"EPIC YELLING OF ATTACK NAMES WHEN NECCISSARY!"

~~~Story~~~

After the never ending white left her vision she slowly opens her coal black eyes. Her tail swishes around in nervousness as she quickly takes in her surroundings. Simple looking stone walls with what appears to be bamboo gardens. Ornate buildings that resemble the rumors of what the land of the Kai's looks like. As she turns around she notices a small stream with a few simple bridges crossing it, beyond one of them is four large screens with a propeller beneath them showing different logistics and numbers of what might be a military unit. Just to the left of that, large strange looking gears circle around what looks to be an alter. Seven glowing balls are in that alter and a giant dragon floats above that...

"Wait...what?" she thinks to herself. She twitches in shock as her brain finally catches up to what is before her. A giant...fucking...dragon... "Where the hell am I?"

"FAREWELL," the dragon rumbles out simply before disappearing right before her eyes. The seven glowing balls slowly rise out of the alter and then explode away from each other, flying off in different directions. She continues to stare in slight shock before she hears a low noise moving towards. Spinning her head towards the noise she sees a lavender haired young man walking towards her. Wearing a long coat with brownish fur around the neck and a sword strapped to his back he looks as though he means business. She drops into a defensive stance as he stops a few yards away from her with a small smirk on his features.

"You're surprised, I'm sure," he finishes lamely. She just continues to stare at him, her eyes squinting slightly in concentration. He bows his head slightly, ""I'll have to explain it all to you later...but for now...let's see how much power you have!" he finishes, drawing his sword with a roar and charging towards her. He quickly swipes his sword at her a few times, forcing her to jump back and away. He once again races towards her and brings the sword down on her head. She catches the blade between her two hands, grunting under the strain this man was putting into the blade. She growls loudly as her aura flares out before pulling on the blade. This seems to catch the lavenderette off guard. A loud 'ouf' leaves his mouth as her foot finds his solar plexus, shoving him away from her. He implants his feet into the ground creating two small trenches with his boots. He smirks and puts away his sword before dropping into a stance.

"Yeah! Come at me anytime!" he yells to her. She needs no other invitation as she explodes away from her spot leaving behind a small dust cloud. She throws a punch at his face that the boy blocks easily. He smirks and quickly raises his knee, blocking a quick kick. She smirks back and winks at him, causing the boy to blush a little, just before her foot rocks the bridge of his nose making him stumble back. He throws a quick glare at her and easily blocks the next flurry of kicks and punches. As she winds up for another haymaker the youth before her roars, the sheer pressure of his ki blowing her back. With a few cheeky flips she lands on her feet, glaring at him.

"Looks like the little warm up is complete. Now isn't it about time you showed me your full power," he finishes with a smirk. Kolra twitches lightly before sighing. With a loud roar her aura springs forth, the pale white making her glow even in the noon time sun. She then holds a single hand above her head as a large white ki ball with wisps of blue forms over her head. Trunks moves into a defensive stance, thinking this ball would be like Yamcha's Spirit ball, or maybe even his father's Big Bang. Kolra doesn't say a word as she brings her palm down to point at Trunks.

"RRRRAH!" she yells before the ball seems to blow itself up and a large beam of bluish white engulfs the area. Trunks' eyes widen in surprise even as his hair stands on end and a golden aura forms around him. He quickly forms one hand into a fist and then grabs said fist with the other and much like a sledge hammer punch he knocks the beam into the sky, just barely missing one of the large gears that circle the alter behind him. As the light fades Kolra could once again see her opponent. His straight lavender locks where now standing up in spikes making him look very much like a Saiyan. The golden aura however was something she had never seen before. She tilts her head, her coal black eyes staring the boy down. Trunks stares for a moment longer before grabbing the hilt of his sword. He races forward again and Kolra let's off a squeak of surprise as she ducks under the first swipe. She then quickly has to lift a leg to avoid a follow up before jumping and landing on his back with her own before rolling off him. She wasn't fast enough however as the broad side of his blade comes around quickly and smacks her straight across both cheeks of her ass. She yelps and jumps away from the boy rubbing at her ass. With a growl she launches a small ball of ki at his face but the boy just catches it in his hand and crushes it into nothing.

"Awesome," he finally says dropping his sword arm to the side before throwing the blade into the air and walking forward; "You were chosen. Chosen...by Shenron," he says with a smile, stopping just feet from her and leaning slightly to his left as the sword comes down blade first and slides into the sheath.

"Was that really necessary?" she finally utters. A blush colors the boy's cheeks as he seems to think about it for a long moment.

"Umm...maybe...eh nevermind..." he shakes his head as the blush disappears from his face, "Sorry for attacking you by the way," he finishes lamely. She stares for a moment longer before sighing and standing up out of her stance.

"Whatever," she whispers, rubbing her eyes in annoyance. Trunks stares at her for a moment and then once again shakes his head slightly to get his thought patterns back under control.

"Right...anyway, I'll introduce myself. I'm Trunks Briefs...and I'm currently on a mission."

"Uh-huh...I'm Kolra...where the hell am I?"

"Uh...that's kinda hard to explain really. This is a world outside the world you're familiar with. This is the Toki Toki world, where all the flow of time gathers. In this world, special warriors gather to protect time from shattering. And these warriors, myself included, call ourselves the Time Patrol," he finishes proudly. Kolra glances around at that moment and sees a few different creatures walking around. A few were staring at the two after their fight, but everyone was mostly focusing on their job, "When history goes off course, a false time line is created. At least kind of. Its strange really because there are multiple universes at work here so what might be false in our time is right in theirs," he finishes.

"Wait...I'm confused...what's the real time line and whats not? What are we actually defending?" she questions.

"I can't honestly answer that. Each patroller here comes from a different time line with different rules. They are the ones that defend that time line. We barely ever work with an opposite time line patroller simply because what we are used to defending against might need to happen in their time line," Trunks finally just shakes his head, "Don't worry about it too much, just know that creatures that know more about the physics of time hand out the missions."

"Fine...so why am I here?"

"I asked the eternal dragon for a partner with the power to help me fight in this time line. Because of my past actions I can't do a lot of the fighting that needs to be done to protect the time line fully. So that's why you're here. What was the age where your from?" Trunks asks softly. Kolra stares at him for a long moment before sighing heavily again.

"Age 737..."

"Wh-what? No that can't be right...the ages we're gonna be fighting in you would still be alive. If anything I figured you would be pulled from the future!"

"I...guess I should be dead," she whispers looking down now. Trunks' face drops at this. He slowly moves forward standing in front of her but still a little ways away to give her her space, "I was with my squad, clearing a planet for Lord Freeza. We had just finished...and were getting ready to head back to Vegeta when we were ambushed by one of Freeza's elites. Ginyu...he...she...IT...it killed my entire team...I thought I was next when I appeared here...fully healed and in new clothes."

"Th...That's crazy. I mean...I'm sorry for your team," he whispers setting a hand on her shoulder. Kolra just glares at the ground for showing weakness in front of this stranger. She hated herself currently, but she supposed it was alright to be weak in this one instance. She wipes quickly at her eyes before shrugging off his hand.

"So...are you offering me a job here? I don't really have anything to go back to...if Freeza really was serious about wiping out the entire Saiyan race...I'm sure the planet is gone by now..."

"Yeah...yeah I am. Before I give you the tour is there anything else you want to know?" he questions, putting the fact that she was a planet killer behind him. His father was too...and he changed for the better...well for the most part.

"Mmm...your whole speech about time still confuses me. We are suppose to fix these glitches in time right?" she asks, with Trunks nodding his head, "but then wouldn't the glitches themselves just be alternate time lines forming for alternate universes?" At hearing this, Trunks' eyes widen, "And if that's true, then why have the time patrol at all?"

"I umm...I really don't know and really don't focus on it. I just do the missions that I need to do really."

"So you're saying just shut up and accept it?" she asks lowly.

"Yah..." he replies. She stares at him for a long moment and then sighs softly.

"Fine."

~~~Unknown location~~~

A creature slowly looks down at his console. The information scrolling past its eyes was strange. It tilts what could be considered it's head and taps a few buttons. Before the creature a video opens, showing an age in the past, present, and future all at once. The creature watches as the being known as Raditz gets away from his brother, letting the hero of this time line die. While said hero is suppose to die here at this moment, Raditz was as well. The Saiyan then launches an attack at another hero of this age, killing him as well while he tries to regain his strength after launching his most powerful attack. The being once again tilts its head and presses a few more buttons. Deep in the Time Vault outside its plane of existence the Scroll of Eternity for time line 3074-A alights with the warning flame which will alert that Patroller, letting him know its time for an intervention to correct his time line. After doing its duty, the creature moves on in it's viewing of the cosmos, finding another glitch. Pressing the button once again another Eternity Scroll alights for 118-C, how dare that stupid little pig Oolong wish for panties when the future Great Emperor Pilaf was preparing to make the wish for his coronation as the Emperor of Earth...

~~~Toki Toki City~~~

Trunks was just finishing up showing his new partner the industrial area of Toki Toki where she could buy food and clothes when a small watch beeps on his wrist. He glances down to it before bringing it up near his face and tapping a button on the side. A holographic screen pops open before him, on the display he quickly reads about the next mission. Kolra glances back to him as she shoves another rice ball into her mouth showing that she was indeed a Saiyan.

"We've got a mission...think your ready for your first intervention?" he asks her. The beauty before him swallows her mouth full and gives him a smile and thumbs up. Trunks tilts his head a little and then smiles back, "She seems to be getting over her sadness about her team getting destroyed..." he thinks to himself. In reality she wasn't in the least bit over it, but as a Saiyan the thought of fighting just made her body tingle in all the right ways. Trunks floats up into the air with her quickly following and the two blast away from the stores heading to the area she first appeared in. Landing before a large gate Trunks pushes it open and leads her inside. Her eyes widen as the large dome appears before her. There was a stone path leading through the large grassy area that split in two different directions. One leading to a large ornate building with a giant tree growing out the top of it.

"We call this the "Time Nest". The Supreme Kai of Time lives here and manages things," he finishes pointing towards a small dome that looks like a nice little house.

"What does she manage if something else gives us our missions?" Kolra asks.

"Mainly she manages us in the Time Patrol offering advice here and there for us with her extensive knowledge gathered over 75 million years. She also works on different technologies that we can use for our interventions," he says simply.

"75 million huh?" Kolra says blankly before staring at the small house, "And a techie eh? I guess that explains all the trash in her yard," she finishes. Trunks blanches and glances around with a sweat drop on his head. He could already see Kolra and Chronoa butting heads.

"Uh yeah...anyway over here is the "Time Vault" which is filled with many important texts. That's where our final destination is," he finishes leading her into the ornate building at the end of the path. Once inside Kolra stares up at the roots of the huge tree. She was preparing to ask what the tree was for when Trunks turns around holding a scroll with a purple like flame surrounding it.

"What's that?" the girl questions with her head tilting to the side.

"This...is the Scroll of Eternity. All of our time...all of our history, everything. It's all listed in here. This is the item we need to travel through time for our interventions. Here...take a look," he utters rolling out the scroll. She stares at the blank scroll for only a moment, her eyes glancing over to the strange feather on the side before a screen like box appears on the scroll. She watches as a scene plays out before her, the killing of a man that looks like a Saiyan she used to hang out with, another Saiyan ending a Namekian and then laughing like an idiot as a strange and sickly violet aura appears around him before his eyes flash an angry red.

"As you can see," Trunks begins, "if our history is in any way altered or distorted, it will destroy our time line. And if a time line fails...it puts a strain on the cosmos. Its been rumored that too much strain will shatter the universes."

"You know...if you had told me all this back at the start I wouldn't have asked so many questions..." she growls at him, making the boy once again blush.

"Uhh...anyway we have no choice...we have to stop it. We can't let history change and our time line disappear. Take this," he says to her holding out a small ear phone, "This is how I'll stay in contact with you. You can hear me and I can hear you...some of the tech the Supreme Kai of Time made for us. Don't ask me how it works across time."

"Right..." she utters back to him as she places it in her ear.

"The man you saw on the scroll; his name is Goku...and he's the one who has been declared as this time line's hero...and he needs your help. So please! Go save him, Time Patroller Kolra!" he finishes. Kolra nods just once and focuses on the feeling she was getting from the scroll. Her eyes close as holographic gears appear around her and the world blanks out to white.

~~~Age 761~~~

As the blankness of her travel through time fades back into the world she opens her eyes. The scroll is gone from her hand, but she isn't worried. Deep down she knows Trunks will be the one to call her back after this mission was taken care of. Speaking of which she watches as a small four year old boy destroys her fellow Saiyan's pod. The boy screams something about his daddy and then races towards the Saiyan who was standing over Goku. He appears in shock and then smirks while his eyes flash red and that strange aura appears around him. He dodges the boy, letting him run his power out and fall to the ground panting. He holds his arm out and fires a blast at the boy. Kolra races down, grabbing the boy in her arms and vanishing before all the fighters even realize she's there; only to appear behind the aggressive Saiyan. She hears the beep of a scouter as she sets him down and turns to the attacker, her tail wrapping around her waist naturally as she prepares to fight. Their eyes meet for only a moment as he stares at the female Saiyan before him.

"What the hell?" he questions. Meanwhile off to the side the Namekian turns towards Goku.

"Uh...someone you know Goku?" he growls at the man on the ground.

"Nope..." Goku remarks, slowly turning over and standing up, "but...heh heh heh...I'm pretty sure it's someone we can trust," he finishes as both of them drop into a stance. Raditz continues to glare at the three warriors before him while crossing his arms. He then smirks and his eyes flash again as his hands quickly come out in front of him, firing two high power beams at the three warriors before him. Piccolo and Goku dodge to the left and right respectfully letting the beam pass between them. Kolra just jumps into the air and brings her nails up to her face, blowing lightly on them.

"You're a naughty one aren't you," she says with a soft laugh while stretching her arm out and spreading her fingers like she was looking over a fresh manicure.

"You're fairly cocky for some female trash that flew in to join these other two pieces of garbage. But like my daddy always use to say...no matter how much trash there is, its still just trash!" he roars, racing at Goku and knocking his brother to the ground again while lifting his palm to fire at Piccolo. His eyes widen when he finds the female in front of him, her hand on his wrist. She quickly points his hand into the sky making his blast miss the green man before she spins, planting her elbow deep into his stomach making the air rush from his lungs.

~Can you hear me?~ suddenly echos in her ear. She gives a low grunt while watching Raditz recover from a simple elbow. This was going to be boring...~Ok, good. You can consider me your operator, I'll be watching over your progress from here in the "Time Nest". I'll also pull you out in an emergency situation. Anyway, this Raditz is stronger and crueler than history tells us. I need you to weaken him so Piccolo and Goku can finish him off according to how history played out~

"Fine," she utters making the other two fighters with her tilt their heads and stare at her. Raditz by this moment recovers and races at his brother again. Hitting Goku with another harsh punch he manages to flip his body and kick Piccolo away. Just as he lands on his feet Kolra rushes forward and slams her foot into his stomach, shattering his armor just like Gohan would have historically done. This gave enough time for Piccolo to stretch his arm out and smack Raditz into the dirt. Goku goes to slam a foot on the fallen Raditz only for the Saiyan to roll away and catch him in a foot sweep. Goku catches himself on one hand and meets Raditz kick with one of his own. The power behind the kicks sent out a loud boom. The brothers flip away from each other and Raditz grabs at his stomach with one hand as Piccolo lands next to Goku and Kolra lands a little further off from them, crossing her arms and floating just inches above the ground.

"Do you think you can try that attack again Piccolo?" Goku asks while panting and rubbing lightly at his shin that had just meet his brother's.

"Maybe...but I'm gonna need time," the green man turns towards the two Saiyan's before him and smirks at them, "Think you can keep him off me for a few moments."

"Oh dear Kami you two are pathetic...look I'll hold him off. You," she points at Goku "grab him when you have an opening. And you," now pointing at Piccolo, "kill him when he grabs him."

"Sounds like a plan," the two say at the same time. Kolra only grunts and then lets herself drop to the ground. She then slowly starts walking towards Raditz. He backs up a little with some fear showing on his face.

"K-Kakarot...are you going to let her kill your only brother?" he questions with a slight tremble at the start of his sentence. She merely sneers at the weak man before her, continuing to walk towards him with a promise of death in her eyes as she closes her hands into fists, popping her knuckles.

"A horrible, heartless guy like you...is not my brother!" Goku shouts at him. Before Raditz can respond Kolra is in front of him. Raditz stares at her and then roars in pain as her tail whips out and bitch slaps him into the side of a mountain. He pulls his face from the rocks and holds his hands up defensively.

~You've probably weakened him enough Kolra...find an out!~ Trunks' voice echoes in her ear, making the woman frown and her eyes squint slightly while trying to figure it out.

"I quit! I-I'll leave this planet quietly okay?!" he screams in fear. Kolra smirks once more and holds up a fist getting ready to plow it into the boy again. If Goku was the hero everyone seems to think he is he should...

"Wait!" Goku screams making Kolra stop in mid lunge.

"Bingo!"

She turns towards the beat up man and stares at him in fake shock. Piccolo, with his fingers to his forehead isn't faking his own shock.

"Don't let him fool you Goku! He'll never do something like that!" Piccolo roars at the foolish Saiyan. As if to prove him right Raditz suddenly smirks at Kolra.

"Fooled you!" he roars launching a ki attack directly into the woman's face, blowing her away from the area and making her land in the crater with his broken pod. She lays there with a frown on her face while glancing down to her clothes. She could hear the three boys yelling just outside the crater as she slowly sits up.

~That was perfect Kolra! I'll be bringing you back just as soon as we're sure the time line is secured,~ Trunks' voice echos once again.

"You owe me some new clothes," she growls lightly.

~Don't worry about that. We get credits for doing this job that we can use in the shops around town. I ain't buying you clothes, but lunch is on me...that sounds fair right?~ he asks. She could hear him typing away at a keyboard as he spoke to her.

"Sounds good," she remarks with a soft smile on her face.

"MAKANKOSAPPO!" roars from the other side of the crater, preceding a very bright light and loud noise. She shakes her head lightly as she stands while the holographic gears appear around her once again, the white expanse of nothing quickly following.
