“Senzu Beans. And I know you know what they are called.” he replies, leaving you unable to suppress your smirk. He opens his coat, sticking his hand inside and drawing one out, holds his hand open to you. “Here.”
“Appreciate it.” you reply, powering down and gingerly taking the tiny green bean, popping it into your mouth. The tiny thing crunches satisfactorily, even though it has no real taste, chewing and swallowing the magical bean. The effect is almost immediate, you feeling power suddenly course throughout your body. But it gathers at your left shoulder, building up pressure like a water hose with someone standing on it. But then the dam breaks, you feeling that power surge into you. The first sensations you've felt in that arm since it was drained of everything by that overgrown cockroach Cell. Looking down, you see that your right arm is fully restored, clenching your fist as if it wasn't little more than leather-wrapped bones a second ago. “Much better, thank you.”
“Of course. Surprised that that monster was as powerful as he was. Stronger than any 'Perfect' version of him I've ever faced, for him to give you so much trouble.” Trunks replies.
“Do you have any idea what they were here for?” you ask him, Trunks' expression darkening. As it does you see your wife turn the corner, and upon seeing Trunks her aura blazes, charging forward with her dual Ki Blades drawn, ready to murder him. And seeing your expression, or perhaps sensing her he turns, drawing his sword in one fluid motion. Blocking her 'X' slash, stopping them with his blade. “Easy hun, easy. It's over.”
“Over? Really?” your wife asks, backing off after a second and powering down as well. “Well, sorry about that.”
“Don't worry about it, I have caused you all no end of trouble back then.” he replies, sheathing his sword without so much as a glance back while powering down as well. A very practiced move.
“What do you mean you have no idea who is behind this attack?” Freeza shouts, you turning to see the former emperor staring down Mechikabura. Eyes ablaze with demonic power as he glares, furiously boring holes through Mechikabura's face with his stare. “If not you, then who? Who ELSE is sending beings through time? Because I know it wasn't the Time Patrol. Their entrances are too flashy.”
“I am looking into it. When I know who is behind this, and when I get my hands on them, their end will not be swift nor painless.” Mechikabura says, a sudden chill blowing through the room causing a shiver to run up your spine. It had nothing to do with the absolute menace, the rage and cold fury you feel bubbling within Mechikabura for just a moment.
