"That was amazing Goku!" The battle between Goku and the Omni King's many guards would be one they'd never forget. The deities were afraid their guards would win a few times, but their Saiyan friend always managed to get the upper hand, even in the very end.

"Please stay for another round!' Zeno pleaded with the warrior.

"Yes! Please, Please, Please!" Zeni was near a pout as he ran towards Goku.

The Saiyan panted as he stood wobbly from the battleground. "Guys, I really should be getting home. I'm starving and Ellery is probably worried about me."

"Do you really have to go?" Zeno pouted.

Sighing, Goku heard his stomach begin to growl. "I would love to stay, but I'm really hungry. Unfortunately Saiyans need to eat regularly."

"Oh…" The Omni Kings were sad their friend had to leave. They didn't want this fun to end.

"Could we go with you?" Zeni asked curiously.

Eyes widening in shock, Goku rubbed the back of his head. It's probably not a good idea to bring them to Earth. But, what's the harm it could do? If it's just the four of us in my home, everything should be perfect!

"Are you sure the Grand Minister would be okay with you leaving?" The warrior was skeptical about taking them away from the Palace.

"We just want to see your home!"

"Yeah! You've seen ours tons of times!"

Looking down at the small deities, Goku couldn't help but smile. "I don't see why not. Let's take a field trip to Earth!"

"Hooray!" The Omni Kings giggled before they ran to Goku. "Do you want to go back from where you were when we took you?"

"Actually, if I could get some help we could do this really fast! You guys can sense out any energy in the Cosmos. Take my hand, and I'll get us where we need to go."

"Okay!" Zeni and Zeno each took a hold of Goku's left hand, allowing him to use his right to IT out of the game room.

The trio appeared around a group of people. Bulma, Vegeta, Ellery, Trunks, Lord Beerus, Whis, even Gohan, Pan, Videl, Goten, Chi-Chi and Jean were gathered on the Balcony of Capsule Corp.

Goku quickly stood in front of the Omni Kings, waving to the group. "Hey guys!" The warrior's veins turned to ice the moment he stepped foot on the balcony. The raw amount of anger and rage coming from his mate was palatable.

Everyone yelled, being completely taken aback by the sudden appearance.

"KAKAROT!" A Super Saiyan erupted from the crowd. Ellery was absolutely furious as she charged at her mate.

"Hey Princess!" Goku held his hands out to catch his partner if she decided to swing. "I brought company!"

"HI!" The Omni Kings stepped out from behind the Saiyan. Their presence immediately caused Lord Beerus to silently scream, running to the front of the crowd, bowing respectfully on the ground in front of Zeni and Zeno.

"Goku, is this your life partner?" Zeni asked, pointing at Ellery with a smile on their face.

"She's a Saiyan, just like you!" Zeni clapped happily.

Ellery wasn't sure what to say, let alone think of the two little blue men next to her partner. Seeing the way Lord Beerus acted out of the corner of her eye, made her think these beings were to be respected. Quickly losing her golden aura, the young woman beamed at Zeni and Zeno. "It's very nice to meet any friend of my partner's. My name's Ellery." She said, extending her hand.

This doesn't excuse your sudden disappearance, Kakarot. You've got a lot of explaining to do. I can't believe you would just leave me at Bulma's like that… Anger was simmering underneath the young woman's surface. The only person that was able to sense it was her mate, who was being shielded by two little men. His fearful expression was what Ellery wanted to see. The Saiyan woman's emotions were beginning to overflow, fueling her anger towards her partner.

Sweetheart, please understand I didn't mean to leave-

We're not having this conversation right now. The young woman's eyes were brimming with tears. I will not make a scene with family and others present. I'm too angry to even speak to you!

Zeni and Zeno gasp in excitement. The God of Destruction could be heard screaming and nearly fainting in the background. The two Omni Kings took Ellery's hand, allowing her to swing them up and down just like Goku. They were gently let down. It was Zeno that noticed the protruding stomach, causing them to gasp.

"There's another aura coming from your stomach!" Zeno exclaimed.

"Yes." Ellery held her stomach tenderly. "I am going to have Kakarot's child." The young woman excused herself, quickly stepping inside.

The group watched in curiosity as Ellery went into the home. Goku felt a chill come over his entire body. He felt terrible for causing his mate to be so angry. Wanting to go after her, the Saiyan took a step towards the door, but his hand was pulled in the other direction. This caught his attention. Looking down, he noticed Zeno holding onto him.

Zeni clapped in excitement before looking at the rest of the people in front of them. "Goku, is this your family?"

"Sure is, Zeni." Goku smiled. "Everyone, I'd like to introduce my two friends Zeni and Zeno. Together, they rule the entire cosmos. All twelve Universes Destroyer's, Kai's and Angels are under his command."

"Hello everyone!" The two wave in unison to the group. Zeni looks towards the God of Destruction and Attendant, curious as to why they were there.

"Are you two here to let everyone know the news of the tournament?" Zeno questioned.

"You should've told them when we asked." Zeni stated flatly.

"Yes, it's bad that you didn't listen to what we said."

The color drained from Lord Beerus' face. The Destroyer looked at Whis. "Well sire's, we were only waiting to tell the Earthlings because we knew they'd already want to join the Tournament. Besides, it's still only in the planning stages. We were reaching out to all other planets because this one was going to be a guarantee."

The Omni Kings seemed satisfied with the answer, nodding to the Attendant before turning to his friend. "Are all of your friends going to compete this time, Goku?"

"I know they'd love to!" Goku beamed at the little Deities. "I bet Ellery would like to join too! But we'd have to make sure the tournament is after she has the baby."

The Omni King's turn to the Saiyan woman with a hopeful look. Zeni was the first to speak. "Will you please compete in the tournament?"

"I bet you're really strong!" Zeno praised her as they smiled.

Ellery wasn't sure what to say. She looked at her partner in disbelief before returning her gaze to the Kings of Everything. "As long as I'm healed, I would love to compete in your tournament." The young woman beamed.

"Hooray!" The two cheer in unison.

"Well, Goku. This was fun. I think we should get back to the Palace." Zeni mentioned with a smile before taking Zeno's hand.

"Yes. Thank you for playing with us! We had so much fun!"

"We'll see you at the Tournament!"

Disappearing into thin air, Zeni and Zeno went in a flash of light. Everyone shielded their eyes. Once the brightness dissipated, the group was left to look at the Saiyan in front of them. Many of the beings looked displeased with him. Rubbing the back of his head, Goku took a deep breath. "So, what's everyone doing at Bulma's? Are we having a party?"

"You idiot!" Vegeta lunged at the warrior. "How could you be so dense?!"

"Hey!" Goku put his hands up to protect himself, but he wasn't able to save himself from the onslaught. "What the hell?!"

"We've been looking for hours, Goku!" Bulma had her arms crossed behind Vegeta. "You just disappeared without telling anyone where you went!"

"I didn't have a choice!" The warrior attempted to defend himself. "I was the one that was transported, without knowing I was going to be. If Zeni and Zeno want to see you, they're going to do it no matter what you're up to."

The bluenette sighed, placing a hand on her husband's back. This effectively stopped his swinging at her childhood friend. "Whether or not that's the case, you leaving without a word or way to reach you caused Ellery to panic. She's been worried sick about where you've been. Since she couldn't feel your energy, it put her into emergency mode, Goku. Whis and Lord Beerus didn't come here to tell us about some Tournament. They did so because we called them looking for you. Ellery only assumed the worst from there. She's an absolute mess."

"I… I should go talk to her." Goku's voice was nearly a whisper. He took a deep breath and looked at everyone. "Thank you for being here. I really appreciate all of the support that came out for my partner. Even my old partner is here with hers." The warrior smiled at his ex-wife.

Chi-Chi crossed her arms. "Oh please, I was only here because Gohan and Goten were worried sick. I'm used to you leaving without notice. This didn't come as a surprise to me. I just thought you'd be better for your next partner."

Eyes wide, the warrior was taken aback by her words. Goku wasn't sure if the right ones would ever come to him. "I've been trying really hard. Been there for her at every appointment, taken care of her and the baby, all while occasionally training. Everything was perfect. This thing that happened today shouldn't happen again until this Tournament's over!"

"When exactly is this Tournament, Kakarot?" Vegeta prodded.

"The Omni Kings and the Council haven't decided on a date as of yet." Whis interjected. "We had a meeting a few months ago, somewhere around the time Goku's partner found out she was pregnant. Last I knew, they were deciding the final rules. The arena is nearly built for the preliminary rounds."

While the group continued to discuss details, Goku managed to slip away into Capsule Corp. He could feel his partner's aura in the kitchen. The warrior tip toed as quietly as he could towards Ellery. Seeing the beautiful woman seated at the counter, Goku took a deep breath. He tried his best to remain calm, but all he could feel was anxiety creeping into his body.

"I'd like to think you wouldn't be anxious about talking to me." Ellery mentioned quietly from her seat.

"You were pretty mad out there." Rubbing the back of his head, Goku sat in a seat across from his partner at the counter. "You said you were too mad to speak to me. I wanted to give you space, but I also really need to explain myself."

"You're right, Kakarot. Please explain why today of all days you decided to leave for hours without telling me." The young woman's eyes rolled. The frustration was seeping from her pores.

Sighing, the warrior took Ellery's hand in his own. "I was transported against my will. Not that it's an excuse for how long I was gone, but I just want to start by saying that." Goku began, pulling a blue and purple button out of his gi pocket. "Some time ago, Zeni and Zeno gave me this button so I could play with them when I wanted. When they've summoned me before, it's been through the Grand Minister and Whis. It'd take some time to get there and I always had a warning. It wasn't until today I realized they also have a similar button that does the same to me. When I was transported, I couldn't feel your energy anymore, so I knew I wouldn't be able to reach you."

"What is it they wanted you for?" The Saiyan woman's brow perked up.

Rubbing the back of his head, Goku took a deep breath. "They wanted me to battle their guards. They were bored before the tournament. I told them I was at an appointment with you, but they kind of brushed it off. They begged me to stay and fight for one round. I agreed since I didn't think it'd take that long. Before I knew what happened, hours had passed and I wasn't making any ground on the battle."

Inhaling slowly, Ellery closed her eyes. She rubbed her stomach as he felt the baby squirming around. "Do you know how worried I was?"

The warrior was taken aback by her question. "I-"

Before Goku could say anymore, his partner grabbed the warrior's hand. Suddenly, he was transported into Ellery's mind. There he watched the entire scene play out in front of him. It began from the moment the young woman realized Goku was missing. Bulma called Whis, the duo called every friend and family member possible in the search for the Saiyan. and the devastation Goku's mate felt when she didn't know where else to look.

Eyes wide as he came back to reality, Goku stood quickly from his chair. He walked around the table, kneeling in front of his partner and child. The Saiyan looked Ellery in the eye, his own glistening with moisture. "I never wanted you to worry about me. The stress isn't good for our little one here." The warrior kissed her stomach before continuing. "The moment I know I'm going to be pulled away, I'm taking you with me. Unfortunately with Zeni and Zeno, I don't get an invitation or a warning anymore."

"You could just be pulled out of thin air without notice?" The Saiyan woman was skeptical.

"With the Tournament being planned, I don't think it'll happen for a long time. But, with Zeni and Zeno, there aren't any guarantees." Looking down at his partner's abdomen, Goku began to stroke her stomach once again. "Keeping you and our baby safe is my number one priority. If that means I have to disappear for a few hours, I don't think it's a bad trade."

"You're missing the most important part of this, Kakarot." His partner pointed out blunty.

"Of all people on this earth, you know I'm the most understanding person here. The only thing I don't tolerate is you disappearing without warning. You could be gone for an entire year and I wouldn't worry because you told me about the trip. If you leave without notice, I can't guarantee something bad didn't happen to you.``

"I know you weren't in any danger this time. But, up until you came home, I didn't know if you'd gone to save the world or if a villain had managed to snatch you when you're most vulnerable. I've been hearing enough stories over these last three years that I know someone could come take you from us at any time. More than likely, you'd come back." Voice cracking, Ellery used her hands to wipe the beads of moisture leaving her eyes. "However, there's always that possibility you might not come back."

The warrior could hear the tremors in his partner's voice. His own heart wretched at the feeling that he let Ellery down. Looking up at his mate, Goku saw the tears falling down her face. The Saiyan reached up and wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumb. "I will always find my way back to you. It took almost fifty years of my life to find the Saiyan of my dreams. I'm not going to let you go that easily."

Goku leaned up, getting off his knees to plant his lips on Ellery's. Hands caressed up the young woman's body to her cheeks, stroking them softly. Once he pulled away, Goku smiled brightly. "Nothing will take me away from you, Princess."

The Saiyan woman pressed her forehead against her partner's. Closing her eyes, she slowly began to nuzzle Goku's nose. "So those two rule the entire Cosmos? They look like children." Ellery smiled softly.

"Sometimes I wonder if they are." Goku chuckled, pulling the young woman off her chair. "Their powers aren't something to be messed with! I've seen them in action a time or two."

The sound of stomachs rumbling caused Goku and Ellery to jump. The young woman laughed as she placed her hand on her partner's chest. "Sounds like someone needs to eat."

"More than one person." The warrior pointed out as he rubbed his mate's abdomen. "Let's go home, I'll cook dinner."

Ellery nodded to her partner, kissing his cheek. "Sounds-

"Hey Dad!" Goten yelled from the outside door, startling the two in the kitchen. "Bulma's got a feast out here! Come and eat!"
