A pillar of light emerged from the seven balls as the glowed brightly. The sky darkened and the light began to take the shape of a serpent whose tail ended in the balls. Slowly the light faded and the green dragon that was Shenron loomed over Neo and the others.
"You have summoned me here less than a year after the first wish. Tell me what your second wish is."
Gohan thought for a moment before making the wish. "I would like you to restore the earth to the way it was before the world martial arts tournament was attack by Vegeta, and don't revive the Majins…oh and Vegeta doesn't count as a Majin."
Shenron's eyes glowed. "It shall be done." Slowly, but surely the ecosystems, cities and inhabitants of earth were restored, and the Majins were absent. However, Gohan could sense Vegeta's power. Shenron disappeared with the darkness, and the seven balls scattered.
Neo stared up in amazement. So that was Shenron. If only that power were available in my timeline. Neo sighed, no one noticed, except Piccolo.
"Something wrong?" Piccolo asked Neo after they were out of the earshot of the others.
"Nothing. Just remembering the past. I had only heard stories of Shenron, but hadn't ever seen him in person."
"Speaking of the past, who are you. I can tell that you're of saiyan heritage, but who are your parents?"
Neo would have told Piccolo had he not remembered what happened the last time he told. Vegeta might reject me if he knows who my parents are. He seemed to hate mother in particular. "It's…its not important."
Piccolo would have raised an eyebrow if he had one. "What do you mean? I think it would be important to know where a mystery saiyan is coming from. The last time we met a mysterious young saiyan he was from the future and had a prophecy of doom for us."
"Hey you two. We're going to the lookout." Gohan called out to them before leaving with the others.
Neo turned back to Piccolo. "I'll tell you all the important information later. I don't know much about this timeline."
"So you are from a different timeline."
"I am. I'll tell you more later." Neo took off after Gohan and was followed by a curious Piccolo.
Everyone who had died at the lookout where back there.
"So where were you two in otherworld?" asked Bulma; her question was directed at Yamcha and Krillin.
Krillin responded with pride. "We had the exclusive privilege to train with the grand Kai himself."
"That does explain everything. We thought you two had somehow gone below."
"We would never go there!" answered Yamcha and Krillin simultaneously.
A few minutes after everyone was settled in, Gohan, Neo and everyone with him or her had arrived at the lookout. Neo stood off to the side as the others exchanged hellos, and hugs.
Neo noticed Eighteen standing next to Krillin. Between them was a toddler with features from both. So my mother is with Krillin in this timeline. All the more reason to keep my identity secret.
A few minutes later Vegeta surged onto the lookout. "What's going here?" Everyone turned his or her attention to Vegeta. A few moments later Bulma and Trunks ran up to him and hugged him. "What's wrong woman?"
"We missed you. I'll tell you everything when we get home."
After prying Bulma and Trunks off him, Vegeta noticed Neo standing in the corner by himself. Nobody else had taken notice of him since the reunion. "Who are you boy? I've never seen you before."
All eyes were now fixed on Neo. Gohan decided to help him out and stepped forward. 'This is Neo. He helped me defeat Majin Buu."
Vegeta was shocked. "Majin Buu survived?" The others nodded. So my efforts were in vain. At least he's gone now.
Everyone started thanking Neo for his help. Eighteen was not among the group. Something about Neo seemed familiar. He looked like a bulked up version of her brother with facial features from what seemed to be and attractive man. It was then that Vegeta saw the tail wrapped around Neo's waist. No one else had paid attention to it.
