The troubled saiyan stood silently on an empty hill, examining the mysterious rod given to him by his supposed other self. He clicked on the red button above it and watched it in surprise as it began to beep. He stood patiently, letting the gusts of wind from the hills blow his hair around.

Goku: Everything I've been feeling lately, it has to be because of him.

After 10 minutes of waiting, the same spaceship from a few days ago, revealed itself from amongst the clouds. It gently landed on the same hill, only a few feet away from Goku. The saiyan from that day walked out of the ship. He had a grin on his face as though he were excited to see his doppelganger.

Kakarot: It didn't take so long, I see.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAxXPcupqjOS
Goku: Cut the crap! What did you do to me that day we met?
265Please respect copyright.PENANA8tCWWWSRdZ
Kakarot: I've done nothing to you-
265Please respect copyright.PENANAmQHufiPVV7
Goku: You're messing with my head! Leave me alone and get out of my planet!
265Please respect copyright.PENANA5jD8dTnezc
Kakarot: So that's how we're doing this? Go ahead and make me.

The saiyan's expression grew cold as he raised his fists in preparation for battle. Goku shouted in anger and dashed at the saiyan to begin his assault. He transformed into his super saiyan blue form right as he lunged his fist towards his opponent. His punch connected with Kakarot's face but to Goku's surprise, he wasn't nearly as injured as he would have imagined. He looked at Kakarot, noticing he had tapped into his primal instinct before the attack landed. Kakarot grabbed Goku's forearm and violently smashed him against the ground. Goku ignored his pain and caught his opponent in a tight arm bar. He used this slight advantage to get a kick at Kakarot's face which knocked him a few steps back, giving Goku the chance to create a distance. He spread his arms in front of him and began to rapidly fire ki blasts from his hands like that of a turret. He ascended into the air as he continued to bombard his mighty foe with never ending blasts of life energy. After only minutes of taking the blasts head on, the ferocious saiyan began to evade them almost flawlessly. Goku looked in frustration, noticing his attacks were no longer even grazing the saiyan. Kakarot leaped through the blasts and went in for a punch. Goku with barely any time to react, immediately boosted himself with the kaioken and blocked the attack as best as he could but the force of the punch sent him crashing into a mountain, leaving a huge crater in the process. Kakarot levitated in front of Goku, watching the enraged warrior struggle to move.

Kakarot: Get up. Fight.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAlDu0JwlEnp
Goku's frustration grew and his power bursted out even greater than before. The release of his ki alone shattered the mountain he laid on. He rushed Kakarot with a combination of multiple attacks which he avoided without much trouble but eventually was caught by a powerful uppercut which knocked blood out of his lips. Goku went in for a other punch but his fist was caught. He attempted the same with his other fist and was met with the same fate.

Kakarot: That's right. Let your anger out. Embrace your violent nature! You're a warrior! Act like one.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAScUGqRLGNq
Goku: I'm not going to let you get to me. I'm better than this!
265Please respect copyright.PENANA4llgwcAVvY
Goku dropped his gaurd and reverted back into his base form.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAt9C1UNiGTv
Kakarot: Foolish.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA877CHvYED4
Kakarot didn't waste his chance and grabbed Goku from his throat, squeezing it with lots of might. Goku gagged in pain, wiggling his feet around while trying to escape the tight and powerful grip of his mighty foe.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA3dZit4msJP
Kakarot: Look at you, weak, pathetic and unsatisfied. You try to play god with your fancy transformations but you'll never be like them, and you don't have to. We're saiyans not gods, we were born to fight, we live for it and nothing completes us more than a pure brutal battle. War is in our blood. You can't win a war without shedding some blood. Fight, Kakarot and quit pretending to be something you're not. All the ties you have on this planet are meaningless, you're none of the things you believe to be, you're a warrior and nothing more! Channel that mentality into your very soul!

Goku's eyes lit up as his power rose once more. He broke free of Kakarot's grip and grabbed him from his face and flew all the way to the ground, slamming his head straight into the floor. He grabbed onto Kakarot's neck with one arm and charged a destructo-disk with the other, aiming it at his head. He left his arm in the air, fighting with his urge to finish off Kakarot. The intense look in his eyes suddenly faded as he snapped back into his senses. His attack slowly faded as he loosened his grip.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5mXtciZn0
Kakarot: That felt great didn't it? Fighting with no restraints, embracing raw combat and violence.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAKnSTZSgZbK
Goku: N-No. This isn't me. You're doing something to me.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAzBdSdQr7oA
Kakarot: Is that what you think? I'm a saiyan just like you Kakarot. I can't control minds, I've simply introduced you to the instincts you have rejected. These urges and desires, this feeling of dissatisfaction, they're a part of you. Own them, free them. That is how we were meant to live. I didn't change you, I'm just showing you who you really are.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAZvyXBGlUbr
Goku: I was trained and disciplined by great people. I was taught righteous values and morals. I know better than to follow the foot steps of the likes of you. My brother offered me something similar years ago and I passed on it. I'm not a monster.

Kakarot: Raditz was a fool, I'm not asking you to be like him.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAaGUdYaEmpA
Goku: You knew Raditz?
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0aChIevGi
Kakarot: A different one, yes.
265Please respect copyright.PENANABh3zexpbRH
Goku: I need you to tell me, who are you?
265Please respect copyright.PENANAyK42be90z9
Kakarot: I told you already, I'm you. To be exact, I'm you from a different world. It's clear your world and mine are pretty distinct from one another.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQfDICij94o
Goku: How did you get here?
265Please respect copyright.PENANAGRF8OhaxQc
Kakarot: A few months ago, I felt a surging wave of power, one I didn't recognize, it almost felt like it wasn't from my world. I’ll keep it short, I figured out the origin of the wave and discovered the multiverse. That's how I found you, I knew immediately I had to come see you.
265Please respect copyright.PENANA2DQRrv0WsR
Goku: Wave of power? It must have been when Vegeta and I clashed with Broly as Gogeta. I still don't understand though, what's your purpose of coming all the way here just for me? I already told you I'm not interested in anything you're suggesting.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjvfOTvk34s
Kakarot: Is it such a crime to want to live a fulfilling life? Life tends to be cruel and unfair regardless of what we do, so why try to live by rules that only hold us back from enjoying our time here before our inevitable destruction? I'm not your enemy, Goku.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAOGShCsFGVQ
Goku struggled to find any words to say in response.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjfx92O4kqn
Kakarot: Don't stress it, soon you will see things my way. Maybe then you can fill that void you feel inside of you. Maybe then you can be free.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAuMxgQCy3Fy
Goku: Get out of here. Just leave me alone.
265Please respect copyright.PENANAe4sXaqdhqi
Kakarot: As you wish. I have a feeling we will meet again soon enough anyways.

Kakarot went back into his ship and entered some coordinates. He noticed a hair gently land on his hand. He picked it up, the hair was white and dried out. He soon noticed it was his own.

Kakarot: Looks like my time is running low.

3 dragon humanoid, creatures arrived at planet Tatsu. The rest of the Tatsu race arose from the ground with a rather depressing look on their faces.

A pastor approached the trio. His head was low and his aura was gloomy.
