The sun was hung low, the sky turning a purplish color. The fiery orb was just beginning to dip below the horizon. It was a normal day for everyone, except Gohan. The young saiyan didn't know how to react to this, it was all too much too fast. The last time he had seen West City, it had been in ruins yet now it was just like he remembered it when he was a child. It was overwhelming to say the least. He couldn't decide if he was delusional or if something even stranger had happened. It wouldn't be the first time something beyond the realm of imagination had happened to him. He walked in a daze at first, staring at all the buildings, watching the people chat as they went down the sidewalks, and the cars go whirring by. It was as if everything he remembered had been a lie.
Gohan was heading towards Capsule Corporation, the only place that he knew would have answers. He had considered going... home, or what he had considered home when his father had been alive. He had decided to take it slowly though, wanting to confirm that Trunks and Bulma were both there before he began to hope anything. He kept on the lookout though, knowing that it was a simple day like this that his world had been flipped upside down for the third time in his life. He could see the large building from here. He gripped the rounded part of the bottom of his left arm. He almost felt like it was there sometimes, he looked down, almost as if expecting it to reappear.
Gohan stopped for a moment on the sidewalk outside before he moved up to the door, taking a deep breath. He knocked heavily on the door. He took a few steps back from the door, glancing back at the people. It was surreal, especially since he had seen this city be destroyed by two monsters. Gohan nodded to himself before stepping back up to the door and banging his only hand upon it some more. He knew that someone he knew would have to be here. Trunks, Bulma, Dr. Briefs, or Mrs. Briefs. He waited, anxious to see the door open.

Trunks had been deep in thought, he was blankly staring out the window not even aware enough to see Gohan walking up to the door. He heard Gohan's knock which snapped him back to reality he walked to the door, some could say he looked like he couldnt talk but he was simply at a loss for words. They seemed to flood out of him all at once "Gohan you only have one What happened to your."" Trunks first mentioned his arm then the scar on gohans face. This wasnt possible, Trunks would have known if Gohan had lost an arm And Trunks wouldnt have just overlooked it either if he wasnt told."Oh uh come in." Trunks had relized they were still standing outside and opened the door to capsule corp and walked in unsure if Gohan was following he said, "Uh... what happened to you?" Trunks said curiously he had a feeling this might be a long visit from Gohan. "You can understand all the questions i have right? i mean last time i saw you, you still had an arm and there wasnt a scar on your face. Trunks was still oblivious this wasnt the Gohan that he had known yet one from another time line that he had taught trunks how to fight in.

Today was a normal day. Hardly cloudy with a ten percent chance of rain; pedestrians flooded the streets; there was an automobile accident at Main Street and 1st Avenue. As Eighteen sat behind the wheel of her Capsule Corp. hover car with a backseat full of groceries, she steered in the direction of the Kame House, where she resided.
Traveling in West City to do her shopping and store going, it was inevitable that she'd bypass the prominent edifice that belonged to Capsule Corp. She flew overhead, taking a moment to look down at the interaction going on near the home of Krillin's dear friends. A purple-headed Trunks conversed with a one-armed boy with black hair. The android thought nothing of young Mr. Briefs speaking with one of his friends, and so she took her eyes off of the pair and focused on driving her car.
The radio played nothing interesting. She sighed as she accelerated on the gas. Driving was much more boring than flying; but she couldn't resist testing out her new car.

As he casually hovered in the skies above West City, a rather confused Raditz was monkeying with his newly acquired scouter. Ever since his resurrection, Raditz couldn't find any amazingly high power levels on Earth one would expect this day and age. Was everyone truly so weak? Certainly if Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and others had long ago become Super Saiyans, Raditz would certainly feel their power? But alas, the world was a void....It seemed that Babadi and Bibidi did really get their wish....
Perhaps now is the time......FOR REVENGE!, Raditz said as he activated his scouter. Since the scouter seemed to function just fine, perhaps he was just going about this all wrong? With the playing field more equalized, Raditz now had to determine more carefully who was behind any power levels that he would scout out. Hopefully the Saiyan Warrior would get lucky and find Goku or Piccolo for another rematch. Only time would tell what Raditz would find.......

Gohan was shocked by Trunk's age, staring blankly at the now grown man. He had been nine years younger than him when he had last seen him. What used to be a fourteen year old was now fully as old as he was. He took a step inside the door, his eyes darting about as if trying to find something that was out of place, dangerous. "What happened to you? Last time I saw you..." He put his hand at about the height of his shoulder. "My arm and face... you don't know? The androids..." He growled, his hand clenching as he looked down at it in most impotent rage. "I don't understand any of the questions you have, I don't even understand my own."
The sound of a car accelerating caught his ear, something that wasn't normal to him. Gohan glanced backwards, a Capsule Corp hover car zooming past. What drew his attention though was the driver. It appeared to be a young woman, blonde hair, blue eyes, nothing very unusual. Except he knew her, she had been one of the two people that had destroyed everything he held dear and then took his life. "D... Did you see whose was driving that car Trunks?" Gohan was quite surprised by this development. Maybe this was his chance for redemption. He turned to look back at the other half saiyan. "Stay here Trunks." He said simply, before launching himself out the door and after the car that Android 18 was in.

Gohan's words made Trunks wonder alot more than he already was. Gohan had seen him very recently and now he thinks he only saw him when Trunks was a kid? It seemed Gohan was also shocked that Trunks was so much bigger and older. This assumption brought Trunks to yet another question, Why did Gohan look the same age as Trunks? Trunks had seen the exact same thing as Gohan and thought nothing of it, That is until Gohan asked who was driving the car. Trunks was about to answer when Gohan took off, Despite being told to stay here Trunks took off after Gohan. Trunks, had way too many questions to just leave unanswered Gohan had said The androids did that to his arm and face. That meant their were more androids most likely and that wouldnt be good. "Gohan wait!" Trunks yelled he couldnt understand what Gohan wanted to do with #18 and Trunks wasnt wondering about that so much about that since he had a million questions and only a few answers. Trunks could tell this was going to be a wierd story when it was completed.

In her rearview mirror, Android caught sight of a being flying behind her. For this person to be flying meant one of two things: she either was acquainted with the person, or would end up fighting the person. Little did she know that she'd probably end up doing both.
It was Gohan! A Gohan who lacked an arm and had a very large, prominent, permanent scar on his face. Had he lost a bar brawl? That'd be unlikely. Chi Chi would faint if she ever saw Gohan in this condition before fighting Goku and saying that it was all his fault.
But there was one thing that Eighteen was still baffled by - why was he coming after her at such an alarming rate?

"Mhmmm......Interesting" Raditz said was he raised one of his eyebrows. The Saiyan Warrior detected one of power level reading moving quite fast, undoubtedly flying somewhere close below. The signature was down near the traffic of West City, and certainly was moving too fast to be in a human automobile car. Flying that way in a civilian area seemed a bit peculiar to him. Perhaps something "fun" was about to go down below. "Well well, they can't have ALL the fun,"Raditz said as he flew in a bit lower to see if he could witness anything exciting.

Gohan glanced backwards at Trunks, wondering if he would still be able to stop him. It had been so long and he was weak, so much weaker than he had been. Was there a reason for this or did he just deteriorate while in Other World. He used to be able to go Super Saiyan, which would have made him one of the strongest beings in the universe. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that, nor was he as physically powerful as he used to be. The androids had been able to destroy him even when he was at the peak of his power... was it even possible for him to destroy something that was so powerful when he was in such a weak state?
"It's Android 18! She's the reason I don't have an arm!" Gohan roared, his thoughts solely focused upon defeating the cybernetic terror that was in the car. The only thing he could think of was to attack the thing that had ruined his life. He put on an extra burst of speed, landing in front of the car so that 18 had one of two choices, to hit him or to stop the car and get out. It was unlikely the car would do any real damage to him but perhaps this was different if Android 18 was driving it. He glared at the driver of the car, making it clear that he wasn't planning on a friendly encounter.

Trunks had almost wrapped his hand around Gohans ankle when Gohan said that she was the reason he didnt have an arm, Trunks stopped for a split second. That wasnt,couldnt be possible 18 had joined the zfighters and was married to Krillin Trunks didnt think even 18 could pull that good of a trick on them. When Gohan got infront of the car Trunks as fast as he could grabbed onto the back trying to stop 18 before she hit Gohan. "What are you talking about Gohan?!?!?!? Are you insane!" Trunks couldnt tell if he would be able to stop the car and he didnt know if 18 would stop so she didnt hit Gohan or not. Gohan had a glare that he had only ever seen a few times, it looked similar but not exactly the same as the one his father, Vegeta would give. Gohan looked like he was convinced that android 18 was actually the reason he didnt have an arm. Which although Trunks didnt know this was understandable.

While glancing at one-armed Gohan through her rear view mirror, Eighteen could feel the spike in his Power Level as he raced to pass over her hover car and place himself in front of her. "What is he doing?!" she asked herself. There would be no way she could stop in time - she'd end up running over the fool! Or so she thought. A powerful force was exerted on her back bumper, causing her car to stop abruptly and sending her forehead flying into the steering wheel. If it left a bruise, there'd be hell to pay.
"You two better have a damned good explanation for this!" Android 18 was now exiting her car, slamming the door closed as she made her way out. Even without her behind the wheel, the thing stayed levitating. "Well? Start talking!" she demanded, staring down the one-armed Saiyan. Trunks didn't seem to know what was going on, but Gohan made it very clear that he was up for a fight and willing to issue the challenge. After this little stunt, Eighteen would be more than happy to oblige.

Is that Kakarot?! Raditz said to himself, as he began to fly nearer to the unfolding scene. Now just three city blocks away in the air, he could see that there was a man wearing Goku like clothing, and of a similar build and height. Though it was difficult to tell from so far behind. The hair was different and oddly - an arm seemed to be missing. Unable to make out the other two figures there just yet, Raditz halted his advance and kept his distance enough to let the brewing battle unfold naturally.

"How can you not remember? I've seen her slaughter countless people!" Gohan felt at a loss as the only person that had kept him sane when the androids were at the peak of their mayhem, didn't have any clue as to what he was talking about. Gohan didn't understand any of this, but he hoped Trunks would trust him. "I'm stopping you." He growled at Android 18. He knew that she was an evil being and it was up to him to stop her if no one else would understand. His gaze went to the adult Trunks that was standing behind the car of his soon to be opponent. He wanted to tell him to leave, to go somewhere safe, yet it wasn't the same boy that he had needed to protect. Yet... somehow this Trunks seemed less motivated, less of a warrior.
"I have an explanation. You need to be destroyed." Gohan shouted, his index finger pointing at the blonde android. "AHHHHHH!" He let his ki flare as much as it could, the rush of power filling him. His eyes narrowed, deadly intention filling them. He lifted his singular hand over his forehead, aiming it directly at the woman. "Masenko!" He fired a yellow wave of ki, fired directly at what he considered the biggest threat to the planet.

Trunks' was confused Gohan seemed to have no memory of what had happened with the androids. Trunks felt Gohans' power level rising but he knew there was no point in trying to stop him from powering up. When Gohan yelled masenko Trunks only said . "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!" as he powered up he less than ethusiasticly threw a kick towards Gohan. As far as Trunks could tell Gohan was the one that was in the wrong, 18 had been doing nothing but driving. Trunks would have thought differntly maybe if he knew of this Gohan's timeline but since he didnt he knew no better. Trunks could tell from the stare that Gohan wore a little too well that Gohan wouldnt want to back down. He stood infront of Gohans way, and said Gohan, Tell me why your doing this and ill move if i think its worth attacking her."Trunks had his mind set on following this promise. Trunks was the son of Vegeta, and was slightky showing that making such a promise. Trunks had no clue if he could keep his promise, but Trunks didnt care he was going to find out why Gohan was acting like this.

Slaughter countless people? Why the nerve of that ki- oh, wait, she had murdered countless people.
But that was all in the past! Or so she'd thought. She'd married one of the Z fighters and bore him a child; how more apparent could it be that she'd given up those Red Ribbon army ways programmed into her so long ago? But just as she'd buried those cold, heartless, killing machine characteristics that this boy so feared, Eighteen could easily cause them to resurface. All she needed was one reason. One damned good reason. "I'm stopping you," he said. Not good enough.
Power Level? Hovering around 6,000. He was strong, but she was stronger. And she had the element of surprise too, for he had no way of telling just how powerful she was. Her readings told her a few more things; this one-armed Gohan was different than the two-armed Gohan: their ages varied, and their vital signs just didn't match up. Whoever he was... he wasn't the Gohan that everyone she was acquainted with knew and loved. "You need to be destroyed," he said. Talk was cheap; Android 18 would need more than that.
Whoa, what was that?! An incredible power level had entered the vicinity - it was awfully powerful! But then a sudden pocket of energy in condensed form and much closer to her own person made Eighteen's eyes pop. An attack had been launched at her, so she grunted and kicked upward, sending Gohan's ki attack zooming into the atmosphere to self-detonate and light up the sky, even brighter than the sun itself. Now that had done it. "Big mistake, kid!"
[/color] Android 18 would disappear for a second and then reappear just in front of Trunks, who was trying to play mediator and diplomat for this situation. Could he blame her for wanting to pursue combat? At this point it could be counted as self defense. She dashed at Gohan - zipped through the sky, even - and reeled her fist back. When she reached him, she'd unleash the fury of an eight strike and nine kick combo.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
