Once trunks is through the portal an expansive pocket dimension opens up with short cut grass a small capsule home on the right with a large pile of knickknacks varying in shapes and sizes, a few capsule robots hovering above the grass on the left and a purple old man with similar clothes to the supreme Kai of time sits in the grass looking at a magazine of play-man monthly
Elder Kai! Trunks called out
The man now startled lets out a high pitched yelp before quickly closing his magazine and tucking it in his cloak
Ah T-Trunks I didn't see you there the Elder Kai said with a stutter what can i help you with
The supreme Kai of time just informed me that we'll be having a newcomer to the time patrol and apparently, she incredibly strong
A new comer eh? The elder Kai said stroking his mustache trying to be inconspicuous. and a woman this time around
None of your weirdness Trunks scolded she's very volatile and hasn't been around people in a long time and the last thing she needs is you ogling her
Where do you youngins get off scolding your elders
"Once an adult twice a baby" Trunks quoted it's something my mother would joke about from time to time.
And just who are you calling a baby! Elder Kai began to shout
I just recited a quote Elder Kai trunks said with a slight smirk not everything is about you
I know that! But you directed that quote at me didn't you Elder Kai said in an accusatory tone
Hey, I'm back! The supreme Kai of time said in a cheery voice before seeing Elder Kai blowing his lid and frowning what's going on here?
Your disciple is making fun of the elderly that's what! Elder Kai said in a matter of fact tone
Grow some thicker skin old man the supreme Kai of time said in a joking tone. we've got bigger things to worry about
Let's see how you like it when you get to be my age, Elder Kai said with a sigh. So, where's this new female recruit I've heard so much about
That's your cue the supreme Kai of time said with a giggle
Through the portal walks in a less dirty and feral version of the woman who until just moments ago was locked in a life or death battle with trunks. Shes dressed in typical Saiyan recruit armor equipped with a scouter
Nice to meet you both my name is Shalot the woman said with a fluid yet somehow still forceful bow
Wait! Like that Shallot we know trunks said with urgency in his voice
No, he's from a different timeline the supreme Kai of time corrected besides her name is spelled with one L. Anyway, I was thinking of sending her on her first mission as a patroller
Um Chronoa Elder Kai interjected not that I mean to question your judgement, but has she passed the academy yet?
Oh, there's no need for that Chronoa said nonchalantly I've already got her up to speed
What do you mean no need? Elder Kai asked shocked time patrolling is very serious one wrong move and all of history could be altered
I know that! Chronoa snapped. She has my blessing and I've been watching the scrolls one of them got tampered with fortunately it's a relatively easy one
What about Shalot? trunks asked she has a say in this
I'm fine as long as I get to crack some heads Shalot said punching her open palm with enthusiasm
Fine I guess there's no stopping you Trunks said with a sigh since I'm multiple years your senior in this department me let me show you around
Hold on Trunks let me Chronoa managed to squeak out
Chronoa! We need to talk Elder Kai said in a serious tone
Come on old man what could be so important that…
Chronoa! this is important Elder Kai insisted
What is it old man Chronoa said with a sigh
You're not letting what happened to Toki-Toki city affect your judgement, are you? Elder Kai questioned
No! Why would you think that Chronoa said getting slightly defensive
Because what happened isn't a single person's fault Elder Kai reassured, we all thought the treat was taken care of
I know old man it's just been a while since history been tampered with, I was flustered
Alright Chronoa I'll take your word for it Elder Kai said in a defeated tone
And this is a time scroll Trunks explained. Once you're ready to depart for a mission hold the scroll in the air
Like this? Shalot said obviously holding the scroll above her head
No wait! Trunks yelled
So, Trunks how's our newbie doing? Chronoa asked cheerfully
Um she might have just activated a time scroll Trunks said sheepishly
She did what!? Chronoa yelled her natural pink skin draining white how do we know Towa or Mira aren't in there waiting for her!? Did you even give her the right scroll?
There was only one corrupt scroll Trunks explained. I was only doing a demonstration on how to activate it and she copied me
Alright it's fine all we have to do is keep an eye on her Chronoa said through worried breaths open the big scroll on the table it'll allow us to watch her
Trunks does as asked and rolls open the largest scroll on the table immediately shallot comes into view standing next to her are Goku and Piccolo all three have their attention focused forward where Raditz stands practically oozing malicious energy
I don't know where you came from girl Picciolo addressed not taking his eyes of Raditz, but you'll have to help us out if were all making it out of here alive
Have you already fought him in this state? Shalot asked
We had a bit of a back and forth before he powered up Goku answered even then he was still giving us a hard time
Alright that's all I need to know, Shalot said cracking her knuckles. I'll hold him off until his energy surge dies down. once that happens, he'll be vulnerable I'll leave it up to you two how to deal with him from that point
You can't seriously be thinking you stand a chance against m….
Before Raditz has a chance to finish his sentence Shalot closed the distance between the two of them and kneed him in the stomach
Ah! Raditz howled you fucking whore!
What was that you were saying about not standing a chance Shalot said in a mocking tone
Augh! I'm going to kill you! Raditz threatened
Then quit barking and start biting Shalot taunted
Furious Raditz launches forward and begins to trade blows with Shalot while Goku and Piccolo watch on in awe. At first it looks as though Raditz has the upper hand but as the exchange goes on, he slowly loses more and more ground until he finds himself completely on the defensive.
She's completely overpowering him Piccolo said stunned
I knew I felt something about her when she appeared Goku said confidently anyway Piccolo we need to come up with a plan to finish this we can't let her take care of our problems
I know Piccolo responded but how
It's not a great plan Goku said with a smile but I think it'll get us a win
As Goku piccolo discuss their plan, shallot continues to pummel Raditz. The surge in energy Raditz had at the beginning of their exchange has all but dissipated, he screams out curses as the relentless assault continues. Shalot smacks him into the ground in front of Goku and Piccolo and lands next to them.
Alright this is as much as I can do for you both Shalot said can you handle him on your own now?
We should be able to take it from here Piccolo said
Before you leave mind Tellin me your name Goku asked oh I'm Goku by the way and this green guy is Piccolo
I'm Shalot she said dryly
Before anything else can be said Shalot pulls out the scroll and disappears in a pillar of light. When Shalot next opens her eyes, she finds herself back in the inner sanctum of the time nest where Chronoa, Elder Kai and Trunks wait for her.
