A loud grunt echoed as Vermont tapped Gohan’s forehead as a great ape knocking him onto his back and out cold as Strix watched from the distance, she held up her hand and watched as a blue Ki ball appeared. “Still feels strange.” She commented to herself as the ball dissipated.

She flew over to the two as Gohan slowly sat up holding his head. “This is irritatingly difficult to master.” Gohan sighed.

“Perhaps you aren’t fully trying.” Vermont pointed out.

“Not trying? I have been at this for two weeks now and it’s weaker than Super Saiyan.” Gohan said as Vermont shrugged.

“What do you think Strix?” Gohan turned and asked her. “You can speak freely.” She nodded.

“Well, from what I can see maybe you aren’t respecting it enough.” Strix said confusing Gohan even more.

“From what you’ve told me you believe it isn’t greater than any of your other power so perhaps mentally you just aren’t interested in a weaker state.” She said but was met with silence until she bowed.

“Forgive me, I am probably speaking nonsense.” She quickly fixed as Vermont smiled slightly at her and glanced at Gohan who only eyed her before nodding and thinking to himself. ‘Well, I still don’t know why Vermont wants me to master it.’ He thought to himself as he sat up and looked at Vermont.

“Let’s try one more time I want to test something out, Strix made a good point I might just not be interested in my great ape state I need to take this more seriously I need to respect the power of my heritage.” He said as he smiled at Strix as he started to grow into a great ape almost 70 meters tall and roared but it wasn’t deafening.

Strix took a step back at the titanic behemoth in front of her and the fact that this creature had a destroyers attire on made it look even more fearsome but before she could even realize what was happening she noticed the beasts arm swing down at her at full strength.

A sudden realization struck her as she stared at the massive fist.

‘Oh…I’m going to die here…’ She thought to herself, she knew she would never be able to evade. ‘I am proud to have served someone as great as you my lord even if it was briefly.’

She closed her eyes and waited to be swatted but the seconds ticked on until she opened her eyes and saw her master stare at her from above.

The arm moved away as Gohan inspected his arm and a chuckle escaped from him rattling the world. “This feels odd, completely different in comparison to Super Saiyan…If a moon was always out I think I would be able to live like this forever I feel no drain, no physical strain at all…it feels like when I am normal.” Gohan said as Vermont nodded.

“Indeed, this is just another state of being for you, I found out that Saiyans are capable of living as giant monkey like creatures or humanoids so in theory right now you should still be capable of transforming into this forms Super Saiyan state.” He explained as Gohan looked at him surprised.

“Really?” He asked as Vermont nodded. “The kai who created your species seemed to classify Saiyans as a Super Evolved species with limitless potential, there are very few Super Evolved species in existence but I believe those Kryptonian’s are among them along with that dark haired lady you seem fond of.” Vermont casually let out as Gohan visibly stumbled at that.

“Doesn’t milord wear his heart on his sleeve Lady Strix?” He asked as she nodded but was taken aback.

“Lady? Me?” She asked as he nodded.

“You are Lord Gohan’s most trusted subordinate, well you are the only one but you understand.” She just nodded slowly.

Ahem! Gohan cleared his throat. “I had no idea Saiyans were a Super Evolved species, I knew Kryptonians were but not Saiyans.”

“Well, Saiyans aren’t natives of the 21st universe so they aren’t documented here but I checked godwiki and there are very few Super Evolved species.” Vermont explained as he glanced at Strix, her turquoise skin and short purple hair standing out.

“Alright well, I am going to try Super Saiyan as a Great Ape.” He said as Strix and Vermont backed up. “This might be dangerous so protect Strix.” Gohan informed as Vermont nodded.

Gohan positioned himself and started summoning the legendary transformation but something seemed to snap in him as the rage of Super Saiyan burst open and a bright golden light shown.

When the light cleared a golden great ape was present and it was furious as it beat its chest and charged towards Vermont and Strix but Vermont quickly intercepted him and knocked him away.

“He is quite powerful right now, not Super Saiyan God level or near his Mystic strength it’s almost like his great ape strength multiplier has multiplied by the same increase as Super Saiyan.” He mused to himself.

“I don’t understand.” Strix commented as Vermont thought of another way to explain.

“Think of it this way, Lord Gohan can multiply his strength with transformations, the very first and weakest is the Great ape state and beyond that is Super Saiyan and as you heard from Lord Gohan himself that Super Saiyan is better in every way possible but because Great ape is considered a natural state for saiyans it isn’t technically a transformation just more of him?” He said hoping he wasn’t losing her.

“As far as I can tell his strength only increases tenfold when he becomes a great ape but with Super Saiyan it becomes fiftyfold now if you take those multipliers and put them together it would become far greater.” He finished as she slowly nodded understanding.

“So currently this Golden…uhm Great Ape state is multiplying the multipliers?” She asked as he nodded.

“Correct, that would make him 500x times stronger than normal right now.” He explained as she nodded.

“Incredible, he can multiply his strength so easily.” She said as he nodded.

“Saiyan’s are among the first species that utilize transformations to boost their every combat attribute, they are a warrior species after all.” He said as she nodded.

But a frown appeared on his face as Gohan charged a blast in his mouth and aimed it at them. “He is using energy of destruction even better than when he is in control and at full power…if he releases that the multiverse will be in danger.” He quickly reappeared above the Golden Great ape and chopped him on the neck knocking him unconscious before returning back to normal.

“His usage of destruction as a golden great ape is far superior to when he is normal, the only thing on his mind is destruction, true unstoppable destruction that will annihilate anything and everything in its path.” Vermont theorized as he smirked. “A true destroyer god in the making!”

Gohan slowly sat up rubbing his head. “What happened?” He asked.

“You transformed successfully but you lost your sense of reason again.” Vermont explained.

“Yea…I get overwhelmed by anger.” Gohan ended with a sigh.

“Why not ask a saiyan from Planet Vegeta to help you? They might know a method that can help you.” Vermont said.

Gohan didn’t respond instantly but nodded as he thought back to his conversation with Diana. “Let’s go, I want to meet my family.” He said as he looked at Strix.

“Continue with your Ki training until we return.” He said as she nodded just as they disappeared in a flash of white light.

Back on New Vegeta Bardock just dodged a punch from both Raditz and Kakarot and kneed Raditz before back handing Kakarot into the ground.

“You two have a long way to go if you want to become Super Saiyans.” He commented as he pointed to Gine.

“Your mother has a higher battle power than you two.” He teased with a smirk as Kakarot rolled his eyes.

“I didn’t pick a weakling did I Kakarot?” A saiyan female asked with a raised eyebrow as Kakarot waved her off.

“Oh come on I am son of Bardock, general of the Saiyan army and the only 3rd class to rise to super elite and become the legendary super saiyan.” Kakarot listed off as Bardock smacked him over the head.

“You speak like those are your achievements. Did it ever occur to you that you might be an accident?” Bardock asked with a shit-eating grin as Raditz burst into laughter.

“Don’t say such things Bardock.” Gine said as she lightly smacked him before grinning. “Even if it is true.” She finished as Kakarot lightly glared at his family before making eye contact with his mate who smiled at him and winked.

“At least my mate doesn’t betray me!” He said as he sat down next to her and watch his family laugh.

“You chose a good one.” Bardock said.

“We just like to tease Kakarot because he is the youngest in the family.” Gine said as she sat down next to her.

“How many more days until Taron leaves his incubator?” Gine asked.

“About ten days.” She answered as Gine nodded but before they could continue a white flash of light caught their eyes as Kakarot shot up to his feet at the sight.

“Looks like Lord Gohan has returned.” Bardock said as he glanced at this family.

Gohan appeared above the palace alerting the guards as they floated down all the guards bowed as Gohan entered just in time to see King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta waiting for him.

“Greetings my lord, what brings you to Planet Vegeta?” King Vegeta asked as Gohan arrived in front of him.

“I am looking for a Saiyan…no I am looking for general Bardock.” Gohan said as King Vegeta nodded and turned and spoke to a super elite.

“Summon general Bardock this moment!” He ordered as the super elite nodded and left.

“You see, I am trying to master a new level of power and seeing as I don’t know much about my saiyan side I would like someone to explain some stuff back on my world.” Gohan explained.

Bardock continued his spar with his sons and dodged another punch but stopped when he saw a super elite appear near them.

“Lord Gohan and King Vegeta are summoning you general!” The super elite said as he turned and left.

Bardock stood there stunned as he glanced at them all before flying off leaving them all anxious.

“I wonder what Lord Gohan wants with him?” Garlia asked but no one answered, she was aware of the rumors but they were just rumors…right?

When he arrived he saw King Vegeta, Prince Vegeta and Lord Gohan staring at him as he entered. “How can I be of service my lord?” He asked and bowed.

“I need someone to help me master a new level of power that ties closely to our great ape states and Super Saiyan is involved.” Gohan explained. “Normally I would just do it myself but I do have some words I would like to say to you and the rest of your family.” Gohan explained as Bardock just nodded unsure of what to say to that.

“We will be leaving.” Gohan informed everyone as he turned and walked away Bardock glanced at King Vegeta who shrugged before he turned and followed Gohan.

Once they exited Gohan flew towards Gine, Kakarot, Raditz and Garlia’s location and Bardock just flew side by side.

“I wonder what that was about?” Garlia asked. “I hope Lord Gohan doesn’t kill Bardock.”

“You and me both.” Raditz chimed in as they noticed three beings flying towards them when they arrived they could make out Bardock, a blue skinned man that was dressed strangely and a God of Destruction.

They quickly bowed as Gohan landed and walked up to them, it was dead silent as Gohan relaxed and smiled. “My mother would kill me if she saw this.” He said as he walked up to Gine and placed his hand on her shoulder.

“Stand, all of you.” He said as they just slowly stood up.

“I know I make you all nervous but you can relax I am not here to hurt any of you.” Gohan said, he could tell they were still somewhat unsure. “I am not here as a God of Destruction, I am here to meet my family or at least what’s left of it.” He said but was taken by surprise as Gine tackled him with a bear hug.

“Gine!” Bardock called out very nervous at the action but stopped when he saw Gohan hug her back.

“I told you Bardock!” She said as she smiled which caused Gohan to chuckle as he looked over at kakarot, Raditz and Garlia who were still.

Garlia’s jaw dropped open in surprise as Kakarot placed his hand under her chin and closed her mouth. “I thought they were just rumors…”

“Father…” Gohan started. “No, well Kakarot I’ll call you that if you don’t mind?” Gohan asked as Kakarot just nodded slowly.

“I have so many questions.” Gine started but Gohan just raised his hand.

“Why don’t we catch up on my world? You never know who is watching, come stand behind Vermont.” Gohan explained as she nodded slowly.

“Hear that Kakarot your son has his own planet.” Raditz teased as Kakarot rolled his eyes as Gohan motioned for them to come closer but he made eye contact with a different female saiyan he didn’t recognize and Kakarot noticed this.

“This is my mate…” He answered. “Garlia.” As she came closer to Gohan who seemed to be boring a hole through her head with his gaze and it made her extremely nervous, the rumors must have been true, what if he killed her just because she wasn’t his mother but she quickly steeled herself, there was absolutely nothing she could do but she would be damned if he saw her acting like a coward.

“You look like my mother...” Gohan said stunning her. “Really?” She asked as Gohan just nodded and motioned for her to come closer while staring at her before he eventually stopped staring.

Once they were positioned around Vermont they flew off in a white light. “Incredible…” Kakarot murmured as he looked around.

“I would advise not letting go of the person you are holding.” Vermont cautioned, he could tell Kakarot’s hand was loosening, that seemed to do the trick.

“Falling off will release you into space, you will either collide with a planet or a star at speeds that makes light look like it’s stationary.” Gohan explained as everyone unconsciously held on tighter.

When they arrived a Ki blast struck a moon nearby blowing it to pieces as she noticed the group and bowed. “Welcome my lord.” Strix greeted them as Raditz was mesmorized by her face. ‘What beauty…’

Gohan’s face turned but he didn’t say anything.

“You are making good progress keep up the good work.” Gohan praised her as he patted her head she nodded and charged more blasts and went off to train some more.

“Let’s head into the castle.” Gohan said as they flew towards the giant tree.

“This is my home currently.” Gohan explained as they entered the tree castle, the saiyans stared at everything, all the crystals that gave off light and the large halls and the intricate details and designs of the castle were amazing.

“This is certainly an impressive castle my lord.” Gine said as Gohan smiled.

“You can just call me Gohan when we are alone like this.” He informed her as she nodded. “You all can.” Gohan extended the courtesy to everyone present as they entered a dining hall.

Gohan made his way to the head of the table and sat down as everyone followed suit as food magically appeared on the table. “You don’t have to hold yourselves back, eat as much as you want.” He said as they nodded and started eating.

“I am sure you all have questions so let me hear them?” He said as they all suddenly stopped eating but no one said anything.

“Alright, what happened to Kakarot back in your universe?” Gine asked as Kakarot chipped in.

“Did I achieve Super Saiyan as well?” He asked with a straight face but it was easy to tell he was eager to hear the answer.

“Well, I’ll start with grandmother’s question.” He started. “Well back in my universe God of Destruction Lord Beerus woke up and came looking for a Super Saiyan God.” Gohan started explaining everything.

“And after that I fought Beerus and landed in this universe.” Gohan explained after ten minutes of talking but everyone at that point had stopped eating.

“Oh and yes, dad did achieve Super Saiyan he was the first Super Saiyan in over a thousand years and then he taught me how to use it as well.” Gohan explained as Kakarot’s jaw clenched.

“So some crazy god just kills everyone blows up the planet just because he was scared…what a coward!” Kakarot growled as Gohan smiled at him.

“I plan on teaching him a stern lesson once I am strong enough.” Gohan said as he leaned back.

“You mean he is stronger than you?” Garlia asked surprised.

“Yes, we’re not even in the same league.” Gohan nodded. “Beerus the destroyer is one of the four most powerful destroyer gods alive.”

“How many of them are there?” Bardock asked.

“Well in this multiverse there are 18 destroyer gods with me included and in our sister multiverse there are 12 universes with a 13th being created as we speak.” Gohan explained stunning them slightly. “They have 12 destroyer gods and Beerus just so happens to be one of the strongest.

“Oh and do not tell anyone this information.” Gohan said as they nodded slowly.

“I need your help with something.” Gohan said as he made eye contact with Bardock. “You might even become far more powerful as well.”

This caught everyones attention but mostly Bardock. “I need help mastering my great ape form.” Gohan said which caused confusion.

“You cannot control your great ape form?” Garlia asked somewhat surprised, literally everyone here could control themselves.

But Gohan shook his head. “No, I mean Golden Great ape.” Gohan started. “It’s Great Ape but with Super Saiyan, maybe you have some advice or techniques on how I can remain conscious.” Gohan said stunning them.

“Golden Great Ape?” Gine questioned as she tried to imagine what that would look like.

“When we’re done eating I’ll show you.” Gohan said as they nodded and continued eating.

“That settles it, I will also get Super Saiyan!” Kakarot vowed as Gohan just smiled and looked at him.

“You must really miss your father.” Bardock said as he took a bite out of a piece of meat as Gohan glanced at him and nodded slowly.

“He was the strongest man in the universe at one point, he unlocked Super Saiyan and the levels above it.”

“WHAT!?” Raditz exclaimed surprised as Garlia chocked on some food.

“Levels above it?” Gine questioned as Gohan nodded.

“As you know he was the first Super Saiyan but he realized that I was destined to be the one to unlock the next stage, I told you I unlocked Super Saiyan at 11, but I also achieved Super Saiyan 2 a few months later.”

“Super Saiyan is categorized in grades, the higher the grade the stronger you are, right now according to Vermont I am working on Grade 7.” Gohan said stunning them even more.

“What grade am I?” Bardock asked as he got up and walked over to an empty spot and transformed surprising everyone.

“That feels like Grade 1.” Gohan commented as his hair floated upwards turning blond but far more detailed than Bardock’s.

“This is grade 4.” As he transformed further but creating no disturbances besides a few zaps of electricity. “This is grade 5, I would show you grade 6 but the only person to ever use it was my father I never needed it because I had something stronger.

This seemed to really shine a new light on Gohan and his father to them and they were really in awe at the father and son.

“My father revealed Super Saiyan 3 or Super Saiyan grade 6.” Gohan smiled as he thought back to the time he sensed his father’s energy across the entire universe. “You know he was so powerful that I could sense him across the universe, as a mortal he had surpassed the Supreme Kais by a significant margin, an ancient demon called Majin Buu who almost destroyed the entire universe was his only equal he defeated a lot of powerful bad guys and saved the universe many times, enough to be granted a special pardon in death to return to the living world for one day.”

Garlia looked at Kakarot who seemed to be listening intently. “You have big shows to fill apparently.” She commented as Kakarot chuckled nervously, he thought Super Saiyan would be enough but this legacy, this legendary warrior who was him sounded like a summit he might never be able to reach no matter how hard he tried and Garlia could read his expression fairly easily as she sighed and gently patted his back before she returned to eating.

“That reminds me, who is your mother?” Gine asked as Garlia choked on her drink.

Gohan thought back. “Hold on, I can show you my family.”

“Close your eyes.” He said as they all nodded and memories of his life on earth flashed by, a picture of Gohan as a kid being held by a woman with black hair with a loving smile on her face as Goku entered the flash and ruffled Gohan’s hair the image faded and Goten appeared behind them but this time he was on Goku’s shoulder’s as a Super Saiyan and a peace sign, Garlia was stunned to see a woman who looked somewhat similar to her.

“Oh that’s Goten, my little brother.” Gohan explained as Bardock just watched in silence.

“He’s a Super Saiyan!?” Raditz uttered he was completely bewildered and the kid’s energy signature was stronger than Bardock’s full power.

“Yeah, he doesn’t remember the first time he transformed into a Super Saiyan but since he was five he was capable of doing it.” The saiyans couldn’t believe their ears.

“Your family is full of Super Saiyans, your genes must be amazing.” Garlia remarked.

“Well we weren’t the only Super Saiyans around, Prince Vegeta was my father’s rival when my father attained it Vegeta trained himself half to death to achieve the legend as well and his son also achieved it at a young age.” Gohan explained.

“Of course the royal family would also be Super Saiyans.” Kakarot said.

“My mother’s name was Chi Chi she was a human, she was the only person my father was ever afraid of.” Gohan said as he smiled sadly at the memories. “But she wasn’t really strong, she actually didn’t want me to become a fighter.”

Kakarot stared at the image of Chi Chi, the woman his counter part had a child with, he turned and smiled at Garlia. “Don’t go getting jealous now.” He teased as she rolled her eyes.

“You have no right to say that, besides her and I look kind of similar and I am sure I have a higher battle power so really the only one lacking is you.” She said with a small smile as Raditz started laughing.

“You can never beat her can you?” Kakarot just clenched his fist as a vein appeared on his forehead.

“Oh shut it! Our fights always end in a draw! She can’t beat me either!” He retorted as she shrugged with a smug grin.

“If I recall I did win one of the fights.” She said as Kakarot was about to protest but suddenly blushed and glared at her as Gohan started laughing at Kakarot’s misfortune.

‘I just hope this isn’t too much for Gohan, seeing his father with another female.’ Gine thought.

“I can tell you two love one another.” Gohan smiled fondly. “Reminds me of my dad and mother, your son is very lucky.” Gohan stated stunning Kakarot and Garlia.

“I might not be your real father Gohan, but I can tell you that I am sure your father must be extremely proud of you.” Kakarot said as Gohan stopped eating and looked at Kakarot and nodded slowly before he continued eating again.

“Well at least my grandson won’t be such a disappointment.” Bardock said as Kakarot scoffed.

“Just you wait, I’ll be a Super Saiyan soon!” Kakarot promised.

“Your power level right now is too low right now.” Gohan said stunning them. “I can tell you are around 2,500 but grandfather has a power level about ten times greater than yours so it would be around 25,000.” Gohan said as he turned to Bardock.

“Am I right?” He asked as Bardock slowly nodded. “When you become a Super Saiyan it becomes a million, but for Super Saiyan to become truly effective you need a base power level of over a million.” He explained.

“Wait a base power level of a million?” Kakarot asked surprised and extremely intimidated at that.

“What’s your base power?” Garlia asked as they all looked at Gohan.

“Mine? I honestly have no idea, but the last time it was scanned was when I was on a planet called Namek and since then I have grown tremendously more powerful.”

“Then what was that?” Gine asked next. “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell us but I am just interested.” She continued as Gohan leaned back and looked at Vermont.

“Could you check through my memories and give us an accurate number?” He asked as Vermont nodded as his staff appeared and they could see Gohan on a planet with blue grass and a green sky with a lizard like being getting over powered by him.

“You were five and a half years old here, your battle prowess as a numerical value during this time was around six hundred thousand but it would periodically rise to about one million five hundred thousand.” Vermont explained. “That Frieza fellow was still stronger in his third form, he was at two million.”

Gohan nodded. “Yeah that’s why dad was still stronger than Frieza until he used 50% of his full power.”

“Hold on!” You mean to tell me you had such a ridiculous battle power at five years old?” Raditz question with a sweat drop on his forehead completely blown away.

“If I had to make an assumption of milords currently battle power it would be a very big number.” Vermont said as Garlia leaned forward even more interested at that.

“Come on! You can’t say that and not say it!” She urged as everyone just nodded slowly still trying to accept that Gohan as a kid was more powerful than Bardock at full power.

“Well that Frieza fellow at full power had a power of one hundred and twenty million and Gohan’s father at Super Saiyan was at one hundred and fifty million after that you guys fought andriods, when you fought perfect cell your base strength was seven million this was when he was 11.” Vermont explained as Gohan listened he was also interested now, he knew Vermont was amazing but this was awesome.

“You barely trained for seven years so your power only increased due to maturity but your potential is extremely high, so when you where 18 years old your base power was around sixty million.” Vermont explained as he looked at Gohan through his staff.

“At your full power during the time Lord Beerus attacked your home your battle power was sixty billion with your mystic power, it makes you a thousand times stronger.” Silence seemed to enter the conversation as everyone just listened to the ridiculous power level Gohan has.

“Hold on your power just seems to shoot up almost like you were never meant to be normal.” Bardock said as Gohan chuckled.

“Well I trained like my life depended on it for the first eleven years with a Super Saiyan as a master so my power gains were tremendous.”

Everyone nodded, it makes sense a Super Saiyan teaching you would be incredible as Vermont continued.

“From what I can tell, when you became a Super Saiyan God your power rose to two hundred billion and rose rapidly to around five hundred billion and since then your power has risen significantly since you absorbed the god power you are now at around five trillion while heavily suppressed, your maximum output would be Super Saiyan Rose mixed with your Mystic form, as you all know his Mystic strength makes him a thousand times stronger but if you mix it with Rose that becomes fifty thousand times stronger at around two hundred and fifty quadrillion this is still while not at full power, his full power lies somewhere even higher but I think a good dose of mystery is fine.” He explained.

“I wasn’t expecting it to be that high…” Garlia muttered feeling very nervous now.

“Say…what is Beerus’s power level…if you know.” Gohan asked suddenly.

“Lord Beerus as far as I can remember was around two sextillion but even then he was suppressed.” Vermont explained.

“I guess he is still someone too strong for me.” He said as he stood up surprising everyone.

“Let’s go outside, I wanna show you what I am struggling with.” Gohan said as they all stood up and followed him outside.

When they exited they flew over to an empty area as Gohan nodded and everyone backed up as Vermont created blutz waves triggering a transformation in Gohan who grew to a titanic size.

“He is massive…” Garlia commented as Bardock nodded.

“He is twenty meters taller than even I am as a Great ape.”

“Alright so the hard part starts now.” Gohan said as he prepared himself to transform. “Protect them.” Gohan ordered as Vermont nodded as a golden aura erupted and a wave of pure energy slammed into them stunning them in place.

Before them a roar erupted that vibrated their entire bodies erupted as the light cleared glowing red eyes could be seen as the dust cleared revealing Golden Great Ape Gohan with his God of Destruction attire.

“That is a terrifying sight.” Kakarot remarked as the planet started shaking. “It’s almost tangible.”

Another roar was released as he opened his mouth and a orb of destruction appeared but Vermont appeared behind him and struck him in the back knocking Gohan over who just got up and charged at Vermont with a purple glowing aura.

“You seem to become more hellbent on destruction when you become like this…seems you must first master your destroyer power completely before you can take more steps forward.” He mused to himself.

Gohan roared in anger as he charged his ki but his form started distorting as his fur started turning a darker hue mixing with purple as a destroyer markings appeared on the great ape’s chest as he dug deeper and deeper in himself.

‘I was planning on knocking him out but this is the first time I have ever seen him truly desire pure destruction, he is evolving into a true destroyer because of his saiyan instincts.’ Vermont mused as he cast a barrier over the group as Strix made her way over but was halted by Vermont who signaled for her to remain far away.

Everything around them started to rumble and shake as reality started to peel away around them with purple sparkles seemingly destroying everything indiscriminately.

“This is insane!” Kakarot said as he watched reality fall apart as Vermont blocked the attack and gut checked the giant ape knocking it over making him angrier as his fur was now a darker golden purple shade as purple and golden lightning beat the sky and the ground creating ripple effects.

“Do you think with this power you will be able to defeat Lord Beerus my lord?” Vermont suddenly asked just as the fist was about to make contact with him but it stopped as Gohan stared at him intently.

“He killed your family and friends yet you only wish to beat him within an inch of his life and not kill him?” Vermont as Gohan growled at him.

“I CANNOT KILL ANOTHER GOD WITHOUT PERMISSION MY TITLE WOULD BECOME VOID IN THE EYES OF THE GODS!” He roared angrily as Vermont smiled.

‘A doorway to his conscious mind…I was right.’ He thought as he blocked a punch from Gohan’s large fist with his finger before punching Gohan back, he looked at the group of saiyans before reappearing in front of them.

“I have a plan, something that may help him overcome his problem, are you willing to help?” He asked as they just nodded. “Anything!” Gine said as he nodded and disappeared.

“If you cannot even make me try then Lord Beerus will do what he did your family again.” He provoked as Gine was suddenly in his hand being held by her neck surprised.

“What are you doing?” She suddenly realized what he meant by help she was a sacrifice but Vermonts grip was frozen around her neck as he squeezed a little tighter as she started panicking.

“You said anything.” He smiled at her as she kicked his chest in an attempt to be set free but nothing, Bardock transformed into a Super Saiyan and tried to escape the barrier but to no avail.

“I didn’t mean this!” She choked out.

“GINE! NO!” He screamed as Raditz and Kakarot powered up in a fit of rage.

Just as Gohan got up he saw Gine being held captive as he growled and was about to charge forward but a snapping sound was heard as Gine’s body went limp stunning everyone, Gohan dropped to his knees at the sight, something clicking in his head as he dropped to his knees.

“What a shame I really thought that would have snapped you out of your enraged state.” He said as Gohan’s great ape body began to tremble as he grew angrier.

“Gine!” Bardock yelled as she was suddenly in the barrier.

Kakarot, Raditz and Garlia were in shock and somewhat fearful of what just happened, were their lives nothing, did it mean nothing? Were they next?

“I guess we have to try with another one.” He said as Kakarot was now in his hand.

“Let go of him Vermont! I ordered you to protect them!” He screamed in fury as he charged forward but was stopped when Vermont started laughing and released Kakarot.

“Wha…” Gohan questioned as he looked on angrily. “You will pay for killing my grandmother Vermont!” He roared as someone flew in front of him.

“I’m fine Gohan! I’m fine!” Gine called out as he struggled to figure out what was going on but Vermont spoke.

“She was fine all along my lord, I just knocked her out that’s all.” He explained as she nodded.

“It didn’t even hurt.” She reassured him as he seemed to calm down before he realized something.

“Wait, I am able to think…” He said as Vermont nodded.

“Indeed, I created greater anger in you and extinguished your reason for anger by returning the person whom your anger was attached to.” He explained.

But suddenly Gohan felt weird as he flew down to one knee as a golden purple aura surrounded him as lightning pulsed around him.

He started to rapidly decrease in size as he seemed to return to his roots in his mind, his saiyan blood pulsating as purple sparkles seemed to rain and everything it touched turned to dust as a violent roar escaped shaking the entire universe.

When the dust cleared Gohan was standing tall while staring at his hands in awe of the power he felt, it made his Mystic power feel like nothing, he had crimson red fur all over his body and his hair was black and spiky but the thing that stood out the most was that he felt no strain on his body at all, he felt natural.

“What is that?” Raditz asked shocked as Vermont clapped.

“Congratulations on attaining Super Saiyan 4 my lord.” Vermont said as Gohan looked at him and Gine who was now directly in front of him with proud eyes.

“If I had to mix this with my destroyer ki and my Mystic strength I’d be nearly stoppable.” He mused as Vermont nodded.

“Indeed, your Mystic strength would greatly amplify this form, you would become about a thousand times stronger, your potential is truly frightening my lord.” He praised.

“Super Saiyan 4?” Kakarot mused as he stared slack jawed at the pinnacle of saiyan power.

“Does that mean I can get this form too?” Bardock asked as Vermont turned and nodded.

“Super Saiyan 4 seems like you do not need to have access to the first three forms as Lord Gohan skipped the third form entirely, you just need to be able to turn into a Super Saiyan as a great ape.” He explained as Bardock nodded but deflated.

“I would like to get this power as well but no one would be able to stop me if I went berserk on Planet Vegeta.” He explained as Gohan walked up to him while still in Super Saiyan 4 the ground seemed to tremble with each step.

“Not a problem I can help you here while I train to become stronger as well.” Gohan said as Bardock nodded suddenly pumped but Gohan turned to Vermont.

“I was sure you had snapped her neck.” He said.

“Some trickery is very easy especially when you’re in such a volatile state of mind.” Vermont responded.

“Would you like to test that new power my lord?” He asked as Gohan grinned. “Gladly.” As he disappeared with Vermont and shock waves shook everything around them as Gohan was launched into orbit before he stabilized himself and charged at Vermont again who smiled and blocked his attack.

They continued this for five minutes before stopping as Gohan returned to the group with scratches covering him as he powered down.

“You’re incredible…” Kakarot commented as everyone nodded.

“This power is amazing and it did give me an idea for the future.” He remarked.

Soon an entire week had passed, Gohan as a Super Saiyan 4 sat with his legs crossed as he meditated with Bardock who was currently in his Super Saiyan form, Kakarot, Garlia, Raditz and Gine were still normal.

Raditz was the first to lean back exhausted with Kakarot following soon after Garlia, Gine and Bardock remained far longer but ultimately Gine gave out next.

Bardock remained for many more hours meditating but also gave out and dropped out of Super Saiyan, he seemed even more tired than the others.

“It seems you all lost against milord while training in your mind.” Vermont said. “Now, come at me with everything you have.” He commanded as they quickly charged at him.

Strix was further away from them as she charged a massive ki ball in her hands and held it for as long as she could, her palms started to burn as she strained and released the blast towards a moon but the blast just evaporated the small celestial body before flying off into the universe and ultimately exploding taking out several planets.

She quickly got into a fighting stance as she dodged an invisible enemy and moved at full speed but was surprised to find Gohan in front of her in a fighting stance.

“Come at me.” He commanded as she nodded and charged at him punching at his face but the blow was blocked shattering the ground as she vanished in a blur of speed appearing behind Gohan and aiming a kick towards his mid section which he blocked but to his surprise he felt a tiny amount of pressure almost like a feather tickling him as he grabbed her leg swinging her around before slamming her into the ground.

But she recovered almost instantly aiming a sneaky ki blast at his face surprising him as she got free and aimed a heavy punch at his chest just for him to redirect her momentum leaving her open, he landed a brutal blow to her solar plexis winding her and dropping her to the ground.

“Very good, your strength is definitely increasing, you could take on Darkseid right now and you two would be about even.” Gohan commented as she sat up and bowed.

Vermont appeared and in the distance you could see the saiyans on the ground panting heavily. “My lord, you are expected on planet Evonia.” Vermont reminded him as Gohan nodded.

“I had completely forgotten about the feast they must have expected us a week or so ago.” He said as made his way towards the tree castle. “We are done for now.” Gohan announced. “Rest up! You all are free to stay or have Vermont return you to Planet Vegeta for now.”

“Oh and Bardock, don’t train alone rather have Vermont or I nearby.” Gohan said as Bardock nodded.

“We will remain here for three more days.” Kakarot said.

“Taron will be coming out of his incubator in three days.” Garlia reminded everyone.

“That’s right your son will officially be born.” Gohan said as he started floating and looked over at Strix.

“Come on you are coming with.” Gohan said as he ruffled her hair she nodded and took off after Gohan towards his castle as Gohan watched her retreating figure with a smile.

After thirty minutes Gohan sat in his dining hall as he ate alone while looking through some paperwork with a list of planets, it was eerily quiet until footsteps caught his attention, it was Gine.

“Hello grandson.” She said as she took a seat near him.

“Grandma.” Gohan greeted with a smile. “What can I help you with?” Gohan asked as she stared at the pile of paperwork as Gohan frowned at some text he was reading. ‘Another universe eater…’

“That’s obnoxious…” Gohan muttered as he placed the paper down giving Gine his full attention.

“You know it’s like a dream, never in a million years did I think I would be sitting at the dining table of a god of destruction and my grandson no less.” She said.

“It’s just as crazy for me believe me.” Gohan said.

“Well, I want to ask you something…” She started. “I would like to become your subordinate, like Strix.” She asked stunning Gohan slightly.

“Why? What made you come to this idea?” Gohan asked.

“I just want to be around you more and I doubt that will happen very often once I leave here.” She explained.

Gohan nodded before leaning back thinking it over. “I would be delighted…” Gohan started and Gine could already tell he was hesitating.

“But?” She asked already knowing it would come.

“But, you’re my grandmother, Bardock is my grandfather, Kakarot is my father…kind of, and Raditz is well my uncle I don’t want to use my family as a fighting force especially if you guys are still so weak.” Gohan pointed out.

“If you came across someone as strong as Darkseid or even weaker I’d lose you all instantly.” Gohan explained as she nodded.

“Maybe so but we can become stronger.” She said as Gohan looked at her a bit seriously.

“We?” He asked.

“Yes.” Kakarot said as they entered the dining hall, now it made sense they all must have been conspiring as they bowed before him.

“It would be our honor to stay by your side!” Bardock spoke.

“Rise all of you.” Gohan said as they stood upright as Strix and Vermont entered.

A few seconds of silence passed by before Gohan spoke again. “Alright, but only if you can push me like Strix can.” Gohan said.

“That’s easy!” Raditz cut in as Gohan looked at Vermont.

“Alright then, this is the level I want you to be before you can be considered strong enough to be a subordinate of a God of Destruction.” Gohan said as he looked at Vermont.

“She is ready my lord.” Vermont said with a satisfied smile. “She has stabilized her Ki, you have a very sharp eye for talent.”

“Do you all know why I choose Strix as my head warrior?” Gohan asked as he looked at Strix. “Give me your all, fight me as if I was the person who killed your last remaining family member.” Gohan ordered, she was confused but an order was an order as a green fire aura burst around her before she snap vanished shattering the ground, her speed surprised even Gohan as she was suddenly on him with her fist cocked back.

She punched forward as Gohan tilted his head to the side surprised as she kneed at him just for him to block it but the force knocked Gohan into the air as she followed up with a Ki blast that exploded at point blank violently blasting the destroyer god into the sky with scratches covering his body as Gohan grunted and looked down at her but she was already in front of him as they went back and forth as their fists clashed creating a horrifying shock waves that ripped planets apart as Gohan blocked her punch before throwing his own just to be met with an equal force but this time Vermont frowned.

“You all come here.” He said as they complied while watching as a short silver skinned being with a mohawk appeared. “Greetings Vermont, what is Lord Gohan doing?” The universe cannot handle this kind of punishment.” Makaiya said concerned as Vermont smiled.

“No need to be concerned Supreme Kai, Lord Gohan is aware.” Vermont reminded him.

“This is the Supreme Kai Makaiya, or as you know the god of creation.” Vermont explained to the Saiyans who just bowed to him, Makaiya acknowledged them and turned back to the fight.

Gohan broke through her defence just to land a solid right hook to her that launched her into the nearest moon she flipped and landed on the moon just to launch off of it breaking it in half as she reappeared next to Gohan before slamming her elbow into his temple parting the clouds in the sky as she landed a solid punch into his gut before spinning and coating her leg with ki as she kicked slamming into Gohan blasting him into space and through another moon just as she appeared above him and tried to drop kick him but he smirked and vanished above her and grabbed her head and flung her towards a planet just to watch her skid off the top of the world breaking it in half.

She quickly composed herself as she spat out blood, Gohan appeared in front of her and landed a right hook stunning her as he blocked her counter and landed a vicious haymaker but she rolled with it turning and kicking Gohan in the face just as she jumped back and charged a blast before throwing it at Gohan who smirked and dodged the blast just to turn into her fist slamming into his face knocking him into the sky he recovered fairly fast and noticed she was charging a considerably powerful blast to which he started charging his own but when he was about to release it the blast from earlier slammed into the back of his head stunning him momentarily as the main blast made its way towards Gohan bathing the entire planet in green ki before a massive shock wave rattled everything around them.

The saiyans uncovered their eyes slack jawed at the battle as Gohan clapped at Strix who was panting. “You are leagues stronger than before.” He praised as she bowed but she was surprised and for some reason he could tell, her eyes trailed back to the absolute destruction their spar created, multiple planets and moons where shattered and destroyed simply because of impact.

“You surprised?” Gohan asked as she nodded. “I was expecting Ki to boost my strength but not to this extent.” She remarked.

“And you say I can infinitely get stronger as long as I train my ki?” She asked as Gohan nodded.

“I am the perfect example of that.” Gohan said as she powered down. “Folians are certainly strong.” Gohan said as she nodded.

“My people are capable of incredible growth in any area we apply ourselves to, Master Vermont has been trying to get me to use all my knowledge in battle as a means to counter my lack of emotions.” She answered as they landed back on the ground near everyone.

“In fact we are considered by many to be the perfect specimens.” She explained, it sounded almost like pride. “I am efficient in combat, health knowledge, agricultural resource and management and I was once head of advanced science and technology on Dionysis.”

“You know all of that stuff?” Garlia asked surprised as she nodded. “Well to be fair Strix has been amazing since I met her.”

“I am the only Folian that was purchased by the Eve Empire as we catch an extremely high price.” She explained.

“You were bought?” Gohan asked, this was news to him.

“What happened to your people?” Bardock asked as he stepped forward.

“Where are the rest being held?” Gine asked, she sounded angrily, the saiyans present had taken quite a liking to Strix while they were training.

Strix shrugged. “I am fairly certain we are nearly extinct there are around five hundred of us left, we are all privately owned property.” She said. “We were feared by many civilizations.”

“Doesn’t that anger you?” Garlia asked her. “I know I would be if the saiyans were driven to extinction and used as slaves.”

“I was once angry and full of hate but that has since changed.” She explained.

“What changed?” Garila asked, she was genuinely curious on how she lost her anger at the inhumane treatment of her people.

“She was robbed of her emotions by her previous master.” Gohan explained as he walked up to Strix and patted her head, she was quickly becoming a little sister to him. “And I can’t fix it.”

“...what a bastard.” Kakarot remarked.
