Humanity (Trunks x OC)

Part 13

Trunks nods to Goku. "Thank you. My name is Trunks and this is Julliet. This is going to sound really strange, but we're not from this time. We traveled here with a time machine, 20 years from the future." Trunks starts to explain, shocking and amazing Goku simultaneously as he drops this information on him.

"Vegeta was right. Only he, yourself and Gohan have Saiyan blood and I got mine from him. He's my father." Trunks drops the second bomb. 21 can't help but chuckle at the face Goku pulls.

"What?! You're kidding?!" he exclaims. "You are absolutely sure that Vegeta is your father?" he asks, showing a little skepticism.

"Yes. I'm half Saiyan and half human." Trunks replies calmly.

"You're serious." Goku states more than asks as he suddenly looks at Trunks with whole new eyes. "Vegeta's son...My gosh." he breathes, before looking back at the group behind him, or more directly at Vegeta.

"I will be born two years from now." Trunks reveals as Goku laughs excitedly.

"No kidding? Vegeta's going to be a daddy!" One would think that two people traveling from another time to see him would be the biggest news, but apparently, Goku's priorities are different.

"Goku." Trunks nearly sighs as the man starts to get carried away. "We didn't come here to tell you that." he says, trying to get Goku to focus. It works as Goku turns back to them, curious about the serious tone in Trunk's tone.

"In three years, on the morning of May 12th, at 10 a.m., a horribly destructive duo will show up on an island nine miles South-West of South city. They have dreadful power, even by our standards. They're monsters Goku, that's the best way to describe them. They're monsters. Once this pair surfaces, the Earth and everything you know and love will be gone for good." Trunks starts to explain, causing 21 to look away uncomfortably, only to be surprised as Trunks lowers his grip from her shoulder to clasp onto her hand. One reason is to get a grip on himself and the other way in an attempt of consolation.

"What's the deal? Are they aliens?" Goku wonders, looking perturbed by the news.

"No, they are both androids, created right here on Earth. Their creator is Gero, Dr Gero, the old mastermind responsible for the Red Ribbon army. Do you remember?" Trunks continues, as he tries not to flinch as 21 tightens her grip when he mentions the dreaded name.

It had come to her, to ask Goku to prevent the Julliet of this time to be captured by Gero, but once talking about it to Trunks and Bulma, she had decided against it. It was hard, but she finally reached the conclusion that should she be on friendly terms with Goku, her being an android might weaken his resolve in destroying 17 and 18. It's not like he can prevent them from being made into androids as their history is rather obscure and they do not know where they were made.

It felt unjust, but she believed it would be better in the end. She would have to sacrifice 'herself' for the greater good. Trunks was pretty bummed about the decision as well, but didn't argue. She could tell it worried him though.

"What's his plan? What is Dr. Gero trying to accomplish?" Goku asks when 21 finally snaps out of her thoughts, realizing that she lost track of the conversation for a moment.

"It's not certain what his deal is, because he was destroyed by his own creations the moment he woke them. They acted on their own since and just for the heck of it, destroy everything and anyone that comes across their path. They like doing what they do, not caring for anything but themselves." 21 sketches for Goku.

"Living in our time is like living in a nightmare. Always running and hiding and looking for a way out." Trunks adds in a severe voice.

"Wow." Goku breathes. "You guys defeated Frieza in a flash, but yet from what you're saying, these androids are even stronger than you." he muses.
