NOTE: I'm gonna lay out my ground plan for three things for you guys right now. Right before Cell is introduced, the cast will be watching these films in the following order:
1. Return of Cooler
2. Super Android 13
3. History of Trunks
That is the order and I have no plans to change it, anyway enjoy the chapter and review.
Chapter 53: Catch me if you Can-droid!
(cut to Vegeta catching a Senzu Bean and starts eating it)
"So, he did give him the Senzu," Wendy smiled.
"It was either that or die and they have enough on their plate at the moment," Lucy said.
VEGETA: When a goddamn Super Saiyan asks you for a senzu bean, bald man, you say "how many"?
"Is that because you get your butt kicked a lot?" Levy wondered.
VEGETA: (gulps down the Senzu Bean and transforms back up into a Super Saiyan) Ah, that's better. Count yourselves lucky to be in the presence of a shining, golden god such as myself!
"Do you guys think a Super Saiyan God exists?" Happy asked his fellow Exceeds.
Lily and Carla looked at one another before turning back to Happy. "That sounds completely ridiculous," Carla shook her head in disbelief.
"I doubt they could achieve the power of a God," Lily answered.
VEGETA: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go kill the other android! You peons may stay here and erect a statue in my honor. (flies off)
"Achieving Super Saiyan did wonders for his ego," Freed muttered.
"I'd erect a statue of him. One made completely out of shit," Minerva snickered at her own joke.
KRILLIN: So... Vegeta's a Super Saiyan.
TIEN: Yeah, whatever. Did you catch the name of his attack, though?
PICCOLO: I know, right? "Big Bang Attack"?
"Silliest name every," Minerva agreed.
"What is with your massive hate for him?" Kagura asked.
"He's prideful and arrogant. It gets annoying ya know?" Minerva answered, completely missing the irony.
"Yeah, we know," Erza, Kagura, and Millianna, sweatdropped.
NAIL: (Uh, I don't know. This coming from Mr. "Special Beam Cannon"?)
"True, it's not the most impressive name," Levy said.
"Coming from the woman who's magic attacks are just common words," Gajeel jokes. He kept laughing at Levy's pouting face.
PICCOLO: (thinking) Hey, why don't you try coming up with a better name for an attack?
"Devil's Piercing Lance?" Rogue suggested.
"Giga Death Drill?" Sting threw in.
"Fire Dragon Cannon?" Natsu suggested, confidently.
"No, Natsu. That's an attack you would have," Lucy sweatdropped.
NAIL: (How about... "Devil Drill Beam"?)
PICCOLO: (thinking) What about "Spiral Death Beam"?
NAIL: ("Doom Laser"!)
PICCOLO: (thinking) "Rail Beam"!
NAIL: ("Nail Gun"?)
"That's the best suggestion so far," Gajeel smirked at the name. He thought about using the name for a new attack.
"Always trust that Nail has the best ideas," Mira's glee was obvious.
PICCOLO: Shit, that's good.
[OPENING SEQUENCE]
(cut to Vegeta flying after Android 20)
VEGETA: (thinking) So, just because he's a machine I can't feel his energy? That doesn't make any sense! Energy sensing's bullshit.
"Thought you came to this conclusion last arc?" Levy cocked an eyebrow.
VEGETA: (lands on a rock, out loud) Hey, why you hidin'? You scared 'cause I blew up your friend? I'd call it your sex-bot, but as you're currently demonstrating, you don't have any balls!
Some of the members laughed at Vegeta's comparisons. Carla rolled her eyes at the Prince. "Does everything he says have to be so crude?" The white cat saw Wendy laughing as well. "Don't laugh at those words, Wendy! They are very inappropriate!"
"He's too funny, Carla!" Wendy disregarded her partner's worries.
(cut to Android 20 hiding nearby behind a rock)
ANDROID 20: Yes, he's desperate to find me. I'll just have to wait him out…
"He has a tendency to blow up everything that even becomes a slight annoyance. I don't suggest this strategy," Makarov said.
VEGETA: Aw, man... sure do feel winded after blowing up your robo-sexual life partner! Sure would suck if you jumped me and took my energy! Oh, no! Some dust in my eyes! This is the worst!
"Seems someone didn't take a Space Acting class," Erza giggled.
"She has no right to judge him." Everyone thought after hearing her.
VEGETA: (nothing happens) GET THE F**K OUT HERE! (prepares an energy blast)
Makarov rolled his eyes at being proven correct.
KRILLIN: Hey, Vegeta! We finally caught up an- (sees Vegeta charging the blast) Oh, God, no!
(Vegeta fires the blast at the cliffs, causing Android 20 to jumps out of his hiding place and absorb the blast)
"Goddammit, Vegeta." Freed sighed.
"No! Wait! This might actually work in their favor," Levy told him.
ANDROID 20: And now your energy is mine!
VEGETA: But that's exactly what I was planning on. I knew you couldn't resist jumping out to suckle on my Super Saiyan teat!
"PLEASE rephrase that!" Carla frowned.
VEGETA: And now you're mine! All mine, you old le- (Android 20 retreats by bouncing off some cliffs, making a spring noise from Sonic the Hedgehog) Hey! Get back here, I wasn't done!
"You gave him ample opportunity to run away," Laxus shook his head.
VEGETA: (bounces off after Android 20, making the same spring noise, and lands on another rock) This tactical shit's getting really old! Now you get out here and fight me blindly like a man! Or a man-droid...
(camera pans up to reveal Android 20 standing upside down from a cliff)
ANDROID 20: (thinking) Yes, you may be a Super Saiyan, Vegeta, but you're still just an arrogant little brat, aren't you?
VEGETA: Olly olly oxen bitch!
"The machine isn't wrong," Yukino chuckled a bit.
ANDROID 20: (lands on the ground, thinking) Well, while you continue to prattle on, I shall make my escape and- (sees Gohan on top of a cliff) Oh, they followed me... No matter, I'll just head the other way and- (sees Tien searchin in that area) Okay, fine. I'll just maneuver back where I came fro- (sees Krillin in another area) WHY THE HELL IS HE EVEN HERE!?
That made everyone burst into laughter.
ANDROID 20: Then again... (notices Piccolo in the sky) at my age, I could use more greens in my diet.
"No way this will work," Sting said.
PICCOLO: (thinking) All right, what about "Regicide Blaster"?
"You guys are still going? Thought you settled on one already?" Romeo asked.
NAIL: ("Doomsday Crush"!)
PICCOLO: (thinking) "Anarchy Barrage"!
NAIL: ("Taco Tuesday"!)
PICCOLO: (thinking) "Hellzone Grenade"!
"That's cool!" The males agreed.
"Ehhhh…" The girls felt iffy about it.
NAIL: (Ehhh...)
"Nail agrees," Mira smiled.
PICCOLO: Screw you, I'm keeping that one.
"And Piccolo kept it," Laxus smirked.
(Android 20 catches Piccolo off-guard and grabs him from behind)
ANDROID 20: Hello there!
"IT WORKED!?"
NAIL: (I'm... gonna leave you two alone for now.)
PICCOLO: (muffled) NAIL!
ANDROID 20: Shhhhhh... Oh, don't struggle. Just lie back and think of... Namek.
"Does that count as racist?" Lisanna looked confused.
PICCOLO: (thinking) Damn it! I have to contact Gohan...!
"Gohan to help save the day!" Wendy cried, with glee.
PICCOLO: Gohan, do you hear me?! (tries to reach out to Gohan telepathically and instead gets Vegeta)
VEGETA: (thinking) Oh, God, this feels amazing. First thing I'm gonna do when I get home is step in front of a full-length mirror, strip down, turn Super Saiyan, and…
"PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THAT IMAGE!" Lucy shouted, her face beat red.
"PLEASE GIVE ME THAT IMAGE!" Canna yelled, drool dripping from her mouth.
PICCOLO: (thinking) Ugh! Gohan, Gohan, Gohan! (tries again, but gets Tien)
TIEN: (thinking) Cat loves food, y-yeah, yeah, yeah. Cat loves…
"Triclopes just went down on the cool meter," Minerva grumbled.
"Cat loves food, y-yeah, yeah, yeah!" Millianna sang, much to Minerva's annoyance.
PICCOLO: (telepathically) Uh...
TIEN: (out loud) You heard... nothing.
"We heard all of it," Millianna giggled.
PICCOLO: (thinking) Damn it! Gohan, this old man's got me from behind, you have to-
"Didn't need that mental image," Mira wanted to vomit.
GEORGE TAKEI: (telepathically) Oh my...
KING KAI: (telepathically) Seriously, how do people keep getting on this line?
"Been awhile since we've heard that gag," Levy smiled.
PICCOLO: (screams in a muffled rage)
(Piccolo is seen losing his strength while Android 20 laughs evilly when Gohan suddenly attacks the android from behind, making him release Piccolo, and gets sent flying into the ground)
"Gohan to the rescue!" Wendy and Romeo cheered together.
ANDROID 20: (his hat is seen falling into a crevice) No! My head cylinder!
PICCOLO: (catching his breath) Gohan... How did you...?
GOHAN: You two were hanging in the middle of the air. How could I not see you?
"Watch the sass, boy," Laxus warned.
PICCOLO: Don't you... sass me...
ANDROID 20: Huh?
VEGETA: Well, look who finally installed a pair!
(Vegeta, Krillin, and Tien arrive at the area and surround the android)
ANDROID 20: Well, uh, this is a little awkward. Maybe we could have a little dialogue and work this out-
"No," Erza said.
VEGETA: No.
ANDROID 20: Okay. Then how about I fight the bald one first? (looks at Tien)
"Are you sure?" Rogue lifted an eyebrow.
TIEN: Anytime, old man.
ANDROID 20: No! That one! (looks at Krillin)
"That makes more sense," Rogue shrugged.
KRILLIN: Yeah, I'ma opt out.
PICCOLO: How about this one?
ANDROID 20: Oh, please... As if you're in any condition to fight me...!
PICCOLO: Krillin, Senzu Bean.
KRILLIN: Senzu Bean?
PICCOLO: Senzu Bean.
KRILLIN: Senzu Bean! (throws Piccolo a Senzu Bean)
"Piccolo gets his Senzu bean," Lisanna remembers the last episode.
(Piccolo catches the Senzu Bean and eats it down before descending and removing his weighted clothing)
PICCOLO: Call me the can opener, 'cause I'm about to bust open your metal ass.
Levy expected Gajeel to say something, but he oddly didn't, so she turned back to the screen.
VEGETA: Yeah... how 'bout you just leave the one-liners to me?
"He's the Prince of all One-Liners after all," Gildarts jokes.
VEGETA: Besides, the old man is mine, Namekian.
PICCOLO: I just figured you wouldn't want to sully your Super Saiyan hands on such a weak opponent.
VEGETA: You know, the funny thing is, I know you're playin' me, but you're right. He's all yours.
"It's way too easy to convince him by saying that," Lucy sweatdropped.
"Let's just hope it doesn't come back to bite them in the butt," Yukino told her blonde friend.
ANDROID 20: Ah, yes, pit me against your little green man. I've already consumed enough energy from him to munch him twice- (Piccolo rushes forward and knees him in the face) Ahhh! (gets knocked past Vegeta into a plateau)
"Is Piccolo equal to a Super Saiyan?" Natsu asked.
"Probably," Bickslow answered.
VEGETA: Hah!
(cut to Trunks, who's come back from the future again, arriving at the previous battlefield)
The audience perked up in surprise at Trunks' appearance. Not expecting the time traveler to make a return.
TRUNKS: (looks at Android 19's head) Oh, my God, Chiaotzu's dead!
"Wrong doll looking vampire," Kagura said.
TRUNKS: And he really let himself go... And he's an android... That's not Chiaotzu. (realizing what it must mean) *gasps* Oh, crapbaskets.
"What? What's wrong?" Levy wondered. The Z-Fighters were beating the Androids, easily, but that should be fine. So, what had the time traveler concerned?
Jellal wondered the exact same thing. Sensing that something was wrong with the situation.
(cut to Bulma and Yajirobe holding baby Trunks in a plane, flying towards the ongoing battle between Android 20 and the others)
Laxus facepalmed at the sight of Bulma. "She has a baby with her. Why is she going to an active battlefield?"
YAJIROBE: There's a long list of bad ideas, and this one is at the top. You know that, right?
BULMA: I absolutely refuse to sit around and not be part of the action anymore. Do you know I never even saw Freeza? Not once?
"That's a good thing! I rather have never seen him at all!" Lucy whined.
YAJIROBE: I'm pretty sure no one ever complained about not meeting Hitler. I mean, some people do, but they're weird.
"Don't know who that is, but I agree completely!" Carla disagreed with Bulma's decision greatly.
BULMA: This isn't up for debate!
"It should be! For you being an irresponsible parent!" Wendy yelled.
YAJIROBE: You do know your kid is in the plane, right?
BULMA: Oh, he doesn't know what's going on.
"That doesn't excuse shit!" Levy retorted. She'd never put her child in harm's way, no matter how curious she got.
YAJIROBE: Yeah, I don't think that's the point! Also, he keeps trying to feed off me.
"That's weird. Babies are weird," Natsu stated, simply.
BULMA: Don't worry, he'll give it up when he realizes it's a dry well.
YAJIROBE: Yeah, about that... Have you ever seen what an all-Senzu Bean diet does to a man?
BULMA: What?
YAJIROBE: Korin likes it.
"None of us needed to hear that," Gray gagged.
(cut back to the battlefield where Android 20 charges at Piccolo only to get knocked into another plateau)
ANDROID 20: (emerges from the rubble) Okay, first: WHAT?! Second: THE F**K?!
"Been there a lot in life," Sting thought back to the GMG.
PICCOLO: You know, I did spend three years training with Goku.
ANDROID 20: Oh, so what? Are you a Super Saiyan now, too?
PICCOLO: Well... more of a Super Namekian, I guess.
"Goku really does bring the best out of others," Natsu grinned. Erza silently agreed, still pissed at the Saiyan idiot.
ANDROID 20: Wait, I thought you were a demon.
PICCOLO: Nope. Slug man.
ANDROID 20: Wow. That's... significantly more mundane.
"Totally less cool!" Natsu folded his arms with a pout.
PICCOLO: Ugh, I know! By the way, what's that brain case made out of?
ANDROID 20: Oh, well, it's a poly-carbonate, thermo-plastic, laminated- (Piccolo rushes forward and elbows him into the mountains below) AGHHH!
VEGETA: Anyone else feel like we over-trained for this?
"Better overtrained than dead, I always say!" Natsu puffs out his chest.
"When have you ever said that?" Gajeel questioned.
"Just now," Natsu gives a thumbs up to the Iron Dragon Slayer. Gajeel sighed at the idiot in front of him.
KRILLIN: Tell me about it.
VEGETA: No, shut up!
"Still upset at him, huh?" Evergreen smirked, slightly.
(Android 20 zooms up through the dust and charges at Piccolo with an outstretched hand in an attempt to absorb his energy again, which gets obscured by more dust)
GOHAN: MR. PICCOLOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooh, never mind. (Piccolo is seen grabbing Android 20's attacking hand in a firm grip)
"You can sit back and relax, Gohan. The Green man has it covered," Bickslow leaned back.
PICCOLO: You know, I never understood why you would even bother installing pain receptors. Kind of comes off as an intentional design flaw, if you ask me.
"That is a really good question. Some people are just dumb," Lector shrugged.
ANDROID 20: Don't you criticize my methods like you understand the neurosystem! Pain is imperative to recognize when you are in peril, to get the human mind con- (Piccolo severs his forearm) -TEEEEEEEXT!
"That was for Yamcha's chest!" Lisanna roared.
PICCOLO: So contextually speaking... (crushes and drops the android's arm) how f**ked are you?
"100% screwed," Gajeel chuckled.
ANDROID 20: You lime-colored son of a bitch! It's going to take me at least two hours to program a new hand! No, wait, I'm right handed... Three hours! You miserable reprobates! What have I ever done to you?
"Vaporized a city, almost killed Yamcha and Goku. You've done enough to warrant an ass-kicking," Gray rolled his eyes.
PICCOLO: Pretty sure you vaporized half a city.
ANDROID 20: I meant recently!
PICCOLO: That was an hour ago.
ANDROID 20: Semantics!
"Still recent!" Meredy points out.
(Trunks arrives on the scene)
TRUNKS: I'm sorry I'm late! The time machine's a little imprecise in terms of hours and- (looks at Android 20) What the hell is that thing?!
This caught everyone's attention. Why wouldn't Trunks recognize the android? Isn't he the one who killed everyone and brought the world to ruin?
"Unless…" Jellal sweats, nervously.
PICCOLO: Trunks, what are you doing here?
VEGETA: Ha! That's a girl's name.
"That's your son's name! You dolt!" Carla yelled.
KRILLIN: Wait, isn't that the name of your kid?
VEGETA: What, are you trying to imply that this wannabe Super Saiyan from the future is my soooooooooo…
"And the truth is now out. Doesn't matter, since the baby has already been born," Levy said.
(continues in the background)
TRUNKS: Well, guess that cat's out of the bag... But seriously, what is that?
"That's the android," Natsu answered.
PICCOLO: That's the android.
TRUNKS: No, it's not.
"What?"
PICCOLO: Yes, it is.
TRUNKS: No, it's not!
ANDROID 20: Yes, I am!
"See! He agrees!" Natsu pointed.
TRUNKS: You stay out of this!
TIEN: Wait, so you're saying that that's not the android that kills us?
TRUNKS: No, I don't even-
KRILLIN/Freed: But you said two androids, right?
"And they've been fighting two this whole time," Elfman said.
TIEN: And we've been fighting two.
TRUNKS: Yes, I said two, but that's not one of them!
"THEN WHO THE HELL HAVE THEY BEEN FIGHTING THIS WHOLE TIME!?"
VEGETA: Why didn't you tell us what they looked like, then?
TRUNKS: I only ever met the two!
VEGETA/Laxus: Well, look at that, so did we!
"Wait, what does this mean then?" Lucy asked, nervously.
"It means that Trunks and Bulma didn't understand how time travel works. They created a butterfly effect. Which means that we've still yet to meet the actual threats to the world," Jellal frowned after his explanation. The others look back nervously at this realization.
(Bulma arrives at the scene in her plane)
BULMA: Hey, guys!
"THE WORST TIMING, BULMA!"
VEGETA: And now the woman's here!
GOHAN: Bulma, NO!
TRUNKS: Did she bring me?!
ANDROID 20: (thinking) And there's my door... (launches a huge blast that engulfs most of the area, including damaging Bulma's plane, which causes everyone to scream)
"NO! BULMA! TRUNKS!"
"And Yajirobe," Wendy added, since nobody else did.
[ENDING SEQUENCE]
[STINGER]
PICCOLO: "Wind Scar"!
"Not that one," Wendy said.
NAIL: ("Spirit Gun"!)
"Sounds cool!" Lucy and Yukino smiled.
PICCOLO: "Bankai"!
"Sounds like it requires a sword," Kagura and Erza agreed on.
NAIL: ("Rasengan"!)
"Nice! But, doesn't fit Piccolo," Gray said.
PICCOLO: "Gum Gum Pistol"!
"Fire Dragon: Iron Fist!" Natsu shouted.
NAIL: (...That sounds dirty.)
"How?" Natsu tilted his head, confused.
