Chapter 14

Meanwhile, back at the battlefield Vegeta and Gohan were resting on some rocks. Then Vegeta stopped, and paid close attention to the area around them. He hadn't noticed it before, but it seemed like there was still energy around them besides himself and Gohan.

Gohan looked at Vegeta puzzled.

"Vegeta what's th—" Gohan started.

"Shhh, Gohan, do you feel that? It's those androids, I think we aren't done with them yet." Vegeta looked worried.

Gohan's expression was one of sheer terror. If the androids hadn't died, then that meant that Gohan was in serious trouble. Gohan had used up all his energy on that last attack, and he was almost too drained to fly even.

"I don't like this Vegeta. It's too creepy." Gohan said as he was looking around.

"Gohan look!" Vegeta shouted.

The spot where the androids had been were empty, and the androids were nowhere to be seen. But their energy could be felt everywhere, as if they were inside of the androids. Then without warning a hand appeared in front of Gohan and punched him. Gohan flew back for yards, impacting into the ground and just kept on going. The creator trail he left with his body was long. Gohan finally came to a stop against a large rock. The hands appeared again and it was a set of four. All attacking Gohan at once.

"Gohan, No!" Vegeta screamed, "get up, defend yourself!"

Between screams Gohan spoke.

"No, Vegeta, get out of here, tell my dad that he is needed quick. I know you sensed his return, go to him now. Fuse with him. It's our only chance!" Gohan yelled loudly as he was being attacked.

Then without warning, Gohan screamed, and stood up. His energy surrounding him brightly. He then yelled out again and turned Super Saiyan once more.

"I'll hold them off Vegeta, you get up to the lookout and form some sort of plan. I'll take care of these tin metal freaks." Gohan said as he powered up.

"But, Gohan?" Vegeta asked in desperation.

"NO! GO NOW VEGETA!" Gohan yelled as he started to fight both of the androids at once.

"You are not going to get away from this! Not one death will be unaccounted for! Not one!" Gohan shouted as he started to launch off energy attacks.

Vegeta stood there speechless as he watched Gohan fight them, wishing that he knew what to do. He then realized that Gohan was giving him the time to get back. Vegeta looked over his shoulder one last time before leaving.

"Thank you Gohan," Vegeta said, "you truly are a great warrior."

And Vegeta took off, speeding towards the lookout. Seconds later Vegeta felt Gohan's energy spike and then heard an explosion larger than he had ever heard or seen before.

He turned around just in time to see Gohan scream and then his energy shoot out from his body, creating a rather extra ordinary explosion. One that Vegeta knew all too well.

"No, Gohan, I'm sorry." Vegeta looked on in horror as the energy blast got bigger along with the creator it was making. He then realized that he needed to get back to the lookout. As far as he knew the androids didn't know where it was. And he was not going to ruin Gohan's intent.

Back at the lookout, Piccolo's eyes shot open wide. Goku's head spun around in an expression of sheer terror. Krillin, Master Roshi, Yamcha, and even Tien, turned around as they felt the familiar energy that they had known for a long time, the energy of Gohan, disappear without a trace. Then without warning the lookout began to shake and everyone was being thrown around. Those that could fly, grabbed the ones that couldn't a floated above the lookout.

"No, Gohan," Piccolo said quietly to himself, "we've lost you."

Goku looked on in anger, and sorrow. The expression on his face turned towards sheer anger. And his body began to shake, his hair started to bounce like it was in an upward wind. And then it happened.

"AAAHHH, No!" Goku yelled, "It's not going to keep going on like this!"

Goku's energy shot out as he yelled in a fit of rage. His energy sharply changed colors and his hair shot straight up. There was a flash and Goku's hair changed from black to goldish blonde, and his energy was yellow in color around his body.

"No, more," Goku shouted, "Those androids will kill no one else! I have sat by and underestimated them over and over. And I've done nothing each time they killed someone I loved. I will not stand by any longer!" Goku yelled.

Then out of nowhere Vegeta appeared in front of Goku.

"Oh yes you are Kakarot," Vegeta said as he got into Goku's face, "Gohan did not just give his life for us for you to go and get you clown ass killed."

"Vegeta, I'm not going to put up with your attitude now. Get out of my way or I'll move you myself!" Goku demanded.

Vegeta powered up to Super Saiyan 3 and stood directly in front of Goku.

"I don't know if I'm more powerful than you Kakarot, but if I have to find out its going to be in there," Vegeta pointed to a brown door.

Goku looked where he was pointing, and then back at Vegeta. The look of confusion on his face turning to that of one of complete calmness.

"Where's Dende?" Vegeta asked.

Piccolo walked up to Vegeta and then looked at him.

"Dende is on his way. He got transported to where he was last before he died, which was at Goku's house trying to get a chance to heal Goku."

Vegeta looked at Piccolo.

"What are you staring at Piccolo? Is the fact that I'm this strong, shorting out that brilliant Namek brain of yours? Or are you just starting to swing the other way?" Vegeta said with a smile.

Piccolo arched an eyebrow.

"Actually I was looking at how ridiculous you look without eyebrow hair." Piccolo said laughingly.

Vegeta turned his head in disgust.

"The end justifies the means Namek. I'm not in this for a glamour contest." Vegeta rubbed his eyebrows.

Goku looked at them both, and then calmed down. He powered down enough so that he wouldn't hurt anybody, but stayed as a Super Saiyan. He figured he should try and get used to it again.

"Kakarot and I are going to go into that thing first. We can cover more ground that way. And our training won't take as long. But as I understand it we need Dende, he is the only one who can remove our previous days, and give us more time in the chamber." Vegeta noted.

Piccolo looked at him with a look of intruigement.

"And just how do you know this information Vegeta?" Piccolo asked.

Vegeta grinned.

"When I died against Buu, I asked King Yemma, if it were possible to have more than two days of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He told me of it's secrets, and what the Guardian could do if he was skilled enough. And I figure since you were guardian for so long Piccolo, you know exactly what to do. You can teach Dende, and we can all be ready for those androids, once they do realize where we are. They wont be able to detect how strong we are getting in the time chamber, so you will have a little bit of cover. But once we are out of there, you better find a way of hiding yourselves. Because its going to draw them straight to us." Vegeta took a deep breath.

Goku looked at Vegeta astonished. Normally Vegeta never had volunteered a scheme to the table, and now that he did, it was the best battle plan he had ever encountered.

"So you guys are going to just train as Super Saiyans?" Piccolo asked.

"Not quite Piccolo," Vegeta smiled. "We are going in there to train while we are fused"

Goku looked at Vegeta like there was something wrong. He walked over to Bulma and asked her how she thought of it, and got nothing but drooling from her. Apparently she liked the fact that Vegeta had been working out, or something that was turning her on.

"Hey! You guys are all back!" They heard over their heads.

It was Dende, looking alive and well. Dende immediately walked over to Goku and put his hand on Goku's shoulder.

Superman, who had just been listening the whole time decided to put in his two pieces in.

"I don't suppose any of you have a plan for keeping them out of too much mischief while they are training? I mean they aren't going to be amused with the death of Gohan for too long. And if they are like either one of you, they are going to want to look for some action and soon. Now I don't know if I can help, but I can go and try to give them a run for their money while you guys train."

Vegeta walked up to Superman and then put his arm on his shoulder.

"I know you're strong Superman, but we need all the cards we can get. Stay here, if they attack while we are in the chamber you at least will have a better drop on them and a better layout of the surroundings." Vegeta said with concern.

Superman looked at him and then bowed his head, "I know, your right, it's just that I feel so left out, and useless here. I'm not even doing anything to find help. I'm not used to such a calm and collected bunch of people."

Vegeta looked at everyone, "Your calling this group calm? Wait until one of them blows up, then all their nasty ness comes out and its usually pinned on the new guys."

Superman looked and grinned, "I suppose not, so when are we going to get this plan into action?" He said stamping his fist into his hand, with a grin that looked very sinister yet inviting.
