White Light?
That was the first thing Dr. Gero saw. It was dim at first but by the time he fully even realized it was there, it was burning. It grew more intense by the minute, sweeping him off his senses, out of his mind. It grew stronger and stronger, but no matter what he did he couldn't get out of its blinding, white grasp.
The light drew its long rays out over him; it enveloped him in a prison of radiance. He squirmed, he screamed, he did everything. He used every last bit of energy he had, and finally it began to work. The glow was still there, but it was not as strong. Lines were beginning to take shape. He saw the face of a young woman, quite pale, quite stern, almost as if a half- human. Not nearly what she used to be. But as he began to see her more, her expression changed. It was an evil cackle. A cackle so heartless, so ruthless, it sank into his heart and tugged at its soul. He did not want to be affiliated with this pale woman.
Darkness again.
At first Android 20 thought it was just darkness, but he realized it was not lack of light, it was black. A color. It was all around him, dotted with little rays of light. Tiny speckles shining like their own little universes. But suddenly it was no longer so dark. Something was emerging. He couldn't quite make it out, but it seemed to have an orangey hew to it. It had the energy of pure evil, probably as bad, if not worse, as the pale woman.
Suddenly, this creature who must've caused so much anguish and screaming himself, so horrible that it made the pit of Gero's stomach seem to be pulled out of him, appeared to be in terror itself. It was getting weaker and weaker. And for some reason Gero was getting stronger and stronger. It was all coming into focus. Vocabulary, thoughts.
Understanding.
This vision of his faded away and light was returning. It was adding up in his mind, the dots were connecting. He almost had it.
Then everything dawned on him. On who this girl might be, on what his vision meant, on he was remembering his defeat by the Z fighters and that Bitch Bulma, who had messed with his almost perfect designs.
But why was he remembering this now? What was causing this?, Gero looked around he wasn't in HFIL anymore he was in his lab? And in a new body, this one was shorter and more fatter looking more like master Roshi, Gero wore his signature orange pants and boots, he had a black bulletproof vest on with the red ribbon logo on the back, and he wore a red ribbon trucker cap, the same type of cap worn by one of previous creations android 13. Gero looked down at his hands, his new body had the energy absorption devices in the palms of his hands. Gero then looked at the picture of Goku.
" Fucking waste of time trying to kill him" Gero sighed " My life was a waste"
Gero turned to see his android's blueprints " Perhaps i need to focus more on my androids " he said, " Well time to get to work, i have much to rebuild."
