Revelations
"You're saying a group of people just disappeared from Earth?" The Grand Kai sat behind
his desk peering over the stacks of paper there. Before him, an old witch floated on top of her crystal
ball.
"That's right," Baba replied. "They just vanished. They are not dead, and they are not
anywhere in the physical universe. I've also checked all forms of limbo. They are just not there."
The wrinkled Kai stroked his long, white beard. "That is strange indeed. We can't just have
people disappear from the universe!"
"I should say not!" Baba agreed. "I would suggest you send someone to investigate.
Preferable one of your strongest warriors."
The Kai thought for a second. "I would agree, except all my best warriors are dead! That's
why they are here, in the Otherworld!"
Baba shook her head in dismissal. "So bring one of them back to like. You ARE the Grand
Kai."
"I can't do that!!"
"Why not? Afraid the Supreme Kai will be mad?"
The Grand Kai adjusted his sunglasses. "Actually, yes."
Baba snorted. "Don't you think he will be more angry if he finds out people are just
disappearing from the face of the universe?!"
The Grand Kai was silent for a moment. "You . . . may be right."
Baba smiled. "Excellent. Now, I know just the warrior you should send . . ."

It had taken a little while for Videl to calm down. Once things were settled again, Bulma
thought of something. "So, why would Brolly want to kill Videl's daughter.
Again, Mirai Bulma and Mirai Videl exchanged glances. Again, Mirai Videl spoke. "He
wants to get to Pan because of her father," she said, stroking the girl in question's hair. "You see,
Pan is Goku's granddaughter."
That took a second to sink in. Then Bulma spit out her tea. "Her father is Gohan?!" Mirai
Bulma and Mirai Videl nodded. Videl promptly fainted.
Everyone looked at the no unconscious teen. Pan turned to her mother. "Who is that,
Mommy?"
"Well, Panny, do you remember what we told you about Trunks going back in time?" The
girl nodded. "Well, that is the version of me from that time. She, and the other Bulma here,
accidentally traveled here."
Pan looked confused. "How did they do that?"
Mirai Videl smiled. "Well, one of their Bulma's inventions messed up. Kind of like our
Bulma's" she said with a smirk.
Both Bulmas snapped to attention. "Hey!" Pan giggled.
The younger Bulma sighed and looked at Pan. The girl's cuteness was starting to get to her.
She smiled. "So you're Gohan's daughter."
"What?!" Now everyone turned to see the young Trunks and Goten standing in the door.
They had chosen that moment to join the adults.
Bulma glared at them. "Don't you boys know not to eavesdrop?"
Goten looked confused. "But, I didn't drop anything. Did you, Trunks - OW!" Goten
glared at his best friend and rubbed the new lump on his head.
Trunks sighed. "Anyway, what was that about Gohan having a brat?"
Mirai Bulma looked at Trunks. "Brat?"
Bulma sighed. "He's been hanging around Vegeta too much."
Goten cut them off. "But, Big Brother doesn't have a kid!" He turned to Trunks. "Does
he?" The Saiyan Prince shrugged.
Bulma quickly straightened them out. "The Gohan we know doesn't have any children, but
the one from this timeline did. Do you understand?"
Goten smiled and scratched the back of his head. "Um . . . not really." Everyone sweat-
dropped. "But that's okay! Does this make me an uncle?"
Bulma shrugged. "I guess it does."
"Cool! Trunks, I'm an uncle!"
"I heard."
Bulma sighed and motioned towards the curious Pan who hopped off her mothers lap.
"Boys, this is Pan. Pan, this is Goten. He is Gohan's brother. And that is Trunks, a miniature
version of the one you know."
"Hey!" Trunks was slightly put off by his description.
"Um, hi," Pan greeted the two bashfully.
Mirai Videl turned to the younger Bulma. "Judging by her reaction," she said, gesturing
towards the unconscious Videl, "I would guess she knows the Gohan in your time?"
Bulma tore her eyes away from Pan and the boys and looked at Mirai Videl. "Yes. They
are classmates. However, I don't think she knows anything about saiyans or ki or anything. She
definitely doesn't know about who really beat Cell in our timeline."
"Huh?" the Mirai women stared at her. "What do you mean 'who really beat Cell?' It was
your Gohan, wasn't it? That's what Trunks said," Mirai Videl asked.
Bulma nodded. "That's true, but your father actually took the credit for beating Cell.
Everyone believed him and Gohan didn't want the publicity."
"What?!" Everyone turned to see the now conscious Videl sitting up and staring. Everyone
cringed.
The Mirai women turned to Bulma. "You want to explain?"

When Goku Son reached the Grand Kai's office, he was surprised to find someone else there
as well. A short man with purple skin, white hair, and pointy ears was speaking to the Grand Kai.
Goku knocked on the door to get their attention. "Ah, Goku! Come in. We were just talking about
you," the Grand Kai instructed.
"Ah, Goku. I've been wanting to meet you. I've heard a lot about your accomplishments,"
the stranger said, extending his hand.
Goku shook the hand and turned to the Grand Kai. "You wanted to see me, sir?"
"Uh, yes, Goku. You see, we have a problem. A group of people have disappeared from the
universe. They are not dead, just gone." He gestured to the stranger. "I was discussing how to
handle this with the Supreme Kai here." It was obvious that the Grand Kai was nervous.
Goku turned to the man. "You're the Supreme Kai?" He smiled and nodded. "I kind
figured there had to be someone higher than the Grand Kai," Goku said grinning and scratching his
head.
"Why is that, Goku?" the Grand Kai asked.
"Well, sir, I've never actually seen you do any work." The Grand Kai fell down backwards.
The Supreme Kai tried to keep from laughing.
The purple skinned god turned to Goku. "In order to investigate these disappearances, we
have decided to give you back your life and send you to investigate."
"Really?" Goku asked, surprised. The Grand Kai sighed in relief. The Supreme Kai had
actually like the plan.
"Yes Goku." The Supreme Kai raised his hand and Goku's halo disappeared. "We're
sending you because you're one of the best. Also, your sons were among those who disappeared."
"What?! Gohan?"
The Kai nodded. "Yes. Now, I want you to go back to the mortal realm. You should
probably get a partner who has not been gone for seven years. Bring him here and then you will
start your assignment. Understood?"
"Yes, Supreme Kai."
"Call me Shin."
"Um, alright." Goku raised to finger to his forehead. "Bye." With that he disappeared.
"Good luck, Goku."

Out side of Capsule Corp, there was a flash of light and two teens appeared out of thin air.
"Instant Transmission?" Mirai Trunks asked looking at his companion. "When did you learn that?"
Gohan scratched the back of his head and grinned. "About three seconds ago."
Mirai sweat-dropped. He pulled himself to his feet and Gohan did the same. "We should go
inside and talk there."
Yeah," Gohan agreed as the entered the building. "Goten should have some Senzu Beans."
"Who?"
Before Gohan could explain he heard a voice. It sounded like Videl. He motioned for
Trunks to follow and led him towards the voice. He looked into a room to see a very odd sight,
which frightened him almost as much as Brolly. In the room where two Bulmas, two Videls, Goten,
Trunks, and a little girl he did not know. He poked his head in just in time to hear the Videl he
recognized as his classmate say, "So you're telling me that Gohan is an alien and he was actually the
one to kill Cell?"
The demi-Saiyan's eyes widened. "Eep!"
All eyes turned towards the door.
