"guhhhhhhhh!" Vegeta crossed his arms sliding back a bit as the two beings powers continued to grow shock waves and electricity flying all around them as more trees and mountains around them began to crumble.
"This is insanity!" he said clenching his fist looking on at Beerus and the dark haired boy. He was just a child!
He gritted his teeth looking down at the ground as it began to crack more and more under their feet.
"hey! we need to go above!" he called out to the others. He grabbed a hold of Bulma and Bulla and flew up the others doing the same.
Ayosha just watched in shock as the power flowing from Beerus and Shadou as she flew up into the air. She couldn't believe that he was this strong... she had just seen him as her friend and even thought he was human!
Gohan shook his head flying up next to Vegeta. He glanced over toward him.
"who is he?" he asked in shock.
He just glanced at Gohan and moved his eyes back toward the two. It was like nothing he had ever seen.
Whis just smiled titling his head to the side.
"Interesting" he said even himself not experiencing a power exactly like this beings. He fund it even more amazing that none of them including himself could detect any power from the boy before this. Which either meant he was from a completely different universe that they couldn't read power from or that he had been skilled enough to hide it like that which he doubted."
Beerus grinned.
"let's get this started then shall we?" he asked flashing forward toward the boy. His eyes narrowed as the moment he got to where the boy was standing he was gone. Beerus eyes flashed and his hand flew up behind the back of his head just catching the boys punch sliding back from the impact.
The ground split nearly into two below them.
Beerus slung his hand back attacking him at furious speeds.
Shadou just kept his crimson eyes locked on him dodging and blocking all of the attacks throwing a few of his own at him as well.
Vegetas draw dropped as Beerus attacked and the boy showed his speed flashing behind him and throwing a punch before Beerus even stopped but Beerus showed his as well still blocking it without looking. His jaw dropped as the ground split from the simple impact from the punch. He watched in shock as the two went at it. Even he could barely even keep up with their attacks enough to see what was happening.
"in...incredible..."
Gotenks just watched with wide eyes and gritted his teeth clenching his fists.
"get him Shadou you got this man!"
Ayosha blinked eyes wide watching how fast they where going she couldn't even keep up. She snapped back into it hearing Gotenks and then nodded her expression getting determined.
"yeah come on Shadou!"
Beerus and Shadou kept there eyes locked on each others as they flashed through the air their high speed attacks blocking and colliding with each other each sending shock waves through the air.
Shadow narrowed his eyes ducking under an attack and spun around kicking Beerus square in the jaw sending him back a few feet.
Whis raised an eyebrow.
"well well then"
Beerus smiled catching himself immediately bringing his hands up creating two small flame sized spheres spinning rapidly in circles. He launched them toward the boy.
Shadou watched as the spheres flew towards him rapidly and quickly threw his arms out toward them as they devoured him exploding around him.
The others all covered up as the blasts remains flew around exploding into the ground erupting.
Vegeta gritted his teeth throwing his hand out sending a few blasts at in coming pieces of rock flying towards them.
"at this pace they will destroy the earth no matter what..."
Beerus watched closely.
Shadou slashed though the air with his arm clearing the area around him staring Beerus down.
Beerus smiled widely.
"hahahahaah! yes grand!"
Shadou raised his hand up above his hand a large dark violet sphere forming above it crackling with electricity and energy.
Vegetas eyes widened watching this wasn't good.
"that will..."
"no look..."
Ayosha said watching as Shadou flashed up further into the sky at insane speeds.
"he's moving away..."
Beerus smiled flashing forward following him up high in the Galaxy as they both flew.
After a few moments Shadou stopped as they entered an area he thought was far enough away from the earth.
Beerus came to a stop and watched as the boy with no hesitation launched the sphere toward him. He smiled thinking of Goku in this situation. That was a vast difference between him and this being. Goku would have waited to properly give him the chance following him to be ready this being was all business. Beerus hands flew up blocking the blast.
He gritted his teeth surprised by the strength and power from it as he flew back through the air. He created a small sphere of his own blasting the large violet sphere away crashing into a distant planet.
Shadou just glanced over as Beerus sent the sphere away towards another planet and it exploded.
"You destroy planets like that without a second thought?" he asked more an actual question than a accusation.
Ayosha clenched her hands togeather tightly wondering what was going on. They could even hear faint sounds from the battle now from them far above above but they didn't know what was going on.
Goku gritted his teeth trying his best to get to Earth as fast as he could once he noticed Beerus power. He had showed up there early apparently. He slid to a stop glancing around as he arrived seeing the destruction and pretty much wasteland where the others where in the air. He looked at them.
"where is Beerus!?" he asked confused.
Vegeta blinked looking over toward Goku.
"Kakarot..."
Ayosha blinked looking over toward the man that she hadn't seen before then looked over toward Vegeta as he said a name and she knew who he was then. So this was the Goku every spoke about.
"he's somewhere up in space fighting Shadou Ayoshas friend..." Gohan said still not knowing what to think about the turn of events.
Goku frowned tilting his head to the side looking at his son.
"huh...fighting Beerus? is he did yet then?" he asked.
Ayosha narrowed her eyes stomping her feet in the air a bit of power surging around her.
"no he isn't dead! he's going to win!" she exclaimed looking toward the man.
Goku blinked looking over toward the younger looking girl and smiled remembering.
"oh Ayosha high i've heard about you nice to meet ya!" he laughed waving with a smile.
She just blinked staring at him confused. How could he be so calm and acting like this at a time like this? he almost seemed happy.
Goku sighed and placed a hand on his hips.
"so Shadou you say? who is that and how exactly is he fighting Beerus."
Ayosha just looked at him.
"he's our friend mine Goten and Trunks we have been hanging out lately and Beerus showed up early so we tried to hold him off until you got here but we were getting destroyed. Shadou showed up to see us and Beerus attacked him..." she said thinking about it "I thought that he was going to die si I tried to stop him but Beerus just beat me and was going to kill me but Shadou stopped him like it was nothing after he had destroyed us all so easily...then they started fighting. Just there power did this around here and then Shadou flew up so that they wouldn't destroy the earth...we thought he was just a normal human..."
Goku listened and raised an eyebrow thinking about it.
"wow he stopped an attack from Beerus like that on the spot huh? man he must be stronger than me then for sure just by that." he said and then smiled "i've got to go see this for myself catch you guys later." he said flashing off.
"dad!" Gohan called out sighing covering his face with his hand.
"that Kakarot..." Vegeta gritted his teeth.
Ayosha just blinked watching as the man flashed away.
Beerus smiled looking at him.
"yes why not?"
Shadou just kept his eyes locked on him.
"there are people that live on those planets most likely would you like it if the roles where reversed."
Whis smiled.
"it can't be helped it is what he does and how it is. It is what comes with being a god of destruction."
Beerus smiled.
Shadou just looked at them.
"God of Destruction" he smirked lightly looking at him.
Beerus raised an eyebrow.
"hmmm? something funny?'
Shadou nodded.
"the fact that you call yourself a god is pretty funny to me I must say."
Beerus just smirked.
"I see."
He flashed forward increasing his speed even more if you would have thought it possible attacking the boy.
Shadous limbs flashed around blocking and dodging rapidly.
Beerus swayed to the side mid attack quickly creating two large flaming spheres and then flew back combining the to spheres into one and other creating a enormous flaming sphere looking like the sun above his hand. He smiled sending the attack toward Shadou.
Goku flashed beside of Whis glancing around.
"did I miss it?"
Whis smiled and shook his head glancing toward Goku.
"no things are just now getting good."
Goku smiled looking and then his jaw dropped seeing Beerus launching the same attack toward the guy that he had barely been able to block in his super saiyan god form with the others and it took everything he had
Shadou narrowed his eyes watching as the huge sphere came toward him. He crossed his arms throwing them down a complete eruption of dark energy and power slicing through the air around them.
"guhhhh!' Goku braced himself going super saiyan three getting knocked back a bit gritting his teeth from the power. Whis raised a hand bracing himself abit smiling.
Instead of staying where he was or moving back Shadou flashed forward straight toward the sphere a large range of violet energy sprouting from his back looking almost like it was in the form of large wings. He slung his arm forward a violet and black electricity radiating from it as it collided with the blast. On impact a miserable screeching sound filled the air as an explosion erupted around them a few nearby planets going up in flames.
Goku gritted his teeth slamming his arms down power flowing around him. He sent a wave in front of him to block the amount of power and the explosion from the blast coming toward him.
Beerus narrowed his eyes watching crossing his hands behind his back.
Shadou flashed through the sphere the violet and black electricity still crackling around his arms as he flashed toward Beerus.
Beerus gritted his teeth bringing his hands up creating two more huge spheres and combining them then bringing his free hand not holding the sun like sphere above his head and created a rash of red and blue flames and energy slamming it into the sphere. The flames swirled around the sphere rapidly almost like a tornado.
Whis raised an eyebrow.
"hmmmm I have never seen him actually have to use this attack."
Goku watched in shock at the attack whiz was holding above his head now. at least double the strength of the sphere that he had managed to block in his saiyan god form.
Shadou didn't stop watching the blast and brought his other hand forward the violet wings behind him flapping together hard thrusting him forward. A much smaller stream of two blasts formed around Shadous hands compared to the blast Beerus was holding and he lunged forward toward him eyes narrowed as he stared into the flames.
Beerus scuffed slamming the sphere forward colliding with Shadous two smaller streams his eyes widening for a moment then narrowing as it was like hitting a brick wall as the blasts collided and an eruptions devoured the entire area around them.
Gokus eyes widened quickly bringing his hand up and getting out of the area. He took a deep breath landing on the ground on earth.
Vegeta gritted his teeth as he arrived looking at him in shock.
"what the hell is going on! Kakarot! they are deep in space and we can feel the vibrations from them all the way down here! this is impossible..."
Goku shook his head staring up at the sky.
"I don't know I can't even believe it myself it's on a whole other level. This Shadou blocked the attack from Beerus that I used everything I had in my super saiyan good form to barely block and went right through it into an attack and even with all of this I still can't read his power at all and gauge it."
Gohan nodded.
"we thought he was just a normal human we couldn't read a single thing from him..."
Aysoha listened to them and glanced up in shock. He was that much stronger than Goku...? She gritted her teeth.
"you can do it Shadou..." she muttered clenching her fists.
Beerus gritted his teeth pushing forward with his sphere.
Shadou kept his eyes narrowed pressing forward with his attacks staring Beerus in the eyes flames crashing and flowing around him.
Whis watched on having to have moved back a bit holding an arm up bracing himself.
"It's over" Whis said confidently as he watched on.
Shadous eyes flashed with their crimson red and he like lightning flipped backward half way through kicking and sending the huge flaming sphere flying into a large planet completely devouring it in a second. He launched forward slamming his arms and attacks toward Beerus.
Beerus gritted his teeth watching as amazingly his attack was sent flying. He brought his hands up to block the attack as it slammed into them. Flying backward as he tried to block gritting his teeth.
Shadou pressed forward as they flew through the air and then his attack went straight through Beerus hands and slammed straight through his chest a huge shockwave sounding through the air.
Beerus eyes widened as he stared down at the boys hands through his chest the immense power inside of him. He moved his eyes up and just grinned looking at the boy.
"impressive."
Shadou just kept his eyes locked on him and then a large violet blast devoured him.
Whis nodded.
The others tensed up looking up as Whis flew down landing on the ground.
Vegeta gritted his teeth looking at Whis thinking that Beerus had killed the boy. They would go for earth now for sure.
"Kakarot what do we do?"
Whis just smiled and looked at the others as they tensed up.
Ayosha gritted her teeth angrily clenching her hands sparks flying around her thinking that her friend was dead.
"calm down your planet is safe now." he said looking at them
They all just froze.
A moment later Shadou flew down landing on the ground with nothing more then his shirt ripped off and a few scuffs and scratches. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them going back from their glowing crimson color to his normal golden ones.
They looked at him in shock not understanding.
Whis glanced toward him.
"this being has defeated the god of destruction and killed him." he said simply.
All of their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
"it was quite the spectacle even I must say." he smiled "I would love to take you on as the next God of..."
"no" he was cut off before he even finished the cold gold eyes staring at him threateningly.
Whis just chuckled.
"I see that's to bad then" he sighed "well I guess I am off then good to see you all." he said before flying off through the air.
The others just watched on still in shock.
Aysoha looked over toward Shadou who looked completely like him normal self again. Quiet and calm and definitely not someone who just destroyed a god of destruction. She looked at him walking over and looking him up and down.
"are you ok?" she asked
He looked down at her and smiled lightly with a small nod.
"are you?" he asked remembering her getting attacked trying to help him earlier.
She looked down at herself pretty beat up and laughed rubbing the back of her head.
"oh me? yeah i'm fine" she laughed "thanks to you I guess if you hadn't have helped we would have all been in trouble."
"hey, yeah thanks for saving the earth" Goku laughed waving extending his hand to him.
Shadou just looked up at the man tilting his head a bit. He reached out his hand shaking it.
Goku just looked down at his hand as he shook it surprised once again. The boy felt just like a normal human boy would feel no trace of power coming from him. He looked at him.
"not to be rude but could I ask why you have like no power level I mean your the strongest person i've ever seen in my life and we all thought you were a normal human." he laughed rubbing his head.
Shadou listened and just looked at him thinking about it. A slight smile crossed his face and he looked down at Ayosha.
"you thought that I was a normal human?" he asked.
She laughed a bit embarrassed.
"uhhh yeahhh..." rubbed the back of her head.
He glanced back up toward Goku and just looked at him.
"i'm not sure I don't know enough about your race or the warriors of Earth to be able to answer that. Where I am from we have a more controlled and concentrated power. None of us can actually read power even from each other so maybe because of that we don't give off a power level like you just said. I personally couldn't read any of your power levels either and still can't." he said truthfully.
Vegeta couldn't help but to step in. placing his hands on his hips.
"listen aside from all of that who are you? I mean Beerus is known widely as the God of destruction and possibly the strongest warrior in all the universes other than Whis and you a child about the same age as Goten,Trunks and Ayosha just took him out with barely a scratch on you and I have never heard of you."
Shadou just looked at Vegeta.
"I come from a very solitary universe and planet." he said simply looking at the ground thinking about it.
Ayosha looked at him frowning seeing the expression on his face.
"we don't really go anywhere and know one really get's in and any of us that have power are tasked with doing something that takes up most or all of our time. I do say that I doubt though that that being was of the strongest in all the universes" he answered
Vegeta nodded accepting the answer.
"hey guys! come on now!" Bulma said stepping up beside Shadou.
"Stop with the third degree questioning Shadou just stopped Beerus and saved the earth and he's our friend let's just celebrate!"
Shadou blinked mouth opening a bit not used to someone talking about him like that looking at Bulma.
Ayosha smiled and nodded stepping up beside him looking at the others.
"yeah!"
Goku laughed.
"sounds good to me."
The others all cheered and Vegeta just shrugged crossing his arms.
"Dude that was so awesome!" Trunks exclaimed laughing as they all walked toward the place they where setting things up for the party.
Goten nodded laughing.
"yeah!"
Ayosha just smiled listening.
Shadou tilted his head looking at the two boys really surprised by how they all where reacting to this.
"really?" he asked and then glanced down sensing Ayoshas movement and smiled.
"yeah for sure!" they laughed "can you help train with us some"
Aysoha chuckled smirking teasingly.
"i'm not sure if that would be a good idea Shadou would probably kill you guys by accident." she laughed.
Trunks and Goten stuck their tongues out at her.
He thought about it tilting his head to the side.
"I could tr..." he stopped himself remembering his expression changing looking ahead. "no I don't think so" he answered.
Ayosha looked at him as he was about to answer then noticed his change in expression blinking as he answered Trunks and Goten groaning not notiicng anything was up. She frowned looking at him wondering what was wrong.
