The Three Legendary Saiyans.

Chapter 62: Supersonic Clash

Raijin.

The sounds of battle echoing across the arena as fists met, the sounds of beams clashing and the heat of energies igniting the very air and consuming the oxygen, the battles raging left Raijin and Dyspo staring down at each other.

"So how do you want to do this" Dyspo began to talk; closing his eyes for a split second to blink only to be met with a sudden punch to his face and a knee to his chest knocking The Pride Trooper down from his raised platform of debris.

"Just like a villain to attack when my guard is down" Dyspo spoke through a mouthful of his own blood for Raijin's punch had not only forced Dyspo to bite his tongue but also bust his lip causing the beading of his purple blood.

"Is it noble to let your guard down so blatantly?" Raijin shot back at Dyspo; showing a smile of enjoyment as he bent his knees and opened his hands in a claw-like manner.

"Point given; but you'll never get a hit on me like that again" Dyspo spoke with a snide smile; his body becoming clad in a thin shimmering violet aura that coated his entire body.

Raijin raised an eyebrow at Dyspo's words upon spotting the violet aura emerging around his thin athletic body; blinking as dust got into his eyes only to see that Dyspo was gone, tensing up for losing his adversary until a slap to the back of the head nearly tipped Raijin over.

Dyspo ran circles around Raijin at speeds that the arena around became little more than a blurring image but Raijin's flames gave him something to target; jumping up and bouncing off walls of torn-up tiles and attacking Raijin with slaps or kicks in a hit-and-run tactic strategy.

"What the actual hell?!" Raijin muttered to himself as Dyspo vanished in and out from Raijin's sight; hardly able to track Dyspo's incredibly fast movements to the point of being unable to sense him coming before another high-speed slap knocked him off balance.

Frustrated with Dyspo's speed and drawing on the energy he'd regained thanks to Android 18 as Raijin became cloaked in the red flames of his God Ki as he transformed into his Super Saiyan 4 Full Power Form; his heightened animal-like senses warning him as Dyspo rushed towards him and acting on reflex dodged the violet blur that was Dyspo.

Grimacing as Raijin's reactions began catch up with his incredible Supersonic Speed Mode; Dyspo raced as fast as his legs would carry him to the point that he ran across the walls of torn up tiles, his speed picking up more and more until Dyspo kicked off a wall only to execute a flying kick at speeds that would instantly knock out any opponent; the kick flew straight until his foot reached Raijin's head: striking him perfectly and sending his Saiyan opponent crumbling to the floor.

Reeling from the kick to the back of the head; Raijin stood back up from being laid out on the floor with furious intent to beat the Pride Trooper into the dirt only to see darkness around him and the stone wall he'd been seeing for some time, sighing in anguish at the teasing wall barricading him from a new strength he desperately needed if he was to ensure his Universe's survival but something seemed off.

Glancing at the wall again Raijin noticed the wall had engraved patterns of himself, ignoring the patterns entirely but pushed on the door and feeling it shift slightly; a golden light seeping through the gap in the doors but halted only allowing a glimmer of what lied beyond tease him further.

"For God's sake… this again" Raijin muttered to himself; turning his back on the newly-revealed Doorway only to see the barriers he'd overcome before, the shimmering veil that he had passed through to attain Super Saiyan 2 and the shattered stain-glass window he'd broken through to gain the risky powers of Super Saiyan 3, gazing upwards Raijin saw the image of a Full Moon that he'd seen the night be became a Super Saiyan 4 for the first time.

Stepping away from The Doorway only to hear the sounds of locks turning as The Doorway cracked open slightly and beaming a thin ray of a golden radiance towards Raijin; turning to meet the light as Raijin saw a figure standing beyond with its hand beaconing to him but was unable to step forward to take the hand.

Dyspo halted his great speed as the air began to feel heavy and ominous; turning in the direction here Toppo had been fighting and a certain ominous feeling was coming from there but whatever he was sensing was coming from Raijin of whom merely stood in one spot gazing down at his hands.

"The hell is wrong with you? Giving up because you can't hit me?!" Dyspo mocked; puffing out his chest in pride of his great speed before a blast took him off his feet and scrambling down on all fours.

Raijin stood with his right hand stretched out in a beam firing gesture; the red flames of his God Ki simmering a mere embers around his body, "I'm nearly there… one more breakthrough".

"What are you babbling about?" Dyspo demanded; his violet aura remerging around his body as he again took off into Supersonic Mode; his blurred vision showing no signs of Raijin as his aura had vanished entirely from detection until a blinding golden flame burst into life around Raijin's body.

Halting by the sudden heat that Dyspo had only ever felt once before from Jiren; he gazed as Raijin's crimson-furred body was clad in a brilliant golden fire that he had never seen before from any other Super Saiyan Form he'd been witness too during his observations, as Raijin turned to meet the eyes of Dyspo; he noted that Raijin's irises had a slight turquoise tint to them instead of the yellow that they usually were as a Super Saiyan 4.

"What happened to you? Why have you been hiding this strength?" Dyspo shuddered as he stared into Raijin's eyes; his pupils stared solely back at him: marking him as a foe to be defeated.

"I'm still incomplete… I'll defeat you and then move on to a stronger opponent… you have speed but nothing else" Raijin spoke enigmatically about his sudden new strength as his open hands curled into fists inducing the golden flames surrounding his body to burn brighter and stronger as the muscles across his body felt revitalised by his sudden new aura.

Dyspo grit his teeth at the insult to his abilities; his body cloaking itself in violet energy and shining brighter than before, "You fucking dare talk to me like that?! I am the fastest man in all of The Pride Troopers of Universe 11! Do not make a mockery of my speed!".

Raijin waited as Dyspo clad himself in his bright violet energy and vanished from sight; his eyes darting around as if following Dyspo's moves but instead he was reading the energy, reading where Dyspo would move to, his heightened instincts telling him to step left for as he did Dyspo rushed past missing his target.

Frustrated by the perfect dodge Raijin employed to avoid a flying supersonic kick; Dyspo rushed in at blinding speeds with his arms held out in and attempt to clothesline Raijin only for the Saiyan to duck underneath the attack.

"Is he using? …no it can't be possible… he's not even glowing silver!" Dyspo muttered to himself as he ran circles around Raijin though he could still see Raijin's eyes following him despite his great speed

Reacting solely on his honed instincts; sensing the impending presence of Dyspo looming over him for he was about to strike as Raijin moved his head out of the path of Dyspo's supersonic fist and strike back with frightening speed by executing a flawless backhand to Dyspo's face with enough force to break his bucktooth and send it flying into the debris.

"How? How did you hit me? Can you use Ultra Instinct too?!" Dyspo shouted in disbelief for nobody but Toppo and Jiren had ever managed to strike him while moving at Supersonic Speed and now a Saiyan had successfully managed a near-impossible feat.

"Ultra… no; but Instinct… yes" Raijin smirked so widely that he bared his teeth; the pupils of his eyes having narrowed like a predator targeting its prey when eyeing Dyspo, an image that terrified Dyspo into backing away before running tail and running away.

Raijin felt his lips curl into a grin; bending his knees before kicking off the floor and giving chase after Dyspo, the arena around him melting into a meaningless blur as he and Dyspo raced circles around the remains of the arena; losing count of how many laps they'd been made until Raijin's hand slightly touched Dyspo's and alarming him.

Dyspo's mind went haywire as soon as he felt Raijin's hand touch his shoulder while running at his top speed; thoughts of the inconceivable act of keeping up with him at Supersonic Speed much less touching him again while in that state, slowing down his speed as his heels came to screeching halt; turning around and finding Raijin standing before him with a primitive smile like a beast catching his prey.

A wave of intimidation ran through Dyspo's brain upon seeing Raijin's smile; taking a step backwards unknowingly stepping towards the broken sections of the arena where only elimination awaited those that fell, becoming clad in violet energy again Dyspo hopped out into the open space littered only with floating platforms that splintered off from the arena; his every step used to pounce from one platform to the next until reaching the opposing side.

"HA! Try to follow me now asshole!" Dyspo yelled back in Raijin's direction; flipping him a middle finger while waiting for Raijin's next move, a beat of nervous sweat dripping from his brow fell as Dyspo waited.

Looking over the vast empty space and as the platforms were already sinking into the murky clouds and would likely fall deeper if he were to step on them; smirking as an idea came to him upon spotting that two platforms remained floating.

With his legs tensing at the moment of kicking off the ground Raijin heard a collective gasp from the Observation Stands as his feet glided across the murky clouds only for his left foot land on a small platform barely big enough for his foot; the weak stone splintering under Raijin's foot as he propelled himself further forward for his right foot to meet a second stone and smashing it under foot, his balance offset forcing Raijin to boost his speed with the newfound energy; golden fire bursting out from his body and pushing forward until meeting a stunned and shocked Dyspo.

Barely a word escaped Raijin's lips as he thrust out his left hand and grabbing the shocked Pride Trooper by the neck; forcing him backwards with the sheer momentum and superior strength, grinning widely as Raijin forced Dyspo backwards and crashing into a solid wall of Kachi Kachin only for the wall to break apart as Dyspo was rammed through the obstacle causing him to scream in pain.

Grinning a little wider as Dyspo screamed in pain; Raijin eyed another wall of torn-up tiles from the floor and proceeded to force Dyspo through a second wall which shattered into fragments upon Dyspo was forced through the hard material.

Daring to open his good eye in-between crashes through walls; all Dyspo saw was Raijin's grinning face through the blazing golden fire burning across his entire body, flinching in pain as the second wall broke as Dyspo's body was bulldozed through a third tile of the torn-up floor; kicking up with his feet and landing a lucky kick to Raijin's face halted the rushing assault as Dyspo freed himself from Raijin's grasp only for his feet to skid across the floor when coming to a halt.

"So little rabbit… how do you like my speed? I might be able to go a little faster" Raijin spoke after spitting out a blob of blood and saliva; his body's golden fire vanishing as quickly as the flames had come only moments ago.

"Will you just stop attacking me! You've already proven your strength" Dyspo raised his hands in defence as Raijin wound back his fist to strike again; his Pride Trooper Uniform in tatters following the brutal battle they'd waged proven by the bleeding cuts in his back.

"Say you're sorry for insulting Hit's memory and maybe I'll stop" Raijin spoke with a growl; demanding Dyspo to apologise for insulting Hit's memory though he wanted to keep beating Dyspo until the floor gave way and letting him fall.

"Alright! I'm sorry for insulting your friend" Dyspo grimaced at Raijin's clear intention to beat him into a bloody pulp since he became more animalistic; begrudgingly admitting his fault in the manner that the noble Pride Troopers should act though he still disliked the act of apologising to a foe.

"Tell you what Dyspo… I'll give you one last chance to eliminate me; come on… hit me with all of your speed and strength" Raijin smiled; pulling Dyspo back onto solid ground only to take a step backwards and spreading his arms out in a blatant lack of any guard upon inviting Dyspo's best effort.

Dyspo felt an involuntary shiver as Raijin made his proposal; feeling resolute in the face of arrogance that this Saiyan was displaying put Dyspo on edge, cladding himself with violet energies as he vanished on the spot and rushing towards the unguarded Saiyan with all of his speed only to be struck in the chest with a reactive palm strike that sent the speedy Pride Trooper hurtling off the side of the arena only this time having no platforms to leap off.

Raijin grinned to himself as he watched Dyspo fall into the murky clouds; letting out a deep breath before the floor under his feet began to rumble with the rapidly increasing energies of Goku and Vegeta.

Observation Stands.

"Well what do you know… Raijin just defeated Dyspo with the same move he defeated Hit with back during your little squabble with Lord Champa" Vados chimed with a hint of surprise in her voice, The Angel having wandered into the seat besides Whis after her Universe being erased.

"Yes indeed he did; quite curious as to how he did though" Whis chimed in; his left hand touching his chin as he carefully examined the battles; his eyes showing signs of fascination in not only Raijin's sudden power-up but also the demonstration of the abilities of the remaining members of Team Universe 7.

"He's trying to reach Ultra Instinct… but its never as easy as just reacting to hostility or an attack, the power must awaken within one's self and move without conscious thought" Beerus spoke with no emotion; finally breaking his silence following Champa's erasure.

"Was I right? Does Raijin have that potential?" Krillin asked reverently when speaking to the divine beings; eager to know if his guesses had been correct.

"It's possible but also impossible to truly know unless one enters The Omen State as Goku has done twice now" Whis spoke with his enigmatic smile; his analytical gaze latching onto Raijin as he ran towards Goku's, Vegeta's and Jiren's battlefield as if he was expecting something.

Raijin.

Letting out a deep exhale as Raijin sensed his friends energies; the rejuvenating light of the sudden power-up that came from beyond that door remaining in his body as when he closed his eyes he still saw the stone door bearing glowing crack between the handle-less wall remained within his sight, "I'm almost there…".

The pillars of blue and red flames matched only by a glittering blue pillar of flames plumed from the horizon from seemingly out of nowhere and cutting off Raijin's train of thought as he knew too well whose energies he was sensing and he still wanted a piece of who the other two Saiyans were fighting.
