When Zamasu opened the entrance of the courtyard, he did not expect to see the man he hated the most.

Right now, Goku, Beerus, Whis, and Supreme Kai of Universe 7 were staring at Zamasu with a serious look, as if they were expecting him. Zamasu had just prepared Tea for his master Gowasu when he suddenly met with Goku and the others. "Why are they here?" he wondered.

Zamasu stared at Goku and noticed that his clothing was kind of in shreds. It would seem that the Saiyan had just returned back from a battle or something. Now his plans for killing Gowasu would have to get delayed till they leave.

Whereas for Goku and the others, the Saiyan had just returned from the future after being defeated by Black Goku and Future Zamasu. After discovering that both of them weren't the same person, Goku had a doubt that the present Zamasu would kill Gowasu.

Which was why they were here in the first place.

Zamasu turned around and closed the doors behind him before facing the group once again. "Well, well, if it isn't the Supreme Kai of the 7th universe, with the God of Destruction Beerus-sama, Whis-sama, and…" He glanced at Goku. "If I'm not mistaken, you're Son Goku?" as he began to push the tea tray forward towards Gowasu who was sitting on a chair next to a table.

Goku stared at Zamasu in confusion as he wondered what had gotten to him. He seemed to be acting innocent all of the sudden. Plus, it was like as if Zamasu wasn't evil at all.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were coming." Zamasu apologized as he bowed. "Forgive me for the late greeting. So, what's your business here? The last time you came here was when you asked about the Time Ring to search for an unknown figure at Universe 7, by searching through all of the universes… Were you able to find out something?"

Clearly, Beerus and Whis could make out that Zamasu was only acting innocent. Gowasu explained, "No, they came to see you, Zamasu."

Zamasu was confused by this as he asked, "To see me?"

The God of Destruction decided to play along and chuckled a little before glancing at Goku and explaining. "Well you see, this idiot wants to have a fight with you one more time no matter what."

"I also tried to stop him, but he just wouldn't listen. But he's the type who won't listen to others." Whis explained.

"Huh? I don't recall saying anything- YOW!" Goku said as he suddenly got clobbered by Beerus who was growling at him. "Ouch! Again, Beerus-sama?"

Beerus yelled, "I told you to shut up!"

Goku rubbed his head and whined, "Even then, it's no good to hit me like that! It hurts! Hold back a little will ya?"

"Silence! You speak too much, that's why!" Beerus scolded.

Zamasu narrowed his eyes at Goku and Beerus and wondered, "These guys, could it be…" He then smiled and agreed, "If you're fine with me, I'd be glad to."

"Huh?" Goku said, baffled as he turned his attention back at Zamasu as the latter began to say, "I was too unsatisfied in some ways since our last battle. Let's get started, shall we?" with that, the Kaio in training was about to move when Beerus suddenly said, "No, no, no need for that. We don't want to disturb your tea time with this," he glanced at Goku with a scowl and assured, "I'll tell this idiot off."

"Oh, Beerus-sama! It's already time, isn't it? Shouldn't we leave now?" Whis said, playing along as well and glanced at Supreme Kai for a few seconds. The Supreme Kai understood the cues Whis was giving out and nodded.

"Oh, it's also time for my afternoon nap!" Beerus said as he faked a yawn. "I'm sleepy…"

"Are we leaving already?" Goku asked, perplexed.

Beerus grit his teeth and glared daggers at him, indicating the careless Saiyan to shut up. Goku got what Beerus was saying and quickly placed his hand on his mouth.

Whis pretended to suddenly remember something and walked over to Gowasu. "Right! I almost forgot to give our gifts!" and tapped his staff on the table, materializing some snacks on the table along with two cups and one large bottle.

"What's this?" Gowasu asked.

"Tea and sweets called "Great Fortune" that came from a planet in the 7th universe called Earth.

"Ohh! Great fortune, huh?" Gowasu said, clearly interested in the snack and began to touch it. The snack bounced as soon as his finger came in contact with it. "It's soft and bouncy," he noted.

Whis smiled. "Yes! These are sweets filled with sweet red bean paste wrapped in a soft rice cake! You'll feel relaxed after having a bite of it! An unexplainable texture unfolding in your mouth! By all means, please eat this together with your tea."

Gowasu gulped the extra saliva that was accumulating in his mouth due to the thoughts that were lingering in his mind about the description of the tasty snack Whis had just described. "Well, well, we don't have good eyes for tea and snacks. Thank you for the valuable gift," he bowed.

Whis bowed back and nodded. "Well then, we'll be leaving now."

With that, Whis turned around and walked away along with Beerus who was now dragging Goku by his arm. The Forgotten Saiyan was still confused by the whole situation. Why was Beerus and Whis going now? What if Zamasu kills Gowasu in their absence? "Is it really fine if we leave now?"

Beerus glanced behind his shoulder and scowled. "Enough talking! We're leaving!" as the Supreme Kai began to walk along with them as well.

After Zamasu and Gowasu saw Goku and the other gods departing, the master glanced at his apprentice and said, "I'll be eating this now."

Zamasu smiled. "Of course, Gowasu."


IN SPACE – WITH GOKU, BEERUS, WHIS, AND SUPREME KAI

Whis and Supreme Kai were currently travelling through space at a high velocity when they suddenly stopped, causing Goku to lose balance. The sudden change in momentum sent him flying forward. Before the Saiyan could be sent flying any further from the group, Whis tapped his staff in mid-air and created a shield that surrounded them, stopping Goku from flying away any further as he crashed towards the wall of the shield and fell down. "Yow!"

Supreme Kai glanced at Whis and asked, "So, how was it?"

Whis smiled and answered, "It's just as we suspected."

"There's no mistake… He's out there to kill Gowasu." Beerus chimed in.

Supreme Kai gasped as Goku got up and interjected, "Are you sure, Beerus-sama?"

Whis stated, "We could clearly smell his killing intent in his spirit. It's like the fart of Beerus-sama!"

Beerus scowled and yelled, "How rude! My fart doesn't smell that bad!"

Goku rubbed his back head and smiled sheepishly. "But I never felt anything in his spirit though…"

"Beerus-sama is the God of Destruction. So, he's particularly sensitive to those matters. Of course, I am too." Whis elaborated.

"Did Gowasu-sama also notice it?" Goku asked.

"He probably didn't notice it." Supreme Kai said. "After all, I also wasn't able to sense Zamasu's killing intent."

"Then we should go hurry and help!" Goku insisted.

"Don't be in such a rush!" Beerus scolded. "I'll be sure to kill him when he's about to destroy the Supreme Kai. But only after we obtain some evidence."

"Evidence? It'll be too late if we wait for him to be killed, Beerus-sama!" Goku said with worry.

"I understand what you're trying to say, Goku, but the enemy is the next Supreme Kai of the 10th universe. So, we can't simply eliminate him just because we felt his killing intent. We don't have a choice but to watch him first." Whis explained and pointed his staff towards a random direction, creating a circle that showed what Zamasu and Gowasu were doing, just like a magical crystal ball.


WITH ZAMASU AND GOWASU – 10TH UNIVERSE KAOISHIN REALM

Zamasu placed tea for Gowasu on the table and said, "Gowasu-sama, here's some tea."

Gowasu stared at the tea curiously and commented, "Oh! A green tea is unusual," and smelled the fragrance of it. "It has a natural fragrance, I must say."

As the group were watching the scene unfold, Supreme Kai of the 7th Universe gasped and wondered, "What?! Could it be that there's poison in that tea?"

Goku glanced to his left at Beerus and urged, "Beerus-sama!"

Beerus didn't say anything as he continued to carefully watch what was going to happen next.

"Alright, then I'll drink it." Gowasu held the cup of tea, blew it a little to cool it down, and took a sip of it. "Oh? It has a gentle taste that calms the heart."

Goku and the Supreme Kai sighed in relief since there was no poison in the tea. But they still had to watch Zamasu for a little more time.


FUTURE TIMELINE – TEA HOUSE PARTY VERENDA – WITH BLACK GOKU AND FUTURE ZAMASU

Black Goku leaned against a fence and smashed his hand towards his palm with a confident smirk. "Son Goku… You're one step away from me taking your head."

Future Zamasu, who was across Black sitting on a chair next to a table, sipped his tea and said, "That's fine. We realized that they're not strong enough to be our enemies. Besides, if you kill Son Goku, you'll lose the fodder meant to improve your fighting capabilities," he placed his tea on the saucer and continued, "Slowly, carefully, kill him and consume his bones up to the marrow until it runs out. You too are the same as me. Isn't it nice to use the Super Dragon Balls to gain immortality? Immortal bodies are good, y'know?"

Goku scoffed and straightened his posture before transforming into a Super Saiyan Rose. Dark Pinkish aura surrounded him. "I'm satisfied with this power… With this supreme fighting capabilities! It's not enough that I just get immortal body! I'll get a lot stronger!" as he clenched his fist and smirked. "This limitless power is necessary for our plan after all."


WITH GOWASU AND ZAMASU – UNIVERSE 10 KAIOSHIN REALM

Gowasu was currently enjoying the Great Fortune that was given by Whis a while back and took a sip of his tea. He commented, Great Fortune and this green colored tea is a superb combination." He glanced at his student and offered, "Try it too, Zamasu."

"No, I'm fine." Zamasu politely denied. "Also, you have some white power near your mouth," he pointed out.

True enough, there was the leftovers of the Great Fortune near his mouth as Gowasu looked at it. "Hm? I didn't notice it," and rubbed his mouth with a handkerchief.

Zamasu could only smile at this as Supreme Kai watched both of them and asked Beerus, "He's not taking any actions at all. Does Zamasu really intend to kill Gowasu?"

"Yes, that's for sure." Beerus assured.

Goku stomach growled as the Forgotten Saiyan whined, "He's enjoying his meal so much that it has made me hungry too!"

Whis shook his head and said, "Goku, just be a little more patient."

Meanwhile, Gowasu continued to take sips of his Tea and enjoy the fragrance of it. He was having his usual calm and peaceful afternoon when Zamasu decided to catch his master's attention, "Gowasu-sama."

Gowasu placed his tea down and asked, "What is it?'

Zamasu smiled. "I think I may have been mistaken after all."

"Huh?" Gowasu said, clearly not understanding what Zamasu was trying to say.

Zamasu, understanding the cues his master was giving out, decided to dismiss his confusion by explaining, "I gave another thought to what you said to me a while back. About the balance between good and evil," the soon-to-be Kaioshin stood up from his place and went next to his master's side. "Because there is evil, justice is born. It may have been the case after all. I have only been looking at things from one perspective."

Gowasu smiled and acknowledged, "Zamasu, I believed that you'd surely understand what I meant."

Zamasu smiled in embarrassment, as if flattered by the comment. "I see, I see…" Gowasu said, satisfied that he was able to sway away Zamasu's doubts on humans. With that, he resumed his snack time and took another bite of the Great Fortune when Zamasu suddenly lifted his hand up behind his master while he wasn't paying attention.

Zamasu was about to kill his own master.

Zamasu's hand emitted a purple aura, prepared to kill Gowasu at any moment.

"Is he about to…?" Goku's words trailed off.

Supreme Kai glanced at Beerus and frantically said, "Beerus-sama! Do something!"

"Guah!" Gowasu choked.

After Supreme Kai suddenly heard Gowasu choking, he frantically looked at the scene and saw that the Supreme Kai of the 10th Universe was choking for some reason. Did Zamasu already strike him?

Fortunately, that was not the case. Gowasu was acutally choking because he ate the Daifuku (Great Fortune) too fast which caused him to choke momentarily. The Kai had to quickly drink some green tea in order to push down the daifuku that was stuck in his throat. It indeed did work and he sighed with relief. "Oh! I'm saved! Daifuku, huh? I need to eat this carefully."

The aura around Zamasu's hand diminished and he quickly put his hand down so that he wouldn't get caught red-handed. He needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to kill Gowasu. After all, he did not want his master to see the attack coming.

"Anyway, this is a very delicious snack." Gowasu commented before drinking his tea once again. Zamasu glared at Gowasu and raised his hand up. Purple aura once again shrouded his hand as he glared at Gowasu.

It was the perfect opportunity for Zamasu to kill Gowasu.

"Beerus-sama!" Supreme Kai urged.

"If we don't hurry, Gowasu-sama will be done for!" Goku urged as well.

Beerus and Whis however didn't say anything as they continued to watch Zamasu. Did they not care for what was going to happen to Gowasu?

"Whis!" Goku urged.

Zamasu smirked and finally delivered a chop on Gowasu's neck, killing him in the process as the cup of tea he was holding got knocked from his hands and spilled on the table.

All of the sudden, Whis tapped his staff on the bottom of the barrier they were in and began to rewind time. Basically, once it was confirmed that Zamasu's intention was to kill Gowasu, Whis would reverse time so that they would be able to save the Universe 10 Supreme Kai before his demise.

However…

Whis completely fucked up.

Instead of rewinding to a few seconds, he accidently rewinded time a bit too much.

Thus, sending Goku to a certain era, where it all began.


BACK TO THE PAST – WITH GOKU – MOUNT PAOZU

Goku suddenly found himself in a random forest, confusing him. He glanced around his surroundings and began to wonder, "Huh? Where's Whis, Beerus-sama, and Supreme Kai? Where am I? How did I get here?"

Why Goku was in a random forest was anybody's guess. He began to call out, "Beerus-sama, Whis, Supreme Kai, where are you?"

No answer.

"How did I even get here? The first second I witnessed Zamasu kill Gowasu, and the next, I'm here in a random forest. What happened?" Goku wondered.

"GOKU!" a voice yelled, causing Goku to jump in surprise as he heard the familiar voice and spun around to see who it was. "Chi-Chi?"

Indeed it was Chi-Chi. She seemed to be angry about something as she stormed over to her husband. "Goku! You're getting late for breakfast! Gohan and the others are waiting!"

"Breakfast? But it's afternoon. And I already had some breakfast. But sure, I don't mind having once more." Goku grinned as his stomach growled once again. But then he remembered something. "Oh wait! Have you seen Beerus-sama?"

"Beerus who? Who's that? Never heard of him." Chi-Chi said bluntly.

Goku raised an eyebrow in confusion and said, "What? What do you mean you don't know him? Did ya hit your head or somethin'?"

Chi-Chi glared at Goku and scolded, "I don't know and I don't care what you're talking about! Gohan is missing his father's company so you better spend time with your son. He will keep company while you have your breakfast?"

"But, Chi-Chi… I'm doing something important right now. You see, there's this Kaio I fought in the future and he's very strong–"

"No excuses!" Chi-Chi snapped, causing Goku to cower in fear. "Y-Yes Ma'am!" Goku trembled in fear.

With that, Chi-Chi dragged Goku towards their house. But the Saiyan was still confused about the whole situation.

However he did notice one thing…

Chi-Chi seemed to be way younger that she's supposed to be for some reason.

Goku had to whine along the way about saving the Earth from Black Goku while Chi-Chi had no idea what the hell he was talking about and just dragged him inside their home.

Goku sighed in defeat in the end and thought, "Guess I'll just have to listen to Chi-Chi and eat breakfast before I can meet up with Beerus-sama. And anyway, Zamasu has killed Gowasu. Damn… why didn't Beerus-sama do anything?"

His train of thoughts derailed when he heard a voice of a kid say, "Daddy! You're home!"

"Huh?"

Goku felt something hug his leg. He looked down and saw a boy wearing Chinese clothing and wore a hat. He seemed to be vaguely familiar for some reason.

Chi-Chi smiled and asked, "Gohan, did you finish your homework?"

Oh, this child has the same name as Gohan?

Wait…

Realization dawned on Goku's face as he finally realized what was happening. He stared at the child and said in shock, "Wait… Is that you, Gohan?!"
