Let us return to our main timeline, as the future of our heroes is greatly shifted. This chapter will be explaining the changes that have taken place for our heroes during the seven years of peace. I will be going through these changes character by character, to keep things somewhat organized and hopefully easier to read. First, allow us to start with everyone's buddy, Krillin!

-Krillin-

Krillin, after playing hero and getting thanked by many civilians, had returned to Roshi's. This is where he met 17, who was demanding answers from the smaller man. Krillin admitted to knowing very little, but explains the monster that came after 18. He informs he is not sure what happened after his sacrifice for the android though. 17 questioned why he would save 18, when they planned on killing Goku. Krillin responding that she didn't seem to be bad, and hoped that he might be able to convince them to no longer try to kill his friend. Krillin's blush giving a little more of a hint to 17, as he mocked the small man for falling for his sister. Krillin deflecting by asking why he was not with his sister right now, as she was looking for him last he heard. 17 at first remarks is that is true, then he should go out to find her, which Roshi instead suggests he stay put. The two of them flying around would cause each other to be missed completely and possibly never found.

18 had only a small point of reference, and soon had to begin searching by asking around. Roshi's name was legendary still as a martial arts master, with many surprised that a woman such as herself wanted to find him. She lies and says her brother was supposed to be training with him, and wanted to visit. Soon coming to the edge of the ocean and being told he lived somewhere in the middle of it all. This idea did not thrill her, as she took to the sky and began searching. It would take her many days before she found it finally, Krillin having returned to training just outside and the blonde bombshell asking what he was doing there. Krillin answered that Roshi was his master, and he trained and lived the master to perfect his arts. 18 then remarks why he didn't offer to show her the way, a little angrily. Krillin just chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head, commenting that he was not sure if 17 would be here. He then calls for the android who called back, 'Finally!' 17 coming out and arguing that it took her way to long.

The androids finally together, 18 stated not for Krillin to go disappearing on her. The two interrupted before they left by Tarble and Yurin. Introducing themselves, they inform the androids that Goku is dead, killed in the battle against Cell. Everyone being brought up to speed on what happened, 17 not believing them. Roshi remarking that he did see a battle on T.V. but most of the fight blacked out and instead he could only feel the fight. In the end, Tarble and Yurin just gave the two androids a warning. If they proved to be a threat to the world, they would be destroyed. 17 laughed that he could try, but 18 knew of the sudden burst of strength Vegeta had. She asked if he was as strong as Vegeta, Tarble simply nodded to leave them to underestimate him. 18 did not though, and told 17 to cool it. A look on her face told the rebellious boy to listen. Krillin chimed in and asked if the two had a place to stay. The two stated they would find some place to go, 18 looking back to the older human as he rubbed the back of his head. 18 remarked that she has been flying around for days, and wants to chill for a little while. 17 instead just teasing his sister for finding a boyfriend, only to tell him to shut up… but not denying it!

The few years following is light training, 18 staying with Krillin and finding him more than agreeable to her. He had a kind heart that reminded her consistently why she liked him, as well as easily directed him to do what she wanted when she wanted to. The relationship growing tell the marriage and Marron's birth during the seven years of peace.

-Chichi and Vegeta-

With the following years, Chichi tried to keep up with Vegeta. Unfortunately, due to Saiyan genetics and humans being a weaker race… she just could not keep up. One day she fought him with a rule that the winner gets to demand one thing of the other. It was one of the few times Vegeta noticed that Chichi struggled more than normal. Pushing herself and even using Kaio-ken to best his base form for only a few moments. Vegeta was not one to let her win though, and power powered her when he took the super saiyan state. Vegeta's demand, why Chichi was so persistent as this victory condition was one she brought up a few times now. She at first refused to tell him, making the Saiyan man angry and state that it is his demand to know. Chichi then just yelled at him that she wanted to get married, and was done waiting for him to propose himself. Vegeta taken aback by this sudden call out, but slowly turned to a smirk as he accepted her proposal instead. Knowing his future daughter would grow to be a fine warrior that reminded him of both himself and his lover, made him feel that Chichi was the only one for him. The two became married soon after.

Now Chichi does not become the housewife like the original story, instead she takes her skills for another purpose. With her having been a martial artist for a longer time, she couldn't just give it up. Instead she opened a dojo, The Ox Style and began to train weaker humans to defend themselves.

Vegeta on the other hand continued to work to become stronger. Goku not his only rival in this story, He had Tarble to seek to surpass as well as Raditz and Nappa to keep undertow. The prince proud that his children soon learned martial arts from their mother, letting them work with her while he sought to catch up to the level of mastery that Gohan, Goku, and Tarble had obtained with Super Saiyan. But with Goku's death and the years of peace, it did slowly cause him to relax on his training.

-Nappa-

The older saiyan is a different story, he retires completely from combat. He instead only trains enough to keep his strength at the level it was, not needing to grow stronger and instead used it as a purpose to help teach the children. He kept his garden growing and cared for the Sensu Beans as well. Providing enough to feed the saiyans and the children that lived with them, and soon placing another tree down to help feed lunch as well.

The reason Lunch was needing a sensu bean, is because Nappa and her finally shacked up. Being one of the Saviors of the world, Bad Lunch used it as a ploy to finally be with the big lug. A night of Passion that Good Lunch used as a reason to stay. Her split personalities both soon growing on Nappa as it was nice to have Good Lunch to care for him, while Bad Lunch would be fun to go out with. Married last from other relationships, the have a baby girl of two years old by the end of the seven years of peace. Her name Yamma, and she has her good mother's hair, and seems to have the same hair change when she sneezes just like her mother.

-Raditz-

The brother of Goku, at first returns to his home and remembers its destruction caused by his fight with 16. A deep sigh as he did not think it would be easy to repair, and having to return to West City to get some help in getting repairs. Bulma and the rest of the family telling him to stay with them tell it is back up, as it made no sense for him to go anywhere else. This gave Gohan someone to train with and allow Raditz to get a full understanding of Super Saiyan mastery. In the main city he does have more people to interact with, and volunteers with disaster recovery of the nearby city. This gets him popular around town, showing his impressive strength even with one arm.

Over the years he instead of moving back to the lonely house in the middle of nowhere, gets an apartment in West City. This allowed him to join Gohan in morning workouts, but also required him to get a job to hold his place of living. The saiyan refusing the help of his brother's family as he did not like the idea of being a leech to them. He instead joins Capsule Corp as a delivery man and bodyguard, wearing the newest armor developed by Capsule Corp to make it official. It also helped he was use to the armor's style, as it was still was much like the Saiyan Armor.

-Yamcha-

Unlike the original story, Our Yamcha does not become a baseball player. Not much changes for this character though. Instead he continues to train a few students, keeping his Wolf Hermit status by training them in his old bandit hideout. Survival in an intense environment, and master of ones Ki to control and teaching them his mastered Wolf Fang Fist and Spirit Ball techniques before having his students leaving to learn their own paths. Yamcha using the time alone to try to master the Kaio-ken version of moves and slowly getting to the point of times 20 himself, but also learning to regulate the form to a new level of mastery. This mastery actually reduces the impact on the body, allowing him to take higher levels without completely destroying his body.

-Tien and Chiaotzu-

The two visit the lookout from time to time, but the two decided to take up training alone as much as they can. They both felt not very helpful when it came to Cell, and while they would not forget their fellow students… they felt it would be better if they mastered their style and joined Yamcha in teaching the next generation in true martial arts. The two disappearing and only making themselves known three times in the seven years of peace.

-Yurin-

Though much of her time is spent with Tarble, I am separating them for a minor purpose. But placing her first to explain some changes she makes.

Her time on the lookout is taken up with many duties of God, looking over the mortals and using the Lookout as a method to work magic that heals the planet. She does this through learning techniques from Dende on healing, most of her magic from now was learning seals and methods of cursing others. Some of the curses did multiply the strength of people, but as proven with the saiyan battle many years ago, it was a dangerous game. Instead learning Namekian magic, and incorporating it to earth. Helping the world revitalize itself after the Cell Games, though not directly affecting the humans and beasts of the world. Just helping the earth correct itself through magical means. Dende assisting her by joining her in chanting and gathering energy for the spells, and teaching him that sometimes small unseen assistance is all that is needed. The earth being helped heal would provide for the lives that it hosts. Nail continued to help Dende train physically, but she taught him many new skills that he could use to enhance his Ki and slowly make the dragon more powerful in his two wishes.

But a major change comes five years into the peace age they lived in. She upgraded the time chamber once more, keeping the fact it would not age anyone who entered it. But because it had proven so useful against Cell, she had been working on methods to change the magical nature of the chamber. Finally, after many countless attempts to correct it, she completed her goal. The time chamber now allowing one day a year for anyone to enter it, meaning that they should be able to use it again at their leisure.

-Tarble-

The saiyan after the defeat of Cell, at the cost of one of his best friends, was not going to allow it to happen once more. He knew he could not be around forever, and he would have to leave the world to be protected by his child and the others children someday. He instead took over Garic's training, allowing Popo to instead take care of the Lookout as he was supposed to. Garic was still so young, but his body was strong from having to live in such high altitude and living with such powerful beings. Tarble knew that Popo had taught him methods to harness and still his mind, Garic often silent because of this. Small bouts of training show that Garic was a quick learner, or happened to pay attention during his own training as he grew up.

Two years later, Tarble asked Yurin if he could take him off the Lookout for a full year. He wanted to travel with his son, walking the grounds of earth and having to work on his understanding of life by interacting with it. Yurin, having a moment of protective mother, did not like the idea. But being reminded that nothing really posed a threat to Garic or Tarble, and it would be better then having him isolated. He also planned on inviting his cousins, so that the three could bond over some time together, as well as Trunks if Bulma would allow it.

When Yurin finally gave in, she demanded he at least allow them make magically guarded cloths. Dressing the little boy in a proper Gi with magically enhanced cloth that would defend him, the symbol of Kami on the back. She remarked that if he wanted to come home, she could bring him back at any point. Garic nodded with a gentle 'okay.'

Tarble and Garic first flew to Vegeta and Chichi's place, Nappa currently play fighting between the two of them. It appeared as if a gorilla was having trouble with chimps, as the two younger hybrids dashed and danced around his legs giggling the whole time. Tarble told Garic to watch and join if he wished, but quiet boy instead stood by as he confusingly looked at the playful game.

Tarble had entered the house and was greeted by a cheerful Chichi and a disgruntled Vegeta. The younger saiyan asked his brother and sister in law if they would allow him to take their children on a year long nature walk, allowing them to experience the world. Chichi argues against this. This Chichi has not put so much force to studying and not training, but the two kids were still getting ready to go to school soon, and the year long walk would put them back a year. Vegeta instead argued that unless they have their battle now to decide who would be King of Saiyans, he will decline. Chichi yelled at Vegeta for ignoring what she just said, but a stare down from Vegeta and Tarble was all that mattered. Tarble just sighed and bowed to Chichi, and told his brother he does not wish to fight over something so small. If he wanted to be King, he can have the crown. Vegeta remarks that is not how it will happen; they will fight for it one day. Tarble then left with Garic toward west City.

At west City, he sees Gohan having barely increased in his strength. The young teenage boy simply tells Tarble that he had began to focus on studies. He kept up with training with Raditz in the morning, but limited his own training to about an hour a day and not to the same extremes. He had to start preparing for taking over Capsule Corp someday, and he wanted to focus on his studies. He promised he would not allow himself to become weak but it was not his focus to be a fighter like his father.

This slightly annoyed Tarble, if only because it meant the strongest of them all was choosing to leave the world to be protected by the others. The hybrid was not thinking about the future threats. He suddenly realized he was thinking much like his father, or any other saiyan. He worried he was starting to get to old or enjoying battle to much if he truly did not like the choice someone else made. Instead he says his goodbye to him, and is turned down for Trunks to join as well for school starting.

So Tarble and his son instead begin their journey with just the two of them. Tarble explaining that from this point forward, the two of them would walk, run, swim, and climb as part of training. Garic asked why, and Tarble explained that he needed to develop his body still. He had worked on mastering his spirit, but his body is lacking because of it. So, for the next year, the two lived off the land and Garic was trained in Saiyan combat as well as methods to control his own Oozaru form. Garic having mentally trained most of his life, and with Tarble direction with his own knowledge allowed the young boy to master it quickly. Though mastery of it still lead to Garic in a bit of a tantrum when he transformed, Tarble having to stop him several times during the full moon with his still greater power. But the year of training alone with his father still got to have Garic have many friends he met, allowing him to enjoy his life as a child as well. Tarble happy to see his son enjoy his youth, and even defending others when danger came.

The following few years, Tarble, Garic, and Yurin would go down to visit their friends and family every few months. Allowing Dende to act as god and watch over the world in their stead for a few days. Tarble and Vegeta constantly having a stare down every visit, the two saiyans could feel that they both were still getting stronger. Gohan slowly being left behind as he drew more and more into his studies. Raditz remarked that his training partner switched to Trunks not long after Gohan had put all his effort in learning.

When Yurin had told him of the change to the time chamber, Tarble actually grew excited by the concept of being able to train more intensely. Garic showing the same joy as it meant he might be able to get much stronger too. But as he looked at the chamber door, he had one worry… 16 would not be in there anymore. It had been so long and he might have simply rusted away. Garic innocently saying that they won't know tell they go in. Tarble looked at his son and nodded, but then looked back down to earth. He asked that Yurin and Garic use the chamber, surprising the two. Tarble explains that he needed to do something else, to right something he could not allow to happen.

Yurin and Garic do enter the chamber, Tarble instead meditates on what he needs to do. He wondered if it was right to be forceful in this, to truly be demanding of someone else to do what he wished. It took some time before he finally decided himself, and took off to West City.

Tarble arrived as Gohan returned, and Tarble informed him of the new rule for the Time Chamber. Gohan at first congratulating that Tarble will be able to train more. Tarble remarked that he would like to have Gohan join him, the young man saying he did not wish to focus on training. Tarble then askes if Gohan can go super saiyan 2, the teen answered that he was unsure. Tarble requested that he try, but when he did Gohan found that he lost the ability it seemed. Tarble then asked that he at least spend an hour a day training, and the following weekend to join him for an hour in the chamber. Gohan at first confused, then realized that an hour would be around two weeks of training. Gohan stated that by doing so, he could have time to train and it would not interrupt his training. Tarble then saying that two hours a month, and he would be able to keep studying while regaining and possibly surpassing his power. Gohan agreeing to this, as it meant he would not have to devote his life to training and give him a chance relieve stress through martial arts training.

A few months following Goku is revived, having trained in the afterlife. Gohan and Tarble had enjoyed at least three months of training together. Goku amazed by the growth of everyone, as even Gohan began to catching up to his old power he had against Cell. The day Goku was brought back, Tarble announced the change of the Chamber. Vegeta immediately wishing to take his turn, and even leaving while they celebrated Goku's return with a party much to Chichi's embarrassment. Gohan having one of his hours now taken by training with his father, Tarble instead used the extra hour for himself.

For those who wonder, 16 was in the chamber and unfortunately in to long and would have to wait for new year before he was able to leave. 16 remarks that he is not sure if he would want to, as he got use to the space and loneliness. But he was convinced to leave when the door showed, several thousand years passed for the android but it was like nothing had changed. 16 had left a short time, finding 17 and partnering with him in defending a park reserve,

The following years, Vegeta would visit only to get his turn in the chamber and spend a full day to enjoy the benefits of training all at once. But Tarble was slowly progressing faster as he allowed his body to recover from the chamber as well, and Vegeta could feel the difference still growing further and further. Each time he went in, the gap he made closed quicker. Tarble using his now free hour to train with Garic, bring his son to the super saiyan state and helped his boy learn to master super saiyan. Another fact that Vegeta suddenly resented and began bringing his own children and had each of them to train with him for half a day each or a half year in the chamber.

These are the small changes that have taken place, there are possibly a few I have not decided as of posting this chapter. But at this point, it is time to start the Buu saga… and this will follow Gohan as per the original story. Let us see how this newer Gohan that had two years (technically four) to train back to full power and greater, lasts in high school!
