Last time on Dragon Ball X: Unite, SpongeBob, Danny, Gokin, Greninja, Jimmy, and Timmy finally got into Plankton's factory fortress. They managed to free Patrick and all of the captured Jellyfish, and also shut the factory down for good. The only thing left to do is find Plankton and stop him! They got to him and a captured Mr. Krabs up on the roof of Plankton's restaurant, the Chum Bucket. Even with Plankton armed with his big crab robot, our heroes were still able to stop Plankton, free Mr. Krabs and saved Bikini Bottom. Even defeated, Plankton still smirks and mentions that the Syndicate is still gathering energy from two more worlds to power up the device known as their Doomsday Machine. Plankton managed to escape and our heroes now leave Bikini Bottom behind to save another world from the Syndicate!

Back to West City


Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, SpongeBob, Gokin, and Greninja got back to Jimmy's lab in Retroville. With Goddard drying him off, Jimmy got ready to set the portal for their next destination.

"So, it turns out that the Syndicate is gathering energy for this thing called the Doomsday Machine." Timmy was wringing his pink hat dry. "So, where are we going next?"

"So far, we've saved Amity Park and Bikini Bottom. That leaves Timmy's world, Dimmsdale, and Gokin's world, West City." Jimmy was sitting at his computer desk and looked at the screen.

SpongeBob spoke up. "Oh, I know! Let's save West City first, and then get on over to Dimmsdale afterwards!"

"Why go there first?" Danny questioned the sponge.

"Well, other than saving it from the evil Syndicate, I kinda like to go to the world where Gokin learned those attacks and this golden form that Jimmy called a Super Saiyan." SpongeBob answered.

Timmy smiled and turned to the Saiyan. "Yeah, dude! Where'd you learn to do those awesome moves?"

"I learned how to fight from both my mom and my dad. See, I come from a family of martial artists." Gokin shrugged.

SpongeBob smiled. "So you learned from your family? Did your dad help you turn into a Super Saiyan?"

Gokin rubbed the back of his head. "Actually, I kinda turned into that on my own it was during my Pokemon Journey in a region known as the Kalos Region."

"Does anyone else in your world change into a Super Saiyan?" Danny asked.

Gokin nodded. "Yeah, there's me, my older sister Pan, my dad Gohan, my Uncle Goten, my grandpa Goku, even three members of the Brief family."

"Who?" Timmy asked. "Family friend. My friend Bulla can change into a Super Saiyan now, and there's also her brother Trunks, and also their dad Vegeta." Gokin finished counting the Super Saiyans.

Cosmo and Wanda poofed above the boys again. "What about all those light show attacks you used earlier?" Cosmo asked. "Well, my dad was the one who showed me how to use the Kamehameha Wave. He got a little help from the man who invented the wave, a turtle hermit named Master Roshi." Gokin answered.

"Is there anything else you learned from your family?" Wanda was curious herself.

Gokin began to think about it. "Well...hmm..." Finally he remembered. "Oh yeah! My grandpa taught me about this technique known as the Fusion Technique."

"The Fusion Technique?" Timmy asked in confusion. Jimmy answered this time. "I've heard about that technique while I was gathering information about Gokin's world. It's a technique where two people of equal power and roughly equal size merge together to create a single powerful warrior."

Gokin smiled and nodded. "That's right, Jimmy. In fact, that technique can be pretty handy."

"Have you seen this Fusion Technique in action before?" Danny asked.

"Grandpa got Trunks and Uncle Goten to demonstrate the technique while he was showing me, Pan, Bulla, Uub, and Nim how it's done. Actually, Grandpa used this technique before in an actual fight. He fused with Vegeta to form a warrior called Gogeta." Gokin looked annoyed as he went on. "Of course they could've defeated the enemy, Omega Shenron, if they weren't goofing around."

"Hey, Gokin?" SpongeBob spoke up again. "Can we see how the technique works? Please? I want to see how it looks!" SpongeBob also kinda begged.

Wanda even agreed with the sponge. "Yeah! Come on, Gokin. Show us how it's done."

Gokin blinked a couple of times, but he smiled and nodded. "Well, okay. I can show you guys what my grandpa showed me about it." He took a couple of steps away from the others in order to demonstrate. "It's easier to show than to explain. Like Jimmy said, the two performing the technique have to be equal in both power and size or it won't work. They have to be in perfect sync or it'll result in a failed fusion, their postures and poses have to match each other."

"Poses?" Timmy raised an eyebrow. Gokin nodded. "That's right. It's pretty much like a cross between traditional fighting stances and water ballet...only without the water."

"Ooh! Ballet!" SpongeBob beamed a bit. "Did he just say ballet?" Danny asked. He didn't like where this is going now.

Gokin got ready for the first position of the Fusion Technique. "Just watch for a second, guys. I promise, it's a very helpful technique. Fuuu..." Gokin moved a few steps to the left and moved his arms over his head. "Now, think of two rivers flowing towards one another becoming more and more narrow as they get closer. Sion!" He moved his knees and arms into the second position. "It's important to get the knees and arms into the right position. HA!" Finally, Gokin moved into the final position, his index fingers pointed to his left and his tail was slightly curled. "The two rivers converge at two single points. The points give under the pressure and the rivers flood into each other, thus becoming one big river."

Jimmy, Danny, and Wanda couldn't stop blinking after the demonstration. "...You've gotta be kidding me." Danny muttered.

Both Timmy and Cosmo were rolling on the floor, laughing their heads off. "That's how it's done!?" Timmy laughed. "That just looks so silly!" Cosmo laughed.

SpongeBob, however, happily beamed at the technique. "Wow! That looks so cool! I can't wait to see how it looks for real."

Gokin smiled at the sponge. "Well, if you really want to see it in action, my sister's been talking about using it with Bulla one day. I can always-" He was cut off by some sort of ringing sound.

Jimmy quickly turned around, but was confused when he saw that the ringing wasn't coming from his alarm. "Strange, the alarm's not going off."

"Then where is that ringing coming from?" Timmy asked.

"Sorry, guys. That's me, I've got a call on my Holo Caster." Gokin quickly pulled out a green device from his pocket.

"What's a Holololo...Whatever that thing is?" SpongeBob had trouble sounding it out, so he pointed at the Holo Caster instead.

"It's kinda like a video cell phone. It shows an image of the person calling you or who you're trying to call yourself. Here, I'll show you." Gokin pressed a button to stop the ringing, then it showed an image of a girl who looked happy to see Gokin. "Shauna?"

Shauna beamed happily. "G-Meister! Oh, thank goodness! I finally got through!"

Another voice spoke through the Holo Caster. "Shauna? Did you finally get Gokin on the line?" Shauna smiled. "Yes, he's on right now!" Shauna moved out of the way. Her image was replaced with the image of another girl, one wearing a straw hat. "Gokin!"

Gokin gulped. "Uh, hi, Pan."

At first, Pan looked relieved and worried at the same time, but now she looked furious. "Don't 'Hi, Pan' me, mister! What took you so long to reply!? We've been trying to contact you forever!" Pan's outburst made everyone in Jimmy's lab yelp, step back, and cover their ears.

"Man, who is that?" Timmy rubbed his sore ear. "I think that might be Gokin's sister." SpongeBob replied.

"Pan, just take it easy. I can explain. I've been helping someone out with a similar problem West City's having." Gokin said. "Well, right now, we're the ones that could use your help! Those little gremlins are tearing the world apart, we need you here pronto!" Pan explained.

Gokin gasped. "The Syndicate Troopers! Okay, Pan! I'm coming back!" Gokin turned his Holo Caster off and turned to the boy genius. "Jimmy!"

"Way ahead of you, Gokin!" Jimmy just finished typing away and the portal opened up again. "We're all set to head off to West City!"

"Let's go!" Gokin returned Greninja to his Poke Ball. He was the first to jump into the portal. The others quickly followed after their friend.


Gokin, Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, and SpongeBob popped out of the portal right in front of Gokin's house.

"Is this it?" Timmy asked Jimmy. "Affirmative. I set the machine to take us to Gokin's house." Jimmy replied.

Danny looked at the house. "Gotta say, Gokin, that's a nice place you got here." The Ghost Boy noticed a golden statue next to the house. "Who's that?"

"That's my Granddad, Hercule Satan. He's known as the world champion, and people think he's saved the world." Gokin answered.

"Think?" SpongeBob gasped a little. "You mean he didn't save your world?"

Gokin smiled and shook his head. "Actually, Granddad did help Grandpa Goku save the world a couple of times in the past." Gokin looked at Hercule's statue with a small smile. "In fact, I'm sure the whole universe wouldn't even be here without his help."

Cosmo and Wanda were floating above the boys as they looked at the statue themselves. "So, where is he now?" Cosmo asked. Gokin frowned a bit. "That's the thing, I don't know."

"Cheer up, Gokin. I'm sure he's somewhere safe from the Syndicate." Wanda assured. "I hope so." Gokin still looked a bit sad.

"In any case, we should probably meet up with Pan. She sounded pretty serious when Gokin was talking to her." Jimmy got them back on track.

"That's right!" Gokin quickly ran up to his front door. Just as he was about to reach for the knob, another voice stopped him in his tracks. "It's no use checking your house, Gokin. It's empty."

Cosmo and Wanda quickly poofed into Timmy's Star Shooter just as the boys quickly turned to see a tall figure in a white cape. SpongeBob screamed and shivered a bit. "Who are you?"

Gokin, however, smiled at the figure. "Master Piccolo!"

Danny whipped his head around to the Saiyan with them. "Gokin, you know this guy?"

Gokin nodded and walked over to Piccolo. "Yeah, he's my mentor. He even trained my dad when he was a kid. Master Piccolo is quite a genius when it comes to strategic fighting."

"So, why does he have green skin?" Timmy raised an eyebrow.

Piccolo answered that question. "That's because I'm not from this world. I'm a being known as a Namekian." Piccolo turned his head to Gokin again. "But we'll get to that another time. You got the call from your friend and your sister, right?" Once Gokin nodded, Piccolo continued speaking. "Good, then you should know what's been going on around here."

"Pan said that the Syndicate Troopers and Tao have been making a mess of this world. Master Piccolo, if they're not in my house, then where are they?" Gokin asked his mentor.

"I took them a location that not even those 'Syndicate Troopers' would ever find them. I'll take you to them, get your new friends and follow me." Piccolo lifted up into the air.

Gokin picked up Jimmy and Timmy before he flew after Piccolo. Danny flew after them while carrying SpongeBob in his arms.

As they were flying, Piccolo decided to ask Gokin something important. "You seem to know what's happening, Gokin. Tell me, what's going on?"

Gokin looked serious. "Grandpa's old enemy, Tao, has teamed up with some villains from four other worlds, calling their team the Syndicate. First, they created these fiends called Syndicate Troopers and released them into our worlds to steal energy from it. At first, we didn't know why they were stealing the energy, but after a while we found out that they're gathering the energy to power up this device called the Doomsday Machine."

"Doomsday Machine? Not sure I like the sound of that." Piccolo said.

"They're working pretty fast to get their Doomsday Machine ready. My enemy, Vlad, already got them enough ghost energy for their device." Danny mentioned.

SpongeBob shivered. "And Plankton must've already got enough sting energy from the Jellyfish before we even confronted him on top of the Chum Bucket."

"Sounds like you boys were pretty busy." Piccolo said.

"So far, we've save Danny's world of Amity Park and SpongeBob's undersea world of Bikini Bottom. West City's the third world we've visited." Timmy said.

"According to what we heard from Pan, I'd say saving West City is going to be quite challenging." Jimmy added.

"You don't know how right you are." Piccolo thought. Without another word, Piccolo, Gokin, and Danny kept flying while carrying Jimmy, Timmy, and SpongeBob.


After a good few minutes of flying Piccolo, Gokin, Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, and SpongeBob finally made it to a far off island miles away from West City and the Syndicate Troopers.

They landed on the island. Timmy looked around the island. "Nice hiding spot." "Uh, are you sure it'll be safe here?" SpongeBob couldn't help but ask.

"They haven't gotten to us yet, we should be fine here for a while." Piccolo answered.

Just then, someone nervously popped his head from a corner of a big rock. "Piccolo? Is that you? Did you come back?"

Gokin turned and smiled at the person. "Granddad!"

The person, Hercule, smiled once he saw Gokin. "Gokin, it's you!" He happily ran over to give his laughing grandson a big hug. "I'm so relieved! My grandson's come back safe and sound!"

The others smiled at the reunion, but a familiar female voice spoke up. "Gramps? I sensed Piccolo coming over, but who's with him?" Hercule put Gokin down just as they saw Pan come over to them. Right behind her were the other members to Gokin's team; Bulla, Uub, Nim, Shauna, Serena, Trevor, and Tierno. They smiled in relief once they saw Gokin.

"Hey, G-Meister! You're back!" Tierno happily exclaimed.

Nim walked over to Gokin. "Welcome back, buddy." The two of them smiled and shared a fist bump.

Pan walked over and gave her brother a stern look with her hands on her hips. "Where have you been? We were worried sick about you!"

Gokin nervously laughed a little. "I was called to help deal with a similar problem we're facing for the moment. With their help, of course." Gokin waved his hand over so his team could look over at Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, and SpongeBob.

Bulla raised an eyebrow while looking at the four of them...mainly SpongeBob. "You seriously got some help...from a sponge?"

"Who are they?" Trevor asked.

Gokin smiled and began to introduce his new friends. "Those four are Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, and SpongeBob. They're having similar problems in their worlds like the one we have here."

"And you just left us here while you helped them and not us? Your team?" Serena asked. She sounded like she's still upset about Gokin vanishing on them in the middle of a crisis.

"Sorry, Serena. Things happened kinda fast." Gokin apologized with a shrug.

Timmy spoke up next. "Uh, Gokin? Who are these guys?"

"Oh, right!" Gokin turned around to introduce his team to his four new friends. "Guys, this is the next generation of Z-Fighters. There's my older sister Pan, this is Bulla, he's Uub, that's my best friend Nim." He moved over to his friends from Kalos. "And these four are Pokemon Trainers like me. This is Serena, she's Shauna, he's Tierno, and this is Trevor."

Tierno walked over to the four of them with a grin. "I know we've just met and all, but any friend of Gokin's is a friend of mine." With that said, he happily shook hands with Jimmy.

Uub nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's nice to meet you."

"So, Gokin, you have any idea what's going on?" Nim got them back on track by asking the question.

Gokin looked serious. "Okay, guys. It's like this." He explained what's been going on and what Tao's been trying to do.

After the explanation, Hercule nervously gulped and blinked a couple of times. "You mean the once notorious Mercenary Tao has joined forces with four other bad guys from other worlds? And they're trying to steal energy to power up this Doomsday Machine of theirs?"

Gokin nodded. "Yeah. So far, they got plenty of ghost energy as well as energy from Jellyfish stings."

"I guess that would explain why those fiends called the Syndicate Troopers have been kidnapping Pokemon." Serena said. "So the Syndicate could steal their energy for this Doomsday Machine of theirs. That would make sense." Trevor added.

"What do you mean kidnapping Pokemon?" Danny asked in confusion.

"While we were trying to escape, we noticed some of the Syndicate Troopers knocking Pokemon out and dragging them off somewhere." Shauna answered.

SpongeBob gasped. "Oh no! Those poor Pokemon! The Syndicate's taking their energy for the Doomsday Machine!"

"It's not just Pokemon." Everyone turned their heads in Piccolo's direction. "Those Syndicate Troopers are also knocking martial artists out and taking them away. So it's more than likely that Tao's stealing the energy of martial artists as well as Pokemon."

"Leaping Leptons! If that's true then the Syndicate will have plenty of energy from this world in no time!" Jimmy said.

Gokin smiled. "Don't worry, Jimmy. Before I left West City, Grandpa stayed behind to deal with Tao. He beat him before, he can do it again, right?" Once he turned his head over to his team, he saw the sad looks they were giving him. The looks made Gokin drop his smile. "...Guys? What is it?"

Pan walked over and gave Gokin a gentle hug. "Gokin, you've missed a lot while you were gone." She pulled away to look Gokin in the eyes. "One of the first martial artists to get captured by Tao and his Troopers...was Grandpa."

Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, and SpongeBob were shocked...but not as shocked as Gokin. "What!?"

"It's true." The five of them turned to see Uub's serious look. "Goku was about to fight against Tao, but the Troopers took him by surprise, knocked him out...and Tao dragged him away himself."

"B-but...Grandpa's one of the strongest fighters I know. There's no way he can be captured." Poor Gokin was in denial.

"Gokin." The sad Saiyan turned his head to Piccolo. "...It's the truth."

"Oh no..." Gokin looked down in sadness. "...Did anyone else we know get taken away?"

Piccolo closed his eyes and had his arms crossed. "...I'm afraid so. They also got Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Goten, your parents, Trunks..."

Bulla looked down in anger. "They even took my dad!" Her fists were shaking a little.

"That's terrible!" SpongeBob gasped.

Trevor nodded. "We were lucky enough to get away from the chaos when it happened."

Gokin looked over at Nim. "Nim, what about your dad and 18? Did they get captured as well."

Nim shook his head. "I haven't seen or heard from my dad or Aunt 18 all day. I just hope they're safe."

Hercule suddenly growled in anger. "That fiend! How dare he kidnap my daughter!? I won't let him get away with this! When I find him, I'm gonna teach him not to mess with the family of the Champion!"

"Good luck trying to find him." Timmy deadpanned.

"Yeah, we literally have no idea where Tao is hiding." Danny added.

Trevor suddenly smiled. "Not yet anyway, but we will soon."

Gokin, Danny, SpongeBob, Jimmy, and Timmy turned to him in confusion. "What do you mean?" Gokin asked.

Pan gave her brother a friendly smirk. "We've got Giru to spy on those Syndicate Troopers to figure out where Tao is and where they're taking the martial artists and the Pokemon."

Gokin smiled. "Good thinking, Pan!" He shared a high-five with his sister.

"Who's Giru?" SpongeBob asked in confusion.

"A little machine friend of ours. Pan met him while on a quest for these items called the Black-Star Dragon Balls." Nim answered.

Jimmy smiled happily. "A machine you say? Very clever to use Giru for some sort of undercover mission. What else can he do?"

"So far, locate Dragon Balls." Pan looked annoyed. "I'm still annoyed that little droid stole our original Dragon Radar and ate it."

"Ooh, and capable of integrating any kind of technology he consumes into his system. I'll have to study Giru myself." Jimmy paused after seeing the annoyed look Timmy was giving him. "...After we save our worlds from the Syndicate, of course."

"Wait. How are we supposed to know where he's at?" Danny asked.

Bulla smirked and pulled out a light blue Holo Caster. "I've been monitoring it from my Holo Caster. Whatever Giru sees, we'll be able to see as well." She turned it on and enlarged the screen.

Gokin smiled. "Oh yeah, I forgot you and Bulma were tweaking Giru a bit. So now he's also like our security camera?"

"Right on the money, leader." Bulla kept her eyes on the screen. On the screen, from Giru's point of view, they saw that Syndicate Troopers were taking Pokemon and martial artists down some dirt road. Then, Bulla typed a little on her Holo Caster to speak to Giru. "Bulla to Giru. Bulla to Giru. Do you read me, little guy?"

Obviously Giru heard her, because they heard him reply. "Giru, Giru. Giru to Bulla. Giru read Bulla loud and clear. Giru right on top of the mysterious kidnappers."

Bulla rolled her eyes. "I can see that, Bolt Boy. See if you can fly ahead of the line of Troopers and find out where they're taking the martial artists and the Pokemon."

"Roger!" Giru flew a little faster, but was still being extra careful.

Gokin looked at the screen and noticed the many martial artists and the many more Pokemon in the clutches of Tao's Syndicate Troopers. "...How long was I gone?" He couldn't help but ask.

After a few minutes, something came into Giru's view. "Giru to Bulla! Have visual on Trooper destination! Giru repeat! Have visual on Trooper destination!"

The team, Hercule, and Piccolo looked at the screen and saw where the Syndicate Troopers were heading. "That's where they're going? It kinda looks like an old villain base in an old action movie." Timmy mentioned. True to what Timmy said, where the Troopers were heading looks like an old base that's been abandoned years ago.

"Figures, a villain normally hides in the last place anyone would look." Jimmy rolled his eyes.

"Good work, Giru. Keep a visual on that old base, I'll try to get the coordinates." Bulla fiddled with her Holo Caster a bit. She downloaded a digital map leading to the base and grinned at her progress. "Got it!"

Gokin smiled and nodded. "Great work! Now let's get ready to stop Tao!"

Just then, a fire ball was seen on screen. It barely missed Giru. The little machine looked down at the Syndicate Grunts glaring up at him. They began to worry.

"They're on to us!" Trevor exclaimed. "Giru, get out of there!" Pan quickly ordered. "Giru, Giru, Giru!" Giru flew away in a hurry.

Bulla quickly turned her Holo Caster off. "This is bad!" "We need to get moving! If the Syndicate Troopers found Giru, it's only a matter of time before they find us!" Jimmy said.

SpongeBob saw something in the distance and gulped. "Uh-oh!" The others turned to the sponge. "What's wrong?" Serena asked. "They found us!" SpongeBob pointed ahead. They turned and saw some Syndicate Troopers with wings flying their way.

Gokin growled. "Looks like we're gonna have to fight our way through!" He was about ready to pull out his Power Pole, but he stopped when Piccolo placed a hand in front of him. "Master Piccolo?"

The rest of the team looked and saw that Piccolo and even Hercule were giving the approaching Troopers a serious glare. "Leave these pipsqueaks to us, kids. You need to get away from here." Hercule told the shocked kids.

"Gramps!?" Pan couldn't believe her ears.

"We'll hold them off as long as we can. This should give you enough time to come up with a plan to stop Tao." Piccolo said.

Gokin didn't want to leave his grandfather and his mentor behind. "Granddad, Master Piccolo, no! We can't leave you here! They'll take you guys too!"

"Don't argue with us, Gokin! I'm not gonna let those guys take you or Pan away the same way they took Videl away!" Hercule said sternly.

"But..." Gokin looked really sad and worried.

Piccolo turned his head slightly. "Don't worry about us, Gokin, we'll be fine. Even if we do get captured by these little gremlins, I know that you'll pull through and save everyone." The Namekian gave the Saiyan a gentle assuring smile. "I believe in you, Gokin. Your grandfather believes in you. Even Shenron believes in you. If anyone can stop the Syndicate, it's you and your team."

Gokin looked ready to cry as he looked at both Hercule and Piccolo. In his heart, he knew that they had faith in him, but it hurts him on the inside to leave his mentor and grandfather behind. Right now though...there wasn't much of a choice.

He got one of his Poke Balls out. "Serena, Trevor! Get Altaria and Aerodactyl out! We need to get out of here!" The rest of team were surprised by this.

"But what about your granddad and Mr. Piccolo?" SpongeBob timidly asked.

"They're buying us time for us to escape, we can't waste time standing here!" Gokin brought out his Charizard. Serena and Trevor looked at each other, but they decided to do what Gokin said. They brought out Altaria and Aerodactyl.

Without another word, the team took off to the sky. Gokin, Pan, Bulla, Nim, Uub, and Danny flew on their own. Jimmy, Timmy, and SpongeBob rode on Charizard. Serena and Shauna were on Altaria's back. Trevor and Tierno rode with Aerodactyl.

Piccolo and Hercule smiled at the retreating team. "Pan, Gokin? Good luck. Gramps loves you both so much." Hercule couldn't help but say to himself.

"You sure you want to stay behind? There's a good chance they could catch us." Piccolo warned.

"I've gotta do what I can to protect my grandkids. These punks are gonna get a taste of the Champ's power." Hercule declared. "Besides, at least this way I'll see my sweet Videl again."

Piccolo smiled. "You're a good man, Hercule. A bit cocky for your own good, but a good man." He looked ahead again and got into a fighting stance. "Here they come, get ready!"

"Right!" Hercule got in his own stance. The two of them stood there and waited for the Syndicate Troopers that got closer and closer.

As he was flying off with his team, tears were flying off Gokin's face. He wiped them away with his sleeve, but more just kept on coming.


Things in Amity Park and Bikini Bottom were pretty bad, but it looks like things are even worse in West City! Now that Tao has Pokemon and fighters like Goku and Vegeta in his clutches, what can Gokin and his friends do to save them!? They'll need to think fast and come up with a plan to stop Tao on the next Dragon Ball X: Unite!
