"Goku, your tail is back!" said the perplexed Krillin.

"Yeah, how bizarre! I guess Bulma was right about that mystical liquid after all!" replied Goku gazing at his backside.

On the Lookout, the Dragon Team stands in disbelief, discovering Goku's tail has grown back.

Bulma theorizes about Goku's new tail, "Hmm… I'd have to run some tests back at my lab. The only problem is, that Mira guy trashed it when locating the Dragon Radar. I'm not sure if I can get it back up and running again."

"We can worry about that later, Bulma. Right now we have to come up with a plan for what's to come." replied Goku.

Noticing all the demons have retreated, and Towa has suppressed her energy to where it's almost undetectable, Krillin asks about the events that unfolded during the previous battle, "Hey, Goku, What exactly happened out there? I felt Towa's energy sky-rocket earlier, and Janemba's energy disappeared completely."

"Well Janemba is gone; Vegeta and I took care of him with fusion. But Towa merged with Mira and transformed into a whole new powerful form. I think she's even stronger than Janemba now. I guess that only suits her being the queen of demons." replied Goku.

"What? Oh no, that doesn't sound too good. But I bet if you and Vegeta do fusion you could stop her for sure!" replied Krillin.

"It's possible, but there's an even bigger issue still out there." replied Goku with a serious face.

"Umm… Something worse than Towa?" asked Krillin.

"Yeah, during our battle with Janemba, he got a hold of the dragon balls and used them to resurrect an even more powerful demon he called Demigra." explained Goku.

"More powerful than Towa? That sounds pretty scary." replied Krillin.

"Yes, Janemba kept saying he's the god of demons." replied Goku.

"De...Demon God?" replied Krillin in a trembling voice.

"Yeah, strangely enough, Towa said they won't attack us for three days." replied Goku.

"Three days? But why?" asked Krillin.

"I'm not quite sure. Probably some sick game Towa's cooked up. I guess we'll just have to wait and see." replied Goku.

As Goku and the others make a plan for what's to come, high above earth's orbit sits the large ship that houses the evil presents the Z-Warriors speak of. With the help of the dragon balls, and Towa's magic, Demigra, the Demon God is allowed to return after being held captive. Towa creates a giant wormhole, allowing Demigra to board the ship.

(Note: Demigra, or also known as: Demon God Demigra, is the main antagonist of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse video game, and God of the Demon Realm. He is hellbent on destroying history to create a new one where he can reign freely as a God of Time. In this story however, Demigra has a similar agenda that will later be explained.

Demigra appears wearing a heavenly-blue overcoat with golden details on his upper part of the body and rounded on the arms. He wears blue boots curling at the end of it and a darker blue in pants. Demigra also wears a belt with the letter "D" in the front, a golden tiara and he is always carrying a white staff with a red orb at the top. When he was younger, Demigra wore a black and white overcoat with a blue cape over his shoulders.

As for his personality, Demigra has what can best be described as a god complex, possessing an unshakable belief that he is an almighty god who deserves to rule all of time and the universe, refusing to be bound by the Laws of the Universe nor yield to any true ruler/guardian of time and space. The Kais have very seldom knowledge of him, as he was sealed away for 75 million years trapped within the crack between dimensions.

Demigra is proud, arrogant, self-assured, and enjoys toying with his enemies. Despite admitting he is a Demon (as he calls himself the Demon God), he truly believes and insists he is a divine god. During his imprisonment, he has become extremely patient and extremely tenacious in his goal, having many years to ponder his events after escaping.

Though more powerful than Towa, the two have a deep relationship as they both ascended from the Demon Realm. Unlike Janemba, Towa is extremely loyal to Demigra, and would assist him in his goal by any means possible. And now in her new empowered form, Towa is the 2nd most powerful entity in the Demon Realm, giving her the true title of "Demon Queen")

Stepping through the event horizon of the wormhole, Demigra touches down on the metal floor of the ship, experiencing solid ground after 75 million years. When his feet touch the ground, Demigra drops to his knees, appearing exhausted. Towa aids the Demon God by helping him up, "Master, what is wrong?" she asked in a concerned voice.

"My...my powers have not yet returned... Where am I?" asked Demigra in a weakened voice.

"We're aboard a ship that Mira, Janemba and I salvaged from Planet Broking. Right now we're currently orbiting a planet called Earth." explained Towa.

Towa escorts Demigra to the throne room, where he sits down in the very same chair Janemba did while scouring the universe. This chair's appearance greatly resembles that of a throne chair which is the seat of state of a potentate or dignitary, especially the seat occupied by a sovereign on state occasions; or the seat occupied by a pope or bishop on ceremonial occasions.

"So, what's the news on galactic conquest? How much of the universe is left before we own it all? And where is Janemba?" asked Demigra. "I need to bring him up to speed on our next course of action."

"Janemba has met his unfortunate end. I'm sorry master." replied Towa.

Demigra was completely overtaken, "What! Are you saying that my most appointed and powerful demon was destroyed by a bunch of pathetic weaklings!?" he shockingly asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. We recently encountered some strong warriors living on the planet we currently orbit." replied Towa.

"But how? There's no way such a weak race could possess that kind of power." replied Demigra.

"That's because it wasn't the earthlings. There are a group of powerful warriors living there that defend the inhabitants there. Their leader appears to be a Saiyan that goes by the name of Goku. He has extraordinary power." explained Towa.

"A Saiyan? I thought that race was extinct?" asked a still surprised Demigra.

"It appears a few of them survived. Two of them to be precise. They've made this planet their new home." explained Towa.

Demigra took a moment to notice Towa's new appearance, "I see you've returned to your proper self." he said.

"Yes master, after Janemba's defeat, I had to ensure there would be no more mistakes. I split myself into two entities to make scouring the universe easier. My other half I named Mira, collected energy and DNA from every planet we visited. My brother Dabura decided to stay behind and resurrect Majin Buu with the help of the wizard Babidi. But later we discovered Dabura was defeated by a mere earthling, and that saiyan we spoke of foiled Babidi's plans, extinguishing Majin Buu." explained Towa.

"What? Majin Buu defeated by a Saiyan? That's absurd! There's no way a Saiyan could generate enough power to destroy the most feared creature in the universe." replied Demigra.

"It happened, master. Not by himself, but with the help of his comrades. But do not fear master, they've already experienced the fear I've struck into them. I knew it would take around three days for your powers to be fully restored, so I granted them three days of anticipation." replied Towa.

"Indeed, that seal I was stuck in has mitigated my powers… Towa, I admire your ambition. You will be rewarded handsomely for your efforts. Though your power is currently greater than mine at the moment, you still show admiration. I suppose I chose correctly in appointing you as the Demon Queen." replied Demigra.

"Of course master, I wish nothing more than to reign supreme with you. Without you, the demon realm would have never existed." replied Towa.

Demigra felt invigorated by Towa's words, "Yes, very soon this universe will belong to us; and together, we will create a new one, with you and I as the supreme rulers!" he said with a big smile and great delight in his voice.

Towa places his right hand on Demigra's hand, showing that she has feelings for him. Demigra was completely taken by surprise, but confirmed the feeling was mutual by placing his other hand in her cheek, promising her the universe after earth is conquered, "I don't know who this saiyan thinks he is, but no one desgraces our demon heritage and lives to tell about. This Goku you speak of will suffer dearly for his actions." he said.

Towa smiles, "Yes, they will all pay. I've got a score to settle on my own, but for now you must rest and regain your strength." she said.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Goku decides to visit King Kai for advice about his new tail. King Kai gasps upon seeing and hearing the news of Goku's tail, "Awww, a tail!... Goku! Listen to me! You must be very careful when going out at night time!" he demanded.

"Really? Are you sure?" asked a skeptical Goku.

Yes, for if you gaze up into the moon, you'll transform into the ape… And no one on earth will be able to stop you! You'll be a raging beast unable to control yourself!" replied King Kai. "Remember Grandpa Gohan! Remember him?"

Goku thought back to the old days of the original dragon ball. Grandpa Gohan would always tell Goku to never go out at night, or a lot of very bad things would happen; that his tail would be his undoing one day.

"Hmm... I guess I should be careful." replied Goku in a semi-serious voice.

"I'm serious Goku! It would be a terrible experience if you wake up to discover all your friends and family are dead. The only thing that tail is good for is death and destruction. That's why you had it removed in the first place. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and get rid of it before it's too late!" suggested the very serious King Kai.

"Perhaps, but I've got a feeling this means something. Hey, maybe Old Kai knows!" replied Goku teleporting via Instant Transmission to Sacred World of the Kai, without saying goodbye.

King Kai retorts on Goku's eagerness, "Geeze, just like that he's gone! It's getting harder and harder to teach these kids. I remember the days where I did what my master told me to do. I sure hope Goku makes the right decision." he said in his mind.

Goku arrives on the Kai Planet. Old Kai is reading a book under a tree, while Kibito Kai witnesses the recent events that occured on earth through Old Kai's crystal ball. Goku's sudden appearance startles Kibito Kai, "What? Goku?" he asked.

"Yep, it's me alright." replied Goku.

Old Kai peaks over his book, gazing at Goku, "Hmm...I was wondering when he'd show up." he mumbled to himself.

"So Goku, what brings you up here?" asked Kibito Kai.

"I'm sure you've heard about what's recently happened on earth. There's an evil demon called Demigra coming to attack earth in three days. I came to ask for some advice." replied Goku.

"Advice? What?" asked a confused Kibito Kai.

"Hmph! No can do!" said a disgruntled Old Kai. "You only show up when you want something. You don't stop by and say hi, or even send a postcard. You should be more kind to those who assist you."

"Awe come on Old Kai? I'm sorry, I've been busy saving the world and stuff." replied Goku.

"Old Kai, come to think of it, the two of us wouldn't be sitting up here, and our planet wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Goku. We must do everything in our power to assist Goku in time of need." replied Kibito Kai.

"Well, I suppose you have a point. He did save us from Majin Buu. Alright, what can we help you with Goku?" asked Old Kai as he closes his book and walks towards Goku.

"Well, I kinda grew my tail back after the battle on earth. I think it might mean something." replied Goku.

Old Kai takes a moment to examine Goku's backside, "Hmm...interesting...remarkable indeed...hehehe, I have a hunch." he said, still chuckling.

"A hunch?" asked Goku.

"Yes, you see, a saiyan's tail is the primary source of their power. With it, you can reach a level you never could before. Your tail is the key to achieving your true potential." explained Old Kai.

"Really? Come to think of it, an evil saiyan named Raditz came to earth a long time ago and mentioned something about my tail. Perhaps it's time to train, and really learn the power of the saiyan tail." replied Goku.

"Now hold on, you said this Demon calls himself Demigra?" asked Old Kai.

"That's right, do you know of him?" asked Goku.

"Of course I do Goku; all Kais know of him." replied Old Kai.

"Well...umm...who is he exactly?" asked Goku.

"A dark demon of the worst kind!" replied Old Kai. "Long ago he tried to subvert the entire universe with his dark magic, and in turn, wanted to merge our realm and the demon realm, that way he could rule both simultaneously."

"Really? The Entire Universe? This guy sounds like bad news." replied Goku in a concerned voice.

"Indeed, the Demon God will be no easy feat. In fact, no one has ever been able to rival his power. So instead he was sealed away many eons ago by the dragon balls. No one ever thought anyone would take an interest in releasing him. But it appears with help from the earth's dragon balls, the Demon God is free once again. Soon everything will be under his control." replied Old Kai with a concerned face.

"Not if I have anything to say about it." replied Goku, tightening his fist, awaiting for a good fight.

"Now hold on there. I respect your cause for wanting to save your planet, but Demigra is no ordinary opponent. Underestimating him will be your downfall." replied Old Kai.

"Aw come on, he can't be any different from anyone else we've fought before." replied a skeptical Goku.

"And that's exactly the kind of thinking that will get you killed. It's simple Goku, he's a god, you're not. Facing the Demon God in your current state would be a very foolish act indeed. Normally I'd say the best course of action would be to run, but this new tail of yours might be the edge you need." replied Old Kai.

"Really? You think so?" asked Goku.

"Yes, if you discover your true saiyan power, through your newly acquired tail, you'll have more than enough power to destroy the Demon God." explained Old Kai.

"Hmm...then how do I unlock this power?" asked Goku seeking advice.

"It's actually quite simple when you think about it. As I explained before, a saiyan's true power originates from their tail. Transforming into ape-form, and learning to control it is the key." explained Old Kai.

Goku thought about the stories his Grandpa told him about his ape-form, not to mention, remembering his battle with Vegeta when they first met. The ape transformation is something Goku was never able to control, he also remembered the dangers that come with not being able to control himself in ape-form, "Uh...isn't there another way Old Kai?" he asked in a concerned voice.

"No, I don't see the problem. Vegeta was fully able to control his ape-form when he transformed. I don't see why you couldn't do the same. If you want to defeat the Demon God, you must overcome the primal mind and tame the beast within. I just hope you figure it out in time." explained Old Kai.

Goku, still skeptical, thought about all that's at stake, realizing that this is something he must do on his own. Then it hit him, Old Kai's words gave Goku an idea, "Time," he said with a serious face.

"Huh? What are you on about Goku?" asked Old Kai.

"I've got it. I know what I must do now. The power to kill a god was in my tail the whole time. Thanks for the heads-up Old Kai." replied Goku waving good-bye, teleporting back to the Lookout with Instant Transmission.

After getting King Kai and Elder Kai's opinion about his saiyan tail, Goku makes a suggestion to one of his allies that might turn the tide in battle, he finds Krillin and Eighteen.

"Oh, hey, You're back so soon Goku." said Krillin.

"Yeah, I was seeking advice from King Kai and Old Kai." replied Goku.

"Oh, yeah, what did you find out?" asked Krillin.

"A few secrets to find out on my own, but I've come to ask you something." replied Goku.

"Me?" asked Krillin.

"Well, more so Eighteen, I've got a plan to beat those evil demons, and I kinda need Eighteen's help to do it." replied Goku.

Eighteen overheard Goku's conversation, "My help, hmm...what is it, another sparring match of yours that you're so fond of?" she asked.

"No, Towa mentioned that she, and this guy Demigra wouldn't attack earth for three days. That was yesterday, so we have two days left. That gives us plenty of time to get stronger." replied Goku.

"What? Two days? Am I missing something, how can two days make any difference?" asked a confused Eighteen.

"Maybe not in this realm, but I know a place where you can get a year's worth of training in just one day." replied Goku.

The answer hit Krillin, "Hey wait, you mean the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!?" he asked.

"Yep, my time there has expired, I can't use it anymore. But Eighteen could make full use of it. She doesn't wear out in battle like the rest of us which gives her an advantage. I say, she's the perfect person to use it; it worked for Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan, and I, then it can work for her." explained Goku.

Eighteen took a liking to Goku's request, knowing this was her opportunity to have another shot at Towa, "A year of training in one day, sounds interesting, let's do it." she said, accepting the offer.

"Alright, it's settled then, follow me." requested Goku.

Goku leads Krillin and Eighteen to the door of the chamber. Mr. Popo quickly catches wind of the situation and offers to help. Stopping just before the door, Krillin asks Mr. Popo for a favor, "Mr. Popo, could you watch after Marron while Eighteen and I are in the chamber?"

"Of course, I'll prepare a room." replied Mr. Popo.

"Krillin, you're going in too?" asked Goku.

"Yeah, I thought about it, and I think I need to bulk-up myself. It only seems fitting for us all to be as strong as we can get." replied Krillin.

"Well okay, are you sure you're ready for a whole year in there?" asked Goku.

"As sure as I'll ever be. After what I've seen, there's no more time to hold back." replied a very serious Krillin.

"Alright, good luck in there Krillin." replied Goku waving to his best friend.

Krillin and Eighteen enter the time chamber. Mr. Popo closes the door behind them. The chamber felt different than anything they had experienced. Staring into the white void confirmed Krillin's thoughts about the chamber. The two cross the threshold, exerting ten times normal gravity upon them. Eighteen felt nothing, as ten times earth's gravity is nothing for her, but Krillin felt a slight push on his body. Nothing he couldn't handle, as his limits of power surpass the dangers of the chamber.

On the outside, Piccolo expresses his concern for earth to Goku, "So that's the plan, counting on Eighteen to save the planet? Do you really think the training will work?" he asked.

"Perhaps, the time chamber is only one part of the plan." replied Goku.

"Part one? I see, I assume you have something clever in mind while we wait for Krillin and Eighteen?" asked Piccolo.

"Kinda, but for now, it's time to check out the competition." replied Goku.

"What, You mean you're going to check that Demigra guy out? Like right now?" asked Piccolo.

"Yep, I don't even know what he looks like, or how strong he is. It's time to see what we're up against. Be right back!" replied Goku, placing his fingers on his head.

But just before leaving, Goku hears a familiar voice behind him, it's Vegeta, "Wait Kakarot!" he shouted. "You're going to check out those demons. I want to come with you. I want to see what these so-called demons are capable of."

Goku agrees, opting for Vegeta to travel with him via Instant Transmission. However, Goku decided to make a quick stop at Capsule Corporation to visit Bulma in her lab.

"Why are we here?" asked a very confused Vegeta.

"There's a little something I have to get before we go up there." replied Goku.

"Goku? Vegeta? What are you two doing here?" asked a startled Bulma.

"Relax Bulma, I'm here to get more of that mystical liquid stuff." replied Goku.

"That magical stuff that kid brought with him?" asked Bulma.

"That's right, do you have any of it left?" asked Goku.

Bulma walks over to a desk, and unlocks a drawer with a key. She pulls out a small black box, containing the liquid, "There's only two left. I don't know what you're planning, Goku, but use it sparingly." she said, holding the vials in the palm of her hand.

"Thanks, but I only need one. Perhaps you'll find a use for the last one in some way." replied Goku, taking one of the vials from Bulma's hand.

"Really? Vegeta, you don't want to try it?" asked Bulma.

"No! I am a true saiyan; and true saiyans don't need some disgraceful liquid as a crutch to get stronger." replied the arrogant Vegeta.

"Alright, suit yourself Vegeta. I'll keep studying this stuff. Maybe I can find some way to utilize it better." replied Bulma.

"Sounds good, thanks Bulma." replied Goku.

After a quick goodbye, Goku teleports himself and Vegeta to the vessel in orbit around Earth housing the demon threat. The two saiyans arrive just outside Earth's orbit on the ship's hard metal surface. The size of Janemba's space plundering ship gave Goku the realization of how many planets were conquered, and technology acquired throughout the saike demon's conquest.

"Strange, I thought they all would have come running by now." said Goku, noticing that their presents hadn't been discovered yet.

"Hahaha, maybe they finally realized that taking on a pair of saiyans is suicide and they all went home. I say good riddance." replied Vegeta.

"I'm not so sure. With how superior Towa felt after our battle on earth, I don't think they would just pack up and leave." replied Goku.

Goku and Vegeta's presence are quickly detected when a sensor is triggered, alerting a crewman aboard the ship, "Perminator Breach! Perminator Beach!" announced the automated computer system.

Towa is immediately notified by one of the crewmen, "Mistress Towa, we have intruders on the ship's dorsal structure."

"What? Who dares disrupt Demigra's recuperation!" said Towa mildly upset.

"It's those two saiyans from earth; the ones who bested Lord Janemba!" replied a crewman.

"I told them three days! Why are they here so soon!" angrily replied Towa. "Master Demigra hasn't had time to reach his full potential yet."

Then, overhearing Towa's yelling, Demigra enters the room, "Calm yourself Towa. They're most likely here out of curiosity." he said.

"Curiosity? What do you mean master?" asked Towa.

"During my imprisonment, I've observed many different realities, and had a great deal of time to study the saiyan race closely. Their primitive nature is to fight strong opponents. They must have learned of my existence from Janemba. If I was to make an educated guess, I'd say these two saiyans are interested to meet with me." explained Demigra.

"But master, you mustn't. Your powers have not yet returned. Let me handle them. I've already proven I can handle them since merging with Mira. I'll have them begging us both for forgiveness in a matter of minutes." replied Towa licking her lips at the thought of pain and suffering.

"No, I think we've hid long enough. It's time for a formal introduction. If these saiyans really did defeat my strongest appointed demon, then they must have impressive power. All those planets you, Mira, and Janemba defeated, conquered, and renovated, and yet this planet remains untouched. Trumped by a couple of primitive monkeys!" replied Demigra.

"Very well, but if they attack first, I'll have to get involved." replied Towa.

Demigra commands a crewman to open the roof of the ship. A platform comes down allowing Demigra and Towa to exit the ship, slowly rising to the top. The ground opens up a few meters away from Goku and Vegeta's position, revealing the powerful demons.

Vegeta, who was sitting on a nearby rock, impatiently stands up, "Finally, I thought I was going to die of old age before the fight even started." he said.

Demigra slams his staff to the ground, interrupting their conversation and catching their attention, "Greetings!" he said. "I am Demigra, the God of the Demon Realm."

"So, we finally meet face to face, you're a lot different than I expected you to be." replied Goku with a serious face.

"Ahh, I see the Saike Demon I appointed as my second in command told you about me." replied Demigra.

"That's right, I had to come see for myself. It looks like the stories were true after all." replied Goku.

"I see, even though Towa advised that we would be visiting your planet very soon, you just couldn't help yourself. Typical Saiyan." replied Demigra.

"Of course, but I didn't come here to fight." replied Goku.

"Really? Then if you didn't come to fight, perhaps you've realized your ultimate demise and came to ask for mercy." replied Demigra.

"Nope, I've come to tell you to bring it on." confidently replied Goku with a smirk.

Demigra and Towa pause for a moment, then burst out laughing at Goku's foolishness. Even going as far as to shock Vegeta.

"Hahahahahaha… My my Goku… You and Vegeta defeat my most illustrious demon, parade yourselves up here, thinking you can take on the two most powerful demons in existence, and all you have to say is bring it on? You fascinate me greatly, Goku." replied Demigra.

Goku continued to stare at them with a serious face, "The two of you will pay for all the crimes you've committed throughout the universe. I'll see to that personally." he said.

"Is that so… A bold statement indeed Goku… But you haven't the slightest clue who you're dealing with. It's unwise to speak to celestial beings such as myself in such a manner." replied Demigra.

Vegeta steps forward putting in his two cents, "Hahaha, unwise huh? Anyone with a brain would know it's not smart to pick a fight with a saiyan." he said with a grin.

"How dare you speak to me with such blasphemy! You're lucky my powers haven't fully returned yet or I'd crush you like an insect!" angrily replied Demigra.

Goku's eyes perked up at the news of Demigra's power loss, "So that's it. I wondered why you chose to wait three days before coming to earth. You needed time to restore your power. Well that certainly sweetens up the deal." he said.

Towa gets upset with the insults towards Demigra, "Master, allow me rid you of these despicable saiyans. It would be a great pleasure to slowly, and painfully slay them for you." she respectfully asked.

"Not yet Towa. I'm interested to hear what the saiyan has to say." replied Demigra. Then he looks back at Goku, "Your words intrigue me Goku. You mentioned something about a deal… Elaborate for me saiyan."

"Gladly, here, I have something to give you." replied Goku as he takes out the recently acquired vial of magical liquid from his Gi. With a soft under-hand toss, he throws the vial at Demigra.

Demigra easily catches the vial with one hand and stares at it with a peculiar face, "What is this?" he asked in a confused voice.

"It's called Mystical Healing Liquid. It refreshes the body, returning the user to their original state. A kid who was visiting our planet brought it with him. It should restore your power." explained Goku. "Go on, drink it."

Vegeta was completely dumbfounded, "Kakarot! Have you completely lost your mind! What the hell are you doing!" he said in an angry voice.

"Hey relax Vegeta. His power isn't fully restored yet. It's only fair to let him fight us at full strength." confidently replied Goku.

"What! Kakarot is your brain on vacation or something? We could have been using this opportunity to attack him when he's weak." replied an upset Vegeta.

"Perhaps, but I want to fight him when he's at his best. That way we can truly know who the strongest is." replied Goku with a smile.

Demigra overhears the conversation and becomes very amused with Goku's actions, "Hahahaha, how astounding, despite everything at stake, you still can't help your saiyan impulse. Kinda sickening if I do say so myself. All the same though, I gladly accept this offer, Goku." he replied with great pleasure in his voice.

"Master, this must be some kind of trick. The saiyan is clearly trying to poison you." said Towa.

"Towa, you mustn't be so naive. These saiyans get a thrill out of fighting strong opponents. I say we give Goku exactly what he wants. Besides, the only thing he's managed to do here is guarantee his own demise. Afterwards I will see to it that he regrets the gesture." replied Demigra as he drank down the liquid, throwing the vial away afterwards, hearing it break into pieces.

After a brief pause, Demigra is drastically overcome with a huge rush of energy. His muscles bulge and a large dark purple aura surrounds his body. He does a fist pump in the air as his demonic, god-like powers flow through him. Goku smiles the entire time during this process.

"AAAAHHHH!... Wonderful!... I can feel my full power coursing through my veins! At last I am omnipotent once again!" delightfully said Demigra.

Goku and Vegeta both felt the Demon God's energy shoot through the roof. The mystical liquid worked to perfection. Demigra stood in awe as his ancient power that lay dormant for so long finally returned to him.

Goku stood firm, and confidently tried to strike a deal, "Alright, in exchange for restoring your power. I ask that you honor Towa's original promise to not attack Earth for the remaining time." he said.

Towa gets upset with Goku's demands, "Silence!" she said. "You mortals should know your place when speaking to the god of demons."

"Relax Towa, no need to be so hostile. This stuff Goku brought is quite extraordinary indeed. Anyone stupid enough to seal their own fate is certainly no threat to us." replied Demigra. Then he answers Goku's request, "Very well Goku. I admire your sportsmanship, and regardless of how utterly foolish it was I'd hate to destroy you so quickly after such a marvelous gesture. Your overconfidence has blinded you from reality. But you will see soon enough. I will grant your request. Spend the next day and a half knowing that it will be inevitable. Make sure you're kind to all the one's close to you Goku, for it shall be the last time you ever see them. The clock's ticking."

"I see, it'll be one hell of a fight that's for sure. I gotta say I'm looking forward to it." replied Goku with a confident smile.

"Just know that you brought this on yourself, Goku. When the time comes, there will be no mercy for you. Oh and make sure you bring plenty of those Senzu Beans. You're probably going to need them." replied Demigra.

Goku confidently nodded, "Right. Till then." he said with a bold smile, teleporting himself and Vegeta back away. But instead of returning to the Lookout, Goku decides to visit Korin's Tower to get the wise cat's opinion on how he will fare against his battle with Demigra.

"Goku? What on earth are you doing here?" asked a startled Korin.

"Hey Korin, I know you can sense what's going on. I went to see what we're up against, and I gotta say, Demigra looks pretty indestructible. I was wondering if you know how strong Demigra really is, and where I stack up against him?" asked Goku.

"Hmm… Well… I'm not sure how precise I can be. Neither Demigra or Towa have revealed their full potential yet. But yes, I can tell you more or less." replied Korin.

"Alright, well spit it out. Let's hear it." eagerly replied Goku.

"That's difficult for me to answer. But if I took an educated guess, I'd say in your current state you're inferior, Goku." advised Korin.

"Yeah, I figured he was more powerful. Thanks Korin." confidently replied Goku.

"What? That's it? You're acting like there isn't anything to worry about? Did you discover some new secret or something?" asked Korin.

"Hahaha, maybe… Only time will tell." cheerfully replied Goku.

"From what I've gathered, you don't have much time left, Goku. If I were you, I'd spend the rest of my time coming up with a good plan." replied the wise Korin.

"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Korin." replied Goku, teleporting with Vegeta once more to the Lookout.

As the saiyan pair leaves, Korin retorts in his mind about Goku's strange behavior, "Hmm… If Goku knows he's inferior to the Demon God, then why is it acting so strange? Something seems awfully fishy to me. I sure hope Goku knows what he's doing."

Goku and Vegeta appear on the Lookout, and are quickly welcomed back from Dende and Piccolo. Goku explains the events that happened during his meeting with Demigra. Piccolo is baffled to discover Goku willingly gave Demigra the magical liquid, "What? You mean you just gave him that stuff?" he asked.

"Yep." happily replied Goku.

"But why?" asked a rather confused Piccolo.

"There won't be any excuse for him to make if he loses. That way, he can know he had every chance." replied Goku.

Vegeta gets fed up with Goku's overconfidence and wide-eyed decisions, "Ugh, that's enough!" he shouted, grabbing Goku by his Gi and slamming him hard into a nearby wall, "Now you listen good, Kakarot! This isn't some game where you can just quit whenever you want. I don't know what the hell that was back there! But you have cost us a tactical advantage, and most likely our lives! A true warrior learns how to exploit his enemies weaknesses, not make them stronger!"

"Hey, relax, Vegeta, he's not gonna beat us." replied an unworried Goku.

"Really? And how do you figure that? How do you know he won't come here right now and destroy us?" asked a frustrated Vegeta.

"He won't." replied Goku. "You heard him say that he felt invincible after drinking that stuff. A sudden rush of power like that would go to anyone's head. Destroying us isn't number one on his list of things to do right now. And I bet anything he wants to keep us in suspense for the time being."

"Maybe so, but it doesn't change the fact that it was a foolish decision!" angrily replied Vegeta.

"Hey, you did the same thing against Cell, remember? You let Cell absorb Eighteen for the thrill of fighting a stronger opponent." replied Goku.

"That was different." calmly replied Vegeta, letting go of Goku.

"How's it different?" asked Goku.

"I had to pay that android back for embarrassing me. It was a bit more than a thrill." replied Vegeta with a disgusted look.

"I see, so there was a bit of revenge behind it too. Wow, who'd thought you had another agenda behind it all." replied Goku.

"Don't act so surprised, Kakarot. We're a warrior race, and I didn't care a single bit about the android. Only to test my powers to their absolute limit. I thought letting Cell evolve would be the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone." replied Vegeta.

"Well it's good that you've changed my friend. I believed everyone was capable of it till I met a bastard like Frieza." replied Goku.

Vegeta stood with his back facing Goku, "Kakarot… You've discovered a new power haven't you?" he calmly asked.

"Uhh… Kinda…Maybe it's nothing, I don't know. I haven't quite figured it out yet." replied Goku scratching his head.

"Then I will…" replied Vegeta as he flew off, leaving the Lookout.

The Saiyan Prince flies through the air, proclaiming his new agenda, "Hahaha, Kakarot thinks he can conquer the saiyan tail. Well he'll soon have a rude awakening! The Saiyan Prince will reclaim his throne soon enough!"

After Vegeta's brief epiphany, he finds an empty wasteland at the far end of West City. He quickly lands in the rocky terrain and suppresses his energy, making him undetectable by sense. Vegeta begins to think about his past, remembering his very first encounter with Goku where he had to transform into the Great Ape to outmatch Goku. He knew if anyone could have full control over the primal mind, it would certainly be him. Vegeta's thoughts made time seem non-existent. Night quickly came, and Vegeta welcomed the night sky with open arms. He stares up at the moon enjoying it's bright glow. The only piece missing was his tail.

The next day came. Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Bulma, Goten, Trunks, Videl, Dende, and Mr. Popo gaither just outside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber door. But Vegeta is nowhere to be found. Twenty-Four hours had passed, and the chamber door opened.

"Look! They're coming out!" shouted Piccolo, grabbing everyone's attention.

Super Eighteen emerges from the door first, with Krillin trailing a few feet behind her. Both of them stand staring at everyone with their clothes damaged. The others could sense Krillin's power had increased a great deal. Eighteen on the other hand could not be sensed. Her power had increased exceptionally but no one knew how much. Goku could tell his friends had changed just as he did after his time in the chamber.

After a brief moment of silence stares, Krillin looks up to the sky with a concerned face feeling the evil, terrifying power of the Demon God. Eighteen notices Krillin's facial expression, "What.. What is it, Krillin?" she asked.

"That power… It's a big one. But it's different from Towa's. It feels...stronger." replied Krillin.

"What? Are you sure?" asked Eighteen, slightly concerned.

"Yeah, whatever it is, it's the darkest I've ever felt." replied a concerned Krillin. Growing more concerned by the second, Krillin asks his best friend what's going on, "Hey Goku? Mind filling us in on what's been happening?"

"Well, I went to check out that Demigra guy while you were away." replied Goku.

"So you can take him right?" asked Krillin, having confidence in his friend.

"I'm not so sure." replied Goku with doubt in his voice.

"What? Come on! Are you serious!" replied Krillin.

"Yeah, dead serious. If I was to fight him right now. I'm fairly confident he'd beat me into the ground. From what I saw of him, he looks pretty tough. We have one hell of a fight on our hands that's for sure." replied Goku.

"Really? Damn, there's gotta be a way to beat him." replied Krillin.

"Maybe. The good news is we still have a day to figure out a plan. You two turned out nicely. I can tell your power has increased a lot Krillin." said Goku admiring his best friend.

Goku then looks at Eighteen. Unable to sense her power, he interestingly asks about her training, "So… How much did your power increase?"

"Enough is all you need to know." replied Eighteen in a worryless voice. "When it comes time to handle Towa. I'll take care of it myself."

"Great, I hope the training was worth it." replied Goku assuming her power had increased greatly.

Piccolo notices Krillin and Eighteen's damaged apparel, "It looks like you two could use a makeover." he said, using his Materialization Beam to repair their clothing.

After thanking Piccolo and Mr. Popo for their assistance, Krillin and Eighteen retrieve Marron from a bedroom. Finally ready to go, Goku, Gohan, Bulma, Goten, Trunks, and Videl are all transported home by Instant Transmission.

With only Twenty-Four hours remaining, the Dragon Team prepared in anticipation for a huge battle ahead of them. But the question remains, will Goku master the saiyan tail in time to save his family and friends? And did the Hyperbolic Time Chamber give Eighteen the boost she needs to defeat Towa? More importantly, will the Dragon Team come out on top and destroy the most powerful entity to ever threaten the universe? The next chapter will reveal it all.
