Previously on Part 28: The Cell Saga ended. After wishing upon Shenron, Kageto summoned the purple dragon Cyanuro. After a few wishes and a little discussion he was allowed to leave. Before the portal closed, a massive energy residue made its way through the portal. It belonged to none other than Shade... (creepy music here).

Previously on Part 21 (and I DO mean twenty-one):

"Woman! Where..." Vegeta said but was interrupted by Kageto's appearance, "K-Kageto, y-you're awake."

Bulma jumped up and stared at the bed. It was empty. She turned around and saw Kageto leaning on Destiny and Vegeta standing in the doorway.

"Kageto! You're awake!" she said a little more enthusiastic than Vegeta.

"He can't speak right now," Destiny said, "He needs to drink water, lots of water."

"I'll get right on that. Is there anything you needed, honey?"

"Uh... Yes, where did you put my battle armour?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I'm planning to participate in the 25th Budokai Tenkaichi World Tournament. I'm NOT going without my armour."

"I am busy repairing it. After that I'll have to wash it. I don't think you'll get it back by then. And it's not like you're totally unprotected. What are those other weak humans going to do to my man?"

"Hmph, they won't stand a chance."

KWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKW

"That would be great! When are we leaving?"

"Right now if you don't mind," Destiny said.

"Ok, let's go."

Tora jumped down from the computer and walked over to Destiny. He took hold of his shoulder and all of them disappeared in front of Bulma. They reappeared on a green field where Destiny opened a time hole. This time it went faster. They were surrounded by a white multi-colored bubble and then they disappeared. They were flying inside of the light-blue entity of Time.

Part 29: Back to the Future

(I always wanted to use that title for a chapter :p)

On a green field somewhere in the plains, a large light-blue sphere of light suddenly appeared. The air begun to spin around it and finally... Kageto, Vegeta and their respective crew appeared and Destiny as well.

"Remind me, Destiny," Kageto began, "Why did we have to travel to this point in Time again?"

"To take care of loose ends, Kageto," Destiny replied, "Do you remember when we went back in time after your second Fate changing dream? We're now where we left off. If we would have left this time hole open, it would have worked like a boomerang and hit us hard in the head."

"Right, I forgot this time hole was still open. Thanks for brining us here, Destiny."

"You're welcome. I'm still mad at you though for changing my plan."

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"

"Sorry does not cover the mistakes you've made and the ones you're going to make. Not in this job."

"Ok, can you tell me why we had to bring my brother and his crew along with us?"

"I just don't trust them to be alone in the past. Besides, when we were here before we went to the past, they were nowhere to be found. Also, I didn't want them to stay and bother Bulma while we were gone."

"You think of us as annoying pests?" Vegeta said furious.

"Nah, I think you're the only annoying pest around here, Vegeta. Why can't you adapt to our life and stop making everyone else angry at you? Your son is not the same as when he was a kid and you have to face it. Those comments of everyone being weak and someone else deserved being killed or injured are not appreciated at all. How many times did Kageto or anyone else have to hit you hard for commenting like that? You are bringing this upon yourself."

Vegeta stood speechless. He knew what he did was wrong. He had no response for Destiny.

"Power level approaching," Sixteen said, "Identifying... Power level belongs to Trunks."

"Trunks?! What is he still doing in this timeline?" Kageto asked.

Trunks landed in front of the group of fighters. His hair was longer than when they left him at the Lookout. His muscles were a little more defined.

"Hey, uncle, I sensed your arrival so I came over here to train..."

"Aw, that's so nice of you," Kageto began.

"... With Bardock."

"What?! What about me? Aren't you going to train with me?"

"If you want to, you could join but... You have that Book on your back."

"Hmph, why are you training anyway?"

"There's a Intergalactic Tournament coming up in two days. I'll be joining the Tournament. It also let's me spend more time with my mom in this timeline. I DID ask my mother first."

"So... You asked your mother to come and spend time with your mother?"

"And to participate in the Tournament."

"Hmph, and I'm stuck with this Book on my back."

"A Tournament, huh?" Fasha asked, "That sounds interesting."

"Yeah, I totally would want to join something like that. I'll definitely win," Tora said.

"Don't get your hopes up," Bardock added, "I want to participate in that Tournament as well. I wonder if we'll win money. With money we can buy food."

Bardock's mouth began to water at the thought of food. As a matter of fact, all of the Saiyans were now thinking about eating.

"So, Bardock, when can we train?" Trunks asked.

"Train? Oh, right, well I'm hungry. Maybe after we eat. I'll head over to Chi-Chi to see what she's cooking. I kind of grew fond of her food when we were training for the Cell Games."

"Yeah, I'll be careful around Gohan's mother, though, she can be very dangerous when she's depressed. After Goku died, she has been crying for a month or so, I heard. I hope she's alright."

"Whatever, it's not like she can boss me around," Bardock replied, "Let's go."

He and Trunks made their way to East District 439. The group has now temporarily lost a member.

"Ok, let's head back to Capsule Corp." Kageto said.

"I don't think I will be joining you," Sixteen said, "I will fly to Snow Village and help Eighter protect it. We have... a lot in common."

"That's great, Sixteen! I'm happy that you have a friend. Tell Eighter I said hi."

Sixteen flew off to the North and disappeared into the horizon.

"I will be leaving as well, brother," Vegeta said.

"Why are you leaving, Vegeta?" Kageto asked, "There's enough room for you and these two at Capsule Corp. Why don't you stay?"

"We're Saiyans, brother, we fly around the universe to find strong opponents to fight. I can't stay forever. I want to train to become stronger than you. When I'm ready, I'll find you here. This is goodbye."

"Please take care of yourself."

"Don't worry about me, I'm immortal thanks to you."

"That's exactly why I worry."

"Aw, Koji," Fasha said, "You look so lonely standing there by yourself. Don't you have anyone to love you?"

"Hmm," he said.

"Come here, give me a hug."

Fasha gave Koji a goodbye hug. A tear trickled down the cheeks of the usually neutral face.

"Let's go," Vegeta ordered and all three of them flew back to the south-west desert where their space pod landed in the first place. Their team have been reduced to Kageto, Tora, Fasha and Destiny.

"*Sigh* Big brother is growing up. I remember when I used to hate him. He made my life miserable. Now he's still an arrogant fool but he's MY arrogant fool. I feel like I'M the big brother in this relationship sometimes."

"I understand," Destiny said, "Someone has to stop him from acting the way he acts in public. Oh God, he's going to annoy the rest of the universe!" All four of them started to laugh. "Everyone, be on your guard, the King of Saiyans is coming through." More laughter. The Creator appeared in front of them again.

"You called?" he asked.

"Would you stop doing that?" Destiny asked, "What was it this time? The word 'King'?"

"Nope, it's still 'God' the last time I checked. I WAS getting bored anyway."

"You really can't go one second without me, huh?" Destiny asked.

"Nope, when are you done?"

"*Sigh* Alright, I'm going with you. Kageto, Tora, Fasha, I'll be leaving now. You know where to find me."

"Yeah, don't worry, Destiny. He will understand all of the fighting strategies... one day! Hahahaha."

"Did you just call me dumb?" The Creator asked. "You know I can let lightning strike down upon you, right?"

"That's kids play. I endured stronger energy blasts than that."

"OK, I'll personally appear in a different body and punch you hard in the stomach. That'll teach you a lesson. You won't be able to see it coming. I'll be disguised as a regular human walking around the city."

"Would you go that far to get back at me?"

"Anything to ease the boredom."

"Ok, I'm game for that. *Sigh* This Book is really taking its toll. I wish I could finally master its weight. My back is killing me. And when I have to sleep, I have to sleep on top of it. Do you know how uncomfortable that is?"

"Then you just lay on your stomach," Destiny replied.

"For a huge weight to crush me while I'm sleeping?! Hell no, I can't even sleep on a bed, anymore. It's too heavy to take it."

"*sigh* Do you want to take off the Book at night?" Destiny asked.

"Yes please. It would make my training a lot better if I get a good night sleep. I'll wake up stronger and fit in the morning. Then I'll put it back on."

"Alright, I will allow this. Now I have to leave. Let's go home... Creator." At the pronounciation of the word 'home' he hesitated a little. Was he really considering The Realm of Supremes as a home? They disappeared in front of the Saiyans. It was getting dark and they decided to call it a day. Kageto used his Instant Transmission to teleport them all to Capsule Corp because he couldn't fly, of course.

"Bulma, we're back!" Kageto announced as they walked into the lab."

"Really? You were gone for a few hours. What's different?"

"We were gone for a few weeks, but that's time travel to you."

"Oh, that sounds fun."

"Anyway, we're going to sleep. It's been a long day."

All three of them went to their rescpective rooms and collapsed on their bed. Kageto, of course, removed the Book before doing that.

The next morning...

"Good morning," Kageto said to his crew and Mrs. Briefs as he entered the kitchen. It was the first regular morning in weeks. The first morning Vegeta actually joined the rest at the breakfeast table. Being Saiyans, they did what they do best: devour large amounts of food.

"Do any of you want more bacon and eggs?" Mrs. Briefs asked with her eternal smile.

"Ah, I'm full," all of the Saiyans said in unison. "How can you keep up with us, Mrs. Briefs?" Kageto asked, "We are four Saiyans! We can eat half a dinosaur each!"

"I like cooking challenges. You guys are the best 'customers' I 've had so far."

"I never thought someone could actually get me this full except for a Chinese Restaurant. They have a LOT of food. Sometimes you wonder how they'll ever get rid of all of that food."

"Well, I HAVE to feed the heroes of Earth. You keep the planet safe."

"Aw, that's the best compliment someone has ever given me," Kageto said.

"Hmph, can the two of you stop with this lovey dovey crap?" Vegeta asked, "By the way, where's my father? I haven't seen him today."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Vegeta," Fasha said, "He took his spaceship and left. Something about training to become as strong as Kageto."

Kageto brought a glass of juice to his lips but he accidentally crushed it in his hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry for the mess, Mrs. Briefs," Kageto apologized, "I guess I don't know my own strength. This has to be the power obtained by training with the Book."

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it. Here, have another glass."

Mrs. Briefs poured another glass and proceeded to clean up the mess.

"So, Vegeta, anything new?" Kageto asked, "Planning to enter the Intergalactic Tournament?"

"No, what's the use? Kakarot is dead. I won't be able to fight him anymore. I WILL join the 25th Budokai Tenkaichi, though."

"Why aren't you participating? It'll be fun! Besides, you DO have your son to fight against if you participate."

"Hmph, that weakling?"

"Are you calling my son weak?!" Bulma said as she walked in, "Even I know my son is stronger than you. They told me that he matched Cell's perfect form but not his speed."

"Impossible! How could that boy be as strong as Cell? You're out of your mind, woman!"

"Mind your language, Vegeta," Kageto said calmly.

"I'm the strongest Saiyan now. Kakarot is dead. I'm not fighting until he's revived."

"What if something would happen and the Earth is in danger again?" Bulma asked. She had no idea how right she was.

"Yeah, Vegeta, do tell," Kageto added, "What would you do?"

"I won't do anything. Let that Kakarot's son deal with it. That brat knows how to break someone's Saiyan pride." And Vegeta also didn't know how right he was.

"Well, I know I'm rooting for my son in this Intergalactic Tournament in a few days. You could at least go and watch him with me."

"No, I'm not going anywhere. My life has no meaning now that Kakarot is gone."

"What's this? You're whining because Kakarot is dead as if he was your husband? This time I'M telling you to man up. Don't let someone else be the reason you fight. As you know, he could be training in the Other World as we speak! (And Kageto has no idea how wrong he is.) You're not doing any effort in becoming stronger here in the living world. You're sitting around whining because your only opponent is dead. You have to train in case he comes back so he won't outclass you."

"Hmph, I guess you're right. I'm still not participating though. I will follow your advice and train."

"I'm always right," Kageto replied, "By the way, Fasha, I'm finally reconsidering your offer to but new clothes for me. I guess we'll do that today."

"You know," she replied, "Looks tell everything about a person. If you're walking through the street with a broken armour, it does not look good for you. People wouldn't want to tlak to someone like that."

"Oh, that reminds me. Bulma, can you fix my armour as well?"

"Sure, Kageto, I'll do it as soon as I'm finished with Vegeta."

"If you don't mind, I'm going to train now," Vegeta said as he stood up from the table.

"Oh no, you don't. You promised ME we would go shopping! We're going to get you new clothes as well. It's convenient that Kageto and Fasha have to go as well. What are you doing for the day, Tora."

"To be honest Bulma," he replied, "Whatever those two are doing."

And so I'm going to summarize the day with snippets of words:

No! I'm not putting that on!... Woman! Get that thing out of my face... Please try it on... It's a pink shirt!... Hahahaha... BOINK! What? Have you never seen a pink shirt before?... Try this and this and this and this... You guys look hilarious... You're next, Tora... Why me? No!... You were laughing at them...

That's how it turned out for the three Saiyans. They each got two bags of clothing to hold while the women were walking behind them cracking jokes.

"We need to find an excuse for the pink shirt," Kageto whispered. He was walking in the middle. "It got incinerated during a fight or something."

"Yeah, good idea," Tora said.

"You guys go on with that idea if you want," Vegeta said, "I'm going to stick to beating the hell out of anyone who dares to laugh and comment about it. Woman! We're going home."

"Ok, Fasha has offered me a ride. You guys go on ahead. We'll stay a little longer here."

"Hmph, women," Vegeta said as he ascended. He flew back to the Capsule Corp. as fast as he could to train.

"We might as well join him," Tora said. They followed Vegeta and arrived back at home moments later.

Scene Change: Bardock and Trunks

Trunks delivered Bardock a right hook. Delivered is kind of not the word to describe it because Bardock stepped aside to dodge it. Trunks unleashed a flurry of attacks but didn't manage to connect any of them with Bardock's face.

"You have to hit with more accuracy," Bardock instructed, "In a fight like this, speed is not important."

"Speed is not important? Weren't you there when Cell was kicking my ass? I was a match to his power but not his speed."

"That's why I said in THIS fight. We can practice your speed some other time."

"No, why don't we go all out? Let's spar."

"Are you sure about that? Do you really want to go against me?"

"I fought against you once. What difference will it make now?"

"This time I won't go easy on you."

"Won't go ea... You don't mean it! You were going easy on me during our last fight?"

"Yes, Kageto, Tora, Fasha and I are a little stronger than Gohan's full power. We can transform into a Super Saiyan 2 as well."

"Well then, I'm going to do my best to reach that level. It's not like I'm not there yet. I just need to train more and push harder to reach it."

"That's why I'm not holding back."

Bardock jumped in reverse and stood several yards away. They were intensly waiting to begin the fight. They were standing on a green field, the same green field Trunks has undergone his Super Saiyan training with Gohan. The long grass swayed back and forth to the rhythm of the wind. Suddenly both fighters felt like it was the moment and they leapt forward. Bardock of course unleashed his signature move.

"Spirit Cannon!"

Trunks deflected it with ease this time and performed a flying kick. Bardock moved aside and jabbed him in the back causing him to lose his balance. He landed on the ground and turned around quickly.

"Buster Cannon!" he yelled as he stretched his hands next to his body and gathered dark-blue energy onto his hands. The blast gathered behind his back and he launched it. It was in the form of a cloud of dark-blue energy with two spheres in it.

Bardock was unable to move aside and held out both his hands in front of him. This caused the blast to split and pass him at the sides. Trunks had it all planned and kneed Bardock sideways in the stomach causing him to hunch over and his eyes to bulge out. He quickly recovered and aimed his sparking blue hand two inches away from Trunks' face.

"Back off or I'll shoot," Bardock said.

Trunks had no choice but to back off. He couldn't possibly deflect an attack that close. This caused Bardock to regain his advantage and he struck him in the chest with the palm of his hand. All of the air got explelled from Trunks' lungs.

*inhales deeply* "Not fair, you know." he said as he countered with a kick in the head. The result of this was Bardock walking backwards while trying to stop his head from spinning. Trunks had the perfect chance to...

"Finish Buster!" he yelled as he dropped the huge yellow energy ball from his vantage point in the sky. It fully engulfed the warrior with the green armour and red hairband. But wait...

"You missed me," Bardock said floating above him. A simple elbow was all it took for Trunks to be smashed to the ground.

"How did you...?" Trunks asked.

"Instant Transmission. Comes in handy, you know... My turn. Check out my new power-up: Blazing Spirit!"

Bardock's blue aura suddenly flared up. His ki was rising rapidly. His muscled bulged and his speed multiplied.

"W-what...?" was all Trunks could say. The next few seconds were a blur. Bardock's moves were too fast for Trunks to perceive. There was not much he could do but feel the sharp pain in the areas on his body Bardock targeted. Just as quick as it began, it ended. His aura disappeared and he was floating there with a blue sphere in his hand.

"I told you I won't go easy on you. I'm giving you five seconds to recover, Trunks."

Trunks was still dizzy from the blows Bardock gave him. Everything on his body hurt. He's got no choice but to transform.

"GRRRAAAAAAAHH!" His hair elevated at the sides and turned blond. His power level rose significantly.

"Spirit..." Bardock began but Trunks beat him to it. He grabbed Bardock's wrist and hurled him down and...

"Burning Attack!" he yelled as he unleashed the orange sphere. It hit the still spinning Bardock in the back causing him to fall down in the grass. A big hole could be seen on the back of his armour.

"Not bad," he said as he lifted himself off the ground, "Guess I have to kick it up a notch," he said as he transformed as well. Both Super Saiyans rushed towards each other with the intention of landing their hits. They ended up mirroring each others moves creating sonicbooms whenever their fists collided.

"I hope you can keep up," Bardock said, "I hate having to win so easily. I haven't even started yet."

"Oh, I won't let you win so easily. You're not going to win at all."

Bardock dodged Trunks' next punch and grabbed his entire arm. He spun him around quickly and let him go.

"Final Spirit... Cannon!" he yelled as he unleashed a compressed energy ball filled with a massive amout of energy. Trunks, still dizzy from the Dragonthrow and still falling, couldn't possibly defend himself against the Full Blooded Saiyan's Ultimate Attack. Just as it seemed like the ball would hit him, he disappeared.

"What the...?! Where did he go?" Bardock asked no one in particular as his eyes scanned the area. He spotted Trunks laying on the ground straining to get up. His Final Spirit Cannon touched down and exploded. A knee made contact with the back of his neck causing him to fall in the path of the explosion.

"Grraaaah!" he yelled as he created an energy barrier to shield himself from the explosion. He turned around to see who attacked him. Floating in a blue suit and white cape was... Gohan.

"Hey, Grandpa," he said with a nervous Goku smile on his face (the kind where Goku puts his hand behind his head and smiles nervously).

"Gohan? What are you doing here? I thought you were studying."

"Nah, mom gave me some time off to do whatever I want before the Intergalactic Tournament. I sensed you and Trunks over here so I came."

"Hmph, it's practically Trunks and I training. I was getting bored. He's not a challange for me. How about you team up with him and you fight me?"

"That's a great idea! I can also train for the Tournament like this."

"Train? You're not going to train with me. You're going to fight me. I'm won't be holding back against you or him. You have to give it your all if you want to win against me, boy."

Trunks flew up to the duo. He was surprised to see Gohan.

"Gohan? You saved me? What are you doing here?"

"Hey, Trunks, I got some free time from my mom. I sensed you two fighting so I flew over here. What are you doing in our timeline?"

"I came here to participate in the Intergalactic Tournament. I was fighting with Bardock before you arrived."

"You forgot to mention you were losing," Bardock added.

"Ha ha, I'm not going to lose so easily," Gohan answered.

"And why is that?" Bardock asked.

"You saw what I can do. I defeated Cell when no one else could."

"No one else cou... HA, don't make me laugh, boy. Kageto, Fasha, Tora and I could have vaporized Cell whenever we wanted to. We were just holding back."

"Why did you hold back, grandpa? Why didn't you give it your all?"

"If I did, you wouldn't have attained that power, Gohan. I was just doing my job."

"I can onlt believe it when I see it," Gohan said.

"Same here, Bardock," Trunks added, "Are you really as strong as Gohan."

"No, I'm not as strong as Gohan."

"But you just said..." Trunks protested.

"I'm stronger than Gohan. My power is unrivaled."

"Why don't we fight and find out?" Trunks asked.

"Big mistake." Bardock replied. He did a spinning kick hitting both half-Saiyans in the face. "Double Spirit Cannon!" Bardock screamed as he backed up and launched both energy spheres on the fighters. The energy balls were not strong enough to cause an impact because they were formed almost instantly. Gohan was caught off guard and was hit head-on. Trunks, knowing Bardock a little better than Gohan, was expecting something like this after the kick. He deflected it with ease and moved it to attack.

It was going to be a long training session.

End of Part 29

Hello, KW here. I'm wondering if you understood why they went back to the future. I also want to know if you want a special chapter dedicated to this last battle: Bardock vs Trunks and Teen Gohan. As you can probably guess, my next chapter is going to be Bojack Unbound. After that I'll have to decide what to write next. Revenge of Cooler before it's too late? Or Broly? Please review or PM me with your answer.

Answer to Vegito73 review: I know I had too many characters in tow. That's why I planned in this chapter to 'get rid' of most of them. As you know, Hatchiyack is now somewhere in storage. Let's assume there's a secret 'Area 51'-like storage belonging to the Capsule Corporation. As I mentioned in Raichi's Revenge, Kageto and his crew went there to get Slug's soldier gear. There was a medium sized space pod in there (Turles' ship) and a mothership (King Cold's ship). Hatchiyack is now added to that collection. Something might happen in the future and where he might reboot and kill everyone... You never know. That's for you to find out later.
