The sky over Earth was sick.
Above West City, where blue skies once bathed the Capsule Corp towers in peace, now lingered something else—an invisible pressure, like time itself was holding its breath.
Inside the gravity chamber, Goku sat in silence.
He wasn't training.
He wasn't eating.
He was… listening.
The moment Broly's scream echoed across space, something inside Goku shifted—like a string in his soul had been pulled taut. Not by power, but by fate.
> "What's wrong?" Vegeta asked, arms crossed, sweat on his brow.
Goku opened his eyes. Calm, focused… but distant.
> "Broly's energy… it's not just changing," Goku murmured. "It's tearing something open."
Vegeta's face hardened. "That damn brute always was unstable. If he goes rogue again—"
> "It's not that."
"It's not just power anymore," Goku added. "It's like the universe is reacting… resisting."
Suddenly, a ripple in the air shimmered—and Whis appeared, his face uncharacteristically grim.
> "There's no time to explain," Whis said. "You must come to the Realm of the Kaioshin. Now."
Before Goku could question him, a second figure emerged from a blinding flash of divine energy—an old face, long thought irrelevant.
Supreme Kai of Universe 7.
But behind him… something else stepped forth. Cloaked in celestial mist. A Kai none of them had seen before.
> "Who are you?" Goku asked, standing slowly.
The new figure removed his hood.
His skin was pale, almost silver. His eyes… were completely black.
> "I am the Kai of Forgotten Time. My realm does not exist in your histories."
Goku's gaze narrowed. "And why are you here?"
> "To warn you… about him." The Kai turned his head toward the heavens. "The one who should not exist."
Back in deep space, Broly floated in silence.
The second Celestial Scout—once proud—now floated in his hand like a ragdoll, trembling. Broly's new aura didn't flare. It burned quietly, like a black sun.
> "You thought killing her would be funny."
"Now… you'll die without sound."
He crushed the being into nonexistence with a flick of his wrist.
But then—his body jerked.
The void behind him pulsed.
A whisper echoed through the crack in the multiverse.
> "Come… beast of wrath…"
Broly turned, slowly, confused… yet drawn.
Something was watching him.
Something older than time.
On Earth, Goku's breath hitched.
> "I felt it again."
Whis nodded. "Then the truth can no longer be hidden."
Vegeta growled. "What the hell is going on?"
And the Kai of Forgotten Time replied:
> "You are all pawns. This is no longer about mortals, or gods, or power."
He pointed toward the sky.
> "This is about Akios."
A cold silence fell.
And far beyond them… in the dark between stars…
A hand reached through the crack in space.
To be continued...
