Info – Here's Chapter 8 of when timelines collide. Sorry I haven't updated sooner, but he's a break down. I'm not ready for the next chapter in Controlled Rage. I'm having writers block on The Makings of a Legend. I think I should update others before I update Sailor Knight Ranma. Anyway, it's summer vacation and I should be able to update sooner now.

The Forest

Gonin's eyes slowly slid open and he found a head above his. He slowly took in his surroundings and could tell that he was still alive. Everywhere he looked there were trees. He closed his eyes and began to slip into unconsciousness again.
"I said get up!" yelled a voice. Gonin once again opened his eyes and they finally came into complete focus. He found himself looking into the face of a black haired Trunks. The boy slowly slid his eyes down the new Trunks's frame before he looked back into his face.
"Trunks?" he questioned.
"Nope, I'm Chen," the man responded before standing up. "And you're Gohan. Now get up!" he said before reaching down and helping the boy to his feet. Gonin quickly brushed the man off him.
"I don't need help!" he yelled. A fist collided with his jaw and sent him sprawling into the ground again.
"No, you need some friggin' manners. Jez, I help you up and you act like a dick about it!" Chen replied as he shrugged his shoulders in annoyance. Gonin hopped to his feet as his aura exploded around his body changing him into a Super Saiyan. He lunged at Chen only to get his wrist grabbed and swung around in a circle before impaling a tree with his head. Gonin placed both palms against the tree and pushed as his head popped free. He quickly turned back around and lunged at Chen again. As with before, Gonin found himself flying across the forest into another tree.
"Indignant little punk. If you're going to fight, fight right!" Chen called as he slowly walked towards the grounded Gonin. Gonin exploded in rage and quickly found himself in level 2. He lunged again and was quickly grounded again. He quickly rose again and stared at the black haired Trunks.
"Quit doing that and fight right!" Gonin screamed.
"I am."
"What?!" Gonin yelled.
"You're so pissed off right now that you're not thinking straight. If you would calm down for just a few seconds, you would see how to counter every move I've used so far," Chen replied as he held out his hand and motioned for Gonin to attack again. While the boy was bracing for the attack, Chen realized that they had witnesses to their little spar. Gonin shot towards him again but Chen performed an upper cut knocking Gonin into the air. He suddenly flew up at the boy and kicked him in the gut shooting him towards a rather large city. He looked back down and found a purple man with a mohawk and a red man with long hair step out of the foliage. He nodded to both of them performing a small bow before flying off towards Gonin's position. Kibito looked over at his master before the man moved to follow Chen.
'Why does he feel like a Kai?' questioned Shin as he followed Chen towards the city. They watched him land and then landed behind a few cars to watch the battle.
"Get up Gonin. I didn't do that much damage did I?" he questioned. Gonin roared in rage and then performed a flawless flying kick. Chen sidestepped it and grabbed his ankle with both hands. He slammed Gonin into the ground three times cracking the pavement underneath before slamming the boy into a street light post five times bending the metal to dangerous levels with every hit. He finally spun Gonin around five times before letting the boy go and sending him into a store window. Gonin impacted and then fell to his butt as glass cascaded around his body. He winced as a few cut into his skin and tail. He quickly wrapped the appendage around his waist and rose up again. Gonin was about to charge again when Shin stepped forward.
"Stop this. Majin Buu comes first," he said.
"I will respect your wishes, but I was only giving the boy some training. His fight style is very sloppy. I haven't even started to power up and he was already being massacred by me," Chen said as he stepped forward and gave Shin a small grin.
"You call that training?" questioned Kibito.
"A Saiyan's power increases with a near death experience. So easiest way to get them stronger is the beat the holy crap out of em'" he said his grin growing.

The Lookout

WHAM! Was all that could be felt and heard as the entire Z crew watched Goku and Piccolo perform the fusion dance. Goten, Trunks, Trunks, and Gohan had huge sweat drops appearing on their heads as they watched what they themselves would be performing shortly. "What the hell was that?" screeched Bulma as she rose up from her face plant to the ground. "Fusion dance," the man replied with a silly grin on his face. "That's suppose to save us from Majin Buu?" asked little Trunks. "Yep," Goku said. "A little far fetched I think," said Trunks. "That is so embarrassing," said Gohan covering his face. "Now we need to coordinate all of your powers. Everyone else leave the room, these boys have some training to do," Goku said as he shooed everyone out the door. When the door closed Ryoko was the first to speak. "Wow, Goku has some strange talents," she said as she began to walk off. "What do you mean?" questioned Videl. "He's the only person I now know that can turn a green man red," she said as a grin came to her face. "What?" spoke Krillin from the side. "Piccolo was beat red after that little show of his," said Ryoko as a small giggle escaped her mouth. Soon the rest of the crew were joined in as well. The giggling quickly turned into full blown laughter. Meanwhile, inside, a small vein popped out on Piccolo's head.

Above the City

Gonin watched the new man closely, trying with all his brainpower to figure out how a person could be defeating him so easily. The three older men of the group were currently discussing an issue about Gonin that he couldn't make out. Suddenly, they all turned towards him.
"Kibito will take you to the world of Kais for training. I and Chen will join up with the two of you soon," Shin spoke as Kibito grabbed onto Gonin's shoulder. They quickly disappeared from sight as Chen and Shin both spun around and faced towards the Lookout. They could currently feel all of the strongest warriors on a certain floating shrine. Shin grabbed Chen and then the two appeared in front of Ryoko. The girl yelped in surprise and fell back on her butt as she watched the two slowly begin to walk forward. Shin smiled at her while the new guy reached down and helped her to her feet. He quickly smiled himself before shaking her hand.
"What's this for?" the girl asked indicating the handshake.
"It's not everyday that a human catches the eye of a Saiyan. I'm just giving you congrats," the man spoke as a small blush formed on Ryoko's cheeks. It quickly died as she looked down at the ground.
"Too bad the boy is dead right now."
"What are you talking about? Gohan is fine," Chen replied looking at the girl with a questioning gaze.
"We know Gohan is fine. She's talking about Gonin," Videl said stepping forward.
"Wha-"
"Chen, Gonin is actually teen Gohan from a different dimension. I don't know all the details but he and Trunks appeared in this timeline a few months ago," Shin said facing Chen. The man just nodded as he looked around the Lookout. Suddenly, a door burst open and the only Saiyans left in the universe popped out of the door followed by a tall green alien. Everyone let off a small gasp as they quickly looked from Chen to Trunks and then back to Chen.
"I thought he looked familiar," Ryoko said.
"Thanks for noticing," he spoke before looking up at the group that came from the door.
"Why do you look like me?" questioned Trunks.
"That will be explained at a later date. Right now it's important that you hear a few things. Goku, you and Vegeta can perform the fusion dance and buy more time in the Majin Buu department. The same goes for the four of you. Gonin is not dead and will be training. He will return when we are sure he is ready," said Shin.
"He's not dead?" asked Goku as the rest of the gang listened in.
"No, he's not. Now get wished back to this plane of existence and start distracting," Chen replied. Piccolo suddenly stepped forward.
"I would like to go with you. I can help with training."
"I wanna go too," said Ryoko.
"Piccolo can come, Ryoko must stay. Nuthin' against you, but girls sometimes distract boys from doing things the right way," Chen said as a smile formed on his lips. The group of three quickly disappeared after that. Goku looked at the sky for a moment before turning back towards Dende.
"Talk to the elder of Namek, tell them to wish me back," he said before staring at the sky again.

Planet of the Kai's

Gonin watched in shock as the group appeared in front of him and Kibito. The red man had already given him Kai clothes like Shin and himself. He was suppose to train in them, but he had a feeling that he was supposed to be in them. Piccolo stepped forward and placed a hand on Gonin's shoulder.
"Welcome back Gohan," he said using the boy's real name.
"Thanks Piccolo," the boy said before turning towards Chen. The man smiled and then sat down.
"I guess you'll have questions, go ahead and sit down. I'll answer all of them to the best of my abilities," he said. The four creatures sat down and all of them stared at Chen.
"Why do you feel like a Kai?" questioned Shin.
"Cause, in a certain way, I kinda am," he said.
"How," the Supreme Kai shot back.
"I guess I'd better give you a little history lesson. Many years ago, when the Saiyans had just finished taking over the Planet Vegeta from the former inhabitants, they found that world's Kai bleeding heavily on the ground. Feeling his awesome power from his near lifeless body, the Saiyans bottled his blood and then hid the liquid away, keeping it the most well guarded secret around. After Frieza and the Saiyans made their peace treaty, King Vegeta decided it was time for a little experimentation. You see, King Vegeta wasn't an idiot, he knew sooner or later that Frieza would turn against the Saiyans, so he and the Saiyan elders authorized experimentation on the blood."
"What happened in this experimentation?" questioned Piccolo.
"200 Saiyan babies were chosen to receive the new experiment. It consisted of injecting the new born babies with the blood. The scientists that monitored the progress made a startling discovery. The babies were later split into three classes; failures, half breeds, and Super Breeds."
"What happened to the failures?" asked Gonin.
"Most of them were sent away to weak planets for cleansing. Others were kept on planet as slaves, course it didn't matter as Frieza blew that away. Actually, when you look at it, one of the most famous people was a failure. His name was Kakarot, who would later be called Goku."
"My dad was part of this experiment?" asked Gonin.
"Yep. I mean why do you think Frieza wanted to kill your dad so bad? It's because he realized that he had lost to a failure. However, if the scientist were still around they would be very interested in you Gohan. Why do you think you're the only half breed to be born with a tail? It's because you father passed on the Kai blood that was still strong in his system to you. I've seen it happen in many dimensions and timelines. You have the ability to transform into a Mystic Saiyan. Mystic levels are by far the pinnacle of the Saiyan race."
"What are the half breeds?" questioned Piccolo as he watched Gonin's expression.
"Half breeds are the ones that kind of failed in complete mutation. Many of them were kept and would've later been used as Elite class fighters. You met one of the half breeds already. He was the strongest of them by far, and many thought of him as the Legendary Super Saiyan. He could have been since his power level was unbelievably high for an infant, but Goku proved that wrong with his defeat."
"You're talking about Brolly, correct?" asked Piccolo. Chen nodded and then looked toward Gonin again. The teen was currently feeling the Kai clothes around his body. Chen quickly looked away when Kibito asked a question.
"What of the Super Breeds?"
"Well, they were completely successful mutated Saiyans. They didn't have the insane qualities of the half breeds and weren't failures, and they became the most feared of the Saiyans. However, their low numbers made them a lesser power to be feared. When Frieza came to destroy the planet, all of the Super Breeds were blasted off the rock to random places in the universe, however, one of them was captured and the child was put into suspended animation. Later, she would be rescued by my father, and because of the slow down in aging, they were the same age and quickly fell in love."
"Who's your dad?" asked Gonin.
"Do you have to ask?" Chen responded.
"How did Trunks find your mom?" asked Gonin.
"When he returned to his timeline, he found the planet Earth even worse off than before. After talking with grandma, he found out what happened, and quickly killed off 17 and 18."
"What happened?" Gonin interrupted.
"After my dad left, the androids got board and decided to kill all of humanity. After they finally back off on the attacks the world's population was only 15 strong. Anyway, after seeing Dende take over for Kami, dad thought that the Dende of his dimension would gladly do the same thing. So he begged grandma to make him a space ship. After it was finished he left for space. While refueling on a planet he came in contact with 9 of the only 10 Super Breeds."
"There were only 10?" Piccolo interrupted.
"Pretty much. I said their numbers were low. As I was saying, he found out what and who they were fighting and after showing his newly acquired SSJ 2 level they accepted him into the fight against Frieza's crumbling empire and family. He fought his hardest with them and in return, they took him to planet Namek where he met Dende, who quickly agreed to take over guardianship. While Dende was preparing for his journey and new guardianship of Earth, dad and the Super Breeds finished off Frieza's empire and he later found mom in the finished off palace. Pretty cool huh?" he asked.
"Yeah sure," replied Gonin.
"Ready for some training?" asked Chen.
"Before that training, can we have Gohan do something first?" questioned Shin. Chen only nodded before following the Supreme Kai towards a towering mountain.

Earth

"FUUUU... SION...HA!" yelled Goku as he once again demonstrated the fusion dance for the boys with Vegeta. The Prince of all Saiyans was very red and very ticked by the end of the dance. Gohan and Trunks had already face faulted again, while the younger boys looked skeptical.
"Now you try," Goku said as he looked at his son's and friends. All four boys looked at each other and then got situated for the dance. Gohan and Trunks began first.
"FUUUU...SION...HA!" they both yelled as their fingers came together. The only problem was that their fingers didn't meet right. Goku noticed this and was moving to say something when everyone gasped. He looked around and then up realizing that his halo was gone.
"Alright, I'm alive again!" he yelled. Everyone yet again face faulted. Vegeta slowly rose up and shook his head. The boys quickly joined Vegeta standing up again. Goku once again got a serious look on his face and looked towards the two older boys.
"That was really good, except your fingers didn't match up correctly. Watch that next time," he said before looking at Goten and Trunks. The two boys quickly looked at each other and then got into position.
"FUUUU...SION...HA!" they yelled and then quickly started to call apologies as they fingers began to move back and forth trying to find the right place. Goku started to form a sweat drop while Vegeta put his hand to his forehead and let off a frustrated sigh.
"This is going to take awhile," he said under his breath.

Planet of the Kai's

Gonin screamed with all his might as his hair blasted straight up into his SSJ 2 form. His hands felt like they were on fire as he tried to pull the sword free. He continued to yell as he felt it budge slightly. The mountain began to crumble and shake apart as his yell increased. He continued to yell, trying his hardest to pull it free.
"Damn piece of shit!" he screamed as the sword finally pulled free from the mountain. He continued to float above the mountain breathing hard when Chen suddenly appeared in front of him and slammed a fist into his stomach. Gonin slammed through the remainder of the mountain. Chen smiled as he watched the mountain closely. Suddenly, rocks exploded away and Gonin was standing in the middle of it holding the sword with one hand.
"Bastard!" he yelled shooting towards Chen. He suddenly stopped a few feet from him and then swung the sword. Chen ducked the swing, but Gonin was ready for it and held out his closed first coming around. Just before impacting Chen's face, Gonin found his fist in Chen's palm.
"At least your thinking now," he remarked before his fist cocked back and he swung forward catching Gonin hard in his face. Gonin flew back slightly and then turned back around and shot towards Chen again. Chen shrugged and then ducked down catching Gonin heavily in the gut. Gonin started to fall and Chen quickly appeared in front of him and punched him in the back of the head, sending his body into the ground. Gonin slowly rose up and stared at Chen.
"Is that all you got?" Chen yelled down to him. Gonin slowly floated back into the air holding the sword up with one hand in normal Saiyan.
"I know what your trying to do, and I'm not going to fall for it," he said softly.
"Really now. What was I trying to do?" Chen replied smiling.
"Your trying to get me to attack you so I can learn your style of fighting through pain," he said softly again still staring at Chen.
"Well, your half right. You still haven't noticed that your welding the Z-sword with one hand in normal," Chen said a small smile crossing his features.
"Wha?" Gonin said before looking towards his hand. He floated there dumb founded for a minute before looking back towards Chen.
"Congratulations, you passed the first lesson in Chen School," he said still smiling.
"What's the next one?" Gonin asked softly. Chen just smiled wickedly as he slowly floated over towards Gonin, ki blasts forming in his hands.

Sorry this was such a short chapter, but hopefully you enjoy. Next time, the fusions are complete and Gonin starts to train with Elder Kai and Chen.

Preview:

"I'm gonna show you the way to achieve Mystic level 2. And it won't be easy," Chen says softly.
