Chapter 259 - 249: Monkey See, Monkey...Cant? (II) (1/2)
”Well then, Universe 6, Universe 7, please make your way onto the ring!”, the announcer said.
Nao and Caulifla had one final look at each other in silence before the two jumped off the elevated platform down onto the ring. It was fifty meters in length so it was pretty big for a fighting stage.
The two then approached each no more than seven square panels apart. The announcer also came up to the two, and looked back to the fighter's area to where it was now split off into two sections.
One table belonged to Beerus's side while the other to Champa. Vegeta, Piccolo, Goku, and Monaka sat next to Beerus while Beerus had his angel attendant behind him. Kale, Hit, Cabba and Frost could be seen next to Champa while his angel attendant stood behind him.
As for Champa, he couldn't remove the grin he had on his face as he watched Nao and Caulifla square each other off. Beerus got irked by this and yelled out to him.
”Say Champa I've been getting this feeling, what exactly do you get out of this deal? No matter what it's a loss for you.”
Hearing that, Champa's grin became wider and replied back.
”Hmmmm? Do you really want to know, Beerus? But then again it's not like I have to answer you.”, Champa replied while taunting him.
And it worked, clear again streaked across Beerus's eyes.
”Can't you answer properly for once like a decent brother would!? Stupid Champa.”, Beerus said, yelling out at Champa in anger.
”Oh psssh. You always overreact to everything Beerus. But it's alright, I'll answer. You did have your own talk with Nao but so did I. I'm paying off a 2-fold debt.”
”A two fold debt, is it? Wait...could it be related to that?”, Beerus said with a serious tone, and his anger subsided.
”Oh? Looks like you may already know, if you managed to look into the recent events of the future that is. Nao helped take out someone that caused some trouble to our Universe.”
”I see, so it was that situation. That really was a troublesome matter but I'm glad it was taken care of.”
Hearing Beerus say that, Champa couldn't help but nod in confirmation.
”It was indeed that, so I guess I don't need to go into the details. As for my other one, it's more private but it will reveal itself in due time. Isn't that right, Vados?”
”So you did come to learn of this matter, Lord Champa. Observing your earlier behavior I assume you had, but yes. Father will announce it soon.”
”I-I-It even reached the ears of the Grand Minister!?”, Champa yelled out while stuttering. Even Beerus became surprised. Goku also tried to ask what was going on but Piccolo pulled him back, placing his hind over his mouth.
”Well of course it would. It is a rather serious matter, and I made my decision on it so Father will take care of the rest. It did look like you spoke out about some other matter with Nao as well, may I ask what was that about?”
”Oh yes, thank you for reminding me, Vados. That was pretty surprising to hear but there is something to announce to you lot. Same goes for you too, fighters.”
Hearing that, Goku finally managed to squeeze through Piccolo's hand and excitedly yelled out.
”I've no idea what is goin' on right now but is somethin' goin' to happen!? It sounds like Nao has done some pretty crazy things lately without us.”
”Of course! Nao is heading off to another adventure of his in a couple months and won't be back for a long time. So he decided he's going to hold a big send off feast. Both Universe 6 and 7 are invited, he's looking into inviting the other Universes right now.”
After Champa announced that, everyone from Universe 7 became shocked, while interested looks appeared in the eyes from Universe 6.
”Huh? What do ya mean Nao is leavin' off to another adventure? He is leavin' us?”
”Oh shut it, Goku. Whis and I were going to bring it up to you guys, but it's as Champa said. Nao will be leaving in a couple months. I'm surprised he's going to hold a party for us though.”
”Right? So no matter what we get to enjoy some good food then, hahaha!”, Champa laughed out with a smile.
”So we must give these guys a good show, don't you think, brother? Just do note no matter what happens in Nao's fight, I won't interfere. Same for you, Beerus. I want to see what he's trying to do.”
”That's something I can agree with. Goku just sit back, we'll go over it in detail with you guys later.”
Hearing that, Goku couldn't help but nod in silence. He then shifted his eyes back to Nao and Caulifla. Knowing that a final feast to send Nao and the girls off would take place soon, he became excited to what this match was going to show.
Beerus and Champa nodded at each other, before the two raised one of their fingers. Letting their destruction ki form at their fingertip, the two shot out a ray blast, taking a direct hit at the medal gong floating in the air above the ring. DONG!
Hearing the ancient bell sound off, the announcer spoke out once more, starting the match. Nao and Caulifla waited patiently for it to start.
”Begin!”
Hearing the round officially begin, Nao channeled his ki. He attuned himself to his space affinity. Golden hues appeared in his irises. Willing spatial spheres around him, he covered his whole body with them. He then targeted more to the underside of his feet!
”About damn time! Whatever it is you're doing, I won't let you! Take this, Crush Cannon!”, Caulifla said, suddenly yelling out.
Caulifla then yelled out, allowing her own ki to erupt. It was only white but it was enough to let her large spiky hair, which was similar to Raditz's hair but only extended down past her neck, flutter in the air. A white aura enveloped her body as she extended her right arm out.
Twisting her palm upward, dense red ki condensed on top of it! It soon became a large red sphere of ki. As if it had a will of its own, it suddenly split off into many ray particles firing off and shot at Nao all at once!
”Not even giving me time to talk why I'm here in the first place...', Nao uttered to himself. 'Well, I wanted to sub in and take Goku's role in showing off some transformations to get Caulifla more interested in me...but I think it already started to take effect? Well let's just stop her Crush Cannon for now.', Nao thought to himself.
