The Son and the Brief families gathered at Bulma's House the next day as Whis had arrived to discuss the evil forces in the Black Star Dragon Balls. Whis had told everyone Ultimate Shenron warned about the Black Star Shadow Dragons, evil entities far more powerful than Earth Shadow Dragons could've been. Tensions were sky-high, like at the summoning of Ultimate Shenron. Even Whis felt a little unnerved at the idea of such evil forces arriving in a matter of days.

"So, is there truly nothing we can do to stop them from coming?" Goku asked Whis.

"I'm afraid not, Goku. These entities you encounter have nothing to stop their progress from awakening." Whis replied.

"And these Black Star Shadow Dragons will try to kill every living being in existence?!" Veget half-yelled.

"Exactly. I've rarely encountered such evil beings, but these Dragons certainly take the prize." Whis would look at the reflection of his wand.

"Well, as far as beating them is concerned, the Gods know these evil forces are challenging to kill. The Earth Shadow Dragons would've already been enough of a problem, let alone Black Star ones. And as far as the Namekian Dragon Balls are concerned, even those would never compare if they have Shadow Dragons." Beerus gives everyone an idea of the power of evil forces.

Everyone became petrified of the impending danger the multiverse would get. Goku holds the Black Four-Star Dragon Ball in horror at what could've happened with the Earth Dragon Balls. None of the threats everyone had faced until this point would compare to what they're now dealing with.

"Well, I certainly hope you have your loved ones tucked into a safe place because you'll need all the help you can get. And because I'm a Destroyer, I can't meddle with these affairs, as you all know. But if things get out of control, that's when Whis and I will jump in and save your asses. After all, we have restored all life in Universe 7 and the other Universes. So, hopefully, when all of this is done, you can return to your peaceful lives again." Beerus and Whis would fly off from Bulma's House.

Everyone took a moment to process what they had to do.

"Well, you heard him," Goten spoke.

"We need to prepare once the Black Star Shadow Dragons awaken." Trunks ran upstairs to get his sword.

"Wait up!" Bulla yelled as she followed his older brother.

Androids 17 and 18 looked at each other for a moment.

"Sis, you should watch your family if something like this goes down. I'll be watching over mine." Android 17 reminded her.

"I know. We are not strong enough to face these Dragons for all we know. Even after growing in power ever since The Tournament of Power." Android 18 clenched her fist in frustration over feeling useless.

"Hey, it's okay, 18." Krillin squeezed her hand gently to soothe her.

"Mom..." Marron hugged Android 18.

"What if there's a way to get stronger, and we haven't thought about it until now?" Videl asked.

"I think the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is our best chance," Gohan replied, looking at Pan for a moment.

"If that's the case, I'll be joining you there. I may not get as strong as fast as Pan does, but that's not going to stop me from joining the battle." Goten replied to his older brother.

"We'll see you guys in 10 days." Goku nodded his head.

They all responded with a nod before flying off to the lookout. Goku and Vegeta would watch Trunk's sword on his back, along with Bulla, flying away. Only Goku, Chichi, Bulma, and Vegeta were left at the house.

"What are you going to do, you two?" Chi-Chi asked Goku and Vegeta.

"Why aren't you following them?" Bulma asked as well.

"I'm going to Beerus's planet to train there for ten days. Whis told me his training style would be far more grueling than what Beerus had given me. If that means it'll save us all, so be it. I'll be back once I'm finished." Vegeta began to walk away before being hugged by Bulma.

"Please, be careful. I don't know what Whis has in store for you, but don't work yourself too hard..." Bulma pleaded with her husband.

"I know my limits, Bulma. It'll be okay..." Vegeta replied before using Instant Transmission to Beerus' planet.

"What about you, Goku?" Chi-Chi asked.

"There's someone I need to get from a village. And that someone used to be a kid back at the 28th Worlds Martial Arts Tournament. And my first student. He's been a champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament since Mr. Satan retired, getting prize money to keep his village afloat. I think you know who that is..." Goku describes who the fighter is.

Chi-Chi and Bulma's eyes widen at the realization of who the fighter is.

"Are you saying...?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Yes... Him..." Goku replied before flying off.


In a village on a small island, many families spend their days playing and making crops to keep their food supply in check. Goku had just arrived to pick up the fighter that belonged to this village. Although Goku hadn't spent much time with the fighter when he was all grown up, they still are relatively close to each other, as Goku taught him about his hidden powers and how to control them. Goku doesn't know how strong the fighter has gotten, but he hopes he'll be the ally everyone needs.

While smiling at seeing the families enjoy their lives, Goku notices the fighter walking towards him with a serious look. Goku knew who it was because of the mohawk.

"Hey, Uub. I assume you know what's going on?" Goku asked his student.

"Yeah, Beerus told me about the Black Star Shadow Dragons. I'm willing to join the battle if you need me to. I haven't skipped a day of training." Uub replied with a bow to his master.

Goku bowed to his student as well. He and Uub fly off from the village, with all the residents looking on.
