KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Meru groaned as loud knocking came from his room door & knocked him from the wonderful dream he was having, ignoring it while rolling to have his back towards it.
'Ignore it, Meru. Just go back to beating the shit out of Vegeta & Goku.'
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
The person knocked once more, Meru slowly opening his eyes and staring at the wall in front of him while suppressing his energy as much as he could to see if they would go away.
A second later, the door was blasted from his hinges as Em walked into the room with a disgruntled frown, a cautious Bonyu & another rather tall being slowly following in after him as Meru glared at his fellow clone.
"I was sleeping."
"We are biological androids made to be the perfect beings in the world that have no need for sustenance or rest. You do not need sleep."
"It was mental exhaustion." Meru spoke with a sigh as he sat upright in his bed, stretching with a groan before slowly looking at the guy next to Bonyu, who noticed the android clone's stare & quickly saluted.
"My lord, I am Garana, former second-in-command under Commander Sorbet of the Third Stellar Region and currently second-in-command under Captain Bonyu!" The gorilla-like humanoid saluted, Meru simply looking at him & his mohawk hairdo before looking over to the smirking Em.
"I thought Sorbet had two other guys under his command? Uh…Sashimi and Toffee or something like that?"
"Shisami & Tagoma and yes, they died alongside him when Cooler attacked while Bonyu & Garana here escaped with the crew of this ship. Also, stop mispronouncing names to test people's reactions to them. It's starting to piss me off when I know you have a perfect memory inside that mind of yours."
"Aw~You can always fight me." Meru teased with a challenging grin, chuckling as Em simply stared at him while Bonyu & Garana glanced at each other nervously.
"We both know that a fight between us would destroy every planet nearby. Besides, I'd rather have you alive than dead. Now, get up and get dressed. I found a lead or should I say Bonyu here has."
"I-It was nothing." The red-skinned woman spoke with a shake of her head, blushing as Em chuckled & patted her on the shoulder.
"Take more pride, Bonyu. You found the planets for us when most of our intelligence specialist couldn't."
"Wait, you found Vampa & Cereal?" Meru asked, now wide awake and grinning as Em turned with a smirk & nodded.
"Yes, along with something else."
"What?" Meru asked before his eyes widened as Em's next words shocked him.
"We also found a planet called Shamo with a comet called Camori that is to impact it within the next few weeks."
"…Holy shit."
"Hel…Come in, Fr…Thi…Paragus…son Bro…on Pl…Vampa. Ple…rescue us…"
"Com…Saiyans…to Planet Camori…son Broly…are ca…this planet…Res…please."
"Four Saiyans, both fathers called Paragus and their sons called Broly. …Are we sure one isn't a dummy transmission?" Meru asked with a frown as he looked over to Em, who shook his head as he looked between the holograms of the two planets in front of him.
"We thought so too so I had Garana & his intelligence team run diagnostics on both transmissions over and over until I was 100% sure. These…these are two different transmissions from two different planets that were sent out at the exact same time and they were both made...by the same person." Em spoke with an excited smile, which Meru mirrored while the others just looked confused.
"W-What does that mean exactly, my lords?" Bonyu asked and Em grinned as Meru burst out in laughter.
"This means that either one of the two groups is a clone of the other, one of the groups is from an alternate timeline…"
"Or one is from the future. Hahahaha! Now, this is more like it."
"T-The future? Is…is that even possible?" Garana asked while looking at his crew, who all looked unsure while Em smirked as he gestured to Meru & himself.
"There's proof right in front of you. As you all know, Meru and I are two separate fission clones that were created by the original, or Prime as we call him, but what you don't know is that Prime himself is from the future or should I say, from an alternate future timeline."
"…What?" Bonyu asked softly, looking just as shocked as the rest of the crew as Em nodded while Meru smirked.
"Yes, but we're also from the present as Future Prime fused with Present Prime to make a whole new being that we now know as Prime. It's a bit hard to understand, but to make it simple, time travel or travelling to alternate timelines is indeed possible."
"W-Wait, even if all of this is…true, doesn't this have some adverse effect on the timeline or the timelines left behind?" Bonyu asked and Em smiled as he nodded.
"It does in a way as a new alternate timeline is created while the original timeline just goes on with its path despite having lost one of its members."
"…Okay, I need a strong drink." She muttered while sitting back in her chair, Garana nodding slowly in agreement while Em chuckled before turning as Meru spoke.
"What about Cereal?" He asked and Em nodded as he swiped his hand across the interface, Vampa & the planet Camo being replaced by another planet that was just a few sizes smaller than the first two.
"We found him, but our objective is not currently there so he's probably out & about."
"So, we ignore Objective B & go on with A1 & A2?" Meru asked as he looked up, Em nodding as he closed the interface.
"Yes, you will head over to Planet Camo to check out their Broly & Paragus while I head over to Vampa. Bonyu, while we're gone, I want you to go ahead and make me a roster of everyone in the ship as well as any allies that we might have that are still in the new Cooler Force."
"That's going to be hard to do when most of our staff is too busy making sure that we're not find by Cooler and his intelligence division." Bonyu spoke with a smile, a bit confused as Em chuckled while looking over to Meru.
"You ready?"
"Always. What planet?"
"The one we fought Goku on."
"Wait, what's hap-?!" Bonyu was cut off by a pop of air as a bright light shone through the windows, Em smirking at the shocked look on everyone's faces while Meru rolled his neck to get it loose.
"This is a scarcely populated planet with an atmosphere that can support life and fertile soil to grow produce if needed, so you all can make a base here and start on food production & stuff like that while we're gone. Meru, come on."
"Sure thing. Have fun, Bonyu." Meru greeted with a chuckle as he saw the woman still frozen in shock along with the crew, the two Bio-Androids leaving the cockpit & walking past the rest of the crew rushing around like headless chicken while making their way towards the loading docks.
"The locations have already been uploaded to the GPS systems, so just select your planet and you should get there easily. Just be careful as your planet is on the edge of Cooler's territory." Em warned with a frown, to which Meru snorted and nodded.
"Cooler isn't a threat to us, but sure, I'll keep on the lookout. Man, I just wish we could ask Prime if he's still busy or som-!" Meru stopped in his tracks with wide eyes as he felt a monstrous energy rushing past him, Em just as shocked as they both looked in the direction they were feeling the energy before slowly letting out shaky breaths as it disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared.
"W-Was…was that…?" Meru couldn't even finish his sentence as he was too busy trying to calm his racing heart, shocked & in awe at how drastically & more powerful Prime had become in just the few days that they have been gone.
"It was. We…well, I guess we better hurry on our objectives." Em spoke with a shaky smirk, Meru nodding as the two quickly rushed over to their spaceships before opening their hatch-doors, giving each a final look & nod before taking deep breaths as they walked into their miniaturized Frieza Ships.
'Guess we need to rush to make sure Prime's not disappointed in us not having finished Phase 2. Still, looks like Phase 1 was a success.'
"What? Is no one gonna answer?" I asked with a smirk as I stood in between the two groups, a bit surprised to see Dabura & his soldiers here and a little shocked to see the Z-Fighters about to face off against them.
Goku & Dabura were the only ones that seemed to be at ease with my abrupt appearance & Gohan too after seeing that his father didn't look worried, but I had to admit that I was surprised to sense that Goku was only slightly weaker than the Demon King and the Saiyan hybrid along with Vegeta were not too far behind.
'Man, that Zenkai Boost from our battle must have been something. Anyway, ignoring the hostility in the air, what do I look like now?' I thought with a hum and ignored the groups quickly jumping back as a ki clone appeared from thin air in between them, not as surprised to see myself having taken a new form as I was surprised to see what my form looked like.
'…Why do I look like Buu & Zamasu decided to fuse into one?' That wasn't even a joke as I genuinely did look like a weird mixture of those two villains.
While I had the light green skin & muscular build of Fused Zamasu, but my body was covered in just a pair of white Majin pants & my 'hair'/ tentacles were styled into base Zamasu's hairstyle with a pair of dark yellow Potara earrings attached to my light green pointy ears that were swaying in the light breeze.
'Right. Grand Supreme Kai & Cell fused into a being. Does that make me both of them or am I a completely new being? Man, and here I thought fusing with the other Cell was an existential crisis, but this is on a completely different level.' As I was in thought, I didn't even notice the danger approaching until it was right in front of me, time slowing down as I looked to the Z-Fighters to see a Destructo Disk flying towards me.
Reaching out, I was surprised as the thing shattered on my fingertips like glass, looking back at the group to see everyone staring in shock at a grinning Vegeta.
"Did that get your attention, inse-!" Before Vegeta could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back into his head as I disappeared & delivered a devastating kick to the back of his head, healing it at the same time & watching him fall face first onto the dirt before smiling as the Z Fighters all quickly leapt back.
"H-Hey, Cell. You don't hold any grudges, right buddy?" Krillin asked with a shaky grin whilst hiding behind #18, to which I snorted and gave him an amused look.
"Do you honestly believe I concern myself with the likes of you, Krillin?"
"I bet I could still cut you in half."
"Do you wish to try?" I asked as I heard his muttered words, the human paling considerably before I rolled my eyes as #18 moved to block him from my view.
"Already overprotective of your boyfriend, dear sister?"
"You are NOT my brother, bug."
"Never said I wanted to be, bitch." That sent her as well as the others reeling back in shock as I simply turned & deliberately showed my back to them.
"Don't worry. Goku knows I won't attack you and I only attacked the sleeping princess down there because he did it first. Now Goku, why don't you and the other nuisances go away and I'll talk with my new demon friend here?" I spoke before ignoring any response as I turned and walked towards Dabura, who was smirking as he waited.
"Uh, sure. Guys, touch hands." I ignored Goku's talking to the others as I stopped just a meter away from Dabura, waiting until the Saiyan had managed to teleport everyone away before I spoke.
"So, you're the Demon King? Dabura, right?" I began with a smile, a bit surprised at the fact that the I had to look down to look eye to eye with the Demon King before remembering how tall Super Buu was compared to Gohan.
Dabura on the other hand didn't appear to have noticed my contemplative stare as he chuckled, nodding with a smile whilst uncrossing his arms & signalling for his guards to be calm.
"That is I, yes. However, I am sad to say that I do not have the pleasure of knowing your name."
"Truthfully, I'm both Cell and Buu, so I don't know who exactly I am. When I get a name, I'll come back to tell you, but for now, Cell is more than fine." I answered, Dabura smirking as he nodded before we both looked at the guard approaching.
'Why does he kind of look like Mira from Xenoverse, except a lot younger...and with a gun? Damn, did Mira decide that shooting is more fun than fighting while I was gone?'
"Lord Dabura, we must return to the Demon Realm before the Supreme Kai & his attendants find out we're here."
"We have nothing to fear from Shin, Glorio, but you are right in us returning. If Shin detects us, there's no doubt he'll wake up his counterpart and then, we'll be in a heap of trouble."
"You mean Beerus?" I asked, smirking as everyone looked surprised to hear the name."
"You know of the God of Destruction?" Dabura asked in surprise and I smirked as I nodded while raising my hand, the Demon King shocked to see a flash of God Ki appearing on it.
"I have God Ki, so I can sense not only the Supreme Kai you spoke of but also where Beerus is. That and I also have the memories of Buu & anyone he's absorbed and since he has absorbed most of the Supreme Kais before he was sealed, I have all of their memories & power as well." That was not a lie as I could sense the Supreme Kai as well as Beerus & Whis, but I was also trying not to as I had felt the Destruction God's energy when I had finished my fusion & I wanted nothing to do with that.
To put it in comparison, I am a small puddle right now and Beerus is an entire planet made out of nothing but water. Yeah, that's how strong he was so I was not trying to attract that attention towards me.
Nope, let me first get a few centuries of training in and then, I'll worry about that later.
"Fascinating. Would you care to accompany me to the Demon Realm? I have this scientist there that I'm sure would just die to meet you. Actually, there are two that would love to meet you." He said with a thoughtful look and I hummed as I scanned over to where Meru & Em were heading towards what was probably their different objectives before smiling as I nodded.
"I would love to. Lead the way."
Destination has been reached. Welcome to Planet Vampa.
"It's a lot more…barren than I was expecting." Em muttered with a frown as he walked out of his spaceship, humming as he looked around at the numerous craters filled with some kind of green liquid scattered around him.
Stretching out his ki senses, he was surprised to find that nearly everything on this planet was nearly as powerful as Bonyu, looking around & scanning through them all before smirking as he finally found the two that he was looking for.
The first was definitely weaker than Bonyu and just slightly weaker than the average power on this planet, but the second one was what surprised him.
'Almost on the same level as Piccolo and he's only been fighting against beings that even Krillin could defeat with ease. I guess that's that Legendary Super Saiyan DNA for you.' Em thought with a smirk as he walked back to his spaceship, activating its aerial travel before taking off & flying to where he felt the two energies gathering.
It was not long before he found himself landing his spaceship in front of a cave, noting the rusted Attack Pod sitting off to the side & the decayed supply caches next to it before turning off his spaceship & walking out of it with a hum.
"Hmm, wonder if I should flex my energy to show I mean no harm?" Em muttered out loud as he felt the two energies now coming towards him before shaking his head as he relaxed himself & put his hands behind his back.
He didn't have to wait long as Broly was the first to enter, amused to see the confused head tilt from the muscular behemoth of a Saiyan before smiling softly as he saw the more cautious Paragus hiding behind his son.
'Okay, so they're definitely the Super variants. Then, what if that is also the Z-counterparts that Meru is going after? Was there an alteration to the timeline because of my presence inside of it? No, something like that would probably cause the Time Patrol to get involved. Then again...what if it's supposed to happen?'
"Who are you?!" Em blinked as he heard Paragus shouting at him, putting his thoughts to the side for now as he smiled & nodded at the cautious Saiyan.
"I am Em, currently the leader of the Frieza Force, or the Cooler Force as they are known as now. The name's not staying long as I will be taking back the Force from Cooler and renaming it so don't stress too much about it." He answered, smiling as he saw the cautiousness slowly giving away for a hint of hope to appear.
"A-Are you really?" He asked, a smile of gratitude appearing on his face as Em chuckled & nodded.
"I am indeed. My ship caught your distress signal and seeing as I'm in search of more fighters, I decided to come save you. However, I must admit that I did not expect there to be other Saiyans."
"Wait, there are others?" Broly asked and Em had to suppress his chuckle at the honest look of curiosity on the large Saiyan's face.
'Oh, the ladies on the ship are going to eat him alive.'
"There are, indeed. Now considering that you haven't tried to kill me on our first meeting, you're already doing far better than the other three. Now, what's say I take you back onto my ship for a night of rest & relaxation.
A/N: A quick chapter this week as this one was written last minute at the time that I wrote it!
Anyway, Prime is now on his way to the Demon Realm so a quick warning that most of the stuff I've already written took place before Daima's episode came out so treat it all as headcanon/ fanon, okay?
Also, reveal! What's going on when there are two Broly & two Paragus? Is it indeed time travel? Is there something about? Find out next time~!
And now, like always, you can go to my Pat-reon-.-com-/-KingCrimsonNova to read ahead on this as well as many other stories. If you want to, you are free to, but if you don't want, all's good as I will still be uploading here. This is just me trying to get some extra cash.
P.S. check out the new stories that have been posted on my Pat-Reon. They're a Naruto SI, a Bleach OOC and a DxD OOC so if that interests you on top of the early access to the aforementioned chapters, you know where to find it.
As always, read, enjoy, review and until next week...
Ba-Bye~!
