episode 16

The dark energy radiating from Zathor weighed heavily on the Saiyans. Even in their Primal Saiyan forms, the oppressive force felt immense, as if Zathor’s power could bend the very fabric of the universe around him.

Goku tightened his fists, his aura crackling with primal energy. “We’ve faced guys like you before, and every time, we get stronger. You’re not taking anything from us!”

Zathor grinned, revealing his sharpened teeth. “Your defiance is amusing. But I do not simply take—I destroy.”

With a flick of his hand, Zathor unleashed a wave of dark energy, so powerful that the ground beneath the Saiyans cracked and splintered. Goku, Vegeta, and Broly barely had time to react as they launched into the air, avoiding the blast as it devastated the planet’s surface below.

Vegeta, his Primal Saiyan form blazing with violet energy, shot forward. “Enough talk!” He charged Zathor, launching a barrage of rapid, precise attacks aimed at his opponent’s core. His fists moved faster than the eye could track, each strike vibrating with the full force of his newfound power.

But Zathor effortlessly dodged, his movements smooth and calculated. “Is that all, Prince of Saiyans? I expected more.”

With a sudden burst of speed, Zathor countered, striking Vegeta square in the chest with a blast of dark energy. Vegeta was sent flying back, crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact.

“Vegeta!” Goku yelled, rushing to his comrade’s aid.

But Zathor was relentless. He raised his arms and began channeling a massive ball of dark energy above his head. The sky trembled as the sphere grew in size, dwarfing everything around it. “I will erase this entire planet from existence. You should feel honored, Saiyans—you’ll become the first casualties in the true war for the cosmos.”

Broly, his primal power surging uncontrollably, let out a deafening roar as he launched himself at Zathor. His green aura flared violently, shaking the very atmosphere as he threw himself into the fray with reckless abandon. His raw strength overwhelmed the space around him, his punches causing shockwaves that distorted reality.

Zathor caught Broly’s fist mid-strike, his expression still calm, but his voice carrying a hint of irritation. “You… you are nothing more than a beast. A mindless brute who doesn’t understand the power you wield.”

With a twist of his wrist, Zathor redirected Broly’s energy back at him, sending the berserker flying across the battlefield. Broly slammed into the ground, leaving a crater in his wake but quickly rose again, undeterred.

Goku watched as his two allies were being overpowered. He knew that if they didn’t find a way to turn the tide, Zathor would destroy them all. His mind raced, searching for a solution.

Suddenly, Whis, who had been observing from a distance, called out. “Goku! Vegeta! There is a way to defeat Zathor, but it will require you to push past the limits of your Primal Saiyan forms.”

Goku glanced at Whis, his eyes filled with determination. “What do we have to do?”

Whis floated closer, his tone more serious than usual. “The Primal Saiyan form is powerful, yes, but it is still incomplete. There is another level beyond it—a fusion of primal energy and your divine Saiyan instincts. But unlocking it will require all three of you to work in perfect harmony.”

Vegeta stood up, wiping the blood from his lip. “Tch. A new form? We’ve already unlocked the power of the planet itself. What more is there?”

Whis pointed at the chaotic energy swirling around Zathor. “Zathor’s strength comes from the destruction of order, but if you can synchronize your energies, you can forge a power that even he cannot comprehend—a power that brings balance to the chaos.”

Goku’s face lit up with excitement. “A new transformation? I’m in!”

Vegeta scoffed but nodded. “Fine. Let’s finish this once and for all.”

Broly, still struggling to maintain control over his primal rage, took a deep breath and nodded as well. “I’ll follow your lead.”

The three Saiyans closed their eyes, focusing their energy. The air around them began to hum with raw, primal power as their auras merged, creating a swirling vortex of golden, violet, and green light. Slowly, the energy stabilized, and the ground beneath them trembled as their powers began to synchronize.

Zathor watched with amusement. “A last-ditch effort? How predictable.”

But as the Saiyans’ energy continued to rise, the entire planet seemed to resonate with their power. The air crackled with electricity, and the sky began to shift from dark to a radiant gold. The combined energy of the three Saiyans formed a singular, unified aura that pulsated with unimaginable power.

Goku, Vegeta, and Broly opened their eyes simultaneously, and a shockwave of energy erupted from their bodies, forcing Zathor to shield himself momentarily.

The transformation was complete.

Their forms had evolved, their muscles more defined, and their auras glowed with a mix of divine and primal energy. Goku’s eyes shimmered with a silver tint, reminiscent of Ultra Instinct, while Vegeta’s aura blazed with the fierce intensity of a god. Broly’s power, once wild and uncontrollable, was now focused, his green aura harmonizing with the other two.

Together, they had unlocked Primal Instinct, a form that combined the untamed power of the Primal Saiyan with the calm, instinctual mastery of divine energy.

Goku grinned, feeling the surge of power coursing through him. “This… this is amazing!”

Vegeta clenched his fists, feeling the balance between chaos and control. “I’ve never felt anything like this.”

Broly’s normally wild demeanor was replaced with a quiet, focused intensity. “We’re ready.”

Zathor’s grin faded, realizing the Saiyans were no longer the same opponents. His voice, once filled with arrogance, now carried a hint of unease. “What… is this?”

Goku stepped forward, his aura crackling with divine and primal energy. “This is what happens when Saiyans work together. You’re not taking anything from us, Zathor!”

With a burst of speed, the three Saiyans charged Zathor, their movements perfectly synchronized. Zathor barely had time to react as they unleashed a flurry of coordinated attacks, each blow stronger than the last. Their combined power was overwhelming, even for him.

Zathor tried to counter, using his dark energy to warp the battlefield, but Goku, Vegeta, and Broly were too fast, too focused. Their attacks pierced through his defenses, each strike carrying the weight of the Primal Instinct form.

In one final, decisive moment, the three Saiyans gathered their energy and unleashed a combined attack—a beam of pure primal and divine energy that tore through the sky and struck Zathor with devastating force.

Zathor screamed in agony as the energy consumed him, his dark aura crumbling under the sheer power of their assault. With a final, desperate cry, Zathor was obliterated, his presence wiped from existence.

As the dust settled, the Saiyans stood victorious, their Primal Instinct forms still glowing brightly. They had done it—they had defeated Zathor and saved the universe from his destructive ambitions.

Goku, panting but smiling, turned to his friends. “We did it! That was awesome!”

Vegeta nodded, a rare look of satisfaction on his face. “Hmph. For once, Kakarot, I’ll admit—you were right.”

Broly, feeling a deep sense of peace for the first time in his life, smiled quietly. “Thank you… both of you.”

Whis, watching from the distance, smiled warmly. “Well done, Saiyans. You’ve proven that even the most chaotic of powers can be mastered through unity. But remember, this is only the beginning. The universe is vast, and there will always be new challenges to face.”

As the Saiyans powered down and the planet’s energy returned to its natural state, they knew that while this battle was over, their journey was far from complete. But together, they were ready for whatever the universe had in store for them next.
