Dragonball: Future Foretold...

Chapter 1

"Trunks-kun!" Buruma called wondering where he was. Ever since he had returned from the future he had been acting strangely. It was 8 months today he had been back.

"Yes mother?" Trunks called back, his voice was somewhat muffled and he sounded like he was straining. Buruma knew where he was now. She walked over to the gravity machine and saw him training under 450 times gravity. She sighed and asked him to come out. Trunks did something very out of the ordinary then. He ignored her.

"Trunks Briefs! Get out here right now!" Buruma demanded. She knew he had ignored her, and was annoyed. Trunks flipped a switch and walked over to her avoiding eye contact at all times.

"Yes? What do you want Mother?" Trunks asked smugly.

"I want to know why you ignored me and why you have been spending so much time training. The Jinzoningen and Cell are gone Trunks. The Earth is at peace. You don't need to be any stronger."

"In the past, Father told me to never let my guard down even when a foe has been defeated. Always push yourself and you'll never have to ask 'What if?' when you finally do come up against another foe. I let my guard down and I died Mother. It will not happen again. I ignored you because I didn't want you to worry about what I'm going to ask you," Trunks paused collecting his thoughts then continued. "I want to know where Nameck-sei is. I want to wish everyone back, and see how different they were. I want us to be a family. I think Chi-Chi-san has a right to a family as well."

"If I knew where Nameck-sei was we'd have been there years ago Trunks-kun. But no one has any idea where it is."

"Would Kaio-sama? He's the one who found out where Nameck was the first time wasn't he?" Trunks asked still hopeful that his father could be wished back.

Buruma thought for a moment. "Maybe," she replied. "It's just I don't know how to contact him. And I doubt you do either."

"Mother, I'm going to Kami's tower. I have to speak to Popo-san. I don't know when I'll be back." Buruma nodded, knowing that his mind was made up.

"Be careful son. I couldn't go on without you." Trunks nodded as he flew up towards Kami's tower.

Over the other side of the city a young woman around 17 years old is laying on her bed dreaming of the past. Wondering if things could have been different as she closes her eyes she remembers the screams of her parent's and sees the look's of pure joy on the Jinzoningen's faces. She blinks away tears. Her name is Azaelya. She slowly drifts off to sleep crying about her parents, the Jinzoningen and the mysterious man who saved her life, Trunks Briefs.

Azaelya woke up with a jolt. It had been eight months and she was still having nightmares of her parent's death. Living alone in a shack didn't help much either, but today was different. Today luck was on her side. As she was walking around looking for food in a yet to be rebuilt part of Pepper city, something caught her eye. Laying in the middle of the road was someone’s wallet. This was too good an opportunity to pass up, but it felt wrong in a way. Nonetheless she took the wallet and walked away casually to the shopping center.


"Popo-san? Pop-san where are you? We need to talk." Trunks called out.

"Trunks-kun? Is that you?" Trunks nodded when he saw Popo step out of the large palace type room. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to ask a favor of you. I want to get in contact with Kaio-sama. Do you know how to do that?" Popo could not lie to him, as much as he wanted to he couldn’t.

"Yes. I do. But I don't think it's a good idea you go to his planet, surely you don't need his training--" trunks cut him off getting frustrated.

"I don't want his fucking training! I want my friends and my family back!" Trunks cried causing Popo to step back.

"Gohan-san told me that you would help the Z-Senshi no matter what, and I want some help. Please take me to Kaio's planet. From there we will go to Nameck-sei." Trunks was nearing the end of his sanity.

"You want to go to Nameck? Well actually I have mastered the Kai-Kai technique. I can get us there with just basic knowledge of a Nameck-jin chi signal!" Popo said smiling.

"You can?" Popo nodded.

"I can take you to Kaio's planet right now, then to Nameck. But I must return to Earth almost immediately."

Trunks sighed with relief when he heard this. He was finally going to see his friends and family once again. He only hoped they weren't too different from the one's in the past. Even if they were completely different he would have Gohan and his father back.

"Are you ready to go now?"

"Yeah. Well let's go." In an instant Trunks and Popo were on Kaio's planet. The Z-Senshi were silent, staring at Popo and Trunks who had arrived from nowhere.

"My...son." Vejita said, disbelief apparent in his tone and speed.

"Trunks-kun, what are you doing here?" Tenshinhan asked to break the awkward silence.
"I've come to speak to Kaio, I need to know the location or at least the direction of Nameck-sei. Where is he?"

"He's in his house talking to Gokou." Piccolo stated, "he doesn't want to be disturbed."

"You were a lot more friendly in the past Piccolo. Maybe I'll take you there sometime and you can learn to be more talkative and less cold." Trunks said smugly. Piccolo didn't like his comment and growled.

"Maybe that's because he hasn't spent the last 16 years dead Trunks. Do you know hat it's like to be dead?" Piccolo replied.

Trunks' expression changed. "Yes I do actually. I was killed by a monster called Cell he blasted my chest wide open but kept me alive long enough to wish I had taken my own life." Piccolo walked away with those words.

"Don't worry about him Trunks-kun. He's been dead for 16 years, not only that but he's been on this planetoid with Vejita, Tenshinhan, Kuririn and Father for around the same amount of time. It gets very cramped." Gohan said smiling. Trunks was happy to see Gohan’s face again as well as Vejita's.

"What about Yamucha and Chaotzu? Weren't they killed by the Jinzoningen?"

"Yeah Yamucha was, and they enjoyed killing him as well, seeing as he cried in pain. I was there they actually tore of his arms and broke both his legs before crushing the rest of his body." Gohan paused thinking back to when he saw Yamucha die. "After that he gave up fighting completely and didn't come with us but because he'd given his life already he was allowed to keep his body, same with Vejita, Piccolo, and everyone else.

"But what about Chaotzu?"

Tenshinhan intervened with this question. "Chaotzu ran off to his kingdom to reclaim his throne as emperor. He won’t be coming back."

"But you don't seem to be to worried. Wasn't he a really good friend of yours?"

"Yes he was. But during my first fight with the Jinzoningen Chaotzu tagged along, I was almost killed from protecting him rather than myself, and he ran off leaving me for dead. Kuririn saved me. When I found Chaotzu's at Kamesennin's he told me I should have died, I honestly didn't think the word bastard could affect people that deeply!"

"What? What do you mean by that?"

"When Chaotzu fled I called out bastard to him Kuririn heard me and when we got back to Kamesennin's after Chaotzu left he agreed that Chaotzu deserves what he gets now, and no one will ever think of him as a Z-Senshi anymore let alone a friend. And all those times I protected him, if I hadn't of treated Chaotzu like a brother and given a Kikoho to Nappa to avenge him I could have come to Nameck with you!" Tenshinhan laughed a sad laugh though. He was angry that Chaotzu had abandoned them.

"Funny that, you didn't seem that close to him when the Jinzoningen were attacking you in the past either. It was more like you were keeping an enemy close!" Trunks said light-heartedly. Tenshinhan smiled and walked off to spar with Piccolo.

"Huh? Is that Trunks-kun? I haven't seen you since you were about 6 months old! It is you isn't it?" Son Gokou’s voice broke through the conversations going on.

"Son-kun! I never thought I'd see you again!"

"Again? I didn't think you'd remember me after all these years! And Son-kun? You sure do take after Buruma! How is she anyway?" Gokou remarked surprised.

"Oh she's fine, she tries to be strong but I can tell she really misses you and Father."

"She's been through some tough times, how's Chi-Chi? Is she holding up very well?"

"She's doing better than everyone expected. Honestly though she want's you back which is why I need to talk to Kaio-sama." Trunks said looking around for him, Popo walked out of Kaio's house and signaled Trunks over his way.

"Trunks-kun, Kaio-sama can see you now. Do try to make it fast though." Trunks nodded but at the same time sighed in exasperation.

"I see Popo is still as stressed out as ever." Gohan said smirking.

"Popo get your ass over here." Vejita called out Popo a little worried walked over to him.

"Yes Vejita?"

"Let my son take as long as he wants. He is here to do the universe a favor. Okay." Popo nodded slowly. Kaio signaled to Trunks to come into his house.
He told Trunks to sit down and got him a drink "So Trunks-kun what is it you want from me? Popo didn't say."

"I want to know the location of Nameck-sei. I need to wish everyone back, I need to wish the earth back to what it was, and we need a new Kami."

"A new Kami? We'll have one as soon as Piccolo is wished back."

"That isn't good enough. When I went to the past Piccolo merged with Kami and became the strongest on the planet. The Dragonball’s became useless of course but Gokou went to Nameck-sei and retrieved Dende. When Dende became God the Dragonball’s were stronger than ever before, and this was only when he had a few hours to create them! With 6 months to create them, or longer, they could be stronger than the Nameck Dragonball’s!"

"Hmmm, I see. This could help Earth greatly, and I can see why you want to wish everyone back, but how will you get there? Gokou can't leave heaven."

"Popo knows the Kai-Kai technique. All we need to know is the basic direction."

"Alright then, I'll tell you. Its Northwest from here. Good luck."

"Thank you. Popo we're going." Trunks walked over to Popo and the two disappeared as fast as they had arrived.

Azaelya had never had this much money at one time before. It showed. She ran around buying incredibly expensive items, and continually laughing. She attracted the attention of a lot of boy's as well. The first one to approach her got a nasty shock.

"Hey cutie. Watch ya doin'?" He asked smugly. "You have really nice...talents!"

"What? You fucking pervert! I'll kill you!" Azaelya’s eyes narrowed as her fist flew into his face and foot into his ribs. Everyone was shocked except for three older women watching the argument.

"What did you do that for you bitch? I gave you a compliment!" He cried rubbing his cheek and holding his ribs. He pulled a knife out of his pocket and flicked the blade up.

"Hey, Benisao! Put your knife back we don't want any trouble with the police."

"I don't care and neither does she! Go if you want but I'll finish this!" The vein on his forehead looked like it was about to pop. Benisao thrust the knife right into her left breast he dropped the knife though and let out an ear splitting scream when he saw that he and stabbed an image of Azaelya and was having his arm broken by her. "Forgive me please! I didn't mean anything I was just having some fun!"

"Fun?! You call trying to kill me fun?! Christ! Are you insane?!" Benisao couldn’t say anything he was in too much pain.

“You just tried to kill me… what did you expect?” He spat out.

She turned around to see a police officer walking towards them. “Hey now! You two! Stop that!” He drew his gun when she pushed Benisao into a wall and knocked him unconscious.

“Shit! If they get me…” She immediately zanzokened to the other side of the complex, and continued to run, not watching where she was going. “Look out!” She screamed as she slammed into the cart of an older woman with blue hair.
