Last Chapter...
Trunks flew towards the destroyed city and looked around for his sensei. He searched the whole city before finally spotting Gohan's lifeless body that was lying face down in a mixture of rain water and Saiyan blood. "Gohan…" said Trunks as he approached his friend. "Why'd you have to leave me? This isn't fair!" He stopped and stared down at his deceased teacher. Tears started sliding down his face. "What did they do to you Gohan?" asked the Saiyan Prince but got no answer. "You were my best friend, you were everything to me. Everything! This just isn't fair!" the last living Saiyan/half Saiyan kneeled by his friend and hugged him as he shouted his named. "Gohan…Gohan…GOHAN!"
Trunks suddenly stood up and screamed in anger and pain, letting all of his anger at himself and the Androids pour out of him. He clenched his fist so hard it started to bleed. His hair instantly turned gold and spiky as his eyes shot open revealing emerald pupils and he started emitting gold flames of energy. Finally becoming a Super Saiyan, Trunks fell to his knees and smashed the ground in sadness.
In the otherworld the Z fighters showed no emotion towards the appearance of Super Saiyan Trunks. As they stared at the new Super Saiyan their faces had expressionless looks on them. Finally after a moment of silence the father of this new Super Saiyan spoke. "He's done it; he's become a Super Saiyan," said Vegeta.
"Now we're one step closer to ending this Android menace once and for all," said Piccolo as he looked at Kibito who held up Gohan's life force sphere.

Chapter 6-
After Trunks calmed down a bit, he went home to tell his mom of Gohan's death. They called Chi Chi and her father. Trunks went back to the city of Gohan's defeat to retrieve his body. They then buried his body at the funeral for the brave Son of Goku. Afterwards, Trunks continued to train intensely; his mom worked hard in her lab while trying to finish her time machine.
During this Kibito retrieved Gohan's body from the grave and took it to the Supreme Kai's home world. The Z fighters and the Supreme Kai were already waiting for him there. He then placed Gohan's life force back into his body; however, he only started breathing and didn't wake up. "Why isn't he waking up?" asked Goku. "His body took so much damage that he's seemed to have enter into a coma. He's basically still on that line between life and death," explained the Supreme Kai. "Kibito should be able to heal him completely and regenerate his missing arm, but it will take some time before he'll awake again."
"How long will he remain unconscious?" asked Piccolo.
"Judging by the damage done to his body, it may take about two or three years for him to wake up," said Kibito. "That long huh?" asked Goku. "Then you'd better get started right away; we'll leave so that we don't get in your way."
"Please make sure he fully recovers," said Krillin before Goku transported the Z fighters back to King Kai's Planet and Vegeta to Hell.
"Alright Kibito, get to work on Gohan. After you transport me to Earth, start working on Gohan's arm and then heal all his injuries," instructed the Supreme Kai. "We need him at full strength for the severe training that awaits him."
"Yes sir. Be careful my lord, these Androids are equally a threat to even yourself," warned Kibito.
"Don't worry Kibito; I am only going to help Trunks preserve human life without anyone knowing. I will not engage the Androids," said the Supreme Kai as he smiled. After Kibito dropped the Supreme Kai on Earth, he came over to Gohan's body and thought, "You'd better be worth the trouble that my Lord is going through to help you." He then channeled ki into his hands and placed them over Gohan. His wounds were slowly healing while his arm was forming piece by piece. "This will take a while..." thought Kibito.
After a year and Six months have passed...
The Z fighters minus Vegeta were still training on King Kai Planet; they visited the Supreme Kai's planet to check up on Gohan. The last time they saw the Son of Kakarrot his arm was fully restored and most of his wounds were healed, but he still need time to recover. The Z fighters had participated in the previous Otherworld Tournament which ended in a tie between Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Pikkon. Now they were all training for the next one. Vegeta was busy training all the Saiyans in the underworld so that they could discipline all those deceased Villains that tried to escape his domain.
Kibito was still working on healing Gohan. During this time Gohan was having flashback of his previous battles until his last fight against the Androids. Kibito saw everything from within Gohan's mind.
Flashback - Gohan vs. Garlic Jr.

His anger at Piccolo's death made him attack Nappa with all his power only to have little effect on the brute. Gohan is then seen going toe to toe with Prince Vegeta before he's overpowered. He blanks out again after Transforming into the Oozaru for the 4th time and regains control in order to crush the Saiyan Prince.

Flashback ends
Kibito sighs as he thinks, "Is this really all a Saiyan is meant to do? To just fight so they can live and live so they can fight."
Meanwhile on Earth...
The Supreme Kai was still shadowing the Cyborgs while saving innocent humans without anyone knowing and keeping an eye on Trunks. As flew over the destroyed citied he thought to himself, "After so many years of killing for fun and hate, I can't believe those two haven't gotten bored by now. They should've found something better to do with their lives. I can't imagine anyone deciding to show them mercy after all they've done." The Androids continued their rampage but found it a little suspicious that they weren't seeing many dead bodies or humans to kill but decided that the bodies were underneath the collapsed buildings they had destroyed.
Trunks had finally learned how to go Super Saiyan at will which led to him shutting down the idea of going back in time. He thought that he could defeat the Androids in his current state, so he left to fight them once he heard their location on the radio. With his sword strapped to his back and revenge on his mind, the Son of Vegeta flew towards the Cyborgs.
In the Underworld, the deceased Saiyan Prince was supervising his Saiyan warriors until he got a call from the Supreme Kai. "Vegeta, Trunks is on his way to fight the Androids right now!" said the Supreme Kai. "What?!" asked The Saiyan Prince before he smirked. "It seems that my son has inherited my impatience and Saiyan Pride; he has truly become strong. But he's still no match for those Android scum," said Vegeta. "Alright, have Kakarrot take me to King Kai's planet so that I may see if my son will survive or not."
"Very well. Goku will arrive shortly to get you," said the Supreme Kai.
Moments later, Goku appeared in his rival's domain. "Hey Vegeta, the Supreme Kai told us what's happening. Do you think Trunks can beat the Androids, or at least survive the fight?" asked Goku.
"My son will not die so easily!" said Vegeta. "But neither will those Android freaks!"
"Ok then, let's go!" said Goku as he placed his hand on Vegeta's shoulder. The two deceased Saiyans were soon transported to King Kai's planet where the rest of the Z fighters were waiting for King Kai to show them the battle between Trunks and the Androids. "Goku, we asked Kibito if Gohan has recovered since we thought with help, Trunks might be able to survive his battle, but he told us that Gohan isn't fully healed yet so he's no help to us now," Piccolo informed him when he noticed the two Saiyans.
"Then I guess all we can do is hope that Trunks survives. We'll need both him and Gohan in order to defeat the Androids," said Goku.
"I see him!" said King Kai. All the Z fighters gathered around him and watched Trunks fly towards the Cyborgs through King Kai's antenna. "Gohan alone was no match for the Androids, and he barely survived. Do you think Trunks can pull off the same miracle?!" asked King Kai.
"My son is a Super Saiyan just like Kakarrot, Gohan, and myself!" said Prince Vegeta. "He will survive!"
The Z fighters stared at Vegeta, mostly surprised that the dead Saiyan Prince didn't say that his son will win. They then looked back to Earth where they saw the living Saiyan Prince approaching another city that had suffered the wrath of Seventeen and Eighteen. "I hope you guys are watching this, because Trunks is about to attack the Androids," said the Supreme Kai.
"We're watching Supreme Kai," said Goku.
On Earth...
The second Demi Saiyan had just arrived at the destroyed city when he spotted the Androids. Eighteen was jumping around fallen cars while Seventeen was looking around for survivors. "Hey, are you ready to go yet?" asked Eighteen. When the black haired Android could not find any more people to kill he looked to his sister and answered, "Yeah, let's go." "Good, this is boring!" said Eighteen as she walked towards her brother. Suddenly Trunks landed right behind her and shouted, "How about experiencing your own deaths Androids?! Does that thrill you?! It'll be your last joy ride!"
Eighteen glanced at the Super Saiyan and smirked. "Us die? That's funny," she said as she turned to face the Saiyan. "But this won't be!" The female Cyborg charged at the half Saiyan, who braced himself for battle.
The Z fighters watched anxiously as the battle between Trunks and the Androids had begun. Only one thought was on everyone's mind, especially Vegeta's. "Don't die yet Trunks!"
The next day...
Trunks' injured and dying body was lying on the ground of the destroyed city. His eyes were closed as he laid there unconscious. Blood spilled from his forehead, mouth, arms and chest. He had cuts and bruises in several different places. It was a miracle that he was still breathing, but just barely. Suddenly Kibito appeared in front of him and looked down. He stared at the beaten Saiyan Prince with only one question on his mind. "Are all mortals as brave, weak, and foolish as you and your Master? Or is it just the Saiyans?"
He then placed his hand on Trunks' back before transporting both of them to the Supreme Kai's sacred Planet. Kibito then placed Trunks beside the still unconscious Gohan. The Z fighters gathered around the two beaten half Saiyans with depressed looks on their faces. They watched as Kibito started healing Gohan and Trunks. "How did it come to this?" asked Goku. "Not even Trunks was a match for the Androids," said Piccolo.
Flashback
Suddenly Trunks landed right behind her and shouted, "How about experiencing your own deaths Androids?! Does that thrill you?! It'll be your last joy ride!"
Eighteen glanced at the Super Saiyan and smirked. "Us die? That's funny." she said as she turned to face the Saiyan. "But this won't be!" The female Cyborg charged at the half Saiyan, who braced himself for battle. Eighteen smacked Trunks into a building that crumbled when he collided with it. The Son of Vegeta quickly got up and fired a blast at the female Android but she dodged it as she flew towards him. Trunks reacted by charging at Eighteen attempting to punch her, but she grabbed his fist. "You wouldn't hit a lady would you?" mocked Eighteen before knocking Trunks away.
Trunks soon pulled out his sword and swung it at Eighteen. The Blonde Cyborg dodged Trunks' slash with ease before standing on the tip of his blade. "This isn't fair; I'm unarmed you know," said Eighteen. Trunks then powered up before swinging his sword again. Eighteen still dodged it; however Trunks managed to cut off a few strands of her hair. "My hair! That doesn't grow back you punk!" Eighteen growled. "Allow me to even it out!" said Trunks as he prepared to swing again. Seventeen then started running towards them to join the fight. "Seventeen!" called Eighteen as her brother appeared. The living Saiyan Prince tried to stab Seventeen but he dodged the attack. At Trunks' second attempt to stab Seventeen, he grabbed the Super Saiyan's sword before it could touch his face. "I see your point," joked Seventeen as he held Trunks' blade. Trunks struggled to free his weapon but the Android's grip was too strong. Just then Eighteen appeared behind and said, "Hello, special delivery," before blasting him in the back. Trunks was sent flying into another building as the Androids fired more blasts at him.
The multiple blasts created a big explosion that engulfed the Saiyan, but Trunks suddenly jumped through the explosion and charged at the Androids. Trunks knocked away Seventeen before kicking Eighteen in the stomach and knocking her away as well. Trunks then flew into the air and channeled ki into his palms. The Androids looked stunned as the Super Saiyan fired a strong energy beam at them. The beam made a huge explosion when it made impact with its target. When the explosion ended Trunks smiled as he saw nothing but smoke where the Androids had been.
"I did it!" said Trunks before he growled at the sight of the Androids who were clearly unharmed. "Did what? Eighteen, what'd he do?" asked Seventeen as his sister dusted herself.
"Who knows? He did get my clothes dirty; maybe that's what he's talking about," replied Eighteen.
Trunks started firing more energy blasts at the Androids, who made no attempt to dodge. The Androids were consumed by the explosion of the multiple blasts. When Trunks finally stopped he started breathing heavily from using a lot of energy. He looked down to see the Androids were still standing there as if nothing had happened to them. "What am I up against? This is insane!" thought the Son of Vegeta.
Seventeen then wagged his finger at the Demi Saiyan, tempting him to try again. Enraged by this gesture of mockery, Trunks began madly firing rapid ki blast without any concern for restraint or his own energy. Once again the Androids made no attempt to avoid the attacks and consumed by the explosion. When Trunks finished his attack he slowly descended to the ground and fell to his knees as he continued to breathe heavily due to exhaustion. "Uh, I 'm spent. That wasn't such a good idea," said Trunks.
The Saiyan Hybrid looked around, but there was no sign of the Androids. He then started to hear the voices of Seventeen and Eighteen. Trunks stood up and scanned the area for the Androids but still didn't see them. Eventually Seventeen burst from a building and appeared in front of Trunks, surprising the lavender haired Saiyan. He then backhanded Trunks, sending him sliding into the building only to be stopped by Eighteen. The Female Androids smirked at the half Saiyan and kicked him.
"Blast it! At this rate, Trunks is going to die!" said Piccolo as the Z fighters watched the fight between Trunks and the Androids. "Come on Trunks, you can't die yet!" said Goku.
Somehow, Trunks managed to get away from the Metal Murderers and started hiding. He saw the shadows of the Androids before Seventeen appeared behind him. Trunks ran away and hid again as he tried to catch his breath. "Peek-a-boo, I see you," taunted Eighteen from behind Trunks. The half Saiyan looked behind to see Eighteen holding a broken mirror, giving full view of where Trunks was. Eighteen then knocked Trunks onto the top floor where Seventeen was already waiting. "You could've just taken the stairs you know. My gosh, human beings always want to do things the hard way," said Seventeen. Eighteen then appeared behind Trunks and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, you're a mess. We got under your skin, didn't we, kid," she said before looking to her brother to ask. "He's no fun anymore. What do you say we kill him?" Trunks started trembling with fear as Seventeen replies, "Sure."
The Saiyan Prince was soon sent flying out the building into the ground hard. Blood spilled from his mouth and his forehead as he laid on the ground. The Androids then landed behind him before Seventeen asks, "Do you mind if I do the honors?" Eighteen just shrugged which Seventeen took as a yes; he then fired a blast at the fallen Super Saiyan which knocked him into a public pool. The Androids turned to leave until they heard the grunting sounds from Trunks as he struggled to climb out of the pool.
"Darn him!" growled Seventeen before turning around to point a finger at Trunks. "I have to give him credit though; he's tougher than we thought."
The Android fired another blast that hit Trunks right in the chest, pushing him over the pool to the other side. Trunks then collapsed as the Androids appeared in front of him. Seventeen lifted Trunks' head with his foot to see if he was still alive. At first when there was no movement, Eighteen said, "He's dead." But Trunks started moving again, which surprised the Cyborgs. "Why? Why are you two doing this? I don't understand. Tell me why!" demanded the last Super Saiyan. The Androids smirked as they honored his question with an honest answer. " created us for world domination, but that doesn't mean a thing to us," replied Seventeen. "We hate you humans; whenever we see a human it angers us," said Eighteen.
Trunks finally got up and started rapidly punching Seventeen in the face. "All those people...and all those children..." Trunks said as his punches have no effect on the black haired Android. He then starts punching Eighteen in the face, but to no avail. "I won't let you do this anymore!" Trunks declared before Eighteen tripped him. He almost hit the ground but Eighteen grabbed him. "Whoops, you almost fell down," she said before punching him through a building. Seventeen then phased behind him and kicked him into the air before kicking him back down. Eighteen then kicked Trunks in the gut, making him cry out in pain before she punched him in the face. Trunks soon hit the ground in front of Seventeen's feet where he powered down from his Super Saiyan state and fell unconscious.
"Look, he's not a natural blonde," commented Seventeen as his sister landed beside him. "I think it's time we end this little pest. How dare you!" said Seventeen as he stomped on Trunks' head. "Be gone!" Seventeen then charged up a blast to finish off Trunks, but Eighteen appeared in front of him and said, "Wait. Let me do this one!" She then fired a massive ki blast at the Son of Vegeta which destroyed most of Bridgetown. (A/N: The place where they're fighting; I just learned its name.)
Trunks screamed in pain as he's consumed by the explosion from Eighteen's attack.
Flashback ends
The Z fighters watched as Kibito channeled ki into his hands and started to heal the unconscious Demi Saiyans. "This will take some time. You may leave if you want; I'll contact you when they wake up," said Kibito. "Thanks Kibito. We'll get out of your way now," said Goku as the Z fighters gathered around him. Vegeta looked down at his son and sighed. "Don't give up, my son. This isn't the end for you, this is only the beginning. You too, Kakabrat," he said before joining the Z fighters. They soon disappeared back to their own homes to continue their training.
Three weeks have passed since Trunks' defeat and Kibito had almost finished healing Gohan and Trunks. His hands stopped channeling energy as the last of the Demi Saiyans' wounds faded away and their color came back to their skin. Kibito put his hands down and looked up. "It's finally done; now they can begin their training." He then closed his eyes as he called out to the Supreme Kai telepathically. "My lord, can you hear me?"
The Supreme Kai had just finished hiding a group of unconscious humans from the Androids before he disappeared into the sky. He watched as the Androids continued to destroy the city when he heard Kibito calling him. "Yes Kibito, I can hear you. Tell you have some good news on the Saiyans' recovery," said the Supreme Kai. "I do, sir. I've just finished healing all of their injuries and they seem to be in good condition. I 'm sure after some rest they'll be ready to start training as soon as tomorrow," said Kibito.
"Excellent work, Kibito," said the Supreme Kai. "Now we're one step closer to repaying our debt."
"Yes sir. I'll alert the others of the boys' condition," said Kibito before he stopped contacting the Supreme Kai.
The Supreme Kai looked up with a glimmer of hope on his face as he thought to himself, "I hope Goku's faith in the boys wasn't misplaced, because even I can't preserve human life forever. These Androids seem to be as powerful as myself, so in order for the Half Saiyans to gain the strength to defeat them, they need to surpass me."
Later that day Kibito had informed the Z fighters of the boys' recovery, and that they would be able to see them as soon as tomorrow. The Z fighters all agreed that they would go see Gohan and Trunks as soon as they woke up. Kibito then transported himself to Earth in order to assist the Supreme Kai in saving humans from the Androids.
The next day...
Gohan and Trunks' eyes began to open slowly as they laid beside each other; they suddenly shot up as they fully opened their eyes. They started looking around trying to identify the strange place they were in when their eyes came across each other and grew wider in shock.
"Gohan?" said Trunks
"Trunks?" said Gohan.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter seemed a bit shorter than the others, but there wasn't really much I wanted to put in this one. It was mainly about Trunks' battle with the Androids while Gohan was recovering. But now I can move on to the next Chapter, which will involve the intense training Gohan and Trunks will have to go through in order to surpass the Androids. I won't make them surpass the Super Saiyan state just yet though. And soon there will be new fighters to join them along with new enemies. TTFN Antihero out!
