Your thoughts were interrupted as Goku and Gohan break the hug and lift you off the ground.

"You doing alright, Nemui? You look stuck" Goku spoke in a slightly worried tone as you shook your head.

"I'm alright Goku... How have you guys been doing?" You asked. You had to act normal for now.

"We've been great, Gohan found a small dragon from a crash site" Goku pointed behind him and you see a small purple dragon.

You heard its small cries as it went towards you, sniffing around your leg before it snuggled against it. A small chuckle escaped your lips as you pet the dragon's head, hearing them happily chirp.

Goku then tapped on you and Gohan's shoulders as he pointed to a cave that was nearby.

Making your way into the cave, you saw some food and supplies in the cave already, seeing that it was probably for the dragon.

While you were playing with the dragon, you didn't see Goku staring at you with admiration.

What you didn't know is that in this dimension, you were gone, and Goku had missed you a lot. He had to make sure that you were going to be okay.

As you watched Gohan and the small dragon go outside and play, you felt a pair of arms gently wrap around your waist. Goku's wild hair brushed against yours as you felt him nuzzle against your neck.

"Are you okay, Goku?" you asked in a light tone as you heard him deeply inhale and exhale.

"Yeah... I just miss you..." As he spoke those words, you felt yourself feeling flush, not knowing what the situation was on why you were gone from here.

You slowly raised your hand and gently combed his soft yet wild hair, making you hear a purr that was emitted from Goku.

"How long was I gone?" you asked in a quiet tone as you waited for Goku's answer. "You were gone for a while... probably a year by now..."

As he spoke, you felt his arms now firmly holding you against him.

'So here... I was gone for a year. Then how did I get here? The last thing I remember was I fell asleep in the hospital chair with everyone else'

You both stayed in that position, comforting Goku in the gentle moment. You also wondered about the other fighters.

'Are Goku's friends alive? Or are they still dead...?'

Your train of thought was once again broken when you heard a rumble on the ground, causing confusion to form on you and Goku's faces.

The small rumble then stopped, causing you both to look outside the cave, seeing small animals run in the same direction. "Maybe something fell..."

You hummed at Goku's answer as you saw the area getting darker, seeing that it was close to nighttime.

"C'mon, let's get inside the house. I'm feeling tired" Goku said as he let go of your waist and yawned. You felt tired as well, seeing that you didn't rest that much.

Goku gently grabbed your hand and led you towards his house. Going inside, you see Gohan was sleeping against the dragon on the couch, causing you both to chuckle softly. He then led you to a room that had a bed and a dresser.

"You can sleep in here, Nemui. I'm going to my room. Let me know if you need anything" You gave him a nod as he went to his room.

Entering and closing the door, you laid yourself on the soft surface on the bed, already feeling your eyelids grew heavy.

As you closed your eyes, you heard a voice speaking in your mind.

'Hello, Nemui...'

The voice made you shoot out of bed as you looked around the room, seeing that it was no one in the room with you. Your eyebrows furrowed as you hesitantly began to speak in your mind.

'Hello...?' you retorted back.

'Yes, I'm here, Nemui. I'm here to help you in this world. This world is different from yours. Think of it as an alternate universe'

As the voice finished speaking, you spoke back.

'So was that you who pulled me into this place?' You asked as you heard the voice hum, seeing that you were correct.

'Yes, that was me. Right now, you are in an alternate reality, where some of the battles Goku have been in are different from your timeline...' You hummed back at the voice before speaking.

'So, when I wake up from this reality, will I still have the memory of that time?' you felt your eyelids become heavier.

'You will. But when you go back, Goku and the others don't even know that the reality you were in even exists. During the time, you will be able to travel to other realities and fight others that don't exist in your timeline'

'But right now, I know that you need rest. You will know about more when you wake up'

As the voice finished speaking, you hummed as you laid your body on the soft surface of the bed, letting the darkness consume you, lulling you to sleep.

Meanwhile, outside of Goku's home.

The ground began to rumble once more, but this time, it felt bigger. The ground began to crumble as giant tree roots began to break the ground area quickly.

Trees were being destroyed; animals were running away as small mountains were broken down in the area.

The giant roots started to form into some type of giant tree, as more roots began to flow quickly out of a seed that was planted somewhere.

As the destruction continued, two unknown people were watching from a spaceship in the sky as they looked down at the earth.

"Who would've thought that the earth would be able to nourish and support the Tree of Might?" said the taller person as they spoke to a Saiyan next to them.

"Soon, we will reap the fruit of its labor," spoke the Saiyan as he smirked.

'Especially the earthlings...'

As the night went by, the tree roots were growing bigger and faster, destroying everything in its path. It then started to sprout out into the air from the ground up, making more branches begin to sprout out of more branches.

The tree began to grow taller as it reached the sky, towered the clouds as well. More animals began to run away, their squeaks and chirps alerting the other animals to run away as well.

Throughout the entire forest, the shadow of the tree loomed over the smaller trees in the area.

After a long time, morning came around as the people in the city were starting to run away, following the instructions from an alert. Buildings were starting to break down as debris flew everywhere.

"Emergency! Emergency! Please evacuate in an orderly manner!"

Buildings and homes started to become destroyed as the giant tree roots traveled to the city, causing havoc and citizens to run away in fear. Roots started to envelope around the building, bringing them down to the ground.

Back at the house, Goku went to the room where you were in and saw you comfortably sleepy. He silently chuckled to himself as he gently placed his hand on your arm.

He felt himself flush as he felt the relaxed muscle against his hand, seeing that you've grown stronger than the last time you were with him.

After a few moments of admiring you, he began to gently shake you awake. "C'mon Nemui. It's time to get up" He spoke in a gentle tone.

He saw your eyes begin to slowly flutter open, your tired black eyes staring into his cheerful black ones.

You hummed to yourself as you slowly sat up and stretched, hearing the soft pops of your joints. "Morning..." you muttered in a tired tone as Goku said it back.

"C'mon, the others are here" He then grabbed your hand and led you to the kitchen.

'So they're not dead here' You thought to yourself as you rubbed the sleepiness out of your eyes.

'Wait, does that mean Vegeta and the others doesn't exist? Now that I think about it, where's Piccolo?'

Coming closer to the kitchen, you could hear Bulma and Yamcha arguing, seeing that he probably did something he wasn't supposed to do.

"Hey guys! Look who's here?" spoke Goku as he grabbed everyone's attention. As their eyes landed on you, some of them had their eyes widened while others had a bright smile on their faces.

"Hey Nemui, how's it been?" called Yamcha, trying to ignore the argument with Bulma. "It's been good" you replied as you waved at the others and gave a nod at Tien and Chiaotzu.

You and Goku sat at the table, seeing Gohan wave at you as you gave him a small wave back.

You noticed that Goku was still holding your hand, but you didn't move it, seeing that it was comforting him. Goku felt at joy while holding your hand, feeling the softness of it. He promised himself to make sure you would stay here longer.

As you all conversed at the table, you heard a knock at the window, seeing that it was the small purple dragon.

"Icarus? What's wrong?" Gohan got up from his seat and went to the door. Icarus chirped at him as he insisted Gohan to get on his back, seeing that he wanted to show him something.

"Not right now, Icarus. I have to eat breakfast first" Gohan tried to push him away, but he didn't budge.

"I'll play later, I promise" As he spoke those words, Icarus chirped at him once more before he flew away.

Gohan went back inside, joining the others at the table. Enjoying a cup of coffee, you and Goku heard a familiar voice in your heads.

'Goku! Nemui! Can you hear me?' It was King Kai's voice, he sounded urgent.

"King Kai, is that you?" Goku questioned as you gave him a nod, confirming his answer.

'You two need to hurry! Something has been planted in the earth. A wicked tree called the tree of might has taken root. We have to stop it from bearing fruit!'

"That sounds bad... But why do we have to do it?" Goku questioned as you heard King Kai groan in frustration.

'Because that tree will suck up all the life energy of this planet. Some may call it the Tree of Death, seeing that it can suck up energy fast and will not stop until it's destroyed! The fruit is very rich, and it needs nutrients from the earth'

"We have to do something about it. It's probably going to destroy the earth" You spoke as you heard King Kai agreeing with you.

'Nemui's right, if we don't destroy it in time, the earth will become a dry desert, and nothing alive will be on this planet if you two would hurry!'

Serious expressions formed on you and Goku's face. "I won't let it happen. We'll be on our way!" said Goku as you both started to get ready.

Waiting for everyone, you all headed outside and took flight, quickly going to the location to see where the tree had been planted.

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

A few moments have passed as you see a giant, light purple tree that's been planted in the middle of the forest.

It loomed over everything in sight as you all landed on the ground in front of the tree.

Around the area, plants, trees, and grass have already passed, seeing that the tree has already destroyed this part of the area.

"You guys ready?" spoke Goku as everyone else nodded. They began to charge up their ki, creating a blast and aimed it at the bottom of the tree.

Once the blast came in contact, smoke began to cover the area as you all waited to see if it could be damaged. After the smoke's been cleared, the tree didn't appear damaged at all, not even a smidge of it.

"C'mon! We have to do it again!" yelled Krillin.

"It's not going to work. We have to find the main source, that will probably destroy it" you interrupted as you see Goku and Tien nod.

You and Goku took flight slowly to the top, followed by Yamcha, Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu.

As soon as you and Goku set foot on top, you heard multiple voices that taunted everyone.

They wore saiyan armor just like Vegeta in your world, but some of them looked different from other saiyans. They had scouters as well.

"Well, well. What a surprised"

"You guys tryna carve your names on this tree? Or would you draw little hearts and things?"

The group taunted as they stared down at you all. "Do you really think that you could destroy this tree? I didn't think so" said the orange-colored alien.

You felt their energy; these were some mediocre foes. You and Goku could easily handle them, but you wondered about the others.

"You planted this tree in our land? Well, it's gotta go" demanded Goku as he furrowed his eyebrows.

Everyone stared at each other, confident and evil smirks formed on the group while you and Goku stared at them with annoyance.

In an instinct, Yamcha, Tien and the others charged at the group. Before they could strike, the group vanished as well.

You and Goku waited a bit before vanishing as well.

Tien and Chiaotzu tried to attack the small, purple alien, but it didn't do anything. They were distracted when the alien split into two, causing them to be confused as they were knocked back.

The twin aliens smirked down at them as they made their way towards them. Before they could get closer, they were blinded by a bright light, making them groan in pain as they covered their eyes.

Krillin charged up his destructo-disk and threw it at the orange skinned alien. He smirked as he deflected it, causing it to hit the mountains nearby.

They then rushed towards each other, exchanging blows as they took their flight in the air.

You and Goku were back-to-back against each other, seeing a long-haired alien trying to throw a ki blast at you both. You smacked it away with no problem, causing it to hit its sender, hearing them cry in pain.

Goku fired a blast at a cyborg like alien, making it crash to the ground before chasing another foe.

Meanwhile, with the unknown Saiyan.

He continued to watch the fight in his ship, watching his team fight against the others. He was watching Gohan, seeing that he was a Saiyan as well.

His eyes then widened as he came across Goku, but he saw another... saiyan?

"Another saiyan that looks like me and Kakarot?" As he questioned himself, he looked at your appearance. You looked just like him.

He felt something inside of him as he watched you fight his squad with ease, you wore nonchalant yet tired look on your face.

"Hmmm... Maybe I can have him join me. He looks like us, so was he also made for destruction? But something is missing... I can't feel his power"

He then smirked as he continued to watch you, making him feel more intrigued.

'Who are you...?'
