Chidori glared out at nothing as she flew Bulma, baby Trunks and Yajirobe to their homes. She was not happy. At all.

'This isn't fair. Why do I get left out of the fight and my future self doesn't? I'm a super saiyan, too! I can help. Why don't they let me? The present me?!'

Her thoughts ran wild, even after she had dropped off Bulma, her baby and Yajirobe. She was heading home now at full power, not even aware to herself that she could use teleportation now if she wanted to. She was too deep in thought.

'The Future me. Future Chidori. Heck, I'll just call her F Chidori. She's strong. But doesn't everyone realize that that makes ME strong too?! It's me! We're the same person for crying out loud!'

She sighed loudly, 'This is all just too weird. I hope dad feels better soon after taking his medicine.'

Finally she reached her home only to find her friends and mother loading her father up in a capsule corp plane.

She landed in front of the house, "What's going on, mom?! Did something happen!?"

Krillin answered instead, "Don't worry. We'll explain everything on the plane."

After they told her everything that happened and why they were headed for Master's Roshi's island, Chidori could only nod.

"They think killing Goku is all just some sort of game" Krillin finished.

"They're that strong?" Chidori seemed apprehensive, 'Whoa' she thought, 'I guess since my future self even got clobbered, I supposed it's a good thing I didn't fight after all'

Then Yamcha, who was flying the plane, asked the most obvious question, "So what now?"

Trunks tried to suggest going back in the past even further to destroy the Andriods before they awoke but it was a no good plan for this timeline. Trunks remembered how his mother in his timeline explained it to him and F Chidori. That if he went even further back, that would only create another timeline. The present timeline that they were in right now would not be affected and neither would his own.

So they were back to square one.

"So many things have changed in this timeline since Chi and I came here three years ago. The first two Andriods you faced, 17 and 18's strength, their mercy levels, another Android and even Goku's timing of getting affected by the virus. So many things are different that I wonder if I will even make a difference here"

Chi-Chi smiled at him, "Oh don't worry about it, sweety. You brought the medicine to my Goku and if it wasn't for you then he'd be gone. I thank you for that"

Chidori nodded, "Yeah! You did make a difference! Wait. . . .what is your name again?"

Trunks blushed and smiled a bit, "It's Trunks"

She stared, "You mean like Bulma's baby?! You're Trunks?! Holy cow!"

Trunks smiled, seeing how much of the past was still in his Future Chidori. Even after all this time he could see the happiness that was in her as a child.

Future Chidori meanwhile was sitting beside Piccolo at Kami's palace. They thought that he could just quickly merge and be done with it but that wasn't going to happen. Kami could sense a new danger on Earth and he didn't want to merge until he knew that Piccolo was ready to take it on mentally and emotionally.

Future Chidori just sat on the ground of the palace, cross-legged, carefully meditating just as Piccolo always did and does. Piccolo smirked at the thought that the girl looked remarkably like her father and yet acted so much like himself.

Since they were still waiting patiently for Kami's answer, or rather in Piccolo's case, impatiently, he decided that he might as well start a conversation with the girl that warmed his heart to begin with.

"So then. . . what do I call you exactly?"

Chidori cracked open an eye, "What do you mean?"

"I mean" Piccolo crossed his arms with a narrowed stare, "Since there are two Chidori's in this timeline, what should I call you? Everyone can't keep calling you BOTH Chidori. It would just get too confusing."

Chidori pondered for a few moments, "How about Future Chidori?"

Piccolo shook his head, "Too long"

"Future Chi?"

The Namekian placed his one hand on a cross-legged leg and the other on his cheek, "No"

Chidori raised a brow, "Well I can't shorten it any further you know. I can't just call myself F Chidori or F Chi"

Piccolo blinked and stared for a few moments and smirked, "Actually, you could"

Chidori narrowed her eyes at him, "Screw you. No. It's too stupid of a nickname"

Piccolo almost chuckled, "So what? At least people would be able to differentiate the two of you by name"

She rolled her eyes and groaned, waiting for a few minutes before finally responding, "Fine. F Chi it is then"

Piccolo crossed his arms back in victory with a smirk plastered on his face, "You can never win over me, Chi. Just isn't possible"

"I guess not" F Chi laughed, "But there are some matters that I prevail over you"

He glared a little, "Like what?"

She raised a brow, "Don't question a woman. She'll always win in the end."

Kami sighed deeply from his post, "I don't know about this"

Chidori glanced at the Earth guardian/Namekian, "What is it Kami?"

Her and Piccolo stood up as the guardian turned to them, "It's worse than I thought. I thought that perhaps it wouldn't be a threat now that it didn't have a master. But I was wrong. It's destroying Gingertown as we speak."

F Chi gasped, "Gingertown? What's destroying it? Who?"

Piccolo growled, "Forget that for now! What we need to do now is merge so the threats can be extinguished!"

Kami stared at Piccolo with a saddened expression on his face, "Chidori?"

She blinked at him, "Yes?"

"If you don't mind me asking. How does Piccolo die in your future?"

F Chi sighed and gave a sad smile to her master, "He died protecting my mother for me. He died giving me a message of love of how much he cared for me. Like a daughter. He was a hero."

Piccolo smiled back at her and Kami, too.

"Well then it's settled. Piccolo. I will merge with you. Now"

-88888888888888888888888888888888888-

Meanwhile little Chidori was with Trunks and Bulma who had left in quite a hurry after they found a giant bug shell. They still weren't' quite sure about what it was but something told Trunks and Chidori that they'd find out.

Chidori scrunched her nose at the giant bug skin, "So what now Trunks?"

Trunks stared at her. It was almost scary how similar and yet how different they were, "I don't know. I suppose we should get back with the others."

"Okay!"

They took off, "What do you think is going on Trunks? I mean why are there two time machines? Do you think that somehow another you tried to come into the past but didn't make it? Does it have something to do with that big bug? It's shell was in the time machine. Do you think it came with a different you and ate you!?"

Trunks sighed, "You ask so many questions."

"Oh. Sorry"

He suddenly felt bad, "No! I mean it's a good thing! I just don't know about what's going on is all. I'm as clueless as you are."

Chidori hummed, "What am I like, Trunks?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

She huffed, "I mean what's the future me like! She seems so much more different than I am! Did I change that much?"

Trunks looked away, still flying, "Yes. You told me long ago what happened to you. Everyone close to you died. Even your mother. You told me you witnessed my father's death first and then Piccolo's who had risked his life to try and save your mom. In my time that's how you became a super saiyan. Not that it really mattered. You were still no match for the androids."

Chidori was silent, "Oh." She whispered, "I mean I knew everyone died but. . . . I'm sorry. I shouldn't've brought it up"

Trunks stared over to her, "You know . . .you two really aren't that different. She's still you. Yeah she's went through more but you both are still the same person. You would've done the same things she did. You're an amazing person, Chidori. Always remember that, okay?"

Chidori smiled, "Yeah"

They took off towards their friends, still very freaked out about whatever had come out of the other time machine.

In only a few minutes, they finally arrived at Master Roshi's island where everyone was hiding her father. He still hadn't awoken yet which was bad but nothing could be done about it. Chidori opened the door with Trunks behind her, "Hey guys! We're back!"

Krillin turned to her looking terrified, "Guys. You have to listen to this news story."

"News story?" she asked and went over to the TV to see what the group was so scared of.

The news reporter on the TV was in the midst of the action, "What was that?! I just heard a scream! And now there are gunshots! The police are shooting at something! What is it?!"

Suddenly everything was quiet and the reporter stated the obvious, "What's this? It suddenly got quiet. Let's take a look to see what's . . . what's" the man's face went blank with terror as he stared at something behind the camera and everything got quiet as the camera cut off, giving the TV a snowy screen.

Yamcha yelled, "What was that thing?! Let's go to another channel!"

Krillin turned the channel to see a working camera on live on the ground. Screams were heard, pleading for help. But then everything got quiet just as before.

-8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888-

F Chi stared at her old friend, "Piccolo? Are you still you?"

He and Kami had merged finally and they had become one person in Piccolo's body. But was it still Piccolo's mind? Mr. Popo wouldn't say anything. He was grieving for the loss of his old friend.

Piccolo tilted his head to her and smiled, "Yeah kid. It's still me. It's just . . . more of me"

F Chidori grinned, "So then you ready to go kick ass? I'm right behind you!"

Piccolo frowned, "No. I will fight alone. You'll stay here. The threat is strong. Stronger than you. But now that I have merged, I am stronger. I will be in no danger but you will. You will stay here"

F Chidori couldn't believe her ears, "What!? But Piccolo! How could you think that I'm not strong enough!? I can fight! Don't you dare say I can't, dammit!"

"Chidori!" he yelled at her, "Promise me you'll stay here!"

She stared into his coal eyes, shining with determination and love. He cared for her. She knew that. F Chi sighed, "Fine. But if I feel your power drop, I'm coming after you"

Piccolo smirked, "Fair enough kid"

He took off towards the enemy.

"Idiot" Chidori muttered.

-8888888888888888888888888888888888888-

"I'm going to go check it out" Trunks popped up and everyone stared at him as if he were crazy.

Chidori got excited, "I'll go too!"

Her mother yelled at her, "No you will not, little missy! Absolutely not!"

Trunks caught ahold of Chidori's attention before she fought with her mother, "I'll go alone. Don't worry. I'll be fine. I'm just going to check it out is all. You stay here and protect your dad from the androids, Chidori. Okay?"

Chidori stared into Trunks' eyes, remembering what he had said to her on the way over. She consented with a nod, "Okay."

Trunks gave her a smile but before he could take off, everyone felt a strong power. But something was very weird.

"Frieza and his father" Chidori whispered, "No way."

Trunks was afraid too, "Goku and Piccolo. And even my father!"

Yamcha growled, "This is impossible though! Frieza and his father are dead!"

Chidori floated up to her father's window to see his still there, "And dad's still in bed! What's happening?"

"It's coming from. . . "Trunks tried to think of the name of the town.

"Gingertown." Krillin filled in, "Where everyone was disappearing on TV."

Trunks growled, "I'm still going to go check it out! I'll bet whatever's doing this is the same thing that came out of that shell!"

He took off without another word with Krillin behind him and Chidori wanted to go with him so bad but stopped herself. She couldn't allow herself to go back on her word. She looked back through the window in the room where her father laid unconscious. She consented that she'd stay and protect her father.

'And I'll do so. No matter what'

-88888888888888888888888888888888888888-

Over an hour later, F Chi opened her eyes from meditating. She had felt Piccolo's energy go down a little but then it went back up. But something was definitely strange. She felt the other power that Piccolo was fighting. She felt Frieza, King Cold, Piccolo, Vegeta, and even her father's Ki. Except they were all meshed into one person.

'Strange. This new foe seems to have all of their energies. But how? It seems that Krillin and Trunks are on the battlefield now but the thing is going away. So it ran away, huh?'

She stood up and was about to leave when Mr. Popo stopped her, "Excuse me Miss Chi? Are you going to go?"

"Yes"

"Well in that case would you please do something for me first?"

She really didn't want to but she relented, "Fine. What is it, Mr. Popo?"

"Could you please tell everyone the seriousness of this new threat? And if they need to, everyone is always welcome to the lookout."

F Chi nodded with a smile, "Right. Thanks Mr. Popo"

She took off and when she finally found them, she bumped into Trunks first who had told her everything of the new threat. His name was Cell and he was created by Dr. Gero to be the Perfect weapon. He was going to absorb the androids to become even more powerful.

F Chi snarled, "Then we have to stop it."

Three days later

Everyone sat in front of the TV in anger and F Chi growled, "This is hopeless! We'll never find it!"

Piccolo growled as well, "Dammit! Now it went to the South district? How are we not sensing it?!"

They all got in a plane and went after it this time. Yamcha thought the plan was brilliant, "It'll never catch on this time"

Piccolo rolled his eyes, "I don't know. It's pretty clever. There's no way to find it if it hides before we get too close."

"That's when we find it before it can hide Piccolo" F Chi winked at him and Little Chidori snickered at Piccolo's pouting response.

"Shut up brats"

This only made them grin even more.

Suddenly someone appeared on the ship and F Chi had a fist ready in attack but stopped before she hit the intruder. She stared at the man who she looked so much alike and blinked at his shocked expression.

"Chidori?! Hey sweety!"

F Chi blinked again, "Dad?!" she flung her arms around him and little Chidori came and hugged him too, "Dad! I was so worried about you!"

F Chi backed away and knocked him on the head, "How could you make us worry so much?! Do you know how much we've needed you?! Why didn't you take your medicine BEFORE you fought you moron!"

Goku laughed, "Sorry Chi! I forgot about it!"

F Chi's eye twitched and little Chidori giggled, "We're so glad you're okay though dad."

Goku ruffled her hair, making the little girl's tail curl happily.

"I'm all better guys but I don't think I can take on the androids and Cell. We'll have to train first for a while before we even have a chance."

"We?" The Chidori's' looked at each other in surprise when they both asked the same question, "Who?"

"You" their father smiled at them, "We're going to train in a room where one year in there is only a day out here."

Piccolo perked, "The room of spirit and time?! But you couldn't last a day in there when you were a kid!"

Goku shrugged and turned back to his kids, "Well? What do you say? You up for it? I'm going to let Vegeta and Trunks in on it too."

"Well you better go quickly," Piccolo stared off at nothing, just imagining the terror that the Earthlings were going through, "Cell is killing hundreds of people every day and gaining more and more power"

He nodded, "Take my hands girls"

The Chidori's did as they were told, still in shock that their father wanted to train with them. Well. . . F Chi was even more in shock since she had never trained with him before.

Without another word, he teleported into a wasteland behind Trunks.

The boy flinched and stood up but relaxed when he saw who it was, "Goku! You're okay again!"

F Chi slugged his shoulder, "You okay, squirt? Geez I thought after three days, you'd give up. You know Vegeta's too stubborn right?"

"You're telling me. He hasn't spoken one word to me and he just looks at me with disappointment. He hates me"

Goku smiled, "Don't worry Trunks. Vegeta doesn't hate you. Just let me talk to him for a second"

He flashed over behind Vegeta who growled, "Leave. Kakarrot. I'm busy"

"Hey calm down there Vegeta. I know a great place to train if you're interested. A place where you can spend a whole year in a day"

Vegeta turned, a bit shocked, "What?"

Goku nodded, "Just come with me up to Kami's lookout. You don't have to train WITH me or anything but the room is set up for two people so you'll have to go in with Trunks"

Vegeta nodded, "Fine. But we'll go in first. Take me there"

-88888888888888888888888888888888888-

They got to Kami's look out but F Chi stopped Trunks before he could walk with the others, "Are you sure about this? Vegeta can be pretty intense."

Trunks nodded, "I have to show him I'm not a disappointment, Chidori. I HAVE to do this. You understand. Right?"

Chidori nodded slowly, "Just give him all you got and I'm sure he'll respect you. Never back down. Okay?"

Trunks nodded and hugged her, "Thanks Chi"

F Chi hugged his back and ruffled his lavender hair, "Yeah. Now go on kid. Have fun"

She watched him go with a pang of sadness in her heart, 'Vegeta is NOT going to go easy on him. Poor kid. But then again. I never went easy on him either. . . . . .He'll be okay"

-8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888-
