answers to reviewers questions or statements:
pandawok301: The whole Frost being an actual villain is only in the Anime, which I have already stated is not going to be the basis for this Frost whose going to be more in line with his Manga counterpart. And Peter's known Frost for some time, you really think if Frost was a bad guy he wouldn't have noticed by now?
Jestalnaker94000: Well considering the Necro-sword has killed Celestials, I can see the likes of Beerus or Champa or any of the other Gods of Destruction being affected by it.
Omni God Emperor Shadic: Why would Peter hold a grudge against the Z Warriors? Your 'reasons' are things that he's done himself or wouldn't be against. Actually know what your talking about before talking nonsense. And for the record, the reason behind Goku not beating Buu at several points with Super Saiyan Three is because of the sheer amount of stress that form takes an d energy consumption. Just being in it for a few minutes when he was dead had used up HOURS of his time on Earth and even when he was brought back to life he was quickly losing stamina against Kid Buu. And Vegito not killing Buu was because his goal was to get the likes of Piccolo, Trunks, Goten and Gohan out of Buu.
Omni-Creator Kami of Anime: No the Phoenix has had multiple Avatars at the same time in different universes, it's spread across the Multiverse and each Avatar is capable of 'tapping' into the Phoenix's power. The concept is the same as that of the Lantern Corps, multiple users all pulling from the same source, it's just on a far larger and arguably more complex scale. Forgot to add them.
MountainBookSage25: Nothing serious, just the tried and true 'It's either me or Spider-man' card she keeps playing.
The Anonymous FanFic Author: Who said I can't have elements from other Marvel universes added in? Other events will transpire that'll see Hit and Cabba's character grow and evolve, along with their power.
DxD-Supreme: Just because Zeno never said anything to Peter doesn't mean he's not paying attention to him, Beerus already alluded to that earlier.
Grey Starkiller: Well considering the X-men's history with the Phoenix, and the fact that even it's most common and preferred Avatar, who was also one of the longest serving and well respected members of the X-men, has at times struggled to reign it in, can you blame them for being unsure of Peter? Yeah, Hit could actually win this whole thing now...
The Storm Master 567: I really hope your kidding about Ghidorah.
Marvel Master: Peter's going to do his best to avoid people when he gets back.
PrudishSet: Peter will at some point face Goku while he's in Ultra Instinct yes.
spiderfan: I mean to be fair Batman did change the whole Robin being allowed to face Joker under any circumstance after Jason died. Though I do find the guy's hypocrisy at times grating. He's all for the rule of law yet he's on a number of occasions broken the law. Breaking and entering, withholding evidence or information from the GCPD, which let's be honest is probably a smart move to begin with, trespassing in active crime scenes, the works.
Guest: Yea.
Batman1998: Thanos and the Infinity Gems are not going to be a thing here.
superpierce: Most of his wounds aren't life threating, so there's not real point.
darthwolf: Pecking order.
Harem God: The Justice League isn't so much as newcomers as their timeline and the Marvel one have been merged.
CRUDEN: Perhaps.
SnakeN3: Frost will not be a villain in this. Yes he'll occasionally do something that's morally ambiguous but his primary concern will always be his people. Peter's gonna be involved in like one major arc in Universe 7 but that'll be it.
Batthan the Dark Knight: Oh yeah.
Guest: He knows a bit about Ki, it's just he prefers to fall back on his cosmically enhanced Spider powers more than anything familiarity if nothing else. Plus, Vegeta and Goku didn't give him a reason to pull out all the stops... yet.
Mr Nobody: Zeno's watching him, it's part of the reason he arrived earlier than in canon.
OmniIBIBUltraInstinctGodzilla: With Zeno, what's the point of The Presence or One Above All?
Spiderwitch2211: Maybe.
Also quick note for the Harem, Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) and She-Hulk are in it, I just forgot to add them in.
Harem: Vados, Heles, Android 21, Towa, Kale, Caulifla, Marcarita, Zangya, Black Cat, Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers), Spider-woman (Jessica Drew), Madam Web (Julia Carpenter), Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk, Laura, Psylocke, Jean Grey, Storm, Morrigan Ashland, Chun-Li, Juri, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Poison Ivy, Power Girl, and Starfire.

"Sooo, does this mean we're still fighting?" Cabba asked with a raised hand after Vegeta's outburst.
"I have no idea" Peter shrugged before he glanced at Champa "Are we still fighting? I mean Hit didn't get a chance to go really and Cabba still hasn't fought anyone yet"
"No..." Champa said with a tired sigh as he reached up to rub away the sweat on his forehead "I... I don't feel like doing this anymore"
Beerus nodded with a grave look in his eye "Especially since HE wants a word with us. Best wrap this up and prepare for his arrival"
Vegeta gritted his teeth in absolute rage at this, so far he's been denied a proper fight because his first opponent threw the match out of spite and the second was too weak to even bother being considered a warmup. The assassin Hit actually seemed like it'd be a good fight but than that CHILD had to come in and stop every-
"Who was that big guy Lord Beerus?" Goku suddenly asked as he pointed in the direction the Omni-King and his escort departed in "The one with the hood and had the weird voice? He seemed really s-"
"Goku" Beerus looked up towards the Saiyan with the most serious face he's ever seen on the God of Destruction.
"Y-Yeah?" Goku asked, a bit confused at the Deity's behavior.
"If you ever, and I mean ever think of asking HIM to a fight... I will kill you" Beerus said in a cold and dethatched tone as he slowly approached the surprised Saiyan. Even the likes of Vegeta and Piccolo were taken back by the God's dark tone "I will commit the entirety of my very existence and even forego my own survival to making sure you never live to see another day if I ever hear the words 'fight' and 'Him' come out of your mouth. Am I understood?"
"But Lord Beerus, I just wanted to-" Goku began before he was cut off by Beerus silently holding a hand out and aimed towards his face, an unseen power coursing through it that froze the Saiyan warrior to his very core.
"This is your only warning Saiyan" Beerus growled as the air in his hand began to ripple.
Goku frowned at this before he noticed the grave look in even Whis's eye and the slight shake of his head, warning him to not push his luck. If there's anything that has managed to make it's way into Goku's thick skull since he began his training under the likes of Whis and Beerus, mainly the former, it was that when Whis is in genuine agreement with the Destroyer God, it was best to heed it. With a depressed sigh, Goku nodded and stepped back a little, mainly because the energy building in Beerus's hand was starting to leak out in small arcs of dark purplish lightning and something told Goku he didn't wantt to get hit by it.
"So you can obey... will wonders ever cease?" Beerus scoffed before he lowered his arm and let out a tired sigh and glanced at his twin "Rock paper scissors to decide who wins?"
Champa made a annoyed sound before he nodded "Fine, fine! Best two out of three, winner gets the Super Dragon Balls"
As the two Gods prepared to end this tournament, Peter made his way over to Vados and tugged on her sleeve, causing her to glance at the mortal with a raised brow.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Who was that?" Peter nodded in the direction Grand Zeno left in "Not the little guy, but the big one in the hood? He seemed kinda important"
"He is, in more ways than one" Vados revealed with a nod "He is, for the lack of a better term, the enforcer of the Omni-King. He ensures that various Gods and Kais of the Multiverse know, obey and enforce the laws and decrees of the Omni-King in their respective Universes. In the event that a God of Destruction or Kai violates those rules... he'll give that Universe's God or Kai a chance to correct themselves, or have one of their Peers do it, before he steps in to do so himself"
"And I'm gonna assume that if he steps in, that's it? No givies backsies?" Peter asked, causing Vados to nod with a grave look in her eye "When's the last time he's had to do that?"
"When the Multiversal Order had to be... changed" Vados said as her gaze flickered up and down Peter's body "The Establishment of the Gods and Kais and the... replacement, of their predecessors, the Avatars of the Phoenix. It was not voluntary on their part"
"Whose, the Gods or Space birds?" Peter asked, a little unnerved by the way Vados said 'replacement'.
Vados didn't respond as the two suddenly heard a frustrated yell from Champa and a victorious laugh from Beerus. They turned to see Champa glaring at his fist which symbolized 'rock' while Beerus held up his palm, signifying he chose 'paper'.
"Looks like I win again Champa" Beerus boasted with a feral grin, causing Champa to grit his teeth in frustration before he turned with a huff and began to stomp away.
"FINE! YOU CAN HAVE THE DAMN THINGS! I DON'T NEED THEM ANYWAY!" Champa said as he gestured for his fighters to follow him back to the Cube "Come on losers, let's get out of here. I have a meeting in the immediate future and I AM NOT GOING TO RISK MISSING IT!"
Peter shrugged at this before he glanced at the fighters from Universe Seven, Vegeta specifically and gave him a mocking smile under his mask "The Lord giveth, the lord tells us to come on, eh?"
Vegeta narrowed his eyes angrily at Peter while Goku let out a laugh as he slapped his fellow Saiyan on the back.
"Sucks the Tournament ended, and I didn't get a chance to fight you for real, maybe we can have a quick sparring some time?" Goku asked.
Peter hummed at this and made a show of tapping his chin before he shrugged again "So long as you give me a better fight than Vegan there, sure!"
"YOU MOTHER-" Vegeta made to lunge at Peter before Goku grabbed him and held him back with a strained smile.
"SURE, S-S-SEE Y-YOU SOON! AGH, VEGETA, KNOCK IT OFF!" Goku said as he struggled to keep his enraged teammate and friend from attacking Peter.
"Byeee" Peter waved mockingly towards the Saiyan Prince one more time as he turned and broke off into a jog to catch up with the rest of the fighters from Universe Six, along with it's respective Deities.
Vados had already recovered Frost and had him settled in a small bed she conjured up from him to rest on for the trip back to Universe Six. Hit was already onboard and leaning against the wall in that cool lone wolf kinda way and Cabba and Magetta were waving Peter over to their part of the Cube. Once all of the Fighters were aboard, the Cube began to quickly rise into the air.
"Well that could've gone better" Champa said with a tired sigh as he watched the Planet with No Name become smaller and smaller before the Cube took off at faster than light speeds through the cosmos.
"So now what?" Peter said with a glance aimed at the God of Destruction.
He was a little annoyed that his world won't be getting restored any time soon, but now that he had a sure fire way to do so, he supposed he could get over it.
"Now, you all get ready for the Omni-King's Tournament" Champa said with a scowl aimed at the fighters before he pointed a threatening finger towards Peter "And you! You better not throw your match for it or I'll personally use your intestines as a condom when I fuck your skull into pieces"
"Okay, okay!" Peter said, holding his hands up in a attempt to placate the angered God.
Champa huffed as he stomped over towards the other end of the cube before sliding down to the ground and brooded in silence. Peter shook his head at the Deity's antics as the Cube began to slow before it re-emerged in real space and over a world that seemed to be covered in one super massive city with dozens of mountain sized orbital stations hovering around it and hundreds if not thousands of ships coming and going.
"Whoa..." Cabba said as he glanced down at the planet, noting a few skyscrapers so tall that they actually reached lower orbit "Where are we?"
"Artica, Throneworld of Emperor Frost's intergalactic Empire" Vados stated as she glanced down into the box "Would one of you mind waking Mister Frost up and let him know we've arrived?"
"I got ya" Peter said as he made his way over to Frost's still unconscious form and began to gently shake the monarch "Hey Frosty, your home"
Frost made a pained groan as he slowly began to open his eyes before wincing in pain and reached up to cradle his head "Ugh, what happened?"
"You got your ass handed to you, we lost the Super Dragon Balls and now your home" Champa said from his side of the Cube "Now get off you free loader. Oh, and make sure to clear up your schedule for the foreseeable future, we're going to be taking part in a Multiversal Tournament between the other Universes soon"
Frost blinked at this as Peter helped him and he looked around with a look of confusion "What... what'd I miss?"
"I already told you, not fuck off" Champa said with a dismissive wave.
"Happy to be of service Lord Champa" Frost said in a dry tone.
Once Frost exited the Cube and began to drift towards the planet below, Vados had the Cube re-enter... whatever form of faster than light travel this was and continued on to their next destination. Champa had settled into a light sleep of sorts and Hit remained where he was, still as a statue while Magetta, Peter and Cabba had moved to the other end of the Cube, though it wasn't very far given Magetta's size and the limited space the Cube offered to begin with.
"A Tournament against fighters from other Universes" Cabba said with thoughtful look on his face.
"Yep" Peter nodded while Magetta puffed a series of small steam clouds. Peter looked up towards the metallic being and nodded in agreement "There's bound to be a few there, I mean it is a big multiverse"
"What'd he say?" Cabba asked with confusion, inwardly wondering how Peter could understand the robotic creature before chalking it up some form of telepathy.
Peter nodded towards Magetta "He asked if there might be other mechanical beings like him at this tournament. I think there might be, I mean if our Universe and The Seventh can share Saiyans, I don't see why we can't share sentient robotic organisms"
"Well, here's hoping their not savages like the Saiyans from Seventh Universe were" Cabba said with a mental shiver as he remembered the state Vegeta left Frost in "When I first met them, Vegeta and Goku, I found out that the Saiyans from the Seventh were conquerors. Vegeta assured me that they weren't anymore but... well I guess they never moved on from their barbarism"
"Does anyone ever really do?" Peter asked with a snort before something occurred to him "Hey Cabba, can you go all Super Saiyan like Vegeta and Goku can?"
"Super...?" Cabba said before he remembered the transformations that Goku and Vegeta underwent in the Tournament and shook his head "No, I can't. I didn't even know we Saiyans could transform like that"
Magetta made a series of boops and beeps before ending in a long plume of steam erupting from his steam pipe, causing Cabba to look up at the massive being with helpless confusion.
"Ummm..." Cabba sounded as he looked to Peter for some kind of translation.
"He said 'Didn't you Saiyans used to be able to turn into giant apes?'" Peter repeated Magetta's question before he looked up towards Magetta and nodded "to answer your question, yeah, they did. Also I happen to know two Saiyans from our Universe that can go all glowie like Vegeta and Goku can"
"You do?!" Cabba said with surprise.
Peter nodded "Kale and Caulifla"
"Wait, they can go Super Saiyan as well?" Cabba asked.
"Yes" Peter answered with a sigh "Found that out the hard way a few months back when I ran into them"
Cabba hummed at this just as the Cube came to a sudden stop before the Saiyan homeworld of Sadala. Once a message had been sent to the planet below to have a shuttle sent up to retrieve Cabba, and surprisingly Hit who claimed that he was meeting with someone on the world below, the Cube took off once more towards it's last destination, Magetta's world.
"So if you don't mind me asking but how do you guys... you know..." Peter gestured towards Magetta's body "Make baby yous?"
Magetta silently considered his response for a moment as the Cube raced through the cosmos before he let out a long stream of steam before responding in a series of long electronic beeps. Peter nodded throughout the whole explanation, though around halfway through he had to repress a shiver at how Magetta's people are birthed before the metalman ended the explanation with a thundering clap with both of his hands.
"Wow..." Peter said with wide eyes while Magetta nodded "So your lava also doubles as a sort of incubator and placenta for the babies when their inside the mother?"
Magetta nodded.
"And depending on the ore you consume before hand and have it reduce to molten lava, that metal is integrated into the growing baby's 'body'?" Peter said, causing Magetta to once again nod and let out a small puff of steam.
"That's... pretty cool actually" Peter said with a whistle before something occurred to him "So wait, what are you made out of?"
Magetta made a series of beeps and gestured wildly towards his frame before pointing out of the box with a single large hand and puffed a series of small steam clouds before finishing with a low whistle.
"HOLY SHIT!" Peter gaped at the metalman's revelation "Dude, you could tank a freakin Supernova if you wanted!"
Magetta nodded, even though he had no idea what a Supernova was and simply chalked it up to some kind of explosion as the Cube re-entered normal space above the metallic being's home, a planet roughly three times the size of Peter's own world and, from what he could see, six times the number of moons. The planet's surface was dotted with numerous volcanoes with a single active super volcano along the planet's horizon, creating a cloud of ash and smoke that reached into the planet's lower orbit. From what Peter could see of the planet's actual surface, and that of the moons which seemed to share a similar terrestrial appearance to that of the planet their orbiting, it seemed to be covered in vast plains of what looks to be metal of some sort, likely different veins that have over the years melded together into desserts hundreds of miles across.
'Man, this place's a miner's nirvana' Peter thought as he stared at the planet below with wide eyes as Magetta stepped out of the cube and simply let gravity drag him down to the world below. Peter blinked at the sight and glanced up towards Vados "Did he just decide to freefall back down to his home?"
"It appears he did" Vados said with a nod as she peeked over the edge of the Cube to watch the metalman's descent for a moment before having the Cube shoot back off into speeds that defied all forms of human science.
At least Peter thought they did.
'In fact, just about everything I've seen in the Universe the past few decades defy our science' Peter thought with a snort before he realized that he was the only person left that needed to be dropped off somewhere "Hey Vados, could you let me off out by Hala so I can attend the Expo they have-"
Suddenly the Cube came to a stop in the middle of a green and blue colored nebula, causing Peter to stumble forward and almost go face first into the Cube's wall before he caught himself. Champa let out a yelp as he found himself shaken from his nap and quickly climbed to his feet as Vados descended into the Cube with the orb on her staff blinking.
"Hey, what's the big idea stopping all of a sudden like that?!" Champa demanded.
"You'll both want to see this" Vados said as she had a projection of a familiar blue and green world appear "It's Earth"
"Yes, yes, Beerus's source of delectable foods, what of it?" Champa asked with annoyance.
"Huh, it looks a lot like mine" Peter said as he examined the familiar seven continents "Huh, thought it'd be different for some reason. You know, different Universe, likely different tectonic movements and geographic development when-"
"NERD!" Champa cut off Peter with an eye roll before he turned to Vados and spoke in a increasingly impatient tone as he pointed towards the projection "Now explain why your showing me this"
"This isn't Lord Beerus's Earth... this is a live view of the Earth of Universe Six" Vados calmly explained and watched Peter and Champa's reactions.
Champa blinked in surprise while Peter simply stared at the image with a level of intensity that she didn't think he was capable of outside of a firearm of some sort being held to his head.
"So... the Earth, my home, it's been restored?" Peter said in a quiet voice as he stared at the live view of what was once a hell-ish looking zombie infested world, now a vibrant blue and green.
"It appears so" Vados said with a small, caring smile "And from what I can see, even the inhabitants have been restored from their previous undead state"
Peter's eyes widened at this before he closer at the image as Vados 'zoomed' in on the world and the wall crawler saw that the people of the world were no longer half decaying abominations. People, all healthy and alive looking were seen going about their day and or night, seemingly unaware that only minutes ago, they were half rotted corpses roaming aimlessly around.
"But how is this possible?" Champa demanded as he gazed at the live recording with narrowed eyes.
"I can hazard a guess" Vados said as she glanced outside the box and stared off into a random direction, her eyes tracking something unseen to the two before.
Champa and Peter both shared a confused look at this and were about to press the Angel for more information when suddenly, a massive orange colored orb with six red stars flew by at speeds that were nothing short of Godlike. Peter gaped at the sight while Champa frowned in deep thought before clicking his tongue in annoyance, concluding that his brother had done this, not out of some form of brotherly affection, but to lord it over the Destroyer God for centuries to come.
"Well I guess I'll swing by my Earth and see how things are now. Pay off my rent which has to be like a gazillion dollars by now, check up on some people I haven't seen in years and see if they realized what's happened since-" Peter began before Champa was suddenly in front of him and jabbed a nailed finger into his chest with enough force to cause the wall crawler to stumble back and collide with the Cube's wall.
"YOUR TAKING ME AND VADOS THERE TO TRY THEIR FOOD, NOW!" he yelled.
"But what about your meeting with that hooded guy-" Peter began before Champa's face was right up against Peter's and his hand reached out to grab a fistful of the cosmic flames that made up his suit and very nearly ripped them off the human's body.
"EARTH! FOOD! NOW!" Champa yelled, causing Peter to gag at the smell of the Deity's breath.
'Would it kill him to pop a breath mint in?' Peter thought with a sweatdrop before he sighed and nodded in defeat, mostly because nothing will deter the God now "Fiiine... I'll take you to earth and show you around"
"FOOD!" Champa yelled as the Cube resumed it's trek through the cosmos, this time in the direction of Earth.
"And get you some food" Peter said in a dejected tone.
He just knew that he was going to regret this whole thing in a hundred different ways.
...
Millions of lightyears away, along the very fringes of what was once a heavily populated sector of space, a lone planet orbited a decaying star. It's surface was littered with miles deep craters, ruined cities and wrecks of long destroyed ships and orbital stations. Hovering over the planet's northern pole was a singular object, roughly spherical in shape with thousands of small bio-lights covering it's surface, seemingly pulsing with energy.
Towards the equator of the odd sphere was a large barren room with a massive floor to ceiling window that allowed the room's lone occupant, sitting on a simple throne made from stone, to gaze out at the dead world below.
"A Tournament between Destroyers from our Universe and another you say?" the throne's occupant said in a bored tone, a large forked tail draped over one of the throne's arm rests and swaying lazily back and forth.
Behind the throne kneeling before it, was a odd bird like creature with several sets of wings on it's back and a long thin beak on it's face. It's body wasn't very brawny, in fact it looked almost malnourished it it's appearance.
"Yes my lord" the bird like being said with a nod, keeping his eyes on the floor before him "From what we've been able to gather, your brother, Frost, has taken part in it"
The figure on the throne hummed, it's tail twitching a little before relaxing "And how long is this tournament supposed to last? Who else will be fighting for our reality's favor aside from my brother? What is the reward to such a spectacle?"
"We... are unsure my lord" the avian creature said with a hint of unease in his voice "Our spies were never able to gleam much more from Frost than there was a Tournament before he retired to rest... Lord Tundra"
Tundra, elder brother to Frost and Butcher of a Thousand Civilizations, let out a hiss of breath as he stood from his throne and approached the window with a thoughtful look on his face. Frost in his current form looked very much like Frost's true form though he was notably taller, more muscular and possessed less of a streamlined appearance with his arms and legs having sharp edges along the sides that were sharp enough to double as makeshift blades. His skin's coloration was also different from his brother's, where's Frost's was more light and dark blue, Tundra was almost entirely dark grey while the coloring on his head and chest were a pitch black color that almost seemed to be sucking light into it.
"Such a pity" Tundra remarked as his pale blue eyes stared down at the ruined world that was once known as Oa, the headquaters of the long dead Green Lantern corps.
It was one of the first worlds that Tundra had ever conquered when he struck out on his own, an after nearly a decade of near continuous fighting, the warlord had finally brought the world, and it's Guardians of the Universe, to their knees. Than once they were properly rounded up, he proceeded to cut off their heads and use the Lanterns treasured 'Battery' as a glorified night light. No seriously, he has it set up in his room as a actual night light.
And for the main dining room he's taken to using the now defunct Sinestro Corps' Battery to illuminate the space whenever he's eating. There was something oddly soothing when feasting in the basking glow of fear, he discovered...
'Green makes me calm, yellow makes me feel relaxed' Tundra thought with a small grin 'I wonder what the other Lantern Batteries will let me feel?'
"M-My lord?"
Tundra gave no immediate verbal response as he continued to stare out to the abandoned stronghold of the Green Lantern Corps. After allowing several seconds to pass, the alien warlord sighed "What is it Creeta?"
"Shall we have Frost assassinated?" Creeta asked with a flinch, worried he may have upset his master "He's likely still recovering from this Tournament and our spies have stated that they may not get a better opportunity to kill him before we begin our offensive. Their ready to move when you give the word"
"Mmm, tempting, but Frost is likely to be more on alert now than ever because of his condition" Tundra remarked as he remembered his own encounters with his younger brother "The expression of an animal being at their most dangerous when backed into a corner fits him quite well. No, attacking him now may be a overplay we cannot risk at the moment. Have them stand down and return to us"
"Of course my lord" Creeta said with a nod.
With a nod, Tundra turned to glance at his servant "And Creeta, when the spies return from Artica, see to their disposal. If they can't so much as gather a few more details on this mysterious Tournament from a tired monarch, I don't see much use of them anymore. Once more, they dared to assume that I'd allow them to kill my own sibling when I've made it clear that such a right is reserved for me alone"
"Yes my lord" Creeta said, his wings twitching slightly as Tundra began to make his way back to his throne and re-take his seat.
"Good, good..." Tundra said with a nod as he settled into his throne and let out a content sigh, his eyes closed and his expression that of complete and utter calm "Now that's settled, come and put your throat in my hand and let me choke you to death"
Silence reigned through the room as Creeta stared at his master with wide eyes.
"W-What?" Creeta said with shock, his wings twitching again.
"Several times you referred to my brother as simply, Frost" Tundra remarked, a hint of anger beginning to enter his voice as he finally turned to stare at Creeta, his eyes cold and full of barely restrained wrath, the pale blue now a chilling dark blue "While my brother and I have our differences, and I'd like nothing more than to kill him, he is still an Emperor and thus, he will be regarded as such. After all, how can we dare to claim to be his betters, if we forget even the most basic of manners and social protocol, hmm?"
"F-Forgive me my lord, I-" Creeta began before an unseen force suddenly pulled him into Tundra's hand.
Before the avian being could react, Tundra tightened his grip until a wet 'crunch' like sound emanated from Creeta's neck and his body went limp. With a grunt, Tundra tossed the still twitching body away and resumed his vigilant watch of the world below. Suddenly a pained moan from the other end of the room drew Tundra's gaze away from the ruined world and towards a small, near skeletal figure lying chained to the wall. The Alien warlord blinked at the figure before he slowly sat up and approached the figure, his footfalls echoing slightly in the near empty chamber.
The chained figure flinched with each footstep that brought Tundra closer and tried to press itself against the wall to put as much distance between itself and the towering being.
"Such a pity of what you've become" Tundra said as he came to a stop before the figure and stared down at them with a blank look on his face.
The figure's once luscious red hair had long since fallen out, exposing a withered old scalp lined with faint scars. Their emerald green eyes had also lost their luster, now being nothing more than milky white orbs slowly rotting away in the figure's eye sockets. Even the once mouth watering body of the person had ceased to be, leaving nothing more than winkled old skin lined with scars and age.
Without uttering a sound, Tundra crouched before the shadowed wreck of what was once a extremely beautiful woman and quirked his head to the side as he stared at the ruin of their face. Tundra had no way of knowing if the state of their face was a result of the countless times he's caved it in during a fit of rage or from the extreme old age they were suffering, being kept alive through the use of bastardized medical practices and perverted magics the infamous warlord has come across over his long years of conquest across the stars.
"Tell me Maxima, when you first stood before me, defiant to my rule, did you think you'd end up like this?" Tundra asked, curious to see if his once favored plaything was still capable of speaking.
It's been decades since he's last heard a word from the once mighty ruler of Almerac, but Tundra had always thought it was a result of the woman losing her will to live and being unable to to do anything else except exist. Though occasionally he's seen glimpses of what he thought was some spark of defiance in her milky eyes. Admittedly it could've been the literal fires he caused whenever he killed a would-be assassin or a incompetent soldier, but a part of him liked to think that some part of the warrior Queen remained inside this dried up old husk of a woman.
Perhaps he was wrong.
With a click of his tongue, Tundra reached out and gripped Maxima's chin and with a simple flick of the wrist, snapped her neck and let her limp body fall against the wall.
"Perhaps it doesn't matter anymore" Tundra said as he stood up and wiped his hands clean of the skin flakes he acquired from Maxima's withered body "Creeta, take this out of here would-"
Oh right, he just killed him... great, now he has two bodies he needs removed. And he'll still have to deal with the spies he sent to Artica when they get here since the now dead Creeta won't be able to since he's now deader than a corpse.
"I really need to bring my impulses under control" Tundra sighed as he began to make his way to the massive entrance to this room to retrieve someone to come and clean up the bodies.
And find a new somewhat competent underling to issue non essential orders to. No that he thinks about it, Creeta might've been one of the last he could afford to use for such purposes and have eliminated if he ended up displeasing him.
"Mmm, note to self, work on lashing out" Tundra chuckled to himself as he stepped out of the dark room and into a brightly lit hall filled with armored soldiers running to and from their next duty stations, the barracks, mess hall or armory.
The moment Tundra's foot touched the floor outside his room, everyone stopped and froze as their master slowly exited the room, his tail twitching slightly with each step he took. Tundra looked around the hall with an unreadable expression on his face before his eyes landed on a young Saiyan warrior that defected to his faction some years ago, apparently he was exiled from his home after some scandalous affair with a married woman that apparently ended with a few murders and a kidnapping.
"You" Tundra pointed towards the Saiyan, causing him to flinch.
"Y-Yes my lord?" the Saiyan said, his body shaking under the weight of Tundra's gaze.
"I have bodies in my room that need to be disposed of. See to it before I return or I'll use you as a sparring partner next tie I'm bored" Tundra said as he turned away from the Saiyan before he could even respond and began to make his way to the ship's bridge.
It was time to move his fleet to their next conquest after all.

And done.
