Whis glanced inside the dimensional space of his staff and shook his head with a hint of regret.
"Lord Beerus, I'm afraid the pizzas are all gone…"
"What?!"
Beerus' pupils contracted.
He stared in disbelief. "Didn't we bring a ton of food?!"
He even waved his arms to indicate the size.
Whis simply replied, "I'm not sure. Perhaps Lord Beerus just ate too quickly…"
"Nonsense! That's impossible, I'm not—!"
Beerus suddenly stopped mid-sentence and looked up toward the three figures in the sky, eyes narrowing.
"Tell me—did you three eat it?!"
The trio froze.
Seeing their awkward expressions, Beerus let out a cold laugh.
"Aha! So it was you! Just you wait!"
With a boom, his figure exploded upward.
The ground beneath him shattered into craters.
Seeing this, the trio's expressions instantly changed.
Goku and Vegeta immediately transformed into Super Saiyan Blue, while Broly shifted into his regular Legendary Super Saiyan form.
Of course, the transformations weren't to fight back.
They were to run!
Why?
Because they couldn't win!
"You think you can run?!"
With three precise, divine smacks, Beerus easily knocked the trio into the ground like ragdolls.
The three of them groaned in pain, flattened into the dirt.
Beerus snorted coldly. "Try stealing my food again, and next time it won't be this easy!"
At that moment, Whis' voice came through.
"Lord Beerus, come quickly."
Beerus looked confused. "What is it?"
Whis' tone was rare—serious.
"Just look at this."
Before them, a mysterious projection lit up.
Beerus frowned. "Huh? Is that… another Super Dragon Ball?"
Whis nodded. "Not just that—there's more."
The footage accelerated—
Beerus' expression darkened as the scene clearly showed Champa and Vados recovering a Super Dragon Ball.
His eyes turned sharp with fury. "So they really came to my territory and did whatever they pleased, huh?!"
Whis added with a chuckle, "It's clear from the footage—my sister and Lord Champa."
Beerus slammed his palm down. "Unforgivable! Let's go pay them a little visit. I'd like to see how many guts Champa thinks he has coming here to mess around in my universe!"
Whis calmly added, "They may already be aware of us watching them."
Beerus sneered. "So what? Coming here, chasing my people—do they think I won't do anything?!"
Ignoring the three still groaning in pain on the ground, the two blasted off in a beam of destructive divine energy.

Inside the spacecraft—
Aishi leaned back in the captain's seat, Tights sitting beside him.
She was tapping away at the control console, asking the onboard AI: "Little Tower, what's our distance?"
The robot AI flashed with light and responded crisply,
"Remaining distance to the Southern Galaxy's Pumbui System: one trillion kilometers. Estimated arrival: one minute."
Aishi raised an eyebrow. "That fast?"
Tights smiled, "Of course. This is the latest design from Bulma. Thanks to the warp drive enhancements, it's super quick now. Planet Namek, 65 light years away, only took five days."
Aishi nodded, once again marveling at the power of scientific genius.
Soon after—
The spacecraft entered a new star system.
And the very moment they crossed its border, Aishi felt something.
A powerful, primitive energy surged toward him.
His eyes narrowed. "So this is Rigor, huh?" (TL: Didn't know about this dude. It's from a doujin)
This guy wasn't suppressing his power at all—just letting it leak out freely.
This was a first for Aishi.
Maintaining full power at all times, a constant release, with no attempt to hide it…
This man had guts.
Tights' face paled. Although she wasn't a fighter, she still instinctively felt uneasy, like a mountain was pressing on her chest.
Aishi immediately noticed and with a wave of his hand—
A stronger ki barrier surged out, shielding her from the pressure.
Tights finally let out a breath.
"Jeez… terrifying. This is why I said I'm never coming here again."
She clutched her chest and added, "Ever."
Aishi replied softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."
The spaceship descended.
"We've arrived at Planet Pumbui."
With that, the AI fell silent—likely due to local magnetic interference forcing shutdown.
Aishi opened the hatch.
The warm wind blew in as he stepped outside, Tights following close behind.
The terrain was a vast, empty wasteland—no signs of civilization. Just endless sandstorms.
Not exactly a livable place…
But still a bit better than the Vacuum Zone.
Just then—
Several figures rapidly approached them from the distance.
Leading them was a tall, burly, shirtless man with sharp features, a muscular build—and a face that looked uncannily like Vegeta's.
He had a tail behind him.
Following him was a Saiyan woman in full battle armor—clearly his wife.
Behind them were what appeared to be their children.
As Aishi observed them, they did the same.
The youngest daughter scowled and asked, "Who are you?"
Rigor's expression didn't change. "Are you a Saiyan?"
Aishi nodded. "Yes."
Rigor turned his attention to Tights and frowned,
"You're that woman from before…"
Aishi calmly answered, "She's my woman."
Rigor's face darkened. "Vegeta?"
He didn't care about anything else—but he clearly heard that name.
That name was a nightmare—a thorn that never left his heart.
Next to him, Supa's expression turned ugly.
"See? I told you—she's from Earth! She's with Vegeta's spawn!"
He stood silently for a moment. "At this point, there's no point in second guessing."
He looked at Aishi and Tights. "They've delivered themselves to our door."
Hearing this, Aishi's expression remained unchanged.
Rigor's tone was icy. "Since you're connected to Vegeta—and came here yourself—then I have no choice but to kill you."
Aishi answered calmly, "You can try… if you're capable."
Rigor chuckled—clearly amused.
He thought Aishi was ignorant.
Rigor sneered, "I don't know where you crawled out from, but let me share something horrifying."
He looked at Aishi, hoping to see panic or fear.
But Aishi's expression remained utterly calm.
Rigor frowned.
He thought Aishi was just pretending to be tough.
After all, what kind of Saiyan wouldn't be terrified by the idea of someone born with a power level of 50,000?!
Aishi turned to Tights.
"You should head back."
Tights gave a small nod—she felt extremely uncomfortable here.
Aishi touched her hand—
Zuuun!
He used Shunkan Idō (Instant Transmission) to teleport her back to Earth.
The Saiyan family's expressions all changed.
"He disappeared?!"
Rigor's eldest son, Orlen, shouted in surprise.
But Rigor didn't react. He calmly said,
"That's Instant Transmission. Look, he's back already."
As he spoke—
Aishi reappeared in the exact same spot.
He and Rigor locked eyes.
No one spoke.
The air grew thick.
Rigor narrowed his gaze. "Since you mentioned Vegeta, I assume you know our history."
Aishi nodded without a word.
Rigor grinned darkly.
"I'm Vegeta's older brother. Branded a mutant from birth—the so-called 'Ancient Saiyan Prince.'"
Aishi nodded again.
Supa's face turned grim. "No need to waste breath, Rigor. He's clearly here to challenge you—probably that woman's partner."
Rigor agreed, looking at Aishi coldly.
"So, Aishi, huh? You just saved me a trip to Earth."
"You'll be the first to die."
Rigor had originally planned to go hunting soon—but it looked like prey had delivered itself instead.
Aishi narrowed his eyes. "So, are you going to fight or not?"
Rigor's face twisted.
He stopped talking—
And then…
A savage, ancient force burst from his body!
A golden aura exploded into the sky!
His ki was ferocious, carrying a primal power from a distant past.
This was the aura of a warrior born from blood and fire—the mark of a true Ancient Saiyan!
