Chapter 12 - The Reunion
Mirai Trunks stepped forward and said, "hi mum, hi dad. It's nice to see you again. So how's it been?" Bulma was at a loss for words and stood there gaping at him. Vegeta on the other hand was curious to find out why M.Trunks had come back.
"So, Trunks, what brings you here? Another warning about some evil creatures bent on killing Kakarot again?" Trunks shook his head and replied, "no, not this time. I came back to see how you guys are doing."
Chibi Trunks eventually managed to crawl out of the gravity room and went over to where all the commotion was. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw M.Trunks.
"Wow. That looks just like me, only way older."
M.Trunks laughed and said, "so that's what I looked like when I was little. Hey there Trunks. Guess what, my name's Trunks as well. I'm you, only twenty years into the future."
"Really? That's amazing. How did you get here?"
"With a time machine my mum built. I used it to warn Goku about the androids and the heart virus. Hey, that reminds me, how are Goku and Gohan doing?"
"They're fine. Gohan's mum opened up a restaurant a few months ago, and Goten thinks that he's now richer than me, but I don't believe him."
M.Trunks blinked and said, "Goten?"
"Yeah, you know, Gohan's little brother. He's a year younger than me and not as strong."
How cool, Gohan has a brother in this time. M.Trunks then wondered how many more surprises there would be.
"Hey Trunks, how about you show me around the place? And can we visit Chi Chi's restaurant later as well?"
"Sure thing." They turned around, getting ready to go.
"Wait one moment," Vegeta said.
C.Trunks and M.Trunks turned around and they both said, "what?"
"I want to see how strong you've become. After your little tour I want you to fight my son. If you manage to beat him then you get to fight me. Sound good?"
"Uh, sure then," replied M.Trunks. A fight with myself. That should be interesting, he thought as he followed C.Trunks around. And if I beat myself I get to fight my dad. That, I'm not looking forward to. I have a feeling he's going to beat me without even trying. I knew I should have trained more before I came back.
C.Trunks led M.Trunks around the Capsule Corp, and he showed M.Trunks the gravity room. "Thius is the gravity room where my dad and I train," C.Trunks explained, "he used to train under four hundreed and fifty times normal Earth gravity, but now he's trying for five hundred. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten used to that yet."
M.Trunks stepped inside and walked around the gravity room, wondering how his father did the things he did. He looked inquisitively at the control panel, thinking about the possibility of getting his mum to build one for him.
The two left the Capsule Corp and headed for Chi Chi's restaurant. M.Trunks offered to pay for lunch there, and C.Trunks was overjoyed.
"Dad never lets me go there because he hates the name or something like that. I think. Or maybe it's because it's owned by Goten's mum or something." When they arrived the first thing M.Trunks saw was a big flashing sign saying "Planet Plant." M.Trunks burst out laughing and then knew why Vegeta hated Chi Chi. It's definitely got to be the name. They went in and sat at a table. Yamcha went up to the two and said, "excuse me gentlemen, what would you like for lunch?"
"We'd like two roast chickens, a garden salad, two servings of fried rice and the seafood surprise, Yamcha," said M.Trunks, trying to keep a straight face.
"Are you sure? That's a lot of food." M.Trunks nodded. "OK then, Thanks for ordering, Trunks. Your meal will be ready in... Trunks?"
Chibi Trunks laughed and Mirai Trunks had a huge grin on his face as he said, "yep, that's right. It's nice to see you again, my friend."
Yamcha screamed and Goku, Goten and Chi Chi rushed to table fifteen, thinking it was Olly Voyle trying to attack the restaurant again. When they saw it was only Yamcha freaking out, Chi Chi sighed with relief.
"Jeez, Yamcha, next time only scream if there's a real emergency," scolded Chi Chi. She looked around the restaurant and told everyone that it was a false alarm. When she turned back to face Trunks and Trunks she screamed, and both the Trunkses and Yamcha couldn't stop themselves from sniggering,
"Is it just me or am I seeing double? I see Trunks, but I also see Trunks about twenty years into the future!" exclaimed Chi Chi, full of disbelief. M.Trunks looked at the small crowd before him and said cheerfully, "hi everyone, remember me?" Goku smiled, Chi Chi fainted, Yamcha caught Chi Chi and Goten was bubbling with excitement and curiosity. He pulled M.Trunks' arm and asked, "is your name really Trunks? Are you really from the future? Can you fight good? Can you take me to your world one day? Are you really and truly the same Trunks as my friend Trunks? Do I exist in your world? That's all."
M.Trunks looked down and replied, "yes, I'm the same Trunks, and I'm really from the future. I can fight pretty well, but I can't beat your dad or my dad. You're Goten, aren't you? It's really unfortunate, but sadly you don't exist in my world. But yeah, one day I'll let you visit my timeline. Hey, I was hoping Gohan would be here. Where is he?"
"He's at school, you dummy!" laughed Goten. M.Trunks blushed, and said, "oh yeah, I should have known. Can you guys tell him to meet me at the Capsule Corp when he comes back?"
"Sure thing, Trunks."
"Well, I'd better finish my lunch. You too Trunks. We've got a fight after this!"
C.Trunks and M.Trunks finished off the last of their food and paid Chi Chi the bill. The two then returned back tot he Capsule Corp where Vegeta was waiting outside for them.
"It's about time. Now are you two ready to fight?"
"Yes," said M.Trunks. C.Trunks hesitated, then said yes as well.
"Good. Then follow me. We shall go to a desert, so that no innocents get hurt."
