This is a sequel, so if you haven't read "For all the rest of Time." This will make absolutely no sense. Read "For all the rest of Time.", drop me a review, and then come back to this one.


...Well I'm back. I know I said I was going to write a Gundam or Tenchi/Ryoko story next but I just couldn't find the motivation. It's hard to write about them when they aren't even on the air anymore, Oh well. I'm trying to listen to my reviews, and one thing you all want seems to be more Suzuka and Goken. I hope to give it to you but I intended this story line for Jim/Aisha and it will be Jim/Aisha first and foremost. Anyway I hope to get back my old reviewing crowd plus some new ones. Well here we go...





~~:*:~~Start OLS Announcer~~:*:~~

The past is an everlasting reminder of what has transpired, what has lead us to this point in our lives. Some people treasure the past, looking to it with awe, and hoping to someday live up to its example. Others despise it, seeing it only as a daunting reminder of ones failures. Although the past is in the past, its very essence my come forward to threaten the future. When that happens, today's warriors must stand tall, and protect their time. However, we may find that the past has something to teach us after all...

~~:*:~~End OLS Announcer~~:*:~~


A few months have passed after we last left our friend's lives. Jim and Aisha eventually returned to heyphong and decided to run the bounty hunting division of Starwind and Hawking. Suzuka moved to Earth with Goken, and managed to convince him to do the same there. Although on Earth, Suzuka and Goken visited frequently with the help of instant transmission, so it was like the two were just next door neighbors. Gene and Melphina were married a short time later, and tended to the shipping aspect of the company. Gene had wanted a big wedding like Jim, mostly to show Fred that he was not 'available' anymore, but was convinced to just elope. Seeing how Suzuka didn't want to plan another wedding, and Melphina didn't have any relatives that could attend. Speaking of Mel, she is now two months pregnant with a little girl, who Gene is dead set on naming Miranda.

The peaceful setting of a beautiful autumn morning on Earth was shattered, rather, obliterated by the crashing sound of a warrior being pummeled to the ground. Goken forced himself to stand; wiping the small trickle of blood away that seeped from the corner of his mouth. It was at this point that he really wished Suzuka hadn't answered the phone this morning.

~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

"Goken, are you awake?" Suzuka's voice was calm as she cracked his door open. They had moved in not 5 months ago, but their relationship was, well, a little difficult. At the present moment they were just two people who got along really well, neither seeming to put anything else into their lives together. It was, and still is, hard to believe that Goken (the lighthearted and easygoing Saiyan) and Suzuka (the levelheaded always-serious assassin) could ever get along, but as Jim put it; "opposites attract." As her eyes adjusted the low light in his bedroom, she discovered that he was in fact still asleep. A small upward curve graced the corners of her lips as she studied his position. He lay on his back, sprawled out across the bed, legs and arms protruding from the sheets with his head hanging completely off one corner, mouth wide open sawing more logs than a Canadian lumberjack on speed.

She smiled now, a kind of genuinely beautiful smile that can only come from someone who had hidden it from the outside world all her life. She liked him, she did think it was more, but she could not bring herself to say love. Nevertheless, she was quite fond of him; everything was so simple with Goken. He had a way of making the best out of every situation. She was convinced you could tie him up on a set of train tracks and he would ask for a penny. Not that a train could hurt him, but you get the point. Her thoughts were interrupted as she remembered the phone in her hand.

Goken's eyes opened and found a very peculiar sight in front of him. Suzuka was in his doorway, standing on the ceiling!

"Uh?? Suzuka, how did you get up there?"

A puzzled look came across the former assassin's face. "Up where?"

"YOU'RE ON THE CELING!!" Goken said still observing the peculiar sight before him. Although he was still in the process of waking up, he could of sworn that he heard a muffled laugh followed by a snort (...yep that's right, I'm making Suzuka a snorter...) as she covered her mouth with her free hand.

"That's because you re head is upside down."

"Oh?" Goken said discovering that she was right and righting himself on the edge of the bed.

"Here, you have a phone call." She said handing him the phone. In the split second it took to hand the phone over, Goken's finger slightly touched Suzuka's hand. The brief contact caused a chill to run through Goken, he had only touched her skin once before and was rewarded by the instant sensation then too. He had never told her about a Saiyan's telepathic powers, but was sure she knew by the look one her face whenever they did touch. It was a cold, dark, and ungiving feeling that he felt her hide away almost as soon as he saw it. Every time they had started to get closer than just friends, she seemingly retreated away. He knew there was something horrible in her past, but it was always best not to push these things, if she wanted him to know, she would tell him.

"Hello?" Goken answered as Suzuka left his room.

"Goken, this is Commander Char with the South City P.D. We have someone on the loose with some sort of disintegrator weapon!"

"Disintegrator weapon?"

"Yes, as best we can tell. All we can find of the victims is their clothing with a hole in it, usually in the chest. Most of the residential district has been wiped out and... hold on a second I'm getting a report from an officer."

Goken took this chance to haphazardly pull on his clothes. Ever since the Dragon balls were used by Jim people began to flock back to Earth. Fortunately the Earth had caught up with the rest of the galaxy's technology over time and was able to handle the increased 'tourism'. *Pitty,* Goken thought to himself. *The Dragon balls wont even exist for another three months.*

"Goken!"

"Yea, I'm here." Goken said placing the phone back to his face.

"There seems to be only one perpetrator. He was just spotted leaving the city and heading to the rural areas to the east."

"Ok, I'll leave now and see if I can find him. What type of vehicle was he in?"

"Well, uh.. actually he was flying!" The commander said disbelievingly staring at the paper in his hand.

"Ok, then he shouldn't be too hard to spot." Goken left his room. *Flying huh? Well that's no big deal, anyone with a basic knowledge of ken control is capable of flight after enough training. Even Suzuka, well, she needs to keep working on her control.* Goken chuckled remembering their last attempt, it had taken him a good fifteen minutes to get her out of the top of that tree.

"Gotta go, the city needs me!" Goken yelled in his best superhero voice as he ran through the kitchen and out the door bursting into flight. Suzuka nodded, small smile playing at the corner of her mouth, and then sipped her tea.

~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~

Goken had never expected to find a pushover, it took a lot of hard training to learn to fly, but he had never expected THIS. A monster, for lack of a better word, hovered over him like a hawk watching his prey. Two black wings, more armor than anything that would aid in flight, hung from his shoulders like a cape. A green and black exo-skeleton adorned his body, and formed a crown like structure on top of his head. He knew very well who it was, but was still not believing his eyes. *It cant be him, it just cant be him!* Goken's concentration was broken as the creature extended his arms. Placing his two white hands together at the wrist is preparation for an attack that Goken knew all too well.

"KAAAAMEHHHH!!!!"

"No." Goken said aloud watching the creature before him. All doubts were disproved now, this was him. Jim was the only one alive other than himself that new the Kamahamaha wave, and Goken had only taught it to him as a basic energy focusing method, not an attack.

"HAAAAMEHHHH!!!!" The creature yelled as he retracted his arms back like the cocking of a gun. The yellow ball of energy formed in his hands pulsating with raw power.

*This is going to be rough.* Goken thought increasing his power forcing the flowing power of a Super Saiyan to increase around him. The monsters last attack had taken a lot out of him, he wasn't even sure he could dodge this one.

"Are you ready Goken!!" The monsters maniacal voice sounded as the ball of energy grew larger in his hands. A sinister laugh escaped his lips, a laugh of true power that accompanied the firing of his attack.

"HAAAAAAAA!!!!!" The wave of energy hurtled towards its target, Goken never moved. If the wave hit the Earth is would cause major damage, he couldn't move, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

Suddenly a flash of royal blue encased in a gold light sped past the defensive warrior. Punching the crest of the wave with his bare fist, he altered its course and sent it flying out into outer space, where it detonated in the atmosphere. Before Goken could recognize him, he was attacking the monster, successfully connecting an elbow to its face driving it to the ground.

Jim descended back down to the ground and threw a Sensu bean at Goken.

"What took you so long?" Goken asked popping the bean in his mouth.

"Well I'm sorry! Its takes a long time for energy signals to travel all the way to Heyphong you know."

Both warriors fell silent as they felt the monsters power increasing. Slowly a form stepped out of the dust created by its landing.

"It can't be!" Jim said as he got his first good look at the figure.

"Oh it is." Perfect Cell's eyes narrowed. "And do I have something in store for you two."


...Ok, I know the "bring back Cell thing" has been done to death but don't worry; you will see the method behind my madness in the next chapter. I am sorry to say that the first couple of chapters will just be teasers, and I will be kind of slow posting them. I do not want to get into the bulk of the story until Toonami has finished airing the Buu saga on Cartoon network. If you cant figure out why Gene wants to name his daughter Miranda, just watch the "Gravity Jailbreak" episode of OLS. I also hope to have about one chapter devoted to Gene and Melphina, seeing how I have been neglecting them. Like I said it will all make since in the next chapter (Lord I hope so). Until then, peace out and please review...
