Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8XwuHEe7H
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA206u3YNRRI
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA42dvwcQ7T5
Goku smirked.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAT5nIkusPzT
Goku: “Bring it!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA7lB60HVvQv
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAxLig5QR4EN
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ9L2PtcJo
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA46AfnPuhE0
Amaterazu: “What!?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAOjSCdE0auZ
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAXavswh0ZD7
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA8OruktwTR6
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAsY29sbbb5x
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA6UDtxyWbbZ
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA3KJTSWhjOK
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA2o5Mf9PHwH
Goku: “I'm better!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANACo2n33OI6n
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAs5YNCrdP1m
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA2aWQaRUF7k
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAkeMbQawGlE
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAOyYuBAMgFZ
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA4aKPudR60N
Krillin landed next to the prince.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ4GmxkyRl
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAGNHofjGt8f
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAxrNzPyotuZ
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAQVwgTaCvoI
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!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAI3UjV2bjw1
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.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANATqRY0rjHnq
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA15Nr1SJLyN
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAAMXdt6Qm8n
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAzB5MOWDHTr
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAq3SsPoeRXn
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA1SDzTyzmeK
Amaterazu: “This again?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANALG1Nl1oIIp
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAFH84SS4hv0
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
877Please respect copyright.PENANArVxd2FRWvZ
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAgpbPJGid6n
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAEBlVd2AeNn
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAAuI9nGqMeB
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAFo67xfzcFQ
877Please respect copyright.PENANAVj4Z85TyJk
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAeSdkbwCXII
Goku: “Take this!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA1MDFSEGMSi
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAJW1MkZztkD
“Goku!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAfaNMbhD7Lz
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAH6nDn0aEqn
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!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAOR3cb29Uou
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAsHO9MjSULZ
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!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAlIHwMkV1vb
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAbiLA8XM5sY
Goku's tone was harsh.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAzDFmXN3T8X
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAVDHhaSIVL9
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAdPmgjYI8z1
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANATNdifxaKxk
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAg3POb9637I
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA1K3trDNs5y
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAuyc0EzC9C7
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAoeZ19gy6WJ
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAiZXPHITMTV
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.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAmnDJGQjf7m
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAOWDz4ITwPk
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANATvdqRjx1Pm
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAHX21NjLSN9
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAgDzBTDpX12
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.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAcF1DStt01F
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAjZaGqOYjAt
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAz9OXrvGJnx
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA4KjyqKRYc5
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
877Please respect copyright.PENANARDuW2udMsz
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAFwRYBs8m4g
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAV7myd1GYuS
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAUBPbGOFtiW
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAHUvwNRbRkG
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAbimIXiSInf
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAR03jBdkaCA
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAoamIj7s1kr
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAUnWx1BMKZr
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAWTvJYwAvaJ
Goku: “A finisher?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAA10VCw9wAx
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAhxVdPEsu4X
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANABSNGnDsFuL
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAOparaQ6gs1
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAi47BPc8DQb
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA9digC4m2K1
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAdvuOEgC7sV
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
877Please respect copyright.PENANARU5YBahPK6
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAiea6eCD5DF
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAorB7MADtSQ
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAb94ULKyIE9
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANA9qSIONCqsT
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.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANANtvufua9p1
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAmOr1PdewEy
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAEgP2mdweUg
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANACyf0QHvYja
Krillin: “Me too!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAomd8TW4z3g
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAJugV1Am6ZF
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAFgLrXnJUjN
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAH3A3xcztYL
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAmgFVqdI4Tw
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAwKZwPSiEWV
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAt8shISceg1

877Please respect copyright.PENANA3XfAUfmRgH

877Please respect copyright.PENANAGyvU2Nbz6Q
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAJABlv6wz6X
Goku: “He's done.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA2L4b10N3UU
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
877Please respect copyright.PENANACCgnkltt5L
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.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAslEsc79iE0
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.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2NcVYef1h
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANA8VzDzvTWCs

877Please respect copyright.PENANAGM1OkHIDnv
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

877Please respect copyright.PENANADwTNRAw6YI

877Please respect copyright.PENANAL49zToJXS3
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAt7armAYoZD
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.”
877Please respect copyright.PENANAorGjY4MZ4E
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
877Please respect copyright.PENANAPg8nIJgZ19

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”

877Please respect copyright.PENANACgSDqQItsK

877Please respect copyright.PENANAXOdjZfFGSS
