Suddenly, a large purple beam of energy broke through the clouds and scorched the ground between the Z fighters...then everything went white for them.<br/><br/>Superman jerked awake, strapped down to a table in a space ship with some sort of tube shoved into his mouth and down his esophagus. He tore it out and coughed up blood.<br/><br/>"Specimens active! Sending units to subdue!" A voice filled the heads of the stirring fighters, Superman grabbed two of the robots and smashed their heads together.<br/><br/>Superman tore the wires from his forehead and used his heat vision to destroy the other robots. They appeared to be in the confines of some sort of space ship.<br/><br/>Upon venturing further they would find a large chamber filled with glowing spheres that depicted various species of various planets.<br/><br/>"He's...recording civilizations and worlds as data..from across the universe." Superman said breathlessly.<br/><br/>"Correct." A voice said from the center of the room, a large green skinned alien with an inverted triangle of purple diodes on his head stood there. He wore purple and black armor and was quite tall.<br/><br/>The figure's eyes were dark pits in his skull, with red glowing circles...he was partially robotic. He scanned Superman, then Vegeta and Goku, and then Piccolo.<br/><br/>"A Kryptonian, two Saiyans, and a Namekian....none of you should exist outside my control....the others my drones brought me...were Saiyans and humans too. They have been stored and added to my collection."<br/><br/>"What have you done to these worlds? Why are you collecting data on them!?" Superman demanded.<br/><br/>"Once the all necessary data has been collected from worlds I deem worthy, that world is destroyed. I collect knowledge and certain high-class inhabitants for further study and experimentation." Brainiac said.<br/><br/>"The more rare the knowledge I collect is, then the more precious it becomes." He looked over Piccolo and the two Saiyans. "I did not destroy any of your worlds during my travels...because I forsaw that they each would meet their end in due time. All of you..exist...because I allow you to be."
