Although I must be innocent,
now I am punished.
I wasn't the one who sewed those seeds, but nevertheless
I have to pull up the flowers that bloomed from them.
I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking any part in it.
I think my freedom cost me dearly,
but I don't remember selling my soul so cheaply.
Hey, Hey! Until I die and say farewell . . .
Hey, Hey! . . . no one can touch me.
You probably don't know
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night.

He woke up with a headache.
Trunks sat up and tried to look around. He had no idea where he was, and vaguely remembered what happened.
"Wh-where am I?"
Then, the events came back to him.....
....listening to the rain, the girl with olive hair, something about illegally existing......
....Hananoki......
Trunks gasped in shock! She wasn't nearby!
He stumbled to his feet and looked around. He was on a relatively small slither of land in a vast lake or ocean. There were similar islands nearby, some with strange lollypop-like trees. The grasses on the islands were turquoise, and the water surrounding him looked dull green. The sky above was cloudy, sparking thunderheads every once in a while, and a large sun was dimmed by thicker clouds.
He didn't recognise this place at all.
"Anybody there?!" He called out across the water. The cawing of birds nearby seemed to be his only answer. "Hana-chan?!" He called out even louder. When there was no responce at all, Trunks almost panicked. "Mom?!"
Still no responce.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEY!"
There were still some birds cawing in the distance, not much comfort. Trunks hung his head and sighed.
"Where on Earth am I?"
He looked up at the sky again to see that two more suns on the horizion were rising.
Three suns in the sky?!
Trunks then resorted to looking around in shock.
"Am I even on Earth?!"

She woke up with a headache.
Selena eased open her eyes and tried to look around. It was rather dark around her, and she was laying on something hard. She figured she was in a room of some kind.
"Wh-where am I?"
She carefully sat up, feeling pain stab into her spine. She noted that she was on a steel floor, but couldn't see most of the room. She got down on all fours and cautiously creeped around to see if she could find a wall or a door.
Instead, she found some kind of circular funiture. She felt the fabric, and found it was very delicate silk. She got up on her knees to look it over more carefully. It was something in the shape of a circle, but she wasn't sure what it was.
"What in the world....."
Then, there were two sharp claps, and the lights came on. Selena shielded her eyes at the sudden light change, and tried to look through the shade of her hand. The room was made of some kind of white metal, and right in the middle of it was a raised, circular cusion shrouded with a silk cover.
Actually, the cusion was an entire bed.
As for the sleeper who was sitting up and staring at Selena angrily........
"What are you doing in my ship? Who are you?"
"Uh....." Selena froze. "Well........I dunno either........um, and who would you be?"

He woke up with a headache.
Raine swinted his eyes a moment before allowing them to open again. The world around him was very dark, which made him panic. Living on New Namek, and never knowing what a real night looked like, he instantly grew afraid.
He jumped to his feet from where he lay, and looked around. There were two walls to the side of him, and the sky above him was black with small points of light blinking slightly. Everywhere around him was dark, but not so dark that he couldn't completely see.
"Wh-where am I?" he whispered in terror. "I am no longer home....how did I get here?"
Then, he remembered the girl, and clenched his teeth in anger.
"Witch.......she will pay for this...."
He looked around for somewhere to go, but only found forewords and backwards as his options. He decided to move foreword until the walls became corners that opened out. At the exit of the small alleyway, he could see he was in some giant city. The buildings were very tall, and there were so many of them.
"All these buildings....this must be a city.....I have never seen one before....The elders would tell stories of such places when I was little."
He scratched behind one ear in confusion.
"Wherever can I be?"
"Hey, you!"
Raine turned back into the alley to see two strange beings walking towards him. They looked very tall and menacing, which made Raine freeze in fear. They stopped right behind him, and towered over the Namek by three feet.
"Whadaya think you're doing wandering around out here?!" one gruff being asked. "Puny creatures like yourself shouldn't be wanderin' around without your master around."
"....." Raine wasn't sure how to answer. His body and his words were paralized.
"Well, speak up!" another gruff voice snapped.
Almost broken out of his trance, he bowed politely.
"Forgive me," he began, "I have just arrived, and I do not know where I am..."
"Oh, ho, ho! So you came here, eh?" the first voice chuckled. "What for, I dunno. But it was a big mistake."
Raine could then hear knuckles cracking, and began to sweat nervously.
"So, whada'we gunna do with him, Ta-Les?" a third, less menacing voice asked. Raine could have sworn that voice was familiar......
"That's a no-brainer." the first voice, Ta-Les, laughed. "We've just got ourselves a new house slave."
Raine straightened out of his bow and backed away from the alley in fear.
"Sl-sl-sl-sl-slave?!"
"Get 'em!"
Raine ran for his life while the other three chased after him. But the Namekseijin was in a giant, unfamiliar city with many of those beings around him.
It looked like his life was sealed.
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
She woke up with a headache.
The moment she moved around to make herself more comfortable, voices buzzed around her.
"Hey, she's coming around!"
"Hurry, get the doctor!"
"She's regained conciousness!"
"Hey, lady. Are you alright?"
Hananoki opened her eyes slowly and let the world come into focus. Her view was surrounded by children's faces, the oldest was a boy about her age. She groaned and put a hand to her forehead.
"Wh-where am I?"
"Tokyo hospital." the boy answered. "Don't worry, you're fine, miss. You gave us all a scare, we thought you were going to die."
She looked at the faces all around her. So, she was still in Tokyo, which meant she didn't go anywhere yet. She sat up, and looked around. She was in a hospital bed, in a hospital room. Surrounding her were six young children, the oldest about nine. Outside the windows, she could see the sun shining over the familiar view of Tokyo and the construction outside to repair buildings. She sighed in relief.
"So, it was all a bad dream."
"What was a bad dream?" a younger girl asked. Hananoki looked at her, then looked at the others. She didn't recoginze any of them.
"Where's Trunks?" she asked them. They all looked confused.
"Trunks, who's that?" the oldest boy asked. Hananoki looked at him in confusion.
"What? How could you not know Trunks Briefs? He destroyed the androids and killed Cell."
"Man, you must have hit your head hard...." the boy shook his head. "You don't even know what you're talking about. The androids are still wreking havoc on Earth, and anyone who's attempted to destroy them got killed themselves."
'No.....
'Oh, no.....
'This can't be happening!'
Hananoki shook her head slightly, then shook it more violently.
"No....that's not right.....the androids are dead.....Trunks...."
"Did you say his last name was Briefs?" the boy asked. "We could ask my mom, she might know who that is."
"Your mom?"
"Oh, I didn't even say who I was." the boy smacked his head. "I'm Boxers." He pointed at the youngest girl, the one who had asked Hananoki about a dream. "That's my little sister, Undiis. These guys are our adopted siblings: Syria, Joseph, Nash, and Rem."
Hananoki was still rather confused, but had to accept things for now. Perhaps the truth would come from this Boxer's mother.
"My name is Naru Wheelo."
"Nice to meet you."
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
"Listen, and listen well, great warrior. I have an assignment for you. An assignment that, if ignored, will endanger the world as you know it. The information I am about to share is closely guarded and restricted to those whom it doesn't concern. It is the information to cross into other worlds.
"There are many variations of this world, variations based on what other decisions those who shaped history could have made. These worlds have places all their own, running their own timeline, and forming different societies and cultures. However, there is a crisis that must be averted.....and you have been chosen to handle the situation.
"The reason you were chosen is....because you were not to exist.
"Yes, it's true. Your birth was not fortold by the Fate, and therefore, exist illegally. By order of the Fate, you should be scheduled to be terminated. I'm sure there have been many attempts of your life you have survived by now. But since this crisis is underway, the Fate has decided to send you to fix this catastrophy, before all life in your world is terminated. Let me explain what the situation is.
"I mentioned that there are other worlds that coexist....but one world seems to have gone rogue on itself and the Fate. This rogue world is in pain, seeking asylum and comfort in another world. It is about to collide with your wold, and when it does.....both worlds will be destroyed and all will cease to be.
"You, who is not allowed to exist, must go to this world and ease its pain. The exact cause of this occurance is unknown, so you must investigate. This pained world is vast, so you will not go alone. There are others who illegally exist, just as you do. There are five total. I will not reveal names for their personal safety.
"First, there is a young Nameksei-jin warrior who scarred his own soul......a drifting woman who carries a staff of great power.....a prince with a magickal sword who can travel through time.....an artifical creature with blood of a human and a machine.......and last, but most certainly not least.......a boy, who is the son of Earth's tyrant, Cell.
"It is not possible to arrange a place for you to meet. Being illegal, you have no rights to travel back-and-forth between worlds. When sent to the pained world, you will all be seperated and will have to find each other. After uniting, all five of you must work together to stop the pain being spread from that world, and keep it from attacking your world.
"I am sorry that I can give no further details or answer questions. This was a recording made only days ago. However, once this recording ends, you will be transported to the pained world where you must seek out your comrads.
"This message is now ending. Farewell for now, and good luck."
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
He woke up with a headache.
Just as he began to gripe with himself about his pain, the sound of booming thunder had him jolted to a sit. He blinked as he looked around. He was on a stretch of plains next to a riverbank. There were dead trees around him, completely barron of leaves. The grass around him was a teal color, and looked lush and alive. The sky was completely covered in thunderhead, where flashes of light would flicker occasionally. He also noted that it was rather cold.
He rubbed his hands against his arms to keep himself warm.
**Wh-where am I?**
He stood up to get a better look. He then noticed that the "river" was actually a spanning ocean. He was on a beach of a sort, probably on an island.
**This is definently not the mountain. I wonder what this place is...... It looks creepy.**
He looked back up at the sky to notice an abnormally giant sun in the sky, partially masked against the clouds. Surprised, he looked around again, and found two more suns on the horizon. Now scared, he backed himself into a tree trunk, breathing hard.
**Oh Gods, I'm not even on Earth! Where the hell am I? How did I get here?**
It slowly came back to him. He remembered the girl with the olive green hair.....and being bitten by that snake....and being sucked into some sort of black hole......
**I have to find that girl! She's the only one who can tell me what's going on here!**
He started to walk around, trying to find his way to someone....anyone!.....who could help him.
He wandered across the entire island until he found somebody. It had a human-like form, and wore some kind of armor. The look of the armor was ringing bells in Genji's head, but he couldn't place the familiarity exactly.
Taking a chance, he jogged to the person, waving with one hand and whistling.
The person turned quickly to him, pointing what looked like a gun at Genji. Genji instantly stopped in his tracks and held his hands up in peace. The person looked Genji over a minute before lowering his gun and walking towards him.
"Tu oui cbayg Namekseijin?"
Genji blinked several times, and looked confused.
'Oh great. I am on another planet, am I? Along with alien-speaking aliens....'
The person cleared his throat.
"How about Basic? Do you speak Basic?"
Genji's eyes lit up.
'English! I can't believe my luck!'
He nodded fiercely. The person chuckled.
"Really? Interesting. Well, say your name, then. And how did you get here? You're not a native."
Genji shook his head. Noting he didn't have a voice, he couldn't answer directly. He mentioned so by patting his throat and shaking his head again.
"What the......you can't talk?!"
Genji nodded a yes.
"This is ridiculous!" the person threw his hands in the air in frustration, then put a hand on his helmet while shaking his head. Genji sighed; he got that a lot. Finally, the person looked back up.
"I have a holopad you can write on back on the ship. I have to take you there anyway. It's common protocol." He started to walk away, waving at Genji to walk with him. "Come along."
Genji followed looking around, not at all knowing where he was. Deciding to go about this by charades, he walked in front of the man to try and get his point across. He waved his hands over the landscape, then shrugged in absolute confusion.
"Eh? You don't know where you are?"
Genji nodded.
"This is the planet's Quadrent 3, you didn't know that?"
Genji fell over. Not the answer he was looking for...... He got back up and stamped his foot in frustration.
'This guy ain't from Earth, so how could I speak the language of the Gods to him?! This is frikkin embarassing!'
"Oh, wait!" the man exclaimed. "You don't even know what planet you're on?!"
Genji pointed and nodded furiously.
"Oh. That's strange. How could you not know what planet you're on?"
Genji's face scrunched as he tried to think of a way to explain without looking crazy. He started rapping his knuckles on his head to help him jog his memory......
"Oh, so you hit your head and can't remember? Is that it?"
Genji blinked a few times. Hey, that was a good idea. He nodded in agreement.
"Oh! That makes sence. Alright, this is the Planet Nameksei. I guess you can't remember where your ship is, can you?"
Genji remained in shock at hearing where he was! Nameksei?! How in the world did he get here?! How was he supposed to get back home?! His head and shoulders drooped in sadness, which the man patted in assurance.
"It's alright, man. Come on back to the ship, and we'll help you get back to your planet."
Genji nodded solemly, following the man. He watched as the man held up one armored wrist and pushed a few buttons.
"Scout 32 reporting, I found an unidentified being in Quadrent 3. Looks Earthling, can't speak, no clue as to how he arrived. Over."
There was a garbled responce on the line. It sounded like the language Genji first heard the man speaking.
"Roger that. I'm bringing him back to the ship for Lord Slug to evaluate. Over and out."
Genji blinked up at the man in confusion.
**Lord......Slug? Why do I have a sinking feeling all the sudden?**

The person turned quickly to him, pointing what looked like a gun at Genji. Genji instantly stopped in his tracks and held his hands up in peace. The person looked Genji over a minute before lowering his gun and walking towards him.
"Tu oui cbayg Namekseijin?"
Genji blinked several times, and looked confused.
'Oh great. I am on another planet, am I? Along with alien-speaking aliens....'
The person cleared his throat.
"How about Basic? Do you speak Basic?"
Genji's eyes lit up.
'English! I can't believe my luck!'
He nodded fiercely. The person chuckled.
"Really? Interesting. Well, say your name, then. And how did you get here? You're not a native."
Genji shook his head. Noting he didn't have a voice, he couldn't answer directly. He mentioned so by patting his throat and shaking his head again.
"What the......you can't talk?!"
Genji nodded a yes.
"This is ridiculous!" the person threw his hands in the air in frustration, then put a hand on his helmet while shaking his head. Genji sighed; he got that a lot. Finally, the person looked back up.
"I have a holopad you can write on back on the ship. I have to take you there anyway. It's common protocol." He started to walk away, waving at Genji to walk with him. "Come along."
Genji followed looking around, not at all knowing where he was. Deciding to go about this by charades, he walked in front of the man to try and get his point across. He waved his hands over the landscape, then shrugged in absolute confusion.
"Eh? You don't know where you are?"
Genji nodded.
"This is the planet's Quadrent 3, you didn't know that?"
Genji fell over. Not the answer he was looking for...... He got back up and stamped his foot in frustration.
'This guy ain't from Earth, so how could I speak the language of the Gods to him?! This is frikkin embarassing!'
"Oh, wait!" the man exclaimed. "You don't even know what planet you're on?!"
Genji pointed and nodded furiously.
"Oh. That's strange. How could you not know what planet you're on?"
Genji's face scrunched as he tried to think of a way to explain without looking crazy. He started rapping his knuckles on his head to help him jog his memory......
"Oh, so you hit your head and can't remember? Is that it?"
Genji blinked a few times. Hey, that was a good idea. He nodded in agreement.
"Oh! That makes sence. Alright, this is the Planet Nameksei. I guess you can't remember where your ship is, can you?"
Genji remained in shock at hearing where he was! Nameksei?! How in the world did he get here?! How was he supposed to get back home?! His head and shoulders drooped in sadness, which the man patted in assurance.
"It's alright, man. Come on back to the ship, and we'll help you get back to your planet."
Genji nodded solemly, following the man. He watched as the man held up one armored wrist and pushed a few buttons.
"Scout 32 reporting, I found an unidentified being in Quadrent 3. Looks Earthling, can't speak, no clue as to how he arrived. Over."
There was a garbled responce on the line. It sounded like the language Genji first heard the man speaking.
"Roger that. I'm bringing him back to the ship for Lord Slug to evaluate. Over and out."
Genji blinked up at the man in confusion.
**Lord......Slug? Why do I have a sinking feeling all the sudden?**
