Chapter 3 History Exchanges Begin

"Beerus! What are you doing here!?" Bulma exclaimed surprised by his arrival. "You really think we wouldn't sense a significant disturbance in the fabric of space and time?" Whis said with his usual calm, wistful voice, "you don't give us enough credit". "Or respect!" Beerus yelled, "haven't I warned you people a hundred times to stop messing with time! The consequences of this cosmic crime intensify exponentially every time you commit it!" "Look Beerus my lord!" Vegeta ran up nervously, "my wife only intended to take a peek into other realities without actually going to them or bringing beings from the other realities here, this was an accident!" he explained trying to prevent Beerus from blowing his top. Beerus looked at Vegeta accusingly, "oh then explain to me how and why this infernal contraption malfunctioned and zapped these pests here!" Beerus screamed pointing at the group of other dimension visitors. "Hey we're right here you know" jet haired adult goten said annoyed. "Yeah I'm with you what's this puss's problem", muscular teen goten said with a scowl. "What did you just call me you brat!" Beerus roared in anger looking daggers at the boy who dared to insult him. "You heard me" the boy replied with a smirk. Beerus was fuming and was about to teach the little loud mouth a lesson until a little voice got his attention. "Wait a minute" the little goten said sitting up on the ground where he was knocked down looking at Beerus with a confused and sad look on his face, "so this isn't my home? Or my family?" he asked with an increasingly distraught tone in his voice. Beerus surprised and confused looked at the boy "uh no couldn't you tell by the fact that there's another you along with them?" Beerus answered pointing towards the Z warriors. Little Goten looked at the group and spotted his slightly older looking counterpart, him and the rest of the group looking back at him with looks of confusion, worry and even fear due to his actions a few minutes prior. He then lowered his head down looking at the floor, tears reforming in his eyes. "I should've known it was too good to be true" he cried sniffling curling up into a ball and whimpering. Everyone looked at him worryingly knowing something was terribly wrong. Then something within the muscular krillin's head clicked and he looked at the Z warriors. "Woah hold on a second!" he exclaimed getting everyone's attention, "Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks! It's so good to see you all, I missed you guys!". "Wait!?" teen muscular goten said shocked, "that's my Dad, brother, Vegeta and his son?! I thought they were killed along with Tien, Piccolo and Yamcha by Cell before I was born?!". "We died?!" almost all the z warriors all shouted in shock. "Pretty sure the purple cat and my father, err that version of my father just said this is an alternate universe, so it's history is different from yours and for all seven of us" adult trunks explained. "Wow cool!" teen muscular goten said with enthusiasm before turning to his adult jet haired counterpart, "ok first tell me why your hair looks like that?". "Well the ladies always tell me it looks good this way" adult goten said with pride. "Ok..." teen muscular goten said with bewilderment, "but I'm sure you are very strong and know lots of cool moves right? Show me!" "Um actually I don't fight much anymore and really haven't since I was little" adult goten said rubbing the back of his head nervously. "You what!" both teen muscular goten and main teen goten screamed in shock. "Sorry to disappoint you guys but I lost interest in fighting and eventually started dating girls, excuse me if trying to find love and good times is more appealing to me than sweating my butt off training or getting beaten to or near death by super maniacs", adult goten said calmly. "That's half the fun!" teen muscular goten retorted. "Ha ha ha!" muscular Krillin laughed, "so in one universe goten is basically a stronger version of Yamcha! Oh man I'm gonna be busting my sides about that till we get back home!". "This is unbelievable!" teen muscular goten yelled throwing his arms into the air with exaggerated gusto, "I can't believe one of my selves is such a wet blanket and a wimp, why the hell would you let yourself go?!". "Well my dad was always there to fix the problem, even after he got turned back into a kid, he did leave along with Shenron a year ago after dealing with Shadow Dragons but since then my brother, Vegeta and my niece Pan have stepped up so I don't really feel like it's necessary to get my hands dirty, I can't make out with a chick then!" adult goten explained matter of factly. "Do you hear yourse- wait back up how did your dad turn back into a kid?" teen muscular goten asked very flabbergasted. "Enough!" scarred goten yelled in a fury nearly making everyone deaf, "I don't give two shits about your worthless problems of finding a woman to fuck or god damn wrestling matches with dicks, we need to get back to our reality, so how about you assholes stop wasting our time and send us back now!" scarred goten screeched with such intensity and profanity even Vegeta and Piccolo were taken aback. Kid Trunks was beside himself having witnessed two versions of his normally way too nice and passive friend get so violently angry, making him kinda nervous to get on his goten's nerves again. Main goten was suffering a whirlwind of feelings though he didn't show it. One of his alternate selves sounded like a loser, two of them had serious anger issues with one of them having some serious beef with his dad. The only saving grace was the muscular one that sounded like he defeated cell and was the big hero in his universe, it gave him hope. Bulma after getting over her own shock composed herself and prepared to explain. "Well the Timeline Window was going to search for other timelines based on specific orders and conditions made on the control center, once said inputs were made it would search the plains of existence for universes matching whatever inputs were made", Bulma explained, "based on what I've seen when our goten smashed into it causing it to overload and electrocute him its processor somehow made his being the input and rather than simply show us different versions of him on the screen it brought some of his alternate selves into our universe". "That still doesn't quite explain why we're here" muscular Krillin said confused referring to himself, adult Trunks and Shadow. "That is odd", bulma pondered before a lightning bulb went off in here head, "wait a minute goten were you thinking of trunks when you broke into the device?" she asked. "Yeah" main goten answered nervously, "I started questioning why he was my best friend because he made me mad and that's what made me break your machine, sorry" he apologized lowering his head in shame. "Hmm perhaps the device also read goten's mind making it part of the input and thus it also brought the closest companion of each goten along with them" Bulma surmised. Everyone was pleased to have an explanation but this raised yet another question, why didn't the little goten have anyone with him? Gohan walked to the little version of his little brother and bent down to his level trying to poke him out of his ball. "Hey squirt, don't you have any friends in your timeline?", Gohan asked with concern. Little Goten lifted his head from his ball position to reveal now extremely red face and eyes with tears still flowing freely from his baggy eyes. "No!" He screeched " I don't have anyone, my family and friends are all gone! Everyone hates me in that universe, and they should, I ruined their lives! It's not even my universe!" Everyone was flabbergasted by this statement, now they needed answers, just what the hell happened to this goten and why was he living a universe he's not native to? Goku took a few steps towards his hysterical alternate son before gently asking, "Son what happened, please tell us" he pleaded. Little Goten looked at Goku and with a mix of anger and sadness he screamed, "I'm not telling you, I don't wanna talk about it, just send me back or kill me! I don't care!". That declaration struck everyone's heart even Beerus and Whis being shocked by the outburst of refusal and request for death by the troubled child. "Well" Whis said refocusing, "I could just read your mind and share them with everyone". Everyone turned to Whis surprised, "You can do that?" goku asked incredulously. "Of course" Whis replied smugly, "I'll just pull the memories from his mind, put them in my staff and then project them into your minds" Whis explained. "Why did you just say that like it was a completely normal sentence?" teen muscular goten asked mind blown. "It pretty much is for us" Piccolo replied dryly. "I can do that for all of you just so we're not out here all day explaining each other's history, also you'll actually see it! Sounds like fun huh?" Whis said joyfully. The group have no idea of the surprises, wonders and horrors the multiverse was about to throw their way.
