Future Timeline- Revelations

It was the future. Several years ago, a group of mysterious
strangers call 'androids' had appeared on Earth and begun
creating havoc among the general populous. The heroes of Earth,
shortened by the death of the greatest fighting champion, Goku,
desperately tried to defeat the powerful androids, but to no
avail. One by one, they fell. Tien, Yamcha, Chouzu, Piccolo,
Vegeta, and even Krillin had fallen victim to the androids'
amazing power, until only Gohan remained. The last of Earth's
heroes, crushed by the death of his father and of his closest
friends, reached the ultimate power of that which is known as a
Super Saiyan.

Gohan strived to become a great warrior, throwing away his
studies in exchange for training to fight the androids. The odds
were heavily against him, because the androids outnumbered him
four to one. Eventually, Gohan befriended Vegeta's son, Trunks,
and together they vowed to crush the androids and avenge their
friends.

Gohan had battled the androids on numerous occasions, and
had barely escaped with his life each time. When the time came to
face the androids with Trunks at his side, Gohan decided he had
to face the androids alone and kept Trunks out of battle by
knocking him unconscious.

"17, please, you're boring me. All the humans are dead and now
you're just blowing up buildings. There's nothing fun about this.
Let's find 16 and 19 and get out of here," said android 18 as she
played with her hair.

17 looked at her. "Why bother? 16 is so boring, and you know I
can't even stand 19's voice."

Suddenly, a powerful fist slammed into 17's left cheek, knocking
him into a nearby building and totaling it completely. 18 looked
at the warrior who had hit her brother. She sighed. "Oh, it's
you."

Gohan stared at her. "Your reign of terror is over, android," he
growled. 18 smiled.

17 stepped out of the dust and wreckage of the building, his
clothes tattered and torn. 18 laughed when she saw him. "Ha! 17,
your shirt- it's torn! You look hysterical!"

17 looked at Gohan angrily. "I thought we killed you and your
lavender-haired friend last time we fought. I guess I was wrong.
But at least we managed to take off an arm," grinned 17, pointing
at the stump that used to be Gohan's left arm. Gohan growled
again.

"PREPARE TO DIE, ANDROID!!" screamed Gohan as he transformed into
a Super Saiyan and rushed at 17.

17 smiled, darting out of the way, only to meet up with Gohan's
fist in midair. 17 flew into the ground, cursing. 18 flew at
Gohan, firing ki blasts at him as she neared him. Gohan jutted
down, grabbing 18's leg and ramming her face first into the roof
of a building. 17 appeared behind Gohan, smacking his arm into
Gohan's back and sending him flying into a large stone pole
supporting what remained of a highway overpass. 17 warped in
front of the Super Saiyan, smashing his android arm into Gohan's
face. Gohan fell toward the ground, flipping upside down and
hitting 17 with a ki blast before he skimmed over the land. 18
appeared behind the injured warrior. Grabbing Gohan's hair and
throwing his face into the side of a house. Gohan yelled and
wiped off the blood pouring from his head. 17 and 18 landed in
front of him, firing a team ki blast. Gohan fired a one-handed
blast, and overpowered the androids, sending them careening off
to the sides.

16 gazed up at the sky as rain began to fall. 19 stopped looking
through the rubble. "What are you looking at?"

"There is fighting going on across town. 17 and 18- they are
fighting someone. I think we should find them."

19 shrugged and launched himself into the sky behind 16 as the
two androids flew off to find their allies.

Gohan charged at the wall of dust, realizing that the androids
wouldn't die so easily. 17 flew from the dust, ramming his knee
into Gohan's gut and sending the warrior careening backward. He
locked fists with 17 and the two flew into the air exchanging
blows. 17 hopped above Gohan next to 18 and raised his hands,
forming a ki blast in his hands alongside 18. Gohan gasped as
they prepared to fire.

"TAIOKEN!!" screamed a familiar lavender-haired boy as he sent
the rays of the sun directly into the eyes of the two androids.
17 and 18 screamed and covered their eyes. Gohan stared at the
boy. "Trunks! What are you doing?!"

Trunks flew next to him. "The other androids are coming! We need
to hide!" The boy grabbed Gohan and dragged him down to the
wreckage of the city, hiding behind a shattered stone wall of a
building.

17 shouted. "Dammit! That kid tricked us with some sort of
special move!"

18 rubbed her eyes. "And they escaped. I don't see them
anywhere!"

16 and 19 came over and floated next to the others. "What's going
on?" asked 16.

17 gritted his teeth, a look of great anger across his face.
"Those two punks gave us the slip! You arrived too late, 16!"

18 set her arm on 17's shoulder. "Don't worry, 17. They'll show
themselves eventually. They always do."
