"Thank you for your attention

The time machine is ready" Said Bulma, ending the discussions and aggressions that were being committed in the previous episode

"So fast?" Asked almost everyone

Everyone knew that Bulma is a genius capable of creating a particle accelerator with clips, but even so, they believed that making a time machine work again wouldn't be so fast

"With my time compressor everything can be done very quickly

Not only has it given me time to generate enough fuel for several round trips, I have also created some devices that will allow us to communicate with each other regardless of the time line or time in which we are

And of course I have also enlarged the inside of the time machine without modifying the size of the time machine ... and I created another time machine just in case..." Said Bulma, showing her new creation, the intertemporal mobile phone… the only product she could bring with her, the time machine was still in the garage

Now she's strong enough to bring her here... but...

Why the hell would she have to do something so unnecessary?

It was more practical to guide them to the garage instead

"Using a time compressor while modifying and creating a time machine?

You don't stop playing with the taboos of this universe" Said Beerus, who tried to turn a blind eye as much as he could… but wasn't easy…

Bulma's family, whether in this or another timeline, were the greatest criminals he had ever met.

Even so… his life was in the hands of those criminals... and if he dared to do something to them Broly would finish him...

"I didn't expect less from you mom" Said Trunks, who left the Form Realm with Gohan right now

When Bulma told to them that everything was ready the Broly inside the Form Realm finished the training and kicked them off his property after beating them up in a last sparring match

Although thanks to his healing powers Broly, shower and new changes ... Gohan and Trunks seemed to have come out of a spa instead of the WWII

"Trunks, have you finished your training yet?" Said Goku, Bulma and almost all the other Z Warriors gathered in the garden

"You look much more powerful than before, I didn't expect less from you" Said Vegeta, that was even capable of increasing his pride due to evolution of his alternative son

"It seems that we have among us another Saiyan with divine energy" Said Whis, that with a single glance he could notice the growth of Trunk

Now he was at a level equal to or even higher than that of Goku, Vegeta, Ginger and Yam… the students who with so much care was cultivating

"Yes, another problem" Said Beerus, who learned in the hard way that the existence of a powerful Saiyan wasn't always a good thing for the stability of his universe

And even worse for his peace of mind

That's why he wanted to lose sight of them as soon as possible… even if was only for a few minutes "Let's leave these observations for later…

I think we all have things to do, especially the boy"

Although the most excited of all was ...

"Yes, I really want to fight my evil self" Said Goku very excited to depart now, but suddenly someone looked at him resignedly "Why are you looking at me like that, Bulma?"

"I know you just want to fight and that stuff, but it's still unclear if someone other than Trunks can go to the future.

In the case in which you, Vegeta, Gohan or Broly accompany Trunks, there could be an accident with unimaginable consequences.

Either making time travel impossible, sending you to another time and place, killing you…

It's not entirely certain that you can come and go, much less fight Black" Said Bulma, explaining to Goku's the harsh reality… almost as if she were a mother explaining to her son that Santa Claus didn't exist

"So, will you send Trunks alone to the future?" Asked Vide, worried about losing Gohan in case he went to the future to help his friend

"Don't worry Videl, they all have 500 bodies, we will send 499 there and leave one here

In the event that they die due to an accident related with the time travel or at Black's hands they will still be alive in our timeline

They will only need some time in the time compressor to regenerate those 499 remaining bodies

And we also have a time machine to spare, so Trunks can go back to his future on his own if there is a problem during the trip

That's why I created another machine, I hope it isn't necessary to use it, but it is better to be proactive" Said Bulma, explaining to Videl and the others that despite the potential danger they really didn't have to worry

"And don't worry about your Gohan, we'll send Goku and Vegeta as test guinea pigs first.

If they die the losses won't be so serious

Besides… Trunks has something to say to your Gohan…" Said Broly also reassuring Videl… but only Videl

"HEY!

THAT'S CRUEL!" Protested Vegeta and Goku, that felt like canaries inside a mine

"Mmm…

You are right…

There is no danger then" Said Videl, relieved to realize that there was no chance of becoming a widow

Unlike Chichi, she cares about her husband!

And at the same time his husband cared about his friend "Trunks, are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?

With my ability I could..."

"Gohan-san, isn't necessary.

You've already done a lot for me, you don't have to fight my battles now

You should stay here and protect this world while the others are out, it's not impossible for Black to come here too" Said Trunks to his alternative teacher in a speech that involved more than it seemed to our time traveller

As long as Trunks had memory, the Gohan of his timeline was the one fighting against C-17, C-18 and all the adversity every day

Was that Gohan, who forced himself to be strong and combative even though it was something he had never liked… and unfortunately he lived and died in his arms in that way, without living a single day of peace

And for some reason Trunks didn't want to see the Gohan who had achieved everything his Gohan had yearned for went with him to fight in the ruined world where he once died

A subtext that Gohan understood, although it was difficult for him to accept that he couldn't go to help him "...

Okay, good luck

Although I will be very restless for not being able to do anything"

"Don't worry about anything, we can see everything that happens in Trunk's future thanks to Bulma's new invention and my spying ability attached to Goku.

You can cheer them on while you eat popcorn ... and of course ... I have to work as a projector again..." Said Broly as he prepared all the stuff for his new film

"I see that you have everything under control here

Whis!

Let's go to universo 10's Kaioshin realm!

We'd better destroy Zamaus now while we've got the chance!" Said Beerus, that wanted to get rid of a threat to his life as soon as possible

And since he couldn't kill Broly, he settled for killing Zamasu.

"B-but won't that change the future and create another new timeline?" Asked Whis, pointing out that they were committing another illegality

"So what? If we don't do something, everyone will wind up dead!" Beerus said to justify the crime he was about to commit

"Said the great defender of intergalative law

You are very flexible when it comes to saving your life" Broly said with his usual sarcasm

"Your sarcasm no longer affects me" Replied Beerus, who that he learned that the best way to avoid Broly's sarcasm, jokes, criticisms and other annoying stuff was to pretend that shit didn't affect you

"Won't you stay to see the show?

Zamasu will take time to return to the house of the supreme useless of the tenth universe

He's just now asking Zuno about the Super Dragon Balls" Said Broly, not with the intention that they would stay to see the show… he oly wanted to show them that he was still in control of the situation

"No thanks, I'm sick of so many movies

Let's go" Said Beerus, prioritizing work over leisure, an extreme measure solely fostered by his survival instinct

Therefore he and Whis leaved the planet with Whis wormhole technique

"It seems that the operation to kill Zamasu through time has started with two teams leaving at the same time.

Come on guys, get on board my ship" Said Bulma, showing everyone the way to the garage where she had placed her time machine

---

Meanwhile…

Beerus and Whis were traveling to Universe 10 for professional reasons ... and somewhat personal ... inside me magical Cub

And obviously, to liven up this relatively long trip they talked this and that

"Goku only causes problems

He first let himself be possessed by a psychopathic Kai and now despite all the warnings he almost killed us all several times

He is a complete idiot..." Said Beerus, who hadn't yet recovered from seeing Goku in the cinema, in a hyper-realistic horror movie where his stupidity could have killed everyone, on or off screen.

Terrifying scenes that was unable to erase from his head

"So you could see everything what happened in Zeno-sama's palace like Broly-san said?" Asked Whis rhetorically, although it is evident that Beerus and company could see what they did in a different dimension he wanted his cat to confirm it

"Yes, absolutely everything, I almost had several heart attacks every time Goku acted like an idiot" Beerus replied, showing traces of post-traumatic stress.

So after hearing that confirmation, Whis explained his thoughts about Broly's ability "It is quite incredible that you could see it all, since that palace was built so that only those who have been invited can go or detect something inside…

Even if you observed us through an ability, it should have been cancelled or at least paused inside the palace"

"…"

However, this mistake about the Big Head's Palace Anti-Spy Spell wasn't what really disturbed him "And what is also worrying is that not even Dai Shinkan, nor Zeno-sama nor Zeno-sama's ȧssistants were able to sense that you were spying on us.

That made me think that…"

"That we could also be spied on by Broly 24/7 and we wouldn't even be aware?

That's a terrifying idea...

And ... at the same time gives me headaches…" Said Beerus with obvious concern

Even if he's a lazy glutton he's not stupid, from the moment Broly explained and demonstrated his spying ability on Goku...

An ability that he was unable to detect, he already realized that was possible… but the fact that the most supreme beings in the multiverse weren't even able to detect it made it even more terrifying

That means that no one is safe from Broly's spying ability!

"Why do you say that Beerus-sama?" Asked Whis somewhat puzzled

There was something else besides that terrifying ability that made Beerus worry?

In fact, there are many things to worry about, especially about Broly, but those problems weren't unknown until now.

"If Broly has such a terrible ability, why the hell did he show it to us?" Answered Beerus, scratching the fur of his head in hopes that this will help him think better "He could have said that he found out about Zamasu through other means like reading Shin's mind, that he used his Answer Talker ability or something like that.

What is the point of revealing this terrifying ability to us when he already knows that we suspect that he's planning something very dark?

This obviously will make us be more alert or create countermeasures such as speaking telepathically as we do now..."

"It's weird, undoubtedly" Answered Whis, that also asked himself the same question few minutes ago

"Did he do it to show sincerity in the event that we ever found out about this ability by other means?

It's weird, absurd and annoying!

Sometimes some data come to light that makes him seem the culprit, then we know other data that make him seem innocent, then everything indicates that the culprit may be someone else and then he says or does something that makes him a suspect again ...

And so over and over again…

I swear I don't understand Whis ...

What the hell is happening here?" Said Beerus with great confusion

He felt like an autistic freshly woke up with hangover trying to understand a cologne ad in a contemporary art museum with trap music in the background

Nothing made sense to him!

Luckily, Whis's mind was far more sophisticated than a cat's, therefore he was able to analyse the situation much better "I understand what you mean…

If Broly really had an evil plan and wanted to do something in the future, with his intelligence and means at his disposal, I doubt that we would even realize about it

Obviously we could have gotten to smell something due to certain details, clusters of coincidences and even leaks since gigantic long-term plans tend to present vulnerabilities

However, all these details that have made us suspicious of Broly have been...

Too obvious..."

"Too obvious?" Asked Beerus, without understanding what its owner meant, or at least not quite

"That's how it is.

It's as if Broly purposely exposed all the clues pointing to him ... or at least he didn't care if they were exposed.

I doubt someone like him can be that clumsy and I find it even more difficult to believe that so many misunderstandings have arisen one after another that lead us to suspect him" Answered Whis while remembering all the moments when Broly said or did suspicious things

"So…

You are suggesting that he is playing with us..." Said Beerus, that after listening to Whis's reflection drew that conclusion

"It is very likely

In the case that he's really planning something, maybe he deduced that someone... maybe we... would discover something eventually, that's why he dropped small clues near our feet's that would make us suspect him by exposing his own plan

At the same time he would also make us suspect that he's not the mastermind, that he's not planning anything or that in reality nothing is happening

After all why would the culprit expose his own crime? That's what everyone would think, which would make him seem less guilty in our rational minds, making us believe that we are misunderstanding the situation…

And as if he didn't know anything about it, he will refute or suspicions proving his innocence with his fabricated and planed evidence, evidence that he already planned to show us even before exposing his own implication…

Showing himself collaborative to unravel the mystery, but creating distractions, false data and maybe pointing out other possible culprits during the investigation

Thus leaving us in a constant state of alert that makes us doubt about everything every time" Said Whis, explaining his extensive theory of the whole situation in a single dialogue, as if he were Kurapica in the Succession Contest arc

An informational bomb that exploded too hard in Beerus's mind, a mind already overloaded by all that had lived and thought today "Ahhhh AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

SICK BASTARD!

Even so, all this seems very complicated and far-fetched to me ...

And also very risky!

Why would he choose this option when there are safer ways to hide his presumed evil plan?"

"Perhaps he is so confident that he believes that his plan has a 100% probability of success, that even if we realized it we would be unable to stop him…

Or that he simply enjoys seeing us doubt and dance in the palm of his hand" Whis replied, stating his conclusions about Broly's ability, behaviour and intentions

"I would be terrified if any of those three possibilities is the true one

Anyway, from now on we will communicate telepathically" Said Beerus, as he tried to think in something else, like kill Zamasu, the other bastard that probably was planning to kill him in the future

"Of course, Beerus sama" Answered Whis as he continued his journey in his wormhole where him, Beerus and…

[I wonder what would happen if you knew that the correct answer is ...

All three options at the same time

Huahuahuahua]

… And someone else continued his journey towards the Universe 10

---

Meanwile, but in other timeline and in the future…

In the middle of a ruined city, next to the ruins of the legendary Capsule Corp

A time machine suddenly appeared in the air

"This is the future?" Asqued Goku as he go out the time machine, quite sad to see the city in such state

"Yes, it seems that my mother's worries were unnecessary.

There have been no incidents, time travel has been successful" Answered Trunks, relieved to see that they hadn't died as Broly had theorized

"I am glad to hear that Trunks, be very careful and try to fight away from the time machine" Said Bulma through your inter-temporal and dimensional communication device, that like any other mother ordered the childrens to go play away from his car

"… So this is Earth in the future?

…Damn it all…" Said Vegeta quite angry to see that the world he once almost tried to destroy and save was in such a state

Either for one case or another someone was better than him or destroyed what he had achieved

"Wow, this is awful

EH?

Over in that mountain… is that Black

He's started to move

Looks like he's spotted us" Said Goku, who sensed his other self evil and somewhat unknown Ki

A disturbing Ki that was heading towards them and that would reach them in a few seconds if it continued to advance at that speed

That meant that the conflict with the genocidal Goku was imminent and that they should be prepared to fight as soon as he appeared.

But…

"Trunks, where are you going?" Shouted Vegeta upon see that his alternative son wasn't warming up, instead he was…

Rescuing a woman?

"Mai's still alive!

Broly was right!" Said Broly as he hugged Mai, which was unconscious on the floor due to the blow to the head he received from Black before Trunks left this timeline believing she was dead

However, as his alternate evil stepfather told him, she was only injured, so if she ate a Senzu Bean she would recover instantly and without sequelae.

The problem right now was that Mai, being unconscious, couldn't eat a bean by herself, therefore Trunks, his boyfriend, in a technically consensual way and without the possibility of being reported for sėxuȧŀ harassment helped her swallow that bean for her with a romantic mouth-to-mouth manoeuvre

A medical and romantic process that one of the spectators didn't understand

"Whaah?

He's sticking their lips together!" Said Goku, that didn't understand what he was seeing, unlike his elementary school son Goten, that was seeing everything that's Broly's ability again

"Haven't you ever done that before?" Vegeta asked confused

Goku was jocking or something like that?

"HM?

Done what?" Answerd Goku, who didn't seem to be kidding

"Haven't you…

Ever Kissed…?" Vegeta asked VERY confused, as he had never been before

Gods capable of destroying entire universes at will, time travel, or talking animals were understandable and normal things to him up to this point.

But that a 40-year-old man with two children and a granddaughter doesn't know what a kiss is was something surreal

"OF CORUSE NOT!" Goku answered almost outraged

Why the hell would he do something so strange, unnecessary and disgusting?

"…Aren't you married?" Asked Vegeta, who at this point didn't know what to think about his rival

"Huh?

What's that got to do?" Said Goku, not understanding Vegeta's strange questions

What is the relationship between what Trunks is doing with that girl and his marriage with Chichi?

"N..never mind…" Said Vegeta, who wanted to bury in the depths of his brain this surreal moment so that he wouldn't lose the little respect he had for the intelligence and common sense of his rival

A surreal moment that was burned into everyone's soul for all eternity

"Gohan ... it's a fuċkɨnġ miracle that you and Goten were born" Said Broly to his disciple

"Yes ... I know ... I think everything happened thanks to my mother..." Said Gohan's as he watched his mom's embarrassed reactions

Thank God, another event interrupted the most embarrassing moment of the Son family.

"MAI!" Shouted Trunks with joy upon see that his granny (her real age is arroun 100 years) girlfriend awoke after a server contusion

"Trunks!!!" Shouted Mai very surprised to see her Trunks here

"Thank's God…!" Trunks said as he hugged his girlfriend like he had never done before.

He was so happy to see that she was okay that he couldn't hold back his tears

"What… what are you doing here?

Didn't you go to the past?" Asked Mai quite confused while hugging him too

"I did and thanks to my mother over there, I was able to come back" Trunks replied as he wiped away his tears and helped lift the love of his life

"So it worked after all

… But… then why'd you return?" Asked Mai, which understood he wanted to come back for her but… a part of her didn't want Trunks to come back for her

The last time they tried to flee they were almost killed by Black!

She was afraid that this would happen again but that they wouldn't be so lucky.

She wasn't too afraid to die, if it hadn't been for the wish she made to Shenron by mistake, she would have already died of old age or for another cause related to be a villain that tried the conquer the world.

However, Trunks life was different!

He was young, kind, sacrificed like nobody else and had saved the whole world on more than one occasion.

The life of someone like him shouldn't be sacrificed for hers

These were some of the things she wanted to say to him… though at the same time she was very happy that he had come for her

However… someone else spoiled that emotional moment…

"That's what I would like to know too

Although that's not my main question right now...." Asked someone that suddenly appeared above them
