This
Dragonball Z special starts with Gohan racing towards his
home. Oolong tells him to hurry up and get inside the
house. And when he does he sees Goku lying on his bed.
The Narrarator now explains that Goku has died of a heart disease
and for half a year everyone dealt with his death but then
"a pair of devils" appeared and even though everyone
tried there best, their efforts failed. Androids 17 and
18 killed Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamcha and Krillan and the
narrarator says "There are only two people left to stop
them Gohan and Trunks!."
It
is now 13 years later and the androids are attacking a place
called "Pepper Town" and they destroy everyone they
can after giving them a 10 second time limit to escape.
Now Roshi, Oolong and Puar are shown hiding under water in a
ship, and Roshi says he wants to fight but Oolong and Puar
remind him that he has no chance. Now android 18 is
shown trying on clothes and later the androids go around
killing people by running them over in a car.
The
Scene goes to Trunks who is older now and is at least 13 years
old. He and Bulma are riding in a car and are on there
way home when Trunks hears on the radio that the androids have
attacked again. Despite Bulma's advice Trunks flies to
the place where the androids have attacked but the androids
are long gone. This is where Gohan shows up with cool
music in the background and then Trunks asks him why the
androids are doing this. The scene switches to Bulma's
house where Trunks is crying about letting the androids kill
everyone and then he asks Gohan, to train him and Gohan
agrees. Right then Bulma comes in with food and Trunks
tells Gohan not to tell Bulma about what they just discussed.
Now
we're taken outside where Trunks is trying to go Super Saiyan
but just doesn't succeed. Gohan starts fighting with
Trunks for training and knocks him into a whirlpool that he
needs Gohan's help to get out of. Trunks asks Gohan what
kind of a man his father was and Gohan says "He put up a
tough front but he was strong and full of pride.
Back
at Chi-Chi's place Ox-King brings in some food and Chi-Chi
says she wants Gohan home and doesn't care about the robots.
Meanwhile Gohan tells Trunks that anger is the key to go super
Saiyan but Trunks still doesn't make it. Meanwhile at
the only theme park that is left in the world the Androids
skip in line to get on a roller coaster. The worker
tells them to wait in line only to get killed. They try
to call the cities army but a scene of the destroyed army is
shown. Gohan and Trunks show up and start fighting but
get beaten up but manage to hide, and Gohan gets his arm cut
off. They are both in deep pain and Gohan, gives Trunks
the last senzu bean he has.
When
Trunks gets back with the beaten up Gohan, Bulma makes Gohan
better and finds out Trunks is fighting alongside Gohan and
says that the time machine is almost made. When Gohan is
fully healed Trunks tries to go Super Saiyan again and comes
VERY close. After a while they see that the androids are
attacking another town so Gohan says he will kill them this
time but Trunks wants to come to and since Gohan doesn't want
him killed he knocks Trunks out. When Gohan goes to
fight the androids he comes very close and I'm sure if he
fought them one by one instead of both at the same time he
would have won, but instead he died. When Trunks sees
his dead body he finally goes Super Saiyan from anger.
Three
years later the time machine is built but still needs 8 months
to charge. Trunks thinks he can defeat the androids
because he has gotten a lot stronger since the past three
years. Despite Bulma's warnings he goes and fights the
androids, he gets beaten up very badly, he didn't even stand a
chance against these monsters. Trunks learns the hard
way that these androids never run out of energy. Trunks
manages to get away.
When
Trunks heals he realizes that he didn't stand a chance.
Bulma believes that if Goku was alive things would be
different. Well now the time machine is perfect and it
has the label "Hope" on it. Trunks rides on as
the credits role to this excellent special.
