Saga 2: Limitless Power; Goku's Struggle

Man of Steel Saga

'Canterlot High'

Thunder claps littered the night sky, the seven girls below had to cover their ears from the loud noise as Vegeta stood unfazed by the effect. He watched with a serious expression as his rival battled the being known as Superman. Kakarot was having trouble with him no doubt about it, he didn't know if Goku sensed it as well but when the Man of Steel charged up his ki it felt almost....endless.

Vegeta clenched his fists, a mere super saiyan would not be able to defeat this kind of opponent, but at the same time Kakarot was no mere super saiyan anymore. He watched as the teenage saiyan blocked another punch but only to get another punch sent straight for his nose making him stagger back in the air. Goku then sent a wave of blue energy at Superman as the Man of Steel crossed his arms blocking the attack, Goku then charged up his ki and rushed the man in blue gave him a swift punch to the gut.

Superman only smiled and grabbed Goku in a tight hug and began to squeeze making him cry out in pain, he then charged up his purple aura and descended at rapid speeds. Once the ground started to become close he let go of Goku causing the saiyan to shoot to the ground in a cloud of debris and dust, Superman not taking any chances fired a wave of purple ki to where Goku impacted causing another explosion to shake the earth.

"Goku!" screamed Twilight as she started to run towards the crater only for Vegeta to grab a hold of her arm, "Vegeta! Let go! We have to help him!"

"Don't be a fool, you don't have enough power to take on this opponent, you'll be blasted away before you get even two feet of Kakarot."

"B-but..."

She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked to see Sunset, "He's right Twilight, and to be honest I don't think the elements will stop this thing."

"W-what do you mean? Of course they will!" protested Twilight as tears threatened to escape her eyes.

"Those little elements or Rainbow power are useless if you can't hit him." added Vegeta, "And for Kakarot take another look."

Twilight looked back at the creator and her eyes widened when she saw Goku standing, his shirt half gone and glaring at the man floating in the sky. Twilight probably had already said this many times to herself but Goku was truly amazing, she could only think of a few who could survive a blast like that. She looked in worry thought to see that her coltfriend or in this case boyfriend actually hurt and grunting in pain,

"I have to admit, I seem to be having a little trouble." called out Goku.

"Indeed you are, you must know by know that it is pointless." replied the man of steel.

"Nah, I just wanted to know how strong you were and now that I know I can finally stop holding back."

Superman's eyes widened, "What?! You've been holding back."

Goku smirked as small pebbles began to levitate around him, he let out a might scream as his golden aura grew and flailed violently. Hurricane like winds flew around him, causing the girls to hold on to each other at the intensity while Vegeta just stood unfazed with his arms crossed. Man of Steel just watched with an eyebrow raised as Goku screamed once more causing the ground beneath him to give away forming a massive crater beneath him.

Superman's eyes widened when he saw the teenage saiyan with no eyebrows long spiky golden hair that came down to his lower back and green eyes with a serious content. The Man of steel just smiled and let out a chuckle, "You think this will beat me? Let me tell you saiyan, no one compares to me!"

"We'll see about that." said Goku as he rushed the Man of Steel and sent a powerful kick to his jaw launching him upwards, the super saiyan 3 then after-imaged above Superman and sent a bone breaking elbow strike to his back. Superman growled in pain as he launch his head back and striking Goku in the nose making him stagger in the air.

Superman then turned around and sent a fist toward Goku who blocked it as another was sent toward his gut. The teenage saiyan kneed the man of steel in his side as a response as the two kept trading blow for blow in the dark sky, with Superman sending a punch to Goku's abdomen and Goku sending one to Superman's face.

The two locked hands and both spike their auras, trying to gain the upper hand, Goku's widened when he felt Superman's energy spike and was met with a head butt cancelling out his aura. Goku then received a punch to his face launching him into a nearby building, Superman levitated down with his arms cross and barely a scratch on him as he watched the teenage saiyan appear from the building glaring daggers at the man in blue.

"There it was again," said Goku to himself, "This guy has to have a limit, everything has."

Goku then cupped his hands to his sides as he charged up his signature attack, "KAMEHAMEEE.....HAAA!"

The blue wave of energy struck Superman straight in the chest pushing him back, but to Goku's surprised he was pushing it back. Goku fell to one knee but still holding his kamehameha as the man of steel kept pushing it back, the teenage saiyan gritted his teeth and let out a mighty yell increasing the power of his energy wave and blasting Superman into the side of the school in a blue explosion.

Vegeta and the girls couldn't believe at what they were seeing in front of them, this 'Superman' seemed to be giving Goku a thrashing and his and no matter how many times the teenage saiyan retaliates the man of steel stands back up without a scratch on him ready for more. "D-did that do it?" asked Rainbow.

"G-Goku doesn't really look that good." squeaked Fluttershy.

"Yeah, he is not having at all." agreed Pinkie.

Vegeta clenched his fist and grit his teeth,"D-Damn it all!"

The girls looked to Vegeta with worried expressions, "What's wrong Vegeta?" asked Twilight.

"I was afraid of this, who ever this trash is, his power....there is no end....almost endless."

The girls pupils turned to pinpricks at this, "H-How do we beat a creatin' like that?" asked Applejack.

She was met with silence as they watch Goku drop to one knee panting from exhaustion, Superman shot out of the school and growled at the saiyan. Goku saw this and sent a wave of yellow energy toward the man of steel who simply batted away the blast and rammed the super saiyan 3 in the ground and sent a flurry of punches to his midsection.

Goku caught Superman's wrist and swung him towards the ground and shot up in the sky, "This is bad, he's even keeping up with super saiyan 3" Goku said to himself a she watched the man of steel pick himself up, Goku barely had time to react as he dodged two red beams of solar energy burning threw pieces of his golden locks.

Goku sent back a ki blast colliding with another pair of red beams creating an explosion rocking the air, when the smoke cleared Goku's face turned to worry when Superman had disappeared.

"Right behind you." said the voice of the man of steel as Goku turned around only to receive a fist to gut making him cough up blood, Superman then grabbed the head of Goku and kneed him straight in the face launching backwards. Goku stopped his flight and swung behind catching Superman's punch and landing one on the side of his face.

Goku smirked instantly faded, when Superman turned back without a scratch on him, "W-what that can't be!" stuttered Goku, "H-how are you getting this much power."

Meanwhile below Vegeta clenched his fists even harder, the girl could literally feel his frustration radiating off of his body, the saiyan prince felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see the face of Rainbow Dash, "It's not good is it?" she said with a worried tone as the other girls eagerly looked to him for the answer as well.

"Not even close to that," replied Vegeta, "Kakarot's energy is dropping like a rock, while this Superman's energy continues to rise. This is ridiculous! How did this happen!? Kakarot should've had this battle won when he ascended to super saiyan 3!"

"You're right, "replied Twilight, "Nothing as limitless power, unless..."

"Unless, what?" asked Sunset.

"He's getting his power from somewhere else!"

"Great! So where is he getting it from?" asked Pinkie.

"That's the problem, I don't know."

A loud thunderclap caught the groups attention as they saw Goku plummet from the sky and land in a dust of smoke in front of them, the girls gasped in horror at what they saw. Goku's shirt was hanging on half his body, one of his sleeves to his pants were gone, gashes and bruises were on his body from head to toe.

They watched as Goku reverted back to his normal form but was still not moving, Twilight and Sunset instantly rushed to his sides and put each arm over their shoulders and lifted him toward the group. Vegeta got instantly got into a defensive stance as he watched Superman slowly descend down in front of the group.

"it seems your friend didn't put up much of a fight." said the Man of Steel as he took a step forward causing the group to take one back, "No more playing around now, it's time for your destruction."

"NO!" screamed Vegeta as he ascended to his super saiyan 3 form and charged the man of steel, only to feel an aching pain in stomach stopping him in his tracks, he looked down to see superman's fist in his gut making him cough up a fresh batch of blood. How did he move that fast, he didn't even see him. Superman removed his fist as Vegeta hunched over in pain clutching his stomach, "Pathetic." spat out Superman as his eyes glowed red.

"Vegeta!" shouted Rainbow as she ran towards the saiyan.

"Rainbow! No!" shouted Sunset trying to call back the rainbow hair girl but to no avail. However Rainbow wasn't fast enough as she watched in horror as two red beams went straight through Vegeta's chest, putting him on his back. Rainbow stopped and felt her heart drop to her stomach as she ran even faster as she knelt down by the fallen saiyan prince.

"R-Rainbo-" coughed up Vegeta.

Rainbow shushed him as tears flowed down her cheeks, "N-no save your strength."

"I-I'm s-sorry, I lov-," Vegeta didn't get to finish his sentence as he closed his eyes and fell limp. Rainbow had more tears as she shook the saiyan trying to wake him up but to no avail she shook him harder and began to sob as she held Vegeta's lifeless body close to her. The other girls had tears as well, they felt hopeless, Vegeta is gone and Goku is out of comm-

"V-Vegeta," stuttered Goku in the arms of Twilight and Sunset.

"I-I'm sorry Goku he's gone." said Sunset.

"N-No, he can't be, that m-monster," cried Goku as he got out of Twilight's and Sunset's hold and limped his way to Vegeta and Rainbow.

"Goku, darling what are you doing!? You're in no condition to fight him." protested Rarity.

"I-I have to try." Goku made it over to Rainbow who was crying over Vegeta, he placed a hand on Rainbow's shoulder as she looked up at him with puffy red eyes. Goku clenched his fists as he glared at Superman who had a cocky smirk on his face.

"Rainbow," stated Goku, "I'm sorry, this guy is going to pay for what he has done and I'll make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else."

The laugh from Superman caught their attention, "You really!? You must have hit your head during the fall, you are no match for me. I'll kill you just like your pathetic friend."

"No, you won't." calmly said Goku as he closed his eyes, Rainbow had to cover her face as a red aura surrounded Goku, the group covered their eyes as he was engulfed in a red light as he screamed in the night air. Superman's eyes widened at the sudden transformation, as the light dimmed revealing Goku in a flame like aura his hair and eyes blood red, and his wounds fully healed.

Twilight, Rainbow, Sunset, and the others watched in wonder as Goku has ascended to super saiyan god.
