Hey everyone! This is the first part of my three part story. I know some fans weren't happy with how the battle against Black Goku and Future Zamasu ended. That includes me. So, I decided to write a different outcome. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Dragon Ball Super:
Restore the Future! Part 1
"Do you really think this plan will work, Mother?"
After being nearly killed by Black Goku and Future Zamasu, Future Trunks retreated to his
mother's side as Goku and Vegeta began their next battle against the evil pair. While she
was repairing the damaged Time Machine, Bulma explained to her son what the new plan was
to defeat the duo and end this conflict once and for all.
"Well, Goku seems to think so. Personally, I like to think it will. We just have to believe in
him and your father." Bulma said, sounding confident. "If it doesn't work, at least we have a
back-up plan." She then handed Trunks her phone and showed him the movements necessary
for the Mafuba.
"A sealing technique, huh?" Mai asked as Trunks tried to memorize how to perform
the move.
"According to Piccolo, this move can seal anyone. You just got to be able to hit the target and
then transfer that target into a container. After that, just plug in the seal and it's a done deal."
Bulma said.
"Alright. I'll be ready to use this if Plan A doesn't work." Trunks replied. He hoped he wouldn't
have to though. If what her mother said was true, this plan could fix everything. All he had to
do was wait for the right moment. He looked toward where the two separate battles were
taking place and hardened his eyes. 'Please. Please let this plan work…'
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"So, ready for yet another defeat Vegeta? I promise that this time, it will be your last. After all,
you will die here." Black said sadistically. Vegeta had enough of this fake Goku. He had
enough of the blood thirsty grin that came with his arrogance. He would take down this
charlatan here and now.
"Just shut the hell up!" Vegeta spat out before powering up and went on the offensive, while
Goku dealt with Future Zamasu.
Immediately, Black noticed Vegeta wasn't the same as last time. He barely managed to block a
punch from the Saiyan Prince, who spun to kick Black in the head. He ducked and tried to slice
Vegeta with his energy blade, only for that move to be caught by Vegeta's bare hand. While
gripping him, Vegeta pulled Black in to knee him in the stomach.
"Dammit. How could he have improved so much in such a short time?" Black asked himself
softly. Vegeta sent him flying with an uppercut before chasing after him. He noticed Future
Zamasu trying to intercept, but Goku interfered and punched him away.
"You may be strong, but you are NO Kakarot!" Vegeta declared as he started pummeling Black
in the face. His strength, speed, and aura increased as he continued his ferocious assault.
"Only that ignorant moron can bring out his body's full potential! Whereas you, a jealous thief
who occupies a stolen body, could NEVER UNDERSTAND IT!" Vegeta yelled as he plowed Black
through building after building until he was smashed firmly into the ground.
Black spat out blood and groaned from the pain. "This body…this can't be it's limit!" He
protested. In his Super Saiyan Rose form, Black felt he should've been invincible. For Vegeta to
punish him like this, it was inconceivable. Black continued pondering as Vegeta grabbed him by
the head and raised him up to his level. The Prince looked at his foe with pure disgust.
"Something like you doesn't have the right to exist! I, for one, prefer to see you vanish and not
EVER come back!" Vegeta said as he punched Black in the stomach with all his anger focused
into it. Black coughed up more blood before Vegeta wrapped his arms around him and held
him tight. "Kakarot! Do it NOW!"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"When will you learn? You can never harm an immortal! It is pointless!" Future Zamasu
taunted as he blocked a kick from Goku and countered with a kick of his own. Goku ducked and
threw in a punch in his opponent's cheek, making him skid back a few yards.
"Yeah well, I guess I'm just pretty bad at learning lessons like that!" Goku said, chuckling.
Zamasu sneered in response.
"Your very existence sickens me. Mortals such as yourself and your allies should not have been
given the opportunity to occupy the same space as the gods! All of you must be wiped out!"
Zamasu declared angrily as he formed his own blade and came after Goku.
Goku vanished and reappeared on Zamasu's left to punch him skyward. Zamasu
caught himself in midair and fired a blast of energy, but Goku deflected it and sent his own blast
at him. The cynical Kai sliced it with his blade as Goku came up from right beneath him and
fired another blast right into Zamasu's face. Of course, any damage inflicted was instantly
healed within seconds.
"Foolish mortal. All you are doing is wearing yourself out. You can never, will never, defeat
me! You cannot kill something that cannot be wounded!" Goku responded with an unexpected
head butt.
"Everyone, and everything, has a weakness. I just need to find it. And just maybe…I found
yours too." Goku said confidently. Future Zamasu's face showed nothing but contempt.
"Kakarot! Do it NOW!"
Goku, after hearing Vegeta's call nearby, dropped the smirk and became more serious.
"Alright, that's my cue! Hope this works!" He then spread out his hands on either side of his
face and closed his eyes. Zamasu wondered what his opponent was about to do.
"SOLAR FLARE!"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Suddenly, a huge flash of light erupted from the battle field. Trunks recognized it at once. It
was the Solar Flare technique used by Goku, Krillin and Tien. Cell also used this to blind Trunks
and Krillin years ago so that he could absorb Android #18 without interference.
"Trunks, is that the signal?" Mai asked, stunned by the intense light. Trunks nodded.
"Yes it is! Time to move!" After powering up to his new raging Super Saiyan form, he made a
bee line to not where Goku and Zamasu are, but to where his father and Black were located.
"This is it! I've only got one shot to pull this off! For the sake of everyone, I can't let them
down!"
Back at the safe spot, both Bulma and Mai prayed for the warriors to succeed in ending this
nightmare.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
After Goku revealed the Solar Flare, Zamasu screamed painfully as he held his hands to
his face. "AHH! My eyes! What have you done to my EYES, mortal?!" Without missing a beat,
Goku blasted the future Kai into a demolished building and put his fingers to his forehead.
"Gotta move fast; only got one chance to pull this off!" He said to himself as he used his Instant
Transmission to disappear from the spot. A second later, Goku reappeared alongside Vegeta
and Black.
"About time! Hurry up before Black's partner catches up with us!" Vegeta demanded as he
continued to hold Black tight. Black then felt Goku taking his right arm.
"What the hell are you doing?" Black asked wearily.
"Just killing some time." Goku said, smirking as he held out Black's arm by one hand, while
forcefully taking off a certain ring with the other. "TRUNKS! HEADS UP!" Goku then tossed the
ring up into the air. Black looked up in horror!
"No! Not that! NOT MY TIME RING!" Black tried to struggle to break free, but one powerful
punch in the gut from Goku stopped him cold. Black looked back up to see Trunks flying to
them at top speed. He had just prepared a his father's Galik Gun attack.
"THIS IS FOR EVERYONE YOU HAVE KILLED, BLACK! EVERYONE, INCLUDING MY MOTHER!"
Trunks cried out in righteous fury as he fired his attack at where the ring was soaring
upward.
"NOOOO!" Black screamed futilely. He then watched helplessly as Trunks blasted the
Time Ring into oblivion. Not a trace of the Supreme Kai relic remained.
Black gaped in horror at what had just transpired. The three Saiyans smiled victoriously, while
Goku recounted how their plan came to be…

Flashback; Earth back in the Present
Everyone had gathered in the living room at Capsule Corp, discussing how to beat Black Goku
and Future Zamasu. It was true, the pair seemed unbeatable. One could not be killed, while the
other simply became more powerful with each encounter. They were at a loss.
"We cannot defeat them in a straight up fight. Their advantages are too great. Hell, they've
beaten us twice!" Vegeta stated bitterly.
"Don't be too hard on yourself, Vegeta. I'm sure that this time, you, Goku and Trunks will
find a way kick their sorry asses." Bulma encouraged. At that moment, Goku remembered
something he thought of earlier while he was healing.
"Actually, I may have an idea." Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"What idea Dad?" Gohan asked. Goku turned to Bulma, looking unusually serious.
"Bulma, remember what Black said about his Time Ring? About how it protected him from
being erased along with his past self?" He asked.
"Yeah, I remember. What about it?" Bulma said. A second later she gasped. "Wait. Are you
thinking…?"
"I am. I thought about this while I was in that healing tank. If we can get rid of his ring, Black
won't be able to exist anymore. He'll just disappear. Do you think it will work?" Bulma thought
for a moment before smiling.
"If Black does vanish, all the death and destruction he caused could be negated! Erasing Black
could theoretically restore Trunks' timeline to it's state before Black appeared! Goku, that is
perhaps one of the best ideas I've ever heard coming you!" Goku chuckled.
"I hate to admit it, but I agree as well. Let's do it." Vegeta relented. Everyone else approved of it too.
"So, how are you guys going to take away Black's Time Ring?" Krillin asked.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Flashback End
Black, infuriated from the loss of his Time Ring, blew everyone away as his energy exploded from rage. The force blew away Goku
and Vegeta. After regaining their footing, Trunks landed and stood alongside them. Black snarled at them all.
"You damn sacrilegious bastards! What have you done?!" Black angrily demanded.
"So, now that Black's ring is gone, shouldn't he be disappearing by now?" Goku asked,
concerned that Black still stood before them, looking extremely pissed off.
"He's as solid as ever." Vegeta noted with annoyance.
"I don't understand. Black should be vanishing now. Why isn't he? Wasn't the Time Ring the
only thing maintaining his existence?" Trunks questioned. He was starting to fear that the plan
didn't work after all. A moment later, Black smiled again as he threw back his head and
laughed.
"Foolish Saiyans! I have reached a power beyond what any mortal could ever obtain! I have
grown so strong that the Time Ring's power is no longer necessary! I am not going anywhere!"
As Black laughed again, the Saiyan trio silently cursed for their failure. Farther away, Bulma and
Mai also felt their frustration. They all truly believed that their plan would work. Even Supreme
Kai and Gowasu had their hopes on it.
Trunks screamed as he drew his sword, his erupting energy shaking the ground around him.
"It's not over, you bastard! I'm still taking you down!" He cried out as he charged after Black.
"Trunks!" Goku called, but his friend didn't hear him. He continued yelling as he prepared to
stab Black through. However, just before he could…
"You know full well that didn't work last time, Trunks. Why would this time be any different?"
Zamasu asked arrogantly after taking the blow meant for his comrade. "Sorry for the delay."
He apologized to Black.
"No need. I was going to block it anyway." Black replied. Zamasu returned the smile
with his own and nodded.
"Damn that immortal Kai! He just keeps butting in!" Vegeta swore.
"Man, just when I thought we had Black. Sorry guys." Goku said shamefully. 'No choice then.
Guess we will have to use the Mafuba after all.' He thought bitterly.
Trunks growled as the situation once again started to look hopeless. Zamasu smirked at the
boy's expression.
"Yes mortal. That's how all your kind should look when you realize…!" Zamasu didn't finish
because of what happened next. He did something at that moment that shocked everyone,
especially Black.
For the first time since their ongoing battles started…
Future Zamasu had started to cough up blood.
To be continued.
