Dragon Ball Super

Universal Survival Saga

"Fight! The Tournament of Power Begins at Last!"

Chapter 1

First, it showed the other Kais and Destroyers exempt from the Tournament arriving at the Null Realm before the Grand Minister showed himself as he spoke up and then descended downwards.

Narrator: "Previously on 'Dragon Ball Super'! With eight universes going all-out in the Tournament of Power, participants from all over the cosmos assembled at the ring, located in the Null Realm accompanied by their deities."

"It's made of Katchi Katchintite. The hardest substance in the cosmos and even stronger than regular Katchintite. An element you may already know from the 7th. That's why the ring will do just fine.", Grand Minister explained.

"Yes, that makes sense to me.", Arak understood before the Grand Minister spoke up.

"If you're still doubting, though, you may test it.", Grand Minister suggested, puzzling the Supreme Kais and Destroyers.

"In fact, such an exhibition may be just what the Omni-King needs as I'm sure he and the others are quite bored waiting for the Tournament to start.", Grand Minister explained.

Then, Vegetto suddenly appeared.

"Oh, no, you don't. Neither of you are getting that exhibition match. Not without me, of course.", Vegetto grinned, surprising Future Yurei, Future 21, and Grand Zeno.

"Hold on, Seriously? Vegetto's here?!", Future Yurei exclaimed.

"What in the Multiverse could he be doing here?", Future 21 wondered.

"Wow, So that's Vegetto?", Grand Zeno spoke in surprise, earning nods from Future Yurei and Future 21.

"Say, do you think you can get the other Yurei down here so we can have a good fight?", asked Vegetto.

"Very well. I don't see why not. In fact, I'll go and get him right away.", Grand Minister replied before Future Yurei burst through the doors in excitement before touching down to the arena.

"No need! I heard everything and I'm in!", Future Yurei exclaimed before he then landed on the arena.

"Oh, my! You're quite the excitable one, aren't you?", Grand Minister chuckled slightly before it then showed Vegetto turning Rosé as Future Yurei turned Sapphire while the other 3 Destroyers emitted purple auras before the five fighters all began at once.

"And...fight!", Grand Minister exclaimed before they all vanished and can now barely be seen as the fight ensued as the Saiyan in Red carefully watched from behind the pillar to be absolutely certain he wasn't spotted.

Then, during the fight, Future Yurei and Vegetto bellowed before they both clashed with each other and then both began clashing again, inadvertently causing the ground to form a crater just as meanwhile, Liqueer ran up towards the duo while forming his own energy blade before Future Yurei and Vegetto took notice of it and then clashed against it with their own blue and pink energy blades before Vegetto dismantled his and took the opportunity to toss Liqueer aside only for him to stop near the edge of the ring just before Iwan floated up and then fired blasts at him as meanwhile, Arak and Liqueer started fighting each other before Iwan turned up in-between then and struck the arena with Future Yurei and Vegetto back to fighting each other as Future Yurei created several blue energy blasts before forging a katana energy blade and then set off a chain reaction, causing the blasts to head right for Vegetto, who only smirked before they made contact as Arak attempted to pull a kick only for Liqueer to intercept before Iwan appeared and began fighting him all around the stage, much to the Saiyan in Red's amazement before a blast went right through the pillar as Liqueer summoned two green energy blasts and fired it into one as Iwan fires a blue energy slash with his hands and Irak fired several orange beams from one orb while Vegetto and Future Yurei began preparing their own attacks.

"Super Galick...", Vegetto began.

"Final Kamehame...", Future Yurei began before they all shouted out as they fired them.

"HAAAAA!", Future Yurei and Vegetto shouted before the five blasts closed in on each other.

"My goodness.", one Supreme Kai spoke in awe.

"They've gotten rather out of hand.", another spoke up before the five blasts then collided with each other, creating an explosion, urging the Saiyan in Red to hold on as tightly as possible as the dust travelled quickly while the invisible demon procured a red barrier, guarding him from the dust before the dust went away as Grand Minister, who was in the similar barrier as the demon's, only it was green, watched as the Five fighters glared, although only Future Yurei and Vegetto panted chuckled at each other and readied their energy blades before Grand Minister spoke up.

"All right. Enough fighting for now, gentlemen.", Grand Minister spoke up.

Then, it showed Brianne, Sanka, and Rosa together before then showing the rest of the 2nd Universe, as well as the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Universes.

Narrator: "And so, an estimated count of over a hundred Warriors representing each of the universes gathered atop the completed ring, ready to put forth their best efforts. When the dust settles, will Goku, Broly, and the rest of his 7th Universe allies emerge victorious? The curtain is about to rise on an unprecedented battle royale."

Then, Grand Minister spoke up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, quiet, please. We will now hear some words of welcome from the Omni-Kings and Queen themselves.", Grand Minister announced before Future Yurei and Future 21 opened the waiting room doors.

"Thank you, everyone!", Future Yurei and Future 21 spoke in unison.

"This'll be so fun!", Zeno shouted.

"We've been looking forward to it very much.", Future 21 grinned.

"So, fight well...", Future Yurei began before he, Future 21, and Zeno all spoke in unison.

"...and give us a good show!", the Omni-Majesties finished before it then showed the excited Goku chuckling giddily.

Narrator: "The battles commence, now!"

First, it showed the completed stage before showing the 3rd, 6th, 11th, and 7th Universes' key fighters as Future Yurei, Future 21, and Grand Zeno watching in awe before showing the Grand Minister ascending from the inside of the pillar as the whole Multiverse looked on before the Grand Minister stopped and spoke up.

"For those who neglected to pore through the rulebook assiduously, I'll lay out the basic guidelines for the battles. The competition will last 100 tacks. The column in the center will descend as time elapses, and once it reaches the ground, all fighting will officially conclude.", the Grand Minister explained.

"Wait. A hundred tacks?", puzzled Marron.

"What does that mean?", Chi-Chi puzzled.

"I think it's roughly equivalent to 48 Earth minutes.", Piccolo spoke up.

"Really? But isn't it kind of short, though?", Cocagash asked.

"Special techniques are allowed, but the use of weapons is prohibited as are any lethal attacks or maneuvers. However, you may force your opponents off the ring, and must do so to win. For even if someone is rendered unable to fight, they will not be eliminated unless they're out of bounds.", Grand Minister continued.

"Well, that oughta give us a creative latitude to approach each fight.", Broly commented.

"Energy-based flight techniques that would prevent you from falling will not be accessible to you here. However, those of you who possess wing-like appendages will still be able to fly. Lastly, regardless of how wounded you may be, the use of restorative implements is expressly forbidden. And that concludes our review of the rules.", Grand Minister finished before Quitela chuckled as the fighters chuckled before Goku then spoke up.

"Okay, enough talking. Let's get this show on the road.", Goku spoke confidently before Gohan spoke up.

"Listen up, guys. We're gonna follow the Supreme Kai's advice. If we go up against that Saiyan in Red, we'll stick together and work as one unified team, got it? We should start out forming a circle with our backs to each other no matter what, we'll take on the Saiyan in Red's fighters in groups of two or more. Nobody fights alone.", Gohan strategized before Vegeta then spoke up.

"Heh. A cowardly strategy.", Vegeta spoke sullenly.

"Cowardly, yes, but also effective. After all, how else would my other self and I push you to the brink, forcing you to get stronger? All that said, I'll put this under consideration.", Black responded.

"Wow. They don't get along well, do they?", Pan puzzled before Bulla responded by shaking her head.

Meanwhile, Caulifla spoke up to Kale.

"Hey, Kale! What're you actin' all jittery for?", Caulifla asked.

"It's just that...as strong as everyone else is, Broly might be even stronger. He's just like me, too.", Kale responded.

"So? That's no reason to be scared, Kale. In fact, you should be excited.", Caulifla stated.

"But that's just the thing, Caulilfa. I... I... I AM EXCITED!", Kale chuckled, surprising Caulifla.

"Yeah! That's the spirit, Kale!", Caulifla spoke with a surprised smile.

Meanwhile, Goku then walked up a bit and then turned to the 11th Universe and focused mainly on Jiren, who looked back and then gave a scoff with a grin before Goku returned the same gesture before it then showed Black surveying the 9th Universe's mortals.

"Now, that's odd. These mortals' bloodlusts from the 9th Universe are nowhere near as tainted as the last time I saw them. Mayhaps, it's true what my former master said all those years ago.", Black contemplated.

Then, Bulla spoke to Pan.

"Okay, Pan. We'll take on the strong girls from our end, but if the Saiyan in Red or his warriors show up, we'll take them on, too.", Bulla strategized, earning a nod from Pan before Supreme Kai then asked a query.

"Do you think that our universe actually stands a chance of winning?", asked Supreme Kai.

"All we can do now is hope that's the case, which shouldn't be too hard with both Broly and Gohan's hidden potentials unlocked.", Elder Kai responded.

"You are correct to rest easy in this instance as we have not one, but two potential destroyer candidates on our team.", Whis assured, practically stunting Beerus.

"Are you nuts, Whis?! I can understand Piccolo, but Broly, too?!", Beerus exclaimed before Whis only laughed in response.

"Well, truth be told, he did handle the Energy of Destruction quite well and made it his own power, of we all remember correctly.", Whis stated as it then showed a brief flashback of Broly making the now bright green Energy of Destruction smaller.

"Oh, brother. I'm not sure how much of this I can take.", Beerus sighed.

End Super Music: "Beerus' Tea Time"

"Let's just try to stay close together, guys.", 18 instructed.

"Right.", Marron nodded.

"Understood.", 21 agreed.

"At last, your majesties, it is time to begin. Are we ready?", Grand Minister asked.

"Yeah, let's get this show on the road!", Future Yurei shouted.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!", Grand Zeno exclaimed.

"I'm ready as well.", Future 21 chuckled.

"Very well, then. Now, if all competitors from each of the 8 universes could assume their starting positions.", Grand Minister suggested before every fighter available did just that.

Play Broly Music: "Awakened Power"

Then, just as the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th Universes looked at each other with Goku chuckling, Broly was tensing out of seriousness in preparation for the incoming fights before the Grand Minister raised his right hand up and spoke up.

"Let the Tournament of Power...begin!", Grand Minister shouted as he did a chop with his right hand before Broly then bellowed before dashing off towards Bergamo, who was dashing toward him, as Shallot braced himself from the tremendous gust of wind from Broly's speed, before both crossed fists with each other while everyone else focused on random fighters as Basil fired his Shining Blaster, Frost fired a blast from his hand and Kaserale fired a blast from his right hand.

Then, as Broly and Bergamo clashed with each other, Bergamo spoke up.

"So, you're the strongest fighter from the 7th Universe that the whole Multiverse has been talkin' about, huh? Honestly, I'm getting antsy just meetin' ya!", Bergamo grunted as they clashed with Broly chuckling a little in response and then landing a punch to his gut while also propelling him near the edge of the ring with a swift, but small explosion of green energy that resulted from the punch, prompting Bergamo to regain balance before he eventually succeeded a second after.

"Huh. You really don't mess around, do ya?", Bergamo snickered slightly with Broly responding by giving a proud smirk before it then went over to the whole stage surrounded by several explosions as Grand Zeno looked on in extreme surprise while the 7th Universe's deities looked in in slight shock as its fighters could hardly believe the ensuing chaos.

"Oh, boy. Looks like it's gettin' chaotic out there, huh?", Goku guessed before he spotted Top fighting Magetta.

"Ah, found ya. There you are.", Goku spoke before he dashed off toward him, much to Gohan's behest.

"Wait, Dad, come back!", Gohan shouted before it then showed Top fighting Magetta in equal footing.

"Hey, come on, Top! Let's go, you and me, right now!", Goku shouted, attracting Top's attention before Goku shouted as he continued only for Ganos to get in the way and clash with Goku.

"Whatever happened to teamwork, Dad?! Did you completely forget about our strategy?!", Gohan shouted.

"Well, at least Grandpa isn't fighting the Saiyan in Red just yet.", Pan assured.

"She does have a point, Gohan.", Majin Videl agreed as she turned to Gohan.

"I know, but still...", Gohan began before 17, 18, and Vegeta flew off as well.

"Aw, come on, now. You too?!", Gohan exclaimed before Black began walking away.

"I suppose if everyone else is reveling in the combat of it all, I don't see why I shouldn't as well.", Black smirked before he then prepared a purple, transparent aura blade similar to Zamasu's and then dashed off, leaving the bewildered Gohan behind.

"What the..? We had a plan.", Gohan spoke in disbelief.

"Don't worry, Gohan. I'm sure they'll remember it when they face that Saiyan in Red or his hand-picked Warriors.", 21 assured.

"She's right. Besides, it's not like we didn't see it coming What with a bunch of egos in one place.", Buulma agreed.

"I just hope they remember the strategy when they face him again.", Supreme Kai hopes.

"Oh, good grief. What a mess.", Elder Kai commented.

"This is all very exhausting to look at.", Beerus sighed before it then showed Narirama, Caulifla, and Nigrissi firing each blast from their hands, creating massive explosions before Narirama emerged from one of them and prepared to spin around.

"Na...ri...rama. Nari...rama.", Narirama chanted before he began spinning around quickly and headed right for Brianne, Sanka, and Roas before knocking them away like bowling pins, much to Herez's distaste.

"Appalling! That brute attacked Brianne and the others before they even had a chance to transform, which is not beautiful at all!", Herez commented.

Meanwhile, Cabba and Dyspo faced a similar problem before they, too were knocked back, stunting Champa.

"That spinning move's a ditty trick, and why the heck didn't we think of that?!", Champa exclaimed in disbelief.

"Super Survival Mode! What a truly marvelous tactic.", the blue Supreme Kai snickered as he lifted his glasses up a bit before it then showed Narirama making short work of a few more fighters before Moscow beeped with Camparri translating.

"Lord Mosco says 'Show no mercy. Take the other warriors out by any means necessary. Mow them down, sweep them off the edge of the platform. Now.'", Camparri translated before Narirama then grew closer as the Supreme Kai spoke up again.

"With dynamos like Narirama on our side, I'm confident that the 3rd Universe will be the ones to win.", the Supreme Kai spoke up before Mosco beeped in response only for Hit to have already halted one of Narirama's arms, much to Champa's relief.

"Wow, nice hit, Hit! That's how you do it!", Champa exclaimed with joy before Basil did the same thing to the other arm with joy as he chuckled.

"Ha, Ha! Bravo! Excellent work, Basil!", Ro exclaimed before Basil and Hit hopped off with Narirama falling into the stage with a thud, much to Nigrissi's worry.

"Narirama!", shouted Nigrissi.

"What the..? Our best laid plans have gone awry! How could this be?", the Supreme Kai spoke in shock and disbelief before Mosco concurred with a beep.

"I guess that's what they mean by 'Pride goeth before the fall'. You got that, 3rd Universe?!", Champa snickered.

"Looks like their best plan hit a few hitches.", Future 21 guessed.

"Yeah. Did they even account for this kind of thing?", Future Yurei agreed.

"We have our first failed strategy!", Zeno added.

"It would appear the 3rd Universe's plan to clear the field has been met with inglorious defeat.", Grand Minister stated before it then showed a butterfly girl named Rylibeu fighting Basil, who quickly dodged with precise timing 5 times.

"Come on!", Basil exclaimed.

"You sure are pretty slippery, you mangy mutt!", Rulibeu exclaimed as she then prepared to charge toward him again before Basil then responded.

"Don't get too cocky! Just 'cause you can fly, don't mean nothin'!", Basil retorted before jumping up, causing Rylibeu to miss before Basil began preparing his signature move through his feet.

"Shining...Blaster!", Basil shouted before he fired a red blast with a kick towards, Rylibeu, who was quickly struggling to keep it from knocking her back, not knowing that her slight screams have attracted Broly's attention in the middle of his fight with Bergamo, prompting him to hold off on it as he dashed toward the scene, puzzling him.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!", Bergamo shouted.

"Here, have another! Plus one!", Basil shouted before firing another Shining Blaster at Rylibeu, successfully knocking her back towards the edge of the ring, but not before Broly caught her by the leg in time, puzzling her while surprising Basil as the 10th Universe grew surprised as well while Ro was shocked.

"Hey, that's not fair! Basil had her!", Ro shouted before Broly then tossed Rylibeu toward Basil, who panicked and tried to run away only for the equally panicked Rylibeu to land on top of Basil in a comical way on the ring with Basil's eyes being very swirly as a result.

End Broly Music: "Awakened Power"

"Uh... uh?", Rylibeu puzzled as Basil groaned dizzily.

Meanwhile, Goku saw what happened to Basil before Pan spoke up.

"No way. Broly just saved her and then tossed her towards that dogman like a wrecking ball.", Pan spoke in surprise.

"Ah, Contestant Rylibeu of the 10th Universe has been swiftly rescued just in the nick of time.", Grand Minister spoke up.

"Oh, wow. I didn't think he'd make it in time.", Future 21 spoke in wonder.

"Yeah, neither did I. But that just goes to show: out of all the Multiverse's fighters, Broly just might be strongest one there is.", Future Yurei added as it then showed Broly offering Rylibeu his hand before she took it and then was helped back up before Broly then took off towards Bergamo who got ready to continue fighting beforehand as he growled.

Chapter 2

Meanwhile, Rylibeu couldn't believe her eyes.

"Did...did he just save me back there?", Rylibeu puzzled.

"Did Broly just save one of my own fighters?!", Rumush exclaimed in surprise.

"If you ask me, I'm more surprised as to how this particular mortal was able to catch her in time.", Zamasu piped up.

"Yeah, tell me about it. He doesn't just have the best strength, he also has the best speed.", Elery agreed.

"Indeed. That could potentially make him a double threat to anyone who dares to cross him.", Gowasu concurred.

Then, just as Basil was still dizzy from Broly's successful one-time rescue attempt, he quickly shook his head and recovered before getting up, but only gradually.

"That fighter just had to come out of nowhere and slug me.", Basil spoke a bit drowsily before he then finished getting up just in time to see Napapa, a pink, pig-snouted sumo fighter, before he then began picking a fight with him instead.

"But never mind him. I'll settle with you instead! Get ready to be the first one to fall!", Basil exclaimed to Napapa, who puffed out smoke from his nostrils before beginning to perform rapid Sumo Slaps on Basil, who quickly countered them with his feet and kept his smirking composure.

"That's it, Basil! Go for glory! Push him over the edge!", Ro shouted before Beerus exclaimed to his team.

"Hey! Listen! Nobody from the 7th Universe drops out! Got it!", Beerus shouted.

"Yo, 6th Universe! Hurry up and knock the 7th out! Every last one of them!", Champa shouted, irritating Beerus as Champa roared with laughter.

Meanwhile, as Cabba and Caulifla looked on, 18 crossed paths with Cocette just as Shallot crossed paths with Dyspo before before both teams clashed with each other repeatedly while Vegeta bellowed as he was trying to break through another fighter's defenses, 17 guarded against the blast with his barrier, Black neck-chopped a fighter, knocking him out before then blasting him without doing any fatal damage, and Goku was still fighting Ganos before it then showed Broly then pushing Bergamo towards the edge of the ring with an explosive chest bump, causing Bergamo to struggle to get the footing right so that he won't fall before he succeeded and then gave a sigh of relief before growling as Broly chuckled before an exempt Supreme Kai gave a slight chuckle.

"Well, why don't you entertain us, 7th Universe?", smirked the Kai before it then showed Pan giving a determined look as Lavender, along with a few others, snickered as Gohan, 21, Piccolo, Marron, Majin Videl stood ready.

"So, you two lovebirds brought your daughter along, huh? Big mistake, because she's going to be the first one to be eliminated.", Lavender threatened, intimidating Pan as she growled before Piccolo spoke to her.

"Calm yourself, Pan. Your father created a solid strategy. Now's not the time to second-guess it.", Piccolo urged.

"Well, that's just brilliant. They're surrounded.", Beerus spoke sarcastically.

"No, it'll be all right. They have each other's backs and are facing their rivals collectively. Just as we planned.", Supreme Kai assured.

Then, Lavender laughed menacingly before yelling as he and four fighters charged toward them, only for the group to go up before Marron performed her special move.

"Solar Flare!", Marron shouted, blinding Lavender and the others.

"Special Beam Cannon!", Piccolo shouted before he then fired it before 21 fired a Kamehameha-Like blast before Pan, Gohan, and Majin Videl pitched in as well.

"Kamehame...Ha!", Pan shouted as she then fired it before Gohan yelled as he then fired multiple blasts from his right hand with Majin Videl then firing a small Vanishing Ball with a grunt before both attacks collided on them before the group landed back on the stage.

However, as the smoke cleared, the group grew slightly surprised as the fighters remained, snickering.

"What? We didn't even scratch them?", Pan puzzled.

"Those guys must be the real deal. If I didn't see why they were chosen to be here before, I do now.", Majin Videl guessed.

"Stay on your toes. We have to be ready for them.", Piccolo urged.

"You got it.", Gohan responded.

Meanwhile, Ro shouted to Basil a warning.

"Basil, look! Right behind you!", Ro shouted before Basil then turned to notice it and managed to hop out before Napapa could get a hold on him, provoking Basil to retaliate with a Shining Blaster but not before flipping backward behind the puzzled Napapa.

"Chew on this, fat boy!", Basil shouted before firing two red orbs as Napapa only prepares to contain them.

"Come on! Dosukoi!", Napapa exclaimed as he then began holding them back one by one as Basil prepared another blast.

"This is the end of the line for you! Down you go!", Basil shouted before firing a third blast, threatening to knock him off the ring.

"Enjoy the view...from the sidelines!", Basil shouted before Napapa places his fist in the ground as he still held them back with one hand before eventually tossing them aside just in the nick of time.

"Dosukoi!", Napapa shouted as he deflected the blasts before they exploded, much to Gowasu's relief.

"All right, Napapa! Way to hang in there!", Gowasu shouted before Rumush gave a bold chuckle.

"Well, of course he hung in there! Napapa is a renowned Dohyodor Yokozuna with a reputation for being an absolute wiz at the edge of the ring.", Rumush spoke before Napapa then did a sumo stomp with his left leg before raising his right hand and then speaking.

"Ah, much respect.", Napapa complimented before Zeno, Future Yurei, and Future 21 grew puzzled.

"Dohyodor, wha..?", the Omni-trio puzzled.

"A martial art indigenous to the 10th Universe. And a Yokozuna is the most powerful of the Rikishi, possessing great skills as we've just witnessed.", Grand Minister explained.

"Wow! That's really neat!", Zeno exclaimed.

"I agree. That's very interesting.", Future 21 agreed.

Meanwhile, Dyspo and Kaserale were descending downward to perform an attack as 17 got ready while everyone else was busy fighting the same fighters as Goku reflected the energy billets as fast as he could before Ganos then took off, puzzling Goku before he gave a slight annoyed groan as he turned to Top firing his move.

"Justice Flash!", Top shouted before firing energy bullets from his fingers before Goku spoke to Top.

"Yo, Top!", Goku shouted to him.

"Hm?", Top puzzled.

"Behind you!", Goku warned before Top turned and then saw Mulithim headed right for him before Top managed to block out the incoming attack before Goku finally noticed Jiren, who then turned around and saw him as meanwhile, Zeno then pointed to him.

"Whoa, you see Jiren?!", Zeno spoke in excitement.

"Yep, that's Jiren the Grey himself.", Future Yurei agreed.

"I think that from what we've seen so far, I think we can all agree:", Future 21 began before she, Future Yurei, and Zeno spoke in unison.

"The Tournament of Power...is so much fun!", the trio shouted before an orange fighter named Rabanra dashed toward Jiren, only to stop and eventually flinch before moving away the instant Jiren's eye gave a flicker.

"Jiren hasn't moved a muscle yet.", Cae spoke.

"Yeah, nor would I expect him to. That's kind of his shtick, the whole stoic thing.", Vermoud stated.

"But it appears the real competition may be that Saiyan in the 7th Universe by the name of Broly.", Cae responded.

Meanwhile, as Goku and Jiren looked at each other, they each exchanged grins to each other before someone suddenly grabbed him and trapped him in a hold, surprising Beerus.

"Oh, no! Goku!", Supreme Kai shouted.

"For goodness' sake, he dropped his guard again. That boy'll never learn.", Elder Kai sighed before Quitela snickered.

"Get a load of how ridiculously strong Nink is! I mean, look at those biceps!", Quitela exclaimed as Goku struggled to break free as Nink chuckled before the exempt Supreme Kai spoke up.

"Ironic. The mastermind behind this entire tournament will be the first one eliminated.", the Kai spoke before Beerus shouted to him.

"Goku, are gonna just let him handle you like a sack of potatoes?! You've got more power than that! Unleash the fury!", Beerus shouted to Goku, eventually got his arm free before punching Nink in the face only for it to have little effect as Nink only laughed in response.

"I love strong you more than weak you! Ha, ha, ha. The more you fight, the more I love you!", Nink chuckled as he applied more pressure to his bear hug as Quitela laughed before Nink started walking over to the edge of the ring.

"Hey, wait, are you crazy?! You're gonna fall off, too, y'know!", Goku grunted.

"Oh, that's okay, as long as I've got my strong little buddy with me!", Nink responded.

"Oh, great! He's diving over the edge and taking Goku!", Beerus exclaimed.

"Not a bad way to take out another team's best fighter. Wish we had thought of it.", Elder Kai commented.

"Come on, friend. Let's go to Other World together! Next stop, Other World!", Nink chuckled as he moved closer to the edge backwards.

"You can go there... all by... yourself!", Goku shouted before turning Super Saiyan Azure and then sending him back off with only Nink falling off as he screamed, much to Beerus' fears and Champa's confusion and Future 21 and Zeno's worry as Future Yurei gasped in surprise.

"Oh, no! Goku!", Future 21 shouted.

"Did Goku fall out?!", Zeno worried.

However, fortunately, Goku was hanging in there as his hand clutched the edge of the ring before lifting himself up and then landing back in the ring before powering down to base form.

"Whew, that was a close one, huh?", Goku exclaimed in relief.

However, Beerus was not pleased.

"What is wrong with you, Goku?! If you could overpower him with Blue, then why didn't you do it sooner?!", Beerus shouted.

"Sorry for giving you a scare, Lord Beerus! I was just tryin' to save my energy!", Goku apologized.

"That's all well and good, but if you lose because you're holding back, then what's the point of saving it?", Whis only sighed in response before Nink appeared above the spectator seats and then fell on a seat before speaking.

"That didn't go the way I saw it goin'.", Nink commented before Quitela responded harshly as he kicked him in the head, although there was no agonizing response from Nink.

"You think?! All you did was cost our team a man, you clod!", Quitela shouted before Grand Minister spoke up.

"Contestant Nink of the 4th Universe has officially been eliminated. Omni-Majesties, it is now time to turn to your godPads.", Grand Minister spoke up before both Future Yurei, Future 21, and Zeno each had their own godPads.

"Oh, wow.", Future Yurei spoke in awe.

"It looks so advanced, yet so simple.", Future 21 spoke before Zeno spoke as he tapped on the 4th Universe.

"Tap, tap.", Zeno spoke before it then showed a roster for the 4th Universe.

"Where's Nink? Where's Nink? Oh! Boop! Nink goes bye-bye.", Zeno spoke as he then tapped out Nink, leaving a grey area over his icon.

"I wonder who'll get knocked out next.", Future Yurei wondered.

"Me, too.", Future 21 agreed before it showed Bergamo panting as was Broly, but only twice as slow as Bergamo, while Basil and Lavender snickered while surrounding Goku, along with a couple of fighters from the 9th Universe as well.

"There sure are a lot of you here just to take on little old me, huh? That's okay, it'll make it more interesting. Didn't think it was going to be this much fun.", Goku grinned.

"Man, you're stubborn, aren't ya?", Bergamo panted.

"I'm not done yet. Not even close.", Broly panted, puzzling Bergamo.

Then, it showed the Grand Minister, the three Omni-Majesties, the spectators, and the fighters before it showed Bergamo, Lavender, Basil, Broly, and Goku before it showed the stage seemingly getting smaller.

Narrator: "With the 8 Universes competing, the Tournament of Power is at last underway. Which contestant will be the next to fall? And in the end, who will be the last warrior standing? The Tournament of Power has only just begun. 47 Earth-minutes remain until time is up! Next time on 'Dragon Ball Super'!"

A/N: So, what did you all think so far? Now, as I've said, if you have ideas for how the next chapter should happen in my story, feel free to speak up. It may take as long as this one did, though, since I was recently hired for work a week ago and started working 3 days later. Don't worry, though. Not only will I finish the next chapter for the Ben 10 Rewrite series next week, but, if anyone feels up to it, I also plan on making two crossover stories between Watership Down and Charlotte's Web afterwards, but with a light-hearted atmosphere. More than that, I would also work on an alternate version of the final battle in "Kingdom Hearts III". I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but let's just say that how it went down is not only unfair and unjust, but also has, as Axel said, "a couple of plot points that needed ironing out." And I trust it will be surprising, and equally inspiring to make fan art for for those who are fellow devaints from DeviantArt. Until next time.
