Future tense - zero




Preface




1. Don't be surprised who some things seem familiar to you in my story (it's my first story and I always need a little food for thought ;-))).


2. My story takes place a bit after the Cell games, but starts in the timeline of Future Trunks.




prehistory


Trunks didn't kill a cyborg!




In an old laboratory deep underground. It's dark and you can hardly see anything. There is only a weak bluish light in one room. It comes from an older medi- tank. There is a cyborg locked in this tank. Most of his body is covered in greenish armor (I'll draw a picture of it). His right shoulder is pierced and torn. The medi-liquid is slow to take effect. Next to the tank sits C18 (!!!!). Her head is injured and her shoulder is also pierced, but not nearly as bad as the other cyborg's.While the healing of the two cyborgs progresses excruciatingly slow, C18 thinks about things and saves them in one of the still intact computers.


C18:

After that everything happened very quickly. The energy beam came straight at us and pierced his shoulder. Although he had caught a large part of the energy, the beam was still strong enough to pierce his shoulder, unfortunately. Two thin beams of energy came from his shoulder.One pierced my shoulder, the other must have hit my head, because the next thing I can remember is that we arrived in this underground laboratory. The guy gave me a means of regeneration, got into the medi-tank and asked me to activate it. I save these thoughts in case I should lose my memory again. It's bad enough that I can only remember that terrible fight. I don't know anything else, not even my name>.


Then she looked again at her "savior". He didn't look like a normal cyborg. He wasn't human as far as you could see. Almost his entire body was covered in this strange armor, it seemed to be made of an "organic" material. You couldn't even see his face because he was wearing a helmet that practically covered his entire head. The helmet had a cut that was drawn vertically across the right pane, a little blood flowed from it.Despite the helmet, C18 could see a tail about a meter and a half long that grew out of the back of the head. It was pitch black and had a spiky cut very similar to that of a Saiyan. His breastplate had only a 3cm wide gap through which you could see some skin. It didn't look human, it was white. You couldn't describe it any other way. A metal boomerang was attached to the back. His legs were clearly mechanical. The creator of this creature had probably made no effort to make the legs look "real", they would have been too big for that. There was nothing special on the left arm except that it was also well armored. The right arm was more interesting. At first it looked the same as the one on the left. But the energy shot must have hit an important nerve, because suddenly the hand, which by the way only had three fingers, retracted. After that, the arm looked like a cannon. , thought C18.


Her regeneration was now complete. 18 had no more external wounds, but her old memories were probably lost.


She looked around the lab a little more, but didn't find anything interesting at first. But then she found a cyborg capsule. She looked very similar to the capsule in which she was locked and "built". It was a little longer and deeper. "That must be this guy's capsule?" Remarked C18, astonished. "Hmmmmm, strange there is no number on it, just a letter: Z. someone should understand that ??".


She stopped worrying about it and looked at the display on the Medi-Tank. The regeneration on the other cyborg would take another three years (!). , thought C18 while looking at the wound.
