Hiya Folks! Suna No Ken here again to bring you this story about the world of Future Trunks. I know it's been a while but this story keeps getting me to develop it in my head, so I might as well get it out to all of you! I'm gonna try to update more regularly as this really is a story I feel has to be told. So without further ado lets get on with the show!
Disclaimer: I Own NOTHING. Not even the characters that look like OC's. Believe me, the no one in here is an OC...yet.
Ch 2: Guiding Forces
Trunks looked out over all the children running around the playground, smiling and laughing. It wasn't so long ago that such a scene would have been next to impossible to find out in the world, but times had indeed changed for the better. Nothing else solidified his mission and goals quite like seeing the children play, safe in the knowledge that they would never have to grow up fast the way that he and Gohan did. These children could continue to stay children, at least for a little while longer.
"It's quite the sight isn't it?" He heard a deep voice say to his left. Trunks didn't need to turn around, and he knew he wasn't expected to, but he shared a smile with the man anyways.
"It really is." He agreed, enjoying the sight for a few moments more before he sighed and stood back up. He had work to do. Still… "How are they Pigero? They seem happy at least."
Pigero nodded to Trunks a very prominent smile on his face, though his eyes still seemed a bit stern. "They are Trunks, about as happy as any other child I would say. They're strong, in the real way if you get my meaning."
Trunks nodded and glanced back at the children for a moment, then back towards the man. Pigero was a surprising find for Trunks, and someone he wished could join him at Z HQ. When he first found him he was the second best student at Roshi's martial arts school, second only to Videl in terms of power and technique. He seemed to absorb martial arts like a sponge, growing and achieving at an unbelievable rate for any human, let alone a full-grown man. He advanced so quickly that he went to train with the old cat Master Korin and learned all he could in a matter of days. He was a true disciple of martial arts, so much so that he still wore the turtle hermit Gi top with his own black sweatpants, but it always seemed to come second to his true passion.
Now at the age of 40, Pigero was a hardened warrior, but a kind man as well. He continuously went on trips around the world, flying to every part of it where there was some word of children in need. He found and looked after every child he found who had suffered at the hands of the androids or the tortures of bandits. Every child here was an orphan, but Pigero used his strength to protect these children in a different way than Trunks. He gave them a home.
"I'm glad to see that you're doing a good job here Pigero, the whole world is lucky we have someone like you."
"I'm nothing too special, not like Gohan was." Pigero said, reminiscing about the person he had seen grow from a boy not much stronger than him to a man that had been the worlds greatest protector. Sure Trunks had been the one to eventually save it, but in Pigero's mind Gohan was still the greatest defender of Earth.
"We had quite the road ahead of us back in those days. I remember that I sometimes would wish I had accepted Gohan's offer of training back then, thinking that if I had been there fighting with you two he might still be alive, but then I think about what might have happened if I had taken up that offer and been killed in battle. Back then I just tried to save and look after the children that had nowhere else to go, thinking I was making a difference. It's not until things started to settle in the wake of the androids defeat that I really understood the kind of impact I made. I don't regret choosing the children over fighting the good fight Trunks, not then and not now. I know a part of this trip was to try and recruit me again, but like I said last time, I'm sorry."
Trunks sighed but nodded, knowing that the outcome would be this way regardless. He had indeed been considering asking Pigero again to join him, he was after all about as strong as the Krillin he had met in the other time line and that kind of power was something he needed desperately, but after actually seeing the children being happy he understood now what he would be asking the man to give up.
"I understand Pigero, the work you're doing here is much more important anyway." Trunks said sincerely. He clapped Pigero on the shoulders and motioned towards the other caretakers that were watching carefully around the playground area of the giant sanctuary. "The kids are fine out here, let's head inside. You called me out here for a reason after all."
With a grunt of affirmation, Pigero turned and led Trunks through the facility towards his office. Sanctuary had been built with Pigero's blood sweat and tears after he was done with his formal and self-training. Trunks had offered to pay for everything himself but Pigero said that his dream couldn't be satisfied with a simple handout, that he needed to work for it, so Trunks gave him a job instead. As the Head Warden of the east quadrant Pigero had to ensure that all law was followed and that Bandits and roving gangs out in the Crossing Lands were dealt with properly. It sickened Trunks to think that even after all the death and destruction that had befallen the planet that there were people who could still act cruelly.
However Pigero had more than just that as his responsibilities. As the Head Warden of the quadrant he had to make sure that his own men didn't abuse their power as protectors, he had to make sure that everything was running smoothly in the cities, even sometimes act as a judge for civil crimes and complaints. The biggest responsibility he had though had already occurred. He had called in Trunks for a problem that needed to be dealt with.
As they entered Pigero's office he motioned for Trunks to take a seat and offered some water. After Trunks' polite decline Pigero grabbed some for himself, sat down behind his desk, and grabbed some papers.
"As you know, I've recently had to take on a bit more of an active roll in the North Quadrant ever since Videl went to join you and the others at HQ. It's nothing that I can't handle, Videl did good work over there, and all her files and cases were neatly organized so I was able to get a good holding over there pretty well. Being promoted to Head Commander of the Wardens was never something I particularly strived for, but I guess the old adage of 'With great power there must also come great responsibility' holds true even to this day."
Trunks grunted an affirmative and nodded for Pigero to continue. "Well, as per protocol, I immediately went looking through her ranks to see who might be a good fit to take over as the head of the North Quadrant now that it wont house the Head Commander, and discovered a few irregularities with her staffing. Mostly that a number of them had up and vanished."
"Vanished?" Trunks asked confused, to which Pigero handed him the papers he was looking at. As Trunks went through the dossiers of the missing Wardens Pigero continued.
"Yes, vanished. There's been no word from them when I tried to contact them; those that had families all claimed that they believed they were on missions for us. I went to the homes of all those that didn't have families and none of the homes seem to have been touched for days. I tried to get in contact with Videl today when I arrived back here, but she wasn't responding so I called you."
"Videl is currently training in the arctic with Master Roshi, getting him back in a fighting shape he hasn't been in for years according to him. His latent power level has always been incredibly high, and when he get's into his maximum power mode he's quite impressive. He's about as strong as you, maybe stronger if he can retrain himself to stay at that level of power for longer periods of time. That's Videl's hope at least."
"No shit?" Pigero asked amazed. "Well, I never would have thought the old man still had those kind of tricks up his sleeve. I can't wait to get my own shot at him."
"Yeah, me too." Trunks admitted with a curt nod ending that train of thought and getting the two warriors focused back to the task at hand. "So, what do you think happened then Pigero?"
"I'm not entirely sure though I do have a few theories." Pigero said as he went back to his files and pulled out a specific envelope. "All of this started when Videl left to join you and the other Z-Fighters, so the timing of these incidents aren't random. Someone has been planning this, and planning for quite some time most likely. The target is obviously the Wardens, but the why is what's eluding me. Does the person doing this have a grudge against us? Are they trying to weaken the quadrant for some sort of attack? Do they just want fewer Wardens around so that it's easier to cause some mayhem for a while? I can't figure it out."
"None of these guys are exactly pushovers Pigero, all of them seem to have been scanned at HQ with power levels over eighteen thousand. One woman even has a power level of forty thousand!" Trunks said amazed as he continued to look over the files. It was rare that any humans pushed past a power level of twenty five thousand based off of the average set up by all of the power scouting Ginyu had done at Z HQ. Any human that did however seemed to have the potential to increase their power to incredible heights, like Pigero and Videl. The fact that they may have lost a person with such incredible potential was a hefty loss indeed.
"No random bandits or even an organized group of thugs could have taken out most of these people, especially not her. No, whoever is doing this is someone with some serious power. Power that they know to hide well if we have no real leads on them." Trunks said, getting concerned at the terrible possibility he was thinking of.
"I know that. It's why I called you here. We do have what looks like a lead or two, but those could just be happenstance. I think you know what the most likely case is with these disappearances."
"You think there's a traitor in the Wardens." Trunks said getting a nod from Pigero.
"Only someone trained as a Warden would have the power to do something like this. Not only because they can obviously take out some of our strongest people, but also because they know who is likely their best targets. Everyone on this list was considered the best and strongest Wardens on Videl's force; everyone weaker than them hasn't been touched. Usually you would start with the weaker ones first and work your way up, but this type of pattern…well it looks like these are tests Trunks."
Trunks' gaze hardened and he glanced towards the ground. He didn't need Pigero to finish the thought; they both knew what he meant. These were tests to see if their power was good enough to stand up against the Z-fighters. Videl's forces had some of the strongest warriors on the planet, almost like a miniature force of Z-fighters. It made sense that whoever wanted to take them on would practice there.
"You said there might be some evidence to the contrary Pigero? That this might not be an inside job?" Trunks asked to which Pigero handed him the envelope he'd been holding for the past few minutes. Trunks opened it and pulled out some cards. "What are these?"
"Those are cards that were found at each of the homes of the missing people. Each one of them is identical. We've already searched them for prints but whoever placed them for us to find obviously didn't want to leave their identity behind along with the message."
"And this picture?" Trunks asked as he flipped the card around a bit, staring at the giant cat that was on both sides. "What is this? It's a big cat obviously, but I'm not sure if it's a Cheetah or a Leopard."
"It's neither." Pigero said as he got up to grab more water. "Though you are close with those guesses. It's a Jaguar, though it's significance on the card is unknown so far."
"Jaguar huh?" Trunks said as he continued to look at the cards. "We'll have to look into that, see if there's anyone out there with some sort of Jaguar motif."
"Already on it, though nothing has come up yet in terms of Bandit banners, or even nicknames of other Wardens. However, that isn't the only piece of evidence Trunks. There's also this, though I have no idea how they managed it." At that Pigero pulled out a drawer on his desk and handed over a single sheet of paper. Trunks looked it over before gasping in shock.
"No…that's impossible." Trunks said in shock looking over the paper. It was the results for a blood test but they made no sense.
"We ran the test four different times, with multiple samples I discovered at one of the homes. There's no way it's a mistake Trunks. Somehow, someway, whoever did this managed to leave this at the scene, more than likely as a message. There was no need to leave it but as that."
"It just can't be…" Trunks muttered before sighing and looking over the name of the person the blood test came back as. Son Gohan. "Gohan…even after you've left us, it seems things don't get easier for you."
"That's all that I have for you Trunks, as well as all the time I have to spend. The children will be coming in soon, and those that I train are going to be impatient to get started." With that Pigero moved towards the door before glancing back at Trunks. He frowned in thought and shook his head before approaching the young man and putting a hand on his shoulder. "Don't let this get to you too much right now Trunks. We'll get these guys, and when we do we can put all this to rest. Right now though the others need to be warned and you need to put your team on alert. Things are only going to get crazier from here. Good luck."
Pigero turned and left while Trunks contemplated things for a few more moments before deciding that Pigero was right. Right now he needed to get the word out, and that's exactly what he would do.
"So that's the situation." Trunks said over the call to Ginyu. Ginyu nodded his head solemnly as he thought over the men and women that had disappeared. It was a very large blow to his morale, as though Trunks was the "Leader" and that Pigero boy was the new "Head Commander" Ginyu was the real brains behind The Wardens.
True he didn't come up with the idea for it, but all of their protocols were made by him, as well as their planetary battle strategies, and all of their reports eventually made there way to his desk. He was the logistics mastermind behind them all, he read every personnel file, counseled the Head Commander on most decisions including budget and where to station everyone. He even did mandatory Power Level readings of everyone that joined their forces in the Level Chamber Bulma had built. In many ways, he was the secret leader of the Wardens, and to hear all of this happening as well as the possibility of it being a traitor, it frustrated him greatly.
"Are you off to inform the last quadrant head?" Ginyu asked as he began to rub his brow.
"Yes. Videl and Roshi will eventually return to HQ so I can inform Videl at my leisure, and since the West quadrant is head free with all of us there, that only leaves Lime in the South Quadrant. I should be there in a few minutes, but I wanted to get your take of things on my way there."
"You're going to hit a bird and be covered in feathers, that's my take." Ginyu said half-heartedly. "I've told you multiple times not to fly and call, you distract yourself too much and leave yourself open to attack."
"Ginyu I'm serious."
"So am I Trunks…so am I…" Ginyu sighed tiredly. He was letting the possible loss of his troops get to him. He needed to focus. Act Professional. Trunks and the others needed him right now. "Contrary to what Pigero believes I don't believe it's a traitor if that's what you're asking."
"Ginyu, I hope you aren't just saying that."
"I'm not, I honestly don't think it is. The first indication is that if there were any traitor their goal would be about collecting on some Vendetta against the Wardens as a whole, and while some evidence suggests that there is too much against it."
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked, confused as to what Ginyu saw that he didn't.
"I've seen it a number of times in the past Trunks, betrayal is a nasty thing, and whenever it came it always had either power or revenge at the forefront. This isn't a power play to get higher up in the Wardens otherwise you would already know who the person is, they tend to enjoy the spot light. That only leaves revenge, but whenever someone seeking revenge want's to leave a message they tend to make it one those that find it can understand. Something like a note, armor that's been cut a specific way, anything along those lines. Instead you received cards with a big cat on them."
"Jaguar. And a match for Gohan's blood on the scene."
"Exactly. If it was a traitor in the Wardens the messages left behind would have been something like ripped armbands of all the victims, but instead it's a card. You are being sent a message Trunks, and this is a test, but it's not coming from inside us."
Ginyu waited for Trunks' response but all he heard was quite on the other side of the communicator. Ginyu knew that he was most likely correct in his assumptions and that Trunks would likely believe him, but still he should probably start making up some new plans and begin taking some action. He may only have a measly power level of sixty thousand at the moment, but that was more than the majority of Wardens on Earth. If one of them had gone rouge, he would be the one to clean it up.
"Thank you Ginyu." He suddenly heard Trunks say over the line. "That really puts me at ease."
"No problem kid. Now focus on the skies and let Lime know about all this, and then come back here on the double. I'm gonna head out soon and someone needs to be here in case any other problems arise."
"Roger that Ginyu, over and out." With that the line cut off and Ginyu was left with only his thoughts.
He walked through the halls of Z HQ and made his way over to the Laboratory where he would no doubt find Bulma working away on some new invention. Sure enough when Ginyu entered the blue haired woman was crouched forward on a desk with some form of machinery in front of her.
"Bulma." Ginyu called, letting her know he was here.
Turning around, Bulma noticed Ginyu and lifted the goggles off of her soot-covered face and smiled. She had aged well, and if she wanted could still pull off the highest of high fashion, however she seemed to be more comfortable in her blue lab jumpsuit and gloves with her hair done up in a bun. "Hey there Ginyu, what's up?"
"I need a scouter. I know that you keep saying that you can only make one the size of the chamber without any existing scouter to modify, but I think I know you well enough to know that if you really wanted to build it you could." Ginyu wasn't going to play the scouter game he had played with Bulma the last few years. They both knew she could do it, but Ginyu had always allowed the subject to drop out of respect for the woman. Right now however he couldn't afford to let things go that way, especially not when what looked like the first real threat to this place seemed to finally be happening.
Bulma for her part at first looked ready to argue with Ginyu and put up some sort of fight, but after looking closer at his expression and how tense he seemed she reconsidered, instead growing a bit concerned. "Ginyu? What's going on?"
"We might be under attack." Ginyu said bluntly before moving his gaze around the rest of the room. "We're not in immediate danger yet, but right now your son is going around warning the Wardens. While he's out though we need someone to be looking for whoever it is that wants to target us. They have some power behind them, but are good at hiding their energy so well that it can't be picked up by sensing."
"Then what good would it do to have a scouter?" Bulma asked, understanding the situation more and trying to decide what to do.
"For all the usefulness that sensing energy has, it can be fooled. A scouter, while also foolable, is able to pick up even the most minute of power levels around a whole planet. My guess is that while whoever is doing this can hide their power level when trying; they likely can't do it subconsciously. Making routine scans with a scouter as I fly across the world is likely the best shot we have of actually finding them before they strike again."
Bulma's mouth thinned and she concentrated hard on whether or not to go through with this. She had always been a bit hesitant of giving Ginyu a scouter for no other reason than if he decided he wanted to run away he was skilled enough at hiding his power level to avoid them and a scouter would allow him to see them coming from a mile away, even sixteen since scouters apparently picked up on all energy sources not just living energy. Giving him a scouter was like giving him the keys to the planet as a whole, and though she trusted Ginyu to fight and protect the planet, she wasn't sure if she trusted he would come back to them. He was their first addition to their forces, before Roshi, before sixteen, it was Ginyu who had joined them and helped them plan. She didn't want to begin to lose her second family.
"Bulma, people will die if I don't start going out looking. Some may have already. I need that scouter." Bulma looked at Ginyu seriously one more time and realized that he really did want to save who he could. Slowly she nodded and stood, motioning for him to follow her.
"I've always been able to make the scouters, the design is rather beautifully simplistic honestly, but I never liked them much. Still, I knew that one day we might need some if not for you than for any one that couldn't quite grasp the concept. So I've used some spare time here and there to keep improving the scouter design and capabilities." Bulma led Ginyu to a safe at the back of the lab and placed her hand on the scanner, after which the safe popped open and Bulma pulled out a steel briefcase.
Presenting it to Ginyu she popped the scouter open and showed him the scouter. It had a purple tint to the glass screen, which was a bit smaller and sleeker than most scouter models, and the earpiece attachment was thin but obviously made for comfort as it seemed the scouter could fit snugly around a persons ear rather than just covering.
"Interesting. What can it do?"
"Well besides the sleek and comfort design, I built it with the highest scouting capacity possible. The power reader can track the power level of the target upwards of five hundred million. Even if the person you're using it on has a higher power level than that the scouter most likely wont explode but will instead shut down. Not only that, but the scouter has a built in recording device, so whatever you see can be reviewed later or broadcast out for others to see. Finally, I rigged it up so that it can pick up any distress signals from other Wardens as well as take any and all calls made out to your personal communicator. What do you think?"
"Fantastic." Ginyu said in genuine awe and appreciation, grabbing the scouter and fitting it firmly to the side of his head. "Oh, does it have that ringtone I like?" Ginyu asked, looking hopefully at Bulma.
Bulma instead chuckled nervously and just gave Ginyu a strained grin. "Heh heh, maybe in the next model."
"Ah, well, the better to not get distracted then I suppose." Ginyu said before nodding his appreciation towards Bulma again. "I'll be going then. If Trunks needs me or an emergency occurs you know how to reach me. Otherwise keep an ear out in case I find something." Ginyu turned and made his way to the door of the lab, Bulma following him so that she could head back to her workstation and finish her previous project.
"Be careful, and try to be back before morning." Bulma called over her shoulder as she returned to her work. Ginyu just grunted an affirmation and exited the building before flying off. There was work to do.
"But I can't just stay here while you and the others fly off looking for whoevers doing this! There's work to do, and I want to be a part of it!" Lime screamed at Trunks, the young man doing his best to not let his fear and nervousness show on his face.
"I known you want to help out Lime, I really do, but right now there are more important things happening here that need your attention. I know for a fact that all the crops are going to be getting harvested and shipped out soon, you need to make sure those transports don't get attacked."
"I could just assign that to some of the other's under me! Any Warden worth their weight could handle a whole band of thieves!" Lime continued, pointing her large pitchfork right up in Trunks' face to emphasize her point. The fact that the Saiyan also cried out in a panic and ducked under the pitchfork was just an amusing bonus. "If someone is going around picking us off I gotta help with the search effort!"
Trunks could only sigh and palm his face. He had been going around in circles with this girl for the past half hour and he was no closer to getting her to drop it than he was when he started.
Trunks looked back down at the girl and observed her as she continued to ramble on about how she wanted to go with. Lime had been another rare find for Trunks, much like Pigero had. Both were fairly strong, Lime being more along the lines of Tien's strength in relation to Pigero's Krillin level strength, and both had known Gohan. It seemed that whomever Gohan touched and met seemed to blossom into some of the best people Trunks had met. He could only imagine what things would be like if Gohan was still here to see it.
Lime for her part was every bit the farmer girl she had been when she first started out training, wearing nothing but a red band top that barely covered her –ahem- gifts and a pair of blue overalls with long straps that positioned themselves in a very risky way over her chest. As head of the Wardens in the South Quadrant she was also the head of all the farming and food industries that were based there which were heavy targets for those that wanted to get them by more…dishonest means.
"Lime." Trunks finally spoke up, cutting Lime off mid rant at the harshness in his voice. "You can't leave your post here. You're needed here. Under normal circumstances I probably would have let you come help out, but this place is possibly the most important one we have. If someone is going to try and get at us, this will be a high priority target for them to attack. I need someone who I can absolutely trust to watch over things here and keep it safe."
Lime blinked and seemed to settle down after hearing that, lowering her pitchfork and looking at the ground. Trunks tried not to stare at her once he realized her face was red in obvious embarrassment and tried madly to think of a subject change.
"So I hear you guys have some new horses around here." Trunks tried lamely. "Do you think I could see them?"
Lime looked at Trunks as if he had grown a second head out of nowhere. "You like horses?" Lime asked, incredibly skeptical.
Trunks fidgeted a bit under her gaze but swallowed and nodded regardless. "I like horses."
Lime raised her brow and continued to stare at Trunks before she slowly smiled. Trunks raised his own brow at Lime as her smile grew into a chuckle, then her chuckle into a full-blown laugh as she did her best to keep from falling over.
"Goodness Trunks you are a dork, you know that?" Lime said before she spun around and began sashaying away from Trunks, resting her pitchfork on her should as she waved goodbye with her free arm. "Go and save the world hero, me and the other small folk around here will make sure that things keep progressing." She turned her head around to shoot a wink back at Trunks who reddened in the face. "Don't disappoint me now, y'hear!" She called out before giving another bark of laughter and continuing on her way.
Trunks just sighed and looked up to the sky, wondering if Gohan ever had to deal with stuff like this back when he helped Lime out on her own small farm in exchange for groceries. "Women are so confusing."
Sixteen looked on, recording everything he could about the battle happening in front of him. It was his job to continually measure the power output of the individuals fighting, how long they were able to hold their maximum power for, what effects and damages their bodies were going through, and finally to call the match when it seemed there would be a clear winner. So far, there had not been one instance when he's needed to call the match as one of the fighters continually had to break for a rest ever thirty minutes or so, though this match seemed to be coming close to needing his ruling if the beam struggle was anything to go – no scratch that, it was over.
"C'mon Master, that can't be everything you've got!" Videl called down to Roshi who was currently face down in the snow in nothing but a tank top and loose pants, some light smoke gently wafting off his form. Videl couldn't help laughing at the old man as she floated in the air, dressed warmly in her parka. "Is the cold finally getting to you? What was it you said when I questioned you about fighting out here? Something about the cold being a good motivator to stay in form longer? How's that working out?"
Sixteen could not hear what Roshi said as the old man was saying it into the snow, but he could guess that it was likely something unpleasant.
Slowly, Roshi pushed himself back up onto his feet and looked up at Videl. He had done quite a number on her despite how much she was making fun of him at the moment. She had continually retreated to the air during the fight, feeling the pressure whenever Roshi began to catch some stride. Videl may have been physically stronger than her, but his experience and wealth of techniques allowed him to make the fight a hard one for her.
Even with all that though, he was definitely the one worse for wear. While not heavily damaged, the fatigue from constantly trying to keep his max power going for an extended amount of time weighed heavily on him. It would be best for him to call it a day and retreat back to Z HQ to rest up.
"Come down Videl." Roshi said as he began to make his way to sixteen who was starting to get up realizing the training session was over. "I think that's enough for the day. We can pick things back up tomorrow. Right now I just need a rest and my magazines."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Master." Videl said as she flew over towards sixteen, watching as Roshi climbed on top of the large android. "You know, you really should learn to fly, you look just weird having to climb onto sixteen like that."
"Whelp, you get used to it after a while." Roshi says as he settles into a comfortable position sitting on sixteen's back. "Besides, it's not like I've never been able to fly, it's just that once you pass two hundred years of age the human body begins to not like the sensation of flying any more. I'm over three hundred years old, I think I've done enough flying in my lifetime."
"Your statement is illogical." Sixteen said as the three of them began to make the journey home. "If you are truly a pure human you would have died of old age long before now."
"Haven't you heard sixteen?" Videl asked as she flew besides him, looking genuinely shocked at the android.
"I've drunk from the fountain of immortality sonny! The Elixir of life flows through my veins, I'm not dying of old age any time soon! Heh, I'll probably out live all of you! You know, as long as I don't get myself killed again at least."
Sixteen thought about commenting on the fact that such a concoction was now logically possible of existing but thought better of it. He may not know very much about humans, but what he did know was that Roshi enjoyed telling such stories of adventure. He would hold his tongue for now so that his friend could continue to enjoy himself.
"So, do you think anything exciting has been going on since we've been gone?" Videl asked, hoping for some kind of adventure to come along. She had only been a part of the Z-Fighters for little more than a week, but already she was getting stir crazy for some adventure.
"Not likely." Sixteen said. "Nothing really seems to happen to us other than daily routine after daily routine.
"Aww." Videl whined, flipping over in the air to look at the sky as she flew. "I would give anything for things to just get a bit more exciting around here."
"Be careful what you wish for now Videl." Roshi said sternly, staring forward. "You just might get it." Videl stared at Roshi more for a moment, unsure of what to say before deciding to simply stay quiet. Roshi was right, but maybe he was also just a bit paranoid. They had Trunks on their side, with him around, what could really happen?
"So…" Ginyu drawled as he stared down at the island with a large castle on it. He looked it over again with his scouter and frowned in extreme displeasure. He had originally though that there would only be one or two large power levels, but from what he could tell it was more a gigantic mass of tiny power levels, all averaging around ten to twenty on his scouter. However, deep down under the castle, his scouter could pick up two GIGANTIC power levels that dwarfed even Videl's that seemed to come out of nowhere. This really did not look good, still…"This must be the place."
And thats the show everybody! I hope that you all enjoyed it! Now for some quick info I think a few of you might want! (If anyone's even paying attention to this story...hopefully...kami I' hope people are actually reading my stuff)
The two main people I introduced in this chapter were Pigero and Lime, both of which are people from the Dragon Ball Z filler episodes. Pigero was in the first season when Gohan found that society of run away kids and was a decent fighter from what Gohan saw. He hasn't changed much since that episode as he still just want's to protect the children. In terms of fighting power he's about equal to Krillin of the main timeline, which is a power of roughly 800,000 from my research. Not strong enough to beat a final form Frieza but definitely strong for a human.
Second is Lime, from the Cell Saga filler which were some of my favorite filler to be honest. She's the girl Gohan saves from drowning, and who's grandfather faces off with Cyber General Tao. I went off the premise that after the androids attacked, her parents still died, her grandfather than began to train her, and Gohan eventually met her and that she's where he got some vegetables an stuff from. Like I said Tien level strength which is about 720,000.
And if you think Power levels are going to play a major part for long rest assured they wont. I just need them for now to scale these people for you. Anyways, please tell me what You think! Did you like it? Hate it? Any ideas as to who is doing all this or what's happening in general? Please, leave me a review and come back for the next installment of The Timeline We Wont Forget! Suna OUT!
