CHAPTER 7: 13 Years Later
It has been 13 years since the appearance of the Androids. Trunks is now 13 years old he is a teenager and he now joins the fight against the Androids.
Trunks sat on his bed with his legs folded. He was watching TV and was flipping through channels but all that was on was either shows from years ago or news about the Androids. He got up and walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. To his dismay when he opened the Refrigerator it was nearly empty, all that was left was some milk and a piece of old bread.
(Mom's been to afraid to go shopping lately) Trunks thought
Trunks walked into the living room to see his mom watching some television.
"Mom give me some money and I'll run down to the grocery store real quick." Trunks said
"Trunks no I won't risk your life over some food." Bulma replied
"But mom both me and you are starving. I really want to eat!" Trunks said
Trunks hated the Androids they had ruined his life he remembered the first time he learned of the Androids was when he was 5.
FLASH BACK
"HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE TRUNKSY." Bulma said loudly
Trunks didn't notice his moms greeting because he was too busy staring out the window.
"What are you looking at dear." Bulma said
"Mommy who are those 2 people destroying buildings." Trunks asked
"Oh my god its the Androids,Trunks quick hurry we have to get to the underground base."
Bulma grabbed Trunks and ran to the underground base under West City which was built 5 years ago when the Androids appeared. It was considered the safest place in the world although not the most luxurious.
"Mommy who are the Androids." Trunks asked
"Their very bad people Trunks never go near them they killed your father along with millions of other people." Bulma said
END FLASHBACK
Trunks grabbed some money off the table.
"Mom don't worry about me I'll come back with food." Trunks said as he ran out the door.
"Trunks no!" Bulma yelled
Trunks took off to the sky and headed for the nearest Grocery Store. He flew around for a couple of minutes and spotted a broken down store so he went inside.
"Hmm lets see if the food is still fresh." He said to himself
Trunks grabbed some meat,potatoes, other vegetables and some junk food and began to make his way out of the store when he noticed Androids 17 and 18 land outside.
(Shit what do they want,West City is nothing but ashes.) Trunks thought
"I don't know sis my scanners keep picking up life in this city." 17 said
"But how could that be we destroyed this city years ago." 18 replied
"I don't know maybe they have some sort of hideout underground who knows really when humans are scared they find any possible way to survive." 17 said
To Trunks dismay 17 and 18 walked into the store. Trunks went and hid in the frozen food section.
"Why are we in here 17." 18 asked annoyed
"Hey chill out humans have nothing to eat so they could be in here." 17 said
"I have an idea why don't we just go around and destroy all the stores in the world than that way they won't have anything to eat and they'll all starve to death." 17 added
"Sure as long as you leave the clothing stores." 18 replied
The Androids were getting closer and closer to Trunks. He hid behind the food of his isle as he watched 17 and 18 walk around. Trunks began sweating.
(Aw man if they find me I'm dead for sure) Trunks thought
---------------------------------------------
"Trunks you stupid boy your going to get yourself killed." Bulma said out loud to herself
Suddenly their was a knock on the door.
(Oh no Androids) Bulma thought
(No wait Androids don't knock.) She thought remembering the first encounter she had with them.
Bulma opened the door to find Gohan standing their with groceries.
"Gohan good to see you come in." Bulma said
"Hi Bulma and thanks I've brought food for you and Trunks to eat I know how hard it is to get food with those freaks running around,this should last you half a year." Gohan said grinning
Bulma enveloped Gohan with a hug.
"Gohan thank you so much."
Gohan chuckled slightly
"No problem Bulma, hey where's Trunks.?" He asked
"Oh no I almost forgot, he rushed out to the store to find some food, Gohan please go look for him I don't want anything to happen to him." Bulma said with tears forming in her eyes
"Hey don't worry I'll bring him back safe and thats a promise." Gohan said walking out
------------------------------------
(I got to get out of here) Trunks thought as he began tip toeing out of the section. Trunks was almost home free but he unfortunately kicked a can of pees which caused a huge echo and went rolling to the counter.
"Hey what was that, I just heard something." 17 said
"Yea me too." 18 said
"Come out, come out where ever you are." 17 said
"Oh for gods sake." 18 said as she blasted half the store
One of the blasts hit Trunks causing him to force a yell.
"Got him." 18 said as she flew over to where Trunks was,17 followed her.
"Well look what we have here." 17 said
"He's a new face I don't think I've seen him before." 18 said
"What does it matter he just another human, lets kill him." 17 said
"No you won't you monsters." Trunks said
Trunks then launched himself at Android 17 and began attacking. 17 just swatted him like a fly sending Trunks to the ground hurt.
"Well your not a regular human are you?" 17 said
"No I think he's Vegeta's kid." 18 said
"Wow how interesting, lets have some fun with him." 17 said as he walked up and kicked Trunks extremely hard into the stomach knocking him out.
-----------------------------------------
Trunks awoke in a abandoned ware house. He looked up to see 17 and 18 smiling at him.
"W-why d you bring me hear." Trunks asked
"Like I said before, to have some fun." 17 responded
He then walked over and picked up a blade
"You see Trunks I'm going to cut off your fingers one by one. To be blunt I'm going to dissect you to study the human body and what gives you these foolish emotions, oh who am I kidding I just want to see you scream ahahahahhaha." 17 said
"Heh he never was good at Science." 18 said
"No leave me alone you fiends." Trunks said angrily
18 appeared behind him and held him still as 17 walked over with his blade.
"Now Trunks remember this will only hurt a lot ahahahhaa." 17 said laughing menacingly
17 was ready to cut of Trunks fingers when Gohan came crashing threw the wall and tackled 17 into 18.
"MASENKO!!." Gohan yelled as he hit both Androids causing them to crash threw the walls of the ware house.
Gohan grabbed Trunks and flew at top speed out of the warehouse. Gohan noticed Trunks had fainted from either fear or injury.
---------------------------------------
Gohan kicked Bulma's door open.
"BULMA GET TO THE UNDEGROUND BASE NOW THE ANROIDS ARE VERY CLOSE BY AND I THINK THEY TRACKED ME SO HURRY UP!" Gohan yelled
Bulma ran outside Capsule Corp followed by Gohan who was carrying Trunks and they went into the underground base.
Trunks woke up to see Bulma and Gohan standing over him.
"W-were am I" Trunks asked
"Its okay kid I saved you before they could do anything bad to you." Gohan replied
"Thank you Gohan." Trunks replied
"Trunks I told you not to leave didn't I." Bulma said
"But mom I wanted to bring food home for you and me." Trunks replied
"Hey don't sweat it kid I've got you covered." Gohan said
"What really." Trunks said smiling
"Yea Trunks, Gohan brought food like 10 minutes after you left." Bulma said
"S-sorry mom." Trunks replied
Suddenly explosions could be heard from above.
"Oh no the Androids are attacking." a man said
"Run!!!" Everyone began yelled
"NO! STOP!, listen to me everyone if we all just stay quiet then they won't find us, please trust me, were underground they will never look for us here." Gohan yelled to everyone
Everyone then calmed down and waited. Trunks just stared at Gohan, he admired his courage and power. Trunks really looked up to him as a father type figure.
Finally the explosions settled and everyone calmed down some more.
"Gohan c-can you train me." Trunks asked surprising Gohan
"Hehe sure kid if its okay with your mother that is."
"Absolutely not I'm not losing my only son to those mechanical demons N.O Trunks no, let Gohan handle this for now."
Trunks looked down at the ground disappointed. Gohan walked over to him and whispered in his ear.
"Psst Trunks we start tomorrow don't tell your mother okay?" Gohan said
"Really you mean it" Trunks said whispering back
"Absolutely" Gohan replied
