(Kron-POV)
"I was wondering, that Trunks coming back here and with the other Trunks out there, searching for Demigra or any signs of that guys Ki signature… having our son trunks and his sister away, was the right call. Are you listening-" Bulma cut me off, looking down at the whole lot of Senzu beans she, Pyrrha, Blake and I were sorting into bags of twenty.
"-Here, take one of these up there and wake him up. It's early in the morning but having his strength restored would help us get some answers, to help him with whatever caused that to him. Did you get into contact with the Jaina from the future? She was someone that got along with him as well, seeing that they are from the future and that they sort of bonded, might be a good idea for my son to see another friendly face." Bulma sighed out, getting annoyed with the sorting, there was over one hundred give or take of Senzu beans here on the kitchen table that were to be sorted and she pushed over two of them for me to take up there. Blake added, pointing at the fridge that Bulma saved for Trunks.
"Take him a drink, though I wonder if we should have everyone else gather up. Trunks coming back here, another Trunks from 'another' time altogether, big things are happening again. As it always does around here, and I thought that the Grimm would one day be the big bad's of my life…" I grabbed both Senzu beans for a moment, my clones all except for the one who was watching over our kids, seemed he took them to Goku's place for a sleepover; domed capsule house aside… according to Blake who got off the phone with Chichi last night, eight hours prior.
"Alright, ring Jaina up then. She's got 'Instant Transmission',. she can get over here fast. As for making another meeting, I'll speak to him first. Could be something, or could be nothing that a lot of training here in this time could fix for him." I took the beans upstairs, pacing through the long white hallways, heading for Trunks; my sons room where Future Trunks was currently sleeping.
'Trunks… my son, I'll call this Trunks 'Future Trunks' and ah, 'Time Patroller' Trunks for the other one. Three of them…' I entered the room, seeing 'Future Trunks' still sleeping, though he was merely pretending as I entered, so I let my Ki waft out of me, subtly empowering to enshroud myself in a feint glow of Ki.
"...K-Kron, is that you-
"-Here lad, take these two Senzu beans. Eat one now, eat the other later on or save it." I threw the two of them at him, his eyes at first narrowed from the sun when I clicked a button for the room's curtains to be opened, blinding him slightly from the suns rays, looking to be a sunny day. 'Future Trunks' took both of them, catching them with some struggle, though he ended up scarfing one of them immediately, the effecting results from the consumed Senzu bean hit him fast, his eyes widened for a moment and he quickly got out of bed.
"Damn it." he was looking around for a moment, eyeing his sword there, his jacket over there… returning them both to his person and suiting up for a few seconds, he added.
"Thanks for that, though forgive my manners if I look at you with a certain amount of hostility… You just resemble Goku, as I shall inform you all- huh, it is just you-"
"-Yeah, I guess you want to explain this to everyone then. Figures… I will make some calls, make Bulma do the rest while you and I go train for the day. Save that Senzu bean there, you'll need it. Curious as I am about the why that you've returned to our time, even when I know you're from an alternate timeline… man, I've being learning about all this time stuff a lot since recent times has called for it. Anyway, if you see another Trunks, with a female Saiyan; both of them waring similar outfits and these badges… just ignore them. We're going to go see Tien, who has Uub with him. I want to see how far along that kid has gotten." 'Future Trunks' looked on, confused for a moment, right eye twitched while he muttered to himself.
(Beerus-POV)
"My Lord, seems I've a call incoming. Oh, it is Bulma." Whis and Beerus gazed at the orb of his stave, the orb glowing a green color that begun illuminating around it, then flickering slightly as Bulma's image was projected onto it.
"Heh, what is it now. I've just checked in on Frieza and Cooler, making sure that they stick to the script. You Earthlings and your Namekian friends shall be pleased that I've made sure that they haven't been planning another attack, to waste your lots of time with-"
"-N-Nothing much, though it looks like we're going to have another meeting for uh, what looks like to be another epic uh, problem of epic proportions. Kron wanted you both to attend, seems there will be food-"
"-Say no more, of course we shall attend this little meeting. A good meal and then my own training shall be more rewarding for it. What is it that has you lot scrambling to call on a destroyer so casually, I could have been in the process of fulfilling my quota… among other important tasks-" Whis chuckled, Beerus sending him a warning look to no effect.
"-Come now my lord. You'd decided on your day, for after training I was to make sure that your water was hot for your relaxing bath and then with a flick of my wrist, make sure your bed is up to your specifications to apply maximum relaxation-" Beerus coughed, turning to the image of Bulma, speaking over Whis as he 'fought' to retake control of this conversation.
"I, that is… Whis and I shall be there in an hour or so. Whis. The food there better be up to my delicate expectations and I do expect desert…" he warned, Bulma readily shaking her head, hurrying to hang up on him… the arrogance!
(Vegeta-POV)
Midday, and here he was yet again, on the lookout at the behest of that bastard Kron… though now that he and his wife were here, their kids had already been sent off to school so they needn't bring them, no kid was up here on the lookout… well, except for that kid Uub, that brat that Tien, Goku and Kron were all training up together, the reincarnation or so he understood, of their once-enemy Kid Buu. Vegeta kept his trap shut, since he locked eyes with that of his son… the one who came back from the future, to warn them of the androids, that boy had grown into an adult of such fearsome strength, yet had returned for some unexplained reason
The reasoning, he'd imagine, he would soon learn on the Lookout, with the rest of these clowns… He also kept his voice quiet for the presence of Lord Beerus, he and Whis were the only ones laying back and enjoying four-course meal, the table and sitting there while he; a king… hadn't even had gotten a chance to eat his own meal!
'Damned… I was about to sit down for my lunch when that idiot's wife, Tien rung up her mother… Raven, telling us of yet another sit down here on the Lookout.
Uub over there was currently being prodded by that bumbling pink Jello Majin Buu, standing over near Tien and Kron with the world's 'hero' and the 'strongest' of Earth, Hercules with him. He spotted Krillin and Eighteen there, with Seventeen and Sixteen standing nearby; the former smirking as he chatting to the latter. That idiot Yamcha yapping cheerfully with the clown, Goku there with Gohan and Vidal. Among their number, Piccolo had returned as well from Namek for this, the two shadow dragons now on their side, Nouva and Oceanus Shenron… looked at none in particular.
Chiaotzu, Pyrrha, Zangya, that Jaina from the future, Bulma, Weiss, Blake, Raditz, even the clown's legendary father Bardock showed up. Vegeta's own father not present, he did spot his brother there standing with Raditz, Mira, Towa and Dabura on the lookout as the Trunks from the future eyed Dabura with some hostility, torn between that and wariness.
Vegeta's brother Tarble regarded him a simple nod, a small smile and Vegeta shrugged at him, offering a simple nod while he eyed Yang for a moment, his daughter-in law standing off with those other females, also spotting Kibito the Kai among them standing there patiently, sweating a bit for Vegeta noted his wariness of Lord Beerus and Whis. That girl who joined Kron's harem as the latest lay… Cinder- what's her last name… the one who worked for Frieza as a pitiful soldier also stood off with the other females, looking around in a wild-eyed way… most likely in awe of the powerful people arrayed in one place.
The Galactic patrol sent their fellow teammate, Merus there with that bald alien fellow who knows Bulma… Whatever that shrimps name is stood wary of Lord Beerus too, most likely wary of a whole lot of them here too. Pikkon returned for this, somewhere on Earth he was; training like the rest of them as he stood there all stoically with a subtle gaze towards a few of those here, even Vegeta met his gaze.
Then the last three, though Vegeta was little the three of them offered at all in regard to help; even if they were stronger than Yamcha there. Recoome stood off to the side, eyeing his once-ally Kron for a little more than was appropriate, a glint of something alongside a hint of challenge lingered there, Vegeta could tell that much. The other two, the last two of the Heeter Force stood side by side with Recoome as much as possible, wary of 'everyone' on the lookout, Winter standing not that far from them but with that bald oaf Nappa and another Saiyan, acting as muscle for the business savvy Schnee of Sadala.
Last and annoyingly, Cumber stood over nearby while glaring around at the lot of them with red eyes, his head moving around in short turns to gaze at all those Vegeta reckoned this loose cannon would like to be in a fight with, annoyingly while not even regarding Vegeta himself! Besides all of them, Nail stood next to Dende and Mr. Popo; who looked at them all with curiosity, their precious Lookout and the Hyperbolic time chamber over yonder looked good to Vegeta about now…
"Three months, and yet we're all up here again. Let's get this done with, I've got my training to get back to. Hey Kron, I'll have you know now… you soon shall not be the only one who can reach 'Super Saiyan Five'… for I shall-" Goku looked at him, startled as he interrupted him, half-whining, half skeptical.
"-H-Hang on there Vegeta, you're not the only one there. For as you can see here…" Goku revealed a tail there, making Vegeta raise an eyebrow in astonishment, seeing the clown with one of them… this should be the first.
"I'll have you know I've been working on that 'Golden Ape' form out in space, far off from here and also 'Ultra Instinct', the 'Golden Ape' transformation going better along than that one. I figured I'll get them down pat, then I'll be able to use 'Super Saiyan Four' since I already know how it feels when we used the Potara-" Vegeta wasn't impressed… he was but he wouldn't let this clown know. Kakarot was interrupted when the 'Future Trunks' stood forwards while coughing slightly in a way to shut up the idiot, who now realized whom it was that interrupted, by that glint in his eye.
"-I hate to interrupt you're… interesting training exploits but I've got to tell you here and now, why you're all here. There are… some new faces among you, that I can tell and there are you who I know very well, or knew. Now I had no choice, I had to return to your time for it was there I and a lot of the survivors were attacked. The foe… looked like you Goku, perhaps closer in appearance to Kron here from his skin tone… uhm, yeah…" Trunks paused for a moment, thinking over carefully before he continued.
"...My timeline, everyone I know are dead. Killed by this guy and from what I've seen, he's someone running around in your body, Goku. For as you know, the why that I ended up in this alternate timeline back when I was warning you of the androids and Goku's heart virus, instead somehow I was sent into your timeline and like before I am here to warn you all of this… bastard. A bastard in your body Goku, your Ki felt… so wrong and this guy wielded it like a fitting glove."
"Hang on Trunks, a guy who as you've said, is in my body… could it be that Demigra guy. I mean, we know he has the ability to possess others bodies. For he's been running around in another Towa, that we know much. If he's gone to the past, to get my body instead…" Kakarot said with a thoughtful glance, adding.
"Trunks… did this guy, wearing my body say anything to you. About his origins? Most bad guys we've run into have done a lot of running their mouths about their origins to us, makes for a boring bit of time before the fighting begins." Trunks thought him over for a second, only a few for he was shaking his head right after, replying.
"Nothing so significant… just that us mortals; as he said with such hate… shall all be destroyed. He killed those close to me… including mother, all of have of her is the time machine and even that was low on fuel."
"Don't worry about it Trunks, I've got it on me and pretty soon I'll have figured out the formula to synthesize even more of that fuel that I've seen is almost out." the woman Bulma said hurriedly in order to stop Trunks mind from wandering, or so Vegeta thought.
"Time travel… and to think, there is another of you out there, running around though legality. You though, I see no indication of any sort of rank of the time patroller I've only just recently been able to know of through the other Trunks here. Normally as this universe destroyer, messing with the timeline would be an easy 'Hakai' ticket from me to the abuser… Now don't get me wrong lad, I'm only abstaining from erasing your time-meddling self since you're an ally of those here. I suppose you weren't able to ascertain that this being who attacked your Earth, had divine Ki did they." Trunks from the future looked confused by Lord Beerus first, though he shook his head, replying slowly.
"Uh, God Ki? Never felt something like that before… Or I don't think I would know it. This person, I only knew he had such power… and that he was wearing Goku like a glove and seemed able to access his full strength. I didn't hear names, much less this Demigra. Whoever he was, they came from the sky in a surge of energy, beginning his attack on me. I fought him… and failed.."
"I escaped here, there was nothing else I could have done to stop that monster… everyone else died and would have died, since I was the only one even capable of fighting him and 'fighting' is such a laymen term, for I was nothing to this guy… He would have killed me with ease, I'd had no choice but to warn you of his appearance and the fact he exists in my timeline. He could very well end up attack you all sometime in your timeline's future." Vegeta was not one to insult 'his' son here, for even Vegeta had to flee some battles in his past too.
No one said anything more for in a sudden burst of wind, a purple aura built up in the sky to the north, close by and quickly grew to a large size, discharging energy in a cone, cackling loudly. The distortion that formed, Vegeta realized was caused by the humanoid being now seen floating there, looking on them from on far, the whole group flickered towards the edge of the Lookout and observed this person, Vegeta quickly watching as Trunks seemed on edge from the person. Whis and Lord Beerus were the only ones who remained where they were, along with Cumber, Nouva, Dabura and Towa.
'This is him… and he looks like the clown… only edgy, like that prick Kron over there.' he eyed them both for a moment, sensing that the guy up there had a weird Ki signature, also divine from the feel of it… distorted but it did feel like Goku there.
(Kron-POV)
Another foe… and most likely brought about by my being here, I have no knowledge of this clown. But it didn't feel like Demigra nor did that purple distortion up there, that further formed from an inverted cone of chaotic energy now into a sphere of black purple energy, still discharging.
The 'Goku' over there floated slowly closer, looking down on us with such a judgmental gaze that made me immediately want to jump him, teach him with overwhelming power that he'd picked the wrong timeline to come invade. It was Goku who got up there first, when I flickered nearby to him and spoke.
"So you're wanting the fight with this arrogant idiot. Or did you want to use the 'Potara Fusion', deal with him quickly." I asked, though I didn't have either set of our two sets of those, Goku and Dabura still had them. Goku replied whilst peering with a serious gaze at the now smirking 'Goku'…
"No, allow me to fight him. Since he is wearing my body there." the figure spoke up, no longer gazing at Trunks with some sort of superiority to him, turning to me at first, confusion there but quickly replaced by his turning to Goku, responding as he flashed a cold grin.
"Ah Goku, that is… the Goku from this timeline. Here you are, here I am. You know I hate looking at your face, all so sure of yourself with powers and knowledge no mortal should have. And you flaunt it as if you're something special to behold. Well, I am here now and you know, I did have an interest in fighting against you within this body here. Goku, you may call me Goku… New and improved, without the idiotic soul therein but replaced by a superior being. Since I can tell you've tasted divinity in such repulsive form, I shall tell you that I am divine at its truest level." he glanced at the lookout, then at me floating near to Goku, adding.
"I see the coward Trunks down there, someone whose misuse of powers beyond his understanding or the divinity to even be allowed to use is down there… good. I'll finish him off and then finish up the rest of you all. I… do not recognize most of you below, what an interesting scene-"
"-Goku, hurry up with this fight. This guy likes to talk out his ass, a real letdown already." I provoked, which did wonders when 'Goku', who now I noticed the one Potara earring dangling on him, flashed me a murderous gaze, barring teeth.
'Right, here we go… another asshole to deal with, definitely not Demigra neither as he was much too interested in running from us and absorbing energy residue from our clashes. Demigra might show up, I should be ready to take him out'. I thought, Goku replying then, pointing his right hand's thumb at himself.
"I don't know who is in there or what you are supposed to be. But I'll be the one you'll fight now, you've made a mistake in thinking that you'd be allowed to come and do the same as Trunks said you've done in his time." Goku shouted near the end, his Ki flickered around him now bursting to full force near eclipsing that of the purple sphere-distortion there, the 'Goku' floating in front of him then smiled.
