"Well son, care to explain?" Bardock questioned his son. The group had arrived back at Bardock's home and were now sitting in the living room.
"Explain what?"
"How you became a super saiyan. I mean, why didn't you tell us?"
Goku then understood. It really wasn't wise going super in front of all those people. And now the news was spreading like wild fire.
"I didn't think it was that big of a deal."
"Not that big of a deal!" Towa exclaimed. "You have attained the highest pinnacle of power of our race and you say it is not a big deal?" Everyone was staring dumbfounded at the boy in front of them.
Goku shrugged his shoulders.
"I meant what I said. Compared to the levels of power I have obtained, super saiyan is easily my weakest form."
"Wait. Are you saying there is a power greater than super saiyan?" Fasha asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Of course there is. For instance..." Goku stood up and powered up to super. "This is the super saiyan level, right?" Everyone nodded, eyes looking on in wonder.
Goku then tilted his head forward with a smirk and his hair turned slightly more gold and spiky. The ground rumbled with the weight of his power.
"This is what I call super saiyan 2."
"Super saiyan 2?" Gine stuttered.
"Yes. The proper name is super saiyan ascended but I just decided to give it a more simple name. And now onto super saiyan three."
He gritted his teeth as his hair grew longer into a thick mane and his eyebrows disappeared. Everyone sitting there were just slack-jawed. Goku smirked before powering down back to normal.
" As amazing as the third level is, it takes a lot of energy to stay in the form so it is best not to use it an a full drawn out fight. And we haven't even got to the fun stuff yet."
"There's more?!" Shugesh shouted.
"Yes." Goku responded. "Far more than you can imagine. Unfortunately I can't show you here. Wouldn't want to bring the whole house down on us now would we?"
Bardock was curious about something else though. These were not the forms his son had taken in his vision.
"Kakarot."
"Hm?" Goku looked at his father.
"Before the planet was destroyed I had a dream. In it you had taken a saiyan form with silver hair. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that do you?"
Goku's eyes widened before he settled into his signature smirk and folded his arms.
"Yes. But that is not a saiyan form. Far beyond it."
"So what is it?"
"It is an elite level of power, reserved only for the highest go-"
A banging on the door jolted them all out of their trance. A few more bangs ensued before the door opened and guards similar to those from earlier stepped into the room.
Goku at once stood up to meet them. He eyed their guns in their arms.
"What do you want? Why are you here?"
One of the guards stepped forward his gun held in front of him. He spoke in a nervous voice, trembling at the boy in front of him. Goku recognized him as one of the ones he had blasted in the arena earlier on.
"His Royal Majesty King Vegeta has demanded you presence in his courtroom super saiyan. I'm afraid you don't have a choice in the matter."
Goku narrowed his eyes. The weapons in the guards' arms crumbled into dust and they all leapt back.
"I believe that you nor the king are in a position to force me to do anything. But you can tell him that I will see him in a couple of hours. Is that understood?" The guard hurriedly nodded. "Good. Now get out!"
The guards didn't need to be told twice as they took turn and fled with their tails literally between their legs. Goku scrunched his eyes in confusion.
"I don't get it. How did they find us?"
"Scouters." Bardock answered. "They must have picked up you energy levels when you powered up earlier.
" Oh. "
King Vegeta sat on his throne, eyes furrowed in worry. He had received the news that the super saiyan would be here about now. Steeling himself ready for what was coming, he looked towards the tall double doors opening and the boy walked through.
Goku stepped into the dark hall and eyed the guards warily. They all shrunk back a little bit at his glare and he walked right up to the staircase where he ch held the throne and stood there. King Vegeta raised his eyebrows at his audacity.
"What boy, you do not kneel to your king?"
Goku narrowed his eyes as his parents along with his father's squad came in behind him.
"You're not my king."
There was a collective gasp among the eliyes. A look of anger came upon the face of the king.
"Just because you have attained the greatest power of our race, you think that you do not owe me the respect I am due, low class. I am your king, whether you like it or not."
"Says the one who would foolishly try to deceive Beerus the Destroyer."
King Vegeta drew back with an armed look. There was a outburst of whisper among his subjects. Only the elites knew of the existence of the terrifying cat God.
"Are you in acquaintance with him?" Vegeta nervously asked. Goku smirked.
"Why, yes I am."
"But how could you know the great destroyer?"
"Tell me King Vegeta. Do you know about something called a super saiyan God."
The king furrowed his eyebrows. Indeed he had heard of such a thing but it was considered to be a childish myth, even more so than the regular super saiyan of legend.
"Well yes. But what significance could that hold here?"
A flash of ruby light answered him and in place of the boy was a leaner version of him, his hair magnetta red and an aura with an appearance akin to that of a flickering flame.
Another round of gasps were heard around the room. Some even got on their hands and knees. As for the king, he could not believe what he was seeing. He hadn't even got the boy's name yet, and already he was showing his identity as the deity of saiyans.
"W-W-What is your name?"
"My name is Kakarot, son of Bardock and I am the super saiyan God."
All in the room began praising Goku in fear of his anger. King Vegeta was still not satisfied with his answer.
"Is this how you know Beerus?"
Goku shook his head.
"No. But you're about to find out how in a moment. He's already here."
No sooner had he spoken, that a light shone done from seemingly out of nowhere. From it stepped out said deity and his attendant. Whis raised his eyebrows at seeing Goku there but Goku motioned him to stay quiet.
King Vegeta abruptly stood up from his throne and knelt at Beerus's feet.
"It is an honor to have you here my lord. Have you come to ask of us another great feast?"
Beerus yawned and shook his hand.
"Nah. I actually came because I was curious as to why this planet reappeared back here. Also, I sensed divine energy in here. Would you care to explain that?"
Vegeta merely pointed his finger at Goku. When Beerus finally turned around to look behind him and saw Goku, he immediately jumped backwards gibbering in terror. Sure the eyes and hair were different but it was him nonetheless.
" Grand Goku! I didn't see you there. I am humbled by your presence. Why are you here?"
Looks of shock and confusion were apparent on some faces. How could this boy scare the wits out of a destroyer?
"You will find out soon enough Beerus. But for now, there is somewhere I want us all to be. Come stand near me you two. And you too King Vegeta." Goku looked behind at his parents. "Mom, Dad you should come too."
"Where are we going?" Gine asked her son.
"To my palace." Once the group was assembled next to him, Goku looked upwards. "Greetings Grand Minister. I have some guests which I would like to accommodate for the night. Would you be so kind as to grant us transit?"
"Standby please." The father angel's voice rang out in the air. The group hovered in the air and disappeared in a flash of light. All the while, the elites in the room were scratching their heads, still puzzled as to what was going on.
