Quint, Nitro, Runa, Brusselle, and Samphire materialized in a mountainous wasteland. The sun beat down on them, and sounds of combat echoed through the stone. Quint's scouter beeped- they were in Age 762.

Nitro turned to them. "Let's set some ground rules. First, absolutely no Super Saiyans."

"Why not?" asked Sam.

Nitro explained, "Vegeta has a particular interest in the Super Saiyan legend. If he sees Brusselle flying around in that form months before Goku becomes one, it'll cause even more problems." Looking at the Saiyans, he asked, "Do either of you still have tails?"

Sam answered. "Brusselle does, but mine's been removed."

"Good." Nitro responded. "I assume your tail's underneath your belt? Like that, you two should pass for Earthlings. Vegeta thinks that Goku, Nappa, and he are the only Saiyans left. He has to keep thinking that." The Cryojin turned to Runa. "You and I will hang back for now."

Runa pouted. "Whyyyyy?"

"Because Vegeta will recognize me as a Cryojin, and your race doesn't exist yet. We have to be careful not to affect time while protecting it."

"So I guess you're the leader?" asked Quint, scowling.

"Lighten up buddy," said Brusselle. "It's a valid point. If you wanna lead, either start spouting good advice or wait until we organize an election."

Quint snorted. "Fine, let's go." He flew toward the battle, Brusselle and Sam following. He looked at the battlefield. He saw a short bald man dressed in orange, cradling a body in a similar garb with long, wild hair. They were surrounded by dozens of small creatures, mostly green, although Quint saw some of blue and yellow too. Those colorful ones were glowing with dark purple energy. Farther away, a Namekian and a larger Earthling, also bald, were facing down a towering Saiyan in black and yellow armor. The Earthling was clutching a his stump of an arm, then collapsed. Must be Nappa. Which means he's Vegeta, thought Quint, looking at the short Saiyan with spiked up hair, descending to the ground behind Nappa. He was saying something.

"I'm tired of waiting for Kakarot! If he hasn't come by now, he's not going too. Now you die!"

Quint turned to Brusselle. "Vegeta has to live, right?" The Saiyan woman nodded. "Ok," Quint said, "I'm going to go carve up their mooks." He sped off toward the green creatures.

Quint launched a barrage of weak ki blasts, scattering the creatures like roaches. He looked at the baldy. "What are these things called?"

The man sat stunned for a while before answering. "The Saiyans called them Saibamen. They killed Yamcha!" He looked down at his dead friend, tears forming. Then he looked back at Quint. "I'm Krillin. Who are you?"

Quint turned away. "No one you care about." He saw a Saibaman crawling close, getting ready to pounce. Quint grabbed the handle of his sword.

The Saibaman lunged, and the Z-Sword flashed. The gremlin's torso fell away from its legs, before both pieces exploded into a fine red mist. Quint brought his blade back up into a ready position. Then the rest of the Saibamen leapt at him.


As Quint sped off, Brusselle looked at the two enemy Saiyans, then at Sam, raising an eyebrows. Sam rolled his eyes. "Are you really going to make me do this?"

Brusselle grinned. "Come on, this opportunity is too good to pass up. Besides, don't you want to know who the best bald bodyguard to Saiyan royalty with a bit of facial hair is?" She punched him in the arm. "Or are you scared of Nappa?" With that, she rushed at Vegeta.

Vegeta was about to blast the Namekian when Brusselle kicked him at Mach 4. He went crashing through a rock spire, and then stopped himself in the air. Brusselle hovered in front of him. The Prince looked her over, and then asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Brusselle shrugged. "Old family?" she said, and then charged her Masenko and fired. Vegeta leapt over it and flew at her, blasting all the way. Brusselle deflected them with her gloved hands, then caught Vegeta's right hook to her face and countered with a kick to his ribs. She slammed her fist into his cheek, sending him spinning. But the Prince used the momentum of the spin to catch her head with his boot, dazing Brusselle. Pressing the advantage, Vegeta pounded her with punches and kicks, before throwing her into a mountain. He followed up with an energy blast volley, flattening the mountain.

Brusselle sat up and shook herself off. The outer layer of her gi was torn, and she had some scrapes. The rest of the exam would have to wait, as she saw Vegeta flying toward her with murder in his eyes. Brusselle vanished a nanosecond before his fist hit the earth, shaking the peaks surrounding them. She reappeared behind the Prince, hitting his back with a pink energy shot. Enraged, Vegeta planted his foot into the stone and sent a huge blue blast at Brusselle. She met it with her own, the energy clashing in the air. Brusselle put more power into it, overwhelming the Prince and engulfing him.


Runa sat with Nitro, watching the fight unfold. Yeah, it was cool, but it would be cooler if she was there. There had to be someone she could fight…

Quint was still cutting up the little green guys (Runa still hadn't decided if they were cute or creepy). The bald guy in orange was helping, but he was clearly struggling to keep up. After slicing three in half with a ki disc, he paused to take a breath, only for one to leap up behind him… only for Quint to hurl his sword at it. The blade splattered the creature and sunk up to the hilt in the stone behind it.

Sam was fighting the bald Saiyan (Runa giggled at the amount of bald people here) with a green guy, a Namekian. The two Saiyans seemed evenly matched; the Namekian was struggling to even get an attack in. Sam surrounded his fists in red Ki, and pummeled the other Saiyan before smashing him to the ground. The Namekian took that opportunity to blast the downed warrior with continuous Ki blasts.

Brusselle was artfully dodging the attacks of the short Saiyan. His armor was torn up, and he seemed incredibly angry. Then she noticed a small child. He was watching the Namekian fight the big Saiyan. Someone to fight? No, he was dressed like the Namekian rather than the Saiyan invaders. And if he was with the Saiyans, why wouldn't he be helping out?

Runa fell on her back to look skyward, only to see the most peculiar sight. Someone was flying above her. She blinked, and the someone was still there. Runa looked at Nitro, who was concentrating on watching the fight. Looking back up, the someone was descending to below the mountains. Runa smiled. Nitro would probably want me to find out what they're up to. She slowly slid off the rock formation they were sitting on.


Nitro surveyed the battle. So far, so good. Despite the exponentially increased number of Saibamen, Krillin had survived, thanks to Quint's efforts. Brusselle seemed to switch focus from fighting Vegeta to infuriating him through evasion. That was fine by Nitro; Goku still needed to fight him. Nappa was facing down Sam and Piccolo. Suddenly he turned to launch a huge blast of energy away from them… straight at Gohan, who had been watching from a distance. Sam looked in shock as Piccolo dashed between Gohan and the seemingly slow motion blast. It hit him full force. Nitro knew what happened next. He contacted Sam and Brusselle on the scouters. "Sam, Piccolo is down. That happened in the original timeline. You can stop holding back on Nappa now. Brusselle, Goku should be arriving. Vegeta's close to a manageable limit, so pull out when he arrives." Nitro smiled, and looked over to Runa. "Soon we'll be back-"

She wasn't there. Nitro looked around frantically, but couldn't find the Majin girl. Dammit. Where is she? He focused, and felt a faint power to the South. That must be her. Then he noticed another. Wait a minute… Why were there two powers? Who else was here? He flew off to find out.


Runa flew behind the mysterious person, keeping close to the ground. He was holding something, something pink, yellow, and green. From this distance, Runa realized that he was a she, and she was a Majin like her.

Her skin was pink, more vibrant than Runa's pale, orange-tinted version of the color. She wore a padded dark blue dress that came down to mid-thigh, where it met maroon, high topped socks. She had on a cape of the same maroon color, split into two pointy ends with a golden ball on each end.

The girl suddenly dropped to the ground. She landed in an open area next to a strange machine. It appeared to be a large metal cylinder on stilts, with a domed glass top. Runa remembered seeing things like those in Toki Toki City, when she first arrived. Could that be a Time Machine? Runa decided to find out.

"Hello!" she exclaimed, stepping into the clearing. "Who are you? Is that a Time Machine? Why do you have a Time Machine?

The other Majin yelped and jumped in fright. She turned around to look at Runa. "Me?" she asked. "I'm uuuh, a tourist!" She nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, I'm a Time Tourist. I'm just so interested in history, you know?"

Runa nodded. "Ok then I'll just see your passport, and you'll be free to go."

The girl blanched. "P-passport?"

Runa smiled. "Of course. You can't just travel through Time without permission from the Supreme Kai of Time. As a member of the Time Patrol, I'm obligated to ask for your identification."

As the girl scrambled, Runa heard a sudden voice behind her. "You can both drop the act." She spun around to see a huge man behind her. He had blue skin, white hair, and pointy ears. He wore a red and white suit with a strange symbol on it; it resembled an infinity sign, but with both ends removed so it looked like an 'X.'

"And who are you? Another tourist?" Runa asked.

The man ignored her. "Lily, you were followed. If she really is in the Time Patrol, then she'll be a problem. Fix the problem. Now." Then he walked past Runa toward the Time Machine.

"Hey!" Runa shouted. "You can't just push past a Patroll—." She was cut off by being blasted in the face. She looked to see Lily. "Sorry," she said, "but you can't leave here."

Runa balled her fists, and then grinned a bit. "Good. I was looking for a fight." The two Majins rushed at each other. Runa threw a punch only for Lily to vault over her arm and blast her in the back. Runa responded by throwing her hand back, stretching her arm of her fist struck her attacker across the face. She then leapt off the ground towards Lily. She struck an uppercut to the stomach, then two kicks to the face. Finally, Runa spun around, letting her arms stretch to become a whirlwind of limbs. They struck Lily, sending her flying into the sky.

Runa was prepared to follow when she felt an energy flare behind her. She turned to see the blue man charging a blast. He fired, the energy streaming towards Runa… only for it to be deflected. Runa opened her eyes to see Nitro standing in front of her, his arm extended from deflecting the blast.

The man put on a wicked smile. "Another Time Patroller I presume," her said snidely. "I suppose you'll ask what we're doing here too."

Nitro stood up straight, and then dropped into a fighting stance. "I'll find out from your broken body." Runa saw his aura flash, and he was upon the man in an instant. The Cryojin spun into a kick, which the mysterious man blocked with his forearm. Nitro used that temporary distraction to plunge his fist into his enemy's face. The man's head turned with the force of the blow, but he didn't even lose his footing. Slowly, he turned his head back, pushing Nitro's fist back as well. Then his own fist rocketed into Nitro's chin. The Cryojin flew into the air faster than sound, and his attacker quickly followed suit. Runa prepared to follow as well, but felt an arm around her neck.

Lily slammed Runa into the ground, and then unleashed a flurry of blows upon her stunned body. Runa tried to block, but she just couldn't. So she did the one thing she could do. She screamed.

The force of Runa's shout sent Lily flying off her. Runa got up and rushed at her. Lily did the same. They met in the air, arms locked. Then Runa slammed her head forward into Lily's. The other Majin recoiled in pain, only for Runa to send her flying into a mountain. She looked up. Nitro was moving, and fighting the blue man. Relieved, Runa turned her attention back to Lily, and sprung back into battle.
