The Saiyan with the hunted future
-Almond city, 13:32-
It was a rainy day in Almond city; it was a day that the world lost its one remaining hero; that was the day that Son Gohan died.
He laid outside in the streets submerged in a puddle of mud and his own blood, his eyes having lost their spark, his heart having stopped beating, he laid there alone with no one to spend his final moments with, that was the end of a hero that gave so much and received so little.
"Gohan!" a shout was heard in the lifeless streets as thunder was heard in the background, "Gohan!" the shouting came closer as the shadows of the once great buildings were cast on the cold, wet and lifeless streets.
"Gohan?" a voice was heard across the street barely above a whisper as footsteps were heard coming closer and closer until a boy no older than fourteen was standing in front of the fallen hero.
"Gohan? What have they done to you? You were my brother and they took you away" the boy said in a soft voice dropping to his knees as tears started to emerge from his baby blue eyes, the only thing that could be heard in the young boy's mind was the voice of his dead mentor, remembering how he treat him as a brother, and taught him the way of the warrior.
What once were memories that gave warmth to one's heart became nothing more than a numbing sensation that rocked the body to its core, and with it came sadness, anger and desperation, funnelled out with a scream that not even the great thunder above could silence, as the boy clenched his fists strong enough to break the skin and draw blood. His lavender hair started to flash gold, his muscles started to tense and expand and with one desperate scream that shocked the heavens the boy transformed, vowing to avenge his brother.
As the boy found his strength again he picked up his mentor on his back and with one long sigh he flew to his house feeling nothing but void that threatened to consume his young heart that witnessed too many horrors in his time.
-Capsule corporation, Bulma's lab-
Bulma - just like she did for the last eight years - sat in front of her computer working on her project, but not just any project because in Bulma's mind it was supposed to be their one and only chance of salvation 'damn, the numbers just don't add up, no matter what I do the blasted machine won't affect our history but someone else's' the brunette thought to herself as she took a sip from her coffee mug.
Suddenly the door to her lab opened violently as her only son, Trunks, went to one of her desks and with a swift move of his hands cleared the table and put the body of his mentor atop it.
"Trunks!" screamed Bulma as she saw him still in his super saiyan form in amazement until she saw the carcass of a man in his twenties that she knew since he was nothing but a toddler, still full with innocence and hope on her table, tears immediately started to emerge and she put her hands on her mouth. She saw her friend that she viewed as her son torn apart body lying on her table looking at her, wide lifeless eyes staring into her very soul as if judging her past actions.
"Mom, please help me" Trunks yelled at her, holding the head of Gohan to his chest as Bulma could only stand in shock of what she was witnessing "Mom! Please save him!" again screamed Trunks as tears fell from his eyes still in denial thinking that his mother could save someone that was already gone.
"Trunks, come here baby" said Bulma as she looked at the state of her son coming towards him trying with all her strength to separate him from Gohan's body.
"shhhh, it's ok" Bulma said as she rubbed Trunks back while giving him a hug, as he gently put Gohan's head back on the table and his hair returned to its original lavender color as he returned the hug and for the next half an hour the only thing he could mutter between his sobs was "I'm sorry".
When it was all over and Trunks had fallen asleep in Bulma's arms like he did when he was still a small child, she could do nothing but stare at the lifeless body of her friend. She put Trunks in her chair and then walked to the table and when she looked at his face she sow the same thing she had witnessed many times ago with him and his father, hope.
She put one of her hands gently on Gohan's face like he could shatter at any moment and weak smile started to come as she remembered through his face all the adventures she went through with him and his father, tears started to come from her eyes and suddenly something clicked in her mind, 'Kami knows he deserves it'
She returned to her lab and took a syringe and with that she drew some blood from the body, she returned to her computer and put the blood sample in a little tube that opened up beside the keyboard and started to type, and pictures of places of the world and from Namek ran through the screen of her computer and with one last tear that emerged from her eyes, a syringe with greenish substance came out from the same tub she put Gohan's blood in.
'Gohan this is for you' she took the syringe and stabbed it into one of Gohans veins and a couple of minutes later all the wounds on his body started to close themselves, bones could be heard putting themselves back into their proper place and green energy bolts started to jump out from every part of his body.
Bulma quickly returned to her computer and started to record herself "Gohan, if you are hearing this then that means it…" when she was finished she took the remaining green substance and sprayed it on a bag with CC logo on it that she prepared after her recording.
When she looked back at the table where she found Gohan, she saw that the body was nowhere to be found and for once she shad tears of happiness and joy, "it worked" was the only thing she could mutter as she fell to her knees and put her hands over her mouth.
Behind her, Trunks was beginning to stir awake, he started to look around the room trying to remember what happened, he started to hear sniffs and when his blue eyes fell on the form of his mother crying on a table that was stained with blood he remembered everything "Mom? What happened to Gohan's… b-body?" asked Trunks as his mother stopped crying and turned to her son.
"Trunks honey came here" said Bulma as Trunks given her a hug "It's all ok now, he's ok" said Bulma as Trunks felt himself chucked from what he heard from his mother.
"Mom, you mean-" his mother nod to his words as Trunks felt himself holding his tears "do you think he will ever see us again?" asked Trunks with hope in his voice.
"I'm sure of it" his mother said with a smile on her face.
-Location unknown-
He stirred and groaned as he woke up, he felt like he hadn't moved for ages as he came out from his pod "yow, Bardock!" he heard his comrade call as he looked aside seeing his best friend Toma come out from his pod.
Toma was an average build saiyan with tan skin and a Mohawk as a hair cut, he was a third class like his friend.
They had just returned from their mission from a plant called Rivjh that from that point in time was renamed to Frieza Planet D. 536, and, like all true saiyans, the first thing they did was go to the nearest bar.
As they entered a random bar they could hear and see their fellow saiyans roughhousing, drinking and singing around them, they could smell the stench of alcohol and food as their comrades like beasts ate their meals.
"Bardock! Toma! Over here!" they could hear their friends call them, as they neared the table Bardock could see his mate Gina with her bloated stomach carrying his second son or as he liked to call it spawn.
"Typical, the first thing you do after you were absent for four months is go to a bar" said Fasha as Toma sling his arm around her and started to laugh with his friends.
"I miss you" said Gina with love and adoration to her mate as Borgos and Shugesh started to smirk at Bardock discomfort as Gina hugged him.
"It's a mystery how a mean son of a bitch like you could get his hands on someone like little Gina hare" said Borgos the behemoth of a saiyan to Bardock.
"You're just jealous that I got the girl, while you were left with your hand on your dick" said Bardock as he was given the middle finger and started to make out with Gina.
"Did you hear that Frieza and his brother almost waged war on one another?" said Shugesh as he gorged his face in some kind of purple alien meat "their father came in to the picture in the last second and diverge the empire into two parts, one for Frieza and one for Cooler, it is now we are located at the edge of Frieza's empire, for some reason he insisted to keep this part of space from the hands of his brother"
"Since when are you so into politics?" asked Toma as his partner was only one step away from taking his mate right then and there.
"Well someone needs to be the brain here" said the overly fat saiyan as he smacked the butt of one of the waitress and got a week ki blast to the face "better luck next time mom!"
Suddenly a great noise was heard outside the bar and a blinding light could be seeing outside of the windows of the bar.
And all the customers decided to see what was all the light show was about and as Bardock and his crew came out they saw a boy no older than twenty in the middle of a crater on the street.
For some reason, when Bardock and Gina looked at the still form of the boy they started to feel discomfort in their heart, they felt great rage that was mixed with sadness that could break any lesser being, so they chose to help him in some hope that they could better understand why they felt that way towards a stranger they never even met in their life.
"Bardock, you know the lad?" asked Toma as he helped his friend pick the boy from the crater.
"No, but for some reason he seems familiar, it's like he is a part from mine and Gina's pack" said Bardock as his team mates started to take in the features of the boy in front of them.
"Come. Let's take him to the medic center, there they will patch him up" said Borgos as he and the rest flew to the medic center, not knowing that from this point on the boy would not only affect them but the whole saiyan race and mayhaps the very threads of the universe.
