Welcome back to another chapter of Dragon Ball Imitation!! A new threat known as The Imitator has suddenly appeared, and easily defeated Vegeta in battle!! However, now, it seems our hero Son Goku is having his own troubles with this new foe. But what's more, what connection is there between the God of Destruction Beerus and Whis to this new foe? Read on for another chapter of Dragon Ball Imitation!!

Goku stood up, straightening his posture as he looked at The Imitator, determination on his face as the Saiyan said, "Alright! Let's get this started then!!"

The Imitator took in a deep breath as dark blue and black energy swirled around his body like smoke, as The Imitator suddenly went into his fighting stance for the first time during this fight, as he put his right foot behind him, his left foot in front while holding his right hand in front of him, his palm flat as the back of his hand faced Goku, while his left hand was held flat-palmed beneath his right arm as The Imitator suddenly said, "May you die a warrior's death, Son Goku."

Goku's smile was all that he would respond with as the Saiyan suddenly began stretching, and then bobbing on his feet before suddenly hopping into his fighting stance, saying in an excited tone, "Bring it!!"

The Imitator narrowed his eyes onto Goku, as if making sure he had him in his sights, before he lifted off with one foot, charging at Goku in a streak of black and blue energy

Goku, not one to want to be outdone, hopped off the ground and charged back at The Imitator, his cyan blue and intense red aura charging around him as he streaked head on towards his for in a beautiful display of power, leaving behind a streak of red light behind him

With a shout of effort and power, the two combatants met one another in the air as the two suddenly began attacking one another in a blur of furious limbs.

However, Beerus, Whis, Broly hovered in the air above, watching the spectacular display as Whis suddenly looked at Beerus, saying, "Well, my Lord, aren't you going to intervene?"

"Intervene? Why would I do that, Whis?" Beerus asked in a slightly irritated tone, "I mean, I thought about it for a moment, but I decided to go ahead and let Omega knock some sense into Go-"

"Lord Beerus," Broly suddenly interrupted, "He's trying to kill Kakarot."

"Huh?" Beerus said, "Kill Goku? Why would he do that!? He hasn't ever met the guy!!"

Whis cleared his throat as he answered the cat God, "It seems that killing Goku is an assignment given to our old friend. Certainly sounds interesting, does it not?"

Beerus blinked, before giving a sigh, saying in a rather deflated tone, "Yes, it certainly sounds interesting. I'll break it up here, but any time after that, Goku's on his own!"

Back at the battle, Goku and The Imitator were in fierce combat in the air as they're colliding fists and limbs created shockwaves that made the entire forest of Beerus's planet shake violently

Goku, in a attempt to disrupt his opponent, suddenly began to throw a left jab, but feinted at the last moment and instead ducked down low, and attacked with a sweeping kick aimed for The Imitators knees

The strange person suddenly flipped back in the air, avoiding Goku's kick as he rolled in the air before coming to a stop further away, before suddenly several tendrils made of a black, goo-like substance suddenly sprouted from his back as the tentacles suddenly shot forward, extending towards Goku

"Tch, those again!!?" Goku yelped as he suddenly jumped back, avoiding one of the reaching tentacles, kicking away another before he suddenly put two fingers to his forehead, disappearing as three tendrils smashed together in the spot where Goku was before he suddenly disappeared

"Hmm? Where did he-"

"You're open!!" A voice behind him shouted as Goku suddenly had a ball of blue energy formed in between his hands in a dazzling display of blue light as its power sparked in his hands

"Kaaa-meee-haaa-mee-HAAAAAA!!!!!!" Goku screamed of his voice echoed through the skies, being heard several times away as he suddenly fired forth a powerful blast of blue light towards The Imitator with godly power

The Imitator seemed to have been taken surprise as his eyes wide as the strange entity became engulfed in the destructive wake of the Turtle Destruction Wave

The Kamehameha soared through the sky like a powerful beacon of light as it's glowing blue hue could be seen lighting up the sky in a dazzling display before it suddenly exploded in a giant blue sphere of power, sending powerful winds and shockwaves of force shooting out in every direction

Soon, smoke began to billow up, obscuring Goku's view as the Saiyan stood in the air, his eyes trying to look closely and see whether he had eliminated his foe

However, the Saiyan's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as suddenly The Imitator emerged from the smoke, a transparent dome of blue energy that seemed to be vibrating had formed around his body, but several cracks had formed on it as suddenly The Imitator said, "A spectacular display of power, Son Goku. That technique you had just used, it is called a Kamehameha, correct?"

"Hehe, yeah, it is," Goku said as his face was, quite obviously, filled with excitement as the Saiyan smiled, "Man, you really are something, aren't ya, Mr. Imitator?"

"Mr. Imitator? That's a new one," The Imitator replied, as his expressionless face looked at Goku as he asked, "However, if that is your all, then I must end our duel now."

"I was thinking about the same thing," Goku grinned as he went back into his fighting stance as his red and cyan aura suddenly blazed intensely around him, and he said in a elated tone, "Heh, here goes!!"

However, before either combatants could dash forward for the attack, two balls of yellow energy came flying at both of them as the Saiyan and mysterious entity both were caught off guard

The two combatants both held up their arms as the balls of energy hit them both, exploding against them as Beerus suddenly shouted from above, "Goku!! Imitator!!! Do you mind not causing a ruckus!!! I do not want you fighting here on MY planet!!"

"What!!?" Goku whined as he emerged from the smoke that had billowed up around him, "But it was just starting to get good!!"

"Goku!!" Beerus shouted, "Did you not hear the words that have come out of my mouth, huh!!? Are you deaf!!? Maybe I should pull that ear off to make it official!!"

"Whaa!!!? N-n-no!! Alright!!" Goku said as he powered down from his Super Saiyan Blue and Kaioken stacked state, as his cyan hair and red aura both disappeared as Goku said in a deflated voice, "Aw man, it was just starting to get-"

Suddenly, the sound of flesh tearing could be heard as Goku suddenly froze and Beerus's, Whis, and Broly all widened in shock in disbelief

The Imitator held out his arm, but now it stretched out, extending almost several yards and his hand sharpened and shrunk down until it was a long lance.

And one end of his arm was impaled into Goku's stomach

Goku slowly looked down, seeing that arm inside him in disbelief as he looked up, saying, "W-w-why?"

"Even though I think rather highly of you, Son Goku," The Imitator said, "At the end of the day, I still am tasked with killing you."

"N-n-no," Goku said in disbelief, as The Imitator suddenly said, "Goodbye, Son Goku."

Suddenly, with a sickening sound, The Imitators spear-like arm slid out of Goku's stomach, before shrinking back into it's normal form

Goku held his stomach as he looked down, red liquid leaking from his hand and streaming down his pants, blood streaming down Goku's body as it began to drip down to the earth far below

Goku's vision began to blur, and he could feel his heart beginning to beat faster, his legs feeling as if they were becoming sticks.

"C-Chi Chi…" Goku said to himself before he suddenly fell back, and began to plummet to the earth

"Kakarot!!" Broly shouted as the brute rocketed down to Goku, landing on the ground and catching his friend before he could hit the ground, and Beerus and Whis simply stood in disbelief, shocked at what had just happened

However, The Imitator bristled uncomfortably as he repeated what he heard Goku say, "Chi Chi?"

"Kakarot!! Kakarot, say something!!" Broly said as he had set Goku gently on the ground, before Whis and Beerus both suddenly appeared beside Broly, as Whis's staff began to glow, and Goku's wound began to stitch itself up as Beerus said while crouched down beside Goku, "Damn it, Goku, you owe me one."

Broly looked at Beerus and Whis as the giant Saiyan asked, "Is he alright?"

Whis nodded as he said, "Yes, Goku is stable now. However, based on the wound entry, Goku would have died had I not immediately healed him. The Imitator has a deadly aim."

Beerus huffed as he stood up, before turning to The Imitator as he suddenly asked, "What was that for? I thought you were an honorable fighter, not someone to stab an opponent when they're looking away."

"I am simply doing my job," The Imitator replied, "Why does it matter? You aren't one to particularly care about mortals."

Beerus growled as he said, "HE is the reason why our Universe is still standing, among many others. And I won't tolerate any of this drabble on my planet!!"

Suddenly, a low growl behind the cat sounded out as Beerus turned around, seeing that Broly was looking at The Imitator with a very enraged expression as Broly rose to his full height, before he took a step forward as Beerus suddenly held his hand up, stopping Broly as he said, "Broly, don't. He'll cut you down before you can do anything."

"But he hurt Kakarot," Broly said as Beerus looked at The Imitator, asking, "Just exactly what assignment were you given?"

The Imitator stared expressionlessly at Beerus, before he answered, "To wipe out the bloodlines of the Saiyan's Son Goku and Prince Vegeta."

"Hmm," Beerus put one hand to his chin as it looked as if he was in thought as he suddenly asked, "So, your work does not stop here?"

"No, it does not," The Imitator said, "I am to destroy their children as well."

"What!!?" A voice shouted as suddenly a breathless Cheelai and Lemo arrived, as it seemed they had been left behind, "Who is killing whose children!!?"

Broly turned to Cheelai and Lemo, sadness on his face as Lemo looked around, before Whis answered Cheelai's question, "Well, it seems our friend here does not stop with killing Goku and Vegeta. Apparently this job also extends to both of their children."

"What!!?" Cheelai said again as she looked at The Imitator, seeming to be shocked and angry as she suddenly said, "W-what kind of person goes along with this kind of thing?! What did Goku ever do to you!!?"

The Imitator was silent, his expression emotionless, and Cheelai suddenly shouted, "Answer me!!"

The Imitator was expressionless, before he suddenly answered, "I am a tool given an assignment by that who has summoned me. I must do what I am told, no questions asked and no exceptions."

Cheelai stood there, her face turning red as Broly had stood up, seeming to stand beside her and act as a bodyguard as Cheelai suddenly asked, "And what if you were assigned to kill someone you love and care about!!?"

"Then I'd kill them," he answered

Cheelai and Lemo stood there, taken aback by his sudden answer as Broly seemed to be getting even angrier by the minute with The Imitator as the giant said in a low tone, "You….are a bad person."

The Imitator looked at Broly, staring at him for a moment as he suddenly answered the Saiyan, "No. I am not bad nor am I good. I am simply efficient."

Suddenly, The Imitator looked at the group, before setting eyes on Beerus as he said, "I will respect your request, Lord Beerus. But seeing as how your attendent has undone my work, tell the Saiyan's that if they want to survive they're next encounter, they'll have to become stronger."

Suddenly, The Imitator looked upward to the sky as he added, "I shall be waiting for them. On Earth."

Suddenly, The Imitator shot into the sky, almost as if he turned into blue light as he streaked into the sky, disappearing in a instant as the group watched him leave.

Suddenly, Cheelai stepped in front of Beerus as she put her hands on her hips, frowning as she tapped her foot impatiently, saying, "Alright, you'd better start explaining. Who is he? And why does he want to kill Goku and Vegeta and their kids!!?"

Beerus looked down at the green lady, before he sighed as he replied, "I'll explain, but not here. We have more important matters to attend to."

Meanwhile, Whis had laid down Vegeta next to Goku as the two Saiyan's were unconscious, and Beerus looked to Whis as he said, "Whis, it would be best if you go warn the Earthlings about what's coming for them. Omega is fast, but it'll take him almost a few days to get to earth at top speed."

"Of course," Whis said, but then he suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to confront him, Lord Beerus?"

Beerus shook his head as he simply replied, "Earth's affairs aren't mine to fix. Besides, if they play their cards right, they might be able to do something."

Suddenly, a voice said, "We're coming with you."

Lemo and Cheelai alongside Broly walked up to Whis, as Lemo suddenly said, "Goku helped us when we needed it. We aren't going to let some crazy lune go kill his kids."

Broly nodded as Cheelai crossed her arms, looking expectantly at Beerus

Beerus sighed as he gave a dismissive wave of his hand, saying, "Fine, if you want to go and get killed, go on ahead."

Cheelai looked at Whis as the angel smiled, saying, "Well, unexpected guests! Well this'll be fun. Follow me!"

Cheelai and Lemo looked at one another as they had a confused look on their faces, as Broly followed while asking, "Where are we going?"

"Oh, trust me, you'll enjoy this," Whis said as he led the group away

Beerus sighed as the group left. However, twenty minutes later, he realized, "WAIT!! I'M GOING TO BE LEFT ALONE!! WITH TWO SAIYAN'S!!??? WHIS, COME BACK!!"

Piccolo sighed as he suddenly fell down onto his back, the grass bending beneath his back as the Namekian breathed a exhausted breath

"Where the hell is that Saiyan Goku when you need him?" Piccolo said to himself as the green alien looked to his side

Piccolo saw the dirty white color of his weighted hat and cape, before the Namekian looked back up at the sky that was beginning to darken

Piccolo's entire body hurted and was sore all over. Fighting that Cell prototype surely left some marks, and Piccolo made a mental note that maybe he should have thought of asking Shenron to unlock his full potential sooner. Would have meant taking less beatings, something that Piccolo wouldn't have minded at all

"Maybe then I wouldn't have had to fuse with Nail and Kami," Piccolo said to himself when suddenly a voice interrupted his thoughts as the all too familiar voice of Kami rang loud and clear through his head, "Well, today's events have surely been interesting."

"To think that power levels of this kind existed before. I'm starting to become worried whether we'll stay relevantly strong for long," Nails' voice said as Piccolo sighed, before suddenly saying, "Do you two mind keeping it down? I'd rather like to get some sleep tonight."

"Oh, come now, Piccolo, it IS rather borish being left alone trapped in your body with only one other who would want to talk to me. Not that I don't enjoy speaking with Nail, but a new voice or person to speak to is rather a want, if you see what I mean," Kami said, before Piccolo sighed as he replied, "Hey, you both knew what was going to happen once I had fused with you both. So quit complaining."

"It is not like we had any other choice," Nail commented

"Tch, yeah, I know. But still, I'd like to get some sleep. So would you PLEASE quiet down?" Piccolo said a bit harshly as Kami said in a tone that made it feel as if he was frowning, "My, so rude."

"You can say that again," Nail commented as Piccolo suddenly screamed at them both mentally, "CAN YOU SHUT UP!!!?"

Silence followed. Piccolo sighed, relieved, as he laid his head back down. Piccolo closed his eyes, finally feeling himself fall into the sweet arms of sleep.

So imagine his irritation and frustration when he heard a resounding explosion.

Piccolo's eyes snapped open as he jolted up, saying in an irritated tone, "Damn it, what is it now!!!?"

The Namekian stood up, as he picked up his white cape and hat, putting them on as he suddenly noticed that his purple hi was still torn and dirty from his fight with Cell.

With one shot of his Clothes Beam, Piccolo fixed his clothes instantly as the Namekian flew up into the air, shooting through the sky

As the Namekian soared through the sky, his eyes looking forward as his weighted white cape flapped through the air and Piccolo could feel three energies up ahead. Two of them weren't exactly noteworthy, but the third was so great and overwhelming that Piccolo wondered if Goku would even be able to compare to it.

However, when Piccolo came closer to the group of energies, he gave a sigh of relief as he saw Beerus's angel attendant, Whis.

However, three others were with him. A green, small, petite girl and an orange alien about the same height, but the powerful and giant energy was coming from what Piccolo could tell was a giant Saiyan.

The Namekian hovered above the group, not at all hiding his ki energy signature since he knew that if these people were with Whis, they wouldn't be here with any ill intentions

Suddenly, Whis looked up, before putting a hand to his mouth as he gave a chuckle, before suddenly saying, "Ohoho, well, isn't it Mr. Piccolo. I am surprised that we were found so fast!"

Piccolo sighed as his Namekian hearing that far surpassed that of even the best animal on earth suddenly picked up the green girl asking the orange one, "Huh, who is the lizard."

"I don't think he is a lizard," the orange alien replied as Piccolo began to lower himself to the ground, crossing his arms as he said, "Hmph, I'm not a lizard. I'm what you would call a Namekian."

Piccolo looked up at the giant Saiyan, who in return gave Piccolo a curious look as Piccolo sighed, saying, "So, you must be Broly. Goku told me a little bit about you. Hmmm."

"You must be, uhh, Pikon?" Broly asked in a questioning tone as Piccolo frowned, before shaking his head as he corrected Broly, "No, Piccolo."

"Picco?" Broly tried again as Piccolo felt a vein pop out of his head. Dealing with Pan was one thing because children were something else. And even then she wasn't really at a annoyance. But dealing with adults with children mindsets made Piccolo furious. Thank goodness Gohan wasn't as stupid or naive as Goku in some ways

"No, Piccolo," the Namekian corrected him,

Suddenly, Piccolo perked up as he remembered Cell Max as he looked behind Broly at the angelic Whis, asking in an annoyed tone, "Speaking of, where the hell is Goku and Vegeta? We could have used them not so long ago."

At this, Whis's expression grew slightly more serious. Slightly

"Well, they both are currently in critical condition as of late," Whis said

"Critical condition?" Piccolo said, his voice having a tinge of skepticism, "What, did they hit one another on the head too hard?"

"No," Whis said, "Someone tried to kill them both."

"What?" Piccolo said, seeing Whis was looking a little more serious as suddenly the green girl said, "Apparently some guy assigned this other guy to kill Goku and Vegeta."

"And this stranger….he beated Vegeta and Goku?" Piccolo asked as Whis nodded, "They didn't exactly know what they were dealing with, so yes, they were beaten quite easily."

Piccolo felt the words hit him like a lucky, well-placed blow from Pan. It caught him by surprise. If this person, whoever they were, was able to beat Goku and Vegeta, then they must certainly be strong

Piccolo's thought process was interrupted as suddenly the green girl said, "And apparently he is after their families too."

"What!?" Piccolo said. If this person was not only after Goku and Vegeta, but also their families, then that meant- "they're coming here!!?"

"Yes," Whis confirmed, "Hence my arrival. I have come to warn you all so you have ample time to prepare and train for the next oncoming threat, as well as some advice."

Piccolo blinked as he pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to think as suddenly Kami's voice butted in, "Piccolo, just how long will it take for this new threat to come?"

Piccolo looked at Whis as the Namekian asked "...How long until they arrive?"

Whis put two fingers on his chin as the angel replied, "Well, if I remember correctly his top speed, he will be here in about 5 and a half days. By then, you all should be prepared."

"5 and a half days? That should be enough time to get everyone trained up in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber," Nail said as Piccolo told him mentally, "What, you think I don't know that?"

Piccolo nodded as he suddenly turned his back to them, saying, "Then exactly what are we waiting around here for? We need to go now if we want ample time to get prepared."

Whis chuckled as he said, "Why of course. Oh, I also forgot to introduce you to some new guest's."

Piccolo turned his head slightly, looking at Broly and the other two as he suddenly eyed them, saying, "Names Piccolo."

The green girl sighed as she replied, "Cheelai."

"I'm Lemo," the orange one said as Piccolo nodded, before the Namekian said, "Well, sorry we had to meet under these circumstances. But we should get going around now."

"Oh, so serious, aren't ya?" Cheelai commented as Piccolo replied in a tone that might have sounded a little too aggressive, "What? Is there a problem with that?"

"No," Cheelai said as a confused Broly looked at the two, before asking, "Cheelai, what is lizard man talking about?"

"I'M NOT A LIZARD!!" Piccolo shouted at them

Gohan opened the door as he carried the sleeping Pan on his shoulders as the small child was leaned over Gohan's head, snoring peacefully

Gohan sighed as he walked in holding the child, looking around as he suddenly said while looking in the dark, "Uhh, Videl, I'm home! Videl?"

Suddenly, the click of a cord being pulled could be heard as Video sat on a couch, wearing a pink bathrobe around her and a mug in her hand as she looked as if she had been up for awhile

"Eek!!" Gohan yelped as he turned around to see Videl, saying nervously, "Oh, uh, hey honey!"

"Gohan," Videl called out, his voice slightly worried as she stood up, putting her mug aside as she walked over to Gohan, taking the sleeping Pan from his shoulders as she cradled the baby in her arms

She then looked up at Gohan, before saying with a slightly worried glance, "You look as if you've been put through the ringer. Did something happen while I was gone?"

"Uhh, well, yeah," Gohan said while rubbing the back of his head, "Quite a lot happened today. I'm really beat right now though, so can I tell you after I take a shower and get out of these clothes?"

"Of course," Video said as Gohan turned to leave when suddenly Videl stopped him, calling out his name

"Yeah, Videl?" Gohan asked as he turned to her

Videl walked forward till she was right in front of him before she suddenly went up onto her tippy toes, planting a soft and sweet kiss onto his lips as she said, "It's been awhile since we've had time to do that."

Gohan smiled as he suddenly leaned his head forward, kissing her back with the same soft, sweet tenderness that she had used for him as a sugar rush coursed through his body

As Gohan separated himself from the kiss, he looked at her as he smiled lovingly at her, saying, "Heh, yeah, it's been awhile."

Videl smiled sweetly at him as Gohan gave a smile in return, as he turned around to go to take a shower, saying as he left, "I'll be back in a bit."

Videl smiled as she watched Gohan leave, before she walked down one of the halls of their mansion, courtesy of her father, Mr. Satan.

Videl walked into one of the rooms, flicking on the light as Pan's room lit up. Videl quickly dimmed the lights so that way she could see but not bother Pan's sleeping figure

Videl walked to the small bed, setting Pan gently down as Videl began to gently take off her shoes and gloves, before undressing her and putting her in her sleep clothes, as she gently laid her down on her bed, pulling the covers over her body as Videl leaned forward, gently kissing Pan's head

Videl stood back up as she looked at Pan, smiling, as she turned around and silently walked out of the room, turning off the light as she left

Videl walked back into the living room, sitting down on the couch that she was on not only a few minutes ago as she sighed, before picking up the warm mug of coffee and sipping from it

Videl couldn't be mad at Gohan if he was gone for what she thought he was gone for. Perhaps he was going back to his Great Saiyaman days? Or he was even saving lives!

Because if it was anything like that, then Videl didn't mind that he had come back looking like he was a beaten up, dirty homeless man. That is as long as it wasn't a 24/7 thing where she never got to see him at all

Videl sighed as she laid her head back onto the chair back as she could feel exhaustion begin to set in. Videl had stayed up for awhile now, and she didn't exactly enjoy drinking a lot of coffee. Yes, she drank coffee, just not a lot. And she didn't make exceptions for that whenever she stayed up later then usual

Videl looked at her mug, before suddenly holding it up and turning it around in her hand, looking at the white mug as she saw the picture that had been imprinted onto it

A picture of her and Gohan some time before they got married. They were in the green, lush meadow where Gohan had taught her how to fly

Videl was wearing a blue sports tank top and a pair of purple sports shorts, her hair still short from the haircut that she was recommended to be given by Gohan

At that time, Videos hair had lengthened to where it looked somewhat like a bowl cut, making her look more boyish

Gohan stood, holding Videl up in his arms in a bridal way, a smile on both of their faces as Gohan was still wearing his purple gi that looked a lot like the one that Piccolo wore, minus the white cape and hat as his glasses gleamed in the orange rays of the setting sun

Videl's eyes almost watered as she remembered such days, and couldn't help but remember how she was at first disappointed when she thought it was only a mug that Gohan was giving her for one Christmas, only to feel that disappointment turn into joy as she saw the photo

Videl had been so wrapped up in reminiscing about her past days that she didn't notice when she began to slowly feel her eyes droop closed

After several minutes, Gohan came back out with his black hair damp from a shower and dressed in light blue flannel sleepwear, wearing his glasses as he walked out, saying, "Hey, Videl, so, ab-...oh."

Gohan saw her peaceful, sleeping figure on the couch as he couldn't help but smile at the sight before he suddenly walked gently forward, praying that he didn't step on a creaky floorboard as he walked over to Videl, gently sliding his arms underneath her body as he picked her up, laying her head on his shoulder as he turned off the lamp before taking her to their bedroom

Once Gohan entered the bedroom, he laid her down gently onto the bed, slipping her bathrobe off to reveal that she was wearing a black sleepwear crop top that and dark red shorts that Gohan had bought for her

Gohan sighed as he watched her chest rise and fall gently with each breath, before he suddenly leaned forward, kissing Videl's sleeping forehead, before crawling over to his side of the bed, pulling the covers gently over both him and Videl, snuggling into her as he wrapped his arms around her, her warm body pressed up against hers

After a harsh fight like the one Gohan had with the Gammas and Cell, this was definitely something worth coming back to every single day

Gohan began to drift off to sleep as his eyes closed, drooping until he fell into sweet dreams

That is, until he heard a rapping at his door

At first, Gohan barely heard it, barely registering it. But after what seemed to be a forth or fifth time, Gohan finally snapped awake, as he suddenly registered the multiple ki signatures at his door, almost all of them unfamiliar

Gohan however felt Piccolo's ki signature, and it was then that Gohan quickly slipped out of the bed, seeing as how Videl hadn't woken up yet

Gohan walked over to the door, opening it, not really surprised when he saw Piccolo

"Oh, hey, Piccolo!! What are you doing here so late?" Gohan asked as Piccolo sighed, giving a sideways glance as the Namekian replied, "Well, I brought some news you might want to hear. And also some company. May we come in?"

"Yeah, uh, sure," Gohan said as he opened the door, gesturing for Piccolo and whoever was behind him to come in as Gohan added, "Make yourself at home."

Piccolo walked in, when a green-skinned girl walked in behind him, an orange one following behind.

However, Gohan looked around as he suddenly said, "Hey, wait a second, there are three of you. Isn't there a for-"

Suddenly, a voice said from behind the door, "Uhh, door is too small for me."

"Huh?" Gohan said as he suddenly poked his head in, only to see a colossal big male in front of the doorway, who looked down at Gohan and blinked, before he pointed a finger at Gohan and asked, "Hey, who are you?"

However, a voice behind the big guy suddenly said, "Oho, don't forget about me!!'

Whis poked his head out from behind the giant as Gohan blinked, before saying, "Oh, hey Whis!! Is he with you!?"

"Oh, of course!!" Whis said, "May we come in?"

"Uhhh, well…" Gohan said awkwardly as Piccolo suddenly shouted from inside the house, "Hey!! Both of you quit playing around and get over here!!"

Gohan looked behind him at Piccolo, before looking back out at Broly, wondering how he would be able to get Broly in.

48 minutes Later……………..

Gohan sat in a chair, looking around awkwardly as Broly and Cheelai sat on a sofa, Lemo on another chair, and Piccolo took a rocking recliner while Whis simply insisted on standing

Gohan looked at the wall next to the door, seeing a Broly-shaped hole in it, due to Broly thinking it would have been better to just bulldoze through the wall instead of squeezing through the door, as Gohan looked back at Broly

"Aherm," Gohan cleared his throat so as to try and lighten the awkward mood, "So, uhh, I'm Gohan. Son Gohan. And it is indeed a pleasure to meet you all."

Cheelai looked around at the interior of Gohan's house as she said, "You have a nice place, Gohan. So, uhh, you are Goku's kid?"

"His firstborn," Gohan said, "there is also my little brother, Goten."

"Goten?" Lemo repeated, "He sounds like a nice fellow."

"He is," Gohan said with a small beam, "he is my brother and I love him closely."

"Ah, yes, yes, well, back to business," Whis said, "So, Gohan, seeing as how our current predicament is, Beerus sent me here to give you all a warning, but I could perhaps give you advice as well."

"Advice?" Gohan asked. Whis had already filled him in on Dad's and Vegeta's conditions and of the situation, so if anything, Gohan definitely wanted to hear anything that could perhaps be of use

Whis put a finger to his chin as he said, "Well, this foe is an extremely adept fighter, as he knows an uncountable number of martial arts from all over the universe while having much more experience than everyone in this room, besides me of course."

"Huh, I'm not really surprised, to be honest," Piccolo commented as Whis added, "He however is a very adaptable and tricky opponent. You see, an attack that may have worked on him once usually doesn't work a second time, mainly because his entire body itself is a sentient being, and so it remembers everything and then adapts to it so as to greatly decrease the effectiveness of that same attack."

"Hmm, he sounds like a very powerful foe. I can see now why my Dad and Vegeta fell to him," Gohan said when suddenly Whis corrected Gohan, "Now, had Goku and Vegeta been aware of his abilities and the information I am about to give you, perhaps they might have had a better fighting chance."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lemo asked

"Allow me to explain," Whis answered, "You see, The Imitator, as he normally goes by, rarely uses ki attacks and usually resorts to up close combat, due to the fact that he can manipulate his body into different shapes, substances, and purposes."

"What does that mean?" Cheelai asked as Piccolo suddenly answered, "I think Whis is saying that this guy can basically turn himself into different weapons."

"Well, yes, but not only weapons," Whis said, "He can also turn his body into pure misty fog or even elements."

"How is that even possible?" Cheelai asked, as everyone else had the same confused expression as they looked at Whis

"Well, that's because he is a being made from pure energy," Whis said as Broly suddenly remembered how when Vegeta had impaled his fist into The Imitator's chest, and how when Vegeta got it loose, there was nothing but pure white light inside

"You see, he doesn't limit himself to one single shape, as he can also change his appearance at will," Whis said, as he put his free arm behind his back, as he said, "However, even if he is shape-shifted into one person, he always has blemish somewhere on his body, a imperfection per se."

"Noted," Gohan said, "Is that all, Whis?"

"Ah, yes, the most important part," Whis said, "I don't know if any of you would ever resort to this sort of method, but do not, under any circumstances, ever try to absorb him."

"Why? What happens?" Broly asked, curiosity written on his face as Whis shook his head, "I'll simply say that nasty things will happen."

Gohan and Piccolo looked at one another as they both decided that it would be a good idea to tell that to a certain pink, walking and talking gluttonous blob

"Any way, I must really go, Lord Beerus is most likely already being driven senseless by the fact that he is alone with your father and Vegeta," Whis said with a chuckle as he turned around to leave, saying, "Anyway, I shall be seeing you all later, if you survive that is. And I wish you all luck!"

Gohan, Cheelai, Lemo, and Broly waves their hands at Whis as the attendant leaves. However, before the attendant walked out of the door, Piccolo suddenly called Whis, asking, "How do you know all this? Everything about….this guy?"

"Oh, well, because he was once Beerus's servant," Whis said, "Anyway, I must go, so good luck. Ta-ta!"

After Whis left, Cheelai sighed as she said, "Man, that was surely a lot to take in."

Gohan sighed as he looked to the giant hole beside his door as he suddenly said, "I probably should have asked Whis to fix that."

"Riiiight," Cheelai said in a rather awkward tone, "So, uhhh, basically we've gotta prepare for this guy? Not that I know how we'd do that."

"Hmph, well, we'd have to gather everyone that we could," Piccolo said, "17 and 18, Tien, everyone that we can get. And as for you, Gohan, we need to get you and Goten and your mother alongside Vegeta's family and get you all to a safe place."

"What!?" Gohan said, "You mean you're going to fight him without me!!?"

"Yes," Piccolo said, "If he is going to go after everyone even remotely related to Goku and Vegeta, then we have to get you, Goten, Pan, Trunks, and Bulla somewhere safe where he won't be able to get his hands on any of you."

"But without Dad or Vegeta here," Gohan said, "I'm one of the strongest fighters we have here!"

"I know, but I'm not going to let any of you get killed," Piccolo said as he suddenly turned to Broly as he added, "And besides, his energy seems pretty high. So if anything, we won't be entirely defenseless."

Gohan sighed as he replied, "That still doesn't help at all. I don't like the idea of just leaving you guys alone."

"Hmph, well, if you're out there fighting with us, then exactly who is gonna be protecting yours and Vegeta's family?" Piccolo asked, and at this Gohan blinked, as he was about silent

"Anyway, we've talked about this enough, I should go out and tell the rest. And maybe tell Bulma and see if she has any bright ideas while I'm at it as well," Piccolo said as he raised from his recliner, which creaked as it rocked back and forth

"Bulma?" Cheelai asked, "That's Vegeta's wife, right?"

"Yes. She possesses some big intellect. Seeing as how this Anomaly that we're dealing with is a being of pure energy, maybe she could figure something out to help us," Piccolo answered as the Namekian began to walk towards the door before he suddenly said, "And Gohan. You and I are gonna be spending some time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber tomorrow. So I'd recommend that you go and get some sleep."

"Oh, uh, right," Gohan said, "I'll see you tomorrow then, Piccolo."

Once the Namekian left through the door, Gohan sighed as he looked at the giant hole by the door, saying to himself, "Man, Videl's gonna be mad."

"Uhh, right, sorry about that," Lemo said apologetically

Broly looked at Lemo and Cheelai, confused as to why they looked so embarrassed as Broly asked, "Huh? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, no, you didn't do anything wrong," Gohan said as he adjusted his glasses, pushing them a bit further up the bridge of his nose

Soon, an awkward silence began to creep in as the group sat uncomfortably, until Gohan finally broke the silence as he asked, "So, are you guys hungry?"

Goten silently crept through the dark hallway, before poking his head into the room. Inside the room, Chi Chi slept in the bed, peacefully asleep.

Goten turned back around as he began tiptoeing out of the hallway, going to the kitchen as the small child made a beeline for the refrigerator, opening it as he scanned the shelves, before suddenly pulling out a small ziploc bag that sat in the back of one of the bottom shelves, as in the bag several differently shaped chocolates were chilled, sealed inside the bag as Goten silently closed the fridge

Goten began tiptoeing again until he was at the front door, as his little hand reached up and grasped the doorknob, turning it slowly the the door slowly opened, and Goten slipped out as he closed the door behind him

"Did you get the candy?" a voice asked behind Goten as the Saiyan turned around to see the lilac haired Trunks behind him, as Goten smiled at his friend, holding up the big ziploc bag as he said, "Yup! And they're chilled too!!"

"Awesome!" Trunks said as Goten opened the bag, as the two began to wander off further away from the house, eating the chocolates as Goten turned to Trunks, as the black haired boy asked, "So, uh, yeah, that was a little embarrassing. Ya know, back there earlier with that super big bug guy?"

"Oh, uhh, right," Trunks replied, his cheeks turning red as the two both remembered all too well the failed fusion during the battle against the big android

"Soooo," Trunks said as he swallowed a chocolate he had been chewing on, "What if we started training? You know, like my Dad and your Dad?"

"Training?" Goten said as he scratched his head, before replying, "I mean, yeah, that would actually be a good idea, but isn't it boring?"

"Good point," Trunks replied, remembering their time when they were training non-stop in order for the fusion to work and to fight Buu, "But hey! We got super strong and got to kick butt!"

"Yeah!!" Goten said in agreement, "But…..well, that training was mostly focused on doing the dance."

"Huh, right," Trunks replied, "We didn't really use a lot of the time to focus solely on training ourselves."

Goten began to get his brain thinking. What would happen if they actually trained? Could they go past Super Saiyan? What if……they were able to get to Super Saiyan 3? Without having to turn into Gotenks?

Goten suddenly turned to Trunks, as the boy suddenly said, "Hey, Trunks. Wanna dance?"

Vegeta looked across the landscape, the water of the large lake peaceful and unmoving as silence had taken over the atmosphere. Vegeta held up his hand in front of him, before the Saiyan Prince suddenly said to himself, "Just…exactly who was…..that guy?"

Vegeta had never felt more humiliated. He was the prince of the Saiyans! So how could he have let himself be defeated so easily?!

Vegeta felt his hand begin to slowly close until it was clenching closed tightly, turning into a tight fist. However, in a sudden fit, he suddenly held his fist above his head, before bringing it down with all his might, smashing his fist into the earth with fury and a intense vigor

A spiderweb of cracks appeared on the ground around Vegeta as several chunks of earth went flying all around him, flying through the air as Vegeta gritted his teeth, "Damn that blue bastard!! Next time, you won't take me off guard!! I'm going to tear off that damned tail of yours and shove it down your throat!!"

However, suddenly, the sound of feet touching the ground and grass bending caught Vegeta's attention as a voice behind Vegeta said, "Hmph, well, throwing a temper tantrum over losing a fight prematurely isn't going to get you anywhere."

Vegeta turned around and saw the purple feline destroyer, Beerus

Vegeta didn't say anything to the God of Destruction as Beerus sighed, saying, "Hmm, not going to say anything? Good. Now, Vegeta, as I understand, you currently have a little problem with the blue deity who felled you so easily. Hence why I've decided to help you out a little in order to master your latent destructive capability."

Vegeta was still silent as Beerus talked, and the cat god looked at Vegeta, before Beerus suddenly gave a sly smile, saying, "Hmm, you look rather silent today Vegeta. Did one loss really hurt you that badly?"

"Tch, hardly," Vegeta replied, finally talking as the Saiyan suddenly said, "I'm just wondering why you're helping me. You usually wouldn't at all bother with this kind of thing, even if my very neck was to be stretched out for you to snip."

Beerus looked at Vegeta, his expression blank as the cat god sighed, "Huh, my, I take rather an offense to that, Vegeta. Seeing as how you were a big reason why Universe 7 wasn't erased, and due to recent events, I just simply felt like I had a debt to repay."

"Tch, since when did you care about repaying debt?" Vegeta asked, "What's really going on, Beerus?"

At this, the God of Destruction's expression became serious as Beerus answered, "Hmph, well, you are feeling rather bold, Vegeta. Did you really hit your head?"

Beerus suddenly leaned in closer, as his tone of voice held a foreboding sense of grave danger, "That thing you fought is a powerful foe, and if he is in the wrong hands, he could be the death of you, your family, and everyone you know. Now are you really going to keep asking questions?"

"What? Exactly how is he going to be the death of everyone!?" Vegeta asked as Beerus took a step back, as the cat god replied, "Well, you see, he was assigned to wipe out anyone and everyone that he related to both you and Goku by blood. And if he needs to, he'll kill anyone in his way."

The words hit Vegeta like a powerful blow that he wasn't prepared for, as he felt all the oxygen leave his body for a good moment, as Beerus explained, "See now? I don't exactly feel like fighting him right now, and seeing as how he isn't exactly going to unbalance the universe yet, it isn't really in my jurisdiction to intervene. Besides, seeing his current targets, you more likely want to be the one to take him out, isn't that right?"

Vegeta was at first quiet, his face a darkened expression. However, suddenly, Vegeta turned to Beerus, a smile on his face as Vegeta answered Beerus, "Heh, well, when you put it that way, yes, I want to be the one to kill that bastard. Alright Beerus, I'm ready for anything you throw at me."

Beerus smiled, pleasure in his voice as Beerus said, "Heh, well, good choice, Vegeta."

Vegeta smiled as he stood up straight, a new vigor and determination in him as a fiery spark lit up in his eyes, and Vegeta simply replied, "I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to potentially surpass Kakarot!"
