Guess what? I'm not dead! (Shocking I know). I'd like to apologize for not updating and writing this story for a long, long… LONG time. I will not deny for a even a moment that I have lost a lot of interest in writing this story though, and it may take even longer for the next chapter to release in the future (yes, this isn't the end of the story), but we'll see. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Also, apologies for not uploading this chapter during Christmas (which is when I said I would), but unfortunately my computer broke and I couldn't upload it. I'm incredibly sorry about that, but things happen. I should have made I post about it, but I didn't, and I'm very sorry.
Last time on "Make a Wish"...
After Beerus and Whis arrived and met Goku Jr, they immediately had some questions. Upon talking to him, Junior gave the ring to Whis so Beerus and he could look at it. The two came to the shocking discovery that the ring he found on that fateful night was actually a time ring! What will happen this chapter? Find out in this thrilling chapter of "Make a Wish!"
"A time ring!... That's why I knew I had seen the ring before! It was the ring Black wore!" Goku exclaimed.
Flashback:
"Why do I feel like I've seen that ring before?... I can't remember from where though…" Goku said, while rubbing the bottom of his chin. "Oh well… I'll think about it more later."Goku said.
End flashback.
"A...time ring? What's that?" Goku Jr. asked the two higher ups. "To put it simply, it's a ring that gods use to travel through time…" Whis explained, before pausing. "You claimed to have found this ring on the floor after a brief flash of light, correct?" "Yup." Puck and Junior both said at the same time. "This is the first time something like this has happened if I recall…" Whis said, uncertainty filling his voice. The two higher ups continued to investigate the ring, until Beerus noticed something.
"Hey, is it just me or is the top of the ring… cracked..." Beerus said, pointing to the top of ring. Upon looking further, there was indeed a crack, though it wasn't big enough to notice without closely paying attention. "Good eye Lord Beerus. I think I see what happened here." Whis spoke aloud. "You know why we may have been sent here?" Junior said, as his face began to light up in curiosity. "Possibly. Allow me to explain what may have happened."
"Well, recently a supreme kai in training did something unheard of; traveling through time to change the world to how he envisioned it… to do that, he used a time ring. Who's to say there isn't a separate timeline where maybe a time ring took damage and broke at some point? It's not like something such as this isn't possible, as Trunks from the future is from a separate timeline himself." Whis stated. Everyone nodded in agreement, except for Goku Jr. and Puck, who didn't quite understand what Whis meant by "Trunks from the future." Whis then continued. "Like I said, this is the first time something like this has happened, so I could indeed be wrong… However, as how the ring got to your timeline, I'm still uncertain. After all, I don't even see time rings often."
"So… if we got another time ring somehow, could we get home?" Puck questioned.
Before Whis could continue, Bulma interrupted. "Well, I could have easily sent you two into the future if I certain someone didn't destroy my time machine!" Bulma shouted, looking quite angry. "Well, a God does a God has to do… Time travel is a serious problem, you're lucky I didn't destroy you… Unless, you'd like me to destroy you at this very moment." Beerus said, beginning to speak to her with an attitude. Bulma of course, knew he was only bluffing, but decided against angering Beerus any further.
"Well anyway, if we obtain a functioning time ring, then yes, easily in fact." Whis said to Puck. "It would be best if we do this now instead of waiting."
"Ugh, Whis don't tell me I have to go with you... " Beerus said, attitude filling his voice. "After all, I don't want to miss the food, which Bulma is making, don't we Whis?" Beerus told his attendant. "Wait, but I nev-" Bulma tried to speak, trying to tell them she didn't plan on making food, as her family recently had both a large breakfast and lunch. "Well, you do make a fair point… alright, we'll go fix this mess after food… Besides, I am quite hungry myself." Whis spoke, as his mouth began to water just thinking about all the delicious treats he'd soon be eating. After all, who loved tasting amazing food more than Whis?
"Fine… I'll start preparing the food…" Bulma said somewhat angrily, as she really didn't feel like taking more time out of her day to make another feast. She walked off to go ahead and start preparing the feast.
Silence followed for a few moments.
"So uh… wanna play tag or something?" Trunks asked Goten, Junior and Puck. Of course none of them could say no. Why would they?
A good hour passed before Bulma had returned, carrying out what would look like a buffet times ten. "About time, you had me waiting long enough…" Beerus said, as he got up out of the chair he decided to sit and relax in.
Bulma was of course not pleased by what Beerus had said due to the sheer amount of food she had to prepare, but she was too tired to care at this point.
Everyone gathered around to grab a plate of food, or in most cases, plates of food. "Oh my, what do you call these things?" Whis said, pointing to some crunchy brown meat. "Those are called chicken tenders… or are they chicken strips…? They have a lot of names for some reason." Bulma informed him. "Well no matter what it's called, it's absolutely delightful! After taking one bit he fell in love with yet another food. "Earth truly is a marvelous planet. No other planet I've ever been to has had so many delicious delicacies." Whis attempted to say, his mouth full of food, as he continued to eat some more chicken.
Meanwhile, Goku took a seat next to where Goten and Junior were sitting. The two kids seemed to be getting along very well, which naturally pleased Goku. "Hi dad!" Goten cheerfully said. "What'cha you get to eat?" he asked his father. Goku chuckled, before replying "what didn't I get to eat?" Even the smallest of interactions with his father made Goten's day that much brighter.
The three ate for a few minutes, before Goku began to talk. "So Junior, about what you were trying to say earlier… You never finished explaining cause you got cut off. Care to finish?" Goku asked his young time traveling lookalike.
Goku Jr. took a moment, to decide how he should word exactly what happened to him in the future.
"Uhm... Well… you uh…" Goku Jr. spat out. Goku put his hand on Junior's back, and began to speak. "Hey, I can take it, hehe. After all, I've experienced tons of crazy things in my life. I mean I'm friends with gods, if that's not crazy enough for you I'm very curious what your definition of crazy is."
"Ya, I mean he is an alien after all. That's already quite strange. So am I actually. Well, half anyway." Goten said, adding onto his father's previous statement.
Junior scratched the back of his head, before speaking up. "Uh… well… You kinda… turn into a kid...?" Goku Jr. said quietly and softly, but loud enough for the two others to hear.
"Wow, really!?" Both Goku and Goten exclaimed at the same time. Goku Jr. opened up his eyes in surprise. Goku simply continued to hold a grin, and started laughing. As to if it was a nervous laugh, Junior couldn't tell. "...You really aren't that shocked?
"While ya, such a thing is far from normal, though it certainly isn't the strangest thing to ever happen." Goku informed his great-grandson. While such a strange thing was far from normal, compared to everything else Goku had ever experienced, it was fairly believable that something such as this could and would happen. After all, this was the same person who made friends with Zen-oh, the god of everything. "I'm assuming it was the work of the Dragon Balls?" Goten asked his young lookalike. Junior nodded his head, before taking another bite from his dish. Goku chuckled once again, before replying only with "Ya, I had a feelin'."
Soon after, everyone's bellies were stuffed, and were simply relaxing. That was until Whis broke the silence. "Say, Lord Beerus, isn't it time we go help out Goku's grandson and his friend?" Beerus sighed, before getting up from the chair he was sitting in. "Ya, we should probably get that out of the way shouldn't we… Goku! Brats! Over here!"
Goku along with every other child looked at Beerus, due to Beerus referring to every kid there as "brat." Whis decided to clarify for Beerus. "Puck, little Goku, it's time to send you home. Gather around. You too Goku." The three got up from where they were located and walked over to Whis and Beerus.
Goten looked a bit disappointed, as he was hoping to spend more time with his nephew from the future, but he guessed it just wasn't gonna happen, since they were going back home. However, he couldn't help but feel happy for the two. Goten stood up out from his seat, and waved towards Junior and Puck. "Bye guys! Hope you get home safe!" Goten shouted happily. Trunks couldn't be too sad or anything since he really didn't know any of the two that well, and the same went for just about everyone else. Moments after Goten said his goodbyes, the five were surrounded by a bright light, and just like that they vanished.
A few moments later they appeared at the Sacred World of the Kai, the home of Elder Kai, Supreme Kai, and Kibito. Elder Kai, who was currently reading some questionably lewd magazines under a tree, was the first to notice their appearance. Clearly shaken by the presence of the God of Destruction, he quickly stood up as panic flooded over his face. "L-Lord Beerus! What brings you here on this… fine day?" Elder Kai spat out quickly. He was so alarmed by Beerus' presence that he didn't notice any of his other visitors. "Calm down, we're not here to cause trouble… Unless, you want me to do something to this planet." Beerus said, giving a slight grin, clearly joking around. After all, as a God of Destruction, his job is to destroy things that need to be destroyed. If there was no reason to, then he shouldn't destroy it. That was what he thought, at least. Old Kai's face grew even more terrified, before attempting to speak again, but no words came out. Beerus simply sighed. "Look, just show us where you guys keep your time rings and I'll leave…" Elder Kai took a deep breath before starting to point ahead of him. "That's all I needed…" Beerus said, before the group started walking off.
However, it didn't quite click in Elder Kai's head what Beerus had asked for. "Wait wait wait, for what purpose do you need the time rings?" Elder Kai asked. It was at this moment that Beerus realized who was with the God. Whis, Goku, and a child who appeared to be Goku's youngest son, Goten, was there as well. Goku was the first to speak up. "Well, my great grandson from the future got sent back to the past by accident, so we're gonna try to send him back home." Goku said, looking down towards Goku Jr. while patting him on the back. "Ah… I see." Was all Elder Kai said. "Well I wish you the best of luck in returning him home."
The group continued walking in the direction Elder Kai directed them to, a decent-sized house became to come into vision. This house was where they were headed, as it is where Universe 7's time rings were located. "Is this where we're headed?" Junior asked his great grandpa, looking up at him. Goku, looking down at the future look alike, chuckling. "Heheh, I guess so. Is this where we're headed?" He questioned, as he turned his head towards Whis. "Yes, if I'm correct, this is where the universe 7 time rings are held." Whis responded, holding his hand upwards, his index finger straight up. No one else responded to him, not for a solid few seconds anyway. Goku was the first to break the silence. "...Well? What are we waiting for? C'mon!" Puck exclaimed as he began running in the direction of the house. Goku looked at both Beerus and Whis, looking like he was a little confused. He simply shrugged it off though, and began running after Puck. Junior followed shortly after, as Beerus and Whis began to follow as well.
After they all approached the door, Puck began to open the doors. They were quite large for doors, and a bit heavy, as he was noticeably struggling with it. Goku Jr. took notice of this too, so he approached the doors and swiftly opened it. Naturally, his Saiyan powers made it much easier for him to open it as opposed to a normal child.
"...Huh." Was all Goku's look alike could reply with.
He only was saying this due to what he was looking at. All he saw was mostly drawers. A whole lot of them too. "You sure this is the place?" Goku Jr. asked the angel, turning his head in his direction. "Why, it certainly seems so." was all Whis replied with. He walked forward, entering the building, as he approached one of the many drawers. As he opened it, he pulled out a box, before picking it up and showing it to the others. "Is… Is there something that'll help us get home in there?" Junior asked him? "Well, see for yourself." Whis said, as he opened the box up.
Inside were multiple time rings, each with their own unique color. "Woah! There's gotta be so many!" Puck exclaimed. There was ten in the single box, though it appeared there were more boxes of time rings in the drawer. Many, many boxes, actually. It seemed like there near endless amounts if that was the case. "Oooh, this one looks neat." Goku said, taking one of the rings from the box. Beerus immediately grew a bit angry at Goku taking such an important item just to look at it. "Hey, idiot, don't touch those!" He yelled, as he swiped the ring back from Goku, and placed it back into the box. "Aw, you're no fun." Goku said, somewhat sarcastically. He understood why he did what he did though. It was quite serious, after all.
"So, is everyone ready?" The angel asked everyone.
"Yup!"
"Ya!"
"Let's do this thing!"
"...Hmph."
Whis pulled out a time ring from the box, before sliding the ring onto his ring finger. It happened to be the same one Goku picked out, too. "Hold on to me, and everything should go smooth." Whis told the others. Goku Jr. held is arm outwards, as it rested on Whis' arm, while Puck rested his hand onto his back. Goku and Beerus rested their hands on Whis' shoulders. "Everyone set to go?" He asked one final time. Everyone knotted their heads in agreement. "Stop stalling Whis, I'm still hungry and wanna get this over with." Beerus snarled. Whis chuckled for a moment, before responding. "Lord Beerus, please have some patience." He said, sighing. "Oh, one more thing. What age did you two say you were from again?" Once again, the two replied with the same answer as last time, Age 889. "Thank you. And with that, we can now travel through time."
Whis raised his hand into the air, as the ring began to glow. "Here we go!" Whis exclaimed, as the five began to glow themselves. Within seconds, they were gone.
Goku Jr. and Puck were enamored with what they were looking at. All sorts of colors swirled and spam around them, and all over the place frankly. While Goku had seen what it had look like several times prior due to travelling with Future Trunks in his time machine, it was still a fascinating sight to behold. Beerus and Whis stood there, remaining stiff, as the others looked around at the unique sights.
About a minute past as the colors and lights began to slow down, as they grew brighter and brighter. "What's happening?" Junior asked, as he grew a bit concerned. "It seems we've arrived at our destination." Whis said, looking down at the young child, smiling. The colors seemed to completely succumb to the bright lights, as they weren't visible at this point. Soon, it was nothing but white, followed by a bright flash. However, they quickly noticed one thing in particular.
They had arrived.
The place they now stood appeared to be a city, as they had appeared right on the sidewalk. Some vehicles stood on the sides of the streets, with the occasional vehicle driving by. Everyone looked around at their new surroundings, or at least, their surroundings. To two of the members of the group, this place wasn't new. "T-This is our town!" Junior exclaimed happily, with Puck chiming in quickly after. "This is it alright!" The two boys' grins immensely grew, as they both were clearly happy they were home, or at least, close to being home. "Well, good. Can we leave now Whis?" Beerus asked, scratching his head in annoyance. He himself had never time travelled, or at least to such a big extent. The only cases of this were when Whis rewinded time, but that was only by three minutes. This was more than 100 years, and hell, wasn't even his own timeline, but a different one. Needless to say he wasn't a happy camper. "Don't worry Lord Beerus, we're almost done. Now all that's left is to make sure the children return home safely." Beerus looked away from his mentor, visibly annoyed. "...Fine, let's just get this over with already…"
"So, do you boys know where your houses are?" "Whis asked the two kids. "...In what sense?" Was all Goku Jr. replied with. "Well, I-" Whis was cut off by the God of Destruction. "Do you know your addresses or not? What else could you mean by that?" Beerus snarled, clearly a bit more annoyed than earlier. Junior looked down, noticeably sad. With a deep sigh, Goku's lookalike responded. "Yes, I do…" "Good. Who's house is closer, Goku's brat or the other brat?"
"M-my house, sir." Junior said, still not looking up at the God of Destruction. He didn't like him one bit. "Good. We'll go do that first then. Tell us where to go or whatever."
Everyone began to follow the time travelling saiyan as he lead the way in the direction to where he lived. There was slight small talk here and there, but it consisted mostly of Goku Jr. and Puck talking about how excited they were to return home.
Eventually, they reached his house. It was on the smaller side compared to many of the big buildings they saw throughout the city. "So, this is where you live, huh?" Goku said, smiling as usual. It wasn't much, but it looked cozy, kind of like his house, and Grandpa Gohan's little house. "I like it." He continued, looking down at his grandchild.
There was nothing but silence for a few moments; no one had much of an idea as to what to say now. The silence was broken by Goku Jr.
"...So… I guess this is goodbye…" he said softly, clearly growing sad. He walked up to his great grandfather slowly, as he wrapped his arms around him, creating an embrace. "I… Thank you… I'll miss you…" he spoke softly, as he tightened his hug. Goku crouched down to him, as he shared an embrace with him too. "Hey, don't mention it." He said, smiling back at the child. That seemed to make him feel better, as he let go of his grandfather, and cleaned out his eyes. Tears were beginning to form, though he didn't want to be seen crying. Not again. Goku let go from the child too.
Goku Jr. turned in the direction of his house. He slowly began walking forward, following the path that led to the door. Before he knew it, he stood right in front of it. The only thing left to do was to open the door and let himself in, and then everything would go back to how it used to be.
He placed his hand on the doorknob, and turned it to the right.
This would be the part where the door normally would have opened. But it seemed the door was locked. "...Huh?" was all Junior had to say. That was odd. The door usually wasn't locked, especially when it was midday. He rang the doorbell, hoping for a response.
But there was none, nor would anyone come from the other side to open it.
I cannot express how joyful I am that I finally finished this chapter. Thank you for reading! I know this one was probably full of errors, but I felt I owed it up to you guys for such a long wait, so I tried to get it out as soon as I could. If you found any errors, please let me know and I'll fix them as soon as I can.
Also, I have actually been working on an Xenoblade Chronicles 2 story for awhile, and it's nearly complete. It has a very similar concept to Make a Wish, so if you're a fan of the series and think you may be interested, please read it when it's out! I'll update this part when it releases.
Until the next chapter, thank you so much for reading and enjoying, it really means the world to me.
