First Mission: The Saiyan Raditz.

Eleanor's POV.

Trunks lead me to a large field with two round houses and a large pond. The largest house had a tree ground out of it. And the second, the smallest, was surrounded by different types of gadgets. The place was really beautiful.

"We call this the 'Time Nest'." Trunks identified, snapping me out of my trance, "The Supreme Kai of Time lives here and manages this entire place."

I nodded, "Sounds like a popular person."

"Wait until you officially meet her." Trunks looked me. Then he turned to the large house with the tree, "We also have the 'Time Vault'. It has many important texts."

"It's beautiful." I commented on the house.

"Indeed." Trunks said with a smile. I looked at him, he turned away, lightly blushing, and returned to business, "There's something I need you to take care of, not a big deal. So, let's head over to the Time Vault."

I nodded and followed him into the large house. Inside, the tree's roots looked like they were holding the building together. A large octagonal table, with bench-like chairs, was in the center of the room. Portal-like mirrors and pedastals surrounded the walls.

I stood by the table, as Trunks went over to a pedastal. He picked something showed me; it was a scroll with a dark purple aura around it. Like it was tainted by something.

"This... Is the Scroll of Eternity." Trunks told me, "All of time... All of history." He walked toward the table, "Everything... It's all listed in here." He looked down in concern.

"But...?" I started, noticing the look on his face.

He shook his head, "Here... Just take a look at this."

Trunks opened the scroll and laid it on the table. The scroll showed a visual projection of an event gone wrong.

*Vision*

"Special Beam Cannon!" Piccolo shouted, as he fired his ki attack to a tall, muscular man.

The man had black eyes, like Goku, and very long, black, unruly hair. He wore a green gazer over his left eye, and a black and amber-brown battle armor. The man also had something wrapped around his waist. It was brown and furry. Like a monkey's tail.

He was held back by Goku, in a full-nelson hold. The man smirked, grabbed Goku's wrists and launched himself free.

"What?" Was all Goku could say, before Piccolo's attack hit him square in the chest. Goku fell to the ground, dead.

The man fired a powerful ki blast at Piccolo. Piccolo didn't move and was vaporized by the blast. The man laughed as a shadow-like aura made itself known. As soon he was finished laughing, the man's eyes glowed red for a second.

*Vision End*

I stared at the scroll. That shadow aura is not normal. Goku... Piccolo... Gohan... This is not right.

"As you can see... If history is in any way altered or distorted, it could change the world, as we know it." Trunks informed me, as he rolled up the scroll. Then he gave it to me, "We have no choice. We have to stop it. We can't let history change."

I took the scroll and looked at Trunks. Determined, I nodded in agreement. This change in time can't happen.

"Right now, Goku is in trouble and needs help. Please." Trunks told me.

I held the scroll close and closed my eyes, focusing on the distortion. I felt the scroll respond and take me to the distortion in time.

Age 761.

I opened my eyes and found myself in the field, where Goku and Piccolo were fighting the man. By the look of things, they weren't doing very well. But this was before the distortion. The scroll must've taken me back, because something else might have triggered it. I remained hidden, behind a nearby bush, until the time came.

"This is you're last chance." The man told Goku, as he and Piccolo charged toward him.

Piccolo and Goku attacked the man with a shared fury of punches and kicks. The man only blocked.

"Come on. Join your family, Kakarot." The man said, before he disappeared. He reappeared behind Goku and Piccolo and elbowed them in the back, knocking them forward.

I narrowed my eyes. 'Family'? 'Kakarot'? I guess this man is related to Goku in some sense. Brother, maybe first cousin. They do look alike. Something about the two dark-haired fighters does feel familiar as well. Have I met them before?

"You have good eyes, young one. His name is Raditz. He is Son Goku's older brother."

Raditz, huh? Funny name. Oh, well. To each his own. Raditz threw an ki blast at Goku. Goku tried to block the attack, but it knocked him to the ground. Raditz landed and stomped on Goku's ribcage.

"Look, I'll do you a favour and spare you both." He smirked.

"Shut up! There's no way I'd ever join you!" Goku told his brother.

Raditz's smile fell, "Then playtime is over."

Suddenly, I felt a spike of energy, coming from the crator. Raditz must've noticed, because he looked at the crator as well, "What?"

Out of the crator, Gohan jumped out. He was only a 4-year-old kid, wearing a yellow tunic and green pants. Like Raditz, he too had a tail.

"Leave my Daddy ALONE!" Gohan shouted.

With a release of energy, he charged toward Raditz. The shadow aura appeared and Raditz's eyes glowed red, as he moved aside. Gohan missed and fell to the ground in exhaustion.

Raditz aimed his hand at Gohan, "You brat!"

My eyes widen. I gotta stop this!

"S-Stop!" Goku shouted. Raditz fired a powerful ki blast at Gohan.

Thinking fast, I used my speed and grabbed Gohan before the blast connected. The blast hit the ground, creating a smoke screen. Once the smoke, dust and dirt cleared, the warriors found Gohan missing.

Raditz turned and saw me put Gohan in a safe area. I stood up and looked at Raditz. Ending a child's life out of cruelty. That's just horrible.

Raditz raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Piccolo looked at me, "Someone you know, Goku?"

Goku looked at me, "No... But..." He got back to his feet and chuckled, "I'm pretty sure it's someone we can trust."

Goku, Piccolo and I took an offensive stance, as Raditz folded his arms and smirked at us. The shadow aura appeared again.

Raditz attacked with two seperate ki blasts. Goku, Piccolo and I jumped into the air and started flying. Raditz floated as well. With that, the real fight started.

"No matter how much trash there is. It's still trash!" Raditz shouted, as he fired a ki blast at me. I deflected the blast toward the crator.

Goku looked at me, "Hey... Can I get your help?"

I nodded in agreement. By the looks of his condition, he's gonna need it.

Piccolo scoffed, "Don't be a drag."

Raditz stared at me, "Mother? What are you doing here? I thought you perished with the other Saiyans!"

I narrowed my eyes and punched him hard in the face. Angry, Raditz charged toward me and attacked with a fury of punches and kicks. I blocked and dodged the blows.

"Can you hear me?" I heard Trunks' voice from inside my head.

"Yeah, loud and clear." I replied, kneeing Raditz in the stomach and getting some distance.

"Okay, good. Now, I'll be backing you up from the Time Nest." He answered with a smile in his voice.

Piccolo attacked Raditz and turned his attention to him and Goku. This gave me time to talk to Trunks.

"Sounds good. What can you tell me about this guy?" I asked, "He's tougher than he lets on." Trunks went quiet for a second, "Trunks?"

"Listen... This Raditz.. He's stronger and crueler than his historical form." He answered.

"I kinda figured that out. He almost killed Gohan without reason. What can I do to help?" I asked.

"Please, I need you to defeat Raditz, so Goku and the others can finish him!" Trunks replied.

I nodded, "You can count on me."

With that, the communication went quiet and I returned to the battle. During the fight, Piccolo lost his left arm. Bummer, but he had his two fingers of his other hand over his temples. He looked like he was charging for a powerful attack.

Goku was fighting Raditz, but wasn't doing well. I charged in and helped with keeping Raditz busy. Goku took this advantage and attacked Raditz from behind. He even grabbed his tail. Raditz fell to the ground in agony. He tried to move, but Goku had a good grip.

"K-Kakarot... Are you going to kill you're only brother?!" Raditz asked Goku.

"A horrible, heartless guy like you... is not my brother!" Goku answered.

Raditz tried to get up to his feet, but Goku's grip tightened and he fell to the ground again.

"I-I-I quit! I-I give up. I'll leave this planet quietly, okay?" Raditz offered to Goku.

Goku remained quiet, but he looked like he was struggling against his inner thoughts.

"Don't let him fool you, Goku. He'll never do something like that." Piccolo told Goku.

However, Goku's innocence got the best of him and he let go of Raditz's tail.

Raditz smirked and kicked Goku across the field. I balled my hands into fists of anger. What kind of a guy tricks his own brother?

Raditz chuckled, "3 against 1, and still this? What a pack of losers."

My eyes widen as realization hit me, "You're just toying with us, aren't you? You could kill us here and now, but you're not. What gives, Raditz!?"

Raditz smirked at me, "Clever Earthling." He started laughing, "I'm sorry. How about I tell you something fun before I die? There happen to be two other Saiyans that survived besides me. And their power levels... They're even higher than mine."

Piccolo's eyes widen in shock, "W-What?"

I narrowed my eyes, "And if we don't kill you, they will. Why am I not surprised?"

Raditz charged toward me, but I fired a barrage of ki blasts and knocked him back a bit. Goku snuck up behind Raditz and put him in a full-nelson lock. Just like in the distortion.

Raditz looked at Goku, "What are you doing?!"

"Now! Piccolo! Do it!" Goku shouted to Piccolo.

Like the distortion, Piccolo fired his ki beam, "Special Beam Cannon!"

The beam hit Raditz square in the chest and pierced through Goku aswell. The attack faded the aftershock caused Goku to let go of his brother and fall back.

"D-Damn it!" Raditz shouted while Goku just laughed, as they both fell to the ground, near death.

Piccolo caught his breath and smirked, "Serves you right."

With the distortion fixed, I dashed off and left the field, before Piccolo had a chance to turn. I entered a mountainous field and decided to hide there.

"Trunks, it's done." I answered, opening my communications.

"Well done, Ellie." Trunks replied with a smile in his voice, "Now, you should be able to come back to the Time Nest. It's the same way you got there." He explained to me.

I nodded and closed my eyes. Images of the Time Nest and Trunks entered my mind. I felt something surge through me. I opened my eyes and I was back in the Time Valt. Trunks was standing in front of me.

"Thank you so much." He thanked me, "That was wonderful. I didn't think it was your first time." He smiled, "You corrected the timeline. Good job. And with no side effects, either."

I waved my hand and joked, "Guess I'm a natural."

Trunks chuckled, "Maybe."

We looked at the Scroll of Eternity. The shadow aura disappeared. Trunks looked at me with a thankful smile. He put the scroll back into the vaults and returned to the table.

"Alright. Once we have the Supreme Kai of Time put it in a scroll, it'll all be done." Trunks muttered in thought.

"But, what of Goku? He was killed in battle." I asked.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about him. It's fine. He'll be revived with the Dragon Balls." He assured me.

"The same you summoned me with?" I asked.

"The very." Trunks answered. I sighed in relief. Then Trunks asked, "Uh, Ellie? Why are you all green?"

I tilted my head, "What are you talking about?" I looked at my hands and Trunks was right. My body was in a soft green hue, I was glowing and was transparent. Like a ghost or an astral projection.

"I don't know. Something must've gone wrong." I answered, looking myself over.

"Maybe you're still in the timeline." Trunks suggested, "I'll talk to the Supreme Kai of Time about this. In the meantime, keep yourself hidden."

"I'll try my best to." I told him.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds, opened them again and found myself back in the mountains. I looked at my hands and I wasn't ghost-like anymore.

This is just great! First mission, and I've already missed up. I'm trapped in the year 761, and possibly have no way of getting back to Tokitoki World, except when I'm asleep or in a meditive state. What kind of Time Patroller am I?!

*Deep Breath* I can't stay mad and stressed out. I have to calm down and wait for Trunks to report back to me. And right now, I'm hungry. Let's see if I can find a bite.

(A/N: Oh, no. Ellie can't return to the Time Nest. The best she can do now is hide and try to survive on the mountains. Let's hope Trunks doesn't have any bad news when he calls back. ^_^)
