With the strange memories of the dream still in his mind, Trunks opened the door to enter his mother's workshop. As the door mechanically slid into the wall, smells and sounds assaulted Trunks. His heightened Sayian senses responded faster then instantly to the acidic smell of his mother's welding torch and the sharp hissing sound it produced. However, what affected him much more then these responses of the ears or nose, was what he saw.
Resting before Trunks were the skeletal remains of his time machine. The entire craft had been stripped of its outer casing and the components lay strewn across Bulma's workshop. And crouching at a small laptop at the base of the machine, in a position that she had occupied so many times before was his mother.
"Uhh mom?" Trunks began to ask curiously
"Hi Trunks. Good Morning! Did you sleep well? That's good! I had the most amazing dream and then I got these plans to improve the time machine" Bulma fired out a rapid response to Trunk's question, her eyes never leaving the laptop.
"Lemme guess. Goku spoke to you in a dream and told you to redesign the time machine so I can go to different dimensions. Am I right?" Trunks smiled as he plopped down next to his mother
"Exactly right Trunks" Bulma finally torn her eyes from the computer screen, "Here, I'll show you how it works okay?" She hit a few buttons on the laptop and brought up an image of a redesigned time machine. "Okay the basic quantum flux capacitor is the same but I refitted the gyrostabilizers to accommodate a heavier load since I had to completely scrap the original chaise. Now it's made of a more durable poly-alloy based titanium as apposed to the mono-alloy I had before. Since you need to find Dragonballs in alternate dimensions I also redesigned the Dragon radar. Now what it does is sent a dimensional ping out into subspace and when it gets a response, it can pinpoint the dimension. According to your grandpa's theory that every dimension vibrates at a different frequency, the new radar should be able to pick up on the single pretty precisely. Then you just have to hit the dimensional jump system and you're on your way!"
Trunks nodded his head and took a few moments to process the information before he asked his mother a simple question, "Okay mom...now could you repeat the part where you explained about the things?"
Bulma blushed, "Sorry honey. I went into science mode didn't I? Well basically what I did was refit the whole time machine so that it can pick up on the locations of the Dragon balls based on what the radar indicates. That any better?"
"Much, thanks mom" Trunks smiled "I'm kind worried about this whole thing to tell you the truth. I mean, different dimensions?"
Bulma face suddenly took on a warm, mothering glow. And her voice adopted that same calming tone that could even bring a Sayian prince out of his rage, "Trunks. All I can tell you is that in all my years, Goku has never steered us wrong. If he says this can be done, I believe him. And I know you can pull it off"
Now Trunks blushed. "Thanks a lot mom. When will this all be ready?"
"I just need 2 more days Trunks. You might want to take that time to stock up on supplies." Bulma went right back to her work.
"Yeah. Good idea mom. I'm gonna go down to the city, then I'll visit Koren and get some senzu beans." Trunks called over his shoulder as he ran out of his mother's workshop and launched into the sky.

The two days seemed to crawl by for Trunks. This was a new adventure for him, and while he had enjoyed this time of peace his Sayian blood yearned for combat. And now he had an opportunity to travel to new dimensions, and if he succeeded, him friends would finally return.
Now he stood before the new time machine. It looked very similar to it's former self. It was slightly larger however, more suited to its new duties. Trunks himself looked different as well. He remembered how young he had been when he first traveled into the past. He was stronger now, wiser, more experience and an infinitely better fighter. That's what happens when you train with someone like my father he mused in his head.
Now with a nod of determination and a final hug from his mother, Trunks slung his sword over his back and climbed into his time machine, giving a brief glance at the word his mother had carved below "Hope".
"Salvation" Trunks said to no one, "Perfect"
The demi-Sayian hit a few switch and the time machine began to rise into the sky. He attached the Dragon radar to the docking port inside the cockpit and activated the small device. It beeped a few times then the green circular screen displayed a series of numbers. Trunks entered these into the time machine.
"Dimensional coordinates inputted." Trunks ran off his mental checklist "cockpit sealed, all ready to go" Then with a loud thunderclap the machine flicked and vanished.
What will Trunks encounter in his first new dimension? I promise that these next chapters will be longer too.
