Life After Armageddon
Episode 1: 4 years later! Briefs City! Trunks, is forced into the Tenkaichi Tournament by Mom!??!
Ever since Trunks returned to his time 4 years earlier, he had not letup on his training. Knowing that someday another super being could threaten the people of earth, he spent long hours in the Capsule Corporation gravity chamber, he had recently climbed to the level of 800 times normal gravity.
For Trunks, being strong was now a huge responsibility; his mother Bulma had recently created a new type of scouter and his ki was last measured at a maximum level of 550 million, meanwhile the second strongest ki on the planet belonged to none other than Muten Roshi, the Turtle Hermit, who only clocked in at only 139, not million, just 139.
Another problem for Trunks, ever since saving the earth has been dealing with the fame that came with it. He's always been a very private individual, and now he can no longer even go to get groceries without being rushed by the paparazzi. As such, he now usually only leaves Capsule Corporation HQ to fly off to some private place to reflect upon past events, which he was doing right now.
"Gohan, I'm sorry," said the warrior kneeling on one knee in front of his best friends grave. "I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough back then to defeat the Androids, but everything is better now and I'll never let anything like the Android terror threaten this planet again! I promise you that"
It was moments like this that for Trunks gave him the inspiration he needed to continue training as hard as he possibly could, he saw so many people die violently in a flash of terror before that the very thought of having to witness it ever again made him sick to his stomach. As far as Trunks was concerned nobody was going to mess with the earth ever again!
With that, Trunks took to the sky and flew back to the Capsule Corporation HQ landing on the top of the building, where he his mother, Bulma greeted him. "Son!" she said enthusiastically, "I have a favor to ask of you," Trunks frowned, thinking that his mom had scheduled him to do another guest appearance to shill the latest Capsule Corporation product... but she was thinking of something a bit different this time.
"That's ridiculous mom!" said Trunks after hearing her idea. "I don't care if you think it's ridiculous. I want you to enter the Tenkaichi Tournament and win the championship for me! Having you, the world's savior in the tournament is good publicity for the company and it's also cheap, being you're my son I wont have to pay you anything.. And that helps our bottom line" replied a grinning Bulma. "But mom," said Trunks "No buts!" said Bulma cutting him off "The winner of the Tenkaichi Tournament is considered the worlds strongest fighter and that is what you are, you might not think it's fair to the other competitors you enter but if the winner is supposed to be the strongest in the world you should enter!".
Trunks, unable to argue with that logic finally gave-in "Ok, you win, I'll enter the tournament" said Trunks. "Excellent! In case you haven't been paying attention the tournament is being held in our own Briefs City this year, it takes place in two weeks" Bulma then in her own manic yet cheerful way went off to make the announcement to the whole world through a press release.
Watching his mother leave Trunks could only think to himself "What have I gotten myself into, the press is going to be everywhere" before heading to the gravity room where he would spend most of the remaining portion of the night doing nothing but harsh training.
Despite knowing he had absolutely nobody who could possibly match his strength, over the course of the next two weeks Trunks cut himself off from the rest of the world even more than he usually does to train his hardest, he wanted to be at his absolute best when he won the Tenkaichi Tournament, more than anything it was a matter of pride, a pride that he had developed upon the year of training he had undergone with his father in the Room of Spirit and Time in the other timeline.
Finally, the two weeks passed and Trunks faced his greatest fear... not the tournament, but rather dealing with the press a full day before getting away from them and into the qualifying round, which this year was a series of 16 battle royals, each with 8 men competing in them, the rules for the qualifying round were the same as those of the tournament, the rules being that you can lose by: knockout, submission, ring-out and by killing your opponent.
Trunks in his qualifying round had amazing crowd support, many chants of "Trunks" and "Go Trunks Go!" came from the crowd while he was on his way to the ring... and it's a good thing they didn't wait to cheer, since Trunks cleared the ring all too quickly, simply by powering up he sent all 7 of his adversaries flying out of the ring to a ring-out loss.
Trunks smirked and began to walk out of the ring... when all of a sudden a beam of light shot up from the center of the ring causing the ring to explode into thousands of pieces... and Trunks was caught in the center of the explosion!
