Goten: *He stands up abruptly, his aura flickering.* Wait, what? Time travel? I don't think that's a good-
Suddenly, Goten's aura flares violently, engulfing him in a blinding light.
Melody: *She reaches out towards Goten.* Goten! What's happening?
A rift in space-time tears open, swallowing Goten before anyone can react.
Beerus: *He throws his hands up.* Great! Just great! Now we've got a Saiyan loose in the timestream! I told you not to do it...
Goten tumbles through the rift, landing unceremoniously in what appears to be West City.
Goten: *He stumbles to his feet, looking around.* Ugh... where am I? When am I?
A familiar voice catches his attention.
Valese: *She waves from across the street.* Goten, honey! Over here!
Goten: *His jaw drops.* V-Valese? But how...
As Goten approaches Valese, he notices subtle changes in the cityscape.
Valese: *She touches his arm.* Are you okay? You look like you might've seen a ghost.
Goten: *He blinks rapidly.* I... yeah, I'm fine. Just feeling a bit off.
A newspaper stand catches Goten's eye, the date confirming his suspicions.
Goten: *He swallows hard.* Hey, Valese... what's been happening lately? With, uh, the world and stuff?
Valese: *She tilts her head, finding the question odd.* Oh, you know, same old. Though people are still talking about that weird light in the sky last week.
Goten's heart races as he realizes the implications.
Goten: *He runs a hand through his hair.* Light in the sky? What kind of light?
Valese: *She shrugs.* Some kind of cosmic anomaly, they said. Your mom seemed pretty worked up about it.
A nearby TV screen flickers with breaking news.
News anchor: *He adjusted his papers.* Scientists warn of increasing gravitational disturbances. Experts are baffled by the sudden shift in Earth's magnetic field. Wondering amongst themselves if that strange light had anything to do with what's curently happening.
Goten: *His face pales.* No... it can't be. What have I done?
Valese: *She squeezes his hand.* Goten, you're scaring me. What's wrong?
The ground trembles beneath their feet, a stark reminder of the cosmic imbalance.
Goten: *He clenches his fists.* I'm sorry, Valese. I made the wrong choice, and now everything's falling apart.
Valese: *She steps back.* What are you talking about? What choice?
Goten: *His aura begins to flicker.* I have to fix this. I have to go back.
As Goten's aura intensifies, the world around him starts to blur.
Valese: *She reaches for him.* Goten, wait! Don't leave me!
Goten: *He looks at her one last time.* I'm sorry, Valese. But this isn't right. I have to make things balance again.
