Finally found this chapter! *cries in happiness*.

I do not own Dragon ball franchise.

Those in Universe 1-11 were all suddenly alarmed by the sound of a certain gods laughter from their everyday lives, as Radis grinned from ear to ear, walking down one of the many corridors in the large building.

"You seemed to be in a good mood, today, Radis-sama" Thanatos said, walking beside.

"How can I not?" Radis said, "My universe is currently dominating the competition! People fear Universe 12 and when Zamastu went into his god mood, the expression on those present faces... was priceless! So I have every right to be in a good mood, today"

Yes, that match, had come as quite a shock to the gods present, to see a mortal suddenly reeking of a god and then back again to a mortal again.

People than had called for his universe for disqualification, because a god was not allowed to compete in the tournament so a mini investigation went on, which took only a couple of minutes that confirmed Zamastu was not in fact a god in disguised by a mortal who had pushed the boundary to godhood without actually obtaining godhood.

Either way, his universe was still very much in and he was left gloating for all to see.

Nobody could have imagined that Universe 12 could be this strong, it made them realize in horror what other nasty surprises that could be waiting for them in Universe 12.

The monster's of the tournament was still very much in, much to everybody else horror and excitement to go against one of them.

"I've never been this smug about anything before and to think, our universe was once on the receiving end of the fear which we now inspire." He said, it felt like just yesterday when he looked into those eyes of his people and had seen the hopelessness and despair in them.

And now look at them, full of so much fire and passion.

Although he did have to wonder, if he want a little overboard with the whole itch that never goes away, thing. He didn't think his desire for life to come back to their eyes, would produce something like a curse.

But then again...

They all seemed to enjoy the feeling, oddly enough...

It just goes to show you how crazy everyone was in Universe 12.

And as they both passed, they both noticed that they either got looks of respect or downright fear.

Radis thought it was a very good day indeed.

"By the way, Raid-sama" Thanatos said, "Isn't it nearly, the time of Shōri no hi? Are we going to miss it this year because of the tournament or are we going to drop out so that we can go home and celebrate it? After all, it is a pretty big festival that shows off our pride for those from Universe 12 and there is no other festival out there at the moment."

"Of course not, are you mad?" Radis said, why would they drop out now when they were winning?

"If we can't go to the festival, than the festival will come to us"

Ch 23: The Shōri no hi: The undisputed pride of Universe 12.

It was a day of rest for the contestants that managed to survive in the tournament, some spent their time training, others spent the time with their families while other's drunk till their purple.

Those in Universe 12, trained until their bodies couldn't take it like usual, which really wasn't anything new, but their mere presence in the tournament, ignited a flame that would have never been nearly as strong without them.

It was around three when all of Universe 12 fighters received a telepathic message from Radis-sama himself, calling to them, they all wasted no time in answering his call and heading to where they were needed.

They all left their rooms and entered a large room, but instead of the room being organized like a meeting like they thought, they were all surprised to find it resembling a large banquet hall, in the middle was a banner that said 'Shōri no hi'.

"That's..." Piepheo said, shocked like the rest of them.

"You didn't actually think, I would let you all miss the Shōri no hi, did you?" A voice from behind them said, and they turned to find none other than Radis-sama and Thanatos, they all immediately bowed.

"I talked to those from higher up about having something similar to the festival here but of course on a much smaller scale." Radis said, if it were up to him this whole realm would be the festive and by higher up, he meant going straight to the top and looking amazing while doing so. "For today, we are allowed to eat, drink and make merry, to celebrate our universes, Shōri no hi. I've also taken the time to write to all your friends and family members, inviting them over to join you. After all, the festival is at it's best when you celebrate it with your friends and family"

"Raids-sama..." Bildo said, truly thankful now he could spend a whole evening with his little sister.

However he too wasn't the only one a bit homesick, eager to see their friends and family again as they all were.

"So please sit down and have a good time, they will be joining us soon. So enjoy the food and the drink and the entertainment while you wait. Oh, and don't worry about getting drunk, I know how it dulls the sense, which some of you will need for tomorrow." he said, as he began to walk to his personal seat and they all didn't need to be told twice.

They all found seats with their names on and servants dressed as gods from other universes came in to serve them all food and drink, In the background the sound of soothing music played.

Radius and Thanatos had their own little corner, where the saiyan god had no problems with ripping a turkey leg from it's body and stuff his face with it.

It didn't take long for the other guests to arrive and when they did, things really got lively, especially when the Saiyan's graced the room.

And it got loud.

Really loud.

King Vegeta and Queen Bulma really went at it in arguing with each other.

Trunks and Goten, were seeing who could stuff as much food into their mouth without choking.

Junior, was trying to get cell service, even though they were in a whole different dimension outside all of their universes.

Kakarot, had to listen to Chi Chi complain, about his table manner as she tried to stop him from joining in, in what Trunks and Goten were doing.

Absalom, was just stuffing his face with sweats that he smuggled in.

A lot of them were quickly getting annoyed.

But trying to tell a pack of Saiyan to shut the hell up was like, telling a hyena not to laugh, it was impossible and frustrating.

So they all tried their best to ignore them.

"Daddy, can I have some more bread." Little Beel said, sitting proudly on her daddy laps.

"Sure" her daddy said, with love, taking a small chunk out of a large bread and giving it to her who smiled widely.

"Thank you, daddy" She said.

"No, problem" Zamastu said, giving his little girl a kiss on the cheek, while he held his wife's hand.

"Father, how is everybody back at home?" Waeh said, turning to the man who would have died by his hands in another time and universe.

Paragus.

His father.

The very man he should have despised for sealing his evil nature away for so long.

But since there were people around who could deal with a child who was born with a 10,000 power level, he never went insane for being born into such a high power and he wasn't forced to save his father before there was no danger.

Being born into an environment in which monster were born regular, meant that he never faced the problem of being too strong so his mind became much clearer and less consumed in madness.

As a result, he and his father were on surprisingly good terms.

"Your students miss you and are rooting for you" Paragus said, looking like he hadn't spent the last twenty or so years worrying that his own son would kill him in his sleep and said. "Don't worry, all your research notes are locked up and safe, away from public eye. I can't tell you how many times certain important people keep on knocking on my door looking for you. So come back quickly so you can straighten it all out and have them bothering you instead of me"

"Of course, father" Waeh said, chucking a bit as he took a sip of his non alcoholic wine and finding it tasted good.

Sudden the music changed and the room dimmed, several candles were light as they finally got to the main the main event, it was the reenactment of what happened on the day that brought their universe glory.

It was the day Universe 12 declared independence against the King of all and took a stand.

Paid actors had been hired to dress up as several of the gods that were reported to have being there and a short man played Zeno.

Everyone booed when the people representing universe 1-11 came in to cause havoc, looking evil, but cheered when the actors who were representing Universe 12 gods suddenly appeared, to drive the enemy back.

They than all booed when 'Zeno' showed up with his guards who were about the same size.

"Stop, this fight. Zeno-sama is here." A paid actor that played a god from universe 6 said.

The paid actors to played the universe 12 gods took one look at ''Zeno-sama' and laughed, before going back to fighting, much to the other paid actors 'confusion'.

And than 'Radis' came out, he was being played by a tall man who had guns of steel and had a jaw as if it he had stepped out of a photoshoot, a fake tail was poking out of his pants.

The real Radis was amazed by how accurate, this all was, they even got his handsomeness down.

'Thanatos' was played by a woman in a black cloak.

Radis wondered if the women would make it out of the room alive if Thanatos didn't like her.

Probably not.

"What's all the racket?" The man boomed.

The paid actors representing Universe 12 gods immediately humbled themselves before him.

"Hm, who is this pipsqueak?" The man boomed noticing 'Zeno-sama', and they all burst out laughing when 'Zeno-sama' took a step back in fear. "Leave my domain or face my awesome and powerful wrath coming from my big muscles."

Yep, very accurate, indeed.

One 'guard' took a step forward before rushing at the giant, only to be easily stopped and thrown into the other two.

"He's too strong!" One of the actors for the other universe's said.

"He's too cool!" Another actor said.

"He's so handsome!" Another one said.

And Thanatos made sure to suddenly had eyes just to roll them.

"How can we compete with that?" Another actor said, before 'Radis' took a step forward and the opposing actors took a step back before fleeing like cowards.

"Cowards, this is why my universe is the best" 'Radis' said, grinning before they all got up and clapped at the brilliant performance.

Meanwhile outside the room, certain people were trying to look in to see what was happening, there was no way that one single room making that much noise wouldn't compel people to find out the source.

"Damn it, it's so dark that I can't see anything." Champa said, what were they doing, where they having a secret meeting?

"At least you have a chance to see, I can't even get close to the window because of that big fat head of yours blocking the way" Beerus said.

"What was that?" Champa said, turning around to glare at his brother from another universe.

Pretty soon both gods of destruction were staring down each other and looking read to fight, it was at that moment that their guardians stepping in.

"No fighting between gods in the King dominan" Whis and Vados said, smacking both gods to the ground leaving a creator that they would fix later.

"Hey, the lights are up" 18 said and they all tried to squeeze in trying to see, but what they all saw next, had them all looking on with wide eyes.

Every single one of them were fighting, exchanging fist with one another and drawing blood.

It looked like a rough house.

"What the" Piccolo said, and he wasn't the only one as they all wondered why they were all suddenly fighting.

"I guess they have entered the third stage of the 'Shōri no hi'" A familiar voice said and they all turned to find the Grand Priest.

"Father" both Whis and Vados said, much to the Z fighters and others shock to find out the grand priest was in fact their father.

"Well, as long as they clean up after everything, it's not really a bother" The Grand priest said. "Maybe, they would injure themselves so much that they would be unable to fight tomorrow, this certainly can be a good thing for their competition."

"The Shori no hi?" Goku said, it looked like they were fighting for no apparent reason to him and to everybody else.

"I've heard stories but I never actually thought it existed since Universe 12 is so closed off" Whis said, thankfully his father was more informed about it than he was.

"The Shori no hi, is something that only exists in universe 12, there is no other festival like it" The Grand priest began to explain. "Apparently, it's important enough for the god Radis to talk to the King of All about and from what I could gather, it's a festival that shows off the pride of Universe 12. It's a festival to celebrate Universe 12 independence from the other universes"

"Their independence?" Vegeta said.

While a fully recovered Champa and Beerus looked like they were going to declare independence until they remembered who they going to break away from and promptly shut their mouth.

Their heads will soon roll if they ruined Zeno-sama, day.

"Well, it is kind of amazing." Piccolo said, "The fact that their still alive and kicking to this day after going against the King of all." of course he didn't mean to insult the King of all.

He wouldn't dare.

Champa and Beerus had enough sense to squash any pride that may appear out of nowhere.

"Not only that but they dare insult the King" The grand priest said, in an ominously dark tone, oh he wasn't happy that there was an existence out there that could make the King cry and get away with it scot free.

Accepting a Universe independence was one thing but having to endure the taunts and ridicule was another thing.

He was actually waiting for the chance for Radis to let his guard down so he could happily deliver his head to the Zeno-sama on a gold plate.

And the other's couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling coming from him as he started leaking killing intent that brought all of them to their knees and some were even unconscious.

W-What power Vegeta thought.

Meanwhile back in the room, nobody but Raidas and Thanatos know it but the room had been designed so that it would blocks certain things such as killing intent.

CRASH!

BANG!

"Abasolom, I see you are indeed my son." Vegeta from universe 12 said, his fist raised but it did nothing for when the pink haired boy appeared out of nowhere and performed a kick to the side of his face, and now he was laying in what used to be a perfectly good table.

Absolom than found himself dodging a punch from his older brother Trunks who came out of nowhere, their started a spare between them.

"So I heard your fighting tomorrow?" Trunks said, blocking a punch from his own little brother. "Who are you up against?"

"Some guy called Hit" Absalom said. "Don't know who he is, but he sounds cool"

And scene!

Next chapter, it's Hit vs Absalom and Hit finds out that Absalom is actually the worst possible opponent for him and the Z fighters make the connection between him and Buu and so does the Royal family of saiyans. Review/ fav and follow!
