“C'mon girls, is this all you've got?” Tunnip taunts, ducking Kabuya's heavy right and throwing a heavy left elbow up into her gut that launches the taller woman straight into the air. Just as Cele fires off a pair of energy waves, cutting off Tunnip's movement. “Oh?”
“GOTCHA!” she roars, throwing her hands together and drawing the twin beams in like a reverse wedge. Catching Tunnip in the energy and forcing her back, combining the two energies into one beam and forcing her to the far edge of the stage. But Tunnip plants her feet, aura suddenly exploding up around her as she takes on her Super Saiyan 3 form. As she powers up, the wave no longer seems to affect her at all, letting the woman start walking through the energy back towards the woman.
“Stop showin' off an' fight me!” Sarada shouts, her Ascended Demon aura blazing as she flies in, kicking Tunnip upside the head and sending both flying outside of the energy attack. Cele ends her attack, just in time to take a heavy tackle from Artoa in the back.
“Guh?” Cele calls out, knocked down to the ground in a tumble. She rolls over a few times before getting back to her feet, having turned around to face Artoa. “Oh, it's you. Kinda impressed you're still in this, what with all these Super Saiyans.”
“I'm not giving up.” Artoa declares, taking a defensive stance. “I have to win this one, for my house!”
“Nice resolve.” Cassa says while throwing her in a headlock, having snuck up behind her completely unnoticed. “Too bad you're done. Now, go to sleep.”
You see that she's probably done, looking around at the others still fighting. Sarada and Tunnip are clearly the strongest competitors, knocking each other back with a right fist clash. But then you feel it, a sudden surge of energy from beneath you. Looking back down, you see that surge is coming from Artoa.
“I WON'T LOSE!!” she bellows, golden light exploding out from her as her strength runs wild. She finally transcends her limits, and for the first time becomes a Super Saiyan. “HRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!”
“She did it.” you hear, looking over and seeing the large frame of your student Cenoria flying beside you. “She finally did it.”
