Chapter 2: Pendulum Room (時の部屋 Toki no Heya)
Eliminate the Saiyan Race.
It was a simple suggestion given to Frieza by Beerus,when the latter was quite happy with Frieza. While they were perfect for his army, Saiyans were a little too proud to be loyal to Frieza. But, even so, there was no real reason for Frieza to destroy them. Frieza had a very different reason for his brutality towards the Saiyans. While Vegeta was aware of the "Legendary Super Saiyan" myth, few in the Saiyan homeworld were familiar with the old tales of the Super Saiyan God. Once Frieza discovered this story, he summoned all the Saiyan warriors back home and had his men searching for details, despite his advisors assuring him it was a myth.
But, Beerus' suggestion ran through his mind, causing paranoia.
Feeling that the Saiyans were already too dangerous, he declared to himself that even the slightest chance it was true was too much of a risk, and annihilated the entire planet for that reason alone.
Even when he could have just had his army clear the planet of inhabitants and sold.
Yet, he kept a handful of Saiyans alive due to deep psychological reasons.
"If you had acted on my suggestion, I wouldn't be here today," Beerus told him. "Find me the Super Saiyan God and I'll be happy with you again. You have one year, make one if you cannot find one."
King Kai, who had been spying on the conversation, had reached out to Earth.
"Sir, what's a Saiyan?" Goku asked.
"They were a warrior race. They usually have a tail, unlike Goku here, and become giant Oozaru when they look at a moon. Frieza destroyed their planet and now there are only four left," King Kai had replied.
Master Roshi then stepped forward and addressed Goku.
"There's something...something your grandfather once told me that I think you should know. Long ago, your grandpa Gohan was walking through the woods when he came upon a crater that had been recently made in the ground. When he went to examine it more closely, he found what appeared to be some sort of spaceship, and next to it, there you were, lying in a little round pod. Gohan tried to take care of you, but you were wild. Downright uncontrollable and unusually powerful for a baby. You wanted nothing to do with Gohan's kindness. Then, one day, there was a terrible accident. You fell into a deep ravine and badly injured your head. Your grandfather feared that he had lost you, but somehow, miraculously, you survived. Yes, any other child would have died, but you recovered. And from that day on, you became a happy loving boy."
"I'm from outer space!?"
The Oracle Fish had told Beerus of a prophecy, involving an arch rival worthy of him in 19 years.
Looking for the person in the prophecy, who had appeared in his dream, Beerus had finally arrived on Earth.
However, what greeted him was an All-You-Can-Eat contest. A Young Saiyan challenged him, stating that he knew Beerus had come for a challenge.
"Really delicious food of all kinds, if you lose then you must promise you'd try again next year!"
And the purple cat was having the time of his life, before he ended up eating something too spicy for his tongue.
He ran around throwing a tantrum, drank gallons of water to no avail, then started stuffing his mouth with food to bring relief to his tongue.
And in the end, he had lost. The Saiyan was like a black hole who kept eating at an amazing speed.
When it was finally time to go back, he requested that the champion spars with him. And then he flicked his finger, almost killing Goku.
"Mark my words. I'll be back in a year."
Then he faced towards the sky.
"You better give me what I really want by then, or I'll visit your planet again" , said Beerus, which made King Kai shiver.
Then walking to the host Bulma, he said "Please organize a feast again for me next year, I'll come for sure. Please make it as good or better, since it would be the planet's last!"
He then flew up, asking Whis to tag along.
"Don't worry though, I'll take you along as my cook" he said, as he left the planet.
At Kami's Lookout, there was a room known as the Time Room, which contained numerous clocks and a huge pendulum swinging back and forth in it. The pendulum swung over a ring, in which Goku stood alone, waiting for a portal to the past to open, so that he could travel back in time. The time travel Goku was going to do in the Pendulum Room was not going to alter any past events, just like how his interactions with the past with Master Mutaito never happened in their reality. Therefore, it wasn't forbidden by the Gods.
A doppelganger of Goku, with silver hair, sat on a stone, constantly scanning the planet.
"He isn't here, I'll never find him."
After all, Goku neither physically came to the planet before it was destroyed, nor did he appeared in this reality.
"But, the me who is here, would find him"
He spoke, as he grinned, while touching his earring.
"Dying will send Goku back to the Pendulum Room, unharmed physically. However, he would still be affected mentally by the experience."
He had a brilliant idea. A Time Ring shined bright in one of his fingers.
"If the room cannot locate his mind, he cannot go back….."
He had taken the first step in his plan of eradicating all Gods.
"Please don't forgive me"
