36 Time Warp 2

And a few moments later, I gasped awake at the feeling of water invading my limbs. I was deep underwater and sinking fast. I flared my golden aura around my and shot up like a rocket, splitting the ocean apart and getting into the sky, hacking, coughing and splutters to dispel the water from my lungs. The only solace was the pain was gone and my body whole and fully healed once again.

"Are you ready to talk now?" the voice of Fu asked from behind me, I glared over my shoulder at him to find him sitting cross legged in the air and just observing me with that small smile still on his face.

It took all my self control not to try and slice him in half with a Destructo Disk. 'Fuck, what a time to not fucking have something to use as containment for the Mafuba!' I growled internally. But, I never thought someone like this would fucking pop up this early! Hell, I never expected to ever run into this guy!

"What the hell do you want Fu?" I snarled, my four hands curling into tight fists as my mind raced to come up with a plan? Maybe try the Electric Kamehameha I'd been working on? Unlikely it would do much damage but the electricity may stun him long enough for me to do something...?

"Oh, so you know me?" his eyes positively gleamed, "Those precognitives vision you inherited from Bardock must really be something!"

...What the hell is he on about?

"You know, when I put those little thoughts in Kami's head to bring you to life with the Dragon Balls I had no idea things would spiral this much!" he clapped his hands excitedly as he beamed at me, "It never occurred to me that you could possibly inherit Bardock's ability to see into the future, Goku never did after all."

..Why the fuck does he think I got those? Did father even get those in the Super timeline? No wait, backtrack, did he just say he's the reason Kami made that wish to Shenron and brought me to life?

"I expected you to change the timeline up a bit, after all two Goku's would surely make things a party," Fu continued on, unperturbed by my racing thoughts, "But this, this is beyond my wildest expectations. The amount of Time Break Energy I got thanks to you in the passed few weeks has been amazing and the show you've given to me watch has just been superb!"

"You're the reason I'm alive?" I asked, scowling at him.

"Hm? Why yes I am," Fu confirmed happily, before waving his hand, "Though, no need to thank me. You've payed off whatever debt you could have possible gotten from that ten times over easily with the amount of energy your actions created by completely throwing the rails of this timeline completely off the track."

As much as I wanted to tell him to slit his throat, I couldn't deny that I was grateful now for this life. doesn't mean I'm not going to show him what oblivion tastes like.

"Whatever, just tell me what you want." I demanded, my hands twitching with the urge to start flinging ki blasts his way.

"Eh, you don't get it?" Fu looked at me like I was stupid before shrugging his shoulders and sighing, "It's simple really. Just look at all the changes you managed to make this early in the timeline, it got me thinking, just what kind of changes could you accomplish if I dropped you off in another timeline later down the line, like during the fight with Frieza or even with Cell, think of the possibilities!"

"Are you fucking crazy!?" I gaped at him, "Fuck off, no seriously! I'll get my ass obliterated by the Time Patrol."

"Nah don't worry about this sticks in the mud," Fu laughed, waving my concerns off as if they didn't have an army of races at their beck and call, an army filled with Frieza Race, Super Saiyans and who knows what else, "See, I spent a few years during the month or so you've been alive sneaking in to Conton City and I managed sneakily hide a bunch of time scrolls in the the shadows of this ones history. Any changes made will be hidden thanks to the crazy stuff you've caused in this timeline."

..What? A few years during the last month? And hid them in the shadow of this timeline? I don't get it at all. Like maybe the same way a brighter light would hide a lower one beneath or behind it maybe? Like so bright it drew all the attention and the others couldn't be noticed due to it?

Wait, that doesn't fucking matter. "Fuck off!" I rejected everything he was saying, way stronger than me or not, this fucking shithead isn't telling me what to do, "I don't want to deal with any of that shit! All I need to do now is learn from the Yardrat's and I can go back to Earth and relax all I want!"

"Laaaaame, this'll be way more fun!" Fu rejected my rejection with a sing-song tone.

"Eat shit and die!" I roared lifting my four arms into the air above me. Golden light swirled together and darkened into a crackling black sphere dancing with green lightning. With a buzzing sound, the sphere grew to titanic proportions as big as a mountain, and then I filled it with more ki, and more, and more and more and more and more and more! I compressed and emptied my entire reserve of Super Saiyan enhanced ki over and over again until I was holding a massive roiling ki sphere of death that was probably approaching the size of a town, it was so big it made me and Fu both look like little ant-like specks in comparison, "Death Bomb!" I shouted as I threw it towards him. Who fucking needs people to share their energy when I have infinite of it myself?

But just as soon as I threw it, the titanic black sphere of death disappeared from existence in the blink of an eye, "...You've got to be fucking kidding me." I deadpanned. I wasn't even shocked really, this dude is just that bullshit.

Fu laughed, his eyes glowing, "Well it's a good thing I can teleport things to Time Rifts, that one might have actually hurt if I didn't," he noted as he began to stand from his cross legged sitting position and in one smooth motion unsheathed the sword hanging from the small of his back, "I'm afraid though Kakarot, your compliance isn't really a factor."

He disappeared from my vision to quickly for me to track and before I could even think to defend myself pain assaulted me across the entirety of my body. With a glint of shining silver steel my left arm alongside the two sprouting from my shoulder blades were severed clean off, quickly followed by my legs before an instant later what felt like the force of a dozen planets crashed into my chest and for the third time in minutes my organs were shredded and my crushed.

All I could do was roar in agony as I felt myself shooting through the air once again. Something shook heavily around me a moment later and I felt solid ground underneath my back for the first time since this began.

"Kakarot!" I heard Bulma's voice scream in terror.

Something surged within me and my rage grew to new heights, I opened up my eyes to find Fu pinning me to the bottom a crater on the island the Tree of Might was planted on, one foot planted on my chest keeping me down while the he held my arm tightly between his own two and slipped a familiar silver ring onto my middle finger, where it immediately tightened and fastened around my skin.

I had no limbs to attack back with. But that didn't fucking matter. This shit head made my Bulma scream like that, made her sound so scared He's fucking DEAD! Roaring, I pulled on the golden radiance within me more, I needed more! I dragged all I could, not just into my aura and ki but into my body itself! My brain, my eyes, my muscles, my hair.

Everything was used as a conduit to bring out more power. My aura exploded into existence and I compressed and directed it blasting it up at him with all the power I could muster in the form of a raging hurricane of golden power dancing with lightning!

I saw him wince as a cut opened up on his cheek, "Let me explain how this will work," he began, talking over my howling energy and ignoring the slices that were opening up all over his body, "This is a Time Ring, but I've modified it a bit using magic. When I feel like it, it will take you to specific timelines I've loaded the coordinates in and once there you won't be able to return to this timeline unless you've done something significantly impressive that will change the course of history like you've done here in this time." he explained.

I was only listening with half an ear however. Both because of the concentration I was focusing into using my super saiyan power to attack....and because I felt it as the mind numbing pain of my body lessened and my limbs grew back!

As he finished, I thrust my newly regrown left arm up, crimson ki glittering dangerously and unleashing a full powered energy blast. But just as I did, Fu smiled down at me and suddenly disappeared as if he was never there at all allowing my beam to shot up through the air and hit nothing at all.

"Fuck.." I groaned, cutting my aura off and slumping back into the crater I found myself in.

"Kakarot, are you okay!?" Bulma jumped into the crater, Dende rushing in behind her a terrified look on his small face.

My vision swam. 'I...I...should give him some more fruit so he's stronger and can protect himself better...' I thought blearily. I felt like I was going to pass out. "I'm fi-" I made to assure them both regardless of how I felt, but as I was mid reply a gentle bell-like chiming sound came from my right hand and I looked down to see the Time Ring on my middle finger beginning to glow.

"..You've got to be fucking kidding me." I groaned, exhausted and defeated all at once.
