The next generation of fighting...
The next generation of defending...
The next generation of Dragonball...
The year is 2000. Our time is met with artificial humans from another timeline and a group of aliens from the future. In a desperate attempt to save their future from the androids and their own universes future, the aliens take a teenager back to their time. Will they save the future or just lead it to its destruction?

The Earth has become peaceful once again by the help of the Z warriors.
After the nightmare of Bebi, the release of hells evil, and the Evil Shenlon, things had finally gotten back together. They had fixed back together their world and their lives. Even Piccolo was now back. The times had ended for them to save the world from evil, or so they thought...
It was summer. Kristy was lying on the sofa in the family room with nothing to do. The room was completely silent as if everything was dead. Kristy sighed. Who would of known that summer could be so boring? The television was off since the only thing on at this time of day was talk shows, and everyone knew they were fake, so why bother? Kristy looked back and forth to see if there was anything she could do so that she wouldnt die of boredom. An idea popped into her head. She got up and went to the living room. She bent over and looked around for what she was looking for.
Now I know its around here somewhere... she thought while searching.
Kristy then spotted what she was looking for. She ran to the small table next to the front door. She got to her knees and picked up the newspaper. She ran her finger down the front page looking for where it said the movies page was. A14. Kristy flipped through the pages until she found it. She checked what was playing at the theater nearest her. The only thing that she could find that wasnt rated R was a really stupid movie she had heard about. She groaned. She had seen a few R movies but only on video. Also she had seen the movie's commercials. It was torture just watching those. Oh well.
If I want to get out of the house, Ill just have to go see it.
She got up and walked to the office. She stuck her head through the opening of the door. Her mom was working on the calculator doing her accounting.
"Mom, can I go to the movies?" she asked.
Her mom looked up.
"Well...I dont know," her mom said unsurely.
This was going to need some bribing, Kristy noticed.
"Ill clean my room when I get home if you let me go," Kristy said putting on a big grin in hopes that her mom would say yes.
Her mom looked like she was thinking about it. This was her best chance to bribe her into letting her go.
"Pleeeeaaaassseeee," she pleaded.
"Well, all right," her mom said.
"Thanks mom!" Kristy said running to her bedroom to get some money.
When Kristy got there she noticed her big brother was too. His TV had broken so he had raided her room. Jeff was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans watching TV. He was thin and had brownish blond hair much like her own. She walked past him and got some money out of her dresser. He looked up.
"What are you doing?" he asked while she stuffed her money into her pockets.
"Just going to the movies," she said walking out the door.
He wasnt listening anymore since his tape started playing something again. Kristy walked out the front door with her hands in her pockets, heading to the mall, not knowing that it would be a long time til she came back.
It was a beautiful day at Capsule Corp. The sun warmed the ground as a soft wind blew through the area. Everyone was enjoying the peace and quiet. Oolong and Master Roshi were sitting on the lawn looking through a porno magazine together, enjoying every second of it. Suddenly, it got dark around them. Master Roshi looked up.
"I thought it was too early for an Eclipse..." he said not understanding what was going on.
Oolong looked up too. It seemed that there was a huge black object coming down from above that took up their entire field of view.
"Aaaaahhhhh!!!" Oolong screamed while shaking, "THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, running around in circles.
The others looked outside to see what was going on. The object landed and two booted feet landed on the ground. Future Trunks stood looking back and forth to see where everyone was.
"Ugh," a sound came from under the time machine. Future Trunks got a confused look on his face. He then turned around and looked under the time machine. Master Roshi and Oolong were lying on their stomachs smashed under the time machine.
"A little help.." Oolong said in a tense voice.
"Oops...Sorry," F. Trunks said sheepishly.
Seconds later, the two were out from under the time machine.
"So, what brings you here?" Bulma asked from coming out of her lab.
Kristy arrived at the movie theaters. She examined the crowd. Drat. She sighed as she took her place at the end of the long line. She tapped her foot after awhile. Was this line going to move at all? Since she was going to be waiting for awhile she thought of some of the music she liked. The words flowed through her mind.
I want to get away
I want to get awaaay
I want to get away
I want to flyyyy awaaay
Ya
Oh ya
I want to get away
I want to get awaaay
I want to get away
I want to flyyy awaaay
She looked up and noticed that the line had moved a lot. She smiled to herself. Moments later she was next in line.
"What do you mean 4.99?!" the person in front of her cried out at the cashier.
It was a middle-aged man that was balding.
"And you don't get free food or drinks with that?! Thats a freakin rip-off!! Im going to kick your butts!" the man yelled out in rage.
Kristy and the cashier could smell the thick aroma of alcohol from the guy. It was so thick that Kristy and a few people behind her had to hold their noses.
"Security!" the cashier yelled calmly.
Two policemen then dragged the drunken man away with the entire crowd staring. Kristy shook her head and turned away.
"Next!" the cashier said putting the incident behind him.
All the Z fighters had gathered at Capsule Corp. Everyone looked unusually grim. Future Trunks had just told the others of a big problem. It turns out that the androids from Future Trunks timeline have built a time machine to go back in time and change the future.
"So what are they going to do?" Krillen asked nervously, "Are they going to kill us before we become fighters?"
"No," Future Trunks says, narrowing his eyes.
"They are going to kill the sleeping warrior."
"The what?" everyone but Piccolo ask at the same time.
"The sleeping warrior," F. Trunks repeats. "Shes this teenager with amazing fighting potential. You see, she was the one that tried to stop Dr. Weelo around 80 years ago. She was just a normal kid until Dr. Weelo destroyed several cities across the world. She was the only survivor in the attacked cities. She survived because she had an incredible power sleeping inside of her. She unleashed her anger upon Dr. Weelo. During the fight there was an avalanche that buried them both. Scientists managed to recover the girl but she was trapped in a green crystal of some sort. They tried to crack it open but failed. They figured there was no way she could survive in the crystal so they announced her dead and placed her in a special burying site. What they didn't know was that Kami had placed the girl in a special case that will release her when the battle comes, when if the good lose, the universe will be lost."
At this point, even the bravest of the group were sweating and trembling slightly. Its not very comforting thinking about the end of the universe. F. Trunks didnt like thinking about it either but hated the dead silence just as much so he went on.
"The androids are going to kill her before she even realizes her power. If she dies, the final battle is sure to be lost."
Everyone fell silent as if under some sort of spell. Goku was the first one to break out of it.
"If this girl is going to be killed, then we got to save her," he said confidently in fearless leader mode.
"Hes right," Krillen added trying to sound confident. Why do these things always happen to me?
"Only a few of us can go," F. Trunks said with crossed arms looking at the ground.
Everyone thought about that for a moment.
"I suggest that the 5 strongest should go," F. Trunks continued, "Only 6 people can fit inside the time machine at most. The modified version anyway."
Surely enough, the time machine behind him was bigger and looked more like a space ship that you see in the movies.
"Ok," Goku said slightly nodding his head.
He turned back to the others.
"Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Future Trunks, and I will go to the past and save this sleeping warrior from the androids. So lets get moving."
He turned around and walked into the time machine, followed by the other warriors that would be joining him. They sat down in metal chairs and put on their seat belts. Future Trunks looked over his shoulder.
"Ready?"
The others nodded. He turned back to the controls with a stern face. He flipped some black switches and pressed a few buttons.
"All systems go. Get ready for take off."
The time machine slowly lifted up from the ground. When it was about 50 feet in the air it zoomed forward then disappeared. The others that were still at Capsule Corp. stared at the empty sky which the now-departed warriors disappeared into. Good luck.. Goten thought, his eyes tensely staring at the sky.
What a waste of time... Kristy thought standing outside of the movie theater with her hands in her pockets. She was disgusted by the dumbness of the movie. Im never going to see that movie again. She walked to the music store, in hope of finding something to do. Kristy walked to a shelf that had CD cases all along it. There was a pair of headphones and a black surface with numbers on it. It was one of those music-sampling things that they now had in music stores. One of the samples was a N*Sync CD so she put on the headphones and pressed 4 to listen to it. She wasnt fond of them or anything. She actually thought of them somewhat annoying since her friends were totally obsessed with them but she had to admit, they had a couple good songs. The music began to play and she quietly tapped her foot to the beat.
The time machine landed softly on the grass. The 5 warriors stepped out and examined their surroundings. It was a deserted area with random trees with the ground covered in grass. They then heard a loud ZOOM sound. Piccolo covered his ears in pain.
"What is that!?" he yelled out when the sound was at its peak.
The others put their hands to their ears as well because it was so loud. Slowly, the sound faded. They looked up and saw a fence. On the other side of it was a road, and behind that there was buildings as far as the eye can see. A vehicle, which resembled an air cart, only with wheels, zoomed down the road making just as much noise as the last one.
Vegeta extended his hand towards it and yelled,
"Enough of this!"
He was just about to blast it when F. Trunks grabbed his arm.
"Dont do it!" he said.
"You dare to get in my way brat!" Vegeta yelled back.
"If you shot it, it may have changed the future drastically. What if that was Mom's grandparent?"
Vegeta snarled.
"Just stay out of my way."
Goku took something out of his pocket. He put it over his left eye. It tinted everything into a green color. Numbers beeped in yellow writing.
"Hmmm, now where is she?" he asked himself as he pressed the button a couple of times as he turned slightly to get a scan of the power levels in the area.
The scouter began beeping wildly. Goku smiled.
"Found her."
The others turned their attention to him.
"Where?" Gohan asked his dad.
"In that building," Goku said pointing to a 4-story building which was a few blocks away from where they stood.
"Lets get going," Future Trunks said nodding his head slightly.
Him and everyone but Vegeta took off from the ground.
"Hmmm...In this time, the Saiyans would be alive," Vegeta thought aloud, "I could still be a ruler!"
"Cmon, Dad," F. Trunks said yanking him off the ground by his shoulder.
#18 flew along side #17.
"Brother?" #18 asked, "How long do you think it will take to kill the girl?"
#17s face remained expressionless.
"I doubt very long," he said coldly, "Even though her power level is above the average humans, shes no match for us."
#18 smiled, "Humans...they're so pathetic. It sickens me to think that we were once like that."
#17 smiled as he looked ahead, "Looks like were going to have some fun."
As the Z fighters flew in a group, Vegeta said, "So.. Whats this girls power level?"
Goku looked at his scouter.
"Its 500."
Vegeta looked ahead, "Hmm.. Not bad for a human."
Goku nodded, still looking ahead.
"Its the best human power level Ive seen besides Krillens, Yamchas, Tiens, and #18's."
"Shoot!" Gohan said as he flew,"The androids are heading there too!"
The Z warriors auras blazed as they sped forward. The androids did the same. They stopped as they stood (actually, hovered) before each other. The groups glared at each other.
"You've improved," #17 said with a smirk, "But not enough."
Vegeta smirked also, "Thats what you think.."
Both groups slowly landed on the roof of the building and got into fighting stances. All of them began powering up. White auras surrounded the androids, the hybred-Saiyans turned yellow as they went Super Saiyan 2, the full-Saiyans turned yellow as they went Super Saiyan 3, and Piccolo's blazed a blue. Both screamed out in rage as they jumped at each other. When the two were about to meet they disappeared. Seconds later they appeared higher above the building kicking and punching each other so fast that they were just blurs. Each side dodged them all.
#17 saw this and flew back a bit. He put his arms in the air and created a black ball of energy. He threw his arms downward and launched it at the Z warriors. They couldn't react in time. Piccolo was pushed down by the blast as it hit his chest sending him through the glass ceiling and onto the 3rd floor. Gohan looked down at his friend and looked back up and snarled at his attacker. Gohan disappeared then appeared driving his knee into #17s stomach causing blood to spurt out of the androids mouth. #18 flew behind Gohan and slammed him down by knitting her hands together to make a big fist. Future Trunks then blasted #18 from above with a white ki blast.
"Shinee (Die)!" F. Trunks yells down at the androids. #17 stood up on the 3rd floor of the building. He wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand and smirked.
"Say your good-byes, because its all over for you."
Kristy was still listening to the sample music when a large crash was heard outside the store. She whipped her head to the right to see what was the cause of it. She managed to catch a glimpse of a body smashing into the tile, causing chunks of it to fly up and making a hole around it. She tore off the headphones and ran towards it as all the other people were running away screaming. She got to her knees and urgently said,
"Are you all right?"
To her surprise a green face moved up, pulling his upper half upright. It was a green human-like being wearing some sort of Arabian clothing. Even though that she could easily tell that this guy was from outer space, she took him by the arm and helped him up. He didnt really need her help which surprised her even more. The force of the fall had looked pretty painful and anyone she knew would have not been able to just get back up like the way he did. Well, Kristy, what did you expect? Hes an alien. No wonder he took that fall so well. I wonder why hes here...she thought to herself.
The alien looked down at her. What is this girl doing here? Does she know that her life is in danger like everyone else? And why does she seem so familiar? He took his arm out of her grip.
"Get out of here. Its not safe for you or anyone else to be here," he said which surprised her yet again.
Whoa.. He speaks English.
She opened her mouth about to say something but another crash came through the glass ceiling. A teenage boy with wild yellow hair jumped down with a long sword extended in his hand aiming at a man with black hair that went to the shoulders. The black haired man used his arm to defend himself as the boy repeatedly slashed at him with his sword. There was a clanging sound when the arm and the sword met. Piccolo now started to read ki's to see where everyone was. He then noticed that the girl next to him had an abnormal human ki. He turned around and stared, amazed. Its her! Shes the one! Just then #18 flew down through the hole in the ceiling. She hovered in the air clenching her fists and her teeth while she breathed hard. Her eyes burned with hatred and anger. She then noticed the girl standing next to Piccolo. Piccolo put himself in front of Kristy, ready to fight. #18 snarled.
"So youre the one...."
Kristy lifted an eyebrow. "Huh?"
#17 looked over from his battle with Trunks. He looked back at F. Trunks and grabbed him by the shirt and threw him into a wall across the floor. Debris flew from the wall as he collided with it. #17 turned to look at Piccolo and Kristy. Piccolo snarled at the androids. #17 crossed his arms and smirked.
"You're not going to win so might as well move out of the way," he said to Piccolo.
Kristy was as confused as ever.
"If you think that then youre dumber than I thought."
Piccolos face changed to a smirk, "Anyway, I'm not about to back down."
#17 stood in place with his same cold face.
"Have it your way."
#17 and #18 jumped towards Piccolo and Kristy, screaming in rage. A large yellow blast knocked both the androids into a wall. Piccolo looked to see where the blast had come from. Vegeta was standing there on the forth floor looking down at them.
He jumped down across from Piccolo.
"Thought you may need some help," he said smirking.
Piccolo lifted a fist and smirked as well.
"Dont get cocky now; the battle has just begun."
Vegeta crossed his arms and continued smirking. His smirk faded when he looked down at Kristy.
"Whos this?" he asked.
Piccolo looked down at Kristy too.
"I believe this is the person we were looking for."
"That?" Vegeta asked in disbelief.
He examined the girl.
"Doesnt look like it."
"Whoa," Kristy said totally confused.
"Someone explain to me what the heck is going on."
There was then a crashing sound. The three turned around to see #17 and #18 standing in front of the hole they had created. The androids were breathing heavily.
"Time-to-die," #17 said between breaths.
Piccolo and Vegeta got into a fighting stance. Goku, Gohan, and Future Trunks appeared and landed next to Piccolo and Vegeta (all in their normal forms now), also getting into a fighting stance.
"Girl," Piccolo whispered to Kristy without looking.
"Get out of here."
Kristy hesitated.
"Go," Piccolo repeated more forcefully.
This time she started running. The androids saw her escaping out of the corner of their eyes.
"18, get her," #17 said.
#18 flew off after her. #17 and the Z fighters stared at each other in the eyes waiting for the moment to strike.
Kristy pumped her legs and arms as she ran down the mall. She stopped and looked down to the 1st floor. An exit! She began running again and got to the escalator. She ran down it as it moved at its normal slow pace. #18 landed in the middle of the escalator. Kristy gasped and turned around. #18 appeared a few feet in front of her. Kristy panicking, jumped over the rail to the 2nd floor. Her ankles became hurt after landing so hard on the floor but she continued running anyways. She ran into a video store and hid behind a rack of horror videos. She peeked through the spaces to see if #18 was near. She glanced at one of the tape covers that had a woman choking another one to death against a black background. Kristy cringed and turned away, not wanting to imagine that being her fate. Kristys eyes widened as she heard a small sound behind her. She slowly turned around to see the blond haired woman that had been chasing her. #18 grabbed a stunned Kristy by the top of her shirt and threw her through the video store glass window, as well as the one of a store across the 2nd floor. Kristy landed with a thump as she collided with the floor. A shower of glass surrounded her. She struggled to move. She saw #18 hovering above her with crossed arms and cold eyes. Kristy gritted her teeth as she saw a fallen golf club in front of her in the sporting store. #18 raised her arm ready to give the final blow to her. #18 swung her arm down at Kristy. At the last second Kristy grabbed the golf club, jumped up, turned around, and swung it at #18s arm. It made a cling sound. "What the?!" Kristy yelled as the vibrations ran through her body.
"Your attempts are futile, puny human," #18 taunted.
Kristy bared her teeth and her eyes burned with hatred as she glared at #18.
"Youll never win," Kristy stated.
#18 smirked, amused. Kristy grew a big smirk. She then swung the golf club behind her hitting the bottom of a rack of basketballs. She dropped the golf club and ran out of the store as the rack fell on the android. Kristy made a sharp turn out the door and ran as fast as she could towards the end of the floor where there were stairs. There was a shock wave in the sporting goods store as #18 got up. She snarled and flew after Kristy.
The staring contest continued. Then the air around #17 was moving upwards, sending his hair up. Tiny bits of plaster began to make a tornado around him. The Z warriors did the same. All of them now clenched their teeth as they continued to power up. The small shockwave came from each one of them as their auras began glowing.
Goku jumped at #17 screaming. The others were close behind. When Goku got to #17, he tried to punch him in the face. #17 moved his head to the side just in time. Vegeta did a kick, aiming at #17s side. #17 moved his body to the side, above the kick, dodging it. F. Trunks clenched both his fists and extended one towards #17s chest. #17 moved his torso to the side just missing it. F. Trunks and #17 kept their poses, not moving. Then a punching and kicking war began. All of them moved speedily as they attacked one another. #17 blocked or dodged most of the hits. Piccolo then made a fist, brought his arm back, and knocked #17 square in the cheek. The force of the hit snapped #17s neck to the side, sending him flying through the air.
#17 then spun backwards a few times in the air. He stopped suddenly. He looked coldly at them. The Z fighters did the same. They then felt a shock wave come from one of the stores. They turned around and saw #18 chasing the girl. #18 was close behind the girl...too close.
Gohan then flew out of nowhere and elbowed #18 at an angle, sending her through the elevator tube, destroying it in the process. #17 landed in front of Kristy and put his arm around her neck. She pulled at his arm and kicked wildly to get away but he just squeezed tighter. Goku, Gohan, Future Trunks, and Piccolo landed 20 feet in front of him.
"Surrender or she will be annihilated," #17 threatened, tightening his lock around Kristys neck.
Kristy emitted a small "ugh".
"All right..." Goku said, "We surrender.."
#17 smirked thinking that he had won. Of course he wasnt going to let her live. He smiled evilly at the thought. He couldnt believe how gullible these people were. Vegeta then grabbed Kristy around the waist, out of #17s grip and kicked #17 in the head, sending him flying, then skidding across the floor.
"You didnt actually think we would surrender, did you?" Piccolo asked the android while smirking.
Vegeta set Kristy down. Kristy took exasperated breaths, trying to control her breathing. The other Z warriors turned to her.
"What-the-heck-is-going on?" she asked, exhausted.
The others looked at each other, not knowing what to tell her. Future Trunks opened his mouth to say something but then they heard a voice,
"Fools!" They turned to the voice.
#17 and 18 were standing next to each other. "You think you've won? This is not over till we have your blood on our hands!"
The androids did the fusion dance. A bright light filled the mall but then faded. One figure stood in the place of #17 and 18. It was shaped like the two androids only had different clothes, brown hair, and was more muscular. The Z fighters and Kristys eyes grew big.
"We've got to get out of here!" Gohan yelled to the others.
"But Gohaaan," Goku pleaded, "I want to fight."
"For once I agree with you, Kakkarott," Vegeta replied.
The others gave them a deadly glare.
Piccolo, Gohan, and Trunks took off through the hole in the glass ceiling. Vegeta picked up Kristy, and Vegeta and Goku followed close behind. They sped over the city. Kristy let out a yelp as she realized how high up she was. She clung to Vegeta, not knowing if she would fall to her doom.
"Someone else carry her," Vegeta said, "She's too jumpy."
"Thats because you're carrying her, Dad," the purple haired one replied.
"Knowing you, you'd probably drop her."
Kristys eyes got big.
"Dont drop me!" she screamed.
"Someone else carry her or else I will drop her," Vegeta stated, a bit agitated.
Piccolo was flying next to him so he stuck Kristy in his arms. Piccolo glared at him. Vegeta smirked.
"You're the baby sitter."
"Whatever," Kristy said, changing the subject.
"Now can someone tell me why people are out to kill me?"
"Would it be enough if I said they just do?" Gohan asks.
"No," Kristy said.
Gohan sighed.
There was a sudden gust a wind, causing Kristy to fall back. She clung her arms around Piccolos neck, saving herself. She sighed in relief that she didnt fall.
Gohan looked over his shoulder.
"We have company."
Now a mob of fireballs surrounded them. They made several sharp turns, dodging them. Future Trunks gets impaled by one in the back. He loses control of his flying and crashes into Piccolo. Piccolo was hit so suddenly that he dropped Kristy. Kristy was too scared to scream. The roofs and the ground rushed up at her. She closed her eyes in fear.
Kristys eyes shot open. She wasnt falling! She looked around to see what happened. She was once again in that green guys arms. She sighed, thankful that she was saved. Gohan flew along side them, carrying F. Trunks over his shoulder.
"Good, shes okay," he said when he noticed that she was awake again.
Goku looked over his shoulder and smiled at her. He then frowned sadly. He began to look at the problem at hand. What are we going to do with the girl? If we leave her, the androids will kill her... But to protect her would mean we would have to-
His thoughts were interrupted by a low groan. F. Trunks tiredly lifted his head up. Gohan looked up at his friend.
"Are you okay?"
"Never been better," F. Trunks replied with a hint of sarcasm. He began to hover on his own. He shook his head then flied back at normal speed.
"What s going on right now?" he asked the others.
Vegeta said, "The androids are lagging back a bit. Theyre attempting to attack us by surprise."
Vegeta was always good at putting himself into the enemies minds. It was a good thing that came out of him once being an enemy himself. Trunks smiled thinking about this. Who would of thought that the Prince of Saiyans would ever settle down and have a family? Probably no one, he mused. He suddenly felt a ki approaching him quickly behind him.
He turned around to see the fusion of #17 and 18 speeding towards him in an offensive pose. F. Trunks looked up and saw the sun. F. Trunks quickly put his pointing and middle fingers to his temples. He closed his eyes as well.
"Solar Flare!!" he screamed.
A brilliant yellow light came from his hands towards its target. The fusion covered its eyes and twisted in pain.
"Aaaaahhhhh!!!" it screamed.
The Z warriors sped away to the small forest where the time machine was.
"Whats the plan?!" Goku yelled while pushing the pedal to the metal.
"I dont know!" F. Trunks admitted as he too, flew faster.
He then knew what he had to do. They landed and ran inside the time machine. They all took their seats-Piccolo stuck Kristy in her own-and buckled up. F. Trunks hit various buttons.
"Cmon, cmon!" he urged the machine.
"What are we doing?!" Kristy yelled, panicking. She had no idea who these people were, what these people were going to do with her, and had no idea what they were doing.
"Were saving your life, thats what were doing,"
Vegeta simply said with a stern face and crossed arms. Kristy thought for a moment. It was very unlikely that these people were going to hurt her. They did save her from those two people that were trying to kill her and destroyed the mall in the process. Seeing that her only other option than to go with them was to get out and be killed by those wackos, she decided to stay with these guys.
"Get ready for take-off!" the purple haired teenager said as the ship lifted from the ground.
Kristy was a bit surprised and held on to her seat. She looked out the front window. First she saw trees, then buildings, then just blue sky. The ship then shot forward. The window was filled with steams of color zooming past them. Kind of like when they go into Hyper Drive in Star Wars. After a few seconds of this, the ship slowed down. The window filled with light blue again. The machine softly hovered down and made a landing. The Z warriors rose from their seats and walked out the door. Kristy leaned forward in her seat to see outside. A group of people was outside surrounded by half circle shaped buildings. This day has gone beyond weird.
The others turned around to see Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Future Trunks stepping out of the time machine.
"They're back!!" they all yelled at the same time. They ran to the group to see what happened.
"Well?!" Bulma asked, wanting to know what happened.
"Things didnt go exactly as planned..." Future Trunks started.
Kristy got up the nerve to take off her seat belt and look out the door. She looked back and forth to try to figure out where she was. She scanned the strange buildings. One said Capsule Corp. Headquarters; never heard of it. Kristy mentally kicked herself for not getting out more. Besides that, there were no signs of her location. She sighed. How did she get herself into this mess? One minute, shes just hanging out at the mall; the next shes being chased by 2 people attempting to kill her; then shes taken into a machine by these martial artist guys with either freaky hair or green skin that save her from those 2 physcos; then she and the others appear in who knows where. This was just too much in one day.
"YOU WHAT?!?!?" Chichi and Bulma scream at the guys.
All of them but Vegeta and Piccolo got nervous looks. Goku got a big sweatdrop on his head and waved his hands in front of him a bit.
"Theres no need to overreact."
Chichi and Bulmas eyes slanted into slits and their eyes turned yellow like a demons.
"WERE NOT OVERREACTING!!!"
"Of course youre not," Vegeta said sarcastically with his usual look. Bulma-with the normal color of her eyes-glared side ways at Vegeta.
"And whats YOUR explanation?" she demanded.
"We went to the past, found the androids, found the girl, fought the androids, the androids fused, we escaped, got back in the time machine, came back to the future, standing here explaining this, end of story," Vegeta said as if it was nothing more than that.
Bulma got into Vegetas face and yelled with clenched fists at her sides.
"YOU WERENT SUPPOSE TO BRING HER BACK!"
"What else were we suppose to do?" Gohan cut in.
"Leave her and let the androids kill her?"
Bulma sighed and calmed down.
"Guess not.." she admitted.
"Hmph," Vegeta replied.
"The question is..." Piccolo said aloud, "What are we going to do with the girl?"
Their attention turned towards the time machines doorway. The girl was in the doorway, looking around at her surroundings. They stared at her.
Kristy sighed and stopped looking around. She then looked up to see the group staring at her. She stared back, examining them. They seemed to be doing the same. Every one of them was different looking than the average person, one way or another. Most of them were very well built. Some had wild black hair like most of the people she came here with, some were short-one looked like a little clown or something, some had strange colored hair, some had extra parts-like this guy with a third eye, and then there was that green guy in the Arabian get-up. It was easy to observe that these people weren't normal.
The group eyed her. Looked pretty normal even though theyve never seen anyone with brownish blond hair before. She was around 5ft something. She had an average build. By appearance, nothing special. Bulma turned to Goku.
"Give me the scouter."
Goku nodded and put his hand in his pocket. A second later, he took it out and put it in Bulmas hand. She put it over her left eye. Numbers flashed yellow against the green background. The numbers stopped and showed the girl outlined saying she had a powerlevel of 500. She blinked as she took it off.
Kristy, getting sick of the silence said, "Hey! When are you guys going to tell me whats going on?"
She said lifting an eyebrow in anticipation. Goku gave a warm smile.
"How about we discuss this over dinner?"
Kristy stared in awe as she sat at the table, watching the Saiyans stuff food into their mouths at a rapid rate. She had been watching this for a couple minutes and was beginning to get queasy. The others simply stared at them. Another teenager, with long blue hair, cringed at the sight. At least Kristy wasn't alone. When was the last time these people ate? Last Christmas?
Chichi saw this and hit her elbow into Gokus ribs. Goku looked up from his food holding a half-eaten chicken leg. Goku looked at Chichi and she just crossed her arms and motioned her eyes towards Kristy.
"Oh," Goku said and turned to Kristy, "Sorry."
"Its okay," Kristy replied, now that that queasy feeling was disappearing.
"So, whats your name?" Bulma asked from the far side of the table.
"Her name is Kristy," a deep voice said from the other side of the room.
It was the green guy. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed as usual. Kristy turned around in her seat to look at him.
"How did you know my name?"
The others looked expectantly at Piccolo, wanting to know too. Piccolo smirked.
"I have my resources. You'll find out sooner or later."
The others left it at that and went back to eating. After everyone was pretty much done, Kristy asked,
"Why doesnt he eat?"
"Oh, Piccolo," Gohan looked over at him then back at Kristy.
"He doesnt."
Kristy got a confused look.
"Everyone eats," she objected.
Gohan smiled.
"Have you ever met an alien before now?"
Kristy just crossed her arms, waiting for him to continue.
"Guess not... Anyway, Nameks only drink water."
Kristy just blinked at that.
"Anything else?" Kristy took her cup and took a sip of her water.
"They're asexual," Gohan added. Kristy's water sprayed out of her mouth at that. She bent over and started coughing. Morron, who was sitting next to her, hit her back a few times.
"You okay?" Kristy sat up again.
"What do you mean ASEXUAL?!"
"Want the long story or the short?" Gohan asked casually.
Kristy thought for a moment. "I guess long."
Kristy was intrigued by it all. They had told her about the Nameks, themselves, battles, etc. It was amazing. It could of easily been a sci-fi story but she knew this was true since she witnessed some of their powers at the mall. Kristy was still confused by one thing though.
"Well, then why did those two people at the mall try to kill me?"
Future Trunks sighed and put his bowl of food down.
"The androids from my timeline tried to kill you because of your future significance."
"Ooooh...And what exactly is my future significance?"
Chichi filled in for F. Trunks.
"No one should know too much about their own destinies."
Kristy looked down and sighed. Shed nearly been killed and they werent even going to tell her exactly why.
Chichi, Bulma, and Videl began putting away dishes and such. The others had gone outside for some fresh air. The sun was setting in the sky. All of them-minus Piccolo who was meditating and Vegeta who was training in the gravity room-were lying out on the grass. Kristy sat up against a tree and watched the sunset. Goten went up to her. "Is this seat taken?" he asked, pointing to the spot of grass next to her.
"No," she replied with a slight smile. He smiled at her and sat down.
"Hows things going?"
"Im not really sure," she admitted.
"Dont worry, youll be home soon," he reassured her.
Kristy smiled at him.
"Thanks, I feel better." Goten leaned back in the tree some more.
"No problem."
The sky had quickly become dark. The stars stood out from the black sky. All of them admired the beauty of it. Goten pointed up to the sky.
"Look right there," he told Kristy.
Kristy followed his gaze.
"Theres the north star."
Kristy looked at it and smiled.
"Ive never really seen it until now."
Kristy turned to Goten.
"So is there a west and east star?" she joked.
Goten smiled.
An egg landed on Gotens face and slid down his pants.
"Oh! But theres a south star!" a voice came from above them.
They both looked up to see Trunks (the present one). He laughed wildly when he saw Gotens face.
"Im going to get you!" Goten yelled after wiping off the egg.
Trunks jumped down from the tree. Goten and Kristy both chased after him.
"Charge!" Pan yelled to the other kids.
Before they knew it, all the kids were running after Trunks. They laughed so hard that they had to stop to catch a breath. Chichi went into the doorway.
"Bedtime!" she called out.
"No," Trunks challenges. "We dont want to go to bed yet. Were not going to sleep."
"Oh yes, you are," she shot back.
"Oh no, were not."
By orders of Chichi, all of the adults ran after the kids. After not succeeding for awhile, they just ran after them and had a good time. The adults ended up catching them-all of them laughing, threw them over their shoulders or carried them around the waist, and hauled them into the house.
Kristy had made new friends and allies. At one moment, she truly knew that she was going to be okay.
