Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ TIme Waits For No Man ❯ Chapter 3

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Mr. Popo: Why hello Goku! Piccolo! Nice to see you! And who is this pretty young lady?

Goku: His name is Trunks.

Kami: Ah yes I heard that Ilia made another screw up

Ilia's voice: I heard that!

Ilia appeared next to Trunks. She was pouting with her arms folded across her chest.

Ilia: You make one little mistake and you become everyone's personal joke well. nahhh

She stuck out her tongue to Kami

Mr. Popo: I'm sorry about that Mr. Trunks.

Trunks: It's ok.

Kami: So you came to see if I could locate the girl? Well I can't. I don't think she wants to be found.

Trunks: What?! Well what does that mean? That because she's playing hide and seek I have to stay in her body! What kind of justice is that! I say just let her die then. If she doesn't want to save the world, so what? I do! I have too much I need to accomplish. I can't stay locked in this body forever

Ilia: She can't die, you know that!

Piccolo: Why not?

Ilia: I can't say.

Piccolo: Well then I guess we'll have to ask Trunks.

Ilia: He can't say either.

Goku: Why the big secret? I want to know!

Ilia: I'm really sorry. I didn't even want you to know who he was or anything of what had happened.

Kami: Too embarrassed huh?

Ilia: Shut up Kami or King Yima will find out whose robe that was in his soup and how it got there!

Kami flushed furiously

Goku: Kami?

Kami: As you were saying Ilia.

Ilia: But we really are at a lost as to where Sienna could be. Actually Goku we were hoping there would be a way that you could sense her and take us to where she was.

Goku: Hmmm? Maybe, I'll give it a try. I only have one question? Does she have a high energy level? I mean that would just make it easier.

Trunks: No she a normal human.

Goku: Darn. Ok here goes nothing..

They stood anxiously watching Goku. They watched and watched and watched....

*** A Half an Hour Later ***

Piccolo: Goku!

Goku: HUH!

Piccolo: Can you sense anything?

Goku: huh?

Piccolo: The girl?

Goku: Oops sorry. I guess I fell asleep, heh

Trunks (Thinking): Mother, are you sure he can beat the androids? His elevator doesn't seem to go to the top floor.

Piccolo: How can you just fall asleep!

Goku: It's been a long day and I'm hungry!

Piccolo: You're always hungry and that's no excuse! What are you going to do in two years Goku? Nap while we take on the androids?

Goku: Of course not! I want to fight them! I can't wait either!

Trunks: This is depressing. I came here to save another time, another world. I came to give another timeline, something the people in my world didn't get, life without fear of those androids coming to kill them for fun. They are cold merciless killers. I need to return to my time to protect the survivors. That's all we have left, survivors. But now I'm stuck here. I don't know how my mom is doing. I hope the androids haven't found her. If they hurt her...

???: Forgive me.

Piccolo: Who's there?

???: I'm so sor....ry

The voice faded away

Goku: That was her, but I can't sense her now.

Trunks: Hey Wait Sienna! Come Back! Please. Darn!

Ilia: At least we know she is still around. I wonder why she decided to show up now?

Trunks: I don't care why! Who needs her?

Ilia: The world does. I know it's hard for you to accept but-

Trunks: Hard to except! Do you know what it's like in my time! Have you seen the terror on a child face when they know they have just come face to face with death. Have you? Is your mother stuck there? Are you stuck here powerless to keep her safe while people are telling you that some girl who doesn't care to live is more important than you are?

Ilia: Well no but if she dies you know the very thing you came to accomplish wont be available in the rest of the timelines. The same thing that's happening in your timeline will happen over and over again, only worst.

Trunks: I guess you're righ. Sorry.

Goku: She's that important huh? Ok I guess we could ask King Kai.

Kami: Sorry I couldn't help you, Trunks.

Trunks: It's ok sir. Thank you for trying.

Kami: My my, you're nothing like Vegeta. Maybe one good thing did come out of the An- sorry...

Trunks: Is my Father that bad?

Goku: Vegeta is a good guy....

Piccolo: You call that good?

Goku: Bulma sees some good in him, so he can't be all that bad King Kai? Can you hear me King Kai?

King Kai: Yes Goku! How have you been?

Goku: I'm doing great! But we need your help King Kai.

Trunks: What? Who is that? Am I going crazy?

Goku: No. He lives in otherworld. You can't go there unless you're dead.

Trunks: Dead? You're talking to a dead guy?!

Goku: Nope he's alive.

Trunks: Huh?

Goku: (to King Kai) This guy here needs to find a girl who is supposed to be in this body. Ilia goofed up again. Can you help?

King Kai: Yes I heard all about it. I didn't know she was still the time doorkeeper.

Ilia: Not you too King Kai! It was an accident!

King Kai: Yea and now that boy is getting a crash course in womanhood.. eheh eheh hehehe!

Trunks: Ugh...

Piccolo: Can you ever be serious!?

King Kai: Hmph! Same old Piccol. Okay! Okay! I've already been asked to find her. I can't! Sorry!

Trunks: Will you guys excuse me?

Ilia: (sigh) Sure Trunks.Look I'm really sorry.

Trunks walked around the side of Kami's lookout and sat down on a bench.

???: Trunks?

Trunks: Who is there?

Sienna: I am Sienna.

Trunks: Don't leave again please!

Sienna: I won't?

Trunks: Where have you been? We need to go see the others so we can get you back in your body and me in mine.

Sienna: No!

Trunks: No? What do you mean no? I must have misunderstood you.

Sienna: You didn't.

Trunks: Why not? I need my body back. Your father has created -

Sienna: I know what my father is doing!

Trunks: Then why don't you let me go back to my body?

Sienna: I'm not stopping you. You can go anytime you want to.

Trunks: Do you mean you want to die?

Sienna: Sure why not? There is no reason for me to live.

Trunks: What? You need to create the antidote for the heart virus you made!

Sienna: So you know about that huh?

Trunks: Trying to keep it a secret? Well too bad.

Ilia: Who are you talking to?

Trunks: Sienna.

Ilia: I didn't hear anyone else, only you.

Trunks: What? Huh? This is crazy! She is standing right here!

Ilia: Are you ok, Trunks?

A pain shot through Trunks chest.

Ilia: Trunks: Are you ok? Trunks? Trunks? You guys, something's wrong with Trunks! Trunks are you hungry? What's going on?

Trunks: Sorry. It's just that I got this pain in my chest.

Sienna: See there is no need for you to stay in my body. I'm dying. I killed my mother and I'm dying too. It doesn't matter if you leave my body now. I have nothing and no one to live for...the man I love is dying too.

Trunks: You killed your mom?

Ilia: Who are you talking to?

Sienna: They can't see or hear me.

Trunks: Why not?

Ilia: huh?

Goku: Are you ok?

Sienna: I don't want them to.

Trunks: You can do that?

Ilia: I think he might be delirious

Trunks: I'm ok.

Sienna: yes I can. I've been doing it since that freak accident. At first, it wasn't my doing. I couldn't make myself known, if I had been able to I would have told you not to go back to my house. Look Trunks I know you hate me and I know your friend thinks I'm important but I have no idea how to reverse the heart virus its hopeless and my time is almost up you should just let me die, ok?

Ilia: Trunks! TRUNKS!!!!

Trunks: Yes?

Ilia I don't think you are fine. I've been calling you!

Trunks: sorry my mind was elsewhere.

Ilia: Who where you talking to?

Trunks: Ilia. Do you know when Sienna dies?

Ilia: Yea. Why?

Trunks: Does she die anytime soon?

Ilia: Well...Trunks I can't say. That information is restricted.

Goku: Restricted? But shouldn't he be allowed to know since he is stuck in her body?

Ilia: If it weren't for him interfering, you wouldn't have known your time of death. No one is supposed to know when his or her time is up.

Goku: But isn't this case special? I mean if she died before Trunks can get back into his body won't he die too?

Ilia: Well...

Trunks: This is absurd! Sienna has the heart virus doesn't she!

Ilia: Well...

Trunks: Answer me!

Ilia: May I speak to Trunks alone.

Goku: Uh sure!

Ilia: Yes Trunks she has the heart virus that's why I need to find her and fast only she can find the cure to it.

Trunks: Are you so sure? Didn't you say this was supposed to have happened? Well Sienna refuses to take her rightful place in her body so it seems I'm stuck. Goku has the antidote at his house and my mother is a genius maybe the both of us can figure out what is in the serum and remake it ourselves.

Ilia: I don't know.

Trunks: I'm tired of you not knowing anything! You are the one who got me in this position! If you can't get me out then I will by myself. I don't want or need any help from you got it!

Ilia: But Trunks-

Trunks: Go away!

Ilia: But-

Trunks walked passed Ilia toward Goku. He told Goku his idea and they Instant Tranmissioned to Goku's house.

Kami: It's out of your hands now I think.

Ilia: I know. I just hope he knows what he is doing. If not there will be many lives lost along with the hope of a better future.

Mr. Popo: Cant you go talk with him and ask him about the girl he was talking to?

Ilia: What girl?

Mr. Popo: The one who he was talking to. I couldn't see her but I heard her. She said she was the girl whose body he is in.

Ilia: He was talking to her? Are you sure?

Mr. Popo: Yes. She told him it didn't matter if he left her body she was going to die soon and didn't want to live anyway. It seems to me that she really has no intention of returning to her body. So in actuality it is really up to Trunks now.

Ilia: Oh no.

Kami: What?

Ilia: I didn't know. She has so much to do and so little time. We really need her to join with her body. Trunks can't do this alone! I wish he wouldn't have tied my hands! He needs me now more than ever. He is far graver danger than just the heart virus. He can't defend himself in that body. Dr. Gero wants to use Sienna.

Kami: What do you mean?

Ilia: I can't say Kami! Oh no Trunks.

Kami: Well I know he told you not to help him, but maybe you can without him knowing it?

Ilia: That's against the rules Kami.

Kami: I won't tell if you don't tell...
