Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwlROFCGHQo
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1bBMgRzJhX
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAVeStJedcqp
Goku smirked.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAF6zVPwb31I
Goku: “Bring it!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuFPhTQI16s
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKAH84s8Xzn
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAivP2zy7wkb
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQWkpGqAGQt
Amaterazu: “What!?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeXSejg3s04
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsGpgwAMbv6
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYMwJa1jIbz
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxbNx6M4YDf
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyfZGEN7Lrx
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKm5AkyJJCX
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMlbYWD5nDT
Goku: “I'm better!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOjeaMySato
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmH49Ba6kh6
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANARCOOsnmcN1
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANATsDMjOwX62
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGNA2pU1KgY
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmnQuqw76Jh
Krillin landed next to the prince.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsqPpbQXZvI
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y0sWtGUJy
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAAX7H5bSPi8
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
135Please respect copyright.PENANATnI50Ip8VL
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!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPw5nyQmbzh
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAIaQHRBdjpl
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZwk86jeNu6
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOMoFeFtrck
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1SpmjX7NqI
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAd2pcpRT4te
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlmhOgHaIxK
Amaterazu: “This again?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA0KRRN5CC4E
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsUOeGkcXR3
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiBFxqyVSR0
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAEkpFq1dJSC
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvFpl5rDn9U
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAEBHsNEHwHR
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAD6R9897OoL
135Please respect copyright.PENANACXPOf57ih3
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANABdXrwy1VvB
Goku: “Take this!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMluKMKd582
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlaSmmmCffw
“Goku!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbIdXhQiwJ0
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA6IA9b9B4FX
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!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZRPALhIKnB
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwibYSd2Zre
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!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANACXKFGmgP23
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ903efbvu
Goku's tone was harsh.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAS2mC9ZZom2
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAsmoFnREFgE
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ8HSEKzhD
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOv5cP9sDyt
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJBKN8fXkma
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPeX1R1r7qy
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAphCwqFct40
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAAMW8M3eLav
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAL2Tp7XueW1
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhKUM1I2zPb
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjnIss87ovr
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1tfCB5PWk3
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlGdrYz3B4o
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANADyxxrUYg1I
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1ldhAKomEp
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7x3frajiP
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPE8GDWfYum
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANALo9bzEpUgR
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
135Please respect copyright.PENANASRtZ4JaqSG
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANABAvgyDlD0M
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
135Please respect copyright.PENANARpzyWb5D0Z
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANATduUiq46M8
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZsxNwUfhHO
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhHPOgElUDU
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiwhYqa23qx
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAda1A1PphEf
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAoIoBlKyvld
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiUx0112OYo
Goku: “A finisher?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANApNBNe0qbXb
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA350b4O4TEB
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAqUv7QfwZIE
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAv24FiA25YJ
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGScI3qBkYb
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAijHm9cbfcp
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfF6W3pQHLA
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
135Please respect copyright.PENANANqmHzBflqW
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANATdmToCefwI
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA1pejPkqoG4
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzHFg0qlud1
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdci1OvPpph
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAH3KVMg3aAa
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qde4QLaM4
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAML7MFOKGN3
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAtVafEQm6N7
Krillin: “Me too!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyXlSNNl4wn
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4uZ5GMIu4e
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyKnQhYCTnX
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOe4Eh5pHd5
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhLeWcb6FRm
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkH3VQe0HYF
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5C6ekpjEcG

135Please respect copyright.PENANAYtIFmnXHag
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAb3XjyWs5hl
Goku: “He's done.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjmQJKG8WOv
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAIxkkUc0ocC
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.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHBwz6iTwRb
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFy7crdFL3c

135Please respect copyright.PENANAZjWIVttex9

Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

135Please respect copyright.PENANAJjeJFtgC6i

135Please respect copyright.PENANAgB2XFuPcqR
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnKO5Wawouy
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.”
135Please respect copyright.PENANAy7Pr2699cT
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhZRhU3919z

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”

135Please respect copyright.PENANA6bp3Y0cNA2

135Please respect copyright.PENANA5O1CSEfc5N
