Chapter 2 Dragon Universe
A large, empty plain stretched for miles and miles. The birds still chirped and the air was serene. Then, out of nowhere, a bright beam of light came crashing down and faster than light speeds, scaring away all the birds, and shooting up massive amounts of dust. When the dust settled, Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Whis appeared, inside a small crater. The two Saiyans looked around and admired the view. "Wow, this place looks incredible. Wouldn't ya say, Lord Beerus?" Goku remarked. Beerus and Whis said nothing as their focus was on something else. Goku immediately noticed and quickly tried to dash over. However, the back of his gi was yanked by Vegeta. "WHOA!" Goku yelped. When Vegeta let go, Goku turned around and frowned. "Why did you do that, Vegeta?"
"I'm just making sure that you don't forget the mission, Kakarot." Vegeta answered. Goku was not convinced.
"Since when does appreciating the land around you count as forgetting the mission, as you say?" Goku shouted. The two Saiyans were about to argue some more until a little love tap was felt on Goku's shoulder. "Okay, you two. How about we focus on more important matters?" When the two Saiyans looked back, Whis was standing right behind Goku, smugly smiling. Beerus was still standing where he was, staring into the distance. Goku then noticed something wrong. Something that very much confused the Saiyan. "Hey, Vegeta?"
"What is it Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, also feeling rather confused.
"I can't sense anyone's power. It's completely bone dry." Goku answered, feeling a slight chill in his spine.
"That shouldn't really be a surprise, Goku." Whis chimed in. The two Saiyans turned to face Whis with expecting eyes. Vegeta then walked up to Whis and crossed his arms. "What exactly do you mean, Whis?"
"What Whis is saying is that other multiverses don't follow the rules of our own." Beerus added, still keeping his gaze at the distance.
"Exactly. Like Lord Beerus said, the people of this multiverse don't use Ki." This news dropped like a bomb form space to Goku and Vegeta. Goku shook his head and Vegeta simply stood still, jaw dropped. "Hold on, Whis, you're telling me that these people don't use Ki? Then what do they use?" Goku questioned.
"I have a question of my own, why are we in a place where the natives don't use Ki?" Vegeta asked sternly. Whis simply put his hands up in the air and chuckled.
"Oh my, all these questions. You know, I may know alot of our multiverse, but that only falls under OUR multiverse." Whis replied shamelessly. Goku then pointed a shaky finger at Whis, losing all the words in his brain. "Th-th-then you can't help us out with this..."
"Gah..." Beerus groaned, "Out of all the mortals in Universe 7, Goku's the one I'm stuck with." Beerus muttered, palms on his forehead. Vegeta recovered from the shock and immediately asked, "So, now that that's out of the way, what do you want us to do, Lord Beerus?" Beerus finally broke off his gaze and turned to face Vegeta. He then glanced at Goku and Whis before laying out his plan.
"Alright. First things first, stay out of sight." Beerus stated. The two Saiyans nodded. "Secondly, find anything that would bring together strong and unique fighters from around this globe." Beerus instructed. Goku agreed to Beerus's instructions with complete obedience, while Vegeta agreed without changing his expression. With his instructions set, Beerus then clapped his hands and yawned heavily. "Alright, Whis. Let's get going. You two," Beerus pointed at Goku and Vegeta, making the two jolt. "You are going to find us some fighters from this universe, but you're going to do so quietly. You get me?"
"Yes sir, Lord Beerus!" The two yelled out. Goku and Vegeta then shot off into the sky leaving Beerus and Whis behind. Once the two were gone, Beerus gestured at Whis, to which Whis simply nodded. He then tapped his staff on the ground and the two divine beings were surrounded by a bright light and before long, a pillar of light arose and the two vanished into the air.
Back with Goku and Vegeta, the two found themselves flying over what looked to be a strange mansion. "Hey, Vegeta. That big house..." Goku shouted out, pointing at said mansion.
"You want to enter that mansion, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, staring down. Goku nodded with an almighty smile. Vegeta sighed before floating downwards, Goku followed suit. Before they could land, Goku decided to ask another question. "You know how Beerus told us to find something that brings strong people together, right?"
"What is it that you're implying, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked, still keeping his view on the mansion.
"Well, Beerus and Whis wouldn't come here if these people can't fight, right?" Goku asked. Vegeta stopped his trajectory and turned around to face the Saiyan nearby him.
"Well, that is a good point, but that's for Lord Beerus, what's YOUR point, Kakarot?" Vegeta questioned. Then out of nowhere, Goku smiled, rather proudly you could say.
"Well, if these people can fight, then they can compete. And what better way is there to compete in battle skill other than in a tournament!" Goku added cheerfully and proudly, like he had found the cure for a massive sickness. The two Saiyans then looked down at the mansion and Vegeta understood what his rival was thinking.
"Well, what are you standing there for, Kakarot?" Vegeta said smugly. Goku giggled very excitedly and hopped in the air very giddily.
"You bet it, Vegeta!" The two Saiyans then quickly flew down, racing each other to the massive door. But neither of them were moving at their top speeds or anything even close to it. Therefore, an explosion appeared in one of the walls of the mansion, surprising the two Saiyans, causing them to fall into their battle stance. What was that? Vegeta thought, What just happened? Vegeta was caught in his thoughts to the point that he nearly missed Goku rushing head first into the smoke. However, Vegeta pulled Goku back by the neckpiece of Goku's gi like before. "Wait, not now, Kakarot!" Vegeta barked out before landing himself and placing Goku down face forward.
"Damnit, Vegeta! What was that crap for!?" Goku cried out in frustration. Vegeta quickly covered Goku's mouth and hissed. Vegeta then waited before releasing Goku's mouth and moved towards a hole that was made by the explosion. But before he went in, he turned his head at Goku and motioned for him to follow him, then he floated gently into the mansion. Goku stood there, with his arms crossed and eyes shut. What's gotten into Vegeta? Goku pondered in his head, We should be doing something about that explosion right now. Goku then took in a very deep breath before finally opening his eyes. Well, I guess I should follow Vegeta. Goku thought before floating into the hole.
Goku landed on a wooden support beam next to Vegeta, with Vegeta kneeling, being absolutely still. Goku also kneeled down and scanned the area below him. There were many strange people with strange outfits all crowded closely together. Then a sudden, large explosion blew out the door, as massive flames surrounded the area. What emerged from the smoke was a lean, muscular man with pink, spiky hair, wearing a white scarf, a one-sleeved overcoat, and short, white baggy pants. He was still knocking out some random people before stopping in his tracks. Then Goku and Vegeta picked up something with their special Saiyan ears.
"Where is your master..." The pink-haired man growled out. He then kicks a random stranger in the gut, sending him flying in the air as the man screams, "TELL MEEEEE!" Goku and Vegeta were rather impressed at the show that they were seeing. If this strange pink man could be on their side on their fight with Demigra, he could prove to be very useful. The others in the crowd simply gaze on at this strong and raging pink man. When the kicked man falls to the ground, the pink man then shouts, "Bring him out now!" The ground then shakes, as a massive foot comes and stomps the ground as a giant, bearded, lumbering brute of a man came forward. The giant was wearing a black crown and monk like clothing. The others moved so the giant could pass through. "If you have something to say to me, you should say it." The giant said, trying very hard to intimidate the pink man. However, the opposite happened. As the pink man stepped forward and asked, "You the master of this sorry bunch?" The crowd nor the giant said anything. So the pink man continued, "So it's one loss and you're out on the street, huh?" Everyone, even Goku and Vegeta were watching, dumbstruck. "HAH! Those are some hardcore rules, pal!" No one knew what to say, all their tongues were tangled by a massive cat in the sky. But the pink man was far from done. "Let's see if you play by them!" He shouted as he clasps his right fist. "If you lose to me, you gotta quit the guild too!" The man's fist then started to catch fire. Goku and Vegeta continued to look on from their vantage point.
"Hey, Vegeta," Goku whispered. Vegeta turned his head, frowning at Goku. "He looks strong, do you think we should get him to help us?" Goku asked. Vegeta said nothing, for he returned his gaze at the situation. Then they heard the big man reply to the pink man. "Did you truly come here to challenge me?" He said with obvious disinterest, "Very foolish."
" I came here to teach you not to turn your back on people you're suppose to care for. So you better listen!" The pink man growled back. Goku and Vegeta were now thinking that the pink man might be a good man, but their thoughts were interpreted by the big man opening his big, bearded mouth.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds to me like you think everyone should behave by your personal moral code." The big man said, again with the same disinterest.
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" The pink man yelled, furiously.
"Hey, Dobengal," The big man said, "Deal with this intruder." Almost immediately, a blond haired man wearing ninja-like clothing appeared out of thin air. "Yes sir." Dobengal replied. The pink man wasn't fazed, in fact, he appeared more angered than anything else.
"What, are you scared?" He asked, mockingly. The big man simply stood by and replied, "I don't feel like wasting my time on an insect like you. I am the master of this guild so if you wish to challenge me, you must prove yourself to be a worthy adversary." Then, the pink man immediately started sprinting towards the big man while yelling out, "DON'T HIDE BEHIND YOUR FLUNKIES, FIGHT ME!"
"I won't let you near our master!" Dobengal declared before firing out a rainbow-like beam from his hand, the pink man easily dodges the attack and dodges an incoming kick from Dobengal. The pink man returns with a swipe but Dobengal also dodges it by moving his entire body behind the pink man. Dobengal preforms several back flips before stopping and crouching down, waiting to counter a possible attack from the pink man. The two, hidden Saiyans watch on from their wood plank as the fight continues. "Although I may not be participating in the Grand Magic Games this year," Dobengal said before vanishing completely. He then appeared behind the pink man, "I am just as skilled as those who represent our guild." Dobengal said before vanishing again. This time, he reappeared in the air, directly above the pink man. "Now you will taste the true power of Sabertooth!" He boasted before throwing multiple, colored balls around the pink man. When the balls landed, colored smoke burst out, blocking the pink man's vision. This did little to actually slow down the pink man but he did grow more frustrated.
"So you're hiding too now?" the pink man shouted out through the smoke. Dobengal then threw several light blades at him, which the pink man avoided by jumping backwards. But before the pink man could grasp his situation, Dobengal appeared from behind him and charged with an energy blade.
"I suggest you leave at once or face the consequences!" Dobengal yelled out. "NOW!" Dobengal then thrusts his blade. And he misses.
"OUT A MY WAY!" The pink man shouted before his fist burst into flames and backhanding the poor ninja to the massive doors behind them. "I ain't got business with you, pal." The pink man said one last time. Dobengal falls from the doors, flat on his face. Completely knocked out. Everyone, even the two Saiyans, look on in shock and awe.
"Holy crap, he beat Dobengal?" one random member shouts out. Goku and Vegeta continue to look on. Eventually, a slender, muscular man with spiky blond hair walks up to the master and declares, "Master, I'll take him." But the master has other plans.
"You'll stay out of this." The master ordered. The pink man was then seen charging towards the master with his flaming fist. "No one in my guild has your kind of spirit, boy." The master said, "It's interesting..." The pink man reaches the master and goes for a hard punch to the face. The master blocks the flaming hands with his forearms before proclaiming, "But spirit is not enough!" before sending some sort of shockwave sending the pink man back. This didn't deter him too long as he came right back at the master with a hard jab to the chest, just barely avoiding the massive forearms. The pink man then attacks with a right hook, before finishing off with a fiery uppercut, sending flames everywhere. But the master was far from finished, and neither was the pink man, as the pink man pounded the master with a quick but powerful flurry of punches, all flaming. This was starting to cause some damage to the master, and the pink man knew it. He decided that he was going to end the fight, here and now. He then clentched his fight fist, fire and lightning bursting from it, before screaming out, "LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON," the master was not prepared for this and couldn't react to what would happen next. The pink man cocked his fist back before finally yelling out the full name of his attack, "FIRING HAMMER!" When the attack landed, a massive hole was punched out the side of the mansion. Goku used his Instant Transmission to get him and Vegeta out of the way, instantly. The bystanders looked in awe and some fear at the power being shown. Sparks and smoke was everywhere, and the pink man was still very angry, he wouldn't be happy until he saw the master down on his knees. And when the dust, smoke and sparks settled, the pink man was shown something, only it was very different from what he was expecting. In fact, the dust, smoke, and sparks didn't just settle, they were cleared away. And standing in from of the pink man was a tall woman.
