She was finally gone!
Goku was proud of himself.
Kefla had been an intense opponent, but she had made a great mistake.
By pushing him to his furthest limits, she had successfully written her elimination into
stone.
However, Goku was back to square one again.
His energy was completely drained.
And to his disadvantage, every single fighter left in this tournament had been watching
him all along.
Time had almost stood still as he fought against Jiren.
And the same had happened one more time the moment Kale and Caulifla had fused to become
the dangerous Kefla.
Through both of his fights using Ultra Instinct, the other universes were well aware of the
danger that he would cause them.
The time had come to ignore all morals.
It was important to eliminate him now.
But Goku's teammates knew exactly what would be on the minds of the other fighters from
the other universes.
And they were quick to come to his defense.
Suddenly, Piccolo and Gohan were stopped in their tracks.
The 2 Namekians from Universe 6 weren't done with this fight yet.
And with no way to avoid them, Gohan and Piccolo were forced to stay behind.
They would have to trust that the other remaining Universe 7 fighters would come to Goku's
rescue.
Gohan worried about his father.
Was there anyone close by to help?
Maybe it would be Vegeta.
However, Vegeta had already started his own battle in an attempt to access Ultra Instinct
for himself.
He let his body become limp as he allowed his new opponent to continuously land each
of his attacks.
But this style of fighting seemed off.
Vegeta ultimately decided that he would much rather be blocking and putting up a counter
attack to someone's fist than to be dodging it.
So he quickly gave up and returned to relying on a rain of attacks to his opponent.
Not too far away, Androids 17 and 18 were temporarily hiding out.
But when they saw some Universe 2 fighters leaping into action, they knew Goku was in
trouble.
Seeing his new powers built their trust in Goku even more than usual.
They must protect their strongest member.
Unfortunately, though, Android 18 couldn't even force herself to stand back up again.
Her ankle had been injured in one of her previous fights.
And with those 2 women they had just seen jumping closer to Goku, plus the feeling that
no others were on their way to help, the twins knew they needed to move quickly.
But thankfully, Android 17 had experience with injuries like these.
And he was able to get 18 back into fighting condition.
The Androids arrived just on time.
Not only had the 2 women they had seen earlier shown up to battle a weakened Goku, but they
had also met up with the other 3 warriors remaining from Universe 2.
They could overhear Beerus screaming out the exact thought that was running through their
heads.
5 fighters up against a warrior with absolutely no stamina left in him?
This was completely unfair!
However, there was an important fact to remember.
Every Universe that was a part of the Tournament of Power was here for the same exact reason.
To protect their home.
It was unfortunate, but the so called right thing to do was no longer seen in the same
light.
The Android pair prepared themselves for battle.
To avenge her teammate, Rosie targeted Number 17.
This left Ribrianne with Number 18.
But before they lept into the fight, Ribrianne instructed her other teammates to watch over
Goku.
She wanted the pleasure of defeating him herself.
And then, the fights began.
With the sound of her ankle twisting yet again, the Androids came to the realization that
this fight would be harder than expected.
If they had any chance at all of eliminating these 2 troublesome women, then they would
have to work together.
And with a look of understanding, they had decided on a plan.
The first part of their plan was simple.
Turn their backs to each other so that they could get the 2 girls facing each other.
The benefit to this was that the Androids would be able to quickly and easily jump out
of the way, leaving their opponents open.
The villains would end up attacking each other.
This plan was working!
Rosie had been caught by the large attack Ribrianne had just launched at Number 18.
But Rosie's fears started to calm as she saw Ribrianne coming to save her from possible
elimination.
Unfortunately for them, though, the twins had already created their second part of the
plan for this as well.
But before Ribrianne was able to catch up to her friend, Rosie had appeared in the stands.
And even worse, Ribrianne's powers had disappeared.
She was now in Goku's situation.
Drained of energy and left all alone.
Targeted by a fearsome warrior.
Or at least that's what she wanted everyone to think.
Although it was true that she had been drained of most of her energy, there was just enough
left for a final surprise.
With a secret, underground technique, Number 18 had been captured.
Suddenly, a glow of energy surrounded Brianne.
Her body lifted into the air.
The shock of those watching could almost be felt shaking through the stands and on the
stage.
Ribrianne was massive.
Android 18's heart started to race faster and faster.
What could she do now?
Her brother had disappeared.
Her ankle had been hurt even worse than before.
And her body had been engulfed by a barrier.
Even if she could manage to break that barrier, her leg would still be wrapped with Ribrianne's
attack.
Number 18 hung her head, closed her eyes, and accepted her defeat, and ultimately, her
elimination.
She apologized to Krillin as she remembered their life together with their daughter.
But the sound of his voice calling her name was becoming more and more realistic sounding.
She opened her eyes.
This sound was no dream.
She was still here on the tournament stage.
What Number 18 was hearing was the real thing.
It was Krillin.
The fight still lingering in his eyes touched Number 18's soul.
If her husband had the will and the faith in her to keep going, then she had no other
choice.
Android 18 was ready to fight.
She powered up and broke Ribrianne's hold on her.
The weight of the amazement from Universe 2's section of the stands was heavy enough
to be felt across the stage.
Number 18's fist made contact with the fist of the monster that was towering over her.
Ribrianne couldn't believe what she was seeing.
How could a woman who was misusing love by being married to a baldie be defeating the
enormous amount of love energy that she had absorbed from her beautiful teammates?
But what happened next shocked Ribrianne even more.
Her fist had shattered into pieces like fragile pieces of glass.
She must defend herself from the woman running up her arm.
But her attack was blocked!
Number 17 had arrived just in time to protect his twin sister.
Their teamwork had paid off.
The hole in Ribrianne's head forced her new transformation to disappear.
Leaving behind a sad and weakened, eliminated fighter.
Her chance to defeat Goku and to protect her Universe further had come to an end.
But her eyes had been opened to a brand new type of love.
How beautiful and strong it was.
But as the Androids celebrate their victory, Goku is still left behind.
Barely able to stand, he's already made the decision to defend himself once again.
No amount of weakness is going to keep him down.
The 3 fighters before him have been waiting patiently.
Following Ribrianne's orders was no fun, but she wanted Goku's defeat all to herself.
But now, that safety net has disappeared along with Ribrianne's giant form.
The 3 warriors are instructed to forget about beauty.
Goku's elimination is all that matters now.
But what is this?
Goku's 3 opponents do something that is completely different from anything he was
expecting of them to do.
Goku looks around him.
The 3 fighters left to defend Universe 2 have created a triangle around him.
What can they be planning to do?
A pink aura suddenly appears around all 3 of them.
The Universe 2 team members sitting in the stands are offering their love.
And shockingly, the surroundings around Goku start to disappear.
He has been captured in some kind of void.
A new dimension.
This is Universe 2's black hole.
They start throwing their fists towards the wobbly fighter.
Goku manages to at least be able to defend himself.
However, the wear on his body is great.
Goku doesn't even know himself how he's able to keep moving.
It starts to remind him of his fight with Kale and Caulifla.
The stronger those 2 girls had gotten, the more the excitement of the fight turned into
energy that he was able to use to regain his strength back.
And just like then, Goku finds himself starting to keep up with their movements easier with
every block.
The fear he had and the hopes of someone to come give him a hand feel like they're disappearing.
But suddenly they stop!
Again, Goku looks around him.
The sky of the world of void starts to reappear.
Something strange is going on here.
Goku realizes that his enemies hadn't stopped on their own free will.
Is something controlling them?
He looks for the source of this strange occurrence as the 3 fighters struggle to even move.
And then he spots it.
Frieza is standing there laughing.
This triggers an unpleasant memory in Goku's mind.
Frieza had done this same thing to Krillin many years ago.
And from what Goku had seen of Frieza before Universe 7 had arrived to the Tournament of
Power, Frieza is up to no good.
Goku knows for sure that Frieza isn't doing this to help a teammate out.
He's doing it just to have some fun.
However, Frieza sees it in a different light than Goku does.
After watching the abilities that Ultra Instinct had given to his long-standing rival, Frieza
had a wonderful idea.
Why not have Goku work for him?
But having a weak, out-of-energy Goku is no good for working.
Frieza supposes he will just have to help Goku out a little bit.
But this kind offer quickly turns to annoyance and just plain anger.
Frieza holding the remaining Universe 2 fighters still gives Goku the perfect opportunity.
And with him not realizing Frieza's true intentions, Goku somehow manages to build
up enough energy to actually attack these 3.
Universe 2's last hope is suddenly lost.
Another Universe is erased.
But Goku isn't the only one facing big problems.
Still held back from assisting him, Gohan and Piccolo have restarted their fight with
the Universe 6 Namekians.
They have been forced to stand back to back.
The 2 Universe 7 fighters prepare themselves for a tough battle.
They both know these are the last 2 remaining fighters from Universe 6.
And with that type of pressure weighing on their shoulders, Gohan and Piccolo know perfectly
well that these Namekians are about to give it everything they have.
That's when Piccolo notices the Namekian standing across from him doing something strange.
He is focusing on something that seems important.
Why close his eyes right in the middle of a fight?
The feeling intensifies.
Piccolo can see it!
This must be the reason he had felt so much strength from these Namekians when they first
had met.
This Namekian is more similar to his own self than he had previously realized.
But at the same exact time, he is also very different.
The Namekian standing in front of Piccolo is focusing on his inner being.
And that inner self seems to be very crowded.
He is not alone.
He has fused with multiple other Namekians!
The hidden strength now seems obvious.
Piccolo starts to sweat.
Had the other Universe 6 fighter also fused with multiple others too?
This fight might be harder than either he or Gohan have been expecting it to be.
This requires a sneaky attack that their opponents won't see coming.
With each of them pretending to be weaker than they actually are, Gohan and Piccolo
know they will be able to fool these 2 just enough to win the fight.
Piccolo attacks.
The Namekian from his paired Universe doesn't appreciate this sudden pain.
He instinctively attacks Piccolo back.
And with one of the Universe 7 fighters seeming to be down for a quick second, his partner
tries to go in for a final move.
But Gohan jumps in and blocks this attack.
Piccolo surprises them when he turns around.
Not even in pain, he aims and makes contact!
The Namekian flies off the stage.
And with only himself left to save his Universe, standing up against these 2 surprisingly smart
fighters, the last Namekian tries his best to hold in his fears.
He turns his emotions to anger.
Revenge will be his!
But as he runs towards his enemies, they surprise him yet again.
They read his movements.
And with one final attack, he, too, is eliminated.
Vegeta becomes angry as he watches Universe 6 also get erased.
