*** Crossing Over ***

Jera sat outside the place of Xander's parents watching all the people coming in slowly after the funeral Jera sat away from everyone with Scuffle at her feet and she rubbed the dog under the chin and she watched as Xander's best friend Luke came up to her and sat down next to her and she looked up at him and smiled politely.

"Yo Jay how you coping?" He asked.

Jera shrugged. "Okay I guess."

"Look about Xander's weapons he set it out in his will that they go to me but I'm not the one who's going to be facing demons and stuff on weekly basis. He wanted me to give them to you." Luke remarked quietly.

Jera nodded slowly. "Okay." She replied.

Luke looked at her. "You're still pissed about it being a catholic funeral aren't you?"

Jera looked up at him. "I might be. It doesn't matter I'm going home tomorrow anyway. My mother's going in to hospital and I have a board meeting to attend on her behalf." She replied.

"Ouch what about going in to your uncle's firm?" Luke asked.

Jera shrugged. "Depends I still have to do these papers on business management. No matter what way I go I'm suppose to be stuck being a yuppie for the rest of my life and I'm stuck forever losing him in every life I enter." She sighed.

Luke gave Jera a comforting hug. Jera let him hug her and she looked up at Rhoda standing there looking at her curiously.

Luke looked at Jera then to Rhoda then back to Jera again. "Look Jay you know as well as I do he was only suppose to protect you and the other two while Rajnan couldn't. It was a no-no situation." He said softly looking at Jera.

Jera sighed and she looked at Luke. "So what now? Who protects us now? Who protects this world? We're like open targets now, our whole lives have been turned around. Me, Izzy and Kris have been marked to protect this world and then someone's marked to protect us, but who's marked to protect the protector? It's unfair. Xander had Rhoda. He is... was a father now what she's going to grow up with hardly any memory of him cause she's like four years old."

Luke pulled Jera up to her feet and off to Xander's room and he shut the door and he sat Jera down on the bed and looked at her. "Get some sleep. Rhoda or what happened here in his life isn't for you to worry about. You have a life of your own."

Jera watched as Luke drew the curtains then left shutting the door and Jera heard him flip the sign over on the door. She looked round the room and stood up picking up the sword off it's hook on the wall and drawing it out of the scabbard and holding the blade upright looking at it, she turned to look at the staff and other vast weapons around the room. Jera placed the sword back in to it's scabbard placing it back on the wall. With that Jera sat on Xander's bed and she lay down and slipped under the covers curling up and sliding slowly off to sleep.

Goten sat in the car looking in the rear vision mirror at Orange star high school he then saw the teenagers piling out the gates Goten watched as Ubuu, Pan and Bra were the last. Goten honked the horn to get their attention.

They spotted the car and jogged over and Pan jumped in to the front seat. While Bra and Ubuu got in the back.

"We could of flown home Goten." Bra said sticking her head between the two front seats and began playing with the radio as Goten started the car up.

"Well Trunks is doing some meditation and he wants us all there when he comes out of it I think he's finally got some news." Goten explained as the car hoovered up off the ground and took off. Pan and Ubuu putting their seat belts on.

Ubuu nodded. "He found those people he got the names of didn't he?" He asked.

Goten shrugged. "I don't know Ubuu all I got told was to get you all together. Marron is meeting us there she has a board meeting. So hopefully by this time tomorrow we could be somewhere making these wishes. Then Trunks can finally get on with his life knowing he's done his part to help whoever these people are."

"Why is Trunks so intent on helping them I wonder?" Pan asked.

Bra shrugged as she found the perfect station. "Sweet got it. Goten you change the station and I will blast you in the back." She said from behind him.

Goten chuckled. "Yes your highness." he joked.

"That's right don't and don't you forget it." Bra replied and sat back putting her seat belt on.

******

Marron closed the door to the board room and she locked up sensing someone behind her she turned round and looked at Paris and blinked surprised.

"You haven't seen Goten have you? I need to talk to him?" Paris asked.

"Paris I'm working." Marron replied.

"Please I need to talk to him." Paris begged.

Marron sighed and she looked at Paris. "I'm going to meet him but I have to drop by my house for something. We've got a meeting to attend together at Capsule Corp."

"Can I come with you?" Paris asked.

Marron sighed. "I don't know Goten's still pretty upset with the break up."

"I know and I wanted to say I'm sorry." Paris said quickly as Marron began walking down the hall Paris following her.

"Fine but once that's done you have to leave us to our meeting." Marron replied.

******

Gohan looked outside of his office window to see Pan, Bra and Ubuu get in a car with Goten and the car speed off and Gohan frowned to himself.

"Since when does Goten pick them up from school?" He asked himself and he scratched his head.

Gohan picked up the phone and dialled Bulma's place.

******

Bulma heard the phone ring and she sighed from under the bench where she was working. She heard Vegeta then shout at her.

"Woman!!! Get that!"

"Get it yourself I'm not your slave Vegeta!!"

"Bulma you're completely impossible!!"

"Just answer the phone!!!"

Bulma heard Vegeta stalk down the hallway and she continued to work on the underbelly of her latest invention.

Vegeta snatched up the cordless. "This better be good!" He snapped.

"Whoa!! Um Vegeta hi." Gohan remarked on the other end.

"What is it?!" Vegeta demanded. "This better be good for you to waste my time."

"Errr... just wondering did you or Bulma phone up Goten to pick Bra up?"

Vegeta looked down at the phone. "What on earth for?" He asked.

"Well usually I take Pan home but she left with Goten, Bra and Ubuu in Goten's car."

Vegeta blinked. "Which way were they heading?" He asked.

"Well town it looked like, I don't know. I just thought if either you or Bulma had called him and asked him to pick something up from town on the way back."

"Town huh?? Well I got a feeling Trunks is behind this. Call up Kakarott and meet me there." Vegeta replied. "You have half an hour brat."

"Er okay. but Vegeta-"

*click* Vegeta hung up and he stalked down the hallway.

"Bulma it appears Kakarott's youngest and Trunks are up to something. I'm going to sort that boy out."

"Okay that's nice Vegeta have fun." Bulma called out in reply from her work room.

******

Trunks stood in the room watching Jera as she sat on the bed of her dead boyfriend. She'd been awake only a few minutes and Trunks looked down at her and he began to concentrate his energy together and Jera looked up. "I can sense you... but you're not Xander. And I can't see you. This room is protected if you try to harm-"

"Close your eyes Jera." Trunks whispered.

Jera looked round the room. "Oh gods I heard that..."

"I don't have much time I need some answers and I need them fast. So close your eyes and you'll be able to see me." Trunks remarked.

Jera nodded slowly and she closed her eyes everything was strangely the same except she could Trunks standing in the middle of Xander's room.

"I. I. I can see you and I know you... but this isn't possible you're like not of this world!" She remarked.

Trunks nodded. "I kind of figured that I need to know. What these demons are you're facing? Apparently I don't know how yet but they can cause the end of my world."

Jera looked at Trunks. "Well yah this world goes down your world goes down. Easy. Geez this is hard to explain further on that..." She said.

"I'm going to cross over to your world to help you out. Save both our worlds I need to know where I can find you." Trunks said.

"There's this place not far from the Oxford strip in Christchurch called the Club spelt C.L.V.B Friday night I'll be there." Jera replied.

Trunks nodded. "I'll see you then."

Jera nodded and watched as Trunks vanished and she opened her eyes and she looked round Xander's room. "Okay I've seen far too much dragonball for my liking I'm starting to talk to future characters from a series that didn't even last long. And now I'm rambling to myself..."

******

Trunks opened his eyes slowly to see the door to his office open and he watched as Goten lead everyone in and Trunks nodded. "Got the dragonballs?" He asked.

Pan nodded. "Yeah we didn't go anywhere without them."

"Good now we're just waiting on Marron."

The door shut as Marron and Paris walked in. "Not anymore." Marron smiled.

Goten's eyes widened. "Paris what are you doing here?" He exclaimed and looked at Marron. "And why did you bring her here?"

Marron looked at Goten with a glare that her mother had pulled many times before.

"She followed me round Goten and wouldn't go away until I promised to bring her to see you. What else was I suppose to do huh?" Marron growled.

"Whoa hokay hokay!" Goten remarked backing up sticking his hands up in the air in mock surrender.

"We don't have much time guys I can sense dad heading this way along with Gohan and Goku. So lets move." Trunks interrupted. "Goten carry Paris. We can't leave her here to tell them that we are up to something."

"But Trunks-" Goten began to protest.

"Don't Goten we don't have time." Trunks remarked and he opened the window and powered up and shot out flying.

"Yeah carry Paris." Bra giggled and jumped out the window following Trunks.

Goten growled annoyed and Ubuu, Pan and Marron took off after Trunks and Bra.

Paris looked at Goten. "I'm sorry for the way I ended it Goten." She said.

Goten nodded. "We'll talk about this later." He said scooping her up and powering up and flying out the window.

A few minutes later the door to the office was blasted open and Vegeta stalked in with Goku and Gohan behind.

"Empty..." Gohan said and he looked off to the west picking up the power levels all in a group.

"Well we'll wait til they land and I can use instant transmission to get us there and see what they're up to." Goku offered.

"Hmph! It'll be to late by then Kakarott. The boy knows we're on to him."

Gohan looked out the window and he looked to Vegeta as he jumped out the window powering up and flew off. Gohan looked at Goku and he sighed.

******

Robert ducked the attack and he hand sprung backward. He held his position and looked at the demon. "What do you want with me pal?"

"You're Jera's brother aren't you?" The demon asked.

Robert nodded slowly and he ran a hand through his black hair. "I am."

"Then having you will bring her to me."

"No it won't she's out of the country at the moment." Robert ducked a punch and he spun round kicking the demon on the side and giving him a powerful uppercut.

"I am Oni boy and I will get the powers of your sister."

"And what rule the world? C'mon how cliché." Robert drooled and ducked a blast and quietly in his head thanked Gumbie, Mojo and Bundy for teaching him how to street fight out of the arcade. Though Robert wasn't expecting it use it fight demons but it was better than nothing.

******

Trunks and the group landed in a clearing. "Okay bring the dragonballs together and fast." The group of them took out their dragonballs and they put them together.

"Oh mighty Sherong we summon you."

The dragonballs began to levitate in the air and swirl round and as the sky turns dark the dragon appears and looks down on them.

"Eeeeerrrrrrrr... he's still scary looking." Goten mumbled.

Trunks shot Goten a look.

"You have summoned me I shall grant you two wishes."

Trunks nodded. "I want you to give me the ability to be able to cross over between Jera Quintin's dimension and ours at will."

The dragon's eyes shone red and he looked down at Trunks. "Your wish has been granted. What is your second wish?"

"I want for Jera to have the ability to cross dimension here and back to her own."

Goten looked at Trunks in shock. "Trunks are you nuts?! Have you even asked this girl's permission for this?"

"Shhh Goten trust me. Best to have some sort of back up in case something goes wrong. And I can't play favourites in this dimension." Trunks whispered.

The dragon's eyes shone red again. "Your wish has been granted."

With that the dragonballs shot out in to the several corners of the globe.

The group of them looked at Trunks." I can sense Vegeta, Gohan and Goku heading this way gang." Ubuu spoke up. "What do we tell them?"

"We can't keep running from them, some of us have to deal with them on daily basis. But how about a little break you guys? I'm willing to test out these new powers of mine You up for a road trip?" Trunks asked with a smirk.

Goten grinned. "I'm up for it."

"So long as they have malls in this other world. It can't hurt plus some time away from school would be good."

"This is rather reckless Trunks." Marron spoke up and they looked at her and she shrugged. "Someone had to point out the negative. But off the negative. It's about time I got involved in one of these adventures."

Trunks held his hand out and he began to concentrate and suddenly in a swirl of blue light the scenery changed.

******

Robert jumped out of the way and he ran round the corner pulling out a cellphone as he ran and hurriedly dialled in a number. "C'mon Jay pick up..."

He remarked as he ran looking over his shoulder as the demon chased him being joined by two other demons who were just as ugly.

"Why'd it have to be Japanese demons?" Robert asked himself as he ran. "Why couldn't it just of been normal white boy demons?"

"Hello?" Jera's voice answered on the other end.

"Get your tail back to new zealand. I'm being chased by the Oni."

"The Oni?! Out of the dream world?" Jera asked. "Oh geez... I'll send Izzy over with Krista and I'll give you the banishing spell to say... I can't just vanish here."

"Right."

Trunks and the group looked round the night street and Goten looked at Trunks.

"You could of swirly thing'd us to a street with brighter lights." Goten remarked.

They then stopped as they heard a growl and saw a teenager running towards them and he put a cellphone away and he skidded to halt in front of them.

Bra looked at him and she smiled. He smiled back at her...

The Oni ran round the corner and the Trunks blinked. Goten looked at Trunks.

"Oh even better you swirly thing us to where there's trouble, nice one." He drooled.

Robert looked at the two and watched as suddenly Ishat and Krista appeared out of no where. Krista took her hand off Ishat's shoulder.

"Oooooh let me please I wanna play?" Ishat asked Krista.

Krista grinned. "Ohkay."

Ishat stepped in front of Robert and she rubbed her hands together and with a flick of a finger the demons were sent flying backwards and in to a wall leaving a mark.

"Oooooh that's gotta hurt." Ishat teased as the demons got up and glared at them and charged at them again.

A demon flew towards Bra and Robert jumped in pulling her out of the way and Krista froze it in mid air along with the other demons she looked at Robert.

"Playtimes over..." Ishat remarked.

"Boy the banishing spell..."

Robert nodded and he stepped forward.

"Mercury and outer space, I stamp my foot to banish you to another place, I cleanse I clear I scare away, don't come back here any day." Robert stomped his foot.

The three Oni began hollering out and in a flash of flames they vanished.

Krista smiled at Robert. "And we saved the innocence too."

"Do you think a forget spell is in order?" Ishat asked.

"Uh no we'll be fine we're not from round here anyways." Goten spoke up.

Ishat looked at Goten and she grinned. "Ooooh I like him he's cute looking."

Goten blushed a little and Paris gave Ishat a nasty glare.

"Izzy we gotta get back to the after funeral thingy." Krista spoke up.

"Hooookay... later cutie and your little buddies..." Ishat grinned.

Krista clamped her hand on Ishat's shoulder. "Lets go girlie!"

"Izzy whizzy let's busy..." Ishat chuckled before they vanished in to thin air.

Robert straightened up his Tommy Hillfigure jacket and he looked at the group of them. "Yo sorry for getting you involved in that weirdness."

"Oh no worries we've been though scarier." Pan spoke up.

Robert nodded and he looked at them all. "So where ya'll from anyways?"

"South City." Trunks replied

"Eh? You're from a mall? Or round the area of the mall?" Robert asked.

"Mall?" Bra grinned.

"Yeah South City is a mall located on the south side of town. Before the over head bridge." Robert replied.

"It's actually been renamed Satan City after my grandfather." Pan replied.

Robert blinked. "Satan City? As in devil Satan?"

"Mr Satan. You know the great Hercule?" Goten asked with a chuckle.

Robert rubbed his temple. "Oooh okay... yeah the guy who was stupid enough to challenge Cell and get his ass kicked. Then claim credit for taking out Cell."

Robert looked at them 'So this must be the GT crew? How on earth did they get here?' He thought to himself. 'I wonder if they know they're a TV show here? Either that or they've -all- seen too much dragonball.'

"Wow so someone knows the truth. But how could they of heard of the cell games even in this world?" Goten asked.

Robert watched as all of them looked at him. "Er ya know coverage... anyways... um got a place to crash? Jay will be back tomorrow and maybe she can help you get back to where ever you came from." He said.

"Jay as in Jera?" Trunks asked.

Robert nodded. "Yea man she's my older sister. She's at her boyfriend's funeral do at the moment. But crash over at my place and she'll be back tomorrow."

"What about your mother?" Marron asked.

Robert shrugged. "She's used to me and my mates and stuff. Trust me I've had fifteen in my room before and she hasn't done anything about it. She's too busy to notice."

"It can't hurt especially if Trunks get to see Jera tomorrow." Goten looked at Trunks.

Robert blinked. "Ooooohoakay..... I'm not gunna ask. Just follow me we're about three blocks walk away." He said.

******

Jera listened as Ishat and Krista explained about what they did and Jera nodded. "Well you saved the innocence and my brother thanks." She smiled.

"Well we're going home tomorrow so it's back on patrol for -all- of us." Krista said

"Ho yea don't I know it." Jera replied.

******

It was just past two pm in the afternoon when Jera was driven up the driveway by her mother. The car pulled in to the car port and Jera got out of the car. She grabbed her suitcase from the back of the boot. She was jet lagged. She tried heaving the heavy suitcase up the stairs but with all the objects inside she had been given of Xander's she realised only if she was fully awake would she be able to lift the large suitcase.

"Need a hand?" A voice asked.

Jera looked up and she blinked staring directly at the guy standing on her porch.

"Uh yeah." She replied.

He walked up to her and with ease he lifted the suitcase up and carried it inside.

Jera followed the black haired man. She pointed out her room and he took the suitcase inside. Jera looked at him in her room and her jet lagged mind knew that she had seen him before. But she couldn't place it. He smiled at her.

"So you're Robert's older sister?" He asked.

Jera nodded slowly. "Um yes and you are?"

"Ubuu." He replied. "Well get some rest you have a meeting on Friday night to keep."

Jera blinked and she nodded. She watched as Ubuu left her room and she shut the door and flopped on to her bed. Her eyes began to drift close slowly then they suddenly flew open.

"Ubuu?? Trunks?? What on earth is going on here?!" She remarked to herself as her tired mind clicked on to the dragonball connection.

******

"So you spoke to her Ubuu??" Trunks asked.

Ubuu nodded. "Yeah, she's pretty tired though."

"Well flying in a plane can give people jet lag." Marron remarked.

Bra watched as Robert pinned another poster up on his wall this time of a movie with a bunch of cars over it.

"The Fast and the Furious..." Bra read.

He looked at her. "Well if you want a familiar face look that way." He pointed.

"What the-?" Goten blinked. "you've got a picture of my dad on your wall..."

Robert laughed. "Yeah... you should see Jera's room. She's a saiyaman freak... don't ask me why the guys's well um... loco... and those poses could they be any more Ginyu Force?" He remarked.

Trunks snickered. "So Jera's a saiyaman fan?"

"Well yeah. Kinda... but she's too obsessed with Yamcha and since they kinda shared that same hair style a couple of times..." Robert shrugged.

Marron smiled. "I like Yamcha..."

"We all know that..." Trunks snickered.

Marron thumped him across the back of the head.

"Hey ow Marron..."

Goten laughed.

The door opened and Vera stuck her head in. "Look I've just got a phone call after my operation we're heading up north for a family gathering, your uncle Thunder and Peter have back from England and well the family want to celebrate, and it's also my mother and father's 51st wedding anniversary."

Robert nodded. "Gotcha mum."

She smiled. "I've informed Jera. And she also getting a present Glenn brought her back from an Irish auction... It's a late birthday present. but don't tell her that."

"Kay."

"Well I'm heading in to hospital now, and please remind Jera about that board meeting tomorrow when she wakes up. Maria is coming down tomorrow and she's going to help get some food and watch over you two since Jera's so busy with study. I don't want a repeat of what happened last month." Vera said seriously.

Robert nodded again and Vera left.

Trunks looked at Robert. "Last month?" He questioned.

"My sister suffers from a mental illness."

"Oh no way!" Goten breathed. "What?"

Robert scratched his head. "Um the thingy said it was post-traumatic stress anxiety."

"Whoa... so what's that mean?" Goten asked.

"Well Jay got hit by a car a few months back and every now and again it'll hit her, like a flashback and she'll become like wide awake and not sleepy at all and she'll get distressed easy, and she gets these flashbacks and things..." Robert explained.

"And with Xander getting hit by a car-" Trunks added.

Goten blinked understanding. "She could fall in to it again."

Robert nodded. "Right. Now she's also gotta fight demons, try and complete a degree in law and take out mum's place in boring board meetings."

"Hey Trunks, think she'd mind coming to our world a bit ya know as a holiday?"

"Yo can I come?" Robert asked.

Bra grinned at Robert. "Sure and you can meet my dad."

Robert smirked. "Way cool, he's wicked your dad."

******

The group of them were settled down outside while Robert was on the barbecue cooking up some food. Goten watched the door and saw Jera emerge tiredly.

"Yo sis!! Come over here." Robert shouted out. "I cooked up some chicken for ya."

Jera wandered up to the barbecue area and she blinked seeing Ubuu sitting next to Paris on the picnic table and Marron and Pan on the other side. Bra was sitting in her brother's seat, while Trunks and Goten were standing up. Jera scratched her head.

Trunks walked up to her. Jera looked at him.

"Oh my Gods... you're real..." she breathed.

Trunks nodded at her. "Yeah and we're here to help."

"Man the powers that be have an odd sense of humour." Jera remarked.

Goten scratched his head. "What's a powers that be? Is that the name for a ki attack or something?" He asked.

Jera blinked and Robert looked at Goten wearily.

"Okay it's obvious Goku is his father..." Robert remarked.

"Hey hey hey! Just cause I'm not clued up, doesn't mean I don't know things."

"Powers that be is another word for higher power, true source... Gods, deities..." Robert explained. "Man we have to show you the first season of Angel."

Jera nodded. "Yeah and I soooo badly got the Cordelia job..."

"Doing what?" Trunks asked.

"She's given visions by the powers that be of the innocents that's lives are in danger, then her, Ishat, Krista go out and battle it. Then if it's too strong they call in Xander."

Jera frowned at Robert mentioning Xander's name. "Or he used to..." She sighed.

Goten nodded. "Xander was your warrior type protector right? Trunks mentioned him." He said looking at Jera's saddened expression.

Jera nodded slowly. "Yeah."

"He got the nick name Xander after Buffy first aired, before that it was just plan old Alex." Robert remarked. "And boy was he a Xander. I like him he was cool."

"Excuse me..." Jera remarked and she ran back inside.

"Ooops..." Robert remarked. "She's not over it yet."

"I wouldn't be either." Marron remarked, "He only died four days ago."

Trunks looked at Robert. "Is there a place we can stay until Friday? I have a feeling your mother's sister will be a bit iffy about a group of us staying over here during that time." He asked.

Robert nodded. "If you wanna meet Jera at the Clvb on Friday then the Copthorne hotel would be good just follow the cobble stone path and you're at the clvb from there. You're all over Eighteen right?"

"Just." Bra replied.

Trunks shot her a look that read 'Liar' But Bra just smiled innocently back at him.

"Sweet provide some I.D and you should be able to get in to the clubs easy."

"Eighteen is a clubbing age here?" Pan asked.

Robert nodded. "Yeah. I just turned nineteen myself."

Bra grinned at Robert. "Nineteen... so what do you do for a living?"

"I er... work I got an apprenticeship in joinery... two more years. I only get five hundred a week but it's better than nothing."

"Say do you have any single friends I can set Pan up with?" She asked.

"Bra!!" Pan exclaimed.

"Just Tony, but I call him Gumbie, he's just older than me..."

"Is he cute?"

Robert blinked. "I don't know I don't look at guys."

Goten chuckled at Robert's expression. This world was very much different just looking at Robert the ki level was higher than normal not above one hundred but still it was fairly high and that of Jera's friends the other night, they were even higher... everyone was at a different level here. Normally they wouldn't be higher than five or possibly fifteen. But the ones he'd meet so far...

******

"Weak, weak, weak, weak..." Krista sighed walking down the street past the group of guys. "Weak..." She added.

Krista looked at Ishat who had her head in a book as she was walking. "No evil demons coming up yet?" Ishat asked nonchalantly.

"Nope..." Krista stopped and then watched as one of her old law lector's walked past and Ishat looked up from her book after he passed by and looked behind her.

"Whoa... that energy..." Ishat breathed.

"Why he's even more powerful than last time..." Krista remarked.

Ishat and Krista shared looks and nodded. Ishat lead Krista in to an empty alley way.

"Grab on to my shoulder girlie and we'll tell Jera a.s.a.p."

"Right." Krista remarked.

With that Ishat and Krista vanished from sight.

******
