Bulma serves dinner to Gohan and Trunks, remarking on just how much like his father Son Gohan has become. Gohan says that he made his own ''gi'' so that he could feel powerful like his father, but thus far it doesn't seem to be helping. Bulma says that she has heard stories about Gohan, facing off against the Artificial Humans by himself. She doesn't want Trunks to look up to those stories and get hurt or killed. She asks Gohan to help Trunks listen to reason and not try to fight against 17 and 18. Despite her admonitions, Gohan trains Trunks, pushing him to reach Super Saiyan. Gohan is impressed with his ''ki'', but Trunks cannot transform. They spar on a beach and Gohan knocks Trunks into a whirlpool. When Trunks calls out for help, Gohan just asks if that is all he has to give. Trunks eventually makes it out of the water by himself and Gohan hands him a towel. As they rest for a moment, Trunks asks Gohan to tell him about Vegeta. He has no memories of his father and Bulma does not like to talk about him. Gohan just responds that he was a proud man, strong but difficult to please. | |||
Some time later, the Ox Demon King visits Chi-Chi, much older but still alive. He tells her that half of the world's population has been killed off since the Artificial Humans attacked, but he's heard stories about Gohan and Trunks fighting against them. Chi-Chi is sad that Gohan never became a scholar. As she looks at a picture taken when Gohan was just a baby, she implores Gohan to return home soon. Meanwhile, Trunks and Gohan are still training at the beach, trying to help Trunks reach Super Saiyan. Gohan tells him that he needs to be angrier to unlock his power, but Trunks is unable to do it. Even so, Gohan senses that Trunks is powerful-- perhaps even stronger than he is-- and hopes he will one day be able to defeat the Artificial Humans. | |||
Artificial Humans 17 and 18 arrive at an amusement park. One of the workers comment that they have a military guard and that this is the last amusement park left in the world. 17 and 18 enjoy the rides, including a roller coaster and swings, as the patrons flee the scene. One worker calls in the military, but it is too late: the Artificial Humans have killed their military regiment already. Gohan and Trunks arrive and confront the Artificial Humans. 17 comments that it is them again, implying that Gohan and Trunks have faced off against the pair before. 17 faces off against Gohan while 18 enjoys a ride on a carousel. Gohan turns into a Super Saiyan and is able to land some blows on 17, but just as it looks like Gohan has him on the ropes, 18 appears and knocks Gohan back. 17 scolds his sister for interfering, but 18 only replies that Gohan had almost killed him. Besides, she wants to hurry up and get back to playing in the amusement park. With two against one, they have no problems getting past Gohan's defenses. To even back up the fight, Trunks dives in and fights 18, eventually fighting on top of a ferris wheel. Trunks is vastly outclassed by 18 and she has no problems dodging all of his attacks. She toys with him until Trunks manages to land a single kick. 18 gets angry and knocks him off of the ferris wheel. Before he can even hit the ground, 18 grabs him again. As she prepares to kill Trunks with a single large ''ki'' blast, Gohan rushes in to stop her. Gohan takes the brunt of the blast and flees the scene with an unconscious Trunks, eventually hiding behind some rubble. 18 tries to locate the pair, but Gohan remains hidden. Eventually, she launches a ''ki'' blast to level the whole area, destroying what remained of her amusement park. Since they can no longer play there, the pair fly away, figuring that Gohan and Trunks may be dead, but even if they are not they will see them again. No need to search. | |||

Synopsis
Everyone has gathered at Son Goku's house, mourning the condition of his heart disease. By time his son, Son Gohan, arrives, Goku has passed away. Shortly thereafter, a pair of devilish Artifical Humans appear and begin a rampage of death and destruction. The Z Warriors step in, but are mercilessly killed, leaving Son Gohan as the sole survivor and plunging the Earth into the depths of despair. Thirteen years have passed and Trunks is now a teenager. He has been diligently training under his mentor, Gohan, in hopes of defeating the evil Artificial Humans. Bulma has also been building a time machine with the purpose of rewriting history. Gohan is eventually killed while confronting the Artificial Humans, and upon finding his body, Trunks' rage unleashes his Super Saiyan power. Even with his newfound powers he is still no match for the Artificial Humans, and is badly beaten. Having recovered, Trunks agrees to travel back to the past with the hope that with Goku's help he can defeat the Artificial Humans once and for all. This is the history of the lonesome warrior, Trunks.
Summary
Prologue
In an alternate timeline, Son Gohan races back to his family home. All of Son Goku's friends are already gathered there: Vegeta, Piccolo, Chaotzu, Tenshinhan, Kuririn, Son Goku, Yamcha, Yajirobe, Bulma, Baby Trunks, Oolong, and Pu'er. Chi-Chi, her father, and Turtle Hermit wait by Goku's bed. Everyone is relieved that Gohan made it. Gohan rushes into his father's room, but it is too late. Son Goku is dead.
Six months later, Artificial Humans 17 and 18 emerge and attack a city on a southern island. Goku's friends scramble to fight off the attack, but they are quickly killed: first Piccolo, then Super Saiyan Vegeta, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Kuririn. The world is plunged into chaos.
Part A
Thirteen years later, a Peppertown appears surprisingly normal with people going about their lives. A little girl runs by with a balloon. Suddenly, an explosion rocks the area and 17 and 18 attack. They seem bored and give the townspeople ten seconds to flee. Once ten seconds are over, the city is leveled. A reporter from CQV observes the attack, reminding his listeners that the Artificial Humans have already destroyed Earth's military. There is nothing to protect the world from their attacks. In a submarine near Kame House, the Turtle Hermit, Oolong, Pu'er, and Turtle hide from the Artificial Humans while listening to the report of the attack on the radio. They are concerned that the Artificial Humans could approach and they must remain hidden until it is safe. The Turtle Hermit is furious and wants to emerge to attack the Artificial Humans himself, but Pu'er and the others talk him out of it; he would be killed, just as the other heroes were. But, he wonders, if they cannot be destroyed is there any hope for the future? Back in Peppertown, 18 enjoys trying on some clothes while a salesman looks on in terror. She walks out with several new outfits as the man begs for his life. As soon as she leaves the building, 17 destroys it. 18 is upset, telling her brother that he could at least have spared the clothes. In another part of town, reporters from OBC comment on the destruction before being buzzed by 17 driving an aircar, screaming for everyone to run away.
Some distance away, Bulma and a 14-year old Trunks drive in their own aircar. Bulma knows that 17 and 18 killed their creator, Doctor Gero. She wonders aloud if anything can be done about them. Just then, Trunks asks her to stop the car and return home without him. She stops the car but scolds him when she realizes what he is thinking to do. He flies off towards Peppertown. 17 is still trying to run people down with his car as 18 looks on. She scolds him for playing around. He jumps out of the car, sending it careening into a building. It starts a fire which envelopes a gas station. Soon the city is ablaze as the Artificial Humans walk away. Trunks arrives to find that 17 and 18 are already gone. He cries as he surveys the rubble, finding bodies and a child's rabbit toy. Just then, Gohan arrives, wearing a gi similar to his father's except with a "han" symbol on the back. Trunks asks him why the Artificial Humans are doing this, but he just stands silently.
Later at Capsule Corp Headquarters, Trunks continues crying to Gohan and asks him to train him even harder so that he can defeat the Artificial Humans. Gohan agrees, telling the boy that he reminds him of himself when he was younger. Bulma arrives home with groceries, relieved that Trunks is okay and they he did not go to Peppertown. She offers dinner but asks that Gohan and Trunks not do anything dangerous.
Part B
Bulma serves dinner to Gohan and Trunks, remarking on just how much like his father Son Gohan has become. Gohan says that he made his own gi so that he could feel powerful like his father, but thus far it doesn't seem to be helping. Bulma says that she has heard stories about Gohan, facing off against the Artificial Humans by himself. She doesn't want Trunks to look up to those stories and get hurt or killed. She asks Gohan to help Trunks listen to reason and not try to fight against 17 and 18. Despite her admonitions, Gohan trains Trunks, pushing him to reach Super Saiyan. Gohan is impressed with his ki, but Trunks cannot transform. They spar on a beach and Gohan knocks Trunks into a whirlpool. When Trunks calls out for help, Gohan just asks if that is all he has to give. Trunks eventually makes it out of the water by himself and Gohan hands him a towel. As they rest for a moment, Trunks asks Gohan to tell him about Vegeta. He has no memories of his father and Bulma does not like to talk about him. Gohan just responds that he was a proud man, strong but difficult to please.
Some time later, the Ox Demon King visits Chi-Chi, much older but still alive. He tells her that half of the world's population has been killed off since the Artificial Humans attacked, but he's heard stories about Gohan and Trunks fighting against them. Chi-Chi is sad that Gohan never became a scholar. As she looks at a picture taken when Gohan was just a baby, she implores Gohan to return home soon.

Summary
In an alternate timeline, Son Goku dies of a heart disease while his friends and family (including a newborn baby Trunks) look on helplessly. Six months later, a pair of artificial humans created by the Red Ribbon Army scientist Doctor Gero begin wrecking havoc on the world. These two, No. 17 and No. 18, have unmatched power and easily kill Vegeta, Piccolo, and the other Z Warriors, leaving only Son Gohan.
Thirteen years later, the artificial humans are still sadistically killing humans and destroying cities. Trunks, now a young boy, sets off to fight them and meets Gohan, who has been the only one opposing the artificial humans all these years. Gohan begins training Trunks, and though he makes great progress, he still can't manage to become a Super Saiyan. When the artificial humans attack an amusement park, Gohan rushes off to fight them, and Trunks insists on tagging along. In the ensuing battle, Gohan loses an arm and Trunks is severely wounded. Gohan chooses to use the only senzu remaining to heal Trunks, leaving himself permanently without an arm. Time passes and the two continue to train. One day the artificial humans attack another city. Trunks wants to come with Gohan again and says that he's gotten much stronger, but Gohan knocks him unconscious and goes off to confront the artificial humans on his own. Gohan manages to put up a good fight, but the pair eventually overwhelm him. When Trunks wakes up, he searches for Gohan in the ruined city and finds him lying dead in the street. Overcome by rage and sorrow, he finally transforms into a Super Saiyan.
Three years later, Trunks is now a young man, and has obtained his iconic sword. His mother Bulma has at last completed work on a time machine that Trunks can use to go into the past, where he can study the artificial humans and prevent Goku's death. This way they can hopefully create an alternate timeline where things don't turn out so bad, and maybe discover a way of defeating the artificial humans in their own timeline. Trunks personally doesn't think they need the time machine; he's confident that he can now defeat the artificial humans on his own. At that moment, news comes that the artificial humans are on another rampage, and Trunks rushes off to defeat them once and for all. But he fares little better than Gohan did, and barely manages to escape alive. As he recovers in the hospital, he apologizes to Bulma and agrees to go to the past. She instructs him on how to give Goku medicine for his heart disease. If only he hadn't died, Bulma thinks, the world wouldn't have ended up like this.
Having fully recovered, Trunks sets off for the past, little realizing the adventures that await him there...
