Millennia before Goku or his friends were even a thought Earth was merely a new born planet.
In those days the house of Ruka stood at the height of it's power no one dared cross it.
Emperor Ruka aided by his level headed brother Fujin the dragon of air, his cold hearted sister Eimi the dragon of water and peace loving sister Tsuchi the dragon of Earth.
Emperor Ruka ruled for many years maintaining peace between Earth Realm and Dragon Realm.
However a great evil meant to ruin everything Emperor Ruka and his siblings worked so hard for...
"Emperor Emperor!" A young boy with shaggy red hair ran into the royal bedroom and jumped on the bed and landed on Emperor Ruka.
"I told you to call me Dad, young man." Ruka chuckles lifting up his son
"What is it now Keiko?" The young dragons mother sits up, she was a raven haired beauty with dark chocolate eyes and a patient energy
"Emperor dad and mommy something bad is coming to Earth Realm." The young Keiko kicked his legs "Uncle Fujin requests Emperor dad to hurry to the throne room." He explains
"Just call me Dad, Keiko." Ruka hands his son to his mother standing. "Akari, sweetheart tend to our son while I see what my brother wants." Ruka was a tall man with shoulder length crimson hair and ocean blue eyes he was still in shape slowing down only slightly with age.
"Are you going to be a strong warrior like your father?" Akari holds up her son
"And a Emperor." Keiko playfully growls
Ruka smiles at the loving interaction between his beloved wife and son.
Instead of dressing completely Ruka made sure he had pants and his robe on before going down to throne room.
"Fujin what has you pulling out your hair now?" Ruka yawns
"A troublesome warlock." Fujin another tall dragon with a stern face and long white hair faces him
"Why is this a reason to have me woken up early on my day off?" Ruka stretches and yawns
"You gave up your days off when we elected you Emperor, brother." Fujin reminds him
"I am not amused." Ruka rolls his eyes
"Earth Realms warriors have stood no chance against this warlock." Fujin shares
"Even Wu Kong and his friends?" Ruka says reaching for the pitcher of water and a glass
"Sun Wu Kong was the one who sent the message." Fujin tells him
"Well I better get dressed." Ruka says before chugging the water and heading back up to his quarters to put on his armor
As Ruka dressed his Queen joined him.
"Ruka dear." Akari places her hand on his back
"Everything is fine, monkey girl." Ruka says pulling up his hair so it was out of his face
"I'm being filled with this horrible energy like we're all being watched." Akari tells him
"You know I'll make this idiot wish he was never born." Ruka chuckles turning to his Queen "Don't worry my love." Ruka held her face
"This man this warlock." Akari closes her eyes trying to see him.
Ruka patiently waits admiring his Queen Akari she was no warrior dragon but she was powerful Empath with telepathy, psychic abilities, ability to see the future in her dreams and her gut feelings were usually right no matter how much her Emperor husband didn't listen.
"Ruka!" Her eyes shot open
"What? What did you see?" Ruka asks sensing Akari's distress
"He knows you're coming." Akari's eyes filled with tears
"Good." Ruka says before kissing his Queen and heading out of his quarters and towards the exit of the castle.
"Daddy!"
Ruka turned to see his son Keiko running up to him.
Without hesitation Ruka picks up his only son.
"You haven't had to wear your armor since you became emperor." His son says
"You've been talking to your mother haven't you?" Ruka chuckles
"Don't go daddy I'm getting a really bad feeling." His son clings to him
"You're going to go grey before I do young man if you keep that attitude." Ruka kisses his son's forehead before setting him down
"I'll be back before dinner." Ruka waved to his son as he walked out.
Ruka made it to Earth Realm from Dragon Realm from the spot in front of his brother Fujin's house a castle like white brick mansion.
Ruka did not instantly transform into his truest form, he floated surveying the area.
When he was filled with a overwhelming dread like a million screams surrounded him.
This was what his Queen must have felt.
Following his emotions Emperor Ruka challenged this impending warlock.
"COME OUT USURPER!!!" Ruka bellows his voice reverberating across Earth Realm
Ruka was answered by the cries of his gentle sister Tsuchi.
"COWARD!!" Ruka roared transforming into his truest form finding his dear sister.
Tsuchi in her truest form busy throwing giant rocks at a grim figure with horns as twisted as his smile.
This man knocked away the rocks as if they were nothing.
"YOU HORRIBLE CREATURE!!"Ruka smashed the last rock his sister threw with his large claw catching this warlock in his clutches.
"Who are you?" The warlock ominously chuckles his cold red eyes trying to peer into Ruka's soul
"I have no patience for cancerous parasites like you." Ruka began crushing this warlock getting him to twitch and
"Don't play games with me you worm." The warlock snarls
"WWWWOOOOORRRRRMMMM?!!!!!" Ruka's eyes filled with flames and he seemed to grow in size before slamming his fist into the ground over and over and over and over breaking every bone in the warlocks body
"Oh shit." Tsuchi's eyes widened feeling the moisture in the air evaporating as immense heat began pouring from her little brother
"I WANT TO LAUGH BUT THERE'S NO JOKE!!!!" Ruka's mouth filled with the power of the sun
pressing the threat into the ground right before roasting him burning the warlock to a crisp before throwing him across Earth Realm where he crashed into the dark uninhabitabed waters hanging on by a thread.
The warlock opened his eyes to be greeted by a horrible monster just as big as the one he'd just encountered.
The monster whipped closer allowing the warlock to get a good look at its jagged wicked massive teeth.
The warlock lets out a scream flying out of the water and off Earth.
"We were successful Ruka." Tsuchi smiles reverting to her human form. She was petite with green hair like her scales
"Did you have any doubt?" Ruka laughs turning back into his human form
"It seems he ran into Eimi." Tsuchi smirks seeing a stream of light leaving Earth Realm
"Good." Ruka chuckles "She makes me shit myself too."
"Only because you cannot swim brother." Tsuchi teases
The brother and sister watched as Fujin created a wild tornado whirling the warlock off Earth.
Ruka laughs happily he and his siblings protected Earth Realm like always.

Present Day....as Goku and company went off with Merus to track down the Macareni siblings
"Midori-ko did you bring anything to eat? I didn't have dinner." Goku holds his stomach
"Well no Goku." Midori-ko says
"Oh." Goku pouts
"Just kidding." Midori-ko gets into her bag "I couldn't fit much in my bag but I brought you some keebler cookies." Midori-ko hands Goku a fresh pack of cookies
"Sweet." Goku quickly took the pack of cookies
"Here pass these to ..." Midori-ko pauses seeing Goku inhaling the pack of cookies and stands up instead and walks over to Vegeta "Here seaweed chips for the Prince that prefers salty over sweet." Midori-ko jokes
Vegeta simply nods to Midori-ko
"Jaco here I have some cheese sticks for you." Midori-ko walks up to him
"Why thank you." Jaco smiles
"Merus." Midori-ko turned and held out a Nature Valley granola bar "I'm sorry I don't know your dislikes and likes for food yet." Midori-ko smiles
"That's very thoughtful of you." Merus smiles
"I don't know about that, chalk it up to being married to a Saiyan and raising his sons you always have food on you unless you know where you're going has food." Midori-ko laughs going over to the driver "I know you can't take your eyes off the wheel but if you want here's some Jello cups."
"Goku your wife if I didn't know better I wouldn't believe she's a dragon." Merus tells Goku watching her take care of everyone on the ship
"Yeah." Goku burps "She's always taking care of everyone."
"Is she as powerful as her grandfather?" Merus asks Goku
"Dunno." Goku shrugs " But she's as strong as me." He smiles
"Was that enough food big stuff?" Midori-ko walks up
"What do you think?" Goku holds up the empty cookie container
"I know silly question." Midori-ko laughs "Here you can have whatever else is in my bag expect this." She hands Goku her bag making sure to snatch up her key lime pie yoplait yogurt "And this." She took out her chapstick
"I'm offended." Goku crosses his arms
"You would have eaten her chapstick?" Vegeta asks
"He's done it before." Midori-ko went back to her seat
"I'm trying to be surprised." Vegeta sniggers
"Shut up Vegeta." Goku narrows his eyes "Bulma said you used to eat soap and candles."
"She lies." Vegeta scoffs
"You and Bulma must have patience of a saint." Jaco giggles
"Something." Midori-ko nods "When we get back to Earth, Goku you need to have a conversation with your son." Midori-ko pokes Goku's arm.
"Gohan?" Goku asks
"No Goten." Midori-ko rolls her eyes opening her yogurt
"He's a clever kid I'm sure he'll work it out whatever it is." Goku smiles
"Goku he asked me about you know." Midori-ko says in a hushed voice
"You know what?" Goku found a pack of smashed zingers
"I swear to God you can very quick whitted and then sometimes you're a complete goof." Midori-ko shook her head working on her yogurt
"Wait... do you mean s.e.x?" Goku asks
"We can spell you clown." Vegeta smacks his forehead "Your oversized lizard wants you have the talk with Goten." Vegeta states
"Ohhhh." Goku's mouth drops open
"Don't eat my Vaseline." Midori-ko takes it out of Goku's hand before he had the chance
"I wasn't." Goku laughs
"I'm not taking that chance." Midori-ko tells him "And Vegeta is right, you already had the big talk with him but you need to have another with him about waiting for someone he loves." Midori-ko says
"Pfff fairytales." Vegeta scoffs
"I waited till I was with the person I loved." Goku smiles looking over at Midori-ko who was scraping the last bit of her yogurt out of the cup.
"You got conveniently lucky that's all." Vegeta rolls his eyes
"Sir are you sure these are the great warriors you wanted?" Jaco asks Merus
"Yes." Merus nods taking his time with the granola bar "I think they're delightful."
***
Neither Goku, Vegeta or Midori-ko had to try and assist Merus with obtaining the Macareni siblings.
Goku stopped the Macareni siblings ship however they wouldn't have gotten far.
Watching Merus battle was like watching a master chess player.
Back on the Galactic Patrol ship...
"A report?" Merus rushed over to the pilot hearing the incoming signal "From where?"
"A report?"
"From another squad."
"Kusaya squad was out scouting and they got a lock on Moro's location." The pilot reads the report
"Nice! About time." Goku smiles
"Passing through sector kt40...he didn't get as far as expected." Merus says also reading the report
"Which way is that?" Goku asks
"Like which direction? That way." Jaco points to the left of Goku
"Okay lemme do a search of my own." Goku grins
"What's that mean?" Jaco points at Goku
"He can sense the criminals energy if he knows where to look." Vegeta explains
"Shhhh." Midori-ko sushes them so Goku had quite
Goku searched and searched until he felt something overpoweringly dreadful and Goku was shook with fear while two sinister eyes seemed to taunt Goku.
"Ah ah." Goku shook
"What is it Kakarrot?" Vegeta asks
"Goku?" Midori-ko puts her hand on his shoulder
"Did you find Moro's chi? Let me try." Vegeta stepped forward
"Vegeta Don't!" Goku held out his hand "He could sense that I was searching for him!"
"What? How could that be?" Vegeta asks
"I don't know it's like nothing I've ever felt before." Goku looks down
Midori-ko just stared at Goku she never saw him look this worried before.
"To think he could do that.... well what else could you sense?" Vegeta asks "Was it a massive chi signature?"
"No, Not quite." Goku shook his head
"More like God chi then?" Vegeta scowls
"No his chi itself was that huge but it was terrifying I've never felt anything like it." Goku kept his eyes down "It was as if a whole lot of people were screaming in pain."
"Good Lord." Midori-ko hugs herself
"Yikes! What a spooky way to describe it Goku." Jaco yelps
"No Goku hit the nail on the head." Merus' face turned stern "Moro is known for absorbing the life force of planets and turning it into his own power in that sense his very energy is a mass of slaughtered souls." Merus explains
"What the?" Vegeta shudders
"That also explains why he's lived so long." Merus adds
"How many people has he killed?" Goku asks
"It's more like entire planets, far too many to count." Merus exhales
"He sounds like bad news."
