Hey guys, sorry I broke my timetable. As I said before, I have a lot to do in so little time. Okay, so this is the chapter you guys have been waiting for. Ok, just a heads-up. When summer comes, this story will be on hiatus. I know, I should have more time to write these during the summer, but I don't have internet access at home. So, I'll try to come on the site as much as I can to try and keep this story alive. Ok, without further ado, The next chapter to my story. Enjoy!

Around us, the world turned an orange color, with time energy swirling around us. No matter where you looked, you could see the flow of time working against us. We could see flashes of the past, present, and future. The years were labeled around us, so it looked as if the world was set to have subtitles. We saw the year we wanted, and drifted into it. After a bright flash of orange, green, and white, we were set down over the Badlands, the home of the Gamemaster. Looking over the horizon, you could see the sun's first rays, promising a hopeful day to come.

We could hear sounds of fighting in the distance, the screams of the legendary fighters. They being beaten badly. Drastically overpowered, they were being thrashed around, caught in the effects of the Gamemaster's rampage. You could see the sparks of energy from miles away, and the effects of the fight were felt all over the world.

Jack and I looked towards the fight, ready for anything. I looked at him, and he looked at me. "Ready?" I asked. He looked at me. "Yeah." We powered up and sped off towards the battle. While flying, I could notice the faintest details about the Gamemaster's power level. I could sense that something had set him off. It hadn't been some trivial thing either, it was something that was bothering his soul. His insanity was caused by something. No matter how small it seemed to someone else, it meant the world to him.

We arrived at the scene just in time to see the now adult Gotenks getting pummeled by the enraged Saiyan. The fusion wasn't doing much to the beast man, but it was still stable enough to keep the boys alive. You could hear his pained screams even from how high up we were. Vegeta and Piccolo were down, while Goku and the rest tried to protect the fleeing citizens. My great-something grandfather, Uub, was trying to draw the Gamemaster's attention, successfully. As soon as the Saiyan reached him, he used the Instant Transmission technique to teleport away, staying alive and giving the others a chance to recover and regroup.

We descended right in front of the Z-fighters, giving them a good shock. Goku asked, "Who are you?" I looked back at him and answered, "We're here to help, Goku." He was taken aback. "You know who I am?" We both gave him a nod, keeping an eye on Uub and the Gamemaster. "Well, I'm flattered, but you have to go. It's not safe here." He tried to pull me back, but I didn't budge. He did it again, harder, with the same result. He gave me a surprised look and let go of me. "Well, you're not human. At least not fully, anyway. The only human that is strong enough to not let me move them is Uub." I looked at him with a straight face and said, "Yeah, we're his descendants from the future." The Z-fighters gave us a questioning look, but decided to listen to us. Piccolo said, "Okay, you've got our attention, now, what do you want?" Jack replied, "We wanna help, Namekian. I know the oh-so great Piccolo was renowned for his bluntness, but really? Why else would we be here?" I tossed them some Senzu beans. "Here, wake Vegeta and the others up. Krillin...you, Tien, Piccolo and Yamcha evacuate the humans. We've got this."

They looked like they were going to argue when Gohan spoke up. In the years since the Shadow Dragons, Gohan had resumed his training. He could now power up to Super Saiyan 3, with even more control over it than the others have. "No, guys, he's right. Uub can distract him while you guys take everyone away." They nodded and flew away with the humans in tow. Gohan looked at us and nodded. He must remember us from our previous missions. He was young, but he remembered us showing up out of nowhere, protecting him from Guldo's attack.

The remaining Z-fighters-Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, and Majin Buu-stayed behind. We watched Uub distract the Gamemaster for a while, then powered up to full power. We stayed in our base forms in order to conserve energy. We knew this would be a long fight. I was actually getting excited. That must be Goku's genes going through me. I thought, 'I can't wait to use my ultimate on this guy. I can't believe this is really happening! My great-something grandfather, Goku Jr., had a friend that used this technique. It will be a good chance to test-run it.' I came out of my own head long enough to hear Vegeta asking for a plan.

"Simple. Take him down. By any means necessary. But Goku, Vegeta...don't fuse. That will take the fun out of this." I smirked while the others looked at me in terror. Goten asked, "What?! Are you insane?" I looked at him with a confident smirk. "Nah, just creative. Everyone ready?" The younger, half-Saiyan looked worried, but Trunks gave him a 'thumbs up', calming his nerves. They did the fusion dance and I made a mental note of the mirroring steps. 'That might come in handy for later.', I thought.

We powered up and floated up to the Gamemaster, surrounding him. I screamed, "Hey you!" He turned towards me and his eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"he asked. I laughed. More than I should have. "Let's just say that I'm here to beat you worse than they did. In this form, I'm as strong as an Ascended Super Saiyan 3. Trust me, I've tested it. This is my cousin Jack. He's full human, while I have Goku and Gohan's blood in me." Everyone, including the Gamemaster, was surprised by this new information. Especially Vegeta. "You what?!" Why do Kakarot's offspring always have the most power? What happened to my bloodline?" I turned to look at him and answered, "Huh? Oh yeah. Sometime down the road, your line and Goku's crossed. I have more of Goku's blood, but I have some of yours as well. And I'm a direct descendant of Uub. So yeah. Need anything else grandpa?" I smiled. He seemed not to like that comment, but said nothing. Uub was shocked to say the least. I could only imagine what was going through his head right now.

"Enough!" The Gamemaster had been slowly getting his strength back, and he was ready to attack again. "I shall end you here and now!" He lunged at me and I feinted a strike to his ribs, only to spin away and slam my elbow into his back. He bellowed in pain and I kicked him away. I screamed, "Jack!" As we had been training for years together, we knew most of each others moves. He bombarded the ape man with yellow ki blasts as he used his Super Barrage Wave attack. We knew he was recovering, so we backed away and got ready. The Z-fighters regrouped after their initial shock and joined us in our attack.

When the Gamemaster came out of the smoke, Gotenks, Gohan, and Uub attacked him. They were swatted away after a few quick, powerful punches. Then the Sayian turned on the remaining four. Goku and Vegeta readied themselves and attacked, both charging up to a full power Super Saiyan 4. While he was fighting them, Jack and I prepared a tandem move. "Ka...Me...Ha...Me...HAAAAAAAA!" Both of us fired as soon as the others got out of the way. The Gamemaster was hit head on and he screamed, "Ahhhh!" We all floated down and Gotenks ran over to us. "We did it! We can't feel his energy anymore! He must be gone!" I looked at him smiling. "Yeah, I guess so."

We started to walk away when we heard a huge crash. Jack nodded at me and turned Ultra. I did the same and we all blasted off to see the cause of the noise. We arrived just in time to see the ape man rise. He looked at us angrily and disappeared. No one could see him, much less keep up with him, or even feel his Ki. He appeared out of nowhere and attacked. Then, he disappeared again before any of us could counter him.

After a few minutes of this, I got tired of it. "Form a ring around me!" They did as I said and went full power, each protecting a side. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I searched for his energy, combing the Badlands for any trace of his existence. I found his energy. It was…"Behind us!" We all turned to see the Sayian crashing through the mountain behind us and burying his fist into Jack's stomach. "J-Jack...JACK!" I screamed. He fell to the ground, unconscious. I had promised my aunt, his mother, that I'd bring him home safe. He was family. I'm not about to break that promise. "Noooo!" I charged the Gamemaster and attacked him with a flurry of punches and kicks. That only made him angrier. He started to beat me. First, he jabbed his knee into my stomach, then, when I doubled over, he stabbed my spine with his elbow. Before I could fall, he grabbed me out of the air and held me there, choking me. The others tried to help, but they were batted away and blasted.

I started to feel weak, not capable enough to take him down. In my ear, he said,"This is your end, little one." I couldn't do anything but watch as he punched me mercilessly, taking the life out of me, slowly but surely. My cries echoed throughout the Badlands, and woke Jack up. I yelled and screamed for help, but none came. He tore at me, scratching layer upon layer of skin off, making me bleed. I felt myself start to slip away. Then, I heard a scream.

Jack had charged the Gamemaster in Ultra Form, the violent purple and black aura surrounding him. He was furious. He tried his best to save me by landing blows on the Saiyan's face, neck, and torso. The Gamemaster was injured, and he let me fall. I hit the ground with a very audible thud. I opened my eyes and could see the fight. Jack was being toyed with, but he didn't care. He went full power and hit the ape man as fast and as powerful as he could.

The Gamemaster was tired of this. I could see in his eyes. He grabbed Jack by the arm and held him in the air. I heard him say, "Goodbye boy!" Then...he stabbed his arm through Jack. I could see my cousin's face. He was in so much pain. And I was helpless to stop it. The Gamemaster let him fall, blood falling from his hand. It seemed like it took forever for Jack to hit the ground. When he did, he landed right beside me. His eyes were still open. I touched his arm, trying to get a reaction from him. When he didn't move, I shoved at least five Senzu beans down his throat. I was panicking. I sat there for a few minutes, waiting. he didn't wake up, and I felt a few tears come down my face.

"He was bold…" The Gamemaster started. "...but he was foolish. And you will suffer the same fate." I could hear him walking towards me, but I didn't care. What was I going to tell...My head shot up. His family...our family. What was I going to tell them? That I had failed? That I had let him die in vain? No, he wouldn't die for nothing. My anger bunched up inside me. It needed a release. I focused it into a point. He said, "You will die. Just like the others will, and just like he did. That was over the line. I had had enough of this. He took that last step towards me, I let it out. I let it all out. The only thing you could hear for miles was my scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" My power level shot up, past heights yet unreached. Past Gohan's, past Vegeta's...past Goku's. Smoke curled up around me and I kept screaming. My power doubled, no… it tripled, Goku's. The smoke dissipated and I stepped forward, my hair standing up, a flashing yellow color. I had done it. I had finally achieved Super Saiyan. I looked down at my hands. "This...THIS IS WHAT IT TOOK!? MY COUSIN DYING?! If that was the case, I don't want this power! I want him back!" The Gamemaster was gathering himself when I turned on him. "AND BECAUSE OF YOU, I'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. HE HAD A LIFE TO LIVE, AND YOU ROBBED HIM OF IT. FOR THAT, YOU'LL PAY!" I rushed him, and for the first time, I could actually injure him.

He screamed, "AHHH!", and held his now broken nose. "You little nothing! I could crush you if I…AHHH!" I had punched him several miles away and was extremely angry. I looked back down at my cousin's body. I winced and turned away. I could feel the tears coming back again. "I'm sorry Jack, I couldn't save you. But...I WILL kill him. I will avenge you. I love you, man. See you on the other side." I looked at his body one last time and flew after the Gamemaster, with new purpose. To kill him.

Unknown to me, Jack's body twitched and he opened his eyes. "Uub, no…" Gohan, now awake, picked him up. "You'll be ok. I promise." He looked after me. "But he won't..."

To be continued…

Whew! Guys I'm sorry for the late update, I really am. But my work has been working ME over. I haven't had much time to write, but I WILL progress the story. Again, I'm sorry. And to make it up to you, the next chapter will probably be mostly a fight scene. It will switch P.O.V.s from Gohan, Jack and obviously, Uub Jr. I know that I have made it so that Jack seems underpowered, and Uub too powerful, but that will be fixed soon enough. Jack will go to the next level when Uub seems as though he's getting too powerful. And guess what? (Spoilers ahead) There will be Androids! Woo Hoo! They will be extremely powerful. They will invade Tokitoki City. (Yes, I know. Xenoverse Alert!)(End Spoilers)

Again, sorry about the late update. Next chapter soon...probably. Anyway, Dragiam20 here. Cya later! XD Chapter 3 up!
