"WWWHHHAAAAAAAAT?" Son Goku had screamed as he sat on grass. Only a few minutes passed since Goku had had recovered from his battle with Beerus the Destroyer. The time was dusk, the night sky was filled with white stars and a crescent moon, and all of Goku's other friends and family were currently having dinner and celebrating Bulma Brief's birthday Forty-fifth party in the Capsule Corp backyard.
"What do you mean Lord Beerus left?" His orange Gi was battered and damaged excluding his orange Gi top, which was destroyed. Goku was currently surrounded by his friends, such as Prince Vegeta, Piccolo, Prince Tarble and Broly as they stood over him.
"It's just as we had said, Goku. After you were knocked unconscious, Lord Beerus, the Destroyer and his Divine-looking friend just left Earth." Piccolo said as he pointed his nose down at Goku.
Flashback
Son Goku had landed on Capsule Corporation but has refused to wake up.
"Now, then. Time to fulfill my promise in destroying this blue marble you all call a planet." Beerus the Destroyer said, then raised his left hand up toward the level of his nose and generated purple destructive ki within his left palm. His entire body had drowned itself with purple aura. He aimed his destructive ki at all of Goku's friends and family, whom were all standing next to each other like one big family photo.
All of Goku's friends and family were visibly terrified of as they had all thought of what would happen, next. Some of them growled, such as Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta, Broly, Tien, Krillin and Yamcha. Some of them teared up, such as Chi-Chi, Krillin and Eighteen's daughter, a young Marron and a pregnant Videl. Some of Goku's friends, such as Oolong and Puar had hid behind their friends.
Son Goku continued to stay unconscious while his body was lying on the hard ground of Capsule Corporation. And his head was lying on his wife, Chi-Chi's lap.
Broly clinched his fists, tightly in anger. He wants to fight Beerus, but after listening to Prince Vegeta, he learned that Beerus was stronger than him.
Beerus had seen the looks on most of the friends and family of Son Goku. A small smile had formed on his face for a split second. It was hidden behind the purple destructive aura that Beerus was producing. And then, within the next minute... Beerus had fired a small ball of destructive ki at the ground. It had completely vaporized a small fracture of the pavement near the swimming pool.
"Eh?" All the shocked and confused looks on each and every one of Son Goku's friends and family were left shocked and confused. Some of them, such as Yamcha, Oolong and Puar felt relieved the next second.
"Look at that, Lord Beerus. You destroyed Earth, like you said you would. Just not much of it." Whis noted as he looked at Beerus.
"Yes. It is a shame. I must've used up all my strength in our fight." Beerus replied to Whis' comment. He then heard someone snoozing right behind him. Seven o' clock. He turned around and saw Son Goku snoozing. "I guess I have to come back next time and finish the rest." Beerus smiled.
"Maybe, we can name him the next God of Destruction-as soon as Lord Beerus kicks the bucket, that is." Whis chuckled.
Beerus quickly turned back to Whis. "Hey! I'm not leaving the job any time, soon!" After a few seconds, Beerus then turned to Bulma. "Hey, you. Misses Vegeta."
"Briefs." Whis corrected Beerus.
"Misses briefs." Beerus said.
Bulma gasped. "What now?" she asked, hoping that Beerus won't be irritated or angry.
"I apologize for ruining your festivities." Beerus had apologized.
"Oh?" Bulma had paused for a moment, the pointed her right index finger at him. "Forget that, you should apologize for slapping me, earlier!"
"Hm?" Beerus's eyes grew big for a moment. "Yes. I apologize for hitting you."
"I could've died, you know!" Buma yelled.
Oolong had suddenly ran next toward Bulma with fear in his eyes. "You know he can still kill us, right?"
"We would be honored if you invited us to your next festival." Beerus asked.
"Only if you promise not to start another fight, again." Buma laughed.
"I can agree to that. But, I would like to try some of that pudding." Beerus said.
"I can fill the whole pool with pudding, if you want." Bulma looked at the Capsule Corporation pool for a moment. Then, turned back to Beerus. "But if you try it and don't like it, I don't want to hear it out of you." Bulma joked.
"If I don't like it, I won't complain. I'll just destroy this planet." Beerus joked.
End Flashback
"Aw, man..." Goku had scratched his head with his right index finger. "And I was hoping that I could get one more sparring match with him, again..."
Tarble asked. "You want to fight him, again?"
"That's right. Heh." Goku chuckled.
"I'll tell you one thing, Goku. Even when you're backed into a corner, it feels scary not knowing what you're capable of." Piccolo noted.
"Right! I didn't know if I if I was actually going to make it out of that one. It's thanks to Broly's yell that I was able to regain conscious when I was up there in space." Goku told Piccolo as he pointed his right index finger at the night sky.
"Broly, huh?" Piccolo asked, then turned to Broly. Whom was looking at Goku.
"And by the way." Goku turned his head to Broly. "I'm dying to know how strong you are, Broly."
"Kakarot?" Broly said.
"After meeting you, I've decided I want to test you and see how powerful you really are." Goku said as he punched his right knuckles into his left palm.
Broly quietly gasped. Then nodded the next second.
"Listen to me, Kakarot! I promise that the next time we do that stupid ritual, I'll be the Super Saiyan God!" Vegeta said with a look of determination on his face.
"Okay. You'll be the God, next time. And just to give you a heads up, that God power might be really heavy-if you know what I mean." Goku chuckled in front of Vegeta. "And speaking of power, Vegeta... when Bulma got slapped, you were all angry like, "YOU HURT MY BULMA!" Goku had mocked Vegeta for the stunt that had happened, hours prior.
Vegeta had gasped and blushed at the same time as he learned what Goku was talking about.
"I can see why you chose her. She's quite the motivator for you, isn't she?" Goku chuckled.
"My hero!"
"Hm?" Broly, Piccolo and Tarble had looked to see Bulma approach them.
"You never cease to amaze me, Vegeta." Bulma giggled as she clutched onto Vegeta's left forearm.
Tarble giggled as he rubbed the back of his head. 'That's my brother for you.'
"W-what? I-I don't remember saying that!" Vegeta quickly crossed his arms and turned around to not face Bulma. Making Bulma unclutch him his left arm. "It doesn't even matter. And what does matter is that I had surpassed you, Kakarot!"
"You did? How?" Goku asked, confusingly.
"Hey, dad?"
"Hm?" Goku had suddenly turned his head, three o' clock to see his adult son, Son Gohan approach him.
"Gohan." Piccolo said as he saw Gohan approach Goku.
"What is it, Gohan?" Goku asked.
Gohan looked back, seven o' clock to see his wife, Videl nodding at him. Gohan he then turned forward toward his dad and begun twiddling his thumbs. "There's something that I want to tell you..."
Goku nodded. "Okay. What?"
"Well..." A small peachfuzz appeared on Gohan's cheeks. "Me and my wife Videl-as you know, Mister Satan's daughter have been doing some sort of training, lately, and we..."
"Hm?" Goku just stared at Gohan, clueless.
'Is he going to say what I think he's going to say?' Piccolo had thought to himself.
Gohan then gulped. "We... we're going to have a baby!" Gohan said loud enough for Goku to hear it.
A moment had passed and Goku remained silent. He was not surprise or happy or sad or shocked. He just gave Gohan a confused look for a moment.
"Oh! Congratulations, Gohan!" Bulma smiled as she congratulated Gohan.
'Looks like Kakarot's going to be a grandpa.' Vegeta thought.
'I guess Gohan finally did it, after all.' Piccolo had thought.
'Starting a family. That sound nice. I wish me and my wife, Gure can start one of our own.' Tarble smiled and thought.
'What's a... baby?' Broly thought.
Goku blinked at Gohan, still looking at him, confusingly.
'Um... he's not saying anything.' Gohan had begun to feel nervous as Goku had not given him the proper response.
"Gohan!" Goku called, which kind of startled Gohan. He gave Gohan a serious look for a moment.
"Uh..." Gohan looked confused on why Goku was giving him a serious look.
"Make sure you train him to become big and strong, okay?" Goku smiled.
"Uh, him?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah. You and your wife are having a boy, right?" Goku had assumed that Gohan's unborn child was going to be a boy.
"Well, actually... we're having a baby girl, dad." Gohan told Goku.
"A girl?" Goku asked, sounding a little shocked.
"That's right." Gohan nodded.
"Congratulations!" Bulma said, once more.
"Well if it's a girl, Gohan, then make sure you train her to be big and strong, okay?" Goku chuckled.
Gohan rubbed his head with his left hand, with a smile and small blush on his face. "R-right. Thanks, dad."
As Goku and Gohan are talking to each other, Broly couldn't help but watch and smile. He looked at the night sky and noticed how pretty it was. He has never seen anything like Earth's before. He looked down and around at the palm trees above his head and the grass below his feet.
"Hey, Broly!"
Broly heard his name be called by Goku and decided to turn toward him.
"I know we only met today, but how would you like to stay here on Earth?" Goku asked.
"Earth?" Broly asked.
"Yeah! You get train, relax and eat lots of delicious food, here! Heh!" Goku said in an optimistic tone.
Broly stared at Goku for a few seconds, then nodded.
"That's the spirit!" Goku gave Broly a thumbs up.
"Um... I have a question." Tarble asked.
Vegeta looked at his younger brother. "What is it?"
"Sorry for interrupting, Goku. But how do I get back to my planet-my wife, Gure?" Tarble asked.
"Oh, that? I can probably lend you one of my spaceships. But for now, stay and enjoy the party." Bulma said.
"And while you're here on Earth, why don't you have a little sparring match with me and Vegeta while you're at it?" Goku insisted.
"A s-sparring match?" Tarble asked as he stared at Goku.
"He means, training." Vegeta said.
Tarble gasped. "Oh! Then I would greatly appreciate it!" Tarble then bowed his head and upper body forward toward Goku. "Thank you, Goku."
Goku shook his head no. "Nah, you don't call me Goku. Call me Kakarot." Goku said, giving Tarble permission to call Goku by his Saiyan name.
Tarble gasped, again. "Really?"
"Yeah. You helped me turn into a God, so..."
"I would be honored! Thank you, Kakarot!" Tarble bowed his head and upper body forward and toward Goku.
"Tch!" Vegeta crossed his arms and turned his head the opposite direction. 'A Saiyan prince shouldn't bow to a clown like Kakarot.' Vegeta thought.
"You, too, Broly." Goku said as he turned his head toward Broly.
"Eh?"
"I'm giving you permission to call me Kakarot. Heh." Goku smiled and chuckled.
Broly smiled toward Goku. "Thanks... Kakarot."
Author's Note: The next few chapters will take place building up Frieza's return.
And also, I know they said that Bulma turned thirty-eight, but that was a lie. She's actually forty-five years old in Battle of the Gods. Bulma was born on 733 AG and Beerus came to Earth on 778 AG.
