"It appears that I have a new challenger." Kefla commented, as she had been focusing on Rainbow the entire time she had been standing there, because she figured that she could eliminate one of the warriors from Universe 13 and then tackle the Saiyans that she had been fighting earlier, when she was Caulifla and Kale, "So, who are you exactly?"

"My name is Rainbow Dash, though you can call me Rainbow if you prefer," Rainbow replied, though at the same time she kept her body at the ready, because she had seen the power that Kefla had commanded and knew that she needed to be ready for anything and everything that her foe could throw at her, especially since there was no telling what sort of power she might have unlocked during her fusion, "I'm also one of the strongest warriors in Universe 13, one of the top three I should say, so you should feel honored that I came over here to fight you for a while."

"Oh really?" Kefla asked, to which her aura snapped into existence and shook the air around her, showing that she didn't much care for what Rainbow had said, as she was entirely focused on her own power and the strength she now possessed, which only revealed that Caulifla's personality might be the strongest of the two, "What can you do against the bubbling power that rests in my body? Nobody can stop me! Not you! Not Son Goku or Vegeta! Not even Jiren can stop me with the sheer power I possess!"

Rainbow sighed as she shifted her body just a tiny bit, a movement that only a select number of the observers would have noticed, before she rushed through the air and slammed her fist into Kefla's face, sending her flying through the air until she collided with the side of another rock pillar, one that shattered instantly. As she landed on top of the rock wall that Kefla had been standing on, and did a few jumps to get herself pumped for the fight, Rainbow noticed that her uncle was shocked by the fact that she had landed a hit on Kefla, one that was powerful enough to send her flying, while her father and mother smiled, as they were happy to see her putting their lessons to use. It surprised her that Champa didn't consider her and Applejack to be threats, since he knew they had been trained by Beerus and Whis for a number of years, but at the same time she came to a stop and focused on the area that Kefla had been knocked into, as she knew that it was only a matter of time until her target came at her. Of course she was more than happy to keep Kefla stalled in such a manner, as it gave Goku and Vegeta some time to do what she told them to do, though the reality was that it was only a matter of time until Kefla burst out of the rubble she had been knocked into and attacked her, which was what she was hoping would happen next.

In fact Kefla used her aura to blow the rubble to pieces and loosed a shockwave that demolished a few of the other large pieces of rock that rested around them, though that was before she burst through the air and raced towards where Rainbow was standing, who shifted her body as she jumped to the side, avoiding the attack as Kefla smashed the rock wall to pieces with her brute strength. Kefla, noticing that she had missed, shifted her gaze and rushed at Rainbow again, who raised her arms and used the palms of her hands to block the incoming punches that were aimed at her, finding that they were strong and that her foe shouldn't be underestimated, before she jumped over the incoming kick and swung her leg at Kefla, knocking her backwards despite the fact that she raised an arm to block the attack. Of course she knew that such a kick wasn't enough to actually do anything to Kefla, besides pushing her around a little, but for the moment she wasn't actually trying to beat her, she just needed to keep her foe's attention on her and not the area that Goku and Vegeta were standing in, otherwise that would ruin the plan. Fortunately it seemed like Kefla had no interest in the pair of Saiyans that she had been fighting as two people, as she rushed forward and threw a few punches at Rainbow, who fell back into a few movements that allowed her to dodge the incoming attacks like they were nothing, before planing a knee in Kefla's stomach and forced her to take a few steps back, even though she had a smile on her face as she did that.

Interesting enough while the two of them were exchanging blows, and moving a little further away from the area that Goku and Vegeta were in at the same time, one of the Destroyer Gods commented on the use of the Potara Earrings and whether or not Kefla should be disqualified for doing such a thing, only for the Kings of All to declare that fusion, as a whole, was interesting and the Grand Priest announced that it was okay to use the Potara Earrings. Rainbow noticed that Beerus and Shin glanced at each other, no doubt thinking of tossing Shin's earrings down to someone from their team or from Sunset's team, so they could deliver them to Goku and Vegeta, but in the end they seemed to decide on not using them at all, as they noticed what the pair were doing and decided not to interrupt their plan. In fact Heles was given the Potara that her Kaioshin wore and tossed them down to the fighting stage, where two of her warriors caught them and attempted to put them on, only for Kefla to turn on them and ran right through the area they were standing in, throwing them to the side and smashing the Potara they had been given, showing that she wanted to be the only fusion on the fighting stage and wasn't about to stand for another one taking the spotlight from her.

Once Kefla was done harassing Universe 2's warriors, even if it was for a few moments, she returned to the area that Rainbow was in and gathered some ki into her right hand, where she hurled a potent green colored ki blast at Rainbow, who raised her arm and fired her own blast at it, blowing the attack up before it could reach her.

"Your strong, I'll give you that," Kefla commented, as she was quite amazed that there was a fighter that could equal her power and not take any damage from her attacks, but at the same time she was only getting started as her aura burst into existence and her power rose once more, "but your power is nothing compared to the bubbling energy that is coursing through my body at the moment!"

"So you say, despite the fact that my base power is more than enough to deal with you." Rainbow replied, as that was something that amused her, because Kefla seemed to think that she was all powerful and that her attacks would eventually turn the tide against her, when the reality was that her base power was more than enough to take on the power of Caulifla and Kale combined, meaning for her to get serious she'd have to face off against whatever Super Saiyan form her opponent might use in the future, "not that it matters in the long run, since I'm not the one that will beat you and knock you off the fighting stage."

"Oh? Then whose supposed to beat me?" Kefla asked, because she was interested in what her current foe had up her sleeve, as this seemed to be a trick that was designed to lower her guard and she wasn't falling for it at all, hence the reason that her aura was still up and her body rested in her battle stance, "Don't tell me you think that Son Goku and Vegeta can defeat me, when their power is nothing compared to the power is possess!"

"Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong," Rainbow stated, causing a look of confusion to cross Kefla's face, showing that she had no idea why she had said what she had, before she turned her head back towards the area that her friends were standing in and braced herself, "Goku, Vegeta, are you guys ready?"

"Ready!" Goku and Vegeta replied, where Rainbow found that the two of them were standing near each other with the required distance set between them, including the fact that their energies were identical, as that was another key element to this technique, before the two of them raised their arms in a way that had them pointing away from their friend, as in Goku pointed his arms to his right and Vegeta pointed his to his left, and they were both in their base forms.

In the following moment the two warriors took three steps towards their partner, moving their feet in the manner that was required for this technique to work, and when they stopped near each other their arms had moved as well, as they were now facing their partner, though while all that happened they said 'Fu...'. After that Goku raised his right knee and brought it close to his waist, with his foot resting near the underside of the upper part of his right leg, while also moving his arms so they now faced the direction they had started in, movements that Vegeta mirrored in the opposite direction, and they both included the '..sion' part of the technique. Once that was done the two of them leaned towards each other, in the sense of two forty-five degree angles, and made sure their fingertips were touching, instead of them missing their target altogether, while calling out the 'Ha!' part of the technique, showing the warriors that knew of this technique that they had done it correctly. Rainbow grinned as Goku and Vegeta were engulfed in a brilliant light that took on the appearance of orange flames, where the two warriors seemed to disappear entirely for a few moments, but she knew what was going on and backed away from Kefla, as this was no longer her battle.

When the light faded, however, everyone watched as a warrior, who had Goku's physique, meaning that he had the same tall and slender body that Goku had, that was combined with Vegeta's facial features, while at the same time his hair had Vegeta's widow peak with a bang that was hanging down near his left eye, no doubt from Goku. The attire the warrior was wearing was a white pair of shorts that looked like they came from a gi, he had a obi-belt around his waist that was dark blue colored, with some fabric, the ends of the belt, that moved in the wind, and a black colored vest, one that revealed his muscular chest, that came with yellow padding around his neck and shoulders. Once the light from their fusion had disappeared entirely, and he had taken a moment to stretch his arms, as it had been a while since Goku and Vegeta had fused in this way, the warrior raised his fingers to his forehead and used the Instant Transmission to move over to where Rainbow and Kefla were waiting.

"W... Who are you supposed to be?" Kefla asked, because she could easily see both Goku and Vegeta in the warrior that had come to fight her, but at the same time it only confused her, as she had no idea who she was talking to and had no idea what they had done.

"I am not Goku or Vegeta... I am Gogeta." the warrior replied, though at the same time a grin appeared on his face, as he was ready for whatever Kefla had in mind and he definitely wasn't afraid of her powers, hence the reason he shifted his arms into his signature battle stance as he faced his opponent.

"Beerus, that's cheating!" Champa declared, as he wasn't about to have his brother use such a technique against the trump card that his universe had been saving the entire time, not when they were so close to knocking Rainbow off the fighting stage and taking out one of Universe 13's greatest warriors.

"Actually, Champa, it's not cheating." Beerus calmly replied, surprising those that knew him, as they were used to him being angry whenever someone accused him of breaking the rules and cheating to get his way, even if they were false and the speaker was only trying to undermine his reputation, "This is the Metamoran Fusion Dance, a technique that does the same thing that the Potara do, that being the combination of two warriors into a single entity, producing a powerful warrior in the process. Since this is an actual technique, one that both Goku and Vegeta had to learn and master before they could use it in battle, it's perfectly legal in the grand scheme of the tournament."

Champa growled for a moment, as he still wasn't used to the new Beerus that everyone was dealing with and he didn't like the fact that the Grand Priest agreed with him, accepting the Fusion Dance as an acceptable technique, to which he sat back down and glared at the two fusion warriors that were going to battle each other, all while silently hoping that his was the stronger warrior.

"So you're just a copycat." Kefla stated, as she had heard what Beerus said and it sounded like Goku and Vegeta had done the same thing that Caulifla and Kale did, even if it was by a different technique, before she chuckled for a few seconds as she took in what she thought of, "What a bunch of weaklings. You were so scared of being eliminated from the tournament that you decided to play copycat and fuse into a powerful warrior as well... and here I thought the two of you were braver than that."

"You aren't the first one to call them cowards, when they aren't like that, and you certainly won't be the last one to do such a thing either," Gogeta replied, though it was amusing that Kefla considered the Fusion Dance to be the same thing as using the Potara, as while they were on some level they were still different techniques, as the strength of the warrior differed depending on which one was used, before he readied himself, "though I think it's about time the two of us get our battle started, so we can see which of us is superior."

Kefla, despite herself, grinned as she charged through the air and raced towards the area that her new foe was standing in, where she swung her fist at Gogeta with the intent of throwing him off the fighting stage in one swift motion so she could do the same to Rainbow. What actually happened was that her fist struck Gogeta's chest and nothing happened, as in she barely left a mark that indicated she had struck him and he didn't move at all, showing that he was powerful and that she was a fool for thinking that she'd easily defeat such an opponent. In fact, before she could respond or move away from where she was standing, Gogeta punched her in the chest and stunned her for a moment, allowing him to spin himself slightly as he kicked her in the side, sending her flying into the side of a rock wall, collapsing the entire thing on top of her in the process. Not even a few moments later Kefla did the same thing she did when Rainbow knocked her into one of the rock walls, she released her aura and blew the rubble to pieces, this time releasing enough power to smash each and every rock wall that was around them, showing that she didn't want to be hit into another one while she was fighting whoever her opponent happened to be.

While all that happened Gogeta lowered his leg and readied himself, as he knew that this particular foe would be more interested in taking him out now that he had shown that she wasn't as strong as she thought she was, and he was eager to see just how much of her power he could draw out before eliminating her.

Rainbow was glad that she decided to pull away from them when she did, as not a few seconds later Kefla charged forward once more, with her aura surrounding her, and she loosed a storm of blows that were designed to hit Gogeta and weaken him, who actually parried the attacks with his own punches and kicks. The result of their energies colliding caused some of the floor around them to break apart as they exchanged blows with each other, much to the amazement of those that were watching them fight, before Kefla jumped backwards and raised her right hand into the air for a moment. That was a clear sign that she was going to charge a ki blast, which was what she did as a green ki orb, about the size of her entire body, appeared above her hand, one that she hurled towards Gogeta the moment it was ready, as she intended to blow the entire area around her foe up and use the smoke as cover for her next attack. Gogeta, on the other hand, raised his right fist and let some of his white base aura surround it, where he swung at the orb of energy and struck it, causing the attack to detonate earlier than Kefla was planning, even though it did produce the smoke that she was planning on using against him. In fact she rushed right into the smoke and headed straight for her target, thinking that he would be distracted by all the smoke and wouldn't be able to see her coming, but that was the fatal flaw in her plan, because even if he couldn't see his foe coming Gogeta could still sense where she was coming from.

A kick to the chest was all that was necessary to send Kefla through the air, where she came to a stop against the floor a few seconds later, and the smoke that had been around them vanished in response to what Gogeta had done, even though he turned and looked at his opponent, indicating that they were far from finished.

"This is quite the fight to watch." a voice said, to which Rainbow turned her head slightly and found Frieza, of all the warriors from their teams, standing behind her, though she could tell that his focus was on the two fusion warriors and not on anything else, "Aren't you annoyed that he took the battle from you?"

"No. I stalled her on purpose, to give them time to get ready." Rainbow replied, though at the same time she had to admit that it would have been interesting to see which of them would have won in a fight, if she was the one fighting Kefla and not stalling her for someone else, "Besides, even if I did fight her, I would have stuck to using my full base power and the Kaio-Ken, instead of wasting my true power on a foe of her level. After all, I'm still keeping my true power hidden until I can focus on one of Belmod's warriors and have a one-on-one battle with him, especially after what Applejack told me about his involvement in the final match of the Zen Exhibition Match."

"Ah yes, Toppo." Frieza stated, where he glanced off to the side, in the direction that the Pride Trooper had been heading off in, and spotted something that would ruin their chances in the future, as a certain warrior was now standing near the area that Kefla and Gogeta were in, "Though it appears that Gogeta's power has encouraged Jiren to stop his meditation and observe the battle like everyone else, as he's standing near Toppo and Dyspo again, meaning he's interested in how this fight is going to end, despite it only just beginning."

Rainbow glanced in the direction that Frieza was looking in and spotted Jiren off in the distance, no longer meditating as he stood and felt the energies that Gogeta and Kefla were using, no doubt gauging how strong each of them were before determining if either of them were a threat to his universe. This was another good reason that Sombra's plan of keeping their true powers hidden, until the right time, had been the one they went with, as there were foes that were studying their warriors in an attempt to see if they could take them out, and if they kept Jiren in the dark he'd be surprised when they finally went on the offensive and showed him their true power. While she was thinking about that, however, Kefla got back up and charged back into the battle, where she went on the offensive once more and Gogeta either dodged or parried her attacks, just like he had been doing earlier, causing Rainbow to turn her attention back to the fight that was happening before her eyes. Despite what Kefla believed, about her 'bubbling power' being stronger than everyone else in the tournament, it was clear that Gogeta was much stronger than she currently was and that her attacks had no effect on him, as she couldn't push him back and that seemed to annoy her even more.

In fact Gogeta dodged one of Kefla's incoming attacks and slammed his fist into her chest, knocking her away from him once more, though this time around she raised her aura once more and loosed a series of smaller ki blasts at him once she landed on the floor, where Gogeta simply moved his body and avoided the attacks, which struck a rock wall in the distance behind him and blew the structure to pieces.

"Okay, I take back what I said, you definitely aren't a coward." Kefla stated, to which she got up and rubbed her chest, as she wasn't expecting Gogeta to be this powerful, especially since none of her attacks seemed to be doing anything against her opponent, but that just meant that she needed to push herself to a higher level and take him out, "But that does make me wonder why you aren't using any of your transformations against me."

"Truth be told, I don't think there's any need for me to transform just yet," Gogeta replied, reminding those that were watching that his hair was the natural black coloration that a Saiyan possessed, and not the yellow, red, or blue colors it took if he used one of the forms he had access to, meaning this was his base power that was pushing Kefla to her limits, which likely annoyed Champa to some degree.

"Why? Am I not worthy of your full power?" Kefla inquired, because she was beginning to think that her foe was holding back on purpose, just to show everyone that she wasn't worth taking seriously, and if that was the case she was going to be very annoyed with Gogeta.

"Of course you are, I'm just warming up at the moment." Gogeta stated, as that was true, because one of the Saiyans that went into making him was Goku and that warrior liked to warmup before getting serious about a fight, but if Kefla showed him her true power, and actually started to turn the tide against him, he would show her the true power that he possessed, especially when one considered who went into making him.

"Is that so?" Kefla asked, to which she grinned as her aura reappeared around her once more, only this time around the intensity of the aura shook the area around her, showing everyone that was watching that she was trying to reach a new level of power, all so she could force Gogeta to get serious, "In that case, I'm going all-out!"

Gogeta watched as Kefla pushed herself into her Super Saiyan state, as her hair became spiky and lost the ponytail she had gained, while her aura expanded until it was five times as large as it had been moments ago, causing the floor to shake as green beams of light erupted from several spots around them. The result of her powering up to a new level of power caused the floor around her to suffer as parts of it broke, while at the same time the warriors and gods on the stands could definitely feel the power she was putting out, as a few of them were surprised by the sheer power she now commanded in her Super Saiyan state. A few moments later the dust and smoke cleared, revealing that Kefla's aura had reverted back to it's original size, even though she remained in her new form and her hair had turned green like Kale's did when she transformed, and she even had a smirk on her face, as if she believed that this level of power put her above the power that Gogets possessed, making him wonder what sort of power her attacks would have now.

"Don't wet yourself out of fear, Gogeta." Kefla stated, showing that she might be more arrogant now that she had obtained her Super Saiyan form, something that she could use because both Caulifla and Kale had access to the form when they were two separate warriors, before her stance shifted a little.

Gogeta noticed the movement and responded in kind by rushing forward, which was the same thing that Kefla did, to which their fists and legs met each other as they started to exchange blows in the middle of the area they were fighting in, where the air around them shook as they battled. After a few moments Gogeta flashed behind Kefla and tried to strike her, only for his for to move out of the way and avoid his attack, causing the two of them to put some distance between themselves before firing a series of small ki blasts at each other, which connected and exploded in the middle of the space they were fighting in. The result of their attacks colliding was that a few more bits of the fighting stage broke off of the edge, something that happened from time to time thanks to the power of the warriors that were fighting, before Kefla seemed to think of a better plan and ditched the ki blasts, only to reveal that she was going on the offensive once more as she threw a series of punches and kicks at Gogeta. Of course, like the last few times this happened, Gogeta stayed on the defense and parried the incoming attacks that were heading his way, finding that Kefla's power had definitely increased to a whole new level, but at the same time he wasn't about to give up, especially since the meeting of their fists caused a crater to be punched into the area they were fighting in, causing them to separate once more.

While the two of them stared at each other, each waiting for the other to make a move, Gogeta came to a decision based on what was happening and knew that it was time to see what Kefla did in response to what he had planned, as this was going to start a countdown to the end of their fight.

"Okay then, let's get serious." Gogeta said, to which he noticed a smile appear on Kefla's face, as she was clearly hoping for him to assume one of his transformations and take her seriously, where he let his aura surround him before he moved backwards and glided over the top of the stage floor.

Kefla, seeing that Gogeta seemed to be messing with her again, summoned her aura as she burst through the air, following after him as he moved around the area they were in, and leveled her palm with her target, where she loosed a number of red beams that were designed to hit her target and damage him. Gogeta, on the other have, weaved his way through the series of ki beams that were coming at him, allowing them to pass him by and strike the floor around them, resulting in explosions that rocked the area they were moving around as small craters were formed all over the place. He did notice that some of the warriors that were in the immediate area ran away, to get out of the way, and soon enough the two fusion warriors had a whole section of the fighting stage to battle in, which was good for him since he had the feeling they were going to need the space soon. Kefla either didn't seem to mind that the other warriors were vacating the area or she didn't care about them at all, as her focus was on him and no one else, which was just fine with Gogeta as he moved around the area and avoided the beams that were racing after him, which just showed how determined Kefla was to hit him if she was sending out this many attacks to hunt him down.

A few moments later, when he felt that he had dodged the beams enough, he spun around and stood straight once more, where he blocked the rest of the attacks with his arms and knocked them away from him in such a manner that negated their ability to explode, causing them to break apart once they hit the floor.

"Now it's my turn." Gogeta stated, where the observers watched as a golden aura formed around him, one that many of them were familiar with by now, since they had seen three of the four Saiyans use a form with a golden aura, and the air around him vibrated as he pushed himself into his Super Saiyan form.

Kefla, despite watching his transformation as she closed in on him, charged through the air and slammed her fist into the side of Gogeta's face, actually knocking him backwards for once, but that came to an end rather quickly as he regained himself and charged through the air, repeating her attack and knocking her away once more. The moment Kefla righted herself, and was no longer moving backwards, the two of them charged at each other and clashed in the middle of the area that the other warriors were letting them fight in, where the air vibrated under the intensity of their power and the floor broke in places, showing how powerful they both were. Gogeta did score a good punch a few seconds later, knocking Kefla back a little, causing her to growl as she rushed in for another attack, only this time Gogeta moved his arms in front of his chest, in a style she had never seen before, and soon she found her incoming punch missing her foe as Gogeta used his left palm to direct her attack. Before she could do anything else, such as move away from what was coming her way, Gogeta struck her with a powerful elbow to her chest, one that stunned her for a few seconds, before he spun around and kicked her in the side of her face, sending her crashing into one of the rock pillars, which created a crater around her when she came to a stop. Gogeta continued his assault by getting to the top of a nearby rock pillar and pulled his energy into a spot between both his hands, like he was charging a Kamehameha, though the reality was that he unleashed a storm of brilliant blue colored ki blasts that raced towards where Kefla was resting, so much so that it looked like he was trying to blot out the sky, from her perspective anyway.

Instead of being buried in ki blasts, which resembled the smaller beams she had used earlier, Kefla got to her feet and stood her ground as the first of the attacks struck the area she was residing in, blowing small holes in the floor around her while knocking her around a little, not enough to send her flying since she was able to stay in one spot while her head and body moved a little, before she summoned her aura and forced the attack to stop by bursting out of the rubble, only to appear near her opponent. Gogeta smiled as Kefla neared him, showing that he was expecting something like this, and cut off his attack as the two of them flashed around the area they were in, appearing every now and then to exchange a blow or two that caused the air to shake, but for the most part Kefla found that her attacks weren't having the impact they were having moments ago, when her foe was in his base form, and wondered if this was the difference in their power, before shaking her head as she avoided the next attack and pushed Gogeta back a little. Kefla backed away after that, keeping to the flow of appearing and disappearing as she moved around the area they had chosen to fight in, before deciding on a new tactic as she charged six decent sized ki blasts, three above each of her hands, which she then proceeded to throw through the air. Gogeta, on the other hand, loosed his own ki blasts at hers and detonated them, showing that he wasn't going to let them get anywhere near him, before he pulled his hands close to each other and started to charge a Kamehameha, one that would hurt if it hit his target.

Kefla, instead of letting it hit her, jumped backwards and landed on top of a rock pillar, where she charged her ki into her hands and fired a red beam of energy at the incoming attack, where the two beams struck each other in the middle of the area they were fighting in and detonated, blowing a good sized crater into the floor.

"It's hard to imagine that this is the power of two fusion warriors using Super Saiyan against each other," Kefla said, as she was wondering if Gogeta was messing with her or not, because the sheer power that he possessed in the first form he had access to only made her curious as to what sort of power he might wield in the later forms.

"I would agree with you, as I've never fought another fusion warrior, made from two Saiyans, before today." Gogeta stated, because despite the fact that there was an afterlife kingdom for the Saiyans of Universe 7 to reside in, thanks to their heroic deeds after turning to the side of good, Goku and Vegeta had never fought another warrior that was made from two Saiyans, but at the same time he found Kefla to be a worthy opponent, "Kefla, I have to say that your strength and power is amazing, especially now that you've accessed your Super Saiyan form, and it only makes me wonder how much higher your power will grow."

"Your power is exciting me to no end!" Kefla replied, showing that her attention might be on the power that was coming from her opponent, instead of the words that he was saying, though at the same time Gogeta felt that this might actually cause her to awaken the other transformation that she had access to, "Come on, I want to see just how strong you really are, before I knock you from the fighting stage."

Gogeta responded by rushing right at the pillar that Kefla was standing on, though as he did so he actually spun around so he would be striking at her while he was upside down, an odd thing to do considering that such a thing really wasn't necessary, but it did keep Kefla on guard as he neared her. Kefla had to admit that it was an interesting tactic that she never saw coming, as she misjudged what Gogeta was doing and opened herself to his next attack, resulting in four rapid punches to her exposed chest, each stunning her as they struck their target, before he spun and kicked her back down to the floor, making a small crater around her. Instead of laying there, waiting for something to happen, Kefla jumped back onto her feet, with only spending a few seconds in the crater, before bursting through the air as she rushed at her opponent once more, to which she threw some punches and kicks that Gogeta countered with equal force, causing the area around them to continue shaking as it felt their powers colliding with each other. Even if one of them were sent flying from the central area they were staying in, and weren't straying far from, that warrior would return and continue the battle, and even ki blasts seemed to be worthless at the moment, as Kefla's always flew right by Gogeta and struck one of the rock walls around them, blowing them to pieces, causing her to attack more and rely on her actual strength.

The observers, despite their opinions on the various universes that were competing in the tournament, found that the battle between them was worth watching, as their powers were so great that they had stopped everyone else from fighting and were now the center of attention, prompting the Kings of All to cheer for the two warriors, as it seemed that neither of them could decide on who they wanted to win and settled for enjoying the actual fight.

Not a few moments later Gogeta decided to break the stalemate they were in and went on the offensive, dodging the next attack that was coming his way before he loosed a powerful uppercut that stunned Kefla, before kicking her in the side and sent her away from the wrecked area they had been fighting in. As she moved through the air, and regained herself in the process, Kefla loosed a powerful ki blast that ended up missing her target, mostly since Gogeta dodged it before it could hit him, and the blast shattered the rock wall that it eventually collided with, creating even more rubble in the large area they had claimed as their battleground. That didn't stop her from loosing a storm of ki blasts in Gogeta's direction, because if he was going to fly around like a fly she was going to try and squish him like one, though the truth of the situation was that he weaved around her attacks and then, when he found a safe spot, he launched his own version of her attack, the same one he used against her when she was in the crater. Kefla carefully dodged the incoming attacks, making sure to let none of them hit her, before rushing at her opponent once more, where Gogeta smiled and rushed at her as well, to which their fists collided when they got close to each other and the air around them shook under the intensity of their powers, before Gogeta kicked her in the side and send her flying once more.

This time around Kefla came to a stop near two equally sized rock pillars and stood up, where she rubbed her side for a few seconds as she focused on her foe, who was proving to be quite a handful in his current form, making her wonder why he hadn't eliminated her yet, before she decided it was time to see what he was truly capable of.

"Come on, what's the matter?" Kefla asked, because if her past experience told her anything she might get her foe to show off his true power by mentioning that he was weak or that he was afraid of something, even if that was a rouse to get him to expand more energy and awaken her own dormant powers, "Why don't you go Blue already? Are you afraid that I'll end up beating you, and eliminate you from the tournament, once you use your final transformation?"

"No, I was just seeing how our powers matched up," Gogeta replied, though at the same time he decided that it was time to stop playing around and take this seriously, to which he jumped backwards and landed on top of one of the rock pillars, allowing him to stare down at Kefla as his aura sparked into existence around him, "but, if your so eager to face me at the peak of my power, I'll meet your challenge by using my final form: Super Saiyan Blue!"

As soon as he said that, and got Kefla's attention, Gogeta focused his mind and power, causing his aura to transform into the blue aura that accompanied the final form that he had access to, and the air shook as he shifted into his Super Saiyan Blue form, all while his aura formed a pillar around him that caused the area to vibrate.

"I was right, this power excites me!" Kefla stated, as a grin appeared on her face, because her thoughts about her foe's true power causing her own power to awaken had been accurate, to which she jumped onto the other pillar and faced her opponent, who seemed curious as to what she was doing, "Even so, I refuse to lose to someone like you!"

Gogeta and the others watched as blue lightning danced around Kefla's aura when she summoned it, showing those that knew of the Super Saiyan forms that she was finally reaching her Super Saiyan 2 form, which was the highest form she could reach since neither Caulifla or Kale had gained the others, and her hair did shift a little to show that they were correct in their thoughts. The sheer power of her actions caused whatever rock walls that rested around them to be utterly destroyed in a few seconds, and it even tore up some chunks from the floor and threw them around, where they crashed in front of some of the observers, causing them to jump backwards while they watched the end of the battle unfold. Some of the watchers seemed to think that they were going too far, that they had no sense of moderation at all, while Cabba, out of all people, realized what Kefla was doing at the moment, even though the fusion warrior was currently focused on pushing her power even higher, so she could smash Gogeta into the ground. Beerus, on the other hand, wasn't too concerned about her rise in power, as he knew what sort of power and abilities Gogeta possessed, even if they had no idea the full extent of his abilities, and knew that Kefla would need to get access to Super Saiyan Blue to really pose a threat to him, but he watched the battle with interest like everyone else.

"Yes, yes, yes! My power is skyrocketing! Hooray for being born a Saiyan!" Kefla declared, showing that she was so engrossed in her own power that she might not even be thinking straight, though at the same time she flexed her hand as several small bits of red ki danced in front of her, spinning around to form a disc shaped ki blast that seemed to be resting around her right fist, "I like this one! I feel like I could blow away an entire universe in one shot with the power that's bubbling up inside me right now!"

"Is that so?" Gogeta commented, though even as he said that he dispelled the pillar that had formed around him and shifted his stance a little, taking on his battle stance once more, showing everyone that he was ready for them to resume their fight, while focusing his attention on his opponent, "Come on, let's continue our fight."

Kefla grinned, where she declared that he should 'disintegrate with the fighting stage' before bursting through the air as she headed towards the pillar that Gogeta was standing on, though the moment she reached her destination she threw her fist at Gogeta, who dodged the attack and let the ki blast head off into the distance. As Kefla landed behind Gogeta she turned around and gathered some more power into her right hand, intending to loose a powerful ki blast that would take her foe by surprise and turn the tide of the battle in her favor, but as she tried that Gogeta waved left his hand diagonally up towards the sky, where a small blue ki wall appeared in front of him. Kefla's attack struck the barrier, where many just assumed that they would both be destroyed in the process, but they were surprised to find that Gogeta's barrier actually reflected the ki blast into Kefla's face, as she barely had any time to move since she wasn't expecting that to happen in the first place. Thanks to the smoke that erupted from the attack Kefla was unable to see Gogeta for a moment, where her foe spun around in the air and kicked her in the side of her face, the attack disrupting the smoke in the process, before she was sent flying down into the floor, causing her to growl in annoyance as Gogeta landed some distance in front of her, and he had both of his hands facing away from his body, where he seemed to be charging a pair of ki blasts.

Instead of letting him hit her, and deal more damage to her, Kefla raised her hands and loosed a storm of ki blasts that rained down on the area that Gogeta was standing in, though what surprised her was that he charged right in her direction, causing the blasts to kick up more smoke between the two of them. Gogeta, once he was sure that Kefla's view of him was gone for the moment, jumped into the air and spun around, flipping over his opponent's head and noticed that she hadn't noticed his movements, before landing on the floor behind Kefla and focused on what he was going to do. Not even a second later he swung both of his arms and his ki blasts went flying towards his foe, who barely saw them coming as they exploded on contact, allowing him to gather his ki once more and loose a storm of ki blasts, like the one he used while Kefla was in the crater earlier, that raced towards his target and detonated when they struck something, kicking up more smoke in the process. As Kefla started to regain herself, however, Gogeta raised his right hand into the air for a moment and formed a rainbow colored energy orb above his hand, the Stardust Breaker as it was called, and hurled it right at his target, where it connected not a few seconds later and released a rainbow colored explosion that rocked the area that they were fighting in, and that included knocking Kefla backwards at the same time.

He knew that the Stardust Breaker was designed to work on those that were evil, or even those that were pure and had been consumed by something evil, but when used against someone like Kefla, who was fighting for her universe and not for something diabolical, it wasn't at the same level of power, though it did produce a nice explosion and did weaken his foe in the process, if the markings on her arms and legs were any indication.

Kefla growled in annoyance, either because she couldn't hit him or the fact that she had taken quite a bit of damage from the barrage of attacks, before she burst through the air once more and raced towards Gogeta, where the two of them exchanged a few blows, with Gogeta mostly dodging or parrying her attacks. Of course, when he knocked her away from him a few seconds later, Kefla charged her ki above her right hand and fired a large ki beam at her target, which was why Gogeta did something interesting, as he raced towards the beam and then flew around the energy in a spiral pattern, all while closing the distance between them. Kefla barely had time to consider another attack before Gogeta reached where she was standing, resulting in her getting punched in the face and knocked backwards a little more, but this time she braced herself and stopped moving backwards, where she raised her fist and swung at her target, causing Gogeta to swing his arm and parry the attack. The area around them buckled as their powers collided, not that Kefla cared about the state of the fighting stage at this point, and Gogeta went on the offensive as his aura wrapped around his body, as the next two attacks, which were strikes to Kefla's chest, were enough to push her backwards by a few steps, before the third punch to the chest stunned her. That attack was followed by Gogeta flipping backwards, while at the same time kicking her up into the air, where his energy seemed to freeze her in place for a moment as he stood straight up, only for him to cross his arms in front of his body, in the shape of an x, before separating his hands and raising them towards the sky... which resulted in a massive explosion rocking the area and consuming Kefla in the process, one that shocked a number of the gods as they watched the explosion unfold.

At that point he backed away and surveyed the damage of his attack, where he noticed that Kefla had taken a good bit of damage since she was at the center of the explosion, and she burst into the air, landing on top of a rock pillar while she glared at him with an annoyed look in her eyes.

"We always knew that Gogeta was powerful, but this is truly marvelous." Whis commented, as the last time this fusion warrior had been in a battle had been against Sunset, where the new God of Destruction dominated Gogeta, even with him using the Kaio-Ken on top of Blue, but that had given Goku and Vegeta reason to improve themselves, resulting in a much stronger version of Gogeta, "Though it seems we've reach the climax of their battle."

"Prepare yourself, Kefla, because my next attack will be the end of our battle." Gogeta stated, as he knew that his foe had to be getting tired, because taking all of those powerful attacks had to be tough on her body and her power, meaning that it was time for him to wrap up their fight.

"Dammit! Not yet! It's not over yet!" Kefla declared, where her aura burst into existence around her and her power started to swell once more, showing that she didn't like the thought of being defeated like this, before an idea seemed to come to mind as she glared down at Gogeta, "Fine, if this is how our fight is going to end, then I'm going to hit you with everything that I've got!"

As soon as Kefla said that her aura got larger and larger before it's coloration shifted into the red color that her ki blasts took on, while at the same time taking on the appearance of lasers that were being fired at everything, which was a true statement since some of them sliced right through a few rock walls like they were nothing. Many of the watchers were surprised by this development, a fight or flight response, while the Kings of All exclaimed that it was pretty and sparkly, though she tuned them out as she focused on her opponent, who was looking at her with a look of interest in his eyes, showing that he was interested in her newest power. A second later she loosed the first of many lasers at Gogeta, as she intended to hit him and do enough damage to knock him off the fighting stage, to which Gogeta responded by jumping around the area as he started to dodge the attacks that were coming his way, no doubt while he thought of a way to strike at her without being hit. Inspiration came to him as he backed up against a rock wall, one that Kefla sliced into four sections with three vertical lasers, where he jumped into the air and avoided the attack when it hit the floor, allowing him to rest against the rock wall for a moment as he brought his hands together by his right side, letting out a 'Ka' as he started to charge his energy.

Kefla, seeing him attempting to charge up an attack, swung her arm and loosed a few more beams at the wall that he was leaning on, slicing the rock into a number of falling cubes, which allowed Gogeta to flip onto the top of one of the cubes and then move to another one while adding in the 'me' of his attack. That prompted Kefla to increase her power output, causing the lasers to lash out in all directions as she focused on her foe, where Gogeta had to move from one cube to another to avoid being hit, and when he was all out of them he fell through the air and headed towards the floor, which only gave him time to add in the first 'ha' of his attack's name. The response to that was Kefla adding in smaller ki blasts that flew out in all directions, like she was trying to take everyone down with her, only for her foe to dodge her attacks like they were nothing, adding in the second 'me' in the process, which only annoyed her even more. As Gogeta got close to the rock pillar that she was standing on, however, Kefla stopped firing in all directions and focused her power on trying to take out Gogeta, forcing him to dodge the attacks once more before he reached the stones that were in front of her, and, as luck would have it, he was forced to jump into the air, without anywhere to land on.

"You can't dodge in mid-air!" Kefla declared, to which she turned off the lasers and the ki blasts, where she wrapped her ki around her hands and formed two spinning discs like she did earlier, though this time around they were made up of equal parts red ki and green ki, representing the warriors that went into making her, "I win!"

With that said Kefla loosed two large ki beams that raced towards where Gogeta was located, but as that happened Gogeta turned himself so that his body wasn't in the way of Kefla's attack and let his own attack glide over the surface of the two beams, though when he reached the top of the pillar, much to Kefla's shock, he leveled himself with her and loosed a powerful Kamehameha that slammed into her. The beam then smashed into the floor and broke part of the fighting stage in the process, knocking Kefla out of bounds while breaking the Potara Earrings she was wearing, resulting in Caulifla and Kale falling into the stands, much to Champa's shock and horror, since he had been hoping on the girls being able to knock someone from the fighting stage, instead of them losing their battle. As the Kamehameha disappeared into the void that rested around them, however, many of the other warriors started to head out, spacing themselves so they could continue their fights and the plans of their respective universe, all while Gogeta stood straight with a smile on his face, before he was engulfed in a bright light and defused, allowing Goku and Vegeta to separate from each other. To those that knew of the technique it was pretty obvious as to why they separated, as they fused in their base forms and didn't do it in their Super Saiyan Blue forms, meaning they cut the amount of time they had for their fusion by using their strongest transformation, but it worked out well for everyone.

"Dammit, Son Goku! Vegeta! I swear I'll wallop you two someday!" Caulifla declared, as she was staring down at the fighting stage, or more accurately the warriors that she and Kale had been fighting for the last couple of minutes, while her protegee was apologizing to Champa for being taken out of the tournament.

"And we look forward to seeing you try." Goku replied, though he had a smile on his face, because Caulifla on her own had been an exciting challenge and adding Kale to the mix had made it even better, especially when he and Vegeta fused to make Gogeta, and his face showed her that he was hoping to fight her again in the future, before he focused on the area around him, "So, what do we do next?"

"You two should rest and recover your energy," a voice said, to which Goku and Vegeta watched as Sombra touched down near them, which made them wonder what the strategist of Universe 13 had to tell them this time around, since both of their teams were following his plans to the best of their abilities, before he glanced in the direction that Chrysalis and Ribrianne were in, "Universe 13 will be taking over the majority of the fights from this point forward, so you and your team will be able to sit back and conserve your power for when it's us against Universe 11."

Goku and Vegeta nodded their heads as Sombra disappeared from the area they were in, using the speed that they were getting used to seeing, but at the same time this told them that Chrysalis was going to close the curtain on her fight with Universe 2, something that she had been working towards since the tournament started, and they were eager to see what she did in the next couple of minutes.
