Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAvGFqlm7cUP
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Gr0H0a3J
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANA2jCmFJY6Uc
Goku smirked.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAejrr4JK9b0
Goku: “Bring it!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAJCiNUOqgzA
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA6iXdgjeDh6
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAElEr9O3k3E
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAe2vB0ccdYM
Amaterazu: “What!?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAUDRUCue83L
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAGxmTJiSADJ
He shattered the shield, smashing his fist into Amaterazu's face. The burns on his knuckles faded and a new, stronger, layer of skin grew on his hand. Amaterazu swung his spear forward, only for it to be caught by Goku. He broke it in half with his elbow and immediately used his same arm to hit Amaterazu with a backhand in his face, followed it up with a hook, using his other arm. He went in for a roundhouse kick but Amaterazu blocked it with his forearm. He formed a gauntlet with spikes around and took a shot at Goku. Goku dodged it just barely, getting a scratch on his face. He caught Amaterazu's arm, and with his other arm, he struck his elbow using his palm, breaking Amaterazu's arm. A sharp bone, shaped like a blade, tore through the broken arm. Amaterazu stabbed it into Goku's lung. Goku spit blood. He shot a ki blast at Amaterazu's face. The fire God weaved his head to the side, avoiding the blast.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAhp4ddg2Yfx
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAp2otwQvXy1
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAhIaTt7buVX
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
875Please respect copyright.PENANARBoHHRYg0g
Goku waved his hand in his direction. The ki blast he fired earlier returned and hit Amaterazu in the head. Goku removed the bone from his lung and kneed Amaterazu's nose.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAL3q5dGDqvq
Goku: “I'm better!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAOiIJuwmiwl
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAqUE6EsiQZ9
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANASgvS0kKizL
He struck Amaterazu with a clean right to his face. The punch sent him flying. Goku continued the assault with a heavy kick to his stomach. He flew a few feet back and hit him with an uppercut that tossed him further into the air. He dashed upwards, preparing his palms to strike. Goku drove his palms straight into Amaterazu right before making contact. The force generated an explosion that dispersed the red aura. Amaterazu's body floated in the air. Chunks of it had broken off from the impact.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAhY2K2MkBBl
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAYrJnfncGX6
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAXQJFkh4JxA
Krillin landed next to the prince.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAfpfCQTOOAn
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAEC29E0RyDK
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAYq3CP7WkjY
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA0923Ldcdnc
Amaterazu: “So, you finally pushed me into trying. You realize it's futile right? The moment you force me to my limit, I'll simply grow and improve whatever I'm lacking!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANA9NlzSQWBOz
Goku: “The other us couldn't succeed in defeating him. But you're not like him, you have skill that breaches the barrier of strength, you have the wisdom that he didn't and more. You don't have the strength to win, but with faster adaptability than before, that won't be a problem.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAnX4ML3JhhI
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANARdz1vKWf9o
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAgaVbusR5Cl
Amaterazu lowered his eyebrows in irritation. Without further hesitation, he commenced his attack. He let off a flurry of physical attacks. Goku dodged and blocked them with his best effort. Amaterazu swung his spear towards Goku's head. He swiftly leaned his head to the side, suffering a graze from the spear.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAE56YYxvh0r
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAGTRlG7MgBN
Amaterazu used the moment of distraction to land a knee to Goku's gut. He spit blood from the blow. His body faded away into thin air.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA70ITFe1tpt
Amaterazu: “This again?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANANRzbHp1azU
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAy61QoWIfq2
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAjLamIQ79g9
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAccdGFV4Ma8
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAlo4H74Gua4
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAPrCjh4DlEf
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAxwd0S6RujY
875Please respect copyright.PENANAImFhpP008A
Amaterazu spread out his arms and legs, releasing a scorching wave of fire that disintegrated all the after images at once. Goku teleported in front of him. Amaterazu looked down, his eyes widened, realizing he left himself open. Goku's fist glowed red.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAhMrFkTELJe
Goku: “Take this!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAthniNdXLpC
He delivered an explosive punch to his stomach. Amaterazu gagged before being knocked into multiple mountains, each exploding upon colliding. The blow created shockwaves which shook the earth. He charged a sphere of ki using both of his hands and fired it at the fallen god. The sphere connected, exploding upon making contact.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA1hXzrBFIYX
“Goku!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAwQAoYp3kyJ
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAYVU4eZqhvl
King Kai: “Listen, I just got Intel from the Supreme Kai. This Amaterazu guy, he's no joke! With the way you're fighting now, you can't beat him!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAS9vLYAvHgF
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANACJJs1sCJ5n
King Kai: “As long as he's motivated by the hope of the Tatsu race, Amaterazu will continue to evolve. The only way to destroy him now is to end it with a single blow! If he has even as little as an inch of life to hang on to, he will recover and his body will do everything to not fall victim to that trauma again!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAmvRHT4EjCm
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAxLe8EV6cK8
Goku's tone was harsh.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA29ajxz3eu5
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAzjKyWy0P1T
Amaterazu rose from the rubble, he was accompanied by multiple clones which followed his lead on his way back to Goku. They all formed a storm of fire arrows and launched them his way. He reacted quickly, using instant transmission to teleport near one of the clones. He got a hold of its shoulder and used his technique again, transporting both of them in front of the arrows. He caught the clone in a rear naked choke, preventing it from moving. The arrows pierced through it. He let go and kicked him aside.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAlzCChKsIJt
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAB9zjMYUiq9
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAq4VP9CMf9S
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAoszm3uvX7u
Four different clones bound Goku's arms and legs with their flame chains. They pulled them apart to restrict him from moving. Another one came in and bashed his flame gauntlet into Goku's face. The blow knocked blood from him. He continued the assault, hitting him with multiple combinations to the face and body.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAyi3GWO1Ono
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAO1YedCDLET
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
875Please respect copyright.PENANARCAmXkc3MN
Goku: “You continue to go on about how a stronger saiyan fell to you, and yet you still haven't kept your promise of doing the same to me.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAHtHmNRo9dY
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAjQpepjfBQ5
He struck him again, knocking more blood out and leaving another bruise. He went for another blow to his cheek. His fist came to a stop, as though it had crashed into an immovable force. Goku turned his head to his opponent. Amaterazu struggled to push against it. Goku smirked before breaking free from the grasp of the chains. He wrapped them around his arms and legs, ignoring his skin screaming from the burn, and struck the clone that stood before him with a mighty combination of attacks, using the chains to amplify his damage. He slammed his arms into his head, smashing it clean off. The body collapsed from the sky.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAam9nxl24r2
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAOq1mOZ2kqN
The clones tensed up, they brushed aside his words despite them stirring up irritation amongst them, and charged in to attack. Goku shot past all of them, reaching one that was far from the rest. He stood face to face with him.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA3W21f02ILF
Goku: “Using them to buy yourself some time to recover. It's not so ideal when your ki levels are higher than theirs, picking you apart is like picking an elephant from a group of mice.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAEcwL4gUPkQ
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAhJxqRI4Qgt
Amaterazu swung his spear forward, only for it to be caught by his own chains which Goku wielded. He yanked it away and tossed it aside. Amaterazu desperately went in for a sharp right, Goku caught the attack with the chains, he twisted Amaterazu’s arm which left his guard open. He kneed him in the face. After unbinding his arm, he wrapped the chains around his neck and viciously swung him around, tossing him into space. The force of the throw sent Amaterazu smashing through entire planets.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAWml1DmS5yJ
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAiHQ8EYM0UR
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA39XXpFzpb2
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAd5iwWgYPwM
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
875Please respect copyright.PENANArQ54eepH3B
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANA18l8YUyGDl
The dragon diety's forearm cracked. Goku smirked and went in for a roundhouse kick. Amaterazu leaned back, evading the kick. They took a distance from one another. Amaterazu was visibly irritated while Goku's confidence was glowing more than ever.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA6klXYHK9Xe
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAnf5iGtbkYc
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ4tjlFPYl
The two warriors prepared their stances before engaging in intense combat. They clashed back and forth, trading blows, each warrior displayed their vast yet distinct fighting styles. The speed of their battle was too much for the spectators to see, the shockwaves they left behind were the only visible indicator of their battle. Goku landed a punch to the diety's face. Amaterazu landed a kick to Goku's liver. Goku hit an uppercut on his jaw. Amaterazu slashed Goku's face with his claws. The two charged a ki blast in their palms and slammed each their blast into each other's. The collision created an explosion that sent both of them flying away. They caught their balance and paused for a moment. Amaterazu took heavy breaths. His body was bruised and slightly injured. Goku's body trembled and his breaths were heavy, but his smirk remained.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAeIuou93lSf
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANACQpCARJhPi
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAlTOxUX5WgS
Goku: “A finisher?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAL2c7w9AejH
Amaterazu spread out his arms. An aura of fire illuminated his body. The aura grew larger than a mountain and formed itself into a giant avatar made of flames. Massive, feathered like wings, bloomed from the avatar. He flew into out of orbit, the massive figure's glow could be seen from earth. He forged a bow and arrow, pulling back on the bow to prepare the shot.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAFE77A1bAyW
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAidIl9GLXMA
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAhQC8dUTRce
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAqD2P40asZO
He shot forth the arrow which split into three before merging back together, taking the shape of a Phoenix. The arrow pierced through the clouds, splitting through even atoms. It created a massive gap in the clouds, expanding as large as a continent. Earth's defenders watched in horror as the mighty arrow made its way towards them.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA1nHkCSadP8
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANA97Nl7WW1E4
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAxjFNPEcjha
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAMzHrz4FJol
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA9srOM73SoH
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANA6BVjEtdS4B
He fired his attack at the arrow. Amaterazu's attack met no resistance against Goku's Kamehameha, it pierced right through the blast like nothing.
875Please respect copyright.PENANALQOMP1JDhX
Goku: “I'm stumped, I'm finally paying the price for my bluff, I never had the strength to compete. No! All this time I've been relying on my natural power. I have to look further into what I have at my disposal. He relied on his natural strength, I have that and more.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAkbIb9zidmi
Goku relaxed himself and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath. He opened his eyes again, revealing a red glow in his pupils. He examined his hand.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAvNkIiiZZzy
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAh1tyKabJRT
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAxTntWGFDJ9
Krillin: “Me too!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1ts3uB7yo
Goku rushed into the phoenix. He caught a hold of the tip of its beak, using all of his might to hold it back from piercing him. The edge was only centimeters away from his face. The force of the arrow was pushing him back.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAqVzA7t2qT6
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANA6NcDPREFu0
The heat of the arrow scorched Goku's skin. He continued to struggle. Every last inch of his body was urging him to let go of the phoenix, but even as his body pleaded for mercy, he endured through the pain.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAAGkLLCJTk6
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANALeyvaqv2b3
He let out screams of agony and determination. The attack's momentum was finally coming to a stop. To everyone's surprise, Goku forced the arrow still. He began to swing it around, gradually picking up speed with each swing. He tossed the arrow back at its sender after building up enough momentum. Amaterazu was shocked to see his own weapon turned against him. With no time to counter, his avatar raised its hands to block the attack. The phoenix smashed into Amaterazu's avatar, creating an explosion that blew away even those who were on earth. Mountains were wiped out, trees were demolished, the landscape was reduced to nothing but a massive crater. The smoke cleared, Amaterazu came crashing down from the sky. Vegeta laid face down, slowly getting up. He desperately examined the area for his allies, quickly noticing they were all fine from the explosion.
875Please respect copyright.PENANArNA4unIFA8
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAlRaFsqPm7r

875Please respect copyright.PENANAzyewbLUpcg

875Please respect copyright.PENANAs7J3WC92m8
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANALbEkyUlupx
Goku: “He's done.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAyK3MvcJSol
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAsOH5dp8sF5
Goku: “At his prime, he was a collected warrior with confidence along with the skill and power to compliment it. The truth is, I never had what it took to beat him. So I severed the source of his power and fooled him into believing the situation was hopeless. Without his mind, body and soul joined in perfect harmony, the source of his power crumbled apart. An individual powered by his hope has nothing to fight with if there is no hope to guide him. The other me couldn't understand that, he didn't see beyond into the opponent, that's why he failed.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ66crGoW9
Vegeta: “I don't want to ruin this victory, but I can't help but feel like this win hasn't helped your little dilemma much.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAmqWiXbUK1M
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAB5AbPPa8Cj
Vegeta: “Right.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANA66iafoCux1
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.
875Please respect copyright.PENANA0iDEOlVOWS

875Please respect copyright.PENANAy0ML5j7Yxi

875Please respect copyright.PENANA4HP8h2Gv3n
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAFBgVD8oEVh
Vegeta: “Quit it! The man you were looking for is dead. You've served your punishment. My planet was destroyed years ago, most of my people were lost. Now I take every chance to help any fellow saiyan I meet however I can, that is a duty I took upon myself as the prince of the saiyans. Don't throw your life away like I almost did, you still have your people, return to them and be the leader they need you to be. Revenge serves no purpose to them.”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAbRQzc9xycs
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
875Please respect copyright.PENANAbN5JPWYR53
Amaterazu: “I can't face them… not like this.”

875Please respect copyright.PENANA6A29DZuQB9
Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANAu6fJn8Ac0g
Goku raised his hand to Amaterazu’s face and fired a blast, destroying him completely. Vegeta watched in total shock, unable to comprehend what he had just witnessed. Goku smirked.

875Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sl7GYQLKc
Goku: “No, this IS me! I've never felt so free and relaxed like right now. He was right all along, my connections and values were holding me back, hindering my sanity. This is who I am, Vegeta. A warrior! The greatest warrior that ever lived, Son Goku!”
875Please respect copyright.PENANACjRr7xAEsX

875Please respect copyright.PENANA2GCjw5c3yt
