Spoiler:

Is platinum a color or just a material?

Both. Platinum is a grayish-white metallic tint.

[ShadowBardock89]

Spoiler:

Platinum has been a color since 1918.

[jcogginsa]

FoolsGil, are you okay with Platinum Cooler?

[FoolsGil]

FoolsGil, are you okay with Platinum Cooler?

No problem.

[jcogginsa]

okay then. Any preference between blue or purple skin?

[FoolsGil]

okay then. Any preference between blue or purple skin?

Is there a reason he turns blue if that's chosen?

[jcogginsa]

okay then. Any preference between blue or purple skin?

Is there a reason he turns blue if that's chosen?

If Blue is chosen then it will be an intentional diversion from Canon. In order words, he's blue here for out of universe reasoning, not in universe reasoning. So he'd have always had blue skin here, and never had purple.

The other two options are

1. His skin is majority white like Frieza's, outside of his Platinum form

2. His base form looks the same as canon

keep him purple

Okay then.

Been doing some thinking about T5 Tagoma

Spoiler:

1. In this timeline, both Tagoma and Shisame served as Frieza's training partners, thus forming a very strong friendship. During Golden Frieza's assault on Earth, Shisame was killed, resulting in Tagoma bearing a serious grudge on T5 Piccolo and the other Piccolo's as a result
2. Tagoma is also a fan of the Ginyu force and at some point in the tournament asks for their autographs. When Burter is announced as his Opponent, Frieza orders him to go for the kill. Burter's power up renders him very difficult to beat, causing Jeice to vow revenge.
3. Once Frieza dies, Tagoma pledges allegiance to T7 King Kold. During Kold's match with Bebi, Bebi wins by using a ghost warrior of Mutaito to seal away King Kold. After Bebi is defeated, Tagoma frees King Kold from him. However, Kold is almost immediately killed afterwards,leaving Tagoma masterless
4. Tagoma is defeated in round two by Piccolo, though Piccolo does help him out of the ring afterwards, giving him some advice in the process and urging him to abandon the path of evil
5. At the end of the tournament, T5 Gohan and Piccolo approach him, and offer him a deal: They'll allow him to use the Dragonballs to revive Shisami if he gives up his life of evil.

Spoiler:

Mutaito would have died long before the Tuffle Empire would have come around. Besides, I thought you wanted Bebi to take control of Hatchiyak. Second, Piccolo doesn't trust easy, and Tagoma and Sorbet are the reason why Freeza is back-he's not going to urge Tagoma to stop being evil, he will kill him the first chance he gets. And neither Piccolo or Gohan is Goku. Even if they were kind enough to give Tagoma a second chance, which they aren't, they don't talk to King Kai, so they can't keep track if Tagoma is keeping his word, and they don't know Instant Transmission, so they wouldn't be able to come after Tagoma if he does break his word.

Scene 8

Spoiler:

"Man, those guys were slower than molasses. I almost thought I was drifting off to sleep!" Recoome chuckled. The hulking mutant wore on his head a headband labeled 'T14' like the rest of his squad. He looked towards Jeice and Burter, expecting them to join in his revelry, but they had looks of stone.

"The other two...they were as fast as me." Burtur lied-they were far faster. He didn't even see the heroes take action. The murderous cyborgs were first flying at Gero, and then they were on the ground. "T...this won't be an easy win for us."

"Burtur my boy, I find your lack of faith disturbing." Burter, Jeice, and Recoome looked to their Captain-nay, Emperor. Having discarded the top of his Tokusentai uniform a long time ago, his tapioca toned skin was accented by his heaving biceps, rippling arms and shoulders perfect pecs, and taut tummy. His humanoid face had a mischievous grin permanently etched on his lips, and above his head were large tufts of hair that went in just about every direction, with a blue scouter covering his eyes like they were some futuristic goggles.

"Those freaks were slower than frozen toothpaste being squeezed out in a hailstorm." Ginyu said in Broly's voice. "Don't you ever lump me in with the rest of you. I'm in a class of my own." His eyes flickered towards Burter, who was suddenly flush in a cold sweat.

"Yes Capta-Emperor! I did not mean to-"

Yes, yes, stop groveling." Ginyu said. "Anyways, with me, inhabiting the body of the Legendary Super Saiyan, there is no one who who will be able to stop me." At this he started to laugh, and was pleased to see Recoome and Burtur laughing with him, but noticed how unusually silence Jeice was being.

"Lord, look." Jeice pointed forward. Ginyu was still chuckling a bit, but when he looked towards where Jeice was pointing, his laugh died in his throat, along with the rest of the Ginyu Force, now all stone faced: It was Broly, the actual Broly, and he had a headband labled 'T3.'

Scene 8 looks good

Spoiler:

Mutaito would have died long before the Tuffle Empire would have come around. Besides, I thought you wanted Bebi to take control of Hatchiyak. Second, Piccolo doesn't trust easy, and Tagoma and Sorbet are the reason why Freeza is back-he's not going to urge Tagoma to stop being evil, he will kill him the first chance he gets. And neither Piccolo or Gohan is Goku. Even if they were kind enough to give Tagoma a second chance, which they aren't, they don't talk to King Kai, so they can't keep track if Tagoma is keeping his word, and they don't know Instant Transmission, so they wouldn't be able to come after Tagoma if he does break his word.

Spoiler:

Bebi does take control of Hatchiyak, in the first round. He fights Cold in the third round, and tries to kill him using a Frieza Ghost Warrior. Frieza's not strong enough, forcing Bebi to use a more subtle approach. And while the Tuffles came after Mutaito, they were able to recreate him via historical research. That, or we replace him with a Roshi Ghost Warrior.

Remember, this is T9 Piccolo who gives Tagoma the urge. He's already fused with Kami, and is was raised by him beforehand. He's a lot more forgiving than T1 and T5 Piccolo.

As for why the T5 warriors spare Tagoma: By the end of the tournament Gohan's gonna be much stronger than Tagoma, strong enough that Tagoma could never hope to fight back. Killing someone who has no chance of defending himself puts a bad taste in Gohan's mouth, so he gives Tagoma the chance to change his ways. If Tagoma refuses, Gohan can take solace in the fact that he tried.

-Timeline 3 Cell notices his friend looking tense, and asks him what's wrong. Broly doesn't answer, but glances at a Goku with inhuman looking eyes, wearing a number 15 headband. Cell notices and says he thought he'd moved past that. Broly says he did, but Kakarot still puts him in a bad mood

- Dabura and Ledgic, also wearing Timeline 3 Headbands, walk up with bowls of food. Broly asks wear they got it, sounding excited at the prospect of food. Dabura points to a food stand being run by another alternate Kakarot. Broly curses, prompting Cell to laugh.

Scene 9

Spoiler:

Over with the aforementioned Saiyan, he was deep in thought, until he was jolted out of his ruminations by a question.

"What's got you so tense?"

Broly turned to look at the speaker, though he already knew who it was. His oldest friend, Cell. Cell, for his part, looked similar to how he had those years ago, when they'd fought nearly to the death, with the exception that he now sported a part of pauldrons and an armored battle skirt, not unlike a set of Saiyan armor. Broly knew these changes were cosmetic, they didn't made a difference in regards to his strength. But his friend liked to change up his look every now and then, so Broly let it be. Broly for his part wore a par of purple pants and no shirt, though his did have a set of partial chest armor that was popular on the planet Yardrat.

Broly chose not to to answer his friend verbally, but instead glanced toward the object of his discomfort. A man who, to all obvious appearances, looked identical to Son Goku, with one exception. He bore a pair of cold, inhuman eyes. The number on his headband was 15

Cell sighed. "I thought you were over this."

"I know I was foolish to blame my ills on him, but even so. Being around Kakarot still puts me in a bad mood. "

"Oh well," Cell replied, "Nobody's perfect."

The phrase brought a smile to Broly's face, for they reminded him of his history with his friend, and that always put him in a good mood.

The smell of delicious food wafted into Broly's nose, and he turned. Walking up with large drumsticks in their hands were Cell and Broly's two co-workers, Ledgic and the former demon king Dabura.

"Where did you get that?" Broly asked, licking his lips. Wordlessly, Dabura pointed. Broly turned in the indicated direction, and saw a food stand. However, to the Saiyans dismay, the man running it was yet another Kakarot.

Cell let out a hardy laugh

Spoiler:

Right, T9 Piccolo...okay that sounds good then. And Ghost Warrior Roshi is better.

I guess I'll start on scene 12.

Spoiler:

I think T2 should have human spectators that were filler characters in the series, As well as members of Tapion and Minotia's Race. Maybe even throw in some Namekians.

Spoiler:

I limited it to just named characters or Characters with connections to the fighters. So there would be some extras in with most of the groups, they just weren't mentioned.

[jcogginsa]

Scene One
- We began just after Champa has left. Beerus is thinking about Champa's challenge and thinking of who he'll put on his team. He says Goku is a given, as he gave Beerus "His Greatest Challenge Yet"

-Goku pipes in with a suggestion that Beerus hold a tournament. Whis thinks it's a good idea and Beerus comes around to it. Goku gets excited, but Beerus bluntly tells him he can't compete, since he's already been picked for the team.

-Vegeta gets annoyed that he isn't also already on the team. Beerus says he's actually had a serious fight with Goku, and that's why he gets an automatic in. Beerus then glares at Vegeta and asks him if he wants to "Have a try out." Vegeta nonchalantly says "A tournament could be interesting"

-Goku asks who else would be in the tournament. Beerus says he have the Supreme Kai of Time gather Fighters from across the alternate timelines. Goku is confused, and says "I thought you had to make a team from this universe?"

- Whis explains the difference between a Timeline and a Universe. Each Universe has multiple timelines, managed by the Supreme Kai of Time, and that the Primary Timeline is whichever one the Hakaishin lives on. There's only one Beerus in all the time stream. Any object he destroys here is destroyed in all other Timelines as well

-Goku still doesn't get it. The others face palm

Scene One

Spoiler:

The God of Destruction of Universe Seven, Beerus, was deep in thought. His brother Champa and his attendent had just left to prepare for their upcoming tournament. A battle between two teams, his and his brothers.

"Hmm, I'll need five men," Beerus said as he sat in the shade of a tree. He turned to look at Goku, one of the two Saiyans Whis had begun training on his planet, and said, "Goku, you're that obvious choice. No one has yet given me as great a challenge as you. Now I just need to decide who else should fight."

"Why don't you hold a tournament?" Goku suggested with his ever present grin.

Beerus shot him an annoyed look, and sniped, "We are holding a tournament you fool. I need to decide who to send!"

"No, I mean why don't you throw a tournament to scout out fighters? The Top 4 could be who you pick as your team."

"That sounds like a marvelous idea," Whis commented.

Beerus considered it for a moment, then spoke, "Yes, I do believe that will work out. I'll hold a tournament to decide the group."

"Sweet!" Goku shouted, giddy at the prospect of a good fight.

"Don't get ahead of yourself! You can't compete, you've already been chosen!"

Goku's jaw dropped, whilst Vegeta growled "Why is he locked in and not me? I'm just as strong as he is!"

"Unlike you, Goku has managed to give me a serious fight. That's why he's already on the team," Beerus responded, before fixing a menacing glare on Vegeta, "Would you care to try out and see if you make the cut?"

Vegeta looked away and said, "No sir, a Tournament sounds interesting."

"Thought so," Beerus grinned.

"Moving on, now we just need to find a stable of combatants to fill out this tournament," Whis interjected.

"Eh, I'll probably just tell the Supreme Kai of Time to grab some from the other Timelines," Beerus said shrugging.

"Wait, I thought you had to pick fighters from this universe?" Goku asked, scratching the back of his head.

"There's a difference between a Universe and a Timeline," Whis explained, "Each pair of Twin Universes has a core timeline through which they both bud. Then, within that universe the resident God of Destruction selects a Timeline to live in, which becomes the Primary Timeline. From that point, the alternate timelines begin to emerge from deviations within the Primary Timeline. This grand timestream is managed by the Supreme Kai of Time. Beerus is the only Beerus in all of the timestream, but what ever he destroys in one timeline is destroyed in all timelines."

Goku's head tilted to the side, "I don't get it."

The other three planted their hands firmly into their faces
