An ancient palace engraved with clock symbols.
On the throne, a petite figure jolted upright.
"Time-space turbulence?"
"And the coordinates… the Time Nest?"
"What on earth happened over there?"
A projection of the Time Nest slowly surfaced in the void.
"This…?" Shock flickered across the mysterious person's face.
"The Time Nest has changed this much?! Is that really the place I know?"
"Not only has the barrier been massively reinforced, even the environment has become more livable."
"But the real question is… where did this seemingly endless, region-filling divine power come from?"
The Time Nest's transformation was enviable, but the crisis unfolding before their eyes was even more alarming.
The entire region was wrapped in raging time-space turbulence.
Chaotic time laws tore at space itself. Countless temporal wormholes formed all around, and an unending rain of meteors crashed down, drowning the star sector.
Planets detonated one after another. Fire rained from the heavens.
Endless interstellar storms swept and ravaged everything, constantly battering the Time Nest's defensive barrier until it trembled violently.
"The barrier is still holding, but something even more terrifying is about to appear. Anyone capable of causing a disaster on this level is absolutely not to be underestimated!"
Before the words even finished, the mysterious person tore space open and vanished.
…
Above Conton City, more than a dozen Time Patrol members from different timelines had already gathered. The atmosphere was killingly tense.
"Hey, Kakarot. Do you know what's going on?" someone barked.
"You're asking the wrong guy, Vegeta. I just got back from a mission." Time Patroller Goku, with a Power Pole strapped to his back, wore a grim expression. "While we were gone… it feels like a lot happened in Conton City."
"Damn it!" Time Patroller Vegeta's brows twisted into a knot. "Still can't contact the Supreme Kai of Time?"
His gaze dropped below, to where Future Trunks stood beside Supreme Kai of Time's attendant, Mai, holding a communicator and shaking her head.
"No signal. It's probably being jammed by outside interference."
"Tch!" Vegeta clicked his tongue. "If the Supreme Kai of Time isn't here, we can't borrow Potara Fusion. Hey, Kakarot do you still remember the Fusion Dance steps?"
"Heh-heh. Like I'd forget."
Newly arrived, Future Trunks stared in disbelief. This version of his father had zero resistance to fusing!
Vegeta's sharp eyes swept over him, as if reading his thoughts.
"Hey, newbie. Can you do the Fusion Dance?"
"I… can."
"Good! Conton City doesn't feed freeloaders. Go find your fusion partner now!"
"Yes!"
A very domineering dad.
After meeting plenty of coworkers with familiar faces but wildly different personalities, Future Trunks wasn't surprised anymore.
He quickly found a Time Patroller Gohan with comparable power and prepared to fuse into Gohanks.
"Didn't think the day would come so soon… when I fight alongside everyone again…"
"TokiToki!"
"Toki Toki!" Seeing the bird fly from the Time Patrol's temple, Pan rushed forward and hugged it. "Do you know what happened?"
Toki Toki nodded, wings pointing toward the temple.
But then
The sky turned even darker.
A gigantic black rift ripped open the already unstable space.
An utterly monstrous evil aura erupted out!
Time Patroller Goku clenched his fist. "This energy… I've never felt it before. Another unknown enemy?"
Vegeta snorted. "Whoever it is, if they came here to cause trouble, they'll pay in blood!"
As that aura drew closer, an enormous hand like a sky-piercing pillar suddenly punched through the rift.
"So big! What kind of monster is that?!"
"One-on-one really won't cut it. This time we go all out!"
"Fu sion !"
" HA!"
Pairs of Time Patrollers executed the Fusion Dance in rapid succession. Light flashed again and again as multiple fused warriors were born.
Gogeta, Gotenks, Gokux, Vegex, Gohanks…
"Yosha!"
"Yosha!"
"Yosha…"
…
In the cold void of space, Levos carefully controlled the amount he siphoned, using Cell Max's terrifying mechanical computing power to analyze the Supreme Kai of Time's energy.
A moment later, the first results came in.
"The Supreme Kai of Time really is special… not only far stronger than ordinary Supreme Kais, but she also holds higher mysteries of life itself…"
He swung both hands. Ripples spread through space like waves.
Nearby ruptures in the universe began to knit back together, slowly healing.
At the same time
In Conton City, the fused fighters stood in formation, waiting.
Behind the massive hand, a body as huge as a mountain tried to squeeze out from the rift, radiating endless darkness.
"I smell delicious prey!" The monster's blood-red eyes gleamed with greed, its voice rumbling like thunder.
Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta transformed and surged forward first, fists and kicks raining down in golden streaks.
Everyone else unleashed their techniques too, energy beams weaving into a dazzling net.
But the monster merely swung its arm once blocking everything and blasted them all backward.
"Damn it! The gap is this big…?!"
"We can't give up. We have to stop it from coming out!"
SS4 Gogeta's crimson aura flared as he pushed into Full Power.
"Ultimate Kamehameha !"
Seeing this, the others immediately adjusted, gathering everything they had and firing together under Gogeta's lead.
"Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack !"
"Final Flash Big Bang !"
"TokiToki !"
All their beams twisted into one blinding lance of light that slammed straight toward the monster in the rift.
The monster opened its mouth and spat a dark energy wave carrying destruction itself.
Vmmm !
The moment the two collided, it was like a newborn sun ignited, flooding the space with brilliance.
Then the black wave pressed down inch by inch, swallowing the combined blast!
"Pfft!"
Full Power SS4 Gogeta coughed blood, his body swaying nearly dropping from the sky.
"Destruction energy…?! What is this thing? How can it be like this?!" He was furious, and more than that, stunned by power that far exceeded even a God of Destruction.
Just as everyone believed they were about to be consumed
A streak of gold flashed in front of them.
A dark-gold figure planted both palms against the black destruction wave, dozens of tail needles stabbing into it.
Glug… glug… glug…
The monster's energy wave compressed, shrank, and finally vanished into nothing.
"He is…?" Everyone stared, confused.
But Future Gohanks recognized that back instantly.
"Levos-sensei!"
Levos's eyes were cold and steady. He snapped his tail and a petite, unconscious figure flew out.
Toki Toki cried out and caught her by the collar with its claws.
"The Supreme Kai of Time!"
"What happened to her?!"
"No time to explain. Protect her." Levos spoke, releasing a healing aura that washed over the wounded, then he shot straight toward the rift toward the super-giant Ozotto.
BOOM BOOM BOOM !
Fist met fist.
Roars shook the heavens as Ozotto's massive body was hammered deep into the rift by Dark-Gold Cell Max.
The rift sealed shut behind them. Both figures vanished.
Outside, the cosmic storm gradually calmed.
The healing light faded. The warriors' injuries were gone, their stamina surging back.
Only Chronoa remained unconscious.
"So who the hell is that guy?" someone demanded.
All eyes swung to Future Gohanks.
