A Year's Worth of Training! Time to Meet the Other Universes!
Weeks passed by, as the Fighters of Universe 7 began to train, amongst themselves...
On King Kai's Planet, Son Goku had taken his best friend, Krillin, and his wife 18, and her brother 17 to train with them. There, they kept their training up, and had practically moved there. They did not speak of how much they trained though, or exactly what it is was like.
Vegeta had taken Raditz and Trunks, and the three often used the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but when Bulma Briefs, Vegeta's wife, finally had their second child, Vegeta gave up training, to take care of his wife, and newborn daughter. Trunks and Raditz then partnered up with Tapion and Pikkon, but Raditz was taken under the wing of Whis in the last two months, and when Vegeta decided to return to training, he sparred with the lower class warrior to test the fruits of his training. They went into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for their match...
Trunks, Tapion, and Pikkon trained hard with each other, the two Swordsmen particularly formed a friendship, as they found a similar interest in blades, awhile Pikkon sometimes jumped in to provide them diversity, between his own training.
Besides just Raditz, the Angel Whis provided training to the human fighters, Yamcha, Tien, Roshi, and Krillin, whenever Krillin wasn't training with Goku. Even the Android Siblings jumped in to train with them, at times.
With the assistance of Mr. Satan, the Mythical Majin Buu had his own training plan... Consisting of many squats, push ups, and even a diet! Although when hearing about the diet, it took going to a Cheesecake Factory to calm him down... Although, his training and dieting did prove to be successful! Majin Buu became lean, and bulky! No longer was the "Fat Buu" nickname true... Now, he was... "Fit Buu."
Excuse me, are we sure that's not just a typo-
FURTHER ON, Gohan and Piccolo would train together, just as they should! But unfortunately, Gohan's training was constantly being put off, as Piccolo's father, the Demon King, forced his son to train with him more, instead of the Half Saiyan...
Forced apart, the villains trained in pairs... Janemba and Freeza, one of the groups, the splitter of the evil four that had been brought back to life. Freeza and Janemba trained in secret, and Freeza threatened anyone who dared to try and train with them, that he would sick his new pet on them, no matter their importance to this Tournament. Indeed, even to his own brother, Freeza would have no other living life form know of their training...
While, Meta Cooler and Cell trained by themselves... But due to Coolers... Inorganic state, training was difficulty, and growing in power was slow, which in turn, did provide Cell with adequate training at all. The Bio Android seemed not to mind, however, as he put more effort into helping Cooler than himself... Perhaps because of his ego, or perhaps... Because of his plan...
Pikkon sort of just went around, training with almost the entire group, save for Freeza and Janemba, but had generally come to be liked by most of the team, friends with them all.
And thus, Universe 7's team had their year of training, and it was soon time... For the Tournament of Power to begin.
"Why aren't they out yet? How long has it been?" Beerus demanded, as he stood atop the lookout, his attendant Whis next to him. He was talking to Earth's Guardian, Dende, who had Trunks, Tapion, and Pikkon with him.
"I'm not sure. He should be out... Its been hours out here... Months in there." Dende replied, as the group stood outside of the Time Chamber.
"Well they'd better hurr-" Beerus was interrupted, as the door to the chamber opened, squealing on its hinges.
Vegeta, beaten, bruised, and battered, in his Super Saiyan Blue state, limped out, carrying some sort of furred beast carcass over his shoulder.
"Namekian... Get over here and heal us..." Vegeta spat out blood from his mouth, on the Lookout's marble ground. He then tosses the creature he held onto the ground.
"Heal us... Or we'll both die." Vegeta said, as he fell on the ground, passing out, face down.
Minutes later, Vegeta and Raditz were healed, Raditz being the one who was covered in red fur.
"What the hell did you two do to each other?" Beerus asked, as the two fighters sat next to each other on the ground of the Lookout.
"We fought as hard as we could, for seven straight months..." Raditz answered, as he stood up. Vegeta stood up as well, and pat the beastly Saiyan on the back.
"Raditz closed the gap between our power... He must've trained harder after I stopped, to help out Bulma with Bra." Vegeta complimented Raditz, leaving the God of Destruction baffled. Beerus raised an eyebrow.
"Since when did you get so friendly and supportive, Vegeta?" Beerus questioned, and Vegeta just chuckled, and shrugged.
"Been spending too much time with Bulma and my kids to be upset, I guess." Was all Vegeta had to offer for an answer.
"Well, anyways... We're going to be late, if we don't hurry along now." Whis reminded everyone.
"Alright then, let's go." Beerus grasped the belt of his Angel, and the group all took off, flying to Capsule Corporation to meet up...
At Capsule Corporation...
Most of the fighters had arrived, meeting up at the same place they had a year before...
The only ones missing were Goku, Krillin, Android 17, Android 18, Freeza, and Janemba.
The villains, Cell, Cooler, and Piccolo Daimao stood off to the side, all looking at everyone from the outside of the group.
"Where is Goku?" Gohan asked, as Vegeta, and the rest of the crew from the lookout landed.
"And why does Raditz have fur?" Yamcha inquired.
"Call this form Super Saiyan Four. It takes no stamina away, so I can live the rest of my life in this form, essentially." Raditz told everyone.
Just then, Goku, Krillin, 17, and 18, all appeared, having Instant Transmission'd from King Kai's world.
"Hey guys! We're back!" Goku announced. 17 walked up to Bulma and Vegeta, the latter of which was holding his baby daughter in his arms.
"I just wanna thank you again, for sending your son Trunks to help with my park." 17 told them.
"No problem! Goten and Trunks probably need a distraction anyway... But what about Marron? Have Krillin and 18 found a babysitter, or something?" Bulma spoke with the Cybernetic Park Ranger.
"No, actually, since Marron started training with us at King Kai's, they wanted her to help the boys out with the park... Having three strong children protect animals... It seems like a good idea." 17 Answered.
"Of course, we can't have them participate in the tournament... They don't have enough experience, and they certainly wouldn't be able to handle the responsibility of all of existence being at stake..." Vegeta got in the conversation.
"I hope they have at least some adult supervision." Bulma chimed in.
"Oh, Chi Chi is also helping out with the park, so she's there to keep an eye on the three kids." Android 17 said.
"That's good." Bulma sighed, as she took Bra from Vegeta, gently. The baby girl began to cry though, so Vegeta spent a minute calming her down, as Android 17 walked back over to the main group.
"Well, brother? You've avoided me this entire year... Do you even care about me? Am I nothing to you?" Raditz demanded, as he stood behind Goku.
Goku didn't bother turning around, just his head turned, looking at Raditz, his own brother, looking at him, his eyes holding a dangerous anger, disgusted.
"Don't kid yourself, Raditz. You're far less than that."
But before Raditz could reply-
"Oh, hmm? Did we come in at a bad moment? Janemba and I can continue our training, if that is so." Freeza and Janemba flew down, standing in front of all who were assembled here.
"No, no. The Tournament is about to begin, its good that you're here. Everyone! Shut up, and hold hands. We're heading out!" Beerus yelled at everyone.
There was plenty of grumbling, and a lot of complaining from certain people... Cell and Vegeta mostly.
It took a whole minute, but all twenty fighters eventually held hands, and Whis tapped his staff on the ground, a bright shining light appearing, as he stood in the middle of the circle.
"Universe Seven is ready for the Tournament of Power." The Angel announced.
The bright light enveloped the fighters... And they all vanished... Leaving Bulma, holding the infant Bra. She looked up in the sky, the beautiful stars shining...
"Everything rests on all your shoulders... Give it your all... And come home." She whispered.
"You're late, Beerus." Was the first thing Universe 7 heard, as they were brought to the Tournament's stage. It looked like a top, with a huge pillar in the middle.
The one who had spoken, was a God of Destruction. He looked... Like a clown.
"Belmod..." Beerus muttered something under his breath, probably a curse.
"You're lucky. Zeno must really like that accursed Saiyan from your universe, the one that started all this... The one that put all the universes in danger." Belmod walked up to Beerus, his own Angel, another one of Whis' sisters, Marcarita, behind him.
"Lords Belmod and Beerus... Please make your way to the stadiums bleachers, outside of the stage. Lord Beerus, take your fighters with you." The Grand Priest appeared before them, a small smile on his face.
"... Yes, sir." Beerus grit his teeth, glaring at Belmod. He gestured for his team to go, and he walked off, jumping up, and flying to the place he would sit at, and watch the first round.
The Grand Priest flew up, back to Zeno's Palace, where the two Kings of All sat, watching everything with interested eyes.
"Now! The first round of the Tournament is Universe 11, fighting Universe 10!" The Grand Priest spread his hand, gesturing to the two groups on the stage...
"Universe 11! Its fighters are..."
"Toppo, Pride Trooper, and God of Destruction in training!"
"Dyspo, the Bolt of Justice!"
"Rabanra, the Darkness with an Inner Light!"
"Kale, the Princess of Justice!"
"Their Leader, Jiren, the Ultimate Hero!"
The Grand Priest continued to rattle off names, for the fighters of Universe 11... Until all twenty had been named.
"Now, for Universe 10! We have..."
"Obuni, the Multi Fighter!"
"Their Leader, Go-"
A voice interrupted the Grand Priest...
"YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID!" Trunks, of Universe Seven, screamed, as he drew his sword. Tapion, one of his allies, held him back.
"Trunks! What's the matter!?" Tapion asked.
Universe Seven all looked at the fighter Grand Priest was about to announce... Shocked.
"Its... Its him..." Son Goku muttered, as he stared down at Universe Ten's Leader...
A man that looked completely identical to him... Wearing a Black Gi...
"As I was saying... Universe Ten's Leader, behold... Goku Black!"
