Time has a way to make things happen.
"So then… Son Goku…" Black exclaimed, smirking wildly. "It's finally time to fight you in this body."
"To be honest, this is kinda exciting for me, too. I've always wanted to fight someone that looked like me," Goku replied, his grin growing larger.
"So, um… Are we just going to stand here and watch them?" Bill asked, looking around at the group.
"Of course. What else would we do?" Vegeta asked.
"Go help him?" Bill suggested, earning a glare from Vegeta.
Goku clenched his fist together, raising them to around his waist, before the same flame-like aura that came off of Vegeta moments earlier appear, quickly fading from while to gold, his hair following, as it spiked upwards, his black eyes turning bright teal.
"Alright, one more question," Bill said, turning towards Trunks. "How do you lot keep doing that?"
"Keep doing what, ma'am?" Trunks asked, looking over at her.
"That thing, with your hair. Making it all blonde."
"It's called a Super Saiyan. It's a transformation our race can achieve," Vegeta answered, not even turning towards the female.
"Transformation? You call that a transformation? Your hair just turns blonde. That's the most pathetic excuse for a transformation I've ever seen," The Doctor said, earning a glare from the prince.
"Well… What would you call it, Mr. Doctor?" Trunks asked.
"Just Doctor is fine, boy. And I would say it's more a technique, then a form."
"Will you three shut it? I'd like to focus on this fight," Vegeta growled, Bill taking a quick step back from the prince.
"So, Son Goku… Are you ready to face your Ultimate Enemy?" Black asked, his grin growing larger.
"I wouldn't exactly call you my 'ultimate' enemy. I mean, Frieza was pretty strong last time I fought him. And Lord Beerus is even stronger than that, so…" Goku replied with a shrug, Black glaring at this.
"Just shut up, and fight!" Black ordered, Goku smirking.
"Now you're talking!", the saiyan exclaimed, before charging towards his doppleganger, rearing his fist back.
Ducking to the side, Black smirked, sending his fist flying into Goku's gut, the saiyan spitting up blood as he was sent flying back, grabbing his chest in pain. Using this moment, Black rushed Goku, sending a sharp kick to the latter's face, before spinning around, kicking Goku away, chasing off after him.
Taking to the air, Vegeta and Trunks quickly followed after the two, Bill looking around. "So… are we not going to follow them?" she asked.
"And what need would you all have of that, now that I am here?" a voice said, everyone turning as two new figures made their presence known.
The first was a tall, thin man, with pale blue skin, white hair, and a large, light blur ring around his neck. He wore a maroon robe, with a black cuirass overtop of it, white and orange diamonds decorating it, and a blue sash around his waist. In his right hand was a long scepter, with a gem floating above it.
Next to him was a shorter, cat-like being, with golden yellow eyes. He was thin and bony, standing about the same height as Goku. He donned black, blue, and gold, Egyptian-like attire, the same diamonds appearing on his clothes.
"Ah, Whis! You made it!" Bulma cried out, smiling.
"Of course," the taller figure, Bill assuming to be Whis, said, "After all, you promised to have a meal prepared if we came as soon as possible. Though, it seems you all are busy with guests."
"Yes, well, no matter. We're here to eat, so eat we shall," the cat-like figure said, yawning.
"Well, uh, of course! I'll make you a great feast after all this is sorted out," Bulma said, chuckling, Bill strolling over towards the cat.
"Hm? Is there something I can help you with?" he asked, obviously not enjoying being stared at.
"It's just… out of all the creatures I've seen with the Doctor, I've never seen a giant, hairless cat before," Bill said, Bulma quickly running over, placing her hand over Bill's mouth.
"What are you doing? That's Beerus the Destroyer! Anger him, and the Earth goes boom!" Bulma whispered into Bill's ear, Bill's eyes widening at that.
"Giant hairless cat… Is that what you think I look like?" Beerus asked, a purple aura starting to form around him.
"Oh crap," Bulma said, taking a step back in fear.
"I don't like your tone… Guess it's time to fulfill my duties as a God of Destruction," Beerus said, raising his palm towards Bill and Bulma, before the Doctor spoke up.
"Excuse me, Mr. Beerus, sir, but what my companion means, is that you are royalty," the timelord quickly lied, Bill giving him questioning look, before nodding, realizing what he was doing.
"Royalty? She called be a hairless cat. How is that royalty?" Beerus asked, eyeing the Doctor.
"You see, we are from a different planet, and on my friend's planet, there's a giant statue of a cat, that represents one of their gods. And that cat has no hair," the Doctor explained, Beerus thinking for a moment.
"Well, alright. If she didn't mean any harm by the remark, then I'll let her, and the Earth, have a pass this time," he said, before narrowing his eyes at the timelord. "But another questionable remark, and this planet is dust. Literally."
"Yes Sir!" Bill quickly said, before Beerus turned back towards Whis.
"Now then, Whis, let's see how Goku's doing, shall we?" the god asked, Whis smirking.
"Of course, my lord," the attendant said, tapping his scepter on the tiled ground. As soon as he did so, a large green, holographic image of the battle appeared, everyone turning to watch it unfold.
Goku smirked, his hair spiking up even more, lightning crackling around his body. "Ya know, this is really amping me up!"
"It has the same effect on me, saiyan. Now let's continue!" Black exclaimed, before charging towards Goku, sending a fist toward's the saiyan's face.
Bill stared in awe, watching the two doppelgängers battle one another, as the Doctor turned away from the fight, pulling out his screwdriver.
Aiming the device at the large rift in the sky, the Doctor activated his beloved tool, scanning the distortion. Frowning, the Doctor scanned it once again, before scratching his head.
"Something wrong, Doctor?" Bill asked, looking over at him.
"These readings.. It's time travel, but not like how the TARDIS travels," the Doctor replied, Whis and Beerus both looking over at him as he said this.
"Time travel…" Beerus muttered quietly, Whis nodding.
"So, what does that mean, Doctor?" Bill asked, walking towards him.
"It means he's using a different type of time travel, one the screwdriver can't identify."
"Perhaps I may shed some light on that fact," Whis spoke up, the Doctor and Bill both turning towards him. "If you were to get closer, and inspect our friend's right hand, you would notice he is wearing a time ring."
"A time ring? That would explain the strange readings. Must work like a vortex manipulator," the Doctor mumbled to himself, before the rift began to emit a low rumble, Black suddenly appearing overhead, flying backwards towards it, Goku following him.
"No, no no! I can't leave yet! I'm not finished!" Black roared, trying to attack Goku once more, the rift pulling him back from the saiyan. Growling, the dark saiyan powered up a ball of yellow energy, firing towards the blue box that was sitting on the ground below.
As the blast struck, Black was yanked back into the rift, vanishing.
Hey everyone. Just wanted to apologize for these long breaks between chapters. I just got hired for a new job, and between that, and school, I haven't found time to work on any of my stories as much as I've wanted to.
But I'm going to be trying my hardest to upload chapters bi-weekly. I might be a little late some weeks, but I hope to keep a some-what steady pattern. Again, I am so sorry for these pauses, and I will do my best to stop them from happening from now on.
