The world of Future Trunks is truly in turmoil.
In the future, Trunks is the only warrior left to face overwhelming enemies. After defeating the androids, new threats emerged—first Majin Buu, and then Black Goku appeared in his wake.
Black Goku's actions led to the destruction of Trunks' universe, which was never restored. Later, Trunks traveled to a different timeline, one where another version of himself already existed.
To assist, Goku decided to travel to the future with Trunks and use the Namekian Dragon Balls to resurrect the Z Warriors of that timeline.
"Really, thank you so much, Goku," Trunks said, expressing his gratitude.
After their discussion, the two set out to meet the Z Warriors. Goku explained to them that the androids would appear in three years. These androids would be incredibly powerful, and in Trunks' world, they had annihilated all the Z Warriors. He urged everyone to train diligently over the next three years.
Before leaving, he entrusted Gohan with explaining the situation to Chi-Chi and asked him to stay with Piccolo during these three years.
After providing all the necessary instructions, Goku and Trunks boarded the time machine. Under the watchful eyes of the group, the time machine vanished, heading to the future.
--------------------------
The Future World.
Android 17 and Android 18 were wreaking havoc in the city.
"This is so boring. Trunks hasn't shown up, and there's no one new to play with," Android 18 muttered, sitting on the ruins, swinging her legs in boredom.
"You're the impatient one. Before you even had a chance to play with the humans, you killed them all," Android 17 said, raising his hands in exasperation.
As they contemplated heading to the next human settlement, a powerful ki surged from the distance.
"It's Trunks' aura. Is he making himself this obvious because he's in such a rush to die?"
"Alright, let's have some fun with him."
--------------------------
In the Open Field.
Goku and Trunks had just stepped out of the time machine. To avoid endangering innocent lives, they had chosen to land in a deserted area. Trunks then released his ki to lure the androids to the location, where Goku planned to destroy them.
In his previous life, Goku had heard that the androids in Trunks' timeline were far more brutal and inhumane than those in his own. They were nothing more than killing machines. Determined to save this future, Goku resolved not to let the androids survive this battle.
Just moments after Trunks released his energy, the androids arrived in front of them.
"You… you're Goku! What's going on? Didn't you die decades ago? How are you still here?" Android 17 exclaimed, shocked to see Goku standing behind Trunks.
"Don't bother worrying about how he came back, 17. Our purpose is to kill Goku," Android 18 interjected coldly. "And now that he's right in front of us, we finally get the chance."
Android 18, without hesitation, took a fighting stance and charged straight at Goku. She flexed the muscles in her right leg and swiftly aimed a powerful kick at Goku's head.
Goku immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan, easily dodging Android 18's kick before grabbing her right leg. Without hesitation, Goku leaped into the air and slammed Android 18's body into the ground.
'Boom!'
A massive crater formed on impact, scattering debris everywhere.
"Argh!" Android 18 cried out in pain. She quickly retaliated, launching a barrage of energy blasts toward Goku.
Goku extended his other hand, effortlessly deflecting the incoming blasts. The attacks struck the surrounding rocks, triggering violent explosions and leaving the terrain riddled with craters.
Before Android 18 could recover, Goku drove his right fist into her stomach with tremendous force. The impact was so intense that it left an imprint of his fist on her torso.
"18!" Android 17 shouted, unable to stay idle as he witnessed his sister being overpowered. He charged at Goku, attempting to grab him to create an opening for Android 18 to escape.
Anticipating the move, Goku turned and delivered a heavy kick to Android 17, sending him flying hundreds of meters into a distant ridge.
Taking advantage of the moment, Android 18 leaped from the crater and quickly distanced herself from Goku. However, Goku watched her retreat without pursuing her immediately.
When Android 18 reached what she thought was a safe distance, Goku teleported directly behind her. Sensing his sudden presence, she panicked and swung a fist backward without looking.
Goku stood firm, catching her fist with one hand. Before she could react further, Goku twisted her arm slightly.
'Crack!'
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!" Android 18 screamed as her arm was bent at an unnatural angle.
"Damn you… Damn you, Goku! I'll kill you!" Android 18's eyes flared red with fury as she launched another desperate round of attacks, ignoring the gap in their strength.
This time, Goku showed no mercy. He hurled Android 18 into the sky and began charging a Turtle Style Kamehameha Wave in his palms. With a burst of energy, he unleashed the powerful attack directly at Android 18.
Caught in the devastating blast of Kamehameha Wave, Android 18 was reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind—not even a final word.
Nearby, Android 17 emerged from the rubble, his face twisted with rage.
"You… you actually killed 18…" he growled, trembling with anger. Despite his fury, Android 17 knew he was no match for Goku. Survival now took precedence over revenge.
As Android 17 prepared to flee and hide, Goku appeared before him in an instant and drove his fist into his stomach.
Android 17 clutched his abdomen in pain and collapsed to the ground, groaning.
"You've killed far too many people here. Now go to hell and reflect on your actions."
A glowing ball of Kamehameha energy formed in Goku's hand, and the blue wave engulfed Android 17 entirely, erasing him from existence.
"That... that was so amazing!" Trunks exclaimed, having watched the battle unfold.
"As expected of Goku, he eliminated the androids with such ease. If the late Gohan could see this, he'd be so happy!"
"Hey, Trunks, it's time we go find Bulma," Goku said, waving to Trunks as he reverted from his Super Saiyan form.
