The tournament continued with four boring battles which

we might as well skip: Nail crushed Recoome, U12 Trunks

crushed Coola, our Vegeta crushed the primitive one from

Universe 10 and U18 Pan crushed her grandfather, U10

Bardock (with Uub saying 'lucky bastard' in his head when

the former was trying to hug the latter in a not so two

sided family moment).

And now, the announcer declares the beginning of the

next match: 'Kakarrot, from Universe 13, versus Kat, from

Universe 6.'

'Kakarrot is going to win,' U18 Vegeta states in the stands.

'Are you sure, dad?' Trunks asks.

'As sure as I am that Salagir created this Kat character

merely for fanservice/fapping reasons,' Vegeta answers.

Then he turns to his daughter: 'Bra, stop talking at your

cellphone and watch a match for a change.'

Bra replies to him with all the respect that a well mannered

girl shows to her father: 'Fuck off, dickhead.'

Vegeta sighs.

'How does she talk to her friends anyway?' Trunks wonders.

'They're not even in the same universe anymore.'

Vegeta is about to answer, but his voice is concealed by

Bra's scream: 'SHE WAS WEARING WHAT NOW? O-M-G!'


Meanwhile, in a Nickelodeon universe...

Two teenage girls are lying at their living room's couch,

seemingly bored, and watching this fanfic on TV. Suddenly,

the one with red hair jumps to her feet: 'Sam! Did you

hear that? The announcer spoke my name. I have to go

and fight Kakarrot!'

'No, dimwit,' Sam, the blonde girl, sighs. 'That is a different

Kat.'

'Aww,' Cat moans in disappointment and sits down again.


Kakarrot is pummeling Kat, the hot brunette from

Universe 6.

'I give up,' the poor girl manages to stutter among

blows received. However, this doesn't make Goku's

psychotic version stop hitting her.

Suddenly, the Vegeta from his universe grabs his arm.

'Touch her again and we're all disqualified,' he says

sternly.

At Universe 18 balcony, everybody seems angry with

this version of Goku.

'What an asshole,' Gohan says.

'I hate him,' Pan says.

'I'm so glad that, in our universe, he hit his head and

transformed into a totally different person,' Goten says.

'He did not turn into a different person. He is the same

person, either you like it or not!' a female voice is heard.

'BRA?' everyone exclaims.

They're surprised. Usually, the half Saiyaness from Universe

18 is interested only in boys and fashion. But now her

expression is something no one recalls having ever seen

on her face.

'How can you all be so judgemental to that lost soul?' she

continues. 'Up to a certain point, his universe and ours

were exactly the same, meaning that, under the same

circumstances, our Goku, the one you all guys have come

to adore, would have done the same stuff as him. Is it

his fault that he wasn't as lucky as our Goku? Lucky enough

to get rid, through a head bump accident, of all poison

his mother poured into his childhood's soul?'

Bra tears up, turns around and walks away, mumbling

something like: 'Is there really such a thing as free will?

Or are we what circumstances turn us into?'

'Bra...' Gohan whispers, dumbfounded.


Later, U18 Goku approaches Bra, scratching his head, the

one he hit so long ago. 'I didn't really understand what

made you sad, my rival's daughter,' he says. 'But take

this.' He offers her a slice of bacon.

'How is this going to help?' Bra asks, blowing her nose.

'Dunno,' Goku admits jollily. 'But bacon always makes

everything better.'


Meanwhile, in another Nickelodeon universe...

Robot and Monster are sitting at a table, eating a plate

full of bacon. 'At last, someone gets it!' they cry in unison.
