Authors Note: Aright everyone, decided to include a quick note at the beginning of the next chapter. For a time I was becoming slightly disenchanted with this story and didn't much feel like continuing writing it, but I recently watched Dragonball Super: Broly and that gave me the inspiration to keep on going with this! What I want to ask all of you is how I can include Dragonball Super Broly in this after writing multiple chapters featuring his original version, any suggestions are helpful, thanks!

A flock of bats flew threw the rocky, desolate landscape of Earth's Hell, lit only by the blood-red sky, the flock took a sharp turn downward at a waterfall, underneath which multiple fish swam around, a school of smaller carp trying to escape as a massive fish swam up behind them, inhaling them before another fish dove deeper, coming to the bottom of the body of water. As it turns out, the lake had no solid bottom, instead their was open air beneath it, the water serving as this realm's sky, the various roots of aquatic plant life penetrating the aquatic layer and embedding in the ground of the dry earth below, a very strange scene unfolding within it.
A golden light shone down onto a serene meadow, the area being full of lush, healthy plant life and featured one large tree standing in the middle, the light seeming to focus on it. Underneath the tree a group of stuffed animals, one resembling bears, one looking like an elephant, and the other two resembling a pig and rabbit, marched along as they played a whimsical and upbeat song on their small instruments, the music carrying far as small groups of fairies flitted around.
"Good morning, Mister Sleepy-head!" the fairies all shouted in unison as they rose into the air, floating opposite a cocoon, their voices childish and cartoon like.
As they flew away, the cocoon slowly turned, revealing the rage-filled face of Frieza, the once evil intergalactic overlord now reduced to being bound inside a cocoon from which there was no escape, hung from a tree in a meadow, that for him was possibly the worst place in existence.

"Commander Sorbet." a soldier called.
"What now? Can't you see we're about to leave?" Sorbet asked.
"It's Planet 448, the native uprising has gotten worse, we can't keep them down for much longer." the Soldier replied.
"Then send in more Soldiers." Sorbet answered.
"There...there are no more. With the fighting on other worlds our forces are stretched to their limit." the Soldier reported.
"What? That's impossible!" Sorbet replied. It had only been two years ago that the Planet Trade Organization, now under Cooler's control, had been more powerful than ever, thousands of worlds in their ownership and countless species and Soldiers under their command. "We have to hurry this up, then."
"Are you sure you want to go to Earth?" the Soldier asked. "I know that female knows how to find the Dragonballs there but she knows the Super Saiyan!"
"Our armies are falling apart, we're being beat back from all sides and no matter how much we look we can't find the Namekians, we have to go to Earth." Sorbet said. "Besides, I have no intention of involving that woman, where our Spy Drones have failed in other aspects they've succeeded in informing me that she is not the only one who can find the Dragonballs, Tagoma, we're going to Earth."
"Why not take a large unit with us?" Tagoma asked.
"Because, the warriors on earth, the Saiyans inluded can sense power levels without using a Scouter, the larger the force, the more power there is to sense and the larger the risk of being discovered is."
"Understood, let's go." Tagoma answered, Shisami shooting him a frustrated glare.
"Are you sure you want to go down there yourself?" the frog-like Soldier from before asked.
"Of course, Lord Frieza is coming back to life." Commander Sorbet said.
As Sorbet and Tagoma closed in on Earth in their shuttle Tagoma brought up an image onscreen of Pilaf, Shu and Mai obtaining a Dragonall and adding it the other five.
"There they are commander! Look, they've already gathered six of them."
"Then hurry! Catch them before they get them all." Sorbet replied.
"Yes Sir." Tagoma answered, warping the ship down to Earth's surface.
A short while later Pilaf, Shu and Mai found themselves in the company of Sorbet and Tagoma, the two holding them hostage aboard their ship as it floated at sea.
"Now don't disappoint me." Sorbet warned. "You said the last Dragonball was right here."
"Well, it is." Pilaf said with a nervous laugh. "But that's where it get's a bit tricky...it's on the ocean floor which is pretty far down, you'll need some type of submersible."
Sorbet shifted his gaze to Tagoma, nodding at his lieutenant. "Tagoma, dive down and retrieve the ball."
"Yes Sir, the purple skinned alien replied as he dove into the waves, disappearing into the ocean.
The Pilaf Gang gave a startled yelp before they gathered a safe distance from Sorbet.
"Mai, this is all your fault." Pilaf began. "You didn't move quick enough with the Dragon Radar, now these alien jerks are going to snatch them up and steal the wishes that should be ours!
"Now you're the one who said we should cooperate, we should have just told them no!" Mai protested.
"No matter, here's what we're going to do! Mai, you'll take out your gun and Shu, you'll take out your little sword and slash slash slash pow pow pow! We beat 'em." Pilaf said.
"Wait, if we don't to take 'em down shouldn't you attack too?" Shu asked.
"I'm supposed to be the brains of this operation, but very well! Let's roll!"
Shu flanked Sorbet with his sword as Mai darted out behind him with her gun, all three converging on Sorbet. Within an instant Sorbet whirled around, giving two blasts from his ring-laser, the pulses knocking the sword from Shu's hands the gun from Mai's, Pilaf quickly hiding the stick he planned to attack with.
"Just because I'm small doesn't mean you should take me lightly, earthlings." Sorbet threatened.
Pilaf, Shu and Mai dropped to the ground, backing for forgiveness as Tagoma burst out of the water, the last Dragonball in his grip.
oOo
Piccolo rocked a crib containing both babies Pan and Daikon with an irritated look on his face, he had to play babysitter while Gohan and Kyuuri went off with their adult children and Trunks to train with Goku and Vegeta on Beerus' world.
"Don't worry, I'm back for now." future Daikon said as he walked through the doorway.
"Saiyans, always wanting to train." Piccolo said, eyeing the sleeping Saiyan infants.
"Well, can't blame us, right?" Daikon asked, everything Whis is teaching I've already learned, so I've come back to check on my Sister...and myself.
Suddenly Piccolo looked up, concern shooting across his features.
"Hey, what's going on?" Daikon asked.
"I don't know, but I'm sensing some bad energy from that direction.
"Now that you mention it so am I." Daikon replied. "I wonder what that could be."
oOo
Far away, Sorbet and Tagoma had taken Pilaf, Shu and Mai to a remote and rocky location, the seven Dragonballs assembled in front of them.
"Well, get on with it." Sorbet said.
"You're not the type of guy who's going to kill us once this is all over, are you?" Pilaf asked.
"Not to worry, earthlings, you see, because of your skills I may have use for you yo yet so it's within my best interests to keep you alive." Sorbet replied.
"I have a boyfriend named Trunks and if anything happens to me you're going to regret it!" Mai exclaimed.
"Summon the dragon! I won't ask again!" Sorbet demanded.
Pilaf fearfully stumbled towards the Dragonballs, outstretching his arms as he reached them. "Eternal Dragon Shenron! By your name I summon you!" he exclaimed as the balls began to glow, Sorbet and Tagoma looking on in shock as Shenron roared forth from the Dragonballs, swirling into the sky as a bright light emanated from below.
"I am the Dragon Shenron, I shall grant you any wish, now speak!" Shenron boomed.
"Go on, Commander, this is our chance." Tagoma said.
"Alright." Sorbet began. "I wish for Frieza! Bring him back to life!" Sorbet shouted. Shenron didn't respond, instead staring down at Sorbet. "What? Are you deaf?! You said I could wish for anything!"
"Of course it can be done, but Frieza's body was cut to pieces and obliterated many years ago, I cannot restore it, there would be little point in returning his soul to that form." Shenron answered.
"He's still in pieces, huh? Oh great." Sorbet bemoaned.
"Sir think about it, with the new regeneration machine we use for our troops this may not be a problem. Even with damage that severe we should still be able to restore him." Tagoma responded.
"Yes, that could work." Sorbet replied. "Dragon! I don't care what from Frieza's in, just bring him back!"
"A foolish choice, but very well." Shenron replied, a bright flash going off in the sky, chunks of white, wriggling flesh falling to the ground in front of Sorbet and company.
Pilaf, Shu and Mai watched curiously as one piece rolled over to them, the trio reacting with a startled panic as the disembodied eye opened, looking at them.
"Granted, now what is your second wish." Shenron asked.
"What? I didn't know I get a second wish."
"When earth's guardian was replaced, my powers were altered as well. Now state your wish." the Dragon growled.
"Hm, I guess we could bring King Cold back, then we'd be really unstoppable." Sorbet pondered.
Shu suddenly stepped forward, raising a fist. "We wish for-!"
"Don't you dare!" Tagoma shouted, raising his arm and leveling a ki blast at the trio.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Shu said as he, Pilaf and Mai backed away in fright.
Tagoma eyed the three of them for a moment before turning back to Sorbet. "Commander, if I could make a suggestion; I think it would be wiser to bring Cooler back to life."
"What? Why's that?" Sorbet asked.
"At the time of his death he had reached heights of power far greater than Frieza and King Cold. Considering Frieza was stronger than King Cold, we'd be at a strategic advantage if we brought them back." Tagoma explained.
"So you just want to abandon King Cold?" Sorbet asked, sending an aggressive glance at his second-in-command.
"No, Sir, of course." Tagoma said, flustered. "With Frieza and Cooler we could rebuild the Planet Trade Organization, and once it's back at full power we could return and wish King Cold back, too."
"Hm, I'll admit that's some good thinking, Tagoma." Sorbet said before turning back to Shenron. "For my second wish, bring Frieza's brother Cooler back to life as well!"
"I cannot do this for Cooler is not dead." Shenron answered.
"What? Not dead, he was defeated by the Super Saiyan's son here on Earth." Sorbet replied.
"Defeated, but not killed, his remains are adrift in space." Shenron replied, growing impatient.
"I...uh...very well...bring whatever remains of Lord Cooler here at once!" Sorbet called.
"It shall be done." Shenron answered, a bright flash going off above them as Cooler's disembodied and mangled head fell next to Frieza's remains.
"Your wishes have been granted, farewell." Shenron said as he disappeared in a flash of light, the Dragonballs rising into the sky and shooting off in different directions.
"Tagoma." Sorbet said. "Collect Lord Cooler and Lord Frieza's remains.
"Yes Sir." the purple skinned alien said after a moment of hesitation, unnerved by Cooler's piercing gaze.
As Tagoma and Sorbet loaded their leader's remains aboard their ship, Pilaf approached them, Sorbet and Tagoma eyeing him suspiciously.
"I just thought you guys would want this." Pilaf said with a nervous laugh, holding Frieza's disembodied eye to the two Aliens.
"Uh, thank you earthling, best of luck." Sorbet said as he boarded his ship, Tagoma close behind.
oOo
"What was that?" Daikon asked as they sky returned to it's normal brightness, the night-like darkness fading away.
"It was Shenron, it has to be." Piccolo said.
"You mean someone used the Dragonballs?" Daikon asked.
"Are you telling me this didn't happen in your timeline?" Piccolo inquired.
"No...and whatever this is, I have a bad feeling about it...I have to go tell the others." Daikon said.
"Hey, wait!" Piccolo called, growling in frustration as Daikon used Instant Transmission to teleport away.
oOo
Gohan, Kyuuri, Goku, Vegeta, Trunks and Pan, all in their base forms threw hundreds of lightning fast kicks and punches at Whis, the blue-skinned being easily dodging them, all while having an amused smile on his face as Beerus consumed a pizza nearby.
"That was quite close, Vegeta." Whis said after the Saiyan Prince's fist flew past his face.
"Damn, we can't even get close to him." Gohan breathed before starting forward again.
Pan flew behind Whis, wrapping her arms around him and squeezing tight. "Get away from this." she growled.
Whis simply slipped out of her grasp as Goku raced in with a kick, his granddaughter barely dodging out of the way. "Hey, watch it, Grandpa!" she called out.
"Sorry!" Goku replied with a nervous laugh before racing after Whis.
Vegeta threw a jab at the God of Destruction's attendant, the man fading to the left, Vegeta stumbling past.
"Okay." Trunks began. "I'll take his right, you go to the-"
"Got it." Kyuuri said, cutting him off and charging Whis head on.
"Close enough." Trunks grumbled before heading after her.
The two threw countless punches and kicks, Whis dodging them all with ease before both threw a straight jab, Whis fading back and waiting for their arms to cross before pulling them into each other, the two Saiyans falling to the ground.
"I think it's time we take this up a notch." Goku said with a grin, crying out as he went Super Saiyan blue.
"No point in holding back now." Vegeta responded as he did the same.
"Come, Mom and Dad, let's do this!" Pan called out as she went all the way up to Super Saiyan Blue.
"It's okay." Kyuuri said, noticing Gohan glancing at her.
Gohan cried out, he didn't have much practice with it so far, not nearly as much as his father and Vegeta, but he knew he was capable of it. With one last shout he too achieved Super Saiyan Blue, smiling at Kyuuri as he headed off towards Whis.
"Lucky them, right?" Trunks asked.
"It's annoying, being so far behind." Kyuuri answered.
"Well, no use in waiting back here." Trunks said as he let out a yell, bio-electricity surrounding him as he went up to Super Saiyan Three.
"Show offs." Kyuuri growled as she went Super Saiyan Two, charging after them.
Goku was the first to reach Whis, his blue aura flaring as he pulled back a fist and sent a powerful jab at Whis, the man simply deflecting it, Goku's fist plowing into the ground.
Beerus lunged forward, covering his food before looking up. "Hey! I'm trying to eat over here!" he called.
"Can't you do that somewhere else?" Vegeta growled.
"Well, if you'd like I can get involved." Beerus replied.
"No,no...that's fine." Vegeta said nervously before flying after Whis.
"Saiyans, always in such a rush to get stronger." Beerus said.
Kyuuri, Trunks, Gohan, Goku, Pan and Vegeta surrounded Whis, the blue-skinned being smiling in an absent minded way.
All six Saiyans let loose ki blasts at their trainer, Whis staying stalk-still, waiting until the ki blasts were within half an arm's reach before deflecting them back at their senders, knocking every Saiyan from the sky.
"Damn, it felt like those blasts were stronger on their way back." Goku groaned.
"I took the liberty of adding a small charge to each of them." Whis said with grin.
"You haven't changed at all in the time I'm from." Pan remarked.
"Ah, good to hear." Whis replied before glancing at Vegeta's chest. "Also, I took some time to sign your clothes."
Ever Saiyan looked down in unison, shocked to find Whis' signature on their shirts.
"How did you..?" Kyuuri asked.
"You were all so focused on trying to attack me you paid no attention to my movements...and therein lies the problem." Whis began. "Vegeta, you're and extraordinary fighter on your own, perhaps you've wondered why you're always one step behind Goku."
"You just had to bring that up." Vegeta growled.
"You think too much about your actions, you lose quite a bit of potential due to the amount of time you take to consider you actions before pursuing them. You walk through life with a chip on your shoulder and your nerves wound too tight to fight effectively...your first lesson is to relax like Goku does." Whis replied.
"The only reason he thinks less is because he's an idiot!" Vegeta shouted in return.
"Whis is right, I do like me a good nap." Goku remarked.
"But you have problems too." Whis said, narrowing his eyes at Goku before appearing before him and planting a fist in his stomach.
"Hey, that was a cheap shot!" Goku called as he knelt down and held his stomach.
"You are too relaxed and don't get me started on your over-confidence, you are so sure of yourself that you let your focus waver, causing you to let your guard down in battle, I've seen it many times." Whis answered before looking over at Trunks. "Yet, the opposite is true with you."
"What do you mean?" Future Trunks asked.
"I don't know much about what you've been through, but I can clearly see that your too cautious and somewhere along the line your confidence took quite a beating. You've only recently grown enough to take on the next form of Super Saiyan after being stuck at Super Sayan 2 for years...this is because you hesitate in battle, I can see in your eyes you know what action to take, but you second guess yourself and hang back."
"Hey, that's not fair-" Pan began as she took a step forwards.
"No." Trunks said. "He's right, I grew up in a world dominated by the Androids and I...I felt like I couldn't catch up to them at the time no matter how powerful I became...even though I've defeated them and grown I still can't get away from that feeling." the half-Saiyan said.
"Precisely, you need to let go of that and be more sure of yourself." Whis answered. "Take those risks and think less about the outcome...but still be aware of your enemy's strengths and weaknesses."
"Of course, thank you." Trunks replied.
"Now onto you." Whis said, looking over to Pan. "I'm not too sure what to say."
"Well, in the time I'm from, my brother and I have been training with you for years." Pan answered.
"Hm, interesting." Whis began. "Still, you suffer from the same flaw as your grandfather, your over-confidence is perhaps even greater than his, you charge in without looking, so sure are you that you're going to succeed, yet you failed to land a single blow...I may have to get in touch with my future self and tell him to dial up the training routine." Whis said with a laugh.
"Can you really do that." Goku asked.
"I have plenty of power of time, you'll come to find." Whis said before looking over towards Gohan. "I could see it on your face, the entire time I was working my way over you knew what I was going to say."
"I have an idea." Gohan replied.
"Your gentle nature is what's holding you back, while you've shown tremendous growth and otherwise impressive strength you still hold back and fail give it all your effort for fear of more grievously injuring your opponent than is necessary...which isn't what I expected from someone who was trained by your Namekian friend Piccolo and faced down Frieza as a child."
"You fought Frieza when you were just a kid?" Kyuuri asked.
"Wasn't much of a fight." Gohan answered.
"Anyway, Kyuuri, you've been waiting ever so patiently for me to come to you." Whis responded.
"So let's get on with it." Kyuuri answered.
"Your Saiyan rage gets in the way, you quickly succumb to anger and fly blindly at your opponent." Whis said, nodding his head forward. "Vegeta manages to overcome his anger yet you give into it and let it take control, limiting your capacity to learn and grow as you fight. Might I be right in assuming that when you gained your Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 forms you were in a state of emotional state in which yo didn't just feel anger bred from battle, but an anger born from concern for others?"
"Well...yes...first because Hirudegarn was going to destroy everything and second because...he threatened my family and friends." Kyuuri said, nodding towards Beerus as he came over the hill.
"What is going on over here, some of us are trying to sleep?" the God asked.
"You all have fun." Kyuuri said, levitating up before flying away.
"Oh my, it seems I may have struck a nerve." Whis said.
"It's okay, I'll go after her." Gohan said as he followed.
"Should we..?" Goku began.
"No, it's best to leave her alone...or leave her with Dad when she's like this." Pan answered.
"A shame Daikon didn't stay, I had so much to talk about with him." Whis said with a shrug.
oOo
Kyuuri touched down near a row of rose bushes a short distance away, folding her arms and closing her eyes before shifting into a fighting stance and letting out a roar, extending her right arm and loosing a massive ki blast that flew off into the purple hued sky of Beerus' world before exploding just beyond it.
"Kyuuri." Gohan said as he arrived. "Whis was just trying to help."
"It's not about that." Kyuuri said as she turned to face him.
"You mind sharing what it is about?" the half-Saiyan asked.
"I never felt like a failure of a Saiyan until I met all of you." she confessed.
"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Gohan asked.
"Did you know I never even set foot on Planet Vegeta? It was destroyed before I was born...I was born and raised on Cooler's ship. Before I could even learn from my parents Cooler had them killed because they planned to escape...I never learned how to handle that Saiyan bloodlust and because of that...I'm falling behind again." Kyuuri explained.
"I knew that...I just didn't want to press you for the details, sounds like something you'd want to forget." Gohan answered.
"I always wished a could have gotten a shot at taking down Cooler...but I'm still not strong enough." Kyuuri said.
Gohan walked forward, wrapping his arms around his wife and leaning his head against hers. "With Whis' help you'll be there in no time, I'm sure of that."
"At least Cooler and Frieza are gone." Kyuuri said.
Suddenly a loud explosion tore through air, Kyuuri and Gohan breaking from their embrace as they watched fragments of one of the many moons surrounding Beerus' world drift apart.
"What the hell was that?" Kyuuri exclaimed.
oOo
"You have to be kidding me, he did that with just a sneeze?" Vegeta asked.
"Pretty typical if you ask me." Trunks replied.
"You seem to know quite a bit about me, kid." Beerus remarked.
"You and Whis work closely with the Time Patrol, we're getting used to having to wish certain things back after you've destroyed them." Trunks answered.
"Hm, sounds like a good time...I look forward to it." Beerus answered.
"Enough, enough." Whis said. "If everybody could just stand back." he continued before tapping his staff against the ground, time winding back to the moment Beerus readied himself to sneeze. The God of Destruction tilted his head back, Whis suddenly darting in and delivering a soft blow to the God's head just as he sneezed, the resulting ki blast drifting passed the moons and off into space.
"Whoa, what was that?" Goku asked.
"I call it a Temporal do-over." Whis answered.
"A what?" Goku asked.
"A Temporal Do-Over." Whis answered. "I have the ability to go back in time to an extent. When Lord Beerus accidentally destroys something I go back to before he has done so and give him a bop on the noggin...I told you, I do have some control over time." Whis explained with a grin.
oOo
Sorbet's Ship
"It's working!" Sorbet shouted as the two regeneration tanks containing the remains of Cooler and Frieza began to bubble and shake, the remains inside beginning to expand, lost parts regrowing further and further until they began to resemble bodies, the Cold siblings quickly taking form within their tanks.
"Everyone stand back!" Tagoma called.
"The moment's finally upon us." Shisami commented as he watched the tanks begin to glow, the fully regenerated forms of Frieza and Cooler lying still for a moment before both tanks took on a red glow, twin explosions blowing the tanks apart as smoke filled the room.
The remnants of the Planet Trade Organization looked on as footsteps echoed from the shroud of smoke, their attention being captivated as two form emerged from it.
"My Lords...it is so good to have you back at long last." Sorbet said as he bowed, the other Soldiers doing the same.
"And you are?" Frieza asked, looking mildly disoriented.
"He's Commander Sorbet, formerly part of our support staff in the third stellar region, but I so fit to promote him once I took command." Cooler said.
Frieza snapped out of his daze as his brother turned, a grin growing on his face.
"Good to see you again, little brother." Cooler added.
"Cooler, what are you doing here?" Frieza asked.
"I went after the Super Saiyan and received much the same treatment as you, though I wasn't defeated quite as easily." Cooler replied.
"Why you..!" Frieza growled.
"What? You know I've always been the stronger one." Cooler answered.
"And yet father favored me, I wonder why that is." Frieza replied pointedly.
"Because your too sadistic for your own good, just like him." Cooler snapped.
"My Lords, please." Sorbet said.
"I assume you're responsible for my rescue from Earth's Hell?" Frieza asked.
"Yes, my Lord, these are my Lieutenants, Tagoma and Shisami, they are at the level Dodoria and Zarbon were at the time of the Frieza Force's peak.
"It's the Cooler Force, now." Cooler replied.
"The Cooler Force? Ridiculous, no wonder my armies haven fallen upon such hard times." Frieza replied.
"They were thriving under my leadership, in fact, they were doing better than they were under yours!" Cooler said as he started forward.
Frieza merely crossed his arms and laughed, many confused faces, Cooler's included, looking on. "It seems that in this family squabble we've lost sight of our true goal, the death of that Saiyan monkey, Goku." Frieza said, suddenly taking on a serious expression.
"As much as I loathe to admit it, I was also defeated, but not by Goku, but his son, he's become a formidable force as well." Cooler replied.
"Fine then, we'll just have to kill them all." Frieza said with a maniacal grin.
oOo
