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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAKjDUV8GYtD
Nozomu: “I didn't think we'd need this so soon.c
462Please respect copyright.PENANAGFeaX39C82
Goku: “What kind of form is that? What other tricks could they have up their sleeve?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAo7gHUYW5MZ
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAUv9BCakAtX
Tien: “I can't sense their ki, just how powerful as these guys?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAp6LQZYFq6l
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.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANActIUzuFIGN
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAt3rjXImkps
Pouwar: “Understood, let's get to tearing them apart already!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANATiP8tlL1Ni
Kasai: “On my mark, my friends.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAmnG6Im40Qr
The trio took a stance, preparing to charge into battle.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAZhwvsa4Tg5
Vegeta: “Here they come!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA6cjLlKWnKJ
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAbMwZv4CcSC
"It's dealing serious damage to me without even landing a clean blow!"
462Please respect copyright.PENANAmDnGzbBHBY
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAbnRLMGuQNW
Piccolo: “That fire isn't normal, it burns you down to an atomic level, we can't risk getting touched by that!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAhopli2puti
The proud Namekian grew back his arm and took his distance from the royal elite.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA6z9QLLffLc
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAU7UaQ9LCxj
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.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAvOHsFYXm5h
Krillin: “Is that really all we've been reduced to?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAmq08FPQjyo
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAlaAo5brjQF
Nozomu gave no time for preparation as he engaged with his second attack.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAM3j107OjGo
Nozomu: “Divine dragon bullet!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANASm4doEjd4U
Nozomu shot a ray of fire, shaped like a bolt of lightning from his finger tips.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA6OOWMCFUKF
Tien: “Dodon ray!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAzq4o5PArCD
Tien's precise beam intercepted the attack, saving Piccolo from certain doom.
462Please respect copyright.PENANArzn0ZGxR5R
Tien: “It's clear this guy's done playing around, our attack has to begin now!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAstRXbKDPBG
"Right!"
462Please respect copyright.PENANANdkKVmVydD
The group said in union. They all took separate positions, each isolated as far as possible from Nozomu.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAxrhVrfv7hy
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-”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAqpUXvcizY8
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANASgcHzxmsfC
Nozomu: “What is this attack? No matter where I move, it keeps following!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA0PD5XduAVu
Yamcha: “Haha! Looks like someone can't handle my spirit ball!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAIGKnB4HGhe
Krillin: “You know, you could be a little more creative with those names.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAqbagDdVLOx
Yamcha: “Oh yeah? Mister ‘destructo disc?’”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAD7FeV74aa3
Krillin: “Fine, I got the message.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAyeRoVlQNWG
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAXkmP96dZsU
"Damn it! Which are the real ones? These guys are just playing games with me!"
462Please respect copyright.PENANAyT6CCI4ibU
He thought as he attempted to decipher real from illusion.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAcotQGBVLFb
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAdnSn44kJ1g
Nozomu spun his arms in a circle, gradually picking up the speed until they resembled miniature tornadoes.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAX2sWgi5N7j
Nozomu: “Divine fire hurricane!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANALWbdTBiWFP
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAMNGUxNG3YS
Yamcha: “Damn it! I think he's done entertaining our little gimmick!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANASHcMVzGqHy
Nozomu cleared the scenery, leaving his foes completely wide open.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAKR7PM9dxSU
Nozomu: “I've got you all now!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ssey0O1kX
He darted towards them, approaching at rapid speeds.
462Please respect copyright.PENANASrDJCEkVsr
Krillin: “Tien! Now! Use the moonlight!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4MJiljgZt
Krillin and Tien immediately lined up together, side by side.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAA8kLTrdzf5
"Solar Flare!"
462Please respect copyright.PENANAtugJ8V6HbC
They shouted together as they created an intense bright light with the help of the moon; the light staggered Nozomu.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA6dfGGOwD0u
Piccolo: “This is it! This is the opening we needed! I'm charged up and ready, all of you fire with me!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAZv31eX9WV3
Piccolo appeared once more in the battle field, revealing to have been preparing a powerful charged attack.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA9MfRTQwX6v
Piccolo: “Special beam cannon!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANANfvU4Xg74Z
"Kamehameha!"
462Please respect copyright.PENANAzLJxlxZvnP
Yamcha and Krillin shouted together.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAXCkf8ATJJq
Tien: “Tri-Beam haaaaa!!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAeOuwBfJlte
Their attacks landed together in succession, knocking Nozomu straight to the ground.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAoj6G8J0Dlw
Yamcha: “We did it!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAQrrbXMmy9U
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..”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAdd4W1f8wvQ
Pouwar rose up from a pile of rubble which disintegrated almost immediately. She chuckled as she looked up at Vegeta.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAmVVYCjFavj
Vegeta: “He's still standing after all that. I figured it wouldn't be so easy.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAckhZRbhRee
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAtn9hbCEYdj
Vegeta: “What the hell!?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAtvi1fX3HOt
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA2euVmOzBD3
Vegeta: “It's really starting to annoy me how much I've been shown up by others recently.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAkL0WYvg4eq
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAB71fJJXJQ6
Vegeta: “Wait… You're a woman?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAubWolBjqhd
Pouwar: “Shut up!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAtFs4fNLRWt
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAiiy276LCMv
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAD6o9bq6TqS
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAJmabfeWKhy
Vegeta: “Big bang attack!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAIdqYiNfLri
He dropped the mighty ki sphere on Pouwar who reacted just in time to protect herself with her shield. The attack was disintegrated instantly.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAG3RaPjReNr
Pouwar: “Divine scorch chains!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAcNHY7luV5F
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAdaESRK1py6
Vegeta: “Galick gun, fire!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAlWp95Qojor
The blast sent Pouwar crashing down to a nearby hill. Pouwar regained her composure, standing in shock.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA3NIlMyPJ9h
Pouwar: “How hasn't he disintegrated? These flames burn to an atomic level! Could a being that strong really exist?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA6agq922kOs
She placed her hand on her rib, noticing a bruise.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jy6247oxk
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!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA2E4FOaPXpN
462Please respect copyright.PENANANPHWBjzYye
Goku traded blows with Kasai, they went back and forth, blocking, receiving, evading and delivering attacks.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAXZanS5tYfi
Goku: “Your skills are amazing, there's impeccable precision in your attacks. You weren't kidding when you claimed to be prepared for war.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAojuKMaSZS7
Kasai: “Your blows are tense yet filled with peace, how dare you fight with a calm mind after what you did to my father!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAYNp6yZnibG
Goku: “I haven't done anything, you've got the wrong guy!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ2ZZaYrw3
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANABBqres4Erw
Kasai: “Divine dragon slam!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANADBnc7FiM74
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANATzGivUdp47
Kasai: “Royal dragon's breath!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAHQNQvnZorc
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAOplbYnbc5Z
"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."
462Please respect copyright.PENANA4uChFbbHBt
Goku desperately searched for an answer to his troubles. He reverted back to his base state, taking a moment to breathe and reflect.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAZOs3fyUnJM
"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!"
462Please respect copyright.PENANAaXkrrM3iLa
Goku abandoned his thoughts and set his focus back onto his powerful foe. He remained in his base state.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAO8rXgYVDF3
Goku: “Come at me! Kasai? Right? Hit me with your best!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAOhcEcmXtpF
Kasai: “You beg for death that much? Now that is a wish I shall grant!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAbmwk19RLcy
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA8OLBn3UXLG
"Just a little more! I have to trick my body into fending for itself!"
462Please respect copyright.PENANAhusGLAKJXu
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA5JnR7VoPYR
Pouwar: “Keep ya eyes on the prize, Mr. Prince!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAKWnxeEzCGB
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAyV7RVJef1X
Pouwar: “Hey! This is between us! Coward!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAEInrlMjbUN
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA7jcyOKhjtT
Vegeta: “Kakarot! What are you doing? Why are you making this harder for yourself?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA2e4xQMjR08
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.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAanchoZgg30
Vegeta: “What do you mean?”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAhzjHtt1R0Y
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.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAjUN05CdulH
Vegeta: “You know well that you're far from being able to control that. You're risking your life.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAmSa5SgkFVz
Goku: “It's the same risk I'm taking if we keep things the way they are… Look out!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANARoQzcC95L5
Pouwar interrupted the pair's little talk as she barged in, smacking Vegeta away with her mallet.
462Please respect copyright.PENANADPj07an879
Pouwar: “You wanted to split up and now you wanna fight in pairs? Make up your mind!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA0gc4QMSqSG
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANA4W4D0c1Har
Kasai: “If you desire to make this easier for us, so be it.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAtHzlbEKhjJ
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAVFb0HjnRMP
Pouwar: “Hey, Kasai! Why don't ya tie up the other one too? Keep him still for me c'mon!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAL5IMR8ZS0O
Kasai: “I trust you'll finish them off, Pouwar.”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA654SuTYowD
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANArYCzSWT4Oz
Pouwar: “Divine Solar eclipse!”
462Please respect copyright.PENANAUNiWXcxBno
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAU667bMWvJt
Pouwar: “What the-”
462Please respect copyright.PENANA81pvV0qh98
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.
462Please respect copyright.PENANAPHGpxPcap7
Goku: “I don't know how long I can keep this up for.. I have to finish this, now!”
