Special Notice
This story takes place a few years after the Cell Games, and the Buu saga won't exist. In this universe, Gokuh never had to sacrifice himself to save Earth from Cell. Torankusu went back to his time directly after the tournament only to find things had worsened. Chaozu was killed during the Saiyajin saga as normal, but once wished back remained with Chi-Chi and helped around the house when not training.
Prologue
It was year CLXIV, and most of the earth laid in ruin. Thousands of languid bodies littered the demolished ground, which was surfaced in debris and filth. A single human—at least, it appeared human—stood, with a comatose expression, in the center of the catastrophe. His eyes became sprightly after a long, pensive concentration, and he slightly smirked. He levitated for a moment, and disappeared.
Far away from the demolition, the area was still peaceful. The Spring season was setting in, and warm winds sailed across grass inundated in flowers. The clouds were white as mountain caps, and seemed heavily thick. Earth's unknown heroes were gathered to train for an overwhelming fight they knew was coming.
Torankusu had once come from the future to warn the Z-Warriors of the coming Jinzoningen Junanagou and Juhachigou, but had again come to divulge a new threat; a threat with no equal.
Gokuh had slowed down for Chi-Chi, and rarely trained anymore. After learning of the new opponent, however, he immediately began to train arduously. Unknowingly to the other warriors, he had asked Popo-San to prepare the Hyperbolic Time Chamber once again. It would take 23 hours.
Tenshinhan and Chaozu trained with Yamucha on a daily basis. Although the three allies knew their aid was next to useless, they endeavored to become more powerful. Perhaps they can prove useful...
Pikkoro trained alone, and spent his time with Popo-San and Dende meditating. After merging with Kamisama, Pikkoro's attitude had taken a toll. Despite uniting with his pure self, the dwelling evil had emerged triumphantly. No one is sure if he will remain a Z-Warrior, or if his iniquitous being will prove victorious.
Gohan and Kuririn had become sparring partners due to Pikkoro's isolation, and the two never felt closer. Possibly even closer than Gokuh is to Kuririn. They perfected each technique both dependent and independent upon each other. They taught each other endless knowledge despite Gohan being thousands of times stronger. They were inseparable.
