Chapter 17 Seeds of Evil Planted

In the Super/Main Universe

The group had just finished celebrating after the IW universe visitors came up with the plan to revive GD Goten's long lost universe and undo the damage he caused in the universe he'd been living in. IW Goten and Shadow closed the portal and then they and the group made their way inside to work out the finer details of the plan and what else they should do. Unbeknownst to them, a strange figure was watching them from the top of the Capsule Corp building and had heard everything though he didn't receive the visions of their pasts. The being had a light blue head shaped like an infant still developing in a womb , eyes all dark blue with no pupils, human like teeth, a gold ish vest with a dark blue jumpsuit with red lines randomly dotted around and gold ish boots. It was Baby and he grinned sinisterly. "So I've been beamed into an alternate reality?" Baby said with intrigue before continuing, "and there are powerful tools in which to move between realities in this one? How fortitudinous! With that ring and those emeralds I can not only have my revenge against the wrenched Saiyans in my universe but across the entire multiverse!". Baby's gloating rant stopped once he realized the one critical flaw in his plan. "Hmm the ring and emeralds are being heavily guarded by all of them, if I charge in to grab them now I'll most certainly fail. In this state I'm no match for all of them. So I'll need to take host of someone they trust and swipe them when the opportunity arises" Baby schemed. He had been beamed to the Super universe in the moments before Super Saiyan four GT Goku's Kamehameha had originally killed him when he tried to flee planet tuffle. He had been separated from his main host GT Vegeta moments prior and was now much weaker than before. Just then Dr Briefs, Bulma's father came out of the front Capsule Corp entrance to pick up the mail. "He he perfect" Baby giggled evilly as he contorted into a gel like state, jumped from the top of the building. He landed on to Mr Briefs and after a brief struggle got into the poor old man's body through his mouth and almost instantly gained control of the old scientist's mind. "Now then let's see if my sweet daughter and her friends need some help he he he!" Baby controlled Dr Brief said mockingly as he walked back in to find the group and his prize.

In the GD Universe

Future Trunks and Mai had been locked in a kiss for a good two or three minutes, happy to be alive and together again and ready to start a new chapter in their lives. The enthusiastic mood was blown away however when an explosion went off somewhere in the city sending all the recently revived populace to scream and run in terror. "No! Not him again!" Future Trunks said stuttering with fear holding Mai tighter assuming it to be Phoenix/Goku Black again. Out of the smoke however came a demon that Future Trunks was indeed familiar with but was never expecting to see again. "Frieza!?" Future Trunks exclaimed in utter disbelief and shock as the infamous lizard like former emperor of the universe came into view in the sky. "Ho ho ho well if it isn't the mystery super saiyan that cut me to pieces so long ago" Frieza said in a polite joking matter though there was a hint of anger behind it. "H-how are you here?!" Future Trunks asked in a mix of rage and confusion. "You tell me! One minute I'm on my mothership reestablishing my dominance over the universe, the next I'm back at this backwater planet! Where's Goku!? I'll bet you two filthy monkeys are behind this somehow!" Frieza demanded in frustration. "He's dead! Has been for years! And soon you're gonna be! I will not let you destroy his world just after it came back!" Future Trunks yelled out letting go of Mai, pulling out his sword getting into a battle stance. Future Mai pulled out her gun ready to fight alongside her boyfriend. "You wanna play games?, fine ahhh!" Frieza screamed as his body flashed in a gold light and when it faded he was in his golden form. "What!?" Future Trunks and Mai shouted shocked. "Let's play games, shall we" Frieza said with an evil grin as he put out two fingers and shot a death beam at the duo.

In the IW Universe

Somewhere on a dimly lit red room, a humanoid cockroach like creature popped into existence in a brilliant yellow electrical flash. It was Cell, wounded, but alive, with a groan the creature regenerated its damaged flesh oozing green slime. "What the?! Where am I?! Son Goten where are you!?" Cell screamed out flustered and angry. He was brought from the moment before Krillin and MC Goten's student master Kamehameha could finished him in his original death in the MC universe. "Stop hiding and fight me so that I may prove my perfection to you and the entire universe!" Cell bellowed out in fury. Suddenly a blaze of fire shot out from an unknown source. "Ahhh!" Cell screamed in pain as the surprisingly powerful flames burned and singed his body. "Perfection? Ha! You think yourself perfect with that ugly figure of yours?!" Shouted a woman's voice insulting the bug man. Out of the darkness of the room emerged what appeared to be a young human woman, mid to late teens with lipsticked lips, combed up hair with a flame shaped crown, black and red armor with brown boots. Cell picked himself up and stared daggers at the girl who dared assault him. "Young lady, you would be wise to bite your tongue, for you stand in the presence of the perfect bein- agh!" Cell's resort was cut short when he was suddenly lifted up by an unknown force and his body was encased in a red energy cube. "The perfect being?" If there is such a thing it's not you! Ha ha ha!" Said a strange echoey voice. Glowing red floating into view was a very peculiar looking creature. It was a humanoid jackal with white quills that stood up and pointed at the tops, had spiky black and grey boots, had black fur on its body with a white puff in the middle like shadow but smaller and his face covered up by a white and black mask that covered his mouth and one of his eyes, the uncovered one was blood red with a yellow irise. "What is this?! Who are you?! What's going on?!" Cell asked frantically extremely confused and a little scared even. "That's enough!" Shouted yet another voice, this one sounding dead serious and rough. The three turned around to see another human but this one had an orange metal face mask with only one eye hole and four vent like holes for his mouth, wore big black military style boots and a black spandex suit with a grey metal belt that held a mini arsenal of guns, grenades and swords in a sash on his back. "Infinite! Azula! Take this creature to Master Shredder, he looks useful for our cause" the mask man said with authority. "As you command Deathstroke" The jackal now known as infinite nodded in affirmation. "Whatever you say Slade" The woman now known as Azula replied slyly. "I told you to refer to me as Deathstroke" The man now known as Deathstroke/Slade said annoyed by Azula's usage of his old nickname. "Aww but Slade flows so much better, plus you don't stroke enemies to their death like you used to" Azula teased. Deathstroke just glared before turning him and his two fellow commanders marching their way to their master with Cell floating in the cube trapped being brought along.

In the MC Universe

In an old abandoned house in the middle of the night in a suburban neighborhood, a homeless man around his mid twenties was sleeping on the floor. Then there was a loud noise and an electrical yellow flash of light in the room next to where the man was sleeping startling him awake. "Huh! Wha! What was that!? Anybody here?!" The man yelled in panic and confusion. The guy received no response not being able to see the source of the commotion. Then he began to hear slow footsteps. They were very consistent and methodical as if the person or thing that was making them was or was acting like a robot. "Who's there!?" The man shouted again becoming nervous. Eventually to the man's surprise what emerged from the hallway was a child, maybe early teens with very spiky hair, wearing a black coat and pants with boots. He was turned around facing the other wall away from the man. "Oh hey kid, what are you doing here?" The man asked turning friendly not wanting to scare the child. "You know you really shouldn't be out this late and wandering into old buildings like this, where are your parents?" The man asked playfully. The child however didn't respond, he just kept staring out in the opposite direction slowly turning his head. "Hey kid, are you alright? Can you hear me?" The man asked getting concerned. The child finally slowly turned around to face the man, staring at him with dead eyes and a blank expression on his face. The man felt a big chill run down his spine. It clearly was a child, but it's black, dark dead eyes bore into his soul, looking right through him and making him feel an overwhelming sense of fear. It was IW Goten's twin brother Xavier. After staring at the homeless man for half a minute, he started robotically walking towards the man until he was right against him, face never waning. "Kid?" The man said quietly very anxious unsure what to do, his fear clouding his mind. Then with a sudden jolt, Xavier kicked the man's legs, severing his feet and the lower half of his legs off. "Ahhh owww!" The man screeched in agony as he tumbled onto the floor, his legs gushing out blood. Xavier looked down at his victim his blank expression never faltering. He then turned around to see a kitchen knife on an old desk. He walked over to it and picked it up while the man whimpered and cried in pain. Xavier walked back to the poor man and grabbed him by his throat and making him sit up until the man was facing him centimeters away from his face. He then stabbed the man with the knife twenty times across his chest and back, puncturing his heart two or three times, leaving the man wheezing and coughing up blood struggling to breathe. "Gak! Ughhh.. why?" The man managed to wheeze out of his blood filled mouth while being choked, looking at Xavier with watery eyes, silently asking the reason for all this. Xavier's expression remained blank and emotionless tilting his head in seeming childlike confusion, silently giving the man his answer, no reason at all. Then Xavier tightened his grip on the man's throat, snapping his neck, killing him. Afterwards Xavier tore off the head of his victim's corpse gutting it out but leaving its shape. He then squeezed out any blood within the skin until it was dry and pale white. Finally with some string in the house he sowed the mouth flap and lips shut. Xavier made himself a mask and put it on, now looking like the man he killed, only hollowed out, no eyes just empty black holes and stripped of any sign of life and humanity except for the shape with a bland expression. Now wearing the mask, Xavier slowly and methodically walked out of the house, bloodied knife in hand and starting wandering the neighborhood searching for his next target.

In the GT Universe

A huge parade at Capsule Corp was in progress. The world had done a great deal of healing since being ravaged by the Shadow Dragons. It was hard without the dragon balls to instantly fix all the damage, but with great determination and persistence, society was able to resume a sense of normalcy. The leaders of this reconstruction were attending as the guests of honor, Bulma, Vegeta, Gohan, uub and Pan. Their family and friends were all attending the parade as well for support. They seem to be waiting for somebody, two somebodies and they were getting impatient. "Has anyone seen Trunks or Uncle Goten?" Pan asked anxiously. "No! I can't find those two anywhere!" Vegeta answered angrily, "I'm certain Trunks is sitting at damn desk signing papers and Goten is off with another pea brained earth woman!". "Calm down Vegeta, I'm sure they'll be here any minute now" Gohan reasoned, "Pan sweetie are you ready to make your speech?". "Yeah I'm ready!" Pan replied enthusiastically. "Welcome everyone to the World Rebirth Parade!" Bulma announced on the stage in front of a huge crowd that swallowed the yard and the streets, "now like I present the leader of this movement! Pan!". Pan walked out onto the stage with confidence, Gohan and Vegeta following and staying a little behind her. "Hello everyone!" Pan greeted the crowd happily, "now before I start discussing our future plans, I would just like to say- huh?". Pan stopped when she looked at the sky and it suddenly went from sunny with no clouds to being shrouded in pitch black clouds with a vortex forming in the middle. The entire crowd as well as the Z fighters and their families looked on in bewilderment and anxious, the presence and ki they were sensing immense and very otherworldly sinister. "What is that?!" Bulla screamed in fright, her being able to sense ki but not much experience in combat or even defense. Out of the clouds, a set of glowing red eyes and a toothy smile briefly popped up letting out a satanic laugh before disappearing and the vortex shot down, started glowing yellow and lit with flames speeding to the surface. "Look out!" Gohan and Vegeta screamed in terror. They along with Pan and the other Z fighters shielded themselves, their families and any other civilians they could as the fiery vortex blast hit. However the power of the blast was far stronger then any of them either were or anticipated and they were all overwhelmed. The blast caused a huge explosion, destroying all of West City. An indiscernible time later, Pan regained consciousness, she coughed with smoke getting in her mouth. "Hello?! Everyone ok?!" Pan yelled out, looking around the charred remains of the city. She looked behind her to see her family and friends unconscious but alive with minimal burns and scrapes. She looked in front of her and was horrified to find at least half of the crowd from before now ghost like charred corpses, their last moments of life in terror frozen in place. Pan was shaking in horror and fear, welling up in tears. "W-why...?" Pan stuttered in a devastated tone. Some smoke cleared and Pan looked up to see a dark figure floating down, laughing sinisterly with the same satanic voice from before. Touching down to the ground, the figure's features becoming visible, purple suit, black shoes, slicked down greenish hair that curved upwards on the right and left side of the top, snow white skin and the same glowing red eyes and toothy insane smile from before. Stopping halfway toward Pan , the demon stopped, stomped on one of the charred heads turning it into ash and it flew up as the figure spoke in a singing like tone, "Dust in the wind, all you are is dust in the wind! Ha ha ha aha ha ha!". Evil Goten/Phoenix had made his grand return.
