Editing Future Trunks (section)

====Androids Saga====
In Trunks' altered timeline, events unfolded differently after his initial visit to the past. Goku, instead of succumbing to the heart virus, contracted it during the battle with Android 19. Vegeta intervened, showcasing his newfound Super Saiyan power by effortlessly destroying Android 19 with his Big Bang Attack. This marked a significant divergence from Trunks' original timeline.

Approximately 18 months later, a now 19-year-old Trunks returned to the past and discovered Android 19's head on the Southern Continent, along with the unexpected presence of Android 20, who was revealed to be Dr. Gero himself. Trunks realized that this timeline was veering considerably from his own. Dr. Gero activated the true androids of Trunks' future—Androids 17 and 18—who promptly rebelled against their creator and released Android 16, previously unknown to Trunks.

The androids in this timeline proved to be much stronger than those Trunks had faced in his own future. Android 18, in particular, demonstrated formidable strength by easily overpowering both Super Saiyan Vegeta and Super Saiyan Trunks together. Vegeta engaged Android 18 in battle but was ultimately defeated. Trunks rushed to his father's aid, attempting to attack Android 18 with his sword, only to be shocked when she effortlessly blocked the blow, causing his sword to crack. Moments later, Android 17 swiftly incapacitated Trunks. Despite being temporarily defeated, Trunks recovered and continued to fight, but was ultimately overwhelmed and reverted to his base form.

After the battle, Trunks and Krillin escorted Goku to safety at Kame House. During their journey, Trunks proposed a plan to return further back in time using his Time Machine to destroy the androids before they were activated. Yamcha and Krillin supported the idea, but Krillin raised concerns about whether Trunks could return to his own future after traveling farther back. Trunks explained that each trip to the past creates a new future timeline, highlighting the complexities of time travel.

Reflecting on his initial trip to their timeline, Trunks admitted that he had hoped to find a weakness in the androids or bring Goku back to his future. Despite the uncertainties, Chi-Chi reassured Trunks that his intervention had saved Goku's life in their timeline, which everyone agreed was a positive outcome given the circumstances.
