Synopsis
Endlessly raising his ki, Trunks transforms into a form with even more enlarged muscles. His ki far surpasses Vegeta's, and even Cell's. Trunks came from a miserable future overrun by the artificial humans. In order to change this future, he must defeat Cell. After reaching his full power, Trunks fights while using power greater than Cell's. But for some reason, Cell announces Trunks' defeat.
Summary
Part A
Trunks powers up to a new highly-muscular form while Cell waits patiently to see his new strength. Artificial Human No. 16, still laying injured on the ground, is very impressed by Trunks's power. Even Kuririn, flying away with a prone Vegeta, can see the effects of Trunks's power surging around him. As far away as Kame House, the Turtle Hermit and his guests feel tremors from Trunks's rapidly growing ki. Chi-Chi thinks it is an earthquake! On God's Temple, Tenshinhan is impressed by how powerful Trunks has become: he's now stronger than Vegeta. Surely, he will be able to defeat Cell? As Trunks finishes powering up, he tells Cell that he will not allow is own miserable future to be recreated.
Trunks narrates to Cell a story from his past, this world's future: No. 17 and No. 18 attack a city. The population tries to fight them off with guns, but it is no use and the city is destroyed. The Artificial Humans complain that they are bored and wish for someone more challenging to face them. Trunks then describes how the Artificial Humans defeated Son Goku's friends, with No. 17 taking out Vegeta and Kuririn, while No. 18 did the same for Piccolo, Yamcha, and Yajoribe. Eventually, there were only two fighters left: Trunks and Son Gohan. Cutting back to his story, Gohan and Trunks appear in the city that the Artificial Humans demolished. Gohan turns into a Super Saiyan and goes in for the attack, leaving Trunks behind. Gohan is no match for the combined might of the Artificial Humans and Trunks is forced to rush in wielding a sword. He manages to trim a few of No. 18's hairs, but that just makes her angrier. Two-on-two, the fight is less one-sided but the Artificial Humans still have the advantage. Gohan launches a masenko which buries the Artificial Humans underneath a pile of rubble. In the confusion, Gohan and Trunks slip away to fight another day. Nos. 17 and 18 launch ki attack after ki attack at the city to level every building. While Trunks and Gohan hide from the Artificial Humans, Gohan tells Trunks of Son Goku's death and how they would not be in this situation if he were still alive. Gohan wants to become as strong as his father once was. Smiling, Gohan and Trunks leave their hiding place and resume their attack. Trunks narrates that, in time, even Son Gohan was killed, leaving him as the future's final remaining warrior.
With his attention back on the present, Trunks tells Cell that is the reason why he must be defeated.
