Disclaimer: I do not own DB/Z/GT
A/N : Well, sorry it took me so long to get this out...I've been really busy as of late. Since it's been so long, and this story is somewhat complicated, I will provide a recap.
1. Trunks and Pan are mates, and they have been ripped apart and sent 500 years into the future by two unknown entities, one Organic, and one Artificial.
2. Pan has been told by the Technocore, a race of Artificial Intelligences, that she has been brought to the future to save all of existence...they just can't seem to tell her how to do it. She is currently exploring the human civilization known as the Web.
3. Trunks, however, is currently in an Ouster colony. Ousters are humans, but they have adapted to life in zero-gravity, and are enemies to the Web.
4. Trunks has very little idea what is going on...all he knows is that he is in the future, and an invention of his mother's helped to save the human race when the Earth was destroyed.
5. Bulma and Vegeta, still in the...present, I guess you could say.....are aware that Trunks and Pan are missing, and are working to find them, even though they have been 'assured' that they are fine.
Also, here is a list of terms: (some of these are redundant from the above list)
farcaster - what connects the various Web worlds....step through one on Planet A, and you are immedately on Planet B, no matter how many light years away it is. You can choose which of the thousands of planets in the Web you wish to travel to.
Technocore - a race of Artificial Intelligences, which evolved from the first computer programs into sentient life.
Ousters - humans, but they have adapted to life in zero-gravity, and are enemies to the Web.
Church of the Final Atonement (also know as the Shrike Church) - A radical religious group which worships the Shrike, a monster that lives on the planet Hyperion. They also sponsor the Shrike pilgrimage to that planet. They have billions of followers, as well as temples on almost every world in the Web.
Hyperion - a backwater, non-colony world that is host to the Shrike pilgrimage, as well as various other odd phenomena (you'll see later what I mean!)

OK, that's enough......too long for it's own good if you ask me. Now, on with chapter 4...

"HOLY SHIT!" Trunks could not think of anything else to say as he stared at the scene stretched before him. He had totally underestimated Raz's explanation of the the Outer Rim - it wasn't 'exciting' - it was downright breathtaking.
They were outside of the Biosphere - on top of it really. The inside of the place was magnificent enough - millions of vines, trees, enormous red and blue flowers, and various other plants entertwining to create walls, hallways, buildings, platforms, and everything else a person could imagine....Trunks had felt like he was in Heaven the first time he laid eyes on the inner Biosphere. But now...if the inside was Heaven, what was this? The entire Sphere was spread out before him, surrpunded by the vast vacuum of space; he was awestruck by it's enormity.
The pod Raz and Trunks shared floated leisurely above the green mass of plant life, and Raz sighed happily as he gazed at the wonders of his home.
"I really love coming up here," He said, more quietly than Trunks had ever heard him speak. Trunks grinned at Raz's wistful countenance, but he couldn't help but feel a little homesick, staring at the green beauty below him. It was certainly wonderful, but for Trunks, nothing could ever replace the beauty that was Earth. It stung him greatly that the Earth no longer existed in this time, but what upset him more was that he could not figure out a way to get back to the past, and possibly prevent that destruction from ever happening. He knew, of course, that he would create an alternate reality, but any reality with the Earth in it, to Trunks anyway, was a reality worth creating.
Getting home, though, that was the biggest problem. He wanted to be home more than anything in the universe, and he missed Pan more than he would have thought possible. Clearly the Ousters had no such ability to travel through time, nor did they have any desire to figure it out. He didn't even know if they had the kind of technology he would require - they were advanced, certainly, but Ouster technology served the needs of Ousters, not some rogue time-traveling hybrid. They were quite kind to him, but he didn't feel comfortable asking them to try to build a time machine - it just didn't seem right, somehow. The machines they used were simply to promote animal and plant life, and to fight with the Web humans, if necessary. Another problem was the lack of computers - Trunks knew that a computer was absolutely necessary in the construction and operation of a time machine.
"Ok, now for the fun part," Raz said, breaking Trunks out of his silent reverie.
"Fun part? I could do this for hours," Trunks said. Raz laughed and reached into a small compartment in the side of the pod.
"This," he said, holding up a small silver blob, "Is why Ousters come up to the Outer Rim."
Trunks examined the blob curiously. It looked like a a very large ball of mercury, only Trunks figured Raz wouldn't be holding it with his bare hands if that's what it really was. Suddenly, Raz tossed the ball of liquid metal at Trunks' face. Trunks dodged it easily, but was shocked when it turned back on him in mid air and smacked right into the back of his head.
"AAAUGH! Get it off!" He yelled as the liquid metal began to engulf his face.
"Just chill, Trunks. It won't hurt you."
"Like hell it won't! I'm gonna suffoca...mmmughnmmmfff!" Trunks couldn't speak as the blob covered up his mouth and nose completely. He had no idea why Raz was trying to kill him now - he had seemed so nice...
"Just breathe normally," Raz laughed as Trunks struggled to pull the blob off. Trunks tried to relax, but the thing wrapping itself around his face wasn't helping much. He was instinctively claustrophobic, and this was epitome of being closed in. He found, however, that even though the blob had worked its way into his mouth, he could still breathe if he tried. He had just been too freaked out earlier to notice.
The metal spread itself down Trunks' neck and began to cover his torso. It gave him a creepy feeling, but he was a little calmer now that he could breathe. Soon, his entire body was engulfed in the quicksilver metal - Trunks raised his hands to his face in awe and confusion.
"I can still see through this stuff." Trunks said quietly, "And...and it doesn't hurt. I really can't even feel it anymore."
"That's the beauty of it," Raz said with a smile, "Now, watch me." He opened the compartment and took out another blob. He lifted it over his head, and Trunks watched in amazement as the metal conformed itself to Raz's body.
** Wow, that looks pretty cool, ** Trunks thought, ** I'm sure I looked like an idiot trying to yank it off of me the whole time. **
"There," Raz said simply. All of his features were now a glimmering silver metal - Trunks was quite impressed with the new look.
"I guess I look neat like that too," Trunks said with a metallic smile.
"Yeah, these suits are great. They're actually alive, if you can believe that."
"Wow," Trunks said, not sure he really liked the idea of wearing some kind of weird metal creature. Raz grinned at Trunks and looked him right in the eye, and Trunks got a little nervous. What was Raz up to? He was just about to ask that very question when Raz pressed a small button on the wall and the pod dissappeared.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Trunks screamed as he realized he was now floating in the vacuum of space, with nothing to protect him or keep him alive. His mind was screaming about imploded lungs, bursted eyeballs, and various other nasty things that were about to occur to his body, but nothing happened. Trunks looked around in confusion, only to see Raz howling with laughter, grasping his stomach and kicking his legs happily.
"You...are...SO funnY!!!" Raz said as he laughed. Trunks noticed that his voice was slightly tinny, like it was being transmitted to him.
** Well, duh, stupid, ** Trunks thought, ** There's no sound in space, so it would HAVE to be transmitted to me. **
"Ok, you COULD have told me about all this stuff, Raz!" Trunks yelled, more than a little upset with his friend. Raz laughed even louder and began to slowly spin in space as his body shook from amusement.
"Oh, yeah, I could have told you, but where's the fun in that??" Raz said finally, once he had calmed down a bit.
"NOT funny."
"Haha! Yes it was! Yes it was! You should have seen the look on your face!"
"I'm sure it was priceless," Trunks said sarcastically, "Now, how the hell are we still alive? There's no way these suits can filter out air in space...there IS no air!"
"It's simple...they have oxygen stored in them. We can't stay up here forever, of course, but these suits have a charge of about 4 hours, which is plenty of time to explore."
"How do we do that?"
"Well, I'M going to use my wings," Raz said.
"WINGS??" Trunks hollered, gawking in amazement as two huge, glimmering, crimson bat wings unfurled from Raz's back. They almost looked like they were ethereal - ready to wisp away at the first gust of wind; if space had any wind, that is.
"Kami," Trunks said. This guy was just full of surprises. "Ok, then," he said, trying to compose himself, "How do I get around?"
"Just fly....duh."
Trunks rolled his eyes and did as he was told. Surprisingly, flying worked the same in vacuum as it did in atmosphere. Raz had already begun to float out over the surface of the Biosphere, using his wings to float on Kami-knew-what, and Trunks hurried to follow him.
"I'm using solar radiation particles to propel myself," Raz said, picking up on Trunks' unspoken question, "Obviously I wasn't born with any wings - an energy generator was implanted in my back when I was a child so I could come up here. Most Ousters have it done, though, I must say, your ability to fly on your own astounds me. Maybe you could teach me some day?"
"Maybe, but it's not a simple concept," Trunks said truthfully.
"No I suppose not - everyone would be able to fly if it was."
Trunks laughed.
"You know," he said, "This is really damn cool. I can't believe you guys have built this place. It's incredible."
"Yeah, it is." Raz said, in a mockingly arrogant tone.
"Well, aren't we smug."
"Always," Raz said.
They flew in silence for some time, simply taking in their surroundings. Raz finally broke the calm with a question.
"I guess you really miss your home, eh Trunks?"
Trunks looked at Raz for a moment - his depression actually ran quite deep, but he had done his best to hide it in the time he had been with the Ousters. Obviously he had still been quite transparent.
"Yeah, what gave me away?"
"Ah, I can just see it on your face. I know you're in awe of this place, but it's not your home."
"That's true. I miss Earth and my family so much. What makes it worse is that I have no idea why I got here or how to get back."
"That really sucks. At first I was pretty skeptical about your whole 'I'm from the past' story, but now, I dunno..."
"Well, yeah, it's farfetched, but it's true. I had a good life back home; a mate who loved me, parents who cared, even my dad, though he'd never admit it, and I was the head of a multi-billion dollar company. It doesn't get much better than that, even though I hated my job. I'd go back to it in a heartbeat if I could."
"Wow, that's kinda cool. So, what's Earth like, anyway?"
"Well, green...that's kinda why this Biosphere makes me a little depressed. I spent a lot of my childhood defending Earth, though I was never really the one to save it. I'd like to think I helped some, though. The thought of all of that being for nothing really bothers me."
"Yeah, I'll bet. If anything were to ever happen to the Sphere, I think I'd have a coronary."
"Shit, that would be awful. Trust me, I was on the Earth when it blew up the first time; it's not something anyone should have to experience."
"What? Blew up the first time? What the hell are you talking about?"
Trunks was pleased that he had thrown Raz for a loop - it was about time.
"It's not really common knowledge. The Earth was detroyed by a monster known as Majin Buu when I was only 8 years old. I just happened to be there when it happened."
"Well, ummm, I hate to tell you this, but that couldn't have happened, because you would be dead."
Trunks laughed and proceeded to explain to Raz about Dragonballs and wishes and the like. Raz seemed excited to hear about the possibility of making wishes, but Trunks assured him that the Dragonballs were no more. They had disappeared along with Goku after their last battle.
"Well, that sucks," Raz said.
"Yeah, but it was for the best. We really got too complacent because of them. Dying was no big deal to anyone. Hell, I lost count how many times Goku died. I think my dad died twice."
"This is all just fucking nuts," Raz said quietly. Trunks laughed.
"I'm really glad I've finally got you back on your heels, rather than the other way around."
"Don't worry, I've got plenty more up my sleeve," Raz said, recovering quickly.
"Ha, whatever."
It was just about this time that Trunks' suit started beeping quietly at him.
"What's that?" He asked, slightly alarmed.
"I'm not sure. We've got plenty of air, so it shouldn't be doing that yet."
"Maybe we should go back." Trunks said apprehensively.
"Yeah, maybe you're right," Raz said, just as his suit started beeping. "Dammit, what the hell? Did someone forget to charge these or something?"
Raz continued to mumble to himself as they made their way back to the pods, but Trunks tuned him out as a large surge of energy bombarded his senses.
** Woah, ** he thought, ** I've never felt anything like that before...**
"Raz, I think something's about to ha -"
Trunks was cut off as a huge flash of light blinded both of them for a short eternity. Raz cursed and retracted his wings, hoping nothing would be blasting towards them with that flash of light.
"What's going on???" Trunks yelled.
"I don't know!"
"I can sense a huge source of energy!" Trunks said as the light receeded, "I've never felt anything like it before.....Raz? Raz, what is it?"
Raz was staring past Trunks with a look of pure horror on his metallic face. Trunks whirled around quickly, and was met with the most terrifying sight of his life.
There spread out over what seemed like hundreds of thousands of miles, was the largest, most menacing fleet of warships Trunks had ever laid eyes on.
"FUCK!" Trunks screamed, grabbing onto Raz and blasting off as fast as he could, just as the entire fleet opened fire on the Biosphere.

A/N: Woah, cliffhanger! Nobody but Trunks in this chapter, sorry....he's the one with the exciting life at the moment, so...well, ya know. The next chapter will be out sooner than this one was, I think. I'm not gonna be as busy as I was the last couple of weeks. Also, thanks to Lady Tomboy for reviewing chapter 3.
