A wormhole emerged from a sudden explosion.

Goku: “They're returning!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L7UbpMx8f
Kakarot fell out from the wormhole, landing near the duo. The hole quickly closed up. Goku rushed to the fallen warrior. Kakarot laid flat on the floor, bleeding from his injuries. Goku leaned down near him.

Goku: “What happened? Where's Amaterazu?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfVCd8T4Fa
Kakarot: “Hehe… He's still out there.. I've failed.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bkJ2DWMm3
Goku: “Damn it! That was our last hope!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡserVcGlPY7
Goku: “Maybe we could do fusion again. No.. the time limit wouldn't allow us any shot at taking him out before our fusion ends. He's probably much stronger than ever as well.”

Kakarot: “Listen to me… Goku..”

Goku: “Save your breath, you're going to run your body dry of its remaining energy, I can still save you.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ybFEareA
Kakarot: “No… I'm not interested in living any longer. My age has caught up to me, my body gave up on me, there's nothing left to live for… If you want to win… you have to listen..”

Goku gave him a hesitant look.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYFmRaEVSD
Goku: “Go ahead.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJPRgvCJYK
Kakarot: “You're conflicted, that's why you're held back so much. You…You have to let all those conflictions go, if you want true peace, you have to let go of emotional ties, they're meaningless in the grand scheme… You and I… we both know the truth… we're warriors! We were meant to fight.. I know you're dying to know the secret of my power aren't you?”

Kakarot: “Hehe, you're right, he'll be here any minute… us saiyans, we were born to fight. Our species reigned supreme, long before Frieza's kind ruled the galaxies, we were untouchable. The very first saiyans had bodies that could adapt and overcome any obstacle. Our ability to grow from zenkai boosts is only an imitation of this. We didn't have emotional ties or commitments, we simply fought. It wasn't until our people began to grow more civilized.. that we began to lose that essence. We began to establish meaningless concepts like hierarchies, bonds, connections. Things that held us back. Our species grew weaker and more dependent on these factors, but me, I've managed to rediscover that side of our heritage and utilize it. Don't get it twisted, this isn't about saiyan pride or whatnot, this is about us! We were born to be the greatest warrior that ever was! You were not born to be a father or a friend, you were born to be a fighter! Those connections hold you back! You have to let them go. You know, I was wrong about you before. I was angry at your reliance on divine power, borrowed power, but I've seen you fight, you're amazing with it! You have everything I had and more! Use it, embrace it, become a greater warrior than I ever was! Show them who we are! No… show them, who YOU are!”

Goku: “I… I don't know if I can do that.. I need you to answer something for me. If you could've lived your life differently, would you? Don't you regret going out like this?”

Kakarot: “Why would I? I got to do what I love until the very end, I had a glorious end. I wouldn't have it any other way..”

Space and time tore apart, the God of fire descended from the sky.

Amaterazu: “Such a pathetic attempt to escape, trying to trap me in that other dimension was meaningless, I've learned to control my power, going in and out is a breeze. Now to finish what I started!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEC7CLaLcn
Goku: “I guess it's time huh?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPTdnBf17A

Amaterazu: ‘You again? Well then, as long as we end this I will not oppose your wish!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXKgkC55dP
Goku and Amaterazu charged at each other at the same time. Goku rushed Amaterazu with various punches and kicks, Amaterazu fended off all of his attacks with ease. Amaterazu whacked him away with his spear. Goku blocked the attack with his forearms, the spear left a burn mark. Amaterazu spread his arms out, releasing a wave of flame arrows headed directly to Goku.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGktQzzb4I
Goku: “Kamehameha!!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0PizKmvJ
Goku hit the arrows with a kamehameha, stopping a few in their tracks. Most of them pierced right through his blast with ease, stabbing into him as well. One of his legs and arms were pierced. He fell to his knee. His ultra instinct wore off. Amaterazu stood before him, looking down on him in pity.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs0sTPw14T
Amaterazu: “Fighting back is futile, I do not desire further conflict, but your punishment must be delivered. I've struck your most vital joints, you wont be getting up. Stand down and let me finish you swiftly and painlessly.”
Goku hesitated, but he gradually stood.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb964e0Kf4
Amaterazu: “Impossible!’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI80tqyzlQW
He swung his spear at the struggling saiyan, only for it to be caught before making contact. Goku stood all the way up, yanking the spear towards himself, pulling Amaterazu forward in return and punched his gut. Amaterazu arched forward from the punch. Goku charged a ball of ki in his hand and slammed it into his face, pushing him a few feet away.

Amaterazu: “What? That shouldn't be possible!”

Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6g07iGcDo
He shot a beam of energy from his mouth. Amaterazu stopped it with his shield, deflecting it away. Goku kneed the side of his head and followed it with a kick to his face. Goku's injuries were still visible but his body was numb to the pain. Amaterazu raised his arm, launching forward a wave of fire shaped like a dragon. Goku caught the flame with his bare hands, using all his strength to redirect it. Amaterazu appeared behind him and kicked his spine, making him drop his hands and engulfing him in the flames. Amaterazu smashed Goku into the ground with his spear, stabbing through his shoulder. Amaterazu flew downwards while holding onto his spear, digging the spear deeper into Goku while simultaneously burying him in the ground. He pointed his fingers at him in a gun-like shape.

Amaterazu: “Bang!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs44icz06cY
A small ball of fire was shot from his fingers, dispersing into a massive explosion upon making contact. Amaterazu leaped put of the hole he created.

Goku: “This.. feels.. great!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuUrRFQQza
Goku rushed out from under ground with a smirk slapped on his face. He charged at Amaterazu, rushing him with various attacks. Amaterazu fended them off and kicked him away. Goku caught his balance and immediately made his way back to the fire God. The fire that burned in his soul burned stronger than Amaterazu's flames. His wounds gradually healed faster than usual. His attacks grew sharper and heavier, his body was beginning to resist more punishment. Amaterazu struck Goku with his shield and rained down a barrage of various attacks on him, finishing it with a punch from a flame gauntlet. The punch sent Goku smashing into a mountain. Amaterazu waved his arm.

Amaterazu: “Marching Flames!”

The ground beneath him rumbled, the rumbling traveled to where Goku had fallen. Beacons of fire as wide as mountains, burst from beneath.

The flames dispersed. Revealing Goku levitating in the air. His hair was longer, he had a deep red outline around his eyes and his tail had grown back.

Kakarot's eyes were low, his body was cold. He looked at Goku from afar and gave a soft smirk.
