Dragon Ball: Super and Beyond (OLD VERSION!)

A Long Awaited Rematch! Kuzuku vs Zugo!

Back On Earth

Everyone was gathered at Bulma's balcony, already informed about the news that had been bestowed upon them. They were serious and waited patiently for the three team members that went to fight at the Expo in hopes that they would gain some information on what they are up against. After a long wait, a pillar of light came from above and descended itself in the middle of the balcony. It dispersed, revealing the Supreme Kai, Whis, Beerus, and the three fighters. Wasting no time, the people who went to the Expo were soon crowded by everyone present. Zugo folded his arms and asked, "Alright, we know about everything so tell us, what are our chances?"

Goku kept a stern expression before answering, "I don't exactly know our chances, Zugo. We were able to win the Expo against one of the universes but we were the only ones that fought."

"Yeah, they didn't prove to be too difficult but our real troubles is that there is a guy who could be as strong if not stronger than Kugeki at least," Piccolo added.

Everyone let out a worried gasp. Though they have all gotten stronger than before, the fact that someone out there is potentially stronger than Kugeki is a frightening thought. Kuzuku also decided to add something as well, "Don't forget Piccolo that not only he is a god of destruction candidate, he also mentioned someone far stronger than him. Universe 11 is definitely not going to be an easy match up I'll tell you that much.". There was a dead silence that filled the air. Everyone didn't know how to process the news that was given to them until a certain someone spoke up.

"Enough sulking and worrying about what we have to fight! All we have to do is simple and that is to eliminate the competition so we can survive!" Vegeta said in his own way of encouragement.

"Yeah, you've all gotten way stronger so we should have more confidence in our abilities!" Riley encouraged as well. Everyone smiled and had a moments laugh before getting back to the topic at hand.

"Alright, so let us go over the rules one more time so everyone knows what to prepare for. The tournament as you know is a 10 man team for each universe and will be a battle royal. Teamwork is most likely key so we all should pair up in groups of 2 or 3 in the battle. Well most of us besides our three powerhouses that consist of Father, Kuzuku, and Vegeta," Gohan explained.

"Wait why are they the only ones separated? Shouldn't they be in pairs as well?" Hudo asked.

"It's because of the fact that their strengths are good enough to take on multiple adversaries at once. Kuzuku and father most likely displayed more power than they should have, making them a big target in the tournament while they will quickly realize that Vegeta is a big threat as well. Since 21 will be participating in the tournament, we have a healer but we should keep her in a group of 3 or 2. People will realize what she capable of." Gohan explained. Everyone looked with agreement until Zugo decided to point something out.

"The plan seems well constructed, however, we are still down two members in the tournament. We need to find extra participants before we could actually start forming formations," Zugo said.

Kuzuku looked over at him, curious with what he had just said, "Wait two members are missing? Don't we have nine?"

"No, because Riley can't participate. She's pregnant with my kid. We just found out today," Zugo answered. Kuzuku took a moment to process what Zugo had said, his eyes shrank with not anger but confusion. It didn't take that much longer till he finally replied.

"What!? Why didn't you tell me!" Kuzuku shouted, shock at what he had just heard. He was happy for them but also kinda worried since this meant one more member is out of the equation.

"Uh, we just did. Weren't you listening bro?" Riley said, a calmness filling her voice. Everyone was secretly congratulating her on the news but also thinking about the fact that two members are seemingly missing for the tournament. They had two days to come up with something, otherwise, they will be at a disadvantage when it's finally time. Goku rubbed his chin until he thought about someone he'd definitely consider to join.
