Dragon Ball The Next

The two boys arrived at a place called the Diabolo desert.

"This place should do." Trunks said as he stood on top of a rock pillar.

"Here I come," Goten said as he flew towards Trunks.

The two punch each other. Their punch clashed and shook the surroundings.

The two then continued to fight equally with each of them landing a few attacks on each other.

The two were still in their base form.

Trunks was shocked that Goten was keeping up with him.

In the past, he had a slight advantage when both of them were in base form.

But it seems that Goten was fighting on par with him despite him giving his all.

"Is that it Trunks?" Goten asked while smiling.

Trunks back away.

He then gathered ki in both of his hands.

"Brave buster." He yelled out as he launched a powerful ki blast towards Goten.

Which seems to be the evolution of his double-buster.

"Galick Gun," Goten yelled out as he also used a ki beam to cancel out Trunk's attack.

The two attacks clashed but Goten's attack immediately overwhelmed Trunks Brave Buster.

Trunks quickly turned into Super Saiyan before Goten's Galick gun hit him as he would not be able to dodge the attack in base form.

"We are already going Super Saiyan?" Goten asked.

He also transformed into a Super Saiyan immediately after Trunks.

Trunks noticed that something was strange.

Goten's Super Saiyan looked a little different from what he saw in the past.

He saw Goten transformed right in front of his eyes but didn't feel that he powered up.

The two boys throw their fists at each other.

Clashing again for the second time but Trunks wins the exchange and sends Goten flying away.

Trunks didn't know why but in his mind he felt that Goten let him win instead of him winning the clash head-on.

Trunks flew after Goten.

However, as soon as he was near Goten, Goten launched a kick at him.

Trunks tried to block the attack but he was too slow to react and was hit in the face by Goten's kick.

Goten then used the recoil from his kick to make a small opening that allowed him to charge another Galick gun and Launched it at Trunks.

"What?" The attack was charged and used in such a short moment that Trunks was taken by surprise.

Trunks fell to the ground after being hit by Goten's Galick gun.

"How does he even change and use that attack in such a short time?" Trunks said as he looked at Goten.

"Trunks. I know you have something hidden up your sleeve. Show it to me." Goten said to Trunks.

"Fine." Trunks said as he started to change his ki.

The ground that he was standing on started to shake.

Trunks's small limbs started to grow muscles and his body began to bulk up.

"Wait. Don't tell me. This is Super Saiyan grade 2." Goten immediately realized what Trunks was trying to do.

"Ha." Trunks said as he looked at Goten after he finished transforming.

He then flew towards Goten and tried to hit him.

Goten blocked Trunks's attack but he felt pain from it nonetheless despite blocking it.

Master Super Saiyan or Perfected Super Saiyan's multiplier is not as strong as Super Saiyan grade 2.

That is despite Mastered Super Saiyan being regarded as a better form.

The reason is simple.

Master Super Saiyan form is a form that allows the user to use the Super Saiyan transformation for a prolonged time without wasting much energy.

It also allows the user to use more of their special attacks as the transformation does not eat away the user's ki.

While Grade 2 and 3 exchange speed for more raw power and cost a huge amount of energy to maintain.

Goten quickly backed away from Trunks.

Then he gathered ki in his hands and punched Trunks in the stomach making him cough up blood.

Then he combined his hands and knocked down Trunks by smacking him into the ground.

Then he charged up an attack called Galick beam. A smaller version of the Galick gun and launched it at Trunks.

Trunks blocked the attack.

However, he realized that Goten was already charging a more powerful attack while he was distracted by his Galick beam attack.

"Trunks. I will show you my full power. Take this. Earth Splitting Galick Gun." Goten said as he launched the most powerful version of the Galick Gun that he had used in his life.

"Not good. If that attack hit me I would not be able to get up the whole day. I have to destroy it by using everything I got." Trunks said.

He started to charge something in his hands. While charging he transformed from grade 2 to grade 3 as his muscles grew bigger and his power increased even higher than it initially was.

"Finish Buster." He yelled out as he launched a powerful ki blast at Goten's earth-splitting Galick Gun before it hit him in the final second.

Despite Goten using his strongest attack Trunks Finish Buster was still stronger as it pierced Goten's Galick Gun like a hot knife cutting through butter.

"I win." Trunks said while smiling.

Only to see that Goten dodged the attack when he realized that he would not be able to overpower it.

Goten also launched a Ki blast using his remaining power as he dodged the attack.

Normally Trunks would not be able to fight like how he is fighting now.

Even using Finish Buster would have used all of his energy when he was all full power.

Now he used it after he fought Goten for a while and wasted some of his energy.

Meaning that he was in an even worse situation as he pushed his body beyond its limits.

His muscles were aching and he was unable to move anymore.

He knew if he hit his attack on Goten he might have won but he was not able to hit him.

Marking his defeat as Goten's attack hit him and knocked him down.

Trunks turned back into his base form and lost all the muscle mass from his grade 3 transformation.

"That was close," Goten said.

He still has some energy left to spare but he was not expecting Trunks to overwhelm him when he is using his strongest attack.

He was stronger than Trunks overall but it seemed like the gap between them was not much.

I wanted to see how much you can grow. Trunks. Goten thought in his mind as he looked at his rival.

The score between them is 1:1.
