We experience many time jumps in these and the next chapters. In general I stick to The Series
Chapter Text
Chapter 11
But I didn't blow myself up, I felt different, but didn't realize what happened at first? Since I feel stronger, as ever. I looked around and froze, the new energy. Shocked, I looked at my hands.
This power. I run into the spaceship and stop in front of the mirror and look inside, a blond man is looking back at me. I am shocked by the sight.
Am I really, has risen to the Super Saiyajin. I gathered my thoughts and the inner Saiyajin just roars Find your mate!
I nodded to myself and go to the control panel. Enters the coordinates, the computer calculates the route and gives the arrival time May 12. Fuck, I hope I'm not too late and hit the start button.
The trip back was long, but I used the time to train. I did reach my goal, but that is not my final goal. I still have to get stronger. Especially since Kakarott and the boy from the future have been Super Saiyajin for a while. And there are still those androids, I have to defeat them! To protect my future companion. Only then can I talk to Piccolo and fight with Gohan for Piccolo, and in the end hope that Piccolo will forgive me.
When the beep comes from the spaceship that the Earth will soon be reached, I do get a little nervous that I'm too late. But it seemed quiet on the planet.
The spaceship landed in the garden of Capsule Corp. No sooner was the ramp down than Panchy greeted him. Yes, she seemed sincere in missing me. She said to me, I can go take a shower and she'll fix me something to eat.
And yes, I must admit, I missed the food from Earth. While I was in the shower. I heard a baby cry. I sighed, I had actually forgotten that again, or rather repressed it.
I was just leaving the room and want towards the kitchen when I bump into the blue haired woman.
"Oh Vegeta. Mom just said you arrived. It's good to have you back. I knew you wouldn't leave us alone."
I roll my eyes and just growl. "Don't flatter yourself, woman. I didn't come for you, I came for the android. Once these tin cans are defeated. I'll be off this mud ball again. I'll keep my word that I'll defeat the androids and then Kakarott."
Pleased to hear a baby cry again, she snorts but leaves.
I'm off to dinner. It's not likely to be long before the androids arrive, if the boy is indeed right.
The story follows the series. I won't write all the fight scenes. We'll make a few jumps now to important moments or even flashbacks in the next chapters ahead.
And the future Trunks should be right. Well. What can I say? The reunion with all the other Earthlings, since the last party special was. With Bulma showing up with the baby. Especially when it came out that not the weakling, was the father, but I looked at Piccolo. Piccolo just looks at the floor.
He ignores me and doesn't make a face. Piccolo didn't even seem interested. But yeah, maybe he really doesn't care at all. But how Piccolo does it is a mystery to me?
Maybe it's because. That Piccolo smells like Gohan. OH Soli, how I hate the smell of Piccolo.
As long as I didn't have Piccolo, I didn't mind it much. Since I am Saiyajin. I accepted it. Gohan picked Piccolo first as a potential companion.
But now, after having Piccolo. It breaks my mind. I'm going crazy inside. Why did I come here? It breaks me to see him and yet not be able to be near him. I sigh and hope that the androids will come soon.
*We are into the scene when Mirai Trunks rejoins the group.
The moment Piccolo said Trunks name.
I felt frozen to ice, so Piccolo actually knew. I look at him, in front of everyone I ask him to talk. But Piccolo just shakes his head. Says that there are more important things now.
And he flies away.
I realize that he, like me, doesn't want to be here. I have to let him go.
But my heart cries out for him, but he doesn't hear me. I can't get through to him because he still shuts me out.
*There follows another time jump*
Cell actually gave us 10 days.
After Piccolo fusion with the kami. Earth stands without Dragon Ball. But a small Namekian is on it to make new Dragon Ball. I have only overheard on the sidelines. Although there were first problems that this statue can no longer be used. Since Dente from none of the Kata Namekianer has come. But for Dente it was no problem. Since he can create a new statue himself.
Meanwhile, I have to agree with the suggestion to train with Mirai Trunks in space and time. The last thing I wanted. But I had no choice. In fact after months in the chamberwe have become accustomed to our daily routine. And every now and then had short conversations with each other.
One day after a hard day of training Mirai Trunks became curious. And asked me "Father, how did you become Super Saiyajin?" I growled at him and said "it's none of his business. Especially since you boy himself didn't tell me how he made it up the ladder either."
I then ask him "besides, how old were you boy, how the hell did you make the ascension?"
Mirai Trunks looked to the ground at my question. I noticed tears welling up in his eyes, he audibly gulped air.
And then he told me how he ascended. "Gohan died and saved my mother and me, father. And in anger and because I was so powerless, hopeless. Did I transform, but unfortunately too late for Gohan."
I swallow and even want to comfort him. But I stop. I look into the vastness of space and spoke.
"Trunks, he died, with honor, like a true Saiyan wants to die, in battle. Believe me, he had a more dignified death than Kakarott. The latter had to die miserably of heart failure. Gohan protected you and in the end made sure that you and your mother continued to survive . And well, I'm grateful to your Gohan for saving you, Trunks. And in doing so, you also saved our timeline. Because we're still alive."
He looks at me with his blue eyes so emotional that I actually want to take him in my arms. But I can't bring myself to do it. Because the words were hard for me to say. Even though Mirai Gohan saved my son in the future. Has the current Gohan taken him here too much. Gohan has without ever knowing about Piccolo and me. Took Piccolo from him.
But I wanted to know more from Trunks. "Meanwhile yes the period around. Trunks how did I die? Now you can tell."
He swallows and explains. " Father, since Mom and I were not around, butall the other Z fighters and Gohan. I know it only from Gohan. Gohan told me what had happened. When the androids appeared. And all the Z fighters arrived. Since the auras of many people died. Piccolo looked finished that day. Gohan wanted Piccolo to be safe. The two argued until Vegeta intervened. Piccolo calmed Vegeta but according to Gohan quickly.
Since it was Piccolo's last words, Gohan remembers years later. Makaa. Calm down, everything will be fine, they are safe ...
Trunks continues to tell, but unnoticed by Trunks I freeze at the narration. In my head only the word Makaa stuck? I shook my head and try to continue to focus on Trunks narration.
... Then Gohan heard, sudden screams. Piccolo would be fatally attacked from a building outside. Everyone was surprised. Since no one felt anything.
No sooner did it hit Piccolo, more AI beams were fired.
Within seconds and minutes. Were all dead except Gohan, father. Gohan was ordered to take me and Bulma to safety."
When Trunks was done telling the story, he sees my still shocked face. He tries to calm me down. "Father, I made sure your timeline changed."
I nod. Turning away from him, I speak as I do so.
"Very well. Then let's make sure these changes have paid off for Earth."
I turn into the bathroom. I don't have the strength to work out with the latest findings. Lock the bathroom behind me and shower. Only in the shower, under the jet of water, I let go of my emotions and begin to cry.
Because of the stories I realized. What was taken from me. Makaa is the word for companion. In Mirai Trunks timeline, he and Piccolo were obviously Makaa. And what Trunks probably didn't know. Mirai Vegeta died not to the androids themselves, but because his Makaa died.
Soli, I feel so betrayed and unfairly treated. Only when surely no more tears came. I put out the water. Powerless, I just dragged myself to bed. And fell miserably, into the sleep.
Mirai certainly noticed the uncharacteristic behavior of me. However, he left me in peace. By the common months in the time chamber, Mirai knew well, if he of me, distance would have to hold. He asked himself certainly though. Why it took me so with? Found however probably not the courage me ask. For the time being I was thus had peace.
The next months of training were hard, but it paid off. We didn't often talk about the other timeline. I thought about them often, though. What could have been?
Eventually, more and more connections began to come to me in my thoughts. The line about Piccolo and his Makaa especially stuck with me, and maybe Mirai Vegeta had risen to Super Saiyajin after all, since Mirai Vegeta was paired with Piccolo.
His father also visited me in dreams during the space and time chamber. Says to me that my children are strong, butI should take them to safety. Since they are not strong enough yet.
Just before we both leave the room. Actually came up Gohan again, Mirai, Gohan was the hero of Mirai, I quickly realized in runner of the year. So Trunks told us that Gohan had learned everything from his master Piccolo, and unfortunately the last few years he didn't have much in common with Piccolo. Only when his father fell ill with the heart virus and died in the end also dran. Came all to them home. Piccolo was one of the first and was there for Gohan.
Bulma arrived surprisingly for all , with baby bump at the house of Gohan. The Z fighters wanted to congratulate her and Yamchu. But Yamchu fights back angrily that he is not the father.
Bulma just said. Now was not the place. It would be about Goku.
Even Vegeta shows up. He was pretty rattled. Looked beat up. Piccolo said even Vegeta should rest. It hadn't been that long after all.
Vegeta growled, frustrated and just said look at yourself Piccolo. And besides, he must pay his last Saiyan respects to Kakarott. That was his duty, he said.
Bulma interferes. And says Goku was more human than Saiyan.
Vegeta growls at her, saying she'd never understand. He's glad he moved out of the asylum, he says. And she just looks fat by now.
Bulma growled and just said she's not fat, she's pregnant.
That explains your changed ki. Woman then has yes Kakarott, itself again in the zeug to lay her flat. That is impossible a human Ki.
Yamchu freezes. Frowns. And stares at Vegeta. Then Yamchu screamed.
You dare to spread lies here! Bastard you do not even stand by your actions ...
But Mirai Vegeta apparently did not care relatively. What are you babbling about, human? What do I have to do with this?
Bulma is getting quieter and quieter. Yamchu please not here. Mirai Vegeta look at Bulma. What is he talking woman? Vegeta. You and I drank a lot, that was the night before you left for your training trip.
The two of us? Please I would remember that.
You came to the party already knocked out and nauseous. Meant, still what of Piccolo, Kami and Popo nevertheless not to come can and you were completely exhausted over something.
All looked shocked.
Vegeta just says something about not remembering and now going to Kakarott. Yamchu can't let it go. And presses on.
Bulma. You told that it was not a one-time thing. But it did not mean him. Was it worth it?
TZ, Yamchu keep your mouth shut. Vegeta once told me that he is there for his mate and child. So it's none of your business.
When Trunks is done with his story. He looks at me and says.
"Thanks dad, that you stayed. Mama has indeed meant. You have not been interested in her and me. But here I realize mom was wrong. Thank you for this time here, Papa."
I just nod at him. As I was still at a loss for words. I couldn't get his stories out of my head. So many questions. So many disagreements and so many new discoveries.
But the time also brought me closer to my future son. The initial hatred for him disappeared. That I realized, my son is a victim like me in my childhood.
We were both left with no other choice. Serene. Others decided for us that we must grow up in a destroyed world.
The difference was only that I had to kill others to survive in the galaxy out there. However, my son has been spared from this fate so far.
I don't need to tell you that I was relieved when the year was behind us. But, though in the end I came out not only stronger, but now determined with a plan.
But first Cell will be destroyed.
