A/N I don't usually make these before I start a story, but I doubt the summary will really be long enough to explain myself. One day I decided to write this story, and I took characters from every show, movie, book, and video game I've ever played and put them together. This story is now around 500,000 words... yeah, I'm having so much fun with it. So I know there will be characters people don't know, because I've taken from everything I know, but afterwards I'll put a list of the sources from where I got the characters from. I hope you enjoy the first chapter of Nexus, and here's a disclaimer... a very long disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Ben 10, Avatar the Last Airbender, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, DC Comics, Akame Ga Kill, Maximum Ride, Heroes, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Sword Art Online, X-Men, Teen Titans, or any other characters you see in here that I may have missed. Enjoy XD!

Chapter 1:

Pao Town

Gohan was walking down the dirt path of his home village. He had a full bucket of water in each hand held out to the sides as he walked back from the lake he got them from. As he walked down the street he admired the different dirt, wood, and clay buildings around him.

People used pretty much whatever they could find laying around to make their houses. Once it became almost certain that there was no escape, they chose to settle down in this nice area, at least the residents of Pao Town did. A young boy and his cousin were running around on the grassy front lawn of a house the fourteen year old was walking past. Gohan looked over at them and smiled at his friends.

Gwen stopped chasing Ben for a second to look over and wave at Gohan. The boy with long black spiky hair that fell behind his back almost to his waist was well known by everyone in the town. One of the reasons why, was that it wasn't a huge town, but he was also the son of the elected mayor which helped with his popularity.

"Hey Gohan how are you?" Gwen called out and walked towards the edge of their Grandpa Max's yard. Ben realized his cousin wasn't chasing him any longer and ran over after seeing Gohan as well.

"What's up bro?" He held out his hand to high five Gohan, but the teenage Saiyan just darted his eyes to the buckets in his hands to explain why he had to leave him hanging. "Oh, haha," Ben wiped his hand on the back of his head to play it off.

"You're such a doofus," Gwen muttered and shook her head in disappointment. The thirteen year old girl's orange hair was a few inches past shoulder length and she was about the same height as five foot three inches Gohan. Both of them were three inches taller than Ben who grumbled every time he was stuck with just the two of them.

"Where's Max?" Gohan asked as he looked up at the house and didn't see the man who was usually up there coming out to greet him.

Ben pointed down the street, "He's at your house for the meeting."

Gohan would have scratched the back of his head but instead he could only smile and laugh as he said, "Oh yeah, I did see him walking over there on my way out earlier. I was trying to avoid the meeting, looks like it's still going on though huh?"

"I wish they would involve me in this kind of thing," Ben muttered and crossed his arms.

The other two laughed at his immaturity and Gwen stated, "Maybe if you can beat Gohan in a fight they'll let you go." This just caused Ben to sigh in defeat and the other two to laugh even harder.

"Well, I'm going to get going," Gohan told his two friends and nodded to them goodbye as he continued to walk off.

Because of his Saiyan hearing he heard the younger boy whisper while he was walking away. "I wish I was as strong as Gohan though, the girls are all over him." The half-Saiyan grinned widely with a small blush on his face and kept walking with more confidence than before.

Gwen shook her head at her nerdy cousin. She thought about chasing back after him for the dweeb comment earlier, but decided there were better things to do. "I'm going out. When Grandpa comes back, tell him I headed over to the Strauss's."

"Can I come?" Ben asked quickly and then turned around fast, wishing he hadn't asked.

Gwen started giggling and held her hand over her mouth to stifle it. "Why do you want to come?"

"No reason!" Ben shouted too fast.

"Are you sure?" Gwen questioned, dragging out the last word. "You sure you don't want to come with me to see, Lisanna?" The black haired boy in a green shirt shook his head quickly and then ran away up to the house. "She's too old for you Ben!" Gwen reminded loudly. Besides, Gwen smirked and turned down the street, she's got someone else on her mind.

"Shut up loser!" Ben yelled back down from the house he ducked inside of.

Gwen fumed angrily, but she let the insult slide and spun on her heels, heading off to see her older friend. There weren't many people her age in the town, so she wound up being friends with a lot of older teenagers.

Meanwhile, Gohan had just reached the door to his own house and entered the small abode. He walked through the hallway and into the next room where a quiet three year old Goten was eating lunch with their mother.

ChiChi smiled at her eldest son and motioned with her head to the thin paper-doorway to the meeting room. "Your father asked me to send you in when you got here," she whispered to him.

Gohan placed down the water buckets and gave his brother a small smile before knocking on the door to the next room. "Oh Gohan? Come on in," his father recognized his presence and was trying to hold off on a few things until the boy got there.

Two years earlier...

Poof.

Goku stared ahead in shock and his mouth opened wide. "Ehhhh?!" He was just sitting down at his home in Otherworld eating some of King Kai's food when suddenly he disappeared. "But, I didn't use Instant Transmission?" He wondered if someone else teleported him here and looked around for the source.

"Wow that's weird," he started, "I don't feel anyone else on the planet. It sure looks like Earth though." He stared at the grassy field around him, looking over at the trees in a nearby forest and a lake a few miles down the plain.

Poof. "Huh?" Goku felt a human's ki appear and saw a figure emerge on the opposite side of the field he was on. Poof. Poof. Poof poof poof poof. The Saiyan with spiky black hair kept snapping his head in every direction as he felt strong powers emerging all over the place.

Someone appeared right in front of him and the teenager with messy black hair stared wide-eyed at the muscular person standing there. Goku was too distracted by a strong presence on what felt like the opposite side of the planet to be bothered by the child before him. However, when he tried putting two fingers to his head and using Instant Transmission, it didn't work. "That's weird," he stated and lifted off the ground, flying up in the air.

This must be virtual reality, Kirito thought while trying desperately to log out. He's flying. How did I get here? I was talking to Asuna, and then... He stared in awe as the floating man shot into the distance.

Goku felt Frieza's power get stronger and he felt a power disappear from next to the evil tyrant. "Frieza's dead though, so how is he here?" He reached up above his own head and was shocked to see he didn't have a halo over it anymore. "Wait, how am I alive?" The man would have thought about it longer, if a foot didn't slam him straight in the face and knock him out of the sky. "I recognize that power," he stated as he lifted up off his back and stared at the sky. "Cell," he muttered with distaste.

"Son Goku," the green creature reached up but there was no halo above his head. "I've returned," the bug android smirked, "and with your race's superior genes, I have become stronger than ever after my defeat."

"Looks like Vegeta can handle Frieza," Goku stated with a scratch of his chin, completely ignoring a pissed off Cell. "Wonder who all those other people are though, I don't recognize them and a bunch are pretty strong."

"Rrraaaa!" Cell charged forward and started punching and kicking at the infuriating Saiyan. The endless barrage continued for a few seconds while Goku simply leaned left and right or lifted up a hand to stop the limb from hitting him. Cell might have powered up, but Goku never stopped training in Otherworld either. He long since surpassed Pikkon, and Pikkon defeated Cell in one hit.

"Are you sure you've gotten stronger? Because it sure doesn't feel like it," Goku teased. That was the last straw and the monster pulled in his arms, roaring loudly and causing the ground to start shaking apart. Goku saw someone down below him that was flying in front of Cell and his eyes widened.

"You bastard!" Shiki the Golden Lion was flying through the air and he swore he just saw the Pirate King on the other side of this huge field. His worst enemy was straight ahead, and all he had to do...

"Got you," Goku grabbed the funny-looking man in midair and tried teleporting them away since Cell's huge energy blast was on its way. "Crapbaskets!" He forgot his special teleportation move wasn't working and he got hit completely unprotected on the back since he turned to protect the strange man he grabbed.

He slammed down into the ground where the person he saved removed himself from Goku's grip. Shiki wiped himself down and looked at the crazy man who dared to tackle him out of the air. The blonde haired pirate who had two swords for legs and a pirate ship wheel sticking out of his head lifted his arms. Suddenly the ground beneath them shook even worse than when Cell powered up.

When the blast was about to hit, Goku protected the pirate with him, but the man thought he was getting attacked since it all happened so fast. Both Cell and Goku looked around in surprise as the ground ripped apart and six huge lion heads made of dirt pulled out of the ground. Shiki was laughing as he brought his arms down and the lions with him.

Poofpoofpopopoofpopoopppoofpooffpoofpoof, The muscular Saiyan warrior smirked as he felt hundreds of more powerful people emerging on the planet. Even while the huge dirt lions were descending on him, he could feel them all appearing and there were many strong fighters, much stronger than either of the two he was with now. Goku held his arms out to the side and clenched his fists, sending out a wave of energy so large that the dirt lions shattered and flew backwards from the force. Shiki would have been thrown back too, but a certain bug monster flew down to the man who dared try to attack him and grabbed the Golden Lion by the throat.

"Uggh, ack," Shiki tried kicking up with his sharpened blades that replaced his legs, but Cell just clenched his fist and snapped Shiki's neck. Goku's head snapped back and he watched as Cell dropped the dead human on the ground and chuckled.

"Cell!" Goku yelled and his hair turned gold and spiky. The bug creature only had a second to look up before a fist coated in gold aura slammed into him and slammed him into the ground. Oddly, the crater that appeared in the ground wasn't very large despite Goku's powerful hit. "You should have just stayed dead," the Saiyan warrior never enjoyed killing, but Cell was someone who couldn't be redeemed, no matter how hard he could try.

"I'll kill everyone on this planet Son Goku," the bio-engineered creature roared, only confirming Goku's mindset that he had to kill this creature. Before he could though, he heard a loud scream behind Cell and felt another power appear around the same time.

"CELL!" the monster was turning its head and his eyes opened wide as he saw a blinding golden light flying straight at him. Son Gohan, the twelve year old half-Saiyan, had not been training very hard over the last two years since he defeated Cell, however, seeing the monster that killed his father and so many people, alive and breathing, it pushed him over the edge. His aura erupted and he shot forward with lightning speed, smashing both of his fists into Cell's side when the creature wasn't fully turned yet.

"Gohan?" Goku called to his son as Cell flew past him and dug a trench in the ground miles back. The half-Saiyan boy was ready to chase after Cell, but at the sound of this familiar voice, he froze and slowly turned his head to see his father standing there.

"Dad?" Gohan whispered and the short twelve year old lost his Super Saiyan aura. His father didn't have a halo over his head and the boy's eyes sparkled as his dad gave him a small wave. "DAD!" he sprinted forward and dove into his father, giving him a huge hug.

Goku patted his son on the head and said, "It's great to see you again Gohan." He looked the other way to where the ground was shaking pretty badly and Cell was rising out of a hole in the floor. "I hope you've been practicing son," Goku said and the two of them both looked over to Cell, "You want to help me take him down?"

All this time we haven't seen each other, Gohan thought with a light shake of his head and a chuckle, and the first thing he wants to do is fight. The boy's hair turned gold and he glared at Cell again and lightning crackled around the father-son duo. Guess it can't be helped with Cell here, the monster powered up and lightning crackled around him too.

All the other people who appeared on the field and in the outlying forest stared in terror, shock, or awe as the three massive powers met in the middle and clashed. "This is insane," Kirito whispered and turned around, running a few steps before a huge gust of wind hit him and made him tumble across the ground.

A figure flew down out of the sky and landed behind where Kirito was rolling. She grabbed him under the armpits and lifted the boy up. He looked back over his shoulders and saw a young girl of maybe eight years old smiling down at his face. She had short blonde hair, and two huge white wings behind her that spread out and lifted him up. "My name's Angel," she told him while she flew over a forest with incredible speed. "I'll get you away from here, it's dangerous."

The boy looked around and saw five other people with large different colored wings flying in a pattern around him. Most of the wings were light colored, but one boy around his age of sixteen had large black wings and looked more muscular than the rest. Each of the flying creatures had another person in their arms and were helping them to escape from the field that was quickly becoming a battlefield.

"Hey Max!" The young girl called over to her leader and oldest member of the group. "Down there looks pretty safe doesn't it?" she pointed down, and right as she did, the entire coast of the lake she was pointing at froze over.

"What the..." Kirito began and then watched as fifty spears of ice flew out from behind some trees and towards the other area full of ice. A huge ice wall rose up in the center of the area to block all the spears. A woman with long blue hair flipped up in the air over it and snapped her fingers in front of her, causing one large spear of ice to fly down and into the forest where the other smaller spears came from.

Gray Fullbuster dove out of the tree he was hiding behind right as the large spear crashed straight through it. He held up his arms and a huge tiger made of ice appeared, "Ice Make, Tiger!" the beast flew forwards at the woman, but General Esdeath simply spun out of its reach and snapped her fingers again to continue attacking.

While she was attacking, her ice was spreading out into the nearby forest where a group of people were clustered and it froze them over. A tall man had just appeared in the trees nearby and he watched as they screamed and were covered in ice. Former Admiral Aokigi, or Kuzan, jumped a hundred feet in the air and saw the maniacal woman who was laughing and about to kill the other ice user whose legs she had encased in ice. The tall man dropped down on shore between the two of them and kicked down so hard on the ground that the ice around Gray's feet broke apart and released the teen before he could get completely covered.

"And who the hell are you?!" the boy shouted while removing his shirt and throwing it to the side.

Kuzan glared at the woman with blue hair who was smiling like a maniac and she screamed, "All these people are just lining up to be slaughtered!" she held out her arms and ice started spreading towards Aokigi very fast.

"Move out of the way!" Gray yelled at the guy who saved him, while running away himself. He looked back to see the man wasn't moving, but instead lifted his arms and breathing out a visible breath of air. Aokigi slammed his hands on the ground and his arms became covered in ice, merging with the ground and spreading a mile in either direction of him.

The angels up in the air watched as the ice spread towards the crazy and stunned woman faster than she could comprehend and then it overtook her and reached the edge of the lake. It kept expanding across the entire lake so that the whole surface of the water was covered. The ice continued slowly spreading up the shores and towards the tree line, but any person around the coast noticed that the ice stopped right before it hit them. "Ice Age," the tall man whispered as he kicked off the ground and flew forward, punching the frozen form of the blue haired demon, Esdeath, and shattering her.

"What's going on here?" Gray wondered out loud and looked up to see a large bald muscular man flying around shooting balls of light out of his hands. One of the balls slammed into a girl with dark skin and long white wings, sending her and the person in her arms spiraling down towards the ground.

"Nudge!" Max yelled and soared down towards her flock member who was falling fast towards the icy surface below.

"You bastard!" Fang roared and shot forwards, dropping the person in his arms so that he could punch the bald man in the face. He might have been the strongest in the flock, but Nappa didn't even flinch as the fist hit him in the face.

"So you want to play?" the man laughed and punched Fang so hard in the gut that his fist flew through the teen with black wings and out the other side.

The other three angels up in the air gasped and stared in horror as their friend fell out of the air. The blind angel Iggy couldn't see, but he knew what that crunch meant and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone else escape, I'll hold him here!" He tossed his screaming passenger up in the air and then flew towards the muscular man who met him halfway and swatted his hand through the air, snapping Iggy's neck with ease.

Angel started to cry and she wanted to rush ahead to avenge her friends. The teenager in her arms though grabbed her around the stomach and looked her in the eyes while she floated there. Kirito didn't know what was going on, but he knew this, "They died to give you time to escape! Don't make their deaths be in vain!"

"Everyone scatter!" Max yelled as she lifted up Nudge and put the burnt, but barely breathing girl over her shoulder, staggering away with her down into the forest the black girl crashed down next to.

Gazzy looked over at his younger sister and shouted that she had to go. He looked up and caught the person that Iggy threw up, then flew away with both of his passengers. Angel had tears flowing out of her eyes but she held onto Kirito and flew a different direction than her brother, yelling out a promise to meet up later.

A huge crack was heard and everyone looked down to see the ground breaking apart and the ice covering the lake ripped apart and crashed into the air as a huge water dragon emerged and twisted in midair. Nappa looked down and saw a better challenge than the angels he'd been slaughtering. He flew down into the mouth of the dragon and saw a man below with a large wide sword making hand signs that seemed to be controlling the dragon.

"Good job," Kuzan said to the man with the long sword who'd told him they could help each other. Zabuza had a white mask covering the bottom half of his face and wondered why he wasn't dead anymore. He'd finally gotten to rest peacefully, but now he was alive again and didn't want to waste this life. He knew the flying bald man was more powerful than he could handle on his own, and he saw how strong this particular ice-user was.

The former admiral of the Marines wondered what the man was planning on doing that he needed his help with, but once it happened he figured it out instantly. A long thin spear of ice shot out towards the water dragon right as Nappa flew down into it. The bald Saiyan warrior crashed into the dragon and the thing didn't break apart right as he got in; Zabuza was keeping it together with his chakra. The flying man was about to power up and try scattering all the water, when he felt very cold, and then much colder as the ice engulfed his entire body in the matter of half a second.

"Now!" Kuzan yelled and Zabuza jumped up, swinging his huge sword at the frozen dragon and shattering the beast as well as the frozen bald Saiyan inside.

People all around the shore were staring in awe, but once the menace was defeated, they cheered for the two who saved them. Batman was watching from a tree branch and was amazed by everything he saw, but this wasn't the only battle he'd run into after arriving in this strange place. There were monsters and powerful people everywhere, the likes of which he'd never seen, but he had a job to protect the people.

He jumped out of his tree and started running across the ground and through the forest for a few minutes until he reached a clearing where a man with black hair in a large spike over his head was laughing up in the air. Batman watched as Vegeta used one arm to block all of Frieza's attacks and then smack the tyrant down into the ground. Frieza was fully powered and even buffed up, but Vegeta was batting him away without even turning into a Super Saiyan.

"You kept me as your servant for years," Vegeta scoffed. "But I am much more powerful than you now," he flew forward faster than Frieza could see and ripped the alien's right arm off in one swipe. Frieza slowly turned his head to the right and stared at the spot where his right arm was no longer attached to his shoulder and was instead clenched in Vegeta's hand. "As much as I'd like taking my time with you," the Saiyan stated with a smirk, "there are much bigger fish on this planet to spend my time fighting."

Before Frieza could make a retort, Vegeta appeared in front of him with glowing gold hair flowing above his head. "Y-Y-You're a Super Saiyan!" Frieza exclaimed.

"I told you so," the Prince replied and then swiped Frieza's neck clean, grabbing him by the head in one hand and holding up his other open palm in front of it. He blasted the alien's head to smithereens and then released a deep breath. That was one of the best feelings, I've ever felt, he blasted the torso lying on the ground as well and it burned to ashes and then blew away in the wind.

The Saiyan Elite was about to fly off towards a ridiculously high power nearby, when he felt a familiar ki appear on the planet very close to him. There were over a thousand people there now, and the number kept on rising every second. Strong people, weak people, people with strange powers, they were arriving all over the place. The power he felt was decently strong, but the person it belonged to couldn't protect himself. "Trunks!" the man shot off and he found three bandit-looking men with spiky hair moving towards the child with lavender hair.

Baby Trunks was two years old, almost three, but he was no pushover. From the day he could walk, he could train. Vegeta was about to crash down and kill all three men who dared try to attack his son, when the little boy jumped towards one and kicked up in the man's chin, knocking the guy a hundred feet up in the air.

"WHAT?!" the other two shouted and then gulped as the two year old tried mimicking his father and started glaring at them with his cute baby face. Trunks punched the other two and knocked them as far as he knocked the first one.

That's my son, Vegeta thought proudly. He grinned, The most powerful two year old that has ever lived! The man flew over and young Trunks beamed at his father who he knew had seen the quick beating. Vegeta knew his son was strong, but there were beings a lot stronger than him on this planet, and he couldn't leave the boy here to fend for himself. He grabbed the child under the armpits and lifted Trunks up to sit on his shoulders. "Let's go."

Batman watched from the distant tree line as the man he thought was a dangerous threat picked up a child in a caring manner and flew away. The vigilante wished he knew what was going on; it was difficult to even decide where he was right now. He was in America, but someone he passed by earlier mentioned how this didn't look like Tokyo, and another person thought they were in France. Then again, he swore he heard someone shout, 'I'll send you back to Hell,' to a strange buff looking man with red hair and body armor, right before the short bald guy who shouted it kicked the red haired man's head off.

Krillin was so proud of himself for taking down Recoome that he was actually looking around to try and get in another fight. He could feel people fighting all over the planet, and there were a few areas he planned to avoid. Goku and Gohan are demolishing Cell, but I think I want to avoid going over there. The bald midget lowered to the ground where a teenager with yellow hair and scars on his face that looked like whiskers was staring ahead in awe at a taller man with spiky yellow hair.

"But Dad, you're dead. How can you be here?" Naruto had no idea what to make of the situation, but he was happy.

"I don't know," Minato saw someone lowering from the sky towards them and he looked up. "Are you a ninja from the Village Hidden in the Stone?"

Krillin looked around as he landed on the ground and then pointed at himself incredulously. "Haha, me? No, I'm not. You guys are ninjas? Cool!" Krillin had never met any real life ninjas before.

"Then how were you flying?" Naruto asked the strange man. They were in the middle of a field and there were people all over the place talking to strangers and trying to figure out where they were.

Krillin smiled and held open his left hand. A small ball of yellow light formed on it and he stated, "By controlling my ki." He closed his hand and the ball disappeared.

He said ki, not chakra, Minato noticed and looked around at all the strange people around him. "This is not our world," he stated and Krillin nodded, already having the same assumption a little after he arrived.

Naruto though, was completely shocked and his eyes popped open while his tongue stuck out of his mouth. "Ehhh?! So where are we?"

Before that question could even be pondered, a loud crash turned everyone's attention to the center of the field where a dozen people were flying up in the air and screaming while debris flew up as well. Krillin disappeared from the younger ninja's sight for a second as he flew up in the air and caught all twelve of the people on their descent. He lowered them to the ground near the tree line and they were still screaming, not knowing that they weren't falling anymore.

Minato and Naruto sprinted forward and were also invisible to the naked eye for most people there. However, one of the ones who could follow their movement was the man who crashed in the middle of the field and broke it apart. "I'm the Juggernaut bitches!" he yelled and slammed both fists into the ground, causing a ripple of broken earth that shot towards the approaching ninja. Both father and son had to jump up in the air to avoid the large quake. The huge man in the center of the field had massive bulging muscles and red armor around a lot of his body.

While Minato was in midair, he formed a Rasengan on one hand and threw a marked kunai with the other. Krillin was about to fly back to stop the large strong man, when the yellow haired man appeared using some sort of Instant Transmission, right behind Juggernaut. He spun on one foot and slammed the blue ball into the man three times his size's back.

Juggernaut flew off his feet and hit the ground rolling, but he stuck a hand in the dirt and ripped up a trench through the ground as he lifted himself up still in his roll. Naruto was coming up with a Rasengan of his own in his hand, but the Juggernaut spun and kicked the boy in the hand that he had pushed forward with the spinning ball of chakra on it. His foot slammed straight through the ball and into Naruto's hand, making a loud cracking sound heard all around.

Krillin decided enough was enough and he flew over there almost instantly. At the same time, Minato was teleporting back to another kunai he threw before. Juggernaut turned at the last second since he knew people were approaching, but the sight of the second Rasengan didn't process until it had hit his chest and Minato pushed all the way into it. While that was happening, Krillin floated in front of Juggernaut's face and punched him twenty times back and forth across his cheeks.

"Ughughughugh," the massive man's helmet shattered with one final punch and his chest was searing with pain as he flew backwards again and this time all the way to the trees where he crashed through several. When he finally stopped moving, he moaned and his whole face was in pain, as well as most of his torso. "Mother fuckers, think they, can mess," he kicked up and flew up in the air with a fist pulled back, "WITH ME?!" The area he kicked off of broke down into a huge crater and trees went flying in every direction from the rush of wind coming off his jump. He came crashing back down with his fist flying forward towards the short man and he roared, "I told you! I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BIT-" he stopped screaming as his fist collided with the open palm of the short man who didn't move or try to dodge. Krillin's feet got slammed down so hard that a huge crater formed under him, but he remained standing and smirked up at the huge man who started sweating profusely.

Minato appeared over Juggernaut's back and tried stabbing him with a kunai, but the blade broke when it hit the large man's skin. The ninja kicked off, knowing the giant would try something, but there was no need. "Kame," Krillin began and closed his open palm around Juggernaut's fist. The man didn't fall out of the air; he was being held above Krillin's head.

"Hey, hey what are you doing?!" The large man yelled and started punching the small man in the face with his other hand, yet the attacks did almost nothing and Krillin just kept smiling. The midget felt the attacks getting harder and wondered if this man could actually hurt him, but he wouldn't have the time to figure that out for sure.

"HAME!" Krillin's left hand was held at his side while he clenched harder with the right and broke some bones in the hand of his enemy. The Juggernaut roared at the same time that Krillin smashed his other hand forward, "HAAA!" The blue ball of light in his left hand turned into a beam that shot through his opponent's chest and expanded to cover the width of the whole man before shooting up in the distance.

Nothing was left but ashes, and Minato was impressed by the short man's amazing power. The father rushed over to his son and Krillin was amazed by the ninja's speed, but Minato wasn't known as the Yellow Flash of the Leaf for nothing. He got over to Naruto who was looking at his hand in shock. His right hand was mangled and he had multiple broke fingers. "From one kick?" the boy whispered, then looked up as the shorter man landed in front of him. "How did you manage not to get hurt by all those strong punches?"

"Years of training," Krillin replied and smirked. He wasn't used to being impressive since he was always around Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, or Vegeta. Those aliens have it so nice, the bald man smiled and then looked down at the younger man massaging his hurt hand. "Sorry about that."

The other two looked at Krillin and wondered why he was apologizing. "I could have got over here quicker, but I thought you had it under control."

"I could have beaten him!" Naruto shouted, thinking that the man thought he was weak. Kurama was laughing at him inside his body and the boy frowned. "I just didn't expect him to be... that... strong," the boy's voice faded out as he remembered Krillin getting pounded over and over again and not flinching.

The midget wasn't paying much attention to the boy as he suddenly realized something. They've stopped coming, the people appearing all over the place had been coming faster and faster this whole time. More and more kept arriving and it felt like the number was going to just keep going forever, then all at once the number of people stopped going up. "I'm going to try and figure out what's going on," Krillin told the two blondes with him.

Naruto and his dad looked up as the short man floated up in the air. "Hold on," Naruto called up to the man, "What's your name?"

The man in the white t-shirt and baggy black pants looked back down and smiled at the two ninjas. "I'm Krillin. It was nice to meet you!" He was impressed by the two ninjas and although they weren't as strong as him, he thought they definitely could have taken that dumb brute without his help, though he was happy they didn't need to.

Krillin flew towards Goku and Gohan who were having more trouble defeating Cell than the human originally thought they would. "Damn Piccolo's genes getting in the way," Krillin shook his head and felt out the Namekian's power on the other side of the planet. Piccolo's regenerative powers were passed on to Cell so it was very hard to kill him. He thought about heading over there and picking up the green alien first before going to the Saiyans, but that idea was shot down when Piccolo's power disappeared almost the same time a much larger power appeared there. It had been a whole minute since the rapidly increasing numbers stopped, but one final power appeared and it was terrifying.

Superman was on the opposite side of the planet surrounded by destroyed monsters and a bunch of tied up humans who were trying to attack and kill all the other people who had just arrived. A lot of them had strange powers and abilities, but he was able to match them all and eliminate the ones who were more than just criminals. He was thousands of miles away from Krillin, but they both felt the power that appeared at the same time. "Doomsday," the hero with a large letter 'S' on his costume muttered and glared off into the distance.

Gohan was in the middle of charging a Kamehameha wave to use against a badly beaten Cell. He and his father had gotten the monster to a point where it was getting desperate, however it was hard to fully destroy the beast without a move that might hurt other people. He'd come up with an idea though, and Gohan told his father who was just enjoying getting to fight Cell again. After Goku's intense training on Otherworld, he was having a much better fight against Cell than the last time he had to fight him.

The child was about to shoot off the energy wave when he felt his green master's power go out a few dozen miles away from him and the enormous power that emerged where his friend and teacher was a second before. "NOOO!" he roared and at the same time his father finished the double-legged kick that sent Cell flying up in the air above Gohan. The boy roared in pain and anguish and released a Kamehameha wave even larger than the one he originally killed Cell with.

Before the blast had even finished disintegrating all of Cell's... cells, Gohan's head had snapped to the left and the boy's hair flickered brighter gold with lightning bolts crashing over the landscape and destroying the ground. "Go for it Gohan," his father called over to him once he was sure that Cell was really gone. The boy kicked off the floor in a flash of golden light and got a few feet forward...

Hiro Nakamura froze time.

The Japanese man pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and drew his samurai sword. He started running all the way from the top of the sand dune he was hiding behind to the huge crater in the ground. Hiro looked inside the hole in the sand and saw the monster in the center of the crater with bodies all around him. The time traveler had tried, and failed to go backwards and forwards in time, but freezing it still worked. He moved carefully down the hole and right past the remains of a green man with antennae who Hiro just watched get pulverized and ripped apart.

The Asian man was feeling nervous, but he held himself together and walked all the way up to the monster. It was horrifying: red eyes, horns, sharp teeth, its skin color was a dark bluish gray, and his muscles were too large that they looked unnatural. "Take this you monster!" Hiro shoved his sword into the monster's face and it came out the other side.

Time unfroze and the man wearing glasses slid the sword out of Doomsday's head. A few people were on the edge of the crater and had been trying to stop the monster to give the other people in the desert they were in some time to escape. All of a sudden there was a man in the hole with a long sword being slid out of the monster's head. "It is okay," Hiro said and turned around, waving to the people on the outside of the hole, "I have defeated it! Yata!"

"Look out beh-" someone began to shout but she was too late. Mine stared down in horror as the man who tried to help them got a massive fist straight through his back and out the front of his gut. The monster they were fighting ripped its arm up and pulled through the human to his head and gripped it in his palm, then crushed Hiro's skull into his fist.

The girl with pink hair started stumbling backwards and she didn't even know if her Imperial Arms could help her anymore. Pumpkin's power was strong, and she was definitely in a pinch, but she saw that powerful guy with green skin get ripped to shreds by this monster. She was in the same vicinity as it when it appeared in the air and dropped down on top of the green man who had just helped defeat a few murderers rampaging around the desert. The tall green man was so strong, and just like that he was gone, so what chance did she have? Just when I thought I could see Tatsumi...

She stumbled backwards and fell to her butt. As she did, Doomsday jumped out of the crater and landed on the sand in between two men one with a wand and the other with a large wooden staff. Both had long white beards, and looked like powerful wizards, but Doomsday grabbed them by the heads and smashed their skulls together so hard that his hands clapped in the middle.

The pink haired girl tried to get to her feet and run, but her legs wouldn't move and she trembled in absolute terror as the rest of the group that had tried stopping the beast were ripped apart. A small green creature with light fur jumped in front of her right as the monster saw her and tried punching her. The little man had pointy ears and he held up a small silver hilt that extended a long green light. The lightsaber cut through Doomsday's fist and the little man tried flipping towards it to finish the job and cut off the monster's head, but he failed.

Master Yoda saw the other fist coming for him and he held out a hand, using the force push to propel himself away from Doomsday before the fist would hit him. He launched himself up in the air, but Doomsday jumped up to follow him, his reaction time not even a millisecond behind the smaller creature. Yoda tried to push the monster away using the force, but it kept flying towards him and smashed both hands down on top of Yoda's head, slamming the Jedi into the sand below and dying the sand even more red than before.

Mine looked around and all she saw were bodies all around her. The sand was turning red and Doomsday landed in front of her with an evil red glare that made her shake uncontrollably. She knew she should have just run like most everyone else, but she felt that she was strong enough to stay. "S-S," she couldn't speak, but she watched as the monster bared its teeth at her. Its going to eat me! "S-Someone, HELP ME!" she screamed at the top of her lungs and then the monster snapped its head forwards.

The girl screamed again but her breath caught in her throat as suddenly a young boy with glowing blonde hair and a muscular man wearing tights appeared in between her and Doomsday. Her eyes were in the process of widening at the sight of the two males in mid-flight with their arms extended against the beast's face. Both punched the monster as hard as they could and it was sent flying backwards where it tumbled through the sand and then dug a trench half a mile into the distance.

Superman and Gohan glanced at each other and the silent message passed between them perfectly. Both knew that their enemy was still alive, and very powerful, and they weren't going to stop until they'd taken him down. "Get out of here," Gohan stated in a cold tone that made the girl flinch and made Superman look back at the Saiyan kid for a second glance. This time the superhero saw the child staring horrified into the hole and at the remains of the green man inside it.

There was nothing Superman could do to stop the child as the kid shot off with amazing speed towards their enemy. Doomsday roared and lifted his arms up, ready for the challenge.

Pao Town

Present

Gohan slid the door open to his living room, which was also used as the town's meeting hall. The first thing he did was scan the room and he looked around at the familiar faces along with one more he didn't quite recognize.

"Sit down so Kakarott will finish this," Vegeta scolded over at the boy who walked into the room. He didn't even want to be there, especially when Kakarott, the third class Saiyan, was the one in charge. However, he would not allow himself to be left out of the loop. The Saiyan Prince threatened to take control before, but Goku said he could if he wanted to, but it would take time away from training. Vegeta knew he was being tricked at the time, but he had to agree that running a town didn't seem as enticing as spending more time training to potentially escape from here.

Gohan listened to his father and went over to an empty cushion in the circle around the center of the room. He nodded politely at the two figures he sat between and they greeted him back in kind.

The one on his left, a short old man with no hair on top of his head but some around the ears, continued as if their mayor never interrupted the meeting in the first place. "We would be happy to sell you provisions, Akagami. However," the red haired man in the center of the circle lifted his head up and stared Makarov directly in the eyes.

Shanks didn't like the sound of that 'however.' It sounded like their was a problem with their transaction. The pirate began again, "There are hundreds of starving people in the Cape. Port Royal's a haven for more than just bandits, thieves, and..."

"Pirates," the person on Gohan's right finished. The rat mutant was as tall as a normal human, and he narrowed his eyes at the pirate in front of him. "You sound eager to buy food from us, Shanks. You are willing to compensate us instead of attempting to pillage. So why do you ask for more food than you can afford? Is it solely to help the people of the Cape?" Master Splinter rested his hands under his chin and stared at the pirate's face to look for an honest reaction.

"Yes," Shanks replied with a straight face.

"Alright then!" Goku clapped his hands together. "Take as much as you need!" The Saiyan didn't think Shanks was lying and he was happy to give the people more food if they really were starving.

"Agreed," Max said. The old man in the red Hawaiian shirt smiled at this pirate who was very different than a few he had the displeasure of running into during the last two years.

Vegeta just grunted in agreement. Makarov and Splinter each nodded along with the remaining two other members at the meeting. Gohan looked around at the town leaders and grinned. Makarov started back up before the meeting was fully adjourned though, and he brought up what he wanted to say earlier. "Akagami," Shanks turned back to the elderly man, "where did these supplies come from?"

Shanks paused and everyone in the room looked at him. "I stole it, from a Jedi..." Before he could say another word, half the room started talking and interrupted him.

Najenda slammed her metal green fist on the wood floor next to her cushion. "You stole from the NEG?! Are you insane?"

Goku had not stopped smiling even after the man told him who he got the money from. In fact, once Shanks said it, Vegeta started grinning too and then he started cracking up in the middle of the silver haired female general's violent question. "I like this guy! You've got some balls for a human." The Prince smirked at him and Shanks nodded at the man with a smirk of his own.

Makarov looked around and although most of the room was shocked by where the money came from, it didn't look like they would be going back on the deal. "I'm surrounded by crazy people," the old man muttered and shook his head, smiling that they were also such good people.

Suddenly Makarov began coughing, a small fit at first, but it quickly got bigger and bigger as the man hunched over and coughed hard. The man was shouting and being an active part of the meeting up until a few seconds ago, so this sudden sickness caught everyone in the room by surprise.

Gohan jumped out of his seat and next to the old man who he tried to help up. He lifted Makarov up a little, when the old man coughed again very hard and blood splattered onto the young boy's arm. "What's happening to him?" A boy Gohan's age exclaimed.

The bald fourteen year old had a blue arrow tattooed on his scalp and was wearing a tan gi. Aang backed up a few feet from where the old man was sitting in between him and Gohan.

"Could he have just gotten sick?" Goku asked. The spiky haired Saiyan mayor stood up as well and took a step forward before hearing something on the other side of the room and spinning towards it.

"Max?" Najenda asked the man who suddenly coughed a few times.

"I'm sure it's noth-" Max stopped short and had to start coughing again, this time harder than the last.

Vegeta lifted his head up and sniffed a few times before his eyes went wide. Najenda was reaching for Max to help, when the Saiyan Prince grabbed her from behind. "Stop," Vegeta warned and pulled her back, while putting another hand over her mouth.

"Kakarott," Vegeta started, becoming very serious quickly which surprised the others in the room. "You and your son get the others out of here."

"What's going on Vegeta?" Goku called out to his fellow Saiyan.

"It's a human disease, weaponized," the others had no idea how he knew this, but he pointed to the old men coughing up blood. "Tuberculosis, Bul-" he started and then stopped, a faraway look in his eyes. "Bulma was trying to find a cure so I know the signs. It's happening at a much faster rate though."

"Aren't we in danger too?" Gohan asked as he ran over and grabbed Aang around his face to cover up his mouth and nose to make it impossible to breath in the fumes.

"No, it has no effect on our species' DNA," the Prince responded and then flew straight up and through the roof. The struggling woman in his arms gasped a huge breath when they got high enough above the Son household.

Gohan flew up as well, while the pirate they were talking to jumped through the roof and was kicking the air beneath his feet to hold him up near the others.

Goku was still inside the house and he reached for Max, but the old man pushed him aside. "It's too late f-" he coughed a lot and couldn't finish his sentence, but Goku understood and his face hardened. He looked to the other end of the room where Splinter had been trying to carry Makarov out on his shoulder, but the old rat man collapsed to his knees and coughed a few times.

Maybe it's not too late for him! Goku flew towards the rat guy when he felt a fluctuation in a ki directly behind him. His heart skipped a beat and he smashed through the paper-thin wall behind him into his dining room.

"Mommy! Mommy what's wrong?!" A young Goten was shaking his mother who all of a sudden began coughing up blood on the table.

"ChiChi!" Goku exclaimed and flew forward, grabbing his wife around the waist and his son with his other hand.

The others up in the air looked down and saw Goku flying up with his wife and youngest son in his arms. "Mom!" Gohan yelled as he saw his mother coughing and struggling in his father's arms.

The teenager dropped Aang and the air bender used his own powers to keep him afloat on top of a ball of air. The whole group in the air above the house watched as the Son boys gathered in the air and kept shouting at ChiChi who couldn't stop coughing.

At the same time, both Vegeta and Shanks saw something out the corners of their eyes. The two of them dropped down and the one-armed man drew his sword, slicing the small green robot in half. The creation was trying to sneak away through the grass that it blended in with so nicely, but both of them spotted it from a hundred yards up in the air.

Vegeta glared at the sparking creature on the ground. Both halves were squirming like they were trying to escape. "What is that thing?" Najenda asked, still in the Saiyan's arms.

There was a small camera on one half of it and the camera was moving back and forth looking at the two men and the woman and then up at he sky. "Primary objective failed, moving to secondary protocol."

The robotic voice stopped and Shanks realized something. He was looking at the design and there was something familiar with it. The red haired man stated in a cold voice, "Lex Lu-," and then the robot exploded.

For such a small being, the explosion was large enough to engulf the entire front lawn as well as all of the Son's house. Once it touched the Son abode, the house burst into flames incredibly fast and Vegeta figured the gas must have been flammable as he flew backwards with the pirate and general in his arms.

Everyone else in Pao Town ran out of their homes and towards the sound of the explosion. A hundred people were staring at the huge dome of fire that covered the mayor's house.

"Boss!"

"Grandpa!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Aang!"

People started screaming the names of their friends and family who they thought were at the meeting.

"Thank you," Shanks barely even saw the explosion coming, but all of a sudden he was a hundred feet backwards in the arms of the muscular Saiyan he was with. Vegeta didn't acknowledge him; he put the pirate down and then stared over as Goku landed in front of his scorched lawn.

The crowd became silent almost instantly as their mayor lowered his wife down and lay her on the main dirt street that cut through their village. She had blood covering her face and she was no longer twitching like before. "ChiChi," the Saiyan shook her a little, but the woman was unresponsive.

"Mom," Gohan whispered and cradled her head in his hands. His younger brother started crying and Gohan wrapped him up in a tight hug while tears poured down his face. Piccolo was long dead, and they hadn't seen another Namekian their whole time on Nexus. This meant no dragonballs, this meant... she was really dead.

"Master!" Natsu looked around the front lawn, but he didn't see anyone else from the meeting outside. A few of the other town occupants were walking towards the building's remains, but they had grim expressions on their faces and wouldn't meet the pink haired boy's gaze as he looked for an answer.

"Grandpa?" Ben called out and took a step towards the front lawn. He didn't see his old man anywhere and he turned to Goku, "My grandpa got out right? You saved him didn't you?" Goku winced as he remembered the old man in the Hawaiian shirt coughing up blood in the living room.

"You say you recognized that machine?" Vegeta asked without turning to the man standing next to him. He, Shanks, and Najenda were standing in a line on the outskirts of the crowd, looking in. Some of the Night Raid members saw their boss okay and smiled at the woman, but she didn't smile back.

"As did I," the former general stated. Shanks looked over at Najenda and saw the woman gazing off into the distance. "Lex Luther, leader of the Underworld."
