Chapter 2 - Divine Strength

The pebbles, dust, and rocks from above, fell onto the face of angered Vegeta. He flashed the rubble off him, and flew back into the sky. He scoured the rocky, dust filled land, with grave intensity.

He blinked, and in that moment it took his eyes to close and open, the Look Alike was right in front of him, arm stretched out, as he grabbed ahold of Vegeta's face. The Look Alike flew down to the ground, Goku appeared and grabbed onto him, in attempt to stop the Look Alike without success as Vegeta's dragged through the crust of the earth.

In the passing of a few seconds they made their own entrance in a massive underground, magma bubbling beneath. Vegeta quickly powered up into his Super Saiyan God Form, and with one twist broke free from the clutches of the Look Alike. He used the momentum he has over his enemy now to toss him down into the magma, to which Goku relinquished has hold, and launched his Kamehame down at the Look Alike.

Vegeta wiped mouth. "Damn bastard is strong," He thought, trying to get his breathing under control. 

Goku used this time to power himself up, and enter his Super Saiyan God Form. "Alright here he comes." Goku tensed up and clenched his fist, steeling himself for the confrontation. "I don't want to say it, but this guy is something else. It's obvious he's not even trying," Goku thought, trying to discern the strength of his Look Alike.

The Look Alike emerged with an odd motion of grace. He locked eyes with Vegeta, then charged up at them. Goku and Vegeta did the same, bringing their fist together, to collide with Look Alikes.

Proving they were no match for him, he effortlessly pushed past them crashing into the ceiling above, the clash of fists lasting for less than 2 seconds.

They were all left wide eyed for a brief moment, until they decided to enter their Super Saiyan Form Blue Forms. The Look Alike gaze down on them, as they flew towards each other once again.

Goku got in first with a kick to the Look Alike's head, hurtling him back into the ceiling. The Look Alike moved swiftly, to repay the favor, only for Goku teleport out of the way, leaving Vegeta to come in with a right fist to the Look Alike's face.

This time around, the Look Alike took the hit without effect, and grabbed ahold of Vegeta's arm, drawing him in, to slam his forehead against Vegeta's face followed by a sharp kick with his foot.

Hurtling down Vegeta managed to stop himself. The saiyan's gave each other a look. This is followed by the powering up of both saiyan's, as there aura expanded.

"Ready Vegeta!?" Goku exclaimed.

"Tch." Vegeta scoffed. "As always!" Vegeta exclaimed in response.

"Final..."

"Kamehame..."

"...Flasshhh!!!"

"...Haaaaaa!!!"

The combination attack between the two saiyan's is unleashed, precisely hitting its target, and blasting a hole through the ceiling of the cave to the surface.

They both rushed to the surface in after the Look Alike. "Any luck?" Goku asked, unable to sense the Look Alike's Ki.

"Arrghh! I've got nothing," Vegeta expressed. "Did he get dragged back into his timeline?" He pondered. 

They floated their for some time unsure of what exactly happened.

On the ride home in Bulma's ship, they pondered, intensely, as they tried to warp their brains around this whole situation.

Bulma looked back at them ever so often, the silence thick in the air. "Alright. Go on, fill me in."

There was silence for a few seconds, until Vegeta decided to speak his mind. "I'm not sure what you want to hear. We're at a lost here, this... Kakarot, is definitely not that Kai. This one's Ki is thick, and almost feels void-like-" 

"Empty," Goku butted in. "There's something about this guy."

"I have a theory, or better the logical answer here..." Bulma paused, making sure everyone's paying close anything. "...Like Trunks he could be from a different timeline. Just another thing, his method of getting here. Did either of you see anything familiar?"

"Hmm." Goku scratched his chin, trying to recall anything his Look Alike may have in his possession. Unable to thing of anything he looked over at Vegeta.

Vegeta shook his head. "We have nothing. The only way Black got here was due to a time-ring, and Trunks, obviously the time machine."

"Wait, are you saying he could've traveled here by his own powers?" Chi-Chi inquired.

"Hm. It would seem so... But let's not try to jump to conclusion," Bulma suggested. "I'm sure there's some other form of explanation. We just need some time to figure it out."

Back home at Bulma's place. Krillin, Piccolo, Gohan, is quickly filled in on the situation by Bulma, at the back her yard.

"So another threat as arrived," Piccolo exclaimed, with a cautious look. "He somehow got here without a time machine, or even a time-ring."

Sweat dripped off the face of Krillin. "W-What are we supposed to do now?" Krillin asked, a bit of quiver in his voice.

"I'm not sure, but the others will need to know about this," Gohan replied in response to Krillin.

"Tch. That won't be necessary I already figure out to beat him," Vegeta proclaimed, turning his sights to the sky.

Goku gasped in surprise. "Wait, really Vegeta?" He smirked "Then it seems you're one step ahead of me."

"Hm?" Vegeta scoffed. "Of course."
