Beerus yawned, sitting up with a grumble. Whis was by his bedside, smiling.
"Rise and Shine Lord Beerus. You've had a pretty long sleep."
"Not long enough." Beerus grumbled, "What was up for judgment? Earth?"
Whis kept smiling. "There is no more Earth sir."
Beerus' ears twitched. "What? No more Earth? What happened?" it wasn't that big of a shock, the planet really seemed to attract unsavory attention, still he never liked it much when his plans didn't turn out how he liked.
"It was destroyed as well as the whole system it was in."
"Then we will move on to Glaeris. Bout time those Frost Demons got what was coming to them."
"They are gone too."
Beerus' ears went back. Okay now that annoyed him. He had been looking forward to that one. "Who or what did them in? Did Frieza kill off his own planet"
"Oh no. Frieza has been dead a while… It was a charming fellow… His name escapes me... He's been going around all over the place killing everything in sight."
Beerus jumped out of the bed. "What?! How many has he killed?"
Whis held out his hand and counted on his fingers a few times. "I would say… Sixty percent of Universe 7 is now destroyed and several trillion lives have been lost."
That was almost the entirety of his universe! "Whis did you wake me up?"
"I did sir. I am… Becoming concerned he may find his way to your brother's universe if this keeps up. He could potentially wipe out all life."
Beerus hated having his naps intentionally disturbed but he was finding his very job being threatened even more unsavory. If there was nothing left, how would he be a god of destruction?
And the fact Whis was showing 'concern' over the universe was the most troubling of all.
"What do you suggest?"
"Kill him of course."
That was too much work. "I have a better idea. We are going to make him someone else's problem. Whis, start gathering the Super Dragon Balls."
Whis sighed. "It would be much easier to just kill him, sir."
"Nonsense. Go get them. We will wish him to a different universe."
In no time at all, Whis had gathered most of them. Whis was capable after all. Beerus yawned, grooming himself a moment before putting his hands behind his back.
"So King Kai. Repeat everything to me again."
"He is called Perfect Cell." King Kai's voice rang in his head, "He killed my best pupil Goku, his son, everyone who could have possibly defeated him. He even killed me!"
"He killed you?"
"He blew up my whole planet!" King Kai yelled, "The guy blew himself up in a hissy fit then didn't die. He's an artificial being that has the powers of Frost Demons, Namekians, and Saiyans."
That was a deadly mix. Even Beerus had to admit that. "Did he kill Majin Buu?"
"He did! It's a good thing you woke up because he could have potentially become even stronger than you. So what are your plans?"
"I'm going to send him to another universe." Beerus said simply.
"That's it?"
"No. In a year's time Whis will gather the Super Dragon Balls again and have him reverse everything this Cell has done."
"So then… I will finally be free of Goku? He keeps eating all my food it's annoying!"
That did sound annoying. "Yes. Every planet he destroyed, every person he has killed will be brought back. It will be like what he did never happened."
"Awfully generous of you."
"Well I can't be a god of destruction for a universe that has almost nothing in it, can I?" Beerus snapped.
"Er, yes of course! You are quite right!"
Whis appeared then, the last Super Dragon Ball in tow. "Here you are Lord Beerus."
"There is of course the fact you will be dumping this guy into the lap of someone else." King Kai spoke up again, and Beerus rolled his eyes.
"I will not just be sending him anywhere. I will be sending him to a place where he will die. I just won't be doing the killing."
"... Isn't it easier just to kill him… Oh no… Oh no no no!"
"Stop yelling you are giving me a headache." Beerus snarled.
He stopped though. He felt it. He turned around, looking down his snout at the being that had been turning his universe into a graveyard.
"What do we have here?" 'Perfect Cell' looked between Whis and Beerus, a smirk on his face.
"This is interesting. I can't feel you." Cell flew a little closer through the void of space, "I noticed planets moving. So I followed. Tell me, what are you doing?"
Beerus snorted. Cell was strong but nothing compared to him or Whis. Especially Whis. He had no idea why Whis was so worried about this fly. "I'm getting rid of you. I do not appreciate someone stealing my work."
"Getting rid of me? Please. Nothing can stop me." Cell looked among the 'planets', "Ah… I see. Dragon Balls. I have not had to deal with those for a while." he lifted a hand, like he was ready to destroy one.
As Cell's ki spiked, Beerus's ears went back. Ah…. that's how it was then. He lifted his fist and coughed, getting Cell's attention. "You don't want to do that."
Cell rose a brow. "Oh? And why not?"
"You really are going to pass up reliving your most glorious battles? Even pass up ones you never had?"
Cell stopped then, his hand lowering just a little. "My most glorious battles you say?"
"Goku, Gohan, Majin Buu. What if you could fight them all again? And then some?"
As Beerus expected, Cell's smirk spit into a vile grin, his eyes sparkling. "I am listening."
"I am getting rid of you. But you won't be dead. I'm dumping you somewhere where you could lose. Don't you miss that thrill? The thrill of a challenge?"
"Beerus what are you doing?!" King Kai asked loudly in his head.
"I will be sending you, Perfect Cell, into a timeline where Goku, Gohan, Majin Buu, and even Frieza live. I did some asking around, and the Supreme Kai of Time has stated such a timeline exists." Beerus looked at his claws a moment, "Even you are there."
"I am there?"
"Yes. Imagine fighting yourself. The only one who could match your 'perfection'."
Cell finally lowered his hand, his arms folded over his chest as he smirked. "Very well. Wish away."
