Ok and welcome everyone, the names Aaron, and to my brand new work of fiction here and I would like to say thank you everyone from my other stories on the love and support for these couple of years and hope you continue to be a loyal reader for many more to come.
I know I don't have the greatest sense when it comes to telling a story or novel as through either my descriptions, longevity of fights, pacing, world building and consistency, and many other aspects but I want to improve and do better do that I can make these stories the most high quality and enjoyable that I can make them for you.
I truly love a good and well thought out fan story, especially a crossover, and there are either not enough or more often than not, get scraped entirely. But I want to make one for everyone to enjoy and myself. I have all these ideas I had for a story like this such as the groundwork, introductions and placement and with reading a lot of stories recently on this crossover, I decided to do one.
So without further ado, let's begin!

The cosmos within the universe is vast, with billions upon millions of light years to travel through in this open space. Housing planets, star systems, and galaxies which in turn house life. Life forms come in completely different environments, ecosystems and locations that in turn make the inhabitants have different looks, characteristics, and attributes from one planet to another. However, in one area of the universe lies a planet outside the living universe itself, and that's where we meet our antagonist.
A strange planet where the lower part has a shape similar to a square pyramid flipped upside-down, and the top is made of a giant thick dead tree with a number of buildings on it. Several buildings of the temple are located on the giant tree, with each of these buildings having this clay and marble fusion in terms of building material. Living around the temple are several kinds of animals, including birds and butterflies. Around the temple is a gigantic lake that includes several kinds of sea creatures, such as the Oracle Fish and a monster who looks similar to Nessie. There were also various bright colored moons around the temple.
But within the dead tree itself lies the castle of an old and decrepit state. The dark, old and barely lit stairway that could possibly hold hundreds of floors and have enough room for dozens of people to traverse through at the same time, was being walked through by a single man. His light sky blue skin being apparent and distinct from the other gray and dark colors occupying the staircase within. The only illumination in there to light the blue man's way are the beady holes every so often within the tree so light can come through and the purple gemstones refracting the light when being hit by the light.
The man's overall demeanor was cold and expressionless as violet eyes looked to falling debris from up above him. His pristine and silky white hair was standing tall and straight, it curves at a slight angle at the tip. But his most confusing look is his rather effeminate features, such as his feminine jaw structure and violet lipstick which you could have mistaken him for a woman.
He owns a long scepter with a black gem that floats above it, and is usually seen holding it in his right hand, but right now was being held behind his back. Around his neck is a large light blue ring. Donning his attire consists of a maroon robe, a black cuirass with white and orange diamond decorations, and a blue sash. He also wears black high-heeled shoes with long toes resembling winklepickers with white spats.
This individual here is named Whis, the attendant and master of the individual who is causing a ruckus at the top floor as he walks through the staircase. 'He seems to be in a slightly worse mood than usual, although it was his discretion to wake him up at this time.' Whis monologue to himself but didn't know why his student would pick this time period, usually it was about fifty years before he awakened but he picked thirty-nine years this time.
He pushed open the two massive doors leading towards his students' sleeping quarters with ease, despite his lean and scrawny stature, he was more than capable of lifting weights of millions of tons. He approached where a couple of floating boulders and a bed cradle was stationed at. Whis clears his voice and with a loud enough sound to his calm voice said "Lord Beerus, it's time. Time to wake up."
A sign of movement was spotted in the floating cradle as a twitch from a giant ear was noticed by Whis below, signaling him that his student heard him. Although no further movement was persevered so that also means his student went back to sleep. Whis sighs at his antics and says "And please don't fall back asleep. Recall that you yourself after all set the alarm bomb to go off at this time, would hate to see you oversleep and one of your backup alarms to-" however Whis was interrupted by the sounds of explosions going all around him, it appeared his protege destroyed whatever remaining backup alarms they had.
"Fine Whis, I'm up." Said a groggy voice up above the ground. His eyes closed and half asleep but nevertheless, awake.
"I just don't want you sleeping in for 15 years to late and getting annoyed like the last time, but if you require some more coddling" to which the attendant instantaneously brings out a microphone and prepared his vocal cords by coughing and getting adjusted "I'm always happy to show off my vocal range with a singing performance to roust you." Whis began warming up but his key was so off pitch that it sounded like a car being keyed, to say the sensation was unpleasant would be an understatement.
"I said I'm up!" Yelled Lord Beerus towards his attendant down below him. "But this bed is so… comfy…" as Beerus then in an old fashioned cartoon begins to make his descent to where Whis is, hitting the boulder down below him and even walking on air before realizing there was no ground at one moment. He lands ass first onto the rocky pavement and yawns as if the hits he took didn't even hurt. Even during his 39 year hibernation, Lord Beerus still looked the same prior to his sleep and even millions of years before that. Beerus is a purple anthropomorphic cat with golden yellow eyes and large pointed ears. His form is hairless and while overall defined inbuilt, he is very thin and bony. He is of a similar height to males on earth being 5'10, being slightly shorter, but his ears make him appear taller. The cat man is known as Beerus the Destroyer, he is the universe's residing deity of the universe and his only occupation is destroy worlds. Beerus the Destroyer is his official title but would rather be named just Beerus.
The only thing covering him would be an oversized white shirt that has overstayed its welcome, the shirt being littered with holes and dirt from all the sneezes that Beerus would occasionally let out as his sneezes hold enough power to destroy planets a dozen times over. The cat man licks his left forearm and begins rubbing his saliva all over himself. "To count his truly restful slumber, I would need to get at least 50 years. 39 is little more than a catnap." stated a restless Beerus as he licks other parts of his body like a normal cat would.
"Lord Beerus again it was you who chose this wakeup time, and if I may, why would you choose this date?" quizzically asked the teacher of Beerus as he thought it was strange for him to make a request like this. In all his millennia of working for him, being asked to be awoken at a certain date caught the attendant off guard but certainly doable. Slacking off, relaxing, and eating gourmet foods from other planets but certainly not being asked to wake up early.
"There's something I need to check for myself." Stated the anthropomorphic cat as he is fully awake and ready for his duties.
"Well in any case I've prepared a bath for you, go on before it gets cold." Asked Whis to the Destroyer God in his ever calm and nonchalant tone.
"But I'd rather not, you know I hate baths." said Beerus as he scratches behind his ear like a quadruped animal would, by using his feet.
"You're covered in soot from all these explosions Lord, and after your nap I'm sure you've got mold in your ears. Now." Stated the attendant with some authority and aggression behind his request, much like it isn't a request and more of a threat.
"What if I refuse?"
"That Beerus the Destroyer may be powerful but boy does he stink up a room, soon they'll start calling you the destroyer of noses." Said Whis jokingly to his protege, finding enjoyment at his own humor as well.
"Whis, your pitiful attempts at humor make me want to go back to sleep." to which Beerus looks up to his master's violet eyes and said "Maybe I should destroy you." Said the destroyer in a sarcastic tone as he very well knows he can't do that, but does know how to quip back at his teacher for banter.
At the dinner table where it was an oval shaped marble table with many different kinds of foods the earth has never seen. Sea foods that looked completely bizarre with oysters having the size of a house cat, catfish that looked to have a thorax and abdominal abdomen like the ones found in insects, fruits and vegetables with the weirdest features and many other delectables. And it was all being gorged down on by Beerus, while Whis was off to the side watching his pupil eat.
"Well I enjoyed my all-to-brief slumber, did that upstart Frieza manage to eradicate planet Vegeta for me?" Asked the destroyer to his attendant as he eats his full course meal with a turkey leg in his right although the innards are a blue-green color and a goblet in his left.
"Yes, without a trace in fact." Stated Whis as he was cutting into a thick chunk of ribs from some big creature. The anthropomorphic cat gazed over to his long time mentor and friend by the news "ah good to hear it, I would have given the bumbling upstarts on that planet an eternity to shape up. But they'd still be nothing but trouble, I mean I would have been happy to blow the damn planet up myself but it's so off the beaten path, wouldn't you agree? Rather use that time for a nap. All that said, I'm no fan of Frieza's either. So self-important. If we cross paths again I'll gladly eliminate the entitled bugger out."
"Impossible I'm afraid, during your nap someone already defeated Frieza." Stated Whis nonchalantly as he served the cut ribs to his student, who looked shocked by the news. Frieza was no destroyer god but wasn't someone to be trifled with either, so it begged the question of… well, who?
Who has the balls to fight and actually best him in a fight?
"What!? Someone more powerful than Frieza? I won't believe that until I see it." Said the purple cat man as the news brought about a hundred questions, but the most prominent feeling was curiosity. Intrigued to see the fighter who bested that pompous windbag of a ruler.
"Allow me to explain." Said Whis humbly as he stopped pouring into his students goblet and instantaneously sprang out his scepter. With a tap of the scepter's bottom end, it emanated a blue and green light which shot out to the middle of the room like a projector and started flashing different images and colors like orange, gold, and white. Then it started recreating a certain event during the destroyer's hibernation, better known as the fall of Namek.
A humanoid man seemed to be hunched over with distress and fury plastered on his face, his black palm tree esc hair was blinking gold in and out and his eyes did the same with it turning a blue-green, he had the raggiest clothing due to all the holes, dirt, and blood smeared on it. Across on the other side of the field was another being but a little shorter. He was completely white in pigmentation except for the violet colored crystals embedded into him on his shoulders, head and chest. He had circular funnel shaped ears, black lipstick, and crimson colored eyes with two slits beneath his eyes that streak down and connect at his chin. This person was known as Frieza, an intergalactic space tyrant that was also responsible for the destruction of the saiyans going extinct.
"Funny this looks strangely familiar, who is that man in orange and blue?" Asked Beerus curiously as he watched the footage of said man beating down the intergalactic tyrant within an inch of his life.
"He is a Saiyan, answers to both the names Kakarot and Goku." This only got the destroyer even more curious about the situation. If this 'Goku' fellow survived then who else did? How many survivors are there? And more curiously, what is that transformation he is performing to beat down Frieza?
"When you said planet Vegeta was no more I assumed it also went for the Saiyans?" Said Beerus confusingly as he now sees Goku charging up a beam attack of some sort and Frieza engulfed in his own energy and flying straight towards him. He looked at his mentor for the answer.
"Yes. It's true most of them did perish, however a few who happened to be on other worlds at the time were spared. Including, I should mention, the king's heir prince Vegeta." Said Whis passively as he answered his students' questions. Beerus looks back up at the footage "I thought a Saiyans hair was supposed to be black? I have to say I'm surprised to see a Saiyan being capable of defeating Frieza." To which he grabbed a nearby egg the size of a football and with a light tap with his finger nail, erased what was once an egg into nothing more than gray powdered dust.
"Well the Saiyans have harnessed a technique, a potent method of powering up whereby they transform into what they call a Super Saiyan."
"What was that? Super Saiyan you say… Super Saiyan ah! That's it." said Beerus mumbling to himself, he looked back to Whis with revelation as to why he wanted to wake up early in the first place. "That's exactly what it was!"
"I'm sorry what 'what' was sir?" Asked Whis as he didn't know a clue as to what his pupil was talking about.
"It was Super Saiyan something… Super Saiyan…" Beerus then remembered something that he had, something that would relieve his boredom and give him excitement in his long and non tumultuous life. That transformation was "GOD! YES! I had a dream about it! A vivid dream, where I fought a Super Saiyan God who looked just like this one!"
"Uh huh?" The proclamation in which Beerus is stating is a high notion for a moral to attain status to a God. He doubts it because Beerus has been wrong before but it isn't out of the realm of possibility.
"You know what it means don't you? A premonition, A PREMONITION WHIS!" His ecstatic mood began to levitate his chair off the ground at the prospect of having a rival.
"And you're sure it wasn't just a dream?" Whis was sceptical as he deactivated the footage from his scepter and states "forgive me but your premonitions, they don't have much history of coming to fruition do they. If you'll recall, that dream you had a while back about the pop star moving here didn't exactly pan out."
"You're mocking me aren't you." Beerus gets out of his chair and chants a couple of words in the native tongue of the gods. A white light encompasses him and his outfit changes to his destroyer outfit. He dons black, blue, and gold Egyptian-looking attire with blue pants and no upper torso clothing. He has a black and blue necklace with the same white and orange diamond decorations as his mentor Whis, and dirt brown shoes to complete it.
"Ok follow me."
Beerus and Whis both were walking out from the castle and onto their blue green pasture in the courtyard, they appeared to be looking for someone of great importance to the God.
"Oracle! Oh, Oracle where are you!?" Beerus yelled loudly to the bright pink nebulous sky within his domain. The bright sheen appeared, then a small object came nose diving to their position with great speeds to theground. However not fast enough to catch the deities off guard as they casually move out the way. The object, or life form, is a blue fish-like being that has a long body that resembles an Eel's and with miniature blow holes running down its side. This is the Oracle fish, a great and wise seer and pet for Beerus. It groggily gets up from its nose dive and addresses Beerus the best she can.
"I was taking a walk, what is it?" The gull the fish's attitude towards Beerus is annoying sometimes, maybe one of these days he should eat the damn thing.
"Thirty-nine years ago, did you not prophesied that in thirty-nine years time, an arch rival worthy of me would appear." Said Beerus with a hint of smugness and bravado laced with his long awaited premonition. Whis knew that the statement was also directed towards himself and his long history of the destroyer's prophecies not coming to fruition.
"Huh… Did I say that?" The fish says innocently as she forgot about a prophecy like that appearing, much less a prophecy coming true at all.
"Yes, that's what you said." Said Beerus in a deflated and aggravated tone, it was his chance to have a win against his teacher only to feel like an idiot. Whis snickered at his student's attempt to one up him.
"Huh… then I guess I did." If she said it before then she'll confirm it for the destroyer, she'd rather stay alive than be inside the other side of the cat man's mouth.
"You hear that, the Oracles prophecy confirms my premonition," gloated Beerus to his master with a face of victory plastered on it "an arch rival of mine will reveal itself to me soon." And with a mighty bellow, Beerus raised an arm of his and declared his decree. "And he shall be a Super Saiyan God!"
"This all rather sounds far-fetched to me my lord, it's difficult to imagine one such as yourself even having an arch rival lord Beerus." Said the tall blue man, but was open to the idea of someone like that existing and depending on their potential, could be the next candidate to become the next God of Destruction whenever Beerus kicks the bucket and fails his duties.
"Even If the Oracle fish exaggerated the strength of this particular foe, the fascinating adversary is due to emerge anytime now. And that's why I prematurely woke from my slumber." He stated as he climbed his way up a partial cut down tree and sat cross leg, staring at the mesmerizing lake in front of him.
"Ah, I see, that's one mystery solved." Whis who was sitting at the same tree just on a branch a little ways away, asked his pupil "So I take it this means you intend to pay a visit to the Saiyans?"
"Of course I do, I must track down this so-called Super Saiyan God." Said the God of Destruction with an almost malicious and eager intent to his tone.
"Super Saiyan God… Super Saiyan God, such a grandiose over-the-top name isn't it. Sounds tacky if you ask me." Commented Whis on the name of such a being with the power potentially rivaling the Gods, only to have a basic and unoriginal name like that. Name aside, the master of Beerus looks into the bulb within his scepter looking for the location of the Super Saiyan God, bringing him to the location of a backwater planet. "And I've located them, it would appear that most of the surviving Saiyans, by my count five of them, are currently in 4032-Green on planet 877. It's a little world called Earth."
"Is that right? I'm pretty sure I've been to that planet before though it's been a while. Wasn't that the one with all those Dinosaur creatures with their attitude problems. They were so rude I drove them off to extinction." Said the cat man recollecting his past memories on the planet, let's see if these new inhabitants are better or will suffer the same fate.
"Now this is odd. One of them, the same Saiyan that defeated Frieza in fact, it's at this very moment in North Kai's world for some reason." He said which alerted Beerus about this Saiyan. Why is he there? Did he die and get special permission to go there or something else entirely?
"A Saiyan in a Kai's place is quite suspicious." Beerus commented about the situation. "But what could it mean? Tell me Whis, how long would it take for us to get there?"
"Roughly twenty-six minutes."
"So about the length of your average anime episode. I hate long waits, but what choice do I have? I'll suck it up and wait." The destroyer said annoyingly as no matter how fast they travel, the universe is still vast and expansive, even at this very moment. But in order to reassure his student and his temperamental attitude, Whis says "Alright, we'll depart at once."
Enchanting an incantation, Whis with a light tap from his scepter on the ground, begins to emanate a bright light around them. The light surrounds the duo in a light pillar with many other lighter colors strewn in the mix. The two begin to ascend slowly but then shoot off high at faster than light speeds, heading to their first destination.
"Off to the planet of the North Kai."
"aaaaahhhHHHHHHH!!! No! NO!" Screamed an overzealous man at the top of his lungs, as if screaming was an everyday norm to him. The man in question most distinguishing physical characteristic is his hair. He has three bangs hanging to the right of his forehead and two bangs hanging to the left. His hair also stands up in the front with four spikes and three bangs in the back. His build was that to be out of this world with insane low body fat and perfect definition in his body, making it look like it was chiseled by god himself; Biceps, triceps, abdomen, pectorals and thighs. Everything was in shape. He donned his infamous orange Gi and navy blue undershirt secured by a black knot-tied obi over his waist, blue wristbands, and dark blue boots with a yellow border and red laces.
This is none other than the legend himself, Son Goku, one of the last few remaining members of the Saiyan race and one of the most powerful mortals in the universe.
"What is it, Goku!? What's going on!?" Said a short blue man as he runs over to Goku. wears Teashade sunglasses and has a very short stature with a pair of cricket-like antennae. He is known as King Kai, the ruler of the north quadrant in the universe and one of Goku's many teachers.
"It's Bulma's birthday today and I totally forgot! This is really bad King Kai, she's going to be pissed!" Said the worried Saiyan as King Kai slid on the ground face first by the explanation he was given.
"Don't scare me like that, my heart almost exploded." He said as he rids himself of the dirt and grime from falling.
"But you don't get it, you don't know how scary she can be." Said Goku as he starts to sweat profusely about his on-going dilemma. What kind of present should he get? Should he suit up? Is it too late to apologize? Before he said another word, Goku noticed that his teacher's demeanor completely changed. He went from fine to downright terrified, and he couldn't pinpoint why?
"King Kai…" said the Saiyan cautiously. He didn't know what to expect, he didn't sense anything coming but he should be on guard.
The Kai jumped and was sweating bullets, his facial expression was petrifyingly scary and looked as if God himself was about to smite him. "Goku, we're in serious trouble and it's heading this straight for us!"
"What!? Why, what's happening!?"
"BEERUS IS COMING!? You don't know him but as we speak, Beerus the destroyer is rapidly approaching this planet."
"Beerus the destroyer, who's he?" Asked the martial artist as he definitely doesn't know anyone by that name, if he fought someone strong, then he'd remember. "And how come I'm not sensing anything?"
"That's because you can't sense the presence of deities, just remember from above all else. Whatever you do, refrain from doing anything that might upset him, or he'll destroy us!" Said the Kai rapidly and vigorously as to make sure his pupil doesn't do anything stupid in his short time before his arrival.
"How hard can that be? I'll be fine." Said Goku as he turned his back to King Kai and silently jumped at the prospect of fighting a new person. With a title like 'the destroyer' he has to be strong.
"You worry me sometimes." He said flatly as his student antics and decisions are what cost him to get into unnecessary trouble, then another spike of power altered him that Beerus is here "quick, Goku, get inside the house now!"
"Huh, why?"
"JUST DO IT!"
"Geez, would it kill him to say please." Said Goku as he made his way to King Kai's semi-spherical home, without a care he propped his arms behind his head and went inside.
"Hurry! Now why would Beerus come here of all places, it doesn't make any sense?" As the Kai dusted off any soot and dirt off his clothes to look his most presentable in front of his lordship.
"Why indeed."
Then in a nervous fright that he's in, King Kai turns around to be graced by the presence of Beerus and Whis, the two most powerful beings in the universe.
"Oh, lord Beerus, it's you." Said the Kai of the north as his tone was much higher pitched than normal.
"Oh, so that's him huh, the mighty Beerus… wait, the blue guy or the cat guy? They both look important anyway." Goku looked from inside the Kai's open window with awe and amazement, although he couldn't figure out who Beerus was since he couldn't even sense their energy.
"Oh lord Beerus, what a pleasant surprise. Welcome to my humble abode, I appreciate you coming all this way just to see me." Said north Kai as he directed his attention to the anthropomorphic purple cat, guess that answers which one was Beerus.
"Oh so that's lord Beerus, but wait he looks like a big, hairless, house cat." Commented Goku from the sidelines.
"Yeah, it's been a while. Hasn't it north Kai. But you know, I must say, your world it's… more on the smaller side." Said Beerus as he looked around, to which his observation was correct. The planet itself looked like if a football field turned into a ball, then just added a path way and trees.
"Huh, oh, well umm yes I suppose it is a little cozy. Please, excuse the umm, cramped accommodations." Said the blue Kai as he was beginning to worry that Beerus won't like it and might destroy his little planet. Thankfully Whis commented and saved the planet's destruction for another time.
"Long ago, after Lord Beerus lost an especially spirited game of hide and seek, he destroyed this world. Shrinking it." Recollected Whis as to why the planet is the size it is today. Thank you Whis for the save.
"Really Whis, I did that?" Said the destroyer as he had no memory of ever playing hide and seek, then remembered it. One day, all the gods such as himself and the Kai's meet for their annual development meeting such as discussing the new upcoming Kai's from the sacred tree, what kind of worlds should prosper life, and the mortal level and how far their development has come. After their discussion, Beerus was bored and brought up the idea of hide-and-seek. All the Kai's agreed and made the rule that an entire planet is their hiding ground, and that Beerus volunteered to be the seeker first. The game began and Beerus was absolutely livid, as he couldn't find a single person, so in a fit of rage, he decided to make the planet smaller so that it'd be easier to find everyone.
"Of course you had this planet restored didn't you King Kai. It could have been returned to full size easily, I'm sure a Kai of your level knows that. Guess you simply prefer it to be small and cozy." Said the attendant as he gave his analysis of the planet, to which the blue Kai laughed it off but Whis was totally right.
"Anyhow, to what do I owe the pleasure of your company, lord Beerus?" Asked the Kai.
"Ah, that's right. There's a small matter I'd like to discuss with that Saiyan your harboring." Said the God as he turned his attention to the Kai's home, more specifically the open window to which he can see a lock of black, spiky hair.
"Oh crap!" Said Goku as he ducked behind the covers and hoped that they'll forget about him.
"Come on out."
"Oh that's right, where are my manners. I should have introduced you to him." Said the Kai as he bows repeatedly for forgiveness, and might regret what he might say next "G-Goku, come say h-hi to our guest, lord Beerus."
With permission to come out, thanks to Beerus's reluctance, the energetic Saiyan leaps out from the window and runs over to the trio. In old Goku fashion, he greets them with a salute from his right hand and says "hi, it's me Goku, and I'm a Saiyan from Earth-…" but his introduction was interrupted by King Kai bashing his head in.
"I had a feeling you were gonna say that, you're old enough to know how to offer a proper greeting. Show some respect!" Said the angered and very violent Kai as he was very much displeased at how he was acting. He doesn't know but himself, Goku, and the Earth could be wiped away if he isn't careful.
"Got it." said Goku as he adjusted himself and properly bowed in traditional japanese fashion. "Uh well, hello there, so i'm uh- sorry. I mean, my name is sir goku sir, it is an honor for you to meet me." said the orange clad saiyan as he tuned his voice to sound more proper and polite. At least King Kai can't fault him for trying.
"If you say so. Now that 'that's' out of the way, there was something I was hoping to ask you about. So now, what can you tell me about the existence of a Super Saiyan God?" asked Beerus, hoping to see if one of these Saiyans would be the Super Saiyan Gods he was looking for.
"Super Saiyan God huh, let me think. I know all about plain old regular Super Saiyans but this Super Saiyan God stuff isn't really ringing any bells dude." to which the Kai was not too fond of how Goku responded and hummed very lightly to warn him. Goku readjusts himself and says "I do not know of it, good sir."
"I must admit that this is the first time I myself have heard of any mention of a Super Saiyan God." interjected North Kai as he didn't even know mortals could attain the power of the God's without the proper procedures.
"Ah, I see." But this didn't deter God as he still had another concern, regarding to a certain slain tyrant. "So I was told by Whis here, that you were the one to beat that bastard Frieza." To which Goku confirms it, that he did beat Frieza on planet Namek. Although Beerus couldn't understand how a Saiyan like him could do it so he starts inspecting him all over.
"It doesn't seem possible that you could defeat him as you are. But I understand you're capable of transformation, into one of these Super Saiyans."
"Yes it's quite the power up. You're very well informed." said North kai.
"And yet, you know nothing of the Super Saiyan God… say Whis, is prince Vegeta able to turn into one of these Super Saiyans as well?" to which his long time assistant and friend confirms his answer "Yes. as are each of the other three Saiyans who are presently residing on Earth."
"They all have this power huh? This strikes me as odd, though, perhaps I need to go ask them instead." said the anthropomorphic cat who was gazing out to the vast and endless yellow clouds and was now looking at everyone.
"But lord Beerus, I doubt that they know any more about the Super Saiyan God than Goku does?" said the chubby Kai as his suspicions were coming true and the Earth might be in danger. Hopefully they won't doom themselves.
"That may be but we won't know unless I ask them, will I. Whis, how long will it take to reach Earth from here?" asked Beerus to his attendant.
"Approximately about three minutes, give or take." Said Whis as he began to prepare for light speed travel, but he doubted it as something impeccable was going to occur.
"That's not too bad, then it's settled. It's time I checked out this Earth."
"About that," asked north Kai as he suspected bad things were going to happen "you're not planning on destroying it or anything, are you?"
"As long as nothing there happens to annoy me."
"Hey listen," said Goku, injecting himself into the conversation, "you're supposed to- sorry I mean- lord Beerus sir, I hear your lordship is incredibly strong. How about showing me just a teensy bit of your strength?" Asked the hyperactive fighter with hand gestures to signify that he really wants to see what Beerus can do.
"You want me to demonstrate my power? What have you in mind?" Beerus was taken aback by this at first. It's not every day that someone fights a destroyer God willingly and lives to tell the tale. The Saiyan must be pretty confident in his skills or perhaps…
"We can go toe-to-toe in a sparring match. Even if it's just for a minute!" Happily said the Saiyan as he was getting pumped about his request.
"Silence Goku, that's enough out of you!" Shouted King Kai to Goku in a furious heap.
"I have lived for a very long time yet never in all my years have I been issued a challenge such as yours. You certainly seem quite sure of yourself in your abilities. Or could it simply be, that you're just an arrogant fool."
"Yes! He is a fool! He's a big, dumb, stupid fool just look at him!" Said the Kai as he points to Goku while yelling all of this to make sure his point gets across.
"Why not." Said the destroyer as he would be lying if he wasn't at least a bit curious as to what the Saiyan can do. "Go ahead and come at me with all you got."
"Sweat, I uh, I mean thank you good sir. But are you sure you want my full power right off the bat? If I hurt you, I don't want you getting ticked off and taking your anger out on this planet?"
"You have my word. Now then, let's begin." All hell's breaking loose, Goku issuing a challenge to the destroyer and on top of all that, why did it have to be his little tiny home? It was all but assured when Goku gave the final call.
"Ok."
Separating his legs further apart and bringing his arms down to the side in an arm curl position, Goku's entire form changed with his coal black eyes changing to teal blue eyes, it once held that of his innocence now replaced with ferocity and fury of a battle hardened veteran. His jet black palm tree esc hair now turning golden with most of his locks pointing upwards, having about four bangs still presented at his face. And a golden aura springs to life, enveloping Goku like a fiery energy field. His muscles such as his forearms, biceps, calf muscles, and thighs tense and bulk up, increasing in mass by a few inches and slightly veiny. Goku transformed into the legendary Super Saiyan, a transformation forgotten in time that was thought to be a legend by his race.
"See first I have to transform into Super Saiyan." Said the energetic saiyan that once sounded upbeat has turned deep and malicious. Then his form changed again with a slight noticeable appearance, his hair being more defined and pronounced, and having less bangs with only two at the front, and has a slight increase in muscle mass once again. Not only that, but his eyes also being sharper, having this icy-cold glare behind it. The most noticeable change was that there was bioelectricity whipping around him appearing everywhere within his aura.
"And then next I go on to Super Saiyan two, a Super Saiyan form which has ascended past a Super Saiyan." To say that the Destroyer God was impressed? Yes, but the Saiyan wouldn't even be able to be perceptible to even touch him, let alone compete, as the difference is palpable. Hopefully this Goku fellow has another trick up his sleeve. Then the Saiyan in front of him started to get in a squatting position and his body tense. He yelled as he was powering up for his next transformation.
This time this transformation was a complete makeover compared to the other two, while still retaining the golden color sheen to his hair, Goku had his hair grow out and down his back stopping just to his waist and instead of two bangs was now only one. While for some reason having his eyebrows removed completely, just skin in its place. And finally the last difference is his bioelectricity being more active and prominent as compared to his last transformation. Goku's aura shoots up due to the increase in power and raises his right fist high in the air, as if declaring his power was powerful.
"Now, finally comes the one you've been waiting for, the legendary Super Saiyan three." Stated Goku as he smiled in anticipation for the upcoming brawl, he knew this guy was strong. Stronger than any opponent he came across so far, but Goku also knew he was strong himself. The blue Kai of the North hurried over to his little abode for any protection at all from the upcoming battle which may destroy his planet if they are not careful.
"Well, well, well, this is a surprise. It would seem all this Super Saiyan talk isn't just a bunch of hot air after all."
"Heh heh, not bad huh? If you want I can dial it back down to two if you want?" Wait, wait, wait. Did he hear that right? Did the Saiyan say to dial it back? A MORTAL going easy on himself of all people? Wanting to challenge a being stronger than yourself is one thing, but insulting him is another. Beerus has met a lot of guys throughout the cosmos during his time as a deity who think they're hot shit but Goku certainly takes the cake. Beerus isn't malicious or sadistic in any way, as he just gets the job done and be done with it, but he'll take pleasure in knocking down the Saiyan upstart a peg or two… or like his entire existence. 'I'm going to enjoy this immensely.'
"Oh no that won't be necessary," as Goku looks to Beerus by his calm and monotone behavior, as if he wasn't a challenge to begin with "well, just try your best." To which the Super Saiyan took offense and initiated the fight.
Goku with immense speed to go hundreds of times faster than the speed of light, covered the distance between himself and Beerus in less than a nanosecond and launched a right jab to the destroyer's bony face. However the cat man with no effort blocked the attack, lifting up his own left arm and catching it. Still in his grip, Beerus then grabbed his arm and pulled Goku forward while at the same using his free hand launched a right hook for the saiyans cheek.
The punch sent Goku back flying, barely recovering from the blow. The power, the concussive force, the speed, it was all brand new as Goku hasn't fought a being this strong. Not even Majin Buu was able to put up this kind of power. While still focusing on Beerus, his hand instinctively went for his mouth and wiped away something that was there. Goku noticed that it was a crimson red liquid, an all too familiar sight he's known throughout his time in battle, blood. But not just any blood. It was his blood. 'What the hell? I'm already drawing blood on his first punch?' Looks like it's going to be harder than he thought.
He didn't have time to squander as Goku vaulted towards Beerus again. Throwing an endless volley of punches, but Beerus's defense was too strong to overtake, like an invisible radar for where he'll attack next was there, either blocking or parrieing his punches. Goku wasn't getting anywhere, in a last ditch effort went for a strong right to the destroyer's abdomen. Beerus reacted to this and blocked him by grabbing onto his wrist, then the martial artist went for a second gut punch only to be blocked again the same way. Goku grunts in frustration while Beerus smiles with glee.
Without missing a beat, the anthropomorphic cat clutches to the back of the saiyans head and brings it down and brings up his knee, resulting in Goku's forehead being severely damaged. The spot where Beerus hit him started to leak a bit of blood dripping down his face slowly, not only that but the impact also gave him what seemed like concussion. Goku was sent flying back in the air and Beerus followed it up by teleporting where Goku will be and bringing his hands clutching together and slamming it down like a sledgehammer onto the same spot on Goku's forehead.
The Super Saiyan crashed down onto the tiny green planet and caused a crater on impact. Before thinking his next move, Beerus came crashing down to Goku's position with his arm extending out. It looked like he was about to punch. The Super Saiyan swiftly gets out and back flips out of the crater and gets his bearings as he clutches onto the grass, just barely getting out of harm's way as the god struck the crater where Goku once was, only making the hole deeper. "Heh, nice reflexes there." Commented Beerus.
Although Goku didn't share the same humor or sentiment as Beerus did, instead he was thinking up ideas on how to combat the overpowered cat. Charging up as much Ki he can muster, Goku brings his hands cupped together and to the right side of his body. He began chanting a couple of syllables for most presumably an attack "Kaaaaaa Meeeeee!" Beerus walks out the crater and sees his opponent standing charging his attack, instead of going after him, he instead puts up one hand in front of himself as if it was his defense. "Come at me with all you got Saiyan, don't you mess this up now!"
"Haaaaaa Meeeeee" Goku's cupped hands started to emanate a tiny blue ball of energy the size of a marble that quickly expanded into the size of a softball and was still growing. The pent up energy in this ball was capable of destroying the solar system a dozen times over, time to see if God can hold up to his title. Goku thrusted forward his arms along with the ball.
"Haaaaaa!" The blue ball then transformed into a beam, a beam that was fifteen feet tall and eight feet wide, capable of encompassing a couple of people within its destructive light. But Beerus wasn't just some person, the beam slammed into his outstretched hand but was stopped dead in its tracks. His hand alone was able to stop a kamehameha from a Super Saiyan 3!? However it didn't deter Goku in the slightest, instead it worked in his favor as Beerus's guard was lowered. Seriously, one hand to defend against a beam?
Goku rode the kamehameha, jumping into the beam and surfing through to where the God's position was. The protégé of Whis didn't notice this before it was too late, as he noticed the Saiyans hand come out of the beam and grabbed his outstretched wrist and was moved out the way. Then Goku's entire body was shown as his other free arm was cocked back. The Saiyan launched a haymaker of his lifetime right into the destroyer's cheekbone, actually moving his head back a bit, if only slightly. Goku was pleased by the results while this only ticked off the God.
"And what the hell was that supposed to be?" Asked Beerus calmly while at the same time his tone and eyes were seething with rage. "While I applaud you for that quick strategy, it would work against any other opponent really." As he shifted his head to where Goku's fist was now on his chin instead of his cheek "But doesn't work against someone like me." Goku backs away slowly as he now knows what he's up against. He is truly outclassed here.
Beerus fazed in front of him and clutched his right arm, and without hesitation or remorse pulled his arm forward and drove his knee upward and his elbow downward, cracking his forearm breaking his ulna and radius. The sheer pain and agony happened too fast for Goku to register, as the pain reared its ugly head after a couple of seconds and he clutched onto his broken arm. His scream was all that was heard on the tiny planet.
The Super Saiyan looked back to God with a disgruntled expression as he grasped onto his fractured arm, the situation was getting worse and worse. Trying to think up another solution or defense against the god, Goku positioned himself in a sideways stance and has his left arm out in a fist, at least this way he can defend and counter.
Beerus has grown tired of this fight as Goku never truly possessed any real challenge, much less a threat, and simply began walking up to the defeated Saiyan. He spent his time wasted on a pointless fight and now has to go to earth. "Well would you look at that, the ultimate warrior and strongest being in the universe has lost. Although you can rejoice that it took a destroyer god to beat you. However before I leave, just know one thing," Beerus speed blitzed past his one arm defense and had his finger out just an inch away from his forehead "in the face of true power, you are powerless to do anything but stall your inevitable. And never forget that." As he speed blitzed the Saiyan again and karate chopped at Goku's nape, his eyes dilated and shrank into non-existence, knocking the Saiyan out of commission as he fell to the floor.
"Ok Whis let's go, there's clearly no Super Saiyan God here." Said the disappointed anthropomorphic purple cat as he walked to Whis with his arms folded behind his back.
"So it seems, our time here has come to an end." Said Whis as a white and gold light started to encompass the two deities, it seemed their little chase isn't over yet. The blue Kai runs out of his home and stands out, clearly disturbed by the battle as he thought Goku might stand at least a sliver chance, but the power difference is so much more palpable than he thought. "Indeed, North Kai, I bid you good-day."
The North Kai runs over with a handkerchief in hand, Goku was still alive but in so much pain. Beerus was a god, through and through, there was no way his former student couldn't win, but did his best trying to wipe away the blood off him on this broken planet. "You got your butt kicked dum-dum. I'm surprised he didn't destroy you for the disrespect you showed him."
"Disrespectful attitude towards him? Are you serious? What did I do, I just met the guy?" Asked Goku quietly as he quickly awoken but also with annoyance stricken with his tone. It hurt to concentrate, let alone talk to King Kai. "Yeah, that 'I can dial the level down' or how about 'please let me fight the god' ring a bell."
The Saiyan simply keeps his mouth shut and realized the gravity of the situation, all that 'trash talk' and Beerus is out for blood. And the guy is heading straight for earth… where Vegeta is also there… this can't be good. King Kai also realized this and quickly turned away from Goku and set his antennas to the direction of Earth, trying to get in telepathic communications with someone, a very prideful someone. "Oh dear, now Earth's endangered too, I got to contact Vegeta and get him up to speed on Beerus."
Inside a barren room with amazing technological machinery and devices set up around a spherical room, a man was inside training to his heart's content in order to break his physical limitations in order to get stronger. He is a slim yet very well-built man of a below-average stature, standing at 164 centimeters tall. His hair is black and spikes upwards. He has a prominent widow's peak. Like most Saiyans, he possesses defined eyes with a consistently stern look to them. His general look is a dark blue, full-bodied jumpsuit with white gloves and boots with armor on top of the body suit. The armor he wore was a white armor with yellow shoulder pads strips. This man is Vegeta, son of the King, King Vegeta, and self proclaimed rival to Goku.
Vegeta was training in what looked like to be in a room where the gravity is on scale to amp up the normal gravity of earth, otherwise the term being hypergravity training. The science behind the training is by accelerating the already one G. the Earth is forcing on you which is 9.8m/s2 and adding it by a positive vertical G. or the same kind as jet fighter pilots experience when taking off. Except the amount of the machine is outputting is to the extreme in which its going at five hundred times gravity. To say it was a challenge would be an understatement.
Not only did the gravity room prove enough of a challenge to the prince, but the room also had these spherical bots that were also incorporated into the room to give Vegeta a goal. The goal was to turn off the bots while they were firing energy projectiles and in five hundred times gravity, to be honest that would give anyone else one hell of a workout but to the prince, it's a good enough warm up.
The man in blue speed blitzes the robots at incomparable speeds in which they can't keep up, instead they shoot out in random directions because their sensors or operating systems were too slow and couldn't detect him. Vegeta opted for the one at the far end of his left, there goes one. Next he went for one that was more towards the right and high in the air close to the ceiling, that's two down. And this went on until by the sixth robot where he was interrupted by something, or in this case someone "Hey buddy it's me, King Kai! Can you hear me!"
The sudden interruption made the prince extend his arm out too much and destroyed the poor mechanical machine "This better be really damn good." Said the annoyed Saiyan in a gruff and husky voice despite his stature.
"My message is extremely important, Beerus the destroyer has awakened and is heading towards Earth." Said the blue Kai with urgency and panic, his face also resembling a face that he's seen a nightmare come to fruition,
"Beerus the destroyer? I think I heard that name once as a kid." The name definitely sounded familiar with a title like that, but he couldn't put the face? Maybe a white humanoid with purple eyes and a staff? No that's ridiculous, way too obvious. Maybe a cell look-a-like with a flat mushroom head? No, not as threatening. Perhaps a big guy with a beard and has control over darkness and calamity? No way, a destroyer shouldn't be fat to begin with.
"Well he's back and stronger than ever, so do NOT engage him in any way. So that means no; fighting, insulting him, don't even look at him funny. Otherwise if someone or something were to set him off, it would mean the complete annihilation of the Earth."
"He'd really destroy the Earth?" Vegeta scoffed at the notion as he heard the same spiel over and over about the eradication of Earth, even he attempted it once but was thwarted off because Goku stopped him. If he could commend the low class for anything, even though he won't admit, it is his ability to keep rising to the challenge, no matter how big the obstacles he faces.
"Yes he would destroy the Earth, don't question a God like myself. Goku fought him and he's in serious pain, lying almost unconscious in a crater by just a couple of blows."
"Whoa! Wait, what? Kakarot is down!" Vegeta was starting to sweat due to the statement the Kai just said, in a couple of blows!? There has to be a mistake, Kakarot maybe a lot of things but a pushover isn't one of them.
"He went Super Saiyan three and everything but he's barely breathing after just a couple of blows. And these weren't any kind, they were deliberate and aiming to kill." He said ghastly as he looked back to the martial artist who was being checked upon by the Kai's long time friend, Bubbles, who was pit pocking the Saiyan for something he might have brought.
"The fate of the earth lies entirely on your hands Vegeta, don't screw this up." Vegeta let's the information he just heard sink in as he starts to think about strategies to either defend against the destroyer or to cooperate with everyone but he didn't see Buu listening at all. And there was no telling with that idiot hercule, but he needed to think of something.
And think of something fast.
Bubbles after pit pocking from the defeated Saiyan finally made a discovery, feeling a weird assortment of tiny lumps he pulled out a brown sack of what looked to be… green beans? However these weren't any beans, they're senzu beans, these beans carry a magical property to them in which when one is eaten, the user's wounds are healed instantaneously to some capacity depending on the wound and their strength, stamina, and vigor is also restored as well, as if the person was never in battle at all to begin with.
Feeding the helpless Saiyan one of these beans, Goku wounds, including his broken arm, were completely restored. With a renewed vigor, he places his palms behind himself and front flips back on even ground and takes back the magical beans from Bubbles and places it within his Gi. "Man, how am I supposed to get strong enough to defeat lord Beerus this fast. Maybe that Super Saiyan God guy but where can I find him?"
"I tried to warn you but no! Just be glad he didn't kill you." Said King Kai as he turned to his graduated student with an annoyed look on his blue face. However that look faded as he saw the animated urgency and grievance expression on Goku "there's only one way I know how to get stronger, I have to perform fusion with Vegeta again." Goku's face told it all as he only got more frustrated with his dilemma "no, even then I don't think we're strong enough to beat him then."
King Kai tries to reassure his old student the best he can "we just gotta cross our fingers and hope that the people of earth don't do anything to get on Beerus's bad side." Wow, some pep talker Goku guessed. Maybe he should just stick with jokes.
Goku quickly gets in the Kai's face and bombards him with questions. "Beerus said that he was looking for the Super Saiyan God. Do you know anything about that, King Kai? If so please tell me, is that a level I can reach through more training or something else? Is there another surviving Saiyan out there?"
The Kai of the north is wise and knowledgeable about what happens in his sector of the universe but even he doesn't know a person going by that title, or if they even existed in the first place. He just didn't know.
"I'm sorry Goku but like I said, that was the first time ever hearing of a Super Saiyan God. To be honest I didn't know mortals could attain the powers of the gods?" Said the Kai was puzzled.
Goku just looks out at the horizon of the general direction of earth on King Kai's tiny green planet "This is looking bad, should I go back to earth now and see if I could help? Or wait it out and keep training, and plan my next move?" Then with a quick thinking decision the orange clad martial artist brings a brilliant plan on what to do. "Wait that's right, the Dragonballs! We could use the Dragonballs to summon the Super Saiyan God and bring him here, that way Beerus would be satisfied! Or learn how to become one ourselves!"
For once, Goku made a plausible case in defeating Beerus, using the Dragonballs is a brilliant idea in either getting this so-called Super Saiyan God to appear or learn how to become one since the eternal dragon is omniscient. "Wow, that's a great idea Goku, but you better hurry before Beerus arrives on Earth! Otherwise there won't be an Earth for much longer if something ticks him off!" Exclaimed the Kai as he frantically waved his arms.
"Right, I'm on it!" As the energetic Saiyan began running off with putting his middle and index fingers on his forehead, using one of his preferred techniques in his arsenal known as the instant transmission "Wish me luck!" Then in a blink of an eye, he disappears instantaneously away from King Kai's planet and presumably heading towards Earth.
"Good luck old friend, this may be your toughest challenge yet. The world is counting on you."
Teleporting into the fray of capsule corporation chefs cooking delectable and exquisite entrees, Goku was accidentally bumped into by a hurried waiter with food that the world has ever seen. Roasted pork, marble steak, grilled kabobs and many other delectable dishes that were on the floor and now ruined because a guy in some jumpsuit who appeared out of nowhere. Everyone just stops working and looks at Goku wide eyed at how he even did that to begin with.
In son like fashion, the Saiyan brings his hands together in a prayer and begs for forgiveness from the cooks "I'm really sorry about that, I didn't mean to. I gotta get going but I'll repay ya back later." As he runs out the kitchen door and into the halls of capsule corporation.
Before some of the cooks could go after him, the head chef named soma stopped the avengers "stop, he's one of Bulma's many guests and long time friend. If you wanna get in trouble with miss Bulma then go ahead but it won't end well. Just get back to work." To which they listened to quite obediently although a few grumbles could be heard within the kitchen.
After running out the distressed kitchen, Goku figured that he was at capsule corporation judging by the C logo plastered on their uniforms where their heart would be. But that's weird? Why would everyone come here to capsule Corp.? Then he remembered that today was…
...Bulma's birthday is today…
This isn't good, if anything Bulma might make a scene with Beerus for trying anything. Goku needs to find where everyone is-
"Hey watch it!"
"My bad!"
Huh, that voice is familiar? Two people accidentally ran into each other, and these two individuals were none other than Goku and Vegeta. Well this is convenient.
"Oh hey Vegeta!" Excitedly Goku said as he got back up on his feet.
"Kakarot? What the hell are you doing here already? I thought you were beaten and by the sounds of it, it was really bad." Vegeta exclaimed as he got up as well. If what King Kai said is true then they are in the fight of their lives.
"I packed some senzu beans before I went to King Kai's place, but yeah, Beerus is so much stronger than any of us could dream of. Where's Bulma, we need to get the Dragonballs before Beerus shows up." Said Goku urgently as the two full blooded Saiyan started running and making their way out the many corridors and halls of the capsule corporation headquarters and out in the backyard.
"We have the Dragonballs right now, they're in the prize room for the bingo tournament. What does Beerus want with the Dragonballs anyway?" Asked the Saiyan Prince as the duo stopped in place in one of the intersection halls within the headquarters, there certainly were powerful objects to pose but what would Beerus want with them? Immortality? More power? What would Beerus the Destroyer want with a title like that?
"Beerus doesn't want the Dragonballs, he's looking for someone or something with the name Super Saiyan God. Maybe the dragon can tell us something about this Super Saiyan God and we could probably beat Beerus that way." Said Goku explaining the situation to Vegeta and getting him up to speed. However this is only confusing the Prince as he never heard of a Super Saiyan God before, even being the heir of King Vegeta, something like this should have been mentioned to him once at least.
"Wait Super Saiyan God, I've never heard of it before." Said Vegeta quizzically.
"This is also the first time I've heard of it but I believe this is the only way to beat Beerus, fusion won't work at all, we're just not strong enough to compete with him." Damn, the power gap between them and the God is this palpable, huh.
"Ok this way Kakarot, the prize room is this way." Said the blue spandex warrior as he turned right and sprinted off fast with the orange clad martial artist close behind him. Rounding the corner they see a room with the title that says 'prize' on the front. Opening the door and swiftly running through, they run into the middle of the room where they reach a glass casing and inside the casing was a set of seven orange balls on display. These were Dragonballs, seven magical orbs the size of a baseball with each ball containing a dark red star imbedded into each one with it either containing one through seven stars.
"Ok Kakarot, what's the plan?" Asked the prince as he opened the case protecting the Dragonballs and grabbed a couple of them. "The plan was to wish for the Super Saiyan God here or ask shenron how to become one ourselves." Explained Goku as he grabbed the remaining and both started heading outside towards the backyard where Bulma's party was being held.
"And you think this Super Saiyan God will be able to defeat Beerus? There isn't any other way?"
"No. Even with fusion I don't think we still stand a chance. But I'm willing to bet the chips on this working, cause if this doesn't, I don't know what else to do." Said Goku seriously as they rounded the last corner and headed through the backyard door. This was behavior Vegeta's rarely seen from Kakarot, so he's willing to trust his judgment on this one.
When they went outside, they were immediately spotted by friends and family alike, shouting praise, excitement, and annoyance from a certain blue haired birthday person.
"Hey Goku, glad you could make it!" Said a midget from the duo's left.
"Alright Goku's here, now the party can really get started!" Said a lean yet muscular toned figure to the right of the Saiyans with a couple of noticeable scars on his face.
"Goku! What took you so long? We need all the numbers we can get for the bingo tournament so get over here!" Said a grouchy and hammered woman with her black hair done in a bun. She said with a serious and intense tinge to her tone.
But all were ignored with distress and urgency as the two quickly placed the balls closely packed together near the ocean blue pool side of the backyard. Before either Goku or Vegeta could usher a word, they were quickly stopped by a very agitated and aggressive woman. She had milky cream white colored skin with expressive light blue eyes, and to match she has the same turquoise blue hair styled in a bowl-cut shape. She donned a sleeveless purple dress and a light green kerchief tied around her neck. She wears red sneakers and also wears small gold earrings. This woman is Bulma Briefs, the daughter of the smartest man in the world, smartest woman on earth, and wife to Vegeta.
"Oh what the hell is this? First you two don't even show up and decide to train on your wife's/best friends birthday! And now show up stealing the Dragonballs from the bingo tournament! You two better have a very good reason to show up like this!" Said a maliciously intent woman hellbent on hurting the Saiyans.
"We do Bulma and sorry about that, happy birthday." Said Goku trying to defuse the situation but Bulma wasn't having any of it.
"It's a little too late to say sorry Goku!" Howled the president of capsule corporation. Her aggravated temperament was on full display and she didn't care who it was, she just wanted her husband and best friend to be there on her special day.
"Look I'm sorry, really I am. But a big threat is coming to earth and we think the Dragonballs can help us. Please Bulma I'll make it up to you later but the world is at stake." Pleaded Goku desperately for his long time friend and ally to listen, in which she did without a doubt.
"What are you serious!? Then sure, go ahead! But what's so different about him apart from the other guys like Cell and Buu to be a threat?" Asked the scientist as she starts to freak out a little bit. Then her husband interjected into the conversation.
"Well for starters, he's known as Beerus the destroyer. I don't know the details but I remember him faintly from my time on planet Vegeta. He's strong, stronger than anyone up to this point so far." Said Vegeta coldly as he tried to get on with summoning the eternal dragon for their help.
Goku helps solidify Vegeta's notion by adding "he's a destroyer of worlds, his job is to literally destroy planets so that new life can come back to replace those that even annoy Beerus." He said as everyone in the party we're starting to get scared at such an act. Even though they faced worse, fighting a being like this is still a frightening situation to be in.
All was not lost, as the son of Goku, Gohan, speaks up "but you can beat him, right dad? He can't be that powerful if he can only destroy planets?" He said.
"You're wrong Gohan," Goku said as he turned to face his eldest son "he's different from Frieza, Cell, and Buu. He is cunning, dominating, and indifferent about the way he goes about his business. He will get what he wants and will get it, by any means necessary. And trust me, his power is something else, I fought him and was completely outclassed. Even if me and Vegeta fuse, I don't think even then we still have a chance."
The Z-fighters were quiet and on edge about this Beerus character. Destroy worlds on a whim with an impassive demeanor, being able to beat Goku casually, just what the hell were they going up against?
"Well that's certainly a way to describe me. Although confident and lax is a better description."
Wait… what? Who said that, no one recognized that voice except Goku. They all heard high in the sky and looked to see a purple anthropomorphic cat and a man with blue skin descending down slowly. No one really got intimidated except for Goku and strangely enough even Vegeta, Goku for his experience but for Vegeta it ran even deeper than Goku's experience, as it ran right into his childhood.
As a kid, his father told stories of someone that he should always be weary of, that not even Frieza would dare to oppose this being, for his power was too great to match. And at one point during his childhood is when Vegeta encountered this being. He has many epithets to describe his authority within the cosmos; lord, God, destroyer, but one that stuck the most was…
Beerus The God of Destruction.
Beerus was on a planetary meeting of sorts with the ruler of the king at the time, King Vegeta, or better known as his father. It was a complete fright fest as the people, culture, history, and existence was on the line. Instead of incorporating the people and their way of life, and what they could bring to the future, it was all judged whether Beerus liked the cuisine the inhabitants had prepared.
To say it was a biased decision wouldn't even begin to describe the unfairness, the ultimate ultimatum; either make something good for him, or risk your planet's destruction.
Vegeta, who would be around eight at the time, would first see and know of Beerus, and his first impressions of him were rather lackluster, with an aloof attitude and not looking very intimidating. And yet his father would bow down and kneel, grovel, and subjugate himself as if he was a peasant in the presence of a God. But Prince Vegeta couldn't understand it.
When Beerus arrived, the prince was told to not interfere in any way and was told to be locked up in his chamber's. But he disobeyed and decided to hide in the main dining area because that's where the meeting was being held. And so the 'meeting' commenced as his father's head was on the receiving end of Beerus's foot, all the while dish after dish of saiyan cuisine was being rushed out to Beerus's every beckon call.
And the prince was watching it all in utter disgust at the way his father was being treated, the Saiyans are a proud, powerful, and indomitable race to be weary of and yet the King of all was nothing more than trash to him. His Royal lineage and birthright being tarnished by some cat man.
When Beerus was done eating, he asked King Vegeta a question "Can your miserable little brain comprehend why I'm so angry Saiyan King? Answer me." The prince didn't know he was or even why, it has to be a good reason.
"Because I promise to fulfill your mission at the time that you gave me Lord Beerus but it took longer than expected." He answered with haste and worriedness as to not further upset him.
"Wrong." As he applied more pressure to the already heavy amount he's exerting on his foot. It was practically crushing and caving in his skull.
What? What mission? How long was it? Just how important was this mission for him to be this upset over? 'Father is being humiliated, how can you take that? Just who is this filth!' Thought the prince as his blood was boiled with rage.
"I consider myself to be a rather flexible deity, I know that you mortals have your limitations where there is one thing I cannot tolerate. The callous arrogance of those who do not pay the respect a destroyer is dew." With practically slamming his face down, Beerus rubs it in by shifting his foot to make it hurt more. Then picks up the King by his hair and says "I ordered you to find me the most comfortable pillow in all the universe and I know for a fact you obtained it. That should be more than enough reason to destroy you here and now." Before continuing the interrogation, he lets go of his hair and compliments him.
"Your tenacity was impressive although your methods were a bit severe." As he puts his foot back on the King's head "I bet you don't even know how many creatures you killed in that raid, of course being what I am, I could have accepted all that if you actually given me the best pillow instead of keeping it for yourself. Instead you try to fool me with the second best." Beerus brought his foot again for the king's face to meet the ground, the impact created an indention in the ground.
Are you serious? All this for a pillow? What kind of bullshit is this? Having enough of the anthropomorphic cats behavior, Prince Vegeta stops hiding and rushes out to his father's aid "Bastard! That's the king of all Saiyans!" Beerus without so much as looking at him simply squints his eyes and the eight year old flops down on the floor like a lifeless corpse.
"Please don't hurt him, do anything you want to me but just don't hurt him, he's only a boy." Pleaded the king to the destroyer with a behavior no Saiyan has ever seen, forgiveness. On that day, Vegeta forever engraved that name into the inner depths of his psyche.
Beerus the destroyer.
And with the encounter with Lord Beerus from long ago, old memories were resurfacing with a tidal wave of emotions ranging from anger, hatred, and caution. But the most dominant that Vegeta was struggling with was fear. This was different from Cell and Buu, it almost resembled the feelings he had against Frieza on Namek. The feeling of hopelessness, despair, anguish, and defeat. Just the pressure Beerus is exerting right now is making his veteran body tremble uncontrollably.
The two hardened Saiyan warriors stood back and tried to relax themselves, going up against Beerus head on is a foolish attempt. With the destroyer and attendant now only fifteen feet off the ground looking at everyone attending the party.
"I must say you got here quite fast, if I may, how did you get here?" Asked the destroyer, having a fixed gaze towards Goku. The martial artist looks up to the God with his middle and index finger on his forehead and explains "it's a technique I picked up from Yardrat, called the instant transmission. It allows me to travel anywhere so long as there is a Ki signature there to locate to."
"I see, maybe after I'm done with Earth I'll go pay a visit to Yardrat and destroy them as well. Well, whatever the case in how you got here, you shouldn't have come back unless you finally figured out the Saiyan God prophecy." Said Beerus coldly at the development of mortal life recreating instantaneous travel.
"Well I haven't worked out all the kinks to it yet, but I do know you can't blow up the Earth." Said the orange clad Saiyan trying his best to reason with Beerus in avoiding Earth's destruction.
"Are you serious? Destruction is in my very name!" Said the annoyed and temperamental cat man as he had veins popping up around his head.
"Believe me I'm aware of that Lord Beerus, but just this once can you please give us a pass?" Pleaded Goku in a distressed and worried tone. If this doesn't work then maybe the Dragonballs can help, but he has to hope that Beerus allows this.
"And if I do, will you still fight me?" Said the destroyer mockingly towards the Saiyan.
"Yeah I would love to settle the score, but I'm sure I'd get killed. No matter what power level I'm at it won't be a fair fight." Goku explained to the God, to which everyone else around was surprised. How could Goku give up so easily at a crucial moment like this, the opportunity to challenge someone like this is too good to be true, and he doesn't want to fight? Much less for everyone else.
"But I do have an idea, Lord Beerus I need a couple of minutes to try this idea. It's for summoning this Super Saiyan God guy you've been looking forward to meeting. I think I know how to do it now. But it's not gonna be easy." Said Goku, who was adamantly hopping for this plan to work.
"I'm listening." Said Beerus calmly and excitedly. At least he'll cooperate and let the earthlings do their thing.
"Can you give me, like, five minutes. Just a little time, that's all I need." He explained as Goku showcased by doing a pinching motion with his hand.
"Alright, you got five minutes. Make it count." And with that as his answer, Goku, Vegeta and everyone else's hope soared with a new found tenacity and vigor. Hopefully with this allotted time Goku's plan works. And with that they start setting up the Dragonballs to summon Shenron, the eternal dragon.
"My Lord Beerus, you surprise me. I thought you given up any hope of finding this Super Saiyan God."
To which Beerus looks back to Whis and answers "I woke up after a measly thirty-nine year nap for this. If there's any chance he's not bluffing, I might as well take it."
Whis was surprised by his logical patient thinking process that his student showed "How level headed of you." To say that Whis was proud of his protege would be a good description of how he's feeling.
"That said, this reprieve I've given them shall be the last for this bumbling Saiyan. If he can't find the Super Saiyan God for me, I'll destroy more than this planet. The whole solar system will pay. And then after that, I'll destroy Yardrat as well." Coldly said the anthropomorphic purple cat as he and his attendant floated down on solid ground and sat at a nearby table with a sunroof umbrella over them.
The orange, star imprinted balls started glowing a bright yellow orange, signaling the user it's ready to be used. Goku wasted no time and ushered the words "Eternal Shenron, by your name I summon you forth!"
In a dazzling display, a giant pillar of golden yellow instantaneously, ascending past and parting clouds along the way. With a sudden turn, the bright cyan blue clouds and white puffy clouds were enraptured by dark and foreboding Gray Cumulonimbus clouds covering the entire sky, as far as the eye could see. The golden pillar soon started to take shape, an undulating form took place as a serpentine appearance revealed itself. Neon green scales on top and a creamy underbelly. Brown antlers resembling those of deer. He has long flowing whiskers, a long snout, crescent-shaped nostrils, crimson red eyes, and flowing green hair on his cheeks. This is Shenron, the eternal dragon residing within Earth's Dragonballs.
"I am Shenron, I shall grant you any wish." Reverberated a deep and booming voice from the dragon as his full form was displayed to the party guests.
"I gotta make this fast Shenron, have you ever heard of something known as 'Super Saiyan God' by any chance?" Asked Goku towards the wish granting dragon.
"I'd like to hear his answers just as much as Goku does." Commented Beerus quietly as he watched from the sidelines.
"Yes I have, is your wish to know whether I have heard of the Super Saiyan God."
"No, no, no, that's not it. I was wondering for my wish if you know where the Saiyan God is, I want you to bring him here." Asked Goku as he looked towards the dragon in hopes of fulfilling his wish.
"I cannot for one not yet exists. The Super Saiyan God can only exist temporarily in your world when multiple Saiyans project their energies onto another." Explained the giant dragon to Goku as he was getting fed up in not fulfilling his duties as a genie of sorts.
"Can you go over that one more time?" Dumbfoundingly said Goku as he didn't understand it all the way.
"So many questions yet no wishing, speak your wish now."
"It's more for lord Beerus, he said he'll blow up the Earth unless he needs the Super Saiyan God, right?" Said Goku as he turned his head to look at Beerus, who was calmly sitting in silence looking at the spectacle.
"Oh he's here! The lord Beerus! It's a pleasure to meet you, I've heard stories!" As the dragon's attitude and voice became more welcoming and high-pitched compared to any other summoning before meeting with lord Beerus. If someone can make a being like Shenron tremble, then how strong do they have to be?
"Likewise but I'm in a rush, tell them how to summon the Saiyan God." Demanded Beerus as he pointed a finger towards the dragon, which ultimately frightened the dragon deity.
"Has anyone ever seen Shenron frazzled before?" Pointed out Bulma.
"Long ago, a small group of pure hearted Saiyans questioned the evil committed by their race. The good Saiyans decided to lead a revolt against the bad and to ensure victory, pulled their powers together to create a savior, a Super Saiyan God. The savior easily defeated the evil Saiyans with his immense power, but then vanished as quickly as he came, as the energy the Saiyans had offered to him could not last for long. In time, evil again took root on planet Vegeta and the memory of the Super Saiyan God became a myth, merely lost all together. But I still know how to bring about another Saiyan God. Five Saiyans with righteous hearts must join hands and instill inner light into another. With his friend's energy flowing through him this Saiyan shall take the form of a Super Saiyan God. I have given you the knowledge you desired, your has been fulfilled. Please excuse me." And with the long explanation that the Dragon provided, the mythical creature disappeared instantly and the Dragonballs flew high in the air, dispersing across planet Earth.
"So first we need five Saiyans possessing righteous hearts. Ok I guess we have our bases covered for that." Said a green humanoid alien named Piccolo. Looking back to the other Saiyans in confirmation.
"Yeah we sure do, alright boys and Vegeta, I need you to give your power to me." Said Goku as the other four Saiyans did what they were instructed to do. Vegeta held hands with Goku on his left and Gohan, Goku's eldest son, held hands with his father on his right. The last two being Goten and Trunks held hands with each other and their family members respectively, creating a pentagon of sorts.
The five Saiyans rose high off the ground and began transferring their energy into Goku, although Vegeta wanted to be the Saiyan God of prophecy "Why does Kakarot get to be it."
"Come on Vegeta don't be like that, you'll get to be the next one, I promise. Besides I have fought Beerus already, I have the best chance in beating him since I know his movements." Said Goku with a cherry attitude, the opposite of a serious and brooding attitude that Vegeta usually puts on.
"Dad? Are you… feeling any different?" Asked Gohan quizzically, never experiencing the power himself so he didn't know what would happen or how he'd look like.
"No… I don't think so?" Goku answered as they continued the process.
All the Saiyans holding hands turned normal Super Saiyan, with each of their auras coming together and combining into a single pillar of fiery golden light. The energy they were exerting was incredible, actually causing some of the earth to rise and furniture to start flying back from the intense energy. The four reverted back to their normal base form while Goku was still Super Saiyan, gaining an exceptional power boost and having bubbling white lights sheen all around his super powered state, giving him this ethereal and heavenly vestige to him.
"Well, tell us. Is it working?" Asked the prince of all Saiyans as his rival still looked, for the most part, the same.
The five Saiyans descended down to the floor as they didn't see the need to keep floating, all the while the hybrids were gloating and praising Goku for this extraordinary boost, believing it to be the Saiyan God state.
"Dad, your energy is higher than any fighter in history!" Exclaimed Gohan.
"Yeah, we did it, we transformed Goku into a Super Saiyan God!" Yelled out Goten while jumping around.
"Alright, go and take care of those two party crashes!" Said trunks as he was extremely amazed by the power, if they had this kind of power against Buu, the boys wouldn't even need fusion.
"Don't bother with it Goku, you don't have the full power of a Super Saiyan God." Said piccolo as he and Vegeta knew the situation.
"Yeah… but-"
"You did briefly become stronger, but only because you absorb the others fighting energies."
"He's right, you know," said lord Beerus, coming up to the group to explain the situation. "I'm afraid Goku that your power was a superficial boost, not a transformation form. You're still no God."
To Goku's defeated mentality, he sadly says "it's true, I still don't feel strong enough to contend with him, much less beat him."
Then with grumbling and worriedness spreading amongst the crowd, Whis came up to them with very insightful and game changing news "excuse me, may I have your attention. You may have misunderstood, Shenron specifically said that the inner light of five Saiyans with righteous hearts must be instilled into another. That means you need a total of six Saiyans."
"So it didn't work because we goofed up the count. So six Saiyans, but where are we going to find one more?" Said Goku as he began to wiggle through his hair frantically.
"Alright I've heard enough, I thought I'd get to meet the god but I guess not. What a disappointment. I guess I'll head home for a much needed nap, after I destroy the Earth and it's solar system of course." Said the begrudgingly annoyed god as he was walking away along with his assistant. This trip has been nothing more than a fools earned, chasing a sailor's talltale from what the inhabitants call it.
"Wait, hold on lord Beerus, there is still one more Saiyan here." Said Videl, the wife of Gohan.
"What are you talking about? Who's the other Saiyan?" Asked Gohan who was confused about what his wife was or who she's referring to.
"Well he's quite not another, he's not quite strictly Saiyan like Goku or Vegeta. But I know he has Saiyan blood to go with the righteous heart. Honey, I'm pregnant!" Said the quite flustered and cherry woman, all the while looking at his husband for his approval.
Gohan couldn't explain it, emotionally he was ecstatic. Actually that wasn't the word, no words really could describe his sheer happiness and bliss he had for his new found family. He ran up to his loving wife "Are we really having a baby!" As he picked up his wife in a heartfelt embrace like none other before.
"We are! I wanted to surprise you but now is as good a time as any." Friends and family alike came up to the duo and congratulated the two, giving their blessings and hoping for a life of love and happiness. With Goku now becoming a grandfather, this gave him even more of a reason to win.
"Will you be transforming into a god or not?" Beerus was at the limit of his patients with these mortals. Always wasting his time when their lives are at stake. He simply didn't understand that concept.
"Fine let's add Videl and the baby into the mix and try again!" Said Gohan as he rushed over to the exact spot to perform the ritual again, with Videl in tow.
"Are you sure this will work? Our child hasn't even been born yet?" Protested the wife of Gohan with confusion in her eyes, being very sceptical that this'll work at all.
"We gotta at least give it a shot when the Earth's at stake."
With that in mind, all the Saiyans and Videl held hands and tried the ritual again. Turning Super Saiyan, with the exception of Videl, and pouring out as much power into Goku. It was evident with the soil and earth around, albeit small, started to rise up due to the strong fluctuations of power being emitted. Then a dark blue hugh started emitting from all of them, casting this aura of strength and confidence around each of them. Goku slowly rose from the ground and levitated just fifteen feet off the ground.
Goku was basked in an ethereal, almost divine like, glow that was completely different from his other transformations beforehand. A ball formed around Goku, completely camouflaging him. A sharp and deep light of different varieties of blue, from light and cyan to navy, was all that was seen from everyone's eyes. Feeling a nice and warm heat radiating from this blue ball compared to the rage filled emotional turmoil that is the original Super Saiyan transformation. It's like a mini blue sun was suddenly in front of everyone at the party, that was how Vegeta, Bulma, and everyone else could describe it.
When all was said and done, the ball evaporated as fast as it consumed him. Goku was now presented in a new look never seen in any of his previous transformations that are currently known to him. Still having the same hairstyle as seen in his regular base state, instead of black, his hair is a magenta red and becomes more refined, losing any stray hairs. The Saiyan's eyes become more detailed and the irises become red. Appearing as more relaxed, even in battle until sufficiently angered. The most notable change is the slight pink skin tone and the overall body structure appears to become younger and thinner in frame and build. The aura of the Super Saiyan God resembles a raging fire.
The existence of the Super Saiyan God has come to pass, and lord Beerus's thirst for battle is beginning to quench. A battle like none other before is about to happen. And he couldn't wait a second longer to relish in this fight. Maybe now he'll have an equal. Then everyone at the party started commenting about Goku's new look and power.
"Hey, he still looks like regular Goku to me." Said an anthropomorphic pig wearing russian inspired clothing.
"We'll yeah basically, but look at his hair. It's turned completely red." Said Bulma as she looked on with great interest at the form.
"I think he dropped a few pounds too." Commented an old man with sunglasses and wearing a Hawaiian shirt. This old geezer being Roshi, one of Goku's first teacher and parental figures when growing up.
"It's weird, I can't get a read on his power." Explained the dwarf with six dotted patterns on his forehead. He is Krillin, one of Goku's best friends and longtime rivals.
"Are you pleased Beerus? It seems like their efforts have been quite successful." Said Whis as he looks on with interest on how the fight will go. Will this mortal now turned god overthrow Beerus? Or will the current destroyer still keep his title as the strongest?
"Yes, it's my reward for being so patient." Said the destroyer as he sits up from his lounging chair and finishes up whatever of his drink.
"Wait, really? So you think that I transformed into a Super Saiyan God?"
"We should know for certain once we start our battle. So, are you ready to begin yet?" Asked Beerus as he couldn't wait a second longer. This'll be one hell of a match.
"Yeah, as long as you keep your word." Said Goku to Beerus as to the whole ordeal of not destroying the Earth.
"Why of course, as long as you're able to prove to be stronger than me now, I'll happily do you the favor of not destroying this world." Said Beerus as he was the type to always keep his word. Now that the stakes have been set, there's no going back now.
"Fine, at least that gives us a shot, right?"
"Alright everyone, things are about to get dangerous, you should probably give them some space." And to which, everyone who was present backed away and gone for cover, or whatever cover they could get to. With how this has been hyped up, who was to say that the Earth won't suffer any long lasting damages itself.
The two deities stared each other down, almost like their eyes were fighting for supremacy. Slowly, Goku started releasing an ethereal aura of fire, indicating that he's ready to go, while Beerus just smirks in anticipation. A small, single green leaf blew between them and landed on the grass in the middle of the two Gods. On instinct, Goku rushed forward towards the destroyer at incomparable blinding speeds that he didn't have before. "HYAAH!" Goku roared as he threw the first punch. To which Beerus blocks with relative ease in catching it, resulting in an enormous crater beneath them.
The Z-Fighters were astonished by the power that this new transformation was outputting, completely overshadowing the likes of Super Saiyan three and fusion. And it requires no kind of training, just a ritual. How did no one else discover such a broken ritual to begin with. It was mind boggling to the likes of Vegeta and Piccolo for such power to come into existence, just like that.
"So tell me, how does it feel to become a God?" Asked the destroyer as the boost in power was certainly felt with the transformation. And with the saiyans' fighting prowess, it'll be a battle worth remembering.
"It's incredible," said Goku as the two were still in the same position. "I've never felt anything like this before."
"I see, it surprises you." To which the two warriors disconnect from each other "it's taken you time to fathom what you can do now." To which Goku silently agrees with Beerus's assessment. Goku doesn't know what it's like to play God so he has to take another God's word for it, and go by intuition and instinct. The two other worldly beings float up high in the air while silently staring at one another, waiting for the other's next move. For a brief moment, their two intense gazes met before they lunged at one another. They collided in mid-air, causing a shock wave to echo as they clashed with fist meeting fist.
After a few moments of relentless struggle between the two warriors, they finally broke apart. Goku was astonished by the power boost it gave him, if he were to receive that blow before as a Super Saiyan three, he would die. At least with this they have a chance. "It would seem you're starting to become aware of the impressive scale of your new powers." Beerus duly noted as that punch was able to somewhat match him
"Yeah, I think I'm starting to get used to it. So get ready 'cause here I come!" Said Goku as his Ki shot up briefly before he vanished from sight. Beerus's eyes narrowed as he used his enhanced Kid sensing ability to locate his opponent. A resounding shockwave soon pinpointed the location of the Saiyan as he struck the destroyer across the cheek.
Beerus quickly got over it, as he has faced stronger punches before, and counterattacked with a high roundhouse kick to the Saiyans head. The destroyer capitalized on the opening and charged with a cocked fist. There was a massive clap of thunder as Goku vaulted through the air, reeling back in pain. Beerus wasted no time and quickly followed up. Appearing behind the Saiyan, he elbowed the Mortal now turned God in the spine. And the image of Goku gasped in pain, as he was thrust forward.
His flight was going to end as he tumbled towards the hard ground below. Nearing collision with the ground, Goku halted his descent and activated his aura. Growling, he turned and rocketed back towards the sky. Beerus was ready and greeted the Super Saiyan God with a pair of fists and kicks as he arrived. The martial artist parried them all, before returning the favor with some of his own. The destroyer mimicked the Saiyan's moves and simply evaded them all.
With a final and resounding shockwave that resonated across the planet, the two God's cocked back their fists and clashed as flesh met flesh. This clash of powers lasted for another couple seconds before the two separated from each other and started complimenting one another's abilities."What's with the face, you seem disappointed." Said the anthropomorphic cat man with a smirk full of smugness.
"Honestly I am." Said Goku with a bland and expressionless facade.
"Why? Don't you like being a deity?"
"Yeah, I do. But it's not the power, it's what it took to attain that power and what that means."
Beerus didn't understand what he was saying, why complain how you got it when you already have it? It doesn't make any sense. However when you attain a certain level of prestige and infamy like Beerus has, naturally things will come to you on a silver platter "I don't think I follow you?"
"I spent my whole life attaining the power that I have now thanks to my training and battles over the years. But this… this is a level I couldn't reach on my own. If I haven't discovered this Super Saiyan God, then will I ever be able to get stronger? If that was my full potential, then that's it! The bottom line becomes; there is no room for imagination, no space for intelligents, or ability or improvement! To me, it tells me that I'm at a dead end, and can never be stronger."
"I see, and that limit disturbes you? You say such intriguing things Saiyan, you aren't happy to have friends who help you become a god?" Asked Beerus as he somewhat could empathize with what he was saying.
"Yeah, of course I am. But it's not my strength. When you've pushed yourself to the absolute limit to become the strongest you can be, only to find out there's another power out there you can never reach, it sucks. And I hate that."
"If so, then why did you agree to do it?" Asked Beerus as he was curious to hear his answer.
"Because at least this way I have a chance to beat you." Said Goku as he got himself in a stance, ready for round two.
"Well, you seem to be addicted to battle." Noted Beerus from the response he was given, but that was far from the truth. This was to ensure that earth and everyone of Goku's friends weren't destroyed, he'll make sure of that.
There came a time when the old gods died! The brave died with the cunning! The noble perished, locked in battle with unleashed evil. It was the last day for them. An ancient era was passing in fiery Holocaust.
The final moment came with the fatal release of indescribable power- which tore the home of the old God's asunder- split it in great halves. And filled the universe with the blinding death flash of its Destruction.
In the end, there were two giant molten bodies, spinning slow and barren. Clean of all that had come before. Adrift in the fading sounds of cosmic thunder. Silence closed upon what had happened. A deep, long, silence wrapped in massive darkness. It was this way for a new age.
Then, there was a new light.
And out of this light, the new God's were born. On one half of that light was the planet known as New Genesis. Home of the new Gods. It's a gleaming and golden world with illustrious spirals that orbits a yellow sun which in turn, exposing the world to green forests, white mountains, and blue oceans. One could say it was the perfect paradise, perfection itself.
But with that, there is always another side to that coin. Wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. Where there is a concept of winners, there also has to be losers. Where there is love, hatred is also born. And New Genesis is no exception to the rule.
On the other side of that half, is the home world of Apocalypse, the ideal antithesis of what New Genesis stands for. In his dimly lit throne room, sits the tyrannical emperor of this accursed world. He's a gigantic humanoid with solid dark, gray, stone skin. He has crimson red irises and no pupils. He dons a navy blue and black colored scheme helmet and battle armor that mostly covers him other than his forearms and legs. This is Darksied, the ruler of Apocalypse and the epitome of evil and tyranny itself.
Darkseid's assistant and one of his closest friends he's ever had, DeSaad, came into the throne room with news that he believed would interest his Lord's goal in gaining the one tool he theorized existed in the universe, the 'Anti-Life Equation.' An equation that is said to bends life very will to the user, making them a mindless puppet. However that wasn't why DeSaad was here, he encountered something very intriguing that may be of use either way. While using their hyper advanced monitor system to scour multiple realities, he stumbled upon a battle that was taking place.
A battle between God's.
One was known as The God of Destruction, Beerus the destroyer. And while his power was great, significantly more powerful than his opponents, he wasn't interested in Beerus at all. Instead, the warrior in red is what caught his attention. After finding out what a Saiyan is, the ritual to attain Godhood, and the power it grants its user, he just had to tell Lord Darkseid alone with this news, perhaps this Saiyan could lead them in the right direction to looking for the Anti-Life Equation.
However there was more than that. Apparently this Saiyan was driven, driven to stop Beerus from destroying his world. Not only that, he was dissatisfied with how he attained the power to stop him. The Saiyan trained and fought battle after battle to get where he got, his potential and ingenuity was thrown to the waste side for an overtly easy power up. However even with all that, the biggest blow was to his pride and what that meant to his future. Without discovering the ritual, could the Saiyan ever get as strong as that with the right training regiment or was that his platue, his limit.
And DeSaad could see that, what if someone were to guild that clouded judgement and steer them in a direction where to teach that feeling of insecurity and underwhelmed, and channel that strength for something more, the single best agent for Darkseid, the possibilities were endless.
"Master Darkseid, I bring you most intriguing news that I believe will be to your liking." Voiced DeSaad as he ran up to his lord with great haste.
"Yes, DeSaad. What news do you bring that must be so urgent." Uttered the ruler of Apocalypse in a deep and reverberating baritone voice. As he looks to his subordinate with his dark crimson eyes on his throne.
DeSaad quickly brings out the footage of the battle between Beerus and Goku and reports his finding "my liege, I encountered a spectacle while looking through the countless universes and stumbled upon a battle, a battle between God's."
"Between God's you say? Is this all you have to bring me?"
"No, there's more, my liege. Apparently the one in red is actually a mortal known as a Saiyan in his universe who achieved the power of the gods!" Now this somewhat piqued Darksieds interest, but there has to be more to the story. "While doing more research, apparently the red one is quite dissatisfied with the way his power was bestowed onto him, what if we were to say, 'channel' that power to the will of Darksied, not even the kryptonian on Earth would be able to stand a chance! The more to their power sire, apparently their power comes from an innate power from within called Ki, the power to channel one's life force as energy! This mortal could lead us to finding out the Anti-Life Equation!"
Now Darksied was invested in this story. A mortal turning into a God, and is able to use their life force as energy? Perhaps there was more than meets the eyes to this Saiyan. The icing on top was if the Saiyan was able to beat the man of steel in combat. "DeSaad, bring up the Footage. I would like to review my potential new Fury."
"Yes, Lord Darksied." Said the assistant as he brings up the current situation on a large monitor for them to see.
Back to the battle with Goku and Beerus, The destroyer landed a swift heel to his opponent's chest and propelled him far away from himself at inhuman speed, parting the deserted mountain tops and plateaus on the way. It was a good thing that Goku gained control of himself and halted his progression at the right moment and activated his red flame like aura, otherwise he would have crashed into a group of hills where there seemingly was a farm.
Seeing the saiyan recover, Beerus seized the opportunity to strike him again and quickly rushing towards him, went for a powerful blow. But it was only the air that his fist connected as the afterimage quickly dissipated. However, the hilltop in front of him gave in to the force.
A concentrated blow from Goku's elbow to the back of Beerus's neck momentarily stunned the latter, enough for the saiyan to deliver a devastating double-axe on his back. The purple cat was sent crashing down at breakneck speeds onto the base of the crumbling hills. Upon impact, the ground caved in and the entire debris weighing billions of tons fell over him. The saiyan fired a barrage of ki blasts for extra measure, turning everything into dust.
Goku relaxed a bit when he stepped on the dirt ground below, keeping a sharp eye and his senses on the site of impact. He could still feel the destroyer's energy, and as Beerus levitated off from the melting crater, carrying only slight marks on his face which didn't faze him too much, the saiyan's doubts were confirmed. They had a brief stare-down for some time before Beerus spoke,
"You certainly surprised me there, I'm impressed by the level of skill you possess. However, you're still holding back, aren't you?"
"Yeah, I am, I'm still trying to gauge this level of power myself."
"Oh here, let me help you out with that."
The saiyan felt a hard jab on his kidneys as something powerful hit him; he might have lost his breath. Then something caught his hair from behind, arched him back and hit hard on his skull, sending him turning and flipping back to the ground. Goku quickly recovered and went on the offensive trading blow for blow, not wanting to give an inch against his opponent. Beerus won the exchange and decided to go for a triple axle kick and send the Saiyan God flying into a nearby mountain range.
"Haaaaaa!" Goku came out of the debris, seemingly short of breath and clothes as they lay in tatters, the orange gi nearly falling off his shoulder. He has a large gash on his forehead that was bleeding out from and had several burn marks on his body, Beerus on the other hand, although injured, did not seem exhausted.
"Wondering, right?" The Destroyer teased "I've fought in many battles in my lifetime and seen my fair share, more than you can possibly fathom. If you keep stalling like this, I'll Eventually win."
Quickly covering the distance between them in one single leap, he dug his fist hard in Goku's solar plexus and when he wrenched forward in pain, a sharp uppercut to the chin was enough to launch him upwards. Spittle of blood landed on the destroyer's face; as proof of the damage done.
Goku threw a fist to Beerus's face. The Destroyer flew back, completely stunned by the unexpected attack. Goku's fist eventually retracted but was quickly replaced by a leg. This time though, Beerus was able to block it. Switching tactics the Saiyan retreated slightly before launching another attack. Beerus was completely prepared this time and easily blocked the approaching blow.
Blocking another fist, Beerus lashed out with a knee which was blocked by Goku's elbow. The two warriors glanced at each other, before distancing themselves. But they quickly approached again, throwing an amalgamation of viscous strikes at one another. The resounding shock waves from the blows were tremendous, rocking the surrounding landscape. After what felt like an eternity, Beerus managed to gain the advantage in their skirmish.
With a quick head-butt, the destroyer ended the supersonic battle. The Saiyan God stumbled back as Beerus seized the opening he had given him, digging his knee into his ribcage. Goku gasped in agony before a fluorescent beam of light overtook his field of vision. The orange clad martial artist was sent rocketing away, as the blast detonated. The destroyer zipped off, quickly appearing behind the Saiyan.
Bringing his hands together, Beerus lifted them up before promptly slamming them down on Goku's back. The Super Saiyan God direction was rerouted as he was sent spiraling southwards, towards the ground below. A miniature sandstorm ensued as Goku slammed into the Earth. Goku's eyes were finally jarred open by the staggering pain he felt in his stomach. He attempted to stand up but found it too painful to immediately do so.
As he writhed on the ground Beerus landed on the other side of the battlefield, smirking as he walked towards the Saiyan. Goku frowned, as he saw the cocky look on his opponents face- he wouldn't be mocked. "To be honest, I didn't think you let me hit you to the ground so easily, guess I was wrong. And here I thought you were going to beat me, at least that's what you said." As Beerus sits on top of the beaten Saiyan and cocked his arm back.
"What a bore, I'm half asleep now." The anthropomorphic purple cat punched Goku square in the jaw, then another shot at his temple, and then another. "You bore me! YOU BORE ME! You were supposed to be different! Supposed to be worthy! But you put me to sleep like everything else! Is a little bit of excitement too much to ask for!?"
"Will this wake you up!?" Said the Saiyan as he headbutts the destroyer and quickly follows it up with a powerful uppercut to his chin. Climbing to his feet he slid into a basic battle stance, one he had done dozens of times.
Beerus gets up and applauds the Saiyans efforts "congratulations on the cheap shot. But this level of power you're showing me- well, how should I put it? It doesn't have any effect on me at all!" Stated the destroyer as he quickly tightened his body and began screaming to the heavens above. "Haaaaaa!" Goku stood in shock as Beerus finally finished powering up. The previously blackened sky had returned to it's normal serene blue. Goku had been confident of his power and abilities up until this point. Now he's not too sure.
Beerus quickly charged forward, arms outstretched in a punching motion. He was greatly circumvented, when his fist was evaded, by a slight head turn. Goku not noticing that it was a feint, experienced a world of pain as Beerus's fist submerged his fist into the confines of The Saiyans stomach. Resulting him spitting a large amount of saliva mixed with his blood.
The mortal turned Godquickly attempted to remove his fist but was unable to as Beerus bashed his skull against his own. Goku's head snapped back as he received a follow-up fist to the face. Unceasing, The destroyer capitalized on the momentary lapse, dishing out the most brutal combination of blows he could. The dazed Saiyan remained under attack for what felt like an eternity. Finishing his little combo attack, he bicycle kicks the Saiyan high in the sky, launching him past the stratosphere and into the dark void of space.
The wounded and seemingly defeated Saiyan was limping in space as he floated around, trying to regain his barings and thinking up ways on how to beat the destroyer. Then he heard Beerus a some amount of meters away, and couldn't really pinpoint where it was coming from or even a basic direction. All he could feel was the throbbing sensation of pain coursing through his body.
"Yoo-hoo, Saiyan God!" No response was given from Goku. "How long are you planning to nap? I'd like to get on with it, if you don't mind." Geez, mocking him while he's down, Beerus is ruthless in every sense of the word.
"Honestly, I'd really hate for destruction to serve some kind of a purpose. It makes it so much less pure. But if this is what I have to do to get my fun, then so be it." To which the destroyer clasped his hands together and began channeling his Ki to the center, and soon started expanding his energy into a violet ball of light. Goku took the time to at least recover a bit and see what he was planning to do.
"So tell me Saiyan God, how much do you love your world?" Ask Beerus as Goku finally regained himself and postured himself to now fully understand what Beerus is doing.
"No, you wouldn't." Said Goku in shock and disbelief at what he's looking at. Goku tries to reason with Beerus "Wait, don't do it Beerus! Are billions of lives just disposable toys for you to play with! There are families here, families with homes and futures, don't do this!"
"You only have yourself to blame. Of course they are, Goku. I'm a deity. What's more important: one backwater world, or a battle of Gods." To which Beerus says this last statement with such venom and no remorse backing his seriousness "it's not even a question."
Goku understands the seriousness of it now, looking back to the world that housed him and took care of him. Now it's to do the same one more time, it's do or die and he needs to lay down all the chips on the table. Silently activating his red fire-like aura and began to prepare himself "you want to see the power of a real Super Saiyan God. Then that's what you'll get."
The God of Destruction was very pleased with that answer, and instead of sending that pathetic Ki blast he opted for something more grandiose. Channeling even more Ki than before, Beerus started creating an orange and red sphere with such destructive capabilities to destroy the solar system already in the size of a soft ball. Then it expanded and grew in size. The Ki blast kept growing and growing, until it reached its peak size, like it was a miniature sun. For a God who destroys, he sure is able to create, albeit a destructive form of creativity. And all of it was on one arm.
The Saiyan cupped his hands to his side, bright blue energy gathering in his palms. "Kaaaaa meeeee" screamed Goku as he was charging his attack. This is his nail in the coffin, and he wasn't going down without a fight "Haaaaa Meeeee." Crimson fire exploded around the fighter as the ball of energy his hands grew a little bit bigger was still growing stronger.
"This is it Saiyan! Calamity Destroyer!"
"Haaaaa!"
The raging Ki sphere from Beerus was launched and a beam of blue was sent by Goku, the two destructive moves inches closer and closer to one another. Until finally.
*Boom*
A loud and crashing sound was heard, even in the vacuum of space as the two moves finally collided. Both attacks held each other in check. "Not bad Saiyan, not many can block this attack and still have power left."
"Sh-Shut up!" Screeched the God as he didn't expect it to be so powerful to hold back.
"You have my praise. But now it's over!" Said Beerus as he put more power into his push back, which worked. The Ki sphere crashed through Goku's beam and it looked like he won the battle, closers his eyes with contempt.
…
…
…
Then the destroyer was confused, where's the boom? He opened his eyes and looked to see Goku still pushing back the ball. Beerus was very much impressed. And Goku in a scream of glory pushed the sphere back into the middle.
The two fighters groaned, each fighting for the advantage. Beerus placed both hands in front of him, struggling to move his attack forward. Goku's resilience was something else, and this kind of resistance was something he needed. Finally a challenge. Goku on the other hand was hard pressed to push back the ball of flaming death.
Goku even with his new gained power was still struggling to get a foothold as however much Beerus poured into his attack, then he would have to match that output. To be honest, he can't do it much longer. That was the only sensation Goku could feel right now as he continued to pour every last speck of energy he had left into his Kamehameha wave.
Legs trembling, muscles burning, and bones aching like there was no tomorrow, the young hero of Earth gritted his teeth and fought back against the overwhelming urge to keel over and pass out. If he didn't, not only would it mean the end for him, but the end of everything and everyone he cared about.
"Not yet! I'm not finished yet!" the mortal turned God screamed, desperately fighting to keep his footing as energy continued to spew out of his palms like an unending torrent. He still had more to give. But if he had any hope of beating the man he was fighting against, he had to time his next move just right. Otherwise it would all be for nothing!
Then something passed the orange clad martial artist as he struggled to overcome the current stalemate. A purple Ki blast was sent zipping past him, it was so slow that it looked like it was walking. But then again so was Goku's reaction speed as he saw it pass him a few inches away from his face. And that's when he realized what that was, but was too late to do anything to stop it as it connected with his home planet.
Goku momentarily watched as the world he called home increased in radiant light as it shifted from blue and green, to purple and pink, and then finally orange and red as his world burst into flame and explode.
Goku had to watch as his home, his friends and family was blown in a fiery blaze of glory. Suddenly the images of his beloved wife, ChiChi, and his amazing sons, Gohan and Goten, including his other friends were all calling his name out. "Goku!" Until suddenly white black inkling lines took their silhouette and were washed away in an instant. Not only that but the lives of 7 other billion people were also incinerated in that explosion. All the noise, weather good or bad, ceased in an instant.
And Goku was alone.
Darksied observed all of this with great interest and had seen enough. Now is the time to get the Saiyan now that his world is gone, not that the Saiyans' approval mattered all that much to him, but the cat man certainly helped him in dominating him all the more easier. "DeSaad, ready the boom tube for transport now. And bring the Saiyan here."
"Yes, lord Darksied." And with the confirmation to bring over the otherworldly being into their plain of existence, Darksieds assistant readied the boom tube panel and began inputting the coordinates to bring him over. With the final statements inputted, DeSaad pulled down a lever and an orange and white wormhole of sorts appeared instantaneously in front of them.
And thus it appeared near Goku.
Another fury will be added to Darkseid's ranks and dominating the universe all the more easier.
There was nothing, nothing left at all.
Just another empty section of space.
It was all too much for Goku. His home, friends, and family were all gone in an instant. How? How could he allow that to happen? Where the hell did that Ki blast come from. He looks back and sees the anthropomorphic cat smiling back with immeasurable glee etched onto his face. He did it. Then Goku noticed the outstretched left arm pointing at the planet. "Like I said Saiyan, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you actually were at full power then you would have been able to stop that, but perhaps that was my hopes going too high. Hopefully now you will try harder to avenge them." Is he serious l? At full power, try harder? How dare he say that. Goku was at his breaking point and with all the power he has left, unleashed it all at once. His health be damned, he kill the son of bitch if it's the last thing he'll do. And he intends to keep it that way.
But then something behind him I interrupted his concentration as a mysterious orange and white portal opened up behind. The wormhole began to suck up the fatigued God as he tried to resist it, but wasn't able to fight against the Ki blast and the portal dragging him at the same time. It was like getting stuck between a hard and a hard place. And without further protest or realization, Goku was absorbed by it and sucked into it completely.
But that doesn't mean it didn't have any effects, while being sucked up a little of kamehameha wave was also sucked into and it caused the boom tube to become unstable and explode due to the large amount of power it came in contact with. And thus altered the destination to which the Saiyan will land.
Neither DeSaad or Darksied could have predicted and didn't calculate for the outcome to occur as it did. "DeSaad, what the hell happened!"
"I'm sorry my lord but a bit of his energy was also dragged through the boom tube and must have caused a chain reaction due to all the energy coming as it did and collapsing in itself. At least I believe."
"Well then get to finding where the Saiyan landed and retrieve him. I will not accept failure as an option."
"Yes, lord Darksied."
Holy-ummm… wow, just wow. This is easily my longest pilot chapter to date and I gotta say I'm not disappointed in the slightest. I know it may be a little long for you guys but after reading all these 1k to 2k chapters. I took upon myself to go big with this and hopefully make an example on how to start a story like this. I'm usually very descriptive in how I do these crossover and make to explain them in the context of how it happened, not by just adding "then a mysterious portal opened out of nowhere and dragged our hero" troupe that a lot of people like to do.
But I'm implementing what both established worlds have in place and using it to the best of my abilities to make it as realistic as possible for you guys. I Hopefully did it justice, no pun intended.
But I need your guys help with it, did I do good? Did I do bad? Tell me at parts where I succeed and others where I need to work at. Any and all criticism is fine do long as they help me be a better writer for you guys, I'm only one person after all and need multiple perspectives to make it better.
Please leave it all in the reviews and I'll answer them within the next chapter. Man I just have so much more to say about this but for now I think I'll leave it be with this and continue on with the next chapter. And with that, bye guys!
