"System," Rayden asked mentally, "can Time Travel take me anywhere?"
A mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
"Yes, Host. As long as you think of a specific time and place, you can open a dimensional gate with a wave of your hand. Entering it will bring you there instantly."
"Can I bring someone with me?"
"Yes. You may bring up to 10 people at a time."
Rayden's eyes lit up. "Perfect! This is way more convenient than the Supreme Kai version of Instant Transmission."
Whoosh!
With a gust of wind, Cell flew over.
"Hey, Rayden! What are you doing here?" Cell asked, landing nearby. "You just disappeared. I was about to head back to Earth to ask Shenron to revive you."
Rayden blinked. "Wait, you're totally fine? I died in that explosion and you didn't even take a scratch?"
Cell smiled. "Of course! I have to say, Dr. Gero really was a genius. Even if I blow myself up, my core chip is nearly indestructible."
Rayden shook his head, chuckling. "Still, maybe don't use that move unless you have no choice. I was seriously caught off guard."
He reached into his storage ring and took out two Spirit Fruits and one Spirit Tree Seed, handing them to Cell.
"Here—these Spirit Fruits will boost your combat power and extend your lifespan a bit."
"And this seed—do you want to try planting a Spirit Tree?"
Cell took a bite of the fruit. "Huh. Power feels the same, but the vitality... yeah, this is good."
"So how do I plant this tree?"
Rayden grinned. "Simple. Just find any planet, toss the seed on the ground, and the tree will grow on its own. The last fruit at the top will become another seed."
"Got it. I'll give it a try."
Rayden handed over several empty universal capsules. "Store whatever fruits you harvest. Just remember to leave some for Broly—he really likes them."
Swish!
Cell nodded and vanished using Instant Transmission, off to begin his tree-planting journey.
Rayden also used Instant Transmission and returned to Earth.

Capsule Corporation – West City
Rayden flew down from the sky toward Bulma's house.
"Tais?" he asked, seeing her sitting under a tree with a notepad.
"Rayden! Here to see Bulma?"
"She's not home?"
"I wanted to research something with her," Rayden said.
"She went out earlier. Should be back in the evening," Tais replied. "Honestly, I thought you'd gone back to the universe with Jaco."
Rayden raised an eyebrow. "You didn't go with him this time?"
"No," she sighed. "When I got back, I wrote a novel about my experiences in space... but nobody on Earth liked it."
Rayden laughed. "You need better source material."
"Maybe you're right."
"How about this—let me tell you a few stories. Might help spark your creativity."
Rayden began to recount tales from various anime, martial arts epics, and cultivation sagas he remembered from his previous life.
Tais sat wide-eyed, completely absorbed.
"Wow... what was I even writing before? No wonder no one read it!"
"Rayden, your stories are amazing! If you ever write a novel, you'll be an instant hit!"
Rayden smiled. "If this wasn't the Dragon Ball world, I might've tried. But here, only the strong survive."
Before they realized it, night had fallen.
Vrrrm!
An electric scooter pulled into the driveway. Bulma had returned.
"Rayden? What are you doing here?"
"Bulma! Perfect timing—I need you to make me a Dragon Ball radar."
"No problem. I still have one at home," she said, heading toward the house.
"Wait! Not just a regular radar."
Rayden quickly explained, "I want a Super Dragon Ball Radar—one that can detect the planet-sized Dragon Balls across the universe. They belong to Super Shenron and can grant any wish."
Bulma's eyes sparkled. "Planet-sized Dragon Balls? That sounds incredible! I definitely want to see them."
"I'll do my best. Come back in a few days—I'll have something for you."
"Thanks, Bulma. See you later. Bye, Tais!"
Rayden vanished once again using Instant Transmission.

Earth – Island Training Grounds
Swish!
Rayden reappeared beside Goku, Vegeta, and the others.
"Rayden, you're back! Where's the cloaked guy?" Goku asked, looking around.
"He had other business to take care of. He's off exploring the universe," Rayden answered.
Goku nodded. "That's too bad. I was really hoping to spar with him."
Rayden turned to Vegeta. "Vegeta, I just learned a new ability—Time Travel. Want to visit Trunks' future timeline and see it for yourself?"
Vegeta's eyes widened. "You're serious?"
"Goku, go get Gohan. He should see this too."
"On it!" Goku said and disappeared.
---
Moments later, Goku returned with Gohan.
"Uncle Rayden, what's this about?" Gohan asked curiously.
Rayden replied, "We're going to Trunks' future. There's something I want you all to see."
Rayden raised his hand. A shimmering dimensional wall appeared in front of them.
He entered first, followed by Broly, Paragus, Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo.

Future Trunks' Timeline
They emerged into a desolate wasteland. Crumbling skyscrapers, burned-out vehicles, and broken roads filled the view.
"This… is the future?" Piccolo whispered.
"Is this really Earth?" Vegeta muttered in disbelief.
Rayden nodded. "Let's go. I can sense Trunks' Ki."
He took off, and everyone followed behind.
"I can't believe Earth became like this…" Goku said, shaking his head.
Broly chimed in, "It's because the Kakarot from this timeline wasn't strong enough. The androids destroyed everything."
Goku stayed silent.

Elsewhere
Trunks and Bulma were eating lunch underground when Trunks suddenly stood up, startled.
"Mom… there are powerful energy signatures heading this way!"
Bulma looked at him nervously. "Be careful!"
Trunks stepped outside. Within seconds, the air split with the sounds of rushing wind.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Rayden and the others descended from the sky.
"Dad?! Uncle Rayden? Uncle Goku?!" Trunks was stunned. "Why are you all here?"
"Where's Bulma?" Vegeta asked, glancing around.
"She's in the basement. Follow me!"
They entered a hidden underground base.
"You're back early, Trunks!" Bulma called out.
She turned the corner—and froze. Her eyes welled up.
"Goku? Vegeta? You're alive?!"
She ran forward and hugged Vegeta.
Trunks smiled. "Mom, this is my dad and Goku from the past. They came here using time travel."
Bulma wiped her tears. "Oh... I see."
"It's fine," Vegeta said, awkward but not resisting.
They all sat down in the living room.
Rayden turned to Trunks. "Did you deal with the Androids and Cell?"
"I took care of the Androids," Trunks replied. "But I don't know where Cell is hiding."
"Got it."
Rayden turned to Broly. "Let's go hunt him down."
The two left the bunker together.
"Is that really Rayden?" Bulma asked.
"Yes," Trunks confirmed. "That's the one I told you about."
"Then I believe it," she said. "Peace might return to this world soon."
