Chapter 16

Gohan's figure floated in the void left behind by his self-destruct technique. But the figure was not a recognizable one of him. Gohan had turned to stone, and the look on his face was one of horror. There was a small sound of rocks tumbling, and then two figures flung themselves out of the rubble and landed on the rocks in front of them.

"You know, I would have never guessed that Gohan had been so strong. If it weren't for the data we had on Vegeta's last attack on Majin Buu, I don't think that we would have been nearly as prepared as we were." Android Goku noted.

The other android, Android Vegeta, looked on at the sky and just stared in contemplation of their next moves. With Gohan out of the way everything now, might be a little more easy. But how did Gohan get so strong? It couldn't have been a result of the Time Chamber, he wasn't there, he was at home. The android knew this because he had contemplated going there to blow up Goku's sons and his wife. That was supposed to be his plan for luring out Goku.

"You know, I wasn't as sure that we would be able to survive that attack. And the fact that he wasn't at full power didn't help either. Luckily I had wore him out before he was able to use that attack at full strength." Vegeta android said.

The Goku android got up and cracked his neck. Then checked himself out for any significant damage.

"You know, I hope like hell that none of them have an attack that strong, or that any of them are near as strong as Gohan. According to my data, Gohan should be stronger than the rest of them." He said with enthusiasm.

The android Vegeta sat up and looked around. He found what he was looking for, his boot, which had flown off in the attack.

"We only have to worry about Goku and Vegeta now. If they manage to train in the Time Chamber we are doomed." Android Vegeta pointed out.

The other android got to his feet, looking around he started to walk in the direction he could have sworn that Vegeta had flown. He then triangulated from the knowledge of the lookout he had, where Vegeta was.

"He flew to the lookout, and if I'm not mistaken, I feel Goku's energy, buddy." Goku android stated.

The android version of Vegeta looked at him with disgust, "Of course you clown."

Meanwhile, Massacre was most decidedly going to take a bath. She stripped her clothes, and climbed in the tub, she had only just started to wash her back when she noticed that she was sitting on the lookout floor, fully clothed with her sword in her hand instead of her brush. She was going to give God a stern talking to if it was her, him, it. She liked thinking of God as it better, made it all seem more realistic.

"Man, why is it that people try to interfere in my life?" Massacre said.

She looked at her clothes to make sure that she was fully dressed. Then she stood up, dusted herself off, and started to look around for any signs of life. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She was trying to heed what Piccolo had taught her about how to detect energy signals. The first one she latched onto was Vegeta's. Wow had his energy signal jumped since she left from before, but his energy signal seemed to be far away, then she noticed Goku's. Both power levels seemed to be far away, like they were almost in another dimension. Then it hit her, the Time Chamber, they must have gone in to train.

"Man, now I'll have to go and see how they are doing, after I find Piccolo." She said to herself.

Massacre concentrated again and searched for Piccolo's energy signature, his was easy to find seeing as it differed from the rest. It had a more comforting feel to it, but not quite as comfortable as another's energy signal she latched onto. She couldn't quite figure out where she had felt it before and why it was so comforting to know it was still there. Then she noticed it was right next to her. She knew who it was even before she opened her eyes. She knew it was the one man who she didn't want to love, even though it was far out of her control, and she knew it.

"Hey, I thought you weren't going to be back?" Came the voice of the man she didn't want to see right away.

Massacre composed herself, she wasn't going to fall to pieces over him like she wanted to. It would be too big of a blow to her pride. Apparently Vegeta and her had a lot more in common than she had thought.

"I wasn't, someone transported me here first, I'm not sure who." She said sheepishly.

"Ah, too bad, cause I ..uh…well….kinda wan….ted…you to …come…uhm…back." Trunks stammered out.

Massacre looked at him shocked, she knew how she felt about him, but he obviously felt the same way. She could definitely tell, with him blushing like he was. Maybe this guy wasn't as bad as she had thought. If he could get that flustered over little ol' her, there has to be something decent about him, or he was just flat out broken. Massacre decided he was a little bit of both. She walked over to Trunks, and gave him a smile.

"Do you really mean that? Or are you just trying to get back on my good side little man?" Massacre said with a wry smile on her face.

Trunks looked up and noticed she was smiling, maybe she did understand his sincerity. But his mother would never understand, she would go ballistic if she knew that he was going to date her. Trunks didn't care, he knew he wanted to be with this girl, just how to tell her, and how to ask her to be his was the problem. He could tell she wasn't the easy type to concede to something, seeing as she had stayed away for almost an entire day.

Meanwhile, the androids had decided they were going to get their bang for their buck. They had decided that if they were going to fight Goku and Vegeta, they were going to have to fight them all. But there was one problem, they couldn't sense Goku or Vegeta any more. It perplexed them to no end, the ones that they had set their gifts on beating had disappeared without warning and without a trace.

"They are in the Time Chamber, let's give them the time they desire, it may prove to be a challenge after all. Not to mention, Gohan according to my info was stronger than them both. If they keep training in there, then they will come out stronger than maybe him." Android Vegeta pointed out.

The other android looked at him confused, and then got a smile on his face. He knew that the real Vegeta's sense of a challenge had snuck out of his friend. It was comforting to know that the Goku android wasn't the only one with that weakness.

"Do you really think so buddy?" The Goku android asked.

The android version of Vegeta got a smirk on his face as he looked in the direction of the lookout. Then turned to his comrade, put his hand on his shoulder and then spoke.

"Of course my friend, I mean if we are to emulate them, why not wish for a challenge like they do? It can only prove, if we win, that we are the superior beings, and that not even Kakarot or Vegeta are capable of stopping us. Come, let us practice ourselves, we could stand the chance to improve ourselves as well. We may need the extra energy from our Saiyan bodies to fight this final battle royal." The Vegeta android said as he powered up.

The two powered up to their max, and then proceeded to battle as if they were each fighting their counterparts, both fighting with everything they had. They both knew that since they had part Saiyan bodies, thanks to Dr. Gero, once they were done their bodies would grow in strength. This was the one thing that they both relied on, for if they did this then they would definitely have an edge they could draw on in a dire need. And also if they did this then they would demonstrate what kind of power they had to everyone else on the lookout that could sense them fighting.

Back at the lookout Piccolo noticed Massacre's energy and smiled, then he noticed that both her and Trunks were in one of the rooms of the lookout alone. Piccolo could only grin as he tried to ascertain what was going on in the Time Chamber. Now that Dende had changed the Time Chamber to allow for more days, and cleared Vegeta and Goku of their previous days. They could stay in there as long as was needed to attain their newer power levels. Vegeta had also had another agenda that Piccolo new he was after, becoming Super Saiyan 4, even if he had to force Goku to train him to reach it.
