Chapter 13: "Protect the Divine Maiden!; Destroy Mareth"

Play Super Music: "Fierce Battle Against a Mighty Foe"

At Universe 6, Sareta glared daggers at Mareth, who grew irritated that she had delayed his plans as Caulifla, Kale, and the soldier looked on.

Mareth: "I don't know how you've managed to stop me, but I assure you, it's a mere setback."

Sareta: "Maybe, but a setback is all I need."

With that, Sareta summoned her aura blade on her right hand before charging at Mareth, who summoned his own aura and darted at her. Instantly, they clashed their auras first before they engaged in close combat. One example is that when Sareta caught Mareth's blade, she knees him under his chin, using the momentum, Mareth attempted to slice her from under, only for her to dodge it before continuing on. As the battle occurred, Caulifla watched, completely awestruck while Kale saw this and felt suspicious. Just then, Kale and Caulifla noticed Champa and Vados appearing with Artich and 21 in a cube. Unfortunately, Mareth had noticed this as well and took the moment to take his leave.

Mareth: "I'm dreadfully sorry to leave, but I have important matters to attend to."

As Mareth took off, Sareta and Caulifla intermittently complained.

Sareta/Caulifla: "Hey! Get back here!"

Unfortunately, Mareth had already retreated to the portal and vanished.

Sareta instantly shouted in frustration.

Sareta: "Mareth!"

As Sareta panted angrily, Kale grew nervous, but nonetheless, tried to find out who she is and why she was acting this way.

Kale: "Uh, excuse me?"

Sareta turned to her as she calmed down before replying in a monotonous tone.

Sareta: "What?"

Kale: "Well, uh... I just wanted to know... who are you?"

Just then, Caulifla ran toward her like a fangirl, much to Kale and Sareta's surprise.

Caulifla: "I'll tell you who she is; a really cool Saiyan, that's what!"

Confused, Sareta blinked her eyes.

Sareta: "Uh, who is she?"

Just then, Sareta heard Champa clearing his throat.

Champa: "Ahem! I do believe you're in the middle of something, but those two want to do it with you, so go do what you like."

Sareta noticed Champa and drew a glare.

Sareta: "Well, well, look who it is; the selfish God of Destruction Champa."

Hearing this, Champa froze before growling and snapping at her.

Champa: "Selfish?! You dare call a God of Destruction selfish?!"

Sareta: "Well, what else fits your description? Oh, wait. How about fat?"

Caulifla knew very well the reputation of the God of Destruction and grew very impressed by Sareta's smack talk while the victim only grew more angry.

Champa: "If you don't take those words back, it'll be the end of you..."

Sareta: "Whatever. I'm in the middle of something, so can you not talk to me? Thank you."

Champa began growling even more so as Vados spoke to her.

Vados: "Mareth's already gone back, hasn't he?"

Sareta: "Yeah, so like I said, I should get back to it."

Vados: "Why, that's not nearly fast enough."

Sareta: "Huh?"

Vados: "At the rate Mareth travels, he could get there in 10 seconds flat. Of course, you could use your Time Ring and go after him yourself."

Sareta began to suspect what Vados was suggesting.

Sareta: "Or?"

Vados: "Or you destroy this time's Mareth."

Sareta: "Don't you mean Champa will? He's the whole reason Mareth still existed in the first place."

Hearing this, Champa immediately began breaking down in a cold sweat, confusing Artich.

Artich: "What are you talking about?"

Sareta: "You said Mareth disappeared for some reason, right? The last person who saw to Mareth's 'Destruction' was Champa himself. But instead of doing that, he used him as a punching bag until Black killed him and his Supreme Kai."

Artich gasped in a bit of alarm before Sareta interrogated him even further.

Sareta: "It's true, isn't it? Well?"

That made Champa grow even more nervous before finally spilling the beans.

Champa: "Okay, fine! I did use him as a punching bag, but in fairness, Vados has just as much to blame for this! She's the one always telling me to exercise!"

Sareta: "But she never knew you had a killing machine under her nose the whole time!"

Artich: "So that's where he was, huh?"

Sareta and Champa turned to Artich, surprised by how level-headed he is.

Artich: "Well, that's okay. All we have to do is take him out. His data wasn't fully loaded yet, so it should be easy, right?"

Sareta: "Well, as long as we don't bring that sorry excuse into this, we should be in the clear. Let's go."

Hearing this, Champa began foaming at the mouth before Caulifla spoke up.

Caulifla: "Wait!"

Sareta turned back to see Caulifla in front of her again.

Caulifla: "Can we please come with you?"

Sareta: "We?"

Then, she saw Kale with her hands together, giving her a sad look. Then, Sareta just shrugged as she smiled.

Sareta: "Okay, fine. But you better not get in the way, alright?"

Caulifla did a fist pump while Kale just grew surprised and immediately ran to Caulifla and the others before Vados used her staff to take Sareta, 21, Caulifla, Kale, Champa, And Vados to their world.

As they traveled, Kale repeated her question.

Kale: "Anyway, like I was saying, who are you really? I haven't seen someone like you before."

Future Android 21: "Come to think of it, you haven't told me that story either. Can you tell us?"

Sareta took a deep breath before explaining.

Sareta: "Alright. My real name... is Kari from Universe 10."

That caught everyone around her by surprise while Vados grew intrigued.

Play Super Music: "A Bad Premonition"

Vados: "Ah."

Future Android 21: "You mean to tell me Black called you by your real name?"

Sareta: "Yeah. But that was a long time ago. In my time, I was a student under Gowasu when Zamasu first came here. As time went on, we grew... interested in each other. But... Zamasu was also becoming distant. One day, I found out why."

It showed Kari walking out of the temple to see Gowasu's corpse on the ground, Instinctively, she ran over to check on him, only to find he's been long gone, as a light violet slash on his chest was seen. Then, he began to disappear as Sareta broke down on the floor, crying.

Sareta: "He killed Gowasu in order to steal the Time Ring and use the Super Dragon Balls for who knows what. Some time after that, I decided to play his game. After he went to another timeline, I sought the Super Dragon Balls and used the same wish he did."

Then, Sareta stood before the Super Dragon Balls before saying the phrase.

Kari: "Emoc hitirof enivid nogarid dina tinarig yim hisiw, peas and carrots!"

Then, just as Zalama appeared, Kari demanded her wish.

Kari: "Give me a body of a race whose body expands in fighting power with each hurt inflicted upon them!"

Then, Zalama's eyes flared red before Kari's body changed, specifically her eyes, hair color and length. As she felt her face, she spoke in a different voice.

Sareta: "Hmm. I guess that works."

Sareta: "And that's how it happened."

Caulifla: "Hold up. Are you saying you're from the future? For real?"

Sareta: "Yeah."

Kale: "But if you destroy Mareth, aren't you going to blip out of existence?"

Sareta: "It doesn't work like that. And I'm glad for it, because Mareth owes me."

Then, Caulifla began to blush before asking her something.

Caulifla: "Uh... Kari?"

Sareta: "It's Sareta."

Caulifla: "Right. After this is over, and I know it's sudden... but can you teach me how to do that? That pink form?"

Sareta: "You mean Super Saiyan Rosé? Sorry, but that's out of my hands. You don't have divine energy."

Caulifla: "Well, you managed to get it. It shouldn't be that hard."

Sareta smirked at her logic.

Sareta: "Tell you what. I'll teach you that when I feel like it."

Then, she set her sights forward.

Sareta: "I just hope we can end this."

Back at Universe 10, Sen held the infant version of herself as Kari was brought up to date about where Mareth currently resided.

Kari: "So, Mareth got relocated to the sixth universe?"

Future Zamasu: "For now. But there's no doubt that Sareta can't hold him at bay forever. We should take this moment to prepare."

Kari nodded as she agreed before turning to Sen.

Kari: "Right. Sen, I need you to take her inside the temple and don't come back out until it's safe. Can you do that?"

Sen nodded before replying.

Sen: "Of course I will."

With that, she ran inside the temple with her infant self in toll. Then, Kari turned to Gowasu.

Kari: "You need to stay with her, too, master. If he kills you, the multiverse will be out of balance."

Gowasu: "Out of the question! If this Mareth is as dangerous as you say, then I very well can't stand idly by!"

Kari: "I wasn't asking."

Gowasu: "Neither was I."

Before they could deliberate any further, the dark portal appeared in their world catching everyone's attention as a certain figure emerged.

Mareth: "Greetings, Gowasu. I've come to begin the Zero Mortal Plan with you and those wretched pests."

Then, Mareth bore a wicked grin before speaking any more.

Mareth: "Is now a bad time?"

Back at Capsule Corp., Vegeta, Gohan, and Bulma trashed the robots while training.

Gohan: "Wow. I see why you train with those things. They must be top of the line."

Vegeta: "Of course, they are. Bulma made them after all."

Bulma: "That's right. Now, what do you say we pick up the pace?"

Gohan: "Right."

Back at Champa's world, Cabba was having a spar against a strange figure in a black coat before Champa, Vados, Caulifla, Sareta, Kale, Artich, and 21 arrived, much to his surprise.

Cabba: "Huh? Lord Champa, who are they? And what's my brother doing here?"

Champa: "Who do ya think? Apparently, he has guests. Two of them are from the future. The two smaller ones are your Saiyan buddies."

Then, Cabba took a closer look at them as Caulifla looked at him confusedly.

Cabba: "Wait a minute. Caulifla?! What's she doing here?!"

Caulifla: "Yeah, I'd ask you the same. This is where you go to train every day? Why did you never bother to invite me?!"

Cabba tried his best to reply. Fortunately, Artich jumped in for him.

Artich: "We'll work it out later. Right now, we're here to save you."

Cabba: "Save me? From what?"

Champa: "Well... you see... apparently, I brought a killing machine for you to use as a punching bag."

Cabba: "What? A killing machine?"

Artich: "That killing machine is the one that caused trouble in the future, Cabba. Well, his future self, anyway."

Cabba: "I really don't have any idea what you mean."

Then, the figure removed the hood, revealing a tan face with long black hair and a silver right eye, before he spoke.

Mareth (Incomplete): "Why don't I fill in the blanks? I was going to terminate Lord Champa and his Supreme Kai."

Everyone gasped in alarm, Champa most of all, while Sareta only tensed.

Cabba: "B-But why?"

Mareth (Incomplete): "They're the only obstacles that stand in the way of true peace."

Cabba: "How do you mean?"

Mareth (Incomplete): "I was created to locate the threats of the universe and eliminate it. After careful consideration, I've decided humanity is the main threat. As long as the creator and destroyer existed, they're sure to impede my plans. I can't very well allow that, now can I?"

Cabba tensed before replying to his brother.

Cabba: "I thought you told me you turned over a new leaf!"

Artich: "That's right, I have. That's why I stopped building him a long time ago."

Future Android 21: "And Champa took the opportunity to snatch him away and activated him ahead of time."

Mareth (Incomplete): "That's right. Besides, there is no new leaf; only Divine Justice. And it demands that I serve it well. Evil must be destroyed, no matter the price."

Suddenly, Sareta stepped up and got her fists ready.

Sareta: "I hate to burst your bubble, you robot, but there's no way I'm letting you get what you want!"

Then, Sareta lunges at Mareth as she turned Super Saiyan Rosé mid-rush and slashed at his chest, only to live a small scratch on it. Then, Mareth fired a blast at her, knocking her away. Then, Cabba took his turn and turned Super Saiyan Blue, much to everyone's surprise.

Caulifla: "What the—?"

Kale: "What form is that?"

Artich: "Super Saiyan Blue?"

Future Android 21: "How did he get that form, too?"

Then, Cabba charged at Mareth as he put his hands together, forming a purple orb of energy where his hands were.

Cabba: "Take this!"

Then, Cabba fired his Galick Cannon at Mareth, who swatted it away to the sky before kneeing Cabba and slamming his right hand onto his back, sending him to the floor, only for Cabba to recover. Then, Mareth was getting furious.

Mareth (Incomplete): "This charade is getting us nowhere. It's time to end this."

Then, Mareth formed a giant ball of dark purple energy from his right hand, catching Caulifla's worry.

Caulifla: "Uh-oh. That doesn't look good."

With that, Caulifla yelled as she unwittingly turned Super Saiyan and darted at Cabba who only looked on as Mareth fired the blast at him. However, Caulifla got in between them and was only able to hold back the blast as Mareth smirked.

Mareth (Incomplete): "Why do you struggle? In a moment, you'll be released from this pain. And then the multiverse will know peace."

Champa: "Like heck it will!"

Suddenly, Champa darted to the blast and pierced through it with his foot, destroying the blast and headed toward Mareth.

Mareth (Incomplete): "What the—?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Mareth's face ended up being kicked by Champa and his whole being sent crashing to the ground with serious damage, surprising Sareta, who got back up from Mareth's attack.

End Super Music: "Fistfight Battle"

Sareta: "Hey! Who said you could take over?!"

Champa turned his face to glare at Sareta.

Champa: "I don't need your permission. This is my mess, and for once, I'm gonna clean it up."

Then, he walked briskly to Mareth as Sareta blinked her eyes in confusion.

Sareta: "Okay?"

Goku, Beerus, Whis, Gowasu, Supreme Kai, Goku Black, Jiren, Kari, and both Zamasu's took notice of the dark figure that came from the portal behind him, the main source of the world's imbalance. The figure pointed his finger to Zamasu as he spoke.

Mareth: "There's only two ways this will end, Zamasu. You're going to step aside as I destroy humanity and you along with it. Or you don't, and I terminate you for your arrogance."

Goku glared at Mareth.

Goku: "You're making a big mistake by coming here, Mareth!"

Mareth then vanished from his position to place himself in front of Zamasu.

Mareth: "You were destined to terminate Gowasu to fulfill your Zero Mortal Plan. But, these humans decided to interfere with time once again."

Zamasu knew what that meant.

Zamasu: "No... Don't tell me that you're..."

Mareth: "Of course. I came here, because you yourself committed the worst sin of all: uniting with a mortal. Trust me when I say I'm doing you a favor."

Just then, Mareth vanished in front of Kari and gripped her shirt before vanishing to be in front of Zamasu.

Mareth: "The best way to rectify it is to eliminate the girl and her child."

Goku tensed in anger while Beerus raised an eyebrow. Zamasu tried to hide his love for her.

Zamasu:"You think I'd involve myself with this chaff?"

Mareth: "Don't bother hiding it, Master. I know you have a connection to her. She's holding you back. You must destroy her!"

Gowasu tried to stop him from going down that path.

Gowasu: "No! You mustn't!"

Mareth turned to Gowasu and glared.

Mareth: "Silence, old man! You will not speak to your god unless spoken to! Like it or not, Justice will be served!"

Goku felt otherwise.

Goku: "Not if I have anything to say about it!"

Goku turned Super Saiyan Blue and charged toward Mareth, who instantly fired a black blast through Goku, causing him to groan as he was sent flying to the other side. After which, Mareth then threw Kari to the ground, bloodying her face, and causing Zamasu to tense in anger. That was what Mareth wanted him to do.

Mareth: "Yes, Master! Feed me your anger! For like you, I am a god!"

Zamasu's eyes widened as he had a realization. Most of the mortals that had prospered and warred had one reason for doing so: Justice. They felt that because they were denied the things they sought after and because they were robbed of their most cherished, they sought justice against one another. It was like Kari had said before.

Kari: "We all have Light and Dark in us. It's our job not to let it overtake us. But.. most people down there became shortsighted and saw only their desires. Good or Evil, their desires eventually drive them into a place they can't come back out of."

If it weren't for Kari, Zamasu wouldn't have seen it and would've fallen to that same level. As Kari looked up to him with fear and a plea for help in her eyes, Zamasu's eyes tensed whilst manifesting tears.

Zamasu: "You... contaminated my chosen... with your vile hands... I... WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

Play Super Music: "Zamasu's Overwhelming Power"

At the same moment, his aura manifested into a blade and yelled as he fired multiple blasts at Mareth, who smirked as he vanished, allowing the blasts to head directly for Gowasu. However, before they could hit Gowasu, Beerus flicked them away before they could hit him. Gowasu turned to Beerus in alarm.

Gowasu: "Lord Beerus? Aren't you going to help?"

Beerus: "Relax. We've got a plan."

Gowasu: "A plan?"

Then, Mareth yelled as he charged toward Gowasu, preparing his crimson aura blade to slash at him. Zamasu noticed Kari vanishing in front of Gowasu and prepared his aura blade. Just before Mareth could slash through Kari and Gowasu, Jiren clashed his aura-coated fist with Mareth's blade.

Future Jiren: "The only sinner that I see is you. You can't stand mortals in general. None of what you're doing is ever for the sake of justice."

Mareth: "You dare lecture me, mortal scum?!"

Mareth's aura flared as did his blade, pressing Jiren down. However, as Jiren held Mareth back Zamasu's aura blade was rising steadily.

Zamasu: "As the gods create, so too do we destroy. This is the natural way of things. The proper order, if you will. But even we are not absolute. Your existence is definitive proof."

Mareth angrily flared his aura as he shouted.

Mareth: "TRAITOR!"

However, Jiren took advantage of that as he crushed Mareth's hand. In the process, Mareth's aura blade soon splintered to pieces, as Zamasu's blade extended itself.

Zamasu: "Never have the gods made a graver mistake, save for the failure to immediately expunge them from existence. And to think that I, Zamasu, would continue that same failure. However, Kari is not a mistake, but a blessing. You, on the other hand, are no disciple of mine."

Mareth angrily yelled as he attempted to slash at Zamasu with his new blade, only for Kari to suddenly appear between them and splinter it all over again. Mareth tensed in disbelief as he staggered back.

Mareth: "You dare contaminate the Zero Mortal Plan by involving this mortal and call it a blessing?! HOW DARE YOU ALLOW SUCH VILENESS?!"

Kari and Zamasu raised their blades to strike before they spoke to Mareth.

Kari: "Because the Zero Mortal Plan doesn't exist."

Zamasu: "And neither will you."

Then, Zamasu and Kari slashed their blades toward Mareth, causing violet and white energy slashes to split Mareth in half.

End Super Music: "Zamasu's Overwhelming Power"

Mareth's cleaved halves then bore a sinister grin as they reattach themselves into one.

Mareth: "That's where you're wrong."

Kari tensed in anger as Mareth explained.

Mareth: "As long as I exist, the Zero Mortal Plan will always be in full effect."

Goku smirked as he got back up.

Goku: "Like we didn't see that coming."

Play Super Music: "Beerus' Madness" (No Choir)

Suddenly, Mareth felt pressure pressing on him, almost as if it's trying to... erase him.

Mareth: "W-What's happening... to me...?!"

Goku: "Haven't you figured it out? I told you coming here was a mistake. What did you think I meant?"

Then, it became clear to Mareth as shock enveloped his face.

Mareth: "I'm being... destroyed?!"

Goku: "Bingo. Artich decided to stop building you a long time ago. Now that Champa knows about you in the present, you're being erased. And you won't hurt anyone ever again, let alone have the chance."

Then, Mareth bore a face of pure rage as he prepared a black aura blade on his right hand as he cursed Goku.

Mareth: "Curse you... Curse you... CURSE YOOOOOOOOUUUUU!"

Just before Mareth could strike Goku, Beerus caught his blade and placed his right hand in front of him.

Beerus: "Sorry, Android, but your luck has run out."

Then, back on Champa's planet, Champa placed his hand in front of the past Mareth, unaware of his actions being in sync with Beerus.

Champa: "Think you can get away with robbing me of my finest cuisine makers? You make me so sick."

Then, as both Mareths glared with such contempt, Beerus and Champa uttered the word of judgment towards both Mareths.

Beerus/Champa: "Hakai!"

Suddenly, the pressure completely overwhelmed both Mareths as when they yelled out, their bodies glowed purple and faded away from head to toe into nothingness until there was no trace on either one of him. On both Universe 6's Planet Sadala and Universe 10's Land of the Kais, the dark clouds have disappeared, as well as the dark portal residing in the 10th Universe as a result.

End Super Music: "Beerus' Madness" (No Choir)

With the deed done, Champa turned his head to Vados, Sareta, Artich, and 21 before he gave a thumbs-up. 21 signed in relief as she placed her head on Artich's shoulder.

Future Android 21: "Thank goodness."

Then, he felt a tug on his arm and looked to whoever was pulling it. Sure enough, it was young Cabba.

Cabba: "Excuse me, but can you tell me what just happened?"

Artich sighed heavily before gently removing 21's head off of him and placing his hands on his younger brother's shoulders.

Artich: "Listen, there's something you needed to know."

Gowasu stood shocked about the events that took place. All the while, Kari wanted to know the truth.

Kari: "Zamasu."

Future Zamasu turned to his past self and Kari, who was still bloodied as before, but in spite of it was able to stand up straight.

Kari: "C-Can you tell us what just happened?"

Future Zamasu held his head down in shame before Supreme Kai tried to explain as Goku, Beerus, and Whis walked up.

Supreme Kai: "Perhaps I'll explain. Much like Mareth said before, Zamasu was going to terminate Gowasu and take the Time Ring for himself, giving him immense power."

Both Kari, Zamasu, and Gowasu's eyes widened.

Zamasu: "What?"

Kari: "Oh, Kami."

Gowasu: "That can't be."

Supreme Kai: "I'm afraid so, my fellow Kai. But, of course, that was in a different reality. As long as Kari was with him, Zamasu's dark ambitions were sure to dissipate, but Mareth wasn't going to give it up anytime soon."

Zamasu: "What did his ambitions lead to?"

Supreme Kai: "Simple. Mareth mentioned earlier that he was Zamasu's disciple. One that shared his ideals. After that, his master used the Super Dragon Balls to become invincible and create a fake Goku. But, for all of his visions for the ideal Universe, there was one thing Marethnever counted on: his connection. Kari here has built it up so much that because she was hurt, Zamasu attacked Mareth to defend her. And due to his teachings, she was able to replicate his moves in order to do the same. So, in doing so, they provided the necessary distraction for both Mareths to be erased."

Gowasu turned to both Zamasu's and Kari.

Gowasu: "So, I trust you've seen the error of your ways?"

Zamasu still has his head down before Gowasu said his name again.

Gowasu: "Zamasu."

Zamasu tensed before answering.

Zamasu: "This whole experience was... disconcerting. Had I not learned the nature of my Zero Mortal Plan, I wouldn't have maintained my godhood."

Zamasu clutched Kari's hand tightly, out of worry that she'll be put far beyond his reach.

Zamasu: "Nor would I have been able to bestow it to one with whom I came to... care for deeply."

Goku smiled at Zamasu as he bowed.

Goku: "Well, I'm glad to hear that, Zamasu."

Zamasu initially scowled at him, but he's gotten tolerant of his rambunctious behavior, thanks in part to Kari's ability to smack an extreme amount of sense into the Saiyan deeply.

Goku Black: "I must admit, I am impressed, Goku. In spite of your lowly mortal station, you do rather well."

Goku: "Honestly, that's not how I felt."

Zamasu raised his eyebrows questioningly.

Goku: "If I couldn't defeat Mareth to save Kari, then I have a long way to go before I even get there. Starting with, do you want to fight me again sometime? If you want to, that is. If you don't, I won't bother you."

Zamasu smiled a bit in response.

Zamasu: "But of course."

Goku: "Huh? Really? You mean it?"

Zamasu: "Last time, I was too reluctant. I simply forgot how hard it is for mortals to restrain themselves. Even so, a good host does not disappoint his guests. Let's begin."

Then, Kari spoke up.

Kari: "Uh, hello? What about me?"

Considering her role in Mareth's defeat, Goku didn't see why not. Other than that, it occurred to him that he didn't really get to see her power.

Goku: "Oh, yeah. Come to think of it, I didn't get to see you strut much of your stuff. How about this one's between you and Zamasu? It can wait until after we make sure this is all said and done."

Kari grew surprised before she blinked her eyes.

Kari: "You're serious?"

Zamasu confirmed this as he put his hand on her shoulder.

Zamasu: "Not that I needed his permission, but you have reached that level, my friend. It'd be a privilege for me to fight you."

Kari smiled back at him.

Kari: "Okay, then."

Goku: "And Black, maybe you and I can train against Jiren."

Black smirked at Goku with pride.

Goku Black: "Oh, you're on."

Beerus still fixated his glare at both Zamasu's.

Beerus: "How do we know he won't just destroy her?"

Whis pioted a suggestion.

Whis: "Well, he did say he came to care for her."

Beerus: "Isn't that forbidden among gods?"

Whis began to get all romantic at this.

Whis: "Ah, the allure of forbidden love makes it all the more romantic, wouldn't you agree?"

Beerus immediately got sick of it.

Beerus: "Drop it, Whis."

Just then, Sen walked out of the temple, holding her infant self.

Sen: "Mommy? Is it safe now?"

Kari turned to her and smiled as she nodded. Sen began to be overcome with joy as she giggled whilst flying over to her mother's arms.

Goku: "Well, how about that? Things did work out, after all."

However, Sen couldn't help but think about Trunks and how well he's holding up and turned to Supreme Kai.

Sen: "Oh. Supreme Kai, can you take me and my family to Earth?"

Supreme Kai was confused at her request.

Supreme Kai: "Of course. But why?"

Sen: "I've made a promise to someone I have to keep."

Back on Earth, Trunks felt depressed to no end.

Future Trunks: "I can't believe this. How could I just let Mareth walk away?"

Mai noticed this and tried to cheer him up.

Future Mai: "Don't worry about it, Trunks. Sareta is taking care of that right now."

Future Trunks: "Yeah? She wouldn't have had to if I had just taken him out. Father and Gohan wouldn't have been this weak. I'm sure of it. They'd have stopped Mareth by now."

Future Mai: "Trunks..."

Suddenly, Supreme Kai, Zamasu, Kari, Sen, and her infant self arrived in front of him.

Sen: "Hi, Trunks."

Trunks looked up in surprise to see Sen, as well as her family and Supreme Kai.

Future Trunks: "Sen? How did it go?"

Sen: "Mareth just got destroyed by Beerus. We're all safe now."

Trunks looked at her and began to look more morose than ever.

Future Trunks: "Even Sen did it better than me..."

Sen: "Trunks, what are you talking about?"

Then, it clicked. Trunks has been having doubts about himself. Sen knew that she'd come at the right time.

Future Trunks: "I don't see how I could possibly help anyone now."

Play Super Music: "Crushing Defeat"

Hearing this, Sen grew angry as she shed tears.

Sen: "Don't you dare say that!"

Trunks looked at her in shock as her eyes leaked tears like a waterfall.

Sen: "Even if he's gone, what would they think if they saw you like this, huh?! Tell me!"

Trunks only remained where he sat before Sen pulled her arm back and thrusted it at him.

Sen: "TELL ME!"

Suddenly, Trunks ended up blown back from his stump and onto the floor, earning a surprised look from Supreme Kai, Kari, and Zamasu before looking at her, beginning to glare at her, until he saw her tears.

Sen: "I made a promise! To make you happy! If I have to fight you, I will! Do you hear me?!"

Then, Trunks remembered the promise Sen made to 21.

Future Android 21: "There will be times when Trunks will doubt himself. I want you to be there for him and make sure he never gives up on any of us, especially not himself. Can you promise that?"

Sen pictured Trunks as a strong and courageous boy, who grew to be more of a mentor and older brother to her. She would always be by his side to make sure he would always fight. Of course, she would agree to it.

Sen: "Okay. I promise I will."

Fortunately, Trunks seemed to get the message before Sen spoke again.

Sen: "DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

Then, Trunks got up as he smiled.

Future Trunks: "It's weird getting a pep talk from a kid. I hear you loud and clear. You don't have to do this."

Sen looked up to him and eased her tension in her hands.

Future Trunks: "I shouldn't be doubting myself, especially not at a time like this. I will win. No matter how strong the enemy is."

Then, Sen hugged Trunks as she sobbed on him, giving him an idea of how painful it was for her to strike him like that.

Sen: "I'm so sorry. I just wanted... to keep my promise..."

Future Trunks: "It's okay. I don't blame you. That must've been the hardest thing you ever had to do."

Zamasu and Kari saw this and smiled as Sen made herself comfortable with Trunks.

Kari: "Well, that's my daughter for you."

Then, Trunks turned to see Kari and Zamasu.

Future Trunks: "You must be Kari. It's nice to meet you."

Kari: "No, please. The pleasure's all mine."

Just then, a pillar of light came from above and was about to land where Trunks and Sen were before Trunks jumped back from it and landed on his rump while holding onto Sen. As the dust cleared, Beerus complained.

Beerus: "Again, Whis?! That's definitely on purpose!"

Whis: "Please forgive me, my lord."

Goku: "You see? This is exactly why I said Zamasu or Supreme Kai should take us back! Ow, my butt!"

Just then, Gowasu, the other Zamasu, Jiren, and Goku Black arrived instantly, much to Mai and Trunks' horror.

Future Trunks: "Zamasu and Black?!"

Future Mai: "What are they doing here?!"

Goku Black: "You have no reason to worry. We're here on our own business, in no regards to the Zero Mortal Plan."

Future Trunks/Future Mai: "Huh? But why?"

Then, the other Zamasu walked toward Trunks.

Future Zamasu: "You go by the name of Trunks, is that right?"

Future Trunks: "Yeah? What do you want?"

Future Zamasu: "Well, from what I could tell about Saiyans, the only way to get your respect and trust is to fight, which is why I wish to challenge you."

That caught Trunks by surprise as Sen pulled on his shirt.

Sen: "I'd take him up on it. He and Black are good guys, now."

Future Trunks: "Really? Are you sure?"

Sen nodded confidently before Trunks turned to Zamasu.

Future Trunks: "Alright, then. Invincible or not, I'll defeat you."

Future Zamasu: "Well, we'll see."

Then, Goku turned to Jiren.

Goku: "All that strong energy is coming from you?! Man, I'm getting excited just thinking about fighting you!"

Black then turned to Jiren and agreed.

Goku Black: "Indeed. Just thinking about how far you'll take us has made me aquiver with anticipation."

Jiren smiled at the two of them.

Future Jiren: "What an honor. In that case, I won't be going easy on you, either."

Then, Goku and Black got in the same stance as they stood before Jiren.

End Super Music: "Crushing Defeat"

A/N: What do you think? I'm not naming names, but a certain someone asked about whether or not I've watched this episode. I assure you, I have, like the rest of you. It's only a matter of "Seizing the Moment" that's hard. As for Goku going berserk, he will be doing that, but with an added measure of 21 going berserk as well. That's all the info I can give as of yet. Enjoy. :)
