A/N; Hey, everyone! I posted this cool new chapter for this story. After today's latest review, I was a bit stuck, but I made it count as best I can today, so please, bare with me. Also, the part where Yamcha meets the present 21 won't appear until next chapter. Sorry. But, at least, I was able to put other suggestions into this fine piece of work. Also, I saw that crazy new episode of "Dragon Ball Super" two days ago, and thought, "Goku should've shouted that to Black instead of Jiren in episode 61." That power was insane, by the way. One more thing, my twin brother gave me the idea of the word "Destruction" being uttered in the divine tongue, to make it more interesting. Anyhoo, enjoy.
Dragon Ball Super
The Saiyan Warrior of Hope Saga
"I'd like to see Goku and the Yurei from the future, you see; A Summons From Grand Zeno!"
Chapter 1
First, it showed Zamasu pouring the tea into the teacup before it then showed Goku's fight with the first sign of Ultra Instinct ending with Goku's merciful victory.
Narrator: "Previously on 'Dragon Ball Super'! Lord Beerus and Whis decided to confirm that the true identity of Goku Black was a Supreme Kai-in-training named Zamasu. Goku unwittingly tapped into the first sign of Ultra Instinct during his spar with the Kai, but the connection to Goku Black remained uncertain."
Later, Back on Earth, Goku felt something a bit off with Zamasu, numbing his connection to Black down.
"I'm not so sure about that. Seems like a pretty big leap from him to Black. Zamasu didn't strike me as that bad of a guy."
Then, it showed Vegeta transformed into the newly named "Super Saiyan Azure" before Future Trunks' eyes before he dashed toward his own future son and kicked him toward several icebergs before Future Trunks embraced his first sign of Ultra Instinct and even had a glimpse of Super Saiyan Azure as well before Vegeta was pushed back a great distance and landed on the icy ground.
Narrator: "Meanwhile, Vegeta offered to train his son from the future and show Trunks the power of Super Saiyan Azure, only for him to receive a critical blow from his future son's first experience with the incomplete Ultra Instinct, which gave him a glimpse of that power for future use."
Future Trunks turned to Vegeta and spoke to him.
"You hear that? I will get stronger. Stronger than Black, and stronger than you."
Vegeta only stood up by himself and walked out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with a grin, but not before he replied back.
"Hmph. Glad to see you're making good progress."
Then, it showed Grand Zeno appearing on the green bubble before Beerus panicked, fell out of his chair, and squirmed backward before Grand Zeno stated his request.
Narrator: "And across the universe, Beerus answered an alarming call."
"Well, I'd like to see Goku and the Yurei from the future, you see?"
Then, Beerus and Whis yelled in panic at the mention of Goku's name from Zeno, considering what catastrophes could occur, especially since he must've found out about the Time Travel business.
Later, Beerus panted heavily on top of his meditation spot before Goku, Yurei, Piccolo, the future Android 21, now in human form, and Whis appeared before Beerus. Yurei and 21 wanted to know what was going on, as did Goku, who walked toward Beerus and explained something half as important to him.
"We're here, Lord Beerus!", shouted Yurei.
"So, what's going on over there?", Piccolo asked.
"Is something wrong?", Future 21 asked.
"Whis said to come see you. Things are about to pretty hectic, so whatever you want, can you make it quick?"
Beerus only grabbed Goku's cheek and pinned it tightly, hurting Goku. Yurei wanted to know why he did it.
"Uh, not to be sore about that, lord, but what was that for?", asked Yurei.
Beerus had to answer honestly.
"The Omni-king has informed us he wants to see you two!"
Then, Goku stepped back a bit and grew puzzled before Yurei grew reminiscent.
"Owww! You mean that Grand Zeno guy?"
"Wait. I remember hearing about him. It has to be important if Grand Zeno wanted me there, too."
Whis concurred and stated the urgency.
"The ruler of us all, yes, he wishes you two to come to his palace."
Future 21 wanted to know where it was going to be while Whis was only just as clueless.
"What do you think that's about?"
"I would not deign to guess."
Goku had at least one complaint and took it up with Beerus.
"Sounds fun, but can I take a rain-check? Bulma's almost done fixing the Time Machine, so we're gonna have to leave soon."
Beerus, however, snapped and explained how urgent the request is.
"Don't be stupid! When Grand Zeno calls for you, you don't check your confounded calendar! You just go!"
Goku wanted to know a couple of things before he leaves.
"Well, where does he live? How long does the trip take?"
Whis can answer that in an honest way.
"Even for me, it takes two days each way."
Goku had another complaint, annoying Beerus.
"Two days? That's crazy! I can't be gone that long in the middle of this thing with Black!"
"Are you honestly that dense?"
Beerus also voiced his complaints in his thoughts.
"Ridiculous. What could Grand Zeno possibly want with this brainless idiot?", thought Beerus.
Then, Whis devised a solution.
"Wait, I just remembered. You're friends with the Supreme Kai of this Universe, aren't you, Goku?", asked Whis.
"Yeah, why?"
"Among the many privileges of Supreme Kais is the power to leap to Grand Zeno's palace instantaneously."
Frankly, Yurei and Future 21 were relieved with the solution, although Goku was more excited.
"Well, how about that. It could actually work.", Yurei admitted.
"That's a great idea!", Future 21 concurred.
"It could save up a lot of time.", Piccolo agreed.
"Instantaneously? For real?"
Beerus then agreed as well before he felt that Whis should go with them.
"Clever idea! With the Supreme Kai there, we just might survive. You should go, too, Whis, to keep Goku in line."
Whis grew puzzled.
"Then, you aren't coming as well, my lord?", asked Whis.
Beerus only answered nervously with a grin.
"No, of course not! I'm extremely busy!"
Whis only mm-hmm'd as Goku felt that this reason was stupid.
"Busy sitting on a stump?", puzzled Goku.
However, in response, Beerus grabbed Future 21 by the cheeks and squished them together, giving her the "duck lip" treatment, before he moved her closer to him.
"Look, you, Yurei, and Goku just focus on yourselves and and don't do anything dumb while we're there!"
Future 21 understood but became puzzled as she spoke in a squished manner.
"I understand, Lord Beerus, but why do you seem that worried about Grand Zeno?"
"Do you three not comprehend that the fate of our universe hinges on you three having good manners?! Listen! If any of you do anything that Grand Zeno finds insulting, he could easily erase you, me, this entire reality from existence! Don't you forget that!"
Future Android 21, having understood the situation, had to get Beerus to drop her.
"Uh, Lord Beerus, not that I don't understand the situation, but uh, could you stop squishing my cheeks now?", asked Future 21.
Beerus only gave a surprised grunt before he calmed down and released his grip on Future 21's cheeks. Then, he explains his distress quickly.
"I give up. We're all doomed."
Goku, however, only brushed it aside with a grin as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Hey, just relax. I've got this. Zeno likes me, remember? We'll get this taken care of and be back in no time."
Beerus only grunted a bit as he glared at Goku while Future 21 seemed puzzled about Zeno.
"Why is everyone making such a big deal about Grand Zeno?", Future 21 asked.
Yurei only sighed before responding.
"You have no idea."
Meanwhile, at Capsule Corp., as Future Bulma watched, her past self and her father were just putting the finishing touches on the Time Machine and finished up before she popped over to her father as Future Bulma smiled.
"All done!"
Needless to say, Dr. Briefs, Mai, and Shou were impressed. Dr. Bruefs had an idea of what to do next.
"All right, then! What do you say we give this baby some juice!"
Mai and Shou turned to each other and giggled, before she decided to tell Future Trunks.
"I'll go tell Trunks the good news!"
But before she could continue, Future Bulma halted her, puzzling Mai, who turned around.
"Hold on!"
As she explained, it showed Future Trunks sleeping as he began glowing an aura similar to Black's aura, except it was not evil. Instead, it was pure light as it appeared to be the same blue-silver aura from before. Future Bulma then decided that Mai should at least tell her son.
"Not yet. He just finished some intense training with his dad, and I want him to get some rest while he can. So, let's wait until we're sure this thing's ready to fly. 'Kay?"
Mai agreed and nodded.
"You got it!"
Meanwhile, Beerus was critiquing Goku's outfit, and Future 21's Majin-like appearance.
"And another thing. You three aren't actually going to the Omni-King's palace dressed like that, are you?"
Goku grew puzzled about what Beerus saw wrong.
"Yeah! Of course. Why?"
Beerus then spoke honestly.
"You three should wear something formal, you dolt."
Future 21 blushed in embarrassment with a smile.
"Sorry, but it seemed like the only thing that passes as elegant, Lord Beerus."
Beerus only sighed in slight disgust before he gave an opinion.
"Honestly, when it comes to fashion, you're just like Goku."
Future 21 grew peeved as she puffed out air from her ears the way Buu puffed out air in anger from his holes.
"Hey! I heard that!", Future 21 shouted.
Beerus gave a panicked reaction and laughed nervously, puzzling Yurei.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about!", Beerus fibbed.
Goku, however, stated his complaint.
"What, like a suit or something? If I have to do that, I ain't goin'!"
That earned Goku a slap on the head from Yurei.
"Why, you fool! If we don't show up, everything will be erased for good! DO YOU WANT THAT?!"
Goku then gave a panicked answer.
"N-n-n-n-no! It's not like that! I just don't quite cut it when it comes to formalities. That's all."
Beerus then stifled his laughter the way he did back at Universe 10 as Whis stated what he can do about Goku's clothing problem.
"Well, I could offer an apology, saying we were in such a rush, we didn't have time for proper attire."
Then, Beerus had to agree before he can tell Goku one more thing before he, Yurei, and Future 21 leave with Whis.
"Fine, but make sure you don't even hint about Goku Black or the Time Machine, is that clear?"
Goku grew puzzled as to why he shouldn't mention Goku Black, let alone the Time Machine.
"What? Why not?"
Yurei can already guess why as would Piccolo.
"Because we don't know for sure if Grand Zeno does know about what's going on yet."
"That's right, and if he did know, then it could be a major problem.", Piccolo agreed.
Future 21 added one more thing and wanted to know if Goku got the message.
"In fact, if he learned about the time tampering and alternate realities, he'll be all kinds of angry. You know what he'd do then, don't you?", asked Future 21.
Goku then understood that and nodded before Beerus turned to Whis.
"One more thing. While I'm training Piccolo on Earth, if Grand Zeno does lash out, make sure it's not at Supreme Kai. I need him protected at all costs.", urged Beerus.
Whis agreed while Goku grew surprised over the fact that Beerus cared about the Supreme Kai of Universe 7.
"I'm quite aware, my lord."
"Wow, that's a shocker. Never heard you worry about someone besides yourself before.", Goku stated.
Whis laughed in response before he gave an answer.
"Right? Though, he is worried about himself, since they are a set."
Goku grew puzzled before Whis explained further.
"A set?"
"When a Supreme Kai dies, the Destroyer of that universe dies with him."
Goku grew surprised, but no more so than Lord Beerus as Yurei explained the similarity.
"No way! Is that true?", Goku exclaimed.
"That's right, and some time after he gave me this Time Ring and left for Earth to prevent Majin Buu's release, he died trying to save Trunks from Dabura.", Yurei stated.
Future 21 grew puzzled about Beerus' reaction as she pressed her finger against Beerus' shocked face while Goku was thinking of the possibilities carefully.
"So, if I wanted to defeat you, Lord Beerus, I'd just have to get rid of Supreme Kai and that's it? That's crazy! I mean, not that I ever would. Where's the challenge in that?"
Beerus then grew infuriated with Whis.
"Whis! How could you blurt out my greatest vulnerability like some casual piece of gossip?!"
Whis felt slightly apologetic, but knew that there was no need to worry about Goku.
"Forgive me, my lord. But knowing Goku, as well as we do, there's no reason for alarm. C'mon."
Goku agreed as he rubbed the bottom of his nose with his finger.
"Yeah, like I said, there's no fun in that, and I'm super good at keeping secrets, too!"
Beerus grew infuriated before Piccolo spoke.
"Eh, what are you gonna do?", Piccolo said.
Beerus only responded sarcastically at first.
"Oh, joy."
Then, he quickly thought things through and gave a mischievous grin.
"Oh, joy, indeed."
Later, after Beerus and Piccolo arrived back on Earth, Whis moved over to Goku and put his arm on Goku's shoulder while Yurei and Future 21 do the same.
"Okay, then. Shall we get moving, everyone?"
Then, Goku said goodbye as did Yurei and Future 21.
"Yep. I'll see you next time, Lord B!"
"Best of luck to you two.", Yurei grinned.
"We'll be back before you know it!", stated Future 21.
As Goku, Whis, Yurei, and Future 21 leave, Piccolo turned to Beerus.
"Don't worry about a thing. If anyone can pull us through, it's him."
Frankly, Beerus felt somewhat distraught about as it is exactly the problem as he let down his head with a sigh and then turned to Piccolo.
"Tell me something. Do you feel comfy training at your planet?", asked Beerus.

Meanwhile, a thousand years into Babari's future, due to Towa and Mira's actions, a war had already erupted between those with green loincloths and those with the black ones, one of which was controlled by Towa, Mira, and the evil half of the present 21, visible by the dark purple auras and the purple glow on the eyes. As they fought, the green loinclothed Babarian managed to hold back the black Babarians.
"It's over! The madness is running wild! We're doomed!"
As the war ensued, Zamasu spoke his own thoughts while glaring at Towa, Mira, and what seemed to be an evil replica of 21.
"Forgive me for speaking such a statement, but they take what they want by savage force. Their so-called society is based on nothing else. They possess neither justice nor order. They were gifted with life. Brains capable of wisdom. Yet, all because of two demons and a monster, they waste it completely. Should these gifts, let alone that dark curse plaguing their minds, not be taken back?"
Gowasu turned to Zamasu.
"What do you mean 'two demons and a monster'?"
Then, Towa and Mira appeared behind the master and apprentice.
"I believe he is referring to us.", Towa answered.
Then, Gowasu and Zamasu turn to see Towa, Mira, and a sort of evil replica of Android 21 in her Majin form, identifiable by the red eyes and black sclera. As Gowasu looked in shock, Zamasu gave a glare and spoke.
"I had a feeling you three would show up here."
Then, Mira scoffed.
"Shut up."
Then, Towa motioned to the evil 21.
"21, you have my permission to eat your just desserts."
Zamasu widened his eyes in shock from hearing her name and had thoughts.
"Did that demon just say her name? What has that demon done to her?", thought Zamasu.
Then, the evil 21 moaned a bit as she slurped her tongue, moistening her lips.
"With pleasure!"
Then, her dark aura flared up as did the purple glow on her eyes before she charged toward Gowasu only for Zamasu to appear in front of her and halt her attack with an energy shield before she was knocked back by the repulsion. Eventually, the evil 21 grew angry rather quickly.
"Y-You... YOU'RE GOING TO PAAAYY!", shouted the dark beast.
Just as she began charging toward Zamasu, Mira grew exceedingly worried as he got in front of his master and spoke to him.
"Master, stand back!", warned Zamasu before he prepared a glowing blade consisted of his own energy around his hand, worrying Gowasu.
"Zamasu!"
"Don't!", shouted the concerned Mira.
However, the evil, and angry, 21 did not listen, but continued to charge toward him instead as Zamasu's eyes widened before Gowasu shouted to his pupil.
"You must not strike!"
Then, as the enraged evil 21 continued to charge toward Zamasu, he lifted up his arm in the air before he seemingly charged back with greater speed before he sliced down on the evil Majin android's back. Zamasu's back was now in front of 21's as the severance began with a white glow brightly on the cut before 21's upper and lower halves split apart, shocking her, Towa, Mira, and Gowasu.

As soon as her two halves landed, while her dark energy dispelled, so did the dark energy within the black Babarians, confusing them as they did not remember what happened. Even the leader was puzzled.
"Wha..?", puzzled the leader.
Meanwhile, her upper half quickly got up and grew infuriated.
"Aw, man! I really liked that body better when my two halves were one!"
Then, Zamasu turned to the upper half and figured something out.
"You're not the real 21 at all, are you? You're just an evil shell that was cast aside from your host, are you not?", Zamasu asked.
Play Super Music: "Humiliating Defeat"
The evil 21 turned to Zamasu and gave an evil grin as she spoke.
"How did you guess that?"
"Well, it's relatively simple, really. Before I struck, I sensed nothing but pure evil from inside you. That can only mean that you were recently split apart from your host. I met her a while back in my Universe. There was no sign of evil from her. So, that means you decided to join up with those wretched demons to create such havoc on history. But I have to ask why."
Then, Towa stated her reason.
"Isn't it obvious? We intend to revive the demon realm.", Towa bluntly answered before she spoke further. "All those cries and screams of pain, anger, hate, suffering, sorrow, and misery, these sounds appease us."
Zamasu gave an angry glare in response and even clenched his teeth before he uttered a command to them.
"Take your wretched abominations with you and take leave of this realm at once!", Zamasu yelled.
Then, Towa, having felt that it will not get anywhere, felt that it would be best to retreat.
"You have no right to order us around! But, on the other hand, it is best to retreat for now.", Towa realized.
Upon hearing this, the evil 21 grew very puzzled and angry.
"Retreat? What? Come on! I was just about to bash his face in!"
Mira only retorted back.
"No!"
Then, as the evil 21 gasped and growled before Mira agreed.
"What a buzzkill. We will finish this later."
The evil 21 only gave a short growl of frustration and gave a short Roar before she spoke.
"Gaaahh! When I get a hold of you..!"
Before she could continue, both the evil 21, with her two cleaved halves, Towa, and Mira vanished without a trace, leaving Zamasu on his thoughts.
End Super Music: "Humiliating Defeat"
"What business did these wretched demons have with Babari's Future and why did they choose to attack this point in time?", Zamasu thought.
Then, Gowasu spoke to Zamasu, catching his attention.
"Zamasu, look!", Gowasu shouted.
Then, the black Babarian leader walked up to Zamasu and Gowasu.
"Look, I'm sorry that I...let things get to this point."
Zamasu then looked up and spoke to the creature.
"There is nothing to forgive of you. You and your kind are quite fine with me, disregarding, for the moment, your odd ways of life. The only people to blame for this are Towa, Mira, and their abominable creation. But they've left now. You and your people no longer need to fear them. You may continue as you were."
The black Babarian leader felt grateful and stammered a bit.
"Gee, I-I don't know what to say."
Then, Zamasu arrived next to Gowasu.
"Shall we take our leave, Master Gowasu?", Zamasu asked.
Gowasu grinned and nodded.
Later, at the temple, Zamasu gave a surprised reaction.
"You mean to tell me that I am officially a Supreme Kai?"
Gowasu then explained the reason for this celebratory reward.
"Yes. It is because you valued creation over your own gain and dispelled the evil energy that drove the black Babarians mad. In fact, the individual you spoke to, he was very grateful that you saved him that he had a major impact on the future of the Babari. A warrior who saw the light and led his clan to true reformation. You made that possible, Zamasu."
Zamasu grinned as his green earring shook a bit while he looked up.
"All in a day's work, master."
Meanwhile, in Universe 7, at Supreme Kai's world, the Supreme Kai was just told the news and grew very surprised.
"What?! Wait. The palace of Grand Zeno?"
"Yup, that's what I said!", Goku answered before he bowed. "Can you take us, pretty please?"
Whis had to make this as urgent as possible.
"Would you be so kind?", Whis asked.
Supreme Kai was quite surprised.
"You mean he invited you and Yurei there?"
Elder Kai was just as surprised, but also confused.
"Why in the worlds would he do that? You two aren't even divine."
Neither Goku nor Yurei knew the answer while Future 21 can make a guess.
"Beats me. He didn't say.", Goku answered.
"Hey, I'm just as clueless as the next guy.", Yurei agreed.
"All I know is that it must be for something important.", Future 21 said.
Kibito Kai can agree there.
"To think! Goku, Yurei, and 21 laying eyes on the palace! But I haven't even been there!"
Elder Kai then turned to Kibito and retorted.
"Of course not, you toddler! I've only been there three times myself!"
Then, Kibito Kai gave a look of defeat.
"Right, sir."
Then, he took a careful, worried look at the puzzled Goku and Yurei, let alone Future 21.
"Uh, you okay?", Goku asked.
Elder Kai then responded.
"I'm begging you. Please don't make a fool of yourselves while you're there."
Goku felt peeved about that request.
"Why does everyone keep saying that? Do I really seem like a rude type of guy that can't behave himself?"
Then, the three Kai's responded bluntly.
"Yes, you do."
Yurei then explained why.
"Why do you think I kept telling you not to behave like this in the first place?", Yurei added.
Goku then chuckled and brushed it aside.
"You guys are funny."
As Yurei sighed with disgust, Kibito seemed to know the situation.
"We don't seem to be getting through."
Yurei then slightly retorted to Kibito.
"Gee, you think?"
Supreme Kai decided that Time is of the essence.
"I suppose we shouldn't keep him waiting.", he figured.
Goku, Yurei, and Future 21 agreed while Whis was thankful.
"Right!", the three visitors agreed in unison.
"We do appreciate the ride, sir.", Whis thanked.
Then, Supreme Kai turned around and put his hands on Goku and Whis' backs while Yurei and 21 put their hands on his shoulders.
"Kai, Kai.", uttered Supreme Kai.
Then, the four of them vanished.
Far away, in the center multiversal landscape, there was a big blue mushroom with Grand Zeno's palace floating 10 feet above the ground just as Supreme Kai, Whis, Goku, Yurei, and Future 21 arrived.
Goku was quite astonished as were Yurei and Future 21.
"Oh, wow.", Goku said.
"I know.", Yurei agreed.
"It looks so beautiful.", Future 21 concurred.
Goku can guess what it was.
"So, that's it, huh? This is Zeno's house."
Then, they noticed a being with a blue ring behind his head before he bowed and spoke.
"Welcome, my friends, and thank you for coming.", the stranger greeted.
Then, Supreme Kai walked next to Goku with Whis next to Future 21 before both bowed.
"It has been too long.", the Kai and Angel replied in unison.
Then, the stranger Goku, Yurei, and Future 21 before he smiled and chuckled, slightly surprising them before the stranger spoke to them.
"You must be the Saiyan Goku and the Yurei from the future-how nice to meet you."
Goku then greeted him the usual way.
"Yo!"
Then, Supreme Kai elbowed Goku in the leg, prompting him to correct him self and be more polite.
"Uh, yes, sir! Hi, sir!", Goku greeted.
Then, Yurei greeted him as well as he bowed.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Yurei. And you are..?"
Then, the stranger felt it best to introduce himself.
"Oh. Very well. I am the Grand Minister."
Yurei grew a bit surprised before he got his calm state back.
"I see."
Then, the Grand Minister turned to Future 21.
"And who is this?", asked the Great Minister.
Then, Future 21 introduced herself with a formal bow.
"Oh. Right. My name is Android 21, sir."
Frankly, the Grand Minister was quite surprised by her presence, but gave a smile.
"Hmm. It's nice to meet you, 21."
As Future 21 gave a short giggle while standing up straight, Whis explained the attire problem.
"We wanted to arrive as soon as possible, so please forgive these mortals' informal attire.", Whis apologized.
As Goku chuckled embarrassedly, the Grand Minister was willing to overlook that oversight.
"Don't be trifled for a moment, my friends. After all, for you three, these are the most important and meaningful outfits you have, are they not?", the Grand Minister asked.
Yurei answered bluntly, yet respectfully.
"Yeah. As a matter of fact, they are. Always have been."
The Grand Minister decided to let them in the temple.
"Let me show you the way, lady and gentlemen."
Then, eventually, they were inside the temple, seemingly walking on white light, surrounded by rows and columns of pillars. Goku had thoughts about him.
"That guy may not look like much, but I get the feeling he'd be tough in the ring.", Goku stated.
Whis knew that he was not far from the truth.
"Most keenly recognized, Goku. Many would be deceived by his appearance, but when it comes to fighting prowess, the Grand Minister is considered to be in the top five. Among all the universes."
Having heard this fact, Goku spoke in surprise.
"Yeah? That's awesome!", Goku exclaimed.
Yurei then spoke to Goku with a whisper.
"Look, Kakarot, I may know your tendencies very well, but you are not to fight him under any circumstances, do you hear me?", urged Yurei.
Goku had a slight complaint.
"Aw, man, but now I'm all curious!"
Whis understood the urgent situation and explained better.
"You just have to take my word for it. Suffice it to say not even I can hold a candle to him."
Goku was quite impressed with this fact.
"Whoa! So, he's that good, huh? Guess this trip was worth it, after all.", Goku admitted.
As Supreme Kai sighed and Goku chuckled a bit, Yurei wanted to know something.
"Speaking of trips, why did you want to come with us, 21?"
Future 21 stammered in surprise for a bit before she responded see with a nervous blush and a grin.
"B-Because I like you.", Future 21 admitted.
Yurei grew surprised a bit before he grinned.
"You know what? Me too."
Then, they suddenly teleported.
At the center of the temple, there was a rainbow-like light shining in the throne at the center where Grand Zeno and his guards were. At that moment, the Grand Minister and the five visitors appeared before he bowed to Zeno.
"The Saiyans Goku and Yurei of Universe 7, as requested, sire.", the Grand Minister said.
Grand Zeno was very happy to see and hear that.
"Oh, yippie, yippie! I'm very happy now!"
As Grand Zeno hopped off his seat, Supreme Kai bowed to Grand Zeno as Yurei bowed to him the way Beerus bowed to him the last time he saw him as Grand Zeno walked up to them while Future 21 had thoughts with an excited smile.
"That's Grand Zeno? He looks so adorable!", thought Future 21.
"Welcome, funny Goku!", Grand Zeno greeted.
Goku then raised his hand.
"What's up?!", Goku greeted.
Then, as Future 21 gave an excited smile, Yurei cleared his throat at Goku, who quickly corrected himself.
"Uh, I mean good day and greetings!"
Then, suddenly, Future 21 hugged Grand Zeno, surprising everyone around.
"Aw! Aren't you just the cutest?! You're just so adorable I just want to pinch you!", Future 21 cooed to Zeno, who was just as surprised as them.
However, his guards did not take the hug lightly.
"You dare attack the Omni-King?!", the guards shouted as they moved in closer, threatening to attack.
That caused Future 21 to panic about before she ceased her hug and then apologized to both Grand Zeno and his guards.
"Sorry about this. I used to be a mother at one point in my life, so that's why I hugged him."
Then, the guards moved back into their posts as they spoke with assurance.
"Hmm. Very well, then.", the guards uttered.
As Future 21 chuckled nervously, Goku spoke to Grand Zeno.
"So, anyway, what's going on with you?"
Chapter 2
Grand Zeno then floated upward to Goku's hand before he spoke the reason for his request to see Goku.
"I'm not asking much. I just want a friend, you see."
Then, Zeno pulled Goku a bit closer, surprising Yurei, Future 21, Supreme Kai, and Whis before he floated around him.
"You're not like most people-you're fun! I want you to be my friend, okey-dokey?", Grand Zeno told Goku.
From hearing that, Goku got a bit nervous.
"And?"
Grand Zeno grew puzzled about his hesitation.
"And what?"
Goku then explained a bit of his hesitation.
"And now that we're friends, just what are we gonna do?", Goku asked.
From that kind of scene, the guards gave a glare at Goku, but Zeno seemed chill about it as he responded.
"We can play!"
Goku wanted to know something else, as much as he enjoyed playing.
"We could do that, I guess, but is that the only reason you called?", Goku asked.
Grand Zeno, in fact, knew there was another reason, but he wanted to know something.
"Not really. But is that bad?", Grand Zeno asked.
Supreme Kai then panicked and blurted the words out.
"Of course not, Grand Zeno! Goku would feel privileged to play with you as many hours, days, or years as you wish, and provide you unsurpassed joy!", exclaimed Supreme Kai.
However, both Yurei and Future 21 quickly voted against it in an annoyed manner while all the same, Grand Zeno felt that outburst to be rude.
"You be quiet.", Grand Zeno, Yurei, and Future 21 spoke together.
Then, Supreme Kai panicked and bowed again.
"Yes, sire!", shouted Supreme Kai.
Then, Grand Zeno wanted to know if Goku had something he wanted to clear up.
"Are you trying to tell me something, Saiyan Goku?"
Goku knew that Zeno can just call him by his name.
"You know, you can just call me Goku.", he stated.
Grand Zeno seemed fine with it.
"Just Goku? Yes, that's fun. Then, what should you 'just call' me?", asked Grand Zeno.
Goku tried to think of a fitting nickname for him.
"Uh... Like a nickname? Hmmm. How 'bout Zenny?", Goku figured.
Upon hearing this answer, the guards gave a glare while both Future 21 and the Grand Minister chuckled, Yurei and Whis grew surprised, and Supreme Kai fainted. Fortunately, Grand Zeno seemed cool with the nickname.
"Oh, yes, Zenny is a very fun name. What should Zenny and Goku play?", asked Grand Zeno.
Goku felt a bit nervous and had to politely refuse.
"I'm sorry. I'd love to play, but now's a bad time. There's something I've got to take care of, but when it's done we can play. I swear!", Goku stared.
However, the guards grew very testy at his refusal and floated toward him.
"You dare defy the Omni-King?!", exclaimed the guards.
Grand Zeno had to let the guards know that it is all right somehow.
"You will go back, or bye-bye.", Zeno warned.
Then, the guards panicked and moved backward to their posts.
"Aaah! Uh, we're sorry, sire!", the guards quivered.
Then, Grand Zeno wanted to know what the business was.
"So, what business do you have that's important, Goku?"
Goku shrugged his head a bit.
"Well, I don't want to bore you with details.", Goku said before he chuckled nervously.
Yurei felt that Grand Zeno has a right to know.
"Talk, darn it! This news affects every Universe, not just ours!", Yurei shouted.
Grand Zeno then remembered another reason.
"Oh, that's right. Another reason I wanted to see you guys was because I already know what's going on in Universe 7 involving Goku Black and the Time Machine."
Whis and Supreme Kai panicked the way Beerus and Whis did from the mention of Zeno's request earlier.
"But that's okay. Under normal circumstances, it would be very bad, but that just means that the Great Prophecy is coming soon, doesn't it?", Zeno asked.
As Whis and Supreme Kai sighed in relief, Yurei felt that there was something he needed to check first before he nodded and then presented his Time Ring.
"Yeah, but first, tell me. Am I truly worthy enough to hold this ring?", Yurei asked.
After a moment, Grand Zeno stated his answer.
"Of course you are."
The answer puzzled Yurei.
"Really?"
Grand Zeno mm-hmm' before he gave the answer.
"That means you're the chosen one, destined to save our multiverse with allies from Universes 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 throughout time."
Yurei sighed before he decided to give his plea.
"Thanks. Oh, that reminds me. Do you think you can send me some help before we return to the future?"
Grand Zeno mm-hmm'd in response before he asked something.
"Who would you like me to bring?", Zeno asked.
Yurei thought of the one person he had in mind.
"Well, for starters, there's Bardock. He risked his life to save Planet Vegeta from Frieza 40 years ago, but failed. I just don't think it's right. Oh, and also bring in his wife, Gine. That sound good?"
Grand Zeno nodded as he responded.
"It's a deal."
Then, the Omni-King turned to the Grand Minister.
"Can you go fetch Bardock and Gine and then bring them here?", Zeno asked.
The Grand Minister was willing to comply.
"As you wish, sire."
Then, he got out a purple colored Time Ring with a blue infinity symbol on it before he spoke the years he will travel back at Planet Vegeta.
"40 at Planet Vegeta!", exclaimed the Grand Minister before the bubble appeared and he vanished.
Goku grew puzzled about the two Saiyans.
"Bardock and Gine? Who are they?"
Yurei then gave a friendly grin to Goku.
"You'll see, Kakarot."
Meanwhile, 40 years ago on Planet Vegeta, the Grand Minister arrived on the planet before a woman with a pink battle suit spoke to him.
"Excuse me, but who are you?", asked the Saiyan Woman.
The Grand Minister then turned to her and wanted to know something.
"Tell me. Are you named 'Gine'?", the Grand Minister asked.
The woman got surprised and responded.
"Uh, yes. I am."
Then, the Grand Minister put her hand on her shoulder.
"Then, time is of the essence. We must pick up your husband Bardock, and leave."
Gine grew puzzled and wanted to know why.
"But why?"
"All will be explained in due time!"
The Grand Minister stated before he teleported himself met and himself to outside Planet Vegeta where Bardock was confronting Frieza.
"Frieza!", shouted Bardock.
Gine grew very worried.
"Oh, no. Is that... Frieza?", asked Gine.
The Grand Minister hung his head down a bit.
"I'm afraid so."
Gine gasped while Bardock shouted at Frieza.
"Why in the world are you attacking us?!"
Frieza gave a sort of evil smirk.
"So, the legendary 'Super Saiyan' has shown up? How very unsavory."
Then, Bardock suddenly had a vision that allowed him to see Goku in Super Saiyan Blue, or Super Saiyan Azure, form against Frieza in his golden New Form.
"Allow me to continue my Vengeance.", Golden Frieza stated as he got into his fighting pose.
Then, as the two began their fight, Bardock was brought back to reality.
"This... this will change everything!"
However, Gine did not feel the same out of worry for her husband.
"Y-You can't! It's not fair! I can't lose you! Not like this!"
Then, the Grand Minister spoke.
"And you won't! Because I'm here to pick you and Bardock up from this era of time."
Gine grew puzzled about what the Grand Minister said.
"Wait, 'this era of time'? What do you mean?"
"As I said, all will be explained in due time."
Both unaware that Gine was here, Frieza began preparing his Supernova as Bardock launched his blue Ki Blast toward him just as the big ball of fire expanded.
"I'll show you some beautiful fireworks.", Frieza threatened.
Then, he made good on his threat with but a simple movement of his finger, launching it toward Bardock, quickly disrupting the blue Blast.
"What?!", gasped Bardock.
Then, the Grand Minister and Gine arrived by Bardock.
"You'll need to come with us! We haven't much time!", the Grand Minister urged.
Bardock was unsure while Gine felt there was no other way.
"Can we even trust him?!", Bardock shouted.
"Do we even have a choice?!", Gine rebuffed.
"Return!", shouted the Grand Minister after he held out his Time Ring.
Then, the trio vanished just before the Supernova attack could touch them. It then headed for Planet Vegeta and began destroying it, much to Frieza's amusement as he laughed maniacally.
Then, the group arrived at Grand Zeno's palace in the present.
"Huh? Wh-where are we?", Gine asked.
"We are now at Grand Zeno's palace.", the Grand Minister told Zeno who nodded as he responded back.
"Thanks, Grand Minister."
Yurei felt the same way.
"Yeah. Thank you so much.", Yurei concurred.
Then, Bardock noticed Goku, let alone Yurei, and gave a surprised look.
"What the..! Turnid and Kakarot? That can't be.", Bardock said.
Then, Gine turned to notice them as well.
"Wait, what?! They're here?!"
Goku then turned to see the pair.
"Hi, I'm Goku! And you guys must be..."
Then, Yurei spoke to Goku.
"They just so happen to be your parents, Kakarot."
That response, frankly, surprised Goku.
"Whaaaa?! You mean to tell me you brought my parents here?!"
Gine gave a slightly nervous grin while Bardock spoke to his son.
"I see. You've grown big, Kakarot."
Yurei felt like he had a lot to explain when they get back to Earth, but likewise felt grateful.
"Well, I guess I've got some explaining to do, but other than that, thank you, Grand Zeno."
"Of course. If things get too rough, you can call in more help here, anytime."
Yurei felt humbled by that and bowed as he responded.
"Many thanks, Grand Zeno."
Grand Zeno realized what he wanted to ask him.
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
Yurei grew puzzled.
"Forgot what, Grand Leader?", asked Yurei.
"Once you're done with your matter with Goku Black, you, Goku, and the pink lady will play with me?", Zeno asked.
Future 21 felt slightly embarrassed and then stated her name in a respectable way.
"Uh, no disrespect, but my name is Android 21. I forgot to tell you earlier."
Grand Zeno felt that to be a slight mishap on his part.
"Oops. Sorry, I forgot to ask for your name, 21."
21 only grinned and understood.
"It's okay, Grand Leader."
Then, Goku was not only willing to agree to that, but also try to give someone else first.
"In any case, sure! And if you want, I can bring somebody else who would be even more fun to play with too, so the next time, you won't have to wait on me.", Goku answered.
Then, Future 21 pitched in.
"In fact, I'll even stay with you. After the matter with Goku Black, that is."
Yurei grew puzzled as the conversation continued.
"Really?", asked Zeno.
"Yeah, no problem!", Goku replied.
"Of course.", Future 21 agreed.
Grand Zeno felt happy and decided to use something to show that he and Goku agreed on something.
"Okay, it's a date! Oh, hey, we can do that silly thing we did last time, Goku, to show we agreed on something!"
Goku grew puzzled about the thing.
"What thing?", Goku asked.
Then, Grand Zeno giggled as he put his hands on Goku's before he got the gist.
"Oh! Right!"
Then, much to Zeno's joy, Goku shook Zeno around in a playful way as he chuckled with Gine looking on with a smile and a laugh.
"You fling me around! It's funny! No one else will try! You can do what no one else can do!", Zeno admitted.
Goku felt there was nothing to it.
"Yeah? It's just a handshake, it's easy!"
Bardock had thoughts to himself with a smile.
"Who would've guessed? He actually took after his mother.", thought Bardock.
Then, the conversation between the two continued.
"Can you show me some other fun things, too?"
Goku can plainly see why Zeno wanted to see more.
"If this is your idea of fun here, it must be boring here. You should come to Earth sometime- there's lots of cool stuff!"
Grand Zeno got excited about that thought.
"Hooray, let's do it!"
Then, Zeno realized that Yurei's clothes are a bit outdated and his Time Ring as well.
"Are you still gonna wear that?"
Yurei felt apologetic.
"Sorry, Grand Zeno. I couldn't find proper attire at the moment."
The Omni-King, however, felt that there was no trouble.
"It's okay. I can give you and Goku a makeover if you want."
Yurei grew puzzled about it, but, all the same, he got excited.
"Y-Yeah. I would like that."
Goku, however, felt a bit unsure.
"Oh, come on, really?"
Grand Zeno grinned.
"Okay."
Play Super Music: "Limit Break"
Then, Zeno lifted up his hand, which glowed a bright white light, shocking Whis, Future 21, Goku, Bardock, Gine, and Supreme Kai.
"Aaaaaaannd... Squish!"
Then, Yurei's clothes and Time Ring as well as Goku's clothes glowed before they shine brightly and changed, blinding everyone around, except for the Omni-King and his guards. After a moment, the light dimmed down to reveal that Goku's clothes are now very similar to Goku Black's clothes, but in his usual orange colors with the overshirt being orange, the undershirt being blue, as well as his sash, pants, and boots, although the sole of his boots are bright blue while Yurei's clothes had changed to a mixture of Beerus' clothes and Goku Black's clothes with the same colors as Whis's attire. The overshirt was as blue as Whis' sash while the undershirt and pants were in the same color as Whis' shirt and pants. He even had the same bracelets as Beerus on his arms, only they were in the same color as his overshirt. To add to that, Yurei had the same symbol on his pants as Beerus and his Time Ring is now the same as the Grand Minister's, surprising Goku and Future 21.
"Whoa!", Goku and Future 21 spoke together.
"Oh, my!", Whis, Supreme Kai, and the Grand Minister said together.
Even Yurei was surprised.
"What the...?!"
Grand Zeno giggled before he explained.
"There you go. Now you both look much better. Even your Time Ring is similar to the Grand Minister's now."
Yurei was speechless.
"I don't know what to say."
Then, Grand Zeno added another fact.
"You can also do Future Mimicry."
Yurei grew puzzled.
"Future Mimicry? What's that?"
"It's a rare ability that can allow you to copy the techniques of your opponent before he can even master it in the near future. Try using it on Goku Black, and you'll see what I mean."
Yurei nodded and understood.
"Right."
Then, as Yurei closed his eyes, he then saw Goku Black turning Super Saiyan Rosé before he opened his eyes and quickly turned Super Saiyan Sapphire, surprising Bardock and Gine.
"What's happening?!", Gine exclaimed.
"I don't know! I can't sense his energy, but the pressure's enough to tell me how strong he is.", Bardock answered.
Then, Yurei took a deep breath and pointed his right arm outward. Afterward, his aura suddenly moved toward his right arm and became a bright blue energy blade, surprising Goku.
"What the heck?!", Goku exclaimed.
Then, Yurei carefully swung his energy blade around and then examined it.
"What's this?", asked Yurei.
Then, Grand Zeno explained.
"You just learned your opponent's future technique before he could even begin to master it. That's the beauty of it. Don't forget that you also hold the Time Ring of the highest degree in all the multiverse. It can do all sorts of things the original rings couldn't, but you need to be careful, okay?"
Yurei grinned and bowed after he caused the energy blade to disappear and turn back to normal form.
"I understand. Thank you very much, Grand Zeno."
Then, he decided to get out something else to Goku.
"Then, I'll give you this!"
Then, he summoned a small blue button on his palm and presents it to Goku.
"Whoa, what is that?", asked Goku.
Grand Zeno can answer that question.
"It is a button. If you push it, then I will appear!", Zeno answered.
Goku wanted to know if it is true, and pushed it, but it didn't do anything. Then, Yurei explained the reason why.
"Uh, Kakarot? It only works if Grand Zeno is far away from us, and right now, he's already there."
Goku felt a bit clumsy about it and grabbed the button before putting it in his belt.
"Oh, right. Sorry. Then, I'll save it for later.", Goku said.
Grand Zeno then decided to say goodbye.
"Remember the friend you promised me, okay?", said Grand Zeno.
"Yeah, will do.", Goku says before he did a handshake with Grand Zeno.
"Bye-bye, 'just Goku!'"
"Bye.", Goku responded.
Then, the visitors, with Bardock and Gine, decided to take their leave.
"Come on, Supreme Kai. Let's go."
Yurei then lifted Supreme Kai up.
"Please tell me it's over."
"It is over, now. You don't have to worry anymore.", Yurei assured the Kai, who sighed in relief.
Goku then laid Supreme Kai on top of his shoulder as he spoke.
"I told you not to worry.", Goku said.
Then, Future 21 said goodbye.
"See you later, Grand Zeno.", Future 21 shouted.
"Okay!", Zeno said as he waved his hand.
Yurei decided to say goodbye as well.
"Well, as you two said once, 'later, gators!'"
Then, the Guards grew puzzled as Goku, Yurei, Future 21, Whis, and Supreme Kai take their leave.
End Super Music: "Limit Break"
On Earth, Future Trunks just got outside and met up with Gohan, now in his fighting Gi as Yurei, 21, 16, Frieza, Cell, Captain Ginyu, Recoome, Burter, Juice, Guldo, Raditz, and Nappa were watching.
"Uh, 16? Who is this?", asked 21.
16 smiled as he answered.
"That's the warrior form the future known as Trunks. He fought by Goku's side at the Cell Games all those years ago."
21 was surprised.
"Wow. That really happened?"
Then, Yurei put his hand on 21' shoulder.
'Yep. That's right. I should know because I saw everything that happened there through meditation.", Yurei answered.
Then, Cell remembered the time he destroyed 16.
"Ah, yes. That reminds me of the time I crushed 16's little head. That brings back some good old fashioned memories, if I do say so myself.", Cell stated.
Yurei felt uneasy about it.
"Yeah. If you say so..."
"So, that's the Saiyan who took your life, Lord Frieza?", asked Nappa.
"Indeed. But let's see how much stronger these two have gotten.", Frieza suggested.
Cell had a supporting opinion of the idea.
"Oh, but, of course. That way, we'll get a clearer idea of how strong they've gotten since we last saw them. How splendid.", Cell admitted.
"Hey, Gohan!", greeted Future Trunks.
"Hey, Trunks. I heard you got stronger than before the last time we trained. You wanna show me what you learned?"
Future Trunks gave a grin.
"You bet!", said Future Trunks.
Play Super Music: "Time to Strike Back"
Then, much to Frieza, Cell, and every has-been villains' amazement and surprise, Future Trunks bellowed as he emitted a massive blue aura, only showing his silhouette through the light, surprising Gohan. Then, Future Trunks raised his voice as he bellowed. A moment after, the blue shell began to crumble away from bottom to top, revealing that Future Trunks' hair had turned as spiky as it was when he went Super Saiyan, but this time, it was bright blue.
Frieza was quite shocked.
"W-What?! This Saiyan can use that form, too?!"
Nappa was quite intrigued.
"Geez. It seems like we really missed a lot."
Needless to say, Gohan was impressed.
"N-No way! You can turn Super Saiyan Azure, too?", exclaimed Gohan.
"Yeah, that's right. So, what do you think, Gohan?", asked Future Trunks in Super Saiyan Azure form.
Gohan gave a grin and a determined look in response.
"You're Vegeta's son, all right."
Elsewhere, Frieza, who was watching from the bushes, was fairly shocked.
"What?! You mean that that Saiyan who sent me to that flower garden the first time was Vegeta's son?!"
Captain Ginyu, though, was puzzled.
"Wait. So you mean an older version of him did this? This just gets curiouser and curiouser."
"That's impressive, I'll give you that. In that case, I won't hold back either."
Then, Gohan bellowed before he went Super Saiyan, eventually getting his unlocked potential back. At that moment, it seemed like both Gohan and Future Trunks were evenly matched.
Elsewhere, Piccolo sensed Gohan's energy while he failed to sense Future Trunks' energy, although he gave a grin from this, puzzling Beerus.
"Now, what are you smiling about?", Beerus asked.
Piccolo gave a scoff with a grin before he answered.
"It's Gohan. He's gotten back into fighting shape."
"W-What the... You have that much power, and you didn't even have to go Super Saiyan?!", exclaimed Future Trunks.
"Yeah. It's kind of a long story, actually. But, I can tell you that much. Supreme Kai unlocked my hidden power a long time ago."
Future Trunks grinned.
"Well, that's good to hear. Now, how about we get this fight started?"
End Super Music: "Time to Strike Back"
Gohan grunted in agreement with a nod before Future Trunks charged toward Gohan, who charged toward him. Then, they clash fists with each other up until Future Trunks kicked Gohan toward the air. Afterward, Gohan recovered himself quickly just as Future Trunks went up into the air. Then, he prepared a similar blue attack with one hand, surprising Gohan.
"Wait. Isn't that..?"
To answer, Future Trunks stated the name of his Attack.
"Big Bang Attack!", shouted Future Trunks before launching the blast toward Gohan, who countered with a Kamehameha blast.
"Kamehame..HA!", shouted Gohan.
Then, the two Blast Attacks collided with each other. It seemed to be a stalemate for a moment before Gohan pushed harder to tip the scales in his favor. No matter how hard Future Trunks tried, he still couldn't keep the Kamehameha at bay. That was when he had to utilize one of the skills King Kai taught him earlier.
"Kaioken!", shouted Future Trunks before the red aura developed over his blue one.
After that, the Big Bang Attack then pushed harder and harder toward Gohan, before the blast eventually caused both the Kamehameha and the Big Bang Attack to explode to cancel each other out, knocking them further away. Then, upon noticing Gohan knocked back, Future Trunks decided to charge toward Gohan to catch up to him. Then, the moment he grabbed Gohan by the shirt, he then gently set him back down to he ground and stood up with a smile.
"You actually fought well, Gohan. You've backed me into a corner for a moment, there.", Future Trunks stated.
Gohan smiled as he stood up while Future Trunks reverted back to normal.
"I could say the same for you. Now that I know what you're capable of, I'm confident that we can defeat Black and save your world."
Future Trunks then nodded with a grin.
"Right."
At that moment, 17 spoke out loud.
"Looks like you're in good shape."
Future Trunks grew puzzled from seeing 17 in his Ranger clothes with a green and white shirt with "MIR" on it and an orange wristband on his left arm.
"What?! 17's here, too?!"
"18 told me about your situation, so I decided to come over and help you guys. I am having a day off after all."
Future Trunks then sighed in relief.
"Phew. Well, that's a relief."
Gohan couldn't agree more.
"Yeah. The more, the merrier."
Then, Frieza stepped forward and spoke.
"For once, I couldn't agree more.", Frieza exclaimed.
Future Trunks was shocked to see Frieza here, as we're Gohan, 17, and 18.
"F-Frieza?!", Future Trunks exclaimed
"Cell?!", 17 shouted as Cell smirked before he spoke.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Androids 17 and 18. So, tell me. How did things go for you two?", asked Cell.
"How did you two come back to life?!", Gohan shouted.
"And while we're on the subject, how did your friends even get here?", 18 asked.
"Simple. We've been revived with the Dragon Balls. Now, then... what say we have a little spar of our own?", Frieza suggested.
Future Trunks reached for his sword and prepared for battle when Beerus and Piccolo arrived and then stopped the fight.
"Oh, no, you don't."
Frieza grew surprised by the sight of him.
"L-Lord Beerus?! What are you here for this time?!", exclaimed Frieza.
Beerus then answered.
"Excuse me, but I just so happen to be training Piccolo as Whis instructed me, but he decided to pay his pupil a visit, which led us up to this point."
Piccolo then turned to Gohan.
"I sensed your energy during the fight, Gohan. You've made me really proud.", Piccolo admitted.
Gohan gave a smile and nodded.
"Thanks."
Beerus then spoke to Frieza.
"Anyway, Frieza, you can't fight him yet, because the boy that killed you the first time is in the middle of training to go up against an even bigger threat, so you'll just have to reschedule that appointment."
Frieza grew irksome and curious at the same time.
"An even bigger threat?! That's ridiculous! And yet, I suppose it makes sense if he trained so hard to attain this 'Super Saiyan Azure'."
Then, Frieza came to a decision.
"Very well. We shall assist you and your comrades on this grand endeavor."
17 and 18 grew puzzled.
"What?", 17 puzzled.
"You mean you don't mind fighting with a few Saiyans on our side?", 18 concurred.
"Don't get the wrong idea, earthling. I do despise the Saiyans, but recently, I don't despise them as much anymore since our revival."
Nappa agreed.
"That's right, kid. If you need any of our help, we'll gladly give it to you, if necessary."
Beerus only gave a suspicious glare.
"We'll see about that.", thought Beerus.
Meanwhile, Goku wanted to check on Supreme Kai as Whis and the Grand Minister looked on.
"You okay, Supreme Kai? You totally fainted."
"Yes. I'm fine."
Meanwhile, Bardock and Gine were caught up with everything that led up to now.
"So, that's what happened in your future, huh?", Bardock asked.
"Yeah. That's pretty much how it went.", Yurei stated.
Frankly, Gine felt bad for him.
"Sorry to hear about this, Yurei. Are you sure you're okay?"
Yurei nodded his head.
"Yeah. I've learned a lot since then. As for what happened in the present timeline, I don't know. But that may be something you can ask Kakarot later on."
Bardock gave a sort of grin.
"I get it."
As they spoke, the Grand Minister and Whis had a conversation of their own with Yurei and Future 21 looking on.
"You have quite an interesting friend there.", stated the Grand Minister.
"Indubitably.", Whis admitted.
"I would enjoy seeing him again myself, if possible.", he informed Whis.
"I know he would be delighted as well."
Then, they turned to each other.
"Until next time."
Then, they bowed to each other before Whis, Yurei, and Future 21 walked over to Goku and Supreme Kai.
"Kai-Kai."
Then, they teleported out of the temple with Bardock and Gine in tow.
Back at Universe 7, Elder Kai sighed in relief.
"Whew! That's done."
"Thank goodness, you're all right.", Kibito said.
Supreme Kai then wanted to know something.
"Oh, by the way, Goku, what was that business about you promising to bring Grand Zeno an even better companion next time? Who do you have in mind for that?", asked Supreme Kai.
Elder Kai was very shocked to hear that.
"Wait, you promised what?!"
Future 21 spoke about her solution.
"Don't worry about it. I volunteered to stay with Grand Zeno after the matter with Goku Black, remember Supreme Kai?"
Supreme Kai was quite puzzled.
"Wait, you said 'Goku Black', right? Who is he?"
Goku gave a nervous chuckle before he laughed nervously and then spoke.
"Don't worry about it, it's fine! I'll think of something later, okay?", Goku nervously assured.
Yurei then took a deep breath, as did Future 21 before he spoke.
"I hope you figure something out, Kakarot, because if you don't, I'll have no choice but to step in."
Back on Earth, he was finishing up on his training with Piccolo.
"Well done, Piccolo. It seems you've got the basics down. Let's give it a test run. Try using that 'destruction' power on that stump over there."
Piccolo nodded before he held his right hand out.
Play Super Music: "Beerus' Madness (No choir)"
"Noitcurtsed!"
Then, the stump began to fade away into tiny purple dots that vanish, impressing Beerus.
End Super Music: "Beerus' Madness (No Choir)"
"Well done! I didn't think you can utter that in the divine tongue, though."
Piccolo shrugged as he responded.
"It just came to me, I guess. In fact, I remember it from the last time you used that to summon the Super Dragon."
Beerus felt that it made some sense.
"Well, I suppose it makes sense when you put it that way."
Then, Goku, Yurei, Future 21, and Whis returned with Bardock and Gine in tow, surprising him.
"What?! You're back already?! And you brought back two Saiyans from before Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta?!", Beerus said.
Piccolo noticed that they're back.
"Hey there, Goku. So, what happened? And what's with the getup?"
Goku was willing to answer.
"Well, a lot's happened out there, but like I said, he didn't have to worry. Zenny's a totally awesome dude."
Beerus grew quite surprised from hearing this and exclaimed.
"Did you just say 'Zenny'?!"
Then, Beerus fell over to the side and bonked his head in the process, worrying Goku.
"Lord Beerus?"
Bardock grew puzzled.
"Wait. I don't get it. That cat is the Destroyer of this Universe?"
"Yeah. He kinda got surprised about the whole 'Zenny' thing.", Gine concurred.
Whis decided to take it from here.
"You'd better let me handle this from here. You four go tend to that, uh, 'important business'."
As Goku chuckled, Yurei, Future 21, and Piccolo can agree.
"Yeah, it's probably for the best.", Yurei admitted.
"I can't believe he flipped out about the news about Goku's nickname for Grand Zeno.", Future 21 agreed.
"Well, that's the thing about Goku, 21. He's definitely full of surprises, but not always the good kind."
To prove this, Beerus was already seeing planets swirling around his head as his eyes spun around in different t directions.
"He said 'Zenny'. He said 'Zenny'."
Later, Gohan, 17, 18, Gohan, and Future Trunks were introduced to Bardock and Gine.
"Wait a minute! You're my grandfather?!", Gohan exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's right. What's it to you?", Bardock bluntly responded.
Then, Future Trunks spoke.
"Then, you must be his grandmother.", Future Trunks guessed.
"Yeah. I guess I am.", Gine replied.
Gohan felt touched, but all the same, he was weirded out that they just arrived there.
"Wow. To think that my grandparents show up here. That's pretty weird, but still. It is nice to get to know them."
Bardock nodded in agreement as 17 and 18 spoke to each other.
"I never thought we'd see Goku's parents here. Quite the surprise, isn't it?", 17 admitted.
"At this rate, nothing makes sense.", 18 surmised.
Then, Future Trunks remembered something surprising and then had to tell Goku.
"Oh, Goku. About what happened while you three were away, well, there's been some surprising development."
"Development?", Goku asked.
"What is it, Trunks?", asked Vegeta.
"Well, you... probably won't like it.", Future Trunks responded.
Then, as suspected, Goku, Bardock, Gine, Yurei, and Future 21 noticed quite a surprise, in the form of Frieza, Cell, Raditz, Nappa, Ginyu, Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and Guldo with Gohan, 17, 18, and Future Trunks
"WHAT THE HECK?!", Goku exclaimed in surprise while Vegeta, Bardock, Gine, Yurei, and Future 21 practically hung their mouths open.
Then, Bardock gave an angry glare at Frieza.
"Frieza!", Bardock shouted.
"Greetings, Bardock. It has been far too long, hasn't it? Although, I can't help but ponder how it is that you two Saiyans survived.", Frieza admitted.
"For once, I'd say the feeling's mutual.", Bardock commented, seeing as he was also curious as to how Frieza's still there.
Then, Raditz spoke to Goku, with a much less evil smile.
"I can say the same for you, Kakarot; and that's saying something, considering the fact that our parents are alive with us now."
Goku then started to give a serious look to Raditz.
"How did you guys even come back to life, Raditz?", asked Goku.
Then, Nappa appeared and spoke with an answer.
"Apparently, someone revived us with the Dragon Balls on New Namek as allies."
Then, Yurei and Future 21 grew puzzled.
"What?", Yurei puzzled.
"Who was it?", Future 21 asked.
Then, the past Yurei stepped forward and answered as 16 joined him.
"It was me."
Then, both Yurei's get surprised.
"What the..?! You're me?!", shouted the two Yurei's.
Then, Goku grew surprised from seeing two Yurei's.
"Whaaaa?! You mean there are two Yurei's now?"
Vegeta obviously grew peeved with Goku.
"Just how many reactions are you going to pull today?!", said Vegeta before he slapped Goku.
Then, Yurei wanted to know something.
"Just who are you, really?", asked Yurei.
"I'm you from the future.", answered Future Yurei.
Yurei was at a loss for words.
"No way...", gasped Yurei.
Bardock and Gine seemingly reprimanded the past Yurei.
"Never mind that Time Travel business! Just who do you think you are and what gave you the nerve to resurrect the very monster that destroyed our planet?!", Bardock shouted.
"A monster like him doesn't deserve to come back to life!", Gine added.
Frankly, Frieza felt hurt by their remarks, but reacted in a calm manner.
"Ouch. That hurt my feelings.", Frieza responded sarcastically.
Then, 16 decided to break the ice.
"His name is Yurei and he resurrected him and the others as allies, not enemies."
Gine grew curious while Bardock remained suspicious.
"Really?", Gine puzzled.
"How can we know for sure?", Bardock asked.
Then, Goku had an idea rather quickly.
"Usually, the last couple of times I sensed Frieza's energy, it was very bad. But this time, it's different. It's almost like he's not that bad a guy."
Bardock and Gine grew puzzled.
"What?", Gine reacted.
"But, how is that even possible?", Bardock asked.
Then, the past Yurei decided to explain the reason.
"Let's save that for another time. Right now, we're looking for a couple of demons known as Towa and Mira."
Goku and Vegeta grew puzzled as did Yurei.
"Towa and Mira?', Goku reacted.
"Demons?", Vegeta puzzled.
"Who are they?", asked Future Yurei.
Meanwhile, Future 21 and 21 spent a bit of time with each other.
"So, you're me form the future?", asked 21.
"Yep.", answered Future 21.
"I see you have your hunger under control.", 21 assumed.
Future 21 had little idea, but figured it had something to do with her first feeling after her first transformation and then answered.
"In a sense, I guess I did."
At the same time, Yurei explained what went on.
"Towa and Mira are two demons form the Demon Realm that attacked New Namek recently. We managed to drive them back, but there's no telling what they could do next. Seeing as how they can manipulate the evil inside an individual and steal energy, they make quite the double threat. That's why I revived them as allies. Not only so we can get extra help, but also so that they won't fall prey to Towa's magic. At what point in history they are now, I don't know, but all I know is that we have to stop them from reviving the Demon Realm."
Vegeta knew that similar gravity all too well.
"Great. Another Demon affair."
Goku grew quite puzzled.
"Wait a second. How did you get Frieza and the others to help you?", Goku asked.
"Frankly, they're fighting for their own free will, Goku. No one deserves to have that taken away from them, not even has-been villains.", Yurei answered.
Frieza growled at the "has-been villains" comment, but nonetheless understood, seeing that it wasn't far from the truth as Future Yurei saw his point.
"Maybe. There's someone in my timeline that wants to end humanity, too."
Yurei grew puzzled.
"Who is it?", Yurei asked.
Future Yurei tensed before he answered.
"Look, I'll tell you, later. Right now, I've got an idea."
16 grew puzzled.
"What is it?"
"How about I borrow your allies for a while.", Future Yurei answered.
Yurei grew curious.
"Really? But why?'
"Because we might need all the help we can get the way the future is now. Besides, we might run into Towa and Mira there. If we don't, I'll give them back to you. I promise.
Then, Yurei agreed.
"Alright. It's a deal."
Then, the two Yurei's shook hands with each other as Frieza wanted to know something.
"Very well. If we are to go to the future, where should we meet?", Frieza asked.
Then, Future Yurei happened to have an idea.
"I know just the place."
Then, he turned to Gohan and Future Trunks.
"Can you guys explain the development to Bulma? Something tells me that it may be a lot for her to take in.", asked Future Yurei.
Gohan noded as the two half Saiyan's answered.
"Sure.", Gohan answered.
"You got it.", Future Trunks agreed.
Elsewhere, both Bulma's were surprised with Gohan and Future Trunks' news.
"What?! Frieza and the other villains came back to life?!", both Bulma's exclaimed.
"Yeah, but if that isn't odd enough, we don't sense any evil from them anymore.", Gohan added.
"He's right, Mom. Frieza did say that he doesn't hate us as much anymore, so that means they can help us defeat Black, Towa and Mira. That's good, right?", Future Trunks concurred.
Bulma sighed in exhaustion.
"I don't know anymore."
Back at Universe 10's World of the Kai's, Zamasu was pouring tea for Gowasu, before the tea was revealed to be glowing a symbol of Universe 7 as Rose petals began to fall from the tree before his master spoke.
"You used to lack faith in mortals. Tell me why."
Zamasu only presented the tea cup to his master before he spoke further.
"This tea is a mirror pointed inward. If the Soul of its maker is enlightened, the tea will be as well. So, is it curiosity that brightens this cup? Or bewilderment? Speak."
Zamasu then spoke to his master as instructed.
"Master Gowasu, you have said something often. To make mistakes, but learn from them, thus forging a better world. That is the essence of the mortal spirit."
Gowasu nodded in reply before Zamasu spoke further.
Play Super Music: "Reparation"
"But as far as I can see, until today, mortals do not learn this way at all. Planet Babari is no outlier, master. You've seen this countless times before."
Gowasu urged his student about a virtue.
"Patience, Zamasu. Every seed needs time to grow."
Zamasu agreed, but still remained slightly adamant.
"Perhaps. But be that as it may, gardens are tended at times, not just watched. Should a gardener not pluck the weeds? When I was invited here, I thought you would teach me Divine Justice. But until now, all you seem to do as watch as these monsters stain existence with each other's blood, although I can't really blame them. The source of it all has to be from Towa and Mira. This was proven when I cleaned their experiment in half, thus dispelling the evil energy that clouded the Babarian's mind. So, in a way, I think I'm beginning to understand now. The true monsters to blame for that are those Time Breakers, not the mortals themselves."
As he spoke, the tea that was made began to shimmer a began to glow a bright white light with the heat of Ultra Instinct emanating from the tea, intriguing Gowasu, before he spoke to his pupil as if he was his psychiatrist.
"Zamasu, do you ever ponder the relationship between good, evil, and justice?"
Zamasu can answer that question.
"Yes. All the time. Evil is the great obstacle to good. And justice, the sword by which good can overcome this obstacle and flourish, or so I thought, at least. But now, I'm beginning to understand that justice is not a sword eradicating evil, but rather a scale keeping good and evil in balance."
Gowasu knew he was correct.
"That is correct. One can succumb to evil, but reject that darkness and rediscover the light with new understanding. Justice makes that journey possible. Evil informs good, and that's why we give the mortals their minds."
Zamasu then spoke to his master as the roses turned pink with an opinion of his own, supporting his belief.
"That may be true, but for the case of Towa, Mira, and their abominable replica of 21, you give corruption far too much credit. That kind of evil does not inform good. It sullies it. Like the Babari, under Towa's twisted mind control, sullied their world with violence. And Yurei did all he could to prevent Goku from sullying this sacred ground. Mortals receive the divine gift of intellect. The potential for wisdom-but the denizens of the demon realm misuse it to destroy the beauty of creation. Mortals may be likely to succumb to evil and reject it later on, but unlike that curious demon known as Fu, Towa and Mira aren't. They are the evil. They create it and spread it with minds they shouldn't possess. Forgive me for asking this, master, but how can we call ourselves gods if we watch this blight and do nothing to stop it?"
Suddenly, the tea began to shine a symbol of the Omni-King, with a blue heat around it. When Gowasu noticed this, he spoke to Zamasu.
"Zamasu. You have a strong hunger for justice and that can be a great thing, but we must put temperance over righteousness and guide lost children to the good path at a pace that seems slow even for us. Do not forget the true reason you have honed your fighting ability is to strengthen your mind for your journey toward enlightenment. Just remember that being gods does not make us perfect. We, too, must learn and mature over time."
Zamasu turned to his master with a grin and bowed.
"What makes you think I haven't started?"
After responding, Zamasu bowed before Gowasu suggested what he should do next.
"Reflect on our discussion as you make more tea."
Later, Zamasu was already at the temple with more tea before he looked up at the bright white and pink rose petals.
"Something has to be done about those demons... before they change history for the worst."
Meanwhile, Gowasu saw the reflection of the tea that had the white Omni-king symbol with a blue heat around it.
End Super Music: "Reparation"
Back at Planet Earth, Bulma got out the Capsule for the Time Machine.
"Okay, guys, get ready to be impressed!", shouted Bulma.
Then, Bulma chuckled a bit and even did a fanfare after the Capsule turned into the newly repaired Time Machine, surprising Goku, Vegeta, Future Trunks, Future Mai, Gohan, Piccolo, Bardock, Gine, Yurei, and Future 21.
"Wow, it looks brand new!"
"That's great!", both Yurei and Future 21 shouted together.
Pilaf can see the surprise.
"Of course! We're the ones who polished it."
Mai and Shou agreed to prove his point.
"I can't feel my hands.", says the two helpful henchmen.
Then, Trunks pitched in.
"Yeah, and I helped some, too!"
Bardock gave a scoffing grin.
"Well, if you say so, kid."
Then, Goku, who was already caught up with events that took place while he, Yurei, and Future 21 were meeting Grand Zeno, turned to Frieza and spoke as did Vegeta.
"You and your friends can come with us if you want, Frieza, but you better not be up to any of your old tricks. You got that?"
"Try anything, and I'll send you all on a one-way ticket back to otherworld. You hear me?", Vegeta warned.
Goku then turned to Yurei and spoke to him about Zamasu.
"Hey, Yurei. I know what you said, but don't give up on Zamasu just yet. He may have turned out bad in the future, but right now, in this timeline, there's still hope for him. You just gotta have faith in him, that's all.", Goku assured him.
Yurei gave a puzzled look before he grinned and then nodded.
"All right, Kakarot. If you say so.", Yurei answered.
Then, Future Trunks and Future Mai felt grateful, as did Future Bulma.
"Thank you, Bulma. For everything.", thanked Future Mai.
"Yeah, I can't thank you enough.", Future Trunks agreed.
Then, Future Bulma spoke next.
"You know, for another version of me, you're not had."
Bulma giggled before she responded.
"Right back at ya, me."
Future Bulma giggled as Vegeta ushered Future Trunks to the Time Machine.
"C'mon, Trunks. Let's go.", said Vegeta.
Then, Future Trunks smiled before he agreed.
"Right."
Then, while Goku, Future Trunks, and Vegeta were in one Time Machine, Future Mai, Future Bulma, and Future 21 were in another as both hovered into the air.
As Future Trunks looked to Bulma, she thought to herself.
"Vegeta, Goku, look after my boy, okay?", thought Bulma.
Then, as soon as both time machines left, Yurei turned to Bardock, Gine, Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, Android 17, Android 18, Frieza, Cell, Nappa, Raditz, Ginyu, his four comrades, and Tien before he held his right fist out.
"All right. Now press your fists against the ring and say '17'. We'll travel to that many years ahead.", Yurei instructed.
Bardock and Gine nodded before they did as Yurei instructed as did the others.
"17!", said the group.
Then, the bubble appeared before they vanished before Bulma decided to call someone to fix the holes.
"Hmm. Maybe I'll call Yamcha and get him to fix these holes."
The present Yurei and 21 decided to pitch in.
"Why don't we help out, too?", Yurei suggested.
"Yeah. It's the least we can do.", 21 added.
As Bulma giggled, 16 gave a grin.
"Sure. Why not?", Bulma answered.
"I'll assist you both as well.", 16 said as he walked to the pair.
Then, Yurei clutched his hand into a fist and grinned,
"All right, then. Let's get going.", Yurei announced.
Meanwhile, in the dark, stormy, rainy future timeline, just as the two time machines appeared, Yurei, Bardock, Gine, Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, 17, 18, Frieza, Cell, Nappa, Raditz, Ginyu, Recoome, Butter, Jeice, Guldo, and Krillin arrived. While Future Trunks, Future Mai, Vegeta, Future Bulma, and Future 21 landed gracefully from the Time Machines after they land and open, Goku fumbled it up and landed on his tuchus, thereby getting a sort of pain on both his bottom and his head.
"My head! I was staring out the window and it made me dizzy."
Vegeta and Yurei were equally annoyed with him.
"Moron."
"Honestly, what am I gonna do with you?", Yurei concurred.
Then, Future Trunks turned one Time Machine back into a capsule while Future Mai did the same for the other one before both bent down and picked them up.
"So, this is the timeline you originate from, correct?", asked Frieza.
"Unfortunately, yes.", Future Mai answered.
"It has been a year since Black first arrived. Now look at the shape it's been.", Future Bulma added.
"Wow. Looks way worse than we thought.", commented Goku.
Frankly, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Gine, 17, 18, and Tien couldn't believe it while Frieza and Cell had their own reactions.
"What could've happened out there?", asked Gohan.
"If I had to guess, I'd say Black's recent attack against humanity.", Piccolo guessed.
"What?! You mean to tell me that Black is literally that strong?!", Krillin exclaimed.
"I know. That kind of power, it's almost as despicable as Frieza's.", Gine agreed.
"Despicable, you say? As much as I enjoy the compliment, the work done here is quite irksome.", Frieza commented.
"Indeed. And as much as I would like to destroy this city, that seems like too big a step, even for me.", Cell concurred.
"Despicable doesn't even begin to cover it. The entire city's ecosystem has been thrown off.", 17 concurred.
"I can't believe that my future self would do a thing like this, let alone Black."
Krillin then turned to his wife.
"This isn't your fault, 18. It was Black, remember?"
Tien can agree with him there.
"He's right. Black's the one enemy we have in common. So, if we defeat him, then we can restore peace to his future.", Tien stated.
Then, 18 grinned while Bardock turned to Future 21.
"All right. Now that we're here, what do we do from here?", asked Bardock.
"First, we have to get to the underground resistance headquarters.", answered Future 21. "It used to be an underground base for the Red Ribbon Army, but since Black showed up, we turned it into a base of operations for the resistance to plan our strategy and take in all refugees left over from Black's recent attacks."
Bardock was determined than ever to end Black once and for all.
"Good. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can end Black once and for all."
"Agreed. But first, we may have to tend to our honorable guests from above.", Frieza warned.
Bardock grew puzzled.
"What?"
Little did they know that as the conversation progressed during the walk, as Frieza suspected, the resistance were already well-hidden and began to shoot at Goku, somewhat convinced that either Goku, or Bardock, is Black, causing them to look up in alarm as the five bullets moved in toward the two of them, although Bardock gave a serious, determined look while Goku gave a panicked one.
A/N: Bingo! Zamasu saves the babarian instead of killing him! Can you believe that?! Now, then. If you have any suggestions I can add for the episode where Goku Black first turns Super Saiyan Rose, now would be a good time to post them. I can only take them until Thursday. That gives me enough time to work them out. Also, Future Pan will appear in the next episode. Just thought I'd let you know. If you want, I could also add in Bulma's transformation into Majin Buulma to assist Goku, Vegeta, Future Trunks, Future Mai, Yurei, Future Pan, Android 21, Fu, and their universal allies against Goku Black, Zamasu, Towa, Mira, Android 21 (Evil), Dabura, and Demigra what with their funny reactions; like Zamasu's for example as a result of Ginyu switching bodies with Goku Black in Super Saiyan Rose form. Well, maybe not that part with Ginyu, but I just like Zamasu's reaction to all this. It's so funny! :) One more thing, though. The stormy background in Trunks' future is actually quite similar to a dark cloudy background as shown in "Dragon Ball Super" Episode 87, to make things clear. For the reason why, let's just say there's gonna be some major weather change that starts off as gradual in the next episode, to make things epic. Until next time.
