Human No More
Fuzzy images blur like dripping raindrops washing away the colorful memories of the past. Familiar faces, faces of friends, family, and dear, dear companions who have been loyal and loving for many, many years. But then it vanished, it just up and disappeared. Pain, anger, blood, and the screams, oh the horrible screams rage in Goku's mind. The Sayian's mind raped his soul with madness, voices shouting at Goku "Kill…… KILL THEM ALL".
Goku's eyes jolted to life as he sat up, a swift hand bashed his face in and sent it back down. Reality started to come back and awaken Goku from his land of nightmares. "I……what the?" Goku stuttered. The brave warrior remembered what happened, it was the androids, and something attacked him during their fight. Goku looked around shaking bits of rubble from his black hair, he found himself completely surrounded by the wicked androids.
Android 25 smirked above him; half of his human face had been melted off. Fresh steel and raw circuitry coursing through 25's bionic eye, staring down his foe with a cybernetic smile. "Awe did wittle Goku have a wittle nightmare? HA, HA" Android 25 mocked. Next to him was the small, psychic one, Android 23. Behind the mechanical midget was Android 26, fresh from his defeat over Goten. A crippled, mangled Android 28 appeared.
The androids however had surrounded someone else other then Goku, they surrounded the one android unknown to Goku. This new android had red devil hair just like 25, his black cape like coat flowed with raw power over his towering physique. The dark man's face was grinning a toothy smile, having an almost devil like face. The robot's outfit further consisted of a velvet green shirt like vest, just above slick dark blue colored pants.
Boots were blacker then coal, and the leather was thicker then any animal hide. The man smirked "So finally we meet……Goku, I must say waiting all these years has made me……quite anxious. Oh ho, it will be an extraordinary pleasure to CRUSH the heart of the greatest warrior in my bare hands" the man said. Goku coldly replied "And just who might you be?". A laugh escaped the android, "The leader of this army, Android 30.
Formerly bound to the weakling human name of Dr. Malcolm Wrath. But my humanity will plague my perfection no longer, now all that stands in my way is YOUR kind" Android 30 said. The valiant Sayian tried to speak against Android 30, but an angry Android 25 smacked him across the face again. "Bow down bitch" 25 growled, Android 30 shook his head "Now, now no need to get rough my dear student. Let's see what he has to say".
Android 25 nodded "As you wish master".
The master android turned towards Android 23 and the badly battered Android 28, who was still repairing his damaged circuitry.
Android 30 commanded "You two will get air born, and make sure none of his surviving Sayian friends interrupt us".
Android 28 weakly replied "It s-s-s-s-s-shall b-b-b-be d-d-d-done Mas-BZZT-er".
The two androids hovered into the sky and quickly surveyed the area, meanwhile Android 25 and 26 faithfully remained by their master's side. Carefully watching Goku as the exhausted Sayian rose to his wobbly feet. The Super Sayian 3 hair had long since vanished, making Goku a non-Super Sayian. For the time being anyway.
Goku hissed "So you're the monstrosity responsible for turning these poor children into abominations".
Android 30 smirked "Oh come now Goku don't be so cold, that's too Sayian of you. These children have willingly desired to become part of a better future, a mission, a purpose".
Goku angrily asked "And just what pray tell does this purpose involve?".
Android 30 replied "By now you're surely wondering why there is an Android 28 and 30 present, but no trace of Androids 27 or 29".
Goku raised an eyebrow "What's your point?".
Android 30 explained "My point is that they have already served their purpose. Androids 27 and 29 were dismantled, deconstructed, and reconstructed into my own body structure. Together they and I have become one supreme fighting machine, the perfect warrior and champion for all of humanity".
Goku screamed "LIAR, MONSTER, how dare you violate these children's bodies and turn them into these demons. You have no right to call yourself a defender of humanity. No, not after you carelessly attacked my friends and family, and left your own men to die without care or concern".
Android 30 scoffed "Don't lecture me about care primate. Android 22 and Android 24 were failures, flawed designs that deserved to be deconstructed. I gave them the chance to prove themselves by killing Vegeta and Mohan, but obviously those 2 rejects were more defective then I thought. Models like myself however are far above such petty errors I assure you.
Goku snapped "Your above nothing you wretched piece of bionic slime. Of all the species on Earth, humans are the only ones capable of lowering themselves to other creatures. A dog can be no more then a dog, and a bird can be no more then a bird. Yet you, you who have a soul and the intelligence to choose your own destiny, choose to selfishly use it cause harm to others".
Android grinned "Greatness requires sacrifice Goku, and it will all be worth it in the end once I purge this planet clean of you miserable alien freaks. Planet Earth will once again return to it's rightful owners, us, the androids, the future of evolution".
Goku spat at him "Your insane".
Android 30 boomed "Think about it! Were faster, smarter, stronger, more advanced then any other species existing, with the technological capabilities to reshape the world anyway we see fit. Once the android conversion commences humanity will be free of disease, hatred, violence, segregation, and weakness. The world shall become perfect, just as Dr. Gero had dreamed".
Goku scowled "Gero was a maniac, and it's clear to me your as twisted and hate filled as he was. We Sayians have paid for our sins with our own lives; all we wish to do now is live in peace. Earth is our home too and we have defended it on many times, not just for us but for humans as well. You've got to listen to me Wrath; we are not your enemy. Taking away people's free will is enslavement, having immortality is nothing without having identity".
Android 30 screamed "SHUT YOUR MOUTH".
Android 25 raised his razor knuckle claws to silence Goku, but the Sayian's body erected a red energy flame like shield around his body.
Goku shouted "Super Kaoken Attack".
The fiery Sayian bashed 25 in the gut with his leg, and then smashed his right arm across his face. The Kaoken attack was just the super charge Goku needed to surprise attack Android 30. But the bionic devil laughed at this, Android 30 raised one arm up and opened up a growing green compartment. Goku was blasted by a colossal burst of raw, super charged green energy. In seconds the Sayian dropped to the ground, screaming as his skin sizzled.
Goku screamed in maddening pain "AHHHH, oh god, god it hurts AHHH".
Android 30 sneered "How dare you insult my intelligence Goku. Did you forget that I still carry all of Dr. Gero's data, the data he had on you and your friends fighting skills? My soldiers and I know every trick, technique, and attack you've ever pulled off so don't bother trying any more half-assed heroics".
Goku moaned painfully "Ugh my skin……it feels like it's on fire, ARGH what the hell did you do to me?".
Android 30 Grinned "Bio-nuclear radiation, an upgraded version of Gero's energy supply system. But with an ingenious twist. Instead of siphoning energy from my opponent's bodies, my blasters tap directly into my eternal power source battery. Normally raw plutonium would kill a man in seconds, but seeing as how you're pure Sayian it seems to have only burnt you a little".
Goku grunted "I don't know much about nuclear radiology but I do know that if that energy ever become overloaded, you'd vaporized every living thing with in a 100 miles".
Android 30 laughed "Which makes killing me all the more harder for you to do, wouldn't you say".
Goku angrily sat there as his flesh continued to fry, thoughts running through his head every passing second. The Sayian knew he still had enough energy to become Super Sayian 4, but he wouldn't. No, Goku refused to ever unleash that power again. The memory was too strong in his mind.
Flashback
A broken Goku collapses to his bed, the Sayian was sobbing into the night, his eyes staring wearily into the sky. Goku was actually preying to god. Preying……for his soul.
Goku whispered "God, I don't really know if you're out there right at this moment but it's uh Goku. Guess you already knew that. I need to ask you (sob) I need to ask you to do me a favor……please, PLEASE make me human. I don't want to be a Sayian anymore……not now not ever again.
I n-n-never told anyone this before but……during my battle with Bebi, I transformed into a Super Sayian 4. At first I was just a wild beast but then Pan saved me, helped me change into my true form. But……as much as it looked like I was in control……I really wasn't, not mentally anyway.
As I battled Bebi in Vegeta's body, I was actually……enjoying myself. I was silently enjoying at the fight, enjoying every bruise and broken bone I gave him.
I……I……I actually wanted to kill him. A part of me knew this was wrong, knew how so horribly wrong this was but……another part of me……liked it. It was getting off at the thought of murdering Vegeta and Bebi, and I could barely control it. This power was turning me into a monster. Not a giant ape, not a killer but worse……a Sayian.
I need you to remove this from me, remove now before it's too late. I've caused so much harm, so much pain to my loved ones, and I can't stand it anymore. I know that sooner or later, another monster will come and try to destroy the world just like Bebi did.
And I also know……that when that happens, I'll more then likely need to transform into Super Sayian 4. But if I do that……there's a chance, a very good chance that……I'll lose control……forever".
End Flashback
A sudden voice jolted Goku back to reality, 2 voices, two familiar voices to be exact. Goku looked up and spotted 2 figures arriving in the distance.
Android 23 hummed "My powers detect 2 life forms arriving master. Scanners indicate a sizeable chunk of their DNA is human, but……the other half seems to be comprised of Sayian".
Android 28 sparked "W-w-w-w-what are ERR your ordBZZorders m-m-m-asssster?".
Android 30 almost drooled "let the moths come, I'll gladly be the first one to introduce them……to the FLAMES".
Goku hollered "NO, PAN TRUNKS GO BACK".
The young Sayian's looked down from the sky, spotting Goku among 5 other shadowy figures. Pan smiled cheerfully to Trunks, flying beside her.
Pan smiled "Trunks look, I can see grandpa down there. Hey grandpa".
Trunks nodded "That's great news, I bet that's Gohan and my father down there along with the others. Looks like the odds just got back in our favor".
Pan giggled "Yeah I can't wait to see the looks on those androids faces when we".
Android 30 shouted "FIRE".
KABOOM!
