A/N: Hey, everyone. Sorry I kept you waiting, but here it is. What if I were to tell you that the Saiyan in Red's appearance was the perfect segue into the Universe Survival Saga? What would your reactions be? Oh, and for those of you wondering about Vegetto's battle against Beerus, don't you worry about it. I've included this battle, too. Anyhoo, enjoy.

Dragon Ball Super

The Saiyan Warrior of Hope Saga (Epilogue)

"The Saiyan in Red Attacks!; Krillin's Fighting Spirit Rebounds"

Chapter 1

First it showed a stick-up where both Goku and 21 arrived and greeted Krillin before she quickly dispatched the two robbers (namely disarming them), and spoke to Krillin before it then showed Marron speaking to Krillin.

Narrator: "Previously on 'Dragon Ball Super'! Goku went to Krillin in search of a sparring partner."

"Uh-Oh. Mama's sayin' Dada's a wimp!", Marron commented, making Krillin gasp before Marron spoke.

"I want a strong daddy!", Marron requested, making Krillin gasp in surprise before Marron giggled.

"If you want to get stronger and be a better cop, training with Goku seems to be the best way to do it.", 21 assured.

Then, in response, Krillin chuckled before speaking.

"Okay! One strong daddy coming up! Train with me, Goku!", exclaimed Krillin as he stood up, puzzling the Saiyan.

Then, it showed Krillin vanishing and then reappearing just above Goku and the others catching them off-guard before they evaded Krillin's thrust, causing him to land in the sand before the turtle trio ran backwards onto, evading Krillin's punches as Roshi looked on before Goku knocked Krillin back to the sand with one punch before Roshi then presented a Paradise Herb to the group and they then arrive in the forest of terror only to Emily get the treacherous Saiyan in Red, who then summoned every enemy that seeks revenge on Goku from different eras.

Narrator: "However, the gap between Krillin and Goku's abilities was soon made abundantly clear. As part of a training exercise, Master Roshi sent the five fighters off to retrieve a medicinal herb, but what Goku, Krillin, 21, Videl, and Cocoa found when they arrived...were a dark, new enemy in a red hood and all the foes they had once faced!"

Spopovich then appeared, as did the evil 21, Tambourine, and Kanba, earning gasps from Goku, 21, and Videl, while Krillin panicked and tipped over backwards before the Saiyan in Red laughed evilly.

"At long last... Finally, I can wring the life...from your filthy bodies!", the Saiyan in Red exclaimed with pride.

Narrator: "The nightmarish training ordeal continues, now!"


Back on Supreme Kai's Planet, Vegetto was eating his 8 bowl of rice with curry with the Supreme Kai, Elder Kai, and Towa, when Whis suddenly appeared, catching the two Kai's by surprise.

"I'm sorry. Did I come at a wrong time?", asked Whis.

Vegetto was quite surprised to see Whis.

"All right. Why did you come here?", asked Vegetto.

"Forgive the intrusion, but I came to tell you that Lord Beerus has requested a fight with you. Do you accept?", asked Whis.

Vegetto only stared at Whis in response before he then proceeded to eat fast, drink his 4 cup of tea, clean his mouth of rice remains and tell Whis his answer while getting up.

"I accept.", Vegetto answered, earning Whis' grin before he turned to Towa.

"Hey, Towa. Can you make me a Gi similar to Jiren's based off on his colors?", asked Vegetto.

Towa then grinned before responding.

"That is an easy thing, after all, so I don't see why not.", Towa responded before she proceeded to change its clothes to red & black Pride Trooper style, earning Whis' compliment.

"It suits you.", Whis complimented before Vegetto spoke.

"Well, then. I guess we should get going.", Vegetto spoke.

Then, Towa spoke next.

"I'd like to go there, too.", Towa spoke.


Meanwhile, back on Earth, Goku & company were completely surrounded as the Saiyan in Red floated in the air. At that point, Krillin was hollering in fear as Frieza, Majin Buu, and Tambourine we're chuckling as were Vegeta and Nappa, Cell, King Piccolo, Spopovich, the Ginyu Force, and the Evil 21 while Kanba just growled.

Goku grew puzzled as Krillin stood up.

"Hey, what are these guys doing here?", asked Goku before the Saiyan in Red answered.

"Like I told you; I summoned them from different eras to exterminate you!", the Saiyan in Red responded before he then shot out two more dark crystals, summoning Dabura and Raditz as well, shocking Krillin even further.

"What is this place? What is this place?!", Krillin panicked.

"This is your grave! One of which you can never escape!", the Saiyan in Red shouted.

However, Goku hasn't lost his touch.

"Aw, come on, take it easy, Krillin.", Goku spoke.

Then, Majin Videl attempted to prove Goku's point.

"Yeah. Those guys are obviously illusions, aren't they?", Majin Vodel added as she was about to brush Spopovich aside before he grabbed her by the hand with a dark grin, shocking her as she exclaimed in surprise before the Saiyan in Red spoke otherwise.

"Want to check again?", the Saiyan in Red mocked before Spopovich punched Majin Videl to a tree, worrying the others.

"Videl!", Goku, Cocoa, and 21 shouted.

"Are you all right?", asked Krillin.

Then, Majin Videl got back up.

"Yeah, Krillin. I'm fine. I guess how the pain felt coming from him was nothing compared to last time now.", Majin Videl assured.

"Yeah, but there's no chance it could be the real him, right?", Krillin asked before the Saiyan in Red once again proved otherwise.

"Once again, you're wrong. He's just as real as I am. In fact, they all are.", the Saiyan in Red chuckled.

However, Goku still thought otherwise.

"Uh-uh. There's no way Spopovich would be here. He even got blown up by Babidi a long time ago.", Goku disproved.

"As I said before, I summoned those villains from different eras to take your life. Are you honestly that dense?", the Saiyan in Red retorted.

Then, Frieza dashed for Goku and Krillin first before both evaded just in time for the Ginyu Force to charge toward them as well.

"Come on, guys! Let's take these guys down and get out of here!", Goku shouted before Kanba attempted to strike Goku with a dark energy beam, only for Goku to dodge it, considering what happened the last time. "If we don't, we're never gonna find that herb!"

Krillin, having known that there was little to no choice, had to agree.

"Yeah, I can try.", Krillin assured before he noticed Nappa trying to pound him before kicking him in the face.

Then, at that moment, Tambourine then charged toward him, making him flashback to a time when he killed Krillin from a simple tap on the forehead with his foot, petrifying him before the enemy missed him. Afterwards, he ran into Frieza, flashing back to a time when Frieza killed him with Death Psycho Bomb before Krillin panicked, rolled underneath his arm before it could strike a hit, and then bump onto a tree before noticing Super Buu and flashing back to a time when he turned Krillin into chocolate and ate him. Then, Krillin encountered another conundrum when he crawled away and then bumped into Dabura, flashing back to when he turned Krillin to stone, although he was fortunate to have survived when Dabura was defeated later. However, that did not ease his panicking as Dabura was about to strike Krillin down before Goku kicked him away in the face.

"Krillin, I can't do this alone! You gotta fight, too!", Goku urged.

"Yeah, but these guys are...", Krillin began before 21 interrupted.

"Look, I know they're your worst enemies from the past, but you need to get over your fear at some point, or else we won't survive, let alone find that Paradise Herb.", 21 urged before Kanba then roared as he came crashing down, although fortunately, Kanba missed Goku, 21, and Krillin before he stood up with a growl before Majin Videl and Cocoa arrived.

"Hey, guys. What'd we miss?", asked Majin Videl.

Then, Kanba gave a dark growl before his evil energy sparked outwards, giving off a tiny dark spark, quickly covering a pointy tree with a dark red aura before the tree then turned into Majin Buulma, who then opened her dark red eyes with black sclera and an evil grin, worrying Krillin before Goku and 21 spoke while Majin Videl and Cocoa gave their two cents.

"Whoa, that looks just like Buulma.", Goku commented.

"Except it's not really her. That must be Kanba's dark magic taking effect on this illusion.", 21 added.

"Yeah. There's no way Buulma could be that evil.", Majin Videl agreed.

"And does she even look like that?", asked Cocoa, puzzling Majin Videl as she gave a nervous grin.

However, the Saiyan in Red quickly found the fact about Kanba's dark power made relevant amusing and chuckled loudly.

"It seems I'm not the only one capable of such magics!", the Saiyan in Red shouted proudly as Kanba growled and stepped forward alongside the evil Majin Buulma, urging Goku and the others to prepare themselves while Krillin was hollering in fear.


Back at Master Roshi's house, Roshi was contemplating on something when Baba arrived on her crystal ball, prompting Turtle to turn around and notice her.

"Ah, sis! I appreciate you doing this.", Roshi complimented before Baba spoke as she hopped off her crystal ball.

"It ain't charity. My fee's 10,000,000 Zeni.", Baba spoke, practically making Roshi bummed.

"I see you're just as money-grubbing as ever.", Roshi commented before Baba turned to her crystal ball.

"Fine, I'll just put it on your tab.", Baba assured before she then activated her crystal ball, which showed Krillin panicking, puzzling Goku and his three friends.

"What's the matter, Krillin?", Goku asked.

"This is a pretty bold move in your part, taking drastic measures like this.", Baba admitted before 18 spoke up.

"What do you mean 'drastic measures'?", asked 18 before brother and sister, and Turtle, of course, turned to notice 18, who was carrying Marron, and Majin Buulma.

"Yeah, what's going on you guys?", asked Majin Buulma before Roshi and Baba turned to see them.

"Oh, uh, hey there, ladies. What's up?", greeted Roshi.

"Ah, it's you. The wife. Worried about your Hubby, eh, dearie?", asked Baba to 18.

Then, both 18 and Buulma walked over to notice Krillin cowering at the sight of the evil Majin Buulma, puzzling the real one.

"Hey, wait. Why is Krillin scared of me?", puzzling Buulma before Roshi spoke under his breath.

"I think you know the answer.", Roshi spoke, only earning an angry shout from Buulma, shocking him.

"What do you mean by that?!", Buulma shouted before 18 also noticed Kanba alongside the evil copy.

"Buulma, I think you better take a look at this.", 18 warned before Buulma saw the crystal ball and noticed Kanba next to the Evil copy of herself.

"Wait. That's Kanba. What's he doing here?", asked Buulma.

Then, 18 noticed someone else.

"I think that's something you might want to ask him.", 18 answered before Buulma noticed the Saiyan in Red laughing menacingly, puzzling her.

"Okay, I give. Who on Earth is that guy?", asked Buulma before Roshi then gave his answer.

"I think we may have a hijacker on our hands here.", Roshi theorized, puzzling the group while Marron saw Krillin running away from Kanba, who barely missed him.

"Oh, no. Dada's in trouble. Hey, Dad. Why aren't you fighting back? Knock their blocks off!", Marron shouted.

"I don't think that's a good idea. If Kanba's dark energy so much as touches him, he'll fall under his evil spell. And when that happens, what do you think will happen now?", warned Buulma, worrying Marron.

"What are we even watching here?", asked 18.

"That there is the Forest of Terror.", Roshi replied.

"Well, that sounds ominous.", Buulma commented.

"It's a place nestled somewhere between our world and other world, which gives form to the memories that haunt the deepest recesses of our hearts. The formal rivals you see gathered together here are the memories of Goku, Krillin, 21, Videl, and Cocoa's past battles embodied.", Baba explained.

"They're what?", asked 18 before Roshi explained.

"But that man in a red hood was no memory. Seeing him here for the first time gives us enough proof that he's come here on a personal mission to destroy Goku and the others before they get the paradise herb. The only question is...why?", added Roshi.


Back at the Forest of Terror, Goku and the others were being chased by the Ginyu Force, Kanba, and the evil Majin Buulma.

"Geez, these guys just don't give up! Hey, Krillin! Let's take 'em all out with a Kamehameha from above!", Goku urged as Kanba growled with the evil Majin Buulma chuckling.

"Whoa, wait! I can understand Kanba, but you mean even Buulma?!", Krillin panicked.

"We just said that's not really her, Krillin! I thought that was clear!", 21 shouted in response before the group flew into the air overhead and then prepared their Kamehameha's.

"You ready to do this, guys?", asked Goku.

"Right!", Majin Videl, Cocoa, and 21 shouted while Krillin was somewhat hesitant.

"Uh, yeah.", Krillin responded before both cupped their hands together and prepared blue Kamehameha's, pink for Majin Videl's case.

"Oh, please forgive me, Buulma!", Krillin shouted.

"How many times do we have to go over this, Krillin?!", Majin Videl shouted in response as Kanba and the others closed in on them.

"HAAAAAAAA!", the group of five shouted before firing a pink and blue Kamehameha, destroying the illusions of the Ginyu Force while Kanba was quick to create a dark energy barrier to defend himself from the blasts as everyone else, including, Frieza, Raditz, Tambourine, Nappa, Vegeta, the evil 21, and the evil Majin Buulma vanished with chuckles.

After that, Kanba landed back on the ground further away from Goku and the others and gave a low growl as Goku and the others landed back on the ground with Krillin panting.

"You okay, Krillin?", asked Goku.

"You need to pull yourself together.", 21 urged.

"Okay.", Krillin replied before Majin Videl spoke.

"All right. Let's go back to the race for the Paradise Herb.", Majin Videl stated.

"I just hope those guys don't come back.", Krillin admitted.

"You and me both, Krillin. Dealing with that creep in a red hood is one thing, but dealing with that many foes from the past? That's almost enough to make me wet myself.", Majin Videl admitted.

"Man, that was so much fun, wasn't it?", asked Goku. "Never thought we'd get to fight any of them again."

Then, Krillin began to snap at Goku.

"You know, I really thought I had a handle on your personality.", Krillin began, puzzling Goku, while Majin Videl got the point.

"I think what he's trying to get at is that not all of us should be as excited as you right now.", Majin Videl answered, puzzling Goku even further.

"What do you mean?", asked Goku.

"How can you be in such a good mood right now? Time and time again, those monsters all terrorized us! As if that wasn't bad enough, that creepy Saiyan in a Red hood began terrorizing us as well by sending them in from different eras! Frieza, Majin Buu, and even Tambourine, they all killed me!", Krillin shouted before panting, Goku still puzzled.

"Hey, buddy, are you sure you're all right? I'm kinda worried.", asked Goku.

Then, after a moment, Krillin had reached a decision, slightly peeving Goku.

"I'm leaving.", Krillin decided.

"What about the herb? The old timer's waiting for it.", Goku asked as the Saiyan in Red watched under the cover of darkness.

"This kind of thing isn't fun for any of us the way it is for you.", Krillin retorted.

"Yeah, but I thought you wanted to get stronger like me.", puzzled Goku.

Krillin, however, restated his point.

"If it means having to go through all this, well, then, I don't care about that anymore.", Krillin rebuffed.

"Well, what're you gonna do when some bigger, badder guys like that Saiyan in Red show up? You won't be able to fight.", Goku warned.

"Then, I guess I won't be fighting.", Krillin spoke adamantly, peeving Goku.

"Aw, Krillin.", Goku groaned before Krillin then had to state the reason why.

"I'm scared. I...", Krillin began before tending and then eventually snapping loudly with an echo.

"I'M NOT LIKE YOU, OKAY?! I'M JUST NOT LIKE YOU!", Krillin shouted with an echo, shocking 21, Majin Videl, and Cocoa while Goku was still puzzled.

However, that also angered the Saiyan in Red as he tensed with a growl and thought to himself.

"If there's one thing I cannot, and will not, stand, it's weakness!", the Saiyan in Red thought.

Meanwhile, Goku grew puzzled before Krillin began to blush before he then flew off with Goku and the others catching up.

"Wait, come back here! Yo, hey, Krillin! Can't you hear me? I said 'wait'! Dude!", Goku shouted to Krillin, who just continued flying away.

However, that was the last straw for the Saiyan in Red before he raised his right hand and shouted, catching Goku and the others by surprise.

"YOU FOOOOOOLS! NO ONE LEAVES THE FOREST OF TERROR AND LIVES TO TELL THE TALE!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before clutching his right hand into a fist, causing the spiky trees to begin blocking the way out.

"Great, now what?", asked Goku before the exit was completely blocked out.

"Uh, what's happening?", Krillin asked.

"That Saiyan in Red. He must be the one blocking the way out.", 21 guessed.


Then, down below, the Saiyan in Red turned to Kanba.

"Kanba, you know what to do.", the Saiyan in Red spoke before Kanba growled and then began emitting a dark red aura before flying up, his dark energy turning some spiky trees into giant versions of the defeated villains while the Evil 21 popped up.

"You again?!", 21 shouted in surprise.

"Miss me?", the Evil 21 responded before Krillin spoke.

"Oh, no! They're back!", Krillin shouted.

"Yeah, and this time, they're giant-sized.", Goku commented before the giant King Piccolo then grabbed Goku with his hand and then pulled him away.

"Goku!", Krillin shouted before the giant Tambourine then punched Krillin, worrying Goku.

"Oh, no! Krillin!", Goku shouted before turning Super Saiyan and then punching the giant Super Buu and the giant Nappa.

"Outta my way!", Goku shouted as he did so before dashing toward Krillin.

"Krillin!", Goku shouted before he was stopped by Kanba as he stopped in front of him before Goku halted himself to avoid touching his energy.

"I said GET OUT OF MY WAY!", Goku shouted as he then turned Super Saiyan God, shocking Kanba, reminding him of his history with Yamoshi, while Majin Videl, 21, and Cocoa grew surprised.

"What is that form?", 21 asked.

"That's Super Saiyan God.", Majin Videl sighed in relief as an answer.

"What's that?", asked Cocoa.

"I'll explain later.", Majin Videl assured before Goku turned to 21 and the others.

"Videl, you go see if Krillin's okay! 21, Cocoa, you just make sure to fight off the rest of these guys!", Goku shouted.

"Right!", the two girls nodded before Cocoa then grew into the same size as the other three giants while 21 prepared to fight her evil self.

"Looks like it's just you and me, now.", the Evil 21 smirked.

"I was about to say the same thing.", 21 responded.

Meanwhile, Goku spoke to Kanba.

"How about we just get on with this fight already!", Goku shouted before Kanba gave a short growl and then replied.

"Very well, then.", Kanba responded.


Elsewhere, as Krillin was falling, Majin Videl quickly caught up and saved him before he started getting back up.

"So, Master Roshi, are you seriously not gonna let us out of here until we finish this so-called errand?", Krillin asked before Majin Videl spoke.

"Hey, don't blame him. If there's anyone who deserves it, it's that creepy guy in a red hood.", Majin Videl retorted as Krillin stood back up before he reappeared.

"I don't like what you're saying about me behind my back.", the Saiyan in Red spoke, surprising the duo before he then shot out dark crystals which merged with the mountains and reformed into the same past enemies, but bigger, worrying Krillin.

"Man, I just can't get rid of these guys!", Krillin shouted before the giant Frieza swung first, prompting Krillin and Majin Videl to evade before the giant Tambourine then swung his hand at Krillin, hitting him and alarming Majin Videl.

"Krillin, no!", Majin Videl shouted before the Saiyan in Red reappeared in front of Krillin before preparing his Dark Cannon at point blank range.

"NOW, DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before blasting Krillin at point blank range, earning his screams of pain as he was careening down into a big gap as the Saiyan in Red laughed darkly and loudly as Majin Videl then dashed for Krillin down the gap.


Meanwhile, Marron was really worried for her father.

"Dada!", Marron shouted.

Majin Buulma then began tensing from the scene as Roshi hmm'd and Baba spoke.

"This is turning into quite a show.", Baba admitted.

"It's not a show! It's a nightmare! I can't let this fight go on any longer!", Buulma shouted before starting to fly off, puzzling Roshi.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!", Roshi shouted.

"I've gotta stop that creep for good! If I don't, everyone will die!", Buulma shouted, making Marron gasp with worry before she began shedding tears and then begin sobbing lightly and quietly as 18 spoke.

"This is in poor taste.", 18 commented.

"Are you saying you don't think he can take it?", asked Roshi.

"You heard what Buulma said. You even saw what that creep in Red just did to Krillin.", 18 jeered before Roshi grew puzzled.

Then, Marron stopped her light sobbing as best she could before asking.

"What was Dada doing?", asked Marron.

"Well, right now, Dada's fighting a battle with himself, and trying to survive an even greater one with that creep in a red hood.", 18 answered, worrying Marron again before the Saiyan in Red's shout was heard through a crystal ball.

"I know you're down there, you pathetic weakling!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before he then chuckled and then spoke in a more calm, yet still just as sinister tone.

"And I'm gonna find you.", the Saiyan in Red finished.


Chapter 2

At the Forest of Terror, Majin Videl popped out of the water with the barely alive Krillin carried by her.

"Come on, Krillin! Just hang in there!", Majin Videl urged.

Later, atop a big rock near the end of a waterfall, Majin Videl just finished healing Krillin before he stirred awake and saw her.

"Oh, thank goodness you're all right.", Majin Videl sighed before Krillin got back up.

"Huh? Videl?", asked Krillin before Majin Videl giggled in response.

"Hold on. Was I really dead just now?", asked Krillin before Majin Videl responded.

"You could've been, but you're not.", Majin Videl replied with a smile before Krillin laid back down and sighed in exhaustion.

"I am such an idiot.", Krillin sighed, puzzling Majin Videl as she blinked her eyes.


Meanwhile, on Beerus' Planet, Beerus was yawning when Whis suddenly appeared with Vegetto and Towa, catching his attention.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Vegetto. It certainly has been a while from our little one-punch contest.", Beerus greeted.

"Well, the difference between then and now is that a real fight will start right.", Vegetto responded.

Whis then turned to the Oracle Fish.

"If you don't mind my asking, why is Lord Beerus suddenly interested in fighting Vegetto?", asked Whis.

"I kinda told him that Vegetto would be his greatest rival.", Oracle Fish responded, earning Whis' response.

"I see.", Whis replied.

Towa then decided to correct them.

"Although, technically, Beerus would see Vegetto as a rival only after he would get defeated without a doubt. In fact, that would be something that would force Beerus to train more seriously.", Towa spoke.

Then, Vegetto starts by turning into Super Saiyan Rosé and takes off towards Beerus and tries to punch him, but his fist wound up caught by Beerus' hand.

"You know, that is quite the power from a punch if I struggle with it.", Beerus commented. "I still can't believe how powerful you've become by siding with Towa, by getting Super Saiyan Rosé, which was a counterpart of Super Saiyan Azure."

"Why, thank you. I got this form when Towa made a transfusion of energy from the other Zamasu into me. Added bonus, I also made sure to condense the divine energy into a ball like this one so that energy as divine as this won't leak out as long as I'm focused with positive emotion, like when I was fighting Yurei for the sake of a good fight.", Vegetto spoke, surprising Whis from that mention before he did just that and then turned into a purified form of Super Saiyan Rosé, known as Super Saiyan Quartz, much to Beerus' amazement before he turned to a Towa.

"You know somethin', Towa? You're quite a rare genius for finding an alternate way to give me the divine energy I needed.", Vegetto complimented, making Towa blush before she then spoke back.

"Well, you are quite a remarkable warrior since you've done what Goku and Vegeta were only able to do in 3 months on a short time.", Towa complimented back.

Then, Piccolo pitched in.

"You know, he also managed this feat through meditation, which would explain why he was able to turn Super Saiyan Rosé, let alone Quartz, in the first place. I think it's safe to say he's a fighting genius because he adapts, reinvents himself, and evolves even further than any of us. In that case, it may make him more perceptible to working together only if a situation calls for it.", Piccolo commented.

Then, to begin the battle, Beerus then proceeded to throw Vegetto back, causing him to flip and land on the grass by his feet. However, Vegetto hasn't lost his smirk as he then clenched his left hand, focusing the divine energy required as it turned red before he pointed it toward Beerus.

"Heat Seeker.", was what Vegetto spoke calmly through his smirk before launching 5 energy balls at Beerus, who then proceeded to swat one away only for it to explode and burn his hand, making him yell in pain before running over to the lake and then cooling it off in the waters as he then sighed in sweet relief.

Afterwards, Beerus then dodges the other energy balls only to find that they were converging after him, surprising the destroyer. Then, he had to dodge again while also noticing out of the corner of its eye that Vegetto was leading the balls with his fist and smirking as he sent the energy balls straight toward him, this time with only 3. However, Beerus managed to spin out of the way before they could explode, prompting Vegetto to use Instant Transmission to get close enough to Beerus and kick him toward the energy balls, causing them to explode on contact as a result. Once the smoke cleared, it showed a battle-scarred, singed, and very angry Beerus. He had so much rage in him that he then roared in anger as he raised his claws, ready to slash Vegetto, who was actually prepared for that as he dodged the claws gracefully and led him toward a lake before suddenly getting hit in the back by the last energy ball, which exploded and burned his back, making Beerus yell in pain. Vegetto then appeared in front of Beerus before punching him in the gut, forcing him to double over and strike back twice as hard, only to be knocked into the waters of the lake with Vegetto's swift punch. Then, he emerges from the water with a smirk.

"If it's any consolation, you gave me quite a good fight, but now, it's time to show you what happens when I get serious.", Beerus warned.

Vegetto only smirked before both rivals dashed toward each other with punches and kicks blazing before both blocked each other. Then, Vegetto swept Beerus' feet from underneath and tried to punch him only for Beerus to catch his punch with his leg before throwing him towards the lake. The Saiyan fusion only managed to stop himself from falling by powering up before Beerus then appeared right in front of Vegetto and land as many punches on Vegetto's gut, making him double over, before Beerus then punched Vegetto in the face, sending him crashing into he waters of the lake. Beerus, however, knew that the fight was far from over.

"Come on out! I know a big punch like that couldn't keep you down forever!", Beerus shouted before Vegetto emerged with a crimson light around his Super Saiyan Quartz form as his veins were bulging out of his muscles.

After that, Vegetto quickly appeared in front of Beerus before punching him in the gut twice as hard, making him cough out blood, before then striking him in the head, following in pursuit and then preparing one of his signature moves.

"SUPER GALICK GUN!", Vegetto shouted before firing it at point blank range to Beerus, who was yelling in both surprise and agony before the blast detonated, sending Beerus crashing to the waters of the lake.

Although, Beerus did survive, he was apparently knocked unconscious and shown to be floating on water as he was bleeding, worrying Whis.

"Oh, my goodness! Hold on, my lord!", Whis panicked as he hurried over to him before he began healing him.

Meanwhile, Vegetto then powers down, dropping out of his apparent Kaioken boost, before Towa spoke.

"All right, how much did you use?", asked Towa.

"Simple. I used the x20 one from the start.", Vegetto replied before Towa kissed him on the cheek, surprising him.

"Hey, what was that for?", asked Vegetto out of bewilderment.

"That was my congratulations to you.", Towa replied, making Vegetto smile before turning to Whis.

"Hey, Whis! If Lord Beerus wants a rematch, Towa would be more than happy to bring me back here to beat him a second time.", Vegetto assured before he and Towa vanished in a flash of red light just as Beerus was stirring, getting Whis' attention.

"Hey, Whis. What just happened?", asked Beerus.

Then, Whis noticed that Beerus was getting better now and sighed in relief before speaking.

"Well, you see, my lord. What happened was that Vegetto gave you more than a run for your money with the Kaioken x20.", Whis explained, baffling Beerus.

"What? He really beat me with that much power? Heh. No wonder he's my greatest rival.", Beerus spoke in amazement as he stood up.

"So, what are your plans now, my lord?", asked Whis.

"Well, first off, after the big summit, I'll go have a 15-year nap, on account of, the fight was more intense than I ever expected. Then, afterwards, I'll train myself to get even stronger than in that fight we just had. I'd say I'm pretty clear-headed, don't you agree, Whis?", asked Beerus before Whis grinned.

"Well, it certainly is nice to know that you're thinking ahead, my lord.", Whis grinned.


Back at the Forest of Terror, elsewhere, Goku bellowed as he then turned Super Saiyan Azure, much to Kanba's frustration before pushing him back while the giant Cocoa blasted the clones to stardust as 21 turned the Evil 21 into candy, seeing as she was left with no choice before clutching her with her fingers. However, Kanba only stood up straight as he growled before Goku grew puzzled.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why'd you stop?", asked Goku.

"You're no longer worth my time.", Kanba responded before he up and left, peeving Goku.

"Hey! Rude!", Goku jeered before 21 spoke to Goku.

"Uh, Goku. Look over there.", 21 pointed before the trees glowed white and then began to reform back into the past enemies from before.

"Jeez, there's no end to this.", Goku complained as he scratched the back of his head before he got in a stance.

"All right. No more playing around.", Goku spoke before he then went Super Saiyan Sapphire, suddenly causing the giant villains' eyes to glow completely white, puzzling Goku, Cocoa, and 21 before they all grew bigger, much to his surprise.

Then, Goku has an idea.

"Wait. I think I figured it out.", Goku spoke, puzzling Cocoa.

"Figured what out?", asked Cocoa before Goku then powered down to his normal form and then took a deep breath eventually before a calm wave emerged from the water and the giant enemies suddenly disappeared, giving 21 an idea as to what happened while Cocoa was amazed as she shrank back down to normal, but still remained in her second form.

"Whoa, what just happened?", asked Cocoa before 21 explained with a grin.

"I think I get it now. They keep reappearing because we keep exerting our energies, but the moment Goku dropped his energy, the clones vanished because of it.", 21 guessed.

"Really? You think that'll work?", asked Cocoa before 21 nodded.

"Ha-Ha! That's it! Just as I thought!", Goku spoke with a grin.

"So, you've figured it out, have you?", the Saiyan in Red spoke before suddenly reappearing in the air, surprising, and slightly angering, Goku and his two friends.

"You. What are you even doing here?", asked Goku.

"I must say I'm impressed you've managed to figure that one out. To that I say, 'congratulations'.", the Saiyan in Red responded as he clapped his hands in a mixed speed between normal and slow before he stopped clapping and continued. "But time is not on your friends' side."

Goku then knew who he was getting at.

"Wait. Are you talking about Krillin? And Videl, too? What have you done to them?", asked Goku.

"Why, I did them a favor and opened their eyes. Alas, they never had the fortitude for such strenuous trials like you and the others did, so consider yourselves lucky. You can try and save them if you like. Or don't. Either way, it will make crushing you all the more gratifying. And I'll be waiting, Goku.", the Saiyan in Red replied before vanishing.

Goku was still puzzled on one thing.

"Huh? Wait, how does that guy know my name?", asked Goku.


Meanwhile, Marron saw what happened.

"All the bad guys disappeared.", Marron spoke softly.

"Well, well. Looks like Goku, Cocoa, and 21 finally figured it out.", Roshi spoke.

"Wait, he figured what out?", asked 18.

"Keep watching. Let's see how long it takes Krillin and Videl to catch on. The sooner they do that, the sooner they can beat that no-good, Red-hooded hijacker of a Saiyan.", Roshi assured.


Meanwhile, Videl was looking around as Krillin tensed a bit before standing up.

"Hey, easy, Krillin.", Majin Videl warned.

"Phew! Aw, thanks, Videl.", Krillin sighed before she then noticed several Friezas and Spopovich's in one place and gasped as did Krillin.

"How many times are they gonna keep reappearing?!", Krillin exclaimed before the Saiyan in Red suddenly appeared and answered.

"Simple. Until you die.", the Saiyan in Red replied loudly, scaring Krillin while peeving Majin Videl.

"Excuse me, mister! That was a rhetorical question!", Majin Videl shouted.

"Who cares what it is? The way I see it, a question is just that: a question.", the Saiyan in Red retorted before preparing another Dark Cannon, scaring Krillin as he also noticed even bigger Frieza's.

"Speaking of which, you have no right to question me!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before firing it at Videl, only for Krillin to jump in the way, earning his pained screams, catching Goku's attention as he heard from far away.

"Krillin!", Goku shouted.

"It's that creep! He must be torturing poor Krillin right now!", Cocoa guessed.

"I know, and it's all the more reason we have to go after him.", 21 concurred before Goku realized a problem.

"Aw! If only I could fly to him now. But if I try to fly, those guys'll show up again.", Goku worried before he then thought of another idea.

"Ooh, I know. Hey, flying nimbus!", Goku shouted.

Play Super Music: "Omen of Victory"

Then, a cloud with a straight end passed by, impressing him as it did Cocoa and 21.

"Whoa.", Goku spoke before he chuckled as it swirled around him before stopping.

"Man, I'm surprised it still works.", Goku admitted before 21 and Cocoa were curious.

"Uh, what is that?", asked 21.

"Yeah, it looks so cute.", Cocoa added.

"Oh, that. That's the flying nimbus. Wanna ride with me?", asked Goku.

"As if we had any other choice.", 21 responded before Cocoa nodded in agreement.


Meanwhile, Roshi was quite impressed.

"Whoa, now that's usin' the old noggin.", Roshi commented.

Meanwhile, Goku was singing for a bit as 21 and Cocoa giggles with laughter.

"🎵Cha-La Head-Cha-La🎵", Goku sang as before the trio hopped on.

"All right, nimbus. Let's jet!", Goku shouted before they then headed off.


End Super Music: "Omen of Victory"

"Hey, Krillin! Videl! Where are you?!", the trio shouted, not only catching the Saiyan in Red's attention, but also Majin Videl's.

"Huh? Wait. It's Goku! 21! And even Cocoa!", Majin Videl beamed with hope.

"Tch! I should've known Goku would figure a way around my trap. But on the other hand, it doesn't really matter, does it? They still won't make it in time to save you.", the Saiyan in Red discouraged as the Frieza's then turned into Tambourines, then Cell's, and then Napa's while the Spopovich's turned into Super Buu's and Kanba arrived next to the Saiyan in Red.

"I don't get it, Master Roshi. Why did you send that guy to make me fight all these villains again?", asked Krillin.

"I don't think Roshi would send anyone as crazy as that guy in a red hood, Krillin.", Majin Videl assured.

"First off, I'm not crazy. That is a direct insult. And second of all, I just came here in my own jurisdiction, biding my time to restore my powers for 1,000 years and be ready to bring balance to the Multiverse.", the Saiyan in Red replied, surprising the duo.

"Wait. You're an ancient Saiyan?", asked Majin Videl.

"What I am is none of your concern.", the Saiyan in Red only responded.

Then, Krillin snapped out of his fear before he then became brave.

"You want me to face my past? All of those losses and the humiliation? Fine. I will face them down, especially that Saiyan in Red! And I will win!", Krillin shouted.

"Yes, that could happen, or you will die trying.", the Saiyan in Red discouraged before turning to Kanba. "Kanba, fight alongside the Nappa's and Super Buu's against these weaklings, and whatever you do, show no mercy."

Then, Kanba growled in agreement before turning Super Saiyan and dashing toward the duo, surprising them.

"What the heck?!", Krillin exclaimed.

"He can turn Super Saiyan, too?!", Majin Videl exclaimed before the enemies closed in as well, following Kanba before Krillin then used a familiar move, but not before warning Videl.

"Cover your eyes, Videl!", urged Krillin.

"Huh? But why?", asked Majin Videl.

"Just do it!", Krillin shouted before Majin Videl covered her eyes and Krillin then followed through on his attack.

"SOLAR FLARE!", Krillin shouted before blinding both Kanba and the Saiyan in Red while it had no effect on the clones.

"What's with these guys?!", Krillin shouted.

"I don't know, Krillin, but at least it worked on somebody.", Majin Videl spoke as the bright side as both Kanba and the Saiyan in Red's eyes were closed and both were groaning in frustration.

"Don't just stand there! Kill them!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before the assault continued but not before Krillin prepared another attack.

"Destructo Disc!", Krillin shouted as he prepared a disc on one hand and the giant Nappa charged in before tossing it, cutting him off before the bottom showed a bright white energy, giving Krillin an idea.

"Wait. That energy.", Krillin realized.

"What about it?", asked Majin Videl before the two halves came back together.

"Hang on, don't tell me. They're feeding off my power.", Krillin realized.

"Tch! So, you did figure it out, after all. Unfortunately for you, that knowledge won't save you or your friend.", the Saiyan in Red snapped before he then shot a beam at Krillin, prompting Majin Videl to shove him out of the way and get frozen in place the way Frieza did to Krillin on Planet Namek, surprising him.

"What? Videl, what are you doing?!", Krillin exclaimed.

"Just calm down, Krillin! Everything's gonna be fine!", Majin Videl assured before Krillin then knew that if he just calmed down enough, Majin Videl might survive as he then began meditating.

"How touching for your final words, Earth girl.", the Saiyan in Red responded before he then lifted Videl up in the air, surprising her as the big Nappa's closed in on him while Krillin imagined himself at a calm field with a couple of birds and water slowly dripping out from a tree trunk before it hit the pond just before it showed the Saiyan in Red then closing his right hand as hard as he could the way Frieza did.

Then, Majin Videl suddenly began puffing up slowly in body fat, making her body shape resemble that of Majin Buu's and then stop, surprising and puzzling her as it did the Saiyan in Red.

"Huh? What just happened?", asked Majin Videl.

Meanwhile, the Saiyan in Red was shocked and furious as he tried closing his hand tightly and repeatedly before realizing it had no further effect.

"What? That technique's not working?! But...how?!", the Saiyan in Red exclaimed before Kanba stopped his assault and then turned to notice that the big Nappa's have frozen as did Majin Videl and the Saiyan in Red while Krillin opened his eyes and stood up.

"Look! The big Nappa's are frozen.", Majin Videl spoke to Krillin.

"It worked. Once I've cleared my head and calmed down, the big Nappa's stopped moving altogether.", Krillin began.

"Yeah, and it saved me from exploding. Although, granted, it made me put in a lot of weight up here.", Majin Videl added.

"Makes sense, 'cause the more afraid I became, the bigger they kept getting, and the more there were.", Krillin realized.

"See? That's the spirit, Krillin!", Majin Videl spoke as she then landed gently down beside Krillin the way Buu landed on one foot before she then planted the other foot on the ground as well.

"I get it now, Master Roshi. If I don't overcome my fear of the past, I'll just keep running from it.", Krillin spoke.

Then, the pudgy Majin Videl had the same message as well as she nodded before both glowed an intense white aura with both hands glowing as well, surprising the Saiyan in Red as Kanba looked on with intrigue.

"What?", the Saiyan in Red puzzled.

"I've gotta control my energy. If I can do that, they won't be able to move.", Krillin spoke.

"I got the message, Krillin. Now, let's see what these new powers can do!", Majin Videl exclaimed with glee as she then dashed toward the big Super Buu's and Krillin dashed toward the big Nappa's, Kanba, and the Saiyan in Red, who was seething with rage.

"You little ingrates! Kanba, destroy them all!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before Kanba charged toward Krillin, who quickly retaliated with a swift punch.

"All right, time to meet the new me!", Krillin shouted before he struck a blow on Kanba's mouthguard, not only damaging him, but also chipping it off as well on the left, revealing a scar on his cheek before Kanba growled.

"All right! My turn!", Majin Videl shouted before punching away the Super Buu's and Spopovich's while Krillin did the same for the big Nappa's, earning the Saiyan in Red's angry growl.


Meanwhile, Marron was quite joyful to see that.

"Yay, they did it!", Marron shouted with glee before 18 gasped in surprise.

"Ah, good, they figured it out!", Roshi responded.


Meanwhile, the Saiyan in Red was rather frustrated.

"Tch! It seems we'll have to think of a new plan. Kanba, use the artificial moon to destroy them!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before Kanba growled in agreement.

However, Krillin knew what that meant as Majin Videl grew confused.

"Wait, artificial moon?", asked Majin Videl.

"I know what's going on. He's a Saiyan and he needs that artificial moon to transform into a giant ape.", Krillin replied, shocking Videl.

"What?! They can seriously change into giant apes?!", asked Majin Videl.

"Yeah, but only if they have tails like he does, and this one might be the toughest of them all, so we'll have to watch our backs with this one.", Krillin responded before Kanba quickly prepared an artificial moon before launching it to the sky and strike the trees before it expanded into a full moon and shine brightly as the Saiyan in Red shielded his eyes.

Then, Kanba's eyes glowed completely red before he then quickly grew into a Great Ape/Super Saiyan hybrid with a roar, although both his clothes and his mouthguard were still intact as Majin Videl and Krillin braced themselves.

"Hmph! You two actually proved yourselves this time, so we'll spare you the pain we shall bring upon Goku.", the Saiyan in Red assured before shooting at the moon to prevent himself from turning into a giant air as well before he and Kanba vanished, surprising them.

"Huh? Why'd they just vanish like that?", asked Majin Videl.

"I don't know, but my best guess is that they're heading for Goku and the others! Let's hurry!", Krillin urged before the still pudgy Majin Videl nodded.


Meanwhile, Roshi knew that something has to be done about Kanba and that Saiyan in Red.

"Now for one last push.", Roshi spoke.

"What're you gonna do?", asked 18, earning Baba's chuckle.

"Just keep watching.", Baba urged as she moved her hands near the crystal ball before it glowed yellow.

Meanwhile, Goku, 21, and Cocoa were on the flying nimbus when they still searched everywhere for Krillin.

"Krillin! Where are you?!", Goku shouted before Great Ape Kanba and the Saiyan in Red suddenly appeared, surprising the trio.

"What the heck was that?!", Goku shouted before Kanba then grabbed Goku, 21, Cocoa, and the flying nimbus and then began crushing them the way Vegeta did as a Great Ape when he and Goku first met a long time ago, as the Saiyan in Red laughed boldly, only this time, the pain from being crushed was just as tight as getting a bear hug, as Kanba then growled in front of his victims.

"Aw, Great! Now Kanba's a giant ape monster, too?!", Goku exclaimed before the nimbus began shaking.

"Hey, hang in there, nimbus buddy!", Goku urged before 21 and Cocoa.

"From here on out, I think being crushed like that are the least of our problems!", 21 exclaimed as she grunted.

"Yeah, it's almost as tight as a hug!", Cocoa added before Kanba broke his mouthguard apart and then roared, firing out a flame breath at Goku and the trio, singeing them like Goku to barbecue from when he trained with Gohan in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"Ooh! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!", Goku exclaimed before the fire breath ceased, revealing Goku, 21, and Cocoa all dirtied up from the flame breath comically, while the Nimbus remained unscathed.

"Ugh! Oh, wow! Your breath really burns, pal!", Goku exclaimed.


Meanwhile, Krillin and Majin Videl arrived on foot before noticing a surprising sight.

"Hey, Goku!", shouted Krillin.

"You guys okay over there?!", shouted Majin Videl.

"What's up, guys?!", Goku greeted.

"Yeah, Videl! We're okay!", 21 assured.

"We're just in a tight squeeze, is all.", Cocoa added before Krillin and Majin Videl then looked up and saw the Great Ape Kanba holding Goku, 21, Cocoa, and the Nimbus tightly with his hands.

Play Super Music: "Universe 7 in Trouble"

"You fools are too late! In mere moments, they'll be utterly crushed beyond repair!", the Saiyan in Red laughed boldly.

"Well, can't say I haven't been crushed before. Still wasn't pretty good, though.", Goku admitted.

"Well, what's the hold up? Can't you at least shake him off you with a blast?", asked Majin Videl.

"Yeah, prob'ly, but a blast like that would take out Nimbus, too.", Goku replied.

"Wait, Nimbus?", both Krillin and Majin Videl puzzled before it showed Nimbus wigging out next to Goku, 21, and Cocoa.

"Well, don't worry. We're coming to save you both!", Krillin assured before he then started calming down and taking a deep breath.

"Whoa, are you sure?", Goku asked before the Saiyan in Red only laughed loudly.

"You honestly think you pests can save them?! You're nothing! Kanba, destroy them all!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before Kanba then roared and shot out a massive flame breath toward Krillin and Majin Videl.

Elsewhere, 18 grew very worried for them.

"Oh, no! Krillin! Videl! Look out!", 18 shouted.

"They'll be fine down there, no need to worry. Krillin and Videl are just trying to rise above themselves, that's all.", Roshi assured, puzzling her.

"What do you mean?", asked 18.

Meanwhile, both Majin Videl and Krillin both emitted a powerful white aura before exhaling.

"Here goes!", Majin Videl shouted before she held the flame breath back, shocking Kanba and the Saiyan in Red.

"Impossible!", the Saiyan in Red shouted in surprise.

"Now, Krillin!", Majin Videl shouted.

"Okay!", Krillin exclaimed before he then hopped upward and then yelled out before striking Kanba in the snout, causing him great pain before he unwittingly released Goku, 21, Nimbus, and Cocoa as the three fighters landed on Nimbus just before Super Shenron suddenly emerged and then wrapped itself around Great Ape Kanba, trapping him and surprising the Saiyan in Red as he exclaimed in shock.

"That was awesome, Krillin! Nice catch, Nimbus.", Goku complimented before nimbus then landed Goku and the others safely on the ground before leaving.

"Thanks for rescuing us.", Goku gratified.

Then, 21 pulled out the evil 21 in the form of a cupcake, puzzling Goku.

"Uh, what are you doing?", Goku asked.

"Right now, that guy in the red hood left me no choice.", 21 responded before eating the cupcake while and then powering up to adopt the same skin color as her evil self, except that she still had her normal eyes and personality intact, surprising Goku and the others.

"Whoa! Check you out! Now you really look the other Android 21.", Goku commented.

"Well, she and I were originally one and the same, so that should go without saying.", 21 responded.

Then, Great Ape Kanba roared in anger before the Saiyan in Red grew furious as well.

"You insolent fools will pay for this!", the Saiyan in Red shouted as he began preparing a Dark Cannon while Kanba began preparing a dark red Great Ape Beam.

"All right, let's do this.", Krillin stated.

"Sure thing.", Goku agreed before turning Super Saiyan Sapphire as Krillin and Majin Videl then powered back up as well with the newly-powered up 21 and Cocoa joining in with both preparing their Kamehameha's.

"Ka...Me...Ha...Me...", the group began before Kanba then roared and shot out a dark red beam.

"DISINTEGRATE INTO ASHEEEEEES!", the Saiyan in Red shouted as he then fired his Dark Cannon.

"HAAAAAAAA!", the group shouted as they thrusted their hands forward, firing the same blast that bested Broly's Omega Blaster before the combined blast then quickly disrupted the two dark beams, shocking the Saiyan in Red and Great Ape Kanba.

"What?! Th-they're beating me?! B-But...how?!", the Saiyan in Red exclaimed in shock before the Kamehameha then struck both the Saiyan in Red and Great Ape Kanba.

"Y-you... insolent... UPSTAAAAAAARRRRTS!", the Saiyan in Red shouted in pain as he was seemingly being disintegrated before Great Ape Kanba roared as he was being disintegrated as well before the blast hen struck the artificial moon, destroying it completely before they turned into little balls of light that burrowed into the ground and sprouted forth the Paradise Herb, astounding Goku and the others.

End Super Music: "Universe 7 in Trouble"

"It's the paradise herb!", Krillin exclaimed.

"Sweet! Just the kind of plant we needed!", Majin Videl exclaimed in joy as she lost weight and went back to normal body weight.

"Check it out, guys. They're sprouting up like weeds.", Goku commented as the Paradise Herb began sprouting more and more.

Then, Majin Buulma suddenly shouted for them.

"Hang on, guys! I'm coming!", shouted Majin Buulma.

Then she stopped before she panted.

"All right, where is that creep in a red hood?! I'll pound him into the ground for this!", Buulma shouted before Goku stopped her.

"Hey, take it easy, Buulma. We already took care of that guy.", Goku assured, making her feel silly.

"What? Wait, you mean to tell me that you guys were being picked off one minute, but you survived the next?", asked Buulma.

"Yeah. That's what it sounds like.", Goku agreed before Buulma sighed in exhaustion and relief.

"Thank goodness.", Buulma sighed before noticing 21's new look. "Hey, you look different."

"Well, it's kind of a long story.", 21 responded with a nervous giggle before reverting back to her normal pink skin in her Majin form.


Meanwhile, Marron was joyful and happy for her father's success.

"Did you see how strong he was?", asked Marron.

"Yeah.", 18 replied with a smile before both Roshi and Baba chuckled.


Meanwhile, Goku and the others were heading back with all the Paradise Herb.

"So, that's what happened before I got here.", Buulma realized.

"Yep.", Cocoa agreed as Majin Videl nodded.

"That is true.", 21 concurred.

"The old man's gonna be floored when he sees how many we got.", Goku guessed.

"Hey.", Krillin began, puzzling Goku. "So, that ability you have to stay positive and keep smiling no matter what comes your way or how bad things get, well, that's the real strength I want for myself."

"Oh, really?", Goku puzzled.

"Which is why I decided to become a fighter again. For my own sake. Heh. Okay, and I want my daughter to be proud of me.", Krillin continued with a grin.

"Well, I don't see how that's impossible. I'm sure 18 and Marron would be impressed with the display you put up just now.", Majin Buulma assured, earning a chuckle from Krillin.


Later, he was surprised to see his wife and daughter here.

"What are you doing here?", asked Krillin before 18 then brushed Krillin's Haru with her hand and then put it around his head.

"18.", Krillin spoke before Marron ran over to him.

"Daddy! I saw you, and you were so strong and brave!", Marron exclaimed with joy.

Then, Krillin turned to see Roshi and Baba chuckling. Then, 21 spoke aloud.

"Well, you have those two to thank for that. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have gotten as strong as we are now.", 21 spoke.

"You watched me the whole time?", asked Krillin.

"We did.", 18 responded.

Then, Roshi took a look at all the Paradise Herb.

"Hot dog! You boys really outdone yourselves.", Roshi exclaimed.

"Yeah, we really didn't compete against each other, though.", Goku responded.

"You don't say. In that case, guess I won't be teaching either of you the secret to Super-charging your energy.", Roshi spoke, peeving Goku.

"You're just gonna keep it all to yourself?", asked Goku.

"Heck, if something like that actually exists, I sure do hope somebody tells me about it.", Roshi stated, shocking Goku as Majin Videl then began growling in anger as Goku and 18 spoke their reactions.

"What? There's no secret?!", Goku exclaimed.

"So, what you're saying is, you were just wasting their time with this?", asked 18 before Majin Videl snapped.

"YOU LIED TO US, YOU OLD PERVERT!", Majin Videl shouted, taking Master Roshi aback.

"No! I mean it's...", Roshi began before Krillin interrupted.

"It's not like that, guys.", Krillin assured, puzzling the company.

"It's about controlling our energy. Isn't that right, Goku?", asked Krillin before he agreed.

"Yeah. That's right. Once we calmed down and reigned in our energy, Frieza and the rest just disappeared.", Goku concurred.

"That's what Master Roshi wanted me to get out of this all along. Somehow, you knew everything that I needed.", Krillin spoke, slightly flattering him.

"Why, of course, I did.", Roshi laughed with a fib.

"I wouldn't go so far as to say he knew everything.", Baba warned before 21 took her point.

"Well, she is right about that. He didn't even know about that guy in a red cloak.", 21 concurred, shocking Roshi before he fell backwards, making Majin Videl laugh.

"So, you don't even need these herbs, do you?", asked 18 as she felt them before Roshi proved otherwise.

"Well, I wouldn't say that.", Roshi responded before swiping it from 18 and eating it, surprising the company, Goku, most of all.

"Jeez, you look like a cow, old man!", Goku commented before Roshi gave a prideful yell.

"Wow, talk about an energy boost! I feel you get already! I could live for a thousand years!", Roshi shouted.

Then, Baba had to suck the joy out of it.

"Well, you'd better. It might just take you that long to pay off my assistance fee in full.", dulling Roshi down.

"Aw, why couldn't I have a sister who likes to help for free?", Roshi groaned, earning Goku and friends' chuckles before Krillin spoke to him.

"Hey, Goku.", Krillin began, puzzling Goku.

"Huh?", asked Goku.

"Looking forward to continuing our training.", Krillin spoke with a smile, earning Goku's grin as he shook hands with him.

"Good.", Goku spoke.


The next morning, Marron was giggling and running around when she noticed Krillin getting a haircut and ran k we just as 18 finished up.

"There. All done.", 18 spoke before she then took the blanket off Krillin just as Marron ran over to him and grinned.

"Wow! It's so smooth!", Marron exclaimed with joy as a Krillin rubbed his head.

"You think your old man looks cool, Marron?", asked Krillin.

"Super cool!", Marron exclaimed as she hopped around with Krillin chuckling before Goku called out to him.

"Heya, Krillin!", Goku greeted, prompting Krillin to notice not only him, but also Goku, 21, Majin Videl, and Cocoa.

"Hey, what's up?", asked Krillin.

"We gotta do some training and we're gonna need a partner. How'd you like to spar with us again?", asked Goku.

"Count me in. There's just one thing.", Krillin began, slightly leaving Goku puzzled.

"Oh, yeah? What is it?", asked Goku.

Then, Krillin turned to face him completely with a smile.

"No turning Super Saiyan on me.", Krillin stated before laughing.


Play Super Music: "Humiliating Defeat"

Meanwhile, the Saiyan in Red suddenly appeared near a glacier, panting out of breath in agony.

"Curse these...wretched upstarts!", the Saiyan in Red angrily shouted before slamming his fist against the ice, causing it to crack apart before they then stopped before he spoke further.

"How was it possible for them to beat me when I was so close to my full power?!", the Saiyan in Red shouted before he then panted before taking a deep breath, taking in the cold, brisk air as well.

"I hate to admit it, but it's obvious that I acted rashly back there. After all, I'm certain I can wait a little longer.", the Saiyan in Red assured himself as the snow fell off and showed a frozen Saiyan inside, sleeping in the ice.

"It took me 1,000 years to restore my full power, and I will destroy those pests if it takes me 1,000 more, let alone a mere 15.", the Saiyan in Red plotted before turning to the frozen Saiyan.

"And when I do, you might not like the Multiverse you'll wake up in.", the Saiyan in Red spoke before he chuckled and then vanished, leaving behind footprints, which were quickly covered by the snow being blown in by the wind.

A/N: And there you have it! The Saiyan in Red will return in the Universe Survival Saga. And guess what? It actually takes place at the same time "Dragon Ball GT" started, but this time 15 years after this saga's end! Pretty cool, isn't it? Also, there's a special character that I plan on adding to, let's just say, celebrate "Dragon Ball Super: Broly", and I trust you'll all know who. If you have any ideas for how the Universe Survival Saga should begin, bearing in mind this new piece of info, lend me your ears. Until next time. :)
