Title: Time Confused
Saga: Shattered Crystals

DISCLAIMER: I do not own DBZ yada yada, I do own Sam, Thals, and the 0's. This was a dream I do so some of the parts may be strange. Take the ages they are in the Buu saga, except Trunks, Sam, and Thals, Trunks should be about 22, Sam 21, and Thals around 21. Due to the fact that this has Trunks and Trunks in it, if Future Trunks is not with Thals or both of them are in the room I'll put Trunks name like Trunks (f). If it's Goten and Trunks assume regular time line, unless I say otherwise. Ignore events such as Bra, there are out of the time line.

FYI: Thals is a Saiyan, I'm not going to get into the whole story. The only really important thing for this is both he and Sam have never reached Super Saiyan. If you read Dreams Undone you will remember Sam is 1/2 Saiyan, and the daughter of Wolverine. Thals' Arrival will be up at a later date.

Sam watched at Bulma rushed off to the bathroom. Vegeta stayed on the couch. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Sam looked at Vegeta, who had not moved. She then got up to get it, and Vegeta went to check on Bulma. Sam remembered that Bulma had told her that she had gotten sick almost every day when she had been pregnant with Trunks. Now, Sam was beginning to wonder if Bulma was pregnant again.

Sam reached the door and opened it, to reveal the Son family. Trunks had spent the night with Goten. And Bulma had invited them over for a diner to celebrate something or other. What Sam did not know, she missed what ever it was. Goku looked at her confused, she had never meant the Son family. Trunks finally pushed to the front and looked at her.

"Where's my mom and dad?" he said confused.

"Bulma's in the bathroom." Sam answered.

"What about my dad?" the boy asked as the group walked into the living room.

"He want to check on her." Sam answered.

Trunks looked frustrated, then he and Goten went to look at something in Trunks' room.

"So how long have you know the Briefs?" Gohan asked after he sat down. ChiChi and Goku also looked at her.

"A while," Sam answered, "It's a complicated story."

"Well, we have time." Gohan said.

Vegeta then walked into the room, a frustrated look on his face.

"You're female, try and get her out of the bathroom." Vegeta said to Sam.

"What happened?" She asked him.

"That onna got sick, and locked the bathroom door. Now she's refusing to come out."

It was then that Vegeta noticed the Sons. He glanced at them once, the looked back at Sam. She sighed and set off in the direction of the bathroom.

When she had left Trunks and Thals she had told then she would try to find a way back to their own time covertly. In other words, she planned on keeping her chi as low as possible and not let anyone know about her past. When she had told Bulma she would need her help and could explain everything later, Bulma had accepted that. Bulma let her stay at her house, Sam just had no idea where Trunks and Thals were.

Sam reached the bathroom and knocked. She got no response so she tried the door. Bulma was in there, Samantha could sense her chi. She knocked again, the pushed her had against the door. Using her physic mutant abilities she opened the lock, and pushed the door open.

Sam stuck her head in the room and saw Bulma on the floor, unconscious. She quickly moved over to her and saw a cut on her forehead. The only problem was, nothing in the bathroom could have cut her head. Sam walked around the room trying to find out what had made the cut.

Sam suddenly sensed chi behind her back. She glanced at the door, wishing Trunks or someone was with her. Almost 2 seconds went by, then one of the chi's moved to Bulma. Sam automatically started back to Bulma's side, and froze when she saw what the creatures was.

Almost a year ago in her time line she, Trunks, and Thals had fought creature that hated Saiyans. These creatures, the 0 as they where called, hated anyone that had anything to do with Saiyans. Apparently, a group of Saiyans led by a Saiyan named Bardock had destroyed the 0's home world. The 0 had survived by abandoning their planet and going into space. Many of their people had still died protecting their ships as they had taken off. Then the 0 had began to track down the race that had destroyed their world. They had found Planet Vegeta destroyed, and began to track down the remaining Saiyans. The only Saiyans alive, that anyone knew about, where on earth. The 0 arrived about a year after Thals. They started off by attacking Bulma, forcing Trunks to save his mom and kill all of the 0 in the area. Sam and Thals saved ChiChi and her fathers life. After many close calls, all of them saved by Trunks' Super Saiyan form, the group had been able to get rid of all of the 0. Sam still had not been able to get over the threshold and go Super Saiyan.

Now Sam knew the 0 would kill Bulma if given a chance. She forced herself not to power up and kicked the 0 away from Bulma. Several more took it's place. Sam moved them out of the way, sending one of them out into hall, just as Goku and Vegeta where about to walk by. Both Saiyans stopped and Vegeta immediately ran into the bathroom. Sam finally powered up and pushed her way to Bulma. Vegeta saw Sam pick up his mate, and attempted to help her get out of the room.

ChiChi ran to Goku followed by Gohan, who was attempting to keep the 0 back from his mother. Trunks and Goten also came from Trunks' room when they sensed Sam power up. Vegeta looked at his wife and the others then at the 0.

"What are they?" He asked.

The 0 rushed the group and Sam fired a blast at them, barley keeping them back. Vegeta took Bulma in his arms.

"Can they fly?" Gohan asked.

Sam decided to answer Gohan. "They can't fly. And what they are is trouble."

Everyone looked at her.

"How did you know that? And just who are you?" Vegeta demanded.

"I'll explain later. Right now we need to get into the air."

The group looked at her for a second longer.

"Let's go to Kami's." Goku said.

The group moved to a window and Goku picked up ChiChi. They all took off, and began to head in that direction.

They had been flying for about ten minutes, when Sam sensed an energy coming up behind them. The other seemed to notice a little, but they where distracted by Krillin, Android 18, their daughter, Tien, Choazu, Yamcha and everyone they where close to, was waiting for them. All of the Z-Fighters where holding their friends that could not fly. When they where within shouting range, a gold blur flew past Sam and came to a stop. Trunks looked past the aura of his Super Saiyan form and watched as Thals followed him. The Z-Fighters , as a group, started at Trunks (f), Sam meanwhile looked at Thals. Trunks looked fine to her, Thals was holding one of his arms like it was broken, and various cuts all over his body where bleeding. His tail also appeared to be broken or partially cut.

"What happened to you?" Sam asked them.

"The 0 still don't like us." Trunks said.

"They really don't like me." Thals said.

Sam moved to help Thals, Trunks watched her then looked at his younger counter part. The other Trunks looked at him then at his dad, who was still holding his unconscious mom.

"Do you remember when we used to talk about the boy from the future?" Gohan asked Trunks.

The boy nodded.

"That's him."

"Trunks, what are you doing here?" Piccolo asked him (f).

He was about to answer when a chi blast went right threw the group, next the Thals. The blast came from on the earth below them.

"What did you do to them?" Sam asked Thals.

"I thought you said they couldn't fly?" Gohan said.

"They can't." Trunks (f) answered.

"Then what are they doing?"

"In coming!" Sam screamed as the 0, who had learned to fly, surrounded them.

Suddenly the 0 focused on Sam, and launched an attack on her only. She kept her guard up, and fought like she had been taught. One of them got on her back and was knocked off by Trunks, who did not like thing attacking his mate. That started making the 0 attack the group. Bulma was passed to Tien and all of the fighters holding someone took their charges to Dende's. ChiChi was taken there by Goku who would use Instant Transmission to get back to the fight.

Sam was holding her own and tried to get back to Thals' side, the same thing Trunks was trying to do. Sam looked back at Trunks and realized one of the 0 was planning on attacking him. She tried to yell out a warning, but before she could it hit him in the same place Gohan had, when Gohan had knocked him out before Gohan was killed by the Androids.

Trunks (f) was knocked out and began to fall. Sam brushed the point of Super Saiyan and dove down to catch him, never realizing it. She curved her body to avoid hitting the earth after catching him. She flew back up to the battle and was meant on the outskirts by Thals.

"Get both of them to Dende's." Gohan shouted to Sam

She did what she was told, and carrying Trunks, began to fly to Kami's. Several of the 0 tried to fallow her, but where stopped by Goku.
