The Three Legendary Saiyans
Chapter 57: Raijin Outmatched.
Raijin.
An involuntary shiver ran down Raijin's spine as he met the staring gleeful eyes of Kefla: the Potara Fusion of Caulifla and Kale, sensing the powerful energies and the mighty body of Kale but the mind of Caulifla in the fused being caused Raijin to take a step backwards when meeting her gaze.
"What's wrong? Scared to fight me? You were so gung-ho when you'd tricked Caulifla!" Kefla shouted; her voice a combination of Caulifla and Kale with the speech patterns and abuse of Caulifla but the manner of Kale.
Raijin didn't dare speak; his plan to defeat Caulifla had gone wrong and he'd been presented with a situation that he couldn't possibly overcome alone with the emergence of a fusion of two powerful foes into one whose energy was sending shivers down his spine.
"C'mon you bastard… fight me" Kefla roared; kicking off the ground with so much force that the floor tore up from her muscle strength alone, her black hair whipped backwards as she shoulder-charged an on-guard Raijin though the blow took him off his feet.
Staring into the joyous eyes and expression of Kefla as he barrelled Raijin through multiple walls of Kachi Kachin; each walls leaving shards and splinters in Raijin's flesh as he felt helpless against Kefla's insane base speed, gritting his teeth as he emitted a wave of his own energies pushing Kefla back as well as simultaneously transforming into a Super Saiyan 4.
"Now you're showing your full strength! Don't go holding anything back!" Kefla screamed as two-tone flames burst into life around her, her left side blazing with pink flames while her left burnt with green flames.
Though reluctant to fight an opponent so much faster and stronger than he was; he knew that despite his lack of most Saiyan traits but he'd still ascended beyond anything he'd thought himself capable of but he still had yet to stand side-by-side with Goku and Vegeta of whom were still stronger than he was.
"Fine… you win Kefla! I'll fight you with everything I have!" Raijin roared at the top of his lungs; his body ablaze with a mixture of red God Ki flames and golden flames that felt like he was stepping toward some kind of new power.
A grinning Kefla charged just as Raijin did; their fists meeting with an echoing shockwave that blasted entire tiles and boulders of Kachi Kachin apart with ease, with each fist thrown meeting another fist resulting in blast waves of air tearing through the arena blowing apart and dust clouds risen; Raijin and Kefla kicking off what little floor that had as their strength broke down the unstable floor around them until they had but stepping stones floating in the air.
Aware of the danger he was in; Raijin allowed his enhanced senses as a Super Saiyan 4 to guide his feet to find footholds while Kefla merely landed wherever with Caulifla's experience as a street brawler allowing her to kick off any surface coupled with Kale's great speed, Raijin couldn't help but think that he might be eliminated in this fight.
That one thought of elimination slowed Raijin's reaction speed as Kefla struck with a double fisted sledgehammer to Raijin's head knocking him into the interior walls of the arena; gasping for a breath before Kefla followed-up with a barrage of punches and stamps that lasted for a full minute, Raijin barely able to get an attack in or counter the barrage.
Kefla's eyes narrowed on Raijin leaving her unable to notice as a flash of purple and gold rushed past above them though Raijin pressed a hand against the floor only to fire off a blast and whip up a fresh dust cloud causing Kefla to pause her assault giving Raijin a moment to counter with a stamping kick straight to Kefla's stomach.
Gasping for a breath after taking a sudden hit; Kefla grinned as Raijin had barely done any damage to her, her body radiating with green shimmering energy as he fired a hot pink blast from Caulifla's arsenal directly into Raijin's face pushing him back into the collapsing walls of the arena's interior.
The Grand Priest.
Hovering over the arena whilst merely watching as the arena that He and The Angels had worked so hard on had crumbled into ruin over the course of thirty minutes to the point that only half of the original structure remained while the other half had either fell into the murky depths of the Null World's atmosphere or hovered in the air as a lifeline to those lucky enough to land on one without their flight abilities.
"Oh my… quite the destructive manner in which these chosen Mortals fight…" The Grand Priest muttered to himself as he bore witness to the battles until spotting a small figure falling from the arena.
"The Saiyan named Cabba representing Universe 6 has been eliminated by Frieza of Universe 7 leaving Kefla as the sole remaining member of Team Universe 6" The Grand Priest spoke with his ever-present smirk though the mysterious energy Frieza utilised was unlike that of any Mortal.
Kefla and Raijin.
Kefla glanced up out from the corners of her eyes at the stands as Cabba materialised within the seats and took his place next to Hit though Champa looked dismayed at the loss of another team member; her body beginning to shimmer with green mist-like energy upon realising she was the last one left from The Sixth Universe, with Raijin laying in the dirt at her feet though he slowly began to rise back to his feet.
Feeling the aches and pains that came from fighting another Saiyan; Raijin rose to his feet with his right hand clutching his chest after feeling the possibility of broken ribs or at least a fracture or two.
"Kefla…" Raijin muttered; his own body shimmering with energy as his Super Saiyan 4 Form drew more of his remaining strength to keep him fighting and able to counter any attacks Kefla might throw at him.
Kefla's teeth grinded together as she turned to face Raijin; her anger roused as her spikey black hair flashed with a blazing green light before her entire body had transformed, Kefla stood with her muscles only slightly increased in size and definition; her black hair shone a radiant green as bright green flames and green lightning coursed around her whole body.
Raijin could only stand in awe; he'd never seen a Super Saiyan Form like it for Kefla's form was like a combination of Kale's Berserk Form and Caulifla's Super Saiyan 2 had ascended to a whole new level never before seen by any God nor Mortal.
Kefla flexed her shoulders and her knees as her new powers as a Super Saiyan coursed through her; grinning as she caught Raijin's awe-struck eyes only reacting with a hand gesture for him to come towards her, "Come on… I'll give you one free shot".
Grunting at the provocation Kefla was giving him; Raijin's flames burnt into new life as he kicked off the remains of the floor and slamming his right fist directly into Kefla's unguarded face, the Saiyan Woman's head being knocked back from the blow while her body slid backwards from the force but her smile never faded even though Raijin had struck her as hard as he could.
"Weak…" Kefla muttered with disappointment once she brought her head back around with her ever-present grin as Raijin had struck her; winding back both her arms faster than Raijin could react even with his Animal Instincts warning him, Kefla's fists slamming Raijin in the chest cavity and abdomen with such force that her own energy blasted him backwards.
Raijin barely had time to react to Kefla's attack; digging his feet into the floor only for the damaged arena flooring to shred under his bare feet until reaching a stronger tile torn out from the floor by his path and halting his momentum.
Raijin hadn't felt such shivers down his spine since he stood alone against Zamasu after sending Bulma, Goku and Vegeta back in Time without him; this time he stood alone against the unknowable power of Kefla charging at him with blinding speed that took him off his feet, a dozen lightning-fast punches to his stomach winding him before a palm thrust slammed into his jawline and followed by a forceful thrust backwards until his feet left the floor of the arena.
Observation Stands.
"YES! Defeat those Universe 7 Saiyans Kefla!" Champa roared at the top of his lungs while Vados merely watched with keen interest but oddly silent when she was usually so vocal.
Botamo, Magetta, Pilina and Saonel all up out of their seats and cheering for Kefla by chanting her name and supporting their final team member.
Cabba could only watch through one eye as the pain he'd suffered from Frieza's invisible attack while Hit sat by his side; Hit's eyes focussed solely on the battle between Raijin and Kefla.
Meanwhile on Universe 7's side; Beerus and Whis sat in watch carefully and worriedly watching as Raijin seemingly was falling into the depths only to suddenly pull himself back into the arena, Krillin, Piccolo and Roshi all clenching their fists to their chests as that particular moment had forced them to forget to breath.
Raijin.
Gritting his teeth as the floor left his feet; Raijin's Tail miraculously caught hold of a fragment and pulled him back into the arena's boundaries though Raijin flinched in pain as the fragment caused a slight beading of blood from his tail.
Growling at Raijin's sheer luck but still pleased that he survived her attempt at eliminating him; Kefla charged ahead with unnatural speed for a Super Saiyan leaving only a green ghostly figure of herself behind as she knee-kicked Raijin in the ribs causing him to spit up blood but Raijin countered with an elbow to her shoulder in the exchange of blows.
"Not bad… you actually hit me" Kefla spoke with obvious overconfidence; brushing off Raijin's elbow strike like it was nothing more than a bug bite to her, throwing a vicious slugger fist towards Raijin's head only for Raijin's left arm to block it.
Raijin couldn't help but smile as the Saiyan desire for stronger opponents burned in his mind; his fight with Kefla was all he could think about for his thoughts on the strange wall in his Mindscape, the impending threat of Jiren and Team Universe 11, the wellbeing of his own Team were all gone and only Kefla mattered.
Twisting his left arm and clamping down on Kefla's right wrist; Raijin smirked as he struck Kefla in the chest with a punch only for Kefla to counter with a punch of her own, the two Saiyans grinning widely as they exchanged punch after punch with a kick to the stomach thrown in by Kefla that she'd intended to strike the groin but Raijin released her wrist and took a backstep only to execute a roundhouse kick to Kefla's neck but barely fazed her.
Kefla smirked as she cast her arms out from her body; an array of small pink energy orbs hovering in the air created by the casting of her arms, the pink orbs firing outwards as green beams and taking Raijin by surprise but backflipping across unstable ground to dodge proved a bad idea as his wrists caught loose stones and caused him to be blasted away by Kefla's orb beams.
Cursing his bad judgement and picking himself up out of the rubble only to meet the sight of Kefla's knees inches from his face and being knocked backwards again; a strong hand grabbing him by his thick and wild hair and slamming him into the rubble again only to then be tossed aside.
Panting for breath as Super Saiyan 4 vanished from his body leaving Raijin as bruised and beaten as he truly was; panting for breath as Raijin rose back to his feet but his knees buckling out from under him though the will to keep fighting on still burned within his Saiyan Blood.
With his arms and legs all shaking after being on the receiving end of so many of Kefla's attacks; Raijin gritted his teeth as he struggled to rise back to his feet and face his opponent once more only to feel the crushing blow of Kefla's axe kick in his back once again and again sending the Saiyan crashing into the floor.
"This is for making me look like a total fucking idiot!" Kefla surprisingly spoke in Caulifla's voice when referring to Raijin tricking Caulifla into draining away her stamina and energy with the act of teaching her Super Saiyan 3; spitting down on Raijin's defeated body before winding both her arms back and focussing her energy with the intent of eliminating Raijin once and for all, her energy taking the form of two circular saws each flashing green and pink respectively.
Raijin grit his teeth so hard that his gums bled; sensing the immense energy that he couldn't possibly match in his current exhausted state merely waiting for the blow to come but no impact came, no crushing weight nor pain from being blasted or struck, glancing out the corner of his eye only to see Kefla's right arm being held by the left hand of a dear friend: Goku.
"You just leave this one to me buddy… I've been itching to fight one of the Universe 6 Saiyans" Goku spoke with a tone of great confidence; his body recovered from the drain and pain of his fight with Jiren and Agnilasa, his fists slamming together as he and Kefla both grinned in excitement at the idea of fighting each other while Raijin lay defeated in the ruined floor and conceding his defeat to Kefla.
