Chapter 7 is now here.
And I should say now that this story, even with the little votes, is leaning towards a harem. If it does happen to become a harem, then I will be choosing the girls who will be apart of it. Not that any suggestions would be neglected. It's that the girls I have thought of will fit into the plot of the story easier. The poll will be up on my profile for a couple more weeks, just a reminder. And there is going to be a special character in the harem if it goes in that direction. Hint: she works at a pastry shop in Sainan.

"Hmm…"
Gid was sitting on his thrown in front of a screen. On the screen was a paused image of Goku going Kaio-ken x20. The ruler of the universe had just finished watching the fight and listening to the boy's life story. All of it seemed unreal but there are a multitude of possibilities within the vast expanse of the universe.
"Dear, what are you watching?" A woman with long pink hair asked. She wore a white dress and a veil over her face. The woman's voice was like music to the king's ears as he turned to her.
"It's about the man Lala wishes to marry." Gid said, excitement laced in his voice. "This is a recording of the boy against Zastin."
"Oh? Lala has found someone she likes?" The woman asked as she looked at the screen. Gid unpaused the recording and let it play. The two watched as the boy was wrapped in red Ki and disappeared before sending Zastin flying with a punch. It continued with the boy having the upper hand until Zastin pulled out his sword.
"Ara, he made Zastin use Amanogawa." The pink haired woman looked in surprise at the boy who kept showing his mastery in martial arts. "Who is this boy? He looks human."
"His name is Son Goku. And from the recording that Zastin had sent me, it seems he came from another universe." Gid was smirking like a madman. Never had he thought that there would be someone like Goku that existed.
"Is that so… Dear you have yet to answer my question." Gid visibly flinched at the woman's soft but demanding voice.
"No he is not human. His race is known as the saiyans… and from the information Zastin gathered, it seems that saiyans seem to be the devilukian counterparts of his universe." Now there was something she wasn't expecting. Devilukians were the strongest race in the universe with Gid standing high above the rest.
Now it seems Lala has found someone who could potentially surpass Gid himself. But then there was the problem of the other suitors who would not like this news.
"Dear… how do you think those three would react?" The woman asked.
"We both know how they will react. In fact the moment I make Goku's presence known to the universe, they will have already made their first move." The king said with a hint of enjoyment.
"So what are we going to do with Goku-san?" Gid thought for a moment before smirking to himself.
"Nothing." Gid laughed. "Let's just leave things as they are and wait."
"Do you plan to have Goku-san protect Lala until they wed?"
"... Goku claimed to be the protector of the Earth." The man said with less energy than earlier. "Those fragile humans are lucky… I need to speak with Zastin."
The woman nodded and moved to his side, her eyes traveling past the screen and onto two pink headed girls hiding around the corner. She smiled as the two who seemed to think they were unnoticed. Moments later a screen appeared with Zastin knelt down in front of them in a new set of armor; the same model as his last.
"Gid-sama, Sephie-sama… I take it you were pleased by Goku-dono's performance?" Zastin asked the man.
"It was entertaining…" Gid then pulled out a small bean from his pocket, getting a confused glance from the pink haired woman. "And these… senzu beans was what Goku called it; are a very gracious gift."
"Goku-dono had said that he had more than enough."
"Zastin… I would like to speak too Goku." Zastin's eyes widened at that. Goku must have made a big impression on Gid if he wanted to talk to him.
"Would you like for Lala-sama to be with him?"
"No. Bring Goku alone. What I want to talk to him about should be discussed in private." Gid told his knight, leaving no room for argument.
"Yes Gid-sama! I will bring Goku to my ship tomorrow." With that he ended the connection, leaving the king to his thoughts. He was rolling the senzu bean around in his hand while looking straight ahead of him.
"Momo! Nana! You can stop hiding, I knew you were there the whole time." Two girls with pink hair fell from their hiding spot around the corner. Gid threw the Senzu bean towards the two girls before standing, and walked out of the room.
"Dear, where are you going?" Sephie asked while watching the man move out of the thrown room.
Gid stopped in his place before looking over his shoulder, a feral smirk on his face.
"Goku is about to be the most targeted person in the galaxy." And with that the man left the room to address the universe of Lala's new fiance.
Yuuki House
"*Achoo*... Someone must be talking about me." Goku was sat at the table with empty plates stacked to his left. The only other occupant of the room was Mikan, who was cleaning Goku's dishes.
"Zastin-san must have shown Gid-san the recording of your fight by now." Mikan stated while scrubbing down a plate.
"Lord Gid is the strongest in the universe huh…?" Goku leaned back in his seat while Mikan shot him an irritated look. "I can't wait to see how power-"
"You stop right there! Goku-kun you are not going to challenge Gid-san to a fight, understand!" Mikan told him. After Goku told them about his life, his quirks were somewhat easier to spot. One of them being his insatiable lust to fight new and strong opponents.
"Aww… but Mikan, that's not fair! What if he's trying to destroy the Earth?" Goku wined at the somewhat lost chance to fight Gid.
"Don't try to find an excuse to fight him!" Mikan knew what he was trying to do, and in no way was she having it. "If he plans to destroy the Earth, then that is a different story. But you asking for fights and antagonizing him will only bring trouble."
"I'm not going to antagonize him. I was just going to ask to fight him." And there he goes, with his innocent reasons. But Mikan won't be fooled so easily, she increased her glare' intensity and put her hands on her sides.
"Goku-kun. When the day comes and you have to meet Gid-san." Mikan paused, unnerving the saiyan. His tail was literally standing strait up in fear of the girl. "You. Will. Be. Polite. Got It!?"
"Y-yes… I… I understand Mikan!" Goku was backed up in his seat with his hands raised in front of him.
"Because how you act and what you say reflects on this family." The girl told him because Goku was now apart of the Yuuki family. "And the Earth."
"I understand Mikan. I won't challenge Gid to a fight…" Goku closed his eyes in compliance with the girl. The saiyan peaked an eye open to see Mikan back to washing dishes. "But what if he challenges me?"
"Ugghhh... Goku-kun if it's Gid-san that challenges you, then fight him." Mikan groaned. "If he does ask to fight you then take that as a sign of Earth being in danger."
"Ya, it might just be like that." Mikan glanced at Goku who now was had a serious expression on his face. "Lord Gid might still not have accepted me as Lala's fiance. And if that were the case then Earth will be in trouble."
The room was quiet after that as Goku just sat in his chair watching Mikan finish up. He was going to have to do something for her one of these days, to repay her for all she's done. Looking out the sliding door he saw Rito, working in his garden with a contemplative look on his face.
Rito looked really serious about whatever he was thinking about. When he works in his garden it usually is because he is either extremely happy or very conflicted about something. Goku watched the boy for a few more seconds before turning back to the girl.
"Mikan do you know what's eating Rito?" The girl looked out the door after Goku's question to see her brother. She watched him for a bit before letting out a sigh. "Does it have something to do with Haruna?"
"No… or at least that's probably not the main reason." Mikan continued to watch her brother work for a bit, her eyes showing concern for him. "He must be trying to decide something very important."
"Do you think what I said earlier actually bothered him?" Goku had thought Rito was fine with everything, he even said so. But could that have been a lie?
"No that's not it Goku-kun!" Mikan yelled at the saiyan to make sure that he didn't think things like that. "Rito looks up to you, you're his best friend. You know, before you came into our lives 2 years ago, Rito never really had a best friend."
Goku listened attentively while the girl talked about Rito being his best friend. Goku would have to say that it was true. Even though in school he talked too his other classmates, Rito was the one friend that he could count on the most in school. He was even the one, along with Mikan, who helped him with his studies.
"Well… whatever it is, he'll tell us once he's ready." Goku ended their chat about Rito and began to look around the room. There was someone missing, and he wasn't sure where she went. "Hey Mikan, do you know where Lala went?"
Mikan tore her gaze away from her brother and looked at the saiyan, trying to understand what he said for a moment. Her eyes widened for a moment in realization before returning to normal.
"I think she went up to your room." Mikan told him getting a 'thank you' from the boy.
Goku made his way up to his room to see that the door was closed. Opening it, he was meet with the sight of his gi and saiyan armor piled around on the floor. Looking towards his closet he saw Lala's rear sticking in the air, with her tail waving back and forth. The rest of her was inside his closet, digging through his clothes, and capsules. Stepping into the room and closing the door behind him, he got the girls attention.
"Hey Lala. What are you doin?" Lala froze in her spot with her tail sticking straight in the air, she looked behind her to see Goku smiling at her.
"Hi Goku-kun! I was just looking at these capsules." Lala said holding up a white capsule in her hand. "They all have clothes and armor in in them."
"Ya, all of these gi are my favorites. And the saiyan armor was a gift from Vegeta." Goku said while Lala went and picked up one of Goku's gi; his turtle hermit gi with the kanji for Go on it. The girl looked it over before she put it back down and started to whisper something to Peke.
The next thing that happened, she was covered in a bright light, as Peke changed her form. When the light died down, Lala was standing in a version of Goku's gi. It was the same as the one she held, aside from it being smaller so it could fit on her form. The gi was fine, but the blue shirt underneath looked tight as it accentuated her breasts. Were the symbol of 'Go' was on the front of the gi had changed as well. It was now just two swirled lines, which Goku could guess was Peke's eyes. The last thing was Lala had her tail wrapped around her waist similar to how Goku sometimes has his. In the saiyans eyes, he could say that the gi looked good on the girl.
"Ta-da~! What do you think Goku-kun?" Lala made the most innocent face as she looked up at Goku, who started to blush slightly.
"It looks great on you Lala." The saiyan answered truthfully.
The girl giggled as she hugged Goku before looking at the capsule still in her hand. She pressed the button out of curiosity and waited… nothing happened.
"Muu~ Goku-kun, nothing came out of this one." Lala complained as she showed the capsule to Goku. He looked at it for a moment before a look of sudden terror spread across his face.
"Lala throw it out the window!" Goku told the girl getting a nod as she did what she was told. A second later there was a poof and the ground shook as something hit it, hard.
The two aliens looked out the window to see a large spherical machine, with the words 'Capsule Corps' written on its side. The machine had landed in the middle of the street with, surprisingly, Rito and Mikan already stood before it already.
The saiyan and devilukian walked out of the house and meet up with the two humans who stared in awe at the machine.
"Goku-kun what is it!?" Lala asked with stars in her eyes.
"It's a gravity chamber. This was a gift from my friend Bulma." Goku told her getting the human's attention.
"Goku-san where were you keeping this?" Rito asked, not seeing how the machine was in their house for 2 years without being seen.
"I kept it in my closet." That answer shouldn't have been possible to say with a straight face, but Goku had managed.
"What is it used for?" Mikan asked while sending a curious look to Lala's new attire.
"It's used for my gravity training. It can go up to 100 times Earth's gravity." Goku told them, surprisingly none of them were shocked. Lala was only staring at the machine curiously, while Rito and Mikan just looked at it. They just weren't shocked by anything involving Goku's feats anymore.
"Goku-kun can I have it?" Goku looked to see a Lala giving him puppy dog eyes. Goku couldn't find the will in him to refuse, but he was still curious as to why she wanted it.
"Sure you can, but why do you need it Lala?" Goku smiled at the girl.
"I want to disassemble it and see how it works. I could even make improvements to it." Lala told him with an excited smile on her face. Goku nodded and walked over to the chamber and pushed a button on the side, instantly putting it back into it's capsule. He then handed it to Lala who took it and ran back inside.
Goku then turned and spoke to the siblings. "I'll see you guys later."
"Wait! Where do you think your going!?" Mikan yelled at the saiyan who was already in the air, preparing to fly off.
"I was going to get some training done." With that he waved to the two and flew of into the distance.
"Damn it Goku-kun! What if Zastin comes back looking for you!?" Mikan yelled before her shoulders dropped in defeat. "Ugh... I give up."
Rito watched Mikan walk back into the house before looking back to the direction that Goku had flown off in. He was pretty sure about his decision now.
Next Day
The Yuuki family was sat around the table the next morning, all of them eating their share of breakfast. Some had more than others. None of them talked, mainly for the reasons of having their mouths stuffed; Goku and Lala. Rito was just pushing his food around on his plate and staring away from the table, Mikan was the only normal person. She actually ate her food in oppose to inhaling it or playing with it.
They continued to eat in silence as they waited for Zastin to come and pick up Goku. He had returned sometime last night while Goku had been training. His message was that Gid wanted to speak to Goku the next day, and he specifically made it clear that hewanted to talk to only Goku. That surprised Lala who had wanted to be present when Goku talked to Gid.
Goku just started cheering at the thought of talking to the strongest in the universe. Mikan had to hit him over the head with a pan to get him to calm down, while also telling Goku to show respect when he meet the Emperor.
That's what brought the quiet and anxious atmosphere around the table. That and Rito's weird mood. He had yet to say a word all morning and only kept playing with his food as he stared away from the table. Goku started to think something was wrong with his friend.
"Hey Rito are you feeling alright? You haven't eaten any of your food." Goku pointed to the plate as Rito jolted in his chair when Goku called his name. The boy looked at the saiyan for a moment before he returned his attention to his food.
"Yeah, everything is fine Goku-san." Rito sounded like he had practiced saying that before.
"Hmm… Oh I know! Is this about missing your chance to confess with Haruna?" His monkey tail started to wave behind him energetically. "You know if that's the case then we can just come up with another plan, or…"
"Goku-san... what does it mean to be a martial artist?" That question came out of nowhere. Mikan and Lala started to pay attention to the duo's conversation now that Rito was asking something uncharacteristic for him.
"What's it mean to be a martial artist hmm?" Goku leaned back with his arms behind his head. What did it mean? He knew that this answer could vary from person to person. Goku thought for a couple more seconds before leveling his gaze at Rito.
"I can't answer that question Rito…" Rito nodded before looking back at his food while Mikan and Lala continued to observe the saiyan. "Rito there are many forms of martial arts in the universe, and for each one there is a different reason for it to exist. And for every martial art, there is a martial artist with their own answer to that question."
Rito looked back up to Goku who actually sounded his mental age. Even though Goku hadn't been able to give him his answer, he somehow felt that this was an even better response.
"Rito the only way you can answer that question is if you answer it yourself." Rito stayed quit for what felt like minutes to the girls. Goku smiled already knowing what Rito wanted to ask him. He had his suspicions since the day before, but now he was sure. All that was left was to allow Rito to take the initiative.
"Goku-san do you think…" Rito trailed off before he steeled his resolve and looked Goku straight in the eyes. "Goku-san please teach me how to fight! Please allow me this opportunity to answer that question myself!"
"Hehehe… Rito are you sure? My training is going to be rougher than you can imagine." Goku smiled at the boy while he tested his will. He wasn't lying either. His training would be difficult for the boy but he wanted to see if Rito would not back down.
"Of course! I am prepared for anything you have for me!" Rito exclaimed with conviction.
"Well alright then." Goku answered simply while Rito stood from his seat and bowed before the saiyan.
"Thank you Goku-sensei!" Goku chuckled at the boy while Mikan sighed to herself at having to deal with the boy on a daily basis.
The next moment there was a knock on the door before Zastin and his two attendants walked into the house. His attendants made their way to the living room while Zastin approached Goku at the table.
"Goku-dono, it's time." Zastin said before walking back towards the door.
"Really? Already?" Goku asked while making his way to follow Zastin out of the house. Goku stopped at the door while looking back to Lala. "Hey Lala if it isn't to much to ask but can you make another gi, just like the one you're wearing but for Rito."
"Okay Goku-kun!" Lala quickly grabbed Rito by the wrist and pulled the boy up the stairs, much too the boys surprise.
"You ready Goku-dono?"
"Of course, let's do this!"
With that the two were transported away by a blue flash of light. The next moment Goku was standing in a dimly lit room with panels lining the one part of the wall while the other was a window. Goku walked up to the window and looked at the Earth.
It geology is different to his Earth where there was more land. This Earth was mostly water, And all the land was mostly covered in man made buildings, roads, and etc.
"Goku-dono we should not keep Gid-sama waiting." Goku turned back to see Zastin walking down the hallway.
The saiyan jogged up to the knight before walking at the same pace as the man. They walked a bit farther in silence before they came into a large cylinder like room with computers lining the walls. The ceiling was a glass dome that allowed the occupants of the room to gaze upon the stars.
Goku watched as Zastin walked over to a computer and typed something into it. After the man finished, he walked back towards Goku with what could only be called the look of a beggar.
"Goku-dono please if there were to be anything I had to ask it would be this…" Zastin said while grabbing the boy's shoulders. "Please be polite and respectful to Gid-sama. You do not want to be like the last person who spoke impolitely to the king."
"What happened to the last guy?" He had to ask out of curiosity.
"Gid-sama vaporized him and his planet."
"He sounds like Lord Beerus."
"Goku-dono. Do. Not. Mess. This. Up."
With that said Zastin left the room,the door closing behind him. Goku walked to the center of the room when a holographic screen appeared. On the screen there was a figure that was covered in shadow, the only things Goku could tell about his appearance was; spiky hair and a tail that ended in a trident.
"It is great to finally be able to meet the man my daughter has fallen head over heels for; Son Goku." The man's voice was deep but it didn't deter Goku from razing his hand up in greetings.
"Hey Lord Gid!" Goku greeted casually, despite Mikan and Zastin's 'advice' to him about being respectful. "So what did you think of my performance?"
Gid examined the 'boy' in front of him for a moment as he took in his personality and characteristics. The boy was relaxed even when talking to him, the strongest in the universe, as if the universe could throw anything at him and he would fix it. His outfit consisted of an orange gi and blue under shirt with a blue cloth wrapped around his waist; tail hanging behind him.
"You really exceeded my expectations Goku, but I must ask why you surrendered to Zastin?" Gid asked, finding that part of the battle confusing.
"Oh well I wanted to make sure that the Earth wouldn't be harmed from something like a friendly spar." Goku told the man while he thought about the saiyan's reason.
"I take it you did it reluctantly."
"Hehe… well… kind of." The boy rubbed the back of his head when he answered the king.
"So do you intend to fight Zastin again?"
"Yeah but I need to find a planet that is unpopulated so as to not risk harming any life." Goku place a hand on his chin and tilted his head in thought while the devilukian just watched him.
"There is no need. In two months time I will have a planet ready for your and Zastin's rematch." Gid told him getting the saiyan to stare in surprise at the screen.
"Really?! You'd do that?!" Goku asked thunderstruck.
Goku's reaction got a torrent of laughter from the alien king who continued to laugh while Goku watched the figure on the screen. Gid was able to calm himself after a few seconds of his outburst.
"Of course I would. I mean... who wouldn't want to watch a fight between a devilukian and the one and only Saiyan of Earth." The king grinned showing the saiyan a set of sharp, shark like teeth.
"Wait… there's more to this than just Zastin and me having a rematch, isn't there?" Gid couldn't help but chuckle at the saiyan's suspicions.
"Very observant Goku." Gid applauded the saiyan who watched the man closely. "As of yesterday your presence in the universe was made public."
"Is that it? I thought it would be something more serious." Goku sighed as it was just something like people knowing his existence.
"This would also make you and the Earth a target." Goku looked at the king, his previous attitude gone as he heard that Earth would be a target.
"Why would anyone target me and the Earth?"
"Because you are the one who has claimed Lala." Goku listened closely for any information that would be useful. "That would mean Lala's other suitors will be out for your head."
"Let them come, it would be nice to have some challenges after a period of peace." Goku cracked his neck to accentuate his desire for a fight. "Anyways back to the rematch."
"The purpose of the rematch would be to scare off the weaker of Lala's suitors." Gid told the saiyan. "It will be relayed throughout the universe to every planet that is under my control."
"So every planet?"
"...Okay not every planet. Technologically behind planets such as Earth, won't be able to witness the fight." The man explained to Goku.
"But this will be able to filter out the small fries?" Goku asked, getting a nod from Gid.
"The weaker will be discouraged from trying to take Lala, but they might still attempt it when you are not around." Goku crossed his arms while nodding at this fact. But he was confident that Lala can look after herself when he is away.
"So umm… Lord Gid… sir." Goku sounded nervous about whatever he was going to ask, which confused the ruler of the universe. "When… uh… when can we... fight?"
"... Is that what has you so nervous. Why?" Gid asked. If Goku's answer was that he was afraid, then he would lose some respect for the saiyan.
"Well... I didn't want to offend you in any way Lord Gid." Goku chuckled to himself while prodding his fingers together.
"Hahaha… Goku don't think taking my throne would be as easy as marrying my daughter and fighting me." Gid laughed at the boy, confusing him. "I'm sure you're already aware the 5 strongest in the universe."
"Ya Zastin mentioned it. He said he was the 5th and you are obviously the 1st." The saiyan told the king.
"Zastin left out the important stuff it seems." Goku gave Gid a look of curiosity. "Us 5 are the titled strongest in the universe. That means there might be those more powerful than 5-2 out there, obviously there is no one stronger than me in the universe. Anyways the 5 of us are known as the 5 Tenrai Hoshi. Starting from the weakest it goes Midori Hoshi, Ao Hoshi, Kiiroi Hoshi, Murasaki Hoshi, and Akairo Hoshi."
Goku listened intently as Gid explained the Hoshi to him. He took note to the fact that their titles were colors. 'Zastin is the fifth and that would make him the Midori. At least the name matches.'
"Why I am explaining this to you Goku is because of this… 3 of the 5 are Lala's suitors, and the front runners for throne." Goku looked at Gid for a moment before looking at his fingers. Gid for some reason felt like he had to address something that should be already common knowledge. "Zastin and I are the 2 who are not suitors."
"I knew that…" Goku said to the king, causing him to face fault. "I was just thinking about how strong these guys are."
"I can tell you that each Hoshi is at least 3 times as strong as the last."
"At least…" Goku could barely withhold his excitement at the thought of fighting the rest of the Hoshi.
"Now for why I said it wouldn't be easy." Gid said ominously, regaining Goku's attention. "Even if the other suitors will back off, these three won't. So before you can challenge me you'll have to defeat them first."
"Alright this is starting to get interesting!" Goku pumped his fist before a sinister laugh filled his ears.
"Not to deter you, but if the 3 plus Zastin's combine their power… I would still be 100 times more powerful." Gid told the saiyan. The reaction wasn't what he had expected though. Goku looked directly at Gid with his eyes narrowed and a smirk across his face.
"Not to deter you Lord Gid...but since coming to this universe, I've only used .5% of my full power." To say Gid was intrigued was an understatement. He was starting to have high hopes for Goku. "And one more thing before I go… before coming here I achieved a new level of strength. I'll be saving it for you."
Gid's smile spread from ear to ear as his shark teeth were shown to the saiyan. "If you're leaving on a high note then maybe I should as well… if you fail to protect my daughter, or if any candidate succeeds in taking her..."
Goku and Gid stared each other down with unwavering confidence in themselves, neither one wanting to lose in this simple game of staring the other down; Saiyan vs Devilukian. Looking away would mean a loss, it would mean that one of them gave into the other's will.
Goku knew that he would protect Lala, and so did Gid, but this was something that needed to be said. Gid knew he had to place an incentive to make sure Goku would succeed, and the saiyan knew that the Emperor of the Universe had to live up to his title. Goku walked into this meeting already knowing that man would say it, but it still made him anxious to hear it.
"... I'll destroy that pitiful world you call home."
And that is a wrap. Some important information was given out in this chapter. Be prepared for Goku and Zastin's upcoming, planet shattering battle. The suitors first move. And Rito's training. Now why did I make it so Rito trains under Goku? Because this is what I have planned. Everything will be answered in future chapters. Until the next chapter then.
