Trunks POV - Dragon Ball Universe(01), Earth, West City - Age 796

  I run, I tinue running through the streets of this devastated and crumbling city while making sure to keep my Ki hidden so that He doesn't fi the same time, I make sure to keep looking at my surroundings and at the sky to not only search for possible pces to hide in case it is needed but also to look out for any sign of that monster.

  Suddenly, I take notice of a glowing light that is quickly moving around in the sky, and without aation, I immediately hide behind a nearby rumble while ensuring that my Ki is basically uable and keep staring at the sky waiting and hoping for Him to fly away without notig me while thinking, 'Even if He still isn't able to sense Ki, I still have to be very careful. I still remember the stories that Goza-san told me about his adventures as a Gatic Patrolmaold me that he learo never uimate an oppo who 't sense Ki because oneone reaches a certain level of power learning such a skill bees quite easy, especially when these oppos have a sudden need for such a skill. He told me of oppos who were able to pick up Ki Sense in the middle of a freic battle. This means that it is only a matter of time before a monster as powerful as Him also learns to sense Ki.'

  While thinking that, I look at His figure which is mostly hidden by the thick, dark clouds up in the sky as it zooms around the area, before stopping at a random point in the distand ung a barrage of Ki Bsts causing further destru all over the area in the hope of flushing me or some other members of the resista.

  Luckily, I'm located just outside the abandoned area He had attacked, so I wasn't forced to leave my hidden spot running into the risk of being spotted.

  Shortly after ung that barrage of Ki Bsts, He doesn't waste any time cheg if his attack had a and casually starts to fly away.

  Seeing that, I wait for a few moments before I walk out of my hiding spot, take a brief look at the burning ruins of the city, and then start to run once again toward my destination.

  After some time, I finally reach my destination, the building Mom is using as a hiding spot and temporary boratory, I stop in front of the door for a few seds to catch my breath, after all stantly running around all over the city without using Ki and with the fear of being discovered thus ruining the st ce we have to fix everything be quite tiring.

  I also couldn't ighe stant worry and fear of arriving here only to find everythiroyed and Mom dead, luckily everything was fine which made me let out a sigh of relief.

  At the same time, I 't help but think, 'I 't believe that a year has already passed since I saw Mom for the st time. Shortly after He arrived and this disaster started, Mom immediately went into hiding to work on a way to find help o became clear that no one could stop Him...'

  Doh catg my breath, I don't wait anymore and rush into the building, then, after running through a few corridors and stairs, I rea's Lab, and seeing the figure of her back, I call her out, "Mom!"

  Mom turns around and looks at me for a sed before a smile forms on her face as she calls out, "Trunks!"

  At this moment, I take a close look at her to make sure that she is alright, but while looking at her face, I 't help but think once again, 'No matter how many times I see it, I still find it surprising that despite being in her sixties, Mom has retained much of her youthful appearance, looking basically the same as her younger terpart. The only real difference is that she has long hair, which she styles in a ponytail, and that the way she dresses is more servative. Sometimes, I wonder if she used the Dragon Balls to wish for eternal youth or if her genes are just that good. I mean when Grandma was around her age she also didn't look a day older than 30...'

  Mom currently is wearing a white b coat that she fully unbuttons, a short-sleeved undershirt of pink color, with the colr being white, a pair of gray-blue jeans, with light blue folded sleeves at the edge, and bck shoes with white soles.

  Spoiler

  [colpse](AN: I don't know if it is just me, but for some reason, I find Future Bulma much hotter tha Bulma, maybe the reason is the longer hair and kititude, or maybe her MILF aura just feels stronger...)

  After ensuring that Mom is fine, I start to walk up to her while she says, "I'm gd you're safe. You look well."

  Hearing that, I smile and reply, "Yes. You haven't ged, Mom." before I notice the gss tank almost halfway full of a glowing blue liquid.

  At the same time, Mom says, "This is for a one-way trip." which makes me excim in worry, "Only this much... After a period of one year?"

  In response, Mom kindly tries to reassure me, "Don't make that face. We'll somehow mah orip."

  I turn to look back at her as I try to express my fears, "But... If I go with just one-way worth of fuel..." but Mom interrupts me and states in a fident tone, "I'm sure there's a way to e back. I'm betting on it."

  Hearing that, I smile feeling a little more fident before I request, "You were w ihis eime, right? Please, rest for a while."

  But Mom frows before she says, "W is good for me. I'll finish in some time."

  At the same time, she taps a few keys on the mae that rodug the fuel for the Time Mae causing it to release, and carefully seals the gss tank before she turns off the mae and adds, "We o hurry and take this to Capsule Corporation."

  Hearing that, I do not hesitate to say a, "I will go. Please, rest here for a while, Mom." before I ask worried knowing how she is, "Did you get any sleep, at all?" but Mom simply smiles and says, "I'm ing with you as well. Just in case, if that guy attacks you and you're alone..."

  Then she picks up the gss tank and tinues, "This tank might get destroyed and our 1 year of hard work will go to waste."

  Hearing that, I 't help but nod and say, "I uand." which makes Mom smile slightly before her expression turns serious, and says, "Also, Trunks... In order to make this energy, many lives were lost. Never fet that. You must aplish oal, even if it means throwing everything else away. You're everyone's hope, after all!" to which I only reply with a nod and by saying a simple, "Yes."

  Then Mom says, "e o's go. Mai is waiting." before she turns the cap of the tank taining the fuel which activates the shielding teology that Mom installed iank that covers the gss with a hard, bck material that is strong enough to easily withstand a regur explosion.

  After that, we don't waste any more time and quickly leave behind Mom's Temporary Lab heading toward the rendezvous point where Mai is waiting for us.

  But as we are heading there, we hear the explosion in the distance making Mom lightly ent, "Oh my... He really is relentless, but I still don't uand why He doesn't simply destroy Earth instead of hunting down every single living being like that, he is more than capable of doing that." In response, I smile wryly and reply in a dry and resigone, "Maybe this is all some kind of sadistic game for Him. He is simply having some fun bringing as much pain to us all." but then Mom says in a fident tone, "Don't worry Trunks. We will find a way to stop Him and save our world."

  Son Goza POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Universe 7, West Area - Age 779

  I'm calmly sitting on the seat of my personal Space Ship which is quickly flying toward my destination, P Ndundero, at the same time, I'm rexing aing my mind wander.

  After the Random Battle, whifortunately ended with my loss, I spent some more time with my former oppo and now new friend Jayr in the Walking Dead Universe helping and proteg those unfortunate people and knowing Jayr better as a person and that sted until Jayr created a cure for the Virus that caused everything after he did that, we left.

  Talking about my loss in the Random Battle, I have to say that I was quite disappointed by it at first, not that my oppo pulled some cheap shot or cheated as he defeated me in a pretty straightforward way, but the loss of my Blessing and thus my Soulbouory with all its tent retty heavy blow.

  Luckily, Jayr gave me everything bad created a Spatial Bag with enough spaside to tain a universe t them around to make up for the loss of the Soulbouory, the only thing he kept was the Seed of the Tree of Might that he pnted in his own Soulbouory.

  Not that I mind too much about it, after all, I kinda fot about it shortly after I took it from Turles as I didn't find the right po pnt it, and at the time, didn't think about pnting it in my own Soulbouory as I only thought of it as a ste spad at most an emergency escape tool e, quite the mistake, especially after I have seen what Jayr did to his own Soulbouory.

  He tur into some kind of paradise where not only did he grow everything he may need, but also where he protected and nurtured powerful entities who were ready to fight for him in case he , which made me realize that the bigger and more prosperous his Soulbouory became, the more powerful and dangerous Jayr bees.

  Anyway, after returning from the Walking Dead Universe, I watched the Tour of Destroyers with Jayr and his Digimon Partner Patamon enjoying the showy battles between Universe 7 and Universe 6 which obviously ended up with Universe 7 Victory.

  After that, we all returned back to Earth and spent a few days rexing before taking part in the Victory Celebration Party anizated by Bulma-san and then I had to spar with Father to show him the Super Saiyan 4 transformation.

  I have to admit that it felt amazing showing off the result of my training to Father, but after that, he aa-san almost stantly nagged me to spar with them, so, to avoid that, I decided to return to work as Gatic Patrolman, after all, they still pay me and I have been missing from work for some time, luckily being one of the best and stro Gatic Patrolmen has its perks and on top of that, Cell also took my pce while I was away so it didn't cause too much problem.

  Now, the reason why I'm heading to Ndundero is that the Mai Gang once again escaped from the Gactic Prison, and we have received fidential information that the Mai Gang is heading there to steal and trade valuable and very dangerous mineral named Para which is fual for the creation of p-destroying ons.

  Obviously, the trade of such mineral is very, very restricted, to the point that if some p is found guilty of trading Para without authorization, the Gatic Patrol is allowed to use extreme force against the p iion, which means that a Gatic Patrolman is even allowed to use the Extin Bomb ialiation if he or she deems it necessary.

  After thinking about that, I focus ba the moment and take a look at the universe map to firm my current position and the current distaween my destination, P Ndundero, and me, before I let my mind wander once more, but this time, thinking about what is going to happen in our immediate future, 'At any point now, the "Future" Trunks Saga is going to happen, which means that we are going to fa immortal Zamasu and a very powerful Goku Bck...'

  Thinking about that, I 't help but let out a sigh before I mutter, "In the end, I decided to let the events of the "Future" Trunks Saga unfold as they should by not making any move against Zamasu for the very simple reason that Father, Vegeta and the others his battle to push themselves even more. After all, the stronger everyone is, the better is for everyone in the universe."

  Shortly after saying that, I also sidered another small issue that made me e up with that clusion, "On top of that, there is also the small issue of Zamasu owning the Time Ring... I never fully uood how all this fusing time-traveling thing truly worked with Future Trunks and all the other timelines, but I'm pretty sure reading somewhere in my past life that the Time Ring gave Zamasu some kind of prote that made it impossible to kill the "Future" Zamasu who owns the ring by killing the past one making Zamasu and Goku Be kind of iable problem."

  While saying that, I also think about another factor that makes me more than willing to let Father and the others face Zamasu and Goku Bck, 'There is also the issue that I 't wiour of Power on my own, even more so because my version of the Tour of Power is going to be pletely uable now thanks to Jayr's presend his friendship with Zeno. I mean, the guy randomly went to spend time with the absolute being in my universe and turned him into a fan of Anime, Manga, Movies, and Games! If a normal Zeno already be quite uable, a "Cultured" Zeno is nothing short htening... At least, thanks to Jayr's Seed of Culture, I don't have to worry about my universe suddenly getting erased...'

  At this point, I focus on the windshield of my Space Ship admiring the enting sight of the fast-moviial bodies, and ent, "At least, even if Zamasu and Goku Bck are aable issue, they shouldn't be too much of a problem to deal with. Using Legendary Super Full Power Saiyan 4 is should be able to easily overwhelm Goku B his Super Saiyan Rosè form. Meanwhile, I deal with Immortal Zamasu using the Evil tai Wave. I fully learhe teique from Master Roshi years ago and prepared dozens of tainers so the mess that happened in the anime wouldn't happen. On top of that, even in the case that everything goes wrong for one reason or another and Infinite Zamasu still happens, I always use the card Get Out Of Jail Free named Jayr and ask him to deal with Zamasu. After all, the level of power of that guy is truly unfathomable... I still clearly remember that crazy transformation and that single, crazy punch that ripped apart a whole universe reinforced by the cepts themselves..."

  Trunks POV - Dragon Ball Universe(01), Earth, West City - Age 796

  I'm quickly running while carrying Mom on my back as we tio run across the city ued while He still rampages around the world.

  I finally reach my destination and carefully put down Mom before I start to quickly catch my breath while she asks in a worried torunks, are you okay?"

  Taking a deep breath, filling my lungs with as much air as possible, I calm my wildly beati and reply, "Yes, Mom. Don't worry, it is just that moving around so freically while keeping my Ki to uable levels is quite straining... But this is nothing, I've been through worse. Let's move."

  After saying that, I lead Mom into the building that is the rendezvous point with Mai and sooop in front of a door, then, I use the agreed signal, I knock two times, wait a few seds, and knoother two times waiting for a response, but I hear no movement and starts to grow very worried, but then I hear a familiar voice that calls out, "Trunks?"

  My head snaps in the dire of the void seeing the woman's figure I respond with clear relief in my voice, "Mai."

  Mai is a beautiful young-looking and tall woman with fair skin, she has big bck eyes and long bck hair with bangs.

  She wears a long, blue jacket along with yellow pants, bck boots, and a green hat.

  (Image Here - Future Mai)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]She is the leader of the Resistance against Him and one of my closest friends, and hopefully even something more after all this is over.

  Mai smiles bad says, "Wele back." before we look each other in the eyes and simply fall into a peaceful silehat gets immediately broken by Mom who says, "While it is hat you two are showing affe for each other so openly, this isn't the time yet to make me a Grandma. I'd like to bee one in a time of peace." which makes Mai excim in shod embarrassment, "Bulma-san!"

  At this point, I feel myself blushing and notice that the same is happening to Mai, but thes out a cough and tries to ge the subject by saying, "I'm gd to see that you're safe, Bulma-san. I was very worried when I heard all those explosions."

  In response, Mom smiles gently and says, "I'm gd that you are safe too, Mai. Trunks and I were very lucky as shortly after we left my temporary b, He started attag the area whided up with the explosion of my b."

  Mom taps the tank in her and with a smile she says, "But that isn't all that important as we have everything we need now."

  At this point, I look at the tank of fuel for the Time Mae and ent, "Mom risked her life to extract this energy. With this, we go... To the past!"

  After saying that, we ehe abandoned apartment we used as refuge these few days, sit on the couch, and then, Mom and I start to drink some water.

  Shortly after that, Mai puts away her rifle and asks, "Do you want to rest for a while?" but I shake my head, smile, and say, "I'm okay." followed by Mom who adds, "Me too. I didn't do much as Trunks carried me all the way here."

  Hearing that, Mai picks up her duffle bag, opens it, and grabs something from it while saying, "Hey, I found something good." before she gives me a of ed meat and ents, "Isn't that awesome? It's not dog food."

  I open the and at the same time, the stray bck cat that kept us pany these few days makes his appearand walks up to us before he cutely calls out, "Miaoo~" something that brings a smile to my face.

  Mai calmly picks up the small cat and says, "Don't worry. There's some for you, too." before she offers me a fork and says, "You should eat."

  I look at Mom to sigo take it, but she simply pulls out a capsule, clicks the top, and casually tosses it nearby, and as soon as it nds on the floor it explodes with the usual cloud of smoke that quickly fades away revealing a huge refrigerator.

  After that, Mom gets up and walks up to the refrigerator, opens it, and pulls out all kinds of food much to our shock before she turns around, notices our expression, and says, "e on, guys. My best friend was a Saiyan glutton, my husband was a Saiyan glutton, and my own child is a Half-Saiyan glutton. I had to deal with Saiyan-like appetite since I was a teenage girl... I've learo sto food whenever possible."

  Shortly after Mom says that we all quickly help her prepare, and then we all take a moment to eat, rest, and recover our strength.

  After the meal, I carefully grab the tank of fuel, and a ai asks, "So, how much we travel with this?" which makes me reply in a somber tone, "One way."

  Hearing that, Mai excims and asks, "One-way!? Aren't we ing back!?" to which I reply, "Right now, it's important for us to survive. Also, Mom said that there must be a way for us to e back." which makes Mai ask, "How?"

  At this point, both Mai and I look at Mom who smiles and says, "It's pretty simple. Wheurn to the past, I will work together with my past self to create more fuel for the Time Mae, and even if somethio happen to me on our way back, I leave my notebook with all the knowledge o do so iime Mae. I fully trust that my past self will be able to uand what o be done."

  Hearing that we nod, but I feel a gut-wreng pain thinking about the possibility of Mom dying ae that, she is already fully prepared for su eventuality.

  Then Main says, "So all we o do is head to West City, 17 years back." which makes me say, "Yeah." before I stand up and look outside the window and while everything I experienced back then es to my mind, I ent, "The world I went to, a long time ago. That's where my friends are!"

  After saying that, we quickly ed up everything and gathered our things before we left the building and made our way to Capsule Corporation, wary about our surroundings.

  I suddenly stop when we are very close to Capsule Corporation, and look up at the sky searg for any sign of danger while also using my Ki Seo search for His Ki, and at the same time, I hear the wary voiai as she asks, " you sense Bck's Ki?" to which I reply, "No... Let's go."

  With my signal, we all rush toward the Capsule Corporation's building but as soon as we reae of the entrances, I stop as I suddenly sense His Ki quickly approag our location.

  Shuddering a little, I look up at the sky and see a vortex f, and without wasting any time, I yell, "Go ahead of me! I'll buy some time!" before I draw my sword.

  Then the vortex starts to desd toward the ground and within I immediately notice His figure, thus without wasting any time, I start to rush toward him ready for the battle.

  The shadowy figure within the vortex points his finger in my dire and fires a Ki Bst which I dodge with a jump while preparing to swing my sword.

  With a roar, I trate my Ki on the bde before I swing my sword to unch a crest-shaped beam at my oppo, but he dodges and while flying still within the clouds hiding His figure, he unches a volley of Ki Bsts which I quickly deflect by quickly swinging my sword but even so, those Ki Bst explode just a few meters away from me blog my sigh with their bzing fire.

  Immediately after, I notice His shadht behind those fmes ahat He is about to attack me with a Ki-Charged punch.

  I hastily raise my sword to use as a defense, but on impact, the Ki on his fist explodes with such force that blows my sword out of my hand and sends me crashing onto the ground while raising a thick cloud of smoke that tio cover His figure as he slowly flies bacreasing the distaween us.

  At this point, I hear Mai's voice calling my name in worry and see her as she runs toward me making me excim, "Stay back! You're supposed to leave!" but she quickly shouts back, "What are you saying!? I'll be the decoy! The one who o survive, is you!"

  After saying that, she doesn't hesitate and rushes toward him armed only with her rifle shooting a couple of times, but he easily dodges before he casually terattacks with a Ki Bst which explodes with such force that Mai is sent flying and crashing against a nearby building before she falls and crashes on the ground unmoving.

  Odyin
