RETURN TO THE FUTURE
THE ZERO MORTALS PLAN
Trunks: You destroyed Zamasu?!
Whis: Yes, my lord did it with one shot.
Beerus: Now Zamasu can't capture Bardock and your future is saved from his tyranny.
Trunks: YOUR future is saved, mine isn't. When I used the time machine to stop the Androids, my timeline didn't change... That's how it works... Multiverse theory is a bitch..
Beerus: That may be the case when you ignorant mortals meddle with the laws of nature, but divine action is not so sloppy. And when I kill a god, it will affect all flows of time.
Bulma: You're positive this changes his timeline, too, Beerus? Cause if you're wrong, you're gonna hear it from me!
Beerus: Are you openly questioning a Destroyer's wisdom?
Bulma: I didn't say you're wrong. I said IF you are!
Y/N: If it didn't work, I'll take care of Zamasu myself, and free Bardock from his control!
Beerus: I'm afraid your dear grandfather would no longer be in that timeline, Zamasu has been destroyed, remember?!
Y/N: I'll believe it when I see it.If Beerus is wrong, and Bardock remains under Zamasu's control.. I...
Vegeta: You shouldn't take this matter too personally, you've known Bardock for what, a few months now?
Y/N: A few days or a few months, either way, he's family, and I refuse to leave family behind..
Bulma: Fine, but first, how about a meal? You'll need the strength for the journey ahead!
I sigh
Y/N: Fine.. but after that, we head right for Trunks' timeline!
Trunks nods
TIME SKIP
After a big meal, which with the combination of Father, Caulifla, Whis and Beerus, was gone decently quickly. We set up the time machine, and Bulma offered to join us.
Y/N: Is it all set, Bulma?
Bulma: Yeah, it is, come on!
All six of us squeeze into the machine, which was an even tighter squeeze, but we quickly set off for Trunks' timeline. After a few moments, we arrive, seemingly, nothing had changed in the slightest
Bulma: My god, it's awful...
Trunks: Nothing changed... I knew it! Beerus couldn't fix this! Not even an act of a god could make a difference!
Bulma: I hope Mai is okay..
Trunks landed the machine and we all hop out, Father falling right on his ass from dizziness.
Soldier: COMMANDER TRUNKS! YOU'VE RETURNED!
Trunks: Yeah, is everybody ok?
Soldier: Mai's not.
Trunks: WHAT?!
TIME SKIP
Our group runs through the abandoned subway
Soldier: She was hit really bad when fleeing the Masked Saiyan!
Trunks ran through several groups of refugees before finding Mai under a blanket
Trunks: She's dying... Quick! Goku! Senzu Bean!
Father reaches into his back pocket and pulls out the bag of Senzu Beans he remembered this time.
Trunks: She's too weak to chew it... I guess I gotta do this.
Trunks put the bean in his mouth and chewed it up enough before putting his lips to hers, feeding her the chewed bean. She soon swallowed it and she slowly woke up, much to everyone's shock
Mai: *weakly* T-trunks... I told them you'd be back...
Trunks embraced Mai in a hug
Trunks: You're okay! Thank god!
Y/N: We got here in time...
Goku: Whoa! What was that, Trunks? You put your mouth on hers, that's so weird!
All of us turned to Father
Vegeta: Kakarot, you've never kissed someone?
Goku: Huh? Of course not, why?
Vegeta: YOU'RE MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN!
Goku: Yeah, duh! But what does that have to do with kissing?
Y/N: D-dad, you've never kissed Mom?!
Goku: No? Should I have?
Vegeta: W-what?! Oh, no way!
Goku: Wait, no, tell me! Is that something people do?
Caulifla simply looked on, utterly dumbfounded by what she just heard. What she did take away from that is not that Goku hasn't kissed Chi-Chi, it's that Vegeta HAS kissed Bulma
Trunks: I'm sorry, Goku. We only have four Senzu beans left.
Goku: It's fine. We have to make them count.
Mai: B-bulma? You're so young.
Bulma: And you're so grown up! It's good to meet you, Mai!
Bulma ran her eyes up and down Mai, a subtle smirk on her face
Bulma: You got prettier.
Mai: Oh, stop. *giggles*
Bulma: I brought you guys more food and water, and other essentials nobody should live without.
Suddenly, I sensed it, it was Bardock and Zamasu
Y/N: It's Bardock! He's on his way!
Trunks: Mai.. please stay here with Mother. We'll handle this!
All of us left the abandoned subway and flew off toward Bardock and Zamasu's energy.
Vegeta: I told you we needed a plan and here we are
Y/N: My plan is to break Bardock's mask, after that, we bring him back to the refugee camp, let him recover, then kill Zamasu
Vegeta: First, bringing Bardock back to that camp would be stupid, nobody there trusts him! Second, Zamasu is immortal, in case you forgot
Y/N: I didn't. First, we have nowhere else to take Bardock. Second, I have a plan. I need to get close, but it's a plan.
We arrive at the location of Bardock and Zamasu, I notice something, Bardock's mask was repaired, somewhat, the repair was sloppy like it was done in a limited time, and it looked a lot weaker.
Zamasu: So, you've returned, dear Saiyans!
Y/N: Zamasu.
Zamasu: Welcome back. I do appreciate you returning so Bardock can become even stronger!
Vegeta: THIS WON'T BE A REPEAT OF OUR LAST FIGHT!
Vegeta powered up to Blue
Y/N: VEGETA! THE PLAN!
Bardock powers up to Rosé and the two clash fists for the moment
Zamasu: You'd love nothing more than to beat Bardock now since you lost to him so easily last time.
Vegeta: Shut up! I didn't come to this wasteland you created for myself! It's for my son! So this Earth can have a future!
Zamasu: That's not very Saiyan of you, prince!
Y/N: WE KNOW THE TRUTH! ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS YOU'VE DONE! WE KNOW YOU USED THE SUPER DRAGON BALLS TO OBTAIN IMMORTALITY AFTER KILLING GOWASU, USING HIS TIME RING TO CAPTURE BARDOCK!
Zamasu: Quite the detective, aren't you, hybrid?
I get into a fighting stance
Goku: Y/N.. like before... I know you need this fight...
Y/N: Only get involved if shit hits the fan.
Father nodded before flying back. Trunks knowing he too was not strong enough, followed Father, leaving Me, Caulifla, and Vegeta.
Y/N: Tell me this, Zamasu. In my time, I watched Beerus destroy you. How do you still live on!?
Zamasu: Old Beerus clearly doesn't understand the beauty of the Time Ring. When I wear it, it protects me from the changes in time! Not even what a god did in the past can affect me!
Y/N: That damn Time Ring! How did you kidnap Bardock then?
Zamasu: I am able to travel throughout my own lifetime, meaning anything that has happened while I've been alive is free game for my escapades. I felt the best way to combat the mighty Son Y/N, is with a familiar face like Bardock. Besides, despite the fact he is mortal, Bardock has a warrior's heart, the perfect one for me to use for my conquest!
I clench my fist
Y/N: Well, that won't work this time!
Zamasu flew to Bardock's side. The two of them formed an attack and then fused into one massive blast that hit all three of us. We all power up to our strongest forms, Vegeta and I turned Blue, and Caulifla turned Super Saiyan 3
Y/N: That was big. Caulifla, you good?
Caulifla: It'll take more than that to take me down!
Y/N: I've had enough of this! ZAMASU!
I fly off
Vegeta: DOLT! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HE'S IMMORTAL?!
Caulifla and Vegeta fly off behind me. I fly right at Bardock, powering up my fist to attempt to break Bardock's mask, but Zamasu steps in my way, he takes the punch instead but it doesn't faze him at all.
Y/N: YOU BASTARD! GIVE ME BACK MY GRANDFATHER!
I swing at Zamasu but deflected my punch. Bardock flies up and using an energy blade, swings at me, slashing me in the face, sending me flying back and I crash into a building
Caulifla: Y/N!
I crash into the building, my body already aching and blood running down my face
Caulifla: Y/N..
Suddenly, Father lands next to Caulifla
Goku: How about I take it from here? Trunks'll stay here with you
I nod my head as best as I could
BSG POV
Zamasu: To bring about the justice I desired, I needed an ally who would do everything I demanded without question and one who would strike fear in the hearts of the pesky mortals. Bardock has wreaked havoc across the Seventh Universe all his life, you Saiyans were nothing but brainless killers, selling whole planets for profit. With this mask, which I used the Super Dragon Balls a second time to create, it allows me to control Bardock's movements, his actions, and his very voice I can manipulate into my own, he's pretty much a second me, but with the face of your precious father, Son Goku.
Goku: We'll break him free! And your reign of terror will end, I promise you that!
Zamasu sighs in annoyance
Zamasu: My original plan was to use the Super Dragon Balls and take Y/N's body for my own, giving me his vast fighting potential. But I realized with the right partner, I'd have no need for his precious strength or his Ultra Instinct. After I made my wish for immortality and claimed Bardock as my own, I tracked down every Super Dragon Ball and destroyed them, one by one!
Goku: YOU DESTROYED THE SUPER DRAGON BALLS?!
Zamasu: Much more than that! We couldn't risk other gods getting involved, we went universe by universe, slaughtering every single Kai!
Caulifla: YOU MURDERED EVERY SUPREME KAI IN ALL 12 UNIVERSES?!
Zamasu: Indeed. That means in this timeline, the only gods that remain are the Grand Priest and that damned Grand Zeno, but they're too high and mighty to involve themselves in my affairs. I have all the power now! The destruction was unfortunate but necessary to achieve my virtuous Zero Mortals Plan
Caulifla: Zero Mortals Plan? Are you kidding me?
Vegeta: Obvious name. I guess we know what you want. What sort of world would you have if nobody is in it?!
Zamasu: A world of undisturbed beauty! Mortals are a foolish and ugly mistake that stains the majesty of the cosmos! By eliminating all mortal creatures we can restore its original splendor! And reclaim this perfect creation! We've already cleansed a great number of planets of their repulsive mortal blight! And now we've cleansed Earth! Your filthy kind is the worst of all! How many times have your conflicts nearly destroyed this planet and threatened to spread across the universe?! And since you've learned to defy time, you can spread your violence even further. Because you're the ugliest, we are sentencing you to the heaviest punishment! A despair and terror that befits your wicked crimes! AND NONE OF YOU WILL ESCAPE IT!
