Who Are You?

Ian looked at himself through the clear liquid flowing in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

"I really am him," he said, emotionally. "I really am Gogeta!"

The reflection staring back at him was that of a bare chested, well built, black spiky haired man wearing a blue vest, black baggy pants, black boots and a thick strip of clothe around his waist. He could also see a brown tail swooshing carefree from his waist. Surprisingly, it did not feel weird at all.

"I AM GOGETA!" Ian shouted, his voice producing shockwaves that decimated the landscape before him, making him close his mouth quickly.

"Wow, to have so much power that I have to make sure my voice alone does not kill any one, it feels surreal," Ian chuckled. "Yet again, having a base power level of one decillion can do this to a person." Ian had wished to be Gogeta permanently and also added on his power level to a decillion! Why? Because fuck it, that's why. This was a world why omnipotent beings reside, he would have asked for more power level but he did not remember what came after decillion. Perhaps he would have wished for a googolplex powerlevel but there is also something called too OP! He did not know how the Presence would have reacted to him been there. Just as he was monologuing in his mind, he heard a loud sound like something breaking while the sound been amplified before something landed with a seismic enducing crash behind him. He turned around and came face to face with Superman himself.

"Hello, stranger," Superman greeted him while Ian did nothing but stare at him. After a few more seconds, which felt like minutes to both of them due to their sped up perception, Superman cleared his throat, bringing Ian back.

"I know that symbol. How did you get it?" Ian asked. A plan was already cooking in his nogging, a plan to be accepted by Superman while also quenching his thirst for a battle. After all, no better way to make friends than after a good ol' fist fight.

"You know my family's symbol? You know of Krypton?" Superman eagerly asked.

"I know of Krypton, I know of its destruction so the chance of you being a Kryptonian is very low. Speak, where did you find those clothes!" Ian said with authority. Fake it till you make it. He got into a fighting stance, making Superman jump back.

"Listen, I don't want to fight you. I am sure we can come to a peaceful understanding..."

"Peaceful understanding? You will not find that with me as long as you wear that symbol on your chest. I have low tolerance to thieves and little to none for grave robbers. You will tell me what I want to know even if I will have to break every bone in your body to do it," Ian growled before using instant transmission, teleporting right in front of Superman and punching him to the sky.

The man of steel felt his entire body scream of pain, making him be dazed for a moment before feeling like he impacted on something, hard. Coming to his senses, he saw a giant blue planet above him, making him widen his eyes in shock. Looking around, he confirmed his suspicions, he had just been punched right to the moon!

'My whole body is still shaking from that punch, who is this?' Superman asked himself as he got up. Just then, something landed in front of him, blowing a huge cloud of dust before a strong hand got hold of him by his neck, making him fly backwards and out of the dust to see two brown eyes looking straight at him before a predator like grin plastered on his assaulter's face.

'Shit!' Superman thought before the stranger started dragging him on the moon's surface. This was the first time Superman had ever felt this powerless.

Using his only option, Superman just started punching the stranger's face with all the strength he could muster. There was no need for holding back, the stranger proved to be strong enough to handle it. With an inner war cry, Superman punched Ian's face with all he could but his face barely even moved. Ian grinned even more before punching him with his other hand, a punch so strong the moon now had a super crater on its surface.

Ian let go of him before flying ing a good distance away. He looked down at the stunned Superman before stretching out his right hand where he gathered a ball of ki, aimed at the Kryptonian. Ian grinned savagely before firing ki blast after ki blast at the Kryptonian who immediately got up and started flying away from the ki balls. But, Ian kept of firing more and more, his smile becoming more savagery each passing second. He had held back enough so that the most damage the ki balls could do was cause a city sized crater on the moon's surface. Superman himself could not believe the destruction the stranger was causing, making his heart grow cold at the thought of what would happen if he was hit by one of the balls.

'I need to stop him from causing more destruction or the moon will be lost forever!' Superman thought before seeing the perfect tool, a small hill. Using his laser vision, he cut the hill from its base before lifting it up. With a spin, he chucked the entire thing at Ian who nodded at this.

'You want to retaliate back, that's fine, otherwise there would be no fun if I was the only one dishing out everything,' Ian thought before firing a ki ball at the approaching hill, pulverizing it to nothing but chunks of dirt and rocks. But, from these debris came a flying figure, speeding straight at Ian, left hand cocked backwards for an almighty punch.

'Ooh, wonder how powerful that is,' Ian thought to himself before letting Superman punch him right on his chest. When an invulnerable object hits another invulnerable object at speeds much much faster than speed of sound, instead of sound, a shockwave is produced.

Superman watched as a huge shockwave was the outcome of his punch, a shockwave that left a huge ass crater, while making Ian leave a humongous ditch. Due to the punch coming much faster than the speed of sound, Ian's momentum was tearing apart the ground all around him, making him leave the ditch. When his momentum was lost, he got up with a jump then patted down his vest.

'Not strong as prime Superman, but strong enough. That means he will survive this,' Ian said before turning to Superman who was watching him with an opened mouth. 'Serious series: Death Punch!'

Superman witnessed as Ian's figure disappeared in his eyes, making his brain go into hyperdrive and speeding up his perception, only to find Ian right in front of him, a punch coming right at his face. Superman tried to dodge but his body could not react fast enough and that was when Superman first heard his bones crack.

With a muffled scream, Superman was sent flying to the giant blue planet above him, leaving behind a shockwave that blasted moon debris to space. His consciousness flickering on and off, he watched the planet becoming closer and closer till he entered the atmosphere. He watched, helplessly, as he approached the South Pole and crashed into a giant iceberg that was reduced to vapour due to the force and heat he generated. It was a good thing he did not require to breath or he would have drowned for he found himself sinking to the depth of the ocean. That was before the stranger appeared in front of him, got hold of him by his cape and flew out of the water and onto another iceberg.

"You will tell me everything I need to know or I will start breaking more bones," Ian said, pushing Superman by his chest where he had cracked ribs, making him groan in pain.

"I...am not...a... grave robber. I am a Kryptonian, my father was Jor-El, a Kryptonian scientist," Superman struggled to say. Ian acted as if he was surprised.

"Son of Jor-El? You are lying!" he said with conviction, increasing his force on Superman's chest, making him groan even more.

"I..can prove it. I can prove I am the son of Jor-El," Superman desperately said. Pain was foreign to him and he only wanted it to stop. Ian let him go, making the Kryptonian fall to his knees, gasping loudly for air, showing just how much damage he sustained.

"If you are lying to me, I will torture you before killing you. Now, produce this prove at once," Ian said.

"The prove is not here, it's in the North Pole. If you will be patient, we can fly there and give you the evidence," Superman said and Ian just nodded.
