Chapter 2: Foreseeing the Future

"Look out; he's coming in too fast!" Sai yelled.

Goku's space pod crash landed on to Earth leaving behind a giant crater. Everyone flew off to the direction of the space pod. The door to the space pod slowly opened up and Goku stepped out of the space pod wearing the most unusual and ridiculous alien outfit. "Hey guys. What are you all doing here?" Goku asked as he saw everyone.

"DADDY!!!" Galina yelled happily. She flew towards her father and hugged him tightly; Goku smiled and hugged his daughter back. "Hey there Galina."

Gohan quickly joined his sister. "Dad! You're back!" he said happily.

"Yes I am son," Goku said hugging Gohan. "But how did you guys know I was coming? And what happened to Frieza?" he asked sounding worried. "I sensed him here a while ago but now he's gone."

"Its alight dad, Frieza was taken out by him." Gohan said pointing Trunks who is standing with Pan and the others.

"Yeah they know all about you daddy," Galina said

Goku looked at Trunks and Pan. "They do? But we've never even met before."

"Are you sure?" asked Gohan. "They seem to know a lot about you."

"Of course I'm sure." Goku told his kids.

"Just to let you in on things Goku. This guy transformed into a super saiyan and picked Frieza apart," Piccolo said looking at Trunks.

Goku looked at Trunks in wonder. "Really?! Wow! That's incredible! A super saiyan at his age? That's amazing!" he said.

"Aren't you forgetting something Kakkarot? You, your kids, and myself are the only saiyans left! So there is no way he can be a super saiyan!" Vegeta yelled looking at Trunks.

"But he is Vegeta we all saw it," Krillin said.

Vegeta crossed his arms stubbornly. "Well I'm calling him a liar not a weakling." he replied.

Galina looked at Trunks and then at her father. "He saved me from Frieza Daddy," she said to him.

"Really? Well isn't that nice," Goku replied.

"Uh Goku, could we have a word with you?" asked Trunks.

"Yeah it's really important," said Pan.

"Huh? Oh sure, why not? I mean you saved my daughter. So I might as well talk to you guys," Goku replied as he flew off with Pan and Trunks to talk away from the others.

Galina pouted a little as they left. "Dad better not be giving his 'My little girl is an angel' speech that is so embarrassing…" she said.

"What's embarrassing are those clothes he's wearing. Just where the heck did he get them?" Gohan wondered.

"Yeah you're right," Galina replied and giggled a little looking at Vegeta's outfit. "But at least it's not pink!" she said.

"What was that?!" Vegeta yelled catching the end of her conversation

"Oh nothing!" Galina answered quickly.

Meanwhile Goku, Trunks, and Pan landed far away enough from the others so that they couldn't be heard by them.

"I really should be thanking you for defeating Frieza and helping my daughter out," Goku said to Trunks.

"Well I had to take care of him since you weren't around," Trunks replied.

"True, but if I wanted to I could've arrived home in an instant."

"Huh? How could you be able to do that Grandpa……I mean Goku!" Pan asked as she quickly corrected herself.

"Well its all thanks to a new technique I learned. It's called Instant Transmission…wait a minute, did you just call ME GRANDPA?!!!" Goku exclaimed looking at Pan.

Pan covered her mouth with her hands. "Ooops…" she said quietly.

"Oh nice going Pan," said Trunks rolling his eyes. "Ok I guess we can explain to you who we really are Goku."

"Explain what exactly?" Goku asked puzzled.

"My name is Trunks and this is Pan. Now I know this may sound strange to you but, we're not from this time. We're from 20 years in the future."

"The future?! Wow! So…why did you call me grandpa, Pan?" Goku asked.

"Because I'm your grand daughter, grandpa! I'm Gohan's daughter!"

Pan happily answered.

"WHAT?!" Goku exclaimed. He then looked back and fourth at Gohan and Pan. "Oh yeah I see now. You've defiantly got Gohan's eyes, that's for sure," he said and smiled. "Well what do you know? I'm gonna be a grand father. Well what about you Trunks? Who are your parents?"

"Vegeta was right. Only you, your children, and himself have saiyan blood. And I got mine from him you see Vegeta is my father," Trunks answered.

"Vegeta's your FATHER!?" Goku exclaimed in astonishment. "Wow! I never thought of him as a parent before. So whose the lucky girl then?" Goku asked.

Trunks blushed at this. "Ahh…she's standing right over there," he answered and pointed to the waiting Bulma.

Hearing this Goku fell to the ground laughing like crazy. "Bulma's your MOTHER?!?" he managed to say between his laughs.

-----------------------------

Everyone who was watching the conversation saw Goku fall. "That kid just pointed his finger and Kakarott fell down," Vegeta said.

"I could have sworn I heard Goku call out my name." Bulma said.

-----------------------------

"Please promise you won't tell them about us Grandpa." Pan said in her most pleading voice.

"Ok you have my word," said Goku calming down at last. "I swear I won't tell anyone about you, but its nice to meet my future grand daughter and Vegeta's son."

"Actually we didn't come all this way to tell you that Goku," Trunks said sounding more serious.

"Huh? There's more?" Goku asked.

"Oh yes. About three years from now on the morning of May 12th at 10 am on an island nine miles southwest of South City, two killer androids will surface. Their creator is Dr Gero, the one responsible for the Red Ribbon Army. Everyone whose faced these killer androids have been killed off. Pan and I are the only ones left to fight those monsters! We're doing the best we can, but their just too strong! Even Gohan and Galina are dead…." Trunks explained to Goku.

"What…..even Sai?!" Goku asked horrified.

Pan shook her head. "No….he's still alive…but….," Pan couldn't finish speaking since she started to cry. "….Trunks you tell him….I can't….," she said in between sobs.

"Tell me what?" Goku asked.

"Sai, he's….one of them….." Trunks answered sadly.

"WHAT?!" Goku asked in shock.

Pan and Trunks just nodded their heads sadly. "He's known as Android 21 in our world." Pan said.

"Once Android 21 was activated we had no chance…I thought I could handle everything once I became a super saiyan after Gohan died, but….I couldn't…..I tried to save your daughter Goku, but I was too late….I'm sorry…." Trunks said in disappointment.

"But…but how could that happen?!" Goku said trying desperately to understand. "Sai wouldn't do anything to hurt us!"

"We still don't know what Dr Gero did to Sai," said Pan. "That's why I'm staying here to make sure nothing happens to him! I'm not going to see him turn into a heartless monster!"

"Wait a minute? What about me? Do I die in the battle too?" Goku asked.

"No. You die before the androids turn up," answered Trunks. "Not long from now you're going to get a virus that attacks the heart. Sadly you die from it as there is no cure in this time."

"What?! I get killed by a stupid heart virus? Darn it! And I wanted to fight those androids and help Sai!" Goku said.

Pan and Trunks looked at Goku in surprise.

"You mean your not afraid of them grandpa? Even after what we've said, you still want to fight them?" Pan asked.

"Well I am a little bit," admitted Goku. "But all challenges are hard at first, maybe I can make a difference this time around."

Trunks and Pan smiled.

"A guy like you probably can," Trunks said as he reached into his jacket pocket and took out a small bottle. "Take this. It's an antidote for that nasty virus you're going to get. As I said there's no cure for that virus now, but in our time there is. Just take this when you get sick and you'll be fine." Trunks explained as he handed Goku the antidote.

"Thank you. You two are very brave for doing this," Goku told them.

"Thanks Grandpa," Pan replied happily.

"Alright Pan you can stay here and keep an eye on Sai as we planned, but I've got to get back and help mom. Stay out of trouble, alright?" Trunks said to her.

"Who me?" Pan asked with an innocent look on her face.

"Don't worry about a thing Trunks; I'll make sure she doesn't get into any trouble." Goku said reassuringly.

"Right," Trunks replied he took one last look back over at the others and smiled. "Take care," he said and flew off while Goku and Pan flew back to everyone else.

"Daddy, what's going on?" Galina asked.

"Well I can't tell you everything," Goku answered his daughter.

"Well if you won't then I will," Piccolo said.

"Huh? You heard?" Goku asked.

"My ears do more than just frame my face. Besides we ALL have a chance to change our destinies not just them," Piccolo answered.

"But….Piccolo you heard…." Goku said sounding a little worried.

"Don't worry Goku I won't endanger the lives of your friends," Piccolo replied and then told everyone what would happen three years from now.

"Oh great more trouble!" Yamcha complained.

"Don't worry Yamcha, we can handle it." Goku said confidently.

Galina sighed. "I didn't even get a chance to thank Trunks properly," she said.

"Oh don't worry Galina; I'm sure Trunks will be back for you," Pan replied and then giggled. She then walked over to Gohan and Sai. "So are you boys ready to see what I can do?" she asked them.

Gohan smiled. "I admire your determination Pan," he told her.

Pan proudly smiled at this while Galina blinked her eyes confused as to what Pan had meant. She then noticed Trunks near his time machine.

"Oh there he is!" she said and then flew over to him. Goku smiled watching his daughter fly off.

"Hurry back sweetheart! We've gotta lot of catching up to do!" he called to her. Galina smiled and flew towards Trunks. Trunks was all ready to leave when he suddenly saw Galina's reflection from the hull of the time machine. He turned around in shock as Galina landed near him. "Galina! What are you doing here?!" he asked nervously.

"I just wanted to say thanks again for saving me and…." Galina trailed off as she saw the time machine.

"You're not from around here are you?" she asked. Trunks had a very nervous look on his face. "What gave you that idea?" he asked her.

"That," Galina answered as she pointed to the time machine. "Ok, what's going on?" she asked as she placed her hands on her hips like Chi-Chi did when she wanted a straight answer.

"Ok I guess I can tell you. But promise me you won't tell anyone else," he said to her.

"Ok I promise." Galina said.

Trunks then explained about who he and Pan were and about the chaos and devastation going on in his world. However he didn't have the heart to tell her about everyone dieing and Sai becoming a killer android.

Galina had a surprised and sad look on her face. "Wow….it must be pretty rough there. You can't go back to the future on your own," she said.

"If you're thinking of coming with me forget it! It's too dangerous and Goku would never forgive me if anything happened to you," Trunks told her.

"But….I want to help you. You helped me so its only right that I return the favor," Galina replied.

"But Galina…." Trunks protested.

"I promise I'll be careful." Galina said.

"But what about your family? I'm sure Goku wants to spend some time with you," Trunks replied.

"Yea but…I'm sure dad won't mind. I'll bet he'll be proud of me knowing that I'm helping you. I'll go ask him," so saying Galina flew over to Goku. "Dad? Can we talk….alone?"

"Sure!" Goku answered and they flew off to talk.

"Dad….Trunks told me everything, he needs help in his world…..so I was thinking…..can I go with him and help?" she asked.

"Go with Trunks? Why?" Goku asked.

"To help him fight the androids….." Galina answered.

"But Galina….what do I tell your mother?" Goku asked knowing Chi-Chi wouldn't like the idea of their only daughter fighting killer androids.

"Oh yea….mom will flip out…but Trunks is outnumbered in the future…..I wouldn't want anything to happen to him…" she explained.

Goku had a confused look on his face for a moment and then smiled at his daughter. "Oh I get it! You like him don't you?" he said with a smile.

Hearing this Galina dropped to the ground and then got back up. "NO I don't! Is it so wrong to help someone without having it mean something else? You're worse than Gohan when he teases me!" Galina replied and pouted.

Goku laughed. "Okay you can go, but promise me you're coming back. Chi-Chi would kill me if you didn't!"

"Of course I'm coming back daddy!" Galina said and hugged her father. "Tell Gohan and Sai to behave themselves and I guess Pan can have my room until I get back," she said.

"That's my girl, you're always thinking about other people. Take care of yourself Galina and be careful," Goku said to her.

"I will daddy!" Galina replied and kissed his cheek. She then flew off to where Trunks was waiting.

"Well?" Trunks asked.

"My dad is ok with it, so let's go!" Galina answered.

"Alright then…but I did warn you," Trunks told her. He then went over to his time machine and opened it up.

"I'm Goku's daughter, I can handle anything!" Galina said.

Trunks smiled and then suddenly blushed. "There's only room for one….so you'll….have to sit on my lap….."Trunks told her.

Galina also blushed at this. "Oh…..I guess I can handle that….." she replied.

Trunks got into the time machine and then Galina sat on his lap blushing red as she did so. Trunks was equally red.

"Well…..here we go!" Trunks said as he activated the time machine.

Trunks and Galina took one last look at their family and friends as the time machine disappeared in a flash of light.

(Good luck guys….) Pan thought.

"Dad do you think Galina's going to be ok?" Gohan asked.

Goku smiled at his son. "I'm sure she will son. I'm sure she will," he answered.
