In the "proper" Dragonball Z timeline Tabion and Hildegarn didn't show up
until after Majin Buu was destroyed. Tabion was released from his prison by
a wish from the Dragon Balls and with him was released the second half of
the fearsome monster. All the Z warriors; Goku, Gohan, Gotenks, Vegeta and
even Tabion himself battled Hildegarn but to no avail. Hildegarn was
eventually destroyed by Son Goku, by transforming into a Super Saiyan 3 and
using the Dragonfist technique. Tabion returned home and peace had been
restored.
What would happen though, in a world where Son Goku and the other warriors did not live? What would happen if Hildegarn had been free to roam in the world with no heros?

Time: Mirai's World. 6 Months after Gohan's death.
Trunks was in quiet mediation. He sat on top of a peak in the open wilderness. One of the last areas that had been untouched by the Androids path of destruction. He hated leaving his mother behind back at Capsule Corp. All alone and without protection, but there had been no choice.
He had to continue his training.
Ever since Gohan had died at the hands of those malevolent machines six months ago and he had transformed into a Super Saiyan for the first time a new power had been awoken within him. He had been amazed at the increases in his strength, speed, power and stamina. He was a whole new person now. But he still wasn't strong enough. Gohan had been a Super Saiyan after all and he had still died.
The thought of his former mentor and sensei filled Trunks with a mixed sense of both grief and anger. Trunks could feel his hatred for the two androids filling within him. He allowed the building energy to expand outward, overwhelm his ki and flare outward. The familiar rush filled his body and he could feel himself transform into a Super Saiyan. He allowed his energy to expand and grow even more. Energy and ki crashed and roared around him, even if the empty mountainside that he was surrounded by. The energy expanded even more and the mountain top that he was resting on broke away and crumbled beneath the incredible power. Trunks anger burned within him. He vowed that he wouldn't rest until he had made those Androids pay for what they had doen to Gohan, his mother's friends and to the entire population of Earth.
"That was very impressive," came a voice from out of nowhere.
Trunks was snapped out of his mediation immediately and his ki returned to normal. He opened his eyes and looked around, his body at the battle ready. He reached out and tried to sense any strong ki's. Though he knew that the androids didn't prduce such energies but it was a reflex he had developed through training with Gohan. "Who are you?" he shouted out, his voice echoing around him. "Show yourself!"
"Relax young one," came a reply. Trunks still couldn't pinpoint the source. The echoing in the mountains was making, hard to determine where the voice had come from and he still couldn't feel any other strong powers. "I have come with no malicious intent. But I have come for your help."
Trunks then saw who it was that was speaking to him. a old man in a deep blue robe appeared floating in the air and flew closer to trunks. His pink face had been wrinkled with age and his white hair was bristled and mangled. He looked tired, like he had been on the run for a while.
"What's wrong? Have the Androids attacked you?"
"No, I'm afraid that it is something far worse than Androids. A monster from the southern galaxy that has been wreaking havoc across planets for over one thousand years now had arrived on Earth."
"What?"
"I'm afraid that it is true. And I believe that there is only one person that may be able to help us."
"And who would that be?"
"Have you ever heard the Legend of the Brave Warrior?" the old man asked.
"No I haven't." Trunks replied. "I think you should tell me though. You can follow me to me home. We can talk there and you can tell me all about this 'Brave Warrior'." The old man nodded his agreement and the two set off for Capsule Corp. in what remianed of West City.
When they arrived, Turnks found his mother hanging some sort of wind chime up outside. He was amazed at her ability to remain calm and serene despite everything that was going on. The entire world was being destroyed around her and here she was, a pillar of strength. As he and the old man landed, she turned to face him and offered a wave as she finshed hanging the chime and moved to greet him.
"Hi honey," she said. Then she notice the old man who was accompanying her son. "Who is this?"
"Someone who is in need of help, and who says he has information about something far worse than the androids,'' Trunks replied. He could see the look of horror on his mother's face as he mention the prospect of something being more powerful than the androids. She hid it well behind a calm visage but he could see it in her eyes.
"My name is Hoi," the old man said as he removed the hood from over his head.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Bulma replied as she extended a hand in greeting.
"Likewise. I just wish that this would be under better circumstances."
"I think you should tell us about this monster now Hoi," Trunks said. "And about this 'Brave Warrior'."
"Yes, of course. His name is Tabion. He was a powerful warrior from a planet in the Southern Galaxy. A strong defender of justice. But unfortunately one thousand years ago he was sealed away by an evil oracle."
"Sealed away?" Trunks and Bulma asked in unison.
"Yes," Hoi replied. From his robe he produced a small music box and presented it to mother and son. "He was sealed away inside of this. Legend says that he would only be released if the crank was turned."
Trunks took the box from Hoi and examined it. "I just have to turn this crank?"
Hoi became angry. "Dont you think that if it were that easy I would have done it already?" he shouted.
"Hey, sorry," Trunks said apologetically. "Well I could try it." Trunks took the box in one hand and gripped the crank tightly in the other. Then with all his strength he tried to turn the crank , but it wouldn't budge an inch. "Damn," he exclaimed. He focused his energy as he had earlier in the mountain range and began to glow with a gold aura. Bulma knew what it was that he was trying to do and motioned for Hoi to step back just as she was to give her son some room. In another flash Trunks had become a Super Saiyan and resumed trying to turn the crank, But his effort was still futile. He calmed himself, his ki lowered and his hair returned to its original purple coloring. He handed the box to his mother and rested agianst the wall of his house.
"It is just as I feared," Hoi said with dissapointment. "I had hoped from seeing your power in the mountains that you would be strong enough to open the box and free the Brave Warrior but it is not to be."
What would happen though, in a world where Son Goku and the other warriors did not live? What would happen if Hildegarn had been free to roam in the world with no heros?
