The clashing of gods could not be heard nor seen by the mortal eye. Whis however, was no mortal. Watching with judgement he saw every movement between the two saiyans. With out batting an eye he took notes of how they could improve. With a snap of his fingers, both stopped, yards away form each other in their own stances. Breathing hard the two quickly realized bracelets on their wrists and arms, silver and gold, and with them on, their power levels were merely that of a common earthlings.
"Wha?" Goku asked looking at the bracelets and feeling the weight of power all around him.
"This- This isn't getting us anywhere!" Vegeta yelled and looked at Goku.
"What he do this time?" He asked Whis.
"It ain't me 'geta! Your the one always gettin us in trouble!" Goku yelled back, both slowly edged to the ground, standing on Beeru's planet, feeling naked in power.
"Oh my, calm down you two...its nothing serious, but one of your issues that is growing with your power is...well your focusing on your power- and keep in mind thats not everything now" He almost sang as he watched the butterflies flutter about, un disturbed.
Taking deep breaths both men got their stances and started again, much slower and much harder. The two clashed best they could, but lost their breath faster, and if possible harder. Both wanting to stop for a breather, but none having the ability to do so.
Far far away in a dark galaxy, ignored but not forgotten by the gods. The planets was a swamp, the core deep deep under mud and water. The plants that grew on it floated, or clung to big mud clumps that barely stayed above the water level. Bubbles and some movement could be seen under the slug of water. The disturbance was not unheard of in this mostly lifeless swamp of a world, but this movement caught the attention of Whis.
Ignoring the boys fight he shot his attention to the swamp staring into nothing as he focused on it. His attention only grew harder on it as the movement continued. Vegeta and Goku, growing childish with their weak fight, ignored rules of fighting and started tackling each other, nether wanting to give up.
The tossing and rolling only stopped when Goku took a bit into Vegeta's elbow.
"Kakarot! Biting? Thats low even for you!" He yelled looking at his elbow.
"Well keeping your elbow in my face wasnt great ether!" Goku responded, more so looking at the distracted Whis. Goku attention drew Vegeta's, they stared before getting up and walking over, Vegeta careful no to disturb him.
The mud near the bubbled, moved, the giant ball of mud chad the diameter of a baseball field Screams of air sucked into the mud. Under the mud ball was the dead water, some old air pocketed in the various ridges in the mud. the air sucked in form the top, as the bottom big pockets started to disappear. The smaller pockets were next, the mud ball started to sink.
Looking into his staff Whis looked under the mud ball and was quickly drowning. Noticing the actions, Goku looked over Whis shoulder for a view. Wanting to look, but knowing better Vegeta held back for as long as he could.
In the ball they saw a air pocket, some shuffling happened and a black droopy dog noise poked in, taking the air, and moving to the neck pocket, slowly making its way around the mud ball.
"Whats that?" Goku asked, breaking Whis concentration and view.
"Oh dear" He said to himself as he snapped, the limiting bracelets disappeared and Goku went flying into the distant tree. A small smile grew won Vegeta's face as he watched Goku get himself up.
Whis looked into the ball again, this time seeing a padded paw, but long fingers and thick black claws, sloshing into the mud as it carried its body to the surface, still using the mud for movement. Pushing into the stale swamp air it took a big breath, the air filling its chest, it was covered in slime and mud. Exhaling it let out a bone shivering howl, deep, old and powerful. The trees and mud sunk in front of him from the pressure of the howl, the mud melted off his body.
Turning to Goku and Vegeta whis made the vision go away.
"Its time you two go back to earth, Lord Beerus and I have some buisness to attend too" He said getting ready for them to go.
vegetas brain ran fast as he was thinking.
"What was that you saw? Sense when do we have to leave? Are we not a lot better then before?" he asked. Goku jumped next to Vegeta, with a begging face.
"Is it a fight? I wanna see I wanna see I wanna see" He said poking at Whis.
"You are better, but not good enough, that being said, having a saiyan with us on this account would be the last thing you or I want" He warned.
"Why?" Goku asked, his curiosity eating at him.
"Because I said so" Whis said moving his staff, scrolls feel out and he went threw a few as the guys slowly and unwillingly grabbed some of their things. Finding the one he wanted he stood his back to the saiyans. Disappointed, both grabbed on and they took off. Vegeta spent the time meditating on everything he was learning, thinking of how to continue the training without Whis, sense he wasn't sure how long this absence would go on. Goku spent most of the time finding new ways to ask what was happening and if he could go. getting annoyed Whis pulled out the scroll and started looking through it, ignoring his companions.
getting bored Goku started playing with his breath, in and out real fast his nose, and various other combinations, making noises, with a surprise he shook his head and sneezed loudely and on both Whis and Vegeta.
Both victims of the sneeze flinched in anger and announce, but not a hint of surprise.
"Oh look were there!" Goku yelled teleporting the rest of the way. Whis put the scroll away and with a flick of his wrist, his back and Vegeta was cleaned up.
***EARTH
Bulma was covered in grease stains, and per usual work attire, he had on her green jump suit. Wiping the sweat off her forehead she cranked on a wrench on the new vehicle. Flipping a switch the motor turned on, making some popping noises but figuring itself off and running smoothing.
"HI BULMA BYE BULMA!" Goku yelled as he appeared by her and took off running.
Jumping Bulma fell on her back, dumping her tool box.
"Bye Goku" She said to herself as he got up and started pakcing up the tool box. heading out of her work shop she came face to face with Whis, Vegeta behind him.
"Good morning Bulma, you will have your husband back for a while now, i hope its not to much of a problem" He half jokes. Bulma smiled at Whis.
"not at all, ill take him" She said looking behind Whis to Vegeta. He looked away and hmpfed at her comment.
"Now I must go Mrs Bulma" He said as he turend to leave.
"Wait i got some sweets in a box for you!" She said running to the kitcehn to grab them real quick. By the time she got back he was gone. Feeling a little weird she looked at her husband.
"First Goku's in a hurry now him, what did you do?" She asked, more worried for earths safety.
"I didn't do anything"
"Uhuh" She said crossing her arms "The truth now".
"I didn't do a damn thing!" He yelled walking off to the kitchen.
Digging into some leaf over sin the fridge, he shut the door, his plate loaded, only to see Goku back.
"What do you think he meant? Like because were saiyans we cant go?"
"Thats exactly what he meant" Vegeta replied setting his food on the table, taking a seat and digging in. Goku helped himself to the fridge, getting himself a snack as well.
"Well I don't get how your a' letting this go" Goku said shoving some mashed potatos in his mouth. After a few bites he placed the leaf over container in the microwave.
"nothing to do about it" Vegeta said in between bites.
"Are you hear to continue sparing or just eat our food?" He asked looking as goku loaded another plate up as he waited for the potatos.
"Haha I guess spar- maybe if their is a big fight we can go there and watch" He added.
"With your teleportation?" Vegeta asked.
"A Yeah" Goku replied taking a seat on the other end of the table and digging in.
"Youre still not the best at sensing the God ki's. How pray tell will you sense it and go there?"
"Pray?" Goku asked.
"Pray tell" Vegeta corrected him.
"I think you pray quietly?" Goku asked lost.
"no...pray tell is like..." He paused thinking, "Pray- please, tell- explain"
"pray please tell explain?" Goku repeated, wrong.
"Never mind- explain how you will sense this fight and take us there" Even thoguh it was morning, they two had already gone through a lot and Vegeta lacked the energy to deal with grammar and vocabulary session.
****Beerus Planet
Whis appeared on the grass cleaning his staff and getting ready to wake Lord Beerus. ON his walk to the sleeping chamber he saw Beerus, up, washed, and clothed.
"Lord Beerus, you're awake" He said with a smile. Berrus' tail swung back and forth as his thought process turned.
"Where were you?" He asked then added "You felt it? Saw it?" He was already annoyed.
"Yes, because of that I took the Saiyans home- you woke up by yourself?"
"Ah, yes, the more it moves about and grows back to itself, the harder it was to sleep through" Beerus admitted.
Whis took a look into his staff, getting coordinates on the thing.
"Shall we give him a visit before he leaves his planet? Or let him come to us, he may be half asleep but hes a sure tracker" Whis asked and reminded Beerus. Beerus growled in annoyance.
"You brought food from earth?" he asked eyeing the other. Whis giggled some to himself.
"Not this time Lord Beerus, but we still have ramen, shall we eat and think this over?" He asked. Beerus made about face at no new food but perked up at the mention of the instant noodles. With a nod, he sat back, a chair appearing below him as he waited for Whis to fix him his snack.
The two sat across from each other, eating on the floating table provided by Whis. Time ticked by slowly as Beerus focused on eating first, plan second.
"If we wait to long he will be here...and the scent of saiyans is everywhere" Beerus added, setting the empty cup down and relaxing back "Plus I don't feel like fighting here if it comes to that" Beerus almost purred, looking at his castle and lands. His eyes squinted, as he was still enjoying the full stomach and relaxed area.
"I can clean it up of coarse, Lord beerus, as far as fighting, i doubt the hound will wnat to first thing awake" Whis added.
"Ah he's as lazy as he is smelly" Beerus aloofly added.
"So here it is Lord Beerus?"
"Mmm no. I speaking of smelly, I don't want that dog stench here" With that Whis stood up, Beerus grabbed ahold and they took off.
Landing in the mud swamp, both Whis and Beerus stayed floating, not wanting to touch the ground.
"Your mud prison too good for you know Hound?" Beerus called out. The hound laughed back, through his nose, half heartedly, half asleep.
"Lord Beerus" His voice was deep, it sounded like two people talking at once. Ones voice was rough, smokey and big, the other younger confident and spiteful.
The sat in a throne grown from a tree, loaded with mud and over growth. Yards away from the other, he relaxed back.
His body was long waisted, taking a half man half hound form, his head and feet taking most of the hound form. His paws were drawn out, making fingers with claws, but still held fur and pads. He wore a dark loden green jeans, the crotch lower then normal jeans, giving them a jogger look. He wiggled his padded toes in the mud. Resting his hound head and ears on a out reached branch.
Taking a few sniffs in he managed a smile, his eyes covered by the wrinkles, he only depended on scent and hearing for his whereabouts.
"You smell like Saiyans" He mentioned, the darker deeper voice taking control of his vocals.
Taken back Whis and Beerus looked at each other.
"In your pocket Whis, the paper...smell likes saiyan...body fluids" He mentioned. Whis pulled out the scroll, recalling Goku sneezing on it.
"Youre awake and free for now, don't ruin it by doing anything stupid" Beerus warned the hound. Standing, his body changed, growing into a beast, nothing about him loked human, his head grew larger teeth and sleeker. Yawning he opened his mouth that was much bigger then it would appear, barring his teeth.
"Tsk tsk" He said after his yawn, the younger voice coming forth.
"I was the one who liked the saiyans, I didn't okay their destruction" He added off handedly under his breath. The beast body moved, showing the ripple of muscles, all warming up as he sunk into the mud with his walk, but spreading his claws and pads out, managed to stay on top despite its obvious heavy weight.
His nose opened at the nostrils, folding back open as he moved his head about, landing in the direction of earth.
"Earth" He said. Walking more his body transformed again with the steps, back into a more human figure, his body ripped, lacking fats and warn. His wrinkled about falling off him his sleek hound head looked at Beerus, noting the hands and form he stretched out his hand, keeping the pads but getting a more human like had. Once he was done looking, the wrinkles grew back, covering his eyes, and layering in any venerable spot.
"Dehydrated vegetables?" He asked sniffing around more, getting closer to the two, moving slow form the mud.
"He's referring to the ramen" Whis said understanding the hounds train of thought.
Beerus appaered in front of the hound, his lips curled a little, his cat eyes on the hound, as if warning if he walked any further he was going to get the claws. Stopping the hound tilted his head smelling around more.
"I Have no means of transportation...why come all this way to monitor me?" The hound asked.
"Lies" Beerus hissed. With less then a second, Beerus kicked the hound back, sending him into his thrown of roots and mud, breaking it and sending it to sink. Swimming and crawling back up to the air, he crawled back up to his feet.
"Haha Lord Beerus- its to early for this- I may have lied" He admitted bowing to the cat.
"Pick a form and stay with it" Beerus ordered, annoyed.
"Easier said then done...Ive been asleep for so long...it takes a lot of being awake, and a lot of energy for me to be at my best" He reminded the God of Destruction. With every step the hound would sink into the mud up to his knee. Beerus stayed above the mud, not wanting anything to do with it.
"I want to meet the saiyans you know" He mentioned. Beerus about hissed again, appearing in front of the other, to hit him back again. In that same instance, the hound snapped at Beerus, ending with Beerus' forearm, in the grips of the hounds teeth. Whis watched.
"Don't you dare jump in Whis!" Beerus yelled "I can get this!" He reassured Whis, who had no doubt in his mind Beerus was capable.
Getting inpatient, Beerus grabbed at the throat of the hound, squeezing as hard as he could. The wrinkles moved, making it hard to keep a grip and find the right hold on the throat. Slowly the hound let himself start to sink in the mud, dragging Beerus with him. At the threat of touching the mud, Beerus powered up enough to give the sleepy hound a smack to the nose. Letting go he crawled back up as Beerus reappeared, higher and near Whis.
Arms crosse dover his chest he stared at the hound, glaring at him.
"Perhaps you should sleep more" He said looking at Whis. Whis nodded and pointed his staff at the hound.
"Fine fine...I'm awake" He said. Whis Backed up as Beerus got ready to fight.
Opening his eyes the mud around him started to sink, a heavy matter pulling everything down. The sound of a fog horn went off in the galaxy, and in the neighbor galaxy. Beerus and Whis covered their ears as the mud moved, and the horn sounded. Watching, both would never admit it but they were curious themselves. The hound floated up, his body ripped and thick, but lacked fats. His back was black as his body grew a lighter brown red. Appearing on him were dark silver chains of necklaces and bracelets, leather bands formed on his biceps, his jeans were clean, his his human torso grew tight light a rock. Throwing his ears over his now broad shoulders he smiled, the wrinkles moved from his eyes so he could see their faces, a black fire burning in his eyes His chest cavity fluttered before the winkles covered his eyes, protecting him.
He let out a great howl, bellowing at the two who greater him at his wake. Beerus grabbed Whis and the two took off, but were already affected by the howl.
Landing on a nearby planet they could hear the fog horn but nothing else.
"I didn't see him take a breath in!" Beerus yelled so Whis could hear him.
"I did but i was giving you a chance to fix it!" Whis yelled back. They both stared at each other, nothing to say after that, Whis almost holding back a smile. With a hit form his howl like that, they were lucky to get to the near by planet. Their means of traveling and energy would be down for some time.
"He will go for the saiyans" Whis yelled looking at his staff, that too didn't work for the moment.
"They are on their own" Beerus yelled back sitting back and rubbing his ears. The fog horn effect was starting to wear down, in its absence silence.
