Beerus, Chronoa, Whis, and Shin were watching the battle with Cell unfold on Earth, nodding their heads or commenting on what one of the Z Warriors did, such as when Applejack loosed her four Primordial Dragons attack, once more demonstrating her ability to commune with the Earth and ask it for assistance. Cell proved that not even Applejack, who preferred to keep all of her attacks hidden until she determined that it was necessary for them to be used, could stand up to his might, leaving Gohan to be the one to defeat the Bio-Android. That was the beginning of what appeared to be the end of Cell, as the young ascended Super Saiyan managed to turn the tide against the Bio-Android and forced him to cough up one of the Androids he had absorbed earlier, the one known as 18 thanks to what Krillin had said.
Eventually Cell attempted to self destruct and take the planet with him, but Goku took it upon himself to teleport the bloated Bio-Android to a small planet that resembled King Kai's planet and allowed the two of them to die together... but that was when things went sour. Apparently Cell's brain had a nucleus that was his real core, as he rebuilt his perfect form, took on a power that matched Gohan's power, and used Goku's Instant Transmission to head back to Earth, where he instantly blasted Trunks in the chest and killed him before he had the chance to fight back. Vegeta, seeing the future version of his son die in his arms was enough to force him to ascend to the same Super Saiyan 2 form that Gohan was using, but Cell seemed to be much stronger than the empowered Saiyan.
Applejack managed to stop the Bio-Android from killing her and Rainbow's best friend, but the fact that she did so caused Cell to teleport passed her shield and blast a hole in her chest as well... causing Beerus' rage to flare as he watched one of his daughters die, causing Chronoa to wonder what she had to do to calm him down. She remembered what she had done when Rainbow had been killed by Frieza, which was something that she would have done a hundred times to calm the Destroyer God down, but this time she had no idea what to do. Even Shin and Whis seemed lost this time, as they expected Beerus to restrain himself until they saw what happened next in the fight with Cell... which was when watched Rainbow's anger explode.
Chronoa's eyes widened as Rainbow's gi changed from what she had been wearing the entire time, which she had given the girls so long ago, and morphed into the godly attire that Beerus was wearing... even the colors and symbols perfectly matched the attire Beerus was wearing.
"Whis, we need to head to Earth." Beerus stated, pulling himself to his feet a moment later, to which Chronoa noticed that the fury in the god's eyes had been replaced by worry, which concerned her, "We have to get there before something terrible happens to Rainbow."
"Beerus, you know that you cannot visit Earth at the moment," Chronoa said, already fearing the potential effects of the Z Warriors seeing the Destroyer God before the day they were supposed to meet him, because she had no idea what part of the future could change by such a visit occurring, "If one of the Z Warriors spot you, and determine that you are the father of Rainbow and Applejack, it could change a number of events that would happen in the future... and potentially erase some of those events from the timeline completely."
"Chronoa, I love you with every fiber of my being," Beerus replied, though that was when Chronoa noticed that she wasn't looking at the God of Destruction anymore, rather she was now looking at the parental side of Beerus that showed up when something good or bad happened to the girls, "but now isn't the time to be worrying about the timelines and what might happen if one of the Z Warriors sees me. Right now Rainbow is tapping into the power that only a God of Destruction can use, along with certain mortals if we gave them some of our destruction energy, but she's too young to be messing with this sort of power. I honestly don't know how Rainbow managed to tap into this type of energy, much less create an Avatar that mimics my godly attire, but if we don't act soon she'll... she'll..."
Chronoa had never seen this side of Beerus before, as she had always seen the side of Beerus that was always certain about everything, even the things that he knew nothing about. This, however, was a change that she wasn't expecting, because Beerus seemed terrified of the knowledge he had and was unwilling to share it with her, which spoke volumes about what he was trying to prevent.
"Beerus... what exactly will happen to Rainbow if we don't head to Earth?" Chronoa asked, because while she knew that she could simply slip back to the Time Nest and figure things out for herself, which she would have normally done if she wasn't watching over the girls, it was better to let them tell her the truth.
"She's called upon the same energy that Beerus and the other eleven Destroyer Gods use," Whis explained, letting out a sigh in the process, while at the same time calling his staff over to him, "that means that her power will be increased to a degree that's much higher than Cell's, but there's a consequence to her actions. Because she's called upon the energy now, and not ten to twenty years later when she's fully developed, the same energy that will aid her in stopping Cell will ultimately be her downfall. Rainbow's powerful, there's no questioning that fact, but, due to both her age and her teenage body, the energy she's called upon will start to eat away at her... meaning that, if we don't act soon, Rainbow will be erased from existence."
Chronoa felt her heart stall for a moment, because being killed by the destruction energy a Destroy God used meant that the person was erased from existence... and Rainbow had already died once on Namek. Now she understood why Beerus was so keen on getting out of here and heading to Earth, despite the risk it posed to breaking the timelines and ruining the future she had been trying to protect. If Rainbow died to the energy she was using, as Beerus feared would happen to her if they didn't act, then Zeno, the God of Gods, would erase their entire universe for allowing someone from Universe 13 to be permanently killed... on Beerus's watch no less.
Chronoa let out a sigh as she gathered her ki around her and focused on what she was about to do, because despite the fact that she was supposed to protect the timelines, and hated them being altered, this was one of the rare instances where she was willing to break her own rules in such a manner.
"We have between ten to fifteen minutes before the consequences of Rainbow's actions begin to manifest," Chronoa said, causing the others to look over at her for a moment, as they were surprised that she was using her own time powers to aid them in their plan, "If the timeline holds true we should be able to swoop in right after the fighting is over and save Rainbow, so just wait a few minutes and I'll be sure to get us to her before anything happens."
Beerus, despite the worry he felt for Rainbow at the moment, felt so much better now that Chronoa was aware of their fate if they failed and was doing everything in her power to help them save Rainbow. This was how it was supposed to be, both parents helping their children in their time of need, though even he had no idea that Rainbow might manifest the Avatar of Destruction so soon in her life. This was a dangerous stunt they were about to pull, one that could change how their daughters lived their lives in the following years, but it was better than letting Rainbow accidentally erase herself from existence and get the entirety of Universe 7 erased as well.
Beerus let out a sigh as he and the others prepared themselves for their brief visit to Earth, though at the same time he glanced back at the crystal and watched as Rainbow made her move... to which he silently hoped that she didn't go overboard before they arrived.
"So, it appears that Son Gohan wasn't the only one hiding some sort of hidden power," Cell commented, to which he turned and looked at the pony girl that was floating parallel to where he was standing, who had stopped screaming after emerging from the sphere of energy, "I have no idea how you are hiding your energy from me, but I have ways of making sure you show me exactly what you are capable of."
Rainbow glared at Cell as the Bio-Android allowed his tail to emerge from his back, the telltale sign of the fact that he was going to use more of the junior versions of himself, before he spat out a trio of Cell Juniors, all of which contained a small fragment of the immense power Cell commanded. Once the deed was done, and his tail was safely tucked away once more, Cell beckoned to Rainbow and the three miniature versions of himself grinned as they raced towards their target. Rainbow remained where she was floating and didn't take her eyes off of her foe, though when the first Cell Junior appeared and threw it's fist at her, however, she merely raised her hand and stopped the attack before it could hit her body... though as shock appeared on the Junior's face, and Cell's for that matter, Rainbow slammed her other fist into it and destroyed it in an instant.
The second Junior appeared in front of her as the first one dissolved into a cloud of dust, though this one decided to unleash a fury of punches and kicks at Rainbow, who fell into one of her father's favorite attack patterns and used a single finger to block every attack that came her way. She could tell, within the first few seconds of her blocking the barrage that was coming at her, that the Junior she was facing was getting annoyed and picked up the speed of it's attacks, though Rainbow could see all of the attacks well in advance thanks to all of her training. After thirty seconds of putting up with the Junior's attempts to hit her, and growing bored of none of the attacks even coming close to hitting her, she raised her fingers and flicked her opponent in it's forehead... before slamming her fist into it's chest and destroying it as well.
The third Junior attempted something different, as it appeared nearby and started firing ki blasts at Rainbow, intending to cover her in attacks that would wound her and open the path for Cell to finish her off... though when it stopped attacking her, and the smoke cleared, it was revealed that she had taken no damage at all.
"Pathetic. I expected more from you," Rainbow commented, though at the same time she raised her right hand into the air as her left hand moved behind her back, to which she slammed the base of her right hand into the Junior's neck and sent it flying into the ground below them.
The Z Warriors, those that had survived Cell's return, were shocked by what they were seeing, because none of them had expected or even considered that Trunks and Applejack could be slain in battle, yet both of them had been killed by the evil Bio-Android. They had all expected some sort of reaction from Rainbow, as Applejack had been angry when her sister died on Namek, but what they were seeing at the moment was what had happened to a Saiyan when they ascended to a higher level. It appeared that Rainbow might have gone one step forward and become something even greater than the Super Saiyan 2 form that Gohan and Vegeta had unlocked... and it didn't appear that she was even breaking a sweat at the moment.
"I... I cannot believe what I am seeing," Tien said, though as he stared at Rainbow, as he was afraid that if he took his eyes off of her she would disappear and force him to locate her again, he could feel the sweat rolling down the sides of his head, "She's standing up to those Cell Juniors like they're nothing."
"I knew that Rainbow had an anger problem, if Namek was any indication," Krillin added, recalling what he had seen of the pony girl's attitude while they were on Namek, while at the same time remembering what he had said when she and Applejack had their hidden power unlocked by the Grand Elder, "but this is different... and I feel validated in my opinion that they were trained by a god. Not even Gohan, when he was empowered by his rage, was this strong in both speed and strength... and I have the feeling that we haven't seen everything she is capable of yet."
"Still, to be on the safe side, we should have a plan in mind in case she fails to kill Cell," Piccolo commented, to which he glanced over at Gohan, who was staring at the pony girl at the moment, though it also appeared that someone was talking to him in his mind, "and it appears that Goku has the same thought... because I'm sure that he's talking with his son and putting together a plan that they can use if Rainbow doesn't kill Cell."
Before anyone could reply, and comment on what plan Goku could be making, they watched as the third Cell Junior, which hadn't been destroyed in the collision with the ground, burst out of the crater that had been created around it and went flying at it's intended target. As it reached Rainbow's back, where she shouldn't be able to spot it immediately, it raised it's fist and swung at her, though Rainbow turned around and caught the fist in her right hand. A few seconds later she forcefully pulled the Cell Junior in front of her and stared at it, where she found that it was trying to free itself from her grasp... to which she decided to end this part of the fight before she seriously focused on her true opponent.
"You should have fled when you had the chance," Rainbow said, to which she raised her left hand and leveled it with the Junior's chest, though at the same time a dark purple aura surrounded the frame of her body, "Hakai."
The Cell Junior seemed shocked by the fact that it had been stopped in it's tracks, before it could damage Rainbow, but that was before the effects of Rainbow's move took effect. The Cell Junior's eyes widened as it noticed that part of it's left hand was beginning to disintegrate into nothing, as if it's very being was being destroyed. That was quickly followed by the Junior letting out a scream as the pain finally set in, as more than just it's hand was being broken down into a thousand tiny particles... though eventually the entirety of the Junior's body was consumed by Rainbow's attack and there was nothing left of her foe, to which she pulled her hands back and put them behind her back. As she watched the particles that had been the Cell Junior disappear, however, she lowered herself down to the plateau below her and landed on the top of it.
Rainbow had known her father had that sort of technique in his arsenal, and had even seen it once against one of the enemies that had really pissed him off, but she had never expected that it would be so exciting to simply erase something from the universe... to which she glanced over at Cell, who was a little annoyed by her defeating all of the Juniors that he had sent at her.
"Apparently calling upon some additional Cell Juniors was a bad idea," Cell commented, to which he raised his arms into the air and prepared himself, because everything he had seen so far told him that his opponent would make the first move and wanted to be ready for the incoming attack.
A few seconds passed without either one of the two combatants doing anything, causing the watchers to wonder what they were doing, before Cell grew tired of nothing happening and took the initiative to start the battle, to which he flew towards his opponent and threw his fist at Rainbow. A few seconds later Rainbow rolled her body back and grabbed Cell's fist with her left hand, though the collision of their powers flattened the level of the plateau they were standing on, much to the surprise of everyone else. Cell, on the other hand, pulled his fist free and started throwing both punches and kicks at Rainbow, who simply moved into the air and dodged the attacks that were coming her way. After some time dodging the attacks, and making her opponent mad in the process, Rainbow decided that it was time to play with Cell for a bit, to which she stopped dodging the attacks and started blocking them with her arms.
A few moments later she purposely let an attack slip by her defense and slam into her face, pushing her back just a bit, though Cell remained where he was standing with a smile on his face.
"How do you like that?" Cell asked, taking a moment to flex his arms, as if he couldn't believe the power he now commanded, while at the same time not even showing a hint of fear towards his opponent, despite the fact that she had erased one of his Junior's from existence, "You may have gotten stronger, just like everyone else I have fought so far, but it seems that your power up is only good for increasing your defense."
"Is this really your full power?" Rainbow commented, to which she pulled her head back and looked at Cell, revealing that the punch he had thrown at her had done absolutely nothing to her, "I expected so much more from the person who made Son Goku sacrifice himself and who killed both Trunks and Applejack... though speaking of which, it's time I made you pay for what you did to my sister!"
Cell barely had any time to react as Rainbow raced through the air and slammed her right fist into his chest, stunning him for a moment due to the speed and power she truly possessed, before she spun around and planting the side of her right hoof against the side of his head, sending him flying into the plateau they had been standing on moments ago. A cloud of dust erupted from where Cell landed, though the Bio-Android would not take this lying down, as he burst out of the crater that had formed around him and flew back at his target. Rainbow caught the attack that was coming at her and replied in kind, where she slammed her fist into Cell's chest twice, hitting him in both the upper and lower areas of his chest, before throwing Cell backwards.
Cell regained his footing and floated back up to where Rainbow was floating, though at the same time he waited before making his move, because despite the power that was coursing though his veins he was beginning to wonder if he was completely outmatched.
Rainbow raced forward and swung her right elbow at Cell's head, where he blocked her with his arm, though instead of doing something else she repeated the attack three more times before she broke his defenses, where the fifth attack stunned Cell. As Cell started to regain himself, and attempted to pull back, Rainbow went on the offensive and started slamming her fists into the Bio-Android's chest, barely giving him any time to defend himself before she kicked him in the back of the head and sent him right back into the plateau that she had sent him to a few moments ago. This time, instead of allowing her opponent a short pause to rest, Rainbow raced down towards the plateau and immediately found her target... to which she spun around and kicked Cell in the chest, sending him flying into the ground near where the Z Warriors were standing.
As she landed on the ground Cell, apparently sensing that a direct battle wasn't in his best interests at the moment, jumped out of the hole that had been created around him and landed parallel to where Rainbow was standing... though that was soon followed by him bringing his hands together, in the style that his opponent used so she could create her ultimate attack.
"Is Cell being serious?" Krillin asked, watching the Bio-Android gather his energy into the creation of a Lightning Lance, which he had stolen from Rainbow and knew how to use to it's full potential, "Rainbow's not going to let him use her own technique against her... right?"
"It appears that she's willing to let him use it," Piccolo commented, though at the same time he sweat a little, because while he was confident that the pony girl could stop the attack he had no idea how powerful Cell was going to make the attack, "either her new form makes her so powerful that she doesn't have to worry about the lance anymore... or she's being arrogant with her new power and thinks that she can take her own attack head on."
Krillin had no idea what was going through Rainbow's mind at the moment, except for the complete destruction of Cell, but as he considered what they should do he noticed that, despite everything that had happened, Vegeta remained where he had landed and was watching the fight. He had no idea if Vegeta was planning on loosing his own attack after Rainbow dealt with Cell's attempt at copying her attack, though he didn't appear to be gathering his ki for anything. Vegeta knew more about the two pony girls than anyone else, which meant that he would know what to do if such an opening presented itself... though, as Krillin thought about attacking when Cell was vulnerable, he also noticed that Gohan was still oddly silent and, more importantly, his ki was slowly gathering around him.
Krillin was thankful that Cell was preoccupied with fighting Rainbow at the moment, because that meant that whatever Gohan was planning would be able to be completed without the preparation being interrupted... though his thoughts were interrupted as the Bio-Android pulled his hands apart and created his version of the Lightning Lance.
"Rainbow Dash, this is the Perfect Lightning Lance," Cell said, though at the same time he pulled his arm back and prepared himself, while noticing that Rainbow didn't seem impressed by him perfectly replicating her attack, "this attack, the same one that you created, will be the end of you... and then I will destroy the Earth, as I promised the citizens of this pitiful planet."
Once the last word left Cell's mouth, and allowed the Z Warriors to understand what the Bio-Android was planning, he grinned for a moment as he swung his arm and sent the lance flying towards where Rainbow was standing, breaking the ground around them in the process. Rainbow, instead of moving out of the way, simply held her hand up and stopped the lance the instant it reached where she was standing, though instead of being pushed backwards she remained still as Cell's energy pushed against her. She frowned as she felt the energy for a few seconds, as she expected Cell's attack to be much stronger than this, before she swung her arm around and reined in the lance, to which the coloration shifted from the eerie green to the dark purple that was the new color of her aura... though at the same time she made it look like she was a warrior of some kind.
The fact that she took control of Cell's lance, however, made both Cell and the Z Warriors stare at her in shock, though at the same time it made them wonder what she was going to do with it.
"Did you honestly believe that you could get away with using my own technique against me?" Rainbow asked, though at the same time the lance unraveled and became energy, which swirled around her right arm as she stared at Cell, "That was a decent attempt, but I will put this energy to a better use than you ever could."
Before Cell could say anything, or even defend himself, Rainbow flashed into the area directly behind him and raised her right hand to his back, to which she released the energy she had taken from her opponent and blasted Cell with the power of his own ki. The resulting explosion cost Cell the lower half of his body and both of his hands, though as his ruined body crashed on the ground Rainbow remained where she was standing. It was clear that she could overpower Cell and that this fight was going to end the moment she was done playing around with him, but she wanted to see if he was tapped out before making her move.
"I... I won't be... defeated by someone... like you!" Cell commented, to which he regenerated the missing parts of his body and jumped out of the hole he was in, though he made sure to remain parallel to Rainbow while he brought his hands together by the right side of his body, "Ka... me... ha... me..."
Rainbow smiled as she glanced back at the person that was standing behind her, because she had, accidentally she mentally added, landed in the area that would have put Gohan behind her, though at the same time she was happy to see that the young Saiyan was preparing his own attack. Cell must not have noticed the ki that had been gathering around Gohan, no doubt thanks to her fighting him the entire time, but his anger seemed to be preventing him from noticing the danger he was in. Rainbow considered appearing behind Cell and just destroying him, like she had done to the Cell Junior earlier, but she decided that letting the young Saiyan finish off the Bio-Android would be the perfect ending... especially when she could slip behind and ruin Cell's attack while he was distracted.
A few seconds later, as the ground beneath her hooves started shaking, she turned her attention back to Cell and grinned, because soon the fight would be over... and she was sure that Cell would be completely destroyed in the process, so long as she prevented the Bio-Android from seeing what was behind her.
Father, are you sure that I can beat Cell with my current power? Gohan mentally asked his father, while at the same time he was thankful that King Kai was helping them out, as the two of them had formed a plan of attack the moment they noticed that Cell was still alive.
On your own all you would do is equal Cell's power and create a stalemate with him, Goku replied, though at the same time his tone indicated that there was something more that he hadn't told his son yet, which lifted Gohan's spirits as he determined that there was more to their plan, however, with the power that we can lend to you... well, let's just say that Cell will regret everything he's done by the time we're finished with him.
Who are you referring to? Gohan inquired, knowing that King Kai wouldn't aid them his power, despite the ability to communicate with each other, so he had to wonder who his father was talking about.
He's referring to us. a new set of voices said, though a few seconds later Gohan was able to pick out the voices of both of his grandparents and his father's brother, where he could determine that it was Bardock talking at the moment, This won't be a 'father-son' Kamehameha... rather this will be the four of us lending you our power, so you can fully empower your attack and obliterate Cell.
Okay. Gohan mentally replied, though at the same he brought his hands together and prepared himself, to which his ki flickered and caused his aura to swirl around him, "Ka... me... ha... me..."
"Rainbow Dash! It is time that you joined your sister in Hell!" Cell shouted, though at the same time he leveled his hands with where Rainbow was standing and sent the energy he had been gathering at where his opponent was standing, while causing the Z Warriors to back away from where they were fighting.
"HAAAAA!" Gohan shouted in turn, to which he also leveled his hands with where Rainbow was standing and silently hoped that the pony girl moved out of the way before she was hit by either of their attacks.
Rainbow smiled as she leapt into the air and moved over to the side of the ruined plateau she had thrown Cell into earlier, where she had a front row seat to the collision of the two Kamehamehas, which created a decent sized crater around them. It was clear that the two of them were almost evenly matched, as the center of their attacks happened to be in the middle of the crater they had created, though at the same time anyone could see that Gohan was at a slight disadvantage, as Cell was at full power and Gohan was exhausted from all of the fighting he had done. Still it appeared that the young Saiyan had some sort of plan in mind, otherwise he would have let Rainbow deal with Cell and step away from the fight.
As she watched the two attacks Rainbow noticed that the force of the wind pushed Mr. Satan and his group far away from the fight, while leaving them close enough for them to see the end of the fight, before she turned back and waited for an opening to reveal itself. After a few moments it was clear that Cell was starting to overpower Gohan, as his attack was pushing Gohan's back, but apparently Gohan had been expecting that and reached for the power he had been keeping hidden, where he pushed Cell back until they were equal again. The two fighters continued to push against each other, tearing open the ground around them in the process, but for the most part it appeared that neither of them could gain the upper hand at the moment.
That was, however, until the Z Warriors flew into the area behind Cell, where they positioned themselves in the area around him, where they wouldn't be harmed by Gohan's attack, and fired their own ki beams at Cell's back, indicating that they were trying to distract him at the moment. A few seconds later, as the Bio-Android opened his wings to push them back, Vegeta landed beside Gohan, in his Super Saiyan 2 form, and brought his own hands together, because now was the time when everyone should be banding together to defeat their opponent.
"Cell! This is for everyone that you have killed since your creation!" Vegeta shouted, allowing his ki to flare all around his body as a sphere of energy formed between his hands, while at the same time knowing that Gohan had some sort of plan in mind, "Galick Gun... FIRE!"
Gohan watched as Vegeta's attack swirled around his own and added the older Saiyan's power to his own, to which they pushed Cell's attack back once more, though he was beginning to think that Rainbow might be the only one that could defeat the Bio-Android at this point. Just as Gohan was about to shout at the pony girl, and see if there was anything she could do to help them, Rainbow raised her hand and loosed a sphere of ki energy at her target, where she blasted a section of Cell's right arm off and weakened his Kamehameha for the briefest of moments before he even considered regenerating it... though that moment was all Gohan needed.
"NOW!" Gohan shouted, both verbally and mentally, to which he, his father, his grandparents, his uncle, and Vegeta called forth their maximum power and sent it flying at Cell's attack.
Cell watched as his attack was pushed backwards by the power that his enemies were using against him, where surprise crossed his face as the excess energy started flowing passed him. He couldn't believe that, after obtaining a truly perfect form and the ultimate power, the Saiyans he was fighting still had this much power, while also using Rainbow's mysterious power to their advantage. As he regenerated his missing arm he focused on stopping the attack from overwhelming him, though as he struggled against the energy he noticed that his own attack was still being pushed back towards him. A few seconds passed before the combined power of Gohan and Vegeta, and whoever was aiding them, surged passed Cell, completely enveloped him and started tearing through his own defenses... to which Cell started to scream as his body started to disintegrate before his eyes.
The last thought that crossed his mind was how he could have lost with his perfect form and his new ultimate power... though that was before his body broke apart under the intensity of the power that was surging through his body.
Gohan huffed for a few seconds as the combined energy went flying into space, where it wouldn't hurt anyone and would dissipate before it hit anything else, before he and the others lowered their hands. He was surprised that they had managed to finish off the Bio-Android, because he was certain that Rainbow would have been the one to finish him off, though at the same time he smiled as he finally powered down to his normal form. The others lowered their hands as well, as they were glad that the fight was over, though as the majority of them flew over to him and Vegeta, however, Gohan collapsed on the ground... or would have if the older Saiyan hadn't caught him.
"Th... thanks..." Gohan said, feeling more tired than he had when he and his father had been training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, though at the same time he suspected that his family in Asgard was proud of him and the others.
"You're welcome," Vegeta replied, though as he said that he looked passed the rest of his friends, who were moving their way so they could check on the sleeping Android and the body of the future version of his son, and locked his gaze on Rainbow and her new attire, "She looks so much like her father..."
Before Vegeta could complete the thought, and say how much Rainbow resembled Lord Beerus with both her attire and the power she was wielding, Rainbow fell to one knee and raised a hand to her chest, almost as if something was wrong with her body. Vegeta could immediately tell that there was something wrong, because Rainbow's ki was violently shaking, similar to what happened when Gohan ascended to the Super Saiyan 2 form, only this time it seemed like the power that Rainbow had been using was threatening to tear her apart. As he attempted to get up, however, he noticed a light in the sky, which wasn't the sun, that rapidly raced down towards where Rainbow was standing... though as it hit the ground he noticed a barrier surrounding his friend as his mind went still for a moment.
Beerus glanced around the area that existed around the barrier that surrounded him and the others, where he was thankful for the fact that Whis and Shin were protecting them with their abilities, as Whis had created the barrier and Shin had picked up the dust that was surrounding the barrier. In truth the barrier and the dust storm were just a precaution, as Chronoa had the difficult task of pausing time around the barrier until they were done with what they had come to do, though she took it a step further and was pausing the entirety of the Earth. He knew that his beloved Chronoa was very old and very powerful, as he was the same way, but the last time she had used this much of her power was seventy-five million years ago... back when she battled Demigra and ascended to being the Supreme Kai of Time. In the unlikely event that Chronoa couldn't keep everything locked down, however, Whis and Shin had devised this back up method to prevent themselves from being seen.
He knew that Chronoa could hold the Time Lock, which was her name for the technique she was using, for as long as she could, but keeping an entire planet in stasis, as well as Rainbow so she wouldn't know what had happened, was taxing to her power... which is why she told them that they needed to be fast before someone else noticed that something was wrong with Earth.
Beerus sighed as he looked at the frozen form of Rainbow, wishing that he could simply visit her and try to help her come to terms with what was happening to her, but he also knew that he needed to act fast before the effects of her actions fully came to light. He could already see the tendrils of the Destruction energy trying to seep into Rainbow's body, to empower her until she accidentally destroyed herself, though a few seconds later he held up a hand and placed it on his daughter's chest. The energy was slow to respond to his touch, but after waiting for a moment Beerus was pleased to see that the energy was beginning to pull itself away from Rainbow and return to the god that was supposed to be using it at the moment.
Beerus knew that if Rainbow had dragged her fight with Cell on for much longer she would have been in incredible pain, as the Destruction energy would have started to eat away at her body by that point. At the moment there was nothing wrong with his daughter's body and he was sure that one of those Senzu Beans would restore her back to normal in a matter of seconds, but she would remember this fight and the power she had wielded. Beerus silently hoped that Rainbow would stay away from this form, the Avatar of Destruction, because she wasn't ready for such a thing, though he knew that only time would tell. Besides, if they did this stunt more than once or twice he was sure that someone would notice that something was up, so it was best that Rainbow refrained from attempting this until she was ready... which was why Chronoa was going to talk with her once she recovered from her ordeal.
A few seconds later Beerus let out a sigh of relief as he pulled the last ounce of Destruction energy out of Rainbow's body, to which he noticed that her attire had returned to the gi she had been wearing before the transformation, and Applejack's death, had even occurred.
"Thank Zeno that we made it in time," Beerus said, to which he glanced at the sphere of energy that had he had removed from his daughter's body, where he glanced over at his friends, "Hey Whis, do you think you can contain this until we get back to my planet? I want to turn it into a cluster of little fireworks, like the ones Rainbow and Applejack saw... though I can carry it if you can't."
"I should be able to now that we won't have to worry about the barrier," Whis commented, to which he and Shin dropped the protective shielding they had created, where he turned towards Beerus and wrapped his own energy around the sphere, "though we should get going before King Kai notices that we were even here."
Chronoa, who was busy keeping the Earth in a Time Lock, already knew that King Kai, as well as some of the Saiyans in Asgard, had already noticed that the planet had stopped in its tracks for a few minutes. There was no stopping them from knowing that she and the others might have come to the planet and didn't want to be found out, but it was well worth the risk considering that they had saved Rainbow's life. She was also sure that Beerus' idea of 'fireworks' meant that they were going to celebrate the defeat of Cell once they returned to the house that had been built so they could view the events that Rainbow and Applejack went through... though she smiled for a moment as she tied her Time Lock to break when she next snapped her fingers.
"I'm all finished here," Chronoa said, to which she turned towards the others and walked over to where Whis was standing, though she noticed that Beerus was the last one to walk over to the Angel.
"Rainbow..." Beerus softly said, though he wrapped his arms around his daughter, who was frozen in time and wouldn't even know he was there, but once a few seconds passed he forced himself to pull back, "I know you likely can't hear me at the moment, but I just want to say that I am proud of both you and Applejack..."
Chronoa knew that Beerus wanted to say more, and even tell them to forget the prophecy so they could spend time on Earth like a real family, but she was impressed that the Destroyer God could see that letting Rainbow and Applejack live their lives out, without them constantly interfering, was the right thing to do. Beerus let out one last sigh as he walker over to Whis and nodded, to which Whis raised his staff into the air and surrounded them in the bubble they had used to get here. As they floated into the air, and left the planet behind, Chronoa let out her own sigh as she snapped her fingers and let the events below them continue... to which the four of them disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.
Vegeta blinked for a moment, because he could have sworn that something happened a few seconds ago, but he couldn't determine what that something was. One thing that was odd was that a few seconds ago Rainbow had appeared to be in pain, and was dressed up in an attire that matched her father's attire, though now it appeared that her own transformation had expired and she had returned to normal. Granted she was now lying on the ground, and was still breathing by the movements he noticed, though he was sure that something was wrong with the picture. Even the light he had seen earlier was gone, which told him that one of the Kais might have come down to check on Rainbow and had done something to their memory to prevent them from knowing that they were here to begin with.
Piccolo came over to check on Gohan, freeing Vegeta to fly over to the sleeping form of his friend, to which he gently picked her up and moved over to where Applejack was resting. Now that Cell was defeated he knew that they would be heading back to the Lookout and use the Dragon Balls that Goku had gathered, to which he determined that the girls would be reunited within a few minutes. Vegeta let out a sigh of relief as he and the others moved out of the area where Cell had set up his arena, because now the population of the world could be restored and they could rebuild... without having to worry about Cell returning to cause them harm.
