Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA5QmnwT0Wy6
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAr3S5diyuy3
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAAkPIinUvvV
Goku smirked.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA0YDvBC7FMu
Goku: “Bring it!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAYyOybMqS9S
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA3uvHzONRjb
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdaJZrSj9P5
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
246Please respect copyright.PENANArvk55pWu0X
Amaterazu: “What!?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANABXPmyp0Njr
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAwA6oEiUGnI
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjz74T5Ka4k
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAtq6z2RH7BO
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEYRSqCNUXM
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAsHQf1OV69L
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAg43YqYZE1e
Goku: “I'm better!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA4leEQccDAC
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA3hTZH1Y70x
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANApxeCGWsiKC
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA32ETt2WPfm
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAqeRvR4CMW9
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAIxC20zWtXW
Krillin landed next to the prince.
246Please respect copyright.PENANADifeXYltnM
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANARi3qDg7lKK
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAUPrwNmlbdb
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAlkmdM1DsTM
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!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAzwe7nIiKBV
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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAVpzisgipJl
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAB3KgOCm2I9
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANArp3959b58b
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyUfRqPJANS
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAXLV1fWgkUK
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxIBs6hISH6
Amaterazu: “This again?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANATidB4A0yVj
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Ars42obQ
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAprQqHUn2Wo
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAN4gLZDCMJA
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAoH3ENHXKQc
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAOlioRwNwmr
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Dspk37nC
246Please respect copyright.PENANAcdutRfVk0a
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuCQZsX7dwT
Goku: “Take this!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANALeEhyfB9bO
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZeACuyCeU9
“Goku!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAqRt4LpuXhD
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAeeSslXR2OC
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!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAm9qBIbzgye
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANApakZTtN0g9
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!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANACKRXLm9nUw
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAIN4B5oWJK4
Goku's tone was harsh.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ3xPd7tz0
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAz5XMnGmeTM
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA1jZVy5tI42
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjiyuhpbzQO
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
246Please respect copyright.PENANATkVAHFNTjC
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAet7U7gNIX5
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAysBLl7bWst
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAush4CY0Vn1
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
246Please respect copyright.PENANARKYh0ejna4
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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANALQ88Kh8xnk
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdSgkTjwbx8
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAu8gPC3fHBh
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA0laeQMcCAN
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA3YMWdYoAmE
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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA5wNuqqbewp
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZbUSC4ztJE
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANARVtrQq1QNb
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA1nayBeP7Y4
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA8vmZhWF0l1
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAin77iBglui
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAufhdxN2rw6
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA4AJ04pVz98
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA0GZclrFZWL
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAsf8Rag67oS
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAG3i7xOIuzz
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjMGfv3Fczt
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPauiqx4VBf
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6XbSSGyrzl
Goku: “A finisher?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAsyLRDoSpMA
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAp80GS7knSe
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAchp5yyD6Qh
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjyK9PBluq7
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAV5mPsinPCg
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuLd2Egp1wx
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAWcbtLHWBKy
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA31xPP1Jkxx
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA5JV8cw30j2
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAThjbicmRJi
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAbSZBnEbDPF
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAelmrtitRZ0
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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA5QDNOn6cVu
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANADQaK2qAJwg
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAXNRFu9yAAL
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANADOUUSdmZGF
Krillin: “Me too!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAbBAIt4ajdN
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAHCVRFXUBUK
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAf7tJCwResx
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANALbrjzcu5Wf
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA4DYc9e7ahX
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA5KF4RQVv2B
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdktAlHh2uk

246Please respect copyright.PENANAWG927rGfEa
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAhGuHWW3GK4
Goku: “He's done.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA2a4DZZUlPU
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANATCjbV1VrhW
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANATKTRgbLSJz
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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAXCkD5ME0w2
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAU3GLuVumdK

246Please respect copyright.PENANASvbtZscKtw
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAVHVjeZFZT6
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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAKmIhi6mB1g
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.

246Please respect copyright.PENANAeaVGD4BK5c
