==Synopsis==
In [[Age 851]], the [[Kaiōshin of Time]] and [[Trunks]] are expanding the [[Time Patrol]] to deal with the ever-increasing threat of time manipulation, and many new recruits have taken up the cause. One new recruit in particular notices a disturbance in the distance, and upon investigating, is subsequently sucked into a time rift where he finds [[Son Goku]] battling not just [[Freeza]] on [[Planet Namek]], but somehow also [[Coola]]. Goku apologizes to this mysterious person, but says he will give it his all, so he should escape while he still can. As Goku begins to power up a [[Kamehameha]], a veteran Time Patroller appears on the scene, asks for Goku to allow him to help, and cheers on the new recruit. The three fire a combined Kamehameha, completely disintegrating their foes.

With the Kaiōshin of Time renewing [[Toki Toki City]] into [[Conton City]], the new Time Patrol recruits continue to fight to protect time manipulation and everyone's memories.
