On Planet Algone, Beerus found himself descending into the strange sight of a planet covered in... ruins, rather than civilization. In the distance, their cities were massive concrete, metal and glass monuments standing as a testament to the apocalypse that had occurred here. Whis guided him towards a village of tall stones and rocks, and it was there that they met the enduring inhabitants of the world.
A stoic and large race of rocky creatures calling themselves the Pebblemen, stewards of Algone. And a small race of tiny creatures hiding themselves in cloaks, curious little peepers known as the Shishishiki, the original race that inhabited this world.
<span class="mu-s">"Quite a fascinating history this planet must have. Tell me, Pebbleman, how did your kind come to exist on it?"</span>
"....Long ago, bombs fell from the sky... the neutron sparks of the Algonic Holocaust... the Shishishiki chose to wipe themselves out to the last. Before Shishishiki of intelligence all finally withered, created us Pebblemen as their last act. Now, Shishishiki have degenerated.... they are small and weak, and dumb. Pebblemen have learned the lesson of life from the end. Now, Pebblemen will take care of Shishishiki, one day raise into better race, and rebuild world."
<span class="mu-s">"I see. So you're like caretakers then. These midgets blew themselves up, but they created you automatons to ensure they'd survive and eventually prosper again."</span>
The Pebbleman meekly nodded.
<span class="mu-s">"You know, usually, when I come across post-apocalyptic worlds, it's instant destruction."</span>
"Apocalypse, sign of failure. Unworthy of getting second chance, risking doing all over again." The Pebbleman deduced, monotonously.
<span class="mu-s">"Indeed. Most races I've seen that underwent their own annihilation only survived off their planets, or by going into space. However, this is the first time I've seen a species survive their apocalypse and still inhabit their planet. It's not totally beyond repair. For that, I'm willing to give you all a chance to impress me."</span> Beerus explained, eyeing the strange short little beings that were all gathered to watch him with fascination.
The Pebbleman nodded.
"Pebbleman will show you how Pebblemen cook for Shishishiki. Follow."
The large golem stomped off, myriad Shishishiki following behind in its shadow in a row. Beerus and Whis trailed behind the Pebbleman into their "kitchen", which was more or less a row of stone walls. All their architecture now was simply hedges of tall carved rocks dividing into rooms with no roofs. The primary reason was for them to be able to burn campfires for warmth in every room without the smoke clouding up. But their "kitchen", admittedly, was well stocked and equipped.
