Chapter 1
First Day of Kindergarten
Trunks arose from his bed fully rested and ready to begin his day. This was a big day for him after all, it was his first day of school at Orange Star Elementary and he didn't want to be late. He quickly changed into the set of clothes his mother had left for him on his bedpost. He wore a pair of blue jeans and a long sleeved sweatshirt. He bolted downstairs and greeted his mom as she placed some fresh, piping hot pancakes on the table for him. Goshin sat down on the adjacent seat and removed his CD player headphones. "Yo sis, pass me the syrup!" Goshin yelled. Pan slammed the maple syrup on the table startling him. Trunks quickly wolfed down his breakfast and practically flew out the door. Trunks leaped into the air and called the Nimbus cloud to him. Trunks breathed deeply as he flew through the cool morning air and spotted his school coming into view. He hopped off the cloud when no one was looking and ran up to greet his friend Sam.
Sam waved hello to Trunks; Sam was his best friend after his uncle Goshin. Sam told him that they had a new student in their class. This surprised Trunks a little considering the class was composed of mostly the same kids from their Pre-School. "Yeah it's a girl and she is hot!" Sam spoke excitedly. Trunks' eyes bulged from his head when he saw her walking through the entrance gate. Sam was right, even more so than Trunks had thought. It was Android 18's youngest daughter, she and Trunks were friends. She approached the boys casually. She had long blonde hair much like her mother's; she wore a red ribbon in her hair, and had a blue skirt and white T-shirt on. "Hi guys," she giggled. Trunks could barely keep his mouth closed. He finally managed to give a proper greeting. "H-Hi Amy," Trunks blurted out. Amy giggled again and skipped towards the classroom door.
Free-play, naptime, and snack went by relatively fast. Trunks had told his mom not to pick him up from school and that he wanted to go to Sam's house. Sam lived much closer to the school and was only three blocks away. But as they walked they had no idea they were being followed. Baxter and his gang proceeded to grab Sam by the backpack and toss him into a bush. Trunks looked up at the group of 5th Graders very frightened. "How much money ya got punk?" He growled through yellow, unbrushed teeth. Trunks shivered and pulled ten dollars out of his pocket. "Not enough kid!" He yelled and grabbed Trunks by the collar of his shirt. He punched Trunks three times in the stomach until he began to cry in pain. Baxter then dropped Trunks and kicked him in the shins while he was still on the ground. "Whadda ya say, next time tomorrow, pipsqueak?" he and his friends laughed before taking off cowardly. Sam finally removed himself from the prickly thorn bush and went help his friend.
That night Pan bandaged up her son and cleaned his wounds. Goshin stood with his arms folded outside the bathroom door making outrageous rants and threats about the scumbag who messed up his nephew. Pan was getting quite annoyed and frustrated trying to help her son and put up with this idiot at the same time. "Goshin, shouldn't you be getting back home to mom now?" Pan growled. Goshin shrugged and picked up his things. "Kay, all I'm saying is, teach the friggin' kid how to fight!" That's when Pan snapped. She picked up Goshin by the underwear and hurled him out the second story window! Goshin floated above the ground and flew away scared. "Alright, alright, I'm going!"
This went on for countless weeks. Everyday after school Trunks would be beaten senseless by Baxter and the other bullies. Finally Trunks couldn't take it anymore, and approached his mother with a very unexpected request. "Mom, you know how you're always telling me how strong dad was before he died?" Pan nodded as she happily washed dishes in the kitchen while Goshin danced in the living room with a bandage around his tail from his last window shot put.
"Mom.I wanna learn how to fight! Like dad," he explained. Goshin slipped on the floor and looked over at his sister and nephew in the kitchen. Pan had hoped Trunks wouldn't ask her this. Fighting had brought back a lot of bad memories from the battle with Valdos. The argument went on late into the night until she eventually caved in when he said that he would learn how to fight even if Goshin had to teach him (even though he was much weaker than Pan). "Fine son! We start tomorrow at 5:00 AM, bright and early!" Trunks was overjoyed and slept like a baby that night, awaiting his first lesson.
End of Chapter 1.
Chapter 2
An Unexpected Ability
Trunks stood face to face with Pan in the gravity room. Bulma was very gracious in lending them a training capsule after Pan told her what was going on. Pan had already taught him the basics: left hook, right hook, jab, elbow, palm thrust, karate chop, backhand, fronthand, headbutt, energy attacks, punch, kick, roundhouse, dodge, backflip, frontflip, and flight. Trunks was ready for his first battle. He dashed towards Pan and sent a jab at her face but she jumped to the left and threw back a left hook to the ribs. Trunks bit his lip and let out a few tears. Whether it was on purpose or not, Pan hit a lot harder than Baxter did. Trunks continued the attack and fired his right knee at her stomach; Pan dodged and shot an energy beam at Trunks. Trunks ducked it and landed an elbow into Pan's gut! Pan smiled and grabbed the elbow and twisted it out of her stomach.
Trunks was losing and although he was learning his mom's patterns, he somehow wasn't able to follow or predict her movements. He was in pain and missing when his mom would normally be kissing his wounds and making them better, not causing them. He cried a little at that thought and Pan rushed at him. "Isn't this what you wanted Trunks? You wanted to learn how to fight and now you have to learn how to take it!" She socked Trunks in the face and he fell to the ground with a dull thump. Pan was getting worried, maybe she was pushing him too hard, he was only six years old for God's sake!
Pan's eyes widened to the size of pinballs. Trunks floated above her angrily and lightning began striking him through the ceiling. "No, he can't be.he is!" she thought to herself when Trunks' hair flashed a golden sheen and sharpened dramatically. Trunks let out an ear- piercing shriek that racked the walls of the gravity room! A fissure shot across every angle in the floor and shattered the walls. Trunks felt like a burning flame was ripping him to pieces and could no longer hold in his rage. He screamed once again and his hair sprang upward and exploded into an extremely golden shade. It wasn't possible, it couldn't happen, shouldn't happen, but it was. Trunks had become a Super Saiyan!
His power was unbelievable! Pan might have been getting older, but she wasn't old enough yet to mistake power levels. Trunks' energy was above what Valdos' was five years ago! Trunks stopped hovering and fell to his knees. His hair burst back into its original gray-violet color. Pan ran towards her son and kneeled in front of him. "Trunks! Do that again!" She ordered. Trunks couldn't do anything but breathe for a few moments. "I.I can't!" he panted. "Whadda ya mean you can't? You just did!" Trunks shook his head no again. Pan decided to call it quits for the day, she also wanted to keep him home from school. Normally after their first transformation, a Super Saiyan could change at will. But Trunks was different somehow. It would seem that he could only change when he was in rage.
Trunks was getting much stronger as the weeks passed on. He could now accurately sense Pan's movements and sometimes even beat her! Trunks could already train in over 100g's, but he still could not control his Super Saiyan powers nonetheless. He had even developed his own attack: the Tri-Sphere. It was a technique where three golden energy orbs would charge into his hands and fire outward, manifested in a wave closely resembling Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon.
Goshin had also given Trunks a few pointers as well. Even though he was kind of weak, he still had some pretty good moves. Soon Trunks was finally ready to take on Baxter and his thugs. He would wait until the next afternoon, when they would surely attack him.
End of Chapter 2.
Chapter 3
The Good News
Baxter walked up to Trunks cracking his knuckles and straightening his shirt. Trunks was nervous, this was what he'd finally been waiting for, a chance to get back at Baxter for over three months of torture. Sam reluctantly hid in a bush not knowing whether to help out his friend or not. Baxter was now right in Trunks' face and ready to deliver the first blow. He sent his right fist flying into Trunks; Trunks ignored his better judgement and caught the hit before it impacted. Baxter practically crapped his pants when he'd realized what had happened. Trunks leaped over him and did a double-reverse roundhouse kick on Baxter sending him flying into the sun-baked pavement.
Baxter turned and attempted to kick Trunks, but again he caught the attack. Trunks let go and uppercut him knocking out several of his teeth and cracking his jaw. The other mob members scattered like a swarm of scared ants. Baxter lay on the ground unconscious and bleeding from the mouth. Trunks had finally done it.
Trunks thought life couldn't get any better; he was on top of the world. After his stand against the bullies he was recognized as the coolest and the toughest kid in school. Not even the high and mighty 6th Graders dared to mess with him. This reputation followed him for ten long years until he was in High School. Amy was now his girlfriend, Sam was thought to be the second coolest kid in school for being Trunks' best friend, and Trunks was still training and becoming stronger. But one day, his mother came to school to give him urgent news and pulled Trunks from fifth period quite forcibly.
Pan flew with her son heading to Dende's lookout. It turns out; that Goku and the others had finally finished they're training under God in the Spirit Realm. God told Dende that if they traveled to Namek and used the Namekian Dragon Balls, they would be able to bring everyone back to life! Trunks was thrilled that he would finally be able to meet his father, and Chi-Chi, Ox-King, Goshin, Videl, Bra, Bulma, Master Roshi, Amy, Android 18, and Marron were overjoyed to be allowed to come along on the voyage.
"Paparunga, paka, nobleana, poporempten, saratae." Dende chanted calling Porunga from his slumber in Namek's core. They only needed one of his three wishes: "bring back all the good people who died during the battle with Valdos!" Porunga was happy to grant the request (well not really happy, you all know how the dragons are). A majestic portal opened in the wake of the glowing Dragon Balls. Out of it walked Goku, Gohan, Goten, Brolly, Piccolo, Trunks, Vegeta, Krillin, Tien, Chautzio, Ubuu, and Yamcha. The families that were happily reunited at last exchanged hugs, kisses, embraces, and tears of joy and love.
Trunks Senior and Pan decided to fool around that night to celebrate, and since their son was off on a date with Amy. Trunks couldn't believe how strong his little man was. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say. Trunks held his loving wife passionately that night and talked for hours in bed just like the night they had before their separation. They both wished that the moment could have lasted forever.
Things were very bad. On their way home from a movie, Trunks and Amy had been confronted by Baxter in a dark alley, obviously drunk and carrying a Wellington M3 double-barreled western style shotgun with twenty-two inch gauge shells and weights to reduce recoil. Amy had almost passed out at the site of the weapon, Trunks was scared as well for Amy's safety. Baxter lurched forward and haphazardly aimed the gun at her. Trunks didn't have enough time to yank the gun out of Baxter's hand before he fired. Trunks leaped into the line of fire and took the shots for Amy. Amy shrieked in horror as she spotted six bullets spray from Trunks' back, the other nine had only bruised his chest.
Trunks tried to hold the bubbling blood in his mouth but failed. He looked up and saw Baxter taking aim again. Trunks suddenly stopped feeling pain or fear, and felt anger. He immediately lost control of his muscles and merely watched as his body pulsated and ripped through the lining of his sweater. His hair burst into powdery flashes of golden dust and soon was shooting lightning from its tips. Baxter fired and each bullet crushed on impact. He backed away slightly but Trunks was already in front of him and breaking the shotgun over his knee. Trunks couldn't control his movements and lay stupefied as his hands used the Tri-Sphere attack and vaporized Baxter, leaving nothing more than smoldering ashes.
End of Chapter 3.
Chapter 4
The Impossible Scenario
It had been a hectic night. The police had categorized the Baxter incident as a freak accident but were clueless to why they couldn't find the body. Amy and Trunks were both taken to the hospital for observation. Trunks wasn't injured too badly, mostly flesh wounds due to how off Baxter's aiming was. Trunks thanked all that was holy that Amy was okay, she had been scared shitless by the encounter, but she would be fine.
Goku lay in his bed that night dreaming of the horrible tragedy. He couldn't get it out of his head even in sleep, until a mysterious voice contacted him in his dreams.
You can't escape me Goku.
"What? Who are you?"
You know who I am; you can never destroy me!
"No.it can't be."
Hmph! You really thought you had beaten me? You are stupider than I thought.
"No! Get out of my head!"
Sorry, but you are mine now! You humiliated me all those years ago, and now I'm going to return the favor Grandulas!
Goku tossed and turned in his sleep screaming out in pain. He felt as if a dagger was digging through his brain and scrapping at his skull. He could hear an extremely loud, high-pitched ringing in his ears that would not stop. Goku jumped from his bed clutching his temples in anger and frustration, he could feel cool blood oozing from his scalp as he dug at it fiercely trying to stop the agony. Chi-Chi had already awoken and was screaming at the site of what was going on. Goku's hair flared from black, to blonde, to dark yellow, to a very long gold, then to a slightly long, straight up, golden tinge. His eyes had vanished and dark red rings surrounded his eyelids. Goku crouched and then burst through the ceiling and took off towards North City.
Goku landed in the middle of a plaza square in the midst of a large crowd of consumers. Goku narrowed his empty eyes and let loose a sonic boom that shattered all the glass, stone, rock, cement, and buildings within a ten mile radius! All that was left of where Goku stood was a deep crater where North City used to lay. Fire and destruction riddled the disturbed earth for miles; no one survived the sudden Armageddon that had befallen them. Goku looked up curiously to see Gohan; Goten, Trunks, Trunks' son, Vegeta, and Pan arrive in the air after a frantic call from Chi-Chi. They landed facing him and were mind-boggled at the destruction Goku had caused. Gohan paced forward silently attempting to talk to Goku.
"Dad! What's wrong with you? What happened?" Goku gave no answer; he just stood silently awaiting Gohan to shut-up. Goten and Trunks Senior exchanged nervous looks of worry. Goku assumed a fighting position and Gohan followed. Gohan crouched and increased his power to Super Saiyan 4. Goten tried running forward to break up the fight but Vegeta snatched him by the collar of his shirt and solemnly shook his head no. They stared on.
Gohan took a giant leap towards Goku and belted him across the face with a vigorous left hook! Goku felt nothing and retaliated with ten backbreaking shots to Gohan's right side. Gohan gasped in sudden short waves of anguish. Goku then cracked his elbow across Gohan's neck and nearly broke it. That settled it; Goten and Trunks lined up side by side and began the infamous fusion dance. Gohan reached his hand out in protest and even managed a choked plea of resistance. Gotenks emerged from a golden cloud of energy and threw himself at Goku using the Ghost Kamikaze Attack. Goku absorbed the ghosts and roundhoused Gotenks so hard he split back into Goten and Trunks.
Vegeta was preparing to enter the fray when all of a sudden; Goku fell to his knees and began screaming at the top of his lungs. Goku yelled out in ferocious agony and repeatedly crushed the sediment with his fists.
Stop it! You can't win!
He looked into the dark stormy sky and roared ominously until his Super Saiyan powers left him and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Goku awoke dazed and confused looking up into Dende's worried eyes. He sat up and immediately felt a sharp pain in his spine. Goku rubbed his sore back and realized that everyone was at the lookout watching him. Goku remembered nothing and had a headache like a son of a bitch. Goku opened his mouth to speak but felt his throat raw from swallowing and spitting up blood? He glanced over at Vegeta and saw that he was tearing away the remains of a broken tooth from his jaw and adjusting a broken rib. Gohan approached Goku wearily and began to explain.
End of Chapter 4.
Chapter 5
The Resurrection
Goku was destroyed. He clutched his sobbing eyes and cursed himself for even being capable of killing those innocent people. His friends comforted him and tried to make light of the situation but it was of no use. Dende had explained what was going on, Valdos, those last words he had enchanted before he died was a spell being cast. He cursed that if Goku were ever to reemerge in the living world that he would live on inside of him. It disgusted Goku to know that Valdos was infecting his mind and could control his actions at any moment- -Goku's head completely spun around until it was facing backwards! As if on cue Valdos worked his black magic and tore Goku apart from the inside. Goku screamed and pounced the tiled floor shaking the entire palace. Goku exploded with rage and materialized into Super-Saiyan 4 form. Pure dark energy consumed him and was making him become Valdos. Goku tried to hold control of his mind and could hear Valdos' insidious voice inside his deafening ears.
You can't win! I rule you now! I rain supreme, you are nothing but a worthless maggot, and you will perish under my power! Not even God can help you now you wretched bastard!
Goku imagined what would happen if he let Valdos take control again, he pictured what he would make him do to his family and friends, what he would end up doing to the earth. And he might get control of Goku permanently this time! Without thinking Goku ripped and clawed at his bare chest stupidly thinking Valdos would just leave. Miraculously, he was right.
Valdos appeared before Goku and the others. Goku's fur and hair were now a glossy silver and he wore a skirt like garment around his waist with peculiar markings embroidered around it. Valdos was very different in appearance. Most of his cloak was burned away except the shrouded hood. His bare arms and chest had deep scars all around; he also had a jagged looking red scar above and below his right eye. He also had a hovering gray, flat rectangle beside him instead of a scythe. It had a slit in the bottom and a red energy blade was flourishing from the opening.
Valdos laughed maniacally and rested his gleaming eyes on Goku. "I thank you Goku, you were quite a good host body for a while," he spat sarcastically. "If anything it was a weak outer shell!" Goku grit his teeth and cursed releasing Valdos from his body. The others had already powered up to their strongest Super Saiyan levels and were preparing for a bloodbath. "You may not have realized this Goku but while you were training with God, my power level was tripling every day of your death, alas I could not manifest my amazing new strength until now. Did you know my power level now exceeds one trillion?"
Goku froze like a water droplet in a snowstorm. "No way.h-he's bluffing, no one could be that strong, no one!" Valdos didn't just have his poker face tattooed on; he was dead serious. Goku couldn't deny it, Valdos was as strong as he was claiming to be. Everyone charged up their strongest attacks and aimed at Valdos, Goku tried to tell them to run away but he was too late. Valdos dodged every hit without even moving. Vegeta dashed forward and aimed his fist high into Valdos' face. Valdos grabbed it a centimeter from impact and quickly crushed Vegeta's hand. Gohan and Goten both used a Kamehameha to try and help Vegeta but Valdos deflected them sending Gohan and Goten out of the fight.
Trunks and his son ran up and repeatedly attacked Valdos in the back and chest but did no damage whatsoever. Valdos threw his right fist backwards landing it in Trunks' face! Trunks Jr. could feel the temperature of his blood rising and saw the veins appearing in his pulsating arms. He leaped into the air and somersaulted, he landed in front of Valdos and released his energy. He vanished in a dark cloud of smoke then reappeared in Super Saiyan form and kneed Valdos in the stomach followed by an elbow to the skull and a headbutt to the ribs!
Valdos stumbled a little and swayed from side to side, he wiped a drip of blood from his mouth and fired a thin beam of fire through Trunks JR's neck! The remaining fighters were all paralyzed or buried under smoldering debris. Goku was the only one left standing; he pressed his hands together for a Kamehameha when he felt a sharp pain rip through his back. Goku tilted his head downward to see Valdos' new weapon incased in his side. Goku continued on and through a blood filled mouth managed to speak. "Ka.me.ha.me." Goku paused and winced in pain as he felt the wound deepen and the blade grow hotter and sharper. Goku collapsed onto his feet when part of his backbone finally gave way and melted due to the intense heat of an energy burst from the weapon's tip. Valdos removed the energy blade and Goku sprang his arms up into Valdos' face. "Haaa!" Goku screamed sending a towering blast through Valdos and vaporizing the upper levels of the lookout! Valdos cocked his head away from the wave and floated in the air high above the palace. "You know Goku I have quite an interesting new power I neglected to reveal," Valdos spoke still rising. Goku was barely listening; he was dumbfounded by Valdos' effortless evasion of his attack.
"You see I have the power to manipulate time, and use it to my advantage. I can travel through ages of history, parallel worlds, alternate dimensions, and so on. And I can destroy it just as easily." Goku's eyes widened in shock as he listened on. "I can even make separate times flow into each other! I can cause utter chaos and madness, all I have to do is open the gate, and off I go!" Valdos waved his left hand queerly and expended a green force field around it. The flourishing energy eventually grew bigger and darker until it was a swirling vortex resembling a black hole. Goku sprinted into the air after Valdos firing rapid energy waves. They appeared to be going right through Valdos as if they were nothing but air? He hovered deeper and deeper into the portal and Goku followed. Goku fired the most gigantic Kamehameha he could manage but it warped and soon vaporized within the wormhole's magnetic field. Valdos all at one vanished in a bright explosion of lightning and the gate gradually began to close. Goku could feel his eyes growing weary and his muscles tiring, he thought he could feel his entire left side go numb before he completely blacked out.
Goku walked down the familiar Capsule Corp. hallway, he saw Vegeta and the others watching Bulma type away on a computer. They had all been healed by Dende after the fight and brought back to Capsule Corp. Goku asked how long he had been asleep and Bulma answered three days. Goku was overwhelmed with fear and worry. Bulma explained that the reason Goku had been so badly injured in the battle was the rays from the time portal. The gravity contained inside was over sixty million times earth's gravitational field! Valdos wasn't lying about how strong he had become, and if Goku had been inside the gate for another ten seconds his whole body would have liquefied!
Goku looked at his body and realized he was no longer in (what he now called) Super Saiyan 5 form. This form could only be achieved from S.S. 4 in a moment of great pain and anguish, instead of anger. Goku walked over to Bulma and began to speak. "Bulma I think I know where Valdos is going, I need you to build a upgraded version of Future Trunks' time capsule, one that can travel between dimensions and can withstand the gravity inside that vortex. And I need it by tomorrow!" "Sorry Goku but I couldn't build that in one night if I tried!" Bulma replied laughing. Goku grit his teeth and rammed his fist through Bulma's computer screen almost giving Bulma a heart attack!
"Bulma listen up! There's no trying you have to! If I'm right about where I think Valdos is going than we have to beat him there fast! Bulma gulped loudly and could do nothing but nod yes. "Good, I need to go talk to God," Goku spoke before dematerializing in a cloud of smoke.
Goku floated with God in his chamber, contemplating what to do. God had no way of helping his children through this battle. All that God could do was allow Goku to be able to open the gateway Valdos had opened linking the other worlds. The time portal he had passed through wasn't the normal one Future Trunks had used. Goku hoped that Bulma would be done with the ship soon. Goku had a strong hunch that Valdos was headed to one of two places: the beginning of time, to make sure it wouldn't happen, or during the war between Satan and God. There wasn't much time left.
Bulma had amazed Goku and the others yet again. The machine was not only built and ready to go, but she had also prepared a special serum to inject in them that would allow them to survive longer outside the vortex. Goku, Gohan, Goten, Goshin, Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, Brolly, Tien, Chautzio, Yamcha, Ubuu, Trunks, Pan, Trunks Jr., and Amy were going. They all had their things packed and were preparing to leave. Trunks Jr. and Amy held hands tightly as they boarded nervously. So did Trunks and Pan. This was much like the situation last time, only the odds were stacked much higher in Valdos' favor.
End of Chapter 5.
Chapter 6
Separation
It was a cold, dark night. The vortex was lonely and unforgiving. Gohan was at the controls and becoming very drowsy, he had been flying for twenty-four hours straight! No one spoke, no one thought, hardly anyone even moved. Everyone was too paralyzed with fear to do anything. Except Goku of course. The only thing he could think about was why Valdos was the way he was. Why was he so evil? What had done this to him? Maybe it was his choice, or maybe not. All Goku knew was if there were any trace of human still inside him, he would find it. The ship rattled and jumped a little, most likely due to turbulence.
Everyone was becoming lightheaded and beginning to drift into sleep. Gohan put the ship in autopilot and left the controls to join the others in the bunker. Krillin had prepared some midnight snacks for everyone and put them on a tray. Krillin casually walked into the bunker with Piccolo preparing to serve. As Piccolo lightly stepped he saw a peculiar red dot on the floor and ceiling.Piccolo dropped the food instantly and tackled Krillin and Vegeta to the ground! A split second later the outer hull of the ship exploded sending giant pieces flying everywhere! Valdos leaped inside through the hole. Just like the Titanic, the ship began splitting and bending in half until it shattered into two separate pieces!
Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Trunks Jr., Amy, Piccolo, Ubuu, Tien, Yamcha, Chautzio, and Vegeta all went flying into the vortex and soon vanished in a burning cloud of light. Goku remained hanging onto the edge of the still floating half of the ship desperately. Valdos stood watching him, debating whether or not to let him fall or kill him. Goku aimed one bruised arm upward at Valdos' face and charged up an energy blast. Goku fired not knowing that the extreme gravity would send the wave back at him and cause him to spiral into the depths of the wormhole. Valdos watched as Goku disappeared into the dark oblivion. Feeling a sense of accomplishment, he released his cape blowing in the violent wind, and shot out a protruding pair of bat-like wings that carried him off into the horizon.
End of Chapter 6.
Chapter 7
Stranded
Gohan tried as hard as he could to steady himself as he hurtled through a cloud-filled sky. He had no idea when or where he was, that fall from the ship could have sent him anywhere and any place in history! Or worse, he could be in an alternate dimension or parallel world. Gohan felt friction building on his back and his body temperature begin to rise significantly. He continued trying to turn in mid-air but was falling way too fast. Finally after turning Super Saiyan he righted himself only to meet face-first with a floating base of some sort. Gohan wished he had been able to turn sooner; he now had some broken ribs and a couple of bruises from the fall. But if he didn't turn when he did, he might've shattered his spinal cord.
Gohan finally found the strength to get up and marveled at the amazing sunset in the distance. He was obviously on a small gas planet nearby to a star; he had landed on some kind of control station. It had a three-yard long base with a large overhang and a radio tower. The only food there was, were some applesauce, a few cans of olives, and some old tuna. If he divided the food evenly, he'd have enough for two days. Gohan had to formulate a plan, and soon. Gohan observed his surroundings and found a megaphone, some electrical wires, a half-empty canister of rocket fuel and.wait! Rocket fuel, a megaphone, Gohan was a genius at these kinds of things and was slowly developing a plan. After an hour, Gohan loaded the remaining rocket fuel into the bottom of the base's engine, used the electrical wires to tie the megaphone to the engine, and was ready to go.
Firing up the engine would propel the base into the sky, the sonic boom of the engine would be filtered through the megaphone causing the wires to short circuit and fry the base's CPU. Then Gohan would fire an energy attack in the air after the CPU would explode firing a pulse magnetic charge upwards. The resulting crossfire would reopen the time gate for ten seconds. All Gohan needed to do was find some way to ignite the rocket fuel. He couldn't use an energy wave because it would be too strong and destroy his makeshift ship. Gohan heard a peculiar noise in the distance.
Out of nowhere a fleet of alien ships careened towards the base and took fire! Gohan instantly put up an energy field. Someone had found out Gohan was here! Gohan left the shield behind (knowing if he let it down they'd destroy his only way off the planet) and turned Super Saiyan. Gohan flew onto one of the armored, spider-shaped aircrafts and yanked the pilot through the hard metal. Gohan threw the man off the ship and leaped onto another, this time he powered up a Destructo Disk and lanced off its wings. There were five remaining ships; Gohan could take them out with one blast. Gohan fired an attack he hadn't used in a while, the Masenko. Gohan let loose destroying all but one. This one was spiraling towards his base. Gohan quickly snapped a blast at it with his finger and just barely saved the ship.
A fiery spark of some sort must have gotten into the thruster, because a few seconds later the ship took off at incalculable speeds upwards! Gohan burst into S.S. 2 and barely caught the base as the portal slowly opened and swallowed it. Gohan held the radio tower frightened as the ship jumped and rattled through the vortex; finally Gohan could no longer keep his grip and fell off.
The ground shook lightly and small dust particles hurtled into the air. Krillin arose from the ground half buried in sand. He looked around curiously and found Piccolo staring off into the landscape. "Hey Piccolo! Where're the others?" Krillin asked worriedly. "They're not here. That attack Valdos made on us sent each of us into a different timeline or dimension." Krillin grit his teeth and widened his eyes. Piccolo saw slight panic in Krillin's face so he told him what he had found.
"Krillin, we're on Namek. One week before my brother and family were killed in the storm." Krillin gulped loudly and was pondering what to do. The most logical answer was to find the Nameks. But that was easier said than done. They decided to split up and see what they could find.
Master Roshi laid at Valdos' heels bleeding to death. He looked up with tired eyes and cursed the abomination. "Valdos.Goku and the others.will come-back! And defeat.you!" "Oh really?" Valdos questioned. "The way I've handled things so far I don't think they're ever coming back." Master Roshi punched the ground and cursed under his breath. Valdos used some sort of black magic and his new rectangular weapon transformed into a large switchblade. Master Roshi's eyes lit up with fear under his shattered sunglasses. Valdos without hesitation lifted the blade behind his head and swung it with all his might.
They had found one Namek village. The others they ran across were barren and deserted. The Nameks welcomed Piccolo and Krillin with open arms and invited them stay at their village. A few hours later there was a campfire going and they were all feasting on the delicious Ajisa plants. Piccolo decided not say his real name in front of them because he noticed a small Namekian boy by the name of Piccolo, as well as his brother Pikkon. The village elder Katatsu was telling a Namekian tale of old as the others gathered around in a circle. "Brothers, I will retell the legend of Fuiwizakan Olimae." In English it meant "Nameks of Fusion." Krillin and Piccolo were puzzled by this and listened closely.
"Long, long, ago there were a race of Nameks who had a hidden power that only manifested itself in the hearts of great evil. They were known as Super Nameks, they terrorized Namek for many generations until three wise elders banned together to create a new form of fusion known as Nanatarra. It is said that creating a series of Tai-Chi-like movements followed by a spiraling twirl with arms folded across the chest did the dance. More movements were performed followed by another spiral, and then the two Nameks involved in the fusion would immediately engage in a quick sparring session, then join hands and bellow 'fusion!' This fusion technique was much more beneficial than our conventional ways, since it wasn't permanent, the two could decide when to unfuse, and it dramatically increased their powers.
"But the Namekian elders also invented three fusion relics to use in the dance: the Triangle of Fusion, the Diamond of Fusion, and the Ring of Fusion. It is said that the triangle can fuse three people and multiply their powers by ten. The diamond can fuse four and multiply their power levels by quadruple! No one is quite sure if the ring truly exists, but it can fuse any amount of beings, and some say it will make their power infinite! Using these, the elders finally drove away the evil Nameks and our planet saw peace once again."
Piccolo and Krillin made note of this legend for future reference, as it seemed important and could prove to their advantage in the coming battle. After that they all decided to rest and relax. Piccolo had already requested to use the Namek's Dragon Balls to take them back into the time hole, but they wouldn't be active for another three days.
But unknown to the people of Namek, a storm was coming in exactly three days, the one that would threaten to wipe them out and destroy their beautiful planet. Piccolo knew this however, and him and Krillin were secretly preparing.
Piccolo and Krillin woke up to see hurricanes and massive title waves ravaging the land outside. Nameks ran and feared for their lives as they attempted to escape the absolution that had befallen them. Piccolo and Krillin frantically got as many Nameks to high ground as they could then turned their attention to the storm. Piccolo and Krillin both fired energy waves at the dark clouds vanquishing them upon impact. Piccolo fired a Special Beam Cannon attack at the tornadoes, which inhaled them until vaporization. Krillin used an enormous heat blast that evaporated most of the oncoming waves of seawater.
Finally the deadly storm had vanished and Piccolo and Krillin were worshiped as heroes. Katatsu motioned for the two Namekian boys to retrieve the Dragon Balls. Piccolo approached Katatsu, his father, cautiously. "Oh brave warriors from space, how can we ever repay you?" Katatsu asked Piccolo warmheartedly. Piccolo sighed and answered the difficult question. "Katatsu, I must tell you who I really am.I am your son, from the future," Piccolo chanted solemnly. Katatsu caught his chest and flinched a bit. "Father, in the future there is a being of immeasurable evil named Valdos. He threatens to destroy everything in the universe if my friends and I do no defeat him. We have nowhere near enough power though. What I'm about to ask may be difficult, but it must be said. Krillin and I need one of the fusion relics."
Katatsu contemplated this thoroughly. On the one hand, the relics were part of their heritage and a part of who they were as Nameks. But on the other hand. "Please father, if you don't give at least one of them to us then the entire universe will be destroyed." After several minutes of weighing options, Katatsu finally agreed. He mentioned the relics being inside a sealed mountain miles away. When the Nameks summoned Porunga, they asked him to give Piccolo and Krillin the Diamond of Fusion. The second wish was to relay a message to all of the members of their party that had been scattered throughout time. The message read:
To whoever receives this Letter,
This is Krillin and Piccolo, we are fine, and we have something that could prove useful against Valdos. If any of you are on Namek, ask the elders about the "fusion relics" and the Nanatarra form of fusion.
Piccolo & Krillin
The third and final wish was to send Piccolo and Krillin spiraling back into the time warp, in the hopes of meeting up with the others.

Chapter 8
Goku's Revelation
Out of all the others, Goku imagined that he had been sent to the most ironic of places. Goku had been zapped to the day the human tribe had created a mutiny against Valdos when he was still alive. Goku watched in horror as villagers hacked away at Valdos and gave him permanent scars all across his body. Valdos screamed in agony as he slaughtered the pore defenseless people until there were no more. Valdos tore the dark cloak off of a fallen man and draped it around himself.
Valdos approached the only living human, a tall, slender woman. Goku couldn't hear them from his position. But he saw Valdos down on his knees and perhaps begging to her. She ran away in fear and disgust. Goku closed his eyes before almost witnessing Valdos murder the woman with his bare hands. Valdos then collapsed onto the now blood encrusted earth and cried himself to sleep.
Goku knew now what had turned him evil, what had scarred his tortured mind. Valdos wasn't truly evil, in a sense anyway. He was just, misunderstood. But Valdos couldn't be forgiven for taking his madness to such extremes. Even if his reasons were just. Losing a loved one and causing a massacre is enough to drive any normal man insane. Future Trunks was evidence enough. Goku had only one thing left to do: confront Valdos and set free his mangled soul, so he could never hurt anyone again. Or want to. But first he had to find a way back to earth in his own time.
End of Chapter 8.
Chapter 9
Vegeta's Loss
An extremely vast desert on a healed earth suddenly became home to thousands of small craters and one gigantic one only hours ago. Shattered pieces of a ship littered the pockmarked land. The large crater had a fourth of the ship imbedded in it. A small blotch of sand near it appeared to be dyed red? A ravaged arm punched itself from the suffocating sand. Vegeta's cut and bleeding head breached the surface. He wondered why he couldn't move his left arm, and why he couldn't feel his legs. Vegeta tried with all his might to dislodge the rest of his body from the sand but could not. Vegeta concentrated and released a bellowing cry and emerged into Super Saiyan. He yanked himself out, and dragged himself out of the crater so he could examine his wounds.
It was bad, really, really bad. Vegeta's lower body had been crushed under a section of the ship after impact with the ground. He had cuts and bruises all around, but the worst was a dislocated arm (easily fixable, he done so many times), and his legs were practically holding on by a thread. Eighty percent of the skin had been ripped or torn off, muscle was punctured or smashed, both legs were broken, and there was an unstoppable flow of blood. With exerting as little power as possible, Vegeta popped his dislocated arm back into place with much pain. Vegeta now began dragging his broken and tattered body across the seemingly endless sand dunes. The sand surely wouldn't help, but maybe the cool morning air might begin to clot his wounds.
Vegeta had been moving for six hours straight, he had gotten about nine miles, a thick line of blood followed him all the way. Vegeta was feeling very weak from the blood loss and didn't have the energy to go on. Vegeta could only think of one more thing to try. Vegeta removed a flashlight from his pocket and bit down on it hard. He tried as hard as he could to hover above ground. Vegeta gently set himself down on his feet standing. He probably stood for two seconds wobbling. His right leg gave way and the upper and lower leg bones snapped in half! Vegeta fell to the earth face first and screamed in unimaginable pain and torture.that was the last time Vegeta ever used his legs again.
Trunks flew through the air happily. He loved everything on earth now. Everything was so peaceful with the Androids gone and done with. Trunks flew across a desolate desert and enjoyed the humid breeze through his long lavender hair. He stopped short when he spotted a red spot in the sand. Trunks flew down to it and picked up a handful and let the sand seep from his hand. There was blood left after all the sand had fallen back down into the dune. Trunks worriedly dug through the sand and nearly fainted when he came across the beaten body of his father.
Trunks quickly slumped him over his back and headed back for Capsule Corp. He was unconscious and had lost two thirds of his blood supply. Trunks was glad he had found him when he did, if he had arrived any later, Vegeta would've bled to death.
Vegeta awoke the next day in the Capsule Corp.'s hospitalization room. Bulma and Trunks explained what had happened. They had to amputate Vegeta's legs and give him cybernetic attachments. Vegeta told them the situation with Valdos and that he needed to get back to his own timeline. Unfortunately, Bulma had destroyed the time machine, seeing as there was no more use for it since the Androids were gone. And she didn't have enough money to buy the parts she needed to rebuild it. But there was hope, Trunks and Vegeta could enter the coming World Martial Arts Tournament and win the prize money to by the parts they needed.
Trunks trained Vegeta on how to use his new legs in the coming week and prepared for the tournament. Finally the day came and Vegeta and Trunks both passed the test to win a slot in the competition. Most of the fights went by quickly and Vegeta and Trunks breezed through their matches. They almost thought they'd end up fighting each other in the final round! Vegeta drank a bottle of cold water while watching the matches go by. Vegeta spotted Spopovitch and Yamu in the dugout-like corner.they both had calligraphic M's on their foreheads! Vegeta dropped his bottle in fear and astonishment. "No.it can't be.Babidi, he must be here collecting energy for Majin Buu!" Vegeta wasted no time and burst into Super Saiyan. He sprang forward and with a Big Bang attack, vaporized the two wizard slaves. Trunks demanded to know what was going on, but Vegeta only grabbed him by the arm and took off from the arena.
Vegeta filled Trunks in on the incident with Majin Buu and Babidi; they headed for where Babidi's ship was docked. There it was, poking out of a circle of disturbed earth. They broke down the doors and fought their way through the different levels until they reached Babidi and Dabura.
Babidi used his telepathic magic and found out who Vegeta was. Babidi spread his arms outwards at Vegeta and powered up some sort of magic attack. "Well Vegeta," he began. "How would you like to become my slave?" Vegeta backed up and clenched his teeth. "Well too bad!" Babidi released a burst of energy surrounding Vegeta and constricting him. Vegeta let out a cry of pain and grasped his head. Babidi fired more energy into him and Vegeta fell to his knees and became Super Saiyan. Trunks desperately tried to help his father but his efforts were futile. Vegeta screamed out again and flared into S.S. 2, followed by a dramatic change to S.S. 3. Vegeta opened his eyes with a hate filled look in them and slowly began to fend off the magic. Babidi tried harder but Vegeta was stronger than he had anticipated.
"You.wont.control my mind Babidi.not.again!" Vegeta roared louder and more ear piercing than a lion, tiger, bear, and Oozaru combined! He flung Babidi and Dabura into a wall and his energy was so powerful it engulfed and destroyed Buu's prison and Babidi's ship. After the smoke and fog cleared, Vegeta stood with pale, empty eyes, upright spiky hair, and a purely golden aura. Vegeta pointed his head towards Dabura and vanished. Vegeta was moving twice the speed of light and ran ten feet in front of Dabura and then launched himself through Dabura's chest cavity! Dabura gawked in horror and tried to grab his torn entrails and organs. He slowly cocked his head and saw Vegeta flying behind. That was the last thing he saw before Vegeta unleashed a Final Shrine attack that completely vaporized what was left of Dabura.
Babidi felt sick. He had witnessed his only protection and his father's creation become destroyed in but an instant. Vegeta materialized face to face with Babidi and dropkicked him into the air; Vegeta flew in front of him and diagonally karate-chopped across his abdomen, slicing him in half! Babidi almost fell to the ground but was stopped short as Vegeta released a Big Bang attack that put an end to his reign of terror, forever.
Vegeta bid farewell to his wife and son before he departed for his own time, Trunks felt as if situations were reversed, and that Vegeta looked exactly like he did when he first came from the future. Trunks knew this wasn't the end though, Trunks had a feeling that he might be needed in this epic battle, he would gladly offer his assistance when the time came.
End of Chapter 9.
Chapter 10
True Love Conquers All
Trunks Jr. awoke in a desert identical to the one Vegeta had crash- landed in, only this is where the other three fourths of the time cruiser was. Trunks stood up and looked around for anyone else. He doubled over when he spotted a knocked out Amy laying half buried in the sand. Trunks picked her up in his arms and stared at her beautiful face. Trunks headed for the still intact cockpit and left side of the ship, which was imbedded in the sand except the opening door. Trunks went inside and laid Amy down. Trunks checked the cabinets, there was a two-day food supply left, Trunks changed into a sky-blue jacket and baggy pants and took out some fruit and a bag of pretzels.
Eventually Amy awoke. She had a broken arm and cracked ribs, but she'd be fine. They both ate and Trunks bandaged Amy's arm and ribs. Amy felt so lucky to have Trunks. She had had a crush on him even before Kindergarten when her mom used to take her to Trunks' to play and see Pan and Goshin. But Amy had known that she loved him after she started dating him in Jr. High. They were only sixteen, but they were made for each other.
Trunks and Amy fell asleep in a passionate embrace an hour later in the cockpit's front seat. Trunks awoke a few hours later; he carefully dislodged himself from Amy's arms and decided to find out where they were. Trunks exited the ship and flew around until he spotted a city; it was barren and deserted. Everything was in shambles, Trunks continued searching until he found a large scabbard on the ground with a sword in it. It was his father's. Trunks clutched his heart and felt physical pain at the thought of his father being dead. Trunks searched around madly until he came across the corpse of Gohan. Trunks backed away then noticed the two scars on Gohan's cheeks and the missing arm.after checking some more of the city he realized it was Future Trunks' time. But it was an hour after his father's future self had become a Super Saiyan for the first time after seeing Gohan's death. The transformation must have been what had awoken him.
Trunks headed back towards the ship frantically buckled the sword around his chest. Trunks landed near the location of the ship and bust down the door. The moment he entered, Amy grabbed him by the shirt collar and screamed like crazy. "Where the hell were you? I was worried sick!" She proclaimed angrily. Trunks pulled her hand off of his shirt and sat down to explain. "We're in Future Trunks' timeline, about the same time he changed into a Super Saiyan for the first time. I found what would've someday become his sword. We need to gather the remaining ship parts and reassemble them." "Are you kidding? We're missing parts to the ship, plus, we'd have to dig through this entire desert to find all the parts! Let alone piece them all together!" Amy rebutted frantically. The couple argued for a while before realizing it was the only choice. Amy and Trunks flew around desperately searching for any parts they could find.
Most of the ship was there, and a good-sized part was still intact. Since Amy and Trunks both possessed keen and intelligent minds, it wouldn't take much time to rebuild. In less than half a day, it was complete. Well, it was mostly complete. Part of the outer hull was missing, so was one of the wings and a thruster. But it would still fly, for a little while at least.
Soon, Trunks fired up the engines and him and Amy were off. The time portal slowly opened and took them into an ocean of green, blue, black, and silver waves of energy. The vortex was a very lonely place. But at least Trunks and Amy had each other.
The ship jolted. It jumped slightly as if it was in turbulence. Then it abruptly stopped. Trunks gulped loudly and removed his sword. He opened the top hatch to the ship and crossed his fingers; hoping Valdos wouldn't be out there. Trunks skittered across the surface of the ship frightened. Then, something sharp sliced into Trunks' back. The blade stung like a thousand stings from a black widow spider. The blade started as cold as a pick of ice, then the wound shifted to the heat of boiling water on a stovetop.
Trunks collapsed to the ground and looked up to see the face of death, the shadow of all evil. Valdos smiled devilishly and cackled as if he'd just murdered a village of children. Valdos grossly licked the trail of blood off the tip of his scythe and sheathed it. Trunks could barely move with this long, eight-inch cut in his back that almost reached the bone. Trunks finally found the strength to rise but then felt the weight of thirty anvils plunge into his stomach in the form of Valdos' boot.
Trunks remained standing but was now coughing out blood. Trunks yanked out his sword and feebly attempted to cut Valdos, but it was no use, Valdos was too fast. Trunks' blood began to boil. The familiar force of unbridled energy began to overtake him once again. Trunks could feel the wound in his back sealing closed. Trunks sprung from the ground and exploded in a golden blast of energy. Trunks' hair levitated upward and fazed into a light blonde color.
Valdos smirked, unsurpassed still, or so he thought. Trunks appeared behind Valdos and kneed him in the back so hard, he would have felt it through six steel tanks. Valdos gasped in horror as he flew involuntarily across the ship as fast as a bullet. Valdos skidded across the surface of the aircraft leaving large dents and marks. Trunks appeared before him and delivered a crushing blow, sending Valdos into the hollow, empty bulk of the engine casing. Valdos soared inside and bounced off the metal walls. Trunks followed him inside and felt an updraft of heat. They were inside the thrusters.
Trunks felt a tingling at the base of his temples. A soft voice felt like it was whispering in his ear. It was Amy. Amy was trying to contact him through telepathy.
Trunks! Lure him into the magnetic engine grating! If I turn up the jets, they'll incinerate him if he's close enough!
Trunks acknowledged the piece of advice and charged Valdos once again. He kneed Valdos hard in the stomach, then delivered a brutal roundhouse kick straight into the face. Valdos flew backward like a cannonball and collided with the magnetic grater. Trunks immediately saw the window of opportunity open and shot two magnetic beams like cufflinks across Valdos' wrists.
Valdos furiously tried to break himself free but wasn't strong enough. Trunks spun in mid-air and flew like a bullet as fast as he could to get back out to the ship's surface. Valdos felt the blazing heat building at the base of his spine and roared in terror as a molten cloud of fire blasted across him and flared out of the tunnel like a fist. Trunks leaped out of the barrel just as a plume of fire had caught the bottom of his pant legs.
Trunks planted himself on the ledge of the engine barrel, ready for Valdos to reemerge. Trunks waited impatiently until a scorched hand burst from the still flowing inferno. The hand desperately tried to grab at him, but slowly sunk back into the fire that was now practically lava. The hand sunk completely under the surface and evaporated.Valdos was dead. Trunks could hardly believe what he had just done. He had defeated Valdos, once thought to be the most powerful being in existence. Trunks smiled at himself proudly, and turned back towards the ship's entrance.
The only thing left to do was to find the rest of the Z-Warriors, and get home.
End of Chapter 10. Chapter 11 Zymax, The Reunion
After Tien, Yamcha, and Chautzio had explained who they were to the Nameks, they instantly knew why they had come. They were friends of Piccolo and Krillin, the duo that had appeared on their planet exactly ten years before and had received The Diamond of Fusion from them. And now, this threesome desired the triangle. A logical idea, and since Piccolo and Krillin had claimed to have come from the future, this trio's present time must have been these groups of Namek's past. The newly claimed Namekian leader; Guru, used his malignant powers over the mind to unlock Tien, Yamcha, and Chautzio's hidden abilities and powers.
Guru then finally decided to give them The Triangle of Fusion. Sensing the battle with Valdos was not yet over; he used his powers that were much stronger than Katatsu's, to open the Fusion Cave. The group marveled when they saw its inner workings. It was a huge rainbow colored chamber with three indentations in the center of the floor. A diamond, triangle, and ring. The diamond and ring were both missing, but the triangle remained. Tien took the cold triangle in his hands. It was about the size of Chautzio's body. Its material, not even Guru could decipher. But the most important thing was that now the Z-Warriors stood a chance.
This small victory however was short lived. Because Guru suddenly began receiving a telepathic message that was appearing to give him physical pain. Tien rushed to his side to comfort him but was pushed away by Guru in desperation. "Please! Go to the village! Slug, he's attacking! He's become a Super Namek!" Guru gasped trying to breathe. Tien froze when he heard the name. Lord Slug, this must have been the time when he had first become a Super Namek and began his reign of terror across the universe.
The three burst from the cavern and sped across the sky diligently. The sky was as black as midnight. And in the distance, Yamcha could see Porunga, the Namekian Eternal Dragon. The group arrived just in time, as Slug was about to trample a huddled group of innocent people. Chautzio desperately gazed into Tien's eyes fearfully. "Tien, we have to save them!" Chautzio pleaded. Tien shook his head in fury. "We can't, we aren't as strong as Goku or Piccolo were when they beat him." Yamcha grit his teeth angrily. Then he froze. "Tien, we have to use the triangle! We have no choice!" Yamcha shouted, knowing the Namek's time was growing short. "No, we need to save it for Goku and the others, it'd be a waste on us!" "We have no choice," Yamcha retaliated fiercely. Each fusion relic could only be used once. Finally, Tien nodded.
Tien tossed the ring into the air and the three separated while doing the dance. Each movement was as graceful as if in a dance. Each move was performed flawlessly. The trio folded their arms over their chests and spun inward. The group met in the center and sparred until the triangle neared them. They separated one last time, but only three feet away. The triangle fell. Each of them grasped a side before it collided with the ground.
Immediately the triangle shattered, sending a wave of tremendous energy across them and pulling them in. Soon the once three people were now a mass of slowly shaping bulk. After all the smoke and dust settled, there stood a tall man, his body was made of a silver liquid except from the neck up, he had three eyes, red cheeks, and his hair was a continuously streaming bolt of lightning.
Slug turned toward the warrior and gawked in utter stupidity. "Who are you?" Slug questioned. The man only answered by silently uttering a name: "Zymax." In seconds, Zymax had already delivered thousands of blows to Slug without him even catching a glimpse of it. Slug felt strong cracks and slams all across his body. Slug tried to outmaneuver, but Zymax was too fast. Eventually, Zymax formed his entire body into a liquid state and fired it twenty times faster than a bullet, through Slug's forehead.
Slug saw nothing more, heard nothing more, and collapsed to the ground. Dead, and defeated. Minutes later, the first of the last two Dragon Ball wishes were used to make the users of the fusion relics able to fuse more than once. The second was to completely reassemble their time ship, and reunite the Z-Warriors.

Chapter 1
First Day of Kindergarten
Trunks arose from his bed fully rested and ready to begin his day. This was a big day for him after all, it was his first day of school at Orange Star Elementary and he didn't want to be late. He quickly changed into the set of clothes his mother had left for him on his bedpost. He wore a pair of blue jeans and a long sleeved sweatshirt. He bolted downstairs and greeted his mom as she placed some fresh, piping hot pancakes on the table for him. Goshin sat down on the adjacent seat and removed his CD player headphones. "Yo sis, pass me the syrup!" Goshin yelled. Pan slammed the maple syrup on the table startling him. Trunks quickly wolfed down his breakfast and practically flew out the door. Trunks leaped into the air and called the Nimbus cloud to him. Trunks breathed deeply as he flew through the cool morning air and spotted his school coming into view. He hopped off the cloud when no one was looking and ran up to greet his friend Sam.
Sam waved hello to Trunks; Sam was his best friend after his uncle Goshin. Sam told him that they had a new student in their class. This surprised Trunks a little considering the class was composed of mostly the same kids from their Pre-School. "Yeah it's a girl and she is hot!" Sam spoke excitedly. Trunks' eyes bulged from his head when he saw her walking through the entrance gate. Sam was right, even more so than Trunks had thought. It was Android 18's youngest daughter, she and Trunks were friends. She approached the boys casually. She had long blonde hair much like her mother's; she wore a red ribbon in her hair, and had a blue skirt and white T-shirt on. "Hi guys," she giggled. Trunks could barely keep his mouth closed. He finally managed to give a proper greeting. "H-Hi Amy," Trunks blurted out. Amy giggled again and skipped towards the classroom door.
Free-play, naptime, and snack went by relatively fast. Trunks had told his mom not to pick him up from school and that he wanted to go to Sam's house. Sam lived much closer to the school and was only three blocks away. But as they walked they had no idea they were being followed. Baxter and his gang proceeded to grab Sam by the backpack and toss him into a bush. Trunks looked up at the group of 5th Graders very frightened. "How much money ya got punk?" He growled through yellow, unbrushed teeth. Trunks shivered and pulled ten dollars out of his pocket. "Not enough kid!" He yelled and grabbed Trunks by the collar of his shirt. He punched Trunks three times in the stomach until he began to cry in pain. Baxter then dropped Trunks and kicked him in the shins while he was still on the ground. "Whadda ya say, next time tomorrow, pipsqueak?" he and his friends laughed before taking off cowardly. Sam finally removed himself from the prickly thorn bush and went help his friend.
That night Pan bandaged up her son and cleaned his wounds. Goshin stood with his arms folded outside the bathroom door making outrageous rants and threats about the scumbag who messed up his nephew. Pan was getting quite annoyed and frustrated trying to help her son and put up with this idiot at the same time. "Goshin, shouldn't you be getting back home to mom now?" Pan growled. Goshin shrugged and picked up his things. "Kay, all I'm saying is, teach the friggin' kid how to fight!" That's when Pan snapped. She picked up Goshin by the underwear and hurled him out the second story window! Goshin floated above the ground and flew away scared. "Alright, alright, I'm going!"
This went on for countless weeks. Everyday after school Trunks would be beaten senseless by Baxter and the other bullies. Finally Trunks couldn't take it anymore, and approached his mother with a very unexpected request. "Mom, you know how you're always telling me how strong dad was before he died?" Pan nodded as she happily washed dishes in the kitchen while Goshin danced in the living room with a bandage around his tail from his last window shot put.
"Mom.I wanna learn how to fight! Like dad," he explained. Goshin slipped on the floor and looked over at his sister and nephew in the kitchen. Pan had hoped Trunks wouldn't ask her this. Fighting had brought back a lot of bad memories from the battle with Valdos. The argument went on late into the night until she eventually caved in when he said that he would learn how to fight even if Goshin had to teach him (even though he was much weaker than Pan). "Fine son! We start tomorrow at 5:00 AM, bright and early!" Trunks was overjoyed and slept like a baby that night, awaiting his first lesson.
End of Chapter 1.
Chapter 2
An Unexpected Ability
Trunks stood face to face with Pan in the gravity room. Bulma was very gracious in lending them a training capsule after Pan told her what was going on. Pan had already taught him the basics: left hook, right hook, jab, elbow, palm thrust, karate chop, backhand, fronthand, headbutt, energy attacks, punch, kick, roundhouse, dodge, backflip, frontflip, and flight. Trunks was ready for his first battle. He dashed towards Pan and sent a jab at her face but she jumped to the left and threw back a left hook to the ribs. Trunks bit his lip and let out a few tears. Whether it was on purpose or not, Pan hit a lot harder than Baxter did. Trunks continued the attack and fired his right knee at her stomach; Pan dodged and shot an energy beam at Trunks. Trunks ducked it and landed an elbow into Pan's gut! Pan smiled and grabbed the elbow and twisted it out of her stomach.
Trunks was losing and although he was learning his mom's patterns, he somehow wasn't able to follow or predict her movements. He was in pain and missing when his mom would normally be kissing his wounds and making them better, not causing them. He cried a little at that thought and Pan rushed at him. "Isn't this what you wanted Trunks? You wanted to learn how to fight and now you have to learn how to take it!" She socked Trunks in the face and he fell to the ground with a dull thump. Pan was getting worried, maybe she was pushing him too hard, he was only six years old for God's sake!
Pan's eyes widened to the size of pinballs. Trunks floated above her angrily and lightning began striking him through the ceiling. "No, he can't be.he is!" she thought to herself when Trunks' hair flashed a golden sheen and sharpened dramatically. Trunks let out an ear- piercing shriek that racked the walls of the gravity room! A fissure shot across every angle in the floor and shattered the walls. Trunks felt like a burning flame was ripping him to pieces and could no longer hold in his rage. He screamed once again and his hair sprang upward and exploded into an extremely golden shade. It wasn't possible, it couldn't happen, shouldn't happen, but it was. Trunks had become a Super Saiyan!
His power was unbelievable! Pan might have been getting older, but she wasn't old enough yet to mistake power levels. Trunks' energy was above what Valdos' was five years ago! Trunks stopped hovering and fell to his knees. His hair burst back into its original gray-violet color. Pan ran towards her son and kneeled in front of him. "Trunks! Do that again!" She ordered. Trunks couldn't do anything but breathe for a few moments. "I.I can't!" he panted. "Whadda ya mean you can't? You just did!" Trunks shook his head no again. Pan decided to call it quits for the day, she also wanted to keep him home from school. Normally after their first transformation, a Super Saiyan could change at will. But Trunks was different somehow. It would seem that he could only change when he was in rage.
Trunks was getting much stronger as the weeks passed on. He could now accurately sense Pan's movements and sometimes even beat her! Trunks could already train in over 100g's, but he still could not control his Super Saiyan powers nonetheless. He had even developed his own attack: the Tri-Sphere. It was a technique where three golden energy orbs would charge into his hands and fire outward, manifested in a wave closely resembling Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon.
Goshin had also given Trunks a few pointers as well. Even though he was kind of weak, he still had some pretty good moves. Soon Trunks was finally ready to take on Baxter and his thugs. He would wait until the next afternoon, when they would surely attack him.
End of Chapter 2.
Chapter 3
The Good News
Baxter walked up to Trunks cracking his knuckles and straightening his shirt. Trunks was nervous, this was what he'd finally been waiting for, a chance to get back at Baxter for over three months of torture. Sam reluctantly hid in a bush not knowing whether to help out his friend or not. Baxter was now right in Trunks' face and ready to deliver the first blow. He sent his right fist flying into Trunks; Trunks ignored his better judgement and caught the hit before it impacted. Baxter practically crapped his pants when he'd realized what had happened. Trunks leaped over him and did a double-reverse roundhouse kick on Baxter sending him flying into the sun-baked pavement.
Baxter turned and attempted to kick Trunks, but again he caught the attack. Trunks let go and uppercut him knocking out several of his teeth and cracking his jaw. The other mob members scattered like a swarm of scared ants. Baxter lay on the ground unconscious and bleeding from the mouth. Trunks had finally done it.
Trunks thought life couldn't get any better; he was on top of the world. After his stand against the bullies he was recognized as the coolest and the toughest kid in school. Not even the high and mighty 6th Graders dared to mess with him. This reputation followed him for ten long years until he was in High School. Amy was now his girlfriend, Sam was thought to be the second coolest kid in school for being Trunks' best friend, and Trunks was still training and becoming stronger. But one day, his mother came to school to give him urgent news and pulled Trunks from fifth period quite forcibly.
Pan flew with her son heading to Dende's lookout. It turns out; that Goku and the others had finally finished they're training under God in the Spirit Realm. God told Dende that if they traveled to Namek and used the Namekian Dragon Balls, they would be able to bring everyone back to life! Trunks was thrilled that he would finally be able to meet his father, and Chi-Chi, Ox-King, Goshin, Videl, Bra, Bulma, Master Roshi, Amy, Android 18, and Marron were overjoyed to be allowed to come along on the voyage.
"Paparunga, paka, nobleana, poporempten, saratae." Dende chanted calling Porunga from his slumber in Namek's core. They only needed one of his three wishes: "bring back all the good people who died during the battle with Valdos!" Porunga was happy to grant the request (well not really happy, you all know how the dragons are). A majestic portal opened in the wake of the glowing Dragon Balls. Out of it walked Goku, Gohan, Goten, Brolly, Piccolo, Trunks, Vegeta, Krillin, Tien, Chautzio, Ubuu, and Yamcha. The families that were happily reunited at last exchanged hugs, kisses, embraces, and tears of joy and love.
Trunks Senior and Pan decided to fool around that night to celebrate, and since their son was off on a date with Amy. Trunks couldn't believe how strong his little man was. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say. Trunks held his loving wife passionately that night and talked for hours in bed just like the night they had before their separation. They both wished that the moment could have lasted forever.
Things were very bad. On their way home from a movie, Trunks and Amy had been confronted by Baxter in a dark alley, obviously drunk and carrying a Wellington M3 double-barreled western style shotgun with twenty-two inch gauge shells and weights to reduce recoil. Amy had almost passed out at the site of the weapon, Trunks was scared as well for Amy's safety. Baxter lurched forward and haphazardly aimed the gun at her. Trunks didn't have enough time to yank the gun out of Baxter's hand before he fired. Trunks leaped into the line of fire and took the shots for Amy. Amy shrieked in horror as she spotted six bullets spray from Trunks' back, the other nine had only bruised his chest.
Trunks tried to hold the bubbling blood in his mouth but failed. He looked up and saw Baxter taking aim again. Trunks suddenly stopped feeling pain or fear, and felt anger. He immediately lost control of his muscles and merely watched as his body pulsated and ripped through the lining of his sweater. His hair burst into powdery flashes of golden dust and soon was shooting lightning from its tips. Baxter fired and each bullet crushed on impact. He backed away slightly but Trunks was already in front of him and breaking the shotgun over his knee. Trunks couldn't control his movements and lay stupefied as his hands used the Tri-Sphere attack and vaporized Baxter, leaving nothing more than smoldering ashes.
End of Chapter 3.
Chapter 4
The Impossible Scenario
It had been a hectic night. The police had categorized the Baxter incident as a freak accident but were clueless to why they couldn't find the body. Amy and Trunks were both taken to the hospital for observation. Trunks wasn't injured too badly, mostly flesh wounds due to how off Baxter's aiming was. Trunks thanked all that was holy that Amy was okay, she had been scared shitless by the encounter, but she would be fine.
Goku lay in his bed that night dreaming of the horrible tragedy. He couldn't get it out of his head even in sleep, until a mysterious voice contacted him in his dreams.
You can't escape me Goku.
"What? Who are you?"
You know who I am; you can never destroy me!
"No.it can't be."
Hmph! You really thought you had beaten me? You are stupider than I thought.
"No! Get out of my head!"
Sorry, but you are mine now! You humiliated me all those years ago, and now I'm going to return the favor Grandulas!
Goku tossed and turned in his sleep screaming out in pain. He felt as if a dagger was digging through his brain and scrapping at his skull. He could hear an extremely loud, high-pitched ringing in his ears that would not stop. Goku jumped from his bed clutching his temples in anger and frustration, he could feel cool blood oozing from his scalp as he dug at it fiercely trying to stop the agony. Chi-Chi had already awoken and was screaming at the site of what was going on. Goku's hair flared from black, to blonde, to dark yellow, to a very long gold, then to a slightly long, straight up, golden tinge. His eyes had vanished and dark red rings surrounded his eyelids. Goku crouched and then burst through the ceiling and took off towards North City.
Goku landed in the middle of a plaza square in the midst of a large crowd of consumers. Goku narrowed his empty eyes and let loose a sonic boom that shattered all the glass, stone, rock, cement, and buildings within a ten mile radius! All that was left of where Goku stood was a deep crater where North City used to lay. Fire and destruction riddled the disturbed earth for miles; no one survived the sudden Armageddon that had befallen them. Goku looked up curiously to see Gohan; Goten, Trunks, Trunks' son, Vegeta, and Pan arrive in the air after a frantic call from Chi-Chi. They landed facing him and were mind-boggled at the destruction Goku had caused. Gohan paced forward silently attempting to talk to Goku.
"Dad! What's wrong with you? What happened?" Goku gave no answer; he just stood silently awaiting Gohan to shut-up. Goten and Trunks Senior exchanged nervous looks of worry. Goku assumed a fighting position and Gohan followed. Gohan crouched and increased his power to Super Saiyan 4. Goten tried running forward to break up the fight but Vegeta snatched him by the collar of his shirt and solemnly shook his head no. They stared on.
Gohan took a giant leap towards Goku and belted him across the face with a vigorous left hook! Goku felt nothing and retaliated with ten backbreaking shots to Gohan's right side. Gohan gasped in sudden short waves of anguish. Goku then cracked his elbow across Gohan's neck and nearly broke it. That settled it; Goten and Trunks lined up side by side and began the infamous fusion dance. Gohan reached his hand out in protest and even managed a choked plea of resistance. Gotenks emerged from a golden cloud of energy and threw himself at Goku using the Ghost Kamikaze Attack. Goku absorbed the ghosts and roundhoused Gotenks so hard he split back into Goten and Trunks.
Vegeta was preparing to enter the fray when all of a sudden; Goku fell to his knees and began screaming at the top of his lungs. Goku yelled out in ferocious agony and repeatedly crushed the sediment with his fists.
Stop it! You can't win!
He looked into the dark stormy sky and roared ominously until his Super Saiyan powers left him and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Goku awoke dazed and confused looking up into Dende's worried eyes. He sat up and immediately felt a sharp pain in his spine. Goku rubbed his sore back and realized that everyone was at the lookout watching him. Goku remembered nothing and had a headache like a son of a bitch. Goku opened his mouth to speak but felt his throat raw from swallowing and spitting up blood? He glanced over at Vegeta and saw that he was tearing away the remains of a broken tooth from his jaw and adjusting a broken rib. Gohan approached Goku wearily and began to explain.
End of Chapter 4.
Chapter 5
The Resurrection
Goku was destroyed. He clutched his sobbing eyes and cursed himself for even being capable of killing those innocent people. His friends comforted him and tried to make light of the situation but it was of no use. Dende had explained what was going on, Valdos, those last words he had enchanted before he died was a spell being cast. He cursed that if Goku were ever to reemerge in the living world that he would live on inside of him. It disgusted Goku to know that Valdos was infecting his mind and could control his actions at any moment- -Goku's head completely spun around until it was facing backwards! As if on cue Valdos worked his black magic and tore Goku apart from the inside. Goku screamed and pounced the tiled floor shaking the entire palace. Goku exploded with rage and materialized into Super-Saiyan 4 form. Pure dark energy consumed him and was making him become Valdos. Goku tried to hold control of his mind and could hear Valdos' insidious voice inside his deafening ears.
You can't win! I rule you now! I rain supreme, you are nothing but a worthless maggot, and you will perish under my power! Not even God can help you now you wretched bastard!
Goku imagined what would happen if he let Valdos take control again, he pictured what he would make him do to his family and friends, what he would end up doing to the earth. And he might get control of Goku permanently this time! Without thinking Goku ripped and clawed at his bare chest stupidly thinking Valdos would just leave. Miraculously, he was right.
Valdos appeared before Goku and the others. Goku's fur and hair were now a glossy silver and he wore a skirt like garment around his waist with peculiar markings embroidered around it. Valdos was very different in appearance. Most of his cloak was burned away except the shrouded hood. His bare arms and chest had deep scars all around; he also had a jagged looking red scar above and below his right eye. He also had a hovering gray, flat rectangle beside him instead of a scythe. It had a slit in the bottom and a red energy blade was flourishing from the opening.
Valdos laughed maniacally and rested his gleaming eyes on Goku. "I thank you Goku, you were quite a good host body for a while," he spat sarcastically. "If anything it was a weak outer shell!" Goku grit his teeth and cursed releasing Valdos from his body. The others had already powered up to their strongest Super Saiyan levels and were preparing for a bloodbath. "You may not have realized this Goku but while you were training with God, my power level was tripling every day of your death, alas I could not manifest my amazing new strength until now. Did you know my power level now exceeds one trillion?"
Goku froze like a water droplet in a snowstorm. "No way.h-he's bluffing, no one could be that strong, no one!" Valdos didn't just have his poker face tattooed on; he was dead serious. Goku couldn't deny it, Valdos was as strong as he was claiming to be. Everyone charged up their strongest attacks and aimed at Valdos, Goku tried to tell them to run away but he was too late. Valdos dodged every hit without even moving. Vegeta dashed forward and aimed his fist high into Valdos' face. Valdos grabbed it a centimeter from impact and quickly crushed Vegeta's hand. Gohan and Goten both used a Kamehameha to try and help Vegeta but Valdos deflected them sending Gohan and Goten out of the fight.
Trunks and his son ran up and repeatedly attacked Valdos in the back and chest but did no damage whatsoever. Valdos threw his right fist backwards landing it in Trunks' face! Trunks Jr. could feel the temperature of his blood rising and saw the veins appearing in his pulsating arms. He leaped into the air and somersaulted, he landed in front of Valdos and released his energy. He vanished in a dark cloud of smoke then reappeared in Super Saiyan form and kneed Valdos in the stomach followed by an elbow to the skull and a headbutt to the ribs!
Valdos stumbled a little and swayed from side to side, he wiped a drip of blood from his mouth and fired a thin beam of fire through Trunks JR's neck! The remaining fighters were all paralyzed or buried under smoldering debris. Goku was the only one left standing; he pressed his hands together for a Kamehameha when he felt a sharp pain rip through his back. Goku tilted his head downward to see Valdos' new weapon incased in his side. Goku continued on and through a blood filled mouth managed to speak. "Ka.me.ha.me." Goku paused and winced in pain as he felt the wound deepen and the blade grow hotter and sharper. Goku collapsed onto his feet when part of his backbone finally gave way and melted due to the intense heat of an energy burst from the weapon's tip. Valdos removed the energy blade and Goku sprang his arms up into Valdos' face. "Haaa!" Goku screamed sending a towering blast through Valdos and vaporizing the upper levels of the lookout! Valdos cocked his head away from the wave and floated in the air high above the palace. "You know Goku I have quite an interesting new power I neglected to reveal," Valdos spoke still rising. Goku was barely listening; he was dumbfounded by Valdos' effortless evasion of his attack.
"You see I have the power to manipulate time, and use it to my advantage. I can travel through ages of history, parallel worlds, alternate dimensions, and so on. And I can destroy it just as easily." Goku's eyes widened in shock as he listened on. "I can even make separate times flow into each other! I can cause utter chaos and madness, all I have to do is open the gate, and off I go!" Valdos waved his left hand queerly and expended a green force field around it. The flourishing energy eventually grew bigger and darker until it was a swirling vortex resembling a black hole. Goku sprinted into the air after Valdos firing rapid energy waves. They appeared to be going right through Valdos as if they were nothing but air? He hovered deeper and deeper into the portal and Goku followed. Goku fired the most gigantic Kamehameha he could manage but it warped and soon vaporized within the wormhole's magnetic field. Valdos all at one vanished in a bright explosion of lightning and the gate gradually began to close. Goku could feel his eyes growing weary and his muscles tiring, he thought he could feel his entire left side go numb before he completely blacked out.
Goku walked down the familiar Capsule Corp. hallway, he saw Vegeta and the others watching Bulma type away on a computer. They had all been healed by Dende after the fight and brought back to Capsule Corp. Goku asked how long he had been asleep and Bulma answered three days. Goku was overwhelmed with fear and worry. Bulma explained that the reason Goku had been so badly injured in the battle was the rays from the time portal. The gravity contained inside was over sixty million times earth's gravitational field! Valdos wasn't lying about how strong he had become, and if Goku had been inside the gate for another ten seconds his whole body would have liquefied!
Goku looked at his body and realized he was no longer in (what he now called) Super Saiyan 5 form. This form could only be achieved from S.S. 4 in a moment of great pain and anguish, instead of anger. Goku walked over to Bulma and began to speak. "Bulma I think I know where Valdos is going, I need you to build a upgraded version of Future Trunks' time capsule, one that can travel between dimensions and can withstand the gravity inside that vortex. And I need it by tomorrow!" "Sorry Goku but I couldn't build that in one night if I tried!" Bulma replied laughing. Goku grit his teeth and rammed his fist through Bulma's computer screen almost giving Bulma a heart attack!
"Bulma listen up! There's no trying you have to! If I'm right about where I think Valdos is going than we have to beat him there fast! Bulma gulped loudly and could do nothing but nod yes. "Good, I need to go talk to God," Goku spoke before dematerializing in a cloud of smoke.
Goku floated with God in his chamber, contemplating what to do. God had no way of helping his children through this battle. All that God could do was allow Goku to be able to open the gateway Valdos had opened linking the other worlds. The time portal he had passed through wasn't the normal one Future Trunks had used. Goku hoped that Bulma would be done with the ship soon. Goku had a strong hunch that Valdos was headed to one of two places: the beginning of time, to make sure it wouldn't happen, or during the war between Satan and God. There wasn't much time left.
Bulma had amazed Goku and the others yet again. The machine was not only built and ready to go, but she had also prepared a special serum to inject in them that would allow them to survive longer outside the vortex. Goku, Gohan, Goten, Goshin, Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, Brolly, Tien, Chautzio, Yamcha, Ubuu, Trunks, Pan, Trunks Jr., and Amy were going. They all had their things packed and were preparing to leave. Trunks Jr. and Amy held hands tightly as they boarded nervously. So did Trunks and Pan. This was much like the situation last time, only the odds were stacked much higher in Valdos' favor.
End of Chapter 5.
Chapter 6
Separation
It was a cold, dark night. The vortex was lonely and unforgiving. Gohan was at the controls and becoming very drowsy, he had been flying for twenty-four hours straight! No one spoke, no one thought, hardly anyone even moved. Everyone was too paralyzed with fear to do anything. Except Goku of course. The only thing he could think about was why Valdos was the way he was. Why was he so evil? What had done this to him? Maybe it was his choice, or maybe not. All Goku knew was if there were any trace of human still inside him, he would find it. The ship rattled and jumped a little, most likely due to turbulence.
Everyone was becoming lightheaded and beginning to drift into sleep. Gohan put the ship in autopilot and left the controls to join the others in the bunker. Krillin had prepared some midnight snacks for everyone and put them on a tray. Krillin casually walked into the bunker with Piccolo preparing to serve. As Piccolo lightly stepped he saw a peculiar red dot on the floor and ceiling.Piccolo dropped the food instantly and tackled Krillin and Vegeta to the ground! A split second later the outer hull of the ship exploded sending giant pieces flying everywhere! Valdos leaped inside through the hole. Just like the Titanic, the ship began splitting and bending in half until it shattered into two separate pieces!
Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Trunks Jr., Amy, Piccolo, Ubuu, Tien, Yamcha, Chautzio, and Vegeta all went flying into the vortex and soon vanished in a burning cloud of light. Goku remained hanging onto the edge of the still floating half of the ship desperately. Valdos stood watching him, debating whether or not to let him fall or kill him. Goku aimed one bruised arm upward at Valdos' face and charged up an energy blast. Goku fired not knowing that the extreme gravity would send the wave back at him and cause him to spiral into the depths of the wormhole. Valdos watched as Goku disappeared into the dark oblivion. Feeling a sense of accomplishment, he released his cape blowing in the violent wind, and shot out a protruding pair of bat-like wings that carried him off into the horizon.
End of Chapter 6.
Chapter 7
Stranded
Gohan tried as hard as he could to steady himself as he hurtled through a cloud-filled sky. He had no idea when or where he was, that fall from the ship could have sent him anywhere and any place in history! Or worse, he could be in an alternate dimension or parallel world. Gohan felt friction building on his back and his body temperature begin to rise significantly. He continued trying to turn in mid-air but was falling way too fast. Finally after turning Super Saiyan he righted himself only to meet face-first with a floating base of some sort. Gohan wished he had been able to turn sooner; he now had some broken ribs and a couple of bruises from the fall. But if he didn't turn when he did, he might've shattered his spinal cord.
Gohan finally found the strength to get up and marveled at the amazing sunset in the distance. He was obviously on a small gas planet nearby to a star; he had landed on some kind of control station. It had a three-yard long base with a large overhang and a radio tower. The only food there was, were some applesauce, a few cans of olives, and some old tuna. If he divided the food evenly, he'd have enough for two days. Gohan had to formulate a plan, and soon. Gohan observed his surroundings and found a megaphone, some electrical wires, a half-empty canister of rocket fuel and.wait! Rocket fuel, a megaphone, Gohan was a genius at these kinds of things and was slowly developing a plan. After an hour, Gohan loaded the remaining rocket fuel into the bottom of the base's engine, used the electrical wires to tie the megaphone to the engine, and was ready to go.
Firing up the engine would propel the base into the sky, the sonic boom of the engine would be filtered through the megaphone causing the wires to short circuit and fry the base's CPU. Then Gohan would fire an energy attack in the air after the CPU would explode firing a pulse magnetic charge upwards. The resulting crossfire would reopen the time gate for ten seconds. All Gohan needed to do was find some way to ignite the rocket fuel. He couldn't use an energy wave because it would be too strong and destroy his makeshift ship. Gohan heard a peculiar noise in the distance.
Out of nowhere a fleet of alien ships careened towards the base and took fire! Gohan instantly put up an energy field. Someone had found out Gohan was here! Gohan left the shield behind (knowing if he let it down they'd destroy his only way off the planet) and turned Super Saiyan. Gohan flew onto one of the armored, spider-shaped aircrafts and yanked the pilot through the hard metal. Gohan threw the man off the ship and leaped onto another, this time he powered up a Destructo Disk and lanced off its wings. There were five remaining ships; Gohan could take them out with one blast. Gohan fired an attack he hadn't used in a while, the Masenko. Gohan let loose destroying all but one. This one was spiraling towards his base. Gohan quickly snapped a blast at it with his finger and just barely saved the ship.
A fiery spark of some sort must have gotten into the thruster, because a few seconds later the ship took off at incalculable speeds upwards! Gohan burst into S.S. 2 and barely caught the base as the portal slowly opened and swallowed it. Gohan held the radio tower frightened as the ship jumped and rattled through the vortex; finally Gohan could no longer keep his grip and fell off.
The ground shook lightly and small dust particles hurtled into the air. Krillin arose from the ground half buried in sand. He looked around curiously and found Piccolo staring off into the landscape. "Hey Piccolo! Where're the others?" Krillin asked worriedly. "They're not here. That attack Valdos made on us sent each of us into a different timeline or dimension." Krillin grit his teeth and widened his eyes. Piccolo saw slight panic in Krillin's face so he told him what he had found.
"Krillin, we're on Namek. One week before my brother and family were killed in the storm." Krillin gulped loudly and was pondering what to do. The most logical answer was to find the Nameks. But that was easier said than done. They decided to split up and see what they could find.
Master Roshi laid at Valdos' heels bleeding to death. He looked up with tired eyes and cursed the abomination. "Valdos.Goku and the others.will come-back! And defeat.you!" "Oh really?" Valdos questioned. "The way I've handled things so far I don't think they're ever coming back." Master Roshi punched the ground and cursed under his breath. Valdos used some sort of black magic and his new rectangular weapon transformed into a large switchblade. Master Roshi's eyes lit up with fear under his shattered sunglasses. Valdos without hesitation lifted the blade behind his head and swung it with all his might.
They had found one Namek village. The others they ran across were barren and deserted. The Nameks welcomed Piccolo and Krillin with open arms and invited them stay at their village. A few hours later there was a campfire going and they were all feasting on the delicious Ajisa plants. Piccolo decided not say his real name in front of them because he noticed a small Namekian boy by the name of Piccolo, as well as his brother Pikkon. The village elder Katatsu was telling a Namekian tale of old as the others gathered around in a circle. "Brothers, I will retell the legend of Fuiwizakan Olimae." In English it meant "Nameks of Fusion." Krillin and Piccolo were puzzled by this and listened closely.
"Long, long, ago there were a race of Nameks who had a hidden power that only manifested itself in the hearts of great evil. They were known as Super Nameks, they terrorized Namek for many generations until three wise elders banned together to create a new form of fusion known as Nanatarra. It is said that creating a series of Tai-Chi-like movements followed by a spiraling twirl with arms folded across the chest did the dance. More movements were performed followed by another spiral, and then the two Nameks involved in the fusion would immediately engage in a quick sparring session, then join hands and bellow 'fusion!' This fusion technique was much more beneficial than our conventional ways, since it wasn't permanent, the two could decide when to unfuse, and it dramatically increased their powers.
"But the Namekian elders also invented three fusion relics to use in the dance: the Triangle of Fusion, the Diamond of Fusion, and the Ring of Fusion. It is said that the triangle can fuse three people and multiply their powers by ten. The diamond can fuse four and multiply their power levels by quadruple! No one is quite sure if the ring truly exists, but it can fuse any amount of beings, and some say it will make their power infinite! Using these, the elders finally drove away the evil Nameks and our planet saw peace once again."
Piccolo and Krillin made note of this legend for future reference, as it seemed important and could prove to their advantage in the coming battle. After that they all decided to rest and relax. Piccolo had already requested to use the Namek's Dragon Balls to take them back into the time hole, but they wouldn't be active for another three days.
But unknown to the people of Namek, a storm was coming in exactly three days, the one that would threaten to wipe them out and destroy their beautiful planet. Piccolo knew this however, and him and Krillin were secretly preparing.
Piccolo and Krillin woke up to see hurricanes and massive title waves ravaging the land outside. Nameks ran and feared for their lives as they attempted to escape the absolution that had befallen them. Piccolo and Krillin frantically got as many Nameks to high ground as they could then turned their attention to the storm. Piccolo and Krillin both fired energy waves at the dark clouds vanquishing them upon impact. Piccolo fired a Special Beam Cannon attack at the tornadoes, which inhaled them until vaporization. Krillin used an enormous heat blast that evaporated most of the oncoming waves of seawater.
Finally the deadly storm had vanished and Piccolo and Krillin were worshiped as heroes. Katatsu motioned for the two Namekian boys to retrieve the Dragon Balls. Piccolo approached Katatsu, his father, cautiously. "Oh brave warriors from space, how can we ever repay you?" Katatsu asked Piccolo warmheartedly. Piccolo sighed and answered the difficult question. "Katatsu, I must tell you who I really am.I am your son, from the future," Piccolo chanted solemnly. Katatsu caught his chest and flinched a bit. "Father, in the future there is a being of immeasurable evil named Valdos. He threatens to destroy everything in the universe if my friends and I do no defeat him. We have nowhere near enough power though. What I'm about to ask may be difficult, but it must be said. Krillin and I need one of the fusion relics."
Katatsu contemplated this thoroughly. On the one hand, the relics were part of their heritage and a part of who they were as Nameks. But on the other hand. "Please father, if you don't give at least one of them to us then the entire universe will be destroyed." After several minutes of weighing options, Katatsu finally agreed. He mentioned the relics being inside a sealed mountain miles away. When the Nameks summoned Porunga, they asked him to give Piccolo and Krillin the Diamond of Fusion. The second wish was to relay a message to all of the members of their party that had been scattered throughout time. The message read:
To whoever receives this Letter,
This is Krillin and Piccolo, we are fine, and we have something that could prove useful against Valdos. If any of you are on Namek, ask the elders about the "fusion relics" and the Nanatarra form of fusion.
Piccolo & Krillin
The third and final wish was to send Piccolo and Krillin spiraling back into the time warp, in the hopes of meeting up with the others.
End of Chapter 7.
Chapter 8
Goku's Revelation
Out of all the others, Goku imagined that he had been sent to the most ironic of places. Goku had been zapped to the day the human tribe had created a mutiny against Valdos when he was still alive. Goku watched in horror as villagers hacked away at Valdos and gave him permanent scars all across his body. Valdos screamed in agony as he slaughtered the pore defenseless people until there were no more. Valdos tore the dark cloak off of a fallen man and draped it around himself.
Valdos approached the only living human, a tall, slender woman. Goku couldn't hear them from his position. But he saw Valdos down on his knees and perhaps begging to her. She ran away in fear and disgust. Goku closed his eyes before almost witnessing Valdos murder the woman with his bare hands. Valdos then collapsed onto the now blood encrusted earth and cried himself to sleep.
Goku knew now what had turned him evil, what had scarred his tortured mind. Valdos wasn't truly evil, in a sense anyway. He was just, misunderstood. But Valdos couldn't be forgiven for taking his madness to such extremes. Even if his reasons were just. Losing a loved one and causing a massacre is enough to drive any normal man insane. Future Trunks was evidence enough. Goku had only one thing left to do: confront Valdos and set free his mangled soul, so he could never hurt anyone again. Or want to. But first he had to find a way back to earth in his own time.
End of Chapter 8.
Chapter 9
Vegeta's Loss
An extremely vast desert on a healed earth suddenly became home to thousands of small craters and one gigantic one only hours ago. Shattered pieces of a ship littered the pockmarked land. The large crater had a fourth of the ship imbedded in it. A small blotch of sand near it appeared to be dyed red? A ravaged arm punched itself from the suffocating sand. Vegeta's cut and bleeding head breached the surface. He wondered why he couldn't move his left arm, and why he couldn't feel his legs. Vegeta tried with all his might to dislodge the rest of his body from the sand but could not. Vegeta concentrated and released a bellowing cry and emerged into Super Saiyan. He yanked himself out, and dragged himself out of the crater so he could examine his wounds.
It was bad, really, really bad. Vegeta's lower body had been crushed under a section of the ship after impact with the ground. He had cuts and bruises all around, but the worst was a dislocated arm (easily fixable, he done so many times), and his legs were practically holding on by a thread. Eighty percent of the skin had been ripped or torn off, muscle was punctured or smashed, both legs were broken, and there was an unstoppable flow of blood. With exerting as little power as possible, Vegeta popped his dislocated arm back into place with much pain. Vegeta now began dragging his broken and tattered body across the seemingly endless sand dunes. The sand surely wouldn't help, but maybe the cool morning air might begin to clot his wounds.
Vegeta had been moving for six hours straight, he had gotten about nine miles, a thick line of blood followed him all the way. Vegeta was feeling very weak from the blood loss and didn't have the energy to go on. Vegeta could only think of one more thing to try. Vegeta removed a flashlight from his pocket and bit down on it hard. He tried as hard as he could to hover above ground. Vegeta gently set himself down on his feet standing. He probably stood for two seconds wobbling. His right leg gave way and the upper and lower leg bones snapped in half! Vegeta fell to the earth face first and screamed in unimaginable pain and torture.that was the last time Vegeta ever used his legs again.
Trunks flew through the air happily. He loved everything on earth now. Everything was so peaceful with the Androids gone and done with. Trunks flew across a desolate desert and enjoyed the humid breeze through his long lavender hair. He stopped short when he spotted a red spot in the sand. Trunks flew down to it and picked up a handful and let the sand seep from his hand. There was blood left after all the sand had fallen back down into the dune. Trunks worriedly dug through the sand and nearly fainted when he came across the beaten body of his father.
Trunks quickly slumped him over his back and headed back for Capsule Corp. He was unconscious and had lost two thirds of his blood supply. Trunks was glad he had found him when he did, if he had arrived any later, Vegeta would've bled to death.
Vegeta awoke the next day in the Capsule Corp.'s hospitalization room. Bulma and Trunks explained what had happened. They had to amputate Vegeta's legs and give him cybernetic attachments. Vegeta told them the situation with Valdos and that he needed to get back to his own timeline. Unfortunately, Bulma had destroyed the time machine, seeing as there was no more use for it since the Androids were gone. And she didn't have enough money to buy the parts she needed to rebuild it. But there was hope, Trunks and Vegeta could enter the coming World Martial Arts Tournament and win the prize money to by the parts they needed.
Trunks trained Vegeta on how to use his new legs in the coming week and prepared for the tournament. Finally the day came and Vegeta and Trunks both passed the test to win a slot in the competition. Most of the fights went by quickly and Vegeta and Trunks breezed through their matches. They almost thought they'd end up fighting each other in the final round! Vegeta drank a bottle of cold water while watching the matches go by. Vegeta spotted Spopovitch and Yamu in the dugout-like corner.they both had calligraphic M's on their foreheads! Vegeta dropped his bottle in fear and astonishment. "No.it can't be.Babidi, he must be here collecting energy for Majin Buu!" Vegeta wasted no time and burst into Super Saiyan. He sprang forward and with a Big Bang attack, vaporized the two wizard slaves. Trunks demanded to know what was going on, but Vegeta only grabbed him by the arm and took off from the arena.
Vegeta filled Trunks in on the incident with Majin Buu and Babidi; they headed for where Babidi's ship was docked. There it was, poking out of a circle of disturbed earth. They broke down the doors and fought their way through the different levels until they reached Babidi and Dabura.
Babidi used his telepathic magic and found out who Vegeta was. Babidi spread his arms outwards at Vegeta and powered up some sort of magic attack. "Well Vegeta," he began. "How would you like to become my slave?" Vegeta backed up and clenched his teeth. "Well too bad!" Babidi released a burst of energy surrounding Vegeta and constricting him. Vegeta let out a cry of pain and grasped his head. Babidi fired more energy into him and Vegeta fell to his knees and became Super Saiyan. Trunks desperately tried to help his father but his efforts were futile. Vegeta screamed out again and flared into S.S. 2, followed by a dramatic change to S.S. 3. Vegeta opened his eyes with a hate filled look in them and slowly began to fend off the magic. Babidi tried harder but Vegeta was stronger than he had anticipated.
"You.wont.control my mind Babidi.not.again!" Vegeta roared louder and more ear piercing than a lion, tiger, bear, and Oozaru combined! He flung Babidi and Dabura into a wall and his energy was so powerful it engulfed and destroyed Buu's prison and Babidi's ship. After the smoke and fog cleared, Vegeta stood with pale, empty eyes, upright spiky hair, and a purely golden aura. Vegeta pointed his head towards Dabura and vanished. Vegeta was moving twice the speed of light and ran ten feet in front of Dabura and then launched himself through Dabura's chest cavity! Dabura gawked in horror and tried to grab his torn entrails and organs. He slowly cocked his head and saw Vegeta flying behind. That was the last thing he saw before Vegeta unleashed a Final Shrine attack that completely vaporized what was left of Dabura.
Babidi felt sick. He had witnessed his only protection and his father's creation become destroyed in but an instant. Vegeta materialized face to face with Babidi and dropkicked him into the air; Vegeta flew in front of him and diagonally karate-chopped across his abdomen, slicing him in half! Babidi almost fell to the ground but was stopped short as Vegeta released a Big Bang attack that put an end to his reign of terror, forever.
Vegeta bid farewell to his wife and son before he departed for his own time, Trunks felt as if situations were reversed, and that Vegeta looked exactly like he did when he first came from the future. Trunks knew this wasn't the end though, Trunks had a feeling that he might be needed in this epic battle, he would gladly offer his assistance when the time came.
End of Chapter 9.
Chapter 10
True Love Conquers All
Trunks Jr. awoke in a desert identical to the one Vegeta had crash- landed in, only this is where the other three fourths of the time cruiser was. Trunks stood up and looked around for anyone else. He doubled over when he spotted a knocked out Amy laying half buried in the sand. Trunks picked her up in his arms and stared at her beautiful face. Trunks headed for the still intact cockpit and left side of the ship, which was imbedded in the sand except the opening door. Trunks went inside and laid Amy down. Trunks checked the cabinets, there was a two-day food supply left, Trunks changed into a sky-blue jacket and baggy pants and took out some fruit and a bag of pretzels.
Eventually Amy awoke. She had a broken arm and cracked ribs, but she'd be fine. They both ate and Trunks bandaged Amy's arm and ribs. Amy felt so lucky to have Trunks. She had had a crush on him even before Kindergarten when her mom used to take her to Trunks' to play and see Pan and Goshin. But Amy had known that she loved him after she started dating him in Jr. High. They were only sixteen, but they were made for each other.
Trunks and Amy fell asleep in a passionate embrace an hour later in the cockpit's front seat. Trunks awoke a few hours later; he carefully dislodged himself from Amy's arms and decided to find out where they were. Trunks exited the ship and flew around until he spotted a city; it was barren and deserted. Everything was in shambles, Trunks continued searching until he found a large scabbard on the ground with a sword in it. It was his father's. Trunks clutched his heart and felt physical pain at the thought of his father being dead. Trunks searched around madly until he came across the corpse of Gohan. Trunks backed away then noticed the two scars on Gohan's cheeks and the missing arm.after checking some more of the city he realized it was Future Trunks' time. But it was an hour after his father's future self had become a Super Saiyan for the first time after seeing Gohan's death. The transformation must have been what had awoken him.
Trunks headed back towards the ship frantically buckled the sword around his chest. Trunks landed near the location of the ship and bust down the door. The moment he entered, Amy grabbed him by the shirt collar and screamed like crazy. "Where the hell were you? I was worried sick!" She proclaimed angrily. Trunks pulled her hand off of his shirt and sat down to explain. "We're in Future Trunks' timeline, about the same time he changed into a Super Saiyan for the first time. I found what would've someday become his sword. We need to gather the remaining ship parts and reassemble them." "Are you kidding? We're missing parts to the ship, plus, we'd have to dig through this entire desert to find all the parts! Let alone piece them all together!" Amy rebutted frantically. The couple argued for a while before realizing it was the only choice. Amy and Trunks flew around desperately searching for any parts they could find.
Most of the ship was there, and a good-sized part was still intact. Since Amy and Trunks both possessed keen and intelligent minds, it wouldn't take much time to rebuild. In less than half a day, it was complete. Well, it was mostly complete. Part of the outer hull was missing, so was one of the wings and a thruster. But it would still fly, for a little while at least.
Soon, Trunks fired up the engines and him and Amy were off. The time portal slowly opened and took them into an ocean of green, blue, black, and silver waves of energy. The vortex was a very lonely place. But at least Trunks and Amy had each other.
The ship jolted. It jumped slightly as if it was in turbulence. Then it abruptly stopped. Trunks gulped loudly and removed his sword. He opened the top hatch to the ship and crossed his fingers; hoping Valdos wouldn't be out there. Trunks skittered across the surface of the ship frightened. Then, something sharp sliced into Trunks' back. The blade stung like a thousand stings from a black widow spider. The blade started as cold as a pick of ice, then the wound shifted to the heat of boiling water on a stovetop.
Trunks collapsed to the ground and looked up to see the face of death, the shadow of all evil. Valdos smiled devilishly and cackled as if he'd just murdered a village of children. Valdos grossly licked the trail of blood off the tip of his scythe and sheathed it. Trunks could barely move with this long, eight-inch cut in his back that almost reached the bone. Trunks finally found the strength to rise but then felt the weight of thirty anvils plunge into his stomach in the form of Valdos' boot.
Trunks remained standing but was now coughing out blood. Trunks yanked out his sword and feebly attempted to cut Valdos, but it was no use, Valdos was too fast. Trunks' blood began to boil. The familiar force of unbridled energy began to overtake him once again. Trunks could feel the wound in his back sealing closed. Trunks sprung from the ground and exploded in a golden blast of energy. Trunks' hair levitated upward and fazed into a light blonde color.
Valdos smirked, unsurpassed still, or so he thought. Trunks appeared behind Valdos and kneed him in the back so hard, he would have felt it through six steel tanks. Valdos gasped in horror as he flew involuntarily across the ship as fast as a bullet. Valdos skidded across the surface of the aircraft leaving large dents and marks. Trunks appeared before him and delivered a crushing blow, sending Valdos into the hollow, empty bulk of the engine casing. Valdos soared inside and bounced off the metal walls. Trunks followed him inside and felt an updraft of heat. They were inside the thrusters.
Trunks felt a tingling at the base of his temples. A soft voice felt like it was whispering in his ear. It was Amy. Amy was trying to contact him through telepathy.
Trunks! Lure him into the magnetic engine grating! If I turn up the jets, they'll incinerate him if he's close enough!
Trunks acknowledged the piece of advice and charged Valdos once again. He kneed Valdos hard in the stomach, then delivered a brutal roundhouse kick straight into the face. Valdos flew backward like a cannonball and collided with the magnetic grater. Trunks immediately saw the window of opportunity open and shot two magnetic beams like cufflinks across Valdos' wrists.
Valdos furiously tried to break himself free but wasn't strong enough. Trunks spun in mid-air and flew like a bullet as fast as he could to get back out to the ship's surface. Valdos felt the blazing heat building at the base of his spine and roared in terror as a molten cloud of fire blasted across him and flared out of the tunnel like a fist. Trunks leaped out of the barrel just as a plume of fire had caught the bottom of his pant legs.
Trunks planted himself on the ledge of the engine barrel, ready for Valdos to reemerge. Trunks waited impatiently until a scorched hand burst from the still flowing inferno. The hand desperately tried to grab at him, but slowly sunk back into the fire that was now practically lava. The hand sunk completely under the surface and evaporated.Valdos was dead. Trunks could hardly believe what he had just done. He had defeated Valdos, once thought to be the most powerful being in existence. Trunks smiled at himself proudly, and turned back towards the ship's entrance.
The only thing left to do was to find the rest of the Z-Warriors, and get home.
End of Chapter 10. Chapter 11 Zymax, The Reunion
After Tien, Yamcha, and Chautzio had explained who they were to the Nameks, they instantly knew why they had come. They were friends of Piccolo and Krillin, the duo that had appeared on their planet exactly ten years before and had received The Diamond of Fusion from them. And now, this threesome desired the triangle. A logical idea, and since Piccolo and Krillin had claimed to have come from the future, this trio's present time must have been these groups of Namek's past. The newly claimed Namekian leader; Guru, used his malignant powers over the mind to unlock Tien, Yamcha, and Chautzio's hidden abilities and powers.
Guru then finally decided to give them The Triangle of Fusion. Sensing the battle with Valdos was not yet over; he used his powers that were much stronger than Katatsu's, to open the Fusion Cave. The group marveled when they saw its inner workings. It was a huge rainbow colored chamber with three indentations in the center of the floor. A diamond, triangle, and ring. The diamond and ring were both missing, but the triangle remained. Tien took the cold triangle in his hands. It was about the size of Chautzio's body. Its material, not even Guru could decipher. But the most important thing was that now the Z-Warriors stood a chance.
This small victory however was short lived. Because Guru suddenly began receiving a telepathic message that was appearing to give him physical pain. Tien rushed to his side to comfort him but was pushed away by Guru in desperation. "Please! Go to the village! Slug, he's attacking! He's become a Super Namek!" Guru gasped trying to breathe. Tien froze when he heard the name. Lord Slug, this must have been the time when he had first become a Super Namek and began his reign of terror across the universe.
The three burst from the cavern and sped across the sky diligently. The sky was as black as midnight. And in the distance, Yamcha could see Porunga, the Namekian Eternal Dragon. The group arrived just in time, as Slug was about to trample a huddled group of innocent people. Chautzio desperately gazed into Tien's eyes fearfully. "Tien, we have to save them!" Chautzio pleaded. Tien shook his head in fury. "We can't, we aren't as strong as Goku or Piccolo were when they beat him." Yamcha grit his teeth angrily. Then he froze. "Tien, we have to use the triangle! We have no choice!" Yamcha shouted, knowing the Namek's time was growing short. "No, we need to save it for Goku and the others, it'd be a waste on us!" "We have no choice," Yamcha retaliated fiercely. Each fusion relic could only be used once. Finally, Tien nodded.
Tien tossed the ring into the air and the three separated while doing the dance. Each movement was as graceful as if in a dance. Each move was performed flawlessly. The trio folded their arms over their chests and spun inward. The group met in the center and sparred until the triangle neared them. They separated one last time, but only three feet away. The triangle fell. Each of them grasped a side before it collided with the ground.
Immediately the triangle shattered, sending a wave of tremendous energy across them and pulling them in. Soon the once three people were now a mass of slowly shaping bulk. After all the smoke and dust settled, there stood a tall man, his body was made of a silver liquid except from the neck up, he had three eyes, red cheeks, and his hair was a continuously streaming bolt of lightning.
Slug turned toward the warrior and gawked in utter stupidity. "Who are you?" Slug questioned. The man only answered by silently uttering a name: "Zymax." In seconds, Zymax had already delivered thousands of blows to Slug without him even catching a glimpse of it. Slug felt strong cracks and slams all across his body. Slug tried to outmaneuver, but Zymax was too fast. Eventually, Zymax formed his entire body into a liquid state and fired it twenty times faster than a bullet, through Slug's forehead.
Slug saw nothing more, heard nothing more, and collapsed to the ground. Dead, and defeated. Minutes later, the first of the last two Dragon Ball wishes were used to make the users of the fusion relics able to fuse more than once. The second was to completely reassemble their time ship, and reunite the Z-Warriors.
