Mira flew up out the dust cloud, a plume being kicked up in his wake."You're starting to annoy me." Mira began. "This was supposed to be easy."
"Sorry to disappoint you." Gohan replied as he powered up, the fire-like aura of the Super Saiyan God form flaring around him as golden arcs of bio-electricty shot across his body.
Mira grit his teeth, getting ready to charge when a he was suddenly hit with a ki blast from behind, whirling around to find Trunks coming down right on top of him. The Android released a gasp and faded backwards, the tip of Trunks' sword skimming his chest, nearly splitting him open. With a roar Trunks rushed forward, throwing a barrage of punches and kicks. Mira tried to dodge them but Trunks was faster than he used to be.
"He's gone up to Super Saiyan 2." Mira growled.
"You didn't know I could do that, did you?" Trunks asked with a smirk before striking Mira across the jaw with a hook, teleporting over to him and kicking him down towards the ground before rushing forward and placing both hands on the Androids just, shoving him into the earth with all the force he could muster, the ground shattering as he struck it, an enormous cloud of dust blowing into the air.
"Wow, you really took care of him." Gohan said.
"I don't think he's done yet." Trunks answered.
"Astute observation." Mira replied as he appeared behind Trunks and placed both hands on his back.
"Trunks!" Gohan called, watching as his fellow half-Saiyan tensed as Mira fired twin ki blasts into his back, Trunks falling into his base form and plunging towards the ground.
Gohan made to pursue his friend when suddenly he was saved by someone else, someone Gohan didn't recognize...at first.
"Damn." Mira hissed.
"Friend of yours?" Gohan asked with a smirk.
"Don't mock me!" Mira shouted as he shot at Gohan, his punches and kicks barely missing as the half-Saiyan dodged and weaved around them before pushing up, his fist catching Mira on the chin, sending the Android skyward. Gohan teleported up to meet him, performing a flying sidekick, Mira blocking it and gripping Gohan by the leg, spinning around faster and faster before letting Gohan go, the half-Saiyan flying a short distance away before coming to a halt, eyes opening wide as a Mira released a kamehameha at him.
"Two can play at that game!" Gohan shouted as he released his own, the two waves of energy crashing together and drowning the vicinity in blue light as the beam struggle went on.
oOo
"Easy, don't try to get up." Daikon urged.
"You're...you're here." Trunks replied.
"Here, I've got something for you." Pulling out a Z Energy Capsule.
Trunks picked his head up as Daikon placed it in his mouth, the half-Saiyan swallowing it before picking himself up. "Thanks Daikon, I seriously owe you." Trunks said.
"Maybe it's best you let my Dad and I finish this one." Daikon suggested, looking up at the beam struggle between Gohan and Mira.
"Maybe you're right, Trunks said begrudgingly.
"You're Dad?" a voice called.
Trunks and Daikon whirled around, stunned expressions on their faces as they were met with a perplexed Kyuuri.
"I know this all must be very strange for you." Trunks said.
"Very strange for me?" the Saiyan woman growled. "I just gave birth and I'm instantly attacked by some blue-skinned guy with anger issues, then some guy who looks like Vegeta's son shows up and you!" she said, pointing at Daikon. "when you mentioned your father you looked at Gohan...you look like Gohan." she said, seemingly calming down.
"I'll just tell it like it is." Daikon began. "We're from the future, this is the Trunks you know and I am your son."
"That's about the long and short of it." Trunks added.
Both nearly fell backwards as Kyuuri exploded into a rage. "HOW COULD YOU BRING THAT MIRA GUY HERE AFTER I JUST GAVE BIRTH?! IF I WASN'T A SAIYAN WHO KNOWS WHAT SHAPE I'D BE IN!"
"Please...calm down...we're here to help." Trunks stammered.
"If I still had my tail I'd go Great Ape and smash both of you!" Kyuuri shouted.
"She's definitely my mother." Daikon said, leaning over to Trunks.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Kyuuri asked.
"Huh?" Daikon replied.
"Get up there and make me proud." the Saiyan woman said, encouraging her son with a smile.
Daikon returned the smile before flying up to meet Gohan.
"So, what's Vegeta like in the future?" Kyuuri asked.
"Basically the same, all angry and angsty." Trunks answered.
"Figures." Kyuuri replied.
"Speaking of my father, where are he and Goku?" Trunks asked.
"Training with Whis on Beerus' world, figures they'd be gone at a time like this." Kyuuri answered.
oOo
Mira flew to the side as Gohan's kamehameha overpowered his, the Android sending a volley of powerful ki blasts at the half-Saiyan, Gohan easily deflecting them.
"You'll have to try harder than that." Gohan called out.
Mira growled, making to reply when he sensed something.
"Thought you could leave me in the future, did you?!" Daikon called.
Mira's eyes went wide as Daikon kicked him in the side of the head, knocking him to the side before charging forward and planting a ki blast in his chest, blowing the Android away.
"Daikon." Gohan said softly as he flew over to his son.
"You know?" the 3/4 Saiyan asked.
"Yeah...Trunks told me about you...showed me some video feed of you fighting Mira.
"Well, I'm sorry I have to be here to help out, it was never meant to go this way." Daikon answered.
"It's okay." Gohan said, placing his hand on his son's shoulder. "I thought I'd have to wait years to see you as an adult, but now I know you'll turn out just fine."
Daikon made to reply when the two were forced to dive opposite ways, a ki blast shooting through the space between them.
"Your sentimentality sickens me." Mira snarled.
"Your existence sickens me." Daikon replied.
"I can easily say the same of you, your father and his meddling friends." Mira said.
"Just stay back, I can get this one." Gohan urged.
"No chance." Daikon said, floating ahead of Gohan. "No offense, but I think I'm a bit stronger than you."
Gohan nearly replied, thinking of commenting on Daikon's power level before realizing that what he sensed may not be all that was there.
"Just cover me for a second." Daikon requested.
"Can do." Gohan said with a grin, levitating in front of his son.
Mira cried out in rage, rushing at Gohan and sending a jab his way, Gohan catching Mira by the wrist before twisting to the side and sending a snap kick into his abdomen, Mira doubling over as Gohan wrapped an arm around his neck, Super Saiyan God aura flaring as he struggled against the Android.
Daikon let out a loud battle-cry, a blue light emanating from him and illuminating the whole area, bathing it on the divine light of a Super Saiyan God who's gone even further beyond.
"What?!" Mira exclaimed. "You weren't capable of that form, I'm sure of it."
"I wasn't when we fought." Daikon answered.
"When we fought? That was mere hours ago." Mira replied.
"For you, but it's been over a year for me...time travel is a tricky thing." Daikon answered.
"Damn you!" Mira shouted as he flew at Daikon, reeling his hand back as he formed it into a fist, purple ki flowing over it.
Daikon got into a fighting stance, Gohan watching apprehensively as Mira met Daikon, throwing a ki-empowered jab at his jaw, a massive flash going off as he made his mark...or so he thought. As soon as the dust cleared Daikon stood in the same spot he occupied before, having caught Mira's punch with ease.
"Try a little harder next time." Daikon taunted.
Mira cried out as he threw a ki blast at point blank range, Daikon being able to react fast enough to deflect it. "You arrogant monkey." Mira snarled.
"For that." Daikon said as he let go of Mira's fist. "You're getting punished." he continued before throwing a lightning fast sidekick into the androids chest, sending him into a nearby hillside, the rock crumbling as he struck it.
Mira shot out of the dust cloud with a howl of rage, Gohan meeting him halfway, the two exchanging a flurry of jabs before Mira leapt back and shot a Special Beam Cannon at Gohan, Daikon materializing between them and redirecting the attack back at Mira, the Android dodging only for Daikon to follow him, the two exchanging a series of punches and kicks before Daikon landed a jab to the Android's face, Mira staggering backwards.
"Kamehameha!" Daikon shouted, the blue stream of energy striking Mira and sending him crashing to earth, coming to rest in a crater.
"This guy just won't quit." Gohan said.
"I guess it's in his programming, Towa had no idea the monster she was creating." Daikon replied.
Below them Mira grabbed fistfuls of rocks, crushing them in his palms and letting the dust fall between his fingers. "That thing they have." he began. "I understand now, I haven't been using it to it's fullest extent." he said as he stood up, a small smile growing on his face for the first time since he arrived in this era.
"He's up to something." Gohan observed.
"Yeah, but what?" Daikon asked as Mira eyed them.
"I grow tired of this fight between us." Mira began.
"I'm guessing that doesn't mean your going home never to bother us again, huh?" Daikon asked.
"Don't provoke him just yet." Gohan answered.
"No, the opposite rather, I'm going to stay here and you two are going to Hell!" Mira roared as his eyes turned red, a purple aura surging around him.
"This again?" Daikon growled.
"That's the form he used before when the Kais and Trunks showed me your first fight with him." Gohan remarked.
"I didn't know he could still use it." Daikon answered.
"I didn't think I'd need it and it enrages me to no end that I was wrong." Mira hissed.
"Well then, let's finally settle this and get on with things." Daikon said as he shot forward.
Gohan stepped back for a moment, Daikon's speed was incredible, he just hoped it was enough.
Daikon and Mira met head on, the both of them throwing continuous hooks, jabs, kicks and blocks, Mira having become much faster and stronger than he used to be.
"Damn." Daikon thought as he failed to block one of Mira's jabs, the fist flying right passed his head, Daikon leaping back only of the Android to catch up immediately and catch him across the face with a jab before kicking him back to the ground.
Gohan rushed in, Super Saiyan God aura flaring as he through a barrage of ki blasts at Mira, the Android deflecting them before sending a collection of his own, Gohan failing to block them as they exploded around him, the half-Saiyan protecting himself with an x-shaped block. Mira charged Gohan, the half-Saiyan blocking a kick before fading back from a punch and subsequently performing a series of roundhouse and snap kicks, Mira dodging all of them before grabbing Gohan by the ankle and planting a fist firmly in his stomach, the half-Saiyan dropping to the ground and falling to his knees.
"Hm, maybe the Super Saiyan God transformation isn't all it's cracked up to be." Mira taunted as he crouched down, locking eyes with Gohan. "I thought there was supposed to be a time limit, how are you still transformed.
"That's because it's not Super Saiyan God." Gohan began. "It's Super Saiyan God Full Potential!" Gohan roared as he shot forward, tackling Mira, scraping the Android along the ground and creating a large trench with just his body. gpohan prepared a ki blast only to be kicked away be Mira, the Android flying back at him only to be kicked away by Daikon the 3/4 Saiyan stopping to look at his father.
"He's at five times stronger than he was before he used whatever power up that is."
"Do you have anymore new forms you can utilize?" Gohan asked.
"I'm afraid this is the best I've got." Daikon answered.
Just then the two dove to the side, an enormous blast flying passed them and exploding above.
Mira raced at them dark aura surging as he grit his teeth.
Daikon raced to meet him, Mira catching a punch while Daikon blocked a kick, the flipping around and engaging in a short beam struggle before breaking away and launching a volley of ki blasts at each other, the attacks detonating as they made contact. Daikon flew through the smoke, taking Mira by surprise and throwing a kick into his midsection, the Android stumbling back Gohan dove in and smashed Mira into the ground with a well-placed elbow.
Gohan and Daikon leapt back as Mira got up,raising his hands as a death ball began charging. Just then a young woman flew from the clouds, charging shoulder first into a Mira.
"Is that?" Gohan asked.
"Pan." Daikon said, just as confused.
Pan turned to give a quick, confident smile before powering up to Super Saiyan Blue, just like Daikon.
"You can both do that?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah, Grandpa taught us." Pan said as she flew up to Gohan.
"Well, that would explain what he and Vegeta are doing right now." Kyuuri said as she flew up to meet them.
"Mom!" Pan said as she lurched forward through her arms around Kyuuri. "You're so young."
"I..." Kyuuri began, not knowing what to say. "It's good to see you." she said, returning the hug.
"Hey, what about me?" Gohan asked with a laugh.
The four were interrupted as Mira rose up to meet them, chest heaving as his rage grew. "Everytime I turn around there seems to be more of you." The Android brought both arms in as he tensed his body, crying out as he began to power up.
"You come to attack me then try to hurt my kids?! I'll wreck you!" Kyuuri shouted.
Pan turned to Daikon and gave him a glare. "I can't believe you tried to come without me." she accused.
"Now that we're all here, I have an idea." Gohan said. "I did it with my Dad and Goten once to get rid of Broly...if it worked on him it could work on Mira."
"The family Kamehameha." Pan said.
"You know about it?" Kyuuri asked.
"Dad's only told us the story ten-thousand times." Daikon joked.
"Alright, let's do it then!" Kyuuri replied as she went up to Super Saiyan 2.
Gohan, Kyuuri, Daikon and Pan got into their fighting stances and brought their arms back. "Ka-may-ha!" they called slowly.
"Oh no you don't!" Mira called as he shot at them, only to be caught across the face by jab from Trunks, the half-Saiyan positioning himself right in front of him.
"How do you hope to stand against me if a Super Saiyan God can barely hold his own?" Mira asked.
"I don't have to." Trunks said with a smile. "I just have to buy them some time."
"Why you-!" Mira began as he lunged at Trunks.
"Solar Flare!" Trunks called out, an unbelievably bright flash emanating from his body, Mira crying out in pain as he shielded his eyes.
"HA!" Gohan, Kyuuri, Daikon and Pan called out as they finished the attack, the blue wave of energy roaring closer to Mira, the android opening his eyes just as it reached him.
Mira fell back as the Kamehameha enveloped him. "Does this mean I lose?" he stammered before suddenly breaking into a laugh. "I wish we could have fought more." he said before closing his eyes.
Gohan, Kyuuri, Daikon, Pan, Trunks and from a distance Piccolo and Krillin held an arm up to shield themselves as Mira exploded in a blast of dark ki, ending his threat for good.
Trunks leapt from the ground, finding to his surprise Toki Toki's egg was safe and sound. "But how?' the half-Saiyan asked.
"I guess that thing is stronger than we thought." Pan replied.
"Maybe." Trunks said with a grin. "We should probably get going now." Trunks said as he looked up towards the sky.
"Wait, but we only just got here." Daikon argued.
"But we've already changed too much." the half-Saiyan said.
"Can't we stay for a while, please, Honey?" Pan asked.
"Yeah, come on Trunks-" Gohan began, suddenly looking stunned. "Honey?" he asked.
"Yeah, what's that all about?" Kyuuri asked.
Trunks gave a nervous laugh before making eye contact with Gohan. "Well now you know." he said.
"Know what?" Kyuuri asked as she put her hands on her hips.
"Oh come on, we've been together for a while." Pan said.
"Did you know about this?" Gohan asked.
Daikon stroked the back of his head uncomfortably. "Well yeah, but it didn't seem very important with Mira here and all...and someone was supposed to stay home."
"What? Just because you're some big-shot Time Patroller only you are supposed to have fun?" Pan replied.
"When were you going to tell us, Trunks?" Gohan asked.
"In my timeline you already know." Trunks answered.
"And you're a lot less upset about it there." Pan said.
"So what, can't we stick around for a while?" Daikon asked.
"Sure, I think Old Kai and the Supreme Kai of Time can allow that." Trunks said with a laugh.
"Come on inside." Kyuuri said. "You can see Piccolo and Krillin...and hey, you can meet yourselves." she said, everyone sharing a laugh.
oOo
Above the Earth
The starship arrived in Earth's orbit just as they finished scanning, Goku and Vegeta weren't there.
"Sir, this may be the most opportune time we'll have." Tagoma suggested.
"Yes, let's go at once." Sorbet replied.
"Sir, I volunteer to accompany you on this mission." Shisami called out.
"Someone needs to be here to run the ship, I'll be taking Tagoma so it has to be you." Sorbet replied.
Shisami grit his teeth before obliging. "Yes Sir." he said, turning away to direct the crew.
"Now, let's go collect those Dragonballs, the resurrection of the Cold Family is at hand." Sorbet said with a grin.
oOo
And that concludes chapter 18! Up next is Resurrection F! Sorry for the long wait, I started school and a new job recently so the time has been hard to come by, I hope you can forgive that! Anyway, I also hope you liked the new chapter!
Very quickly I just wanted opinions, should Future Trunks, Daikon and Pan stay for Resurrection F or should it just be the present cast, keep in mind that Master Roshi, Tien, Piccolo, Krillin, Jaco, Vegeta, Goku and Kyuuri will be in that arc already. So just let me know if you'd like to see them in it or if it's too many characters, thanks!
Thank you all for the reviews, favorites and follows! It really helps me keep this going!
