A/N: Hello, all. Now comes the second part of the Universe War. Sadly, Akamu won't go up against the Goku that is currently in the world of the kais, but he and his army will soon face him soon enough. As for who will be included, you'll have to read on and see for yourselves. Some of you may recognize them, some of you may not, but either way, you'll see them make their marks. Enjoy. :)

In Beerus' tree castle, he picked up one of the treats that Goku offered him, popped one in his mouth and quickly grew elated as he opened his eyes widely and wiggled his ears excitedly before it showed Goku reappearing with the Grand Minister to greet Grand Zeno and Sen.
"Previously on 'Dragon Ball Super', Goku reminded everyone of an ultimate tournament between universe which Grand Zeno had proposed some time ago."
So, what's going on with that? 'Cause I'm kinda getting tired of waiting."
Then, Grand Zeno spoke to him.
"You don't have to worry. Senny and I were just talking about that and we made some changes to it."
"Really? You did?"
"Mm-hmm!"
That made Goku become giddy as they had just resolved the issue.
"Oh, man, this is gonna be great! Thank you, guys! You guys are the best! I can guarantee it's gonna be super exciting!"
"And so, the epic contest was put into motion, and the Omni-King's Grand Minister was sent to announce the details."
The Grand Minister then pulled out a scroll made by Grand Zeno and the Omni-King.
"I shall now read the joint royal decree of his majesty, the Omni-King. On day 3,135,500,603 of the Royal Calendar, at precisely 1:57 o'clock, the Tournament of Power shall commence in all its glory! 15 warriors from each universe shall engage in epic combat."
Beerus grew very confused at the numbers of it.
"So, now we have to look for 15?"
Goku, on the other hand, was more excited about the Tournament of Power.
"The Tournament of Power, huh? Aw, yes! My heart's really pumping now!"
"But in the far expanse of the universe, a foe that once tried to overthrow Grand Zeno returns with great vengeance."
"At long last... I walk in my realm again..."
"The Antikami's second coming becomes inevitable, now!"

In the Demon Realm, Akamu stood in front of the smiling Towa and Dabura as he spoke to them.
"Who, dare I ask, are you that has freed me?"
Dabura then knelt down as he placed his hand on his chest.
"I am Dabura, King of the Demon Realm, my liege. My sister, Towa, and I have used the Dark Dragon Balls to release you from your spacial prison, all in the hopes of leading the Demon Realm to greatness once again."
As Akamu looked at the two, Dabura spoke onward.
"So, our great lord and master, what are your orders?"
Akamu smiled at his words before he answered.
"We have important errands to do."
Dabura looked up to him in confusion before he asked.
"Such as?"
"In the time I've spent in my prison, I have watched over the affairs of the multiverse, past, present, and future. Before anything else, we must gather an army through time and ensure that Grand Zeno's reign shall end."
Then, Demigra's voice spoke up.
"Oh, funny you should mention this."
With that, Demigra, Roberu, his secretary, and surprisingly the Western Supreme Kai came into view as he spoke on.
"I just happen to know where we could start."
Demigra then chuckled as his eyes glowed red.

Far away in the cosmos, on a planet comprised of countless others bound in chains, Fu sat in a computer room and watched on the monitor as fighters from different timelines that have broken the laws of the universe, such as mortal consumption of the Fruit of the Tree of Might, time travel, et cetera, clashed with each other in order to obtain all seven Dragon Balls to escape what's known as the Prison Planet. Since his time with Goku and the others, he's decided to use his energy to imprison those who would cause the multiverse great stress in the future and put them against one another in hopes of escape. Fu was recently seeing a battle with Cooler against Bojack and his crew as he decimated most of them with his Destructive Ray attack that shot lasers from his eyes, leaving only Bojack and Zangya to face him.
"And you Herans call yourselves the mightiest in the universe? How disappointing."
Bojack glared at him with a smirk before he spoke.
"Don't think this is the limit of my power."
With that, he unleashed a dark green aura around him as he yelled out, his hair becoming spoiler and his skin color gaining a light tint as Cooler stood unimpressed.
"Hmph. Is that what passes for strength now? I'll show you mine."
Then, Cooler tensed his hands as his muscles expanded themselves and his bio armor grew taller as he developed a bio helmet around his head before the mask came over his mouth.
"Behold, my true form!"
With that, Cooler darted toward Bojack as the opponent did the same, resulting in a spectacular clash that sent shockwaves throughout the area, all the while with Fu getting giddy.
"Aw, yeah! That's what I like to see!"
Suddenly, Fu heard a beeping noise on the monitor before he pushed a button and speaking into it.
"Yeah, who is it?"
Suddenly, Chronoa's face came into view before she shouted in a panic, forcing Fu to cover his ears.
"Thank goodness you've answered! He's back!"
As soon as his ears recovered, he spoke to Chronoa and tried to get to the heart of the matter.
"Okay, okay, okay! Simmer down, now. Who's back?"
As an answer, Chronoa responded with terror in her voice.
"It's Akamu the Antikami."
Play Super Music: "Humiliating Defeat"
This made Fu give a shocked gasp before he put on a serious look and spoke to her.
"How can something like that be possible? The guy's supposed to be dead, right?"
Just then, a different version of Goku appeared in the monitor as he wore a red sleeveless jacket with a Power Pole on his back and a black shirt in his jacket tied up with a blue belt before he spoke.
"Well, you're not wrong. But we just found out that Towa and Dabura gathered the Dark Dragon Balls that scattered through time and space. That's how the guy came back."
Fu sighed exaggeratedly before he responded to them.
"Don't worry, guys. I'm gonna find some strong guys who'll give that creep a run for his money."
The other Goku then spoke to Fu as Chronoa started hyperventilating.
"Great. The Time Patrol will help out, too. Just as soon as Chronoa's calmed down."
With that, Fu turned off the monitor before he teleported to a lava prison where a Saiyan with long, spiky, black hair, a mask, and a straightjacket was held before Fu appeared there.
"Hey, Cumber! How you doing? Look, I've got some news that may be interesting for you."
Cumber only stood still unmoving as Fu spoke on.
"Okay, listen. We've got someone really bad named Akamu trying to take over the multiverse. We need your help to stop him."
Cumber only continued to sit still until Fu spoke again.
"Oh, and I might have a Saiyan that can give you a real challenge in store for you if you help."
That made Cumber open his red eyes and speak to Fu.
"Very well. I will help. But if you're lying about giving me a Saiyan who can challenge me, I will make you wish for death before I'm done."
"You kidding, pal? Why would I lie with the multiverse at stake, right?"
With that, Fu used his sword to release Cumber from his straightjacket before the Saiyan growled as he exerted a dark red aura all over him.
Far away, Cooler had just defeated Bojack and Zangya was nowhere to be seen as he stood atop his corpse.
"Hmm... now where did that girl run off to?"
Just then, Fu and Cumber teleported to Cooler before the former spoke.
"Hey, Cooler!"
"What now?"
"We've got a mission to do. This time, the whole multiverse is at stake."
That caught his attention as Cooler widened his eyes before they shrunk back down to normal size.
"Fine. I suppose I have no choice."
End Super Music: "Humiliating Defeat"
At Universe 10, Goku and Kari were getting curious about how it'll work.
"So, where would this 'Tournament of Power' take place?"
"Somewhere awesome, right?"
"It is a special place, indeed. The Null Realm."
Goku thought the name to be confusing.
"The Null Realm?"
Then, Zamasu looked up to Goku.
"It's a world of infinite emptiness, where not even time or space exist."
"Since literally nothing's in the Null Realm, there's nothing to break. Thus, you'll be free to fight as vigorously as you like. Also, as for the tournament you held between the 6th and the 7th, the ultimate champion of our competition will be awarded the Super Dragon Balls, which will grant whatever wish is desired."
"They have already been gathered in preparation of this grand event."
Kari grew surprised about the Super Dragon Balls before Champa was revealed to be sitting at the table.
"Already? In such a short time?"
"Yes, that's right. And in case you're wondering, he got three of them from me!"
This made Beerus twitch in anger.
"Blast that Champa! Do you mean you've been collecting them once again?"
Then, Gowasu decided to ask him.
"I beg your pardon, but what prize does the champion's home universe receive?"
That part made Beerus smile before the Grand Minister gave an answer.
"They go on."
"Uh, what? Like, go on stage?"
"No, no. They get to go on as before and will supervise any losing universe of their choice before they choose their wish."
This didn't make any sense to Goku.
"Wait, how's that a prize? I'm confused."
"You're jumping the gun. Grand Zeno intended for this announcement to come later, but due to your friendship with the Omni-King, Goku, I guess I'll make an exception. It is a prize by its contrast, for the universes that don't win shall be eliminated."
As Kari and Zamasu gasped, Beerus stood up.
"Uh, could you repeat that?"
"It's simple. All of the defeated universes will be promptly wiped from existence. Grand Zeno will see to it personally."
Goku panicked at the thought.
"The whole universe? WIPED OUT?!"
"Yes. And the winning universe that survives shall select any one defeated universe for supervision."
This followed by a shocked look from the Supreme Kais, Kibito, Kari, and Zamasu while earning a whine from the infant Sen, to which Kari had to attend to.
"Oh, hang on, Sen. It's okay."
"Oh, and Goku. There's one more thing. The Omni-King has a favor to ask of you in the meantime."
Beerus gulped nervously before Goku spoke.
"What's the favor?"
"A show. He'd like to have some fighters from the 7th, yourself included, going up against champions from the 6th. Think of it as a warm-up act before the main show begins. You see, the Sen from the alternate future timeline did not have the opportunity to witness your matches against Universe 6. Thus, she's a bit behind."
Outside the palace, Grand Zeno and Sen stood by a golden fence.
"Hey, Zenny."
"Yes, Senny?"
"What kind of power will be in the Tournament of Power?"
"The power will be fighting power."
"How does it work?"
"Want to see?"
"Mm-Hmm! Of course, I do! Oh, but we can't just erase them so soon. If they do something bad and mean, then maybe it's okay. But we should at least give the other universes a chance to be better than before, shouldn't we?"
"Sure. We can do that."
"What's needed is a demonstration. Our Omni-King wants to bring her up to speed, and build excitement in them both for the upcoming tournament proper. To that end, we'd like you to take part in these runner-up matches, which is what we are calling the Zeno Expo."
This made Supreme Kai curious.
"A fight before the fights? Really?"
Goku, however, seemed up to it.
"Sounds great! So, who am I gonna get to take on? Is it Hit?"
"Well, that remains to be seen, but as I said, it will be someone from the 6th. You have exactly one hour from now to gather two other worthy participants, then present yourselves at Grand Zeno's palace. See you then."
With that, the Grand Minister flew up and then disappeared via portal before Beerus sighed in relief. The Supreme Kai, however, was confused at their situation.
"That's odd. Why'd they choose Universe 6?"
Kibito then spoke to his companion.
"I agree, that's an intriguing question, sir, but I would say that's the least of our concerns at the moment."
Goku, despite the situation, was still amped up.
"Three of us get to fight in this one, huh? I wonder if I get to fight Hit in this? If not him, then who else?"
Beerus was still stuck on the threatening part of the debacle as he retorted at Goku in a frenzy.
"How can you be so glib about this, Saiyan?!"
Play Super Music: "Regret"
Receiving no answer, Beerus stepped back from Goku as he crossed his arms.
"You're hopeless. Do you have any comprehension of what this stunt you've pulled is going to do to the cosmos? Just because you wanted a workout?"
The Supreme Kai supported Beerus in the seriousness of the situation.
"He's right. Imagine for a moment if the whole 7th universe is plucked from existence. I could never forgive myself, and now, all the universes face the same threat."
Goku tried to think of a way to reverse it.
"Wait! So, should I go ask Zenny not to pluck the 7th Universe and obliterate it from existence?"
Whis, however, knew very well it wouldn't work.
"Though your intentions are good, I must advise against that. The Omni-King and Grand Minister May seem amiable, but even with Sen's input, they don't like descent. If you criticize their plan, they might destroy our universe to prove a point, just like Grand Zeno erased Universe 13."
"Ahh! That's terrible. What do we do?"
Zamasu growled at Goku before speaking his mind.
"You're a bit late realizing that now. And don't think your so-called friendship with Grand Zeno will save you, mortal. You are a temporary plaything, a bauble to be cast aside. If you lose and are not selected by the winning universe, he won't hesitate to obliterate you, along with the rest of the 7th. Their deaths will be on your head!"
"I know, I know! But I didn't expect it to turn out like this. This is insane!"
"That's irrelevant. You'll still pay the price!"
"Pay what price?!"
"USE YOUR HEAD AND FIGURE IT OUT FOR ONCE, YOU DULLARD SAIYAN!"
End Super Music: "Regret"
This made Kari open her eyes and exert her energy all over the planet as Zamasu did before in disgust when he first visited as she shouted.
"Enough!"
Zamasu and Goku turned to the flustered Kari as she held Sen and spoke.
Play Super Music: "A Desperate Plan"
"This situation is the last thing any of us wants to go through, I know. But placing the blame isn't going to fix this. Besides, I've figured this whole mess out. As long as one of us uses the Super Dragon Balls to restore the erased universes, everything should be alright."
Zamasu, still shaken by the announcement, had his faith shaken.
"And if we don't win? What then?"
Kari only looked at Zamasu with a fierce look.
"We have to."
As Zamasu grew stunned by her determination, Goku spoke up.
"Fine! I don't care who I fight. All I know is I have to win this tournament. No matter what!"
Gowasu gave his two cents before Elder Kai spoke.
"Agreed. But declaration alone won't be able to solve this dilemma. We must gather the strongest warriors not only in strength but in sound principle."
"Indeed. As awful as this is, we have no choice but to play along. First, we need to build the team for this Expo, then we can worry about finding at least 10 for the Tournament after that."
"Right. Well, I'll take one spot."
Beerus then shouted at Goku in anger.
"Yes, we know! Moron, now find two more! It's your mess to fix, so GOOOOOOOOO!"

In the alternate timeline's world of the Kais, Vegetto was doing push-ups with Towa sitting on him as she read a book before a dark portal opened up to reveal Fu, causing Vegetto and Towa to become surprised before the latter got up and ran over to him to give him a hug.
"It's good to see you again."
Vegetto smirked at this before he spoke.
"Well, looks like someone's a mamma's boy."
Fu glared at Vegetto as he retaliated verbally.
"Hey!"
Then, Towa asked him about the occasion.
"So, what brought you here?"
"Well, as much as I like getting a hug from a version of you that isn't trying to sow chaos, I've actually got bad news. The Antikami I told you about? Well, he's just been brought back to the present timeline with the Dark Dragon Balls."
With that, Vegetto grinned before standing up and speaking.
"Say no more, Fu, because I'm in."
Then he chuckled darkly before he spoke to him again.
"And this time, I will defeat him for good."
That made Fu give a grin of his own before he spoke.
"That's what I like to hear!"
Then, he turned to his mother.
"Do you think you can help?"
"I'll try. But first... Mira!"
Far away, Fu noticed Elder Kai doing push-ups as Mira watched.
"I don't understand how you youngin's do this! I'm not as vibrant as I used to be!"
Then, Mira turned to see Towa calling him.
"'ll need your help on this! Can you come with me?"
"And what about this oaf?"
"You can let him off the hook for now. But if he tries to do anything lewd again, I won't be so generous.
Then, he scoffed with a smirk before turning to Elder Kai.
"Your punishment has ended. For now."
Then, as Elder Kai fell to the floor, Fu and Vegetto laughed at his shortcoming.
Just then, another portal opened in the future Trunks resided from before Fu, Cooler, Vegetto, Towa, and Mira came through it to see the city being downsized to accommodate for nature's roots as the grassy terrain overcame most buildings. The children in the buildings played around with the grassy plain, using it as a slide to get out of the buildings as they smiled while the adults worked to better themselves and provide a better way of life as the future Jiren gave his support before Vegetto spoke to Jiren.
"Well, well. Long time no see."
Jiren turned to notice him and had a theory.
"I take it you need help?"
"Yeah. Akamu's apparently at it again. I figured you'd want in."
Jiren then smiled at Vegetto before speaking to him.
"I admit it is preferable to fight alongside you than against you. But if you don't mind my asking, why do you wear a similar uniform as I do?"
Then, Vegetto looked at his uniform which sported a red shirt over his black undershirt with white gloves and boots before grinning at Jiren.
"Well, Since you look so good in red and black, I don't see why I shouldn't try it either."
Then, Jiren chuckled at his words before he and Fu spoke.
"It suits you."
"Yeah, I agree."
Then, Vegetto spoke up to Jiren.
"Don't think this is over between us, though. Once this is over, I'm planning on fighting you next."
Jiren put on a smirk of his own toward Vegetto before he spoke.
"I won't lose this time."
Then, Cumber stepped forward and spoke.
"Don't forget that you're going to fight me, too. Fu promised me a good fight with a Saiyan. And I'm planning to get one."
"Don't worry about that, tall, dark, and ugly. Because I'm planning on taking you all one by one."
Then, Cooler took a look at the reinforcements and knew they were enough.
"Now, it's best to move along. We've wasted enough time as is."
"Yep. We pretty much got everyone we need anyway."
With that, Fu opened the portal again before the group all went into it and disappeared.
At the present, Goku had asked Black to participate in the Zeno Expo.
"So, you're asking me to fight with you in order to fix a mistake like the Tournament of Power that you made?"
"Yeah, of course! We could really use your help."
"I take it Vegeta and Trunks passed up the offer?"
That made Goku surprised by his guess.
"Whoa! How'd you know?"
"Did you even tell them the risk?"
"No. I don't think they take it well. I've already been laid into by Supreme Kai and Lord Beerus."
"Good. The less people who know about this 'Tournament of Power', the better."
Unfortunately for Black, Sareta only heard the word 'Tournament' as he spoke on.
"A tournament?"
"Anyway, I'm flattered you'd ask for my help, but I'm afraid I cannot help you either."
"What? Don't tell me you're getting a kid, too?"
"What do you think?"
Just then, Sareta spoke up as she walked over to the two.
"Honey, it's okay. You can go with him."
That made Black blanch while Goku smiled.
"But— Our child—"
"Is still gonna be in my belly by the time you get back. Just go. Tenshi can look after me while you go on, okay?"
Black didn't want to take any risk missing the birth of his child, but also knew better than to refuse Sareta's request.
"Okay. But if our Sen is being born, inform me immediately, got it?"
Sareta giggled at Black with a smirk.
"Sure thing, Mr. overprotective."
"What?"
As Black took offense to that comment Sareta laughed before Goku and Black took off just as Tenshi arrived.
"Hey, Sareta! I've got something for you!"
Sareta smiled as she was given a bag from Tenshi.
"Oh, thanks. You shouldn't have."
Later after that, Goku and Black scanned the area for another's energy signal.
"Come on. Where is she?"
Just then, Black noticed a pink clay house in the forest by a river before they landed just as 21 and Artich came out the door. Artich was wearing a red shirt and blue shorts while 21 was wearing a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with her white baggy pants on before they noticed the two of them as she spoke.
"Hey, Goku. What's up?"
"Hey, 21. How's it feel being hitched?"
"Oh, just wonderful. It was hard work putting our kids to bed, but it was all worth it to see their smiling faces."
Goku caught onto that and got surprised.
"Wait, what?! You have kids already?! But it's only been three months!"
"I guess my Majin cells made their birth go much faster."
"Yep. Anyway, what brings you here?"
Then, as Goku stammered in shock, Black walked up and spoke to them.
"We need your help for the Zeno Expo."
21 blinked her eyes in confusion as she spoke.
"Huh? The Zeno Expo?"

Meanwhile, on Planet Potafeu, the Trunks that served Chronoa, or Xeno Trunks, was suddenly blown back by a red attack before an Arcosian with dark green skin, blue plates on his bio armor, red swirls as markings, and three sets of horns atop his long head known as Ize and a Saiyan with white hair, two black spikes in the hair, a red outline under his eyes, Black coal eyes, green Gi, and black shoes known as Xicor then came to the floor as Demigra smiled while Akamu inquired of him.
"What process is this?"
"Why, the most beneficial of all. Recently, we've put this planet to work once I've harnessed my Demon God Powers to warp space and time to speed up their three years of training. Thanks to that, they're beyond even the powers of Super Saiyan Azure."
Towa smiled at this before she spoke to Demigra.
"And who would've thought that Trunks would be the key to fulfilling that end?"
Suddenly, Ize and Xicor darted toward them before dropping Xeno Trunks to the floor in front of Akamu before the latter of the two spoke to the lad.
"To think you can't even follow my movements with your eyes and call yourself a Saiyan."
Then, Akamu spoke down to Trunks with as he showed two rings on his finger, one being dark red and the other being blue.
"I know what it's like to lose. To know so desperately that you're right, only to fail nonetheless. And I ask you to what end? You dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here. Or should I say... I am."
Just then, Xeno Goku spoke up to him.
"Looks like I found you."
Akamu gave a dark grin from hearing this as he stood up and turned to Xeno Goku.
"So you have. Now, what do you intend to do on your own?"
Then, Xeno Goku gave a smile of his own before Fu, Cooler, Cumber, Vegetto, Jiren, the other Towa, and the other Mira appeared behind him before he spoke.
"You were saying?"
Akamu then smiled at him eagerly as his two rings glowed.

Meanwhile, at the world of the Kais in the 7th universe, Black and 21, who is now in her Majin form made evident by her tail, stood in single file as Beerus looked over them.
"I can understand Black, but this is the best you could do? Can 21 even fight?"
21 felt a bit offended by that, but replied back matter-of-factly.
"Actually, Artich and I tend to practice while the kids watch us. He's really helped me to get stronger since the battle for Trunks' future."
Black felt confused considering his current scan on her energy, but then again, she could be masking and/or conserving it.
"Is that right?"
As 21 nodded back to him, Beerus leaned over to Goku.
"So Goku, do these people know what will happen if we lose the main tournament?"
"Only Black does. He said we shouldn't tell anyone else since it would cause a big panic and make things worse. Is that right?"
"Well, he's assessed the situation well, at least I can say that."
Then, Supreme Kai spoke as he raised his finger.
"Well, let's not keep the Omni-King waiting. Kai kai!"
With that, the group teleported away to the palace of Grand Zeno where 21 grew interested in it.
"Whoa. What is that?"
Supreme Kai answered her inquiry as she looked on in awe.
"The palace of Grand Zeno, ruler of the multiverse."
Play Super Music: "Solving the Mysterious Puzzle"
"No way..."
Then, Beerus turned to 21.
"We can not afford any slip ups, 21. Do not speak or move unless prompted. You hear me? Or you will regret it."
21 figured he was talking about Grand Zeno and was warning her not to displease him before she gulped and spoke.
"Yes, sir."
Then, the group walked inside the halls of Grand Zeno's palace to notice Champa, Fuwa, Vados, Caulifla, Kale, and Hit Before Supreme Kai spoke.
"Ah, noble gentlemen of the 6th. It's been too long."
Champa only gave a smirk as he looked at Beerus.
"You better watch yourself this time, Brother. Because this time, I'll wipe the floor with you."
As his brother chuckled, Beerus glared at him in silence as Goku spoke to him.
"Yo! Hey, Champa! How's it goin', man?"
Black didn't think it wise to interact this way.
"Keep it to yourself, will you? They just so happened to be our competition."
"Aw, relax. It's okay. I've known Champa for a while now."
"But if you engage in such pleasantries in the presence of the Grand Minister, he will not hesitate to wipe you out no matter how amiable he is. Understood?"
"Okay. Geez. No need to be so dark."
After giving a scoff, Black noticed Kale and Caulifla, the former backing away a bit as she stammered before giving a smirk of his own.
"Hmm. I seem to remember Sareta owing one of them a favor. Perhaps I'll have to step in for her..."

Later, the two universes are present before the Grand Minister and Zeno, as well as Sen.
"Glad you could make it."
With that, Universes 6 and 7 bowed down in the following order of Caulifla, Kale, Hit, Champa, Fuwa, Vados, Beerus, Whis, Supreme Kai, Goku, Black, and 21 before the Grand Minister spoke again.
"Now then, taking a page from
Earth's martial arts tournaments, I will prepare the ring and seating for the spectators."
With that, the Grand Minister raised his hand before a white glow came from
his palm and caused the floor to act as a sort of quicksand as the two groups slowly sank into it before falling into their individual pods. Above their pods was a standard tournament ring as the Grand Minister spoke to the heavens.
"Gathered deities, please come down. Join us."
With that, the rest of Universe 1-12 arrived with their Supreme Kais, Destroyers, and Angels. Although, in Universe 11's case, they also had a figure in a black coat with a white mouth in view. As for Universe 10, Zamasu, Kari, and the younger Sen were present with Gowasu, Rumshii, the destroyer of Universe 11, and Cu, his angel. As Goku and 21 gasped in amazement Beerus growled before Whis spoke.
"All 12 universes' Supreme Kais And Destroyers. Angels, too. What a truly rare assembly."
Black looked at the scene as a red flash of his merciless onslaught played in his mind.
"To think I got rid of them all in one swipe. True, that swipe was meant to maim the Supreme Kais, but still..."
Then, the Grand Minister spoke to all.
"Loyal Supreme Kais And Destroyers of the twelve, thank you for joining us today. As I informed you earlier, we gather here to prepare for the upcoming martial arts competition which Grand Zeno has named the 'Tournament of Power'. For those who don't know, our Omni-King has a new companion. It is Sen from Universe 7 in an alternate future. Due to timeline discrepancies, that Sen has never seen a martial arts tournament. So we will remedy that with this: our Zeno Expo. Hail the Omni-King!"
With that, Zeno and Sen went down along with their guards before he spoke again.
"You humble us with your presence."
Then, as Universe 7 bowed to him, 21 noticed this and did the same. However, Goku's voice rang out to him.
"Hey! Zenny, it's me! Over here! Hi!"
21 tried to dissuade him from his usual antics to no avail.
"Uh, Goku, now's not the time for it."
However, Champa was stuck on what he called him.
"D-Did he just say Zenny?"
As Goku flew up to him, he spoke to them.
"What's up, you guys? Thanks for giving us these awesome pre-fight fights."
Black was so incredulously boiling in anger and panic that he teleported in between Sen and Goku before preparing a Black Power Ball in his hand and fired him down to his seat, causing a gust of dust to blow in that area. Then, he cursed Goku for his ridiculous manners.
"If that Saiyan had half a brain, he should've remained forever silent around him."
However, his comment didn't go unheard by the other Destroyers, Supreme Kais and Angels as Zamasu spoke in agreement.
"Yes, I'm afraid that's how Saiyans are these days."
Then, Beerus talked down to Goku as 21 looked to him.
"He'll wipe us out! I told you!"
"Wait, what was that?"
Afraid of what 21 was bound to suggest, Beerus just brushed it off before he casually whistled. Fortunately for Beerus, it wasn't for the reason he thought.
"Oh, I get it. It's because he shouldn't be speaking out of turn. In that case, you should've sat still, Goku. That was bad manners."
"Aw, come on. Why's that such a big deal?"
"Because, now, they're talking about us."
21's point was made as Basil, Sidra, and Champa spoke of them.
"What's wrong with them?"
"Do they teach them nothing in the Seventh?"
"Control your Saiyan, brother! I'd hate for it to get ugly for you!"
As the deities murmured, Caulifla and Kale looked at Black in interest before the Grand Minister raised his hand and silenced them.
"Great deities. Before we start, we should acknowledge a mortal from the 7th whose enthusiasm helped set this all in motion. Without him, we wouldn't have gathered here today. Would you care to speak, Saiyan?"
"Sure!"
Seeing his cue, Goku stepped up onto the stage before speaking proudly.
"I'm Goku, and I heard the universes had strong fighters I didn't know about, so I said to Zenny, 'it would be great to fight all those guys', and he was nice enough to set it all up! "
Then, Sen and Grand Zeno spoke up to him with the latter speaking first.
"Thank you, Goku."
"You give them a good fight, Goku!"
"You got it, guys. I guarantee you it's gonna be amazing!"
Then, the Grand Minister took his turn to speak.
"Thank you, Goku. Now, then, let's get to the particulars. In keeping with our Omni-King's wishes, this Zeno Expo will be comprised of successive one-on-one matches between three martial artists from the 7th Universe and three from the 6th. These contests will have no time limits. Each match will go on until one opponent declares defeat or is rendered incapable of continuing. Combatants are allowed and expected to use all powers they have in pursuit of victory."
Then, Fuwa spoke to him about a matter of victory.
"I have a question, Grand Minister. What exactly is the prize held at this Expo?"
"The only point of this Expo is to show the appeal of martial arts to his majesty's esteemed compatriots from the future. It's not intended to judge these universes, so there is no reward. Though, that is not to suggest these matches are without consequence. If he feels that your fighters don't live up to the task, he may take drastic measures."
Then, Champa and Fuwa gave a shocked gasp before the former spoke.
"So, what you're saying is that if he's bored, we'll be booted from existence?!"
"All I can say with accuracy is those possibilities do exist. It all depends on the whim of the Omni-King. Now, let's get on with the Expo! Our first two contestants, please enter the ring!"
Then, as he rose up, Caulifla spoke up.
"Well, guess I'm up! Just let me handle this!"
Then, Caulifla leaped off the pod and landed on the stage, her fists at the ready as Champa spoke up.
"Now that's a can-do attitude right there! Make Universe 6 proud!"
"Yes, but please be careful, Caulifla."
"Don't worry, Kale. I got this in the bag."
Beerus thought he'd seen such confidence before.
"If that isn't Saiyan ignorance, I don't know what is."
Then, Black stood up from his seat and spoke.
"How about I take the shot? If she's the one who's fighting, I might as well do what Sareta promised she'd do."

With that, Black leapt off of the stage and into the ring as Caulifla grew interested in a fight.
"You're my opponent? You better get ready, 'cuz I'm gonna wipe the floor with you!"
"Don't count on it."
After a few moments of silence between the two, the Grand Minister then shouted out.
"Let the opening match begin!"
Then, the gong sounded before Caulifla immediately darted toward her and forced Black to block with his palms before using his black aura to wrap around her fist.
"Huh? What the—?"
Then, Black used said aura to paralyze her before chucking her away, worrying Kale.
"Oh, no!"
However, Caulifla smirked before stopping herself mid flight and retaliated with a red energy orb toward him. As Black pushed it above him, he only looked just in time to see her foot headed toward his face before Black ended up hit and knocked away before he landed on the stage and then launched himself toward Caulifla with his fists outward before she caught them and proceeded to strike each other in the guts with their knees, only to counter each other as Sen, Zeno, 21, and Goku spoke.
"Wow, they're going pretty rough out there."
"Oh, yes. Yes, they are."
"This isn't turning out as good a start as we expected."
"Nah. Saiyans from Universe 6 are insanely strong on their own. And that's without any God energy."
"I hardly find that comforting, Goku."
Just then, Caulifla and Black pushed each other away before the former laughed.
"Wow! I'm getting pumped up from fighting you! You're totally worth the effort!"
"Thanks. I appreciate that."
"So, when are you gonna teach me how to go Super Saiyan Rosé?"
"Only when you've earned it."
Then, Black got into a stance that was similar to Goku's as Caulifla got her fists ready as well before it showed Akamu with Dabura, Demigra, Roberu, Mira, Towa, Xicor, and Ize facing off against Xeno Goku with Fu, Vegetto, Jiren, Cumber, Cooler, the other Mira, and the other Towa as the two leaders smirked to each other.
As the fight between Universes 6 and 7 begins anew, an entirely different battle has begun to take place between the Time Patrol and the Demon Realm. A Tenebrious clash is sure to begin, next Dragon Ball Super!"
End Super Music: "Time to Strike Back"
A/N: There you have it! A fight between Goku Black against Caulifla. Don't worry, though. Kale will get her turn to go up against him soon. After which, 21 will fight Hit and try to adapt to his Time Skip and other various assassin techniques. And if that fails, let's just say she's got a trick up her sleeve. As for the battle on Planet Potafeu, you'll have to wait to see what happens. Although, I will tell you the voices I had in mind for Akamu's faction. Xicor, for example, will be voiced by Troy Baker while Doug Erholtz will voice Ize. And Roberu will be portrayed by Elise Baughman. That's all the info I am willing to tell you at this moment. Enjoy your week! :)
