Chapter Three: Journey Through Time
5 weeks later

After working diligently everyday for the past few weeks Yamako was finally ready for her trip. She decided against a big bulky ship and chose instead to tough it out in a Time Warp. The trip would be more dangerous but that was all part of its thrill, the challenge of surviving the travel through time with nothing but the clothes on your back as protection. She built the device for creating the Time Warp right into her communicator watch. This process was simple and took only a day; it was merely a button that she would need to push to activate the Time Warp. Programming it to actually unleash a Time Warp that would take her to where she wanted proved much harder. She not only had to go to the past but she also had to jump to a parallel timeline. This took the remainder of the time spent working on it. When she was finally finished she rushed outside to use it, but she then noticed how late it was and decided to wait until morning.

The next morning she woke up early. Glancing outside she made sure that the sun was up before running downstairs and getting breakfast. She made sure to eat quietly so as not to wake up anybody, although her grandfather was probably already in the Gravity Chamber training. After eating her fill she cleaned up after herself before running back into her room. Grabbing her light blue backpack (the 1 that was once her mother's) she began to fill it with things that she might need for a few days, such as toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, and a change of clothes. Once she had gotten all the essentials packed she was ready to leave. As she headed for the door she spotted the picture of herself and her parents back when she was 5 on her bed stand. Walking over to it she picked it up. Looking over it she smiled and sighed slightly. Things seemed so much simpler back then, before Jasumin was born. Opening the back of the frame she removed the picture and noticed that there were 3 more behind it. Taking them out she turned them over and glanced at them. The 1 directly behind the 1 of her and her parents was a picture of Jasumin. Behind that 1 was 1 of Bra, Camoren, and Kasaiko, with a picture of Goten, Marron, Jaketsu, and Kurige behind it.

Smiling at the pictures she placed them in a separate pouch of her backpack so they wouldn't get ripped up or bent. Once the pictures were secure in her bag she headed out. She headed for the front door when she suddenly heard the sound of food being eaten. Carefully looking into the kitchen she saw her family awake and busily inhaling their breakfast. Cursing to herself under her breath she went the other way. Going out the back door she ran a few meters away from the house. Once she was a safe distance away she pressed the button on her watch. Pumping her hand forward in a punching motion a bluish beam shot out of the front of the watch. The blue beam expanded and soon created a Time Warp just a few feet in front of her. The Time Warp spun around and roared loudly, causing Trunks and the others to look up from their meals. Yamako gazed at the spinning cycle for a moment with hesitation before stepping forward. Gulping slightly she took to the air and flew right into the center of the vortex. Rushing outside Trunks arrived just in time to see his daughter disappear inside the Time Warp as it closed rapidly. Pan stood at the doorway frozen in shock; her daughter was gone. Trunks growled in annoyance and stomped his foot angrily, Pan walked up to him and hugged him. They both knew that there was nothing that they could do except wait for Yamako's return and pray for her safety. Vegeta watched from the doorway, hidden in the shadows. His eyes glazed over slightly for a moment before returning to their natural cold state, his granddaughter was gone and he wasn't sure if she would ever be back. Yamako wasn't a child anymore, she was practically an adult and capable of making her own decisions; however he was disheartened over the fact that he had lost the only willing and best sparring partner on the planet.

Good luck Yamako. Be careful. Come back safe. Vegeta thought as he turned and walked inside just as Jasumin had come out to see why her parents and grandfather had left breakfast so early.

She saw her parents hugging each other, staring off into space and her mother nearly crying. Something that she had never seen before. Running over she took hold of her mother's pants leg, gazing up at her as Pan turned and looked down at her younger daughter. Pan picked her up and the 3 hugged each other tightly. They were going to have to make it through this together.

SCENE CHANGE

The Time Warp was much more treacherous than she had thought. All around her lightning and all sorts of blasts came hurtling towards her but she kept going. She managed to dodge most of them but a few hit and by the time she saw the light of the other opening she was almost out cold. Using the last of her strength she rocketed towards the growing opening. Just as she reached the opening she was hit directly in the head by an energy blast knocking her into blackness.
