Hello everyone, this is Uppaw18 with another chapter of Changed Path. Now, the reasons it took so long are the following:

A) I didn't really want to continue writing for a while. This is how it is after every chapter, so that's nothing new for me.

B) I was spending most of the time that I was writing to finish the 100 reviews special. By the time this chapter is released, it will be finished, and I will publish it one day after this chapter has been officially published.

C) I'm lazy as all kinds of hell.

Now before I begin, I want to celebrate the ending of Dragon Ball Super. I couldn't stand it, but I can respect the fact that it made people cry and raised the popularity of the Dragon Ball Franchise, despite the fact that it should have stayed fucking dead, or stop at the Battle of Gods movie. Super Saiyan Blue was pretty but unnecessary and Golden Freeza was pretty but came from excuses that were fucking stupid and beyond contrived in my humble opinion.

I can stand it sometimes, with the manga being closer to Z than the anime (then again, Z was pretty fucking bad as well in some cases), but I have only started to release my anger towards that show so I'll stop here.

Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 37: Grim Tales From the Future

Artificial Humans Saga Prologue: Revenge of the Family- Part 6

[Cue #1: Opening- Rock the Dragon]

[Cue #2: Ending- Haruka Kanata]

Darkness turned slowly to light as he opened his eyes, everything in front of his sight was blinding because of the light, that he didn't see anything but white. Then the lights died down after several seconds, but everything was blurry to him, but he saw a bit of blurry blue and closer to his face were two blurry figures.

"-han! Gohan!" he heard as he rubbed his eyes and his sight became clear. Standing above him were the lavender haired scientist and the formerly obese samurai, both of them where his companions on the journey to planet Namek over a year ago.

"Huh? What happened?" the son of Earth's prime defender asked as he rubbed his body, feeling as if he had been hit in his arms. His memory was kind of fuzzy at the moment as he just woke up, but at the minimum he remembered that the gang was defending the planet from Freeza's family.

Yajirobe crossed his hands. "Well, some emo teen with a sword brought you to use along with Krillin, and your body was really broken up." the long black-haired warrior said with a nonchalant voice, not really being tactful in his tone. However when he mentioned Gohan's injured body, the boy then remembered being hit so hard that he felt so much pain that he lost contiousness.

He started to look at himself to see if there were any injuries, but he didn't see anything, as if Cooler had never punched him. "Did I eat senzu bean?" the half-Saiyan son of the hero of Earth asked his friends as he looked a bit perplexed and his body shook with the memory in his mind of the powerful punch.

The heir to Capsule Corp. nodded with a smile on her face. "Yeah, it took a while. At first we gave you and Krillin half a bean, bu while he woke up and completely healed, you didn't react and still looked a bit mangled, so a forced another bean into your mouth, and here you are." the genius gave a short explanation with a slightly cheerful tone to her voice as she held the coal-black haired daughter of Krillin.

The kid then got up and looked around him. "Where is Krillin anyway?" he asked as he looked at the lavender haired woman with a wondering tone to his voice. Then he looked at his father's best friend. "And while are you holding Marron?" he asked her as he pointed at the sleeping baby.

Bulma sighed with annoyance. She growled as she sighed as well. "To shorten the explanation, Krillin Saiyan "girlfriend" pushed her daughter right into my hands so she could fight! I mean what the hell?! That is totally irresponsible! What kind of person would do that?!" she ranted and screamed with anger, accidently causing the little half-Saiyan to wake up and start screaming.

"Oh no. Don't worry little girl, I didn't mean to wake you up." the scientist started to gently cradle the baby in her arms, moving her slowly from side to side.

The man and the young boy sighed. "Anyway, Krillin took a bean and is now around trying to find the Saiyan." the human samurai explained nonchalantly to the boy.

The long haired kid decided to search around for ki signatures, to see if Mister Piccolo was still well. He was concern for his mentor, since the last time he saw the Namekian, the brother of Freeza was using telekinesis to force the green warrior's body into the ground.

As he scanned his surroundings, he felt several big power levels in the direction of the area where they fought the family of the tyrant, with the biggest power level a bit further than that. What concerned the boy that he didn't recognised the ki signature, causing him to instinctively clench his hands into fists and gritt his teeth.

Suddenly a very familiar ki signature hit his senses, one too familiar to his mind, one that he didn't feel in almost two years. He felt the ki signature of his father. This caused his hands to fall numb at his sides as shock froze his face and he walked towards the edge of the hill he was on.

He stopped at the edge, his body shaking with excitment and his mouth barely moving as he mumbled sounds that were barely audioable. After a whole minute of standing still, he then managed to get his thoughts together.

His gaze shifted to the human warrior who stood next to Bulma. "Yajirobe, give me the bag with the senzu beans please. I'll go and heal the others." he said as he extended his arm at the samurai's direction. Yajirobe just sighed and threw the brown bag to the boy, who caught it with his extended arm. As he caught it, the half-breed's white-blue aura blazed to life as he flew away towards the rest of the group, a wide smile of joy on his face.

[Cue #1: Opening- Rock the Dragon]

The lavender haired young man landed on the ground, with a hill over his head. He walked and sat down on a large rock, looking up at the top of the hill. He took several deep breath as he took a capsule out of the pocket of his blue jacket.

He stared at the capsule for a while before puting it back in the pocket of the long-sleeved jacked that he wore. He sighed. "Okay Trunks, keep a cool head and stay mysterious. I just need to warn Goku about the cyborgs and give him the medicine. No need to panic or worry." he said to himself aloud as he tried to keep himself calm.

A smile then rose to his face. "I finally got to see master Gohan as a kid. He's so small, yet stronger than I was when I first transformed. He's always so amazing." he kept on talking, tears of joy started to roll down his face.

He then wiped away the tears as he tried to compose himself once more. 'Okay Trunks, stop talking aloud and just prepare.' he thought to himself as he once more doing intemissions of inhaling and exhaling.

Back on the destroyed mountain area around the group, Piccolo fell on his knees, using his energy to heal his wounds. He panted heavily as the wound on his back slowly closed. The burns were harsh and were taking their time to heal. 'I used to much energy on things like the Multi-Clone technique and the Makankosappo. I'm running low on energy and most importantly, I need to find Gohan. I can't trust that stranger's word when it comes to Gohan's safety.' the warrior clan Namekian thought to himself as his body poured sweat, soaking his frame entirely, trying to cool off the body.

"Well, that's part of my personality affecting you. I mostly don't trust strangers." the former defender of the namekian elder said inside the head of Piccolo, trying to explain his mistrust of the stranger who just arrived.

Vegeta glared daggers at his rival while trying to push himself up, only to lose the feelings in his arm, casuing him to fail, being smacked chin first into the ground. He growled as he winced from the pain.

"Come on best buddy, you can do it!" the hero of Earth cheered him on as he tried to propel the royal Saiyan to succeed in getting off the ground, but the flame haired warrior kept lying there, growling with frustration.

Raditz, completely empty of energy to even move, with just enough to barely stay away, sighed in defeat. "Don't waste your breath Kakarot, you'll just piss him off even further. Just focus about finding Gohan." he said to his younger brother while lying on his chest and his head was down.

The palm haired warrior just put his arms on his waist. "How don't worry about Gohan, I already felt his ki. In fact, he's already on his way." he said with a proud smile on his face. "More importantly Raditz, you became a Super Saiyan and I've gotta tell ya, that attack of yours was incredible." he complimented his older brother, who just chuckled as a retort while closing his eyes.

"I think you were pretty close to my level, which is amazing, since all this time I trained to have enough control to transform in and out of the form. However, that mystery fellow was much stronger than both of us. I can't wait to talk to him!" the prime defender of Earth squeeled with a jolly tone as he unknowingly downgraded his brother's achievement while also still praising him.

"Bullshit! There's no way that that bastard is a Super Saiyan! No way!" the prince of all Saiyans exclamied furiously as he snarled angrily, once more trying to push himself up with his hands, only to fail once more due to the pain.

The red-spandex wearing Saiyan woke up once again during the conversation, managing to get out of the ruble he was trapped under and lean his back against it, while the scarred human on the round also woke up, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Goku?" Yamcha asked as he looked at the palm-haired son of Bardock with a preplexed and utterly confused expression on his face, while the former worker of Vegeta panted heavily, his entire face purple and swollen from the beating he had taken.

The short-spiky black haired Saiyan looked at the former bandit with an expression of exhaustion. "Yes, this is Kakarot, he's here and I don't know how. Can I please have some silence so that can rest?" he asked with a slight deadpan tone as he panted heavily, closing his eyes.

This remark made the flame haired prince chuckle. "What's wrong weakling? Getting beat up by the small fry took to much energy out of you? Pathetic." the shorter Saiyan mocked the middle-class Saiyan as he laughed out loud using the insulting tone to his voice that he could think of.

Bryco just kept his eyes closed as he smirked and started to chuckle. "And what about you Princess? Getting this beat up from taking an attack from your low class ally is not pathetic?" he asked mockingly, pushing the buttons he knew would piss off the prince, despite knowing how much stronger than them Raditz really is now.

However, that comment was enough to get under Vegeta's skin and burn his already short-fuse. He growled and snarled at his supposed "ally". "What did you say?! How about I'll kick your ass?!" he threatened the talled Saiyan, who lost contiousness once more.

The green warrior snorted as he listened to the conversation, still trying to heal his injuries.

"G-G-Goku?" the group heard a voice, turning their heads around, only to see the tri-clops slowly floating towards them. His body had many cuts that drew blood, causing his entire upper body to appear red and purple with injuries and blood. The area where his right side of his ribcage seemed extremely blue-purple in color and also dented. He had a cut over his forehead, causing blood to flow all over his face. As he was reached the group as he slowly floated in the air, he lost contiousness as well and fell to the ground.

Goku just blinked several times as he then walked to the uncontious human and sent some ki into him, giving him energy. "You all really took a beating huh? I wish I would have come earlier." he said with a concerned tone to his cheerful voice, but he straighten himself up.

As the hero of Earth stood straight again, a white trail appeared in the sky from the North, coming down closer and closer to the group. The ki that everyone sensed was definately that of Goku's son, whom appeared to receive a pretty good Zenkai boost from being nearly killed for the whoever knows how many times. The white trail of ki crashed into the ground right in front of Bardock's youngest with a loud "BRISSHHH!" sound as the ground beneath cracked.

As the aura dispersed, the 7-years old hald-Saiyan jumped so fast that he tackled his father, hugging him as hard as he could. "DAD! I missed you so much! I can't believe you're back!" he cried tears of joy that rolled down his cheeks as he hugged his father.

The naive Saiyan laughed as his fell on the ground while holding his son. "I missed you too son." he said before getting up and holding his long haired son slightly further than him. "You became really strong Gohan. That's really cool. You're almost as strong as I was on Namek!" he exclaimed with pride and excitement, showing a little child's joy as he sensed his son's energy.

"Anyways," the palm haired fighter said with a smile as he took the bag from Gohan's belt and opening it, taking several senzu beans. "eat up guys." he said as he threw the beans at the others, each one landing on the ground slightly away from the downed warriors, with only Piccolo managing to catch the bean.

He put it in his mouth and in an instant all the blood he had lost was recovered and made anew in his veins. His burn injuries on his back and whatever other injuries that he suffered during the fight with Cooler and his minions had disappeared completely as if they never happened, and most importantly, his energy and stamina recovered to their maximum. He stood up, put his hand on his neck and tilted it, making an audioable "KNACK!" sound.

The Saiyan prince looked at his the naive fighter who kept a cheerful smile. "Hey idiot, most of us can't move! Did you consider that?!" he shouted with an angry voice at the martial artist, only to see his bean being picked up by the green alien. Vegeta looked at him and snorted. "Something on your mind, namekian?" he asked with a condescending voice, his arrogance oozing from his injured frame.

Piccolo squinted as he glared daggers at the royal fighter, only to use his right hand to pick the Saiyan up by the hair, making the prince snarl. As he managed to lift the shorter fighter to face height, he looked into the jet black eyes of the man before shoving the green magical bean into his mouth by force, dropping the injured man to the ground.

Vegeta chewed on the senzu and felt all his injuries that he got in the battle disappearing, as he felt refreshed and fully healed. He then stood up as he felt power surge within his body and released it out of his body in the form of his white-blue aura, sending his power to a new high. "YES! This feels incredible! Now there is no way that I cannot transform with this amount of power!" he celebrate his power boost with glee as he roared his intentions to the sky.

The Saiyan raised on Earth then spoke up after his flame haired "ally" declared his transformation, while also putting the senzu bean in the mouth of his brother, who chewed on it slowly before swallowing it. "Well Vegeta, turning into a Super Saiyan doesn't come from a desire, it comes from a need. I needed it to kick Freeza's butt on Namek." he explained to the royal fighter while on the sidelines Yamcha was eating his senzu.

Vegeta's body shook as he snarled with annoyance and his aura disperesed. "The fuck does that mean?!" he asked in a demanding tone as he raised his fist at the cheerful Son Goku, who just sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck and laughed.

Raditz swallowed the bean and immediately felt completely rejuvinated. All the wounds he had closed with his ki disappeared from his skin, not leaving any scars. Whatever damaged was caused from the knife stab he got that caused him to limp was repaired, and all his energy recovered, stronger than ever before.

While Piccolo was feeding the uncontious Saiyan a bean that landed next to the rubble he was leaning on, Yamcha was giving one to Tien to heal the serious injuries he had suffered from. All the while Goku looked around the field, not finding his best friend. "Where's Krillin? Is he okay?" he asked, causing everyone else to start looking around, not seeing the human anywhere.

Gohan then remembered what he was told. "Krillin's fine dad, he already got a senzu. He's just looking for Archako." the young boy said to his father, causing everyone but Vegeta and Piccolo to sigh with relief.

Goku though looked confused. "Who's that?" he asked the young boy, since that was the first time that he heard this new name.

Raditz sighed as he looked at his brother. "While we were on our way to Namek, two Saiyans from a colony we never heard about somehow arrived on Earth. Krillin fought them both alone and the female Saiyan of the pair, Named Archako, joined our group." the maned Saiyan described the shorten story the former monk told him about the events that caused the coal haired female Saiyan to join the defenders of Earth.

The eyes of the naive, palm haired fighter became wide with shock and his jaw dropped. "Wait, there are Saiyan women as well?!" he asked with a suprised tone, causing almost everyone to facepalm themselves with irritation.

Raditz on the other hand was pissed. "Of course there are! Did you forget all the stories I told you about our mother on our trip to Namek?! Is your memory so goddamn awfull brother!?" he asked with a roaring fire in his voice as he pushed his forehead against his younger brother's, pocking his finger at his chest.

After the burly warrior took a step back and breathed angrily, the naive man put his hand on his chin and looked up, thinking. His face then lit up as he seemed to remember. "Oh yeah... Sorry." he said as he chuckled and sheepishly rubbed the back of his head while Bardock's eldest facepalmed himself and shook his head with an annoyed groan.

Piccolo's eyes looked north for a second before he closed them. "Hmph, speaking of the devil." he said as everyone looked up, seeing two white-blue trails flying next to a yellow plane that had the Capsule Corp logo on it.

First to land was Krillin, who ran ahead to see his best friend once more. "Oh my Kami! I can't believe your back Goku!" he shouted happily as he looked at his friend and former rival with a delighted expression on his face.

The second to land was the coal-black woman, holding her daughter in her arms, cradling her gently wih a smile on her face. "You must be Kakarot right? Or is it Son Goku? I mean, it's really hard to remember when there are two groups using a different name for you." she said as she extended her arm. "I'm Archako, and let me say, you look a look more bulkier than Krilli-Billy said." she said as she gave him a wink, making Raditz and Bryco groan as they rolled their eyes. Goku gave her a friendly smile as he shook her hand.

Krillin on the other hand gave her a nasty glare, staring daggers at the mother of his child. "Are you kidding me?!" he said with anger in his voice, his tone clearly venomous. He also clenched his hands into fists. "Your flirting with my best friend while standing right next to me and holding our daughter?! What is wrong with you?!" he asked her as he screamed at her face.

The female Saiyan shrugged. "Don't see anything wrong with it, so don't scream at me Krilli-Billy. Please." she said while also slightly pleading at the end, trying to show some level of dominance, but stil trying to stay on her boyfriend's good side.

The plane then landed on the ground in front of the hero of Earth. The hatch of the plane opened up and Bulma ran and hugged her friend. She couldn't believe he was back to save them all once again. She let go of him and wiped a tear from her left eyes.

The palm haired Z-Fighter raised his hand and waved at the lavender haired woman. "Heya Bulma, how's it hanging?" he asked while giving his delightful Son grin and chuckling. The woman just chuckled and gave him a thumbs up.

Piccolo then cleared his throat and walked towards his former arch-nemesis. "Now that everyone's said their hellos, I want to hear something from you." he said as he gave Goku a stern, cold glare filled with seriousness. "How did you get here? You said you teleported?" he asked with a threatening yet intrigued tone to his gruff voice.

The Saiyan smiled as he remembered saying that. "Oh yeah... here, watch this, you guy. It's so cool." he said as he put the index and middle fingers of his left hand on his forehead. The group looked at him carefully, and then an instant later, with a slicing "ZIP" sound, he wasn't there anymore, as if he fazed out of existense in an instant. A second later a second "ZIP" sound was heard and Goku was standing were he stood before, only wearing Master Roshi's dark sunglasses.

Everyone, even Vegeta and Piccolo, looked in shock and awe at the feat the strongest Saiyan had just pulled off. They didn't even see him move, only that there was nothing in an instant and in another instant he appeared out of nothing. "WHA!" everyone shouted in suprise as Bulma fell back.

The naive warrior raised of Earth smiled and chuckled with a tiny bit of smug in his voice, something that would appear in every Saiyan. "This is called Instant Transmission. It allows me teleport to any location I can find a ki signature that is clear enough in my senses." he said as he removed the glasses and held them in his hand. "I learned that technique on the planet that I was staying on, which is called Yardrat. I reached it by using one of the pods of Freeza's soldiers." he explained to what the new technique was and its origins, the rest listening carefully, clinging to every word.

Bulma quickly got up. "Then why didn't you use it to come here immediately when Freeza's family arrived?" asked as she cleaned dust from her skirt.

The Namekian agreed with her. "That's a very good point. Why didn't you? You know Gohan almost died again? You could have helped much earlier!" he asked the Saiyan father of his student, clearly angry over the fact that he thought that the kid died while fighting Cooler.

The naive warrior then scratched his chin as he smiled sheepishly. "Well, I was sorta, kinda asleep." he said as he kept scratching his chin while keeping his sheepish smile.

Snarling angrily, the green skinned alien grabbed the man by his white neck collar. "You were ASLEEP?! Your son almost died! Again!" Piccolo shouted as he glared daggers at the youngest son of Bardock and screamed unholy hell at him.

The Earth raised Saiyan started to wave his arms. "Its not like that Piccolo, I sweat! I was asleep because it was nightime on Yardrat. When King Kai woke me up and explained the situation, I dressed up as fast as I could. By the time I used Instant Transmission, Raditz was already fending off that gigantic ball that was heading towards the planet. That the truth, I swear!" the jet-black haired fighter explained why he arrived so late. The green man snorted as he let go of the Saiyan's collar.

Goku then looked up at the hill the stranger than before talked about. "Anyway, I'm gonna talk to the stranger over that hill there. You guys can watch from the top." he said as he rose to the sky, his blue-white aura surrounding him as he flew over the hill.

The large ki signature of the palm haired warrior reached Trunks' ki sense. 'Finally, I thought he would never come.' he thought to himself as he got up and took a wide jump to the center of the area, so he would be far enough from the hill, just in case the rest would try to eavesdrop to the conversation from that hill.

He saw the white trail heading his way. He stood straight and firm while putting a serious expression, just so he could look the cool and mysterious type. He didn't want to reveal to much information and he thought a cold exterior would be good enough. After all, it effective when master Gohan did it.

Just before reaching the ground, the white flame of white-blue stopped and disperesed, allowing Goku to slowly and gently land on the ground with elegance. As his feet touched the ground, a small "tap" sound was heard. This made the lavender haired teen to smirk. 'So this is where Gohan learned to make cool landings.' he thought to himself before he forcefully returned his smile to a serious scowl.

Son Goku started to stretch a bit as he looked at the young man with the sword. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" the palm haired warrior asked as he looked with an interested expression at the strong fighter in front of him, who apparently could transform into a Super Saiyan.

Trunks looked up at the hill and saw at the top that the rest of the group of Z-Fighters are gathering, looking down at the two from the top. 'Okay, I need to look like I mean business. This information is too important to be revealed just to anyone.' he thought to himself as he grabbed the brown hilt of his sword, sheathing it and pointing the sharp edge of the blade towards the man's throat.

"Two questions. First, when I talk to you, I assume that you are Son Goku, like I assumed before, correct?" he asked with a stone cold serious tone to his voice as the man in front of him stood firm and not afraid at all. The jet-black haired defender of Earth nodded. "Good. Second," he said as he looked at the group at the top of the hill. "Can they hear me?" his tone became colder and more serious than before, but the full-blooded Saiyan in front of him stood firm and just nodded.

Exhaling in relief, the lavender haired half-breed sheathe his sword and smiled. "Then hello there Son Goku, my name is Trunks, and sorry for being so suspicious." he said as he relaxed his body, still hoping the man didn't get a bad first impression.

Goku smiled back at him and waved his hand. "Don't sweat it. Nice to meet you too Trunks." he said with a jolly voice as he extended his hand, which the teenager did.

"Now listen Goku, the information I have is very important, so I don't want you telling your fiends more than nessesary." The mysterious Trunks said as his face turned serious once more.

Bardock's yougest looked at him with an intrigued look on his face. "What is it?" he asked as he focused his sight on the younger man. He knew that anyone who can hide that much power should not be triffled with.

The lavender haired young man took a deep breath. "Three years from now, on May 12, Age 767 on 10AM, nine miles out of South City, two cybernetic organisms will appear, destroying the entire city and killing all the Z-Fighters with the exceptions of Gohan." he said with an ominous tone to his voice, shocking the defender of Earth as he heard that his friends would die.

"Those cyborgs are so powerful that they could beat down Super Saiyans with ease. Not too long ago I fought against them at full power, but they merely toyed with me and defeated me like I was nothing to them. Even Gohan had to train 17 years to be an actual threat to them as a Super Saiyan, and even then he used some special ways to train himself." the young man kept explaining what the threat the future had in store. Goku still looked shocked, but now a bit of excitement started to stir up inside of him.

"The cyborgs destroyed the world, wiping out a large part of humanity. Those of your group that survived were my mom, Gohan and some others, including Master Roshi, who lost an eye and a leg in one of the attacks. Eventually Gohan started to train me and several kids that he had in my timeline, including my niece." he said as he thought about his family and friend in the future. "But eventually even he fell to the androids." he explained, causing a sense of anger to rise in the Earth raised Saiyan when he heard that even his son eventually would die.

Then Goku's face lighted up as he seemed to think of something. "Wait, what about me? Do those androids kill me too?" he asked he young man, wanting to know about his future in the battle.

Trunks shook his head. He then took out the capsule from the pocket of his jacket. "No, you don't even make it to the fight." he said, causing the hero of Earth to lower his head, devestated to this. "You died from a heart virus six months earlier, one that you got from Yardrat. That planet had some effect on your Saiyan biology that caused the virus. But in my hand I'm holding the cure to it. My mother made it, and she also built the machine that allowed me to travel in time." he said as he give a warm smile, one he remembered his master gave him a lot of the time.

The prime defender of the planet took the medicine and held it in his hand along with Master Roshi's sunglasses. "Thanks, so now I won't die to a stupid heart virus, right?" he asked the young man, Who only nodded.

"Yes, if you take it of course." he said as he smiled.

The full-blooded Saiyan looked at it with suspision. "Your mother sounds really smart." he said to the young man, who felt a bit nervous and beads of sweat started to form on his brow. "Is she Bulma by any chance?" he asked with a proud smirk on his face.

The son of Bulma lowered his head and cursed "Dammit." quietly under his breath.

Goku gave him a bright, wide smile that made the young Super Saiyan from the future to look at him with an inspired awe. "Don't feel bad. I may not be smart, but the purple hair, the blue eyes, inventing a nedicine to a virus and a time machine, all of that matches Bulma to a T. I mean, it's not like Vegeta is your dad or something." he said with a jolly and cheerful tone, but then the young man lowered his head and blushed.

"Actually, Vegeta is my dad." he said with an embarrassed tone as his face was completely red.

The palm haired warrior was in utter state of shock. "Oh my Kami." he said as his eyes went wide and his jaw dropped.

At the top of the hill,

Piccolo was using his Namekian hearing to eavesdrop to the entire conversation, and he had heard everything. Throughout the entire concersation he growled and snarled with anger. Just to hear that everyone, including him, will die to a bunch of tin cans pissed him off.

However, the last bit took him by suprise, but the shock didn't last long and he just went on a spree of laughter, laughing his ass off from the fact that two people as proud and short tempered as Bulma and Vegeta would have a baby together was pure comedic gold.

However everyone noticed him laughing, and the prince didn't appreciate it at all, mostly because he thought that the green skinned fighter was laughing at him, which he technically was. "Is there something funny, Namekian? Why don't you do something useful and fix my clothes!" the short Saiyan royalty roared angrily at the "evil" half of Earth's guardian.

The son of the demon king took some time to gain back his breath and stop his laughter. When he finally did, he raised his left index finger and pointed it at the flame haired warrior. "Sure, whatever you say." he said with a smirk on his face and fired a yellow beam that hit the frame of the prince of all Saiyans.

As the beam disappeared, Vegeta's yellow pants were repaired completely, as well as the white socks that he wore. However, the pink shirt that was completely destroyed also returned, covering the prince's entire upper body. Seeing the pink shirt again caused Raditz, Tien to chuckle lightly while Yamcha and Bryco burst into an histerical laughter.

Vegeta clenched his fist and sneered as his body shook with anger. "You blasted Namekian! You had to bring back that fucking pink shit?!" he asked asngrily as he glared daggers of rage at the green skinned alien, who used the clothing beam to create a new set of weighted shoulderpads wrapped in a white cape, as well as fixing his gi and making another weighted white turban on his head.

The prince then shifted his vicious glare at the short-spiky haired Saiyan who was laughing at his pink shirt and at the former bandit. "I'll rip both of your tongues out, asshole!" he shouted but the two warriors didn't stop, causing even more of the group to laugh alongside them, pissing off the full-blooded Saiyan elite even further.

Eventually Trunks and Goku finished their conversation, and he returned to the rest of the group to tell them about the danger of the two androids that would come in three years time.

"So that's all he said, definetely nothing more than that." the naive fighter raised on Earth said with a smile while rubbing the back of his head, trying to make sure he doesn't let any more personal info about Trunks.

Piccolo smirked as he turned his back to the rest of the group and stood on a large rock, knowing everything that the two Saiyans spoke about.

"So that means that we have three years to train hard enough to defeat these androids?" Tien asked as he crossed his hands behind his back, biting into his lip and trying to think of a way he could become stronger.

"That's the most obvious conclusion." Raditz said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Bulma then groaned. "Why is fighting always the answer to you?!" the lavender haired woman asked angrily as everyone else shrugged their shoulders, including Gohan. "Because it's a much more honorable way to do things?" Bryco asked with a tone that made him sound like as if he was trying to answering the question, but wasn't sure if that's what the scientist wanted to hear.

Hearing this, the woman groaned once more. "Look, we can just use the dragon balls to ask were the guy who made these cyborgs is and murder his ass in cold blood." she said as she made a pistol gesture with her hand.

The prince smirk. "Despite the fact that I like the sound of this idea, along with the fact of imagining you killing a person in cold blood, I think my answer is no. And by no, I mean hell no!" he suddenly shouted. "And if any of you cowarly maggots try that , I'll kill your ass!" he shouted as he looked at Krillin, Yamcha and Bulma.

The proud human scowled at the remark. "You heard what Goku said, none of you survive! I'm thinking out of the box here!" she exclaimed with a sour tone as she glared at the group of warriors. "Your supposed to defend the planet, not blissfuly bring harm to it!" she kept on chewing the group out on their behaviour.

Goku scratched his chin while looking up before shifting his gaze to his lavender haired friend. "Sorry Bulma, but I agree with Vegeta and Raditz on this one. It wouldn't be right to kill an innocent man before he actually builds these androids. Besides, I really wanna test my limits as a Super Saiyan." he said as he gave her a bright smile.

The scientist growled with anger as she walked away from the rest, feet stomping the ground with every step. She then turned around and looked at the palm haired Saiyan. "And those cyborgs are probably more than halfway done, because for your knowledge, building such complex machines takes YEARS!" she screamed as she threw a capsule on the ground, which released her airplane with a "POOF!" sound. She entered the plane and after half a minute rose to the air to fly back to Capsule Corp.

After Bulma left, the gang made a circle, even Piccolo and Vegeta joined in. "So what's our training plan?" the youngest son of Bardock asked the rest of the group, wanting to hear options. He kept on his Son smile that was plasted all over his face.

Raditz was the first to bring up his idea for training. "I'll train with you Kakarot. You are the only other Super Saiyan and I need to learn how to use it, as well as to push it to its limits, just like you intend to do." the maned Saiyan said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Gohan quickly raised his hand. "I wanna join you two. I haven't seen you in almost two years dad, so if training means that I'll get to spend time with you, I'll give it everything I've got." he said with a determined expression on his face.

Piccolo then put his hand on the boy's head. "And I can't have you training with two Super Saiyans alone. Whenever you go, I'll go." he said with a smile on his made, causing his best friend to return a shining smile of his own.

The Saiyan prince then made barfing sound, not that he was really puking, but he did so just to annoy everyone else. "Sorry, but your puny sentimentality was so disgusting that it made me want to puke." he said smugly with a sarcastic tone and a shit-eating grin all over his face. "Anyway, I'll train on my own and become the strongest Super Saiyan, because it's my destiny!" he said with arrogance oozing from his body.

The red-spandex wearing Saiyan groaned and rolled his eyes with annoyance of Vegeta's decleration, causing the flame haired royal to fly away from the group after snarling at Bryco while giving him a venomous stare. "Anyway, I don't mind training with the humans. They will need a strong sparring partner." Bryco said with a confident tone as he smirked with a bit of arrogance in his glare.

Suddenly the entire group felt like someone was drilling into their minds. "Then perhaps I have a good solution for you." the voice of the guardian of Earth smoothly leaked into their minds. "I heard everything that Trunks said, and I offer to whoever accepts to come and train on the lookout for the next 3 years under Mister Popo's guidance. He said he already had some ideas. He said that he will start tomorrow." the voice of the eternally young Namekian of the dragon clan said in their heads before the voice disappeared completely.

Tien smirked as he heard what Kami said, clearly showing he was going to take the offer. "Well, it seems the rest of us found a way to train." he said with anticipation bubbling in his voice as his aura ignited around his frame and he flew away from the rest, probably going home.

Several moments later Archako started to jump with excitemtnt. "This is great, Krilli-Billy! We'll get to train with Blackie again!" she squeeled, as suddenly a grey cloud appeared in the sky, launching a bolt of purple lighting that hit the female Saiyan and electrecuting her, but magically not harming the baby in her arms at all. After several seconds her frame was completely as black as coal and she coffed up black ash from her mouth. "What's his deal?" she asked while pointing her finger at the sky. After that she flew away with Marron in her arms.

After that Krillin stayed to talk to Goku a bit before he himself left. Eventually all the Z-Fighters parted paths, knowing that now they had to prepare to a new threat.

Meanwhile, at an unknown location,

For over a decade they have been building this project.

For over a decade he had been planning his revenge against the brat. The monster who took his son away from him. The one who took his opprotunity for fame and acknowledgment. The tailed alien freak: Son Goku.

For over five years his old college friend had joined him in this dark cave. For over five years they were making the ultimate project. Only with his partner would his dream would come true. However he had two great dreams that had pleagued his lifetime: Killing Son Goku, and creating "The Ultimate Lifeform".

The two were sitting inside a dark cave in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by computers and pods. All their expirements, and they were finally getting close. After all those years.

Today, however, bared both good and bad news. The good news was that they had new genetic material with incredible potential to evolve their ultimate lifeform. But the bad news were too much to bare. Today he discovered that any Saiyans could transform. While the physical change were minimal and not threatening, the levels of energy it produced were astronomical. And Son Goku had that transformation.

"Still analyzing the data my friend?" an old voice with a base voice was heard from behind, next to the two pods.

The man growled, slamming his fists on the iron desk. "Curse son Goku! I intended to release the cyborgs in the next few days, but this "Super Saiyan" transformation will make all my efforts for nothing!" a gruff voice of an old man came from the shadowy figure as he once again slammed his fists on the metal desk.

The man that stood behind him just chuckled. "Not quite." he said only to turn to the other old man that looked at the computer screen. "We can calculate the amount of energy they are emitting. We'll study this form and use the results to make our cyborgs much stronger. We can do it, even if it would take several more years!" the other shadowy figure said, trying to ecourage his old friend.

The man at the computer started to chuckle. "Of course you would think clearly in this situation. That is why I need you here, to use your knowledge of biology to enhance what I can do with robotics alone. Together we will create the ultimate lifeform, and with it will come the death of Son Goku." he said as he got up from his chair and started to laugh maniacally.

{To Be Continued]

[Cue #2: Ending- Haruka Kanata by Unlimits]

With grave news from a destroyed and hopeless future, the Z-Fighter must train to become powerful enough to change the destiny of the planet itself. Will they succeed in doing so? Will Vegeta live up to his boast and become the strongest Super Saiyan? And who are the two shadowy figures? Find out in the upcoming arc of Changed Path...

Well... took me long enough. I must say I intended to make this chapter short, even if it might be the usual length. I mostly didn't know how I would prolonge scenes further, but I honestly think I did some good work with this chapter.

Now, here are the base Power Levels of the Saiyans after the Zenkai Boosts, and also including Goku and Future Trunks' max power at base form. Here I go:

Power Levels (Base only):

Raditz (Post-Battle Zenkai): 7.9 Million.

Vegeta (Post-Battle Zenkai): 5.5 Million.

Gohan (Post-Battle Zenkai): 5.2 Million.

Bryco (Post-Battle Zenkai): 6 Million.

Archako (Post-Battle Zenkai): 921,450.

Goku: 8 Million.

Future Trunks: 10 Million.

R&A:

R: Bravo, bravo. You did it.

Raditz's transformation was well done. I figured something was up last chapter when he shouted it, confusing Cooler. Brilliant choice, using his shortcomings as a means to ascend beyond his limits. It was truly a well done transformation scene.

Also, Trunks is here. And Goku too. Looks like the Heroes Comeback has begun. I feel that it is over for the Frost Demon clan, and the Saiyans are going to introduce them to extinction.

A bit of surprise when Goku came back though. His whole not being prepared was great and showed more or less that the odds of their arrivals coinciding were astronomical.

A: Well thanks, hope this chapter was good.

Now yeah I really enjoyed the battle between Raditz and Cooler, and I really like Trunks' pragmatic brutality as always, with him getting two kills. Truly impressive.

Now as I explained in this chapter, Goku was sleeping on Yardrat during most of the fight because it was night on the planet. This is my way of Saying that what happened in the manga was just incredible luck that Goku was on his way and that Trunks intervened early.

R (Chapter 3): jezus talk about popo having a filthy mouth.

A: Well yeah, that is from when I had everyone had incredibly filthy mouths (at least compared to now). But Trust me, when showing his true colors, Popo has the dertiest of mouths.

R (Chapter 4): so, they wont show up in the office with their bodies and a halo?

A: Well, If villains would arrive to the office with their bodies and power, it would cause havoc, now wouldn't it? The Afterlife here is a bit smarter: Only those going to Warrior's Paradise are given their bodies. Everyone else is a cloud (unless there is a special circumstance).

R (Chapter 5): i will laugh my ass off so badly if that one night stand of raditz and bulma ends up with yet ANOTHER child.

A: And so would I, but since it didn't happen, I will still laugh at the idea. We could share a laugh together.

Well, that's all for now. See you all next time. Bye bye.
