Preview: the android saga

Freeza and his father King Cold land on planet Earth and begin to send their troops to take over Earth. As soon as they are sent out, slashes of a sword are seen every where and body pieces of the soldiers are falling on the floor. Out of the dust, a young man appears. Freeza asks the young man  "what do you want Earthling?" The young man tells Freezer that he is going to destroy him. This is how season four begins.

The mysterious warrior

Who is this mysterious boy? It is none other than Trunks, the warrior from the future. Trunks is the son of Vegita and Bulma (Goku flips out upon hearing this), which explains why he is able to transform into a Super Saiyan. He traveled in a time machine built by Bulma in an effort to alter the horror of his reality. His main goal is to find Son Goku and hopes that he can help find a solution to the problem. When he finds Goku he explains what happened in the future. Trunks realized that he can never change his own timeline. He hopes however, that by watching Goku fight in this timeline, he can learn something from him or maybe bring Goku to his future to help beat the androids. 

Training for the future

Trunks warns Goku that in 3 years, two androids will appear south east of the Southern capital. He gives Goku the cure for the heart disease that will affect him, so that he may survive and fight the androids. After Trunks leaves, the others approached Goku, wondering what the boy had to say. But because of Goku's fickle nature he forgets the details Trunks tells him. Fortunately because Piccolo's auditory system is more sensitive than humans and Saiyans, he overheard everything Trunks said. So after Piccolo tells everyone of the future (skillfully keeping Trunks identity hidden from Bulma and Vegita), they all agree to train for 3 years and meet at the island where the androids will appear. Piccolo trains with Goku and Gohan, Krillin trains with Mutenroshi (the turtle master, although he was not much help), Vegita trains by himself in Capsule 3 where he uses the gravity machine (and multiplies the gravity by 450), Yamucha trains on his own, and Tein and Chaosu train in the mountains. 

Dr. Gero's creations

The androids are the creation of Dr.Gero. He is a doctor who was part of the infamous Red Ribbon organization and for years plotted to one day defeat Goku. In the past, Goku defeated many branches of the Red Ribbon army. Dr. Gero's sole purpose for creating the androids is to beat Goku. In Trunks timeline, the two androids activated by Dr. Gero, turned on their creator and killed him. There was a sense that no one could control the androids. Three years from the first appearance of Trunks, the two androids attacked. At first they try to defeat Son Goku and his friends. But found that they had misjudged the skills of the Z team. After the failed attempt, android 20 heads back to Dr.Gero's lab to regroup. Trunks returns to check up on things in this timeline. Upon seeing the debris of android 19 Trunks thinks to himself "what's going on? This is not one of the androids I fought!" The first two androids that showed up are not from Trunks future. This scenario confuses Trunks as something strange is going on. Back at the lab, android 20 is reluctant to start the backup androids because they are hard to control. Having no other option he activates android 17 and 18. It turns out that these are the androids Trunks talked about and they are more powerful than the two in the future. They act differently however (less destructive...a little).

Sounds good? There is so much more that happens in this series. What lies ahead for the Z team? Why are things so different from Trunks timeline? All these questions and more can be found by
