The twins smiled as they saw their grandmother, cooking away in the kitchen.
"Hey mom, we have guests." Emily declared, placing baby Alex on the floor, who automatically headed back towards the front door again, but got scooped up by Gohan. Alex watched her in amusement, whilst ChiChi came out the kitchen to welcome the new guests, but stared at them in shock.
"They look like you and Trunks. Except the other way around." She stuttered, Alex and Jake smirked at this, knowing now why they were constantly getting told.
"Yeah, they're our future kids alright. Jake and Alex. They came for some special training since their timeline isn't safe enough. Right guys?" Emily asked, looking at the twins who nodded.
"Uh right, it's so peaceful here." Alex sighed.
"Not with you two crawling around." Mirai Trunks laughed, juggling baby Jake in his arms so he could also take baby Alex of Gohan.
"Here, let me take Jake off you honey." Emily giggled, grabbing baby Jake off her husband, Jake just stared at him.
"Aw, you never told me you were so cute as a baby." Alex teased, hitting Jake in the arm, he just glared at her.
"Oh but sis, you look equally adorable in that outfit." He laughed, Alex looked at what her parents had dressed her young self in and winced as she realised it was a baby pink suit.
"I wore that?" She muttered.
"Why, what's wrong with what your wearing?" Emily asked with an amused look on her face as she adjusted her grip on baby Jake.
"Yeah, I think it's really cute." Mirai Trunks added, taking baby Alex off Gohan, Alex stared at them as if they were insane, but quickly shook her head as she tore her eyes away from them.
"Cute. Uh huh." She mumbled, fumbling around in her pocket and producing a couple of capsules that she had snuck on the machine. Jake stared at her curiously for a moment.
"What have you brought this time?" He sighed.
"I've only gone somewhere once, and believe it or not, we need all of this. I won't reveal them as I know they're not suitable around little us." She argued, Jake glanced at his parents and nodded.
"Yeah, you gotta point there." He said. A short while later, the meal was ready and everyone sat down at the enormously large table, Jake and Alex forgetting what it was like to have so much food, since there was so little back in there timeline with it being too dangerous to venture outside often.
"So, what have we got to prepare for?" Goku asked, looking at them.
"Aliens. Twin aliens, a boy and a girl known as Gitana and Miles. They come, I think it's in eight months time here. When they came in our timeline, me and Alex were only 18 months old. Dad took us to Capsule Corp for safety. And when uncle Goten and Trunks came later on, they told us everyone was dead. We four and someone else we won't mention will be the only survivors of the saiyan race." Jake started, everyone stared at them in shock, whilst Emily stared at them curiously.
"That's terrible. Who's the other person, another child? It wouldn't matter now wouldn't it, they'd exist in this timeline." She asked.
"Not yet and we're not saying anything." The twins declared in unison, causing baby Jake and Alex to burst out laughing.
"Ooh, just you two wait until you drive your family mad doing it." Alex laughed, Mirai Trunks pulled a face.
"Don't be giving them ideas." He groaned.
"They won't need them, it comes naturally doesn't it Al?" Jake said, laughing himself now at his father's reaction.
"Yep, and we love winding uncle Goten up with it. It really does annoy him. Well we did…" She said, muttering the last bit as she realised what she just said, Jake sighed at her.
"We'll find a way to get them back Alex." He said softly.
"How, Piccolo's gone remember? So has the Dragonballs." She replied, Jake shook his head, pondering the answer to that.
"I'll think of something." He said.
"So, I die too then?" Goten asked.
"Yeah, last week. You and Trunks fused to a super saiyan level four Gotenks but they still got to you. It's no use, we need to transform higher." Alex said, Goku frowned at this.
"So what do you two go to?" He asked.
"Level four for Jalex, and probably individual, but like Alex said, we need to be higher." Jake said.
"Who's Jalex?" Gohan asked.
"Our fusion form." Alex replied.
"You two fuse as well? That is too weird." Emily muttered.
"Well, when you're the only two left alive mom, you really don't have any other options." Jake said, Emily gasped.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it to any disrespect, I just. Fusion is weird enough, the last thing I'd think of seeing is a half female half male fusion." She sighed, Alex smiled at this.
"It's ok. Our timeline isn't exactly the nicest place to be at the moment. But it was fun, we've grown much closer since Trunks and Uncle Goten taught us fusion. Even if it's still no use. We've been hiding for years now, but we're the only ones left so we need do something." She said.
"So you two want to use the gravity room in the hyperbolic time chamber. Looks like we'll be needing to train too, I don't want this to happen here." Emily said firmly.
"Neither do I." Goku said, ChiChi sighed.
"You two have gone through so much. I hope you work out how to destroy these monsters." She said.
"Us too Grandma, we don't want to keep continuing to live in fear." Alex replied softly.
"So, we have eight months right? Well I managed to ascend three levels in one years worth, so we can kind of take our time. How long do you two plan on staying here?" Emily asked, Alex looked at Jake.
"As long as we can, it wouldn't matter, we can return to the minute we left. Which we don't because it's confusing enough as it is time travelling. As long as we're not annoying you that is. We grew up without everyone so we'd like to spend as much time as we can with you guys, if you don't mind that is." Alex said quietly, Jake nodded. Emily turned to her children then looked back at Jake and Alex and smiled at this.
"Sure, it wouldn't bother us. I can't believe you two have gone through all this. But don't worry, we're determined we're not going to let it happen again." She said firmly, Mirai Trunks nodded.
"We can have up to four people training in the hyperbolic time chamber, why don't we train with you." He suggested.
"That'll be great won't it Alex." Jake said.
"Yeah, great." She mumbled. The next day Goku cornered Alex outside his house.
"You want to wish everyone back but Piccolo has gone." He said.
"Yeah." She said.
"Well, why don't you travel to Namek to wish us back?" Goku said.
"Where's that?" Alex asked puzzled.
"It's Piccolo's home planet. You can get there by taking directions from King Kai, and you might have a chance of seeing us there." Goku explained.
"So how do I get to this King Kai? I've never heard of him before." Alex asked, Goku laughed at this.
"Yeah, we weren't around long enough to tell you the stories probably. The only way you can get there is to use the instant translocation technique." Goku said, Alex's eyes widened at this.
"I remember uncle Goten telling me about that, you knew it." She said, Goku just nodded at this. That night, Alex and Jake were settled down in a spare room Emily and Mirai Trunks had. Jake immediately fell asleep, but Alex couldn't. She'd given up sleeping normally years ago, she barely did it anymore. Sighing, she got up and crept out the house, careful not to wake anyone up. Finding a bench outside, she curled up and looked up at the sky.
"Are you alright?" A voice asked startling her, Alex looked around to see Emily standing there, and looking past her to see Mirai Trunks gazing out the window at them.
"Sorry if I woke you." She said.
"No, we haven't gone to bed yet. Can I join you?" Emily asked.
"Sure." Alex replied, moving up, taking the hint, Emily sat down next to her future daughter whilst Alex resumed her gaze at the sky.
"Nice night isn't it?" Emily said.
"I don't know anymore. It's nice to see the sky, we don't see it anymore through the fog and smoke." Alex sighed.
"I'm sorry. I just don't think sometimes." Emily muttered, Alex looked at her future mother and smiled weakly.
"No, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so out of it all the time, it's just that although we came back to get to know you guys, we still have to work out how to get strong enough to beat them." Alex said.
"And you will, I promise to help you get to level six. I'm almost level five now myself, a couple of days in the hyperbolic time chamber will mean I can become strong enough to make a difference. As long as you train under my rules, you will see an improvement." Emily said.
"Thanks, you have no idea how good it is to see you and dad again. All I have left of you is a photograph of the four of us together, taken shortly before you died." She sighed.
"It's great to see what our children grow up to become. We do joke about how time consuming you two are at the moment, but me and your dad seeing you two the other day, we felt really proud. Come out Trunks!" Emily said, glancing at the window. Mirai Trunks widened his eyes like he'd only been caught, but made his way out the door.
"Thanks, we try our best." Alex replied.
"So, you've got to be level six huh? I'm sure Emily would do it." Mirai Trunks said, sitting down next to his wife.
"I am not letting that happen again. I don't know how you have coped with it all." Emily sighed.
"So who else comes into the world? I know I don't have a third child since you wouldn't have said something." Mirai Trunks asked.
"Uncle Gohan has a girl. Aunt Videl will get pregnant in four months time." Alex replied, smiling as she thought of Pan. Just thinking about her and Bulma made her miss them even more. But she couldn't think like that, she and Jake had a job to do, and she was determined to do it.
"Ooh, I have a niece then. Very nice. Why don't we go in, it's getting chilly." Emily suggested.
"Alright. Sorry if I'm keeping you up, I barely sleep anymore." Alex said, getting up, Mirai Trunks smiled at her sadly.
"If we get to sleep before midnight, it's a well deserved miracle. There's something on our minds all the time anyway. It's sad to hear that you can't even sleep soundly anymore. Reminds me of my past." He said.
"Yeah Grandma Bulma said to me you came to warn us from a nightmarish past you lived in. Times kinda repeating themselves." Alex laughed bitterly.
"You can't sleep either huh?" A voice asked from the doorway, everyone spun around to see Jake standing there, as he made his way over.
"I woke you up didn't I? I'm sorry bro." Alex sighed.
"No, for once you haven't. I just can't sleep, it's too peaceful here, we've been living in a war zone for years so we're used to hearing explosions and stuff. It's too quiet now in the past and we're struggling to adjust. We'd better do it though cause when we defeat these aliens, everything will return back to normal. Hopefully." He said.
"I like that attitude." Emily said.
"It's what keeps us going. Without it, we'd have lost it years ago right Jake?" Alex said, her brother nodded.
"I can't believe you had to go through all this. It's sad, although I was brought up badly, I've never gone through something so terrible as that. But like I said earlier, I'm determined to make a difference." Emily said.
"Me too, it's great that you have warned us, nobody deserves to live like that." Mirai Trunks added, the twins smiled weakly.
"Its great that we can make a difference. Grandma Bulma said she wouldn't be able to live with herself it this happened again. She spent years working on the time machine. Since everything was lost when our house was destroyed, she had to start from scratch. Dad gave her the plans when he took us there to safety." Jake said.
"That was wise of me. Well hopefully I won't have to do that." Mirai Trunks said as the four of them made their back into the house. Meanwhile several galaxies away, a terrible duo was on a now deserted planet.
"No saiyans here either. Miles you said there were some here!" Gitana yelled, glaring at her brother.
"I could have sworn I sensed one here. Never mind, I can definitely sense a group of them over there." He said, pointing ahead of himself.
"Are you sure? We're wasting our energy destroying measly planets with your stupid mistake, this is the fourth planet you got wrong." Gitana snapped folding her long arms across her chest.
"I'm telling you sis, I sense them. There's about five or six of them, I can't tell from all the way out here, but they are definitely there." Miles declared, dropping his hand.
"You had better be right this time. I'm not wasting any more energy on stupid planets that you say inhabit the saiyans. So where is this so called group of them then?" She snapped. Miles closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Hm, they're on a blue and green planet. Master Landau said it was called Earth. It's a breathable planet, they've probably mated there." He said, opening his emerald green eyes at his sister.
"And how long will it take us to get there?" She demanded.
"Earth is quite a while away. If we head off now, it'll take us six months, give or take a few days." He stated, tapping away on a little computer on his wrist, Gitana smirked at this.
"I need to store up on energy. What are we waiting for, lets get going." She declared, Miles nodded his head as they made their way over to two oval space ships and each climbed in one. Closing the doors, they both hovered and a light shone around each ship as a cylinder shaped middle grew from each end, joining the two spaceships into one. They closed their eyes as the spaceship took off at light speed, their destination: Planet Earth.
