Gohan panicked "We got to go and get them." He immediately put his hand to his head.

Supreme Kai "I don't think that's going to help Gohan."

Gohan snarled he wasn't really listening "Why can't I find them!"

Old Kai sighed "For starters you're in the otherworld, for second's they have a shield around them. That battlecruiser is built with you and Chi-Chi in mind."

Gohan thinking quickly "Wait does that mean Kibito and Shin can get me over there."

Supreme Kai and Kibito both began itch their heads and made a sort of 'aw' sounds.

Gohan frustrated "Well, can't you?!"

Witch shook her head "They can, but they shouldn't."

Videl had come up behind Gohan. She looked just as pissed at what was being said.

Gohan was now red with anger "Well why shouldn't they!?"

"Why do you think they didn't come in person to save you last time?" (She sighed.) "The young never paying attention at where they are, or what they are doing. You remember the demon lady that he was with, right?" (She poked him with her staff.) "The moment they come into the range she'll be able to follow them. This place will no longer be safe. You don't understand that this place is the center of the otherworld, the center of cosmic stability in the universe. If they do what you suggest they will play right into her hands. She will come with Kakarrot, they will kill them and this planet. The demon realm will be able to merge with ours and well then things will go to shit. As bad as you might want to help them, the universe takes precedence. I won't pretend to know how you feel but I've lost my entire race and family mostly. Your family is still alive. If they wanted to kill them, they would've done it already. They want them alive. Your monster of a sire wants to gloat and showoff. They have time Kakarrot wants them."

Gohan calmed down "Okay but we got to do something."

"Something hmph? Always what must be done. I've meet plenty like you. You are reckless. This is not a game; the fate of the universe is at stake here. We get you god ki then we do something. Do you think that Bill would want you to sacrifice yourself in vain?

Gohan said deeply in thought "No."

"Good. I think we've seen enough dead heroes." (She turned to the Kai's.) "Shin, I need you to bring the original six that helped my… mentor become the first Super Saiyan God."

"Why not just bring him?"

Witch sighed, she looked uncomfortable "I have failed him in every sense of that word. I doubt that he has any wish to see me. It would be better for us to not involve him."

"Well I'll get them but the papers to get them here will take a while, now tell me their names."

The super carrier 'Pride' appeared out of hyperspace with its escorts above the Earth. The door slammed open to the cell block and Cyan walking with Erasa behind him.

Cyan "I hoped you enjoyed your stay. Congratulation everyone that isn't Jaco you have finally come home. Welcome back to the pale blue dot."

They were taken from themselves and marched single file to the hangar with Cyan in lead the rest behind him. At the hangar they were meet by another Grand Admiral Byzantium. His hair was purple and his eyes violet.

Cyan a little shocked heiled at him and he heiled back "Byzantium? Why are you here?"

Byzantium spoke like a gentleman "Emperor's orders. He wanted me to help you escort them to the planet."

Cyan turned to his Admiral "Is this true?"

The Admiral looked at his pad "Yes my Lord, the message just came in."

"Very well."

They all got into the ship with the prisoners stuffed into cells and the Imperials up front. Byzantium sat right next to Erasa.

Byzantium "You've done wonders for the Empire commander. You should be most proud of your work."

Erasa irritated "I don't need to be reminded of it."

Byzantium "Faulien you sound disappointed in your work. Is it that you have seen the true mechanics behind the Empire?" (She looked and him funny and he whisper into her ear.) "You think I don't know what the snakes were planning? The Princess and him are not as careful as they think. Don't worry when the time comes your family will be safe. They are already in my custody, just say the truth when you are called upon if you are asked."

Erasa sighed and shook her head, she whispered back "Oh, so my family is in your hands. I suppose you want the Moff seat too and if I don't say anything, they are dead."

Byzantium still whispering "No you paint a wonderful picture of anyone else in my seat but not me. I wish to be one of the Moffs but not for the reason you think. The only thing you have to do is keep with my men when he orders the Brief's to be taken away."

Erasa still whispering "Why?"

Byzantium "Because you've seen who runs this show and I hope you realized that there is no honor in any of this."

Erasa nodded. She suddenly felt she had just agreed to something, she just didn't know what yet.

Dr. Briefs whispered into both Tarble's and Chi-Chi's ear. "I think that guy is my contact."

The two looked at the doctor then at Byzantium. Chi-Chi shrugged "Maybe we're not dead yet."

The ship landed and soon they were brought out. Chi-Chi looked at the extravagance on display. The walkway of the landing pad led to an entrance to The Palace. In front of the Palace was statue of Kakarrot. It was made all of gold. In his right hand was a sphere made to look like the Earth. The statue was gripping the globe, its fingernails digging into the sphere.

On the doors and the wall was a mural that seemed to depict his triumph on Earth. Everything about it was seemed to be made to offend her. On it showed the dead that she had long mourned. Krillin sliced open by Kakarrot ki. Yamcha with his heart ripped out of chest. Roshi with a hole through his stomach. Chiaotzu blown up by his mouth blast. Launch with her crushed throat.

The only one that was missing was Tien. He must have been airbrushed out of history. He hated failure and perhaps that was what Tien represented.

The doors were opened, and they were marched into the Palace. The halls were filled with paintings. They ranged from many time periods and even many planets. They had all been stolen of course. Everything that was this place was stolen down to the very Earth it laid on. It had all been well organized but not by him.

She doubted he viewed this stuff the Palace included as anything more then trophies. He hoarded it the same reason dragon hoard gold in fairy tales. Because the stuff is shiny, and people might come and try and take it from him one day. The monster probably only needs a cave to himself, but this was what rulers did, so he must too.

The hair on the back of her neck stood up. She knew he was behind the next door. She just prayed that she would die before Kakarrot did anything to her or that Gohan would make his appearance.

She came through and saw him up there on his throne of twisted metal made of the instruments of war. His black eyes were shining as she knew they would be. At his sides were Yurin and Tanman on his left on his right was Towa.

They were all smiling. On the steps leading to (the would-be god) was his children the four oldest. Romulus on the top followed by Remus, Livy and Gracchus. To the left side of the throne somewhat hidden in shadows was Piccolo holding that Guardian staff grinning. Behind Piccolo were three cyborgs 13, 14 and 15. Lining the room was a horde of blood guard.

Kakarrot clapped as loudly as he could as Chi-Chi and the other were led in and made to go on their knees like a this was an execution. There was a silence as orbs swirled around them which must have been camera's showing the universe that they had been caught. Then Kakarrot snapped his fingers and the orbs flew away.

"You know it's funny. It kind of feel's like I just killed trillions right there. A galaxy, no a universe's hope dashed in a few frames. You know I was afraid you'd come in here and you would look like a defeated army, broken lifeless, ready to die and not resist. But like always you didn't disappoint. Instead, you come to me like I always knew you would. Eyes burning with steel and fire. Plotting, scheming and full of determination. Beaten but still looking like your about to rip me apart. Your what I have always wanted a nemesis. One that would fight me still the stars all turned black and faded into the night. It's so hard to put my feelings into words. Who hates me more then you? Who breathes like every breath is an insult to me? Who but you? Chi-Chi. Fucking hell, I think you complete me, to tell you the truth. I'm only sad that this shit after all this time it has come to an end. I might had enjoyed it, if I were on my death bed and you were still out there. You're a Sand mandala finely done with work and care put into it telling a beautiful story of rage and revenge, that I'm about to pour down the drain. Here I am about to make my Empire complete but looking at you I realize that nothing will ever be as fun as all of this. I will have no more obstacles, no more foes for me to beguile, outsmart and overpower at all at your level."

Chi-Chi snapped "I'm no one special you only say that to make yourself feel bigger. You only say that because I eluded you for so long. You couldn't stand that a mere human was your truest enemy because it wasn't just me it was all of us. Most of us without power. We weak humans defied you. You'll never be safe because you can't kill freedom. We might die but it will live on."

Kakarrot looked quite amused "Who said anything about killing you?" (He paused.) "You know my orders were to destroy humanity and I think I have been doing a pretty damn good job at it. There're more human then there has ever been before but instead of human they think more like my people or at the least their ancestors. They 'exterminate', they don't go to war. They hate, they don't fear. They breed, they don't love. They live to kill, not kill to live. They are strong, not weak. I have taught them like a good father should. I have beautifully mutilated them like I did to you. Cut in off pieces of them as they screamed and cried out in agony." (He licked his lips.) "The sounds they have made. Byzantium can you step in front of the throne?"

He nodded, heiled and came forward "You wanted to talk to me my Emperor?"

"I've been wondering has Cyan and my sweet daughter been ploting against me?"

Byzantium smiled "Undoubtly as you thought my Emperor." (Cyan and Livy looked stunned as both were seized. Remus and Gracchus turned Livy to face the Emperor.) "They were plotting to use the resistance to assassinate you and take the throne."

Kakarrot said very creepily "My sweet, sweet girl. You must think me an idiot. You might have intelligence, smoking hot good looks that would have easily made you one of my wives. But this is me were talking about. Never try to backstab the guy that made it into an art form. Now I could just spank you here and now but that seems a little harsh so I'm going to put you into a timeout for a little while."

They we're hang cuffed and about to be led away by Gracchus. Livy screamed out "I made this moment happen father!"

Kakarrot raised his hand and they stopped "Grandfather this is your funeral what do you think?"

To the right of the throne out of the dark shadows came Dr. Gero. He had on a yellow and black pin striped with a black odd hat tall with the handled trident above his face. He had on a black vest, brown pants with white and black tennis shoes. The ancient man looked younger. Everyone seemed a bit confused at his presence as all believed the man to be dead.

Kakarrot chuckled "The rumors of my grandfather death were greatly exaggerated. Now they were true but I'm the god of death. So, I willed him back."

Dr. Gero "More accurately my tech brought me back. I need never die. My heart stopped, but it was replaced. Now I can live as long as I wish. Son your girl has betrayed you. You have the right to teach her a lesson but what is more important is what to do with this Grand Admiral."

Kakarrot sat back "You are right, like in most things." (He appeared in front Byzantium.) "You've done me as great service, but you have also lie to me."

Byzantium tried to move but he was grabbed by Kakarrot by the shoulder and prevented from even turning.

Kakarrot darkly "You see. I'm all seeing. You wanted to go to Mandalore because you were their source. You were the one warned them about us on Ericama. You got Teal killed and you had the gall to come here and ask for his seat. While you were planning to free them!?"

A steel look came to Byzantium eyes as he spat out "Long live the Resistance. Long live freed and liberty. There will be a free humanity again, tyrant!"

Kakarrot nodded "Better final words then most."

Kakarrot open his mouth and his face rushed towards the man's throat. In a split second he took a chuck out of it and he swallowed it. Blood came shooting out of the hole as the man tried to scream but no longer had vocal cords. Kakarrot teeth dove back in as he was covered in blood. The scene was like one out of a nature documentary. That of a scene of a lion diving its head into the body of a still living prey. He was taking bites as the prey whips about trying to defend itself until it suddenly stops as its dead.

Chi-Chi and her group barely held themselves together as they were turning green and blue. The scene didn't end when he stopped moving. Kakarrot was eating his way through the man. After a painful minute Kakarrot head emerged from the man's torso, the man's liver or kidney unclear in his teeth as he chewed.

His hair was slicked back from the tons of blood holding it down, but the hair took its shape quickly. His right hand ripped off the man's head with ease and he shoved the man's head into her face.

Kakarrot "Sorry sweetie but he ain't helping you out now." (With his left hand he moved the man's mouth and pretended to be him.) "'Sorry Cheech but my dumb ass got caught. Better hope Gohan shows up soon.'"

Chi-Chi her lip trembling with rage "Hell is too good for you."

Kakarrot tossed the head away were it caught by one of the many bloodguardmen. "You know what to do with it." (His attention back on her.) "Sweetie they never made a hell for me cuz they never saw me coming. Now I wonder which of your friends do I have to start eating before your boy decides to show up. I know a way to get him here in an instant, but I hate being interrupted in that sort of thing." (He angled upwards. Talking to Erasa and the men.) "Take the Briefs away. Torture her kid until they agree to start working for us. Take Cyan and my Princess to their cells."

Erasa picked up Trunks. The soldiers the Doctor, Tights and his mother. They were marching down the halls. Trunks wanted to throw up because of that scene and the fact Erasa was touching him. He decided he was going to look at her in her eyes but found she was looking elsewhere.

The men were a collection of Cyan's and Byzantium's. Their eyes were darting back and forth. There was an icy tension in the march. All of them had reason to be unhappy with all of this and then Trunks realized some of these men were of the Resistance they had to be.

They came to a place in the hall right before the room. The group stopped and Erasa cracked her neck. She whispered to herself "Okay." She raised her blaster and shot Cyan's Admiral. Cyan's and Byzantium's men took each other out in a hail of blaster fire. Erasa meanwhile, shoved Trunks and his family to the ground.

Byzantium's men were the only ones left standing as Erasa picked up the Briefs and smashed their cuffs.

All of the Briefs were stunned. Bulma "What do you think your doing?"

Erasa hissed "Something really stupid."

One of the soldiers "What's the plan?"

Erasa shrugged "Don't know haven't thought that far ahead yet…"

Trunks grabbed her by the hand and looked her in the eyes. Neither seemed to know what to feel.

Erasa "I'm not asking you to forgive me."

Trunks "I don't know if I can."

Erasa "Good…We got a job to do, and I can't have you all moppy."

They stopped as they suddenly felt him appear in the throne room.

"Well, there's the cavalry. Boss late as usual and your bro. Looks like we have a real fight on our hands."

Earlier

Gohan was nervously tapping his foot as he waited for the ancient Saiyan's to arrive. Videl was below watch the magic ball.

The witch was in front of him as sighed "Relax."

"My family is in danger, and you want me to relax?"

"Better then panicking… You need to focus. If it'll calm, you down. I'll give you, my knowledge."

She placed her thump on his forehead and Gohan mind was suddenly bombarded with knowledge of the past. Gohan frustration turned to amazement. It was like he had read a million books.

"That was intended to be my parting gift but that tapping was just so annoying."

"What is this?"

"History, to the best of my knowledge of the Saiyan race. It's filled with heroes, villains, normals, brave people, cowards, brilliance, stupidity, dreams, and nightmares. Same as your humans. We're all gone now. Violence took everything from my people."

"No, it didn't. I can do better."

"Perhaps, you can."

The Supreme Kai appeared with six Saiyan's in toe. Gohan knew them now. They we're all the Super Saiyan's God's friends all from clans different he realized from the Saiyan that survived. The lead was Snip he was from the clan Root. His skin was pale. His face weathered. He was a giant towering over even Gohan. He wore not armor but thick furs. His people lived in the cold in the north.

Next was Zuc of the Frit clan. His skin was of a tanner color. He was dressed lighter; his armor was thin more made for show then fighting. He seemed cultured. He been in fights, but he had also read a book once. He was the same size of Vegeta. He was very happy almost bubbling with excitement.

Then Shal of clan Bulb. She was a tiny woman. Her skin was nearly orange. Her armor was elaborate with what were good luck charms. It was brightly colored and flashy. It was also not made for show. It was well worn merely repainted and maintained.

Celt of Stem Clan. He had fair skin like Snip but his was covered with freckles. His armor was thick and cover too in symbols but his were simply like cave drawings. The same symbols marked his skin as well. His left eye was missing but not covered over.

Cassa of clan Tuber. She had a dark brown skin color. Her armor was thin but very worn. Her skin was marked with symbols of battle and culture. They were tattoos. That must have indicated achievements and beliefs.

Spina of clan Leave. She was dressed the most oddly. Her armor was a single thin chest plate. She barely had on anything. Her skin was a tan one. She was mostly dressed in leaves. She never looked like she had fought once in her life.

Gohan knew what Saiyan's looked like but none of them really fit what he had seen.

Witch sensing his confusion "Clan Veg may have been the only survivors from Salada but they weren't the only kind to have ever exist. Even this is only a hand full of what once was. We might have all had onyx eyes and jet-black hair in youth but otherwise we were varied like your human's."

Spina walked towards both her and Gohan. "So, this is who you wanted us to give our power?"

Witch bowed to the six "My elder spoke of you all and his friendship with each of you. You all gave your lives to save our people and our world I humbly ask you to help his daughter do it again.

Snip sniffed "You smell nothing like him."

Witch "He was not my true sire but my savior when I was but an infant." They're attention turned to Gohan

Shal "He's a strong one. Not that he's seen many battles."

Snip "He mated too. Maybe that make him too cautious."

Cassa looked at Videl who had come to see this "You're looking for problems. She's more a fighter then him."

Zuc looking them both over "He has great taste and so does she. I like them."

Celt "The gods do seem to want us to help."

Spina "His heart is pure."

Supreme Kai looking ragged barked "Can we just do this already! I never want to see another piece of paper in my life, and I just want to get to the part where you give him god ki!"

Old Kai came up to him and put his hand on his shoulder "It was really that much paperwork?"

Supreme Kai "It was nearly a week of me just signing and reading legal forms. It was hell!" He said tearing up a bit.

Old Kai patted him on the back "Yeah it sounds like it."

Gohan flabbergasted "That's why it took so long!"

Witch "Universe is run by paper pushers. It's a soulless bureaucracy, that only also the most incompetent succeed in running. Case in point the Kai and Beerus." (Neither of the Kais heard her as they were too busy feeling sorry for themselves.) "Maybe Kakarrot isn't as power as I thought if these three represent the greatest threat to his rule. Gohan its time."

Videl and the Witch stepped away as the Saiyan's from the distance past surrounded him and held their hands. They glowed with yellow energy as a power flowed from them to him.

Witch "Feel the energy. Hold onto it. And make it yours."

Power swirled around Gohan as his hair turned red and glow unearthly. It was not the blinding light of Super Saiyan but a calmer odder supernatural glow. Gohan looked surprised as he felt himself this was enough yet. The power seemed to go but Gohan had drawn it inwards.

Witch "Good now make it your own."

It was like an explosion as his hair went from red to a blue. His aura was more like a Super Saiyan. It was blinding and brimming with power. The ancient Saiyans were blow away. For a second, he was almost turning orange, but it stayed at blue.

Everyone was stunned as they felt the power on display. Gohan checked himself over.

Witch "Well you are the strongest Saiyan I can think of."

"It's time I'm ready."

The Witch nodded "Agreed." Videl rushed over to him, as he powered down.

Supreme Kai "Wait a second, I'm coming too."

Kibito "No that would not be wise. I will go with Gohan and help him. You stay. She will come here you will need to stop her." (The Supreme Kai nodded. Kibito came forward.) "It will be an honor to deliver you to your enemy. You may have been worth of my master's trust."

"I'm guessing that'll be as close as I get to a compliment?"

Kibito nodded and put his hand on Gohan shoulder as he held hands with Videl. And then they were gone.

Kakarrot grabbed hold of Mai and held her by her throat as he looked into Chi-Chi's eyes. He had decided his way of making Gohan show up the moment the Briefs had left.

"The suits aren't important enough. Your too much fun and Tarble gets the royal treatment, so you go first. Any last words?" (Mai was choking and couldn't respond.) "Okay will go with 'stop choking me please.'"

Just then Gohan, Videl and Kibito appeared in front of Chi-Chi. Gohan eyes meet Kakarrot's. They were surrounded by enemies.

Kakarrot merely smiled "Well… took you long enough kiddo."
