After a fairly large supper in the Briefs' kitchen, Trunks picked up his dishes and carried them to the sink.

"You sure ate fast, Trunks," Ami said.

"I want to get back to training, but only for an hour or two," Trunks said. "Then I'm going to bed. I'm awfully tired.

"See you later, Trunks," Bulma said sweetly. "So, Ami, what did you and Trunks do today besides fighting?"

"Well, we-" Ami began before the sound of a large clap of thunder interrupted her.

"Oh my, it's storming," Bulma said. "It usually doesn't storm very much around here anymore, but we do have a rainy season. Well, kind of rainy, anyway."

"I see," Ami replied. "Anyway, Trunks and I trained, and I learned how to use my magic attacks like Trunks uses ki blasts."

"Really?" Bulma asked in a fascinated-sounding tone.

"Well, I can only form ki balls for now, but Trunks said I'll be able to use blasts soon," Ami said.

"It sounds like you and Trunks are getting along very well," Bulma stated. "Have you?"

"We have," Ami said, nodding her head. "In fact, today, we..."

Ami stopped. Her cheeks began to turn red.

"What is it, dear?" Bulma asked. "What did you and Trunks do?"

"I... kinda kissed him," Ami said, slightly embarrassed. "We only kissed for one second, but-"

"You kissed him?" Bulma asked. "On the lips?"

"Yes," Ami said softly.

Bulma giggled.

"I remember the first time I kissed Vegeta," Bulma said. "Although when we kissed, he didn't look like he enjoyed it too much... "

"I really don't know what come over me... over us," Ami said. "It was kind of a tender moment. Trunks was telling me about Gohan, and it looked like he was about to cry, and then he told me that I was his friend, and..."

Ami smiled.

"It was nothing, really!" Ami said, giggling slightly. "I'm going to go get changed."

Ami picked up her dishes and put them in the sink. Bulma smiled at her as she exited the kitchen.

"I knew that something would happen between those two," Bulma said to herself. "Hmm... I wonder what Vegeta would have thought of Ami? Oh, Vegeta...."

Bulma shook her head.

"What am I thinking?" Bulma said to herself. "I'd better just wash the dishes..."

Dr. Sikaki rapidly punched the keys on his huge computer. Images rapidly flashed on the giant screen.

"Have you found anything?" Crysthea asked him.

"Patience, my queen," Sikaki said.

"Patience? I don't have time for that!" Crysthea shouted impatiently. "I wanna kill Trunks and Sailor Mercury now!"

Dr. Sikaki stopped typing. A picture of Trunks' desolate postapocalyptic world appeared on the screen.

"There it is, my queen," Sikaki said. "The answer."

"That's just where stupid Trunks lives," Crysthea said. "That's not the answer!"

"Dimension Zenkai, Subreality Pirihol," Sikaki continued. "The dimension Trunks and Sailor Mercury are in."

"Wait, Dimension wha?" Crysthea stammered in a puzzled tone. "I'm confused."

"We give them names, you see," Sikaki said. "So that we can tell them apart. Now..."

Sikaki pressed a button, switching the view to a lush, green landscape at the top of a cliff. A large, bustling city lay below.

"Dimension Zenkai, Subreality Cerasi," Sikaki said. "This is the same world, but in a different reality. A reality before the androids came and ravaged the Earth in this dimension."

" Yeah, yeah, yeah, so what?" Crysthea asked. "What's all this dimension crap mean?"

"Apparently, the Trunks that you have been fighting in Subreality Pirihol came to Subreality Cerasi, 20 years earlier, using a time machine. He warned the warriors that lived back then about the coming of the androids, and working with them, helped to avert the apocalypse. Then, he returned back to his own dimension. Exactly 36 days after his return time, Sailor Mercury arrived in Dimension Zenkai, Subreality Cerasi. That's the dimension you sent her to."

"Hey, what's the name of the dimension that the other Senshi are in? I just want to know," Crysthea said curiously.

"Dimension Seramu, Subreality Avari," Sakaki said. "My queen, have you been listening?"

"Yes, of course I have!" Crysthea yelled indignantly. "I'll listen better when you find me a way to defeat Trunks!"

"I think I have one," Sakaki said. "But I need to check a few things."

Dr. Sakaki began typing again.

"Hurry up," Crysthea said. "I don't have all day!"

---

Trunks stepped out of the basement and into the living room. He yawned tiredly.

"Well, that was a good hour and a half of training," Trunks yawned to himself. "Time to go to sleep."

"Oh, hello, Trunks!" Ami said, walking downstairs to greet him. She was wearing a white nightgown and pink slippers. "I just came to get some water for bed. I'm a bit thirsty."

"I see," Trunks said. "Would you like me to get it for you?"

"No, but thank you," Ami said, stepping into the kitchen. "I can get it."

"I see," Trunks said. "Well then, I'll be on the couch if you need me. Mom's upstairs fixing the wall in my bedroom."

"Did you offer to help her?" Ami asked, coming back from the kitchen with a tall glass of water.

"I did, but she said that I needed rest," Trunks said. "That's my mom, always so helpful to everyone..."

"I'm sure you're helpful too, Trunks. You helped me today," Ami said. "Well, goodnight."

"You too, Ami," Trunks said. "See you tomorr-"

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"I wonder who that could be...." Ami said to herself. "At night?"

"I'll get it," Trunks said. "Ami, stay back."

Trunks walked over to the front door and opened it. Standing in the doorway were Rosemary, Angelica, and Chamomile, soaked from the rain. Trunks' face turned red with anger.

"They're still alive?" Ami thought. "They're quite the resilient ones..."

"Oh no," Trunks said in an angry tone. "No, no, no."

Trunks pointed his arm at the three sorceresses.

"You're gonna die!" Trunks shouted.

"No, no, wait!" Rosemary pleaded.

"We want to help you!" Angelica said. "We swear!"

"Please, please, hear us out!" Chamomile shouted.

"Trunks, stop!" Ami said, walking over to the door and standing next to Trunks. "What did you say?"

"We want to help," Chamomile said.

"You girls are just trying to trick us," Trunks said. "How do I know Crysthea-"

"Crysthea disowned us!" Angelica yelled.

"She said we were useless, and she won't let us go back home," Rosemary said sadly. "She called us trash..."

"We want to help you fight her," Angelica said. "Please, please help us!"

"You girls are lying," Trunks said. "You're going to warm up to us, then kill us in our sleep. No way."

"Trunks, please, I think they're telling the truth," Ami said. "They wouldn't come right to our door if they wanted to kill us. They'd barge in, or they'd sneak in, or-"

"What do you call pretending to be good and then killing us when our guard is down?" Trunks asked. "That's pretty sneaky, isn't it?"

"Please," Rosemary said. "For everything we've ever done..."

"For all the people we've hurt," Angelica said.

"We're sorry," Chamomile said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Please, please give us a chance to help..."

A tear fell down the side of Chamomile's face.

"Alright," Trunks said. "You three can come in out of the rain. But if you try anything... if I even THINK you're trying anything..."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Trunks!" Chamomile said. She ran past Trunks and Sailor Mercury, into the house. Her two older sisters followed her. Ami giggled.

"Ami?" Trunks said, looking at her with a slightly surprised look on his face.

"They're kind of sweet!" Ami said. "But we will have to watch our backs."

Trunks nodded in agreement.

---

"Have you found anything YET?" Crysthea shrieked. "C'mon! C'mon c'mon c'mon!"

Dr. Sikaki stopped typing. The screen turned completely black.

"I think I have the solution for our Trunks dilemma," Dr. Sikaki said, pressing a button on the giant computer's keyboard. Five images appeared on the screen. One of them depicted an angry-looking Super Saiyan Trunks. The second image depicted a robotic-looking creature being sliced in half by Super Saiyan Trunks. The third image depicted a large, white and purple horned creature, slammed up against a large rock and bleeding heavily. The fourth image depicted a tall, white, purple, and green creature with large, green and black wing-like appendages on its back. The fifth image depicted five golden balls with red stars on them.

"What the heck?" Crysthea said, looking at the screen. "It's just a bunch of pictures of Trunks and some ugly-looking things. And what are those balls?"

"The first image is Trunks, in his Super Saiyan form. The second image is Trunks, slicing up an evil alien creature known as Frieza. The third is of Frieza's father King Cold, after fighting Super Saiyan Trunks. The fourth image is of a powerful android known as Cell."

"Yeah, so what?" Crysthea said.

"Let me finish," Sikaki said. "Now, Frieza, King Cold, and Cell are all enemies Trunks has fought in the past. Quite literally, the past. When he went back in time, to Subreality Cerasi, Trunks killed Frieza and King Cold immediately on arrival. However, Cell, who came three years later, was able to defeat everyone at that time, including Trunks. Anyway, I want to bring either Frieza or Cell here. They could help you destroy Trunks and Sailor Mercury."

"Which one should I bring?" Crysthea asked.

"Frieza is a Changling, a member of an extremely powerful and extremely rare race of beings that could transform to new and more powerful forms, increasing their energy potential greatly," Sikaki said. "Trunks defeated his most powerful form, but, during his time in the underworld, could have developed new transformations. His father was killed by Trunks, so he'll have a motive for revenge. Cell is far more powerful than Frieza, but he will have no real reason to go after Trunks, and may not follow your instructions, choosing to go after the one who killed him instead."

"Who killed him?" Crysthea asked.

"A small boy from Subreality Cerasi named Gohan," Sikaki said. "Long story. Anyway, I suggest using Frieza for this mission, because Frieza holds a deep resentment for Trunks and would do anything to get a rematch with him."

"Alright, then," Crysthea said. "But Frieza is dead, isn't he?"

"That's what the Dragonballs are for," Sikaki said, pointing to the last picture. "The Dragonballs can be used for many different things. They grant wishes, you see. However, the set of Dragonballs from Earth cannot be used to revive Frieza, since he has been dead for more than a year. So, you will need to find the Black Star Dragonballs, scattered throughout the universe in the Zenkai dimension. They can grant any one wish."

"Then why can't I wish for Trunks to be defeated?" Crysthea asked.

"Their power can only be used in the dimension that the wish is made, and they can't be taken out of the dimension they're in. So, you would have to bring Frieza back from Subreality Cerasi," Sikaki said. "I have already tracked down the locations of all seven Black Star Dragonballs. All you have to do is retrieve them, and then make the wish to revive Frieza."

"Can't I wish to be immortal, or all-powerful?" Crysthea asked.

"If you wished to be immortal, you wouldn't get much stronger. Trunks would still be able to defeat you. Then, he could probably lock you up somewhere for all eternity," Sikaki said. "And being all-powerful is one wish that the Black Star Dragonballs can't grant. They can't make you much more powerful than you are now."

"How the heck does that computer of yours know so much, anyway?" Crysthea asked. "I've never seen you use it to look into other dimensions before."

"It's the same principle that you use for your Dimensional Gate magic," Sikaki said. "I use a few of your crystals to pierce tiny holes into the fabric between this dimension and others, and then the crystals collect data on-"

"Yeah, yeah, booooooooring," Crysthea said. A Dimensional Gate appeared behind her. "I'll be right back!"

Crysthea disappeared through the gate.

---

"So, girls, who exactly is Crysthea, anyway?" Ami asked. "I mean, what are her motives?"

"Well," Rosemary said, "you see... Queen Crysthea is the last survivor of a race of sorceresses known as the Crystal Seekers. She collects crystals from the life essences of every living thing on a planet, and then keeps them for herself to increase her power."

"Rosemary, Cammy-chan, and I aren't Crystal Seekers," Angelica said. "You see, we were residents of one of the planets that Crysthea conquered. Her minions kidnapped us from our home and took us to her palace to be trained."

"She knew about all our powers!" Chamomile said. "Well, our potential, anyway. Then she helped us to bring out our true potential. I guess working for Crysthea was fun, but..."

"When you three became useless to her, she dumped you out like used tissue paper," Trunks said. "That's what evil witches like her do."

"We'll help you fight her," Rosemary said. "She betrayed us, and now we have to stop her!"

"What will you do after you stop her?" Trunks asked.

"Well... maybe live here?" Angelica asked. "No, we can't live here... this place... it's so..."

Trunks sighed.

"I'll help you three find a better place to live," Trunks said. "If you help us defeat Crysthea."

"You can go back with me!" Ami said. "You three would make good Sailor Senshi!"

"Really?" Chamomile said. "We don't really know anything about you..."

"Don't get ahead of yourselves, girls. We'll still be watching you until Crysthea is defeated. If you try anything-" Trunks began.

"Trunks!" Ami said. She turned back to the three girls. "Thank you for deciding to help us. I'm curious as to how you survived our battle..."

"Oh, that?" Rosemary asked. "Magic!"

"We'll never tell!" Angelica said happily.

"We're strong!" Chamomile said. "Thanks for giving us a chance!"

"Well, it's time for bed now," Trunks said. "You three can sleep in my room, I guess... if you don't mind the big hole in the wall."

"Yay!" the three girls cheered.

Meanwhile, on a large asteroid deep out in space, Crysthea stood next to the seven Black Star Dragonballs.

"With Dr. Sikaki's instructions, finding these was a snap!" Crysthea said. "Now... to make my wish! Let's see, what did Sikaki say that I should yell to get this... dragon thing, to come out... hmmm... oh yeah! Black Star Dragon, come forth!"

The Dragonballs began to glow with a bright light. A huge beam of light burst forth from the balls and rose up into the air, forming into the shape of the Black Star Dragon. Crysthea gasped in amazement.

"This is awesome..." Crysthea said.

In the Zenkai dimension... well, under the Zenkai dimension, was a very, very mysterious and very terrible place. Well, sort of terrible, anyway. It was the DBZ version of Hell, where all bad people in the Zenkai dimension went when they died. What was going on down there, however, wasn't fire, or torture. It was a friendly... well, semi-friendly game of Go Fish between four of Hell's denizens. Two of them, Frieza and Android 20, had halos above their heads. The other two, Goz and Mez, didn't. Goz and Mez were the two ogre brothers who oversaw Hell, making sure none of its residents tried to escape.

"Got any threes?" asked Goz, a large, red bespectacled ogre.

"Go fish," Frieza, a slender, white and purple, lizard-like alien said, slamming his tail against the ground. "Looks like I'm winning."

"Oh, shut up," Android 20, an old-looking android with a white mustache said, holding four cards in his hand. "It looks like you're cheating."

"WHAT?" Frieza yelled, standing up angrily. "How dare you accuse me of cheating, you robotic monkey!"

"Oh, sit down, Frieza," said Mez, a blue ogre. "It's your turn."

"Excellent," Frieza said evilly. "Mez, do you have any eights?"

"Damn," Mez said, handing one of his cards to Frieza. "You're just about to go out, aren't you?"

"Of course," Frieza said slyly, setting down two cards. He only had one card left. "Your turn, robotic monkey."

"Shut up," Android 20 said again. "Got any-"

Just then, Android 20 gasped. He pointed to Frieza's head.

"Your... your... halo..." Android 20 said, in shock. "It just... disappeared!"

Goz and Mez looked just above Frieza's head.

"Well, what do you know," Goz said. "Looks like somebody wished you back, Frieza."

"Holy crap, who would wish you back?" Mez yelled. "And how? You've been here more than three years! They must have used the Black Star Dragonballs!"

Suddenly, a large, purple gate appeared behind Frieza. He turned around and faced it.

"What the heck?" Frieza shouted. "Who created this gate? Did you also wish me back?"

"Yes!" yelled Crysthea's voice through the gate. "I am Queen Crysthea! I used the Black Star Dragonballs to revive you! Anyway, I heard about you and your father being killed by Trunks!"

The mention of Trunks made Frieza growl with rage.

"What is it? Do you know that Saiyan monkey?" Frieza shouted.

"I'm having trouble with Trunks, too!" Crysthea yelled. "I wish to form an alliance with you, oh mighty Frieza!"

"An alliance?" Frieza said. "To destroy the Saiyan monkey?"

"That's right!" Crysthea said. "Just step right into this gate!"

"What if I said I didn't want revenge against Trunks? I'm alive, now! I can do anything I want!" Frieza shouted. "But... revenge against that monkey is extremely tempting. Alright, Crysthea, I accept your offer!"

"Excellent," Crysthea said. "Mwahahahaha!"

Frieza stepped into the gate. It snapped shut behind him.

"That blows," Recoome said, walking up to Goz, Mez, and Android 20. "I could beat that Trunk guy, or whoever he is!"

"Shut up and play Go Fish," Android 20 said.

"Go Fish sucks. I want to play euchre," Recoome said.

---

The next morning...

Frieza appeared in the middle of a huge, desolate wasteland in Trunks' dimension. He looked around.

"Where am I?" Frieza shouted. "Hello? Hello? Who brought me here? SHOW YOURSELF!"

An insane giggling sounded behind Frieza. He turned around to see Crysthea, standing behind him.

"Like it? It's Trunks' home," Crysthea said. "Actually, I hate it. A lot. Almost as much as I hate Trunks!"

"Where is he?" Frieza yelled. "Where is that monkey? Take me to him!"

"Wait a second, didn't you get beat by Trunks before?" Crysthea asked. "Haven't you been working on a new transformation or-"

"How dare you question me!" Frieza shouted. "I have been working on a new transformation, but I haven't used it yet. I've been saving it for-"

"Show me! Show me! Show meeeee!" Crysthea shrieked, something up and down.

"Silence!" Frieza yelled. Crysthea stopped jumping.

"Meanie..." Crysthea pouted.

"If it will help bring Trunks here, then I shall reveal it," Frieza said. He began to glow with a deep, red and black light. Soon, the light engulfed his entire body. Crysthea floated up into the air to watch the transformation.

"This is good..." Crysthea said.

Frieza continued to glow. Suddenly, he screamed. A huge pillar of black light shot up from the spot where he was standing. The light lifted into the air and showered the landscape with sparks, creating small explosions all around. Crysthea floated around, dodging the beams of black light as they fell. Finally, the black light disappeared as soon as it had came.

"There," Frieza said haughtily. "This is it."

Crysthea looked down to see Frieza, standing in the middle of a large crater. Her eyes lit up.

"Awesome," Crysthea said.

Frieza was slightly taller than before, by about a foot. His head, once round and white with a purple spot on the top, was still rounded on the sides and the bottom, but the top of Frieza's head was rectangular and dark red, with two large, flat-looking black spikes sticking out of the top. His slender white frame was slightly more muscular, with a purple, plate-like spot over his chest and stomach. His arms were basically the same as before, long and white, except for the tips of Frieza's fingers, which were dark red. Frieza's fingernails were black. His legs were completely unchanged, long and white with two white feet with three large, claw-like toes. Frieza's most remarkable new feature was his tail. It was nearly two feet longer than it has been before, and the tip of his tail was completely black, with a very sharp solid-red tip. Crysthea could feel the immense power coming from the newly transformed Frieza as he stood in the center of the crater.

"That's unbelievable," Crysthea said. "How did you come up with that?"

"I've been secretly training in Hell for two years, perfecting this new transformation, waiting for the day when I would finally have my revenge on that Saiyan monkey, Trunks! And now, I shall have it!" Frieza shouted. He began to cackle evilly.

---

Trunks, Ami, Rosemary, Angelica, and Chamomile stood at the front door of Chris' house. Trunks knocked on the door.

"Why are we here?" Rosemary asked.

"You're going to apologize to my friend and his mom," Trunks said.

"Okay," Angelica said. "I remember him! That's the guy we tried to get information out of!"

"Duh," Chamomile said. "I hope he's not still mad... we were just trying to have some fun!"

"It wasn't fun for him," Trunks said. The door opened. Chris stood in the doorway.

"Aaah!" Chris shouted, pointing at the three sorceresses. "It's them! Aaah!"

Chris began to slam the door shut. Ami put her hand in front of it, stopping him.

"No, Chris, wait!" Ami said. "They're not bad anymore!"

"Really?" Chris said. "Why are they here?"

"We, um... we come to..." Rosemary stammered. "We came to..."

"We're really, really, really sorry for hurting you!" Chamomile said.

"And your mom," Angelica said.

"And if you can find it in your heart to forgive us," Angelica said, "then..."

Chris began to speak, but his mom stepped in front of him, interrupting him.

"Oh my goodness," Chris' mom said. "You're the three girls who-"

"It's okay," Trunks said. "They've seen the error of their ways. At least I hope they have."

"I see," Chris' mom said. "Well, I guess you can come in if you want..."

---

"So, like we said before, we're sorry," Rosemary said, sitting next to Angelica on the couch in Chris' living room. Trunks, Ami, and Chris' mom were sitting at the kitchen table, while Chris was standing next to the couch where Rosemary and Angelica were.

"I guess I forgive you," Chris said. "You didn't really hurt anyone, like Serris did..."

"Serris was a jerk," Rosemary said. "He wanted to destroy everyone in his way. We just wanted to have fun and do our job.... well, I guess we've killed a few people, but none of them lived in this dimension..."

"It was an accident!" Angelica shouted. "I thought those guys were trying to grab my butt!"

"Your little sister's cute!" Chamomile said, holding a small girl in her hands. "Aww, isn't she sweet?"

"Hey, put her down!" Chris yelled.

"Girl nice!" Chris' little sister said happily as Chamomile rocked the small girl back and forth in her hands.

"She thinks I'm her mommy!" Chamomile said. "Aww... that's sweet!"

"I guess," Chris said.

"Well, now that these girls are helping you, you'll be able to defeat the rest of the villains, right?" Chris' mom asked. "And we'll have nothing to fear?"

"That's right," Trunks said. "Once Crysthea returns, we'll-"

Trunks' head suddenly turned in the other direction.

"Trunks?" Ami said. "What are you-"

"Shh," Trunks said. "I'm trying to concentrate... this isn't good...."

"What's going on?" Chris said, walking up to Trunks.

"A huge power level, a couple of miles away," Trunks said.

"Like Crysthea's?" Ami asked.

"I can't sense Crysthea's power level," Trunks said. "This power level is ki-based... and it's a big one..."

Trunks took a scouter out of his pocket and put it on. He pressed a small button on the side and turned it toward the source of the ki that he felt.

"What's it say?" Ami asked.

"Over ten million," Trunks said. "The scouter only goes up to 9,999,999. It used to break when it scanned creatures that were too powerful, but the ones that mom made don't have that problem."

"What's your power level, Trunks?" Ami asked.

"It's over ten million too!" Chris said. "But only when he goes Super Saiyan."

"I don't know exactly what my power level is either," Trunks said. "Anyway, I'm going to check this energy out. Ami, you need to stay here."

"Can we come?" Rosemary asked.

"We've gotta help!" Angelica said.

"You three come with me," Trunks said. "If Crysthea has something to do with this, you can tell me what her weaknesses are. But stay away from whatever creature is causing me to sense all this power, alright?"

"Alrighty!" Chamomile said.

"I'm coming too, Trunks," Ami said. She transformed into Sailor Mercury and stood next to Trunks.

"You stay," Trunks said. "I won't let you get hurt."

"We'll protect her!" Chamomile said.

"How ironic," Trunks said. "You three tried to kill her, and now you're protecting her? She defeated you three. She could probably protect all of you. Fine, all four of you can come with me."

Trunks picked up Sailor Mercury and flew off toward the huge power level. Rosemary, Angelica, and Chamomile followed them. Chris set his little sister back in her crib and sat down at the kitchen table.

"Mom, is this really the end?" Chris asked.

"I sure hope so," Chris' mom said glumly. "I really, really hope so..."

Frieza's back! And he's badder than ever! And he's got a knack for making things not better! Face facts, because- okay, enough of the WWE song parody. Read and review! Or just read!
