(King Yemma's Palace)
The enormous check-in station serving as the registration zone for all those passing through into the afterlife was currently on break as the staff had called in for an early recess. Reason being was the same reason the rest of the universe was on stand-by; the battle between the Z-fighters and the God of Storms, or more appropriately the beat down between Gohan and Set.
At that very moment, every individual ogre currently employed at the station had assembled in King Yemma's office to watch the enormous television he had set up beside his desk. It was here through the excellent reception given to them by their generous service provider, they were able to witness the universal clash between the two God-level warriors. Despite the spiritual bodies struggling to get a good view of the pair due to the ludicrous speed they were traveling at, the crew was still able to acquire some excellent snap shots of some of the battle's key moments. From the moon being used as a battering ram, to the goddess being dragged across the sun's surface, and to the epic tug-of-war match between them, the pair's little skirmish had set the bar high for sheer galaxy busting awesomeness.
Heck, their duel was so monumental that King Yemma was actually taking the time to record the event for posterity. He and his staff had were having a blast watching the whole thing live, and with Baba floating on her crystal ball atop the main desk, the whole conflict was in the running to be one hell of an after party as well.
That was until the pair suddenly vanished using instantaneous movement, taking their battle to a dimension that they couldn't track.
Blinking as the screen drew up nothing but an empty starry sky, Yemma raised an eyebrow and attempted to flip to another channel. Coming up with nothing but a few more shots of lifeless space, the head ogre with the red skin and purple suit growled and slammed a fist into his table. "This is unacceptable! Where the heck did those two go?"
Baba, rolling her eyes, looked back at the man tiredly, "Give them a moment, you old goof. I'm sure they'll pop up eventually."
Murmuring uneasily while a couple of his crew moved over to the television to see if there was something wrong with the reception, the hulking administration officer propped his elbow on his work space and rested his cheek in his palm. "Damn this old satellite television system. Why couldn't they just have the fight in an arena where we can all see it, rather than across the whole damn quadrant? Hell, they could just have their fight right here if it means I get to watch them duke it out."
The short witch floating atop her crystal ball opened her mouth to say something against that, only to be effectively silenced when the skylight to the check-in station imploded and two figures suddenly dropped down from the ceiling. Crashing into the main floor of the building, causing it to shake violently, the two figures then rolled out of the cloud of dust and across the floor, stunning the administration workers.
Leaping to her feet, a bloody-faced Set growled in a very dog-like manner when she saw Gohan do the same on his side of the office. Upon seeing him get to his feet, the woman charged in his direction with the intent to deck him through the wall, only for the glowing red teen to catch her arm and, kicking her feet out from under her, chucked the goddess across the room at full speed. The woman ended up plowing straight through the leg of Yemma's desk, snapping it and toppling the whole table over while she crashed into the far corner of the room. The poor boss ogre yelped in shock and fell off his chair from the violent tremor caused by the deity's crash.
The contents of the large desk scattering across the office, Gohan rushed forward to engage his opponent a second time, only to see her jump out of the hole she'd made in the floorboards and fly straight at him. The half-Saiyan skidded to a stop and head slipped a straight, only to have a left hook slam across his face followed by a push kick that sent him tumbling to the ground.
Stopping on one knee, the teen glared up to see Set sprinting at him again. But just as she was closing in on the bruised teenager, Gohan suddenly grabbed the massive phone from Yemma's desk lying next to him and, with a wide swing, slammed it into the vixen and sent her into the wall. When she hit the barrier, he ran after her with the busted handset and, treating it like a melee weapon, proceeded to slam it into her repeatedly with a comical 'ding' sound echoing out following every hit.
"It's for you!" Gohan shouted, slamming it across the woman one last time and shattering the striking half of the phone.
Immediately after that last blow, the teen readied himself for another. But just as he was aiming to ram it over the fox's head, Set sprang from the ground with a hearty scream of, "Fuck you," and tackled him in the gut, sending them both hurtling across the room and through the wall. After disappearing outside, the entire section of the office they'd barreled through collapsed, leaving a towering pile of plaster and wood lying where a sturdy barrier used to be.
While the staff was completely stunned by what'd happened, a slightly shaken and befuddled Yemma sat up from the floor and looked around in shock. Upon seeing the destruction brought about to his chamber, the man gawked in confusion, "Uh… what just happened?"
Baba, having also been knocked about from the unexpected scuffle, straightened up on top of her crystal ball and looked back at the boss with a scowl, "That would be the God of Storms and her opponent making a quick pit-stop at your palace, sir."
She couldn't have been more right on the mark. Either way, Yemma got his wish of having the fight take place in his office.
Too bad for him it was nothing like he'd expected.

After their brief skirmish through the pocket dimension that served as the crossroads of their teleportation abilities, which led the pair through countless portals and tunnels, the two of them ended up taking an unexpected detour to Otherworld. Of all the places they could've ended up jumping to, it was King Yemma's palace that was the first to receive them. Completely ignoring the fact that they just trashed his office, the duo then wasted no time in taking their fight outside and across the golden clouds making up one of the many natural barriers of the netherworlds, where they proceeded to mercilessly kick each other across the fields at high speed.
More explosions and sonic booms reverberated throughout the infinite skies. Leaving a trail of destruction, mayhem and atmospheric disturbances in their wake, the red and blue figures streaked over the highway known as Snake Way to an open part of the cloud layer. Viciously trading blows, Set then received a solid uppercut to the face, prompting her to power up and leg it, gaining altitude. Gohan went screaming after her retreating form, but just when he was beginning to gain some ground on her, he suddenly saw the woman turn, cup her hands in front of her and, with a quick charge, unleashed a flaming ball of energy in his direction.
Dodging it, the teen watched the sphere streak off into the horizon, where it struck the cloud bank in the distance and caused a colossal, dome-shaped explosion. The shockwaves caused by the red blast were extensive, violently shaking King Yemma's palace in the distance and also distorting Snake Way, thrashing it about like a whip while the yellow ocean of gases and the very foundations of Otherworld were rocked to its very core.
Gritting his teeth at the gargantuan attack, Gohan spun back around to see Set charge at him with a yell. She chucked a fist his way, only for the demi-Saiyan to dodge her and slam a fist across her face. After a quick exchange of blows, the pair then rocketed up into the sky, streaking away from the administration zone of heaven toward a far more exclusive area of space. Not really caring where they were going or what they were running into, the two super powered warriors continued exchanging hits, with Gohan grabbing Set by the hair and beating her face in. While they ascended and the demi-Saiyan buried his knuckles into her mug, the deity's tail suddenly came around and wrapped around his neck, strangling the teen and allowing Set to land punches on him at her leisure.
Managing to catch her fists in mid-swing following several vicious hits, Gohan then kicked her in the stomach, sending her soaring.
Without even realizing it, the pair suddenly ascended into Grand Kai's airspace. The planet, complete with lake, rolling hillsides and palace, came into view from over the horizon of a gaseous giant; a beacon for any and all spirits trying to make their way in the afterlife. Their blows echoing across the sky as they plummeted from it, the pair's exchange became sloppy on the final descent before Gohan caught Set around the waist and slammed her into the ground. The duo landed hard in the middle of one of the planet's sweeping fields with an earsplitting crash, sending dust and debris hurtling into the air.
By some absurdly hilarious chance, the two supercharged warriors had managed to crash right in the middle of the crowd of fighters who'd gathered out on the plains to watch the battle via the Kais' telepathy.
The assortment of dead martial artists from all four corners of the galaxy gathered around the crater. They and the Kais, who'd speedily sprinted over to that area of the field, looked down to see Set straddling Gohan and, in full hoodlum style, was mercilessly pounding the crap out of him.
Loud cracks rang out as the fox woman drove blows into the stunned boy's face over and over again, stopping for a moment to catch her breath before going right back into it with a yell of rage.
While everyone in the area from North to South looked on in shock, with Goku speedily pushing his way to the front to see what was happening, the crowd then saw Gohan come to life and, grabbing the woman's fist, sat up quickly and head butted her. With the deity knocked senseless, the half-Saiyan then used that opportunity to reverse their positions, grabbing her by the arms and slamming her into the floor. The goddess managed to roll them a couple of times until she was on top again, locking his arm up before beginning to throw shots into his body, repeatedly and painfully.
Yelping out with every hit, Gohan attempted to fight his way out, but found he was unable to with her knee digging into his chest. "Damn it! Shit!"
The Grand Kai, a white haired man wearing leather and bearing a striking resemblance to a member from the Rolling Stones, gritted his teeth anxiously as he moved forward, "This is bad."
Goku, who was also watching nervously from the sidelines, then stepped to the edge of the hole and shouted into the center of the two-hundred yard wide crater. "Son! Remember that mud-wrestling show we watched together that one time?!" His shout inadvertently drew several odd looks from the nearby fighters, including his fellow sparring partner and rival Pikkon.
Hearing his dad above the string of blows knocking against his ribs, the teen shouted back, "Yeah! Why?"
"Do you remember what that woman did to the other woman when she was on top of her?!"
Thinking back several years as Set continued burying blows into his liver, Gohan was then struck with a sudden wave of inspiration. "Oh?" Acting on the memories of that amateur event, the teen swiftly wrapped his legs around the vixen's waist and yanked her down, pressing her close to him and preventing her from getting a proper angle to throw any hits.
With Set trapped against his chest, the teen twisted in and buried an elbow into her neck, before then slamming a hook across her face. Rolling them over, the demi-Saiyan quickly got behind the goddess, took her left arm, and stuck her in a lock that had him lying on her back.
From where the dead fighters of Grand Kai's planet could see from their places surrounding the crater, the position the pair had assumed appeared very… indecent. If this weren't a battle to decide the ultimate fate of the universe, at least one of them would've pointed it out.
The grunting and groaning wasn't helping the sight either.
Both growling angrily as they wrestled for dominance, with Gohan beginning to bend his opponent backwards in a very uncomfortable manner, Set's eyes suddenly widened before firing two golden beams from her irises. The attack veered upwards and, performing a perfect aerial loop, honed in and slammed into her adversary's spine. The beams ground into the demi-Saiyan's shoulder blades, drawing a cry of agony from the young warrior and prompting him to release her. This enabled the Dio-jin to slide out from under him and kick him in the stomach, sending him blasting across the fields.
When the teen struck the ground a second later, Gohan slowed his tumble and landed back onto his feet, sliding to a stop and digging two trenches into the ground at the same time.
Looking up with a frown, the demi-Saiyan powered up. His red aura sprang around him before he rocketed towards his opponent like a comet. Set, her own aura bursting up, yelled out as well and rushed in, the pair meeting in the center of the field and colliding with one another elbow first. Their impact sent a blast of wind washing over the planet, a shockwave that nearly knocked every single person in the area off their feet. As soon as they made contact, the pair began hammering each other mercilessly with attacks, shockwaves ringing out as every single punch, elbow, kick and knee was effectively blocked or deflected.
They continued assaulting one another in a blur, until an annoyed Set cocked her fist back and thrust it at her foe. Gohan blocked it with a side guard and, as soon as he pushed it away, went straight back to unleashing a storm of punches upon his adversary. The entire planet literally shook to the core under their light speed blows, an anomaly that knocked several fighters off balance and caused many others to stumble.
After a full minute of assaulting one another and not getting anywhere, Gohan quickly ended the skirmish with a quick head slip, avoiding a hook and countering with a right cross. His blow connected with a deafening 'crack', which he quickly followed up with a left hook, a right hook, and then a hard kick to the stunned vixen's abdominals. His last blow's impact was marked by a shockwave that split the ground and sent Set blasting to the other side of the world to crash into the enormous lake. Everyone in the area was able to see the geyser like splash the woman created.
Gohan on the other hand, as soon as he'd sent his opponent packing, held both his hands forward and unleashed a volley of powerful blue energy blasts from his hands. The attacks streaked through the air and bombed the lake Set had landed in, causing several explosions that evaporated a lot of the water and took a sizable chunk out of the planet. When the attack died down several seconds later, the entire atmosphere behind the assault had become choked up with smog and debris.
But just when it seemed the demi-Saiyan had taken his opponent out, the wall of smoke was then violently blown away when a thicker, blacker column suddenly shot up from the ocean and sliced the veil away. The shadowy mass of dark energy twisted and swirled through the air like a vortex, before stretching high into the atmosphere and spreading out like a phantom. The warriors watching from the sidelines gawked in horror as the necromancer like column of black cloud writhed in the air before them, whereas Gohan simply looked on with his battle-hardened expression in full view.
When the collection of gas reached a height greater than the tallest mountains back on earth, in the very center of the formation at its base, the source of the anomaly Set stepped forward and glared in her opponent's direction. The black aura literally gushing out of every patch of fur on her body, the red-eyed deity snarled angrily before bellowing across at her target. "This battle ends now!" Pulling her hand back, she then threw it forward and launched a wave of black smoke in the demi-Saiyan's direction.
Responding quickly, Gohan powered up and took off into the sky, avoiding the tendril that slammed into the ground and punched a much larger crater into it. When he ascended, the black arms of smoke from his opponent's avatar followed him, but he managed to counter them with a quick volley of blasts, dispelling them and allowing him to boost higher into the atmosphere. After arcing across the skies and reaching the planet's mesosphere, the boy then reversed directions and dove for his opponent at full speed.
Growling at her miss, the frustrated Set then thrust her hands out one after the other, firing two more blasts of smoke that shot towards her foe like spears.
With a quick knife hand and a superman punch, Gohan swatted away the first blast and plowed right into the next one, breaking it up while swiftly advancing on his foe. However, after smashing through the first blast, he was then met with a multitude of attacks as the goddess sent more and more tendrils up at him. The black clouds shot up like spikes one after the other, threatening to impale the demi-Saiyan if he slipped up for even a second.
Set had to bite down hard and use every bit of concentration she had to try and shoot her damn target out of the sky. One after the other her hands thrust upwards, until she got fed up and threw both of them forward and fired several blasts of smoke at the same time. Unfortunately, her efforts proved useless as one after another, she watched Gohan slip around her attacks and dispatch each of them in turn, chopping, kicking and hammer fisting his way through the assault. Even a salvo of a dozen smoke blasts failed to do the trick as the teen cut through them like butter.
With a mighty bellow, she brought her hands down, thrust them upwards, and unleashed a powerful blast of dark clouds from her palms towards her enemy. The column was large enough to swallow the boy whole. But just like with all her attacks, Gohan countered it in spectacular fashion. Forming a golden sphere in his left hand, he slammed it into the approaching wave and burrowed his way through it, screaming all the way down before delivering a solid punch to Set's face. His impact with the woman was marked by a sonic boom as he not only knocked the woman back and dispelled the mass of smoke surrounding her; he buried her straight into the floor.
But he didn't stop there.
The instant the goddess hit the ground, a colossal earth-shaking explosion rocked the entire world as Gohan pushed Set straight through the planet. A geyser of rubble and dust shot into the air on both sides of the celestial body, with a whole sixth of the Kai's home being blown out when the two overpowered warriors shot out of the sphere's mantel and began plummeting towards the lower levels of Otherworld.
All of the dead warriors and guardians of the four quadrants could only gape in shock at what had happened. Even Goku was standing there slack-jawed at the amount of power they were producing.
