Chapter Three: Peace becomes Trouble

Trunks and Gohan watched as Vegeta and Kao entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The steel door sealed itself shut.

"Let's hope they make some progress." Gohan said.

"Yeah. If these Mercenaries are as strong as Kao believes them to be, we need as much strength as we can get." Trunks added. Heading out of the Lookout tower, Trunks and Gohan ran into Goku, who was followed closely by his granddaughter Pan, who was the daughter of his Gohan.

"Hey Goku, Pan," Trunks greeted.

"What's up guys?" Goku asked. "Where's Kao? I was told he was up here. Pan wanted to talk to him."

"I'm afraid you're a little late." Gohan replied. "Kao just entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Vegeta."

"So he finally decided to give it a go hey?" Goku asked.

"Yeah." Trunks said. "He good, but stubborn. Let's hope Vegeta can bring out the best in him."

"Oh yeah, by the way, Chi-Chi and Videl are holding a picnic at West City National Park tomorrow, for Pan's sixteenth Birthday." Goku whispered to Gohan and Trunks.

"Oh really?" Trunks replied, quite softly.

"Hey, are you boys talking about me?" Pan grumbled.

"O-of course not," Goku giggled. "not at all Pan…"

Hyperbolic Time Chamber

"Concentrate Kao, concentrate everything!" Vegeta shouted.

"I'm trying…" Koa replied, struggling to control all his power onto himself.

"Try harder boy!"

"I AM!" Kao screamed, the yellow forcefield around him suddenly exploded five times bigger than what it was before.

"Now you've got it…" Vegeta thought, smiling. Kao's eyes flashed green for a brief second, and his hair rose… Kao wore himself out and collapsed to the ground, trying to catch his breath.

"You nearly had it." Vegeta said. "We will keep trying, but I think you need a rest." Kao got to his feet and slumped across to sit himself on a chair. Vegeta joined him.

"Vegeta?" Kao asked.

"What is it?" Vegeta asked.

"How… how did you become a Super Saiyan?"

"I trained, very hard. On the moon. I had reached my highest level, but I still could not become a Super Saiyan. I was so enraged that it triggered my transformation." Vegeta explained.

"Wow… I actually didn't think you tell me…" Kao said.

"Don't think this changes anything!" Vegeta said, returning to his old grumpy self. "Let's start training again!"

Night soon came, and the Z fighters retreated back home. Goku returned home the 349 East District, with his son Goten. Gohan went home to his family, with Videl. Trunks remained with Bulma at Capsule Corp.

At 349 East District, Goku, Goten and Chi-Chi were having dinner. Goku took down a whole bowl of rice, as did Goten.

"Honestly, you two are just alike." Chi-Chi sighed, getting them another serving. "Anyway, you guys gonna show up for the party tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Goku said, with a mouthful of chicken. "How could be miss Pan's sixteenth?"

"Yeah mom," Goten muffled. "We'll be there,"

"Good, because I don't want you going off to fight again," Chi-Chi warned.

"Aw Chi-Chi…" Goku sighed. "we have to!"

"No buts Goku! You will be there!" she screamed.

"Yes… dear…" Goku sighed.

Hyperbolic Time Chamber

"Final Flash!"

"Kamehameha!" the two energy beams collided, and exploded.

"Keep fighting boy!" Vegeta screamed. "Reach your highest limit!"

"I HAVE!" Kao replied. His weak Kamehameha Wave wore down and he collapsed.

"You're not trying hard enough boy! Give it all you've got!" Vegeta said, walking toward Kao.

"I CAN'T DO IT!" Kao screamed, the same golden aura exploding around him. "I CAN'T!"

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard,
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these scars,
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real,
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got,

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored!
Time won't take this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored!

I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Coz you don't understand I do what I can
Sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
You face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got, got, got….

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored!
Time won't take this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored!

NOOOOO! Hear me out now!
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now! Hear me out now,
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right NOW!

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be IGNORED!

In an instant, blue electricity breaking around him, Kao's black hair transformed into the golden colour of a Super Saiyan, and his eyes went instantly from brown to green.

"He's done it!" Vegeta grinned, holding his ground. Kao soon calmed himself down and began to pant again. He looked at his new image.

"I-I've done it…" he frown turning into a bright smile.

"The kid's done it!" Vegeta thought. "All he needs to do now is master the strength. This shouldn't take long…"

"Vegeta, I've done it!" Kao grinned. "I'm a Super Saiyan!"

"All you need now is to master this ability. A little longer of training should do." Vegeta replied.

"Hey Krillin, isn't it time to get to the Park?" Tien asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah! Pan's birthday!" Krillin said, realising what Tien was talking about.

"You got the present Eighteen?" Eighteen came into the room with their daughter Maron carrying the wrapped present.

"Right here," Eighteen replied.

"Great!" Krillin grinned. "Let's get there before Chi-Chi shouts at us…"

West City National Park

"Hey Chi-Chi!" Krillin said, appearing through the Park's entrance, with Eighteen, Maron, Tien and Yamcha.

"Hey guys!" Chi-Chi waved.

"Where's everyone else?" Eighteen asked.

"Goku and Goten and Trunks should be here at any moment, and Gohan is bringing Pan. I don't know about Vegeta and Kao…"

"Oh Vegeta better be here," Bulma said. "or he'll be in big trouble!"

"Hey guys, we're here!" Goku shouted, as he landed with Goten and Trunks.

"Here's Goku!" Chi-Chi grinned. As soon as Goku, Goten and Trunks had joined to group, they all hid behind something ,waiting to surprise Pan. And soon enough, Gohan and Pan came over the hill, and stood in the middle of the picnic area.

"What's going on dad?" Pan asked.

"SURPRISE!" everyone shouted, appearing from their hiding places. Pan was shocked at the surprise that appeared in front of her.

"Happy birthday Pan!" everyone said. Once everyone had given Pan birthday hugs and kisses, they sat down to have lunch.

"Where is Vegeta?" Bulma asked. "Oh that man is going to get into so much trouble…"

"I'm sure he'll turn up soon." Chi-Chi said.

"He'd better…" Bulma scowled.

Kami's Lookout

Vegeta and Kao emerged from the doors of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, their Saiyan armour now broken and frayed. Piccolo greeted them.

"About time…" he growled.

"We're in no hurry." Vegeta replied.

"I think you will be." Piccolo said. "you're both late for Pan's birthday party."

"Ah damn it, I forgot!" Vegeta growled. "Bulma's gonna have a yell at me…" after Vegeta had changed into a new pair of clothes, he gave Kao new ones too. Kao placed them on himself.

"Cool." he smiled. He was wearing a blue shirt and pants, with an orange under t-shirt underneath (Vegetto's clothing, except for the gloves).

As soon as they were ready, Kao and Vegeta hurried off to the West City National Park.

West City National Park

"You, know, I don't know what's wrong with that man," Bulma said, referring to Vegeta. "oh, finally, he's here." Vegeta and Kao landed in the park minutes later.

"Hey Vegeta, Kao!" Trunks yelled. "You're back!"

"Yeah, we just got out," Kao answered.

"Nice new clothes." Krillin grinned. "Looks good."

"Thanks…" Kao said. "hey… Happy Birthday Pan,"

"Thanks," she said, and gave Kao a big hug. Kao was surprised by the action, but gave one back in return. Hours past as everyone played games, had fun, and just talked. Everything was going great until a giant explosion emitted smoke behind a hill.

"What was that?" Gohan asked.

"I don't know…" Goku replied. The group raced to the scene and saw four new beings standing around the smoke.

"Is that… the Mercenaries?" Goten asked. Kao looked closely.

"No, that isn't them!" he said. "But then… who are they?"

"What are they?" Vegeta asked, joining them all.

"Goku, what's going on?" Chi-Chi asked.

"I don't know…" one of the mysterious characters looked up to see Goku standing atop the hill.

"Are you the one they call Goku?" he asked. He was a tall man, with a red shirt on ad black pants.

"Who are you?" Goku asked, and began to walk down.

"I'm surprised you don't know…" the man growled. "we are the Androids."

"What!" Vegeta scowled. "Androids!"

"I don't know #22," another Android said. "he doesn't look like Goku."

"I assure you #23, he is." #22 said.

"How come history has changed?" Kao asked himself. "What is going on? No Androids appeared in my time…"

"Goku!" Trunks shouted. "I'm not letting you fight by yourself!" Trunks landed beside Goku, and readied himself.

"Me too father!" Goten shouted, joining in.

"#22, they're all asking to fight…" the female Android said.

"Do not fear, #24, they will be no match." #22 said. Eighteen grinned. She followed Goten in and stood beside the three Saiyans.

"I thought I had gotten rid of you all…" she said. "I guess the past has come to haunt me."

"We've defeated you toys before, we can do it again." Vegeta smirked, his power level accelerating into Super Saiyan mode. Goku, Trunks, and Goten did the same.

"Gohan," Goku said firmly. "Take Pan, Bulma, Videl and your mother somewhere safe."

"Alright dad." Gohan took the four woman away, where they would safe from harm.

"You think you can beat us?" Goten asked. "Think again."

Kao stepped back.

"What should I do?" he asked himself. "I don't know what to do…"

"Should we take them?" #25 asked.

"Yes #25. We were designed to kill Goku weren't we? While we're at it, we can kill his friends too." #22 grinned.

"Let's go." Goku, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, Eighteen, Tien, Yamcha and Krillin attacked all at once on the four Androids. Kao watched as his friends fought the mysterious warriors.

"Androids?" he thought. "What is going on?" he looked on as the Z Fighters tried their best to fight their way through the Android's defence, but failed. #22 had booted Goku into a tree, causing it to collapse, and Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin were already out cold.

"Could I have changed time?" Kao asked. "Was my arrival that changed history so much?"

Just as Kao was playing with his thoughts, he snapped back into reality. Goten, Goku and Vegeta had also all been knocked out, but Trunks remained. He was ganged up.

"Trunks!" Kao shouted. Android #24 slammed a fist into Trunks' stomach and threw him into a barbecue table. Then, Android #25 charged an energy beam and fired it toward the young Super Saiyan.

"Trunks! NO!" Kao shouted.
