DBZ Goten : Become Stronger By Defeating Your Opponent

Merus stared at the rejuvenated Moro, his expression turning solemn. Despite the unease, he raised the pistol in his hand and pointed it confidently at the villain.

Moro snorted, his disdain evident as he eyed the weapon. "A mere pistol? How foolish," he muttered.

But Merus didn't hesitate. In an instant, he darted towards Moro, his movements deliberate yet controlled. Moro, unimpressed by Merus' apparent lack of speed, sneered again.

"Is that all you've got?" Moro mocked.

Suddenly, Merus slid beneath Moro's feet, evading his line of sight with a swift maneuver. Before Moro could react, Merus was already behind him.

BANG!

A loud shot rang out, and from Merus' pistol emerged not a bullet, but a large, metallic net. The net expanded mid-air, wrapping itself tightly around Moro's body.

"What the—!" Moro gritted his teeth, struggling against the unexpected restraint. His movements became frantic as he pulled and tugged at the confines of the net.

"This isn't just any net, Moro," Merus announced, his voice steady. "It was specifically designed to bind your magic. You won't escape this time!"

"You... insolent fool!" Moro roared, his voice trembling with fury. The idea of being trapped after regaining his strength infuriated him. Revenge against the Grand Kai had been within his grasp, but now this mortal stood in his way.

Despite Merus' confidence, the net began to strain under Moro's immense power. The tension was palpable as the fibers of the magical trap stretched dangerously.

"Stay down, Moro!" Merus shouted, but doubt flickered in his eyes. He wasn't sure if the net could hold Moro's brute force.

With a guttural yell, Moro summoned every ounce of strength in his body, tearing a gaping hole in the net. The fibers snapped and fell away as Moro freed himself, his breathing heavy, his expression a mask of rage.

Merus stepped back, his face pale. The net had been his trump card. Without it, he was unsure how to subdue the relentless villain.

Moro smirked, his focus shifting. "You won't have a second chance," he growled. Extending his hands, he began to channel his magic, drawing energy directly from Namek's core. The ground beneath them trembled as the planet's vitality drained away. Flowers wilted, the air grew thin, and the once-lush terrain began to wither into desolation.

Merus raised his weapon again, firing repeatedly in an attempt to disrupt Moro's absorption. However, Moro, wary from their earlier skirmish, evaded with ease.

As the situation grew dire, four figures suddenly appeared, descending onto the battlefield. Their arrival was heralded by a gust of wind and a surge of energy that momentarily halted Moro's actions.

Merus turned, his eyes lighting up. "Goku! Vegeta! Broly!" He recognized the newcomers immediately and rushed to greet them.

"And Jaco," one of the figures added.

Merus blinked. "Oh, uh, right. Jaco too."

"Are you okay, Merus?" Jaco asked, concern in his voice.

Merus nodded but gestured toward Moro. "That's him—the monster we've been chasing."

Goku, always eager, grinned. "Then it's about time we stepped in."

"Wait a second, Goku," Vegeta interrupted. "Why do you always get the first crack at the strong ones? This time, it's my turn."

Goku laughed. "How about we settle this the old-fashioned way? Rock, paper, scissors!"

Vegeta crossed his arms but nodded after a moment of thought. "Fine, but no tricks this time!"

The two warriors quickly played their game. "Rock, paper, scissors!" they chanted in unison.

Goku's fist triumphantly showed paper, while Vegeta's formed scissors. "Ha! I win!" Goku exclaimed, much to Vegeta's annoyance.

"Whatever. Don't mess it up," Vegeta grumbled, stepping back with folded arms.

Turning serious, Goku faced Moro. Even without engaging in battle, the dark energy emanating from Moro was suffocating. Goku took a deep breath and powered up, his golden aura flaring to life as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Merus stared in awe. "What is that?" he asked Jaco.

"That's a Super Saiyan," Jaco explained. "A transformation that multiplies their power."

Goku wasted no time, rushing toward Moro with blinding speed. His first strike—a powerful punch—missed as Moro vanished, reappearing in the air above him.

"Too slow," Moro mocked, firing a purple energy wave directly at Goku.

BOOM!

The explosion rocked the sky, sending debris raining down. Broly and Jaco gasped in unison, their eyes searching through the thick smoke for any sign of Goku.

When the smoke cleared, Goku stood unharmed, his arms raised in a defensive stance.

Moro's eyes narrowed. "You blocked it?"

"Now it's my turn," Goku declared. With a roar, his aura shifted. His golden hair and emerald eyes changed, becoming sky blue. A new energy radiated from him, calmer yet infinitely more intense.

"This... this is Super Saiyan Blue," Vegeta explained to Merus without being prompted. "A transformation achieved by mastering the power of Super Saiyan God."

Moro sneered. "Another transformation? Your tricks won't save you."

Goku didn't respond. Instead, he charged forward, his movements quicker and more precise than before. Moro prepared to counter, but Goku vanished just before landing a blow.

"Behind you!" Goku shouted, appearing at Moro's rear. Before the villain could react, Goku's foot connected with his head, sending him hurtling to the ground.

Moro crashed into the island below, creating a massive crater. Dust and debris obscured the aftermath, but as the smoke cleared, Moro emerged, battered but far from defeated.
