Y'know, the place is kinda nice, I have to admit as I walked along the bridge leading to a large mansion-like buildings. The sky above is in the shade of burnt orange, almost gold, just like the clouds hovering beneath the bridge.

Maybe I should look into a set up like this in my world? I mean, I gotta be honest, bright blue just is so not my thing. If I'm going blue, I prefer a dark blue, like the colour of the flag of one of my past lives' home country.

It's why Super Saiyan Blue, is obviously trash compared to Super Saiyan four. One has crimson fur with a burnt orange gold energy, the other is a bright, blinding cyan blue….everywhere.

Just thinking of looking out of that kind of aura all around me makes me shudder, it'd like give me a constant headache. Granted, blue looks good on some things, like my sexy sexy awesome girlfriend. Just, not a super saiyan transformation bro.

As I made my way down the bridge, I passed by hundreds of soul wisps of the dearly departed, and many of a blue skinned ogre. Funnily, not a single one stopped me to ask me about something.

Maybe because I have my body they just think I'm free to come and go as I please? Well, whatever, not my problem.

A few minutes of strolling was all it took for me to reach my destination and I made my way into King Yemma's office, the check out station.

My eyes immediately went to the man in charge of judging the dearly departed, god he huge. Titanic even, he had to be a good three hundred feet tall or more.

You'd think he'd be stronger though, y'know with his occupation. But the scouter is telling me, the exact measurement of his battle power is only two thousand, six hundred.

Granted, even a battle power over a thousand is apparently in the top five percentile of Universe Seven, so maybe it's not that bad actually?

….Or maybe Universe Seven is really just that pathetic nowadays. Well whatever, I'll fix that soon.

As King Yemma finished up with one soul and sent them on their way, I skipped the rest of the line and stepped up in front.

"Goku?" Yemma blinked, giving me a confused glance, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you still be with King Kai right now? Don't tell me you fell down to the standard Hell again?"

"I'm not Goku," I replied, "My name's Kakarot, I'm his clone created by Kami."

"Kami?" Yemma's nose drew up in distaste, "That fool, always doing such stupid things." he grumbled, and began flicking through a massive book beside him.

"Ah, here we are, Kakarot, strictly speaking, you're less than a year old huh?" Yemma mused apparently reading my information off of the book, "You're karma rating is quite good, better than good you're way in the green, heck you already have hero status and will be able to keep your body if you die, good on you boy."

Huh, how did that happen? Like, I've not actually done that much good have I? I mean I murdered Tao and perved on Bulma like straight away, what exactly qualified me for hero status?

"Well, thanks I-

"Oh, what's this?" Yemma's eyes suddenly widened, "You're not under my jurisdiction? Seems you have a connection to a higher power? Seems one of the higher ups have claim for you and the Supreme Kai at that!"

…Wait, what?! I've not even fucking met Shin or done anything that could have clued him in to me considering how ignorant he is. Unless he sensed me when I transformed that first time back on Namek and he sensed me then?

Strictly speaking, back then I should have been stronger than the main timeline Gohan against Cell as a Super Saiyan 2, which was what originally clued Shin in if I remember right.

…Or maybe it's Chronoa? After all, she did tell me all I needed to do was call for her and she would hear me and come.
Well, questions for later I suppose.

"Well, no need for me to worry over you I suppose," Yemma mused, closing the book over and looking back down at me, "So what can I help you with Kakarot? Make it snappy will you? I'm a busy busy man and that punk Frieza just got his jollies blowing up another planet, low population or not, I need to be fast if I want a break at all today."

You know, I really don't envy his job. Ganbare Yemma-chan!

Well, I'll try not to take up much of his time.

"Right, I'll be quick," I promised, "I recently came into a planet of my own, it's connected to my energy and growing from it in a dimension connected to me, I want to become the guardian of it."

"Is that so?" Yemma didn't even act surprised, "Well, I can do that much for you, I just need to get a look at it for a bit."
Well, that was simple enough. I waved my hand and opened up a large portal as high up as he was tall while sitting down, displaying the landscape of my personal dimension. I opened it at random really, so what was displayed was a wide open grass land with many a creature running around.

My eyes landed on one humongous t-rex casually walking across the grass lands and curiosity getting the better of me since I haven't checked on them in a while, I tapped my scouter and checked it out.

11,912.

Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. See, I had a little experiment going on. More or less, I drained a ton of fruit from the tree of might into a bunch of lakes, rivers and the ocean itself that had formed.

I wanted to see if I could let species of a planet growing stronger passively, just by messing with their food and drink supply.

Maybe it'll be worth putting into action soon.

The thing about the mortal level, it was pretty much three fold. Zeno's monitoring of them was on three categories. The overall strength of the universe, the living conditions and the population.

Right now, I could only really deal with the overall strength, but living conditions should improve for a race when their longevity and sheer strength were increased massively, right?

I mean, this T-rex alone, assuming nothing kills it, will probably live a few hundred years.

"Hoh," King Yemma hummed, and I noticed, his eyes had taken on a golden gleam as he peered into the portal, "Not bad, not bad at all. The wild life alone are quite impressive, and while the sentient population is low, the technology of this world is leaps and bounds ahead of most planets."

Was that the same technique I got from Kami, for watching over entire worlds? I hadn't really tried it out much, maybe I should. It looked pretty handy.

I wonder…could I find Buu's prison with that?

"Well, if you want to take up the occupation, I see no reason why you cannot," Yemma shrugged, and reached into his drawer, when he pulled his hand back out, he held a tiny, tiny little fragment of light between two his thumb and pointer finger, if it weren't for how absurd I am, I wouldn't even be able to see it, "Here, by my authority, I grant you the honour of being the overseer and god of this planet." and then he tossed the little ball of light at me.

It flew down and struck me in the chest, before phasing right into me. I shuddered as I felt it aligning with my ki and seeping deep into it, a tiny little spark that I probably wouldn't have noticed at all, if not for my experience when I first came across the spark of super saiyan ki within me months ago thanks to the Ultra Divine Water.

Hmm, perhaps it gave me more insight into sensing things within myself? After all, back in the day, it was what allowed Goku to learn how to sense ki freely.

So this is god-ki huh? It's so tiny an amount I can't do anything with it right now, but, I'll fix that soon.

Actually, now that I'm taking the time to look within myself. There is another spark that I had not noticed before, a fizzling bolt of green lightning-like ki that I've never seen before.

…It reminds me of Broly. Perhaps, because I turned him into a fruit and ate him? Is this the ki of the legendary super saiyan?

I'll need to look into that later.

…And I'll need to hold off on transforming for a little while until I make sure it hasn't like made me into an utter rage machine in my super saiyan states.

God- me fucking damnit! It's like something always pops up to give me more fucking work to do.

"Right, so you're the god of that world now, I'm sure knowing Kami you know what's expected of you," Yemma mused, interrupting my thoughts, "Now is there anything else Kakarot, or can I get on with my busy busy annoying workload?"

"Thanks, and sorry but there is one little thing," I ran a hand through my spiky black hair, "Can you tell me what my family are up to right now? Where they are in Otherworld, the Saiyans Raditz, Gine and Bardock."

"Hmm, that's right, those three are your family are they not? Annoyances, the lot of them," Yemma huffed, "Gine is in heaven, she had enough karma to avoid hell upon the destruction of Planet Vegeta. The Saiyan Bardock ended up thrown through a temporal rift and died over a thousand years ago, but through continuous effort, good deeds and penance he manged to earn the right to join his wife in heaven, even giving up the chance to keep his body and train in the heroes paradise."

….Well, that's good I suppose. At the very least, they're happy. And I guess, father ended up back in time and fought Chilled in this universe. Good for him, he became a super saiyan. But, I'm mostly relieved mother never went to hell, she was far too kind and soft to to go there.

I can't really meet them now, but I suppose knowing their enjoying their afterlife together is relieving and good enough for me.

"And Raditz?" I asked, though I've got a good idea. He's probably being bullied down in hell.

Yemma winced, "…That I can't give you an answer for," he replied, "You see, the saiyan Raditz, because of the incompetency of my staff, actually managed to escape hell and we've currently lost track of him, he's kept a rather low profile since then."

Wait, what!? Raditz, my brother Raditz, who had all the strength of a newborn Saibaman, escaped hell!? When even fucking Frieza, Cell and shit couldn't!?

Man, I guess he really is my brother huh? Only badasses related to me could do shit like that.

Wait, actually, now that I think about. Didn't Raditz escape hell in one of the games as well? One of the budokai ones I'm sure.

And…he ended up shacking with that ginger snake chick that tried to seduce Goku. I can't remember how he escaped though.

Heh, guess those in charge didn't keep their eye on the 'birdie'.

"Thanks Yemma, I'll see you later." I bowed my head in gratitude to the massive ogre and made my way out.
Yemma merely grunted and tossed me a short wave, before diving right back into his workload.

Once I got outside the check out station I stepped to the side of the path and pressed two fingers against my forehead and spread my senses out.

If Yemma can't find Raditz, I probably won't be able to. But I know an idiot who can point me in the right direction thankfully.

And all I had to do was look for a power akin to my own.

And look, there it is, pitifully weak in comparison to mine, though, surprisingly, stronger than Piccolo and Gohan's were before I juiced them up on fruit.

The fuck!?

An instant later, I slipped through dimensions and appeared on a tiny little green planet right next to the power.

"Woah!?" a familiar voice yelped in shock and I turned around to see someone who looked like a taller, lamer, less built version of me in orange, flat on his ass and gaping at me, "You look just like me!" Son Goku gaped.

My hand twitched with the desire to erase him from existence.

I did not, and instead merely measured his power level.

21,250.

….How the fuck? He should only be approaching eight thousand at this point. How did he get so much stronger than the original timeline when he's been too far away for my actions to effect!?

"Hello Goku." I sighed, reigning in the desire to punch his face in.

"Hello…you?" he greeted me back confusedly as he pushed himself up, "Sorry, have we met before?"

"You could say that," I shrugged, then smirked, "Think back to your training with Mr. Popo, I used to beat you up for fun."

Goku blinked, confused before his eyes widened, "Wait, that doll thing?!" he gaped.

"One and the same," I nodded, "I was brought to life by Kami with the dragon balls to save everyone and be the big damn hero if you weren't up to the task."

"Huh, my clone, I think I saw a movie like that once with Bulma," he tapped his cheek, before shrugging, "Nice to meet you again, I guess? I mean, you didn't talk at all back then."

"I wasn't alive then." I shrugged.

"Guess so!" Goku laughed, "So what brings you here….me?"

"Call me Kakarot, I remember actually being a saiyan after all," I replied, "As for why I'm here, well, to sum it up, I'm here to increase your strength for you with these." I swiped my hand through the air, opening a portal to my world and letting twenty more fruit of might fall out in a pile.

Goku eyed the fruit for a moment before waving his hand through the air at me, "That's awful nice of you err Kakarot, but I'll pass," he refused my kind offer, "I, kinda already went through that with King Yemma's fruit, and while that was cool, I'd rather not to do it again, y'know? Where's the challenge and excitement of getting that power myself instead of just having it given to me? It's boring!"

You know, I somewhat expected that.

"It's not up for debate, you're eating these fruit and getting stronger, even if I have to beat your ass like my red headed step child and force feed you them through a tube." I sneered.

At the very least, I now know how he's stronger than his main counterpart. He doubled his power with Yemma's fruit and had way more stamina after that, and so he reached King Kai much earlier.

"Zat so? And you think you can do that?" Goku's eyes narrowed and he slid into the turtle stance, preparing for a fight, "From what I can sense, you're not even half as strong as me."

"Because I'm hiding my energy obviously," I snorted, "You aren't even worth one percent of my power, clown."

"You think so? Now you've got me curious!" his voice alight with eagerness, Goku shot towards me.

"Kaioken x 2!" he shouted, powering up straight away, a crimson red aura exploding out of his body. He must actually be taking my words seriously from the get go.

His power quickly doubled in scope, rising to; 42,500

Impressive really for him, considering he hasn't been effected by my shenanigans at all. He would be well capable of crushing Vegeta and Nappa without issue.

With a shout, he closed the distance between us and punched me square in the face with all his might. I barely even felt it, and the force couldn't even turn my face.

His eyes widened, "X3!" he shouted, his power increasing exponentially once more and he began to lay a barrage of punches into my face and chest.

63,750.

He was really much more used to the Kaioken in this timeline than the main one, huh? Guess some extra time with King Kai went a long way.

Honestly though, it felt like a child poking me gently.

"Bored now." I deadpanned and let my power rise to its maximum in my base state, no longer hiding it.

Goku outright stopped attacking me in shock at the power he felt coming from me.

And then I raised my finger up and I flicked him on the chest.

King Kai's planet shook like a meteor had just collided with it, a thunderous boom echoing across the area.

It only lasted for but a moment, but when it was over, Goku lay before me in a massive crater, his neck bent to the side and broken, his chest caved in and all of his limbs bent in odd directions.

Y'know something? That felt good.

Cathartic even.

Though, I should probably do something about this before he actually dies again and gets erased out of existence.

Sigh.

"The heck is going on out here!?" the door to King Kai's house burst open and the squat little blue god came rushing out, only to stop and gape as he saw me.

"Who the heck are you!?" King Kai gaped, "And what's with that ridiculous power!?"

I ignored him and walked over to Goku. I didn't have any sensu beans on me, but thankfully, King Cold was ever so generous to 'donate' his skill with healing to me.

"Goku!?" King Kai cried, rushing over to the downed original, "What happened to you kid!?" he fretted worriedly over him.

Rolling my eyes, I extended my hand and let ki seep out from out in a wave, washing over Goku's form and healing his injuries.

It wasn't a sensu bean, but it got the job done and before our eyes, Goku began to heal, though King Kai could have probably done without the snapping sounds as his limbs were yanked back into place by my ki.

"Guy, who are you? Why do you look like Goku and why the heck are you so strong? why did you come up here and just beat the crap out of him like this and are now healing him?" King Kai rapid fire rattled off questions at me that I honestly couldn't be bothered answering right now.

I was more focused on Goku's power as he healed and zenkai'd before my eyes and senses. It exploded upwards massively and completely dwarfed his previous power more than twenty times over.

My scouter was very handy for getting an exact reading as well;

1,168,750.

"…This is, that saiyan ability!? But, I've never seen it cause this much growth before!" King Kai spluttered.

Whatever, I have to keep good on my promise now, don't I?

I lifted my hand and grasped all thirty fruit from the tree of might I'd dropped on the ground and they floated up into the air due to my telekinesis.

And then I smoothed them all together into a massive pulpy liquid.

I twitched my finger, and the unconscious Goku's mouth was forced open, and King Kai yelped as I force fed the pulpy fruit of power down his throat through a straw of telekinetic power.

…That counted right?

His power spiked and rose again as he digested the pulped fruit and I decided, yes indeed it counted.

I could have magically conjured a straw of course, but I'm too lazy for that nonsense.

1,768,750.

Honestly, he should be thanking me for this kind of growth, he's just grown near a hundred times stronger in less than five minutes. What good is pride in the face of that, the idiot?

"I don't even know what's going on anymore," King Kai sighed, collapsing on his backside as he witnessed his student grow even stronger, "And you haven't answered a single question kid."

"I'm a busy man King Kai," I shrugged, "I'll just let him explain it to you." I added on.

With that said, I walked over and crouched down over the unconscious original. I found myself less angry at him now that I'd got to crush him like a bug. I'd love to do it again mind you.

Well, whatever.

I pressed two fingers to his head and slipped into his mind and pursued through his memories, just as Kami had taught him, and I'd learned from my wish in the other timeline.

It was quite easy to find where Princess Snake's palace was, and while I was at it, I dumped the basic gist of what I was up to into his mind, the same as I told the others back at Kami's Lookout.

"Later King Kai." I bid the North Kai goodbye and jumped into the air and flew away before he could say anything else.

Strictly speaking, it didn't take me long at all to find Princess Snake's castle. I mean, it was literally right along the path of Snake Way.

A few minutes of flying at max speed and I found it easily, just sitting there floating right beside the pathway leading between King Kai's planet and the check out station.

Dropping out of the air, I landed in front of the massive castles front doors and knocked, hard.

Sure, it may have sounded like a couple of cannons going off, but hey, gotta make sure they hear me in such a big ass place.

Less than a minute later, the doors swung open and standing behind them was a pretty blue skinned brunette, "Hello, how can I help you?" she greeted me calmly.

"I'm here to see Princess Snake." I replied simply.

She grimaced lightly, it was only there for an instant, but I caught it, "…I'm sorry but Princess Snake isn't taking any visitors right now, I can try and make you an appointment if you'd like?" she replied, "She is very…busy you see."

Hmm, you know something odd? I can't sense this chicks power, at all. Interesting.

If I can't sense her power while she's right in front of me, well, wouldn't it make sense for someone who escaped hell and can't be sensed, to be here where this kind of thing goes down?

"Good for her," I shrugged and walked inside ignoring her as he tried to block me, "Oh?" my eyebrows rose as I continued my way inside, ignoring the brunette now trying and failing to push me back and getting carried along by my chest.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I could suddenly sense this girl. And four others who felt just like her.

And another ki, stronger than all the other ones, yet vastly weaker than my own that stood out from them all.

Skipping out of hell for some ginger booty huh? Well, I can't blame him. Though, if I was going after a ginger, I'd just let out Bojack and his crew and kill them except for Zangya.

I followed my way towards the power I sensed, through the wide sweeping corridors of the castle, ignoring the brunette trying to stop me all along the way.

And surprise, surprise. I found myself in a massive dining hall, my eyes landing on two figures, both sitting together at the edge of a long, long ass table.

A curvy blue skinned ginger lady leaning on the table, sighing lovingly at the large, muscular extremely long haired man stuffing his face at a rapid pace.

"Hello, brother." I greeted with a smirk, squashing the happiness I felt surging up.

They both jumped at my sudden voice, Raditz almost choking on the food.

"Goku!?" Princess Snake gaped at me.

"K-Kakarot!?" Raditz spluttered, mouth hanging low.

"Ding, ding, ding, correct on the second try," I replied making my way over, "How you doing brother?"

"I'm sorry my lady, he refused to stop and barged his way in and I could not stop him!" the brunette bowed deeply and apologised.

Princess Snake waved her off, while Raditz growled at me, "So did they send you looking for me then Kakarot?" he sneered, lifting his hand, crimson red ki forming into into a sphere, "I won't be going back to hell little brother, and I'm far stronger than when we last met!"

"Zat so?" I raised a brow. Honestly, he was so weak I couldn't tell the difference. I used my scouter and scanned his power;

2,417.

Huh, he had gotten stronger. Odd though, I thought those bound for hell couldn't get stronger in the after life? Or was it because he escaped out of hell he got rid of that problem?

"Not bad," I praised him lightly, not great mind you, but the fact he got stronger at all is good I guess, "Though, do calm down Raditz, I'm not the same brother you faced before, can't you tell?"

Raditz grimaced, looking me over, but not lowering his glowing ki engulfed hand, "…You do look different, you're shorter, but much bulkier and your skin is much less pale, you look quite like father now actually." he nodded grudgingly.

"I'm the true Kakarot, one who remembers our roots as a saiyan, just in a different body from that other fool, Goku." I helpfully supplied.

Raditz' face scrunched up in confusion, "…What nonsense are you blabbering about?" he grunted, before shaking his head, "Whatever, I don't care. State your business little brother, why have you come looking for me if not to drag me back to hell?"

"I came to check up on my older brother, nothing more, nothing less," I replied, not really the warm, touchy feeling atmosphere I might have liked, but this is expected, "I found out where mother and father are by the way, they're both in heaven if you can believe it."

Raditz snorted, "Mother in heaven, I can believe, but that hard ass father? He has killed even more than me, there's no way."

"Believe it if you will or not," I shrugged, "I was just coming to make sure you were doing okay and if you were in hell, I was going to wish you back to life with the dragon balls."

Raditz gave me an odd look, "….Is that so?" he murmured lightly, before sighing and suddenly slumping into his seat, "I thank you for the offer then brother, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline."

"Really?" My eyes rose in surprise.

"Go back to what? A world without our race? Our parents dead? The only others of our race that buffoon Nappa and asshole Vegeta?" he shook his head, "No, I'm happier here now, happier than I've been in a long term." he flashed a quick smile at Princess Snake, and she gently grasped his hand as they stared into each others eyes.

…Well okay then. Now I totally feel like a third wheel.

"Fair enough brother," I chuckled lightly, "But, let me leave you with a gift at least."

"There's no need Kakarot, I have all I need here." Raditz waved me off.

"It'll make me feel better at least." I replied, and before he could say anything, I opened up a portal and dropped a deluge of fruit of might on the table, thirty of them in total, "Eating just one of these fruit will raise your battle power by twenty thousand, more than Vegeta has, there's thirty in total, you can do what you want with them."

Raditz gaped at the fruits for a moment, before shaking his head and calming down, "…I would have called bullshit on such a thing just mere months ago," he sighed, "Perhaps I'll pay a visit to hell one day a year or two from now? If you so casually can drop thirty of these out for me, I can only imagine the strength you have now."

"Frieza has a battle power of one hundred and twenty million and it's trash compared to me." I helpfully supplied.

That did it, Raditz burst out into laughter and separated from his love, making his way over to me, laughing all the way, "Then I can rest easy then, knowing that the legacy of we saiyans is safe in your hands brother." he stopped laughing as he reached me and held his hand out for me to take.

I did and we clasped hands, tightening our grips, "I suppose this is goodbye for good then brother." I mused.

"Possibly, but our paths split long ago little brother, you have your own story to go through, I've done a lot of thinking the past few months, and this meeting has put everything into perspective," Raditz smiled at me, a true genuine smile that he seemed to have only reserved for Princess Snake, "We saiyans have failed, but not you Kakarot, not even the sky is the limit for you it seems, I'll be keeping an ear out to hear of the legends told of you in the future, the legendary super saiyan."

My brows furrowed, "…How did you know I'm a super saiyan?" I asked, confused.

"I just had a feeling," Raditz chuckled, "Seeing you, the spitting image of father, sauntering around the afterlife as if you own it, so casually saying that monster Frieza is trash before you and not merely bluffing like Vegeta. Truly, if anyone could become the legendary super saiyan, it would be a son of Bardock and my brother!"

The beaming pride he shot at me actually hurt me a little.

Raditz nodded at me once more, let go of my hand and clapped me on the shoulder. And nothing else needed to be said.

I nodded back in understanding, and turned around and walked away, "Sorry for the bother." I apologised to the brunette and left the castle behind.

The castle doors slammed shut behind me as I left and I stopped to stare up at the golden sky of otherworld, "…How ironic that Raditz is the content one." I sighed wistfully.

He had basically what I wanted, but couldn't let myself enjoy right now. But soon days, that I vowed.

But to do that, I need to get around my own hang ups. And the first step on that journey, is fixing my control issues.

And there's only two people in this universe that can help me with that right now. One really, since the other can't access his true power.

I touched two fingers to my forehead and I focused, spreading my senses out across the very expense of Universe 7 itself.

This would have been impossible to do just a few hours ago. I knew how to sense god ki thanks to the knowledge I got from Piccolo and Kami, but I lacked the 'fuel' to trigger that ability.

Now, lacking in amount as it was, I had said 'fuel'.

Raditz: 302,417
Princess Snake: 300,450

Anyway, again, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
