Welcome to Gaia! ::

Goku shifted to the side, dodging the buoy, but directly in the path of Superman's heat vision. However, Goku had a plan in mind. Placing both hands in front of him, one on top of the other, the heat vision blast came straight into contact with his palms. I can't keep this up for much longer! Thought Goku, as the blast was slightly incinerating his hands, causing smoke to be created. Knowing Superman was coming in behind him, Goku cupped his hands with the contained heat vision blast inside. The Saiyan worried that the blast would die out, therefore he wasted no more time. Let's see how you handle your own attack! Thought Goku, as he threw his hands forward, both palms aimed at Superman, as the heat vision blast soared straight for the Man of Steel.

That didn't work too well . . . Thought Goku, at the same time being smashed on top of his head with the buoy. "Ouch! That hurt!" Yelled Goku, as the buoy shattered. As Goku backed up from the hit, now facing Superman, he explained something. "I fought an entire army, single handedly, as a child. I've been hit with harder than that. No matter how hard that buoy was swung, it would have broken. You were better off with the ship and the mountain." Said Goku with a smile, placing his hand on the back of his head. At the same time, without warning, Goku instantly vanished, once more using a zanzoken. This time instead of appearing in a hard-to-hit spot, Goku showed up mere inches away from Superman, attempting a headbutt to the Kryptonian's forehead.

The sudden vision impairment caught Goku by surprise. Knowing that looking around served no purpose, the Saiyan closed his eyes, using sound and energy sensing to figure out what Superman would do next. The first thing he heard was an abrupt splash in the water, followed by another one. Goku presumed that Superman had entered then exited. The Z Fighter soon took notice of the Kryptonian rapidly closing in on him, though his reaction was a split second too late, as he was clipped on the foot by the Man of Steel, losing his balance.

((No problem.))

Though off balance, Goku could see the incoming ship headed towards him. Knowing it lacked a great amount of speed, Goku held out both hands, as the ship came into contact with them. Tilting his body backwards, Goku made a quick half-flipping motion, making his body somewhat parallel to the ground, as he sent the ship far into the distance behind him, crashing into the ground with a loud bang. After re-gaining his composure, Goku was able to catch the second half of what Superman was creating. The end result confused him, as he had no idea what the Man of Steel was planning to do with a giant glass cube. Deciding not to take the risk of waiting for the Kryptonian to make the first move, Goku burst downwards to the ground, shooting five ki bombs ahead of him as he progressed, eventually cocking his fist and preparing to strike after seeing the result of his ki assault.

((Alright, seems reasonable enough to me.))

Knowing exactly how do deal with his own attack, Goku extended both hands, as the ki bombs came into contact one by one, causing some damage, but rather minimal. As the smoke from the deflected attacks cleared, Goku could be seen already coming in behind deflected ki assault with his fist cocked, and Goku did not plan to dodge nor block the potential strike which his opponent was preparing. As the gap between the Saiyan and the Kryptonian closed, Goku roared, preparing to drive his fist into his opponent's ribs, just as Superman managed to land the hit before him. Having the wind knocked out of him, the Z Fighter gasped for air, as he was off guard for a split second. Refusing to be hit again due to a previous strike, Goku mentally blocked off the pain as best as he could, and switched from his original plan to strike with his fist, as he raised his knee with alarming speed, attempting to jam it into the Man of Steel's chin.

Due to the intense sand tornado, Goku has much trouble seeing, and was struck by both boulders causing a significant amount of damage, as he was not prepared to block them in any way. Just as the Saiyan was knocked upwards from the hit, the tornado pulled him back to the center. I can't stay in here forever. There's only a few options left. At first the Z Fighter planned to send out a massive burst of ki aura, dispelling the tornado, however he realized a way to escape unconditionally and possibly damage his opponent at the same time. "Ka . . . me . . ." Said Goku, as he managed to open is eyes for the few seconds he needed. He tilted his body downwards with his cupped hands at his hip, forming a bright blue ball of ki which sent light beams through the openings of his fingers. His bright golden aura now began to flare up and surround him. discintegrating some sand around him. "Ha . . . me . . . HA!!" Roared the Z Fighter, as he hurled the massive blue wave of ki downwards, knowing that whether the Man of Steel was hit or not, he would fly out of the top of the sand tornado.
