...
"Gran, you're finally going to help me deal with Mechikabura."
"Enough talking. Hurry up and take me to his place of imprisonment. The sooner we kill him, the sooner I can get back."
"Hehe, I'll take you there right away. Just follow me."
Inside a temporal tunnel, two figures sped through the endless flow of time and space.
They were none other than Gran and Chronoa.
After traveling for a while, Gran began to feel that something was wrong with their route. He looked at Chronoa suspiciously.
"Didn't you say you were taking me to Mechikabura's place of imprisonment? Why do I feel like we're heading toward the Time Realm?"
"You're not mistaken. We're going back to the Time Realm first."
"Why?"
"I need to retrieve something."
"..."
Although Gran was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. He simply followed closely behind Chronoa.
Before long, the two returned to the Time Realm.
The Time Realm still looked exactly as it had before. The environment of the small town was exceptionally pleasant.
As soon as Chronoa landed, she immediately ran toward the Archive Vault.
Gran walked behind her with his hands behind his back, leisurely following along.
As he walked, he observed the Time Realm.
Yet once again, he didn't see any other Time Patrol members around.
No wonder Chronoa always says that temporal disturbances don't happen very often.
After walking for a while, Gran and Chronoa arrived in front of the Archive Vault.
"Come inside."
Chronoa led Gran up the stairs and through the entrance, bringing him into the Archive Vault.
Gran had returned here once again.
The first time he came here, Chronoa had retrieved a Time Ring from this place and given it to him.
"Huh? The Supreme Kai of Time isn't here again!"
Chronoa looked around the room, her expression slightly disappointed.
"What exactly are you here to retrieve?"
Gran was somewhat curious about the mysterious Supreme Kai of Time. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to meet them the previous two times either, so he wasn't holding out much hope.
"A Time Scroll. I can only locate Mechikabura if I obtain the Time Scroll containing the record of his seal."
"Wait!"
Gran looked at the little girl beside him in confusion.
"Wasn't Mechikabura sealed by you? How do you not know where you sealed him?"
Chronoa looked at Gran as if he were an idiot.
"He was indeed sealed by me, but I sealed him inside a temporal rift. There are countless temporal rifts throughout this world. If I didn't record his location in a Time Scroll, how would I remember exactly where he was sealed?"
"...."
Gran had also cultivated temporal powers, so he knew very well that countless temporal rifts existed throughout the world.
He really couldn't argue with her.
Ignoring Gran, Chronoa ran over to a wall and lightly tapped it several times with her finger.
"Click!"
A stone compartment embedded in the wall opened, revealing a deep, seemingly bottomless space.
A moment later, a Time Scroll shot out from within.
Chronoa caught it.
Gran curiously leaned closer. The instant Chronoa opened the scroll, he saw a temporal coordinate recorded on it.
"Found it! Let's go!"
Chronoa rolled up the scroll and put it away. Then she gently swiped her little hand across the space in front of her.
A temporal rift appeared.
Chronoa jumped inside.
Without hesitation, Gran followed her in.
The moment they left, a translucent figure slowly materialized inside the Archive Vault.
"These two little brats really have too much free time."
The Supreme Kai of Time shook their head slightly before their figure once again faded into transparency.
Inside the temporal rift.
The place resembled an endless cosmic starfield.
However, unlike the pitch-black expanse of outer space, the inside of the temporal rift was completely silver-white. From time to time, numerous temporal vortexes could be seen swirling throughout the void.
When Gran killed Quitela back then, he had been sucked into one of these temporal vortexes.
Chronoa continued traveling through the temporal rift, with Gran following closely behind her.
But after following her for a while, Gran once again realized that something seemed wrong with their route.
According to the temporal coordinates recorded by Chronoa, Mechikabura should have been sealed somewhere to the east.
Yet Chronoa was heading west the entire time.
"Chronoa, did you take a wrong turn?" Gran asked.
"I didn't."
"But shouldn't Mechikabura be sealed somewhere to the east?"
"He is. But we're not in a hurry to go to Mechikabura's place of imprisonment."
"What do you mean?"
Gran stopped and frowned.
Chronoa stopped as well. She looked at him somewhat sheepishly.
"Well... before dealing with Mechikabura, I want you to help me take care of another problem."
It wasn't easy getting Gran to help her, so naturally, she wanted to make the most of this opportunity.
"You..."
Gran understood exactly what Chronoa was doing. He couldn't help but find the situation both amusing and exasperating.
Chronoa stuck out her little tongue.
"Now that you've become a Time Patrol member, and I was the one who taught you how to comprehend temporal powers back then, what's wrong with helping me a little more?"
"Fine."
Gran sighed.
Since he'd already come all this way, helping this little girl with one more problem wouldn't hurt.
"Tell me. What do you need me to do?"
"Mechikabura actually has quite a few subordinates. They've always been trying to rescue him."
Chronoa puffed up her cheeks angrily.
"Those guys are way too cunning. I've never been able to catch them."
Gran already had a pretty good idea who she was talking about.
If nothing else, she was probably referring to Demigra, Putine, Gravy, Towa, and the others.
"Actually, most of the temporal disturbances we have to deal with are caused by those guys. If we could get rid of them, things would become much easier for everyone in the Time Realm."
Chronoa looked at Gran pitifully.
"They're just too cunning."
"Stop, stop, stop. I already said I'd help you. Where are they?"
"They're constantly traveling between different timelines, so I can't pinpoint their exact whereabouts. But I do know that their base is in the Demon Realm of Darkness."
"The Demon Realm of Darkness?"
Gran froze again.
The Demon Realm of Darkness was supposedly created by Mechikabura. After his disappearance, that place had even fallen so far that the trash known as Dabura had become its Demon King.
(PS: The Dragon Ball DAIMA storyline will not be introduced.)
"That's right. Their base is in the Demon Realm of Darkness."
"Then lead the way."
"Hehe! I knew you were the best, Gran!"
Chronoa put both hands on her hips and giggled.
She looked so silly that Gran couldn't help but roll his eyes.
In the end, Gran followed the little girl as they continued heading west.
