A/N: Shoutout to my brother for letting me use his laptop to write longer chapters for my fanfiction. Longer chapters incoming! Please read and review!
West City
The first thing Trunks and Android 18 saw was a petite figure with long blonde hair sitting with their backs to them. The figure turned around and Trunks couldn't believe who he was seeing! Android 18 was sitting at his dining room table and standing next to him! This Android 18 was different than the one from his time! Her face was scarred and she was missing an eye. Trunks jaw hung down. Android 18 could only stare back. This person was her but not really..
Future Android 18 was the first to speak. "Hello Trunks! Its been years since I saw you alive and well"
Trunks spoke up. "what are you doing here? who are you? where did you come from?"
"I am Android 18. I come from 20 years in the future. Your mother in that timeline built a time machine to travel and warn you of a terrible tragedy!" Future Android 18 spoke to Trunks and Bulma and Android 18!
Present 18 spoke up as she came closer to Future Android 18. She ran her hands across the scars across her counterparts face. They were deep and meaningful. Clearly her future counterpart had been through some sort of ordeal. It was like looking into a scarred mirror. Her one eye was a mix of deep emotions! "What happened to you?" Present 18 asked to her counterpart.
Future 18 sat down at the table and invited the rest of the gang to have a seat as well!
The other three sat down and 18 started explaining her story.
"It starts in two years when he arrives from out of nowhere! We had no idea where he came from or how he got out of hell. It was that damn Dr Gero at it again!"
"Gero" Trunks, 18 and Bulma in unison and anger!
Future 18 nodded grimly. "He managed to escape hell with Android 17! You trunks tried to fight him in vain. He killed you easily. He was stronger than ever before! Trunks had just returned from the past and he gave me another chance like he did in this timeline! I tried to avenge Trunks death but could never make a dent in 17s armor!"
Trunks tried to process what was being said. This android came from a timeline where Android 17 returned from the dead and wreaked havoc on the earth once again.
"How many people did he kill?''
"Many died Trunks. Many. Too many to count. Whatever progress that came after android 17 was killed along with Cell and Android 18 changed her ways was quickly erased. They were monsters Trunks! Pure evil. The survivors all moved into an underground facility headed By You Bulma!
"I trained for years on a desolate planet but could never match 17s massive power surge. And after 17 destroyed Trunks time machine Bulma spent years slaving away at a computer and gathering supplies to build a new one so I can come warn you about Android 17s threat."
A single tear slid down Future 18s cheek. "The bulma from my time found out the coordinates for new namek and planned to make a trip to revive Trunks but died of a broken heart before she could make the journey."
Bulma couldn't believe what she was hearing. Even after they secured peace and safety they still weren't safe.
"How long before he arrives? Is there anyway to stop this" 18 spoke up. She couldn't believe her brother from another timeline was given a second chance at life and went back to his old ways. What a rotten person. She wished she could slap him across his rotten evil face!
"There is nothing we can do to stop it. Not that I know of. Before Trunks was killed he mentioned training in the time chamber like he did in the past. He will arrive in two years!."
"Thats it!" Trunks said. "I will start training in the time chamber. Assuming it wasn't destroyed in this timeline!"
"I want to train too." Present Android 18 said! "Please I want to help defeat my evil brother"
"Very well!" Trunks said smiling. "What about you?" Trunks said to Future Android 18. "will you stay or will you go back to your timeline?"
Future 18 just smiled. "I don't have anything to return to. 17 is still alive in that timeline. He would kill me if he knew I was still alive"
"There must be a way to stop him there" Trunks said!
"Bulmas eyes lit up "The remote!"
She got up and went into the living room before returning with a small gray colored remote with a big red button in the middle.
18s eyes got wide. "How did you get that?" Clearly recognizing the remote. The same remote gero used to control her and 17 when they were held captive by that mad scientist.
"Trunks bought it with him when he returned from the past! I made it in another timeline"
"Use this to shut 17 down for good." Bulma said to future android 18 as she handed her the remote!
"Bless you Bulma" Future 18 said as the three pondered the future ahead!
