Last time on Dragon Ball Xenoverse Z, the Time Patrol has recruited the Saiyan named Yamota and is beginning a test, to see if he's truly up to what's about to come ahead. Being placed in the era where Goku and Piccolo fought Raditz to save the young Gohan, Yamota joins the fight to test his strength. However, the unknown power is nigh on surfacing from the brother of Goku.
Will the fighters emerge victorious? Find out now.

Both Yamota and Goku charge towards Raditz, exchanging punches towards the Saiyan while Piccolo, less with one arm, begins to charge his attack. The fight begins to tip in Raditz's favor as he grabs Yamota by the leg and tosses him toward Goku, sending him flying a few feet away. Yamota recovers as Goku begins to recover and ascend towards the air.
Raditz: Aren't you persistent?
Goku begins to cup his hands behind his back, charging an attack.
Goku: KAMEHAME!!!!! HAAAA!!!!!
Firing the Kamehameha, the blue wave of energy begins to hurl towards Raditz after he suspects both Goku and Piccolo's attacks rising with his scouter. Goku then begins to bend the Kamehameha towards Raditz, chasing him as he then stops and places his hand forward.
Raditz: Fine! Let's have it your way!
He then blocks the attack as the entire area around him begins to cover itself in smoke.
Yamota: *coughing* ... Man, that attack is cool. 'I've gotta learn to properly utilize my Ki to learn that technique after this.'
The smoke begins to clear itself as Goku then appears behind Raditz, grabbing his tail and paralyzing him of his movement.
Goku: Gotcha!
Raditz: What the- Hey! Let go of me!
Before Yamota could speak, his scouter begins to sound in as Chronoa begins to speak.
Chronoa (Scouter): Can you hear me? Is this working?
Yamota: Supreme Kai of Time? What's going on?
Chronoa (Scouter): Listen. For what's about to happen, let it play out. It may look terrible, but that's just how history is suppose to be. We're in the clear, since that ominous energy that's been surrounding this time period hasn't surfaced yet. But don't let your guard down.
Yamota nods as he lets events play out. Raditz falsely begs for his life, which makes Goku recklessly let go and gets kicked down on the ground.
Goku: Y- You lied!
Raditz: You really think I would be fooled? I'm not one to give up that easily.
He then kicks Goku on the ground, planting his feet on his chest to hurt him more. He then turns towards Piccolo and Yamota.
Raditz: Well, go on, fire off your attack! I'm sure you two have some tricks up your sleeve.
Piccolo: Dammit, I can't. He'll just dodge it again.
Yamota: Damn.
Suddenly, out of the crater, the space pod begins to burst open and explode as Gohan emerges, landing on his feet and enraged as he glares at Raditz.
Piccolo: !!!
Raditz: WHAT?!!!
Yamota: Holy!
Raditz: What is this? Impossible.
Yamota: He's not kidding... That kid... he... what?
Chronoa (Scouter): This is Gohan's hidden power. Rage is what gives him more power. It's all because of the Beast that's within him. This is how history should play out.
Goku: G-Gohan... Run!... Run away! Gohan, run! GOHAN, RUN!!!!
Raditz: H- his power level... It's... It's at 1307!
The power begins to surround Gohan, covered in a red aura as it was about to erupt.
Gohan: You stop hurting... MY DADDY!!!!!!
With rage boosting him, Gohan charges towards Raditz at high speed, not allowing him time to think or move.
With a full charge, Gohan manages to knock back Raditz as he stumbles backwards, gasping for air. Gohan however, lands on the ground, tired and dazed from his attack.
Yamota: Whoa... 'Some power.'
Goku: G- Gohan?
Gohan: *gets up* D- Daddy!
Goku: Did you-
Gohan: *tears* You're hurt, Daddy.
Yamota's Scouter begins to flare up as he turns towards Raditz. Still feeling in pain, Raditz was beginning to seethe in anger.
Raditz: You... You brat!
Veins begins to pop out of Raditz's head as he begins to undergo a dark change. His armor begins to crack as a black substance was surfacing and enveloping around his arms, growing white talons. His hair begins to turn white as did his entire face and body. He was screaming in pain as bone like features were popping out of his shoulders.
Yamota, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo were beginning to feel shock and fear of what's happening to the change.
Chronoa (Scouter): This... This can't be... He's... He's becoming a Grimm!
Raditz's eyes open, showing a dark red sclera and yellow eyes.
Goku: Go, son! Fast as you can!
Raditz then turns towards Gohan as he grips his fists. He then charges towards Gohan and grabs him by the head. Gohan begins to start screaming in fear and pain as Raditz raises him from the ground.
Goku: GOHAN!!!
Before Raditz can crush Gohan's head, Yamota dashes towards him and kicks him in the stomach, sending back a few feet. Yamota catches Gohan as begins to check his pulses.
Yamota: He's okay... Just unconscious.
He then gently puts him down and turns back towards the Grimmified Raditz.
Yamota: I'll do my best to hold him off.
Goku: *gets up* Hehehe... Not without me. I owe you for saving my son. I guess... this is what you were here for.
Yamota: Yeah, whatever this is.
Goku: Well, *cracks knuckles* Time for Round 3.
Goku then gets into his battle stance as did Yamota, with Raditz now getting up from the ground.
Raditz begins to charge towards the two as both fighters begin to defend themselves from the amount of ravenous claw attacks he was delivering. Goku manages to backflip way from the attack as Yamota jumps and weaves all of Raditz's attack. However, Raditz appears behind Yamota and grabs his arms, pulling them towards his back.
Yamota begins to scream in pain as Goku rushes forward to deliver a kick towards Raditz's head. Raditz then swings Yamota towards Goku, which causes him to accidentally kick Yamota in the back and sent him flying a few feet. Goku then delivers several punches towards Raditz, only to get grabbed and tossed around.
Goku lands on the ground hurt as he struggles to get up, the same goes for Yamota as he wipes the blood from his mouth.
Goku: Dammit! How can we hurt this guy?!
Yamota was about to wonder how to, but then suddenly spots a red gem in Raditz's torso.
Yamota: The red gem. That must be his weak point...
Goku: Oh... swell.
Piccolo: Okay! It's ready! But I need an opening!
Goku: Ggh... I'll try to get him in a full nelson. *looks at Yamota* Give me an opening!
Yamota gets up as he smirks, charging towards Grimm Raditz, making sure to dodge the claw attack this time. Yamota then punches him directly in the skeletal facial structure, delivering several punches and kicks. He then lets out a battle cry as he punches the gem directly, making Raditz stumble backwards.
Yamota: Now!
As Yamota jumps back, Goku manages to grab Raditz in a full nelson, preventing him from moving anywhere.
Goku: Piccolo!!! Hurry!!!
Piccolo: Heh.. Sorry to keep you waiting. Are you ready, Goku?!
Goku: DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Piccolo: Right! MAKANKOSAPPO!!!!!!
Firing the Makankosappo, the attack manages to drill through Raditz's red gem, completely destroying it. The attack also drills through Goku's body, fatally wounding both of them as they fall on the ground dying. Raditz's body begins to return to normal as he begins to cough up blood.
Piccolo: ... Serves you right.
Yamota wipes away the bruises on his cheek as he was about to check on Goku.
Chronoa (Scouter): I don't sense the Grimm surrounding Raditz anymore... Good work. History should start flowing normally again. Come back to the Time Nest.
Yamota: Huh? ... But... what about Goku?... He's dying.
Chronoa (Scouter): It's painful, I know. But don't worry, they'll wish him back with the Dragon Balls.
Yamota: 'Dragon Balls?'
Yamota closes his eyes and lets out a breath. As he turns away, he was called by Piccolo.
Piccolo: Hey!... Was that... thing? That appeared out of this Saiyan... Was it that thing your after?
Yamota turns towards him and nods.
Piccolo: Well, it seems there's nothing left... Then your work is done. I'll take care of the rest, so get out of here.
Yamota: .. Thanks.
Light begins to surround Yamota as he was transported back to the Time Nest. Far away, after seeing the battle, a mysterious figure was spectating the entire match before teleporting away.

Time Nest
Inside the Time Nest Chambers, the light appears as Yamota returns safely. Chronoa begins to walk over towards him.
Chronoa: Nice job. You've managed to subdue the problem and set history on the right course... But I suspect this isn't over.
Yamota: Supreme Kai of Time... whatever came about Raditz, you said that he was corrupted with... Grimm. What are they?
Chronoa: The Grimm are monsters that were created by the Witch of Remnant, Salem. They're only purpose is to drive humanity and faunus to extinction. I don't understand though... How are the Grimm appearing out of Remnant and into history itself? ... *shakes head* Well, there's no need to worry for now. You did good today, and you managed to pass the test. You have what it takes to become a Time Patroller.
Yamota: Heh. Thanks.
Chronoa: You should go get some rest. And I advise you to seek out a teacher tomorrow. You're gonna need to become more stronger as we keep doing this.
Yamota: Got it... *bows* Thank you so much, Supreme Kai of Time.
She nods as Yamota was about to leave the Time Nest, until she sees the scars on his body.
Chronoa: WAIT!!! You can't leave with those scars!
Yamota: Huh? Oh... Hahahaha... Right.
Chronoa: I'll heal your wounds.

After Yamota has left to meet up with his mother, both Trunks and Chronoa were in the chambers, recalling the events on what happened during the battle with Goku, Piccolo, and Raditz.
Trunks: The Grimm, huh? Never thought those things would be causing the timeline to change.
Chronoa: If it's anything like we've faced in the past, it could become worse.
Trunks: Do you think Fu is behind any of this?
Chronoa: I don't think so. Fu has a very distasteful look on the Grimm. We don't have to worry about him for now... Trunks, I need you to go to Remnant and see if you can recruit one of the Huntsmen or Huntress you can find. They have knowledge of the Grimm, and we could need their help.
Trunks: *nods* Got it.
He begins to walk out of the time nest chamber, light was beginning to surround Trunks as he begins to make his way to Remnant.

Remnant: Vacuo
In the midst of the desert of Vacuo, several airships were hovering over the city. It has been a few days after the returns of Team RWBY+J, regaining the hard earned rest for what's coming next. In their rooms, the first to step out was a girl in her red hood.
Leader of Team RWBY
Ruby Rose
Ruby: *yawns*
Before she could walk into the kitchen to grab a coffee, he sees someone else beat him to the punch.
Leader of Team JNPR
Jaune Arc
Jaune: Oh, Ruby. Hey.
Ruby: Hey, Jaune... How're you holding?
Jaune: I'm... doing alright.
He sits down as Ruby walks over and sits next to him.
Jaune: It's just... still surreal. We're back on Remnant, fighting where people need us. For you it was only a couple days, but for me... it felt like years. The Ever After changed all of us.
Ruby: It sure did... Alot has happened. But as long as we never give up on what we're fighting for, I'm sure we can pull through. You all believed in me, now I'm believing in you. We all are.
Jaune: Heh... Thanks.... You know, I never say this alot, but.... I'm glad to have a friend like you.
Ruby: Same here.
The two exchange a fist bump before someone else walks in on them. Ruby turns towards the person as it was her uncle.
Former Member of Team STRQ
Qrow Branwen
Qrow: Am I interrupting something?
Jaune: No, actually. Is something wrong?
Qrow: No. But... we do have a visitor. Ruby, might want to go wake up your team.
Ruby nods as she leaves the kitchen and heads back to her room, waking up all of her teammates and informing them on what Qrow said.
Heir of the Schnee
Weiss Schnee
Weiss: What do think Qrow needs us for, Ruby?
Ruby: I'm not sure. But it sounded like it was serious. Could be a Grimm problem?
The Shadow Faunus
Blake Belladonna
Blake: Ever since the Ever After, I've almost started to miss the Grimm.
Sunny Dragon
Yang Xiao Long
Yang: That's usually my line. Well, I know we just got back, but I would love to get out and seek more adventures.
Team RWBY enters the room where Qrow was in as he turns towards them.
Qrow: Good, you're here. You got a visitor.
Weiss: Is this a Grimm problem?
Qrow: Quite. And from what Mr. Can't Say said, it's worse then what Remnant is going through.
As Qrow leaves, the four girls look over towards the man walking towards them, who happened to be Trunks.
Trunks: I'm sorry to have asked you all here.
Yang: Hey, if it's something that has to do with Grimm, I'm ready to bust some skulls off.
Trunks: Well, you see... it's... complicated.
He begins to share the story of what's happened with the Grimm earlier in the main timeline. Hearing the entire story, this made Team RWBY concerned.
Ruby: Even Grimm... are outside of Remnant?
Trunks: Well, we aren't sure of it. Normally they only reside here on Remnant, but they've been appearing not on Earth, but in core events of history.
Weiss: Wait, wait, wait? History? Earth?
Trunks: The truth is, I'm not from this timeline nor this world. I'm a Time Patroller, and my name is Trunks. I came here to see if I can seek out allies that could help us prevent a multiversal collapse. I've been told by your uncle that you're the best they're are.
Blake: So what your saying is that... you need our help?
Trunks: As obvious as it seems. The Time Patrol hasn't faced any of the Grimm nor have any further knowledge of them. We were wondering if you would like to come with us to help prevent these crisis.
Ruby: ... What about Remnant?
Yang: Yeah, we just came back from the Ever After. I don't know if we can afford to look away from Remnant at this time.
Trunks: I understand. In the end, it's all up to you. But if we let those Grimm run around in the main timeline, everything will be destroyed, including Remnant itself.
Trunks takes out a capsule and tosses it towards Ruby.
Trunks: Once you've made your decision, you can contact the Time Patrol.
All of Team RWBY looks at the capsule. They look back at Trunks, only to see him disappear, nowhere to be seen. Back in their rooms, Ruby had the capsule in her hand while everyone was discussing what to do.
Yang: It's like Remnant isn't the only having it's problems. History? What was that guy even talking about?
Weiss: I still find it hard to believe that person. But the look on his face... he was serious.
Yang: *sigh* And just when we returned, we're suddenly being pulled away from Remnant. What about the people here? For all we know, Salem and Cinder could attack at any time. They all need us here, so why do we have to answer what that guy said?
Blake: Yang... I don't like it either, but... what if all he said was true? Not only will the multiverse be destroyed, but Remnant will meet the same fate too. This could be more then just Remnant... but all of the worlds.
Yang: ... Well, I don't know what to do. Ruby?
Ruby keeps staring at the capsule, seeing it embedded in a logo she's never seen. "Capsule Corp" was the brand on the capsule. The name itself is nowhere to be heard of on Remnant, thus confirming that Trunks is not of this world. She then stands up as she walks towards the window, seeing everyone talking.
Seeing Jaune with his teammates, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Oscar Pine, and Emerald Sustrai. She then turns towards a shrine of her that said "Remember Her Message". Ruby looks back at the capsule and the shrine. Gripping the capsule, she turns towards her team.
Ruby: If we don't do something, Remnant will face certain doom. Not just from Salem, but something else.... We're going to help the Time Patrol.
Yang: .. *smiles* Alright, you win. You're our leader after all... Just don't forget to rely on us, okay?
Ruby nods as she then clicks on the capsule. Nothing happens until a puff of smoke appears in front of her, startling her and the rest of the team. As the small smoke clears, a case was all that's left in Ruby's hand. She opens the case, revealing four Scouters. Each of the Team RWBY looks at each other, smirking and reached a decision on what to do.
Team RWBY has now made their decision, ready to set out on a journey that is beyond Remnant. Find out next time on Dragon Ball Xenoverse Z.

(I know votes are going out to Occult Research Club, but seeing as what the chapter displayed, it would be fair to recruit Team RWBY, seeing that they have more knowledge of the Grimm. Anyways, next chapter will be a prelude to the Saiyan Arc.)
