*AN*

Q. Jmac99- We'll the new z warriors r fucked two Majin and a copy of 18 trunks and Gohan r gonna need a miracle.

A. Haha yeah things aren't looking that hot for everyone at the moment, of course who knows what might happen? :P

Q. thedarkpokemaster- Damn another Majin Buu well that sure is a big twist, so does that mean this one is female? after all even in the nwer games there are females of the race. But damn what a shock I will just have to wait and see what you will do next. Also Yay for no Pan/Trunks forgot to say that first time, yeah not a fan of them a a couple.

Q. PyrosolracIII- Hmm. Will that second Majin happen to be a female? A different version of Buu?

A. Since the questions coincide for the most part I decided to answer them together. Sorry I usually give little spoilers here and there, but this one I'm going to keep pretty quiet on. Though I can say is this new Majin will be different from any of the Buu's in the Canon. As for thedarkpokemaster's comment about Pan/Trunks I can't honestly say I've never seen a good fic myself, though I think that I just see them making more sense in a big brother/ little sister role more than any romantic given the age difference.

Q. WolfShadow96- While I think pan is still a little too strong after receving a little training the posted power level may be from when Gohan begins training her or something. Another thing is as everyone knows after Frieza saga power levels dont matter so it's alright if they're not 100accurate. I'm loving the romance between Trunks and Lazuli but I'm really hoping that we find out Lazuli is pregnant. Other than that I feel you're doing a fantastic job with this story.

A. Yeah Pan's power was hard for me to discern. I mean conceivably a child could turn into a Super Saiyan given Trunks,Goten, and Gohan, but it was hard for me to figure out how to scale her power. It probably won't matter much as she will begin training more regularly with Gohan going forward. Haha I appreciate your comment about powerlevels. Most people seem to forget that after the Frieza Saga it's rare that a numerical value is actually given to most characters. I'm glad you're enjoying Lazuli and Trunks together. I hope I've done a decent job with the progression in their relationship, I want them to feel real and playful with one another and be able to enjoy the little moments they have with one another. As for your other thought...Anything is possible ;)

"Jeez how much higher do we need to fly?" Lapis groaned.

Lazuli rolled her eyes. "Would you stop complaining? You know we can't let anyone see us. Trust me from experience, it wouldn't end well. Did you listen to anything Trunks said last night?"

"I'll admit...I kind of zoned out after a while. I figured you'd just hit the highlights of what I needed to know later." he admitted with a grin.

"Honestly Lapis you can be impossible sometimes. We need to keep out of sight of the humans, because until the Dragonballs can be used, everyone is going to freak out if they see us. "

"Yeah yeah I think I caught most of that. Can I ask you something that's been bothering me?"

The blonde blinked as she looked backwards. "You're my brother...of course you can."

Seventeen folded his arms. "It's just...you've become soft, but on the other hand I couldn't help, but notice when we were holding off Broly...you're stronger than I am now and not just slightly."

Lazuli smirked. "That hurt your pride little brother?"

Lapis scowled. "I just don't know how you did it...You don't have to rub it in Sis.." he grumbled.

The blonde chuckled. "Look Trunk's mother Bulma made some improvements on my cybernetics...which helped a lot, but more so then that, I started training all the time. For the longest time we didn't know if Trunks was coming back. I thought I was the only one who could fight Cell and he had me completely outclassed. I discovered with Bulma's help that I could still get stronger. After all we're still part human, which is really the best of both worlds. Our energy lasts almost indefinitely which means we can train for longer."

The raven haired cyborg stared at his sister in surprise for a moment. "Huh...I guess that makes sense. We never really felt the need to look for more strength in the past, but it's just hard to imagine you training Sis. You just don't seem like the type."

Lazuli shrugged. "Well what can I say little brother, a lot has changed since we were together last. I just know that I don't ever want to feel as defenseless as I felt against Cell again."

Lapis sighed. "What a drag. I've got a lot of catching up to do."

"If you behave and don't act like such an ass, I might ask Bulma to check your cybernetics when we get back then we can see about doing some training. Don't worry I'll go easy on my little brother till he's ready.." she smirked causing Lapis to shoot her a glare.

"Yeah yeah har har...enjoy it Sis. " he grumbled.

"Oh I am." she mused as she tilted her gaze downward, before frowning.

"We're almost there..." she said her voice taking a more serious tone as she began to descend towards the ground.

"Great...I can barely contain myself." Seventeen quipped in a sarcastic manner as he followed after her.

"I shouldn't keep Gohan waiting." Trunks said as he pulled his purple capsule corp jacket on as he headed towards the door, before glancing back over his shoulder at his mother.

"Tell Go-" The woman stopped halfway through her sentence as suddenly Gohan appeared in front of Trunks with a sheepish look on his face as he rubbed the back of his neck. He was once again wearing his more customary Gi which was essentially indentical to his father's.

"Heh sorry for the interruption. I just figured I'd save you a trip out to Mount Paozu Trunks." Gohan said with a smile.

Trunks offered a smile in return as Bulma barreled across the room, before throwing her arms around the Half-Saiyan. "I appreciate that Gohan. I think my mom's glad you decided to as well." he mused.

"Gosh it's so good to see you Gohan. I missed you kid" She exclaimed as she pulled back to examine him a moment. "Gosh you look so much like him Gohan."

Gohan smiled. "It's good to see you too Bulma and thank you. It feels great to be home, I'm sure you and Trunks must have many questions."

"That goes without saying." Trunks chuckled slightly as he crossed his arms.

"I do have a few questions myself." Bulma mused as she finally stepped back.

Gohan sighed as his demeanor became a bit more serious. "I don't mean to be rude Bulma, but uh...Trunks and I need to talk first about a few things. There's a few things we need to get cleared up."

Bulma nodded her head as she glanced over at Trunks. "I understand. I'll give you boys some space."

Gohan held up his hand. "That's not necessary. We'll get some fresh air and be back before you know it." he said offering the woman a smile as he raised two fingers to his head, before he held out his other hand.

Trunks nodded as he took a step forward until Gohan's hand rested on his shoulder. A split second elapsed before the pair vanished from sight.

Dende panted as he took a step backwards a look of wonder showed on his face. "I did it.." he breathed as he stared at the glowing orbs that rested before him on the lookout.

"An excellent job indeed! and to think Shenron is now more powerful than ever. You should be proud of yourself." said with a smile.

"Good job kid. Now we just need to tell the others, but I get the sense that sooner or later we'll see them. " Ocarin mused as he walked towards the edge and stared down at the planet below.

"Thankyou both for your words of encouragement. I don't know if I could have done it without your help.." Dende mused as he used Kami's old cane for support as he made his way to the edge of the lookout where the Super Namekian stood.

"What's on your mind Ocarin?"

The Namekian warrior smiled. "They may not be our people, not yet anyways, but it's still nice to see a world still filled with life. I can see why Trunks and the others have fought so hard to save it."

Dende nodded his head. "It just feels like we'll finally be able to do some good."

Trunks and Gohan now found themselves miles from civilization.

Trunks peered around at their surroundings, before chuckling as he recognized the wasteland they were in. "If I'm not mistaken this is the place we first started my training all those years ago."

Gohan who watched the other half-saiyan merely nodded as he allowed for a hint of a smile. "Yeah those were different times, darker times. So much as changed since then. For one you've grown up, you're not a child anymore, but the monsters that terrorized the planet are still alive. You've allowed them a chance for redemption, and from your interaction with Eighteen...I can tell something more has occured. I know that without their help you and I would have likely not had the chance to prepare for our fusion, but is it really wise to trust them like you do?""

Gohan's tone wasn't accusing, but it certainly wasn't as light as it had been a few minutes prior with Bulma.

Trunks turned as he regarded Gohan a moment, before letting out a sigh. "Gohan I know on paper none of it makes any sense. I hated them...I still don't much care for Lapis, but I didn't plan for any of this to happen." he paused a moment as he leaned against a rock formation, before continuing.

"I went to the past...with the use of a Time Machine..to warn everyone.. about the Androids. I was naive. I didn't so much go back in time as I did visit another parallel universe altogether. The fact is my warning in the end saved them from following the same course as this world, but when I came back home...I didn't return when I intended to. For some reason I came back much later then I was suppose to. Six months in fact. "

Gohan was quiet a moment. "So Bulma actually finished her time machine? Very interesting."

Trunk's eyes widened. "You knew about it?"

Gohan nodded his head slowly. "Yes but at the time it was only a theory. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that your mother made it a reality.." he chuckled a moment, before stopping as he stared at his former student. "You can continue."

Trunks nodded as he thought back to the chain of events that had occured.

"When I came back so much had changed. Cell had already emerged and absorbed Seventeen and the Eighteen I encountered wasn't the same person who had tormented us for years. She was filled with regret...she was trying to somehow make ammends for everything she and her brother had done. She even sacrificed herself to Cell to save Pan. That's when I trully knew that she was different...and that she really wanted to attone for her sins. I don't know when it started, but in the weeks leading up to that final encounter with Cell...I couldn't help but to notice her...not as a monster or android, but as a woman. I denied to myself any attraction or feelings that were developing until the moment Cell absorbed her...when she sacrified everything...then I felt a surge of power as I let go of all that hate and admitted to the truth to myself. The fact was I had come to care about Lazuli. A monster would have never done what she did. It was no act and if Piccolo...if my father can earn redemption then so can she."

Gohan closed his eyes as he laced his fingers. He couldn't deny that Trunks had made several good points. Despite everything that had happened he would be a hypocrite if he overlooked Piccolo's and Vegeta's past. It still didn't make it any easier and it still wouldn't make him accept either of the cyborgs any quicker.

He slowly opened his eyes. "I still don't like this Trunks. I understand where you are coming from, but you need to understand my point of view as well. Last night I was able to hold my wife for the first time in years, see my mother who has somehow held it together through this nightmare...I was able to hold my daughter for the first time ever. Trunks you are like a brother to me and I trust you with my life, but if something happens to any of them because of those cyborgs. I will hold not only them accountable, but you as well. Don't you understand me?"

The lavendar haired warrior bowed his head after a moment. "Gohan you have my word that nothing will happen, but we have an understanding."

Gohan sighed as he relaxed his shoulders after a moment. "Good now that we've gotten that out of the way...there's another matter to discuss. I'm sure you're curious as to how I'm now alive?"

"This is Eerie. It's like it was all those years ago." Lapis remarked as he folded his arms before scowling as he stared at the door to Gero's lab.

"I know how you feel. I was here only a few months ago and it was in ruins...I think I perferred it that way..." she said quietly.

"I just want to blow this place to hell and back.." Lapis growled.

The blonde reached out, before resting a hand on her brother's shoulder. "Wait till we're done here first...then I'll help you myself" she said as she offered him a small smile to which he said nothing, but simply nodded his head.

Lazuli let out a sigh before stepping forward as she pressed a series of numbers upon the keypad on the door. A mechanical sound from the door indicated that she had pressed the right sequence of numbers. "I wish there were somethings I could forget and other things that I could remember...Guess it doesn't work that way though..." she chuckled mirthessly as she stepped forward into the lab beyond.

Lapis said nothing as he followed her inside as they were both immediately greeted by a flash of lights as the interior lights of the lab kicked in revealing the entirety of the lab.

"Oh my god..." Lazuli breathed as her eyes widened in surprise.

Trunks folded his arms as he studied Gohan a moment. "I must admit the question of how you're here now has crossed my mind more than once. Not that I'm complaining." he chuckled as he cracked a small smile.

"Well several months ago I was in otherworld with my father training. Not for any purpose yet mind you...but it was a necessary distraction so that I didn't drive myself mad focusing on what was happening here on Earth. One day we received a visit from someone known as the Supreme Kai. He apparently in the heirarchy of things is pretty high up at least as far as the Kais are concerned. With his arrival he offered a powerful gift...a chance for one person to be restored to life, with the power of one of the Gods. Dad insisted that I take it and so that's how I'm here now."

Trunk's eyes widened. "That's incredible, but I have to ask why? I mean I can't imagine someone that important would just offer such a gift without some sort of purpose. That can't happen often right?"

Gohan allowed for a smile. "Yeah you're right. There's always a string attached...not so much in the fact that if I don't do something that I'll be sent back to otherworld, but that there was a reason they wanted me alive again."

Trunks frowned. "Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this conversation?"

Gohan sighed. "You'd be right. I was brought back under the premise that I would help the Supreme Kai stop a wizard by the name of Babidi. "

"A Wizard? what kind of danger does this Babidi pose?"

"Well alone the Supreme Kai says that Babidi is resourceful but that he's not a fighter, but it's magic that we should afraid of. He can turn the evil in men's hearts against them till they surrender to that darkness. Then they will willingly serve him. However this is still just the tip of the iceberg. There is a creature that has been sealed for ages that Babidi intends to release upon the Galaxy. A creature his father intitally released in the past. And it is hidden somewhere here on the Earth."

"Just how dangerous is this creature?" Trunks asked as he tried to keep his tone level.

Gohan made a face as he paced back and forth for a moment.

"According to the Supreme Kai...the last time that Majin Buu was released he nearly wiped out the entire known Galaxy. There were more Kai's on the same level as the current Supreme Kai, and now he is the last of his kind."

Trunk's eyes widened. "This Majin Buu must be incredibly strong. But if he's contained is it possible for us to stop Babidi first?"

Gohan sighed. "That's more or less the plan. For a few months I spent my time training in the other world while the Supreme Kai searched endlessly for Babidi and his minions. However each time he'd arrive only to find an old trail. There's no telling when Babidi will arrive, but if we can't stop him before he get's to Earth, then at the very least we can be prepared when he arrives. When that day comes...it's simple we stop him, before he can release Buu."

Trunks closed his eyes a moment, before sighing. "I should tell the others and as a matter of fact...we should check on Dende and Ocarin. If we're going to be preparing for another major threat...then we need to make sure that not only everyone is ready, but that we have the power of the dragonballs on our side this time."

"I hear you Trunks. Come on it's been a while since I've been to Korin's tower much less Kami's lookout, but I should be able to sense and the others." he said as he raised two fingers to his forehead as Trunks walked towards him, before chuckling.

"One of these days...you're going to have to show me how to do that."

Gohan smiled as he patted his 'brother' on the shoulder. "You have my word." he said, before the duo vanished once more into thin air.

"How is this even possible? I thought these other models you mentioned were destroyed? Or am I did I miss something?" Lapis asked as he stepped forward examining each of the individual pods that housed the various android models. There rested their own pods still sealed, however they were clearly empty. However what was more alarming was the pod labeled Sixteen and Nineteen that rested not far away. Both of the pod housed the corresponding android.

Lazuli shook her head as she was at a loss for words as she approached Sixteen's chamber. She slowly rested a hand upon the surface. "All I can think of...is that the wording of my wish. I asked the Dragon to undo all the damage the Earth had received since before our arrival. The wish was meant to undo the damage to the planet and to the cities. "

"So what? How could that include androids? Does that mean we have to worry about Cell creeping about too?"

Lazuli shivered at the thought,before slowly shaking her head. "No...I...I think it's because in the eyes of Dragon the fully Synthetic androids are more like a structure than an actual living being. At least in it's eyes." she mused as he stared down at the sleeping giant.

"So what's the deal? We blasting these guys or what?"

The blonde's eyes softened as she stared at Sixteen. "We'll take care of Nineteen before we leave, this guy is coming with us.."

Lapis blinked. "You sure about that? I mean won't your boyfriend be pretty pissed if you show up with another android? He might have made an exception for you, but I'm pretty sure me and every other android is still on his shit list."

For a moment Eighteen was tensed as she thought about Androids 13,14,& 15. However after a moment she relaxed. 'Those models might not even exist yet or may at the very least be incomplete. Regardless when we're done here I'll be thorough. It's good we did come here...to think that a simple wording of a wish could have caused us a lot of trouble in the future.'

"Yo sis? So why shouldn't we destroy Sixteen like fatty over here?" The Raven haired cyborg asked as he inspected Nineteen.

The blonde rolled her eyes as she looked back at her brother. "Sixteen is different. When I came here before to salvage parts he helped me against the other androids...and when Cell came at me...he died trying to protect me. He deserves a chance."

Lapis shrugged. "Alright suit yourself. But when someone pitches a fit...I'll remind them this wasn't my idea."

"Such Loyalty..." Lazuli said in a dry sarcastic manner as she inspected 16's chamber. "It's time to wake you up big guy." she murmured as she pressed the release switch on his tank, before taking a step backwards.

*AN* And there's another chapter down! Sorry if this one wasn't quite as long. I could have continued with this chapter, but I didn't want this one chapter reaching 7k+ words so I decided to end it here.

*Powerlevels*

I'm sure there is a lot of conflicting information on various sites that says otherwise, but since this is only suppose to be a comparison, please don't flame me too much about the powerlevels! Their not meant to be 100% accurate anyways I just want a tool people can reference to see how different characters in this fic compare to one another!
