By the time Piccolo had finished saying where the portal was, Goku had already begun to rush off there, flying quite fast, much to the dismay of Chi Chi. He arrived at in front of Raditz's house, turned around, and saw the portal, as well as Tekka. Tekka smirked.
"Ah, Son Goku. Even though we are from different timelines, I know who you are, in fact, I even trained under a different version of you for a period of time-" Tekka began to say, but he hadn't finished speaking before...
"Okay, I get it. Now how do I get to this tournament?" Goku interrupted.
"Just go through that rift there. Bulma or Goten should explain the rest for you." Tekka said, quite annoyed. Goku dashed into the rift, Tekka sighing. "Some things never change, no matter what timeline." He muttered quietly.
--------------------------------
As soon as Goten flew away from 17 and 18, leaving them to go find Bulma or more team members, he spotted another rift, with people coming out. He began to fly over, only to see... Himself there? As well as Trunks, and a girl he had never seen before. He slowly flew over.

After coming out of the strange portal that they had gone through, Goten, Trunks, and Ranch all began to look around, before Trunks saw what appeared to be Goten slowly coming over to them. He looked puzzled, but remembered what the weird alternate kid said before, about the different timelines.
"hey!" The kid said. "Who are you? I'm Goten, by the way, are you here to compete in the timespace tournament?" This Goten asked.
"Huh? I'm Trunks!" Replied Trunks, the different Goten looking quite surprised.
"And I'm Goten, so you can't be Goten!" Goten said.
"Ugh, Timelines are confusing." The different Goten grunted.
"Figured." Said Ranch.
"And who's this?" The different Goten asked.
"I'm Ranch."
"Okay, nice to meet you guys." The different Goten said before explaining about the tournament briefly, and telling them to go find Bulma, and then flying off as Goku arrived and Ranch had to explain it to him, much to his dismay.
