I remind you that the waiting time, before the start of the tournament, is ten days. As for my first story, this will allow the universes participating in the tournament (except U6, U7 and U11) to bring together their teams and lead them into the world of the gods. Therefore, I will not write again the chapters where these universes gather their warriors. I'm just having a few chapters written on Universe 7, before the tournament starts.

I'll just make the list of participants from other universes before the tournament starts.

However, regarding universe 6 and 12, I also had to double their numbers. As a result, I had an idea (which may well displease you).

For universe 6, I decided to add 10 DBS fighters who participated in the tournament, in the other teams (like Bergamo and Obuni).

And for Universe 11, since it's a universe of superheroes, I decided to incorporate characters from the world of Marvel.

Punching punches against an invisible opponent, a warrior had been training like this since the start of the day. Chaining the attacks, the man eventually stopped and took a deep breath. Then he began to get into a tailor-made position to start a meditation session.

However, almost immediately a voice cried out.

"Paikuhan! Paikuhan!"

"Hmm?" The warrior wondered, opening one eye.

In front of him, he saw the West Kai running towards him.

"Kai-sama? What happened to you?"

"It's horrible! Awful! Awful! We are going to die."

"Uh ... I'm already dead." Paikuhan asserted.

"Idiot! Do you really think it's time for some humor?" Asked the West Kai, starting to run all around him. " We are going to die! Die! Die! Die!"

Sighing, Paikuhan finally got up. Then, reaching out a hand, he managed to grab his master by the top of his head in order to immobilize him.

"May I know what's going on?"

"All this is East Kai's fault." Roared the little Kai. " If he had shown respect to his disciple, Goku, we won't be there."

"Goku? Son Goku? What happened?"

"Paikuhan, I need you to help me! The whole universe needs you."

"My help?"

Teleporting to Yenma's office, the green alien noticed that the giant was quite stressed. Another interesting fact, he saw no visible soul in his office.

"Unbelievable! The few times I have been here, your office was filled with souls! Have living things stopped dying?"

"Stop the jokes." Cried the giant. " For exceptional reason, I took a day off! To tell the truth, I also intend to see the fight which will determine the winner of the tournament."

"You are aware?"

"Of course! Yenma exclaimed! After all, Goku had to come to me to allow you to leave Heaven! However, you don't pose any problems compared to other people!

" Other people ? "

" It looks like we're not the only fighters from the other world to have been invited to join the team. "A voice remarked.

Hidden in a dark corner, Dabra's figure appeared. Having also left paradise, the man had regained the use of his legs, while he crossed his arms while displaying a serene face.

" Good to see you again, Paikuhan. "

" Dabra ? " The green man wondered.

Showing a vein of rage in his forehead, the alien narrowly failed to attack the demon.

" How dare you present yourself in front of me? Have you forgotten that you are responsible for the death of almost the entire population of my planet? "

" Don't worry! I haven't forgotten that. " Dabra asserted. " I even have to admit that this war that I once ordered against your people was one of the few battles that I have remembered! It is true that this was caused by a whim on my part! Wanting to expand the territory of the Demon Realm, I attacked various planets, including yours! I only wanted to do this for fun! And that's when I met you. "

Staring at Paikuhan, he remembered.

" The warrior that you were challenged me as I was about to exterminate the few of the population that remained on your planet, and we fought! To tell the truth, the fight we fought had been so fun that, after killing you, I deemed it unnecessary to continue my conquest of your planet and returned to my kingdom! If this can reassure you, your planet has been spared thanks to you. "

" Grrrr! Do you think that does anything to me, motherfucker? I could never forgive you for what you have done to my people. "

" Paikuhan-san, could you calm down? " Yenma asked him. " Sorry to tell you, but during the tournament where you are going to fight, Dabra will be one of your teammates. "

" Sorry ? There was never any question of me teaming up with an asshole like him. "

" Paikuhan… " Cried Dabra. " I know that I have done a lot of horrible things in my past life and honestly, I know full well that nothing will be able to forgive my crimes! However, … "

Bowing down to Paikuhan, the demon cried out.

" I beg you, forgive me. "

" What ? " The green alien is surprised, not expecting this gesture.

" I am really sorry. " Apologized the demon. " I understand your anger and your rage! A lot of people like you want revenge on me and I know it's deserved! Nevertheless, I ask you to accept me by your side, during the tournament! Despite the fact that I know that the gods will reward us if we win, I am in no way looking to be congratulated! All I want is to be able to protect the universe! So please forgive me. "

Seeing him thus, Paikuhan remained silent. Still, he ended up clenching his fists, while groaning.

" How … ? How dare you ask me that now, after all the murders you've committed? "

Suddenly, a sound of teleportation was heard. Arriving, while being accompanied by Baba, Goku had just appeared in front of the two men.

" Yo, guys. " Cried the saiyan.

" Goku? "

Seeing then Dabra bowed down to Paikuhan, the man wanted to know.

" What's going on here ? "

" They remember the past. " Yenma told him, with a sigh.

Then seizing several leaves, the king of the otherworld cried out.

" Here are the forms attesting to the fact that I let these two, as well as the residents of hell, leave the otherworld for a period of twenty-four hours, in order to participate in the tournament of power! Honestly, I really hope I don't regret this gesture. "

'' What do you want them to do worse than destroy the entire universe ? " Goku questioned, with a smile. " At least, compared to Zeno, they won't be able to destroy the otherworld. "

" Do you find it funny? " Roared the giant, leaning over his desk. " I find you very confident knowing that you are responsible for the creation of this damn tournament. "

" So… Sorry! But in my defense, Zeno had already planned to destroy our universe! So that wasn't going to change anything, right? "

" Grrr! It's you who is saying it. "

Finally, stamping the forms, he cried out.

" Baba! I leave these guys to you. "

" Heard. "

" Perfect. " Cried Goku. " The tournament will start in a few hours! During the last few days, I have managed to convince a large part of our team members! It only remains to convince the guys who are in hell. "

" In hell ? " Said Paikuhan. " Hold on, Goku! Do you find that justifying calling on them? "

" Of course ! After all, not many people have managed to reach the level of Frieza and Cell! We need them. "

" And I hope I could see them in hell again within 24 hours. " Yenma asserted.

" Impossible ! I am perfect Cellllllllllll… "

Opening his eyes, Cell began to growl. Finding himself in a small cell, the walls of which appeared to be made from mirrors, Cell saw one of them broadcast his loss to Gohan. Ever since he was dead, Cell had been doomed to watch this fight again and again. He, the perfect hearth, had to visualize his defeat, in order to understand that he was in no way the supreme being.

Growling, he punched the mirror, which didn't damage him.

" Damn saiyans. " He roared. " How … ? How could I have lost ? "

Asking himself that question, for at least the thousandth time, Cell took a long breath, before standing perfectly straight and closing his eyes. Deciding to meditate, he cleared his mind. Staying like that for long minutes, he seemed to disconnect from the rest of the world. Still, he had no trouble feeling a strange sensation. Seeming to have teleported, he noticed that he had just left his cell and was now facing a person he had no trouble recognizing.

" Cell… " Cried Gohan.

At first surprised, Cell inspected the Saiyan boy. Yes, since the last time he had seen him, Gohan had grown into an adult. Yet, just fixing his eyes, Cell was sure to recognize his old opponent. The saiyan responsible for his presence here.

" Gohan-san… what a pleasure to see you again. "

" Unrequited pleasure. "

Just smiling, Cell pretended to be saddened.

" Gohan, what you say breaks my heart! You seem to me to have become very cold! But hey, joking aside. "

Stopping smiling, Cell glanced over Gohan's head, before asking.

'' You don't seem to be dead to me, so you can guess my question, right? What are you doing here ? "

" I reassure you, right away! If I could have done otherwise, you would never have had the chance to see me today! But, amazing as it sounds, we need your help. "

" My help ? " Cell wondered.

" In a few hours, an important tournament will take place! He will bring together the most powerful warriors from all universes. "

" The universes…? " Cell asked, crossing his arms. " Wait a moment, I admit you're going a little too fast for me! How do you need my help for this tournament? Don't you feel capable of winning it ? "

" Ten teams will participate in this tournament and each of these teams must be made up of twenty people. "

" Oh ? I see ! You are therefore short of staff! But, even if I understand this, I don't see why someone like you would like to hire me! Unless, of course, the stake in this tournament is much higher than I fear! Gohan, please, no secrecy between us! What are you risking if you lose ? "

" It's not just us. " Retorted Gohan. " The whole universe is in danger of being destroyed! Including the other world and yourself. "

" Sorry ? "

" Yo, Frieza. "

Opening his eyes, the white alien looked shocked to hear a voice calling him. This voice was the one that had haunted his nightmares for years, as he hung from a tree, and trapped in a cocoon, in the middle of his personal hell. At the bottom of the tree, Goku seemed amused to see his old rival like this, while two more cocoons hung from the branches of this tree.

Using all her willpower, Frieza looked down at Goku and cried out.

" Oh, Goku-san? What are you doing here ? "

" I could ask you the same question. " Goku asserted, looking at the beautiful peaceful landscape around them. " When I fell into hell a few years ago, I hadn't had the chance to see such a beautiful place! Are you a VIP member or what? "

" Very fun, Goku! For a pathetic Saiyan like you, this place may be right for you! Nevertheless, for me, it is the worst of hell. "

" I confirm. " Asserted a second voice.

Moving his cocoon, a second being, similar to Frieza showed his face to Goku.

" It's been a long time since we last met, Goku. "

" Cooler ! " Goku recognized him. " Glad to see you got the chance to join your brother in hell! The family spirit is always what is most sacred. "

" Don't mock me. " Roared the purple alien. " And rather say the reason for your coming here! Why is Frieza lucky to have an audience with you? Am I not then someone quite interesting to you ? "

" In fact, I came to talk to both of you. " Goku retorted.

" What ? "

Continuing to display a confident smile, Goku wanted to know.

" Would you like to leave this place for 24 hours ? "

Hearing this question, Frieza narrowed her eyes, before asking.

" What do you want from us, exactly? I know you well enough to know you're up to something. "

" You could say that. " Goku approved.

Taking a few minutes to explain the situation to the two brothers, Goku finally asks.

" So ? What's your response ? "

Just laughing, Cooler asserted.

'' It's quite ironic of you, Goku-san! You're preventing us from harming a few planets! But you, on your side, are responsible for the potential destruction of our universe! I don't think anyone has done worse than you. "

" Ohohoho! Goku-san has always found a way to defeat powerful enemies! But I wonder if he can really defeat the gods. "

" Your answer. " Goku insisted.

" If I refuse to help you, your world will be in great danger, won't it ? " Frieza asked.

" Indeed. " Goku approved.

" So, I refuse. "

" Very well. " Goku said calmly, leaving. " I'll go visit the rest of the underworld to see if I can't recruit someone else. "

" A moment. " Cried Frieza immediately, surprised at his reaction. "I was joking. "

" Yes ! Don't listen to that idiot. " Cooler advised. " Goku, if you get me out of this hell, I would potentially agree to collaborate with you. "

" Grrrrr! You weakling. " Growled Frieza.

"What? Do you really think we are in a position to refuse?" Cooler questioned. "I want to leave this damn tree."

Then, staring at Goku, Cooler wanted to know.

'' Nevertheless, knowing that we will help you save the universe, I think I can say that we deserve a reward, right?

"What do you want?" Goku questioned him.

"Oh, not much! Maybe put us in a better place! Or, give us some advantages! Or…."

Squinting, he finished.

"Resuscitate us."

Sneering slyly, Frieza nodded.

"I would order the same! For once, my brother is right! A resurrection wouldn't be such a bad reward! We're still going to help you save a universe, after all."

" Wait a minute. " Goku stopped them. " Do you really think that I will save my universe and then let you conquer it again! Don't ask for too much. "

" Come on, Goku-san, we are two choice warriors. " Said Frieza. " And you know you can trust us to do our best to win this tournament. "

" We will be very wise, I promise. " Assured Cooler, with a sly smile. " What's up ? Are you afraid that you can't beat us again ? "

" For my part, I don't care if I continue to conquer the universe. " Roared a third voice.

Shaking his cocoon, the third person hanging from the tree appeared. So King Cold cried out.

'' What I want is revenge on this dirty little saiyan brat. "

Seething with rage, the great alien re-saw the moment Mirai Trunks had coldly killed him. The being had never committed a worse humiliation.

" King Cold, I guess. " Cried Goku. " I have to admit I always wanted to get to know you! From what I heard, you could have defeated me, back then, if you had the opportunity to fight in your supreme form. "

" And you, you are the famous Goku that my sons keep talking to me about! From what I've heard, you are the man who triggered the end of our empire! And now, do you have the nerve to come and recruit us to save your ass ? "

" What? Are you not interested in leaving these places ? "

" Grrr! Do you know how much I would like to kill you, you damned saiyans ? "

Yet, daring to smile, he cried out.

" It seems that your planet has a collection of mystical objects known as Dragon Balls! If you resurrect us, I might consider the idea of helping you. "

Remaining silent, Goku cried out.

" The winner of the tournament will be able to walk away with the super dragons balls and have three wishes! One of you just needs to earn them, and you can use them to resurrect. "

Looking at each other then, the three aliens showed their suspicion of each other. None of them were sure they would win this award. Moreover, whoever could win them, could very well keep the vows to himself and leave the other two languishing in hell.

" We want you to revive us with the dragon balls. " Frieza asserted.

" What? Don't you trust each other enough to use the dragon balls to resuscitate each other ? "

" Shut up ! Just tell us if you agree with this condition. "

Not knowing what to say, Goku hesitated for a few seconds. Then, finally, he nodded.

" Okay ! May only if you promise me not to make any bad moves during the tournament. "

" No problem ! I already told you, we are people you can trust. "

Despite knowing it was a lie, Goku could only nod, before placing two fingers on his forehead.

" I will come back for you later. "

As soon as he disappeared, King Cold roared.

" This guy is a total idiot! Does he really think we're going to change? How could you two lose to such a jerk, you two? "

Keeping silence, these sons did not answer him. Still, not afraid of him for a while, Frieza was already considering what he was going to do after the end of this tournament.

"If we can survive, I would kill Father and Cooler and I could become the ultimate emperor of the universe. "

Killing a huge tick, a Saiyan tore off one of its legs, before starting to eat it.

" Broly. " Cried a voice behind his back.

Turning around, the saiyen saw his father arrive, while watching what his son was eating.

" I have already told you a hundred times! If you eat the meat of these insects without cooking it, you risk poisoning yourself. "

" Sorry… father. "

Sitting next to him, Paragus sighed, before raising his face to the sky.

" Damn it! I wonder how long we will have to stay here. "

Just nodding, Broly was about to eat the insect's leg again, when he suddenly sat up, groaning.

" What is it, Broly ? "

" So, is he the most powerful mortal in Universe 7 ? "

Turning around, Paragus then saw two men standing in front of him. And one of them frightened him so much that the old Saiyan fell on his buttocks.

" Bee… Beerus-sama ? "

" Hum ? " The god wondered. " We know each other ? "

" Y ... Yes ! We… We have already crossed paths on planet Vegeta. "

Then bowing to the god, Paragus cried out.

" My name is Paragus! It is a great honor for me to meet you. "

" Yeah! Yeah! I reassure you, I did not come for you! But for your son. "

" My son ? " Paragus wondered.

" Me ? " Broly wondered, pointing to himself.

Looking at him silently, Whis finally smirked.

Looking at his fist, Yamcha was sitting on a chair. Feeling a stomach ache, the Warrior felt his body shake as he stamped his foot on the ground. Trying to calm his breath, he looked at the sky above him to see that it was already dark.

In an hour, the tournament of power was about to begin. He had been warned a week ago. First, Goku had simply told him that he would participate in a tournament in order to simply amuse Zeno and win a big reward. But, then, he had heard about the real issue of this tournament. Either they won and survived, or they lost and got wiped out.

And that scared Yamcha. To be fair, he hadn't trained much since Cell's death, and his power level had hardly increased. So he was afraid of being now useless to the rest of the group.

"Did I do well to agree to join this tournament ? "

Around him, he saw part of the rest of the team. There was Krillin, with Android 18, Piccolo chatting with Android 17, Buu eating chocolate, while Mr. Satan massaged his shoulders, Tenshinhan meditating in his corner, and Muten Roshi, just looking at the sky to see the arrival of the rest of the team. Goku and Gohan had gone to the afterlife, while Vegeta traveled through time, along with Bulma, to seek Mirai Trunks.

Nonetheless, other than himself, Yamcha was in no rush to see the rest of the team.

" Frieza… Cell… King Cold… What are we going to do if they manage to create a revolt against us ? "

Suddenly hearing a sound of teleportation, Yamcha saw four people arriving. There were Goku and Gohan there, as well as Paikuhan and Dabra. Having only had the privilege of coming to Earth for twenty-four hours, the two fighters had kept their halos.

" Hi guys. " Cried Goku. " Baba let me go from the Hereafter with these two! We'll have to go get Frieza and the others a bit later. "

Looking at the tournament participants in front of him, Paikuhan nodded, while Dabra sat with his arms folded. Nevertheless, the demon cried out.

" Many of you must remember me as Babidi's henchman! Please know that I apologize for my past sins! I would do anything in my power to help you save your universe. "

Despite his words, Krillin couldn't help but feel a shudder, remembering their meeting and becoming a statue. For his part, Piccolo stared at the demon in silence. Still, deciding to do the same as with Android 17, the namek nodded, before asserting.

" Perfect ! For this tournament, it will be essential to forget our old quarrels and think only of victory. "

Glad to see that the namek had forgiven the demon, Goku suddenly wrapped his arm around Paikuhan's shoulders before presenting him.

" Everybody ! Here is Paikuhan! After me, he was the most powerful warrior in Heaven. "

" Paradise ? " Tenshinhan repeated. " So, I'm guessing you did all kinds of heroic deeds. "

" I never wanted to consider myself a hero! Paikuhan retorted! I just fought against a horde of demons who wanted to eradicate my people. "

Feeling his gaze fixed on him in his back, Dabra cried out.

" I already said I'm sorry. "

For his part, advancing towards the demon, Shin began to stare at him.

" I really hope we can trust you, Dabra! We take great risks by trusting people like you. "

" I swear not to betray your trust, Kaio-san . "

Suddenly another teleportation sound was heard. This time it was Whis and Beerus who returned with three people. The first two were Broly and Paragus. The older duo stared at the people in front of him, while Broy showed more interest in the architecture of Bulma's home, as well as the city that could be seen from the balcony.

As for the third person, it was the portrait of Goku, had a scar on his cheek, as well as a red bandana. And just like Dabra and Paikuhan, he had a halo above his head.

" The two saiyans Whis had told us about. " Gohan remarked. " The first saiyan to learn how to transform into a super saiyan and the most powerful being in the universe! But who is the third ? "

Who do you think is more powerful than Goku? Wanted to know Krillin.

Suddenly passing him, Goku stepped forward to the three saiyans. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he positioned himself in front of Broly. Showing a confident smile, he cried out.

'' It's you, isn't it? You are the most powerful being in our universe. "

Looking at Goku, without really understanding what the Saiyan was saying to him, Broly did not know what to answer him. Instead, Paragus cried out.

" I advise you not to bother my son! He could be a little violent in front of strangers. "

" Your son ? You are saiyans, aren't you ? Where are you from ? "

" I can ask you the same question. " Retorted Paragus. " From what I've heard, the planet Vegeta has been destroyed! May I know who you are and how did you survive? "

" How did I survive? I left planet Vegeta before it exploded and landed on Earth! And concerning my name, I am… "

" Kakarott. "

Surprised, Goku turned to the third saiyan. Staring at him, Goku really felt like he was standing in front of a mirror. Losing his smile, Goku noticed.

" What Vegeta said is true ! You are Raditz's father ! And so, mine too. "

" My name is Bardock. " Simply said the saiyan. " And it's been a long time since I have had any more children. "

" I'm here, however. "

" It's been a long time since you left my life. " Bardock assured. " I may have been present when you were born, but you were not yet born when I died. "

" Sorry ? " Goku wondered.

" I went back in time. " Bardock explained simply. " This is why I no longer consider you as my son ! I am a man belonging to past centuries. "

Seeing his father having more and more difficulty understanding Bardock's words, Gohan dared to take a step towards the man he could consider his grandpa.

" Hello ! Let me introduce myself, my name is Gohan! Glad to meet you. "

" Gohan ? "

Staring at the newcomer, Bardock cried out.

" Wait a moment…, are you a saiyan? No, you don't seem to be one. "

" I'm a half-saiyan. " Gohan replied.

" It's my son. " Proudly announced Goku. " And her mother, Chichi, is an earthling. "

" What ? "

Seeming to get angry, Bardock roared.

" Fool! How could you defile your origins by sleeping with that bitch of earthly? Have you no shame, renegade ? "

" Sorry ? "

" The saiyans are a people of proud and supreme warriors! Any other breed is considered inferior! How did you dare to create a bastard? You are the shame of the saiyans, Kaka… "

He fell silent suddenly, feeling Gohn's hand crush his mouth. Staring at his 'grandfather', Gohan showed a calm face, despite showing anger in his gaze.

" Bardock-san, with all due respect, please calm down! No matter what you say, I was born on this planet and my father is your son! And know that I am very proud to have his genes in me! And last thing,… "

Clenching his grip more fiercely, he cried out.

" My mother's name is Chichi and I would never, ever let someone call her a bitch! Have I been clear enough ? "

In response, Bardock shot his energy out of himself to transform into a super-saiyan. Stepping back, several people on the balcony felt drafts hitting them, as tablecloths and tables began to fly.

Finally, taking a step back, Gohan freed Bardock, who roared.

" Miserable, how dare you ? "

Clenching his fist, he pointed it at his grandson's face.

" I see that your father did not teach you respect at all! I'll take care of this right now. "

However, a hand grabbed his wrist and stopped him dead.

" That ? " Bardock wondered.

He was in super saiyan. A transformation feared by all beings in the universe. He had become a being capable of defeating anyone. However, by not even needing to transform too, Goku had managed to stop him dead.

" What … ? " Repeated Bardock.

And before he could react, Goku kicked him in the stomach, which made him flutter back. Passing between Paragus and Broly, Bardock ends up collapsing at Beerus' feet.

" Hey, Whis! Are you sure it can be of use to us ? "

" I hope so. "

Getting up while wincing, Bardock ignored the talk of the two deities and focused only on his son.

" Kakarott… how dare you ? "

" I forbid anyone to attack members of my family. " Goku announced. " And just one thing, I'm not Kakarott! My name is Goku. "

" What ? Wait, are you telling me that you dare denigrate your true race? You are a real shame. "

" I don't see how I should be proud to belong to a people known only for their brutality and their massacres! Goku retorted! I much prefer to be compared to a weak land that appreciates living in peace. "

" You little…" Bardock roared, getting up.

" Calm down. " Beerus ordered immediately.

Immediately freezing, Bardock saw the god walk over to a chair and sit on it.

" I tell you right away! Your family problems… I don't care! Me, all I want is to survive! So, you better stop arguing and start thinking about a strategy to make us win! First of all, who is the team captain ? "

" It was decided that it would be Gohan. " Muten Roshi said.

Watching the warriors who had just appeared, the old man asked.

" Objections ? "

" Any. " Dabra assured.

For their part, Paikuhan and Paragus shrugged, while Brdock let out a low growl.

" I'm afraid for our teamwork. " Tenshinhan remarked, seeing how much tension emanated from the group.

" Goku. " Cried Piccolo. " There is only half an hour left! It might be time to look for the other members. "

" Okay. " Goku nodded, placing two fingers on his forehead.

Then he teleported.

" What…? " Paragus and Bardock wondered.
