Goku Biography

A long time later, about year in fact, a space pod crashes through the Earth's atmosphere, landing in an isolated desert, making a huge crater upon impact. The pod door opens, and out walks Goku! He had survived the explosion! He gets out, and is surprised to see that a large crowd has arrived, and are all waving to him, and cheering for him upon his arrival. He greets them in a rather confused way, seemingly not noticing that everyone has been wished back. He climbs out of the pod, and a mysterious teenager greets him. He asks Goku for a word in private, and the Super Saiyan obliges. The teenager reveals himself to be a boy called Trunks, son of Vegeta and Bulma, come from the future to warn them of the android threat. Goku can’t believe that Vegeta would be a father, and haves himself a good laugh at the prospect, more out of happiness than mocking. He gets serious again, and Trunks asks him to turn Super Saiyan. Goku does so, then Trunks does. Goku is amazed that anyone can reach the form at such a young age, and starts to congratulate him. Suddenly, Trunks grabs his sword, pulls it out of his pouch on his back, and tries to slice Goku in half with it. Goku doesn’t move an inch though, and stands tall. Trunks stops his sword just before making contact with Goku’s skull, and asks why he didn’t try to block it. Goku explains that he sensed no killing intent, so there was no need to block. Trunks smirks, then tells him that he isn’t going to stop this time. Goku nods, and holds out his finger. Trunks madly attacks Goku with his perfect blade, but each one of his shots are blocked by Goku’s index finger. Trunks finished, and powers down from Super Saiyan, to his normal form. He commends Goku on his skill, then starts to explain about the androids.

Goku is amazed at the story, but has one question – How did he die. Trunks explains that in a few years, Goku will develop a very rare heart disease, and die from it. As you can imagine, this makes Goku irate. Trunks gives him the antidote though, telling him that there won’t be any other cure for it when he gets it, but it is made after Goku dies, so to keep it safe. Goku gratefully catches it, and puts it in his pocket. Trunks waves goodbye, and Goku goes over to greet his friends.

Goku tells everyone that Trunks didn’t really say anything, but Piccolo had been listening in to the conversation. He explains that the androids are coming, and that everyone should train to try to cheat their destiny of death. Goku is relieved that his juvenile personality was saved by Piccolo who may well have saved everyone’s lives. Goku shows everyone a trick before they leave, just to show what he learned at Yardrat (The planet he went to when Namek exploded). He waves bye to them, and visibly disappears, then reappears, then explains to everyone that he has learnt how to use the power of teleportation. At first no one believes him, but when he puts on Roshi's sunglasses they are forced too. Everyone has a good laugh before departing their seperate ways. Before Piccolo has a chance to fly off though, Goku politely asks him if he wishes to train with Gohan and himself. Piccolo nods obligingly, saying he was going to suggest it anyway.
