Chapter 1

Everything was hurting for Black. His head, his hands, his stomach, everything. His eyes were closed tightly, and he groans in pain. He grabs his head, shaking it slightly to try and diminish the pain

He cracks an eye open, then notices he was on a beach. The ocean stretched out for miles around him, and nothing else could be seen.

Black looks around with obvious confusion etched on his face. "This… is not what I expected for a punishment"

"Because you haven't started!" Black instantly gets on his feet, looking around warily. Where did that voice come from?!

The voice giggles, then says "You can't see me silly. I am speaking telepathically."

Black looks around again in instinct, just to make sure, then straightens his posture. "Who is this?!"

The voice sighs, then says "Don't tell me you forgot your punisher already."

Black raises an eyebrow in confusion, and then it dawns on him. "C-Chronoa-sama?!"

"The one and only!" Black hears some more giggling, and he could only look around in more confusion

Chronoa coughs, then says "Alright, I came to distribute some rules of this punishment."

"First off, don't even think about using your full power. Zeno sealed it off from you in three seals."

Black's eyes widen, and he searches inside his energy pool. He keeps going down, searching for the bottom, when something stops him. He pushes hard, but can't break past this barricade.

"Told you so. Anyways, the three seals are restricting three things. Your full base power, your super saiyan forms, and then your divine ki. You'll unlock them as I see fit."

Black growls loudly, not pleased with this situation. "And what right do you have in shutting out my power, the power of a god?!"

Chronoa sighs, then says "You are just as stubborn as Goku, I tell yah. I just sent you back in time and Zeno just removed your power. Are you really in any position to fight?"

Black goes to refute, then stops. He isn't stupid, no. He was a very intelligent individual and was reasonable enough to realize when he was beat. It must be the saiyan body infecting him, making him stubborn. Yes, that was it.

Chronoa laughs suddenly, making Black get confused once again. Was everything he said a joke to this kai? "Yes, it is." Black blinks, not expecting an answer to that.

Chronoa giggles again, then says "And… you aren't exactly Goku anymore."

Black raises an eyebrow in confusion, and Chronoa can tell he needs a little more explanation. "Look at the water."

Black at this point was just too lost to argue. He walks to the water and looks down. His eyes widen immensely at what he sees.

He looked like his old self, before he took Goku's body, but some changes were present. His hair looked like Goku's super saiyan hair, but with his mohawk acting like a single bang (Think Merged Zamasu hair, but black). His skin was the same tan he had within Goku's body. His pointed ears were now rounded, but his earring was still present. His black gi was still on his body.

He looks at the water numbly, trying to comprehend the sight. He had Goku's hair… but also his own? And his face was on Goku's head. "By the gods, what is this?!"

"That is a little something I did. I transformed your body back to yourself, but still as a saiyan. I would've turned you back into a kai, but I can't bypass the Super Dragon Balls… so that was out of the question. Like it?"

Black flexes his hands slightly, getting used to the strange yet familiar body. "It's as if me and Goku fused together and I was the main component. It feels… strange, but empowering."

He looks at his face again in the water, thinking deeply. "I can't be called Black Goku anymore, not with this body. Zamasu… my real name has come back to me."

Zamasu sighs, then says out loud "I do not dislike the change, but I do not relish being within a mortal's body and calling it by my own name." Zamasu raises an eyebrow when he hears his own voice, not the raspy Goku voice he had in Goku's body.

Chronoa hums slightly in consideration, then says "Well, I don't care. You're being punished, not promoted. If I want something, you follow do it. Got it, Zamasuuuu?"

Zamasu grimaces slightly at the sing-song voice Chronoa had as she said his name. That was not becoming of a god, and yet she did it anyways. But… she was right. He could not fight her wishes, and would have to follow along.

He looks around, satisfied with the examination of his new body. "And what is the punishment? Being weaker and holding a mortal version of myself isn't exactly a punishment." Even though he did actually despise having a mortal version of himself. So… filthy it was to have such a tainted vessel.

Chronoa laughs slightly, then says "This is where the fun begins. I know how much you hate mortals, so I have the PERFECT punishment. You'll be helping Goku and his friends defend the Earth!"

Zamasu's eyes widen immensely in shock and anger. A vein on his head appears, and he looked ready to burst a casket.

Chronoa, oblivious to the change or not caring, says "I've sent you just before Raditz arrives, and you'll be around Goku's level. So train hard, think smartly, and be ready for some FUN!"

Zamasu growls and says "What is fun about this?!" He gets no response, and he looks around in confusion. "Chronoa-sama?"

After another no response, he sighs loudly. His fist clenches tightly, and a bright purple aura ignites around himself. His anger was boiling at the task he had.

Mingling with those filthy mortals, the… the damned saiyans?! It was unacceptable to a god such as himself! He would not do it, not in a thousand years!

So why was he FLYING to Goku's power signature?! Zamasu's eye twitches in irritation at his own body's disobeying of him. "I am not even following my own thoughts. I hope this ends quickly, for my sanity." Sadly for Zamasu, most of that was already gone.

He blasts across the ocean faster than any aircraft or boat on Earth. He looks at the sights around him, smiling slightly at the crystal blue ocean and the shining blue sky. "This is what I fight for, this beauty."

As he is thinking on his love of nature, a sudden power spike hits his senses. He turns in the direction, his eyes wide. "This power! At my current level, there's no way I can beat them! Is that another Kaioshin?!"

He growls, then blasts forwards faster. He may hate mortals, but he also hated the chance of DYING even more. That power was malevolent, that he was sure, and it was much larger than his own insignificant power level.

He monitors the power carefully, searching for its whereabouts. Right now it was… moving VERY quickly to a far off place. Where that was, Zamasu doesn't know. He also didn't care. He just wanted to get to Goku so he had something to throw at the power's holder.

After just a few more seconds, Zamasu sees an island appear in his vision. He angles towards it, feeling Goku's power on the island. He scowls when he feels many other signatures as well. "More mortals. And here I thought only Goku would be here."

He pushes the thoughts aside as he lands on the sandy beach of the island. He straightens up and looks at the mortals in front of him. There was an old man, a young woman, a very short bald man, and a small child. And then there was HIM. The filthy WRETCH that spoiled his plans every opportunity he had!

He took deep mental breaths, trying to calm himself down. "Do not kill him Zamasu, he is your goal if you wish to gain your power back. You must… ugh, work with him…"

Zamasu takes a step forwards and Goku levels a mean glare on him. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Zamasu's eye twitches at the threatening tone, but he forces his anger down. "I am Zamasu, and I have come to help defend the planet."

Goku doesn't stop glaring at him, in fact his eyes narrow more. "Protect the planet? From what?"

Zamasu goes back to his ki sense and mentally smirks when he feels the strong power approaching. He sees Goku's eyes widen suddenly as if struck and look to the sky. A little more smugly than he should've been, he says "That power right there."

Goku gapes at the sky in awe, his friends looking at him in confusion. The bald midget raises an eyebrow and says "Goku, what are you-"

He suddenly stops speaking as his own eyes widen. They seem to widen in fear though, and he shakily turns to the sky. "T-That power! W-Who is that?!"

Zamasu turns and sees a tiny black dot in the sky, growing larger even second. He suddenly hears a giggling in his head, and Chronoa says "Let the first challenge commence!"

The dot suddenly enlarges rapidly and Zamasu had to back pedal rapidly as the figure touches down. The person straightens up, an arrogant smirk on his face. His ankle length hair swayed gently in the breeze, and he seemed to bear an awfully strong resemblance to Goku. He also had a brown, bushy tail around his waist and Zamasu instantly knew who… or what that person was.

The saiyan looks at Goku and says "I've finally found you Kakarot. And yet I still see life on this planet! Why have you not killed all the life here yet?"

Goku growls in confusion and says "Kill everyone?! I would never do that!"

The saiyan looks at him with nothing short of annoyance ands says "Of course you would! You are a saiyan afterall." For once, Zamasu agreed with a mortal. His eye twitches for the umpteenth time as he realizes what he just thought.

Goku's anger just seems to rise and he yells "I'm no… sayant! I'm an earthling!"

The enemy saiyan just growls loudly and says "Not sayant! Saiyan!" He levels a more analytical glare on Goku as he says "Wait… did you ever hit your head when you were small?"

Goku raises an eyebrow at the sudden change of subject. "I… yeah, I was told that I did as a little kid."

The saiyan growls and says "So that explains it then. You've lost your saiyan mind!"

Goku actually seems to be getting pissed at this point as he yells again "I already said I'm not a sayant or whatever, I'm an earthling! And stop calling me Kakarot! The name's Goku!"

The saiyan scoffs at that. "Goku?! Such a name is unfit for a saiyan! A name must be powerful, Kakarot, to be a saiyan's name! Such as mine, Raditz!"

Goku shakes his head, putting a fist up. "No! I am Goku the earthling, not a murdering sayant!"

A vein seems to pop out under Raditz's skin at the declaration. "This is getting us nowhere. I am not here to argue Kakarot, I am here to negotiate!"

Goku raises an eyebrow at that, his body straightening slightly. "Negotiate? For what?"

Raditz smirks suddenly, and a shiver goes down the spine of every human present. The smirk was filled with a deep malice, and it made everyone uncomfortable. Even Zamasu shifted slightly and his eyes narrow when seeing the smirk.

The long haired saiyan then continues with "You see Kakarot, I am part of an intergalactical trading company. We clear planets of all intelligent life, then sell them to the highest bidder."

Raditz raises an accusing finger at Goku and says "You were sent here as a young child to rid this planet of life, so we may sell it! Father never would've done it for any other reason!"

Goku growls once more, about to retort, when Bulma suddenly voices her confusion. "Wait, father?"

Raditz looks at the woman, glaring at her. She flinches and backs up slightly, going behind Krillin some. Raditz looks back to Goku and says "Yes, father. You see Kakarot, I am your brother!"

There was a collective gsp behind Goku. Zamasu raises a single eyebrow in surprise, but otherwise makes no motions. Goku just growls even louder, yelling "My brother would never be a cold-hearted killer!"

Raditz just shrugs and says "Believe what you will Kakarot, but you and me are related. And, as such, we must conquer planets together!"

Raditz nods to himself and says "Yes, the main reason I am here, is to recruit you Kakarot! You will continue the saiyan legacy with me!"

Goku's eye wavers, then narrows dangerously. "I would never join you! I am a protector of Earth, and you are becoming more and more like a villain every second!"

The murderous saiyan glares at his younger brother in pure annoyance. He growls, his long fangs, a trait of saiyans, glinting in the light. He is about to retort, when he hears a sudden sound. It was a low, put high-pitched sound, like a scared young animal.

Raditz looks for the source of the noise, and he eventually finds the source. A young child, barely above the age of four, with a kimono on. A strange hat was on his head, but more importantly, was the physical traits. Long black hair, wide black eyes. There was no doubt, this young child was related Kakarot, and Raditz bet he knew in what way.

Raditz points to the young child and says "This little one right here, who is he?"

Goku narrows his eyes, even more threateningly than before. "This is my son Gohan. Why?'

Raditz smirks, his eyes on Gohan. "Your son? Then that makes him my nephew. Tell me, where did you find another female saiyan to have an offspring?"

Goku raises an eyebrow and says "Female saying to have an offspring? What does that mean?"

There was another collective sound behind Goku, put this was of the people present facepalming at Goku's stupidity. Zamasu's eye was twitching, and he was using every inch of will power he had not to kill Goku right there and then. "The bumbling buffoon is going to be my biggest test."

Chronoa suddenly decides to chime in and says "That's the point buddy!" Zamasu's eye twitches, but he didn't want to give the Kai the pleasure of him responding. He's stay silent, for his sanity.

Back with Raditz, he was staring at his brother is complete disbelief. When has there ever been a saiyan this oblivious?! He shakes his head, then says "Never mind, I don't need to know. What I do need to know is whether you will join me Kakarot."

Goku shakes his head and says "I already told you, I'll never join people like you."

Raditz grins, a little bloodthirstly. "I was both hoping you'd not say that, but also say that."

Goku looks at his brother in confusion, when he suddenly sees Raditz faze from sight. He looks around, eyes wide and trying to find the saiyan, when a voice says "Kakarot, that was too easy. Give me a challenge!"

Goku's eyes widen even more and his gaze snaps to Raditz's previous position. There stood the saiyan, Gohan under his arm. The young child was crying and trying desperately to get out of Raditz's grasp, but the older saiyan had a vice grip on the child.

Raditz smirks and says "If you wish to see your son again, you will kill 100 humans, then join me at the landing site."

Goku doesn't respond, simply staring at his son crying and bawling. Gohan cracks an eye open, noticing his father standing nearby. Gohan sniffles, then yells "Daddy, help!"

Goku snaps out of his gaze at the cry, then growls loudly. A shimmer of light appears around Goku, and a blaze of white, flame-like energy begins to circle around Goku.

The earthling-raised saiyan tenses, then launches off the ground. White aura blazing around him, he yells with fury in his eyes "GIVE ME BACK MY SON!"

Goku pulls back his fist, then sends it forwards with all the might he could muster. Raditz, calm the entire time, simply tilts his head to the side.

Goku, not one to let up, sends a roundhouse kick at the saiyan. Raditz simply jumps over with ease. He then plants a hand on Goku's head, flipping over the messy-haired saiyan like a spring board. Raditz rights himself midair, landing directly behind Goku. And then, faster than anyone but Zamasu could follow, Raditz leg shoots out and slams into Goku's back.

Goku gasps loudly as he feels the kick hit his spine. He crumples to the ground, grunting in pain, one of closed. Raditz looks at the downed body of his brother, eying him with disappointment. "Such a disgrace, unable to handle even me. You aren't a true saiyan."

Raditz walks past Goku calmly, his grip on Gohan tight. Raditz glances back at Goku and says "You have until tomorrow Kakarot. You know the conditions, and you best complete them if you want your son to live." And then, with a surge of blue, the saiyan streaks into the sky.

Gohan watches his father with wide eyes as the ground seems to get farther and farther away. With one last desperate cry, the young saiyan hybrid screams "DADDY!"

Goku hears the cry and can only watch as his son is taken from him. He sees the two disappear into the horizon, his eyes wide. Tears suddenly spring into them, and Goku's eyes shut tightly. He slams his fist into the ground, crying silently. "D-Damn it! Gohan!"

The people present look at Goku with concern, not ever seeing Goku like this. No… there was one time. That was when Krillin died to Tambourine. It was a haunting memory for the all.

Bulma approaches Goku carefully, uncertain how to deal with Goku in this situation. "G-Goku? Are you ok?"

Goku sniffles quietly, wiping his tears. He nods, grunting in pain as he picks himself from the ground. "I-I'm fine. I just need to get Gohan back."

Krillin runs over, helping his best friend up. "But Goku, you saw how easily that Raditz guy beat you! How could you get Gohan back?!"

Goku grins at his friend, pointing a thumb behind himself. "Well, we do have this guy over here."

Everyone's gaze turns to who Goku was referring to. Zamasu looks between them all when he suddenly sees everyone's gaze on himself. "What?"

Goku walks over, a slight limp in his posture but nothing more. "You're strong, about as strong as me. Together, we could get back my son! Can you please help me?"

Zamasu's automatic response was about to be a "no" and then a tyrad of how evil mortals are, before he remembered why he was even here. With a very begrudging look, he says "Y-Yes… I'll help you."

Goku smiles warmly, saying. "I knew you wouldn't refuse. You don't seem like a bad guy!"

Roshi shakes his head and says "I don't know Goku. I feel some malicious intent within the young man's heart. You best be careful Son."

Goku looks at his master, then nods. He turns back to Zamasu and says "So, should we go now… um, Zamasu, right?"

Zamasu nods, mentally glad the saiyan didn't butcher his divine name like he did with the word "saiyan". "Yes, I am Zamasu. And yes, we should go now."

"Now is a good time, but not quite yet." Everyone's eyes widen and they all turn to the person who just spoke. Their eyes widen even more when they see just who spoke. He was tall and green, with antenna on his head. It was the son of the evil demon king, Piccolo Jr.

Piccolo lands silently, his cape waving slightly in the breeze. He glares at Goku and says "I am here because I have an unfinished fight with that guy who just came here. But… I need assistance, as much as I hate to admit it."

Piccolo notices the looks on the humans' faces and says "I am not turning over a new leaf or anything! Once this guy is out of the way, I can get back to getting rid of Goku."

Krillin smirks and is about to say something, when Piccolo levels a deadly glare on him. The bald monk instantly clamps his mouth shuts.

Piccolo, satisfied Krillin would keep his trap shut, turns back to Goku. "Together, we should have a chance against that saiyan, or whatever he called himself."

Goku nods, then smiles slightly. "And with Zamasu here, we should be able to take him down easy!"

Piccolo raises an eyebrow and seems to notice the saiyan-kai hybrid behind Goku for the first time. "Oh, and just who is he?"

Goku just does that doppy grin of his, eyes closed and everything, and slaps Zamasu on the back. Zamasu's eye seems to spasm in response. Goku, oblivious to Zamasu's plight, says "No idea! But he is strong and agreed to help!"

Piccolo eyes the stranger with a lot less trust than the saiyan. "There is a dangerous glint in that guy's eye. He's someone I need to look out for."

Piccolo gives Zamasu a look that voices his suspicious thoughts and says "Alright, he can come. But he better stay out of my way!"

Zamasu just narrows his eyes dangerously. "You stay out of my way, slug man." The real response was relayed through the glare. Piccolo instantly picks up the message, glaring at Zamasu warily.

Goku looks between the two nervously and says "H-Hey now, save the fighting for Raditz! We still need to go, remember?"

Piccolo glances at Goku, then just grunts. "Well, come on then." The green demon begins to float into the air, waiting for the other two.

Zamasu floats up to join Piccolo, but stops when he notices on the ground still. He raises an eyebrow, about to voice his confusion, when Goku suddenly yells "NIMBUS!"

A sudden streak of gold flies past Zamasu's face, making his now black hair flap wildly in the wind. Goku grins and jumps on the gold streak, instantly blasting away from them. He does a quick U-turn, slowing to a stop near them. Zamasu raises an eyebrow at what he sees.

Goku was standing on a golden cloud, seemingly solid beneath the saiyan's feet. Goku grins and says "Let's go!" The saiyan's gaze turns excited, but determined, and he streaks away from them.

Piccolo growls and flies after Goku quickly. "Wait for us you idiot!"

Zamasu watches them with an extremely exasperated look. He shakes his head, saying "These mortals are so impatient."

He turns back to the two retreating figures, his purple aura igniting around him. He then seems to disappear into the light, only a streak of purple behind.

Chronoa sighs, closing the book. She grins and says "What a chapter! Can't wait for the next one." She waves and says "Thanks for reading!"

-Author Notes-

I am trying a new thing with these little segments with Chronoa, like above, to end the chapters. She'll tell you teasers, thoughts, and other stuff! I just hope I remember, hehe... Anyways, thanks for reading Chapter 1!
