So, I'm back after a little break. Had some time to work on some further parts of this story and you can expect weekly releases to continue. I do plan to take another break, but I'll let you know when that one happens. For now, enjoy this conclusion.

Chapter 6: He Appears! The Battle of Gods Commences.

Beerus and Noca stood staring at each other. Noca's grip on Beerus' arm didn't look like loosening up at any point, but the God didn't seem to care much. He just continued to smirk at the teen. It was an intense stare-down, but someone would need to break it soon. Someone needed to make some sort of effort to more.

Noca let go of Beerus' arm and leapt up away into the sky he then flashed forward, moving at such a pace that no one around them had even seen what Noca had done. Suddenly there was a small wave of energy that shook the area and Noca was revealed to have landed a smashing kick…against Beerus' arm. Noca may have been fast, but the God was equal to it, maybe even better.

Noca pulled away again and phased from view, eventually appearing behind Beerus and attempting a punch to the back of his head. The punch connected with the space that Beerus had occupied, but not the God himself. Beerus had already flashed away and now it was his turn to appear behind Noca. The teen knew Beerus there and managed to dodge away from the God's attempted chop.

Noca rolled away and leapt towards Beerus again, this time opting for a range of punches and kicks. The sent two jabs towards Beerus, finding that both of them were dodged with ease. Noca then attempted a swiping kick, aimed for Beerus' face, but the God just continued to back away. This was all he had to do to avoid Noca's attempts. The teen was proving to be far too slow and this irritated Noca. He really wanted to be better, but it was far too difficult. Beerus was unlike anyone they had face before.

Noca eventually tried an energy blast, but Beerus had flashed out of the way. The attack sailed into the distance and exploded against a tree. Noca remained in the pose and his breathing was fairly heavy. The Purple-Skinned God hovered in the air and looked down upon Noca.

"Turns out you weren't the God…what a shame," Beerus muttered, pretending to yawn. Noca turned around and grunted in annoyance. He charged back towards Beerus and attempted to swipe a few punches at his opponent, but Beerus simply avoided them and then tapped Noca on the chest. Just that tap was enough to knock him out of Super Saiyan 2 and the teen then fell from the air.

He slammed down hard and was out of this fight now. He wasn't unconscious, but he was certainly weak. He slowly sat up, but he was aching all over. He had truly been giving it his all against Beerus, but he had proved to be far too quick and powerful. Noca glared at the God one last time before laying back and finally resting. Beerus laughed out loud as he descended to the ground.

"Looks like there isn't a Super Saiyan God. It disappoints me, but at least I get to destroy this pitiful planet," The God told everyone in the area. He seemed extremely pleased with himself, but someone was certainly annoyed by everything that had transpired here and she was going to make her voice heard.

Stomping towards the powerful God of Destruction was none other than the Blue-Haired scientist, Bulma. Vegeta looked over to his wife and made an effort to stop her from what she was doing, but she was miffed.

Bulma stood face-to-face with Beerus and glared right at him.

"You ruined my Birthday!" She yelled before lifting her hand and smacking him across the face. Everyone gasped or called out as Bulma performed that action and now everyone was extremely worried. Beerus slowly smiled.

"That kind of tickled…let me show you what it felt like," Beerus said as he lightly tapped Bulma against the face, but she dropped to the ground as if she'd been punched. There was a clear mark on her face and now everyone was stepping forward in defence of the woman. None of them cared much for that action and they were all ready to stand up for Bulma, but only one person was needed.

Beerus could feel an intense energy growing behind him and it told him that someone was ready to fight once more. The God turned around and saw a huge Golden Aura shining around the Prince of Saiyans. There were plenty of blue sparks littering the air as well. Vegeta slowly looked up at Beerus and it was clear that he was beyond enraged. His teeth were grit and his fists were clenched so tightly that his white gloves had trickles of blood on them.

Vegeta took a couple of steps towards Beerus before stopping and tensing up every muscle in his body.

"That's…that's…" The Prince started, quietly before stretching out and screaming at the top of his lungs as his energy exploded from within, "That's my BULMA!"

The whole area was shaking with a strong intensity as Vegeta blasted from his spot, leaving behind a mini-crater, and he was aiming right for Beerus.

"YOU BASTARD!" He yelled as he powered straight ahead, not even moving to attack. Beerus made the first move, smashing his fist against Vegeta's face and stopping him in his tracks, but the Prince started to push back and managed to turn his head and face Beerus. There was a visible look of shock on the God's face as Vegeta knocked his hand away and smashed a strong uppercut into his gut.

Beerus bent over from the impact as Vegeta reeled his left arm back and then smashed into Beerus' face with his right fist. The God was lifted up into the air and shook off the impact, but Vegeta sprung from his step once more and pummelled the God further into the air. Beerus couldn't move a muscle…he was completely immobilized by the shock and sheer intensity of Vegeta's amazing upgrade in power.

People had rushed to Bulma to make sure she was ok and the sudden explosion of power had managed to get Noca to his feet as he watched what happened up in the sky. This wasn't a temporary upgrade…this was purely Vegeta's power.

Vegeta had just smashed a strong punch across Beerus' face and the God was finally starting to have enough of this. He began to actually fight back. He caught Vegeta's next punch and pulled the Saiyan close to him. As Vegeta was pulled in, Beerus kicked him in the gut ever so swiftly. Vegeta was knocked back and grabbed a hold of his stomach as the pain coursed through him. He attempted to straighten up, only to have a fist connect directly with the centre of his face. Vegeta was propelled through the air and Beerus swiftly followed after the Saiyan.

Vegeta managed to roll and flipped forward to put himself back into a focussed position, but he wasn't prepared for how fast Beerus would be coming in. The God stopped inches from Vegeta's face and smirked right at him.

"That was some burst of energy you had there. I'm almost surprised," Beerus stated as he thrust his hand forward and used the sheer force of his movement to push Vegeta away from him. "A Saiyan really does keep his emotions close to the surface…even one like you, who tries so hard to hide them."

Vegeta looked up and continued to glare at Beerus. The God wasn't even looking at Vegeta now and had even taken to closing his eyes.

"It's a shame that I have to destroy you and this planet, but…" Beerus opened his eyes and looked at Vegeta with a frown, "I'm rather pissed off."

He flashed towards Vegeta and thrust a strong punch deep into Vegeta's gut. The attack was immense and almost knocked the Saiyan Prince unconscious. He was about to drop to the ground, but Beerus held onto the front of his armour for second.

"Just think…you descend from so much more," the God muttered this so quietly that he wasn't sure Vegeta even heard him, but he didn't care. He let go of the Saiyan and finally let him drop all the way to the ground. By this time, Bulma was up and Trunks was ok too. Both of them, along with Bra all rushed to Vegeta's body as it slammed down against the dirt. They helped bring him back to his feet and pulled him back to the group, away from Beerus.

The God touched down and started to look around.

"Where are you Whis?!" Beerus yelled. Quick enough, Whis was by his side.

"Yes, Lord Beerus?" Whis said, while picking at a plate of food.

"I'm ready to destroy this Planet and go home," The God informed his partner.

"Can it not wait?" Whis questioned as he continued to pick at the food on his plate. "There are still plenty of things over at that stall I have yet to try."

Whis pointed over to the buffet table where a chef-bot had loads of food laid out, ready for Whis to consume. Beerus took a look at it and licked his lips every so subtly, but obviously not subtle enough.

"Does my Lord want me to get him some to take back home?" Whis asked, a smile on his face. Beerus just glared at Whis and turned his head. "I'll take that as a yes."

Whis moved back to the stall and he could be heard conversing with the robot and telling it that he wished to take the food away with him. Beerus just scratched his face and then slowly ascended into the air slightly. He looked down upon the entire group and chuckled.

"It's a shame you couldn't produce what I wanted…and then treat me like I'm just a common fool…" Beerus' ear twitched as he spoke, "I'm a God of Destruction and deserve the utmost respect!"

People started to back away as Beerus' aura started to shine around him.

"I will put an end to your planet and its people so that one day, maybe, it can be born anew and then…these new people will learn how to truly respect a God," Beerus stated in such a sinister fashion as he raised his hand and prepared to fire his attack.

"Wait!" A voice called out from behind the large group. Beerus' eyes snapped towards the location of the voice and everyone in the group turned around, recognising the voice. Almost everyone in the group, except Vegeta, seemed to brighten up when they finally saw who it was. It was just as they had all hoped. It was as if their prayers were answered. Walking through the group, not looking at any of them, eyes fixed upon Beerus, was Goku.

Beerus' eye twitched as he looked down upon the very same Saiyan he had bested in the Other World. There was still a Halo above his head, so he was indeed still dead.

"How can you be here? You are dead," Beerus questioned as he lowered to be level with the Saiyan.

"Let's just say that I have a free pass…" Goku said, not revealing how he had really managed to leave the Supreme Kai's planet.

Meanwhile, on the Supreme Kai's planet…

"We can't just let him go down there like that!" The Elder-Kai shouted at the younger.

"Elder, don't worry…Goku will deal with this…I hope," The Supreme Kai tried to assure his Elder.

"This is so wrong…he'll be angry with us…he won't want Goku fighting Beerus," The Elder-Kai mentioned as he covered his eyes and shook his head. Cilu's ears perked up at hearing of a he.

"What are you hiding from us? Who is this 'he'?" Cilu asked, not wanting so many secrets kept from them. The Kai both turned and looked at Cilu with a little worry on their faces before returning to look at each other.

"They are talking about me," A strangely calm, but deep voice said from behind Cilu. It sounded very elegant. Almost God-Like. Both Kai seemed shocked by the arrival of this being. Cilu turned around slowly and finally saw who this 'he' was.

Back on Earth, Beerus was staring at Goku with a smirk on his face.

"You are certainly an intriguing Saiyan, but unless you've come up with some way to beat me you know you don't stand a chance," Beerus stated, knowing exactly what Goku was currently capable of. Goku began to scratch the back of his head and honestly had no response for Beerus. He started to chuckle.

"I guess you're right Beerus…I'd be beaten for sure," Goku stated, looking into the God's eyes. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to back down and let you destroy this planet."

Beerus' ear twitched at that and he seemed to be intrigued by what Goku was suggesting. He actually believed he was capable of fighting some more and that amused Beerus. The God started laughing out loud and that was surprising to everyone around them.

"You won't stand a chance, plus you're not the Super Saiyan God and that disappoints me," Beerus turned away from Goku and started to walk off. "I'm just going to destroy your planet and be done with this."

Goku clenched his fist and started to think of a possible plan of action. He stepped forward ready to throw himself back into a fight, but a solitary voice managed to give the Dead Saiyan some sense.

"We could always ask Shenron?" Pan suggest in an innocent and questioning manner. Everyone looked at Pan and then one another, and shrugged their shoulders.

"It could work, Goku," Krillin spoke up. Goku looked to his old friend and then to Bulma for confirmation on using the Dragon Radar, luckily Bulma already had the balls gathered just in case they were ever needed again. They were kept in a safe place though, just to be sure.

She quickly rushed off to get them, but Beerus was very confused by what was going on.

"Why is the woman leaving?" Beerus questioned. Goku turned to face the God and seemed to almost forget he was waiting to destroy the planet.

"Oh…we're gonna use the Dragon Balls to ask Shenron to bring you a Super Saiyan God," Goku said, sounding stupid, but it wasn't a bad idea if everyone was to be honest.

Beerus looked to Whis for some sort of help with this situation, but the Servant just shrugged his shoulder and took a seat, showing that he was perfectly satisfied with waiting. Beerus groaned and then took a seat beside Whis.

Bulma returned with the balls and laid them out of the ground in front of Goku, and made sure to leave them in enough open space. Everyone stood back as Goku stood over the 7 magic orbs.

"Eternal Dragon, by your name I summon you forth. SHENRON!" Goku yelled up at the sky. Black clouds started to form around them and there was thunder in the sky. Beerus was intrigued by this and paid close attention to the flashing balls. Soon enough a huge ray of light shot up to the sky and it started to swirl around in a snake-like fashion, eventually forming into a giant, green Dragon. Everyone loved to see this sight and people found themselves just staring in awe, until he spoke.

"I am Shenron. I shall grant you one wish. Make it quick," Shenron said, in his usual grouchy tone.

"Hey Shenron, can you bring us a Super Saiyan God?" Goku asked. Shenron didn't react right away and everyone was confused.

"No," The Dragon answered, bluntly.

"What?" Goku questioned, scratching his head, but Shenron quickly continued.

"I am unable to perform this task as there isn't currently a Super Saiyan God in existence…and there hasn't been for many thousands of years," Shenron answered.

"So they did exist…" Vegeta turned to Noca and said in a relatively hushed tone. Both of them were shocked by that reveal. It wasn't just a fantasy.

"Well, can you tell us how to make one?" Was Goku's follow-up wish. Everyone sweat-dropped at Goku's bizarre choice of words, but it was a valid ask.

"A Super Saiyan God can only exist for a short period of time, but it is a power that can be used to vanquish even the toughest of enemies. To create a Super Saiyan God Five Super Saiyans will need to pool their energy together and then transfer it to another Saiyan. Six Saiyans must join together in this process," Shenron finished his explanation and then Goku turned to face the rest of the Saiyans.

"I'm gonna do it, but I need your help!" He told them all. Vegeta didn't like that.

"What? Why do you get to do it? You're dead! You shouldn't even be here, Kakarot!" The Prince yelled at his fellow Full-Blood Saiyan. "If anyone should become a God it should be a Saiyan Royal!"

Beerus stood up and walked over to the group.

"As much as I admire you Prince Vegeta, I want to face the one known as Goku," The God stated, clearly stabbing Vegeta right through his pride. The Prince stepped away and glared at Goku.

"Fine, let's just get it over and done with!" Vegeta yelled, flashing Super Saiyan.

There seemed to be an awkward silence as Shenron continued to hover above them all as no one had actually made a wish. It was almost quite scary.

"Does anybody require a wish?" Shenron yelled, grabbing all of their attentions.

"No," Beerus replied, waving his hand towards the Dragon, "Be-gone, will you."

Shenron nodded awkwardly and then vanished back into the Dragon Balls as they raised into the air and scattered once more. The light returned to the sky and everyone looked around at each other.

"So…who's doing this?" Bulma asked, "He said Super Saiyans right?"

"Yeah," Goku replied, "So I need Vegeta, Noca, Gohan, Goten and Trunks to help me."

The five Saiyans stood around Goku in a circle and all flashed Super Saiyan at the same moment. They then joined hands and began to power up to their maximum, doing it as quick as they could. The sooner they were rid of Beerus the sooner things would go back to normal. Or as normal as they could be. There were few big flashes of energy as the power started to fuse together and because Goku was in the middle it started to warp around him and flood into his body. Goku then flashed to Super Saiyan as he embraced the power.

Everyone watching on could sense there was a massive power increase, but they weren't completely sure on the whole God thing. It still appeared to be fairly preposterous to them. No one thought there was anything big happening until all the other Saiyans appeared to drop from Super Saiyan back to their base forms. They kept their hands joined and continued to let the energy transfer to Goku as his aura began to shin a bright blue and the sparks around his body were getting even more violent than usual. The Saiyan Circle parted as they backed away to admire whatever was happening to Goku.

The Saiyan raised into the air and continued to hold his energy in. The Aura exploded from within and then seemed to change from a bright gold to a shining blue and eventually settled on a fiery red. His hair returned to it's natural standing position with perhaps a fair bit of extra spikiness, but the tint was very different and even Goku's body was different.

As he touched down at the Aura disappeared everyone could see the differences made to Goku. He had bright red hair, red eyes and his aura was a fiery red with some shining blue mixed in there. Even his body looked slimmer. This wasn't the normal Goku, or even an ordinary Super Saiyan Goku. This was indeed what Beerus had come here for. This was his dream made a reality.

Goku had become a Super Saiyan God. He looked at his body and stood straight. Not even he knew what to make of this new form, but it was clear that the power upgrade was immense. Vegeta was wide-eyed and open-mouthed.

"I…I can't sense his energy…just like with Beerus," Vegeta stated, not wanting to believe what he had just witnessed. He clenched his fists and thought to himself. "Surpassed by that clown, again."

Beerus stepped towards Goku and admired the new form. He still didn't know what to make of this. Was it really what he wanted to see? Was this really what a Super Saiyan God was meant to look like? He didn't know the answers for sure, but if he was a betting God, he would've put it all on yes. Beerus stepped right up to Goku and touched a finger to his chest.

"How does it feel to have all of that power flowing within you?" Beerus asked, smirking, "The power of a God."

Goku looked at his hands and then clenched them tightly, closing his eyes as well to take a second and feel that power flow through him.

"Honestly, I won't know until I finally start fighting," Goku replied, bearing a smirk of his own. Beerus stepped back, but he wasn't scared, he was intrigued.

"You gain an immense power-up and rather than take a second to adjust to it, you would go all embrace it and intend to fight me right away?" Beerus mentioned in a questioning tone. Goku took another look at himself and nodded. Beerus chuckled and built a larger distance between he and Goku. The Saiyan did the same, but before doing anything he turned to his friends.

"Guys, you may need to take a big step back," He told them all, "This could get messy."

They all understood what Goku was telling them and rushed to get some distance, but also made sure to remain in a decent enough position to keep a good eye on the fight. It was only Vegeta, Noca and Whis that didn't step back as far. They were very interested in seeing how this conflict would play out.

Goku and Beerus stood, staring at each other, both wearing smirks on their faces. The Saiyan moved into his stance and Beerus simply whipped his tail and beckoned for Goku to make the next move. Goku inched forward slightly and then phased towards Beerus. He disappeared and reappeared right in front of the God. Goku swung his arm back and propelled it towards Beerus' face, but the God was quick and threw his left arm up to block the hit.

The impact was big and created a massive shock wave that rocketed through the area and caused the onlookers to rock on their feet a little. Beerus didn't take into thought how strong Goku's attack would be and he could feel himself being pushed back ever so slightly. He grunted in annoyance and pushed back on Goku. This started to balance out the strength and they held the position. Beerus smirked at Goku and started to speak.

"How does it feel, having this power?" Beerus asked.

"It's…amazing," Goku replied. The two of them instantly broke apart and landed a fair distance apart, but Goku went in for the first move once again. He flashed forward at an intense pace, but Beerus quickly phased out of the way leaving Goku to stumble forward as he tried to stop himself. The Saiyan swung around to get back into the fight and prepare for his defence.

He wasn't given a lot of time to get into the defensive position, but he was ready with a cross block as Beerus charged in with a powerful punch swinging in. Beerus pushed his strength against Goku and the Saiyan started to back away a little, but he started to push his energy forward again and managed to break his guard and knock Beerus' arm away. The God backed off, but Goku thrust himself forward and landed a punch into Beerus' chest.

The God backed away and brought a hand to his chest. He was intrigued by this power and was feeling an excitement that he hadn't experienced before. He smirked towards Goku and the phased right in front of the Saiyan again. He sent an uppercut into Goku's chin and that threw him further into the sky. Beerus followed on and when he managed to come up to level with Goku's body, the God flipped forward, performing an overhead kick. He was sure the attack would land, but to his surprise Goku had caught the foot and stopped the attack dead. Beerus' smirk disappeared and he started to frown. Goku chuckled to himself and then swung Beerus down to his side. He let go of the God and then thrust a punch into the God's chin.

Beerus composed himself and backed away after that attack. He had clearly underestimated how quickly Goku would get accustomed to this new power.

"That power is fantastic," Beerus muttered to himself, "But I can't let him win this."

He charges forward at an almost invisible pace and sent in a strong right jab. It smacked against Goku's unsuspecting face and pushed him away, but Beerus swung his left arm out and grabbed onto the front of Goku's Gi, pulling him closer. Beerus crashed the right fist into the Saiyan's gut and then sent his knee crashing into Goku's chin. The Saiyan was lifted up and Beerus moved underneath him and sent his fist crashing up into Goku's back.

There was a cracking sound as Goku was knocked up, but the Saiyan quickly swung around and composed himself as best he could. He turned around and sped down towards Beerus almost immediately. He sent in a rapid barrage of punches and continued to move forwards as he did so. Beerus found that he was being pushed close towards the city.

Beerus used his energy to push Goku away and then rushed closer towards the City. Goku started to realise that this could be potentially very dangerous and decided to power forward really quickly. Beerus stopped right in front of a building and waited for Goku to fly towards him. The Saiyan powered as close to Beerus as he could and then threw his fist forward with strength. Beerus knew this wouldn't end well and quickly flashed away, avoiding the fist and letting Goku almost crash right into the building. Luckily he managed to stop inches away from the glass.

Goku instantly swung around to try and get another attack in on Beerus, but was instantly taken off-guard by the God's sudden appearance and swinging kick. The foot smashed into the left side of the Saiyan's face and propelled him through the air. Goku opened his eyes and prepared to be ready for another attack from Beerus. The God phased towards the Saiyan and prepared to knock Goku down towards the ground, but the vastly experienced Saiyan phased away, meaning Beerus missed his attack.

Beerus smashed down on thin air and was wide-eyed with the shock at that immense speed. The biggest shock was soon to follow when Goku appeared below Beerus once more and smashed a kick in Beerus' face and sent that God soaring high into the air. Goku rapidly followed the purple-skinned deity up into the air and was ready with another attack, but this time it was Beerus' chance to disappeared and shock his opponent. Goku stalled and started to scout around, but couldn't spot anyone.

Beerus appeared behind Goku and then pulled the Saiyan into a tight headlock. Goku lifted his hands to Beerus' arm in the hopes that he could pull them away, but that grip was far too tough. He tried as hard as he could, but it just wouldn't happen. Beerus smirked and laughed and then twisted Goku's body, twirling him around and then sent a strong kick into the Saiyan's ribs and Goku was sent thundering away into the distance.

Goku is rolling through the air at an intense pace, but does his best to stop. Luckily he managed it, but Beerus wasn't one for waiting around for nothing. He blitzed towards the Saiyan and kicked Goku towards the ground. The Saiyan shot down at a great pace and smashed through a forest and a couple of trees before stopping against one. Goku cracked against it and let out an angered grunt. He opened his eyes and saw a flash of light in the air.

Goku looked up and saw it was a huge Ki attack. The Saiyan was wide-eyed with the fear that this move was intended to destroy the planet. It started to crash through the trees and Goku, wanting to limit damage, flew towards it at pace and started to push all his energy against it. The blast was strong, but Goku managed to do his best to move it and redirect it towards the sky. He moved underneath and pushed it up. As it soared higher Goku threw a small Ki blast towards it purely to cause it to detonate safely away from anyone. This way it wouldn't cause any harm. The blast exploded, but Goku made a mistake.

Beerus took a chance and flashed towards Goku without a second though. Goku couldn't sense any of Beerus' movement so he was completely taken by surprise when Beerus started to unleash a fairly powerful barrage of punches into Goku's stomach or chest. Goku was being smashed around with such ease and the Saiyan wasn't given a chance to move away. As the barrage was unleashed Beerus started to move Goku further away from the forest and close towards the coastline. They made their way out to the edge of a huge cliff, but instead of knocking Goku off of the edge of it, Beerus decided to smash Goku down through the rock and towards the sea.

Goku couldn't even move the slightest and splashed down with a big crash. Beerus moved to the end of the cliff and looked down, hands placed behind his back. He stood there quietly looking down with smirk, feeling the wind blow around him. He started to ponder whether or not Goku had even survived that or if he was just going to drown. It didn't concern the God in the slightest and he just continued to stand and watch until something interesting happened.

Soon enough a huge rumbling noise started to come from below the water and Beerus was further intrigued by what this Saiyan warrior was capable of. His control over the God Ki was amazing and Beerus was honestly having so much fun with this fight. There was a huge explosion of power from below the water's surface and Goku fired out of it and charged towards Beerus, aiming a punch right for the God. Beerus cracked his neck and raised his left hand, catching Goku's punch with the least bit of concern. He just continued to smirk and look right into Goku's eyes.

The Saiyan growled in annoyance and tried to pull his arm back, but Beerus' grip strengthened and then the God decided to twist Goku's arm in the wrong direction and move it out wide. This showed the God an opening that he knew was a gateway to some pretty good chances. The God smashed s powerful fist right into Goku's face, but he didn't just stop at one. He started to let out a fair few more, maybe five or six and then he sent in a final punch that pushed Goku away. Beerus let go of the Saiyan, allowing him to fall ever so slightly.

Goku had hardly made it towards the ground before Beerus dropped in with one of his immense kicks and that propelled the Saiyan into the water once more. Goku was sent down so fast that he essentially sunk like a stone, but Beerus wasn't going to let him float back to the surface. The God dropped back in and punted a strong punch down onto the Saiyan and the waterbed causing the rock to crack and sink even further down below.

Beerus continued to send punch after punch into Goku's body as they made their way further down through the rock and closer towards the centre of the Earth. Eventually Beerus felt like he hit some hollow ground and new he had reached a different place. He punched down one last time and the duo ended up in a huge underwater cavern. Both fighters dropped in and composed themselves, managing to manipulate their power in such a way that they could stand on the surface of this water. They bounced away from one another and stared towards the other. The ceiling of this cavern seemed to block it self and stopped the room from flooding.

Beerus continued to smirk at Goku, while the Saiyan was trying to regain his breath and energy. He was wearing out a little even though he was doing his best to fight this God. It was never going to be an easy battle. Beerus had no aura around his body, but Goku's flaming aura was still visible and was even reflecting in the surface of the water. Goku cracked his neck and let a smirk cross his face.

"You must love the power you're using?" Beerus said in a questioning tone. Goku looked up and then at his hands. He clenched his fists and looked back towards Beerus.

"I do…kinda," Goku muttered in response, but there was clearly something on his mind, "Something annoys me…"

Beerus raised an eyebrow and made a confused sound.

"It's not a power I can achieve on my own or fully control," Goku started to explain. Beerus' ear twitched as he tilted his head and listened to what Goku had to say. "I need help from others…"

"You have too much pride, it will be your downfall," Beerus explained, in response to what Goku had told him. Goku looked up and smiled.

"That's not true, Vegeta has so much more Pride than me," Goku responded, "I would just rather achieve the power to beat you myself…"

"So why did you bother with the transformation in the first place knowing you needed the power of your allies?" Beerus questioned, raising his brown and crossing his arms. Goku chuckled slightly.

"So that I actually have a chance to beat you," Goku responded, causing Beerus to start laughing out loud.

"If you actually think you can beat me like this then maybe I should start to use some more power and stop holding back," Beerus explained. Closing his eyes and turning his head to the side. Goku started chuckling and moved into a stance.

"Yeah, me too," Goku replied. Beerus' eyes snapped open and he quickly turned to face Goku.

"You're holding back?!" He growled in anger and completely moved to face Goku with all his intensity. "Fine, let's see how you like this!"

Beerus started to run at a terrific pace and was growling the entire time. He was moving so fast that the water trail couldn't even keep up with him and splashed a good metre behind him. Goku started to move into a defensive position, but Beerus was moving far too quick in this moment. He stopped right in front of Goku and slid to the Saiyan's left side, attempting to trip him up. Goku saw it coming at the last second and managed to slip forward, over Beerus' leg and then swung around to make an attack, but Beerus had already turned back and dove towards the Saiyan.

He dropped towards the Saiyan with his fist first, but Goku moved swiftly to present his block. Beerus' fist crashed into the block and was then pushed back by Goku's strength. He powered forward and started to throw his right fist forward, but as he did the Aura around him started to fade away and then Goku's hair even returned to normal. Beerus caught the fist with ease and pushed Goku back. Noticing the drop from God form, but being so caught up in the moment to actually pay it any attention.

Beerus leapt up into the air and started to power up his energy before unleashing a strong barrage of Ki blasts towards the Saiyan. Goku was bouncing around, doing his best to avoid all the attacks, but he wasn't impressed with Beerus' decision to use blasts in such a confined place. The Saiyan had to bounce off of all the cavern walls, finding it easier to start phasing around. A huge amount of blasts came towards him and that provoked him to put his fingers to his head and then used Instant Transmission to start moving around. Beerus kept following Goku, but it was still getting very difficult.

Goku used his Instant Transmission to get behind Beerus and then kicked the God towards the ground with a hell of a lot of power. Beerus stalled himself before splashing down, but Goku phased to the opposite side and was charging towards Beerus with an intense energy. Beerus, needing to find a way to defend, threw up a strong block, but Goku phased at the last minute and that confused Beerus. He dropped his block, but that didn't lead to the best outcome.

"Behind you!" Goku yelled, causing Beerus to turn around quickly, but Goku had already thundered in with a spectacular pace and smashed a powerful fist into the God's gut. Beerus bent over as Goku continue on, the water trail following a fair few second later. Beerus recovered from the attack and swung around to where Goku was. He stretched out his body and screamed with a terrifying rage and loads of purple energy blasts exploded out from within him.

Goku rapidly does his best to avoid all of the blasts, but soon notices that all the blasts are hitting the cavern walls and they begin to drop down on Goku. The Saiyan begins to panic as Beerus blasts up away out of anger, leaving Goku to be buried beneath the rubble. Goku starts pounding all of the rocks, trying to break all of them and find a way to break his way out. Soon enough the biggest ones were starting to fall down and blocked off his body and then water began to flood in. He clenched and tensed up and built up all the energy within.

"ARGH! I WILL NOT LET YOU DESTROY MY WORLD!" Goku screamed before erupting with a extreme amount of energy as he became a Super Saiyan and blasted out of the rocks and flew higher out of the water and towards Beerus. The God was wide-eyed with surprise, but had a smirk written on his face. He turned around and continued to fly off higher into the sky with Goku following right behind him.

As soon as Goku was revealed to them, the rest of the onlookers finally saw something they hadn't expected to see.

"Kakarot isn't a God anymore…he's just a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta informed the others, clenching his fist and getting the slight sense of fear in his mind. He didn't know how Goku was still continuing with so much intensity, despite no longer being in the God form.

Beerus continued to soar higher into the sky and Goku was following on with a growling anger coming from his mouth as he charged towards the God. Beerus looked back at Goku as he fired up and felt another smirk cross his face. The Saiyan was turning out to be a very good challenger and the God was enjoying himself in this fight.

He continued to lead Goku higher into the sky not caring about how thin the atmosphere got. In fact, Beerus had no problems with surviving in the vacuum of space, but Goku would last too long. Beerus eventually brought himself to a halt in the upper atmosphere and waited for the Saiyan to realise he couldn't go any further, but things didn't go that way for Beerus.

Goku continued charging right for Beerus and because the God didn't expect that he didn't react in time to move away from the Saiyan. Goku threw a barrage of punches and kicks at Beerus, but the God was equal to them and defended without so much as batting an eye. He knocked Goku's right arm away, caught his left and then thrust his own fist into the Saiyan's chest and then swung around. He landed a powerful kick to the front of Goku's face and sent the Saiyan back down a tiny bit, but Goku stopped and immediately looked up at his opponent.

He brought his fingers to his forehead and started to use Instant Transmission. He teleported behind Beerus, but further away. The God turned around slowly to see Goku with his hands at his side.

"KAME-HAME-HA!" Goku yelled, not wasting any time and pouring as much energy as he wanted into the blast. He thrust his hands forward and sent the wave of energy swirling all the way down towards the opponent. Beerus didn't even bother to move out of the way or put up a block. He just let the attack strike and engulf him. The energy was intense, but Beerus knew just what to do to deal with this. He waved his right hand in front of his face and the energy was completely cancelled out.

Goku watched as his attack did nothing and then started to descend to Beerus' level. He was completely worn out and could hardly muster up any more energy to continue, it was just his sheer will to protect the Earth that kept him going. Beerus smirked and brushed his shoulder.

"It's a shame…" Beerus starts, turning to face Goku and placing his arms behind his back, "You're no longer a God."

Goku didn't know what Beerus meant so he decided to take a quick look at himself. He definitely noticed the difference and cursed under his breath. There was definitely some worry etched on his face now. Beerus started to chuckle and Goku quickly looked up in a defensive manner.

"Looks like I'll be destroying the Earth now, it's a shame…you have some strong fighters and good food, but…I'm bored," Beerus phased away from Goku and moved higher to get the Saiyan in his aim. He lifted his hand and positioned it towards the planet. The energy started to build around his hand and Goku was at a loss.

He powered up as much as he couldn't, but it didn't look like it would be good enough. Beerus started to build a lot of energy, very quickly and then unleashed it without a second thought. The ball moved towards the Earth and Goku reacted fast to get close and attempted to push it back at the God. He pushed as hard as he could, but the energy was too strong and Goku could stop himself from steadily falling back. He grunted in annoyance and exhaustion, but he no intentions of giving in just yet.

The energy was overpowering Goku to a point where he even dropped from Super Saiyan and returned to his base energy. He was so tired from this fight that he felt his eyelids start to weigh heavy and he was starting to pass out. He closed his eyes and dropped his arms. The ball continued to push towards the planet and now it took Goku with it. The God saw this and had to admit he was disappointed, but he had no intentions to stop what he was doing.

Inside Goku's mind, he could hear the voices of all his friends and family giving him support, but those weren't the only sounds in there. He could hear the screams of all the people of Earth as Beerus' attack struck the surface and eradicated every last one of them. He thought of his children, his grandchildren, his friends, his allies…Chi-Chi…he could feel every last one of them dying and that was enough to make an man crazy with rage, but Goku wasn't just a man…he was Saiyan. And on this day…he was so much more…he was the Super Saiyan God!

A huge burst over energy surged within Goku's heart and exploded from within. His Ki flared up once more and this time it was a huge raging fire with massive signs of static. His hair returned to the style of a Super Saiyan God and Goku screamed with a piercing intensity. He turned towards the blast and smashed his fist through it, detonating the blast in the middle of space, thus keeping the Earth from harm. And when that was done…there was silence. Nothing. Just…quiet.

Goku returned to normal and floated there on the spot, breathing extremely heavily. That last moment had drained every last bit of what energy he had left. Beerus came down to Goku's level and stared at him.

"How did you manage to embrace that power again?" Beerus asked, completely confused, just like Goku.

The Saiyan looked up at Beerus and smirked.

"I don't know…" Goku replied weakly before closing his eyes and dropping back towards the planet. Beerus quickly jolted forwards and caught the Saiyan. He then returned to the surface, placing Goku on the ground and waited to be joined by the other party attendants. When they arrived they all ran to Goku's side to sure he was ok.

"I'm fine, guys…seriously…it's cool," Goku told them all as he steadily returned to his feet. Beerus' smirk disappeared.

"I will now destroy the Earth…as I promised," the God told them all as he raised his hand and the faintest bit of energy started to appear. Everyone was wide-eyed with confusion and fear, but all of a sudden there was a flash of light and…gone.

…

No, not the planet…Beerus and Goku. They were gone? Whis stepped forward and quickly looked to his staff. Not knowing what could've happened. Everyone else stared at the spot where Goku and Beerus had been with wide-eyes and open mouths. What was going on?

Meanwhile, up on the Supreme Kai's world there was another flash of light and Goku and Beerus appeared out of thin air. They dropped to the ground with a thud and looked around in confusion.

"What the hell is going on?!" Beerus questioned angrily. He turned around to have a look, but came face-to-face with the same cloaked being as before. Just like that, Beerus shut up and stepped back. He swallowed hard and nodded. "It's good to see you, what brings you here?"

"You." The being replied, not wasting any time. Beerus didn't know what that meant and just scratched his head. "You…have been far too reckless. You aren't doing your job."

"Hey, I'm doing part of my job," Beerus responded, stepping forward confidently, but then froze when he realised who he had just said that to.

Back on Earth, Whis had finally found the source of this mystery and he too, froze up. He quickly turned to the rest of the group smiled.

"So it turns out that Beerus will not be blowing up your planet and Goku has been returned to the Supreme Kai's world, safe and sound," Whis explained, but that didn't seem to give the group any sort of closure on the situation, "Sorry for any bother."

He then turned around, tapped his staff to the ground and teleported away. Everyone else just stood there in silence and had no idea what to do.

Back on Supreme Kai's world…

"You're so much further away from being ready for the quest, you don't realise how serious your position is, do you?" The cloaked being questioned and lectured the purple-skinned God and Beerus could do nothing, but stand there and listen. "You'll never become a full-fledged Guardian of Death and Destruction this way."

Goku's time to join the conversation. He stepped forward with his hand raised.

"So Beerus isn't a complete God?" The Saiyan questioned.

"No, unfortunately," Beerus answered, "I'm only in charge of preparing planets for renewal, not all the proper duties."

The Cloaked figure then turned to face Goku and the Saiyan felt the intensity.

"You should also know better, Saiyan," The being told Goku, "And Beerus, you pull any more stunts like that then I will find another subject to take the position."

Goku stepped forward and apologised politely while Beerus seemed to sulk. Whis shows up at this point and also comes over to quickly apologise for what had happened. The Being just turned away from them all.

"Leave now, you two," He instructs Whis and Beerus. They nod and get into position.

"By the way…Goku," Beerus called out. Goku turned to face the God and was wondering what he could want. "You were a formidable opponent…maybe we'll fight again someday."

After that they leave and Goku stands there feeling proud of himself for standing up to a God. He remembers to try and question who the cloaked being is, but as he goes to do so the being has already disappeared. Goku scratched his head, wondering what it was all about, but then realised there were more important things to take care of.

"I'm so hungry…"

Later on, back on Earth, the party had continued and there weren't any problems for the rest of the night. Everyone had a great meal and a good time. Noca and Vegeta are resting on top of Capsule Corp. and look up at the sky. Noca has a big question on his mind.

"Vegeta, what do you think about this whole 'Super Saiyan God' thing?" The teen asked, not bothering to look away from the stars. Vegeta turned to look at his cousin and student and he pondered the question for a second.

"We don't need it…" Vegeta stated, bluntly. Noca turned to look at him with a furrowed brow. He wasn't sure what Vegeta meant. "I would rather find a way to become that powerful on my own…and trust me…"

Vegeta stopped and turned to face Noca again.

"We will be that strong."

"Good to hear," Noca replied with a smirk on his face. He laid back and closed his eyes, "We'll train as hard as possible."

Vegeta looked at his student and let a smirk crack across his face. He turned away and also laid back on the roof. He too closed his eyes and thought about the possibilities that were coming in the future.

There would be difficulties, but…there would also be Super Saiyans.

I know that some of you may have anticipated a big fight between Noca and Beerus, but that was never my intention. It was always for Goku to come and be the Super Saiyan God. Now, that is the last you of this transformation. I don't plan to include it later on. I apologise if you were hoping for any this to happen, but this is my story after all.

Hope you enjoyed, nonetheless and don't forget to leave a review.
