Ch. 17
*****Info*******
Goten and Mina were already going out before they left to train at the Gates of Time
Amara and Piccolo finally got together after the first year spent at the Gates of Time. It had taken being locked in a closet that could not be destroyed due to fear of having to deal with one pissed off Time Guardian…and of the possibility that the ki could have actually hit the Time Gates and damage the time stream. Why was this possible? The oh so smart and innocent Z team and S team members involved in this had conviently placed the two struggling victims in a closet that HAPPENED to be immune to physical abuse…and the only side weak enough to be affected by a ki blast had been facing the Time Gates…the closet had coincidently been right in front of the Time Gates, much to the grumblings and annoyance of Piccalo, Amara and Trista. After they had finally gotten out of the closet, four hours later, everyone, victims or not, had been given a thorough lecture by an angry Time Guardian.
Michelle and Tien had hooked up a bit after Lita and 17 had. Rei, Mina and Lita had played matchmaker.
Trunks became depressed soon after arriving at the Gates, going through, what was dubbed as "Serena-Withdrawal" and it took EVERYONE to bring him back up. Mainly, they told him that Serena would be hurt if she ever found out about his depression, and she may be/ is able to feel his depression.
Beryl had left the Time Gates to go back to her kingdom. Her kingdom rejoiced at the absence of their "missing" king. Parades and celebrations were held in honor of his "abdicating the throne". Meanwhile, the generals of Beryl's kingdom had not been seen since they had brought their queen back to her awaiting kingdom.
10 years has passed at the Gates of Time and only a week has passed in the outside world.
********************
"HAHAHHAHAHA!! CAN'T CATCH ME!! AHAHAHA!! YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!! NEE-NER NEE-NER NEE-NER!! YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!!!" Mina was running around the house, sticking her tongue out at Goten, her long time boyfriend. With an extra burst of energy, Goten caught up to her, and pulled her down to the floor. There, they both remained, Goten on top of Mina, both trying to catch their breath….which was kind of hard to do, as they lost their breath, gazing into each other's eyes. Though they have been going out for 10 years, Time Gates timezone, their feelings for one another never diminished and both still acted as childish as ever.
None of the scouts nor Z senshi changed physically, though many were a lot happier and out-going emotionally. This, of course, did not apply for Trunks, who was not as happy without Serena, and was quite envious of the others.
"Are you two at it again? Ugh… get a room!" Rei rolled her eyes, coming into the room just in time to see the scene.
"And you're one to talk Rei…" Lita came in, pointing towards an oblivious Yamcha. Rei blushed.
"Alright you guys, we have to go see Trista. She says it's time to go." Ami appeared, with Gohan behind her, his arms around her petite waist.
"Hai!" and with that, all left the house, which soon vanished.
"I'm going to miss that place…" Bulma replied forlornly.
"I know..it's been our home for ten years…." ChiChi sighed.
"But hey! We're going back now!" Mina chirped. The others nodded, looked at the vacant spot that once held their splendid house one last time, and walked towards the Gates of Time. Each thinking of their times at the Gates of Time, and at the same time, looking forward to going back to the "real world".
****************************
"Forgive me for the intrusions, Generals, but her majesty requires your presence in her private chambers." The maid told the Generals.
"Well, you heard her Jade, let's go!!" Ruby jumped up, dragging Jade with her.
"You seem eager to see her majesty again." Amethysts stated, smirking slightly.
"Could this eagerness to see her majesty have to do with the fact that Jade had you beat…AGAIN?" Garnet, the last of the four Generals for Beryl's kingdom perked and eyebrow.
"What ever do you mean? Me? Beat?!! HA!! Never! She didn't say checkmate…so therefore…SHE DIDN'T HAVE ME BEAT!! HAHAHAHA!!" The generals all sweat dropped as Ruby laughed insanely, dragging Jade with her. The two male generals sighed, bowed their head, and followed along, wondering what made their fellow red-headed comrade so…perky!
*************************
"Momoon…..do I have to?" Serena looked pitifully at..well..the moon. She was currently encased in a bubble orbiting the moon.
"Hai, child."
"But I don't want to!" Serena whined.
"You must hone your powers, child. This is part of your training." And with that, the bubble Serena was encased in popped, leaving Serena floating in empty space. Serena gasped.
"Wai!! I don't know how to dodge asteroids!!!!" Serena screamed, before she was transported into the middle of an asteroid belt.
"AH!!!" Serena barely dodged the asteroid in front of her.
*************************
"You called, your majesty?" the Generals bowed. Beryl sighed.
"You guys…quit it! You know by now I hate all of that proper stuff!" Beryl laughed, rolling her eyes.
" But your majesty, I would never DREAM of disrespecting you!" Jade replied, rolling her eyes. Beryl laughed, throwing a pillow in her direction. Jade in return, caught it.
"I believe we were summoned her for a reason, your majesty..erm..Beryl?" Garnet asked. He still had a hard time remembering to call his queen by her given name in private.
"Oh hai! We're going to fight in the tournament!" Beryl grinned.
"What?!?!"
"Are you guys going deaf or something? We…are…going..to..fight..in..the..tournament! Is that so hard to grasp?" Beryl teased.
"Hai…NO!" The generals replied.
"Good, now we're going to train!" Beryl grinned.
"What?!! Your majesty!! YOU TOO?!!? You can't fight! You might get hurt!" General Garnet stepped up, stating the thoughts rushing through all the generals' heads.
"Of course! That's why I'm going to train of course! Duh! I said WE, didn't I? Honestly, you're getting old Garnet!" Beryl teased, pushing the shocked generals out of chambers. She shut and locked the door behind them.
Three….
Two…..
One…
BANG! BANG!! Beryl grinned. Her guardians were SO predictable! Beryl hummed to herself and began to brush her hair as her guardians and best friends continued to bang their fists on her door and shout their protests at her decision to fight.
'They'll give up soon…' Beryl's grin turned to a frown. 'In about a day or two…'
**********************
"HOME SWEET HOME!!" Goten yelled, running around the yard of CC. The others sweatdropped.
"It's good to be back…though I must admit, I'm going to miss my lab back in the Time Gates…but on the other hand…we're going to have so much new products to place in the market now!" Bulma headed for her lab.
"Well, we better get going. Bye." The S senshi said, floated a bit, flew and began to head to their house. Some yelled back at their respected love, promising to see them soon.
"VISIT US SOMETIME!!" Bra yelled out.
"WE WILL!!" Mina yelled back.
"Goten!! GET BACK HERE!!" ChiChi yelled out. Goten immediately rushed over, after all, what kind of idiot wanted to get ChiChi mad?
"We're going home now, I'll cook as soon as we get there! Oh, I hope the place didn't get TOO messy without me there to clean it!" ChiChi grinned, happy to be able to see her house again. At the mention of food, Goku grinned, and his eyes lit up.
"Really?!! Let's go!! Bye you guys!" Goku grabbed a surprised Gohan, Goten and ChiChi and instant transmissioned them to their house.
"Come on brat, we've got training to do." Vegeta smirked and headed towards the gravity room, not that it'd do much good now…after all, he HAD surpassed the minimum that it could reach in the Time Stream. He'll have to get that woman to fix it later.
Trunks sighed. His dad would never change. Looking at the sky, he hid a grin. 'Soon Sere, we'll see each other again." And with that, he followed his dad.
***************************
"AHAHHAHA!! I AM THE QUEEN OF ALL ASTEROID DODGING THINGS!!" Serena laughed hysterically, after having dodged all the asteroids in the belt. She heard Momoon sigh in her head.
"Heheh..that was fun!" Serena grinned, before vanishing and appearing back at the moon.
"Momoon!! Let's do that again!" Serena grinned.
"Not now, child, calm yourself. Begin your meditation now child."
***********************
"Who is your master?" Chaodymion asked the kneeling figures in front of him.
"You are, master." The monotone voices replied.
"Excellent..now go off and make yourself scarce" Chaodymion ordered.
"As you wish." And each of the figures in front of him departed.
"I truly am a genius. Those brats will pay for their treachery! They'll never know what hit them!" Chaodymion smirked, before breaking into a fit of insane laughter.
'Insane baka!" one of the figures previously kneeling in front of him thought silently. 'I can't believe you actually believe you could place ME under your control!' The figure thought silently, looking at the fire that had been made.
*************************
The figure 'born' from the stars grinned. Oh yes, this WOULD be interesting. Most definitely! She couldn't wait to see her "daughter" again. It had been so long. Of course, she wouldn't have minded if the reason for her being brought forth was less….troublesome…but hey! Life's not fair ne? She grinned. Pulling a strand of hair behind her ear, she continued to watch the orb. Her "daughter" was relaxing right now.
"My dear daughter, soon, you will take your rightful thrown, with your rightful mate, and then…then, NOTHING and NOONE will hurt you again, my little one. At least, you will not be hurt by evil..well…perhaps INDIRECTLY…but hey! Nothing is set on stone! Well…maybe not so soon…but hey! What's time to an immortal?"The figure grinned and giggled, it was good to have a body again! She hadn't had one in….oh…about the beginning of time and the universe! She giggled again.
**************************
"Ccccccchhhhiiiiilllllldddddddddd……" the mysterious voice called out.
"Who are you?! Why am I here?!!?" Serena screamed. She was standing in the middle of nowhere…there was not a single organism, dead or alive around.
"Yooouuuuuuu hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvveeeeeee aaaawwwwaaaakkkkkeeeeennnnneeeeddddd" the voice droned.
"I know that!" Serena snapped. She had been having such a nice dream about Trunks..when THIS dream interrupted.
"…bbbbuuuuuttttt nnnnoooootttttttt qqqqquuuuiiiiiiittttteeeeee sssssoooooooo…." The voice continued.
"WHAT?!!?" Serena shrieked. After all, she thought she had fully awaken…but then again…this WAS her dream world.
"WHO ARE YOU!! SHOW YOURSELF!!" Serena screamed.
"Ccccchhhhhiiiiiillllllldddd….hhhhhaaaaaavvvvveeee nnnnoooo ffffeeeeeaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr…." The mysterious voice echoed around her.
"Who said I was afraid?"
"…Bbbuuuuttt yyyyooooouuuu aaaarrrrrrreeeeee…."
"Am not!" Serena retorted. The voice replied with an echoing laughter.
"Tttttiiiiimmmmmeeeeee wwwwwiiiiiilllllllll rrrrreeeeevvvvvveeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllll aaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll…" the voice replied.
"WHA!?!?!!" Serena's eyes snapped open.
'What kind of dream was THAT?!!' she thought.
'Oh child…if only you knew…' the moon thought silently, shedding an invisible tear. AN- well…that'z different…
******************************
"WHAT?!?!! WAS THAT SUPOSE TO HAPPEN!??!" Destiny yelled.
"Perhaps." Fate shrugged.
"That's not faaaaiiirr!!! It's OUR jobs to send the dreams!" Destiny whined. Fate chuckled.
"We don't control EVERYTHING that happens, love!"
"Hai, I know…but still….it wouldn't have HURT for her to warn us that she was going to send Sere a dream!" Destiny pouted. Fate chuckled.
