Author: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Gohan: What? How is it 2013 already? Like 16 parts ago we were just in 2012!

Kit: Well you gotta admit the year has gone by pretty quickly.

Author: That depends on who you're asking.

Gohan: We better present our part now before there's a riot!

Kit: Right, right, we don't own anyone here, just myself and non-canon Maron.

Chapter 68: Gotta Catch Them All!

A little dark purple fox was seen walking around the lake area and looked up curiously at a fat green short vampire with four eyes, the little fox looked harmless enough so the vampire ignored her. Then a little blue floating cat landed next to the little fox, both animals looking curiously.

"What's with these little creatures? Go on, shoo!" Guldo grumbled trying to get these little animals out.

The fox and the cat didn't seem afraid at all and just kept looking at him as if he was the strangest thing alive… which he probably was to them.

Then a little strange kid walked up to him and smiled sweetly at him, "Hey mister, these are my pets. Baba said I could show them to her fighters." the kid said innocently.

"Yeah well, you showed me kid now get lost." Guldo snapped.

"Hey, that's not very nice!" the kid pouted as his fox and cat huddled together.

"I'm not a nice man kid, now get lost or I'll suck you dry!"

"Fine, maybe I need to make you nicer." the young boy grinned as he suddenly pounced on Guldo.

Before Guldo had time to react, the fox jumped on the kid's back and he felt a strange invading energy trying to rip him out.

"What's going on!?" he screamed in agony as the kid slowly pulled out something glowing as the fox kept pouring out more energy.

Then just like that, the original clone Guldo was pulled out of the vampire's body, reverting the vampire back to its original appearance and also unconscious.

"W-what is the meaning of this!?" clone Guldo panicked as he realized he no longer has a body and is just a spirit now.

The kid grinned as he was covered in purple aura, showing he was not just some kid but the young Saiyan warrior boy Goku, the fox turned out to be Kitsune and the cat is the shape-shifter Puar.

"Well, that was easy." Kit smirked as the clone's spirit started fading away as it cannot hold its form without a body anymore.

"Deception is a specialty since I shape-shift." Puar smiled feeling giddy.

"Well that's one down and three to go, we could get this done way before the day ends." Goku said filled with confidence.

"Somehow I doubt it'll be as easy to trick the other three clones, we better keep on our toes." Kit said carefully.

It had been specifically about four hours since their arrival in the day's past, since then Kit has been practicing merging her ki with Goku's in order to take out the clone's unstable soul's from the bodies they are inhabiting in, the little fox still wondered how it was possible for clones to have souls and inhabit anyone in the first place, but she knew Juice was somehow responsible for all this.

Goku, ever since hearing the advice from Kit, has been trying to use his head more often instead of just throwing the first punch and hope to get lucky, he admitted it would be smarter to analyze an unknown opponent's strength and tactic before he tries anything but defend himself until he can learn the pattern and then devise an effective counter attack, it had worked pretty well in his fight against that masked man, of course the young Saiyan wasn't use to having to plan out his attacks instead of just fighting on pure instinct like he had been since he was taught how to fight, but he knew it was important to keep it in mind and perhaps one day it'll become second nature to him.

Puar floated above them, "Well it look like that went off without a hitch,"

"Yeah, but Guldo was the easiest and weakest of them, not to mention gullible, I have a feeling it won't be so easy with the other three." the little fox grumbled not looking forward to dealing with the three stronger clones.

Goku flexed his hand for a second, "That was kind of odd, the feeling of grabbing something like… a spirit feels almost like cold water yet it's solid enough for me to grab."

"It usually isn't solid, that's why you need the right amount of energy in order to grab it in the first place." Kit said with a small smirk at the kid's perception.

"So that energy… you called it 'ki' right? Is that like my Kamehameha Wave?" Goku asked excitedly.

"Yes, that's exactly what your wave is and there are many ways to manipulate your wave too." Kit smiled feeling as if she was teaching Goku the same way she had been teaching his future son.

Puar was their look-out, the little floating shape-shifting cat was to alert them when she noticed a possessed fighter was nearby and alone, they can't afford to deal with more than one, knowing how dangerous and vulnerable they'll be once they start the extracting process.

To pass time, Goku would constantly ask Kit questions about his fighting techniques so he could better himself the next time he fights.

"But if you're in the heat of battle how do you 'plan ahead'?" Goku asked.

The little fox just laughed and said, "You're really intrigued with using your mind instead of just your heart to battle?" for as long as she knew the young boy even in the future he never had any interest in using his head before, well he does use his head in serious battles yes and he is quite clever when he does, but he never actually constantly use it and rather just fight until someone is defeated.

"Well I've seen how you've influenced Sky with your advice and how you managed to survive all this time when you got into trouble and I'm not there." Goku said and Kit just realized the boy is much smarter than she gave him credit for since he knew, despite believing that 'Sky' was a defenseless boy, had to have gotten in a few scuffles himself and somehow managed to come out alive.

"Well even in the heat of battle you need to learn to stay calm, never let emotions cloud your judgment, you must analyze your enemy as I have said before, defend yourself and let them attack you, endure as much as you can and then, when the opportunity comes, that's when you strike. Make sure the enemy never finds or gets a hold of your weaknesses." Kit said seriously as she looked at the young Saiyan's tail.

Goku looked back at his own tail and sighed, "Master Roshi always did tell me to train my tail so it wouldn't be such a weakness to me and… well I never really bothered to because not a lot of people know that it weakens me whenever they squeeze it…"

The little fox nodded, "But then General White found out and that almost cost you and Eighter's life didn't it?"

Goku nodded as he remembered all too clearly when General White found out his little weakness and he punched the ground in anger of himself, "I should've known that I can't hide my tail's weakness forever, I need to train it before it costs me to lose more than just a battle next time… and what about Sky? He has a tail just like mine."

Kit nodded, "Yes, I agree with you there, Sky needs to train his own tail as well, no matter how strong you are you can't do anything if someone squeezes your tail, we need to get rid of that weakness as soon as possible."

Goku was then deep in thought about something, the little illusion fox noticed, "Is something wrong?"

The young Saiyan said, "Well… it's about the full moon, my grandpa's warnings to me to never look at it and… those times I had a dream about a giant ape monster going on a rampage."

This had the fox a bit worried and she was about to voice her concern when Puar suddenly spoke up, "I see one of them is alone!"

Kit shook her head and decided to talk to Goku about this later, "Which one?"

"Uh… well he has red hair."

"That must be Recome then… he's not too bright, but it would still be best to be careful from here on out, these guys are much stronger than Guldo so taking out their spirits will be much harder." Kit warned them as they both nodded.

The trio time travelers made their way over to Recome's clone, who was wrapped up in the mummy's cloth, but they briefly wondered why he isn't in the sarcophagus since Baba had to revive him from the 'dead' to fight them.

"Okay, so how are we going on about this?" Puar asked the two warriors.

The tricky little fox smirked, "Well he'll be easy to trick since he's not very bright. Goku, think you could do a little Guldo expression?"

Goku blinked, "What?"

Puar shook her head, "I'll do it."

"Alright, pretend you've captured us and say you caught us sneaking around the place as if we were just troublemakers." Kit grinned.

Puar nodded as she transformed into 'Guldo'… though she didn't make a perfect copy since her eyes were dots like her original self and the 'outer eyes' looked more like glass with a black dot in them rather than actual eyes, but other than that she looked kind of like Guldo.

"… We may need to work on your appearance." Kit grumbled when she saw the somewhat pathetic transformation.

But still, it was good enough, so Puar in her 'Guldo' disguise, made her way over to Recome with Goku, under Kit's illusion that he was just a normal little boy, and Kit herself under the illusion she was just some little girl. Puar had to get them in front of her as is she was forcing them to keep going.

Recome noticed them and laughed, "Well, well, well, who do we have here?"

"I found these two troublemakers sneaking around the area, bet they're just a couple of brats looking for some fun or trying to steal what Baba has." Puar said in her best Guldo's voice and it looks like Recome bought it.

"Wow, these troublemakers really remind me of us when we use to sneak into the captain's lounge to steal some chocolate… that didn't go so well." The clone said cringing from the memory that never actually happened to them in particular but to the real Ginyu Force.

Goku then walked up to Recome, "Hey mister, I'm sorry we snuck in here without permission… could you please let us go? We promise we won't do it again and don't tell Baba please." Kit had to give the young Saiyan credit for his acting skills, no wonder Gohan was so good at it.

"Oy, you brats aren't going anywhere, you snuck in here you must pay the consequences." Recome smirked as if he wanted to see them get in trouble.

"Please sir? We didn't mean any harm by it." Kit said trying to get in closer along with Goku to the clone's body.

"You can beg all you want, I'm not changing my mind you brats, now shut up before I blast you."

Goku then tapped his stomach, "Wow mister, you sure are buff."

Then Kit smirked as she put her hand on Goku's back. Recome didn't suspect a thing as he was far too busy gloating.

"Well I am strong, it comes with hard work kid." Recome said smugly as Kit slowly pushed her ki through Goku and they started slowly pulling out the clone's spirit without alerting Recome, but they know they'll have to work fast once he starts to notice something's wrong.

Recome then said, "Maybe you're not so bad after all… huh? Why do I feel funny?"

"Whatever do you mean sir?" Goku asked as innocently as possible as he and Kit were trying to go a little faster but still slow enough that it wouldn't alert the clone… yet.

"I don't know… I just suddenly felt like something was tugging at me…"

Puar quickly spoke up to keep Recome distracted, "Maybe if you hadn't spent all that time eating chocolate and admiring yourself you wouldn't be getting sick or something."

"Maybe, but then again we're just clones, how could we get sick?" Recome wondered.

But then suddenly clones of Jeice and Burter ran around them, it caught Kit off guard and because of this her ki increased and Recome was now in pain as she and Goku pulled too hard too fast!

"Oh crud." Kit cursed as Recome quickly backed away from them before they could pull out the spirit.

"What… what just happened? You… you kids are not normal." Recome growled as he was trying to regain his composure after being shaken up by the sudden pain.

"Hey Recome, what's wrong? These two brats giving you a hard time?" Jeice laughed as he didn't know the potential danger those two 'brats' could put him and his team in.

Kit glared knowing they're going to need to do some damage control fast, there's no way they can take on all three of the remaining Ginyu Force, even if they're just clones they're still just as powerful and as dangerous.

"What's wrong? You just suddenly cried out in pain, did you eat something bad?" Kit quickly asked as innocently as possible as she elbowed Goku to do the same while Puar, still playing as Guldo, was still speechless in shock.

"Recome coming down with a stomachache? That's first, usually his cast iron stomach could take anything." Burter said a bit suspicious about this.

"It wasn't a stomachache, something was literally trying to rip me from the inside-out!" Recome snapped.

Why did these two have to come right when we were about to take out this clone's spirit? We were so close too! Kit irritably thought as she grabbed Goku's arm and slowly backed away, knowing even though Recome wasn't all that smart, it wouldn't take him long to put two-and-two together and find out they were doing something to him.

Goku, catching on, edged away along with the fox in disguise and even Puar was backing away, knowing they have to go back and regroup, but they never have such luck of making it easy.

"Hey, those runts are responsible! I didn't start feeling like that until that runt put his hand on me!" Recome growled as he stood up.

"What, these little human weaklings? Now I know you lost it." Burter laughed.

"No, I know it's true and that's not Guldo!" Recome glared as his scouter indicated 'Guldo' was far too weak.

At that instant, Puar freaked out and lost her transformation, reverting her back into her cat form and she squealed.

"I KNEW IT!"

Kit grabbed Goku and Puar before making a break for it; knowing they are in a lot of danger now.

"And everything was going so well." she grumbled.

"Get back here!" they heard them demand.

"We can't just stay here, they'll catch and kill us!" Puar cried.

"Calm down Puar, we just need to think." the little fox grumbled trying to keep a cool head, she could possibly take on one of them, but all three? That's just suicide at this point.

"Well can't we just fight them?" Goku asked.

"No, they're too powerful Goku, especially when they're together." Kit said quickly.

"Then let's not fight them directly." Goku smirked and that got both the cat and the fox's attention.

"What did you have in mind?" Kit asked already smirking with the young Saiyan.

"You two are really starting to scare me." Puar sweatdropped at the two mischievously grinning time travelers.

"Okay, well I've been thinking; you know how some really bad people are so strong like with that Mercenary Tao guy? Well I think maybe instead of just going in a direct confrontation we could lead them into a trap, one by one."

"That sounds great and all, but how do you propose we do that?" Kit asked though she couldn't help but wonder how this young naïve boy could come up with such a plan.

"We just need to catch them off guard and one by one like we originally planned, we just have to wait for them to cool down first." Goku said.

"Setting up a trap… maybe that would make it easier rather than just trying to trick them, that way they can't fight back until it's too late." Kit nodded in approval.

Puar just shook her head, "I'm not so sure if we could do that, we were already trying to trick them earlier, what makes you think it'll be any different now?"

The fox smiled, "Because we won't be going as just random little kids anymore…"

While Recome was searching for those troublemakers he growled, "When I get my hands on those pests I'll snap their necks!"

"My, aren't you in a bad mood." said a familiar voice that made the clone freeze and turned to the voice.

"C-Captain Ginyu! W-what're you doing here?" indeed, Captain Ginyu himself was standing right before the clone of Recome.

"I'm disappointed Recome; I expected more from my team even if they are just clones. You're all here just to trick some kids into defeating you and then what? Make a clone out of me? I'm insulted." Ginyu said though he still had a smirk on his face as if he knew all along.

"But s-sir you see w-we thought that y-you were g-gone for good and s-so we thought that…" Recome was obviously intimidated and afraid.

Ginyu glared and said, "So you thought you could just replace me with a clone, is that it? You know I'm surprised you even exist, mind telling me how that is possible?"

"I-It was the original Jeice sir! H-he had some scientists work on some blood samples of our original selves and…"

Ginyu frowned, "I see… so it was the work of the one who got away after all…"

"Sir?"

"Never you mind Recome, what I want to know is why would you clones have the audacity to think you could ever clone me?" Ginyu was clearly angry now.

"We just needed to…"

But Ginyu cut him off as he thrust his hand roughly on Recome's gut, "I don't need to hear your pathetic excuse! You clones are not meant to be the Ginyu Force and never will be, good-bye!" before Recome could react Ginyu suddenly pulled out his spirit that was possessing the mummy's body.

"Surprise!" Ginyu said as he suddenly turn into a tiny fox and a young Saiyan boy.

"Y-you tricked me!" Recome all but screamed before his spirit faded away from existence.

"Wow, I didn't know you knew their leader Kit, that was awesome!" Goku smiled excitedly and gave her a high-five.

"Well let's just say this isn't the first time I've seen them. We've still got two more of them to deal with though." Kit said looking at the sky at the clones of Jeice and Burter.

Suddenly Puar came flying in looking very frantic, "Goku! Kit! We're in trouble!"

Both the fox and the Saiyan boy startled and looked at her, "What's wrong?" they both asked.

"The aircraft, the same one Yamcha drove us here, it's already coming!" Puar shouted in panic.

"WHAT!? BUT HOW!?" it couldn't possibly have been a day yet, why were they coming so early?

"I don't know! I just know that they're about to land!" Puar all but screamed.

"Everyone calm down!" Goku shouted hoping to get the two animals to stop screaming and panicking.

Thankfully, they did stop and they looked at the tailed boy who took a deep breath and said, "Whatever went wrong, they're here now and we have to stay calm and work faster, we'll just stay hidden from them, nothing to worry about."

"How can you be so cool headed about this? We're not exactly a team of stealth!" Puar was still in panic mode.

Kit managed to calm down enough to think, "Goku's right; we need to stay calm. I don't know why or how, but they're here now and we can't do anything about it except try to get Jeice and Burter… right now, at the same time."

With that mindset, they quickly dashed around the palace, trying to find them, it was Puar who found them. "Guys! I see them! But they're flying all over the place, we can't keep up!"

"It looks like you need some help." said a familiar voice.

Chapter 69: Restore

The trio time travelers turned to see the Masked Man, the only one who didn't get possessed by a clone.

Kit smiled, "Yeah, maybe you could help us, have you noticed anything strange going on lately?"

"Come to think of it; the other fighters were acting pretty weird. I mean it's not like I came to know them all that well, but still I don't think it's natural."

Goku smiled and he spoke up, "Well that's why we're here! We're trying to figure out how to cure them but we have to be in contact or it won't work!"

"That's awfully brave of you, but they're strong, are you sure you can do that?" Masked Man asked them.

"Please, we have to try, we are on a very tight schedule." Puar said quickly.

Kit pulled back her ears as she could sense Gohan's unmistakable ki coming closer and closer, "We don't have much time left, do you think you could help Masked Man?"

Masked Man nodded, "Sure, what can this chubby kitty face old man can do for you?"

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, those two really like sweets… so here's what we're going to do." Kit smirked as they huddled.

A bit later, Jeice and Burter were playing around, bored out of their minds.

"They're finally here, but they're taking their sweet time getting here!" Jeice complained.

Burter smirked, "Just be a bit more patient, they'll have to come for that last Dragon Ball and then we'll make our move."

"Do you think they'll be suspicious?"

"Maybe, but it'll be too late before they realize we've created the perfect clone Ginyu."

Kit twitched her ears before they put her plan into action and her eyes widen. The Time Portal… the one that sent adult Krillin here, it's going to open again! I have to stop it… I know Gohan could use a familiar face and all, but we really don't need any more future people coming back here into the past and messing up Time even more.

"What's wrong Kit?" Goku asked when he noticed the worry on the fox's face.

The little vulpine turned back to them, "There's something I have to take care of."

"What!? What about the plan? Only you and Goku can make it work!" Puar nearly yelled in panic.

"Relax, we can still catch them by surprise, but this is important, just wait here and I'll be right back. Keep an eye on them." Kit said quickly as she hurried over to the entrance.

I have to becareful, I don't want them to see me. Kit slowed down when she got close, she saw the rich people from earlier paying Baba their money.

"Now could you please find our dear daughter's ring?"

"Certainly." Baba said as she began working her magic on the crystal ball. Kit just rolled her eyes as she continued towards the door, the people ignoring her thinking she's just one of Baba's pets.

The little vulpine stopped when she saw the muscle guys and behind them a very familiar group and she gulped. "This could be harder than I thought…"

As the little vulpine slowly stepped out of the shadows, trying to get nearer to the group without alerting them and use the Temporal Mecha to stop the Time Portal from opening, but as she came out she noticed something was off: Puar, Goku and herself were not there with them.

"Don't worry guys, I'm sure Goku, Kit and Puar will show up." she heard kid Krillin said.

"But that's just odd; Puar never leaves my side for long, it's like she, Goku and Kit just vanished into thin air… maybe Baba could tell us what happened to them and then ask her where that last Dragon Ball is." Yamcha said worried for his little shape-shifting cat partner.

Gohan didn't say anything, rather he looked down in worry, but Kit knew he was worried for her, his chibi dad and Puar. That's odd… when we came back a day in time our past selves disappeared? There's no… paradox? What's going on here!? Kit shook her head, never having a paradox problem before.

The little illusion fox decided to figure that out later because she could hear the Time Portal about to open up, with quick reflexes she grabbed the Temporal Mecha with her mouth, jumped over swiftly and threw it right as the Time Portal began to form and as soon as the mecha hit it there was a flash of light and they both vanished.

Kit smiled until she heard a collected gasp, reminding her she is not alone and she gritted her teeth. What is wrong with me!? I'm getting too sloppy!

"K-Kit is that you?" she heard Gohan's voice ask in concern and relief.

The nervous little vulpine slowly turned and gave a very nervous grin to the familiar group, "Uh… hi?"

And just like that the little vulpine was bombarded with questions: "Where were you?" "What happened to you?" "Where are Puar and Goku?" "How could you just disappear like that?"

But Gohan raced up to the little fox, picked her up and hugged her, "I was worried something bad happened to you Kit."

Kit froze for a second before she gave the Saiyan hybrid a smile, "I'm fine Sky, but what exactly happened to us?" she needed to know what happened to their past selves, maybe something happened to them when they came here.

"We're not really sure, you, Goku and Puar just vanished, as in into thin air!" Upa answered as he waved his arms.

"We thought we just imagined it and figured Goku called the Nimbus or something and took you and Puar with him, but the more we thought about it the less sense it made; like why would Goku only take Kit and Puar with him and why would he leave without telling us?" Yamcha explained.

Okay, so obviously our past selves vanished when we came… but why? What does it mean? Wait… the Temporal Mecha that supposed to have kept us tethered to this timeline is gone… I mean it brought us here so it has to keep us here, but it's gone yet we're still here. Does that mean… what happened in the near future from now is erased?

"You okay Kit?" Gohan asked when she didn't answer them.

"Hm? Uh yeah it's just a lot of confusing things are happening and… y-you know what? Why don't you guys just wait until it's your turn to go into Baba's palace… I'll go get Goku and Puar." Kit said quickly and evasively as she jumped out of the half Saiyan's arms and zipped back into the palace before anyone could protest.

"Oh crap, things just got a lot more complicated! As if it wasn't complicated before… Goku! Puar! Where are you two!?" Kit shouted feeling anxiety catching up with her.

"What's wrong now?" Goku asked when he heard the vulpine's anxious voice and already knew something was wrong… again.

Kit was thankful she found them so quickly and they were… trying to hang on the ceiling for some reason, and said, "I think this is our own timeline again! The future we came from? It's gone! It doesn't exist anymore, it's been erased like completely from history!"

"WHAT!?" both Goku and Puar shouted in disbelief and shock as they both fell on their faces.

"How can that be?" Puar cried.

"I'm not really sure… maybe it has something to do with that weird vortex we went through…"

"So… all those battles you, Krillin and Sky fought were for nothing?" Goku asked disappointed about their erased progress.

"No, not exactly, through those fights we learned about those clones possessing those fighter's bodies. If we could just flush the last two out then the fighters won't be such a threat and I'm sure we can win Baba's little challenge for sure!" Kit said mostly hoping for reassurance, then she remembered something, "Uh… uh were you and Puar hanging on the ceiling?"

Puar pointed just around the corner and there was Jeice and Burter talking about some stupid soap opera. "We were hoping to catch them off guard."

"And you were going to ambush them from the ceiling?" Kit failed to see how effective that could be.

"Yeah, so we could just body slam them into the ground before they knew what hit them." Goku said with a fist pump in the air.

Kit shook her head, "They're a lot faster and stronger than you'd think Goku, I don't think catching them off guard like that would work out so well in your favor."

"Then what do you suggest?" Goku asked a bit disappointed the fox rejected their idea.

"Well…" unfortunately before she could finish, her eyes went wide in horror as she saw Jeice and Burter had seen them and were now approaching them, "We are in deep hot water." She finished weakly.

"What makes you say that?" Goku asked clueless until he and Puar turned around and gasped when they discovered they have been noticed; no disguises and the two clones were smirking evilly at them.

"Well, well, well, look at what we have here Burter; a couple of rodents and a low class Saiyan brat." Jeice sneered, not caring that a fox and a cat are not part of the rodent family.

"What happened to Recome and Guldo?" Burter growled knowing these three had something to do with their disappearance.

Kit hissed as she, Puar and Goku backed away, Goku was in fighting stance but knew better than to just charge on at them, even though he couldn't sense ki yet he could feel they were powerful and even he may not be able to defeat them.

"I guess we'll have to go with Plan B." Kit said.

"Wh-what's P-Plan B?" Puar asked shaking, since she's not a fighter she's a liability, or so she thinks about herself.

"We fight for survival until a miracle happens." the fox grimly said.

"WHAT KIND OF PLAN IS THAT!? WE'LL DIE!" Puar screamed.

"Well… it worked before…" Kit nervously grinned as she recalled that time with Penguin Village as the Stadium and they were almost toast when Maron found them and was about to finish them off when Goku, surprisingly enough, saved them without realizing it.

"Here they come!" Goku shouted that snapped the fox back to reality.

Without thinking about it; Kit grabbed Puar's tail with her mouth and she and Goku jumped to get out of the clone's charging path.

"These bodies are slowing us down Burter!" Jeice complained.

"Not my fault we can't leave these pathetic bodies without killing ourselves Jeice!" Burter snapped back.

This had the little vulpine's mind gearing. They can't fight to their full potential in those bodies and they can't leave or they'd fade away… that would explain why they weren't so hard to beat during Baba's challenge… er… they will not be hard when we take them on… time travel can make everything so confusing. Well anyway, this gives me an idea!

"Goku, Puar, I think it's time we rip away their soulless souls from their stolen bodies that hard way." Kit smirked as she begins extending her sharp claws as if getting ready for a slaughter.

Goku smiled, "Now we're talking!"

"B-but aren't they too strong?" the shape-shifting cat was still understandably skeptical.

"Maybe so, but we're not going down without a fight and we need to rip out their spirits before they can mess anything else up!" Kit growled.

"Allow me to be of some help children." Masked Man said as he approached them from nowhere.

"You want to help us? That's great!" Goku cheered knowing this weird man was strong having fought with him, though briefly, just before this whole time travel thing happened.

"Yeah, that is." Kit smiled as a fond memory made its way into her head.

I was hiding in the shadows, but I can see and hear clearly, there I see young Goku talking with his adoptive grandfather.

"I want to learn to fight, but doesn't fighting hurt people? How can it be right?" the naïve little Saiyan asked as if he was asking how could a criminal be a good person.

Grandpa Gohan just chuckled and said, "It's true fighting does hurt people, but it also helps them."

"What do you mean?"

"Fighting is supposed to be for self defense Goku, like if some bad person decides to hurt you, you can defend yourself from him or her and keep them from hurting you. On a greater scale; you can also fight to defend those who can't."

Goku smiled, "Wow, I didn't think about it like that."

"There are a lot of things that don't appear the same even if they look identical. It's important to never look at the world black and white, always keep an open minded; not everyone is good but not everyone is bad either, try to figure out who is the man and who is the monster."

"Hey Kit, are you ready?" Goku waved in front of the daydreaming fox and she blinked her blue eyes for a few seconds before returning to reality.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Kit smiled as Puar nervously latched onto her back.

"Masked Man said if we combine our shape-shifting powers we could physically become the thing we turn into with increased power, I'm not sure how that will work but it's worth a shot." Puar answered when the fox gave her a questioning look.

"Right, this'll be fun." Kit smirked.

The time traveling Gohan stopped when he saw Kit, Goku, Puar and the Masked Man, they looked as though they were getting ready to fight.

"I knew I sensed them here, but… what are they doing?" Gohan's eyes widen when he saw the clones of Jeice and Burter, "The… Ginyu Force?"

Kit's right ear twitched when she heard a whisper and curiously looked back, but her blue eyes went wide when she saw the Saiyan hybrid right behind them.

Author: Yeah, the young Gohan wants to know what's going on now.

Gohan: Yes I do, what just happened?

Kit: So we're part of this timeline now?

Author: Confusing isn't it? Well that will be explained later and I'm sorry about leaving a cliffhanger here, but I just couldn't resist.

Gohan: You're always confusing...
