"Long ago there were only two universes."
In a dark area emerged the symbol of a Ying Yang: a circle with half of it white and half of it black with a circle of the opposite color in each side.
"One of light and one of darkness, kept in constant balance and harmony, but everything changed when the darkness sought to destroy the world of light."
From the dark area of the circle emerged black tendrils, claws and hundreds of creatures in the shapes of demons, dragons, and other monsters in every shape imaginable, while they were all silhouettes red eyes would appear on some of them and some had visible white teeth in contrast with the darkness.
"There was a war among the gods"
Everything became blurred but figures made of light emerged to combat the figure. they were in the shape of warriors clad in armor, some had wings. They were armed with swords, spears, and shields and they charged into an intense battle with the darkness. There was screaming, shouts of battle cries and the clashing of steel. Goku's voice could be heard and cut into the drama of the scene ,causing everything to pause. He was immediately silenced by Whis.
Goku: Ahh! They're fighting with swords! I bet I could take them!
Whis:It's meant to be symbolic not literal. Now where was I?...ah yes.
The paused scene resumed and then cut to black.
"and in the end only two remained."
Two figures came into view. they appeared as two dragons curled up into two separate balls.
"The dark god Aladjinn"
A dark figure in the shape of a shadow with what looked like smoke bellowing from its body, like it was seeping with darkness came into view.
"and his brother Zarama."
The other glowed with bright white light. It was a massive dragon curled in a circle with its winged arms extended.
"Since Zarama and his brother were connected, the Dragon god Zarama was sealed away in what came to be known as the Super Dragonballs and likewise Aladjinn was sealed as well."
A symbol was presented of the two dragons entangled together in battle in a spherical circle. As the figure spoke the circle morphed into the four star Dragonball.
"A plan was put into play with the goal of maintaining the balance between the light and dark. The Gods of Destruction, and their advisors."
a young child presumed to be Whis slipped on his robes. they were a little too big for him. Next to him was his sister, who also had a robe slipped onto her by the hands of individuals similar to them in appearance except clearly older and in higher positions of authority garbed in ceremonial looking robes. It seemed to be some kind of religious ritual. The two siblings had a small amount of water poured on them. They were then both handed small purple newborn kittens who had their eyes closed and appeared to be sleeping, yet their ears would twitch and sometimes they would rub their eyes as if restless. the one handed to the girl was slightly more chubby then then the skinny one handed to the young Whis.
"The other forces of Darkness were imprisoned, banished for destroyed. You know of some of them. When the evil wizard Bibbidi requested a weapon to destroy the universe the dark god Aladjinn presented his own son as a gift"
The lifeless figures of Majin Buu was held in a large hand, the arms and legs going limb. Another hand with large black nails used one of the long nails on its index finger to touch the forehead of Buu, causing its eyes to light up. The hand then lowered it towards an eager Bibbidi.
The scene changed. The small form of Buu, which the Z fighters had dubbed Kid Buu was attacking the West Kai in an icy wasteland. Their fight went under the ice but Majin Buu was relentless in beating down the West Kai, then from above a cliff formed in the ice. It was a massive orb of pink energy. The small form of Majin Buu emerged and flew off, moments afters the pink orb destroyed everything.
The next scene was Majin Buu's battle with North Kai, are with a sword, the Kai cut Majin Buu in half and both pieces flew through the air. The North Kai smiled at his apparent victory only to be surprised by the sight of Majin Buu's top half, floating upside down, extending an arm and firing a beam at him. North Kai was sent flying back and his sword flew through the air. He landed and skid on the ground, his corpse stopping to rest at the feet of Bibbidi.
"The only Kai to truly match Majin Buu in combat was that of the South. His muscle build was not just for show. He had been training."
The large Kai was attacked by the smaller Buu, bringing his fists down on him. He countered by grabbing Buu and head butting him. Majin Buu tried to kick him but the Kai countered the attack. Buu's next move was to extend his arm and South Kai dodged it and proceeded to rip off Buu's limb. He smiled a bit at his success. Buu descended down to the ground. South Kai threw the arm back at him as a sign of disrespect. He then vanished using his instantaneous movement teleport. Buu fired a beam at him but the Kai hurdled his own beam which cut straight through it. Buu dodge the move but it circled around to attack him again. Buu vanished as the South Kai got close enough to grab him and slammed down on the Kai with a kick from above. Buu's nearby arm,still on the ground then turned into pink slime and grew large enough to ensnare South Kai from behind. The blob was then reabsorbed into Buu and changed his form. His new appearance was much larger and more intelligent. He was now the form that had been nicknamed "Super Buu".
The next Kai was South Kai. He was slammed into a wall by an attack from the much stronger Super Buu. Super Buu fired a blast at him but Grand Supreme Kai teleported in front of him and deflected the blast back. This scared Super Buu before he exploded. Grand Supreme Kai then used an attack to slice the creature into many square shaped pieces. To Grand Supreme Kai's shock, Buu regenerated into a pink blob. The blob decided the newcomer was too strong for it and then moved to absorb Grand Supreme Kai. This had the effect of creating a new form of Buu. This new Buu was innocent and carefree, like the Grand Supreme Kai had been before the massacre had started. Bibbidi arrived to check on Buu's progress. He was confused at the new Buu that greeted him and believing the creature had killed all the Kais, chose to seal him back in his pod until he could determine what had brought about the change within the creature. South Kai hid and followed Bibbidi back to his lair.
Buu was back in his pod. Bibbidi was looking at it intently. The small wizard thought to himself, thinking no one could hear him.
Bibbidi:I should ask Aladjinn about what happened to him. At least with all the Kais dead I won't need to worry about Beerus waking up. The last thing I need is to piss off a god.
"...It's too late for that."
Bibbidi turned around and gasped at the sight of the last remaining Kai. The one he thought had been killed with the others.
Bibbidi:What!?
Bibbidi panicked and fired a blast with his magic but East Kai simply held his hand out and blocked it. The wizard was no threat to him without Buu. Bibbidi knew this and turned to face the pod in the hopes he could revive the creature. East Supreme Kai flew forward and slammed the wizard into a nearby wall. Bibbidi tried to speak while his throat was being crushed.
Bibbidi:A...ttack!
Two creatures emerged from the shadow, attacking East Kai from both sides so as to surround him. they had Ms on their foreheads. East Kai did not even flinch as they jumped at him. He was grabbing the throat of Bibbidi but he very casually lifted his fist without moving another part of his body. His arm twisted into a right angle as he punched the creature. His fist cut through the creature's head like butter, leaving a huge opening in its head as it cut through like a knife. The creature's head then exploded as the rest of its body fell backwards. With the same hand he moved it across his body to shoot the other one. It was vaporized immediately. While his hand was still smoking he moved to point it directly at Bibbidi and fired. There was a massive explosion of energy. Bibbidi screamed as his body was destroyed and the area along with it. The smoke cleared and East Kai sighed in relief. However he then turned and gasped. The Sealed form of Majin Buu remained intact.
East Kai: It's not even scratched! What am I gonna do with it?
"The sealed Majin Buu was taken to earth and hidden by East Supreme Kai. He did his best to safeguard the universe but ultimately in the absence of the other Supreme Kais, lesser Kais were forced to take the roles of guarding the universes."
Goku: Like sealing Bojack away!
Whis:...yes...I suppose.
The pink demon remained imprisoned in its shell in the void of space. It waited for a moment and then burst open to reveal the fat Majin Buu who let out a noise in delight at his freedom. He then split into two beings, his normal self and a skinny gray form. The gray form then zapped its chubby pinkish counterpart, turning it into chocolate and eating it. It then became its muscular form once again, then screamed and became its original form. The scene shifted to the creature struggling to holds back a large sphere of blue energy. Goku was pushing against the sphere.
Goku: You're strong.
He became a Super Saiyan.
Goku:See ya.
With the added strength of the transformation, Goku finally overcame Majin Buu.
"Maybe you'll come back some day, as a better person I hope"
Majin Buu screamed as he was destroyed, his body breaking up into pieces as it was consumed by blue energy. In the brightness of the blue energy, a silhouette could be seen taking shape. It was the silhouette of Uub. The image faded and was replaced with another.
Whis:All other Shadow Dragons were sealed away or destroyed.
Janemba roared and seemed to be running away from something that was pulling him towards it, but what it was could not be seen. He was trying to fly away but to no avail. His body broke into multicolored blocks one by one being pulled away from his body before his entire body was sucked towards the unseen threat. The blocks floated in darkness and turned into drops of a thick black liquid. They accumulated and the last thing that could be seen was the dark liquid residing in a tank.
The giant form of Hirudegarn turned into stone. In what seemed like an instant but was really closer to millions of years later, Hirudegarn burst out of the stone, turned to smoke and was sealed into a music box. It then emerged, roared and then seemed to be destroyed completely.
Demon God Demigra laughed and as he laughed his image, as if frozen, became entombed in a diamond which floated in a purple void. The Supreme Kai of Time could be seen holding her hands out, having just cast the spell. The image then shifted back to Demigra screaming as he was destroyed.
Other shadows and monsters from before were seen being sucked into different parts of the universe.
On Namek a group of Namekians assembled in a circle around a group of Dragonballs. Two of the shadow creatures identified by their shape as Omega Shenron and Porunga were seen being sucked into the Dragonballs by the ritual performed by the Namekians.
whis:you've no doubt heard this one before.
"doomed planet"
Namek shook with intense force. the scene shifted to Planet Vegeta exploding.
"Last Hope"
Bardock and Gine looked at their son in the pod, through the glass. the child looked at them with a look almost of curiosity.
"You have to Survive"
Bardock's voice was not his own. Then the scene changed. He did not recognize the Namekian before him. He asked his mentor.
Whis was next to him. Goku was confused.
"This is not the story you know, and yet it is in many ways...your story."
"Loving Parents"
an old man holding up a baby with a monkey tail, and distinctive hair. The baby looked at the old man and then smiled.
Whis: This is one of many cycles we glimpse in the multiverse, but it is only fair to let you know that this cycle did not start with you, nor will it end with you.
The scene changed to Namek. Intense storms rocked the planet. Lightning shook the skies,and a Namekian child was placed into a rocket.
"Forgive me my son."
The Namekian touched the child's heart and a dark haze of energy lit up.
"this is your gift and your curse."
He backed away and the ship shot off into space.
Goku:Who's that?
Whis: You know him as Kami.
Goku:what! that's Kami!?
Whis:His father believes his world is about to perish. He has taken inspiration from a tale he has heard many times.
The world shook with the storm.
Whis:He is wrong.
The storm stopped, the clouds slowly parted and the suns of the planet shined on everything. The Namekian fell to his knees and placed his hands on his head. He then bent down and began weeping.
Goku:what was that energy?
Whis:Katas granted his son the power to create the Dragonballs when he believed the planet would be destroyed. Unknown to Kami he also gave him the power of the dark ones.
The scene changed. Kami was a younger Namekian and resembled Piccolo. He was alone in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He was looking in a mirror and seemed enraged.
Kami:I don't understand! How can he not see the consequences !? If Garlic becomes Earth's Kami!? He will abuse his position! How can he be so blind!?
The Namekian smashed his first on a mirror. He then looked at his demonic expression he had in the mirror and then took a step back in shock. He looked at his hands.
Kami: By Kami, I have evil within me as well...Master is choosing two demons to inherit the earth! unless...
Kami concentrated and then the Chamber went dark. Omega Shenron seemed to burst out of Kami's chest.
Kami:Dragon! I request something of you!
The Dragon recognized him as Shenron.
Shenron: I am the eternal Dragon! State your wish.
Kami: can I separate my evil?Can I become pure?
Shenron:I can do this, but your evil will exist as a separate entity and you would not be able to kill it without killing yourself.
Kami:...So be it. can you do this?
Shenron:Not without a deal.
Kami:what is it you want?
Shenron: I will separate your evil, and you must create the Dragonballs, like we have spoken of.
Kami:Why would you seek to be imprisoned in such a way?
Shenron: My true plan cannot yet be fully realized. I am too weak, but there will be a time. I promise this.
Goku,Whis and the others could see this but not interfere.
Goku: So why are we seeing this again?
Whis: You must know your enemy.
Piccolo: I have to agree. Shenrons like Hirudegarn have specific weaknesses. This is a battle we must win for the sake of all universes.
Piccolo was floating not too far away, his arms and legs were crossed. He looked to Whis.
Whis: Is this why you chose me? Because of my memories through Kami.
Whis:not entirely, though Kami's connection to Shenron is something that we must learn more of. You see, this cave is connected deeply to the force of the universe itself, even to those of other universes. This is why I brought you two here.
Piccolo: How can I see this? Kami is no longer part of me.
Whis: These memories are from before you seperated and...hmm...how odd.
Goku:What is it?
Whis: Your memories are incomplete.
Goku:huh?
Whis: You must have been made to forget something in your childhood.
Goku:oh yeah, that's when I hit my head and forgot about the whole Saiyan thing.
Whis:what?
Goku:oh yeah, my grandpa Gohan told me all about it.
Whis: It appears Grandpa Gohan lied to you.
Goku:what!?
Whis pointed towards something with his staff.
Whis:see for yourself.
In the vision, Goku was being carried in a basket on Grandpa Gohan's back. He reached towards some fruit hanging on a tree nearby and accidently slipped, falling out of the basket.
Grandpa Gohan grabbed him by the tail, before he fell.
The vision faded.
Goku was surprised.
Goku:That's not what happened?
Whis: Did you really belief the strongest man on the planet would be careless enough to allow harm to come to his own son?
Goku raised a finger and opened his mouth to speak but Piccolo covered it.
Piccolo:Don't say anything.
The Namekian gave a stern expression, looking at Goku with anger involving Goku's parenting of Gohan.
Piccolo: What is missing?
Whis: A part of his childhood only, following when he hit his head.
Goku's eyes widened, and Piccolo dropped his hand from his mouth.
Goku:missing? Well then...where did it go?
Whis: I don't know.
The angel gestured around him.
Whis: This place can only project memories of those within it. The shadow Dragons were all once part of one being so we can at least see the rest of their lives through Uub.
Uub himself sat indian style next to Piccolo, who looked over at him. Whis stroke his chin in thought.
Whis:hmm...who else would know of this discrepancy in your memories.
Goku:I don't know. Master Roshi and Ox King knew Grandpa Gohan but he was a said they hadn't seen him in years.
Whis:Grandpa Gohan may have had some sort of technique that allowed you to forget your Saiyan heritage...hmm...alright. I suggest you go and talk to Muten Roshi or the Ox King. I will go to the afterlife and consult with you grandpa Gohan.
Goku:You can do that?
Whis: of course. I AM an angel.
Goku:Can I go with you?
Whis: No. I'll have to confront the Omni King. I'd hate for you to do something stupid. I'm already dreading this meeting.
Whis vanished. Sometime later, Goku,Piccolo and Uub exited the the dark cave.
Goku: I'm going to go meet Master Roshi first.
Piccolo:I'll go with you.
Goku:huh?
Piccolo:The involves me too.
Uub: Can I go too?
Goku:sure. Vegeta and Frieza won't be back form their training for a while.
He put his arms around both of them and then raised his hand to perform the instant transmission move. All three vanished.
OPENING SEQUENCE:
Since It would be difficult to describe the theme's images.I will instead present you with the opening theme song Dragon Soul in English and you can imagine the images seen during it. Namely scenes of Goku and the other characters, Pan flying her nimbus over the clouds while Shenron in dragon form emerges and flies alongside her. They then fight several series villains including frieza, who goes golden, Cell, Majin Buu fighting Uub, and Vegitto fighting first Broly and then Goku Black. At the end all the character stand together with Goku in the front.
LYRICS
(to the tune of Dragon Soul sung by MasakoX.)
Don't stop, don't stop
We're in luck now!
Don't stop! There's so much to be found
We can find paradise
All we have to do is go! Go! Free your soul!
Mysteries abound in this world that we will seek (chorus:that we will seek)
Foes all around but I will go fearless and free
I'll give you strength, you give me love, that's how we'll live (chorus:That's how we'll live)
Courage won't fade If you're with me, my enemies can never win
We will fight for love and glory
We will live to tell our story
There is nothing we can't live through
Nothing ever dies, we will rise again!
Don't stop, don't stop
We're in luck now
Don't stop, Keep your spirit proud
And ride upon the wind
All we have to do is go!

We're in luck now
Don't stop! There's so much to be found
We can find paradise
All we have to do is go! Go! Free your soul!
DRAGONBALL!
(end of opening sequence)
(cut to black. Pan's voice is heard speaking in a solemn way)
Pan:This is the story of how my Grandfather Goku died...for the third and final time.
ELSEWHERE...
On another planet there was an intense battle going on between members of the galactic patrol, aliens of different shapes and sizes, and an army of space squids. Jaco leaped into view and opened fire with his blaster. He then leaped away and in the same spot stood Satan the champion of earth, posing while firing a blaster in many directions. Jaco leaped back to him and the two stood back to back.
Jaco:We're surrounded!
Hercule:I can see that!
Satan put down his weapon and held out his hands.
Hercule:People of earth! Lend me your energy!
The scene cut to a large screen on a building. the image of Satan and Jaco fighting was being recorded on screens across many different planets. they all held their hands up. The image then cut to static across all the planets.
Back on the planet itself, Hercule was trying to concentrate. The large tentacle like monsters were starting to surround the two of them.
Jaco:Hurry it up!
Hercule: I'm doing it!
He looked up. There was a downright tiny ball of energy sitting there, the size of a penny.
Hercule: what?! that's not right! It's supposed to be really big...hmmm...Maybe it's really dense.
He prepared to swing it.
Hercule: Take this evil space slime!
He swung his his arms and the small lot flew and hit one of the space hit it and dissipated immediately with no effect.
Hercule:what!
Jaco:any more bright ideas!
Hercule and Jaco back away as the creatures approached them, seemingly out of options when suddenly Saiyan Pods came flying into the atmosphere.
Shugesh: The calvary's here!
The pods all opened as they Saiyans inside stepped out and the slime creatures surrounding and Jaco were destroyed by the blasts. The remaining creatures looked up only to be like wise vaporized or crush by the falling Saiyan pods. Jaco and Hercule took off running. The Saiyan pods slowly descended and the occupants stepped out. The smoke of one of the pods cleared to reveal Bardock who stepped forward and walked around, inspecting everything. Tora ran up to him and walked next to him.
Tora: Bardock! The planet is all clear.
Bardock:Any sign of her?
Tora:...no...sorry.
Bardock was used to this.
Bardock:(sigh)...fine.
He walked over to Hercule and Jaco.
Bardock:Vegeta wanted to talk to you.
He walked away and Jaco and Hercule pieced together that he intended them to follow him. They did so. A ship touched down, one with the Capsule Corps symbol on it. Jaco and Hercule followed Bardock inside. Vegeta was having armor put on him by Bulma inside.
Bulma:Are you sure about this?
Vegeta: I'm sure.
He turned around. He was now wearing Saiyan armor.
Vegeta: Jaco. I knew I'd find you here. I'm actually searching for something.
Jaco: you don't mean?
Vegeta: The superhuman water.
Jaco: You do mean!
Hercule:What's that?
Hercule addressed his sidekick.
Jaco: It's a myth, or at least it was. Some years ago I tracked a group of criminals here. They were seeking the superhuman water. It turned out to be a trap for some powerful being. I was able to seal it up again because for some reason it wasn't interested in attacking me.
Vegeta: and now i'm going to find it.
Jaco: but why?
Vegeta: To test my power.
A Saiyan walked in.
"Emperor Vegeta! We've found it."
Vegeta walked out and the group followed.
He approached an area and wit ha raise of one hand blasted it, destroying the surrounding rock. A jelly like creature emerged and began to engulf smiled and let himself by absorbed. It completely engulfed him before ehe suddenly flexed and the slime exploded. There was a burst of energy as Super Saiyan 4 stood there, except that Vegeta still wore the armor. he look dat himself proudly.
Vegeta: interesting. the form grants me energy.
Bulma: I modified the nanites so if your energy becomes too intense they go dormant in your bloodstream.
Vegeta: And they give me a burst of power.
The purple slime reassembled and took the form of a purple imitation of Vegeta.
Vegeta: Now...let's see who is stronger shall we.
He held out his hand and effortlessly vaporizes the other Vegeta with a single blast.
Vegeta: hmm...I thought this would be much harder.
Bulma:I guess he couldn't copy the form.
Vegeta then smiled.
Vegeta: excellent. Promise me you won't do this to Kakarot.
Bulma:You have my word.
KAME HOUSE
Master Roshi slept on a chair, a dirty magazine over his eyes. Goku teleported in along with Piccolo and Uub. He was startled awake.
Goku:Master Roshi...We need to talk.
Uub: Master?
Goku:huh?
Goku turned to Uub.
Uub: can I go if this doesn't involve me? I haven't been on earth in a while and there's a few people I want to meet.
Goku smiled.
Goku:sure. You go ahead.
Uub nodded.
Uub: thanks.
He flew off.
He flew off and as he did he thought to himself.
"I can't wait to see Pan and Bra again. Maybe I'll finally be able to tell her how I feel?"
CAPSULE CORPS
The room was blasts were the only source of light. They were shot back and forth. Pan fired one at Bra. Both were Super Saiyans. Bra kicked it up and it hit the then attacked Bra from behind. Bra blocked a knee to the face and the two fought an intense battle up close. In one instance the two hit each other in the face at the same time and responded to the hit. They tried again and this time there was a shockwave and a blinding light. The smoke cleared. Bra had Pan pinned to the ground. the lights turned on.
Bra: I guess this means I win.
Pan:I got distracted.
Bra: Goku's ki. I sensed it too. He's back.
Pan:So is Uub.
Bra got off of Pan and went to grab her towel.
Bra: We should go meet them. It would be weird. It's been a while and we've all grown so much.
Pan:Bra, we're the same 've just always acted older.
The two shut off the lights and walked out of the room, holding hands.
Bra: Do you think we should we tell them? about us?
Pan:I don't think any of them will care that much.
OMNI KING'S PALACE
This teleported into the palace and looked around, seeing the grand priest looking at him with a warm smile.
Grand Priest: Hello Whis
Whis: It's been far too long.
Grand Priest: You already know the state of things.
He turned and the two walked side by side. They walked through a long illuminated area with blue columns. They appeared before the Omni King, a small creature with a football shaped heard sitting in a small chair, two tao guards were on either side of him. The Grand Priest bowed first. Whis did the same. Omni king spoke.
Omni king: what do you want Whis? I'm having so much fun with my new friends, especially Son Goku.
The Omni king was childish,this was clear in his voice. Out from behind a nearby column stepped Vados and Beerus, accompanied by Goku Black. Whis was surprised. Black's expression switched from an evil grin into a completely flawless imitation of Son Goku of Universe 2. He closed his eyes and smiled a sincere smile while rubbing his head.
"oh yeah! We've had tons of fun! there's so many strong fighters here! I can't wait for the tournament!"
Whis: the tournament?
Xeno King: oh yes, Son Goku has proposed an idea for a great tournament! The losers will have their universes wiped out!
Whis:WHAT!?
Xeno King: It's a great idea!
The King seems dot stop and think.
Xeno King: but there's just one problem...There's supposed to be 12 universes but I count 13.
Whis:what?...oh you mean Trunk's universe.
Xeno King: Well there should be 12 so the tournament is fair...I know! I'll destroy the extra one.
Whis:WAIT!
everyone paused.
Whis:...you can't. There's strong fighters in that universe. Trunk's universe is almost dead. You'll get more of a challenge with the copy of Universe 7.
Xeno King:copy?
The grand priest stepped forward.
Grand Priest: Time travel was attempted by this Trunks and an alternate universe was created by his actions. That now occupies the space of Universe 7. Sadly the Supreme Kai of Time has left us and is unable to deal with this matter.
Xeno King: Well I suppose I should destroy the extra universe?
Goku Black:wait!
Everyone looked at imitated Goku.
Goku Black: I know this great guy named Trunks who lives there. He's pretty tough, heck I'm for that universe.
Xeno King:you are?
Goku Black:sure are, and I'd be happy to represent it in the tournament.
Xeno King: Well that's not really fair, so how about we have tryouts.
Whis:...tryouts?
Xeno King: I hereby decree that Trunk's universe and Universe 7 will have a match against each other. As will be the same with all universes in the tournament,The losing universe will be destroyed.
END OF CHAPTER
Author's Note: I put this series on hold to include elements form the currently running Dragonball Super Multiverse Tournament arc. However I realized I could wet the appetite of my fans by at least doing a bit of...not necessarily filler, but getting a few things I was going to have happen later when I brought back the story in full of that is the mini tournament arc between Trunk's universe and Universe 7 for who will represent Universe 7 in the tournament proper. I hope you enjoy.
