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.

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.

530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQlb1Yjqtx
Kakarot: I've done nothing to you-

Goku: You're messing with my head! Leave me alone and get out of my planet!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Goku: N-No. This isn't me. You're doing something to me.
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5bYZZR7P1
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.

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.

530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9lRxYeRw4

Goku: How did you get here?
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyvlcDDvUu
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.
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN7cC0bMQu
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.
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbCXPFeY1t
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.
