Reborn As Vegeta

Vegeta got into his fighting stance and closed his eyes again, Hit placed his hands in his pockets as he faced Vegeta and said, "Well, now, do you think you can beat me without transforming?"

Vegeta didn't say anything in response, he focused on his senses and let his body completely relax.

"Move without thinking, attack without restraint." Vegeta let out a breath of fresh air, the sounds of Kibo still hammering away on his anvil created a strange tempo that forced Vegeta into a trance-like state.

Vegeta dashed forward and swung out with his fist, Hit stood in place as he waited for Vegeta to get close enough, the moment Vegeta came into contact with Hit, Vegeta's fist passed through him like a mirage.

Hit's fist appeared aiming for the side of Vegeta's chin, Vegeta tilted his head and felt a burning sensation run across his cheek.

Hit was surprised as he saw Vegeta's leg aiming for his waist, Hit activated his time skip and once more attempted to knock Vegeta out by hitting his head.

Vegeta placed his open hand out and gently guided Hit's fist behind him, Hit then felt his stomach burn as Vegeta's knee stretched out his stomach and forced him to keel over.

"He's actually landing attacks, but unlike earlier when he fought that other Saiyan, I don't sense the power of Ultra Instinct." Beerus tapped his tail against the stone seats.

Whis smiled, "He's trying to incorporate his offense into his Ultra Instinct Training. Vegeta's progress is very impressive." Whis turned to Beerus and said, "He may even master it before you do."

Beerus grunted as he said, "It's not that easy."

Vegeta felt his skin burn again as Hit managed to improve his Time Skip's limit by half a second.

Smoke ran off his cheek once again, the bruise quickly healed as Vegeta appeared in front of Hit and created a wave of heat that blasted out from his punch.

A light bluish-white aura erupted from Vegeta as his hair slightly waved in the wind, he opened his eyes revealing his glowing yellow irises, Vegeta let out a loud shout as his aura exploded outward.

He looked at his own hands and flexed his fingers into a grip and then back outward.

"Omen State!" Kibo said as he looked at Vegeta in surprise, the power surging off of Vegeta caused shockwaves all across the universe.

Everyone at the tournament was stunned, Goku especially, his eyes glittered as he gripped his fists, "So that's Ultra Instinct?!"

Whis smiled as he looked over at Beerus and said, "Well now, to think he managed to get to this point through his own methods. Vegeta you really are, quite the genius."

Beerus and Champa had wide eyes as they stared at Vegeta, "How!?"

Vados chuckled, "I don't know why you're surprised Beerus, after all, you've already managed to reach Minor Mastery over Ultra Instinct."

Champa looked at Beerus as he lifted his brow and said, "You...managed to achieve that?"

Beerus turned his attention back towards the fight, "None of your business!"

Champa was stunned, he then gripped his fist until his knuckles popped, thinking, "Has he really pulled that far ahead?"

"What is that form?" Cabba shouted.

"It's the precursor to the God's most famous technique, Ultra Instinct," Vados announced to her team.

Cabba's eyes turned wide as he stared back at the person that he considered his Master, he let out a gulp, "Well, I guess I'll just have to push my self even farther."

Vegeta was still trying to capture the sensation of using Ultra Instinct, he felt like all of his Saiyan Forms had collapsed into this single technique, his energy was constantly rising and his base form was absorbing the energy of Ultra Instinct Omen.

Vegeta then looked at Hit and said, "Please, I think you have the greatest chance to push me to the next stage." Vegeta then turned to Champa and said, "Can we allow this to become a Death Match?"

Hit raised his brow, "What are you up to?"

Vegeta was beginning to acclimate to this Omen Form when he said, "You can't use all your techniques in this fight, right? You seem to be holding back quite a bit."

Champa tilted his head and said, "Beerus what's your opinion?"

Beerus looked surprised at his brother's question and then turned to Vegeta and said, "Are you confident?"

Vegeta nodded his head before said, "Do you think I'll lose in this state?"

Beerus laughed at Vegeta, seeing this form he realized that Vegeta had indeed become his rival that the Oracle Fish mentioned, if he trained with him, his power that had stagnated for so long would begin to grow, "We allow it."

Hit looked a bit puzzled but then turned back to Vegeta and said, "Hmph! Don't regret this."

Vegeta faced Hit and said, "Don't worry just come at me with everything you have."

Hit took his hands out of his pocket and started to power up, everyone was shocked to feel Hit's full power, Kibo paused his forging for a second and said, "Not bad, but his Understanding of Time Manipulation is way worse than Bourto's."

Vegeta nodded his head and said, "Good, now come at me with everything you have."

Hit jumped towards Vegeta, he was slowing the time around Vegeta and increasing the speed of time around his own body.

He moved to kick Vegeta's head and was stunned as he saw Vegeta keeping up with him, Vegeta blocked his kick with an elbow guard and then punched out towards Hit's face.

Hit raised his guard into a cross block and felt Vegeta's fist slam against his arm sending him flying back, Hit's feet slid across the ground as the friction created a small trail of smoke along the way.

Hit lowered his arms and then said, "Impressive."

Vegeta said, "Now that you understand, quit holding back."

Hit suddenly disappeared, he paused time for a single second, his hands turned into a pair of blades as he charged towards Vegeta, and when he was about to pierce through Vegeta's c.h.e.s.t, Hit saw the Saiyan's eyes shift over to his position.

"Impossible!" Hit thought as he shot his hands out, Vegeta raised his hand up and grabbed Hit's hand the very moment it touched his armor.

Hit felt like he had run into a brick wall, Vegeta's grip held on tightly as Hit raised his leg up to kick Vegeta's head.

Vegeta blocked with his free arm and sent his elbow into Hit's shin.

Hit then shifted his body to strike out with his second blade hand, Vegeta opened his mouth and roared as a Ki-Beam shot out and slammed into Hit's body.

Hit flew back and coughed up a mouth full of air as he teleported to Vegeta's side, he struck out and hit Vegeta arm, the two clashed as Vegeta leaned to the side and ended up with only a scratch.

Raising his knee Vegeta aimed for Hit's gut, while Hit tired to follow up with a stabbing motion towards Vegeta's neck.

Vegeta tilted his head and ended up with a scratch again as he threw his hand out and grabbed Hit's hand a second away from it touching his neck.

Once again Vegeta felt time grow sluggish around, "Annoying, I'll just break it!"

Vegeta fluxed his energy and forced Hit to land back on the ground, the two stood in place as their auras started to climb to the sky.

Vegeta held on to his hand that was targeting his throat and the other that was aiming for his heart.

The ground beneath them started to crack forcing them to separate and take their battle to the sky.

Kibo frowned and said, "Well, we can't have that!" He slammed the remaining piece of living steel into the arena.

The bone-white hammer covered the arena in a grey mist that mixed into the stone-like platform, within seconds, the living metal took shape and infused itself into the arena grounds.

"That should be useful," Kibo said as a loud explosion rocked the space around them.

The two fighting in the air collided dozens of times, each time Hit was growing stronger and stronger.

Beerus frowned as he said, "What's Vegeta doing!?"

Goku saw that Vegeta had several tiny cuts that healed almost instantly, "With his mastery, shouldn't he be dodging these attacks?"

Whis smiled and said, "Vegeta's trying something different."

Beerus looked at Whis then Vegeta and said, "Ohh! I get it."

Goku scratched his head as he said, "What is it?"

Whis smiled and said, "Vegeta is taking a more offensive stance to this precursor form, risking death to better land blows, he's using this method to stimulate his ability to grow under crisis and master Ultra Instinct. Unfortunately, it appears Vegeta has been restoring Hit's stamina over the entire match."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that, they looked back to the Vegeta growing in momentum.

"That Hit is learning very quickly, his power is actually able to grow this much is really surprising," Goku stated as he stared at the fight.

Whis nodded his head, "Yes, to think that just allowing him to stay at the peak of his health in the middle of combat is allowing Hit to improve by leaps and bounds."

Vegeta grinned as he felt like his body was constantly evolving, with his Auto-Heal Spell active, Vegeta could quickly heal his wounds and by casting heal on his opponent, Hit's stamina was constantly at its peak.

Being able to experience the constant use of his Time Manipulation without tiring was a great experience for him, his original one-second limit stretched out into five seconds.

Vegeta blocked and countered Hit's attack every time they came to trade blows, Hit was smiling as he targeted all of Vegeta's vitals, the threat of death remained over Vegeta then entire match, however, it was clear to Hit, he could have lost at any second.

Vegeta was using him as a whetstone to sharpen his Ultra Instinct Technique.

Each attack made Vegeta's base form grow wildly, and Hit had to force his power to grow in response, his potential was being pulled out to the fullest as normally using his time powers drained him of stamina.

The two slammed back onto the ground and started to exchange blows, Vegeta slammed his fist into Hit's c.h.e.s.t and dodged a sharp cut to his c.h.e.s.t by a mere inch, Vegeta then spun around and aimed his knee at Hit's head.

Hit placed his elbow out and blocked Vegeta's Knee and struck out at his hip, attempting to cleave of Vegeta's leg.

Vegeta slammed into the arena and jumped up dodging the attack, a powerful Ki blast shot towards Hit and blasted the ground as Hit Time Skipped to end up behind Vegeta.

Vegeta tilted his head to the side as Hit's hand skirted past his cheek, Vegeta then grabbed Hit's arm, flipped him over his body with a powerful swinging motion, and slammed Hit's back into the ground.

The ground rumbled but the arena stayed intact, Whis applauded Kibo's technique as Vegeta then lifted Hit back into the air and attempted to slam him into the ground again, Hit shook off the damage as he quickly repositioned himself mid-swing and tried to kick Vegeta's head with both of his feet.

Vegeta quickly altered his grip and forced Hit's kick to miss, he then continued to wave Hit's body around and managed to slam his back into the arena again.

Hit coughed up a bit of blood as he tried to force himself free, suddenly he felt Vegeta's tumb put a bit of pressure on him in a strange way. It was like Vegeta could force a reaction from his muscules through his tumb alone, controlling his every move from a simple grasp.

Hit quickly began to analyze Vegeta's strange new fighting style and took a deep breath as he froze time the moment Vegeta's grip loosened.

Hit quickly pulled out his hand and struck out with everything he had; when he noticed something was off.

Vegeta started to feel his Mana getting weaker, he let out a sigh as he said, "Well, I guess this is as far as I can take this match."

Vegeta then powered up and suddenly appeared behind Hit, Hit tried to activate his time stop, however, Vegeta broke through his control with pure strength, a powerful chop slammed into the back of his neck, knocking him out in an instant."

Vegeta looked over at the shocked audience, he let out a breath of fresh air as he powered down, while he was announced the winner, Vegeta dove into his own consciousness and recalled the Omen Form.

Once more he successfully tapped into this form, his body roared with energy as everyone was surprised.

"To think he can consciously activate this form. Is this some unknown trait of the Saiyans?" Whis thought as he stared at Vegeta.

Goku looked eager to fight Vegeta; when suddenly, Kibo sensed something that made his skin drip in a cold sweat, as Vegeta powered back down, Kibo peered over to see the one and only All-Chan standing a few feet away.
