While enjoying himself with Bulma after successfully eradicating Glaze and planning his future plans, somewhere else the clogs of the time were starting to turn into another direction.
-----
With a birds view, one could see a dome-like building standing near a lake right in the middle of the pretty vast space. It had a majestic tree in its center that bore fruit.
There was also another smaller building a little to the side that looked like a home for someone. Both of these were surrounded by something that looked a lot like a birdcage. Behind that cage, one could see a greenish sky and some objects floating around that looked like planets.
"Tokitoki, where are you!?", shouted a small petite figure while walking out from the smaller building to the side. The figure wore the typical clothing for a Kaioshin and also had a unique lighter purple skin color as well as pointy ears with golden potara on them. It was the supreme kai of time, Chronoa.
The reddish-pink hair colored head of hers moved around in search but since no reaction came back she only sighed. "Where did that bird run off to now? It´s always the same with him.", she said with a grumble.
It didn't take long and a slight rumble in the time nest could be felt.
"Huh? What happened? Why did the time nest shake? Don't tell me someone is messing around with the time?", she asked herself and ran to the time vault.
Inside the time vault, she could see different mirrors that represented each its own timeline just like the time rings did. And in front of every mirror was a scroll placed in front that could be used by anyone to travel back in time. They were the scrolls for universe 7.
It was actually quite interesting to see that there were methods to travel in time like the time machine that did create disturbances in the timeline and those rings as well as scrolls that actually did not. At least not in a significant way. The logic behind them was weird, to say the least.
There were 5 mirrors and at the pedestal of one of them a scroll was glimmering with a dark purple aura. It was a sign that something happened. Chronoa frowned her brows after looking at the content of the scroll.
"No, this cant be. It's in our timeline? Let's see. It's on earth...Oh no. This cant happen. I need to stop it.", she said and rolled the roll back up. "Kai-Kai", she said and vanished. Right at that moment, other scrolls started to emit the same aura that one scroll did but it was shortlived and the aura vanished.

Back at earth, Darc was nearly sound asleep after lying together with Bulma but before he closed his eyes for good he felt something and opened his eyes wide.
What he felt shocked him and he immediately jumped out of the bed. Bulma also was quite startled by that. "What is it!? Why are you behaving like that?", she asked him.
Darc only frowned "Don't worry something just came up. You remain here and sleep.", he answered her and gave her a kiss to calm her. Then he put on his clothes and left home. ´No rest for the wicked, huh. Damn it. Why now.´, he thought and went outside. Arkis also felt the energy and joined Darc. He only nodded and they both used teleportation to go to the aura that appeared.
What they found in front of themselves looked like a black vortex that opened up the same time they felt the energy and slowly closed itself already. It was hovering just a few meters above the ground.
"What is that?", asked Arkis after she looked at the vortex and couldn't figure out what it was.
Darc only furrowed his brows even more and clicked his tongue "Tsk, it's a time vortex. We got ourselves a guest. Someone from the future to be precise...Isn't that right?", he explained loudly and looked somewhere else.
Behind a boulder, a figure appeared. "Well, I didn't think someone would be able to notice my presence so soon. And to think someone actually even knows about time travel. It seems you human actually are a greater threat than I first thought.", said the figure.
Darc widened his eyes. "You!"
The figure was surprised by his reaction. "You seem to know me? Weird, I don't have any recollection of ever having met you. Oh, maybe it's my appearance? Good, then I am in the right place."
Arkis was confused but looking how Darc reacted it meant the person in front is not the same she knew. Feeling the energy of the person she did notice that the aura was completely different. Just the exterior was the same. "Darc?", she asked and he knew what she wanted to know immediately.
"Yeah, that´s not Goku...Be careful, Arkis.", he answered her.
The figure smiled with an evil grin after hearing his words. "So you do know Goku! Now, be kind enough to tell me what year it is here. I still seem to have deviated somewhat from my planned destination.", asked Goku Black. That is right. The one in front of them was Goku Black.
"Zamasu, you really are a pest. Even traveling into the wrong timelines. But, sensing your energy it looks like you only freshly took over Goku´s body. Well, it´s gonna end badly for you now.", said Darc and charged right at Goku Black.
Arkis and Zamasu were surprised that Darc knew his name. Especially Zamasu was shocked to hear his real name and immediately felt that he somehow made a huge mistake coming here. The attack from Darc hit him right in the face followed up by a hook with the left hand into his abdomen.
Zamasu could only cough out in pain. Right now he was no match for Darc because he couldn't even go Super Saiyan with this body but at the same time, he felt he could use this to train his body. In his inner thoughts, he already smirked and thought about the beans in his pocket.
Little did he know that Darc wouldn't let him. Darc knew what he was planning to do and he would have none of it.
Darc grabbed both his arms and hindered him from doing any movements. Then he jumped over him ina flip and pulled his arms with him. Effectively dislocating his bones at his shoulders. Zamasu´s arms were now only dangling around. Then Darc knelt down and swept his leg swiftly underneath Zamasu so that he fell to the ground. Doing an acrobatic jump backward he stomped Zamasu his body into the ground and creating a crater of several meters width and depth.
"Gah!" Blood was coughed out and Zamasu looked a little bit panicky now.
"Do you really think I will let you use senzu beans and zenkai your way up? Don't expect any mercy from me, you lunatic.", said Darc and looked down at him. Then He erupted his godly ki to the maximum. "Its time for you to die. Sadly since you used the time ring only your current being will be erased. Looks like I will have to make a visit to universe 10 at some point to finish your other half off."
Zamasu looked in shock and widened his eyes while gritting his teeth. He looked at the godly aura Darc emitted. It pressed down on him.
"What!? Erased!? Don't you go around and blaspheme us supreme beings! How can you have a gods power! No human shall have it! Its only for us gods to wield! You damn mortal!!!", shouted Zamasu while being in Goku´s body. The arrogance from before was completely overshadowed by his broken mind. He was no immortal yet and being damaged like this was a clear death sentence to him. And hearing Darc talk about erasure just triggered him even more.
Darc only prepared a massive amount of destructive energy in his hand and grabbed Zamasu´s throat and pulled him up in front of himself after stepping down from him. Then he smirked. "Oh, maybe you shouldn't have such a big mouth. Beerus is not the only one that can erase people. You will now be erased by a mortal. Goodbye, Zamasu.....Hakai!!", he said and executed the technique.
Zamasu only widened his eyes and tried to squirm around but that resistance was futile and he vanished into little purple specks.
Darc only made a heavy sigh and looked at the ground. The time ring Goku Black wore was still remaining and fell down after he got erased. Darc just picked up the ring and turned around to Arkis. "Alright, that's done. We only need to keep watch that nothing else comes through that vortex."
"You knew that...imposter?", she asked him now after she got the chance.
Darc hesitates to answer at first but really didn't care anymore. He already trusted Arkis enough to tell her a little. And if she became like him it would make him somewhat sad but he wouldn't hesitate to erase her as well. "That´s a long story. But to keep it simple. That guy was a supreme kai that got a little bit out of control. He is someone from universe 10."
"Universe 10? There are more universes?", she asked with arched brows now.
"Yeah, there are. A total of 12 I think still remain. Each has its Supreme Kais to create life and planets and the gods of destruction that are responsible for destroying the life that is not suited to remain in the universe...This guy thought he was a god that had the right to do anything while breaking all rules set...Arkis, don't follow such an example, please.", he explained further.
Arkis nodded and smiled benevolently. "I won't. After all, I have found to like the people around me. Why would I want to harm them? That would only hurt me.", she said.
Darc smiled at that answer. He could vaguely feel that it was a genuine answer with no lie.
"Ahem, hello there.", came from the side.
Darc and Arkis already noticed the space distortion and looked at the person. It was Chronoa that arrived.
"Hello...What is supreme kai doing here? Is it because of the vortex there?", asked Darc and played ignorant about the events that occurred here and pointed at the vortex.
Arkis noticed that and knew he wanted to hide things for now. She smiled at the thought that he trusted her enough for him to tell her about the truth.
Chronoa followed his finger and jumped in joy "Yes! But I am more concerned about the guy that came out of it. Did you see a guy dressed in black clothing?", she asked and was still a little bit in agitation. She didn't even notice Arkis or the fact that he knew she was a supreme kai. That was, after all, a fact not many knew.
