"Ah!" Janemba roared, firing a barrage of energy waves from his hands, each one aimed at Goten with deadly precision.
Goten weaved through the attacks with fluid movements, dodging the incoming blasts with ease. Janemba clenched his fists, his frustration mounting, and rushed toward Goten with renewed fury.
In a flash, Goten appeared in front of Janemba, his fists moving at lightning speed as he launched a relentless barrage of punches. Janemba countered, matching Goten's speed with his own as their fists collided repeatedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, creating powerful gusts of wind around them.
After a fierce exchange, Goten suddenly drove his right knee forward, striking Janemba's midsection with immense force. The blow sent Janemba hurtling backward, his body spiraling through the air.
Janemba snarled, halting his momentum mid-air. His eyes blazed with anger as he glared at Goten, only to see the Saiyan already charging at him again.
Goten's fist connected with Janemba's chin, snapping his head back. Without pausing, Goten followed up with a powerful kick, sending Janemba flying once more.
"Kamehameha!" Goten shouted, his hands glowing as he unleashed a massive blue energy wave.
Janemba, caught off guard, was unable to evade. The Kamehameha struck him head-on, creating a massive explosion that engulfed the sky in thick smoke.
"Is it over?" Pan from the Time Patrol asked, her voice tinged with both hope and uncertainty.
"I'm not sure," Trunks replied, keeping his eyes on the dissipating smoke.
When the air cleared, there was no trace of Janemba. The team let out a collective sigh of relief and resumed following Tokitoki.
After a while, they arrived at a blood-red sea. Standing by the shore was an old man with a monocle over his right eye and a white lab coat.
"Time Patrol, I've been expecting you," the man said, his voice carrying a sinister edge.
"Who are you?" Xeno Goku asked, his tone sharp.
"That's irrelevant," the man replied. "All you need to know is that I am your enemy."
"Fine," Xeno Goku said. "Goten, you and the others go on ahead. Vegeta and I will handle this."
"Understood," Trunks said. "Let's go, Pan, Goten!"
Dr. Wheelo heelo raised his hand, trying to block their path, but Xeno Goku appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Your opponent is me," Goku declared, his aura flaring.
Dr. Wheelo sneered, stepping back as his own energy rose. Xeno Goku roared, transforming into Super Saiyan 3, while Vegeta followed suit. The two Saiyans charged at Dr. Wheelo , their battle shaking the very ground.
Meanwhile, Goten, Trunks, and Pan reached a massive tree glowing with vibrant, colorful light. Its immense roots extended deep into the ground, pulsating with energy.
"Is this the Cosmic Tree?" Trunks asked, staring at the massive structure.
"I think so," Pan replied, her voice filled with awe.
"How do we destroy it?" Trunks wondered aloud.
Tokitoki shook his head from above, signaling that even the power of time couldn't destroy the Cosmic Tree. It had absorbed too much cosmic energy, becoming nearly indestructible.
"I might have a way," Goten said, stepping forward.
Trunks and Pan watched as Goten raised his hand, forming a massive golden sphere of light. The sphere radiated with intense energy, rippling with the power of time itself. With a powerful throw, Goten hurled the sphere at the Cosmic Tree.
Bang!
The golden sphere collided with the tree, releasing waves of temporal energy. The energy reversed the effects of the tree, returning the absorbed energy back to the planets it had drained. The enormous roots that spanned the universe began to wither and disappear, shrinking the tree back into a tiny sapling.
"The Cosmic Tree… it's a sapling now!" Trunks exclaimed, staring in disbelief.
Goten flew to the sapling and used the power of time to transform it into a seed. He placed the seed into his system's inventory, ensuring it was safely contained.
"Where's the Cosmic Tree?" Pan asked, her tone skeptical.
"It's destroyed," Goten replied simply.
"Destroyed?" Pan repeated, eyeing him curiously. She had seen the seed vanish into Goten's hands but chose not to press further.
"That golden sphere," Pan continued, "what was it?"
Goten chuckled. "It's called the Ball of Time. It has the power to rejuvenate anything."
"Rejuvenate?" Pan asked.
"Yep. Want me to turn you back into a kid?" Goten teased.
"No way!" Pan retorted, crossing her arms.
As they bantered, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta flew over, landing beside the group.
"Grandpa!" Pan called out, running to greet Goku.
Xeno Goku smiled and nodded. "Trunks, what happened to the Cosmic Tree?"
"Uncle Goku, Goten destroyed it," Trunks explained.
"Really? That's great!" Goku said, his relief evident.
"Now that it's done, let's head back," Trunks suggested.
"Agreed," Xeno Goku said, glancing at Vegeta.
Before leaving, Trunks turned to Goten. "See you later, Goten."
"Take care," Goten replied, waving as the Time Patrol left with Tokitoki.
Once they were gone, Goten teleported back to Earth, ready to enjoy a brief moment of peace.
