Pan looked around after entering the tear. She was surprised to see they had entered the exact same place they had just come from, only...

Standing in front of them was a surprised, but living, Gowasu. "Who are you people and what are you doing in my home?"

Chronoa introduced herself, "I am the Supreme Kai of Time, were attempting to track down a demon woman known by the name of Towa."

Gowasu gave a start and bowed deeply to Chronoa. "It is an honor to meet you."

He righted himself and frowned. "Towa you say? The name isn't familiar to me, perhaps my apprentice would know?"

Gowasu clapped his hands. "Zamasu! We have honored guests!"

Goku and Vegeta gave a start and echoed. "Zamasu?"

Double doors leading deeper into the dwelling opened and out came a green Kaioshin with a white mohawk wheeling a cart with tea on it. Goku and Vegeta immediately tensed. Gohan followed suit. Pan frowned, stretching her senses out to probe the Kaioshin. She knew the story of Goku Black and Zamasu, but, this one didn't feel evil.

Zamasu hesitated, sighting the group of tense mortals. "Have... I done something to offend you all?"

Goku frowned for a moment before relaxing. "No, sorry, you reminded us of someone we had fought in the past."

Zamasu grew perplexed. "You... fought a Kaioshin?"

Vegeta crossed his arms, and spoke, his voice taunting. "A Kaioshin who grew to big for his britches, betrayed his master, and tried to kill all mortals in existence."

Zamasu flinched at those words. "Oh, umm, that is most unfortunate. Though, that seems like a mater gods should have handled, not mortals."

Gowasu turned to Zamasu and motioned to Chronoa. "She is the Supreme Kai of Time and is here attempting to track down someone. Is the name Towa familiar to you?"

Zamasu looked surprised at the name before nodded. "Well... yes... I met her here years ago while you were off on some task."

Gowasu frowned. "You never mentioned this, Zamasu."

Zamasu winced. "W-well, I didn't want to bother you with the insufferable words of that demon."

Gowasu tilted his head to the side and asked. "Insufferable words?"

Zamasu glanced at Vegeta. "I used to wonder about the existence of mortals, whether they had a right to live or not, seeing how they abused their god given wisdom at almost every turn."

Gowasu cleared his throat. "Zamasu we've been over this before..."

Zamasu held up a hand. "But, compared to Demons, mortals are saints. That demon woman appeared here one day, mocked the will of the gods, even mocked my beliefs as if she knew them. She taunted me about killing you, Gowasu, but when she disappeared and you reappeared later I thought she was merely trying to rile me up."

"Well, she DID kill Gowasu in the timeline we came from," said Gohan.

Gowasu appeared horrified. "I'm dead in your timeline?!"

Zamasu seethed. "Wretched demon woman! Slaying gods and moving through time without permission!"

Pan narrowed her eyes, feeling a dark ki appear within Zamasu. Guess he wasn't as good as he appeared.

Chronoa cleared her throat. "Alright, we know she was here, so lets see about tracking her movements."

Chronoa held up her hand, the White Time Ring beginning to glow. Golden dust began to appear and circle around the Kaioshin of Time. Suddenly, she froze, a shocked look crossing her face, and the dust faded.

"Impossible," she whispered.

"What's wrong?" asked Goku.

"Umm, excuse me Gowasu and Zamasu, I need to talk with my friends, alone," said Chronoa with hesitation.

Gowasu bowed. "Of course, we will await you outside, come Zamasu."

The two of them left.

"Rather than hating mortals, this Zamasu apparently hates demons. I suppose that's an improvement," said Vegeta with amusement.

Chronoa scowled, waving her glowing time ring back and forth in the air. "That's not important right now!"

"This world! This timestream! It's an impossibility! It breaks any and all rules of time!" exclaimed Chronoa.

"What do you mean?" asked Gohan.

"There's no past or future here! Only the present!" exclaimed Chronoa.

Pan cocked her head. "Uh... what?"

"There is literally nothing for me to see in the past or in the future! This timestream, no, its not even a timestream. Its some kind of... timeplane if you will. Its its own plane of existence, it does not have a past it flows from, or a future it flows to. It should not exist, its mere existence is a danger to the actual timestreams," said Chronoa.

"It... it has to be destroyed," said Chronoa.

"Destroyed? But... people live here!" exclaimed Goku.

Chronoa crossed her arms. "I know Goku, but, they shouldn't even exist. If left unchecked it could destabilize and destroy the actual timestreams."

"How exactly would we 'destroy' this timeplane?" asked Vegeta.

"Well, I have an idea on that. This timeplane is a distorted reality, there is some change here that caused it to differentiate between our timeline and what its currently gone through. Find the source of this change and destroy it, and this timeplane should unravel," explained Chronoa.

She held up the time ring and a pulse of energy rippled from it, there came a startled cry from outside as Zamasu yelled, "Why am I glowing gray?!"

"Hmph, well that was obvious. Zamasu being alive and changing the focus of his hatred is the change in this timeplane," stated Vegeta, "So we just destroy him and that fixes it."

Goku crossed his arms. "But... this Zamasu isn't that bad..."

"Kakarot! Did you not hear the woman? This timeplane could destroy our timestream!" said Vegeta furiously, "I will not sacrifice my family for this timeplane!"

A sad look crossed Goku's face. "I still don't like it..."

"Well tough luck Kakarot," said Vegeta, "If you're going to be soft and sentimental about it then I'll destroy him myself!"

"But what about Towa?" asked Pan.

"Yes, what about me?" came a voice from above them.

They all whirled around and glanced up to see Towa sitting ontop of the wall, looking down at them with curiosity. "How did you get here? You are not from this time."

Chronoa glared up at her. "We know what you did! You corrupted the main time ring and the five alternate ones! We've been tasked to stop you Towa!"

Towa raised an eyebrow. "AND the alternate ones? I don't remember touching them. Hmm, that's a rather curious development, perhaps they were linked in a way I did not foresee. In that case..."

Towa disappeared and reappeared a few moments later, holding up the ornate box of time rings. "Oh! Just look at my precious time rings! To think I left them behind. Shame on me."

The five tainted time rings floated out of the box, Towa grabbed them and pocketed them. "I'll find a use for them later."

"Grrrr, why in the world did we just leave them on the table?" muttered Chronoa.

Goku stepped forward. "Towa, stop messing with time and give up!"

Towa gave him a studious look. "And who exactly are you?"

"I'm Son Goku!" said Goku.

"Huh, this Towa doesn't appear to know about any of us," said Chronoa.

"This Towa?" echoed Towa before something dawned on her, "Oh! You must be the Supreme Kai of Time my foolish other self was always butting heads with. And these must be members of your 'Time Patrol'."

Vegeta crossed his arms. "We owe no allegiance to her Time Patrol, were here to end this so you don't destroy our timestream!"

Towa frowned. "Destroy the timestream? I'm not fooling around with the main timestream at all. In fact, I went about creating these small blips in time outside of the timestream as to not draw attention to begin with."

"Yeah well good job with that," muttered Pan.

"That Demon Time Ring is disrupting the control of time by its mere existence," said Chronoa, "Do the right thing for once in your life, demon, give up the ring so we can set things right!"

Towa looked irritated. "An unfortunate development, to have drawn such attention. But, oh well. If the other timestreams are destroyed in my quest to create my own perfect world, then its a small price to pay."

"Towa!" shouted Chronoa.

Towa scowled at her. "Stop screeching you little harpy before I put a hole in your throat. Actually, I think I will anyway."

Towa aimed a finger and fired a beam of red energy at Chronoa. Goku turned Super Saiyan Blue and immediately bated it away.

Towa's eyes went wide, a glint of interest in them. "Oh my, is that god ki?"

Goku narrowed his eyes. "This is your last warning lady, give up."

Towa smiled smugly at him. "You are a curious one."

The demoness looked down at Vegeta and Gohan. "Focusing, I can feel that ki within those two as well, interesting."

"Wait a minute, how can she sense god ki?" asked Pan, feeling a little unnerved.

Towa smirked at her, holding up her hand with the Demon Time Ring. "The moment I slipped on my greatest creation, I ascended to a whole new level of existence."

Vegeta and Goku turned Super Saiyan Blue and floated up to levitate next to Goku. Pan did not power up, as much as she wanted to fight, if Towa had god ki, Pan knew she couldn't do a damn thing to her.

Towa smirked and turned to Goku. "I've already leeched off enough energy from this plane of existence. I think I'll do a little investigating of who exactly you and your friends are, then, I'm going to have a bit of fun with you."

Before anyone could move, Towa disappeared.

"Damn coward," muttered Vegeta.

The three of them power down and descended to the ground.

Chronoa crossed her arms. "Hmm, well, now we know a bit more of what were up against at least. We just need to cleanup this timeplane and we'll follow her."

Chronoa led the way outside, the group following her. Gowasu and Zamasu stood there, waiting for them. Chronoa held up her White Time Ring and once again a pulse of energy rippled from it. The moment the energy touched Zamasu he began to glow gray.

"Why am I glowing?" demanded Zamasu.

"Because the sins of your past have caught up with you," warned Vegeta.

Vegeta turned Super Saiyan Blue, aimed a hand, and blew a hole through Zamasu's chest with an energy wave.

Zamasu gave a horrific cry of pain and collapsed to the ground, Gowasu's eyes went with horror and rushed to his apprentices side. "Zamasu!"

Without warning, Zamasu turned completely gray. The grayness began to spread from him, turning the air and Gowasu gray as well and continued to spread. Gowasu did not move, as if he had been petrified. Pan took a step back, wary of what was going on.

"Time shield!" cried out Chronoa before the grayness could reach them.

A bubble of energy surrounded the group as the grayness continued to spread like a virulent plague. Thankfully, the shield protected them.

Chronoa studied the air around them for a moment. "Time... has come to a complete stop on this plane. From what I can sense, this distortion been neutralized. Lets move on then, I can already feel another distortion affecting the timestream."

Chronoa held up her hand with the White Time Ring and energy burst from it, tearing a hole in space and time. Pan took one look around, at the deathly still area around her, before she followed them through it.

Pan looked around after walking through the portal, her eyebrow furrowing. "Are we... back on Earth?"

"It's Earth, but not the Earth of your timeline," warned Chronoa.

They were on what looked like Mount Paozu, but there was something strange about it. The woods around them were clear cut, each tree was in an orderly line as if it had been planted like that. Pan could see Grandpa's house off in the distance.

"Maybe we should do some investigating?" asked Pan, pointing at the house.

Goku nodded and flew towards the house, the group following behind them.

"Grandma is the only one in there," said Pan, using her ki sense.

Goku knocked on the door and waited.

A moment later, a very disheveled looking Chi-Chi opened the door and wearily spoke. "Hello?"

She took one look at Goku and burst into a horrific rage. "I TOLD YOU NEVER TO COME BACK HERE!"

Goku winced and held up his hands. "Woah, whats wrong Chi-Chi?"

"DON'T YOU WHAT'S WRONG CHI-CHI ME YOU BASTARD!" screamed Chi-Chi, "YOU LET THEM TURN MY BABY INTO A MONSTER!"

Gohan stepped forward. "What do you mean mom?"

Chi-Chi took one look at Gohan and scrambled back, falling on her butt, her screams turning into whimpers, "No! Please! Gohan please! Don't hurt me!"

Gohan stood there, dumbstuck, at a loss. "What in the world is going on in this timeplane?"

Gohan walked forward and knelt down next to Chi-Chi. "Mom, I would never hurt you."

Chi-Chi trembled, looking at him warily, as if looking for a trap before she froze. "Your eyes..."

Slowly, she sat up and reached her hands towards Gohan's face. "Y-your eyes aren't like his..."

"You're... your my baby, my real baby!" said Chi-Chi in disbelief before she burst into tears, "My baby's come back to me!"

"Hmph, lets get her inside and get her to tell us whats going on," said Vegeta.

Chi-Chi gave a start and looked at Vegeta, her eyes going wide. "AHH!"

Chi-Chi scrambled and tried to run away. "No! Not him!"

Gohan grabbed her. "Mom! Wait! None of us are going to hurt you."

Pan watched, feeling awful, as Chi-Chi curled into a ball and started to cry. What in the world had happened to this timeplane's version of Grandma? She was... she was just so broken... it was horrifying to see. Gohan picked Chi-Chi up and put her on a chair before putting his hands on her shoulder.

"Mom, were from an... alternate timeline," said Gohan.

Chi-Chi slowly stopped trembling. "Al...alternate... t-timeline?"

"What happened here mom?" asked Gohan, "You said dad let 'them' turn me into a monster? What happened?"

Chi-Chi glared at Goku. "That bastard over there, I thought I fell in love with a hero, but he turned out to be just a coward! When his brother showed up all those years ago, he caved in. He murdered a hundred earthlings to satisfy his sick brother and took Gohan with him into space!"

Goku looked stricken, horrified. "I WHAT?!"

Goku clenched his fists and shook his head. "No! That's not true! I stood up to Raditz!"

"In our timeline maybe, but obviously not in this one," said Vegeta.

"So, this is what Towa meant by 'having fun with you'," said Chronoa sadly to Goku, "She created this timeplane and probably subtly influenced you just to get at you."

The veins on Goku's forehead bulged in furious anger. "That witch... I don't know if I'm more disgusted with her, or with myself for caving in. How could I do such a horrific thing?"

Chi-chi looked at Goku in shock, and spoke with disbelief. "Hes... you're... you're him. You're my Goku..."

Goku looked at Chi-Chi sadly. "I'm sorry Chi, this should never have happened to you."

Vegeta scowled. "Stop getting so sentimental. Woman! What happened when Kakarot came back from space?"

Chi-Chi flinched at his words and looked towards him, a bit of fear in her voice. "G-goku returned with you, Nappa, Raditz, and Gohan about five years later. You declared yourself the Emperor of the Universe, the Legendary Super Saiyan, and decided to make Earth the capital of your Empire."

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Did I? Hmph, I guess I must have been the one to destroy Freeza in this timeplane and took over the Planet Trade Organization. I'm almost jealous."

Chi-Chi got over her fear and glared daggers at him. "You gloated about it all the time! You're the one who turned my baby into a monster! You made him do purge missions, and my husband was too much of a coward to stop you!"

Gohan paled. "P-purge missions?!"

Vegeta crossed his arms. "So, I got the brats hand's dirty then? Hmph."

"My dad would never kill innocent people!" shouted Pan with disbelief.

Chi-Chi turned sharply to Pan. "Y-your dad?"

Chi-Chi slowly stood up and walked over to Pan, kneeling down. "Y-you're... you're my grandbaby?"

Pan grew sheepish all the sudden and nodded. "Y-yeah."

Chi-chi hugged Pan as if the hug were life and death. "Oh... oh my... what's your name sweetie?"

"I'm Pan," said Pan.

"So... you... you're what I missed because my husband was a coward," said Chi-Chi weakly.

"Raditz and Nappa are alive," said Vegeta, "I assume they are the source of this timeplane's distortion."

"It could be possibly be Goku," said Chronoa with uncertainty.

"There's only one way to find out," said Goku, his voice serious, "Were getting to the source of this, and were setting it right."

Chi-Chi separated from Pan and looked at Goku in awe. "It's... its been so long since I've seen you act like the man I fell in love with..."

"Enough, the sentimental drivel is making me feel sick," said Vegeta, "Let's move."

Chi-Chi grabbed Goku's hands, "Please... please be careful!"

Goku nodded and hugged Chi-Chi. "I will."

The group started to leave before Chi-Chi cried out. "Wait! You're taking my grandbaby with you to fight them?!"

Pan turned and scowled. "I'm a Super Saiyan 2, I can fight."

Chi-Chi looked stricken. "My Grandbaby is one of those monsters?!"

Pan frowned, recalling a memory. "Grandma, its not the power that's evil, its the person who uses it."

Chi-Chi stood there, at a loss for words. The group waited for a moment before taking to the air and flying off. Goku flew at the front, picking up speed. Pan gulped, she could feel anger radiating off Grandpa. This was one of the few times she had ever seen him seriously angry. It was not something she liked to see.

"Kakarot, what are you doing you fool?" demanded Vegeta.

Goku glanced back at him, looking annoyed. "Doing? I'm going to set this right!"

"Right? Kakarot you idiot! You are letting yourself get involved and attached with this timeplane's problems. The moment we destroy the source of the distortion, this timeplane ends. There is no setting this right!" yelled Vegeta.

Chronoa nodded. "He's right Goku."

Goku slowly came to a stop, a pained look on his face. "..."

"If you get invested into this, its going to destroy you Kakarot, that's obviously what that Towa woman wanted," warned Vegeta, "Now keep your power down and fly with the rest of us. I want to keep a low profile until we figure out how strong our counterparts here are."

Goku nodded and spoke quietly. "Alright Vegeta."

Pan flew behind the group as they moved. She felt awful, recognizing just what Vegeta had meant. No matter what they did, it would never fix what had happened here. All they could do was put a stop to it and stop things from getting worse by putting an end to this timeplane. Pan felt a tinge of righteous anger, how dare Towa, how dare she create this timeplane just to twist her family and make them suffer! That demoness would pay!

But wait a second...

"Somethings weird about this," said Pan, "We weren't more than a few minutes behind her and suddenly all of this happened? How'd she know what to change in the past that fast?"

"There is no past in these timeplanes," said Chronoa, "She's probably lived through the entire thing and choose that exact moment to interfere with."

"But... how did we suddenly get to now if she created this timeplane only a few minutes ago?" asked Pan.

Chronoa was silent for a minute. "I... don't actually know."

Pan rolled her eyes. This so called Supreme Kai of Time had absolutely no clue what was going on. She wouldn't be surprised if the Kai was guessing with half of this crap. That pissed her off, did these timeplanes even have to be actually destroyed? Was the kai one hundred percent certain of the danger they posed? The Kai was playing with the lives of countless people by ordering these timeplanes destroyed.

"I feel five powers off aways," said Goku.

Vegeta nodded. "One is me, one is you, I suspect the other three are Gohan, Nappa, and Raditz. Guess were lucky they are all together."

Pan pressed out her senses. "But... none of them really feel like dad."

"Pan, if this version of me did even half the things I think he did, then he's not going to," said Gohan, his voice weary, "I'm not looking forward to this."

"I doubt they'll be a challenge if what I'm sensing is right," said Vegeta dismissively.

Goku suddenly came to a stop, causing them all to nearly crash into him. "..."

"Grandpa?" asked Pan

Suddenly they felt it, the huge spiking of ki off in the distance. Two of the powers were... either fighting to the death or sparing very violently. The group began to descend to the ground and crossed the rest of the distance on foot. They were in a barren wasteland that looked like it had been destroyed over and over again. They did what they could to hide behind broken boulders as they slowly inched their way forward, step by step until finally, Pan saw them.

Standing with his arms crossed was a rather menacing looking Vegeta in armor with a blue cape. At his side was an old looking bald Saiyan with a mustache who also had his arms crossed. A few feet from them was a third saiyan in armor, this one had an absurd amount of hair on him. From what Pan remembered of the descriptions of the Saiyan invasion Grandpa and his friends had fought, the bald one was Nappa, and the hairy one was Raditz. But they weren't the most concerning ones out of the group...

Fighting in an area infront of them was another Grandpa who appeared to be a regular Super Saiyan, dressed in Saiyan armor, fighting him was... was... a sickening version of her father. Even being near him made Pan's stomach feel violently ill. The Super Saiyans Pan had fought on Terra, and Kojin, none of them compared to the raw 'evil' Pan felt emanating from her father's double. Pan had to clenched her fists tight to her body to stop herself from trembling as she gave him a once over.

Unlike the others, he wore no Saiyan armor. He had on a pure black gi with a red cloth wrapped around his middle. His hair was the same as her father's, but his face was heavily scarred. His eyes shone with a complete ruthlessness and malice as he rushed at the Other Son Goku.

"Come on 'Father'!" mocked the Other Gohan as he slammed a fist deep into the Other Goku's stomach.

The Other Goku gave a cry and fell to his knees, his hair turning black, blood leaking out of his mouth.

The Other Gohan walked over and smashed a fist into his face, knocking him to the ground. "Worthless and a disappointment as always. Are you ever going to ascend? I doubt it. I should have let Majin Buu kill you and save me the frustration of seeing your pitiful ass alive."

Gohan murmured with disbelief, peering around a boulder, "Look, he's not transformed but he has that power. He received the elder kai's gift, but, why would the kai give it to someone so evil?!"

Vegeta whispered back, "Help him or let Majin Buu run rampant, the kai probably choose what he thought was the lesser evil."

The Other Gohan stalked forward, a savage grin on his face before he grabbed the other Goku and held him in the air before looking to Vegeta. "So then, are we ever going to kill him? Or do we just keep him around as a punching bag? Doesn't really matter to me either way."

The Other Vegeta smirked. "Well that depends, will he beg today like always? If he does, he may live, as it is always so amusing, if not, you can kill him."

The Other Gohan threw the Other Goku to the ground and stomped on his back. "Well? Let's hear it 'old man'."

The Other Goku cried out in agony. "G-Gohan! Please stop!"

The Other Gohan sneered at him and kicked him away. "Pitiful as always. I really do wish Vegeta was my father in blood more than in name. Anyway, now that my 'visit' with father is over, perhaps I should go say 'hello' to mother? What do you think Vegeta? I ought go give her a slap before the next purge?"

The Other Vegeta smirked. "Do as you will."

Pan trembled in rage. The ground at her feet began to rumble. HOW! How could such a monstrous version of her father exist?!

"Pan!" hissed Gohan, "Keep yourself in control."

"But first!" called out the Other Vegeta, "Whomever is hiding being those boulders ought to reveal themselves lest I grow angry."

Pan winced as Gohan glared at her.

"Hmph," said Vegeta, "Don't be mad at your brat Gohan, its not like we need to hide."

The group strode out and stood a ways away from the group of Saiyans.

Nappa glanced back and forth between the Vegeta's. "Uh... are these some android lookalikes or something?"

"No you oaf," both Vegeta's shouted at him.

The two Vegeta's exchanged glances before Vegeta motioned to his counterpart, "By all means, he's 'your' advisor and bodyguard."

The Other Vegeta smirked at him with amusement before glancing at Nappa and scowling. "You can feel their ki you brainless buffoon. Their Kakarot and me feel almost exactly like we do. They are either clones, or us from another, strange timeline."

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised you're aware of timelines."

The Other Vegeta sneered at him. "Well when my half-breed brat came back in time and tried to kill me, I made it my business to know."

Vegeta frowned. "Trunks? Hmph, remembering my own future son, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised he had it in him to try and kill you."

The Other Vegeta grinned. "Try being the correct word. He ended up a bloodstain on my boot, as did the infant version of him in my time."

"Enough," growled Vegeta before turning to Chronoa. "Which one of them are the distortions?"

Chronoa held up her hand and energy rippled from her White Time Ring. A gray aura appeared briefly around Raditz and Nappa, much to their confusion. Pan was a little surprised, with how different her 'father' was, she would have thought he would be a distortion.

Vegeta nodded slowly. "As I thought. I'll deal with those two myself, the others aren't worth the effort."

The Other Gohan looked back at Raditz and Nappa for a moment. "Uncle and the idiot, you two are sitting this out."

Raditz looked displeased. "Excuse me Nephew? I am a Saiyan Warrior! I back down from no challenge!"

The Other Gohan glared at him, causing Raditz to suddenly back away with fear. "Unlike you brainless idiots, I have an idea of what they mean by distortion and why he wants to kill you two without fighting us. You two are not to fight unless absolutely necessary. Vegeta, keep them alive, I'll handle this."

Gohan crossed his arms. "Guess I still studied in this timeplane."

The Other Gohan turned started forward. "So, whose first to die? You can come all at once, or one by one, it doesn't matter to me."

"Hmph," said Vegeta, cracking his knuckles, "This won't even be a warmup..."

"Hold it Vegeta," said Goku, a serious tone in his voice.

Vegeta turned his head and scowled. "What is it Kakarot? I'm not interested in wasting time here when we could be pursuing Towa."

The Other Gohan stopped all the sudden, giving Goku a once over. "Well well well, was it just me or did I hear some spine in your voice 'dad'? I'm rather surprised, its such a foreign sound coming from you."

"I'll deal with you in a moment 'Gohan'," said Goku, anger in his voice, "But first, I have something to say to the other me."

The Other Gohan crossed his arms and began to tap his feet. "Make it quick, I have a sudden urge to kill you that I don't think I'll be able to suppress for much longer."

Goku burst into Super Saiyan 2 and bum rushed the Other Goku, picking him up and slamming him into the ground. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

Pan took a step back in surprise. She... she had never seen Grandpa so angry in all of her life...

"Chi-Chi told me what you did! You murdered innocent people because you were too much of a coward to fight Raditz!" yelled Goku.

The Other Goku said nothing, he merely averted his eyes, shame on his face.

The Other Gohan began to laugh. "Even another version of him knows how much of a waste of space he is. I almost don't want to kill him, he'd make such an improvement over the one on the ground."

Goku ignored the Other Gohan and glared down at the Other Goku. "I'm not stupid. The only way my friends would have let you murder innocents was over their dead bodies. You betrayed them, you betrayed everyone! You let Gohan be twisted into that THING over there! How could you? How could you be so spineless?"

"I... I had no choice... Raditz would have killed Gohan if I hadn't...," whispered the Other Goku weakly, "I did it for my family..."

"Your family?" said Goku in disbelief, "Your family would have rather died than see you fall like this. I would have, and DID die, rather than let Raditz win. Your true son would have rather died than be turned into that beast."

The Other Gohan spoke in a mocking tone, "I enjoy my life immensely I'll have you know. Slaughtering the heroic types you look to be is one of my favorite pastimes."

Goku lifted the Other Goku up and pointed towards Gohan and Pan. "That over there is the life you could have had, a good man as a son, and a wonderful granddaughter."

He then pointed to the Other Gohan and then the three Saiyans. "This instead is what you get, and what you deserve."

Goku cast him to the ground and turned his back, walking away and back over to stand a ways in front of the Other Gohan.

The Other Gohan crossed his arms and glanced at Pan. "I couldn't help but hear, that little wench is my child?"

Pan glared at him and then pointed towards her father. "I'm not YOUR child! I'm his! You're a mockery of everything you should be!"

The Other Gohan grinned and licked his lips. "You know kid, I've always wondered what it would feel like to kill my own family. I guess I'll be finding out soon enough."

Pan couldn't help but take a step back, struggling to control a wave of fear and nausea.

Goku glared at him. "And you Gohan, how could you let yourself..."

"Oh shut up," said the Other Gohan with distaste, "I had to hear enough of that the first time I went home to 'mother'. I couldn't hit her through the wall fast enough to shut her up."

Goku clenched his fists in anger. "You're sick and twisted. Of all the monsters I've encountered, there are VERY few who can come close to making my stomach turn as much as you do."

The Other Gohan bowed. "I'm flattered, and appreciate your approval."

"How many innocents Gohan? How many did you murder!" demanded Goku.

The Other Gohan righted himself and grinned savagely. "To be frank, I stopped keeping a tally after my twentieth purge. But that's in the past, I'd rather focus on the here and now. I think I'm going to enjoy this. Your power as a Super Saiyan 2 is impressive, I might work up a sweat."

"Gohan!" called out the Other Vegeta, "He'd holding back!"

The Other Gohan grew annoyed. "I'm aware, don't spoil my fun Vegeta."

The Other Gohan grinned at Goku. "You can go Super Saiyan 3, right? You want to warm up or shall we go full force from the start?"

"Feel free," said Goku, his voice ice.

"HAAAAAAAAAA!" roared Gohan, half crouching, clenching his arms.

Pan staggered back and fell onto her butt as energy ripped out of the Other Gohan and skyrocketed. Her eyes went wide with shock and horror as his power continued to climb. It was enormous, Pan couldn't even wrap her mind around it. His ki was so far higher than even her father and Grandpa's were when they sparred without god ki.

"Damn," swore Vegeta, "So THIS is what Gohan could have been if he devoted his life to fighting and training instead of his damn books."

Slowly, the Other Gohan's power leveled and he glanced at his counterpart. "Did I hear that right? Books? You actually let our harpy of a mother force you to become a scholar? Pitiful."

Gohan didn't reply, Pan looked up at him, noting a nervous bead of sweat roll down his face, her father whispered quietly, "Is that... my real potential? He doesn't even have access to god ki and he's that strong. It's unreal..."

Pan could only nod fearfully in agreement. There was only one reason she wasn't flipping out right now. While his ki was gigantic, she could still feel it. Which meant, he wasn't a god.

Goku narrowed his eyes. "I'll admit Gohan, I'm impressed. If I fought you as a Super Saiyan 3, you'd kill me easily."

The Other Gohan raised an eyebrow. "You so readily admit it, yet, you don't seem afraid. Is this the part where you start giving a speech about how you wont give up and you'll do whatever it takes to stop me?"

Goku slowly shook his head and then turned Super Saiyan Blue. "No, I'm just going to put an end to this."

The Other Gohan frowned, studying Goku. "Blue hair? No ki? Curious. What is this? Super Saiyan 4 or something?"

Goku didn't respond, he merely stood there, staring down his false son.

The Other Gohan unleashed a burst of ki at Goku who merely slapped it aside with ease.

The Other Gohan grinned wickedly. "Glorious. I haven't had a real challenge since Majin Buu!"

The Other Gohan took a step forward, as if to begin to charge, before he froze. Pan blinked, not even seeing a blur as Goku closed the distance and buried his fist into his false son's chest. Rather than crumple as Pan thought he would, The Other Gohan staggered back, wincing painfully. Suddenly, he burst forward and slammed a leg towards Goku. Goku blocked, and a shockwave erupted from him.

Goku frowned intently. "It's a good thing you don't have god ki, otherwise Beerus would probably be out of a job."

Goku struck three times. One to the face. One to the chest. And one kick to send the Other Gohan crashing to the ground. Pan was shocked to see the Other Gohan slowly pick himself back up. This was unreal, he wasn't a god, but he was still taking heavy hits from one and getting up.

The Other Gohan spit blood and wiped blood away from his mouth. "God ki eh? So you're what, a Super Saiyan God?"

"I am something you will never be," said Goku before he disappeared.

He reappeared and backhanded the Other Gohan to the ground. "I pity you Gohan. I pity that you never got the chance to live your real life because your father was such a coward."

"Shut, up!" hissed the Other Gohan, rising to his feet once more.

Goku knocked him to the ground again. "I'm not even going to suggest you trying to turn your life around. Scum like you would never take that second chance. If this timeplane wasn't going to end, so help me, I'd send you to the afterlife to get what you deserve!"

Pan gulped. "Grandpa is really, really mad..."

Vegeta scoffed. "I warned him not to get involved and attached to this timeplane's problem. He should have just let me kill Raditz and Nappa and end it, but no, he had to go get himself riled up. To be frank, I don't think he's mad at Gohan, more likely he's mad at himself."

"But, I'll show you one act of mercy, more than you probably ever gave anyone," said Goku to the Other Gohan.

He aimed his hand and shot out two blasts of ki that engulfed Raditz and Nappa before the Other Vegeta could react. The spots where they had been turned gray and began to spread rapidly, consuming the Other Vegeta. Goku cast his false son towards the oncoming end of time and flew back over to Chronoa who put up a time shield around them.

"So Kakarot, feel better?" mocked Vegeta.

Goku slowly shook his head, a discouraged look on his face. "No. Supreme Kai of Time, please take us out of here. I can't stand being here any longer."

Chronoa nodded quietly and held up her hand. Light eminated from her White Time Ring and in a flash, they were gone.
