The Ruins of West City
The sky was a dark and depressing green. The city itself was a dead silent with only the sound of distant marching being heard. Not a ray of sunlight was visible for anyone to see or even feel. It was cold and unfeeling. Just like the monstrosities and creations that had ended them.
Amongst the rows of bodies laid out, only one man remained standing. His eyes narrowed as he stood there the marching of legions grew louder. He clenched his fists and ready himself. The red glowing eyes coming closer. The rows of smoke that rose in their wake covering their image. Another toppled building collapsed. He felt his energy dampen as he tried to raise his KI. He was on his last legs and alone.
"Come on… I just need a bit more." He said to himself as he clenched his fists and roared unleashing as much as power as he could. His eyes shining emerald and his hair spiking up. He continued to unleash more and more energy. He tried his hardest. Enough to make his fists bleed. He shouted as loud as he could. Until finally with one mighty yell, his energy exploded. The power of a Super Saiyan wrapping around him.
Goku with a strained sigh fell to one knee. One fist on the ground and the other on his knee. Before he stood up and stood his ground. He got into a battle pose and cracked his neck with a groan. He only had so much energy to spare. Yet he was going to expend it all right here.
"I'm impressed Son Goku." A feminine voice said from amidst the smoke. Goku looked up with an angered expression. Walking ahead of the legions of grayed clones was Android 21. His eyes were filled with rage as he saw the figure that caused all of this. Then in her hands made him want to lash out. The defeated and clearly dead body of Vegeta. "The fact you can stand up to face me. The fact you have unleashed this amount of power. Especially in this ragged state. It's simply… unbelievable. What a guy!" She said with excitement visible in her voice. "I see now Son Goku that you are worthy. Between Gohan's explosive potential, Piccolo & Majin Buu's regeneration, Android 17's limitless energy, and so many other delights I have decided you will be my grand finale. Until I find Broly or Frieza anyway…"
Android 21 said with delight as she revealed her own power. With it being so great Goku's eyes widened. There was no way for him to close the gap. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a Senzu Bean and chomped on it. He felt his wounds restore themselves as he prepared. He tried to unleash more of his power but knew the strain would be too great unless he unleashed it in short bursts. "Are you ready to finish this?" She asked with a grin.
"Yeah. I am." Goku said closing his eyes. Before launching forward, his fists clenched.
Without wasting a moment Goku & Android 21 quickly went back and forth as her legion of clones watched on, slowly taking to the air. Goku dodged and weaved as fast as he could, reacting without hesitation as if were using Ultra Instinct. He threw a punch as hard as he could. Only for 21 to gently push it away with her palm. Before she delivered three fast strikes to Goku sending him downward with a loud crash. As Goku emerged from the smoke, he could barely stand. "Come on… I just need a bit more… A bit more po-" He began before a sharp pain pierced his abdomen. He looked down with shock as he saw a hand reaching through him. The hand of Android 21. She tore it out with ease and Goku dropped to the floor. Defeated.
"Well, I guess that's it for you, right?" Android 21 said with a disappointed look. "Vegeta put up more of a fight than this. I'll tell you that much." She began as she pointed her finger, electricity forming at her fingertips. "Goodnight. And Goodbye Son Goku." She finished as she unleashed the attack. Only for Goku to suddenly disappear out of the area. She gave a confused look before she turned and saw somebody holding an equally shocked Goku on his back. Before dropping him to the ground.
"I apologize for being a bit late." The voice said as he stood up and stared at Android 21. "I got a bit sidetracked and it took me a lot longer than I expected to get here." He continued as his tail bashed against the ground.
Goku only looked in shock as he stared at the figure who beared a resemblance to Frieza. "Who are you?"
"Not that you will remember but my name is Renegade." The frost demon said with a smile looking down at Goku. "And I'm doing my job." He said with a smile as he powered up, preparing to face Android 21.
Dragon Ball GT: Super - Season 2
Arc 1: Gods & Mortals
Chapter 1 - The Angelic Meeting
Whis walked down the corridor with an expression of discomfort painted on his face. It had been at least a year or two since the Tournament of Power had concluded. Ever since that frame of events they hadn't been summoned to Zeno's grand palace. At least, not all 12 of them had been. All twelve angels. Gathered within one room for a discussion that had come out of the blue. The twelve angels walked in two separate lines. Six in one, six in the other, both side by side. As they entered the room, at the center was the Grand Priest on a platform, & the two Zenos on the sides of him on their thrones.
"Take your seats." He commanded and the angels all did. They sat down in their spots from birth. One through twelve.
"Excuse me, you are in my seat sister, would you mind?" Whis said to Vados, who moved over to the left. The two sat beside each other and rested their angelic staffs on the table. They looked over at the Grand Priest who looked with an expression of worry.
He then opened his mouth, "The realm of us Gods and Angels, has been invaded. By mere mortals no less." He stated. None of the angels showed any surprise at this. All of them had seen or at least heard of the mighty displays of Son Goku, Renegade, and so much more during their tournament a few short years ago. "These mortals such as Jiren from Universe 11, Renegade from an alternative Universe 7, and Son Goku from our Universe 7 each displayed impressive power. Super Saiyan Gods… Limit Breaking Power… The complete Ultra Instinct." He said as he looked over to Whis with a look of questioning. "More and more, these mortals are finding a way to trespass on our techniques, our power, and our secrets. Fusion, Potara, and so much more. Their powers and standing are growing more and more. This is no concern to us Angels. Our abilities and power have been unmatched even with the existence of warriors such as the Time Patrollers." He continued. "However, our chosen Gods of Destruction have grown… weak. There impact is no longer felt. They've become soft and allowed mortals to even outright challenge them."
Whis, Vados, and Macarita each felt their brothers' and sisters' eyes look at them. Son Goku had once been challenged by Beerus to a battle. Belmod hadn't even attempted to fight Jiren. The warrior known as Kefla was able to challenge a (suppressed) Renegade. The same frost demon who had surpassed and bested all of the Gods of Destruction in combat.
"It is time to re-establish order across the universes. So as of now. All mortals with more than the average level of KI currently present in all twelve universes. Will be hunted down and eradicated without a trace." The Grand Priest announced. "By our newly birthed 'Gods of Calamity.'" he said as three figures each appeared.
The angels all were taken by surprise. They each looked at each other. These Gods of Calamity were extremely powerful it seemed. Their power from just what they could sense was immense. The Calamity Gods looked around with expressionless faces. One bore a catlike appearance similar to that of Beerus, except with red skin and red and white quills that went down to their tail. The other was a female with light blue skin like an Angel, except she had black hair and red eyes. Her body was slim and slender. The last of them was a birdlike figure. With greens feathers, focused and narrowed eyes, and stood tall above the rest. At least at a relative height to Goku while the girl was to Frieza's height, and the boy was relative to Vegeta in height as well. Whis noted that each wore God of Destruction attire.
"Any questions?" The Grand Priest asked.
"Are we allowed to provide aid to any mortals we wish to survive?" Cus from Universe 10 asked. The Grand Priest shook his head "no."
"If you or your God of Destruction intervenes, you both will be erased. That is unnegotiable."
Vados asked, "Are we allowed to provide any requested materials to the mortals? Or is this supposed to come as more of a surprise to them? They are being hunted, correct? Therefore they are supposed to be taken by surprise when found?" She added.
The Grand Priest shook his head no once again. "This plan is to eradicate the beyond average mortals. The only way for them to survive is to kill these Calamity Gods. These beings are beyond any Gods of Destruction. They were birthed in time relative to when Beerus clashed against Renegade. They are resistant to most techniques… even the Hakai. They are beings of pure and unrelenting strength. They will fight endlessly. Those who survive their conflict with them are extremely talented…
And will be the new God of Destruction of their universe. Without question."
Whis arrived on Beerus' power in a downpour of rainbow energy. As he landed he saw Goku & Vegeta sharing a meal with Beerus with the overseer fish. The three godly combatants were lost in conversation. Before Whis approached them and made his presence known.
"Son Goku & Vegeta. It is time for you two to be departing." He said without a hint of emotion.
"But Whis, we haven't even done any training in progressing my Ultra Instinct training, and its been years since we last saw Renegade! So he can't even help me!" Goku began only for Whis to shoot him a glare. The look alone shut Goku up completely.
Vegeta felt a change of air in the room as him and Beerus looked upon the angelic figure. "Is something wrong Whis?" The Saiyan prince asked. Whis remained silent for a few moments.
"The fact you two are still here despite your teacher demanding you leave." He said.
Goku and Vegeta looked at each other before nodding in agreement. The two walked away from the table. Goku placed his hand on Vegeta's shoulders and two fingers to his forehead. Before without wasting a beat, the two were gone.
With Goku & Vegeta both gone, Whis looked over to Beerus who opened his mouth. "You were summoned to the palace of Zeno right. What happened up there? I haven't seen you this serious besides when we first started training all those eons ago."
"It seems our time with Son Goku & Vegeta is coming to an end far sooner than we expected." were the only words that came from the angel's mouth.
As Renegade stood over the toppled gray clones of Goku and his friends he looked across the skyline. The dark energy he had experienced and felt from them had long since dissipated. "That's strange… It almost felt like when… No that's impossible. They both were eradicated all those years ago. I am certain of it." He said as he felt a white light immerse himself as he was transported back to Conton City.
As Renegade returned, he looked up to see the visages of Son Goku & Vegeta also returning from another mission. The three Time Patrollers greeted each other and exited the Time Nest in silence. Getting greeted by Chronoa who had entered her natural form. That of an adult woman with white and yellow Supreme Kai attire.
"Is it as we feared?" She asked.
Renegade shook his head. "That energy that was similar to that of Towa & Mira was only that, similar. Those two have been eradicated. I am sure of it. This is a new threat." He explained.
"We'll have to say the same. The Frieza we faced in the timeline we emerged from was extremely powerful. We were even forced to go Super Saiyan to keep a handle on things. It is safe to say whoever this threat is, they are beyond anything we've faced before." Xeno Goku said, his voice carrying a weight of seriousness.
Xeno Vegeta then added on. "However, these two changes are extremely small. Within the timeline Renegade emerged from, all the Z-Warriors except for Goku & Pan all still died and that was the result. In the timeline we left, Frieza was revived prior to his Golden resurrection and was already powered up."
"These changes are extremely minimal I agree. We need to keep an eye on any others we come across though." She added as she took another sip of tea. As Xeno Goku & Vegeta exited the dimension only Renegade remained.
"You asked to speak with me in private before I left." He said.
Chronoa looked at him. "You haven't checked on your git from TokiToki and me in a number of years. I was thinking you'd forgotten it."
"Of course not, between recruiting season Jay & Toyo taking their breaks from the Time Patrol, I have had my plate full." He explained.
"Well, it is good to relax for a while Renegade. You should visit." She continued.
"I have a job to do, don't I?" Renegade said as he began to walk away. "And I have to check on my grandfather too." He added as he walked away from her. Leaving her alone with an empty cup of tea.
