Two Trunks

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gogito."

Trunks could tell that if it weren't for Gogito, he would never have been resurrected.

"Haha, if you really want to thank me, just treat me to a big feast."

Gogito smiled and teased.

"Let's head back first; I'll cook a big meal for you both," Bulma said, taking Trunks's hand and addressing Gogito.

Under the setting sun, the shadows of the three stretched out long and thin.

After returning to the basement, Bulma began to cook, while Gogito and Trunks chatted at the dining table.

"Mr. Gogito, you must be incredibly powerful to have defeated that monster!"

Trunks recalled the green-skinned monster that had killed him.

"That monster possessed several different types of ki, even Gohan's."

Trunks had assumed it was Cell who had devastated the Earth like this.

"You're talking about Cell. After that guy killed you, he stole your Time Machine and traveled to the past. The one who caused destruction all over the Earth was someone else—a guy even stronger than Cell."

"Cell in his perfect form was only at the Super Saiyan 2 level, and he only reached that by using his Saiyan cells to revive after near-death. When he killed you, he was still in his initial form. Trunks, you're still too weak."

"However, if he had stayed here any longer, he might have been controlled by Babidi or killed by Majin Buu."

Speaking of Cell, Gogito recalled the plot involving him. That guy was actually decent; among so many bosses, only Cell and Kid Buu managed to learn Instant Transmission just by seeing it once. If Cell hadn't died, he probably could have become even stronger.

In this timeline, Trunks had just died when Majin Buu was released, and then Gogito arrived. Therefore, Trunks's physical body was still on Earth, and his soul had not yet reached Heaven.

"Super Saiyan 2? Is that a Super Saiyan?"

Trunks was a bit confused; he only knew about Super Saiyan. What was Super Saiyan 2?

"You can think of it as a further transformation of the Super Saiyan. I'll be staying here for a while to guide you."

Gogito prepared to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber once more. His mission here was complete, and the rewards were in hand. He wanted to go inside to familiarize himself with god ki and see if he could achieve the Super Saiyan God or Super Saiyan Blue forms.

"Then I'll leave Trunks to you, Gogito."

Bulma had been listening to their conversation from the side. Hearing that Gogito would be training Trunks, she was naturally very pleased. The stronger Trunks became, the less likely he was to die.

After a hearty meal, Gogito took Trunks to Kami's Lookout.

However, when Gogito arrived at the lookout, it had already been destroyed beyond recognition; the interior was in ruins.

There was no help for it; he couldn't give Trunks a shortcut, so they would just have to train outside.

A few days passed just like that.

On this day, as usual, Gogito created a clone to guide Trunks while his main body researched god ki. After several days of study, Gogito was already able to use god ki preliminarily. It was similar to the situation when Goku was beaten back to his base form during his battle with Beerus and then transformed into a Super Saiyan again; his body had adapted to the god ki. The next step was to transform into Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue.

Just as the two were busy training, a Time Machine suddenly appeared near the basement.

In an instant, Gogito opened his eyes, and both Trunks and Gogito's clone stopped fighting. They had both sensed it—a ki identical to Trunks's.

"This ki? It's exactly the same as mine?"

Trunks was a bit surprised, but he instantly guessed that a version of himself from another timeline had used a Time Machine to arrive in his own. But why would his other self come here?

Filled with doubt, Trunks went to investigate, and Gogito followed. Gogito had a rough idea of where this Trunks had come from.

Before long, the two returned to the basement. Bulma was chatting and laughing with the other Trunks and Mai. Seeing them return, Bulma excitedly called out to them:

"Trunks, Gogito, you're back!"

Bulma was exceptionally happy at this moment. Not only had her son been resurrected, but now another son had arrived, and he even brought a wife. It seemed that before long, she would be a grandmother!

The two who had arrived from the future saw the returning Trunks and Gogito. Future Trunks (hereafter referred to as Future Trunks, as he was older than the Trunks here) widened his eyes the moment he saw Gogito!

"Vegito??"

Future Trunks couldn't believe it. He was seeing that face, written with invincibility, here again. He was actually seeing the invincible Vegito here. How could it be possible? Could it be that the Goku and his father from this timeline hadn't died? That was impossible! And he had clearly set the time to before Babidi and Dabura arrived on Earth. But he had just heard his mother say that someone had already wiped out Majin Buu and Babidi. Where had things gone wrong? Damn it, his head was starting to hurt!

By now, Gogito was certain that this was the Future Trunks who had returned to the past after the Zamasu arc. However, Gogito was also puzzled. Weren't they supposed to return to the past and create a new timeline? How did they end up here?

Gogito asked the system internally, as he couldn't travel through time himself; every time he did, he relied on the system's power to open a space-time channel.

"Ding. Answering the host: Because the residual energy from when the host traveled to this timeline had not yet dissipated, it attracted the Time Machine that was currently in the middle of a space-time jump."

"So that's how it is."

Gogito nodded to himself.

"It's Gogito, not Vegito, Trunks."

Bulma reminded Future Trunks, and Trunks also explained:

"Mr. Gogito also came from a parallel timeline. He is Mom's brother-in-law, our uncle."

"Not Vegito? But..."

Future Trunks still found it hard to believe. Gogito and Vegito shared the same face, and their presence was identical—a kind of aura that couldn't be faked.

"I don't know why I look exactly like Vegito either; it's hard to explain."

Gogito felt a bit troubled. It was fine when he met people who didn't know Vegito, but whenever he ran into someone who had seen him, he never knew how to explain it.

"You know about Vegito too?"

Future Trunks was shocked once again. Vegito wasn't the kind of person who could just appear anywhere!

"Of course, the fusion of Son Goku and Vegeta, right?"

"I've seen him in other timelines."

Gogito told a little white lie, but since they had no way of knowing, he could say whatever he wanted.

"Lord Beerus said that traveling through time is a grave sin."

Future Trunks warned Gogito about the terrifying consequences of time travel.

"Don't worry, Trunks. I won't cause any new timelines to be born, so rest easy."

As if. As a Transmigrator equipped with a system, what was a little time travel? The system was there to clean up his messes. If any real problems arose, they could go argue with the system themselves.
