Alrighty, this is very awkward for me but as a reader myself I shall get on with it. I am very new to this, and writing in general so I ask for some patience as several problems with my ability will be slowly ironed out.

Moving on to this story (ya know, the content?) There are some big incongruities with well known canon as this is smack in the middle of a very long narrative that may or may not be posted.. idk but I will go ahead, and explain some things

Gohan ended up with Lime. Don't ask me how it happened I don't have an answer but the result is Lemon in the place of Pan.. it seemed appropriate. Moro was defeated ultimately by Vegeta in a very different fight than canon, and Granolah does not exist. Nobody took his place rather Universe 10 (that's right) enjoyed peace up till the very end of the ten years past Z. In this continuity universes 6, 7, and 10 are basically duplicate universes with minor differences. Universe 10 obviously housing the Z Gang.

Also no DB Super: Broly.. nonnadat stuff.

Gohan pursued a form of power pretty unique to this story. Goten trained with Goku, and got mondo strong, and Gohan continued training.

Now that was a lot but wait there's more! Some terminology got shifted.. big time

You probably should pay attention here otherwise you'll just have to reference it as you get irritated at my seemingly arbitrary changes (they're not but that's not important.)

Here goes:

God Ki/Divine Energy = Super Ki (Dragon Ball Super.. Super Saiyan come'on) or Champion Ki

Super Saiyan God = Saiyan Champion (Think of this form as an elevated, additional base form)

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan = Super Saiyan Champion
Demon = Dark Kai

God of Destruction = Champion of Destruction

Angel = Reah (Angel actually means messenger in Hebrew so attendant (Reah) seems fitting for these guys that really.. don't deliver messages on the part of the gods.) Plus I like it better.

That's all for this authors note.. next one won't be as long

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball, DBZ, DBGT or DBS. Basically if you can find a wiki page for it then it's not mine. Really.. get serious guys come on.

Four Years Post Tournament of Power

Goku's Home

Chi-Chi watched as Goten tossed Lemon back, and forth across the couch; appearing on each side to catch her just in time. Goku made a different funny face at her from his spot at the table every time she spun around in the air, eliciting a constant stream of giggles from the young saiyan. She worried slightly but they were having such a good time so she went back to preparing lunch. She just had a couple more things that needed to finish.

"Goku dear, would you like the chicken spicy or savory?" Chi-Chi inquired quietly. Goku oriented himself to face her from his seat as he thought hard about the question.

"I guess.. spicy today." He answered after much consideration.

"That sounds awesome!" Goten agreed as he caught Lemon, and prepared to toss her again.

Chi-Chi reached to grab the chicken with the spicy marinade out of the fridge, and Goku went back to playing with Lemon. "I wish he wouldn't wear his fighting clothes when he isn't supposed to train today." She thought, quietly annoyed at her husbands habitual choice of wear.

"At least he isn't wearing that turtle gi," Chi-Chi reasoned; she was grateful for that much, "I wonder what made him change to blue on green?" She took a quick glance at her husband's gi pants, "Maybe blue on blue-green?"

She heard something hit the ground, and turned around prepared to scold the culprit but stopped at the sight of Goku standing stiff as a board, with a serious expression. A glance at the chair on the floor behind him told her what caused the noise.

After noticing his father's energy rising Goten caught Lemon, and turned to his father with a look of concern. Chi-Chi opened her mouth to say something but Goku looked sharply at her, and put a finger to his mouth.
She nodded in understanding, and they stood in silence; the only sounds being the spattering of hot oil, and their breathing.

Absently Chi-Chi noticed the birds were no longer chirping, and the world outside had grown quiet. Suddenly Lemon started trying to climb out of Gotens arms as he tried calming her to no avail. Goku's eyes shot to the door, and he quickly turned to face it. His wife saw that her husbands fists were tightly clenched at his sides, and realized with dread that she could no longer sense him; his presence replaced with quickly growing pressure.

Chi-Chi looked and, could tell that Goten noticed whatever Goku had. Expanding her senses she quickly found an ominous approaching pressure not too far from the house; realizing that's what Goku sensed she couldn't help but think about how terrifying the sensation must be.

Lemon finally broke out of her uncle's arms, startling Chi-Chi out of her thoughts as the frightened girl rushed over to hide behind Goku's right leg; said saiyan gestured to his wife to grab her. Chi-Chi quickly came over, grabbed Lemon, and rushed to her and Goku's bedroom to hide but before she got there two knocks at the front door stopped her. Goku points at Goten who quickly rushes to his mother's side and they go in together with him hiding his power.

Goku with his eyes peeled at the door; racked his brain running through possibilities at who the enormous power could be. As he quietly raises his power level; careful not to damage the room. His hair quietly floats up before flashing from black into a brilliant gold as his pupils shift to an emerald green.

They hear another two knocks at the door, shortly followed by the sound of it opening; followed by a huge crash as the house shakes around them. Several seconds pass as Chi-Chi holds Lemon close to her and watches the door with baited breath. Goten gets up, and slowly moves towards the door before a hand busts through it, and unlocks it then slowly turns the doorknob; opening it.

As the door begins to swing open; Goten's form flashes white as he immediately maxes out his power causing his clothes to blow wildly as if he stepped into a storm. The half-saiyan then bursts through the door shoving the intruder back almost to the couch. The intruder slowly raises his head up, and looks at Goten in amusement as the half-saiyan's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Dad!?" Goten questions, baffled before noticing the goku look-a-like's armor. "Pitch black armor, all the way up to his neck.. pitch black eyes?" he assumed his father's stance "No, who are you!?" Goten demanded with fury as he took up his father's stance.

The imposter frowns, and looks past him to a terrified Chi-Chi and Lemon. He yanks his legs out of the trenches they carved in the floor, and begins walking calmly forward. Goten's eyes narrow before he dashes toward the confusing saiyan who simply steps around him, and continues his stride towards the bedroom. Goten stretched his right arm out behind him as he shot past, and a string of energy flew out from his hand to wrap around the imposter's neck..

Goten then yanks on the string, causing the saiyan to lurch backwards before Goten grabbed the string with his other hand, and pulls with all his strength. Finally his foe is pulled off his feet, and thrown backwards; crashing through the walls of the house.

He watches his foe go flying past him; leaving a gaping hole in their house. He then looks apologetically back towards his mother before dashing through the hole in pursuit, and seeing the intruder fly up; jumps up to meet him.

The half saiyan flips, and shoots towards his opponent with a straight kick that the attacker sidesteps then grabs. Goten smirks then curls in his leg, pulling him toward his opponent, and kicks his other leg at the intruder's arm; breaking the hold. He then flips backwards out of reach, and is about dash forward only to get clothes-lined, and slung to the ground.

Goten rolls back to right himself as he rockets to the earth, and lands on his feet. He then ignites his aura before charging back up straight at his foe. The intruder grins wide before dashing forward to meet him in the middle. As he approaches the half-saiyan he rears his right fist back, and throws it forward. Goten throws a punch to match his foe but the goku look-a-like slides his fist along Goten's arm, and grabs his neck. He then lands two rapid knee kicks to the boy's stomach; stunning him.

The imposter lifts Goten up with his neck in a vice grip then throws the boy forward, and lets out a volley of blasts. They pummel the half-saiyan into the ground as the explosions bury him in a miniature landslide.

"I can't believe this guy, Dad.. come on." Goten muttered to himself as he dragged himself out of the earth.

He looked down at his ruined outfit in annoyance, and could only hope at least someone sensed what was going on.

"You're going to have to try a little harder than that, Goten." He suddenly hears his father's voice say. The half saiyan freezes from picking himself up, and slowly looks up in shock to the intimidating, and rare visage of his father's face staring sternly down at him. He suddenly remembers that guy that stole his father's body before, and wonders if that's who he was fighting.

Goten's face shifts to rage, and exclaims "You'd better be careful what you ask for!" as he stands up his hair spikes up, save for three bangs, and flashes a brilliant gold before a golden aura erupts around him. The outburst of power shaking the area around them. Blue lightning sparks around his form, and his hair glows again before settling on golden blonde.

The air seems to get sucked into his aura then with an explosion of force his power skyrockets nearly uprooting the trees around them as three locks settle to the left over his face.

He glares up at the imposter, and screams "BECAUSE YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!"

The goku look-a-like only stares down in amusement at the display of power then glances to his left, and whips his arm out backhanding Goten away just as he appears next to him. He then looks down at the fading afterimage of him powering up.

"You must take me for some kind of amateur." The saiyan mocks arrogantly, as he turns to look at Goten.

Goten rubs his bloodied nose then floats back up to the saiyan. "Not exactly. Where's the fun in pulling everything out at once?" He snarkily responds with a slightly nasally voice. Then two bangs float up leaving one behind, that angles slightly left; lightning erupts around his aura more fiercely, and his power soars even higher as the light obscures him completely. The armored saiyan's hair is blown back, and he grins wide as he braces himself against the torrent. With a bright flash there's an explosion of power then Goten disappears on the spot.

The intruder grunts in surprise then ducks his head forward just as Goten reappears with a sweeping kick. He then tries to grab Goten's other leg with his right hand but the super saiyan three rolls in the air, grabs his arm, and uses it to vault over him. He then quickly charges a blast in his right hand, twists around, and throws it back down at him. The armored saiyan turns around, and slaps it away before charging up at the retreating teenager with a right hook.

Goten manages to catch his fist with his right hand, and responds with a punch to the imposter's chest but he catches it. The goku smirks before lurching forward curling his, and Goten's right arms, and elbowing Goten in the jaw. The impact dazes the teenager causing him to let go.

He then spins in place, and roundhouse kicks Goten's side; launching him away. The imposter then grabs his arm before he can go anywhere, and yanks him into another kick from the same leg; doubling him over his leg. The imposter then kicks his leg up; tossing the breathless half-saiyan into the air before shooting past him, and slamming him with a haymaker that sends him rocketing to the earth.

As Goten crashes into the ground; the impact forming a crater, and shaking the house. Chi-Chi keeps her hand over Lemon's mouth, and tears fall down her face as she senses Goten's energy take a sharp dive.

"You can't be serious!" the goku look-a-like yells down at him mockingly, "You were so strong when I first met you! What have you been doing this whole time?" He shakes his head in disappointment before he stretches his arm down at him, and energy enough to kill gathers in his hand.

He opens his hand to fire at the unconscious half-saiyan but is interrupted by a Destructo Disk shattering against his neck. Unaffected he inclines his head to his attacker with a smirk."There you are! I was wondering when you would wake up." He exclaimed eagerly.

Goku stares at the ineffective attack before he smirks, and replies "You know me."

The other saiyan lets out a laugh. "We do, don't we."

Goku quirked an eyebrow at that. "We?" he questioned confused.

"Oh don't worry about that, Goku." The look-a-like reassures with an air of condescension while he dissipates his attack before a black aura erupts around him as he powers up. "I am one but he is with me." He then smirks at Goku before charging at the super saiyan.

Goku widens his eyes before flashing into super saiyan blue, and crossing his arms to block just as the other slams a knee into them. The impact sending Goku hurtling backwards through the air; eliciting a grunt of pain. The earthling saiyan stopped himself above his house; threw his arms to the side, and dashed forward with a roar just as the other did the same.

They met in the middle; hands clasped together, they grunted, and their arms shook with exertion as they struggled to overpower one another. After about a minute of this the other moved his arms; twisting Goku in the air. He then swung his leg out, kicking Goku in the side, and letting go with his left hand. As he held on with his right he charged a blast in his left hand but Goku straightened out, and fired a Foot-Kamehameha shooting himself forward to deliver a Super Champion Fist to Other's face

The impact making him to let go of his blast causing it to fly into the distance where it exploded darkening the horizon.

In the distance two figures in different places both felt the tremors from their homes as they quickly put on their armor, and gi respectively.

With his foe still dazed from the attack Goku began pummeling him with kicks, and punches all while still holding on to him. Finally the blue clad saiyan yanked him into an upper cut, let go, spun around, and kicked him away. He then cupped his hands at his side; silently charged a Kamehameha, and fired it.

As the wave carried the other deep into the mountains. Goku looked over to where Chi-Chi was inspecting Goten. "Take them, and head to Bulma's quickly, Chi-Chi!" He yelled down at them.

Chi-Chi nodded up at him then picked up her son, and granddaughter, and loaded them into the hover car. She then shot into the air towards West City.

Goku watched them with a go sober expression then turned, and instant transmissioned over to his doppelganger. Teleporting in next to him, he wasn't surprised to see the Other standing calmly waiting for him. However he was surprised at the pensive look on his face.

"You got somethin' on your mind?" Goku asked cautiously as he stood prepared for the other saiyan to lash out.

His doppelganger glanced over at him briefly before looking back to where he could sense Chi-Chi, and Goten. "I.. missed them, I suppose." he responded despondently.

The Other growled, and his pupils flashed purple as he clenched his fists, and black fire erupted out of his chest; covering him as his power soared. "When I'm through with you, I want you to know they're next! Goku!" He screamed out as his aura exploded out from him, covered in black fire; the display dimming the very air around them.

Said saiyan braced himself as he struggled to withstand the storm he was suddenly found himself in. As limbs, rocks, and dust blew around him; his aura receded into himself as he assumed the mastered blue form in an attempt to withstand the Other's energy output.

Finally his doppelganger looks back over to him before disappearing on the spot. Goku's eyes widen, and he quickly tries to sense him in the storm of debris around him. Finally he ducks under a kick from behind, and turns around to retaliate but has to retreat as the Other continues spinning with the kick. He then drops it, lands, and dashes toward Goku with his right fist reared back.

Goku spins around him kicking at his back as he goes but he rolls forward under Goku's leg. The black-clad saiyan front-vaults before spinning around in the air, and planting his feet then launching back at Goku. He throws his right fist at Goku again but the blue-clad saiyan sidesteps before grabbing his other self's arm with both arms, and using his momentum to flip him over.

The Other grins in the air then faster than Goku could react, he yanks Goku into the air over him with his arm, and lands slamming the stunned saiyan into the ground. He then ripped his arm out of Goku's grip, charged a blast, and fired but Goku used a finger less Instant Transmission to teleport behind him before dashing backwards into the surrounding greater energy storm.

The Other calmly turned around, and stared directly at Goku's spot in the storm. He then flared his energy, and sensed Goku raise his power to the max just to stand in place amidst the torrent. Finally the saiyan was forced to jump back out of the hurricane of dark energy back to where he could withstand the forces of his opponent's power.

He looked over to the Other, and grew irritated at the satisfied smirk on his face. "You're not Goku Black, are you?" He asked with an edge to his voice.

The Other simply stared smugly back in response; looking as if he already won. Goku quickly grew irritated "Well? Who are you then!?" He asked angrily.

The Other closed his eyes briefly before opening them. Goku tensed at the sight of the saiyan's irises glowing purple, and that same light flickering in his scleras like a flame lighting them up as if the night sky. When he opened his mouth to respond a deeper, and more ominous voice answered out of him. "He is simply a vessel, a tool with which to kill you, and everyone you love." With every word, the air around the pair seemed to lose it's color as Goku stared in shock, and fear at the sudden oppressive presence.

"However..." He continued, "..he is Goku, though my.. own kind. I suppose.." enjoying the expression of fearful awe in the other saiyan's face; he savored the sight for several seconds before finishing, "..Dreg Goku."

Can you say cut? Wow, I'm glad to get this off my chest. Criticism is welcome as well as any questions I'll see what I can answer on that. And if it makes you angry, and you hate it.. well my best advice is don't read anymore but if you gotta get it off your chest I guess I can understand that. But if ya like it you know what to do so please do. (I don't cause I'm new here.)

I do have power levels for these peeps if you're interested so write in a review so I can post them at the bottom of chapters.

Some of you might also wonder if this is based on the manga or not. It's a hodgepodge basically I think the manga is more consistent, and frankly better with power scaling so that's drawn on more for that. The anime has some showings here too though.

I will certainly try to finish this, I actually have more written so it shouldn't take too long to get more out.

Anyway until next time, stay safe, and ya know, take care of yourselves.
