Author's note:
Hello my dear readers! This is the first piece of fan fiction that I have written in years. After seeing the movie Battle of the Gods in instantly loved the new characters Lord Beerus and Whis and decided to write a story about them and a OC I have written in. The first two chapters completely follow the movie Battle of the Gods but after that my own story begins. I might write in Resurrection of F as well, we shall see how the story develops. Let me know what you think of my OC Tonks. I'll put up my vision of her on my profile soon. She has long blonde hair without bangs, wears a wine colored thigh-high dress, boots and black leggings. She usually wears a black beret, though she takes it of during fights.
Disclaimer for all upcoming chapters: I do not own the Dragonball franchise. I do own my OC Tonks Briefs.
Battle of a God
Chapter 1
Bulma's weird birthday party.
It was the 18th of August 774, that day marked a very special event in my life. It was the 39th birthday of my sister Bulma, and me and all our friends had gathered in our garden behind the Capsule Corp to celebrate it. Now that wasn't why I thought this day was so special. Bulma's birthdays, though eventful, never really meant that much to me. No, today something happened that would change my life forever. Let me start from the beginning..
"Tonks! Tonks wake up!" I groaned as I pulled the blankets over my head. "Come on Tonks! You have to wake up, mom told me you would help ready the garden before our friends arrived." Sigh. Trunks was right. Once again I let me sister convince me to arrange her birthday party. "All right. All right! I'm up, now stop shaking me already!" I pushed down the blankets and looked at the face of my assailant. Trunks had a huge smile on his face, his hair was disheveled as if he just got out of bed himself and he was still wearing his pajamas. I wondered why he was in such a good mood today. Perhaps it was because his friend Goten came to visit? Trunks always seemed a little lonely without him around. That's why I hung out with him so much, that and the fact that I didn't want to stay cooped up in the labs all day. "Trunks, you should go and get ready yourself. I'm sure your mom won't be happy when she sees you walking around like that." I stepped out of bed and ruffled his hair. Trunks slapped my hand away and jumped on top of my bed. "Aw man! You know I hate it when you do that! I'm not a child anymore, you know!" I smiled. "Oh I know that. 10 is a very mature age. I'm sure we'll have to get you a job soon!" Trunks cringed. "Heh, well maybe being a child isn't that bad, I guess.. Anyway, Mom wanted to see you, she's out in the garden."
"No problem, tell her I'll be with her soon." Trunks nodded. "All right, I'll go tell her. Bye!" With that Trunks ran out of the room. I smiled, I wish I was that energetic in the mornings.
Half an hour later I walked into the garden to find Bulma bossing Yamcha and Oolong around, trying to get them to hang the decorations all over the garden. "Come on guys! Haven't you ever decorated before? It's my birthday party, everything has to be perfect!"
"Come on Bulma, just because they arrived early doesn't mean they aren't our guests." Bulma turned around and looked at me with a stern look on her face. "Well, if you woke up early like I told you to, things would've been done by now!" Busted. "I know.. Just let me handle it from here, all right?" Bulma sighed. "Fine, but make sure everything's perfect. I have something very special planned for today's birthday bingo! Remember?"
"You can count on me!" I bowed and smiled. "I'm going to go look for Vegeta, I haven't seen him around today."
"Oh, I think he's in the gravity room." Bulma's face went red with anger. "WHAT!? If he thinks he can spent the day training he's going to be in for a fight." Bulma balled her fists as she ran out of the garden into the house. Phew. That should distract her for a little while.. Yamcha and Ooland sat down against the stage, relieved. "Thanks Tonks!" Yamcha winked at me. I waved him of and went to check up on the chefs. The guests were going to arrive soon. I wonder if Goku is going to come. The last time I visited the Son family, Gohan told me he went off to train on King Kai's planet. That didn't surprise me. Goku couldn't go a day without training even in peaceful times such as these. I myself was still training as well. I'm nowhere near as powerful as a Saiyan but I sure was more powerful than the others. Even Vegeta agreed to train me every once in a while, though he wasn't always too happy with it. I sighed to myself. Ever since the whole majin buu thing had ended, I really hadn't accomplished much in my life. Sure I hung out in the labs a lot with my dad, but that isn't something I want to do forever. I always figured I was meant for greater things.. "Excuse me, Miss Brief?" I shook my head. I totally forgot about the chef I was talking too. "I'm sorry, what?"
"What do you think of the food, do you think we have prepared enough?" I laughed as I looked over all the food. With all these Saiyans around, I doubt it. "For now, yes. Just make sure the food doesn't run out today." The chef nodded and walked back to the kitchen. "Are you sure that's enough food?" I turned around and smiled as I saw Krillin and his family walk up to me. "Nope." I shook Krillin's hand and welcomed him to the party. "Any word on Goku?"
"Nope, haven't heard from him in a while. I told him about Bulma's birthday 6 months ago, you know how she gets." Krilling laughed. "Yeah! I wouldn't want to see her get mad today, haha!"
"Come, Krillin." Android 18 said in a slightly annoyed tone. It was obvious she didn't want to be here and I couldn't blame her. I wasn't such a fan of these gatherings either. Way too crowded.
A few moments later the Son family arrived. Everyone was here, except for Goku and Vegeta. Bulma sat down in her chair next to the stage. I nudged her on the shoulder and smiled as I handed her a glass of champagne. "Bulma! We would all like to wish you a.. Happy birthday!" Gohan started as the others joined in. They all toasted and smiled. Bulma smiled as she took a sip from her drink. I did too and sat down next to her as I saw Gohan approach us. "Hi Bulma! I hope you're having a wonderful birthday! I'm sorry my dad is not coming. I figure he's still on King Kai's planet to train." Gohan said as he gave her an apologetic look. "WHAT? Not coming? Why would he be training on King Kai's planet on my birthday party?"
"You really need to ask that?" Piccolo said as he leaned onto the table next to us. "Seriously? Tonks send him a save the day more than 6 months ago."
"Well he is kind of oblivious to these sort of things." I said as I took a sip of my champagne. "Hey, uhm, Where's Vegeta?" Gohan said as he looked over the guests. Bulma groaned as she leaned back into her chair. "Looks like he's of training too. I've just about had it with you Saiyans." I smiled and walked over to stand next to Gohan. The sun was out, so why hide out under the shades? "Heya Bulma, happy birthday!" Krillin said as he walked up to us. "Thanks Krillin."
"Say Bulma, between you and me, just how old are you today? Is it a big birthday?" Gohan and I laughed out loudly at that. "Like I'd tell you! Never ask a woman that!"
"Is it true that the prizes in the bingo tournament involve a fully furnished castle and a private luxury jet?" Android 18 asked as Krillin slowly stepped backwards. Bulma smiled. "That's right! But if it's too much trouble, I can give the winner cash instead." Chichi smiled as she sat down next to Bulma. "One of the perks of being the richest person in the world. Oh, I hope that Goku will find time to drop in! At least for the bingo tournament." At that I saw Master Roshi run up to us with a huge grin on his face. "So.. Uhh.. I don't suppose any of those prizes are dirty movies?"
"NO." Bulma sighed as I laughed again. Master Roshi never changed. The little tent we were standing by was getting a little crowded, so I decided to walk around a little. As I did I saw Vegeta sitting down onto a rock next to the stage. "Hey Vegeta! Decided to come to the festivities after all, huh?" Vegeta grunted. Grumpy as ever I guess. "Oh, Good! Your finally here Vegeta!" Bulma said as she walked up behind us. "But this is my birthday not a Halloween party. So why are you sitting around in your combat gear?" Vegeta ignored her and closed his eyes. What's up with him? He seemed nervous. That's weird.. "What's wrong? You look even more sullen than usual. Mad that humans do this little thing called aging and your poor wife is another year older? Forget the powers. The best part of being a Saiyan must be never having to worry about losing your looks." Vegeta stood up annoyed and yelled: "SHUT UP!" I laughed as Everyone seemed surprised at this. Bulma growled in annoyance. "It's my birthday, jerk!"
"Calm down, guys!" I said as I extended my hands and stood in between them. I gave Bulma an apologetic smile as she turned her back to Vegeta who looked like he was about to burst out of his skin. What's wrong with him? Was he really that annoyed by the party? "What's up your but?" Bulma said as she took a sip of her wine and walked of angry. "Ah. Prince Vegeta I presume." I looked around. Where did that voice come from? As I turned around to face the pool I saw a purple catlike creature dressed in Egyptian clothes sit down on one of our patio chairs and a blue skinned man with long white hair standing next to him. Who were they? "You've grown into quite the warrior." The cat said as he put his hand behind his head. "Alas the energy from which you all draw your strength has no effect upon deity's, like myself." Deity? What did he mean by that? I walked over to the cat and decided to introduce myself. "Hi! I haven't seen you around here before. Are you a friend of Vegeta's?" I held out my had for him to shake but the cat merely opened his eye to look at me and smiled. "I suppose you could call it that, yes." He closed his eye again as the man standing next to him shook my hand eagerly. "Hello Ma'am! My name is Whis. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." I smiled. At least they had some manners. Vegeta gasped as he landed in front of us. "Don't tell me you've forgot about Lord Beerus." The cat said as he opened his eyes to look at him. "It's hard to believe even with my great intellect that when we last crossed paths you were just a boy." Just a boy? Just how old was this guy? Beerus raised his finger at Vegeta and smiled. "It feels so recent. It seems like yesterday that your father, King Vegeta, was putting out quite the spread in honor of my arrival." This Beerus guy seemed like quite the person. If King Vegeta honored him, he must be a pretty important guy. Vegeta shook his head. Why was he so nervous? "Beerus the destroyer. My lord." Vegeta took a step back as Beerus stood up. "It looks like you're all enjoying a pleasant spring festivity of some kind. And if I do say, the food smells splendid." I smiled at that. "Thanks! I picked the dishes out myself." Beerus turned to face me with a small smirk on his face. "Is that so? My, you sure have exquisite taste." I blushed. "Uh.. The party, yes. Its honoring my wife's birthday, my lord." Vegeta said. He was acting so strange. Beerus seemed surprised at his statement. "The Prince married? You must introduce me so I can pay my respects."
"Um. Lord Beerus?" Whis poked Beerus on the shoulder, as if he was reminding him of something. "Oh, that's right. I forgot why I'm here.." Beerus floated closer to Vegeta who gasped at this. "In all your travels through space and time have you ever encountered the phrase Super Saiyan God?" Vegeta seemed surprised at his question. "Wait, a Super Saiyan God?"
"So that's a no?" Whis smiled. "Is it possible your prophecy was wrong, Lord Beerus?" Beerus balled his fist as Whis. "I never get such things wrong!" Whis laughed at this. "Hahaha! Replace never with always!" I liked this guy. I smiled as I saw Beerus look slightly annoyed. "Oh, you're putting me in a bad mood Whis.." Vegeta gasped. "So this is who you'd rather talk to then your wife on her birthday?" Bulma said as she walked up the stairs next to us. "Aren't you going to introduce me at least?"
"Uh, yes! Bulma! Bulma this is Lord Beerus! And uhh.." At this Whis smiled as he put a hand on his chest and bowed. "Please madam, call me Whis."
"You guys are old friends, huh? Well I'm Bulma, Vegeta's wife / the birthday girl." Bulma walked up to Whis with a smile on her face. "Don't I look great?" She winked. "Pleasure to meet you Bulma." Both Beerus and Whis smiled and spoke in unison. "Wow! Since when did you make friends with such good manners?" I laughed at this. "It is rare, haha!"
"I know! You're not from around here are you? Probably aliens from another planet, right?" Bulma said as she inspected Whis closer. "OKAY! BYE!" Vegeta said as he pushed Bulma back. I scratched the back of my head. "I always knew he would lose it someday.." I said in a low voice. Beerus chuckled at this. "We're vacationing in a nearby galaxy and happened to sense Prince Vegeta's energy."
"Vacation, huh?" Beerus nodded at me. "Well then! Stick around and see how the Earthlings like to party!" Bulma said as she turned back around to us with Vegeta's hands still on her arm. "The more the merrier I'd say!" Vegeta seemed distressed at this offer. Beerus smiled and stepped forward. "I would hate to impose on your party. But history shows I'm not one to turn down on a banquet of food as delicious smelling as that one."
"Sure, dig in!" I said as I lead the way towards the food stands. "Hey, look guys! Vegeta actually has friends!" Bulma said as she ran towards the others to introduce them. They all seemed to be quite intrigued by Beerus as I walked with him over to the food stands. "So what kind of food would you like?" Beerus hummed and looked at the food in front of us. "What would you recommend, my dear?" I smiled. "I would definitely try out the spaghetti!" Beerus smiled as he took a plate from the chef and sat down on a table near us. I took a plate of my own and said down next to him.
"So, what do you think?" I said as I saw Beerus finish his plate. "My, the food here is absolutely exquisite. Remind me to get the recipe later." I smiled as I finished my own plate. "Sure, no problem." Beerus stood up and held a hand out to me. "My lady, would you care to dance?" I smiled as I took his hand. "It would be my pleasure." We walked over to the dance floor and joined the others in the dance. Beerus was quite the dancer. He seemed to have an Egyptian style to his dances which was to be expected. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely even though Vegeta seemed insanely nervous. Really? What's going on in his head I will never know.. After a few minutes of dancing Mr. Satan interrupted us and spoke up, clearly drunk out of his mind. "Hey, you! Funny looking cat creature!" He pointed at Beerus who was twirling around on his head. "I challenge you to a match of strength!" Beerus stopped his twirling and put his hands next to his head on the ground, intrigued by his request. "A duel?"
"I'll give you a good fight! I'm the champ!" Mr. Satan said as he punched his hands in the air before falling onto his back, unconscious. Videl sighed as she sat down next to him. "Come on, dad! Will you please stop embarrassing me?" I sighed and put a hand behind my head. Poor Videl. "Sorry for his rudeness. He's not good at parties." Everyone laughed at that. I walked over to my previous seat near the stage and sat down. The bingo event was about to start. Beerus and Whis sat down on either side of me. Beerus sighed as turned to face Whis. "I haven't felt even a pinch of Super Saiyan God energy since we came to this planet."
"Why do you want to find this Super Saiyan God?" I asked. Beerus smiled as he leaned back into his chair. "I was very much looking forward to test my strength against him."
"I see. Well if you want we can spar after the festivities are over." Beerus raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Oh really? I think I would enjoy that very much." Whis looked at me with a curious look on his face. "My, you certainly are a special one aren't you? Not many dare to challenge Lord Beerus."
"I haven't sparred with anyone other than Vegeta and Trunks in years. It would be nice to spar with someone else for a change."
"Then spar we shall." Beerus said as he took a bite from the meatballs Whis brought over earlier. Whis smiled and started eating himself as well. "From doing what you humans call mingling, I've learned that the only true Saiyans are Vegeta and Goku. The rest are only half-breeds, children of them correct?" I nodded. "That's right." Whis smiled as he turned to look at the stage. It seems the bingo event had started as Bulma walked up the stage with a microphone in hand. "Now! The highlight of my birthday festivities! It's bingo time!" Three models walked up the stage, two with pictures of the castle and jet in their hands, and one pushing a cart onto the stage. "Now I think we can all agree that the castle and the airplane are amazing prizes but both pale in comparison to the grand prize of: A complete set of all seven Dragonballs!" I sighed. Those were the hardest part of Bulma's birthday preparations. It took me almost a month to collect them with Trunks. "All you have to do is win the tournament and you can get any wish you want granted!" At this most of the people around us cheered. Beerus looked intrigued by this. "Oh? Those Dragonballs resemble planet Namek's wish orbs." I smiled. "That's right. Our guardian of the Earth, Dende, is also a Namekian. He created them."
"It seems quite reasonable." Whis said as he took another bite of the meatballs in front of us. "I recall gathering all seven together summons a dragon then grants the orbs owner any wish he so desires."
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Yamcha yelled suddenly. "I only count six Dragonballs." He's right. I looked at the Dragonballs and noticed the four star ball had gone missing. "Trust me, guys! I swear I counted the full set an hour ago!" Bulma exclaimed in panic. All of the sudden I heard a ruckus behind us. It seems Trunks and his friends were making a scene and the blue skinned child he was with was holding the four star ball. The little black haired girl standing next to Trunks sighed and exclaimed: "I never wanted it to come to this.." She pulled out her gun and held it to Trunks head. What the hell was going on? "You tell him, sir!" She said as she turned to face the blue skinned boy. "All right! Listen up, Folks! If you don't want us to smash this kid into apple sauce you pay us one million Zeni!" Everyone stared down at the kid and I could see he was getting a bit nervous. "Uhh.. A hundred thousand would also work." He said as he held the Dragonball in front of his face. At this everyone chuckled. "What are you jerks laughing about?!" The girl yelled as she pulled Trunks closer to her. "I'll kill him! I mean it!" Beerus looked very confused at the sight before us. "The deluded child is threatening to kill another child, and yet everyone at this party simply laughs?"
"Don't worry. It's probably just some kind of play. I heard she is Trunks's girlfriend." I said as I poured us some more wine. Beerus grunted at this. "We're not goofing around here! Where's the money?!" The blue skinned kid yelled. "Hey, um Mai? I want to break up?" I laughed at this. "Silence, hostage!" Trunks blushed. "But your chest is on my shoulder." Mai was shocked at this a took a step back while still holding onto Trunks. Meanwhile I laughed so hard I almost spilled my drink. "Forget the bingo tournament! This is way more entertaining!" A very drunk Gohan said. "I want to play your hostage game too, you guys!" Gohan jumped up and pushed the button on his watch that turned his clothes into those of Saiyaman. "Those who would commit evil, beware! The all-powerful Great Saiyaman is here to save Trunks from his evil girlfriend!" Gohan said as he took on some of the most ridiculous poses. Beerus closed his eyes and sighed. "How strange is this? How could that oddly dressed man ever be a Super Saiyan God?"
"If you're going to shoot someone young lady, shoot me!"
"I'm not going to shoot you!" Mai said as she pushed the gun closer to Trunks's head. "No, seriously! Shoot me!" Gohan said as he moved closer to them. "You're crazy!" she said as Gohan moved a few steps backwards. "All right then you villains!" He said as he put his hands on his hips. "Fine! You asked for it!" The girl said as she pointed her gun at Gohan and shot all of her bullets at him. Gohan easily deflected them and laughed. "Hah hah! I told you villains to beware! For you are no match for the power of the Great Saiyaman!" Everyone laughed at this as Gohan stepped closer to the kids. "You guys, all this time I thought that was just a pellet gun, but those were really bullets you shot at me! Little kids should never be playing with something so dangerous. If it hadn't been me up there, you would've shot someone!" As if on que Videl fell down and yelled. "I'm shot!" Mr. Satan and Gohan ran over to Videl. "Videl! My baby has been hit!"
"Oh god, Videl! I'm so sorry!" Chichi and Bulma walked over to them, annoyed. "Gohan! Your stupid superman game nearly got your wife killed!" Gohan sat down on his knees and raised his hands in the air. "I'm so so sorry."
"Stand back, let me take a look at her Gohan."
"Oh. Master Roshi? Can you heal her?"
"I can give her mouth to mouth." At this Bulma slapped him in the head. "She doesn't need mouth to mouth! She's shot in the leg! You're a dirty old man! You haven't changed one bit!"
"Oh yeah? Well neither have you! Slapping a respected elder in the head! Shame on you!" At this Dende stepped forward with a smile on his face. "Don't worry, I can heal her. No problem."
"What? What's he doing?!" Mr. Satan panicked. "Need I remind you that you are speaking to the guardian of the earth?" Piccolo sighed as he spoke. "The guardian of the earth? Oh.. uhm yeah. Gues I kind of blocked that out. "You healed it! It's like it never even happened. Thanks Dende!"
"You're welcome, Videl." Dende smiled as he helped her stand up. "Uhm.. Dende? Could you heal me too, I don't feel so good.." I said as I stood up and showed my stomach. Though it didn't hurt much, I was bleeding quite fast. At this Beerus growled and stood up. "Of-Of course!" Dende ran over to me and healed me as fast as he could. "How dare they!" Beerus balled his fists as Vegeta rushed over to him. Whis wiped his mouth with a napkin and sighed. "I take it you're in a bad mood now? Will you destroy Earth?" I turned to look at Beerus once Dende finished healing me. "It's all right. I'm fine." I said as I walked up to him. "I prefer to see it as renewing so it can reach its potential. Because of course before any creation must come destruction." I walked over to Beerus an put a hand on his arm. "Don't worry. It was just an accident." At this Vegeta balled his fists. "All right everyone! Listen up!" He said as he jumped up on the stage. "That little show is over! Now it's time for the main event of Bulma's birthday, the bingo tournament!" At this Vegeta started one of the most ridiculous dance routines I have ever seen. I almost fell out of my chair, I was laughing so hard. "Okay.. Haha! He's been drinking more than Gohan." Whis smiled. "That was certainly something."
"Indeed. I never figured Vegeta for such a poor song and dance man. Though he'd give you a run for your money." Whis frowned at this. "Now you're just being hurtful. Well, let's say we take another orbit around planet buffet-table?" I smiled and stood up. "Good idea."
"Fine."
