Still holding Set by the face, Gohan yelled out as they descended towards the yellow clouds at high speed. But just before they could reach them and punch straight through to HFIL, an infuriated Set bellowed in rage and powered up. Her blue aura engulfed her before she shot skywards, dragging the demi-Saiyan with her. Their red and blue auras clashed while they spiraled into the air, shooting past the planet that they'd been fighting on and soaring higher and higher into the heavenly plains that governed the order of their universe.
Blowing past moons and stars that didn't exist in the living world, Gohan and Set battled on for some time. Sticking close and circling each other, the pair exchanged punch after kick at high speed, most of them landing but just as many being deflected. Eventually, after several minutes of brawling through the otherworldly cosmos, the pair suddenly came across a distant, spherical world surrounded by moons; far out of the reach of the other Kais. It was here the pair spun in, burning up as they picked up speed before eventually colliding with the field covered planet. Their impact shook the entire world and knocked it slightly out of its orbit.
As it turns out, by some stroke of otherworldly luck, the pair had crash-landed in a field alongside two unassuming spectators. Both dressed in similar posh Kai outfits of blue and red respectively, one of them was a short, purple-skinned young man with a white Mohawk, while the other was a large man with reddish-pink skin with a head of long white hair. Having been out on a pleasant stroll of the hills earlier that morning, the pair had soon become glaringly aware of an outstanding conflict taking place in the universe and quickly linked up with the feed via crystal ball to see what was going on. But just as they were beginning to close in on the source of the untold levels of destruction racking the quadrant, the pair was suddenly interrupted by a pair of figures unexpectedly making landfall on their home turf.
The purple-skinned man with the pointy ears and sharp eyes, blinked in astonishment as he and his assistant stared across at the crater that had formed on the face of their sacred planet. "What in the world…?"
"Where did they come from?" Kibito also asked in bewilderment.
Hilariously enough, the two figures that'd dropped by just happened to be the same ones that were causing all the trouble down below.
Flying out of the hole and bouncing across the grass, Set leapt to her feet and glared at the ditch spewing smoke into the air. But just as she was about to fire a blast his way, a familiar ki signature caught her attention and her eyes snapped to her right. When her eyes landed on the two figures standing several yards away, most notably the shortest one, her surprised gaze gave way to full-blown rage.
"YOU!" the dog woman barked, spinning in the deity's direction and marching towards him. "EAST KAI!"
The figure with the Mohawk gasped and backed away fearfully, "S-Set? Is that you?"
"Yeah! It's me!" the fox deity shouted as her black aura sprang off of her shoulders like wildfire. "That was a real funny joke, you know; helping the other Gods lock me up inside of a fucking pyramid in the middle of nowhere." She then clenched her fists and loaded one at her side. "It was a cold and very, very lonely place. Here… let me give you a taste of what it was like." Aura blasting around her, the goddess launched herself from the ground and lunged right at the terrified Supreme Kai.
But just as she was just inches from landing a punch on him, Set was unexpectedly blindsided by Gohan body-checking her from the side and sending her barreling across the planet, crashing through several plateaus and mountains along the way.
Completely ignoring the stunned and terrified looks of the two aliens standing nearby, the beaten and bruised Gohan powered up and gave chase to his opponent, disappearing in a flash of red. This left both a baffled Supreme Kai and Kibito standing slack-jawed in the middle of the field, staring over the horizon with similarly pale expressions in play. It was while they were looking so close to fainting that all hell finally broke loose.
In a matter of seconds, explosions began engulfing the entire planet as massive chunks of the countryside were blown away in turn. Some areas ended up incinerated in enormous balls of fire, others simply had massive craters punched into them, and a handful more were blasted into a hail of rubble and debris. Either way, it wasn't long before the entire sphere became covered in battle scars and holes, with the Sacred World of the Kais taking on the appearance of a block of Swiss cheese.
Shockwaves and sonic booms reverberating across the skies in the form of trails of red and blue bursts, Gohan and Set continued landing crushing blows on their opposites. It soon reached the point where the pair had received so much damage that they were now battling at only a fraction of the effectiveness they had been at the beginning of their battle.
After receiving a hook across his face that sent him plummeting to the surface of the planet from the upper mesosphere, Gohan quickly tucked up and threw himself into a spin. Just when he was about a hundred meters above the ground, he opened up, slowed his descent, and cupped his hands beside him.
"Ka-me-ha-me …" the Super Saiyan chanted, teeth clenching as he then thrust his hands forward.
But just before he could fire his blast, Set suddenly teleported out of his line of sight and reappeared directly in front of him, grabbing his wrists with both hands and redirecting them skywards.
The goddess laughed at his stunned expression, "Ha! Too slow-"
Gohan smirked,"HAAAA!" He then threw his feet up and, in place of his hands, jabbed them forward and fired a powerful blue beams from his soles. The blast engulfed the woman's torso with concussive force, not only knocking the wind out of her, but also wrapping around her and continuing on. The attack struck a distant mountain and plowed an enormous hole into the planet's surface.
Releasing her opponent from her grip the instant the surprise attack hit her from below, the dazed and burnt Set gawked in shock before glaring in the direction of her retreating opponent. Veins pulsing on her forehead, the woman hit the after burners and blasted after him. "PRICK!" She then elbowed the boy in the face and sent him bouncing to the other side of the planet.
Flying over craters and destroyed mountains, Gohan's form ended up spinning towards what appeared to be a spire of rock standing in the middle of a lake with a patch of grass on top of it. When his body crashed into the lake and slammed into the base of the tower, the column of earth and stone rocked violently to one side before collapsing into the pond. As soon as it fell into the water, sending a cloud of dust and perspiration into the sky, Set wasted no time in advancing upon her quarry.
Lying dazed in the rubble, the badly battered Gohan glared up to see his opponent appear directly overhead. Hands clapping together, the goddess parted them quickly, producing a chain of gold lightning between her palms. "I've had enough of these stupid games! Sword of Osiris!" In a flash of light, a large, impressive sword of Middle Eastern design with a curved edge appeared from the current, which she promptly caught with one hand and brought overhead. "Dodge this!" She then swung down with a yell.
Eyes widening in alarm, the teen's eyes quickly snapped to the boulders next to him, where he saw a large claymore with a gold handle and a gem at the end of the pommel sitting in the ground. Without thinking twice, the Super Saiyan rolled over and, grabbing it, effortlessly yanked it out of the rock before a blade of energy was launched from Set's weapon. The light speed attack slammed into the ground where he'd been lying and, in the blink of an eye, cut the entire planet in half.
The entire world shook violently as the two halves slid in opposite directions, explosions ringing out all across the newly made equator.
Irritated at her miss, Set gave chase to her rival, who she saw was flying backwards with the Z-Sword in his grip. Catching up to the red-haired demi-Saiyan, the goddess swung out at him with swift, wide arcs, the golden blade carving through the air several times before clashing with the heavier one of her opponent's. Sparks flew when Gohan parried her shots, until he dropped to the ground to avoid a decapitating strike. As soon as he'd touched down, he performed a quick back flip, avoiding his opponent when she also dropped down after him and buried a kick into the floor.
Spinning his sword up into a two-handed grip, Gohan quickly sent a wave of ki into the weapon, causing the blade to ignite and turn a hot blue, further protecting it from his opponent's superb edge. Watching the smoking crater carefully, the teen then saw the smoke break and his opponent come charging out of the wall with her sword held back and an enraged look on her face. Rushing towards her in kind, the Super Saiyan clashed with her head to head.
Loud clangs rang out when their swords met, with Set pressing her hand into the back of her blade and pushing forward. Sliding it across her adversary's, she then slashed at him repeatedly, her attacks slamming into his guard over and over, before she swung out wide and sent the boy skidding across the grass with his sword held up. A gust of wind blew between both warriors when they circled one another, the vixen spinning her sword around all-cool style before rushing her opponent once again.
Set attacked her foe viciously, using a single-handed style combined with a series of acrobatic movements that allowed her to avoid her enemy's counter attacks. Gohan on the other hand held his sword in a two-handed grip, utilizing a highly defensive style that allowed him the maneuver around his enemy effectively and counter her hits. His sword slashed out in wide arcs, crashing into Set's blade and knocking her back under the force of his hits. When she leapt at him with a kick, he ducked it, blocking a swing from her sword at the same time before spinning around and swinging his blade in a diagonal motion. His claymore slammed into the woman's and sent her skidding across the field.
Growling, Set threw a downward swing at her target; her blade crossing with Gohan's when he blocked it. But just before she could follow-through, her opponent suddenly grabbed her wrist and yanked her forward. The demi-Saiyan turned on the spot so that the vixen's sword arm was locked over his shoulder and his back was to her. Using his momentum, he then elbowed her in the chest and face, released her, and then spun at her like a top, swiftly kicking her in the face. His hit landed hard and fast, sending her sliding with a shockwave that split the ground beneath them.
When Set stopped skidding from his impressive counter, the woman quickly shook herself out of her daze and moved in for a retaliatory assault.
Ready and waiting, Gohan parried her running blow and quickly sprinted away, the vixen pursuing him relentlessly across the grassy valley. Sensing her right behind him, the teen ducked and spun around, avoiding Set leaping at him with a spinning strike. When she swung at him with a third, he blocked her blow, before retreating a second time. After several yards, the demi-Saiyan unexpectedly changed directions, dropping to the ground with a low swing at his opponent's legs. Set swiftly maneuvered around it, checking his shin when he suddenly performed a break-dancing kick, spinning his legs through the air like a windmill before leaping back up and slashing out at her with his long blade.
Sparks flew between them as they struck out again and again, their attacks colliding in a series of loud clangs. This exchange continued on until Set performed a quick thrust to the teen's head, cutting his cheek when he slipped it yet forcing him to back off. When he ducked under a blow aimed for the neck, Gohan was suddenly kicked in the face, leaving him wide open for the vixen to swing down with her sword and slice right across his chest.
Blood splattered over the ground when her blade carved into his muscles. Though it was only a flesh wound, it still left a very painful impression.
Shouting in pain, Gohan sprinted away, his opponent charging after his tail across the ruined fields of grass. After running up the side of a towering hill to its peak, the demi-Saiyan spun around to meet his fast-moving foe, swinging at her with a low, upward strike, which she avoided by speedily jumping over him. His missed swing produced a powerful energy slash, which arced outwards, cleaves the tops off of a couple of mountains, and cut a third off a nearby, orbiting moon. When he spun around, he met Set rushing at him from behind with several more swings, which he hurriedly blocked with his sword.
When the goddess pressed her advantage, she forced him back, her curved blade crashing into his again and again until they both swung at each other with a downward and upward swing respectively. This resulted in a collision that produced an earsplitting shockwave and a clang, the former of which caused the entire countryside to fracture and shift violently. The resulting earthquake literally knocked an observing Kibito and Supreme Kai stumbling to the ground.
Their blades grinding into each other, both chipped and nicked from the prolonged clash, Set pushed forward, pressing her hand into the back of hers while Gohan kept a firm, two-handed grip on his. Both growled as they drew closer, their noses just centimeters away from their steel as the vixen pushed down from above. When the God of Storm's drew close enough that she could literally feel her opponent's breath on her face, a grin formed across her lips as she leered murderously in his direction.
"Not bad," she chuckled. "Your form is absolutely sublime."
Gohan, snarling, smirked right back at her, "You're not too shabby yourself."
With a shout, the demi-Saiyan disengaged, causing the goddess to stumble passed him. When they spun around to meet each other, Gohan cocked his sword back and, with a loud roar, thrust it upwards hard and fast. Set swung downwards in response, only for her opponent's sword to slash right through hers and the tip of his blade to cut across her forehead. The glancing blow caused a spray of blood, leaving a scar just above her eye that stunned the goddess.
Dropping her damaged sword, Set looked up in alarm to see Gohan bring his sword up and swing down at her. Responding instantly, the fox deity dropped to her knee and, slapping her hands together, caught the sword between her palms. As soon as she stopped it, she then twisted to the side violently and threw her opponent across the field, causing him to drop his weapon and roll down the hill like a barrel.
The moment he was sent rolling, the goddess sprang after him, picking up her damaged sword and spinning towards the teen. When Gohan stopped and turned to face his attacker, he immediately had to throw up his arm to block the stab from his foe, which ended up with her broken sword running right through his forearm. Upon impaling his limb, Set spun on the spot and snapped a kick into his stomach, sending him into the sky and straight through a distant mountain.
The edifice exploded in a shower of rubble when Gohan's form blasted through it before it went tumbling to a stop on the other side. A cry of agony left the teen's lips when he landed on his impaled arm. Quickly reaching for the handle, he yanked the broken sword out, before his eyes shot skywards to see Set diving towards him from the clouds.
With a shout, he chucked the busted blade at her, only for her to kick it out of the way and plummet towards him with a second kick.
Gohan leapt out of the way, avoiding the crushing blow that impacted the planet and cracked its surface. As soon as his feet touched the hillside several yards away, the Super Saiyan dashed forward and vanished into super speed. All of a sudden, the frustrated Set found herself surrounded by Gohans, as the warrior was moving around her so fast that he was producing countless after-images that filled the entire region and were now dashing circles around her. This had the vixen's eyes shooting around in alarm, sweat dripping down her head as she tried to figure out which was the real one.
Just before she could locate her shockingly swift adversary, a blow crashing across her cheek from the side sent her stumbling, the after images vanishing and Gohan reappearing half a kilometer away. Skidding to a stop, the demi-Saiyan took aim at his foe and vanished in a crack of wind, another blow slamming into Set's side when the Saiyan rushed past her at invisible speed. Then, after several seconds of silence, the red haired warrior dove towards his foe in a zigzag pattern, getting underneath her, and driving a kick into her chin that lifted her off the floor and into the atmosphere.
Teleporting after her in a golden flash, Gohan's form reappeared above Set and, just before the goddess could regain her senses, drove a kick into her side that sent her plummeting back to the planet. But the teen didn't stop there.
Diving in pursuit of the fox, Gohan caught her in mid-fall and began driving hundreds of punches into her head and stomach. His fists slammed into her over and over again, the sounds of deafening thunderclaps ringing out with every hit as they drew closer to the grassy floor. Then, after an onslaught of hits that left Set dazed and bruised, the demi-Saiyan loaded his fist and, with a roar that was matched by his red aura bursting around him, drove a right cross into her face that knocked the woman into the planet and out the other side.
The result was an enormous hole being blasted through the Sacred World's two halves, with the exit hole taking a massive chunk out of the celestial body. When the hail of rubble from the resulting cataclysm drifted into orbit, the two audience members on the ground saw Set emerge from behind one of the debris clouds with her glare fixed on the gaping tunnel. It was through the newly made hole in the planet she saw her opponent drift into view on the other side and, with his hands cupped over his forehead, he took aim.
"MASENKO-HAAAAAA!" Gohan bellowed, unleashing a golden blast straight towards his infuriated target. The attack rocketed through the fissure and thundered towards the goddess like a comet.
Seeing the incoming blast, Set smirked and held her hand out to it. "You think I'd fall for such a simple attack?!" She then gathered energy for a decisive counter attack.
But just as she was in the process of forming a fiery orange sphere in front of her palm, her shoulders were suddenly jerked upwards and her back was pulled against a hard surface. Caught completely by surprise, Set looked over her shoulder to see her opponent had caught her in a full nelson and, with a wide smirk framing his face, the teen powered up and blasted forward, taking her with him.
"Hey! What?! How-"
"Eyes front, Set!" Gohan shouted, his red aura blazing around him.
When the goddess looked to see where they were going, she saw the blast that her opponent had fired earlier closing in at an even faster rate. The instant she realized what the hell her enemy was planning, her eyes widened in horror before a terrified scream left her lips. A split second later, both the blast and the vixen collided in midair, the attack exploding above the planet with such force that it pushed the two halves of the ruined world from its original place. The golden, sphere-shaped inferno filled the sky, dwarfing the Sacred World three times over, and even managing to swallow up two nearby moons and disintegrate them.
The Supreme Kai and Kibito had to shield themselves from the shockwaves that crashed into the celestial body, digging their feet into the ground just to stay up. When the gales of wind died down shortly afterwards, the two of them looked back to see what'd happened.
At first astonished by the sight of the fire and smoke filled skies, as well as the completely trashed landscape, the East Kai with the Mohawk then blinked in shock when he saw the air clear. "Th-They're gone."
"Where did they go?" Kibito asked aloud, unable to locate them either.
