Chapter 26:Not Quite What was Expected
Ten Years Later.Third Person
Ten years.It had been ten years since the defeat of Kid Buu.Ten years of peace,but no one stopped training.Only Ray and Trunks knew of what was happening,but the way they trained inspired others to do the same.Miles and Sakura had grown closer together over the years,just as Gotenks had said.They had been dating for a year before Miles asked her to marry him on her eighteenth birthday,which was ten years and one day after the arrival of Gotenks.
Ray and Trunks had thought that the teenager had somehow set his time machine wrong,as it was several months longer than they originally expected.The present-day Gotenks had been born,and so had another new comer.The son of Ruby and her husband,whom they had named Ryudo,was born a year before Gotenks and was quite powerful for his age.
Vegito and the good Majin Buu had gone off to train,not telling anyone where they were.All they had told people was that they wouldn't be back for many years.
Ten years and five months after Gotenks had first arrived in the time machine,and there was still no sign of any threat to the Earth.Perhaps them being warned about it had changed the future so much that it wouldn't happen?Unfortunately,that was too much of a good ending....
-----
A cloud of smoke rose from the city below,a sign that there was danger.Several large explosions could be heard coming from the city,as well as maniacal laughter.Floating in the air above all of this destruction was Mirai.He fired more blasts,intent on destroying everything in the area.People began to scream and run,but it was nothing but a sad attempt at escape.The evil alien relentlessly blasted them all.
Another blast from a different source cut through the air,heading towards Mirai.The blue creature stopped,having seen the golden energy out of the corner of his eye,and turned around to face it.With a slap of his hand,the blast soared harmlessly into the sky.Upon realizing who had fired the attack,Mirai's eyes widened.
"Heh heh...I thought you'd be able to get rid of THAT attack,Mirai,seeing as how you're a lot stronger than you used to be.Funny thing is....I'm stronger too!"Ray exclaimed,his silver aura blazing around him.
"I thought....you were....dead...."Mirai trailed off,fear evident in his voice.
"Correction:I WAS dead.Two times,actually.First I sacrificed myself against you,then I was killed by Majin Zapland.But now I'm back,and so are you.But I don't plan on blowing myself up for you again."
The Tororin raced through the air,focusing on an energy in the distance.He knew he was not quite a challenge for Mirai because of the significant power boost the creature had somehow received.But reinforcements were on their way.

"Across the world,strange creatures with the ability to fly and shoot lights out of their hands wreak havoc upon the Earth.Ladies and gentlemen,we urge you to seek shelter somewhere before these creatures make it to wherever you're watching this from,"a man on television said.
"On another note,"he continued,"The war between the two continents is still continuing today,despite the horror caused by the creatures that appeared recently.We spoke with many world leaders,and they all said that there doesn't seem to be a sign of it coming to an end any time soon."
The television shut off before the man could say anything more.Sakura,now a grown woman,threw down the remote and stomped her foot.
"Those IDIOTS!Having a war at a time like this!!Who's supplying them with weapons,anyway!?I thought all of this stuff was destroyed billions of years ago?"she pondered,her eyes full of worry.
"I heard this morning that both sides have lost well over a million lives in two days...."Ashley trailed off.
"Hm....Human weaponry was powerful at one time...But over a MILLION lives in only two days?I have a feeling that something worse than Kid Buu is behind all of this,"Sarah said.
The others in the room frowned,knowing she could be right.All of the fighters were out battling for the Universe once again,and there was a war going on between the humans.What was going on?
-----
A large machine lowered to the ground,surrounded by a translucent barrier.The glass dome on the top opened,making the barrier disappear,and Gotenks jumped out.He immediately sniffed the air,smelling an unfamiliar scent.It was the smell of death,that he could easily figure out.But it was a death caused by a different thing than he was used to.
What his enemies did left hardly anything behind.But upon closer inspection of his surroundings,he saw multiple bodies on the ground.He was used to death,but not seeing the aftermath of it.There were holes in the ground,different shapes and sizes than those caused by any form of energy.
"These were caused....by WEAPONS....I've heard stories,but I thought they were just stories!Has my warning them caused the future to change this much?Is it my fault that more destruction is being caused than in my time?"he asked himself.
Gathering courage,he walked over to a man in a military uniform and checked for a pulse.There was nothing.
"So this is what war causes....I've seen vicious battles,but nothing like this!Now I have even more reason to settle everything!"he exclaimed.
The teenager shot into the air,his senses focused on the energies of his great grandfathers.
-----
The Excalibur whistled through the air,cutting through the creatures around the Tororin.
"So,Cell isn't one of the enemies in the future....But it looks like he managed to create a few grown up Cell Juniors for us to use as punching bags,"Ray panted.
Several of the blue creatures lunged at him,each one latching on.They were the same shape and size as Cell in his Perfect Form,but were blue instead of green.The ones that latched on started to glow and self destructed,causing the Tororin to fall to one knee.A few more charged at him,only to be cut down by his mighty blade.
"PLAY TIME'S OVER!!!!"he shouted.
His hair stood up,turning silver as his muscles bulged.Many of the Cell Juniors were destroyed by his aura alone.He chopped two of them in the neck,then slammed their heads together and flipped back.His feet made contact with their jaws and upon landing on his feet,he fired multiple blasts at them.Nothing of the creatures remained.
He turned to the rest of the group,"So,you guys ready for a beating?"
The creatures laughed madly,insane smiles on their faces.One dared to try to attack,but didn't make it past the aura.Ray smirked and gripped his wrist with his left hand,focusing his energy.
"Sokidan...."
A small orb of white energy formed,and his smirk grew larger.The Cell Juniors froze,aware that they no longer stood a chance.The orb was thrown forward,and Ray used hand movements to direct it into each Cell Junior.They were all destroyed upon contact.
Gotenks landed beside Ray,"I see I HAVE altered the course of history in this timeline."
"Yeah,I guess so.I'll fill you in on the details later.Right now,I have to--"Ray started.
"He has to fight me."
Ray turned around and growled.That voice was too familiar....
"Zaffiroth...."
-----
Ending Note:"For those who don't know,or don't remember,Sokidan is a move Yamcha used in Dragonball.In Dragonball Z here in America,it was called the Spirit Bomb.By the way,I've got the redone version of The Last Android up.If you liked A New World to Protect:What If?,check it out.Anyway,the next will be up tomorrow.Please review."
