Year 766, May 12
The day that Trunks had prophesied had finally arrived ...
Our heroes after almost three years of training, research, plagiarism and development ...
And also after some filler chapters in which Piccolo and Goku got their driving license ...
Krillin tried to get a girlfriend, but failed sadly ... as usual (Marron in my heart was always real, despite being a silly version of Bulma) ...
Muten Roshi tried to "sleep" with Ginger but she was preventing him in a tsundere way with the argument that this would only happen when he beat her in a fight (according to her the defeat of a few years ago doesn't count)
Yam finally forgave Vegeta's alternative infidelity ... more or less ... at least she no longer had psychotic attacks
And last but not least, where Gohan started bringing money at home before his father ...
All of them flew on an island located 9 kilometers southwest of Metro South
And along the way some of them began to meet their old friends...
"Kirlin-san! Muten Roshi-san! Ginger-san! " Gohan yelled upon seeing his group of friends
"Look how big you're getting, Gohan!" Krillin and Muten Roshi said greeting Gohan, who unlike his father grew at a normal rate
And after that meeting Goku, Piccolo and all the others greeted each other according to the usual regulations in shonen's, however, Goku was struck by the expression of his friends "What's the matter?
After all this time, aren't you exited to see us?"
"We're just about to wage the fight of or lives against horrible monsters
How can you expect us to be cheery?
We aren't a Super Saiyan, you know" Said Muten Roshi and Krillin, who were obviously somewhat concerned and knew that in this conflict they could contribute very little.
But unlike them Ginger was quite enthusiastic about it
"Yes, you aren't ...
Hehee ..." Ginger said trying to hide her smile, as if she were a little boy trying to hide a secret...
While talking about what they had done these three years, the six arrived at the meeting point.
And after tracking the nearby Ki's, they found the rest of the group, who were waiting for them on a nearby mountain from where the city could be seen.
There were Ten-Shinhan, Yamcha and Bulma
"We've been waiting for you
You guys are a little late
Now the only missing ones are Yam, Vegeta and…" Yamcha said with joy to see his friends after so long ... although his last sentence was no longer expressed with such joy ...
"Yes, it took a while ...
By the way…
Where is Broly?" Piccolo asked, worrying about the absence of the Deus Ex Machina with tail and third eye.
"Broly ...
I guess you will have to ask Bulma" Said Ten Shinhan, who had already asked before
And once the eyes of Goku, Gohan, Ginger, Krillin, and Muten Roshi were on Bulma, they were puzzled to see her after almost three years.
"Hey, why are you staring at me?
Ah, I know ...
You can't believe how pretty I am, right?" Bulma said haughtily, showing off her eternal youth and the new hairstyle of this week
"Well, it's impossible to say no, but… AISH! Ginger, don't pinch my arm!
The truth is that it is impressive that you are still so young when you are in your thirties...
But we imagined that by now you would have a little Trunks in your arms right now ...
Or at least an equivalent son or daughter of Broly" Some of the newcomers answered to Bulma (let's see if you know who each line belongs to)
Why did everyone think that would be what would happen?
Very simply, they believed that Broly in his ultra-competitive and jealous eagerness would want to impregnate Bulma as soon as possible to completely avoid the already unlikely birth of Trunks.
And with it mark his territory again
But ... why hadn't it been like that?
"You're crazy?
We know that on this day there would be a new apocalypse.
This is not the time to take care of a child when I have to take care of you ", said Bulma, who during these years reconsidered and realized that this wasn't the best time for that, that she could wait for the prophesied day to pass.
Something that discouraged Broly a lot, as he wanted to do exactly what the Z Warriors had thought he would want to do.
"Ok ... makes sense ...
But what about Broly?
Why isn't he here with you?" Piccolo asked again, unlike the others he worried about what was important before an android invasion
Having a good team
"Broly ...
I think you better see and hear for yourselves where he is" Said Bulma while projecting a hologram of Broly from her latest generation watch created by Capsule Corp (on sale soon)
"Hello friends, my dear Bulma, Yamcha and Vegeta
If you are seeing this hologram it is because I had to leave due to a great setback and I still haven't been able to return
One of my contacts has warned me that in universe 9 a special and extremely rare life form called Yourself has been doing some pretty bad and disturbing things
A life form capable of perfectly imitating a person he has ever seen, his appearance, his memories and his powers ... although they can only do it once in their life ...
And it turns out that Yourself copied me one day when I went to universe 9 to buy tobacco ... even though I don't smoke ... don't ask why I did it ...
In short, there is someone just like me and with my same powers out there, but surely not as good or responsible as me...
So I have to go to stop him before all the universes are in danger ...
Or what is worse ...
MY reputation as an exemplary citizen
I'm sorry I can't help you with the androids, but I have to face myself…
And I can't underestimate myself…
Good luck" Said the hologram Broly as he said goodbye to those who were watching him
And in this way the broadcast was cut off ... and obviously this message didn't leave anyone indifferent
"Another guy like Broly ?!
This is terrible!" Krillin said, who changed his fear priority, the android apocalypse no longer seemed so worrisome
"This is serious?!" Goku, Muten Roshi and Ginger asked with almost as much fear as Krillin
"This is a joke
Right Bulma? " Gohan and Piccolo asked, who after so many years of living with Broly felt that this was perhaps a fairly well-posed excuse to sneak away
"I can't tell you if it's true or not ...
Or if I prefer it to be true or not
But it seems that this time we will have to solve this problem without him" Said Bulma somewhat annoyed as she turned off the hologram
After that episode that created more questions than answers, the group tried to kill time before the androids arrived, explaining what they had been doing these years and other conversations without much relevance or importance ...
"Hey Muten Roshi-sama, how are things going with Ginger?
Some progress?
Hehe ... you know what I mean" Yamcha asked with a perverted face as he elbowed his half teacher in a suggestive manner.
"I'm afraid it's not quite right ...
She don't let me ... you know what I mean..." Muten Roshi said very discouraged as he watched Ginger, who stood next to Piccolo and Ten to look at the city in search of those supposed androids
And on the other hand…
"Dad, take the medicine" Gohan said handing him one of the pills that Trunks brought from the future for his future heart disease
"Hey?! Why?!
If I'm fine" Goku protested, since he had a pathological fear of injections and medicine in general.
"Papa, we know very well that you will suffer a heart attack around this time since you couldn't fight the androids...
So before you have a heart attack, you better start taking your medication.
That's why I've been telling you to take one a day this whole week" Gohan said once more, almost putting the pill in his father's mouth, who seemed to refuse to take the medicine as if he were a small child or a pet
"But…
It tastes awful! And it's hard to swallow!" Goku said as he tried to get his face away from the pill
"DAD!!!
It's your health!
Take it at once!
Don't protest!" Shouted Gohan, who transformed into True Saiyan and immobilized his father to force him to take the pill while the rest of the cast laughed at that comical situation
Until a flying vehicle approached their position
It was Yajirobe, who had come to deliver a few Senzu Beans "Here.
I'm droppin off these Senzu Karin-sama sent yas"
"My hero! You can always count on Karin-sama!
Despite everything Broly says" Goku said happily taking the big sack that Yajirobe was handing him
"Well, besta luck to yas
I ain't like the resta you idiots, I don't wanna die" Yajirobe said in a cowardly but intelligent way, distancing himself from danger while others fought for him
And as Yajirobe fled with his tail between his legs, our brave and foolish warriors began to grow impatient, since the hour that Trunks announced had come and there was no trace of any modified human ...
"You don't suppose what he told us isn't true, do you?
I mean, we're not sensing any strong Ki
If they're really that strong, we should be able to sense them anywhere on Earth" Yamcha said, that as always ... he was a jinx
BOOMMMMM!!!!
"AH !!
What happened?" Everyone screamed at the same time they heard an explosion near there
And what exploded was Yajirobe's spacecraft in flight, which crashed into the sea
"Look!
There's someone there!
They attacked him!" Piccolo said pointing to some mysterious humanoid silhouettes, which were close enough to see where they were and how many there were but also far enough not to recognize the physical characteristics of those assailants
Assailants who with great speed descended towards the city
And seeing what had happened puzzled our Z Wariors for several reasons
An one of them was…
"How can it be?
I dind't sense any Ki at all! " Goku said, puzzled by not feeling the Ki of his enemies, it was as if they didn't exist ... and this was something very bad for them, since both to track and to fight they used their Ki detection.
But what worried the whole group the most was ...
"That isn't the most important…
Did you see it right?
There were 7 people ...
I couldn't see their appearance, but they were definitely 7 and not 2 as Trunks had said" Gohan said very concerned about this change in history…
If only two androids had been able to destroy Trunks' future, what could the presence of 5 more androids mean?
7 androids stronger than Trunks, who had a power similar to Goku and had no Ki ...
Everything had become very complicated and confusing
They had too many questions and the answers would surely not be pleasant ...
And what was worse, they had no one to ask ...
Or so they believed ...
"Yes, Dr Gero's Androids have no Ki.
They use another type of energy to replace it and the reason why there are 7 and not 2 is because this timeline has been quite modified by the presence of Broly and Trunks ...
And obviously these changes have caused certain alterations in future events, such as the increase in Androids.
But this I warned you that ending the problem before it started was the best solution ...
But you never listen to me" Said Bulma quickly answering their questions and reminding her friends that her warning from years ago
Warning that she remembered at every annual barbecue that Broly organized
Obviously that Bulma knew all that intrigued our Z Warriors, who were more or less satisfied with the answers "Bulma…
How do you know all this?"
"Unlike certain idiots who only think about enjoying fights, I have taken the future of the planet seriously.
That is why I have done my homework and I have investigated our enemies" Said Bulma answering their questions as she took a capsule out of her pocket and threw it on the ground.
POM!!!
From that capsule a huge container appeared, to which Bulma approached and pressed a button that protruded on the surface ...
Inside were several trackers similar to the ones that Frieza and his lackeys used
"Bulma ...
What is all this?" Goku asked who couldn't intuit the usefulness of these trackers.
"It is not obvious?
They are trackers that I have prepared exclusively to detect androids.
These devices don't detect the Ki but they do detect the different types of energy that the different types of androids that Gero has created
If you don't know how they work and you don't want to waste time consulting the manual, ask Ginger, she can teach you how to use them as you search them" Said Bulma handing Ginger a tracker bag ...
But the moment she was about to hand over the trackers to her friends, something surprised and disturbed her "Eh? What happen? Why do you look at me like that? "
Everyone was staring at her with their mouths wide open, in awe for witnessing this astonishing level of preparation and knowledge about their enemy.
Preparation and knowledge of the enemy that raised countless questions and concerns
So many that they didn't know how to react
"Do you want my trackers or not?" Said Bulma insisting again as she delivered the briefcase, this time forcibly placing it in Ginger and Gohan's hands.
"Yes, it would be better to have that thing than to look for them blindly…
Although I am not going to use one of those gadgets similar to the ones Frieza, Vegeta and the others used
Let's go quickly to the city before something bad happens" Piccolo said accepting Bulma's gift on behalf of all the Z Warriors.
Piccolo's message had been very clear, even to the most idiotic.
They had no time to ask questions or decline this help, they must to leave as soon as possible and find those androids in the shortest possible time
"If you don't mind I'll go look for Yajirobe" Gohan said, who separated 1% of his power, creating in this way a clone that would go looking for his fat, rude and cowardly… more or less friend…
"Okay…
Bulma, keep the Senzu Bean for us "Goku said passing the responsibility of saving their second lives to someone who wouldn't participate in the conflict, as happened in the original show
"Why the hell are you giving them to me?
The ones who are going to fight are you.
In the event that you are seriously injured or need to recover energy, the most logical thing is that you have them well distributed" Bulma said handing the bag back to Goku in an attempt to make others use the common sense.
"Mmm ... you're right ...
Yamcha, do you keep them?" Goku asked throwing the bag at Yamcha, who accepted that responsibility
"Also, you don't need to give me Senzu Beans…
Last year I went to Karin's tower to get hundreds of them to do some experiments
I had brought a few in case you had forgotten" Bulma said to show who's the brain of the team again.
"Wow ... you've thought of everything" said Goku, amazed by the foresight of his first friend and traveling companion.
"Guys, stop wasting time
Those seven androids are inside the city" Said Ginger, who had time to put on the tracker, show Gohan and Krillin how to use it and locate the androids.
"Okay…
Let's go for them… "Goku said announcing the start of that expedition
And in this way our warriors descended towards the city in searching that known but at the same time unknown enemy

Desire Realm
In the Broly planet, in the Broly City, in the Broly Mansion ...
All of Broly's henchmen observed in real time the events carried out by the true protagonists of the original story
"Seven androids?!
What the hell happened?
There were only supposed to be two" Those who watched the android saga weeks before in crunchyroll (Meralman doesn't make money from this publicity, but I am open to negotiations) exclaimed
"Yes, seven ...
Don't you know the concept of the butterfly effect? " Broly asked his reviewers rhetorically
"Yes, but this change is too big" Kumagawa, a strong defender of the official contents of the shonen jump, protested
"Don't be picky….
Didn't Trunks / Cella's arrival on this timeline change things?
In the future of Trunks C-20 and C-19 never appeared, they were C-17 and C-18 ... and C-16 wasn't there too...
Butterfly effect…
Although well ... technically that wasn't a butterfly effect...
Akira Toriyama wanted the androids C-20 and C-19 to be the evil androids of the future of Trunks, but his editor didn't agree that an old man and a fat man were the bad guys of the saga ... that's why later they created C -17 and C-18, a boy and a pretty girl
But then the editor didn't like that either and they invented Cell, the typical evil monster of each saga ...
The fact is that my presence has changed many things ...
I warned you not to get bored" Said Broly explaining a little of the hidden history of Dragon Ball and also about the current present and future
"You mean you already know what will happen?" Yhwach asked, who despite being able to see the future couldn't see that far into the future (like Katakuri)
"Obviously ... but I'm not going to do spoilers ...
Just enjoy the movie" Said Broly as he materialized his classic movie pack
