Disclaimer:- I own none of the dc or dbz characters

Some notes-

this story takes place just before the beginning of gt, so that the dbz characters in their base form are equal to their strongest counterparts during the majin buu saga (eg base goku = ssj3 buu saga goku)

this story will stem into an alternate universe so dont expect any gt character to make an appearance (although there will be some references)

the dc universe is new52 one so superman and diana are in a relationship

the new52 characters and feats will be used

as for the dbz characters, powerscaling will be used

enjoy

It was freezing cold outside. Of course it didn't matter to her, but she had to pretend as normal as any human. She didnt want any attention, not anymore, not after what happened 5 years ago. Those memories came rushing back to her, but she just shrugged her head in order to focus on her destination. Pulling, or at least pretending to, her coat closer to her body and keeping her head as low as possible, she quickly walked ahead carerful so as to not reach superhuman speeds unintentionally. Adjusting to the human world was tough, especially the first year. She would disguise herself as normally as possible, but it was tough, especially 'in the world of men'. The gift of beauty by Aphrodite was more of a bane these days, drawing looks from men of all ages wherever she went. But thankfully, nobody had recognized her, yet.

'Damn! Its taking forever to reach there!' she cursed in her head.

After five minutes of more walking, she finally reached her destination. THE GREAT SUPERMARKET the sign read.

'Whew, finally there ! Maybe I ought to get a car for myself' she thought. However for that she would have to cross two hurdles. First would be to have enough money in the account to buy a car, and the second would be to learn how to drive one.

30 MINUTES LATER..

'Mam, your total is 50 pounds' the counter-person said handing over her the bill. She did a crosscheck on the list of items in the bill and handed over the sum. She began to turn around to leave, then suddenly she heard an 'excuse me' from the counter and she turned back

'Correct me if I am wrong, but, aren't you the Wonder Woman'

'How come..' was the only thing she could mumble. She thought she was doing good with the disguise.

'Yes' she said. 'What do you want ?' her arms automatically crossed her chest, with a stern look on her perfect face.

The guy faltered a bit. 'What exactly have I done to piss her off ?!' he thought. He had heard tales about the iconic super-heroine, no man would dare cross her

'I mean, aren't you supposed to be part of the Justice League ?' he asked as politely as possible.

'I retired...'

DBZ DIMENSION

It was now or never, Goku was in the final few moments of his Super Saiyan 3 form, a form so powerful that he would have defeated kid buu with it, if not for the energy drain. But that was 20 years ago, years of training had taught him how to master that form, to stay in it without any drain of energy.

But his opponent too was powerful, and having destroyed earth and the northern quadrant a few years ago, he had set his eyes on the last challenge, Son Goku.

Goku closed his eyes for a brief moment, and began to feel the loss, the grief, ... the anger, of all the loved ones he had lost, how he could have prevented it all, how he had failed trillions of souls. His fists began clenching so tightly that his bones began to give in under the pressure, his arms bulged out so badly, that he might have tore a muscle or two. A tear rolled down his cheek, good, he had to let out all of his emotions for this.

"KAIOKEN X 100"

The strain was unimaginable ! He could feel the tiny muscle fibres of his body breaking apart slowly one by one, like steel cables. He knew that he had only a minute before ligthts out. But he had to focus his entire life's worth of training in his last move.

'For you Chichi, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, Pan...'

The long haired saiyan cupped his hands to the right of his body, and began channeling every last ounce of his ki, his life force into it. His golden aura mixed with lightning doubled as he prepared for his last move, tiny sparks forming in the cup of his palms, letting out all his anger ...
"SUPER KAMEHAMEHA... !"

The beam escaped at speeds far exceeding that of light, and hit its unprepared target..., Goku could feel the full impact of the Kamehameha as it struck, jolting him back a little. His opponent's cape began to tear apart, his mask slowly breaking and melting, the armour also giving in under the force of the signature move. But Goku knew the job wasn't done, he HAD to ensure that it was. Slowly garnering his final ki reserves, he leaned in forward, sticking his right clenched fist out and sped with a speed even he surprised himself with. The villain was still engulfed in the deadly wave, flailing his limbs in a desperate but vain effort to get out.

'Don't worry my friend, your suffering will be over soon !' Goku said sarcastically, smelling his victory with the smell of burning flesh.
"SUPER DRAGON FIST !"

Goku transferred his final reserves of ki into that. But he knew it was worth it, when he burst through his enemy. He saw that the evil threw his head back and opened his mouth loud to scream in a deafening pain, and that it would be over soon as he had said. What followed later was horrifying to any non saiyan, but to a saiyan it was a moment of pride, a moment to become the legend, to bask in its rays of its glory for the rest of his life. There emerged the golden dragon, resembling Shenron, roared its way out and upwards in the sky and then proceeded to coil around its helpless victim. Try as much as he could, one could not get out of the mighty grip of the dragon, and with one final deafening roar it came crashing down. The ground below shook terribly, too weak to hold against such a powerful attack. Then, when the shaking didnt stop he knew what happened, the planet was breaking apart from the sheer force.

Goku's concern was not the exploding planet, he had very long ago surpassed the durability to withstand it, but the lack of oxygen, the one thing that kept him from being what he trained to be - Uber. But even if he died now, it would'nt be too bad, he would be reunited with his family and friends once more. As the planet exploded, he flashbacked at his life, master roshi, Krillin, Bulma, Tien, Yamcha, then marrying Chichi, having Gohan, then came Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu, everytime he and his friends won, but this time they lost, he lost - all of them ! This time an enemy came that they couldn't best, even he had to push himself past his limits to be any match for him. Only if he hadn't made the mistake of... further thoughts ifs and buts were dashed when to his horror he saw the remains of the incinerated being regenerating, all the pieces coming back together to form the enemy back !

There he stood at 6'3", muscularly built, with glowing red eyes and that black armour with golden zigzag lines which had now become a symbol of fear across the universe. Even his red cape was now back to perfect.

'I'll give this to you' he said 'had I not the power of regeneration, that attack would have completely obliterated me. But apparently, I do. And now you are going to die at the hands of Imperiex. This imperfect universe shall be annihilated and a new one shall be established, one without any GOLDEN HAIRED FREAKS !' he cried.

Goku too weak to continue was now back to his base form. He took a long gulp of air and awaited the final finishing blow, kneeling and hanging his head low. Imperiex rushed at him and hit... nothing ! Thankfully, Instant Transmission saved the day.

DBZ OTHERWORLD

'People of the northern quadrant lend me your souls for I can finish this threat once and for all !' Goku pleaded with his hands held up high. The dead ones after seeing what had happened were skeptical, whether anything could defeat this Imperiex at all. But they had nothing to lose and a bit of persuasion by king Yemma and the deceased z fighters did the trick. The trillions who died as a result of the assault by Imperiex held their hands out willingly, donating a part of their spirits. He could feel it, so much positive energy ! The spirit bomb formed, the size of a skycraper and its positive energy encouraged him to go even further, even when all hope was lost.

"GOODLUCK GOKU!" Everyone cried as he ITed out of the otherworld...

Despite the bomb's power Goku knew that it wasn't over, this was just the northern quadrant, if he could generate the power of the whole universe ! And that meant 3 more quadrants. Telepathically he connected to the Supreme Kai 'Please I need your help ! Tell the entire remaining universe how to defeat Imperiex, fast !' And it was fast, within a few moments he felt the spirit bomb increasing. People across the universe would do literally anything to get rid of this threat, getting them to donating their spirits was not very hard to convince. Spirits given by free will came from every corner of the universe and the bombs power grew exponentially in magnitude. However, Goku's fear too grew exponentially in magnitude when he saw Imperiex standing in front of him.

'Another trick up your sleeve ?' Imperiex sneered.

Although Goku was afraid, he couldn't let go off the Spirit Bomb- the final hope of the universe, whose size rose by multiples of ten each passing second. Even Imperiex couldn't help but notice the power the great bomb wielded, its power was what drew him to his enemy, an enemy he knew was far greater than even the legendary hero of his dimension.

'WHA... !' Imperiex only managed to make this much sound, he needed to stop this bomb before it obliterated him again ! He charged a red beam from his eyes at the saiyan to finish him for good this time. Goku knew he had to fully finish the bomb before releasing it, and it was far from finished and the beam was nearing him...

But it never hit him as it was blocked by Gohan ! Goku saw his son with the halo ring smiling at him, instinctively he smiled back at him. From behind he heard a very distinguishable voice

'Oh Kakkarot ! You lazy ass! What are you waiting for, finish him off !' Vegeta taunted him as usual. But even this was welcome, if not for the spirit bomb, he would have hugged him tight and cried. He never said it to anyone, but after years of fighting side by side and sharing most of their adventures, Goku began treating Vegeta like a brother. The latter of course, had his reservations.

Piccolo was next, followed by Trunks, Goten, Pan and even Kriilin and the good Majin Buu. Of couse all with halo rings.

'Come on guys, lets buy Kakkarot some time. Only I get to beat him !' Vegeta said, and with that everyone reached their max forms and fired at the being called Imperiex. The attacks hurt like full powered blows to a human body, they stung, his armour broke in places revealing a blue suit inside, but it wasn,t enough to kill him, sure he was wounded bad, but not mortally. The assault lasted for a full minute before coming to a halt, soon the smoke cleared and he regenerated back to normal, laughing at how valiant the effort was , only to be hit square in the face by the fully charged Universal Spirit Bomb.

At first it felt nothing, then the heat and pain started, and grew, and grew, and grew, until it was unbearable ! Imperiex powered up to his maximum potential and still the pain kept coming, he could feel himself giving away to the attack, disintegrating into nothing...

(A MEMORY)

...

...

'Goodbye my love !' I kissed her passionately for a full minute, caressing her bare back and waist slowly. It was the most emotional moment in my life, the feel of her lips against mine, not even with Lana Lang had I felt like this. I wanted to never let her go, to repeat the events of last night we spent together.
But I had a responsibility, I couldn't run away from that. The thought of losing her forever, made me mad.

'Ow !' She cried in pain, and I realized that I was crushing her waist. 'Easy there.'

'Am I hurting you ?' I asked worriedly.

'Yes, you are !'

I immediately knew what she meant and it pained me too.
'But I have to do this !' My months of training would not go waste like that. I looked at her face one last time time and cursed myself at how I could take something as perfect as her for granted. The way her raven hair complimented her perfect face, those hypnotizing blue eyes, the now iconic golden tiara with the red star on it, the high cheekbones with a sharp long nose and those red lips ! I couldn't help but kiss her once more.

'Don't change the topic !' she said pulling herself away from me. 'We can be away from all this ! We can be happy together ! Just you and me !'

'Really ?! Do you think I WILL do that ?' I asked her sternly, more of a statement than question.

'Please don't do this to me.' Her voice started to break now. And I realized that although she had spent most of her life worshiping war, she like all of us was soft from inside. I pulled her close and landed a kiss on her forehead
'Now be brave, Diana. If you really love me, continue where I left. Defend the universe with the rest' I said, wiping a tear off her cheek with my thumb. Even my eyes were wet, but I couldn't afford to be soft, not at this point of time, not now.

'Please don't go' she said, holding my hand, as the sun came out and lit her pretty face. Good ! I needed the sun.

'I have to do this' was all I could mumble. Freeing from her grasp, I levitated, about to speed off.

'I don't understand ! Why is it always you ? Why always the hero ? Why risk your life for this pathetic world, and pathetic people ? Maybe this universe is imperfect and needs to be restored, you and I are the only perfect ones. Why are you doing this ? WHY ? WHY ? WHY ?' Diana continued to rant like a child.

I only smiled because I knew the answer too well. With the warmth of the sun in my face I replied ' Because I am...

...

...

...

The z fighters watched as Imperiex was consumed by the mighty universal spirit bomb, disintegrating him bit by bit. Then it happened, Goku sensed it, and was immediately informed by the supreme kai
'Goku, the blast from the spirit bomb combined with the energy from Imperiex has ripped open a hole in the Interdimensional Bridge. Get out as quick as you can !'

But he had other plans, the spirit bomb was still exploding, as if to ensure the complete annihilation of the evil in that being. Although he was pretty sure that the bomb would destroy the evil ( it worked on kid buu who had the same regenerating ability), he wanted to take no chances this time, even if it meant never seeing his universe ever again.

'Kakkarot, you fool ! Get out of there now !' screamed Vegeta, for the first time showing any true concern for his rival.

'Goodbye all of you, take care ! Until we meet again !' Goku cried to all of them with a smile and went ssj 3.
Ignoring all pleas, he flew towards the explosion and began moving the blast towards the rip. It was all too easy, as if the spirit bomb wanted this, as if it was sentient. Finally going in he once again flash-backed at all the major events he had accomplished and how he could finally now rest in piece because his and Vegeta's sons were...

Wait ! They were all dead ! He was the lone gaurdian of the universe ! And with him gone, evil would surely rise back up, it always does !

'NO WAIT !' Goku screamed as he began turning around to fly back...

But he was too late, the rift sucked him in, draining him of all the super saiyan powers. He was back to his black spiky hair, his shirt all torn, revealing his toned, athletic torso. He flung his arms and legs left-right in order to escape, but to no avail.

And then it was lights out... As Goku began fainting he mourned on how he failed truly this time, how he left his universe alone... and something else, just before he blacked out, he could have sworn that he saw another unconcious man about the same height and build as the Imperiex wearing a tattered blue suit with the same red cape as the enemy, but the most peculiar feature was a gold and red 'S' on his chest.

DC DIMENSION

It was sunset by the time Diana reached home, far from the nearest village, which was in turn was far from the nearest town. She had finally made up her mind on buying a car.

'Finally there. He must have been waiting for me like, forever' She thought hoping that he wasn't too mad at her. She took out the keys and unlocked the door.

'Honey! I am home !' She declared, bursting in. There was no sign of him.. her heart started racing... where could he have gone ! She in an anxiety began searching every nook and corner of the house. She was careful not to use any of her superpowers in case he noticed, a minute had passed and still he was nowhere to be found. Nearing tears she took out her mobile and began dialling to the police station. Then suddenly she heard a familiar voice from behind

'BOO.. ! Mommy !'

She turned around quickly to find her son, still in that 'BOO' position, hands held outwards, fingers spread and mouth circled in an 'o'. Kneeling below she hugged her son tightly, surprising him, and kissed him lovingly several times, dreading what if her worst fears would actually come true ! But he was their, his son, the very essence of her life and soul.

He could smell her lovely hair, which was one of his earliest memories and he realized that his mother was sobbing.

'Why are you crying mommy ! If this hurts you so much I will not do it again, but please don't cry .' He said, wiping one of her tears with his thumb, bringing back those memories from 5 years ago when she last saw her love.

'Mommy loves you so much, Honey !' Diana crooned holding him and rocking back and forth.

Later that night after dinner, they were on the porch outside. It was their daily routine, sitting outside and discussing school, work, and most importantly his father.

'He was a nice man.' she said for the umpteenth time. Frankly, the boy was bored of this description- what he always longed for was the details, how did he look, what did he do, where did he go ? His mother never answered these questions. But boredom was cut short when he sighted something

'Look mommy ! A shooting star ! Make a wish !'

Diana folded her hands and closed her eyes, more so not to disappoint her son than to make a wish, for she did not believe in that myth. But she did wish for his safety, well being and most importantly... a normal life.

But the 'shooting star' kept approaching, never slowing down. She reflexively stood up in defense, to protect her son. But it passed right above her head and landed into the forest behind, dragging several metres before coming to a halt.

'Wow, I'll be the first in my friends to see a shooting star from close !' exclaimed the boy and sped off.

'No wait !' Diana tried to grab him, but he shrugged off her hand and ran.

'That stubborn kid, much like his father.' She thought and followed him. They reached the place where it landed with the son a little ahead of the mother.

'Mommy, I think he needs help ' exclaimed her son, pointing to a man lying below.

He was all battered and bruised, scratches and wounds ran through the entire exposed torso. However, his hair seemed to have sustained no damage at all standing in perfect wild spikes. The man looked in his early-30s and was wearing orange trousers with boots, it was needless to say that he was topless. He slowly opened his eyes, they were battle weary, she would recognize that look anywhere.

Diana's first instinct was to help him, but then she remembered her promise to protect her son, no matter what. What if the person was an invader ? An alien come to harm this planet ? What if she nursed him, he would repay it by harming her or worse- her son... The mere thought of it made her shudder. She hardened herself, asked the gods for forgiveness and with one final decision turned around and walked back to her home.

'Mommy, this guy needs help !'

'He'll be fine honey. You don't wanna get late for dessert- apple pie !' Diana played her trump card. The boy was nuts for apple pie, and she hoped that he would let go off the topic.

'I don't want your apple pie ! You help him FIRST !'

It was enough, with one swoop she picked him up and carried him back, her amazonian heritage ensuring that he didn't escape her grip. But her son kept crying and kicking.

'We have to help him, mommy? WE HAVE TO HELP HIM !'

SO,

It is pretty much sure that Diana has become a recluse and she has a son, can anyone suggest his name ?

Can you guess who was it who said 'Because I am ...'

Some of you might have trouble with Imperiex being low-balled, but it will be explained in the subsequent chapters.

Who is this new 'shooting star' ? Will he get any help or will he just rot there ? Find out in the next chapter.
