The Time Machine had brought Future Trunks and Future Mai back to Kid Gohan's past, landing the three back to where Kid Gohan had first gone on the machine.

It's been a odd several days for Kid Gohan. Having accidentally traveled into the future when Goten and Kid Trunks of the other timeline had played with the time machine. They wanted to see the first arrival of the Androids, but when Future Trunks caught them and made them return, Gohan had accidentally traveled back with them.

Kid Gohan spent over a week in a timeline 13 years into the future he was currently in. There he saw just how strong his father Goku was, as well as who is currently an uneasy ally Vegeta, both of them having reached Super Saiyan God level, a level Gohan didn't even know existed yet. He didn't even know there was a level beyond regular Super Saiyan.

There he also spent time with a younger Trunks as well as what would eventually be his little brother Goten. It was nice being around kids his age, he got along well with them. He his brother to be really nice, making him eager for the Goten of his timeline to be born. Kid Trunks was nice to be around, he felt there could have been a good friendship between the two.

He also met the God of Destruction Beerus and his attendant Whis. He didn't care much for Beerus, or his brother Champa, the God of Destruction of another Universe. Whis and his sister Vados, the attendant of Champa, they were pretty nice at least.

He even learned of extra Universes outside of his own, a total of 12 in fact. He discovered that he lived in Universe 7, and he got to see fighters from Universe 6, those being Botamo, Magetta and another Saiyan named Cabba. They seemed pretty nice, especially Cabba. It was a bit strange to see a friendly Saiyan, other than his dad, but a good relief. Cabba also seems like he'd be a great friend to have.

He also met his would be wife Videl, and what would be his daughter Pan. He loved being around Videl, especially knowing that he would marry a beautiful girl like that. He also found out she's pretty strong too, not the level her dad and friends are at, but still strong nonetheless. Pan was also so adorable, he's glad to know that he'll have such a cute little daughter like that, he's determined to make sure that happens too, when he feels he's ready.

But there was one that he met that really affected his views on the future. That was his future self. In the future Gohan did become a Great Scholar, he became such a great success and he's glad to know that his hard work in that aspect paid off. However he also saw that his future self became pretty weak, having slacked off on his training in favor of his studies. That worried Gohan, he wanted to be a Scholar, but he didn't want to just stop training, he worked hard on that as well.

Kid Gohan decided he would do both, be a Great Scholar and train to get stronger. He's already gotten much stronger due to his trip to the future, having reached Super Saiyan Level. He's even gotten to Super Saiyan 2, though that transformation he hasn't mastered yet, and can drain his stamina very quickly. He still needs to train in that form, and once he masters that, he'll try for Super Saiyan 3, though from what he's been told, it's much harder on the body. Unfortunately that's as far as he can go since he hasn't met the Beerus or Whis of his timeline, so he can't go Super Saiyan God, especially since he doesn't know five other Saiyans that can help.

One day he'll figure it out, but for now, he'll just train and master what he already has. If Future Trunks can be strong in just his Super Saiyan 2, especially with the Rage form, perhaps Gohan can try something like that as well.

Gohan left the time machine, looking around and checking out the area. "So far everything looks the same."

Trunks also left the machine, "Yeah, nothing too out of the ordinary, at least from what I'm guessing."

Mai checked around the area, "No one else seems to be here, probably a good thing."

Trunks nodded and turned to Gohan, "Alright, I'm sure you can handle things from here, will you be alright though?"

"Yeah, I should be, you two can get back to your own future, I'm gonna look for my family, they're probably worried," Gohan said.

"Right, oh and remember, chances are there might be some changes in this timeline, it might not go like the one Goku and the others described to you, or like the one I'm from," Trunks warned.

"Right, I'll keep that in mind. I do know to watch out for the Androids, notably Seventeen and Eighteen, and keep an eye out for Cell," Gohan said.

"Exactly, and remember to be prepared for Majin Buu," Trunks said.

"Yeah, hopefully we can also prevent the return of Frieza, and also prevent that problem with Goku Black and Zamasu," Gohan said.

"Looks like you have everything under control, I'm gonna go to my future, but I might come back another time to make sure everything's alright," Trunks said.

"Everything should be fine, I am much stronger than I was supposed to be in this timeline, and I promise not to make the same mistakes everyone else did," Gohan said.

"Alright then," Trunks said and flew back into the machine, setting for it to go further into the future. "Bye Gohan, good luck!"

"See you soon! I mean this you! I'm sure the other you will appear!" Gohan said.

Trunks thought about that a moment, "I just realized, this might have created even more timelines than just this one...I really hope this doesn't get too weird."

Mai shrugged, "What's the worse than can happen though?"

"Knowing our luck, a lot of things," Trunks lamented.

As the Time Machine disappeared back into the future, Gohan looked across the distance, trying to feel out the ki of his friends and family. "Well I can sense Yamcha...there's Krillin...I think I also feel Tien and Chiaotzu...no sign of Vegeta, not surprising, he's probably still in space. I can sense Piccolo but where's my dad?" Gohan closed his eyes as he focused more hoping to find Goku's ki. "I think that's him...wait why is his power dropping?" Gohan's eyes widened. "Oh no, don't tell me-"

Suddenly he heard a large explosion nearby. "What was that!?" He flew up and looked in the direction of the explosion, "Wait, I think I know that area, it's not too far from South City." Gohan then realized something important. "South City, isn't that where...oh no, don't tell me."

Elsewhere the other Z Fighters heard the explosion. Krillin had been training near a rocky area when he heard the explosion.

"What was that? Could it be...but I thought we still had a couple more weeks!" Krillin said from his location towards the city.

Tien and Chiaotzu were training in the fields when they heard it.

"What was that? Don't tell me they're here! Not now! It's too soon!" Tien said.

"It's just like when the Saiyans arrived earlier than we expected," Chiaotzu said.

Tien flew up, "Chiaotzu go to Master Roshi's home, I don't want you battling these androids!"

"But Tien!" Chiaotzu argued.

"We've already been over this before, just get to Roshi's, I'll take care of the Androids!" Tien said and flew off.

Chiaotzu reluctantly nodded as he flew to Kame House.

Yamcha had been training near the beach when he and Puar heard the explosion happen.

"Oh man, that doesn't sound good." He turned his attention to the floating cat, "Puar, get to someplace safe, I'm gonna go check that explosion out!"

Puar nodded, "Ok, please be careful out there Yamcha."

Yamcha nodded as he flew over to the location.

Piccolo had been meditating by the waterfall when he heard the explosion. "No, it can't be, we still have about three weeks, they can't be early!" He started to fly over, ready for a fight. "The kid probably got his data wrong or something, should have expected that considering his age when this happened in his future."

Each of the Z-Fighters were on their way to the small island 9 miles from South City. Gohan also flew towards that direction, already lamenting the changes to this timeline.

"I really hope this was worth me going to the future and messing up this timeline," Gohan said, flying towards the city at a moderate speed. He didn't wanna use up a chunk of energy just yet.

Moments after at the cliff right near the city, Tien had landed not too far off with Krillin arriving shortly afterwards.

"Tien, you're here, I guess you heard that explosion as well," Krillin said, approaching Tien while glancing towards the city.

"Yeah, I did. What's going on though, I thought we still had time before the androids showed up?" Tien wondered.

"I'm not sure either, but if they really are here, we gotta stop them, otherwise that future the kid warned us about is gonna happen to us," Krillin said.

"Right, better hurry, hopefully the others get here soon as well," Tien said.

Moments later Yamcha arrived, landing behind the two, "Oh you're both here as well, you think the androids are attacking early?"

"Looks like it. It's weird though, I can't sense their energy," Tien said.

"Me neither, unless they're hiding it or something," Krillin said.

"How? It's hard to hide your energy when you're attacking!" Tien said.

"Maybe they don't give off power, they are robots, maybe they don't have energy to give off," Yamcha said.

"If that's true then this is gonna be harder than I thought," Krillin said.

"We won't know how strong those things are compared to us, and with Goku being sick, this could hurt our chances," Tien said.

"Doesn't help that Gohan's missing, no one's seen him all week, it's like he just vanished," Krillin said.

Yamcha started to become a little worried, "Wait, you don't think the Androids arrived even earlier than this and got to him, do you?"

"Let's not think like that, hopefully there's another reason," Tien said.

Suddenly Piccolo landed near them, "You all heard it too."

"Yeah, we can't sense their energy either, we're gonna have to go in and look for them on our own," Krillin said, still watching over the city.

"Right, enough standing around wasting time, let's move," Tien said.

"Wait, where's Chiaotzu?" Krillin asked.

"I asked him to stay behind, I don't think he's ready to face them, I'd rather he didn't get hurt," Tien said.

"I see, I can understand that," Krillin said.

"Alright, move in!" Piccolo said as they flew into the city.

Meanwhile Gohan was also flying towards the city. He considered just using instant transmission to meet with one of them, but he didn't wanna take the chance of startling them possibly in the middle of a fight. Knowing that the Androids don't give off ki, he could accidentally distract them or get caught in an attack. He continued flying over to the city to find the Androids. Fortunately he was a little bit closer than the others, so he could get there sooner.

He arrived above the city, looking down at some of the destruction, "These androids...already causing trouble..." He scanned for the ki of his friends, "Looks like they're all here, except Chiaotzu, though that makes sense, I think Trunks said he was the only one who wasn't there when the Androids attacked in the timeline I went to. Question is, is it the Androids Trunks originally warned about? Or the other androids that took everyone by surprise?" Gohan began to worry a bit, "What if it's totally new androids that are much stronger?" Gohan shook his head a little, "No, can't think like that. I've gotten stronger too, after training with dad and Vegeta in Super Saiyan Blue, I think I can handle some regular Super Saiyan strength androids."

Gohan flew down into the city, looking around for the androids and his friends.

Back in the main timeline, Goku and Chi Chi had already returned home after seeing Gohan off. Goku wanted to go train on his farm, but Chi Chi looked pretty worried about something. She was worried about the younger Gohan, knowing that he had to go into a past that she knew was dangerous.

She also worried for anything that might have changed in that timeline, fearing it would be too much for him to handle. Even if he's not the Gohan of her timeline, he's still a version of her son. She can't stand the idea of any version of Gohan getting hurt, especially after hearing about the Gohan of Trunks's future.

Goku noticed that Chi Chi had been looking to the sky for a bit, feeling curious he approached her with his usually cheery attitude. "Yo Chi Chi, any reason you're just standing here?"

"I'm worried about Gohan, the little one, do you think he's gonna be alright in his timeline?" Chi Chi asked.

"Of course, the enemies there were strong for that time, but Gohan's much stronger than he was supposed to be, he'll handle those androids with no problem," Goku reassured.

"I hope so," Chi Chi said, still looking up. "Gohan...try to make it. I hope you come back and tell us how you won."

Goku scratched his head a little, then shrugged it off. He was very confident that Gohan would win, so he didn't feel the need to worry. Gohan's not only strong, he's a smart kid too, he'll win and be just fine.

Back in the other timeline, the Z Fighters continued searching the city, desperate to find the androids.

Yamcha looked around, looking around Androids, but instead finding only damage.

"Damn machines, the sooner we stop them the better," Yamcha said as he continued to run around the city.

As he ran he saw some destroyed buildings, causing him to feel even more enraged. He turned and saw several people running as he tried to call out to them.

"Hey! Did any of you see what happened here!?" Unfortunately no one heard him. "Hey! I could use some assistance with this!" No use, the people kept running away from the danger, no one stopped to address Yamcha. "Looks like I won't have much help."

He turned around and saw a couple of what he thought was civilians. One was an elderly looking man and the other was a shorter but more round man. "Hey did you two happen to see what caused all this?"

The two men approached him, looking very curiously at Yamcha. The scarred fighter wasn't sure what to make of this, but something about these guys just seemed weird.

"Are...are you two alright?" Yamcha asked. He seemed a little freaked out when he saw what looked like their eyes blinking lights, he also swears he could hear scanning noises. "Seriously, what's going on with you two?"

The older man spoke, "You're about to find out, Yamcha."

"How did you know my..." Yamcha then realized something, between their answer, odd behavior, the blinking light in their eyes and the insignia on one of their hats. "Wait a minute, you two are the-"

Before he could finish, the older man had grabbed him by his face and lifted him up, draining his energy from him. Yamcha couldn't yell, and his strength was starting to fade. How could he have not noticed sooner these were the Androids? Did he let their appearance fool him, he really wasn't expecting an old man and a round guy.

He had started to muster the strength to fight, hoping to break free and at least warn the others, but the older man wouldn't allow it.

"This should stop your struggling," the older man said. He lifted his arm up, preparing to deliver an attack to get Yamcha to stop resisting. He readied to strike when he was suddenly punched to the wall of a building, letting Yamcha go.

Yamcha fell to the ground and started catching his breath. Some of his energy had been taken but he was still fine, he had enough to still fight. "Boy am I glad someone came to-" As Yamcha was talking, he was turning his head toward the one who helped him, but was very surprised at who it was. "No way...Gohan?"

Floating right beside him was the young half-Saiyan Gohan, who held his hand out, offering a friendly smile, "Good to see you again Mr. Yamcha."

Yamcha grabbed Gohan's hand as the young Saiyan pulled the older fighter up. "Gohan, you're alright!"

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" Gohan asked with a somewhat confident grin.

Yamcha looked very surprised though, he didn't expect to see Gohan show up out of nowhere. "But...how! I mean, you were gone this whole week! We looked everywhere for you but we couldn't even pick of a trace of your energy!"

"It's a long story, but I'm back now, and I'm going to help you stop these androids!" Gohan said, glaring at the two beside him.

The older man spoke, "So, you know that we are androids, I beg to wonder how though?"

"We have our ways of knowing, though to be fair, we didn't expect you to show up for another three weeks, I guess you just couldn't wait to get beaten by us!" Gohan said, almost arrogantly.

"Whoa, when did Gohan get so confident?" Yamcha asked in surprise.

"Well it seems like this attack wasn't the surprise attack we thought it would be, nonetheless, you will not stop our plans for World Domination," the man turned to the other beside him. "Nineteen, destroy them."

"Yes Number Twenty," Nineteen said and got into a fighting position.

Yamcha and Gohan each got into position as well, Gohan knowing full well what to do and what not to do.

"So Gohan, think we have a chance at this?" Yamcha asked.

"Yeah, I don't know how strong he might be though, but word of advice, don't fire an energy blast at it," Gohan said.

Yamcha looked confused, "Huh? Why not?"

"Because they have something in their hands that allow them to absorb energy, if you fire a blast, it's gonna absorb it and make itself stronger. I'm sure you've noticed but if they touch you, then you'll lose your power," Gohan warned.

"Yeah, don't want that to happen again," Yamcha said.

"Exactly, also don't exert yourself too much, these guys aren't the end," Gohan said.

That grabbed Yamcha's attention, "Huh? What do you mean they're not the-"

Suddenly Nineteen leapt at them, trying to grab Gohan, but the young Saiyan was able to grab his wrist before anything, being careful not to let the android absorb his power.

"Whoa! Gohan!" Yamcha shouted, attempting to punch the android, but this time Yamcha's wrist was grabbed, the android attempting to drain Yamcha's power.

Gohan wasn't gonna allow Yamcha's energy to be drained again, so he grabbed Nineteen's other wrist with his free hand and then tossed the android to the side of a building, causing some people from inside to run away from the fight.

"Whoa, there's people around, I gotta be careful not to hurt anyone by mistake," Gohan said.

"Nineteen! Get up!" Twenty shouted.

Nineteen started to stand up from the rubble, glaring at the two Z Fighters. "I will defeat you!" Nineteen flew over to attack, throwing some punches at Gohan, though the young fighter was able to dodge them with little trouble.

Gohan then got a punch to Nineteen's stomach and then did an uppercut to knock him back and then did a kick to the side of it's head.. Yamcha then rushed over to do a strong punch to the Android, then a kick to his gut. When Nineteen tried to attack, Yamcha leapt back a little.

"Energy attacks won't work, but this move will do just nicely," Yamcha got into a familiar stance, one he hasn't used very often. "Wolf Fang Fist!"

Suddenly Yamcha threw several quick strikes to the Android and finished with a double strike to his stomach, sending the Android even further back.

"Great work Yamcha!" Gohan said, looking very impressed.

"Same to you little man," Yamcha said, doing a thumbs up.

"Nineteen! Grab the boy and steal his power!" Twenty ordered.

Nineteen glared at Gohan and rushed to him, attempting to grab him, though Gohan grabbed both wrists and pressed his feet against Nineteen's face. He then started to pull hard enough until the android's arms came off, knocking the machine back again.

"Whoa..." Yamcha said. "Nice move kid!"

Gohan tossed the two arms aside as he glared at Nineteen. The Android was looking on in fear at the young Saiyan, he possessed such power that his data could not register. From what Gohan was told, Vegeta had destroyed Android 19 after removing it's arms, though seeing the machine in a state of fear and panic, Gohan started to feel some sympathy. The way Gohan saw it, the machine was effectively harmless, so there was no sense in destroying it.

"Leave, now," Gohan warned Nineteen.

The android quickly scurried away, running as far away as he could.

"Coward! Get back here!" Twenty shouted, though Nineteen refused to obey. "If you choose not to obey me," Twenty held his arm up. "Then you're worthless!"

Gohan noticed what the older android was about to do. "Wait! Don't!"

Before Gohan could react, Twenty had fired a ki blast at Nineteen, destroying the robot immediately.

Gohan clenched his fist in anger at the old Android, "What was that about!? You created that Android didn't you!? Why destroy your own creation like that!?"

Yamcha looked confused, "Gohan, what are you talking about? This android created that one?"

Twenty looked on in surprise, "You knew I created Nineteen?"

"Yes, just like every other Android, including the two real androids we all have to worry about, Numbers 17 and 18," Gohan said.

Twenty's eyes widened in shock, "Who are you!?"

Gohan grinned a little, "Just a boy who knows about time travel, Doctor Gero."

Yamcha looked on in surprise, "Time Travel? Like that boy from the future?"

Gohan and Twenty continued to glare at each other, the young Saiyan already prepared for his next plan, to fight or preferably, save the two other androids.
