"Where is this sudden heat coming from?"

The Supreme Kai dripped in sweat as he questioned the source of his discomfort. His great elder wiped sweat off of his forehead, sharing his concern.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8jMV8rLwg
Elder Kai: “That's odd, this planet has had the same temperature since its creation! It's not supposed to rise or drop by any means.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvx4H3Fy8A
Supreme Kai: “Do you have any idea what could be causing this?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZP2frzmKT
Elder Kai: “Let me take a look.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o2ivqWR7g
The great elder shut his eyes, he searched the universe for a source. His eyes widened as he gasped in utter shock.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlRdceoCCO
Supreme Kai: “What is it? Great elder?!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSuC5ycj7T
Elder Kai: “Amaterazu! But why is he fighting on earth?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRukMphIta
Supreme Kai: “ Amaterazu? Who is that?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWFLqsJRys
Elder Kai: “Are you familiar with the Tatsu race?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeRGgTrRiE
Supreme Kai: “Yes, but I don't see the correlation here.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhiis5kpVY
Elder Kai: “Perhaps your youth hasn't granted you that wisdom yet, I suppose. Just like the saiyans, the Tatsu race have their own ritual to achieve divinity. Their race feeds off of the rays of the sun, they do not require food to survive, the sun fuels them and strengthens them, simple exposure to it will raise their strength gradually. However, if they were to remain directly within the sun for extended periods of time, their body develops divine ki like us deities.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1EOffncnM
Supreme Kai: ‘So that turns them into the Amaterazu being?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7yVdrz8Tx
Elder Kai: “Not exactly. Ki is not just physical but also mental and spiritual. The mind, body and soul must work together for one's ki to work with them. Once their body has achieved divine ki, they will develop visions which lead them to something, somewhere, or even someone, that provides them closure and inner harmony which their mind and soul subconsciously desired. In order for one's body to fully access divine ki, their mind and soul as well as their body must welcome it. That is why our saiyan friend Goku was able to pull it off, he threw away his pride and embraced the hope his friends had placed on him to defeat lord Beerus. For the tatsu race, this process is made easier as for them it is a religion passed down for generations. They find fulfillment in resurrecting their God and that alone has driven many generations into having their own Amaterazu. However, it's been centuries since the last time a Tatsu awakened Amterazu.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbufOmf5AVV
Supreme Kai: “If this truly is the Tatsu's version of the saiyan god, then shouldn't our friends from earth have no trouble with him?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEHupErCXw
Elder Kai: “Unfortunately that's not the case this time around. The saiyan God's purpose was to give pure hearted saiyans a temporary fighting chance against the forces of evil. Saiyans are not naturally powerful on their own, the ritual was their method of cheating their way into a higher realm of power. A method us kais blessed upon them. We provided a similar blessing to the tatsu race, Amaterazu was meant to bring forth a permanent savior for the race exclusively. A being capable of making all the needs of its kind possible. A long term deity naturally had to be more powerful. Amaterazu is not capable of harm towards others he doesn't deem a threat, which is why I'm curious as to why earth has found itself on the receiving end of his wrath.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzks4rU97IF
Supreme Kai: “I hope our friends can pull through!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUjnWQcbxJ
Elder Kai: “At their current state, I don't see much of a chance. Amaterazu can virtually overcome just about anything as long as he remains powered up by the hope of his race. Whatever it is that may have caused this dispute between him and the earthlings, I hope they settle it soon. If Amaterazu keeps releasing his power like this, he'll burn through everything, the flames could even spread into other universes. This fight can't afford to be dragged out!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rXMCov0ZD
Vegeta: “What…What is that? That thing?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR0L9NBH9F
Their surroundings had been turned into ashes, there was nothing left to catch fire as most of it had been disintegrated.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSwjk7d0oE
Amaterazu: “I serve only one purpose, and that is to bring harmony to my believers! In order for one to reach peace, he must make amends with his conflicts. The chance to fight back is your only blessing, to burn is your fate!”

Krillin gazed upon the land in which they stood. He grit his teeth and clenched his fists.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7VcYRsVfo
Krillin: “This bastard.. He's burned the entire planet! Only the dragon balls can restore it now. But if we don't kill him, even that won't be an option. Marron, 18…. You better hope they havent been caught in the middle of this!! Haaaaa!
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxiNiU6Yuo
Krillin viciously charged at the burning deity. His efforts were halted by Piccolo who restrained the angered warrior.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OyqVKW2ci
Krillin: “Let go!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWEtyZCQCJ
Piccolo: “Krillin! Calm yourself, fool! We have no hope of beating whatever that thing is. We don't need you to be another one of its victims. Stand down, all we can do now is hope Goku can send him back where he came from.”

Amaterazu: “You're rather quiet this time around. Your mind however is not entirely empty.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5z77ly2mC
Goku: “You've checked my thoughts.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYwzrzQKYE
Amaterazu: “It's one of my many abilities. You know very well you can't maintain that state for long. Your character fascinates me, a murderer such as yourself could remain this calm in battle. Learning about you is not of my concern though. I'd much rather dispose of you.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRB42kDSi4
Amaterazu shot towards Goku, erasing the distance between them at a blinding speed. He commenced his attack with a swift punch which Goku managed to block with his forearm. It wouldn't take long for Goku to notice Amaterazu's flames burning through his own surging heat, leaving his mark on Goku's arm once again. His body didn't wait for his thoughts to catch up and struck Amaterazu with an uppercut to his ribs. Goku dropped to the ground and raised himself with his arm to follow up with a kick straight to Amaterazu's chin. The blow tossed the divine dragon into the air. Goku continued his assault, striking Amaterazu with multiple shockwaves at once, all coming from his fists. Amaterazu was launched further into the air. Goku made no waste of time and rapidly approached the airborne Amaterazu. He prepared another kick but was caught by surprise as he found himself entangled in chains of fire.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi45AzzXR0C
Amaterazu: “This little encounter has vastly improved my abilities. Despite my duty to destroy you for our safety, I cannot deny, it is you who I must thank for this growth I have just now developed.”

Amaterazu tightened the grasp of his chains on Goku. He fell victim to their heat as he had once before. The sun god viciously swung the chain, smashing Goku into the ground. He raised the chain, tossing Goku into the air, leaving him bound by the chain. Amaterazu flung himself towards the restrained Goku, his body was suddenly engulfed with fire as he prepared a kick right before impact. Amaterazu crashed into the saiyan with his powerful kick, smashing the chains to bits and slamming Goku into what was left of the ground. The determined warrior struggled to ascend back into the fight.

Piccolo pulled out a small pouch from his belt.

Piccolo: “Korrin could only spare 2 this time around. The harvest wasn't the best this year.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTNYa4G2Y
He passed the pouch to his saiyan comrade. The proud prince swallowed a bean, regaining his depleted stamina.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YQiF03Kg8
Vegeta: “I think it should be obvious, but your guy's intervention won't be of any use by this point. All you can do now is make sure those flames don't reach anything that hasn't yet been burned. I'll go help Kakarot however best I can.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh36GZHS9d

The determined prince fled to the battle field to support his fellow saiyan. Amaterazu forged a bow and arrow made completely out of his powerful flames.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaPw5bLUMF
Amaterazu: “Cupid's burning kiss!”

He shot out multiple arrows which burst into messy piles of fire needles. Goku evaded them, suffering a few injuries in the process. He acknowledged his pain for a moment, feeling his divine essence fading for that split second.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2knmIQqukL
Goku: “My body is being pushed too far, it's getting harder to keep this state stable!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nlXSgZOnP
Amaterazu commenced a second wave of arrows, shooting just as much as the last. Goku prepared to avoid them once again. Vegeta shot the arrows with a blast large enough to get them all in one go. They pierced through his ki attack, remaining undisturbed and continued their direction.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAheng9Ka5
Vegeta: “No way! My attack was completely vaporized!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuNolTyZu3
Goku was left with no choice other than to avoid the needles as best as he could and endure the pain of his further inevitable injuries.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtddZPaMGW
Goku: “He's got me cornered. I still have one more option… Kaaaaaa…meeeee….”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZoCEuwXEP
Goku charged his special move as he awaited Amaterazu's third assault.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jQNOxEdZc
Amaterazu: “It should be apparent that resistance by now would be futile, but dying with a fight is more honorable than simply accepting one's demise I suppose.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEWPjwlzzl
Amaterazu launched his third wave of arrows, expecting a similar outcome. Goku took his chance, finding and taking advantage the smallest gaps in between the arrows to throw them off course with his kicks and using them to reach his opponent. Even with such intense analysis and caution, he could not avoid receiving damage, but he did manage to close more distance between him and the mighty deity above him. Vegeta instantly caught on to Goku's strategy and aided his ally. He tossed a small sphere of ki at Amaterazu's face.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JQwWakE9H
Goku: “Haaaaa…meeee…”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfSu3KaGnS
The ki exploded, the trick caused no damage to Amaterazu, but the smoke had blinded him for a mere moment, a moment which gave the determined warrior the chance he needed. Goku reached Amaterazu, blasting him with one of the greatest Kamehamehas the world had ever seen. The force was so great that it sent the mighty dragon deity flying out of orbit, smashing into and completely destroying nearby planets and moons. Goku took a moment to catch his breath. Vegeta landed next to him. He looked at his fellow saiyan with a stare that sent chills down the prince’s spine.

Vegeta: “Hmph. Well that leaves us with only one option then. We fight, till the very end. Saiyans aren't known for being quitters, we'll stop fighting once the last ounce of blood has left our bodies!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbpaFTLfqa
Goku: “Here he comes!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl2jSVT0EN
Amaterazu crashed back into the earth. He had visible injuries which burned away, recovering almost instantaneously. With no warning, Amaterazu blitzed the duo, striking both of them down. The saiyan duo struggled to face the fire deity. Amaterazu revealed his claws with malicious intent.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFggKSrjI4n
Amaterazu: “Once again, this body has reached new heights. You are mere single individuals, competing with the power of many!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9cQoLHcN6
Amaterazu was met with a sudden blow from behind that interrupted his speech and separated him from the saiyans.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJffYM3JMOo
