It begins with Goku His death changes everything. Six months later, they awaken: A pair of heartless monsters with no regard for life These Androids slaughter millions. Only about ten thousand people survive my mother forms an underground resistance to fight back along with my mentor Gohan, and myself. Together we always find a way… REFUGEE: Please, I’ll do anything you want. ANDROID 17: I love this part. REFUGEE: I have money ANDROID 17: I’m immortal. What good would your money do me? INTERCOM: We’ve received a distress call about the Androids sited near Pepper Town, INTERCOM: Repeat, the Androids have been sited near Pepper Town. We need you to investigate. GOHAN: Are you ready, Trunks? TRUNKS: Yes. ANDROID 17: Alright, you vermin! Who’s next? How about you? Huh? ANDROID 18: This is stupid. Would you just kill them already? ANDROID 17: We spent all that time rounding them up If I kill them all at once, where’s the fun in that? ANDROID 18: Let’s make them run away. That would be more interesting. ANDROID 17: I like that. Good idea, 18. ANDROID 17: Alright you vermin! Go on! Run along! ANDROID 17: That’s far enough GOHAN: Get out of here! Now! ANDROID 17: Was that supposed to hurt? GOHAN: We need to buy more time! You attack 18! GOHAN: Kaaaaa… meeeee… haaaaa… meeeee… GOHAN: Come on! Let’s go! GOHAN: That takes me back. GOHAN: Father, how did you do this for so long? Thirteen years of fighting these demons. How much longer can I endure? TRUNKS: Hey, Mom! What are you working on? BULMA: Oh, just a side project. TRUNKS: How’s it coming along? BULMA: Bit by bit. TRUNKS: I hope it goes well. I have to go train with Gohan, alright? Bye! BULMA: I hope so too. TRUNKS: Hey, Gohan. My father, can you tell me more about him? What was he like? GOHAN: Proud. TRUNKS: Of what? GOHAN: Of himself, haha But I think there was more to it than that. TRUNKS: That’s the same thing mom says, and it still doesn’t make sense. TRUNKS: How can pride like that be a good thing? GOHAN: Well, maybe someday you’ll understand, but for now let’s concentrate okay? NARRATOR: Next time on Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope GOHAN: I know how you feel, but we are making a difference out there. TRUNKS: I need more power! GOHAN: You cannot gain without first suffering the pain of loss. TRUNKS: Don’t you think I’ve lost enough already? My friends, my family, everything! What more is there?! TRUNKS: You know what, this is dumb! Nothing matters in this world but power. Isn’t it obvious by now? Ugh, I’m sick of this! GOHAN: Like father, like son. Maybe I should have been more strict with him, like you were with me, huh, Mr. Piccolo? What’s it going to take to tap into his potential?
