Peparia entered the Time Nest after getting a message to return there. She'd been training with Cell for 5 more years, and she was now at the strength that Frieza was at when he achieved his Golden Form, meaning she completely outclassed everyone she'd be meeting in battle.

And it was good timing, because the change in history began during the Buu conflict; Kakarot transformed into Super Saiyan 3 and was able to face Buu, only for him to split into 3, with all of them being at full strength.

Peparia was also told that Towa held a grudge against both Buu and intended to kill him after he killed Kakarot. Buu was the one who killed her older brother Dabura, and as a demon would, she wanted revenge on him.

Peparia took the scroll and closed her eyes, concentrating on it. And when she opened them, she was right in front of Mira's path toward Kakarot and Buu. "Going somewhere?" Peparia said, dropping into her stance.

Mira glared at her and rushed in, but this time, Peparia's speed matched his, and she had time to block. She then countered with a hard right to his stomach, and then another, and then another before uppercutting him. She then spun around with a roundhouse kick which sent him flying. She then charged up a Masenko, as that one was faster than her other techniques.

Peparia chased Mira after the Masenko hit him, kicking him upward and then chasing him after, nailing him with a sledgehammer. However, Mira managed to recover before Peparia could end her combo with another beam attack. He flipped over and tossed a ki blast at Peparia, who merely swatted it away as she rushed downward at Mira.

The battle remained in Peparia's favor the entire time; she was finally faster and stronger than Mira in her base, and her Super Saiyan forms put her completely out of Mira's league. "Don't like being on the receiving end, do you?" Peparia said, transforming into her Super Saiyan state.

Mira glared at Peparia and started flying full speed at her. But Peparia was ready; she placed her hands next to her eyes and fired off a Taiyoken, blinding him. She then charged up a Final Flash far faster than she had been doing lately and let it loose, eradicating Mira completely.

She then looked at Towa and glared at her. "Now it's your turn." But Towa wasn't a fighter. She used her magic to teleport out, leaving Peparia to deal with Buu.

Trunks continued to act as mission control, telling Peparia to put things back the way they were. And when Peparia arrived at the battlefield, two of the Buus were holding Kakarot by the arms, and the third was about to utilize a beam attack. Peparia, still a Super Saiyan, rushed in and exploded one of them with a ki laced punch.

Kakarot pulled on of them in and smacked them together before retreating slightly. From there, both watched as three of them appeared once again. This was going to be rough.

As Peparia brawled with the Buus, she thought about what she could do to end this fight. Both she and Kakarot were stronger than the Buus, but the fact that they regenerated so quickly was what made them dangerous. But by combining their attacks at full strength, Peparia and Kakarot managed to dissipate their forms.

However, eventually, Kakarot ran out of stamina, forcing him to retreat as was proper in the normal history. This meant that Peparia had to ramp up her own output. She transformed into Super Saiyan 2 and started letting out a Blast Meteor and held it as the Buus continued to rush her. However, instead of Kakarot telling Buu to wait for Goten and Trunks to finish their training in the Room of Spirit and Time, the Trunks she knew was the one to tell Buu about the "warrior stronger than him."

Buu agreed and said that Peparia would "Play with Buu until the strong guy comes". However, Peparia didn't answer, and just pulled the scroll from her belt and concentrated on it, returning to the Time Nest.

However, returning to the Time Nest was not as peaceful as she expected. Instead, the hand that the evil Kaioshin had touched started to glow. However, what was more shocking was how Chronoa came running toward Trunks and Peparia, screaming for Peparia to "give me your hand!"

Peparia did so, and Chronoa used her magic to pull a symbol that looked like a "D" out of Peparia. And after wrapping it in magic, she saw it was about to explode, and then tossed it outside the Time Vault and into the air, watching it explode harmlessly.

"Demigra's symbol," Chronoa said, having dropped to her knees from exertion.

"Demigra?" Peparia asked, confused as to what she was talking about.

"I told you about him," Chronoa said as she stood. "He was the one who tried to take control of the Time Nest." She looked up and saw the evil Kaioshin floating in the air outside the Time Vault. "Demon god Demigra!"

"Thanks for keeping things so tidy," Demigra said, floating down to the ground. "You know, I wanted to end you painlessly, but you just simply wouldn't accept the offer."

"You used me!" Peparia shouted, powering up. "You helped me just so you could infect me with some demonic explosive!"

"And to get rid of Towa and Mira," Chronoa said. "Playing dirty, just as you always do!"

Demigra ignored Peparia completely and focused on Chronoa. "Tokitoki, give him to me," He said, holding his hand out. "You know I'm worthy."

"You're worthy of being stuck in solitude in the crack of time," Chronoa said, placing herself between Demigra and Tokitoki. "How did you even escape in the first place, anyway?"

But Demigra refused to answer, instead, using his staff to gather energy, ready to fight. But Peparia and Trunks were having none of this. They rushed in, Trunks with his sword and Peparia with her fist. However, their attacks simply passed through Demigra. He was a mirage, meaning he was still stuck in the Crack of Time.

"We'll meet in person, soon," Demigra said, fading into nothing. "Look forward to it."

"So, he was just creating an illusion and must still be stuck in the crack of time," Chronoa said.

"What is this 'Crack of Time' anyway?" Trunks asked.

"It's a dimension outside of space and time," Chronoa said. "I created it to imprison him, hoping he'd take the time to think about his sins and become a better person. Instead, he festered in them and turned to darkness. There's no doubt that he's been trying to escape."

"Well, at least things won't be boring," Peparia said. "I mean, I doubt Towa will be doing much without a bodyguard, so this 'Demigra' will give me something to do."

"Don't take this too lightly, Peparia," Chronoa said. "Demigra is dangerous, and his magic is different than Towa's."

"You can worry about his magic," Peparia said, stretching her shoulder. "I mean, you've got experience with that stuff. But what I know is how to fight. I'll continue to train and get stronger, and when Demigra shows up, I'll be ready."

Chronoa sighed. "I guess that's all we can do," She said. "Okay, I'll do what I can to remember my battle with Demigra 75 million years ago and prepare you for battle. You keep doing what you've been doing."

"Will do," Peparia said, turning to leave the Time Nest. "When he starts messing with the timeline, I'll be ready."
