Hello and thank you to all those who reviewed this story!. I'll try to update very quickly. If I don't,
I might lose interest and forget to finish, so I'll try to do things quickly. Heh heh. Anyway, we will
soon be approaching the "action" part of this story. Also, Goku and Vegeta will be joining the act
soon enough. And what enemy will our heros be facing in the Mirai Timeline? I will tell you this, it
is NOT Majin Buu.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own DBZ. I'm waiting for it to come up on E-Bay.
Dragon Ball Z
Field Trip to the Future
Chapter 5
What Now?!
Gohan stared at the blue haired scientist. "We are WHERE?!"
Bulma nodded. "We are in the Mirai Timeline. We're also about eleven or twelve years in
the future."
Trunks and Goten joined the two. "So this is where Mirai Me lives?" the young Saiyan
Prince asked. Bulma nodded. "Cool! I wanna see him!"
"You mean see you?" the Goku-clone asked.
Trunks looked at his best friend and sweat-dropped. "Well, uh, yeah . . . I guess."
Everyone around sweat-dropped. Videl turned to Gohan. "So you're serious? We're in the
future? And you know a teenage version of him?" she asked, gesturing to Trunks.
Gohan nodded. "Bulma, how far are we from Capsule Corp?"
She examined her computer then gestured to the east. "About an hour or so walk that way.
This is . . . was . . . Blue Star City. It's really close to West Capital." Bulma looked thoughtful for
a moment, then grinned widely. "If we're in the Mirai Timeline we can get Mirai Me to help us get
home! After all, she built the original time machine!"
Gohan sighed and looked around. "Uh, Bulma, Trunks should have destroyed the androids
here a while ago, right?"
She nodded. "That's right. It would have been about a year ago for him."
Gohan's eyes narrowed. "Then why does this damage look fresh?"
Bulma and the demonic-duo joined Gohan in studying the former city in silence. Finally,
Bulma spoke. "You're right, Gohan. This is fresh. Something's not right."
Gohan closed his eyes and reached out with his senses. After a moment he found Mirai
Trunks's ki, the highest on this planet. No . . . wait, the SECOND highest. Very close to Mirai was
another power level. It dwarfed Trunks. Heck, it dwarfed Cell. It even dwarfed Gohan. This was
bad. Gohan had never felt this new ki before, but it was somehow familiar. Trunks and the new ki
were in the opposite direction of West Capital.
Gohan swallowed and opened his eyes. "Bulma, I found Mirai, but he's with someone new.
I think their going to fight . . . and Trunks doesn't stand a chance." Gohan left out the fact that he
didn't either. "You take everyone to CC. I'm going to help Trunks."
Bulma nodded. "O-Okay, Gohan." She was worried. "There's someone here stronger than
Trunks?"
Gohan nodded. "It's okay. I'll go get Mirai and meet up with you at Capsule Corp."
Bulma nodded, a little relieved.
"I'll go with you," Videl volunteered. If someone was in trouble in a fight she figured she
could be of assistance. Beside, what help could Gohan be?
"No!" the demi-saiyan replied, too quickly.
She blinked in surprise, then glared at him. "And why not? Are you trying to hide
something?"
Gohan put his hands up in defense. "N-no, Videl, nothing like that. It's just that this
timeline is very dangerous. You should stay with Bulma and the others and protect them."
Fortunately, Videl didn't notice Bulma roll her eyes. She crossed her arms. "Fine, but you
have some explaining to do later!"
"Um, sure." Gohan scratched the back of his head nervously and grinned.
"What about us? Can we come with you?"
Gohan turned to see Goten and Trunks looking up at him expectantly. "No, you boys stay
with Bulma and Videl." Their faces fell. Gohan lowered his voice so only the two saiyans could
hear. "I was serious about this place being dangerous. I want you two to protect the others. Just
don't show your powers unless you have to."
The boys nodded. Goten sniffled a bit. "Big Brother, that other power is really, really high.
Can you beat it?" he asked.
Gohan's eyes narrowed. He checked to make sure Bulma wasn't watching. She was filling
the class in and getting them ready to move out. Gohan turned back to the boys. "No." Goten and
Trunks's eyes widened and their faces paled. They both knew Gohan was strong. Stronger than
them, even stronger than Vegeta. If he couldn't beat this guy, no one could. Gohan continued, "I'm
just going to go get Mirai Trunks out of there and assess the situation. We'll regroup at CC and
figure out what to do. I'm counting on you boys." The two nodded solemnly.
Bulma's voice called out for attention. "Alright people! We're heading out. Stay together
and don't wonder off. Form three lines and prepare to get going!" The class complied, filing into
three lines. Bulma stood in front to lead the group. Videl stood in back to watch out for stragglers.
Goten and Trunks took either side of the group. Gohan slipped out, away from the group. Once he
was far enough away, he took to the air and headed for Mirai Trunks's ki. The class began to
march.
* * * * * * *
Oddly, Vegeta was, once again, not training. He was walking around Capsule Corp
confused. The ki signatures of his mate, his brat, and Kakarott's two brats had suddenly
disappeared. A group of normal humans had also disappeared, but he didn't care about that.
Without the three other saiyans, he wouldn't have any good sparring partners. And without the
woman he wouldn't have any, well . . . yeah, you know.
Vegeta looked up as a new ki approached. Fortunately, the namek would just walk in and
he wouldn't have to answer the door. A few moments later, Piccolo joined Vegeta. "What's going
on?" he asked. The Prince of All Saiyans shrugged. Piccolo went on. "I felt Gohan, Goten, and
Trunks disappear. What happened?"
Vegeta looked up at the taller man, er . . . namek. "I don't know. Bulma and a bunch of
humans disappeared as well. Why don't you go see if the other namek knows anything?" Piccolo
nodded in agreement and left to find Dende.
Vegeta walked back to the room he had last felt the missing people in and reinspected it.
Nothing was out of place. The only odd thing was a machine in the center of the room. One of it's
computer terminal's had a hole ripped in it and several scorch marks. Vegeta grunted and knelt by
the machine. It was time to figure out what the woman's infernal contraption was for.

soon be approaching the "action" part of this story. Also, Goku and Vegeta will be joining the act
