Chapter 1: Universal Hope
Deep in the confines of Capsule Corp., large booms can be heard. The noise sounds as if one of Bulma's contraptions exploded; however, the noise was clearly coming from the west wing, the complete opposite direction of Bulma's lab.
The only thing in that direction from which the noise came is the Gravity Room. The only thing that can be seen in the room is a blur of gold zipping back and forth across the chamber.
"I must continue, if I plan on reaching the level that Gohan reached in the past."
He managed to let those words escape his lips as he continued to breathe heavily.
"Well I think that you're pretty strong for the level that you're at, Trunks".
"Okasaan!"
Was all that he could say due to the fact that he was completely shocked by her presence.
"For a minute there you looked just like your father."
"Mom, I am nothing like my father!"
As he responded to her comment, his face was filled with disgust. The only thing that was running through his mind was, 'How could she compare me to that man? He was a self-centered arrogant jerk who only cared about himself.' Trunks quickly had to retract that last statement, for it was that same man who went berserk when Cell had taken his life. Although he did not see it, he heard it from just about all of the Z fighters.
"Why do you say I'm like Otousan?"
"Well, for several reasons; both of you had childhood's that even adults shouldn't be subjected too, both lost those you loved, and the two of you are determined to reach your goal. I remember when Vegeta was training to become a Super Saiya-jin, he tried so hard and his training was not that much different from yours. Only difference is that you have the common sense to know when you can no longer go on, but Vegeta, he trained until he passed out."
After her last words there was complete silence between the two. Bulma prepared to tell Trunks her reason for interrupting his training
"Oh Trunks, the real reason I'm here is to tell you I'm going to the store, and then I'm heading over to see Chi Chi. Do you want anything from the store?"
"Can you please bring me back some cookies, chips, and a soda would be nice."
"Trunks, you need to stop eating all that junk, it's going to give you cavities!"
"I know mom."
"Well, I'm off. Bye sweetie, don't hurt yourself"
As she exited the GR she looked back to smile at her little boy who was now a man. Words can't describe how proud she was of him.
***************************************
In the south galaxy, on a purplish green planet, screams from the aliens who make up the planet can be heard. *BOOOOOOOOM!!!!*
"Stop!! Please, spare me. Don't kill me I'll do whatever you pleeassseee NOOOOOOOOO!"
A ki blast pierces through the heart of an alien with wild green hair, purple eyes, white Cat-like ears, a long tail, and Egyptian tone skin.
A girl who looks to be no older than twenty with tan skin, long purple hair, and sky blue eyes, who could pass for human minus the bat-like ears and the cat like tail. Witnessing the nearby massacre of her people, the young lady devises a plan that will get her to the S.A.C (Space Aviation Center) unharmed.
Knowing that all hope for he people was lost, she still had hope for revenge and getting back at this psychotic mad man who had killed her people without any reason. If her father's stories were true, the universe's only hope of stopping this mad man lie on a planet in the north galaxy; a planet called Earth.
After running through the cities underground system away from harm, she finally arrived at her destination. As she approached the ship, a young boy about ten years of age with white hair, purple eyes, and the exact same features that the girl had, came from behind the large vessel.
"Please, miss, don't leave me here. Take me with you, I have nothing left."
Looking down at the boy she could see he wasn't too far from tearing up. Judging by his facial expression, he had lost everything close and dear to him.
Her only response was "Ok, but we must get going now."
Both the young lady and the child entered the space ship that was built to occupy at least 1,000.
"Starting engines Take Off in T minus 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1, Launch!"
The ship lifted off of the ground and blazed towards the depths of space. The young woman sighed in relief.
"Ok we're in the clear and out of harms way, kid."
Looking up with a said expression, he asked, "Where will we go know?"
"Well, we're heading to a planet called Earth."
"Earth...what?"
"Earth, it is a planet in the northern Galaxy. It is where the only hope for the universe lies."
"What might this hope be, miss?"
She looked at the boy with a slight a grin, "A Super Saiya-jin. The universe's hope depends on him stopping this mad man; for if he can't everyone is doomed. By the way kid, what is your name?"
"My name is Aioshi"
"If you don't mind me asking miss, what is your name?"
"Thalia, but you can call me Lia."
*************************************
Trunks is mediating in the grassy back yard of the huge compound. Observing his features, he is completely focused and deep into meditation.
"I don't know how you did it Gohan; you showed us all that there was another level beyond super Saiya-jin. One that balances agility, power, and speed without sacrificing one for the other. I must figure out a way to reach it. I am the only one left now. I lost Gohan already because I wasn't strong enough; I will not loss my mother because I was too weak to be there for her like I was for Gohan."
A tear escapes Trunks eye and slides down his left cheek. As he close his eyes he starts to remember his childhood with Mirai Gohan.
-FLASHBACK -
"Trunks, Stop trying so hard, you can't transform by raising your ki to its max. You need anger and pure hatred to break the barrier. When that time arrives, lose yourself in the moment and throw thought and care out the window."
"Gohan I need to get stronger. Those damn androids are destroying everything we love."
With his fists clenched and a look of pure hate on his face, Trunks looked like he was about to explode.
The sun started to set over West Capital City. Even with the destruction of the city before them, sunsets seemed to be the only thing that had not been damaged by the androids. Lying on the ground, relaxing after their current training session, Gohan turns to look at Trunks.
"Trunks, can you promise me something?"
"Sure Gohan, anything."
The serious look on Gohan's faced worried Trunks dearly.
"Promise me if I die fighting the androids, you will destroy them and defend the earth to the best of your abilities."
"Gohan don't talk like that, your not going to die; remember Gohan we're going to destroy them together. You, Mom, Miss Chi Chi, the people of earth, and me are going to live in peace once their gone."
Gohan's serious look turned into a smile to lighten the mood.
"Your right Trunks, when it's all over everyone will live in peace."
-END FLASHBACK -
Trunks breaks free from the flashback with his head tilted and eyes gazing at the floor.
"Gohan, no matter what I will protect this earth even if I lose my life doing so. I made a promise to you that I would and intend on keeping it."

Back on the planet in the south galaxy
"Humph. These fools didn't even put up a fight. After I'm done with this section of the universe my next step will be to destroy the only one who poses a threat; KAKAROTT, YOUR NEXT! We will find out who truly is the Legendary Super Saiya-jin! HAH HA HA!"
Laughter was all that could be heard from the extremely big warrior with bulky muscles, no shirt, and a purple cloth draped over his white sweats. The features that clearly stood out were the golden jewelry he adorns, but the two most unusual features were his blond spiky hair and a tail that rapped completely around his waste.
"I am the devil in the flesh; I am Brolly, the universe's end! HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
