A/N: I'm sorry about the last chapter being so short I hope I can make this one longer I'll try to keep my fingers cross. If you noticed the authors note in the chapter 13 spot was replaced with an actual Chapter *Gasp!*
Chapter 14: Mirai, and who is this woman with him?
As he left the Royal Library for a little bit of research on one of his visions before seeing the King, the father of the one known as Kakarot was heading to one of the mess halls for a snack before going to the garden to meditate. Well that was the plan until he heard someone running toward him "Well there goes my snack"; He turns around upon hearing his "title" being called from one of the king's messengers "Master Druid, Master Druid"[1]. "It's times like this make me think I should have thought more thru on my decision on telling the king about me being able to see the future." The messenger skidded to a halt almost running into said druid panting heavily. One the messenger caught his breath he spoke up "King Vegeta wants to see you in the throne room sir." The Druid nodded and spoke "I'll head that way in a moment but I must ask you. Where did this title of 'Master Druid' come from because King Vegeta calls me by name?" The messenger replies, "The people are calling you that". Druid gave a nod as in thanks and headed to the throne room.
In the throne room, the king was having conversations with a woman with skin pale as the moon, light purple hair in a high ponytail that still reaches her lower back, she has pearl pink eyes, and on her face is a design that looks like a mask because it shines a metallic pink in the light. She wore a transparent coat that flowed with her movement that was a metallic purple with a metallic green dragon design, on her arms there were rises in her skin that went in a pattern down both arms that was a golden metallic resemblance of tribal tattoos. Over that on both arms was violet chain mesh that went halfway up her upper arm, she wore on her hands dark purple fingerless gloves that appeared to be gator skin that had metal studs on the knuckles and top side of her hand the gloves reached half way up her forearms. She wore a sleeveless body suit that acted like a second skin in a color of a midnight blue with three inch heeled boots in the same color as the body suit. On top of her body suit around her torso she wore some armor made from dragon skin that would cover were each muscle is in the front and back and was in a light purple. Standing at (including the heels) 6'2".
Her companion had tan skin and lavender hair pulled back in a low ponytail that also reached his lower back the hair that didn't make it in the ponytail formed his bangs framing his face he had light blue eyes. He wore a midnight blue body suit (similar to the on Bulma made right before the cell games) and wore the same kind of armor that the female wore but in a royal blue, he also wore fingerless gloves in the same color and black boots. Strapped to his back was a sword incased in a dark red sheath.
The Druid walked in and knelt down in respect "Sire you called for me". King Vegeta signaled for him to stand, "Ah yes, Bardock I summoned you because this man here looks like one of the young men you said that should be here with my son." Bardock stood and walked around the young man and said, "You're the one from a different time line aren't you?" the young man looked at his companion she gave him a curt nod as in stating it's okay to reveal himself. He looked back at Bardock and nodded his head confirming that he was.
Then the female placed her hand on his shoulder and said "You can tell your story." He cleared his throat "My name is Trunks Briefs and I'm from a future of earth that was being terrorized by androids. The sayian Goku died of a heart virus that did not have a cure at the time of his death leaving behind the rest of his team and his human earthling wife and his son that is half-human half sayian by the name of Gohan. My father is Prince Vegeta and my mother is Bulma Briefs whom is also a human earthling. Prince Vegeta was killed by these androids along with a Namekian named Piccolo and four other human earthlings that had the ability to control their KI. The only survivor besides me because at that time I was an infant is Gohan after witnessing all the deaths of his friends and fellow warriors he transformed into a super sayian. He fought the two androids in an off and on battle by himself. When I became a teen he started to train me and to help me ascend, he became to me more than a friend but a brother as well as my master. In one of his battles, he had lost his arm. One day while we were training a town near us went up in smoke as I was watching it he knocked me out but when I came to I went looking for him and I found his body they had killed him. In my grief it felt like something inside me snapped and I to transformed to super sayian. I tried to fight the androids but they always had managed to beat me."
Bardock cleared his throat "I'm sorry to interrupt but I remember seeing a couple, my guess it would be these androids in my visions, a female with blond hair and a male with black hair both with cold blue eyes." Trunks answers "Yes those are the ones" King Vegeta interjects, "How is it that they were able to beat a sayian let alone a super sayian." Trunks continued, "That is because the person that created them made them to be stronger than a super sayian." Bardock asks, "Okay then how it that this timeline is different than yours is?" Trunks gave a short chuckle and smirks "That is because I interfered. My mother is a genius when it comes to science and created a time machine she gave me the antidote for Goku's heart virus. Therefore, I went back in time to the point just a few hours before Goku was to land a year after his battle with Frieza on Planet Namek. Anyways even though Goku had had been the one to originally defeat Frieza he let him go with just half a body it is safe to assume that King Cold went out to locate his son and built him a new body all out of mechanical parts. They had managed to land on earth before him and well let us just say Frieza and his father were not expecting to face another super sayian and be killed in a matter of minutes. To cut the story short I warned them that they had three years to train for the upcoming threat after that three years I returned to help in hopes of finding some weakness in order to be able to fight the androids in my time as well as destroy them."
King Vegeta interrupts "Interesting story but I must ask do you know this Goku's Sayian name?" Trunks look down "I'm sorry Grandfather but the name escapes me". He turns looks fully to Bardock and continues, "Goku looks like you your KI signature is similar but still very different. I remember hearing a story from my mom that he was sent to earth but he hit his head." Bardock smirks, "Does Prince Vegeta call him by the name of Kakarot". Trunks eyes lit up, "That's the name Father always called him by." The Druid gives a small smile "I had visions about him growing up and being on Namek before Frieza killed us all in fact in one of those visions he told me that it wasn't too late for me to be different than Frieza. I'm his father." Trunks smiled "That sounds like something he would say". He looked back at King Vegeta "I'm sorry I should have asked if it was okay to call you Grandfather." King Vegeta smirks "I guess I won't mind as long as I have proof that you are in fact my grandson." Trunks lets a small laugh out causing the king to frown returning Trunks to muffle some more laughter before composing himself "I suppose I should apologize it is just that the last time I saw father he acted just like you the smirk and frown are identical, really he looks just like you just without the goatee."
Trunks closed his eyes looked up at the ceiling and concentrated his senses on outer space Bardock looks over at the female and asks "What is he doing?" She replies in a low alto voice, "He's searching for his friends KI signatures. I'm sure you already know that they are on their way, don't you Druid Bardock." King Vegeta proclaims, "It is impossible to sense power levels without a device let alone at vast distances like space." The pale female looks and his majesty and responds in a voice that sounds haunting, "It is quite possible, because a device has limits to how much it can read before crashing as the person that is being read powers up, well that is if they are extremely powerful. For a person to be able to sense power levels and you know who you are looking for you can tell roughly how far they are and how long it will take for them to arrive, that is if you are proficient."
Trunks look back at his companion and states "Actually with Goku one can never be too sure. You see he has this skill that is normally reserved for the Kais themselves, in all technicalities it is a copy of the Kais skill, and his is called Instant Transmission whereas the one reserved for the Kais is called Instantaneous Movement." Bardock asks, "If they are the same in by all means how are they different?" The female replies, "First we should tell you how they are the same. Both moves allow the user to travel great distances by dematerializing from one location and rematerializing at the location you desire in a matter of seconds." Trunks continues, "The difference is with the one Goku uses he needs to locate and lock on a KI signature, the Kai's version doesn't involve much thought because they know every KI signature in existence."
Trunks steals a glance at his female companion she gives a small shrug and nods, he continues "Let's see, there are five high power levels headed this way and will be here in twenty-four hours Earth time." The female puts on a mischievous smirk "Your majesty is there a clearing large enough for a ship to land? How about a multi-demo Trunks and I will spar showing some of our true strength and while doing so in hopes of Goku using the instant transmission and arriving sooner than planned." She turns to Trunks "Whose KI signature shall I copy and make appear stronger?" Trunks returns the smirk how about Cooler, Frieza's older brother, I believe the only ones that faced him were Goku, dad, and Gohan. Here is how we will do it I will stick to normal level super sayian and you will be at the level that Cell was when he was complete, if I remember correctly Goku said that Cells power could be felt all the way from earth to New Namek." Bardock looks at his king and inquires, "What do you think, it sounds quite intriguing". The king gave a curt nod "We will follow you Bardock have your team meet us on the way" Bardock calls on his scouter "Tora, Fasha, Shugesh, and, Borgos meet King Vegeta and I along with our guests outside the castle."
Once outside both groups meet up and start to head to one of the clearings on the way Bardock's team is caught up on who Trunks is but still wondering who the female is, they all land in a clearing covered in battle scars from people training. Upon landing Bardock falls to his knees after a few minutes he gets up the female asks "What did you see Druid Bardock?" he replies "Your people are planning to attack our planet believing you abandoned them and starting to doubt your powers and what you claim to be. In my vision during their attack they release a dark dragon and I saw you transform into your ultimate from, I must admit I thought that it was nothing more than a myth." The pale female resigns to defeat hoping keep that under wraps because, she has always been sought out for her power to be used as a weapon from another's enemies. "Before I tell you who I am let me make one thing absolutely clear I'm no one's weapon to be used against their enemies that is what the people of Reptila thought when I was checking up on them and made me their Sovereign Goddess. I will fight them and make them leave due to the fact that they release a dragon of the most evil kind at least I will have another dragon to help me fight even though he does not know yet and you are not to tell him I will tell him myself. My name is Aulier (all-layer) and I'm the Cosmic Dragon." She flared her aura some and it shown like the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). King Vegeta asks, "Okay, why is it that my grandson travels with you?" Aulier has an expression of sadness, "In his timeline his mother was killed in a robbery of her business, while he was sick with Simian Bitan. That is why your sons and their families are on their way here, I cured him by giving him some of my blood, there was a side effect it turned him full sayian so in his time he was the last remaining sayian. Afterwards he offered his services to me as my Protector and Companion. Even though he still answers to Trunks Briefs, the name I gave him as my Protector and last remaining sayian is Torankusu.**" The Cosmic Dragon asks her protector "What was it that some of the Warriors of Earth called you so not to confuse you with the younger you after you returned to help them fight?" The Protector answers, "They called me 'Mirai'".
A/N: Well defiantly longer than the last chapter. I hope to get the next chapter out soon I'm trying to work a quickly as I can while I still have this window of creativity to work with. I just thought of this but in the story Mirai Trunks is close to Gohan's age, (I know it is over used even in a lot of high school fics were he joins him at orange star)
[1] Druid is the same thing as shaman if you did not know
** Yeah, yeah, I know it is technically the same thing; I needed something to work with.
