Ichidou and Gohan flew back towards where the others were. The two of them landed, and walked over to the others. No one felt much like celebrating. Still, they were much, much happier after the battle than they had been before. The atmosphere was one of relief, mixed with sadness.

"Alright…" Piccolo said. "Goku gathered the dragonballs shortly after Dende finished the new dragon. They're waiting up there for us to wish the poor people that Cell killed back. I say we relax for little while before calling on Shenron." They all agreed.

"Hey, it's android Eighteen…" Krillen said.

"Kill her; we don't want her to cause any more problems…" Vegeta said.

"I don't think she's evil…" Krillen said. "She beat you up, true, but she didn't kill anybody."

"Help her up." Ichidou said. "She's still alive."

"Are you insane, boy!" Vegeta shouted. "Do you remember what happened in your time?" Most of them agreed with Vegeta.

"How many of you were good people, when you first met dad?" Ichidou asked. "Yamcha was a thief." He said. "Krillen was mean to him when they were kids." He turned to Tien. "Tien and Chaoutzu were assassins." He looked at Piccolo. "Piccolo was a demon." He looked at Vegeta. "You were a slayer of millions." He looked down at Eighteen. "Dad fought a lot of enemies, but he rarely killed them. Do you know why?" He looked at everyone. "Because dad believed that there was good in all people. He only killed when he felt that his foe was beyond all redemption."

"Are you going to give the same speech to the androids in your time?" Vegeta asked.

"The androids in my time are cruel murderers. This android Eighteen…" He pointed to her. "…Has killed no one."

"He's right…" Yamcha said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Fine." Vegeta said. "But if she causes any problems I will kill her myself." He looked at Krillen. "And I will kill you as well."

"I understand, Vegeta, but I know she won't." Krillen gently lifted the android off the ground. Everyone else took off.

"You like her, don't you?" Ichidou asked.

"You could tell, huh?' Krillen asked.

"Yes." Ichidou said. He started off. "Oh, and by the way, is she a good kisser?" He asked. Krillen guessed that he knew all along.

They all landed at the lookout a few hours later. Bulma had awakened the sleeping Eighteen, and she generously allowed the android to shower, so Eighteen was no longer covered in Cell's fluids. They all gathered around as they summoned Shenron.

"Shenron…" Dende said. "…Resurrect every person that was killed within the past month."

"Your wish is granted." He said. "I cannot resurrect Son Goku, I have already brought him back. I will bring everyone else back that was killed." He said.

"Well, what do we do with the other wish?" Gohan asked. "I know, we could wish for Ichidou to get his real arm back!" He said.

"Nah, the gadgets that my fake one has are too useful right now. I'll get it back another way."

"Everyone…" Krillen asked. "I would like to wish that the androids become human."

"We've got nothing else to wish for, so go ahead." Piccolo shrugged.

"Is android Seventeen even alive?" Yamcha asked.

"Well, Dende did bring back everyone who was killed, so that must have brought him back." Gohan said.

"Shenron, make android's Sixteen, Seventeen, and Eighteen into humans." Krillen said.

"I cannot do this. The androids are more powerful than me. I cannot change them." Shenron said.

"Then, can you remove the self destruct bombs from them?" Krillen asked.

"That is a simple task." And with that, Shenron left.

"Why would you want to try and make them all human?" Yamcha asked.

"I'm sure Eighteen would like to be with Seventeeen…"

"You moron!" Eighteen yelled. "Seventeen is my brother!" She said. She turned around, and was about to take off. "See you later!" She said.

"Her…brother?" Krillen asked. "WAHOOO!" he jumped into the air. "I guess that means I've got a shot with her!"

Ichidou stayed with Bulma for two whole months. She repaired his arm, and he relaxed and prepared for his journey. Two months after the destruction of Cell, everyone gathered at Capsule Corp to see him off.

It saddened him to know that, for some reason, he wasn't supposed to save his father. He didn't like the idea of going back to his dead, nearly lifeless home. But his mother would worry, and Trunks needed to be trained…

"Well, everyone, I'm off!" Ichidou said. Everyone said their goodbyes.

"Well, Gohan…" Krillen said. "I'm glad I met you." Ichidou shook his hand.

"Gohan." Piccolo said. "Here…" He threw him a small box of capsules.

"Capsules?" Ichidou asked. "Why did you give me capsules?"

"They contained a few things that I'm sure you'd like to have." Piccolo said. "Bulma put it all in capsule form."

"I'm sorry to see you go…" Gohan said.

"Don't worry, I'll come back to visit sometime." Ichidou said. He smiled down at his miniature self.

Everyone said their goodbyes to Ichidou. He eventually got to climb into the time machine. He took his time leaving, because he was using a time machine, after all.

As Ichidou took off into the sky, they waved at him, watching as he left. Everyone was sad to see him go, but they all knew he was going to make his world a better place. Ichidou watched the world he visited fade into the world he knew. Ichidou stayed behind, only Gohan went forward. He left that identity with those he left in the other timeline. Gohan was going to destroy the androids, and he was going to save the world he knew.

He landed near Capsule Corp. The building was ruined. He knew that Bulma was waiting down under the earth. He hopped out of the time machine, and landed on the ground. He walked towards the door. The city around them was in ruins. That was going to change, Gohan thought. He knocked on the door.

"Gohan?" Bulma said, opening the door. "You're back! Trunks, Gohan's back!" She shouted.

"Gohan!" A voice came out from behind Bulma. Trunks ran forward, and hugged his teacher. "Did you save the world?" He asked.

"I did it there, and soon, I'm going to do it here." Gohan said.

"Your hair!" Bulma suddenly shouted. "How long did you stay there?"

"I'll explain everything." Gohan answered.

Four hours later, Gohan finally finished his tale with the death of Cell. Trunks had gone to bed two hours into the story, but only after he got Gohan to promise that he would tell him everything once he got up in the morning.

"So…" Bulma said. "Goku wound up dying anyway…" She said.

"Yeah." Gohan said.

"But you somehow went beyond super saiyan."
"Yup." Gohan said.

"I bet Vegeta was really ticked." She said.

"I'm certain of it." Gohan said.

"So…you're going out tomorrow morning to kill the androids?" Bulma asked.

"Yes…" Gohan said.

"Okay, I suppose I ought to let you get some sleep. Can I assume you're staying here, tonight?" Bulma asked.

"Yes, I would like to. I really don't like the idea of explaining everything to mom until I fix things." Gohan got up to go to one of her guest rooms.

"Good night, Gohan." She said.

"Oh, I nearly forgot." Gohan turned around. "Bulma?"

"What is it?"

"Is it at all possible that you could build a space ship?"

"Why?" She asked.

"Dad gave me the coordinates of New Namek." He said. "I was thinking that maybe we could go get ourselves a new Kami."

Bulma's eyes lit up. "That's an excellent idea, Gohan. I'll think on that one in the morning!" He went into the guest room. Bulma left, and went to her bedroom. Gohan knew that she'd be up half the night coming up for ideas for a spaceship. She could live off of technology.

Once Gohan knew that Bulma was off to her room, he quietly opened up the capsule box that Piccolo threw to him. There was two pieces of paper inside the box. One of them had 'read this first' in big red letters. Gohan, naturally, read that first.

It said

Ichidou, we want you to know that we will miss you, and that we are glad you came to help us. We understand that you may miss us, and that you wish you could bring your versions of us to life. Since you can't bring them back to life, we decided to help make your home a little bit better. Inside each of these capsules are a few things from each of us. One of the capsules is filled with photographs we took of everybody. We even talked Vegeta into letting his picture get taken. Some of us wrote a little note to you, some of us just added a few things you might like. We want you to come visit us sometime in the future. We are forever your friends.

Ichidou smiled, and took the capsules outside to find out what everybody gave him.

The first capsule he opened was from Krillen. Inside, he found a few mementos from his childhood with Goku, and a letter. The letter just thanked Ichidou for his help, and told him that he was going to go after Eighteen as soon as it was reasonable to do so. That made gohan smile.

The second capsule he opened was from Bulma. She had put detailed plans for a number of devices that she had designed, as well as a few spare parts that she felt that Gohan wouldn't be able to access. This included schematics and parts for spaceships, gravity rooms, and countless other devices.

Tien, Yamcha, and Chaoutzu had piled all of there stuff into one capsule. It contained the records from the budokai tournaments that his father had participated in. Gohan now knew who his father had fought against in all the tournaments. It also contained a whole slew of photographs that had been taken at the tournaments as well.

Gohan next checked out the capsule he received from Piccolo. Piccolo had created dozens of copies of his gi, with the capes to match. He also created several copies of Goku's gi as well, both with the turtle's symbol and Piccolo's. Gohan knew that Piccolo must have worked on the gis for days.

Gohan then decided to open the capsule from Vegeta. Inside was a note that explained that a few of the items were to be given to Trunks and a few of them were to be given to Bulma. Gohan was given a few suits of saiyan armor, as well as designs for more. Vegeta also included a detailed history of the saiyan people that was to be given to Trunks, although the prince allowed Gohan permission to read it if he had an interest. Vegeta said that he had been writing everything down from memory in anticipation that future generations would need it. There was also a locked box, the key included, with a severe warning that Vegeta would come through time and space if Gohan ever looked inside it. Gohan knew it was from Bulma.

Then, lastly, Gohan opened the capsule that came from Gohan. There wasn't much inside. A few old school books, as well as a few old mementos, was all there was.

There was one item, however, that Gohan didn't see at first. It was a decent sized book. He looked at it, and then opened it up. Inside were written accounts of all of his father and friends' adventures since childhood. From the day Goku met Bulma, all the way up to the defeat of Frieza. Each event was detailed from the memories of the Z fighters.

Another capsule just said, 'Sixteen'. Gohan opened up the capsule. To his surprise, the capsule contained the android himself! The note said that he had been reprogrammed a little. It also told him not to open it and reactivate him until the androids had been defeated.

Gohan left the last capsule for another day. He climbed into bed, and went to sleep. His last thought was a little plan on how he was going to take out the androids.
