Miami, Florida, Universe 8, 2014.
I groaned in agony as I regained consciousness. I was waking up in the driver seat of my crashed car to see the streets of Miami in complete chaos as the police and the military desperately tried to kill the alien invaders while people were fleeing in terror. I didn't know what had happened...one second it was an ordinary day and I was driving to school, and the next thing I knew, with no warning, I was seeing honest-to-God spaceships coming down from the sky and shooting lasers at everyone. Terrified, I had tried to drive away from the carnage, but a semi truck struck the back of my car, causing me to crash into a lamp post, hit my head on the steering wheel and pass out from the pain.
I managed to get my seatbelt off and get the car door open. I rolled out of the wrecked car and got onto my hands and knees to regain myself. From my crouched position, I looked at the chaos surrounding me and could see fish-like people shooting lasers at humans.
"Fuck...not good...I need to get the hell out here and find my parents before the whole city gets destroyed. Well, Gregory Thompson, bet you didn't expect the planet to get invaded by Goddamn aliens," I thought as I stood up and saw the aliens laughing and jeering while they killed police officers and soldiers.
One of the aliens saw me crouched down by my car, grinned sadistically and headed in my direction. I had no doubt what he was planning, so I tried to run but I didn't get far because I must have gotten more hurt in the car accident than I had realized. The pain in my ribs slowed me down right away and I frantically limped and screamed in pain when something hot shot into my leg, causing me to topple onto the street. I frantically looked around for any kind of a weapon to defend myself and spotted a dead cop with a gun. I crawled over to the gun as I heard the alien come up behind me like a predator stalking his prey.
"Aww, the little weakling is trying to escape. This is going to be fun," the alien mocked, just as I reached the gun and grabbed it.
"Stay back or I'll shoot! Do you hear me, you sick bastard?! I'll fucking kill you!" I threatened while I aimed at the alien, who laughed in amusement and kept approaching.
I fired the gun many times and yelped in pain as the pistol hurt my hands by kicking hard. My eyes widened in horror when the bullets deflected off the alien's armor and I trembled in fear. I was suddenly grabbed by the neck and picked up by the alien. He held me up with one hand while I choked and gasped in pain as he hit me in the face and stomach over and over with the other hand.
"How weak...and this planet's race is supposed to be strong? It hasn't already been an hour and already we have wiped out many cities on this planet. Well, might as well put you out of your misery," the alien stated as he got his laser wrist gun ready and aimed at my head.
As I stared at the barrel of the gun, I glared defiantly at the alien and grabbed at his arm to try and force him to let me go.
"Nice try, but you aren't escaping, so die," the alien stated as I gritted my teeth.
Suddenly, I felt a strange feeling rise up inside me and a purple aura surrounded me as I growled and slammed my fist down onto the alien's arm. He howled in agony as the arm broke with a sickening snap. The alien dropped me and clutched his arm in sheer shock as he backed away, catching the attention of his friends and prompting them to head over to us.
"What the hell's wrong with you?" one alien that looked like a humanoid reptile questioned.
"Fucking prick broke my arm! That little shit is a dead man!" the alien exclaimed in a combination of fury and agony.
"Seriously? That pathetic weakling broke your arm? Stand back and let me-" the alien was cut off when I charged and sent him crashing into a wrecked car with a single kick, killing him instantly and causing the others to whip their heads at me in shock and outrage.
"That fucker killed our Captain! Make him suffer and kill him slowly once you're done!" an alien shouted. Many aliens shot at me while I roared and unleashed a purple flame-like aura that caused cracks to appear on the road and sent debris flying.
"Ahhh...it sure is a nice day today," Liquiir thought cheerfully as he lazed around on his beach chair and read a book.
It was a slow day throughout the universe and not a lot of planets were targeted for destruction, allowing the kitsune God of Destruction the opportunity to relax and enjoy some free time. While Liquiir was reading, he recalled the human mortal Stacy Wendell and felt regret for leaving her after they had mated...it had been 18 years since that incredible night and he remembered heading to Earth long before that and taking human form to observe the mortals of the planet. Liquiir grinned fondly as memories of him bumping into Stacy by accident and helping her back up ran through his mind. Stacy had thanked him and it had all started from there.
It was the first time in a long time since the fox God had felt a romantic attachment for anyone, especially a mortal, but Liquiir didn't care since the life of a Destroyer God could be a very lonely existence most of the time. As time went on for him and Stacy, he eventually fell in love and dated her for two years while juggling his duty as a God of Destruction...though his Angel attendant Korn had kept lecturing him that being in a relationship with a mortal would only lead to heartbreak because a God never aged, but mortals grew old and passed on to the Other World. Eventually, Stacy approached him and wanted to take the next step in their relationship, yanking him into the bedroom and what happened next was an amazing experience. Liquiir recalled the pleasurable feeling of mating with Stacy, blushing under his fur since he hadn't expected Stacy to be so dominating and that time had made him feel like he was a mortal again.
After that intense moment between him and Stacy, the Grand Priest contacted him after Stacy fell asleep and said that he knew about his relationship with Stacy due to Korn notifying him about it. Because of Liquiir starting to slack in his duties as a Destroyer God due to focusing on Stacy, the Grand Priest told him with a look of regret that he needed to get back to his duties and Liquiir was forced to make the difficult decision of breaking up with Stacy. Stacy was naturally upset, but Liquiir told a half-truth of having an important job that would cause him to be very busy and that his workplace is very far from the US. In the end, Stacy understood that a long distance relationship wouldn't work between them and they said their goodbyes as Liquiir was leaving.
Then, Liquiir felt something that hit him hard and he gasped as he sat up straight, sensing out of control divine energy coming from somewhere in the universe just as Korn flew down and approached him.
"My Lord, do you feel that?" Korn questioned.
"Yes...I sense the divine energy of a Destroyer God, but it is wild and uncontrollable...Korn, show me where this energy is coming from," Liquiir ordered as he got off the beach chair.
"As you wish, my Lord," Korn agreed and the orb on his staff started glowing.
A holographic picture appeared above the staff to show a human killing armored alien lifeforms in a familiar looking city-Miami on the planet Earth. The human had dirty blonde spiky hair, green eyes, a grey short-sleeved polo shirt, black cargo pants, and white sneakers. Liquiir observed the human killing aliens with single hits while the purple aura of a Destroyer God and lightning whipped around him.
"From what we can see my Lord, the divine energy is coming from that mortal...but it almost feels similar to yours," Korn stated while Liquiir frowned thoughtfully.
"That shouldn't be possible since no mortal can use the power of a Destroyer God without any training...unless...it can't be," Liquiir gasped in realization, causing Korn to arch a brow.
"What is it, my Lord? Did you just think of something?" Korn inquired curiously.
"I need to investigate this matter...Korn, I want you to take me to Earth so that I can figure out what is going on, then I want you to inform the Grand Priest and the other 11 Gods about the situation," Liquiir instructed while he kept staring at the human.
"It shall be done, my Lord," Korn stated as Liquiir placed a hand on his shoulder, the Angel assistant and Destroyer God vanishing from the area as they quickly moved through space.
"Stacy...is it possible that human is my kit? It must've happened when we mated...I have a son and never knew about it," Liquiir thought in shock and felt even more guilty that he missed out on his son's entire childhood.
Now that his son has awoken his destructive power for the first time, he needed to be trained on how to control it since he'll destroy the entire universe if he isn't taught to control his divine abilities.
"I can only hope that he'll accept the truth..." Liquiir thought, still stunned that such a Demigod existed since such a thing had never happened before. Liquiir knew that a few of the more unpleasant Gods of Destruction would not be happy to hear about this.
"Shit! What the hell is he?! We keep shooting him but he just won't fucking die!" an alien exclaimed in frustration as my laser wounds kept healing.
"Just keep fire-" an alien was cut off when I punched a hole into his chest and decapitated him with a swift kick.
"He's not human! Fuck this, I didn't sign up to get slaughtered like an animal!" an alien declared in complete fear and whipped around to run away.
I glared at the coward and raised a hand, formed a purple ball of light and I sent it after the alien. The ball collided with the alien and he screamed in agony as he was being vaporized, the explosion covering the nearby neighborhood and me. The smoke cleared up and the aliens trembled at the sight of me walking to them menacingly with my eyes glowing. Just then a large bipedal Fishman in armor gently lowered down from the sky, smirking arrogantly.
"This is it? This is the Earthling who has been causing trouble for my men? How disappointing...and you all are the elite soldiers of this universe," the alien muttered with a grin.
"General! We can explain-" one alien tried to say, but he shut up and shivered when the Fishman stared at him coldly.
"I didn't ask for any excuses...he's just one puny Earthling and you all are getting killed? Maybe I hired the wrong men for the job...if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself," the alien declared as he moved forward and stood before me.
"Listen up, you incompetent dumbasses! Seeing as how you all failed to kill just one fucking Earthling, I'll handle this and ensure you all suffer for your failure-" the alien boasted. I slammed a fist into his stomach and he started choking as he held his abdomen and stumbled backward in pain.
I rushed forward and pummeled him with rapid strikes, my fists moving like a blur and I sent him crashing into the nearby window of a house with a solid kick.
"Holy shit! H-He just beat the hell out of the General! That's fucking impossible!" an alien stuttered in disbelief just as I felt something approaching the planet.
I looked up to see two figures appearing in the sky out of thin air, lowering to the ground and I saw the aliens looking blue in the face as they stared at the two strangers in terror and recognition. The first individual was a strange looking man with blue skin and brushed back white hair, who was wearing a robe of some kind, a blue ring around his neck, and holding a staff with an orb at the top. The second individual was a humanoid fox with gold fur, white patches on his chest and the bottom of his muzzle, black tipped ears and hands, eyes with yellow scleras, and three tails with white tips. The Fox was wearing red Egyptian clothing, gold bands on his arms, legs, and neck. Finally, he had an ear piercing on his right ear.
Judging from how the aliens were reacting, it looked like they knew these two strangers and are were terrified of them. The Fishman came out of the wreckage and paled when he spotted the two strangers.
"Lord Liquiir! I didn't know you were coming here otherwise I would've prepared a ceremony for your arrival! Forgive me, my Lord!" the Fishman begged as he groveled in front of Liquiir's feet.
Liquiir looked around and spotted me, an expression of curiosity and slight regret crossing his muzzle for a second before staring down at the Fishman with a stoic look.
"General...might I ask why you are attacking this planet without my permission? I don't seem to recall telling you to destroy Earth," the Fox known as Liquiir stated while clasping his hands behind his back.
"Forgive me, my Lord! I was being reckless and didn't mean to draw your ire! Please don't punish my men! They were only following my orders!" the Fishman pleaded as Liquiir looked at the man and seemed to notice something sticking out of his pocket.
"What is that you have in your pocket, General? Show it to me," Liquiir demanded calmly, causing the Fishman to take out a familiar locket.
Liquiir took the locket and opened it to see me, my stepfather, and my mom together with happy smiles, causing the Fox to widen his eyes and said eyes hardened with cold rage.
"Where did you get this, General?" Liquiir interrogated quietly while the air turned cold from tension.
"M-My Lord?" the Fishman inquired hesitantly and flinched when Liquiir glared at him.
"I am in no mood to repeat myself, so where did you get this locket? Do not make me ask again or I'll make things very unpleasant for you," Liquiir threatened as a purple aura formed around him.
"I found it when I invaded a dwelling that belonged to two Earthlings! The male and female put up a good fight, but I eliminated them so that I could have no obstacles when I took the dwelling's riches! Are you satisfied, my Lord? M-My Lord?" the Fishman stuttered when he saw Liquiir trembling with a look of hot fury.
"You have made a grave mistake General, and now you and your men will pay the price for your heinous crimes against me," Liquiir declared coldly, resulting in the aliens to whimper in terror.
"My Lord! What act did I commit against you?! Please tell me so that I can redeem myself!" the Fishman begged.
"Silence, General! No amount of begging or pleading will let you escape your fate! That Earthling female you killed, her name was Stacy and she used to be my mate...what you have done is unforgivable and you must pay the price for your actions! Hakai!" Liquiir snarled as he aimed a pawed hand at the Fishman and his men.
The aliens glowed purple and screamed in agony as they dematerialized, every single invader being wiped from existence while what was left of the police and the military stared in disbelief at the sight. Once the aliens were gone, Liquiir looked up at the spaceships and fired multiple balls of light that destroyed them. I just stared while my new power still flowed around me unchecked until it went away and I started to fall to the ground from exhaustion. Liquiir rushed forward and grabbed me, looking at me in concern while he held me.
"They're gone...mom and dad are dead...oh God," I whimpered and sobbed as I leaned into Liquiir's chest, my tears wetting his fur as I passed out from shock.
Liquiir kept holding the Demigod and lifted him in his arms, the guilt of losing Stacy hitting him hard.
"Stacy...I'm sorry I couldn't save you, but I swear I'll take care of our child and ensure his survival in this new life he's been thrown into," Liquiir vowed internally as he headed over to Korn.
"What are you planning to do with that child, my Lord?" Korn inquired.
"This kit is my son...and it is my duty to ensure that he survives his new status and life. Let us go home so that we can ensure his recovery and train him to control his newly awakened power," Liquiir stated.
"As you wish, my Lord," Korn agreed and they were about to leave, but they were stopped when one of the soldiers called out to them.
"Yes? What do you need?" Liquiir questioned while the mortals stared at him in religious awe.
"What are you? Are you...God?" the soldier asked hesitantly while many mortals did the sign of the cross.
"No...I'm a God, but I'm not your God," Liquiir stated as he stood next to Korn and they vanished into thin air.
While Liquiir and Korn were heading back home, the Fox looked down at the Demigod who was in his arms and just knew that things will be very different from now on...and only time will tell for what the future holds for this child.
A/N So, how did you all like the start of this new story? I've noticed that Liquiir and many of the other Destroyer Gods are not in the character base, so I wanted the Eighth God of Destruction to have a bigger role as a father. I think Greg related to one of the Gods of Destruction is a concept I couldn't help but put down. Also, I just wanted you all to know that the beginning and a couple of chapters in this story is going to take place millions of years before the start of the Dragon Ball series, so be prepared since I wanted Greg to get used to his new life and being trained on how to control his new power. That's all for now everyone, so stay tuned.
