What lies before you is a familiar scene in the age of 762. A long Saiyan standing in front of a cold-hearted tyrant. Enraged by the slaughtering of his friends, has turned into legend spread throughout the galaxy and time…the legendary Super-Saiyan…but…the ending isn't the same. This warrior doesn't succeed like he did the first time…no…instead this tyrant managed to stay alive long enough for planet Namek to explode, leaving the tyrant unopposed and ready to conquer and torture more lives in his quest to become emperor of all the universe….
…History has been altered…..
"Another change in history…" Mutters a small girl with pale, red hair to her neck and black eyes to match. An older gentlemen walks up from behind her, overlooking the scroll in her hands that seems to be replaying the scene over and over again. He furrows his white, thick eyebrows in frustration.
"Again? These changes are occurring more than they ever have before! At this rate there might not be any history left to protect." The girl lay's the scroll on the table before turning the elder man; a serious expression covers her face.
"We can't not allow this to keep going. We're going to need a special team; one that we know can take care of the bigger alterations in time."
"But what about-"The elder was cut off when he heard footsteps coming down towards the both of them.
"Reporting back. Another change in history restored ma'am." The girl turned towards the voice. A smile managing to crack her frown she carried as she saw both the male and a female stand beside her and bow in her direction.
"Good work Trunks and Hocu. That's one less to worry about." She expressed to the both of them. Hocu looked at her with a slight worry in her eyes that were of Majin kind, red pupils with black iris surrounding it.
"Hocu can see…what everybody is doing isn't enough…Hocu believes that Towa and her android are still out there, creating these distortions still." She remarked using third-person as some many of her kind do. The boy next to her nodded his head.
"My partner is right. We need another team that could possibly help us track her down, maybe even stop her. We simply can't do this alone…there's too many places she could hide. Too many timelines she could destroy." At this the girl held out her hand, silencing all talk. A single sigh escaped her lips.
"You're right. You're all right." She placed the scroll on the table and pulled out a list and handed it to the boy. "Trunks find these people…they are the only ones who could possibly stand any chance against Towa and her creation."
Both Trunks and Hocu looked at the names…though…both had completely different reactions to the names on the list. Trunks feel a wash of memories flood through him, his eyes completely hardened as he saw one name on the list. Pocu on the other hand…her eyes lit up in a proud, motherly fashion, seeing a name stick out from the rest. Trunks looked up at the girl in doubt.
"Supreme Kai of Time are you su-"
"Trunks. I know you don't trust any on the list but at this point…we have to take the chance. We need them. Please Trunks…" The Kai pleaded with him, wanting him to move passed his grudge just this once. Trunks moved his head down, lavender bangs covering his face as he thought about it. Hocu put a hand on his shoulder, the moment she made contact his shoulders however, he scrunched up and stiffened for a split second…then slumped down in a relaxed position.
"I'm fine Hocu." He reassured at her before looking at the Kai. "I will find them ma'am. I'll do whatever it takes to convince them to join and form a team." He bowed at her before pacing up the stairs and out of the chamber. Hocu soon followed after him, her excitement getting to her. The Supreme Kai of Time watched them as they left, emotions mixed and swirled around her head. She glanced at the elder next to her.
"Do you think this will be enough Elder Kai? I know some are still in training but…" She trailed off as the Elder Kai shook his head.
"Well we won't know a thing until we've seen them and their performance during a mission. No use worrying now girl!" He retorted. His hands behind his back, turning back to the scroll on table.
"For now just hope Trunks won't have any trouble getting them on board…"
~In another area in the eyes of an unknown pov~
"Show me all this training isn't a waste of time pupil! You have to defeat all my children!" I overheard my mentor shout at me. I took his words to heart and cuffed my hands vertically, feeling the energy form in my hands as the words came out.
"Ka….me….ha…me…"
The children rushed toward me, their arms out stretched ready to attack me. I hear them taunting me. "Kekeke you're weak sis!" "Try and hit me!" none of this wavered me in any way as I moved my hands to my hips, feeling the energy hitting its limit.
"Haaaaaaaaaaa!"
I pushed my hands back to the front and fired the energy in their directions. It didn't take them long before they scattered away from the blast in a panicked attempt to live. I frowned, feeling a strange sensation, resulting in me directing the blast away from all the little guys and right into the trees and rocks, creating a hole in the process…not that this place didn't have holes already…Gohan made sure of that with his father-son Kamehameha. I just starred at the smoke that surrounded the hole, not looking at my mentor as he flew over to me.
"I see you failed to hit a single one of them Kinoko. Have you grown attached to my children?" I heard my mentor say, tone mixed with mocking and perhaps irritation at my actions. Cell never could understand certain that I seem to do…and honestly neither do I but I never tell him that. Instead I crossed my arms, keeping the frown on my face.
"No…just…more training. That's all I need. I haven't reached the height of perfection you tell me so much about…" At that he chuckled and walked closer, placing a hand on my slightly messy shoulder length, dirty blond hair. Patting it like you would with a child to calm them down.
"Heh, heh good to see you're still dedicated to that goal….but… I don't think you're going to reach it if you keep missing on purpose pupil." My eyes widened with shock as he took his hand off my head, satisfied with my reaction. I turned to look at him, ready to ask how he knew that I did that but we both turned to the sky as a sense of Ki came rushing towards us and soon landed right in front of us. He seemed to be gripping something in his hand and glared at both of us. I smirked as I looked at him closely.
"Lavender hair that barely reaches your ears, blues eyes. The only thing that seemed to change is your outfit Trunks." He seemed to be wearing a greyish overcoat with red-brown fur around the neck and greyish belt that wrapped around the waist. A green turtleneck with lines going down around it. Bright brown gloves and shoes. Above the shoes seemed to be wraps, slightly olive in color and stop just near the thighs. Above that looked like faded out yellow, silk pants. He seemed to be carrying a sword that strapped around his chest. The grip is vibrant purple while the pommel and the guard is a more golden yellow.
"Still the same Trunks I know…and the same one who got himself killed…twice." I mocked. Trunks gritted his teeth. Upset with my response but the only made it all the more fun to me.
"I remember hearing you died too Kinoko. As well as your mentor. That would make us more than even I'd say." At that I growled and Cell lost his smirk as we both remembered our time down in hell….it was….well hell. I was tortured by all the things I tried to get away from…everything I hated. Cell told me he was surrounded by the very imperfection he had gotten past with his perfect form. We had no choice but to witness it over and over again down there. I glared daggers at Trunks as Cell spoke up.
"What game are you trying to play at Trunks? Is this your only reason for being here? To ridicule us?" He asked, his patience running thin. Trunks straightened up and pointed at me, getting straight to his point.
"The Supreme Kai of Time requests your presences at once. For a very important mission." He stated in a dull, strictly -business tone. It only took a minute before I had my words picked out.
"No way in hell." His expression didn't change, meaning he was expecting my answer.
"So you're willing to miss the chance to prove yourself Kinoko? Showing everyone just how much strength you've gained now then you did all those years ago…though...I guess the enemies would be too strong for you to do so." My lips almost tugged into a smile at the thought of taking on said 'strong enemies' if I can defeat them…I can prove my strength! I can prove that I'm not a weakling that everyone keeps seeing in me! I took a step forward... feeling compelled to join him…only to stop to the feeling of little arms wrap around different parts of my arms, legs and head, all either tugging at me or just clung really hard to me.
"No sis! Don't leave!"
"Stay here! Stay here!"
"No fun without sissy around!"
I could my heart tightening like a coil wrapped around it and squeezed. I closed my eyes and opened them, turning to Cell who seemed bewildered by the scene in front of him. He soon saw me looking at him and reverted back to his usually smug look, deciding to through in his opinion into the mix.
"I see that this mission excites you. If I let you leave with him….I'd like to see this mission make you stronger. I want that to happen. So you have my approval to rake my pupil. I'll wait for you to return." He said. I could feel his tone shift but to what I couldn't place. I can't always figure him out sometimes. Neither could the Cell Jr's as they looked at him in confusion but Cell only shook his head and pulled them off of me…despite the protest he received from them.
Soon after I walked up to Trunks and display a neutral expression as I bowed slightly in his direction.
"Consider this an acceptance. I shall meet this 'Kai of Time' and take care of this important mission you have." I added an icy tone towards him just to let him know I still don't care for him or his friends. Trunks must of either not cared or ignored it as he accepted my answer and beckoned me to follow him. He blasted off and I quickly followed behind him, taking one last glance at the destroyed Cell Games arena, seeing Cell and the Cell Jr's before I could just barely recognize them. I growled at myself and turned back, putting all my energy into my flying. I had to focus on what was ahead...for my own sake…
~ A few hours of traveling later~
"Conton City is just few miles away. That's where the Supreme Kai of Time is and where you'll get your mission." Trunks said suddenly, stopping in midair. This caused me to do the same. He turned to look at me as my face held bafflement in its features. He just pointed behind him.
"Just look for the dragon of the Dragon Balls. It shouldn't be too hard to miss when you're flying…" He trailed. "…though you'll have to walk as soon as you reach the city. Only people with a flying license can fly within the city limits." I scoffed at that.
"A flying license? Is that some kind of joke? Why should we be restricted when it comes to flying?" I asked, feeling more than willing to break this rule. Trunks flew towards me with a bit of a glare.
"To protect everyone in Conton City! We cannot allow dangerous people like you to possibly hurt or injured anyone because of reckless flying!" He shouted. "I don't expect you to understand but I do expect you to obey it while you're in the City." He toned his shouting down with that last part and refused to move out of my way unless I agreed. I sighed and threw my hands up.
"For the sake of getting this over with fine! I'll do it!" I then pointed at him. "But don't think for a second that I will obey ever order you bark out Trunks. I'm only playing along for now." I growled out. He seemed a bit taken back by my attitude and muttered something under his breath that I couldn't understand but he seemed satisfied and flew off to who-knows-where. I didn't bother to look, I had no interest to. Instead I shifted my focus onto the city that is close to me according to Trunks. I decided to fly at a decent pace and looked in all directions, trying to find anything that resembled a city or a dragon as Trunks had stated.
For a while I couldn't spot anything. I just found more clouds than I ever wanted to see in my lifetime. Then I noticed something that looked like scales, curious, I went in for a closer look only to find the scales belonged to a very long statue of the very Dragon of the Dragon balls of Earth. I felt some relief flooded over me as I followed the dragon all the way to what I could only assume is Conton city. I slowly descended down to ground, seeing various races walking or flying in the main part of the city which looked like a market place filled with capsule houses with robots that people are using to sell and buy items. The very middle of the market held a circular place that had steps on each side and in between had blue, clear water that wouldn't goes much past the ankles.
What really caught my eye is the hologram in the very center of it. It showed a woman of the Majin race with skin as white as snow. Hair that curled down to her shoulders. Big eyes that had glowing red pupils and black iris, making her seem like a demon. Her outfit seemed a bit baffling. Pure black top with a scarf around her neck to match. Silk pants with a black and yellow belt. The very middle had an 'm' in fancy handwriting. Golden bracelets that almost went to her elbow. Shoes that seemed in a style similar to Trunks when he first came from the future just in black and had golden tips on the front. Below her had the words "Toki-Toki City Hero" I must have been starring at it for some time as a voice started speaking next to me.
"That's the hero who saved history and this city from compete destruction. Not bad for someone who was wished here." The voice, that sounded more female in nature, explained. I turned to look at them but I didn't see anybody. I looked all around me but the people here seemed to be in their own world, ignoring me entirely. I placed a hand on my head, feeling a headache coming along.
"I…I must be hearing things. This stupid city's already getting to me." I whispered to myself. I shook or tried to shake off what just happened and went to the right of me that seemed to be a long staircase that went up and to the right to some place. Must be where a god hangs out right? I decided to risk it and began my climb up….wondering just why trunks would just leave me all of the sudden in this city without guidance of some kind…
What else does Trunks and this Kai have up their sleeve exactly? And why would they want me?
