Dragon Ball and Fairy Tail: Wrath of the Reaper

Chapter 30: Goku's Comeback

Shiripa was trembling ever so slightly. Goku's eyes seemed to be staring straight into her soul.

He was barely able to tap into it when he fought Jiren. But this shouldn't be a problem. I've sparred with Marcarita thousands of times. But to be sure. Shiripa laughed to herself. "Of all the things that could have threatened to stop my revolution, this wasn't on the list. You deserve applause Goku. Which makes me wonder; why are we fighting. You could help with my revolution."

"Revolution, the heck you talking about!" Natsu asked.

"Hm, I thought one of my followers would have let it slip. I plan on overthrowing the Kais, the Destroyers, and Zen-Oh himself. They have neglected our universes; letting chaotic beings like Majin Buu wreak havoc. The Kais only stepped in then because they were in danger," Shiripa said with as much bravado as she could. Goku didn't say anything.

"So why did you come here and start killing people?!" Gohan shouted.

"A necessary sacrifice to make me strong enough to ac-" Goku punched Shiripa away.

"You've caused enough damage. I'm taking you down." Shiripa wiped the blood from her cheek.

"Fine then no deal!" Shiripa charged Goku. She threw as many attacks at him as possible. Hundreds, thousands per second. Goku just dodged every attack without moving from his spot. Goku leaned under one of her kicks and uppercutted her into the air. Goku flew up, fast enough where he seemed to have used Instant Transmission, and smacked her back down. Moving just as fast he appeared on the ground and roundhouse kicked Shiripa deep into the forest.

"Go, now!" Goku said as he dashed into the woods.

"Come on Natsu, let's get back to the others," Gohan said as he hoisted Natsu up.

Alssa slapped Kohga and knocked her head against the ground. She snapped awake and grabbed Alssa's face.

"Bastard!" She flipped her over and slammed her into the ground.

"Never, do, that," Kohga growled.

"That's enough. We can't right now. Tunder is already dead and the Master is struggling with Goku," Bass said. A large purple explosion bloomed in the nearby forest.

"Let's get to the lab, I have an idea," Alssa said. Within the tree, Alssa immediately began work in the lab.

"I didn't know we had this," Iga said

"Well, you're not as good with science as I am. Ino read me that power gauge," Alssa said. "It says, uh, 597.285mp!" Iga said.

Just enough. Allsa started to grab ingredients.

"What are we even doing?" Treble asked.

"Master can't hold out against Ultra Instinct, no one can. However, Natsu showed me that when a Dragon Slayer consumes a potent source of energy they enter a more powerful transformation. So, we're going to make another Stone Dragon Lacrima for her,"

Cana tied off Videl's makeshift bandage.

"Thanks," She said.

"No problem," Cana said; ripping off another strip from her pants to patch her own arm.

"Videl!" Gohan, Wendy, and Natsu landed, tripped, and face planted nearby. Gohan stood back up and hugged Videl.

"I'm so glad you're safe," He said as a tear rolled down his cheek. Videl smiled and wiped the tear away.

"Wait, where's Goku?" She asked. A silvery blue streak blasted through the Saihonai Tree. With an otherworldly roar, the aura intensified and sent a figure flying away. A second figure leaped back and landed in front of them.

"He's right here," Natsu moaned.

"Get away from here!" Goku shouted. Shiripa burst out of the ground in front of him. He blocked her punch with his arm. "Run!" Goku shouted again as he kicked Shiripa back. Lucy grabbed Natsu as everyone retreated back towards the town.

"Goku," He turned, letting her peer into his silver eyes. "Kick her ass!" Lucy said firmly. Goku smiled and raced after Shiripa.

Erza, Gohan and the others took cover behind a ledge and watched the fight.

"What's with Goku?" Gray asked.

"He's tapped into Ultra Instinct again," Gohan said.

"Which is what exactly?"

"A state of mind where one can move and fight without thinking; maximizing one's speed and strength," Vegeta said.

"That's incredible," Erza said.

"He doesn't have much time though. He was only able to hold on to the form for a few minutes before the stress completely incapacitated him," Gohan explained.

Shiripa and Goku continued to exchange blows. Despite everything she tried, Goku evaded all of Shiripa's attacks. The two locked hands and clashed their knees. Shiripa made a ki blast in her hand and forced Goku back. Shiripa screamed and powered up, her purple aura shooting high into the sky.

"Now then Goku we're both at 100%."

She's at least as strong as Jiren, Goku thought. In an instant Shiripa tackled Goku and the two started to fight again. "Rot in hell Saiyan!" Shiripa outstretched her arm and released a massive ki blast right into Goku's chest. The blast carried Goku away and into a cliffside. She flexed her hand and a slab of rock knocked Goku to the ground a few hundred meters from the others. Shiripa formed a massive ki blast and threw it at Goku.

"Father!" Gohan shouted. Shiripa skidded to a halt near him.

"Come on Goku, that the best you've got?" A figure landed near her and bounced down a hill. What the hell? Shiripa thought.

"Dreadfully sorry about that landing Mr. Goku, had to rush in there," A voice said. Lucy stuck her head above the ledge.

"Wait, is that," Her question was answered as Horologium walked over the hill.

"I detected that Mr. Goku was in danger so I stepped in to help," Horologium explained. "'Can you let me out to fight?' He asks impatiently," Horologium translated. "And yes I will," He opened his door and Goku launched himself at Shiripa; drilling his fist into her gut. The two shot up and resumed combat. Bolts of energy shot out and carved massive gashes wherever they touched.

"They're equals," Erza said.

"No, Goku is slightly stronger. She may be as strong as Jiren was but Goku has improved since then," Gohan explained.

"Goku was also in good health," Horologium said as he slid in next to them.

"Then we've got this," Lucy said.
