-Some-time earlier, before the start of the match-

Beerus was doing what he did best. Napping.

"My lord Beerus. Aren't you going to watch the upcoming fight?"

Beerus opened his eyes half-heartedly. The speaker was a man with blue skin, a unique white hairdo, red robes, and a halo around his neck and shoulders.

"Whis. The opening fights are always the most boring. Wake me when we get to, oh, let's say, round six or seven. Good stuff always happens around then. But until then, unless you have something delicious to eat, leave me be" Beerus said in a tone that indicated he had no interest in continuing this conversation.

Shrugging, Whis turned and started to leave. He had been with Beerus long enough to know that arguing with him would have been pointless. But before he could open the door, it swung open, allowing Zeus to stride in. Whis dodged the door and gave Zeus a friendly smile. "Lord Zeus. To what do we owe you the plea-"

"Leave us, angel. This is a matter of the gods, not you" Zeus rudely interrupted. Shrugging, Whis left him to be alone as he strode to the G.O.D. Beerus looked up at Zeus, as if the eleven-foot tall, muscular, bearded old man was a spoiled child about to ask him for candy. "What do you want?" he asked in an annoyed voice, getting more frustrated that no one would let him take his nap.

"I demand you to fight in round two."

Beerus gave him an offended look. "I'm sorry. I must have misheard you. What did you say?"

"I will not tolerate your insolence," the king of Olympus said, "now get to the arena now."

Beerus said nothing for a few seconds before frowning. "And why, pray tell me, should I do that?" he said in a voice dripping in sarcasm and disgust.

"That foolish princess is trying to reinstall hope by sending a well-known hero to fight. And I want you to fight him instead of Yasha. If the hero dies, humanity's hope will die with him, and they will surrender, allowing us to end this nonsense once and for all."

"Hmmmm…No"

Zeus growled as his white, pupiless eyes sparked with electricity. "That wasn't a question" he growled. "But I don't want to" Beerus said.

"Beerus. If the humans surrender, we can establish order here and now!"

"But. I. Don't. Want. To."

Zeus growled in annoyance. Beerus's stubbornness was getting on his nerves. "Would you rather sit here and do nothing then?" he asked. "Yes" Beerus replied without hesitation.

"You do realize that the sooner humanity is wiped, the sooner you can get back to whatever you want to do."

That finally got Beerus's attention. He slowly rose from his seat. "Fine. If only because I just want to move on to doing nothing sooner rather than later. But. This better be a good fight for me. Or else."

With that, the god of destruction left. Zeus gave a slight grin. Soon, humanity's hope would be vanquished. And Charlie would be severely punished for this insult.


Beerus raised his hand and pointed it at All-Might. All-Might clenched his fists and got into a combat stance. For a few seconds, neither moved. Then, Beerus started the battle by firing a series of quick energy blasts at the hero. All-Might nimbly weaved through each blast as he closed the distance, pulling back a fist. He then threw a powerful punch at Beerus, just for the deity of destruction to kick his hand away at the last second. He then followed it up with a powerful spin-kick to the hero's jaw. All-Might was sent flying backwards into several buildings, making them crumble on top of him. Beerus then pointed at the rubble and charged up a purple energy ball.

"Hakai"

He then launched it, causing everything to disintegrate. He smirked. That was too easy.

"California Smash!"

Suddenly, before Beerus could even react, All-Might summersalted towards him and landed a punch straight into the cat's face. A loud crunch was heard as Beerus's head snapped back. The hero then landed several more punches on his opponent before grabbing him by the neck.

"Oklahoma SMASH!"

He then spun like a top, making Beerus disoriented. The next thing he knew, Beerus found himself being thrown through several planetoids, each one breaking like an egg. Growling, Beerus flew towards his opponent like a missile. All-Might turned and aimed a punch at the ground.

"New Hampshire Smash!"

The moment he threw the punch, All-Might shot through the air like a bullet. The moment the two met, they broke into a flurry of punches and kicks. The shockwaves reduced any nearby structures to rubble, be it planet or building. Beerus tried to break through with a hammer-fist, but All-Might countered with a solid karate chop, knocking the purple cat's hand away. All-Might then wrapped his arms around the G.O.D and threw him for a pile-driver, creating a giant crater when they hit the terra-firma.

"Wow. Your brother is getting his butt kicked" Collector said.

Champa groaned and rolled his eyes. "Of course he is. That idiot never takes anything seriously unless he has to." He leaned back and smirked. "Of course, that doesn't mean I enjoy seeing this. Lazy shit had this coming for a while."

Beerus rose to his feet and quickly dodged a follow-up punch. He fired several blasts of energy at his foe, forcing him to block them by crossing his arms in front of his face. Each hit pushed the hero back slightly, but that wasn't the true intention. While All-Might was distracted with the blasts, Beerus quickly flew behind him and wrapped his tail around his neck. He then slammed him into the ground repeatedly, before grabbing him by the head and dragged him through the rubble.

"Oh! The fight has just begun and both fighters are wasting no time getting violent! What a show! What a show!" Asmodeus said with glee.

In the stands, Charlie watched with fear. Even with the boost in power making them almost equal, All-Might was on the ropes. She prayed that he would pull through.

"All-Might. Tex. Please. Win this" she cried.

"Hey. What's with the frown, Chuck?"

A friendly voice emitted from behind her. Turning, she saw a new demon. This one was a ten-foot creature resembling a combination of a bee and a fox, with yellow fur, feelers on her large ears, and a mane and tail that seemed to be made of a shimmering rainbow-colored substance. This was Beelzebub, the queen of gluttony.

"I heard my boo was fighting with the human you chose so I had to like, watch this" she said as she sat next to the princess.

"So how's it going?"

"Not good" Charlie said flatly.

"Oh…I see. Well. Don't worry. Like, the fight is just starting~"

Meanwhile, in another section of the booths, three boys were watching. One had blonde hair that resembled a spikey explosion and a permanent scowl on his face, one had green hair and a hopeful face, and the third had white and red hair with a huge scar on his left eye.

"KILL HIM, ALL-MIGHT! RIP HIS UGLY HEAD OFF AND SHOVE IT UP HIS ASS! TEAR HIM IN HALF LIKE A PIECE OF PAPER! SHOW HIM WHY YOU'RE THE NUMBER ONE HERO!" Bakugo, the blonde, yelled at the top of his voice. "Bakugo. I think you're going a little to far," said Izuku, the green haired kid, "and besides, the fight is just…"

"SHUT UP, DEKU YOU DUMBASS! ALL-MIGHT NEEDS ALL OUR SUPPORT!"

Shoto, the white and red-haired boy, rolled his eyes.

Beerus then smashed All-Might into the ground, and flipped kicked him away. Luckily for the number 1 hero, he landed perfectly on his feet. All-Might gave a hearty laugh at the turn of events.

"Incredible! I can see why you're regarded so highly as a god!" All-Might proclaimed. Beerus grinned. "Well, I am a god of destruction after all" the cat said with false modesty.

"However. If you don't go all-out, you will never defeat me"

Beerus's grin faded. "Bah. Why do I have to give more than what I need? Besides, if I go all out, your body will most likely disintegrate trying to mirror it"

Charlie gasped in horror as the realization hit her like a wrecking ball. Zeus didn't just put Beerus up against All-Might because of his strength. It was also because he could turn his deal's greatest strength into a weakness, and that the only reason All-Might's body wasn't failing was because Beerus was toying with his opponent, like a cat toying with a mouse.

All-Might's smile also faded for a split second. But then, a new one came back on, along with a hearty laugh. "Ahahaha! Then don't say I didn't warn you."

All-Might then began throwing punches like a machine gun, sending bullets of air at the feline. Beerus stuck a hand out and fired ki blasts in return, lighting the air around them up like fireworks. This was all a ruse, however, as All-Might promptly disappeared from Beerus's line of sight. Beerus scanned the area for his foe, wondering where he went.

"Pennsylvania SMASH!"

All-Might ambushed Beerus with a powerful spin-kick to his opponent's jaw. Beerus stumbled back and spat out a bloody tooth. Before he could do anything else, All-Might leapt over his opponent and wrapped both his hands around his face.

"Rhode Island Smash!"

With an epic flip, Beerus bounced off the ground into a footstool stomp to the chest. Beerus threw his foe off and fired a crescent-shaped beam of haki, making the hero dodge before it touched him, making the beam disintegrate the buildings and planetoids behind him.

"Beerus is wiping out everything in hopes All-Might is one of them! But All-Might keeps on his toes and dodges! But the champion of peace can't win by dodging alone! What will he do next?" Asmodeus exclaimed.

Beerus then flew like an arrow at All-Might, teeth clenched like a vice. "You have fought valiantly, mortal. But I know all your tricks! Prepare for destruction!"

However, before he could lay a hand on the hero, a massive cloud of white smoke appeared, cutting off Beerus's sight.

"What's this!? A smokescreen!? Where did that come from!?" Asmodeus yelled.

As Beerus rubbed his eyes, trying to see, he felt a sharp punch to his stomach, making him double forwards. Then came a flip kick to the jaw, knocking his jaw and body to the air. All-Might finished his combo with a two-handed hammer-fist to Beerus's chest and stomach, knocking him to the ground with enough force to disperse the smokescreen.

In the stands, Shoto eyed Izuku. "Izuku. Wasn't that one of your techniques?"

Izuku shrugged. "Sort of. I wasn't the first to use it. I just learned how to used it. But he always had it deep within him, I guess."

With Charlie's group, the princess let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness. He's holding his own" she said.

"See? And you were so scared. Like, relax! We got this" said Bee.

Angel Dust was still unsure about that though. "Uh, Charlie? How did he literally blow a bunch of smoke out of his ass?" he asked. Charlie put a finger to her chin in thought before snapping her fingers in realization.

"I got it! Thanks to him being both in his prime AND mirroring Beerus's power, he's able to access powers of the other carriers of his power, the One-For-All."

Beerus sputtered a bit before getting back. A smile grew on his face in excitement.

"Hmmm…I should thank Zeus for talking me into this. You are a worthy opponent. For that, I'll give you a little more of my power" the cat said.

All-Might got into a combat stance. "Bring it!" he bellowed.

Beerus then let out a roar as a purple aura flared around him. This was going to be a fun experience for the god. But he didn't power up too much.

After all, where's the fun in that?

Beerus and All-Might are pulling out some big tricks early. But who will have the last laugh?
