"No problem. We will inform you when we approach Earth." The Martian replied before he left, leaving Atama in peace as it went back to do its own duty of continuing repairs and everything, while the Warp engines were now completely recalibrated and ready to be used, allowing the Tenochi-01 to finally travel under its own power, even though its current escorts force would remain with it to keep up with the additional repair crew and in general keep an eye on the ship, just in case.
 
Atama was left in peace for the next days, with only a nearby replicator reacting to whenever he wished a refill of his glass of water as well as whatever food he ate in order to keep him properly sustained.

Future Xenest and Future Brachi both retreated back in their room as well, simply to contact their own family and friends in their universe through the clones they left behind there and informing them of what has happened. Fortunately for the two, everything in their time was still peaceful, with the entire group being accustomed to their new life on Lunei, with their children growing up in peace.
 
It was only several days to perhaps a few weeks later that the group finally arrived within the main Solar System which were home to Earth and Mars, with Future Brachi having recovered enough to Instant Transmit to Mars to collect the Earth's Dragon Balls which the group had stored in the Martian Time Chamber for safe-keeping reasons, before the group entered Earth's Orbit and were peacefully beamed down in the grassy field, close to Brachi's house, with everything being just as peaceful as it was before the group had left...
 
"I know the feeling..." Future Xenest said as Future Brachi went to work.

"ARISE, SHENRON!" Future Brachi shouted.

For a moment, nothing happened, until the sky grew dark and the Dragon Balls began to glow, emitting a humming sound, before in its iconic lightning style, Shenron burst forth from the Dragon Balls, appearing as if he had been completely refreshed.

"YOU WHO HAVE SUMMONED ME, I WILL GRANT YOU THREE WISHES!" Shenron said.

"Shenron, our first wish is to restore the damage done from a fierce fight against the Planet Trade Organization in this universe, which resulted in the planets Deliani and Savara laid in ruins and the planet Gyges being destroyed." Future Brachi said.

"I CAN GRANT THIS WISH, BUT IT WILL COST THE POWER OF TWO DUE TO REVIVING THE POPULATION LOST." Shenron said.

"We understand, Shenron, we accept the cost." Future Brachi said.

"VERY WELL THEN..." Shenron said as his eyes began to glow.

It took several seconds to about a minute, before Shenron spoke again.

"IT IS DONE! THE THREE PLANETS YOU MENTIONED AND THE POPULATION WHOM SUFFERED HAVE BEEN RESTORED." He said.

The group was at first hopeful, but then...

"Hey… did you guys manage to find Brachi's energy signal? Or those of her family and friends" Tien Shinhan asked the group.

Future Xenest shook his head, as did Future Brachi... Yamcha... Uub and Hercule. This caused Future Brachi's heart to skip a beat in agitation, before she turned to Shenron with.

"Hey Shenron! Are you sure you wished everyone killed the Planet Trade Soldiers and the destruction of Gyges back to life?" She asked.

The dragon drifted in closer, a growl escaping his throat.
"YES!" the dragon said, "I never leave a possible wish unfulfilled or incomplete! What is it you have a problem with?"

Future Brachi blinked, becoming more anxious then ever. She stepped forward, tightening her hands into nervous fists.

"Well…you see, we wished everyone killed by all those we have listed, and that should include Brachi and her friends, shouldn't it? Why can't we sense them if you wished them back to life?" the multi-fusion girl asked.

Shenron glowered at him, eyes flashing. Everyone knew something was up, but they couldn't explain what the problem was.

"I… could not bring those souls back to life because…" Shenron began, but he was hesitant. His connection with the world around him allowed his senses to hone itself on everything he was involved with. This included all the people he has brought back to life in his wishes. To add up to this, he would know everything about the people that he could not bring back to life, what with his connection with the Otherworld through universal telepathy toned senses. The Z-fighters however didn't, yet they waited for the dragon's reasons.
 
Maki and Oralie watched from their ship, awaiting any news regarding their lost allies.
 
"Because of what? Why couldn't you bring them back to life?" Future Brachi shouted, her friends gathering behind her and coming in closer. The dragon scowled, eyes flaring almost dangerously but mostly because he was growing with stress. In that instant, he broke it to them clear and simple.

"I couldn't bring them back to life because they are not walking through this world anymore!"

Everyone was silenced. All questions and impatience had completely disappeared at this news flash.

"Wait what?! Are you saying that they're not in this universe anymore?!" Future Xenest asked.

"THAT IS CORRECT." Shenron said.

"But where are they then?" Tien Shinhan asked.

"THEY ARE IN A UNIVERSE SEPARATE FROM THIS ONE. I HAVE DETECTED THEIR SPIRITS THERE, BUT I AM UNABLE TO FULLY TELL WHETHER THEY ARE DEAD OR ALIVE, NOR AM I ABLE TO BRING THEM BACK HERE!" Shenron said.

"Why not?" Hercule then asked, speaking up for once.

"IT IS NOT WITHIN MY POWER TO CROSS DIMENSIONAL BORDERS, OR THE FABRIC OF SPACE-TIME FOR THAT MATTER!" Shenron replied.

"Fabric of space-time?" Hercule asked.

"But I know of no place which can be accessed... wait a second... are you kidding me?! This can't be for real, IT CAN'T BE!!!" Future Brachi then said, her expression changing into that of absolute horror.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Future Xenest asked.

"You bet... Shenron, do you know the kind of place they're in?!" She asked.

"YES! THE UNIVERSE THE ONES YOU SEEK ARE IN IS KNOWN AS THE ANOMALY!" Shenron said.

That bit of information froze Future Brachi and Future Xenest on the spot... Brachi's group had been somehow transported through space-time and pretty much dumped in that one universe where the vicious Metar and Hubrin races dwelled, even though the Z-Fighters were on somewhat good terms with the Hubrin for their efforts to help them to send the Metar back to the void from which they came....
 
"It isn't. The Anomaly is an anomalous pocket of sealed space with several star systems inhabited by ancient races known as the Hubrin and Metar. The Metar are incredibly xenophobic and hostile as they attacked us without provocation when we encountered them decades ago, while we're on more 'friendlier' terms with the Hubrin as we worked with them to send the Metar Worlds back to the void." Future Xenest replied.
 
Future Atama nodded, his eyes to the ground as he worded things out to himself.

"So our only option is to go and bring your allies from there. Depending on how strong these Metar are, this could be worse then anything I have faced before."
 
"I wonder what's taking them so long..." Maki wondered to herself as she yawned. Likewise, Oralie also yawned.
 
"We currently have no need for that last wish, Shenron. We'd like to save it for later. You can return to your slumber." Future Brachi said.

"VERY WELL THEN, I BID YOU FAREWELL." Shenron said, before he left, and the Dragon Balls scattered over the Earth once more.

"So, where do we start?" Future Xenest asked.

"There has been the massive power surge in Gyges which caused the disappearance of our counterparts and their family and friends, so we need to find out what caused them to vanish and see if we can locate or recreate whatever the surge caused them to vanish without killing anyone innocent in the process." Future Brachi said.

Future Xenest nodded at this.

"So, who do we fight then?" Tien Shinhan asked.

"I've let the Martians run a scan of the planets during our incursions on them to repel the rampaging Planet Trade Soldiers." Future Brachi said, just as a Martian Flying Machine unit approached the group, lowering to the ground. Future Xenest went to them, feeling he should act as the representative due to Tempest, Xeno and Sheila respectively being unavailable.
 
"No offense to you, but there are currently more important matters to deal with. I will give you this: Porunga is stronger than Shenron is, so perhaps he may help you out." Dende offered.

"Any news?" The lead Martian of the unit asked.

"It appears our friends whom vanished during the disaster on Gyges have actually vanished from this universe and, according to Shenron, have landed inside the Anomaly." Future Xenest said.

"The Anomaly? As in the universe home to the Hubrin and the Metar?" The Martian asked.

"The one and only. We do not know how they ended up there, I suspect it could have something to do with the massive power surge which built up in Gyges before, but I can't determine what could have let the group fall into that area of space, other than the explosion being powerful enough to create a fissure in the fabric of space-time or something. Perhaps one of the planets we liberated from the Planet Trade Soldiers earlier can help us determine what could have happened." Future Xenest replied.

"Agreed. Our first possible destination to find those answers would be on the planet known as Deliani, home to the Council of a faction known as the Gencore Tech Alliance." The Martian said.
 
"Dead men need no sympathy, dead kings need no pity." Atama replied, his head jerking towards Dende. "We should get to searching for those missing. I know what it's like to died violently and end up in another world."
