Chapter 26: Other Worldly Training
“Trunks. Hey, Trunks. Yoo hoo, Trunks. Time to wake up.”
Groaning, Trunks opened his eyes. He was greeted by a familiar face, the very last one he expected to see.
“Hey, welcome back. You certainly took quite a beating.”
Trunks sat up, looking at the person in surprise. “Goku? Is that you?”
The spiky-haired saiyan nodded. “Yup, it’s me.”
Trunks jumped to his feet. “Wow, Goku, it’s great to see you again.”
Goku raised an eyebrow. “Huh? Again? We’ve never met before.”
Trunks looked confused, but then the answer came to him. “Oh, wait, you’re the Goku from my time. Sorry about that.”
Goku brightened up. “That’s right, you met me in another timeline. Hey, was I the same as I am now.”
Trunks studied the saiyan for a moment. “Yeah, exactly the same.”
Goku grinned. “Wow, that’s cool. You also got to meet baby you too. What was that like?”
Trunks sweat-dropped. “Kind of weird actually.”
He was glad to see his friend again, even though this wasn’t the same one. He thought he wouldn’t be able to see Goku again, or, in this case, meet him, until he too died…
That’s when it hit him. Goku was dead, and had been for many years. If Trunks was here with him, that could only mean one thing.
“Wait, if I’m here with you, that must mean that I’m dead!”
Goku snickered. “No, actually you’re still alive.” At Trunks’ confused look, he explained. “I used Instant Transmission to save you.”
Trunks’ eyes widened. “You saved me? Wow, thanks. But wait, if you’re dead, how did you…?”
Smiling Goku pointed behind Trunks. “I got permission from them.”
Trunks turned around to see the people standing behind him that he hadn’t noticed before. There was a short round blue-skinned man and two other equally short men with purple skin, pointy ears, and white spiky hair; one of them was incredibly old and wrinkled. The last one was a large man with white hair and an unfriendly scowl on his face. Trunks didn’t have a clue who they were.
“Ok, and who are they?” he asked.
“Well,” said Goku, “the guy with the blue skin and antennas is King Kai.”
Trunks turned back to him in amazement. “King Kai? You’re kidding! Thee King Kai?”
Goku snickered. “If you think that’s impressive, wait until I tell you who the others are. The two little guys are Supreme Kai.”
“The Supreme Kai?” Trunks exclaimed. “There’s Supreme Kai? I knew about the four King Kais and the Grand Kai, but I didn’t know there was a Supreme Kai, let alone two of them.”
Goku bent down to whisper in Trunks’ ear. “Well, to tell you the truth, the old guy is a former Supreme Kai. He’s the current Supreme Kai’s great, great, great, great… uh…” Goku looked at his fingers, trying to do the math, but gave up. “He’s the Supreme Kai’s ancestor from fifteen generations ago.”
Trunks’ eyes widened. “Fif…fif…fif…fifteen generations?” He looked at the halo floating over Goku’s head, then at the lack of one on the old kai. “But how’s he still alive?”
Old Kai cut his eyes at him. “I was trapped in a sword for a few hundred millenniums. Although that’s not why I look so old.” He glanced at the Supreme Kai’s fusion earrings. “I just had… an accident.”
Trunks’ attention shifted to the large man. “And who’s he? The Grand Kai?”
Goku shook his head. “No, that’s Kibito. He’s the Supreme Kai’s bodyguard.”
“The Supreme Kai needs a bodyguard?”
Supreme Kai cleared his throat. “I’m afraid we don’t have time for such pleasantries. Trunks, the reason you have been brought here is because the universe is in danger.”
Which suddenly reminded Trunks. “Baby!” Seeing Goku again had momentarily distracted him. He turned back to his fellow saiyan. “You have to take me back. I have to stop him.”
“You can’t.” said King Kai. “If it was just Baby you were fighting, you’d be able to beat him, no problem. But while he’s inside Rilldo, you won’t stand a chance. If Goku hadn’t saved you, you’d be dead right now.”
Trunks turned to the kai. “But I feel fine now. In fact, I feel better than ever.”
Goku smiled. “You can thank Kibito for that.” Kibito just grunted and looked away. “But you’re still no match for Baby.”
“Then can you fight him?” Trunks asked hopefully. “You’re Goku, you can beat anyone.”
Goku laughed, rubbing the back of his head shyly. “Ah, gee, I’m flattered that you feel that way. But I’m not allowed to go back, I’m dead.”
“But you came back for me.”
“Only for a split second.” Said Supreme Kai. “And not even that would normally be allowed, but the entire universe is in danger of becoming infected with Baby. During such occasions, we kais intervene. Trunks, you must defeat Baby, or else he will enslave the entire universe.”
Trunks understood this, but being here in Other World brought another concern to mind. “But even if I do destroy Baby, couldn’t he take over people in Other World.”
“That will not be a problem.” Said Old Kai. “Besides the fact that he’s definitely going to Hell, he won’t be able to infect anyone. He can lay all the mind-controlling eggs that he wants, but since the eggs will be dead, they’ll never hatch. No, once you defeat Baby, he won’t be able to infect anyone else.” He thought about it a moment. “Although, if he infects anyone before that happens, the influence will remain.”
Trunks didn’t like the sound of that. “What if he does? Will there be a way to cure them.”
“One or two ways.”
Trunks waited for more, but the Old Kai didn’t say anything else. “Yeah, and how would I do that?”
“Oh, well, aside from using the Dragon Balls, the most direct way would be to kill them.”
“WHAT?!” Trunks cried. “You’ve gotta be kidding! I can’t just kill everyone that Baby infects! They’re innocent people!”
“Oh be quiet, you’re so noisy.” Trunks blinked when he heard the voice of an old woman. He turned around and saw a short old woman floating towards them on a crystal ball. “Things aren’t as bad as they seem.”
Goku waved to the old woman. “Hey, Fortuneteller Baba, good timing.”
Trunks looked at the witch. “Wait, she’s Baba? As in Master Roshi’s brother?”
Baba looked angry. “Don’t mention that buffoon’s name around me. Honestly, with all the people the androids have killed over the years, I can’t believe he wasn’t one of them.”
Goku laughed. “Ouch, that’s really cold. You should be nicer to him; he is you’re brother.”
Baba cut her eyes at him. “As if you have the right to criticize me for not getting along with my brother.”
Goku hesitated a moment, thinking about his own brother, Raditz. “Point taken.”
“Never mind that.” Trunks cried. “What do you mean that things aren’t as bad as they seem?”
Baba settled on the ground and casually hopped off her crystal ball. “There’s another way to free people from Baby’s influence. Just use the Sacred Water at Kami’s Lookout on anyone that’s infected and they’ll be cured.”
Trunks’ face lit up. “Really? That’ll cure them. That’s great!”
King Kai nodded. “But we still have a little baby problem with a certain Tuffle parasite.” He snickered at his attempt at a joke.
Baba nodded. “Yes, and fortunately for you, I’ve discovered a way to beat him.”
Trunks’ excitement got the best of him and he grabbed the witch’s shirt. “Really? But he’s so strong. You really found a way for me to win?”
The old woman looked scared. “Y-Yes, just please let me go!”
Trunks blinked a few times and let her go. “Sorry, guess I overreacted.”
Baba dusted herself off. “That’s for sure.” She cleared her throat. “Anyway, when you were fighting Luud, I figured that sooner or later you would run into his creator, so, with the help of my crystal ball, I did some research and discovered Baby.”
“And, naturally, she told me.” said King Kai. “So I told Grand Kai, and he told Kibito, and he told Supreme Kai.”
Trunks raised an eyebrow. “Ok, so how does that help me?”
“Well,” said Supreme Kai, “being the grand ruler of the universe, I was naturally aware of how you went back in time and altering things. And that’s when I started thinking, if Baby appeared in this timeline, perhaps he would appear in that one as well.”
Baba took over. “So I used my crystal ball to look into that timeline.”
Trunks looked surprised. “Wow, I didn’t know you could do that?”
The witch smiled. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t either.” She laughed at that. “I think that’s due to that fact that there was only one direction time was going in until you changed things. Now it seems that there are three.”
“Three?” Trunks looked confused. “How are there three?”
“Let me explain it to you. When you went back in time, you created a rift that created alternate realities. Lets call the one that we’re in timeline A and the one you went back to timeline B. The two timelines were on the same path until you went back to B and changed things. Yet that change caused a disturbance further in the future, creating timeline C. In that timeline, you managed to destroy the androids, and then were about to go back in time to tell your friends the good news when Cell came and killed the you of that timeline and took the time machine to timeline B.”
If Trunks wasn’t as smart as he was, he probably would have been given a headache. Goku, on the other hand, was not so lucky. “So, wait, are the other letters of the alphabet included in these timelines?”
“No!” Baba snapped impatiently. “Using A, B, and C were just a demonstration. Please, Goku, try to keep up.” Clearing her throat, she turned back to Trunks. “Anyway, I looked into the future of timeline B and saw that Baby does indeed appear in that timeline. I also made a few other discovers, like the fact that the elder kai was trapped in the Z Sword.”
“For which I owe a great deal of gratitude to Goku for freeing me.” Old Kai replied.
Goku laughed bashfully. “Aw, shucks, it was nothing.”
Baba raised her voice, slightly irritated at being interrupted. “And now that he’s free, he’ll be able to make you stronger through some special training.”
Trunks looked at the elder kai. “Really? You can do that?”
Old Kai nodded. “Yes, I have the power to greatly increase one’s abilities. But even then it won’t be enough. So you’ll be going through double-duty training.”
Trunks nodded excitedly. “Whatever it is, I can take it. Then I’ll go back and defeat Baby.”
Baba stepped forward. “Even with the special training, Baby won’t be easy to beat. He has incredible regeneration abilities. Unless you destroy every last cell, he will revive.”
Trunks groaned. “Just like Cell. Great.”
“Not to worry!” Baba chirped. “Just do what the past Goku did to defeat him. Blast him into the sun.”
Trunks sweat-dropped. “The sun? Yeah, well, I guess that’d do the trick. But I’ll still have to get stronger to pull that off. So, let’s get this training underway.”
Old Kai looked nervous. “Yes, well, the thing about that is that it will take a full day to complete the training.”
“A day?”
“Well, twenty-five hours to be exact.”
That didn’t discourage Trunks. “That’s still not so bad. I just hope 18 can hold on until…” His eyes widened. “18! She’s alone with that monster!” He turned to Baba. “Show me what’s happening!”
Baba grumbled and turned to her crystal ball. “Fine, but you could at least ask nicely.” She cleared her throat. “Hocus pocus, wibbidy wee, show us the fight of 18 and Baby.”
The ball began to glow brightly until their reflections could no longer be seen. When it cleared, the image of Baby and 18 appeared. They were hovering in the air with 18 throwing punches and Baby easily avoiding them, smiling the whole time. While Baby seemed to be enjoying himself, 18 looked like she had taken quite a beating.
“18, no!” Trunks cried in horror.
He watched as Baby ducked under one of 18’s punches and buried his fist in her gut. Then he balled up his hands and brought them down on her, sending the android crashing to the ground.
Trunks growled, furious that he wasn’t there to help her. He turned to Old Kai. “At this rate she’ll be lucky to last ten minutes. There’s no way she’ll survive a whole day.”
Old Kai gave him a sorrowful look. “I’m sorry, but there’s no other way. If you want to defeat Baby, this is the only way.”
Trunks snarled furiously and looked back at the crystal ball. He watched as Baby held 18 up by the arm and proceeded to punch her. He couldn’t watch this anymore, and he kicked the ball away from him.
As Baba cried out and chased after her crystal ball, Trunks turned back to Old Kai. “Fine, then lets get started. If this is going to take a whole day, then we’ve got no time to lose.”
Old Kai nodded. “Good, that’s what I like to hear.”
He snapped his fingers and a large strange structure appeared. Trunks blinked in surprise, looking at the strange device. This was not what he had expected.
Old Kai walked over to the structure and patted it. “Ok now, go stand on top of this.”
Trunks was confused, but he did as he was told. Strangely, on the top was a crank with a bag of coffee beans resting against. “What’s this supposed to be?”
“No questions!” Old Kai snapped. “If you want to get stronger, then you’re going to have to do what I tell you. Now, pour the beans into the grinder.” Having no idea what this had to do with training, Trunks did as he was told. Old Kai nodded in satisfaction. “Ok, now don’t move from that spot. Just keep turning that crank until I tell you to stop.”
Trunks looked down at him. “And you’re sure this will make me stronger?”
“Do you want my help, or not?”
Trunks winced. “Y-Yes.”
“Then start cranking!” He crossed his arms and waited for Trunks to begin. Once the saiyan started turning the crank, the elder kai prepared to do his part. He cleared his throat and shouted loudly. “WAKE UP YOU LAZY NO GOOD POWERS!!!” Everyone jumped in surprise. “Sleeping all this time, how dare you!”
As Trunks turned the crank, Old Kai struck an unusual pose. Then he began muttering unintelligible words as he did a strange dance around the unusual coffee grinding, kicking up dirt every now and then.
On the side, Goku and the other’s watched with strange looks on their faces. “Is this really how it’s done?” the saiyan asked. He glanced at the witch. “Hey, Baba, will this really make him stronger?”
Baba, who had been shining her crystal ball from when Trunks kicked it, snapped at Goku angrily. “Of course I’m sure! In timeline B, Gohan went through this ritual and gained incredible strength. And you went through the grinding exercise and came out much stronger as well.”
Goku sweat-dropped, rubbing the back of his head nervously. “Really? Well, ok, I’ll take your word for it.” He looked back at Trunks, feeling sorry for the poor guy. “I think I’d rather train the normal way.”

(A/N: Yes, Trunks is alive. Goku managed to save him. If you think about it, I never directly said that Trunks died, only that he lost. But now he's going through the most boring training imaginable, but it'll really pay off in the end. It's a good thing Baba was able to look into alternate timelines. I don't know if she really can, but, oh well. In the meantime, 18 is completely at Baby's mercy. If Trunks couldn't beat him, there's no way she can. Hopefully she'll be able to last a whole day.)
