THE TIME TRAVELLING ADVENTURES OF THE NEXT GEN DB GANG, AND #17
chapters 7 & 7a
Chapter 7: Farewell, Mirai Trunks, Bulma and ChiChi!
"Good news, guys!" Bulma anounced at dinner. "I've finally completed the portal based time machine and calculated the correct time and dimension to send you back to. You can go back home tomorrow."
Bra cheered. It was fun visiting this world, and she even had her mommy here, and a much nicer big brother, but she missed her papa very much. Pan was happy to get back too, but she couldn't help feeling anxious. "What's the matter, Pan?" Mirai ChiChi (Yes, Mirai ChiChi was still around in this universe. She still lived in the house she and Goku lived in the East District, alone.)
"What if daddy got mad?" Pan asked, still remembering that the whole reason they were here was because she messed with her father's work. Her father seldom got mad, but when he does...
"Don't worry, he won't," Mirai ChiChi answered her alternate timeline granddaughter. "Tell him I forbid him to get mad or punish you for going to visit your grandma. You have 5 witnesses here to vouch for you." Pan smiled and hugged her. Goten smiled too. His mother was his mother, even in another timeline.
ChiChi was happy, but sad at the same time. Happy knowing that in another dimension, she had raised a happy family. Her Gohan had grown up to be a scholar as she had always wanted him to be, Goku was still alive, and Goten who didn't even have the chance to exist in this world had grown up to be a fine young man. But she was also sad because after this she will be alone again, and it's harder when you know what you've missed. But she's a strong woman, and will go on no matter what.
The two Trunks looked at each other. "How about a little sparring session before you leave?" Mirai Trunks asked his alternate counterpart. Trunks grinned. "Thought you'd never ask."
So after dinner, the two Trunks headed to the gravity room for their sparring session.
Half an hour later, Trunks and Mirai Trunks emerged from the gravity room, bruises and cuts visible here and there on their bodies. Trunks was wearing Mirai Trunks' jacket and Mirai Trunks wore Trunks'. Apparently they had a good workout, and had formed an alternate counterpart bond between them, Saiyajin style.
ChiChi spent the night in Capsule Corporation, since the children and #17 were leaving early the next morning. That night everybody slept late. They talked until late, knowing that they will never see each other again. Finally everybody went to bed to have a good night's sleep, glad that they met each other and sad that now they'll have to say goodbye.
The next morning, Bulma got the time machine ready, while ChiChi prepared a delicious breakfast for everybody. The machine was a handheld device, similar to Gohan's but smaller and less crude. It also had the customary Capsule Corp. logo on it. It was connected to Bulma's supercomputer which calculated the correct time and dimension to send the visitors back. It also features a prominent red button like Gohan's device, used to open a portal to the other timeline. However, to ensure that nothing else is sucked by the portal, they will have to use it in an isolation room that Bulma had already constructed.
So after breakfast, and when everything was ready, Mirai Trunks, Bulma and ChiChi said goodbye to #17, Trunks, Goten, Marron, Pan and Bra. They then stepped into the isolation room while Bulma worked on the device.
"Send my regards to everybody," Mirai Trunks said as he shook hands with Trunks. "We will. You guys take care." Trunks replied.
Mirai Trunks, Bulma and ChiChi waved their last goodbyes, and #17 and the others did the same as a portal appeared and swallowed them before slowly disappearing amidst a puff of smoke, taking them away from Mirai Trunks' world and back to their own.

Chapter 7a: Trunks vs. Mirai Trunks
We return to the fight between Trunks and Mirai Trunks.
The two Trunks entered the gravity room. The gravity level was set to 100, as they only intended to do a light workout. Mirai Trunks took off his jacket and threw it down on the floor. Trunks did the same.
Now they faced each other. "Ready?" Mirai Trunks asked. His alternate counterpart nodded. He nodded too, and the fight began.
Trunks attacked first. He charged at Mirai Trunks and threw a punch, which Mirai Trunks avoided by moving sideways. He took this opportunity to deliver his own punch, but Trunks disappeared. Mirai Trunks didn't bat an eyelid, however. He proceeded to fly up after him. Trunks was still flying up at full speed when he abruptly stopped. Not giving Trunks a chance to do the same, he put both hands together and slammed down on Mirai Trunks, only Mirai Trunks was faster. He got hit, but at the same time he managed to pull Trunks' leg, so that Trunks was slamming down the floor together with him.
They crashed down the floor. Both young men got up, and faced each other. "Warmed up yet?" Mirai Trunks asked. "Yeah. You?" Trunks asked back. Mirai Trunks nodded. "Then let's have some real sparring."
They both turned Super Saiyajin, causing the room to shine with the yellow aura emanated from their bodies. Immediately the two disappeared. At least that's what it would seem like if anybody was watching. They were still there, only their movements were too fast for the ordinary person to see. Occasionally though, bright sparks streak across the room, sometimes followed by deafening explosive blasts, like the sound of thunder catching up with the speed of lightning.
Finally they stopped. Both of them were panting heavily, their bodies wet with sweat and the bruises were starting to show. Mirai Trunks smiled as he wiped his hand over his broken lip, while Trunks had a little cut on his forehead. They sat down for a rest. "You're really good," Mirai Trunks said to Trunks. "How old were you when you reached Super Saiyajin stage?" "Eight," Trunks replied. "Hmm... a little earlier than I did," Mirai Trunks said. "I suspect though," Trunks said, "you weren't using your full strength just now. Am I right?"
Mirai Trunks looked at him in the eye. "Show me the highest level you've reached," he said to Trunks. "OK." Trunks turned Super Saiyajin, his body radiating so much energy it glowed with a golden aura, much like when they started fighting a few moments ago. Mirai Trunks turned Super Saiyajin too, and matched his level. "Is that it?" he asked. Trunks didn't reply. He seemed to concentrate hard on something, then his chi got stronger, and his body grew bigger, until his shirt was torn. He stopped soon, however and allowed himself to go to the previous level. Mirai Trunks looked in awe. "You've reached that stage." "Yeah, " Trunks smiled ruefully. "The first time I did, I fought dad and he beat the crap out of me while in the regular Super Saiyajin mode."
Mirai Trunks smiled. "Yeah. You get all the strength, but you lose your speed. That's the lesson I learnt when I fought Cell in that stage," he said, remembering the fight. "Anyway," Trunks said, "I've never gone beyond that. But I think you have." He looked at Mirai Trunks in the eye. "Show me."
"Very well." Mirai Trunks clenched his fists and concentrated. His chi grew stronger, and bright sparks of light flared round his already glowing body. He was now in the second level Super Saiyajin form.
Trunks watched in awe. "How do you do it?" he asked. "If it was just strength, I think you could do it too," Mirai Trunks said, powering down. "When I saw Gohan reach it when we fought Cell, I figured it needed a trigger to let all the energy out. Anger was the easiest one in that situation. So when I got back here I trained hard. I also deliberately let myself become overwhelmed by anger. I went to the ruins of the cities destroyed by the cyborgs and thought of all the friends I lost. I drowned myself in anger till I got mom really worried, but finally I did it."
"So you killed Cell and the cyborgs in the second form?" Trunks asked.
"As it turns out, my training in the Room of Spirit and Time got me strong enough to defeat them in the ordinary Super Saiyajin form. But I still had to be careful, especially with Cell. He's a sneaky bastard, that one. But he's gone now, and we can finally start living in peace."
"Mmm.." Trunks agreed. In his mind, he's determined to reach that level too. He bent down as picked up his jacket. He looked at it and threw it at Trunks. "Keep it as a souvenir," he said. Mirai Trunks smiled. "Thanks," he said, picking up his own jacket and gave it to Trunks. "Same to you." Trunks smiled back at him and nodded his thanks. They embraced, and walked out of the gravity room together.
