Hi! I've tried to add another chapter, but then I lost my device for a while. No problem though, it's here now! Thank you for waiting. I also want to tell you guys that this is the last time I'll be putting a disclaimer in this story. I think it's ridiculous and a waste of time to put it in inside every new chapter. You guys get the point! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please let me know what you think, I love getting reviews!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Dragon Ball (Z/GT) or any of the characters in this story. They belong to Akira Toriyama (unfortunately).
"Baba?" They all cried out spontaneously as the wizened old fortuneteller came into view. She hopped off her broom and her large glass ball came into view. Roshi stormed up to her, looking uncharacteristically irritated.
"What do you want?" He asked her. She looked offended.
"I had come here to warn Goku of something, but it seems I am not welcome here. I can leave if you like." She got onto her broom and made a show of getting ready to fly off.
"No, wait! Master Roshi is a bit surprised was all. We don't want you to go." Goku #1 intervened hurriedly. Baba looked mollified and got off her broom (for the second time).
"Uh, guys? Who...is she, exactly?" Trunks (from the #2's) asked confusedly. (A/N: He's never met Baba, has he?")
"I am a fortuneteller. I am also Roshi's sister." Trunks went back, looking as if the explanation was inadequate.
"So, what did you want to warn me about?" Goku asked. Baba cleared her throat, suddenly looking grave.
"Goku... I'm going to give it to you as I saw it. I was observing Cell as he was waiting outside his stadium. What I saw, then, was that there was a shadow lurking near him, which should not have been there. As I was watching, this shadow turned into a large monster! It was three times as big as Cell, dark red, and it looked very scary. As soon as Cell noticed it, it leapt up and they began fighting. I won't give you all the unimportant details, but basically it killed Cell. It was easily five times stronger than him." She finished. The others looked shocked.
"Guys?" Bulma #2's voice came amidst the frightened chatter of the fighters.
"There's something we haven't told you. We also saw this 'creature'. He calls himself 'Ryuu'. In the past we experienced, Goku didn't defeat Cell, he defeated this guy. He died in the process, as he will in this timeline, but Ryuu managed to take out 30,000 people from West City along with him. That's the real purpose of our visit; preventing those deaths from happening."
"30,000? Three with FOUR zeroes?!" Krillin asked, shocked. Bulma #2 nodded her head sadly. Yamcha stared slackjawed at Baba, unable to believe what had just transpired.
"So, are Future Goku and Vegeta doing something that's connected to this?" Piccolo #1 asked shrewdly. ChiChi #2 answered unexpectedly.
"My Goku and Vegeta are trying to create a portal which leads into a deserted planet called Ellis. Ellis has a barely habitable environment, and only criminals and the like visit it. We don't have enough strength to restrain Ryuu all the way to Ellis if we use a spaceship; even at light speed it would take three years to get to it. They were trying to create a portal through which they could transport Ryuu there instantly, so the universe would be rid of him forever. However, they encountered some technical difficulties and so we decided to travel back earlier than planned, to warn you."
"But did Dr. Gero also create this Ryuu guy? He doesn't sound like an android." Bulma #1 asked.
"No, he isn't an android. Ryuu is the last of a race called the Carrta. The Carrta were a cruel and vindictive race that were many times more powerful than any race. However, Frieza destroyed their homeworld when he saw he couldn't control them, and Ryuu was the only one to escape alive. He fled to Mars, but it was too frigid an environment for him. His kind needs heat, so he came to Earth." Bulma #2 said.
A hush blanketed the crowd, as they realized what a serious situation they had tumbled into. Not only was there something stronger than Cell, that thing would murder 30,000 Earthlings, and there was nothing they could do about it!
"Um, everyone? I don't mean to interrupt, but there is a huge energy signature headed straight for the Lookout." Dende #1 said nervously. Bulma #2 gasped and looked at everyone, here face turning white.
"How big? Bigger than Cell's?" she snapped at Dende.
"Yes, most definitely. This seem to be six times as big, and it is going to arrive in approximately two and a half minutes." He replied. A pallor cast over her face, and everyone else broke into a sweat.
Was it Ryuu?
Hey! Please, review and tell me what you thought of this chapter. I'm still a bit unsure if it's good. Thank you for reading it, hope you enjoyed it! =)
