The mighty trio elevated to meet the height of their opponents.

Kasai: “I do not wish to bring harm upon those not involved, however, in the name of war, any ally of this criminal is an enemy to us! My comrades, our divine blessing from Amaterazu shall be our key to victory. Embrace this power, it will protect you from all harm, this is the gift of our savior!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANADoRHBtoKYY
Nozomu: “I didn't think we'd need this so soon.c
203Please respect copyright.PENANAs9JUkG6AxJ
Goku: “What kind of form is that? What other tricks could they have up their sleeve?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAZF3BMAwXTZ
Kasai: I've noticed the confusion in your faces, I'll spare all of you the suspense. You're all contributors to the rise of our sun god, Amaterazu. His visions have guided my allies and I to this very moment for over a year now. What you see now is the result of our training inside the very sun itself. An undying flame, that is the gift of Amaterazu that shall lead us to his resurrection. The same gift I'll use to exact my revenge!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5ghwSTTjXj
Tien: “I can't sense their ki, just how powerful as these guys?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAfKUF6OakjL
Piccolo: “It's just a guess but it seems like they may possess divine ki. We have to be careful, they're more than capable of killing us if we make even the slightest mistake.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAixmNypTzVI
Kasai: “My comrades, I feel that it is already quite apparent but, we will have to split up and take a load each. Pouwar, you'll take on the one with the armor, it may not be apparent yet, but the visions are telling me he's one to watch out for, perhaps just as much as the one we faced earlier. Nozomu, you take the rest of the group, I'll handle our main target. As long as you keep the other one busy, Pouwar, Nozomu should be able to take out the weaker ones, leaving them with no support.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAHaZn9DNlFp
Pouwar: “Understood, let's get to tearing them apart already!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdXBFQHFr2d
Kasai: “On my mark, my friends.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAe9fomNXZBJ
The trio took a stance, preparing to charge into battle.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA1DUVzkvBPS
Vegeta: “Here they come!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkeNf2Rst0C
The trio took the lead, dashing to their predetermined enemies and commencing their assault. Pouwar rushed Vegeta, who instantly took on his super saiyan blue evolved form. Pouwar overwhelmed Vegeta with a mighty barrage of blows. Vegeta defended against them all, barely managing to keep up. Each strike left a scar from the heat.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8TeZNJvl49
"It's dealing serious damage to me without even landing a clean blow!"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAhondrCjNQj
Vegeta thought as he continued his struggle. Nozomu made his move on the other warriors, commencing everything with a strike towards piccolo. Piccolo managed to block the blow just in the nick of time. The force of the punch alone sent him flying back a few feet. His hand suddenly caught fire, bursting into flames like ones he had never seen before. They quickly burned through his arm, even ashes were not left behind. Piccolo immediately tore off what was left of his arm before it reached his body further. He panted as his face viciously dripped with sweat.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAikE1KFrMAz
Piccolo: “That fire isn't normal, it burns you down to an atomic level, we can't risk getting touched by that!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAHpFVw23xZ0
The proud Namekian grew back his arm and took his distance from the royal elite.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAeGxPUockeY
Krillin: “So fighting this guy hand to hand isn't an option then huh. None of us have the power to even seriously injure this guy!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA80urDllGqf
Yamcha: “Well, we can't defeat him, but maybe, we can hold him off just enough to give Goku and Vegeta time to deal with their guys.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFikrMTUAqM
Krillin: “Is that really all we've been reduced to?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5mtCufL751
Piccolo: “He's right Krillin, I don't know who or what these guys are, but they're no joke. Simply keeping one away from them is already more than they could ask for. If we want this to work, we have to keep our distance and strike from afar!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkgVlgUfYmC
Nozomu gave no time for preparation as he engaged with his second attack.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAsBiEJf6Fyh
Nozomu: “Divine dragon bullet!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwHzphc7qtD
Nozomu shot a ray of fire, shaped like a bolt of lightning from his finger tips.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAjKWQmKKzSc
Tien: “Dodon ray!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAhOmCPOjEw2
Tien's precise beam intercepted the attack, saving Piccolo from certain doom.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAeqMQ7iWBuc
Tien: “It's clear this guy's done playing around, our attack has to begin now!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAIUJRT7M8FH
"Right!"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAnZXcXTZxmx
The group said in union. They all took separate positions, each isolated as far as possible from Nozomu.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAhAjbb1SrV8
Nozomu: “So they plan to split? They don't have the speed to keep up with me, even if they attack at different angles, I could strike them all down at once no sweat-”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAjEIlJgKMqu
Nozomu suddenly found himself locked in a hold. Tien had a firm grasp of all of Nozomu's essential joints. Two other of his clones zapped Nozomu with the dodon ray. They focused their beam on him, applying more pressure by the second. Nozomu released flames from his body which immediately disintegrated everything nearby, including the clones who were shooting their attack at him. He would have no time to counter strike as the rest of the warriors had followed up with their own attacks. Nozomu evaded a barrage of destructo disc attacks which was followed by a ki sphere that continuously chased Nozomu regardless of what turn he took.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAS7TV04Dxvt
Nozomu: “What is this attack? No matter where I move, it keeps following!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwmcec0EGrL
Yamcha: “Haha! Looks like someone can't handle my spirit ball!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAq39PiXcpWH
Krillin: “You know, you could be a little more creative with those names.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAf59Wm4k6xX
Yamcha: “Oh yeah? Mister ‘destructo disc?’”
203Please respect copyright.PENANArIx627mjoK
Krillin: “Fine, I got the message.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ggoAeAr9
Nozomu quit his escape and confronted the attack, melting it away with ease. He prepared to return his own attack but was shocked to find himself battling a powerful illusion of countless after image clones of all the fighters.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAQTjFk64nGh
"Damn it! Which are the real ones? These guys are just playing games with me!"
203Please respect copyright.PENANARgbpz4G0kA
He thought as he attempted to decipher real from illusion.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAiX6lTUEInk
Nozomu: “They're wasting my time. I get it now, they're buying time for the other two, these bunch are no threats at all, I shall take them out all at once!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA7JA1eEC4v1
Nozomu spun his arms in a circle, gradually picking up the speed until they resembled miniature tornadoes.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAA14NpVnSMW
Nozomu: “Divine fire hurricane!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAebFBlj8Gqf
A massive tornado of fire was birthed from Nozomu's spinning arms. The after images were all destroyed in an instant, leaving no trace of an illusion.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAgAuIrlNqoe
Yamcha: “Damn it! I think he's done entertaining our little gimmick!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANABH2Lstjpau
Nozomu cleared the scenery, leaving his foes completely wide open.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAPiGLKphI2g
Nozomu: “I've got you all now!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA63bXso5Eak
He darted towards them, approaching at rapid speeds.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0vhizJIDI8
Krillin: “Tien! Now! Use the moonlight!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAAZggR2iWWL
Krillin and Tien immediately lined up together, side by side.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbtjNrkbXqG
"Solar Flare!"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAX5jQsgc8N0
They shouted together as they created an intense bright light with the help of the moon; the light staggered Nozomu.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGqI4xqafEF
Piccolo: “This is it! This is the opening we needed! I'm charged up and ready, all of you fire with me!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqfcPLuNDpL
Piccolo appeared once more in the battle field, revealing to have been preparing a powerful charged attack.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA1Hyw1Bmyuh
Piccolo: “Special beam cannon!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAd9JtZmaXf3
"Kamehameha!"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAnPvfVdJXhF
Yamcha and Krillin shouted together.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAQyMO7WlG1R
Tien: “Tri-Beam haaaaa!!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWvgCMrIcL8
Their attacks landed together in succession, knocking Nozomu straight to the ground.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkyuayWenGq
Yamcha: “We did it!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAOEX2xI1xzq
Piccolo: “Don't get too excited yet, we didn't even dent him. We've simply delayed him from making a move on us, if we continue like this, Goku and Vegeta should be able to finish him for us eventually. At least I'd hope so..”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAIVYZjTFhtJ
Pouwar rose up from a pile of rubble which disintegrated almost immediately. She chuckled as she looked up at Vegeta.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMQDYudo8DS
Vegeta: “He's still standing after all that. I figured it wouldn't be so easy.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJsH5ZhaLrH
The flames around Pouwar's forearms morphed and merged onto her hands. Her left hand became engulfed in flames shaped like a mallet, the right hand formed into a shield of fire. She charged towards Vegeta once more, swinging her mighty mallet in his direction. Vegeta dodged the attack but was caught by a sudden explosion from the mallet.
203Please respect copyright.PENANACmuKEjD1pj
Vegeta: “What the hell!?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4qofpE2uR5
Pouwar: “Hehe, surprised ya huh? In this state, our bodies can release hydrogen into the air with each attack. All it takes is a little push from the force I create with every attack. In return I can create a compressed explosion that's just as powerful as my regular blows. Simply put it, you can't escape me, puny man!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ4eNDsfGx
Vegeta: “It's really starting to annoy me how much I've been shown up by others recently.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAerbVTa334b
Pouwar: “Perhaps it's time to accept your inferiority, small fry. For our race, the males are more suited for fighting, but occasionally, a female with twice the battle capacity of a male is born. Being born as one of those exceptions, I was chosen to fight alongside our future king and protect him with my life. I was born special! It is an insult a lowlife like you has pushed me this far!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8S2cRMGjza
Vegeta: “Wait… You're a woman?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWlakY8BQgx
Pouwar: “Shut up!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbJYeWtVjMG
Pouwar continued her attack, swinging her mallet multiple times, hitting Vegeta with each explosion. She lifted her mallet, preparing to swing it once more, but her attempt was interrupted by Vegeta who shot a ki blast straight into the mallet. The collision created an explosion that damaged Pouwar.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4VpSZG3IrR
Vegeta: “If all it takes is a little push to set off the explosion, then I can use it against you too. Listen, I don't care who or what you are, but you are fighting no small fry! Before you stands the prince of the saiyans! Speaking down on me is speaking down on my kind, that I shall not allow!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAtsjjdYPQRa
Vegeta blitzed his way to Pouwar, kicking her gut with tons of force. The blow burned him as well but he continued his assault. He put his hands together and smashed them into her skull, Vegeta wasted no time in following up with yet another attack.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAVFitZU0UmL
Vegeta: “Big bang attack!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkCjH5XFiRS
He dropped the mighty ki sphere on Pouwar who reacted just in time to protect herself with her shield. The attack was disintegrated instantly.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZCMqBWfNx
Pouwar: “Divine scorch chains!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5iGWYKDLtB
Flames shaped like chains emerged from Pouwar's mallet, binding Vegeta's arms, stretching them apart. The chains burned through Vegeta's gloves. Each second felt as though they ate away at his very skin. Vegeta yelled in agony, tensing up his body in an attempt to fight through the pain. The chains grew longer, taking a hold of both of his entire arms. Pouwar yanked Vegeta to her, striking him with her mallet. The explosion sent him away once again. Pouwar repeated the process, smacking Vegeta around like a paddle ball. Vegeta fought through the pain and rammed into Pouwar's face with a devastating headbutt. He took advantage of an opening and landed another attack.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA80pbnorjFK
Vegeta: “Galick gun, fire!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA26buPDec35
The blast sent Pouwar crashing down to a nearby hill. Pouwar regained her composure, standing in shock.
203Please respect copyright.PENANADQipKcaECr
Pouwar: “How hasn't he disintegrated? These flames burn to an atomic level! Could a being that strong really exist?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANArvGJYGiKhs
She placed her hand on her rib, noticing a bruise.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAksVzKaQ7wA
Pouwar: “His attack didn't disintegrate completely either, perhaps it was too big and powerful to burn out before it reached me. This guy, if I keep messing up, he's going to kill me!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAClR73L6MC8
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKYmzjoDfdl
Goku traded blows with Kasai, they went back and forth, blocking, receiving, evading and delivering attacks.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAodXhqTXUPY
Goku: “Your skills are amazing, there's impeccable precision in your attacks. You weren't kidding when you claimed to be prepared for war.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMdBlGcZzq5
Kasai: “Your blows are tense yet filled with peace, how dare you fight with a calm mind after what you did to my father!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0qVhQSAx4T
Goku: “I haven't done anything, you've got the wrong guy!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAI9VAyjHGED
Kasai engaged, rushing Goku down with a flurry of attacks. Kasai took a step back, halting his assault and raised his hand in the air.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAHSwcShBxMA
Kasai: “Divine dragon slam!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANARfcOevLSbG
A long wave of fire, reaching 20 feet in length, extended from Kasai's arm. He swung his arm down, slamming the mighty wave onto Goku which sent the warrior crashing into the ground.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwFkOy9klAI
Kasai: “Royal dragon's breath!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdggbPsnaK9
Three fireballs shot out of Kasai's mouth, they fell at the same rate before merging together into a larger fireball. The fireball landed on Goku, bursting apart upon colliding. Goku struggled to stand.
203Please respect copyright.PENANABJ2bEEjeF3
"Whis, I'm really trying, but I just can't pull through with it. How do I find peace with my lifestyle? I'm…. I'm not sure what kind of life I want to live."
203Please respect copyright.PENANAz0T57EBOAs
Goku desperately searched for an answer to his troubles. He reverted back to his base state, taking a moment to breathe and reflect.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAHgfc6Z4Vki
"I don't have time to figure out my problems right now. In the tournament of power, I achieved ultra instinct by accident. My body acted out of instinct, I need to push myself to that brink again. It's a gamble, but it's my only hope right now!"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbx2FjzIgMu
Goku abandoned his thoughts and set his focus back onto his powerful foe. He remained in his base state.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAQDkqhOB5NJ
Goku: “Come at me! Kasai? Right? Hit me with your best!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANApeyFcRNcVE
Kasai: “You beg for death that much? Now that is a wish I shall grant!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAC2bmEIQ9EP
Kasai darted at Goku, starting his assault with a kick to his jaw. The kick knocked him away. Kasai went on with his attack, hovering right above Goku as he struggled to gain his balance, Kasai delivered an elbow shot to his rib. Goku shot straight to the ground once more, but his fall was interrupted by an intense burning sensation around his left wrist and right ankle. He soon realized he was caught by Kasai's ropes of fire. Their flames felt as though they burned 100 times greater than before. Goku yelled and squirmed in pain. Kasai yanked the injured saiyan towards himself. He lit his own leg on fire and struck his opponent with a devastating kick to the gut. He proceeded to swing Goku around before launching him straight into a hill. Goku collided with the hill, smashing it into pieces as he crashed.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA7RNiqX1wVR
"Just a little more! I have to trick my body into fending for itself!"
203Please respect copyright.PENANAOXnlAyktHO
Goku thought as he tried his best to bear the pain of his injuries. Vegeta was shocked to see his friend suddenly taking a great beating. His distraction would cost him as Pouwar delivered a solid blow to his chest with her mallet.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAY6xnFmlpqF
Pouwar: “Keep ya eyes on the prize, Mr. Prince!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0YOJgZ2l28
Pouwar teased Vegeta, she hit her mallet against her shield, taunting him to come back for more. Vegeta didn't bother with her disrespectful actions and rushed to aid his longtime rival in battle.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAifZTDmOI1O
Pouwar: “Hey! This is between us! Coward!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAavMyWfhHNo
Vegeta caught Kasai with a clean hook to his chin, the blow knocked Kasai away, giving Vegeta enough time to attend to his fellow saiyan.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4BsPlOV4b9
Vegeta: “Kakarot! What are you doing? Why are you making this harder for yourself?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAzdiY2aJQzs
Goku: “I-It's the only way….Vegeta. I've fought them already, this is nothing like what I faced earlier, even if I give it everything, all it's going to take is for one of theirs or one of our's to fall first for the tide to shift. If you, I or the others go down, it's over, we can't fight multiple of them at once. Not like this at least.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAh0jHXSY1v5
Vegeta: “What do you mean?”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdy9F9POOEo
Goku: “If I can trick my body into doing what I did in the tournament of power, I can perhaps tap into ultra instinct again.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAtXMqE6oA5b
Vegeta: “You know well that you're far from being able to control that. You're risking your life.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdhzSAfxxi5
Goku: “It's the same risk I'm taking if we keep things the way they are… Look out!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANASNvIWW6yHi
Pouwar interrupted the pair's little talk as she barged in, smacking Vegeta away with her mallet.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA9M8Y76knSo
Pouwar: “You wanted to split up and now you wanna fight in pairs? Make up your mind!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJPZkXPgL71
Vegeta didn't take long to gain his balance and proceeded with a counter attack against Pouwar. He shot a blast at Pouwar's mallet to nullify it and caught her with a nasty kick to her chin. His neck was suddenly entangled by a flaming rope. He gasped as the rope tightened his grasp and burned him simultaneously. Kasai had Vegeta in his grasp.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAHobHnqhcl1
Kasai: “If you desire to make this easier for us, so be it.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFXYrksQhOa
Pouwar joined the battle field once again. She pounded Vegeta as the unfortunate prince was being gagged. Goku rushed to help, jumping back into his super saiyan blue form, but Pouwar was prepared for his interference and caught him with a brutal blow to his head with her mallet. The attack instantly knocked Goku out.
203Please respect copyright.PENANA355RLJ2UED
Pouwar: “Hey, Kasai! Why don't ya tie up the other one too? Keep him still for me c'mon!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAsKaLUtq2ET
Kasai: “I trust you'll finish them off, Pouwar.”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAq3FNuNNqND
Kasai got a grip of Goku's throat as well. Pouwar elevated higher into the air, above the two helpless warriors who found themselves caught in Kasai's grasp. She raised her mallet which shifted into the shape of a burning orb.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAlsijBmLKuO
Pouwar: “Divine Solar eclipse!”
203Please respect copyright.PENANA74Ep1y5kZn
Pouwar launched the sphere towards Goku and Vegeta, the medium sized sphere enlarged into a massive size right before it made contact with the duo. Without warning, the attack was stopped in its tracks and destroyed on the spot.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAmXlFiDXiTM
Pouwar: “What the-”
203Please respect copyright.PENANAhDyHqic0xt
Pouwar was suddenly knocked away with what seemed to be multiple blows delivered at once. Kasai came face to face with the culprit of the interruption.
203Please respect copyright.PENANAw7J7zc91VV
Goku: “I don't know how long I can keep this up for.. I have to finish this, now!”
