Rayne had walked for a few more days, before he ran into a group of people. But it wasn't any ordinary group of people, it was friends and allies of Goku's. Rayne smiled and hurried to them. As he arrived, Trunks jumped up and drew his sword at Rayne, holding him at a standstill. Rayne was taken back by this, but he snapped out of it and drew his weapon in self defense. Bulma immediately began pleading with Trunks to not initiate a fight, but he refused to budge on his stance. "Why would I let such a genocidal maniac live! I could end him right now and our future would be secure!"
Rayne relaxed out of his stance, with a concerned look on his face. He immediately sheathed his sword and pit his shield on his back. "Hey, I don't know where you're getting that idea from, but I haven't killed anyone, recently at least. It's been well over a decade since I've killed anyone." Trunks was also confused. He sheathed his sword, and walked towards Rayne. "But that's impossible." He leaned forward to Rayne and whispered in his ear. "I'm a time traveller, and in my time, you've ended humanity as a whole, the only ones left are me, and a couple androids that are upset that you've taken over the mantle in taking the world over."
Rayne looked at Trunks, and stepped back slightly. "I-I don't know what universe you're from, but I've been keeping myself in check, I couldn't possibly do such a thing. But, I promise you that I won't do anything of the sorts. If I do, I give you full permission to end me, okay?" Trunks nodded, and took a deep breath. Suddenly, Bulma's voice could be heard. "Hey you two! Just what are you talking about over there! Are you gonna end this guy or what?"
Trunks and Rayne looked over to her, and Trunks began laughing, Rayne chuckling as well. "No, no. I was mistaken, he isn't a genocidal maniac." Everyone, except Vegeta, naturally, began laughing, and went back to their business, Trunks sitting back down on the same rock he was on before. Rayne walked over to Gohan, and sat down next to him."Hey! You're the guy that helped my dad on Namek, right?" Rayne looked down to him. "Well, yes I was. And I assumed that you were his son the moment I saw him take care of you like he did. He's a good father, you know. Too bad he disappeared with Namek."
Gohan stood in front of Rayne. "May I ask what happened after we were all teleported to Earth?" Rayne looked at him and nodded. "Well, we defeated Frieza rather quickly, and we would've been doomed if not for your father. He found our escape, but we didn't escape to the same location. I've been walking for weeks, since I left my pod. I was lucky to get new clothes, and a weapon from my own father." Gohan's eyes lit up. "Oh really? What's your father like?" Rayne chuckled and relaxed against the rock he was leaning against.
"Well, let's just say that he is a frequent visitor of King Kai's." Rayne began laughing, and Gohan followed suit, soon stopping. "Anyway, what's everyone gathered here for anyway?" Gohan spoke with a very excited tone. "My dad's coming home! This stranger here said he'd be here in this spot." A voice could be heard from where Trunks was standing. "And he's going to be here any minute now, so get ready guys." Gohan laughed happily and ran over to where Krillin was, while Rayne stood up and stretched."So, you're the one that helped Kakarot defeat the almighty Frieza?" Rayne looked over to Vegeta, and nodded. "Yep. It was me. What's it to ya?" Vegeta became visibly upset by this tone, and made it known to him. "Hey! I am the Prince of all Saiyans! You will address me with proper respect or else I will annihilate you!" Rayne hung his head and sighed. "I didn't want any trouble, okay? I apologise."
Vegeta was taken back by this, but before he had time to respond, a space pod came from the sky and crash landed a few kilometres away. The group immediately ran for the crash site, and saw a pod in a giant crater. Goku emerged from the pod, and everyone began jumping for joy, although Goku was curious as to how everyone knew that he would be there. Bulma explained that it was Trunks, and that he knew exactly where and when Goku would land. Trunks then took Goku aside and tested him, finding that he could trust Goku, and telling him about the impending android threat.
