Humanity (Trunks x OC)

Part 15

"Here we are again." 21 muses, looking around at the yet untainted world. "What time is it?" she questions, making Trunks check his watch as it sets itself to the right time automatically.

"Just past 10. Do you think it started yet?" he wonders, referring to the upcoming battle.

They arrived quite a bit away from the place where it will start, not wanting to drop in just like that. Pressing a button on the outside of the time capsule, 21 catches the now tiny capsule. "Let's see and find out." Trunks nods before they both dart off.

"The city is already in ruins." 21 comments as they look down at the island they mentioned to Goku previously.

"We should have arrived earlier." Trunks growls seeing there is no one left here.

"That's out of the question now. There is not enough energy left. We can only make due with when we are now." 21 tells him, making Trunks frown, before looking around, trying to pick up an energy signal.

"I can sense them. This way." Trunks urges before going off in a certain direction. It's odd they don't sense Goku though. Has something happened to him?

They worry on what they will find. Whatever they were expecting, what they came upon after arrival is hardly it.

They receive their first shock even before that. Coming across a crater, they see something down there that baffles them. "What, is that?" Trunks gasps as 21 lowers to take a closer look.

Picking up a pale severed head, she looks at the electronics inside. "Some sort of android. I'm not familiar with the type. How odd." she muses, checking out all the different pieces. "It hardly seems like there is anything human about it, it's all robotics inside. It just reeks of Dr. Gero though. Were there others of this type, before I was made?" she wonders.

"Not that I know of." Trunks answers now standing beside her. "Do you think history has changed already?" he asks worriedly, but 21 has no answer to that. She can only look back at the frozen face in confusion.

Sensing a spike in energy, they are pulled out of their musings. "Come on!" Trunks calls, blasting off in the direction of Vegeta's energy signal.

Arriving to the scene, stopping right by a Super Saiyan Vegeta, their attention is drawn immediately to another odd android. "Trunks and Julliet are back!" Piccolo exclaims in surprise. The newcomers to the party are distracted however by the android that is not supposed to be there.

"Yeah. Even though I've never seen it before, I can tell it's one of Dr. Gero's creations." Trunks muses.

"Say what? What do you mean you haven't seen him before? Isn't he one of the androids you warned us about?!" Vegeta exclaims in confusion.

"No. This one's different." Trunks replies, just as confused.

"How can this one be different?" Piccolo asks him.

"I'm not sure." is his answer.

"No. Nonsense!" Vegeta starts in disbelief. "If that is not the android you warned us about, then who is it?" he demands, but Trunks does not have the answer.

21 speaks up. She was so quiet, they are a bit startled when she does. "I know. I know who that is." she tells them as a deep frown is etched into her face. Her fists are clenched tightly, her jaw set as she gazes down at the familiar looking android. He may look a bit different, but she is sure of it as their eyes lock.

Before she can reveal more, a craft flying over low distracts her. She wonders who would dare to put themselves into danger like this when she spots Bulma behind the stick.
