Power of the Heart

Chapter 6

Krillin weakly dragged himself into the Capsule Corporation's main building. The moment he walked inside, he was bombarded with the smell of breakfast being made. His stomach reminded him of the fact that he have been training for the past eight hours straight and that the last time he had something to eat was yesterday morning. When he arrived in the kitchen, he was surprise to see Chi-chi cooking instead of Mrs. Briefs. He could feel Gohan getting ready upstairs and that Bulma was somewhere below him. He knew that he was going to have to tell them of the massacre that went on the day before and about the dream he had.

"Breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes Krillin. Would you set the table for everyone?"

"Yea, sure thing Chi-chi." Krillin replied even though he felt that he barely had the strength to stand let alone do any other activities. As soon as he finish setting the dishes out, Gohan and Bulma were seating at the dining area. When the food was set out, Krillin made a plate that would make Goku jealous. Everyone stared at him as he dug into his food with the same intensity as Goku.

"What, I haven't eaten since yesterday morning. I had been training for hours in several times gravity. I'm just a little hungry." Krillin voiced.

"It's just that you are eating as much as my Goku does…." Chi-chi went silent after she realized the mistake she made. "Krillin what happen yesterday, Gohan said that you said that you took care of the Androids." Chi-chi stated confused.

"Well it when like this, we were doing well especially when Vegeta went super saiyan…."

"….Now you die, SUPER VEGETA'S BIG BANG ATTACCCCKKKKKKKK!" The force of the attack plowed 17 into the soil completely covering him in an explosion that was felt for miles. The aftershock from Vegeta's blast threw some of the combatants a couple of feet away. Vegeta's mocking laughter filled the mountain region.

"One tin can crushed, now to finish the rest." Dr. Gero's face was covered in fear. He clearly underestimated the power of these warriors. Vegeta flew upwards to Android 16 and kicked him in the back. He was unprepared for the attack since he was fighting with Kakarotto; the force propelled the metal giantto the rocks below. Vegeta threw his arms out and started gathering ki. Slamming his palms together, yellow energy swirled around them. 16 picked himself out of the trench he created and rocketed towards the prince.

"Baka, FINAL FLASSSSSSHHHHHHH!" The powerful blast zoomed towards its designated target. 16 saw the strength behind the blast and tried to dodge it. The blast slammed into 16's left shoulder and exploded. The behemoth's massive body dropped to the ground motionless. Everyone was speechless at the display of Vegeta's power. As the smoke cleared, a chunk of 16's shoulder was missing and part of his face was burned and crushed.

"Now Kakarotto, you can finish him off." Suddenly 16's form jumped to his feet and his eyes glowed red. Without warning he flew towards Goku and wrapped his arms around Goku, pinning Goku's arms at the waist. Goku tried to break free but 16 seem to have gotten stronger. Piccolo rushed to Goku's aid but a boot from 16 stopped him.

"Now you die Son Goku" Dr. Gero said as 16 glowed red and flew upwards. Tien after hearing what Dr. Gero said raced to free Goku. As soon as Tien met them in the sky, Android 16 self-destruct killing Goku and Tien instantly. Everyone was shocked at what just happen.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy" Gohan cried as his power skyrocketed. Dr. Gero attacked Gohan and started draining his incredible power away.

"KAIOKEN TIMES FIFTY" Krillin yelled as he was surrounded by red flames and attacked Dr. Gero but it just wasn't enough. Gero backhanded Krillin; Krillin rolled away as the power from kaioken faded. Dr. Gero was forced to drop Gohan when Vegeta kicked him in his face. Gohan's weakly formed fell to the ground barely conscious.

"I can't believe that Kakarotto's death wasn't by my hands. No matter I'll destroy ….." A fist punched tore through Vegeta's abdomen. Piccolo weakly stood up as he saw a damaged 17's fist sticking out of Vegeta's stomach and Vegeta detransformed.

"That was for destroying my right arm and for messing up my face." 17 whispered in Vegeta's ear then he blasted Piccolo erasing him from this plane of existence. 17 then pulled his left arm free and kicked Vegeta's head off.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!" Gohan yelled furiously as the death of his father, Mr. Piccolo, and even Vegeta send him over the edge and destroyed the barrier keeping him from the power of a super saiyan.
