This is my first time writing a fanfiction. I'm new at this and haven't really written anything before, but I hope to improve. Anyways, I've always really liked the Universes introduced in the Tournament of Power, so I wanted to try writing about one of them as my first story. I plan to make a backstory as to how the members of the U4 team came to know eachother.

2 Years before Tournament of Power

Universe 4's God of Destruction, Quitela, was not destroying. The yellow rat was currently sitting in his comfortable couch, playing the newest game in his favorite fighting game series: Cats vs Rats 3. Quitela was the reigning champion in all tournaments of this game; mainly because he Hakai'd anyone he thought could beat him in it. And then he Hakai'd all the losers for losing.

Yeah, Quitela isn't exactly the pinnacle of the Gods of Destruction.

As Quitela played the game, he was using a rat character to beat up a cat character. He thought to himself "Yes, Beerus, this is how it will play out next time we meet. KE KE KE, that arrogant cretin thinks he's stronger than me, even after I beat him in arm wrestling. He even had the nerve to claim I cheated!

Quitela started talking aloud, "Keep on making all the excuses you want Beerus, but you will never compare to-"

"Lord Quitela"

Quitela shrieked and threw his controller up in the air, falling off the couch, tumbling to the floor.

Quitela got up and dusted himself off. He turned around to see a tall man wearing brown robes: his angel.

"COGNAC! DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT!

"My apologies Lord Quitela, I have rather important news that you must be informed of."

Quitlea glared at Cognac and thought to himself, "What could possibly be so important as to interrupt Cats vs Rats? I've explicitly told Cognac to not come into my chambers unless he wants to play too. And he never wants to play.

Cognac spoke, "Lord Quitela, the mortal ranking of Universe has fallen behind Universe 10's; we are now the fourth lowest ranking universe."

Quitela's glare transitioned into a face that held a combination of disbelief and exasperation, "So what you're telling me, is that those protein shake drinking nincompoops are actually doing a better job than us?"

"That is correct Lord Quitela. Now, how do you propose we raise it?"

Quitela turned around and began to head back towards his comfy couch, "Bah, there's no need."

Now Cognac held the look of bewilderment upon his face. "Lord Quitela, our ranking comes from Zeno himself, he looks more favorably upon the higher ranking universes. To ignore it would not be the wisest choi-"

"When has that sadistic grape ever used mortal levels for anything?" Quitela interrupted. "Ke ke ke, I can assure you that Universe 4 will be fine."

"Did this little mouse looking guy just call the Omni King a "Sadistic Grape" Ok then." Cognac thought to himself. "Lord Quitela, something should at least be done about it."

Quitela pondered for a moment. "Ke ke ke."

"Oh no, he's doing the laugh, what the heck is he going to suggest this time." Angels don't normally get worried, but Cognac was actually concerned for the mortals of Universe 4 and what Quitela's plan would do to them.

Quitela then revealed his master plan, "We shall have the mortals raise the mortal level for us!"

Cognac truly wondered where this was going, "And how do you propose we get them to do that?"

Quitela laid down on his couch with a smug grin on his face. "There are tons of powerful rulers in our universe, and they all have something precious to them. If we were to steal these things from them…"

"We plan on stealing from mortal rulers, and not giving them the stolen items back until they push our mortal level up for us?" Cognac seriously wondered if this plan could get any lazier. But he had to ask, "And will we be the ones stealing?"

"Of course not you dunderhead! The Association of Thieves will do it for us; they report directly to me after all, ke ke ke." Quitela stretched out even more on his couch, admiring the golden statues of none other than himself. "And the first item on the agenda.. Is to steal the Amulet of the royal family of planet Aspen. I hear King Carum has entrusted it to his daughter, Princess Caway."

"I hear no one has ever successfully stolen from that royal family, Lord Quitela."

Quitela grinned even bigger, "Ohhhhh, that part is true but they haven't seen my best thief before. He is the greatest thief in all of our universe."

Cognac was admittedly curious, "And who might this 'super thief' be?"

Quitela sat up, revealing the most sinister look. "His name? His name is Damon."

"Ke ke ke"

Three Weeks Later

It was nighttime on the surface of the planet Aspen where a small camp was set up. Three men sat around a fire.

The youngest of those men had green skin, and pointed ears. He was wearing a red hat with goggles, however his most notable feature was that his feet were like that of a bird. He is the protagonist of this story, Ganos.

Ganos stared deep into the fire, "What in Kuru's name is Damon thinking!? He's only ever had me do small jobs before, now he expects me to help him steal from the greatest ruling power in the Universe!? HE'S INSANE!"

Ganos looked over at his two companions: One was a chubby pink man with no hair aside from green side burns, he was wearing a red shirt. That one's name was Phil, a thief of the Association. . The other was the most intense looking man he had ever seen: The man was a humanoid insect to be precise, like a humanoid firefly. He was tall, muscular, his exoskeleton was an extremely dark red and it covered what would be his face, aside from two glowing lime green eyes.

Ganos had only heard stories about that man, he was Senuv, the most infamous bounty hunter in Universe 4. Ganos thought he would feel reassured with such a strong man helping them, but Senuv's presence turned out to be terrifying.

Phil turned to Ganos and spat at him, "You better not screw this up chicken legs. Or I'm going to fry those legs and eat them."

Ganos turned away. He thought to himself "Nothing like some good old fashioned positive reinforcement."

This is when Senuv spoke: "It is getting late, Ganos, Phil. I shall take watch while we wait for Damon to get back, you two will sleep."

Phil spoke, "Don't you mean first watch?"

"No" And that was the end of the discussion.

The last thing Ganos thought before he fell asleep was: "I am only an amateur thief and I have to steal an amulet from a princess with hundreds of trained soldiers guarding her. My only allies are a chubby guy that I barely know anything about, the most feared bounty hunter in the universe, and a tiny bug person."

"I'm screwed."

And that was the first chapter of my first story on this site. It was more of an introductory chapter than anything, the next one should have more action in it. I plan on having all the Universe 4 fighters play a role in this story, so don't be worried if they haven't appeared yet. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
