All stands are explained at the end, with some that haven't even been used yet!
Multiverse 2. I've discovered entire other omniverses. Now I'm seeing how stands could affect the universe. I'm firing Viral meteors at important historical figures. I've also made the characters more attuned to the expectations of what the characters would know and be able to do in the logic of that universe.
A meteor fell from the sky. It looked quite normal, and it was. But, there was a visitor on the meteor. One that would change the universe forever.
"Chi-Chi, I'm going to take Gohan to meet all my friends."
"Okay, have a nice time! Make sure Gohan's back by 3 so he can get his studies done!"
"I will! Nimbus!"
Goku hopped on the cloud and flew towards the old Kame-sennin's house. He got there just in time to see Bulma, Krillin, and Master Roshi chatting over a couple of beers about how they were doing.
"Oh, Goku! We were just talking about you." Krillin put down the can and stood up to say hi. "But why do you have a kid with you?"
"Hey, Krillin. Gohan is mine."
"You mean, you're a parent now?" Krillin seemed surprised, but Bulma and Master Roshi could have guessed.
"Pretty much. Chi-Chi is doing most of the work though, so I've been competing in local tournaments and started a farm. Apparently there's a thing called money that you need to "keep the mountain."
"Oh, really? So, you're saying that now you're paying taxes on Mt. Paozu?"
"Something about 'land ownership or something. It's only about 400 thousand zeni a month, though, which is fine."
"400 THOUSAND A MONTH?" This time Bulma, Master Roshi, and Krillin were stunned.
"That's almost half of what I make!" Bulma interjected. "Capsule Corp. spends that much for the entire city!"
"It isn't too hard. I build houses in my free time, too. Takes about a few hours if I'm making a big one. I'm not sure why people will pay "
"OHHHHHHH." A group facepalm occurred as they realized that that would be very profitable. "So how do you find… people who want to make a house?" Krillin was pretty sure that someone would be scamming him.
"There's a guy who said that he'd pay me when I wanted to make one. He said I'd get 50% of the profit." The situation was better than Krillin expected.
"Oh, so that's how that construction startup Richard Goodman got to the list of top ten richest people in the world in record time. How much do you make for a normal house?"
"Oh, about 300 thousand zeni from a smaller one, and the bigger ones get a million or more."
"How much do you have?"
"Well, so far I have about 70 million. Chi-Chi exchanges it for gold. I guess it's because then it's not piling up." Bulma seemed content.
"So, how's training going?"
"Well, the closest thing to that I've been doing is making houses, but really not much."
"Chi-Chi?"
"Pretty much. She says we should be set for life when we have 100 million saved away."
Gohan was outside, playing rock paper scissors with a crab. Of course, the crab won. Gohan kept trying.
"Have you been training him? Ha, kidding, if Chi-Chi won't let you, she won't let him ever train."
"Yeah… Chi-Chi actually said that I can train him in times of crisis. It would be a good 'extra kersnicker.' Or whatever that means."
"Pretty sure you mean extracurricular."
"Yeah, exo-predicament."
"Goku… gah. So-" BOOOOOOOM! A large crash was heard outside. Gohan's neck had been crushed by a meteor.
Goku dashed to Korin Tower and came back within a minute, and force-fed Gohan a senzu. Gohan was unconscious, but stable. Of course, a figure appeared immediately in front of the scene. "Gah, it seems my brother got hit on the head as a child. I guess I'll kidnap the toddler instead."
"What?" Everyone there was confused.
"Okay, I'll back up, I can already tell you were hit on the head as a child and completely forgot you were an alien sent to kill everyone and sell it for profit. But, I can tell you're an idiot and won't join me. So, I'll just kidnap this kid who is your son, who just developed a stand because he was hit by that space rock or whatever."
"What?"
"Gah, characters with powers that let them see everything about someone else are always the exposition characters. That rock has a virus that gives those who touch it and sometimes their family a stand if they survive. A stand is a manifestation of your fighting spirit, they usually have weirdly situational or specific abilities. Only stand users can see other stands, except for when they don't, only stands can harm other stands, except for when they don't, and all damage done to a stand will reflect back on the user and vice versa, except for when they don't. Ok, now I'm kidnapping your son, hope you don't develop a stand and try to kill me!"
"What?" Then Raditz flew off with Gohan.
"I think he kidnapped your kid." Krillin was quite blunt.
"Oh. Imma go get him." Goku flew off.
Goku flew in the direction of his newfound brother.
Stand stats
Time of your life:
User: Raditz
Ability: ?
Strength: 3
Ki: 4
Durability: 2
Speed: 4
Trick: 5
Potential: 1
(It's not the real stats; I came up with my own that will work in DBZ. 3 basically means the same as the user, 4 is 20% better, 2 is 20% worse, etc.)
"What? You actually came?"
"Yeah. And I thought up a new attack on the way."
"Your power is 520. How could you possibly beat me? Especially with my Double Sunday! Hah!"
"Kamehame-"
"HA! You're dead!"
As the attack cleared, Goku was revealed, unharmed. A funky yellow dude stood in front of him. He looked almost like Goku, but with three spikes on his forehead. One disintegrated.
"Well I have another!"
Another beam. This time, Raditz saw it more clearly. As Goku began to disintegrate from the attack, he popped back immediately before the end of the attack. It was his stand power. And his power was increased to 1054. It jumped again, to 2312.
"HA!"
"How do you have such power!"
Raditz dove to the side, but didn't make it. His upper body was on the ground. Goku fired an energy blast at himself, activating the last spike. It healed Raditz as well. Both powers went to around 4000, as registered on Raditz' scouter.
"Good Riddance! Use the Time of Your Life!" Raditz' stand, Good Riddance, had the power to point at someone. It also let him see all of their experiences. It revealed that Goku had obtained a stand from his son being hit by the meteor, and had figured it out quickly. It had originally had five spikes. His brother had the superior stand. As always. Someone was better than him.
It was infuriating.
"Good Riddance, use Weekend Pulse!"
A stand finally appeared in front of Raditz, a green guy with a clock head. It fired a beam that hit Goku, showing him his entire life. It worked well as a distraction, keeping Goku long enough to be able to start punChing him. Raditz stood back and admired his stand. Raditz walked back towards the pod, getting ready to leave, when suddenly, Raditz felt something hit him in the stomach. It was Goku's stand, starting a chain of kicks.
"GAGAGAGAGAGAGA!"
"WRYYYYAYAYAYAYAY!"
Eventually, it was a 2v2 all out brawl. Both combatants were giving it their all. Finally, all were tired to the point of total exhaustion.
"Interesting battle, runt. You managed to tie with your amnesiac pathetic brother who awakened a stand that you couldn't handle." a voice came from Raditz' scouter. "I'll be there in a year. Make sure to enjoy the rest of your life. Ha!"
"Who was that?"
Raditz struggled to get up, then stumbled over to his pod. He opened the door, and pulled out Gohan. "Kakarot, take your son back. It's time for some family bonding. If we can't kill Vegeta when he gets here, we're all dead.
Lazuli ran to the lab carrying her brother. The meteor had snapped Lapis' neck. It was likely that there was less than a minute to spare.
"Dr. Gero, we'll do it on two conditions. Don't take our memories, and save Lapis." Lazuli had no desire to be a part of the experiment, but had no choice. Lapis was dying.
A hole opened up in the ground, swallowing both of them.
"Goku, who's this?" Chi-Chi gestured to the new saiyan in the room.
"A lot happened today. Basically, I'm an alien from a long-dead warrior race, this is Raditz, my brother, and-"
"Kakarot, let me. There's a maniac named Vegeta who's coming to kill everything on the planet for shits and giggles."
"I got hit by a meteorite! It contained 30% Katchin, and about 60% iridium, with the rest of the metals hard to identify."
"Nice proper use of terminology- WHAT? GOKU, DID YOU LET GOHAN GET HIT BY A METEOR?"
"I was talking to Roshi and Bulma inside and leaving him outside. He's fine, now."
"Okay. As long as nothing happened to him. But, what really happened?"
"Basically I was asking for help from my apparently amnesiac brother."
"No you we- OOF!" Raditz did not think that it would be a good idea to say what actually went down.
"Well then, why did you lead him here?" Chi-Chi wasn't happy either way.
"My only other option was trying to get higher up into the Frieza Force. Basically it's an army led by a homicidal maniac named Frieza who rules the entire galaxy. I'm only technically in because he annexed Planet Vegeta shortly before its destruction. I was on Galactic Patrol shutdown, so my job was to stifle a rival faction, until I was assigned with Vegeta on conquering duty. He started destroying the planet and so I went back to my old job, until he called and said that he decided he was going to kill the rest of the saiyans. So really, he would have killed everyone here anyway."
Goku hadn't heard the backstory yet, and even though he knew that Raditz had not told the whole truth, at least some of it had to be true. "Also, this weekend, can we train Gohan a bit? Just show him the basics and how to use his stand just in case."
"In case what? Gohan's not going to fight a homicidal maniac. Also what's a stand?"
"A stand is this power that me and Gohan got after gohan was hit by the meteor. Do you have a weird person following you around? They have special powers."
"I have one then. I've been getting it to help around the house."
"That's it. Anyway, he isn't fighting if you would prefer not, but if Vegeta shows up back here, wouldn't it be better that Gohan can actually help, instead of cowering in the corner and crying?"
"I guess. Martial arts is a nice thing to have on a college application, anyway."
"Okay, now that that's settled, how does the economy work on this planet? I doubt astral credits is an acceptable currency if you haven't advanced enough to travel faster than warp 5."
"Hmm, what are those made of?"
"Just a stable isotope of Aurum."
"Actually, that would be gold on this… planet. It's pretty valuable." Chi-chi, who actually had actually invested the money in a successful bank chain, was great with money.
"I've got about ten thousand credits. Can you tell me how much this much is worth?"
"It seems to be about an ounce. Is it pure?"
"You mean your planet doesn't use pure Aurum?"
"Eh, you have to be safe. The other day there was a story on the news about some guy scamming a couple million dollars out of the government."
"No comment. Should ten thousand of these be enough to last a year or two here?"
"The average salary is about thirty of these, so yeah, definitely."
"Now, we need to start training."
"Be reasonable, Gohan's going out after his homework is done and will be home by 6, no buts."
Gohan cheered, he was going to train with his dad! And, since he was already done with homework, he could start right away!
However, training to fight a megalomaniac was about as fun as it sounded.
"Ack, my hair got into my eyes!" Raditz blasted Gohan, sending his head flying.
"Bam, you would be dead in a real fight, next time… Shit."
"Ah! Owwwww!"
"Raditz, come on. Gohan, focus on making your stand do something." Gohan did as told, which ended up copying Goku's ability. He reset himself (using Raditz, who was taking hits out of pity), crying for a few minutes afterward.
"That was weak, Kakarot. If it were actually a real fight he'd be dead."
"So you, the first time Gohan fights, criticize him when he almost dies for the first time, having had no prior experience fighting?" Gohan stopped crying.
"Hmph."
"Okay, Gohan, sorry, now I am gonna take over." Goku gave Raditz a death glare. "Let's start with the basics, and by the end of the day you're going to chop this tree right here down with one hand.

It was 2 PM on Friday, and Gohan was finally training with Raditz.
"Okay runt, training with your father has hopefully toughened you up enough to fight. Now, if you don't lose for 10 seconds then your father has done an adequate job." Raditz immediately came at Gohan with a flurry of kicks. They were slow, but any one of them would have launched Gohan through the nearby Mount Paozu. One second had passed.
Raditz took faster shots, finding holes in Gohan's newly developed guard and forcing him to fill them in. Gohan occasionally threw a punch or kick, but mostly those were to keep Raditz a sizable distance away. Finally, one hit landed on Gohan. Raditz started attacking from all sides, with his stand and himself, while Gohan had to try to find a way out before his guard failed. Gohan kicked out at Raditz' stand, hoping to find enough contact to bounce away.
Unfortunately, when he did, he went right over Raditz, who reached up and grabbed his tail. Gohan immediately lost all of his energy. "It's been nine seconds, runt." Raditz grabbed Gohan's face. "If I was Vegeta, I would've incinerated you where you stood."
"Owwwwwwwwwwwwww."
"Eleven seconds this time. And no trying to retreat."
An hour later, Gohan had to keep up with Raditz for a minute at a time. And, it was happening. Gohan's stand, which was copying Time of your Life's ability to be deployed in battle, was helping him last a lot longer in combat.
Of course, Raditz still pinned him a second before the end, every time. And now, it was time to break for lunch.
"You know, you can take a hit on purpose. If the enemy is battering your guard, a full length punch will disrupt his timing and let you get a couple in. Anyway, as we're already done, let's start the next round. So, your attack power is based on your strength, and your ki. Your ki is what gives your muscles their power, and since it flows equally through your whole body, more muscles means that you have more ki on them. Understand?"
"Yes. So, does that mean that attacking with blasts is less powerful?"
"Not specifically. Ki compresses through your muscles, so both blasts and punches and kicks are helped by muscle growth. Now, because we have senzu beans, I'll show you something that might help in the future. Having trained in the mornings with your father, I am now better able to manipulate ki. So, I figured out that I can do this."
Raditz powered up.
Stand names and powers:
Raditz: Good Riddance; reason is "Time of your life" is an alternate name, the power is he can see your entire life by pointing at your forehead.
Gohan: The HERO; Gohan's ability gives him a suit that looks like the Great Saiyaman costume when used. Base can copy one nearby stand power at a time.
Goku: X Survivor; Goku is able to reset himself and his opponent to the last point they had no damage. X Survivor comes from the theme song of the TOP arc. I can currently tell you that there will be 5 'acts' after this one. Second act should come at an appropriate time for an evolution.
Chi-Chi: Gera Gera Po; Name comes from Yo-kai Watch's first opening. It'll mostly be one of the more comic relief stands, but it negates ki when within 2 meters of the user. It's going to be used in funnier scenes. Then again, she could end up cheesing Beerus (but she won't until after the big BOG fight, sorry feminists).
