[Namek – Clash of Super Saiyans]
Above the green skies of Namek, two warriors hovered in midair, their golden auras lighting up the heavens.
On one side stood Zeltron, his stance calm but overflowing with terrifying power.
Opposite him, Goku in his Super Saiyan form floated with a fierce smile on his face, the two warriors locked in an invisible battle of wills before their clash even began.
Far away, standing atop a rocky hill several kilometers from the battlefield, Dende, Gohan, Rapp, and Toss watched anxiously.
Their eyes followed every shift of energy in the sky.
"Who do you think will win? Lord Zeltron or that Saiyan?" Toss finally asked, breaking the heavy silence. The battlefield's oppressive aura pressed down even from this distance, making his voice slightly shaky.
"Of course it's Lord Zeltron!" Rapp answered with certainty, puffing his chest out.
"My Dad will win!" Gohan declared proudly at the same time.
The two glared at each other, both unwilling to back down.
"Boy, didn't you see it just now?" Rapp scolded, his tone almost like that of a teacher.
"Lord Zeltron defeated even Frieza with ease. Do you really think your father stands a chance against him?"
"But my dad could've beaten Frieza too!" Gohan shot back, unwilling to let anyone belittle his father's strength.
Their argument was cut short as the two figures in the sky finally moved.
"Transform yourself into Super Saiyan." Goku shouted, his eyes narrowing as he measured Zeltron's power.
Even with his overwhelming aura, Goku knew — in his normal state, Zeltron wouldn't stand a chance against his Super Saiyan Form.
"Just what I was waiting for," Zeltron replied calmly, his voice carrying a weight of absolute confidence.
With a deep breath, Zeltron's body exploded with light.
"HAAAAAAA."
With a scream , His black hair instantly shifted into radiant gold, each strand glowing like threads of fire.
'I always wanted to transform into Super Saiyan while screaming.'
'A dream come true. Thanks System.'
[Ding! No Problem Host!]
[Rest Assured. System's always here to power you up!]
His aura burned brighter and brighter until it seemed the very sky trembled.
The watchers below were stunned.
They could feel it — Zeltron's ki had multiplied several times over in an instant.
"That's… Super Saiyan again." Gohan gasped, clenching his fists tightly, pride swelling in his chest as if he had transformed himself.
"I thought it was a one-time skill!."
Goku only grew more excited, the corner of his mouth curling upward. "Bring it on!"
With a roar, his own body erupted in golden flames, the familiar power of Super Saiyan consuming him completely.
Dende's eyes widened with awe. "Goku… he's the same as Zeltron now!"
"This must be the legendary transformation Vegeta spoke of!" Dende whispered, his small face filled with amazement.
The battle began in an instant.
Goku vanished.
To the untrained eye, he simply disappeared, leaving only the aftershock of his movement.
But in the next heartbeat, his fist met Zeltron's in midair.
BOOM!
The collision echoed like thunder across Namek.
Sparks of golden energy danced violently in the air, crackling and flashing as if the heavens themselves were being torn apart.
Goku followed up immediately, spinning with a whip-like kick aimed at Zeltron's head. But to Zeltron, his movements were sluggish.
Calmly, he raised an arm and blocked.
"So… now it's my turn," Zeltron said, his tone icy.
In one smooth motion, he caught Goku's leg, yanked him forward, and slammed his fist into the Saiyan's chest.
BANG!
The attack was so fast that the onlookers couldn't even follow.
All they saw was Goku's body sent hurtling backward, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Yet instead of despair, Goku's eyes lit up with exhilaration. He wiped the blood away, grinning. "Yes… this is the kind of fight I live for!"
Golden energy surged around him, halting his backward flight in an instant.
"Oh? You really are enjoying this," Zeltron remarked, interest flickering in his expression.
Without hesitation, he dashed forward, fists blazing.
The two clashed again, their blows shaking the heavens. Fist met fist, elbow met knee, the air itself trembling under their relentless exchange.
The sky resounded with endless impacts:
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zeltron landed a heavy punch, but Goku's body dissolved into thin air.
"An afterimage?!" Zeltron muttered.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Afterimage Fist attribute. ][ Does the host wish to absorb the Afterimage Fist attribute? ]
"Absorb!" Zeltron commanded without hesitation.
The energy instantly fused into his body, his skill set expanding even in the middle of battle.
In that moment, Goku appeared behind him, launching a fierce kick. His foot struck Zeltron's body — but passed straight through it.
"What?!" Goku's eyes widened.
"An afterimage?!"
He quickly leapt back, scanning the skies warily.
"It's here!"
His fist shot upward, colliding with Zeltron's real body that appeared out of nowhere.
The two blows shook the heavens again.
"It's incredible," Goku laughed breathlessly.
"You even picked up my Afterimage skill mid-fight!"
Zeltron only smiled faintly, not wasting words. His golden aura flared brighter as he pressed the assault, fists and ki exploding across the Namekian sky.
The true battle of Super Saiyans had only just begun.
