And finally, this project comes to a close! Thanks for all your likes and support, and I'll post a little bonus chapter at a future date hopefully. Something with a bit of action between two fighters in my story who never traded blows.

Vegetto

The bright glow fades and Vegetto glares at Jiren confidently. Jiren folds his arms "So-" Vegetto holds up a hand "Before I begin, allow me to introduce myself. I am the fusion of Kakarot and Vegeta, so you can call me Vegetto. And this..." Vegetto clenches his fists and turns Super Saiyan Blue "Is Vegetto Blue!" He grins "Now Jiren, there's only 2 minutes left in the tournament. That gives me a minute and a half to beat you, and then at least 30 seconds to celebrate." Jiren releases so much of his power the heat could be felt in the stands "That won't be happening." Vegetto smirks "I can sense a decent level of power from you. Good, otherwise this would be boring."

Their fists connect and the entire arena shakes, the shockwave clearing away rubble for several yards. Vegetto dodges Jiren's punches, appearing behind Jiren. Jiren spins around to punch him and Vegetto kicks Jiren in the jaw, arms folded as he lands kick after kick to Jiren's torso. He dropkicks Jiren away from him, ki forming on his fist and he vanishes. Jiren land son his feet and slides to a stop, raising his hand to stop Vegetto's downward punch. The ground under Jiren gives out from the strain and that whole quarter of the arena breaks away. Jiren and Vegetto leap to and from broken pieces of the arena, trading blows and destroying the remains of the arena in the process. Jiren catches Vegetto's high kick, swinging him overhead and throwing him into a floating hunk of the arena. Jiren forms his Power Impact and throws it towards Vegetto, who uses his ki to destroy the portion of the arena he was stuck to. The blast hits him in the chest and sends him flying. Jiren turns his back to Vegetto "It's over."

The explosion brings everyone to their feet as they wait to see Vegetto emerge from the smoke. He appears behind Jiren, tapping him on the shoulder "That's a good attack, but it doesn't work on me." Jiren goes for a back elbow and Vegetto dodges to the side, spin kicking Jiren in the gut hard enough to leave him doubled over. Vegetto backflips away and he motions with one hand casually "Come on then, we don't have much time, and I'm starting to get bored." Jiren charges towards Vegetto and he vanishes, Jiren's fist passing through him harmlessly. Vegetto kicks Jiren in the back, driving him into the ground. Vegetto thrusts his hands forward "I think the boys have the right idea. How about a Big bang-" He forms a small orb of ki that is surrounded by several ki rings "Kamehameha!" Jiren stares at the massive ki wave, covering his face as it consumes him and the ground under him. Jiren is sent soaring and lands on a floating piece of the arena, tearing off the tattered remains of his top.

Jiren dashes towards Vegetto with so much force the floating piece of the arena he was on is obliterated under his feet, his red aura pulsing wildly. They exchange shots all over the arena, large cracks forming in the arena all the way to the underside. Vegetto dodges strike after strike, countering with several of his own that Jiren deflects or dodges. Jiren hits Vegetto in the chest with a ki blast and it encases Vegetto in a orb of ki that racks his body with pain. He cries out in anguish, then smirks "Can I act or what?" He breaks out, high kicking Jiren in the head and sending him sliding to a stop near the edge. Vegetto grins "Time for the big finish! Final-" He brings his hands in front of himself then his hands drop to his sides "Kamehameha!" Jiren goes wide eyed and holds out his hands to stop the massive ki wave. His aura flares and he looks down to see the ground cracking under him.

Jiren roars and fires ki from his hand to push back the Final Kamehameha, much to Vegetto's surprise. Vegetto could feel the overbearing strength deep inside Jiren welling to the surface, and he leaps out of the way of his returned attack just in time to avoid it. Jiren appears above Vegetto, punching him into the ground. Vegetto hits the ground so hard he bounces, and Jiren is on him, slugging him in the gut with all his strength. Vegetto coughs up blood and flies into the side of the arena as the part they were standing on sinks into the void. Jiren leaps onto the arena and Vegetto appears behind him, hand rapped in ki as he prepares for a finishing blow. Jiren elbows Vegetto in the chest, then turns around and assaults him with a flurry of punches and kicks before sending him flying into the center pillar with a ki laced right hook.

Broly, seeing Vegetto in peril, rushes Jiren and Jiren dodges all of his punches easily, even in Broly's Max Power state. Broly forms a orb of ki on his chest, blasting Jiren with it and Jiren reaches through the smoke, grabbing Broly by the face and throwing him aside. Broly's face skids across the ground and Jiren forms an orb of ki, firing it at Broly's exposed back. Broly rolls onto his back quickly, forming a ki barrier to hold the attack at bay. He uses the barrier to redirect the blast, rolling back onto his feet. He roars in rage and charges Jiren, who dodges his right hook and lands a hard blow to Broly's exposed gut "What's wrong?!" Broly backs away from him, clutching his stomach, before retaliating with a right hook that Jiren catches "You are a fool to fight me with that level of power!" Broly smirks "Maybe. But I can't let you eliminate those two idiots. They're our last hope, and I'm trusting them to end this!" Jiren smirks "Trust? There is your first mistake." Jiren's hand glows and he sends Broly flying back with a point blank ki wave that sends him over the side of the arena. Broly lands on the large chunk that had broken away due to Jiren and Vegetto's beam struggle, which stayed suspended a few feet below.

Jiren turns back to Vegetto "Now, time to finish you off." Vegetto stumbles towards Jiren, in his base form and shaky on his feet. Jiren charges towards him and Vegetto dodges him at the last second. Jiren goes wide eyed and their eyes meet, black eyes meeting silver eyes. Jiren attacks Vegetto with frantic fury and Vegetto dodges all of his attacks, uppercutting Jiren in the jaw. Arms folded, Vegetto lands kick after kick to Jiren's torso, switching to punches and driving him back further. Jiren dodges a right hook and goes to counter with a knee and Vegetto front flips over his knee strike, thrusting his hand right into Jiren's face from his position upside down and in the air "Big Bang Attack!" Vegetto lands on his feet and Jiren blows away the smoke with his energy, his body worse for wear but this only serves to intensify his rage and allow him to draw on even more of his colossal depth of power.

Vegetto smirks and they exchange blows, Vegetto managing to hit Jiren with a thrust kick to his jaw. Jiren catches Vegetto's followup kick to the gut, pulling him into a gut punch. Vegetto pushes off of Jiren's arm, leaning all the way back onto his hand to avoid Jiren's followup blast. Vegetto dropkicks Jiren in the chest, sending him sliding back. Vegetto rolls backwards onto his feet and Jiren raises both hands in the air, forming a massive ki sphere. Jiren throws the ki sphere at Vegetto, who holds his hands out to stop it. Vegetto's powerful roar shakes the arena and silver cracks form in the massive sphere of ki. As the sphere harmlessly breaks apart into sparks of ki Jiren charges through the residual energy, his full power punch hitting Vegetto's guard and sending him sliding backwards. Jiren dashes towards Vegetto, intent on finishing the job, and Vegetto roars, an explosion of ki causing both of them to be shrouded in dust.

When the smoke clears Jiren is standing in front of Vegetto, blood trickling from his mouth to his chin. Vegetto's eyes roll back and he coughs up blood. Vegetto's Spirit Sword has punctured through Jiren's abdomen, meanwhile Jiren had landed a full power blow to Vegetto's gut. Vegetto smirks as Jiren leans against him "Don't worry, I didn't hit anything important." Jiren stumbles back from Vegetto, and Vegetto's ki blade dissipates "What's wrong? Had enough?" Jiren growls "This wound is nothing. It won't stop me." Vegetto smirks "It's not supposed to. That's only meant to slow you down." Jiren sways a little on his feet, as does Vegetto "For all your bravado, your in as bad of shape as I am." Vegetto holds an arm around his torso "That may be true, but unlike you I'm actually fighting for something!"

Jiren looks up into the stands "Them?" Vegetto nods "They entrusted to me this fight. They made sacrifices to ensure I will be the one to defeat you and win." Jiren growls "Such faith is misplaced! Such things are easily shattered and destroyed! Observe!" He forms a ki blast and fires it towards the stands. The other fighters of Universe 7 watch in horror as the blast flies towards them, until Vegetto appears in front of it and slaps it aside. He glares at Jiren, landing on a chunk of the arena "You shouldn't have done that! NOW I'M PISSED OFF!" His hair turns white and his aura blinds the arena, causing even Jiren to advert his eyes. Vegetto slides to a stop behind Jiren, Jiren registering several hits at once. Jiren forces himself to remain on his feet, turning to punch Vegetto in the face. Vegetto takes the punch to the face, blowing Jiren back with just his energy "Final Kamehameha!" Vegetto brings his hands back and as he thrusts his hands forward his fusion earrings shatter and they break apart, collapsing to the ground with their energy spent.

Vegeta gasps for air "Kakarot, I can't begin to tell you how much I hate fusion..." Goku chuckles "That couldn't of been timed worse..." Goku forces himself to his feet and Jiren walks towards him slowly "Is that it?" Goku chuckles in his exhaustion induced delerium "Afraid so." Jiren nods "Then sleep, warrior." He forms a blast in Goku's face and Goku smiles "I'm not ready to stop yet." Goku dodges to the side and Vegeta lands an uppercut to Jiren, Goku and Veget attacking him in their base form. Goten leaps to his feet "Go dad!" Trunks jumps to his feet as well "Keep pushing dad! You can do this!" Jiren dodges their strikes, looking over at the pillar and releasing very little time is left. He blocks both their punches, assaulting them with a barrage of punches that sends them both over the edge. They hang onto the edge but Jiren walks over non-chalontly, lifting both of them by their arm. They blast him in the face and Jiren responds by slamming them together, before throwing them over the edge. Goku and Vegeta thrust their hands forward, sending out the last of their ki before plummeting into the void.

Broly tries to cling to consciousness as the battle raged on. His mind drifts off slowly and he finds himself on his hands and knees, bound in white chains. A familiar voice causes him to strain against the chains "What's holding you back?" He strains to move, looking for the source of the voice in the dark void surrounding him "Serenity?" She walks out into the open "You're failing our universe, but most of all, you're failing yourself. Why are you holding back? You know you have the power to finish this." Broly strains against the chains, his muscles bulking, and he barely manages to make it to his feet. Serenity stares him in the eye "When will you realize that this is your true calling? When will you stop letting your feelings stand between you and your destiny?"

Broly snarls "This last form is the point of no return. Each time I've unlocked a new form, I've become more like true self, caring only for destruction and carnage. Once I go there, there will be no turning back, and I would not return home. Once I achieve that level, the only place for me will be the seat of a God of Destruction." Serenity nods "You are afraid of your destructive potential, and what tapping into it fully will do to your mindset. After this, you would never be able to live a normal life. You will have to give up the life you know, or the craving for destruction will consume you and you will be a danger to those around you. Only an Angel would be able to train you to control these urges and manage this power." Broly tilts his head back "Do I have a choice?" Serenity shakes her head "You know that answer to that." Broly nods and he feels Goku and Vegeta's energy breath new life into him.

Broly forces himself to stand and he feels the mental chains begin to strain and break from his rising power. He bellows with rage, his white aura expanding tenfold. Streaks of purple appear in the white and begin to consume it, his aura turning purple. His swelling aura begins to condense back down in size as he lets off pulses of ki. When his power levels out, he stands on the remains of that chunk of arena, destruction energy forming a barrier around his body. There is purple markings on his torso, a giant purple x that loops around his shoulders and form another x on his back, with a purple circle right over his heart in the center of his chest. His hair is black and it flows and when he blinks his eyes return to their usual blank white. Goku and Vegeta, who have landed on their universe platform and have made it to their feet, watch in awe. Goku laughs "I didn't give him that much energy." Vegeta smirks "No, it seems like this is a little ace in the hole Broly has been suppressing."

Broly appears in front of Jiren and walks slowly towards him. Jiren dashes towards Broly and connects with a hard right but Broly catches it, his destructive energy burning Jiren's hand and he forces Jiren to his knees. Broly wrenches Jiren to his feet and knees him in the gut. Jiren drops to his knees, both hands wrapped around his torso. Broly forms a sphere of destruction energy and Goku frowns "You don't think Broly would kill Jiren, do you?" Jiren looks up at Broly "End it." Toppo leaps to his feet "Jiren! You would kneel before the enemy. Do you want it to end this way?! Where is all of that strength of yours?! Where is your pride?! Everything you have worked for, just to fall here? You are the strongest! I've believed that for as long as I've known you! Show them your strength!" Broly growls "It's too late for speeches!"

Jiren forces himself to stand "Silence!" Jiren hits Broly with a powerful right, and Broly takes the punch, retaliating with a left hook. They both hit each other with a body shot, and then they connect blows several times, the ground caving under them. They lock hands and push against each other, neither gaining any ground, and lightning arcs around the two fighters as their power skyrockets and they headbutt each other. They exchange blows, both absorbing blows from the other and not bothering to defend themselves as the fast paced tournament draws on the last minute. This slug fest carries on for what felt like minutes, with both fighters battered and bruised. Jiren fires a ki wave point blank at Broly and when the smoke clears he sends Jiren flying back with a straight punch to the chest.

Broly launches himself in the air towards the massive ball of light, landing on it and looking down at the arena. His aura transfers to his right hand and lightning arcs around his hand, his ki focusing into his index and middle finger. He hesitates, his eyes scanning the arena. A blast flies right towards him and he leaps off his temporary platform, the blast narrowly missing the massive orb of energy. Broly thrusts his fingers forward "Universal Devastation!" He fires a small ki blast at the arena and it punctures right through the rock like a hot knife through butter. Whis raises his staff to form a barrier in front of the viewer platform, and Grand Priest moves to shield Zeno as the blast detonates, emitting so much force that a vast majority of the remains of the arena are completely annihilated, a bright flash filling the void for miles.

Whis frowns when a small crack appears in his barrier, but with the blast subsiding he allows his barrier to fade, just in time for Jiren to land on his platform in a heap. A few seconds later Broly lands on his platform, his power having subsided but his appearance remaining the same. Everyone turns to the Grand Priest "Jiren and Broly have dropped out of the arena. All members of Universe 11 have dropped out, so Universe 11 will be erased!" Belmond leaps to his feet "But... all the members of Universe 7 have been eliminated as well!" Broly forces himself to sit up "Not all of them." Floating on a lone rock, in the middle of the dust and ruin as a result of Broly's attack, is Android 18. Broly smirks "Before I fired my attack I searched the arena for her, and I created a barrier to protect her and a sizable piece of the arena under her, so that we would have at least one remaining member." Beerus grins "Brilliant!" Krillin sighs "For a minute I thought you killed her."

Toppo holds Jiren in his hand "Jiren, thank you." Jiren opens his eyes slowly "Why? I treated you with contempt." Goku stumbles over "Jiren. I know we just got done fighting, but I'm not done fighting you yet. We both helped each other get stronger, and I hope I'll get the opportunity to face you again." Jiren smirks as he is erased with his universe. 18 makes it to her feet shakily, turning in time to see the scene play out before her. She jumps a little when the Grand Priest floats down behind her and speaks "Number 18. You are the last fighter for your universe. So, you will be allowed one wish on the Super Dragonballs. Have you decided on your wish?" The Super Dragonballs appear out of mid-air, and Grand Priest summons the Dragon God. 18 looks up at Goku and smiles "I think the choice is obvious. I wish back the universes that were erased." Zeno stares at 18 "Are you sure?" Future Zeno chimes in "Really sure?" 18 nods her head and Grand Priest relays her wish to the dragon.

Goku leaps over to 18 "I'm so happy you brought everyone back. I promised Jiren a rematch." 18 smiles "Figures. I'm ready to go home." Zeno and his future counterpart float over. Zeno throws his arms up "Goku that was so much fun!" His Future self mimics him "Super fun!" Zeno floats closer "Will we see you again?" Goku chuckles "You bet!" They all three fist bump. Broly watches the scene in front of him, leaping down onto the arena and walking towards Zeno. The guards appear in front of Zeno and Broly drops to one knee "I wish to become a God of Destruction." Both Zeno look at each other "Hmm..." One smiles "You can defeat another God of Destruction to become one." The other Zeno nods "Yeah, that would be fun to watch." Broly nods "Which one?" Both Zeno look at each other and say in unison "Sidra!" Broly frowns "I would rather be the God of Destruction of Universe 6, not that mess." Zeno smiles "Well, if that's the case, you can still face Sidra for it, we'll just send Champa to Universe 9 to take his place." The other Zeno nods enthusiastically "Yeah he's the worst at his job, he needs to go."

Back in their universe Goten and Trunks continued to train. Months after the tournament, Hope reappeared on Earth via a Time Machine, going to Goku's house and recruiting Goten into the Time Patrol, on the orders of the Supreme Kai of Time. Trunks asked if he could join as well, but was assured he was needed on Earth and his future self would be there to fight alongside Goten. Piccolo and Gohan continued to train together in earnest, allowing both to grow and develop past their limits. 18 used the money that Bulma gave her for participating to take her family on a trip, where she went to visit her brother 17, and brother and sister were reunited for the first time in years. Goku and Vegeta continued to train together. Vegeta and Goku both returned to their families, finding every opportunity to spar together, despite the protests of their wives. Cell was granted a stay in heaven, where like Dabura, the positive nature of Heaven twisted his mindset, and he became a much more kind hearted being. And as for Broly...

Broly knocks Sidra back with a right hook, chasing after him and grabbing him by the face, slamming him into the ground and dragging him across it. Sidra struggles in Broly's grasp, already battered and bruised from their fist. Both Zeno, Mojito and the Grand Priest watch in interest as Broly forms a ki blast on his chest, blasting Sidra back from him. Sidra lands on his feet, firing a Sphere of Destruction at Broly. Broly catches the sphere and crushes it between his hands, opening his hands to form his own. He fires it at Sidra, who forms a barrier to protect himself. Broly laughs "A barrier?! You're only delaying the inevitable!" Sidra manages to leap clear of Broly's Sphere of Destruction, only for Broly to close the distance and clothesline him through an arena pillar. Broly throws Sidra into the arena and thrusts forward his hand Hakai!" Broly's Hakai disintegrates Sidra along with the arena he is standing on. Broly breathes heavy, then lets out a chuckles "Looks like I overdid it."

Vegeta and Goku exchange blows. Vegeta chuckles as he dodges Goku's punch, landing a quick left and right jab "Come on Kakarot, where is your Ultra Instinct?" Goku goes for a high kick, which Vegeta dodges, but he isn't able to dodge Goku's followup heel kick "Right back at you Vegeta!" Vegeta smiles "Perhaps we will never see which one of us is stronger in Ultra Instinct. But I think we both know the answer." Goku smirks "Yeah, me!" Vegeta chuckles "In your dreams!" Goku leaps back from Vegeta, landing on a bluff "We will continue to get stronger, no matter what!" Vegeta land son one opposite, and they both get in their fighting stance "Of course we will. A Saiyan's strength has no limits!"
