Chapter 1: A sacrifice made
3 months after the tournament of power and the revival of the erased universes, Goku has been training intensely, awaiting the day for his rematch with Jiren. "Goku you're still letting your thoughts interfere with your actions" Whis stated after deflecting and dodging all Goku's attacks with ease. "Your precision, strength, and speed have greatly improved but until you learn to use Ultra Instinct at will, you'll always be a step behind".
"C'mon Whis, I'm only able to use it when pushed to my limits, I have no idea how to just turn it on".
Whis flies behind Goku at great speed flicking him straight in the forehead sending Goku straight into the ground.
"Alright that's enough training for the day. If you want to be able to use ultra-instinct again you will need to remember the feelings that went through your mind during the tournament and focus on them."
"Easy for you to say Whis, you've had thousands of years to practice."
"That might be true, but your situation is different than mine now isn't it. Besides you're the only mortal to ever achieve that form, and in such a short time might I add. Now then shall we return to Bulmas place, Ohhh just thinking of what food she might have brings me joy."
"I'm starving too, grab on Whis and I'll get us there in no time"
Back on Earth at Capsule Corp, the z fighter crew and friends were hanging about.
"Vegeta! What do you call these weird green eye shaped orbs again?"
"They're called grapes lord Beerus."
"Ahh yes grapes. I must say, they do have a weird texture to them but such a pleasant taste. Earth has so much still to try, it's hard to even leave this planet sometimes"
It's a good thing we have so much food or we might all be destroyed already Vegeta thought to himself
Suddenly a flash of light appeared in the sky.
"Oh, great what's happening now" Vegeta growled
As the light cleared up it was obvious lord Champa and Vados were the ones who had arrived at earth all of a sudden.
"Beerus! I have a bone to pick with you brother."
"Oh really, so this is how you're going to repay me for reviving your universe?"
"I never asked you to bring me back, if I was able to participate in that tournament I would have crushed everyone!"
"If the gods were allowed to participate you would be begging for mercy under my foot" Beerus said with a smirk
"Your cocky attitude really pisses me off, all you do is sleep all the time, I'd crush your bones into dust."
In a flash Beerus was directly in front of Champas face in the air
"Is that so... why don't you prove it instead of rambling all the time."
"You asked for it!" Champa roared. The gods clashed fists immediately shaking the ground around them. Their fists blocking each other's blows left and right with neither seeming to gain on the other.
"I must say Champa your faster than I thought you would be, maybe if you lost all that weight you might actually be able to hit me."
"I'll make you eat those words Beerus!" Suddenly Champa formed multiple purple orbs around himself.
"Haki!"
Champa launched all 8 purple orbs directly at Beerus. As Beerus dodged each one casually he yawned in response to a pitiful attempt for an attack.
"Did you really think that would work, this truly is starting to bore me."
"Hmph" Champa muttered with a smile on his face as he raised two fingers directly up.
Beerus sensed a threat directly behind him as he moved out of the way, one of the orbs grazed his cheek drawing blood.
"Hah you should see the look on your face Beerus, Who's the slow one now!"
Beerus scowled at his brother dodging more purple orbs as they flew by him. Champa must be controlling them Beerus thought to himself. To think he would be able to maneuver this many Haki's in such short distance from each other. Beerus flew flipping around each orb one by one as they passed by.
"Enough of this!" Beerus roared while exerting his ki outward destroying each haki orb. The instant the orbs were destroyed Beerus realized Champa had moved out of his sight and Beerus turned around.
"Wide open" Champa smiled as he was right in front of Beerus, inches from hitting him with a fully charged Haki in his hand. I really have been underestimating him Beerus thought, but this is far from a problem, I'll just...
"OH LORD CHAMPA!"
Champa's concentration slipped him and he released the Haki out of his hand missing Beerus by an inch.
"Damn you Vados what the hell is it!?"
Just as Champa was about to turn and face Vados he heard a scream from down below.
"GOTEN WATCH OUT!" Chi Chi screamed. The Haki Champa had misfired was heading straight at Goten without him noticing. Chi Chi jumped in front of him as she was right next to him while he was playing around with Trunks.
"Mom!" Gohan yelled trying to fly to stop the Haki before it hit her.
"Dammit the blast is moving too fast for us to catch it in time, we're too far away and it's moving too fast" Piccolo stated. Nobody was able to stop it and ChI Chi was just close enough to move in front. At that same moment Goku and Whis appeared near capsule Corp. Goku having just arrived there, had barely any time to be able to register everything happening, all he saw was the Haki collide with Chi Chi vaporizing her instantly.
"CHI CHI!" Goku screamed at the top of his lungs.
"What did you to do to mom!?" Goten cried out with tears flowing down his cheeks.
"You monster, you'll pay for this!" Gohan yelled as he powered up ready to attack Champa.
"Hold on Gohan! Let's not jump the gun yet, it was clearly an accident. Whis can't you reverse time and bring her back?" Piccolo asked
"I'm afraid not"
"What do you mean you can't Whis?! Goku said in confusion and anger "you brought back all of Earth when Frieza destroyed it."
"While this is true Goku, it's different in this case, your wife was hit with a destruction orb. She has been erased from all of existence including all time lines. If I were to go back in time she would not come back."
"You mean she's gone forever?" Gohan asked in disbelief trying his best to hold back tears
"I'm afraid so, she won't be in the afterlife either. It will be as if she never existed."
"That just can't be!" Goku yelled
"Hold up, what about the super dragon balls Whis?" Bulma asked confident her idea would work. Vados flew over and sighed "not even that would work, once someone is erased from existence the dragon will not be able to identify the person you are speaking of. I'm afraid she is gone forever."
Goten started bawling and ran towards his dad with tears flowing everywhere on his face as he jumped into Gokus arms.
"Dad say it's not true, mom can't be gone!"
Bulma watched as she saw Goku clench his fist with Goten in his other arm. The look of frustration on his face
"Goku" she stated softly, imagining the pain he must be feeling.
"This is all your fault Vados, if you hadn't interrupted me, it would have been Beerus instead" Champa said with his eyes closed and arms crossed.
"I was trying to inform you of the delicious food over at these tables. You keep whining about how I never mention to you about the food at the places we visit. I've also told you several times to quit starting fights with the other gods." Vados said with a serious look on her face.
Beerus looks at his brother with an angry expression "You always seem to make a mess of things every time you..."
"ENOUGH!" Goku yelled out suddenly.
"Gohan grab hold off me" Gohan did so without any hesitation. In an instant Goten Goku and Gohan were gone.
