I do not own the Dragon Ball franchise.
Enjoy!
It's been several days since the ending of the tournament, hospitals found themselves packed, filled with injured fighters from across the universe, not even the doctors and nurses had been spared from the onslaught of injuries, since they themselves entered so they weren't only treating other people wounds but their own.
But despite the pain and how those in medicine found themselves worked to the bone to keep up with the demand, it was totally worth it, many of those who came out of the hospitals had the biggest smiles on their face with looks of pure satisfaction, knowing they had taken part in the biggest tournament in this universes history and had done their towns or themselves proud.
That is, until they started feeling the familiar itch to fight something.
The eight who survived long enough to secure their spots found themselves in much higher quality beds than the one's they were used to along with a congratulations fruit basket, along with receiving the best medical attention the universe had to offer to nurse them back to full health.
They would be undergoing vigorous training until the King of All tournament approached and speaking of training.
Radis, the ruler of Universe 12, found himself being hurled out of the window at a speed that him almost fainting and was about to crash into a bolder, when he was suddenly stopped by a arm grabbing the back of his clothes.
"Awake now, you brat?" Thanatos said, nobody was around so this was pretty much their relationship. "If you don't get a move on, your champions will leave."
And Radis didn't have to be told twice.
Ch 17: The place that only champions can enter.
Radis, appeared in front of a very startled group of people, so suddenly that he was sure he caused one or two heart attacks in the room, he had given them all them instructions of where to go, he looked around at the faces who quickly composed themselves once their surprise had passed.
"Welcome my champions" He said, acting like he had been here this whole time and hadn't been sleeping two minutes ago, he was two hours late. "I see, that not all of your wounds have healed" looking at the human beings especially, those who had a bandage or several, wrapped around multiple body parts. "No matter, I'm sure your all eager to learn what I have to say on this fine morning"
And nobody said anything.
"Well, congratulation. You all have made it to the top eight in the whole universe, from now on, you will be the face of this universe and as the faces of this universe, nobody here can afford to slack off when it comes to train" He said, everyone ignored the whine from a certain Saiyan prince, who wanted nothing better to do than go to sleep, it was too early for his liking. "So without further ado, I present to you your training ground" he got out a long stick and tapped underneath them.
Silence echoes, before they all felt the ground above them shake, and to their shock, they were lifted off the floor and into the sky, all the champions realized too late that the sky above them was fake and were fully expecting to crash through it, so imagine their surprise when they suddenly found themselves in front of golden gates.
"Please follow me" He said, and they did, the gate parted for them and they were all shocked to see how massive everything was, everything was divided into 14 different planets, 8 planets were used for training, each one had a regenerative system planted in it's very core so no matter how much gets destroy it would always grow back, it saved a lot of money on repair costs.
Not only that, but the other planets were equipped with a twenty four hour, relaxation spa and eight whole massive mansions, equipped with servants ready to take care of all eight of them and their needs.
They were all understandably shocked, well Absalom was pretty much used to this but he was shocked that he would be living in the same quality as back home.
"This will be your training ground" Radis said, with a smile, before he said. "Well, this won't be permanent, this will last until the end of the tournament, I can always revoke any of your rights to this place, if I deem even one of you not worthy enough to train here. When that happens not only will this places very existence be erased from my mind but you will be forced to train like a regular person while your fellow teammates live it up in here, so please do be careful."
And everybody suddenly looked serious, if Radis-sama himself was going to bestow upon them something that they would only dream of, than they wouldn't waste it.
"Oh and before I forget" He said, before tapping his stick to the ground once more and they all found something flying towards them, upon further inspections, they all found they were ID's.
"This place can only be accessed by a champion or a few gods such as myself, if you lose them, I will not give you another one, so hold onto it like it's your life" He said, before he disappeared.
They all looked at each other before curiosity got the better of them and they all went to explore, but within minutes they would be fight amongst themselves, training but the question was, would they have the sense to move it to the eight empty planets?
Radis didn't really care either way since it wasn't his problem, but the god he assigned to take after care of what he named 'The Champion Area'.
"How long do you think it would take for them to find the Hyperbolic time chamber?" Thanatos said, directly opposite him, they both suddenly heard a very large boom coming down from below, before followed by loud steps and lots of shocked gasps and squeals before finally they started fighting on who would have the honour of training in the chamber first.
"I think that just found it" Radis said, highly amused.
"But was it wise to give them your spear one?" Thanatos said, "Your very free when it comes to this"
"I have to be, it's because I want our universe to dominate the rest and if that mean's given them all this to make them look like gods compared to the rest than so be, besides it's only for a bit, this whole thing will be over once, Universe 12 is crowded the best out of the rest."
"and what, if Universe 12 ends of up losing to one of the rest?" Thanatos said, only to get an extremely annoyed looks.
"Do you really think, any other universe can match generation after generation of nothing but intense fighting? A fighting, that's has stopped evolving since the moment I changed the universes situation?" Radis said, sounding offended. "Goku, lost to his own son and it wasn't even a fight from what I hear and look at all their power levels right now." universe 7 top fighters cards appeared right in the middle of table for his guardian to see.
But he was in for a shock.
Radis paused before than blinking owlishly at the numbers both Goku and Vegeta were sporting.
"...that's interesting" He said.
"Indeed"Thanatos said, Saiyans had the annoying gene's of growing stronger with each defeat. "Who would thought, that they would get this far under the god of Destruction Beerus? Although our god of Destruction is much stronger than Universe 7 one. Who do think, is stronger, our Kakarot or Goku? Saiyans in that universe do have the annoying habit of hiding their power level"
"Don't know, but it would be an interesting fight" Radis said, reading what was revealed on Goku's card and saying. "Right now, he's nowhere near our champions powers level on a really bad day. No doubt, this will increase as time goes on, maybe he wouldn't lose right off the bat and would actually put up a fight"
"I do hope so too" Thanatos said, "It would be no fun if we win so easily, the rest can't even match up to Goku and Vegeta power level except for a few that have troublesome abilities"
"Troublesome indeed" Radis said, wondering how his Champions would handle it, it would be very interesting to watch. "Anyway I'm hungry"
"you know, would it kill you say please" Thanatos said.
"Fine, please. I'm hungry." Radis said, he hadn't forgotten who this was, the only reason the being was even his guardian in the first place was to bat off boredom, there was no doubt in his mind that the man would go on a killing spree if he felt like it.
He just hoped it was in another universe, instead of this one, it was a pain cleaning up after Death, so that no damage was done.
His guardian went and got the food, minutes later he returned with a feast, fit for ten nobles when in reality he was going to eat it all.
"So good!" He said, as he went straight for the turkey, his tastebuds exploding with each chew, who would have thought that Death was such a brilliant cook?
The entity put Bulma's own cooking skills to shame.
And then best of it was, there was so much of it!
BOOM!
They both turned to find one of the planet exploding before reforming itself back together.
"It looks like they've started fig-I mean training." Radis said, with smirk, seeing lots of bright lights before explosion after explosion happened. "I do wish they weren't so loud when doing it, though" he said.
"We don't have to stay here. We could always go back home, it much quieter" Thanatos said.
"But it's good to see what my champions are up once in a while, sometimes the palace is a little too quiet, it's enough to drive anyone insane being stuck there for centuries" Radis said, taking a bite of purple lobster and finding it was quite delicious.
BOOM!
"It's like were close to fireworks, except for whole planets are the one's doing the exploding" Radis said, looking into the distance.
"You know brat, your not getting out of training by trying to distract me" Thanatos said and Radis know he was busted.
"Drat, I thought this would work" He said.
Several weeks passed in pure bliss, before a guard showed up informing him of the date of the tournament, the man seemed absolutely bewildered, when fights broke out right in front of him at pure random with little no reason behind them.
Before a little fear appeared, when he sent his sights on Thanatos, who was highly amused by the spell of fear coming from the man's very soul, well he was completely used it.
He would collect this man's soul in seven year time.
The date turned out to be in two years from now, which they were all bummed about, that the fighting didn't start right now.
But two years went by surprisingly quick and before they know it, a golden space train came for them.
Every single of them were surrounded by members of their family wishing them good luck.
Radis was amused to see a mini 18, who couldn't have been more than six years old, hugging her big brother and giving a kiss on the cheek.
Knowing all their friends and family would come and visit them, eventually.
Although there were several scary family members on their cases of winning all their matches by force.
Radis, wouldn't mention any names.
It was the last call and all the challengers went in one by one onto the train after giving their final goodbyes to their families.
Within minutes the train sprung to life and left in a flash of bright light, leaving Radis and Thanatos behind along with a bunch of people.
Like they would use the same transportation as mortals.
In a second, they were gone, traveling at a speed faster than the train itself.
All over the twelve universe similar trains were taking challengers to one destination.
The King of All domain.
Where the biggest battle of their lives would take place, with the honor of each of the 12 Universes at stake.
And as all the trains reached their destination and all of there doors opened.
Universe 1-11 were shocked to feel an enormous amount of bloodlust coming from Universe 12 train.
A demon had entered a den of lion.
And scene!
Next chapter, the challengers are in and the first test is a written exam! Goku and the others finally get a good look at the Universe 12 fighters and several are shocked to see familiar faces amongst the crowd. Review/ Fav and follow!
