Sakei floated down to his charge Tequiwa Goddess of Destruction, his mind still on the words from both the Grand Priest and the Supreme Kai of Time. Sakei being an angel had light blue skin, the white hair that was done, not unlike an ice cream swirl, and he wore the typical angel garb though he had square shaped symbols and his finish was a dark blue in color. He landed next to her, and looked at her. Tequiwa was a thinly built but rather curvaceous woman, with yellow skin, her red hair which was as long as her whole body and almost just as large. She wore the typical God of Destruction Garments and like Sakei she had a dark blue finish and her symbols consisted of differently colored squares. She looked at her Angel teacher and guardian. "So? When are we getting popped out of existence?" She asked as she turned her gaze to her hand which was studded with rings with jewels of varying colors studded on them.

He smiled, "We're not." he said, he ran a hand through his swirled white hair.

She stopped looking at her hand, and turned to him, her face incredulous, "Whaddya mean 'we're not' we aren't meant to exist!" she said.

He chuckled, "That is true we aren't meant to exist… but we do let me explain." he said.

-Sometime Earlier-

3 beings stood in the Time Nest, one the Grand Priest, the other the Supreme Kai of Time, and the third Sakei angel of a universe never meant to be. The Grand Priest looked at Sakei, "I must admit I did not think I would get another son in this manner." he said.

Sakei bowed, "I only wish I could count myself as a true child of yours but sadly I'm not." he said.

The Grand Priest frowned, "So when did you discover the truth of your situation?" he asked.

Sakei stood straight, "About 6,000 tacks from now." he said, "Though how long we've actually existed is the question." he turned his gaze to the Supreme Kai of Time.

She tapped her head as she thought, "Technically speaking by mortal standards you've existed for the same time as Universe 7 though if we're speaking honestly you've existed for about a year." she said, "I never thought Towa's fake Tokitoki eggs would create a dark copy of a Universe. Not to mention Universe 7 of all things." She shook her head. "I shouldn't have put them all in the same place." She said.

The Grand Priest shrugged, "It matters little now, what's done is done. All we can do is make the best of the situation." He said.

Sakei turned to her, "So then why didn't you destroy this fake universe then?" he asked.

She looked at him, "I was waiting for the Grand Priest to return from the Tournament of Power before doing anything." she said.

The Grand Priest chuckled, "Well the Tournament was only 48 minutes by mortal standards I only delayed due to my observation of this… False Universe. Rather I should call it a Negative Universe." he explained.

Chronoa looked at him, "Negative Universe?" she was confused.

The Grand Priest nodded "I've noticed something very interesting about this universe and of its counterpart." he said and he held up his hand and a small version of all 12 universe appeared he waved his hand and the copy of Universe 7 appeared below the original Universe 7 he then snapped his fingers the other universes popping out while the two Universe 7's enlarged. The normal Universe 7 seemed to be emitting a strange black energy that was flowing into the copy Universe 7. "This is Negative Energy, this energy seems to have an effect on Universe 7 in that it allows for chances of individuals with evil designs to emerge." he said, "When it builds up to a certain degree it creates a chance and is absorbed by the individual or individuals." an image of a faceless being appeared and it showed the energy flowing into them. "What this energy does I cannot say at the moment… but this other universe is absorbing it... which is why I ask you Supreme Kai of Time to not destroy this Universe yet." he said.

Chronoa looked at him, "Are you sure Grand Priest? This universe is not meant to exist bu-" he looked at her and she stopped.

He spoke in a calm tone that was nonetheless eerie, "You did say that this universe has its own Time Scroll yes?" He asked. She nodded, "I"m not asking for much… I ask for a chance to… test a theory." he said. She looked at him confused and he turned his gaze to the two Universe 7's, "Before the Tournament of Power we thought we had seen the peak of what Mortals could do but the Tournament opened my eyes to their true and possible ultimate potential." He waved his hand making the two universe's vanish, "I ask for a period of 2 Mortal Years, let this universe continue to exist as it has to see if my theory is correct if it is we might need to make more for the sake of all. Besides I think the Omni-King would be interested in this Negative Universe." he said.

He turned his gaze to Sakei, "I will welcome you as my own son if that is alright with you, you are as much as my own progeny as the others even if you were born through different methods." he said.

Sakei blinked then he bowed, "I thank you… Father…" he said.

The Grand Priest floated to him and put a hand on his son's shoulder, "Do not worry everything should be fine." he said, "Now stand proud my son you have a lot to do…" he then leaned in, "Find the three that have replaced these three and guide them if my experiment is true they should become quite a challenge for your charge." he said in a low whisper. Sakei nodded and stood up, "I will see you both again in 2 years." he said and he vanished.

Sakei looked at Chronoa who still looked unsure, "Until then Lady Chronoa." he said, and he tapped his staff on the ground twice, vanishing in that swirl of energy. Chronoa wouldn't lie to herself she was worried about this but she could do nothing to oppose the Grand Priest, she sighed and walked to find Trunks and inform him of what happened.

-Present Time-

Tequiwa sat there incredulous, "2 Mortal Years? I have to wait 2 years to be erased?" She asked.

Sakei smiled, "Somehow I don't think we will be erased which means you have to get back to being a Goddess of Destruction I doubt the Grand Priest would like to hear that you are slacking off just because you think you'll be erased in 2 years." He said.

Tequiwa scowled, "Dammit, very well what world do I need to destroy next?" She asked.

Sakei looked at the top of his staff, "I'll let you know in a bit there's something I must investigate first." he said and he walked away. His father had mentioned 3 warriors, in that time he had given him an image of 3 figures, their names being, Goku, Vegeta and Gohan. He wanted him to find the Negative equivalent of them and train them why he didn't know but if his father wanted him to do this it was for a reason.

There was no easy way to search but his father had given him an inkling of the original's energy signatures. While these saiyans technically wouldn't have the exact same energy it would be close enough to search for. He searched for a similar ki to the 3 he had been given. Considering that they were saiyans he knew of one place to search... Planet Vegeta. However there was a slight problem: the planet was gone. It was destroyed and not by Tequiwa, however he did recognize the trace amounts of ki from the destruction. "Freiza… he's been very active lately… I need to find these three saiyans." As he searched he still thought of what he was. An angel from a universe never meant to exist born purely out of chance… and now his father was trying to keep him alive… for what?

He didn't know, he sighed as she couldn't find their energy… then he remembered that these beings lived on a planet called Earth. He concentrated and found it… well he found them but only two of them. He focused one was in the north in a tower fighting to the top, the other was beneath an ocean in a vehicle to allow underwater travel. Sakei searched but couldn't find the third which meant only one thing. 'He is dead… then these two cannot be allowed to die.' he turned to Tequiwa, "I will be gone for a short while you have your task ahead of you…" he turned to leave but then remembered, "You better not destroy worlds because they didn't give you any shiny trinkets!" he chastised.

She flushed red and stood up facing him, "Mind your own business!" She huffed. Sakei tapped his staff and he began his travel to Earth.

-35 Minutes Later-

Sakei appeared above Earth's atmosphere. It was a blue planet filled with greenery and life, he used his staff to observe it's status. It was wracked with war… fought by 3 evil powers: a rogue namekian, a human group calling themselves the red ribbon army, and a army of fabricated soldiers created by a madman. He saw that the red ribbon army was being severely attacked… by 2 of the 3 brothers… in fact one was in the north fighting in a tower. The other was deep in the ocean heading for an underwater facility accompanied by an earthling. The brother in the tower had hair like the individual called Goku. He was thinner but still lean and powerful. He wore a black gi with a similar design to Goku's usual wear with red shoes and red armbands he also had a red headband on his head. Currently he was fighting 3 individuals an examination revealed them to be machines that looked like humanoids.

Sakei then turned his attention to the second brother, who was now entering the facility and had killed two guards while the human with him stayed behind to guard the transport. This brother was taller, more muscular and had long spiking hair that went down just below the middle of his back. He was topless and wore tribal-like pants with teal armbands and black boots. He moved quickly through the facility taking care to not be spotted by it's defenses or cameras. It was clear he had a great deal of intelligence and caution despite his strength. Sakei smiled then tapped his staff and teleported in front of the saiyan.

Menzo had been running when suddenly he saw a vortex of light in front of him. He halted and got into a battle stance, "What's this a new Red Ribbon weapon?" he asked.

The light vanished and a tall individual with light blue skin and white hair stood before him. He wore an unusual garb that seemed both ancient yet new, and in his hand a staff with a floating sphere that was in the center of a ring. "Greetings my name is Sakei. I am the angel of the Tequiwa, the Goddess of destruction." he said.

Menzo didn't relax, "An… angel? What is that?" he asked.

Sakei appreciated his caution, "I see you prefer to speak instead of fighting very good. Now then where do I begin?" And he explained his station and job to Menzo listening silently. "Now then any questions?" he asked.

Menzo lowered his guard, "Why are you approaching me?" he asked.

Sakei tapped the staff against his hand, "I'm curious about your potential and development. I wish to nurture that potential. You and your brother are saiyans, the strongest warriors in the universe." he said.

Menzo sighed, "While our people are strong we are not. Stronger than the humans here yes but we'd be stomped by our kin." he said, "Besides how could we have potential we're nearly tapped out as far as our power levels go." he said.

Sakei frowned, "Hmmm I don't think so. I think you have the potential to one day rival a god in strength." he said, "I've seen other saiyans do so, one being a so-called low-class saiyan." he said, "He's fought an elite and beaten him and has fought powerful foes and became strong enough to challenge a god himself. A battle he almost won… if a low-class can obtain such heights. I think you three could ascent to such heights yourself." he reasoned.

Menzo looked at him, "Truly? You think we can do it? We could become super saiyans?" He asked.

Sakei nodded, "Oh indeed you could it'd take no small amount of effort though you have to train, train hard, train dutifully, and help others. The saiyans would tell you the Super Saiyan is a brutal warrior." Sakei shook his head slowly, "Powerful yes, filled with anger yes, but he fought for others not himself." he said.

Menzo looked at him, he had a hard time believing this but this being spoke with utter confidence. There was another thing, he wasn't as good as his brother at sensing energy but that was mostly at a distance. Up close was another thing… and he couldn't sense this angel's power at all like it was non-existent. "You make an interesting argument… I feel like you are strong but I can't sense your power… would you allow me the honor to spar with you briefly?" He asked.

Sakei smiled, "Well I can afford 2 minutes." He held up his staff and released it, it floated to the side and Sakei got into a stance he held up one fist, his arm completely straight, his other fist resting on the inner joint. Menzo got into his fighting stance again, he struck first with a powerful punch that was casually pushed aside by Sakei. He followed up with a knee only for the angel to lower his arm and grab it, he did this without taking his eyes off Menzo. Menzo began to strike with passion performing a barrage of punches, elbows, knees, and kicks all of them either blocked, doged, or moved aside. It was clear this angel was powerful yet no matter how Menzo struck he couldn't get a clear view of that strength. "I see you are able to gauge an individual's strength through combat, a very useful trait but against an opponent that doesn't strike back I imagine it's difficult to get a picture." he said.

Menzo smiled, "Yeah pretty much." and he struck only for Sakei to step to the side causing the saiyan to stumble and for a quick chop at the back of he neck to hit him. Menzo's vision began to grow dark and his body froze up, but he channeled ki into his hand and held it up in front of him. He landed on it and energy flooded his body, he stood up and faced Sakei who raised an eyebrow impressed, "You…" Menzo breathed as he got into a defensive pose. With just that singular tap he felt power beyond reckoning. Not even the King of Planet Vegeta could stand up to this foe hell the whole planet full of saiyans wouldn't even put a scratch on this being. Menzo felt his body shiver then he gritted his teeth, "I'm not scared!" he said and he got into an aggressive stance and charged forward.

Sakei smiled, "Good you will need fearlessness in the future if you are to become stronger." he said and he ducked the wild punch and stabbed with two fingers at Menzo's solar plexus. Menzo felt the blow and this time he couldn't set up for a revival as he was knocked out. Sakei grabbed the saiyan and then reached for his staff. He tapped the ground twice and time reversed backwards for 1 minute and 40 seconds. Menzo blinked, and he looked around, "You have potential indeed, if I were you I would train long after this is over. There are powerful enemies in the universe and you will need to become much stronger in order to defeat them." he said.

Menzo looked at him, "What just happened?" He asked.

Sakei smiled, "I'll tell you when you're ready till then heed my words Saiyan." he said.

Menzo blinked, "OK… but my name is Menzo." he said.

Sakei raised an eyebrow, "Very well then Menzo I will be watching you and your brothers closely." he said. He tapped the ground and energy began to form around him and just as he appeared he vanished. Menzo could only stare where the angel had stood before he sat down and sighed.

He thought on what he had just experienced, "Keep training even after this is over?" he chuckled, "No need to tell me I would keep training, who knows when other saiyans will appear when they do… not to mention Freiza… if we're going to call this planet home, we will have to become stronger than any saiyan could possibly imagine… if he was telling the truth then… maybe we… we could become Super Saiyans…" He closed his eyes. If it was possible he would have to make it so. "Alright first things first the files." he said and he stood up and went to find the command center of this base.

-Muscle Tower-

Kentenko panted as he stood over the bodys of Android 9 and 10, behind him Android 8 was resting in a corner his body cracked showing his mechanical wiring. He turned to him, "Are you ok?" He asked.

Android 8 looked at him, "Why did you protect me?" he asked.

The saiyan sighed as he wiped the blood from his face, "Like I said you're not a bad guy just working with bad people." he panted his arms were sore as were his hands. They looked at each other. Suddenly a bundle of lights appeared in front of them both from the bundle of lights blasts of energy were fired at various places in the air hitting the cameras mounted hidden in the walls. Ken got into a fighting stance as the energy faded revealing an… unusual figure. He had light blue skin and wore some kind of foreign yet ancient looking clothing. His hair was done in a type of swirl and in one hand was long thin staff with a pointed bottom and a floating sphere on top with a ring around it. "Greetings." the being spoke, "My name is Sakei I'm an angel under service of the Goddess of Destruction." he said.

Ken didn't lower his guard, no matter how hard he tried to sense this person's energy he couldn't find it, it was if it was invisible, "An Angel? Is that another word for an android?" he asked.

Sakei laughed, "No it isn't… I'm quite flesh and blood like you… well not entirely but that would require a great explanation and unlike your brother I don't think you'd remember it that well." he said.

Kentenko froze, "You spoke with Menzo? How? He's in the ocean." he said.

Sakei laughed, "Ha, ha, ha, let's just say I can go places." he said, "Now then I'm here to do two things, first is to heal you." he spun his staff then pointed it at Kentenko. Instantly all the injuries the saiyan had were gone even his clothes were repaired. Ken felt the surge of power as his body was boosted by his bloody near death battle. "I see your power has gone up a bit." Sakei said, "Keep fighting and keep getting stronger. You'll need it in future." he said.

Kentenko looked at him, "I dunno how much stronger I can get I must be near my limits." he said.

Sakei tutted, "Your brother said the same thing, what's the point in being a warrior race if you had limits? Even if you did you'd have to surpass them in the end." he pointed out.

Ken stood there thinking of that, "I guess it makes sense I'm not too smart." he said.

Sakei laughed, "You're smart enough young one, now then keep it up you have many trials ahead of you, I look forward to your progress." he said.

He was about to tap his staff when Ken held up a hand, "Wait! Can you heal him!" he said pointing to the damaged android.

Sakei turned to Android 8, "I believe I can." he pointed his staff at Android 8 and it glowed. Android 8's parts glowed then began to reconstruct themselves. Android 8 was surprised as his limbs seemingly reformed on their own and when his legs came back he raised them up. Once they reformed he set them down and stood up. He gripped his hands and wiggled his foot. He looked at Sakei and then placing his arms at his sides he bowed.

"Thank you very much Mr. Angel." he said.

Sakei laughed, "oh ho ho ho ho, you are quite welcome, machine individual." he said, he then turned to Kentenko, "Well I must go I have matters to attend to." and he tapped his staff on the ground he was surrounded by light and vanished.

The Saiyan scratched his head, "What a strange guy but can't help but wonder if he's serious… well enough of that later I gotta find the lab do you know where it is Eighter?" he asked.

The android looked at him, "E-Eighter?" he asked straightening up.

Ken smiled, "Yeah Android 8 is too mouthy and 8 just sounds rude so Eighter is what I came up with… uh you don't mind do you?" he asked.

Android 8 looked at him then he smiled, "No… I do not at all." he said, "The lab is this way, follow me." he said and he ran off Kentenko right behind him.

-Above Earth's Atmosphere-

Sakei was staring at his staff, "Let's see perhaps we should first investigate their lineage… how far back does it go I wonder." he mused and his staff began to rewind time for Menzo within an instant he saw everything the Saiyan had done then began going back to the time of the ancient saiyans. He saw the progenitor of Menzo and his family and he raised an eyebrow. "Yamoshi?" He thought on the name, it was strangely familiar. "Maybe the Supreme Kai of Time might know something." he decided and tapping his staff he teleported to the Time Nest.

-The Time Nest-

Chronoa was observing the scroll of the Negative Universe 7, despite the fact that the scroll was literally created only a few days ago it had a complete history. She could see all of the universe time as if it existed for billions of years not just a few days. She didn't understand how it happened but it had. She looked up when she heard the sound of a teleportation spell and turned to see Sakei walking toward her. "Ah you're in here good I have a question for you." he said.

She looked at him, "What's wrong?" she asked.

He walked to her, "What do you know of an Ancient Saiyan named Yamoshi?" he asked.

She raised her eyebrows, "Well in the normal universe 7 Yamoshi was the first Super Saiyan not to mention the Super Saiyan God as well. However the evil saiyans of that time killed Yamoshi and his supporters and his lineage was crushed." She looked at him now curious, "Why?" she asked.

Sakei held up his staff, "I met with the two brothers and I checked their lineage…" the image in the staff projected outward, "According to this he and his brothers are related to a Yamoshi in our universe." he said.

Chronoa's eyes went wide, "What!? That's impossible!" She went to the scroll of the Negative Universe 7 and opened it using her magic to go back to the days of the ancient saiyans. She looked till she found what she was looking for. "No way… Yamoshi died but his wife escaped, she gave birth and raised her children in secret and integrated them into the rising saiyan society… of the 2 one survived all the way to the 'modern' era… This…" she looked at Sakei, "This is incredible despite putting in more wrongs this universe has a new right apart from those three saiyan brothers." she said.

Sakei placed a hand on his chin, it was then it occurred to him "Do you think that when the three were eliminated their ancestors were affected as well?" He asked.

Chronoa thought on that, "It's possible however there is a 'Vegeta' lineage… Or is it?" She wondered. She looked back at the scroll, "Wait, the 'normal' Vegeta died but his brother 'another' Vegeta lived! Which means that the current King Vegeta in your universe is not the same as the one in Universe 7!" she said. "There are more changes than I realized. It will take time but I'll send some time patrollers to investigate more closely." she said.

Sakei nodded, "Let me know what you discover I have a feeling our universe isn't as parallel as we thought it is." he said, and he tapped his staff warping out of the Time Nest.

-Tequiwa's Planet-

Sakei appeared in the great blue-green fields of the planet Tequiwa called home. So far he was discovering new things. This Universe had a slightly different history and this difference was enough that only certain things were mirrored from the primary universe… it was curious how a demon's wish to create a world free from 3 individuals ended up creating an entirely different timeline. It went to show how dangerous time alteration truly was… but he was curious to see the development of these changes. Tequiwa was nowhere to be seen, he looked at his staff and saw her in a chair while she pawed over various jewels and baubles. "Not again." he groaned and he tapped his staff, "She's not gonna get away with it this time." he said as he was surrounded by light he vanished to admonish Tequiwa properly.

-The Time Nest-

Chornoa looked at the images the time patrollers had taken, she looked at one picture showing an individual his appearance was similar to Freiza save the fact he had black bio-armor, white bio-jewels and was taller. His head had two small horns made of bio-armor coming from the corners of his head. She set it down and looked at the next picture, a short saiyan with spiked hair, two larger ones next to him one bald, one with a long mane of hair. The next picture showed a man wearing a cape, with hair spiked like the saiyan Goku with 5 others standing at his side. She inhaled deeply as she set the pictures down, this universe was in for one hell of a trial and she couldn't do anything to help it.
