Back To The Past

Bulma
-Trunks!-
Once Sanshi left, Venux went to the capsule box to grab the time machine capsule. "Well when they come back we should head to your time as soon as possible. I'm afraid the longer we dwell here, the worse our chances are of getting caught." Trunks explained to Bulma. "Do you have a place you know you can stay at?" Bulma asked. "No, but we will make due of what we have and start to build a new life." Trunks smiled at her. "Well, why don't you all come and live with me at my home? It's the biggest in all of West City. You won't have to stay forever. If you want, you can stay long enough to get well on your feet." Bulma offered.
"That's very kind of you, but I don't know. Trunks, should we take her up on the offer?" Venux asked. "Well, if you don't mind, Bulma?" "Of course not! It's the least I can do for you for saving our lives and getting us back home. Besides, Vegeta resides with me and he's a royal pain! It would be a nice change if someone would be kind enough to talk to me instead of the caveman grunts I get from Vegeta." Bulma smiled brightly and clapped her hands at the news of Trunks and his family coming to stay with them.
Then at that moment, Sanshi and Vegeta appeared before them. "We're back guys! What did I miss?" Sanshi asked brightly as she let go of a numb Vegeta and went to her Father's side. Vegeta gazed around at the people before him. Then his eyes rested upon Trunks. Sanshi came and gently gave her Father a hug. "We are going to head to Bulma's time and live at her house until' we are ready to move out on our own." Trunks explained. "Really?!!" Sanshi exclaimed.
Bulma smiled and nodded. "Like hell they are! They will be a distraction to my training efforts! Woman, I won't tolerate them from reaching my goal as a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta regained his senses and bellowed out. Everyone drew their attention to Vegeta. Bulma stood up and glared at him. "Excuse me? You have no right or say in what anything I decide to happen to MY house! You forget that you are also a GUEST and take that way too far for granted! I invited you them and if this is going to be a problem, perhaps you should leave. Because honestly, I don't see how they affect your ability to become Super Saiyan. You should be thanking these people for saving your ass for bringing us here! Now shut up or leave!" Bulma defended the family.
Vegeta crossed his arms and turned his back to her. Bulma could only glare at him. He could really be selfish sometimes. "Listen, please we need to get out of here before we are found. So please…can we settle this back in your time?" Trunks asked them. Vegeta snorted. "Brat, the business between the Woman and I are of none of your concern. However, I will continue this once we return. I'll be waiting outside til' it's time to leave." Vegeta stormed out after he said this and slammed the door behind him. Bulma let out and aggravated sigh. "Stupid Saiyan!" she muttered and turned to the family. She smiled apologetically at them.
"I'm sorry you had to see that. Vegeta can sometimes be a bit selfish. Don't let him discourage you. It's my house and you can stay. It's perfectly fine. I just think he has his head up his ass." "No need to apologize. I can understand where you are coming from. Believe me." Venux smiled. "What is that suppose to mean?" Trunks eyed her. "All right, enough. Lets get out of here." Sanshi put a stop to anymore changing of subjects.
-Hours Later!-
-O-Ren!-
Once again O-Ren found herself pacing in the throne room. Not a sign or trace of her warrior slave, or of his family, or of the time travelers from the past. She wanted them found and she wanted them found now. O-Ren had every inch of the universe searching for them. She paused her pacing to gaze out into the dark depths of space. "Come out little Hybrid. You should know you can't hid from me. One way or another, I'll find you. Don't you worry about that Hybrid." she softly spoke to her reflection.
There was a knock at the door and O-Ren turned around and allowed the person in. Several guards entered the room, bowing before the Empress and dragging Bulma's destroyed time machine behind them. O-Ren could only gaze in confusion. She went to the closest guard and told him to rise. "Explain yourselves!" she demanded. "We have returned without no trace of them. I am sorry your Highness, but they have left without a trace. It's as if they did not exist in this time." the guard informed her.
O-Ren did not like this answer. "Are you all so foolish as to come to me without anything but that to tell me! Fools! I will have you all killed! How dare you return with nothing!" she screamed angrily. "Empress, we did not return with them, but we did not return empty handed." the leader of the guards stood up and defended his squad. O-Ren went to him and struck him with her electrical whip, sending him to his knees in pain and blood dripping from his face.
"You dare to interrupt me and disrespect my authority?!" she screamed and raised her whip once more above her head. "Empress, this is a time machine! The same one the prisoners came in! We believe Trunks has created his own and has headed them all into the past once more." cried the fallen leader. O-Ren lowered the whip upon hearing this and returned it to her hip. The guards trembled in her presence. "And this is it hmmm?" she walked past them to the broken time machine.
O-Ren lightly touched it as her smile increased. "You are dismissed and I want you to bring this machine to the science labs. Make the slaves there work and repair it to working condition. Also make the searches stop. I know exactly where they are." she proceeded to leave, leaving the guards confused at her new way of approaching the situation as they waited no time in fulfilling her demands.
-20 Years Into The Past!-
-Capsule Corp.-
They arrived at Capsule Corp. lawn. Vegeta had moved on ahead from the cave since he was sore about Bulma disrespecting them. Bulma had loaded the rest into her ship and they headed back to her home. They landed on the lawn and Bulma saw Vegeta disappear up onto his balcony since the GR was broken. He had lead the way the whole time. Bulma opened the hatch as she pushed him from her mind. Sanshi and Venux picked up a sleeping Trunks. "Wow…this is the first time Dad has actually slept." Sanshi said in amazement. "You know, I can get the infirmary to wheel him in." Bulma said. "No, it's fine. Just show us the way." Venux told her.
Bulma brought him to the infirmary on hand and properly readied him up. Trunks slept through the whole process. It was if he fully let his guard down and went to sleep. Once it was all done, they watched him. Venux was by his side, holding his hand. "Come on, let me show you to your rooms." Bulma told them. "No, I don't want to leave him." "But you must be exhaughted?" Bulma asked confused. "I am, but I don't want Trunks freaking out." "Don't worry Bulma, Mom and Dad will join us when Dad is healed. Why don't you show me around and to my room?" Sanshi asked. Bulma smiled and replied, "Sure."
