New Beginnings

Notes:

This is a Mirai/Future timeline one-shot with the coupling of Mirai Gohan x Piccolo, after the event of Gohan's death in The History of Trunks ova special. I really love Mirai Gohan, his mentoring of Trunks, and personality overall. I feel as though one of the reasons he wanted to train Trunks was to extend what Piccolo had given to him. And seeing so many beautiful art pieces and a doujinshi entitled 'Hope' I became inspired to write something for Piccolo and Gohan's future counterparts. I adore Gohan's future, I had to have something written for him, and with a new chance to be happy again after going through so much.
I hope you enjoy your read :)

"You know you can't win; you can't destroy what I really am."

Gohan clenched his right hand into a tight fist, holding his arm up before him, as he prepared for anything that could come. He remained in a guarded stance, surrounded on either side, by the twin androids. His gaze shifted towards android 17 right before him, and 18 who was slowly approaching him from behind.

The two had just wreaked havoc upon another town of innocent people, ending countless lives, and destroying buildings for the mere sake of 'bonus points'.

The mere thought of the cyborg-siblings made it quite easy for him to transcend again. To become lost in his rage as a Super Saiyan. The rage boiling inside Gohan was almost too much, as he stood between the two, clad in his father's orange and blue colors. He looked between the androids, both were so smug and amused it was sickening, all of this was likely just another silly game to them! The look of fear which was once housed in Gohan's aqua-green eyes had gone long ago, now only to be replaced with an enraged flash of hatred geared towards the two that had taken so much from him.

"Even if you manage to kill this body someone even stronger would surface and take my place!"

Gohan couldn't suppress the growls that would follow as he looked again into the heartless eyes of the artificial humans. Anger swelled within the core of the young half-Saiyan, as his glare intensified, switching his gaze to lock between both 17 and 18, both wearing a cocky, amused smirk upon their lips as they took their time approaching him. Step by step.

"Not one death will go on unaccounted for, not one!"

Gohan's voice had lowered, and his tone turned venomous, as he vowed to give everything he had again to save this planet. Gohan's bright gold colored energy continued to grow around his body, surrounding him with a shield of lightning. Gohan finally started to let it go, his near-blinding fury unleashes, as with the younger half-Saiyan still out of harm's way, there was nothing stopping him from giving it everything to completely destroy the two. There was no holding back!

Blow after blow, Gohan fought against the two powerful androids. Jabs, kicks, and destructive energy blasts mercilessly assaulted him, from both of the android twins. There was no time to make mistakes here, as he blocked or shielded himself against all of the approaching attacks. He made sure not one ounce of his energy would be wasted, and that he was giving it everything he had for all the people of earth. All those he held so dearly to him. He'd strike with powerful blasts of energy, and defended himself with the light blue energy shield whenever possible. However, the battle was beginning to become one-sided. With Gohan still recovering, and being outmatched by the overpowered cyborgs around him.

Gohan flew high above the androids, managing to fend them off and unleash a particularly powerful Masenko blast of energy. For a while, he was certainly keeping up with the androids.

But their powers combined were truly horrifying.

Waves of golden energy surrounded Gohan, who stood firm before the androids. He could feel his energy slipping away, and the clouds began to darken. It was as if the sky itself was crying out, for what was inevitable to come. The rain fell harshly as the weather harshened as the sound of thunder was fast approaching.
