Exploration

- Age 773 -

- POV - Trunks

It was complete apocalypse where cities were decimated, humanity were vaporized, where everyday no one knows when they will perish. Ruins were left alone since Androids never came to ruined locations or sheltered places it became the safe heaven for people.

Gohan was working as forefront Fighter and a leader for the people, he was being the light that shone brightly. but like all the worlds the threat wasn't just the Androids but common people that used chaos for their on self indulgent.

It was everyone to themselves, so someone like Gohan cleaned up after Androids destruction. He helped stop gang wars and form alliance which not only helped people that suffered from Androids but also provide supplies towards the poor.

Yet Gohan was no match against Androids, I couldn't comprehend how powerful they were since I faced against Gohan in his full power, I know for sure he was not weak that just tells how powerful were those things, the only good thing was that the Androids had a glaring weakness, they couldn't sense living being which ensured some survival chances against facing them.

Since rebirth I was wondering how powerful Beerus was or someone like the Grand Priest, for me where a Gohan's level felt like a mountain, something far above the reaches for me I couldn't close to assume how it must feel to be them.

"Trunks! Breakfast ready."

"Coming mom" Food wasn't much of a problem even in a world ending threat hanging around, there were animals to hunt and we had greenhouse which were looked after by mom.

Not to mention since we had some connection with some people to trade some variety of vegetables it wasn't that different, it was alot harder when I was kid, lucky we had some supply capsules.

"Trunks, slow down! food not going anywhere"

"Aye kwow.."

"Don't talk while eating!" Mom took a napkin and wiped my mouth.

"Anyway, when you done with your training could you perhaps get me a Flux capacitor! I think we have some around our old house by the ruins. although not sure whether scavengers took them, check for it." Flux Capacitor? I didn't think Mom already started on the building the time machine.

"sure thing" we chatted most of time about my experiences with Gohan and my training afterwards I bid her farewells and headed towards a canyon.

"997" "998" "999"

"1000" 'heavy breathing' I fell down after finishing my sets done, 1000 of situps, pushup, crunches, pullups even doing jabbing in the air same movement 1000 times and focusing all the ki in my body for a simple movement was exhausting and has huge strain in my body even then, I felt like all the training i'm doing these days are not helping me in growing and against Gohan just left me disappointing with myself.

Looking at the bright blue sky, I started to image train against Gohan at his full power. out of 10 fights I only barely won 1 but it costed a arm and left me mortally wounded.

If I couldn't even hope to fight against someone like him, i'm sure Androids are something I shouldn't even think of going against, yet I have this feeling deep within me that simulates me to go against them even while knowing I would die, it makes me wanting it all the more.

Ohh god it seemed as if i'm turning into battle junkie not to mention a masochistic, taking few more breaths I lied down and closed my eyes, pulsing the ki around me slowing I extended outside, pushing as far as I could.

Synchronizing my breaths and ki pulsing I could form something like a pseudo sonar, I felt the structure of the trees and the ground its on, even the roots and leaves slowing I started to perceive surrounding living creatures from birds to smallest insects.

*Growling* Soon hunger broke me out of the state, it felt really great rather than the high adrenaline rush sometimes things like these were refreshing.

Fishing was something I enjoyed even though i'm not patient which prompting made me resort to using ki blade to fish, it served as a practical application as it required precise control of ki if it has more it does more damage towards it if it less that I can't form ki blade which greatly improved my skills.

Even though I was improving at fast rate I felt my personal training was pretty much useless, something like Gravity chamber or Hyperbolic time chamber might help in getting strong faster,

one requires me either to learn how to build it or ask my mom whom is not very fond me in training and the location of Lookout is not known it might even be destroyed at this point.

6 years later gohan will die until then I have to at least turn into a super saiyan which seemed practically impossible although I told him that I want to train so that it feels good but that's part of it, If he dies and I don't turn into a super saiyan i'm pretty much dead no all of the timeline is dead since i'm the cause that creates some of the alternative timeline.

Somehow I felt like some placed a huge weight on my shoulders.

A streak of white light was passing through the terrains quickly reaching towards the ruins of West City, descending towards the capsule house the figure seemed to be that of a boy that has lavender hair.

"boss, look someone's in sky"

"Is it those damned Andriods???" "What?" "I thought they don't come to the ruins"

"Give me the spy glass"

"Sir! it seems like there going towards the CC dome"

"Hmm, is it the Golden warrior?" "Get all the crew ready boys, it seems we got ourselves a jackpot!" While some had concerns they weren't to keen on opposing their leader.
