Chapter 33 - Piccolo and Gohan Join the Fray

Suddenly, two figures burst through the shattered doorway Piccolo and Gohan, their ki flaring fiercely.

Piccolo's eyes narrowed with grim determination, his yellow-green Ultimate form radiating an intense, steady light. Gohan's aura burned bright with Ultimate power, the calm fury of a warrior who had faced countless battles.

Together, they landed beside Goku, their presence an electrifying surge of hope.

Xenthus sneered, spinning to face the new challengers.

"More pests to squash."

Gohan stepped forward, voice steady.

"We're not here to be crushed. We're here to end this."

Piccolo's voice was low but resolute.

"Stand your ground, Goku. We fight as one."

The three warriors formed a tight triangle, their combined ki swirling in a storm of golden and green light.

Xenthus's expression darkened, eyes flickering with something like concern for the first time.

"You're strong… but not strong enough."

The battle erupted anew.

Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan moved as one—coordinated, relentless.

Goku's speed returned with a vengeance, striking with precise, explosive punches. Piccolo's energy blasts rained down with surgical accuracy, while Gohan unleashed powerful waves of ki that pushed Xenthus back step by step.

The mothership shook as their battle raged, energy blasts tearing through walls and sending debris flying.

Xenthus growled, powering up further, his dark energy swirling like a storm.

He unleashed a massive ki blast aimed at the trio.

Without hesitation, Goku leapt forward, forming a protective barrier of ki around himself and his allies.

The blast collided, exploding in a brilliant storm of light and shadow.

When the dust settled, all three stood firm—exhausted, battered, but unyielding.

Xenthus snarled, fury burning in his eyes.

"You won't win. I will destroy you all."

Gohan's eyes gleamed with fierce determination.

"Try and stop us."

The alien sky was aflame with streaks of golden light. Dust and debris roiled beneath, kicked up by the force of the ongoing battle. Above the cracked and shattered terrain, two figures blazed with golden energy—Vegeta and Trunks—both fully transformed into their Super Saiyan 3 forms.

Vegeta's eyes burned with an intensity that matched the swirling flames of his aura. Every fiber of his being screamed with battle lust. The frustration of facing lesser opponents earlier had been replaced by a fierce hunger for true challenge, and now, finally, the opportunity had come.

Ahead, the hulking forms of the two most formidable warriors in Lord Xenthus's army loomed like dark mountains. One was a towering brute, muscles rippling and covered in a cracked metallic hide that shimmered under the planet's pale light. The other was lithe and ferocious, sinewy limbs coiled with lethal precision, his gaze sharp and unyielding.

Vegeta's lips curled into a hard smirk.

Across the sky, Trunks streaked forward, his golden hair whipping in the harsh wind. His eyes locked on his father, the battle-ready look in his gaze speaking volumes.

"Let's finish this together dad," Trunks said through clenched teeth, his voice steady but fierce.

Vegeta nodded, pride swelling in his chest. "Hmph. Show me what you've learned Trunks."

The distance between father and son closed rapidly, and in a brilliant burst of speed, they flew side by side, golden auras blazing like twin suns. For a moment, they hovered, shoulder to shoulder, energy crackling wildly around them, a perfect sync of power and will.

Without hesitation, they launched forward Vegeta targeting the towering brute while Trunks darted toward the leaner warrior.

Vegeta's fist struck like a hammer blow, smashing against the metal hide of the brute with a thunderous crack. The enemy barely flinched, retaliating with a massive backhand swipe that sent Vegeta spiraling through the air.

Vegeta grunted but recovered instantly, spinning midair to land with a force that shattered the rocky ground. He charged again, ki flaring wildly as his fists became a blur of relentless strikes. Blow after blow slammed into the brute, the sound of their clash echoing like distant thunder.

Trunks meanwhile was locked in a deadly dance with his foe. The lean warrior moved with terrifying speed and precision, striking with razor-sharp claws and vicious kicks that tested Trunks's defenses.

Trunks dodged, countered, and struck with his own flurry of punches, trying to find an opening in the enemy's defenses. The warrior snarled, his eyes glowing with a cruel intelligence as he anticipated Trunks's every move.

"Not bad, boy," the warrior hissed. "But you're outmatched."

Trunks's jaw tightened. "We'll see about that."

Back with Vegeta, the battle had escalated into raw, explosive power. The brute had revealed his true strength—a devastating energy pulse that sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield.

Vegeta barely had time to raise his arm in defense before the pulse hit, blasting him backward into a crater. Dust and rock exploded in every direction.

Shaking off the impact, Vegeta's eyes blazed with renewed fury.

"Is that all?" he snarled, rising to his feet with a roar that ignited his aura anew.

With a surge of power, he flew at the brute, their bodies colliding with explosive force.

The brute swung a fist as large as a boulder, but Vegeta ducked beneath it and delivered a brutal uppercut that sent the enemy staggering.

The ground cracked beneath the impact.

Vegeta followed up immediately, his fists pounding into the enemy's torso with a relentless barrage.

At the same time, Trunks was fighting for every breath. His opponent was cunning, using quick strikes and evasive maneuvers to wear him down.

Gathering his ki, Trunks launched into a powerful flurry of punches and kicks that pushed the enemy to the edge.

"Now!" Trunks shouted, summoning his energy for a massive blast.

The warrior snarled and tried to block it, but the force was too great. The explosion rocked the battlefield, sending shockwaves that shattered nearby rocks.

Vegeta and Trunks regrouped quickly, flying side by side once more. Both were breathing heavily, their bodies marked by cuts and bruises but their spirits unbroken.

Vegeta's smirk returned, sharper than ever.

"You're getting stronger, boy. Not bad."

Trunks shot him a confident grin. "You're not so bad yourself, old man."

The two Saiyans charged their ki simultaneously, their auras flaring to an overwhelming brilliance that lit up the sky.

Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "Let's end this."

Trunks nodded, energy swirling wildly around them.

Vegeta and Trunks power up a father and son final flash as they scream out

"FINAL FLASH"

The beam exploded outward in a searing pillar of light, engulfing the two warriors in a devastating torrent of pure power.

The ground beneath them exploded as the beam struck, rocks vaporizing and the very air shuddering under the sheer force.

The two enemies were caught in the blast, howling in rage and agony.

The beam carved a massive crater into the battlefield as it tore through the ranks of Xenthus's army on their side.

As the light faded and the dust settled, the two Saiyans hovered, breathing heavily but victorious—at least for now.

Their enemies were down, their side of the battlefield cleared.

But the victory was short-lived.

Suddenly, a strange, eerie silence fell.

From the smoldering wreckage, the two strongest warriors who had just been blasted lay motionless—then slowly, their bodies began to glow.

A strange energy surged between them, a golden aura mixing with a dark, ominous shadow.

Vegeta's eyes narrowed as he sensed the unnatural power.

"What the hell…?"

The two warriors' bodies started to merge, flesh and armor melting into one another, fusing with a speed and precision that sent chills through the air.

In moments, where two had stood, now stood one—an entirely new being.

Towering, muscular, and radiating a fearsome aura that go passed even Trunks Super Saiyan 3 form.

The fused warrior's eyes gleamed with a cold intelligence, voice echoing with combined malice.

"We have become one," the new entity declared. "As strong as Lord Xenthus himself in his base form."

Trunks's face paled.

"That can't be… If they're that strong, we might be in big trouble if Xenthus tranforms."

Vegeta's jaw tightened, eyes narrowing in fierce resolve.

"This fight… is far from over."
