The Third Saiyan

TOP (FINAL)

After being pulled by the grand priest for Thorn to explain his actions from earlier he along with Caulifla were partially restored so that they could at least continue their battle or try to eliminate those that they didn't want to deal with. Thorn landed on the ground holding Caulifla and as he set her down Thorn said to her "It's time we finish this shall we?" She nodded and they both powered up however Caulifla reached her maximum in her Super Saiyan 2 while Thorn accidentally charged up to his Super Saiyan 3 form causing Caulifla to smirk and say "Someone wants to challenge me! Whatever let's do this!" Thorn smirked back and said while making his aura appear "You said it now let's do this!" They clashed their fists and their kicks once again and for once everyone that was still in the tournament which was Jiren, Toppo, Goku, Vegeta, 17 along with Kale to watch them fight. It was a sight to see two Saiyans fighting at their best but Goku knew that Thorn was giving Caulifla they edge due to him fighting but Goku could also tell that Thorn wasn't at full strength either. Vegeta picked up on this and said to Goku before they fought Jiren "Hopefully he doesn't burn himself out before we eliminate Jiren....we're gonna need some of his energy." Goku nodded at this and said to Vegeta and Kale "Listen....we need to focus our powers against Jiren, when I fought him it seemed that he could easily take any punishment we gave him." Vegeta scoffed as usual but Kale was actually thinking of a way to cause some harm to Jiren and have a win for either her universe or for Universe 7. Thorn clashed once more with Caulifla and then they were interrupted by Jiren arriving and saying to the Saiyans "This is over, I will end your fight now." Thorn motioned for Caulifla to end their fight as he said to Jiren "I was wondering when you'd show up Jiren. You finally came to give me a proper fight this time!" Thorn powered up to his Royal Blue form as did Vegeta and Goku powered up to Kaioken Blue as they walked over to Jiren. Caulifla watched this and she was impressed by Universe 7 fight against someone that they knew was a huge threat to their chance of success. Thorn paused which Caulifla spotted and she saw his face change from being intense and ready to fight to a look of being proud, she watched as the man she learned a bit more about her transformations went into battle against a mighty foe. Thorn powered up to his max and as he did Goku and Vegeta arrived while powering up to their max as well, Goku said to Thorn while being a sarcastic "Mind If we join in?" Thorn smirked and said while taking a fighting stance against Jiren "Not at all Goku....let's do this you two, we need to win not just for us but for Universe 6." Vegeta smirked and said to Thorn while taking his respective stance "You just want to save your girlfriend don't you?" Thorn blushed slightly and said "Focus on the task at hand Vegeta." A chuckle escaped the Prince as Thorn and Caulifla were blushing slightly after he said that, the fighters were at their max and just before they went to fight Jiren Caulifla and Kale arrived to help along with Android 17. Thorn looked at his friends and this caused a smile to form while saying "My friends....let's do this!" They each rushed Jiren but the main three were Goku, Vegeta and Thorn as their highest form was either the Royal Blue or the Kaioken Blue. Jiren was able to block Goku's attacks but Vegeta and Thorn were able to land some punches or kicks on the Pride Trooper, Jiren powered up and began to fight much harder and this caused Caulifla and Kale to fuse into Kefla using the Potara. Thorn looked at Goku and Vegeta while saying to them "Forgive me for this guys....but we need to take this bastard down." His hands reached into the sky and he said to the fighters that he caused a respectable impact on as well as his friends that were eliminated for some energy as he was going to make a spirit bomb and then he would fire it at Jiren. However Thorn's plan wasn't to use the spirit bomb on Jiren but rather he would use it to fuel his energy and be able use the Final Kamehameha on Jiren as he knew that attack had a lot of power behind it but it also had one fatal flaw; in order to use the attack you also need a huge pool of energy behind the attack. Thorn closed his eyes and thought to himself (This has to work otherwise we can kiss our lives goodbye! Goku....Vegeta....If this doesn't work then I'm proud to have met you guys...) As the spirit bomb was gathering the energy that Thorn wanted, Goku along with Vegeta and Kefla were trying to give Jiren occupied while Android 17 was waiting for stray blasts by using his shield to cover Thorn. As he was gathering the energy Thorn said to 17 "Thanks for the cover 17, hopefully this works." 17 looked over his shoulder and said to the Saiyan in a calming tone "Don't worry yourself if it doesn't work, you have a way to gain energy as long as I'm around to help you remember?" Thorn thought for a moment and then he realized that 17 was right because of the fact that both 17 and 18 were designed to have limitless energy so in theory at least Thorn could take as much as he needed from 17 and it wouldn't do any harm. As the spirit bomb took shape Thorn watched Goku he sent flying while Vegeta and Kefla were doing what they could to hold Jiren back, Thorn could be seen looking rather angry at the fact that he wasn't fighting but he knew that the energy he was gathering would help him defeat Jiren but he needed as much as he could get. After a few more minutes the energy was gathered and Thorn began the process of absorbing the energy which for him was both painful yet somehow he was actually the enjoying the pain and then it hit everyone that knew him including himself, Thorn thrives on the thrill of battle as the pain both physically and mentally wear normal people down for Thorn it's a fuel source for his energy. Goku still down looked over at Thorn and while Thorn May have been in his Royal Blue form after absorbing the energy from the bomb, Goku thought to himself (Amazing! When I did that I wasn't half as strong as he is now and yet he makes it look easy!) Thorn appeared next Goku and said to him while helping him up "Its time we end this Goku, we can't keep this up." Goku nodded and then he felt his energy increase as he saw Thorn give some of his energy to Goku, while it may not have given Goku all his energy back it was enough for Goku to at least power back up to his Blue form. Jiren arrived as did Vegeta and Kefla however Vegeta was worse for wear as he was doing all he could to keep Jiren back, Just then Vegeta dropped his Royal Blue form and Jiren eliminated him. Thorn looked over at Vegeta flying from the ring and his anger began to rise as his mentor was being sent to the stands to watch the fight, Thorn looked over at Jiren and said to him "You....bastard I'm gonna make you pay!" Then this happened to Thorn:
