Even though this is Post-GT, Goku never leaves and is an adult. I just like him better that way that's all. Enjoy the fic.
Dead Man's Dream
Night covered a large, dense forest. It was cool and quiet except for the occasional sounds of nocturnal animals disturbing the peace in the veil of darkness.
The only source of light was the moon that loomed high above it. But it wasn't just any normal night.
It was a Lunar Eclipse.
As the moon slowly passed in the sky, it began to turn a dirty orange as the Earth's gravity bent the light of the sun to hit the moon's surface.
The color changed from orange to an even deeper orange until it turned a deep crimson, blood red.
Suddenly the entire face of the moon began to crack like an egg shell before the red was swallowed up by a bright white light that engulfed it for a brief moment.
After the light faded, another light shined in its place.
It was smaller and was moving straight for the planet at very high speeds.
The object entered the atmosphere and was bathed in fire for a few seconds before it passed through and suddenly changed course, swooping lazily like it was trying to land instead of crash.
Even still, it was moving too fast to land as it hit the Earth, spraying mountains of dirt everywhere on impact.
It didn't stop there as it razed everything in its path as it tore through the forest, uprooting trees like matchsticks.
Nothing seemed to be able to stop the object from ripping apart the Earth.
Finally, it stopped after creating a large rift in its last few moments.
The forest was almost completely obliterated by the object. A 100 meter wide trench it created was smoking and it had actually turned into lava from the heat.
Animals scurried for their lives as what remained of the forest was burned to ash by the blaze which was caused by the object.
As the fire grew, it illuminated the object. It had a strange shape to it, like an oval-shaped pod of capsule. On it was a mark that was rubbed away by the crash.
The pod whirled as it opened with a sharp hiss as steam escaped.
The door opened wide to reveal what it contained.
Within was a dark, manlike figure covered in ice. It was still, like the pod had become a coffin for the being inside.
Its right hand jerked, like a struck nerve. Seconds later, it jerked again, but one could tell it was a more conscious effort as the hand clenched into a fist and the ice was instantly vaporized by the beings power.
Its whole body began to twitch as it awoke, its eyes opening little by little.
"I'm free." It's raspy, evil voice whispered.

Morning had come and already the Z-warriors were going about their usual business.
By some strange coincidence, most of them were in Satan City at the same time.
"Woman! How dare you make me take time from my training to be your pack mule!" Vegeta growled as he held on to boxes of clothes and bags of misc. woman things.
Bulma sighed as she turned to her husband.
"Listen Vegeta, it's only been an hour. I'm sure Goku isn't going to surpass you if you take off a few measly hours to help me shop. And stop calling me Woman!" Bulma told him.
Vegeta snorted, but was too busy with the boxes to fight back.
"Mama!" Bra said as she skipped up to her mother with a handful of bags.
"What is it, dear?" Bulma asked.
"I'm out of money, could I have some more?" She asked as she dropped her bags and stuck out her hands.
"Bra, you've already spent your allowance. I'm afraid you'll just have to learn to use your money wisely."
"But Mama, Marron is going to be here soon. How can we shop without money?" She pouted.
Bulma sighed, she was more strong willed than Vegeta with their daughter, but she already had him whining and she didn't need more of it so she caved.
"Fine, but only a 1000 zenni. No more, got it." She handed the girl the money and Bra cheered as she picked up her bags and went to her father.
"Papa, could you hold these for me, thanks!" Before Vegeta could say anything, she had already placed them in his hands and kissed him on the cheek before running off.
"Why me? How could this day get any worse?"
"Hey Vegeta!"
The Saiyan Prince spoke too soon as he flinched at the voice and turned to see his arch-rival, Kakarot walking up to him with his noisy mate beside him.
"Kakarot! What the hell are you doing here?" He snarled, but he could barely move with all of the items he held.
"Nothing, what are you doing here?" Goku asked with his classic grin.
"Er…um… shopping." He moaned as Bulma walked up to ChiChi.
"Hey ChiChi, how are you?"
"Fine, just searching for some clothes for Goku. Orange gets old after a while."
"Yeah, I guess it can after 30 years."
Both women laughed at their little joke, which the two men looked at them with blank stares.

Trunks and Goten were butting heads in the arcade.
"Yeah, take that!" Goten said as he and his best friend were battling on MK4.
"Oh no you don't!" Trunks said, both were using the classic fighters, Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Goten: Scorpion and Trunks: Sub-Zero
"Damn!" Goten growled as he got frozen and Trunks dealt a devastating combo to him.
"Haha, I'm gonna win!" Trunks fired another ice blast.
"Not today!" Scorpion disappeared and hit Sub-Zero from behind, returned to the other side and speared him.
"Goddammit!" Trunks growled as Goten took down the remaining life he had with a bloody combo.
"FINISH HIM!" The game said.
"Time for a barbeque." Scorpion took off his mask and fired flames from his mouth, burning Sub-Zero as he screamed and ran around.
"SCORPION WINS!"
"Yeah!" Goten cheered as he punched the air and did a few play kicks acting all macho at winning.
"What does a game prove? I can always kick the crap out of you in a real fight!" Trunks declared.
"Oh yeah!" Goten turned back and got in Trunks face, insulted by his remark.
"Yeah!" Suddenly both were grappling eachother and rolling on the ground as they pulled eachother's mouths and tried to get the upperhand.
"LIU KANG WINS!"
Both stop to see a little girl beat Scorpion, who was basically a punching bag since Goten wasn't there to control him, flashing them a big smile as she continued playing.
"Oh man." They whined as they forgot their argument and sulked.

Krillin, 18, and Marron were on their way to the Mall in their car. Krillin was the one driving.
"Dad, could you hurry up please. Bra is waiting for me." Marron pleaded to her father.
"Don't worry Marron, we're almost there. You'll have plenty of time to shop with Bra." Krillin said cheerfully as he pulled onto the off ramp that led to the Mall.
"You know you could always learn how to fly. Then you wouldn't have to worry about us taking you to the Mall." Krillin suggested.
"Nice try, I'll be 16 soon and you promised you would buy me a car when I got my license." Marron said quickly.
"Saw right through me didn't she." Krillin said with a heavy sigh.
"She's our daughter, of course she saw through it." 18 said with a small grin.
"I'm just saying that she at least learn some of the basic skills. Even Bra knows how to fly."
"She's half-Saiyan also Krillin. If Marron doesn't want to learn, we shouldn't force her."
"Yeah I know." Krillin sighed.
Krillin was about to say something else when the highway exploded in front of them.
"Look out!" 18 shouted and Krillin jerked the wheel.
Marron screamed as they swerved wildly until Krillin got to a complete stop, just inches from the gaping hole that spread across the entire highway, showing a very bad fall to more traffic beneath them.
Both adults got out of the car to see what the problem was.
"Did you see what happened?" Krillin asked.
"No, but I doubt it was an accident." 18 said in a warning tone.
Across the hole, they heard footsteps and thought it was another bystander, but that quickly changed as the man continued to walk off the concrete onto the air as if it were solid ground.
They saw that he was the one who did this and were ready, but weren't sure what his intentions were and didn't go fully into fight mode.
The man stopped in the center of the hole and gave them a very cold smirk which alienated his emotionless eyes.
"I'm not sensing any ki at all. I don't like this." Krillin said as they looked at him, taking in every detail to see what they were up against.
The man wore white sneakers, black jeans, a red T-shirt, a solid black leather trench coat that fell to his knees which his hands were in its pockets, small gold hoop earrings on both ears, and a black baseball cap turned backwards with a long red and black bang sticking out through the hole. Just barely visible on the edge of the cap and a much larger version was on the back of his coat, was a red symbol with the letters RR on it.
Both gasped when they saw it.
"You're with the Red Ribbon Army aren't you?" Krillin said. "Are you an android?"
The man snickered. "Why yes I am. How very observant of you?" The android said in a raspy voice, but he said it in a very smooth undertone that many women would find sexy.
Marron was one as she had stars in her eyes as she blushed at his attractive features, but when she saw his eyes, that pretty much scared that female reaction out of her as she paled and hid in the car.
"That's impossible. Only I'm left and Dr. Gero is dead. You can't be one of his androids." 18 stated in anger.
The man didn't even flinch at her words.
"I assumed as much from an inferior creation. It really is a shame I'll have to kill all of you." The android said.
Marron whimpered when he said that and tried to keep from being seen.
"Not if I can help it! Yyyaaaa!" Krillin leaped at the man with everything her had, rearing his fist back.
In a flash, the android's right hand snapped out from his pocket and backhanded Krillin in the face, knocking the grey-haired man away and crashing into a building. This also revealed that he wore black fingerless gloves on his hands
"Krillin!" 18 shouted before returned her sights on the man.
"Care to try your luck?" The man beckoned as he returned his hand to his pocket.
"You bet!" 18 flew at him. Even though she hadn't really trained in quite some time, her power was as strong as ever with her mechanical structure.
It did little good as the man shifted his body sideways, easily avoiding her attack.
18 stopped and tried a roundhouse, but it was caught with the man's left hand, surprising her.
"You might be an android, but to me you're just a pathetic copy."
The android foot came from nowhere and nailed her right in the stomach, knocking the air from her lungs.
The man let go of her leg and raised his arm, bringing his elbow down on the back of her head, sending her straight down into the highway below, hard.
Cars swerved when they saw her crash and crashed into eachother to get away.
18 groaned, but managed to get to her feet.
She glared as the man looked at her with a wild glint that appeared in his eyes.
A semi was heading right at her, not know what had happened. The trucker saw her and hit the brakes as hard as he could.
18 powered up and blasted off, blowing the 8 ton monster off its wheels like a toy.
The android simply looked at her as she charged at him with a cry of fury.
She tried to uppercut him, but he backed away.
She tried to spin kick him, but he ducked and rose back with a knee, which she blocked with both hands.
She then began to send a frenzy of punches at him, but he dodged them with no effort at all.
"Do you see how it is to fight a superior creation?" The android said before phasing away to appear behind her.
"Useless." He pulled a hand out to blast her.
"Destructo Disk!"
The android turned and caught the attack as if he had expected it.
"So you're still alive. Based on my data, that blow should have killed you or the least taken you out of the fight."
Krillin was dirty and his clothes ragged, but he was there, proud and true.
"Well you're data is obsolete. I may be old, but I've still got plenty of fight in me." Krillin got in a fighting stance.
The man got back that wild glint. "Hmmm, lets see how much blood you have in you."
He closed his fist, shattering the disk into fragments.

The others were unaware of the fighting nearby.
The two women decided to shop together, their husbands behind them to carry everything they buy.
Both men groaned as they each held a tower of boxes, Vegeta's being the tallest, but Goku wasn't far behind.
"Would this color look great on Goku?" Chi Chi asked as she showed Bulma a nice business shirt.
"Sure, I think it'll look great on him." Bulma replied.
"Great! I'll buy it!" Chi Chi said.
"Why do women go hysterical over clothes?" Goku whispered to Vegeta as Chi Chi threw the box on top, causing the tower to wobble.
"How the hell should I know how the female mind works?" Vegeta gruffly whispered back.
"Man I sure wish something exciting would happen right about now." Goku sighed as they were about to go to another store.
Suddenly, Krillin shot through a wall and crashed into a fountain, causing a big splash.
Everyone turned as the man slumped at the edge as water poured down on him.
"Krillin!" Goku dropped his boxes, causing them to fall over and almost unsettling Vegeta's tower of boxes as he tried to keep them from tilting.
Goku floated down to his best friend, who was barely conscious as his face was black and blue from so many bruises.
"Krillin, what happened?"
"A new… enemy, Goku. 18…. Marron… save them." He moaned in pain.
Goku quickly searched himself and grabbed his emergency Senzu and popped it into his best friend's mouth.
"Eat this Senzu, Krillin. Don't worry, I'll save them." Goku took off through the same hole that Krillin had made.
Goten and Trunks left the arcade, oblivious to what had happened, but when they saw Goku leave the Mall, they knew something must've happened.
"Come on, let's go." Both took off after him.
Vegeta watched Kakarot as well as Trunks and Goten fly out.
With a grunt, he sat the down the boxes as easy as he could to keep them from falling over.
"Vegeta." Bulma said.
The Prince turned to her with no expression on his face.
"What's happening?" She asked in an unsure tone.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out. You stay here." With a flash, he took off, knocking over the tower with his ki when he took off.
Bulma's attitude changed after the tower collapsed on both her and Chi Chi.
"Ugggghhh, I'll get him for that."
xxxxxxxxxx
Goku ascended to the air to get a better look. He knew he couldn't sense 18's ki because she didn't have one, but Marron did and so he tried to find her's.
"Got it." He powered up and blasted off.
"Dad!" Goten shouted as he and Trunks caught up with him.
"What's going on, Goku?" Trunks asked.
"I'm not sure, but we have to hurry." The three took off with even more speed.
When they got near Marron's ki, they saw the fighting.
18 was fighting furiously with an unknown man who was toying with her.
"Goten, Trunks. Go get Marron and take her someplace safe."
"Right." Both said and took off to do as they were told.
"Kakarot!" Goku turned to see Vegeta stop next to him.
"I'm glad you could make, Vegeta." Goku said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'm just here because there might be a good chance of a fight." The Saiyan snorted.

18 was firing rapidly at the man, but he phased away from all of her blasts, making him seem like a ghost as he left afterimages every time he phased.
The man paused for a brief instant as his eyes flashed red.
"High power levels. They're here."
In an instant, he appeared in front of her and kicked her hard in the chin, sending her flying from the force.
xxxxxxxxxx
Vegeta saw her flying right at them and the Saiyan Prince caught her.
"Well well well, I was wondering when you two would show up." Said the unknown man who floated up to them, but kept his distance from them.
"Just who are you anyway! Why have you attacked my friends and hurt innocent people?" Goku demanded.
The man simply grinned. "Why do you always ask that question yet you always know the answer? I simply want to exterminate every living thing on this planet."
Goku's expression hardened. "Guessing from the fact that I can't sense your ki you must be an android."
"Good guess. Handiwork of the good ol' doctor himself." The man replied as a wind blew his coat to the side.
"But how can that be? Dr. Gero is dead and we've destroyed Cell and Super 17. There's no way that you can be one of his." Goku said.
18 regained some strength and broke free from Vegeta's grip.
"Everything was destroyed. There's nothing left of his lab. It's impossible." The female android stated.
The man raised a finger and waved it as he clicked his tongue.
"That's where you're wrong. I am the first android he ever created. I am the prototype to all of the androids after me. I am Android number 1."
18 gasped.
"No, all of the other androids before us were defective and weak so they were destroyed."
This made 1 laugh, which unnerved them a little.
"Is that the excuse he told you? On the contrary 18, the androids before you were far stronger."
18 seemed even more surprised.
"Didn't it seem odd that 19 and Gero were weaker than you and 16 was stronger? Hmm?" 1 asked.
18 didn't know how to answer.
"Cell was the only exception and I'll tell you why." 1 began as memories returned.
"You see Dr. Gero was so furious at the Red Ribbon Army losing to Goku that he wanted to create the most powerful being he could.
Dr. Gero hiding in the mountains and working on machines.
"He spent years perfecting the greatest android to surpass all lifeforms. That's when he came to make me."
"Rise Android 1! You have been completed!" Dr. Gero ordered as 1 woke and stepped out from his pod.
"But he didn't realize that I was so powerful that I couldn't be controlled no matter what he ordered me to do. I almost killed him when I woke, but he was smart enough to implant a remote to cut off my functions."
"1, what are you doing? I am your master and you do as I say!" The doctor ordered, but 1 kept advancing to tear him to pieces. Luckily Gero had a remote which he pressed a button. 1's eyes blanked out and he was as stiff as a statue.
"Seeing me too strong to control, he decided to build others, strong enough to defeat Goku, but weak enough to be controlled. That didn't go very well as they too were rebellious, but I destroyed them because I didn't want competition. That also proved that I was strong enough to resist the remote."
"So then what happened?" Goku asked, getting curious.
1 seemed to smile at Goku.
"I always liked your attitude, Goku. It's actually refreshing from all of the others being battle-hardened, yet you've never changed no matter who the enemy was. Well anyways…"
Three androids stood before 1 as he looked at them with a simple grin.
The big one with the long ponytail and the short one with the big hat attacked, but 1 blew them to pieces before they even got close.
The one remaining android seemed angered, but Gero laughed.
"You've done it now! With the destruction of 14 and 15, Android 13 can become even stronger!"
Android 13 did so as he absorbed their chips and power cells and began to grow bigger as their power filled his body.
"Now Android 13! Kill him!"
The behemoth lunged at 1, but 1 moved out of reach as if he were a shadow.
13 tried again, but 1 still moved away.
The monster growled until 1's hand appeared in his face.
1 grinned as he blasted 13 into ashes.
"Seeing me as too great a threat and me becoming more resistant to being shut off. He locked me away in my pod and sent me into the core of the moon, frozen in suspended animation forever."
"Cell was basically an experiment to see if he could bypass the rebellion I had by making a genetic android from the cells of the most powerful fighters in the world and to grow stronger by absorbing you and your brother to become perfect. Basically strong but still able to be controlled. Cell was an inferior creation by my standards."
"So how did you break free?" Goku asked.
"I waited. I may have been unable to move, but my computer still functioned perfectly." 1 tapped his head with a finger.
"I watched and waited. I observed all of you as you grew more powerful with each new threat. Seeing that these new levels of Super Saiyan could be a problem, I began to adapt my own power to grow stronger as I meditated in my prison until the time when I could escape. That's when it happened. The distortion created by 17 on the Earth and in Hell. That created enough energy to rouse me from my sleep. I wasn't yet able to break free from my prison, but I knew it wouldn't be long. Last night there was a Lunar Eclipse, the gravity between the Earth and Moon was strong enough to pull me from the Moon's core and send me back to the Earth. Now I'm free to do whatever I please."
Vegeta hmphed.
"I think you're all talk. You're still nothing but a pile of bolts to me!" Vegeta powered up and charged at 1, transforming to SS as he did.
1 saw the attack coming long before Vegeta even got to him.
With his left hand still in his pocket, he pulled his coat out like a matador teasing a bull.
"What!" It was too late, Vegeta flew straight into the coat and 1 wrapped his arm around Vegeta.
The Prince let out muffled yells as he kicked and tried to get out.
"It's better than being flesh and blood." 1 pulled out his right hand and hit Vegeta square in his back, almost snapping his spine.
Vegeta howled and continued to fight to get out.
"Leather isn't very breathable. You'll soon die from suffocation."
1 proceeded to punch Vegeta repeatedly through the leather, making the Saiyan howl even more.
"Vegeta!" Goku flew to save his friend's life.
1 saw Goku coming and threw Vegeta at Goku, who caught him.
Using Vegeta as a distraction, 1 fired a powerful blast of ki at them.
Seeing the danger, Goku placed his fingers to his head and disappeared, letting the blast pass by and blow apart an entire city block in an explosion of fire.
1 snickered as a mushroom cloud rose into the air and he turned to see Goku and Vegeta on the other side.
"Clever move. Was that Instant Transmission?"
"Yeah, why?" Goku asked as Vegeta shook the cobwebs out to find himself in his rival's arms.
"Let go of me you idiot!" Vegeta growled as he shoved Goku away.
1 smirked.
"I was just wondering. Is this how it works?" 1 suddenly vanished.
"Get out of the way, Vegeta!" Goku pushed Vegeta hard and transformed to SS in a flash as 1 appeared slightly above him with his fist raised to strike.
1's fist passed through air as Goku vanished.
"I guess I was right." 1 vanished as Goku appeared, kicking from behind, but 1 vanished again.
"Damn! It's harder to fight him if I can't sense where he is?" Goku looked around, expecting the android to appear.
He heard something and turned to see a blast heading right for him, which he flew over.
1 appeared above him and slammed his feet into his back, driving him down fast into the pavement with ground shattering force.
The entire city seemed to shift and upheaval from the impact.
1 flew out of the hole, with Goku in hot pursuit.
"Nyyyaa!" Goku shouted as he threw a barrage of punches and kicks at 1, who evaded them with a wide grin on his face.
Both phased and bounced around the city, mere blurs to the eye.
Shockwaves shattered windows whenever they clashed, but Goku was clearly outmatched.
"Come on, I expected more from the legendary Goku." 1 said as he shifted away from every blow just when they were about to land no matter how fast Goku threw them.
Goku growled and brought forth all of his power into a haymaker.
1 saw it coming and blocked it.
Light burst from the force of their limbs, swallowing everything in sight.
Goku seemed shocked as he looked at 1, who grinned.
Throughout the entire fight, 1 never used his hands at all which was surprising since he had blocked Goku's punch with his left leg, which was straight as a steel pole.
"Hehehe. Don't worry. You are after all, organic." 1 pulled out his right hand and thrust with it.
Goku gasped as his stomach was pierced, 1's hand like a knife blade, impaling the Saiyan until his whole hand was inside.
"Even for a Saiyan, this wound could be life-threatening." He jerked his hand out, which was slick with Goku's blood and his glove soaked almost completely.
Goku clutched the wound with his hands to stop the bleeding. 1 dropping his leg back down.
"It's a shame really. I don't hate you nor am I following Gero's programming. I actually enjoyed running you through and I'll enjoy taking your life."
1 aimed his right hand as dark ki gathered within it, Goku helpless to stop him with such a mortal wound.
Suddenly 1 was struck in the back by a blast, surprising him as he turned to see Gohan with his hand aimed at him.
"So the first born son of Goku arrives. I expected you to be wearing your ridiculous costume." 1 said as he eyed Gohan, who was in clothes similar to Piccolo's, but without the turban or the cape.
"Whatever you have against my Dad, you'll have to deal with me first." Gohan declared.
Goku began to lose consciousness as he could no longer sustain flight and plummeted to the ground.
Gohan saw his father falling and dashed to catch him, but 1 threw a barrage of blasts which exploded in his path, keeping him occupied to save his own life.
Goku managed enough strength to keep from crashing, but his landing wasn't very good at all as he landed on his front like he was trying to do a belly buster on the cement.
"Father!" Gohan tried again, but 1 appeared right in his face.
"Hello." 1 spun around, distracting the young adult with his coat which hid his kick into Gohan's stomach.
"Good bye." 1 brought his hands on top of one another.
Red ki materialized into a baseball bat and he swung.
Gohan raised both arms to block, but that did little as he was hit and sent tumbling through four sky scrapers and he was still going.
1 shielded his eyes from the sun to see Gohan's body.
"He's going…going… gone!" 1 said with childlike enthusiasm as the bat flickered away and he turned his attention back to Goku.
The Saiyan had gotten to one knee, clutching his wound with one hand and patting himself with the other.
"Gotta find my Senzu Bean." He began to panic because he couldn't find it, then he remembered."
"Krillin, what happened?"
"A new… enemy, Goku. 18…. Marron… save them." He moaned in pain.
Goku quickly searched himself and grabbed his emergency Senzu and popped it into his best friend's mouth.
"Eat this Senzu, Krillin. Don't worry, I'll save them."
"Dammit! I gave it to Krillin. This doesn't look good." He said as he fell out of Super Saiyan.
1 smirked at his fallen foe.
"If you're through praying. I'll finish you off now." 1 said as he raised a hand, still walking as he gathered ki into it.
"Final Flash!"
A yellow beam struck 1 full force, blowing away everything around him with pure destructive power.
Above, Vegeta had a smirk as electricity sparked around him in his SS2 state.
"Take that you pile of scrap! Nobody kills Kakarot but me!" Vegeta claimed.
The smoke cleared to see a giant hole, Goku at the edge, unharmed. Then the smoke cleared even more to see 1 standing on a small pillar of concrete, still in the same position when he was struck.
"What the hell?" The Saiyan said in awe.
1 turned his head to look up at him. "Was that supposed to hurt me?"
Before Vegeta could blink, 1 was right in front of him, ramming his knee into his stomach.
The Prince vomited a mouthful of blood.
"I told you I have been watching you. Did you think I was bluffing?" 1 grabbed the back of Vegeta's head and slammed his face on his knee.
Vegeta gasped as his nose was busted and more blood shot out.
1 finished him with a rapid barrage of kicks to his face before a deadly spinning roundhouse to his side, breaking several ribs as he shot down into the ground, tearing a long trench until he stopped, falling back to his normal state.
1 looked down at Goku, who was barely clinging to life.
"Now to finish what I started." 1 decided to not wait anymore and dove like a meteor at the weakened Saiyan.
1's sensor blinked as two people phased in front of Goku, they were 18 and Krillin.
"Solar Flare!" Both shouted as they put their hands in front of their face and closed their eyes.
"Arrrggghhh!" 1 growled as he stopped to shield his eyes from the bright light.
"Come on Goku. Hang in there." Krillin said as he and 18 picked him up on their shoulders and phased while 1 was distracted.
"My eyes! Damn you Human vermin!" 1 growled, but he soon regained his sight.
He blinked a few times to clear the spots and saw that Goku was gone.
1 landed and walked over to the spot where Goku was, the only thing left was a small puddle of blood.
He turned and walked over to where there was another puddle of blood, made by Vegeta when he kneed him.
The android knelt down and touched it with the index finger of his left hand and rubbed it between his finger and thumb.
"Vegeta's blood will do nicely, but I'll need to get it from his Tan dien chakra like I did with Goku." 1 stood back up.
"No matter, I can always get it later." 1 looked down at his right hand, which was still covered in Goku's blood.
The strange thing was that the blood was still wet and dripping, like the first moment it covered his hand.
"I'll spare them for now. They can have their moment of anxiety." 1 began to walk down the deserted road and seemingly faded away like a ghost.
