Struck by Lightning

No, the things happening in this world are completely different from the history my mother told me.

Not only did Frieza not arrive on Earth as scheduled, but King Cold was also defeated by Mr. Goku a year earlier. History did not unfold as he knew it.

Sweat beaded on Trunks' forehead as a thought popped into his head: perhaps Android will never appear in this world.

He dismissed the idea as soon as it popped into his head. Even if there was only a one percent chance, he couldn't be optimistic that Android wouldn't appear. Even if the main events in this world were different from those in his, Trunks had to go and warn people as long as there was even the slightest possibility. That was the purpose of his Time Machine journey.

"My mother spent a lot of effort developing the Time Machine, all to change history!"

Trunks rallied, leaping into the air with a whoosh, leaving a trail of white light as he flew towards the West City.

With a loud pop, the sonic boom shattered the tranquility of the small town. Passersby on the street watched Trunks' flight, leaving a trail of light in his wake, their eyes filled with envy and admiration. On Earth, only powerful martial artists could fly so swiftly!

"That young man is actually a martial artist... and he's only so young."

"The Flight Technique!"

"I wish I could be like him."

Numerous exclamations of admiration rippled through the crowd, with passersby whispering amongst themselves. But they quickly quieted down and went about their business.

There are already many powerful martial artists on Earth. They are respected and admired wherever they go. This is a shared value built up by martial artists stepping forward time and time again to save the world.

In the West City, hemispherical buildings are scattered throughout the city.

Capsule Corporation Headquarters

Trunks quickly flew over the city cluster and landed in a small alleyway away from the dense crowds. The prosperous West City the city in his memory. In the future, West City would be a ruin, with only a few survivors struggling to survive in underground bunkers.

But here, skyscrapers stand tall, and overpasses crisscross the sky, making it a veritable megacity.

"Once I see my mother, I'll know what's really going on in this world!" With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Trunks pressed the doorbell of his home in West City.

Ring ring ring!

Sizzle!

The door opened, and a beautiful blonde woman walked out. She saw Trunks and looked him up and down.

"Miss Launch?" Trunks' eyes widened, surprised to see her in the West City.

"Who are you looking for, kid?"

Blonde Launch frowned slightly, but she wasn't surprised that the other person knew her name. After all, she had participated in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament and was the champion of that tournament. There were very few people on Earth who didn't know her.

"Oh, I'm looking for Miss Bulma. Is she home?" Trunks asked.

Blonde Launch looked at him. "Bulma, she's not here."

"When will Miss Bulma be back?" Trunks then asked.

"No need to wait. She's not on Earth right now and won't be back anytime soon," said the Blonde Launch, waving her hand dismissively.

"What, not on Earth?"

Trunks was stunned. How could Bulma not be on Earth at this time?!

"Is Mr. Vegeta home?"

"You've come to the wrong place. This is Bulma's house. You're not looking for Vegeta here." The Blonde Launch waved her hand impatiently at the boy in front of her. Is this kid crazy? Why is he looking for Vegeta at Bulma's house?

Trunks was completely dumbfounded.

That's not right. His father, Vegeta, moved into his mother's house after returning from Planet Namek, but this Launch doesn't seem to have. Could it be that neither of their parents in this world have returned from Planet Namek? Or has something happened to them?

Trunks' heart skipped a beat, and he felt increasingly uneasy.

"Sister Launch, don't be so rude to people!"

At that moment, a black-haired boy came out of the room. Luo Fei saw Trunks with light purple hair at the door, glanced at the Capsule Corporation logo on his sleeve, and said kindly, "You're an employee of Capsule Corporation, right? Come in and have a seat."

Trunks was taken aback, nodded, and then realized that he could sense a powerful aura emanating from the other person.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Luo Fei. What do you need my aunt for?" Luo Fei noticed Trunks' expression and wondered when such a powerful expert had appeared on Earth.

"You just called Miss Bulma... Auntie?!"

Trunks looked puzzled.

At this moment, the Blonde Launch curled her lip and said in a clear voice, "How can you be a company employee if you don't even know him? The man in front of you is the son of Tights, the young lady of the Capsule Corporation, and one of the company's heirs."

Oh, so it's Aunt Tights's son... Eh, Tights?!

Trunks suddenly realized that his mother did indeed have an older sister Tights, but she tragically died in a disaster shortly after the creation of the Android.

This boy is Tights's son.

Trunks carefully observed Luo Fei, and when he noticed the tail behind Luo Fei, his expression suddenly changed. This person was also Saiyan, but there should only be Goku and his father Vegeta among the pure-blooded Saiyan on Earth. Could this boy's father be one of them?

I don't know who had the child with Aunt Tights.

Naturally, Trunks automatically imagined Luo Fei's background. No, neither of them fits! He then gave a wry smile. The world has changed; it wouldn't be surprising if another pure-blooded Saiyan appeared on Earth.

"Brother, your background is quite extraordinary!" Luo Fei said with a faint smile, looking at Trunks, whose expression was constantly changing.

"Hmm!" Trunks nodded, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Luo Fei turned to the Blonde Launch and said, "Sister Launch, please prepare some tea to entertain us."

"Tch, stop ordering me around. You're not as cute as you were when you were little." Blonde Launch rolled her eyes, saying this, but still obediently went to prepare tea.

Watching the Blonde Launch busy in the kitchen, Trunks sat down opposite Luo Fei. "My name is Trunks... I come from an unexpected place."

"Oh, so you're Trunks. So you're from another world?"

"You know me?" Now it was Trunks' turn to be surprised.

"Hmm, I heard from my father... Oh, my father's name is Roland. He went to other worlds a long time ago. You came here this time using Time Machine, right? Tsk tsk, Auntie is really a genius. She can even invent West City like Time Machine. You're here to tell us about Android, right?"

"They even know about Android?!"

"I've heard my father mention it before." Luo Fei smiled as he looked at Trunks' surprised expression.

"This... there are actually people in this world who know about the future..." Trunks' eyes widened, and he was somewhat incoherent.

"Yes, I come from the future, but the situation here is different from what I know. Can you tell me about what has happened on Earth in recent years, starting from when Raditz came to Earth?"

"Sure."

Luo Fei nodded and then recounted the major events that had occurred on Earth from beginning to end, especially Vegeta's invasion, the appearance of the Ginyu Force, and later King Cold's army entering Earth and Goku transforming into Super Saiyan to fight back. He explained everything in detail.

After listening to Luo Fei's account, Trunks frowned.

On Earth, Goku transformed into Super Saiyan, and later went to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Ball. Frieza and his father died at Goku's hands. Although the whole process deviated from "history" to some extent, the overall ending was similar.

In that sense, the general structure of the world is quite similar to that of his place.

But after hearing Luo Fei's description, Trunks felt something was missing. Raditz and Nappa hadn't died; they'd been sent to the Planet Sadala. What kind of place was Planet Sadala?

Another unclear area!

Trunks rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.

Suddenly, Trunks realized he had overlooked something. Where was his father, Vegeta? Where had Vegeta gone since returning from Planet Namek?

"Vegeta seems to be secretly training somewhere on Earth. Sometimes I can sense his presence." Luo Fei took the tea and snacks from the Blonde Launch and took a sip.

"Who is this Bulla you mentioned before?"

Luo Fei laughed, "She's my lovely cousin, Uncle Goku and Auntie's daughter."

"What?!"

Trunks was struck dumb upon hearing this, feeling completely disoriented and unable to accept it. Goku had actually married his mother! Wouldn't that mean he would cease to exist in this world in the future?

He remained silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a soft sigh.
