A/N: Woot! Two updates in one week. Good thing I've got spring break this
week.
Yk Freak- it's not that I want you to do it; it's that you said that you would do it for every chapter, so I pointed out that you missed one.
The Vampire Story Hunter- sounds good. Could you send something explaining the characters and stuff of Tenchi Universe, I haven't seen it so I have little to no idea of what it's about.
Ian- Don't know enough about it to make a story. Could you tell me the basic plot and stuff about it?
chris- I don't intend to go into GT. I don't know enough of the plot.
Trunkszgirl- go right ahead and use it.
Luna's Meow- kill Exodia? Are you saying that I should make a Gohan duel monster card or something? Interesting...
GShans- That's too true. Gohan needs his intelligence to remain good. I think that idea would work, but I have other plans for instant transmission.
Elton John- Thanks. That idea sounds good to me. I'm going to try balancing the two stories. If it doesn't work, I'll just stick to this story for the most part unless I have a lot of extra time on my hands.
Marshmellow13Dragon- I'll try, but don't expect anything too extravagant, I can't exactly think of anything that could happen with Mirai Trunks.
DBZ Chick1- Ahhh... a reviewer of many words. ^_^
Disclaimer: I don't own it so don't sue me, I don't have anything worthwhile to give you.

Chapter 11
A soft breeze was blowing across the destroyed terrain. Whatever grass was left was a dark brown. The roar of a machine broke the silence. The yellow egg shaped time machine appeared and landed. Out from it emerged Mirai Trunks.
"Looks like the androids haven't come back for another attack," he thought aloud. He pressed the button on the side of the machine to return it to its capsule. He picked the capsule up and returned it to the pocket of his jacket.
"Mom! Goku! I'm home!" Trunks called as he entered the living room.
"There you are!" Bulma exclaimed. "So? How did the trip go?"
Trunks looked at his mom and smiled. He blinked a couple times as the image of his past mother was still in his mind. He saw that she hadn't really changed in twenty years, except for a couple wrinkles and her eyes constantly showing exhaustion from spending way too much time working.
"It went great mom. I warned them and gave them the cure to the virus." Trunks turned his attention to his mentor. He definitely hadn't changed in twenty years, other than being in the wheelchair. "Um, Goku? Why didn't you tell me that Gohan was telepathic?"
"He was?" Goku asked, somehow still being as naïve as ever. He even still acted somewhat innocent, how nobody knew. "I don't remember that."
"Yeah. He knew who I was the instant that I went out to face Frieza. He knocked me out of the way and took care of them by himself, though. I'm going to go charge the machine so that I can go back and help them."
"You really shouldn't, dear. You don't know how much you'll mess up the timeline. It's bad enough that you went back once, but twice? Not to mention that saving that time, assuming you did, didn't change anything here." Bulma explained.
"I know, but maybe if they can find a way to defeat the androids back then, they could help me defeat them here," Trunks stated.
"Don't bother arguing with him, Bulma," Goku said, "He can be as stubborn as Vegeta once he makes his mind up on something. Go plug it in and meet me outside for some training." Bulma sighed heavily but gave up, knowing Goku was right.
"Trunks rushed though the halls of Capsule Corps. and into his mom's lab. He removed the capsule from his pocket and pushed the button on the top of the capsule and threw it a couple feet away. The time machine popped out and he immediately plugged it into the wall. He then left outside to meet up with Goku.
"Ok. The machine is hooked up, what should I do now?" Trunks inquired.
"Why do you ask that every single time? Well... I guess it's a good thing this time. Bulma managed to repair one of the gravity machines that we used to train in. We'll head inside and work from there."
Goku and Trunks went into the gravity room. Goku powered up to help resist the gravity and raised it to fifty G's. Trunks fell to the floor immediately. To help himself, Trunks increased his power. He kept going until his bowl-shaped lavender hair shot straight up and turned golden and eyes turning turquoise. Goku shook his head at him.
"Drop out of super saiyan, Trunks. It's the only way to get stronger." Trunks reluctantly complied and returned his hair back to lavender and eyes back to blue. He once again fell to the floor.
"Good. Now we're going to stay here until you can move around normally without increasing your power level."
It took the majority of the day until Trunks could move around at his normal speed. They stopped working and went back into the kitchen for a nice snack. While they were eating, the radio came on with an announcement.
"Attention! The androids have been sighted in East City. They are continuing their destructive rampage. Stay far away from the city..."
Trunks stood up and attached his sword to his back.
"You really shouldn't be going out now, Trunks, if you intend to return to the past when the machine is done charging," Bulma said.
"I know, but I can't just sit here and let people get hurt without trying to stop them."
"I swear... you've spent too much time around Goku for your own good. Fine. I won't be able to convince you otherwise so try not to get to beat up, sweetie." Trunks nodded and left towards East City.
It didn't take to long to make the voyage from West City to East City. Trunks spotted the androids standing down on the streets shooting at people and counting up how many people they had killed.
'Those monsters! This is all just a game to them!'
Trunks flared his ki and transformed again into super saiyan. He charged into battle and kicked one into the head, sending him flying straight into his sister. They both stood back up quickly.
Trunks glared at the male android. He was standing there smugly staring at him through piercing blue eyes, black hair waving around in the wind. He was wearing, as usual, his black shirt and blue jeans. His shirt had the customary red bow with to R's in it. He had and orange bandana around his neck and a belt with a gun in it on his waist. His pants stopped just above his ankles, showing the green socks going into blue and white sneakers.
"You monsters! I won't let you get away with this anymore! This is the day that justice will be served and I'll rid this world of you once and for all!" Trunks yelled.
The male turned to his twin sister. She was twirling around her blonde hair with her finger, blue eyes looking around in boredom. She wore a sleeveless blue jean jacket, which was unzipped. Under it she wore a black and white stripped shirt tucked into a blue jean skirt. She wore brown boots that went up to an inch or two below her knees.
"Eighteen, where have I heard him say that before?" he asked his sister.
"I believe that it was every time he came to fight us, Seventeen. He's been wrong every time," Eighteen replied lazily.
"Oh yes, that's right. How could I have forgotten? Well, I could use some more fun anyway. All of these other humans just run away; they're no fun," Seventeen said.
Trunks growled and launched into an attack on Android Seventeen. He started out throwing flurries of punches and kicks, all of which Seventeen either blocked or dodged. Seventeen knocked away Trunks's fist and punched him in the stomach. He then backhanded him into the nearby ruins of what was once a building.
"You're really starting to bore me, Blondie. Why do you even bother fighting us when you know you can't win?" Seventeen inquired.
"Because I have to stop the likes of you from destroying what's left of this place. You've invaded this planet and killed most of it off for your own amusement. And one day, you're going to get what's coming to you!"
Seventeen yawned loudly. "Eighteen, what do you say we finish this. I'm getting quite bored here." Eighteen looked up, somewhat excited at the chance to do something to relieve herself of boredom.
"Finally. I've been getting tired of this anyway."
Seventeen and Eighteen both launched into battle. Trunks knew that he was in major trouble and that now he had to hope for the best. The androids unleashed deadly blows, all of them hitting Trunks. They unleashed weak ki blasts that sent Trunks soaring into the ground again.
Trunks shot straight into the air. Both androids looked at him quizzically; normally, he just stayed on the ground and hoped that they left so he could leave. Trunks fanned his fingers out over his forehead.
"It's time I show you a new trick of mine. SOLAR FLARE!!"
The blinding light emitted gave Trunks more than enough time to flee the scene back to Capsule Corps.
"He got away again, Seventeen," Eighteen stated.
"Yes he did. This is becoming quite the nuisance. Next time, I'm just going to finish him right away," Seventeen growled.
Trunks landed on the grass back at Capsule Corps, panting heavily. He went inside and collapsed on the couch. Bulma and Goku blinked a couple times before talking.
"How did you get so lucky, Trunks? Normally, you have so many cuts and bruises that I can barely tell it's you," Goku asked.
"I used the solar flare technique you taught me. Worked like a charm," Trunks panted.
"The time machine will be done in about an hour so rest up. You should be good enough to leave by then."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone flew to the ground. They realized a major problem when they couldn't sense the energy levels of the two androids, making it difficult to find them. They split into groups of two and searched for the androids. They were to flare their energy twice if they found the androids.
Gohan was searching with his mentor, Piccolo. Piccolo stuck to the sky to avoid as much questioning by the citizens as possible.
Vegeta was grumbling to himself about searching with a human. Yamcha was trying to keep as much distance between himself and the arrogant prince as possible, while still keeping him in sight.
Goku and Krillin were looking around for anything. Krillin had to remind Goku a few times that this was a battle, not a time to eat.
Tien was, as usual, working with Choutzu. Choutzu was sending out telepathic signals to try and find those with destruction on their minds while sitting on Tien's shoulder. Tien was just walking around in a random direction. That was probably the reason they didn't notice the two figures standing on the roof of a six-story building.
"This one is identified as Tienshinhan," a high-pitched voice squeaked out. "He has a very low power level. The one on his shoulder is known as Emperor Choutzu. His power is even weaker, but has strong telepathic powers in an attempt to make up for lack of physical strength. Tienshinhan is Emperor Choutzu's body guard."
"Very good," an older, more normal voice commented. "We shall start with these two first. You can have the guardian, I'll restrain the emperor."
They quietly snuck down until they were behind their targets. The one with the high-pitched voice put his hand over Tien's mouth at the same time that his partner put a hand over Choutzu's. Both gasped in shock as they felt their energy being sucked out of them. They quickly flared their auras twice to alert the others of their position and location of the androids. They both passed out soon afterwards from lack of energy.
Gohan, being in super saiyan form, was the first one to arrive on the scene. He glanced nonchalantly at the two beings before him. One of them was short and fat. It wore a black pointy hat with the red-ribbon symbol on the front. Its entire body was a very pale white. It wore black pants and an orange shirt striped with black. It had a blue jewel in both of its hands.
The other one seemed more humanoid. Its skin was the same as anyone else's skin. It appeared to be just an old man with long white hair and wrinkles all over his face. His shirt and pants were the same as that of his companions, but his hat stood about a foot off the top of his head.
Gohan felt the others land behind him. He noticed that both of them payed particular interest in his father.
"The tall one with the black hair pointing in all directions is the one known as Goku," the short android stated.
"Very good, Nineteen. You have done well. Goku, I've been waiting for the day when I would meet you again. I'm still waiting to give you the revenge I promised so many years ago. I've been studying data on you for a long time and have gathered sufficient information to be stronger that you and your friends."
"Does your information include the trip we just took to Namek?" Piccolo asked.
"No. By then we had gathered sufficient information to predict the increase in strength that would be exhibited by all members of the group." Everyone had wide grins on their faces.
"Then you're sorely outclassed. We all have gained major power boosts since departing for Namek," Goku stated.
"This ought to be fun. Although I wish it could be more exciting if they only programmed it off of how weak they would be," Vegeta taunted. The old android looked at Android Nineteen with some confusion in his eyes.
"Nineteen, who is that male with the flame-shaped hair? I don't recall having records on him," he inquired.
Nineteen looked directly at Vegeta to try and identify him. They saw a lot of what appeared to be words and numbers flash through its eyes.
"There is no known information on that fighter," Nineteen proclaimed.
"That doesn't make sense; I should have data on all of Goku's allies."
Gohan smirked at him. "That depends. Were you using silver computer devices to collect data on us?"
"Yes I was, how did you know that?"
"That would explain why they don't know of Vegeta. I destroyed the insect that observed our fight with him, so Raditz is the last information he has on us." Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta got huge smirks on their faces while the others were relieved. This meant that these androids would be no trouble for them.
"Well then, if you want a piece of me, then come and get it. But first, we should go somewhere that doesn't have innocent people nearby to hurt," Goku said.
The old android frowned momentarily. His eyes flashed pink and he unleashed powerful beams from his eyes, destroying the remains of the people other than the Z Warriors.
"There. This island is now devoid of life so there is no one to interfere with the fight. Let us begin."
"How could you!?" Goku exclaimed. "I didn't mean like that. Let's go to an island that is clear of any building or anything. I'll lead the way."
"Very well then," the old android said. "Lead the way."
Everyone took flight, following wherever Goku was leading them. They flew for about twenty minutes before the androids tired of waiting.
"This is far enough. We shall do battle on the island down there. It suits your requirements as stated," the android announced. Everyone landed on the island, the androids on one side, everyone else behind Goku on the other.
Goku powered up with a thunderous yell. His aura surrounded him before turning gold. His hair shot upwards, looking like Vegeta's, and turned gold. His eyes became a fierce turquoise.
"Let's do this. Which one of you is going first?"
"Allow me to dispose of him, Twenty," Nineteen offered.
"You already gained the greater power from the power of the previous two, but go ahead," Twenty said.
Android Nineteen stepped forward. Goku did his usual stretches before settling in his fighter's stance. Nineteen bypassed getting into a fighter's stance and shot himself at Goku. The android sent punch after punch at Goku, most of which were dodged. Goku frowned wondering why the android wasn't going faster. Goku grabbed hold of the android's arm and roundhouse kicked him in the face, knocking his head off. Goku stared in shock at the body of Nineteen.
"Wow, that was too easy," Goku exclaimed. To make sure that it wouldn't attack, Goku fired a blast of energy, obliterating the body. He returned his attention to Twenty, to see that he was fleeing as fast as he could from the battlefield. Everyone gave chase after the android. They all surrounded him, preventing him from getting anywhere.
"What's the matter, scared are we?" Gohan taunted.
'This won't work. Their powers are too high. I must return to the lab and release Androids Seventeen and Eighteen, then we'll see who gets the last laugh.' Twenty thought.
"That'll never happen so don't worry. You can't get passed us to your precious lab. You'll be destroyed before you can say 'die'," Gohan said. "Oh, and yes, I can read your every thought."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'That's weird. I don't recognize this android.' Trunks thought as he looked at the head of Android Nineteen. 'Perhaps more changed from my arrival here that previously thought. I better catch up with the others and warn them.'
Trunks quickly sped off until he arrived to find all of them surrounding another android he didn't recognize. Vegeta turned his attention to Trunks.
"I thought you said that these androids were difficult, brat. I don't see how you could have any difficulty defeating them."
"That's because these aren't the androids that are terrorizing my time."
"WHAT! What do you mean these aren't the same androids?"
"The ones form my timeline are different."
"Perhaps you could describe the androids so we'll know when we see them," Piccolo stated.
"Ok. One of them is a young male with black hair and blue eyes. He has a black shirt and always wears an orange bandana around his neck. The other is a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes in a jean skirt and sleeveless jean jacket," Trunks described. Vegeta started muttering under his breath about useless time travelers.
"Do those androids absorb energy as well?" Piccolo queried.
"No. They don't need to because they have more than enough."
They heard an engine roar indicating that a jet was coming. Their senses told them that it was Bulma. Everyone watched as a gleam came to Android Twenty's eyes. His eyes glowed momentarily before Bulma's jet exploded. Trunks growled when he saw that Vegeta wasn't helping her and flew to catch her. He was surprised when he didn't find her with a baby.
'Where is the baby Trunks? Shouldn't he be with her?'
"They haven't done it yet. I guess coming here either delayed or prevented it," Gohan remarked, reading Trunks's thoughts, conveniently forgetting to mention having told Vegeta what would happen.
Everyone returned their attention to Android Twenty, only to find that he had disappeared while they were distracted by Bulma's arrival.
"Smooth move, onna. You allowed the blasted android to get away," chastised Vegeta.
"I allowed? It's not my fault that you were distracted by my presence. But then again, who wouldn't be distracted by such beauty?" Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"Yeladot. Anii soneh otam," Vegeta muttered. (Girls. I hate them.)
"And that old android looked like Dr. Gero," Bulma commented.
"Who?" Goku asked.
"Dr. Gero, the leader of the red ribbon army. He's the scientific mind behind them."
"Oh. I guess we'll have to go find his lab then."
"Well, I know that the general area of Gero's lab is about seventy two miles southeast of here, but that's all I know," Bulma stated.
"Wonderful, he's probably gone to unleash the androids that are reigning terror in my time," Trunks said.
"Well, what are we wasting time around here for? Let's go find Dr. Gero and stop him form releasing the androids!" Yamcha exclaimed. Trunks and Vegeta immediately left to search for the androids.
"How's Bulma going to get home? Do you have another ride or something?" Goku asked.
"Actually, I left the rest of my capsules at my home. I didn't think that I would need any of them," Bulma admitted.
"Ok then. Gohan, why don't you take Bulma home."
"WHAT! Why should I have to take her home? Why don't you just send her home with Yamcha or Krillin? I'm stronger than they are. I would much rather get a chance to fight these androids then miss it for taking Bulma home."
"Gohan, just do it. We don't have time to waste arguing. You were always taught by your mother to listen to your elders, so what are you waiting for? Get going."
"No. I'm not going anywhere other that after Gero. If I have to take her then she's going to be there when we fight."
"Um... I could just take her home, Goku," Krillin offered.
"See? Krillin is offering to do it, why make me?"
"Yeah. Krillin can take me home Goku. It just can't be Yamcha or Piccolo," Bulma stated.
"I wanted Krillin here because he has more fighting experience than Gohan does. I figured he would be more helpful."
"Oh yeah. Krillin's fighting experience was a major asset to us back on Namek over my power," Gohan said sarcastically.
"No offense Goku, but Gohan's right. You're better off with his power over my experience."
"I've got a bad feeling about this, but okay. Krillin you can take Bulma home." Gohan growled lowly before taking off, followed by Piccolo, to find Android Twenty.
"What about me?" a voice called.
"Yajirobee? I didn't realize you were still here. I guess Krillin can take you back to the lookout." Krillin put Yajirobee on his back and put his arms around Bulma's waist and took off for Korin's Tower.
"Well, Goku. Let's go catch up to the others," Yamcha stated. With a nod from Goku, they took off after the androids.
It didn't take too long for Goku and Yamcha to catch up to everyone else. They all seemed to be floating over an area full of tall mountains and trees. They knew that, according to Bulma, Dr. Gero's lab should be somewhere around here, they just couldn't figure out where.
"Over there!" Gohan shouted, pointing at one of the nearby mountains. He stuck his tongue out at his father to prove that he was needed here.
They all flew over to the mountain and noticed a small cave inside of it. They went inside and came upon two steel doors.
"So, how do we get in?" Yamcha asked.
"How else? We blast our way in." Vegeta held up his hand and gathered energy. He released the blast, destroying the doors and leaving them in a cloud of heavy smoke.
When the smoke cleared, they saw Dr. Gero holding something rectangular with an antenna, a male android in a black shirt and blue pants with an orange bandana around his neck, and a female android with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a jean skirt and sleeveless jacket. Vegeta looked at Trunks expectantly.
"I trust these are the androids that you were warning us of?"
Trunks nodded. "The male is Android Seventeen and the female is Eighteen."
"Go destroy those intruders immediately!" Gero commanded.
"I don't feel like it, old man. I've got a better idea." Seventeen walked over to Gero and snatched the device from his hands. Seventeen crushed it in his hands before knocking Gero's head from off of his shoulders and squashing it. The twin androids turned their attention to the Z Warriors.
"Looks like it's time for a little fun," Seventeen remarked.
*************************************************
I hope that that was good enough for a brief viewing of Mirai Trunks's life with Goku as a mentor, not that there was much to write about.
I know that I made the battle with Android Nineteen short, but Nineteen is a weakling so it wouldn't take long. The only reason it did in the series is because Goku caught the heart virus and Vegeta was toying around to see if androids experienced fear.
I have delayed or prevented the birth of Trunks; only I know which. There's the explanation for why Bulma wasn't holding baby Trunks for those who bothered to wonder.
Yk Freak- it's not that I want you to do it; it's that you said that you would do it for every chapter, so I pointed out that you missed one.
The Vampire Story Hunter- sounds good. Could you send something explaining the characters and stuff of Tenchi Universe, I haven't seen it so I have little to no idea of what it's about.
Ian- Don't know enough about it to make a story. Could you tell me the basic plot and stuff about it?
chris- I don't intend to go into GT. I don't know enough of the plot.
Trunkszgirl- go right ahead and use it.
Luna's Meow- kill Exodia? Are you saying that I should make a Gohan duel monster card or something? Interesting...
GShans- That's too true. Gohan needs his intelligence to remain good. I think that idea would work, but I have other plans for instant transmission.
Elton John- Thanks. That idea sounds good to me. I'm going to try balancing the two stories. If it doesn't work, I'll just stick to this story for the most part unless I have a lot of extra time on my hands.

Everyone flew to the ground. They realized a major problem when they couldn't sense the energy levels of the two androids, making it difficult to find them. They split into groups of two and searched for the androids. They were to flare their energy twice if they found the androids.
Gohan was searching with his mentor, Piccolo. Piccolo stuck to the sky to avoid as much questioning by the citizens as possible.
Vegeta was grumbling to himself about searching with a human. Yamcha was trying to keep as much distance between himself and the arrogant prince as possible, while still keeping him in sight.
Goku and Krillin were looking around for anything. Krillin had to remind Goku a few times that this was a battle, not a time to eat.
Tien was, as usual, working with Choutzu. Choutzu was sending out telepathic signals to try and find those with destruction on their minds while sitting on Tien's shoulder. Tien was just walking around in a random direction. That was probably the reason they didn't notice the two figures standing on the roof of a six-story building.
"This one is identified as Tienshinhan," a high-pitched voice squeaked out. "He has a very low power level. The one on his shoulder is known as Emperor Choutzu. His power is even weaker, but has strong telepathic powers in an attempt to make up for lack of physical strength. Tienshinhan is Emperor Choutzu's body guard."
"Very good," an older, more normal voice commented. "We shall start with these two first. You can have the guardian, I'll restrain the emperor."
They quietly snuck down until they were behind their targets. The one with the high-pitched voice put his hand over Tien's mouth at the same time that his partner put a hand over Choutzu's. Both gasped in shock as they felt their energy being sucked out of them. They quickly flared their auras twice to alert the others of their position and location of the androids. They both passed out soon afterwards from lack of energy.
Gohan, being in super saiyan form, was the first one to arrive on the scene. He glanced nonchalantly at the two beings before him. One of them was short and fat. It wore a black pointy hat with the red-ribbon symbol on the front. Its entire body was a very pale white. It wore black pants and an orange shirt striped with black. It had a blue jewel in both of its hands.
The other one seemed more humanoid. Its skin was the same as anyone else's skin. It appeared to be just an old man with long white hair and wrinkles all over his face. His shirt and pants were the same as that of his companions, but his hat stood about a foot off the top of his head.
Gohan felt the others land behind him. He noticed that both of them payed particular interest in his father.
"The tall one with the black hair pointing in all directions is the one known as Goku," the short android stated.
"Very good, Nineteen. You have done well. Goku, I've been waiting for the day when I would meet you again. I'm still waiting to give you the revenge I promised so many years ago. I've been studying data on you for a long time and have gathered sufficient information to be stronger that you and your friends."
"Does your information include the trip we just took to Namek?" Piccolo asked.
"No. By then we had gathered sufficient information to predict the increase in strength that would be exhibited by all members of the group." Everyone had wide grins on their faces.
"Then you're sorely outclassed. We all have gained major power boosts since departing for Namek," Goku stated.
"This ought to be fun. Although I wish it could be more exciting if they only programmed it off of how weak they would be," Vegeta taunted. The old android looked at Android Nineteen with some confusion in his eyes.
"Nineteen, who is that male with the flame-shaped hair? I don't recall having records on him," he inquired.
Nineteen looked directly at Vegeta to try and identify him. They saw a lot of what appeared to be words and numbers flash through its eyes.
"There is no known information on that fighter," Nineteen proclaimed.
"That doesn't make sense; I should have data on all of Goku's allies."
Gohan smirked at him. "That depends. Were you using silver computer devices to collect data on us?"
"Yes I was, how did you know that?"
"That would explain why they don't know of Vegeta. I destroyed the insect that observed our fight with him, so Raditz is the last information he has on us." Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta got huge smirks on their faces while the others were relieved. This meant that these androids would be no trouble for them.
"Well then, if you want a piece of me, then come and get it. But first, we should go somewhere that doesn't have innocent people nearby to hurt," Goku said.
The old android frowned momentarily. His eyes flashed pink and he unleashed powerful beams from his eyes, destroying the remains of the people other than the Z Warriors.
"There. This island is now devoid of life so there is no one to interfere with the fight. Let us begin."
"How could you!?" Goku exclaimed. "I didn't mean like that. Let's go to an island that is clear of any building or anything. I'll lead the way."
"Very well then," the old android said. "Lead the way."
Everyone took flight, following wherever Goku was leading them. They flew for about twenty minutes before the androids tired of waiting.
"This is far enough. We shall do battle on the island down there. It suits your requirements as stated," the android announced. Everyone landed on the island, the androids on one side, everyone else behind Goku on the other.
Goku powered up with a thunderous yell. His aura surrounded him before turning gold. His hair shot upwards, looking like Vegeta's, and turned gold. His eyes became a fierce turquoise.
"Let's do this. Which one of you is going first?"
"Allow me to dispose of him, Twenty," Nineteen offered.
"You already gained the greater power from the power of the previous two, but go ahead," Twenty said.
Android Nineteen stepped forward. Goku did his usual stretches before settling in his fighter's stance. Nineteen bypassed getting into a fighter's stance and shot himself at Goku. The android sent punch after punch at Goku, most of which were dodged. Goku frowned wondering why the android wasn't going faster. Goku grabbed hold of the android's arm and roundhouse kicked him in the face, knocking his head off. Goku stared in shock at the body of Nineteen.
"Wow, that was too easy," Goku exclaimed. To make sure that it wouldn't attack, Goku fired a blast of energy, obliterating the body. He returned his attention to Twenty, to see that he was fleeing as fast as he could from the battlefield. Everyone gave chase after the android. They all surrounded him, preventing him from getting anywhere.
"What's the matter, scared are we?" Gohan taunted.
'This won't work. Their powers are too high. I must return to the lab and release Androids Seventeen and Eighteen, then we'll see who gets the last laugh.' Twenty thought.
"That'll never happen so don't worry. You can't get passed us to your precious lab. You'll be destroyed before you can say 'die'," Gohan said. "Oh, and yes, I can read your every thought."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'That's weird. I don't recognize this android.' Trunks thought as he looked at the head of Android Nineteen. 'Perhaps more changed from my arrival here that previously thought. I better catch up with the others and warn them.'
Trunks quickly sped off until he arrived to find all of them surrounding another android he didn't recognize. Vegeta turned his attention to Trunks.
"I thought you said that these androids were difficult, brat. I don't see how you could have any difficulty defeating them."
"That's because these aren't the androids that are terrorizing my time."
"WHAT! What do you mean these aren't the same androids?"
"The ones form my timeline are different."
"Perhaps you could describe the androids so we'll know when we see them," Piccolo stated.
"Ok. One of them is a young male with black hair and blue eyes. He has a black shirt and always wears an orange bandana around his neck. The other is a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes in a jean skirt and sleeveless jean jacket," Trunks described. Vegeta started muttering under his breath about useless time travelers.
"Do those androids absorb energy as well?" Piccolo queried.
"No. They don't need to because they have more than enough."
They heard an engine roar indicating that a jet was coming. Their senses told them that it was Bulma. Everyone watched as a gleam came to Android Twenty's eyes. His eyes glowed momentarily before Bulma's jet exploded. Trunks growled when he saw that Vegeta wasn't helping her and flew to catch her. He was surprised when he didn't find her with a baby.
'Where is the baby Trunks? Shouldn't he be with her?'
"They haven't done it yet. I guess coming here either delayed or prevented it," Gohan remarked, reading Trunks's thoughts, conveniently forgetting to mention having told Vegeta what would happen.
Everyone returned their attention to Android Twenty, only to find that he had disappeared while they were distracted by Bulma's arrival.
"Smooth move, onna. You allowed the blasted android to get away," chastised Vegeta.
"I allowed? It's not my fault that you were distracted by my presence. But then again, who wouldn't be distracted by such beauty?" Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"Yeladot. Anii soneh otam," Vegeta muttered. (Girls. I hate them.)
"And that old android looked like Dr. Gero," Bulma commented.
"Who?" Goku asked.
"Dr. Gero, the leader of the red ribbon army. He's the scientific mind behind them."
"Oh. I guess we'll have to go find his lab then."
"Well, I know that the general area of Gero's lab is about seventy two miles southeast of here, but that's all I know," Bulma stated.
"Wonderful, he's probably gone to unleash the androids that are reigning terror in my time," Trunks said.
"Well, what are we wasting time around here for? Let's go find Dr. Gero and stop him form releasing the androids!" Yamcha exclaimed. Trunks and Vegeta immediately left to search for the androids.
"How's Bulma going to get home? Do you have another ride or something?" Goku asked.
"Actually, I left the rest of my capsules at my home. I didn't think that I would need any of them," Bulma admitted.
"Ok then. Gohan, why don't you take Bulma home."
"WHAT! Why should I have to take her home? Why don't you just send her home with Yamcha or Krillin? I'm stronger than they are. I would much rather get a chance to fight these androids then miss it for taking Bulma home."
"Gohan, just do it. We don't have time to waste arguing. You were always taught by your mother to listen to your elders, so what are you waiting for? Get going."
"No. I'm not going anywhere other that after Gero. If I have to take her then she's going to be there when we fight."
"Um... I could just take her home, Goku," Krillin offered.
"See? Krillin is offering to do it, why make me?"
"Yeah. Krillin can take me home Goku. It just can't be Yamcha or Piccolo," Bulma stated.
"I wanted Krillin here because he has more fighting experience than Gohan does. I figured he would be more helpful."
"Oh yeah. Krillin's fighting experience was a major asset to us back on Namek over my power," Gohan said sarcastically.
"No offense Goku, but Gohan's right. You're better off with his power over my experience."
"I've got a bad feeling about this, but okay. Krillin you can take Bulma home." Gohan growled lowly before taking off, followed by Piccolo, to find Android Twenty.
"What about me?" a voice called.
"Yajirobee? I didn't realize you were still here. I guess Krillin can take you back to the lookout." Krillin put Yajirobee on his back and put his arms around Bulma's waist and took off for Korin's Tower.
"Well, Goku. Let's go catch up to the others," Yamcha stated. With a nod from Goku, they took off after the androids.
It didn't take too long for Goku and Yamcha to catch up to everyone else. They all seemed to be floating over an area full of tall mountains and trees. They knew that, according to Bulma, Dr. Gero's lab should be somewhere around here, they just couldn't figure out where.
"Over there!" Gohan shouted, pointing at one of the nearby mountains. He stuck his tongue out at his father to prove that he was needed here.
They all flew over to the mountain and noticed a small cave inside of it. They went inside and came upon two steel doors.
"So, how do we get in?" Yamcha asked.
"How else? We blast our way in." Vegeta held up his hand and gathered energy. He released the blast, destroying the doors and leaving them in a cloud of heavy smoke.
When the smoke cleared, they saw Dr. Gero holding something rectangular with an antenna, a male android in a black shirt and blue pants with an orange bandana around his neck, and a female android with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a jean skirt and sleeveless jacket. Vegeta looked at Trunks expectantly.
"I trust these are the androids that you were warning us of?"
Trunks nodded. "The male is Android Seventeen and the female is Eighteen."
"Go destroy those intruders immediately!" Gero commanded.
"I don't feel like it, old man. I've got a better idea." Seventeen walked over to Gero and snatched the device from his hands. Seventeen crushed it in his hands before knocking Gero's head from off of his shoulders and squashing it. The twin androids turned their attention to the Z Warriors.
"Looks like it's time for a little fun," Seventeen remarked.
*************************************************
I hope that that was good enough for a brief viewing of Mirai Trunks's life with Goku as a mentor, not that there was much to write about.
I know that I made the battle with Android Nineteen short, but Nineteen is a weakling so it wouldn't take long. The only reason it did in the series is because Goku caught the heart virus and Vegeta was toying around to see if androids experienced fear.
I have delayed or prevented the birth of Trunks; only I know which. There's the explanation for why Bulma wasn't holding baby Trunks for those who bothered to wonder.
