Dragon Ball Timelines

Hello everyone! So, before I get into this fanfiction, I would like to say that this story is based off my OC. I spent about a year developing his character before I felt he was fanfiction ready, so he isn't your typical cliche "yeah he's Goku's brother he can beat Whis in base form". This fanfiction is more implementing the character into the story and making sure the Z-Fighters aren't left in the dust, or at least to a lesser extent.

Hope you enjoy!

The cold vacuum of space surrounded the two as they floated in the stratosphere of Earth, the massive planet's stratosphere providing just enough oxygen for the weaker of the two to breathe. The beings consisted of what looked like a very tall and intelligent purple cat. He wore light blue baggy pants with a belt that held a piece with blue and orange diamond designs on its' black background, hanging low on his lower body. He was completely naked on his upper half with the exception of a neckpiece that bore white outlining and blue stripes with a single orange diamond in the center. He wore a gold bracelet on each arm and a gold arm band on each arm, and a small golden piece pierced into his left ear. Despite his scrawny appearance, his strength exceeded levels ever seen by anyone. This being was known as the God of Destruction, Lord Beerus.

The other being floating above the lush planet known as Earth was of the race known as Saiyans. Saiyans were known for being warriors, but this man was a prodigy and one of the last surviving of his race. Unlike Beerus, his outfit was very tattered, wearing a blue undershirt that covered his chest, as his orange overshirt had been blown off. His pants were of a blazing orange, and he wore wristbands and shoes that matched his undershirt, with an orange stripe in the middle of his shoes. He had raven black palm-like hair which spiked out to the sides, and his onyx eyes bore the look of fatigue. He had light skin and a very impressive build on his body. It could be noted that a large tear was located in his left pant leg. This person was Son Goku, who recently became a God himself and reached a level of strength that matched around half of Beerus' power, which was extraordinary among any normal being.

"You know, Lord Beerus, I have to say, you're really too much for me." the weaker one said, laughing weakly. His voice was smooth and solid, or it would be had he not used up so much strength in the fight. Yet the truth was, he was still amazed at the massive power that Beerus had displayed.

"Oh, is that so? I suppose there's no harm in telling you that you weren't half bad yourself." Beerus replied in a low, calm voice. "It's quite hard for someone as strong as me to find anyone that could rival me at 5% of my power. You're the second strongest person I've ever fought."

Goku frowned, obvious disappointment on his face. "Only the second?"

Beerus laughed. Not a mocking or arrogant laugh, but a very amused laugh. "Whis over there" He pointed at the whipped-cream haired male behind Goku, who was munching on various Earth treats "Is not only my assistant, but he's also my teacher." Beerus paused, thinking for a moment. "But there are definitely warriors out there stronger than you. I doubt you've heard about the multiverse theory, but it's true. There is more than one universe out there, in fact, there are twelve. Each universe whose numbers add up to thirteen are twin universes, like one and twelve, five and eight, yada yada. We are located in Universe Seven."

"Could one of those universes have another me in it?" The saiyan asked excitedly, thinking of how fun it would be to fight himself.

"No." Whis piped up from behind. "Well, maybe, but another "you" or an alternate Goku would be found in an alternate timeline of universe seven as opposed to an alternate universe all-together."

Goku blinked. "Huh?" He asked, which caused Whis to roll his eyes.

Unlimited timelines, full of possibilities. An expanding universe with new adventures. Any question became a reality, but only one question will be fulfilled in this story.

But what if he had a third brother?

The story begins in Age 737. The Low-Class Saiyan warrior known as Bardock has set the co-ordinates in his space pod for Planet Vegeta with an urgent dilemma. This, is where our heroes begin their adventure.

"Damn it!" The saiyan cursed, pounding the wall of the space pod as it traveled further from Planet Meat. His injuries were no doubt much too severe to do something like that, but there was much more important things on his mind. Suddenly, his eyes widened in total shock. He felt the green scouter that hung on his eye- miraculously, it had survived the monstrous blast.

Before continuing, it should be said that Bardock bore a striking resemblance to Goku. He had dark, palm hair and matching dark eyes. However, Bardock's skin tone was notably darker than Goku's, and a slash scar was embedded into his left cheek. He bore armor that, unlike usual Saiyan armor, bore no sleeves. The texture of the stomach area, shoulder straps, and lower-back were a lime green, while the chest, hip, and upper-back armor was made of a raven black material. The armor was outlined in white, and he wore red cloth on his writs and shins. His pants were simple, navy blue and skin-tight. His shoes matched his armor, the front area being green and the back area being black Now that he has been described, we can continue.

Bardock contemplated on whether it was a good idea to act on his plan. He had been so focused on Frieza's plans that he'd forgotten that his eldest son of his three children was still on the planet. Bardock cursed out loud again, but he didn't know for sure if he should contact his son via scouter, as it could easily be traced by Frieza's men. But if he didn't..they would surely die.

Bardock clicked the black button on the back on his scouter, various text popping up in alien language until a small child's voice came through on the microphone. This small child was Bardock's eldest son, Gio. Like Bardock, Gio bore the same palm hair, dark eyes, and tanned skin tone. He was the strongest child of the family, being born with a power level of five while his brothers were born with the power level of only two. It was still a low-class power, however it was definitely a higher-tier low class. And as Gio aged, he only became stronger, commonly getting into fights with his five year old brother, Raditz. But Raditz had gone who-knows-where, Gio couldn't remember.

"Dad? Is that you?" The small child's voice said through the scouter. Gio's scouter, unlike Bardock's, was of a bright red, having been a gift to him for his seventh birthday. Gio's attire consisted of armor that resembled Bardock's, however his did contain shoulder guards and the lime-green was a bright red instead instead. His tail was wrapped neatly around his waist, wearing skin-tight black pants. His armor did not contain the red forearm-guards and shin-guards, and his gloves were made of the same black material as his armor.

"Yeah, son. Listen, I don't have much time, you need to go, quickly! Get off the planet, steal an Attack Ball, and go! You don't have much time!"

"What? What's going on?"

"Frieza! He's getting ready to blow the place up! I'm going there now, I'll stop it, but I want you out of harm's way, just in case."

"O..okay. I'll go."

"Good. Now, if you have anything you want to take, be quick. I'll see you soon."

Gio heard his father cut the transmission on the scouters. With no time to loose, Gio ran around the small house, the only notable items he'd picked up were four pairs of armor and a small book that he'd grabbed to entertain himself without looking at it.

Gio ran out of the house, taking flight into the air towards the nearest attack ball station. He ignited a blue aura around his body, flying as fast as he could. When he landed at the station, he wasn't surprised to see that nobody was there since it was lunch time, and everyone was either out conquering plants or eating. Gio got in the nearest attack pod, shutting the hatch. He started pressing every button he could see, as he didn't know how to operate one, but finally the attack ball shot into the air and into space.

Meanwhile, an army of Frieza's soldiers ran out onto the deck just in time to see the Space Pod launch into space. One soldier audibly gulped, a shaky voice speaking out. "I think that was the child Lord Frieza sent us to intercept...oh man..we're dead." The soldier said in absolute fear.

Gio placed the mask on his face, not prepared for the sleeping gasses that were sprayed and inhaled. He was wondering what it would be like when his dad defeated the evil tyrant before the world around him faded to black.

Age 730

"Right this way, to your left."

"Gotcha."

A younger Bardock followed the Saiyan doctor to the room where his first born son's incubator was. Unlike before, his armor now included two lime-green shoulder pads and he lacked his red headband. He eventually entered the room where the incubator was located, seeing a small boy with a lightly tanned skin inside the incubator, his eyes closed and seemingly sleeping peacefully. He tapped the red button on his green scouter as alien numbers read the being's power level. Eventually, in the alien language, the number on the scouter popped up: 5.

"That's it? Tch. Nothing special. At the very most, he has the chance to be a low end middle class." Bardock scoffed, though despite his power he still loved his newborn son. His soon-to-be wife was probably off at work or at home, as he had been born a week before, however Bardock was off with his team on some planet with a name that was too long for him to remember or care about.

"Let's see..what name was it that we'd agreed on?" He thought for a moment. "Ah, yes. Welcome to the world, Gio. I hope one day you can go on to become a fine fighter."

Age 734

The small boy sat patiently in the waiting room of the hospital, staring at his feet when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps down the hall. Looking over, he saw his father sprint into the room, catching his breath only for a quick second before he asked his son, "Has he been born yet?"

Four-year-old Gio shrugged his shoulders. "Mama just started sweating, and she flew me here and told me to wait. The nurses came in and talked to me for a minute before leaving again."

For only a four year old, he spoke quite fluently among the other people his age, though he hadn't gotten used to calling his parents "mom" or "dad" yet, still calling them mama and papa.

"Damn..don't repeat that, Gio..we could be sitting here for hours. How long ago was it when she started sweating?"

"I dunno."

"Kids. She contacted me about an hour and a half ago." Bardock said to himself, "Who knows how long it could be."

They sat there for four hours, much to the older Saiyan's dismay, and it didn't help that Gio couldn't carry a conversation for more than two minutes before loosing interest. But eventually the female nurse came out of the door, and both boys looked up, one filled with anticipation and one half-asleep.

"Bardock? Your wife has just given birth to a baby boy. He's in the incubator if you'd like to see him." She said, looking tired.

Bardock nodded. "Come on, Gio, wake up." He said, slapping him lightly upside the head. They followed the nurse down the hall, taking a right into a room where a small baby with long black hair floated. He had lighter skin than Gio and Bardock, but like any other saiyan baby he slept peacefully.

"Papa? What's his name?" Gio asked curiously.

"Raditz. Now let's check his power." Bardock said, tapping his scouter as the numbers calculated the being's power before they stopped, showing a final result which made Bardock's pupils turn small.

"ONE?!" He shouted in surprise, expecting it to at least be above three, though in reality he wanted him to be stronger than Gio, who jumped at his father's sudden outburst, which had woken him up from his half-asleep phase.

Calming quickly, he turned the scouter off and shook his head, studying the boy for a minute before hearing his stomach rumble loudly, followed by Gio's smaller stomach rumbling. Bardock looked at his son before laughing, remembering that they hadn't eaten in over four hours.

Age 737

The nurse led Gio and his younger brother down the hall, having been the second time to do this, it all seemed to familiar to him. They soon came upon the small room with the incubator that was supposed to be holding their brother Kakarot. The nurse opened the door for them, leading them inside before leaving to go get their mother.

Inside the pod, a small baby floated in the liquid, tear stains on his cheeks and looking as if he was about to cry again.

"He looks like you." The younger of the two commented, directed to the older one.

"I guess the hair maybe. His skin looks like yours though." Seven-year-old Gio replied.

They were only able to look for another quick moment before the door opened again, footsteps walking in before the door shut again. The boys turned around, their faces brightening when they saw their mother with a tired yet joyful look on her face.

Gine was the wife of Bardock, and unlike most Saiyans she was very kind-hearted, a trait that her kids inherited (though Raditz much less so). She was also the reason why Kakarot and Raditz had light skin, as she was a very pale woman. She wore black armor, similar to her husband. However the stomachpiece, lower-back, and shoulder straps were an orange-resembling color. Unlike a male Saiyan, the bottom of her armor was in a skirt-like fashion, the front being black with the back being the textured orange with skin-tight black pants covering her legs. Her shoes resembled the common saiyan's, and she wore red bands on her forearms like Bardock.

"Mom!" They shouted, running to hug her as she bent down to join them. She closed her eyes, a grin on her face as she stroked their hair before looking at her third son in the incubator.

"Did you wait to check his power level like I promised?" She asked, looking at Gio with a slightly intimidating stare that said, "Don't you dare lie to me". He shook his head, and she patted his head as her grin returned. "Good."

"Can I do it now?" He asked in anticipation. She laughed, nodding yes as Gio jumped, hovering a few feet above the ground and tapping the button on his red scouter. Raditz sulked at the fact that he didn't have a scouter yet (something Gio rubbed in his face a lot). As the alien numbers flashed across the tinted glass, it made a beeping sound before stopping, landing on a final result.

"Two." He said. His mother chuckled, unlike their father she didn't care if the baby had a low power. After Bardock was contacted and told (he sighed when he heard the power level), they left their "new addition" in the incubator and went home.

Age 737, The day after.

Gio, be safe out there.. Bardock thought as he tore through the oncoming soldiers, exiting the gravitational pull of Planet Vegeta. He made his way to the large, round ship that floated above the planet. He felt two soldiers secure his arms back while he wasn't paying attention. Another soldier quickly took advantage, punching him several times in the stomach and making Bardock cough, saliva flying out of his mouth and getting winded. He quickly kicked the soldier in the jaw before flipping around and kicking the other two off him before continuing his charge.

"FRIEZA! COME OUT, YOU COWARD!" He roared through the vacuum of space. He dodged a yellow beam from a soldier nearby, sending his own blue beam in return which hit successfully. He elbowed a charging soldier in the face before hearing a "whirr" from the ship. Looking over, he saw the bastard himself slowly rising out in his hovering chair with an annoyed look on his face.

Frieza was a very alien-like creature. He had pinkish skin with white bio-armor and a tail with a purple point. His eyes were a menacing red, and his lips a wine red. His head featured a large purple bio-gem and diagonal horns on each side, pointing in different directions. He wore purple armor with orangish colored shoulder-pads and stomachpiece. His lower body could not be seen.

Audible gasps came from the soldiers, hearing repeated statements such as, "It's Lord Frieza!" or "I didn't think he'd show!"

Frieza raised his hand, revealing black nails. On the tip of his index finger was a small ball of orange ki. Bardock began laughing, the attacks halted due to the appearance of their boss. He spread his hands, remembering the vision he'd had before.

"Well, Frieza...it all comes down to this." He said. Frieza did not say anything as he raised his hand, his index finger pointing directly up with the ball of orange ki floating above it. "This determines all of our fates..mine, my wife's.. Planet Vegeta's, my sons'!" He laughed again. "And even yours, Frieza!"

As Frieza continued with an unimpressed, annoyed stare, Bardock continued. "And one last thing!" He shouted, focusing all of his ki into his palm as a light blue blast illuminated from his hand.

"This is for everyone you made us kill in your name!" He said while cocking back his right arm, his body following before he thrusted his arm forward, the blue blast sailing toward the evil tyrant.

A grin became upon the Acrosian's face as his alien-like voice began to laugh, the orange dot of ki growing tremendously in size until it was completely gigantic, enough to engulf an army of five thousand men in an instant. Bardock's blast was completely engulfed in the supernova, his eyes widening in shock as Frieza pointed his finger towards Bardock and the army, and the planet below. The blast sailed towards them, going faster and faster as it was pulled into Vegeta's gravitational pull.

As Bardock became engulfed in this, he saw one last vision. Two of his sons, Kakarot and Gio, standing side-by-side facing Frieza with a cold glare, looking as if they were preparing to fight. Barock's lifeless appearance changed when a grin encrusted his face, and as death ticked slowly closer, he shouted out his final words.

"MY SONS LIVE!"
