A particular Saiyan couldn't stop grinning for some reason. It was most likely because the bastard that they've been fighting for so long had just been sliced right before his eyes. Though, the bad new still lies in the fact that he was currently falling towards the ground with little to no Ki left.

"This is gonna hurt," Kuzuku thought until he felt someone catch him before he hit the ground. He looked up to see who had grabbed his hand, only to see his majesty himself with half of his armor blown completely off.

"Thanks Vegeta. It really would of hurt if I fell any further," Kuzuku smiled while the Saiyan prince didn't bother to look his way. Trunks and Goku were already huddled up with the gang who were waiting by the time machine. Vegeta took his time to fly over there, dropping Kuzuku on his butt and landing on his feet.

"Ow! Looks like I stand corrected," Kuzuku yelped, rubbing his aching butt until he was quickly hugged by 21. He smirked and hugged back as well while looking at Trunks. Vegeta was given the typical proud smile from his Bulma and weird enough, F-Bulma was doing it as well. It kinda made him blush a bit, earning a chuckle from the carefree Goku.

"This is great! The future is finally free of Zamasu's terror and now...we can all live happy lives!" Mai cheered. They all nodded, happy that everything was finally over...or were they? Kuzuku felt something was off and turned his head towards the crater, only to be completely and utterly confused as to what he saw.

"Guys...we beat him right?" Kuzuku mumbled.

"Yeah, isn't it great! We'll finally have time for peace!" Trunks cheered.

Kuzuku began to sweat as they may have been dead wrong, "Well then, care to explain what I am currently looking at?!". Everyone turned to see what Kuzuku was looking at. There they saw the corrupt god was alive and well but returned back to his normal state. They were so frightened as it took literally everything they got and yet he was still alive.

"How! I sliced you in two to where you exploded! You shouldn't even be alive right now!" Trunks asked.

Zamasu began to cackle loudly, "You're right mortal, you did slice me in two but you forgot that I am immortal. I merely regenerated and that's not all...". The fusion pointed his finger to another Zamasu that landed next to him.

"Two Zamasu! But how?!" Goku exasperated.

"Simple, you exploded my various body parts and now, due to my regeneration power, we were able to duplicate ourselves," Zamasu smirked devilishly. On cue, an army of about a thousand Merged Zamasu came out of the crater. Eventually they surround them from all angles, leaving them nowhere to run. Kuzuku got back up on his feet and stood along with Goku, Vegeta and Trunks. The four of them were determined to continue fighting, despite that all of them are one foot in the grave right now.

"You know, I am getting real tired of this self righteous, preaching egotist coming back to life," Vegeta pants.

"Yeah, if there were only a way for us to simply erase him from existence, then maybe we'd get out of this mess," Kuzuku mumbled. Goku was rubbing his chin until his brain finally access those extra brain cells that he didn't know he had. He quickly scavenge through his pocket and found what he had been looking for.

"Yes! It's still here!" Goku chimed, taking out a purple button that seemed ridiculously small for Goku's hand.

"Goku, what is that?" Kuzuku questioned, his face filled with curiosity.

"The solutions to all of our problems," Goku smirked as he pressed the button carelessly. Without any time wasted, a new figure appeared between them all. He had a child-like stature and was wearing luxurious clothing with a wield symbol on his shirt. His head had different shades of Blue and was shaped like a football. Gowasu and Shin were stunned but quickly ran over and got on their knees in respect.

"Lord Zeno-Sama, we are please to make your acquaintance!" They praise in union. Kuzuku was confused for a moment and looked at Goku with questioning eyes.

"Mind telling me who is this guy, Goku?" Kuzuku asked

Goku smiled at him and his curiosity, "He's the king of everything, Zeno! With his help, we can definitely defeat Zamasu!". Zeno was completely confused and looked around at the destroyed world.

"Wow, this place looks pretty bad. Did you do this?" Zeno awed and pointed at Goku for the question. Goku shook his head and looked up at the sky where all the Zamasu's were fearing for their life.

"Nuh uh, the person who did all this was him. If he's gone then everything would return back to normal," Goku answered. Zeno tilted his head and smiled.

"Should I erase this world?" Zeno said. Goku quickly grimaced at the thought of Trunks's world getting erased and quickly pleaded, "No, No, Zeno! Hehehe, all you need to erase are all of those guys. I promise if you do that then I will take you to someone who will be loads of fun!"

Zeno processed what he said and nodded, "Very well then...he looks annoying.". Zeno began to fly into the sky and raise his hands into the air, creating two blue orbs in his hands. All of the duplicated Zamasu's tried to take off in full speed, hoping to somehow escape destruction, but it was all futile as in just a instant, they were all erased from existence. Everyone besides Goku and Vegeta along with the Kais stood dumbfounded by what had happened. The person that they had so much trouble with was literally erased right before their eyes by a small child-like entity who is presumably the King of Everything. They were seriously considering this to be a big joke and waited for Zamasu to return, but he never did. Zeno landed on the ground and looked back at Goku.

"Done, now you can take me to that someone you speak of!" Zeno cheered.

Goku gave the little man the thumbs up while giving him a wink, "You bet!". Vegeta scuffed at the victory, though he would of preferred if they settled the matter with their own strength.

"Well this was an anti-climatic ending huh? At least the future is now safe and all can be set right again." Kuzuku chirped.

"I guess so, however, with Zeno-sama presumably coming with us due to Goku's influence, there would be no gods to govern the universe in which chaos from those who are wicked shall spread through the cosmos. Especially since the Kugeki and Aereos in this timeline are still around, they are free to do whatever they , the Grand Priest may be in commission but it will take a while to restore the balance by finding new gods of destruction," Shin noted.

"That's alright," Trunks said, gaining the Kai's attention.

"Despite the lack of gods due to Zamasu's rampage, we mortals that have hope for the bright future ahead of us will never give in to those two. I will make sure of that!" Trunks claimed with determination. Kuzuku smiled and walked over to him, patting his shoulder.

"I like that and you better brace yourself because those two are no easy opponents but with your new found strength, I believe you could pull it off," Kuzuku encouraged. Trunks nodded as his three love one's walked up to his side, smiles spread across their face. Bulma had already set up the time machine so they can leave. She handed F-Bulma a set of supplies to help her technological advances in hopes to support her in making another time machine.

"Trunks, be safe for me okay? I know I am merely your mother from a different timeline but still...," Bulma whispered before she felt a hug from his future son. Trunks closed his eyes as he took in what would probably be the last time for a while.

Trunks hugged a bit tighter and whispered, "Yeah I will mom...,". With that, everyone from the past hopped into the time machine with the future king of everything, waving their goodbyes to their allies from the future. The time machine started to power up before flying into the sky. Everyone looked out of the pilot pit, seeing the people they protected cheer for them from a distance. Trunks who was still waving his hand, remembered his promise with Gohan. He felt Mai and F-Bulma hug him as he was struggling not to cry.

"Don't fret it too much Trunks. I am sure he...no everyone in Otherworld are proud of your efforts in protecting our world. You will always remain as the future's hope," F-Bulma comforted. In no time, the time machine disappeared as soon as the hero of the future let out all of his emotions with a long and hard fought cry. Maybe now, he can get some rest and rebuild his destroyed world along with those that carried the same concept of hope.

Back In The Past

Now in the past, Trunks along with everyone of Goku's and Kuzuku's friends gathered in the backyard of his home. They waited for what seemed to be like hours until the many particles of light began to swirl around before revealing the time machine in it's full glory. Numerous facing brighten up as soon as the hatch opened to reveal the heroes still alive, hoping out of the machine one by one. Chi Chi along with Goten hugged Goku as they were worried for quite a long time. Goku stood stun for a moment but did the unusual, hugging back with more of a caring nature as they shed their tears into his tattered clothes. Trunks grabbed his father's hand, dancing happily for his safe return while Bulma watched, smiling at her excited little boy. Kuzuku was silent, watching as everyone talked with no care in the world while he sat on the grass. He heard footsteps approach him and turned to see Gohan sitting right next to him. He looked distant as he watched his wife and 21 along with Riley, chatting away.

"So...is Trunks alright?" Gohan asked. Kuzuku looked at him for a moment before looking up at the sky. It seemed to be getting late which goes to show how long they were gone for.

"Yeah...he was amazing out there," Kuzuku answered.

Gohan smirked, "That's nice. Now tell me, what's on your mind?". Kuzuku looked with surprise before looking at his now folded hands. He took some time to process his words before releasing what he had on his mind. Kuzuku smiled a bit, somewhat tender and comforting yet also held acceptance.

"To tell you the truth, I have thought about everything that has happened up to this point. The conflict with Aereos, the fight against Kugeki, and now even Zamasu. It all seemed so...bitter. As if everyone of them had represented the constant conflict between mortals and gods. The hatred that seems to brim from that, even the hatred that I used to feel," Kuzuku said, looking up at 21 until he heard two people approach him and Gohan.

"You have something special about you, Kuzuku. Something that most mortals or even deities don't realize," Beerus called out, gaining the attention of the two Saiyans. Whis was walking beside him with a plate full of food and began chowing down.

"Beerus...," Kuzuku muttered as he watched the god of destruction stop in his tracks.

"Gods and mortals coexist in this world, only to share one difference between them. One who is supposed to govern over the other and is left with the responsibilities to bring about advancement throughout the universe," Beerus said.

Kuzuku looked back at the ground, "Yeah, however, despite giving it your all on improving the universe, the prayers and hopes that we all share will not reach even you nor will it reach that of Zeno.". Beerus closed his eyes for a moment, letting out a deep sigh before looking back into the sky.

"I guess you're right. It was evident with Kugeki...in all honesty if I had known that those with hearts such as hers were around on that planet, then maybe I could of done something different. Despite me being a god, I had always felt the need to do more with my strength," Beerus muttered, catching even Whis off guard. Kuzuku blinked a few times and took a glance at 21 who was laughing. His eyes seemed to burn with a fiery passion.

"No, it's not your fault, Beerus-sama. I think that most people expect too much for god or some sort of salvation to aid them through rough times. Those like Kugeki, expected gods to be strong and have the ability to do anything through sheer force. Zamasu believed that gods were all powerful and should be revered by everyone but despite his contradictions, he wanted mortals to be perfection itself in a way. Aereos had wanted to improve the universe in his own twisted way while being a god himself. Each one had a different paths but, I believe that the correct path is...," Kuzuku smirked as he closed his eyes before reopening them.

"Mortals shouldn't be placing all our hopes on gods to correct our wrongs and mistakes. If we become tired of living with regret, then we should take steps towards acknowledging those unchangeable scars and stop pretending to be okay. All in hopes to become a brand 'new' person that is better than the last. We all can't be strong all the time and neglecting this side of one's self will only lead to your downfall. Although we will worry, little by little, we'll all be alright and live on." Kuzuku speeches as the wind blows his hair. Whis finished eating a piece of cake on his plate and smiled as he wiped the food off of his face.

"So, Kuzuku, what will you do to keep on pushing forwards?" Whis asked, as if there was only one right answer he could choose. The Saiyan thought for a moment until he gave him a warm smile

"I'll keep on living with the things most precious to me, holding them tight and never letting go of what I have now. Looking back at it now, I always asked myself how long ago was it since that day and how much have I progressed. But I'm certain that the future resulting from those days are evident here. Those words I remember from since then always been pushing which each step leading to another," Kuzuku said. Gohan grinned warmly at Kuzuku before getting up off the ground and throwing his work jacket over his shoulder.

"It seems that he's finally matured..." Gohan smirked as he walked over to his friends and family with Kuzuku following him. It was a tender yet sweet conversation with many unexpected notation but all they know for certain that both Gods and Mortals must pull their own weight for the future that everyone ideally desires.

A/N: Just a small chapter. I may also add that next week, there might be no update due to me being extremely busy during that week.
