>>5191943“T-T-Trunks?!” you shout in astonishment, falling back in shock as the powerful half-Saiyan time traveler appears. He's not dressed in his Capsule Corp jacket that you'd first seen him in all those years ago. Instead he's wearing a long black coat, hands covered in gloves and with his hair long like it was the first time he fought Cell in that Ultra buff Super Saiyan form. And he doesn't look happy. “Wh-What the hell are you doing way out here?”
“I'm back for my sword.” he says, holding out his gloved hand as you nervously rise back to your feet. “I'd appreciate it if you handed that back now, and didn't put up a fight about it.”
“I knew you would be back for it, so I kept it safe for you.” you lie through your teeth, unbuckling the sheath from around you and holding it out to him. “Here.”
“Appreciate it.” he says, taking the sword and with practiced ease slings it over his back. The buckle snaps shut, the half-Saiyan giving you a nod. Then, almost as if it's an afterthought his brows furrow as he looks at you. “I know who you're going to help, and I don't approve of you using your knowledge in this way.”
As he says this you gulp nervously, worried that he's going to interfere with your plan for an easy life somehow. But instead he continues talking, instead giving you a dire warning.
“I can't say I agree with helping Freeza of all people get a wish on the Dragonballs.” Trunks continues, looking incredibly pensive. “Giving a tyrant like him immortality will undoubtedly cause incredible suffering in this timeline. If you want to live through this, heed my advice. If you're going to go through with this, don't betray him. You can't fathom the depths of Freeza's power, especially now. In this timeline, he has actually spent time training and furthering his power. Even Super Saiyan Blue Goku was bested by the power he possesses now.”
“Wait, what? A blue Super Saiyan?” you ask him, confused. “What sort of fanfiction garbage is that?”
“It's the state beyond Super Saiyan God.” Trunks says, and his body is immediately consumed by flames! You and everyone else leap back, and as he appears from within his blazing aura you see he's changed. His purple hair is now a bright crimson, eyes red as well as he appears to have greatly slimmed down. Even his gloves don't quite fit right, Trunks grabbing them and pulling them further onto his hands one at a time. “It's a power that rivals even deities.”
“Now hold on. Are you saying that there are mortals who can rival a goddess like me?” Aqua asks, you groaning internally. And for a moment, can't help but visualize Trunks saving you from her by giving her the Mecha Freeza treatment. “I find that hard to believe.”
“Then see for yourself.” Trunks says, holding out his hand towards her.
