Chapter 44 - Final fight pt2

Mori facing Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta, the intensity of the battle ramping up as the trio transforms. Goku and Gohan more power of the Super Saiyan 3 form, their long golden hair crackling with energy, while Vegeta taps into more of his powerful Super Saiyan 4 state, a primal and controlled force of pure Ki. Mori watches them, feeling the raw power radiating from the three Saiyans. His mind races, evaluating the situation.

"They're going all out now," he mutters to himself, his eyes narrowing behind his mask. "But Vegeta… his power is different, more refined. He's slightly stronger than Goku and Gohan."

Mori knows what he's up against, but he's ready. With a smirk, he charges forward, deciding to strike first. Gohan is the closest, and Mori's fist drives into his stomach, catching the young warrior off guard and momentarily knocking the wind out of him. Without missing a beat, Mori spins, throwing a punch at Vegeta's face, but the Saiyan prince blocks it with his forearm. Vegeta grins as Mori spins into a kick aimed at Goku, but Goku swiftly brings up his forearm to block the blow.

Goku smirks back at Mori, their eyes locking in silent acknowledgement of each other's strength.

"Nice kick, but you're not faster than us," Goku taunts as he pushes back with a flurry of punches aimed at Mori's midsection. Mori blocks most of them but is forced to backpedal under the relentless onslaught. Gohan recovers and joins the fray, his speed in SSJ3 catching Mori off guard as he appears behind him with a fierce kick to Mori's ribs, sending him flying across the battlefield.

Vegeta watches for a split second before deciding it's his turn. In a flash, Vegeta is in front of Mori, who barely has time to brace himself before Vegeta's fists pound into his chest with enough force to send shockwaves through the air. Mori grits his teeth, his body taking the full brunt of Vegeta's SSJ4 strength.

"That form… it's stronger than I expected," Mori thinks, wincing as Vegeta drives him further into the ground with an overhead punch. He quickly flips backward, narrowly avoiding a follow-up strike from Gohan, and skids to a stop.

Realizing he's on the defensive, Mori's aura flares up as he fully unleashes his power. The ground trembles beneath him as his Dovahhkin Ki, a powerful and otherworldly purple energy, surges outward, cloaking him in a dense, ominous flame of energy. The force of it sends shockwaves across the battlefield.

"I've been saving this," Mori mutters under his breath. The air hums with power as his Ki spikes dramatically, raising him to a level that rivals Goku and Gohan's combined SSJ3 strength. His body pulses with the Dovahhkin energy, and his eyes narrow as he prepares to counter the trio.

With newfound speed, Mori blitzes forward, focusing on Gohan first. He teleports behind the young Saiyan, delivering a brutal knee to his back, then vanishes again to strike Goku from the side. Goku barely manages to block, but the force sends him skidding backward, his arms shaking from the impact.

Vegeta grins, his eyes locking onto Mori. "So you're not holding back anymore," he growls before charging in with incredible speed, his SSJ4 form allowing him to keep up with Mori's Dovahhkin Ki.

The two clash, trading a series of rapid, earth-shaking blows. Each punch from Vegeta is heavier, more deliberate, while Mori relies on his speed and TimeSkip ability to counter. The air cracks with each impact as they fight at a level that makes the ground below them tremble.

Mori blocks a kick from Vegeta, then teleports behind him, only to be met by a double-fisted strike from Goku and Gohan, who had anticipated the move. Mori grits his teeth as the force of their combined blow sends him crashing into the ground, creating a crater beneath him.

Panting, Mori rises from the crater. "They're stronger together," he thinks. "Especially Goku and Gohan—they move like a single unit. But Vegeta… his sheer power is on another level."

Mori taps into his TimeSkip again, vanishing from sight as he reappears directly in front of Gohan. His fist drives into Gohan's chest, but Gohan, having fought Mori before, sees it coming. He twists his body, taking the punch on his shoulder before retaliating with a fierce uppercut that cracks Mori's mask further.

Staggering back, Mori is suddenly met by a heavy kick from Vegeta. It sends him flying, but before he can recover, Goku is already above him, charging a massive Kamehameha wave. "Take this!" Goku yells as he fires the blast downward.

Mori grits his teeth, his Dovahhkin energy surging around him as he crosses his arms to block the wave. The force of the blast pushes him deeper into the ground, but Mori manages to deflect it just in time to avoid being overwhelmed.

Panting heavily, Mori stands up, his eyes locked on the trio. "Damn… even with all this power, Vegeta is still stronger, and Goku and Gohan are relentless." But Mori doesn't give up. His pride won't let him.

He focuses all his energy into a final assault, charging toward Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta. He trades blow for blow, using his knowledge of their fighting styles to anticipate their moves. He manages to keep up with Goku and Vegeta through sheer experience, dodging their attacks and countering when he can, while using TimeSkip to avoid Gohan's strikes.

The battle rages on until something unexpected happens. In the heat of the fight, Mori's mask, already cracked from the earlier blows, finally shatters. It falls to the ground, revealing his face. Gohan, who has been fighting with all his might, suddenly freezes, his eyes widening in shock.

"Wait… that's…" Gohan's voice falters as he stares at Mori, disbelief washing over him. His golden aura flickers as he backs away.

Goku and Vegeta, too focused on the battle, don't notice. They continue fighting, their attacks driving Mori back, but Gohan can't take his eyes off Mori's face.

Then, with a voice filled with shock and confusion, Gohan yells out, "UNCLE MORI?!"

The entire battlefield seems to freeze. Goku and Vegeta stop mid-attack, their eyes widening as they process what Gohan just said. Mori, panting heavily, lowers his hands and looks at Gohan, a mixture of exhaustion and surprise on his face.

The fight comes to an abrupt halt, the tension lingering in the air as the revelation sinks in. The three Saiyans stare at Mori, no longer seeing him as just an enemy, but as someone they know—someone they never expected to be fighting. Leaving everyone in stunned silence.
