Suddenly, Goku was blasted out of the smoke, sent flying straight into a massive Ferris wheel!
The wheel ripped loose, tumbling several meters before finally grinding to a stop. Goku ended up dangling awkwardly from its frame as Syn Shenron drifted down to perch on top of it.
"Son Goku—how's that feel?" Syn sneered."I'm not like those other weaklings you fought before, am I?"
Clutching the Ferris wheel in pain, Goku growled through clenched teeth. "Damn it…!"
"You're right," he admitted, forcing himself to his feet. "You're way tougher than the others."
Syn's fingertip gleamed, unleashing a blinding surge of energy."Your end has come!"
A white-blue energy wave roared toward Goku. He leapt away at the last second, landing hard on the amusement park's track. Syn didn't let up—beam after beam fired at him like a hailstorm.
Goku vanished in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was right in front of Syn's stunned face. With lightning speed, he drove a fist straight into him—
BOOM!
The punch blasted Syn backwards, slamming him into the ground with enough force to leave a massive crater. Dust and fire filled the air.
Gripping the Ferris wheel, Goku grinned."Looks to me like it's your end instead!"
He shot into the air, aiming his palms at the pit."Ten Times Kame… Hame… HA!"
Scarlet light lit up the sky as the colossal energy wave slammed downward.
KA-BOOM!
The explosion tore the ground apart, flames bursting sky-high.
"Did I get him?" Goku whispered hopefully.
The smoke slowly thinned. Syn emerged, completely unscathed, smiling coldly."Let me spell it out for you. That didn't even scratch me."
"What?!" Goku's eyes widened."Ten Times Kamehameha didn't work?!"
Syn fired another massive wave. "If that's your best move, you'll never defeat me."
Goku bolted into the sky, the energy wave chasing him relentlessly. No matter how he twisted or turned, it clung to him—
BOOM!
The blast detonated against him, engulfing him in smoke. His body fell from the sky, reverting to his normal state as he crashed to the ground.
Syn strolled toward him, voice dripping with arrogance."Son Goku, your reign as the universe's strongest warrior ends today."
He lifted the limp Goku by the collar."Having me waste time on a brat like you is pathetic. Goodbye."
He hurled Goku toward a deadly spike—
Then—BANG!
An explosion rocked the ground. Out of the smoke, Goten snatched Goku from midair.
"You call that a rescue? Way too reckless, Uub!"
Uub scratched his head sheepishly. "Sorry! Didn't have time to think."
Even half-conscious, Goku could sense their ki. It was Goten and Uub.
Trunks leapt out next, followed by Gohan in his Turtle School gi."Sorry we're late, Dad," Gohan said with a calm smile.
"Everyone's here…" Goku murmured. "But even with all of us together, our chances are less than one in ten thousand."
"We know," Trunks answered firmly. "That's why only you can beat him, Goku."
"Take our Saiyan energy. That's why we came."
Above them, Syn hovered with a mocking grin."What nonsense. You all saw how pitiful he looked just now. You still think he can save the Earth?"
Gohan's eyes burned with conviction."Of course. My dad isn't just the strongest on Earth—he's the strongest in the entire universe."
Gohan, Goten, and Trunks all transformed into Super Saiyans, surrounding Goku and channeling their energy into him. Uub flared with power, standing guard in front.
"Tch… Goku," Syn sneered. "I almost wanted to wait for your power to fully return. But nothing annoys me more than watching desperate, pointless resistance!"
He vanished instantly. Too fast—Uub couldn't react in time.
Syn reappeared in front of Goku, slamming three brutal strikes that sent Gohan, Goten, and Trunks flying.
A heartbeat later, Gohan staggered up, only for Syn to grab him by the head and drive a fist into his gut. Blood spilled from Gohan's lips.
"How's that feel?" Syn mocked."Not what you imagined, huh?"
Uub, Goten, and Trunks rushed to help, but Syn vanished again, reappearing high in the sky.
"Enough. I'll wipe you all out together!"
He hurled a golden energy sphere down at them. It swallowed them whole in a blazing explosion, the shockwave ripping through the park.
Goku instantly teleported away.
As the smoke cleared, Syn smirked at the crater."You're gone. Now it's your turn, Goku."
But then—he sensed ki behind him.
Hovering in the air were Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Uub, still alive, still transferring energy to Goku. Uub stood guard in front, shielding them.
Gohan, focusing on the flow of energy, said quietly, "Guess Dad ended up saving us again."
Meanwhile—Dragon Ball Earth
Bulma watched the monstrous Syn Shenron on the screen, her face pale."Unbelievable… The Dragon Balls turned into something this evil? I found one in my lab, dug into the research, and learned their secret… but I never imagined the very thing we trusted most would betray us like this. What do we do now?"
Goku, arms crossed, shrugged with a wry smile."He's too strong. I don't have a plan either. Guess I'll just have to count on my future self."
Meanwhile—Cardcaptor Sakura's World
Sakura stared at the screen, trembling as it showed battle after battle with terrifying enemies."Why am I seeing this? I'm just a student with a little magic. What can I possibly do?"
Kero fluttered beside her, reassuring."Don't blame yourself, Sakura. These people's power is beyond anything we could imagine. Even if I regained all my strength, I'd probably still be nothing compared to them."
Back in the fight, Goku kept absorbing energy, his aura flaring brighter."Thanks to your power… I've got one more shot, Syn Shenron. You thought you erased us—but all you did was buy us more time."
"So that's it," Syn muttered, realizing."Instant Transmission. Let's see how much ki you can really gather."
Goku roared, golden energy swirling around him like a storm."Give me everything you've got! My body might not hold, but if even Ten Times Kamehameha didn't work… then I've got no choice but to break past Super Saiyan 4 itself!"
Gohan clenched his fists, smiling with pride."I understand, Dad. No matter what, you always find a way to surpass your limits."
Syn lunged at them, snarling."Still clinging to hope? Pathetic."
