Goku dragged his tool across the field as he kept up his field work. Chi-Chi had forced him to work, again! I wish I could just go train! Goku thought. Vegeta will leave me behind at this rate!
" Dad!" Goten called out as he landed, bringing his father's lunch just on time as usual.
" Thanks, Goten!" Goku beamed. " I needed some lunch!"
" I apologize for interrupting, but I must speak with you, Goku I presume?"
Goku and Goten looked up to see a blue-skinned, tall, alien land in front of them. The alien wore an outfit similar to that of Whis, yet there were some obvious differences. On the middle of his torso was a weird symbol. " My name is Alnory. I would only like to explain this once, so if you will, would you gather all of the strongest warriors on the planet? I have an urgent message.
After an hour, all of the strongest warriors are finally gathered. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu and Krillin.
" This better be good." Vegeta said as he glared at Alnory. " I didn't interrupt my training for a waste of time."
" Yeah." Krillin added. " What's this all about anyway, Goku?"
" This guy has a message for all of us." Goku replied. " Now let's hear what he has to say."
" Thank you, Goku. Now, I am Alnory, a being from a race called the Inmo's. We study the Omniverse, many different versions of different Universes. All of the Omni Kings, I assume you know of your Multiverse, have agreed upon having a tournament. The Omni King demands that you all enter, after your performance in the last Universal tournament. Do you accept?" Alnory asked.
" A Universal tournament sounds awesome!" Goku said. " How many can enter?"
" All of you." Alnory said. " This time, a number does not matter."
Goku turned back towards his friends. " Are you guys in?"
" Of course I'm in." Vegeta barked. The response was followed by a smirk. " I get a chance to fight other Universes."
" I'm out." Gohan said. " Sorry everyone, but I'm in no shape to fight."
" I'm in!" Goten and Trunks shouted at the same time.
" Count me in." Tien said. " I've been training for an opportunity like this."
Yamcha and Chiaotzu agreed to stay out, while Piccolo joined in.
" Very well then." Alnory snapped his fingers and bam, they were on a spaceship.
" What the hell?!" Vegeta asked as he looked around. Looking at Alnory, he questioned. " Just what the hell are you?"
Gohan was on the ship, accidentally being taken too. " At least I get to watch."
" I can't believe we have to stay in the area." Trunks complained.
" At least there's food and a training room!" Goten and Goku responded.
" Well, I'm going to train." Vegeta said.
" Alnory said the first match will be called soon, we can watch from this monitor." Piccolo said.
" It stinks we can't be out there though." Goku pouted.
" This whole thing is a little suspicious." Piccolo noted.
" Don't worry about it!" Goku said cheerfully. " It's just a tournament. Plus, if it's from the Omni-King, then we can't say no!"
" Hmph." Was Piccolo's only reply.
" TIme for the first round!" An alien like being shouted as he through his microphone into the air. " Our first contestant is from Universe 60! Welcome to the stage, Vegeta!"
" Is that me?" Vegeta asked, as he walked into the room with the monitor.
" No." Gohan replied. " We're from Universe 7, remember? But to think, there is at least sixty different universes…"
Back on the monitor, Universe 60 Vegeta flew onto the stage. He looked exactly like Vegeta from Universe 7, so what could be the difference?
" Vegeta was brought back to life specifically for this tournament, he died many years ago against the Androids 17 and 18, and has trained in otherworld since." The announcer said.
" Do you think…" Piccolo started. " Could this be the Vegeta from Trunk's timeline?"
" It's possible…" Gohan said. " Would that mean Trunks is here too?"
Universe 60 Vegeta glared at the announcer. " Will you call up my opponent already?!"
" Fine!" The announcer yelled back. " Hailing from Universe 42, Goten of the Time Patrol!"
" Goten?" Goten 7 ( Numbered by Universe ) asked. " That's me! But I'm not part of the...Time Patrol? What is that?"
A man with a large, black trench coat walked onto the stage and started to stretch his shoulders. His hair was not that of Goku or Goten's, but was spiky and pointed to the right. " So I get to fight Vegeta...this should be fun!"
" Who are you?" Vegeta asked with a smirk. " Actually, I don't really care. Let's begin!"
" Fine with me." Goten replied.
" 3...2...1...Begin!" The announcer shouted.
Vegeta and Goten flew towards each other, they had enough room, since the ring closely resembled the largest size from the Universe 6 V Universe 7 tournament.
Vegeta threw a punch toward Goten's nose, which Goten blocked and tried to follow up with a punch aimed for Vegeta's gut. Vegeta blocked the attack and teleported behind Goten, where he punched Goten in the back and kicked him across the ring.
" I'm holding back by a longshot, are you sure you don't want to give up now?" Vegeta asked.
" Classic Vegeta." Goten remarked. Goten started to power up as he gained a yellow aura. " Then all-out it is!" Now a Super Saiyan, Goten once again charged towards Vegeta.
With shocking speed, Goten kicked Vegeta across the face, following with a punch to the gut and then and uppercut to the chin. Keeping up with the combo, Goten slammed Vegeta across the head, knocking him to te ground.
" This should do it!" Goten shouted. " Kamehameha!" The blue blast fell towards the ring as Vegeta hit the ground. An explosion followed, blinding the onlookers who lined the stands and those watching the monitor.
" I'm awesome!" Goten 7 shouted!
Vegeta 60 stood up and wiped off his armor, him now also a Super Saiyan. " Nice attack, boy, but I've trained harder than you have, I can tell." Vegeta appeared behind Goten 42 and chopped him in the neck.
The Super Saiyan left Goten 42 as his eyes went white and he fell to the ground.
" Goten is unconscious! The winner is Vegeta from Universe 60!" The announcer shouted.
Vegeta 60 flew back towards his waiting area as a couple of green alien picked up Goten and dragged him off of the stage.
" Don't ya think they should've explained the rules?" Goku asked.
" There isn't a need, they're on that sign." Gohan replied as he pointed across the room.
In big, black letter, the rules were posted on the wall:
Only two opponents per match.
No low blows.
Killing is ALLOWED.
Loss if you are, dead, unconscious, or out of the ring.
" Killing is allowed? We had better be careful." Goku noted.
" Exactly." Piccolo agreed.
" I'm interested in that Vegeta...I'm going to go check him out." Goku was not even finished with the sentence before he had teleported away.
" And what do you want, Kakarot?" Vegeta 60 asked Goku 7.
" I just wanted to know what your Universe is like!" Goku exclaimed.
Vegeta then had a realization. " You aren't the Kakarot I know, are you?
" Nope." Goku replied.
" Well...fine then. In our Universe, these beings called the Androids attacked…" Vegeta started.
" I know about them, they appeared in our Universe as well." Goku interrupted.
" You died from a heart virus. Then, the Androids killed everyone besides my son, Trunks, your son, and that fat oaf who cut off my tail." Vegeta continued. " Gohan died against the Androids. Trunks went to the future, where he became stronger."
" That's the Trunks that I know!" Goku exclaimed. " He saved me, and Gohan defeated Cell!"
" Well then...thank you for that." Vegeta said, surprising Goku.
" Um...no problem." Goku replied.
" The Kakarot of my world was also brought back...yet I've battled him for years. I want to battle you, another Kakarot and see just how strong you are." Vegeta said as he turned to leave.
" Then you're on!" Goku said as he put his fingers to his forehead and teleported away.
Meanwhile…
" It's time for the second match!" The crowd roared as the announcer shouted his announcement. " First, from Universe 55, we welcome...um...C!"
A man, seemingly a Saiyan, flew onto the stage. He wore a black and green gi without a kanji. That was all to say about him, overall he was pretty mysterious.
" Hehehe...I'm ready for my opponent." The man said cheerfully.
" Okay then...second, from Universe 16, General Bon!" A boar like creature flew up to the stage and stretched. " This'll be easy."
C just sighed. " I wanted a good opponent, I can tell I won't even need to transform to beat this guy."
" Oh yeah? Just try something!" General Bon said.
" Begin!"
No sooner did the announcer call it, was General Bon on the ground, unconscious.
" M-match." The announcer said. " C from Universe 55 wins!"
C sighed and said. " I told you so." And walked off the stage.
" Did you see that, Kakarot?" Vegeta ( 7) asked.
" Yeah...that guy's speed is amazing." Goku replied.
" He could be a serious opponent...gets me excited." Vegeta said.
" Same here, this tournament looks like it will be pretty fun!" Goku said.
" I'm going exploring this time, Kakarot. Wait here." With that, Vegeta walked out of their quarters and down the hall connecting all of the rooms to the arena. Each room had a number on it, but he couldn't sense any Power Levels inside.
Vegeta walked past C as he made his way to Universe 55, and Vegeta felt a chill go down his spine. This person was hiding much more power than he was showing. J-just who is this guy?!
