Future Timeline.
"W-what?"
"The Time Machine is out of energy?"
"It'll take a whole year to recharge it?"
Son Gohan asked Trunks, looking puzzled.
He hadn't expected it to take a whole year to recharge the Time Machine.
"I'm sorry, Master Gohan."
"The Androids have been wreaking havoc everywhere, and energy is scarce."
"We have no choice. You'll have to stay here for a while."
Trunks said apologetically.
When he'd invited Son Gohan over, it hadn't occurred to him that this might happen.
"It's okay. Let's just think of it as a vacation."
Son Gohan patted Trunks on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
There was nothing they could do to change things, so they would just have to accept it.
"I'll take you to see my mom. She'll definitely be thrilled to see you."
Trunks said excitedly.
He wanted to hurry back to West City and share the good news.
The two of them flew toward West City.
West City.
It had long since become a ruin.
"People of West City, there's no need to keep hiding anymore."
"I've defeated the Androids."
"Now you can finally start living your lives in peace."
Trunks shouted from above West City.
He wanted to make sure the news reached everyone.
"Is that... Lord Trunks's voice?"
"This is wonderful! The Androids are finally gone."
"We won't have to spend our days hiding anymore."
"Thank you, Lord Trunks."
"..."
After Trunks finished speaking, he saw people slowly emerging below.
There were men and women among them. Their clothes were tattered, but their faces were filled with smiles and hope for the future.
Everyone talked excitedly.
They wept with joy.
For years, they had lived in hiding.
Like rats in the street.
Afraid the Androids would find them.
"This place has been reduced to ruins.
