The sky of the future was the color of ash.
A pale grey of a world that had burned too long. The sun hung dim and distant, as it shines on ruins.
The time machine screamed as it emerged from the fracture in reality, metal groaning as temporal energy bled off its hull. Blue light erupted outward, then collapsed inward.
The machine sat in the cracked courtyard of what had once been Capsule Corporation.
Now it was a skeleton of steel and broken glass.
Wind howled through empty hallways. Ash drifted across the ground.
The hatch opened.
Trunks stepped out first, as he looked around.
Home.
Vegeta followed, boots crunching on broken concrete. His expression didn't change, but his jaw tightened a little.
Then I stepped out.
I didn't speak, as i looked at the ruins.
Then I simply looked up.
Because two figures floated high above the ruined courtyard, framed against the bleached sky.
One wore Goku's face, but with pink hair and eyes that glowed with divine cruelty.
The other wore green skin, white hair, and the calm smile of a priest convinced of his own holiness.
Goku Black.
And Zamasu.
They looked down at us like kings regarding insects.
Zamasu's voice carried easily, soft and reverent.
"Time travel," he said. "The gravest sin a mortal can commit. To defy divine order itself."
Goku Black's smile widened.
"For this crime," he continued, voice mocking, "you will be punished, for your actions"
He raised his hand. A sphere of godly energy formed, swirling with violet and crimson.
"Any last words."
The air trembled.
Trunks instinctively raised his sword.
Vegeta flared his ki.
But I lifted one hand calmly.
"HEY"
My voice echoed through the ruined courtyard.
As Goku Black and Zamasu looked at me.
I reached into my pocket.
And pulled out a capsule.
A simple Capsule Corp capsule.
"Remember this?"
I pressed the button.
And threw the capsule at the ground.
It burst in a flash of white light....
And a rice cooker appeared.
Old. Metal. Slightly dented.
With a piece of paper still taped to its side.
Goku Black's expression twisted into horror.
As he Yelled in Fear.
"NO, NOT THE JAR!" [this is a line king piccolo said when master roshi was about the mufuba for the first time in dragon ball]
He hurled a blast downward, divine energy roaring toward the rice cooker.
But I inhaled.
Held my breath.
And time stopped.
...
Everything froze.
The wind stopped.
The drifting ash hung motionless.
The Energy blast halted midair like painted streaks.
Trunks and Vegeta froze in mid-motion.
Goku Black and Zamasu hung immobile in the sky, expressions locked in surprise and wrath.
I stepped forward.
My footsteps echoed softly in a world without time.
I walked beneath the hovering gods.
Looked up at Goku Black's frozen face.
Pink hair. Goku's features. Divine arrogance.
'Round two, i hope i don't miss' I said to myself.
I lifted my hand.
'Mafuba.'
Green spiraling energy erupted from my palm, twisting upward like a dragon made of wind and light. It wrapped around Goku Black's frozen body, spinning faster and faster, ripping him free from the air.
He spiraled downward, compressed by ancient sealing magic, body contorting into a streak of divine energy.
I turned calmly.
Pointed at the open rice cooker.
The vortex slammed into it.
A flash.
A metallic clang.
Goku Black was inside.
I stepped forward and gently closed the lid.
Click.
Sealed.
Than i exhaled.
"ZA WORLD"
And time resumed.
...
Sound crashed back into existence.
The wind roared.
The half-fired blast Goku Black had launched slammed forward.
Only to be slapped aside by my open palm as if brushing away smoke.
The blast detonated harmlessly in the distance.
Zamasu stared.
The air where Goku Black had been was empty.
Then his gaze dropped.
To the rice cooker sitting on the ground.
His eye twitched.
"What… have you done?"
I tapped the lid.
"Recycleing your partner, i going to take him to Beerus to get easred"
....
I turned my head slightly.
"Vegeta. Can you handle him?"
Vegeta's grin spread slowly.
A savage, proud thing.
"I've waited long enough, to let some steam."
He vanished.
A shockwave tore the ground apart where he had stood.
Zamasu barely raised his arm in time before Vegeta's fist smashed into his face, sending him flying across the sky like a comet.
They crashed through ruined towers, smashing concrete and steel.
Zamasu recovered, summoning a blade of divine energy.
Vegeta met it with bare hands, gripping the glowing weapon, ki burning Red around him.
Saiyan God.
Their battle lit the ruined city like fireworks.
Meanwhile…
I put to the capsule case at my feet.
Opened it.
Seven Dragon Balls shimmered inside.
Trunks stood beside me, eyes wide.
"…do you think it will work?," he whispered.
I nodded.
"let's see"
Trunks looked toward the sky where his father battled.
"…Can we really fix this?"
I placed a hand on his shoulder.
"We're about to try."
....
I set the seven Dragon Balls in a circle on the cracked ground.
"hey Shenron, can you rise and give me wishs"
The sky darkened instantly.
Clouds spiraled.
Lightning crackled.
A roar rolled across the horizon.
From nothingness, Shenron emerged, coils of emerald and gold filling the sky.
His eyes glowed red.
His voice thundered.
"WHO HAS SUMMONED M....., what is it this time"
Trunks stared in awe. Even in his time, Shenron had never appeared in his world.
I stepped forward.
"I have 2 wishs, yes."
Shenron's massive head lowered.
"I WILL GRANT TWO WISHES. SPEAK."
I didn't hesitate.
"First wish: Undo all damage done by Goku Black and Zamasu. And that includes all lives lost and all destruction they caused."
The dragon's eyes flared.
Wind screamed.
Light burst outward.
Across the world, ruins reformed. Broken streets healed. Cracked earth mended. Collapsed cities rose back into shape.
People reappeared where none had stood.
Grass grew.
Trees bloomed.
The sky brightened from dead grey to living blue.
Trunks fell to his knees, overwhelmed.
"…It's… it's back…it's all back"
His world.
Shenron's voice rolled again.
"THE WISH IS GRANTED. SPEAK YOUR SECOND."
I smiled slightly.
"Tell me the location of New Namek."
Shenron's eyes glowed once more.
Coordinates burned into my mind, star paths, knowing of where that distant green world lay.
"I HAVE GRANTED YOUR WISH."
....
Shenron began to rise.
"FAREWELL."
The Dragon Balls lifted from the ground, glowing brightly.
I jumped upward, catching each one in sequence before they could scatter.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
They cooled in my hands, their glow fading.
Then...
They turned to stone.
As i put them back into the case.
....
Above us, a final explosion rang out.
Vegeta descended from the sky, aura burning.
Zamasu followed, bruised, torn, furious, as he quickly healed.
But then his eyes fell to the restored world.
To the sealed rice cooker at my feet.
As he see me lift the rice cooker and walk to the time machaine.
Zamasu clenched his fists.
Divine light poured from him, unstable now, his immortality making sure he doesn't die.
Vegeta kicks him away.....again.
