Chapter 202: The Gauntlet thrown down by God, Mark of Divine Passion!

As Ben and Lacus were eagerly catching up with friends, they were unaware that more of their friends were catching up for more formal matters...in a galaxy far far away, albeit one the two were quite fond of. The place was the capital planet Corneria, and the building of this gathering was the White Castle Outer Haven, the capital of the Lylat Kingdom.

One of the individuals is sitting on a giant white throne, he had sightly tan skin, with a mix of blond and spiky red hair. He was clad in a regal white and blue attire, with a blue cape, a golden crown that looked like a odd eye, and a golden puzzle that was adorned to his neck that had the same eye, the mystic Millennium Puzzle. He was the monarch of the Lylat Kingdom, Atem Lylat, and at the moment he was looking at many data files simultaneously.

However the sound of his throne rooms doors opening caused him to look up and smile. For the two that entered were some of the individuals he trusted most of all in the entire universe.

The man on the left was a man in his twenties with red hair and hazel eyes, clad in blue and green robes that were worn mostly by the Enji Knights. This man with glasses was James Elrond, one of Ben's close friends and part of the former Squad 7.

To James's right was a much older man clad in white, blue, and golden armor. This man with a beard was the leader of the Enji Knights, Grand Master Rodimus Myers. As the two Enji Masters bowed one of the King's guards, the female knight in white armor named Corrin bowed to the warriors of light. Ah welcome Enji Masters. The King will see you as soon as we go though the usual precautions. Alm, Celica, please start the scanners."

Atem chuckled before he stood up from his throne to motion to his guards."Don't worry about that Corrin, I'm rather sure they are not impostors or anything of that sort. Master Myers, Master James, I hope your well today."

Myers chuckled before responding with a warm,"The ache in my joins are being rather unruly but nothing to fuss about. My apologizes if we interrupted anything."

"Not at all, just going over a few reports to prepare for a chat with Ansem and the other members of the Subcommittee after lunch. Other then that, just going over the reports about planet Faykreed dealing with the after math of that sudden supernova. That was a close one, it was a bit troubling that if not for the luck of Ben and Lacus being near by a entire planet would have been lost."

James pushed up his glasses before reacting with a analytical,"Ah so you heard about that? Good we can skip through some of it. Ben and Lacus were indeed able to save Faykreed thanks to his power and her magic. However, the fact remains that if not for a miracle, the population of a entire planet could have died on our watch, we have to make sure we are not caught by surprise like that again."

Atem's eyes turned solemn before he leaned forward."No arguments here. We will try and upgrade our weather satellites to get more precise data quicker. Still, we need as much data as we can to know the root of this problem."

"I been working with Doctor Light, the Cid's and the others on that your highness. For now, it seems their was a surge of tachyon particles detected in the core of Faykreed's sun. That, is not normal to say the least. However, it is something in common with other regions of space that also have a surge of abnormal particles since Chaos Zannacross Necron nearly reformatted all reality.

From the Omega asteroid base in the Sahrabarik system suddenly becoming unstable, to the lands of Valentia 's weather suddenly changing from one season to the next in the brink of a eye, to the previously stable Bajoran wormhole suddenly becoming unstable, we are getting reports from Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway that it flung the star-cruiser Voyager to a entirely different part of the universe. Its easy enough to spot the problems caused by theses tachyon anomalies once we are aware of them, the problem is finding out to be preemptive on it.

"Indeed, even with all our resources, finding a anomaly anywhere in the universe is a substantial effort without god like foresight. It would seem that the Supreme Being did not bring forth a perfect restoration of the universe. But I suppose a imperfect one is better then nothing. Speaking of the divine, have the celestial ones and Cosmos said anything on this matter Master Myers?"

"They have said...a few things."The elder warrior of light answered as he stroked his beard."They are more then willing to send some of their specialist to help seek out corrupt areas, but those like Gabriel, Metron, and the Supreme Kai have implied that more or less the Supreme Being, or the One Above All, normally does not interact at all, he intervened because the situation was just that dire.

They hinted that, the errors may be a way to keep us on are toes, so we don't lax our guard to much. But, they also hinted that, theses anomalies are a result of when the realms were restored, some of the realms intersected. In other words, theses errors are a result of two dimensions overlapping in ways. "

Atem just chuckled as he stood up."More or less, he wanted to make sure we did not take are miracle for granted eh? I suppose it was Cosmos that's suppose to be the benevolent one. Very well, if this is a test to prove we can stay the path then so be it. At the very least, holes to other realms have existed for a very long time, this is just another way of dealing with it.

Regardless of how hard it will be, it won't be enough to keep us down. As long as we make sure we never forget what we fought so hard for, I hope we will be able to stay the golden path."

James noticed one of the monitors King Atem had on was showing Ben blasting back the supernova on Faykreed before a surge of confidence flashed across his face."Well, at the very least it seems the efforts Ben, Lacus, and the rest of us have been doing have been substantive.

It would be arrogant we have things set, but at least things seem positive for now. Just hope, Ben does not overdue it. At least for him and Lacus, there is no excuse to be in a rush."

"Well, its been a year since we talked in person but I've heard from Benjamin Sisko that your friends just have landed on Deep Space Nine around now. If things went as planned many of your former comrades like Megaman X, Zelda, Samus, and many of the others all arrived as well. Most of them were doing their own travels, but they all made time to catch up with Ben."

James looked at the sky as melancholy formed in his eyes."I hope Ben and the others have fun catching up, I know despite the front he puts up it must be difficult constantly going from one planet to the next with only a few weeks a year to catch up with friends and family.

I wonder if there will be enough time to contact Deep Space Nine and send a transmission? I could ask him to get me data on the Bajoran Wormhole at least, should be a snap compared to some of his missions.

I wish I could meet him in person but...business before pleasure. Among other things, Katie's mind is nearly all about having a child as of late. After seeing Cloud's kid, you could say she got "infected" with the drive to have her own kid. I admit, I'm not sure I'm at the place where I'm ready yet.

Still so much to do, and despite the peace we are in I am not sure I'm in the place where I want to bring a child into this world. You can blame that on old family anxieties I suppose. Still, Katie is seeing this with a far less complex viewpoint. The heart wants what it wants I suppose."

Master Myers saw the hesitation in James's eyes before he chuckled and jabbed James's side."The wife's bearing down on yah eh James? I know full well how big a responsibility it is to be a parent.

And while it is something you should only do when your ready, I would advise not to wait to long James. I myself waited longer then most to have children. I told my wife, and myself, that it was because their was so many things that had to be done and that it would be best to have children once things are not settled.

But I realized to late that there is never a ideal time, that at some point you got to trust your instincts. Some times, I wonder if I had children earlier, if I was more attentive...maybe my sons would not have died how they did. Maybe..."

James, Atem, and the others got alarmed as Myers suddenly winced and coughed violently. James instantly grasped the older Enji."What's wrong?"

Master Myers slowly stopped coughing before grinning weakly."Don't be alarmed, just got to emotional I suppose. Its my fault for easing up in my regiment, I suppose with our world, our society at last being mostly one of peace, I have been a lot more time to reflect as of late.

At last, I'm starting to feel my age. After the war I wanted to make sure I stuck around to insure the next generation had laid their foundation. At last, it seems they have. I suppose after being over a hundred, I earned that right."

James tried to not let his worry creep into his face before he blurted out a coy,"Come now Master Myers, the founder of the Enji can surely have a bit more to him eh? With the right magic your not at your hour of twilight yet."

"James, as smart as you are, you know full well that no matter how much one masters magic, it does not make one immortal, not without going to the lengths that Xehamaru took at least. As skilled as I am the fact remains that I don't have Master Zoda's life span, my time will come like every other human. That being said, I'm not going to drop dead tomorrow if I have anything to say about it.

I still have things to do yet, things to see. I'm just saying, I think now would be a good time to start thinking seriously about my will. Don't be sad James, we fought to make sure death was a part of life yes? Besides, with how frequently we talk to the celestial ones it won't be that different."

Atem could not help but chuckle as he walked up to the two Enji."True enough, it was difficult to say good bye to Simmon last year, but he earned his rest. Death may be a part of life Master Myers, but we will do what we can to make sure your death is not painful, you earned it. I hope at the least you can hang in their to personally see the Enji Knights help guide the universe to what you and your comrades envisioned the order could do."

"Well, I'd like to be optimistic as well Atem, but I'd say its highly likely that not everything will be settled by the time I pass on to the next world. But that's ok, I'm at peace with that. That's because I know I can count on James, Ben, Ezan, Lacus, and all the others to guide the Enji, to guide the people of the universe. I know Ben can inherent my will."

Atem looked confident before retorting with a eager,"He and Lacus seem to be on track so far, they earned the down time at Deep Space Nine. Well, we can theorize till sun down but there is still work to be done. Oh right, James, Master Myers, before we go on, I just would like to know if you could confirm a few questions about the most recent location of the Zodiac Pinion. Their have been, a few troubling reports as of late."

The leader of the Lylat Kingdom proceeded to talk about other affairs. As they did, they did not realize the occasion Ben was attending was not as carefree as he would have liked thanks to the three unplanned guests.

Despite Q's flippant behavior and the dirty looks Beerus gave Ben and Lacus, they let the group go on the tour without much interference. After the group finished their tour of Deep Space Nine they were directed to the banquet hall, were a large feast was prepared for them.

In the banquet hall a few more friends were waiting for them, Sonic's friends the two tailed flying fox Tails, the red furred Echidna and guarding of the Master Emerald Knuckles, Mario's long time lover, ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom Peach Toadstool, the greedy, pudgy man with a wild mustache named Wario, and Link's cherished friend the brown haired woman who was the welder of the Tri-Force of Wisdom and the current leader of Hyrule, Zelda.

Ben,Lacus, Hiryuumon, and Moz were eager to catch up with their friends. To their relief, Beerus seemed content mingling and eating, even impressing the others by dancing vie spinning around rapidly on his head. After hearing how the others were doing Ben played a few games with the group, holding back to let some of the others win to spread the cheer.

Lacus saw Ben win a dart throwing contest against Deep Space Nine's chief medical officer the tan skinned male Julian Bashir. As Ben won the deciding throw Bashier's friend, the stations Miles O'Brien laughed at the outcome before bellowing out a jolly,"Glad someone could beat Julian in a real game Auro, just took someone even more special then him!"

Lacus was sitting with Peach, Zelda, and Samus on their own table and laughed at Ben's reaction. The ladies around them saw how happy Lacus looked before Zelda smiled."Glad your looking more relaxed these days Lacus. I admit I was worried the celestial ones gave you a burden that could be overwhelming.

I admit, I've been raised to be a princess and a diplomatic my entire life but while I've never regretted doing what is needed to help my people, there are times when it felt overwhelming. Even with my added duties as a member of the subcommittee, Link and I still don't travel from planet to planet as frequently as you do."

"Its a high paced work schedule to say the least."Lacus responded with a wink."But we have made a system out of the whole deal so, we are use to it. I guess, the pressure does not feel as immense when we know we have time, a lot of time. "

Samus chuckled before she leaned forward."Glad you and the kid have a system worked out. That being said, hope its not to routine either. I'm glad you guys are proving your such a good couple and all, but...well...how you guys avoid getting bored when its just you two in a ship most of the time? I mean, guess I'm not one to judge since I'm still single, just curious."

Lacus glanced over to see Yoshi and Hiryuumon arguing over who eat more between them before she giggled."Well, thanks to using clone magic at times its not just the two of us so, we can pull off some fun games."

Samus flicked her hair out of her eyes before uttering a deadpanned,"I guess. I don't know, I guess after being cramped in the same place for to long I figured people would have ran out of surprises."

Lacus looked down and grasped her crystal necklace fondly."Its fair to think that Samus, but Ben's creativity surprises me again and again and, we keep discovering new things about each other, new ways to have a good time. Ben has no intention of me getting bored, and I don't have any attention to make him bored of me either.

I guess, cliché as it may be...when you love someone you go through life together. I mean, that's not to say every day is perfect or that there are no boring days. But, I guess any long term job gets a little repetitive right? I guess...its been important to learn how to make the most of it."

Peach finished sipping her tea before smiling."Oh trust me dear I know all to well what that's like. I got kidnapped by Bowser so many times that it became routine. I admit, something's felt missing since Bowser reformed but, I gotten use to it."

"I know the feeling Peach, there is a bit of a dullness when that rush of suspense does not creep down every so often. While at times that feeling was exciting, I experienced first hand what happened when I focused to much on that rush." Lacus suddenly had many memories of her former boyfriend, the sadistic psychopath Brad Fowltror, flash through her head."The trade off was to great," Lacus uttered somberly as she grasped her arm." I'd rather not be in such a unstable place for as long as I live, regardless of how long that might end up being."

The other woman grew somber as they realized what Lacus meant. Ben's girlfriend had a few more of the traumatic memories Brad caused her to flash by. However she saw Ben walk by and wave to her before she smiled warmly back at him."Heh, the stable warmth Ben provides me more then makes up for any set backs.

I know, that despite whatever may be unknown, it will work out because I'm with him. Just got to find out a way to keep things from getting stale, but we been talking with the angels about how to deal with longer life spans. Heh, I know how to deal with making sure today does not get stale at least. More drinks please?"

Lacus held out her glass before a male Ferengi, a humanoid male with brown skin, ears extended to nearly be as long as his head, and a wrinkled nose walked up to eagerly refill her drink. He then chuckled as he went to Samus."Free refills on the house! Special hero discount!"

After refilling the ladies drinks another Ferengi went up to him and muttered,"What are you doing Quark? No one's more loaded then ladies like them!"

Quark just glanced back at Lacus to see her smile before he turned around and snickered."Its ok Ron, it may go against the Rules of Acquisition, but for goody goods they are ok. After all, I was their when that Lacus gal met with the Grand Nagus. She respected our customs enough that she met him naked! She and the savior really did not care as long as all we did was stare. Heh...being able to see that is more then enough to cover a few missed tips. Now, that weird cat that seems out of touch, that's another story!"

Quark was about to go up to Beerus before the man with the title of God of Destruction saw him coming and gave him a glance that made the Ferengi freeze in his tracks. He then gulped and swerved around."Then again, he does seem to have a glare that beats out Odo and Worf's combined. Eh, maybe later. Hey, you, still up for that deal?"

Quark went up to Wario before the native from Mushroom Kingdom stroked his mustache and looked around before whispering."If you can seal the deal, I'll make sure that the Ferengi get exclusive deals for the Wario Shake and Smash show!"

"That's a deal worth in latinum, its a deal!"

Beerus saw Quark and Wario leave before he chuckled and munched on some sushi using chopsticks."I'll have to hand it to the mortals, at the very least this seems like a amusing time to be alive. Those so called Enji Knights look like a bunch of naive idiots to me. Never the less,the food at least lived up to the hype.

Ah food, for as much as people let you down again and again, the taste buds can't be lied to. More then makes up for those two mustached humans daring to think I would like those gaudy cat suits. They looked so disgusting I nearly lost it. Thankfully...that's when the food came."

Whis chuckled before retorting with a wry,"Told you waking up was worth it. I suppose the credit goes to Q for this."

The celestial one from the Q collective heard Whis and smirked."I do seem to know what everyone wants, even grumpy relics."

"Watch your tongue Q,"Beerus growled out as he narrowed his eyes."just because its been a while don't think I will allow you to forget who ranks higher if you keep with that mouth! Bah...just because my purpose is not needed at this point in time it hardly means I'm useless!"

Whis just sighed before throwing out a dry,"To be fair to Q, you saying your the best at your job is like saying the best record DJ player."

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"Oh right, you slept through that to. Do you ever read my memos? Anyway, I'm just saying its entirely possible you would be a lot less grumpy if you decided to go through with the offer Cosmos made to get a new purpose in life. I heard Galactus got a lot more chipper when he went from being the destroyer of worlds to the "life bringer".

"Bah...Galactus was always a bore. I don't think I saw that giant doofus smile the entire time he had the job. Unlike him I have pride in what I am, and am not going to give up my identity! Bah...the food may pass but none of the posturing theses so called hero's have done has sold me that mortals are going anywhere. I mean this band of idiots are the champions? Half of them look like toys!"

Beerus saw Ben talk with Sisko, Sonic, and X about the showdowns he had in the space time anomaly Zannacross had created before he sneered. He then glanced to the left and saw a bunch of pudding cups that caught his eye. He licked his lips and went over to try one before he saw one go up, and go into Kirby's mouth.

Beerus saw Kirby was swiftly devouring one snack after another before he walked over and cleared his throat."Puffball would you kindly hand over that pudding to Lord Beerus?"

Kirby was enjoying his meal to much to respond and just kept eating. Whis saw how content the pink hero was before he smiled."Ah one for me to please!"

Beerus had his eye twitch before he threw out,"I can understand if you can't spare two so I'll just take one."

As Whis pouted Beerus went to grasp a pudding. As he did Kirby widened his eyes and reflective grasped the snack back."Hey theses are all my dessert mister!"

"I'm aware of that but surely someone of your, structure can afford to share one? Especially to your superior? "

"Hey just because you say your a big-shot it does not mean you can steal my food!"

Whis chuckled before throwing out,"He may not look like it but these Popstar denizens can be quite the gluttons."

"I don't care if he can eat all the food a planet has, that's still no excuse not to share! Especially to a superior! Someone of your small stature has no right to hog all the snacks, so hand over that pudding over right now you midget blob!"

At this point Ben, Lacus, Q, Sisko, and the others were starting to notice the argument, but Kirby was just focused on his food before he looked determined." A lot of people tried to take my food in the past and they all were sorry! You don't even look as tough as half of them! I can eat all the pudding just fine!"

Kirby then showed off just how well he could eat as he inhaled, and sucked in all the pudding on the table into his mouth. Beerus felt rage consume him as veins begun to form on his forehead."Puffball...your going to regret not knowing our place! Their are consequences for denying a god!"

Kirby just jumped on the table and threw out,"I thought jerks like you were not suppose to be around anymore? Either way you better apologize for being rude! I've eaten bigger jerks that refused to apologize!"

Kirby started to inhale again to attempt to suck in Beerus. This was the last straw for the cat faced man, and as Beerus felt Kirby's saliva land on his foot and felt some pressure try to suck him in he hissed like a cat."You dare to try and devour a god of destruction!? Its clear the current world lacks discipline! If you idiots don't know what respect is, then I'll teach you to respect your superiors, the hard way!"

In a flash Beerus waved his hand, unleashing a surge of power that smashed Kirby into the air. As Kirby was smashed hard enough to go through a solid steel wall Worf saw the act of aggression and growled."I told Quark not to sell drinks to guests tonight! We have a possibly intoxicated guest with a very high power level! Phasers set to stun!"

The Klingon fired a energy blast at Beerus with the intent to incapacitate him. The beam did not effect Beerus at all, and as Worf looked stunned Q just face palmed."Great job thinking things through as always Micro Brain. Well, this is going to be a show alright."

Whis was about to say something before Beerus grasped his fist tightly."Treating me like a common cur? Now I'm mad!"

Ben was nearly in a daze with how quickly the situation escalated. But after seeing the Kirby sized hole in the wall he ran over and tried to remain as controlled as he could before he blurted out a restrained,"B...Lord Beerus stop this now! I'm sorry if Kirby offended you...but I swear he meant you no harm! He is just, very protective of his food! He may have been rude, but nearly killing him was even ruder.

Things may have been different back in your time but, that's now how things are done now! I don't know what you had to drink but I plead of you to calm down before things get, out of hand."

To Ben's dismay Beerus did not calm down, and just got even more enraged."You think I'm acting this way because I'm drunk boy? I'm not drunk, I'm angry! Even if its been life times since I had my purpose I still am one of the most exalted beings in the universe! Lesser beings who don't know their respect will pay the price, including you! I don't care if you beat Zannacross, your still just a mortal! So don't think you can tell me what to do!"

Knuckles was one of the many in the room who was getting annoyed at Beerus, before he got up and raised his knuckles."Get over yourself dude! I don't know what your deal is but, I did not see you do anything during the war! We all worked together to humble plenty of guys like you who thought you were all that!"

Beerus suddenly had a purple aura of raw energy blast out of his body with enough force to blast all the tables around him into the walls. He then had veins form on his forehead before he snarled out,"You were only called hero's because I was not involved in the fighting! And after looking at just what the so called saviors of this universe are, I can say without a doubt that it really was a miracle if the likes of you defeated Zannacross! But if you want to prove me wrong, just try me and we will see who the poser is!"

Mario saw Knuckles growl in rage before he got up on the table."Mamma Mia! This fella has a major attitude problem! C'mon guys its just like when a Bowser got drunk!"

Mario then jumped up and jumped high to try and jump on Beerus. The God of Destruction just narrowed his eyes, and kicked up his discarded chopsticks before in a flash he caught Mario's leg with said chopsticks. The mustached hero of the Mushroom Kingdom had just enough time to realize how effortlessly Beerus stopped him before Mario's target swiftly slammed him to the ground with enough force to knock him into Yoshi and fall unconscious.

As Mario fell Knuckles charged at Beerus to punch him from behind. However the blow did not even make Beerus flinch, and as Knuckles realized how little a impact his blow made, Beerus struck so fast his moves could not even be seen as he struck Knuckles with the chop sticks, striking at his pressure points. Ben grasped his fist tightly as he saw Knuckles gasp before falling down."No, that's enough!"

"No, I'm just getting started!" Beerus growled out as he cracked his neck."You all must face the proper punishment for your transactions!"

Hiryuumon growled in anger before his eyes glowed."You got it all wrong cat face! Your the one who's going to pay for making a mess! If you want to play rough, then I'll play rough!

Hiryuumon, Digivole to!"

With that the golden sphere explodes with a blinding light, and when everyone can see again they see a dragon three times the size of Hiryuumon land on the ground. This new Digimon had long fully grown blue wings and has spikes all over his elbows and knees. As the transformation finished the digimon roared out,"Wyrmmon! Alright, time for your time out! Dragon's Rage!" The now Champion level Digimon charged at Beerus, only for the much smaller being to mutter,"Bad dog."

With a casual flick of the wrist Beerus smashed Wyrmmon to the ground. The dragon quickly got up before roaring out,"Think your a hot shot? Fine I'll have to get serious! Wyrmmon, Digivole to!"

Ben's Digimon pal once more was consumed with a golden energy sphere, and soon emerged as bigger cybernetic version of Wyrmmon with blue and purple colored armor. This new Digimon has blades attached to its arms and has two particle cannons on its shoulders. The metallic dragon roared again before shouting out,"Geno-Wyrmmon! Get ready jerk this is going to hurt! Striking Crusher Claw!"

The Ion engines on the now ultimate level Digimon's back flared up before Geno-Wyrmmon burst right at Beerus. The metallic dragon smashed Beerus hard enough to cause the room to shake, but to his shock his target took the shot without even flinching. As Geno-Wyrmmon looked shocked Beerus got annoyed."Your right, this is going to hurt, for you! What a stubborn mutt,your master groomed you poorly if your this dense!"

Beerus simply jabbed Geno-Wyrmmon right in the stomach, with enough force to cause a shock-wave. Ben saw his digimon partner roar in pain, before the pain was so much that he reverted back to Hiryuumon.

Beerus raised his hand, till suddenly twin beams of green energy burst out to grapple around the purple colored being. Beerus saw that the twin beams came from Axl's pistols. The Maverick Hunter saw his target glance at him before he grinned."Listen here buddy! We have laws now and if you don't respect them your, whoa!"

Beerus casually flicked his arm to throw Axl his way. He then swung his arm so fast that it was just a purple blur, and chopped the next generation reploid's arms off in the process. As Axl gasped in shock Beerus raised his arm again."So your not even a living being? Then I don't have to hold back it seems. If you really fought in the ultimate war for good and evil then I'd expect you to realize that laws have no weight when your not strong enough to back them up! But my personal law of being respected will be enforced!"

Beerus prepared to punch Axl, but his blow was suddenly intercepted by Ben's elbows. Ben was able to stand his ground, but the result made him flinch in pain as the clash caused a shock-wave.

Despite the pain he felt Ben looked at Beerus with raw determination."I don't know how it was back then, but we fought to create a world were no one can just force others to do what they want just because they are stronger!

I won't force you to accept my views, but if you dismiss me, my friends, and what we are fighting for then I sure as hell will fight to defend all that! If I got Zannacross and all the others to see what we were about then I'll be more then happy to get you to see what I'm about to! Your not the first celestial one I had to prove myself to!"

Beerus saw Ben look determined before he sneered."That may be true, but I'm not as soft as the newer generation! I admit I don't always understand Cosmos's logic. However, after all the times humanity has failed, I sure as hell won't let fools dare to think they can talk back to me! Even if things are rosy now, that Leingod punk said the same things you are saying, and it was all just talk!"

Beerus prepared to lash his tail at Ben from the right, but the tail was blocked by a wall of white holy energy. Beerus was shocked to see his punch blocked, and realized Lacus had cast the energy barrier around Ben.

The woman Enji looked at Beerus with determination as she walked up to him."Lord Beerus, I understand that your from a different era, and that you slept while most of us have been alive. I understand your not impressed with what you seen so far. Someone who's seen humanity for as long as someone like you has the right to have his doubts.

However, we all have gone through so much during the war, we want to make sure that such mistakes are never repeated. Its true that for as much as Seyia, Serenity, and the others worked to change things, things did not change as much as they hoped for, that their dreams were dragged down by the reality of human nature.

However we learned from the mistakes that happened that time, and know how to have a decent shot at not repeating them. If you don't have faith in us or our ideals then that's fine, but if you challenge us we will fight back to prove just how much it means to us! Even a celestial one like you won't be allowed to dismiss the dream we all share!"

Beerus glanced at Lacus for a few moments before he snickered darkly."Big words girl, since you have no right to utter such things to the likes of me! You know Whis, I did in fact read some of the memos you left before we arrived, and I read everything related to Lacus Raystar.

That's right my dear, I'm fully aware of your past. Yes, that your the third girl in all of human history to be picked to be the Antitype Apostle bloodline, and I also know your one of those Jinchūriki, right? "

Lacus looked conflicted, but before she could respond Beerus just chuckled."That's right, a hypocrite like you has no right to lecture me. It was, the Blue Eyes White Dragon that was sealed in your body right? Did anyone ever tell you that the Celestial Beasts or whatever they were called were Zannacross's attempt to create replacements for the God's of Destruction after most of us decided we were not on board with his idea. Heh, and it seems even most of his new pets would not obey him since that Blue Eyes White Dragon always seemed to have a temper.

I admit I don't see cases like yours everyday, but someone with as much blood on your hands has no right to lecture your betters!"

Ben saw Lacus look shamed and was rapidly losing his composure."You better watch your mouth, no matter how old a celestial one you are I won't stand for Lacus being talked that way Beerus! You did not see what Lacus had to go through, she..."

Before Ben could go on Lacus just smiled."Its ok Ben, I can see why he is not fond of me. I caused a lot of mistakes in my life, mistakes that caused so much harm. But, I refuse to blind myself to reality any longer, and am willing to do what it takes to repent for my sins."

"The other angels got you hooked good eh Lacus?" Beerus spat out as he narrowed his eyes in contempt."Your shackling yourself to your fear, its holding you back from being honest, but that does sound like the way Gabriel and the others liked to do things. Bah, I eradicated countless worlds, and killed billions in the process, and I don't lose a wink of sleep about it.

You could say I was born to be like this, to purge corruption from existence, but I got over it. The past is the past, you can't change that. If your actions are based on the past, your never going to act for the future and all that. Then again I only really cared about the now, and the now is that fools that only know a few things think they can lecture their superiors!"

Lacus closed her eyes before retorting with a resolute,"I understand you have seen much more then I, and I also understand you and I may not see things in the same way. However, please understand that things have changed. I may be far younger then you, but I seen things that gave me...clarity on what's important. Ben and myself, we seen how to get people to understand each other. And we will not give up so,"

Lacus was cut off, as Beerus in a blur slapped Lacus so hard that she was smashed into the ground and through a table. As Lacus moaned in pain Beerus snarled out,"Enough! Cosmos may be spoiling you but I won't let you run your mouth! No matter what you seen the likes of you have..."

This time Beerus was cut off, as a enraged Ben punched him mid sentence. Beerus was shocked as he realized he was pushed back a inch, and glanced down at the owner of the Star Sword, before Ben growled out a livid,"Despite how rude you were to all of us, Lacus still tried to talk things out with you! And then you just slapped her! I don't care what you are, no one treats Lacus like that! If you refuse to respect us...then we will have to settle things the old fashion way!"

"I was hoping you'd say that, I want to see if your punches are as hollow as your words! So far, sure seems that way!"

"Better watch it Beerus, you poke me to hard and you might regret it!"

Ben swiftly had his own magical energy explode before he dashed at Beerus. As he looked like he was about to strike he vanished into thin air. He suddenly appeared behind his target and unleashed a roundhouse kick. To his dismay Beerus casually intercepted the blow with the same chopsticks that intercepted Mario. Ben was shocked before Beerus slammed him into the ground.

The Enji Knight quickly got back up on his feet only to see Beerus was right in front of him. The God of Destruction looked amused as he flicked his finger, and unleashed enough force to smash Ben into a wall. The force was enough to cause Ben to cough up blood, and as Beerus saw Ben's shock he laughed loudly."Is this suppose to be some sort of farce to get me to lower my guard? Your acting like you have not felt pain for years! What, have you really not felt any pain, any serious discomfort, since you defeated Zannacross? Well, glad I can be the one to end your streak!

Even if you really did save all there is, you did not really think everyone would just suck up to you forever did you? If you thought winning one battle, even the ultimate battle between all good and evil was going to magically make everyone be perfect then your even dumber then I thought. I may have slept through some generations but I assure you I know that without a doubt!"

Ben swept off the blood from his face, and saw everyone in the room was expressing various forms of shock. He saw Lacus looking dismayed before he grasped his fist tightly, and took out the Star Sword from his sheath."Despite what you keep thinking, Lacus and I knew that things were just the start. It may not be easy to unite everyone's hearts in harmony, but we have more to our plan then just blind hope! I dealt with types like you Beerus, types who think they can just crush everyone with raw power!"

"Oh I don't think power decides everything...Ben Auro." Beerus retorted as he made a mocking gesture."But I do think actions speak louder then gestures, and at the moment your gestures are not even making me break a sweat."

Ben got back into a fighting stance before the Star Sword surged with golden light."Keep this up and I'll break more then your sweat, I promise!"

The savior of the universe dashed at the mocking figure in-front of him and unleashed a barrage of slashes that looked like golden blurs. However Beerus casually showcased his speed as in a flash he jumped up and blocked each strike with his foot. The higher echelon celestial one smashed Ben in the face with his tail, but as Ben was smacked into the ceiling, but he was able to rebound and use his magic energy to land on the roof.

He then glanced at Beerus and had his energy surge."Beerus...you may dismiss us, but I'll make you see just how powerful our resolve is! Take this, my anger, my will, all of my sorrow that lead me to this point! Shinning Flare Slash!"

Ben burst downward at Beerus and swung down with a massive energy blade of light. Beerus tried to intercept the slash with the chopsticks, but the amount of energy Ben unleashed vaporized them instantly, forcing Beerus to block the blow with his hand. The blow Ben unleashed was powerful enough to cause all of Deep Space Nine to shake. When the shaking ended Ben saw that he was not able to pierce his target's skin, and Beerus just looked annoyed."

So this is is the extent of the savior's rage?"

Sisko saw sparks come out of some of the near by terminals before he winced."I don't know just how much power you put into that blow, but if you put out any more this entire space station might be ripped apart!"

Ben winced as he heard that before he muttered,"Trust me, this is far from my full power Beerus. However, some of us care about those around us!"

Beerus glanced around before muttering a bored."Oh, you telling me your worried coming at me with all your power might harm your friends? Piff...I'm far from heartless you know. Besides I don't want you or anyone else to be able to make excuses, if that's what you think is holding you back. So, take me to where ever we can go all out."

Sisko winced before muttering,"Normally I would advise duels go to the holo decks, but after this display of power I'd say even after the upgrades it would be overwhelmed rather quickly. To be frank, even the nearby planets would put their recovery's at risk if you two truly unleash a all out fight their."

Beerus started to look annoyed but Q suddenly chuckled before jumping up."Never fear, Q as always has the solution! This is a battle of gods more or less yes? Well such a duel requires a arena fitting for the occasion! And lucky for you all, I'm feeling generous enough to provide one! Mostly because I'd rather not get trashed...but in any case, have your toys scan the right part of the Bajoran world's moon right, about, now!"

Q snapped his fingers, when suddenly everyone saw a flash of light. A moment later one of the still functioning monitors in the room suddenly shifted its view to the red moon, to where a ring the size of a sports stadium, complete with stands on each end and a green barrier of energy was materializing. Beerus saw Q's effort and chuckled."Nice work, think such a battle ground is to small for you hero?"

Ben saw everyone looking at him, before he took a deep breath."No, such a arena is fine. Its the Enji Budokai all over again I guess."

Beerus merely licked the paw Ben slashed before he looked amused."I suppose the more time to digest would be ideal. Very good, then I'll give you half and hour to join me their. Then I suppose everyone will see the extent of the savior's might."

Yoshi shook some dust off his head before yelling out a sour,"Yoshi can't wait for you to be sorry you looked down on Ben! Yoshi and pals have taken down plenty of jerks before, no matter how strong are enemies were nothing was to tough for us when we worked together!"

Beerus just laughed before extending his hand."Well we will see if such team work is enough to overcome a God of Description eh? Don't feel afraid to all come at me at once, I truly do just want to see what power overcame the supreme god of darkness and all that! Come on Whis, lets go to Q's ring!"

Whis, who was not shaken in the sightliest by the brawl that erupted was casually eating this whole time. As Beerus called him Whis glanced over and pouted."But I was just getting to dessert Beerus! Ah well...I'll just take it with me. See you Enji soon."

Whis tapped his wand before he and Beerus promptly vanished. Q saw everyone looking shocked before he casually yawned."Well, I better attend to a few things before the match begins. I, think I can win quite a few bets with this."

Worf snarled at Q before he got right in his face."Damn it Q, you lied again about not wanting trouble!"

"Even for a micro brain like you I expected better. I had no intention of causing a ruckus, that was entirely the temperamental cat. Its not my fault you had rude guests eh? Still, guess its time to see if you can hold your weight eh heroes? If you can't win Beerus over its hard to see how you can make your vows reality some day. Just, food for thought. Now if you excuse me, I have to take a few bets."

Q snapped his fingers and vanished as well. Ben just looked around and saw all his hurt friends before he looked ashamed. Odo saw all of the damage to the room before he walked up to Sisko."Well, I admit I figured their would be some excitement having the chosen one visit, but I did not think it would turn out like this."

Ben winced before he put the Star Sword in his sheath."Neither did I. I'm sorry for all the damage caused to the station Sisko, I swear I'll make sure its all fixed. Lacus, are you ok?"

Lacus rubbed her cheek before she slowly stood up."Don't worry about me Ben, I'm fine. Beerus did not put as much power in that slap as it may have looked. He clearly cared more about "embarrassing" me over hurting me. On that end, the intent hit home. Still...the others got the worst of it and I just hope they are alright."

"Kirby is alright, he is just knocked out." Zelda uttered as she ran over."Still he might be out for a while."

Axl winced as X and Zero brought over his slashed off arms."I'll be ok, that cat just broke my pride."

Hiryuumon rubbed his gut before moaning out,"Don't worry boss I got back from worst then that! But still this Beerus is a real jerk! Kirby may have eaten his food but he still went out of line! Jerks that demanded to be respected because they were strong were what we were trying to get rid of in the first place! This guy is suppose to be a angel?"

Ben pet his Digimon pal fondly before answering with a reserved,"Well he did say he was one of the older types pal, guess its clear now that was not a lie. Rude as Beerus is, can't really deny his power. Once I started focusing, I realized he had more power then Gabriel, Omnimon, or any other celestial one. And, its clear he was far from at full strength."

Link was one of the many who saw Ben's dismay before he grinned and went over to pat his friend on the shoulder,"Aye, the cat man seems to have quite the amount of power. I been honing my ability to sense magical energy, and I admit Beerus had enough energy to him to vanquish a dozen Ganondorfs at once.

Despite that, we been through worst my friend, and we all know you have far more then what you showed him! After all, you hardly were fighting at full power yourself. I admit to a untrained eye you did not even seem to take him to seriously."

"Well, I guess to be honest it was not till halfway through the mess that I realized how serious this was. To be honest, I've been keeping up with my training but its been a long time since I had a fight I had to take seriously. I did have a few spars with Doug, Ezan, and a few others but, its been a while since I had to fight someone with malice."

X looked troubled before adding,"Its, puzzling why someone like that would be spared after Zannacross was defeated."

Lacus closed her eyes before responding with a steady,"I trust Cosmos enough that Beerus was spared because despite his past, he could be trusted. I mean, we all know everyone's past does not guide their heart forever right? Nothing he did was evil per say, just, rude. He clearly only wants to flaunt his superiority, not kill anyone. Still, if he makes people doubt we can deliver on what we set out to do, that could make a mess of things."

Ben winced before he touched Lacus were Beerus slapped her fondly."Well, that would be the precise opposite of what we are trying to do at the moment so, best to not let that happen. Beerus has raw power, but I beat guys who were stronger then me before. Beerus seems to have some basic fighting skill, albeit not on the level of skill Kira had.

He could very well have more tricks up his sleeve, but for now he just seems to rely on superior power and speed. Now that I know what I'm dealing with, I know how to take him down regardless. And I will beat him, I won't let him get away with talking to you like that Lacus, I promise!"

Lacus put her hands over Ben's before she had a rueful smirk."You mean we are going to not let him get away with acting like that to us right? I'm always grateful for you to defend me Ben, but I'm not about to let Beerus think he can just talk to me like that. I've stood by seeing men think that woman should just kneel for them far to long as it is."

"If that's how you feel I'll support you without a doubt,"Ben retorted softly."But its just, your sure your up for a full out fight with him? He very well might be as powerful as the Demon Lords."

"I had to test my limits at some point right Ben? Trust me, Beerus won't kill me. Even if it will hurt, it will hurt more to let him trample my pride."

Ben saw how serious Lacus was before he nodded."If that's how you feel, then lets show up Beerus together eh?"

The two then kissed before Hiryuumon looked determined."And like always I got your back boss! No matter who he is we will show him how strong we are when we are serious."

Sonic grinned before adding a sassy,"You got my back dude! That cat's more fiery then Blaze, but got to show him guys like me can still stay on his level!"

Zero nodded before adding a gusty,"The hell am I going to let that punk treat us like trash! Even if he is the original God of Destruction, the dude has to be forced to see just what today's world is about!"

Ben saw Link, X, and the others around him nod before Ben grinned."Alright then Justice Force, lets iron out how to take down Beerus! We have some time before..."

Suddenly Beerus and Whis warped back into the room. As everyone got tense the angelic destroyer chuckled."Don't mind me, I just decided I'll have more of those, Yoshi Cookies while I wait."

In a flash the powerful feline snatched the plate of cookies shaped like Yoshi heads and swiftly vanished. As everyone looked anxious Ben cleared his throat."Well...first, better clean up things here."

Sisko saw part of the ceiling collapse before he sighed."Yes, that would be very much appreciated"

Ben cleared his throat before grinning to everyone."Sorry the party got out of hand everyone, don't worry I'll make sure its all worked out by the end. For now, Multi Shadow Clones!"

Ben swiftly conjured copies of himself to repair the damage the fight caused. Between the clones and Lacus's magic Deep Space Nine was quickly as good as new, and the group was able to quickly plan how to fight Beerus.

The time to fight quickly arrived, and after everyone got ready they took off on a shuttle to the arena Q put together. Despite the short time, Q was able to get quite a few people to attend thanks to his powerful magic.

However, this transaction also caught the attention of those who were working hard not to be noticed by anyone else in the universe, the Black Swans and their forces. The swan Yabbat observed the shuttle going to the Bajoran moon and just saw it land with a detached look."This, was not expected."

"The combined energy on the moon is enough to be a threat to the operation."Ramlethal added as she closed her eyes." The agents of this universe might be aware of us some how, we should alert the Dimensional Nihilo Generals."

The paler Black Swan just looked at the moon without flinching."We should, but don't tell them to attack just yet Ramlethal. Those like the Chaotic Comedian, Mira, and Prime will be all to eager to fight. However, we should not draw to conclusions just yet...less we give away are position."

She looked behind her, where the giant sphere behind her was starting to glow more intently each second."For now, it seems we just happened to have a threat stumble unto us. But, if we can keep up our work, once it starts they will be helpless to stop us even if they are right in our face. Move as fast as we can, we must make sure nothing interferes with the spinning of the wheel."

The mysterious woman proceeded to keep a close look on those on the moon, making sure no one could see pass the barrier they had over them as they worked zealously to complete their ominous task.

In the meanwhile, Ben, Lacus, and his comrades have all just exited the shuttle and entered the magical stadium Q had forged. With the couple were Sonic, X, Zero, Link, and Hiryuumon. Lacus had changed into her battle suit that she often wore during her missions as a Enji, her white and gold skin tight body suit.

As they entered they saw Beerus calmly eating a Sunday with Whis, and saw many people were already cheering in the stands. As many cheered upon the Enji couple's arrival Ben just raised a eyebrow."Are, these real people or is Q powerful enough to create his own fans?"

Lacus looked around before she gasped."I think they are real Ben, some of them look familiar. Wait, is that Thor?"

Lacus directed Ben to the left, where they indeed saw the blond haired celestial one gulping a drink along with a few other angels Ben knew like Pit the " Kid Icarus" and Dinah the "Wonder Woman". Thor noticed the Enji before he grinned."Ah, Ben, Lacus, good to see you again! I was told by Q here that you were going to conduct a duel with Beerus here! A gutsy move challenging one of the most powerful of the celestial ones, I did not think any mortal can defeat him to be honest but I admire your valor!"

Ben just waved back and chuckled uneasily before whispering a dry,"Well, it may not be this Q's fault but, he does seem like quite the opportunist."

Lacus squeezed Ben's hand warmly before winking."Maybe, but we will just have to turn this around to our favor. Everyone ready? We will give it are all to make the battle plan work, but, depending on what his true power will unleash, this could be painful."

Sonic winked before quipping back,"We an't backing out now guys. As they say no pain no gain, and a little pain is worth it to humble this guy!"

X nodded before adding,"Don't worry about us, we got your back. After going from everything to dying at the hands of Zannacross himself, we gone through most ways to suffer anyway."

Beerus finished his drink, before he saw Ben, Lacus, and the others walk up, and burped."

So you did not run? Well at least your not a coward. Thanks for giving me more time, I admit at the very least this era has some very fine desserts."

Ben kept it cool before throwing out a collected,"Don't think you seen it all, the main course is about to start. Though, this meal you can't eat with your mouth."

Beerus stood up before he sighed."I see your humor is lackluster as well. Still, I take it that your here because you think you can beat me?"

Lacus gave a pleasant smile as she flicked her ponytail back."Guess that's what we will see Lord Beerus."

Beerus saw the confidence in her eyes before he grinned."Being coy with me girl? Its already annoying me that you have so little faith in yourself that you have to get your lover and your friends to help you."

Ben just grasped the woman he loved tighter before he retorted with a confident."I'm not a fool B, Lord Beerus. I admit I got emotional before and rushed in, but I can sense your power.

I'm well aware of how strong you are, and to maximize my odds I'm fighting with the help of those I trust. As powerful as I may be, I only got to where I am with the help of my friends."

"The power of teamwork and all that eh?"Beerus spat out as he cracked his knuckles."Well your without a doubt a different kind of guy then Goku and Vegeta. Better hope your plan is solid or your just going to look like..."

Before he could go on a loud bombastic voice cut in with,"Hey Beerus! When the hell you doing picking fights with saviors now?"

Ben was shocked to see Beerus cringe, and he turned to the right to see the voice came from a humanoid cat like figure that looked a lot like Beerus, only looking fatter and wearing red colored attire. Before Ben's group could react Beerus narrowed his eyes and hissed out,"Damn it all, what the hell are you doing here, Champa?"

Champa just had a devious grin form before he spat out,"All of heaven heard that you picked a fight with the savior, brother! Just wanted to see if you were giving us God's of Destruction a bad name! Besides, I made a bet with Q, with how out of shape you been I'm going to make a killing."

"Is that so Champa? You think I'm the one who's gotten soft with how big your gut is now? Better watch it, or after I finish putting Auro and his pals in their place I'll do the same to you! We were long overdue for a rematch anyway!"

Champa growled, but before he could respond a individual that looked like a female Whis with a green attire walked up and cleared her throat."Calm down Champa, after all I did to get you approved to go to the mortal realm you will regret it if you cause something that would get that revoked you hear?"

Champa winced before he nodded."I promise I won't do anything Vados! But if Beerus starts something I'm going to finish it!"

Vados just sighed before she grasped her staff tightly."We will see, I'll be watching you to make sure you don't grasp for a excuse. Hey Whis, what you think your doing letting Beerus cause a mess? You know how Cosmos's plan is still in a fragile state!"

Whis just chuckled before retorting with a wry,"Oh relax sister! This is all in good fun and all. Can't hurt to push are stars a little right?"

Ben got tense as he saw Beerus and Champa give each other dirty looks before he blurted out,"Wait you have a brother? This, is not going to turn in to some tag team battle is it?"

"Don't worry about any surprises savior." Beerus threw out coyly."Champa and I don't work well as a team, and I don't need any tricks to put you all in your place."

As the God of Destruction gave everyone a dirty look Sisko, Peach, Zelda, and others took their seats in the stands. As the leader of Deep Space Nine looked around at those who had gathered in the audience he saw Q getting comfy in a large chair that he made for himself."Q, just what are you up to with this?"

The sharp tonged angel just smirked as he snapped his fingers to have his attire change to that of a referee."I swear to Q I'm not up to anything, this is all being driven by the God of Destruction's anger. Just be glad your not the one being put on trail today and enjoy the show while I make the best of it. Now, if you excuse me, its time to get this started!"

Q suddenly appeared between the two sides before making a dramatic pose."Ladies and gents, angels and robots, I welcome you to the match of the century! Well, at least the best match since the end of the war. Any-who, on our right we have Lord Beerus, one of the infamous Gods of Destruction, one of the most powerful class of angels!"

Their was some cheers as Q pointed at the purple cat like figure. As Beerus gave Q a dirty look he quickly swerved around to point at Ben."And in this corner we have the man who saved the universe, the owner of the Star Sword Ben Auro! Along side him is the fabulous half human half angel Lacus Raystar! With him...is his slightly weaker friends who call themselves the Justice Force! Neat, and now to the main event!"

As Q stepped back Ben took a deep breath."Get ready everyone, not going to have much breathing room here."

Lacus took out her own sword, the smaller white and blue sword the Oath-Keeper."We had a lot of years to plan things out, I think we got our timing done rather well by now yes?"

Beerus saw Ben smile before he sneered."Hope your prepared well savior, now their will be no excuse when you go down!"

Ben got into a fighting stance before he snapped back a defiant,"I can say the same to you Beerus! Your power is legit, but before this is over I'll make you take me seriously! And now, Ban...kai!"

The brown haired man put his right foot forward and thrust the Star Sword in front of him. From their the many crystal shards in the swords hilt all glowed before a surge of light energy blasted out in all directions.

When the light faded everyone could see Ben's aura was now golden, and the sword had a golden color now as well. Ben's eyes now had a light blue glow to them, and with that glow Ben gave Beerus a fierce look."Alright Beerus, this time its for real!"

"Not bad, I admit that's quite a respectable amount of power for a mortal to have." Beerus muttered as he unfolded his arms."That being said, that still hardly is a kind of power that could have defeated Zannacross! Your going to regret holding out on me, show me everything you have now!"

Ben winced before retorting with a bitter,"Trust me I would love to, but I can't unleash that kind of power now, its...missing. The Divine Mugen Nova, the other part of the Star Sword that let me unleash my ultimate power, is still in the Axis of Time, keeping Chaos Zannacross Necron sealed. Both Lacus and I gave up some of our power on behalf of the stability of all there is."

Beerus had veins form on his forehead before he snarled out,"Still making excuses to me?"

Whis sighed before shouting out,"Cut him some slack Lord Beerus, he is telling the truth. The Divine Mugen Nova and the Golden Imperia Crystal are both currently being used to keel the dimensional borders from colliding into each other and what not."

Beerus had his ears twitch before he growled out,"If you say so Whis. Don't think I'll show mercy just because you made a noble sacrifice. Hell even if you were at full power you could not beat me!"

Lacus suddenly started to glow with holy energy before responding with a fierce,"He won't need his full power to beat you Beerus. Are combined strength will be enough! Even without the Blue Eyes White Dragon or the Golden Imperia Crystal, I still have power within me!"

A surge of holy energy erupted out of her body, before the energy molded around her attired till it took the shape of a white, gold, and platinum regally styled armor. At the same time a tiara formed on her forehead as a helmet shaped like a Valkyrie formed around her. As her armor stabilized, two large white angelic wings sprouted out of her back.

As Lacus landed on the ground Beerus sneered once again."So you have the wings and everything eh? Still, even with Cosmos 's gifts your still no angel. For one you don't have the mind set of a deity!"

Hiryuumon growled in response before he hunched over and his eyes turned to a golden color."I'm tired of you looking down on us! Lacus is more of a god then a jerk like you! By the time this is over we will prove it! Hiryuumon, Warp Digivole to!"

Ben's Digimon partner is then consumed with. When he emerges he looked far more like a much more humanoid Digimon, covered entirely in gold and purple knight like armor with brief dashes of blue and red on it. His face is entirely covered in a near Gundam like helmet with horns like a dragoon.

The energy of the now Mega level Digimon finished stabilizing before he shouted out,"Shinryudramon!"

Sonic saw Shinryudramon complete his transformation before he grinned."Talk about shifting in to turbo! Time to rev it up!"

Sonic then took out a special bag his friend Tails made for him, before he closed his eyes. Seven emeralds floated out of the bag, they were the seven Chaos Emeralds. They surged with light before they circled around Sonic and fused into his body. From their the hedgehog's fur turned a rainbow gold color and he became Hyper Sonic.

Zero then grinned before throwing out a passionate,"Lets do this!"

The green orbs on Zero's chest glowed before he became consumed with a pillar of light. When he emerged he was in the" Perfect" form his creator Doctor Wily gave him after fusing him with Axl and his creation Bass. Now the SA ranked hunter had larger purple and more spiky armor with wings of his own and had his own set of wings.

Beerus saw the transformed members of the Justice Force get in to fighting stances, and saw the others who joined Ben, Mario, Link, and X, get ready as well before he smirked."That power, so the people of Mobius race has managed to ward off extinction eh? And, that elf, no, the swordsmen from Hyrule is using the Tri-Force? I'll give you that you found a diverse group of friends. But that won't save you, no matter how many powers you gather all of that pales in comparison to the might of the true God of Destruction!"

Ben and Lacus got to each others sides before Lacus threw out a rueful,"Guess we will see what legend will hold up after this."

Q then chuckled before throwing out,"Well we got more then enough trash talk so lets get this underway! Team Justice Force VS Team God of Destruction! Winner will be decided by knock out! Begin! The music for the match will be The Incarnation of Devil by famed musician Motoi Sakuraba!"

A ding noise could be heard, before a song played from somewhere thanks to Q's magic. Beerus raised a eyebrow at the random, if catchy battle tune before he unleashed his power and had a massive purple energy aura burst out of him.

He then made a beckoning gesture."Enough foreplay. Time to finish what we started at Deep Space Nine! If you can't give me a good work out your going to face one hell of a penalty for leading me on hero's!"

Mario looked determined before he took out a large yellow mushroom with a face."We a don't grovel to anyone Beerus!"

Mario swiftly munched down the mega mushroom, before he grew to four times his size in a instant. Beerus just raised a eyebrow as Mario also made his entire body become solid metal."You insult me, such antics did not help the dragon, it sure as hell won't help you!"

Mario just charged at Beerus and took out his ultra hammer. His target sneered at the plumbers raw courage before he casually blocked the hammer swing with one finger, and flicked Mario's giant metal body across the arena. As the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom went flying, Beerus produced a satisfied smirk, till he realized that as Mario flew by, Ben flew for him. The divine feline prepared a punch only for Ben to suddenly jump into the air."Multi Shadow Clones!"

Suddenly dozens of doppelgangers shot out of Ben's body and all charged at Beerus at once. Ben's target raised a eyebrow as Ben's surrounded him."

I see you trained the body division magic well, but zero divided by zero is still zero!"

Beerus swatted away some of the Ben clones with his fists and his tail and prepared to uppercut what he thought was the real Ben. However before he could Sonic dashed at him at full speed and punched him in the nose.

The blow did little more then itch Sonic's target, but Beerus got outraged all the same. He instantly tried to kick Sonic in the gut, only to see Hyper Sonic was now surrounding him with after images as well. All the Sonic's stuck out their tongue before one of them yelled out,"Chill out dude, we add up to a lot more then you think!"

Beerus easily blocked Hyper Sonic's punch before countering with a swift kick. As Sonic went flying into the wall his attacker prepared to follow up with a knock out blow, before he felt a surge of power and saw Ben coming down from below.

The Enji Knight's target hissed out and prepared to strike back, till suddenly he felt something grasp his arm. He glanced to the left and saw it was a pink energy ribbon that had come from Lacus.

Beerus instantly went to throw Lacus off with his other arm, before Zero suddenly jumped up and had a tendril shoot out of his free hand and become a heat whip, before lashing out to further bind Beerus.

This held back the God of Destruction just enough to throw off his aim, allowing Ben to complete his attack uninterrupted. Beerus hastily blocked with his other arm, and the impact was strong enough to cause the ground around the purple skinned being to cave in.

As chunks of the ground got blasted upward Beerus realized Ben's blow was able to leave a small scratch on his body. This caused him to narrow his eyes."Sneaky , using your own friends as decoys just to land a blow?"

Ben saw Mario and Sonic both get up before he smirked."The art of war is won by misdirection yes? They were willing to take a hit if it meant taking you down!"

"Don't think just because you made a dent you have any hope of taking me down! Now you made me mad!"

"I thought you were mad already?"

"I meant even madder wiseass! Before this is over you will all have the power of a God of Destruction burned into your soul! Play time's over!"

Beerus produced a roar of pure rage before his energy exploded with such intensity that everyone felt weighed down by its power. Ben and co's opponents then had his eyes glow before dozens of spheres of purple light materialized all around his body.

His opponent's braced themselves as Beerus swiftly unleashed his salvo of energy projectiles. Ben and his clones tried to evade the assault, but as the orbs dashed forth they bounced off each other like they were giant billiard balls and Ben evaded one, only for another one to ricochet off the ground, then bounce into another to smash Ben in the back.

As the projectiles continued to ricochet off each other, and get faster as a result, most of Ben's shadow clones were blown away in seconds. Lacus tried to protect her and the others but the blasts were so powerful that she got knocked back.

Her attacked bared his fangs before going to attack her, only for his blow to be blocked by Shinryudramon and the shield he had on his arm. As Beerus reacted the Mega Level Digimon had a pincer form out of the shield to grasp Beerus tightly by the arm.

Ben's Digimon partner then had the purple sword in his other hand surge with energy before he shouted out,"Magna Scintillate Edge!"

The Royal Knight unleashed a powerful slash of energy, but Beerus merely caught it with his free hand. The cat like being squeezed his opponent's arm hard enough to make Shinryudramon scream out in pain. He prepared to throw Shinryudramon away when Zero suddenly dove into the air and gave a battle cry."Z-End Slash!"before his Z-Saber surged with energy and tripled in length. As his blade grew as large as it could the inorganic man swung it down on Beerus.

The God of Destruction merely narrowed his eyes, before he caught Zero's blade as well. Beerus took delight at displaying he could overpower both Zero and Shinryudramon at once."You can only blame yourselves for this, you rushed in without realizing the price for defying god!"

Sonic charged in while uttering a annoyed,"Get over yourself dude! All Kirby did was eat pudding! I can get raw when I miss out on a sweet chilly dog myself, but if your such a big shot someone like you can get whatever food he wants no snap! So get over yourself! Infinite Mass Spin Dash!"

The speedy hero curled up in a ball and rapidly moved faster and faster in the same spot, gaining more mass from the speed. Sonic then launched himself like a cannon ball right for Beerus's head, unleashing a impact like a sonic boom. The attack struck Beerus, but the God of Destruction merely was pushed back a inch as he stomped his foot down and pushed his head back to try and push Sonic off him while still holding Zero and Shinryudramon back."Just pudding? Once more you mortals understand nothing! How can I order what I know nothing about? Unveiling the unknown...seeing how sensations have evolved is one of the biggest delights for a being of my stature!

Even the name is enticing, pudding! When your as old as me you can tell what's authentic and what's a fake, and savor the difference! Your foolish friend denied me that privilege, and their will be consequences!"

Beerus wound up his free hand to prepare to punch all three of his attackers, when suddenly the ground around him turned slippery and he lost his balance. He saw a arrow was spreading ice before he looked to the right and saw X fired his Ice Spreader attack from his X-Buster on the opposite side.

The blue bomber released a even more powerful burst to cause even more ice to spread around his target. The amount of ice caused Beerus to loose his balance further, allowing his attackers to bring their blades down. While Beerus nearly lost his footing he used his tail to keep his balance enough to keep his three attackers back.

However he looked down and heard a noise, and saw a small mouse like bomb moving for his feet. He realized that Link was the one who released the Bombchu explosive just as it went off, and shattered the ground around him. While the explosion did not hurt Beerus at all, the sudden lost of his footing force him off balance and made him be unable to keep blocking the attacks.

Thus Beerus was slashed across the chest and flinched in pain, allowing Sonic to complete his attack. As a result the cat man was knocked into the air. Sonic was dismayed that Beerus was able to rebound from his and the others attacks so effortlessly before muttering,"All that just for a few scratches? Guess legit God's of Destruction are made of sturdy stuff."

Beerus saw his chest was singed from where the sabers struck before he had a wild look in his eyes."I'll give you credit where it due, you fighters know how to work together. That's all well and good for threats in this realm, but..."

Beerus had his aura flare up before in the blink of an eye he punched X, Zero, Link, Sonic, and Shinryudramon in less then a second. All five of the hero's were slammed into the ground hard enough to leave dents. As Beerus reappeared in the center of the ring he saw Zero and Shinryudramon struggle to get back up before he grinned."Alas such tricks don't cut it in the level of the divine and you fools have to learn that the hard way!"

Beerus charged at Zero again, only for a pair of energy flowers to fly in front of him and fire beams of energy at him. He easily swatted the beams away, and Ben charged at him as he did. Beerus struck back with a upper cut that Ben just managed to dodge in time, and the two unleashed blows at each other at such speed that they appeared as blurs to most around them.

After going at each other for a bit, Beerus dashed backwards and unleashed a quick barrage of purple energy blasts. Ben managed to deflect the projectiles, only for his attacker to dash at him to land another punch while Ben was deflecting one of the energy blasts. Before he could land the blow, Lacus dashed at him and swung with the Oath-Keeper.

Her target caught the slash with such force that the impact nearly rattled her bones, but she stood her ground. Seeing Beerus 's dismissive look just caused her to look even fiercer."Your going to learn the hard way that the level of the divine is not out of our reach! Rising Crescent!"

Lacus had her white sword surge with holy energy before she pushed back. Beerus once more was annoyed and tried to slap her with her tail. Ben parried this strike, but as he did Beerus suddenly slammed his right palm in a open handed form right into Ben's gut. Beerus took delight in seeing Ben go flying, only for his delight to turn to shock as the man suddenly stopped in mid air like he was caught in a giant rubber band, before he burst back at Beerus at twice the speed.

As he burst back at his opponent Ben extended his free hand to have a golden energy sword form in it, before he unleashed a X slash at Beerus. The God of Destruction blocked both strikes with his hands, and saw Ben and Lacus exchange a loving wink before the angelic woman thrust the Oath-Keeper at her target's head.

Beerus blocked with his tail, but Lacus folded her wings to intercept the lash. She winced a little but swerved to the right and slash Beerus across his cheek.

The strike left a small cut, angering Beerus enough for him to fire small energy beams from his eyes. Lacus took the hit and was sent flying, till she suddenly stopped. Like Ben it was like she hit a rubber band, and Beerus realized it was a small pink ribbon.

As Lacus shot forward her opponent noticed Ben was holding the pink ribbon, before he blocked Lacus's new thrust with a finger. The angelic Enji Knight resumed her assault with a drop kick, but when Beerus prepared to strike back Lacus showed the kick was a feint and dashed past her attacker. Beerus went after her, only to find his arm caught. He realized the ribbon was now entangling his right arm, but before he could shatter it Ben attacked again with his blades.

Lacus attacked as well, and the couple's swift attacks were in sync enough to force Beerus to step up his pace."These two may be insufferably naive, but I guess they do know how to fight. This Ben Auro is no Goku, he has no problem fighting alongside others. How cute...but a loving couple fighting in tandem, is not nearly enough to over come someone like me!"

Beerus was starting to lose his composure as he started unleashing enough power to unleash a shock-wave with each punch. Ben and Lacus kept their cool and one kept swerving around while the other blocked for them, allowing Beerus to get more entangled by the ribbon.

At the same time Shinryudramon recovered enough to rejoin his comrades, and burst right at Beerus. As he did he had his shield have a drill emerge and attacked with his Giga Drill Breaker move.

Beerus hissed in anger before he grasped the drill hard enough to stop its spinning. As he did Ben suddenly unleashed his Spiral Light Blitz spell to have golden energy swords materialize around his body and all dive at his target. His opponent grit his teeth before suddenly having his aura explode to blow Shinryudramon, Lacus, and the energy blades back.

As Ben was pushed back Beerus charged at him with a burst of speed and punched the owner of the Star Sword in the face hard enough to slam him all the way to the right side of the ring's barrier. As Ben bounced off Beerus tightened his fist."For all the tricks you have, they are only delaying the inevitable! Time to settle what was decided the moment you defied your superior!"

The God of Destruction flew at Ben as he prepared to deliver a knock out blow. But Ben was ready and focused all the power he had."I've been defying the odds all my life Beerus, and I'm not stopping here! Divine Flare Edge!"

Ben interpreted his feline opponent's punch with a powered up golden slash. But while the attack pushed back Beerus a few inches, Beerus quickly pushed Ben back harder while muttering a assertive,"Every mortal has their limit Ben Auro, pay the price for not learning yours!"

"I have a lot more to me then you may think! Damn it, did not think I'd have to use this again but, losing will be more painful! Kaio-Ken!"

Beerus saw Ben's aura suddenly flare up with a crimson red color before he Ben pushed back with a surge of power. Beerus was shocked for a moment, but just narrowed his eyes before his own power flared up once more, and he pushed Ben back."So you learned Kai sage arts? You do seem to have learned tricks from all over. Still...no matter how much a mortal learns they are still just a mortal!"

"Damn it Beerus, how would you know just what the limitations of this era are when you been asleep through most of it?"

"I don't need to know much for how things are now, I know how humans will act, how they always will act! I been around since humans were the new kids on the block! I know just how limited human beings are! Now I don't care enough to make them suffer for it like Zannacross and his group, but I'm not going to get fooled by humans, nor tolerate any idiots trying to con me!"

Ben felt Beerus pushing him harder before he had many of the memories he had since he joined the Enji Knights. Remembering all the pain he went through, and all the people that died caused Ben to get consumed with fury."I'm sorry humans have been such a let down for so many years Beerus. However, just because your one of the oldest beings in the universe, that still does not mean you can dismiss all I, Lacus and everyone else went through! After everything it took to take down Zannacross and the others, after everything we lost, I refuse for all of that to be meaningless!"

Ben's power surged once again, before the Star Sword shimmered with golden light. Beerus noticed Ben's hair was turning golden before he raised a eyebrow."Even more tricks? Enough!"

Beerus tried to finish Ben, only to be shocked as Ben unleashed enough force to push his fist back. Ben's aura crackled with lighting as his hair got golden and spiky before he shout out a fierce,"Beerus...I'll show you humanity's evolution, the power that can surpass even a God of Destruction! Erupting, Burning, Dragon Fist!"

Ben's aura surged to the point where it looked like a golden dragon, before in a burst of speed Ben shocked Beerus by overpowering him, and punching him square in the jaw. Ben's punch was powerful enough to unleash a explosion, and everyone, even Whis and Champa were shocked to see Beerus get smashed to the ground so hard that the ground around him shattered.

Champa saw this and merely sneered."Damn it Beerus, your making us look bad! Your always dissing me when your the one who got rusty!"

Whis saw Ben's energy before he looked intrigued."His power, it surged out of no where to a level that could overwhelm Beerus. They said he lost a significant portion of his power when he lost the Divine Mugen Nova. But, did he not loose as much as everyone assumed?"

Ben's comrades saw Ben's hair turn to normal before Sonic went over to Lacus."I know its been low key the past few years but, glad you and Ben have not lost your touch."

"We took it easy for a while as I got my strength back,"Lacus responded proudly before smiling."but while we never did anything to crazy, Ben and I made sure to keep in shape. Even with our...enhancements...we still did not want to get lazy. Even with no threat over the horizon, Ben wants to give it his best, that's just the guy he is. Its, one of his more lovable traits, and why Beerus bought more then he bargained for when he dismissed us!"

Before anyone could react everyone on the moon had a chill go down their spine. Beerus then burst out of the hole that Ben created and flew above Ben, with a bloody lip. Beerus had his eye twitch as he felt a sensation he had not felt in a long time before he rubbed blood off his lip.

As he saw his own blood Ben and the others prepared for a outburst of rage. However the God of Destruction merely looked intrigued."Its been quite a long time since I bleed my own blood. That power, no mortal could weld power of that magnitude. Were you lying about your limits to catch me off guard?"

Ben saw Beerus looked curious before he looked at his own body."I was telling the truth, I swear. I don't know, I just dug down in desperation and unleashed everything I had and for a moment I could feel some of the power I had when I had the Divine Mugen Nova."

"Fascinating, just like how Goku was able to have his body absorb and memorize the power of the Super Saiyan God ritual all on his own, your body just might have been able to "remember" the energy of the divine, and make it part of your own.

Well, I hate to admit it but the proof is on my face. Guess after all theses years Cosmos was able to get somewhere on her ideas for humanity's evolution if a fool like you could get as strong as this. Of course...all that power still amounts to nothing if your to deluded to make use of it."

Ben landed along side Lacus before giving out a confident grin."Its hardly just my strength that got me this far. I got here with the help of the woman I love, all my friends, and all the others who shared my dream! Its not just my ideas that's going to guide the universe, its all of are wills, and the wills of everyone who sacrificed everything to keep the dream alive!"

"Tsc...no matter how much you spin it its just the same heroic drivel fools have been spouting for generations."

"Maybe, but all tired cliches have a reason they got their in the first place, and the unbreakable bond between friends is one of them!"

"Lets just see how unbreakable these precious bonds really are!"

Beerus put his right hand into the air before his aura exploded. In a instant he formed a sphere of red energy that looked like a miniature sun. As the entire moon started to shake Whis cleared his throat."Lord Beerus I'm glad your seeing I was not lying about Ben Auro and Lacus Raystar being authentic. Still...I'm worried your getting a tad...to excited."

Beerus just had a wild look form in his eye before howling out,"Calm down Whis I know precisely what I'm doing!"

"Hey its not fair to just rely on my magic to clean up your messes! Cosmos is not really keen when things have to be messed around just because you can't control yourself!"

"After all this time you doubt my ability to control myself? I'm not going to vaporize the audience, or even the savior and his friends if that's what you fear Whis. This blast won't kill anyone. But it will unleash enough pressure to knock out everyone within this barrier! Though, it might take a bit of time retrieving them with how hard I will send them flying! Time to cut to the chase and see just how durable theses so called hero's are!"

Beerus hurled his giant energy sphere at his targets, and as the sun like projectile descended Lacus took a deep breath before throwing out a rueful,"Ben...even if that blast won't vaporize us, I'm not really fond of being knocked out of the system."

Ben nodded before focusing his power."Don't worry Lacus, no matter how hard Beerus tries to blow us down, we are not going down! Guys, give it everything you got!"

Lacus nodded before jumping to the right. Holy energy surged out of her body before she looked defiantly at Beerus."I know I made many foolish mistakes, and I'm far from sure that I can prevent myself from making any more. Still...I'm going to keep trying, no matter what! Burst Stream of Judgment!"

Lacus swiftly unleashed a massive holy energy blast to collide into her opponent's energy sphere. At the same time Lacus attacked Shinryudramon jumped to Ben's left before his shield transformed into a cannon."Get ready to eat humble pie jerk! Infinite Exia Ray!"

The Mega level Digimon swiftly unleashed his own powerful energy beam as well. At the same time Zero dashed behind Ben before yelling out,"Its not over yet, Final Zero Shine!"

As Zero unleashed his own massive red energy blast Ben looked at Beerus with fierce determination."Maybe I have gotten to casual about this as of late, but I meant it when I swore to never give up on my dream! Max, I hope you and the others still have faith in me. I'm going to keep fighting to take down all the obstacles in the way from making my dream become a reality! Burning...Celestial...Shinryukenha!"

Ben dug down and unleashed a even more powerful version of his favorite energy beam, now golden colored while he was in the Bankai state. Ben, Zero, Shinryudramon, and Lacus all fired energy beams with all the power they had in them, and they combined to collide in to the God of Destruction's energy sphere.

Beerus saw his projectile slow down and just released a wry laugh."Nice try, but you pushed yourself s farther then you can go, and now your fiery spirits are about to blown out!"

Ben just grasped his free hand tightly."We have another saying theses days, the light burns brightly before it goes out, let me show you what that means! Senkai!"

Ben's holy blade shimmered with light, before dozens of golden energy blades appeared all around Beerus. Just as the cat like man eyed Ben's new spell the Enji Knight swiftly shouted a device,"And now, Divine Millennia Slash!"

Nearly a thousand golden energy swords swiftly rained down, and while Beerus prepared to knock them all away he was shocked that only a few came for him...while the rest dove into his energy sphere. The swords all exploded upon impact, and while the individual swords did not do much individuality, the countless explosions caused the energy sphere to change its direction slowly, causing it to be in a weaker position to the four energy beams colliding into it.

Ben saw Beerus was distracted and cast Kaio-Ken once more to unleash a surge of power, allowing the combined blast to burst through Beerus's sphere.

The God of Destruction only had time to utter a few shocked words before the energy beam collided in to him, and caused a explosion powerful enough to shatter Q's barrier. Champa was one of the many shocked at this turn of events before he blurted out,"The hell is Beerus doing? This is no time to play games he's making us look bad!"

Valdos merely looked intrigued as she responded with a coy,"Not really Champa, you and your brother should have just paid attention during the war. Maybe you would have seen that Ben Auro and Lacus Raystar 's reputation was legitimate. Ah well...Beerus needed to get humbled a bit anyway. Well I heard Zannacross killed him but, he just about killed everyone so that does not count."

Shinryudramon saw the barrier shatter before he saw Ben breathing hard."You ok boss? This guy is tough, but I think at last we showed him what we are about!"

Ben eyed the smoke carefully before he used the Star Sword to keep himself balanced."I think we are starting to win him over. However...not sure if that was enough to be decisive or not."

"Stay tough guys,"Lacus uttered steadily as she gave the smoke a keen look."Despite his bad attitude, he was not being smug when he said God's of Destruction were tough, they were made to be the original divine enforcers after all."

To Ben's team's dismay they heard Beerus laugh, and as the smoke cleared they saw Beerus had braced himself. He had burns over his body, but still was conscious. For the first time Beerus looked like he was breathing heavy before he looked down at Lacus and laughed some more."Well...its good to know your not to full of...you can pat yourselves on the back for pushing me harder then anyone's pushed me in a long time! Yes...for impressing me this much, I'll reward you by showing you the full power of a God of Destruction! Don't worry, I'll be gracious and settle this without it being to painful!"

Ben just grit his teeth before he steeled himself."Thanks for showing manners, but don't pat yourself back just yet. Maybe you have yet to go all out, but we still have a few tricks up our sleeves even how Beerus!"

Shinryudramon grasped his fist tightly before his eyes started to glow with golden light."That's right, the more we are pushed, the harder we push back!"

Beerus's own aura soon exploded to even more massive heights as he looked hungry for battle."So you say, but we really are pass the point where words hold any weight! Either way, this is going to be the most fun I've had in the past...huh?"

Beerus prepared to lash out, when suddenly everyone was caught off guard as a massive explosion of red light erupted past everyone, right over the Bajoran planet. As everyone was blinded Ben blurted out,"What the, is this the extent of Beerus's full power?"

Lacus felt a chill creep down her spine as she sensed the area around the new explosion."I'm...not sure Ben. Their is none of Beerus's energy around that explosion. Something...something's really wrong."

"Well whatever he is, huh? What...what the hell?"

Ben,Lacus, and even Beerus were shocked as when the light faded, they saw a massive crack of light appear in the area of space above the Bajoran world. Before anyone could react, the creak in space itself shattered, before everyone saw a reddish planet break through the new crack in space itself.

The owner of the Star Sword blinked in horror before he at last regained his composure."Is, that a planet, falling out of another region of space? Beerus, did you do this? Is this some stunt your pulling to win? Damn it, using entire planets as hostages to have your way?"

"Don't mock me!" Beerus snapped out."I don't need to resort to anything underhanded to win! Its true when I lose control, their were times the entire universes stability was at risk. However I don't lose control, this is not me! I mean look at it that's not my style at all, it has no grace to it!"

Whis looked at the planet before he narrowed his eyes."Beerus, I."

"Damn it Whis you out of everyone doubt me?"

"Calm down! I know your telling the truth, but I want you to know something feels very wrong, like something feels wrong with the stability of the universe itself!"

Sisko saw everyone around him looking panicked before he glared at Q."Damn it all this the worst possible kind of joke! Q...I know you played such grand doomsday games in the past with Picard to " teach" him. I'm warning you now this is not the time!"

Everyone saw the new planet suddenly start to descend before Q winced."This is a tad over the top even for me. Seriously, I can't effect the area around this new planet at all!"

Sisko saw Q looked more worried then he ever saw him before, and quickly realized he was telling the truth. Ben saw the planet was starting to descend before his expression hardened."Well at the very least we can figure out the why later, but we got to stop this out of the blue planet collision! Maybe, its the same thing that caused the star to erupt but we got to, huh?"

Ben was cut off as everyone saw a flash of light in front of the new planet, before the Black Swans appeared in front of the hero's. Ben saw the white skinned woman glancing down on him suddenly before he winced."What the, who the hell are you?"

Shinryudramon narrowed his eyes before getting into a fighting stance."Something's fishy boss! I mean this whole thing is like, max fishy but I mean this new girl's scent is like something I never smelled in my entire life!"

Ben just saw the woman looking at him with a blank expression before he cleared his throat."You their, do you two know what's going on here? Maybe, that wormhole for the Gamma Quadrant went crazy?"

Yabbat casually flicked her hair back before muttering a casual."I know precisely what's going on here, hero. This is the advent of the end, the end of everything."

Everyone got tense as her protected words were heard. Sonic got up to Ben before chuckling tensely."Hey Ben, this girl some sort of really advanced show here? Because, I thought the deal was that every evil dude and dudeett in the entire history of the universe died when we busted Zannacross?"

Ben saw how cold the Black Swan's eyes were, and saw the angels in the area looked as shocked as him, even Beerus, his brother and Whis. He then glanced at Yabbat sternly."That's suppose to have been the deal Sonic. Alright miss, is this whole world in the sky thing your doing? Not sure if this is some big show for the news but cut it out, the people of this world are still recovering from the war and I don't think most will approve of being traumatized for a ratings stunt."

The woman giggled darkly before she closed her eyes."My doing? You misunderstand, we are just the messengers. No man or woman can summon the incursions, we Black Swans are the heralds that give the great destroyer his due, so that his will is undisturbed."

"That, doesn't mean anything." Ben muttered tensely."

"Oh...it means everything."The Black Swan cooed out darkly."Tell me...if I told you I came here to kill a universe, would you try to stop me?"

Ben grasped the Star Sword tightly before retorting with a fierce,"If you knew me at all I would do far more then try. This is your last chance to end this joke, its in really poor taste if your asking me."

Beerus then sneered before he jabbed a finger at the girl."That's a understatement. You have any idea how outrageous it is to interrupt my business woman? Their is a price for being so outrageous to someone of my stature, and unlike those hero's I don't play nice! If your being this stupid Cosmos might let me get away with killing you so end this right now before, huh?"

Beerus was cut off as another burst of red light came from the planet, till suddenly many figures appeared along side the Black Swans. Dozens of them were the Alephs, but five more individuals, all consumed in cloaks that covered their bodies, with masks looking like animals that covered parts of their faces.

Yabbat then looked at Beerus and uttered a detached,"It does not matter who you are. Every man, beast, and even god, will be eradicated. No one has the power to stop the great wheel form turning, and we agents of his will exist to make sure the total destruction of this universe is not delayed a second more."

Lacus widened her eyes in horror before muttering,"What, you want to destroy the entire universe? Why? Someone with, that much darkness in their hearts, should no longer exist!"

The Black Swan looked delighted as the beings in cloaks flew around her."It matters not how things should be in your reality servant of the light, our master is beyond terms like light and darkness...good and evil...beyond all the rules of this reality. The one beyond all other dimensions, the Beyonder."

Whis was one of the many who looked alarmed before muttering,"Wait, the Beyonder? No, that should not be possible!"

Ben started to power up before declaring,"I don't really care where your from, this joke ends now!"

The Black Swans then waved their hands before Yabbat looked more intense."If you must know why this is about to happen, its simply that every living thing, every planet, everything form heaven to hell, is in the great ones way. And so, this entire reality will be eradicated so that it can be reformatted as he wishes, and turned into whatever he sees fit. Now heroes, gods, and all others, its time you see that every idea, every power, every individual, all get crushed by the power beyond all power. Let the ritual, commence!"

Authors Notes: For now I'll say that Champa is also from Dragon Ball Super, and, the Beyonder is the marvel creation that caused the Secret Wars event. Now, this might be a confusing turn of events for those of you with a good memory of my story but let me explain.

Yes, I had the Beyonder be one of the ones Zannacross killed in the chapter where he beat Cosmos. However, I, had a change of ideas since then, so if you looked back to that chapter now his role was replaced by Beerus and Whis, and I gave him a new purpose. Sorry if it comes off as a cheap recon, its simply something that I thought up years after I finished the Cosmic Wars trilogy. Needless to say, the new role of the Beyonder will be clear quite soon, hope it comes off well when you see where I am going at. See you all next time in chapter 203: The Incursion, When Time Runs Out!

Thanks for the reviews so far, as always hopefully you like what you see to give more.
