During the morning I made myself eat something, even through the nervousness. A little after before noon Frieza was felt by Piccolo so we made our way to where Frieza was supposed to land.
We were the first ones there and I was in work mode. I actually went a little ways away, my plan being to literally just observe and not interact unless needed. I didn't need to worry about being sensed so simply hiding was enough.
Pretty soon the others were arriving. Piccolo was asked where I was and he told them I had an emergency to take care of. They all milled around waiting for Frieza to land. I watched, using the air as a sort of camera, Frieza's ship sit in the atmosphere, he wasn't moving. Suddenly I saw Frieza and his father on the outside of the ship, a small ball of energy beginning to form. He was gonna go straight to blowing up the earth!
"Fuck," I yelled, flying as fast as I possibly could to Frieza's ship. I didn't really have a lot of time to think of a great plan so I just gathered as much energy as I could possibly handle from the earth. I also made sure to have some oxygen around me since I was going so high.
I made it there in seconds. Flew straight through the ship and released the energy in a controlled blast. There was nothing left of Frieza, King Cold, or their ship. I ducked back into the atmosphere for life-sustaining oxygen.
Manipulating and using that much ki made me really tired so I just gently floated down to the others. As I neared them Piccolo came to me and provided me with some support.
"What happened," called Gohan as I landed.
"Frieza was going to skip straight to blowing up the earth. So I dealt with it. Things aren't over though, well with Frieza things are over, but there's still things that need to happen," I told them, leaning on Piccolo.
"And what's that supposed to mean," snarked Vegeta.
"It means what I said, the day isn't done." I was only sort of paying attention to them, as I was looking out for Trunks to arrive. I could sort of hear Vegeta bitching but I ignored him.
Finally after a handful of minutes I saw him arrive in the time machine. I also gained a lot of my energy back so I stood waiting impatiently for him, he was late according to earth. He put the time machine back into it's capsule and seemed confused.
"I'm gonna go talk to our new visitor, don't follow me," I flew off towards Trunks. I called out to him, "Hello there, I need to speak to you."
He watched me land in front of him, keeping his guard up. "Who are you?"
"I'm the warden of earth, but more importantly I have the same goals as you, Trunks. Keeping the timeline correct and making sure everyone stays alive."
"How do you know my name?"
"Because I'm from a different... reality. That's the closest I can explain it with our current knowledge," I sense that the others were getting too close and they may hear us. I put up a hand as a pause and looked towards where the others were hiding. I then made a go away motion with that hand, blowing the others away with a strong gust of wind.
"There we go. Just like there are things they can't know about you, there are things they can't know about me, at least not yet. Where I come from this entire thing is a story and I'm trying to keep things the way they are."
"So you know why I'm here?"
"Yup, you came from the future, because androids, and Bulma and Vegeta are your parents. Everyone's dead except you and your mom, Gohan trained you then died, and that's how you became super saiyan."
