It has been a year since Dante was teleported on the planet of Beenz and asked the god and angel to help him train. So far, the training was progressing smoothly, and despite being a human, Dante had the knack for fighting. Albeit not as far as much as Beerus, Whis couldn't help but be surprised every day. Maybe if his potential wasn't tied to his body as a human, just maybe, he could surpass Beerus. Even the God of Destruction declared that but alas, a human is a human, and that is that.
Over the year he was with the god and angel, Dante grew on them within the first month. They were like family to him, Beerus behaved more like a child and Whis was more of a butler than a teacher. Despite being weird, he found them better than his own race, humans. They were honest, no matter what. There was even a time where they met with Zen-oh, that's right.
FLASHBACK
Whis has been drilling Dante for three months now and so far, Dante took everything he taught like a sponge. He was proud of having the raven-haired as a student. "Dante, Beerus has been informed that he and his brother are to go to Lord Zen-oh's palace, do you want to come?"
Thinking about it for a second, Dante agreed and nodded towards the angel.
Whis just smiled, "Good, let's go."
"Wait, I haven-"
Dante didn't even get to finish his sentence as he now found himself to a big palace and a weird looking creature that had an oblong shape on its face and had a blue skin tone, violet stripes on the side of its face. It was wearing a pink garment with yellow sleeves.
This time, Dante didn't bow. He was told by Whis and Beerus that Zen-oh doesn't really mind people not bowing, just don't make him angry. "You're so cute, Zenny!"
'Diz nigga!'
All the beings present in the palace choked and glared towards Dante.
"How dare yo-"
"I like iiittt!" Zen-oh float and went towards Dante and stopped just a foot away from the teenager's face. "I like youu!"
A certain angel just chuckled while Dante just grinned, 'I knew it!' he was expecting this. "It feels like you're very lonely, these guards are really ugly."
Zen-oh nodded rapidly and shouted, "Yeah they are ugly, they're always silent, not good enough to be a friend!"
The teenager just sighed, "That's too bad, it seems like you really need a friend."
Nodding again, Zen-oh hummed, "I like you, can you be my friend?"
Dante just smiled and held a peace sign, "Best friend!"
Zeno's eyes widened and squealed, "Yaaayy!"
"But Zenny, I've got a question I've been meaning to ask," Dante said, getting comfortable around Zen-oh.
Again, all of the people gulped down their saliva as only silence could be heard.
"Zenny? Mm..." Zen-oh nodded, "I like it! And you are Date-chan from now on! Oooh! Can we play? I want to play!"
The teenager just laughed, "What about my question though, I wanted to know why you teleported me in Beenz."
Zen-oh went silent as he looked at the eyes of Dante, a minute has passed and none said a word.
"I forgot."
Dante just sweatdropped as he laughed it off, "Zenny, I wanted to play with you but I need to get strong first, is that okay?"
The guards were now angry and readied their weapon, "How dare yo-"
"This is the second time now, next time, bye-bye."
The guards backed off as Zen-oh thought for a moment while looking at Dante, his best friend. "Here, have this. I want to play with you soon, so practice hard!"
Light beamed from Zen-oh's hands and touched Dante's forehead. Suddenly, waves of information went to his head making him yelp a little earning him a laugh from Zen-oh.
"You're funny! Dante-chan!"
As the process was over, Dante had loads of information learned, and panted as the stress was overwhelming his brain. "T-Thank you Zenny, that was very helpful!"
PRESENT
It took Dante awhile to arrange and dissect the information Zen-oh has given him. Laws of time and space, gravity, and energy manipulation. That was what Zenny taught him over the course of 10 seconds. He could use them all, but only to the point of basics.
Because of what Zen-oh did, Dante had so much training from Whis. It was 10x harder. And the angel's excuse was "Lord Zen-oh wants to play with you so you have to get strong as fast as possible." But the teenager didn't back down from the training and didn't give any excuses.
