Dragon-Ball AF (After-Future)

Spirit Killer Tablos Arc

In The Year Age 882, 120 Years Following The Unforgettable Defeat Of Frieza On The Planet Namek, A New Chapter Unfolded In The Timeline Of Future Trunks. Now At The Age Of 116, With 147 More Years Of Life Ahead, Trunks Had Settled Into A Life Of Relative Peace With His Wife Mai, And Together They Cherished Their Daughter, Orchid. But As Fate Would Have It, Peace Was Never To Last In The Life Of A Saiyan. A Sinister Power Had Landed On Earth, One That Stirred Memories Of Destruction And Devastation. That Power Belonged To None Other Than Tablos—A Being Who Looked Remarkably Similar To A Saiyan But Carried An Aura Far Darker. Known Across Galaxies As "The Spirit-Killer Of Universe 7," Tablos Was A Being Of Formidable Strength, Rumored To Be The Third Brother Of Goku And Raditz, Shrouded In Mystery And Myth. Stories Whispered Of His Unyielding Hatred, His Terrifying Power, And His Mission To Purge All Realms Of Life. The Ominous Meeting Came Swiftly. Feeling A Malevolent Presence In The Atmosphere, Trunks Sensed That This Enemy Was Unlike Any He Had Faced Before. Drawing Upon Decades Of Intense Training And Steeling Himself For The Fight Ahead, Trunks Roared As He Ascended Into Super Saiyan 3 Rage. The Transformation Pushed His Power To Unprecedented Levels, His Aura Blazing, The Ground Quaking Beneath His Feet. Yet, As Their Battle Began, It Became Clear That Even This Would Not Be Enough. Tablos Was A Relentless And Calculating Warrior, With Ki Control So Precise That He Blocked Trunks's Strikes Almost Effortlessly, Countering With Ruthless Efficiency. The Earth Trembled As They Clashed, Each Strike A Wave Of Raw Energy That Shattered Mountains, Razed Forests, And Scarred The Ground Itself. Trunks Summoned His Strength, Launching An Onslaught Of Attacks In A Desperate Bid To Outmatch Tablos. But Tablos, Smirking With Cold Confidence, Absorbed And Redirected Each Blow, Sending Trunks Crashing Back With A Simple Flick Of His Wrist. Their Struggle Painted The Landscape In Destruction, But Tablos's Power Seemed To Know No Bounds. It Was Then That Orchid, Trunks's Daughter, Entered The Fray. A Fierce Young Warrior, She Inherited Her Father's Saiyan Pride And Undaunted Spirit. Despite Her Young Age, Orchid Joined Her Father With Unwavering Resolve, Transforming Into Her Own Super Saiyan Form. Together, They Executed A Flurry Of Synchronized Attacks, Hoping To Overwhelm Tablos With A Coordinated Assault. Yet Tablos Deflected Their Combined Strikes With Chilling Ease, His Movements Quick And Calculating, Like A Viper Striking Its Prey. His Ki Flared, And With Each Swipe Of His Hand, He Retaliated With Such Intensity That Even The Heavens Seemed To Tremble. But Hope Was Not Lost. Just As Tablos Prepared To Land A Devastating Blow On The Two Exhausted Saiyans, A Familiar Silhouette Appeared In The Sky. It Was None Other Than Future Gohan, Thought To Have Perished Years Ago, Now Mysteriously Revived And Standing As A Silent Force On The Battlefield. The Sight Of His Mentor And Friend Filled Trunks With Renewed Strength, And Orchid's Spirit Surged As The Long-Lost Hero Descended, Eyes Blazing With A Warrior's Determination. With Gohan's Arrival, The Battle Took A New Turn. His Mastery Over The Ultimate Form Of Super Saiyan Allowed Him To Meet Tablos Head-On, Matching His Strength And Speed. The Intensity Of Their Exchange Was Unmatched, A Battle That Transcended Mortal Limits. Energy Blasts Tore Through The Air, Their Impacts Felt Miles Away As Gohan Engaged Tablos In A Fierce, Deadly Dance, Striking With Pinpoint Precision Honed Over Years In Solitude. Tablos, Realizing The Fight Had Taken A Drastic Turn, Decided To Show His True Power. Unleashing His Full Potential, He Underwent A Monstrous Transformation, His Aura Surging With Dark, Godly Energy. His Hair Took On A Silvery-Black Hue, His Aura Blazing With An Ominous Glow As He Revealed His Ultimate Form: Super Saiyan 5. In This State, Tablos Was A Force Beyond Comprehension, Wielding God-Ki, Ultra Instinct, And The Powers Of Hakai And Elemental Manipulation. The Three Warriors, United But Exhausted, Felt The True Depth Of Tablos's Power. As The Battle Raged On, Tablos Unleashed Devastating Blasts, His Energy Rippling Like Dark Waves Across The Battlefield. In A Moment Of Desperation, Tablos Launched A Massive, Merciless Ki Blast Straight At Trunks And Orchid. But Before The Fatal Strike Could Land, Future Gohan Intervened, Shielding Them From The Blow And Taking The Brunt Of The Attack Himself. Injured But Determined, Gohan Urged Trunks And Orchid To Retreat Momentarily, Recognizing The Futility Of Their Current Strength Against Such An Opponent. Their Journey Took Them To Beerus's Planet, Where Gohan Explained His Years Of Intense Training In Otherworld And His Purpose In Returning. With The Aid Of Whis And Beerus, Trunks, Orchid, And Gohan Trained In Whis's Staff, Where Time Moved Differently, Granting Them An Entire Year's Worth Of Training. Within That Time, They Faced Excruciating Challenges, Each Mastering Their Ki, Unlocking The Path To Godly Power, And Learning To Manipulate Their Auras With Greater Precision. Trunks's Journey Was Especially Grueling, As He Absorbed God-Ki And Finally Reached The State Of Super Saiyan God. Returning To Earth As New Warriors, Trunks, Orchid, And Gohan Confronted Tablos Once More, Their Energies Blazing With Divine Power. Trunks, Now In His Super Saiyan God Form, Challenged Tablos Head-On, Each Strike Crackling With The Power Of A God. Orchid, Harnessing A Newfound Strength, Matched Her Father's Energy, And Gohan, Whose Mastery Was Honed To Its Peak, Stood By Them, Unwavering. In An Awe-Inspiring Final Clash, Trunks And His Allies Poured Every Ounce Of Their Strength Into The Fight. The Three Warriors Combined Their Powers, Forging A United, Indomitable Front Against Tablos. With A Devastating Blow, Trunks Landed The Final Strike, A Wave Of Energy That Shattered Tablos's Defenses. But In A Final Act Of Defiance, Tablos Smirked, Admitting That He Had Indeed Found A Worthy Match. With A Chilling Laugh, Tablos Drew His Last Breath And Disappeared Into The Afterlife, His Spirit Unbroken. In Otherworld, Tablos Was Met By None Other Than Goku, His Elder Brother, For The First Time. Their Spirits Ignited As They Faced Off In An Ethereal Clash, Brother Against Brother In An Endless Dance Of Power And Pride. Meanwhile, On Earth, The Dust Settled, And The Aftermath Of The Battle Was Bittersweet. Trunks, Orchid, And Gohan Stood Victorious, But The Peace They Had Won Came At A Price. As The Warriors Recovered, A Mysterious Figure From The Time Patrol Appeared, Offering Trunks A Chance To Join Their Ranks And Preserve The Multiverse. And Trunks Agreed.
