This world's limits change like a heart's vibration
A soul's hope and courage are an invitation to help
So my bravery will surely be a part of history
Just a brief painting
Acceptence? Born is a little celebration
Making an adaption, a new name, a new era...
To reach a truly real world
You just need to sometimes have a bright miracle
Something's, someone's strong force and will power
Cross over the edge of time with speed!
From fire... a burning fire that's the light of will power
A dream, a search, for a single burning passion!

Genji ran across the island until he came to the shoreline. He powered his ki, jumped in the air for clearance and flew off. The ocean below him was starting to churn waves, meaning there was a storm coming. He kept flying, knowing that someone was chasing him. Keeping his speed at a steady cruise, he looked behind him. He could see five of those soldiers chasing him in the air. He shook his head in pity.
**Yeah, right. You guys will never catch me if you keep this up. Looks like you forgot who my dad was.**
Genji flew lower, closer to the raging waters. Slug's men flew down after him, raising their hands at him.
"VENA!" one of the men ordered, signaling the others to shook ki lazers at Genji. The boy easily dodged them, as well as dodging several of the crashing waves.
**Okay, "vena" means "fire weapons," I guess......**
Genji looked behind him again to see that one of the men was knocked out of the air by a wave, and the others left him behind. The boy snarled.
**They won't help each other? What kind of morons are these Demon Tribe people?!**
He looked ahead of him and continued to fly on. There was land ahead of him, apparently a much larger island. He smiled, and flared his ki to fly faster. Looking behind him one last time to see that the soldiers were still behind him, he took in a deep breath before flinging himself into the water. The three soldiers stopped their chase and looked around the churning sea for any trace of the boy. Genji kept his ki flared so that they could sence he was still underwater. He went down a respectful depth and kept an eye on the surface. He noticed one soldier dove in after him, and he frowned.
'I thought I could lure all three of them down here and make a break for the surface....
'Bummer.....'
Then, he saw another soldier dive into the water. Genji mentally shrugged.
'Heh. Okay, I can work with this. Two out of three isn't bad.'
Genji flared out his ki again, letting the two soldiers know where he was. He started to swim away as they followed him. He powered up his ki to help propell him faster through the water. The soldiers started firing again, and Genji decided to take action. He turned himself so that he was facing them while still moving, and held out both his hands.
**HELL FLASH!**
A gigantic burst of ki errupted from his hands and launched at the two soldiers. They zipped for the surface like the Dickens just as the power exploded in the water. The soldiers made it out of the surface, screaming in terror! Their third comrad glared at them.
"Fryd rybbahat?!" he demanded.
"Ra'c cdnuhkan dryh ra muugc." one of the soldiers wailed in aftershock.
"Oac, oac!" the other agreed, nodding. "Dra puo ec duu bufanvim!"
The third soldier smacked the two of them on their heads.
"So what if he's too powerful for us?!" he screamed. "Get back down there and get that kid. Lord Slug will eat us for lunch if we go back emptyhanded!"
"Oaccen!" the soldiers nodded. Meanwhile, none of them noticed that Genji had powered down his ki and was swiming towards the rockier side of the shore.
He finally came up for air when he couldn't feel their ki anymore. He grabbed the rocks and leaned against them to rest a moment.
**Not too shabby. At least they know when to quit. Now, to get to dry land undetected......**
He started to inch his way across the rocks, but a wave crashed on him, pushing him against the wall, then pulling him away and under the water. He quickly jutted his head up and sucked in air before he was smashed against the rocks and pulled into the water again.
**Ow! Dammit!**
He stayed afloat, keeping his head above the water as he was about to be smacked against the rocks again. He jumped out of the water and grabbed rocks higher up the wall, making sure the waves couldn't touch him. He glared down at the water, and stuck his tounge out at them.
**Can't catch me now, you stupid ocean!**
He climbed up the rock wall until he reached the top of the small cliff. The wind started to kick up, blowing through his wet hair and making his wet clothes more cold. He shivered, rubbing his hands together to warm them up.
**Now what do I do?!**
"RAO, OUI!"
Genji looked behind him to see one of the soldiers hovering up to his level.
**Aw, man.....**
He made a run for the edge of the cliff just as he felt a ki lazer go right through his left shoulder.
Instead of jumping off the cliff for a safe landing.......
......he fell and plopped to the ground.
Holding his injured shoulder, he continued to fly across the island. The soldier and the two others chased him, fireing everything they had at him.
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
Not too far away, three young Namekseijin were finishing up the work on the farmlands. They were making sure the soil was tilled and that agestha worms weren't crawling through the plants. The root-eating worms were infamous for killing a whole season of crops in a matter of hours. The three farmers were the last in their group, a sort of graveyard shift in the community. They just wanted to make sure that their agestha crop would last through the storm and the coming cold.
One farmer wearing a blue gi and yellow vest glared up at the clouds.
"E fecr draca lmuitc fuimt ku yfyo." he growled.
A comrad wearing a red shirt and white pants chuckled.
"Shell, pnudran, dryd fecr fuh'd lusa dnia fedruid dra dragonballs." He reasoned.
"Fryd tet pnehk dra lmuitc, yhofyo?" the third farmer, wearing no shirt, white pants, and a cloth collar wondered.
The first Namekseijin turned to him.
"Freeza.....Slug........" he shrugged. "uha uv dras, E cibbuca. Un syopa pudr uv dras."
"E fecr DRAO fuimt ku yfyo." the third Namekseijin growled. "Ruf syho Namekseijin ryja civvanat palyica uv dras, eh?"
"Ayco, pnudran..." the second one calmed. "Oui sicdh'd ryja rydavim druikrdc...."
Suddenly, they heard an explosion. They turned to it, and struck defensive postures. None of them were sure what they would face, but all of them felt bad auras coming their direction.
Suddenly, a body fell outside the tilled farmland, and didn't move. The third Namekseijin cautiously walked up to it. The creature had yellow fur on its head, and tanned skin. It also wore a black one piece covered with a red tunic top. There was also red smears on its face. The Namekseijin recognized the red smears, and stumbled back in fear.
"Pmuut!" he screamed. "Ed'c lujanat eh pmuut!"
"Ed muugc mega dra udran uha....." the second one muttered.
The first one rushed to the creature and looked it over.
"It is....alive...." he muttered to himself.
"Rao! Drnaa uv oui!"
They looked up to three soldiers that hovered above them. The first Namekseijin snarled, showing his fangs.
"Slug....." he recognized the soldiers.
"Drec ec uin bnecuhan!" one of the soldiers yelled. "Ryht res du ic, rayn?"
The first one shook his head.
"So hysa ec Shell, cuh uv Katazu!" he introduced himself, "Oui yna uh so ecmyht, yht oui femm nacbald so myht! Mayja, yht drec lnaydina femm cdyo fedr ic!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" another soldier laughed. "Cu fryd ev drec ec ouin ecmyht, drec ec UIN bmyhad. Fa keja dra untanc, yht oui sicd vummuf un pa gemmat."
This outraged the three Namekseijin and they all took defensive stands.
"MAYJA RANA HUF!" all three of them shouted.
"Stand back, guys!" another voice called in a foreign language. "I got 'em!"
Everyone looked up to see someone else flying onto the scene. All three Namekseijin almost snarled. It was another strange creature that had washed up on shore an hour ago. It spoke a language only a few of them knew, and agrivated a lot of the youths with its unruly behavior. The one farmer that opposed the soldiers gave the creature a weary eye. The creature looked back at it.
"These guys bothering you, Shell?" the creature asked.
Shell, the first Namekseijin standing against the soldiers, knew a little of the creature's language. His father was teaching him to speak it, preparing the young man for the time he would be an elder. Shell was tempted to snear, but kept a straight face.
"Slug men try to kill this....." he pointed down at the injured creature. "They say they own planet. I will fight."
The creature looked at his injured kind in horror.
"Oh my God! Another human?!"
"Hey!" one of Slug's soldier's yelled at the creature. "Who the hell are you?"
The creature looked up at the soldiers.
"You guys are complete monsters, aren't you?! He's just a kid!"
"What are you gonna do about it?!" another soldier dared.
"I'm going to kick your butts, that's what I'm gonna do!" the creature yelled, taking a weapon out from behind him. It was a sword. "Shell," the creature shouted at the Namekseijin, "get that guy out of here! I'll deal with these morons!"
"No." Shell insisted. "I will fight."
"Then, I'm fighting with you."
Shell half frowned, then nodded while turning to his brothers.
"Kad drec uha uid uv rana!" he shouted at them, pointing at the injured creature. "E femm cdyo yht vekrd!"
"Oac!" the other two agreed. Shell glared at the two soldiers while the other two Namekseijin took the injured creature in their arms. The other creature walked to Shell's side with his sword in hand.
"You three are going down hard!" it shouted as the other two farmers escaped.
"You're the one who's going down, boy!" one soldier insisted, pointing a finger at him and powering his ki. "Who do you think you are?!"
The creature smirked as it too powered up.
"The name's Trunks...........and I'm your worst nightmare."
Shell frowned to himself. That last bit he couldn't figure out.
'What's a nightmare?'
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
Trunks looked over at Shell in slight concern.
"Aren't you going to power your ki?"
The Namekseijin looked at him with one confused eye, keeping his gaze on the soldiers.
"What mean you?"
In otherwords, "huh?" Trunks sighed.
"Use ki?" he simplified.
Shell understood.
"When ready." he insisted, looking away from Trunks. "Save ki for........em- urgent-cy."
Trunks smiled.
"Gotcha."
'I guess I'll stay out of Super Saiyajin mode for now. These guys don't look that tough.'
Trunks powered up his ki into a white aura. The soldiers were surprised by how strong he was already.
"Yikes!" one shouted. "Did you guys feel that?!"
"VENA!" another one commanded, forcing the other two to do the same. Trunks and Shell powered up ki shields, neutralizing the blasts and covering them in a cloud of dust.
"Now!" Trunks shouted, he and Shell jumping up to the soldiers. Trunks swung his sword, chopping one soldier in half instantly. Shell and another one exchanged fast-paced blows. Trunks decided to sheathe his sword before going after the other one and quickly punching his lights out.
"These guys are amateures...." he muttered to himself as his opponant hit the dirt and didn't move. He looked back up at Shell's fight, and noticed the Namekseijin's ki was slowly rising with each punch.
'He's gathering energy as he goes. He's going to do something big, I bet.'
Suddenly, Shell flung a leg up, kicking the soldier's chin with a majority of his ki. The impact shattered the soldier's helmet, and made him gasp for air. As he sufficated, Shell held his hands out to the soldier and powered up a ki blast.
"Pa kuha, fedr ruhun." he muttered, then fired. The soldier's body was disentegrated.
Trunks raised an impressed eyebrow.
"Not bad." he congradulated. "Uh.....very good."
Shell nodded at him.
"Thank you."
"Here, I'll get rid of the other guy." Trunks looked down to where the other soldier fell.....
......but that soldier was gone.
Trunks and Shell looked at each other, and muttered a universal statement.
"Uh, oh."
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Genji felt like his head was split open......it hurt to even open his eyes.
**Uuug! Where am I?**
When he did open his eyes and sat up, he couldn't believe where he was!
**Home?**
He was on his bed, in his room. All of his things were around him, in the places they should be. He opened the window next to his bed, seeing the view was still the town of Eboshi just a mile away, and surrounding the home were trees of his forest.
**I'm home! It must have been some crazy dream!**
He flopped back on his bed with a happy sigh.
**It was my weirdest yet, too. Some planet where everyone spoke this weird language, and this Lord Slug wanted me to join forces with him.....**
"Genji-chan!" he heard his mother calling. "Would you come down here a minute and watch the baby for me?"
He smiled, then jumped out of the bed. He then shuffled down the stairs and to his mother's side in the family room.
"Thanks." she said as she stood up from the rocking chair. "I just need to change into different clothes for tonight."
Genji nodded. His mother and father's wedding anneversary was coming up. He took the bundle wrapped in wolf fur from his mother's arms and she walked out of the room. Genji smiled down at his little sister, Rune. She was only a month old, barely able to hold up her head on her own yet. He took a seat in the rocking chair, and looked into her icy eyes. The baby's skin was an alarming pale color, but her blue eyes proved she wasn't albino. Genji was a little worried that she would have pink eyes, like he did, but she was thankfully born with beautiful baby blues.
'I'm a little jealous, I'll admit, Rune-chan......
'I had to endure a lot of pain because of who I was......who I was a son of......
'My eyes were proof enough I was my father's son......
'I'm glad you won't have to go through that.....'
Rune giggled and cooed at Genji, making him smile.
**You also have a voice, thank the Gods........something else I'm a little jealous of...**
He gently stroked the top of her head, making her close her eyes. He leaned back in the chair, making it rock back and forth gently.
**I'm happy you'll have a happier life than me, Rune.....**
"Genji DragonLore?"
Genji heard the familiar voice and sat up. Rune fell quiet in his arms. Genji looked at where the voice was coming from: the corner, past the window....... In the shadows of the sunbeams, he could see someone kneeling down to stay in the darkness.
He could see a feminen face with olive-green hair.
He sneered.
**You! What do you want?!**
In the faint light, he could see her smile.
"Do you really want to stay here, Genji? Will you live here happily knowing that the world will end in a matter of months?"
Clutching the bundle his sister was wrapped in more tightly, Genji slowly got up from the chair and moved away from the woman.
**Leave me alone! I don't want anything to do with you!**
The woman chuckled, and stood up. Genji could see her a little better. She was wearing a cape so black it looked blue in the sunlight. She was wearing deep blue spandex pants, and a black tunic shirt. There was a shine of silver on the shirt, reveiling a simble of some kind. She walked towards him.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Don't you want to live? Don't you want your family to live?"
Suddenly, the room disapeared, replaced by darkness all around. Rune started to cry, so Genji clung to her tightly.
**Why me?!** he yelled into her eyes. **Why do I have to do what you say?! Why not someone else?!**
"You won't be alone, remember?" the woman answered. "There are four others. One stands next to you. The other is on the same planet, waiting to be discovered."
Genji shook his head.
**What if I don't want to do this?! What if I don't want to do what you.....**
"It's too late for that now." she shook her head. "So, now, there is no choice. I know you want your world to live.......so you must save it."
Genji fell to his knees, holding his crying sister to him.
**No......I don't want this.......I want to go home!**
"You must, Genji DragonLore." the woman said. "It is the will of the Fate that you save your world.......or let it be destroyed. This attitude of yours guarentees that your world will not survive." She waved her hand, flinging her cape around her until it covered her.
"Genji.............will this be the last time you hold that child in your arms? Will you let her die?"
Suddenly, Rune's cries stopped, and the furs fell limp in Genji's arms. He started to cry.
**STOP IT!**
"By order of the Fate," the woman declaired, "and by athority of the Council of Bahamut, the five who should not exist are to spare their world from certain doom!" A sharp wind blew around them, forcing Genji back up to his feet. He glared at the woman as he was again standing. She glared back at him with piercing blue eyes. "And if the five who should not exist fail...........they will face their consequences before they permanantly CEASE TO EXIST!"
**I EXIST!** Genji screamed. **I AM SUPPOSED TO EXIST!**
The woman grinned at him.
"No you're not."
Genji flung the furs aside and clenched his fists.
"You cannot fight back against the Fate, boy. You cannot alter what is to be.........but you can change what is NOT meant to be. Your world must survive. You, along with others, can save it. If you can find what is causing this world its pain, you can save your world."
**WHO ARE YOU?!**
The woman flung her cape out until it came off her shoulders and flung into the air.
"Just a simple Agent of the Fate. Nothing more."
She closed her eyes and pointed her finger at Genji.
"Now, go."
The cape suddenly lunged at Genji and knocked him over. As he fell, the cape covered him up to his neck like a blanket......
........when he hit the ground........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
........he found he was covered by a blanket, and was lying on a cot on the ground. He sat up with a splitting headache, and looked around. He was in a one room house that was shaped like a dome. He noticed that there were several Namekseijin seated around him, and right next to him was.
"Hey man, are you okay? Those goons really beat you up."
**Trunks?**
Trunk's eyes buldged as he did a double take.
"Whoa! You know my name?!"
The Namekseijin started muttering among themselves in their native tongue. Genji frowned, not knowing a word of it.
**I wish Piccolo was here.....**
"And you know Piccolo?"
Genji turned back to Trunks and nodded.
**Sure I do. C'mon, Trunks, it's me! Genji!**
Trunks narrowed one eye in thought.
"Genji? I don't know anyone named Genji."
**Oh, c'mon! We went to the Emishi village together with Goten! Remember?**
"Who's Goten?"
Genji felt a little hurt. This wasn't the Trunks he remembered. Besides, this guy looked a little older than the boy he knew.
Then, he remembered something. His father told him once about.........
**Wait a minute........are you Mirai no Trunks?**
"Yeah." he nodded. "I'm from Earth's future."
Genji smiled in relief.
**Okay, that makes sense. I'm Genji DragonLore, I'm from Earth's present time.**
Trunks smirked.
"Nice to meet you. So, you know Piccolo?"
**Yeah. I train under him. He's friends with my dad.**
Trunks chuckled as he straightened out the two bangs on his head.
"Cool. So, who's your dad? Your face looks familiar."
**Well.....**
Suddenly, they were interupted by the Namekseijin shouting something at the door. Genji and Trunks looked up to see two other Namekseijin walking into the room. One of them was Shell, the other was an elder. Trunks smiled at them with a nod.
"Uh...." he tried to find the right word... "Rammu."
"Famlusa." both returned with a bow.
**Huh?** Genji blinked.
"Say 'rammu.' " Trunks coached. "It means 'hello.' "
**Oh. Um........Rammu.**
"Hela du saad oui." the elder said to the boy with a bow. "It is good to see that you are safe."
Genji blinked in surprise.
**Whoa! You can speak English?!**
"Here." Trunks said, sitting next to Genji. "Lemme introduce you." He waved his hand at the elder, then to Shell. "That's the village leader, Katazu, and that's his son, Shell. Shell helped rescue you."
Genji smiled at them, and gave them a small bow.
Katazu turned to the other Namekseijin in the room.
"Oui ymm syo ku." he told them. They all got up and left, talking amonst themselves.
Katazu sat in a nearby chair, and Shell stood next to him. Shell crossed his arms and looked stern, however, he spoke softly.
"You two are most lucky." he said the best he could. "Not many Namekseijin speak your language."
"Yeah." Trunks agreed. "I noticed. Thanks for helping out Genji here. He would have died if you didn't heal him, Katazu-san."
The old Namekseijin smiled.
"All is welcome." he accepted. "Now, how did this one come here, Trunksu?"
**That's what I want to know.** Genji relayed through Trunks. Trunks nodded and turned to the elder.
"He doesn't know either. But....wait a minute...." he looked at Genji. "Did you get a dream about a green-haired girl talking about other worlds?"
Genji's eyes went wide.
**You too?!**
"Hoh, boy." Trunks groaned. "Here we go."
"What is wrong?" Shell asked.
"He had the dream too." Trunks answered. "Looks like we were brought here by the same person."
"By who?" Shell wondered.
"A.......girl....." Katazu tried to say, "with......green fur on head......."
Genji lowered his head.
**I want to go home. I want to go home so bad.**
"We'll get there." Trunks promised, putting a hand on Genji's shoulder. "We just need to do what we need to do, and then we can go back home."
Genji looked up at Trunks.
**What do we have to do?**
"Good question. But if something is causing this world pain, I think I may know why. I have two prime suspects right here on Nameksei."
**Who?**
"Space crimelords. Slug, and Freeza."
Genji froze in fear.
**Fr-fr-fr-fr-fr-Freeza?**
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
Katazu allowed Genji and Trunks to stay in the village as long as they wanted. The villagers provided what they could for the boys: some water, a clean change of clothes, and some agestha leaves to eat. Genji changed out of the clothes Slug had provided, and put on the new outfit the Namekseijin gave him.
Genji now wore a dark blue, one piece gi, along with a sky blue vest and ankle high leather shoes. He tied back his hair with a piece of leather, while Trunks sat on the other side of the room and sharpened his sword with a rock.
"Lemme fill you in, Genji." Trunks said, long after Katazu and Shell had left. "From what Shell had told me, there are two strangers that came here around the same time. About a few months ago, Slug came here and Freeza arrived a day later. Slug's men have been pillaging other villages for water and agestha trees, apparently for food. A lot of Namekseijin were killed because of these brutes."
**What about Slug himself?** Genji asked. **What is he here for?**
"I'm guessing the dragonballs."
Genji frowned. Of course, THAT made much more sence.
**What about Freeza?**
"I haven't heard much. Freeza's ship is father away from here than Slug's, and Freeza himself hasn't been doing much since he got here. I think he's after the dragonballs too."
**Oh, great.** Genji grunted. **Two super powers going after the dragonballs. There's gonna be a lot of fighting.......**
"Yeah." Trunks agreed. "So, what I'm going to do is go after Freeza first. I dunno about Slug, but I know for a fact Freeza is a dangerous man who would kill as many as it took to get something. He has to die first."
**You're going to kill him?!**
"I've done it before. It can't be too hard. Besides," Trunks lowered his head, "Freeza is an evil that shouldn't exist in any world."
Genji nodded in agreement.
**Well, if it's the dragonballs they want, I'll make sure they don't get it.** He stood up, straightening out his vest. **I'm going to see how many dragonballs are out there now, and be sure that neither Slug or Freeza gets them.**
"Okay." Trunks nodded, also getting up. "Well, I better head out now. The sooner I find and kill Freeza, the better." He sheathed his sword. "And if either of us finds anything, we'll meet back here, okay?"
Genji nodded.
**Good luck.**
"Yeah, you too."
Trunks headed out of the room, and into the village. Genji sat back down, resting his hands on his knees, and thought to himself.
**After this is over, I'm going to find that green haired woman. She threatened me and my family. I can't let her get away with this.........**
He sighed heavily.
**I'm going to find her, and MAKE her take me home!**
TO BE CONTINUED!

Genji ran across the island until he came to the shoreline. He powered his ki, jumped in the air for clearance and flew off. The ocean below him was starting to churn waves, meaning there was a storm coming. He kept flying, knowing that someone was chasing him. Keeping his speed at a steady cruise, he looked behind him. He could see five of those soldiers chasing him in the air. He shook his head in pity.
**Yeah, right. You guys will never catch me if you keep this up. Looks like you forgot who my dad was.**
Genji flew lower, closer to the raging waters. Slug's men flew down after him, raising their hands at him.
"VENA!" one of the men ordered, signaling the others to shook ki lazers at Genji. The boy easily dodged them, as well as dodging several of the crashing waves.
**Okay, "vena" means "fire weapons," I guess......**
Genji looked behind him again to see that one of the men was knocked out of the air by a wave, and the others left him behind. The boy snarled.
**They won't help each other? What kind of morons are these Demon Tribe people?!**
He looked ahead of him and continued to fly on. There was land ahead of him, apparently a much larger island. He smiled, and flared his ki to fly faster. Looking behind him one last time to see that the soldiers were still behind him, he took in a deep breath before flinging himself into the water. The three soldiers stopped their chase and looked around the churning sea for any trace of the boy. Genji kept his ki flared so that they could sence he was still underwater. He went down a respectful depth and kept an eye on the surface. He noticed one soldier dove in after him, and he frowned.
'I thought I could lure all three of them down here and make a break for the surface....
'Bummer.....'
Then, he saw another soldier dive into the water. Genji mentally shrugged.
'Heh. Okay, I can work with this. Two out of three isn't bad.'
Genji flared out his ki again, letting the two soldiers know where he was. He started to swim away as they followed him. He powered up his ki to help propell him faster through the water. The soldiers started firing again, and Genji decided to take action. He turned himself so that he was facing them while still moving, and held out both his hands.
**HELL FLASH!**
A gigantic burst of ki errupted from his hands and launched at the two soldiers. They zipped for the surface like the Dickens just as the power exploded in the water. The soldiers made it out of the surface, screaming in terror! Their third comrad glared at them.
"Fryd rybbahat?!" he demanded.
"Ra'c cdnuhkan dryh ra muugc." one of the soldiers wailed in aftershock.
"Oac, oac!" the other agreed, nodding. "Dra puo ec duu bufanvim!"
The third soldier smacked the two of them on their heads.
"So what if he's too powerful for us?!" he screamed. "Get back down there and get that kid. Lord Slug will eat us for lunch if we go back emptyhanded!"
"Oaccen!" the soldiers nodded. Meanwhile, none of them noticed that Genji had powered down his ki and was swiming towards the rockier side of the shore.
He finally came up for air when he couldn't feel their ki anymore. He grabbed the rocks and leaned against them to rest a moment.
**Not too shabby. At least they know when to quit. Now, to get to dry land undetected......**
He started to inch his way across the rocks, but a wave crashed on him, pushing him against the wall, then pulling him away and under the water. He quickly jutted his head up and sucked in air before he was smashed against the rocks and pulled into the water again.
**Ow! Dammit!**
He stayed afloat, keeping his head above the water as he was about to be smacked against the rocks again. He jumped out of the water and grabbed rocks higher up the wall, making sure the waves couldn't touch him. He glared down at the water, and stuck his tounge out at them.
**Can't catch me now, you stupid ocean!**
He climbed up the rock wall until he reached the top of the small cliff. The wind started to kick up, blowing through his wet hair and making his wet clothes more cold. He shivered, rubbing his hands together to warm them up.
**Now what do I do?!**
"RAO, OUI!"
Genji looked behind him to see one of the soldiers hovering up to his level.
**Aw, man.....**
He made a run for the edge of the cliff just as he felt a ki lazer go right through his left shoulder.
Instead of jumping off the cliff for a safe landing.......
......he fell and plopped to the ground.
Holding his injured shoulder, he continued to fly across the island. The soldier and the two others chased him, fireing everything they had at him.

Not too far away, three young Namekseijin were finishing up the work on the farmlands. They were making sure the soil was tilled and that agestha worms weren't crawling through the plants. The root-eating worms were infamous for killing a whole season of crops in a matter of hours. The three farmers were the last in their group, a sort of graveyard shift in the community. They just wanted to make sure that their agestha crop would last through the storm and the coming cold.
One farmer wearing a blue gi and yellow vest glared up at the clouds.
"E fecr draca lmuitc fuimt ku yfyo." he growled.
A comrad wearing a red shirt and white pants chuckled.
"Shell, pnudran, dryd fecr fuh'd lusa dnia fedruid dra dragonballs." He reasoned.
"Fryd tet pnehk dra lmuitc, yhofyo?" the third farmer, wearing no shirt, white pants, and a cloth collar wondered.
The first Namekseijin turned to him.
"Freeza.....Slug........" he shrugged. "uha uv dras, E cibbuca. Un syopa pudr uv dras."
"E fecr DRAO fuimt ku yfyo." the third Namekseijin growled. "Ruf syho Namekseijin ryja civvanat palyica uv dras, eh?"
"Ayco, pnudran..." the second one calmed. "Oui sicdh'd ryja rydavim druikrdc...."
Suddenly, they heard an explosion. They turned to it, and struck defensive postures. None of them were sure what they would face, but all of them felt bad auras coming their direction.
Suddenly, a body fell outside the tilled farmland, and didn't move. The third Namekseijin cautiously walked up to it. The creature had yellow fur on its head, and tanned skin. It also wore a black one piece covered with a red tunic top. There was also red smears on its face. The Namekseijin recognized the red smears, and stumbled back in fear.
"Pmuut!" he screamed. "Ed'c lujanat eh pmuut!"
"Ed muugc mega dra udran uha....." the second one muttered.
The first one rushed to the creature and looked it over.
"It is....alive...." he muttered to himself.
"Rao! Drnaa uv oui!"
They looked up to three soldiers that hovered above them. The first Namekseijin snarled, showing his fangs.
"Slug....." he recognized the soldiers.
"Drec ec uin bnecuhan!" one of the soldiers yelled. "Ryht res du ic, rayn?"
The first one shook his head.
"So hysa ec Shell, cuh uv Katazu!" he introduced himself, "Oui yna uh so ecmyht, yht oui femm nacbald so myht! Mayja, yht drec lnaydina femm cdyo fedr ic!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" another soldier laughed. "Cu fryd ev drec ec ouin ecmyht, drec ec UIN bmyhad. Fa keja dra untanc, yht oui sicd vummuf un pa gemmat."
This outraged the three Namekseijin and they all took defensive stands.
"MAYJA RANA HUF!" all three of them shouted.
"Stand back, guys!" another voice called in a foreign language. "I got 'em!"
Everyone looked up to see someone else flying onto the scene. All three Namekseijin almost snarled. It was another strange creature that had washed up on shore an hour ago. It spoke a language only a few of them knew, and agrivated a lot of the youths with its unruly behavior. The one farmer that opposed the soldiers gave the creature a weary eye. The creature looked back at it.
"These guys bothering you, Shell?" the creature asked.
Shell, the first Namekseijin standing against the soldiers, knew a little of the creature's language. His father was teaching him to speak it, preparing the young man for the time he would be an elder. Shell was tempted to snear, but kept a straight face.
"Slug men try to kill this....." he pointed down at the injured creature. "They say they own planet. I will fight."
The creature looked at his injured kind in horror.
"Oh my God! Another human?!"
"Hey!" one of Slug's soldier's yelled at the creature. "Who the hell are you?"
The creature looked up at the soldiers.
"You guys are complete monsters, aren't you?! He's just a kid!"
"What are you gonna do about it?!" another soldier dared.
"I'm going to kick your butts, that's what I'm gonna do!" the creature yelled, taking a weapon out from behind him. It was a sword. "Shell," the creature shouted at the Namekseijin, "get that guy out of here! I'll deal with these morons!"
"No." Shell insisted. "I will fight."
"Then, I'm fighting with you."
Shell half frowned, then nodded while turning to his brothers.
"Kad drec uha uid uv rana!" he shouted at them, pointing at the injured creature. "E femm cdyo yht vekrd!"
"Oac!" the other two agreed. Shell glared at the two soldiers while the other two Namekseijin took the injured creature in their arms. The other creature walked to Shell's side with his sword in hand.
"You three are going down hard!" it shouted as the other two farmers escaped.
"You're the one who's going down, boy!" one soldier insisted, pointing a finger at him and powering his ki. "Who do you think you are?!"
The creature smirked as it too powered up.
"The name's Trunks...........and I'm your worst nightmare."
Shell frowned to himself. That last bit he couldn't figure out.
'What's a nightmare?'
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
Trunks looked over at Shell in slight concern.
"Aren't you going to power your ki?"
The Namekseijin looked at him with one confused eye, keeping his gaze on the soldiers.
"What mean you?"
In otherwords, "huh?" Trunks sighed.
"Use ki?" he simplified.
Shell understood.
"When ready." he insisted, looking away from Trunks. "Save ki for........em- urgent-cy."
Trunks smiled.
"Gotcha."
'I guess I'll stay out of Super Saiyajin mode for now. These guys don't look that tough.'
Trunks powered up his ki into a white aura. The soldiers were surprised by how strong he was already.
"Yikes!" one shouted. "Did you guys feel that?!"
"VENA!" another one commanded, forcing the other two to do the same. Trunks and Shell powered up ki shields, neutralizing the blasts and covering them in a cloud of dust.
"Now!" Trunks shouted, he and Shell jumping up to the soldiers. Trunks swung his sword, chopping one soldier in half instantly. Shell and another one exchanged fast-paced blows. Trunks decided to sheathe his sword before going after the other one and quickly punching his lights out.
"These guys are amateures...." he muttered to himself as his opponant hit the dirt and didn't move. He looked back up at Shell's fight, and noticed the Namekseijin's ki was slowly rising with each punch.
'He's gathering energy as he goes. He's going to do something big, I bet.'
Suddenly, Shell flung a leg up, kicking the soldier's chin with a majority of his ki. The impact shattered the soldier's helmet, and made him gasp for air. As he sufficated, Shell held his hands out to the soldier and powered up a ki blast.
"Pa kuha, fedr ruhun." he muttered, then fired. The soldier's body was disentegrated.
Trunks raised an impressed eyebrow.
"Not bad." he congradulated. "Uh.....very good."
Shell nodded at him.
"Thank you."
"Here, I'll get rid of the other guy." Trunks looked down to where the other soldier fell.....
......but that soldier was gone.
Trunks and Shell looked at each other, and muttered a universal statement.
"Uh, oh."
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Genji felt like his head was split open......it hurt to even open his eyes.
**Uuug! Where am I?**
When he did open his eyes and sat up, he couldn't believe where he was!
**Home?**
He was on his bed, in his room. All of his things were around him, in the places they should be. He opened the window next to his bed, seeing the view was still the town of Eboshi just a mile away, and surrounding the home were trees of his forest.
**I'm home! It must have been some crazy dream!**
He flopped back on his bed with a happy sigh.
**It was my weirdest yet, too. Some planet where everyone spoke this weird language, and this Lord Slug wanted me to join forces with him.....**
"Genji-chan!" he heard his mother calling. "Would you come down here a minute and watch the baby for me?"
He smiled, then jumped out of the bed. He then shuffled down the stairs and to his mother's side in the family room.
"Thanks." she said as she stood up from the rocking chair. "I just need to change into different clothes for tonight."
Genji nodded. His mother and father's wedding anneversary was coming up. He took the bundle wrapped in wolf fur from his mother's arms and she walked out of the room. Genji smiled down at his little sister, Rune. She was only a month old, barely able to hold up her head on her own yet. He took a seat in the rocking chair, and looked into her icy eyes. The baby's skin was an alarming pale color, but her blue eyes proved she wasn't albino. Genji was a little worried that she would have pink eyes, like he did, but she was thankfully born with beautiful baby blues.
'I'm a little jealous, I'll admit, Rune-chan......
'I had to endure a lot of pain because of who I was......who I was a son of......
'My eyes were proof enough I was my father's son......
'I'm glad you won't have to go through that.....'
Rune giggled and cooed at Genji, making him smile.
**You also have a voice, thank the Gods........something else I'm a little jealous of...**
He gently stroked the top of her head, making her close her eyes. He leaned back in the chair, making it rock back and forth gently.
**I'm happy you'll have a happier life than me, Rune.....**
"Genji DragonLore?"
Genji heard the familiar voice and sat up. Rune fell quiet in his arms. Genji looked at where the voice was coming from: the corner, past the window....... In the shadows of the sunbeams, he could see someone kneeling down to stay in the darkness.
He could see a feminen face with olive-green hair.
He sneered.
**You! What do you want?!**
In the faint light, he could see her smile.
"Do you really want to stay here, Genji? Will you live here happily knowing that the world will end in a matter of months?"
Clutching the bundle his sister was wrapped in more tightly, Genji slowly got up from the chair and moved away from the woman.
**Leave me alone! I don't want anything to do with you!**
The woman chuckled, and stood up. Genji could see her a little better. She was wearing a cape so black it looked blue in the sunlight. She was wearing deep blue spandex pants, and a black tunic shirt. There was a shine of silver on the shirt, reveiling a simble of some kind. She walked towards him.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Don't you want to live? Don't you want your family to live?"
Suddenly, the room disapeared, replaced by darkness all around. Rune started to cry, so Genji clung to her tightly.
**Why me?!** he yelled into her eyes. **Why do I have to do what you say?! Why not someone else?!**
"You won't be alone, remember?" the woman answered. "There are four others. One stands next to you. The other is on the same planet, waiting to be discovered."
Genji shook his head.
**What if I don't want to do this?! What if I don't want to do what you.....**
"It's too late for that now." she shook her head. "So, now, there is no choice. I know you want your world to live.......so you must save it."
Genji fell to his knees, holding his crying sister to him.
**No......I don't want this.......I want to go home!**
"You must, Genji DragonLore." the woman said. "It is the will of the Fate that you save your world.......or let it be destroyed. This attitude of yours guarentees that your world will not survive." She waved her hand, flinging her cape around her until it covered her.
"Genji.............will this be the last time you hold that child in your arms? Will you let her die?"
Suddenly, Rune's cries stopped, and the furs fell limp in Genji's arms. He started to cry.
**STOP IT!**
"By order of the Fate," the woman declaired, "and by athority of the Council of Bahamut, the five who should not exist are to spare their world from certain doom!" A sharp wind blew around them, forcing Genji back up to his feet. He glared at the woman as he was again standing. She glared back at him with piercing blue eyes. "And if the five who should not exist fail...........they will face their consequences before they permanantly CEASE TO EXIST!"
**I EXIST!** Genji screamed. **I AM SUPPOSED TO EXIST!**
The woman grinned at him.
"No you're not."
Genji flung the furs aside and clenched his fists.
"You cannot fight back against the Fate, boy. You cannot alter what is to be.........but you can change what is NOT meant to be. Your world must survive. You, along with others, can save it. If you can find what is causing this world its pain, you can save your world."
**WHO ARE YOU?!**
The woman flung her cape out until it came off her shoulders and flung into the air.
"Just a simple Agent of the Fate. Nothing more."
She closed her eyes and pointed her finger at Genji.
"Now, go."
The cape suddenly lunged at Genji and knocked him over. As he fell, the cape covered him up to his neck like a blanket......
........when he hit the ground........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
........he found he was covered by a blanket, and was lying on a cot on the ground. He sat up with a splitting headache, and looked around. He was in a one room house that was shaped like a dome. He noticed that there were several Namekseijin seated around him, and right next to him was.
"Hey man, are you okay? Those goons really beat you up."
**Trunks?**
Trunk's eyes buldged as he did a double take.
"Whoa! You know my name?!"
The Namekseijin started muttering among themselves in their native tongue. Genji frowned, not knowing a word of it.
**I wish Piccolo was here.....**
"And you know Piccolo?"
Genji turned back to Trunks and nodded.
**Sure I do. C'mon, Trunks, it's me! Genji!**
Trunks narrowed one eye in thought.
"Genji? I don't know anyone named Genji."
**Oh, c'mon! We went to the Emishi village together with Goten! Remember?**
"Who's Goten?"
Genji felt a little hurt. This wasn't the Trunks he remembered. Besides, this guy looked a little older than the boy he knew.
Then, he remembered something. His father told him once about.........
**Wait a minute........are you Mirai no Trunks?**
"Yeah." he nodded. "I'm from Earth's future."
Genji smiled in relief.
**Okay, that makes sense. I'm Genji DragonLore, I'm from Earth's present time.**
Trunks smirked.
"Nice to meet you. So, you know Piccolo?"
**Yeah. I train under him. He's friends with my dad.**
Trunks chuckled as he straightened out the two bangs on his head.
"Cool. So, who's your dad? Your face looks familiar."
**Well.....**
Suddenly, they were interupted by the Namekseijin shouting something at the door. Genji and Trunks looked up to see two other Namekseijin walking into the room. One of them was Shell, the other was an elder. Trunks smiled at them with a nod.
"Uh...." he tried to find the right word... "Rammu."
"Famlusa." both returned with a bow.
**Huh?** Genji blinked.
"Say 'rammu.' " Trunks coached. "It means 'hello.' "
**Oh. Um........Rammu.**
"Hela du saad oui." the elder said to the boy with a bow. "It is good to see that you are safe."
Genji blinked in surprise.
**Whoa! You can speak English?!**
"Here." Trunks said, sitting next to Genji. "Lemme introduce you." He waved his hand at the elder, then to Shell. "That's the village leader, Katazu, and that's his son, Shell. Shell helped rescue you."
Genji smiled at them, and gave them a small bow.
Katazu turned to the other Namekseijin in the room.
"Oui ymm syo ku." he told them. They all got up and left, talking amonst themselves.
Katazu sat in a nearby chair, and Shell stood next to him. Shell crossed his arms and looked stern, however, he spoke softly.
"You two are most lucky." he said the best he could. "Not many Namekseijin speak your language."
"Yeah." Trunks agreed. "I noticed. Thanks for helping out Genji here. He would have died if you didn't heal him, Katazu-san."
The old Namekseijin smiled.
"All is welcome." he accepted. "Now, how did this one come here, Trunksu?"
**That's what I want to know.** Genji relayed through Trunks. Trunks nodded and turned to the elder.
"He doesn't know either. But....wait a minute...." he looked at Genji. "Did you get a dream about a green-haired girl talking about other worlds?"
Genji's eyes went wide.
**You too?!**
"Hoh, boy." Trunks groaned. "Here we go."
"What is wrong?" Shell asked.
"He had the dream too." Trunks answered. "Looks like we were brought here by the same person."
"By who?" Shell wondered.
"A.......girl....." Katazu tried to say, "with......green fur on head......."
Genji lowered his head.
**I want to go home. I want to go home so bad.**
"We'll get there." Trunks promised, putting a hand on Genji's shoulder. "We just need to do what we need to do, and then we can go back home."
Genji looked up at Trunks.
**What do we have to do?**
"Good question. But if something is causing this world pain, I think I may know why. I have two prime suspects right here on Nameksei."
**Who?**
"Space crimelords. Slug, and Freeza."
Genji froze in fear.
**Fr-fr-fr-fr-fr-Freeza?**
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((() ))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
Katazu allowed Genji and Trunks to stay in the village as long as they wanted. The villagers provided what they could for the boys: some water, a clean change of clothes, and some agestha leaves to eat. Genji changed out of the clothes Slug had provided, and put on the new outfit the Namekseijin gave him.
Genji now wore a dark blue, one piece gi, along with a sky blue vest and ankle high leather shoes. He tied back his hair with a piece of leather, while Trunks sat on the other side of the room and sharpened his sword with a rock.
"Lemme fill you in, Genji." Trunks said, long after Katazu and Shell had left. "From what Shell had told me, there are two strangers that came here around the same time. About a few months ago, Slug came here and Freeza arrived a day later. Slug's men have been pillaging other villages for water and agestha trees, apparently for food. A lot of Namekseijin were killed because of these brutes."
**What about Slug himself?** Genji asked. **What is he here for?**
"I'm guessing the dragonballs."
Genji frowned. Of course, THAT made much more sence.
**What about Freeza?**
"I haven't heard much. Freeza's ship is father away from here than Slug's, and Freeza himself hasn't been doing much since he got here. I think he's after the dragonballs too."
**Oh, great.** Genji grunted. **Two super powers going after the dragonballs. There's gonna be a lot of fighting.......**
"Yeah." Trunks agreed. "So, what I'm going to do is go after Freeza first. I dunno about Slug, but I know for a fact Freeza is a dangerous man who would kill as many as it took to get something. He has to die first."
**You're going to kill him?!**
"I've done it before. It can't be too hard. Besides," Trunks lowered his head, "Freeza is an evil that shouldn't exist in any world."
Genji nodded in agreement.
**Well, if it's the dragonballs they want, I'll make sure they don't get it.** He stood up, straightening out his vest. **I'm going to see how many dragonballs are out there now, and be sure that neither Slug or Freeza gets them.**
"Okay." Trunks nodded, also getting up. "Well, I better head out now. The sooner I find and kill Freeza, the better." He sheathed his sword. "And if either of us finds anything, we'll meet back here, okay?"
Genji nodded.
**Good luck.**
"Yeah, you too."
Trunks headed out of the room, and into the village. Genji sat back down, resting his hands on his knees, and thought to himself.
**After this is over, I'm going to find that green haired woman. She threatened me and my family. I can't let her get away with this.........**
He sighed heavily.
**I'm going to find her, and MAKE her take me home!**
TO BE CONTINUED!
