Dragonball Z: Trunks Saga [2]

Vegeta won’t believe that this kid could be a super saiyan, and when everyone asks why, he tells them that he and Goku are the only two saiyans left, and if you count Gohan, then that would make three. The kid knows this, but won’t tell them anything. He pulls out a capsule from his pocket, and throws it to the floor, making a small, cooling machine. He opens it up, and takes a drink from it. Krillen stil doesn’t trust him, but Gohan does, and he takes one, as does Bulma. Reluctantly, Krillen grabs one, and cautiously takes a sip. Then gulps, then he drinks it as fast as he can, enjoying it thoroughly. He has started to trust the teenage kid now.

The teenager explains to them all that he has never actually met Goku, only heard about him from people around him. He keeps on looking at Vegeta for some reason, claiming that it is because he likes his pink shirt, although that is obviously not the real reason. This is aggravating the saiyan greatly, as he shouts at the kid to look at someone else.

2 hours pass, and a ship, rather like the one that the Ginyu Force travel in, crashed down to Earth. The door opens, and everyone gasps. A hand comes out, then a body. It’s Goku! He’s finally back on Earth! Everyone cheers for him, taking him by surprise, as he asks how they knew that he would be there. They all point to the teenager, and tell him that he is a super saiyan too. Rather than getting competitive, Goku congratulates the kid, amazed that he became one at such a young age. The teenager then asks if he can talk to Goku privately for a while, and Goku agrees, telling everyone that he will be right back.

The two fly over to another area, just across a small creak. They talk, and the teenager explains that he is called Trunks, and is from the future. He time traveled over here in need of help. Everyone watches on as Trunks tells Goku all of this information. Before Trunks goes on, he asks Goku if he can turn Super saiyan at will, and Goku says that he couldn’t do it at first, but with a bit of training, he got the hang of it. Trunks then tells him to turn super saiyan now, and Goku does. Trunks soon goes super saiyan too, then he pulls out his sword, and swiftly attacks Goku with it. Just before he makes contact, he stops though, and asks why Goku didn’t try to block it. Goku explains that he searched his feelings, and sensed to killing intent inside of him. Trunks smirks at this, then tells Goku that he won’t stop this time, so Goku raises his finger, and it powers up a little. Trunks swings at him, and Goku blocks every single shot just by using his finger. Trunks explains that they are the attacks that he cut Freiza up with, and that Goku really is as powerful as everyone had said he was.

Trunks then makes fun of Goku for being late, but the saiyan explains to him that he could have arrived earlier if he wanted because of his new special ability. Basically, he can teleport. Trunks is amazed, and said that he didn’t know that Goku could do that. He then throws his sword into the air, and catches it in the pouch on his back. He powers down from super saiyan form, and so too does Goku. Trunks explains that Vegeta is his father, but he doesn’t know him very well because almost everyone died in his time when he was just a baby, because of a terrible evil. Gohan was the only one who survived this attack, and they soon got him, but that was after he had trained Trunks to become as strong as he is now. With Piccolo dead too, that meant that the dragonballs had gone, meaning no one could be wished back.

Goku can’t believe that Vegeta is a father, and laughs with a huge grin on his face. Trunks smiles, and says that his mother told him that he was a proud man, and told him that Goku was a great fighter too. Goku asked if he knew the woman, and Trunks points to Bulma. Goku laughs his head off, happy that Bulma and Vegeta get together. Trunks tells him that it didn’t last though, and Goku rightly assumes that it was because they are both way too stubborn. Apparently Yamcha got a new girlfriend in the near future.

Trunks then gets back to the matter at hand, and explains that the evil is in the form of two androids, the creations of Dr Gero, and as soon as they could think for themselves, they killed their creator and went on a rampage, destroying everything for fun. Trunks says that it is partially Goku’s fault, for not killing Gero when he had the chance back when he was just a kid. Goku realizes that it was a mistake letting him live, but asks what relevance all this bares to him. Trunks tells him that these androids will be created in exactly three years time, but he has no idea of where the lab is yet, so he can’t destroy them before they are made. Goku seems to look forward to fighting them, and Trunks can’t believe that he isn’t scared after all that he has said. Goku tells him that it will be a challenge. Trunks laughs, and says that he was glad to meet him. Before Trunks goes, Goku asks if he was killed by the androids in his timeline too, but Trunks tells him that he died because of a heart disease, and he hasn’t got long left to live. Goku is upset that he will be killed by a mere disease, but Trunks tosses Goku a little bottle, and tells him that contains the antidote for the heart disease that he will pick up, and Goku gladly ctaches it. Before he leaves, Trunks asks Goku not to tell anyone what he has just told him, as it could affect the outcome of history, so much so in fact that he could never be born. Goku promises, then watches as Trunks flies off, back to his time machine.

Goku flies over to the gathered collection of his friends, and they ask him what they talked about, but Goku claimed that it was nothing. Piccolo is angry that Goku is hiding this though, and tells him that he heard the whole thing, because of his large ears giving him fantastic hearing. Goku tries to stop him from giving it away, but Piccolo only tells them about the androids coming in three years, and says that he wants a chance to change his fate, because he wants to live. Everyone is with him, as he tells them that he is going to train for the coming of these robots, and says that everyone else should too. Goku is getting mean looks from everyone, because they are annoyed that he didn’t tell them about these androids. He feels pretty stupid, not realizing that everyone should have known about this. They all prepare to train, as the Trunks saga ends.
