Hello! I am so sorry that I haven't updated in while, I've been busy. This chapter might be shorter than the others, but I promise the next one is going to be longer than this. I had also planed to add in an OC, but I don't think I'm going to do that. Anyways, please, read and review, I love hearing what you think :)


Future Trunks stepped out of the cave, shading his eyes. Were they still on Earth? The sun seemed unbearably hot, and the area was barren with no sign of life for kilometres around.

The soil was red and dry, and there were a few, lonely shrubs that had taken root around. Apart from himself, Vegeta, Goku and Gohan #2, he couldn't sense any life. Where were they?

Almost as if reading his mind, Goku began speaking.

"So, you guys will be wondering where we are. Gohan has some idea, but Trunks, you're probably still wondering if we're on Earth or not. Right?" He paused as Trunks nodded vigourously. "Well, we are on a planet called Ellis. Ellis is barren and lifeless, since the suns are very, very close to the planet and have wiped out the native forms of life." Goku gestured to the suns. There were two, red and angry-looking.

"Even ordinary humans wouldn't be able to bear this temperature. Vegeta and I are full-blooded Saiyans, so we can stay here. Gohan and Trunks, you both are half-Saiyans, so it isn't comfortable for you, but it isn't unbearable either."

"But why are we here? Did you take us here for some reason, or you just thought it would be fun to take us to some burning planet?!" Trunks asked in confusion. Vegeta spoke up.

"Ryuu. He is the last of a race called the Carta. They were destroyed by Frieza, but he escaped and fled to our solar system. He is worse than Cell, not only because he is stronger than Cell, but because he is a despicable freak who enjoys despicable things." Vegeta spat. Trunks was surprised by his display of contempt; he was usually only this vehement about Frieza.

"He kills me, and 30,000 people from West City."

"Wait, what?! How are you here if he killed you? How did he kill 30,000 people? How?!" Trunks panicked.

Goku sighed, and took something off his head. Trunks hadn't even realized that he was wearing a cap, but as soon as Goku removed the cap, he gasped.

There was a halo over his head.

"W-W-What? H-How is that even p-possible?!" Trunks stammered out. Vegeta sighed.

"We need to get Ryuu to Ellis. We have destroyed his spaceship, and he is looking for a new one. Before that happens, we hope to get that monster away from Earth and over here. Then, as he will gradually get weakened due to lack of food and water, I will kill him." Vegeta said, smiling at the last part.

Gohan, who had remained silent for most of the time, piped up.

"We'd better get back. Even though it's only been ten minuted here, it's been an hour on Earth."

Goku nodded, and they walked towards the cave. They clambered into the small area, and Goku once again groped for the green button in the dim yellow light of the Ki ball. When Goku pressed the button, everyone except Vegeta closed their eyes and waited.

After five minuted, Trunks opened an eye and was shocked to find they hadn't moved. Not one inch.

"Damn. Kakarot, I think it's broken."


"What are we going to do?!" Both the Bulma's began panicking. Everyone started yelling simultaneously, and it was pandemonium.

"Don't worry, B. Tien, Chiaotzu and I will stall him till Goku gets here." Yamcha #1 put his hand on Bulma (#1)'s shoulder.

Vegeta twitched in annoyance. Not wanting to witness any more of their interaction, he walked to the edge of the lookout.

"I don't need Kakarot; I am more than enough." He took off, ignoring the cries of the people behind.

"It's okay, we'll go after him, Bulma. Don't worry." Yamcha reassured her, and flew off with Tien and Chiaotzu. Bulma prayed for their safety to Kami.

Please, don't let them die. Especially Vegeta. Never him.
