77 Tournament of Power End
As they watched and sensed each other's movements, Goku and Vegeta began to mimic each other, compensating for their deficiencies.
Goku pulled Vegeta toward him and Vegeta did the same as they stopped between Jiren. They rushed forward and punched him in the gut, sending Jiren flying backwards.
At the moment of Jiren's desperation, he managed to raise his power significantly and rushed the Saiyans with all of his strength.
Goku and Vegeta were still dodging with all of their might, but Jiren was starting to catch up. Small cuts or burns from where Jiren grazed their flesh started showing up.
Suddenly, when it looked like Jiren was gaining the upper hand, the two Saiyans suddenly burst with a white aura and engulfed the stadium in an overwhelming force of energy.
They reverted to their base forms. However, their hair was white and their eyes silver.
The two dodged Jiren's attack punches and hit Jiren in the gut at the same time.
Jiren's eyes went wide before he felt Vegeta and Goku's fists sinking into his stomach. The force from their combined blow sent the pink alien flying back into the air like a stray cannon ball covered in fire.
The two Saiyans chased him down and turned into blurs as they punched, kicked, and blasted Jiren into a broken mess.
Goku appeared beneath Jiren and placed his hands against the ground before vaulting up with his feet, slamming the base of his feet into Jiren's gut and sending him flying into the sky.
Vegeta then teleported above Jiren and lifted his hands over his head, gripping them together before slamming them into Jiren's face.
Like a hammer hitting a nail, the pink-skinned alien flipped through the air and hit the ground. As he bounced off the floor, Goku appeared beside him and kicked Jiren in the side like a football, sending him flying towards the ledge.
Jiren quickly bounced back. Flames erupted from his body, turning crimson red as he powered up even more.
Suddenly, Jiren held his hands out and shouted, creating giant star-like ball formed between the two perfected Ultra Instinct users.
As it flew towards them, the giant ball of plasma melted everything in the path to dust.
The rest of the Z-Fighters moved out of the way before they powered up and pushed their bodies to the limits to force back Jiren's attack.
"Spiral Riot Javelin!" Bardock blasted out.
"Sunday Buster!" Raditz shouted as he threw out his best attack.
"Spiral Super Kamehameha!" Gohan shouted, powering up to his fullest.
"Zen-Kaio-Ken Times 1,000! Kamehameha!" Krillin shouted before putting everything he head into his attack.
"Zen-Kaio-Ken Times 1,000! Kamehameha!" 18 blasted out with even more strength than her husband.
However, it was Piccolo who stole the show.
Ever since the start of the tournament, he had been powering up a God Beam Cannon.
With now being the most opportune time, Piccolo jumped up in the middle of the attack and released his own.
"GOD BEAM CANNON!" The bright red and yellow spiraling beam shot out and tunneled through Jiren's star before charging towards the Hero from another universe.
Goku and Vegeta shot through the opening while Jiren held his hands out to catch Piccolo's attack.
The beam scorched his hands and pushed him back just far enough for Vegeta and Goku to stomp on Jiren's chest, knocking him off the arena and taking the win for Universe-7.
Jiren sighed as he watched the rest of Team 7 celebrate.
His lone power wasn't enough to protect his Universe, and it was teamwork that destroyed him, "Hahh. I've failed."
After Jiren and the rest of his universe was erased, the Grand Priest was about to declare Universe-7 the victors.
Just when everyone thought the fight was over, the spectators learned that they were all far from being correct.
Goku and Vegeta took one look at each other and started to fight.
Right now, everything in their bodies told them to do so.
Vegeta and Goku's instincts were pushing the two to grow faster. To adapt and evolve, to surpass their limits like never before.
They traded blow for blow, always evading at the last second. The battlefield turned into a wasteland as the rest of the team leapt to the spectators' section.
"Should we interrupt?" Beerus said with a funny expression on his face. He didn't like the fact the two were adapting to this form so quickly.
"Incredible, it appears their Saiyan physiology morphed to handle the immense strength of Ultra Instinct. Their hair has turned into a beautiful shade of white and pushed their bodies to the limits of their powers," Whis commented.
"Lord Zeno wishes to see this fight until the end," The Grand Priest said, quieting the God of Destruction's complaints.
Goku and Vegeta suddenly started laughing as they stopped evading their attacks and began trading blows.
"What happened? Why'd they stop dodging?" Gohan asked with a curious expression.
"They both are of equal strength and speed. The only option that remains is to see who falls first," Kibo explained before kicking his feet back and observing the whole fight with his Tengan.
"How astute, young Kibo," Whis said with a gentle smile.
The battle had countless explosions echo throughout the void. The arena was reduced to a pile of rubble and floating blocks of flatland.
The two Saiyans were using what was left of the arena to jump off and attack each other in mid-air.
They threw countless blows at each other before landing on a stray platform and blasting out with their most destructive attacks.
"Final Gigaflare!" Vegeta shouted as he slammed his hands together and sent out a giant beam of golden and crimson flames.
"Super Spiral Kamehameha!" Goku shouted, sending back a beam that was just as strong.
The two beams collided started creating so much energy that the crowd was beginning to grow worried.
The Grand Priest smiled and waved his hand. A barrier formed around the arena while all of the excess energy was compressed into a small sphere.
Inside the transparent sphere, it looked like entire galaxies were being produced by the clash of Ultra Instinct users.
When the final explosion engulfed the two fighters, the Grand Priest clapped his hands together and absorbed every last spec of runaway Godly Ki.
When the light from the explosion faded, both Goku and Vegeta could be seen standing in their base forms.
They were covered in bruises, blood, and broken bones. However, their smile was bright.
"I surrender," Goku said as he hopped over the spectators' section.
"Why?" Beerus questioned.
Vegeta cast full heal while Goku pointed to him and said, "That's why. I can heal too, but it requires me to absorb the energy of a willingly given Ki."
"Ah, like that spirit bomb you use," Beerus understood Goku's dilemma.
Vegeta laughed and said, "This brings us to 10,101 wins for me, Kakarot!"
"Yeah, yeah, let's see you do the same in the Saiyan Proving Grounds," Goku responded with a dull expression.
"How many times do I have to tell you? I changed the name to the Timeless Training Chamber!" Vegeta shouted.
"Well, maybe you should stop renaming everything!" Goku yelled back.
The Z-Fighters started laughing before the Grand Priest flew up and said, "Well, Vegeta? What is your wish?"
"Bring back the Universes that were eliminated in this tournament, and bring Jiren's master back to life while you're at it, " Vegeta declared.
As the dragon granted his wish, Vegeta turned his back and saw everyone that had been erased suddenly reappear.
He walked up to Jiren and said, "Your master will probably have words for you."
Jiren's eyes widened as he said, "You? You granted my wish?"
"Super Shenron can grant any wish. If I simply added your master in as an afterthought, who can blame me."
"The grand priest chuckled before saying, "Indeed. If you had wished for anything other than the restoration of all the erased Universes, then Lord Zeno would have wiped you all out."
"So this was all a test?" Belmond questioned.
"Yes. You should thank Vegeta. If not for his wish, you wouldn't be here," The Grand Priest declared.
All the Gods of Destruction bowed their heads slightly and started to leave with their teams.
Jiren thanked Vegeta and turned his back while saying, "It's not over. I'll win next time."
"Hopefully, you won't be alone," Vegeta said with a simple wave goodbye.
"Man! I can't wait to get back home and master that form. It's hard to stay in that state, but the rewards..." Goku was jumping around in excitement.
Beerus lifted his head and grinned before saying, "Don't let it go to your heads, mortals. You still have a long way to go."
Goku laughed while Vegeta crossed his arms and smirked.
The group then returned to throw a going-away party for Kibo.
They ate, chatted with one another, Naruto even danced a little.
"So, where will you go from here?" Vegeta asked as he sat next to Kibo with a cup of Sake in his hand.
Kibo smiled and said, "I'll head to my Universe's Heavenly Realm. There are other Gods there that can outclass me in many ways. I figure if I train there, it won't be long before I can defend my world from all harm."
"How altruistic of you," Vegeta commented before taking a sip of his drink.
Kibo laughed and poured himself a cup of Heavenly Wine.
"I don't know about altruism, but better to do good than bad. Karma can be a real bitch otherwise," Kibo replied as he raised his cups up.
Goku appeared and said, "Ooh, can I get another cup of that?"
After pouring him a cup, they raised their cups together while Kibo said, "To good health and the prosperity of our families."
"Cheers!" Everyone said as they took a drink.
"Say...Kibo?" Goku spoke up with a curious expression.
"No, Goku. I'd rather spend time laughing with my friends than fighting them," Kibo responded, knowing what the Saiyan wanted to ask.
"Drat!" Goku said as he snapped his fingers.
Vegeta laughed and waved his hand behind his head before saying, "See ya, Kibo. It's been nice hanging with you."
"Goodbye, Vegeta. I'm sure this isn't our last meeting," Kibo responded as he thought of his home.
They spent the last night before meeting up on the lookout.
They entered the Time Chamber and watched as they left through the only other door.
Vegeta and Goku could feel the different powers training on the other side. They thought that it might be fun to go visit Kibo's world. But right now, they still had to worry about becoming even more powerful.
The enemies they still had to deal with were a threat, Moro, Granola, and most importantly, Fu.
A few months after the Tournament of Power, Goku and Vegeta were taking it easy on planet Earth.
They spent time with their families, trained with each other, and never stopped getting stronger.
Eventually, Jaco showed up on Earth asking for Goku and Vegeta's help to bring down a group of escapees.
Since the Saiyans and Earthlings had long since formed a partnership with the PTO, they usually forwarded their requests to the army. It was rare for them to call on Goku and Vegeta for a job.
"So these guys escaped your prison? Are they strong?" Goku questioned.
"Some, yes. But it's the goat man we have to worry about. I'm bringing you to our best agent in the field so that he can explain."
"Great, another adventure," Vegeta crossed his arms.
T.O.P Saga end.
Author Note: So...I lost the Granola and like half of the Moro Saga. Appologies, I swear if I can't find it, I'll write it up again and release at the end of the month. I don't know if it didn't save, or I backed up an earlier version by accident. But that was like maybe 140K in words gone. Don't remember the exact number, but it was a lot!
