A/N: So, what's the reasoning for this Gaiden? Well, I still want to meet my one Gaiden entry per month quota I mentioned before. Additionally, this particular plot bunny has itching the back of my mind a while. But, also this ties in to Resurrection B.
Yep, this is a YYGDM/Digimon Fusion Kai crossover.
What this entails: a particular Digital God of Destruction and his angel attendant are guest stars in this entry. And they're about to meet YYGDM's resident firebird.
Enjoy!

Unknown Sector of the Digiverse/Beerusmon's Domain/Universe: DF-616
Shortly after his battle with Ascendant God Omega X, the Digital God of Destruction, Beerusmon, returned to his slumber. He groaned and flipped over on his left side, dreaming of all the delicacies he had prior to his fight with the Ascendant God.
Watching over him was Beerusmon's assistant, Whismon, who sipped some tea. As he set down his tea, the assistant reflected on Beerusmon's battle with Omega X.
"That fight certainly elicited a degree of sheer exhilaration, which you haven't experienced in ages. I don't even remember the last time such an opponent tested you. No, wait…" Whismon recalled. "There was one. An entity we encountered when we briefly entered that one dimension." Grabbing his staff, Whismon peered into an all-seeing orb. "I do believe that dimension's coordinates are YYGDM-01. And in fact, that was such a long time ago. It almost feels like yesterday."
"Stupid flaming chicken!" The purple cat deity yelled out in his sleep. "I'll get you this time."
Whismon watched Beerusmon flip over and scratch his belly. "You still can't keep the Houou off your mind, can you? She dealt you a bruised ego you can't get over. Lord Beerusmon, I was astounded you wanted to fight her to begin with."

Flashback/Western Digiverse Sector/Dimension: DF-616
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Beerus' Tea Time)
Asleep in a lawn chair, Beerusmon dreamt distorted images of a phoenix spreading its wings. He groaned aloud as his snout and ears twitched.
"What was I just dreaming? I can only just remember… and somehow it slips away," Beerusmon mumbled, licking his chops. Opening his eyes, he awoke and peered over to a hourglass floating beside him. "Whismon! Are we almost there?"

Hearing Beerusmon's voice coming out of a bigger hourglass, Whismon transported them through space and toward a planet.
"I still only have two more minutes, Lord Beerusmon."

Planet Cro
Upon arrival, Beerusmon and Whismon encountered a barbarian that refused to share his dinosaur meal. Needless to say, despite Whismon polite gesture, the barbarian wouldn't have any of it. Beerusmon decided to intervene.
"I still don't get why you're irritable after the first few years of waking up," Whismon chastised the Digital God of Destruction. "You know all this talk about dinosaur meat are just rumors and they may not be true."
Beerusmon added, staring down at the slain Stegomon. "Oh I'm well aware, but I think it's worth the try. If the stories are true, it packs the flavor unrivaled in the cosmos." He then licked his chops. "I'm hoping it gives a jolt to my senses and helps me remember that bird figure in my dream."
"A dream?"
"A premonition."
"Hate to a kill-joy, but your premonitions don't exactly hold weight. You once dreamt of a galactic popstar would move into our star system and that didn't pan out."
"You're mocking me, aren't you?"
The massive red barbarian powered up and flew at Beerusmon. Beerusmon quickly took to the air and lifted one finger, which he used to block the barbarian's punch. Taken aback by Beerusmon's effortless counter, he went on the offensive and unleashed a flurry of punches. No matter how fast he punched, Beerusmon kept up blocking with one finger.
Beerusmon phased out and appeared in a pit. The barbarian fired a lightning bolt from his horn. Beerusmon phased away, evading the lightning blasts. Beerusmon reappeared in front of the barbarian and put his hand out.
"I find you dreadfully boring," the purple cat said with a bored look.
The barbarian responded with a mouth beam that engulfed Beerusmon. As he celebrated, the barbarian looked up as Beerusmon materialized above him. Beerusmon wore a fiendish grin. The warrior fired another mouth beam. The Digital God of Destruction stopped it with one finger and flicked it back.
"Is this yours?!"
Boom!
Having been effortlessly defeated, the burned and beaten warrior fell in the pit.
"Are you done now?" Whismon asked Beerusmon.
"It truly irks me when a creature lacks basic manners. Now then what was I talking about?"
"You had a premonition about some mysterious bird figure. A phoenix to be exact."
"Oh yes! I'm this close to remembering, but I can't! Oh, this is such an annoying feeling! Like something stuck in the back of your teeth and can't seem to get it out! Or a dried bit of ear wax you can't reach but feel it rattling all day! You know, it's the worst!"
"Um, anyway, what about the meat? Shall we try some?"
Beerusmon formed a purple energy ball in his palm. "Forget it. It doesn't look that edible after all." He dropped the tiny ball, which descended and sank through the bottom of the ground.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Beerus' Planet)
Suddenly, the earth shook and beams of intense orange light fired all over the place. In less than a minute, the entire planet exploded.
Beerusmon and Whismon watched Planet Cro explode into a formless ball of cosmic dust. Beerusmon quietly stared at the explosion. His eyes shot wide open once he visualized the phoenix's shape beyond the veil of yellow light. The phoenix screeched loudly and spread its wings.
"Lord Beerusmon?" Whismon noticed a grin spread over Beerusmon's features.
"There's nothing more beautiful than a shattering planet."
"Are you sure that's wise? What if the meat could've helped you remember?"
(End theme)
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Earth's Fate)
"It's no longer necessary."
"Is that so?" Whismon asked curiously.
"All I needed was this full-bodied explosion to do the trick. Now I can see it clearly… a phoenix with a body entirely made of cosmic energy. Its majestic presence is nothing like I've seen before. I feel its power will keep me suitably entertained. The image even has a name."
(0:54-2:09)
"By all means, let's hear it."
"What was it? It starts with an H… I know that much! The Houno… No, the Houko… No, wait I got it."
"Well?"
Beerusmon answered plainly. "The Houou."
Whismon gasped. "You don't mean that Houou?"
"What do you know of it?"
"Well, for starters it doesn't exist in our dominion."
Beerusmon frowned. "Surely you jest?"
"But I do know of a universe where the Houou exists. If what you describe is what I think it might be, it's unique to this specific universe."
"Well, why don't we go pay a visit to this dimension? I want to contest my divine power against this cosmic being. Perhaps this Houou is another God of Destruction like me."
"Well, it's no wise for other Gods of Destruction to meddle in each other's affairs."
"It'll just be very quick, Whismon. Let's get moving."
Whismon sighed. "All right. Maybe we can bend the rules just this once, but understand we're entering a universe outside our jurisdiction. No planet destroying in other dominions outside our own."
"Yes, yes, I get it," Beerusmon grabbed Whismon's shoulder.
"Hold on tight."
(End theme)
With that, Whismon turned into an energy comet and shot across the cosmos. Then, using his own means of dimension crossing, Whismon took them into the aforementioned dimension where the Houou presumably resides.
xxxxx
Imperium Rim Territory/Dimension: YYGDM-01
Upon entering their uncharted territory, Whismon and Beerusmon passed by hundreds of celestial bodies. Beerusmon scanned space with half-interest.
"Are we in that other dimension you mentioned, Whismon?"
"Why yes we are."
"I see no difference. All I see are planets, stars, and maybe inklings of civilizations, but nothing else. Wake me when we find that Houou."
"Will do, Lord Beerusmon."
Suddenly, Whismon put the quick brake causing Beerusmon to awaken from a quick nap. Beerusmon scowled by his assistant's urge to stop so fast.
"Whismon, what's the meaning of this? Not even a few seconds have passed!"
"It's only been a few minutes, Lord Beerusmon."
"Then, why did you just stop? Unless you've found the Houou?"
"Not even."
"Huh? Then what?"
Just then, the duo sighted a similar purple comet shooting through space. The comet then swerved around and headed straight for them.
A sphere of purple light appeared before Beerusmon and Whismon. As this sphere faded, two figures emerged: a LadyWhismon and a fatter version of Beerusmon.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Fatso Waltz)
Beerusmon scowled at the sight of his fatter, shorter-tailed counterpart. The fatter 'Beerusmon' smiled back in a condescending manner.
"You? What in cosmos are you doing here?" Beerusmon confronted the fat cat.
"Tch, I could say the same to you! What are doing here?!" The fat 'Beerusmon' chided him in a deep, husky tone. "Besides, why should I tell you what I'm doing here, my idiot brother?"
"What was that?!" Beerusmon hissed.
"What to make something of it?!"
Beerusmon snickered. "Ah, yeah. You're from Digiverse 6, right, Champamon? Well, I'm from Digiverse 7. In fact, that's where my assistant and I just left a while ago. You and your assistant there should be back where you belong."
Champamon replied. "What we do is our own business. We decided to scope this universe because I heard of some phoenix…"
Upon hearing this, Beerusmon gaped. "What?! You're trying to get one over me first, you out of shape jerk?!"
"Take it from me you won't find anything here," the fat one shook his head.
"Then, there's still a chance to find the Houou."
"Did ya got wax in your ears?! I just said you won't find anything here! Maybe a few good delicacies. The most you'll find are some troublesome natives!"
"You don't say?" Beerusmon smirked. "Perhaps we can ask these natives if they know of the Houou, Whismon?"
"That wouldn't be a bad idea," Whismon concurred, eyeing his female counterpart.
Vadosmon gave a coy smirk. "You're looking well, Whismon."
"You, too, dear sister."
"Say, if you think this Houou is even real, why don't we fight over it?" Champamon challenged his brother. "Well?"
(End theme)
Beerusmon quickly dropped into a fighting stance and waited for Champamon's next move.
The rotund cat deity beckoned his assistant. "Ok! Vadosmon, you go fight my stupid brother!"
"Huh?" Vadosmon blinked. "But why should I fight him? He's your brother."
"Because I don't feel like it."
"Hah, you haven't changed. Still hiding behind your aide's skirt," Beerusmon scoffed at his brother's cowardice.
Whismon garnered Beerusmon's attention. "Lord, we should get going. We could lose the Houou if we stay here and squabble."
"Yes, you're right," Beerusmon shifted to his obese brother.
"Lord Champamon, we should be departing as well."
"Guess we'll be seeing each other again, skin and bones. Good luck trying and failing to find that make believe firebird!" Champamon got up in Beerusmon's face, taunting him.
"We'll settle this another time, fatso!" Beerusmon spat out. "I'll have slain a phoenix when I return home!"
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Champa's Theme)
Both scowled hard and turned away returning to their assistants.
"Vadosmon, let's leave!"
"As you wish."
With that, the Digiverse 6 deities teleported at lightspeed and headed out of the YYGDM universe.
"Time to begin our Houou hunt, Whismon."
"Yes, let's get started!"
xxxxx
The duo traversed through their unfamiliar universe. The Houou search went as well as Champamon would expect, which meant no success. However, being the stubborn Digital God of Destruction he is, Beerusmon adamantly refused to give up his search.
They hopped across numerous planets to ask about the Houou sightings. None could confirm but have described stories about a cosmic phoenix. This only further pushed Beerusmon to stay the course.

Rajita Satellite #003
On a distant planetoid conquered by the Rajita Empire, Beerusmon and Whismon dropped in for a visit. Unaware of the divine duo's reputation, the Rajita warriors greeted them with hostility. Needless to say, Beerusmon, who was not one for foolhardiness.
"Lord Beerusmon, I doubt you're going to get anything about the Houou from these hostiles," Whismon sighed, staring apathetically at Beerusmon's handiwork.
Beerusmon sat on top of a pile of beaten Rajita soldiers. He sat tossing up a purple ball in his hand.
"These weaklings not only provided useless information, but they didn't provide me any entertainment," Beerusmon scoffed irritably, bouncing the energy ball on his head and nose.
"Keep in mind, this universe doesn't fall under our jurisdiction. So no destroying worlds."
"Yes, I know that already!"
"Just giving you a friendly reminder. As far as we go, we're just visitors in this dimension," Whismon eyed the viewing globe on his staff. "There's another world nearest here we can visit."
"Then, let's go over there and see if they know anything," Beerusmon said, getting off the Rajita body pile.

Rajita Mothership
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Freeza's Scheme)
"Satellite #003 is offline, sir," a technician reported to Rajita warlord, Kaiser Ghidorah. "But we did get a recorded message from one of our soldiers."
"Put it through," Ghidorah instructed as the audio message played.
A distorted voice from a Rajita soldier played. "Sir...we've been hit hard… thankfully no casualties on our side. But we were attacked by some deity. One we can describe as a purple cat with pointed ears. He swiftly beat us all like we were nothing… none of our weapons had any effect on him…"
"Well, sir?" The technician asked Ghidorah.
Ghidorah was a near loss for words. He growled deeply. "I have no words. A deity defeated all our men? I'm curious who this being might be." He folded his fingers together as his eyes glowed green.
"We finally have video footage, sir!" Another technician played the video footage, which showed Beerusmon make short work of the Rajita fleets on Satellite #003.
As Beerusmon turned grinning at the monitor, Ghidorah stood up and scowled.
(1:34-1:45)
"So, this is that deity," Ghidorah growled lowly. "If you know what's good for you, you better hope we never cross paths, or you'll face great horror."

Shadow Galactica Fortress
Sailor Galaxia, sitting in her throne, eyed her two guests. She instructed the Sailor Animamates stand aside, giving Beerusmon and Whismon the floor to speak.
"So, you don't know the whereabouts of the Houou?" Whismon inquired to the Golden Queen.
"Nay, I've searched far and wide seeking an audience with her, but she's always slips out of my cosmic awareness. The Houou is not one to be found so easily."
Beerusmon scoffed. "I see. Then, we've wasted your time. Let's move along, Whismon."
Whismon bowed. "Thank you for answering our inquiries. Take care." He smacked his staff down, teleporting him and Beerusmon out of Galaxia's quarters.
"Who are they, milady?" Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon asked her.
"Not from our universe, I can surmise that much," Galaxia answered vaguely.
xxxxx
Imperium Empire Satellite #10
Upon arrival on one of the Imperium Empire's collective satellite outposts, Beerusmon and Whismon were met with even more hostility. After making short work of Imperium fleets, Beerusmon was ultimately confronted by the Imperium's leading general, Praetor Chronos.
"You dare attack my men, invader?" Chronos growled, clenching his fists. "No one shall get away with humiliating the Imperium Empire!" He flew at Beerusmon.
(Cue God of War 3 OST - Call to Arms)
Beerusmon just stood his ground without flinching. As Chronos reached Beerusmon, he threw a punch, which the Digital God of Destruction caught with one hand.
Chronos quickly withdrew his hand, dismayed by Beerusmon's lack of effort. He unleashed a flurry of fast punches that Beerusmon blocked with one hand. As he went all out against the deity, Beerusmon phased over to Chronos' left. Chronos fired heat beams from his eyes, hoping to stun Beerusmon. Beerusmon formed a purple aura, nullifying Chronos' beams.
"Why haven't I heard of you, invader who claims to be a deity?!" Chronos demanded.
"I am a God of Destruction. Tell me, what can you tell me of the Houou?"
"The Houou? The child of the universe?!"
Beerusmon's ears twitched as he grinned. "Ah, so you've heard of the Houou. Tell me, what do you know."
"I'd reconsider if you wish to contest your strength against the Houou."
"I'll be the judge of that. I didn't come to your universe and leave empty handed."
"You're a fool to challenge the Houou."
"We shall see."
Growing irked by Beerusmon's short-sightedness, Chronos flew at Beerusmon. This time he swerved around Beerusmon and slammed him headfirst through an obelisk. Chronos then took to the air and fired a barrage of heat blasts, bombarding the debris burying the Digital God. He made double sure his blasts vaporized every square inch of the debris and vaporized every trace of Beerusmon.
To his shock, Chronos saw Beerusmon standing and completely unscathed. Beerusmon beckoned him to attack. Irked, Chronos dove and clenched his right fist. He unleashed a full-powered punch, which blasted the area and leveled it. To his shock, Chronos saw Beerusmon was out of sight. He looked up and saw Beerusmon floating above him.
"Strong as you are, I'm growing bored of this. How about we end this?"
"You shall not humble me, Praetor Chronos!" The Imperium war officer flew up and attacked Beerusmon again.
Beerusmon's strategy to hinder Chronos' self-confidence worked to his benefit. As Chronos threw another punch, Beerusmon phased out of reach. Beerusmon reappeared behind Chronos and tapped his shoulder.
"You put up a good fight, but this is where it ends, Praetor," Beerusmon then flicked Chronos' forehead, sending him flying back. He then phased and reappeared behind Chronos. He delivered a light chop to the back of Chronos' neck, knocking him out and dropping him like dead weight.
(End theme)
After leaving Chronos in a defeated heap, Beerusmon descended next to Whismon.
"This universe can't even provide me any essential information! Maybe the Houou legend simply is just that a legend," Beerusmon scoffed, kicking rocks out of frustration.
"Might I suggest we hit a food stand before we head back home?"
"Anything's better than beating on some hapless fools. Let's go…" He stopped as he and Whismon watched a ball of cosmic light explode and form into a blazing phoenix covered in flames.
(Cue X-Men: The Last Stand OST - Jean Grey Theme (Dark Phoenix))
Beerusmon fell silence as he stared at the phoenix floating over the vicinity. The Houou casted its sights on Beerusmon and Whismon.
"Lord Beerusmon, are you seeing this?!" Whismon was taken aback by the Houou's presence.
Beerusmon gritted his fangs and snarled. "You decided to finally show yourself, you flaming chicken."
The Houou replied with eyes burning yellow. "Are you the one who's been seeking my attention, God of Destruction? What business do you have with me?"
"I wish to contest my divine strength against yours and determine if you're the God of Destruction of this universe," Beerusmon floated up to meet Houou eye to eye. "You appeared in my dreams recently. My colleague down there confirmed suspicions that you're the one."
"I see, but you're foolish to think you can contest my power, invader god. This universe isn't yours to meddle with. I suggest you return to your own universe and continue to carry out your role as destroyer. You have your own universe to balance."
"One God of Destruction lecturing another to do his job, that's what I'd expect to hear."
The fiery bird chortled in response. "Who says I'm a mere God of Destruction? I am the child of the universe."
(End theme)
"I don't care what you are, you're mine now!" Beerusmon forged a barrage of purple energy balls and launched them in succession.
The Houou quickly stopped the incoming blasts with her fiery cloak. She then flapped her wings hard, sending a powerful shockwave at Beerusmon. The Digital God of Destruction was easily swept off the Imperium satellite world. Beerusmon growled and watched the Houou ascend off the planet.
"Your power is immense, I'll grant you this much! But I shall not be beat that easily!" The deity propelled toward the Houou and clashed head-on with her.
(Cue God of War 2 OST - Battle for the Skies)
A cosmic explosion erupted from their collision, which emitted shockwaves that rattled their side of the universe. Beerusmon ended up on the worst end of the collision as Houou's power repelled him. Beerusmon shook off the Houou's attack and bombarded her with energy blasts. The Houou's flame cloak absorbed his blasts and floated over to him.
Beerusmon launched himself into Houou's cloak. He fiercely clawed and tore into her fiery cloak, ripping off layers of fiery feathers. The Houou screeched loudly, shaking Beerusmon off her back. Beerusmon unleashed a barrage of blasts. The Houou formed another fire cloak, absorbing his blasts.
"C'mon, you were just fighting back just now! You're just going to tank through my attacks?!" Beerusmon openly chastised the cosmic being. He raised his finger and formed a massive sun-like sphere, which he aptly calls his Sphere of Destruction. "Take this!" He tossed the sphere, which packed enough power to wipe out a planet.
Preparing for the incoming sphere, the Houou folded her wings over the sphere and crushed it. She then feed on its energies much to Beerusmon's dismay. Growing irritated by the Houou outdoing him, Beerusmon powered up and flew at her.
Suddenly, Beerusmon felt a sharp pain in his head. He felt his entire body being paralyzed. The Houou then unleashed a force that hit Beerusmon like a ton of bricks and knocked him out cold. Beerusmon fell into Whismon's arms.
(End theme)
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Crushing Defeat)
"Consider that a warning, God of Destruction. Don't tread into another universe outside your own jurisdiction. And never cross me," the phoenix entity warned in an authoritative manner. She opened her wings as her eyes turned red. "Let this be a lesson. I'll let you off this time since you're crucial to your own dimension. However, the next time you make another foolhardy attempt to challenge me, I will not be as forgiving."
"Ohoho, yes, Lord Beerusmon heard you loud and clear, Houou,," Whismon chuckled, slamming his staff down. "We were just leaving now." With that, he transported them back to their own universe.
"Beerusmon? Well, Beerusmon, I hope you've learned your lesson." The Houou flew off through space as Chronos finally came to.
"That… that was the Houou just now…" Chronos muttered, barely getting up. "And yet she spared that invader?"

Unknown Sector of the Digiverse/Beerusmon's Domain/Universe: DF-616
"Tsk, tsk, Lord Beerusmon, you should've known better. She's right we shouldn't be meddling in other universes," Whismon sighed, laying the unconscious cat on his bed. "On the plus side, you didn't destroy any worlds in universe YYGDM-01. So that's a positive!"
He draped a blanket over Beerusmon and stared over him.
"Unbelievable she was able to knock you out cold. Maybe enough to put you into a sleeping state for a century, give or take? Nah, I give it a few weeks and you'll be off to work again!"
Whismon used his staff's power to make Beerusmon's bed float away.
"Sweet dreams, Lord Beerusmon," he sat down and eyed his viewing globe. He peered at the Houou through his globe. "I must say the Houou truly is an intriguing entity. For her to defeat Beerusmon so swiftly, this is quite the eye-opener indeed. I'll have to keep an eye on this universe. It's ripe with potential beings."

Present/Unknown Sector of the Digiverse/Beerusmon's Domain/Universe: DF-616
"Stupid fiery poultry! I'll never let this down!" Beerusmon yelled in his sleep. He quickly shot up from his bed, hanging his head forward. He yawned and collapsed, falling on his back.
Whismon finished his tea and walked out to the garden.
"With time, hopefully your attention on Omega X being the Ascendant God takes your mind off the Houou. But, having kept a close observation of universe YYGDM-01, the Houou's found a vessel to contain her power. Who knows if you two will ever cross paths, but hopefully you'll be able to cast aside differences. That's what Lady Cosmos and her order would want."
xxxxx
A/N: That was short but sweet. Yep, it's all been confirmed Beerusmon and Whismon (also can't forget Champamon and Vadosmon) made a brief stop in the YYGDM-01 before the main series continuity even started. And it won't be the last they'll appear in YYGDM-01. ;)
Now to clarify, these events occurred before Princess Mars became the Houou's vessel. So this is set around the rise of the Silver Millennium.
This chapter shows that certain gods and angels (Whismon) are capable of dimension crossing.
For those who were curious about Beerusmon and the Houou's heated interactions in Resurrection B, well here's how their feud started.
Yes, and this marks Champamon and Vadosmon (formerly LadyWhismon, which that will be her nickname; and it's already been revealed there's other female angels in the other Dragon Ball universes. So LadyWhismon for one character is meaningless if there's more of the same types) debut outside their post-credit appearances in Resurrection B. This is my way of putting them out there until Chaosblazer and I prep for our 'Universe 6/Champamon fic' in April/May.
Hope you liked this nice little Gaiden for entertainment purposes (though all my stories serve that purpose, to be fair).
Send a review and see you soon!
