"Are you sure Gohan?" The man turned and smiled at Bulma.
"Yes, I don't need you to make me a new arm Bulma. I already told Trunks not to wish me another one. While training with my dad I learned an effective style with just this one arm. In some ways I am better that Trunks with this new style. Speaking of which…do you know where he went?"
"The heck if I know! But let me tell you, if and when I find him he'll pay for dumping these kids on me!" Gohan looked at the babies that had now sprouted tails and crawled about the damaged household. Gohan faked a smile as he took a couple steps back now that Bulma's attention was on the children. Gohan took off with great speed before Trunks' mother had a chance to turn around. "Ugh, now I know what a granny feels like…but how they can keep that smile on their face is beyond me." Bulma whipped out a bottle in one hand and a pacifier in the other and went at it.
Outskirts of West City
"You called me Trunks?" Gohan landed on the ground kicking up dust in every direction. Trunks turned to Gohan with his long hair and pony tail. "Wow, you really let yourself go."
"Well while I was back in the past I came to like this." Gohan smiled looking at the Trunks he had help raise. In truth Trunks had become a superb warrior and protector of the Earth. It was now obvious to Gohan that Trunks was no longer his apprentice or pupil, but an equal partner.
"Don't think I was slacking off while I was dead. Everyone…they were all busy training to get stronger if the off chance came that you would escape to Namek and wish them back to life. I bet you those Androids wouldn't have stood a chance if any one of us came back to life, even Krillin!" Trunks laughed, but he began to get perspective on how desperate his timeline was. "Well I want to see what my father taught you. So what do you say to a sparring match?"
"Well Goku didn't teach me anything, but my father…he taught me a lot. You won't find me such an easy adversary." As Trunks said this his gray hair began to float upwards as rocks began to lift off the ground. Suddenly Gohan dove at Trunks knocking him down. Just as Gohan sensed, an energy blast smashed into the ground beside them sending a giant cloud upwards shielding their presence. "Gohan, what the hell was that!?"
"Shut up, they are probably looking for us…" Trunks obeyed his mentor and ceased to speak.
"It's no use trying to conceal yourselves," The voice was all too familiar to Trunks.
"I thought 17 and 18 would have destroyed the lab where you guys were created…" Sure enough the cloud cleared and before him were three beings. One was a grayish skinned male with a braided ponytail and a very muscular look about him seeing as how he was missing a shirt. The second was purple and sported an odd neon green with a bright yellow suit, and looked kind of puny. The last wore a baseball cap, yellow vest with no undershirt and green shorts, this one had an okay muscle build.
"Wait, who are these guys Trunks?" Gohan said this getting up to his feet. Trunks followed dusting himself off.
"Androids 15, 14, and 13…" The response forced Gohan reeling backwards.
"What!?" Trunks nodded reassuring Gohan that this was no jest. It was beyond Gohan that there were more Androids in existence. "Does Gero just keep making these guys?"
"It seems that Goku and most of the Z-Fighters have already met an untimely end. It looks like it's up to us to finish off the rest of them. I don't necessarily like mop-up jobs, but then again I'm not too picky myself."
"Well you won't be defeating us today…" Gohan looked at the androids as he said this, and before he knew it Android 14 and 15 were charging in. 14, the gray skinned android reached Gohan instantly in an odd silence. Catching the Half-Sayian off guard Gohan was sent flying backwards from 14's sheer power. Gohan sailed backwards through a rather large boulder. Gohan regained his senses, outstretched his hand and pushed off the ground virtually stopping his backwards trajectory. Gohan landed neatly and immediately pushed off towards the Android that struck him. Trunks was dealing with a similar problem as he too was caught off guard. Android 15, although small and purple was proving to have a certain vigor as he rammed a combination of kicks and punches into Trunks' gut. Finally feeling that his flurry was complete smashed Trunks into the air. Gohan slammed his elbow into 14 and landed a solid kick to the head sending the Android tumbling backwards. Trunks readjusted himself in midair and looked down at the Android.
"You're going down…all of you!" Trunks burst into Super Sayian with a superb display of power. Gohan wasn't too surprised as he had watched Trunks' few battles with the Androids from Other World. Trunks flew towards Android 15 with newfound speed. Suddenly Trunks was cut off by swift kick in the chest by one Android 13. Trunks was sent flying in another direction. The gray haired Half-breed found himself lodged in a large rock.
"Nobody said we would fight fair. Ha ha ha!" 13 continued to laugh as he looked at Trunks who didn't immediately rebound from the attack.
"Trunks!" Gohan looked over at Trunks, but was quickly brought back to his own fight as 14 was putting on the pressure with a relentless fury. With no course of action left to him save a defensive one Gohan began blocking all of the Android's attacks. "I won't let you guys just have your way..." Gohan said this through the punches that the gray skinned android dished out. Gohan's eyes became a bright blue, "I WONT'T!!!" Gohan's power rose dramatically as a yellow aura surrounded him and his hair turned golden. The energy that was let off from the transformation was enough in itself to blow 14 backwards and get the attention of 15 and 13. Trunks looked at Gohan from inside the rock he was lodged in.
"Just his Super Sayian level is so powerful…does that mean he can do it like the other Gohan?" As Trunks said this to himself Gohan seemed to vanish with his superb speed. Gohan reappeared and smashed his fist into the center of 14's back, and after what seemed to be an odd lag time 14 was sent spiraling through a rock pillar forcing it to collapse on him. Gohan turned to face 13 and 15 now with his blue eyes.
Other World
"Yeah, that's right! Hit him again son!" The energetic voice came from none other than Goku. Vegeta spit at the ground beside his Sayian brother.
"Trunks just got blindsided, or else he would be stealing the show."
"I don't know Vegeta, we know how strong Gohan is, but we don't know what Trunks has been doing. Unfortunately I don't think there is any world that transcends time itself."
"You've just proved my point baldy," Vegeta smacked the bald kid-looking man.
"If you like hitting me so much why don't we fight? Come on, I'll even let you use Super Sayian."
"You and I both know that wouldn't be enough. I would have to use at least Super Sayian 2." Krillin smiled and scratched his head.
"Don't be a knucklehead Krillin; you know Vegeta would just pound you into the ground with his Super Sayian 3 form." Yamcha said tapping the bald character on the back of the head.
"Hey why is everyone suddenly siding with Vegeta, and hitting me?" The group laughed together with the exception of Vegeta and Piccolo.
Outskirts of West City
Gohan was one the defensive again, his Super Sayian form not enough to hold back the full on assault of all three androids. "Damn, I can't even get in a single attack…"
"Keep it up boys; we got him on the ropes." Suddenly a large yellow beam wiped Android 15 out of the running leaving 13 and 14 on Gohan. Gohan quickly let out a quick burst of energy sending Android 15 flying away. Trunks floated in the air with a smirk on his face.
"I owe you one Trunks," Trunks nodded and sped after 15 who was still being taken along with the energy beam Trunks had fired earlier. The beam finally dissipated leaving 15 to continue on his path. Trunks quickly flew into the android's path and delivered a hard elbow to the purple skinned android's gut. The gray haired Half Sayian could have sworn he heard something crack.
"I should have brought my sword…" Having said this Trunks landed a kick in 15's side sending him flying away. Trunks began making his hand motions. "Burning Attack!" Trunks fired the particularly powerful energy attack at Android 15 who was destroyed. Now with parts strewn upon the ground he charged to help Gohan deal with 14 and 13. To Trunks' surprise Gohan had both of the androids pressed down. "And to think he's doing that with just one arm…" Gohan slammed his foot right into where 14's kneecap would be and completely destroyed the android's right leg with the attack. Trunks swooped in and smashed 13 taking him away from Gohan. Gohan proceeded to break off 14's left arm completely.
"Damn it," 13 said this as he struggled to push off Trunks who rode the android straight into a wall. Gohan palmed the android's face and squeezed. Gohan proceeded to throw the android flying through the air and charged his own ki attack.
"Masenko!" The blast destroyed 15 leaving his parts strewn upon the ground. Trunks landed next to Gohan who turned to face the recovering Android 13.
"No, you haven't defeated me yet! You haven't defeated us yet!" The appropriate parts began to swirl around 13 and the android began to glow.
"Oh no! I can't believe I forgot about this part. Damn it!! I don't know how much different this Android's power is compared to the other one."
"So you've already seen this happen?" Trunks nodded answering Gohan's question. The glowing stopped and before them stood a blue skinned giant with silver armor.
"Come to your death fools! That yellow haired form of yours will not help you here!" Gohan smirked as he looked at the new threat before them.
"I guess an Ascended Sayian will have to work, right?" Trunks was a little confused as Gohan said this.
"Wait Gohan, can you really go…" Trunks' question was answered Gohan let out a quick shout and his aura doubled in power and electricity began to run up and down it. "Just like the Gohan in the past…" Trunks was really amazed as Gohan looked at Super 13 with a newfound determination. Trunks felt a need to show how much he had improved as well. Trunks transformed into his "Super Trunks" stage as he became incredibly bulky and the string holding his ponytail together broke allowing the rest of his hair to rise up. Trunks dashed at Super 13 only to be swatted away as if he was a fly. Trunks smashed into a boulder as Gohan squared up against the android.
"He was just about as foolish as you are!" The new Android 13 rushed Gohan and the two began to do battle. Trunks watched from afar wincing in pain.
"It's like an exact opposite of the past, the 17 and 18 of the past would definitely defeat the ones from this time and if I'm not mistaken Androids 13, 14, and 15 from this time period would definitely defeat those of the past. What is going on here…?"
Dende's Lookout
"Are you serious Mr. Popo?"
"To become an effective guardian you will have to become strong. From now on you will be taking trips in my special training machine to test yourself against some of the strongest foes I have seen. You will be starting with Raditz."
"Are you going to let him do this to me Dende?" The new guardian of Earth simply smiled.
"You did want to come to Earth so you could protect me. Doing this will prove yourself worthy of that task." Bolt looked away for a moment.
"I can feel some familiar power levels rising…" Dende simply chuckled as he turned to return to his work.
"It's probably just Gohan and Trunks sparring." Bolt could feel something strange about how the levels rose and fell just tiny smidgens, but at a sporadic rate...too much so for ordinary sparring at least. It was an anomaly Bolt let out of his mind as he followed Mr. Popo towards the training device.
Ruined Capsule Corps
"Where are you Kurtz?" Bulma walked around the house with a bottle in her hand. She passed one baby which she scoop up "hey Malaki, how are you doing?" Malaki let out a noise of happiness and slapped Bulma's nose. Fortunately it was less of a slap and more of an inquisitive tapping of her nose. As he did this Bulma continued walking through the halls to find Kurtz. Eventually she found him crawling towards a damaged gravity room. It was at this time Malaki's inquisitive tapping turned into a curious picking of Bulma's nose. "Argh," Bulma shook her head from of Malaki's hand as she scooped up Kurtz. "I'm going to have so many gray hairs by the end of this."
Axelpro: This next chapter will sum up the Super Android 13 crisis and then there will be a time jump letting the future heroes grow up to pre-teen status. Just felt like giving some insight into the future.
