Waiting in front of the crystal ball, Sidra remained silent, with her arms crossed, as Rô circled around the table.

" Damn it! How long are we going to wait? They should have answered a while ago. "

" Don't worry. " Assured Honest, eating meat. " With his power Akame can kill anyone! And Run could help him escape with his wings! They are the perfect duo for this mission! And then, with my son, Goku will soon be a distant memory. "

A little isolated, Mojito seemed to be looking at the ball on his scepter. Then suddenly he smiled.

'' Me, I just wonder how our universe will do if something happens to our warriors. "

" What ? "

" If our warriors get killed, we'll only have eight warriors. "

" No problem. " Honest assured. " All you have to do is resurrect them again. "

" I think we'll have to do that. " Sidra asserted, while her crystal ball was still extinguished. " They must have been killed. "

" And shit. " Rô cried.

However, at that moment, the crystal ball lit up.

" What … ? " Sidra wondered. " Run-san? "

However, to his surprise, he caught sight of Beerus' face.

" Beerus ? "

" Oh, good evening, Sidra! Strangely, I would have bet that these assassins had been sent by Quitela. "

" What does it mean ? " Wanted to know Ro.

"Come on, both of you know exactly what I'm talking about ! So like that, we have fun cheating before the tournament! This is not good! Sidra, how can you have the bad idea to send members of her team? What do you think I should do with it? If I destroy them myself, you will be unable to resuscitate them! And if you have no replacement for your team, your team will be disqualified! What a pity ! "

" What … ? "

" I admit I have no proof against you but, you yourself have hurt yourself! See you soon ! "

Then the image of Beerus disappeared.

" And shit. " Cried Rô. " We are doomed. "

Looking at Honest, he cried out.

" Great your plan! We're dead now. "

" How could I know myself, that there would be another god of destruction! And you didn't tell me he could kill without giving his victims a chance to be resurrected. "

" And what do we do now? We can't come with a team of eight. "

" How would I be? "

Suddenly, Sidra placed her hands against the table. Getting to his feet, he cried out.

" Why did I listen to you? "

Having spoken angrily, he silenced the other two men. Then he cried out.

" Mojito ! How much time do we have before the tournament starts ? "

" Three hours. "

" Three hours… that corresponds to forty-five days in the divine dimension! We don't have a minute to lose! Mojito, you formed the original team! So you know what other people were strong enough to have a chance to be a part of it. "

"Yes, indeed. "

" In that case, go get Wave and Tatsumi for me! Take them to the next world and get two more warriors for me! They must be trained quickly! Train them to improve them! Train them day and night. "

" Okay, Sidra-sama. "

But before leaving, Sidra cried out.

" And put this fat idiot back to me where Ro found him. "

" But it's a pleasure. "

And before Honest could say anything, Mojito pointed his staff at him and he vanished to return to the underworld.

Both being on the ground, Tatsumi and Wave were exhausted. Yet both boys were smiling.

" That's it ! It took us six months! But now we have mastered this technique. "

" Yeah! With her, we can win this tournament. "

" I am unfortunately not sure. "

Appearing, Mojito stood in front of the two boys and taught them.

" Run-san and Akame-san will not be able to participate in the tournament. "

" What? What is this story ? "

" It's about their mission! They failed and are now unable to come back here! Suddenly, two other people are needed to replace them! Dex other people! But the tournament starts soon! No matter who we choose, they will never be powerful enough to replace them. "

" We will have to do with it! Come on, let's go now. "

Being teleported to a rocky wasteland, Wave asserted.

" Back to hell. ""

" It's scary to die. " Tatsumi remarked.

" Don't worry, if our team loses the tournament, you'll be sure not to go. "

" I'm not sure that's good news. "

Suddenly descending, the trio arrived in a place devoid of any trace of life, not even a guard.

" Even for hell, it's very quiet. "

" This place is the hell of loneliness! All the beings who are here are far from each other so as to never cross paths with anyone during eternity. "

" that is the worst punishment. " Tatsumi asserted. " Who did we come looking for? "

" That man. " Mojito asserted, pointing to someone with his staff.

Solitude. Solitude. Solitude.

Sighing, Bols showed his boredom. Since his judgment, he had not seen or heard anyone. He had been put here, in a deserted world. He knew he deserved a punishment like that. Be forgotten and stay here, rehashing his mistakes and all the murders he committed. Nevertheless, he would have given anything, just to be able to see the faces of his wife and daughter again.

"Kije! Logue! I miss you so ! "

" Bols? "

Startled, the man almost uttered a cry of amazement. There were people in front of him. And one of them was one of his old comrades.

" W… Wave-kun? "

His eyes widened behind his mask, he finally stood up, though he couldn't believe his eyes.

" It's ... Is it you? Is that you, Wave? "

" Yes ! Bols! Ho… How are you? "

'' What are you doing here, Wave? I… How did someone like you end up here? But wait… you don't have a halo. "

" Bols, I'm not dead! I just came to get you. "

" What ? "

'' Do you want to leave this hell and come with us? "

" What? "

" Our universe will be destroyed? And have you been training for nine years? "

" Yes ! That's it ! And now that Run and Akame are unable to fight with us, we need you; "

'' Me ? But ... I would be incapable of it, Wave! How could my potency increase in just two months? "

" You may not be able to have the level but you will be able to touch and make a filler. " Mojito asserted, being a little too frank.

Looking at him, Bols asked.

"This guy… is he really an angel?"

" Um yes ! But hey, let's forget about it and get out of here ASAP! I hate this place. "

" W… Wait! If I come with you, will you let me see Kije and Logue! Even if it's only for a minute! I just want to know how they're doing. "

At that moment, Wave froze. Seeing him do it, Bols questioned him.

" There is a problem ? "

" Euh, Bols, I ...! Kije and Logue… they are dead. "

" What? "

Finding himself in heaven, Mojito took the trio far from the underworld. But despite this Bols remained silent. He had just learned of the death of his wife and daughter. Wild Hunt had killed them. They had taken advantage of his absence to attack the two girls.

" Bols…" Wave started. " I… I am so sorry! If only I had protected them… Kije and Logue… they would be… they would be… "

" It's not your fault, Wave. " Simply said Bols. " If I hadn't been weak in the face of Night Raid…"

Squeezing his oing, he cried.

" Dragon-balls… do they exist for real? "

"Yes, why ? "

" In this case, I must win this tournament! Included Bols! For my family. "

Thinking about it Wave couldn't help but be pessimistic. Would dragon balls really allow them to formulate the wishes of the whole team.

" Maybe we should wish we had our own dragon balls. "

" Hum? " Wave wondered, looking at Tatsumi.

"Even if we all wish, what would we do if one of our friends died again? We won't be able to resuscitate him! So why not wish to have our own dragon balls on our planet? "

" That could have a big positive side. " Affirmed Mojito. " However, imagine what a person like Esdeath could do with the dragon balls. "

" Maybe this is a bad idea. "

Stopping the quartet found themselves in front of several building that looked like a seaside resort.

" What is that ? "

" The VIP area. " Taught them Mojito. " This is where the people who have done heroic deeds in their lifetime reside. "

Immediately, the trio saw several people walking near them, with halos on their heads.

" All the people you see here are the heroes of their home worlds. "

" Heroes ? "

" Tatsumi! "

An arm wrapped around her neck, almost suffocating her, Leone snuggled up against Tatsumi.

" How are you ? "

" Leone nee-san? "

The boy was surprised. Until now, they had only seen souls in Heaven. It was the first time he had seen a real person.

Pinching his cheeks, Leone began to pull them while smiling.

" You still have your little kid face! What are you doing here ? Don't tell me you ended up dying too. "

However, looking at the man's skull, she saw nothing that looked like a halo.

" Are you not dead? How did you manage to come here? "

Saying nothing, Tatsumi just hugged her.

" Leone. "

" Hey, easy! I have the impression that you have gained in muscles. "

Then she heard him sob.

" Leone! Leone! I am so happy. "

" Tatsumi? "

Opening his eyes, the boy turned to see the other members of Night Raid, in front of him, with halos on their heads. There were Bulat, Scheele, Chelsea and Lubbock.

" Guys ? "

" It's up to you to choose who should be part of the team. " Mojito taught him.

" So, have you understood what I expect from you? "

Being in the divine dimension, Sidra was with Mojito, in front of the two substitutes of his team: Bols and Leone. Both had now left the Hereafter and their teigu had been returned to them. However, Bols immediately raised his hand.

" I understood what this tournament consisted of! However, there is a problem with me. "

" Which ? "

" Killing is prohibited! And I can't use my teigu without killing my opponents. "

" Don't worry about that ! The tournament opponents are not like the ones you have encountered! They are much more resistant Your flames will only burn them and not kill them. "

" And me, can I fight with all my strength? " Wanted to know Leone.

" Given your level, it wouldn't be surprising if you were the two weakest people in the tournament! So, yes, I strongly encourage you to fight to the maximum of your ability! Another question ? "

Silence.

" Very well Sidra roared, before concentrating! The training begins! I will fight you nonstop and Mojito will be there to heal you! Try to improve in the meantime. "

All universe participants have permission to return to their planet, three hours before the tournament begins

(Universe 2 - 3 hours before the tournament)

Eating a huge feast, Toriko was back on Earth, with the almost complete team. Only Starjun, Midora and Joa remained to train until the end.

" Komatsu, again. "

" I am here . " The boy retorted, as he sat next to him, his head flattened against his head.

" A problem ? "

" Your tournament starts in less than three hours and I'm so stressed that I can't even cook! How do you manage to be so fearless? "

" Bah, for us, we've been preparing for ten years! So, it's been a while since we stopped worrying. "

" You are amazing, guys. "

Sighing again, the boy rummaged under his clothes, before handing her something.

" Take this ? "

" Hum? " Toriko wondered, seeing him show her his knife.

" Weapons are allowed, right? Take it ! We never know. "

"I don't like to fight with that. "

" It's to be with you. " Komatsu retorted. " We are a duo and I want to fight by your side. "

At first surprised, Toriko ends up smiling at him, before taking the knife.

" It's OK ! I hope you will be strong enough to support me. "

(Universe 3 - 2:30 before the tournament)

" GUM GUM KONG GUN ! "

Getting hit by Luffy, several robots were ejected and exploded. The few machines still standing had just registered Luffy's movement. Still, they couldn't what to say.

" Analysis of the fight… Loading data… Improvement impossible "

After ten years of training, the robots were now unable to compete with Luffy. Their ability to improve was not enough to reach the level Luffy currently had. He destroyed them by the dozen, in a single blow.

" Yosh! This time, I'm ready. "

(Universe 4 - 2 hours before the tournament)

" Sensei. " Cried Genos, wiping the furniture with a rag.

" Hum? " Saitama asked, eating a packet of crisps, while watching TV.

" How do you manage to be so relaxed? Are you not afraid to beat? "

" Do you think I'm going to lose? "

" No that's not it ! It's just… save an entire universe, it's scary, anyway. "

" Why think of the negative? Genos, the first rule, if you want to become like me, you have to stop thinking like this! If you think about defeat, your mind will not be focused on the battle and you will lose! If you think about victory, you will win. "

Having heard this speech in a video game, he had just repeated it while wondering if Genos was going to be less afraid.

In an instant, the cyborg sat down at the table and jotted Saitama's speech in his notebook.

" It's noted, sensei. "

Sighing when he saw him do it, Saitama finally turned off his TV. Then getting up, he moved to his closet and took his yellow outfit.

" Hey, Genos! Do you mind doing a jog before this tournament? "

" With pleasure. " Cried the cyborg.

(Univers 10 - 1 hour 30 minutes before the tournament)

Raising his glass in the air, Makarov cried out.

" For the victory of Fairy Tail!

" Health. "

Jura had gone to Lamia Scale, while Jellal and Cobra had gone where no one really knew. And for the members of Fairy Tail, they had all returned to the guild, waiting for the tournament to start.

Sitting on the bar counter, Kusu had a drink in his hand and just watched the warriors savor a moment of bliss, before heading to the void world. Still, each of them was partying, as if being back here made them forget the fear they might feel once in front of the other teams.

(Univers 12 - 1 hour before the tournament)

Whistling, while making tea, Inko declared.

" Tomorrow, I'll go do some shopping at the grocery store. "

" Mom ! "

Startled, Inko almost had a heart attack as she saw Midoriya behind her.

" Izuku? What are you doing here ? "

Then, seeing that her face was covered with scars or other injuries, she cried out.

" Izuku! What happened to you ? Who hit you? "

Just smiling, Izuku asserted.

" I'm not staying long ! I just wanted to see you before I left!. "

" Go ? What do you mean ? "

Suddenly Deku hugged her.

" Izuku ? "

" I would protect him. " Suddenly assured the boy. " I swear to you that I would protect our world. "

" What … ? "

Then, gently pushing her away, the boy finally ran and left the house.

" Izuku. "

Too late. The boy was gone.

Walking through the streets, Midoriya ends up stopping when she sees two people.

" Yo, Midoriya. " All Might cried.

" How did your improvement go? " Wanted to know Gran Torino.

Just looking at his hands, Midoriya finally looked at All Might, before asking him.

" Can I ask you a favor? "

Being in a plain, far from the city, All Might and Midoriya were face to face. Standing on a rock, Gran Torino announced.

" This is a fight to become the holder of the universe 12 team! If Midoriya wins, he takes part in the tournament, as planned! If All Might wins, he will replace him! You are ready ? Start! "

Immediately, using their Quirk, Deku and All Might let the muscles in their limbs grow larger before they pounced on each other.

" ONE FOR ALL … "

" UNITED STATES OF MATCH ! "

" 1000000 % DELAWARE DETROIT SMASH ! "

Punching their fists, the two fighters create a shock wave so powerful that the area was ravaged by a shock wave. Protecting his face, Gran Torino nonetheless felt himself pull back and eventually flew back.

(Universe 9 - 15 minutes before the tournament)

being meditating, Sidra finally heard a sound of teleportation behind her back. Mojito was there, with the full team. Officially, Run and Akame had been replaced by Bols and Leone.

" The tournament will start in a quarter of an hour. " Affirmed the god of destruction. " Do you feel ready? "

Just smiling, Esdeath asserted.

" I could never have waited another year. "

" I am both excited and scared. " Wave confessed.

" I know that I am part of the substitute duo. " Leone asserted. " Nonetheless, I would do my best. "

Just nodding her head, Sidra finally said.

" I count on you all! Save our universe. "

(Universe 7 - 5 minutes before the tournament)

Appearing in front of the rest of the team, Frieza and Goku had appeared, with injuries.

" Dad ? " Gohan wondered. " What happened ? "

" It has been almost three hours that we wait for you. " Krillin remarked.

" We had some problems! Enemies have attacked us. "

" Enemies ? " Piccolo wondered.

At that moment, Beerus threw Akame and Run's unconscious bodies at his feet.

" Apparently, Universe 9 went so far as to send fighters from its own team to try to kill Guku and Frieza. "

" Universe 9. "

" Hey, Whis. " Cried Goku. " You were the one who said Universe 9 had the lowest level. "

" Indeed. "

" To be honest, these guys were pretty good! Especially the girl! With her power, she could have killed me by touching me. "

" Why did you bring them to my place? " Bulma cried.

" It's Goku who didn't want me to kill them. " Beerus growled. " According to him, far too many people had died because of Frieza. "

Looking at the white alien, Vegeta smirked, while declaring.

" Compared to before, the opponents that Frieza can kill are becoming rare! It's normal that they want to have fun with second-class fighters who are more or less at their level. "

" A sort of … " Growled Frieza, with a vein in his forehead.

However, he eventually regained his smile, while affirming.

" We will resume this discussion after the tournament. "

" So, it's decided for good. " Whis remarked, looking at each of the fighters in Universe 7. " Our team will consist of Goku-san, Vegeta-san, Gohan-san, Piccolo-san, Tenshinhan -san, Muten Roshi-san, Krillin-san, C-17, C-18 and Frieza-san. "

Then looking at his staff, he cried out.

" Why everyone hold hands and form a circle! We are going to leave. "

" What? " Bulma frightened, while she remained alone with Yamcha. " What about these two? What are you going to do with it? "

" Don't worry ! I knocked them out. " Beerus assured. " They won't wake up for a while. "

Then, they left to participate in the biggest tournament ever.
