Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Sunset frowned as she turned to Yulo “We didn’t mention the angel business to Seth when we arrived there did we?”

Yulo frowned “We better bring Beerus along or else Seth won’t be happy with us.”

Yulo teleported away arriving in front of a decorated palace, Beerus’ silver eyes met hers “Lady Yulo, what do I owe the pleasure?”

Yulo frowned “We are going to visit Seth and he wants to meet with you.”

Beerus nodded “Very well, I will come with.”

Yulo teleported the two into the portal room, Sunset smiled as she gestured to the portal “Shall we go.” Yulo bounced through smiling, Beerus walked through next with Sunset following.

Beerus looked around the trees of the Everfree “This place is a lot more beautiful than I remember.”

Sunset smiled “It is quite beautiful, we should go and check on Seth.”

Yulo burst off enthusiastically with Sunset and Beerus catching up to her quickly. They hover outside the Library to see Screwy, this world’s Twilight and Seth standing outside the Library. Seth flies up to them, stopping in front of them “The heck?”

Beerus smiled (Indeed it is. Hello Se.. wait a minute.) Beerus shouted “Are you a god of Destruction?!”

Seth and Beerus fly back down to the ground “Yes, also, what happened to your eyes?”

Beerus blinked for a moment “My eyes?” He the realised what he meant “Ah, yes. My eyes. Am I to assume you know about my recent …excursions?”

Seth frowned “Excursions?” Seth then nodded “Oh, you mean vanishing off to that Null place. Yes. Also.” Seth punched Beerus in the arm “That’s for worrying me.”

Beerus rubbed his arm “Ow. Since you know that, you’ll know why I was there.”

Seth who was poking around Beerus’ memories “Mostly. Being able to poke around your head helps.”

Beerus smiled "Good. Then you probably know that, through my soul-searching, I was able to… find myself, I guess. Through that, I have, at least partially, obtained Ultra Instinct."

Seth complemented his fellow God of Destruction “You got UI? Wow. Good for you.” Seth then punched him again, thankfully more lightly this time “You still really worried me thought.”

Beerus nodded apologetically "I am sorry for that, but it is what I needed to do."

Seth nodded "So, with that out of the way." He turned to Sunset and Yulo "I'm guessing you're here to pick me up for that meeting you mentioned?"

Yulo frowned “Not exactly, you see we forgot to inform you last time that every God of Destruction needs an Angel by their side for such a meeting.

Seth blinked “Angel?” He then nodded “Oh right. I forgot about that. And I guess Screwy doesn’t count for that?”

Sunset shook her head “No, Screwball is your Supreme Kai. They are you equal while an Angel is more a mix of a caretaker and Overseer, they make sure you are cared for but also pull you back into line if you go too far.”

Seth thought to himself “Oh. If that's their job then I think I have a candidate.” He turns to Bella who had just arrived behind him “Would you like to join the conversation?"

Bella stepped forward "You think I should be your Angel? Are you sure?"

Seth smiled "Why not. You're my best friend, you always kept me in line when we were kids and this way, neither of us get separated. We become the three musketeers, basically." She still looked hesitant. Seth sighed "Listen, if you don't think you're right for it, I can choose someone else. Okay?"

Bella called out turning to Sunset and Yulo “Wait.” She asked “What exactly does an Angel do?”

Sunset frowned “That varies from Angel to Angel, their main duty is to report to us if their God of Destruction is not doing their job properly. Also to help care for them which varies greatly, some Angels do a lot more than others depending on their God of Destruction’s capability in caring for themselves. Some let their God of Destruction get away with too much.”

Seth nodded "Well, that doesn't sound so bad. Not that you would… I just noticed something."

Screwy turned to him “What?”

Seth frowned "I haven't needed to eat or go to the toilet since I've been displaced. At least, I don't think so. I have barely eaten anything all week."

Bella raised an eyebrow “Could it be your powers? Because I haven't been hungry or thirsty since I bonded with Havoc.”

Seth nodded "That might be. Anyway, a topic for another time. Hng?" He stumbled slightly, there was a small spasm in his chest Seth frowned before shaking his head "Weird. Anyway, if you don't want to Bella, I might have an idea for somepony."

Chrysalis blinked “What?”

Seth turned to Sunset “Sunset? Do you want to explain?

Sunset nodded “Chrysalis, quite simply Seth is a God of Destruction and Screwball is God of Creation. The God of Destruction needs to have an overseer and caretaker, how much that role entails depends more on the God’s competence.”

Seth cut in “Just Overseer really.”

Beerus frowned “Whis did a lot more than that but I was a very lazy god with an over bloated ego. I really owe him for being so patient.”

Seth nodded “What they said. I think you would be a pretty good fit.”

Chrysalis blinked “Why me? Why not somecreature like Bella?”

Seth frowned "Already asked. She wasn't sure about it." He then smiled "So, I thought you could do it. Being a changeling queen can't be easy, so you must have experience with this kinda stuff, right?" I ask her.

Chrysalis grimaced "…Sure. Overseeing an entire hive wasn't easy but, I couldn't even do that right. My hive rebelled against me."

Seth shook his head "You were still evil back then. And now you've changed. It can't be that hard, right?"

Chrysalis frowned "Can you let me think about it?

Seth nodded “Of course.” He then turned to everyone else "Welp, that's all the candidates I could think of."

Screwy frowned "There were only two of them."

Seth shrugged "And that's all I could think of."

Screwy smiled "Well… could we maybe do something fun?"

Yulo grinned as she clicked her fingers and it started raining cheese “Cheese for everyone!”

Seth got an idea as he watched the cheese fall "First to catch as much cheese without letting it touch the ground wins!" Seth began moving at rapid speed catching as much cheese as possible.

Sunset deadpanned as she watched the cheesefest in front of her “Is this really what we are doing? I’m going to take a nap.” She walked over to the side of the Library and laid down next to it. She started to snore loudly.

Seth poked her side "Oh come on Sunset. Have some fun!" She rolls over and forms a barrier around herself, Seth frowned “Fine. Go ahead and have your nap.” Yulo is zipping around even faster than Seth was, Screwball was using a massive fishing net. Seth frowned “Screwy. MANUALLY catch the cheese."

Screwball rolled her eyes and emptied her net into the air, now wearing a helmet and roller skates. Seth called out “That’s the spirit!”

Five minutes later all the cheese was caught, Yulo was in first place with two hundred and seventy four pieces of cheese. No one was able to figure out how she stacked them that high, Seth was second with one hundred and one. Beerus came in third starting part way through with sixty pieces of cheese. Screwball was just slightly behind in last place with fifty eight pieces of cheese.

Screwy moaned “Drat. So close.”

Beerus raised an eyebrow "So, are there any prizes?"

Seth thought for a moment before smirking “Snowball to the face.” He made one in his hand and tossed at Beerus “One for you.” He then made two clones to throw them at himself “Two for me.” He then turned to Yulo “And three for you!” Yulo dodged them only to get grabbed by two clones phasing out of the ground , Seth shook his head as the three of them threw the snowballs “No dodging!”

Yulo’s face is covered in snow as Seth shouted “Bullseye!”

Yulo laughed “Okay. you got me good!” She then turned to Sunset “We are not going to be able to wake her up, I once dropped an infinite conceptual overwhelm cascade detonation on her head and she didn’t even budge. That could have destroyed reality if it didn't hit her.”

Seth raised an eyebrow at this "Are you sure you don't need an Angel?"

Yulo pulled out a balloon and whacked him with it “That was not funny.”

Seth pulls his head out of the ground and apologises “I can see that, sorry.” Seth smiled “I have an idea.”

Yulo blinked “What?”

Seth started to transform “First one to the edge of the universe wins.” He formed a portal in front of himself, he came out a light-year or two from the edge “Dang, a little off.”

By the time he arrived there were one hundred Yulo’s waiting for him, Yulo rolled her eyes “Races don’t mean much when you are above the very concept of speed itself, it’s why Sunset and I don’t race anymore. It means little.”

Seth frowned “Oh. Drat. Oh well. Can’t blame me for- *bam!*” He is cut off by an asteroid slamming into the back of his head “..Really.” Yulo started giggling, Seth deadpanned “That wasn’t funny, Pinkie.”

Yulo calmed down and retorted “Oh come on. It was a little funny.” They both fly back, avoiding more asteroids as well as some of the planets and solar systems Screwball created. Some were really interesting while other were quite wacky. They soon landed back in Ponyville.

Chrysalis walked up to the group “Hi. I think I will accept your offer.”

Seth frowned “Are you sure?”

Chrysalis looked at him with determination sparkling in her eyes “Yes, You can count on me.”

Yulo smiled “Well then.” Yulo clicked her fingers, power surged into Chrysalis as a halo appeared around her neck as a long staff with a black orb that was surrounded by a vertical light blue ring. Yulo explained “That halo shows you are at full power and that is your staff, all Angels carry one if they are overseers to a God of Destruction. There are a few who aren’t but they are in training.”

Chrysalis smiled "Wow. Thank you. I'll do my best. I promise."

Seth patted her shoulder “I know you will.” He then turned to Yulo "It's been very nice seeing you again."

Yulo smiled “Likewise, I’ll see you at the meeting. I will take Sunset to our bed so she can rest.”

Beerus gave him a thumbs up “I can’t wait to see my brother's reaction at the meeting. I'll see you there.”

Seth smiled “Likewise.” He then got his attention “Also.” Beerus turned around “Don’t forget to tell your friends your back. And don't let Goku pressure you into fighting him. Got it?"

He looked surprised for a moment but, after niggling around Seth’s head for a second, he smiled "Sure. Take care, friend." He then turned back to Yulo.

Yulo clicked her fingers and Sunset appeared in her right arm, Yulo smiled “Farewell everyone.” She clicked her fingers and the three of them vanished in a bright flash of light. Yulo laid down Sunset in their bed, she then teleported Beerus back to his planet. She then laid down next to Sunset, when they both awoke next they would get the date for the meeting organised.
