Enjoy the Chapter!
LOCATION:SATAN CITY, EARTH, UNIVERSE 7, MULTIVERSE 2.
Saitama could not understand what was going on. He was sitting in a café waiting for his tea, and Genos was outside, speaking to the golden-haired guy, "Wait here sensei; I have to compare notes with these people." Genos had told him and left in a hurry before Saitama could ask him how he had come here. Saitama was upset to say the least, Genos had brought him some bad news from home, but he couldn't complain, for, Sitting opposite to Saitama, was a seriously depressed Bald Cat, and Saitama knew what he was going through. 'He needs some good counselling' Saitama thought to himself, he couldn't dare to say it out loud, especially in front of the Cat.
If a stranger looked at Beerus or even glanced in his direction, he could conjecture with no hesitation, that he saw a broken figure of a Cat. Beerus was dead within, His strength had left him and his knees could not hold his figure. Champa, his brother, had died and he felt the pain, He could hear his name being uttered by Champa, his last words. Was he angry? Beerus was beyond Anger or Rage, There was no word invented for defining what he was feeling. But, what made him feel worse was that he knew who had killed his brother, and he knew nothing could be done about it. But Beerus remained silent, he had no right to gloat about his loss, for, there was someone who had lost more than a brother, there was someone had lost their whole family, that someone no more had a place to call home, that someone was sitting right across the table, That someone was a Bald guy with a Cape, the Caped Baldy.
Beerus looked at Saitama while thinking of a way to console him, but he saw something that he could never have expected. Sipping his tea, Saitama wore an expression that was neither sad, nor angry, his face was completely NEUTRAL. 'Does this man have no feelings?! How can a person be so calm during such perilous times?!' Beerus couldn't accept Saitama's indifferent attitude in this situation. Saitama noticed his stare. "Is there something wrong?" He asked Beerus in a polite way. "Something WRONG?!" Beerus stood in his spot "What do you mean Something Wrong? Everything is WRONG!" He punched the table, cracking it at a molecular level; the tea fell from Saitama's hand. "HEY! Why did you do that? You spilled my tea!". "You are worried about your TEA?! My brother is Dead and you are worried about your TEA! Are you even worried about your home? Do you even feel for the Death of your Family or your Friends?! The Cosmos is in trouble and you are sitting here Drinking Tea! How can you be so insensitive? You Bald piece of Tra- " Saitama cut his speech short with a Punch. Beerus crashed through the walls of the café and many other buildings before finally crashing into the gates of the World Martial Arts Arena.
"You STUPID CAT!" Saitama rushed in with another punch breaking the walls of the arena. "You think you are the only one who is upset?!" Beerus was barely able to withstand this sudden attack; he could only hold his guard to block the incoming assault. The Baldy was proving too fast to keep up with! Another punch and Beerus could see the Earth from above, He was sent into Orbit! "Do I look CALM to you NOW?!" he could hear Saitama's voice right next to him, 'Behind!' He realized too late, he turned only to be hit by another Fiery Punch. Beerus' Guard broke, He had underestimated the Baldy. 'This Guy! You've got to be kidding me!' Beerus thought as he fell towards the Centre of the Arena, a bit too fast for the Earth to handle the Impact. He was only inches above the ground before he could force to a stop, the whole arena cracked and shattered due to the pressure Beerus had put on the air beneath him. "Oi Baldy! Do you want to destroy this planet as well?! You Monster!" Beerus roared as he turned towards Saitama who was already there, waiting for Beerus to fall. Saitama's face was masked in a shadow; Was he upset? Was he sad? Was he enraged? Beerus had no idea. Saitama walked towards Beerus, his fists clenched, his cape dryly fluttering, his stride cracked the ground, leaving angry footprints. Beerus sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Saitama, and he realized that he was paralyzed! He couldn't move, he couldn't attack, and he couldn't defend. He looked at Saitama's eyes, and he realized that he had awakened a beast. Blazing with fire were Saitama's eyes, All the emotions that were forever trapped in his body had torn apart in rebellion, this was not Saitama, This was a completely different person, this was a monstrosity to say the least. Beerus had gone too far, he had said unnecessary things and he had to pay the price. A simple sorry would not cut it. 'All this time, was he holding all those emotions back?! Who is this Man?' That would probably be the last thought he would ever have.
'Hohoho! What's happening here?' Unbeknownst to Saitama or Beerus, A spectator was watching them from the stands. 'Beerus pushed it too far eh?' He smiled 'I better do something; It'd be a pain if somebody died here.'
Saitama pulled his fist back "You wanted a Monster?! You've got one NOW!" The punch itself was too fast and powerful to be seen, Beerus' eyes widened, was this how it ends? Was there no way out of oblivion? Was he going to die? Beerus snapped out of his startle, He was not going to give in, He was a God, and he was not going down so easily. Beerus, in that moment, mustered all his power into his fists. The Fists collided, and the ground caved in, the shockwave cut through the clouds with such power that the Earth's tilt was disturbed; the Whole of Satan city shook tremendously. But neither Saitama nor Beerus felt the collision, something had stopped their punches; both of them had felt as if they had hit a disturbingly strong wall.
The dust cleared, and they saw a figure at least seven feet tall, standing between them. His hands held both the fists in check; his silver hair gleamed in the sun, his outfit was lustrous black armour, embedded with strange glowing jewels, his eyes were gold and fiery, and his smile was plain evil. "Well, well, well…" he had a dark voice, the temperature dropped down to the negatives. "Let's stop now, shall we?" Saitama was surprised at this sudden interference; 'He stopped my Very Serious Punch?' he looked at the man, curious to know how powerful he was. "Who are you?" Saitama asked the man, while casually removing his fist from the man's iron grip. The man raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Why don't you ask your dear Cat friend here? It's been a long time Beerus." Beerus, on the other hand, was filled with Disgust. "How dare you show yourself to me? You son of a bitch!" "Hohoho! Is that how you treat a man who just saved your SORRY ARSE?" "I have no need for your bloody favours! I could've handled it myself!" Beerus punched the man in the face and flew back a good ten meters. "Hey, I don't know what's happened between you two but I asked you who you are?" Saitama stepped in front of the man before he could've retaliated Beerus' punch. The man glared at Saitama, hoping to intimidate him, But Saitama remained unperturbed. Realizing that it was of no use, the man calmed down and spoke. "Forgive my manners; I am Appolyon*, King of Hell* and the Father of Hell's devil."
Appolyon*: Greek for Satan; He is the King of hell*, don't confuse him with Yama, who is the king of death.
I've been busy for a while so it took me some time to write this chapter.
Anyways, what do you think about the new character? And how's the pacing of the story? Did I do justice to Saitama's character? And how was the Fighting Sequence? Please review and let me know.
And about the power levels in this story, there are going to be characters more powerful than Saitama and Goku, who are both, in my perspective equally strong and they are both the strongest of all the heroes who have and who will appear(Ed) in this story. What do you guys think? Any suggestion and criticism is equally welcomed
Thank you guys for liking and following this story. Hopefully, I will update a bit more regularly from now.
See you in the next chapter of One-punch Z.
