The Time Breakers' goal? Isn't it obvious? With all of these strong fighters in one place, Fuu could eliminate any potential threat to his rule as well as make the other timelines vulnerable for conquest. But, of course he'll play along like the Sound-Sand alliance during the Chuunin Exams in Naruto until he sees the ripe opportunity to unleash Hell.

No, what was his goal prior to learning about the tournament?

Fuu is haunted on how Towa and Mira were defeated by the Time Patrol and were thrown into The Void, where Time and Space cease to exist. Fuu can't revive Towa & Mira as they are trapped in The Void for all past, present, and future timelines. Its almost as they never existed and no one remembers them, save for Fuu. After conquering the realms of the far-flung future of his timeline (including the Afterlife), Fuu was looking for the knock-out punch and end the war once and for all. Lo and behold, the opportunity presents itself in the form of this tournament. With this, he could cement the Neo-Time Breaker rule for all time - past, present, and future.

Eh, I can't see this working out well. I think it would be better if the Time Breakers were working outside the tournament.

[DBZ_323]

I don't quite get what you mean? Timelines, as in like where Future Trunks is from? There is no way there's 16 of those, and those unlike universes don't have different characters. I assume you want something like DBM where each timeline is where something different happened? No offense meant but DBM's already been doing that forever and even DBS is basically doing a similar thing rn, so I don't think this is that original. Either way though, good luck and I might as well toss in a few ideas since I'm here.

Timeline 2: Bardock went SSJ and killed Freeza. Saiyans then basically took over the universe. Goku was killed for being a traitor. Conbatants: Bardock, Prince Vegeta, Raditz, Nappa

Timeline 3: Gohan kept training after Cell Games, became SSJ3 and one-shotted Buu when he was revived. Because of that Goku never came back to life. Combatants: Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten

Timeline 4: Goku accepted Vegeta's offer during their first and became his right-hand man on the condition Earth was spared and Gohan came along too, Vegeta went SSJ and killed Freeza on Namek and now rules the galaxy. Combatants: Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, ??? (Maybe some OC female saiyan)

Timeline 5: King Vegeta spared Broly and used him to destroy Freeza. Saiyans rule the galaxy (like in Timeline 2 but Broly's around as some sort of superweapon and Bardock's insignificant) Goku still gets killed for being a traitor Combatants: Broly, King Vegeta, Prince Vegeta, ??? (Nappa or Raditz maybe?)

Timeline 6: Future Trunks' timeline but instead of making a time machine, Bulma and Gohan go to New Namek and wish all the Z-Fighters back, Goku uses King Kai to tell them to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, they power-up and kill the androids. Combatants: Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta, Piccolo

It is what DBM is doing, I'm just calling them timelines instead of universes to avoid conflict with the canon 12 universes

And you're right that this isn't original. It's not trying to be

As to your ideas, they all seem somewhat Shallow. I think it'd be best to focus on one and expand it.

I already have an idea in mind for a Super Saiyan Bardock Time line, so i think the Best option would be the "Gohan keeps training" Timeline. Let's work on that one

Oh ok. But I meant to be vague, I was just tossing ideas out there, not fully-formed manuscripts. But in regards to working on the "Gohan training" timeline, I was thinking a little like this: After the Cell Games, Gohan blames himself for his father's death and decides he needs to be stronger to protect the world from any future threats, he goes back into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for another day and trains to master SSJ2 in the same way he and his father mastered SSJ and in the process he becames an SSJ3 and about as powerful as his canon Mystic/Ultimate form self. 7 years pass and Goku is back for a day and the whole Babidi comes to Earth to try and revive Majin Buu thing happens but Gohan is powerful enough to pretty much just one-shot everyone and no one dies. Goku returns to the OtherWorld and peace comes back. Everything in this universe is pretty much the same as DBZ right before BoG except Gohan is OP and Goku's dead. No Beerus in this timeline means no SSJG and when Frieza was ressurected, Gohan narrowly defeated him with a Spirit Bomb.

No problem. Just sharing my ideas.

[DBZ_323]

Okay, i'll wait for Shadow to get back before making a final decision

What did you think of my Concepts for Universe 3 and 4?

Both are good, I really like U4.

Thanks. Gonna go ahead and edit them into the OP

Now how about these two?


Timeline 5
Description: The Guardian of Earth adopted the son of his old rival Garlic after he sealed Garlic Away. He raised Garlic Junior into a force for good. Then years later he adopted a second son, the lost Saiyan child Kakarot. Then when the demon King Piccolo arrived Garlic and Kakarot defeated him. Piccolo left behind a son, and Kami again raised him into a force for good. Later, the Saiyans arrived on the arrived on the planet earth, and Kami's sons defeated them. However, at the end of the battle a single Saibaman survived. Kami's sons showed it mercy, and took it back to their father. As before Kami adopted the Saibaman and began training it. Thus, Kami's sons became his Elite 4, The four greatest warriors on earth
Combatants: Garlic Junior, Piccolo Jr., Kakarot, and Sai (The Saibaman)

Timeline 6
Description: Rather than creating a new android to be his lab assistent, Doctor Gero activated 16 to fill that role. 16's influence on Gero softened the mad doctor, and eventually Gero decided to turn his androids into a force for good rather than Evil.
Combatants: Androids 16, 17, and 18, plus Dr. Gero

I like the idea for Timeline 6 but to me it seems odd to have Garlic Jr as Kami's adopted son. Kakarot sure but Garlic Jr?

Hmm, an interesting couple of ideas, but How's about this.

Instead of having Gohan be at his Mystic Level after a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber he's at that level after the 7 Years of training. Additionally, Gohan's spent much of that time Training with Piccolo, so Piccolo is now much stronger as well.

As for Frieza, With Goku dead he takes slightly more time to train, so his attack is interrupted by Beerus arriving. Beerus then intimidates Frieza into putting his attack on hold and joining the tournament.

Meanwhile Gohan's focus on protecting the Earth resulted in him never meeting Videl

The combatants for this universe would be Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and Tagoma

I like the idea for Timeline 6 but to me it seems odd to have Garlic Jr as Kami's adopted son. Kakarot sure but Garlic Jr?

In this universe Garlic was only an infant when Kami sealed his father away, so he had no memories of his father growing up. Though Kami did tell him when he was older

I'm glad you did. If you have any more feel free to share

I like all this but don't see why it's necessary for Gohan not to be married with Videl?

Well the events necesary for them to meet would be substantially altered by the new timeline. They still could though, if that's want you really wanted

[ShadowBardock89]

How about a timeline where a mutant strain of Saibamen completely overtook the universe, planet by planet, and developed enough sentient intelligence to accept Beerus' offer?

Sounds very interesting, though we'd need to come up with 4 Saibaman OCs

[FoolsGil]

I have another one:

Timeline ???
Description: The Tuffles exterminated the Saiyans before Planet Plant's moon came into view. They spread their empire, even annexing planets like Earth, and are currently in a galaxy wide Civil War three way against the Planet Trade Organization and the Galaxy Police.
Combatants: (all use technology) Bulma, Atla the Arlian, Bebi (not a shapeshifter) Zeshin (from the Invisible Spaceship filler episode)

Why is Bebi not a shapeshifter here?

The Tuffles won. The Tuffle King would instead birth a son with his Queen named Bebi, instead of GT where Bebi was the DNA machine mixture of the Tuffle King.

Okay.

Well, Hatred of the Saiyans excepted, the Tuffles didn't seem like they were too evil. So, how's about we say the Tuffles allied with the Galactic patrol to fight the PTO. In response, King Cold seized the power of the Big Gete Star using his Son Frieza as a battery to fuel it. Thus the Competitors here are

Bulma, Jaco, Bebi, and Metal Cold.

Conquring planets and enslaving the natives is still kind of evil And I don't really like the idea of the Big Gete Star being added just because. I would be fine with Jaco and a normal King Cold just being the strongest representatives from their organizations, so they compete and keep the three way war.

Cool. What if Bebi's Tech included a miniaturized version of the Hatchiyak computer?

Sounds very interesting, though we'd need to come up with 4 Saibaman OCs

The infamous Red Saibaman (the alternate costume for the Saibamen in a lot of games) could be the Legendary Super Saibaman that Captain Ginyu feared in Budokai 3 and the source of the mutant batch,
The cunning Orange Saibaman that specializes in ambush tactics (I picture it looking very devious than a normal Saibaman, if that is even possible), the Yellow Saibaman that specializes in long range attacks (make its head and limbs elongated), and the Saiba Brute as seen in DBZ Sagas:
