The Three Legendary Saiyans

Chapter 39: Fall of a Universe

Raijin.

Raijin couldn't help but look away from Caulifla; sensing the energies of Goku and Vegeta rising higher but not transforming but also sensing the energies of three individuals pooling their powers together, noticing that Caulifla had also sensed the energies of Raijin's allies and had an insatiable lust for stronger opponents in her wide turquoise eyes.

"What and who is that? All I know is that I want to fight them!" Caulifla kicked off the floor with such force that the Kachi Katchin cracked under her raw power; soaring forward in a golden flash only for Raijin's arm to suddenly reach out and force her to sidestep

"How the hell did you stop me?!" Caulifla shouted; skidding to a halt with a slight scratch on her right arm.

Raijin glared up at her; a slight animalistic look in his turquoise eyes.

Caulifla's temples popped with angry veins; the golden flames burning even more fiercely as her young slender body began to grow larger and more muscular, the golden spikes of her wild hair becoming more ridged; bursting off the ground with enough force to tear up the floor in a headlong charge against Raijin with a right hook primed.

Raijin smirked as Caulifla bulked up when entering the Super Saiyan Grade 2 Form; easily sidestepping her wide and heavy punch indicating that this girl was nothing more than a street brawler, waiting for Caulifla to wind up her hook punches before easily slapping her wrists and redirecting her punches into the floor or harmlessly swiping at the air.

Hiding around the corner of a torn-up chuck of the arena stood Kale; peeking out from behind the chunk and watching Caulifla and Raijin constantly block each-others punches.

Goku and Vegeta.

The Trio of Danger unanimously glared at the duo of Goku and Vegeta; and triple tone combined aura of their unity blazed with fierce flames coloured red, blue and yellow, the trio of Bergamo, Basil and Lavender standing together as the flames of the united triple-tone aura grew wilder only to contort into the form of a burning wolf face.

"Danger's Triangle!" roared the combined voices of Bergamo, Basil and Lavender; each of their right hands crossed over as the trio fired three distinct beams coloured blue, red and yellow, the three beams burst out from the mouth of the wolf-face aura before coiling and twisting around each other in a single unified energy attack that threatened to push back and eliminate anyone who dared to struggle against it.

Goku and Vegeta only exchanged a brief glance; nodding as both Saiyans bent their knees and adjusted their hands for the own beam attacks, both eager to meet the challenge presented by The Danger's Triangle.

"Final Galick Gun!" Vegeta let out a mighty roar; his dark blue aura flaring wildly upon firing his beam.

"Final Kamehameha!" Goku shouted with an excited tone; the luminous bright blue beam matched only by the bright blue aura blazing off Goku's own body.

The Arena.

When the beams met; the rumbling of the clash was felt by every fighter stood on the floor of the arena, a multi-coloured blaze of light resulting from the beam struggle illuminated the arena that could be seen from almost anywhere in the increasingly combative arena.

Raijin and Caulifla glanced up from their brawl only for Raijin to take a hard sucker punch to the jaw and countering with a backhand to the side of Caulifla's forehead; resuming their fight and ignoring the clash.

Krillin glanced up from a stand-off with the green-furred fox, though the fox-man seemed uninterested in the clash.

17 and 18 both glanced over towards the blazing flashes resulting from the beam struggle as did the group of six Pride Troopers.

Master Roshi sat cross-legged; catching some breath before heading out while unknowingly being watched by somebody keeping to the shadows and masking their presence.

Even the duo of Toppo and Dyspo glanced over after sensing the energies of Goku and Vegeta clashing with that of The Trio of Danger, Jiren remaining as stoic though he too glared at the light of the clash.

Raijin.

"Why? I can't hit you! I got one hit while you were distracted like a fucking amateur!" Caulifla ranted through heavily panted breaths; the bulky mass of her body weighting down her body's natural speed.

Raijin smirked; waving his finger mockingly at Caulifla, forcing her to lunge at him with a heavy two-handed hammer strike only for Raijin to dodge it and execute a perfect kick to her exposed stomach.

Caulifla's body immediately powered down after taking a hit; her midnight black eyes glaring up at him.

"That form gives you explosive power but you lose speed… this is how you jump to the next level!" Raijin clenched his fists just as his own energies spiked considerably; white bolts of lightning coiling around his body as the golden flames blazed bright than before just as the golden spikes in his hair became more prominent.

Caulifla's eyes widened after witnessing Raijin's jump to Super Saiyan 2; her expression turning from fascination to a giddy eagerness to jump to the form herself, "Oh; so you do it like this?".

Raijin felt his own eyes widen; witnessing Caulifla suddenly begin transforming and making the jump to Super Saiyan 2 without the near-death experience he went through when fighting Cooler, Caulifla stood with strongly defined spikes in her mane of golden hair amongst the fierce golden fiery aura; and bolts of hot pink lightning coursed down her arms.

"I must say that I am impressed; it took nearly dying for me to attain this Form" Raijin gave an approving nod; recalling the pain of Cooler's powerful assaults against him and the rock crumbling around and burying him alive.

"Guess it means I'm just better than you!" Caulifla bragged while puffing out her chest; setting her fists against her slender hips

Raijin and Caulifla both lunged at each other; swapping punches that both landed and swiped at the air through each other's parries, their steps and positioning of their feet made it appear like the two were dancing rather than fighting except for the flurrying barrage of punches Caulifla struck Raijin with leading to Raijin to counter by coiling his tail around her right wrist and thrusting his left knee into her abdomen.

Kale watched with wide eyes; anxiety pulsing through her mind while she watched her best friend and pseudo-sister fight gleefully against a new opponent, biting down on her lips as she felt forgotten by Caulifla while a strange green-coloured bolt of lightning crackled up the length of her spine to the roots of her black hair.

Goku and Vegeta.

The flashes of the energy beam clash radiated even brighter as The Danger's Triangle pushed back against Goku's Kamehameha and Vegeta's Galick Gun; the trio of red, blue and yellow beams gradually pushed back with enough force that Goku and Vegeta felt their feet sliding backwards out from under them; the two Saiyans tensing their leg muscles and sticking to the floor though the power opposing them was quite formidable.

Bergamo, Basil and Lavender grinned; each taking steps forward as they gained ground on Goku and Vegeta, Bergamo personally gleefully taking each step as a step towards a revenge-filled victory over Goku after losing to him in The Zeno Expo.

Taking another step forwards; Bergamo, Basil and Lavender felt a shudder of fear as two explosions of blue flames suddenly ignited into life where Goku and Vegeta had been standing, the force and power behind the Kamehameha and Galick Gun suddenly arose to an explosive degree; the sudden increase in power forced the Trio of Danger backwards until the heels of Basil and Lavender were tethering over the edge of the arena.

"Brother Bergamo! Our feet!" Basil shouted; his normally sly voice speaking in a panicked tone.

"I know… what happened?!" Bergamo gritted his teeth; glancing over his shoulders to his two fearful brothers.

"That accursed Blue Form of theirs" Lavender cursed; his legs shaking in fear of being eliminated.

Goku and Vegeta both tensed every muscle in their bodies; letting out a combined roar just as the bright blue and deep purple beams burst with overflowing power, easily breaking apart the three beams that made up The Danger's Triangle and sending the three beams cascading into and breaking apart sections of the arena while the Kamehameha and Galick Gun barrelled into Bergamo, Basil and Lavender only to blast the trio out of the arena's boundaries.

Observation Stands.

The Trio of Danger: Bergamo, Basil and Lavender all materialised within the seats of The Observation Stands; all looking down with defeated expressions alongside their defeated allies leaving only three members of their team remaining, three members currently in battle with the three maidens from The Second Universe.

Sidra frowned as his three strongest fighters were defeated; keeping his arms crossed across his chest though he feared for his Universe for if the last three were eliminated they'd be erased.

Krillin.

Krillin kept tackling at and attempting to blindside the fox-man with his near-reflexive strikes and rushes; attacking with a volley of ki blasts as Raijin would by jumping up and firing the barrage down on top of the fox-man, only for the target to near-effortlessly dance out of the path of every attack.

"Open your eyes already? How can to predict my moves without seeing them!"

"Why you ask? It is only that I merely have the heightened senses to detect you without need for any sight" the fox-man spoke calmly; swiping his long sleeves in air in front of his face before taking in a deep breath through his nose.

"Wait… are you… blind?" Krillin lowered his fists slightly; but not letting down his guard.

"Yes; you are right; I lost my sight many years ago though I do not need such a sense to defeat one as weak as you"

"I'll teach you to call me weak!" Krillin grumbled under his breath; spotting that the fox-man 's grin widened as he'd obviously heard him, "On my world; we give out opponents our names when fighting, I'm Krillin".

"Such a polite custom; my name is Majora: Blind Monk of The Fourth Universe" Majora gave a curt bow; the fur around his eyes twitching with eagerness for their serious duel.

"So we're both monks then… quite an exciting battle" Krillin spoke' picking up on his speed and dashing circles around Majora and lunging in with a flying kick.

"Pleased to do battle with you Krillin!" Majora opened eyes closed eyes; revealing the mistiness of his blind eyes though he seemed to have no trouble in locating and blocking Krillin in turning directly towards him.

Team Universe Nine.

The last three members of Team Universe Nine were pushed back to the edge of the arena, all three members sweating nervously with the knowledge that they were the last and being defeated by three beautiful young maidens; all of whom looked as if they should have been on a fashion catwalk instead of a fighting tournament.

One maiden with long flowing green hair while wearing a flowing pink dress raised her hand and created a large pink love heart from her energy before drawing back a line akin to a bowstring before releasing the heard

"Good one Brianne; shut down those pathetically weak men" spoke a maiden draped in a bright yellow poncho.

"Thanks Sous; let us prove that our Love is mightier than these men can ever be" Brianne announced; flicking a loose strand of her green hair from her eyes before walking off with Sous and another maiden dressed in a blue ruffled dress.

Observation Stands.

The Grand Priest turned towards the entire team from The Ninth Universe with an enigmatic look in his eyes but a wide smile on his lips, "All of the members of Team Universe Nine have been eliminated! And by the rules of The Tournament of Power… the entire team and their Universe shall be erased!".

The Two Zeno's eyes sparkled with childish delight; staring down at the tablet-like devices they carried to watch the fights and replay events only to find that all the facial portraits of the ten members of Team Universe Nine had been blacked out.

"Yes; they'll all eliminated" Future-Zeno started; looking over to his counterpart.

Indeed they are; you know what that means…" Zeno announced; turning his and Future-Zeno's gaze over to the cowering and defeated Team Universe Nine and their Gods.

Zeno raised his right arm while Future-Zeno raised his left arm in a mirroring motion; both their raised hands glowing with a white light that glowed like a radiant star that encompassed the entire Ninth Universe team including their God of Destruction and Supreme Kai but leaving their Angel untouched as they group of twelve individuals vanished into nothingness along with their entire Universe.

The Ninth Universe's Angel cracked a small enigmatic smile as Sidra vanished.

Beerus and Whis both watched with stoic expressions while Shin and Elder-Kai watched Sidra and his accompanying Supreme Kai vanished in a bright white light leaving not a single trace of their existence.

Champa looked on in horror; silently wishing that his own Universe wouldn't meet the same fate.

Team Universe Seven.

Goku and Vegeta both powered down; watching as Team Universe Nine vanished from erasure before their very eyes, Goku regrettably looking down at the floor while Vegeta dashed off in search of a more powerful opponent.

Master Roshi rose back to his feet and walked along the edge of the arena; stopping to look behind him just as the shadowy figure hid behind a fractured piece of the arena.

Frieza remained hidden behind the central pillar; a sinister smile on his face after thoroughly enjoying his observation of the erasure of The Ninth Universe.
