A/N: Ta-da! AntiHero is back with another chapter for Dragon Tail Z! Sorry if it's taking so long, but I've got a lot on my mind, along with a bunch of Fanfic ideas that I'm trying to figure out how to get going. But I'm still here, and I'm still working on it. Ain't gonna let this gift that Revolve X gave go to waste. Now, time for Dragon Tail Z!

Chapter 5 –

Gohan watched as his guildmates headed out to see Mirajane. He thought it would be best if he stayed behind since he wasn't sure if he was allowed to go with them; after all, he was just a new member. He sighed as he turned around and sat in a nearby chair, hoping to use this spare time to figure out what happened after his battle with Cell. The Demi Saiyan closed his eyes as he entered deep into his thoughts. "Gohan." The boy's eyes snapped open at the sound of someone calling his name, and he saw Wendy was standing in front of him. "Is there something wrong?" she inquired.

"Oh no, it's nothing you should worry about," he assured, not wanting anyone to know about his current situation. "Why didn't you go with the others to see Mirajane?"

Wendy fought back the urge to blush; when she saw that Gohan hadn't gone with the group, she came back with the master to check on him. "W-Well, I came back with the master. The others went ahead, but Master Makarov wanted to inform Macao and Wakaba of the duties they have to perform until we return." It wasn't the whole truth, but Gohan nodded as he accepted her answer. "Why aren't you going with us?" she quickly asked.

"To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to go," Gohan answered.

"Why don't you come with us? I'm sure no one would mind," Wendy offered.

"I don't think it's a good idea since I'm new here," Gohan said uncertainly.

Makarov, who had just finished talking to Macao and Wakaba, heard what Gohan was saying. "Nonsense," he stated, getting the kids' attention. "Why are you saying this, Gohan? You can come if you want. You may be new here, but you're a part of our family now."

Gohan felt relieved that he was accepted even though he was new. "Thank you, master."

Makarov nodded to the boy. "Well, now that that's out of the way, we should head out," the master suggested.

"Right. We need to catch up with the others," Wendy agreed. Both mages looked at the Half Saiyan. "Are you coming?"

"Yeah," Gohan replied as he smiled. The three then left to join up with their guildmates.

Trunks Briefs was now walking toward his guild hall. He figured that Mirajane would be safer at the medical center, and the nurse had sent out people to deliver the message to Fairy Tail, so she should be okay. As he trekked toward Lamia Scale, he wondered how the guild master would react to him not getting the full payment for the job. Brushing his thoughts aside, his mind drifted toward the time machine. He wondered if he could somehow use it to get back home. "Would that be possible since I'm in a different world rather than time period?" he thought. "Perhaps if I can get the time machine to travel across dimensions or universes, but that would require altering it and modifications, and I don't have the equipment necessary for that kind of experiment."

Trunks wondered if the time machine would still work since the power supply was not only hard to find or nonexistent in the past but it was likely that it also didn't exist in this world due to there being little use of advance technology. He decided to check the time machine's condition and the date. He brought the time machine capsule and pressed the button before throwing the tablet to the floor. The Dyno- cap popped and the device appeared in a puff of smoke.

Opening the hatch and jumping into the vacant seat, the Saiyan Prince started the machine. It roared to life, and Trunks checked the battery level. "Still has enough power for one jump. Probably best if I save it for another time," he thought. He then checked the date; he was stunned to see that he was now in the year of 791. "Age 791? That's even further than my timeline! Have we been thrown 24 years into the future and at the same time placed in a different universe?" The time traveler then stepped out of the machine, but before he could revert it to its capsule form, he heard a voice from behind him say, "Looks like we found him." Sensing their Ki, Trunks turned around to find five people standing behind him.

He was about to ask what they wanted when the group launched magic attacks of fire and ice at him. Instinctively, Trunks dodged the attacks, jumping far away from them. However, the attacks collided with the time machine, much to his dismay. Trunks watched as his ticket home caught on fire as it tipped over. He quickly released a kiai to douse the flames. When the fire went out, he noted the machine was still in one piece, but it looked damaged, probably too damaged to be used without repairs. "Looks like we've got a quick one, eh, boys?" said one of the assailants.

Trunks gritted his teeth as he attempted to control his anger. "What do you want?!" he questioned.

"Poor kid doesn't know what he's gotten himself into," one of the attackers mocked.

"Hey, boy, according to our teammate, a boy with purple hair and blue eyes attacked our group guarding the mine, and according to people around the city, he was seen heading this way," the leader said as he observed Trunks. "Seems like you fit that description."

Trunks growled in anger as he now understood what was happening. "They're with the group of bandits that were at the mine," he realized. Glancing at the time machine, the Saiyan couldn't contain his anger anymore. He let out a loud scream as he released his Ki. The Bandits stared in horror as the ground around Trunks began to crack, and chunks of the earth started levitating around him. "Don't just stand there! Attack!" the Bandit leader ordered. Each of the Bandits launched their attacks at the Saiyan teen; however, he quickly avoided every single one. "Get him!" cried one of the bandits. Faster than anyone could react, Trunks disappeared and reappeared in front of the Bandit leader; his eyes widened when the half Saiyan's hand grabbed his neck and started applying pressure. The other four villains were stunned at how fast Trunks was.

"What are you waiting for?! This is your chance to attack!" the Boss bandit cried.

The four thieves launched their attacks at the Saiyan Prince once again; they hit him in the back, and he was consumed in a small explosion. The smoke cleared away slowly, and once it was gone, the bandits stared in horror as the Son of Vegeta was still standing, without a single scratch, and still strangling their leader. Trunks finally let go of the boss when he lost consciousness and turned to face the other bandits. He took a step forward, which frightened the robbers as they took a step back before turning around and running away. Trunks sped after them and struck them all in the head one by one, knocking them all out. With that over with, Trunks sighed as he took one last look at his broken time machine.

"As if it wasn't bad enough that I don't have the parts to alter the machine, and now I can't fix it, either! I'm pretty much stuck here!" Trunks thought. He figured leaving the machine might bring some unwanted attention if anyone found it and tried to return it to him, or use it for their own benefits. He walked over to the machine and pressed the button; the machine disappeared in a puff of smoke and returned to its capsule form. "At least that still works."

Trunks picked up the capsule and put it in his capsule case. He turned to the direction of his guild and started walking there slowly. As he walked, he realized that he was back at square one; no way to get home or contact his world. He sighed again as he hoped he would figure out a new way to get home.

After the talk with Wendy and Master Makarov, Gohan decided to go see Mirajane with the rest of the group. He was told that all of the guild members that went ahead should already be there. The three were currently riding the train while Wendy was talking about the adventures she had ever since she joined the Fairy Tail guild. Gohan listened to every word the Sky mage said, thinking her tales would give him an insight on what type of challenges he would face. "So, some guild members went missing for seven years because the ghost of the first master Mavis saved you from a dragon attack by putting you to sleep for seven years?" Gohan asked inquisitively.

Wendy nodded. "I know it's hard to believe—"

"No, no. I believe you," Gohan assured her. He was already used to weird stuff happening; He had traveled through the galaxy a few times, fought super-powered beings, personally met both Kamis of Earth and above all that, he was half alien. The train ride finally ended, and the three got off to find the others. They eventually found Natsu frantically running around the city with Happy flying at his side.

"NATSU!" Makarov yelled, getting the Fire Mage's attention.

"Oh, hey master!" Natsu greeted as he approached the three.

"Natsu, where were you going?" Gohan inquired.

"I'm going to find some food," Natsu replied as he rubbed his stomach, which made the master sigh.

"Can you please tell us where the others are?" Wendy asked.

"Sure! See that big castle over there? Turn right, and you'll find it right in front of you," Happy answered as he pointed to the castle.

Makarov nodded. "Thank you—" The master was interrupted by Natsu's antics.

"FOOD! FOOD! I'M HUNGRY!" the Fire Dragon Slayer shouted with his trusty exceed flying behind him saying, "Aye, sir!" Master Makarov sighed at this while Gohan and Wendy laughed. The three followed Happy's directions and eventually found a small medical center; they went inside, and Makarov made his way to the nurse. "Excuse me, miss, but may I ask where Mirajane's room is?" he asked the nurse. She smiled and pointed to a door with the number 11 on it. "Thank you," the master said. "No problem," the nurse replied. Makarov turned to the kids and motioned them to follow him; before they could reach the door for room 11, Jet and Droy came out of the room. "Hey master, everyone is inside. We're just going to get some food for them," Jet explained. "Fine, take care," Makarov told them as he watched them leave the medic center.

He opened the door to see all of the members that came before him aside from Natsu, Happy, Jet, and Droy. Gray was standing and looking at Mirajane while trying to ignore Juvia, who was constantly trying to hug him. Levy, Laki, and Lucy were sitting on the couch. Elfman looked really pissed off. Lisanna was sitting on the bed next to her sister. Erza stood there folding her arms over her chest; she noticed the master enter and greeted him. "Hello, master."

"Hello, Erza," Makarov greeted back before turning his attention to Mirajane. "How are you doing, Mira?"

The Fairy Tail Poster girl smiled. "I'm fine. I was just tired, nothing serious," she answered, although the master was eyeing her suspiciously.

"Master, why were you late?" Lucy asked from the couch.

"I went back to tell Macao and Wakaba what to do till I return. Besides, Wendy and I had to talk Gohan into coming. Apparently, he thought that he would cause trouble if he came," Makarov explained, which made the half Saiyan blush and look to the floor while scratching the back of his neck.

"Gohan, you won't cause trouble. You are a member of the guild now; you can come visit whenever you like," Mirajane scolded him.

Although a bit embarrassed, Gohan nodded and said, "Thank you. So, what happened to you, Mira?"

"I went to Mr. Smith's to get the details of the job. The job was to get rid of a group of bandits that were located at mine just outside the city. There were rumors that these bandits had the ability to use forbidden magic," Mira elucidated. Makarov, Gohan, and Wendy were listening with interest while the others just stood there since Mirajane had already told them what happened up until the part where her magic was being absorbed. "When I got there, two bandits were guarding the mine's entrance. As soon as I transformed into Satan Soul, they called for backup from the cave. I knocked all of them unconscious, but two of them managed to escape from that attack and were able to use the forbidden magic. Their magic was small threads that could absorb Magic power from the user," Mira continued. From here, the other members shared the same look of interest as Gohan, Wendy, and Makarov.

"My magic was getting drained, and I could feel my body getting weaker." After that, Mira went silent. She was thinking that telling the next part would be unwise, especially with her brother already pissed, but she didn't want to lie to her family. With a sigh, Mira continued. "Not to mention that these bandits were going to force themselves on me," she whispered, hoping that no one would hear her.

Although nobody had heard since her voice was too low, Gohan managed to hear what she said with no trouble due to his Saiyan hearing. "Wait, what?" Gohan asked, making all eyes turn to him.

"Is there a problem, Gohan?" Gray questioned.

"I thought I heard Mirajane say something," Gohan responded, unsure if he should tell them what Mira said.

"I did." All eyes went back to Mira. "The bandits were going to force themselves on me," she managed to repeat. To say Elfman was pissed was a massive understatement. He looked like he was about to go on a rampage till he found those bandits and beat the living daylights out of them. Lisanna noticed this and put her hand on her brother's shoulder. "Calm down, Elfman! Since Mirajane is here, that means that she was able to escape!" The younger siblings turned to Mira to confirm if that was true. "Right?" "Well, I was barely conscious when I heard a huge slam as if something was pounded into the ground, not to mention ground also shook. After a few seconds, I heard another slam," Mira went on.

"What do you think happened?" Erza asked.

"After the two slams, I did feel myself being carried and ended up here. I did manage to see who it was that rescued me, though," Mira said.

"Was it someone we knew?" Levy inquired.

Mira shook her head. "He was someone I met here before going to the mission. However, I didn't get his name."

"What did he look like?" Erza asked.

Mirajane used her finger to cover her mouth while she mused. "I do remember that he had purple hair and blue eyes," she recalled.

Erza and the rest of the members turned to Laki, who shifted nervously. "Why are you all looking at me?" she asked.

"Laki, do you have a brother by any chance?" Levy, who was sitting beside her, questioned.

"What gave you that idea I'm the only one with purple hair in this world?" Laki asked. Erza kept her stare at her. "Come on guys, this isn't funny. If I did have a brother, I would know."

Gohan, on the other hand, was deep in his own thoughts. "Purple hair and blue eyes, that sounds like Trunks! Is he in this world, too? I should try to sense his Ki." He closed his eyes and focused, but he wasn't able to sense his friend's Ki. He was only able to sense the Ki of the other members and the people in the center. "It looks like Ki sensing is limited here."

Wendy noticed Gohan had spaced out and asked him, "Gohan, are you alright?"

Gohan snapped out of his trance. "Huh? Umm- Yeah, I'm fine, Wendy." He then turned to Mirajane to suggest something. "Mira, if he was the one who brought you here, then maybe the nurse saw him and got his name or something."

"You might be right," Mira agreed.

"I'll go ask her," Gohan said as he rushed out of the room.

Unknown to him, Erza was staring at him as he left the room. "He seems like he knows something," she thought. After a few minutes, Gohan returned. "So what did she tell you?" Erza asked him.

Gohan shook his head. "Although her description was exactly like Mirajane's, she wasn't able to get his name."

Just then, Natsu kicked the door down. "Now that was a hefty meal!" he screamed, making everyone sigh. Natsu then noticed a pouch lying on the table next to Mirajane's bed. "Umm- guys, did anyone bring a bag with him?" he inquired.

"No."

"Nope."

"Not mine."

All of these were answers to the question. Mirajane took the bag and laid it on her lap; she opened it and was surprised to find what was inside. Inside of it were a lot of jewels. She stared at it until she realized that there was a note there, too. "What's this?" Mirajane wondered, picking up the paper. She unfolded it and began reading. "Dear Mirajane, this bag contains 750,000 jewels from the one million of the mission. Since you did most of the work, I took 250,000 because I needed it and left the 750,000. P.S. I hope that you have a quick recovery. Sincerely," There was no name written next to "sincerely;" so it was likely the person that wrote this was the same person who saved her, and he didn't want her to know his name.

"Well, it looks like he's a good man," Lucy stated.

"Juvia agrees, but Juvia is wondering how he knew that Mirajane was on a mission," Juvia said.

"Wait, since he took the 250,000 that means that he was also doing the same mission. If that's the case, then Mr. Smith should know who he is," Gohan suggested.

The guild members stared at him before Levy spoke up. "He's right. So if we go ask Mr. Smith, he might know this guy's name and his guild." Before Makarov was able to choose who would go, Gohan had already dashed out the room, screaming, "I'm on it!"

This act confirmed Erza's suspicion about Gohan. "That's it, he definitely knows something, and I'm going to find out what!" she thought before turning to Makarov. "Master," she said, getting his attention. "I'll go follow Gohan, I want to make sure he doesn't get lost." Makarov eyed Erza before nodding, and Titania left the room while the others tried to figure out what happened.

Gohan was now standing in front of the gate; he was having trouble trying to convince the guard to let him in. "But I have to see Mr. Smith, he has some information that I need to know!" the boy urged.

The Guard only shook his head. "Go play somewhere else, kid. I don't have time for games."

Erza slowly walked toward Gohan; after hearing the last part of the argument, she commanded, "Open the gate!"

Gohan turned around to see the red-haired women "Erza!" he nearly screamed.

"Do you have a good reason to meet Mr. Smith?" the guard asked.

Gohan spoke up. "I told you why we need to meet him, he has some information we want!"

The guard shook his head once more. "Unless you tell me what type of information you want, I'm afraid I can't open the door."

Erza took over. "We wanted to meet Mr. Smith because our guild member got injured doing the job that he posted in our guild. According to our friend, someone saved her there, and we want information on the person who saved her since he was also trying to finish the job," she informed the guard calmly.

"Do you mean that white-haired girl and the purple-haired boy?" the guard questioned. Erza nodded in confirmation. The guard went to his small shack and opened the gate; He came out a few seconds later. "I'm sorry for the interruption. I have already informed Mr. Smith of your arrival, please forgive me."

"There is no reason to apologize, you're just doing your job," Erza said with a smile. Gohan and Erza walked up to the castle's main door, where they were greeted by a maid. "Mr. Smith is waiting for you, please follow me," she instructed. Erza and Gohan nodded and followed the maid. They were walking down a long hall until the maid stopped; she turned to Gohan and Erza before pointing at the door next to her. "Mr. Smith is in this room. You may enter," she informed. "Thank you," Gohan thanked her politely. The maid smiled before leaving the two at the room door. Erza walked up to the door and knocked. "Come in," was heard from the other side. Erza slowly opened the door and saw Mr. Smith at his desk doing some paperwork. Mr. Smith looked up from his work and met Erza's brown eyes. "Oh, please come in," he insisted, leaving his work. Erza looked back at Gohan before motioning for him to follow her. "Please have a seat," the client offered them. Erza and Gohan thanked the man before sitting on the two chairs that were right in front of his desk. "Is there any particular reason for you to visit?" Mr. Smith inquired.

"Well, to be brief, one of our guild members took up a job you posted and was injured in the process," Erza explained.

Mr. Smith looked at Erza. "Do you mean Mirajane?" he asked.

Gohan nodded. "She told us that someone came to her aid, and we were wondering if you know who the one that saved her was," he added.

"Ah, as a matter of fact I, do," Mr. Smith said as he recalled his meeting with the Saiyan Prince. "He was a nice boy. His hair was purple, weird hair color if you ask me. Blue eyes, white shirt, and a coat. His shirt did have a weird symbol on it; it was a large C. He also wielded a sword."

"Description is exactly like Trunks except for his clothes. However, the big C has to be the capsule cooperation logo," Gohan pondered.

"Did you happen to get his name?" Erza questioned.

Mr. Smith shook his head. "Sorry, but I don't remember him saying it."

Gohan sighed, something Erza took notice of before nodding. "Sorry for wasting your time, sir," Gohan said, standing up. "No worries," the client assured. "If you'll excuse us now." Erza and Gohan both bowed to him before leaving. They were outside the gate when Gohan muttered, "Looks like we didn't get a lot of information." "Gohan," Erza said sternly. "Yes?" Gohan answered. "You're hiding something, aren't you?" she accused him. Gohan gulped before asking, "What do you mean?" "Ever since Mira told us the description of her savior, you've been acting strange," Erza explicated. "Don't try to hide it!" Gohan was nervous while Erza watched him very intensely. He finally decided to give in and answer her. "Truth is, I think I know the person who saved Mirajane," Gohan confessed. Erza was now interested in what he had to say. "You do? Who is he?" she questioned inquisitively.

Gohan wasn't sure if telling the truth was the best idea, but there was no turning back now. "His name is Trunks. He was a friend of mine back home," Gohan explained.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Erza asked.

"I didn't want to say anything until I was sure it was him," Gohan replied. "Every description matches his, but that shouldn't be possible." Erza was silent as Gohan pondered on whether his fellow Saiyan was actually on Earthland too. He shook his head in disbelief. "Please don't tell anyone till I'm sure it's him," he pleaded.

"Very well," Erza agreed before she began walking again.

"Erza," Gohan called, making the scarlet-haired mage look back at the Demi Saiyan. "Thanks."

Erza smiled. "No problem. Besides, it's a good idea to make sure first. Let's go; they're probably wondering why we're taking so long." The two started walking again; as they trekked, a thought entered Erza's mind. "Gohan." The son of Goku looked at her. "Why do you find it difficult to believe that your friend could be on Earthland?"

Gohan's face suddenly turned sad and guilty as he replied, "Because the last time I saw him, he was dead… and it was my fault." Erza looked at the young boy with pity before she pulled him in for a hug. "Ow!" Gohan cried when his head banged against her armor.

It was already late at night when the son of Vegeta arrived at his guild hall. Once there, he was welcomed by Chelia. "How was your first mission?" she asked with interest.

"It was fine; it wasn't that hard, to be honest," Trunks answered.

Chelia nodded. "You beat Jura, so these missions shouldn't be that hard for you," she said.

"Oh, how's he doing, by the way?" Trunks asked.

"He's fine; he was only tired, not severely injured," she informed him.

Trunks nodded. "Well, if he's resting, then I'll rest, too. Can you tell Ooba that I completed the mission?" he asked.

"No problem," she said as she watched him leave. Trunks wandered to a nearby open field that was close to the Lamia Scale guild. The field had a clear view of the sky; Trunks sat down before lying on his back to stare at the night sky. Stargazing was one of his favorite ways to pass the time; it was the only thing to do in his timeline since everything else was destroyed. He also decided that he would take this chance to think about his current situation. Closing his eyes, he started to remember what he did throughout the day. First, he had to face the Wizard Saint Jura. After that, he went on his first mission and beat two bandits, saving Mirajane of the Fairy Tail guild in the process. Next, he learned that his time machine had dated this timeline as 24 years past his own. Finally, the time machine was badly damaged because he let his guard down; it pissed him off in every possible way. "Well, this sure was a busy day," he thought. The lone warrior didn't realize that he spent nearly an hour with his eyes closed in the field.

"Trunks?" a voice called his name. The half Saiyan opened his eyes and saw Chelia standing beside him.

"Chelia? What are you doing here?" Trunks asked as he sat up.

"I came to see what you were doing," she answered.

"I just like to stare at the stars; it's just a hobby," he replied.

Chelia looked up at the sky. "Well, it is a beautiful night," she stated.

"Yeah," Trunks agreed while smiling.

"May I join you?" the God Slayer inquired. Trunks looked at her before patting the area next to him. Chelia smiled and sat down next to Trunks. "Trunks?" she spoke, getting the time traveler's attention. Chelia wasn't sure if she should say this, but it was too late. "Well, I overheard you telling Ooba that you're from another dimension," she confessed.

Trunks had a blank stare on his face. "Yeah, so?" he questioned.

"Wait, you're not mad?" Chelia asked him in surprise.

"Why should I be? You guys did welcome me here without hesitation, you should at least know the truth about me," Trunks responded. Chelia sighed in relief. "Have you told this to anyone else?" he asked her.

The Sky mage shook her head. "Nope. I didn't think it would be a good idea since I wasn't supposed to know that either," she answered.

"I don't want you to tell anyone, either; I don't know what'll happen if the news spreads," Trunks told her.

"I wasn't planning to, anyways," Chelia said.

"Thanks."

Chelia smiled before she looked at Trunks with a new question on her mind. "Can you tell me about your dimension?" she inquired.

Trunks wasn't really sure what to say. He couldn't tell her about him being from the future or the past before the androids came and devastated his home. "I'm sorry, I don't think I want to talk about that now," he replied. Chelia nodded when she saw his pained expression. "Sorry, just forget I asked," she said. The two members of Lamia Scale were now lying next to each other while staring at the stars in the sky. "Oh, I almost forgot." Chelia sat up, remembering what her master sent her to do. "Ooba sent me here to tell you to return to the guild hall since there's a storm heading this way tonight." Trunks then stood up and offered his hand to Chelia; she took it and was pulled to her feet. "Well then, shall we get going?" Trunks asked. Chelia nodded and said, "Let's go!" The two then made their way back to the guild.

A/N: Chapter Five, done! Now I'm one step closer to reaching the chapter before I adopted this awesome fanfic. Sorry if the updating is taking too long, I just finished the first season of my other successful fanfic, Five Elements, and now I'm taking a break from it so I can focus on my other stories like this one and another one. Just a heads up, I changed the summary of this story, now Gohan and Mirai Trunks have been transported to Universe… 10. That's right, Zamasu's turf. I've got big plans involving that guy and his universe, which includes Black Goku, but that'll take some time. Also, I've put up two polls, one asking if I should include the Key to the Starry Heavens arc in this story and another asking if I should have the Demi Saiyans learn magic or not. The second one is just so I can see your opinions, I might still do it whether supported or not. One more thing, Revolve X had a few pairing ideas for this story, one being CheliaxGohanxWendy and the other being TrunksxMirajane. Let me know if you have other pairing ideas; put them in your reviews, which you should still send me. Well, gotta go; until we meet again!
