When the time machine reappeared in the future the occupants looked down upon desolation, and in that instant their presence had been noticed—especially Goku's.
"So much for the power of the gods," Ranch mumbled, her faced mushed against the hatch.
When they landed and hatch opened, Goku immediately fell out as the nausea he experienced during the trip overwhelmed him. The rest weren't as graceful with their exit now that they actually had space to move around.
When Trunks was about to shrink the machine down to a capsule, Raditz quickly said, "Hold on." He looked in and just as he expected he found the bag with the urn. "I think I'll hold onto this for now, Kakarot," he said, securing it.
Trunks pressed the button to shrink the time machine down, and gave it to Bulma. "Hold on to this."
"So this is the future, huh?" Goku said, still feeling woozy as he stood up. "What now?"
"Trunks! Ranch! Move!" a voice suddenly shouted, as a mustached man with in a resistance uniform appeared aiming a grenade launcher at Goku. "I'll make him pay for all he's—"
But Trunks quickly got between them. "Don't shoot! This man's not—!"
"He only looks like the bastard, it's not actually him!" Ranch cut in, angrily shouting at them. "If he was why the hell would we be showing up with him?"
"Oh…I suppose that's true," the soldier admitted, lowering his grenade launcher.
"How have things been?" asked Trunks as he went up to the man.
The soldier looked down with an anxious expression. "We're still recovering, but Black hasn't been seen since our last run in."
"No point dawdling, then," Ranch said seriously. "Let's find them, and end his once and for all."
"Before you do," said Bulma, taking another capsule. "Vegeta, you should transform." From the capsule emerged the Blutz Wave Generator, and like before Vegeta was hit by the waves so that he was once again transformed into Super Saiyan 4.
"Black is going down this time!" Vegeta loudly declared, powering up and taking to the sky.
"Hey, wait up!" Goku cried, flying after him. Raditz heaved a sigh as he followed with Trunks and Ranch right behind him.
"Good luck, you guys!" Bulma shouted at them as they vanished in the distance.
In no time the five found Zamasu and Goku Black standing amid the destruction they wrought.
"Welcome back, Saiyans," greeted Zamasu.
"Whoa, so it's really Zamasu," Goku said in wonder.
"So you've finally come, Goku," Zamasu said, looking up at them. "Good, now we can a proper challenge."
"You can have Kakarot," Vegeta cried. "But Black is mine!" Wasting no more time, Vegeta powered up and launched himself down at them. Grinning, Black powered up to Super Saiyan Rosé, and flew up to meet him.
"I knew that was going to happen," Trunks lamented.
"Which why we planned for it," Ranch replied. "Dad, Uncle Goku, Zamasu is all yours!"
Trunks and Ranch immediately powered up before charging in to back up Vegeta when he needed it. The brothers nodded at each other, transformed into Super Saiyan Blue, and went after Zamasu.
When Vegeta and Black collided, the smirk that Black wore quickly disappeared. Vegeta managed to exchange some blows with Black that he took in stride, and then he kicked Black to send him skidding back. Then Black produced a ki blade on his right forearm, and swiped up towards Vegeta to send blades up at him. Vegeta was able to dodge the flying ki blades without a problem, and closed in. He grappled Black's right arm, and then landed a solid punch in Black's face.
Black wondered how Vegeta was able to get so much stronger in such a short amount of time, and then he took hold of Vegeta's fist. They then held each other, each one trying to overpower the other, their respective aura's glowing brightly. "You aren't called a warrior race for nothing, it seems!" he yelled, as Vegeta slowly but surely managed to push him back.
Vegeta said to him, "Not only will I show you the true power of Saiyans, but you'll also see what happens when you mess with the child and grandchildren of the Prince of all Saiyans!"
Black smirked. "That in and of itself was un-Saiyan like!" But despite his blustering, Black was being pushed farther and farther back, before Vegeta yelled and kneed Black in the gut. Black was blown back once more, and Vegeta gave chase as he pummeled him through some buildings.
"Holy crap, he might not actually need our help!" Ranch exclaimed with astonishment.
Meanwhile Zamasu was defending himself against the onslaught that Goku and Raditz were unleashing on him. He then noticed that Vegeta was pushing Black back, and attempted to go to his aide. But before he could get anywhere close to Vegeta and Black, Raditz and Goku intercepted him.
"Don't get distracted!" shouted Raditz, hammering him down.
"Yeah! You're fight is with us!" Goku yelled, punching Zamasu before he hit the ground.
His face became distorted from the hit, but as Zamasu got back up it healed back up in an instant. They all touched back down on the ground, and stood facing each other. "Insolent mortals!"
"Don't get so cocky!" Goku told him. "You're only still standing because you used the Super Dragon Balls to become immortal, and to make a copy of me!"
That suddenly caused Zamasu to begin laughing. "A copy? No. I am the Zamasu of this timeline—Future Zamasu, you would say. The soul of the Zamasu that you know is currently inside Goku's body."
"What?" Raditz blurted out angrily.
"Yes, he used the Super Dragon Balls to switch bodies with you, Goku. He then came to this timeline so we could become partners in our crusade!" Then he looked troubled. "For some reason we were unable to locate the Super Dragon Balls of this reality and we had to use the set from a different one for me to gain immortality, but no matter. Once we finish our work there will be no one to use them to wish all that we've accomplished undone."
"If that's Zamasu's soul in my body, then what happened to me?" Goku demanded.
Zamasu's superior attitude returned with a nasty smirk. "From what I heard he killed you…and your family."
Enraged, Goku powered up and shouted, "YOU MONSTER!"
Seeing his brother was about to charge at Zamasu, Radiz yelled, "Kakarot!" Goku looked over as Raditz opened the bag and took the urn out.
Nodding, Goku got in the stance, and angrily said to Zamasu, "You aren't going to win! We won't let you!"
"You will not catch me off guard again," Zamasu said, getting into his fighting stance. "Come, Goku, let me see for myself if you are everything my compatriot says you are!"
His aura glowing as bright as ever, Goku thrust his arms out and cried, "EVIL CONTAINMENT!" Green light emitted out of him, began to swirl around them, and engulfed Zamasu, whose smirk gave way to astonishment. Unable to do anything, Zamasu's body was lifted and stretched out. "After you, Black is next!" Zamasu kept on spinning and spinning, getting faster by the second in the void. Goku concentrated hard, and told Raditz, "Get ready, here he comes!"
"It can't be; this is impossible!" Zamasu screeched.
"Cry all you want, you're finished!" Raditz shouted, bracing and holding the urn open.
Zamasu was stretched out even more, and he started to turn into a streak of light as he approached the urn. Then in a rush of wind, Zamasu hit the urn and began to get sucked in. When Zamasu was completely entrapped inside the urn, Raditz shut the lid.
"Alright! We did it!" Goku exclaimed excitedly.
Raditz ignored him, though, as he took the amulet out and stuck it on the lid to complete the seal. "Now we did it," Raditz said, breathing a sigh of relief.
Black, who was distracted by his losing fight with Vegeta, noticed what had happened to his ally. Angered beyond measure, he managed to unleash a powerful burst of energy, and let off an immense blast at Vegeta, who was drunk off his own success and was caught off guard. He was blown backwards into a building before falling to the ground, and ended up getting knocked back down to his base form in the process. With Vegeta out of the way, Black took aim down at Raditz, sending a strong beam down at him.
Distracted by their victory over Zamasu, Raditz didn't see it coming. Goku, looking for the next fight, saw what had transpired, and yelled, "Watch it!" He pushed his brother out of the way and took the brunt of the attack himself. Crying in pain, a hole was torn through his ghi and his chest was badly singed, and in the process his Super Saiyan Blue form faded away.
"Kakarot!" Raditz yelled in panic. Setting aside the urn and also powering down to his base form, Raditz rushed to his side.
Seeing the tide suddenly turn, Ranch shouted, "Crap!"
"Let's jump in!" Trunks told her.
"Right!"
Hearing them, Black began to laugh. "What can you two possibly do against me?" He then set his sights on the brothers, and the urn lying by them. "I've got more important things to do!"
But Trunks and Ranch got into position and started, "Fu…sion…HA!"
Black didn't even get half way to Goku and Raditz when he felt a powerful new presence that took the place of Ranch and Trunks, and before he knew it the new being was in his way in their Super Saiyan 2 form. Before he had time to process who this person was, Raunks went in for the attack. While Raunks wasn't dealing the same damage that Vegeta was earlier, they were still strong enough to now to take on Black almost on even terms.
On the ground, Raditz was patting down Goku, desperately asking, "Kakarot, where are the Senzu beans?"
"Forget about me," Goku said through the pain. He reached into his ghi and took out the Potara earring. "You and Vegeta better take a page of out of Raunks' book."
Stunned, Raditz began, "Kakarot, you can't mean—!"
Goku pushed the earring into his brother's hands. "No time." He then fainted.
Raditz angrily grit his teeth. His eyes traveled up to Raunks, who was managing to hold off Black, and then over to Vegeta, who had gotten back on his feet and shook his head. Steeling himself for the unpleasantness that was to come, Raditz gripped earring, and yelled, "Vegeta!" When Vegeta looked over, Raditz said, "Catch!" He then threw the Potara earring at him, and Vegeta caught it.
Looking down at earring, Vegeta began, "Wait, isn't this—?"
"Yes! Put it on your left ear!" Raditz told him, as he took out his own earring and put on his right ear.
"Absolutely not!" Vegeta said hotly, red with fury. "I would never fuse with the likes of you! I'll defeat Black with my own power!"
Raditz shot back, "Do you really think that bastard will give you the time to use that machine to transform again?"
"Either way it'd be nothing short of humiliating!"
"I'm not exactly looking forward to the experience, either, but we have no other choice!" Just then their attention was drawn to the fight as Raunks powered up to Super Saiyan 3 in an attempt to get an edge on Black. Turning back to Vegeta, Raditz continued yelling, "You know as well as I do that form won't last for long! For the sake of your family put your damn pride aside this one time!"
Vegeta gave the earring in his hand a hard look, as an internal war raged inside of him. Finally, Vegeta gave in and placed the earring on his left ear. In an instant Vegeta and Raditz were hurled towards each other as if propelled by magnets. When their bodies collided, there was a burst of light and a surge of new energy as another new being emerged.
Raunks and Black paused their fight to see what had happened, and they looked over to see a tall man with Vegeta's slender frame and facial features, and Raditz's long hair. Astonished at first, Raunks then smirked at Black. "You are so screwed."
Black growled angrily, demanding, "Who are you?"
"Rageta," they announced. "And you will pay for all you've done!" Rageta turned Super Saiyan Blue, and before Black knew it Rageta closed in and punched him in the gut.
After that first blow, Black was furiously managing to block the attacks Rageta was throwing at him, but he was being beaten back in the process. Black was waiting for an opportunity to strike back before it was too late, but found that when he had the chance to counter Raunks came in to deliver a strike of their own. The double team Black was experiencing left almost no room for error. Black was able to do nothing except try and endure the barrage of assaults that Rageta and Raunks threw at him, but he wasn't able to do even that successfully every time. Black was quickly becoming bloodied and bruised.
When Black managed to punch Rageta, Raunks followed that up with an elbow to his face. A time where Black delivered a chop to Raunks, Rageta was right there to drive his fist into his gut. Despite being in Super Saiyan Rosé Black was easily outclassed in every way, even more so than earlier when Vegeta alone temporarily had the upper hand.
At one Rageta hit Black so hard that he was blown back quite a way from them, and Raunks didn't manage to follow up with another attack. As a result a good amount of distance was put between Black and his two (or rather four) foes. Black angrily grit his teeth, staring down Raunks and Rageta. His eyes flicked down at the ground to where Goku was lying unconscious by the urn that contained Zamasu. Any energy attack that he attempted to shoot down on that spot in an effort to free him would most likely be intercepted again.
"Fine," muttered Black. "So be it." He floated higher into the air, and put his hands to his side to charge up a Kamehameha. "If it means getting rid of you mortals I'll just blow away this planet, too!" The ball of dark energy between his hands glowed more intensely than ever, and Black began shouted, "KA…ME…HA…ME…!"
Raunks scoffed as they looked up at Black. "Déjà vu, isn't it, dads?" they asked, unsheathing the sword on their back. "Mind giving me a boost?"
Rageta smirked. "With pleasure."
Raunks got in front of their fathers, who twisted his body and raised his hands up by the side of his head. Rageta glowed brighter as he charged up the energy blast. "Galick Gun…" He threw his arms and hands forward. "Fire!"
As Raunks was caught in the blast, they were thrust forward at great speed, their sword pointed right at Black.
"HA!"
Black's Kamehameha sped down at Raunks, who powered up with a loud yell as they saw it coming at them. When the Kamehameha was right upon them, it collided with the tip of Raunks' sword enveloped in energy, and the beam scattered. Rageta's energy beam continued to thrust Raunks forward, with Black's Kamehameha barely slowing them down. Black's expression was etched with disbelief as Raunks kept getting closer and closer, no matter how much power he was putting behind the attack.
Before Black knew it Raunks reached him, and using the power behind them they easily pierced their sword right through Black's gut. Black looked down in shock at the sword that had been plunged into him, and then he looked back up, meeting Raunk's hate-filled glare. Raunks powered up once more, angrily shouting, "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FRICKIN TIMELINE, YA DAMN PRICK!" With another loud yell, and great exertion, Raunks tore their sword upwards, vertically cleaving Black's torso in two. A bright light emanated from Black, who cried out in agony, and he disintegrated right before Raunks' eyes.
When the light cleared there was nothing left.
They won.
