Italics = Thoughts/Flashbacks/Telepathy etc.
West City
"D-daddy... he-help..." whimpered the exhausted Bra from under the rubble. Her eyes filled to the brim with a waterfall of tears, she didn't want to see West City. She didn't want to see her failure. All she heard was the massive explosions, and the corrosive laughter of Android 21.
"Hehehehe... what a good job I have done, wait until I report my success to Master. But still... I am quite exhausted. Perhaps I went a little overboard killing that little girl with Technique #G4.8." mused 21. The little light bulb in his head finally clicked, he dashed toward the ground and break-neck speeds; he landed before a little girl.
"Do-don't hurt me!!" she squeaked. Tears flowing from her eyes, Android 21 gently picked her up.
"Don't worry little one, I am not going to kill you, I'm just going to..." 21 then thrust his hand into her chest, and the Life Absorbing Device went to work, instantly the little girl fell as limp and weak as an elderly woman in his arm. He dropped her on the ground, and ascended into the air once more. "Perfect, fully energized yet again. Time to continue destruction!!" he laughed. He pushed his arm forward, and a powerful ray blasted the base of a skyscraper. The building came plummeting to Earth but right before into crashed into the ground, it stopped! 21 raised an eyebrow, "What on great Gaia is going on!" he announced in a puzzled tone. He hovered down to the base of the building and saw nothing but ash, smoke, bodies, and the miraculously floating building.
"CATCH!" burst a male voice. The building then reversed direction and landed smack dab on Android 21. "These silly robots, they have no common sense." Snapped Vegeta. "Now, where is Bra?" Vegeta briefly paused, when the building once again collapsed on his head. Android 21 stood stoutly again, brushing off the chalky drywall.
"That hurt you moron, that was a sucker punch! At least tell me you're here before a kill you!" he whined. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a golden light shimmer through the dusty windows of the building. When a powerful light golden light with a streaming tail shot out of the building into the skies above, Android 21 stood poised; ready for anything.
"You know, the last Android I killed saw this form before it died, I am afraid you'll be the same way!" announced Vegeta in his Super Saiya-jin state. In his hands was a wispy purple ball, glowing with an intense light. "GALICK GUN!!" screamed Vegeta as a prominent beam spurted toward Android 21 like a rushing tidal wave. In response, 21 developed a red energy disk in his hands, and placed it forward like a shield. The brilliant beam was bounced straight toward the ruins of Capsule Corp. Both Vegeta and Android 21 gaped in horror as the beam decimated the already shambled ruins. "BRA!!" screamed Vegeta. Master's Package!! I... I'll be deactivated for sure!! With amazing speed, Android 21 mimicked another of Goku's moves, "Instant Transmission". He appeared right in the beam's path, and hurled the energy disk. It merely dissipated this time, and the beam continued its path. Android 21 took the full force of the blow, and was finally hit with a good impact. He went spiraling into the ruins, and tumbled down right beside the mystery package.
"It... It...is safe..." 21 joyously announced. He collected the spilled out Black Orb, and put it back in the package. He tucked it under the ruins and flew straight toward Vegeta once again.
"You robot, such a fool. Now I have an advantage above you, I want you...to surrender to me now, or I'll blow Capsule Corp and whatever you saved to pieces!!" announced Vegeta with his newfound knowledge. Vegeta held a growing Big Bang in his hand, and he had his outstretched arm towards CC.
"Alr-alright!" muttered 21. Vegeta then smirked, and the Big Bang evaporated. Android 21 willingly floated toward Vegeta.
"Very good... very good," praised Vegeta. "Now tell me, is your Master Dr. Gero!" Android 21 lifted his head, and suddenly let out a powerful roar; and a wide red beam spewed from his mouth. Vegeta was washed away in the sudden attack, and no more was left where he stood.
"Not very good... not very good," mocked 21. "HAHAHA!!! A Super Saiya-jin! Killed that quick!" He began dancing in circles, and doing other random acts of celebration.
"ERAAH!!" yelled Vegeta as he charged toward 21. They were now locked in a fistfight, punching and blocking, punching and blocking, on and on and on. Bra... I need your help... if you can, come to me, I am right above CC. You'll know what to do!
Bra was in total shock, never before had her father placed such trust, and hope in her. With all her might, she pulled together and pushed through the rubble. She gazed high above and saw Vegeta and 21 fighting with great prowess. Blood was dripping from Vegeta's mouth, and 21 showing no sign of weakness. "Gotta help, daddy!" Bra told herself. She flew her fastest past Android 21, and was in square with his shoulders above him.
"You will die, 21!" shouted Vegeta.
"What gives you that idea, Vegeta?" he laughed.
When 21 finished his sentence, a blinding light blazed down from above 21. He shrieked in confusion.
"DADDY NOW!! FINAL FLASH!!" screamed Bra. In his accordance with Bra's wishes, he charged up his greatest attack, and thrust forward at Android 21.
"FINAL FLASH!" yelled Vegeta. The beam pierced the Android's core, and he fell to the ground, bursting into flames. Vegeta had finally begun to collapse, and Bra lifted him up. The both slowly hovered to the Android's resting place. The lifeless head just lie upon the ground, chanting a word over and over...
"SEIKU... PREVAIL...PACKAGE...SAVE..." chanted the head repeatedly. Vegeta slammed his heel into the creature's head, as it finally crumbled to nothing.
"Good riddance!" exclaimed Vegeta, as his hair became ebony once more. Bra hugged her father.
"Thank you, dad." She told him.
"No Bra, thank you. I am glad you are becoming such a fighter." Bra's cheeks became a crimson red. (Vegeta' showing affection! AHHH!!! APOCALYPSE IS AMONG IS!!)
"Aww... it was nothing!" said Bra, praising herself. The moment of affection suddenly changed to a moment of seriousness.
"Bra, are you the only survivor?" he asked his daughter.
"No, everyone at CC is still alive. They all fled to Gingertown." Vegeta nodded in acknowledgement.
"Come now, Bra. We will go tell them the good news." Vegeta then leapt into the air and headed north; towards Gingertown. Bra ran over to the Android, and picked up the pulsing Blue orb within the Android's head Hmm, this is weird. Gramps package also had an orb in it... but it was black. I'll take this to mom; she'll find it interesting. Bra grabbed the Blue orb, and put it in the Styrofoam package filled package, and took off after her father.
Gingertown
"C'mon dad!" called Bulma to her father who was lagging behind the huge line of CC workers. Finally in Gingertown, Bulma sighed a sigh of relief. The explosions had stopped, she felt that this walk was all for naught. But her moment of peace was brought to an abrupt halt.
"Mrs. Bulma! You'll want to take a look at this!" called the secretary. She led her through the crowd of people to the citizens of Ginger town. They were all on the ground... dead! But the city was untouched.
"Are they... dead?" Bulma inquired. The secretary went to an old man collapsed on the ground; she put her two fingers to his neck
"Well... they have pulse, so no... they aren't dead." She announced.
"You people... are next!" hissed a dark female voice...
I just love cliffhangers, do you? R/R people!
