Destroy? Fiddlesticks! The whole thing is West Kaio-sama's plan to REDUCE the damage! Piccolo-Kami and Piotr were following the Boss's orders on this one.
To be a little more specific... Over ten years ago, but less than a hundred, Uranai Baba started reading just about everyone's deaths as caused by this wierd green bug-man... being a genuine precogitive and in good with the upper levels of the spirit world, she relayed this to Kami and West Kaioh, and looked into the matter in more detail. Though it was troublesome, it was decided that Trunks' initial trip to the past would be knocked off course a bit, arriving in the Penguin Villiage of 150 years in the past, instead of the desert 15 years in his past, the series present. Through a series of circumstaces the Gero who would have created Cell on Chikyuusei, a cousin of Senbei ("Dr. SLump" being his nickname when his inventions backfire) was never born. The Fates are not part of the same heirarchy, however, and had already arranged Gero's role in the upcoming era of major conflicts within the mythic cycle, so he had to be placed somewhere, and because of the meddling retained a link to Penguin Viliage and Senbei. In the Disaster universe, there was no Android 8 or Seargent Metallic for Goku to fight in Muscle Tower, and for that matter the Red Ribbon Army was just a bunch of small-time thugs without access to major technology, their only threat being in having somehow acquired enough money to hire Tao Pai Pai.
Earth, on the other hand, had Dr. Miriam Gero, a major behind-the-scenes influence on the terrorist organisation, COBRA, that ran wild in the 1980s as the Red Ribbon would have, though he managed to escape unscathed when that organisation was finally broken up to enter the corporate world. When the active stage of the ZODIAC project officially ended, leaving only monitoring of the remaining subjects, he was instrumental in combining remnants of COBRA's Synthezoid technology with the original Stingray buma research to create the more human sexaroid and covert assassin types, not to mentiion the exceptionally lifelike disguises for inactive combat buma.
Trunks himself is stranded in the present, his own future pruned because of Cell's threat to the timelines as a whole with time-travel tech in the same continuity, even before he gets sent up the wrong trouser leg thanks to divine meddling - it's been part of he plan from the beginning that Bulma and Vegita won't be getting together in Disaster, but that's beside the point here - the point was how this is better.
To say it simply, BGC-Earth is much better equipped to deal with Gero's androids, espescially with them appearing earlier on the power curve.
Even aside from the buma and conventional military forces that aren't on the DBZ world, there's the bioengineered forces on the opposite side of the Polar War, which you haven't even seen yet - Basically, Tyrell Biogenetique SA has bred Zoanoids and Zoalords from the base of the Nexus series superhuman genemods, fitted with cybernetic control systems - entire armies in the same game if not the same league as Gero's artificial humans, rather than a handful of martial artists.
More importantly, the simple fact that Artificial Human #21 is Arale Mk.2, a hero character, rather than Cell is proof that the plan has shown major success.
So, there it is, the part EML asked about anyway, my own twists are left mostly obscure. Does it manage to impress you?

This Crossover That Should Not Be is technically an extension of a Crossover That Did, In Fact, Happen In Canon.
Chikyuu's most deranged mad scientist, the preeminent designer of superpowered androids, has just finished upgrading his greatest creation...
"That bastard Gero stole all my research. Well, he can't complain if I steal his back! JINZOUNINGEN #21, ARALE MARK 2, ACTIVATE!"
"Mou... why do I still need glasses?"
"Because meganekko are CUTE!"

Quote:and Lurker, unable to resist the Eyes, agreed, adding as an afterthought:
... Sweet jumping kami, that's BRILLIANT! Can I use this, Evil Midnight Lurker? PLEASE!? It even ties into my backstory for why Gero appears earlier than he should, a quarter of the way around the galaxy!

Pleeeeease?
Quote:Well, ask and (in this case at least, I can't speak for Toriyama-sensei) ye shall indeed recieve. The short form goes like this:
And if you can throw in an explanation of just why Kami-sama tried to destroy technological civilization, I'll be really impressed... ^.^
