A Thunderstorm…

(3rd Person Pov)

Sounds of punches and kicks echoed around the silent planet Beerus as Jin Mori was busy practicing the Renewal Taekwondo. He went through all the moveset over and over again for tens of thousands of repetition. He exhaled slowly as he went on his daily run around the planet after finishing his daily practice.

After finishing his daily run, a beam of light appeared and out of it came Beerus and Whis. Mori took notice of Beerus's irritation and decided it was better to remain silent as he spoke.

"Welcome back Lord Beerus, Whis. I had just finished my workout for the day, and was about to go off for my post workout meditation session. Is there anything either of you may want from me before I start my meditation?"

Beerus took a look at Mori before he spoke.

"Actually. It seems like I do have something I want from you. Get into your fighting stance, I want to see how much you've improved over the past week that you've been staying here."

Mori looked surprised by Beerus's word's, but he nodded his head and immediately got into the basic stance for Renewal Taekwondo. His hands rested behind his back as he watched Mori without moving an inch.

Mori's eyes narrowed before his Irises turned red as his golden crossed pupils locked onto Beerus's indifferent face.

'Renewal Taekwondo: Bo Bup'

It's a technique that allow the user to appear behind, next to, above, etc. their opponent instantaneously. And Mori appeared directly in front of Beerus as the two pairs of eyes met.

'Renewal Taekwondo: Lowest Hwechook'

It's a technique that compensates for Hwechook's primarily middle-upper body targeting which made it predictable. This move is usually performed to dodge an opponents attack at the upper body by ducking to the ground. Using this force the user does an 180 degree spin sweep kick that is parallel to the ground aimed at the opponent's feet. It can be used to link to the Dragon catcher Technique.

However without even looking, Beerus's body moved on it's own as if guided only by his instincts. Mori immediately took advantage of Beerus being in the air as he used another technique.

'Baek Nok'

A type of push kick, an upward kick which uses the bottom of the foot as the striking surface. This time, instead of dodging, Beerus raised his arm to block the kick. His eyes widened slightly upon the kick connecting as he was pushed backwards no further than an inch from where he originally stood. Mori jumped on that small window of surprise to throw a lightning fast jab towards Beerus's abdomen due to Mori's own short height not allowing him to strike Beerus in the face.

There was his crotch, but fortunately, Mori doesn't have a death wish. Then, when Mori blinked, his vision had instantly darkened for a second before he regained consciousness and his body felt agonising amounts of pain.

(*Blergh*)

Mori threw up blood. But without allowing him even a second to rest, the bloid that had spilt had immediately began disintegrating under the heat of a ki blast sent his way as he quickly raised his arms to protect himself.

(Boom!)

The mountain on where Mori had crashed on belonged to one of the many moons floating around Beerus's planet and said mountain was now nothing but ash and dust. But miraculously, on the scorched ground of where the mountain once was, laid the figure of a seemingly unconscious boy.

Beerus and Whis watched in silence at Mori's unconscious or dead body that was littered with scorched flesh, as steam rose all across his body. After a few minutes of no movement, Whis spoke.

"Don't you think you were too rough on the boy?"

Beerus said nothing as he turned around and began walking away as he answered Whis's question.

"I was just curious about the boy's potential. You said it yourself that he is someone with seemingly infinite talent and potential. I had high hopes for the boy. But if he cant even survive that much, how can he be considered my riv-"

Beerus paused in his steps as his ears twitched slightly. He looked back at the scorched moon mountain where Mori was as he saw that somehow, the boy's fingers were twitching slightly. Beerus looked surprised as he commented.

"Colour me surprise, your still alive?"

But Beerus got no reply as Mori slowly started to get up. Thunder crackled all around planet Beerus as both Whis and Beerus watched intrigued. Once Mori finally stood up, they witnessed his charred flesh smoking. The stench of his sizzling flesh disgusted Beerus, but he ignored it in favour of his curiosity wondering just what is about to happen.

Then they both saw him mouth the words.

"Strike down Geundoowun"

And immediately it began raining divine bolts of Thunder upon Beerus who looked amazed at the massive storm cloud. With a grin on his face, he casually deflected the bolt of thunder without any struggle before his eyes now met Jin Mori's crimson orbs once again. Behind Jin Mori, was the destroyed moon that orbited Beerus's planet. Now, Jin Mori was no longer fighting with the techniques he trained with before. Right now, he threw a punch with nothing but pure strength fueled by his anger.

(Boom!)

Each punch was blocked by Beerus's palm with relative ease, but the longer he blocked, the faster and stronger Mori's own attacks became.

(Boom! Boom! Boom!)

His body had begun using Mori's god Ki to help heal his scarred body using Whis's healing technique as a reference.

"Aghhhhh!!!!"

Jin Mori screamed at the top of his lungs as his fiery aura erupted with faint motes of pink alongside his hair raising slightly and also faintly turning rose pink as well. And thanks to the massive Zenkai he had gotten from his near death experience, Beerus had now begun being pushed back further and further with every attack caused by Mori as his grin never left his face even as he spoke.

"I'll admit, I had underestimated you. Just moments ago, it took all your effort to even make me budge an inch, and now your beginning to grow stronger every second. I'm now thoroughly convinced that the oracles words weren't false. You truly do have the capability of becoming my future rival."

Mori threw another powerful punch that was caught by Beerus, but the air pressure was strong enough to form a massive crater where the two stood as Beerus spoke.

"Alright, that is enough. I have a long sleep to catch up with. So before I end this little tantrum of yours, allow me to show you the power of the God Of Destruction."

A purplish aura began surrounding Beerus causing Jin Mori to retreat because his insticts roared at him that he was in danger. And then, an orb of purplish black destructive energy formed in Beerus's palm as he spoke.

"This power you see now boy, is the Power Of Destruction."

Mori's eyes studied the orb for a few seconds before Beerus dismissed it, and then, Mori's world went black. Beerus held the naked boy by his wrist as he lazily threw him at Whis and spoke.

"Wake me up when you deem him ready to fight me for my position as the destroyer of universe seven."

Whis bowed as he spoke.

"As you wish my lord. However, if I may ask do you wish to cancel your orders to Frieza asking him to destroy planet Vegeta? After all, I do believe that even if he doesn't care for the rest of the Saiyans, he does care deeply for his mother and Prince Vegeta."

Beerus shook his head as he spoke.

"Just dont tell him. I only care about this boy specifically, not of any other saiyan. If he ever learns about it, just push all the blame onto Frieza."

Whis nodded his head as Beerus flew away to his temple leaving Whis to clean up the aftermath of the fight between the two.

-(Scene Break)-

Whis walked alongside the path to the planet's ocean where he bore witness Jin Mori still training himself halfway to death. After he learned how to heal himself, Mori wasted no time in beginning what Whis could only say is a training meant for masochists.

Day in and day out over the past several weeks has just been the boy training his body to the absolute limits with him constantly having Whis make the weighted suit he wears ten times it's current weight every few minutes the boy could afford pushing himself so hard because his Ki reserves were twice as large as the current God Of Destruction himself.

Whis watched as the boy collapsed under the increased weight before slowly getting himself back up again and beginning to throw punches and kicks according with the proper way to practice the technique he used against Lord Beerus during the early stages of their fight.

Whis continued watching over the course of several hours before Jin Mori finally stopped before sitting cross legged and beggining his meditation. He approached Jin Mori as he questioned curiously.

"Are you perhaps angry at Lord Beerus for what he did to you?"

Mori sighed as he opened his eyes and answered.

"That's only part of the reason. I'm just frustrated at how weak I am."

Whis said nothing as Mori continued.

"I felt it. Even if temporary, my anger had almost awakened a new power, but I didnt give in completely to it thus I didn't achieve any new power boost."

Whis hummed as he spoke.

"That's quite alright. Losing is normal after all. Even Lord Beerus has lost to other beings before he became the God Of Destruction."

Mori rolled his eyes as he spoke.

"That's obvious. No one is born the strongest after all. To reach the status of the strongest with or without training requires immense hard work. Many tend to see your strength first, and not all the hours, the years that it took you to achieve said level of strength."

"That's good. You are aware that not everyone is born with the power you see them wielding. That's good. Honestly though, for a boy no older than four, your quite wise."

Mori just nodded his head as Whis continued.

"One's mentality is also an important factor to their growth. How they take loss is usually an indicator for how far they will grow in the future. And your way of taking it isn't good either. To train yourself for weeks on end and abuse your newfound healing abilities wont do you much. Your still a child. One with a potential that far outclasses even Lord Beerus. Give it time, take it slow. If you wish I continue training you, then you will rest for the next several days am I understood?"

Mori sighed and nodded his head as Whis nodded his head glad that he is listening. As Mori collapsed onto the ground, he questioned Whis.

"If you don't mind me asking. What exactly happened that day that got Lord Beerus so mad? I definitely know that it has something to do with king Vegeta. So mind sharing it?"

Whis shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.

It's not really that interesting, but if you truly wish to know, I dont mind telling it to you."

And so over the next few hours, the two indulged in stories. Mostly of Whis and Beerus's experience before Mori drifted off to sleep finally allowing himself proper rest.
