Power of the Heart

Chapter 3

Everyone shared at the crater that was Android 19's resting place. They all turned to the mocking laughter coming from the sky.

"Vegeta", Goku said happily. Vegeta slowly descended to the ground.

"That was pitiful. I didn't even need to power up to destroy that oversized tin can."

"Thank you for saving me, Vegeta", Krillin said. Vegeta turned his nose up him.

"I didn't destroy him to safe your worthless life cue ball, I wanted to test out my newfound power."

"Vegeta you and everyone else here will die a very painful death for what you did to Number 19. Destroy them now 16 and 17!" Once those words left Dr. Gero's mouth, Android 16 charged at Goku. Piccolo jumped in his path and was rewarded with Android 16's right shoulder ramming into his ribcage sending him flying into a nearly mountain. Goku turned his attention from where Piccolo landed to receive Number 16's fist slamming into his face. Goku stopped himself in midair and wiped the blood from his lip.

"Wow, this guy is really strong and I'm so excited. We are going to have a tough time with this one." He saw Krillin, Yamacha, and Tenshin attacked Dr. Gero as Gohan helped Piccolo up.

Meanwhile Vegeta charged at Number 17. 17 met him halfway then the two powerhouses started to trade blows with each other. 17 slowly started to push Vegeta back and he was applying more power to his hits. A punch broke through Vegeta's defenses and sent him flying. He stood up then his vision became red. Vegeta wiped the blood out of his eyes.

-Shit, these overgrown children toys are stronger than they look. - He glanced over at Kakarotto and saw that the fool hasn't gone to super saiyan yet. As it Kakarotto read his mind, there was a bright golden light then that feeling of extreme heat. It didn't feel like being burned alive but that feeling of being comforted and protected. Vegeta hated that feeling. He looked over and saw 17 calmly walking towards him as if Vegeta was no threat at all. With that last thought, Vegeta slowly became to power up.

Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan were being knocked around as if they were nothing. Android 16 in Goku's eyes truly was a killer. He saw no remorse at all. In fact, there wasn't anything he could get out of that giant's stare. All he saw was the eyes of a cold-blooded killer. This creation showed no emotions at all. There will never be anything feelings such as joy, happiness, sorrow, or fear. Even Frieza's eyes showed all those characteristics. Goku slowly bent over as he was surrounded by a golden flame. The brief pain he felt when he transformed in to super saiyan was an adrenaline rush for him. He looked over at the android he was about to have a final bout with and he knew that he didn't have the power to beat him but he was going to give it his all and he was going to win. He smiled because now he was going to have an opponent who was stronger than him in every way. He flew at Android 16 and their fists collided then they blurred out of site. The two super warriors randomly reappeared either they would attack, block, or retaliate.

Dr. Gero couldn't believe it. Goku was fighting on a level that was equal or stronger than his greatest creation.

-This new power boost Son Goku does is very increasing indeed. He may be equal with Number 16 but he will tire out and that is when 16 will crush him. - He turned back to his own fight with the three earth fighters. Even they were able to increase their maxed power but it was only for a short period of time. If not, he would have been finish along time ago.

Vegeta started to rapidly increase his power as he felt Kakarotto began his real fight with that behemoth. The ground broke up around to create a wall that blocked his view of everyone. He really didn't care because once he finish powering up he was going to destroy those tin-cans then defeat Kakarotto. Everyone stopped what they were doing when they felt Vegeta's power surpass the normal max. Goku looked over and smiled. His prince had finally reached the pinnacle of their great race.
