Saiyans in Metropolis
Chapter 1
Goku and Vegeta, two of the last members of the mighty saiyan race, were on the world of Lord Beerus, the god of destruction, training with the deity's powerful and wise assistant, Whis. The two saiyans fought with ferocity as they through punch after punch and kick after kick against their mystical tutor, who dodged and blocked every move they made with little to no effort. Beerus sat under a tree, eating a sushi that Goku and Vegeta brought with them. Beerus loved the food made on Earth, so it was very important for the two to keep Beerus happy with delectable Earth dishes to keep him from blowing up the planet.
"Well done you two", Whis said clapping his hands together and smiling with approval, "I think we should call it a day."
"Aw man, and I was just getting close to laying a punch on you", Goku complained.
"Like hell you were", Vegeta retorted, "I was closer to landing a punch on him than you."
"Now, now, settle down you two", Whis said attempting to calm the two saiyans, "I think we've made some very good progress today. You both are getting much faster and I can feel more power emanating from your attacks."
"Well you know us saiyans, we get stronger every time we fight", Vegeta said proudly.
"Yes but you're going to need a lot more training if you're going to surpass me, or any other beings I've seen in other universes", Beerus added.
This suddenly caught Goku's attention, and he remembered his battle with Beerus when the destruction god mentioned that there were other universes that have spawned warriors even stronger than him. "Out of curiosity Lord Beerus", the orange-clad saiyan asked, "you said that there were other universes with powerful fighters."
"Yes I did", Beerus replied confidently, "in fact there is one universe with a particular fighter that I've grown quite an interest in."
Now Goku and Vegeta's interests were really perked. "Really, who is he?" Goku asked excitedly.
"Whis, care to show them?" Beerus asked shifting his eyes slyly toward his attendant.
"Very well then", whis said raising his hand, then his staff appeared out of thing air in his grasp. He tapped the bottom end of the staff in the ground, then dozens of small glowing emeralds appeared in circles all around everyone, and appearing right above the top of Whis' staff was a projection. In that projection they all saw a tall muscular man with black hair, skintight red and blue suit, with a long red cape flowing in the wind, and a red emblem in the shape of an "S" on his chest. Both Goku and Vegeta stared bewildered at this strange being that they had never seen before.
"He goes by quite a few names", Whis explained, "The Last Kryptonian, the Man of Steel, Clark Kent, his real name is Kal-El, but he is most commonly known as Superman."
"How could someone have so many names?" Goku asked.
"Like you two he is one of the last members of his kind who escaped a dying planet and made a home on Earth", Whis answered.
"But I've never seen him anywhere on Earth."
"Not on your Earth", Beerus joined in on the conversation, "In the multiverse there are many different versions of Earth. There's one where mankind has learned to travel through space, and there's one where mankind never came to be."
"Well whoever this costume clown is, there is no way he could measure up to the might of a saiyan", Vegeta said skeptically.
"Don't to be too sure of that", Beerus commented.
"When he arrived on his Earth he gained a great deal of power", Whis explained, "by absorbing yellow sun energy he received such powers as super strength, super speed, flight, super hearing, super breath, invulnerability, heat vision and x-ray vision."
"Wow, he sounds really powerful", Goku exclaimed with amazement. Vegeta on the other hand was still having a hard time believing that this guy could really be so powerful.
"Yes they say that his powers are limitless, even I haven't been able to measure the true limit of his abilities", Beerus said.
"Well then let's go!" Goku suggested excitedly, "I want to see if I can found out the true limit of his power and see if I can measure up to him."
"Unfortunately that's impossible", Whis uncomfortably announced, "as powerful as Lord Beerus and I are, there are certain universes we can't travel to on our own."
"Aw man, we that's no good", Goku complained, his mood turning from excitement to disappointment, then an idea popped in his head, "Wait, what if we used the dragon balls?"
"What?!" Beerus exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, we could ask the dragon to send us to that Earth, then we'll be able to and fight this Superman guy."
"Well, that does sound risky", Whis said with uncertainty, "but it might work."
"Alright then", Goku was pleased to hear this, "then let's head back to Earth, gather the dragon balls, and head to this other Earth."
"This should be interesting", Vegeta commented looking forward to seeing how everything will turn out.
And with that, Goku, Vegeta, Beerus, and Whis headed back to Earth to tell their friends and family the news, and gather the dragon balls for their interdimensional trip.
Later on that day, Goku and Vegeta had gathered up all their friends and family and met up at the Capsule Corp lawn and told them their exciting plan.
"...and that's pretty much the idea", Goku finished.
"Wow, a trip to an alternate Earth. That sounds exciting", Gohan, Goku's eldest son, said with excitement.
"It's a good thing we've gathered all the dragon balls recently, so we're all set", Bulma, Vegeta's wife, announced.
"Great, now all we need to do is figure out who wants to come along", Goku said looking for volunteers.
"I'll go", Gohan volunteered, "How about you, Piccolo?"
"I guess I could use a little vacation", the namekian replied.
"I'm coming too", Bulma announced.
"Hey mom, dad, can I come along too?" Trunks, Vegeta and Bulma's son, asked his parents.
"What do you think Vegeta?" Bulma asked her husband.
"Very well then", Vegeta replied in a tone of agreement. This caused Trunks to jump and cheer in excitement.
"Hey dad, if Trunks is going can I come too?" Goten, Goku's youngest son, pleaded. He wanted to go along with his best friend, older brother, and father.
"Chi-Chi?" Goku turned to his wife for permission.
"It's alright with me", Chi-Chi replied. Both Goten and Trunks jumped and cheered in excitement.
"We'll come along too", Krillin, Goku's best friend, announced, "Right honey?" Krillin asked his wife, Android 18.
"Yeah, okay", 18 responded, apparently she had nothing better to do.
"I'll come along too", announced Dende, another namekian and current guardian of Earth, "You're going to need the dragon balls to get back to this Earth."
"We'll also come along", Beerus announced.
"Wait you are?" Goku asked surprised.
"Of course if the food of that Earth is as good as the food in this Earth, then Whis and I must go. Unless you want to leave us out and have me destroy this Earth."
"No, no, no, that's great. I guess we're all set", Goku said frantically to keep the destruction god from getting angry.
A few minutes later, the dragon balls were brought out onto the lawn and everyone was getting ready to summon the dragon.
"Okay Marron, Master Roshi is going to look after you while mommy and daddy are gone, so be good okay", Krillin said goodbye to his and 18's daughter.
"Come home soon", Marron said in her sweet little voice.
"You better look after her", 18 said to Roshi in a threatening voice.
"She'll be fine, don't worry about it, you forget I'm one of the strongest martial artists in the world", Roshi assured them.
"I'll be back soon, I promise", Gohan said to his wife, Videl, who was holding their infant daughter, Pan.
"We'll be waiting for you", Videl told her husband and Pan gave her father a cute little smile.
"You boys take care of yourselves and try not to get into trouble", Chi-Chi told her husband and second son.
"Don't worry Chi-Chi, we'll be fine", Goku assured his wife.
"Is everyone ready?" Dende asked. Everyone going along the trip gave him a nod of affirmation. "Okay, Rise Shenron!" Dende commanded the seven balls. The balls began to glow, the sky turned black, and from emerged a beam of light that grew long and large as it soar through the air eventually taking the form of a giant eastern dragon with green scales and red eyes.
"I am the eternal dragon, Shenron", the huge serpentine creature announced, "Make any two wishes and I shall grant them."
"Excuse me Shenron", Goku asked, "can you send people to a different Earth in the multiverse?"
"I've never tried something like that before but I think I can."
"Great, then send us to the Earth where the being known as Superman lives."
"Very well!" Shenron acknowledged the first wish. His eyes began to glow and everyone who agreed to come along suddenly vanished along with the dragon and the balls. The others who decided to stay behind looked up into the sky as began to clear and become bright and sunny again. They could only hope that their friends and loved ones had a safe trip.
