Hey, you guys! Buddy J here! As promised, I present to you the third chapter. It took me some time but I still managed to finish it. Though near at the end, where it comes to a particular fight scene, I rushed it a little bit just because I wanted to get this chapter out of the way, allowing me to proceed to the next events that will follow up. But all in all, I hope this chapter is to your guy's liking. Before diving into the story, I'd like to address a few matters in the "Review" section:

Guest 1 (Ch. 1 Review Jan. 26, 2021): "Hm. Not bad of a chapter, I'm left with the question on why there's two fusions? They pulled from separate timelines or are you just having them as their own characters. Something tells me that you're taking a different approach on Salem's origin. Because it's sorta confusing how Beerus and Whis know about Salem but not of the Brothers abandoning Remnant, then again you could argue that they met her before she united that army to go against the Brother Gods. I don't know. Still none the less I'm really interested on how this story unfolds."

ANSWER: For Gogeta and Vegito I have decided to use them as their own characters. This means that they are not Goku and Vegeta, which could bring some things like pairing (but honestly, I don't really know about that one?...)

steel bal runner (Ch. 1 Review Oct. 4, 2020): "i like the idea also is gogeta and vegito desendits or what"

ANSWER: No, they are not descendants, but are their own characters as said above.

G (Ch. 1 Review Oct. 5, 2020): "That's interesting, but why Gogeta and Vegetto instead of Goku and Vegeta?"

ANSWER: Again, because they are their own characters.

phamquocdat25122002 (Ch. 1 Review Sept. 3, 2021): "what took yah so long"

ANSWER: Well, to be straight with you, I was just super lazy not wanting to write a chapter which lead to the story on a six month hiatus.

MadEkar (Ch. 2 Review Sep. 4, 2021): "Can't wait to see her response to Beerus arriving. Looking forward to Ozpin and the crew. Maybe even have Beerus hunt down the two Gods and question why they abandoned their duties?"

ANSWER: Your idea sounds plausible. The thing is, if I do that, it might ruin the plot of RWBY. I plan to keep the plot canon with minor changes. Plus, I have a few ideas for future chapters concerning the two Gods.

TO EVERYONE ELSE: Thank you all for your honest reviews. I'm always up to take on your criticisms on the chapter if something doesn't seem right.

So please, enjoy yourselves. Happy reading!

A HEATED GATHERING

"Long time no see, Salem."

"L-Lord B-Beerus!..."

Standing tall before the Queen of Darkness was a being of infamous prestige. One whom she recognized was way out of her league. She was as if a small prawn in the deep blue ocean. Who would've thought the day would come that Remnant would meet its demise? Obviously, not her. Sitting on the ground while cowering in most adamant fear, with beads of sweat which were plainly seen, she could only gaze into his eyes. Those eyes reminded her of exactly what happened in the past, nothing but chaos and destruction. Her plans of gaining the relics were going smoothly until he decided to show up. Was it fate's plan to withhold her from doing what she did? Or was it pure coincidence? You might say that she's merely a puppet being controlled in the grand scheme of things. But for all that mattered, the Destroyer God was here. In her presence. Face to face. Salem had always prepared for the worst, but she never expected such a godly figure to come at the wrong time. Who could blame her? It's Beerus, after all.

"You know…" Beerus spoke up in a monotone voice, "It's not very polite of you to just be sitting there, now is it?" He had his hands held on his hips with his head tilted slightly to the right while looking down on her. The look on his face was disgust and annoyance to the pity Salem.

Realizing the tone in his voice and his facial expression, Salem quickly crawled across the floor before kneeling at Beerus' feet. This act was that of respect, respect out of fear. "F-Forgive me, m-my Lord!" She paced her breaths, "For a weak person such as I knew not of your unexpected coming! Please, have mercy!"

At first, he only looked upon her bowing figure. After seeing the actions of this petrified woman, he could only laugh. His laughter echoed throughout the Conference Hall. While Salem remained in a prostate position, making eye contact with the floor, Beerus cross-folded his arms as he closed his eyes. "'Have mercy!'... you say?"

The desperate Queen felt her whole world turned upside down on the emphasis of those words. She had suddenly gasped for air, perhaps hyperventilating at this state. The minor headache began to creep back in slowly. She knew very well to choose her words wisely so as to not provoke the divine being. Maybe she chose poorly this time? Silence there was for a space of twenty seconds until the Destroyer had continued speaking.

"Yes, yes. You are correct." It seemed her intellect was put to good use, winning over her Lord's favor. Hearing Beerus speak, she managed to control her huffing and puffing, as well as subduing the slight headache in her head, so it wouldn't cause any small disturbance. "You are correct because it is right for small fries to beg for mercy. After all, the weak obey the strong. Don't you agree with that, Salem? If not… Then I'll just have to-"

But because of the dire situation she was in, her intellect proved too much for her. Not constraining herself, she immediately got up straight and looked up to meet with the Destroyer's golden eyes once again. She suddenly blurted out, "N-No, my Lord! P-Please don't misunderstand! I-I-I fully agree with everything you-!"

If she thought she had won over Beerus' favor again, she was dead wrong. What she saw exactly was a wildly flaring purple aura that protruded from the cat's bony, yet dignified, figure. The godly aura seemed to have enveloped the whole room with everyone inside it. She was in the wrong for suddenly interrupting Beerus.

"Who said you could just simply interrupt my speech?... Huh?" Disturbing one's speech is considered rude, especially in the face of the Destroyer. Beerus' tone was now more deeper and sinister than before. Salem could see she had just provoked the Judge of her soul.

Lost for words, she couldn't make up for her blunder. She only saw those evil eyes that once again permeated inside her. Her body was frozen in place, yet she was terribly shaking. Then, Beerus, who was enraged, commanded her with such authority, "Lower yourself."

In that moment, she let out a notable squeal before prostrating herself, with her eyes set on the floor again. But this didn't seem to fix the still ongoing anger of the Destroyer. "Lower..." Again, he commanded. Obeying to his orders, Salem bowed lower, with her forehead touching the floor. But still, this wasn't enough to calm the impending wave of doom upon her. Beerus crouched down his upper body, hovering over Salem's, "Lower..." Though she wasn't looking into his eyes, she could feel the heavy aura above her. With that third order, Salem completely lowered herself to which she was seen striking a cat-stretch pose, with her arms fully extended out, her lower body further back, and her face squished to the concrete surface. "Good." That was all she heard.

With that, Beerus regained his usual self as his aura depleted. He stood tall again with his arms behind his back as he closed his eyes, perhaps trying to find inner peace. Realizing the intense burden was now gone, Salem wondered how she was still alive. But even so, her body couldn't stop trembling. She swore to herself to be sure not to make another blunder that could inevitably spell death for her and all of Remnant. While she was still in a state of dread, her pupils only grasped the situation they were in. Why exactly was this happening to her was their thought. She was the Queen of Despair, the Ruler of Darkness, wasn't she? So why would she fear such a being whom they don't know of, less say whom they held no high regard for? Silence again rang through the Conference Hall, until a fellow junior decided to break it up.

"My Queen! What are you doing?! What's the meaning of this!?" Tyrian Callows held high respect for the one whom he served most dearly. He's the type of person that would do anything for his one and only. He didn't mind killing if that's all it took to further the goals of his Master. If he had failed to perform a simple task given to him, he'd have no hesitation taking out his frustration on something or someone. A true psychopath. But here he just couldn't understand what Salem was up to. This somewhat infuriated him. Furious not because of Salem's unexpected turn of behavior, but more so because of the way she was being treated by this unknown stranger. The other members of Salem were feeling the same way Tyrian was. Such madness and anger were boiling up within them. Especially young girl Cinder. How quickly did they forget about the display in power which Beerus showcased to the terror-stricken Queen.

Hearing her disciple speak, Salem couldn't help but feel all the more embarrassed. This was not the way she was supposed to be seen in their eyes. She was meant to be a leader, a figure of power that opened a way for her pawns. Feeling them staring down on her frail, weak body, she wanted to shut them up. But she knew otherwise. Answering Tyrian's furious comments, Beerus openly reached out to him, "Oh? Now that I'm here, I forgot there were other small fries hanging about. Let's see…." He then proceeded to count the total number of each of his opponents with his index finger. Each of them had a very irritating facial expression when they heard those similar words, 'small fries'. "Four… Five… Six! There are six of these idiots." Gaining death glares from each of them, Beerus ignored the group as he motioned his speech to the Dark Ruler. "I assume they are none other than your peasants, right, Salem?" The purple cat made sure to emphasize the word 'peasants' clearly for all to hear.

Being sure that Beerus got to finish his sentence, she quickly responded so as to not delay his patience, "Y-Yes! Lord Beerus! It is as you say." This probably brought a surprise to the pupil's faces. Was it true they were merely her instruments? Well, in the situation that Salem is in, they dismissed the thought of being second-hand used parts. They knew Salem had answered out in fear of Beerus, where disagreeing wasn't an option. But in truth, they really were her little chess game.

Cinder who was blazing with anger only watched on along with Emerald and Mercury behind her. "Madam! Get a hold of yourself!" Mr. Watts exclaimed aloud, "Are you not the Ruler of Grimm Beasts?! The one who strikes terror into the hearts of Remnant!?"

Hazel too backed up his companion, "With all due respect, Mistress, you must stand! Just who do you think that thing is?!"

Referring to Beerus as a 'thing' seriously got Salem heated. Though her little servants are trying to boast her, as if to give her confidence to stand against Lord Beerus, she knew that wouldn't be the case. She tried to suppress the urge to shout at them to withhold their tongue. One mistake would be accountable for everything being destroyed.

Turning his sharp gaze back toward the group of six, Beerus questioned them, "Just who do you think I am?" His tone of voice didn't sound very much intimidating. Instead, he wanted to gain a genuine thought on what they think of him. Gripping the floor's surface, Salem saw big trouble was coming. Though, she knew not to intervene but listen to the incoming responses. Each reply to the question was filled with utmost loathing, much to Salem's worries.

First was Arthur, "Nothing but a freak of nature!"

Next was Tyrian, "Some stupid faunus worth severing!"

And then Hazel, "A lost cat that needs his head served on a platter!"

One by one they replied except for the green-haired Emerald and the prosthetic leg Mercury. The Fall Maiden wanted to voice out her words but obviously couldn't, causing her to feel rather pissed off at Beerus and herself. Noticing this, however, Beerus decided to fix her up a little bit. "Seems that one over there in red can't talk, huh? No matter. Whis."

Calling his faithful attendant who was situated next to his side, Whis replied, "Yes, Lord Beerus?"

"Fix her throat will yah? It's quite irritating seeing her mug face look like that."

Beerus earned a little stare down from Cinder who was twitching with fury, not that he cared. "With pleasure, my Lord." Whis then twirled his staff above his head and round about his body as he moved in various directions.

"What the hell is he doing? Dancing?" Emerald pondered.

Mercury joked about, "Just what is an alien male stripper gonna do with that long ass pole?"

Whis didn't hear their comments since he was in the zone. He then pointed his staff toward Cinder, causing it to stop in its spinning motion as well as canceling out his flawless dance moves. Thanks to his angelic powers, a greenish outline color formed around Cinder's body before it suddenly broke off from her into particle chunks and disappeared into the air. Cinder then felt her breathing had become less heavy and easier. The pain in her throat she was used to was now departed from her.

"Emerald… Mercury…" Cinder said while she faced the two, testing out if her voice was back to its normal condition which indeed it was. Salem, still prostrated, and her other lackeys, together with Emerald and Mercury, noticed Cinder's voice had finally come back to her. Cinder didn't know if she had to feel upset or thankful to the one who requested her throat to be healed. She then noticed Beerus' cunning smile on his face, which caused her to forget she was indebted to him for such a thing.

Using her voice to her advantage, she immediately let out her pent-up rage, "You're a lowlife scum that deserves death! Go rot in hell!"

You could say Salem expected much from her subordinates, but it was still troublesome for her. She could just feel the end was near. Now hearing all their responses, Beerus wasn't in the least angry. Of course, he too expected an outcome of rude words. But one thing did upset him though…

"Salem."

"Y-Yes, Lord Beerus?"

"I'm disappointed in you. Really."

If only you could see her squishy face against the floor's surface. Beads of sweat that already crawled down her face were now pouring quickly. Once again, Beerus' menacing voice intimidated her as he watched her bowing figure. The most dreadful words she could hear. Though trying her best not to freak out, she couldn't control herself. She is just inches away from receiving judgment.

She mustered courage with all her might, "W-Why is that so, L-Lord Beerus?"

"Why? Well, it's simple. I am hoping people of this world would remember my name due to the last visit I had with this planet. Since then, my name should've definitely carved out a place for it in history. But even if it didn't, I did have high expectations that you would've introduced me to whoever these delinquents are. But it seemed that wasn't the case as you can tell."

Regret was her thoughts. She has long forgotten about the God of Destruction, but that didn't mean she could get rid of him. The image of his being remained seared into her conscience ever since. It was her own pride that made her forget the very reason why she was still alive to this day. "Perhaps," said Lord Beerus, "I could destroy those pathetic shrimps right here and now." Beerus steadily raised his right arm toward the group of six while his left arm remained behind his back. The group of servants strapped themselves ready, preparing to take on whatever attack. Then he summoned a purple ball of condensed destructive power which was never seen by anyone except Salem herself. Memories of annihilation flooded her mind. The Dark Ruler unintentionally left her prostrated position as she looked back toward her subordinates. At this point, Salem needed a way to prevent the attack from happening. She needed her pawns in order to fulfill her plans. Without them, it would be long progress from achieving what she desired.

While she looked on to her subordinates, Beerus then redirected his open palm with its catastrophic orb toward her which she was now facing in total dismay. The God of Destruction confronted her frightened being, "I guess that wouldn't work though... I can't blame them for not knowing who I am, as, of course, the root of the problem lies with you. Salem."

Again, that voice of malice struck to her very core. Realizing that she wasn't showing any signs of repentance, she quickly lowered her head back into that same cat-stretch pose while she pleaded, "P-Please! Lord Beerus! I can explain!"

"Explain what… exactly?"

"Y-Yes, my Lord… I-It's been so long since I last saw you. Because of that, I completely f-forgot about you!"

Beerus was shocked! Just how far did this woman intend to go so as to humiliate him!? Though that wasn't her intention, she was being honest with herself. Once more, her knowledge was being useful for some wrong reasons. She knew the bald cat could sense her lies when she did, so there was no point in lying. But sometimes, the truth can hurt.

"So…" Beerus said with no sense of hope in his voice. His eyes were covered with a dark shade of black, not disclosing his gleaming eye color. "Basically, you're saying that my very existence is not worthy of being committed to memory? Out of all people, you, Salem?..." At this point, Salem wasn't using her brain at all. She quickly gazed back up to Beerus, hoping to get a chance to reiterate her previous words, "N-No! No! T-That's not true, my Lord! I clearly remember everything from the past! How could I ever forgot about-"

"Silence." Now she's done it. She clearly pissed off Beerus (not like she already has). It's true she forgot about him for millennia. As said, it was her pride that blinded her from him, like a foggy mirror blinding truth with lies from reality. But with the divine entity being here now, her wall of pride was shattered to pieces, which allowed her to vividly remember the events of the past that flowed to mind. Terribly shuddering, Salem remained silent to the order. She then felt Beerus' ominous stare upon her. Besides the dark shade that covered his eyes, only his yellow iris with his black slit pupils was revealed. "You have grown to become a stubborn brat, woman. Nothing more disgusts me than your lack of vocabulary. You first said you completely forgot who I am yet, in defiance of your own words, you try to claim your innocence? A truly worthless speck in my eyes, but worthy enough to be obliterated along with this stupid world."

Without further ado, Beerus was most certainly going to end her life. Salem had no other words to say. This was it for her and Remnant. Tragic scenes replayed in her head, telling her she was going to relive the same fate as those of old. Without any escape route, there was no chance. Of course, she couldn't possibly think about a getaway because all that was on her mind was certain death. How can she escape from an otherworldly being in the first place? Though silent she was but her body kept trembling as if reaching out for help. She didn't want to wither away. While sitting there on her bent knees, as if accepting her downfall, her proteges suddenly burst into action.

"Don't get the wrong idea, bastard!" Tyrian shouted as he launched himself with a strong leap, summoning his blades on both of his hands as his scorpion-like tail stayed ready above his head, preparing to sting the figure's heart like a dart.

"I will not let you lay a single finger on our Mistress!" Hazel beamed with anger, as he quickly injected himself with two Dust crystals (which he had at the time) being Lightning and Fire, greatly increasing his strength, speed, and reflexes for enhanced and precise attacks, as he ran up to him.

"You'll pay for how you treated our Master, dumbass!" Mr. Watts retaliated while he effortlessly loaded his revolver and pointed his double-barrel toward the godly entity, being sure not to miss a single shot.

"Death is very rewarding for a no-life like you!" Cinder yelled as she stood by Watts, whom she disliked very much, nevertheless, summoned her Fall Maiden powers to create a flaming spear that she could throw at the purple cat at high speed and explode on impact.

"Mercury! Emerald!" She commanded her two lackeys as they swiftly obeyed and attended her side to assist in attacking with them.

The Harbinger of Chaos didn't even bother looking on to his incoming enemies as he kept his face set upon Salem, not withdrawing the destructive orb. This time the purple mass became more condensed to a smaller, yet powerful, devastating sphere, which was the size of a marble, and a strong whirlwind lashed about in the Conference Hall, breaking all the windows in it. This had prevented his adversaries from getting any closer to him as well as negating their assault.

Though the fierce winds, which projected from the pressurized marble-like mass, which Beerus controlled, temporarily stalled them from attacking, the group was able to withstand their ground from being blown away. The Big Guy and his fellow psychotic friend were upfront, facing the brute force of this cataclysmic storm. Hazel, who was struggling so much to hold himself down, with one arm in front of his face to block out the piercing hurricane, cried out, "Dammit, this wind! How can he generate this much power to push us back!"

Hearing Hazel over the loud noise of the stormy breeze, Tyrian yelled back, "Who cares! Let's hurry up and save our leader!" The two then pushed themselves forward with all their might. Tyrian used his stinger's sharp edge by placing it in the ground as he advanced against the blowing winds while Hazel dug his foot into the floor with every step he took. Despite this, the closer they got to reaching Salem, the more they were forced to be dragged backward no matter how hard they tried

"What the hell! This is ridiculous!" Arthur exclaimed. He was seen crouching on the ground, trying to stabilize himself. The same could be said for Mr. Mercury. As for Little Girl Em, who was also crouching, she used her weapon "Thief's Respite" to bring forth razor-sharp blades that allowed her to get a hold of the ground by sticking them into it.

"It looks like we gotta try harder than this!" Mercury called out to the green-haired woman on his right.

"You don't have to tell me that!" Emerald responded, knowing the circumstances they were in.

According to what Doctor Watts said, the Fall Maiden was thinking the same thing. Holding on to her spear which she placed through the ground, she was contemplating the situation, "Tch… That bastard! He's keeping us at bay! If we don't make it in time, our Master is going to die! We're coming for you, Ma'am!" Though she had said this out loud, Salem did not hear her, or any of her subordinates' cries as she was still traumatized. Plus, the raging tempest around her made it difficult to hear their voices. Even so, in spite of their futile efforts, the crew of Salem's were still determined to save their Queen.

"We won't let you get away with this!" They all said in unison while battling the mighty gale.

While they were endeavoring in this difficult situation, it wasn't long after that they began to feel the lashing winds subside slowly until the atmosphere in the hall had finally settled. Wondering what was going on, Arthur and the others noticed that the destructive orb which was seen in Beerus' palm had dissipated, leaving an empty hand. Salem was also in a state of confusion. What was he up to? For now, she saw Beerus retreat his hand behind his back. He let out a sigh and then spoke up front, catching the attention of his onlookers, "As much as I want to destroy your despicable existence, I won't do that just yet…."

"Hmm? This is quite strange of you..." Whis thought to himself as he watched his student.

"L-Lord Beerus?... But w-why?" Salem asked genuinely.

"You're asking me for a reason?" He replied in his usual tone, causing Salem's pale skin to crawl. "Very well. If you want to know, I'll gladly explain. Since I just got here, it would be a waste of time for me to simply get rid of you and this forsaken planet. I wouldn't want to go on another long boring trip back to my palace. On top of that, I got two very annoying people to deal with who wanted to see this place. So going back would be very uncomfortable with them bickering around. Do you understand now?" Being 75 million years old, Beerus thought wisely to use his intelligence rather than to just destroy it.

Without delay, Salem quickly responded in reverent obedience as she bowed, "Yes, Lord Beerus!" It seemed she had struck the super jackpot of luck to escape her extinction, which she could not believe herself.

"Besides," the God of Destruction added, "It wouldn't benefit me at all if you people of Remnant were to know who I am and I wouldn't have known otherwise. Where is the joy in that if they don't know who their Destroyer is?" Beerus always favored playing with the hearts of weaklings which made for great entertainment. Even if the population didn't know who he was, it could make for some fun to smite anxiety upon them.

"There will not be such joy you seek, my Lord."

"Exactly… Now then, "I will be spending some time on this world so I'll be somewhat curious of the changes that took place over the last thousand years.

"But Lord Beerus," Whis intervened, "Before, you weren't at all that interested in Remnant. Why the sudden change?"

"I know what I said, Whis. Call me a liar if you want, but I guess this planet has some things to offer in my stead. But first thing's first! This calls for a-"

"HEY!" One shouted from across the hall. It was Cinder and the other bystanders. "AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING!" Of course, Salem, feeling nervous, didn't know what to do since her minions were very angry. She understood their loyalty to her in that they wanted to help her be relieved from her burden.

"Huh? What do you losers want?" Beerus replied to the group nonchalantly in total annoyance. He had his eyes closed again, not bothering to stare them down as if saying they are just insects, while he plucked out the wax in his ear.

"Don't mess with us, you damn idiot!"

Not stopping them from their onslaught, Tyrian and Hazel charged up to Beerus at full speed, zig-zagging across the floor. Tyrian leaped in front of the purple being as his pincer-like blades were reaching inches to slice his face. Hazel disappeared as he rapidly reappeared above Beerus' figure, going in for a straight powerful fist to the face. Watts and Cinder at the back as supporters quickly got their weapons ready, engaging his gun as well as enhancing her already highly dense flammable spear for her use.

"Emerald! Back them up!" Cinder commanded.

"Yes, Ma'am!"

The deadly woman known as Emerald Sustrai swiftly aided the two fighters in that she quickly got behind Beerus, pointing her two revolvers to the back of his head.

"NOW DIE!" The three shouted.

"You fools! Stop!" Salem yelled but to no use.

In response to their attempts, the Destroyer God simply said, "Man, if this ain't already tiresome… Such fruitless performance."

Suddenly, a blinding blur appears in the midst of them. Intercepting the trio's attack, an open hand that appeared out of nowhere speedily grabbed Tyrian's face with a powerful grip. "Huh!?" He gasped. His killer attack was nullified as he felt his whole weight being forced backward, eventually his head being planted heavily into the cement floor, causing him to gush out a certain amount of blood.

"What!?" Everyone erupted.

In the few seconds that were spared, they realized a certain individual who disrupted their coordinated attack. He wore some strange attire - a blue gi overall with a blue sash around his waist, along with an orange undershirt. He also wore white gloves and white boots with a yellow-colored sphere earring accessory on each ear. Before Hazel or Emerald noticed, this person pushed himself upward with his hand which held tightly to Callow's face. He did a mid-air backflip before leveling up with Hazel who was coming in with all his momentum behind his fist. "If you're gonna get in my way, I'll just have to pummel you to a pulp!" While he was still coming in hot, the person then spun around quickly before landing a devastating kick to Hazel's jaw, so powerful that a distinguishable *click* could be heard. This kick proved to be excruciating as the Big Guy was sent flying like a torpedo toward the three in the back as he landed against the wall. There, he was stuck, laying in a crucifix position. He struggled to breathe as blood dripped from the side of his lip. Despite his semblance of "Numbing Agent" which helps to minimize pain, this was beyond severe.

"Hazel!" Cinder and Watts shouted.

"What just happened!" Mercury said, staring in dumfound awe.

The attack was impossible to perceive because this person was very fast in his strikes. With Hazel out of the way, Emerald thought quickly to end Beerus' life. "I guess it's just up to me now!" She clocked in her revolvers, with her fingers already on the triggers, as she got ready to fire repeated rounds. Without her observing though, the person who got rid of Callows and Rainart stood behind her. He had shifted from mid-air to the ground in an instant. "I'll end it here!"

"Emerald! Behind you!" Her Master roared.

"Wha-!"

Before she could turn around to face the person, this mortal placed his arm around her neck before leaning it upon her shoulder. "Sorry, Miss, but… That's a dangerous weapon you're holding there." He leaned in his face to hers and gave a small smirk, much to her discomfort. Pushing him away while taking a few flips back, she redirected her aim toward the fellow, "I'll blow you to bits and pieces!" She began to let loose, shooting all her rounds. But what shocked her most was that this guy was able to dodge each of her bullets, as if dancing around like it was nothing. Unfortunately, she ran out of shells to fire. "I-Impossible! How were you able to dodge all that!?" Emerald's revolver is known to have a very high fire rate, shooting rapidly so that it could clear a number of Grimm beasts in a moment. Realizing all her bullets have been avoided with ease, she noticed that not a graze was left on the person's skin either.

Not paying any attention to her question, he sneered, "Did you say something?"

Twitching in indignation, she said, "Damn you! Don't make light of me!" Emerald then switched her revolvers to melee, showing off her sharp, razor-edged blades. Extending her serrated sickles with a chain, she swung ferociously toward the said individual. But once again, he dodged each swing. Deciding to end this mess quickly, he grabbed hold of one of the chained blades and yanked the green-haired woman toward him before landing a clean knee to her stomach region, forcing her to cough up blood. In addition to that, he gave a heavy karate chop to the neck which made her faint before slamming into the floor.

"Emerald!" Mercury blurted out. "Why you!..."

"You'll pay for this!" The raging Maiden spat in anger. She clenched her spear and ran up toward the stranger with Mercury by her side.

"Though I'm in no position to say this... I'll back you up!" Arthur aimed his 20-round double-barrel gun ready so he could spray down his enemy. But he didn't pull the trigger... A *thud* was heard. Turning their heads behind them, Cinder and Mercury saw Mr. Watts collapsed to the ground. A little bleeding was seen running down from the side of his head. Great, now it was only the two left standing on their feet.

"That useless doctor! What did you do to him!"

"Me? I didn't do anything, I swear."

Not expecting the answer they wanted, they proceeded to charge forward without delay. But before any one of them could reach him, another individual stepped on into the scene. He had teleported in front of the two fighters, halting them in their paths while they took a few steps backward. Facing his challengers, this second person said, "Not so fast you guys. I'll be your next opponent."

This was someone else besides the first. He also wore somewhat similar clothing compared to the other in that it was strange - a black open vest, showing his muscular build, with yellow padding, wearing a dark blue belt and black wristbands, together with white genie-like track pants and blue-strapped black boots. "Get out of the way!" Mercury said in anger, hoping to reach his friend who lay unconscious. "Didn't you hear me? I said I'll be your next opponent."

"You're all so damn annoying!" Mercury shouted as he was the first to step up to the plate. He ran straight forward to the second man. While it seemed Mr. Black's enemy wasn't in the mood to fight, he saw him tossing a pebble rock in the air with an unimpressed expression on his face. He was able to close the gap, jumping in the air as he raised his leg above his head, preparing to land an ax-chop strike to the skull. As he was coming in closer, in a split second, the moment the pebble rock was tossed in the air, the stranger then flicked his finger against the little stone, causing it to shoot at blinding speed, getting a direct hit to Mercury's chest. This sent the young man skidding back across the cement surface, leaving a trail of blood on it, before laying side by side with Doctor Watts' unconscious body.

"Mercury!" Cinder yelled.

"Don't worry. I made sure not to hit his vital organs with that, just like with Mr. Moustache guy next to him."

"So it was you!" The Fall Maiden then got in on the action and began swinging her spear. But this wasn't working in her favor. Creating a sword, she tried to slice his limbs off but to no use. "Stop dodging you, damn coward!"

"Sorry, but I'm getting pretty bored now. So if you don't mind…" The buff person quickly appeared in front of her, placing a palm on her stomach as he unleashed a shockwave that traveled throughout her body. This made the tempered Maiden fall on her knees before face-planting on the floor.

"You know, you didn't have to be that harsh on her, Gogeta." said the individual behind the person addressed as Gogeta as he walked up to him.

"The same could be said to you, Vegito." He replied back.

Cutting short of their conversation, Beerus said, "I didn't ask for your guys' help. I could've handled it on my own, you know."

"Huh? And who said that you could have all the fun?" Gogeta questioned him.

Not denying his partner, Vegito also agreed, "Yeah! You're no fun if that were to happen, Beerus."

"Again! It's LORD Beerus!"

"Yeah, yeah…." They both replied while dismissing their hand in the air.

"You two little runts!..."

While in the midst of their talk, Salem was contemplating her thoughts upon her little shrimps. "They were all annihilated in an instant… Those two! Just who are they?" Perhaps she was scheming in her head a plan to use the two Saiyans to her advantage to gain her goals. Who knows?

Grabbing her out of her thoughts, she heard Beerus' cold voice, "Salem."

"Y-Yes, my Lord?"

"As I have said, I will be spending some time on Remnant. You could say a vacation. So in the meantime, I want you to be of good service to me. You think you can handle that?"

"Most likely, Lord Beerus!"

"Good. Ahem…" Readjusting his voice, "First things first! Let's clear up this mess and have a big banquet in this hall!"

Vegito couldn't be any happier, "Haha! Now that's what I'm talking about! My stomach hurts from the lack of delicious food!"

Gogeta was just glad they could finally eat, "To be honest, even though we just ate an hour ago, watching everything that happened from the start made me hungry."

"Do not worry, Lord Beerus! I'll get right to it! Please, make yourselves comfortable in those seats!" She directed them toward the seats which were allocated at the black-amethyst table.

They then sat down, Vegito and Gogeta sitting opposite of each other in the middle of the table with Beerus sitting on Salem's seat that oversaw the long marble counter as Whis stood beside the Destroyer.

With a humble bow, Salem said, "I will bring to you all the best dishes Remnant has to offer! Please wait in the meantime!" Now that one ordeal was over, she was faced with another huge task: Finding the perfect dish so as to not cause godly entity's anger to rise again.

Hey there! You finally reached the end, huh? As you could tell I did rush the end here a bit. But with that being said, please review your thoughts on how this chapter went. I'll be looking forward to it! (Quick side note: I didn't bother re-reading this as it is too long. I might come back and edit it if there are some mistakes. If not I'm just gonna leave this note here since I'll be too lazy to even bother removing it).

WORD OF THE DAY/NIGHT: You are a unique person. Do not let negativity throw you down. Like a "foggy mirror blinding truth with lies from reality," always be positive and never let the negative get a hold of yourself. For you are "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14).

Stay cool everyone! See you around!
