In 765 A.E., Goku suffered from a viral heart disease and died. In 766 A.E., Trunks was born. In the same year, Dr. Gero, a remnant of the Red Ribbon Army, awakened the ferocious Androids 17 and 18.
The Z Warriors were forced to face the enemy. Then, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Vegeta, and Piccolo died in battle. Gohan, who was only 9 years old, escaped because he was collecting Dragon Balls.
Twelve years passed quietly. One day in 778 A.E., the sky was black as ink. Wisps of green smoke rose everywhere. The earth was broken, with damaged and collapsed buildings, and a musty breeze blew through. Looking down at the earth from a high altitude, thousands of adjectives converged into the word despair. This was the forgotten world of Dragon Ball Original Timeline, in a ruined city destroyed by androids.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting half of a yellowed newspaper high into the sky, drifting away. In this messy ruin, there was a conspicuous small mound of earth. This small mound was actually a grave.
Several flowers of different colors were placed on the grave, swaying in the wind. Several bananas, two apples, and a bottle of water were neatly placed in front of the earthen grave.
Clearly, someone had intentionally placed these for sacrificial purposes. The soil was new, the yellow flowers had not yet withered, and the bananas and apples were still very fresh. Obviously, this was a new grave. We just don't know who is buried in it.
"Rustle, rustle!" Just then, a slight sound was heard. The small mound of earth shook, and the sand on it was pushed in all directions and rolled down.
Then, a pale hand broke out of the ground. A one-armed young man crawled out of the earth pit grave. He was pale, covered with wounds, and extremely weak. Just crawling out of the earth pit had consumed 90% of his strength.
He lay on the ground to rest for a while, finally recovered some strength, and then struggled to sit up. After sitting down, he spit out the mud in his mouth, and then pinched his nose with his only remaining right hand to clear out the sand in his nasal cavity.
After doing all this, the young man gasped and looked around blankly. "Where is this?" As soon as this question came into the young man's mind, his head felt like it was pierced by an iron needle, and it felt like it was about to split open.
"Ugh." He grabbed his head with the five fingers of his right hand and pulled out a lot of hair. Then, he buried his head between his legs and let out a dull roar like a beast.
Along with waves of tingling, a strange memory rushed into his mind. A few seconds later, the young man gasped, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and his whole body was soaked with cold sweat. He had transmigrated.
He had become Son Gohan in the Dragon Ball world. But he was not the Son Gohan who could turn into a Super Saiyan 2 and beat up Cell at the age of 9. He is an adult Son Gohan in the original timeline.
Now, his left arm was gone directly from the shoulder, leaving only his right arm. There is also a very eye-catching scar on his right eye. If the scar had been deeper, he might have lost his sight. And all this was thanks to the androids.
The scar on his face was left from the battle with the androids a few years ago. His left arm was blown up by Android 18 more than a year ago when he was trying to save Trunks. Even the serious injury now was also caused by Android 18.
He and this woman have an irreconcilable hatred. This Android 18 not only killed his relatives and friends, but even "himself" was killed by her. These two demons who only know how to kill and destroy have slaughtered hundreds of millions of lives in a year.
If he hadn't traveled through time and space to give Son Gohan's soul a ray of life, Son Gohan would have definitely died in this disaster. It is absolutely impossible for him to crawl out of the grave.
The two souls merged into one in an instant, indistinguishable from each other, and grew countless times larger in an instant. The seriously injured and dying body also regained some strength as a result.
"Pooh!" Son Gohan spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm with mud again, and then took the purified water in front of the grave. He clamped the bottle with his legs and then twisted the cap hard. He raised the bottle with difficulty, tilted his head back, took a few gulps, and then drank the whole bottle of water.
Then, Son Gohan ate all the bananas and apples. Anyway, they were sacrificed for him, and it would be a waste not to eat them. In the end times, wasting food is very shameful. What's more, his body now needs a lot of energy. These bananas and apples can only be said to be a drop in the bucket, which is not enough.
Son Gohan sat cross-legged and rested for a long time, but he never heard the 'ding' word he was counting on. "Alas, it seems that there is no golden finger this time." He sighed helplessly, and then slowly stood up. As he moved, the broken body immediately protested, and a tearing pain came.
"Ahh….., it really hurts." Son Gohan grimaced, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
This severely injured body had no idea how many bones were broken and how many internal organs were bleeding. But his perseverance was amazing. Although his whole body was in pain, it was not unbearable.
The most urgent thing to do now was to find a safe place to hide and heal his wounds. Otherwise, if he died just after crossing over, it would be a shame.
Although there was very little energy in his body, he could still fly. After determining the direction, Son Gohan mobilized his breath, his body floated in the air, and he slowly flew towards Bulma's house. Under the current circumstances, going to Bulma's place was the best choice.
The Capsule Corporation was attacked by androids several years ago, and many of its equipment and research results were destroyed, no longer as glorious as they once were.
But Bulma, the soul of the Capsule Corporation, is still alive. As long as Bulma is still there, the Capsule Corporation will continue to exist. Since the attack, Bulma moved the Capsule Corporation to a remote and inconspicuous corner of the Western Capital. And Son Gohan also knew very well that since the attack several years ago, the androids had not visited the Capsule Corporation again.
Therefore, the Capsule Corporation is a safe place for the time being. At least it will be safe in the next few years. More importantly, Son Gohan wanted to tell Bulma and Trunks as soon as possible that he was still alive. Trunks, who buried him with his own hands, must be very sad now.
An hour later, Son Gohan finally arrived at the Capsule Corporation. It was only a distance of more than 100 kilometers, but this time it took Son Gohan a full hour.
It can be seen how weak he was at this time. If it were any other time, it would probably take less than 10 minutes to cover such a short distance. After Son Gohan landed, he felt his legs go weak, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. He forced himself to cheer up, staggered to the familiar gate, and then patted it with great effort.
"Who?" A clear and loud shout was heard from inside the room. It was Trunks.
"It's me," Son Gohan felt like his eyelids weighed a million tons and he could hardly open them. There was a rush of footsteps in the room, and then the door was quickly opened.
A 12-year-old boy with purple hair rushed out instantly. He looked at Son Gohan, his lips trembling constantly, and tears had already blurred his eyes. Son Gohan put his hand on his head and said, "Trunks, you've been slacking off. You didn't even know who was approaching."
After that, Son Gohan couldn't bear the strong sleepiness anymore. His head tilted, his body softened, and he fell forward. Trunks was quick-witted and caught Son Gohan's body.
"I know, Brother Gohan." At this point, Trunks couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears, with tears and snot on his face. Although Son Gohan was covered in mud, Trunks was still afraid that his snot and tears would drip onto Son Gohan's body, so he kept wiping them with his sleeves, and finally, his whole face was stained.
Bulma also came out. Her eyes were also full of tears, but she is an adult after all, and she tried hard not to cry out loud. She took a deep breath, then patted Trunks on the shoulder and said, "Don't cry, take Gohan to bed so he can rest, he is seriously injured now."
"Yes, Mom." Trunks looked back at Bulma, stopped crying, and then carried Son Gohan into the house.
