So Christmas is just around the corner! I hope you guys have a great holiday!

I went to the the Broly US Premiere and loved it! Loved it so much that I may try to fit it into my fanfic, in an alternate reality sense.

Please review!


Out in space, between the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy

Raizen was meditating in a region of the galaxy with no inhabited planets. Carefully raising his ki while keeping his mind calm, the eldest son of Yamoshi was trying to transform without going berserk again. And so far it was working.

Meanwhile, Karen was floating several miles away from him. They had just finished her training, and Raizen was now starting his. She was honestly interested in how Raizen trained.

Okay, first Super Saiyan….Raizen thought as he bolstered his ki for the transformation. He felt enormous power surging through his body, his muscles bulging, his black hair spiking up, and his iris color changing to yellow, and then disappearing. Green, flaming aura wrapped around his body.

"AAAAAAARGH!" Raizen roared as his transformation continued, making both the Milky Way and Andromeda shake. His hair turned from black to golden, then going back and forth from gold to green.

Karen gasped as she witnessed his transformation for the first time. If she thought Raizen was powerful before, she certainly didn't have an idea until now.

Slowly, Raizen felt his control slipping and his mind feeling with uncontrollable, primal desire to fight. The more he tried to fight against that primal urge, the less effective it was. His heartbeat started to beat louder like the last time he transformed.

"Stop this at once!" The Saiyan felt a hard whack to his head, and his transformation was immediately aborted. After shaking his head, he looked up and saw the Allfather of New Genesis himself standing in front of him. Standing behind him was the New God Orion, his nephew and adopted son.

Lowering his ki, Raizen took a big breath and relaxed his body. "Allfather Izaya. Must say I didn't expect you here. What's it been, two years?"

"Do you realize what you almost done?" Izaya snapped, ignoring Raizen's greetings. "Your transformation nearly tore a hole in this universe!"

Raizen merely grunted. "Wasn't my intention..." How the hell does my father enter his TSSG so effortlessly then...it doesn't make any sense…

"Expected guests?" Karen floated next to her teacher, facing

"Your presence in this universe is only because of an impending war." Orion growled. "If you weren't need, then you wouldn't be here."

"Big talk from a godling…" Raizen scoffed. "Anyway, why are you two here? Just to bother me?"

"No, because of her." Izaya pointed his golden baton as Karen.

"Me?" Karen asked. "What did I do?"

"You crossed over from another universe!" Orion growled and glared at Raizen. "You're a time-patroller! Isn't it your job to stop space-time disturbances like her?"

"How did you even know that I was from another universe?" Karen asked.

"We New Gods are above normal space-time Flow." Izaya answered. "But back to my son's question, Time Patroller."

Raizen scratched his head. "Well, technically you're right...but Karen was sent here by Indra. I don't know what would happen if I did send her back. Who knows? Maybe he'll even visit New Genesis."

Izaya and Orion looked worried for a bit before returning to their normal selves. "Very well." Izaya spoke. "But know this child." He turned to Izaya. "Your presence here endangers all of reality. You should go back to your own home." Then Izaya opened a Boom Tube and left with his son.

"Jerk. So, Raizen, are you sure that we should stay away from Earth?" Karen asked Raizen.

"You can go back if you want." Raizen grunted, looking at his fist. "At this rate, I'm more liable to destroy Earth than protect it, with my lack of control. In fact, it might be safer for you if you did..."

Karen thought for a bit, then answered. "I'll go with you. Besides, you still have to train me."

"Hmph, fine." Raizen grunted. "Then do you mind if we go somewhere very far away?"

"Where?" Karen raised her eyebrow.

"My home." The son of Yamoshi grunted as he took out a time patrol badge from his pocket. "There's only one person who can help me; my father."

"What about your mission?" The female Kryptonian put her hand on her hips.

"My friends can handle it for now. But I have to deal with my issues before things escalate." Raizen answered as he activated the badge, creating a portal. "Come on. Or are you scared?"

Karen chewed her lip. She was supposed to be hunting for this speedster so that her universe could be saved. But staying here wouldn't help her much as all. "No, I'm not. Come on! Let's go already!" She grabbed Raizen's arm and dragged him into the portal.

As soon as they entered the portal, they were sucked through a giant tunnel of ever-changing images and light.

"Uh, Raizen...what's going on?" Karen asked.

"I don't know!" Raizen asked. "This never happened before!" The two of them were then sucked through the tunnel uncontrollably.

"Hold on!" Raizen grabbed Karen's hand and wrapped them with his green aura to try to stop their momentum, but to no avail. They felt as if they were on an unending, winding rollercoaster for unknown period of time until they finally stopped.

"I see Chronoa didn't warn you..." A voice spoke behind them, and the Saiyan and Kryptonian turned around, to see a familiar face. "Travel between multiverses has become more difficult."

"You!" Karen pointed at the newcomer, the same person who sent her to this universe a few days ago.

"Yes, me." Indra Uchiha spoke calmly, floating next to them with his arms folded. He then turned to Raizen. "Indra, what's going on?" Raizen looked around. "And what is this place?"

"This...is the Speed Force tunnel." Indra explained. "A tunnel that takes you to every place and every time. Time Patrol has piggy-backed this tunnel to travel through space and time."

"Any reason that the tunnel's not working properly?" Raizen asked.

"The Speed Tunnel is fragile at the moment." Indra explained. "It's become more and more volatile due to certain events."

"Does this have to do with the speedster you sent me to hunt down?" Karen asked.

"No. But it may be related." Indra answered. "Where are you two going, if I may ask?"

"Toki Toki City. I need to ask my father about my new transformations." Raizen added. "I keep losing control, and I don't know why."

"I'm afraid your father won't be able to help you..." The Uchiha answered, getting the Saiyan's full attention. "For the source of the problem is not with you..."

"You know about my transformation?" Raizen asked. "How?"

"You forget that your father and my uncle fought together for eons?" Indra replied. "And Shinsou filled me in on his last encounter with you"

"Great..." Raizen grunted. According to Kal, the All-Slayer had knocked out Raizen cold with one tap.

"It's great that you two know each other, but can you send us to this Toki Toki City? We don't have time to waste here!" Karen snapped. "Otherwise, I can't catch that speedster you want me to catch."

"Be careful. I can leave you two here for all eternity." Indra whispered, getting both the Saiyan and the Kryptonian to be quiet. "I'll send you to Raizen's home..." He continued as he materialized his ethereal trans-dimensional blade in his left hand. "Just brace yourselves."

"Wha-?" Karen and Raizen was about to ask, but Indra sliced through the Speed Force Tunnel, and a blinding light ruptures from his slice, consuming both of them.

"Have fun." Indra's voice echoed as the two of them suddenly found themselves falling down an endless spiral before crashing onto a green lawn.

"Ouch..." Karen moaned as she rubbed her sore rear. Raizen had fallen on his face, and he was in serious pain. "You okay?"

Raizen muffled a reply as he slowly got up. "I'm seriously starting to hate those brothers..."

"Nii-san?" A cute voice sang as Raizen looked up. "Is that really you?" In front of him was a small girl holding onto a teddy bear.

"Tarragon?" Raizen gasped and the girl ran into his arms.

"Nii-San! You're finally back!" Tarragon chirped. "Mommy! Daddy! Raizen's back!"

Raizen's eyes refocused as he recognized his home. "Son of a...he did send me back..."

He was home, at last...


Gotham City Theater, Prime Earth…

Zatanna Zatara looked out at Gotham City from her room above the Gotham Theater. Her performance was less than an hour away, and all of her preparations were finished. All that was left was the execution. She just hoped that she wasn't over her head.

Flashback...Wayne Manor, Gotham City, Prime Earth

Batman sat in his Batcave in front of his supercomputer with Zatanna and Constantine standing beside him.

"So let me get this straight." Zatanna spoke. "You invited a super-powered teenager to my magic show so that I could seduce and kidnap him?"

"More or less." Batman spoke as he typed away on his computer. "Any other questions?"

"Bruce, that has to be the single worst idea you ever had!" The brunette magician scowled. "How is it that you got labeled the 'Best Detective in the World?'"

"She's right, Brucie-boy." Constantine smirked as he popped out a cigarette. "Can't you just call your League friends to help you with this? Surely you guys can take on a teenager no matter how powerful"

"The League and I are...in disagreements about this." The Caped Crusader noted. "Unfortunately they're too trusting of their new allies."

"And you can't take this kid by yourself?" Zatanna asked. "Bruce, don't you have contingencies for superpowered heroes and villains?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have enough info to make contingencies. And unlike the League, these people don't have qualms against killing."

Constantine raised an eyebrow. "Wait, you said 'these people'...how many are there?"

"As far as I know...three. One just arrived earlier this week." Batman spoke as he clicked on his keyboard. On the giant Batcomputer screen, three photo shots of Raizen, Trunks, and Gohan showed up. "From what info I did gather, each of these boys are very powerful, easily comparable to a Kryptonian. The one on the left is named Raizen."

"Oy, that's a scary fella…" Constantine gulped as Raizen's figure. "A bit of a savage, eh?"

"Like sexy Conan the Barbarian savage..." Zatanna spoke in a dreamy voice and got a strange look from both males. "What? Girls have fantasies too."

"From what I understand, he's the strongest of the three. Apparently he trained Superman for a year before Darkseid's invasion, and according to him, he can take on everybody on this planet." Batman spoke. Then he pointed to Gohan.

"Next we have their newest member. I don't know his name yet, but he's definitely powerful. Powerful enough to turn Martian Manhunter into this." Batman clicked on a key and showed a picture of a beat-up Martian Manhunter at the desert.

"Oh damn…" Constantine gulped again. "The Martian looks as if the devil himself chewed him out."

"To give context, Martian Manhunter was considered a foil for Superman when he was recruited to the JLA." Batman added. "Of course that turned out to be false considering Superman's added training."

"Uh...what form of training did the Boy scout go through, Bats?" Constantine asked.

"I asked Superman the same thing, and apparently Raizen taught Superman to awaken his ki, or life force...and apparently weaponize it."

"So that's how he was able to beat all of us, the JLA, and the Suicide Squad last time." Zatanna whispered. She and Constantine were both members of Justice League Dark, an offshoot of the Justice League created secretly by Batman to deal with the occult issues. Almost a year ago, Justice League, Justice League of America, Justice League Dark, and Suicide Squad came to blows, and Superman stopped the fighting near single handedly.

"Going on…" Batman now turned to Trunks. "This is Trunks, the youngest of the three, and perhaps the weakest. But he isn't weak by any means. On top of his own abilities, he also has a Green Lantern ring at his disposal." The computer then showed a Green Lantern Rin on Trunks' finger.

"A Lantern?" Zatanna asked. "So he's one of the Lantern Corp like Jordan?"

"Not exactly…" Batman spoke. "All three of them are from another universe. Another multiverse. Originally they came here to help save Earth from Darkseid's invasion. So why are they still here? What's their goal and objective? That I need to know before I can even start to trust them."

Zatanna shook her head. "So...I'm seducing the youngest of the trio and get info?"

"Seduce...enchant. Whatever you can." The Caped Crusader answered.

"Well...it shouldn't be so difficult..." Zatanna looked again at Trunks' profile and smirked. "No matter how strong men become, men are men."

"Thanks for that, love." Constantine scoffed.

"You're welcome." Zatanna turned to Batman. "So after I...entice him, what should I do?"

"Coercing him would only make us his prioritized enemies, which we don't want." Batman answered. "Get answers to these questions and then erase his memories for that day." He posted his list of questions on the computer screen.

Constantine cleared his throat. "Uhm, suppose that our girl fails and that blue-haired boy gets angry. What happens then?"

Batman looked behind him, where a giant capsule with a batman logo was place. "Then I use that..."

Flashback End…

Zatanna sighed as she looked down at the valet line. One by one, her VIPs came out of their cars, but no sign of her target. She wondered if he was never going to come.

Then, a from a black limo, her target walked out, looking very dashing in his black suit and tie.

Now then, she should get ready herself. She had a show to do and an audience to awe.

Trunk's POV

I shouldn't be here...Trunks thought as he pulled at his suit collar. He originally wasn't going to come, but when he told Gohan and Videl of his strange invite, Videl coaxed him to go.

You're still a teenager, Trunks. You should have some fun! Take one of Gohan's suits and go. Videl told him before literally pushing him into out of the temple.

While Trunks still had some reservations about this, a part of him wanted to come. This way, he could find out who's been watching him this entire time. Besides, he doubted that any trap could really harm someone like him. After all, he survived two Earth-ending apocalypses and one multiversal calamity. How dangerous could it be?


Fortress of Solitude, Prime Earth,

"I apologize Zod. It's what I had available, and I had tried to make it as comfortable as possible. The screen can call up entertainment from Earth, and I've left some Kryptonian text as well." Kal answered, facing Zod. As soon as they entered the Fortress, Kal and Diana placed Zod in a capsule in the Menagerie, a place where Kal kept dangerous animals he had found in space.

"I understand your concern." Zod spoke as he looked around. ""

"There's something that I would to say...in private." Zod glanced at Diana, and Kal noticed it.

"Can you give us a moment, Diana?" Kal turned to his lover, who nodded and walked away from Menagerie. "What do you want to say?"

"I knew of you, Kal-El. I had heard rumors that Jor and Lara had a child, a natural born." Zod spoke, looking at the Man of Steel. "At the time, I couldn't believe that Jor had attempted such...heresy."

"Heresy?" Kal frowned. "You mean...I wasn't artificially created." He had learned of his unique origins during his initial stay at the Fortress of Solitude. Jor-El, or at least his stored AI, taught the then-younger Kryptonian about Krypton's past and his origins.

Zod nodded and continued. "So you know of it. Before Krypton was destroyed, it had regimented population control. Every Kryptonian was born through our birthing chambers, recorded into our Codex Registry, and given a specific station within Krypton society. I was born and bred to be a warrior, much like your mother, while your father was created to be a scientist….Why Jor and Lara did it, I do not know fully. Perhaps it was their way of restarting Krypton's legacy. I myself tried to save Krypton before the fools on the Krypton Council killed us all. In that, your father and I were aligned, but much to my regret, he had different ideas."

"What do you mean?" Kal asked. Then there was a crash outside the menagerie, followed by a burst of wind whishing through.

"Kara? What are you doing here?" Kal asked, recognizing his cousin. Behind the female Kryptonian, Diana flew in as well. Even Zod looked surprised at her sudden entrance.

"I tried to stop her, Kal." Diana sighed, looking warily at the two inflamed Kryptonians. "But as soon as she heard Zod's name…"

"There are other Kryptonians on this planet, Kal-El?" Zod asked, surprised. "Why didn't you tell me?" Then he saw the Crest of Kara's chest and frowned. "So, Zor-El's spawn survived as well."

"Perhaps he wanted to keep it from a psychopath like you!" Kara shot back. "Kal, do you know who this is?" Kara asked, pointing at Zod.

"General Zod, my father's friend." Kal frowned, not understanding why his cousin was reacting so angrily. "Kara, can you tell me why you're reacting like this?"

His blonde cousin turned to him and took a deep breathe. "Dru-Zod here was behind a coup on Krypton before its destruction. He took over the military and almost overthrew the Krypton Council. Not to mention, his lackies nearly kidnapped you shortly after you were born."

"What?" Kal's eyes flashed to Zod, who remained calm. "You previously told me you only heard of me. Why lie?"

"Do not judge me so quickly, Kal-El!" Zod spoke strongly. "Yes, I retract my earlier statement that I didn't know you. I lied because I didn't want any past hostilities to affect the present. As for your kidnapping, I was trying to save you."

"Save me? From my own father?" Kal frowned. "Explain."

Zod looked at an angry Kara briefly before turning to Jor's son. "Your father and I had very different views on saving Krypton. Before Krypton's destruction, I had learned through my network of spies that your father had intended to send you to Earth. I couldn't accept that. This Earth isn't worthy of you, Kal-El. You see what these primitive humans are. Violent, insecure, and arrogant beyond measure. I believed that you were in danger and decided to save you, even if it was from your father."

Kara smirked and folded her arms. "Yeah, then Lara beat up your lackies and saved the day. Your mother was one hell of a fighter, Kal." She slightly nudged her cousin's ribs.

"It's true that I didn't anticipate your mother. Lara was one of the best fighters of her generation, and I was a fool not to include her in my plans. Why she even agreed with your father perplexes me even now" Zod spoke as he walked towards his glass-cell's wall. Kal and Zod were only a few feet separate from each other, with Zod's glass cell wall separating them. "Despite what you believe, all my plans have one purpose. Krypton's survival. And I failed in that charge. I will not fail again."

Meanwhile, Diana was watching the conversation and looked down at her lasso. With it, she could compel Zod to tell them his plan, but she wondered if she should. Kal turned to her, and they exchanged a knowing look.

"I think that's enough for today…" Kal spoke, choosing to end the conversation. "We can discuss this further tomorrow."

"Very well." Zod nodded. "I hope to continue our conversation, Kal-El, and put aside any disagreements we have between us...for Krypton's sake."

"Let's go, Kara." Kal touched Kara's shoulder. Kara, who was still glaring at Zod, uttered an insult in Kryptonian and stormed away, the Fortress shaking from her unrestrained footsteps. Kal sighed and followed Kara out with Diana. Meanwhile, the imprisoned Kryptonian General closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Today has been full of surprises for the exiled general, least of all meeting son of Jor and his rude cousin.

Outside menagerie, Kal, Diana, and Kara reconvened.

"Kal, you have to throw him back in the Phantom Zone." Kara said heatedly. "Who knows what he'll try if he stays here?"

"He's locked in the Menagerie, Kara. He won't be able to do anything." Kal assured her. "I'm sensing that your dislike of Zod is personal."

Kara folded her arms. "Are you kidding, Kal? He tried to kidnap you when you were a baby! Did you know how much distress that caused our family?" She sighed. "Also...Zod and my father weren't exactly friends, unlike Uncle Jor."

"Oh?" Kal asked. "Why?"

"Zod once called my dad a 'shallow shade of Jor'" Kara huffed. "He kept embarrassing my dad in public while practically befriending your father."

"I'm sorry about that Kara." Kal put his hand on her shoulder, but she shrugged him off.

"That's not what concerned me, Kal." The Girl of Steel snapped. "Zod was driving a wedge between our fathers, and he would have succeeded if Zod wasn't booted to the Phantom Zone. I don't know how he got here, but we should send him back."

Kal looked at Diana. "What do you think, Diana?"

"While sending Zod back may seem the safest course of action, it may not be." Diana noted. "If he got out the first time, he may be able to return again, at a different place. But if we keep him here, we'll know where he is."

Kara still looked unsure. "I don't know. If Zod is as half as lunatic as I remember, his being here is too risky."

"I agree with Diana. His cell is already upgraded to hold one with Kryptonian abilities. And I'll upgrade the Fortress security so that Zod doesn't try anything."

Meanwhile, inside the Menagerie, Zod closed and reopened his eyes.

"Soon. Soon...I'll bring you all back..." He muttered in Kryptonian as his eyes sparked with strange red electricity.


My last chapter before the break.

So with Indra's help, Raizen and Karen were able to return to Toki Toki City. Will Raizen get the help he needs?

What'll happen with Trunks? Will he fall to Batman's plot?

What does Zod's strange electricity mean?

Find out on next time!
