A Different Kind of Future Part Three:
The two hours had passed, and just as the boy had predicted, Goku had landed on Earth. The Z fighters flew off towards the crater where Goku's ship had landed, Trunks and Bra following from behind.
Goku stepped out of the space pod, and looked up at the rim of the crater, surprised to see all the Z fighters standing there. He floated up out of the crater, and stared at his friends and family in surprise as the others cheered at his late arrival.
"Ah! Goku! Hey! What's up?" Bulma cried as she waved at Goku happily.
"Hi Daddy!" Gohan called excitedly.
"Check him out!" Krillin added.
"You're the man!" Yamcha said.
Goku slowly started to come back to the ground as he continued to look at his friends curiously.
"Hey, you guys. How in the world did you know I was going to be here?" Goku asked shocked. Bulma smiled as she gestured to the twins a few feet away from the group, smiling at each other, then at Goku.
"These kids told us. I think they might be fans of yours." Bulma said.
"They know all about you Daddy!" Gohan said.
"Huh? But how?" Goku asked as he stared at Trunks and Bra in shock.
"They knew the exact time and place of your arrival, Goku!" Bulma said.
"That's impossible. We've never even met." Goku said surprised.
"Well that's what they said; then they must have been tracking your ship in outer space." Bulma suggested.
"Really? I don't know. Frieza tried to do that. But I could sense his energy level as he passed me. He sure was in a hurry to beat me home. But my gosh! What in the world happened here you guys? Who defeated Frieza? You, Piccolo? Or was it you Vegeta?" Goku asked looking from Piccolo to Vegeta.
"Neither of us did. It was these two. They did it with ease." Piccolo said. Goku looked at the twins shocked.
"Huh?" Goku asked.
"The girl beat the stuffing out of Frieza, and the boy turned into a Super Saiyan and picked the big guy apart." Piccolo said. Goku stared at Trunks in shock.
"What? A Super Saiyan? I can't believe it! That's outstanding! Can you imagine? A Super Saiyan at his age? Fantastic! And a girl defeating Frieza? I never thought I'd see the day." Goku said looking at Trunks and Bra.
"Hey! Aren't you forgetting something?! You, your son, and I are the only Saiyans still alive!" Vegeta cried angrily.
"Hmm. Well if he says he's a Super Saiyan, then that's good enough for me." Goku said looking at Trunks. Bulma frowned at him.
"Oh, honestly Goku! You take things way to lightly sometimes!" Bulma said.
"No I don't." Goku said. Trunks smiled as he looked from his mother to Goku.
"Goku? Can we have a word with you?" Trunks suddenly asked as Goku turned to look at Trunks and Bra curiously.
"With me?" Goku asked. Trunks nodded as he pointed across the crater where Goku had landed.
"Yes. Just the three of us." Trunks said. Bra nodded at Goku, showing him she was in too.
"Alright then." Goku said as he rose into the sky along with Trunks and Bra.
"Hey! What exactly are these kids trying to say?" Yamcha asked angrily.
"It's ok, guys. I'll be right back." Goku said, and followed Trunks and Bra 'til they landed on the opposite side of the crater. They were still in view of the rest of the Z fighters, but they were so far away it would be near impossible to be heard.
"Thanks man." Trunks said as his feet touched the ground, Bra and Goku soon doing the same.
"Hey, no problem. But shoot! I should be thanking you two for defeating Frieza. I had a chance to finish him, but I was only fooling myself, thinking he might change." Goku said.
"Not him. He was out of control and you were supposed to stop him. But when he landed and you weren't around, we had to step in." Trunks said.
"Hmph! I'm the one who defeated him, you know. You destroyed the other guy, remember?" Bra asked, frowning at her brother. Goku turned to look at her strangely.
"But how? How could you have defeated Frieza so easily?" Goku asked.
It wasn't that he thought she couldn't do it because she was a girl; it was just that he had fought Frieza as a Super Saiyan, and that almost wasn't enough. It surprised him to think that this girl could be stronger than a Super Saiyan. It was the only logical reason she'd be able to defeat Frieza.
"She's tougher than she looks." Trunks said with a smile at his little sister.
"Besides, we didn't think you'd make it." Bra added.
"Yeah, his ship was a lot faster than mine and he gained two hours on me. I was about to make my move! But then you two came along." Goku said.
"And how were you going to make a 'move' when you were two hours away in space?" Trunks asked, a slight smirk on his lips.
"Thanks to a technique I learned, I could have been there in seconds!" Goku said with a smile.
"Are you serious?" Bra asked surprised. Goku nodded.
"Yeah. It's called instant transmission." Goku said with a wink. Trunks stared at Goku in shock.
"You mean time travel?!" Trunks asked stunned. Goku smiled as he shook his head.
"No. you de-materialize and travel as a mass of light. You'd be surprised how much ground you can cover going 186 thousand miles per second." Goku said with a grin.
"No kidding? I had no idea you had that ability." Trunks said.
"Yeah, the people on Yardrat taught it to me. They weren't very strong, but they some amazing techniques. Plus I think they like me 'cause I could eat as much as they could." Goku said with a laugh.
"Man, what a bummer." Trunks said as he looked down at his feet. Goku stared at him, surprised by his reaction.
"Huh?" Goku asked.
"If we had known you didn't need our help with Frieza, we could have waited, and came to you when you were alone and avoided the risk of meeting all the others." Trunks said, Bra nodding in agreement.
"The risk? What do you mean?" Goku asked puzzled. Trunks looked up at Goku.
"Ok, I don't mind answering that question. But let me ask you something. Can you transform into a Super Saiyan at will?" Trunks asked.
"Well at first I wasn't able to. It happened spontaneously. But now I can control it." Goku said.
"Alright then. Can you show me now?" Trunks asked.
"Huh?" Goku asked surprised.
"Please Goku." Trunks asked.
"Ok." Goku said, then he suddenly powered up, and transformed without another word. He looked at Trunks cautiously.
"Are you satisfied?" Goku asked.
"Yes, I am! Man, how awesome! I'd forgotten what it feels like looking from the outside in." Trunks said.
"So what's next, friend?" Goku asked. Trunks smirked at him.
"Now we'll both be Super Saiyans." Trunks said as he transformed. Goku stared at Trunks as Bra rolled her eyes impatiently.
"We're exactly the same." Goku said astonished. Trunks frowned at him.
"Let's find out." Trunks said, then suddenly unsheathed his sword from his back, and rushed at Goku, who made no move to block the attack as he calmly stared at the young boy. Trunks suddenly stopped just as the blade of the sword would have hit Goku's head, and held it there is shock, barely centimeters from Goku's hair.
"Why didn't you try to avoid it?" Bra asked curiously.
"I searched his feelings; so I knew he would stop." Goku said. Trunks nodded.
"I see. Well this time I'm not gonna stop, got it?" Trunks asked.
"As you wish." Goku said, then put his index finger up infront of him, and powered up around his finger, planning on defending himself against Trunks' sword with only his index finger.
Trunks hesitated only briefly, before he suddenly rushed at Goku again, this time going all out on the older Saiyan with his sword. Goku merely stood there, completely calm as he blocked with his finger without the slightest bit of effort. Trunks made one last attempt, and after floating above Goku, he jumped backwards and threw his sword into the air with a 'hmph' and dropped out of Super Saiyan as he smirked at Goku.
"Awesome! Everything we've heard about you is true. You're good, no you're great!" Trunks said.
Goku dropped out of Super Saiyan his friendly smile returning to his face as he looked at Trunks. Trunks leaned to one side as his sword came back down towards him, and it slid back into its case.
"You're such a show off! Was that even necessary?" Bra asked as she frowned at her brother.
"Those same moves turned Frieza's father into cold cuts." Trunks said, ignoring his sister.
"Yeah, well, your heart just wasn't in it this time." Goku said.
"I feel like we can trust you Goku. I had to know that for sure." Trunks said.
"Sorry about all the secrecy, but we really need your word that you won't tell anyone else what we're going to say." Bra said. Goku smiled as he looked from Trunks to Bra.
"Well, I've never had a problem keeping secrets, but sure, you have my word." Goku said with a nod.
"Thank you. My name is Trunks, and this is my twin sister Bra." Trunks said, gesturing towards his sister.
"This is going to sound really strange, but we're not from this time. We traveled here in a time machine, twenty years from the future." Trunks said.
"Really? From the future? That's incredible!" Goku said.
"Well at least *I* traveled here, Bra followed me." Trunks said, looking at his sister, who smirked at him.
"Vegeta was right, only he, yourself, and Gohan have Saiyan blood. And we got ours from him. He's our father." Trunks said.
"What? You're kidding! You're absolutely sure that Vegeta's your father?" Goku asked in shock. Trunks and Bra nodded.
"Yes. We're half Saiyan, half Earthling. We're also twins." Trunks said. Bra smiled as she nodded.
"But Trunks was born a minute before me, so he's a minute older than me." Bra said a smile at her brother.
"You're serious. Vegeta's kids. My gosh!" Goku said in shock. He whirled around to look back over to the other side of the crater and stared in shock at the Saiyan Prince.
"Yes, yes! I can see the resemblance, Trunks. Wow!" Goku cried.
"We will be born two years from now." Bra said.
"Ha ha ha! No kidding! Vegeta's going to be a daddy! That's incredible! Who would have ever thought.?" Goku began, but Trunks interrupted him as he frowned at the older Saiyan.
"Goku. We didn't come here to tell you that. We have to talk to you about something." Trunks said as Goku turned back around, noticing the way Bra and Trunks' faces had hardened.
