Intermission Saga part 1: Preparation
King Cold was finally dead, at last and the Cold family is now gone forever.
Now that King Cold was dead, everyone turned and looked at Trunks. None of them knew who Trunks was and everyone was curious to who he was as he was a random stranger who just miraculously transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Vegeta walked over to Trunks and yelled,''Kid, who are you!?'',questioned a very curious and jealous Vegeta. Trunks shook his head and said,''I told you! I can't tell you until your ready to be told!'',complained Trunks.
''Why You..'',trailed off Vegeta in supressed anger.
So after that everyone looked at him with anxious looks on their faces when he suddenly flew over to Son Goku.
''Hey man, may I talk to you in private?'',politely asked Trunks. Goku put a hand to his chin and then scratched his head,''Well sure I don't see a problem with that.'',answered Goku.
Trunks nodded and he flew off far enough to where no one but Piccolo could hear their private conversation.
''So let me start off by saying that my name is Trunks and I am not from this timeline but in fact, from the future.'',Trunks frowned.
''Well hello so tell me how are you a Super Saiyan'',Goku looked on in curiosity.
''Well you know that there are only three Saiyans left in the universe, well i got mine from him'',Trunks ponted at Vegeta. Goku looked very shocked to say the least.
''Vegeta is your FATHER!? Oh my gosh, Vegeta is father''blurted out Goku in pure shock.
''Well who is your mother? Do I know her?'',asked an ever more curious Goku.
Trunks pointed to Bulma and replied,''She's standing over there''.
Goku literally fell on his back from shock and busted out laughing in hysterics. ''Wow! Bulma and Vegeta! Who would've thought!'',blurted out an excited Goku.
''Also, Gohan had a daughter named Pan who never saw either of her parents due to the androids!'',slightly yelled Trunks in frustration.
''Wow, Gohan also has a daughter?'',question Goku.
Trunks calmed down Goku and calmly told him,''Yes Goku, but that's not what I'm here to tell you'',calmed down Trunks.
Goku caught the vibe and put back on his serious face,''Okay, so tell em, what happens'',said Goku.
Trunks sighed and blurted out,''In three years from now, May 12th, 10:00 a.m at South City, two diabolical androids attack'',said a gloomy Trunks.
Goku's brows then narrowed at hearing what Trunks had to say next,''We tried to fight them, but inevitably we failed. One by one the androids killed us. Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien and Yamcha were the first to fall'',gloomily said Trunks.
''The only survivors were me, Gohan and my mother who was pregnant with my baby sister'', continued Trunks.
''Gohan told me many things about you and everyone else and he trained me to become a great fighter. He even became strong enough to destroy an android in a one on one fight!'',said Trunks.
Goku looked proud but Trunks continued the dire story,''However, in one battle to save me he lost his left arm. When he was hurt and the androids were attacking, he knocked me out, so I wouldn't follow him and went to battle the androids! However, he wasn't so lucky that time and ended up getting killed, saving me!'',slightly yelled Trunks as he involuntarily powered up to Super Saiyan in anger.
''That's how I became a Super Saiyan and then I tried to fight the androids. I however, was easily defeated and thrown aside!'',blurted out Trunks in frustration. Goku's face looked grim and battle hardened.
''So what happens to me? Don't I help them'',asked Goku. Trunks face went even sadder as he said,''No, you die before it!'',grimly stated Trunks.''We don't know how you got it, but a heart virus that not even a Super Saiyan can beat killed you!''
Goku then pouted and whined,''Aww man, I get killed by a stupid heart virus, I want to fight them!'',complained Goku.
Trunks looked on in wonder and asked,''After what I told you, you still want to fight them?!'',asked Trunks.
''Well yeah, I am a little afraid, but maybe I can make a difference!'',replied Goku.
Trunks looked on in astonishment and said,''You really are amazing, here take this man'',handed the medicine Trunks.
Goku took it and said,''Thanks Trunks'',thanked Goku.
''I believe you can change the future Goku, and I should be back in this time to train with you guys since there are more than one Super Saiyans to train with'',stated Trunks.
Trunks threw his Time machine capsule and it released smoke, revealing his time machine. Trunks jumped in and closed the hatch. His pod shot up to the sky and he waved his hand, especially to Vegeta, Gohan and Bulma.
Then suddenly, his time machine vanished back to his time period of ruin and despair. Goku then flew back to the group.
Gohan was the first one to ask a question,''What did he say daddy?'',asked Gohan. Goku rubbed a hand threw his hair and ruffled it up a bit. ''Well he said that in three years time, two androids attack at 10:00 a.m at South City'',explained Goku.
Piccolo stepped in and stated,''Well, if you want to live in the future, train as hard as you can for the upcoming apocalypse and be there'',finalized Piccolo.
Everyone nodded and Bulma then came up with a suggestion,''How about we destroy the androids before they can awaken'',suggested Bulma.
''NO! You Cowards! How could you come up with such a suggestion?! If you do that, I'll kill you!'',yelled Vegeta. Vegeta then shot off into the sky to start training.
''Aren't you with me Goku!?'',pleaded Bulma. Goku looked on and replied,''I'm with Vegeta on this one, I want to fight them plus they haven't done anything wrong yet''.
Bulma just walked away into her jet copter and fired off away from the battle field.
Gohan walked up to Goku and said,''I think we should get going so we can begin training as well,dad'',suggested Gohan. Goku nodded and out his hand on Gohan's shoulder, looking him in the eye.
Gohan winced a little but shrugged it off and let it naturally heal on his arm. ''I'm very proud of how far you've come Gohan'',told the boys father.
Goku then looked up to Piccolo and said,''Do you wanna train with us?'',asked Goku to Piccolo. Piccolo looked stoic and then replied,''Sure''.
Meanwhile, Gohan walked over to the near dead, but paralyzed Krillin and carefully slung him over his shoulder. ''Don't worry Krillin, I got you'',assured Gohan as he carried him towards Goku.
Goku looked at the battlefield and saw three corpses on the ground. Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha so he said aloud,''We need to go to Planet Namek to wish them back and have Dende heal Krillin''.
''Dad, you've had enough space travel, me and Piccolo will go when Bulma has a ship ready for us'',said Gohan. Goku nodded and thought that since Gohan was a Super Saiyan, not many things in the universe can harm him.
At Capsule Corporation:
Vegeta was in the Gravity Room just training very hard to surpass Goku.
Bulma meanwhile was trying to find New Planet Namek so they can revive the others, however it was so far away that it was out of reach. Bulma and her co workers were searching very hard.
Gohan had visited and walked towards Bulma. ''So, have you found New Namek yet?'',asked Gohan. Bulma shook her head, and her eyes looked cranky.
''I've been searching for days, but with our radar I just can't find it!'',complained Bulma.
''When our space vessels find the planet, our calculations predict that we won't have the location until a year go's by'',finalized Bulma.
Gohan had his head down and he said,''Well. we'll wait a year if we have to, thanks Bulma'',said Gohan as he exited the office and went flying off to train in his newly acquired gravity room from Bulma.
In the GR:
Gohan had flew back to his home and then walked to the backyard so he can start training. He threw the capsule out to the ground and the gravity room appeared. Gohan walked into it and saw that inside were little hand prints where you could fight a clone of yourself.
''Woah, Bulma has really out done herself this time'',marveled Gohan at the training equipment.
He then put his left hand on the finger print clone creator and a couple minutes later, a clone appeared right next to the control center.
Gohan jumped back in shock and powered up. ''Transform into a Super Saiyan!'',demanded the real Gohan. The dummy did as told and transformed into a
Super Saiyan.
The real Gohan walked towards the control center and pressed the gravity control button. He kept pressing until he got up to 350x Earth's gravity, and instantly the room turned blood red and Gohan hunched over.
Gohan smirked to hismelf and mumbled,''Now that's more like it''. The real Gohan stood straight up and commanded,''Come at me!'',to the dummy.
The dummy righted himself back and shot forward at amazing speed, catching Gohan of guard.
Gohan tensed up for the blow, however the blow came from the back of Gohan which sent him stumbling forward. The dummy then flew up and gather immense amount of ki into his palms.
The dummy then put his hands forward and shot off the energy blasts at him like wild fire. Gohan warped away from the blast zone and behind the dummy. He prepared to hammer the dummy down, when the dummy turned around and elbowed Gohan in the gasped in pain and spit out some blood mixed with saliva.
The Super dummy then blazed upwards past Gohan and then roundhouse kicking him face first into the gravity room walls.
Gohan stuck his arms out and caught himself before he reached the wall. The clone rocketed towards Gohan with a fist raised and ready to connect with Gohan's head. A split second before the dummy could get there, Gohan warped away and flew back towards the clone.
The clone turned around to see Gohan's foot crash into its mouth, sending him back like a foot. Gohan then fired another punch at the clone, but it caught Gohan's fist before he could connect.
Gohan was socked in the face, rendering blood from his mouth. The clone then then threw Gohan into the gravity chamber walls, crashing into them. Gohan pulled himself back out with teal eyes replacing his usual onyx eyes.
''I can't let him win!'',yelled Gohan as he fired off towards the clone once more and caught his fists. Both of them were struggling for dominance but Gohan was losing to his clone.
The clone then punched Gohan very hard in the gut, making Gohan throw up more blood. Gohan hit the ground and blocked a drop kick from the clone, but not without bruising his forearm.
The clone then watched as Gohan struggled to get up and launched a fist at Gohan's chest forcing him back. The clone suddenly appeared above Gohan and hammered him down, making his head throb in pain.
Gohan struggled to pull himself up and golden lighting formed around him,''I must get STRONGER THAN THIS!'',shouted Gohan as he pushed his base form beyond the maximum in power.
Gohan dashed at clone Gohan once more and rocketed his fist into the clones nose, breaking it. The clone took a step back and charged up a beam in his right hand to finish the fight.
Gohan saw this so he caught the blast and warped it along with himself behind the clone. Gohan then let the blast loose, effectively making the beam hit its former wielder.
The clone stumbled forward but turned around quick enough to jab the real Gohan in the face, sending him back. Gohan slid across the floor, leaving it wet with sweat and blood.
The clone stood up waiting for Gohan to stand up as well. Gohan stood up very unbalanced and threw up some more blood. Gohan then vanished as the clone dashed towards him. When Gohan thought he was safe, the clone was right behind him and was hit very hard to the back of the head. The clone then dashed in front of Gohan and let Gohan's momentum lead Gohan into his elbow.
Gohan's torso the elbow and was rendered breathless. The clone turned around and punched Gohan in the forehead bruising him. The blow jerked Gohan's head back and had him hit the floor. His body was covered in scratches and blood was coming from the bruises. He was soaked in sweat from the intense beating and the gravity he was fighting under. Gohan groggily stood up and saw his clone, smirking with his arms folded across his chest.
Gohan suddenly saw his mother getting killed in front of his eyes. He also saw his father being impaled through the stomach by an android that looked like robots.
''NO!'',hollered Gohan as he lost it and transformed into a Super Saiyan. He then thought that his clone was the android and relentlessly charged it with the intention of killing him.
Gohan's fist rocketed forwards with so much speed that the clone couldn't even blink before it was knocked to the wall.
The clone banged up against the wall and counter Gohan's right fist by swatting it aside. Gohan then jumped over its low kick and kneed the clone in the face, staggering him back.
The clone backed up and Gohan was right behind it with an elbow to the back. The clone was sent forwards again, but it stopped itself before it could impact the wall.
The real Gohan put one hand in front of the other and war cried,''Masenko HAAAAA!'',yelled Gohan as his Masenko raged on forward.
The copy retaliated and formed its own Masenko mimicking Gohan. The two blasts collided, but with Gohan's temporary state of mind, Gohan's Masenko came out dominant forcing its way back to the clone.
The copy, mimicked Gohan's mind set and put more energy into his own beam, evening it out again. The beams were at a stalemate with neither giving an inch in collision.
Gohan's mind set suddenly went back to normal and he thought to himself,'Whew, that was close, I almost totally lost it'.
Then a light bulb turned on in Gohan's head and he instantly warped behind the copy Gohan and let the copies blast over take his own. ''NOVA COMBINATION!'',shouted Gohan as he kicked the clone in the back sending it forward.
Gohan warped in front of the clone and landed an uppercut to the clones jaw, sending it spiraling upwards. Gohan then warped upwards to where the clone was going and hammered him down to the ground.
The clone hit the ground hard and gritted its fake teeth as it stood back up on to hear Gohan's voice shouting,''NOVA BURST!'',using his own original technique to finish off his clone.
The clone reacted to late and felt itself being vaporized into nothing by the navy blue beam. The beam then exploded which in fact, destroyed the whole gravity room in general, blowing it up to ash and junk.
Gohan was back to his normal form, in the middle of the whole impact, scarred with bumps, bruises and scratches littered everywhere on his body. His gi was ripped in half and his pants were cut up.
He had blood running down from his forehead, nose and jaw. Overall, his training for today was mainly for endurance and sparring. At the moment, he was nearly unconscious and his eyes showed fatigue in the hyper Super Saiyan.
Chi Chi heard the big boom that shook Mount Paozu and decided to check it out. She saw Gohan in the middle of some rubble and a crater. ''Oh my precious baby!'',called out a concerned mother.
She jumped over all of the rubble and tried to pick up her son. To her, he was very heavy not from size but from muscle mass. Gohan already had a four pack and at seven years old.
Eventually, Chi Chi was able to sling Gohan over her shoulder and carry him back home on her back.
When they reached the door, Goku was busy eating when he saw Gohan's condition and asked,''What happened to him Chi Chi?'',asked Goku like any other question in the world.
''Why don't you get off your ass and stop being a lazy parent! You are Gohan's father now act like it!'',screamed Chi Chi.
Those words hit home, but they didn't phase Goku on his appearance. ''I've been trying to, but all you want him to do is study instead of save the world!'',complained Goku.
Chi Chi shook his head and yelled angrily,''What is he going to do if he continues to be a meat head, huh? He'll never make it in life! Besides Goku, you keep throwing him into danger when he's only a little boy!'',shouted Chi Chi.
Goku stepped back a little but resolved himself.''I was dead trying to save him from my big brother. You tell me I'm being a lazy parent, when I went from the after life and back to save him. Plus look at him, he's not a baby any more, he's becoming a great warrior.''calmly stated Goku at the end of his statement.
Chi Chi then got very sad and cried on Goku's shoulder,''I just don't want our kid to get killed when those androids come! I'm afraid that he might die at their hands, Goku!'',weeped Chi Chi.
Instead of acting like an irresponsible parent, Goku wrapped his right arm around her, hugging her warmly and lovingly.
''I know Chi Chi, I know...'',calmed Goku. Chi Chi then dried her tears and said,''Promise me Goku, promise me you will not let Gohan die or ever abandon us!'',blurted out Chi Chi.
Goku replied warmly and said,''I promise'',replied Goku as he kissed his wife on the lips.
''NO!'',came a voice from on the couch. It was Gohan and he continued,''If I die,then it'll be my fault and my fault alone! Dad won't be the cause and I will protect Earth no matter what you say mom!'',defiantly yelled Gohan.
Chi Chi then gave Gohan the stern look and yelled like any parent would to their child,''NO SIR! You are banned from training until your father defeats the androids! I will not tolerate such disrespect!'',shouted an angry mother.
This set Gohan off as he turned into a Super Saiyan from anger and frustration alone. ''All you can even think about is studying, what about the world for a change huh?'',his aura intensified.
''I will continue to train whether you like it or not! I will be ready for those androids and fight alongside my father!''. Gohan continued and hollered,''In the future we are supposed to die so what do you care about more? Studying or the life of your family!'',hollered Gohan for the last time as he wrapped himslef up in bandages and went to his room. He then shut the door so hard the hinges broke off.
Goku didn't want to get in between it all because he knew that if he did, then Chi Chi would've killed him. Chi Chi continued to stare on like she had seen a ghost and then fainted with tears in her eyes.
Goku picked her up bridal style and carried her into their room and let her down. He then walked to Gohan's room and said,''Calm down Gohan, you're over reacting. I know you want to protect the Earth and all, and you can, but don't get mad at Chi Chi, she just wants you to succeed in life''.
Gohan replied,''I know, but she cares too much about me studying then saving the world'',grumbled Gohan. Goku then looked at Gohan and said,''Don't worry about that, besides don't you want to meet a other people for a change, like that Videl girl that comes over from time to time...''Goku trailed off and gave Gohan the look of deviousness.
Gohan's tense face turned into one of embarrassment as he slightly bushed,''Dad, were just friends plus I'm too young to be thinking like that'',complained Gohan.
Goku replied,''Sure...,but anyways you can be more than just a fighter and don't worry, I will never abandon you guys unless its a very critical reason'',assured Goku as he patted Gohan's shoulder.
Gohan then smiled and said,''Thank you for saying that dad'',thanked a cheerful Gohan.
''No problem kiddo''',replied Goku as he rubbed his hand through Gohan's hair, making it a look a little messy as he left Gohan's room to go console Chi Chi and go to sleep.
20 years in the future:
Trunks had returned to his original timeline to tell his mother that he was going back to the past for further training to defeat the androids.
Trunk's boots touched onto the ground and he looked at the carnage and destruction that had happened since he was gone. He went inside of the capsule corp building to see the androids waiting for him with his mother held up by her neck, struggling to get some air. This is exactly what Trunks feared would happen if he was gone.
''Oh look sis, the coward is back'',mocked android 17 who was suffocating Bulma. Android 18 laughed and replied,''Yeah it looks like he is, well how lucky are we, we get to kill two birds in one stone''.
Trunks gritted his teeth and yelled,''You bastards, unhand my mother'',yelled Trunks as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.
''Whatever you say tough guy'',smirked 17 as he took both hands and squeezed Bulma's head and then twisting.
However, before she died, she yelled,''Save yourself...'',trailed off Bulma as 17 cracked her neck, thus ending the life of the smartest and richest woman on Earth.
''Boo hoo'',taunted android 18 as he saw Trunks broken down into tears. ''DAMN YOU!'',screamed Trunks as he flew towards 17 with unbelievable speeds. 17 smirked and caught Trunks fist.
''You know, you are really becoming a pest how about we kill you, right 18?'',asked 17. ''Yes, 17'',nodded 18 as she dashed behind Trunks, kneeing him in the back.
Trunks screamed in agony then 17 punched Trunks in the jaw, giving it a bruise. Trunks backed away and 18 kicked him in the face sending him backwards, rolling amongst the Capsule Corp ruins.
Trunks got back up and saw the two maniacal androids approach him. ''I'm going to die aren't I? Well go ahead and finish it!'',demanded Trunks as he looked down in frustration.
''You want us to kill you?'',asked 17. Trunks just sat there looking at the ground with a tense look on his face. ''Well that would be our pleasure'',grinned 18 as she and her twin brother both charged up a combined ki blast to finish off Trunks once and for all.
Then the duo fired off the beam and it roared on leaving destruction in its wake going towards its intended target, Trunks. Suddenly, Trunks was moved away by Pan, Gohan's four year old daughter from the future.
''Pan! What're you doing here, run while you can!'',screamed a frustrated Trunks.
Pan stood firm and defiantly stated,''No more running, the androids will eventually find me anyway and kill me off!'',defiantly remarked a stubborn Trunks. Trunks shook his head and transformed back into a Super Saiyan.
''Well, you should've brought Bra with you so we could have a better chance at living to see another day!'',shouted a frustrated Trunks to Pan.
Pan shrugged her shoulders and replied,''I don't know where she is!'',retorted Pan. Trunks face then tensed up as he saw the duo begin to approach them. He narrowed his eyes and looked at them with hatred.
''So the little tyke shows up as well, eh?'',stated 17. ''It appears so'',contemplated 18.
''Oh yeah, didn't we kill her father four years ago?'',questioned 17. 18 nodded and then smirked,''Well I guess she's going to see her daddy soon, won't she''.
''Don't talk about my father!'',yelled Pan in retaliation as she dashed towards 18. Trunks charged 17 and the four of them began combat. 18 swatted Pan away like nothing and pressed on towards Trunks.
Trunks blocked a couple lows from 17 but 18 kicked him threw the wall into another building.
Pan got back up and coughed up dust,''What would daddy or grandpa do?'',asked Pan to herself.
