33 Dinner With a Destroyer

"This is where you live?" Beerus asked, pointing towards my house with a stunned expression.

"Yes, Lord Beerus." I nodded.

Beerus was in utterly befuddled. Why was he staying in such a small accommodation? With the child's overwhelming power, he could've kicked the Saiyan King on his Royal behind and taken the castle for himself.

After he snapped out of his shock, I led him inside, instantly met with the sight of Raditz waiting on the inside. He opened his mouth to speak, but he instantly stopped and slowly looked up towards the face of the God of Destruction.

He blinked for a few seconds before pointing towards Beerus and saying, "What's that funny looking cat?"

My eyes widened in fear before I instantly appeared behind Raditz and smacked him into the ground, knocking him out instantly.

"Zyleth, what are you--?!"

"I'm sorry! So very sorry, Lord Beerus! Please forgive my brother for his disrespect!" I exclaimed, interrupting my mother as I bowed over and over again to the Destroyer.

"Brother?" Beerus asked with a raised eyebrow as he crouched down and looked at Raditz. "Hmm..." He grabbed Raditz by the collar and lifted him off the ground as he inspected him closely.

Gine stepped out of the kitchen and was about to say something when I grabbed her attention and shook my head vigorously at her. She seemed to understand my intentions and didn't say anything, only looking on with worry as the complete stranger held her unconscious son.

Beerus looked towards Whis and shook his head before laying Raditz back on the ground.

Seeing that my brother was now out of his hands, I shakily let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

"Zyleth, who are these people you've brought over?" My mother asked, looking over with a polite, but cautious stare.

"Mother, this a Lord Beerus and his attendant, Whis. They are... friends of the King. Lord Beerus, Whis, this is my mother, Gine" I introduced them.

""Pleasure to meet you, Gine."" Whis and Beerus both said at the same time.

My mother's eyes widened before she looked towards me again. "The King has friends with manners?"

"Shocking, isn't it..." I muttered under my breath as I placed my unconscious brother on the couch.

"Yes, we were stopping by to see King Vegeta and we couldn't help but notice your son. See, his actions did me a wonderful service and I couldn't help but want to introduce myself." Beerus said with a polite smile before looking around. "Is his father home as well?"

"Bardock? Oh no, he's out training with his team, but he'll be home later tonight." Gine said, responding with a smile of her own before heading back towards the kitchen. "I was just making dinner. You both are welcome to join us while you wait."

"Thank you, that is most kind." Beerus replied with a nod.

Oh crap...

"Well that's great! I'll just go put Raditz to bed!" I said before grabbing Raditz off the couch and running into my room.

I peek out to see if anyone had followed me before shutting the door. Hurriedly, I take out my ring and earring from within my armguard and hide it underneath my nightstand.

"Sorry, little brother." I said, looking over to the unconscious Raditz laying on my bed. "Hopefully you'll thank me later for that knock out..."

"Zyleth?" I heard my mother's voice from behind the door as she knocked.

I quickly adjust my armguard and let her in the room.

"What's going on? Who are those people?" She asked.

I shush her immediately and look out the door, checking if there was anyone within earshot before softly closing it.

"I don't know who they are exactly." I lied right through my teeth. "But Vegeta and I walked into the throne room and saw that cat guy stepping on King Vegeta."

"What?!" She exclaimed.

I shush her again, making her cover her mouth with an apologetic gaze before confusion suddenly arised.

"Why are you so afraid? C-Can't you just... get rid of him?" She asked, her voice in a quiet whisper.

"Mother, Vegeta tried charging at him and that cat knocked him out with a look! A look!" I emphasized.

As strong as I am, I've never been able to knock someone out with a damn look before.

I'm honestly jealous.

Gine's eyes widened in shock, finally seeing the situation that we're now in.

"What are we going to do?" She asked.

"Just don't piss him off. Both of them like food, so just try and make a delicious meal like always." I told her.

Before she could even say anything else, her eyes suddenly widened even more with some sort of realization.

"Zyleth... Your father is out there with him..." She said shakily.

"What?! I thought he was out training!" I yelled out.

"He came home early!" She yelled back.

This entire back and forth was put to a halt when we both heard laughing coming from outside.

We both gave each other looks of confusion before walking back out towards the living room and seeing that Bardock and Beerus were sitting at the table, laughing as if they were old drinking buddies.

"Then Fasha knocks the little runt's face right into the ground!" Bardock shouted as he hit his knee with his fist.

Beerus seems to laugh harder as he struggles to catch his breath.

Meanwhile, I'm looking at all of this as if I had died and had somehow gone into to alternate reality. We weren't even gone for two minutes! How could they have this much of a rapport?!

"Hey, Zyleth, you're back! How was the mission?" My father asked as he finally noticed my presence.

"Mission?" Beerus asked.

"Mhm. He went off-world to conquer a... solar system, was it?" Bardock asked, to which I just absentmindedly nodded my head. "I didn't know you came back today."

"Well now, child. Come over and share in your exploits." Beerus said as he patted a spot on the table.

This is the most wildest thing I've ever witnessed in my life... and I've bare witness to a horde of Foolaats...

Feeling the cool night air, we all had gathered outside to bid farewell to the cat man and his attendant.

"Thank you for such a marvelous feast. You are a very excellent cook." Beerus said, giving thanks to my mother.

"Yes, it was quite tasty." Whis added with a nod.

"Oh, thank you very much." Gine smiled at him.

Dinner, surprisingly enough, went on without a single hitch. All Beerus did was ask questions about the planets I conquered recently, mostly about the animals of said planets, and gushed over my mother's food.

I would honestly say that I would want to have him as a guest again if I wasn't in fear for my life every second I was in his immediate vicinity.

Good guy. Terrifying to be around. Would only recommend on special occasions. 6 out of 10.

"Well, we must be going now. I'm very overdue for a long nap." Beerus said as he stretched out and yawned.

"Farewell, you three. It was a most pleasant evening." Whis said.

The Destroyer and Angel were suddenly clocked in a bright white light before shooting off into the sky, hopefully never to be seen again.

"We should invite them over the next time they're here." Bardock said before walking back into the house.

Gine and I looked towards each other with wry smiles before following after him.

I hope to never do that again...

"For Saiyans, they were quite a nice bunch. Better than that King and his rowdy offspring, that's for sure." Beerus commented.

"Yes, they were surprisingly good natured. Quite unusual for Saiyans to be that accommodating." Whis nodded. "We even got a few good dinner destinations from the child. All in all, a worthwhile little pit stop."

"Yes, that child was very helpful." Replied Beerus, licking his lips as he thought about the delicious animals that he could now try thanks to the information Zyleth had given. "Although he's very unusual. Are you sure that those two Saiyans are his biological parents?"

"Yes, my Lord, I even checked them over just to be sure." Whis said, the figurehead on his staff glowing green. "Though you could probably tell just by looking as his father. The boy is basically a one for one copy."

"Then what could possibly have happened for a Saiyan child to have the same energy as a god?" Beerus asked.

At first, Beerus and Whis had thought that there had been a rogue Kai going around and mating with mortals. While it wasn't necessarily against the rules for Kais to intermingle with mortals, it definitely wasn't something that you were supposed to be doing in vast numbers.

That's why they were so curious about Zyleth's parentage.

"I'm not a hundred percent certain, my Lord." Whis shook his head, also not having one clue as to why Zyleth's energy had been so close to that of a god's. "But I do have my suspicions."

Whis' staff suddenly glowed and emitted a small beam, showing an image of what looks to be a destructive battle in the distant past.

"Oh?" Beerus muttered, intrigued by what Whis about to share.

"When I looked through that Saiyan couple's history, I found something very peculiar about their ancestry. Specifically on his father's side." Whis told him as the image began to move, showing the a particular Saiyan surrounded by five other Saiyans. "It seems that a long time ago, a civil war broke out on Planet Vegeta. Resulting in one side utilizing a form of ritual to temporarily turn one of their comrades into what they called a "Saiyan God."

"Saiyan God?" Beerus rubbed his chin in thought. "And this child, this Zyleth, is descended from such a person?"

"It seems so." Whis nodded.

"And this Saiyan God? What was his name? What happened to him?" Beerus asked.

"Yamoshi, my Lord." Whis relied before looking into his staff with a watchful eye. "And it seems that he brought peace to the planet for a small time before he was suddenly killed by another Saiyan named Cumber."

"I assume that his offspring had survived somehow?" Beerus asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. He had two sons. One of them going by the name Shallot and the other going by Giblet." Whis answered.

"Hm..." Beerus grumbled, his mind filled with thoughts about this sudden new development. "Well that's good then. It would've been a shame if we had to go back and destroy the child. I quite enjoyed his mother's cooking."

If there weren't any rules that had been broken then it wasn't his problem.

"Quite fortunate indeed." Whis replied.
