The fight for the future

I don't own DBZ or its characters

A/N- This is the next mirai time part, actually the rest of the story is in this time period

Shin shock himself as he smiled, thinking about the age of peace that was going to take place on this earth. As he smiled at his friends he wonder what they were going to wish for next. From what he remember from Dende, the new dragon was going to grant two wishes not one. He was sure that the first wish had been to wish back everyone that had been killed by Cell. Now he glanced over a nervous looking Krillin who looked like already knew what this second wish should be. He also noticed that everyone else was talking about ideas, without noticing Krillin's nervous dancing around.

"Guy," Shin said in a loud tone in order to get the attention of the others, "I think Krillin has an idea for the second wish."

"Oh don't worry Shin, it is not that important, the guys are just thinking of a way to help you when you get back," Krillin said looking back at Shin with a weak smile.

"Yeah, buddy, we were sure we could think of a way to give your world a better shot of recovering once you crush those androids," Gohan said with a large smile turning to his friend.

"Yeah thanks, but I am sure we can handle it, I have a feeling this wish of Krillin's is important to him."

Krillin gave a small smile at the statement of his other, "I want to wish that 17, and 18 were turned back to human."

"Why, they are human cybrogs right now, they are twins from what my information tells me," 16 said in a robotically fashion.

"Wow, interesting, well then never mind," Krillins said moving back quietly.

"Well I guess if you wish to help, I could you a large bag of senzu beans," Shin said hearing that Krillin didn't need his wish anymore.

"Well sounds good to me, alright, Shenron, We wish we had a large bag of senzu beans," Goku said loudly toward the dragon.

"Your wish as been granted," Shenron replied before disappearing.

"Well I think it is about time for me to be getting home too, I have to say this has been an adventure that has showed me a lot about my friends, and myself. I know now that we can beat these androids, thank you, I am very happy to have been able to spend this time with you," Shin said throwing his time machine capsule.

"Well, Shin, you may not be the same as this Krillin, but I still feel as we have been friends forever," Goku said hugging him.

"Yeah, man, you sure helped us a lot in that mess," Yamcha said with a smile.

"Well tell this other Goku hello for me," Gohan added with a huge.

"It has been a honor to fight with you," 16 said from one side.

"Well, your not bad, for a human," Piccolo added from behind everyone.

Shin got ready to leave, and then he smiled at his other self, "Well Krillin, you should go find that android of yours and tell her how you feel, I just wish our androids would have been more like yours."

"Um..thanks, Shin, you showed me, a lot of things about myself, and I think I will be much better for them, thanks," Krillin replied waving.

Shin got up into his machine, and set it just like how Bulma had told him to, what seemed like ages before, but what was in fact still years in the future.

(Now back in Mirai Time)

In what was the makeshift waiting room, of capsule corps; Gohan, Yamcha, and Bulma now were waiting full of excitement, and anticipation over what would be one of the more important moments in the last handful of years. They had just seen Krillin leave a few moments ago, but the moments of waiting for him to return took forever. Yamcha was resting against one of the couches with his arms crossed in front of him, his mind going over the possibilities of the adventure that Krillin was having in the past. Bulma was in the control room wondering if anyone would ever know the greatness of her genius and if she would ever get to see her great machine again as well. Trunks sat in a chair not really playing much attention to anything. Then Gohan was in deep thought wonder what effect the trip to the past would have on Krillin, and if he would learn way he had not been able to turn into a super saiyan yet, and he would know if he was strong enough to go super saiyan. Overall each was worried to different degrees, and ways about if Krillin would make it back at all from the adventure.

Suddenly a blue flash of light, and the machine was there. It looked just as new as when it had been used first. Gohan, and the others watched with great interest as the opened. Then Krillin got out of the machine, and jimped down to the floor below the machine.

Gohan just starred at his old friend, and teacher, he looked different now then he did a few seconds ago, of course it had been more then been a few seconds, but still he could tell that Krillin had spent 3 years in the other time line, he looked a bit older. He did seem the weaker for it at all thought. In fact, Gohan could fell that Krillin's power was far beyond that when he left, and he wondered what this great adventure had been like to change this person so much. Yamcha could also see these things in Krillin as well. Even Trunks, and Bulma could tell there was a difference in Krillin.

"Guy, it is so good to see you," Krillin said with a warm smile spread across his face.

"Yeah, Krillin, it only been a half of a hour," Bulma said with a smile.

"So what were they like, I mean what were we like," Yamcha asked with a smile.

Suddenly Trunks turned to hear anything about the father he had never known, and Gohan also turned interested in hearing about his now long dead father.

"Well I have along story then to tell you, and well I was given some things to give to you when I was able to spend time with certain others," Krillin replied with a smile looking at Trunks.

"Well Krillin, do you think we can beat the androids now," Gohan asked hopping for a positive answer.

"Yeah, we can win, but we also have to beat someone called Cell too, but I am sure we can do it, I think we need to go at them tomorrow, I had just been wished back when I left," Krillin said, at the last part everyone was a little stunned, "Well I will tell you all about it over dinner, I think you will all like the story."
