In the blink of an eye, the Z-fighters charged. With Gohan leading the way, the ten warriors sprinted across the terrace towards their foe at blinding speeds. Closing in on her from the front and being sure to space themselves out, in a matter of milliseconds the group converged on the arrogant deity and closed the distance between them. In bullet time you could see the demi-Saiyan leading the charge, and with Vegeta, Piccolo, Zangya and everybody else flanking him on either side, the most powerful fighters on the planet drew their respective fists back and opened up on their target with everything they had.
Using speeds far greater than any ordinary human could follow, the warriors' punches shot towards Set from all sides at the exact same time, ten attacks coming from ten different angles. For a brief moment it looked like their blows would land, as the deity had no room whatsoever to move. But against all odds, the moment their fists came within grazing distance of the goddess's face, they were all effectively avoided when the canine woman slipped between their fists and effortlessly evaded all of their opening hits. What instantly followed from there was an indistinguishable blur of fast moving figures as Gohan, Vegeta, Zangya, Paprika and everybody else unleashed an unrelenting and continuous assault upon their foe. At the same time, their ludicrously fast target head slipped and avoided every single one of them as she ran backwards along the terrace, her hands behind her back, her eyes closed and a smile on her face.
Shouts, yells and attacks cutting through the air echoed across the temple's courtyard as the dozen fighters engaged the fox deity from all sides. Due to the insane speeds they were moving at, the warriors' bodies took the form of invisible blurs dashing this way and that across the stone courtyard as Set maneuvered them in random ellipses of the terrace. It was thanks to this erratic and untraceable display of movement that prompted the Z-fighters to mix up their combinations and try to get the woman from a blind spot.
Instead of remaining in their siege formation surrounding the God of Storms, the ten fighters began mixing it up and switching places repeatedly, attempting to slip around and jump over each other to catch Set by surprise. It soon became a situation reminiscent of Goku and Piccolo's opening skirmish with Radditz, in which Set held the center ground while avoiding the courageous fighters as they sprinted circles around her. They even tried attacking her from above, jumping at her with kicks and wide blows to cut her off. But not matter what angle they approached her from, none of their attacks even came close to landing.
What's more, she was dodging all of them with her fucking eyes closed!
In an effort to get their foe to move, Piccolo rushed in from behind her with a slash of his hands, his maneuver prompting the other members of the group to disengage. But his furious charge was easily avoided when the female deity slipped around him, resulting in the Namekian rushing past her and missing her by a mile.
Taking advantage of the situation, a circling Gohan and Vegeta, eyes fixed squarely on their target, vanished in a blur of movement and maneuvered behind her for an attack. With the deity standing perfectly still in the center of the terrace, the pair teleported behind her with their fists loaded and ready to fire.
But the instant the two Saiyans appeared out of their light speed jump a smiling Set suddenly leant forward and launched herself across the terrace. Her maneuver was marked by an involuntary blast of wind that smacked both the demi-Saiyan and the prince head on, and sent them tumbling painfully across the hard surface of the courtyard.
As soon as they were knocked away, Videl and Eighteen attempted to take the woman while she was floating parallel just three feet off of the ground, and dove in at her from the sides. They swung out at her with their fists, only for the relaxed God to suddenly to shoot up into the sky from her perfectly vertical position.
In spite of not putting any effort into her movements whatsoever, Set's speed was so great that the Z-fighters could barely keep track of her.
Snarling at the deity's retreating form, Paprika leapt into the sky after her, the demon's form blurring out and reappearing directly above her quarry a hundred meters above the pyramid. Intercepting the goddess, who slowed down and righted herself to face the Makyan, the white haired teen cranked her fist back and struck out at the woman in a blur of attacks. Her fists sliced down at the deity in an unending rain of blows as she forced her back little by little, but every punch she threw was effortlessly avoided by the woman, who continued to smile despite how dangerously close each strike came.
Frustration growing with every punch that missed, the Makyan tried once more to try and catch her. Her assault coming to an abrupt end, Paprika threw a wild haymaker at the canine, only for Set to deftly leap over her punch, hop off of her extending fist like it were springboard, and flip over the demon to appear behind her.
"W-What the?!" Reacting in alarm, Paprika spun around to see where Set had gone. But just as she was in the process of turning around, the goddess, effortlessly moving around her opponent, lifted her finger and gently tapped the Makyan in the crook of her neck.
While this appeared as an ordinary poke, the impact of it was so great that it not only generated a deafening shockwave, but it sent a stunned Paprika rocketing towards the planet's surface. A split second after the attack landed, the Makyan slammed into the desert floor with a deafening thunderclap, a geyser like explosion of dust shooting into the stratosphere from where she landed.
The Z-fighters scattered across the area could only gawk in shock at how easily the woman dealt with their ally.
When the dust settled from the crash landing, it revealed Paprika lying sprawled out in the middle of the crater, reverted back to her normal form and her eyes closed shut, indicating she'd been knocked out cold with a single blow.
Set smirked down at the fallen demon, "That's one."
"You jerk!" a shout from above echoed out, drawing Set's eyes to her front.
The instant she looked, the deity saw Goten rocketing towards her at full speed, his golden aura blazing around him like a comet.
With a yell of effort, the child threw a punch at the goddess, only to miss when the woman held her finger up and gently placed it against his forehead. Comically, the child continued swinging out at the woman like a kid being held at arm's length from striking someone taller than them. "Ugh! Damn it! Ugh! You leave Paprika… ugh, ugh… alone!" With every grunt, Goten's fists swung out uselessly, putting an amused smirk on Set's face.
Moments later, the woman held up her other hand and placed a finger against the forehead of another adversary, who appeared out of super speed swinging at her. When Trunks's form appeared, the boy also took a few useless swings at the goddess, only to be held back just as Goten was.
"Ah! Stupid dog! I'll… ugh… I'll get you!" the lavender haired Super Saiyan yelled as he tried to kick and punch the woman, but to no avail.
After a couple more seconds of shouting and punching, Set soon grabbed the two boys by the hair, held them in front of her, and bonked their heads together. With a loud 'bang' the woman not only knocked them out of Super Saiyan but effortlessly knocked the two children unconscious. Upon which she then dropped the pair and allowed them to plummet back to the earth.
Flying across the terrace, Gohan quickly leapt up at the falling children and caught them, dropping back to the floor moments later with his brother and friend held securely in his arms. When he checked to see if they were alive, the teen breathed a sigh of relief before glaring over his shoulder to see the goddess reappear in the middle of the terrace.
"Shit. This is bad." Setting Goten and Trunks to the floor, the oldest son of Goku quickly got back to his feet and, powering up, rocketed towards their opponent in a flash.
Reappearing directly beside the woman with his aura blazing around him, the demi-Saiyan threw a couple of punches her way. The dog goddess, eyes open and fixed upon the boy, effortlessly head slipped his blows before leaning towards him. When her eyes met his, the angered Gohan threw a roundhouse kick at her face, only for her finger to shoot up and flick him in the shin. The unexpected counter effortlessly knocked the teen's powerful kick back and sent him spinning to the floor like a top. When he hit the ground, the Ascended Saiyan bounced off of it and went tumbling painfully across the courtyard, where he eventually skidded to a stop in a crumpled heap several yards away.
Sensing the other Z-fighters approaching, Set looked over her shoulder to see Eighteen lunging at her with a punch. Vanishing in a flicker of movement, the goddess reappeared directly behind the angry blonde with a gentle nudge to her neck, a blow that connected with a thud and knocked the cyborg out. As soon as the android dropped to the ground, Videl came in from in front of the goddess with a kick, only for the deity to catch her boot between her thumb and finger. Then, with barely any effort at all, the goddess tossed the teenager over her shoulder.
The raven haired crime fighter cried out as she spun into the air before hitting the terrace a split second later, landing painfully on her side, which she gripped as soon as she stopped.
Once she'd dispatched of those two warriors, Set then glanced to her left to see Krillin standing at a distance with his hand raised and a golden disk spinning above his palm.
The moment her eyes landed on him, the short human fighter yelled. "Destructo Disk!" He then pitched the monofilament attack in the God's direction, intending on cutting her in half.
Flying along a straight and narrow path, the sharp blade slammed into Set's shoulder with a flash of light. It then attempted to burrow its way through the target, but after several tense seconds of digging, the disk suddenly lost out and, after bouncing off of its target, shattered in midflight.
Before Krillin could even gawk, Set disappeared and reappeared directly in front of him, shocking the Z-fighter and forcing him to lean back. After seeing him gasp, the fox woman casually raised a hand to the short warrior's forehead and flicked him in the brow. A loud 'slap' echoed across the countryside followed by a scream, as Goku's best friend was sent spiraling towards the horizon. In the blink of an eye, the man crashed into a dune five kilometers away, his landing marked by a large burst of dust and sand.
In just under two minutes, Paprika, Goten, Trunks, Eighteen and Krillin had all been taken out. That meant only five Z-fighters were left.
