Blocking a kick from Caulifla, I pushed her away before punching her in the face and when I did I could feel her nose break on impact while blood spewed out, causing my hand to get blood on it, yet when I looked at Caulifla I could see that her face had a big grin on it.
Sage-'She reminds me of mother.'
Sage-"Did you know there are still 2 more levels beyond a Super Saiyan?"
Caulifla-"There are!? Then how do I achieve such transformation!?"
Smirking at her eager response, I tilt my head to the side and dodge a punch that berserk Kale threw at me before backhanding her, sending her flying back to where she came from, though right after I did that I saw Caulifla click her tongue in annoyance.
Sage-"Did you really think such a cheap trick would work on me? And for your information I don't know, I've only recently just mastered my first form, and haven't even achieved the second one, though my situation is quite special, similar to your friends."
Though before she responded back, I charged directly at her while launching a Galaxy Spiral, which she barely managed to dodge before getting clotheslined by me, although that's what should've happened but berserk Kale flashed in front of her and blocked the attack instead.
With the opening Kale created by blocking my attack, Caulifla jumped over Kale and kicked the side of my face, grinning, I grab Caulifla's leg with my other hand and slam her down on top of Kale.
Sage-"Your attacks are quite pitiful, can't even do any damage to me."
I mocked Caulifla as I flash away in the distance though not before leaving a couple of ki grenades that exploded after I distanced myself. When the smoke clears, I see Kale come charging right at me with Caulifla following right behind, while both of them seemed to have received minor injuries from the explosion, though that was the plan, I came here to enjoy a fight, not eliminate them quickly.
As our fight continues on with me fighting both of them, I notice Kale is slowly but surely gaining her reason back bit by bit, as her attacks start better synchronizing with Caulifla's. Though all of a sudden Caulifla detaches away from the fight, leaving Kale to fight me by herself, however, I'm more interested in what Caulifla's doing so I'm mainly staying on the defensive while watching Caulifla in the background.
Caulifla's body grows in size while gaining a small power boost, but when I thought it was all over, her power once again grew, this time however her body becomes super bulky before she charges right back into the fight with Kale.
Sage-'She's heading in the right direction if she wants to achieve SSj2, but it seems she hasn't realized how inefficient that bulky form is. Now that I think about it, both Kale and I grew greatly in size when we transformed yet our speed never dropped, I wonder why is that? Probably because we're mutants, yeah let's just go with that.'
Focusing back on the fight, I dodge all of Caulifla's attacks while only blocking Kale's, and it seemed after a while Caulifla caught onto what I was doing.
Caulifla-"Dammit, this form is too slow, I can't even hit him!"
Sage-"Took you long enough to figure it out, but either way, you're in a predicament, the form you're in is too slow, yet the other form doesn't have enough power, how will you solve this problem."
When I said that she grumbled as she reverted back to normal SSj before we continued on with the battle.
We'd been fighting for a while and I was starting to get bored, so I thought about ending the fight. Catching both of their coordinated punches, I bring Caulifla close to me and knee her in the stomach, while also bringing Kale close to me, though I give her a powerful headbutt that caused her to become disoriented. Letting go of their fists, I grabbed both of them by the hair before chucking them toward the edge of the arena, which we had slowly made our way to while fighting.
When I arrived at the edge of the arena, I saw Caulifla slowly get up, while Kale was still disoriented, but before Caulifla could react, I flashed right in front of her and grabbed her by the hair once more.
Caulifla-"Ugh, let go of me, it was just about to get exciting!!"
Sage-"No, I've gotten quite bored, so I'll eliminate you now."
I put my hand on her stomach and created a Galaxy Burst that launched her past the edge of the arena before a violent explosion went off, as I had used more power in that attack than when I was fighting them.
Kale-"Caulifla!!"
Turning around I get to witness the previously berserk Kale finally regaining her reasoning, while also slimming back down in size, but her muscles are still pronounced.
Sage-'She's the first woman I've seen have bigger muscles than mother, impressive.'
Sage-"There's no point in yelling, she's already eliminated, so how about I eliminate you too!"
I was about to charge at Kale till I heard a voice coming from a distance.
Caulifla-"Hahaha, what do you mean I'm eliminated, I'm right here!"
Both of us look out into the void toward the direction of where I sent Caulifla, and there we see her using ki blasts to propel her back on stage while also having transformed into an SSj2.
Caulifla-"It took a while, but I've finally achieved it, SSj2! Now it's time for round 2 Sage!"
Kale-"Caulifla you're alright!!"
Caulifla-"But of course, and it seems like you've gained your reasoning back, let us defeat him and show him our power!!"
With their little reunion, their morale was at an all-time high so they quickly increased their power to the maxim before charging at me with a punch. Smirking, I launch myself directly at them, and when we got close, I punched as well, causing my first to collide with both of theirs, yet neither of us gained an upper hand, pulling my hand back which causes them to lunge toward me and I take that chance to kick Kale but she caught my leg, and Caulifla used that opportunity to kick me in the stomach.
Throwing a punch at Caulifla, who I missed as Kale who was still holding my leg pulled it, which caused me to lose my balance for a split second, but before Caulifla could attack again, I shot a Ki blast off my foot that exploded right on top of Kale. With my foot finally free, I push myself off the ground with my hand while using my other hand to catch Caulifla in midair and throw her at Kale who was running toward us.
Once I'm back on my feet, I look at Kale and Caulifla with a smile, before charging right back into the fight.
