Chapter 5: Battle of the Gods. (Of this universe anyway...)
Both gods flew at each other at incredible speeds, their arms outstretched for a punch and a punch is what they both got. A massive crunch sound was heard throughout all the planets in planet New Namek's solar system. The gods flew back a bit, recoiling from each other's punches to the face that not only squashed each other's noses but also loosened each other's skulls.
"I can destroy millions of planets in the blink of an eye you know."
"The power to destroy a planet is inconsequential to the power of the force."
"Did... did you just make a Star Wars reference?"
"Yes."
"What power... Though you will still lose this battle, I respect your judgement."
"Why, thank you." Gohan said excitedly before being kicked in the face, smashing through loads of villages before going face to face with Polaris himself.
"Intruder! You will be taken for questioning under Lord Frieza himself." Polaris managed to bark out before Beerus came in and used an uppercut to send Gohan up into the sky.
"Well... wait is that Lord Beerus? I am not getting involved with that in any way at all."
Gohan sent a punch downwards but Beerus phased out of the way leading to a kick towards Gohan's back to come across, but Gohan phased out the way of that as well before both parties stopped and stared at each other as they slowly descended upon the ground. When they had both got to the ground, Gohan and Beerus shouted out
"RASENGAN!"
The gods charged at each other with ki blasts within their hands. The ki blasts that were fired exploded on contact and sent the gods backwards, cutting through more of the blue grass and dirt hills. The gods then flew at each and started phasing in and out of many different parts of the sky leaving mini explosions where ever they went.
"Amazing isn't it?"
"Who? Oh it's just you. Yes it is."
"Come on; are you still sore after that thing with the sodas?"
"Please don't ever mention that again."
"Oh alright then." Whis sighed as he looked back to the fight.
"You got any popcorn per chance?" Kaioshin asked sheepishly.
"Don't know what that is."
"You don't have any then?"
"That's right."
"Oh well. Wow their so fast I can't even make out their ki signatures, let alone who is winning."
"I can."
"Then who is winning?"
"Neither is, there evenly matched."
"Incredible!"
"Fantastic."
"Stupendous"
"Stupendous?" asked Whis, who was surprised at how much Kaioshin's vocabulary had improved.
Beerus knocked Gohan back to the pleasant blue grass. Gohan put his hands on the ground so he could propel his feet forward sending a mighty kick to Beerus's head, stunning the god of destruction for a bit. Gohan picked up a bit of dirt before righting himself and swinging a two-handed axe handle to Beerus and then shoving the dirt into Beerus's face blinding the ancient deity. Beerus frantically rubbed his eyes while Gohan sent punch after punch to Beerus's abdomen. Gohan then proceeded to send a kick to Beerus's left side, sending the deity into a mountain.
Gohan felt a little a weird for a moment before dismissing it and charging straight at Beerus with a punch. But Beerus blocked within his own fist. Gohan then sent a kick straight between Beerus's legs, which would have given him the advantage back, but Beerus told Gohan that.
"That is not where they are, you know."
As Gohan stared bewildered, Beerus punched Gohan straight in the gut, which forced Gohan to let out some blood out of both his nostrils and mouth. Beerus then landed a straight uppercut before phasing behind the new god and whacking him back down to the floor.
"The tables have turned now haven't they?"
"You can't destroy me."
"Oh is that so?"
"You can't destroy what I really am. Even if you manage to kill this body someone even stronger will surface and take my place!"
"As if!"
The two gods continued their exchange of punches and kicks as more and more of New Namek was morphed into a battle zone. The whole of New Namek had been cordoned off from the local populace of the Empire as news reporters searched and searched for a way to get in. The star ships in orbit had all set their guns to fire upon the gods when either one of them won the match and the Namekians had taken this time of confusion to start looting and plundering the local supply chains.
The New Rebellion had taken this opportunity to station hundreds of ships within their fleet to be right outside the solar system New Namek had grown accustomed to. They were just waiting to strike out against Frieza's imperial blockade. But with the circumstances as they are neither faction wanted to make a move against the god of destruction or the one going toe to toe with the ancient deity.
"General, when do we strike?"
"We strike now, since there so concerned over those two fighters on Namek us attacking will bring them to a standstill and there ships won't be able to respond quick enough."
"All right General Kuriza. All ships Attack!"
With the sound of alarms and plasma shots, the New Rebellion attacked the Imperial blockade, who were not only surprised, but overwhelmed. Thousands upon thousands of ships fired upon each other as civilian ships frantically shot their way out. The Empire of Cold's blockade were completely destroyed as more and more star ships found out that the New Rebellion was not only effective but also brutal.
Lord Beerus whacked in a right hook then left hook before using his elbow to smack straight into Gohan's belly and push him back into more of the villages that were scattered all over New Namek. Beerus started firing a barrage of Ki blasts at the new god while Gohan started to run towards Beerus with his arms in a defensive block in front of himself. Gohan started to phase in and out of view as he narrowly managed to dodge the Ki blasts that were hurled at him in stupendous speeds. Beerus was getting angrier and angrier at the survivability of Gohan and he was at his maximum, yet this super saiyan god was able to keep up with him! The idea of a mortal having the power to challenge a god was one not heard of since the shadow dragons had appeared and wrecked Earth. While Beerus and Gohan kept throwing punches and kicks at each other, the New Rebellion had started their ground assault upon New Namek, bringing down monuments, factories, city leaders and slave owners. General Kuriza and Commander Turles had both entered the planet and started a battle with Polaris, so that the New Rebellion had time to corner him. Kuriza reminded himself that after this fight he would have to thank the mortal that had gone and made so much trouble upon this planet and to the god of destruction.
Unfortunately for the supreme kai and Whis there little hiding spot had been found by the rebels and they now had to deal with the antics of Whis. Kaioshin had answered all the questions the rebels could muster up, so he looked back to the fight which was still vigorously going on.
"Even now he still continues to go on and amaze me. Wait a minute why is his hair not..." But before Kaioshin could continue with his thoughts he was dragged from his spot by Whis, who wanted to know what ice cream was.
Beerus punched Gohan downwards while almost instantaneously charged his massive sphere of destruction and threw it straight at New Namek. This took Gohan completely off guard. Luckily, due to Gohan's quick thinking, he was able to charge a massive kamehameha wave and fire it straight at the sphere of destruction heading towards the home planet of all Namekians. With that a struggle started up but it was painstakingly obvious that Gohan was on the losing team.
"Don't give up Gohan I know you can do it!"
"Never give in, never give up. Keep pushing yourself to new heights of power."
"Just getting this far is amazing on its own!"
"What... how are they? Trunks, Piccolo, Dad? I will never let you DOWN!" Gohan shouted as he poured massive amounts of his hidden power into his attack. The wave cut straight through the sphere as Beerus stood there shocked out of his mind. The beam hit the god of destruction head on sending him out into orbit.
Whis caught, the now knocked out god of destruction and flew him back towards Gohan as the hero of the future just started panting out in extreme exhaustion.
"You're amazing you know? Beating Beerus at his full power like that with a broken nose."
"So now what Whis? Are you going to fight me?" Questioned Gohan as he got back into his fighting stance.
"No, a proposition for you."
"So what is the proposition then?"
"If Lord Beerus here, kicks the bucket would you like to be the new god of destruction?"
"No thanks. I don't think I could handle the guilt."
"Oh well, worth a shot. Hey Gohan is it? Why didn't you transform into one of your super saiyan forms?"
"Wait I can transform while being in that form?"
"Wait... Oh I get it you didn't notice that you lost your god form less than halfway through the fight."
"But if that happened, then how was I able to keep up in my base form?"
"Your body must have gained a lot from the god form because you did not lose any strength at all."
"Wow if I am this powerful in my base form then I wonder..."
"You know what. Since I am feeling generous, after you've dealt with the aftermath of this meet me on the supreme kai's planet and I can train you so that you will be the most powerful person in the universe."
"Thank you Whis."
Gohan slowly flew down towards planet New Namek with everyone staring at him waiting and wondering, until supreme kai asked the question that needed to be answered.
"Did... Did you win?"
Gohan flashed the all too familiar son grin and put his thumbs up to everyone. The crowd of rebels and Namekians all started to realize what this gesture meant and started cheering. Cheering for Gohan! General Kuriza (after knocking out Polaris with a kill driver attack) went over to congratulate the saiyan known as Gohan.
"You've done the universe a great pleasure... Gohan."
"Thank you mister... ummm? General...?"
"It's Kuriza."
"Thank you Kuriza." Gohan excitedly said as they both shook hands. Both not realizing that their fathers had been sworn enemies.
"How about we sit down and talk about everything that's happened to the galaxy."
"That sounds like a great idea."
And so their conversation commenced.
