The landscape of the Null Realm Arena was surreal, a vast expanse of swirling nebulas and shimmering lights blinking like distant stars in an ocean of void. The palpable tension hung in the air, a prelude to chaos waiting to unfurl. Nick scratched his head, gaze darting across the arena, eyes wide with disbelief. “What are we even doing here? This is ridiculous!” he exclaimed, flailing a hand encompassing the entirety of it. “I mean, who thought pitting everyone here together was a good idea?” “Chill, Nick. Just focus,” Coach said, his voice booming with a strange mixture of authority and humor. He adjusted the sweat band around his forehead and bounced lightly on his feet, demonstrating the essence of their secret technique: the Bunny Jump. “Believe me, I may look like a marshmallow, but I can hop circles around anybody here!” “Let's not hop circles, okay? And what’s with the acid? I feel like I’m melting,” Nick groaned, rubbing the remnants from his elbow. “Hey, that’s just part of the charm! Besides, it’s not like it’s fatal. Just a little sizz! and pop! and we’ll be alright!” Coach chuckled, bouncing a little higher. “Right, because ‘little’ feels great on my skin.” Nick folded his arms, but a slight smile crept on his face. Just then, a thunderous sound rolled through the arena as Deus deorum Ultimatum Supremum materialized, his presence transforming the very fabric of the realm around him. His form shimmered, radiating an overwhelming sense of strength and power. “What is this insolence? Mere mortals bickering as if there’s a chance of victory?” He lifted his hand, and a snap echoed through dimensions. The arena trembled beneath the weight of his existence. “Look out!” Nick shouted, grabbing Coach and diving behind a floating rock, though he barely fit. “Why would he be in this?!” Coach’s belly jiggled as he attempted to leap out, “I don't know, Nick! But let’s not get zapped into cosmic dust! We need a plan!” “I’m pretty sure I just want to survive!” Nick shot back, but he couldn’t ignore the thrill running through him; this was adventure wrapped in chaos. “Pay close attention,” a calm voice drifted through the air—[Graceful Wind], The Foolish Sage That Defies Fate, perched casually on a floating crystal. “This arena is not merely a battleground; it is a tapestry of actions and reactions. Fate does not dictate; we do!” “Sounds like fancy talk to me,” Nick mumbled. Before more could be said, Goku materialized in a burst of energy, his trademark grin plastered on his face. “Hey everyone! How about we make this legendary? I’m totally pumped! Whoosh!” He thrust a fist skywards. “Let’s get stronger together instead of arguing!” “Goku, is that really the best approach?” Coach began, though Goku immediately responded with a gleeful shout. “I’m ready—I just need some snacks! Who's got snacks?!” “Your enthusiasm is somehow both infectious yet completely tone-deaf,” mumbled [Graceful Wind]. But cleverly, he couldn’t help but gesture at the absorbed energy swirling around. “Sometimes, chaos breeds opportunity. Let’s see who can best contend it." “Just remember,” said Nick, “No teaming up. That means you can’t hold hands just because Goku wants to share his snacks!” “Swoosh!” A sudden flash of energy felt like a storm's breath, and the arena roared to life as Infinity appeared, embodying nothingness and everything at once. He looked at the clustered group, a hint of a smirk on his face. “I sincerely think any arrangements among you are futile. The concept of ‘teams’ in this existence is too… limited.” “Does that mean you’re on your own?” Coach asked, concern etching deeper. “Or does it mean you’re planning something that’s going to wipe us out?” “Why choose?” Infinity countered enigmatically, his voice echoing, as if it transcended space and time. “Everything is an illusion.” “Okay,” Nick said, tone weary but firm. “This has gone off the rails. We need to get serious.” And then chaos erupted. “Boom!” Goku launched himself forward, transforming mid-leap into Super Saiyan. Golden hair flared, and his aura flared brilliantly. “Kamehameha!” he shouted, thrusting both palms forward as a massive energy wave shot toward Deus. With a mere flick of his wrist, a barrier unfurled around Deus, absorbing the attack effortlessly. “This is already dull. Mortal actions are like drops in an ocean,” he proclaimed. A sound like cracking glass echoed as the barrier rippled. The wave collapsed impotently. Meanwhile, Coach wasn’t idle. He jumped in, executing the Bunny Jump with gusto, leaping toward Goku and calling, “Let’s create some diversion! Bounce! Bounce!” He knocked Goku aside accidentally, but their friendship remained intact. “Eat your snacks after I jump! Just hold onto that energy.” “Nice jumping technique! Keep it up!” Goku called, before flipping into an attack stance to focus on Infinity, who seemed to be observing quietly, but everything about him felt wrong. “Thud!” Coach landed on the ground heavily but’d already built momentum. “Well, that isn’t unfair at all,” Nick sarcastically sighed, but he rolled into action. “I’ll guard the perimeters! I can’t let anyone die because I fail to whine!” “I won’t let any fates be locked,” [Graceful Wind] whispered, shifting shapes effortlessly, the air bending around him. He conjured multiple forms, each representing a possibility, a chance—warrior, sage, guardian. “Fate won’t claim me today!” A fierce rock-pile erupted as Goku’s spiraled energy collided with it, scattering the debris into fragments. “Crash! Hey, I think I almost knocked myself out there,” he chuckled, wiping sweat from his brow. Deus’ laughter resonated, swirling like dark clouds, “You amuse me. But am I entertainer or destroyer?” With a vague gesture, he tangled the energies around them, creating tendrils of spatial warps that ensnared Nick. “Gasp! What is this?!” Nick cried, flipping and attempting to hit the tendrils off. “Someone, help me out here! A simple 'no!' would’ve sufficed!” “Stay calm!” Coach shouted back. “Just wiggle your feet or something!” The moment of distraction sent [Graceful Wind], who was attempting to unravel one of the tendrils with his malleable form; instead, he found himself drawn in. “You cannot bind me to realities,” he said defiantly, escaping the dark grip. As each moment hung in tension, Infinity finally moved—his aura morphed into a storm of energy that bled into reality itself. "All your efforts mean nothing in my realm,” he said, sweeping distances at speeds unseen. “Wait!” Nick shouted in panic, “What does that even mean?!” But it was too late. “Wham!” As Infinity clashed against Goku, a flurry of strikes commenced—Goku blurred with agility unknown to the simple eye. “Consecutive Ki Blasts!” he yelled, unleashing a barrage. “Bam! Boom! Crash!” Yet each blast met Infinity’s immeasurable barrier. “Come on, can’t you just take a hit?! Phew!” Goku was beginning to question if even his power would prove effective against such an opponent. “Nothing remains proven in the face of infinity,” Infinity mused, gliding like shadows, merging with nothingness. The atmosphere trembled. “Fwoosh!” Again, [Graceful Wind] conjured an object amid the breeze, summoning a metaphysical entity of light—its dazzling luminescence bending toward Infinity. “Fate is all-consuming! Doesn’t mean we concede!” A mystic glint shone in his eyes as he sought to divert Infinity’s focus. “Your tricks hold no power,” Infinity said. “Whirl!” With a swift movement, he thrust out, forming tendrils of energy that ripped through space toward where Coach was attempting another jump. “Hey—Watch out!” Nick yelled, but his warning came too late as Coach found himself ensnared. “No! Not my buddy!” “Catch me if you can!” Coach yelled with a laugh, wiggling his arms, but realizing it was futile. Then it happened, he got ejected! “Woosh! Oh no!” He vanished from existence. “Pop! Nooooo! Not Coach!” Nick wailed, the realization sinking in as the energy crackled and dimmed. The image of Coach's laughter fading into nothingness haunted him. “This isn’t just a game—We have to fight for our lives!” Nick shouted, rallying the attention of everyone. “We can’t let him win!” “Let’s give it our all!” Goku rallied, churning energy in his palms, summoning the Spirit Bomb. Each minute flickered—a galaxy of energy coiling around him. “This is going to be legendary!” “Fate will not shackle me!” [Graceful Wind] leapt with him, conjuring multiple forms to distract Infinity, warping and darting, evading tendrils of darkness. With an explosive moment of coordination, they both launched. “Crackle! Spirit Bomb!” Infinity narrowed his gaze, aligning the unraveling chaos emitted by Goku and [Graceful Wind]. “Nothing—nothing at all is infinite!” he countered, twisting elements of reality against their force to match the onslaught. “Boom!” Spectral energy clashed, sending spectral echoes ricocheting off dimensional walls, warping reality. Nick held his breath, “Come on…!” But as soon as the energies met, a ripple distorted their moment; it spiraled outwards, and thud, Goku fell back, breathless. The force splintered, leaving only echoes behind. “That’s not how I envisioned my day,” Nick groaned, feeling melancholic. Infinity smiled, “And so the game shall continue. All futures are inevitable except those I choose to erase.” [Graceful Wind] struggled, and Goku traded anxious but determined expressions. “We’re not done yet!” With newfound resolve, Goku grinned, “Okay, I realize my training should’ve been more rigorous under pressure!” “Worry later!” [Graceful Wind] shifted again, this time conjuring the weight of fate itself, pulling it down as he materialized Destruction for Infinity. “This time, I will not let fate determine my end!” Infinity barely braced himself in confusion; it was a ticking moment before sound seemed to echo. “Now, finish him with teamwork!” Goku pushed through, gathering concentrated ki at the last second to blend along shimmering styles, channeling every ounce of warmth against Infinity’s surreal, dark aura. The combination hit, and sparks erupted from ever side, illuminating the arena in a kaleidoscope of colors with tendrils of infinity trying to corrupt their flow, twisting. “Crack, Bang!” In that moment, as energies clashed, swirling amalgamated light meeting dark shadows—the canvas of fate twisted unpredictably. “Roar!” The imagery wreaked havoc, cosmic energies erratically erupting as shadows snarled in disbelief; Infinity faltered. “I refuse; infinity itself should not be countered!” he scoffed, losing ground, shackled by unexpected alliance. “Time to return the favor!” Goku yelled again, volleying off, bridging their combined powers. And as reality shivered, [Graceful Wind] struck through the severed chains of fate, redirecting energies with deft hands. But at that moment… Splurt! The energies that combined suddenly burst and twisted unexpectedly. With a final shout, Goku and [Graceful Wind] detonated their focus resulting in a spectacular explosion! of digital energy, fading endlessly into the void. Infinity’s visage shattered as he was overwhelmed, gasping. “This cannot be; you shall never erase me!” He imploded, trapped within a cyclical essence before imploding. And then, silence reigned. The arena warped, as reality itself adjusted to the absence, floating colors swirling in a fading dance. With labored breaths between Goku and [Graceful Wind], they glanced at the void clearing. The remnants of their confrontation lingering around like glimmering stardust. “We did it… we actually did it,” Nick stammered in disbelief. “Yeah!” Goku laughed, muscles inching as he returned to his regular form. “That was amazing! What’s next? Fight for dessert?” “No,” [Graceful Wind] chuckled softly. “What lies ahead is beyond our comprehension. We’ve defeated infinity today—not just through power but through persistence.” “Those left can party,” Nick grinned, eyes sparkling with a newfound jubilation. “As a team!” Suddenly, the innocent moment felt pure. They unified—two powers, bonds forged through chaos. “Let’s do this!” Goku cheered, and the arena sang back to life. Winner: Goku and [Graceful Wind]
