Chapter 3 - Stronger?

Clink! Another plate fell on a pile of plates. How many did that make?

50? 100?

200?

Rudeus had no logical way of making sense of the monstrosity he was witnessing right before his eyes. How in the world is that even possible? Though at this point he was starting to question reality, he was also quite close to giving up on that.

Badigadi was the first to give and laugh real loud. "Any more and my stomach will burst. Muah ahahah!"

Goku laughed. "Mine too," he laughed but given the voracity he was devouring all the food of the restaurant, most could tell, he could probably keep going.

Burp! Badigadi chugged a mug of ale and relaxed. "That was a good one."

Goku followed suit. "Yeah. Alright! Let's go fight!"

Badigadi hoisted himself up and was ready to roll.

"You're seriously going to fight in that state?" They had growing bellies like pregnant women. Not as prominent but anyone could tell, they'd overeaten.

"Yes?" Goku and Badi replied in almost synced voices.

Rudeus slapped his forehead. "Suit yourself. Unless I knock the two you of you out, you'll probably keep doing this weird shit. Come on, let's go outside."

"He's finally into it!" Badi pumped four of his hands and laughed out along with Rudeus and Goku. They all moved a bit far from the town, near the border of the city.

Snow everywhere. Their breaths created tiny mist, only to vaporize seconds later. Rather bright day.

"Is it alright if I strike first?" Rudeus said.

"Sure," Goku said.

"Oh, just like that day," Badi laughed.

"Alright," Rudeus said, raising his staff at the sky and focusing. He began to murmur a small chant.

"Wait, he doesn't usually chant," Badi said.

"He doesn't?" Goku looked a tad curious but seconds later his eyes sparkled and a smirk appeared. "HAAH!!!" He started screaming, focusing his ki around his body, circulating it around. A white glow moved around like a wave.

The sky grew darker and darker, some minor thunder. But instead of a storm or rain or even thunder, the darkness coagulated into one spot, forming a black ball and-

CRACK!

Lightning zapped the two on the ground- several times.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Followed by concentrated arsenal of wind blades, followed by more zaps, and more wind blades, water blades, and even ice blades and finally, with one final deafening crack, the black ball itself fell on the ground, nearly crushing everything beneath. Even the people from across the area could feel the sheer pressure of the ball.

The dust cleared. Two smoking bodies emerged. One nearly half blown out, the meat barely hanging on to the bones. The other, somewhat charred but glaring without any malice with that signature smirk. "My turn," he said, instantly teleporting behind Rudeus and giving him a mild chop on the neck.

Darkness. Rudeus's consciousness floated about as he plopped down on the cold snow.

"Huh… I thought he'd be stronger than that?" the man, Goku mumbled.
