Also, if anyone is reading Fanfiction on Mobile, and like ads keep appearing Mid-story, I feel for you. I hate it alot.
So how does everyone feel about Android 21 Lab coat in FighterZ? I finally get an idea on how she would fight differently if she wasn't fighting as a Majin, so hopefully when I do have her go to battle along with everyone else, you'll notice some difference in abilities. Also, Happy day she's getting Nerfed!
(P.S.) Characters like Goku or Vegeta from the 'Super' series will just be called 'Goku' and 'Vegeta'. Characters like Vegeta from GT will be called 'GT Vegeta', while Goku from GT will be called 'GT Goku' or 'young Goku' and 'Kid Goku' respectively.
But Gohan in Super will be called 'Gohan', and Teen Gohan from Z will be called 'Teen Gohan' or 'young Gohan' respectively.

(RECAP)
Last time on Dragon Ball Super! Lord Beerus, angered at Bulma's disregard to the Gods warnings about time travel, had damaged the Time Machine, unintentionally causing a chain reaction, creating Cracks to form into the Space/Time continuum!
Bulma and our Hero Goku, witnessing this phenomenon, were given a vague task brought to them by Whis, the caretaker of the God of Destruction.
"Goku, Bulma, I have a task for the both of you. Make sure that you follow up on the disturbances that happened due to this small mishap."
With these words, Bulma was set to work as Goku enlisted the help of Goten to find his brother Gohan, and Piccolo to find any wayward power levels that scattered across the planet Earth, only for Goku to get an unexpected call by the Supreme Kai also asking for his help!
With Goku going to the Land of the Kais, and Goten searching for his brother to help, Piccolo had found one interesting blast from the past in the form of one teenage Gohan! But that wasn't the only surprise for the day as Goten had stumbled upon an even smaller version of his father Goku in the hospital at Central City!
But wait, Vegeta has finally made it home, sporting an all-new look at Bulma's approval, until Trunks had made the startling discovery that 'Another' Vegeta, 'their' Vegeta has come back to Earth accompanied by Whis!
With the two Saiyan Princes' meeting face to face, will Bulma or Trunks be able to talk some sense into them? Or will their respective Egos collide? And are there other anomalies that appeared from other Timelines as well?
Find out, Right Now! On Dragon Ball Super!
Chapter 3: Double Trouble!
~Earlier~
(Location: Central City Hospital Rooftop)
"Hey Dad! I thought I sensed...you...here?" Goten had excitedly said before he finally saw his dad and gave way to the confusion at what he was witnessing. Then Goten along with Goku had stared wide eyes at astonishment.
"G-Goten?" The Young Goku stammered out, looking at Goten in surprise.
"Uh Dad?" Goten also said out loud. They both blinked at each other before they both shouted at the same time.
"WHY ARE YOU SMALL!?"
~Now~
"Eh D-Dad!? Wha-what happened? How did you get like that?" Goten nervously asked his now tiny Dad as Gt Goku sulked on the floor, in his thoughts on how his son is a child too.
(Aw man! This isn't good! When Chi-Chi finds out that Goten turned little too, she's gonna kill me!) Gt Goku thought, frightened at what his wife would do with this information. He would have thought more crazy ideas on what his wife would react to this until Goten started to ask more questions.
"Dad? I thought you had to meet with the Supreme Kai, did something happen?" Goten said worried about what had happened that caused this. Gt Goku perked up at the mention of the Supreme Kai, and immediately zipped to his Son and started to excitedly, and desperately, talk to him.
"That's it! If we go to the Supreme Kai right now, we can fix all this mess and I won't get in trouble with your mom!"-"Huh!?" Gt Goku said but Goten was too confused to understand what was going on. Gt Goku then wrapped his right arm around his son's shoulder and put two fingers on his head, stretching his senses to home in on the Supreme Kais energy. He got a small lock on it and was ready to teleport, but his energy was still fluctuating from before and wound up appearing several miles high in the sky instead with his son.
Goten feeling that they were in the air started to hover but felt his child father slip while trying to fly as well. Quickly holding his dad up from his mid-section caused Gt Goku to relax from flailing his arms to keep from falling. All this did was cause Goten to be even more confused than before at his father's predicament.
"Uh Dad? What's going on? Why can't you fly right? Do you need to learn again?" Goten naively asked while Gt Goku gathered enough energy to try and float from before. Goten, feeling his dad's energy, slowly let go as Gt Goku had slowly floated midair, all while performing a balancing act to right himself from falling.
"Oh great, my energy is still off-W-W-Whoa!" Gt Goku said but nearly fell over but was timely saved by Goten again by holding on his arm. "Aw man, now what am I gonna do?" Gt Goku questioned out loud, but Goten had a good idea that he can run by with him.
"Um, Dad? Since you can't fly, or use Instant Transmission, why don't you use Nimbus? We can go to Bulma since you don't want to see mom right now." Goten said smiling at his now kid father, while Gt Goku's eyes lit up at the idea.
"Yea! That's a great idea!" Gt Goku exclaimed as he took a deep breath and used his free hand to cup around his mouth.
"NIMBUUUUS!"
With that shout, out in the distant horizon, a yellow streak sped its way to the two Saiyan's position. That yellow streak then curved towards their direction revealing the yellow Flying Nimbus Cloud, stopping with a small audible screech in front of Gt Goku. Laughing, Gt Goku swings off Goten's grip and lands softly on the cloud, slightly patting Nimbus as he reacquaints himself to his childhood transport.
"Alright! Now we can go see Bulma and have the Dragon Balls fix this up!" Gt Goku said as he faces his son, who was confused about his dad's comment about the Dragon balls.
"Huh? But Dad, we already used the Dragon balls remember?" Goten questioned, making Gt Goku even more confused, until he thought out loud about what could be used.
"Hm, i guess you guys used it to fix Earth after we defeated the last Shadow Dragon..." Gt Goku murmured to himself until he said more this time towards his son. "...But Goten you're a kid like me now! How did that happen?" He questioned, genuinely worried and curious about his son's supposed predicament. All this did was confused Goten even more.
"But Dad! I'm always a Kid! How is it that you are a kid now when you were big earlier?" Goten asked his father, making Gt Goku look surprised at what his son had said. He would have answered, but both Saiyan's were interrupted by a power level that was steadily rising. They both turned in its direction and felt-
"Vegeta!?" Gt Goku and Goten exclaimed but that wasn't the only thing they felt.
"Um Dad!? Why do i feel like that there are two Vegetas?" Goten asked, dumbfounded at what he was feeling. Gt Goku on the other hand wasted no time in his decision to go there.
"No time! We need to go now!" Gt Goku shouted as he and Nimbus flew in its direction, surprising Goten, but was quickly followed all the same.
~Around the Same Time~
(Location: Capsule Corporation)
Running through a hallway out from her lab, Bulma and Trunks were making great haste to go outside to see the two Vegetas that were about to make her backyard their own personal training ground. As she carried the container in one hand, Bulma had swiftly reached for a controller in her coat pocket to so she could put the field up on the backyard to avoid any serious damage that the two Vegetas would no doubt accomplish. Coming out the hallway to the living area where the balcony was just on the other side, Bulma had seen her mother Mrs. Briefs, who had been happily humming as she served Whis a chocolate mousse cake with strawberries, surprising the blue haired Scientist and her son.
"Oh, Bulma hello! I must say, the texture and sweetness of this cake is positively remarkable! Oh, this is such a marvelously tasty treat!" Whis said as he held the plate of mousse cake on one hand and a fork on the other that had a piece on it. Bulma stared at them both before approaching the Angel in a hurry.
"Whis! Please tell me that there are 'Two' Vegetas outside right now?" Bulma rushed out as she held the container and controller tightly in her hands. Mrs. Briefs, hearing that there were two Vegetas had caused her to gasp to herself all while Whis had smiled plainly at Bulmas question.
"Why yes Bulma, there are indeed. And I believe you know why, correct?" Whis said as he held his gaze at the scientist, vaguely hinting at Bulmas suspicion.
"I have my theories, and my answers are right outside my house! I just need to be sure that they don't cause any damage outside! Come Trunks!" Bulma quickly said as she turned to the balcony doors and rushed outside with her son. Whis then turned back to his cake, before addressing the blonde mother of Bulma.
"If you would be so kind as to wrap up a little something for me to take to Lord Beerus? I would greatly appreciate it!" Whis said politely to Mrs. Briefs, who nodded at the Angel. Then she abruptly stopped in her tracks before turning around to face the Angel in surprise.
"Oh my! If there really are two Vegetas, then that means more food needs to be made!" Mrs. Briefs said out loud, making Whis chuckle at that particular issue.
Meanwhile, slightly above the balcony of the yellow dome of Capsule Corporation, both Vegeta's, as Super Saiyans, had hovered in the air as they confronted each other. Vegeta had smirked at his older Counterpart, knowing that he could get a good feel on how strong he would be in his future. Speaking of future, Vegeta had figured out what Whis was alluding to when he mentions the Time Machine that Lord Beerus had damaged. The only question is, has his older Counterpart come to the same conclusion that he did as well?
"Shall we begin?" Vegeta said, smirking as he flared his Super Saiyan ki, prompting Gt Vegeta to do the same with a snarl. As they powered up, Bulma and Trunks had rushed out the door onto the large balcony space before they stopped by the railing looking up at the two familiar figures in the air. Bulma then quickly gave her son the container and held out the controller and made some adjustments. She then pushed down on the button making the towers on Capsule Corp. light up. This had caught both Vegeta's attention. Vegeta had chuckled knowing what will happen, but Gt Vegeta had looked down sensing Bulma and Trunks outside. Then Gt Vegeta shouted down.
"What the hell are you doing!" Gt Vegeta had yelled at Bulma, as he turned his attention back at his smirking Counterpart.
"Trunks, you have to go down there quickly and find a dead bird there and put it in this box, ok?" Bulma said while gesturing to the yard floor, making Trunks look at her and with a determined nod, flew down to the ground with the container and had begun to search for the aforementioned bird. Bulma then looked up at both Vegetas and shouted at them.
"There is no way I'm allowing either of you to try and mess up my house any more than it is!" Bulma angrily shouted as she held out the controller and pushed another button that then activate the protective field coming from the lit Capsule Corp. towers.
The towers then sent a beam above both Vegeta's positions. This made Gt Vegeta look in shock as it allowed a light barrier to encompass the two fighters in one area and protect the outside from stray attacks. As Gt Vegeta looked around the barrier in curiosity, Vegeta chuckled out loud as he folded his arms, prompting Gt Vegeta look back.
"Hehehehe, now we don't have to worry about any collateral damage. Although I have a feeling it wouldn't matter anyway." Vegeta stated to his Older Self while remembering what Kakarot and his Future Son had done when they had occupied the same dome with their power.
"Just try and keep up." Vegeta said, making Gt Vegeta snarl at him. With his tail tightening around his waist as he charged his ki higher, Gt Vegeta had sped forward and threw a right haymaker at the younger Counterpart but was swiftly dodged before he was kicked to the side. Both Vegetas had locked eyes once more before they charged towards each other before they collided with their right forearms, making a small shockwave around them. Then they started to flurry their strikes, equally blocking, parrying and dodging each other before they both at the same time threw a punch at each other's fists, making another shockwave and pushing them back a good distance.
Trunks, who was still looking for the bird that his mother wanted, had been distracted as he looked above at the battle between his father and his Counterpart.
"Whoa! This is awesome!" Trunks said out loud as he witnessed both Vegetas matching each other's hits blow for blow once again. Trunks then saw, in the corner of his eye, the bird that his mother was talking about and quickly placed it into the container, before flying back to the scientist. "Here mom! I got it! What do you need this for anyway?" Trunks said as he handed the container over to Bulma. Bulma grabbed the container and would have answered her son, but the ground shook a bit from battle going above.
Gt Vegeta gritted his teeth as he collided his forearm with his Counterpart before disengaging from the standstill. He then tensed as he powered up more, making his hair spike up more pronounced than before letting out a shout, releasing his power outward. Vegeta, seeing this had smirked at what his older Counterpart had done.
He had Ascended.
~Same time~
(Location: Dende's Lookout)
After Piccolo had made sure that the teenage Gohan had been stable enough to be left alone, with Mr. Popo near incase he woke up, Piccolo had decided to meditate near Dende as the young Guardian took his place at the edge of the Lookout. The Namek had thought about what he could say or should say to the young Gohan but was at a loss on what to do.
He would have thought more on it but was interrupted by a growing power level far into the horizon. Piccolo had quickly opened his eyes as Dende, a split second later, felt the power too and audibly gasped in surprise.
"Piccolo! Are you feeling that!? There's two of them!" Dende hurriedly said in shock.
"Vegeta!" Piccolo had said to himself out loud as he felt the two power levels clashing before one of them started to get higher and higher. All it did was make Piccolo look back towards the Lookout where the teenage Gohan was recovering before looking and sensing back down again. Piccolo then responded to Dende this time.
"I'm going to go down there! Let me know when Gohan wakes up!" Piccolo said with urgency as he powered up full blast and quickly billows down towards West City in a hurry.
Back inside one of the guest rooms in the Lookout, the unconscious Teen Gohan was laying on a bed with his left arm over his stomach with a fixed Gi and had been cured of his wounds from his battle with Cell.
"Mm..." Teen Gohan had grunted in his sleep. The power levels that were rising were going haywire on his senses, making him slowly clench his purple Gi top with his left hand.
(Location: Satan City ~ Gohan's House)
With baby Pan healthy from the wish of the Eternal Dragon, Gohan had time to finally rest and not worry about any other problems for today. He and his wife Videl were sitting on the couch together, watching TV while baby Pan was sleeping in her crib. But then, Gohan had flinched in suprise as he looked to a direction where he felt two massive power levels that were too similar with each other, battling in West City. Videl, noticing the flinch, immediately looked at her husband with concern on her face.
"Honey? Is something wrong?" Videl cautiously asked as they both got up from where they were sitting.
"...I don't know. Vegeta is fighting but-" (Gohan! Can you hear me?) Piccolo's voice rang in his head interrupting his sentence.
(Piccolo!? Is something going on?) Gohan had asked urgently to his mentor and best friend.
(Listen, I'm making my way to Bulma's. I need you to come to West City right now! Something's going on and Vegeta's right in the middle of it!) Piccolo hurriedly responded back. With a determined nod that was mentally sent to Piccolo, Gohan turned to speak with his wife.
"Videl, I'll go check this out. If you have to just in case, go to your Dad's with Pan. Buu would be able to protect you if things go south ok?" Gohan said as he took off his glasses and lime green sweater. Videl nods as she went to the phone to call her Father and let him know of the situation, while Gohan rushes outside and with a burst of energy surrounding his frame in white aura, blasts off towards West City.
(Location: West City)
~With Gt Goku and Goten~
As both Gt Goku and Goten soared in the air towards West City, Goten had looked over his tiny father and got a real good look at him aside from him being small. His dad has a torn blue Gi and yellow pants while taped up with hospital bandages on his abdomen and arms. Not only that but he had a long furry tail. He would have spoken about it from seeing it the first time but seeing his dad small and bandaged up took up his focus.
"Dad? If we have to fight, are you going to be ok? You're hurt." Goten said in worry as he flew a little closer to his father, riding the Nimbus Cloud. Gt Goku only wore a determined look in his face as he steadied himself on Nimbus.
"It doesn't matter, Vegeta might be in trouble! Besides, he might not admit it, but Vegeta would like the extra help!" Gt Goku started off serious but then lightheartedly said his last statement, knowing Vegeta would rather fight certain battles by himself. Then he looked down at Nimbus.
"Think we can go a little faster Nimbus?" Gt Goku pleaded with the cloud. He then felt the speed picking up as both the Saiyans flew into West City past the Warehousing district, with Capsule Corp. in their sights.
Down below in the one of the abandoned Warehouses, a small hole was opened on its roof, leading to the ground floor where debris and other various materials that were falling apart in a large pile.
But, towards the bottom edge of the large pile was a slow-moving figure. Clad in dark clothing along with his black hair, this figure, who grunted in pain with a male voice, was slowly crawling into a sitting position at a nearby wall while cradling his right hand at his chest. His hand wasn't damaged, but the object currently on his finger definitely was.
A Time Ring.
It was cracked in some places and was giving off a small noticeable spark of electricity.
"Ngh! D-damn those Mortals! They'll-GUH! NGH!" He said but grunted in pain as he felt the Ring on his finger shock him. The pain made the figure hunch forward before he landed on his left side, avoiding landing on his face. The pain was too much for the figure, making him pass out near the exit of the damaged abandoned warehouse.
Some light was seeping through from cracked windows and even the hole on the roof. When he passed out, he landed right where light was illuminating. The light had shown the familiar face of the loveable Saiyan of Earth, but this was anything but. This was once a Divine being, who fell from grace and had taken the body of Goku for himself. A once noble Kai by the name of Zamasu. Now taking and owning the moniker of a different name.
Goku Black.
(Location: Capsule Corporation)
"Taking off the kid's gloves, are you?" Vegeta said as he relaxed his arms slightly on his side, seeing Gt Vegeta reach Super Saiyan 2. Then, with a quick shout, he then powered up as he too Ascended to Super Saiyan 2 as well. Seeing this, Gt Vegeta gritted his teeth as he charges forward with a flurry, as Vegeta matches him again like before blow for blow. This would go for a another few seconds before Gt Vegeta quickly swiped with his right leg, which was quickly evaded before he had to block a diving dropkick from his younger Counterpart, pushing him down towards the edge of the protective dome.
"I have no time for your games!" Gt Vegeta angrily stated as he flared his power even more now as gathered a sickly green energy in his right hand, with a frightening sound accompanying it.
"Ha! Games huh? Tell me you're not as dense as Kakarot? Use your brain!" Vegeta barked to his older counterpart before continuing. "Think really hard about your predicament. Take a look at your surroundings. You can't tell me things are very obviously different for you." Vegeta pushed on to get his Counterpart to think rationally.
It had momentarily, as GT Vegeta had eased up on his tension to really look around while keeping his senses open. He did notice that the younger Counterpart had the same energy as himself, while this Bulma and Trunks had the same similar energy as his own wife and son. He then looked at his younger Counterpart, who had crossed his arms waiting for his reaction.
As Vegeta watched his older Counterpart, he notices on the balcony that Whis had been watching quietly behind Bulma and Trunks. He drew his senses back to Gt Vegeta, but was then felt approaching power levels heading in this direction. One was coming from behind him at break neck speeds. While two more had almost arrived from out front of him towards the edge of the city. He could make out the power levels coming towards their vicinity, but to him something felt off about one of them.
(Well, Piccolo obviously has to stick his nose in other people's business. And Kakarot with his tag along wouldn't miss this even if they tried. So then why do I sense something is different with you?) Vegeta thought to himself, wondering why he had a different feel for his long time rivals energy. This unfortunately served as a momentary distraction that Gt Vegeta capitalized.
Gt Vegeta also felt the same energy signatures headed their way as well, but had kept it at the back burner to concentrate on his younger self who was distracted temporarily. He then scowled again as he tensed his body up to recharge the green attack in his right hand before setting his sights on his younger Counterpart.
"This wouldn't be the first time someone tried head games with me!" Gt Vegeta exclaimed as he finished charging his attack. This had drew Vegetas attention back to him, making him uncross his arms as he prepared to either deflect or dodge the attack that would fly up to space if he did either. Then Gt Vegeta fired!
"FINAL SHINE ATTACK!"
BOOM!
The blast had made the area glow in a sickly green hue, which made Bulma and Trunks squint from the brightness alone and Whis unaffected. Vegeta, set to defend against the oncoming beam attack, powered up as high as he can, past an ordinary Super Saiyan. His entire Body was engulfed in a Blue and White aura, the beam clashed with his right hand, causing the protective dome to literally pop outward as the energy attack split in two before it exploded in a flash of Green light!
(Location: West City)
The blast was seen illuminating the sky in a flash green light, shocking Goten and Gt Goku as they tried to get to Capsule Corporation faster. The Young Goku, seeing this decided that he could try Instant Transmission one more time and hopefully get it right this time. He felt one of the Energy signatures vanish making him think he was late but he was able to lock on Bulma and Trunks energy, not the other Vegeta incase he was wrong and that wasn't Vegeta.
"Sorry Nimbus, Goten! Give me your hand!" Gt Goku apologized to the cloud before getting his son's attention. Goten seeing his small dad's outstretched hand, quickly grabbed on before they both vanished.
(Location: Capsule Corporation)
"What a marvelous display of power from this Vegeta!" Whis said as he saw the light disperse and all that was left was a cloud of ozone and dust in the air. Bulma and Trunks were finally able to see now that their eyes are no longer hurting only view the short haired Vegeta in the air still, with his right hand slowly lowering to his side. Bulma was shocked at the display before turning to Whis who was smiling up at the battle.
"Whis? Is Vegeta OK?" Bulma asked the Caretaker of the God of Destruction. But all she got was a chuckle and a smile from the Angel.
Back up in the air, Gt Vegeta had stretched his senses to see if the supposed Fake was still up there and felt absolutely nothing. Smirking, he slowly decends, but stops after feeling an enormous amount of pressure from above. Looking back up, the pressure grew as his face grew more shocked.
The cloud of dust was slowly dissipating revealing an aura of white and blue with the silhouette of a bright figure in the center. This figure had their right arm out before they held their fist up near their face. Then the shell of light that incased the figure peeled away from the bottom of their feet up to the top of their hair, revealing the the Saiyan Prince Vegeta. His Aura was shocking blue with matching Hair and eyes. Eyes that stared down to his shocked older counterpart, with a power greater than a Super Saiyan and its Ascended states.
A Super Saiyan with a power of a Super Saiyan God!
Super Saiyan Blue.
"W-what the Hell!?" Gt Vegeta had muttered to himself as he slightly backed up in the air. He has never seen such an ability like this. To completely mask their presence, unable to be sensed, but to also exude an enormous pressure. This wasn't just any transformation. His tail had unconsciously tightened around his waist.
Vegeta continued to stare down at his older Counterpart, his blue aura flaring out, before he stopped the flow of his power and reverted back to his base form, surprising Gt Vegeta.
"We're done here. I've gotten all that I needed." Vegeta stated with certainty as he floated down towards Gt Vegeta.
"What!?" Gt Vegeta exclaimed as he saw his young Counterpart float at his level. Many thoughts were going through his head and he would have demanded an explanation on what he had seen but he and Vegeta had felt a familiar power level appear down where Bulma and the others were.
Back with Bulma, Trunks and Whis, the mother and son were surprised that Vegeta had powered down. Whis had chuckled at both Vegetas little sparring session and was about to go up to them but was interrupted by the familiar sound of a high speed teleport and two small bodies hitting the floor of their balcony behind them.
"Ooh! Perfect landing! Ow! Hehehe..."
"Huh? Well would you look at that! More company!" Whis said to himself, as Bulma, Trunks and Whis looked behind, expecting Goku but instead they wound up getting two identical looking children, one bandaged up more than the other. One they knew was Goten, but the other, had a torn blue gi with yellow pants and a furry brown tail.
It was when Bulma clearly saw the tail the other child had that she drew the dots together.
"Wait! Goten? Is that...? G-Goku?" Bulma stuttered out as she and Trunks looked at Gt Goku being held up by Goten.
"Wait what!? But Gotens dad..?" Trunks had shouted as he looked at Gt Goku, not understanding how he got small to begin with. The only thought going through young Trunks mind was how did Goku get smaller than him when he was as tall, maybe taller than his mom.
Up above in the sky, Gt Vegeta also had a shocked look on his face as he saw his Rival and Friend. For the past year that he had been gone, Gt Vegeta had diligently trained incase of any attacks of the planet Earth, only for him to now pop up here! Now of all times? He also felt his Energy and knew without a shadow of doubt that this was him.
"K-Kakarot!?" Gt Vegeta muttered as he decended down towards the group.
Vegeta on the other hand looked down to where Gt Goku was and only had one thought running in his head.
(Oh Great, what did that Clown do to himself this time?) Vegeta's thought, but before he could fly down, he felt the approaching power level of the Namekien Piccolo as he stopped behind him before he floated over on to Vegeta's side.
"You're late." Vegeta stated to Piccolo as he crossed his arms together. Piccolo grunted as he looked down and saw the older Vegeta descending towards the smaller Goku.
"I figured you could handle it. Besides, you'll never guess what I found earlier." Piccolo said to Vegeta, who smirked a bit before responding back.
"That can wait until later. We have more company." Vegeta said as another power raced in their direction before coming to a full stop.
"Gohan..." Piccolo acknowledged his pupil and friend.
"Piccolo, Vegeta, mind telling what's going on and why there are two Vegetas?" Gohan asked, weirded out at what he was sensing as he looked towards the balcony where everyone was.
"All will be explained, but for now let's see what's going on with these two." Vegeta said as he floated down, Piccolo and Gohan following.
Back down to the balcony, Bulma and Trunks had crowded Gt Goku as Goten and Whis looked on at the spectacle.
"Holy crap Goku! You were just gone for a little while and you go and get yourself hurt and get shrunk? What the hell!?" Bulma had nearly shouted at her best friend, who looked confused as he looked between her and Trunks.
"Me? What about you guys? Did you use the Dragon balls to make yourselves younger too of something?" Gt Goku asked confusing everyone who had heard. Bulma would have retorted but but was interrupted by a shout up above.
"Kakarot!" Gt Vegeta yelled out as descended from the sky and stood in shock at seeing the diminutive Fighter that had disappeared with the Eternal Dragon.
Trunks whispered "This is getting weird." to Goten who nodded back wholeheartedly in agreement.
"Vegeta! Boy am I glad to see you! At least you didn't change. Everyone I've seen so far are younger and-" "How are you even here Kakarot?" Gt Vegeta interrupted Gt Goku, making him blink in surprise at what he asked. But Gt Vegeta continued. "You disappeared after our battle against Omega! How are you suddenly here now? Here of all places!?" Gt Vegeta had demanded, now that everything going on is now catching up to him. But then, an all to familiar voice spoke up.
"Perhaps an explanation is in order." Vegeta said as he, Piccolo and Gohan had dropped down from above, making everyone turn to them.
"Big Brother!" "Dad!" Goten and Trunks yelled out as they rushed to their respective family.
Gt Goku on the other hand had looked at Piccolo and had a look of shock on his face before he smiled and shouted.
"Piccolo! You're alive!" Gt Goku said happily, prompting the Namek to raise a brow at that statement. But then Gt Goku had set his site on the other Vegeta, looking intensely at first before looking back towards Gt Vegeta and back again. Then he turned his attention back to Gt Vegeta.
"I didn't know you had a twin Vegeta." Gt Goku confidently stated to his friend and rival. Which pissed Gt Vegeta off.
"I DON'T HAVE A TWIN YOU IDIOT!" Gt Vegeta shouted all while comically enlarging his head twice his size to yell at Goku's stupidity.
This caused Gt Goku to chuckle a bit before wincing in pain and holding his ribs. That made Bulma go to him quick before she turned to the Angel for assistance.
"Whis! Do you think you can help Goku?" Bulma pleaded to the Caretaker.
"Well normally I wouldn't be allowed to do that..." Whis stated as he tapped his chin with finger, leaving Bulma and the others in suspense until he finished with a smile.
"...but seeing as Lord Beerus is always telling me to heal Goku and Vegeta after they battle..." Whis left that statement hang, making everyone look to him as he stepped up to Gt Goku, twirled the staff in his hands and pointed at the young hero. A soft green glow had quickly engulfed Gt Goku before it popped leaving a very healthy and clean Goku, with his Gi repaired and energy restored. Both Gt Vegeta and Gt Goku were amazed by how quick the process was.
"Wow thanks!" Gt Goku said expressing his gratitude by jumping up to his feet and stretching his legs before he let out a few punches and kicks. Then he stopped to bow before looking at the smiling Angel.
"Oh! Uh, by the way, what's going on cause I'm confused." Gt Goku asked as he folded his arms behind his head as he looked at the smiling Whis.
"I'd like an answer to that as well." Gt Vegeta demanded as he looked between the Tall blue man and the younger versions of his wife, son and himself.
"Yeah, for some of us that's not in the loop, I would really appreciate it." Gohan said. That's when Bulma had hefted up the container she had before grinning at them.
"Well, follow me and I'll tell you guys!"
~Several minutes Later~
"Wait, so you're saying the Time Machine malfunctioning did all this? This is ridiculous!" Gt Vegeta said as he and everyone else had walked into Bulma's lab. Bulma had explained to Gt Vegeta and Gt Goku, alongside clearing up things to Gohan and Piccolo, while she herself went to her work station as she started to fiddle with the container she came in with. She had Trunks go search for Mai and her friends, with Goten following as well.
"It does make sense when you think about though..." Gohan had pondered about the implications on what else could have happened if the Time Machine continued to malfunction.
"Yeah, I mean Bulma never really steered us wrong before." Gt Goku said, relaxing his posture around his friends.
"Well I think it fits the theory with what's been going on don't you think? I mean how else would I have a second older husband in the same time period huh?" Bulma retorted as she had set up a machine with a box on one end that connected to the computer that she was currently typing in blazing speeds. In the Box was the bird specimen that she had Trunks pick up. Next to her was a blue element crystal that she was able to take from the Time Machine before it was destroyed, and was placed inside a compartment in the machine. Punching in some keys she scanned the bird before looking at her husband and best friend and continuing.
"Besides, we can explain all this right now with one simple question for the two of you." Bulma said in suspense before laying it on them both.
"What year you think this is?" Bulma asked, making Gt Goku look more serious and Gt Vegeta stiffen as he looked away and towards the ruined Time Machine in the corner. This made Gt Vegeta look toward his younger Counterpart who smirked, making him exhale through his nose before turning asking him.
"You knew?" Gt Vegeta questioned him.
"I put two and two together after Whis told me what had happened..." Vegeta explained. "Besides, I wasn't going to miss an opportunity on fighting my Future self in combat" he finished, making Gt Vegeta mutter 'future' under his breath. Then Gt Vegeta looked back at the past version of his wife.
"Fine what year is it then?" Gt Vegeta asked.
"In Earth Cycles, it is the age of 779." Whis said, shocking both the wayward Time travelers. Bulma then swiveled the computer in front of her to show the results to further prove her theory to Gt Goku and Gt Vegeta.
"Take a look at this. After scanning this bird of any residual time displacement, I was able to narrow down what time frame it was able to come from. At least a year off from now in the future of 780, give or take a few months." Bulma said while also showing a slowed down video surveillance of the incident in question, showing the Lightning that shot past Whis and the bird appearing.
"Wow Bulma! I didn't know you were able to do all that!" Gt Goku said, even more impressed at his friends intelligence.
"Well not to toot my own horn or anything, but with the notes that my future Son was able to get me more than helped. My future self was able to make a Time Machine off of blind hope, I figure I would be able to continue as well." Bulma said while she had a somber look on her face, remembering what her Future Son had gone through.
"Too bad I won't be able to time travel any time soon, or at all for that matter." Bulma finished while looking at Whis, who had a stern look on his face. Gt Vegeta noticed and was annoyed at this man's presence.
"How come Bulma?" Gt Goku asked.
"It's Forbidden for mortals to meddle with Time. Fortunately for Bulma, this wasn't intended on her part when the Time Machine malfunctioned." Whis stated making Gt Vegeta scowl at his him.
"OK I'm getting sick of this! Who the hell are you anyway?" Gt Vegeta angrily questioned Whis, making Bulma gasp in shock, with Piccolo and Gohan stiffen at his reaction and questioning. Vegeta, slowly inched his way towards his Counterpart as Whis cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Whis, caretaker to the God of Destruction Lord Beerus. Surprising that you don't know considering..." Whis said, leaving his statement open ended.
"Considering what!? What does all that even mean?" Gt Vegeta still demanded. Gt Goku looked between the two wondering about what was said also.
"Yeah I don't know that either..." Gt Goku muttered loud enough for Piccolo, Vegeta and Gohan to hear.
"Vegeta! You can't speak to Whis like-" "Its ok Bulma, I do not fault him for his frustration. Although, you never told us what year it was that the both of you came from?" Whis interrupted Bulma, making Gt Vegeta confused at Bulma on why she reacted like that before looking at Whis.
"Why does it matter?" Gt Vegeta stubbornly asked.
"Vegeta, just tell him. It would make things easier. You too Goku." Bulma pleaded with Gt Vegeta, who let out a frustrated breath. Gt Goku looked over at Gt Vegeta, before answering first.
"Well, if I remember correctly, the 31st Martial Arts Tournament happened, and because I got wished to be a kid a year before that I had to go in the Junior Tournament. And with everything happening after that..." Gt Goku scratched his head trying to remember the year. This caused Gt Vegeta to look over in shock as he blurted out what he was able to put together.
"Kakarot! That was in 790!" Gt Vegeta yelled out.
"Oh Cool! Thanks Vegeta!" Gt Goku happily thanked his friend, unintentionally making Gt Vegeta's ire to grow at his attitude.
"No! Not 'Cool' you imbecile! You disappeared on 790 after leaving with the Eternal Dragon! That was a year ago for me!" Gt Vegeta explained making Gt Goku, and everyone else look at him in shock, bar Bulma and Whis who had contemplating looks on their faces.
"B-but Vegeta! I never left with Shenron! I blacked out after using the Spirit Bomb on Omega!" Gt Goku explained, putting a hole on Vegetas argument, making everyone double take at Goku.
"Wait what!"
"So that means you both probably came from two similar but completely separate alternate Timelines." Whis said making Gt Goku and Gt Vegeta look over at Whis, before he looked over at Vegeta, a silent conversation between them. Gt Vegeta noticed before he looked at his younger Counterpart.
"That would explain why they ask who Whis is. Maybe they never met Lord Beerus in their own time like Trunks did in his." Gohan said, adding his input.
"How'd you figure that?" Gt Goku asked. Bulma then quickly responded.
"Do either of you remember anything significant happening on my birthday on Year 778?" She asked, with Vegeta, Piccolo and and Gohan looking at Whis, making them remember vividly what had happened. Gt Goku had shook his head while Gt Vegeta had scowled once more between Whis and Bulma.
"No, nothing happened. Except Kakarot being late as usual." Gt Vegeta said. Then Piccolo spoke, putting the evidence in place.
"That right there might be the divergence. Whis more than likely never showed up in your Timeline. No Whis means no Lord Beerus." Piccolo said to the time torn Prince. Bulma picked up right where he left off.
"No Lord Beerus means no knowledge about a Super Saiyan God!" Bulma said as she pounded her fist in her hand.
"Super Saiyan God?" Gt Goku asked, all while Gt Vegeta widened his eyes as he stared at his younger Counterpart.
"Is that what that was? What you transformed into?" Gt Vegeta asked, making Vegeta smirk. Gt Goku also looked between the two.
"Kakarot and I have achieved a form even higher than that of a Super Saiyan God. What you saw when i nullified your blast was the result. That was Super Saiyan Blue." Vegeta explained, while Gt Goku and Vegeta looked confused at the name. Then Whis chipping in.
"A Super Saiyan with the power of a Super Saiyan God! Calling it Blue is so much easier to say and isn't a mouthful." Whis explained at the choice of names.
"But aside from that it's really remarkable that we are able to see such differences between the two of you! And the obvious difference between this Goku and ours!" Whis said, excited at the distinct differences that he was able to see between the Vegetas and Gokus.
"Man this is insane!" Bulma said to herself but was loud enough for everyone to hear her. "To think that a Goku and Vegeta appeared because of the Time Machine! It's a good thing that it was just you two that showed up!" Bulma said.
"Not exactly..." Piccolo said, making everyone look at him as he stared at Gohan.
"What do you mean Piccolo?" Gt Goku asked the Namekien, making him slowly look over at the tiny Saiyan Warrior.
"What I'm saying is, you and Vegeta weren't the only ones that popped up..." Piccolo said as he looked back at Gohan, who found out exactly what he meant.
"W-wait a sec! You mean me?" Gohan pointed at himself, shocked that another 'him' came to this timeline as well. His words also shocked everyone else, aside from Whis who had a small smile.
"I have him in the lookout recuperating right now. I was able to read his mind, and I found out that he came directly after the Cell Games." Piccolo said dropping the bombshell on his student. He continued. "And with Goku going to the Supreme Kai's planet to check on a disturbance after the Time Machine malfunctioned, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that another time anomaly happened up there as well." He finished, making the others shocked at the implications. Whis on the other hand smiled at Piccolo's deduction
"Which means that there might be more people that came to our time due to the malfunction!" Bulma said out loud.
"Oh, there is definitely more. Many of them unfortunately was spread out too much and low on power that I was only lucky enough to get to Gohan in the time that I did." Piccolo said to to the scientist.
"So now, the only question left to ask is, how many are out there?" Whis said ominously to the group.
(Location: Space ~ Earth's Atmosphere)
Up in to the cold Atmosphere, aimlessly floating above, a microscopic blood cell was laid still in dormancy when it had appeared. As the minutes ticked by nothing significant had happened. It just slowly drifted along.
Drifting and drifting...
But then, the cell slowly divided...
(Location: Natade Village outskirts)
"Man this guy is heavy!"
"How is he still alive!"
"Put your back into it! C'mon!"
These were some of the comments made by some villagers who were trying to lug the massive frame of a spikey black haired individual that had their torso covered in makeshift bandages to stop the excessive bleeding on his open wound. The few that did move him were being overseen by the a teenage blonde girl with long pigtails, and the Village Priest with a long mustache and purple headband.
"Did you see the side of the mountain?!"
"He probably got caught in the debris."
"What's a guy like him doing way out here anyway?"
Some of these comments were speculated amongst themselves as they carefully moved the injured man into the village. But one person took offense of the man's presence and made it known to the others around him.
"He is a bad omen! A soon to be plague that will be ruin to our peaceful lives!" The Priest said aloud before turning to the teenager. "Surely you understand that this is a little suspicious?" He claimed, making the teen turn to him
"Your unfounded paranoia will not sway us on caring for the wounded Maloja. Once we get him to a healer and he is in perfect health we will send him on his way." The teen said before looking back at the villagers carrying the injured man.
"With all due respect! You may be the Villiage Chief's granddaughter Coco, but this is something that will backfire on us drastically! His very presence is a curse on our lands!" Maloja yelled out, making Coco sigh in irritation before following the group that held injured man, leaving that shouting Priest behind.
That man in question was the Legendary Super Saiyan.
"He is a curse I tell you! A Curse!"
(Location: Space ~ Near the Sun)
Out in the deep reaches of space, a burnt gold space shuttle had been floating aimlessly, as part of its engines had been rattled by a blast that nearly ended the occupants life. Inside, the nearly unconscious pilot had grunted in pain as they had finally came too, revealing their glass like eyes and teal skin.
Baby, the machine Mutant Tuffle had their body hunched over the steering wheel, their gold vest scuffed from the rattling after almost dying via entry to the Sun's surface. He were able to sit back up, painfully so, as he tried to start back the engines by flicking the switches on the dashboard.
"Ngh...Damnit!" He said, before hitting the the side panel with his right hand. He then did a diagnostic scan of his ship, revealing that one of the thrusters had been damaged. He would have to fix that, but there was one problem.
"I can't go back to the Tuffle planet, not while that knuckle dragging Saiyan is still there! I need a body! A strong body, and when I do, I will have my revenge!" Baby said as he breathed deep in frustration, before he gritted his teeth at the predicament he was in. His ship was damaged, and his thrusters would give out unless he got them repaired.
"I could reroute the engines power, and try to take it to a planet out the way from this Solar System for repairs. But where could I...take it...?" Baby trailed off as he felt a dwindling power level not far from his position. It was weak, lower than his own when he first came to Earth, and nothing he ever felt. The ship was fortunately facing sideways from the Sun at his left, so he was able to see only a small outline that was illuminated on something far away.
That something was a body. From his positioning, the body unmoving, but was very much alive. Alive and unconscious.
Narrowing his eyes, the Sun had illuminated his face, a sinister smirk was being held for any to see.
(Location: Capsule Corporation)
As the group pondered what Whis had said inside Bulmas lab, outside on the balcony entrance a small teleporting sound was heard and a familiar power level was felt throughout the building, alongside an unfamiliar but powerful energy source. That made Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan and Whis look at each other before Piccolo spoke and confirmed what they all thought.
"Looks like our Goku is back." He said to the group.
"I don't recognize the power that I'm sensing with him." Gohan said making Vegeta and Whis look at the Time torn warriors.
"Another Time anomaly perhaps, hm?" Whis said, making Gt Goku chuckle as headed his way towards the door.
"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's finds find out!" Gt Goku said as he sprinted out with the rest following, a mumbled 'Idiot' was heard as they left from Vegeta. Which one would be anyone's guess.
Down the hall, in one of the guest room, Pilaf had opened the door slightly as he looked back and forth, hopefully to not run into the angry Vegeta. With no one in sight he opened it fully showing Mai and Shu before tip toeing out on to the hall.
"Coast is clear!" Pilaf said as he turned to his subordinates. "Now, with that out of the way, all we have to do-" but had cut himself off as he and his gang heard the door down the hall to the lab open, and was able to see the one person in the form that traumatized them the most.
Goku.
A child Goku.
A child Goku with a Tail!
Their faces turning pale, they retreated back into the room and slamming the door shut, just as Gt Goku and the rest passed the through the hallway towards the living room area.
In the Living room, Mrs. Briefs was hustling and bustling around the room cleaning up as she saw Goku and an attractive woman appeared on the balcony outside.
"Oh Goten! Your father came back!" She announced to the child.
"Hey! My Dad came back! Now I got two Dad's like you Trunks!" Goten said as he, and Trunks were eating some Ramen that Mrs. Briefs made for them. Trunks rolled his eyes as he continued eating as he kept any eye on the door, seeing Goku, not as a small child, but as a full grown adult, talking to woman with long curly Auburn hair with a lab coat and glasses as they made their way into the living room from the balcony. They came in with Goku finishing his talk with the woman.
"...trust me, Bulma will get everything figured out in no time!" Goku said letting in the woman in the room.
"I do hope so. I just don't want to burden her with this problem. So I'll see if I could help in anyway that I can." The mature voice of the woman said.
"Hey, don't worry about it ok? You'll be able to help anyway you can." Goku said as he reassured the woman had a small smile and nodded in a agreement. Goku then went in further and saw Goten and Trunks.
"Hey kids! Is everything okay over here?" Goku asked, prompting Goten to shout 'Dad!' at him as both his son and Trunks made there way to him and speaking really fast to him, talking over each other before Goku started to laugh at the pair.
"Hehehehe! You guys are gonna have to ease up a bit!" Goku asked of them, but as they quieted down, a group of his friends and family came from the hall from Bulmas lab.
"Hey guys! You'll never believe who I bought with me from the Supreme Kai's world!" Goku said, but then he got a good look on who was in the group.
His oldest son Gohan. His sons best friend and mentor Piccolo. One of his best friends Bulma alongside Whis who went to the side. But then his eyes landed on Vegeta.
Well more specifically, the two Vegetas who were on opposite ends in the group. With a quick scan, they both had similar power levels but to his innocent mind...
"I didn't know Vegeta had a twin?" Goku said innocently, making Whis, Gohan and Bulma chuckle at Goku saying the exact same thing that the kid Goku said. Gt Vegeta on the other hand scowled as Gt Goku laughed out loud. Vegeta snorted at Goku's naivete before responding.
"Well at least I don't have a mini-me Kakarot." Vegeta said as he looked at Gt Goku, who looked over at his other self.
"Wow, I had forgotten how tall I usually am." Gt Goku said making Goku looked confused at him, and then at Bulma for an explanation.
"OK, I'm really lost right now." Goku stated.
"Goku, this is you from the Future, eleven years from now. And that Vegeta over there-" She pointed at the Short haired on "-is from a similar time as well. Think of my son Trunks from his future." Bulma said, dumbing it down for Goku to understand who had a look of realization.
"Ooohhh wow! That's incredible!" He then turned to the woman, who now had everyone else look at her. "That's more or less what the Supreme Kai was telling me huh?" Goku said to her, making her steel blue eyes roam over at the group before looking at Goku.
"That is correct Son Goku." She said, making Goku have a face as he replied.
"C'mon, you don't have to be so formal with me, we're friends!" Goku said making her shake her head as she chuckled at his innocence.
"So Goku? Who is this anyway? Judging by the coat, a fellow scientist maybe?" Bulma asked the question that was on everyone else's mind.
"Go on. Introduce yourself." Goku prompted the mystery woman. She turned, showing her red and blue dress as she fixed her hair, her piercing blue eyes had stared at them as she adjusted her glasses, which shined slightly from the reflection from the Sun.
"You may not know me. But I do know all of you. I was given the designation of Android 21 by Dr. Gero." She said, shocking Gohan, Piccolo and Bulma, while both Vegeta's and tensing as they saw the familiar insignia on the left sleeve of her lab coat.
The Red Ribbon Army.
