A/N: Damn! I got a lot of reviews this time, thanks everyone. Got so many I actually started this chapter the day after I posted the last. I especially like the reviews that allow me to respond to them, mainly because it's something other than "OMG! YOU R0X0R! UPDATE HURRY!" and looks as if some coherent and intelligent thought went into it.

A/N: I also hope you don't expect to see chapters as big as the other one TOO often. Simply because that one dragged on for at least twice as long as I had originally intended. I like having chapters between 5k and 9k words, not up near 19k. This one is gonna be a little short simply because I'm NOT too sure where to stop.

Response to Reviews:

Unknown reader – Yes, I thought the same thing after I read your review. I think I won't do it too often, perhaps only when the main characters are fighting some huge powerful creature on a planet where the people are underdeveloped or have strange beliefs, and then generally perhaps only that last bit because I wish to put much more detail into the fight scenes now that I'm done with the fourth universe. Quite personally, I just did it with that last chapter because I wanted to finish it quickly (it was already huge) yet I didn't want it to just be "punch explode Majin Buu is DEAD! WOOO!"

!unf3cti0n – As for the fight at the end, you are quite correct on your assumption. I wrote it from the point of view of the Earthlings. They greatest things they've see are people like Roshi and Elder Gohan. Something like what happened at the end is beyond their comprehension so their minds simplified it into something they could handle. In case you were wondering, that last blast was a combined Final Flash with Kamehame-ha. I changed it a bit from the series if you had paid attention. It wasn't one color, the blue and gold combined and mixed but didn't merge giving it a rather unique look. Kindalike marble cheese except the colors were constantly shifting.

Anime-Ronin– Unfortunately Anime-Ronin, the Karreth and Gohan thing won't come to a close until near the end. I have to introduce all four females before it'll come near to being concluded. As for Gohan meeting Raditz… Never. I disliked him and Nappa,they were used for nothing in the show, were never developed, and were hollow characters that I will never use. I just had Nappa in the beginning because I know people would go "Wtf? Nappa is supposed to be with Vegeta!" But if you would notice I dropped him when I hit the gravity chamber training. I'll never bring either of those two in again simply because I have no use for them. As for Gohan's father… I might do something about that, but if I did it'd be near the end.

Dany le fou– Ya, I suppose you are right about FanFiction. I was just so pissed off. They had it good previously, there was no need to change it, and yet they did. There's no reason for the change either and that's what pisses me off. It's incredibly hard to make a story have a nice format or style because they screw up any attempt to do so. Umm… With Karreth seeing fully erect saiyans… that's probably a plot hole I left :). Thankfully it's really minor and I hope people will just accept it and not make any critic on it. I suppose I could make 'something' up but I'd really rather not as there really isn't any plausible reason for her having see any, aside from reading naughty magazines but I don't think saiyans actually have any of those. And no, she's not like Roshi. She doesn't go peeping on anyone, except perhaps Gohan but considering how she currently feels… Anyways don't worry about Trunks. He'll probably have something similar, all the men will, hehe :). Poor Vegeta… you should see what I'm going to do to HIM. LOL! Anyways, no frying pans. Only Gohan and Trunks know about THAT weakness and they're NEVER letting it out. But that doesn't mean there aren't OTHER things that could be used ya know, like whips, chains, saws, you know, the usual kinky sex tools.

Cash – I hope this chapter answers those questions, if not just ask them in the review and I'll answer them in the next chapter. Or even send me an e-mail if you wish for the answer more quickly.

Limar – True limar, I could have extended the chapter into 3, as well as extending the Aeesu-jin and Majin Buu fights. But I didn't want to. Majin Buu because it had already been covered in DBZ with far more detail and finality than anything I could do. Could have had improvements but needless Buu wouldn't have put up much of a fight, not against three people easily as strong, if not twice, as he was. The only thing he had to keep him alive was regeneration, but like when he fought Kid Buu his regeneration only did so much until he grew tired. Just think of Majin Buu facing Kid Buu, Vegeta and Goku all maxed out at the same time. He'd go down real fast, especially since he was weaker than the Majin Buu in the series due to being released prematurely. As for Aeesu-jins… I suppose I COULD have made that longer, no real reason not to but by that time I was getting irritated at how long the chapter had became so I tried to finish it as fast as possible without it seeming TOO unrealistic.

fightingirish() - Don't worry about Gohan not being hurt and seeming like a demi-god. In the fourth universe, he was, or might as well be. You'll understand after this chapter what I plan. Gohan won't stay an all-powerful demi-god like creature for long.

ssj-chibigoten - Hehe, thanks about the compliment on the ending. If you're wondering where I got it, look no further than the Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan, fucking amazing series, but only if you like stories that go for a long time and with such depth and detail it makes the pacific ocean look shallow. Anyways, I digress. I just hope I don't become TOO unique as to no longer make this a true DBZ fanfiction.

Chapter 9: A New Universe

l-l

Gohan was smiling this night, and he had much to smile about. It was one week since the Aeesu-jin race had been annihilated, a week since the greatest threat the universe has ever known, Majin Buu, had been destroy, five days since Babidi met a quick and violent end and an hour since he felt his complete power return to himself. There was only one worry he had left tumbling around inside his mind, a worry that had yet to even begin to manifest itself, a threat that never would if he had his way. Dr. Gero will never live to complete his androids.

Saving the universe always did leave a warm tingling feeling in the bowels of his stomach.

Gohan sighed contentedly as he gazed up into the night sky. He was lying beside the lake which concealed the gravity chamber. The ground around the lake was grassy for the most part with trees dotting the place here and there providing shade from the sun during the day. This park was completely enclosed within the perimeter of the palace and was carefully nurtured every day. It was quite surprising what one could find, especially such a fictitious sight as this that betrays Saiyan ideologies or generalizations, if one dug deep enough into the saiyan race. They had this front of being the perfect soldiers, and they were, but they also had a gentle side that very few knew about. It just proved to Gohan what he already knew. Combat may be a large part of the saiyan race, and other races, but it cannot be everything. A life of pure combat is not a life at all, it's one of the worst forms of torture one could experience; a slow yet inevitable destruction of ones mind, body and soul.

Suddenly the smile left his face as the events that took place earlier that day came back. He came here to hopefully forget about them for a few hours. Here we was thinking that he might finally be able to live the rest of his life in peace and quiet, well as peace and quiet as one could when living with a race of boisterous warriors, and Kibitoshin comes along and ruins it all. Killing Cold and Frieza's would have been a walk in the park compared to what he was going to have to do now apparently. The supreme kai hadn't been able to tell them everything, only to enjoy this last day of peace because come the morrow they would be neck deep once more in trouble. He had revealed a few additional pieces of information as well.

That he would be leaving this universe for the next.

That he was required to fix not one, not two, but four damned universes before he was finally able to relax.

That each universe held creatures infinitely more powerful than the previous one.

And the worst thing of all, Karreth was coming along.

That wasn't to say he disliked having her around, it was more that she made it difficult to do anything at times. She knew well enough to leave him alone when he was in the middle of something important but that wasn't much comfort as she took advantage of the rest of the time to try and trip him into her bed. Gohan let out a long drawn out sigh. He was not looking forward to this at all. Sure, he didn't mind helping out, but wasn't this asking for just a little bit much? From savior of a planet, to that of the universe, and now the entire multi-verse? He must have pissed someone off quite badly in his previous life to be thrust into this kind of life.

They could at least pay him. You know, a little cash here, a nice place to live there, a wife and children in a couple years, you know, something, anything. Gohan grumbled to himself. This was going to pass once he got up and started. It was just annoying to think that he may finally have attained the peace he'd always dreamt and then have it snatched away no more than a week later. At least he was going to be given targets to unleash his anger and annoyance at. That was something at least; multiple targets by the sound of it. He sure hoped they put up more of a fight than the Aeesu-jins because he was really getting annoyed at having everything he hits explode into a shower of giblets. It wasn't that he disliked the sight; not really, it was more the staining and ruining of his clothes that was pissing him off. Tears and slashes could be repaired; blood stains could never be removed.

Gohan closed his eyes and relaxed. For tonight he would sleep out here, remembrance of the days when he had trained with Piccolo. They were harsh days, but peaceful at the same time. No worries greater than the need to live. Perhaps he would have felt a little better if Kibitoshin had been able to give him a little more information. But all that was really revealed to him, aside from what he had already gone over, was that Trunks and Bardock also were both traveling with him.

With a yawn Gohan's mind slowly began to clear as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Elsewhere…

"You failed us; you were supposed to kill Gohan!" The creature hissed to the one cowering at her feet.

"I'm sssorry." The second one hissed in fear. Failure was never taken very well in the organization.

The first one snarled and kicked the draconic creature in the face.

"Sorry won't get the job done!" She snarled. "You know full well what happens when one of us fail in our duties."

"There wasss no way anyone could have realizzzed how powerful he could grow." The draconic creature hissed out, hoping for at least a smidgen of mercy.

The female bent down and easily lifted the other up by the neck, despite the creature being a full ten times her weight. "I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses! If you had gone yourself then he would have died, but you decided to manipulate those that were not yours to manipulate!" She snapped.

"Cold was MINE! And now he is dead! Another couple of years and I could have used him to eradicate both the Saiya-jins and the Aeesu-jins!" Her eyes began to darken until it seemed as if they absorbed the light from around them. "Now, because of your pathetic failure, Gohan has gotten too powerful for either of us to handle, and has allies that he should not have. He has become a true threat. Neither the master, nor his superior, will like that very much."

"Pleassse, d-don't hurt me… I-I'll make it up, I-I'll kill him! I-have-plansss, h-he'll be in my verssse sssoon." The creature gasped out, his breathing becoming labored due to lack of nitrogen.

The female glared at him, "You had better do it right this time snake!" She snarled. A shockwave rippled through the room as a half ton draconic figure flew through the air at several times the speed of sound before it slammed into the far wall without causing a single scratch or dent. "If you don't, you'll have more to worry about than me! You wouldn't want a trip to the Golgothian now would you?" She said that last part sweetly, sickeningly sweet. With that she stormed from the room, her black eyes starkly contrasting the almost ghost like complexion of her skin. She almost looked as fragile as a porcelain doll, and that had given her the edge in more than one situation.

And behind, in the room, a blue scaled dragon like creature began to sweat bullets. His kind was almost considered a delicacy by that creature. And he had about as much a chance of defending against it as a baby elf did against an elder wyrm.

The next day…

Gohan's nice, pleasant dream about raising a family in a peaceful place filled with trees and passive wildlife was brought to an abrupt end as freezing cold water was dumped on his face. Gohan sat up spluttering and more than just a little disoriented as he tried to figure out just where exactly he was and what had happened. After a few moments he was able to right his senses to notice that he was still where he was last night, beside the lake where he had fallen asleep. What also drew his attention was laughter.

He turned and stared, there stood the supreme kai and Karreth laughing uproariously while Bardock and Trunks both had huge grins on their faces and two hoses in their hands. "Ha, ha, very funny." Gohan grumbled as he stood up.

"Oh it was." Karreth said during a pause in her laughing.

Gohan glared at them, "Are we done yet or should I give you guys a couple hours to settle down?" Gohan inquired, more than a little irritated. He was having such a nice dream.

"I'm just here to see you off Gohan." Kibitoshin said with a smile, "Once you leave this universe I won't be able to reach you. A supreme kai lacks the ability to transcend the universe we are tasked with protecting. We can communicate with the others, but are essentially tied to our own more tightly than those we watch over. I'm not sure what the other supreme kais are like, or if they even exist in all four universes, but I've been talking with a couple from the next. I haven't been having much luck so don't count on their aid until they appear before you and give it. You've done so much for this universe that I owe you all I have done and more. You won't have the same credit rating with them that you do with me."

Gohan nodded, "So basically we're on our own from here on out."

"I wouldn't put it like that." The supreme kai replied. "I'm sure someone or something will help you at some point in time. Don't rely on just yourselves. One thing I know for certain, your group is not yet complete. There are still others that must join you." Noticing the frown on Gohan's face he went on.

"You'll know who they are once you see them. It'll be almost impossible for you not to."

Gohan nodded and turned to Karreth, "Are you sure about coming along?" Gohan asked.

Karreth nodded, "I left Vegeta in charge. There are some things in life more important than the throne, and I'll lose out on them if I stay behind." She replied.

Gohan sighed, "And you can't find them here?" Gohan asked, "It's a very big universe, I doubt even a fraction of it has been thoroughly explored." Gohan was seriously hoping she would reconsider. Having her around him would only lead to distractions.

She smiled and nodded, "I haven't given up on you Gohan. I'll prove myself to you, and then you will accept me. Until such time, I'm unwilling to let you out of my sight for any length of time." She replied sweetly, "I don't want any other females to come around and lay claim to you."

Gohan sighed; he suddenly had a very bad feeling about this. The thought of multiple females pulling him in multiple directions, and all of them wielding frying pans, suddenly came to mind. "Alright, fine, Kibitoshin… just how exactly are we supposed to get to where we are going?" Gohan asked, changing the subject, "I mean it's not like we can just walk there."

"Are we going to use a machine?" Trunks asked, "I may be able to make one. I helped my mom build the time machine. With Gohan's help and saiyan technology I may be able to make a machine that can go between universes as opposed to times."

Bardock shook his head, "That won't work. Or rather he won't let it." Bardock intruded.

Gohan raised an eyebrow at this, "I take it something happened."

Bardock nodded, "I had a… err… visit I suppose. The supreme kai was there to confirm it and to reassure me I wasn't going insane. It… explains the holes in my memory at least." Bardock said, trying to make himself feel better. "The universe we're going to will have a technological level equal to that of the medieval era on and he doesn't wish to disturb that by introducing machines or anything similar. The saiyan battle armor and the special alloy used in Trunks' sword is the extreme limit he is willing to push this." He explained.

Trunks slipped his hands into the pockets of his pants, "Then how exactly are we getting there?" He asked. "The same way I got here?" Gohan inquired.

Bardock nodded, "Yes, he will take over for a while and create the portal to take us to our next destination."

"Not without me you aren't." A voice said.

The five of them turned to see Vegeta stomping towards them closely followed by the councilors and advisors. "Vegeta, you know that we both can't go." Karreth said as she looked down at her little brother as he stopped just short of her. "One of us needs to stay here and mind the empire while the other is gone."

"Hmph." Vegeta grumped, "I don't think so. You're not going to go anywhere without me. You think I'd let you go and face powerful creatures and almost certain death without me while I am forced to sit here and endure hours after hours of endless lines of paper stamping?" Vegeta demanded.

"Someone needs to stay Vegeta, and you are the weakest among us all." Gohan said, "And it'll also give you a taste of what it's like to rule making it easier to take the throne in the future." Gohan said, trying to placate him.

Vegeta glared at him and pointed a finger, "I have a number of years before I am even capable of taking the throne! If from what I heard is correct and this won't take more than a year or two it'll still give me plenty of time to learn. Not that it's really all that hard to stamp papers!" Vegeta retorted.

"And just who did you choose to rule for us while we are gone Vegeta?" Karreth demanded, "No one can sit on the throne but us, and I can't believe that you would elevate someone to regent. We may come back with the empire taken from us."

Vegeta smirked at his sister, "The councilors and advisors can take care of the paper work for us." Vegeta said as he reached into his battle armor and pulled out a ring, "And without the royal rings you and I possess, anything they do can be rescinded the moment we return. They also have incentive to actually help us. I promised a substantial raise in their wages should everything be in order and running smoothly when we return. And I threatened them with bodily harm if it wasn't." Vegeta added.

Karreth just shook her head sadly before she kneeled down and patted Vegeta on the head, earning a vicious glare, "You may grow up to be a good King after all. If we can ever get rid of this 'I'm superior to you so get down and lick my boots' attitude. We are superior, but to rub it in someone's face is just asking for them to rebel. We can't run our empire alone. If we piss the people who make the little decisions off we may find ourselves doing everything for ourselves." She said.

Vegeta glared at her, "You've grown soft sister." He growled, "Next you'll be telling me that threatening our advisors and councilors was a bad move."

Karreth stood up and grinned down at him before smirking at said people, "Oh, not really because if you don't do it, I'll do it myself. I said don't rub it into the faces of the little people, but of those near our level… I completely agree with that. There are countless people who are willing, and capable, of replacing them. They're expendable, and they know it." Karreth replied with an evil glint in her eyes.

Vegeta barked a laugh, "Perhaps you haven't grown completely soft." Vegeta said, coming as close to an apology as he ever does.

By this time the councilors and advisors were becoming increasingly nervous. Their health was linked directly with that of their empire. The worse their empire became, the more likely their lives would come to a long, agonizing end. For the first time they were beginning to question their choice of occupation. Theirs just became more hazardous then that of front line soldiers.

"If you saiyans are done talking, I would like to begin." Bardock said with his face completely devoid of emotion.

"Go ahead err… Bardock." Gohan said. He didn't really know what to call him. Everything that had to be sorted out was.

As Bardock turned his back to them Trunks threw a small knapsack towards him. As Gohan caught it he gave Trunks a quizzical look as he slipped a strap over one shoulder. It was then that he noticed similar bags hanging from the backs of the other four, even Vegeta.

"Your clothes and a couple other necessities." Trunks explained as a large portal sprung up before Bardock. "We couldn't bring much as the majority of what we use are too advanced for where we are going." He finished as he moved over to stand just slightly behind Bardock.

Gohan nodded and went to stand beside him. "The portal will stay open for as long as I'm on this side, so I'll be the last one through." Bardock explained in a monotone voice.

No one spoke as they walked through the portal. They were saiyans, they feared nothing, except the frying pan but Trunks and Gohan weren't about to actually say that. Nothing needed to be said. Slowly, one by one, they stepped into the portal and disappeared. The portal itself looked much like a rift in space and time. To Gohan it looked much like what his father had said about the sky when Majin Buu went crazy when Vegeta and Goku had fused. Except this time it didn't jeopardize the stability of the entire universe, nor was it as ragged. It was just a large circular hole in the fabric of reality that had a really odd bluish color to it. Or maybe it was black, or purple. Gohan couldn't quite place any one color to it. It certainly wasn't any of the light colors, yet at the same time, it was. Bardock, like he said, was the last to go through and as he did it slowly closed behind him. One reason he wanted to be last, was to make sure nothing came through from the other side. And that included objects that the saiyans couldn't see, objects and creatures that didn't existed in the standard three dimensions of height, width and depth.

As the portal completely closed the supreme kai turned to the councilors and advisors. "You know, even if Karreth and Vegeta aren't here. I still am. I'll drop by from time to time to make sure you aren't doing anything they would disapprove of.. Because you can rest assure, if I see something out of place, I'll let them know, and if anything you do affects the universe as the whole and I don't agree with it, I'll step in and stop it myself." Kibitoshin said with a smile and disappeared leaving a half dozen terrified saiyans.

In the new universe…

"Well, this is certainly different from where we just were." Gohan said with a smile on his face, "Reminds me of home in a certain fashion, except there weren't very many half mile high trees."

And Gohan wasn't exaggerating. They were in a small clearing in a forest with absolutely monstrous trees. And that was saying it mildly. The smallest tree was over a kilometer high with a width of nearly fifty feet. The huge trunks of the trees blocked virtually all sunlight, yet despite that the ground was covered in a lush carpet of ankle high grass. The branches of the trees were enormous, almost looking as if they were trees in and of themselves and that the massive trunk that touched the ground was merely the base for them.

The others were gawking much more though. They hadn't much chance to see a true forest, there was only one on planet Vegeta and whenever they visited another planet it generally wasn't for a social call. Only Bardock seemed phlegmatic of his surroundings, but that changed as soon as the spirit inhabiting his body left. Only Trunks seemed as calm and collected as he, but he was still staring in wonder at their surroundings.

"This defies all logic." Gohan said as tried to sort through what was going on. "Trees cannot grow to be that tall, the oxygen levels at that height are too limited for them. But even more, the water supply and ground nutrients should also limit their growth before they became this tall. It would take the perfect setting with a constant inflow of sufficient nutrients, water oxygen and sunlight for this to be possible."

"Yes, and what's more, if you check the ground it's more fertile than anything we can produce." Trunks said in wonder as he pawed through the dirt. "I'm not a soil expert but you don't need to be to know this. With trees this large the soil should be heavily leeched, but it's as if fresh fertilizer was just placed here moments ago. And this grass, the bushes, all this undergrowth. There's no sunlight! How can they even possibly grow?" Trunks said, wonder evident in his speech.

Suddenly Gohan's eyes widened. "Trunks, everyone, stretch out your senses, you're not going to believe this." He said, his voice coming out hoarsely.

The others, surprised by this, did what they were told and soon their eyes widened as well. The trees, they had more life force than the average saiyan.

"What the hell is this place?" Vegeta bellowed in shock, "How can trees be stronger than my people?!"

"Vegeta… if the vegetation is this powerful, can you imagine the people?" Gohan inquired.

This made the gears in their heads start churning. "I don't think we should become separated. I am fairly certain that Trunks and I can take on anything, but you three may be vulnerable if caught alone." Gohan said.

They could only nod in agreement. Coming to a planet and finding that the trees had a power level of nearly 12,000 was shocking to say the least.

"I think we should just ignore this for now and try to figure out exactly where we are, or what we're supposed to do. All we know is that we're on a different planet, in a different universe and that we're supposed to fix something in this universe like we did in the last. It would have been nice if the person inhabiting within Bardock had let us in on what it was that we exactly fixed. Genocide isn't really what I would consider a 'fix' to a problem." Gohan said rather sourly as he glanced at Bardock but he merely shrugged, he hadn't been told anything either.

"Perhaps we should head in that direction." Trunks said, pointing into the forest. It was virtually impossible to tell which direction it was without a sun visible. Who knows, this planet may not even be spherical and therefore not have a north, south, east and west direction.

Gohan nodded as he stretched his senses out. The levels he felt were staggering. Most just slightly weaker than Bardock in his normal form with the weakest just slightly below Vegeta, but there were a few large ones that surpassed him even while in super saiyan. Nothing he or Trunks couldn't handle, but trouble should a large number of them attack at once. The closest group of large powers was in the direction Trunks had pointed, hence the reason for him indicating that way.

"Let's go." Gohan said as he began to run through the forest.

There was no point in flying in and startling the neighborhood. The others fell in beside him but, aside from Trunks, were confused as to why he wasn't flying but decided to trust him nevertheless. They didn't speak as they ran, anxious to see what they were up against. Vegeta was rather upset. He could sense the power levels as clearly as everyone else, and it grated him to know that despite all the power he now possessed he was still no match for many of the inhabitants of this world, and who knows what else lay out there within the universe. What other super beings existed.

A couple minutes later they slowed and finally stopped. Gohan was frowning. The powers they were feeling, they were right there yet they couldn't see anything different. The huge forest just kept on stretching on seemingly endlessly in all directions.

"They should be here…" Gohan said.

"They are." Bardock said as he looked up, "Look up." And everyone looked up.

There, high above them in the trees was a massive city. Tiers upon tiers could be seen with houses, shops and other various buildings scattered on each level. The buildings were either constructed around the trees, or directly in them. It looked very much like a city Gohan had read in the fantasy stories back home. Stories about cities in the clouds, the trees, underground, all over the place in unique locations that stirred the imagination and conjured up majestic pictures. And here, right above him, were one of those fairy tale cities. A city he believed he would never actually see, merely envision and dream.

"Well that's certainly a novel idea." Trunks mused, "It keeps them away from any predators on the ground plus it brings them closer to the light. They're also able to place a lot more in a small area then we ever could. Instead of just one level with huge buildings, they have multiple, eight, nine, perhaps a dozen different levels. A great architectural design. And with trees of this size, I doubt even an earthquake could shake them, especially with the amount of life energy we feel within them." Trunks said.

"It's quite picturesque." Karreth said with her eyes wide with wonder. She may be a saiyan, but she was still female.

"We're glad you're admiring the view, but would you mind telling us who you are?" A gruff, yet musical, voice said. "If you do not, we will be forced to kill every last one of you."

That tore their attention away from the city in a hurry. Surrounding them were nearly a hundred soldiers. Or that's the appearance they gave clad in chain mail and brandishing swords and spears that literally glowed and hummed with a strange energy. Most of them were tall, easily matching the saiyans for height, and all were dressed for war. Their hair and eye color were gold, green and blue framing golden skin, the color of skin that must girls dream about, and would kill for. There were also several other figures that were definitely not warriors but had the same hard expression on their faces. These people were robed however and held a distinct air about them that seemed unnatural, yet at the same time, too natural. Their eyes and hands glowed much like the weapons the warriors wielded. Their most prominent feature though, that immediately caught Trunks' and Gohan's attention, were their ears; ears that were long and pointed.

What caught their attention the most though, were their power levels. If they got into a fight, only Gohan and Trunks would live to tell about it. Despite their primitive looks and weapons, they were definitely powerful, powerful enough to challenge the might of a super saiyan, and they did not look pleased at their intrusion.

To be continued…

A/N: Hehe, DONE! LOL! Hope you enjoy it. They're in a rather sticky situation now. Of course, knowing me, they'll of course survive… but how well… that's an entirely different matter. Everyone that's followed my stories knows I have a tendency to enjoy torturing and mauling my main characters.

A/N: Not as long, but done much more quickly. And once again, I appreciate the reviews. Makes me glad to know that people actually read this story.

A/N: If you're not able to figure out just what race I described there… I really should smack you. They're the most popular and well known race outside that of humans and even exist within our legends.

A/N: From this point on I get nervous. The DBZ universe is gone until near the end and will only be mentioned in conversations from time to tim until the very end. I hope peope don't mind because I have a feeling each universe will take as long, if not longer, to write about as the fourth one did.

l-l

Well… I've decided. I'll give the power levels of everyone up to this point. I think I'll do it at the end of each universe. Well, once at the end of this one, the next and the third and then again at the very end of the story. There are some who may be interested, and I just like posting them hehe. Anyways, these are their power levels and ages at the very moment they step into the portal earlier in this chapter. (I'm using the same calculations that I used for the transformations in my previous story) Also… I made a mistake in my earlier chapter. I compared the others power levels to Cold… forget that. I didn't. That would have made them too strong for my purposes. They're actually about half as strong as I said.

Mystic Gohan – 659,250,000 .................. (Age – 18)
Normal Trunks – 25,400,000 .................. (Age – 19)
