The last time in TLW-The Sequel:

"Ouch… what was that?" Mirai Trunks was sitting on the floor, rubbing his jaw. "Jenny?" Both, he and Pan stared the woman.

"Really, Trunks… Did no one teach you not to be distracted in a fight? There could always come a surprise attack." Jenny told him, trying to remain serious, but as she saw the priceless look on the two Saiyans face she burst out laughing. Just then Pan and Mirai Trunks realized how it must have looked like, when they were lying on the floor. They first blushed but then joined Jenny in her laughing.

Chapter 5: "Future Of The Past"

The next morning everyone was gathered in Trunks' and Jenny's living room, ready to leave. Everything was set, the fighters just said goodbye to their families and friends.

Jenny walked over to Shana and hugged her. "I'll see you, when we get back. And take good care of Michael and Faith. And you two," she turned to her kids, "don't make any trouble here!"

"Yes mom!" they answered in unison.

"Don't worry about them Jenny. I know how to raise two Saiyajins," Shana told her smiling.

Jenny smiled back and then went to Bulma, who was holding Joey in her arms. "Bulma, I'm really sorry that you have to take care of Joey, but I didn't want to bother my parents with it and Shana already has to watch over four Saiyajins."

"No problem Jenny! You know how I adore your little girl."

"Mommy! Daddy!" the little girl squeaked. "Don't go!"

"We have to Joey! But I promise, we'll be back!" Trunks told his youngest daughter and kissed her on the forehead. Jenny then hugged her and they walked back to where the portal will open.

"Goten, please, promise me that you'll come back as well. I don't want to lose you," Shana said, as she felt tears in her eyes of fear of never seeing her husband again.

"Shh, I will always come back to you!" He kissed her. "I love you." Goten then embraced his two sons and followed his sister and best friend.

"Pan, do you really want to go?" Videl asked her only daughter worried.

"Yes mom. You know I have to. And besides dad's there too, to protect me," Pan said smiling.

She sighed. "I know."

"Brat! If you don't come now, we'll go without you!"

"Okay Vegeta! I'm coming! Bye mom!"

"Bye Pan!"

"Okay, everyone's ready?" Mirai Bulma asked as the fighters were gathered in front of the place where the portal should appear. "Fine, then let's go. But remember, the portal is not long open and I can just open it one more time after this." With that, she pushed the button on the remote control and a white portal, which looked like a door, appeared.

"I think we should go!" Goku said and walked as first through the portal, followed by Vegeta and the others. Soon, they all disappeared in the light.

Faith, Michael, Chris and Will looked at each other and then raced towards the still open portal. 'Oh shit!' Shana thought as she noticed that the kids were running towards the portal. "Stop them!" But neither of the remaining people in the room were able to grab one of them, so Shana followed them and tried to get hold of them before they ran through the portal. Unfortunately Shana couldn't stop in front of it and the portal closed directly behind her.

"Shana! Kids!" Bulma shouted and threw a helpless look at her counterpart, who just shrugged and they sighed. 'I hope they will be okay.'

~*~

"Oh my god," Goku could just say as he exited the portal.

"Goku? What's up?" Mirai Trunks asked Goku worried, but then he saw what Goku had seen. "Holy shit! He's been here."

The warriors looked around. Everything had been destroyed by Buu in the western capital. There were everywhere shattered buildings, smoke of still burning houses and cars. You couldn't hear any birds singing and people were nowhere to be found.

"Wow! What happened here?" Everyone turned around as they heard a voice behind them. The four small Saiyans just stepped out of the portal, followed by a heard-breathing Shana. Shortly after the woman came out of the white light, it disappeared.

"I'm sorry. I tried to stop them, but they were too fast."

"Michael! Faith! What are you doing here?" Trunks shouted as he saw his twins.

"The same question goes for you young men!" Goten scowled at his sons.

"We wanted to help you, so Faith came up with the idea of running through the portal when you're gone," Chris explained.

"Is that true Faith?" Trunks asked.

The girl swallowed. "Yeah, I think you can see it that way… Please, don't be angry daddy. We just wanted to help." She looked from her father to her mother, hoping that they wouldn't be that angry.

"Really Faith, I don't know from whom you've inherited these traits. It must be your father, because I have never done something like that," Jenny said, shaking her head. "So, and what are we now doing with you?"

"I think that since Buu already was here, they must be save in CC as long as they hide their kis," Mirai Trunks guessed. "They can't go back and we can't do anything about them being here."

"You're right." Goten said and then turned back to the kids. "But you won't do anything stupid here! Do you understand?"

The kids just nodded.

A few minutes later they were in the ruins of Capsule Corporation, sitting in what was the living-room about one day ago.

"I'm so glad that we could talk mom into coming to the other dimension, otherwise she wouldn't have survived that," Mirai Trunks said shocked.

"But she is alive Trunks," Pan reminded him, "and she's safe." She laid her hand on his and suddenly he felt a lot more calm and better than before.

"So, and what are we going to do now?" Jenny wanted to know.

"I guess the best thing is, Mirai Trunks, Vegeta and I go and check out Buu and when we're back, we can make a plan to attack him," Goku said.

"Kakarotto's right. And while we're checking out Buu, you others should go through the city, looking for people, who need help. But you should go in pairings and in each pair should be someone who can use Shunkan Idou and I think that one should stay here, looking after Shana and the brats."

"That would be me," Goten said.

"And Pan will of course go with me," Gohan announced.

"Okay, then it's me and Jenny," Trunks told them.

With that, they got up and left the house, each group on their own way.

~*~

Buu was just destroying another small city as Mirai Trunks, Goku and Vegeta appeared, hiding in some bushes to watch him.

"That's incredible," Goku whispered. "He's stronger than the fat Buu in our timeline."

"What?! But you still are strong enough to beat him, I hope."

"Hmph, he's about as strong as our Buu's last form. If we could stop him from transforming it won't be such a big problem. Kakarotto and I can both go SSJ3 and there's still the fusion," Vegeta told his son from the future.

At that moment, Buu was walking towards a small girl and stopped right in front of her. The girl screamed and tried to get away, but she stumbled and fell down. "Mmh, what do you want to be? Candy? Chocolate?" he asked as he licked his lips.

"Please, let me go, please." The girl started to cry.

As Mirai Trunks watched this scene, he couldn't take it anymore. He had just seen too many people suffer. He powered up to Super Saiyajin and lunged at Buu.

"Trunks! No!" Goku shouted and he and Vegeta followed him, also in Super Saiyajin.

Mirai Trunks could use his surprise moment and was able to kick Buu a few meters away from the girl, but he quickly recovered. "GO! NOW!" he shouted to the girl. She nodded and ran away. Buu wanted to follow her, but Goku and Vegeta were standing in his way.

"Oh, you've brought me more weaklings! I hope they're more fun than you," Buu said smiling.

Vegeta gritted his teeth. This idiot has insulted the prince of all Saiyajins and his son. "You'll see who's weak. But not now!"

"Huh? Not now? Why? I want to have some fun."

"You'll get your fun, don't worry. You'll see when," Goku told him as Mirai Trunks walked over to him and the three Saiyans disappeared.

~*~

"It's terrible," Jenny said, when she and Trunks were walking through a lonely street with destroyed buildings everywhere. She shivered and Trunks put his arm around her shoulder.

"I know. It almost seems as if he didn't let anyone live."

"And all those people are lost, forever. I really wish that they still had the Dragonballs."

~*~

"Dad? Do you feel that? This weak ki?" Pan asked, when they were walking past what-once-has-been-a-house.

"Yes, I do feel that. It's over there." He pointed to a pile of rocks.

Father and daughter ran over to this pile and began rummaging through it, in desperate search for the ki's owner. It didn't take long until they spotted a bit of clothing. "Dad! It's here!" From that moment on, they picked up the rocks extreme carefully, not wanting the person to be hurt more than it already is.

"Pan, I hold this rock and you pull him out, okay?"

"Okay."

Just a few seconds later, Pan carried the old man and laid him down on the street. "Dad! Look! It's Muten Roshi!"

"What?" Gohan asked he dusted the rest of the rocks.

"He wakes up."

Muten Roshi moaned. "What happened?" he asked as he slowly opened his eyes. He first spotted the dark-haired girl, who was kneeling directly next to him and then the man, who was standing behind her. "Oh my god, Gohan? Am I dead?"

"No, you aren't dead." Gohan shook his head.

As Muten Roshi tried to get up, Pan gently pushed him back to the ground. "Please, do not move. You're hurt pretty badly. I'll go and get the senzus." The last sentence Pan said to her father, who nodded. She then put two fingers at her forehead and disappeared.

"T-that was… Shunkan Idou… How…?" At that moment Pan was back with a small bag.

"Here, eat one," Pan told him and he obeyed. "Dad, the others are already back. I think we should go back, too."

"Muten Roshi, we explain everything, when we're back at CC. Pan, would you be so nice and bring us there?" Pan nodded and they disappeared.

~*~

"So, you're the fighters from the other timeline. And I thought our warriors are back," Muten Roshi said thoughtful. "But at least there is someone who can fight this terrible monster."

"But Master, what are you doing here? Why aren't you on your island?" Goku asked.

"Well, ChiChi, she lived on my island since Buu appeared, and I wanted to make sure that Bulma was okay, since Trunks left for the other dimension and we heard that Buu was near this city."

"Wait a minute. Where's ChiChi? You said that she was with you," Jenny wanted to know.

"I don't know where she is. I lost her in the crowd, as Buu attacked. I don't even know if she's still alive."

Everyone looked to the ground in an awkward silence and Shana was the first one who said something again. "Goku, you've checked out Buu. How strong is he?"

"He's as strong as our Buu in his final transformation, but we might still be able to beat him, since we're stronger as well." Goku then told the others about his, Vegeta's and Mirai Trunks' plan for the fight against Buu.

~*~

"Bulma! Are you here? Bulma!" an elderly woman with dark hair shouted worried, as she was walking through the ruins of what once has been Capsule Corporation.

It was already dark outside and so Goten brought the kids to bed, even though they complained about it, but he told them that everyone must be fit for the next day, and so they agreed. He just walked out of one of the not-destroyed rooms, which they used as bedroom for the kids, when he heard someone shouting. He followed the voice and soon saw a figure walking through one of the corridors. He followed her, but stepped on a stone, letting it crack. The woman spun around, a small beam as weapon in her hands and attacked her follower. But Goten grabbed it easily and threw it away.

"Oh my god… Goku? Is that you? What have you done with your hair?" ChiChi asked as Goten's face fell into the light. The woman stared at him shocked. Goten was now as old as his father has been, when he died in this timeline and he looked exactly like him, except of the different haircut. "Goku?" she repeated.

"Sorry… But I'm not him. I'm Goten. Your son from the future … euh … past, argh, whatever," Goten tried to explain.

"My… son? But, you look like Goku…" ChiChi was confused. In front of her stood a man about thirty years old, explaining her that he's her son.

"Maybe that's because he's my father…" Goten said shrugging. "But I think the best is to bring you to the others."

"The others?"

"Yeah, you'll see," he told her smiling.

~*~

Pan was walking in the garden of Capsule Corporation. This night seemed so peaceful. No one would believe in this night, that somewhere else on this planet someone destroyed cities and killed people. Suddenly Pan spotted a figure standing in front of something. Pan could tell that it was Mirai Trunks, from his ki, and walked towards him. As she came nearer, she saw that he was standing in front of different gravestones. She noticed that he clenched his fists, and laid her hand on his shoulder. Startled he looked around, but calmed down as he saw Pan. "Are you okay?" she asked worried, but gasped as she looked at the gravestone in front of her.

SON GOHAN
BELOVED SON
FRIEND
AND TEACHER

"He died as I was thirteen. He taught me everything I needed to survive. He was always like a father to me," Mirai Trunks told Pan, as they were sitting against a tree.

"That must have been terrible. I mean losing him."

Trunks nodded. "His death caused me going Super Saiyan. And I couldn't do anything to prevent his death, simply nothing. That was why I didn't want to go back in time to ask for his help. I didn't want them to experience the same as I. They should have a normal life, okay as normal as it could be. But somehow I'm glad that they're the ones to help me."

"Why?"

"Be-because I met you. You make me feel better whenever you're around," he said, as he looked her deep into her dark eyes, wiping a strand of hair away, putting it behind her ear. "I think I-I fell in love with you."

"Trunks…" She was lost in his crystal blue eyes. Both were moving towards each other and soon they were engaged in a soft but strong kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she put her arms around his neck.

They first broke apart as Jenny appeared next to them. She cleared her throat, gaining the attention of the two lovers. "Sorry to interrupt you," she said grinning, causing them to blush, "but ChiChi's here. We're in the living room."

"ChiChi's alive?"

"Grandma is here?"

Jenny nodded and together they walked to the building. "By the way, when are you going to tell Gohan about you two."

That comment made Pan stop. "I don't know… I don't even know if this will last…" she mumbled, but was interrupted by a laughing Jenny.

"Don't worry Panny, it will last! You'll be stuck with each other for the rest of your life."

"What do you mean by that?" Pan asked confused.

"You'll find out. But when are you telling Gohan?"

"I think when everything's over," Mirai Trunks said.

"Okay, but inform me, so that I can stop him from killing you," she said, still laughing, pointing at Mirai Trunks.

So, again sorry it took me so long with this chapter, but I didn't feel well last night. I somehow had the mother of all headaches!

Eternally yours
