*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
From the safety of his capsule corp state of the art Time Machine , Trunks stared at the pure white sky that was the realm of time , his temples hastily pulsing as he tried to ignore the ever beeping alarm that was his time machines main console and glanced at his blue glowing custom time ring.
At first he had been quite proud of it, it wasn't everyday a former mortal got to be in a godly position let alone a Supreme kai of time, but that also meant there was no excuse for not taking on missions as he had no use for a Time Machine other than a home base, as he could roam time without one.
He was subjected to the most endless amount of annoying missions it was insane, he hadn't really been back to his home universe since defeating the androids 4 years ago(1999 end of cell saga).The time could be even longer considering the time chamber, he visited only here and there and it wasn't uncommon for patrollers with time machines to be gone for decades.
*Beep* *Beep*
Finally tired of the constant beeping trunks resigning of his fate, straightened himself in his chair and checked the ring for the problem location coordinates, it was at a place called the √.
"That's weird?"
"Probably Zamasu again. "Trunks huffed, the coward had escaped time prison a while ago and had shown up almost everywhere at this point, trying to escape his actions of destroying universe 250, he was beginning to believe the motherfucker was just randomly pressing coordinates at this point, all to fulfill his "Divine desire" of killing all mortals or whatever.
He should have wished away his immortality a while ago, but the super Dragon balls only worked in the scope of their own multiverse, at least in regards to applying any effect. Once someone like Zamasu escaped the orbit of a multiverse, it was hard for the Dragon to pinpoint them for the wish, and it was a pain to gather any super Dragon Ball, let alone fast enough to get Zamasu before he escaped.
Calibrating the coordinates on his watch, Trunks recalled the last battle they had, or more specifically, Zamasu's final words of the encounter, something along the lines of "I am getting tired of you mortal! In fact, I can't stand the ignorant gods either, all that reality-warping power in a babbling child, and everyone just lives with it! Well, I won't, the world will be meeting a new king very soon."
Reflecting on it, Trunks realized that Zamasu wasn't entirely wrong. He was no longer a mere mortal, but the Omni kings were indeed a pain in the ass. Perhaps Zamasu had found a way to remove them from power and hadn't simply teleported to random coordinates. Trunks had rarely seen anything like it, other than the time patrol base, which had coordinates at ∞(Infinity), or his Time Machine, which was set to the home symbol, which was really just a placeholder; there had never been another coordinate that was a symbol.
"Hopefully, it's not too bad." He signed, activating his time ring. He began lifting up in his time machine, fully glowing before suddenly vanishing in a flash of light. It couldn't be that bad. Zamasu was a known yapper, and it could just be another simple fight.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
There was nothing
Trunks had already rechecked the cords for any anomalies in transport and everything was fine. The coordinates just led to nothing at all, just pure black void, his ring still glowed with alarm though, it meant there was still a problem.
It was the tournament of power void situation all over again, but at least then he could lock on to a power level.
Trunks flew around this void for a bit, looking for any sign of Zamasu or a time anomaly , it or rather the void felt weirdly soothing and familiar as he searched, like a nice relaxing summer day floating down capsule corps lazy river. The atmosphere partly felt like the feeling he got from Tokitoki's eggs , though more full in nature, like an endless pool of energy.
Finally after roaming the void for a while trunks came upon a golden floating door with a purple door handle, it looked to be some kind of grand library given the words " Records Of All" printed in plain red letters on the upper middle part of the door.
'Perhaps this is what Zamasu was looking for'
Propelling himself towards the door, Trunks grabbed the handle and was immediately assaulted with the most overpowering sensation of satisfaction tingling down his very being, along with a strong hit of rejection in the godly and Saiyan part of his brain, as though every accomplishment he had ever completed and wanted to complete was fully realized and not at the same time. Ignoring the conflicting feelings, Trunks enters the so-called record of all.
'Just a normal library, how weird?'
One could expect a library in a void to have a variety of visitors, such as aliens, gods, dogs, and even dinosaurs, yet there was no sign of these species, let alone the green kai. Instead, what appeared in front of Trunk's eyes was a regular earth-like library with humans roaming and reading, shelves upon shelves of books, and, weirdly, a single old computer next to the administrator desk with a guy writing behind it.
" Excuse me sir, have you seen a green fellow a bit taller than me walk in here, he has earrings just like mine" Trunks pointed to his green potara .
The man at the administrator desk shook his head no, not even looking up from his note pad, it was likely he simply didn't enjoy what he wrote and was shaking his head in dismay, but trunks continued.
" Do a favorite section sir, like a favorite book? What section of the library did the last person who enter here go to?"
The man suddenly dropped his pen and pointed both of his hands to the section named favorites, looking confused before shrugging and getting back to his writing.
"ok... thanks then."
'Seems I won't get much help from the people here. They're all like zombies. 'Trunks followed the man's path and went to the favorites section where a group of humans void of expression sat at a lone circular table and blankly stared at their book pages.' well, that settles it. Zamasu's not here; no way he could even pretend to be that quiet.' Though Trunks wondered what could be so interesting that everyone in the library was entirely focused on reading.
Grabbing one of the first books on the shelf, Trunks cracked open a red and white book called "Origins of the First Heroes Depicted." It had a remarkable image of seven heroes on the front, each of a different class, and on the back, a lone hero stood, his head held high with pride.
Time quickly passed as Trunks read the book. The library was still completely frozen, and only a few people were writing.
His upper body trembled as he finished reading the heroic tales. He imagined joining Heracles in his labors, slaying wild beasts like that of the hydra and nemean lion, facing down the gods with the hero King Gilgamesh, and maybe even saving Enkidu in the process, but what truly made Trunk's heartache was the story of the king of Camelot.
In a sense, it was relatable trying to save all of what you consider your world at a young age, yet failing due to the world simply being against you in every way. You give your all to helping those in the world, and some jealous god blows it up; you don't help, and some ignorant android created to do your job blows the planet up anyway; even the most perfect timelines tend to end in disaster. But at least most of the time, there were Dragon balls; in the story of Arthur, there was nothing of the sort, at least at the ease of finding the Dragon balls with the radar.
'The counter guy definitely has taste. I'll have to bring some books with me when I leave. I do wish there were more use of magical artifacts in the stories, though, as opposed to weapons' He was fond of fanatical stories, but he had his own fill of fighting and weapons; the mysteries of magic were more of his style now.
'Is it really the same earth?' Trunks couldn't help but wonder, as he had never heard any of these new stories throughout any timeline despite them all happening on Earth. Some even dealt with unknown gods.
Curios about the question, Trunks walked to the lone computer, which he assumed was the library index, carrying the book he had read and another random one with him.
"Let's see. Earth.
Too broad? Ok... umm, Dragon Balls. Kai? Hakaioshin? Ok, that was dumb.
'Uh, Grand priest. To broad yet again.'
No matter what he typed in, there were no records of anything. Planets and entire species were erased from existence. Even the common dog man was turned into some kind of comic fiction. Humans were more or less the same except for the disappearance of many significant figures.
Swiping his eyes across the screen as he scrolled, Trunks saw a create button on the top left part of the screen.' parody. That's what this library must be about. All the books in the library imagine the universe in an entirely different way.
'If that's the case, I might as well create one of my own.' Moving the mouse over the create tab, Trunks clicked it and was instantly enveloped in a wave of blue that seemed to be analyzing everything about him. On the computer screen, a blank webpage with his name at the top in big letters was displayed, along with an image of his current self. Instead of a writing it was more like character creation.
'Weird but true, each part of ones person has a story'
[Trunks]
[ The record has found anomalies in regards to what species you are considered please elaborate further]
[ Human] [?????] [?????][??????]
' What? I don't have a blend of four races, perhaps it counts titles as well' Trunks filled in the blanks.
[Supreme Kai of Time][ Kai's: are an ageless species of gods that oversee the universe and ensure the peace the section of the universe they are apart of.Supreme Kai: are the upper tier of kai who are the creator gods of the universe ensuring the creation of planets and the development of it and its inhabitants.Supreme Kai of time: Ensure the proper development of timelines, creating new ones via the time bird and destroying those deemed improper timelines. There can only be one supreme kai of time.]
' Perhaps since I'm writing I should show them in a better light, they're mostly extinct anyway.'
[ Saiyan] [ Saiyans are a race of warriors who fight to protect planets such as earth and defend it from external threats like aliens and other causes of disaster. They tend to be excited for battle as they grow stronger after each battle they survive. Saiyans considered good in nature tend to command respect and support when needed, while prideful Saiyans ( Usually higher class) have endless work ethic and willingness to learn." I consider myself a mix of both as the prince of all Saiyans". There are only few Saiyans remaining as their race was wiped out, their planet vegeta laid in ruin.]
' I really don't know what the last one could be,I know what would be cool though, Gohan use to always talk about how he wished he was like Shenron and could endlessly restore the world. Why not add a title similar to that'
[Eternal Dragon] [Eternal Dragon are a species of dragon that possess the power to make dreams and wishes become reality, with the restriction of needing time to regain energy after a wish is made. The eternal dragon of earth has the ability of completing three wishes before a recharge, the energy requirement of the wish made may lower the amount of wishes. The eternal dragon species draw their power from their respective planets or the universe( Super Shenron). These eternal dragons are rare to find as you usually need the Dragonballs to summon them.]
[Species confirmed and recorded]
It moved on to his attire
[The record has analyzed your attire, but has trouble recognizing some of your garment, please elaborate further on items specified]
[ Black Trench coat with Unknown symbol ]
' Interesting something as minor as a clothes brand gets picked up by the system'
[The coat is no difference than any other trench coat and the symbol on the Coat is a sign that I am the heir of Capsule Corp, a company created by a long line of super genius inventors.]
[??Earrings]
' So the rest of my clothing is to regular to be recognized'
[ These Potara earrings are accessories worn by Supreme kai to show their authority over their respective fields, and grants the ability of fusion, allowing the multiplication of power.Other value is unknown.]
[?? RIng]
[A time rings means you have the authority to personal travel across the natural timeline allowing you to change things without creating a new reality, they only change time for a short period. It is usually used as an accessory by the supreme kai of time as they have the power to move through time theirselves. Other value is unknown ]
The computer moved on to the last anomaly not recognized by the system.
[??Sword]
' It's the Z-sword but it's more used for storage these days or when I need the key sword. I think I remember what I stored in it.'
[The Z-Sword was originally created to house a being who had the ability to unlock potential, but now is used as storage for artifacts, and a powerful durable weapon. As of now it carries within it:
10 fruit of the tree of might: A fruit that carries within the energy of an entire planet.
' What was left after a fight with Turles.'
3 of Tokitoki's eggs: The eggs contain the energy needed to create an entire timeline
' Just for safe storage'
20 sense beans: beans that sustain hunger for 10 days, refills all energy, and heals all physical injury.
7 super dragon balls: These Dragonballs house within them the Eternal dragon Super Shenron who pulls energy from the universe to grant wishes.
' Just incase Zamasu goes to release his friends I gathered the time prison timeline's super Dragon Balls']
The computer paused for a second before moving to another page Trunks assumed to be the results of both the general scan and what he had added on.
[ Trunks summary]
[Alive]
[Age: 16]
[Species: Human, Saiyan, Supreme Kai of Time, Eternal Dragon]
[Position: ?????]
[Authority: Time, Creation, Dreams,Development, etc]
[Origin:???]
[Physical status: Healthy, Extremely athletic/powerful, possess immense energy, Pure/Virgin, developing, Transcendent]
'I don't know what the record is supposed to be summarizing, but if this really is supposed to be about my story there's definitely a need to add context. '
[Pure/Virgin] [ Due to his nature as one the most beautiful entities in the universe along with his many responsibilities trunks felt no need to get rid of his pure status. There was once a women he loved, but due to lack of lube in their time of need he had no time to fulfill the act, being interrupted by his mother.]
"There that should correct any..." Trunks attempted to move his hand away from the computer keyboard but to no avail, it was as if his hands were beginning to be sucked into the computer along with his body.
"Fuck" The library around him began to darken as his eyelids grew heavy, the computer was draining him of all his energy.
His breath deepened as his heart pulsed with fever, his lungs sucking in as much air as they could, he could begin to feel his flesh and bone peeling and entering the computer along with the nerves and muscle. " I can't allow myself to die, the timeline needs me and I refuse to let Chronoa down!!"
Breaking his arms trunks twisted his entire body around allowing his sword to fall out of its sheath to the ground, creating a clanging sound. " Fuck its. sucking to fast" He was getting pulled away from the fallen sword. Straining his neck he bit into the sword with the remainder of his energy, cracking the sword and allowing him access to its contents. Left with no energy remaining his lights began to dim, but not before consuming a senzu bean that just so happened to roll over.
The rest of the library still seemed completely normal with those who were reading still reading and those who were writing still writing as they ignored the computer commotion. Suddenly in a flash of red light the computer was sent across the room bouncing of a book shelf and in its wake Trunks stood in his glory as a god not yet knowing the consequences of his coming to this place. " whew! I have to get out of here."
He looked around the library and still nothing changed, the computer reappeared right where it had been except trunks was no longer in its area of effect. Tired after a second of touching the computer even in his god state Trunks, now in his regular state, gathered his items and swiftly left the record, passing out in the void right as began to travel through time to his timeline.
" Mom will take care of it" He yawned.
