You look at the history of all the universes, and you\u2019ll find that only tyrants say that and I don\u2019t wanna be a tyrant. I\u2019ve made mistakes and I learned from them. You\u2019d be wise to learn from yours, Whis, not just cover them up in our usual indifference to mortals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDONE!\u201d called the Doctor. Everyone gave their attention to her and Kirby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll done!\u201d confirmed Kirby. He then spotted Grand Zeno. \u201cOh! Hi!\u201d The Doctor looked up and goggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cG-Grand Zeno?!\u201d she yelped. \u201cS-Sir, this matter with Cell is just a mortal trifle-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know,\u201d replied Grand Zeno. \u201cI\u2019m gonna be going anyways. Beerus and Whis just needed to know that what you and Kirby said about me was right.\u201d The Doctor smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVery kind of you to say, Grand Zeno,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, before I go, Doctor,\u201d Grand Zeno handed the Doctor a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey! You can visit him too!\u201d called Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, Goku, this is different to the button I gave you,\u201d corrected Grand Zeno. \u201cIt\u2019s only for emergencies that the rest of the gods and I think require a mortal touch, and the Grouping is one such mess. It only works in your TARDIS, Doctor. Press the green button when it flashes to get the briefing of whatever trouble we need your help with and press the yellow button to get to the spot where that trouble started. Squeeze the border of the device to teleport you back into this universe wherever you started once the trouble is over and you\u2019re back in your TARDIS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou of all people are asking for my help?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cThe Grouping MUST be bad, then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the meantime, if you\u2019re really done with your machine,\u201d said Grand Zeno, \u201cyou\u2019d better get on with it. I\u2019ll see you around, Doctor!\u201d He then vanished, leaving Whis and Beerus very shaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Well, it came from your highest superior, you two,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cPerfection is best left for tyrants to flail around for. \u2026Speaking of tyrants, we need to get to Cell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI got a lock on him!\u201d called Goku. \u201cHe\u2019s outside of South City! Everyone, grab ahold!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh no, you don\u2019t, Kakarot!\u201d protested Vegeta. \u201cI\u2019m not doing that instant-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome on, Vegeta! We can\u2019t always rely on Whis!\u201d argued Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoku, what is Vegeta talking about?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy Instant Transmission technique,\u201d replied Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026That\u2019s a Yardrat technique! How did you-?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a long story,\u201d interrupted Goku. \u201cLet\u2019s just go. Everyone, get close!\u201d Everyone gathered near to Goku and put a hand on him. Goku then put his pointer and middle finger onto his forehead and concentrated. In just a matter of milliseconds\u2026the group vanished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Cell was charging up an attack, ready to cause terror to summon Goku, when the group appeared. \u201cAh! So you just came running at the sound of potential terror!\u201d laughed Cell. \u201cWell, better be ready, Son Goku!\u201d Cell fired, then Kirby leapt into the attack\u2019s path and inhaled it. He then changed from Time Lord Kirby to Fighter Kirby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPOYO!\u201d he challenged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Is that gonna be a thing these days?\u201d muttered Cell. He then saw Goku adopt a familiar stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKa\u2026me\u2026ha\u2026me\u2026HAAAAAA!\u201d shouted Goku as he thrust his hands forward and fired the Kamehameha Wave at Cell. Cell batted it aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoku, you DO remember that your DNA is a part of me, right?\u201d asked Cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRISING BREAK!\u201d called Kirby as he delivered an uppercut to Cell\u2019s jaw. Cell let himself get knocked into the air, planning on frying the pink menace, then he saw Goku put himself against the sun and put his hands to his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSOLAR FLARE!\u201d shouted Goku. A bright light filled Cell\u2019s eyes and blinded him. Kirby took advantage of Cell\u2019s blindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVULCAN JAB!\u201d Kirby jabbed Cell in the stomach, winding him. Cell collapsed to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cH-How-?!\u201d he gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSPIN KICK!\u201d shouted Kirby. He spun around and delivered multiple roundhouse kicks to Cell\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd for good measure!\u201d called Goku. He then slammed his elbow into Cell\u2019s gut, winding him again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNOW!\u201d called the Doctor. Goku and Kirby broke off as the Doctor switched the machine on. An energy cage surrounded Cell. \u201cNow, let\u2019s see if I can actually send him back unlike what happened on Earth last time.\u201d She pressed a few buttons. \u201cLet\u2019s see\u2026aha! So, he came from then! Let\u2019s send him back there!\u201d She then flicked a switch. \u201cErasing his recent memories and\u2026\u201d Cell and the energy cage then vanished. \u201cAnd there we go! Whis, could you double-check things?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVery well, Doctor,\u201d replied Whis. He looked into his staff. \u201c\u2026Well, looks like time unfolded as it\u2019s supposed to. Cell\u2019s still in Hell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn that case, Kirby, you ready?\u201d \u201cKirby knew what the Doctor was driving at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoyo!\u201d he agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d asked Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA victory dance!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cJust follow along with Kirby!\u201d She pulled Goku into the group and the two of them danced along with Kirby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHAI!\u201d Kirby called at the end of the dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat was actually fun!\u201d chuckled Goku. \u201cI gotta do a victory dance sometimes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd look more ridiculous than you do right now, Kakarot?\u201d scoffed Vegeta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, don\u2019t be such a sourpuss, Vegeta!\u201d complained Goku. His stomach then growled. \u201c\u2026Hey, before we send Kirby back, maybe we could get some food in us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoyo,\u201d agreed Kirby as his own tummy grumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll take us back,\u201d offered Whis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>After Whis took them all back to Capsule Corp, everyone was eating well. The Saiyans were in an impromptu eating contest with Kirby when they discovered how much he could eat! \u201cHow much do you want to bet they\u2019ll lose?\u201d Beerus asked Whis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s too easy of a bet to make, Lord Beerus,\u201d remarked Whis. The Saiyans finally stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhew! That hit the spot!\u201d said Goku. \u201cWhat do you think, Vegeta? \u2026V-Vegeta?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKakarot, LOOK!\u201d yelped Vegeta as he pointed at Kirby. Goku goggled in surprise at seeing Kirby still going! By now, everyone was looking at the little pink puffball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026He just ate 57 Saiyan-sized full-course meals!\u201d gulped Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI lost count at 40,\u201d replied the Doctor. Kirby finished his meal and sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Poyo?\u201d he asked the Capsule Corp waiter as he held out his bowl. Everyone yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKirby, I think you\u2019ve had enough!\u201d gulped Tysar. Kirby looked at the bowl, then nodded. He then pulled out the dessert menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoyo!\u201d he said. Everyone yelped again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>After the banquet, Goku and Vegeta joined with Beerus and Whis. \u201cSo long!\u201d called Goku. \u201cWe\u2019re doing some training!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBe careful, you two, all right?!\u201d called Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKirby,\u201d said Whis, attracting Kirby\u2019s attention. Kirby looked at the Angel. \u201c\u2026Keep up the good work, will you? The universe needs some joy these days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoyo!\u201d replied Kirby with a smile. Whis then transported himself, his master, and the Saiyans away from the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd then there was you, Kirby,\u201d mused the Doctor. \u201cI\u2019ve disabled the memory-wipe, since you only traveled a few seconds into the past instead of years into the future and space-travel isn\u2019t unusual for you. You\u2019ll be able to remember your adventures here.\u201d She fixed up the machine she and Kirby built and switched it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was fun having you, Kirby!\u201d cheered Bulma. \u201cSee you later!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoyo!\u201d bid Kirby as the machine took him back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026And now there\u2019s us,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cThat\u2019s these chronal surges fixed up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, you sure you don\u2019t want to stay a bit longer?\u201d asked Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t, Dr. Briefs,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cTysar needs to get back to New Davius, and I need to continue fixing up the Grouping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust keep us informed if any chronal surges take anyone, okay?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWill do,\u201d promised Bulma. \u201cOf course, that\u2019s if I don\u2019t wish on the Dragonballs to fix that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think Shenron can undo the Grouping, but you\u2019re welcome to try,\u201d remarked the Doctor. She and Tysar returned to the TARDIS, and it took off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBye, Doctor!\u201d called Bulma. That was when the waiter arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe bill for that banquet, Ma\u2019am,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, yeah, that. Let\u2019s\u2026\u201d Bulma paled when she saw how much money it cost. \u201c\u2026That\u2019s\u2026triple\u2026my usual\u2026food budget!\u201d she whimpered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had heard Saiyans can eat a lot,\u201d remarked Tysar, \u201cbut I didn\u2019t think they ate that much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, it\u2019s a bit to do with biology,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cThe Saiyans can burn through calories faster than most humanoid species. The food on the planet of Vegeta was rich in calories, so the normal human portions would have filled their bellies if they used their ingriedients. Sadly, those ingriedients died along with the planet and species.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI heard about the Vegeta Catastrophe,\u201d said Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you heard it was a catastrophe, then you didn\u2019t get the full story,\u201d corrected the Doctor. \u201cThose in the know call it the Saiyan Genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Daleks?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, but that WOULD be their MO. No, this was the result of an Ice-jin mutant called Frieza.\u201d As the Doctor explained, the TARDIS spun through the Time Vortex, probing for the next chronal surge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2026Y-You mean, everything the Doctor and Kirby said\u2026is true?!\u201d stammered Whis, his world crumbling around him. \u201cYes,\u201d replied Grand Zeno matter-of-factly. \u201cI\u2019ve long learned that there\u2019s no such thing as a perfect being and who would want that?
