Age 779, July 4, Main Timeline (Goku Black Arc)
Please note: Each timeline Zamasu goes to has no effect on the previous timeline he was in, and vice versa. They are different timelines next to each other like straight lines are beside each other, they don't affect one another.
Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, and Mai all looked up in the sky. They have tried everything remotely possible. Zamasu's presence was all over the sky, infecting it, spreading like a plague. For the first time in forever Goku wasn't his confident self. Everytime he overcame each and every obstacle that came in his way, but this was different. This was unlike any foe he ever fought. All three did everything possible. Goku felt foolish for ruining the Mafuba idea.
Just then, Goku remembered Zeno's button. He pressed it, hoping for some solution since he was so desperate. As Zeno was summoned and was blowing up the sky, our heroes jumped in the time machine and went back to the present. When Goku came back to retrieve Future Zeno and went back again to the main timeline, something evil was lurking. The sky that was once filled with Zamasu's presence was gone, but if any Ki feeling warrior was left in that area, they would have sensed it. Very faint, but it was there. Since Future Zeno was gone from this timeline, nothing was left. Tiny crumbs slowly started to piece together.
The regeneration process would take a few weeks. Zamasu was very fortunate that Zeno didn't just erase him. The entire multiverse was destroyed, and an exterior which was blue was going as far as the eye can see. There was nothing. However, since hell was destroyed, and no one else was around, a medium sized ring was floating in the space. It was the most powerful object in all the multiverse, and Future Zeno foolishly left it. It would be a mistake everyone would later regret.
Eventually, Zamasu was whole again. Goku Black however, his counterpart, was gone. Zamasu would have the ability to regenerate since he obtained that ability from a species he used to observe with Gowasu in Universe 10. When Gowasu wasn't looking or paying attention, he abstracted the DNA from one of the creatures and injected it onto himself.
Zamasu looked for what seemed like an eternity before he found the ring of the fourth dimension. He smiled in such a sinister way. It was better than the Dragonballs. He could now go forward or backwards in time however he liked within a second, and teleport anywhere he wanted. This was better than the Instant Transmission because he didn't need to focus on Ki to go where he wanted to go. He just thought it and it happened. He truly felt like a superior being. He wanted to create so many unseen timelines and destroy them, but he wanted to recruit key warriors that will aide him in his quest for his revenge against the mortals.
For a day or so he studied the ring of the fourth dimension. This ring had detailed events of everything that's occurred. Each day has manuscripts and detailed wordings on what happened during that particular day. Each recorded day in history would have a ridiculous amount of text to go through since it has each planet in the multiverse's recorded history for each day, but luckily the option to narrow his search to the specific universe and even the planet was available. He immediately searched for "Earth" and "Universe 7". He realized his arch nemesis Goku had quite he history. After reading through Goku's history and the Earth's during Goku's lifetime, a tinge of pride swept through him. He was one of the few rare villains that Goku couldn't beat. Goku had to resort to calling Zeno to beat him. He smiled. He read through the villains Goku fought and thought that perhaps they could come to his side.
He teleported to the first timeline that would be his first victim.
May 9, Age 753, Unseen Timeline 1
Zamasu arrives in a forest. He looks around and smiles. He levitates off the ground and floats in the air. He senses a few power levels and scoffs at how pathetically weak they are. He starts flying slowly, wanting to make his grand entrance.
Tenshinhan is down for the count. King Piccolo's son, Drum, was so much faster and stronger than him that it was unbelievable. If Drum was this strong, imagine how King Piccolo would be! All Tenshinhan needed was a slither of a pathway to King Piccolo so he could use his Mafuba, a technique that took King Piccolo away for centuries until Pilaf released him. However, Drum kept coming and pummeling him with brutal attacks that left the three eyed warrior completely helpless.
Eventually, Kid Goku made his entrance. King Piccolo thought that Goku was dead, and seeing how confident Goku looked made King Piccolo have a tinge of nervousness. King Piccolo was extremely paranoid, similar to Freeza. There was a reason why he had all of the fighters at the World's Martial Arts Tournament killed, it was because he didn't want anyone to challenge him; that and also the Mafuba was his biggest fear.
Zamasu watched the fight unfold from a disclosed area where no one noticed. He kept his power suppressed. He marveled at Goku simply because this kid he was watching was nowhere near anything like how he would grow up to be. The obstacles Goku went through to where he was at was admirable. When Goku was powering up for his signature punch where it would go right through King Piccolo's chest, Zamasu knew this was how King Piccolo would be killed since he read the texts of the events of his special ring at his possession. He wouldn't let that happen.
"THIS PLANET BELONGS TO NO ONE" Kid Goku screeched, he raised his fists and began putting all of his energy into that hand for his final attack. He leaped high in the air and charged for the attack.
"I'LL SQUASH YOU INSECT" King Piccolo roared, his fangs hanging from his mouth in fear, hands stretched out to protect himself , antennas drooped, and was bracing for impact.
When the two fighters were about to collide, a figure got in between them. His energy causing both Goku and King Piccolo go flying back in opposite directions.
Without a single word spoken, Zamasu teleported in front of Goku and grabbed him by the collar. "WHO ARE YOU? ARE YOU ONE OF PICCOLO'S WORKERS? LET GO OF ME, THAT HUR..." Kid Goku yelled. Before he can even finish his sentence, and with a swift chop to the neck, Zamsu chops Goku's head clean off.
Zamasu throws Goku's head close to where Tenshinhan was still lying on the dirt. The three eyed fighter can hardly contain his shock. With all of his strength, he gets up to his feet and levitates off the ground 30 feet and powers up as much energy as he could possibly muster. His life force was draining, but he didn't care. His good friend was just slaughtered by someone he never seen before. He assumed this newcomer was working for King Piccolo.
Zamasu was looking up simply smiling at Tenshinhan. Zamasu knew this ningen's power was rising, and he knew he could just slaughter him before he got a chance to launch his attack, but Zamasu found it amusing and let it happen. He loved seeing the agony and pain of ningen. He never hated anything more than ningen and loved seeing them suffer. They didn't deserve the air they breathed. They were ungrateful for what the Gods did for them. They were clueless and were no better than animals. He hated seeing them reproduce. He wanted to rip their organs, go back in time a brief moment, rip their organs again, and do it many times over. As a matter of fact, he sliced Kid Goku's head off 34 times and counting as he loved rewinding it using his ring to back in time and doing it again. Of course, none of these mere mortals noticed. They only seen it once.
King Piccolo was absolutely shaking in fear. He's never seen this newcomer before. He was absolutely petrified of him though. Thinking he would be soon killed, King Piccolo quickly moved to the side away from the others. He sensed how powerful this newcomer was. His goal of taking over the world was now completely hopeless with this creature's presence. He didn't know what this creature's intentions were. He had to remain vigilant.
"TAKE THIS YOU! TRI BEAM HAAAA!" Tenshinhan roared. The blast was huge, and even King Piccolo was shocked at its magnitude. Everyone legitimately thought Zamasu was engulfed in the blast and decimated. Of course, they were in for another shock.
Zamasu teleported behind Tenshinhan before he fell from the exhaustion of the attack and grabbed the back of his neck. Zamasu pulled out his third eye and ate it, then blasted the poor warrior to smithereens. There was nothing left of him. Zamasu then quickly blasted Drum and Piano and both were quickly vaporized by the sheer power of the blast.
Zamasu then turned to King Piccolo and smirked. "Don't tell me you're not enjoying this. If you want to live, come with me. Join my army".
King Piccolo felt approximately 2 percent of Zamasu's power and felt his knees buckling. He didn't want to join this newcomer. Earth was destined to be his. It was his main goal in life. He wondered if this newcomer worked for or was associated with Kami, but he dismissed that thought given how strong Zamasu was. That old wrinkly green punk was no way involved in this.
"Ok, what do I do"?
Zamasu came close to King Piccolo and gave him some of his power. King Piccolo immediately felt incredibly strong. Zamasu wanted King Piccolo to stay on Earth and this timeline until he would return and pick him up when he finished recruiting all of the past villains and the plan was closer to being implemented. He wasn't going to be gone long, and even if he was other threats like Raditz that are due to arrive 8 years from now would now be a fly to King Piccolo now. Zamasu warned King Piccolo to never stop training. Zamasu estimated King Piccolo's power to now be around 5.4 Million. Zamasu knew that was still absolutely nothing. So he told him to train nonstop.
A few meters away, Bulma, Yamcha, Launch, Oolong and Puar were getting closer to the scene. They couldn't believe their eyes. What Yamcha told them was true. Yamcha told them that he felt Tenshinan and Goku's Ki suddenly vanish, and he felt a power so strong it was disgustingly scary. Bulma demanded them to investigate it, since she didn't believe Yamcha. Neither did the others.
Zamasu teleported behind the car and blasted it to flames. Bulma, Oolong, Puar, and Launch were instantly killed. Yamcha stepped out severely injured. His injured leg from the Bodokai tournament was even worse than before, and he had more scars all over his body. Zamasu split Yamcha into two before he knew it. Zamasu didn't want to waste anymore time.
King Piccolo knew it was futile to escape while Zamasu was killing Yamcha. Even with his new powers that Zamasu gave him, he knew he was no match for Zamasu.
"I'll be back in what would be 4 years to you. To me it would only be a few days. Destroy all ningen. Train nonstop".
Before Zamasu teleported away, he knew Kami might pose a problem. If Kami killed himself then King Piccolo would be gone as well, ruining his efforts to recruit the evil Namekian. But he also was aware that Kami knew that the events that transpired today weren't his evil counterparts doing. However, Kami also knew that Piccolo somehow now obtained incredible power, which might lead to Kami killing himself so that Piccolo won't be able to use this power. Zamasu knew he couldn't force Kami to fuse with King Piccolo since Namekian fusion required consent from both parties, so instead he decided with another option that required a visit to the Lookout.
While Mr Popo was doing some gardening work, Zamasu teleported in front of him. A quick death beam to the chest pierced the genie's heart, and he quickly died. Without a word he grabbed Kami, threw him in the air, placed a bottle and Kami was warped inside it. He then sealed the bottle into the deadzone using the ring of the fourth dimension. The guardian of Earth never saw it coming.
He then contemplated his next destination. He disliked Vegeta, and knew Vegeta operated on pride. By reading through the texts and manuscripts he learned how his foes operated. He knew Vegeta was Freeza's pet for years, so Freeza wouldn't be a good option since Vegeta was already used to that. Just then, an idea clicked, as Zamasu grinned. Vegeta would be crushed both physically and mentally if someone he knew as beneath him power all of a sudden defeated him. He then knew which year he would warp to. Before he made the time leap to another timeline, he heard the pain of ningen from the Lookout below him crying out. He knew King Piccolo began his assault on the worthless ningen and smiled. Everything so far was going according to plan.
November 3rd, Age 762, Unseen Timeline 2
Zamasu arrived in this timeline and immediately sensed that an entire city was just destroyed. As he did last time, he levitated off the ground and used his sensing abilities to see what was going on in the planet. He knew that the person responsible of destroying the city was Nappa. Nappa and Vegeta had just arrived and were already causing havoc. Zamasu also sensed the power levels of the Earth's defenders and scoffed at how weak they were; well frankly, how weak they all were. Zamasu started flying towards the battlefield slowly just like last time, his power suppressed, and waiting for the best moment to strike.
Zamasu arrived at a disclosed area away from the battlefield but could clearly see what was happening. No one of course noticed him. Without his interference thus far, the events unfolded just how they should have. The Saibamen were planted, Tenshinhan was successful in taking one down and Vegeta destroyed it for it's weakness and vulnerability. Yamcha then defeated a Saibamen but was destroyed when it grabbed him and self destructed. Krillin then killed all but one, Piccolo killed the last one.
He kept waiting and in his impatience fast forwarded three hours or so using his special ring of the fourth dimension. He smirked when he felt the Ki signatures of Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo all gone. Goku arrived and was fighting the brute Nappa. He fast forwarded some more and then panicked because Nappa was on the ground and was about to be killed by Vegeta! He couldn't allow this to happen.
As Vegeta threw Nappa in the air about to blast him to smithereens, Zamasu caught a hold of Nappa. He healed Nappa by teleporting and pick pocketing Goku's pockets to grab a senzu bean before Goku got the chance to give them to Krillin and Gohan. Zamasu gave the Senzu bean to Nappa, who was immediately healed. Without a word he then gave Nappa some of his power. Nobody watching was even processing the events unfolding since it was happening so fast.
Nappa couldn't believe it. The Zenkai boost he estimated gave him a power level of about 7000, but with the power this newcomer gave him, he now had a power level of 350 million.
"Kill Vegeta, if you want to live. Then come speak with me" Zamasu told the giant brute.
Nappa was awestruck. His mouth gaped open. His mind was racing a million miles an hour. He couldn't believe it. Just who the fuck was this guy? He could tell this newcomer was incredibly powerful. He couldn't tell what race this guy was, he's never seen his kind before, and in his older age he's traveled across the cosmos many times over, so this did surprise him too. Was this guy stronger than Freeza? Heck, was I stronger than Freeza now? He heard rumours over the years that Freeza had the ability to transform. He couldn't wait for his revenge, but felt that it was only right if his Prince was the one who had these privileges.
"And why should I listen to you? I was commander of the Saiyan army. I am an elite. Thank you for giving me such power, but instead of killing Vegeta, why don't you do the same to him what you've done for me? I've been his bodyguard since he was a kid, his father appointed me. I cannot kill him.
"He was going to kill you", Zamasu hissed. Using his ring, he showed Nappa a projector of what was about to happen had he not intervened. It showed Vegeta blasting Nappa to pieces after ruthlessly throwing him in the air. Nappa was already beaten badly by Goku. The man he devoted his life to, the man he did everything for, the man who he followed as an obligation, the man who consistently mocked him, belittled him, threatened him, yet he still put up with that bullshit loyally, just executed him in cold blood. And for what? Just because he was defeated by another Saiyan? He already defeated many of Kakarot's friends, yet Vegeta still viewed it as a disappointment. All of those travels across the galaxy, all of those purges they did together under Freeza's orders, all of that time spent together, it meant absolutely nothing to him. Vegeta knew the Saiyans were few in number, and killing him would go opposite on what he thought Vegeta desired which was preserving the Saiyan warrior race. After everything, Vegeta didn't care. Then what was the purpose of him even living? Slowly, rage entered his heart.
"I'll join you after I'm finished tearing him limb from limb" Nappa said in a low voice. Zamasu grinned. Zamasu could have easily killed Vegeta himself, but he wanted the satisfaction of what Vegeta viewed as someone beneath him actually succeed in killing him and making him suffer. That would crush Vegeta worse than anything else. In the meantime Zamasu would slaughter Goku, Gohan, and Krillin.
Vegeta himself just came back to his senses. From his point of view he threw Nappa in the air and then the next second Nappa finished talking to this green creature and descended down to him. Somehow Nappa was healed, but that was impossible without a rejuvenation tank. Vegeta's scouter was going off so much that it had exploded, making him even more alarmed.
"You're going to die by my hand. You were going to kill me and don't deny it. You can feel my power now. I've been hiding it all your life to see if you would turn on me" Nappa lied.
Vegeta was enraged. How did this buffoon get so much power? Is he really telling the truth? He had an idea that the green creature above watching them had something to do with Nappa's sudden massive indescribable increase in power. Regardless, there was no way an inferior Saiyan was going to beat him. He would simply not allow it. This was his lapdog. Freeza didn't give a fuck if Nappa lived or died, and the only reason Vegeta kept him around was to maintain his sanity to a degree because he was often lonely. Nappa was always expendable. He was inferior. Nappa was beneath the bottom of his shoe.
"I'd like to see you try and kill me Nappa, you overgrown brainless oaf" Vegeta replied.
Nappa suddenly then teleported behind Vegeta and bear hugged him. Due to Nappa's sheer size and strength, he began to overwhelm Vegeta. One punch from Nappa to Vegeta's mouth immediately shattered all of his teeth and the Prince began chocking on the broken teeth. Not only that, but Nappa's hold on Vegeta tightened, so much so that he began to feel his bones being crushed. Vegeta felt his shoulders pop out of place first, then his ribs and chest being broken made it hard to breathe. He literally felt like all of the energy he had was zapped out of his body. Vegeta tried to scream in agony but began chocking on the broken teeth in his throat even more. He couldn't breathe. Everything started to become blurry as he was about to lose consciousness.
Zamasu grinned. He loved watching this. He loved seeing Vegeta's agony. That ningen was getting what was coming to him. How dare he try to defy the Gods? He was going to ensure he suffered mentally, which was why he had Nappa go and kill him in the first place. Zamasu then turned to Goku, Gohan, and Krillin.
Gohan and Krillin stepped back in fear but Goku confidently walked a few steps ahead. His training with King Kai made him stronger than he's ever been before.
"Who are you"?
No response
"I said, who are you? Are you here to harm us? If you are, leave this planet and never come back".
Zamasu then used his finger to control Gohan and Krillin, who were a few meters behind Goku. They immediately were in the air without their will, and they were blasted into smithereens similar to how Freeza killed Krillin on Namek. It happened so fast Goku didn't have time to react.
Zamasu purposely killed Gohan and Krillin first. He knew that Goku would be furious and try to attack. He wanted Goku to attack so he can crush him, and with Goku knowing he couldn't avenge his son and best friend, that would be a serious blow to Goku's psyche. Zamasu was a twisted fuck.
Goku powered up to his maximum, and with a deafening battle cry, screamed "KAO KEN TIMES 10"! a huge flash of red aura was around him as he attacked Zamasu with all his might with a powerful Kamehameha Wave.
Zamasu took the hit head on with no damage of course. Goku was panting heavily like a dog, completely exhausted. He gave everything he had in that shot. Zamasu teleported in front of Goku and ruthlessly punched his gut. Zamasu grinned when he noticed the punch was so hard as he dug deeper into Goku's gut he felt nothing but air. He looked down to see a hole through Goku's stomach. Goku's eyes were immediately lifeless. Just for pleasure, Zamasu used his ring to go back and forth during that short sequence of fighting to kill Goku over 50 times. He hated that ningen that bad.
Once satisfied, Zamasu turned to Nappa's progress. Vegeta was now lifeless. Nappa bear hugged him to death. Nappa crushed his internal organs. What a painful way to die. Nappa released Vegeta's corpse as it fell to the ground.
"Your power is at 350 million right now. Pretty weak. Destroy all ningen. Train non stop. There's a place that floats on top of the Earth where you can get a whole year's training done in a single day".
Nappa was astounded and conflicted. He felt guilty about killing Vegeta, the boy he watched grow into a man. But he felt justified since the Prince was going to kill him. "Yes sir", he responded.
"'I'll be right back" Zamasu said. Zamasu teleported to Kame House. He couldn't let these worthless scum ningen live. Without a word he raised his hand to the sky and decimated the Kame House, killing everyone inside which included: Master Roshi, Fortuneteller Baba, Bulma, Oolong, Puar, and Turtle.
His main reason of killing the support system of Earth's heroes was that he didn't want Bulma to live. Bulma was the one responsible for creating the time machine, and although Trunks would never be born in this specific timeline due to Vegeta's death earlier, the Time Machine could create more problems that Zamasu simply didn't need. The others were no threat to him sure, but he liked seeing ningen suffer. For his pleasure he replayed this 20 or so times. For good measure Zamasu then teleported to Capsule Corporation and blew it to smithereens too. He couldn't afford to have Bulma's parents, Dr Briefs and Mrs Briefs, create a time machine as well. He knew they never did as far as he knew but he didn't want to take that chance. Then suddenly he remembered something that made him growl in anger.
In the previous unseen timeline he visited where he recruited King Piccolo to join his army, he made sure Bulma was dead when he destroyed the vehicle she was in and all of her friends. However, he left Capsule Corporation unscathed. He was now worried that Bulma's father might make a time machine eventually. Well, a simple trip back that timeline can fix that little problem.
Then he remembered Cell, a being who was supposed to appear not too far in the future. Zamasu glanced at his texts/wordings, found the date of May 12, Age 767, as the day the Z fighters fought the Androids. Also during that day they found the location of Gero's lab. The ring had coordinates to it. Zamasu then knew where to look and teleported there. He found the old Dr Gero entering it, and, without a word, chopped the Doctor's head clean off. Then he levitated off the ground and threw a single Ki Blast, decimating the lab and everything inside it including the basement.
Zamasu's intentions were to only recruit Nappa from this timeline. Cell would be his next target, but that would be in another timeline, likely his next time leap. Zamasu wanted to recruit Cell in his perfect form. If Imperfect Cell came from another timeline into this one like the original story deduced, Nappa would have no problem taking him down by then.
Zamasu knew that Freeza was headed to Planet Namek to get the Dragonballs there to become immortal. He didn't care about that. This ring was powerful enough to cast away Freeza into the deadzone and put him in a bottle just like what happened to Kami. Besides, he knew the Namekians would never give the password out to Freeza even if it killed them, and Freeza would need a Namekian to summon Parunga in their language and the wish had to be made in Namekian. As far as Zamasu knew, no one in Freeza's galactic army was Namekian, none of them traveled there, and even if Freeza overcame the odds, immortal or not; he was no threat. All Zamasu wanted to recruit from this timeline was a powerful Nappa to fight Main timeline Vegeta.
Zamasu didn't want Freeza since Freeza was harder to control. Harder to trust. Freeza was expendable. Nappa was used to following orders, and King Piccolo was an ant compared to Zamasu in power that he was forced to obey. If Freeza dared show his face in this timeline when he got back he would ensure Freeza suffered beyond belief; immortal or not.
What did concern Zamasu was Freeza invading the Earth eventually, or Future Trunks arriving from another timeline to warn the Z fighters of the upcoming Android threat. Hopefully by then the humans would be extinct or close to it. Zamasu knew even now that Nappa was strong enough to destroy Freeza with ease, along with his army of the Ginyu Force and his soldiers would be easy to beat, but if King Cold or Cooler joined him, that might pose a problem. It was unlikely Freeza would do that since he still believes the Saiyans are alive and are no threat to him, but that was still a possibility since he might want to punish them for treason. A more pressing concern was Future Trunks, who was in for a shocking revelation to find none of the Z fighters alive, might pose a bigger threat to Nappa. There wasn't time to waste. Zamasu teleported back to where Nappa was then teleported to the Lookout.
"Go now into the room of spirit and time", Zamasu lead Nappa there.
"I'll be gone for 2 years. What a year is to you will only be a couple days for me. In August Age 764 a powerful Saiyan will appear. When you come out of the chamber you must be a Super Saiyan. You have two years to train. Make use of it. After you defeat this Saiyan you will join my army. There will be a massive invasion the likes of which you haven't seen. You're far to weak to make a difference now, but train these next two years. While training, destroy all ningen. Then I'll take you to a deity and force them to train you" Zamasu explained.
The door closed and they were in different dimensions, yet just a door apart. My Popo stood there. absolutely frightened. It felt like 5 minutes ago he killed the poor genie. But that was in another timeline. Zamasu knew Kami wouldn't be there since Piccolo died saving Gohan earlier that day.
Zamasu threatened Mr Popo to make the Time Chamber have unlimited access. Zamasu knew the two day limit wasn't going to be enough. Zamasu vowed to return in two years, and if Popo didn't fix that little problem he would be severely killed.
Zamasu wanted to bring back Goku Black, his counterpart from another timeline. However, he had to wait. That was a part of his plan, but he needed to complete two more recruiting/destroying missions before he would do that.
Deja Vu set in as Zamasu found himself standing on the Lookout looking below once again. All of Earth's heroes were gone from this timeline. Everyone who threatened him. Before he teleported to his next timeline he leaped into the air, threw a large Ki Blast into the ground below. He stood there smirking for a minute or so, then heard a loud explosion, could see the smoke down below, and the cries of its inhabitants. His smirk grew to a big grin. He loved seeing destruction. He loved seeing them suffer. As he was teleporting to the next unseen timeline he uttered words like a song in his head...
"Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Kill. Murder...All Ningen"
End of Chapter 3
Thanks for reading. I know it was dark, but I couldn't imagine it any different with Zamasu. I'm not sure if I should continue since this story isn't generating much interest or reviews. I only have 1 review. Let me know how I can improve guys. This is for your entertainment.
If I decide to continue the next chapter will focus back to our heroes training for the big invasion in the main timeline.
