Chapter 15: Arrival on Planet Vegeta
Trunks bounced on the balls of his feet to get a feel for the Gravity and asked Aulier "What is the difference in gravity in comparison to Earth?" she replies "I'd have to say ten times Earth's normal gravity." He asks another question "Weapons or not?" She shakes her head 'no' "We are both weapons Specialists and your training on that is complete your Martial Arts needs to be honed to perfection. Torankusu buck up you should be glad to be able to see them again, and we will be straying here for a while so you can read up on all the sayian history in the Library with Gohan. I'm sure he will want to read up on it seeing that he can't get any info out of Prince Vegeta." Trunks looks up at Aulier "I am glad it is just been so long since I have seen them that it will be like seeing them for the first time all over again in this time line it is like fourteen years since the defeat of Cell. Anyways let's get this started." He unfastens his sword from his back and takes his capsule case out from under his armor. He turns to Bardock "Can you hold these for me?" Bardock nods, Trunks tosses his capsule case to him and places it under his armor, and then he tossed his sword to the Druid, which is caught with both hands. Bardock asks "May I look at it." Trunks nods "Sure, it is the same as when I fought the androids just that after I met Aulier she made it stronger and engraved down the middle if it 'Never forget where you are from' since it is a double edged sword." Then Trunks turns to Aulier, "I think you should power up first then wait five minutes before powering up". Aulier nodded in agreement.
Shugesh turns his scouter on and locks it on Trunks "It only says 1,000" Trunks smirks at him "That is because I'm at rest and not suppressing my KI. You should check her out." Shugesh laughs "Alright I will." He turns in to Aulier, "you should be dead it reads '0'." She chuckles "Here I'll lift my 'KI concealed' spell." Once she did the scouter automatically exploded. "What did it say before the mother board crashed?" "I-I didn't catch it, the numbers were jumping all over the place the highest number I saw was 10,000." Aulier got red in the face, crossed her arms across her chest and spun on her heel now with her back to the group of mostly men and threw over her right shoulder "Figures the damned thing would only read as high as what my age is." Trunks busted out laughing. The enraged female spins back around and closed the space between her and the laughing male in less than a second grabbing him by the collar of the body suit he was wearing and growled towards him "What par say is so funny?" Still snickering Trunks replies "Something about this reminds me of my mom and Gohan's mom ChiChi." The Cosmic Dragon's aura flared around her wildly as her power grew "Well unlike those two earth women I can very easily beat your ass without the use of a frying pan". Trunks tried to flatter her "I don't doubt it Madam Dragon". Aulier scuffs "Flattery won't help you here Torankusu. Oh and King Vegeta you have roughly thirty men headed this way quickly most of which are your elites tell them to stand down and even though it is not tell them 'it's nothing more than a lover's quarrel.' Now Torankusu we will fight, screw the cover up with the amount of energy I'm putting out now King Kai is without a doubt telling Goku." In addition to that, she hurled him into a far off Mountain Range Trunks powered up to his Dragon Mystic form. A form he acquired after she gave him her blood and cured him, his hair turned to the golden yellow of Super Sayian but stayed down as if it would be in his base form and his normal blue eyes. He teleported back in front of her going for a kick to the side, which she abruptly catches and spins him around and throws him into the air, teleports in front of him and delivers a devastating elbow to the sternum sending him back crashing into the ground.
King Vegeta asks no one in general "Is that the form of Super Sayian he was talking about?" Bardock answers, "No it isn't but there is a similar trait when I saw him transform in the visions his hair would spike up and be the same golden yellow but with turquoise eyes this is a whole different transformation.
-=- Meanwhile-=-
Vegeta was training in the GR whereas Goku and Gohan were in the mess hall eating when they felt two huge power levels all thinking "Whoever those power levels belong to they can destroy the planet". Goku asked Gohan "Do you know how to shut the ship off?" his eldest son replied "Of course Bulma showed me." Goku responds "Good because I am going to use instant transmission with the whole ship the second you start the shut down process." Gohan nods and places his hand on his father's shoulder and arrive at the cockpit.
-=- Back on Planet Vegeta-=-
Trunks got back up and teleported once again in front of Aulier landing a punch in her gut, she retaliates with a double ax handle to his lower back. He returns the favor by hooking his arm around her waist and dives towards the ground only to have it reversed by her pushing herself out of his grasp and teleporting behind him smashing her knees into his back once again crashing into the ground, she yelled at him "Are you giving up Torankusu?" He lets out a yell and rushes at her with his right arm pulled back ready for a punch.
They were so engrossed in their fight they did not notice that a large ship appeared out of nowhere after the door opened Goku powered up to Super Sayian 3 "Gohan Vegeta I want you to power up. Goten, Trunks stay here, and DONOT transform to super sayian there is no telling what will happen with the disease if you do. Gohan, Vegeta Look I don't know why Mirai is here I'm sure we will find out soon but here is the plan it appears that he is fighting a female that has a temper to rival that of our wives combined, no offence ladies. I'm going wait for an opening when I make my move I'm going after the female and attempt to restrain her while you go and check on Mirai, got it." Gohan replies "Right" as he powers up to his Mystic state and Vegeta grunts as he powers up to super sayian two. As they watch, the battle King Kai quickly informs Goku "Be careful Goku she is more that a spiteful woman she is thee overseer of time and space the Comic Dragon. The form you are seeing her in is the form she takes while checking up on planets to make sure everything is still in balance." Goku responds, "No kidding huh. Anything else I should know?" King Kai solemnly responds "Sorry that is all I know." Goku says, "Thanks for the tip". After that, the link was broken.
Torankusu kept delivering punch after punch and kick after kick, only to be blocked, dodged, or reversed. He delivered a roundhouse kick that connected and sent her flying a short ways before she stopped herself, but enough space for him to sent a strong KI blast. At the same time, she used her magic to summon a boulder the size of KAME HOUSE and hurled it at him the KI blast diffused on impact of the boulder and did not have time to dodge it.
Goku shouts "NOW!"
Gohan and Vegeta fly out after Mirai just after Goku uses instant transmission, gets behind the Cosmic Dragon, and locks her in a full nelson. She shouts at her capture "I thought…" backwards head butt to his nose making him loose grip "…King Vegeta said…" double elbow to his gut "…NOT TO INTERFERE!" a spinning kick to his head. She paused long enough to get a look at the man that dared to interfere in her fight, what she saw was a man in an orange and blue GI with long Golden hair and green eyes with black pupils. She watches at the man "stands" straight up, snaps his nose back into place, and used his wristband to clean the blood out from under his nose. He then says, "I don't know who you thought who I was but I'm…" she holds a hand up interrupting him "You're the sayian known at Goku, formerly named Kakarot right." Goku nods "Yes I am. I guess I should not half to ask how you know that because King Kai told me you are the one known as the Cosmic Dragon the overseer of time and space. I am going to go on a limb and assume you hold more power over the universe than the Supreme Kai does." The female smirks "Indeed I am and do. Lets land and I'll take that boulder off him it has its own gravity, Torankusu won't be able to get it off even with the help of Gohan and Prince Vegeta."
She uses her instantaneous movement and lands by the boulder, shortly after her Goku shows up after using instant transmission. The Cosmic Dragon turns to Vegeta "Your son is fine I've dealt worse damage to him than this. I know how you sayians are, 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' or something to that effect. It is pointless to get mad and fight me for I shall explain to you in a bit, how about you take Goku and Gohan over to meet Bardock while you visit your father I'll be there in a minute." Vegeta lets out a huff "You better." As she squatted down to pick up the boulder she quickly said right before they left "Watch it Prince Vegeta once you find out who I am you'll wish you never took that tone of voice with me. Here I will give you a few hints I'm believed to be nothing more than a mythological creature the only one to have an aura like mine." "Goku I forbid you to tell him." "Gohan your smart I know you have an interest in dragons because you once had a pet Dragon names Icarus." "In addition, you all are familiar with the Dragon of Spirit also known as Shenron and Dragon of Dreams also known as Porunga. Now go you are in the way. 'Good luck guessing' "
She flared her KI as she lifted the boulder and it disappeared, she jumped into the hole she put Trunks in and healed him. He got up rubbing his head once they were out of the hole she smacked him on the back of his head proclaiming, "You forgot again! You need to think fast, just how you forgot that I taught you the instant transmission move every time I pull that move on you is beyond me." Trunks gives her a discrediting look "Then tell me just how you managed to leave yourself open long enough for Goku to sneak behind you." She punches him in the arm "Yeah, fine I let my feelings fog my judgment". The protector chuckles and she retorts, "Hey, at least I admit it." He nods in agreement when she turns to face him and continues; "Besides you are still far useful and valuable to me". As she taps his nose, Trunks pulls his head back turning it slightly to the left with an eyebrow raised "Is that a fact?" she smiled "Yep, and maybe after your training is complete I think about that thing you're always thinking about." A light blush comes across his face and he clears his throat "I don't know what you are talking about." She glares at him and taps at her head "I'm all-knowing no use trying to lie about it you will only be lying to yourself. Now let us go I believe Gohan has figured out the riddle and it is pissing your father off because he is refusing to tell him claiming that it was 'simple'". Then she disappears using the instantaneous movement. Trunks pulls his hand over his face in exasperation and shakes his head. He decides to fly so he can have some time to think.
Once Aulier arrived she looked at Gohan who had a small grin and Prince Vegeta looked like he could murder someone then addressed Goku "Bring your wives and the two sons" he gives a curt nod a disappears and reappears with Bulma, Chichi, Videl, Goten, and Trunks. Upon seeing the two ill boys, she sighs and takes pity on them by conjuring up two dark colored vials of the "Monkey Bite Cure". "Here it will cure you of that wretched disease but I tell you there is a side effect. Because, it IS NOT the same cure you will get from the medical wing here. It is what I gave Torankusu or as you call him Mirai, speaking of which why is he not here yet. I swear he pouts and acts as if he is a wounded dog when I scold him not using his head and he repeats the same mistake over and over again and I'm always getting on him for that to be honest once he can get past it his training will be complete." The group looks at the duo; they shrug "What?" Bulma speaks up "These two are the same way, when they were younger they would pull pranks* and cause a lot of mischief getting in a lot of trouble afterwards." Aulier walks up to the two and asks "Out of the two of you who was normally the brains of the operation?" Goten automatically points to Trunks, the accused snaps at his friend "Some friend you are." Aulier turns to him "So were you?" Trunks began to stare at the ground and answers in a small voice "Yes Ma'am". The three Earth women begin to chuckle in spite themselves at this scene before them. Aulier places a hand to her ear "I'm sorry, what was that? My hearing is not how it used to be 10,000 years could do that to a person." Trunks grumbles under his breath then snaps his head up and replies in a voice just under a yell "I said, Yes Ma'am". Everyone that had been watching this scene unfold, including the group of full-blooded sayians were finding amusing, busted out laughing.
Goku walks over to Aulier and taps her on her shoulder; she glances at him becoming startled at seeing him with black hair and black eyes. Goku noticed this "I'm sorry I did not mean to startle you." She shakes her head "No, for a second there I thought you were your father, Druid Bardock." She said pointing in the direction of Bardock. Goku tilts his head in a quizzical manner "My father huh, his KI is similar to mine, well if you say so. If I were told that almost twenty years ago, I would not have believed you. Oh, before I forget I was going to tell you that I was going to go get Mirai for you." She responds, "Oh thank you". Goku disappears and reappears with Mirai in hand.
She walks up to her Protector, he looks away, with a sigh, she calls to Bardock "Druid Bardock can you toss me his sword and capsule case?" Bardock tosses them to her and catches both at the same time. The younger Trunks comment on the sword "it's the same." Aulier and Torankusu look at Trunks "The sword looks like the one Tapion gave me." Mirai asks his counterpart "did you bring it?" he nods "Want me to get it?" Mirai replies "sure, I'll come with you". They go to the ship and come back a few minutes later with a sword that looks identical, with a wave of her hand the two vials disappear "Don't worry I can re-conjure them I need my other hand free" everyone nods in agreement.
She straps both swords on her back in having the swords create an 'X' on her back, unsheathes them performs a couple of maneuvers and re-sheathes them. "Well for the most part they are identical but, despite the aura of time around Torankusu's sword they have different origins. Now Trunks I can enhance it for you just like I did his." Trunks replied, "I would like that." She unsnaps Mirai's Sword and hands it to him, and once again unsheathes Trunks sword and runs a hand over the flat side of the blade and an engraving appeared that said 'Don't lose faith in which you are.' "Now when both swords are together you have the full message" Videl asks "Ma'am what message do you mean?" as she hands trunks back his sword she replies, "The message all together applies to all the hybrid sayians including Pan and Princess Bulla. Separately each half applies to the Trunks of their time." Goku asks, "What does Mirai's say?" Torankusu replies, "'Never forget where you are from'."
Gohan narrows his eyes "I think I understand the message. It is because as hybrids we never really cared much for constant battle like a full-blooded sayian, but when we are called upon to help protect our home against forces that plan to destroy it. We begin to falter at some point in the fight before finding the courage to stand up to the force. I know this more than Goten and Trunks because at a young age I was thrown into battle I was always hesitant up until my fight with Cell but managed to defeat him at the cost of dad's life. When Majin Buu came around, I did not falter too much until he absorbed Piccolo and Gotenks and I was in a since left alone until dad came back and sometime after that he absorbed me as well. I think it is time you reveal yourself." The tall female smirked "I'm guessing you have figured it out". Gohan responds, "In fact I did you started to use your powers to give Prince Vegeta more time to figure out who you are but, on the flipside it supported my answer. When you said that the cure you would give Goten and Trunks was the same one you gave Mirai but it had a side effect. While you were testing, the swords I decided to check out the KI signatures of Mirai and Trunks like you were saying about the swords being the same just that the aura of time around Mirai's. It works the same way with KI, their KI signatures should be in fact identical just that Mirai's KI would have a slightly warped feeling due to the fact he isn't in his original time. Whereas, I looked harder I noticed the side effect you were talking about, Trunks registers as half sayian and Mirai's should to but it doesn't, it now register's under full sayian. You also mentioned Pan and Bulla as you know they are not with us because they are really too young to travel in space and would only get in the way if we were to fight. With the first clues, you gave about you being believed to only be a myth and brought up the fact I have and interest in dragons along with our familiarity with both eternal dragons of Earth and Namek. So right off the bat I was able to conclude that you were a powerful dragon and that your true form was purple in color the last piece of the puzzle was the color of your aura the only dragon to have a horse like mane, as the Aurora Borealis is The Cosmic Dragon the overseer of time and space."
She slowly claps her hand and responds, "Very Impressive, you are in fact correct but in this form you may call me Aulier". "Torankusu tell them why you are now with me I'm sure they are dying to know." He nods "After mom was shot and killed in a robbery of capsule corp., I was too sick to make chase because I was close to the final stages of the Simian Bitan Disease. I was close to giving up when Aulier showed up she gave me her blood, cured me, and as Gohan said it turned me full sayian. She used her powers and took me twenty years down in my timeline and earth was still in disrepair but at least had peace. So then, I offered her my services and she gave me a new name, which you have heard her call me 'Torankusu'. Just that the way she gave me her blood is different than how she will give it to my counterpart and Goten the way she gave it to me was similar to a transfusion so I was able to gain new abilities like the form you saw me fighting her in, called Dragon Mystic. I have also gained other abilities and learned techniques that Aulier taught me and helped me master, Sorry Goku, she taught me the instant transmission so you are not the only one."
A/N: Well that was long. I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know if anyone was too out of character.
