Fates Untold

Chapter 9

"Okay 573- 18220" Trunks said as he flew along ahead of the others.

He was surprised that they had all followed him without a fight; his own father had even followed. That was something amazing to Trunks, he had only glimpses of memories of his father, and a few stories he had heard from his mother. But to actually see him was outstanding to Trunks, he could see allot of the features that he had inherited from his father and determine that he was a good combination of the pair.

Then there was Gohan he had never thought of him being so young, but there he was he looked so vibrant and full of life. Something that Trunks' missed; the good times even though in his time they were few and far between he still cherished them.

"I kind of wish Pan was here she would have loved to see her father" he thought to himself as they landed.

Trunks looked behind him as all the other touched down soon after he did, including his mother. She had been hanging onto Yamcha for dear life the whole flight, if she only knew in a short time she would give birth to Vegeta's child. This was exactly the reason why his mother had specifically told him not to reveal his identity to the others, only Goku.

Trunks reaches into the front inside pocket of his jacket and pulls out a set dynocaps, he carefully selects the one he want, pushes the button to activate and throws it the ground. After the plum of dust disappears there is a little minifridge sitting on the ground.

"Goku won't be here for a little while yet. So we might as well relax while we wait" he says as he kneels down reaches into the fridge and pulls out a soda.

When he stood he turned to them and smiled shyly "I brought plenty so, help yourself if you're thirsty" he opens his soda. He didn't want them to think that he was trying something suspicious so he made sure the saw him drink it.

Bulma smiles at the young kid with the purple hair, something was familiar about him but she just couldn't put her finger on it. It was something was going to bug the hell out of her and she knew it, which always happened when she couldn't figure something out.

"Well then I'll have something" she says with a grin. Yamcha looks at her like she's crazy but she ignores him.

"Me too" said Gohan as he ran up to the fridge.

Now Krillen gave an awkward, worried look, he knew if something happened to Gohan Chi -Chi would kill him.

"Hey wait Gohan!" he said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Gohan like Bulma ignored Krillen and started to search through the fridge he looks up and smiles at Trunks. "Thanks Mister... okay what sounds good" he says contemplating what he wanted while searching.

Trunks couldn't help but smile he wondered if Gohan realized how powerful he was going to become in the years to come. He knew at his age he couldn't even fathom the thought, of being a super saiyan.

Bulma looked over the selections "Hmm... that weird I've never seen any of these brands before" but she reaches in and grabs something.

She and Gohan take a drink it surprisingly very good and refreshing.

"Hey, this is great!" says Gohan. "Yeah, it is" says Buma with a smile.

Krillen after seeing that neither Gohan, Bulma nor the kid with the purple hair didn't fall over dead from poison feels his mouth go dry just watching them.

"Hey... uh yah got any grape" he says, the other's still a little suspicious look at him and the others like the have lost their minds completely.

Vegeta looked at the purple haired freak, "Just look at him… there's no way he's a saiyan of any kind, not with that ridiculous hair. He's as bad as that woman and her clown hair" he thought. Vegeta watched as the stupid woman named… what was her name Bullmoose, bantered back and forth with the suspicious newcomer.

"Hey how do you know my dad anyway?" asks Gohan as he sips his drink.

Trunks smiles it was so weird listening to Gohan, he was so small he could never think of Gohan being anything but tall and strong. "Well I've never had the honor of meeting him face to face. I only know him by reputation" said Trunks trying not to give out any more information the he needed to.

Krillen got a confused look on his face "So how did you guys plan this? How do you know he's going to be here in three hours?" he asked.

Trunks blushed slightly he wished he could tell them more, but if events that needed play out didn't he would be in trouble. "I'm sorry guys I can't tell you that" he says with a sigh.

Vegeta gave a suspicious sneer, "He doesn't know Kakarott, but he can't tell us why he knew. Something's fishy here and I'm going to find out what even if I have to beat it out of this kid" he thought.

"Oh you can't, well I demand answers starting with who you are! Where's a boy like you get that kind of power" Vegeta ordered.

The tension was beginning to rise and Trunks was starting to feel the heat of everyone's eye on him, he looked down at the ground trying to avoid their eyes. Then there was a voice of reason, surprisingly from the youngest person around.

"Um… when you defeated Frieza and that big guys with him, you were a super saiyan right?" asked Gohan with a gentle voice. Trunks was so grateful to him being so calm about everything, he knew that if Gohan had been suspicious of him that all of this probably wouldn't work.

Trunks looked up after Gohan asked "I guess you could say that yeah" he said.

"GIVE ME A BREAK!" growled Vegeta "There are exactly two saiyan's left in the universe, myself and Kakarott, three if you count the little half breed here. Frieza saw to it that our race was almost wiped from existence. So there is no way you could be a saiyan, right!" confronted Vegeta. He wasn't about to let this imposter go until he knew exactly what his plans were. And if Vegeta didn't get the answers he wanted, he was going to dispose of this whelp for even suggesting that he could be a saiyan.

Gohan looked over at Vegeta, was he blind he thought "He was totally a super saiyan; he even had the crazy blonde hair to go with it" said Gohan.

Vegeta rolled his eyes, this child was as foolish and naive as his father, "But the hair of a saiyan would be black the rest of the time" said Vegeta in rebuttal.

Trunks swallowed hard this was getting deep and he was beginning to worry that he might have to go up against his own father. That wasn't something he wanted to do especially since his parents hadn't even gotten together yet.

Bulma glances over at the kid and notices the logo on his jacket, the patch on his shoulder is obviously Capsule Corp. "Hey that's a Capsule Corp logo are you and employee?" she asked.

Trunks internally sighed now his mother was getting in on this he wished Goku would pop up a little early so he could get out of here and back home. "No, I'm definitely not an employee" he said slightly blushing.

Bulma smiled "I didn't think so; well then what your name can't you at least tell us that" she asked putting her hands on her hips. There was something about this kid and she was going to find out what it was.

"Actually no… I can't tell you my name, but I can tell you I'm seventeen" he said hoping that his age wouldn't hurt anything, but possibly get them to back off a little.

Yamcha, Tien Shin Han all agree that a person that won't divulge their name is a little suspicious, and one with amazing powers like a super saiyan was even more of a scary thought.

Bulma rolls her eyes these they're all getting worked up "Come on guys can't we stop grilling him, "No Name" here did defeat Frieza once and for all and he hadn't the whole planet would have been blown away" she turned and winked at the lavender haired kid.

Trunks blushed at his mother's praise and the wink didn't help, he had never been able to take compliments very well.

They all decided to cool down, the questions stopped but Trunks could still feel suspicious eyes on him as they all sat and waited for Goku to arrive. Everyone had their own conversations going on…

"Hey, Piccolo when the dragon wished the planet back for all the other Namekians why didn't you go with them. They are your people didn't you want to be with them?" asked Gohan.

Piccolo chuckled a little "And live happily with my brethren is that what you mean, frankly If I had gone with them I would have been bored out of my mind" replied Piccolo.

Gohan scratched his head "Oh is that why your train all the time… to keep from being bored" said Gohan.

Piccolo smirked "Yeah, more or less" the kids questions were slightly amusing to him deep down Gohan had grown on him. The kid was more powerful than he could have ever imagined, and hopefully if his mother didn't ruin him he would be able to help his father protect the Earth.

Bulma listening to Gohan and Piccolo's conversation turns to Krillen "Vegeta's the same way, he can't stand to sit around all he ever does in train" she says.

Krillen nods his head and agrees "Yeah the guy has a serious hang up about being stronger then Goku doesn't he. I've never seen anyone with so much pride, of course he was a saiyan prince" replied Krillen.

Bulma looks at Vegeta and then at the no name boy, then back at Vegeta "They look alike don't they" she says.

Krillen raises an eyebrow at Bulma, was she crazy or something "Who does?" he asks unsure of what she really meant.

"Vegeta and the mystery boy, I'm not making this up take a look" she said.

Krillen looked at the boy, then at Vegeta, then back at the boy "Huh… I guess if squint just right" he said. Really what was Bulma trying to say… that the boy was related to Vegeta?

Trunks glanced over at Vegeta, "What is with that pink shirt he's wearing… Kami mom must have made him wear it" he thought.

Vegeta was growing impatient and tired at everyone's glances at him, especially the boys "Keep staring am I so fascinating to you. If you're the saiyan you claim to be, certainly you've seen one of our kind before" Vegeta remarked.

Trunks swallowed he didn't realize he had been staring at his father, "Well… I haven't" he said.

Tien Shin Han sat next to Chiaotzu "I suppose he could have heard about Goku in space, and the decided to meet him here. You think that's too much of a stretch?" he said.

Chiaotzu looked over at the mysterious boy "I don't know Tien he looks like he's from here on Earth" he said.

Trunks looked down at his watch it was almost time for Goku to arrive he stood up from the rock he was sitting on. "It's been three hours everyone Goku's ship should be touching down any minute now" Trunks said as he dusted off his pants.

"Really!" said Bulma excitedly it felt like she hadn't seen her good friend in forever, she knew that she would have to throw a big party at her house tonight.

Everyone looked up in the sky, the kid was right they could feel him coming. Then sounds of an engine blasting through the clouds, it looks like the space pod that Vegeta had come to Earth in.

The pod impacts on the ground just a few yards away from them, dust debris and rocks fly up as it crashes down. They all run towards hoping to catch the first glance of their good friend that had been training in space.

The pod opens up and Goku steps out he was glad to be home, he really missed his family, friends and Chi-Chi's cooking. He's surprised to see everyone standing around the crater that the pod had just made in the ground. He had a confused look as he looked around at all his friends "Dad!" cheered Gohan.

Goku scratched his head "What are all you guys doing out in the middle of nowhere?" he asked. Everyone began to cheer and jump, Piccolo even grinned. Vegeta looked like he always did with scowl, but Goku didn't worry about it too much.

"Seriously guys how'd you know where I'd be, it's not like I called ahead" said Goku as he flew to the top of the crater standing in front of everyone.

"It's all because of him, he knew exactly when and where you were going to show up" said Bulma.

"Yeah dad he's a friend of yours isn't he?" asked Gohan.

Goku looked at the boy Bulma was pointing at "Who are you?" he asked, everyone gasp they were sure that the boy must have met Goku at some point.

"Wait a sec, you don't know who he is?" asked Bulma.

Goku looked at him again "Sorry I've never met the kid" said Goku still scratching his head.

"Well if he's not your friend Goku, how'd he know exactly when and where you'd be" asked Bulma.

Goku stood there and thought for minute "Come to think of it Frieza had a lock on my ship, so they would have known I'm coming. Who put him in his place anyway? I felt some crazy energy, was it you Piccolo, or was it you Vegeta?" he said.

"He was defeated… by this stranger faster than you could blink" said Piccolo.

"Huh?" Goku was even more confused now.

"And he can transform into a super saiyan, just like you" continued Piccolo.

Goku looked at the kid "Wow, a super saiyan you don't say… Wow way to kid congratulations on that, I'm surprised. Vegeta said that there wasn't any saiyans left" he said.

"Fool, what part of our planet exploded don't you get!" yelled Vegeta how Kakarott could be so dense.

"Well… I guess it doesn't really matter either way" said Goku with a smile.

"Yes it does matter mister, I guess you still don't take anything seriously do you" said Bulma crossing her arm across her chest.

"Huh I don't?" said Goku confused.

Trunks glad to see that everyone was together but it was time to get down to the reason why he was here. "Goku, I need to have a word with you" he said trying to sound serious.

"Uh… okay" said Goku.

"But… just the two of us" said Trunks.

Goku caught on to the seriousness of the kid and nodded his head; obviously he had something important to say or he wouldn't have made such an effort. "Alright then" he says as he and Trunks walk away leaving the others in shock.

They fly off to try to get out of ear shot of the others Trunks is grateful that Goku trusts him enough at the moment to talk to him. But when they land Trunks is sure that Goku will need a little more convincing before he would actually believe what he has to say.

"Hey kid I wanted to thank you for defeating Frieza, I thought would be back in time to defeat him" said Goku.

Trunks nodded "It's alright Frieza's ship landed a whole three hours before you did. I'm afraid by the time you got here there wouldn't have been an Earth by the time you got back" said Trunks.

"That's what you think; you see I learned a new technique while I've been in space. It's a trick they call Instant Transmission" said Goku.

Trunks had a surprised look on his face "Like… teleporting" said Trunks.

"Yeah I picked it up for these people on a planet called Yardrat. I was about to zip in here and take care of Frieza but you beat me to the punch" chuckled Goku.

"Huh… what oh no I had no idea that you had those sort of skills at your disposal. I didn't know that you could have intervened with Frieza in time. Which mean I needlessly interfered with history" said Trunks in a disappointed tone of voice. "I've messed up the timeline even more by meeting the others, when all I had to do was meet you" said Trunks.

"Timeline… what's going on?" asked Goku

"Yes, but first I have a question. When you turn super saiyan can you control it?" Trunks asked

Goku scratched his head "Well at first it was kind of hard, and it almost took everything out of me to transform. But now I can practically do it at will, why?" said Gohan.

"That's amazing Goku, I would have never guessed you were so powerful, do you mind showing me if it's not too much to ask" asked Trunks.

Goku was still confused but he didn't sense and evil from this kid so he didn't see the harm in it, and Goku was curious about him as well. Could he really go super saiyan as well?

"Well alright I guess" said Goku he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and with hardly any effort turned super saiyan.

"Amazing you do look like I do when I turn super saiyan… Well I guess I should return the favor" Trunks said as he went super as well.

"That's so awesome, you must be something kid if you can do that" said Goku.

Trunks pulled out his sword he had to test Goku to see if all this was even worth it. He pulled out his sword and went straight for Goku. Goku didn't even flinch and Trunks stopped just shy of his face, everyone on the other side of the crater gasped.

"Why didn't you dodge?" asked Trunks.

Goku smirked "I don't sense any evil intentions from you, I was sure you wouldn't follow through" said Goku.

Trunks nodded and realized that Goku was not the type to fight irrationally "Alright I'm going to come at you again and I won't hold back this time" said Trunks.

He came at Goku with clean slices… but it didn't faze him Goku just blocked every single attack with hid finger. The others on the other side could barely see the pair move, well except for Piccolo and Vegeta. Vegeta growled as he watched the pair go super saiyan and fight like it was some sort of game.

After the small sparring session Goku and Trunks power down "Wow Goku your as powerful as I've been told. Now it's time for me to tell you who I am and why I'm here, but I have to say this is strictly confidential and should stay only between us two or it could result in dire consequences. My name is Trunks and I'm from approximately twenty years in the future. When Vegeta said that there were no other saiyan's he was right to an extent. What makes it even more humorous is that he's… my father. I about two years I'll be born" explained Trunks.

Goku's eyes went wide "Seriously that means Vegeta is going to… wow that just blows my mind" he turns and looks back at Vegeta. "Alright Vegeta you go man" he cheers quietly "Who knew Vegeta was going to be a daddy, well if he's your dad then who's your…"

"Goku that's not the important thing I came to tell you", said Trunks cutting Goku off before he got off topic. His mom had warned him that it might be hard to keep Goku's attention especially when he's excited about something. "I need your help Goku before everything is lost… three years from now on the twelfth of May at some time around ten in the morning. On an island nine miles out of South City, some of the most evil foes you will ever face will make themselves known. They're a pair of monsters, which were created by the Red Ribbon Army's resident lunatic Dr. Gero" explained Trunks.

Goku gasped "How can that be I wiped them out a long time ago" said Goku.

"I know but Gero managed to survive and decided to take his revenge by creating two of the most powerful villains you have ever faced. I tried my best to defeat them Goku but they're just too strong" Trunks was beginning to become emotional.

"Hey hold on kid, why did you go against those things by yourself? Isn't there anyone that could have helped you?" asked Goku resting his hand on Trunk's shoulder.

"No Goku in my time I'm the only warrior left, Yamcha, Krillen, Piccolo and all the others have been defeated even my father. And because Piccolo is gone so are the dragon balls so there's no way to wish back anyone that might be able to help. The only one that managed to get away with his life was your son Gohan. He was the one that trained me to be a warrior and to be a saiyan…that is until he…" Trunks growled and clenched his fists. Just the thought of Gohan made his blood boil and want rip the androids apart.

"What do you mean? Not even I'm there to help you" said Goku.

"No Goku, you never even go against them not long form now you're going to come down with an illness that attacks your heart. I'm afraid Goku… you won't recover" Trunks says solemnly.

"A heart virus, and… I don't even get a chance to fight them that's not fair. Why do I have to miss all the fun" said Goku.

Trunks is astonished "You mean after all that the only thing you're worried about is that you didn't get to fight them. Aren't you scared?" asked Trunks.

"Well yeah… but if I could fight them I would get a chance to see what I'm made of you know" said Goku.

"Wow Goku you're truly the warrior I was hoping you were. Gohan and my mom weren't exaggerating in the least" he said with a smile. Finally there was some hope, he pulled the vial of medicine out of his jacket pocket and handed it to Goku.

"When the symptoms of the virus start use this vial" he says.

"Huh what's this?" asked Goku.

"It's medicine for the virus. There's no cure for it your time but in twenty year we've got it about licked. Use that vial like I told you and you'll be fine" said Trunks.

"Wow gee thanks Trunks this is great, it's purple too. Cool I bet its grape flavored!" Goku said excitedly as he shook the vial.

"I so glad I could get this to you Goku; my mom told me that if anyone could help it's you. She wouldn't have made the time machine if she didn't have all confidence in you" said Trunks he was starting to feel a little homesick, for his mother, Ms. Chi-Chi, and Pan.

"Huh, hold on just a second your mom built the time machine, she'd have to be a genius just like…" panicked Goku. Was the kid saying what he thought, but that wasn't possible… was it.

Trunks blushed and pointed to Bulma across the crater "Yes she's my mom".

Goku falls over from shock "So… Vegeta and Bulma!" exclaimed Goku.

Vegeta looks across as the boy points across the crater and Goku falls over "Ridicules that fool Kakarott is such an idiot" he thinks to himself. "How long are they going keep use waiting" he complains.

Goku sighs and stands up again "Wow of all the things you told me that takes the cake. I always figured Bulma and Yamcha would settle down one of these days. But her and Vegeta I can't even wrap my head around that" Goku turned and looked back at the group. This was nuts how is that possible.

Trunks couldn't help but blush even more, was it really so impossible for his parents to get together. "Anyway she and Yamcha broke up and there was Vegeta. She told me how he looked so lonesome" said Trunks.

"Still the two of them, I never would have guessed. Though I suppose it does sound like something Bulma would do, now that you've explained it" said Goku still looking at the pair across the crater. If they only knew that this boy was their son.

Trunks smiled and looked at his father again "I was just a baby when we lost my father, so I don't remember anything about him. Meeting him today was pretty interesting to say the least… Please don't say anything about any of the stuff I've told you but especially that. If you mention it and thing wind up getting weird between the two of them. I might blip out of existence because they want… want you know" pleaded Trunks.

"Don't worry it's our secret" said Goku with confidence.

"Well that about covers it, I guess I should be getting back to the future. I can tell my mom that I finally got to meet the one and only Goku" Trunks nodded.

"Right and tell her thanks for the medicine too. This ought to shake things up don't you think?" Goku said tossing the medicine in his hand.

Trunks smiled "Yeah with you in the game, we might stand a chance of winning this fight" said Trunks looking back at Goku with a smile.

"So… is this goodbye?" asked Goku.

"I don't know… it takes us months to charge up the time machine for a round trip. But if I can stay out of harm's way until its ready, you can count on seeing me again. In three years' time" said Trunks.

"Alright, then you be sure to make it back in the mean time I'll be training non-stop these next three years to make sure it's worth your trip" says Goku.

Trunks smiles while giving Goku a thumbs up then flies off, catching one last glance of his mother and father before he heads in the direction of the time machine.

"I hope what I did worked; I guess I'll know once I get back home if anything has changed. Wouldn't it be wonderful to come home and find a peaceful world with no androids" he thought to himself. It wasn't long till he landed next to the machine. "I hope everyone at home is doing okay" he said as he entered the cockpit of the machine. "I think I'll do a fly over everyone before I leave just to say goodbye" he said as the engines began to hum.

He hovers above the group and the all look up astonished, obviously they believed Goku now. He looked down at them all "Father your just home mom described… powerful… full of pride and so distant, please keep yourself safe" he then turned to Bulma. "And mom… good luck to you… be strong" he said even though he knew that they couldn't hear him. Trunks waved and smiled as the ship continued to ascend and in a flash the ground below him disappeared and he was surrounded by the shooting stars once again.
