Memory of the Sun

Chapter 29: Another Challenge On The Horizon

"And that's the whole story..." Piccolo finished, everyone looking at him in shock as they listened to his words. "In three years, all of us except Gohan are supposed to die in a battle with the androids... But now that we know, maybe we can change that."

"What a kook... He's cracked!" Yamcha laughed, unable to believe someone could actually be strong enough to defeat them all. "Don'tcha think?"

"I'm not so sure..." Bulma said lowly, wondering if it could really be true. Everything else the young fighter told them had come true...

"He's been right so far..." Luna chimed in, looking around at all her friends seriously.

I wish it wasn't true... She thought to herself, a shiver going down her spine as she recalled Trunks' words. I don't want to see anyone get hurt...

"Believe what you want to believe..." Piccolo grumbled, knowing exactly what he was going to do. "As for me, I want to live. So I'm going to train... You can risk it, but I'm going to be prepared..."

"Look, there he is!" Yamcha said, pointing up as everyone looked at the strange ship floating above them. Trunks waved goodbye to them all, looking at his mother and father for a moment longer before pressing a few buttons and disappearing back to his own time.

"He's gone..." Krillin muttered in confusion, wondering if this day could get any weirder.

"Yeah, back to the future..." Piccolo rasped, knowing they all had precious little time...

"How strange... I could have sworn he was waving goodbye to me..." Bulma mumbled, unable to explain why she felt so suddenly attached to the strange boy. Gosh... Goodbye whoever you are...

"Man, I'm going to train you guys..." Tien said seriously as Chiaotzu nodded his head in agreement.

"Me too." Yamcha chimed in as everyone else agreed.

"Yeah, I am too..." Krillin mumbled as Gohan smirked up at him, nodding as well.

Another Super Saiyan... Vegeta thought with a growl, grinding his teeth together as he fought to stay calm. I've got to have it... I've got to experience it! He cursed internally, wondering how low class rejects like Kakarot were able to ascend to the legendary transformation of his people before him, the prince of said race...

Luna frowned, still slowly processing everything she had learned today. Vegeta and Bulma... She thought, her face slowly changing from confusion to amusement. I can't believe those two are going to have a baby! Trunks... Luna thought happily, giggling to herself as she realized there would soon be a cute baby to play with.

"Wow... Gosh dad, do you really believe that guy came from the future?" Gohan asked, interrupting her train of thought as she glanced over at both of them.

"Yes I do son... Yes I do." Goku answered confidently, staring up at the sky for a moment before looking back at all of his friends. "By the way... I can teleport!" The Saiyan announced happily, flashing them all a huge smile before vanishing and reappearing a second later wearing a pair of shades. "Check it!"

Luna's eyes went wide as she watched him show off his new ability as everyone else seemed just as shocked.

"But aren't those..." Krillin mumbled, trailing off as he recognized the red sunglasses he was now wearing.

"But Master Roshi's on the whole other side of the world!" Yamcha shouted, not believing he was actually able to move that fast.

"Yep yep!" Goku confirmed with a smile, adjusting the glasses on his face as he continued. "I just have to imagine him and poof! There I go! Learned it out in space..."
