Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvFcDzKxkHJ
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAGVPtY7iBgF
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAVCEPdUHxwl
Goku smirked.
420Please respect copyright.PENANApjxW854wA9
Goku: “Bring it!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAK13B75VfWE
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
420Please respect copyright.PENANApf1Yof9Dn5
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANArh7bhFbA03
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAohzS7VVj9s
Amaterazu: “What!?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAPX1rSZ76yQ
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAHG0FAa6Hbq
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvkUip3BMc9
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAXSVhWBGjKt
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAMUXdQ40PrS
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1sfvfBGnZN
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAAVgYV1kArb
Goku: “I'm better!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAsNzoJK0IaG
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1MnXIOjr3
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAdjgTXVmofc
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAgkWCmi4jJx
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAqxHqOdEOIH
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAJhZV3lqr2f
Krillin landed next to the prince.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAHY4UQ9xo2i
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAmfwOmaKCSm
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAGkombKeKMa
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
420Please respect copyright.PENANArw3i42lHD1
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!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvPADHFT27H
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAxLA09i7xmF
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAtinrIuTvHy
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAs4WvkKR5Yb
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAR1B8OzXOt3
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAUlu2TOxoTl
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA2bdgwiKbbl
Amaterazu: “This again?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANARnlG0VbuID
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAiE6ODpuNY0
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAomWpFIxlUw
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAQesaBcDctT
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvYYxPunqSv
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA20ZZ14CObK
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAV3Q9nTJatE
420Please respect copyright.PENANAk6Ky5MP5CQ
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAz0SjSF1QBE
Goku: “Take this!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAGat8onGNMY
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAeddQQOWae3
“Goku!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA3wjZwWVfVx
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAp1Szi5PRoN
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!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAmYjlJRPZi1
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAf0FJrbBD0d
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!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAdvJKKW7uT7
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA7hBn4hndw9
Goku's tone was harsh.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAlNFsI6r5Ez
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA6v98Z5vpuz
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAysJHpGu35s
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ8aoYEXvt
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAALndWtYDLG
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAoZL6qDqhji
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAj3lFPWRMkw
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANABsbHG70eZQ
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA9dw10cRk1f
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAkEMy4PHdNc
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAMW8vLdzvqa
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAFMaiNPJlP9
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAkh0Azou7Xw
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAS4yPDWSjDV
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAICPkIzxab4
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANASm04PEBURP
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAbbt8BwfPgJ
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAT18HEBXr8v
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA24rq36KqrT
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAU18TZQ8KYZ
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAOINTngwRcd
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANANoA8JiQZHF
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAC4DLDcxodL
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA6q6nfyWjmD
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1JLNT3ynwj
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA5j9C0ngLl2
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAj20lnekDSo
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAHwvCiv9Dfo
Goku: “A finisher?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAmxJWoCsFJp
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAhIrz4JxeT8
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAi3PrPcduGv
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAqFBnZP2ukQ
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAt5bLqWG2vp
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA0DnolhPfrz
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAfxo5FXwfDy
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAja5CILXmJU
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAYLeqNqgKtb
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZLjTR2ppt
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAodQ4i6kvFR
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1xESb8PKhw
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA12lfJzOo6d
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA393CmQ2Ah2
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvda9761Go9
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAAXEHpAtmi0
Krillin: “Me too!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAISbDInnxsI
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAYE9osX2KGr
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANACy1oqZTwLZ
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAMd5dXoyGlS
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAtLbioOrOFU
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvdRGRZfL8V
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAcN5PBnMNSz

420Please respect copyright.PENANAmGbXe8lEXG
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAs3O9O8lWlv
Goku: “He's done.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvmLMA8SvuH
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAhQfqMc9oW2
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA32ajTRW1tg
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAuUGdDNcRQh

420Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vi40JSSmR

420Please respect copyright.PENANAMtAq3YVq4n

420Please respect copyright.PENANAGZYAUnidIV
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAEK5HmvUS3Z
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAmfHeA0Exct
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.

420Please respect copyright.PENANARLIaaBZoWx

420Please respect copyright.PENANAivtTqfyUQg
