Yamoshi stumbled backward, momentarily reeling from Goku's relentless barrage of attacks. His breathing was labored, yet his eyes burned with a fierce determination. Clenching his fists, he regained his footing and steadied himself. In a flash, Goku was in front of him again, his movements almost impossible to follow. The sheer speed of his punches overwhelmed Yamoshi, striking his face and torso in rapid succession.
For a moment, Yamoshi felt himself faltering. His muscles ached under the pressure of Goku's strikes, but the pain only fueled his resolve. With a roar, he swung a powerful right hook aimed at Goku's side. Goku, anticipating the attack, sidestepped gracefully and delivered a counter-kick to Yamoshi's ribs, sending him hurtling through the air.
"Ha!!!" Yamoshi's voice echoed across the battlefield as he twisted in mid-air, slamming his feet into the ground to halt his momentum. Dust and debris scattered in all directions as he planted himself firmly, his aura exploding outward in defiance. The emerald green light surrounding him intensified, distorting the air and warping the ground beneath him.
Cracks spiderwebbed through the earth as tremors rippled outward. The sky above began to fracture, streaks of energy tearing through the fabric of reality itself. Trunks, observing from a safe distance, paled at the sight.
"Oh no! Yamoshi's power is too strong!" Trunks exclaimed, his voice trembling. "He's ripping apart the surrounding space!"
"What do we do, Trunks?" Krillin asked, his tone edged with panic.
"I… I don't know!" Trunks admitted, his fists clenching helplessly.
Before the situation could spiral further out of control, Goku sprang into action. His hands came together, his energy surging as he channeled his Ki into a focused attack. "Kamehameha!" he shouted, releasing a brilliant wave of blue energy that soared toward the cracks in space. The beam collided with the dimensional rift, sealing it with a deafening boom. The sky shimmered as the fractures mended, returning to normal.
Relief washed over the observers as the danger subsided, but their reprieve was short-lived. Yamoshi's energy continued to grow, his golden hair glowing brighter as his aura blazed like an inferno. The ground beneath him trembled, unable to withstand the sheer force of his power.
"Is this your full strength?" Goku asked, his tone cautious but steady.
"No," Yamoshi replied, his voice laced with confidence. "But it is more than enough to defeat you. Goku, I commend your determination, but this is where your fight ends."
"We'll see about that," Goku said with a grin, his own energy surging in response. In an instant, their bodies became streaks of silver and green light, colliding with a thunderous impact. The shockwaves from their clash rippled outward, stirring up massive clouds of dust and debris.
The battlefield became a blur of motion as the two fighters exchanged blows at a speed that defied comprehension. Each strike sent tremors through the ground, leaving craters in their wake. The air crackled with energy as their auras collided, blue and green sparks scattering like fireworks.
From her throne in the Palace of Universe Zero, the Great Goddess watched the battle unfold through her scepter. Her face was expressionless, though her grip on her staff tightened slightly. The battle was not going according to her plan. She had intended for Yamoshi to fight Goten directly, weakening him so that Tarble could deliver the finishing blow. But the Saiyans' natural love for combat had derailed her scheme.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon God Realm, Salama, the creator of the Super Dragon Balls, observed the clash through his own mean. His long black hair shimmered in the faint glow of his realm, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the unfolding battle. "Grand Priest," he murmured, "your disciple is formidable, but I wonder… can he truly overcome the power of Yamoshi?"
Back on Earth, the battle raged on. Goku's energy reserves were beginning to dwindle after the prolonged fight, and Yamoshi seized the opportunity. With a ferocious punch, he struck Goku's abdomen, sending him crashing into a nearby mountain. The impact was cataclysmic, shaking the ground and sending a plume of dust and debris high into the air.
"Father!" Goten's voice rang out, filled with concern.
"Goku!" Krillin and the others shouted, their worry evident as they shielded their eyes from the debris.
When the dust settled, Goku's limp body was revealed, pinned against the mountain in a "T" shape. His aura had disappeared, and his form had reverted to normal. Yamoshi turned his gaze to Goten, his expression unyielding.
"Your father gave me a good fight," Yamoshi said. "But now it's your turn."
Goten stepped forward without hesitation, his eyes blazing with determination. He flew to the battlefield, landing a few feet from Yamoshi. Meanwhile, Gohan rushed to Goku's side, feeding him a Senzu Bean. Almost immediately, Goku's injuries healed, and his strength returned.
"Aren't you going to transform into a Super Saiyan?" Yamoshi asked, studying Goten intently.
"Of course," Goten replied. Clenching his fists, he summoned his energy, a golden aura erupting around him. The ground trembled beneath him as his power surged.
"Ahhh!!!" With a mighty roar, Goten transformed. His hair grew long and golden, flowing like a mane. His pupils glowed with radiant gold, and his entire form radiated an overwhelming Ki. This was Super Saiyan Six.
"What is this form?" Yamoshi asked, his eyes narrowing.
"This is Super Saiyan Six," Goten replied with a smirk.
"Super Saiyan Six?" Yamoshi repeated, his intrigue evident. "Impressive. Let's see if it's as strong as my Super Saiyan 2!"
Without warning, Yamoshi launched himself forward, his fists moving faster than light. Goten dodged with precision, countering each strike with one of his own. The two warriors moved so quickly that they seemed to vanish, reappearing only to clash in a storm of punches and kicks.
The ground quaked under the force of their battle, massive craters forming wherever they landed. Energy blasts erupted in the air as they traded attacks, their auras colliding in a dazzling display of power.
Goten delivered a powerful kick to Yamoshi's abdomen, sending him hurtling backward. Yamoshi stopped mid-air, his emerald aura flaring brightly. Wasting no time, Goten clasped his hands together and unleashed a volley of golden energy blasts. Yamoshi deflected them with ease, swatting the attacks aside as they detonated across the battlefield.
The explosions lit up the sky, their force sending shockwaves rippling across the horizon. Goten stopped his assault, drawing his hands back as he gathered energy. "Kamehameha!" he shouted, releasing a massive blue beam of energy that streaked toward Yamoshi.
Yamoshi responded in kind, forming a glowing green orb of energy in his hands and launching it forward. The two attacks collided with a deafening explosion, the resulting shockwave shaking the entire battlefield.
"Ahhh!!!" Goten roared, pouring more power into his Kamehameha. The beam pushed forward, inching closer to Yamoshi as their clash reached its peak.
