Hello and welcome back to With Creation, Comes Destruction! After taking a brief tour through the previous chapters from many moons ago, including making some substantial changes to the Harem chapter, I believe it's officially time to continue the grand tale of Lord Arukoru! Last time we had the pleasure of seeing the mighty God of Destruction from Universe 13, Vegeta had challenged him to a battle between Saiyan's. Who will win this battle of unbreakable pride versus unfathomable power? And will Goku somehow get involved within proceedings? It's time to found out now! Anyway, I'm your host/author of the night or day, OverlordAKX, and I don't own anything besides my account, this idea, and my OC's. As always, sit back, relax, and enjoy the chapter. 

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO

LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arukoru POV, Location: Beerus' Planet

*As the sun lazily hung above both Saiyan's, Lord Arukoru couldn't help but feel a tingle of exhilaration. Shooting a glance at the silent and confident Vegeta, the destroyer god allowed an excited smile of anticipation to grace his facial features. As their purple and blue Ki trails glistened against the pink sky, Arukoru could count on a singular hand the number of opportunities he had to fight someone powerful. Finding something worthy of his time that wasn't Eru presented its harsh challenges due to his rigorous, daily training regime. And while he knew this cocky prince didn't have any kind of power to eclipse, let alone worry him, he had to indulge his desires. His Saiyan blood was boiling for a proper fight, and both of Beerus' students could scratch that itch. He just had to make sure he didn't accidentally kill them.*

Arukoru: *lands with a neutral expression on his face* This is where we'll spar?

Vegeta: *lands on the opposite side* No. *smirks while balling his fist and raising it up to his face* This is where I'm going to defeat you!

Arukoru: *raises his eyebrow* Oh? Will you now? *cracks his knuckles* Because thus far, with your current output, you'll be nothing more than a light workout.

Vegeta: *scowls while lightly grinding his teeth in frustration* I'll show you how much of a "light workout" I am when you're on the ground, sweating and begging for mercy!

Arukoru: *laughs confidently* Hahahahaha! That's quite the hotheaded temper you possess, Vegeta. *gets into a fighting stance with a smile on his face* I can't wait to see if it rages like an inferno or sputters out like a firecracker!

https://youtu.be/KioUvQQDGq4

Vegeta: *gets into his fighting stance before saying in a biting tone* Underestimating me is the worst mistake you've ever made.

Arukoru: *his smile grows slightly more comprehensive, with destroyer energy crackling around his form* Then how about this, Vegeta. I'll give you one free shot. *Vegeta flinches, but Y,N adds on* But I'm warning you if you waste i------

*Busting forward, which left behind a deafening sonic boom in his wake, Vegeta cocked his fist back and, with a prideful Saiyan cry, slammed it against Lord Arukoru's left cheek! The result was instantaneous as Arukoru's head shot to the left side while Vegeta's fist caused his flesh to ripple and quake! Some loose saliva flew out of the destroyer god's mouth and landed on the grass below! Vegeta's speed was laid bare as water was gushing, tree branches were rattling, and parts of the ground beneath the two Saiyan's were uprooted. Vegeta looked on with pride swelling through his form as the destroyer god from Universe 13 took a singular step backward to register the blow. As Arukoru brought his left hand up to inspect the damage, the battlefield grew unsteadily calm for a few seconds, with the faint whooshing from Vegeta's Blue transformation being the only noise. Vegeta's pride was immediately thrown to the wayside, however, as Lord Arukoru snapped his gaze back onto Vegeta and roughly grabbed his arm, all the while wearing a pensive expression on his face.*

Arukoru: *chuckles dryly* You're gonna regret it.

Vegeta: *grunts* Hnnn?!

*Without wasting a moment, Arukoru twisted Vegeta's arm while removing it from his cheek and began to swing him around wildly before the prince could counter. Through his blurred vision, Vegeta noticed one thing which made his rage boil, his opponent's cheek only suffered the tiniest of pigment changes. After a few dizzying swings to build momentum, the destroyer god launched the flailing Vegeta towards the heavens above like a mere ragdoll. The destroyer god screamed as he continued his assault by holding his flat hands upwards, with a purple ball of Ki energy beginning to form. The sky started to take on a darker hue as Saiyan's attack grew larger and larger until it was roughly the size of a small hill. Vegeta, meanwhile, backflipped several times in the air to halt his momentum and glared down at Arukoru. Seeing the massive purple ball of Ki energy forming above him, Vegeta sneered cockily as he outstretched one of his hands and began to form his counterattack against Arukoru's! Electricity crackled and surged around both Saiyan's and their growing attacks as the destroyer god charged his Saiyan's Wrath, and Vegeta responded in kind by charging his Big Bang Attack!*

Vegeta: *yells as his power surges* I refuse to falter! Not as long as you have that stupid grin on your face!

Arukoru: *grins* Now that's the spirit, Vegeta! *laughs* Fight me with all your power; otherwise, you'll stand no chance against me ha-ha!

Vegeta: *scowls before yelling* Don't you dare patronize me!?

Arukoru: *tsks* I wasn't patronizing you, Vegeta. *adopts a serious tone* I was telling you the truth.

*With a mighty roar from Vegeta and a casual fling from Arukoru, the gigantic purple and blue orbs of devastating power zoomed towards one another! The attacks swiftly clashed against one another, sending veils of purple and blue that completely overtook the pink atmosphere! Harsh winds began to swirl, trees were uprooted, and parts of the ground began to rip as the two attacks clashed against one another! Sparks coming off from their attacks emanated between the massive purple and blue Ki attacks as their brutal struggle marred the landscape! The Saiyan Prince gritted his teeth in frustration as two horrible truths were swirling in his mind; one being he was losing ground and the other being his opponent was holding back tremendously. But being the ever-proud Saiyan he was, Vegeta wouldn't allow himself to admit defeat, not even within his mind! However, much to the prince's dread, his attack began to buckle underneath the looming pressure! With a smirk, the destroyer god watched as his attack ruthlessly shredded through Vegeta's Big Bang Attack and hurled directly towards Vegeta. Yet instead of horrified terror being etched upon his, Vegeta crossed his arms and slid underneath Arukoru's attack, laughing pridefully as he heard it sailing away.*

Vegeta: *smirks* Your arrogance has blinded you, destroyer god! Take a good, long look at what your attack did to my own!

*Arukoru looked with an intrigued frown washing over his face as he saw the two halves of Vegeta's Big Bang Attack rapidly converging towards him. Blinking back and forth between the duo, he moved with fluid conviction that would make any well-trained fighter green with envy. Disappearing right before Vegeta's eyes, the next thing the Saiyan prince saw was one of his "Big Bang Attack Lite's" get smacked away towards a mountainside. As the mountain crumbled into ruins in the background, Vegeta saw Lord Arukoru floating a few inches above the other half of his attack. With a leg covered within a god of destruction's Ki, the Saiyan from Universe 13 flashed a smirk before delivering a mighty ax kick with such force that it created an ear-shattering sonic boom. The entire sky flashed with pink's, blue's, and purple's, as the other half of the Big Bang Attack smashed into the ground below, creating a massive crater and hauling mounds of dirt, rock, and grass in the process! But right before it could disperse into miserable nothingness, Arukoru allowed some arrogance to escape as he shot a tiny amount of destroyer energy into the attack, causing it to be erased without remorse!*

Arukoru: *shacks his wrists, loosening some of the joints in the process* Impressive technique, Vegeta. I wonder if you have any more tricks up your sleeves. *says in a joking tone* Or is separation the only thing you're good at?

*With nary a word leaving his tightly sealed lips, Vegeta launched himself towards the joking Arukoru, looking more like an aggressive comet with a widow's peak than a Saiyan. However, the destroyer god expected this and quickly cut the enraged prince off in the middle and landed a devastating knee strike to his stomach! Blood shot out of Vegeta's mouth, and his eyes momentarily rolled into the back of his skull as the prince's entire body lurched forward before coming to a complete stop. Feeling rage and pride streaming through his veins, Vegeta shakily performed a desperation dropkick, which caught Lord Arukoru directly on the jaw, staggering the destroyer god. Deciding to push the advantage while in control, a still upside-down Vegeta stretched his arms forward with Ki blasts already forming, and with vicious fury, he unleashed all of them at the recovering Arukoru.* 

Arukoru: *looks on with mirth twinkling in his eyes* Resorting to useless Ki blast spamming? I can see my looming threat has kicked you into dark places, Vegeta.

*As the projectiles rocketed towards the destroyer god, he stepped forward to answer the feeble challenge of these orbs. Seeing the first one whooshing towards him, Arukoru effortlessly kicked it like a soccer ball and sent the blast careening into the ground! Smirking as he saw the second orb closing in, Arukoru coated his hand in dense Ki and grabbed the blast right out of the air! A bored chuckled escaped as he bounced the orb a few times, and then he threw it back towards its brethren with a...special gift attached. The blue Ki orb now had a darker tinge to it, courtesy of destroyer energy, and once it collided with the 2nd blast, the entire sky erupted within a brightly colored explosion of blue and purple! Nothing was left in the wake of this explosion besides billowing smoke and howling wind. At the same time, Arukoru had a short struggle to find his opponent within the heavy plume produced by his attack.*

Arukoru: Clever tactic, Vegeta. *closes his eyes and senses for Vegeta's Ki* But not clever enough to trick me.

*Readying a Ki blast to strike at Vegeta's still body, Arukoru noticed a bright yellow source shredding through the smoke like hot butter! The destroyer god wasted no time in bringing up his arms in a defensive "X" like pattern, as he was forced to brunt the full force of Vegeta's Final Flash! The crafty Saiyan prince utilized the Ki blast barrage and heavy smokescreen to the fullest by charging a devastating Final Flash! The destroyer god gritted his teeth as the fur on his arms tingled with a mixture of dull pain and excitement! With a mighty roar, Arukoru surged Ki around his entire body and unleashed it to create a massive shockwave, thereby dissipating the Final Flash and any residual smoke. Wiping a bead of sweat off his forehead, he looked towards the attack's point of origin and grinned as he spotted Vegeta. Yet that grin transformed into a look of surprise as he saw his opponent completely engulfed within a gigantic sphere of light purple Ki energy.*

Vegeta: *yells intensely* Galick Gun! Fire!

*The smoke warped, and the entire area was lit in a light purple hue as the powerful blast left Vegeta's thrusted hands and rapidly neared its target. Arukoru grinned as he didn't intend to dodge this attack like the prince had done his beforehand; instead, he snapped his fingers, and a dark purple Ki barrier formed around him! The Saiyan from Universe 13 then willingly lunged into the beam, much to Vegeta's evident confusion! Yet that confusion was swiftly answered as once Arukoru's barrier made contact with the Galick Gun, it was thoroughly erased! Nothing was left behind, but tiny specks of dazzlingly bright purple embers as the destroyer god rushed through the beam's middle! Vegeta had no choice but to leap back to avoid being erased, thereby cutting off his beam. Arukoru floated towards Vegeta, completely unopposed, smirking at the prince.*

Arukoru: *rolls his shoulder and evaporates his barrier* You like my Destroyer Barrier? It's quite helpful in rushing down my opponents, as you could clearly tell.

Vegeta: *narrows his eyes and scowls* Just because you have neat parlor tricks doesn't mean you'll best me!

Arukoru: *smirks* You're an impressive warrior with plenty of moxie, Vegeta. If only you were around when I first became a God of Destruction, you could have posed a legitimate threat to me then.

Vegeta: *scoffs while crossing his arms* Hmph. I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or slug you in the face.

Arukoru: *outstretches his arms in a welcoming pose* Feel free to try again. *snickers* It didn't work out for you the first time, but maybe the second time will be your charm! *retracts his arms and taps his right index finger against his chin* Or maybe this fight is nearing its conclusion.

Vegeta: *eyes widen* Wha------!

*Vegeta's eyes bugged out in pain as the Saiyan's Wrath he had removed from the equation earlier slammed into his backside! A howl of agony escaped from the prince's lips as his entire back was set alight with torment! The pain felt unimaginable as the ferocious energy crackled around him! He was strapped to the front of the gigantic orb, and said orb was rapidly descending towards the ground! The attack slammed into the ground, and everything that once resided there was flung aside due to the sheer intensity! After a few more moments of Arukoru's attack drilling Vegeta into the dirt, the attack finally dissipated and left behind a massive crater, with Vegeta's twitching body square in the middle. The prince's armor had several spider-web cracks running along both his arms and torso, a significant chunk of the armor had been completely shattered on the backside, and cuts and bruises were littered across his body.*

Arukoru: *lands at the edge of the crater* You must be thinking, "how the hell did that happen."

Vegeta: *says in a muffled tone* Vhrrhm Mrmph Glrrhmp.

Arukoru: *cups a hand around his ear* Huh? What was that, Vegeta? I think you have too much dirt in your mouth.

Vegeta: *shakily gets up on all fours and growls in a low tone* H-How.....How did you manage that? *spits a glob of blood onto the ground beneath him*

Arukoru: *shrugs dismissively* It was simple, really. *wiggles one of his feet around, much to Vegeta's dismay* This was how. A lot more discrete than waggling around a finger, no?

*Instead of responding, Vegeta gritted his teeth and, despite his heavily injured body, threw two Ki blasts before vanishing from sight. Arukoru slapped both Ki blasts away with zero effort before immediately feeling a foreign pressure on the back of his neck. The destroyer god exhaled as he whirled around, grabbed Vegeta by the leg, and punched him square in the stomach! Yet the Saiyan prince didn't get sent careening away, as he was reeled back in like a yo-yo by the leg and was hit squarely in the stomach for a second time! Vegeta coughed up a mixture of blood and saliva as his opponent dropped him a mere ragdoll, yet right as his fingers grazed against the rough ground, he disappeared again! Arukoru grunted in annoyance as the Saiyan prince continued his desperate assault by delivering a sturdy double ax handle to the top of his head! The destroyer god quickly got his revenge by roundhouse kicking Vegeta in the side of his torso, causing him to twist twice over in the air before thudding against the ground.*

Vegeta: *smirks weakly* I have you now, fool!

Arukoru: *looks around skeptically* Clearly, the pain has gotten to your head, Vegeta! *charges a blast* Allow me to assist in jostling your brain back to its senses.

Vegeta: *holds up his right hand, with his thumb raised up* I was planning on saving this technique....for my....next match against....*wheeze* that clown, Kakarot. But *chuckles weakly* you've forced me to unleash it now! Royal Bomber!

*A dull, irritating beeping could be heard piercing through the seriousness of the battlefield. Arukoru whipped his head around in confusion, attempting to locate the origin of this beeping, with a Ki blast in hand to eradicate it. His confusion soon departed....and was swiftly replaced by anger and a sliver of pain. The entire ground around the destroyer god lit up in a dazzling flash of golden Ki, followed by a hailstorm of Ki exploding around him! Arukoru quickly got into a defensive position, with the red fur on his forearms getting caked over in dirt and a minuscule amount of discomfort. That clever Saiyan prince! Every time his fingers touched the ground, he must have planted some kind of explosive Ki that lay dormant until the wielder ignited the attack! That wasn't the end of the destroyer god's suffering, however. No, his own backside and the back of his neck began beeping, and Arukoru's eyes widened in equal parts fascination and horror! Vegeta could implant these explosives onto the terrain...and opponents?!*

Vegeta: *looks on at the chain reaction of explosives with a sneer and simply says* Boom.

*The entire area rattled as the explosions rang throughout! Vegeta couldn't even see his opponent through the thick billowing of smoke, making him believe....he actually did it. Vegeta let out a burst of hearty laughter, filled with pride and unbelievable joy, as he stood up to his feet and held his head high! The sound of the explosions was music to his ears as he stood on trembling legs and clutched his left shoulder. But that satisfaction was misplaced as a soft crackling, which Vegeta almost missed over his own self-gloating, began to swarm within the epicenter. This crackling quickly got louder, and the explosions started shifting into a purplish hue, which made Vegeta's laughter more and more forced, with his celebration freezing over with worry. Then the purple hue took over entirely, and a loud, booming voice shred through the sound of explosions like they were childish firecrackers! Vegeta's eyes widened, and he tilted his head back down as he heard his opponent roar out a maneuver, Twin Infinity Eruption! Immediately, the explosions and smoke were eviscerated by two gigantic purple pillars; that shot up to the heavens! The attack surged with mighty destroyer Ki, which crackled around both vertical beams in the form of purple lightning before both pillars slowly dissipated, and all that remained was a triumphant Arukoru and a weary Vegeta.*

Arukoru: *laughs* Are you finished celebrating over your firework display, Vegeta? *jumps in place to loosen his joints from the explosions* I will say, if I was a weaker deity, those sparklers could have littered my body with wounds and bruises.

Vegeta: *breathes heavily while wiping off a layer of sweat on his forehead* Do you expect me to give up? To admit you're my superior?

Arukoru: *scratches the bottom of his chin with a cheeky grin on his face* While that would be a sizable ego-booster, that's not what I want. *yells* I want this battle to continue! *returns to a normal tone* So allow me to make this fair by giving you the first strike again.

Vegeta: *right eye twitches before he shouts* Are you....are you pitying me?!

Arukoru: *shoulder shrugs* Consider it pity, mocking, or even fair sportsmanship; I don't care. *says confidently* All I care about right now is the pumping of my blood! I haven't had this much excitement in a fight since the last spar with my attendant!

Vegeta: *haughtily sneers* And what does any of that crap mean to me!

Arukoru: *chuckles as he sees right past Vegeta's bravado* It means you're putting on a damn good show, even if little of it has affected me beyond a few beads of sweat and a dull, almost unnoticeable aching. *says in a serious tone while beckoning Vegeta with a "come at me" taunt* Now let us continue! This fight isn't over until you drop dead from exhaustion!

Vegeta: *rushes forward with his Super Saiyan Blue power beginning to falter and dim* I refuse to falter! I won't stop until I see that smug smirk wiped clean off your face!

*END THEME*

https://youtu.be/6D1lizmoQw0

*Vegeta rapidly flashed around Arukoru's line of sight to confound his opponent about where his strike would land before appearing in his opponent's sight with his fist outstretched and flowing with Ki! Seeing the incoming prince, Arukoru smiled and feigned moving backward to avoid the attack before rebounding and slamming his head directly against Vegeta's fist! The collision made a shockwave of power surge throughout the war-torn area! It momentarily lit up the arena in a haze of bright blue Ki energy, with only the glowing outlines of Arukoru and Vegeta being visible through the blue haze. As the blue haze died down, Vegeta gritted his teeth at the harsh impact, and before the prince could go for another attack, a jolt of stinging pain shot across his jawline! Casting his eyes downwards, the prince saw a kneecap resting against the underside of his chin! The assault was quickly followed up by Vegeta feeling his body tumble, courtesy of a swift leg sweep, resulting in him falling back first against the hard ground! Arukoru then finished off his combo by firing a frenzied barrage of Ki attacks to keep Vegeta dazed, leaping upwards, charging two powerful Ki blasts on the bottom of his feet, and then slamming down onto Vegeta's stomach!*

Arukoru: *taps his foot against Vegeta's spider-web fractured armor* Still there, Vegeta? Or is this an issue of the lights being on, but no one is home?

*Instead of a statement filled with either weary defeat or biting sarcasm, Vegeta mustered his remaining power to disappear from Arukoru's vision. The destroyer god merely rolled his eyes as the prince had sadly degraded into a similar rinse 'n repeat pattern of maneuver and fully anticipated a brainless string of hit and run attacks. This underestimation of his opponent's battle tactics became Arukoru's momentary undoing as in his preparation and counterstriking of Vegeta's physical attacks, he left himself wide-open for Ki attacks. And this was a window of opportunity Vegeta had all intention of leaping through. Vegeta continued to "whoose" around the arena to keep confounding his mighty opponent on where he would attack from, all the while charging an attack that would send that pretentious god right off his feet! Finally, after a few more seconds of charging, Vegeta carefully selected where his attack would strike from and let out a tiny chuckle of victory as he slashed the air in front of him with a Ki-laced hand, sending out a wave of Ki in the process!*

Vegeta: *sneers* Never underestimate me, the mighty prince of all Saiyan's!

*Arukoru, not expecting the attack to be Ki-based or to come from behind, had no time to dodge or block the attack! He brunted the full force of Vegeta's wave of Ki energy, causing some of the hairs on his backside to be singed or outright vaporized by the attack! It almost felt like thousands of tiny but effective knives were stabbing into his back! The destroyer god let out a minute grunt followed by an instinctual response of gritting his teeth, the former barely heard beyond the massive "crrsh"ing of Ki against flesh. Despite Vegeta's almost bone-dry reserves, the destroyer god was thoroughly impressed at the faint stinging sensation raging throughout his backside. Arukoru then let out an almost inaudible sigh and charged his backside with destroyer Ki, completely obliterating the attack from the plane of existence! He could have destroyed that attack at any time....but taking that attack was nothing only a show of force but also a penance to himself. Arukoru whirled around to locate Vegeta but saw nothing where his opponent once stood.*

Arukoru: *darts his eyes around the battlefield while getting into a fighting stance* Impressive, Vegeta. You used my own momentarily lapse to put me on the backfoot.

Vegeta: *appears a few feet above Arukoru and attempts to deliver a powerful punt kick to his opponent's face* I'm not done yet!

Arukoru: *easily grabs Vegeta's foot and applies pressure to it, causing the prince to howl with pain and fury* But the key word is "momentarily".

*Arukoru grasped onto Vegeta's foot tightly and then began to swing him around like a mere ragdoll! After a few test swings to assure his opponent wouldn't go prematurely flying, the destroyer god began slamming Vegeta onto the ground below, causing mini craters to emerge all around the immediate vicinity. Each merciless slam brought Vegeta closer and closer to the precipice of unconsciousness. Still, his stubborn ferocity and unbreakable pride kept pushing him to remain awake and strike at any moment of weakness! But he quickly found out his opponent barely had any openings to exploit! Arukoru then hurled Vegeta's hapless body a couple dozen feet into the air, and on his way back down, the destroyer god nailed him with a sinister uppercut! The prince could only gag helplessly as he was sent flying towards the heavens again due to the uppercut. Arukoru then threw a purple Ki blast into the ground below, causing it to glow a menacing dark purple color, before a singular geyser of powerful Ki erupted from the ground and struck Vegeta's entire form! The garbled scream of Vegeta was wholly drowned out by the roaring of Arukoru's Infinity Geyser attack! Once the attack dispersed after a few seconds, Vegeta's body crumbled back down to the ground.*

Vegeta: *reverts back to his base form* Grrrrrghhhhhhh.....

Arukoru: *raises his eyebrow before saying in a calm tone* This battle is over, Vegeta. Whatever chance of victory you might have once possessed has gone flying out the preverbal window.

Vegeta: *mutters to himself, while shakily standing to his feet* W-Who.........*harshly intakes air* who said I was finished?

Arukoru: *gestures at Vegeta's wound-ridden body* Your own body does.

Vegeta: *wipes some rock pieces off his body before getting into a fighting position, albeit a sloppy one due to the pain racking through his body* I won't surrender! *clenches his right hand into a fist* I'll keep shattering past any limitations!

Arukoru: *smirks honorably* So be it, Vegeta. *cracks his neck* Perhaps in the near future, we can fight again.

Vegeta: *looks to say a snide taunt before his expression changes into confusion* Wha.....What do you mean in the near future? *raises his clenched fist up to eye level* We're continuing this fight right now!

Arukoru:*chuckles as within his curled fists, steam and glacial mist began leaking out* Allow me to showcase one final technique before this battle ends. *shouts as he rushes towards Vegeta* Pryo/Cryo Technique: Thirty-Two Open Palm Barrage!

*Arukoru opened his palms until there were completely flat, and his fellow Saiyan opponent couldn't react in time to block, counter, or move out of the incoming attack! All Vegeta could see in the moments before the elemental assault on his body was one palm blazing like the hottest star and the other chilling like the coldest depths of space. With ease, both palms broke past Vegeta's feeble fighting stance and slammed against the sides of his torso. The prince immediately hollowed in pain and felt his arms give way as one side of his body was enraptured by flames while the other hellishly froze over. Neither elemental attack seemed to cancel out the other's effects, which made Vegeta cringe as his entire body was being decimated by the two opposing yet harmonious attacks. Arukoru followed this beginning strike with an aggressive salvo of thirty-one quick open-palmed blows against his opponent's body with surgeon-like precision! Vegeta's face twisted into a pained snarl as the only feeling coursing through his veins was the unadulterated pain of the destroyer god's elemental onslaught! The entire area was solely filled with the roaring of an intense fire, the ghastly wail of a freezing tundra, and the pain-filled screams of a proud Saiyan prince! Finally, the agonizing combo ended when Arukoru laid both hands flat against Vegeta's forehead, which made Vegeta instinctually close his eyes for the finishing blow, and....merely pushed him square onto his back.*

*END THEME*

Vegeta: *eyes snap open* Wh.....Why didn't you finish me off? You ha-----

Arukoru: *completes Vegeta's sentence* had you dead in rights?

Vegeta: *nods slowly, with a frown on his face* So why didn't you? *snaps aggressively* Did you not think I was worth killing?!

Arukoru: *shakes his head* I didn't kill you for two reasons. Firstly, I'm fairly certain Beerus wouldn't be happy if I offed one of his students. *kneels down and transfers some of his energy to Vegeta to aid with the healing process* Secondly, I see you're brimming with untapped potential, Vegeta.

Vegeta: *scoffs* You're damn right! I'm brimming with potential; I'm the prince of all Saiyan's!

Arukoru: *scratches the underside of his nose while grinning* But what is a prince to a god?

Vegeta: *sputters out a few inaudible words before pouting and pulling himself off the ground* Tch.

Arukoru: *walks over and pats Vegeta on the shoulder, causing the latter to wince slightly* Regardless, you did a fantastic job! Second only to Eru, in my opinion! *gives Vegeta a thumbs up with his other hand* I might have to your universe's hell and pick up a Saiyan for myself ha-ha!

Vegeta: *grimaces and shrugs Arukoru's hand off his shoulder* Why is it that every other Saiyan I've met has to be chuckles the goddam clown!

Arukoru: *flicks Vegeta on the nose, causing him to stumble back a few feet* Maybe it's because living a life of constant....whatever your base emotion is will cause you to transpire early?

Vegeta: *growls at Arukoru's response before turning around and hobbling away* Know this destroyer god, I WILL become stronger. *chuckles forebodingly* And one day, I WILL surpass you! And then I, the mighty Vegeta, will officially become the strongest Saiyan in the multiverse!

Arukoru: *begins walking after Vegeta* I'll look forward to that day.

Vegeta: *says in a dismissive tone* You look forward to your own, inevitable defeat? Pah! You're just like Kakarot!

Arukoru: *snickers* A "Kakarot" that beat your ass from pillar to post!

Vegeta: *grumbles inaudibly*

Arukoru: *clasps his hands together and smiles* Now! What's for dinner? That sparring match of ours made me famished!

*The screen fades to black as the duo of Vegeta and Arukoru walk/hobble back to Beerus' Castle, leaving their wartorn battlefield in the dust. Both mighty Saiyan warriors have left this spar with a newfound purpose. Vegeta will continue to grow stronger and blaze his own path to power so one day, he can defeat not only Kakarot but also the looming shadow of Arukoru. Meanwhile, the eponymous destroyer god from Universe 13 now wishes to travel to Universe 7's hell and pick out a Saiyan training partner, so he can relieve the thrill of this battle with the Saiyan prince over and over again! Will Vegeta one day be able to defeat Lord Arukoru? What Saiyan warrior will the destroyer god pick as his training partner/disciple? Will Goku fight against Universe 13's Saiyan powerhouse sometime in the future? Find out all of these answers and more in the next chapter of With Creation, Comes Destruction!*
