Saiyan's Zero

Pilot

Future destroyed Pepper Town

A city lies in ruins and smoke as buildings were destroyed as only rubble remained of the city as the people had either evacuated or had been killed. Withing the now destroyed city stood three individuals who had all crossed paths before and were ready to clash once again.

"Gohan. You're still alive?"

"We'll fix that soon enough. Kill him. Full power."

"I will never die. Even if my body breaks... another will rise in my place to dismantle you heartless androids!"

With those final words said the final battle between Future Gohan and Androids 17 and 18 began, unfortunately, Gohan would not walk out the victor as despite his words he met his end at the hands of 17 and 18 but this is not where Gohan's story ends. Gohan's story is about to enter a new chapter of his life.

Unknown planet somewhere in space

Gohan stirred around as his mind was still back on the field of battle as his fight with 17 and 18 still fresh in his mind until his eyes finally opened greeting his eyes to a different sight than his usual apocalyptic future.

"Huh? Where am I?"

Gohan sat up as he felt the soft ground beneath him however he stopped and looked at his arm in shock as his arm which had been blown off during his and trunks' first encounter with the androids was somehow restored fully.

Gohan looked at his restored right arm and moved it in circles a few times making sure he wasn't dreaming as he then pinched himself only to wince confirming his theory.

"So this isn't a dream nor am I in the afterlife. The question is where am I?"

Gohan looked up at the sky as he closed his eyes taking a breath of the fresh air of the planet he was on as the sound of birds chirping was a nice refresher for him compared to seeing constant stacks of smokes or hearing the sound of terrified people running for their lives from sentient mechanical death machines. Gohan had begun to walk for a few miles until he heard the sound of the town nearby however he stopped and clutched his chest tightly as he then took off his gi as he noticed his scarred and damaged body from his last battle from the androids.

'Gah! I'm more hurt than I thought after I lost to 17 and 18 and the worst part is I have no clue how to get back. Trunks...'

Gohan shook his head as he tightened his fists and focused his black eyes.

"Trunks I taught you everything I know and now I'm leaving the future in your hands. As for me, going to see what this new world as to offer for me and get my injuries looked at."

-line break-

As the months flew by Gohan had gotten used to living within the small settlement as he had gotten his wounds treated by the doctor in the city nearby however due to Gohan's lack of money he did simple jobs to help out the people whenever he could while Gohan continued to learn more and more about the new world he was in. One surprise for the hybrid Saiyan was that there were androids in this world which caused Gohan to shake in fear confusing some people before he explained that androids killed billions of people and caused terror where he came from only to be reassured that that was not the case here in the sakura cosmos which was the galaxy he was in. Gohan was now relaxing on a hillside under an apple tree doing some push-ups and practicing some punches and kicks as Gohan kept himself in shape refusing to let the fact that there was no enemy to keep him sharp as an excuse to not keep up on his training.

"Alright, think that's enough for one day. Think I'll go on into town and see if anyone needs any help today."

Gohan got up as his white ki aura flared to life before he took off and began flying towards the town however something a little ways off caught his attention as he landed a few feet away and masked his ki as he listened in on the conversation between a pilot and five armored soldiers.
