A/N: Hello, everyone. Did you see the new trailer for "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" featuring SSGSS Gogeta? I have, and I gotta say, I am SOOOO looking forward to it. Especially for Dragon Ball Legends when I get to play as the new Broly, and since I managed to get Goku Black at the last minute of the Black Friday Step-Up summons with its final step. It was a hassle, really, but worth it. Anyway, enjoy. :)
Chapter 13: "The Kidnapping of Goku?!; Debuting the Warrior of Instinct, Xeno Gogeta!"

As Ize and Demigra stood on a cliff at midday watching over the city with a dark barrier around them, Ize smirked at the scene as he took notice of Xeno Goku, Xeno Vegeta, and Xeno Trunks at Capsule Corp. before Demigra spoke.
"Remember, Ize. We're only here to retrieve Goku."
"I'm not sure about that. Maybe we can stick around a while, see if they know anything useful."
"Perhaps, but as much as I agree, we mustn't waste too much time since the Tournament of Power will commence soon. The most we can stay here for is 20 minutes."
"Alright. But if we do find anything useful, we can waste more than that. How much, I can't fathom, but if they know anything useful, we must use it to our advantage."
With that, the two of them and their barrier vanished just before the sunlight got to them near the shade that the trees on the cliff produced and where they once took refuge in.

Meanwhile, on the island, 17 was gazing in the direction where Goku took off to find more recruits before the latter walked up to him. Truth is, while 21 talked with 17, she overheard the Tournament of Power and how he'll take part in it. Hearing this, she could easily guess that's what Goku wanted to discuss with 17. With that, she tried to see if there's an opening for her.
"A tournament, huh?"
As 17 raised his head and turned behind him, Tenshi jumped onto him and put her arms around him before greeting him with a smile as 17 casually dropped it as he wasn't usually so fond of the hugs, especially since he tended to get surprised by them. However, he kept in mind that her energy was a lot like his own, impossible to sense, before he spoke.

"Tenshi. Exactly how long have you been here?"
"Well, since you and Goku helped patch up the island. 21 told me about that Xicor guy, how he got in the middle of the fight and how another guy named Broly was fighting him. That's how the whole island shook up. Also, I heard what you and Goku were talking about."
"But that was hours ago. Why didn't you just say something? And more importantly, why didn't you help us?"
"I didn't think I needed to worry. I mean, I know you and your friends are pretty strong, too. Besides, I was helping. When the fight scared the animals, I tried to coral them back to their habitats. Even the Minotauros. In all the chaos, I helped calm it down. Now, I'm not scared of it anymore."
"Huh. Well, that's an interesting development."
"So, the tournament's gonna be against all other universes?"
17 nodded to her as he simply gave up arguing about it just as Tenshi didn't discuss more about the topic. He knew very well that they wouldn't allow random spectators just as she probably knew that as well. That left two options for her: to fight or to stay.
"All of them, huh?"
When 17 heard her quiet speech, he assumed that she was talking to herself. A theory that was proven correct as she walked up beside him and looked to the sky as she thought of how it'd go on her behalf.
"If what they're talking about is anything to go by, then that means... maybe I'll find out what those shooting stars at the day mean. And maybe... with those Super Dragon Balls... I could find out who my real parents were. I'll finally know where I really came from."
Being certain of this, Tenshi broke the silence as she spoke firmly.
"I'm in."
As this made 17 surprised, Tenshi noticed his look and giggled before she spoke.
"Don't you worry about me. I can handle myself pretty well, and I'm sure I'll be helpful."
Hearing how confident she was, 17 couldn't help but grin as Tenshi spoke up, as though she could read his mind.
"If you want to test my strength, that's fine by me."
As he put on another surprised look, Tenshi raised her voice and gave him a confident smile.
"Don't give me that look. It's written all over your face."
With that, 17 closed his eyes with a smile on his lips before he spoke up.
"Then let's not waste any time. I'm sure you already know this, but I won't hold myself back just because you're female."
Tenshi nodded to him with a smile as they were unaware that 16, Sareta, Celery, and Black were watching with a smile on their faces.

Meanwhile, at Capsule Corp., Xeno Goku was finishing up on explaining to Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks why they were here.
"And that's basically why we're here."
Goku and Trunks got confused at this turn of events, mostly due to their counterparts.
"I gotta say, it's weird that there's somebody who looks like me and acts completely different."
"Yeah. I know what you mean."
Xeno Trunks explained the situation to his other self.
"Well, you can thank Vegetto for pawning us off to you. He suggested we join you in case you didn't fill in enough members."
With that, Beerus and Whis snickered as Xeno Goku continued.
"Anyway, we're also here not just to join, but to teach you guys Ultra Instinct."
As Goku, Beerus, and Whis got shocked at this, the first of the three spoke.
"What?! You're really gonna teach us?!"
"Yeah. But it's pretty tricky. See, you don't just have to be calm and be one with your instinct; you gotta surprise the opponent through acting on your own."
Hearing this, Goku got eager to master it as he recalled a time when Sen mastered it against Akamu in the future before he spoke.
"Aw, yeah! That sounds amazing! So, how do we get it?!"
"Well, in order to get it, you not only have to stop thinking, but you also have to get in tune with your instinct."
Vegeta smirked as he spoke to Goku.
"The first part should be easy for you. After all, you are an idiot."
"Hey! At least I'm closer to getting Ultra Instinct than you are!"
Xeno Goku then got serious and spoke to them.
"Enough, you two! Arguing isn't gonna get us anywhere. Besides, closer to getting Ultra Instinct isn't the same as actually getting it. That's why I'm gonna help you get it for real."
With that, Xeno Goku shouted as he grew crimson red fur all over his body, save for his chest, neck, and head which now possessed a black mane with his slimy hair as Beerus and Whis grew more shocked of this as Goku grinned.
"Wow. How did you get that form? Is that something I can get, too?"
Xeno Goku only frowned before he spoke.
"There's no time for you to be excited when your friends and family are at stake. Besides, I thought you were interested in Ultra Instinct."
This made Goku get serious before he spoke.
"Oh. Right. I understand."
Suddenly, they felt a disturbing presence of energy before Ize and Demigra suddenly appeared in the air above Capsule Corp. as Xeno Goku turned and glared at Ize.
Play Super Music: "Frieza's Scheme"
"Ize. What are you doing here?"
"Well, we merely came to kidnap a certain competitor of yours, but then we heard you talking about Ultra Instinct. I'll be honest, I never imagined that it would be just as marvelous as our use of Trunks's training for 3 years, courtesy of Chronoa."
As Xeno Trunks, Trunks, and Vegeta heard this, they gasped before Ize spoke again with a mock bow towards both Trunks.
"Oh, that reminds me. I must pay my respects to the man who killed my father."
As if the shock from that wasn't enough, Trunks could guess what he meant.
"You mean you're Frieza's son?!"
As they all gasped from this, Beerus and Whis realized what he meant.
"Wait a minute. That walking pike is Frieza's son?!"
"I'm afraid so. It would appear he's been carefully preserved prior to his father's arrival on Namek."
Xeno Vegeta here concerned about another topic.
"How could you possibly replicate my son's training?! You'd need a massive surplus of energy, not to mention powers over time and space."
Demigra chuckled at this as he spoke.
"That is true, Vegeta. But unlike Chronoa, I can replenish energy swiftly."
Then, Ize took his turn to speak to Xeno Goku.
"That's right. And now that I've heard so much about Ultra Instinct, I've got the time and energy to see it up close and personal."
Xeno Goku only glared at him before he spoke.
"You want it that badly? Fine. I'll take you on."
Then, Xeno Vegeta spoke up.
"Hold on, Kakarot. You're not the only one who wants to beat his face off."
"Glad to hear it. But don't underestimate this guy. He's not only fast, but he also took on a Kamehameha in my Kaioken X20 without a scratch at all."
Xeno Vegeta could only smirk as he spoke.
"Well, it's a good thing we're not doing this alone."
End Super Music: "Frieza's Scheme"
With that, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta took off as the latter turned Super Saiyan 4 and attempted to hit him, only to strike his afterimage, with him having moved 10 meters away as he waved to them while he shouted.
"Yoo-hoo! Over here!"
Seeing him, they lunged at Ize and tried to punch and kick him rapidly, only got him to dodge them easily before he spoke.
"You missed."
The two of them smirked before Xeno Vegeta attempted to trip him before he dodged that just as Xeno Goku teleported and tried to punch him, only for Ize's tail to catch his fist. Using the opportunity, he tried to punch Xeno Goku before he used his legs to catch his fist before Xeno Vegeta attempted to kick him, only to be blocked by his elbow before using his arm to get Xeno Vegeta's leg before smashing their foreheads together, forcing Xeno Goku to release his fist before kicking them to the ground, only for them to recover before Xeno Vegeta spoke.
"Such a monstrous power."
"That's exactly why I told you to be careful. Yet, I can't help but be excited that I'm fighting a strong foe."
"Same here. But we're going to have to use fusion to keep up with that creep."
This made Xeno Goku chuckle a bit before Xeno Vegeta spoke.
"What's so funny, Kakarot?"
"Nothing. I'm just happy you suggested it. Because usually, you hate fusion."
"It's a special occasion."
With that, Ize appeared on the ground just as he spoke.
"Well, what's your next move now?"
As an answer, they prepared to do a fusion dance with them speaking.
"Fu... sion!"
This made Ize laugh his head off as he spoke.
"That's your backup plan?! A ridiculous dance?!"
"HA!"
As they touched their fingers together, they can't together and Ize was overcome by a bright light before the light dissipated to show Gogeta in a form with blue eyes, red hair, and dark red fur as Ize spoke.
"So, you've finally become stronger. Perhaps you might be worth my time after all. More than that, I do hope I could learn Ultra Instinct myself."
The being grinned at him as he spoke.
"Don't worry, Ize. I'm gonna give you exactly what you deserve and more. Or my name, or should I say our name, isn't Gogeta."
With that, Gogeta closed his eyes and focused on his instinct before a powerful silver plasma aura enveloped his body, turning the fur silver. And when he opened his eyes, Ize grew impressed as he grinned while Gogeta returned the same gesture.
Meanwhile, at Universe 6's Sadala, Vegetto was eating Chicken Soup made by Caulifla, as were the rest of the team as he spoke.
"Wow! This is really good!"
Fu, Towa, and Artich could agree.
"Yeah, sister! This is amazing!"
"You are a really great cook."
"I only wish my mouth was bigger."
Caulifla smiled at this as she replied.
"Well, it is the least I can do for Kale. She is my sister after all."
Speaking of, Kale and Broly got out of their tent with content smiles as the former's hairstyle was similar to Broly's as her hair band was off, making Caulifla confused.
"Hey, sis. Did you get bed head or something?"
This made Kale blush as she spoke.
"Actually, I took it off on my own. I kinda like it this way."
Surprised by her choice as she was, Caulifla only smiled as she nodded.
"Alright. Here's some soup for you, Kale."
As Caulifla handed the soup to her, Kale smiled as she spoke.
"Thank you, Caulifla."
As she drank the soup, Cabba thought about Vegetto's experience.
"You know, Vegetto, you come off like you actually fought a Destroyer and won. But how can we know that for sure?"
Towa had an idea to remedy this as she spoke.
"I can show you that, you know."
Play Super Music: "Birth of a God"
With that, Towa used her staff to show a red veil that began showing Vegetto turning Super Saiyan Rosé as he took off towards Beerus and tried to punch him, but his fist wound up caught by Beerus' hand before he then proceeded to throw Vegetto back, causing him to flip and land on the grass by his feet. However, Vegetto hasn't lost his smirk as he then clenched his left hand, focusing the divine energy required as it turned red before he pointed it toward Beerus.
"Heat Seeker."
Suddenly, he began launching 5 energy balls at Beerus, who then proceeded to swat one away only for it to explode and burn his hand, making him yell in pain before running over to the lake and then cooling it off in the waters as he then sighed in sweet relief. Afterwards, Beerus then dodged the other energy balls only to find that they were converging after him, surprising the Destroyer. Then, he had to dodge again while also noticing out of the corner of its eye that Vegetto was leading the balls with his fist and smirking as he sent the energy balls straight toward him, this time with only 3. However, Beerus managed to spin out of the way before they could explode, prompting Vegetto to use Instant Transmission to get close enough to Beerus and kick him toward the energy balls, causing them to explode on contact as a result. Once the smoke cleared, it showed a battle-scarred, singed, and very angry Beerus. He had so much rage in him that he then roared in anger as he raised his claws, ready to slash Vegetto, who was actually prepared for that as he dodged the claws gracefully and led him toward a lake before suddenly getting hit in the back by the last energy ball, which exploded and burned his back, making Beerus yell in pain. Vegetto then appeared in front of Beerus before punching him in the gut, forcing him to double over and strike back twice as hard, only to be knocked into the waters of the lake with Vegetto's swift punch as Broly, Paragus, Kale, Caulifla, Cabba, and Artich grew impressed just as Champa and Vados grew very interested.
"Wait, what's that? Is that what actually happened?"
"It would appear that Vegetto is a bigger match for even your brother, Lord Champa."
This made Champa ecstatic as he spoke.
"Oh, I do not want to miss this! Now, where's that food called 'popcorn?'"
Vados was able to take care of that as she summoned a bag of it with her staff and spoke.
"Here you go, my lord."
With that, Champa took a handful and ate it before he commented on the taste.
"Oh, wow! So crunchy and buttery! Two good things in one day?! I don't know how this can get any better!"
In the footage, Vegetto only smirked before both rivals dashed toward each other with punches and kicks blazing before both blocked each other. Then, Vegetto swept Beerus' feet from underneath and tried to punch him only for Beerus to catch his punch with his leg before throwing him towards the lake. The Saiyan fusion only managed to stop himself from falling by powering up before Beerus then appeared right in front of Vegetto and land as many punches on Vegetto's gut, making him double over, before Beerus then punched Vegetto in the face, sending him crashing into he waters of the lake. Beerus, however, knew that the fight was far from over.
"Come on out! I know a big punch like that couldn't keep you down forever!"
In response, Vegetto emerged with a crimson light around his Super Saiyan Quartz form as his veins were bulging out of his muscles, making the crowd surprised while Cumber grew curious with a growl as Cooler spoke.
"Exactly how much power does he possess even now? At this rate, Akamu may very well be as good as dust."
After that, Vegetto quickly appeared in front of Beerus before punching him in the gut twice as hard, making him cough out blood, before then striking him in the head, following in pursuit and then preparing one of his signature moves.
"SUPER GALICK GUN!"
With that, Vegetto fired it at point blank range to Beerus, who was yelling in both surprise and agony before the blast detonated, sending Beerus crashing to the waters of the lake. Although, Beerus did survive, he was apparently knocked unconscious and shown to be floating on water as he was bleeding, worrying Whis.
"Oh, my goodness! Hold on, my lord!"
In a panic, Whis hurried over to him before he began healing him. Meanwhile, Vegetto then powers down, dropping out of his apparent Kaioken boost as Champa applauded him.
"Bravo! Bravo! With skills like yours, we don't even need to worry about being eliminated! Again, I say bravo!"
Vegetto smirked at Champa as Towa finished the footage.
End Super Music: "Birth of a God"
As the footage ended, Kale now knew for certain that she needed Super Saiyan Rosé as she spoke to him.
"Excuse me. Is,l that possible for me to get Super Saiyan Rosé?"
Hearing this, Vegetto stood up as he gave her the details.
"There's more to it than just getting it. You need to meditate in order to maintain it because of how potent the divine energy is compared to Azure. Even then, you need to condense that energy when you do succeed and make a simple energy orb inside your body while focusing on a positive emotion. That's how you can achieve it."
"Really? That's all I have to do?"
"Well, not right now. First, I'll need to find the Super Dragon Balls from my timeline. And while I do that, I'm gonna get two more recruits that I think you know very well, what with the splinter in Trunks' Timeline. Towa, if you please..."
With that, Towa went to a point in time where Black and Zamasu were with Omega Shenron as he spoke.
"Play time is over."
Suddenly, they vanished, leaving him on his own before they appeared on Planet Sadala, making them shocked as they stood before the group while Broly and Paragus were shocked at her abilities. Black and Future Zamasu, however, were only concerned about their destination.
"What?! Where in the multiverse are we?!"
"And why are we not in Trunks' timeline?"
Vegetto explained as he spoke.
"In case you haven't noticed, I'm here to keep my promise about teaching you a few specifics, the Kaioken included."
This made Black and Future Zamasu excited as the latter spoke.
"Oh, is that all?"
"But... I'm also going to teach you some teamwork. Trust me, you're gonna need it. Akamu's broken out of prison and he's trying to destroy the multiverse as we know it."
As Black grew shocked at this, he also remembered the stranger that came from the portal he himself had made.
"That figure... he told me he sought out peace."
"Well, it's clear that he has a very skewed perception of peace."
With that, Future Zamasu turned to Towa.
"Which brings us back to an important matter. How did we get here?"
"Simple. I'm the one who brought you here. If you and Black stayed, you would have fused. And while you had the advantage back then, it also made you weaker because if your different physical abilities like invincibility. It's only made the fusion half-invincible. So, you would've been bested by Jiren, a warrior stronger than his Universe's Destroyer, before the candidate for him Destroyed the both of you."
This shocked the both of them before Black spoke.
"So, it seems we owe you one."
Vegetto smirked as he spoke.
"So, I'm guessing you know what that flavor is, don't you?"
"Not quite."
"It's quite simple, really. As part of your mission to fight Akamu, you're gonna participate in the Tournament of Power."
This made Black and Future Zamasu confused as they widened their eyes before the former spoke.
"What's the story behind it?"
"Well, wait'll I tell you."
As Vegetto explained the situation, Caulifla noticed two bite marks on Kale's neck, making her shocked before she spoke.
"Uh, Kale? Did you and Broly just... hit it off?"
"Huh?"
As Kale looked at her marks, she blushed before answering.
"Oh! Well, yeah. And... that felt really nice."
Although Kale felt that way, Caulifla was beginning to seethe with rage as he glared at Broly before she shouted, causing Vegetto, Black and Future Zamasu to notice them.
"THAT DOES IT! YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!"
With that, Caulifla ambushed Broly as they fought in a big cloud made from their fighting before Artich went over to Kale as Cabba and Paragus tried to stop the fighting.
"Caulifla! I'm sure there's a good explanation!"
"Get your hands off my son!"
Artich then leaned over to her as he spoke quietly.
"How long do you think it'll take before she realizes you bit him, too?"
"Maybe once she calms down."
As they fought, Caulifla pulled on Broly's hair as he spoke.
"Hey! Stop messing with my hair!"
"Like you can even tell!"
This made Kale and Artich laugh nervously as they continued.
Back in Universe 7, Gogeta and Ize stood face-to-face, grinning at each other, before they darted towards each other and clashed with their fists, making a shockwave that could've destroyed the Capsule Corp. building were it not for Whis' staff. As their fight continued, they created multiple shockwaves. However, unknown to Gogeta, Ize was calm and focused on his instinct, trying to absorb the heat from his foe's current power. As a result, he only left himself open before being punched in the gut and face. Ize didn't let that faze him and saw this as an opportunity to retaliate by catching his fists and feet by instinct, surprising Gogeta as Ize delivered two gifts to his gut, making him spit out blood before Ize he retaliated with a headbutt to his face and a hard kick to his gut that knocked him farther away before proceeding to punch him in the face, gut, and in one of his eyes. However, it wasn't to last as the last punch go caught by his hand. In an attempt to force him to let go, Gogeta tried kicking him in the gut, only for his tail to catch his feet before getting punched in the gut again, making him double over in pain before Ize proceeded to deliver a drop kick to him, only for Gogeta to block this by crossing his hands into a defense position, although he still got thrown back. As the two of them breathed hard from their last fight, Gogeta noticed that Ize's only eye remaining is silver while having a silver aura around him. With that, Ize chuckled at him before he spoke.
"Wonderful! So this is Ultra Instinct. Xicor aside, no one has ever gave me such a great fight."
Gogeta couldn't agree more about his opponent as he spoke with a smile.
"You're not so bad yourself. Not only were you able to go toe-to-toe with me, but you managed to learn Ultra Instinct yourself. In fact, you might be a worthy opponent for me."
This made Ize smile as he closed his eye.
"That's refreshing to hear. But I have business to attend to."
Suddenly, he disappeared before appearing behind Goku and giving a karate chop in the neck to him, making him pass out before teleporting in front of Demigra before he spoke.
"It's time to leave."
This made Demigra nod before he teleported, leaving Gogeta amused while Beeerus began to panic as he screamed.
"THIS IS AWFUL! HOW ARE WE GOING TO WIN WITHOUT GOKU?! OH, WE'RE ALL DOOMED!"
With that, Ize and Demigra appeared in the Demon Realm with Goku unconscious as they walked to Akamu's palace with Demigra and Ize smiling.
"The worst event to come has happened. Goku has been captured by Ize and Demigra. What is their nefarious plan for Goku? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Super!"
