On the beach of a small island lost in the middle of the ocean, we can see shirtless young boy with a Purple turtle shell on his back with long purple hair, with a relatively normal size but with a body that could be described as sculpted in ice.
He repeated a series of very precise movements. Like water that would move without constraints, a simply impressive fluidity. Next to him near the house was an old man, a young woman, a flying cat and a pig.
"Keep it up trunks, it's excellent!" Master Roshi said.
The young boy seemed imperturbable, he continued to perform a whole series of movements, each more impressive than the other.
The boy finally stopped and released the pressure.
"That's it Trunks! You finally finished your training in martial arts, it was simply perfect, I have nothing more to teach you, you assimilate all the techniques like a dry sponge."
"Thank you teacher. I am very grateful to you for accepting me as a disciple."
"Oh, don't sweat it. an old man like me is the only thing I can do for you and your mother."
"Come on let's stuff ourselves, today I caught a lot of fish like it's your last day here."
"Yes, come on trunks, Let's eat in your honor today."Puar and oolong said.
"Yes exactly, I prepared a lot for the future warrior." Launch said while smiling.
'Ugh, I really can't get accustomed to that smile of hers.'
Personally, I always preferred blue-haired Launch.
After this royal feast, I packed up my things and prepared to return to Capsule Corp. I miss my mother very much.
"Goodbye trunks, have a good trip. We'll see each other again soon when you and Gohan get rid of the Androids."
"Yes, goodbye, don't die." Puar and Oolong hugged me.
Then Launch came running over to hug me too while crying. I have to say that's it a bit embarrassing but I liked it. These guys won't die. I will make sure of that.
It's been 1 Year since I sensed a high ki clashing. Gohan must have start fighting against the androids. Truth be told, I want to join him right now but I would just be dead weight to him right as he must already be able to tap into super saiyan freely or he wouldn't go against 18 and 17.
So I start on the way, I make sure to check that the machine was working so that I am not spotted by the androids. I was flying at very low altitude over the water.
I got closer to the mainland, while seeing the western city from where I was. I speed up a bit to finally arrive at Capsule Corp.
The city even after 4 years without having seen it still has this aura of the apocalypse.
I still remember the day the androids arrived.
I move towards the hidden door at the back of the Capsule Corp. dilapidated. I ring the bell twice then I hear the sounds of tools hitting the ground.
"Yes yes, I'm coming right away."
Hearing your mother's voice after years always warms the heart.
"Mom, It's me, Trunks I'm home!"
"Trunks, I'm opening right now !"
The moment she opened I threw myself on her to give her a hug.
"MOM ! I missed you so much."
"Oh, Trunks, I missed you too, but I'm a bit dirty, so wait till I get a shower, will you."
"No, I missed you very much, a little oil doesn't matter."
"Trunks, you're a bit of a mama's boy !"
"Well, not like I'm denying it."
"Okay, get inside and tell me your stories."
"Okay Mom !"
So I went home, I spent my time talking about what I was doing at roshi's, mom seemed to be laughing a lot. We spent a lot of time talking. I told her how perverse Roshi was that he always managed to get himself punished. It was really fun to reunite with my mother.
Afterwards I explained to her that I felt the energy of Gohan confronting the androids. She didn't look surprised. Obviously it's about Gohan from the future after all.
After a good night's sleep, The next day Mom called me to show me something.
"Trunks, Voila! Your late father's Gravity Room is now ready for use! I still think it's too early for you but since you're a Half-saiyan, I guess it's okay."
"Thank you Mom !"
I enter the room. It is exactly the same as in the anime. Mom explained the controls to me so I'm going to increase gradually to see what level of gravity I start.
I start with ten times the gravity of the earth? It's already very effective so I'm starting to get carried away. It's very tough, I wonder how goku was doing to support it. Anyway I continued.
I remember it would be even better if I had senzus. Maybe Gohan just forgot about the existence of senzu. Yajirobe only fled Karine's Tower in the Black arc. Maybe they're hidden somewhere down there. But it seems impossible. There is supposed to be a village so 17 and 18 probably passed there.
I can still give it a try as Kami's place can scatter around the world if we withdraw the power pole.
I continued using the Gravity room for weeks. It gave me an insane power boost as I continued to reach new heights.
But suddenly, one day I sensed the energy of Gohan slowly decreasing. I had yet to start my training at 50 gravity. I had quite the confidence but I knew it's not anywhere enough to outspeed the androids.
"What do I do ?" I was biting my nails and wondering what I would do.
"BAAAAM !" I slapped my face
"What the fuck, why am I overthinking, I need to go and help him !"
"Ah ! I have an idea."
"MOM, I'm getting out can you give me that ?"
"Are you sure ?"
"Yes, mom, I need to help Gohan or he might die!"
"Okay, but be careful."
"Okay, mom."
