The arena was silent. Nothing but the empty void that surrounded the arena was all can be heard, but the silence was loud. Goku and 17 charged forward as I followed with Vegeta. Jiren effortlessly swung at Goku and grabbed 17, throwing him at Vegeta. I slid down under 17 and clashed with Jiren. My tail twitched like crazy as I managed to evade a few punches and blocked the rest.

Y/n: When will you realize that the wish is supposed to be made unselfishly! Whatever issues you have, it isn't something you should fix with a wish.

Jiren: You don't know anything!

Y/n: We can't let you win. I have a promise to keep. And it will come true.

Jiren: That female Saiyan? Forget it! You will join her to nonexistence! I will not lose everything to your universe!

Our battle shook the arena. Vegeta knew he was out of strength. Goku was nearing his limit since he could barely maintain Super Saiyan Blue. I kicked Jiren away, where 17 was waiting. 17 wraps himself around Jiren.

Jiren: You think you can hold me down?

17: No, but this should sting like a bitch.

17 closes the two of them in a green barrier. He releases a massive amount of ki inside the barrier, which exploded and blew 17 away. Jiren was standing, smoke coming out his back. His uniform was torn open on his back. Jiren seems to have taken severe damage. He kneels and pants. I walk over and aimed my hand at the ground, charging a blast to make him fall off the arena. Suddenly, Toppo started talking from the stands.

Toppo: Jiren! Get up!

17: What is this guy up to?

Toppo: Get up Jiren and win this! For us!

Jiren: Why. I have been going through this alone. I have treated you all terrible.

Toppo: You are Jiren the Gray! A member of the Pride Troopers! We look up to you. You are the strongest.

Y/n: Cute and all, but you guys done? Because—

My tail was trembling like crazy. I turned and saw Jiren standing up, before blasting me away with a heatwave of energy. I braced for impact and got pummeled by a barrage of attacks. I couldn't see them coming as I got bruised, falling down to the side. 17 was knocked out after Jiren charged forward, slamming the backside of his fist across 17's face.

Goku shot blasts at Jiren, only to be effortlessly ricocheting off his body. Goku was grabbed and then smacked down at the ground. Vegeta tiredly rushed to Jiren, who didn't break a sweat. Vegeta got pummeled and thrashed around by Jiren. Vegeta, breathing heavily as his eye got bruised up.

Vegeta: Of all times...to sort your issues out now...Damnit...

Jiren: Why do you persist? It's futile.

Y/n: Strength this. Power that. We Saiyans are stubborn. This whole tournament has shown me that a stubborn Saiyan is a proud Saiyan. To you, we maybe pests. But to a warrior race, we stand out.

Jiren: And your will to fight shall be shattered here and now!

Jiren kicks Vegeta off the arena. I grit my teeth and clench my fists as I stared back at Jiren. I wanted to win to save everyone. Will I...not be able to this time? My body was exhausted. My ears are ringing. I could hear my own heartbeat. Normally, this would be a workout after a long day. But standing before a bald alien as I am about to fail on keeping my promise is not any of those times. Soon, I felt my energy grow for a bit, noticing its Vegeta. Is energy was helpful, but I don't know if it's enough to beat Jiren alone. Goku is unresponsive and 17 is out cold. It's just me.
