Super Dragon Ball: Paradise Hysteria

The Power of Super King Kai's Fist!

Baby's unexpected attack forced Goku to transition into a defensive stance. The Saiyan took Baby's introductory jab with a cross-arm block, instantly feeling numbness passing down his body the moment the blow connected. That numbness soon turned to pain and then some uncomfortable cocktail of the two as Goku could visibly judge how much his defensives had lowered after just one blow.

The follow-up uppercut shook Goku to his core, nearly pulling the upper half of his body clean off the lower half and stunning the Saiyan with the unchained weight behind adult Baby's blows. With a sadistic cackle, enjoying his superiority, Baby grabbed Goku's face and dragged him by his whole head, smashing him into the ground before spinning around with a backhand to ground Goku further and make the floor underneath him collapse.

Enveloped in a purple aura, Baby Vegeta took off in a rush, blitzing and vanishing around the debris of the collapsed floor while flashes from the laser bolts of the Machine Mutants waging war on his friends lit up in the background. Goku leaned aside from the incoming blow and drove a fist into Baby's solar plexus, making even the adult Neo Tsufurian blank out in pain for a second.

That little opening was everything that Goku needed, by pushing his entire body behind the blow, he slammed a right step in uppercut into Baby Vegeta's chin before taking off with a spinning whirlwind kick that sent Baby Vegeta flying off. Goku burst with the radiance of his full-powered Super Saiyan and blasted off in pursuit of Baby Vegeta, betting on inflicting as much damage as possible and reducing the difference between his own and his opponent's Ki as much as possible during this momentous opening.

Goku didn't even see Baby Vegeta's arm move. The entire limb of the Neo Tsufurian vanished before driving into the back of Goku's head, nudging the Saiyan's belfry down and forcing his chin to tuck to his chest with a painful twinge to his neck muscles. A kick to Goku's gut bent the Super Saiyan over while a devastating uppercut sent Goku flying off and smashing through pipes, walls, and heavy machinery operating inside of the rebuilt Big Gete Star.

Just this brief exchange left Goku panting and bruised. It didn't take a genius to surmise the extent of how different the powers were here. Given his intensive training, Goku was certain he might have given a good fight to one of Baby Vegeta's forms, which one remained unclear, but it wasn't this adult one for sure. Giving himself the luxury, Goku's eyes wandered off to Gohan, Yamcha, Videl, and Giru who were being constantly terrorized by Machine Mutants. It was as if the entire Big Gete Star came alive and began rebuilding and sending new models back into the fray, merging the obsolete models into even larger and more powerful, more destructive, and better-armed automatons.

The sudden appearance of Baby Vegeta in front of him with a snap made Goku gasp before taking up a frantic defensive stance, but the Neo Tsufurian just cackled and crossed his arms. He was no master martial artist, but it didn't take one to realize that he was in control and could afford to play around with his food a bit.

"You're like a spitting image of that rebellious Saiyan on Earth. Another spawn of his?" Baby Vegeta wondered out loud.

"You're inside Vegeta's body, aren't you? Why don't you consult him?" Goku grumbled before forcing himself out of the hole in the wall he laid trapped in. The jagged wreckage ripped his orange gi into tatters, but Goku wiped the trace of blood off the corner of his lip instead before switching his fighting stance to a balanced one instead of a purely defensive one. If he were to defeat Baby and save his friends from the infinite army that the Big Gete Star was pumping out, defense wouldn't do. He needed to attack and win.

"Hmph... I've long since accepted that Saiyan's mind has nothing worthwhile to say. Even when I relied on it for combat assessment, the ego of that fool kept failing me and supplying me with faulty information!" Baby Vegeta sneered back at the Saiyan. "You, however... I can feel this body being very interested in. It's like my every nerve is lighting up at the same time, itching to punch you over and over again!"
