“No, not quite. When I joined up, all she had was the Time Nest itself outside of the normal flow of time.” you tell her, remembering back. “At first everything was fine, but then trouble started. The branches I'd caused by using my mother's Time Machine kept branching out, and things started changing. We were running ourselves ragged trying to keep up with the ever-expanding pile of new Time Scrolls, keeping their branches straight, and we needed more help.”
“This was when you started recruiting from your own timeline.” she says, you nodding to her.
“Yes. At first we took the remaining people from my timeline's Earth, which I learned was only a few decades away from Zamasu eradicating everyone anyways with no one to protect them, and brought them there. Along with the remains of Capsule Corp, and with their help, we created Toki Toki City from scratch. But then timelines started getting interfered with, and we couldn't find out the source. All the Supreme Kai could tell was that someone was using dark magic to change history. So, she had me gather the Dragon Balls. And make the wish. 'Give me a strong ally. Someone with the kind of power to help me defend time itself.' was the exact wording she insisted I use.”
“Wait. Hold on.” she says, rising to her feet, eyes wide and almost seeming....Scared? “So, what you're telling me is.....?”
“Yes. My par....Ace, isn't actually someone from any of our timelines. He was actually <span class="mu-i">created</span> by Shenron. With the power of the Dragon Balls, Shenron designed the perfect warrior to protect time itself. He...He was amazing, Hyoka. You hadn't joined up yet, but especially in those early years he was extraordinary. Within only a few hours of arriving, he went from around Raditz's powerlevel to actually fighting one-on-one against Beerus and actually landing attacks.”
“Wait, he WHAT?!” she shouts, jaw dropping in shock. But you can only give a sad smile in response, remembering how good and easy things used to be. “How?”
“Ace always got stronger in response to whoever he was fighting.” you tell her. “Sort of like what happened when Goku and Vegeta fought Broly on Earth, but accelerated even greater. Hell, he fought against Perfect Cell alongside Gohan before even learning how to go Super Saiyan himself. Ace was special. He even managed to beat the Demon God Demigra before learning Super Saiyan 3. But then, as we enjoyed our victory, disaster struck. Toki Toki City was destroyed, and we fell.”
