Chapter 1

(In the Mirai timeline)



"Kaasan, I don't want to leave you." It was clear that he was worried about her; as she had and would worry about him.

"Now, Trunks, don't give me that. Oh," Mirai Bulma reached into her pocket, "give Goku this."

He took the bottle of pills and looked at it. "The antidote for the virus? Isn't that a little extreme?"

"No, Goku can change history. And some history needs changed." Her voice was firm. All of the suffering that had happened due to the jinzouningen should've never happened.

Soon, a bright blue light appeared in the sky, accompanied by a small bright white one. Two amazons landed next to Mirai Bulma. Mirai Anemone and her daughter, Jynx. "Trunks, go. We can hold them off while you're away. And don't worry! We'll still be here when you get back!" He knew that she spoke true. If worse came to worse, she would go oozaru on them. That was scary enough as it was.

Each one hugged him before he got into the time machine. He activated it, then disappeared into the time stream.

(Present timeline)

Anemone froze in shock. No. Frieza! He's still alive! I was afraid of this! She reached out with her ki sense. Krillin's on his way. Gohan too. So, the Terror Tutor is gone, I take it. The amazon took of in a flash of bright blue, easily finding them. She soared over the ocean, catching up with them in no time.

Then she heard Krillin's statement. "I'm sure it's him. I could never forget that stench."

"Krillin, you don't have a nose. How could you have smelt him?" she inquired. There was an impish quality in her voice at what she had said. Teasing at a time like this releaved tensions.

"Anemone, you sensed his power too?"

"Hai, Gohan. It's horrible."

They flew faster, with the small warrior grumbling all the way. Soon, those they were looking for loomed in the distance. "Look! Everyone's here!" Gohan cried. In deed, there the stood, on the light brown ground of the badlands in the desert.

"Safe to say we came to the right place." Krillin replied as they landed.

"Hey, you made it!" Bulma cried.

Yamcha turned about sharply. "Any word from Goku?"

The boy shook his head, causing visible deflation in Bulma and Pu'ar. "Just thought I'd ask." he muttered.

"That's enough! He's here!" Piccolo cried. A chill went through the group as the dark powers were felt.

Anemone shuddered, suppressing a cry of terror. Everything was on the line this time. His power is enormous. And so is Cold's. Whoa, how did I know his name? Then, another power made itself known. Who is that? His power dwarfs theirs. But... who is he? As dark as the ice-jin were, he was light.

The warriors took off sharply, flying for the area the ship had landed in. Their gaze fell on the scorched landscape below, causing Bulma to wonder what had happened. A large light began to descend to the planet. There was enough power in that one attack to destroy Chikyuu instantly.

"Everyone, get down!!" Krillin cried.

A sharp wind blew over the group, threatening to blow the lighter members, or those who didn't know how to use their ki, away. Once it died away, they got a clear view of what was happening. The unknown warrior easily defeated Frieza then blew away Cold. He powered down, then noticed the Z senshi hovering in the air nearby.

What should I do now? They've seen me. He made up his mind quickly. "I'm going to a place nearby to meet Goku. Do you want to come?" Real smooth. They may not trust you, especially after that.

That's weird. How does he know my tousan?" Gohan muttered.

"I don't trust him, guys." Yamcha declared.

"You don't trust me either. I say go." Bulma commented.

"Definatly. I have to find out who he is." Vegeta agreed. They flew off quickly, following the mysterious youth.

"You're all nuts!" Krillin cried as he caught up. Anemone laughed at him.

"Nuts we may be, but we are curious nuts!"
