Within the red light Goku's muscled frame slowly shed some of his impressive muscle mass leaving behind a lean but defined body frame. His hair stayed in the same style but gained a shimmering deep crimson tint to it. His onyx eyes were now a penetrating ruby, intense as the surface of the sun itself. With a final scream and another blinding light to accompany it, the transformation was completed. The resulting explosion of light and energy caused all nearby villains to be pushed backwards slightly.
The saiyan looked down at his hands balling them into fists a few times to test out the new power "This is certainly new."he stated, thinking out loud to himself, "I feel lighter and faster, yet I feel stronger."He pulled himself into the air to levitate above the floor, before throwing a few practice punches and kicks that were blurs to the naked eye whilst getting used to the new power. Once satisfied he touched down on the floor once more to face the villains.
"So, who's first?" taunted Goku, an uncharacteristic cocky smirk on his features.
Ultraman snarled as he turned to face his female companion "You said you got some of his memories. Care to tell us all what the hell this is?"
"H-how did you know?" Superwoman struggled not to stutter, her breath hitching slightly as she struggled to keep her shock under wraps. Ultraman pointed to his ears, eyeing her intensely whilst awaiting her answer "I didn't see much, this form or transformation was not in his memories."
Ultraman simply sneered at the warning "He's wasted enough time living. Time to die!" He stated, launching of the ground with a lot of force and steaking towards Goku. Glancing to his left was enough to see a yellow blur speed past him. He smirked at the idea of their opponent getting distracted by Johnny, allowing him to land a hit.
Goku watched as Ultraman and Johnny Quick came rushing at him. Although a blur to the rest, Johnny was fully visible to Goku, as he circled him. Deciding to not waste time he landed a well-timed but immensely powerful kick to Johnny's midsection which nearly broke him in half. "Gah!" gagged the speedster, all the air in his lungs being forced out as he hunched up over Goku's outstretched leg before coughing up blood, staining the floor crimson. A swift roundhouse kick to the cheek connected with a resounding *CLAP* throwing the yellow adorning villain into an unassisted flight. Falling unconscious mid-air, his lean body rolled and tumbled over the floor before crumbling to a stop.
Sensing an oncoming projectile from behind, Goku phased out of danger with his sheer speed just as a glowing green fist came ploughing through his afterimage. Glancing behind he noticed Power Ring charging green energy in what appeared to be a ring, however he never got chance as Goku phased once more but this time reappeared behind him.
Power Ring momentarily stopped charging his attack, his eyes darting left and right to locate his foe. However, he felt was sharp prick at the nape before everything went black. The green clad villain fell to the ground, body crumbling into a heap.
Goku landed lightly on the floor before moving to dodge a sloppy right hook by Ultraman. A flurry of punches and kicks quickly followed which he dodged easily once again. Ultraman was fast he would give him that, but he was not fast enough to dodge a knee he directed into his stomach after dodging another sloppy punch.
An uppercut followed suite, connecting and dealing devastating damage. The blue clad villain's body fell backwards, an arch of blood trailing in his wake. Goku followed up with a spinning heel kick to the midsection, a thunder like clap resounding around the room before the villain's body went shooting towards the wall, before falling short, tumbling across the ground and sliding to a standstill.
Ultraman stood shakily to his feet, wiping a trail of blood leaking from a busted lip. He looked worse for wear, with his right eye shut tight to combat the blood leaking from a cut above it. He was cradling his ribs, a clear indication that some were broken or bruised, and to top it all he was breathing heavily, growling deeply in his throat.
He eyed Owlman momentarily, giving him a nod to initiate the backup plan. Ultraman roared, launching himself back into the one-sided battle. Owlman prepared to leave and initiate the plan into action, but he glanced at Superwoman who stood at the same spot she had been at the start of the battle. "Why aren't you helping Ultraman? With the both of you fighting you can defeat him easily."
She turned to him, sighing in exasperation "There is something not right about this, usually it's a yellow glow not red."
Thomas however looked at her in the same serious expression he kept all the time "It matters not, we must at least try. I will call for backup whilst I am collecting the kryptonite. Can you distract him whilst I get it done?"
She sneered, not one to take to orders from those she deemed of lesser standing "Whatever."
Pain filled screams brought their attention back to the battle were a heavily bruised and outmatched Ultraman was getting brutally beat down. Goku was flowing through a relentless combo of heavy punches and palm strikes that elicited cries or grunts of pain from the villain. He looked ready to collapse from his injuries and exhaustion, the relentless assault not giving him space to catch his bearings. "There's your chance to change the outcome of the battle."suggested Owlman, his gaze unfaltering.
Superwoman breathed deeply, prepping herself while remaining unsure of the outcome of the battle she was about to jump into, if Ultraman was of no match. Shaking her head to rid such thoughts, she launched towards Goku. Her plan was simple, catch him of guard with a powerful punch that would separate the duelling males, giving Ultraman needed space to recover. However, her fist passed through a ghostly manifestation of Goku, causing her eyes to widen as she slowed to a halt in the middle of the makeshift arena. Her eyes darted quickly as they looked around, scanning her surroundings for any sign of him "Where is he?" she questioned.
There was a disturbance in the air behind her, causing her to whirl quickly on the spot, her fist ready to strike but was shocked when it was deflected easily to the side. It passed harmlessly over her adversaries shoulder before her head snapped to the side, cheek throbbing with fresh pain "Wha..." she began, only for her words to die down in her throat as a fist was rammed deep into her sternum. She gagged, bile and saliva threatening to spill. Crumbling to the floor, she breathed deeply as waves of pain washed over her abdominal area. She attempted to rise once more, swaying to her feet unsteadily before regaining her balance.
Goku stood before her, hands down by his side, ruby eyes glowing within his flaming aura "Give it up Mary, I don't want to hurt you any further." A brief silence fell between the duo, with Mary's laboured breathing breaking it every so often. "You're outclassed, I am stronger than you." warned Goku, hopping to get through to her.
Superwoman chuckled lightly, a sick smirk gracing her features before getting hidden momentarily behind a hand that had been raised to wipe away the saliva on the corner of her lips "No can do, handsome." She responded, while rising to her full height. The pain in her cheek and stomach was starting to fade, becoming a mere nuisance at the back of her head.
