"This farce should end here. Why let a conflict over a few words spiral out of control? Besides, you don't want killing to lead you down another path in the future, do you?"
As the voice rang out, Android 18, who had been about to attack, paused. The Energy Beam she had gathered in her hand also stalled.
Everyone present turned toward the source of the voice.
A person none of them recognized appeared before their eyes.
Who was he? Future Trunks turned his gaze toward Talot, his eyes filled with confusion.
Just how much had this world changed? Not only had this world's version of him never been born, but now someone he did not recognize at all had appeared.
Who is this guy? Since when did Earth have someone like him? ...Has he been watching the battle from the shadows all along? Not one of us noticed him! Piccolo was horrified, finding Talot's appearance unbelievable.
His instincts told him that this man's identity was anything but simple.
He tried to sense Talot's ki, only to discover that there was not the slightest fluctuation coming from him.
Yet Piccolo was certain—his instincts told him that the man before him was not an Android, and that he was undoubtedly incredibly powerful.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
To appear without a sound... and to conceal his ki so completely... that alone was enough to show how powerful he was.
Who is he? Has he come to help us? Krillin, watching from a distance, was still dumbfounded.
In a situation like this, he could not get a word in edgewise, much less step forward.
He could only hope that this man had what it took to stop the Androids.
