A/N: Hello. Sorry I took so long. I had some work going on outside computers. Anyway, here's the next chapter. Enjoy: )

Chapter 7: "Field the All-7th-Universe Team!; Who Are The Mighty 15?"

First, Baby growled before firing a barrage of shockwaves at him.

"Curse you!"

As they repeatedly struck him, Goku felt as if he was being hit by Baby himself before Baby appeared behind him and kicked him to the ground before he fired purple energy cuffs at him, holding his arms and legs in place as he then began tightening the bands, earning Goku's screams of agony as Baby snickered.

"Previously on 'Dragon Ball Super'! The Zeno Expo was winding down as Baby prepared the ultimate technique that would annihilate anything in its path."

"And Baby was on the brink of victory, showing no sign of slowing down until..."

As Baby laughed, he failed to notice Jiren glaring red eyes under the hood before the black ball suddenly began to shrink instantaneously before exploding and creating a bright light, knocking him away while leaving Goku to brave the debris that flew by him.

"Jiren abruptly cancelled the fight, allowing Vegetto to set different ground rules that appeased Grand Zeno and Sen and saving the drama for the upcoming Tournament of Power."

With that, the Grand Minister spoke up.

"There has been a change in development. In alteration to Baby's terms, the Tournament of Power shall keep the losing universes intact and exempt from erasure."

"With the Universal conflict resolved, Akamu is the only one standing between them and multiversal peace, and with all of the universes against Goku, his chances were looking dim. Only 39 hours are left before the start of the massive battle royal. In order to assemble the remaining members of the 7th Universe's team for the Tournament, Goku, Black, and 21 return to Earth, now."

Back at Bulma's place on Earth, Chi-Chi was making some food out in the patio as she sang a tune to herself.

"Oh, little baby, come on out and show your bum-bum. Oh, little baby, come on out, and rub-a-tum-tum."

Suddenly, Goku, Black, 21, Beerus, Whis, Supreme Kai, and Hercule arrived before the the first of the group spoke to his wife.

"Oh, How's it goin', Chi-Chi? What's with all the food?"

"Oh, Goku, yay! You and your friends showed up just in time. Now, come and eat before it gets too cold."

"Whoa, you mean it?"

As Chi-Chi explained, the antsy Beerus sniffed the food in anticipation.

"When I heard Bulma was about to have her baby, I just panicked and started making a whole bunch of food. But now it sounds like it might be a while before she's ready."

Then, Black smiled before he spoke.

"So, Bulma's having a baby, too? What a coincidence. So am I."

Before she could speak, Black used Instant Transmission before he vanished and reappeared again with the pregnant Sareta and Tenshi before they showed looks of surprise, Tenshi being the most impressed.

"Wow! How did we get here so fast?!"

Meanwhile, Vegeta, Mai, and the older Trunks were waiting outside as the Pilaf Gang were on yoga balls with Bulma as she stretched and sang a melody.

"...your bum-bum. Oh, little baby, come on out and show your bum-bum. Oh, little baby, come on out and rub-a-tum-tum."

As they continued, Bulma spoke to her husband and son.

"Hey, guys. Sorry for taking up the training room like this."

"Yeah, you should be! Thanks to you, we're getting downright flabby here!"

"Come on, Father."

"You know it's to help her deliver the baby easier."

Trunks could make a guess that it was about more than lack of training.

"You must be worried about them, huh?"

"Yeah."

Then, Vegeta took his words back with a surprised look before he spoke contrary.

"It's not like I'm hanging around here just because I'm eager for the baby to come. I'm just here because she told me to stay."

"Yeah, so am I. But that didn't stop us from training, did it? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're just as anxious for the baby as the rest of us."

This made Vegeta shocked before he snapped.

"Don't be ridiculous! You should know better!"

This made Trunks and Mai laugh a bit before Vegeta only sighed in defeat.

Meanwhile, as Tenshi pitched in with Chi-Chi to aid in Bulma and Sareta's parental situation, Goku was eating a cooked drumstick as Beerus ate his own meal before he spoke in excitement.

"Oh, man! That's delicious! I really needed this. I haven't eaten since the fight ended."

"Just keep bringing those plates over, chop chop!"

Supreme Kai, however, was only focused on the important matter of team selection.

"Sorry to interrupt, but perhaps we should select our team first?"

"If you're gonna rush me, then pick them yourself. Although, you'd better make sure they can win."

As Beerus glared at him, the Supreme Kai has no choice but to concede.

"O-Of course."

As 21 grew flustered, Black spoke with Supreme Kai.

"How can they just sit and eat at a time like this? I can understand Goku, but it's like Lord Beerus always assumes the worst."

"So, can you tell us exactly how many inhabited worlds there are in the 7th Universe?"

"Let's see. Since Planet Sadala, Vegeta, and Namek are no longer with us, that brings the total to 28, I believe."

With that, 21 spoke her inquiry.

"Do you think anyone strong enough to compete in the Tournament of Power would be from those worlds?"

"That's difficult to say. I never observed them all from the perspective of their combat abilities."

This made Beerus make a comment behind his back before Elder Kai added his own thoughts to the situation.

"And that negligence is precisely why we're now ranked as a low-level Universe, Kai."

"Still can't believe out of 12 Universes, our average mortal level is only 2nd from the bottom. It's pitiful. There's gonna be 8 teams competing in this, right? Which means our odds of winning would only be around 12.5%, if all the universes were on equal footing. Kinda makes me wish I could get resealed in a Z-Sword."

As he laughed nervously, Black spoke to him assertively.

"Dwelling on the past certainly isn't going to help us in this circumstance. Even if you could get resealed, you'll still end up erased along with it."

"That may be, rogue one, but there's also no point in pitching a fit about it now."

"He's right, Black. There's nothing to worry about. All we gotta do is win this thing, right? Though, I can't wait to see what kinda heavy hitters'll be there."

Beerus then spoke about his personality before Black agreed.

"Your confidence is only outpaced by your nativity."

"For once we can agree, Lord Beerus."

"Considering the short window, I doubt we have the time to go world-hopping. Well, other than Supreme Kai, of course. So perhaps we should limit our recruitment efforts to Earth for now?"

21 could agree with Supreme Kai as she spoke.

"Good thinking. We can start with the three of us who competed in the Zeno Expo, plus Vegeta, Gohan, 17, 18, and..."

"And Monaka!"

Beerus grew petrified of Goku's suggestion before he tried to fib his way out of it.

"Mona-er, Monaka can't come, sorry. He's not feeling well and he's busy, too."

"Oh, no, are you sure? But he doesn't even know about the Tournament yet, right?"

"I called him up when you weren't looking. Monaka can't come, okay?!"

21 then spoke to Goku, trying to avoid further conflict.

"It's best to leave him out of it, Goku. Monaka certainly can't win by getting everyone else sick. If anything, it'll make it worse."

"Aw, but what a shame. The strongest fighter in the universe can't make it."

As Beerus sighed, Whis spoke to him quietly.

"Lord Beerus, don't you think it's about time you told him the truth?"

"Absolutely not."

After that, 21 thought up other people.

"Okay. With you, Black, and me adding 17, 18, Vegeta, and Gohan, that's seven. I wonder if Krillin and Piccolo would agree to it."

Black grew highly doubtful considering his small role in his battle.

"I'm not entirely certain that this 'Krillin' would be able to handle the pressure."

"Well, for your information, he's been doing some training of his own, Black. Adding to that, he's developed a few new tricks up his sleeve."

"Hmm. Is that right?"

"Yep. So with them, that's nine."

Then, Supreme Kai spoke to the three.

"What do you think about adding Goten and Trunks to the team? They seem to have extensive latent abilities."

Goku seemed doubtful of this as he gave his two cents.

"Nah, that's not gonna work. These boys are still two green. This tournament is more than just a test of raw strength. You win by pushing others out of the ring, which requires strategy. They don't have enough experience."

Then, 21 thought up about how 16 was able to withstand Black's attack on the future when he went with the 17 and 18 of the present.

"What about 16? With all of the data between Cell and Black, I'd say he'll be a good addition."

"Oh, yeah. I guess he can fight well enough."

"All right, that makes 10."

"Hmm. Who else is there?"

Whis spoke up to them as they tried to figure it out.

"Well, we have about the minimum number of recruits covered, so I see no need to force a decision right away."

"Okay. But we can't take any chances with Akamu around."

Supreme Kai could agree with 21, having known of his team's involvement.

"Indeed, that's a good point. And there's still could be people on other worlds with high combat abilities. We should explore that."

"Well, then, I'll leave you to it. I'm gonna stick around a little longer and finish things up here."

"Don't overdo it, Great Ancestor."

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

With that, Supreme Kai , Black, and 21 places their hands on each other's shoulder before she realized something.

"Oh, wait! Artich needs to know about this. Can you guys be alright without me?"

As Black groaned, he had a realization of his own.

"Oh, right. I've forgotten I was expecting a child, too. Will you be alright be yourself?

"Of course. I may not like it, but I understand your circumstances."

"Thanks."

"Kai-Kai!"

With that, Supreme Kai teleported while 21 used Instant Transmission, leaving Black at the patio before Goku spoke.

"Man, this Tournament of Power is shaping up to be tons of fun already! Oh, before it starts, we better go get some Senzu from Korin."

However, that was a key flaw in the tournament.

"Actually, I believe those are against the rules. If I'm not mistaken, Senzu are those beans that recover your physical strength? That technically makes them an outside weapon, which is clearly not allowed."

"Wait, so no Senzu? I don't like the sound of that."

Then, Beerus leaned close to Goku.

"Just pop a few on the sly."

This made Black growl before he summoned an aura blade and planted it by his neck, making him cringe.

"Just because I have a body of a Saiyan doesn't mean I can't hear you."

"Okay. Message received..."

In the meantime, Vegeta, Trunks, and Mai came out trying to think of a name for his child as he spoke.

"Hmmm. How about Échalote? Yeah, that's not too bad."

"If I were you, I'd go for Aspara if it's a girl."

"But what about if it's a boy, though, Trunks?"

"Well, how about Vegeta Jr.?"

Then, Goku waved to them.

"Hey, guys!"

"Oh. Hey, what's up, Goku?"

"Is the baby born yet?"

"No, not yet. But it should be any moment now."

"Well, they better hurry, because I've got some awesome news. We're gonna get to fight some super strong warriors soon! It turns out the cosmos is like, really huge!"

"Well, that much is obvious."

"I know, right? And the best part is, 80-120 of us get to fight at the same time!"

This made Trunks widen his eyes before he spoke.

"So, it's a Battle Royale, then?"

Black nodded as he and Whis spoke to him.

"Yeah, that's right. 10-15 contestants from 8 different universes will enter the ring at once and whoever's left at the end is the winner."

"We're leaving the day after tomorrow."

As Goku chuckled, Trunks began to get suspicious.

"Hang on. There's more to this whole thing, isn't there?"

This took Goku and Black aback before he spoke.

"Usually, you'd keep that kind of thing to yourself so you can get stronger than Father. But instead you're asking us for help. What's really going on?"

Before Black could speak, Beerus spoke over them.

"Hey, quit flapping your gums, Saiyans! You're going to compete and that's an order!"

Trunks only glared at him before he spoke.

"With all due respect, Lord Beerus, if you want us to compete that badly, take it up to mother. We're not going until she agrees. Got that?"

This surprised Beerus as Whis sighed.

"Alright. I'll do it."

Meanwhile, Sareta and Bulma were being tended to as Tenshi and Chi-Chi sat by them.

"Now, now, Bulma, you need to rest. I mean, come on, just look at how big your belly is getting."

"Gee, thanks. You're so thoughtful."

Just then, Whis stepped in with Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Mai, Black, and Beerus by the door.

"Hello, everyone."

"Whis?"

"Listen, you can't just barge in like this! Bulma and Sareta are in a very delicate state!"

Ignoring Chi-Chi's words, Whis placed his staff in between Bulma and Sareta's bellies before it glowed as they looked on in amazement before he spoke the following incantation.

"Eepans ti ekam stel dana eebab eltil, hararof emoc. Eepah amam raed ruoy ekam, yoj fo eldnub."

After the incantation, two babies were then wrapped in a green blanket for Bulma's baby while a pink one wrapped around Sareta's as both children cried with Bulma speaking first as her and Sareta cradled their children.

"Whis, is this really our babies?"

"Oh. There, there, little one."

After the children calmed down and snuggled, the Pilaf Gang and Tenshi were awestruck by their cuteness.

"Aw!"

"Those little babies are so cute..."

"Well, Trunks, you, your Father, and Black should be able to compete now if I'm not mistaken?"

"Wow. I guess we are."

Sareta then spoke to Whis.

"Thanks so much, Whis. I never knew you could do that. Maybe I should call the next time we get pregnant, too."

With that, Black smiled at his child as he walked over and stood by Sareta as the older Mai spoke.

"I'll go give Goten and Trunks the good news."

Sareta then spoke to her, smiling as she held her baby child while Tenshi giggled.

"Yeah."

Meanwhile, 21 had told her husband about the situation.

"So, there's going to be a Tournament of Power?"

"Yeah. It's basically a universal Battle Royale, with about a range of 80-120 fighters."

"That many? Wow. Is that what the Zeno Expo was about?"

"Yeah. And... there's more. Akamu... he's back."

This made Artich petrified as his eyes widened.

"Akamu is revived?! How?!"

"I don't know. But he's participating in the Tournament of Power, too."

"Well, then we've got to bring him down."

As 21 looked behind him to see her children, one of which that had brown hair and light pink skin with a long tail similar to her mother's Majin form's and with black pupils opened her eyes as she grew tired, recovering from her nap as she rubbed her eyes before 21 walked in her house and knelt down to her.

"Hey, Cura. Did you have a good nap?"

"Yeah, Mommy. Dada said you had a Tournament to go to."

"Yeah. It was actually practice for the big one. It's a Battle Royale."

"Can we see you fight sometime? It'll be so cool!"

"Oh. I don't know if it's like that, Cura. But if it is, I'll be sure to arrange it."

"Thank you, Mommy. I love you."

As Cura giggled, 21 smiled back at her as she brushed her hair back.

"I love you, too. All of you."

As Cura hugged her then, 21 turned to Artich before she gave him a determined look, which he understood with his own as he nodded.

Later, Goku, Sareta, Bulma, Tenshi, Sareta, Chi-Chi, and Hercule were keeping an eye on the babies while Vegeta and Black stood near the end of the patio with their eyes closed as the first of the group spoke about them.

"So, they're Vegeta and Black's babies, huh? They don't look anything like either of them."

Sareta explained differently.

"Actually, when you look at my baby's eyes, they're kinda like his."

As Black scowled, Vegeta opened his left eye and looked toward Goku and the others as Tenshi spoke up.

"Can I hold the baby? Please?"

"Sure. But don't you dare drop her."

"Come on. When have I ever done that?"

Then, it was Black's turn to scowl as he looked toward Tenshi.

"Oh, you look so cute, don't you?, You little tyke? Coochie-coochie-coo."

As the baby giggled, Black drew a breath of relief before Vegeta spoke.

"Let me guess, your wife had a baby?"

"Of course. Same with you?"

"Unfortunately."

Then, Hercule spoke up as he then asked for Tenshi's permission.

"M-Mind if I cut in?"

"Uh, okay."

"How adorable! I'm your uncle Champ!"

As he made a face, he only made the baby cry, causing Black to tense in anger and turn Super Saiyan Rosé as a result, catching everyone else off-guard as Vegeta understood that part as he scoffed at it.

"What the—?"

"Are we under attack?"

"Hmph."

Trunks got the message and spoke to him.

"Maybe you're not what's best for the baby."

"Oh, I see. Sorry."

As Hercule handed the baby back to Tenshi, she soothed it.

"There, there. You're okay."

Then, the baby noticed the glow from Black before she made cooing sounds, drawn by the color before Black ceased his momentary fit, confusing the child just as Beerus and Elder Kai were eating and/or drinking from the bowl with the Pilaf Gang as their waiters.

"Hey! You keep that food coming or else!"

"Okay! Okay, okay, it's coming right up, sir!"

"Hup-two-three-four! Hup-two-three-four!"

With that, they set up another meal for them to eat.

"Aah. Here you go, sir!"

"For all we know, this could be our last supper. So I say let's make it count."

As they continued eating, 21, Artich, and Cura, who had woken up from her nap, arrived via Instant Transmission before Goku spoke.

"Come on, it's my turn now."

"Wow, the baby's here?"

As they turned around, they noticed Artich and 21 with Cura on her shoulders.

"I hope we didn't miss anything."

Bulma then smiled at her.

"Oh, 21. Nice of you to drop by."

"Yeah. Cura wanted to see the babies when I told her about them."

As Cura took notice, she and Tenshi spoke about them.

"Aw! They look so cute!"

"I know, right?"

Meanwhile, Trunks and Goten has just finished building the crib and were now looking for a perfect spot for the crib.

"Okay. We just finished the crib. Now, all that's left to do is find a perfect spot for it."

"How about right here?"

"Yeah, I guess it's a good place to start."

Just then, Mai came into the room.

"Hey, Trunks."

Seeing her, Trunks blushed madly as Goten spoke.

"Oh, hey, Mai."

"Guess what? The baby's here. Both your mom's and Sareta's."

"Seriously?!"

Later, Chi-Chi practically fawned over Bulma's baby while Sareta held her own as it slept peacefully.

"Ooh, how adorable. My little Goten was just as cute as that with those little chipmunk cheeks."

Then, Bulma turned to her older son.

"Why don't you come over here?"

"Trunks, I want you to meet your little baby sister."

"Wait. I have a sister?"

"Yep."

Just then, Goten and the younger Trunks arrived with the latter eager to see the baby.

"Hey, can I see it, too?"

"Why, of course."

"Wow. It looks so tiny and squishy."

Goku then spoke about how Goten was like.

"Hey, y'know, you were just as tiny as that when you were born, Goten."

This made Chi-Chi correct him assertively.

"How would you know, Goku? You weren't there, you were too busy up there being dead."

"Oops, I just had to go and open my big mouth, didn't I?"

As everyone laughed, Bulma spoke to the older Trunks.

"So, Trunks, would you like to hold her?"

"Uh, sure. I guess."

As Bulma handed the young child to Trunks, she spoke onward.

"Now, as her big brother, it's your job to keep your little sister safe. I'll be counting on you, alright?"

"Don't worry. I will. But, geez, Mom. You don't need to make it sound like the future's in danger again."

Then, Sareta noticed Black looking before he looked away and coughed. This made her turn to Tenshi before she spoke.

"Can you do something for me?"

With that, Tenshi walked over to Black while holding the child.

"Hey. Sareta said maybe you'd like to hold the baby."

As Black looked at her, Tenshi smiled before he spoke to her.

"It's a wonder that you're holding it right. Let me see."

"You've been waiting for her a long time, haven't you?"

Black only scoffed before looking at the baby and smiling before Dr. Briefs spoke up to the mothers.

"By the way, have you settled on a name for her? If you'd like, I can offer some suggestions."

Sareta spoke up first as she turned to Black.

"Thanks, But I'm afraid you can't speak for us. We've decided on Celery for the Saiyan name. What about you, Bulma? Did to decide yet?"

Then, Vegeta spoke up next in anticipation.

"As a matter of fact, I've already picked out a name. One worthy of the Saiyan Wa—"

However, Bulma drowned him out.

"Oh, I've got the perfect name for her. We're calling her... Bulla!"

"Nh! What?! But I had a..."

As Bulla giggled, the group starting from Goten to Chi-Chi spoke up.

"Baby Bulla, huh?"

"That's all right."

"Ah, Bulla. What a wonderful choice, dear."

"A lovely name for a lovely girl."

"It's perfect. Bully for Bulla."

"Hey, just hold on a minute there! This is ridiculous. I wanted to give my daughter a traditional Saiyan name!"

Then, the older Trunks had an idea.

"Don't worry, Father. Maybe that can be her nickname from you. After all, Goku seemed fine with you calling him Kakarot."

This made Vegeta's face blanch before he spoke.

"It's just not the same."

Then, 21 spoke to Goku.

"How about that? Now there's one more reason to fight."

"Yeah. Mark my words, 21. We're gonna win that Tournament of Power."

"Right."

"Well, so long. I'm headed for Krillin's place, now."

As Goku took off, 21 looked to the sky as Tenshi did before the latter spoke.

"Hey, 21. Did you see something up there?"

"No. I'm just thinking about what's out there..."

As they looked at the sky, Vegeta looked toward his daughter.

"Bulla, hmm?"

This made Bulla giggle before Vegeta sighed as he turned to Black.

"Well... it's not the worst name. Though I can't say I don't envy you, Black."

As Bulma smiled, Sareta did the same as she held Celery in her arms.

Meanwhile, Supreme Kai arrived on Planet Vampa, looking around for any potential strong fighters as he then noticed two strange silhouettes in the dust while widening his eyes.

"Unbeknownst to their friends and families, Goku and Supreme Kai race across the universe the globe, gathering a team of warriors to keep them safe and protect the multiverse from potential doom. 39 hours remain until the start of the Tournament of Power, which will determine the fate of the 7th Universe. Will Goku and Supreme Kai be able to assemble their 15 champions by then? Find out next time on 'Dragon Ball Super'!"
