-Krillin-

Krillin brought the exhausted Goku to his room and placed him in bed. The long-time friend was breathing heavy and with great labor, but was not in any pain. "Think of this as a different form of training Goku. I know you will get through this." Goku just smiled over to his friend as he spoke. He just placed his hand to Krillin's shoulder to relax him. "Right, just rest. I will inform Bulma that your home." Goku nodded to his friend and closed his eyes to focus on getting healthy. Krillin left the room and headed to the lab to catch up on what everyone was up to.

Cut off by Bulma's mother who carried a toddler Trunks. "Kwillin." Trunks said as he pointed to the fighter. "That's right, that's Krillin." Panchy said cheerfully. "Looks like you got Goku home in a hurry."

"Yeah, Goku might not be the best for Trunks to visit right now. He is pretty ill and we don't know if he will be able to spread it." Krillin warned, remembering that the mystery girl had commented on him being a patient zero for a pandemic that would lead to his cure.

"Oh my, well we will have to visit daddy when he is better then." Panchy said before tickling Trunks. "Just means grammy has her little sweetie for herself a little longer." Trunk giggling as he wiggled in her grasp, a lavender tail wrapped around her hand and attempted to repel her hand as he was stuck in a giggle fit.

Krillin allowed this to allow him around. "Man… Goku is lucky to have such a good family." Krillin spoke softly to himself as he was reminded by the fact that he was still alone. He didn't focus on that though, there was to many other problems that needed fixing.

-Gohan-

The young hybrid had begun to head home, but suddenly stopped. Instead he placed himself in the middle of nowhere. He remembered a time with Piccolo, when they prepared to face the Saiyans. The first major battle they would face, Raditz was his first major opponent before that. It was so long ago for his young life. But now, he risked everything and put everyone in danger. He could tell his action had caused confusion in his allies. He looked at his hands, unsure of his reason for joining. "Am… I even cut out to be a fighter… like my dad. Like mister Piccolo?" He closed his hands into fists. "I… I never felt so angry. I know I hated uncle Raditz when he killed my dad. But… the idea of losing Piccolo, and then being told that I couldn't help. Am I really that useless?" He questioned himself. "I hate it… I hate all of this." He continued as tears welled up in his eyes. He would yell out as he pushed for super saiyan once more, but could not release the state again.

-Tarble and the others-

The mountains range around North city was great, and with Gero not having any Ki to sense it was purely a search. The growing annoyance of everyone there was beginning to become very aware to Tarble. Piccolo suddenly took off as he seemed to have enough trying to search. "Damn it, I am done looking. I will smoke them out." Vegeta suddenly yelled out as he held his hands out to the mountains. Tarble could feel him summon up his ki, and flew in front of his palm. "Move Tarble."

"Are you insane? We are trying to protect the earth and Goku." Tarble said as his eyes matched with Vegeta's. "Do not make me have to remind you."

"Oh, you wish to test me?" Vegeta said grinning.

"Boys, this is not the time." Yurin yelled at the two brothers as they refused to break their gaze.

The small hint of someone yelling came to their ears. The attention snapped toward a man chasing after a semi as it drove off. Was it a random theft? Ashe knew of their androids' tendency to make little games. She did not wait; she flew down and next to the semi door. Looking in she saw the black and blond hair of the twin death dealers of her time. 18 looked over with her eyes showing a bit of surprise. Ashe's face turned to fury as she turned super saiyan instantly. "Die!" She screamed out as she fired a blast into the semi's cabin, causing a massive explosion. The trailer flipping suddenly as the two androids were forced to roll on the ground, 16 instead broke out of the trailer as it flew toward the two of them, only for it to be blown away by the twins.

"After we waited so long for that semi." 17 said sounding a little annoyed.

"And she ruined my jacket… I liked this jacket." 18 said as she removed her denim jacket by tearing it off. "We are getting cloths after we deal with her."

"Come at me. I will show you I am no one to mess with." Ashe placed her hands together and a ball of energy formed. It appeared unstable and small as it shook between her palms wildly. "Rave Girl Crash!" As she thrust her palm forward, the small ball of energy zipped insanely fast. It already at their feet, when they were aware of the attack.

17 leaps back as 16 covered him, 18 though leapt forward and allowed the sudden explosion carry her forward. The road crumbling as the explosion was massive for the small area. 16 seemed fine though as he stood and 17 was amazed to see that his new friend was so durable. 18 though already appeared in front of Ashe, her hand clasped around the hybrid's face. Her eyes widen as her body was taken to the ground and slammed to the asphalt in an instant, only to then be dragged across the ground and lift against the rocky mountain wall. Cold eyes looked into Ashe's as her face was let go before a fist hit into her stomach.

"Back off, Blondie!" Chichi yelled, a strong kick went to 18's head. But instead she was evaded by 18 ducking under, a return kick aimed for Chichi's head. Chichi shifted her center of gravity and instead barely evaded. The two now close to each other, chichi attempted to break away but 18 followed.

"I prefer staying close." 18 mocked as she snapped a blow into Chichi's face, making the human woman's retreat ineffective as defense was broken already from the one hit. The blonde androids then appeared once more over head and smashed her to the ground. Her foot then planted firming on Chichi's chest, her hand raised to catch the hand of Ashe as she tried to chop down at the android. "You two plan on helping."

"Last time I got involved in one your fights, I was yelled at for a week. Looks like you got it. You want to join in big guy." 17 said as he teased his sister.

"No." 16 said curtly.

"Fine, can you at least make sure no one else gets involved." 18 said as she lifted her foot and kicked chichi in the side hard enough to roll her a few times. Ashe attempted to punch at the 18, only for her to suddenly be pulled in and elbowed in the face. "You I am going to beat tell I either get my jacket back, or feel you paid enough for it." Ashe was swung in front of 18 and soon met into a combo of several attacks starting.

Vegeta and the others headed forward, but 17 appeared before them. "You heard the lady. No one else joins in." The black-haired boy said with a small grind. "But if you really want to play, then try on make it by me."

Vegeta powered up to a super saiyan, Tarble joining him. "Vegeta, I will rush him. You get to your family." Tarble said as he flew forward, only for 17 to suddenly knee him the face before he could catch him. Vegeta rushed behind Tarble, 17 grabbing the brother's wrist and sent him into the older brother and crashing to the wall.

"I am not sure what this golden-haired thing is, but you are barely any fun to play with." 17 mocked once more. "Let us see if your at least durable." He commented to lift his hand, but found it would not lift. His gaze turned and Chiaotzu with a red aura around him.

"Tien, Now!" Chiaotzu yelled out.

"Kaioken Times five! Dodon-pa!" Tien was surrounded by a red aura, a large surge of ki in his finger pointed to the boy. Firing it down and the blast slammed into 17's body, and sent to the ground hard.

"Kikoka, Ho Hi Hop!" Yurin yelled out as a sigil appeared over the boy. 17 looking up in confusion as he watched a pillar of ice made overhead. He lifted his other hand and fired a blast up and making the pillar shatter. "Ice wind trap!" She smiled as the pillar broke easy as a white mist flowed outward. 17 caught as it fell over him, 18 and other others broke away from their fight to stay away from the strange mist. Everything it touched froze and was covered in slick ice. 17 when seen was encased in a thick encasement of ice himself.

"17!" the blonde called out, unsure if they could survive something like that. Her gaze shifted to the other woman who seemed to call out the attack. "If only you were not on the opponent side, I would think a bunch of women fighters was awesome. But instead I have to make you pay."

The encasement then cracked, and then shattered as 17 stood. He looked up as if unaffected by the cold. "That is one cold shoulder. That was cool, but I fear that that is the best you got."

"You idiot, getting caught in something like that." 18 said as she hid the fact she was glad he was not trapped in ice. 16 soon stood behind her.

"We are wasting time here; we should progress to find Son Goku. He had a 81% chance at being Capsule Corp." 16 spoke, surprising the two as he spoke more than ever.

"You heard the man, he is bored. No reason to kill them though. Lets just beat them tell they cannot move." 17 said, 18 sighed as she nodded. "No more holding back." The two said together, our heroes left surprised as they attempted to fight the androids. Three super saiyans, two humans with kaioken, and one witch with magic were no match for the two of them. Each attempt to gain the advantage, only lead to be overpowered and the group instead left laid on the ground as broken warriors.

Raditz and Nappa showed after the fight had already finished. Nappa had planned to follow after them, but Raditz stops him. "It is insane to fight them, especially if you cannot go super saiyan. But even three of them were no match. Instead, help me get sensu beans to everyone." Raditz argued, pulling the bag from Tarble's body and with Nappa's help they were able to get everyone back up.

Ashe was visibly upset as she was no chance, and was so easily overpowered. Vegeta not any happier, as he had gotten super saiyan and it proved it to be too weak. "This is not supposed to be. The super saiyan is the greatest being, and it has been surpassed." Vegeta spoke out loud to himself.

"It is like they transcend super saiyan." Tarble said, more amazed by their power then anything. "After so much training they surpass us completely."

"This cannot be it; we have to beat them… there has to be a way." Chichi said, before turning to Vegeta. "Come on, you're not going to let this beat you." Vegeta's eyes turned to his human mate. "So super saiyan isn't good enough, then maybe there is something higher then Super Saiyan."

Vegeta's eyes opened wide. "A higher form… then super saiyan." A realization as he smiled. "I sometimes forget how brilliant you are. Of course, if a super saiyan isn't enough then become something more then super saiyan. An ascended super saiyan!"

"Do you have an idea of how to do that?" Ashe said, interested herself in the idea as well.

"I will be come this ascended super saiyan in no time." Vegeta said laughing as he seemed stuck in his own mind and ignoring Ashe.

"I am going to head to Goku's. With any luck, I will get there before the androids kill him." Tarble said, not worrying about becoming more then a Super Saiyan. It was pointless as they didn't have any more time to train.

"I will head back to the Lookout, not good for a Goddess to stay out of heaven long." Yurin said before kissing Tarble on the cheek. "Don't go dying on me and Garic." Tarble nodded as the two rushed away, Tarble calling a head to Bulma to warn that they seemed on their way. Unaware that the androids have decided to steal a car.

"We will go to Yamcha, and ask him to join us anyway. We may need his help in some way. If he does not join us, we will meet at Roshi's." Tien said knowing it would be the best place to try and defend Goku if they needed to.

Raditz followed after Tarble to try to give him some extra power if it can be any help against the androids. Chichi order's Nappa to follow her to get back to Pleasant valley, as her children most likely will need attention once more, Ashe and Vegeta instead stayed as Vegeta attempted to figure out how to become Ascended. With the warning, Bulma askes her father to take Goku to Roshi's. She askes Krillin to stay only to act as if Goku was still there for a short time, hoping it would give them more time for Goku to get better. She attempts to reach out to Gohan who does not answer his scouter.

-Gero's lab-

Underneath the lab, hidden away from even his creations, a super computer was busy at work gathering information on the fighters. Clicks and beeps, as screens appeared. Bits of blood and samples of continue working on the perfect being. A small larva creature held inside a tube and given slightly movement.

16, 17, 18 have become active… and android 20 has become obsolete. the computer screen appeared to type as it thought. A pause to its texts. Gathering of samples complete, growth process of Biomechanical project designated 'Cell' still had gestation. The super computer began to calculate. Unforeseen growth of entities known as Goku, Vegeta, Raditz, Tarble, and Gohan. Other's growth abnormal as well, but within parameters of extreme growth patterns. A whirring of power as the super computer began turning on labs located in other areas. Activating secondary laboratories, Beginning analyzing of new patterns. Identify missing timeline. Gain access to active android's sensory. Visual screens appeared. Androids 8, 16, 17, and 18's sight displayed before the super computer. Any information found by active agents, will be searched by labs 7 through 15. Auto Update active, load found information to Network for access to all other super computers.

The quiet underground lab grew more silent as the underground lab gathered information, unhindered as of yet by the fighters.

And so, we have Goku needing bed rest… but will he have to fight even as he recovers? Gohan is out in the wilds by himself with a crisis of his own, the young boy having to find answers for himself. The group barely found the androids and then found that they were no match to the two androids, 16 still not having shown his power. Piccolo had left before hand for unknown reasons, and the others now seeking a new way to access more power to beat the androids. Will they find a way? And what is Gero's Super computer up too? Let us see what we find, in the next chapter!
