“More difficult on you? Well, if that's the case then I accept that condition.” he says with a smug grin. Beerus looks both you and Cooler over, eyes narrowed but doesn't contest the decision. “I'll get the arena set up, and have Vados give you the location. I'll have everything ready one week from today.”
“One week? Very well. I accept the terms.” Beerus says, both Destroyers standing and facing each other. “But when you lose, those Super Dragon Balls will be mine.”
“Heh, fat chance! Just try not to cry when I beat you, brother!” Champa says, looking quite smug before turning to his assistant. “Let's get out of here, Vados. We have a tournament to prepare.”
“Very well.” she says with a nod, looking to her brother. “Until next time, brother.”
“Yes, until then.” Whis replies, both angels being quite polite to each other. Champa then heads towards the door, stopping and looking to you. “I'm expecting to see you there. I cannot wait for my fighters to crush you.”
“Bring out your very best, I'll take them all down.” you reply, Champa scoffing and walking to the door. Where, just as he almost makes it there the door opens, Broly and Kori standing outside it. They both freeze, no doubt recognizing his attire as well as Vados' resemblance to her brother.

Your son's eyes then go back into the mess hall, and upon seeing you and Meloka, as well as Beerus and Whis lets out a tired-seeming sigh, muttering, “Dammit.”
“It is quite alright. I am sure it can be remade.” she says, reaching up and putting a hand on his cheek. And suddenly, you realize why Silver had so much food ready in such a short time. Why there were so many dishes, but not the usual quantities of things you were used to.
“Broly? Kori?” Meloka asks, getting up from the table and walking over. “What's going on?”
“We were just coming to perform a taste test, to see how the food for our wedding dinner would turn out.” she tells your wife, you glancing over to Beerus. Who is idly picking food from between his teeth with a claw, paying it no mind. Of course he wouldn't care. “I take it that everything was satisfactory?”
