Kinda feels weird calling dark ash ash black like Goku black...was gonna have dark ash wear grey but to fit the color scheme of Goku black I decided dark ash wear something black.

Present timeline; universe 10;Kai world...
Zamasu is pouring a cup of tea for himself and Gawasu while they sit under the tree at the table.
"Why won't you have faith in the humans?" wonders Gawasu.
"Everyone has their own opinions." says Zamasu setting the cups of tea on the table.
"The tea you drink is like a mirror into your heart. Tea brewed with a clouded heart will always be murky. Is this murkiness fear or hesitation?" says Gawasu.
"Gawasu, you always say that learning from the mistakes they make, and raising a world on top of them is what humans do." says Zamasu.
"Yes." says Zamasu.
"From what I see, the humans never learn. I'm sure you have seem many more examples of it from planet babari." says Zamasu.
"We must wait for the humans to learn Zamasu." says Gawasu.
"Are we only to watch over them?" wonders Zamasu.
"That is what all kais must do. Watch how humans develop into what they believe mankind should be." says Gawasu.
"When I arrived here, I was hoping to learn justice from you. But is the gods' justice just to watch over the mortals? Sounds boring to me." says Zamasu.
Gowasu notices Zamasu's pot of tea brewing due to Zamasu's unpleasant words.
"Zamasu." says Gawasu.
"It's boring watching something your not interested in." says Zamasu ignoring Gawasu.
"Zamasu!" says Gawasu.
"Huh?" wonders Zamasu.
"Have you ever thought about good and evil?" wonders Gawasu.
"Yes I have. Evil should perish. Justice is necessary for good to flourish." says Zamasu.
"I see. However this is what I believe. Justice entails bringing a balance between good and evil." says Gawasu.
"Balance?" wonders Zamasu.
"Even if evil makes you lose your way, you stand your ground and keep searching for the path of good. Is that search not what justice is. It is for that reason, we gods gave the humans knowledge." says Gawasu.
"We mustn't allow evil Gawasu. Evil is violence like that of the barbarians, and conceit lIke that of son Goku, who would trade blows with the gods." says Zamasu.
"Zamasu it isn't your place to say such things. Not until you get to know the mortals." says Gawasu.
"Humans use their god given wisdom for evil and spoil our beautiful world. The humans who have gained wisdom are truly evil." says Zamasu.
"Does this not strike you as halfhearted?" wonders Gawasu.
"What good are gods if they do not destroy evil?" wonders Zamasu.
"Zamasu, it is wonderful to have a strong sense of justice. But there are times when keeping your heart pure and guiding the lost will lead to peace. Do not forget that it was for the sake of your heart that you polished your battle skills. Gods are not perfect. Even gods learn and grow." says Gawasu.
Zamasu bows for forgiveness toward how he reacted to the idea of what's good vs evil within lifeforms.
"Now that you have some idea, would you brew a new cup of tea?" wonders Gawasu.
Zamasu set the tea back on the cart and pushed it away from the table until a thought crossed his mind.
"Gawasu, merely watching over mortals is a sin." says Zamasu looking at the sky.
Present timeline;universe 7; earth...
"Now here we go! There!" says Bulma pressing the button on the capsule.
Bulma reveals the newly repaired time machine, making everyone smile seeing how good it looked without the moss covering it.
"It's all shiny." says Goku.
"We were the ones who polished it." says Pilaf.
"We did our best." say Mai and Shu.
"I helped too!" says Trunks.
"Is Ash trying to see himself as Goku or his future self? Would never expect this ash to wanna be in a gi. Hmmmmm...it's none of my business." thinks future trunks looking at Ash.
Future trunks looked at Bulma happy to beable to go back to the future with help from the present.
"Mom, thank you very much." says Future trunks.
"Trunks." says Vegeta.
Future trunks looked back at Vegeta and Goku with one facing him and the other admiring the time machine.
"Let's go." says Vegeta.
"Yes." says future trunks.
Vegeta, Ash, Goku and Future Trunks then climb into the time machine and prepare to travel to the future.
Future timeline...
Once they arrive, Goku is surprised to see the alternate timeline look so bleak and destroyed.
"Everything is wrecked. Is this really the future?" wonders Goku.
"I'm more interested on where this Goku black guy is." says Ash looking around.
Future Trunks is surprised to see that Future Mai's body is not where she collapsed.
"Trunks! We need to stick together!" says Ash watching Future trunks head to where he last saw future mai.
Vegeta heads over to future trunks, who was holding Future mais beanie hat.
Goku scans around where they landed, sensing people staring at him from a distance while he walks toward Vegeta and future trunks.
"Guys, we all need to stick together! As in no splitting up until further notice." says Ash.
"What's wrong?" wonders Vegeta.
"Mai...she was supposed to have collapsed here. " says future trunks.
Goku was heading toward Vegeta and future trunks when suddenly he was attacked by members of Earth's Resistance.
"Huh?" wonders Goku looking up, "Heh?!"
Goku was wide eyed watching the missiles aim for him, coming down in a group, with the earth's reinforcements assuming Goku was his evil self.
"Goku!" says future trunks stunned.
Future Trunks uses his sword to cut the missiles fired at Goku, prompting Vegeta to smirk proudly. The soldiers prepare to attack once more, not once noticing the attire colors. Ash ran up to see what was going on and was shocked to see people aiming at them.
"This is for killing my friends!" says man 1.
"Wait!" says Future trunks.
"That voice..." says man 1.
"He's not black! Goku black wears black not orange!" says Future trunks.
"Huh? Wait...is that you trunks?" wonders man 1 lifting the shades of his helmet.
"Huh?" wonders man 2 confused.
"He was the one who came to help fight against Goku black!" says man 1.
"Heh?!" wonders man 2 stunned.
Man 2 stiffened up and soluted future trunks for how far he's gotten taking on Goku black.
"We're so very sorry!" says man 2.
"We appreciate what you did last time trunks. Because of that, we the resistance-"
"Trunks!" says man 2 running up to trunks, "Can you sign an autograph?"
"This isn't the time for an autograph!" says man 1.
"B...but..." says man 2.
"No buts! No one can have autographs! Not even me!" says man 1 annoyed.
"Then we can ask together..." says man 2.
The men take a closer look at Goku, who was grinning like an idiot at them while scratching the back of his head.
"Now that you mention it..." says man 1.
"I'm sorry for mistaking you for black. You look similar to him so we assumed." says man 1.
"That person also has a wicked expression." says man 2.
"They say it's because of your face." says Goku turning his head to face Vegeta.
"It is your face that's putting everyone on edge!" says Vegeta angrily.
"No it's not! I just happen to look like black! You'd beable t tell from our expressions or actions." says Goku.
"Ah...stop please!" says Future trunks.
The men look at Ash curiously, making Ash feel uncomfortable.
"How is Ash alive and a kid?" wonders man 2.
"Members of the resistance, this is Son Goku, Vegeta and Ash ketchum. It would take a while to explain everything." says Future trunks.
"Trunks wants to say that, he brought you guys from the past to help defeat black." says man 1.
"Ohhhh, I was really confused by what we heard about trunks ending up in the past to get help." says man 2.
"Huh?" wonders Future trunks.
"Well, isn't this something. The reinforcements are a kid version of Ash and a guy with the same face as black. That other guy though, he seems eviler than black." says man 2.
"Stop talking about my face!" says Vegeta.
"What's going on? The only people thet know about the time machine are Mai, mom and myself." thinks Future trunks.
Future trunks looked at mais beanie hat again, in realization of who would've told them.
"It couldn't be..." says future trunks shaky eyed.
"Do you have your monsters?" wonders Vegeta.
"They're called Pokémon! I have no idea." says Ash.
"Then use your saiyan powers. Don't screw yourself over though." says Vegeta.
"I wouldn't need to if Whis would've let me check to see if I still had my pokeballs in my other pants." says Ash.
"Save the excuses." says Vegeta.
"I need to know who told you that!" says Future trunks setting his hands on man 2's shoulders.
"Uhhhh...errrr...it was Mai." says man 2 hesitantly.
Underground subway...
At an underground subway station, used as the Earth's resistance headquarters, Future Mai is tending to a soldier's injuries as Future Trunks reunites with her, relieved that she is alive. Future Mai stood up stunned to see future trunks was back.
"T...Trunks? You're ba...ck." says Future Mai.
"Mai!" says Future trunks running up to Future Mai, tearing for joy that she was alright after all, "You're ok!"
"That should be my line." says future Mai happily.
"I was worried about you!" says future trunks happily putting mais hands in his.
"That was my line too!" says Future Mai.
"I'm so glad..." says future trunks.
"Ahhh..h...hey..." says Future Mai blushing embarrassed.
"I really am glad...I was so sure you were dead." says future trunks.
"Idiot. A man shouldn't be quick to tear up." says future mai.
Future Mai wiped the tears off future trunks face, smiling at him.
"Welcome back trunks." says Future Mai.
"Right..." says future trunks.
Ash was the next to arrive in the underground subway looking for the civilians, then Goku and Vegeta made it into the underground subway watching future trunks and future Mai mingle. Soon everyone was heading deeper into the subway where the civilians were.
"This is our new base?" wonders Future trunks.
"Right. I reunited with the resistance after waking up, but then black attacked the old base." says Future Mai.
Mai told everyone about Goku black attacking the old base and how long they were shooting at the evil version.
"I see. So you saved everyone." says Future trunks.
"Saved?" wonder Goku and Ash.
The curtain opens to show all the civilians either sleeping or trying to keep warm. Ash headed inside and looked around for anyone he knew from his universe.
"So many people trying to stay alive...yet there probably was more." says Ash.
"These are the only survivors left." says future Mai walking into the bunker.
"This is all that's left, huh?" wonders Goku walking into the bunker.
"Yeah...I couldn't save everyone." says future Mai falling to her knees.
"You did all you could." says Goku.
"You dot not have to be ashamed." says Vegeta walking into the bunker.
"Right..." says future Mai tearing up.
A little girl appears in front of Future Mai, handing her a handkerchief.
"Hey." says Goku leaning down.
The girl was frightened and ran away to her brother who didn't like seeing Goku around. Future Trunks walks up to the two kids and makes them smile by making silly faces.
"Don't forget Mai. You saved these smiles." says Future trunks turning around after pic,ng up the girl.
"Trunks..." says future Mai happily.
"You're not just good looking but your good with words." says an old woman.
"Not at all." says Future trunks.
"A friend of mais is a friend of ours, right?" wonders man 3.
"Right!" say the civilians.
Ash and future Hazzel...
"Where's Goten?" wonders Ash.
"Goten? Who's that? Is he someone I should know? There's no one by that name here. " says a voice.
"Really? Hmmmm...must only be in the present then." says Ash.
Ash stopped in his tracks flinching, then turned around to see a blonde teen with her hair in s ponytail, clad in a orange shirt with red flowers going diagonal, from her shoulder to the bottom corner, blue jeans with two small yellow circles on the upper side of the jeans, and yellow high heels with straps.
"Hazzel...?" wonders Ash.
"What was that?" wonders Future hazzel.
"Uhhhhh...bad time to wear high heels, huh?" wonders Ash.
"Shut up. I got stuck with this outfit for a year. And after mom managed to buy decent clothes for this chaotic world." says future Hazzel reverting her eyes.
"Oh..wait mom? You don't mean..." says Ash.
"Why the interest?" wonders future Hazzel.
"Huh?" wonders Ash taken aback.
"Why the interest in mom and some guy who's probably never been born?" wonders future Hazzel.
"No reason. I just wanted to know if there was a teen that goes by the name of goten. And your mom...well..." says Ash curiously.
Future Hazzel wasn't pleased to see a kid that resembled her dad walking around like he's never been in this timeline.
"Hey kid, why do you remind me of dad?" wonders future Hazzel.
"If there was a Goten in the present, I thought there'd be one here too but I guess there's no way he'd be born into this dreadful era." says Ash.
"You were expecting me to have a boyfriend, weren't you?" wonders Future Hazzel angrily.
"Heh? I doubt you'd find a lover with chaos going on." says Ash itching his cheek awkwardly.
"Mmmmmmhmmmm." says future Hazzel crossing her arms agitatedly.
"Errr...I don't know who'd be left to fall in love with a great girl like you." says Ash sweat dropping.
"Is that an insult or compliment?" wonders future Hazzel.
"Neither." says Ash.
"Forget about this goten guy! Why are you interested in mom and act like you've seen a ghost?!" says Future Hazzel.
"Yeesh...what made you cranky? I feel like I know you so I probably know your mom too." says Ash annoyed.
"Really now? I'll take you to mom to see if she recognizes the new face that oddly resembles dad's." says Future Hazzel.
Ash, Alternate Misty, Future Hazzel...
"Mom, this kid says he knows us. I doubt it but he does resemble dad." says Future Hazzel.
Alternate Misty was leaning against the wall on her side, curled up, still sound looked down at the older woman who looked to be in her twenties and remembered the orange hair of the girl he cared so much about. Her hair was in short pigtails that were closer to the bottom of her head, clad in a white shirt with blue around the collar of the v neck with a blue pencil line thin strip to go around that one with some space inbetween, a huge blue strip to cover her chest with a small one underneath and another one underneath the middle one that was pencil line thin, and a blue strip at the ends of the sleeves with a pencil thin line behind the strips, jean shorts that went down to the knees with a white fuzz on the bottom, and light blue shoes with a white trim on the bottom and small white circles ontop.
"So this is..Misty..." mumbles Ash.
"Wha..huh..? Hazzel, you found a friend?" wonders alternate Misty sleepily waking up.
"We're not friends." say Hazzel and Ash.
Alternate Misty stretched and sat, leaning against the wall in a sitting position to get a better look of the boy then her face went ghost white.
"Mom?" wonders Future Hazzel worried.
"I don't believe it...I...I can't believe...there's no way..." says Alternate Misty.
"Ummmm...mom...? You're scaring me." says Future Hazzel.
"Ash...is...back...he's a kid...but he's back..." says alternate Misty teary eyed.
"Ash...you mean dad...?" says future Hazzel.
Future Hazzel froze in place putting two and two together, then it hit her, the boy she was mad at was her father.
"Dad...?" wonders future Hazzel hesitantly.
Ash nodded silently watching the gloomy expression on alternate mistys face.
"A...sh...you're really...ash...?" wonders alternate Misty.
"I didn't know how I should say it but you've figured it out." says Ash saddening.
Ash awaited the punches and kicks or even a bang to the head but what he got was a weeping woman finally happy to see Ash again, who has her arms around him in a hug. Future Hazzel and Ash were caught off guard by this, mostly Ash who expected the same treatment from his Misty.
"Mist...I...don't really know...what to say..." says Ash putting his arms around her.
"Ash...it's so good to have you back with us." says alternate Misty.
"He's 10! A kid!" says Future Hazzel.
"I resent that." says Ash looking at future Hazzel.
"Yeah...he's a kid alright." says alternate misty.
"...I'm 17." says Ash.
"You are?! How?! You don't look it!" says Future Hazzel stunned.
"...I always assumed I was aging but in reality I wasn't. I guess in a way I'm like a saiyan." says Ash.
"But you're a human." says Future Hazzel.
"With how many regions I've been too and how long it took me between each of them, I'd say my rightful age is in the twenties or somewhere close to it but with regions looking like they'd take years, they took months so of course I'd still be 10 but you wouldn't have believed it if you saw a version of me in my kalos clothes." says Ash.
"So you don't know your own age. That's sad." says Future Hazzel.
"What's sad is the fact two lifestyles could be going on here. Sure it wouldn't do anyone any good but at least people wouldn't need weapons." says Ash.
Ash sat beside alternate Misty and looked at her, leaning against the wall.
"Atleast that's how things were for me but it didn't last. Now my Hazzel is without my Misty or me." says Ash.
"Be happy you're alive. Cuz it's been only me to take care of Hazzel since future you died." says alternate Misty.
Alternate Misty took Ash by the arm and made him sit on her legs with her arms wrapped around him.
"Hey. This isn't really the time." says Ash embarrassed.
"Awwwww, feels weird having a husband as a kid. But you're a handsome little man." says Alternate Misty poking Ash's cheek.
"Misty! I'm not little! I'm jut short! Short people look younger than they are!" says Ash.
"Our house blew up so I can't show you it." says alternate Misty.
"Hold up...how long were we married?! There's no way we'd beable to in this timeline let alone with me constantly traveling!" says Ash stunned.
"Let's see...a couple years at best." says Alternate Misty.
"You're bluffing! Who'd find a way to get married in a post apocalyptic world?!" wonders Ash.
"Hey now...I finally get to see you after so many months...don't ruin the moment." says Alternate Misty holding ash close.
"Oh wow...did not expect that. Not with the way I've been living my life. Must be easy marrying people when you can't travel anymore like usual." says Ash looking down.
Goku, Future trunks, future Mai, Vegeta...
Vegeta gets annoyed by Goku and walks toward the group of civilians, taking out a capsule.
"Everyone make some space! Just do it!" says Vegeta.
Vegeta came to a stop, looking at Ash with his future family but said nothing about it and clicked the button on the capsule. Everyone around Vegeta were confused by what he was doing until they saw the feast of foods in the middle of the subway.
"Dad..." says Future trunks.
"Dont get the wrong idea. I just brought it here for Bulma." says Vegeta looking back at Future trunks.
Vegeta tosses the container of capsules to future Mai, who looks at them, unsure of why she need to hold it.
"The two other capsules are supposed to have other sorts of things too. Use the most as you wish." says Vegeta.
"Ri...right." says future Mai happily.
"Man, Bulma sure did a great job!" says Goku looking at the buffet of foods.
"Of course! She is my wife after all. Looks like Ash is getting acquainted with his family too." says Vegeta.
"He doesn't look as baffled as he did with Zenny around." says Goku.
"Zenny?" wonders Vegeta.
"Alright everyone, let's dig in! No holding back!" says man 1.
"Yeah!" say everyone.
Goku is surprised to see Future Yajirobe also eating, when he thought he was dead in the future timeline.
"You wouldn't happen to be..." says Goku.
Future yajirobe turned his head to look back at who was talking and saw Goku with a shocked expression.
"Yajirobe?! But how?!" wonders Goku.
"Goku?!" wonders Yajirobe stunned.
"The future you is alive?!" wonders Goku.
"Didn't you die?!" wonders Future yajirobe walking up to Goku.
"Weren't you killed by the androids?" wonders Future trunks.
"Nah. I nearly was but then Korin gave me his last sensu bean to save my life. He was like 'Don't worry about me, jsut eat this.' and I've been living in fear ever since. Just thinking about it makes me wanna cry." says future Yajirobe.
Future yajirobe choked down the food in his hands while Goku was now relieved more than shocked talking to Future yajirobe.
"It sure is shocking to see you here. Would never see you as an ally to the reinforcements considering how much you hate getting involved." says Goku.
"He must've gained the resolve to fight when Korin saved him." says Future trunks.
"Not really. He's always in hiding when we go into battle and just turns up when its meal time." says man 1.
Future trunks and Goku were shocked by what they heard while Vegeta wasn't to thrilled by the reply.
"Hey! Don't ruin everything by saying that! I wanted it to stay a mystery!" says Yajirobe annoyed.
"But isn't it true?" wonders man 1.
"They don't need to know that!" says Yajirobe.
Ash, Future Hazzel and Alternate Misty...
"So...dad, if you and mom married in this timeline, does that mean you're a couple?" wonders Future Hazzel taking a bite of her food.
"I'm always going to new regions, so, I can't say we are together yet we act like we're married. Misty was with Hazzel awaiting gym battles at cerulean gym while I spent time in ketchums and sons became a family but not in the literal sense. I guess you can say I was adopted into the son family until I was able to continue my journey through the region at the time. Goten considers himself as my brother as well as Gohan. Even his daughter is calling me uncle and we aren't related whatsoever. The more appropriate way of looking at it would be that we are extended family to eachother despite the differences in our lifestyles. I love the idea of Goku being my dad and how he somehow became a lover of mom's. It went from me believing Goku was my real dad to wishful thinking and now I can only see him as a hero who just happens to have the same hairstyle as me. Go figure." says Ash.
"Yeah...go figure." says Future Hazzel.
"To think the only reason I wanted Goku to be my dad so bad was because my dad left my mom to take care of me all on her own. It's stupid and ridiculous how much I wanted my dad back the moment I looked at Goku, like something clicked in my head and I just went with it." says Ash.
"You want Goku as your dad when there was no way he'd beable to meet Delia? Well it is suspicious your hairstyles are the same but there's nothing else that says he's your dad." says Alternate Misty.
"Ehhehehe...yeah. I can't see myself being with the z fighter families yet I can't see myself without them. I'm torn inside over what I know is true over an imagined lifestyle that the z fighters gave me." says Ash.
"So, Ash you gonna eat or what?" wonders Alternate Misty.
"Yiu guys need the nutrition more than I do." says Ash.
"You need to eat too." says future Hazzel.
"No really I'm good." says Ash waving it off.
Ash watched his future family dig into the food like no tomorrow and sweat dropped, unsure what to say.
"Seriously, you gonna eat Ash?" wonders Alternate misty.
"It's more for you guys. You need to eat all you can get." says Ash.
"You'd prefer starving?" says future Hazzel.
"Compared to me, you guys are starving." says Ash awkwardly.
"Dad eat." says Future Hazzel.
"No." says Ash.
"Eat something!" says future Hazzel.
"Ok...ok...I will." says Ash grabbing the nearest food.
After meal time, Ash was leaning against Alternate Misty smiling with his eyes closed, knowing he was able to see Misty again, be it this version was a grownup but that didn't really matter much to him.
"Ash, you can hangout with your so called family after Goku black is destroyed." says Vegeta walking up to Ash.
"What good will that do if we leave right after everything is back to normal? I need to get to know these versions." says Ash not once opending his eyes.
"You can't be lounging around ash! We helped you so you need to in return! NOW LETS GET OUTSIDE!" says Vegeta angrily.
"Alright already. Jeez how... did I get myself into this? I was happy to help Future trunks but not if you scream at me all the damn time!" says Ash annoyed, getting up.
Vegeta yanked Ash by the arm and practically dragged him outside where Goku, Future trunks and future Mai were waiting for them.
Outside...
"It's been some time since i saw them like that. Thank you so much." says future Mai happily.
"I have a feeling I know this lifestyles Ash, but I can't quite pinpoint it unless Misty or Hazzel of this timeline tell me more about him that I don't already know." says Ash.
"Tough luck." says Vegeta.
"Real peace can't come back unless we beat Goku black." says Goku.
"Will you be fighting too?" wonders Future Mai looking st future trunks.
"Yeah, I intend on it." says Future trunks.
"He'll stand and watch. I will defeat Goku black alone." says Vegeta.
"Heh? That why'd we bring ash if you're the only one fighting? I wanna defeat him too!" says Goku stunned.
"He's only here in case his evil self appears." says Vegeta.
"...Future trunks said it was a possibility!" says Ash.
"Yeah! And we have yet to spot a twisted version of yourself." says Vegeta.
"If you don't like it when he fights, can you atleast let me?" wonders Goku.
"Nope! It's my turn!" says Vegeta.
"What?! But I missed out on the battles last time!" says Goku.
"Not my problem." says Vegeta.
"Then let's decide with Rock Paper Scissors." says Goku.
"That kids game? I say no." says Vegeta.
"Awww come on!" says Goku bummed.
"All we do is Rock Paper Scissors for who gets to fight the enemy!" says Vegeta.
"But...it's a great way to know who deserves to go first." says Goku.
"I'm stuck waiting for an evil entity that may or may not appear." says Ash as annoyed as he was bummed.
"Rock paper scissors!" says Goku.
"I said no! Let's not play a silly game!" says Vegeta.
"Do it!" says Goku.
"I'm not doing it!" says Vegeta annoyed.
"If you don't play, you automatically lose forcing me to be the one to otaku on Goku black!" says Goku.
"Things get weird when Rock Paper Scissors gets involved. Maybe weird isn't the right word, but yeah, it's weird seeing grown men play a kids game." says Ash.
"Oh good. It's not just us. They don't seem worried at all." says Future trunks.
"You're a child Goku! A child in a grownup body! While Ash is a teen in a kids body!" says Vegeta.
"He's technically still 10. With our aging, he looks short." says Goku.
"With the hyperbolic chamber, He gained 10 years dumbass. So wouldn't he and Gohan be in their thirties?" wonders Vegeta.
"...Well, if he stayed 17 from when kid buu died. He'd...no wonder why he's so confused. Ok, so if Gohan was 11 when he and I got out of the hyperbolic time chamber then...10 days within the time chamber after cell and I died would put Ash at what...20? Yeah, and Gohan would be 21 when going to highschool and that's impossible. So Gohan should be uhhh 25 now and Ash 24? Present time not future time." says Goku.
Goku scratched his head trying to think logically but that aging would fit the future more than present timeline but his brain only hurt the more he tried to make sense of the timelines.
"Let's stop talking about aging and get on with the Goku black chaos." says Future trunks awkwardly.
"Right." says Goku.
"If it'll shut you up, we will play this lousy lame game." says Vegeta.
"Yes!" says Goku happily.
Future trunks, Ash and Future Mai stared at Goku and Vegeta blankly as they played Rock Paper Scissors to see who would attempt to kill Goku black first. Goku lost having scissors go against Vegeta's rock.
"Ahhhh! No! I lost!" says Goku shocked.
"I won't lose to a cheap trick that that!" says Vegeta.
"You're not wrong Goku. You heard what I told Zeno...zenny...whatever he prefers to go by, I might as well be in my twenties if...if the regions were yearly yet they aren't so, I can pass as a 10 year old but in your terms I'm most likely in my late teens or early young adult years." says Ash.
"Back to the matter at hand-"
"Let me fight too. I need to save the world I live in." says Future trunks.
"It's our world! Your timeline trunks!" says Vegeta.
"I can use my own hands to fight him!" says Future trunks.
"No." says Vegeta.
"But dad!" says Future trunks.
"You and Ash have people to look after. It wouldn't be right to go into battle if you die, leaving loved ones to mourn." says Vegeta.
"Huh?" wonder Future trunks and future Mai.
"In the unlikely event that the situation takes a turn for the worse, you two need to return to the past. Understand?" says Vegeta.
"Can you believe he'd say something like that? Hasn't he grown?" wonders Goku.
"No...errrr...I mean I know I said we were a couple but...we're not in that kind of relationship." says Future trunks.
"Exactly." says Future Mai.
"You lied to Mai?!" wonders Goku.
"...we're really good friends but most of the resistance assumes we're a couple." says Future trunks sheepishly.
The three Saiyans and and supposed saiyan then fly away, ready to do battle with Goku Black.
Another part of the city...
Goku Black is seen embracing the bleak world.
"What a lamentable view. But I can see it, the future of this land, shining bright, having been freed of the pests known as humans," says Goku black.
A teen that looked similar to z Ash was flying around looking for Goku black, unaware he was watching the city below. The teen was 17 like Ash originally was but had Ash's regular hairstyle yet instead of blue and white, the gi was consisted of a blue undershirt, black gi with a blue cloth over his waist, blue fingerless gloves, and dark red and white boots.
"Tell me again why you decided to use me?" wonders dark Ash finding Goku black.
"You want to kill Ash, right? You desire revenge for what Ash did to you." says Goku black.
"I wouldn't call it revenge so much as me wanting Ash dead for good." says dark Ash.
"Then you're gonna hate what I tell you. I killed this timelines Ash." says Goku black.
"What?! He's my kill not yours!" says dark ash annoyed.
"Let me finish. I said this timeline's, so there must be a Ash in the present that Trunks brought here." says Goku black.
"If you're trying to make me happy, it's pointless unless I see for myself what that nuisance looks like now." says dark Ash.
"You'll be pleased. Don't worry. We both will get what we want soon. My utopia is nearly complete. You can kill Ash afterward if you don't see him while I create my vision. The humans must sit back and await their judgement." says Goku black.
Goku black and dark ash notice a Ki blast bring fired high into the air causing Goku black to look up concerned while dark Ash was curious.
Where the group of saiyans landed...
"Ok, now Goku black should beable to find us no matter where he is." says Goku.
Using the light, Goku black motions for dark ash to follow him to the heroes of the future.
"Dark Ash is back! Or would you rather Ash black? I prefer dark ash like back during the pyramid battle. You remember, right?" says Dark ash.
"I'd rather forget." says Ash annoyed.
"Still 10 years old? Now you decide to wear attires like Goku black?" wonders Dark ash.
"And what? Did Goku black find a way to turn 17 year old me evil?" wonders Ash.
"Not really. No. I'll leave that for you to decide." says dark ash.
Ash looked at the man next to dark Ash and was shocked by how much he resembled Goku despite wearing all black aside from the cloth around the waist.
"Th...that's...an evil Goku?" wonders Ash.
"Black." says Future trunks annoyed.
"Could've sworn I destroyed the time machine." says Goku black.
"It's clear you didn't." says dark ash.
"Suspiscious." says Goku black unamused.
"So who kills who first?" wonders Dark ash.
"Let's make this perfectly clear, my super saiyan blue will bury you." says Vegeta going ssj God blue.
"Someone's rearing to go. I'll hold off the pitiful trainer while you take on the other three." says Dark ash.
Goku black was ignoring dark ash, looking down at Vegeta smirking, making future trunks feel uneasy.
"He's completely unphazed by the super saiyan blue form. It's like he's seen it before." thinks future trunks.
"Wonderful. So this is what a warrior class clad in godly aura looks like." says Goku black clapping.
"Ash is a human so he shouldn't beable to transform into a godly saiyan." says dark ash.
"Don't always assume." says Ash.
"Oh, I'm not assuming. It's a well known fact you're a human. So there shouldn't be any surprises." says dark ash.
"Keep assuming then." says Ash amused.
Goku black teleports in front of Vegeta without the Saiyan prince instantly reacting.
"You've trained well. But you're still a mere mortal." says Goku black.
Vegeta teleported away from Goku black at the others, surprised by how Goku black was able to get close to them.
"How did he get so close so quickly? He's become stronger than he was when fighting Kakarot. However...it means nothing when facing off against super saiyan blue." thinks Vegeta.
Vegeta and Goku black...
Vegeta then prepares to assault Goku Black, launching him far away with a barrage of hard punches.
Ash, dark ash, Goku and future trunks...
"If this timelines ash is dead, how are there two Ash's?" wonders Goku.
"Leave it up to your imagination." sighs Future trunks.
"Goku black found a way to go to the past and turn Ash evil! The scoundrel!" says Goku annoyed.
"...You dont know that. He can only go to the past once." says Future trunks agitatedly.
"Then he tricked us when coming to see where you were?" wonders Goku.
"Don't hurt your brain Goku. Whatever the case, we have new villains to take on." says future trunks.
"You know, watching someone with my face get beaten up by Vegeta is strange to me. I'm not sure how I feel about it." says Goku crossing his arms unsure.
"What's weird is there being an evil you lurking around with the evil version of me. What other surprises are we in for?" wonders Ash leaning his head confused.
"If there is anyone else he brought, we're screwed. Suverely screwed if there's more allies of black than there are us." says future trunks.
"This reminds me of the time there was another Vegeta on planet potaufue." says Goku.
"Goku, he said 'You're still a mere mortal.' Wouldn't that mean he's a god? Is he Zamasu?" says Future trunks.
"I guess that sorta might...I can't say you're wrong with the way he reacts to earthlings." says Goku.
"Ash, hit me. Try and hit me before I get the first strike in." says Dark ash.
"You are me so...alright, we have the same moves either way." says Ash.
"Alright we'll go at eachother in three...two...one." says Dark ash.
Vegeta and Goku black...
Vegeta knocks Goku Black into the ground and further assaults him, but Goku Black, unaffected by the attacks, smirks at Vegeta, who suddenly senses someting off about Goku black.
"What am I sensing from Goku black? He doesn't have any transformations as far as I know." thinks Vegeta.
Goku, Ash, dark ash, and future trunks...
Goku and future trunks watched Ash and dark Ash start off with barrages of kicks and punches, going from the ground into the air. Both Ash's looked evenly matched until dark Ash powered up gaining a blue and black aura, chuckling sinisterly. The moment was cut short when they noticed Vegeta flying toward them, gegging knocked back to where Goku and Future Trunks are standing.
"Vegeta?!" wonders Ash looking down.
Dark ash looked down to see Goku black charging at the group and got really annoyed watching Goku black and Vegeta in his battle space.
"I was about to pummel ash! Dont bring your opponent over to us!" says dark ash.
"You have started torturing? You were about to pummel Ash to a pulp but got interrupted?" wonders Goku black annoyed.
"No. I let you be the first opponent so now my battle time is ruined." says Dark ash.
"Don't let me take away your fun time injuring ash. You can't let distractions keep you from your preys." says Goku back.
"I didn't plan on it. I sensed Vegeta's Ki coming toward us suddenly." says dark ash.
"Torture the kid all you want. He's of no interest to me." says Goku black.
Dark ash nodded and cracked his neck and knuckles, then put his fists together to slammed his fists in Ashs stomach, causing him to get sent backwards away from the others.
Goku black, Vegeta, Goku and future trunks...
"You have come surprisingly far for someone with a human body. Allow me to honor you by showing you something special." says Goku black.
"What?" wonders Vegeta.
Goku black powers up, revealing his new transformation, gaining a pink version of super saiyan with pink eyes and a dark pink aura, shocking the trio.
"What the..." says Vegeta.
"Black has...different colored hair and..." says future trunks, mouth agape in disbelief.
