As I stated before, I am FINISHED! YAY!!!!! Well, anyways, I wanted to clear up confusion before I put out the next chapter. Then you would be even more confused. This is an outline of what happened.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE CONFUSED (READ VERY SLOWLY):

Key: Vegeta1-the Vegeta sent back in time Vegeta2-the Vegeta not sent back in time, who was captured and such    SAME GOES FOR BULMA        

Vegeta and Bulma, in Chapter 15, were captured and locked up by Frieza. They were on their way to Frieza when the Spirit of Vegeta (what the heck, I'll just call it that) realized that her sister (I can't tell you who) was still alive. Realizing there was hope, they decided to send Vegeta and Bulma back in time once.

            (I don't know how to put this.) There's a scientific theory that there are forks in time for every single decision that we make. So there are trillions and trillions of timelines out there. One is perfect, one is every single decision made wrong, and the rest are in-between. Well, anyway, if you were to be sent back in time 1 minute, there would be two of you. Then when a minute has passed, the you that was already there would be sent back a minute and the whole thing would repeat. However, the Spirits only sent Vegeta and Bulma back ONCE. So if the Vegeta and Bulma who WEREN'T sent back in time didn't die, then there would be two Vegeta's and two Bulma's until one of each died. This, however, would cause a temporal displacement (look it up) in time, and (according to some theories) the one that was sent back in time would die after a certain amount of time.

            Now, in Chapter 16, Bulma2 had figured out a way to get out of the room. So, Vegeta2 and Bulma2 escaped and were also thinking of a plan. I hinted that the Vegeta2 had seen Bulma1 (the flash of blue he saw).  Since he is very smart (not as smart as Bulma, though) he realized what would happen if they were still alive when 3:50 hit. So, he told Bulma that he was going to confront Frieza, right then, knowing that he would distract Frieza and die in the process. He knew Vegeta1 had a better chance than he did, since the Spirits were helping Vegeta1 out and not him. After he died, Vegeta1 and Bulma1 fell through the vent in the ceiling, and then Ch. 17 takes over.

            Well, sorry if that confused you even more. I hope at least some of that made sense. Update on Sunday. (Don't forget that it might take until Monday to appear on the site, so it's really every Monday.)
