Beerus and Goku in his newly acquired Super Saiyan God form
are hovering across from each other. Down below, Goku's
family, friends and allies are looking up in amazement.
'So, you broke through the wall of your limits again, Kakarrot,'
Vegeta thinks, clenching his fists in annoyance.
The two gods exchange threatening looks. There is no need
for words right now. There is only one way out of this: a
fight till one of them dies.
They rush to each other. Their elbows collide in the first
exchange of the battle. They stay like that for a while, with
the elbows touching each other, not really trying to push back
each other, but rather still just feeling out each other. They
exchange unfriendly smiles.
'So, how do you feel now that you have entered the realm
of gods' power?' Beerus asks.
'Not bad, I guess,' Goku chuckles. 'But...'
'But what?' Beerus asks.
Instead of answering, Goku punches him in the face, hurling
him away. By the time the annoyed Beerus has managed to
correct himself, his lip bust open on the spot Goku punched
him, Goku is already behind him. Instead of exploiting that
opportunity to hit him again, Goku just taps his shoulder with
his finger, making the cat formed god turn his eyes, and,
continuing his last sentence, says, '... but you should be more
focused when fighting.'
With an inarticulate cry, Beerus turns around and throws a
spinning punch, but Goku dodges it by vanishing from view.
Beerus vanishes from view as well.
The fight continues, with the stupefied audience down below
trying to watch. But they cannot see anything. They can only
hear the sonicbooms in the air and feel the two limitless, divine
powers moving around. Whiss is the only one who does not
seem shocked in the slightest. 'Lord Beerus is still far from
using his full power,' he thinks.
Meanwhile, the two fighting gods are moving around at such
high speeds that they've practically turned the whole planet
in their arena. One moment they're fighting in a city, the next
in a desert. One moment they're fighting in a jungle, the next
in the arctic circle. Mountains and buildings crumble around
them. Whiss can see and feel everything without moving from
the point he's standing, next to Goku's allies!
At some point, when they're fighting in a cavern underground,
they stop to take a break. 'Was that enough of a warm up?'
Beerus asks. 'For I'm about to get serious. I hope you haven't
been serious already, or you're doomed.'
Goku smiles. 'I'm about to show you more as well,' he says.
'But let's take the fight somewhere far from Earth. I don't
want us to cause any more damages to the planet I have
lived on and come to love.'
'This is not my problem,' Beerus smiles maliciously. 'We are
fine where we are. The fight shall go on here, either you like
it or n...'
Before he can finish that sentence, Goku fires a kiai that
launches the surprised Beerus into outer space. Right away,
the Super Saiyan God soars into the sky to meet his
adversary.
'Oh ho ho, Lord Beerus keeps getting off guard,' Whiss thinks.
'He's even rustier than I thought.'
Beerus corrects himself in outer space and lets out an angry
scream as Goku appears and hovers across from him. In his
god form, the Saiyan can survive outside of a planet's
atmosphere.
'You'll pay for your insolence,' the god of destruction growls.
He starts raising his chi, his purple aura becoming more
intense. Goku raises his chi as well, his red aura getting more
intense. The two gods rush to each other anew.
Back on Earth, nobody but Whiss can tell anything about
what is going on other than the fact that two powers beyond
the realms of their comprehension are clashing in outer space.
'Their powers may be equal,' the blue servant analyzes the
fight in his head, 'but, in terms of fighting technique, Goku
makes Lord Beerus look like an infant. He's a warrior who has
polished his skills through tough battles all his life, as opposed
to Lord Beerus, who has lived a lazy life, his most intense
workout being the times he terrorized and killed inferior beings.'
The two fighters are taking one more break. Goku has a
haughty, relaxed expression. Beerus is snarling angrily. How
long is this going to go on? Every time he increases his chi
intending to wrap things up, the Saiyan immediately increases
his chi as well to match his!
'Getting nervous, Beerus?' Goku asks with a provoking smile.
'SHUT UP!' the purple god yells. 'You have only seen 70% of
my power. But enough of being nice. I'll show you my absolute
max, NOW.'
'Do it,' Goku further provokes him and clenches his fists, about
to raise his aura as well. 'Let's go all out. No holds barred!'
The two warriors start yelling, causing their respective auras
to rise. Finally, after they've made sure there is not an ounce
of reserves in their bodies that is still untapped into, they look
at each other meaningfully.
'Final round!' they cry almost in unison and rush to each other.
Merely the sonicboom produced by their fists colliding is causing
planets around to crumble!
Back on Earth, everybody is looking at the sky, which is
rapidly alternating between various colors.
'What is happening?' Mr Satan cries in shock.
'Oh ho ho, that's what happens when two divine powers
clash. The fabric of the universe itself is in danger,' Whiss
thinks, not really caring about the universes fate.
'Goku, hurry and finish off that jerk,' Chichi yells, being able
to tell more or less that something bad is happening.
King Kai is trying to watch the fight from his planet. 'If this
goes on, reality might be warped any minute,' he says to
his monkey, Bubbles, as if it can understand. 'GOKU, YOU
HAVE TO END THIS NOW!'
Right now, in the part of outer space where the battle of
the gods is taking place, we can see Beerus bent over, eyes
bulged and mouth wide open. One more of Goku's hits has
slipped past his defenses; this time, the blow has connected
to his guts.
Goku nobly pulls back and waits for the opponent to recover.
'Heh, I've got this in the bag,' the Saiyan thinks. 'This guy
is just a super powerful jerk. His fighting ability is mediocre to
amateurish.'
Beerus raises his head. He looks at Goku. This exasperatingly
confident expression! Oh, he wants to rip that head off so bad!
'Just wanting to win is not enough,' Goku says, as if he read the
god's thoughts. 'You have to go and attend some real martial
arts classes...'
'SHUT UP!' Beerus screams. He lowers his head and clenches
his fists in a cursing manner. Goku smiles, being amused that
the god of destruction has lost his cool.
'No, no, no, I refuse to believe that I have lost my fighting
instincts,' Beerus says in his head. 'I'm not rusty! Whiss is
wrong! I'm still a warrior. I can still develop winning strategies.'
He looks back at Goku and... smiles! Goku is surprised for a
moment. Beerus raises his arms and starts forming a huge
energy ball. Its color makes it look like a small sun.
Goku smiles back. 'Heh. So you want a beam clash? Fine.
KAA... MEEE... HAAA... MEEE...'
'Perfect,' Beerus thinks with an evil smile. 'He believes that
I intend to throw my giant ball at him. At the last moment,
I'm going to throw this ball down below at the Earth instead!'
Beerus is waiting patiently for Goku to fully charge his energy
wave. He must act the right moment, aka when he hears
Goku yelling 'HAAA'. If he fires too soon, Goku will teleport
with his charged kamehameha below the death ball and
counter it with his fully charged blast. But, if he fires one
fraction of a moment after Goku has released his own blast,
Goku will have to dissipate the kamehameha and teleport
below the death ball bare handed, without the time to
charge a new blast.
'...HAAA!' Goku finally yells.
The fraction of a moment he hears the 'HAAA' Beerus throws
the death ball to the Earth and, the very next fraction, rotates
his own body to dodge the upcoming kamehameha blast, which
passes by him, barely grazing his fur. Ah, perfect timing!
By the time Goku has realized what is going on, the kamehameha
is already miles away; too late to swerve it to follow the ball's
path. Goku lowers his eyes and widens them, looking at the
deadly ball plunging towards the planet he loves. He has no
other choice but to dissipate his blast and use instant
transmission.
Goku teleports below the ball. He has no time to charge another
full power kamehameha. He could charge a smaller one, but,
in those fractions of a second, with almost no time to think,
he judges that the best choice is to try to catch the enormous
ball bare handed. And so he does.
'This was low, Beerus,' Goku yells as he struggles.
'According to my rules, it wasn't,' the god of destruction chuckles,
enjoying the spectacle with his arms behind his back.
Goku feels being pushed back. His hands are burning. His vision
is gradually being lost, as the deadly brightness engulfs him.
'I was a fool,' he thinks. 'I was dominating this fight. Why did
I take the unnecessary risk to accept a challenge to settle this
with a beam clash? Curse my... gnnnn... arrogance...'
Goku is now panicked. It seems the death ball will totally engulf
and annihilate him, then it will continue its route to Earth. It
seems that it's all over. But he has to do something! He doesn't
know what, but he has to!
He starts having hallucinations. He's not fully passed out. His
vision is blurred by the brightness around him. Dreams blend
with reality. He sees his loved ones screaming in agony as
the ball hits the planet while he's a ghost and can no longer
help them. He sees Beerus laughing evilly. 'NO, I WON'T
ALLOW THIS FUTURE TO COME TRUE,' he yells.
The death ball explodes. Beerus widens his eyes. What
happened? Did the ball explode with the foe? No, wait, Goku
is still there, hovering in his red aura! There is a force field
around him.
'H-HOW?' Beerus yells hysterically. 'How did you create a
force field under those conditions? This just isn't possible!'
Goku smiles as the barrier around him, which is no longer
necessary, dissipates. 'Sometimes, fighting for people you
love can lead you to do the impossible.'
'I don't understand. Explain,' Beerus demands.
Goku sighs while keeping up his smile. How could such a
being ever understand what caring for someone other than
yourself is like?
Without bothering further answering, he rushes to the god
so fast that not even the careless Beerus saw him!
Catching the purple deity off guard for the umpteenth time
today, he starts knocking him around in outer space with a
series of punches and kicks. The supposedly omnipotent
god of destruction is right now practically a soccer ball in
the hands of the red god!
Finally, as the helpless cat is hurled away, unable to stop
his involuntary course and correct himself, Goku takes aim:
'KAAA... MEEE... HAAA... MEEEE... HAAAAAA!' The blast hits
head on! The defeated Beerus starts falling towards the
Earth.
Goku is descending as well, at a relaxed pace, with a
victorious smile.
Beerus ends up back on Earth, on the ground, right in front of
Goku's allies. During the fall, the Saiyan had to catch his foe
many times, letting him continue falling after every time, so
that his impact with the ground wouldn't create any big crater
close to where his friends were.
The Z group are cheering and crying in joy as the victorious
Goku lands as well, seconds after Beerus has touched the
ground, with his Super Saiyan God aura still on.
Barely conscious, struggling not to pass out, Beerus cannot
believe that he, a god of destruction, fought with everything
he had and still lost to a creature coming from the mortal
realm!
Goku extends his arm, as if he's about to shoot Beerus.
The purple god's eyes slightly widen. 'Will you kill me?'
he enquires.
Goku ponders it for a moment. There was a time in his life
he would have spared the enemy's life in such a situation.
But not anymore! I mean, he spared Freeza and what was
the result? He attacked the Earth, along with his father, and
was about to kill Earthlings; lives could have been lost that
day because of Goku having been kind enough to have spared
Freeza in the first place. And let's not forget what Cell did
when Gohan postponed his execution just for a minute!
No, Goku has learnt from his past mistakes. Some guys
must die as soon as possible.
'I'm sorry, Beerus,' he sighs. 'I know that, if I let you go, you'll
keep destroying planets and billions of more lives will be lost.
I'm not killing you for revenge. It just has to happen!'
The humiliated god of destruction weakly turns his eyes to his
servant. 'Whiss, help me,' he whispers, coughing.
The blue skinned being takes a step forward. 'Er hem,' he
draws Goku's attention. 'I'd like to urge you not to kill Lord
Beerus.' Goku raises his eyes to him.
'Not a chance, blue guy,' he insists as he charges the finishing
off blast. 'Now, please, step back. You don't seem as bad a
person as your lord and I don't want to have to harm you as
well.'
He lowers his eyes back to the terrified Beerus, his blast almost
ready. 'Goodbye, god of destr...'
Before he can finish the sentence above, his eyes suddenly
bulge. His mouth wide opens. His red aura is abruptly lost.
Goku faints!
As his fainted body falls, it reveals that Whiss is behind him,
with his arm extended. That blue creature went behind Goku,
so fast that not even the Super Saiyan God saw him, and
knocked him unconscious with one single hit!
Of course, everybody is freaked out.
'A Super Saiyan God... down with one punch...' Piccolo whispers.
'That guy is way stronger than Beerus,' Yamcha comments.
'He could have saved us all along, yet he didn't!' Krillin adds.
'What a douchebag,' Trunks clenches his fists.
Whiss lifts Beeruses half conscious body with his arms in a
scene that resembles a bridal carry and would produce a lot of
funny memes if it was illustrated.
Chichi, Goten and Gohan run to Goku and crouch above him.
'What did you do to him?' a crying Chichi yells to Whiss.
'Don't worry, ma'am. He's alive,' Whiss says with his usual,
indifferent smile.
'Whiss... thank you...' Beerus smiles weakly at him.
'I only did my job, Lord Beerus,' Whiss replies nonchalantly.
'I'm an angel. And the job of an angel is to serve the god
of destruction.'
Then, at super speed, he vanishes.
