Chapter 12 Dragon Universe

Beerus and Whis were standing right in front of where Goku lay. The arena was itself was in a pitiful display. The once grand stone structures were now mere pebbles on the ground, if not completely vaporized. The ground itself was riddled with craters and rubble. Most of the spectators were either missing or dead, the dead had large exit wounds, piercing though vital areas of the body. Others had more, unique causes of death. "What the hell happened here?" Beerus asked, looking around. Whis sighed in exasperation.

"I was just getting to that, Lord Beerus. You only just asked." Whis replied. The orb on the tip of his staff started to glow green, and soon, a holographic screen projection appeared right above the staff. In the projection, the images of Goku and Vegeta battling with the mages flashed by.

"Fast forward, Whis. This is clearly too far behind." Beerus ordered.

"As you wish, my lord." Whis replied. The images then faded out to then show Frieza's massacre. Beerus's face turned grim.

"Dammit, looks like Frieza's back... again." Beerus said.

"If I had to make a guess, this was Demigra's doing." Whis theorized. The projection then showed images of Goku and Vegeta battling Frieza, to images of the two Janembas critically injuring the two Saiyans. Beerus then looked down at Goku, noticing the deep puncture wound on his lower body. Sighing heavily from the sight, Beerus then turned to where he felt Vegeta's Ki. It was faint, yet still noticeable. But even from the distance Beerus was from Vegeta, he could still see that Vegeta was clearly in a much worse state than Goku was. When Beerus decided to get closer, he then kneeled so he could see just exactly how much worse the Saiyan prince's condition was. Both of Vegeta's arms were popped off their sockets, making them unusable during a fight. On top of that, his right shin was completely crushed. The chest armor was cracked and the skin was exposed in multiple areas of the suit. He also looked as if he was thrown around, and beaten senselessly, a presumption that was soon confirmed by Whis's projection. Goku only seemed to have that singular puncture wound and the loose arm sockets.

"Damn, whatever those things were, their sneak attack was all that was needed to take them down." Beerus said.

"They really need to keep their guards up a lot more." Whis chimed in. "Should I clean them up now, or should I wait till we get back to Earth?" Whis then asked. Beerus stood up and turned his head to face his attendant.

"We wait that long, and these two numbnuts will bleed out before long before we could even reach the North Galaxy." Beerus stated. "Just do what you can Whis." Beerus ordered.

"Well, I can't exactly argue there, my lord." Whis then tapped his staff, making the projection vanish. Soon, two green circles appeared where the two Saiyans lay, unconscious. And in a moment, the two circles floated upwards, and just like that, all the injuries had healed completely. This did not awaken the two Saiyans as of yet, and Beerus, now standing near where Goku lied, tapped his head three times. Beerus then flipped Goku around so he would lie on his back. Goku's eyelids then started to tremble and tighten. It took a while before Goku could even pry open his eyes. When he did, his vision was still very blurry, not to mention, the stinging sensation in his eyes didn't help much either.

"Wake up, Goku!" Beerus shouted, sending spit at Goku's face. "Come on, now! It's time to go!" Goku finally made slow progress in opening his eyes. When his vision finally cleared, he saw Beerus staring down on him.

"Lord... Beerus?" Goku groggily asked. Before Goku could receive any answer, Beerus picked Goku up by his gi, before placing him on his feet. Miraculously, Goku was able to keep himself from falling back down. But it did take a moment for Goku to realize that he wasn't actually fatigued.

"Finally, you're up." Beerus said. Goku looked at his body in confusion. He saw that there was no longer any sign of any puncture wound, even his orange gi was completely intact, it also looked completely clean.

"Whoa, My gi looks completely fine, not to mention I feel great. Lord Beerus, did you do this?" Goku asked. Beerus shook his head.

"If you really want to know, this is Whis's doing, but that is neither important nor relevant to the situation right now. Right now the four of us need to get off this planet and find something or someone to help us with Demigra." Beerus stated. "It's bad enough already that Frieza's back, probably stronger than ever." At the mention of Frieza, Goku visibly tensed.

"Yeah, there's no arguing there, Lord Beerus." Goku said, "Frieza was able to handle me and Vegeta without going golden, although I'm pretty sure that blue with Kaioken should do the trick."

"You know, even though you say that your blue form mixed with King Kai's technique is strong enough to defeat Frieza, I still have this lingering feeling that you'll botch the whole thing up somehow." Whis chimed in. Goku and Beerus turned to face Whis, noticing Vegeta walking next to him. Fully healed and completely clean.

"Hey, Whis!" Goku yelled, "Thanks for the fix up. And you got Vegeta too!" Vegeta had his arms crossed and his eyes were closed. His expression was that of distain, frustration, and just plain anger. He also didn't seem to be listening to what Goku just said.

"Dammit, if only those two freaks didn't show up, I could have finally killed that bastard, Frieza!" Vegeta growled.

"Well then why didn't you idiots just turn blue right away? Hell, why didn't you just go Super Saiyan?" Beerus barked.

"That thing popped both of our arm joints, transforming with those injuries would on us, would drain us too much." Vegeta answered. Beerus sighed, placing his palm on his forehead.

"Whatever, what's done is done. Just hope you learned your lession." Beerus said, "Right now, we're gonna jump ship and get off this pathetic planet! The food isn't even that great!"

"Wait!" A young, feminine voice called out. The four "gods" turned to see the same blondie that was looking after Natsu after he was shot. "Are you seriously going to leave when there are people that are injured?!" The woman yelled.

"You have doctor, don't you? Or even any healing spells?" Beerus asked, "I thought you mages lived for those magical fixer-uppers." Beerus said. The woman looked distress, before looking at the other critically injured mages with concern. "Please, I'm beg of you, right now. These people need help! How can you possibly-" Her words were cut off, as Beerus glared straight through her eyes and into her soul.

"I was willing to let your attitude slide for the fact that we haven't been properly introduced, I was willing to ignore your whining and take my leave, but if you continue to hinder our mission, I will destroy this entire continent with a mere snap of a finger," Beerus threatened. "But even then, that one 'snap' could destroy an entire star system, if I tried." Beerus boasted.

"How can you be this heartless, you bastard?!" The woman cried out, this time, with tears in her eyes.

"If you want an answer to that question, I'll happily oblige." Beerus said. "Actually, no. Instead, I'll just wreck this world and forget that this ever happened!" Beerus exclaimed. He then pointed two fingers at the ground, before charging a tiny speck of ki. The woman's expression then turned from anger to shock.

"Wait, what are you doing?!" The woman screamed. Beerus said. He simply continued to aim his ki downwards. But then, Goku suddenly grabbed Beerus's arm, struggling to pull Beerus's aim up.

"What the hell, Goku!? Let my hand go this instant!" Beerus barked.

"Wait, Beerus! Just listen to me for a moment!" Goku yelled. Beerus soon was able to yank free of Goku's grip.

"Fine! But you better explain quickly!" Beerus barked. "If it's something stupid, I'll beat you senseless, even worse than Frieza!"

"Well, this is a surprise." Whis then stated. He then raised his staff a slight bit higher. The orb then glowed green once more. Soon, the entire arena was enclosed by a massive, light green circle. And just as it appeared, the circle rose up and vanished in the air. But then, all the injured that were in the radius of the circle all felt their wounds heal completely. It didn't matter how severe how the wound was, the injuries practically vanished.

"There you go, good as new." Whis said, cheerfully. Beerus yanked his gaze from Goku, staring cold, sharp daggers at his attendant.

"WHIS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Beerus roared, "I SAID THAT WE ARE LEAVING THIS PLANET RIGHT NO-" Whis simply struck Beerus in the forehead with a chopping motion. Beerus grabbed his head, groaning in pain, as Whis simply stood there.

"I know you're supposed to be the angry, moody Destroyer, but." Whis started. "Well, let's just say that you're having some problems right now. Big problems. My guess is Demigra's still on your mind?" Whis asked. Beerus couldn't answer, the strike to his head left him all fuzzy and scrambled.

"Come to think of it, you're on to something, Whis." Vegeta stated. "Sure, Beerus can be rash and impulsive, but when push comes to shove, he's usually rather sensible."

"Yeah, this Demigra guy must be a real issue if he's shaking up Beerus this bad." Goku chimed in.

"Well, as riveting at this conversation is, I feel that we should discuss this in a more private area." Whis stated. Vegeta nodded first, but Goku was looking elsewhere.

"Okay, but first, I gotta deal with something first." Goku said, before floating away to where Natsu still was.

"And there he goes, it'll probably be a few minutes before he comes back." Whis said.

"Um, hello?" Whis and Vegeta turned around to see that same blond woman walking closer towards them.

"Is there something you need?" Vegeta asked. The tone unnerved the woman, slightly, but she felt that the question asked was reasonable enough.

"I just wanted to say, thank you for helping the wounded." The woman said. Whis chuckled slightly.

"Please, there's really no need to thank me, I just needed to teach Beerus a little lesson about keeping his pants together." Whis replied. The woman smiled.

"Well, regardless, Thank you. My name is Lucy Heartfilia. A Celestial Mage of the guild Fairy Tail." Lucy then extended her hand out.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Miss Heartfilia." Whis said, shaking her hand in the process.
