Trunks' stared at the ruined island city with a look of horror. This definitely brings back memories.

He could hear the cries of the survivors as they tried to find each other in the smoking wreckage. He heard the police sirens as officers tried in vain to bring the situation under control.

Trunks clenched his fists as his rage built, but a weak and familiar power level brought him back to his senses.

He was alive, but barely.

"Don't worry Yamcha! I'm coming!" Trunks flew towards the faint source that continued to grow fainter.

He could barely see in the smoke filled ruins of the city, but his other senses were able to guide him. He blasted his way through collapsed buildings and endured the heat of nearby fires until he saw Yamcha's bleeding shell.

"Oh no! Yamcha!" Trunks ran up to him and turned him over.

His body was wet with blood and he was unconscious. His heartbeat was faint and he was loosing blood by the second.

Trunks knew he had to act fast and pulled out a bag of senzu beans that he kept with him just in case.

"Here ya go Yamcha. I'll make whoever did this pay."

Trunks had to force the senzu bean down Yamcha's throat. He didn't wait for Yamcha to wake up and carried him off to Capsule Corp.

Juu was bored and decided to watch the news. Current events would definitely be the most interesting thing on TV.

The news report began with an image of a ruined city. The ruined city that Yamcha had nearly died in.

"There you see the ruins of a once prosperous island city. This city was fine up until a few hours ago, when seemingly out of nowhere explosions started up. Eyewitness reports claim that it was caused by terrorists armed with hand held explosives. Details are sketchy."

Juu gasped No terrorist could cause that much damage in such short time. It must be them.

A wave of fear crossed over her. What about Trunks and Piccolo? Would they come after her since she's a prime suspect?

I've got to get out of here! Juu rushed upstairs and started packing. Luckily she was so good at deciding what to bring that she was done within twenty minutes.

She rushed back into the room to turn off the TV. The same report was still going on. There had been several eyewitness interviews when she was packing, and the last one was starting now.

She held her breath. She had to know what the people responsible looked like.

"And what did you see when the terrorists attacked?" asked the reporter to the witness.

"I saw two teenagers, one girl and one boy. There was also an old man with them."

"Many people say that they saw an old man standing by and giving orders to the other two. What is your opinion on this?"

"I think that's a plausible idea. There was a sick old man with his teenage goon squad wreaking havoc on the city."

Juu swallowed hard as she processed the data. Those descriptions would easily fit her and her brother.

Their counterparts in this time line had finally awakened and the old man was most likely Dr. Gero.

Without a moment to lose she turned off the TV, grabbed her bags, and rushed out the door. She then locked up the house and brought out a car dinocap.

She got in the car with her bags and drove off as fast as she could without drawing too much attention.

Yamcha groggily opened his eyes. His eyelids were feeling very heavy and his body was aching.

The first thing he saw was Bulma's concerned face.

"You're awake," she said as a smile came to her face.

"Yeah...thought I was a goner."

"You should be more careful you fool."

"Thanks for your concern Bulma."

"You should thank Trunks. He's the one that found you and gave you a senzu bean before bringing you here."

Yamcha then noticed Trunks standing behind Bulma. "Hey Trunks. Thanks for bringing me here."

"No problem Yamcha. You should rest. You're still exhausted in spite of receiving a senzu bean. You were on the verge of death."

"Man, you're telling me? I can barely move at all. Even talking feels strenuous."

Bulma rubbed Yamcha's forehead. "You should rest."

"Before you rest, can you tell me who did that to you?"

"I...I didn't recognize either of them. There were two of them. One did this to me."

Yamcha started panting.

"You have to rest now Yamcha. You can tell more later," said a concerned Bulma.

"No, lives are at stake. H-he has to hear this." Yamcha panted some more before talking again. "Th-they d-didn't...they didn't have any energy...but they were strong...and...emotionless. There eyes...cold...blue...eyes. I-I think they were..." Yamcha couldn't take it anymore. He passed out.

"Rest well Yamcha." Bulma then noticed Trunks leaving. "Where are you going Trunks?"

"I have business to take care of."

Trunks left and flew off without another word.

"Glacer are you there? Come in Glacer! This is King Vegeta speaking!"

The screen remained hazy. Vegeta finally gave up. He turned to Raditz who was behind him.

"Something is wrong on planet Cold. I haven't been able to contact Glacer at all."

"Do you think it has anything to do with the anarchist groups the galactic alliance has been tracking?"

"I don't know, but Glacer was in favor of peaceful communication across the entire galaxy. Connection being cut off from planet Cold means that he's in trouble."

"Should I go there and check up on him?"

"Yes, but make it a covert mission. Take two space pods and go get Nail from Namek to assist you."

Raditz bowed. "Yes sir."

"Please don't bow to me Raditz. I don't want to rule the way my father did. A simple salute would suffice."

"I understand sir."

Raditz left for the space pod area.

Vegeta turned back to the blank screen. Glacer, what's happened to you?

Trunks landed in front of Juu's house. One could tell that he meant business.

He approached the door as his hair spiked and turned gold. He raised a fist to knock the door down.

"Stop Trunks!"

Trunks looked up at the roof and saw Piccolo. He was standing on top of the roof with his arms crossed.

"Why should I Piccolo."

"There's no point. She's long gone by now."

"How would you know? She's an android. You can't sense her energy."

"I've been monitoring her activities at the house for some time. She left a few hours ago and I don't know where she is."

"That proves that she's guilty. She's obviously afraid of me taking revenge."

"You're not thinking clearly Trunks. She was here when the attack happened. But considering how you would handle the situation it's only natural that she would leave."

"Then...they've finally arrived. The androids of this time line."

"I suspect so. They've dropped below the radar though. How frequently did they attack in your universe?"

"They attacked almost every day. Since the attack happened earlier today I doubt they would attack another city just yet."

"They might have been targeting Yamcha since he was alone. We'll have to check up on the others. You go to Krillin. I'll find Tien and Chaotzu."

Trunks nodded in agreement and blasted off.

Krillin was training outside when he noticed two shadows hovering over him. He looked up and was surprised to see two teenagers.

"Um...hello up there...can I help you?"

The two smiled and descended onto the sandy beach.

"Um...is there any reason why you two would come here?"

The girl smiled and stepped forward. "You'd better tell us where Goku is, Krillin, or I will kill you."

Krillin was taken aback, but quickly recovered. "It isn't a good idea to challenge one of the strongest men on the planet. You don't what you're up against."

The women started laughing. She then extended her arm and sent a blast into the house; destroying it.

At first Krillin was confused and outraged, but then he got a good look at her and he realized who she was.

"Oh...shit...I'm dead aren't I."

"You might live longer if you tell us where Goku is."

"Goku is dead. I can't give you any information about him or his friend. You will still be destroyed. Trunks and Piccolo will destroy you."

Eighteen took a step forwards. "Now you die."

Trunks sensed Krillin's power level rise dramatically before plummeting.

"Oh no! They've found Krillin! I've got to hurry!"

He powered up into a super saiyan and increased his speed to maximum.

When he reached the island that once had Kame house he saw a nothing more than a pile of rubble on the island.

"Oh...no! No!" Trunks rushed down to the island and saw an arm sticking out of the rubble. "Krillin!"

He pulled off hundreds of pounds of rubble before he saw Krillin's charred back.

"No...I...I was too late...I failed. I always fail!" Trunks powered up in rage, caused larges waves of water to expand from where he was. The earth shook and there were strong gusts of wind.

Piccolo arrived at Tien and Chaotzu's house.

Tien as outside cutting firewood and by the smell coming from inside, Piccolo could tell that Chaotzu was cooking.

Tien sensed Piccolo's prescience and looked up with a smile. "Hello Piccolo. I didn't expect a visit from you."

"I have some bad new Tien."

"I should've known. Why else would you be here?"

"There's been some trouble. Trunks and I suspect that the androids have finally arrived."

Tien's eyes widened.

Chaotzu came running outside. "What's going on Tien?"

"Piccolo said that the androids have arrived. But what happened?"

"Yamcha was nearly killed. I you turned on the TV you could see the news coverage of the incident."

"What about Juuhachigou, the android of the alternate universe that killed Goku?"

"She's gone missing, but we know she wasn't responsible for the attack."

"This is bad...do you sense that?"

"I do!" Piccolo's eyes widened. "Krillin is dead! The androids must have got to him!"

"I sense Trunks powering up. He must be fighting them."

"We should all go together. That way they can't peck us off."

"You and Trunks can have dinner at our house after this is over."

"Thanks Chaotzu."

They all took off to meet Trunks. When they arrived at Kame house they saw that Trunks had calmed down.

"What happened Trunks," asked Chaotzu.

"I was too late to save Krillin, but I will never be too late to save any friends again. Master Roshi, Turtle and Oolong weren't here. Tell them to go to Capsule Corp."

"What about you?" asked Piccolo. I'll go to the lookout to see if I can spot them."

Juu sipped at her up of coffee while reading a fashion magazine. She was overcome by a feeling of dread as she recalled the doctor's last words before she snuffed him out of existence.

"He will find you. He will eat you, and then you will become part of his ultimate perfection!"

She still couldn't find meaning in those words. What was he talking about? Who was he talking about. What did all of that mean. Was she in danger from an unknown threat? Was that threat now threatening her counterparts?

Whatever the case, she realized that she had to make an important decision. She could join her counterparts, her family. Or she could help the Z-fighters defeat them and gain their trust.

I decided to get rid of Krillin early on. I want Tien to be a more prominent charecter. Anyway, I have some review questions:

1-What are your thoughts on Juu's current situation and the choices she has to make?

2-How do you feel about Trunks?

3-What are your thoughts on what happened to Glacer(a made up charecter from the other story)? Its significance will become known later.
