Hey guys! Second Chapter coming right up!

At Capsule Corp, the Z-Fighters were all celebrating their victory over a large feast, Beerus was gulping down his food as always, and Vegeta gulped down nearly all the food. Everyone was happy, except one.
Goku had barely touched his food, eating a grain of rice at a time. The Z-Fighters began to grow worried.
"Hey." Krillin called out to his friend, "You okay? You've been rather quiet since the tournament ended."
"Huh? Oh, yeah." Goku absent-mindedly replied, but the group gave him multiple stares. He then sighed,
"I'm going to tell you, but promise me you guys won't freak out?"
The gang nodded, wondering what was bothering their friend.
"I… I got a proposition, to become Zen-chan an' Zeno-sama's successor as the Omni-King."
Beerus spat out his drink in shock, and Yamcha almost chocked on a chunk of meat.
"K-Kakarot…" Vegeta said in shock, "Y-You're serious?"
Goku nodded, and groaned in annoyance.
"Oh man, what should I do? If I accept, it's like leaving Earth open to threats! But if I decline, Zen-chan and Zeno-sama might die with no successor and the universes will have nothing to watch over them!" Goku was tugging at his hair in confusion and frustration. It was unlike Goku to have a dilemma, and when he did, he was able to find a solution sooner rather than later. The gang all looked at each other then looked back at Goku.
"Goku... you should take it." Bulma suggested, shocking Goku.
"Bulma'a right," Yamcha agreed, "we've depended too much on you, we never seem to do anything without your help. It's time the gang learned how to walk on our own two feet. I'm not saying we won't need you, but unless we have some crazy, over-powered maniac, we'll be fine. So quit you're worrying and do it! Besides, we've always wondered what you would look like as a high rank, and you can always visit! Or maybe you could do a work-from-home."
"And besides you need a better job anyway!" Chi Chi added, making the Z-Fighters stare at her.
Goku looked at the Z-Fighters, all the friends and family he had gathered throughout his years. Goku looked down, balling his hands into fists underneath the table. He wasn't sure if the gang could handle without him cracking the whip. But... if anything, Yamcha was right, the gang had depended too much on him over the years, but would they be able to manage on their own?
No... they can manage, after all, they came through for him, and he didn't always win. Gohan won against Cell, and "Future" Trunks won against Zamasu and Goku Black. Goku sighed and stood up slowly
"A-Are you sure?" Goku asked, the Z-Fighters nodded, with the exclusion of Beerus and Vegeta.
"Kakarot," Vegeta called out, "heh, you always were one step ahead of me, you low-class baka." Goku chuckled and smiled. The Saiyan took out the Zen-Oh Button and flipped it to its red side, he took a deep breath, and pressed the button, sending him to the Zen-Ohs Palace.
In a flash of light, Goku saw himself in front of both Zen-Ohs.
"Goku!" the duo called out as they flew over to the kind-hearted Saiyan.
"Goku." F. Zen-Oh began, "Have you made your decision?"
Goku nodded and took a deep breath, "I've decided... to accept."
Both Zen-Ohs shouted "Yatta!" and high-fived each other.
"Goku-san." Grand Priest said to Goku, "The mantle of Omni-King is a heavy burden, are you sure?"
"Yeah, even though it feels like I'm letting Earth be in danger, my friends have decided to step out of the shadows and have become more independent, however, should they need my assistance, I would gladly help them out. I know the responsibiities, so I must remain vigilant." Grand Priest nodded.
"Spoken like a true Omni-King. Well then, before we begin, here are some new clothes. You wouldn't want to look less regal in the gi now, do you? And... don't be surprised if it's a bit more grand than Zeno-samas', they wanted rather simple clothes. These were the robes of an Omni-King long ago, I trust that you will wear them with pride."
The Grand Priest waved his staff over Goku's body and a new set of clothes appeared, his gi on the floor forgotten. Goku wore white gloves with sapphires embedded on them, he wore gold shoulder pads and chestplate with a purple undershirt, what was the most prominent, though, was his long cape that looked like an entire universe was plastered on it, with moving stars, planets, and a purple-blue-dark blue void.
Goku didn't have time to admire the clothing as a rush of energy surged through him. Sure, Goku didn't like getting power the easy way, but it was for the best, even in Ultra Instinct, he was nowhere near Zen-chan or Zeno-sama's power levels.
"Those were the techniques and strengths of an Omni-King. As of today, Son Goku of Earth, you will rise as an Omni-King." Goku stared at the Grand Priest with a rekindled fire in his eyes, and the Angel could have sworn he saw Goku's eyes go from black to silver then back to black, but he shrugged it off as a hallucination. It was then that P. Zen-Oh stepped forward.
"Goku, you still haven't used the Super Dragon Balls for winning, what is your wish? You can wish for anything except for all the Universes restored."
Goku put a hand to his chin in thought, he was going to wish the Universes back to life but... that had been thrown out the window, and he wouldn't want to wish for something like unlimited food, now that would be stupid. He did want to know about his heritage, however...
Goku whispered his wish into the Grand Priest's ear and was shocked, but then a smile crept up to his lips as he went to where all seven Super Dragon Balls were floating in space and began to summon Super Shenron, chanting in the Language of the Gods.
"Come forth, Dragon of the Gods, and grant my wish pretty peas!"
The Super Dragon Balls glowed with an intense light and a bright flash engulfed the balls, a beacon of light emerged and it formed the shape of a dragon. When the light faded, a large, golden dragon with red eyes appeared. With a booming voice, he spoke in the Language of the Gods.
"I shall grant any wish, now speak."
"Oh mighty dragon, I wish for Planet Vegeta and all the Saiyans from Universe 7 to be revived!"
"Your wish is granted."
Super Shenron's eyes glowed red and, in a galaxy not so far away, Planet Vegeta and all the Sayians were revived. Goku sensed the presence of many and smiled.
"This job may not be as bad as I thought."
"Goku." P. Zen-Oh called out to Goku, "Thank you, we'll be going now..."
Both Zen-Ohs faded from existence. Goku didn't have time to mourn as he had a job to do. Goku called out to the Attendants.
"Get the Grand Priest, next stop: Planet Vegeta."
That's it! Pretty short chapter, and yes Goku did use the Super Dragon Balls to revive his race for three reasons:
1. Should they go rogue, the Z-Fighters or Goku himself can take care of them.
2. He wanted to meet his parents and to grow an alliance with King Vegeta.
3. To show that low-class Saiyans can rise to become mightier than even the king himself.
Next: Chapter 3: TO PLANET VEGETABLE!
Whelp! R&R! Wuv you all!
