Dragon Ball Z Infinity/Vision (episode)

Season 2, Episode 3
== Togota - Cold Open ==
The episode cold opens to the Yardrat town of Togota at night. At the center of the town, we see the Infinity Sword being held up by the Yardrat statue. Among the many people walking up and down the town square, one individual stood still. He looked up at the Infinity Sword with a soft grin. Zooming-in, we see that it’s Ramon.
After a few moments, he heard someone speak.
Unknown Voice: That’s quite the item you have there.
Ramon: Indeed. When the day comes, the possibilities will be endless.
Unknown Voice: Yes. For better or worse.
Ramon was bewildered by that statement. Turning around, he saw Shin with his assistant Kibito.
Shin: Your name is Ramon, correct?
Ramon: Yes. Uhm, who are you?
Shin: I am Shin. And my helper here is Kibito.
Kibito: He is the Supreme Kai.
Ramon’s eyes widened.
Ramon: The Supreme Kai? That sounds vaguely familiar.
Ramon went and shook the hands of Shin and Kibito.
Ramon: Nice to meet you. Are you the ruler of some distant world, Shin?
Shin chuckled.
Shin: Not quite. Let me show you something.
Shin opened the palm of his right hand and a blue transparent orb appeared. It contained many small white dots spread throughout.
Ramon: What is that?
Shin: It’s the universe.
Ramon’s eyes bulged out of his head in shock.
Ramon: That small thing is the universe!?
Shin: Yes, and all of the dots you see are the galaxies that make it up.
Ramon regained his composure. Cut to a slow zoom-in on Shin as he closed the palm of his hand. The orb disappeared.
Shin: The universe, as vast as it is, is delicate. Many have sought to destroy it. But as the Supreme Kai, my duty is to ensure that the universe’s destruction is not assured.
Cut back to a shot of the three.
Ramon: Why didn’t you do anything about Frieza then? His reign of terror lasted for decades.
Shin: There have been many despotic tyrants before Frieza, and there will be many after him. I don’t like to intermingle with the politics of the mortal realm…
Shin looked up at the Infinity Sword.
Shin: …unless the universe is at stake.
Ramon came to a realization.
Ramon: You want to take the sword.
Shin: Yes. It’ll be safer in our hands and if you ever need it, you can come to our planet to use it.
Ramon shook his head.
Ramon: No. I can’t. You need to understand that assembling the Infinity Sword is the greatest accomplishment that we’ve had in modern history.
Shin: I get that but…
Ramon: No! It took us years and tons of money to do this! I can’t just give the sword up! Do you have any idea how angry people will be?
Kibito: Hey!
Kibito encroached upon Ramon. Standing over the Yardrat, he said:
Kibito: You dare address the Supreme Kai like that? Where is your respect? 
Ramon looked up at him and didn’t respond.
Shin: Kibito, fall back.
Kibito returned to Shin’s side while still giving Ramon the stink eye.
Shin: I was the one that informed King Kai about Vollena’s return.
Ramon was surprised by this.
Ramon: Goku told us about Vollena while we were still hunting for the Infinity Sword parts. I can’t even imagine how things would’ve gone if we found out any later.
Shin: Goku and I are good friends. You know… why don’t you bring him here? He can vouch for me, but I really need that Infinity Sword now.
Ramon looked at the ground and breathed a heavy sigh.
Ramon: You’re not gonna leave unless I give it to you, huh?
Shin: I’m afraid not.
Ramon picked his head up and nodded. He flew up to the hand of the statue holding the Infinity Sword.
Shin: Are you sure you can pick it up?
Ramon: For a little bit.
Ramon took the Infinity Sword and felt the cosmic energies of the universe immediately flood his body. He gritted his teeth in astounding pain. A great rainbow aura surrounded him. Shin and Kibito looked on in amazement.
Ramon flew down and as he was about to hand the Infinity Sword to Shin, a flaring light suddenly engulfed the town. Everyone was momentarily blinded, including Shin and Kibito. After the light passed away, the townspeople were tripping over themselves, still dizzied from the light. Shin’s vision cleared and he found himself already holding the Infinity Sword.
Kibito: What just happened!?
Ramon: It’s the sword. There’s still a lot to figure out about it.
Shin: My word! I couldn’t see anything at all!
Ramon: Are you two good now?
Shin rubbed his eyes before answering.
Shin: Yes, for the most part.
Shin offered a handshake and Ramon took it.
Shin: Thank you, Ramon. I know this sword means a lot to you and your people. Like I said before, you can get Goku to vouch for me. I’m sure he has great rapport around here.
Ramon: Right.
Kibito didn’t offer a handshake to Ramon. He simply opted for an unsettling glare. Ramon was slightly disturbed by it.
Shin: Teleport to my signature if you ever need the sword.
Ramon nodded. After that, the Supreme Kai and his assistant instantaneously went back to the Sacred World of the Kai. Ramon looked back up at the statue. It now held nothing.
Cut to the opening title sequence and credits.
== Earth - Morning at the Car Wash ==
Cut to Goku and Chi-Chi inside their red convertible car, about to enter the car wash. Goku set the car in neutral before it went forward. The top of the car was sealed up.
Goku: I could've just hand washed this car back at the house.
Chi-Chi: I know, but there's just something about going to the car wash. I've always enjoyed it ever since I was a kid.
The sprayers came on and gushed the car around with soap water foam.
Goku: Yeah?
Chi-Chi: Yeah. When I was younger, my dad would take me to the car wash in this car. I was amazed by all the moving parts. It almost felt like an amusement ride.
The wipers started rubbing down the car all around.
Chi-Chi: Dad would whistle this really calming tune.
Flashback to a young Ox-King whistling with Chi-Chi's eyes closed, happy.
Chi-Chi (voice): It would almost put me to sleep.
Cut back to the present.
Chi-Chi: That's the only thing missing now.
Goku: Maybe your dad could teach me.
Chi-Chi giggled.
Chi-Chi: That would be so sweet. 
Goku rested his hands behind his head.
== Gohan's House ==
Cut to the living room inside Gohan's House. In the same manner as his father, Goten also had his hands behind his head. He sat on one of the couches. Pan was right beside Goten, lying on his side.
Gohan and Videl, both in business-formal wear, walked breezily towards the door.
Gohan: You know what to do. No candy and no sugary drinks before noon. Always keep an eye on her. We'll let you know when we're coming back.
Goten: Okay. Got it. See ya soon.
Gohan: See ya.
Videl: Bye, Goten.
Videl blew a kiss while Gohan waved bye. Goten waved back before the couple left and the door was shut.
Goten looked down at his niece with a grin.
Goten: So what are we going to do today, Pan?
Pan looked back up at her uncle. She stared for a few moments, then began crying profusely. The commotion threw Goten into a small panic.
Goten: Oh geez! I didn't think you'd start with this already!
Goten set her aside on the couch and dashed to the kitchen. He quickly opened the fridge and found the breast milk on the top-right shelf.
Grabbing it, a black mist overtook the kitchen. Goten was then abruptly transported to a destroyed city. He looked around and saw dozens of individuals with white spiky hair. They were either killing or subjugating the city populace. Goten saw ki blasts and bullets flying all over the place. 
Three more people suddenly flew down in front of Goten, pointing ki blasts at him.
Spiky-Haired Man #1: Bow down and submit to Vollena.
Goten shook his head.
Goten: What the heck is going on?
Spiky-Haired Man #1: SUBMIT TO HIM NOW!!!
Goten powered up.
Goten: Vollena is dead!
Goten punched Spiky-Haired Man #1 square in the face, launching him through several buildings. The other two minions looked at their fallen compatriot, then back at Goten utterly shocked. But their amazement was brief. Their loyalty remained eternally towards the God-king Vollena.
Spiky-Haired Woman #1: DIE!
The feisty underling rolled her fingers in like claws and attempted two strikes on Goten. The half-Saiyan warrior dodged both easily and sweep kicked her as a counter. While she was still in mid-air knocked off balance, Goten gave her a roundhouse kick to the stomach—sending her far into the city horizon. Goten looked at the last standing minion.
Goten: You wanna take a shot?
Spiky-Haired Man #2 remained mute. He shot a blazing energy wave to which Goten deflected it up into the sky. Leaving a great aerial explosion. Spiky-Haired Man #2 rushed in against Goten and the two fighters entered into a tussle of high-speed punches and kicks. Goten saw an opening and gave the spiky-haired man a hefty uppercut under the chin. As the minion was launched upward, Goten flew up and gave fast pursuit.
High above the ruined city, he went in with a strong kick. Spiky-Haired Man #2 blocked it just in time. Goten continuously kicked him with alternating legs, pulverizing his enemy’s forearms. The tension was building. The Vollena underling couldn’t hold up his arms any longer. It was over when his arms gave way. Goten punched him hard in the chest, completely knocking the minion out. He dropped like a dead fly.
Goten took a deep breath.
Goten: This is crazy. What happe-
Goten avoided a sudden ki blast that came down higher from the sky.
Goten: What the!?
He looked up and his face was rife with horror. Cutting to his point of view, we see hundreds of ki blasts and energy waves raining down from the sky. All from an army of Vollena’s sympathizers.
Cut to a panoramic view of the raining hellfire bringing absolute devastation to the city.
Cut back to a third-person view focusing on Goten, he transformed into a Super Saiyan. He tried deflecting as many energy waves and ki blasts away from the city as possible. Many were brushed aside, but many more made a direct impact. As the explosions consumed the metropolis, Goten realized his efforts were futile. He shook his head in disbelief.
Goten: No. They’re not all dead. This… this is not REAL!
Familiar Voice: You’re right about the first part.
Goten immediately looked up at the direction of the voice.
Goten: No way! YOU’RE DEAD!
The voice laughed.
Familiar Voice: You really think a Gemrant can die?
Many people arose from the ashes of the city. All of whom swore allegiance to Vollena. They all flew up and deathly stared at Goten. An ominous figure descended from the army above with hands behind the back. The army ceased fire.
Ominous Figure: Gemrants are forever.
When the figure came within a couple hundred feet of Goten, the half-Saiyan’s eyes lit up. It was Vollena utilizing the full power of himself and Gohan’s body.
Goten: Gohan!
Vollena: Ah, ah, ah. Remember that Gohan is gone. I am wholly God-king Vollena.
Goten’s anger boiled over and his yellow aura shined brightly across the sky.
Goten: I don’t care if you’re real or not! I’m gonna kill you for what you did to my brother, my best friend, and the people of Earth!
Vollena flew forward until they were a hundred feet apart.
Vollena: Such fire in you. I thought you were the morally righteous one and I the villain.
Goten: I’m not the one destroying the planet and enslaving people. Don’t play your sick mind games with me.
Vollena: Alright, fine. But how the hell do you plan on killing me? Do I have to remind you of the circumstances?
Goten: I’ll find a way.
Vollena nodded his head, slightly amused.
Vollena: Splendid.
Vollena then rushed in at the blink of an eye and drilled his hand through Goten’s abdomen.
A moment later, Goten was abruptly transported back to the kitchen. Pan was tugging on his leg to give her the breast milk. Goten’s breathing was heavy. He shakily picked up the crying baby and gave her the milk she so desperately wanted. Her crying almost immediately stopped. Goten rocked his body side to side, further calming the baby down.
Goten: Everything is gonna be alright. Everything is gonna be alright.
He kissed Pan on the forehead and repeated those words softly. The repetition became so automatic, that one thing revealed to be unclear: whether he was saying those words for Pan, or for himself. Cut to black.
== Oonishi Mountain - Afternoon outside of Tien's Dojo ==
Fade open outside of Tien’s dojo, we see Ramon anxiously waiting for Goku’s arrival. Tien’s class of students began filing out of the dojo. Just then, Goku appeared on the scene. Right beside Ramon by way of Instant Transmission.
Goku: Hey Ramon!
Ramon: Hey Goku. Are you familiar with a guy named Shin?
Goku: Shin? Like Supreme Kai Shin?
Ramon: Yes! So you do know him?
Goku: Yeah. He’s a pretty cool guy. I’m surprised you know about him.
Ramon: He visited my town in Yardrat last night essentially forcing me to give him the Infinity Sword.
Goku’s face lit up with shock.
Goku: What?
Ramon: Yeah. And don’t get me started on his assistant.
Ramon crossed his arms and made up his face.
Goku: Kibito?
Ramon: Yep. He’s quite the rude fellow.
Goku scratched the back of his head and softly chuckled.
Goku: Kibito’s always been like that. He’s loosened up a bit since I met him, but I guess old habits die hard. Did Shin tell you why he took the Infinity Sword?
Ramon: He said that-
Tien: Goku, Ramon!
Tien and Chiaotzu appeared at the entrance of the dojo.
Tien: Ready whenever you are!
Ramon: I’ll tell you later.
Cut to the inside of the dojo. Goku and Ramon walked into the dojo and saw something remarkable. Tien and Chiaotzu smiled with glee.
Tien: Notice anything?
Goku and Ramon could now faintly see the Blaze of Might. 
Goku: Hey, that’s neat!
Tien: You two have already made great progress. Why don’t you try putting your hand in there now.
Goku & Ramon (in unison): No thanks.
Cut to a brief shot of the dojo exterior. Then cut to a brief shot of the greater Oonishu Mountain Range.
Cutting back to the inside of the dojo a few minutes later, Goku, Ramon, Tien, and Chiaotzu were sitting down on the floor, legs crossed. Tien & Chiaotzu faced Goku & Ramon. All of their eyes were closed in a meditative state.
Tien and Chiaotzu put their hands together in a praying manner. Then they pointed their hands across from them. They made their hands into a circle formation and moments later, a very faint purple aura came over them. Goku and Ramon followed Tien and Chiaotzu’s lead, repeating their hand movements.
Tien: This is the essence of putting your mind at ease. It’s called the Antidote Rebirth. You will have a much easier time spotting mental tricks and defending against them by doing this.
A faint purple aura came over Goku, but nothing for Ramon. The Yardrat was visibly anxious over something. Ramon opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of frustration. The other three then opened their eyes.
Tien: What’s on your mind, Ramon?
Ramon: Nothing. I just need a glass of water.
Tien: Help yourself.
While Ramon went to get himself some water, Goku peered at him with a concerned look.
== Rocky Basin ==
Cut to a rocky basin where Vegeta and Trunks continue their training. Trunks flew at Vegeta with an iron fist at hyper speed. But Vegeta dodged it at the last second. Trunks looked around wondering where his father went and then saw that he was way up above him. It wasn’t for long, though, as Vegeta plummeted down with an axe kick.
Trunks quickly held up his forearms to block it. However, the kick’s great power caused the ground beneath Trunks to tremble. A pocket of the ground then caved in, causing Trunks to lose his footing. Vegeta took the advantage to throw a set of punches, but his son avoided them like the plague.
Except one. Vegeta landed a punch right in the gut. He then kicked Trunks across the basin. Trunks hastily got up and dusted himself off. Vegeta was zooming in on him. In response, Trunks powered up and fired his God Breaker energy wave. Vegeta avoided the God Breaker but didn’t see his son swiftly appear in front of him. Trunks landed a strike right in Vegeta’s kisser, sending him hard down to the ground. Vegeta got up, mildly impressed with Trunks.
Vegeta: Nice tactics.
Trunks grinned.
Trunks: I only learned it from the best.
Trunks’ phone began to ring. He curiously pulled it out and saw that it was Goten calling.
== Gohan’s House - Outside a few minutes later ==
Trunks walked up to the front door of Gohan’s house. He previously changed out of his banged up fighter gi into a set of fresh casual clothes. Trunks knocked on the door.
Trunks: Goten?
Cut to the inside of the house. In the living room, Goten watched Pan as she played with maracas. He heard the knock on the door and walked there to open it.
Goten: Hey Trunks.
Trunks: Hey.
They fist bumped, then walked to the living room. Goten closed the door behind him. Pan cheered happily upon seeing Trunks.
Trunks: Hey Pan! Wow! You’re getting so big already!
Goten: She really is.
Trunks turned to Goten.
Trunks: So you wanna talk?
Goten: Yeah.
The two of them sat on the couch while Pan was on the floor a few feet away.
Goten: I guess I’ll start with this… when you defeated Vollena, did you destroy him?
Trunks: Yeah. Absolutely. You and everyone saw it.
Goten nodded half-heartedly.
Trunks: You think he’s still out there somewhere?
Goten: I… I don’t know. I keep seeing him in my dreams, but those aren’t real.
Trunks: So what’s the big deal then?
Goten hesitated before answering. He got up from the couch and brought Pan to the kitchen so she couldn’t hear. Goten walked back to the couch where he could still see her. He then answered:
Goten: I got the most vivid daydream today while I was getting milk for Pan. It was almost like a vision into the future.
Trunks: What happened?
Goten briefly pointed to the kitchen.
Goten: One minute I was in the kitchen, the next I was suddenly in a destroyed city. It was—It was rampant with Vollena’s soldiers. They killed EVERYONE that didn’t follow his orders. I took down three of them, but there were just too many to hold back the destruction.
Trunks was a tad unsettled.
Goten: Then there he was, Vollena.
Cut back to Vollena staring down Goten over the destroyed city. Slow zoom-out.
Goten (voice): He possessed Gohan like before, but I sensed that he was somehow even stronger. Vollena was gonna kill me if the vision didn’t end right before it happened.
Cut back to the living room.
Trunks: My gosh, Goten. That—That sounds real intense. But a daydream is still a dream, and like you said, it’s not real.
Goten: I know, but… I don’t want there to even be a 1% chance that he’s still out there.
Trunks patted Goten’s left shoulder.
Trunks: Which is why I made sure there is no trace left of him. Anywhere.
Goten: You were also under a lot of pain and you clearly were going through a hate-fueled adrenaline rush.
Trunks was about to quickly respond, but pondered on what Goten said. Trunks saw a lot of the finer details of reality when he held the Infinity Sword. But it was hard to focus on it all while trying to destroy a genocidal megalomaniac under nearly-passing-out levels of pain.
Goten: Can you honestly say there’s not a trace left of him?
Trunks sighed and removed his hand from Goten’s shoulder. After a few moments of contemplation, he said:
Trunks: I’m 99% sure. And I’m gonna work on making sure that becomes 100%.
Goten felt secured in Trunks' declaration and grinned. The two best friends then clasped hands in solidarity.
== Outer Space - 16 Days away from Namek ==
Cut to Madden’s ship in the outer reaches of space. Cut to the interior in the training room, we see Thrune and Amelia. Thrune held a small green ball.
Thrune: You’re going to learn how to dodge attacks effectively.
Amelia: With that ball?
Thrune threw the ball with force, smacking Amelia hard in the face.
Amelia: OW! WHAT THE HELL!?
A red mark appeared where the ball landed on her face.
Thrune: You have to be ready.
Thrune chucked the ball at her face again, she barely avoided it. The ball bounced back from the wall to Thrune’s hand. He threw it again at Amelia’s abdomen, striking it.
Amelia: AH!
Thrune: Come on! If you can’t handle this, then you’ll never be ready for Namek!
Amelia started to get angry. Thrune tossed the ball at her abdomen and avoided it, then at her face and she avoided that. Thrune then dashed forward and suddenly punched her right in the face. Amelia tumbled to the ground. Tears started rolling down her eyes.
Thrune: You have two options: either stay down and cry, or get up and fight ‘til your last breath.
Amelia remained on the ground, sobbing. Thrune turned his back.
Thrune: So be it.
Moments later, however, Amelia got up. Her bawling turned to fury. She got up and yelled out. A red aura came over her and she rushed at Thrune. The Namekian dodged a kick from her and countered with a swing. Amelia moved her head out of the way, then jumped up into the air. She fired a ki blast to which Thrune vaulted away from.
Thrune: How did you do that!? I didn’t teach you anything about energy attacks!
The ki blast explosion shook up the ship. It awoke a sleeping Lavender and angered Madden.
Amelia touched back down on the ground and hurled a flurry of jabs at her trainer. Thrune blocked all of them, then punched Amelia a bit harder in the face. She was stunned and fell to the ground. That’s when Madden burst in.
Madden: What are you two doing in here!?
Thrune: We were training, but Amelia had this sudden explosion of power! I don’t know what caused it. Seriously!
Madden: Well whatever it is, please-
Amelia quickly got up and charged at a surprised Thrune. She landed two gut punches and an uppercut. Madden was utterly shocked. Amelia backed off and her aura relinquished.
Amelia: I’ll keep going ‘til my last breath, Thrune.
Lavender: Can you two “keep going” a bit quieter?
Lavender sulked into the training room half-asleep.
== Earth - Sunset at a Canyon Peak ==
Cut to Goku and Ramon sitting down looking out at the sunset, legs hanging over a cliff.
Goku: Wanna tell me what was up with you today?
Ramon: Everything that Tien was trying to teach me, y’know the Antidote Rebirth and all that, I–I just couldn’t get my mind focused.
Goku: It’s about the Infinity Sword, isn’t it?
Ramon sighed.
Ramon: Yeah. What I wanted to tell you earlier is that I didn’t actually give Shin the Infinity Sword.
Goku: Wait… you didn’t?
Ramon shook his head.
Ramon: No. When I was about to give him the real thing, there was a blinding flash of light. That’s when I used the real sword to quickly construct a fake one. To Shin, he thinks he has the sword because it looks and feels like the real thing. But in reality, the real deal is still held up at the statue.
Goku: Wow! Okay.
Ramon: Yeah, I’m not sure how long he’ll buy the fakeout.
Goku: You probably got him for good. I’d be more worried about Old Kai.
Ramon: Hmm? Who’s that?
Goku: He’s basically Shin, but much older and wiser. A bit perverted too.
Ramon comically scoffed.
Ramon: Seriously? Aren’t these people supposed to be the gods of the universe? Where’s the decorum?
Goku shrugged his shoulders.
Goku: Gods, aliens, they’re all just people at the end of the day. They’re “all-powerful” until someone even stronger takes that title.
Ramon: That’s a very poignant thing to say, Goku.
Goku: Uh sorry, what does poignant mean?
Ramon laughed, making Goku chuckle.
Ramon: Ahhh, I needed this.
Goku: Hey, maybe you can try doing the Antidote Rebirth now that your head is cleared.
Ramon: Sure! Why not?
Goku and Ramon got up, still facing the sunset.
Goku: By the way, do you know how to whistle?
Ramon: Oh yeah. Most certainly.
Cut to a beautiful panoramic view of the canyon where the sunset is front-and-center on the horizon. Fade to black. End credits.
