THE TIME TRAVELLING ADVENTURES OF THE NEXT GEN DB GANG, AND #17
chapters 5 & 6
Chapter 5: Mirai Trunks' World
The next day, Mirai Trunks took his guests, except for #17 on a tour of his world. #17 opted to stay at Capsule Corp. because he didn't want the populace to panic when they see him. So the 6 kids said good-bye to Bulma and flew off, Marron on Mirai Trunks' back (since he was their host). Bulma immediately set off to work on a time machine to bring her guests back home. #17 decided to make himself useful by helping with the repair work. (Most of the work was done by robots so they wouldn't freak out when they see him.)
From the sky, Trunks, Goten, Marron, Bra and Pan could see how bleak Mirai Trunks' world was. What used to be cities lay in ruins. Most of the land and vegetation had been destroyed and had only begun the slow process of regeneration. There wasn't a soul for miles around. It was eerily quiet, devoid of all the activities that indicated presence of life that they were so used to in their world.
Presently they came to a small human settlement. Mirai Trunks told them that these days he spent most of his time helping the people rebuild their cities. There were a number of people at the settlement, some with cranes and forklifts, others carrying bricks and pails of cement on their bare shoulders, all working as hard as they could to build their lives again. Mirai Trunks and the others landed nearby and walked to the settlement. The people stopped their work for a while and greeted Mirai Trunks. He returned their greetings and introduced his guests, but didn't tell them where they were from. They didn't press him to tell them, although many of them looked at Trunks strangely. Then Mirai Trunks joined them in their work; effortlessly carrying a ton of bricks and assembled them to build a simple house. Trunks, Goten, Marron, Bra and Pan offered to help too. Soon they were able to rebuild the small town, with enough houses for all the people, and some basic facilities such as water supply which they did by creating a dam on a nearby river. The townspeople were very grateful for their help. Their town, which would've taken months if not years to rebuild was now completed in just 1 day.
They carried on in this manner for the rest of the day. At the end of the day, they were all very tired but happy. Mirai Trunks was very grateful for their help. Even with his Super Saiyajin strength he could only do so much at a time. With the 5 assorted human and Saiyajin hybrids, they got so much more done in a shorter amount of time. The assorted human and Saiyajin hybrids, on the other hand were glad to help. Seeing how hard these people's lives were made them appreciate the comforts of their home, which previously they had pretty much taken for granted.
They returned to Capsule Corp. at sunset to find that #17 had prepared dinner. He told them that after doing the repair work, he went to the woods to hunt. Using his skills as a hunter, (and he was very skilled, because that's what he's been doing for a living all these years since his resurrection after the Cell games) he was able to get a big catch, enough to feed all the hungry Saiyajins. He even cooked the meat himself. It was delicious, and after a hard day's work they were all every hungry anyway and would've eaten just about anything.
Bulma announced that her work was going well, but there were some complications in her calculations. She then went on to describe them in great lengths, but noticed the alarmed looks on the faces of her guests except for her son who was used to her technical ramblings. "Don't worry," she finally said. "It's just a minor setback. I'm sure I could solve that little problem and we'll send you back to your correct timeline at the correct time. I'll just need more time, another week, I think. Your parents won't even know you've been gone."

Chapter 6: Pan meets Mr.Satan
So Trunks and the others spent another week in Mirai Trunks' world. They spent most of their time helping the people rebuild their cities, grow their crops and distribute food, clothes, medicine, building material and other supplies where they were needed. They divided the work among themselves, with Mirai Trunks in one part, Trunks in another, Goten in another and the girls in the other, alternating between north, south, east and west. They achieved a great deal that way.
Bulma decided that despite the unknown long term effects of timeline crossovers, given the length of time that they had to be here, contact with her world was inevitable. Perhaps the effects would just be contained in this world, as long as their visit was only limited to this world and not to any other world their existence here creates.
Today Marron, Bra and Pan were in Ginger town. Marron was working out the plans for the rebuilding of the town, while Bra and Pan helped with the transportation, since they can fly and carry heavy loads. Unlike Trunks and Goten, Bra and Pan were not best friends. Their personalities were just too different. Yet they can get along very well with each other, as they do now. Of course, they still bickered between themselves, but it was always short-lived, as children's fights always are.
It was during one of these little fights that Pan suddenly noticed someone she knew very well in her world. Mr. Satan had approached them when he saw the 2 girls fighting, and their sister or babysitter looking helplessly in the distance.
"Can I help you, girls?" he asked kindly.
Pan looked up when she saw her grandfather. She hadn't visited him for a long time, and she missed him very much.
"Grandpa!" She cried out happily and hugged him. Mr. Satan returned her hug and looked questioningly at Pan, then at Marron. Marron smiled. "You look very much like her grandfather, you see."
Mr. Satan smiled and looked at Pan again. She looked very much like her daughter, who was killed by the cyborgs 3 years ago.
"What's your name, little girl?" He asked.
"I'm Pan, grandpa. You know that," Pan said looking at Mr. Satan, puzzled.
"That's not your grandpa, silly." Bra said, before Marron silenced her.
That was right. Pan remembered Mirai Bulma saying something about being in a different dimension, that they were not really at home now, but Pan didn't really understand it. They were certainly not at home now, and she missed her parents. At least Bra had her mother here.
"I'm Mr. Satan." Mr. Satan introduced himself.
"We know that," Bra said, crossing her arms in a very Vegeta-esque style.
"Oh." She's probably seen my picture in the news, Mr. Satan thought.
"I'm Marron." The blonde girl introduced herself. "This is Bra," she pointed to the lavender-haired girl. "And that, as she just said, is Pan." She pointed to the black-haired girl who was still hugging Mr. Satan. "We were helping with the rebuilding."
"That's very kind of you girls," Mr. Satan said. "I was doing the same too. Would you like to work together with me today?"
"Yes, grandpa." Pan happily accepted. Mr.Satan smiled. "Come on then."
To cut a long story short, the 2 little girls gave Mr. Satan quite a shock with their display of strength while Marron laughed silently behind them. But they found that Mr. Satan had helped a lot too, using his fame and fortune as the cyborgs' slayer to finance the building of homes, hospitals and schools. In gratitude the people had renamed his hometown as Satan City. Many roads and important buildings (and babies) were named after him too, to honor him.
When they finished for the day, Mr.Satan presented them with his autograph, personalised especially for them. Pan was happy that day. She missed home terribly, and was glad to meet a familiar face in this unfamiliar world. Mr. Satan in turn, was happy too, to meet the little girl who reminded him so much of his beloved Videl-chan.
Meanwhile, Bulma's time machine was almost ready. She was able to solve the little problem in he calculations. It was now just a matter of testing and charging the machine. Hopefully #17 and the rest would be able to return to their own timeline without any trouble. She was glad to have the children around, but they should return to their own timeline. She would miss them when they're gone.
