"Bring it on!"
"Let me see just how strong I become in the future!"
Vegeta smirked and hooked his finger toward his future self.
"Raaaah!"
Future Vegeta let out a roar as golden energy surged around him. His black hair turned gold and stood upright—he had transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"This is all my strength!" Future Vegeta declared confidently.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Is that all you've got? Looks like your base power is way too low."
"Haaah!"
Vegeta clenched his fists as his own golden aura erupted. His transformation surpassed that of his future self—tiny lightning bolts danced across his body as he reached Super Saiyan 2.
"This is Super Saiyan 2!"
"In the next month, I'll put you through hellish training. I hope you can handle it," Vegeta warned as he charged toward his future self.
What followed was a brutal beatdown. Within minutes, Future Vegeta was left bruised and battered, struggling to get up.
"Vegeta, why are you treating your future self like this?" Goku asked, confused.
Vegeta crossed his arms and replied coldly, "Because his weakness is exactly why the future turned out so terribly. Get up. Training starts now."
"Dammit!" Future Vegeta thought angrily. When I get stronger than you, I swear I'll return the favor!
After that brief scuffle, everyone began pairing off to train with their future or past selves. They exchanged techniques, battle strategies, and honed each other's strengths.
And just like that, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Rayden passed through the dimensional wall and arrived at Bulma's house in the future timeline, ready to bring Goku and the others back to the main timeline.
"Goku, are you all done with training?" he asked.
Goku scratched his head and grinned. "Yup! We've all improved a lot!"
Rayden turned to look at Trunks, who was chatting with Bulma.
"Trunks, there will be even stronger enemies ahead. Don't slack off with your training."
"You can use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again. Once you reach Super Saiyan 3, your strength might be enough to blast your way out, even if the door is sealed."
"Super Saiyan 3?"
The mention of it left both the future and present warriors confused.
They had all assumed Super Saiyan 2 was the final transformation. Could there really be something beyond that?
Rayden smiled. "There are levels far beyond Super Saiyan 3. Train hard—I believe in you."
"I'll definitely be the first to reach Super Saiyan 3!" Future Vegeta declared, full of determination.
Future Goku chuckled and clapped him on the shoulder. "Not if I beat you to it, Vegeta!"
Rayden stepped forward. "Alright, everyone—time to go. Goodbye, and keep training."
He raised his hand, and the dimensional wall appeared.
Rayden then took Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, and the others through the wall.

Main Timeline — Earth, Rayden's Island
Everyone arrived safely back on Earth.
Rayden gently ruffled Gohan's hair. "So, Gohan, how was your visit to the future timeline?"
Gohan's eyes sparkled with determination. "Uncle Rayden, I'll work even harder now! I'll protect everyone and keep the Earth safe!"
"Gohan!" Piccolo looked at him in surprise. The boy had changed—he now radiated purpose and resolve.
Rayden laughed heartily. "Excellent!"
Then he turned to Goku and Vegeta.
"You two better watch out—Gohan might surpass you if you're not careful."
Goku and Vegeta nodded in unison. "We'll train harder from now on!"
"Kakarot," Broly interrupted, "look after my father. Take him with you when you train."
"Wait… Broly, are you leaving Earth?" Piccolo asked curiously.
Rayden nodded and explained to everyone, "I'm heading into space with Broly. I'm not sure when we'll be back—it could be a few months, or even years."
"Rayden, can I come with you?" Goku asked eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Rayden smiled but shook his head. "Not this time, Goku. But if the opportunity arises, I promise to take you next time."
After saying their goodbyes, everyone eventually went their separate ways.

The Next Morning — West Capital
Rayden woke early and flew straight to Bulma's house.
A few minutes later—
Swoosh!
From the sky, he spotted Bulma lounging on the balcony, enjoying the morning sun.
Boom!
Rayden landed softly beside her.
"Bulma! Have you finished the Super Dragon Ball Radar I asked for?"
"Rayden?! You finally showed up!" she said, startled. "I thought you didn't need it anymore!"
"I finished it ages ago. Come with me—I'll show you."
Rayden followed her into the lab, where two massive Dragon Ball Radars sat on a round table. Each was dozens of times larger than the standard version.
Bulma grinned. "These are the Super Dragon Ball Radars. I made a backup, just in case you break the first one."
"Bulma, thank you!"
Rayden stored both radars in his storage ring, then used Instant Transmission to return to his island.
"Broly, let's go!"
"Okay!"
Broly placed his hand on Rayden's shoulder, and they vanished.

Namek
Rayden and Broly reappeared beside Elder Muli.
At Rayden's request, Elder Muli gathered the Dragon Balls and summoned Porunga once again.
Boom!
Porunga emerged in the sky, eyes glowing red.
"You who have gathered the Dragon Balls—state your wish! I shall grant any request!"
Elder Muli turned to Rayden. "What is your wish this time?"
Rayden smiled. "Great Elder, I'd like to learn the divine language—the Language of the Gods."
"The Language of the Gods?" Muli raised a brow. "What an unusual request."
Despite his confusion, Muli repeated the wish to Porunga in Namekian.
"Porunga, please grant this young man the Language of the Gods."
Porunga's body pulsed with light. "This wish is simple—but it will consume all three wishes at once."
"That's fine," Rayden said.
Porunga's eyes flashed again.
Suddenly, Rayden felt a flood of unfamiliar knowledge surge into his mind. He now understood celestial runes, divine scripts, and the dialects used by deities.
"Your wish has been granted. Farewell."
Porunga dissolved into glowing particles, and the seven Dragon Balls fell to the ground as inert stones.
Rayden took out a transparent crystal from his storage ring and handed it to Elder Muli.
"This is a sound transmission crystal. If you ever need me, crush it—and I'll come."
Elder Muli accepted it with deep gratitude. "Thank you, Rayden."
Rayden nodded. "Goodbye, Elder."
He and Broly vanished again with Instant Transmission.

Deep Space
Rayden and Broly emerged on an unfamiliar planet in the vast universe.
Rayden pulled out one of the Super Dragon Ball Radars and powered it on.
Beep! Beep!
A flashing dot appeared on the radar—toward the southeast quadrant of the galaxy.
"Looks like it can only scan a small part of the universe at once," Rayden observed.
"Let's go!"
They vanished again, heading toward the marked location.
Swish!
Thanks to Supreme Kai's version of Instant Transmission, they arrived almost instantly.
Beep! Beep!
The radar signaled that a Super Dragon Ball was nearby—on one of the planets.
Rayden turned to Broly. "Let's split up and search. If a planet contains a Dragon Ball, we should be able to sense it—or even blast through to reveal it."
"Got it!" Broly nodded.
They started hurling energy bombs into the ground on different planets.
Boom after boom echoed across dozens of worlds, but they found nothing.
Rayden used telepathy. Broly, did you find anything?
Broly's excited voice rang out in his mind. Rayden! I found it! Come over here!
Rayden used Instant Transmission and appeared beside him.
They stood before a planet that pulsed with hidden energy. Rayden raised both hands, gathering countless energy bombs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The smoke cleared, and the ground crumbled, revealing a massive glowing sphere beneath.
A five-star Super Dragon Ball.
"It's huge!" Broly exclaimed. "How are we supposed to carry this thing?!"
Rayden stepped forward. "Let me try Instant Transmission with it."
He concentrated, wrapped his energy around the enormous Dragon Ball, and vanished.
Seconds later, he reappeared nearby—Dragon Ball in tow.
"It worked!"
Returning to Broly's side, he said, "Alright. Grab on. Let's go find the next one."
Together, the two warriors continued their journey across the stars—hunting down the Super Dragon Balls in the far reaches of the universe.
