The fight for the future

I don't own DBZ or its characters

A/N- Well I have to say I know this update is a bit short, and only about a couple of character, I promise starting in the next chapter that it will be focused back on more characters, and Gohan will be a larger character

Daiokken- Thanks for the review, I have to say I don't know, though I really like this story, and getting review does motivate one to write.

Marbus- That is a very good question, well the answer is this, this Krillin is a lot stronger then the other Krillin, and also has changed a lot do to the treats on his life thus his ki signature changed a bit too.

Digi Fan- This chapter is about the person who does

Queen Luana- No, you're a pretty good at writing, you early stories are way better then mine

Dfd- well that I can answer, he is staying to help fight against the androids, then after that he will go home. If you have any other questions just ask.

Krillin looked around at what he had come to call his home. It was a pretty normal capsule home, that was not overly large, but had enough room form him. It was the basic white, with all the basic colors that the capsule corps building come in. This one was one of the few left that they had in the underground capsule corps area that he had lived in before his time travel. The house it self was located in a small cave, in the same northern mountains where Roshi, Chaotzu, Tien, and Piccolo had died in during his time. He had been sensing the fighters and there movements for the last 1 and ½ years, and he could tell what was going on pretty well.

He had sense that Gohan, Goku, and Piccolo were all trying with each other over the time period. He was quite amazed at the amount of power that Gohan had gained from trying with Goku, and Piccolo, but it was not as amazing when he though about his Gohan and how he had done pretty much the same thing training with himself and the others in his time zone. He also felt that Goku, and Piccolo were getting stronger as well, and he could tell they were even strong then they had been in his time. He felt Vegeta once in a while, and he could tell he was a lot strong about the same that he was in his time not long before he died. He also felt that Tien was working on his strength, but for some reason he was not even close to how strong as the Tien from his time period. Krillin, Chaiotzu and Yamcha were another story, it seemed they all had seemed to just give up on there training or at least not go very hard. Chaiotzu just gave up, more then likely cause he could no longer keep with Tien. He was sure that Yamcha's quitting had something to do more or less with Vegeta and Bulma. Those two did surprise him all that much. His other self quitting was the surprise, he wonder what had happened to his other that would of caused him to give up, and wondered what he could do to inspire to the young warrior to keep up his training.

Krillin got off his table, and walked out of his home, he was going to have a talk with Master Roshi to ask him what was going on with his other that would case him to give up. He jumped into the sky outside the cave and took flight flying at a decent speed. As he flew he wonder what was so different from himself and this Krillin. He had spent the last year and a half training in a gravity room similar to the one Bulma in his time had made to let him, and his friends train without being spotted by the Androids. The flight to the island was pretty short, he remember just were the island of the turtle hermit was.

He landed on the sandy island and walked up to the door and knocked. He smiled when he saw the person to open the door was Roshi.

"Well young man what can I do for you, I don't get many visitors around here," Roshi said looking perfectly calm.

"Well um I wanted to talk to you about Krillin," Krillin asked Roshi.

"Well sure, come on in," Roshi held the door open for Krillin as he walked in. The two then walked to the table in the kitchen and sat down.

"So if you don't mind me asking, where is Krillin at this moment?"

"Well I think he is off to go visit with Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo. I am not sure when he will get back. So what is it you want to know about Krillin."

Krillin sighed thinking how to put his question about the other Krillin. "Well I have noticed that Krillin has slacked off in his training lately, I was wonder if you could tell me if you knew why that is happening. I really don't want to see him get hurt, and I think he can be a really good warrior."

Roshi gave him a small smile, making Krillin wish he could see his eyes. "Well my friend, that is a very good question, and I think I know the answer. It seems that our friend Krillin has lost his confidence in himself, not that was ever his strong point. He seems to doubt that he can do anything to help the others, and figures it is only a matter of time till it will get to the point when he will feel like he his just getting in the way," Roshi paused for a moment, "It surprises me more that you were able to gain so much confidence."

"Um what do you mean by that Roshi," Krillin asked looking very confused.

"You can deny it all you want, but I know that you are also Krillin."

Krillin almost jumped out of his seat in surprise, he had thought he had done a better job of hiding who he was. "So how and when did you figure it out?"

"Well to be honest I was pretty sure when I saw you, and totally sure when you started to talk, do you forget that you have been in this house for so long, now tell me why are you here."

Krillin sighed again, he knew he had to tell the truth and began to tell the long story of the events that had led to this moment where he was talking with Roshi. After he finished he looked at Roshi, and had a feeling that the old man understood.

"That makes more sense the that stuff that Krillin said you told everyone. Now I promise I won't tell anyone your secret, but I am sure it won't hurt to tell, I just have a feeling in the end it won't matter. About Krillin I will talk to him about entering the next world tournament, and I will talk to Yamcha as entering too. I am sure if it was known you were entering you could get the others to join as well, maybe even Vegeta."

Krillin laughed a bit, "Well I think you have a plan, thanks for your help."

"Well why don't you stay around, or are you took good to talk with you old master."

Krillin smiled, "Well I guess, I have a few story that you might find interesting."
