop progressing for he needed to break through the stone wall he kept seeing in order to overcome his body's limits once again if he were to stand equally with his friends and rivals.
17.
With his barrier melting away; 17 stared in amazement as he stood up close as Goku shimmered with shiver mist around his body, streaks of silver in his hair while his eyes glittered with divine power, choosing to back away quickly as this imminent fight was far beyond his ability to defend Goku when he could move faster than 17 could generate Barriers much less properly defend against Kefla's relentless barrage of attacks.
Observation Stands.
Silence hung over the stands like a blanket; The Angels of fallen Universes remained sat in their seats as Goku's body had once again undergone the change to The Omen Stage of Ultra Instinct; Beerus and Belmod sat silently in wait of the victor of this battle thus deciding the fate of both Universes 6 and 7 for Kefla's strength rivalled Jiren's and if Goku were to lose to Kefla then all of Team Universe 7 would fall too.
"Do you think Goku can win this one? Kefla's power is almost a match for Jiren" Krillin spoke with a tone of nervousness in his voice; his hands trembling as the war raged within the confines of the arena's remains.
"I'm not sure Krillin… but I sense something great still has yet to come" Piccolo stated with a hint of concern in his voice; his nails digging down into his arm in the intensity and direness of their situation for if Goku didn't win then they'd surely all be eliminated and erased.
"We shall soon see Piccolo… your foresight impresses me" Whis spoke with his typical enigmatic smile; his words hanging in the air as if there was something he knew that he wasn't saying though Beerus shot a callous glance in Whis' direction.
Unsure what Whis meant by his enigmatic words; but Master Roshi knew too well the barriers that rose up in the like of the Warrior or Martial Artist for over the course of his near-century of life he'd overcome wall after wall in his training and borne witness to those same barriers be overcome by not only Goku but also Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Gohan, Vegeta and even Raijin in the years that he'd known The Z-Fighters, his old eyes watching as Goku fought against Kefla and could feel anything but pride as he watched his own student climb to levels that Roshi couldn't.
Over on Universe 6's side of the Stands; Cabba and Hit sat together rin silence as they watched, Cabba held his hands together in prayer that Kefla would win and ensure their Universe's survival while Hit grimaced with disappointment in Raijin's battle but stared in amazement as Goku again stood enshrouded in silver mist.
Sitting in the furthest seat back from the fighters all silently watching as Kefla wildly attempted to fight the divine blessings of Ultra Instinct; Champa and Vados glanced to one another, the normally loud and obnoxious God of Destruction sitting silently as if he already knew the result of this battle while Vados gazed solemnly at her companion deity before giving a soft smile as her hand touched his.
Goku and Kefla.
Through the silver mist coating his body; Goku stared out at Kefla with an expression of determination now he knew that this power would only last a minute at most, eager to utilise it in the moment as Goku vanished from Kefla's vision only for the Fused Warrior to keel over and spit of blobs of saliva as Goku's knee planted itself in her stomach in an unusually aggressive move.
Keeling over from the sudden and unexpected strike; Kefla swung her left arm wildly only for Goku to vanish like an afterimage, shocked at the sudden unreadable speed Goku was exhibiting; her temper rising as Goku stood perfectly still only a few feet away still clad in silver light.
"You Seventh Universe fucker!" Kefla growled moments before she launched off the floor with tremendous force and speed with both arms wound back before flipping and bringing both her fists down on top of an unmoving Goku in a double hammer fist attack only for Goku to simply sidestep the assault and strike Kefla in the back of the head with a simple elbow thrust; sending her crashing onto her knees and winded.
Furious that Goku had gotten the better of her for a second time; Kefla's green/pink flames burst into life as her speed greatly increased, running circles around Goku and firing blast after blast until Goku's form was lost within a black cloud and flames from multiple energy-based explosions where not even the silver mist of Ultra Instinct could be seen; Kefla grinning as he kept firing blasts until a sudden impact halting her great speed and winded her, Kefla's eyes seeking the one who struck her only to witness an unharmed Goku staring at her with his fist buried in her abdomen.
"Give up?" Goku muttered solely to Kefla; his voice echoing like a hundred Goku's speaking in unison.
"Fuck this! I'm taking out everybody!" Kefla screamed at the top of her lungs; kicking off the floor and leaping up to the top of the central pillar where her pink/green aura vanished only to materialise a near-uncountable number of her Orbs all firing at once producing a volley of beams all firing down at the floor and at Goku himself.
Goku barely flinched as the beams tore through the floor and melting the Kachi Kachin through the intense heat brought about by Kefla's anger and hate towards Universe 7, the silver mist and light of Ultra Instinct beginning to fade from his body as his thought turned from defensive movements to more offensive; Kefla's beams converged into one larger beams that tore and melted from the arena on a path for Goku.
Goku stood in wait as the beams tore through rubble and tiles towards him; his palms glowing with the charge cycle of his signature Kamehameha Wave, the beams edging closer until Goku crouched down to the floor
A roar of cheers broke from his friends in The Stands but with Ultra Instinct Goku barely heard the yells of cheer and support as his charging beam allowed him to glide up Kefla's energy and meet her at the central pillar with his intent being to blast her out of the arena but time might not be his ally as he already felt the silver light fading.
"Fucking bastard" Kefla cursed as she bore witness to Goku sliding up her own beam to meet her head-on; thrusting both arms by her sides and generating two enormous spinning Buzzsaw's of green energy with a noticeable pink hue to the centre of the construct, Kefla's eyes leered down on Goku as he slid closer and closer but in her anger she barely noticed the energy attack charging in Goku's hands.
Goku's silver-lit eyes turned to their normal black for a split second mere nano-seconds before meeting Kefla; clinging onto the power of Ultra Instinct for as long as he possibly could in the final moments of their battle, Kefla gritting her teeth as she and Goku finally met but was not ready for the Kamehameha Wave meeting her; the overwhelming force of the beams pushing Kefla back off her feet and barrelling out of the arena though the intense energy of the blast shattered the Potara Earrings that hung from her ears before she vanished into the clouds.
Observation Stands.
With a surprising turn; Kale and Caulifla both materialised in the Observation Stands with the shattered Potara Earrings still hanging from their ears but the gem-like orb had shattered to millions of tiny fragments.
Both girls glanced to one another as if seeing each other for the first time in years until the dawning of their defeat came to them; both hanging their heads in shame as Kale broke into tears of sadness and sorrow while Caulifla struck the floor with her fists out of frustration as blood dripped to the floor as her nails dug into the flesh of her palms, a warm pair of hands reached for Caulifla and Kale both as Cabba embraced his fellow Saiyans; tears too strolling down his face.
Botamo, Doctor Rota and Magetta both frowning downwards in shame for their defeats while Saonel and Pilina stood on their feet to meet their end with their heads held high; all wordless as white light of The Twin Zeno's enveloped the fighters before disappearing upon being erased.
But Hit stood apart from his comrades; his emotionless gaze meeting the eyes of Raijin who still stood in the arena with his eyes locked solely on Hit, Hit gaze an accepting smile as his body became clad in white light; beckoning as Caulifla stood alongside Cabba and Kale all spotting Raijin staring up at them.
"Hey… dumbass! Don't go losing to anyone else you hear!" Caulifla screamed down to Raijin; bringing her left foot up and on top of the guard rail though tears beaded under her eyes as she vanished into mere empty space.
"Raijin… I wish we could have fought together more; I would like to fight you someday too and give it all I got but please tell Mr Vegeta that I'm sorry for not keeping my promise" Cabba announced; putting on a brave smile before vanishing in a blink of white light.
"Raijin… I'm sorry for hurting you… I hope you'll forgive me" Kale spoke calmly though tears left wet trails down her cheeks before she too vanished into nothingness but a teardrop remained on the guard rail.
Raijin bit down on his bottom lip as he watched the Saiyan Trio vanish; turning to meet Hit's gaze once more, with Hit putting on a brave smile as he vanished along with the remaining members of his team leaving only Champa and Vados remained.
Champa slowly rose to his feet; his bountiful girth bouncing as he stood tall and strong before facing the stern gaze of Beerus, grinning widely from ear to ear as he rose his paw-like hands up in a gesture equal to that of raising his middle fingers and shouting a few words before he too vanished, "Fuck you Beerus; you lanky-ass shithead!".
Beerus could barely watch as his twin brother vanished into nothing but empty space; the sound of his final curse and the image of his middle finger gesture flipped towards Team Universe 7 burnt into the memories of all those present, Whis careful glanced towards Beerus but did not speak so much as a single word for now was not the time for emotions as their Team still had its last and most difficult hurdle to come.
The Arena.
Panting for breath and drained from sheer effort; Goku dropped to his knees as he felt a friendly hand grasped him by the arm and lifting him back to his feet before releasing their grip thus allowing him to stand on his own two feet just as the sounds of footsteps echoed into the nearly empty arena.
"Steady yourself Kakarot… the final battle is yet to come" spoke the royal toned voice of Vegeta though he showed no signs of dismay over the loss of Universe 6; The Saiyan Prince stood by Goku's side as three figures walked towards them through the haze of dust and rubble.
Goku and Vegeta both said nothing as Android 17 stepped out from behind a damaged slab of Kachi Kachin followed closely by Raijin after having absorbed 18's remaining energy and his encounter with Universe 6 having restored his will to fight on given who their remaining adversaries were.
Frieza and Gohan arrived last but walking together though Gohan expressed great dislike for having the once evil tyrant by his side as the remaining six fighters of Universe 7 gathered as the three red and black uniformed figures finally came into view: Jiren, Toppo and Dyspo.
The three fighters of Universe 11 stared down upon the fighters from Universe 7; Jiren stood motionless as well as emotionless with his dark-shadowed bulbous eyes staring down at those who stood in the way of Universe 11's victory, Toppo stood silently but his eyes showed a glint of respect at Universe 7's perseverance while Dyspo stood giggling to himself at the sight of the beaten state of Goku, Raijin and 17.
The whole of Team Universe's 7 and 11; the final round of The Tournament Of Power was imminent.
