(Meanwhile)
Somewhere on the other side of the universe, on the pyramid shaped world known all around as the home of Beerus the Destroyer, a great battle was currently taking place. Well… that's what it looked like from a peon's perspective. From a celestial being's point of view, the fight that was being waged across the sweeping fields of the deity's homeland was just a friendly spar between two ridiculously powerful opponents.
A series of chain explosions ripping across the open valley marked the beginning of yet another volley attack, which was quickly revealed to have been thrown by the familiar, spotted-green and winged form of the biomechanical android Cell; the God of War from a neighboring universe. Gritting his teeth as he soared above the hillsides and the rising clouds of dust and smoke, the artificial warrior cocked back his hand and fired off another barrage of energy attacks, which scattered like a spray of pellets from a shotgun. The attacks bombarded the grasslands for miles, shaking the entire world and sending rubble flying in all directions.
The explosions ripped across the pristine landscape, chasing after its fast-moving target, which revealed itself from the cloud of debris to be the scantily clad Cleopatra, adorned in her revealing black garb, back-flipping from the blasts. When the attack eventually subsided, she ceased her momentum, slamming her feet into the ground and sliding to a stop. Looking up with a frown, the raven haired woman fixed her attention on the sky above and towards her opponent, only to see he had vanished.
Tracking him easily, the goddess's gaze snapped over her shoulder to see the android teleport into view, his two fingers held to his forehead.
Golden electricity crackling around his fingertips, Cell cocked his hand back and, with a loud yell, thrust them down towards his opponent. "Special Beam Cannon!" An orange corkscrew beam rocketed from his fingers and shot towards the woman several times faster than light.
But just when it seemed like it was going to hit her, the raven haired woman spun around and smacked it away with a timely roundhouse kick, sending it arcing into the distance. It then struck one of the moons orbiting the strangely-shaped world and impacted its surface, taking a massive chunk out of its side in an enormous, spherical explosion. When the blinding light of the blast faded, Cleopatra crouched down and sprang off of the valley floor, vanishing in a blur of movement. She moved so quickly she appeared directly behind her opponent in a heartbeat, drawing Cell's gaze around just in time to receive an axe kick to the spine. The blow landed with a deafening thunderclap and sent the android plummeting to the valley floor, drawing a yell of pain from him before his spiraling body slammed into the middle of the planetoid's lake with a splash.
The spray caused by Cell's crash landing in the lagoon reached the shoreline, where Whis and Isis could be seen standing side by side and watching the spar with great interest. A cheerful smile spread across his lips, the teal-skinned man with the white hair and staff murmured in satisfaction as the geyser formed by the android God's drop into the pond settled back into the pool. The winged-woman standing next to him had a similar look on her face, and nodded her head in an impressed manner.
Cleopatra held her position several hundred stories above the valley, watching as the cloud of condensation dispersed. When she saw the ripples in the lake vanish, a burst of water, followed instantly by a pink sphere of energy, suddenly shot out and rocketed towards the goddess. Responding in kind, the black haired woman cocked her hand back and, with a grunt of effort, fired a golden ball of energy at the approaching attack in a speedy counter. The two attacks intercepted one another in midair, detonating and generating a gargantuan explosion, which filled the sky with a blinding flash of white light.
When the sparks and fire generated by the colliding ki blasts faded, leaving a heavy plume hanging in the sky, Cleopatra then balked when she saw a hail of bullet-sized, orange spheres shoot up at her from the lake. Arcing through the sky in all directions, the multiple Dodon Ray shots converged on the goddess's position, prompting the raven haired beauty to load her arm and begin batting away the attacks one by one. Her arms blurred out as she smacked away the hail of bullets, yelling out with every hit while she sent the beams rocketing off-world and to scatter across the galaxy.
The attack faded shortly afterwards, leaving Cleopatra floating in the sky and glaring down at the fog hanging over the lake. Figuring her opponent was about to try something crafty again, she readied herself for a third attack, only to suddenly spin around when she heard a clap of thunder and looked up to see a bolt of blue lightning appear out of thin air.
Appearing in the blink of an eye, Thor, bathed in blue electricity and adorned in his Norse God armor, complete with fur collar, gloves and boots, had his hammer drawn back and pointed towards the sky. The stone melee weapon crackling with a ludicrous amount of energy, the blonde haired Calvin Cline hunk gritted his teeth and, with a mighty bellow, thrust his hammer downwards in a glorified swing.
"DIVINE THUNDER DRUM!" The planet was soon rocked by the howl of a hurricane as a mass of blue lightning blasted from his weapon and shot towards the goddess in the form of an enormous sphere. The flashing ball, the size of a small moon, corkscrewed towards its target, literally blocking out most of the sky with its sheer mass and scale.
Gritting her teeth at the sight of the approaching attack, Cleopatra thrust her finger up and yelled out at the top of her lungs, firing a golden blast into the lightning ball. The powerful beam slammed into the compressed storm shot, burying into its front and locking the pair in an epic tug-of-war match. Eventually, after several seconds of battling one another in a test of power and will, the two blasts eventually gave way to a massive explosion, which filled the sky in a sphere of white, burning light.
The sight of the explosion had Whis make a sound of delight and clap his hands together in applause, even as the valley was rocked by a shockwave and a fierce blast of wind. "Well done. That is some superb maneuvering." He then turned his attention towards his companion, who was also smiling at the performance. "You have taught your student well, Isis. The way she coordinates herself in battle and uses her skills to trade blows with her opponents is of an incredibly high standard. You should be very proud her."
The dark skinned woman giggled and beamed back at her old friend. "I am. But even though she is incredibly talented and fulfils her role as a goddess well, she still has a long way to go before she can be considered strong enough to take my place."
"That's understandable. Your position is an esteemed one, and requires an incredible amount of self-discipline and understanding," Whis replied in a chirpy sounding voice. "Not to mention your level of experience is on equal terms with my own, something that very few beings in this universe have."
"And what of your disciple? Do you still have much to teach Lord Beerus in the ways of fighting?"
"Why, of course," the white haired sage chuckled, folding his arms and turning towards the sky to continue watching the battle unfold. "After all, life is a lesson that we are constantly practicing. Even though we claim to be the masters of a particular field, every single one of us is learning, seeing and experiencing new things every day. I myself, despite my overwhelming wealth of knowledge and wisdom, still have a great many things to learn about the secrets of the universe."
Isis giggled at his response. "That remains to be seen." She then threw him a curious look, one that matched the cheerfulness that was reflected on the attendant's expression. "It has been a few centuries since I last saw you getting surprised or worked up by something out of the ordinary. Maybe with some luck, I might actually be able to see that rare look of bewilderment on you once again."
A warm smile remained pasted on the master martial artist's face, even at the teasing grin the Goddess of Magic was giving him. As he continued to watch the battle being fought between Thor, Cleopatra and Cell in the sky above, and observed the trio as they began trading hits, a sudden ping of electricity unexpectedly shot through his head, causing him to recoil in shock and his gaze to snap over his shoulder in alarm.
The winged goddess Isis, also experiencing a similar ping, spun around and fixed her attention across the grassy plains of Beerus's world, locking it upon the veil beyond the horizon and into the great beyond.
While the spar between the three deities continued behind them, the two master martial artists gawked into the distance, their eyes shimmering in disbelief and their limbs quivering with fright. For a moment the pair stood in absolute silence, ignoring the sounds of battle and the hum of the planet's environment around them. After a full minute passed them, in which neither of them said a thing, the two horrorstruck spectators swallowed nervously and attempted to hone in on whatever it was that'd caught their attention.
"Did you feel that?" Isis whispered, unable to tear her eyes away from the cosmos.
The teal-skinned man, catching his breath, nodded in response. "Yeah."
But what was it? That was the question.
Due to the sudden and intense nature of the energy spike, even with all their experience and near omnipotent capability, the pair of powerful deities had completely lost track of the source of the anomaly. The feedback from the surge had left them standing there, staring off into the distance, and wondering what could've possibly produced an energy signature that had them nearly shit themselves with panic.
It was only after several moments of due deliberation over the sensation that the ever knowledgeable Whis soon came up with an answer. It was one that had a look of displeasure and worry cross his face.
"Someone… or something very powerful… has entered our universe."
