A/N: Hello. Before you start reading, I feel the need to tell you that I professionally don't have the slightest clue how 17's family looked, so I took a closer look at the owls as 17 explained why they couldn't come to the island for symbolism. I made a few guesses from them, although they may not be accurate. I'm just a little miffed we never got to see them. The creators of this show better make it happen one way or another, or else I'll RIOT! Ahem. Anyway, enjoy. :)
Chapter 10: "First Brawl of the Outcasts!; Broly Advances on Goku!"
As Goku flew in the air, he noticed 21 and Cura, who was on her back, catching up with him before the trio took off to where Krillin's energy was located.
"Previously on Dragon Ball Super, Goku and 21 rushed to build their team for the Tournament."
"Believe it or not, I'm done trying to do it solo. And you should be too."
This made 21 widen her eyes before he spoke on.
"The one thing I know for sure is that you are strong, whether you and anyone else believes it or not. And it's got nothing to do with your own power, as cool as it is. It's because of your heart."
This made Artich smile before he spoke.
"You know, you took the words right out of my mouth."
Then, 21 looked toward Artich before she spoke.
"Okay. Let's get stronger together!"
"But just as Krillin and 18 joined the team, Cae convened his counterparts from across the cosmos in an emergency summit."
"As I was saying... We should focus our attention on Akamu rather than Goku."
This made Ea, Pell, and Kuru displeased.
"Is this the ludicrous scheme you called us here to discuss?"
"What good would that do us? Akamu's power is second only to Grand Zeno."
"I doubt it'll work. And it's entirely possible that if he catches wind of it, he'll just wipe us out right there on the spot."
All the while, Fuwa continued his mundane moaning.
"What to do, what to do? Hwah. Just what to do?"
Gowasu spoke up in favor of the plan.
"A sound strategy, of course. You can count on us to support you."
With that, all of the orbs disappeared before they returned to their posts as Cae spoke.
"It appears there is a little number of volunteers than I expected. I had hoped to forge a mutually beneficial agreement so that all eight universes might survive. But since the 10th universe is the only one to agree, only two would be spared."
Suddenly, the orbs lit up to show the candidates for the Tournament of Power in the Eleventh Universe.
"And while it gives me little pleasure to say this, it's clear that our two universes would be the sole survivors. After all, we do have the strongest warriors in the cosmos."
Suddenly, Supreme Kai heard growling behind him before he turned to see a giant creature before one of the silhouettes lunged at the beast and tore off one of its legs before firing a green blast with his hand, sending him far away before he turned to the stunned Supreme Kai as he gasped in exclamation before it showed Goku landed at the backyard in Bulma's place next to Tenshi.
"But Supreme Kai has found another Saiyan warrior on Planet Vampa just as Goku set out to prove him wrong."
"Just a question: do you know where 17 is? I want to ask him something."
Having been asked that, Tenshi thought he wanted to train with her and 17, not that she minded it, so she agreed to help.
"You wanna come with? I was just about to leave for the island at the south."
"That'd be awesome! Thanks!"
"You're welcome."
Then, it showed 17 driving in a ranger car on the mountains before it showed Supreme Kai, Broly, and Paragus arriving in front of Beerus and Whis, catching the Destroyer by surprise as he met Broly's militant stare.
"Can Goku convince 17 to join his team? And what ulterior motives lurk in the minds of the Saiyan Outcasts? Find out, now!"

At Bulma's patio, Beerus and Whis stood in shock as the former was stammering while Whis spoke.
"Oh, my."
Supreme Kai explained himself.
"Don't worry, Lord Beerus. I haven't used the time ring to bring these two. They were exiled a long time ago before Planet Vegeta's destruction."
This made Beerus even more shocked.
"Exiled?!"
Then, Paragus spoke as he and Broly bowed, knowing full well of what he has done with King Vegeta.
"Lord Beerus the Destroyer. We know of your great predicament and we humbly ask that you let us assist you."
As Beerus glared at them in distrust, he spoke to the father.
"And how do I know you can deliver?"
"Why, Broly has a special device that suppresses his power so it doesn't overwhelm him."
"I see... take it off."
That made him widen his eyes before he spoke.
"What was that, my lord?"
"You heard me. Take that flea collar off."
"But, my Lord, if Broly isn't in control, he would kill off his opponents and we'll be eliminated that much faster!"
"I'm well aware of that. But the sooner we get a handle of his power, the sooner he can adjust to it, and the sooner we won't have to deal with this issue. Now take it off."
Having understood his words, Paragus agreed.
"Oh. You show great wisdom, my Lord."
With that, Paragus took off his collar from Broly, who widened his eyes before closing them and opening them to reveal normal eyes before Broly spoke.
"Now, where's Kakarot?"
As Beerus and Whis we're our on the spot, Paragus reminded Broly of his status.
"Broly! Show some respect! He's a deity!"
Then, Broly turned to them and sighed before speaking again.
"I'll ask again. Where's Kakarot, my Lord?"
Whis was more than willing to answer.
"Well, I do believe he's looking for more recruits right now."
To show this, Whis used his staff to show Goku and Tenshi traveling to the island as Broly smirked.
"Good."
Suddenly, Broly powered up a white aura before taking off to the sky with Paragus as a large amount of dust from the backlash resulted as Supreme Kai, Beerus, and Whis coughed before the Elder Kai suddenly woke up.
"What's that? Did I miss something?"
End Super Music: "Frieza's Scheme"
Later, it showed Goku and Tenshi flying over the ocean before the former spoke to her.
"So, you were able to fly this whole time? How come you were using a car the first time we met?"
"I could ask you the same. You can fly, too, can't you?"
This made Goku laugh sheepishly before he spoke again.
"So, anyway, how did you end up with 17?"
"Well... I needed a job. My parents told me I can't just stay in their house all day; I needed to grow up and get a job. Then, I've found this job application for ranger services. When I read the requirements and found out that it required combat skills, it didn't make sense to me. Until my first day, that is. There was this whole gang of poachers that sought out after the rarest animals. 17 was all over them and knocked them straight outta town. Only problem is, they just kept coming no matter what he did. I wanted to help him. At first, he wasn't into it, but then he decided to give me a shot and train with me."
"Wow. That sounds awesome. You've gotta be pretty lucky to train with 17."
"I know."
Then, they saw an island far away before she spoke.
"Look! There it is!"
"Whoa! It's huge! You guys protect all this?"
"Yep. You can see how we have some trouble."
As the two of them flew over the jungle, Goku was getting impatient while Tenshi enjoyed the fresh air.
"Doesn't it smell amazing?"
"Oh, man, he could be anywhere. And all this jungle isn't helping. It'd be a whole lot easier if I could sense his energy."
Suddenly, an explosion went off far away before they looked to see countless animals running away, including a herd of horses. As the dust went away, 17, 16, Black, and Sareta stood against them before the leader of the poachers spoke to his men.
"Okay, boys! Open fire!"
Then, they shot a barrage of bullets at them, only for 17 and Black to block them with their hands before the former spoke.
"You poachers never learn."
"Don't just stand there! Shoot them!"
Before they could, Black aimed his hand at them before firing a barrage of black and yellow energy blasts, knocking them farther away in an explosion before Sareta spoke to him.
"Black, I thought we talked about this."
"Well, at least they're still alive."
Goku and Tenshi noticed this as they descended.
"Hey. I bet that's him."
"Aw! They started without me!"
Then, Tenshi noticed a poacher sneaking into the forest before she darted toward him.
"Hey!"
The poacher looked up too late before Tenshi kicked him in the face to the ground as she smirked. As this happened, Black, 16, 17, and Sareta were knocking the soldiers away in hand-to-hand combat before 17 finished the commander with a chop to the neck and spoke.
"Same old, same old."
Then, Goku spoke up to him as Tenshi joined him.
"Hey, there!"
"Hi, 17."
17 smiled at the two before speaking.
"Well, well. That's a surprise."
16 grew curious about Goku's presence.
"Yes, indeed. How did Goku know about this island?"
"Yeah, Goku wanted to come ask you something. Speaking of, is it alright if I know what that is?"
"Nah. Sorry, Tenshi. That's for 17's ears only.
This made Tenshi frown before she spoke.
"Aw, man!"
Then, they heard the sounds of machinery before they group looked behind them to see more poachers approaching as Tenshi spoke.
"More poachers, huh? Looks like I didn't miss much."
The poacher then shouted proudly.
"Yeah! I want those Rangers destroyed!"
Then, they began shooting near them as Goku spoke to Black.
"What are you guys gonna do now?"
"The same thing we always do."
With that, Black turned Super Saiyan Rosé before unsheathing his aura blade into that of a scimitar, concerning Goku as he noticed countless animals in the fray.
"Uh, isn't that a bit extreme?"
"So long as I don't hurt the animals, and I won't, it's more than alright."
Then, Black swiped his scimitar at the tanks in a sort of dance while landing needles on the weapons before Black did a pose and detonated them, knocking the poachers sky high before they coincidentally landed on a large raft far away before they went away.
"Why you! You'll pay for this!"
17 took notice of Black's tactics and spoke to him.
"Wow. You're really taking charge there, Black. Is there any particular reason?"
"I'd say for the same reason Goku came all this way."
Then, they walked on the island as Goku spoke with Tenshi.
"So, what makes this island such a magnet for those guys?"
"They wanted to take the Minotauros for his horns. They make a fortune in the black market apparently."
"What's a Minotauros?"
"You'll see."
Then, the group stopped to see a large purple beast with horns like a bull drinking water as Goku and 16 spoke.
"Whoa. That's a Minotauros? Cool."
"Yes. Of all our exploits on the island, his protection is most vital."
"So you don't just protect the little creatures. You protect dangerous monsters, too."
Tenshi knew Goku wasn't quite correct as she took a few steps back.
"Well, not me."
17 thought differently from Tenshi's position.
"Even monsters deserve a chance at life."
"Can't argue with that."
Suddenly, the Minotauros took notice of them, earning Tenshi's panic before she spoke.
"He's looking at us!"
Then, it scraped its hoof on the ground before charging at them, causing Tenshi to squeal before she spoke.
"I'm out of here!"
As she took off for the air, Goku got in his stance before 17 spoke.
"No, don't."
"Wait, what?"
"Follow me."
With that, the group floated to the air after Tenshi before the Minotauros crashed itself onto the wall before Goku spoke.
"Man, that Minotauros sure has a short temper."
"They used to be among the more mild-mannered animals. But poaching has altered their behavior. It's made them aggressive toward man."
"Is that so?"
"The Red Data Book said they're critically endangered. He's not only the last one on the island, but most likely the last one in the world."
Goku felt bad for the Minotauros while Tenshi gave her two cents on it.
"Seriously?"
"I know, right? That's so lonely."
"Yeah. Once he's gone, they're probably gone forever."
Then, Tenshi spoke to 17 about how he knew him.
"Hey, 17. You never told me how you know Goku. Were you doing anything with him back then?"
17 only smiled at Tenshi before answering.
"Life is funny. After Doctor Gero ordered us to find and destroy him, hunting him down was my sole obsession. But instead, it was me who was hunted down by Cell, another of the doctor's creations. Despite all my effort, I never got to fight him."
Then, Goku spoke up to him.
"I know. So I have no idea what you're capable of."
"Hm. And why's that matter?"
"I know it's strange me showing up like this in the middle of nowhere. But I need to see how strong you are."
After gasping at that, 17 looked to Tenshi before she realized what it was about.
"Oh. It's just between you two. I get it. Have fun! And don't kill each other!"
Then, Tenshi took off for another area of the forest before 17 spoke to Goku.
"Come to think of it, you still haven't told me why you came here."
"I'm looking for strong allies. The strongest in the entire universe!"
This made 17 gasp again before Goku spoke again.
"And it's for good reason."
Suddenly, Paragus shouted to him.
"You're wasting your time, Kakarot!"
This caught him off-guard for a moment before the group looked all around in the air as Paragus spoke onward.
"If you're looking for the strongest warriors in the entire universe, look no further than us, your own kind!"
Then, Goku, 17, Black, 16, and Sareta looked above to see Paragus and Broly in the air with a smile on the former's face before 17 stared at Broly and figured out who they were.
"Saiyans, huh? I see it now. You have those aggressive eyes."
"So you acknowledged your people of Saiyan strength yet waste your time with those weaklings? How pathetic! Show them what real strength is, Broly!"
Then, Broly growled before he roared, triggering a shockwave that jolted the island, concerning 17 before he spoke.
"You can't fight right here! You'll end up sinking the island and drowning the animals!"
"So what? What purpose could they possibly serve for us?"
Goku then spoke to him.
"I know you're eager to fight, but if you trash this place, you're not getting a fight, got that?"
This made Paragus growl before he smirked.
"Interesting. So you are Bardock's son after all."
"Huh? Who's Bardock?"
"That will come in time. For now, you fight."
"Honestly, I can't wait."
With that, Goku took off into the sky and confronted Broly as the two stared in each other's eyes, unmoving from their position. Suddenly, Goku turned Super Saiyan before he spoke.
"Let's go."

Then, Goku lunged at Broly before he dodged and forced him back farther away, engaging in pursuit. When Goku tried to punch him again, Broly blocked him before he and Goku engaged in a rapid clash until the opponent dodged his face near the arm, surprising him. Broly took advantage of the lapse as he pressed his chest closer to his while summoning a green energy blast near it before detonating it on Goku, knocking him to the island, much to 17's concern.
"Oh, no. The jungle!"
Goku then stopped himself as Broly grew furious as he snarled and got his fist ready while Goku charged back at him, engaging in a clash in the air, resulting in sonic booms before Broly got kicked in the face by Goku before he glared at him and wiped the blood away before preparing a green energy cluster and chucking it at him, resulting in multiple explosions in the sea and a rise in waves before Broly smirked at him and began powering up in a green aura with his muscles expanding before his eyes began gaining yellow irises as he shouted before Goku realized what was going down.
"Oh, I get it. You're getting some fun out of this. In that case..."
With that, Goku bellowed before turning Super Saiyan Azure as well before Paragus grew confused.
"W-What form is this?"
17 spoke to the Saiyan as he landed near him.
"That's Super Saiyan Azure. Believe it or not, Goku challenged Beerus and became a Super Saiyan God."
This shocked Paragus as he tried to call it off.
"Broly! That's enough! You don't need to go on any longer!"
Broly didn't heed him as he snickered before speaking.
"Kakarot... come at me with everything you have."
"That's the idea."
Then, Broly smiled before he began powering up a green energy blast from his mouth while Goku prepared his signature move.
"Ka... Me... Ha... Me... Ha!"
With that, Broly and Goku collided their blasts before they engaged in a deadlock, triggering a massive shockwave that blew waves on the ocean. They kept at it until the blasts exploded with neither side taking advantage before they descended in hand-to-hand combat and crashed into the ocean and came back up. Once they did, Broly and Goku panted before they attempted to fight again. Before they could, Sareta got in between the two of them and spoke.
End Super Music: "Fistfight Battle"
"That's enough! Fight any more, and you'll end up sinking the island! And if you don't mind, I'd like to keep it since my baby is sleeping there!"
This made Goku laugh sheepishly before he spoke.
"Sorry. My bad."
Then, Goku changed back to normal, infuriating Broly.
"Why did you stop?!"
"Hey, don't be mad. I'm just conserving my energy for the Tournament. I'm guessing you know about that, don't you?"
Broly grew flabbergasted for a moment as he changed back to normal before nodding.
"That's right. I do."
Later, 17, Goku, Paragus, and Broly were eating at a campfire before 17 spoke.
"So that's what happened to you guys. Sorry you had to live like that. Good thing Supreme Kai found you when you did."
Paragus spoke to the boy next.
"Well, I'd always go to great lengths in preserving family. You of all people should know that."
"And I do. Everything changed for me after the Dragon Balls brought me back. I was able to get this job. Not long after that, I met my wife. Then we had children and I settled into this relatively quiet life."
"I'd love to meet the little missus and any of the little 17's. Are they around?"
"No. With the poachers, it's too dangerous for them to come to the island."
"What about pictures of them?"
"You're really interested? Alright. Hold on."
Then, 17 showed a picture of a brown-haired woman with a baby girl in her arms while a raven-haired girl and a blonde boy stood by them and 17 before Goku spoke.
"Huh! Cool! You didn't say you had three of 'me."
"One's ours, two are adopted."
Then, Broly took a look at he photo and grew a bit nostalgic of a sort before he spoke.
"What are their names?"
As confused as 17 was, he indulged Broly.
"My wife is named Kira, our baby's named Sapphire, and the adopted siblings are Kan and Hogo."
Seeing this family, albeit not in person, made Broly smile before he spoke.
"Good to know."
Then, 17 spoke to Goku.
"Anyway, what do you want Goku?"
"Hm?"
"I know you didn't come to this island just to get an update on my personal life."
"You're right. I just didn't know the best way to explain it."
"That's the first time today you've been at a loss for words."
"Well, it's like this."
At Bulma's patio, Beerus was pacing himself as he walked around while Whis had a feeling about what it's for.
"I take it you're concerned of those mystery Saiyans that popped up out of the blue."
"Of course I am. For instance, how the heck did they know about our predicament?"
Supreme Kai stood up as he explained himself.
"Well, I told them that we needed their help, as well as the stakes."
This made Beerus raise an eyebrow before he spoke.
"You mean that was you?"
Supreme Kai replied nervously at this before he sat down.
"Uh... yes."
"I see. In that case..."
With that, Beerus went back to eating contently until he was stuffed.
"Aah! That hit the spot. And with that, it's time for a nap. Wake me in an hour, and get me one more bucket of those potstickers."
"All these naps are a voice, my lord, and so is gluttony— can you please choose one or the other?"
"Hm! Our universe may be enslaved by Akamu in mere days, so until that apocalypse happens, I'll do whatever I want."
Then, Beerus began snoring as Whis sighed.
"Why do I even bother?"
Later, Goku had told them everything.
"So there you have it."
17 walked over to the shelter as he spoke.
"Hm. A Tournament of Power. That's quite a story, Goku."
"Yeah, but it's all true!"
"So, you're asking me to leave my responsibilities down here to fight Akamu?"
"Yep. You in?"
"If it'll finally get rid of that demon."
"Alright. Thanks."
"Although... who is gonna look after the island while I'm gone?"
Goku had an idea.
"Well, I figured 16 and Sareta would look after it, and they won't be alone. Trunks and Goten will look after it, too.
"Trunks, I remember. Who's Goten?"
"My son! He can rough up any poachers, no problem."
As Goku chuckled, he threw his fists back and forth before Paragus spoke to him.
"So you're asking us to fight this Akamu demon you speak about?"
"Yeah, basically. And it's not just him, either. The guys on the other universes' teams are all super strong!"
"Well, that we can get behind. Do either of those universes have Saiyans as well?"
"Just the sixth, as far as we know. I mean, they don't even have tails, but they can fight just as strong."
Paragus grew intrigued as he held his finger to his chin.
"I'd like to get a good look at these Saiyans myself. We'll fight for you, Kakarot, but first, we would like to assess the competition."
"Well, you'll have to talk to Whis about that. Besides, a Saiyan from Universe 6 is here, too. He should be packing up for the trip anyhow."
"Well, where do you suppose we can find him?"
Play Super Music: "Zamasu's Overwhelming Power"
At the Demon Realm, Towa watched from his staff as Goku answered him.
"He should be over at 21's place with his kids. I can take you to him if you want."
Towa growled at this before she spoke to Akamu.
"Lord Akamu, I'm afraid we have bad news. The Legendary Super Saiyan of Universe 7 is found."
"What?"
"Even worse, he's planning to visit his counterpart himself."
Akamu didn't like it one bit as he stood up from his throne.
"If those two ever combined their powers, my goals will all be for naught. Send in Xicor, and tell him to tear those Saiyans to shreds."
"Yes, my lord."
As Towa vanished in a red pillar, the stage of the Tournament of Power is still undergoing construction as they assembled themselves.
"Only 31 hours and 40 minutes remain until the start of the Tournament of Power. And Akamu has every intention to throw a wrench in Goku's plans. What is his next plan? The countdown continues, next tine in Dragon Ball Super."
