A/N: Hey there, AntiHero here! Time to make this story official by continuing to rewrite the chapter in my own way! I apologize if the chapters appear to be a little short, but don't worry, once we get to the arcs they'll be longer. Enough talk, it's time for Dragon Tail Z!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, or Fairy Tail, someone else does.
Chapter 2: Guilds, Mages, Magic? Where am I?
Mirai Trunks was currently carrying the unconscious Gohan on his back while he fought the gravitational force of the rift they were in. The Saiyan prince was scrambling to find an exit despite his condition; his driving force allowed him to remain strong for fear of Gohan's survival. Mirai Trunks checked on his friend; he could clearly see that he needed medical attention and fast. Trunks continued to fly through the pitch black hole while searching for an exit, but the rift seemed to go on forever.
"Dammit! At this rate, Gohan won't make it!" thought Trunks.
He was desperately trying to find a way to save Gohan. The lone fighter already felt guilty for his mentor's death; he had let Mirai Gohan down. He wasn't going to let the present Gohan down, too. Although his Ki was dropping fast and he was still injured from the Cell Games, the son of Vegeta persisted in escaping this rift, but his weakened state was starting to affect his movement so much that he started to slow down. Trunks was so focused on escaping the rift that he didn't notice the two portals opening on opposite sides. The two new portals each gave off a strong gravitational pull that was starting to overwhelm the Saiyan prince.
The intense gravity from the two portals was so strong that the time traveler started to lose his grip on Gohan. The two Demi Saiyans were eventually pulled apart and started to get sucked into different portals. "No! Gohan!" cried Trunks as he tried to take back his comrade. The older Saiyan reached for the younger Saiyan, but he slipped out of his grasp and started to move farther away from him. Trunks' eyes widened in horror as Gohan was completely absorbed by the right portal.
"GOHAN! HAAA!" yelled Trunks as he turned Super Saiyan.
Trunks attempted to fly into the right portal after Gohan, but the left portal's pull was overpowering his strength. Prince Trunks struggled to escape his portal's pull, but his Ki eventually dropped to zero and he reverted back to his base form. His strength eventually failed and he was absorbed into the left portal. After he was absorbed, the portals closed and the rift turned pitch black.
Back in Dragon Ball Z world: Earth
The Z Fighters stood there in shock after watching their teammates get sucked into a dimensional rift. "Gohan and Trunks. They're… gone," said Piccolo. Vegeta was still flying around the battlefield, searching for any more portals. "That boy! He just had to jump into that hole!" said Vegeta in his usual rough tone. "In their injured states, neither of those two could last long if they were to encounter a strong foe. Trunks will probably be more concerned with protecting Kakarot's brat, which could lead to his downfall in battle."
"I have an idea," said a voice from behind the Z Fighters. They all turned to see the green guardian standing behind them.
"Dende! What are you doing here?" asked Yamcha.
"I came here to heal Trunks after Cell blasted him. Plus…" Dende started to explain before Piccolo interrupted him.
"Are you crazy?! If Cell had sensed your Ki, you would've been killed in an instant!" shouted Piccolo. "And if you die, the Dragon Balls would've ceased to exist!"
Dende knew what he did was risky and that Piccolo had every right to be upset, but he still felt the need to justify his actions. "I just wanted to heal Trunks. If I hadn't, he would've died without helping Gohan to defeat Cell," said Dende. "Besides, Cell was too distracted by the battle to sense me."
"You do realize that we could've wished Trunks back to life with the Dragon Balls," sighed Piccolo.
The small Namek thought about this for a moment; this particular thought seemed to escape his mind before now. "True, but I wasn't sure if Vegeta's blast was powerful enough—" Dende was suddenly interrupted by a blast coming at him. He quickly avoided it and looked up to see the Prince of Saiyans glaring at him.
"Nice one, but I made that easy to dodge," said Vegeta. "Don't ever say I wasn't powerful enough, or else you're history. Understand?"
"Yes, sir," said Dende.
"Dende, you said you had an idea. What is it?" asked an impatient Piccolo.
"Oh right," said Dende. "I was thinking that we could use the Dragon Balls to wish Gohan and Trunks back here."
"What if they're dead?" asked Krillin.
"Then we can ask the eternal dragon to revive them along with everyone that was killed by Cell," suggested Tien.
Piccolo nodded at this idea. "Let's go. The sooner we get this done the better." The Z Fighters flew into the air and headed toward Kami's lookout. Krillin had quickly picked up Android 18 and followed his friends.
Back to Fairy Tail's World: Earthland
With Trunks
Trunks groaned as he struggled to get up. Unfortunately, his injuries were too much; he was completely immobile. "Dammit!" was all he could say. His pain was almost as bad as when Cell fired a Ki blast through his chest. After a few attempts, Trunks finally managed to stand on his feet. As soon as he did, he stumbled a bit before leaning against a tree that was next to him. The Demi Saiyan took a good look at his surroundings. He then realized that he was in a crater that was created from his crash landing.
He used the little Ki he had left to levitate himself out of the crater. Trunks was stunned by the environment he found himself in. He hadn't expected to land in a forest after being sucked into a black portal. His eyes grew wide as he realized something, Gohan wasn't with him. Trunks started to trek slowly through the forest as he searched for his friend. "Gohan!" cried the teenage Saiyan. "Are you here?!" There was no response.
He recalled that Gohan was sucked into a different portal. He tried to sense Gohan's Ki, but he couldn't find any trace of it. "No, Gohan's not dead! He can't be! He's probably too far away for me to sense," thought Trunks, trying to assure himself that his fellow Saiyan was still alive. "Plus his Ki gotta be too weak at this point." After limping and searching through the forest, Trunks managed to detect two energy signals coming toward him. He quickly hid in the bushes since he was in no condition to fight. He wasn't sure if these two could sense his Ki or not.
He peeked through the bushes and saw two figures walking toward the crater he made with his entry. Once they were in his sight, Trunks took notice of their appearance. The figures were two girls. The first one was older; she had blue eyes and pink hair. She wore a black vest and skirt. The vest sported a collar and a tie that stopped at her mid-chest, aside from the light cloth band that was clasped above her navel, belly, and the under-inside portion of her breasts which were exposed. She also wore a dark hair band with points resembling cat ears, and long black gloves that reached her upper arms.
The younger one was a petite girl who had a striking resemblance to the older girl. She also had blue eyes and an innocent expression on her face. She had amaranth hair that was tied in two short pigtails with orange bows. She also wore a pale blue mini skirt, a pink sleeveless top with a dark blue center and folded collar with another orange ribbon, a heart emblem on her left breast and an "X" on her right breast. She wore short white gloves coupled with orange wristbands; on top was a long pink fabric that reached her upper arm, orange armbands were keeping them in place.
"Why did the master have to make us go on this mission?" the shorter girl exclaimed.
"Come on. Don't be like that, Chelia, someone could need our help," said the older girl. "Besides, this will be a good way for us to spread our love." Trunks noticed the extra effort the older girl put in saying the word "love".
"You're right, Sherry. I mean, my love is nowhere near yours, so I should follow your example until my love is close to yours," said the younger girl, who Trunks deduced was named Chelia while the older one was Sherry.
Sherry nodded before looking into the large hole in front of them. The two girls stared at the crater with wide eyes. "Whatever made this hole has to be huge," stated Chelia.
"It certainly wasn't a lovely creature, that's for sure," said Sherry. "Should we call for back up?"
"I'm sure our love combined can handle anything," said Chelia with confidence.
Their conversation was interrupted when they suddenly heard a voice in the bushes behind them. "Do you think it's still here?" asked a terrified Sherry as she and Chelia turned around. Despite being capable of fighting when necessary, she wasn't as strong as her cousin.
"I'm not sure, but we shouldn't drop our guard," replied Chelia. "I'll check the bushes. Watch my back, and let me know if anything happens." She whispered her words to her cousin so that whoever was hiding in the bushes wouldn't hear her. However, Trunks' Saiyan hearing allowed him to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"I have to get out of here." thought the half Saiyan. He didn't know if they were friend or foe, so he couldn't trust them. All he knew was that he was in no condition to fight and one of them was headed toward him. He was so focused on the approaching Chelia that he didn't notice a squirrel trying to retrieve a nut from under his hand. After a few tries, the squirrel realized that it wouldn't be able to get its food without force, so the small creature bit down on the Saiyan hybrid's hand with all of its might. Any normal person would've flinched from the pain of that bite.
But Trunks wasn't a normal person with a normal body. The Saiyan felt no pain from the attack while the rodent screeched in pain from the density of Trunks' skin. Although the noise wasn't loud, it was loud enough for the two girls to hear. "Who's there?!" asked Chelia. "Come out!" Trunks wasn't sure how much longer he could hide before Chelia found him. He then remembered something: he still had the bag of Senzu beans from the Cell Games. He reached into his boot and pulled out the bag that held the magic beans.
He shook the bag and was relieved to see there was still one last Senzu bean. The Saiyan popped the bean into his mouth and chowed down on it. He immediately felt a surge of power as his injuries were healed and his Ki was restored.
Chelia moved closer to the bush before looking back at her cousin, who nodded. Just as she was about to look through the bushes, a blue blur jumped out with lightning speed onto a tree branch and landed a couple of meters behind Sherry. The girls quickly turned around and were face to face with the Demi Saiyan warrior, who had entered a fighting position.
"Who are you?!" Chelia demanded as she went to her cousin's side. She got no response from the Saiyan Prince, who stared at them intensely.
"Hey, he's cute," said Sherry.
"Sherry, you're engaged, remember?" said Chelia. She had to remind her cousin every time they spotted a guy that was considered cute.
"I know, I was just pointing it out," said Sherry. Trunks tried to hide his embarrassment, but it was no use as the blush on his face became visible. "Awww, and he's shy, too." Trunks was confused by the girl's reaction; his enemies don't normally compliment him this way.
"You're not going to attack us, are you?" asked Chelia.
"Not unless you attack first," replied Trunks.
Chelia kept her eyes on Trunks. She then asked, "You're not a bad guy, are you?"
"No, I'm not," said Trunks.
"Alright then, care to explain how that crater was formed, please?" asked Sherry, trying to get more information out of the half Saiyan.
Trunks dropped his stance as he looked at the girls. "Actually, I woke up in the center of that crater," said the Saiyan teen. "It must be a result of the impact I had when I fell to the ground."
Both girls just stared at Trunks with wide eyes. How was it possible that he made that giant hole; how high was he from the ground? "Wait a minute, you don't have any injuries," said Chelia when she realized Trunks was perfectly fine. "How can anyone fall from the sky to the ground and come out unscathed?"
"I had a magic bean that heals injuries quickly," replied Trunks. He quickly asked, "Hey, did either of you happen to see an 11 to 12 year old boy on your way here?"
"No," answered Chelia.
"Sorry, we didn't see anyone on the way here," replied Sherry.
"Dammit!" thought Trunks as he realized that Gohan was nowhere near their location and that it was his fault for losing his grip on the younger Saiyan.
Before Trunks or Chelia could ask any more questions, Sherry spoke up. "Hey guys, we can spend the rest of the day here asking questions, or we can discuss the matter on our lovely way back to the guild."
Chelia nodded in agreement, then smiled at the half Saiyan and introduced herself along with her companion. "I'm Chelia Blendy. This is my cousin, Sherry Blendy."
"My name is Trunks Briefs," the Saiyan introduced himself. He then asked, "Excuse me, but what do you mean by guild?"
The girls stared at the time traveler as if he were a crazy man. Their looks made Trunks feel embarrassed. "You don't know what a guild is—" Chelia asked before she was interrupted by her cousin.
"Splendid! We'll explain everything on our way to the guild. What better way to express our love?" stated Sherry. "Just follow us; we'll fill you in on the details."
Trunks made a mental note that the two girls were overdramatic when it came to expressing love, though it seemed the older one was more obsessed with it. The lone warrior nodded and the three began their journey to the guild.
With Gohan
The Son of Goku woke up feeling rather well despite the damages he suffered from the battle with Cell. He sat up and looked around, finding the surroundings of the room he was in unfamiliar. He could see that he wasn't in his room, or any room at the Capsule Corp. or at Kame's house. Gohan recalled the events of the Cell Games, achieving the Super Saiyan 2, his father sacrificing himself to save the Earth after he got cocky and didn't finish Cell when he had the chance. That last memory seemed to upset Gohan, so much that he almost started to cry, but he quickly wiped away his tears when he heard someone to the door.
He turned to see a girl about his age standing in the doorway. He took a good look at her and saw that she was a petite girl with long dark blue hair that reached her waist, two bangs that stopped at her chest, and brown eyes. She wore a simple dress with two wavy stripes running across the dress, and ended in small pointed edges at the bottom. Her arms and legs bore wing like attachments. Her left arm had a weird tattoo on it.
The girl was carrying a tray of food while beside her stood a small white cat that stood on its hind legs and held a small frown on its face.
"Oh, thank goodness you're awake," said the girl as she placed the tray of food beside Gohan. "My name is Wendy Marvell, what's yours?"
"My name is Son Gohan," said Gohan.
"Well Gohan, you're in our guild, Fairy Tail," explained Wendy. "If you'll excuse me, I have to get the master from downstairs. He'll be up in a few minutes."
Wendy and her cat left Gohan alone. The half Saiyan stared into space as he tried to process what Wendy told him. "Where am I? And what does she mean by the Fairy Tail guild?" thought Gohan. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the short old man, wearing a light brown cape standing in the doorway. The old man cleared his throat to get the boy's attention. Gohan quickly turned to see the master.
"Sorry sir, I didn't see you," Gohan apologized.
"That's alright, boy," assured the master. "But I must ask how you fell from the sky?"
Gohan's eyes widened from the master's question. "Fell from the sky, what does he mean by that?" thought Gohan. When he realized the master was still waiting for an answer, he said, "I'm sorry sir, I don't understand you question."
"According to the townspeople, you fell out of the sky and crash landed just outside the town," explained the old man.
Gohan furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to remember what happened after he defeated Cell, but he couldn't. "Sorry sir, I don't remember what happened," said Gohan.
The master sighed and asked, "Well, where are you from, boy?"
"Well, I live a few miles outside of West City," replied Gohan.
The master stared at Gohan in disbelief "Are you sure, boy, because I've never heard of West City before."
Now it was Gohan's turn to stare in disbelief. "Well, may I ask where I am?" asked Gohan.
"You're in the town of Magnolia in the Kingdom of Fiore, Earthland," replied the master.
"Sir, I'm afraid I've never heard of this place before," said Gohan. "And what's a guild, if I may ask?"
The master once again stared at the boy in disbelief. "You don't know what a guild is?" he asked.
"Afraid not, sir," said Gohan.
"Was this boy serious?" thought the old man. He went on to explain everything to the son of Goku. As the old man spoke, Gohan listened to every word he said, growing more interested the more he heard and understood. After talking for what seemed to feel like a few hours, the master finally said, "Well, it's getting late. I should let you get some rest now." He turned to leave Gohan before he stopped himself and said, "Oh, how rude of me. I'm Makarov Dreyar."
Gohan smiled and said, "I'm Son Gohan."
"Well, it's pleasure to meet you, Gohan." And on that note, Makarov left the Saiyan alone to his thoughts.
Gohan stared out the window as he thought, "Guilds? Wizards? Magic? Where am I?"
With Trunks
The time traveler was currently taking refuge at the Lamia Scale guild hall. Chelia and Sherry had introduced him to a few of the guild members, such as their master, Ooba Babasaama, along with Jura Neekis, Lyon Vastia, Yuka Suzuki, and Toby Horhorta. None of them seemed normal to the Demi Saiyan, but the most confusing thing was how quickly they accepted him. Not that he was complaining; he was actually happy to be able to make some new friends rather than enemies. Trunks tried to sense Gohan's Ki, but once again, he was unable to detect it.
Sherry and Chelia explained everything to the half Saiyan, and Ooba filled in on whatever they left out. Despite understanding everything they told him, it was still a hard pill to swallow for the half-breed. All he could figure out from their information was that the portal that he and Gohan were sucked into had transported them to another dimension or universe.
"Gohan, I hope you're alright." thought Trunks. "Guilds? Wizards? Magic? Where exactly am I?"
