Chapter 83: Android 21, The pacifist

On a plain grass field.

A muscular man with an orange mohawk was sitting while looking at the sun that was setting.

Despite his appearance, he had a gentle soul.

"Sixteen...." 21 who appeared near him said as she looked at the man.

"No, ... You are not sixteen. You are Gevo." She said as the man that was in front of her became a little boy.

He smiled at her.

When she looked at him she didn't know what to say.

Should she say Sorry for trying to bring him back to life in spite of his wishes?

Should she apologise for not respecting what he wanted?

Should she apologise for not being there for him when he needed her like a real mother should have?

"I am sorry." 21 said to Gevo.

"Why?" the boy asked.

"For....." She didn't know why she was apologising or what she had to apologise about.

But she thought that she had to apologise to him.

"Everything." She continued.

Before she knew it tears were starting to drop down from her face.

"..." He didn't reply to her and let her cry to her heart's content.

He only looked at her with pity in his eyes.

He walked to her to hug her.

"It's okay." He consulted her.

"It's not your fault." He said.

"You tried to be with me since you were conscious. And knowing that is enough for me." The boy said.

He knows that 21 is someone who is programmed after his mother.

But at the end of the day, she was not his mother.

She was someone who had no purpose other than being his "mother".

Gevo who is known as Android 16 was what you would call a pacifist.

Someone who would not want to hurt others even if his life is in danger.

But in the past, he was forced to fight for his friends and peace despite his beliefs.

The world is a cruel place, not suitable for someone like him to exist in.

As long as Free will exist the world will never be able to find peace.

While he was hugging 21 he muttered something to her before disappearing.

-------------------------------

21 woke up from her dream.

She was in a small one-bedroom apartment.

There were not many things in that room.

There is a picture of Gevo.

A few items such as an electric kettle, microwaves, a stove, a small plastic box that has kitchen appliances and a small wardrobe that has a full body mirror.

It was not very large and didn't even have a separate kitchen but for 21 it was liveable.

"It's that dream again." She said as she got out of the bed.

And picked up her glasses.

She went into the shower to take a quick bath.

Changed her clothes.

Have an instant ramen for breakfast.

Before picking up that white lab coat that was on the coat hanger and went out.

There was a name tag on her lab coat.

That said Android 21. Head Researcher of Capsule Cooperation.

All her life she was trying to be Vomi. But she now knows that she is not her.

She is Android 21. Her own person.

--------------------------

She has become even stronger than she was in the past. Goten thought as he passed by 21 in the main lobby of Capsule Corporation.

She was even stronger than before separating herself into two parts.

He was confused.

Although he thought that her recovering the same amount of power that is comparable to her other self was a possibility but he didn't know about her absorbing Super Perfect Cell and 16 later that day.

So her becoming stronger was a mystery to him.

But he didn't care. But because he knows that she is now a warrior who fights for peace.

"Hey. What are you dozing off for? Let's go. Mai and the others are waiting for us." Trunks called out to Goten.

"You should not call your sister and Marron the others," Goten replied to Trunks while smiling.

Goten and his friends were able to relax for a while as peace returned.

He didn't know how long it would last but Goten knew that he should enjoy it while he still could because in the world that he was living in a world-ending threat could just pop out of nowhere.

-----------------------------

In the future timeline where Goten never existed another man is also fighting for peace.

"Dammit. The lock is broken." A tall blue-haired man said as he tried to enter the Capsule Corporation main building which was now worn out.

He was accompanied by a pale-skinned girl with long black hair who was holding a shotgun.

"I have no choice." He said as he launched a ki blast at the door destroying it.

"Hey. What if he noticed us?" The girl said to the boy.

"We will be safe inside." He reassured.

"You have returned." A man who was covered in a dark silhouette said to the boy.

"Haaaa." The boy launched a ki blast at the dark silhouette.

"Mai. Hurry. Get inside." He said as he pulled the hand of the girl as they ran into the capsule cooperation building.

"Hahaha. You can't hide from me." the dark silhouette said as he followed the boy and the girl.

"Mai. Go on without me. The time machine is right there." He said as he pulled out the sword that he was carrying on his back.

"I will hold him off as long as I can." He said as he dashed toward the man who just sent him flying away with a slap to the face.

The man in the silhouette revealed himself as he looked at the boy.

It was Goku. But it was not him at the same time.

He just has the body of Son Goku but his soul is that of a divine being on a higher tier than Noth Kai.

"Black." The boy said as he looked at the man.

The boy's name was Trunks.

A warrior from a different future who has to survive in a world without Goku.

And he is now having to face someone who is using Goku's body to threaten the lives of his beloved friends and family.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Linn_Thit_6164 Linn_Thit_6164

After 21 was defeated, 17 was still floating on the sea for a few days until he was rescued by a local fisherman.

Chapter 84: Trunks from the Future

A ship appeared in the middle of the air.

It has the words "1 Capse Corp." printed on it.

There is also the word "Hope" written on the side.

The crushed landed into the pound.

"What is that?" Bra who was nearby said as she went to check the machine.

Although it was only a week since the Android 21 incident happened Bra has become much stronger and older.

She and Marron used the time chamber for two days after 21's defeat.

She thought that she was too weak as she had to be saved by the clone of a much weaker Vegeta who did not even have the Super Saiyan God transformation by Trunks when the 21 incident happened.

"Wait. What is happening? This guy looked just like Trunks?" Bra said as she saw Future Trunks who was inside the ship.

It was a time machine.

"You are right. He looked just like him." Marron agreed with her while she was eating fries.

"Marron. Wait here for a bit. I will go and get Mom." Bra said as she flew towards the place where Bulma was at.

-----------------------------

At that time in the world of Kai.

"Ha." Trunks yelled out as he swung his sword at North Supreme Kai.

Trunks have become a little more muscular and his hair has grown to the point where it reaches his neck.

"You are improving. But there is still room for you to grow." North Supreme Kai said to Trunks as he repelled Trunks's attack.

Trunks was mainly training his swordsmanship so he was limiting his power but even after limiting his power, he was still stronger than North Supreme Kai as Trunk's ki control is not as good as Goten's.

So North Supreme Kai being able to knock away Trunk's attack is very impressive.

Trunks is not able to overwhelm him since the fight begins.

Showing how powerful North Supreme Kai is with his sword.

Mai was watching him from the sidelines while having tea with the other Supreme Kais.

"Trunks seem to be struggling." She said.

"It's to be expected. In terms of swordsmanship, North Supreme Kai is the best in the universe." Shin said to Mai.

"Really?" She was shocked.

"Even Goten was never able to best him in one-on-one swordsmanship after his training whenever he had to limit his power to match North Supreme Kai's power," Shin added.

He was right as the reason why Goten never used the sword despite mastering it is that although he had learned everything from the North Supreme Kai.

He had not surpassed him.

---------------------------

At that time Goten was meditating in his room.

He was sparring with Beerus in his mind.

He was using his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form combined with ultimate and Beerus was using the auto dodge skill and his cheat skills that let him grow stronger as the fights went on.

They fought for a while but the result was always the same.

Beerus keeps up with Goten in the beginning but as the fight goes on he becomes stronger and always ended defeating him.

The only saving grace is that Beerus's auto-dodge ability does not seem to be completed just yet.

Goten opened his eyes.

His body was shaking and he was terrified. Normally he would have been fine even if he lost but in his vision, Beerus erased him with the move called "Hakai".

He tries to calm himself down.

"It's not enough." He said.

Seriously what is Beerus's limit? Is there any way he could go even further beyond his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form Goten thought as he got up.

Then suddenly he sensed a high power level.

And it feels kind of familiar to him despite he has never sense anything like that before.

He also sensed Goku and Vegeta's presence around that familiar power level.

"What is that?" He said as he used instant transmission to get to that place.

-----------------------------

When he arrived he saw a tall thin man who looked like Trunks lying on the bed.

Goku, Vegeta, Bra, Marron and Bulma were also present there.

"Is that Trunk? What is happening here?" He asked.

"Oh. Goten. It's been a while." Goku said as he greeted his son.

But at that moment the person who looked like Trunks woke up.

He then saw Goku and he becomes angry.

"You.... You bastard," he said as he transformed into Super Saiyan 2 and dashed forward to punch Goku.

"What are you doing?" Bra said as she transformed into her controlled form and caught his fist.

This guy is powerful. He might be as strong as Dad in Super Saiyan 3. She thought in her mind as she looked at the person who looked just like Trunks.

"Trunks... From the future?" Goten asked as he looked at him.

"Future?" Bra said in confusion.

There are a few differences between him and Trunks.

Trunks is currently a teenager and the person who was in front of him looked like someone in his twenties.

This Trunks's hair is shorter. And While he was taller he was less muscular. And lastly, the hair colour is slightly different.

Trunks have lavender colour hair and this Trunks have blue hair.

And not only that he might be too weak compared to Trunks.

He is as strong as Bra but he is still weaker than every other fighter present here, including Marron.

"Hey. What the deal?" Goku asked Future Trunks.

"Goku? Is that you?" He said as he started to come to his senses.

"I thought you died in Cell's blast." Future Trunks asked as he looked at Goku.

"Hahaha. Well,..... A lot of things happened since that time. And I end up coming back to life." Goku said while scratching his head.

"What is going on, Trunks?" Bulma asked as she looked at him.

"Mom." He hugged her while he cried.

"!" Vegeta was a little shocked by Trunks's actions.

He could tell from his actions that something had happened in the future.
