[PLANET EARTH – MORNING]
The sun rises over the mountainous landscape, casting a warm glow over the land. Birds chirp, and a gentle breeze rustles the trees. It's a calm day at Capsule Corp, where Goku and Vegeta are engaged in a heated sparring session. Their movements are so fast that they're almost invisible to the naked eye, and each punch and kick sends shockwaves across the surrounding area.
VEGETA (breathing heavily, grinning): "Kakarot, if you think I'll let you stay ahead of me, you're dead wrong!"
GOKU (grinning back, sweat dripping down his forehead): "You always say that, Vegeta!"
[With a sudden burst of speed, Vegeta goes into his Ultra Ego form, his hair glowing purple, and charges at Goku. Goku instantly shifts into Ultra Instinct, narrowly dodging Vegeta's attack. They continue clashing, shaking the ground with their battle.]
CUT TO the Capsule Corp building, where Bulma is monitoring the fight from her high-tech lab, her eyes moving between multiple screens tracking their power levels.
BULMA (sighing, muttering to herself): "Those two are going to destroy this planet before any enemy gets the chance."
[Suddenly, one of her monitors flashes red, alerting her to a massive energy reading. Bulma's face turns serious as she quickly types on her keyboard, bringing up a map of Universe 7.]
BULMA: "What the…? This power… it's unlike anything I've ever seen."
[The map zooms in on a distant point in the universe, where a crimson pulse flickers, growing larger and more intense.]
CUT TO a shot of the Sacred World of the Kais, where Supreme Kai and Kibito sense the disturbance.
SUPREME KAI (alarmed): "Do you feel that, Kibito? This energy… it's not from our universe!"
KIBITO (nodding, worried): "It feels… twisted. Full of pain and anger."
[Back on Earth, Goku and Vegeta stop fighting, sensing the same overwhelming energy. Both warriors turn their heads toward the sky, their expressions serious.]
GOKU: "Do you feel that, Vegeta?"
VEGETA (narrowing his eyes): "It's not from this world. It's… something else."
[At that moment, Whis and Beerus descend from the sky, appearing in front of the two Saiyans.]
WHIS (smiling, but with an edge of concern): "Goku, Vegeta, we need to talk. There's a power coming that might just be beyond even the two of you."
GOKU (excitedly): "Oh yeah? Is it another strong fighter?"
BEERUS (annoyed, snapping): "This isn't a game, fool! This energy… it's unlike anything even I have encountered. It's not just strength, it's something far more dangerous."
VEGETA (crossing his arms): "What could possibly make you this nervous, Beerus?"
[Beerus hesitates, his expression darkening.]
BEERUS: "It's not just power, Vegeta. It's… chaos. Reality itself is shifting around this presence. Whoever they are, they have the ability to bend existence to their will."
[A tense silence follows, and then Whis' staff begins to glow. He taps it on the ground, and a portal opens, revealing a hazy image of Wanda Maximoff standing in another dimension, her eyes glowing red. The ground around her is scorched, and the air ripples with crimson energy.]
WHIS (serious): "This is our visitor. She's traveling through dimensions in search of something… or someone. And I fear that if she doesn't find it, she will tear our universe apart."
GOKU (fascinated, stepping closer to the portal): "Whoa… I've never felt energy like this before. It's… sad, but so powerful."
VEGETA (skeptical, narrowing his eyes): "She doesn't look like much. What makes her so dangerous?"
WHIS (gazing at Wanda's image): "It's not just about strength, Vegeta. She can alter reality itself. The very laws of existence bend to her will. What you see is only a fraction of her true power."
[CUT TO the image of Wanda in the portal, her crimson aura intensifying as she mutters softly to herself, "I will find you… I promise." The ground trembles and cracks under her feet, showcasing the sheer force of her anguish.]
BEERUS (gravely serious): "If she's not stopped, there won't be an Earth left for you two to fight on. I've already seen her tear apart entire dimensions in her search."
GOKU (eyes widening): "Then we have to stop her, right? We can't just let her keep going."
VEGETA (smirking confidently): "Hmph. If she thinks she can come into our universe and do as she pleases, she's in for a rude awakening."
WHIS (smiling faintly): "Confidence is good, Vegeta. But this is not an opponent you can simply overpower. You'll need to be prepared… all of you."
[CUT TO moments of the Z Fighters across the world:
Piccolo meditating in a forest, his eyes snapping open as he senses the disturbance.
Gohan is training with Pan, suddenly freezing as he feels the surge of energy.
Android 17 on his island sanctuary, looking up at the sky, his expression darkening.]
[BACK AT CAPSULE CORP]
BULMA (bursting out of her lab, shouting): "Goku! Vegeta! Whatever's coming, it's approaching fast!"
[Goku and Vegeta turn to the sky as the clouds begin swirling, turning a dark crimson. The air grows heavy, and an eerie silence fills the area.]
GOKU (smiling, eager): "Looks like she's almost here."
VEGETA (grinning, cracking his knuckles): "Good. Let's see what this so-called 'Scarlet Witch' can do."
[Suddenly, the air around them begins to shimmer, and red energy crackles in the sky. The portal distorts violently, and Wanda's voice echoes through the air, layered with pain and anger.]
WANDA (voice echoing across the sky): "I will find my boys… and I will tear apart anyone who stands in my way!"
[The sky shatters like glass, and reality ripples as a figure emerges from the fractured portal—WANDA MAXIMOFF, cloaked in a crimson aura, her eyes burning with unyielding determination and sorrow. She floats above the ground, her gaze scanning the area as if searching for something, or someone.]
GOKU (serious, taking a step forward): "You must be Wanda."
[Wanda's gaze snaps to him, her expression unreadable, but there's a flicker of recognition, as if she's seen countless versions of this moment before.]
WANDA: "You don't understand. I don't want to hurt anyone… but I will, if I have to."
GOKU (nodding, sympathetic yet firm): "I get it. You're looking for something important, right? But if you keep going like this, you'll destroy everything. We can't let that happen."
VEGETA (stepping up beside Goku, aura flaring): "We don't care what your reason is. If you threaten our world, we'll put you down!"
[Wanda's eyes narrow, and for a moment, there's a flicker of sadness. Then, with a gesture, the ground around her begins to warp, rising up like tendrils ready to strike.]
WANDA: "I won't let anyone stop me… not again."
[Suddenly, the energy around Wanda erupts, sending a shockwave that forces Goku, Vegeta, and everyone else to brace themselves.]
WHIS (whispering, almost to himself): "It begins…"
The air crackles with tension as Goku and Vegeta stand in front of Wanda Maximoff, facing off against her amidst the crumbling ruins of an old factory. A cold wind blows, and debris floats unnaturally in the air, held by Wanda's chaotic energy. The sky above them has turned a deep crimson, swirling with storm clouds that pulse with red lightning.
GOKU (stretching his arms, excited): "It's been a while since I've faced someone this strong right from the start. Are you ready, Vegeta?"
VEGETA (smirking, eyes locked on Wanda): "I was born ready, Kakarot. Let's show her what Saiyan power really means."
WANDA (floating above the ground, eyes glowing): "You're making a mistake. I don't want to fight… but if you stand in my way, I'll make you regret it."
GOKU (serious now, settling into his fighting stance): "We can't let you keep going, Wanda. This ends here."
[Without another word, Goku vanishes with a burst of speed, reappearing in front of Wanda with a fist aimed straight for her face. But just before he connects, she flicks her wrist, and the space around her distorts, bending his trajectory. Goku flies past her, narrowly avoiding crashing into a nearby building.]
VEGETA: "Kakarot, stop playing around!"
[Vegeta leaps into the air, his aura flaring purple as he transforms into his Ultra Ego form. He charges at Wanda, delivering a powerful punch. This time, Wanda raises a glowing hand and catches Vegeta's fist effortlessly, a ripple of energy bursting out from the impact.]
VEGETA (eyes wide in disbelief): "What?!"
WANDA (calm, almost disappointed): "Is this really all you have?"
[With a wave of her hand, she sends Vegeta hurtling backward, crashing through several buildings. Goku charges again, this time using Ultra Instinct, moving with incredible speed and fluidity. He lands a flurry of punches and kicks, but Wanda's reality-warping abilities distort his movements. Each blow seems to bend around her, missing by inches.]
GOKU (frustrated): "Why can't I hit her?!"
WANDA: "Because I'm not bound by the same rules as you."
[She thrusts her hands forward, and red energy tendrils shoot out, wrapping around Goku's limbs. Goku struggles against them, but the tendrils tighten, lifting him into the air.]
GOKU (gritting his teeth): "Vegeta… now!"
[Suddenly, Vegeta reappears behind Wanda, his body charged with purple lightning. He fires a massive Final Flash point-blank at her. The entire area lights up as the blast engulfs Wanda, sending shockwaves across the landscape. Dust and debris swirl, and for a moment, there's silence.]
VEGETA (breathing heavily, smirking): "Hmph. That should do it."
[As the dust clears, Wanda is revealed, surrounded by a protective barrier of crimson energy. Her eyes open slowly, and the barrier pulses, shattering the remains of the Final Flash.]
WANDA (emotionless): "You're strong, but you still don't understand. You can't win."
[Wanda clenches her fist, and the air around Goku and Vegeta warps. Both fighters are suddenly crushed by an intense gravitational force, slamming them into the ground. The earth cracks beneath them as they struggle to move.]
GOKU (straining, his aura flaring brighter): "I… won't… give up!"
[With a shout, Goku channels all his energy, breaking free of the gravitational hold and launching into the sky. He extends his hands upward, gathering energy for a Kamehameha.]
GOKU: "KA… ME… HA… ME…!"
[As he's about to unleash the attack, Wanda tilts her head and whispers, "Enough." She flicks her fingers, and the energy from Goku's Kamehameha disperses instantly, vanishing into thin air. Goku's eyes widen in shock.]
WANDA: "You're fighting the inevitable."
[Before Goku can react, Wanda gestures, and the entire battlefield transforms. The ruins twist and contort, and suddenly, Goku finds himself surrounded by multiple copies of Vegeta, all snarling and ready to attack.]
VEGETA (from the ground, watching in disbelief): "What is this sorcery?!"
GOKU: "Vegeta, this isn't real! It's an illusion!"
[Wanda's voice echoes around them, layered and haunting.]
WANDA: "Can you tell what's real… and what isn't?"
[Goku powers up, trying to break free from the illusion, but the false Vegetas attack, each one hitting with the same power as the original. He's forced to fight back, every hit feeling real.]
GOKU (thinking): "I can't waste my energy on this… I need to find the real one!"
[Meanwhile, Vegeta, on the ground, finally gathers enough strength to stand. He looks up at Wanda, who is still hovering calmly, her aura intensifying.]
VEGETA (gritting his teeth, roaring): "I'll show you what real power is!"
[He powers up, reaching the peak of his Ultra Ego form, and launches himself at Wanda, creating a massive explosion of energy as he collides with her barrier. For the first time, Wanda winces, but then her eyes flash with anger.]
WANDA: "ENOUGH!"
[She extends her hands, and reality warps violently. The ground beneath Goku and Vegeta splits apart, and they're hurled into the air. Wanda gestures again, and hundreds of massive boulders rise, slamming into them from every direction.]
[Goku is thrown through the sky, crashing hard into a nearby mountain, while Vegeta is buried under a wave of rubble.]
GOKU (panting, struggling to stand): "This… this isn't like anything we've ever faced…"
[Wanda descends, landing gracefully on the ground, walking slowly toward them. Her eyes are glowing brighter than ever.]
WANDA (softly, almost pitying): "I warned you. You can't fight what you don't understand."
[As she raises her hand to deliver the final blow, Goku forces himself to his feet, aura blazing despite his injuries.]
GOKU (determined, staring her down): "Maybe… but we're not done yet."
[Vegeta bursts out from the rubble, his aura burning purple, battered but unbroken.]
VEGETA: "We'll keep coming… until we win!"
[The two Saiyans charge at Wanda one more time, their combined energy shaking the earth.]
[ Goku and Vegeta launch themselves at Wanda, their combined power resonating with enough force to crack the ground beneath them. Their attacks are relentless, fists and energy blasts flying at speeds that are barely visible. But Wanda remains calm, her movements graceful and deliberate as she dodges or redirects each strike.]
WANDA (voice calm, but tinged with frustration): "Why do you keep fighting? You can't win."
[Goku shifts into Ultra Instinct, his movements becoming fluid and unpredictable, while Vegeta's Ultra Ego form crackles with purple lightning, amplifying his every strike. The two Saiyans sync up instinctively, coordinating their attacks with years of battle-hardened experience.]
GOKU (smirking despite his exhaustion): "Because that's who we are. We don't give up!"
[Vegeta channels all his energy into a massive punch, aiming straight for Wanda's face. She raises her hand to block, but at that moment, Goku appears behind her, cupping his hands together.]
GOKU: "Ka… Me… Ha… Me… HA!"
[The beam explodes forth with incredible intensity, hitting Wanda square in the back. For the first time, she lets out a gasp of pain, her barrier flickering and cracking.]
VEGETA (shouting as he lands his punch): "Take this!"
[The combined force of their attacks sends Wanda flying back, crashing into a mountain with an earth-shattering impact. The dust settles, and the Z Fighters take a moment to catch their breath.]
GOKU (panting, smiling): "I think we got her."
VEGETA (cautious, breathing heavily): "Don't be a fool, Kakarot. It's not over yet."
[As if to confirm Vegeta's words, the rubble shifts, and Wanda rises from the crater. Her clothes are torn, and her face is bruised, but her eyes glow brighter than ever, fueled by a deep, burning rage.]
WANDA (voice trembling with anger and sorrow): "You… you don't understand. I won't be stopped. I can't be stopped!"
[With a scream, Wanda's energy erupts, creating a massive shockwave that forces Goku and Vegeta to their knees. The landscape begins to distort, turning into an abstract, surreal nightmare as the very fabric of reality bends to her will. Buildings twist and stretch, the sky splits into multiple colors, and the ground shifts like liquid.]
GOKU (struggling to stay on his feet): "What is this?!"
VEGETA (gritting his teeth): "She's warping reality itself!"
[Wanda floats forward, her hands crackling with chaotic energy. With a flick of her wrist, she sends Vegeta crashing into a floating piece of debris, pinning him there with invisible force. Goku tries to charge at her, but she gestures, and his body freezes mid-air, unable to move.]
WANDA (tears streaming down her face, her voice broken): "Why can't you just leave me alone?! All I want… all I need… is to find them!"
[Goku struggles against her hold, his eyes filled with sympathy and determination.]
GOKU: "I understand… I've fought to protect my family too. But this… this won't bring them back!"
[For a moment, Wanda's expression softens, her eyes flickering between sorrow and rage. Then, as if hardening herself against doubt, she tightens her grip, and Goku's body begins to crackle with red energy, his own life force being drained.]
GOKU (struggling, gasping): "Vegeta… now!"
[Suddenly, Vegeta's aura explodes with power, breaking free from Wanda's hold. He summons all of his remaining energy into his hand, forming a massive Final Shine Attack. The green energy grows larger and brighter until it illuminates the entire battlefield.]
VEGETA (roaring with every ounce of strength he has left): "I told you… we won't give up! FINAL SHINE ATTACK!"
[The blast hurtles toward Wanda, its light blinding as it approaches. For a split second, Wanda's eyes widen in shock, and she raises both hands, channeling her energy to form a barrier. The two forces collide, and the shockwave shakes the entire landscape, tearing the ground apart and sending debris flying in all directions.]
[CUT TO the Sacred World of the Kais, where Supreme Kai and Kibito watch in awe.]
SUPREME KAI: "Their power… it's beyond anything I've ever seen. But can they really stop her?"
BACK TO THE BATTLEFIELD
The dust clears, and we see Wanda on one knee, her barrier cracked but still holding. She looks up at Vegeta, breathing heavily, her voice now filled with desperation.
WANDA (barely holding back tears): "Why… why won't you let me find them?!"
[Vegeta collapses, drained of all his energy, but manages to glare at her one last time.]
VEGETA (panting, with a faint smirk): "Because… we're the defenders of this world. And we… don't… lose."
[Goku, now free from Wanda's grip, summons every last bit of energy he has, his aura flaring white-hot as he ascends to his mastered Ultra Instinct form one final time. He floats down beside Vegeta, placing a hand on his shoulder.]
GOKU (grateful, smiling): "Thanks, Vegeta. Now, it's my turn."
[He steps forward, facing Wanda one-on-one. Despite everything, Wanda looks at him with tired eyes, her body trembling.]
WANDA: "You… still want to fight?"
GOKU (nodding, serious): "If that's what it takes to stop you, then yes. But maybe… we don't have to."
[Wanda hesitates, but then her energy flares one more time. "No! I won't be denied!" She raises her hands, gathering all her power into one final, devastating attack.]
GOKU (softly, but with unwavering resolve): "I'm sorry, Wanda."
[He cups his hands together, the energy forming between them brighter than ever before.]
GOKU: "KA… ME… HA… ME…"
[Wanda releases her attack, a massive wave of crimson energy surging toward Goku, distorting reality as it travels. Goku thrusts his hands forward.]
GOKU: "HAAAA!"
[The Kamehameha collides with Wanda's blast, the two energies clashing in an explosion of light and color. For a moment, it seems evenly matched, but slowly, Goku's energy begins to push Wanda's back, inch by inch.]
WANDA (screaming, pouring everything she has into the attack): "I… won't… lose!"
GOKU (voice steady, determined): "You've already lost."
[With one final push, Goku's Kamehameha overwhelms Wanda's attack, engulfing her in a blinding flash of light. The ground shakes, the sky clears, and everything falls silent.]
[As the light fades, Wanda collapses to the ground, her energy completely drained. She looks up at Goku, tears streaming down her face.]
WANDA (whispering, broken): "I just… wanted them back…"
[Goku kneels beside her, offering her a kind smile.]
GOKU: "I know. And maybe… there's a way to help you find them. But not like this."
[The sky begins to clear, and sunlight breaks through the clouds.]
[BEERUS ARRIVES]
[The battlefield is silent as Goku helps Wanda to her feet, both of them battered and exhausted from the intense fight. The energy in the air has finally settled, but the tension remains thick, as if the universe itself is holding its breath. Suddenly, the ground trembles, and a powerful aura washes over the area, sending chills down everyone's spine.]
VEGETA (barely standing, eyes widening): "No… it can't be…"
[A shadow falls over them, and they all look up to see Beerus, the God of Destruction, descending from the sky, his expression unreadable. Whis follows close behind, his staff glowing faintly. Beerus lands gracefully, his eyes scanning the battlefield, taking in the destruction and the devastation around him.]
BEERUS (calmly, but with an undercurrent of menace): "You've caused quite the mess, haven't you?"
[Goku straightens up, still panting from his fight, as he steps in front of Wanda protectively. Vegeta manages to push himself up, glaring at Beerus with both respect and wariness.]
GOKU (cautiously): "Beerus… I thought you were just watching from afar."
BEERUS (raising an eyebrow): "And allow you to let a threat like this run rampant? You should know better, Goku."
[Wanda, trembling and barely able to stand, looks up at Beerus, sensing his overwhelming power. For the first time, genuine fear flickers in her eyes.]
WANDA (weakly): "Who… who are you?"
BEERUS (fixing his gaze on her, voice icy): "I am Beerus, the God of Destruction. And you, Scarlet Witch, have caused far more trouble than I care to tolerate."
[Whis steps forward, his usual playful demeanor gone, replaced by a serious expression.]
WHIS: "You've torn apart the fabric of this universe, Wanda. Your search for your children has put countless lives at risk. I'm afraid your actions can't go unpunished."
[Wanda's eyes well up with tears, her body shaking. She stumbles, and Goku catches her before she falls.]
GOKU (pleading): "Wait, Beerus! She's not a threat anymore. She's… she's just lost."
BEERUS (unmoved): "Lost or not, she's a danger to this universe. I can't allow her to continue existing if there's even a chance she'll try this again."
[The air grows heavy as Beerus begins to power up, his aura flaring around him with an ominous, purple glow. The ground cracks under the pressure, and Wanda winces, feeling the crushing weight of his power.]
VEGETA (gritting his teeth, stepping forward despite his injuries): "You can't be serious, Beerus! She's done fighting!"
BEERUS (snarling, eyes narrowing): "And how many times have I heard that before? It's not about whether she's done. It's about ensuring she'll never have the chance to start again."
[Beerus raises his hand, forming a small but intensely bright sphere of destruction energy. Wanda stares at it, helpless, her eyes filled with fear. Just as Beerus prepares to release the attack, Goku steps forward, arms outstretched.]
GOKU (shouting): "No! I won't let you destroy her!"
[The area trembles under Beerus's power, but Goku doesn't move. He stands his ground, his aura flickering with the remnants of his Ultra Instinct energy.]
BEERUS (furious): "Do you dare challenge me, Goku?!"
GOKU (staring him down, unwavering): "She deserves a chance to find another way. To make things right."
[For a long, tense moment, the two stand off against each other. Vegeta watches, his fists clenched, ready to intervene despite knowing he's outmatched. Wanda looks up at Goku, her eyes wide with disbelief. Finally, Beerus lets out an exasperated sigh, lowering his hand.]
BEERUS (grumbling): "You really are a stubborn fool, Goku. But I'll give you this one chance. If she shows even the slightest hint of causing more trouble, I will erase her without hesitation."
[Goku visibly relaxes, and Vegeta lets out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. Wanda collapses to her knees, overwhelmed with relief.]
WANDA (barely whispering): "Why… why would you protect me?"
GOKU (smiling kindly): "Because everyone deserves a second chance."
[Beerus turns to leave, but not before giving Goku one last warning.]
BEERUS: "Remember, Goku… mercy has its limits. Don't make me regret this."
[Whis taps his staff, and the energy around them calms, the sky returning to its normal color. He glances at Wanda with a gentle, yet firm look.]
WHIS: "You have been given an opportunity that most wouldn't receive, Wanda. Don't waste it."
[With that, Beerus and Whis ascend into the sky, disappearing in a flash of light. The tension finally dissipates, and Goku collapses to one knee, exhausted but smiling. Vegeta steps up beside him, shaking his head.]
VEGETA: "You really are an idiot, Kakarot. You just risked everything for her."
GOKU (chuckling weakly): "I know… but sometimes, that's what being a hero is about."
[The camera pans out, showing the battlefield littered with debris, but now bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. Wanda looks out at the horizon, tears streaming down her face as she whispers.]
WANDA: "Thank you…"
[The scene ends with Goku, Vegeta, and Wanda standing together, the first steps toward healing and redemption beginning. As they watch the sun dip below the horizon, a sense of calm finally settles over Universe 7.]
TO BE CONTINUED...
