the dome: a battleground for the gods!

Quote from TrueJester3 >>

Quote from Baalzeboop >>

 "I tried getting a private investigator, but theres nothing to find. The man is openly a criminal, and he's ruthless. The only thing I can think of to hurt him would force me to use his own tactics against him. Spreading fear instead of hope, mistrust instead of faith, hatred instead of love. He wants to stop evil people, just like I do, but he wants to torture and kill them. Drug them into submission and... and..." tears begin to run down his face. "He's in so much pain. He's so angry and unloved. I just want to hold him and never let go."

 Goku takes a deep breath, shaking his head "There is good in him, that's obvious enough. If you beat him you can show him the mercy he deserves, that's what Android 8 would want. Mercy is the only thing you can give that truly matters." He begins to stretch, his muscles growing looser "Never stoop to his level, be the hero the people know you are, and Prospero, stand strong." 

 He sighs and nods. "I beat him once. Knocked out his bodyguards and grabbed him. He told me... that the seed was already planted in our society. That it would bloom into full-blown riots and mass casualties without him to nurture it. People need their spices, he says, and they'll do anything to get it. I can't lock him in jail, since they'd arrest me too and he'd be out in a day. I can't kill him, because how could I? I felt bad enough knocking him out. I showed him mercy, and all that changed was he upped the doses he was taking. Now he's so fast it's like he's everywhere at once. But change doesn't happen in a day. Maybe if I show him enough mercy, he'll see that he can show mercy too."

"The man scares me. People have done such terrible things to him, and he can't even consider the idea that they deserve love too. He's always on spices, so he isn't even thinking straight most of the time. I tried keeping him in my basement so that the spices would wear off while he was in a safe place... but he just... screamed. The pain, the grief, the hatred, the despair... they're worse than the spices. I'm so scared of him, Goku." He begins to cry.

 “Oh I’ll fight. Just not yet. I don’t wanna waste my time on a weak opponent, so I need to either hear some of your impressive feats, or see you in action myself.”

”I don’t know what that means, but I’m not surprised I got it, since it’s a direct copy of your dna.”

 He sits back down on the rock, his eyes growing shadowed over by terrible memories "The Eclipse. I killed all of them during the Eclipse. No demon survived, except one."

 "It doesn't matter what it means, other than you can make fire and control it."

 “And how many demons would that be? Are they strong? How strong? Like hard for the average human, stuff like that.”

”Cool I guess. So are you gonna teach me how to use them?”

 "I didn't count, I just chopped and chopped and chopped..." Kenpachi can hear his voice going more frantic and enraged as he goes down a rabbit hole.

 "Why would I teach you how to use them? You're perfect right? You should learn fast."

 “Huh. Sounds kinda depressing.”

”I told you that’s a misnomer.”

 Goku begins to hug him silent, just being there for them, not saying anything, because nothing needs to be said. He just is there for them, to comfort them, rubbing their back.

 He begins to grip his sword so tightly the hilt soaks with his blood "GRIFFITH!! GRIFFITH!!"

 "Yeah but it's close enough to being true, I'm not nearly as close to perfection as you and I figured it out."

 Eventually, after a while, he does calm back down.

 “Nah I’ll teach you. How hot can you make the flames without burning yourself?”

”Pretty hot I would think.”

*Cut*

 Guts looks to them, taking a deep breath “I am fine. Do you want to fight or not? If not then stop wasting my time.”

 “You realize pretty hot Isn’t a measurement, can you at least give me a color?”

He sets himself on fire, where it’s mostly yellow, but the flames closer to him are blueish

 Benimaru almost looks surprised for a moment “Blue. That’s pretty impressive. Okay, fire manipulation is about accuracy.”

 Guts doesn’t stop him, taking off his helm, revealing his scarred face, placing the helm next to him.

 “How about I show you.” He traces the line of a full moon in the air, flames on his fingers. Nothing seems to happen as the flames disappear, until the wall shows the exact same tracing, superheated air slamming against the wall, making the full moon visage.
