Chapter One: Horrific Future

Disclaimer: I do not own neither Dragon ball Z or Naruto

Sitting on top of a half destroyed building, looking ready to collapse if too much pressure was applied, was a young man. Cold icy blue eyes looked out upon a city. Once beaming with life, now laid nothing by rubble, black smoke rising and covering the blue sky. He sat there, uncaring if the cold rain wetted his hair and clothes. He just sat there.

His spiky black hair fell in the rain, two bangs falling over his eyes. His face was strong, sharp chiseled, his looks one that any woman - not that there were many left alive anymore - would find handsome...even that dreaded android Eighteen that Naruto detested to his very soul. He stood fairly tall at 6' and was wearing a orange and black T-shirt with no sleeves, and black baggy pants with the end being tucked into black combat boots. But the most notable aspects would be the long brown monkey tail wrapped around his waist, and the six scars lining his face, three on each cheek, resembling whiskers. The scars were given to him, by the very same android that killed many of his friends and family. Unconsciously, he reached up and traced a line, gritting his teeth in anger as he recalled the bloodied fingers that cut his skin, the blood belonging to his father. The smile that woman had as she did so made his blood boil in rage. Taking a calming breath, he brushed away the terrible thoughts, and instead focused on the smiling faces about all those he cared about... and how they were taken away from him.

This man...was Naruto Briefs, the saiyan (half saiyan) son Bulma Briefs, and the deceased Prince of All Saiyans, Vegeta. Not that there were many lefts. In one hand he could count the last surviving... Three. Him, his younger brother Trunks, and his best friend Gohan.

Thinking on the last one, Naruto closed his eyes, hiding his grief, as he thought back on his last battle. Recalling facing the Androids again to try and destroy them once and for all...and recalling on how he lost his friend and surrogate brother.

Flash Back

Traveling through a lone empty countryside was lone van, moving at fast speed as it tried to get to its destination as fast, and as carefully as it could. Inside were three passengers, the remaining members of the Brief family.

Naruto was riding in the back seat with his brother riding shotgun. Trunks was an energetic thirteen year old but was a very bright young man. Trunks had pale light violet hair, blue eyes like Naruto, wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants listening to the radio. Bulma Briefs was a beautiful woman even for her age. her long blue hair in a ponytail, wearing a pink jacket and pants as she tried to rush the boys home. She was taking a risk, going to another town for parts she needed, as they could be spotted by the androids at any point. However, it was the only way. She couldn't ask her son Naruto to fly there to get them as wouldn't know what to look for, and 2. Using his ki would alert the androids She wouldn't risk losing her baby to those monster.

Naruto was enjoying the view, taking a moment to appreciate the rare relaxation he had before he had to return to living a cautious life he was raised into since the androids appeared. It was funny, they were traveling a road with green planes. It was a nice change from the daily view of ruin buildings of his home city., Unfortunately, the peace came to an end, as his ears picked up the shout from the radio that the androids were attacking a nearby city. Trunks seemed to be paying attention as well, as he looked at the radio with an angry look on his face. Naruto closed his eyes as he tried to bare with it. As much he he wanted to do something to save those people he couldn't as he knew he was no match for the machines. Unfortunately Trunks didn't have the same mind as he suddenly jumped out of the van, and blasted out of the car towards the city, ignoring the calls of his mother for him to come back.

"Trunks!" Bulma yelled out for her son as she stopped the car, but he just ignored her. Cursing his young brother's rash action Naruto got out and was about to take off until Bulma grabbed him by his arm "Naruto...Please look after him, you two are all I have left" Naruto gave a nod to his mother as he blasted off, to catch after him.

With the Androids

People were running, screaming in fear as the twin Androids, Seventeen and Eighteen, slowly killed them off. Seventeen was in a car, running people down while his sister watched from the sidelines, having grown bored of killing and decide to leave the fun to her brother. Seventeen was laughing as he did it. "Come back here you speedy little devils" Seventeen laughed out as he tried to run down more people with sick glee.

Eighteen sighed in boredom, holding her head with her hands. She half wondered when she was going to see that guy Naruto again. He was perhaps the only interesting human in this planet. "How juvenile. Honestly Seventeen you're like a child, all you want to do is play." She stated to her brother. Seventeen jumped out of the car, letting it crash into a gas station, causing a large explosion and making it all light up in flames.

"Well aren't you fun today" Seventeen said sarcastically as he walked towards his sister.

"Oh shut up and let's go." Eighteen said as they floated up and left the destroyed city, in search of either another one with more fun, or something to interest them.

Minutes later with Naruto and Trunks

When they reached the destroyed city, they knew they were too late. They could only look in sadness at the ruin city, seeing the large amounts of bodies on the streets. Men, women, and children. All gone. "Damn it." Naruto said quietly, gripping his fists in anger as he mourned for the dead. He should have been here sooner. He could have saved them, or even one!

"Naruto look at this place." Trunks muttered in horror as he looked around. So much death, all done in just minutes by two people. No, not people. Monsters.

"I know Trunks." Naruto said as he looked down. At his feet, laid a stuffed bear. No doubt once belong to a child. Taking a deep breath, he put his hand on his brother's shoulder to try and calm down the rising burning anger in him. "Let's see if we can find any survivors." It was a false hope, but he prayed someone managed to survive this massacre. Trunks nodded and the two brothers began their search.

They both looked under the rubble and wrecked buildings, hoping someone, anyone, survived the attack. Naruto felt his brother's power slowly rising with each passing second of no results, Naruto turned and saw him holding a child's toy, looking at it with eyes full of sadness and anger.

Naruto clenched his fists as his hate for the androids increased every second he stood in the city. Suddenly, he sensed a power level appear behind him. Turning around, he saw his best friend Gohan. Long gone was a young boy, a fresh trainee into his Saiyan heritage; he was now a tall, warbound man, with short dark hair, chiseled chin, and hard eyes that had seen more deaths and battles than anyone in the current world.

The boys went over to Gohan as he gave a sad smile "Come on, let's get you guys out of here." He said. The two brothers nodded, and sending one last glance at the city, the three half saiyans rose up into the air, before flying off back to their home.

The three had gotten back to the Brief House, where it remained functioning in the ruin city, keeping power running for Bulma's equipment. Gohan was by the windows watching the sunset, Naruto was sitting at the table, trying not to think about today and let his anger rise; and Trunks was sitting on the couch, with tears in his eyes, the events of today being too much for him. "Is this the way life is suppose to be? So full of pain." He said, getting the other two's attention. "I rather fight and die then watch this go on any longer" Gohan watched him from the reflection of the window as Trunks stood up "I can't let this go on anymore! Please, can you and Naruto train me? Please you have to! I must fight so I can help protect everyone like you two!" Naruto watched from the table, a thoughtful look on his face. "Come on Gohan, I'm half Saiyan just like you and Naruto. You guys know how I feel about all this, please give me something to channel all my anger at!" There was a moment of silence until Gohan spoke up.

"You're pitiful Trunks. An emotional wreck just like I was when mom wouldn't let me train and fight with my father." Trunks looked at Gohan in confusion while Naruto just smirked knowing where this was going as he walked over, standing beside Gohan as the two expert saiyans stood in front of Trunks. "From now on, Naruto and I are your Masters and we will train you from now on!" The young Son stated, looking at Trunks with a hard look. A look given to him once upon a time my a certain Namakian.

Trunks got a happy smile as he gave an excited nod. "Thank you! I won't let you guys down."

"We know you won't bro" Naruto said as he ruffled his brother's hair.

"Naruto, Trunks I'm home!" Bulma called out

Suddenly, Trunks began to panic. If his mother found out he planned to train to combat the androids, she would be against it. "You guys please don't tell her" Trunks begged.

"What? You think I would? I don't even tell her I train Trunks." Naruto said with a laugh, just as Bulma came in.

"It's good to see you boys are okay" Bulma said thankfully at seeing her sons, before she took notice of Trunks. "Gohan, it's good to see you!"

Gohan gave a small wave toward the blue-haired woman. "Hi Bulma."

"Quit a condense that you boys go to fight the androids and you come back with Gohan, You aren't planning anything are you?" She asked, giving them a hard look. Gohan and Trunks didn't speak, Naruto just whistled awkwardly "I didn't think so. Alright boys, let's have some dinner"

All the Saiyans at the dinner table where attacking their food with gusto. Bulma could only shake her head "You boys are so much like your fathers"

Gohan stopped his eating to look at Bulma with a sad smile at the memory of his father. "You think so?"

"Of course! The way you eat, the way you're so powerful and gentle at the same time. The way you look, especially with that outfit." Gohan patted his Gi fondly as he thought about his dad.

"I've always wanted to be strong like him, I feel honoured to wear his old colours"

"I've heard you have been fighting the androids by yourself, is that true?" Bulma asked with a concerned look.

"Yeah"

"Be careful and watch out for my boys if you ever see them."

"I will Bulma."

The Next day

Gohan and Naruto were watching Trunks power up, impressing them both with the power level for one his age. When he was done powering up, the three got ready to start their training. Gohan and Naruto both rushed Trunks, throwing a barrage of punches, which he mainly dodged or blocked, it wasn't until Naruto sent a kick at his head yelling 'Dodge!' that sent him flying into a whirlpool in the ocean.

"Ah, Naruto, Gohan help me"

"FLY UP!" Naruto yelled out

"The whirlpool's too strong, I can't swim!"

"I SAID FLY UP!"

"Maybe I could build a raft..."

"AAARRRGGHHH" Naruto yelled out in annoyance

A few minutes later

Trunks was wiping his face with a towel, back on land. "So much for the royal treatment." Trunks muttered under his breath.

"We never said it was going to be easy" Naruto said with a smirk as he leaned on some rocks

"Yeah...Hey Gohan, you new are dad pretty well right? what was he like." Naruto turned his attention to Gohan wanting to know as well.

Gohan had a thoughtful look on his face "He was tough, extremely powerful, kind of arrogant and very proud, if a bit dense. A bit like Naruto here!" Gohan and Trunks shared a laugh while Naruto just gained a tic mark at the teasing.

Later That Day

It was nighttime and the two masters were watching Trunks as he tried to power up and become a Super Saiyan, Gohan doing his best to help. "Remember all the children who died to those monsters. Remember how you felt that day!"

The more Trunks thoughts about all the people the androids killed, friends, family, the angrier he got. A golden aura started to surround Trunks as he tried to bring out more of the Super Saiyan power, until he collapsed from exhaustion, the golden aura vanishing. Naruto and Gohan were thinking along the same lines. 'He almost had it. A little more and he could be a Super Saiyan.'

"Hey Trunks that's enough today, let's go home" Naruto called out as he walked towards his brother

"Sounds good" Trunks said with a smile as he flew with his mentors

The Next Day With The Androids

At an Amusement park the twin androids were having fun as they rode a few rides and killed a few people there, enjoying themselves in their chaotic amusement.

The three half breed Saiyans flew as fast as they could towards the Amusement park, to try and put a stop to the androids. When they found the Androids, Gohan and Naruto got into a fighting stance.

"Look Seventeen it's our favourite little toys" Eighteen said not taking her eye's off of Naruto.

"Hmm you think their heart for another beating?"

"Trunks let Naruto and I handle this." Gohan said, making Trunks look at him in surprise.

Naruto chose to add to it before Trunks could say anything. "Unless they team up on one of us, in which case.. jump in." To that, Trunks nodded. Naruto then teleported in front of Seventeen, giving him a strong punch that sent him through a couple of buildings.

Naruto gave a yell as he transformed into his Super Saiyan form, giving chase after the android. Eighteen went for Gohan who also transformed into a Super Saiyan. Every attack they threw ended in a stalemate,the android's cybernetic computers easily keeping up with the saiyan's skills. Eighteen threw a kick making Gohan slam into a support beam for a ride, she then kicked him around some more until she palm thrust him into a game stand that exploded on impact.

As Gohan was getting up Naruto was sent flying into him sending them sprawling across the ground. Naruto getting up instantly shot a Ki blast at Android Seventeen surprising him. Crossing his arms, Seventeen took the blast, causing an explosion. However, when the blast cleared, the android was fine, only his clothes having rips on them.

"Damn he's dangerous today." He noted, with Eighteen nodding in agreement. "Let's finish this quick, I want to go shopping." The two got in sync as Naruto charged at the two. Eighteen smacked Naruto's legs from under him, while Seventeen kneed him in the stomach, then double axe kick slamming him into the ground face first. Gohan saw what was happening to his Best Friend tried to help but was sent flying away by a double Ki blast.

Seeing his brother in danger, Trunks charged in wanting to help. Eighteen seeing this, jumped away from Naruto. She had an amused smirk as Trunks chased her. When Trunks caught up to her he threw a barrage of punches at her, Eighteen blocked all of them, while throwing a few of her own here and there. Trunks let his anger guide him as his punches grew faster, before he got a lucky hit in. However, that angered Eighteen greatly as she grabbed him by his throat, a ball of Ki in hand ready to end Trunks.

Naruto getting up and seeing his brother about to be killed blasted up, giving a strong elbow to Eighteen's face. Naruto caught his brother, jumping away to get some distance. Gohan seeing Trunks was hurt sent a kick at Seventeen, then tried to leave with Naruto.

The twins seeing that they are trying to escape fired a barrage of Ki blast that completely destroyed the Amusement Park. The three half Saiyans were hiding behind a broken wall as the androids continued to blast everything.

"Looks like they got away" Eighteen said, stopping as she looked around

"Yeah seems that way" Seventeen blasted a few more times "Let's take a few pot shots. We might get lucky" Raising both their hands in the air, there was a giant blinding light and then it showed nothing but ruins. Thinking this was enough the two Androids flew away.

Naruto who blocked most of the blast for Trunks rolled onto his back as he slowly started to pass out from the pain. Gohan was missing an arm as he crawled to give Naruto a senzu bean. "Come on Naruto, don't leave me now! You and Trunks are all I got!" Gohan grunted as he forced Naruto to eat the bean, he passed out a second later.

Naruto's wounds healed up instantly, waking him up. Jumping to his feet he checked Trunks to see if he was okay. Satisfied when all he found was some cuts and bruises, turning his attention to Gohan he was horrified when he saw Gohan was missing his arm. Naruto threw Gohan over his shoulder, holding Trunks under his arm. "Hold on guys! I'll get you guys back home in no time!"

Bulma was typing on her computer when she heard a noise. Turning around quickly, Bulma's eyes widened when she saw her son and his state as well as the states of the other two, more so Gohan. "Naruto dear Kami what happened?!" Bulma yelled as he slowly laid them on the ground.

"To be blunt," Naruto said as he slid down wall "We got our assess kicked." as Bulma was checking over everyone she saw how Gohan was missing an arm.

"Oh Kami his arm! Naruto please help me get him to a bed." Naruto grunted as he lifted Gohan up once more. After laying him down and asking Naruto to hold him down "Okay Gohan this is going to hurt but bear with me." Bulma said as she put alcohol on his wound.

Gohan's snapped open as he gave a horrible scream of pain, thrashing around. When he settled he passed out again.

"Naruto what happened?!" Bulma demanded as Naruto was watching them sleep.

"The androids." Bulma frowned when she heard that. She sat in front of Naruto cupping his face and forced him to look at her.

"Naruto, I need you tell me everything" Naruto closed his eyes before he began to tell Bulma everything. Bulma was thinking over everything in her head. She wasn't happy that her sons were training to defeat the androids, as it was too dangerous. However, she knew it would be pointless to try and force them to both quit. "You and Trunks are all I have left. I don't want to lose either of you!" Bulma sobbed out as she held on to him.

Naruto couldn't look him mother in the eye, even as she was hugging him. "I promise you mum, I will look after Trunks, nothing bad will happen to him" Bulma kissed him on the top of his head before walking out the room to go back to her computer.

Naruto stood up, leaving the room to go train. Just before he left the room he turned back to look at them both "I won't let this happen to you guys ever again I promise." Naruto's eyes hardened as he fully left the room "A promise of a lifetime."

The Next Day

Gohan and Naruto were watching Trunks as he tried to transform once more. "Come on Trunks I know you can do this. Get angry! Think about those damn androids and all they have done!"

"Think how it would feel if they killed me, Mum and Gohan!" A Golden aura started to surround Trunks as he tried to tap into the power from deep within. "COME ON TRUNKS! YOU CAN DO IT! LET YOUR RAGE OUT!" Unfortunately, Trunks couldn't hold it for much longer as he collapsed on the ground huffing and panting.

Naruto had a proud smile as he watched his brother get up, proud of how far he was coming along. "Come on, I know great place where we could relax."

Naruto was watching the clouds go bye with relaxed smile on his face as Gohan and Trunks were chatting. Trunks then turned his attention to Naruto. "Hey, Naruto why can't I transform? What am I doing wrong?"

"You're not doing anything wrong. It takes a great source of anger to trigger your Super Saiyan transformation. You can't just do it at will." He explained. Trunks seemed to understand a little bit.

"I still don't quite get it."

Gohan decided to jump in see if he could help "You see for me to transform I think how the androids killed Piccolo and Krillin. Then I feel a horrible hurt and the pain from that memory, turns into rage. Then something snaps from deep within, I feel all my power flowing out."

Trunks had an awed look in his eye's before turning to his brother. "What about you Naruto? How did you transform?"

"I was training far from home. I collapsed from dehydration and exhaustion.I then had a dream. Well, more like a nightmare really. it's a bit hard to remember but I saw you and Mum lying on the floor with blood all around. Those damn androids were sitting there, laughing and I heard of voice whispering for me to kill them. The voice just got louder and louder until I couldn't take it anymore and I Transformed." Trunks was about to say something but was cut off by an explosion from the nearby town.

Jumping to their feet, both Gohan and Naruto transformed into Super Saiyan instantly. "Trunks I'm going to need you to stay here so you don't get hurt." Gohan told the young saiyan.

"You have to let me help, Gohan! You only have one arm! What can you do with ONE arm?"

Gohan smiled as he looked at the city "You're right what can I do with one arm."

"Thank you. Trunks said, thinking he was allowing him to come. However, before Trunks could react Gohan struck him in the back of the neck, knocking him out instantly.

"That! I can do that with one arm. Now what can I do to the androids with one arm?"

"Best not to think about that, now let's go" Naruto said as he blasted off to the city, Gohan not that far behind him.

Seventeen was standing on top of a destroyed building destroying more buildings with Ki blast "You know what? ..I'm bored"

"Well, we could find another city?" Eighteen suggested

"No, I mean, like... bored of this whole 'great destroyer' shtick, you know? Destroying things, killing people..." shooting another random blast at a building "...It's just boring"

"Yeah, it's kind of lost its lustre. After you wipe an entire genre of music off the face of the Earth, what's left?"

"You know what I always wanted to do? Like, since before all this? ..Be a park ranger."

"You wanna range a park?" a man was getting out of some rubble just as Eighteen sent a blast at him, killing him.

" Hell yeah! Livin' outdoors, communicatin' with nature, shootin' poachers... Yeah, I think I'ma do tha-" Seventeen was cut as Naruto's boots met his face sending him through a building.

Eighteen started to laugh her ass off. "HAHAHAHA! He slapped your shit"

"Okay, you know what? That's it! I'm killing' every human! EVERY. ONE! Then I'm gonna range the shit out of that park!"

Gohan landed next to Naruto with fierce glare aimed at the androids. Naruto was facing Eighteen with his back to Gohan, while Gohan was facing Seventeen, "You know you can't win. You can't destroy what my friend and I really our." Seventeen just smirked as he got closer along with his sister.

Naruto started to add his own words "Even if you manage to kill us both, someone much stronger will take our place and end you both! Not one death will go unaccounted for, not one!" Naruto roared at as he charged at Eighteen, Gohan doing the same to Seventeen. Naruto chased her into a half destroyed building going up the floors until they reached the last one. Giving her a double strike to the face Naruto grabbed her by legs and started to swing her around, throwing her straight down to the ground that broke upon impact.

A black ball of Ki with a silver ring around it appeared in his hand as he charged up attack, once the attack was at full power Naruto hurled it at while yelling out "RASEN RING"! Naruto teleported out of the area as the hole building erupted in black Ki. Getting both Seventeen and Gohan's attention.

Naruto huffed after putting more than seventy percent of his power in the attack. Naruto was feeling confident that he killed Eighteen until he felt her wrap her arms around his neck and push her chest into his back. "That actually hurt but it wasn't enough to kill me and it never will be." Naruto was in too much shock to move, as he watched the still alive Eighteen walked out of the rubble. Eighteen then appeared behind Naruto and kneed him in the back making give a gasp of pain. Then she grabbed him by the back of his head in a tight grip as she flew straight down to the ground slamming Naruto head first then threw him through a few building while shooting a Ki blast at him.

"That will keep him down for a bit." Eighteen said as she flew towards her brother and Gohan. Throwing a punch at Gohan, which he blocked, however wasn't ready for the double axe slam from Seventeen that sent him threw a few buildings. Gohan quickly got up and jumped back to gain distance.

Shooting a Ki blast at the twins who shot a combined Ki blast of their own. There was a struggle for dominance until Gohan won blasting them both away.

Gohan went to charge but had to block a Ki blast Seventeen sent at him that left him open, allowing Seventeen the chance to deck him across the face. Gohan backed off to get some cover but Seventeen gave chase. Shooting a barrage of Ki blast at Seventeen and dodging Eighteen's sneak attack, Gohan elbowed her in the back, grabbing her by her leg he flew down and slammed her through the building.

Naruto slowly got out of the rubble, feeling Gohan power rise he did his best to get there in time just as heavy rain came down from above.

Seventeen with his sister by his side shared a look until they moved in sync with Seventeen at the front. Both of them charging at Gohan, who didn't have enough time to dodge as the two threw furious punches at him. He did his best to block but it wasn't enough.

Gohan flew away trying to gain some leverage but they gave chase shooting two Ki blast at the front of Gohan. Gohan tried to block the explosion but the twins slammed into him sending him into a building, as Gohan was falling to the ground the twins pointed both their hands at him firing a barrage of Ki at Gohan slowly killing him.

Naruto was frozen in place as he watched his friend be killed. Tears streamed down his cheeks mixing with the rain as he fell to his knees, his Super Saiyan Transformation vanishing in his loss of concentration.

When the androids stopped firing their attack Gohan hit the floor lying in a puddle of water, which began to turn red with his blood spilling out. Eighteen noticed Naruto was there, she flew in front of him getting his attention. When he saw her again Naruto's rage kicked back in again as he jumped up and threw a punch at her face turning Super Saiyan as he does it.

Eighteen grabbed his fist while also sending a kick to his ribs breaking them in the process. Taking a step back Naruto held his ribs in pain as he fired a Ki blast at her point blank. When the attack settled down it showed Eighteen completely unharmed. Grabbing Naruto by the back of his head she kneed him in the stomach a few time before sending a Ki blast at him that sent him skidding across the ground. Naruto fell out of his Super Saiyan transformation as he tried to stay conscious.

Eighteen straddled Naruto's chest pressing his broken ribs, breaking them more in the process. Running her hands over his cheeks Eighteen gave a hum as she got an idea. "You know Naruto I think I will give you something to remember me by." She dug three of her nails into his cheeks before slowly running them down and repeated the process with his other cheek. All Naruto could do was scream in pain until it was over.

When she was done she licked the blood from her nails, then placed a kiss on his lips. Moving over to his ear Eighteen whispered in his ear three words that will forever haunt him "I own you." Darkness took over Naruto as he blacked out.

When Naruto woke up he found himself bandaged up with his brother by his side sleeping. Naruto tried to sit up but winced each time he failed, waking Trunks up. Trunks rubbed his eyes until he saw his brothers smiling face "Hey bro."

Trunks got a happy smile as he brought his brother into a hug making him grunt in pain but return the hug nonetheless.

'I'm sorry Gohan I couldn't save you but I'll protect Trunks no matter what'

End of Flash Back

But Naruto couldn't keep his promise. As the years went by Naruto continued to fight the androids getting a little better at a time until the dame came where they followed him home. Naruto has countless regrets but that will always be one of them. As the rain started to die down Naruto flew to his home ready to go back to the past and stop the androids from destroying his world.

Naruto hopped in the time machine giving one last look at his home, the graves of his family "I will change the future. I promise Mom, Trunks"

The Time Machine was surrounded in a bright light until the light faded showing no form of Naruto or the Time Machine.
