(A/N: I've had a couple people ask me what happened to the rest of the Z fighters, where they were, and if they would meet Trunks. As of now, the others are on Grand Kai's planet with all the other dead warriors or on the heavenly planet where the non-fighters go. The only reason Goku is on the Supreme Kai planet was because, in this time period, he's the only one strong enough to break the Z Sword and free Old Kai. I have not yet decided what's become of Vegeta. In this time period, he died before he had his change of heart, though he has mellowed down quite a bit from his darker days. He's either in Hell or, had his body taken as punishment for his sins. You decide until I can come up with something. For now, enjoy the next chapter.)

Chapter 28: Training Completed
The door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber opened and 18 stepped outside for the first time in a year. Her clothes were torn rags and she was an utter mess. She had been serious when she had said that she would train nonstop for a full year. And now a year had passed, and her training was finally complete.
She found the others outside, unaware of her presence since she couldn’t be sensed. All three were looking off the edge of the Lookout, though only two could actually see what was going on below.
“I’m gone a year and there’s no one to greet me when I return.” She remarked.
They turned to her in surprise. “Oh, 18, you’re back.” Said Dende.
She nodded. “Yeah, and hopefully strong enough t face Baby.”
Bulma couldn’t resist holding her nose. “You smell awful.”
18 glared at her. “I trained nonstop for the whole year. And I literally mean nonstop.” She shifted uncomfortably. “Though I do feel very dirty. Not bathing for a year is utterly disgusting.”
Dende raised his staff towards her. “Here, this’ll help.”
A beam of light shot out of his staff. 18’s body began to glow. When the light vanished, she was freshly cleaned, and even her clothes were mended. She looked down at herself in surprise.
“That’s cool.” She said. “Thanks, I feel a lot better.” Then the smile left her face and her eyes narrowed. “Now tell me, what’s happening with Baby?”
The others frowned. As the Guardian of Earth, Dende felt as if it was his duty to tell her. “He’s been going around infecting people. He’s already taken over a few hundred of them.”
18’s fists clenched. “Then I better stop him before he gets to anyone else.”
Not waiting any longer, she took off. This time she was going to defeat Baby. But she still doubted her own power. Though the Tuffle himself wasn’t that strong, while in possession of Rilldo’s body, Baby was in a league of his own. Therefore she decided to stop at Korin’s and pick up all the Sensu Beans the cat had. That way even if she was beaten to the point of death, she could recover right away and resume the battle. Perhaps that would give her the edge she needed to defeat Baby.

Trunks’ patience was at an end. It had to have been at least a day since he had begun this ridiculous nonsense, and he still hadn’t felt anything. Surely, surely, he would have felt something by now. But no, there hadn’t been the slightest increase in power.
He angrily turned to the elder kai. All his anger evaporated to be replaced with complete shock. ‘I don’t believe it! The old guy is actually sleeping. No wonder nothing’s happened to me, he’s not doing his job.’ Anger returning, he shouted furiously at Old Kai. “Hey, wake up, you old geezer!”
The snot bubble at the end of Old Kai’s nose popped and he looked up at Trunks in surprise. “Huh? What? Keep quiet, boy, and keep turning.”
“Keep turning?” Trunks shouted. “My power hasn’t gone up at all! And you’re down there sleeping on the job!”
Old Kai grumbled irritably. “Now you listen here, sonny, I’m over fifteen million years old. I know what I’m doing. I’m capable of working my magic even when I’m asleep. You’re the one who’s not doing your job.”
“You said twenty-five hours. It has to have been at least twenty-five hours.”
Old Kai raised an eyebrow. “Oh my, you’re right. Well, sometimes it can take longer for really strong people. I say give it another forty minutes, then you should be done.”
Trunks was seething with fury. “Old man…”
Old Kai’s serious expression returned. “Trust me, boy. I give you my word of honor as a Supreme Kai that it will be worth it. Forty more minutes, that’s all I ask.”
Trunks struggled to control his fury. He glanced at Goku, who had awoken from his nap, silently asking if he should trust the elder kai. Goku’s expression was serious as he nodded.
Grumbling, Trunks turned back to the crank. “Fine, forty minutes more, then I’m out of here.”
He looked back at Old Kai and his mouth dropped open. He couldn’t believe it; the guy was asleep again!

Baby was pleased with his progress. It had only been a day and he had already infected an entire city. Everything was going according to plan. First this city, then the entire planet. Next will be the whole galaxy, and then the entire universe.
“Lord Baby,” one of his subjects said, “we’ve found the next closest city. We can begin the takeover immediately.”
Baby swirled around his glass of wine, smiling contently. “Excellent. Let’s get started then, shall we? After all, I have an entire race to repopulate.”
“Not on my watch!”
Baby looked up to find a blast of energy flying towards him. With a snarl, he jumped up and kicked the blast of energy away. He was surprised to see someone he thought dead hovering in the air, having been the one to attack him.
“You, but I thought I killed you.”
18 glared at him. “I can’t die yet, not until I kill you.”
Baby laughed. “You kill me? That’s a laugh. Yesterday you didn’t stand a chance. Now you think you can beat me?”
18 prepared for battle. “If I can’t, I’ll die trying.”
She flew at him at speeds much faster than she did yesterday. Baby’s eyes widened in surprise. 18’s fist collided with his face before he could react, sending him flying. 18 appeared behind him and kicked him in the back, sending him crashing to the ground.
While Baby was down, 18 rapidly fired blasts of energy down at him. The barrage of attacks slammed into him, preventing him from being able to get up. 18 kept up attacking, not planning on stopping until he was dead. She knew that she had been lucky to catch him off guard right away. Now, while he was down, she wasn’t going to stop until he was blown straight to Hell. She had an unlimited supply of energy, but Baby’s strength would run out eventually.
“This is for Trunks!” she shouted down at him. “When you see him in Other World, I hope he kicks your ass!”
There was a sudden explosion of power from down below as Baby unleashed his power. The force of the attack knocked back 18’s rain of energy blasts, forcing her to retreat.
When the dust cleared, Baby was once again on his feet. He looked slightly beat up, but he didn’t seem harmed too much, any severe damage having healed with his regeneration abilities. He looked up at 18 more seriously. “Impressive. That little display of power was far greater than anything you showed yesterday. Tell me, how did you get so strong?”
18 glared at him. “My determination to kill you helped me. I will avenge Trunks.”
Baby laughed. “You’re still worked up over that pathetic insect? How sad. That pest isn’t worth avenging. Not that you could. Even with your increased strength, you still can’t beat me.”
“Like I said, I’ll die trying. I’m not going to let you get away with what you’ve done. You will pay for what you did to Trunks!”
Baby crossed his arms, looking at her curiously. “You know, you have some real potential. Why don’t you join me? I could use someone like you. I’ll even take you on as my queen. You’ll be able to rule the universe by my side as queen of the new race of Tuffles. What do you say?”
18 looked absolutely insulted. “You have got to be out of your damn mind. There’s no way in hell I’d join you, let alone be your queen.”
Baby chuckled. “Well, once I turn you into a Tuffle, you won’t have much say in the matter.”
“I’d rather die than be controlled by you!”
Baby shrugged. “Well, the offer is on the table. If at any point the pain becomes too much and you change your mind, I’ll be happy to add you to my new race. Until then,” he got ready to attack, “prepare yourself!”
And then the battle officially began.

Trunks’ grip on the crank tightened so much that it cracked. He didn’t know how long it had been, but forty minutes had to be up by now. He looked down at Old Kai. He was no longer asleep, but he was now readying a manga, laughing every now and then.
Trunks lost his patience. “Hey, old guy, how much longer do we have to do this?”
Old Kai looked up at him. “Huh? Oh, well, actually we finished about seven minutes ago.”
Shocked, Trunks went tumbling off the giant coffee maker. “What? You mean we’re finished? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Why didn’t you ask?”
Truthfully, Trunks wasn’t surprised by the elder kai’s reply. “I still don’t feel anything.”
Old Kai sighed. “That’s because you haven’t powered up. Simply go Super Saiyan and your power will go far beyond whatever you had before. But before we do that, we have to complete the second part of your training.”
“Second part!” Trunks cried in outrage. “What second part?”
Old Kai stood up. “I told you before that you’d be doing double-duty training. That power raising ritual was the first part. I’m afraid the second part will take a little longer.”
Trunks stomped his foot, shattering the ground. “I can’t wait any longer. Can’t you sense what’s going on? Baby’s fighting someone again, someone I can’t sense. That can only be 18.”
“Not to worry.” Old Kai replied. “While you’ve been training here, she’s spent a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber getting stronger. And I must say, she’s got some stamina. She trained nonstop; didn’t even rest for a minute. She’s a lot stronger now. She’ll be able to hold her own against Baby for a while.”
Trunks wasn’t satisfied with that. “She won’t last though. I have to go now.”
Old Kai studied him for a moment. “Well, if you’re so determine to get back, there is a way to speed up you’re training.”
Trunks felt both relieved by this and also infuriated that the elder kai hadn’t mentioned this sooner. “Really? Well then, what are we waiting for? Let’s get started.”
Old Kai continued to study him. “Ok, but just know that it will be painful. More painful than you could possibly imagine. Can you deal with that?”
Trunks’ eyes narrowed. “Any amount of pain will be worth saving innocent lives. So lets do this.”
Old Kai sighed. “Very well then… Turn around and drop you’re pants.”
Trunks fell over anime style. “What? You’ve got to be kidding me! I don’t swing that way!”
A blush stained Old Kai’s face and he looked furious. “I don’t either! I can’t believe you thought that of me!” He regained his composure. “Now do as I say. Drop your pants.”
Turning red with embarrassment, Trunks turned around and, hesitating a moment, dropped his pants. Old Kai approached him, reaching out and touching his three-inch long tail.
“Hmm, still a ways to go. But at this length it will be easier to work with.”
Trunks glanced over his shoulder and felt his tail. “What? A tail?”
Old Kai nodded. “Well, you are a saiyan, aren’t you?”
Trunks rubbed the short fur of his beginning point of a tail. “Well, I had my tail removed when I was born. The thought of getting it back never occurred to me.”
Old Kai humphed. “A saiyan who’s naïve about his own ancestry. Don’t you know that a saiyan’s tail provides him with most of his power? You strength will increase greatly once it’s fully regrown.”
Trunks glanced at the coffee maker. “So that’s what that device was for? Regrowing my tail?”
Old Kai nodded. “Yes, but since you’re so impatient, we’ll have to do it manually.” He turned to Goku and the others. “Hey, are you going to stand there all day, or are you going to help out?”
Goku, Supreme Kai, and Kibito all winced. “Y-Yes, ancestor!”
“Good.” He motioned for them to come over. “Goku, you grab his tail. Supreme Kai, you hold onto Goku, Kibito, you hold Supreme Kai, and I’ll hold onto you. Trunks, you grab hold of something solid.”
They were all confused by the elder kai’s request, but did as they were told. Trunks wrapped his arms around a large boulder that was buried in the ground and held on tightly. He felt Goku grasp his tail and suddenly had a bad feeling that he knew what was going to happen.
“Now hold on tightly, Trunks.” Old Kai told him. “Everyone else, on the count of three, pull as hard as you can. Ready, one, two, three, PULL!!!”
All four of them pulled. Pain exploded through Trunks’ whole body as he held onto the boulder, screaming in pain. Old Kai was right, it was painful. He didn’t know anything could be so painful. His eyes were actually tearing from the terrible agony.
“Again!” Old Kai cried. “One, two three, pull!”
More pain, making Trunks feel sick to his stomach. That had only been the second pull and he was ready to call it quits, it hurt so much. But he gritted his teeth as Old Kai counted down again.
The large rock Trunks was holding onto unearthed and all five off them went flying.
“Did it work?” Trunks asked hopefully.
Old Kai, who was on the bottom, struggled to breathe. “No, not yet. We’ll have to find a better rock.”
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)
18 was knocked to the ground again. She had been able to hold her own against Baby for a while, but he was still too strong for her.
As Baby approached her fallen form, she glared up at him, forcing herself to stand up. Baby raised an eyebrow. “Even now you resist me? I don’t know if I should be impressed by your determination, or amused by your inability to accept the fact that you simply can’t win.”
18 smirked at him. “I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.” She reached into her pocket and took out a bag containing 22 Senzu beans. “This fight is just getting started.”
The bag in her hand suddenly burst into flames. Shocked, she dropped the flaming bag and looked up at Baby, who had fired a blast of energy at the bag. He was grinning.
“Oops, I hope I didn’t ruin your plans.” He said. “I don’t know what was in that bag, but it’s nothing but a pile of ashes now.”
18 looked down at the bag, horrified. She hadn’t counted on losing the Senzu beans. Now what was she supposed to do? Even after all that training, she still wasn’t strong enough to win. Perhaps she should have stayed in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a full two years.
‘That’s it.’ she realized. ‘It’s my only hope. I still can’t beat him as I am now. I have to get back to the chamber and train some more.’
Raising her hand, she fired a blast of energy. Baby knocked it away and saw 18 trying to escape. He smirked and went after her. She stopped as he reappeared directly in front of her with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
“You escaped from me once before,” he told her, “but not again. This time we’re going to finish what we started.”

Trunks’ cries of pain echoed across the land as Goku and the others attempted to extend his tail again. All around them were uprooted trees and unearthed boulders that had been torn up. Even after all this pulling, Trunks tail had only extended about two inches.
“One, two, three, pull!”
Another yank, another cry of pain, another tree ripped out of the ground. The five of them toppled over again, having hardly made any progress.
“This hurts like a son of a bitch.” Trunks told them with tears in his eyes. “And it’s still taking too long.”
“This is the fastest way to do this.” Old Kai told him. “Now find something else to grab hold of.”
Goku stood up and dusted himself off. “Hey, if you don’t mind, I have an idea I would like to try.”
If it would stop the unbearable pain, Trunks was willing to do it. “And what would that be?”
Goku smiled. “Ok, first just hover in the air lying face-down.”
Trunks raised an eyebrow in confusion, but did as he was told. He laid face-down on the ground and then floated a few feet off the ground. “Ok, now what?”
Goku hovered over to him, placing the bottom of his feet against Trunks’ and grabbed hold of his tail. “Ok, on the count of three, push off against me as hard as you can and I’ll do the same.”
Supreme Kai nodded at this. “Yes, that may work. It’ll be better than us simply pulling.”
Old Kai had to agree. “Yes, that may work better. Just be sure not to pull it off or we’ll have to start all over again.”
Trunks gulped. He didn’t have the time, or the tolerance of pain, to start all over. “Let’s do it.”
Goku nodded. “Ok, on the count of three. One, two three!”
Both Goku and Trunks pushed against each other. The pain was excruciating, even worse than before. Yet progress was made as his tail extended a few inches, then a few inches more.
“Yes, that’s it!” Supreme Kai cheered. “Keep going!”
The two saiyans put all their strength into it, pulling Trunks’ tail out further. Trunks was blinded by pain, feeling nauseas.
“Almost there.” Old Kai told them. “Just a little more.”
Further and further Trunks’ tail extended, until it finally went as far as it could go. Goku’s grip slipped and both he and Trunks went flying in different directions, with Goku crashing into a tree and Trunks slamming into a large rock formation.
Supreme Kai blinked. “That’s gotta hurt. Hey, Trunks, Goku, are you ok?”
Goku, who was sticking out of the other side of the tree trunk, stood up. “Don’t worry, my head is harder than that.” He looked at the pile of rocks Trunks was buried under. “Hey, Trunks, you all right?”
The young saiyan burst up from beneath the pile of rocks, a fully grown saiyan tail hanging from his rear. “I’m fine. And look, we did it.”
The others, aside from Kibito, cheered happily.
“All right!” Goku cried. “Now you’ll be able to reach your true potential. I’m sure you’ll be able to stop Baby now.” A sudden thought occurred to him. “Just make sure you don’t ever look at the full moon.”
“Goku,” said Supreme Kai, “the earth’s moon was destroyed by your friend Piccolo long ago.”
Goku snapped his fingers. “Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.”
Trunks stroked his new tail, smiling down at it. “Hey, I kind of like this thing. I could get used to it.”
Old Kai nodded, a serious look on his face. “Yes, with your tail, you’ll be able to unleash the full extent of your saiyan might. Just remember one thing. A saiyans tail is his greatest strength, but it’s also his greatest weakness.”
Goku’s eyes narrowed, recalling the times he had a tail. “He’s right. If anyone grabs it, you’ll be rendered powerless. You can train yourself to get rid of that weakness, but it’ll take a couple months.”
“I don’t have time for that.” Trunks replied. “But I’ll be sure to train myself to get rid of that weakness as soon as I beat Baby.” He glanced at Old Kai. “I take it I’m done now, right?”
The elder kai nodded. “Yes, I’m afraid I’ve done all I can for you right now. The rest will be up to you.”
Trunks nodded in understanding. “Right.” He turned to Goku. “Are you sure you can’t come help me?”
Goku sadly shook his head. “Sorry, but you’ll have to handle this on your own.”
Trunks looked down. “I understand.” Then a thought occurred to him. “But wait how do I get back?”
Supreme Kai smiled. “I will be taking you back. I too am capable of Instant Transmission.”
Trunks gave him a hopeful look. “Then does that mean that you’ll help me fight Baby?”
The smile on Supreme Kai’s face vanished. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have the strength to defeat Baby. I’m afraid I’ll only get in the way.”
Trunks couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “But you’re the Supreme Kai.”
He nodded. “Yes, but you’ve surpassed even me in strength. I wouldn’t stand a chance against you.”
Refusing to believe this, Kibito snorted and crossed his arms, looking away. “Ridiculous.”
Supreme Kai smiled at his friend’s remark. “It’s true, Kibito, whether you believe it or not.” He held out his hand to Trunks. “Now come, we have not a moment to lose.”
Trunks began to reach for his hand when Baba’s shout stopped him. “Hold it right there!” All heads turned to her. “I have something very important to tell you before you go back. It’s regarding the Dragon Balls.”
Trunks raised an eyebrow. “What about the Dragon Balls?”
Baba folded her hands. “While looking into the alternate timeline, I made a startling discovery. I must warn you about overusing the Dragon Balls.”
“Overusing the Dragon Balls?”
The witch nodded. “Yes, now listen closely. You know that all forms of energy contain both positive and negative energy. Yin and Yang. This goes for the Dragon Balls as well. Every time you make a wish, all the negative energy that helps to make the wish come true is sealed away in the Dragon Balls. But if you use the Dragon Balls too much, then the Dragon Balls will burst, and all the negative energy will escape.”
Trunks didn’t like the sound of that. “And what happens if it does?”
Baba gave him a serious look. “I saw this in the alternate timeline. After the negative energy escaped, it gave birth to seven evil dragons. Goku was able to defeat these dragons and restore the Dragon Balls to normal, but we must not let that happen here. If it does, you’ll be facing enemies with unspeakable power, so strong that they will make Baby seem like a pushover.”
Trunks’ eyes were wide in shock. “So, there’s actually a limit to the Dragon Balls’ uses.”
Baba shook her head. “Not quite. Ordinarily, when a wish is made, the negative energy will seep out slowly and harmlessly over time. But for every wish, it takes a hundred years for the energy to dissipate. That’s why they scatter after the wish is granted, to give the negative energy time to disperse. But with that radar your mother invented, collecting the Dragon Balls has become child’s play.”
Trunks looked down, not liking this bit of news. “So we can only use the Dragon Balls a few more times. How many wishes can the dragon grant before the negative energy becomes too much?”
Baba blinked. “Um, lets see.” She gazed into her crystal ball. “I’ll have to look at the other timeline and count all the wishes. Ok, lets see now. There was the pair of underwear, removing the Blood Rubies from the Land of Gurumes, bringing Bora back to life, restoring King Piccolo’s youth, bringing back to life the people King Piccolo killed, restoring the moon that my idiot brother destroyed, Garlic Jr. wishing for immortality, restoring Lord Slug’s youth, melting the ice frozen over Dr. Wheelo’s laboratory, restoring the forest after it was burned down, bringing Goku back to life, bringing back all the people killed by Frieza, bringing back all the people killed by Cell, removing the bombs in 17 and 18’s chests, briefly reviving Goku to help defeat Broly, bringing back everyone Vegeta killed at the World Martial Arts Tournament-”
“Wait,” Trunks interrupted, “my father killed people?”
Baba glared at him. “Yes, and don’t interrupt. Now where was I? Ah yes. Removing the memories of Majin Buu from everyone, and to open the magic music box that contained Tapion. Phew, that’s all. Oh, wait, there were also the two made before Bulma made the Dragon Radar. My brother mentioned it before. Someone once wished to rule the world, which caused a great deal of trouble. Several years later, another wish was made to remove all the evils that first wish made. The Dragon Balls didn’t have the one hundred years needed to dissipate the negative energy from those two wishes either. Ok, so including those two, that’s, lets see now, one, two, three… a total of twenty wishes. That’s when the Dragon Balls cracked. Upon attempting to make a twenty-first wish, the negative energy was released.”
Old Kai snorted. “Bah, using the Dragon Balls for every little thing. It’s outrageous. Can’t this generation do anything on it’s own? That pair of woman’s underwear that stupid pig wished for was the only good wish.” He glared at Trunks. “Don’t you go making the same mistake the people in that timeline made.”
Trunks sweat-dropped and glanced at Baba. “So, how many wishes do we have left in this timeline?”
Baba checked quickly. “Twelve. You can make twelve more wishes before the Dragon Balls crack. After that, if you attempt to use them again, the negative energy will be unleashed.”
Trunks nodded in understanding. “How about the Namekian Dragon Balls?”
Baba just waved it off. “You don’t need to worry about them. They can hold ten times as much negative energy as the earth’s Dragon Balls. In any case, as things stand, it’s going to take 1400 years for the current amount of negative energy stored in the Dragon Balls to dissipate.”
Trunks nodded in understanding. “Right. I’ll make sure the Dragon Balls aren’t used lightly anymore.” He turned to Supreme Kai. “All right, I’m ready to go back now.”
Supreme Kai held out his hand again. Trunks grasped it and the two disappeared.
“Good luck.” Baba muttered.
Goku just smiled. “Don’t worry, he’ll do it. He’s the son of Vegeta after all.”
“Yeah,” Old Kai agreed, “everything will turn out ok.” A dreamy look appeared on his face and he began drooling. “And once he defeats that big bad Baby, I’ll get my date and kiss from that Earth girl. With lipstick, of course. Hee, hee, hee!”

(A/N: Oh, Old Kai an his perverted ways. They never did mention what happened with that. I can only assume that Vegeta refused to allow the date to happen. Anyway, Trunks has finished his training, and now has a saiyan tail. Now he's off to defeat Baby. And with Baba's warning, there won't be any Shadow Dragons showing up. As for the wishes that did create the Shadow Dragons, I also included the ones from the movies to make an accurate amount of negative energy build up. Twenty wishes seems reasonable, though I can only assume that one of those wishes had been used to bring back the moon Master Roshi destroyed before Piccolo blew it up again. Well, I think I've talked enough. If there are any questions, just ask me in a review, though I'd be happy to receive a review even if you didn't have any question. Hint, hint.)
