Turles, back in the Dragon Ball Universe, was momentarily stunned as he watched Mai crawl out of the Time Machine. What's going on? Where's Trunks?
"You are..."
"You must be Mr. Turles, right?" Mai asked, her voice urgent. "Is Trunks in your timeline?"
Turles looked at the anxious Mai and shook his head. "Trunks? Here? He only came to my timeline last time because he made a mistake with the coordinates. Maybe he went to another timeline? Like the one he used to visit back in the day?"
Mai froze for a second, then gave Turles a quick bow. "Thank you, Mr. Turles, for everything you've done for our world. I have to go!"
She scrambled back into the Time Machine, and with a sharp zip, she vanished from Turles' sight.
Turles rubbed his chin, deep in thought. This plot feels way too familiar. Wait... Trunks missing, Mai asking for help... Holy crap, isn't this the Dragon Ball Heroes storyline? This is getting interesting.
On the other side of time, Mai traveled to the timeline Trunks had told her about—the main "Super" timeline. However, Trunks wasn't there either. Panic began to set in.
With the help of that timeline's Bulma, she managed to contact Son Goku and Vegeta, who were away training on the God of Destruction's Planet.
As the familiar events unfolded, the group chose to follow a mysterious scientist named Fu to the "Prison Planet" to search for the missing Saiyan.
The moment they stepped onto the Prison Planet, they were greeted by an eerie sight: the entire sky was crisscrossed with colossal, glowing chains.
"So this is the Prison Planet?"
Goku and Vegeta immediately began searching for Trunks' energy signature.
Suddenly, Vegeta stiffened. "This ki...?"
"Huh?" Goku turned his gaze toward the horizon.
They both sensed a familiar presence flying toward them at high speed. It wasn't just familiar—it was unmistakable. Because the person approaching was another Son Goku.
Whoosh!
The newcomer wore a red coat over a black martial arts Gi. He looked far more serious than the Goku they knew. He ignored the others, his eyes fixed squarely on Fu.
"Found you!" Xeno Goku said coldly.
"What? You're... me?" CC Goku asked, staring in confusion at his counterpart.
"Are you with him? Then I guess I'll have to take you down first!" Xeno Goku declared.
"HAAAA!"
Xeno Goku let out a roar, and a terrifying pressure exploded from his body. Golden flames erupted, reaching toward the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As violent shockwaves tore through the earth, the transformed Xeno Goku stood before CC Goku and Vegeta.
His upper body was covered in thick red fur, revealing powerful, defined muscles. His long black hair fell wildly over his shoulders, and his eyes were ringed with a fierce red outline.
Xeno Goku had transformed into a Super Saiyan 4.
"What incredible power! What kind of transformation is that?"
The Goku and Vegeta from the CC timeline were completely baffled by the primal appearance of Super Saiyan 4.
CC Goku's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I want in on this too! Ha!"
A brilliant blue aura erupted from his body. A divine, serene pressure flooded the area. CC Goku's hair, pupils, and eyebrows all turned a vibrant azure. He met the challenge with his own ultimate form: Super Saiyan Blue.
The battle ignited instantly.
The two Gokus collided in mid-air.
BOOM!
Their fists met with a world-shaking impact. The shockwaves rippled outward in visible waves, causing the massive chains in the sky to vibrate with a low, metallic hum.
I see.
Xeno Goku keenly noticed the vibration. However, he couldn't pass up the chance to test his strength against this unknown version of himself. He needed to confirm something.
Meanwhile, Fu had vanished from sight. He was currently tucked away in a high-tech control room, surrounded by monitors displaying every angle of the fight.
"This is perfect! Fight! Fight harder! This is exactly the kind of research data I need," Fu cackled, rubbing his hands together.
"Hehe! Not bad!"
The two Gokus shared a grin, both acknowledging the incredible power of the other.
As they traded blows across the sky, the intensity of their battle sent constant tremors through the planetary chains.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the shadows, Turles watched the spectacle with genuine curiosity. Tsk. Super Saiyan Blue vs. Super Saiyan 4. I wonder if this Xeno Goku knows Super Saiyan 5? Knowing AF Goku's personality, I doubt he'd keep that secret to himself.
Just as I thought!
Having confirmed what he needed to know, Xeno Goku roared, his aura expanding even further. He drew his hands back to his side, palms cupped together.
"Ka... me... ha... me..."
A brilliant blue sphere of energy began to condense between his palms.
CC Goku instantly caught onto his intent. "Me too!"
"Ka... me... ha... me..."
Blue energy flared in his hands as well.
"HAAA!"
"HAAA!"
BOOM!
The two blue Kamehameha waves collided, creating a cataclysmic explosion of energy. The raw power of the clash was so great that it actually managed to crack a link in one of the giant sky chains.
"Still not enough?"
Xeno Goku frowned. He had hoped the combined energy of their clash would be enough to shatter the space-time seal chains. It seemed they needed more power.
"Amazing! Simply amazing! More! Give me more energy!"
In the control room, Fu was dancing with glee, his eyes glued to the monitors.
Suddenly, Xeno Goku stopped fighting, leaving CC Goku confused.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm here to hunt down Fu," Xeno Goku explained. "He's a time criminal. I allowed myself to be trapped on this Prison Planet just to catch him, but it seems I've underestimated this place. Now I'm stuck here, too."
CC Goku's face fell. "Is that so? Looks like he played us too... So Fu really is a bad guy, huh?"
Deep beneath the surface of the Prison Planet, the violent energy from the two Gokus' battle had reached a hidden chamber.
Inside a massive, high-tech sealing device, a figure stirred.
"ROAARRR!"
A primal howl erupted from inside the machine. Suddenly, a wave of pure, unadulterated evil and terrifying ki exploded outward.
RUMBLE!
The containment unit and the massive iron seals binding it were shattered instantly by the raw force of the occupant's power. An aura of pure malice and destructive intent flooded the entire planet.
"What the...?"
The three Saiyans in the sky were nearly knocked back by the sudden, overwhelming pressure of this dark energy. It was unlike anything they had ever felt before.
