Izzy, I’ll contact brobro and Chi-chi and let them know.” She then looks at Goku, giving him a sad but confident smile. “…Best of luck to you too. You beat one Broly already, right? So I’m sure you can beat another, especially with their help.”
Goku confidently nods, holding out his fist. “For what it’s worth, I’m glad I got to meet ya, Maple. Hope you find your Goku again soon.” The pair bump fists.
“Everyone, gather around, gonna get directions.” Gohan asks. He closes his eyes as you, Izzy, and Goku place your hands on his shoulders and back. When he has a location locked, he declares, “…Kai Kai.”

Goku shivers a bit, but flares out his Ki to keep himself warm. Izzy walks forward through the snow, and after finding what she’s looking for, she holds out some Dreamstone crystals and sets them around in a specific arrangement, creating a Magic Circle again. She transforms into her Mahou state once more, and activates the ritual.
“Hey, what are you mortals doing here?!” a… small, elderly lady in garb similar to Annin’s demands. “This is the Freezing Tundra of Hell, no mortals-!”
“Sorry Lady…” Gohan thinks for a moment, the seems to recall her name, “Enma, right? But we’ve got a small crisis on our hands. Supreme Kai can vouch for us!”
“SUPREME KAI?!” she gasps, stepping back. “What…?!”
“There!” Izzy proclaims, opening up the gate to another world just like before. However, it’s much less stable, flickering slightly at the edges. On the other side, you see… a ruined landscape, with a white square arena with large spikes jutting out the sides of it visible in the distance, chunks of it missing. Crap. “Everyone, inside, now now now!” your cousin orders, hurrying you, Goku, and Gohan through.
Jumping through the bizarre show of lights and sounds, you all arrive in this world that seems and feels oh so familiar… and yet with an immediate difference. You can sense Broly’s power, and someone else’s as well, familiar, yet not. Goku’s eyes narrow as he recognizes it. “Cell.” he says seriously.
Turning your attention to the broken arena, you see the hulking form of Broly grappling with a slightly familiar bugman. Both of their auras flaring up, sparking electricity coming off of them. “How?! You aren’t supposed to be this strong! You aren’t even supposed to be ALIVE!”
“What’s wrong little bug, scared you’ll get SQUASHED?! AHAHAHAHA!” Broly threatens with malicious glee.
Well, they don’t know you’re here.
Yet.
