But there's one thing that you should know.” you say, seeing the Destroyer's brow raise as you talk. “Everything that I've done, it has all been for one purpose. I have done everything within my power to protect my family, no matter the cost I have to pay. Even when that meant plunging directly into the Abyss itself, which I've done several times now, Destroyer. Not even the Dark can stop me, when it comes to keeping my family safe. ALL of my family.”
“Huuuh? I think you misunderstood me.” Beerus says, closing his eyes and lowering his head a moment with a sigh before looking back up to you. “I mean what is your goal with this? You've brought four Demon Realm inhabitants through the veil separating the mortal and demon realms, from another timeline no less into this reality. Along with three other living beings not from this timeline. You've broken quite a few rules, Saiyan.”
“And? They're my family.” you tell him defiantly. “Maza, Milha, and Koruza are my children, Towa their mother.” you tell him, the Destroyer God's expression not changing. “And now that that damned Time Kai's out of the way, they can finally live here with the rest of us. We don't have to jump through timelines to see each other any more.”
“So, that was where Meloka would disappear off to.” Whis says idly, Beerus turning back to his attendant. “While I was training her, she would occasionally vanish. Returning with the 'scent' of another timeline on her near-instantly, for lack of a better word.”
“So, you all have been leaving this reality over and over to visit your other family?” Beerus asks you, now sounding more curious. “Hrmm. And here I thought you were married?”
“I am. It's... Kind of a long story with Towa.” you say, remembering back to when you'd first learned what she'd done to you in your sleep. “But those are my children. Except for Ace, the former Time Patroller. He was a victim of Chronoa's mind control, twisted into serving her. Towa took him in after Mechikabura broke him free of that mind control, now he and my daughter are a thing. So, they're all family. And I will protect them.”
“Even if that means confronting a god directly?” he asks you, no doubt expecting your to shy away from his tone. But you're not backing down. “You would defy a deity?”
“Not only would I defy a god. If they threatened my family, I'd kill them.” you reply seriously, Beerus giving you a grin. Not a 'happy' grin, but one that makes him look almost shark-like.
