"Where is this sudden heat coming from?"

The Supreme Kai dripped in sweat as he questioned the source of his discomfort. His great elder wiped sweat off of his forehead, sharing his concern.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJMNg3dyAk
Elder Kai: “That's odd, this planet has had the same temperature since its creation! It's not supposed to rise or drop by any means.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCbS4hH5S9
Supreme Kai: “Do you have any idea what could be causing this?”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqUiZrFP3F
Elder Kai: “Let me take a look.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgMRB59cl3
The great elder shut his eyes, he searched the universe for a source. His eyes widened as he gasped in utter shock.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ztL3JdAy
Supreme Kai: “What is it? Great elder?!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAn9UNGRM0
Elder Kai: “Amaterazu! But why is he fighting on earth?”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4TSybmnwW
Supreme Kai: “ Amaterazu? Who is that?”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVXnZI4FYT
Elder Kai: “Are you familiar with the Tatsu race?”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KByjYovJj
Supreme Kai: “Yes, but I don't see the correlation here.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyDL3ZgqVo
Elder Kai: “Perhaps your youth hasn't granted you that wisdom yet, I suppose. Just like the saiyans, the Tatsu race have their own ritual to achieve divinity. Their race feeds off of the rays of the sun, they do not require food to survive, the sun fuels them and strengthens them, simple exposure to it will raise their strength gradually. However, if they were to remain directly within the sun for extended periods of time, their body develops divine ki like us deities.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFsYUceEVa
Supreme Kai: ‘So that turns them into the Amaterazu being?”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cByIIA8uC
Elder Kai: “Not exactly. Ki is not just physical but also mental and spiritual. The mind, body and soul must work together for one's ki to work with them. Once their body has achieved divine ki, they will develop visions which lead them to something, somewhere, or even someone, that provides them closure and inner harmony which their mind and soul subconsciously desired. In order for one's body to fully access divine ki, their mind and soul as well as their body must welcome it. That is why our saiyan friend Goku was able to pull it off, he threw away his pride and embraced the hope his friends had placed on him to defeat lord Beerus. For the tatsu race, this process is made easier as for them it is a religion passed down for generations. They find fulfillment in resurrecting their God and that alone has driven many generations into having their own Amaterazu. However, it's been centuries since the last time a Tatsu awakened Amterazu.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WcDcuarAJ
Supreme Kai: “If this truly is the Tatsu's version of the saiyan god, then shouldn't our friends from earth have no trouble with him?”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYiVjTLs4s
Elder Kai: “Unfortunately that's not the case this time around. The saiyan God's purpose was to give pure hearted saiyans a temporary fighting chance against the forces of evil. Saiyans are not naturally powerful on their own, the ritual was their method of cheating their way into a higher realm of power. A method us kais blessed upon them. We provided a similar blessing to the tatsu race, Amaterazu was meant to bring forth a permanent savior for the race exclusively. A being capable of making all the needs of its kind possible. A long term deity naturally had to be more powerful. Amaterazu is not capable of harm towards others he doesn't deem a threat, which is why I'm curious as to why earth has found itself on the receiving end of his wrath.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOkMsv6ili
Supreme Kai: “I hope our friends can pull through!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5nvF4yrYo
Elder Kai: “At their current state, I don't see much of a chance. Amaterazu can virtually overcome just about anything as long as he remains powered up by the hope of his race. Whatever it is that may have caused this dispute between him and the earthlings, I hope they settle it soon. If Amaterazu keeps releasing his power like this, he'll burn through everything, the flames could even spread into other universes. This fight can't afford to be dragged out!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO40ZUvbDT
Vegeta: “What…What is that? That thing?”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNfvoWpzxx
Their surroundings had been turned into ashes, there was nothing left to catch fire as most of it had been disintegrated.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0u6LSbRoT
Amaterazu: “I serve only one purpose, and that is to bring harmony to my believers! In order for one to reach peace, he must make amends with his conflicts. The chance to fight back is your only blessing, to burn is your fate!”

Krillin gazed upon the land in which they stood. He grit his teeth and clenched his fists.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXd4nFOtYn
Krillin: “This bastard.. He's burned the entire planet! Only the dragon balls can restore it now. But if we don't kill him, even that won't be an option. Marron, 18…. You better hope they havent been caught in the middle of this!! Haaaaa!
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bwm426VgI
Krillin viciously charged at the burning deity. His efforts were halted by Piccolo who restrained the angered warrior.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KRRriiV2w
Krillin: “Let go!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQJJnOVQBm
Piccolo: “Krillin! Calm yourself, fool! We have no hope of beating whatever that thing is. We don't need you to be another one of its victims. Stand down, all we can do now is hope Goku can send him back where he came from.”

Amaterazu: “You're rather quiet this time around. Your mind however is not entirely empty.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh5jsQGo8y
Goku: “You've checked my thoughts.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPyq2ngDRm
Amaterazu: “It's one of my many abilities. You know very well you can't maintain that state for long. Your character fascinates me, a murderer such as yourself could remain this calm in battle. Learning about you is not of my concern though. I'd much rather dispose of you.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWey2Yy9vDf
Amaterazu shot towards Goku, erasing the distance between them at a blinding speed. He commenced his attack with a swift punch which Goku managed to block with his forearm. It wouldn't take long for Goku to notice Amaterazu's flames burning through his own surging heat, leaving his mark on Goku's arm once again. His body didn't wait for his thoughts to catch up and struck Amaterazu with an uppercut to his ribs. Goku dropped to the ground and raised himself with his arm to follow up with a kick straight to Amaterazu's chin. The blow tossed the divine dragon into the air. Goku continued his assault, striking Amaterazu with multiple shockwaves at once, all coming from his fists. Amaterazu was launched further into the air. Goku made no waste of time and rapidly approached the airborne Amaterazu. He prepared another kick but was caught by surprise as he found himself entangled in chains of fire.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrSSHRfBPu
Amaterazu: “This little encounter has vastly improved my abilities. Despite my duty to destroy you for our safety, I cannot deny, it is you who I must thank for this growth I have just now developed.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaybeuRgt7Y
Amaterazu tightened the grasp of his chains on Goku. He fell victim to their heat as he had once before. The sun god viciously swung the chain, smashing Goku into the ground. He raised the chain, tossing Goku into the air, leaving him bound by the chain. Amaterazu flung himself towards the restrained Goku, his body was suddenly engulfed with fire as he prepared a kick right before impact. Amaterazu crashed into the saiyan with his powerful kick, smashing the chains to bits and slamming Goku into what was left of the ground. The determined warrior struggled to ascend back into the fight.

524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTc5tVuBIM
Piccolo pulled out a small pouch from his belt.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFgBlPa0Pd
Piccolo: “Korrin could only spare 2 this time around. The harvest wasn't the best this year.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx1WakDeNz
He passed the pouch to his saiyan comrade. The proud prince swallowed a bean, regaining his depleted stamina.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB8da9XkO0
Vegeta: “I think it should be obvious, but your guy's intervention won't be of any use by this point. All you can do now is make sure those flames don't reach anything that hasn't yet been burned. I'll go help Kakarot however best I can.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARloE1wZ2F
Piccolo: “Right. Vegeta.”

The determined prince fled to the battle field to support his fellow saiyan. Amaterazu forged a bow and arrow made completely out of his powerful flames.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfx8pg9wyx
Amaterazu: “Cupid's burning kiss!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgBM0bnNCS
He shot out multiple arrows which burst into messy piles of fire needles. Goku evaded them, suffering a few injuries in the process. He acknowledged his pain for a moment, feeling his divine essence fading for that split second.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DlH57Rx8q
Goku: “My body is being pushed too far, it's getting harder to keep this state stable!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mmVc1YoaV
Amaterazu commenced a second wave of arrows, shooting just as much as the last. Goku prepared to avoid them once again. Vegeta shot the arrows with a blast large enough to get them all in one go. They pierced through his ki attack, remaining undisturbed and continued their direction.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOKX2e9jhF
Vegeta: “No way! My attack was completely vaporized!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktQUmbIcon
Goku was left with no choice other than to avoid the needles as best as he could and endure the pain of his further inevitable injuries.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoT9VrWA5E
Goku: “He's got me cornered. I still have one more option… Kaaaaaa…meeeee….”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVpfFeYlQv
Goku charged his special move as he awaited Amaterazu's third assault.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ86ZEeoDzl
Amaterazu: “It should be apparent that resistance by now would be futile, but dying with a fight is more honorable than simply accepting one's demise I suppose.”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BslWtS937
Amaterazu launched his third wave of arrows, expecting a similar outcome. Goku took his chance, finding and taking advantage the smallest gaps in between the arrows to throw them off course with his kicks and using them to reach his opponent. Even with such intense analysis and caution, he could not avoid receiving damage, but he did manage to close more distance between him and the mighty deity above him. Vegeta instantly caught on to Goku's strategy and aided his ally. He tossed a small sphere of ki at Amaterazu's face.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsTgpHUu9L
Goku: “Haaaaa…meeee…”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SNg8PHMqS
The ki exploded, the trick caused no damage to Amaterazu, but the smoke had blinded him for a mere moment, a moment which gave the determined warrior the chance he needed. Goku reached Amaterazu, blasting him with one of the greatest Kamehamehas the world had ever seen. The force was so great that it sent the mighty dragon deity flying out of orbit, smashing into and completely destroying nearby planets and moons. Goku took a moment to catch his breath. Vegeta landed next to him. He looked at his fellow saiyan with a stare that sent chills down the prince’s spine.

524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg73yasliVJ
Vegeta: “Hmph. Well that leaves us with only one option then. We fight, till the very end. Saiyans aren't known for being quitters, we'll stop fighting once the last ounce of blood has left our bodies!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5V3Jsp0ce
Goku: “Here he comes!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn7OxDmZMX
Amaterazu crashed back into the earth. He had visible injuries which burned away, recovering almost instantaneously. With no warning, Amaterazu blitzed the duo, striking both of them down. The saiyan duo struggled to face the fire deity. Amaterazu revealed his claws with malicious intent.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FekzT5jCn
Amaterazu: “Once again, this body has reached new heights. You are mere single individuals, competing with the power of many!”
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvscMbXctSh
Amaterazu was met with a sudden blow from behind that interrupted his speech and separated him from the saiyans.
524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON7OVMRiKe
