Goku, still in his base form, had sent Caulifla flying with a single punch.
He crossed his arms, standing calmly amid the rising smoke.
Then, a crimson blast cannon tore through the haze, splitting the sky like a spear of light.
The sudden strike caught Goku off guard. He braced himself, arms up, boots scraping across the tiles as he slid back several meters before halting the force of the blow.
A heartbeat later, Caulifla burst through the smoke again, fists blazing.
Their battle reignited in a storm of power and fury. Each collision shook the ring, and the shockwaves sent debris whirling like leaves in a hurricane.
With every clash, the dormant Saiyan blood within Caulifla burned hotter awakening, evolving.
Bang!
A heavy hook landed square on Goku's chest, hurling him backward.
"Impressive, Caulifla," he said, landing and wiping dust from his chin. "Your power's growing faster than I thought."
This time, he set aside his restraint.
Goku straightened, focus sharpening. Energy crackled around him, his hair rising as blue lightning arced across his frame. His aura exploded upward he had become a Super Saiyan 2.
He stamped the ground, vanishing from sight.
A split-second later, he reappeared in front of Caulifla and drove his fist straight into her cheek.
"Ahhh! I'll make you pay for that!" Caulifla screamed, swinging both hands as red ki blasts poured from her palms like a raging storm.
Goku countered with his own barrage, each strike colliding midair in a chain of explosions. The energy tore through the stage, sending bystanders tumbling from their perches.
"Th-That's Super Saiyan 2, right?"
From the Sixth Universe stand, Champa swallowed hard. The raw force between them was overwhelming.
"Not just that," Vados said softly, eyes narrowing. "They've both surpassed their limits in this state. But this still isn't Goku's true strength. Caulifla is in danger."
Realizing the gap, Champa threw dignity aside and shouted, "Caulifla! You can't win get out of there!"
But the fiery Saiyan ignored him.
Fueled by pride and adrenaline, she pressed harder, trading blows evenly with Goku in a dazzling display of speed and fury.
Their fists crossed once more. Goku slipped through her guard and drove a punch straight into her abdomen.
Her eyes bulged, and she coughed up spittle.
Yet the rush of adrenaline drowned out the pain.
Caulifla flipped midair, palms striking the ground as her legs whipped up and slammed into Goku's ribs.
The impact sent him flying backward.
"Not bad, Caulifla," Goku called, stabilizing himself amid the smoke. "Keep that up, and someday you might even surpass Super Saiyan 3."
He grinned, genuinely impressed.
Then he turned his head toward Kale, who was standing on the sidelines.
"Come on, Kale. Show me what you've got too."
"What?!" Beerus nearly fell off his seat, both hands gripping his face. "One wasn't enough you want two of them now, Goku?! Are you insane?!"
Down on the field, Kale moved to Caulifla's side.
Her energy began to surge, golden light erupting from her body as she transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Seeing her still calm and in control, Caulifla let out a small sigh of relief. "Good. You're holding it together."
"Let's go!" Goku shouted, thrusting his hands forward. A storm of ki blasts poured out, filling the arena like a rain of meteors.
But against two opponents working in perfect sync, even Goku's assault faltered.
Caulifla and Kale dodged, weaving through the explosions with practiced coordination. Both raised their hands, forming twin spheres of energy.
"Goku!"
"You're getting too full of yourself!"
They hurled the twin blasts at once.
Goku caught both, one in each hand, his muscles tightening.
Then he powered up again.
Boom!
The twin blasts detonated.
For a moment, the sisters thought they had won but the air soon trembled with crushing pressure. The aura radiating from the smoke made their hearts seize.
When the haze cleared, Goku stood there, his hair now long and golden, arcs of blue lightning flashing around him.
He had transformed into Super Saiyan 3.
"Thanks to you two," Goku said calmly, his voice deep and resonant. "Fighting you has drawn out a power I didn't even know was still in me."
The weight of his aura pressed down like gravity itself.
Kale's breath quickened. Her hands shook. If they lost here, she and her sister would be erased from existence.
They were the Sixth Universe's last hope.
Fear and desperation flooded her heart. She screamed, unleashing her full power.
"Ahhh!"
Her ki skyrocketed, her body expanding with muscle.
"Kale!" Caulifla cried, dread seizing her chest. She could feel something wrong in her sister's aura wild, unstable.
She reached out, trying to stop her, but Kale's eruption blew her back instantly.
The ground shattered beneath her feet as blinding green energy tore upward like a volcano.
The entire Void Realm shuddered as her power broke free.
"Kale!" Caulifla shouted, running forward. But her sister's eyes had gone blank, consumed by rage.
Caulifla grabbed her hand in desperation.
"Kale, stop! It's me!"
The berserk Saiyan roared and swatted her aside, smashing her deep into the tiles.
"Kale!" Caulifla gasped, struggling to rise. "It's me! Your sister! Wake up!"
Her voice cracked through the chaos. Kale hesitated mid-strike, her trembling fist hovering inches away. The fury in her eyes flickered.
"Si… sister?"
Tears welled at the corners of Kale's eyes. Her massive form began to shrink, muscles receding, energy calming.
The storm had begun to fade.
