Sorry for this late chapter! Enjoy!
The old god spoke. "Well, this is reality, in the sense that your consciousness has been summoned here. You are still out cold in your universe, though. Your father packs a heck of punch, doesn't he?"
Gohan, being a mortal, could only understand that much. He took a deep breath and tried to process what he witnessed, but he was not so sure that he could! 'Ok... Let's see, this old man is a god, or so he says, and according to him I'm in the middle of nowhere but I'm actually not here and I'm still in the time-chamber... and who was that bald dude that I saw, the power? It felt the same as before. Wait, if he was the source of the power and he was here, then how is it that he was on Earth back then? WHAT THE FUCK'S GOING ON?" His head started to hurt and he saw the old man smiling at him.
"You have a lot going on up there kid! Let me ease your train of thoughts." The old man floated over to Gohan and touched his forehead with his thumb.
Gohan backed away, and put up his guard.
"Don't worry mortal, I'll clear all your doubts. I mean no harm, I swear." The old man raised his hands and they began to glow, brighter and brighter until a bright flash of light blinded Gohan for a second.
And before he could realize, Gohan understood everything, all his doubts had been answered, he had seen a vision, he understood that the bald guy that he had seen was the source of that power, and his consciousness was travelling back in time. He understood why the old man had summoned him. And he understood how weak he was. He looked at the old god, tears in his eyes, and he knelt in shame. "Forgive me old man, there's nothing I can do. I am a weakling, forgive me!"
"On your feet lad, there's a reason why I called you here. The vision that you saw, it's about to happen and there is a way to stop this infernal war of madness. But it comes at a cost, and can they pay that huge of a price? Can YOU?"
Silence...
The old god spoke. "This might be the last time I can ever be of any help, Gohan. You might not know why you were shown what you saw, but remember, a god's blood runs through your veins. Remember, you are the only one who can do this. You are not weak, not at all. Believe in yourself boy, I believe in your ability."
"Old man, I do not know why you think I'm worthy, but if it means to stop what's coming... I'm prepared to sacrifice myself!"
"Good, good. Then, it's time that you return..."
"But you did not tell me what to do! I have to become stronger!"
"You'll know what to do when it's time." The old god snapped his fingers and a portal appeared behind Gohan, sucking him inside. "Remember to believe in yourself Gohan. And when the time comes, tell this to your father: he is not the one at fault, and neither is baldy... ah! The cyborg's about to come searching for him! You'd better go now!"
UNIVERSE 7: EARTH, SAITAMA'S LOCATION.
"Aw man, I'm starving! Why are there so many ruins around here? And I forgot to bring my purse!"
Saitama had been wandering around aimlessly for the last 2 hours. He had nobody to ask for directions and he had not eaten anything since Genos' bear curry and noodles last night. 'Where did that old geezer actually send me? Is this even the right place? And where do I find that golden haired guy? Oh man it's so hot over here; my cape is getting burnt up!'
His train of thoughts came to a halt when an energy beam hit him on his head. The explosion caused a 2 mile crater around Saitama, but of course, his dome was as lustrous as always, shining in the sun like a pearl upon the ocean.
"I think it was a bit too much for him Paikuhan, thank god there was nobody around," West Kai said, "Anyway, since that is taken care of, let's go train."
Paikuhan remained still, his eyes focused on the settling dust, a trickle of sweat made its way through his forehead. He could not believe what he was seeing.
"What's wrong Paikuhan? Let's get going. What are you looking at?" The West Kai followed Paikuhan's gaze, and his jaw was left hanging.
A shadow emerged out of the dust: red boots, bright yellow pants, a white cape fluttering in a regal way, a yellow shirt, fiery red gloves as if they were made from molten magma, and a bald head so bright that it caught paikuhan off-guard! "Oi, why did you attack me, my cape could've been burnt, you know? And I don't even have Genos to stitch it for me!"
"Impossible, it was a direct hit!" The West Kai was completely paralyzed.
Saitama could see that the green dude was going to hit him again. "Hey, I am not in any mood to fight..." But there was no reaction—he was staring at him with an intent to kill. He thought to himself, 'they are probably aliens from outer space, like in the movies that I saw, so they may not understand me properly. Thank god I watched them!' "I come in peace. I do not want fight!" He said out loud, making huge gestures with his hand.
Paikuhan looked confused. 'Why is this guy talking like weird? And what does he mean 'I come in peace'? He took out a whole city! Is he actually backing away? Or is he mocking me? Whatever the reason, I have to stop him from destroying other cities!'
Saitama just stood there, in a very ballerina-like pose.
'How dare he make a mockery out of me! He is just like every other evil I have faced and he will be destroyed!' Paikuhan vented all his anger towards Saitama!
"Seriously, they don't get me, do they? Those movies were a waste of time huh?" Saitama spoke to himself, ignoring the fact that Paikuhan had just landed a punch right in his face. The impact flung him through the mountains and he landed in a river. "Come on! Now I'm all wet!"
Paikuhan closed in from behind and kicked him in the face, then transported behind him and launched a barrage of punches that smashed him through the rocks, rivers, trees. He then launched a volley of blasts, each with enough power to wipe out a city.
The place was getting levelled, but Saitama couldn't care less. 'This guy reminds me of that other alien dude that I fought!' He thought to himself.
"Paikuhan! What are you doing? Do you want to destroy this planet?!" The west Kai warned Paikuhan
Paikuhan knew that the Kai had a point, but something in him kept telling him that it was not enough—it was not even close enough to beat this foe. He was panting; he had expelled a lot of energy. 'I think I got him. He was one tough foe!'
Saitama, lying under a thousand tons of rubble, decided that enough was enough. 'This green dude is strong, but I don't want to hurt him. I'll just knock him out' He punched the rocks above him and they disintegrated, revealing the sun, and the bald head shone once more!
Paikuhan was about to leave when he heard an explosion. He turned around and right behind him was the bald foe.
"You are really strong," the man said.
And before Paikuhan could even blink, he felt intense pain in his stomach. "I...IM...IMPOSSI...BLE!" He uttered before he collapsed.
Saitama took care of both the green dude and the other guy and set their unconscious bodies beside the river. 'Well, that was unexpected. I wonder why he attacked me in the first place? Ah, shit! I could've asked him for directions!' Glancing at the horizon, he spotted a city. 'Thank god! I wonder if they are all like this green dude! Anyway, let's ask for some directions and I hope they have some food!'
AT THE CITY SAITAMA SPOTTED.
"Beerus-sama, the food here is delicious, isn't it?"
"Ah, I'm full!" Let's get an ice cream Whis!"
