Hello there! Welcome to the opening chapter of my first fanfic! I hope you will enjoy it. This file has been sitting in my Google docs for almost a year, and I decided to upload it. I probably will continue this, but no promises. Without further ado, let's get into the this. *Edit. I decided to continue with this story and will update every Monday.*

In all of time and space there are only 12 universes. Some contain vibrant life where people are happy and free, but others contain nothing more than hate, death and destruction. Every Universe has evil, and every universe has good. The prominent allegiance of the universe is determined by the winner in the inevitable battle of good vs. evil. Heroes will always rise, but they don't always emerge victorious. In two of these universes there are great heroes in the making.

The 7th universe contains a beautiful blue gem called Earth. There is no planet quite like it. Not even it's counterpart in the 6th universe compares to it. On this world there are seven mystical orbs. When all are gathered, they can summon a magical dragon named Shenron, who can grant nearly any wish. The young man known as Goku has been stopping those who have wanted to misuse the dragon's power. He has beaten every obstacle in his way, any opponent to challenge him. He has even surpassed his planet's god. All of this, and he's still only 23 years old. Goku has had many adventures and made life-long friends, but now he has settled down; started a family. If his world needs him, Son Goku will be there to answer the call.

The 8th universe contains a luscious planet that goes by two names. Mobius by its animal population and Earth by its human population. Each side creates a vast variety of cultures, and both get along rather swimmingly. What the average citizen doesn't know is that this planet contains seven magical gems. With all seven collected, the user will have access to near infinite power. Many evils have tried to obtain this power and use it to conquer the world. But one person always stopped them. And his name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. Utilizing the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic and his pals have been able to stop every threat to their world. Occasionally, even other worlds. Sonic is like the wind, fast and free. He fights for justice, adventure, and chili dogs. Right now Sonic is doing what he always does in his down time, exploring the world. He goes about testing his speed, enjoying his freedom. After all he may never know when his egg headed enemy will drag him into battle once again.

Both of these heroes have accomplished much, but have more room to grow. Their worlds are about to face an unfathomable darkness. Fate has destined these two to meet one another and accomplish something truly incredible. Fight off unstoppable evils, and become legends.

A simple farmer was planting radishes in his large farm when suddenly he heard a loud noise and felt the ground around him tremble. He went to go investigate the noise, but not before grabbing his shotgun in case he needed to pop a cap in someone's ass. As he got closer to the source of the disturbance, an outline of some foreign object and into view. Upon closer investigation, he could make out what appeared to be a round pod. Suddenly a door opened. Out stepped a tall, well built man with black spandex armor and absurdly long, spiky hair. 'Wait, is that a tail wrapped around his waist? What a weirdo.' The farmer decided to question this strange man and show him who's in control.

"Hey you!" barked the farmer. "You crashed into my farmland and destroyed my carrots! Either you get over here and pay me for the damages, or get your butt of my property! Don't make me do something you'll regret!"

"So Kakarot has failed to eliminate the life on this planet," the man said aloud to himself. "That's a shame. The people here seem to have such treacherous manners. This recruiting mission might be more interesting than I thought."

"Hey! I'm talking to you buddy! Ignore me again and I'll shoot!"

"Oh what do we have here? This little peasant thinks he can badmouth a Saiyan elite? What's your power level tiny human?" The man clicked on a button on his ocular device. The scouter started to whiz while determining a number. "Only 5 huh. Pathetic. Let's see if that archaic little toy of yours will be able to harm me."

That was the straw that broke the camel's back. You can talk bad about him, but no one talks shit about his shotgun, Sheila.

"See you in hell." The farmer said with as much venom as he can muster as he shot straight for the asshole's face. He got the shock of his life when the man simply caught the bullet like it was moving in slow motion.

"I believe this belongs to you." With a flick of the thumb, the bullet shot back towards its owner; much faster than the gun had shot it. All the farmer could do was stare in bewilderment before the bullet went through his skull. The farmer had died instantly and his blood created a crimson puddle in the dirt.

The strange man gave a quick sadistic smile, pleased with the work he's done before donning a face of seriousness. After all, he had business to attend to. The scouter whizzed once more, and the man saw there was a fairly high power level a few hundred miles away.

'It has to be him,' he thought to himself. The man flew off towards his objective in break neck speeds. Leaving the dead farmer in his wake.

Goku was so stricken with anticipation it made him giggle like a young school girl. He was riding on the Nimbus cloud with his four year old son Gohan. Flying high in the sky, they were heading towards Master Roshi's home for a little get together. Goku was so excited because he hasn't seen any of his friends in five whole years! The guy really should get away and visit more often. Not that he doesn't love being a husband and father, there's just this empty feeling inside. He assumed he was just missing his friends, but deep down he knew it was something more. Contrary to popular belief, Son Goku is not an idiot. Every time he was in over his head, or the odds were stacked against him, Goku has always felt extreme joy and excitement. He was able to put two and two together.

'I guess I miss the action of the good old days.' Sure he liked adventuring and meeting new people and loved all the good food, but fighting was on a completely different level. He has found time to train in the mornings, yet he really hasn't had an opponent to test himself against. 'Maybe Piccolo would be up for a fight?'

Goku had to cut the self reflection short as they were nearing their destination. Nimbus flew over the island as Goku grabbed Gohan and jumped down into the sand. After landing squarely on both feet, Goku put Gohan down and they walked up to the door of Kame House. Goku gave the door a hard knock, and it was answered a couple seconds later by a smiling Krillin.

"Goku!" Krillin excitedly proclaimed. "Man it sure has been a while." He and Goku proceeded to exchange a firm handshake and a warm smile. "Come on in." Krillin said, not noticing Gohan behind Goku's legs. Goku stepped inside the house and gave the signature Son grin.

"Hey guys! Glad to see you all again!" The figures in the house turned towards the familiar voice and smiled as they recognised who it was. They all walked forward to greet him. Goku could see that along with Krillin: Master roshi, Bulma, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu and Launch (currently in her blonde haired form) were all there. "Before we start to catch up, I have someone I would like you all to meet." This caused confusion and slight anticipation to appear on their faces. "Come on out Gohan!" Gohan uncomfortably stepped into the center of attention.

"H-h-Hello everybody," Gohan quietly said to the crowd.

"Who's this Goku?" Krillin asked being genuinely confused. "Did you get a babysitting job or something?" That caused Goku to chuckle.

"Nope," he responded. "He's actually my son."

"WHAT!?" Everyone in the room gasped. They all had this over dramatic anime shock on their faces. The large eyes and everything.

"Yep," responded Goku with a smile on his face.

"So you named him after your grandfather then," Roshi inquired, getting over the shock before everyone else. "Very good Goku. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you master." Goku responded. He gave a bow to show his respect and gratitude that warmed the old Turtle Hermit's heart.

"So is he going to be a fighter like you Goku?" Krillin asked, getting over his shock next. The question brought a small frown to Goku's face.

"Well Krillin, that remains to be seen. Chi-Chi has been giving him a mass amount of schoolwork wanting him to grow up and be a scholar, and I have been lightly training the little guy in martial arts."

"Woah she let you do that!?" Krillin asked amazed. I figured the woman would have Gohan on lockdown."

"I thought so too, but when I asked her about it a year ago, she said she was okay with it. So long as Gohan doesn't get too hurt."

"You get to train him though, so what's up with that look?"

"I've seen Gohan do some pretty amazing things. Heck, just today I accidentally dropped Gohan into this underground lake that pours out into a waterfall. I was trying to get to him, but I wasn't going to make it before he would fall. When I get there, I see Gohan sitting on a tree branch about 200 feet above where he he should have fallen. Little things like that have led me to believe that Gohan has an incredible hidden potential. I don't know how I would feel if we were to need that power against a serious threat. I'm actually pretty worried to force him into the world of fighting. He's gentle, and he might hate having to fight. He also really enjoys studying and getting smarter. I hope he does a bit of both as he grows up, but that is his decision. I'd hate to force him to do something he doesn't want to.

"Wow. you've really are getting the hang of this dad stuff, huh?"

"I don't know about all that. It's still kinda strange having a kid. But enough about me. Let's hear about you and the others." The Z-gang all gathered around and shared tales of their lives over the five year gap. Little did they know of the catastrophic events that are about to unfold.

In the middle of a desolate wasteland there was a very tall green fellow with pointy ears; a cape; and a turban, standing alone on top of a small cliff. He was simply reflecting on something until he sensed a large power heading towards him. It gave him a huge shock.

"What is that?" Piccolo asked aloud, slightly trembling. "I've never felt anything so massive before. Could it be Goku?" He worriedly questioned. "No." Piccolo quickly corrected himself. "This power is too horrible." As the power got closer, Piccolo could make out its possessor. In a fraction of a second there was a man standing right in front of him. Before he could say a word, the powerful stranger spoke.

"Excuse me for dropping in. I was looking for a man named Kakarot, and I'd thought you might be him."

"Well you thought wrong." Piccolo replied harshly. "Now turn around and get out of here before I get angry."

"Looks like someone's having a bad day," the stranger joked. This caused Piccolo to growl, for the man was not wrong about the matter. After finally developing a new technique and trying it out for the first time, he realises it takes Five. Whole. Minutes. To charge up. So now he would have to spend more time on it before it could be properly used on his enemy. Annoyed with this man's presence, Piccolo tried once more to make him leave.

"You have no idea. Now this is the last time I'm going to tell you, get lost." Piccolo told him coldly. "I'm not this 'Kakarot' person you're looking for. Why don't you go find him before your body become too broken to move." This only caused the man to chuckle.

"Oh we have a feisty one I see. You would enjoy me leaving, wouldn't you." He proceeded to click his scouter to see what kind of an opponent he was up against. "Power level of 322. I can tell you aren't from this planet. But you'd be a fool to attack me with such a insignificant power level." This got the desired effect and put Piccolo on edge.

"Listen to me," Piccolo said tensely as sweat poured down over his face. "You came over here, and I have no intention of starting a fight if I don't have to," Piccolo explained honestly.

"But I do," The man responded. And this made piccolo even more on edge.

'Alright if that's how he wants it,' piccolo thought to himself. He channeled his ki into his hands and gave a slight smile. 'Then so be it.' Piccolo unleashed a powerful energy wave on the man in front of him. It was a direct hit and it left behind a thick wall of smoke. He eagerly awaited for the smoke to clear to see what his "friend" here had to say now. When it finally cleared, he was surprised to see the man standing there unharmed. The only effect his attack had was dusting up the bastard's clothes.

"Impressive," the man's words were dripping with sarcasm. "You actually managed to singe a couple of my leg hairs. In return, I'll show you what a real energy attack looks like." This statement filled Piccolo with fear. "I call it the Double Sunday. Now… Keep your eye on the birdi-" His scouter went off; interrupting his sentence. "Hm. I guess it's your lucky day green bean. Maybe next time." With that the man took off into the sky; leaving a terrified Piccolo behind.

'Incredible. He took one of my strongest attacks and didn't even flinch. This guy could be trouble.' Piccolo decided to follow after the man, for an opportunity to defeat him might present itself. While he might be strong, no enemy is unbeatable.

Back on Roshi's island, the Z-gang were continuing to catch up. Yamcha told everybody about his baseball career. Krillin has gotten a job in East city as a construction worker. Tien and Chiaotzu have continued to train in solitude, much to the dismay of Launch. Roshi has continued to be his perverted self. Launch has been travelling the world robbing banks, secretly searching for Tien's whereabouts. And finally Bulma has taken over her father's job as president of Capsule Corp. It is a tough job, but nothing she can't handle. They all enjoyed how today was so different than their routine lives, and they savored one another's company deeply. That all changed when Roshi and Goku sensed a looming, dark power heading towards them. Krillin, not knowing how to sense energy, asked his friends what's the matter.

"There's a large evil power heading toward us guys," Goku responded. Of all days this were to happen, why today?

"No way! You think it might be Piccolo?" Yamcha worryingly asked. This caused Goku to shake his head.

"Nope. It feels too large and too evil to be him." Everyone quickly moved outside to meet this new threat. Goku could see the speeding figure in the distance. "Everyone get ready!" Heading their friend's word, Krillin; Roshi; Tien; and Chiaotzu stood next to Goku at the front of the beach. Behind them was a cowering Gohan being held by a worried Bulma. Yamcha was in between the two groups, in a stance ready to defend his girlfriend. Launch (Currently in her blue haired form) was in the doorway looking very worried along with Turtle. A few seconds later the figure finally landed on the island. He grinned when he finally found who he was looking for.

"Hello there… Kakarot," the stranger greeted. This only made everyone present confused.

"No one here is named Kakarot," Goku explained. "Now tell us why you are here!" The man was shocked at hearing this before responding.

"You are Kakarot. Don't tell me you forgot your own name!" This angered Goku.

"My name is not Kakarot. My name is Goku! You must have me mistaken for someone else." This statement caused the man to get angry.

"You idiot! Not only do you fail your mission of exterminating all life on this planet, but you forgot who you were!" Krillin decided to speak next.

"Why would Goku destroy all life on Earth? He's been doing the exact opposite for years."

"So you think you're one of them huh. Protecting this planet. Tell me Kakarot, have you ever hit your head as a baby?" Goku didn't even have to think about the answer.

"I did. I still have a scar from it in fact. What does that have to do with anything?"

"I hate to burst your bubble Kakarot, but you and I are part of an elite warrior race known as the Saiyans. We thrive on combat and kill anyone who opposes us." This caused everyone in present to gasp and look in disbelief. "And to top off this emotional onslaught… my name is Raditz. And I am your older brother." Everyone gasped and looked at Raditz in complete disbelief. Everyone but one.

"I think he's right guys." Roshi admitted. "Goku there is something I need to tell you. Your Grandfather, Gohan was walking toward his home after collecting some supplies when he heard crying. When he went to investigate, he saw a crying baby with a fuzzy tail in front of a round space pod. Not wanting to leave it alone, he decided to take it home with him. He named him Son Goku, and raised him." Goku was surprised to hear the story of his infancy.

"Why haven't you ever told me master?"

"Because I wanted to wait until you were older. I was going to tell you today in fact, but your brother here beat me to it."

"How come I was sent to Earth?" Goku asked his brother. Raditz kindly answered his ignorant brother's question.

"You were born a low class warrior. And like all low class warriors, you were sent away to a planet with a weak population. Conquering it should have been easy since this planet has a full moon." Raditz then noticed his brother's lack of a tail. "Kakarot! What happened to your tail?"

"I got it permanently removed. Why does it matter?"

"It matters because a saiyan's tail is the key to their full potential! Your lucky we're desperate for Saiyans brother. Otherwise I would just kill you now and leave. Tailless Saiyans are disgraceful!" Goku didn't take that kindly.

"Why are you so desperate for other Saiyans anyway?" This brought a frown to Raditz's face.

"Our planet was destroyed by a gigantic meteor. The only survivors are us two, the Saiyan General, and the Saiyan Prince. We are attempting to conquer a planet with extremely powerful warriors on it, so I told the Prince that I have a brother who could help and headed here. You're not nearly as strong as I had hoped, but your power is good enough."

"Listen. In case you may not have noticed I'm not a cold-blooded killer. I'd never help people like you. I'm not a Saiyan and you are not my brother!" Raditz has had enough.

"Fine you fool. This could have been so much simpler, but you have forced my hand. Prepare yourself." Before Goku could even get into his stance, there was knee digging into his stomach. The pain was extremely intense. Goku got pushed down onto his back.

Krillin quickly jumped forward to help his friend, but was simply smacked from Raditz's tail into Kame House.

Tien and Chiaotzu flew at the Saiyan's sides and threw out a rapid flurry of punches and kicks. Raditz dodged every blow with extreme ease and sent both fighters flying with two simultaneous elbows to the face.

Yamcha deeply concentrated and created a orange ball of ki in his palm. He threw out his Spirit Ball at an extremely high speed. This actually got Raditz's attention. He quickly sidestepped to dodge the ball, but was surprised when it quickly turned around and hit him from behind. The ball continued to follow the movements of Yamcha's index finger, which was moving in a vast array of directions to keep the Saiyan at bay.

While Yamcha was being a distraction, Roshi powered up to max and started charging a MAX power Kamehameha. The power he was building was noticed by Raditz's scouter.

'Hm. 510 and still rising. This old man is not half bad. I guess I will continue to humor them. They're still ants compared to me,' Raditz thought to himself.

"Take this you freak!/ Leave my students alone!" Yamcha and Roshi screamed simultaneously. "Spirit Strike!/ Kamehameha!" The large energy wave rushed towards Raditz from the front and the energy ball blitzed towards the Saiyan at record speeds. The two attacks hit Raditz full force, creating a giant explosion and a gale of wind that nearly blew Bulma and Launch off the island.

The two Turtle School members panted heavily from their efforts. Everyone waited to see the results of the attack. When the sky was clear Raditz had small scratches on his armor and singes on his arms, but was still fairly unharmed.

"That was my strongest attack," quivered Yamcha. "What the hell is this guy made of!?"

"Not a bad attempt," Raditz complimented. "That actually stung a little. But if that's the best you can do then you won't be able to defeat me." Raditz floated back down to the island and prepared to eradicate the two pestering Earthlings. Goku, having recovered from the earlier attack, quickly moved in front of his brother.

"Leave my friends alone! They have nothing to do with this. Your beef is with me!" Goku dropped into his stance.

"You're right brother. Let's continue our battle."

Goku decided to attack first and flew off the ground, aiming a kick at Raditz's chest. Raditz attempted catch his brother's leg, but Goku completely fazed through him. He then felt a fist roughly shoved into his back. That attack had actually slightly hurt Raditz. Goku aimed another ki-infused fist at his brother's back, but was staggered by a fierce elbow. Raditz turned around and delivered yet another knee to the gut, knocking Goku down once again.

"Tsk. Tsk. Downed by the same attack twice. You really are a low class Saiyan."

Having built up some courage, Gohan decided to help his father get up. His uncle tried to grab him, but he avoided the slow grab and kicked Raditz's shin with all the strength he could muster.

"Ow! Why you little shit, get over here!" Raditz grabbed for Gohan much quicker this time and firmly held him up by his shirt. Being treated so harshly caused the poor child to cry. "He's a feisty one isn't he. Sure is pretty strong for his age, and still has his tail! We may not need you after all Kakarot."

"Raditz no! Please don't take him!" Goku desperately pleaded.

"Listen carefully Kakarot. If you ever want to see your son again, you will kill 100 humans and bring them to this beach. You have 24 hours starting now." With that done, Raditz flew with his Nephew away from the island. A few seconds later, Goku was finally able to get himself up. Tien and Chiaotzu returned shortly after and Krillin emerged from the rubble he was under.

"What are you going to do Goku?" Bulma asked.

"I'm going to go get my son back." Roshi shook his head disapprovingly.

"He's too strong for you Goku. We aren't strong enough to help. And fighting him alone would be suicide."

"He won't be alone," a familiar voice exclaimed. They looked up to see Piccolo floating above the island. "If the two of us work together, we may actually stand a chance to beat him. But don't take this as an act of kindness. The sooner he's dead, the sooner I can kill you and take over the world." Goku smiled. Some things never change. And the prospect of a challenge was starting to bring in that pure feeling of bliss for the first time in 5 years.

"Alright Piccolo. We'll defeat him, and then it will be you and me! Flying Nimbus!" A couple seconds later Nimbus flew in front of Goku and he jumped aboard the cloud. "Think you can keep up with nimbus?" Goku asked Piccolo.

"Please. I'd be embarrassed if that thing could keep up with me." With that they took off flying towards their adversary's power. Roshi wished those two the best of luck, and hoped that there was someone who could help them. Another great hero to overcome this grave evil.

Sonic the hedgehog has been enjoying the well-deserved peace in his world. After that whole Time Eater fiasco, Eggman has been quiet. No attacks on him or any of his friends. No word of any appearances. Sonic knows Eggman is planning something big, but he is not worried. Without the power of all seven chaos emeralds or the master emerald, that Egghead is nothing he can't handle. He won't be able to obtain them anyways since Shadow still has his signature green emerald, and Knuckles guards the master emerald 24/7. As a former enemy of both loners, Sonic can confirm that those green emeralds are in well protected hands.

Currently Sonic was practicing with his extreme gear. Flying low to the ground and drifting around all the trees and rocks. While he rarely does this, Sonic decided to take some equipment with him while looking out for Eggman. On him he currently has the following items:His extreme gear Blue Star 2, Shara's ring, Calibur, and Chip's bracelet. He decided to bring all of this because he wants to be prepared for anything, and this gear makes him more versatile. Blue Star 2 allows him to hover. Shara's ring can enhance his speed and reflexes with speed and time break. It can also summon Shara herself to grant a wish or two. Calibur is the only weapon he feels like wielding when his normal combat just won't cut it. Chip's bracelet is a special case he needs it. When he laid the finishing blow on Dark Gaia, some of it's essence entered Sonic once again. Meaning that at night, he will become the werehog once more. Thankfully Chip's bracelet counteracts that, so as long as he has it on he won't undergo the transformation at night. Not to say his werehog form is a useless cripple. It was pretty powerful in it's own right. And paired with his other gear, it can be deadly. Despite this, he prefers to be his cool blue self. All this reflection caused Sonic to space out a little.

"Watch where you are going!" Caliburn warned Sonic. Sonic refocused and saw he was about to crash into a group of trees. Instead of slowing down like a sane person would, Sonic sped up his extreme gear, and got into a stance with Caliburn in hand. He slashed through the trees as he approached them, leaving enough room for himself to narrowly squeeze through. With the trees out of his way, Sonic came to a stop and looked back at the trees.

"Thanks for the warning back there Caliburn!" Sonic thanked his talking sword. "That would have been painful."

"Don't thank me yet Sonic. I believe we have some company to attend to." Sonic looked to his right and saw a dozen egg pawns scrambling about and running towards their ridiculously shaped Eggman themed chopper. Oh man this is going to be fun.

The propellers started turning faster and faster. It lifted up the chopper, and it send a fast breeze everywhere. It kicked up leaves and made Sonic's spines flow. He suddenly had an idea so crazy, it might just work. Quickly he ran back towards the trees he have cut down and he made a makeshift ramp. Satisfied it will be enough, Sonic got in front of the ramp and boosted towards it. There was a small Sonic boom as Sonic easily broke the sound barrier. Right before the ramp's edge, Sonic jumped and was launched towards the airborne chopper. Before any of the robots could take defensive measures, they heard Sonic on the railing. Using his shoes and Caliburn, Sonic stopped his momentum. He opened up the door to the inner chamber and what he saw put a smile on his face, Egg Pawns trembling in his wake. Its weird that Eggman would program his robots with fear, but Sonic's ego likes to think his feats are crazy enough to give them fear. One smart Egg Pawn shot at the open door, for he was hoping to prevent getting destroyed. The hedgehog disappeared right before the bullets reached him, and he had his sword through the "stomach" of his shooter. With him out of the way, Sonic was free to use his body as an oversized bowling ball. Using his axe kick technique, Sonic sent that one robot sprawling into his ten buddies. The force behind the attack was enough to knock all the robot's out the second door and outside the chopper. A large fall awaited them. Before Sonic could take his leave, he sensed something. A familiar energy resonated in his blood. The power of chaos within him was calling out to something. Having felt this many times over the course of his life, Sonic already knew what it was. That was a chaos emerald.

'So that was what was what those bots were doing.' He walked over to the safe it was stored in. The safe was made of a thick layer of titanium. There wasn't enough room to do much besides punch and kick, so Sonic couldn't break through on his own. He could attempt to use Caliburn, but that would put a lot of stress on the blade. He had him break once. He promised to not let that happen ever again. That left him only one option. Sonic rubbed the ring on his right middle finger. In a poof of smoke, his genie friend appeared.

"O, master of the ring. What is thy wish?"

'Again with the whole master nonsense.' Sonic finally got Caliburn to drop the formalities when addressing him, but not yet with Shahra. That's somewhat to be expected though. Shahra still lives in her world, while Caliburn does not. If he did he'd just be a sleeping blade again. Shara on the other hand has a life to return to once she has fulfilled a wish. But she'll always be there for Sonic when he needs her. They are bound to one another.

"Think you can help me with this safe? I don't enough room to force my way through."

"Hm. I don't think I'd be able to actually open it. You know how I am with metal, but I can give you the combination. The safe combination is 5, 7, 7, 13, 1, 14."

"Thanks Shahra. I can always count on you!" Sonic said ecstatically, before becoming a bit more soft and sincere. "See you later." Shahra gave her master, her friend a smile and a wave goodbye before disappearing in another cloud of smoke."

"Was it just me, or was she worried about something?" Caliburn asked.

"Yeah, I was just about to ask you." Sonic replied.

"I suddenly have this feeling like something isn't right."

Hm. I don't feel anything. Then again, I'm not one to worry. If something happens we'll be able to handle it. As long as we have hope, friendship, and the power of the Chaos Emeralds, nothing can stop us." Satisfied with his answer, Caliburn gave a grunt of agreement. With that Sonic opened the safe to reveal the light blue Chaos Emerald. He grabbed it out of it's case and pulled out his extreme gear. He jumped out of the chopper, leaving it behind as he flew towards adventure.

Eggman was getting restless. He feels as if he's running out of options against Sonic. He's used so many different means to defeat that pesky hedgehog. The power of the master emerald, a chaos god of destruction, the power of the chaos emeralds, a demon within the earth, an alien race's energy, a freaking time god. Even working with himself from another dimension wasn't enough. Sure he had twice the Eggman, but he had twice the pests to fight and twice the emeralds to thwart his plans. Being the hard headed genius that he was, he would never accept failure. He now was trying to make another device. One that would leave Sonic's ultimate weapon completely useless against him. Speed. Now eggman already tried to slow down Sonic, but that still wasn't enough to end his miserable existence. So he'll have a machine that goes so fast, that Sonic's speed won't compare. An extremely difficult task to accomplish since Sonic can easily break the sound barrier like nothing. But Sonic's speed is insignificant compared to chaos control. He has seen Shadow and even Sonic use this technique a few times, so they won't be exactly helpless to his machine. But for those two it takes effort. It still takes Sonic a good amount of strain to pull off this move with a chaos emerald. Shadow can perform it almost effortlessly with a chaos emerald, but without one it takes some work. If he could make a machine that could have complete control over space and time, then he'd be unstoppable. The only real question is how to do it.

For the last couple months Eggman has been conducting exquisite research on the chaos emeralds themselves. He currently has five. And he's expecting the sixth to arrive any minute now. A couple minutes later he heard his chopper arrive. He went to greet his pawns and to obtain his emerald, only to find the ship a mess. One side didn't have it's door in, the safe was wide open, and he could see oil dripping on the floor. He didn't need an IQ of 300 to figure out what has happened. That impudent hedgehog stopped him from getting this one. Sonic having an emerald complicates things, but it doesn't matter. I just need to figure out chaos control, and I'll be set. with that, Eggman got back to work on discovering how to use the illusive chaos control.

'Okay, so I set the emeralds to this frequency, then I input desired coordinates, and then that should be it right.' Eggman flipped the switch once more, but still nothing. 'Maybe I should target an energy source for now. Until I can figure it out completely, I should try to get this thing to work at all.' Eggman turned on his radar for a significant energy source. The other emeralds wouldn't work. God knows he didn't want to run into either hedgehog until he was ready. But where else to look? Eggman had built this radar with the combination of his intellect, his descendant's, his dimensional counterpart. He even stole some of the fox's radar technology to incorporate this. There had to be another source somewhere. He pushed the radar to it's absolute limits. Searching far beyond Mobius, until Eggman found something. In a planet on a star map he couldn't recognize held seven powerful objects that seemed similar to the chaos emeralds, but different in a way. He wasn't going to risk it since this was completely new territory, but that wasn't his decision to make. The five chaos emeralds glowed with a blinding light that consumed Eggman and his eggomatic. A second later, they were gone. Unknown to him, the other two emeralds and their controller followed suit at the same time.

Goku and Piccolo flew in complete silence, until Piccolo decided to break the ice.

"Do you even have a plan to beat him? I doubt just winging it is going to cut it Goku." Goku gave a curt laugh.

"Honestly? I don't have a plan. I just know I won't let the psycho hurt my son. I'll just fight as I always have. And hope for a miracle." with that, Goku and Piccolo could see Raditz in the distance. He didn't look shocked to see them, courtesy of that device on his face.

"What are you doing here Kakarot? I highly doubt you killed a hundred earthlings in such a short time. Unless that's just how good you are at destruction." Raditz said trying to tease his brother.

"I would never kill the innocent people of this planet. I'm just here to defeat you and take my son back!"

"Don't make me laugh Kakarot! You and green bean over there don't have the power to match me."

"There's more to a fight than just strength." Goku started to take off his weighted clothes, quickly followed by Piccolo.

'Hm. There power levels have raised a little. Kakarot is at 450, and the grumpy one is at 408.' The warriors got into their stances and prepared for combat.

Sonic was just flying over the horizon, when all of a sudden he was consumed by a white light. He felt that strange tingling sensation he has established with chaos control. When he took in his new surroundings, he was in a grassy field.

'Oh great! What alternate reality was I sent to this time?' It honestly didn't appear to be too different from Mobius. Sonic stopped and took in his surroundings. Was that a round spaceship in the middle of this crater? Suddenly Sonic felt intense winds and heard the sounds of high speed combat a short distance away. Any other person probably would've avoided such a situation, but Sonic ran towards it eagerly. He wants to find out more about the world he's in, but more importantly he wants to lend a hand to those in need. After all, even heroes need backup every once in awhile.
