FOREWORD
Hey,its UltimateMewtwoX.So,here is the chapter five.And,before going onto the chapter I would like to tell a few things.First off,that I or my cousin neither of us actually writes lemons,since we are not good at them.I will surely give small references like the last chapter's ending but not the whole thing.And also I want to make it clear that until I am able to I will upload the chapters in a short amount of time just like the last chapter but after that I will upload once in a month or twice so please bear with it.And the idea of the new story that I told you guys about it in the last chapter,it actually came to me all of a sudden that due to so many changes how would the future react to all of this and I decided to write an alternatie story along with this one which will probably be focusing on the future and the meeting of present and future and how things turn out differently from Dragon Ball M,so it's name will probably be Dragon Ball M-Chronicles of the alternate future.Thanks to my cousin I was able to make the outline of that story perfectly.So, that's it for the foreword I guess.So, let's begin
LAST TIME ON DRAGON BALL M
King Cold,the father of emperor Freeza,arrived in Earth with his intention of killing Goku to avenge his son Freeza.But,those plans were disrupted by Trunks,the future son Vegeta and Bulma from another reality,having gone back in time to warn the Z-fighters about the red ribbon army but was shocked that timeline was so different from the one he came.He intended to return to his timeline and return after three years,but some thing went wrong inside his time machine and left him helpless until Bulma can repair it.And now,we ware going to enter into the event of the battle with the Red Ribbon Army androids.
MAY 11 AGE 767 - 9:00 P.M.
The evening before the advent of Dr.Gero and his androids,Goku heads to pay his brother a visit.The door is opened by his niece,Ranch,who was just gotten over two years old at the time.
"Ranch,baby girl,what did daddy say about opening the door?"Raditz said,as he picked her up from the ground "Launch,can you mind to take care of Ranch?My brother is here"
(Good)Launch comes and takes her daughter to the bed and Goku is invited inside the house.
"Seems like you are having a bit of trouble with her?"Goku said
"It was easier to fight Freeza"Raditz said "We tried doing everything to baby proof the house,but then somehow she started flying"
"Hey, that's strange"Goku said "I had to teach both of my sons how to fly,and Bardock learned to fly just three months ago..."
They take a seat."You want a drink?"Raditz asked as he took a sip of the wine bottle he had opened.
"No thanks,you know I don't do that;just wanted to have a quick chat about tomorrow"Goku said.
"I see.Have you heard anything from Vegeta?"Raditz asked.
"No,it has been a little bit of time since Trunks was born,still he hasn't shown up.But if those androids are half as tough as we heard,well,I am sure Vegeta's going to show up.He won't miss a fight like that for anything"Goku said
"It pains me to say it,but we will need Vegeta tomorrow more than ever.If Trunks is right then not even a super saiyan stands a chance against them"Raditz said.
"But you gotta,remember he is from a very very much different future,and with him,you and me...we stand a better chance.But still you are right I highly doubt we will stand a chance against them without Vegeta.Besides a few days ago I felt a huge surge in power coming from the south,you felt it too right?"Goku asked with a smile as Raditz's eyes widened.
"Yeah,it was quite familiar. You actually think he has achieved it?"Raditz asked as Goku's smile grew wider.
"Maybe,maybe not"Goku said "Oh yeah"Goku said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out an S-sized capsule " A little present from my wife"
He gives the capsule a toss and sitting on the floor is a black battle suit with an armor similar to Vegeta's except the colour of the suit and armor being black and brown.Raditz smiled examining the
suit.
"She is quite a woman,You are really lucky,you know Kakarot"Raditz said.
"Yeah...I know.Even Vegeta told me that once.She asked me if I wanted one but I am to used to my gi"Goku said
"Well,thanks anyway"Raditz said.
"Brother...something is there which I have been meaning to ask you from the time you arrived on Earth...what was our father like?"Goku asked.
Raditz stands up and goes to the kitchen and brings a hetap from the fridge and opening the can took a sip and said "I am simply enjoying what this planet has to offer,Kakarot.But our father...well.He was a rarity among the saiyan warriors.You are like him much more than me.I suppose it's safe to say our father was you with a dash or two of Vegeta.His power level was said to be the same as King Vegeta,Vegeta's father,making him the joint strongest saiyan at that time.No low-class or elite warrior,no one could match him.Nappa admired him a lot"
"Ohh,I guess the apples didn't fall far from the tree.Don't think of yourself short,Raditz.I may have Dad's look,but from what you said,you resemble him more than you think.Anyway...don't forget,9 A.M. tomorrow,12 hours from now"Goku said,standing up.He cracked his neck and rubbed his left arm.
"All this training has made me sore.I should've taken everyone on a week long cruise"Goku said.
"Now, that's not like you"Raditz said
"Ahh,I guess sometimes being the richest has its perks"Goku said scratching the back of his head as Raditz smiled.
"Maybe we can go when all of this is finished"Raditz said.
"Well I will return home now.Give my love to Launch and Ranch"Goku said.Raditz's smile fades as he watches his brother fly away and his face changes to one of concern.He sighs deeply and goes inside his house.
Ranch comes flying and lands in his arms.
"Daddy,why was Uncle Goku here?"She asked.
"Because tomorrow,your daddy,uncle and his friends are gonna save the world"Launch said with a smile.
"I want to fight,too"Ranch said.Raditz smiled and ruffled her silky black hair.
"Maybe one day"He said.
MAY 12,AGE 767-9:00 A.M.
As a capsule plane lands,Goku is first to step out on a cliff near the island.Following him are his wife,son,Trunks,Krillin and Nappa.Gohan is wearing a purple version of old turtle school gi with the capsule corp. logo,yamcha and Krillin are wearing the original old turtle school gi,Trunks is wearing a battle suit like Vegeta's,And Bulma knowingly complimenting him about how much he looks like Vegeta in the face.Nappa is wearing an army outfit with his beard and moustache shaved and tail finally removed after nearly five years.
They see a tall figure in a white cloak standing there waiting for them.
"Who are you?"Nappa asked with confusion and caution.
"It feels like...Kami"Goku said.
"Yes,that is absolutely right,Goku"A deep voice responded.The cloak flew away revealing Kami,but much more taller and muscular. "Hello,my friends.I hope my appearance does not startle you".
"Kami?"Goku asked,looking at him "Amazing,you look awesome"
Kami smiled in response "Yes.When that young man arrived,I sensed immense power and was naturally cautioned.Observing I heard his tale of what this day shall be bringing.I will no longer stand by as this world I loved so much is wrecked by hearts of evil"
"I appreciate it,believe me,and while you look strong,I just can't feel any of your power.You are hiding it, Aren't yaa?"Goku asked.
"Of course,There is no telling what those androids are capable of,so I would rather not 'tip my hand' so to speak...although I promise you will not be disappointed"Kami said
Shortly after that,Raditz lands,greeting everyone. "No Vegeta,Ehh?"He asked as Nappa shrugged.
"He will be here"Nappa said.
"I sure hope he arrives"Goku said "I am kinda curious to know what he has achieved.Plus...I am sure he is thinking the same about us"
As silence falls over the gang as they keep an eye on the city,waiting.Now,many might be wondering that Bardock is now the same age as Gohan was when Nappa and Vegeta arrived but why isn't there.Well it is simple,Bulma does not want to take any risk with Bardock as she did with Gohan,so she left him at Launch's to play with Ranch.He was not ready to go to Launch's house after finding out about the fight,which Gohan accidently slipped on about but Bulma made him understand that this is a battlefield and he won't be able to control himself.And they were afraid about him going crazy like Gohan did against Nappa and Vegeta.
--
10:15 A.M.
"Where are they?"Krillin asked.
"I know,right?"Nappa said "I was fine waiting until ten,but this is ridiculous.What's the big idea,boy?"
"Relax Nappa,Trunks was just a baby when this happened,and I'm sure when he was told ten the morning,it wasn't exactly that,"Bulma said "I seem to remember everyone saying you and Vegeta were to arrive at noon,even though it was quarter-till"
"Fine,I just want go get this over with"Nappa said "I am so borrrred.Yamcha,you brought a ball?"
"Yeah"Yamcha said and produced a baseball from no where. "But,I am saving this bad boy for a rainy day"
"Come on,tell us Yamcha You have come up with a new technique,right?"Krillin asked.Yamcha smiled "Well,come on,what is it?"Krllin asked again.
"That would ruin the surprise"Yamcha said "Let's just say you would not see me throwing this one in a game"
"Look,over there"Raditz said pointing at the sky as everyone got ready for fighting but then noticed the thing clearly."No, it's just a skycar"
"That is not a skycar"Goku said "That's Yajirobe...and it looks like Maron and baby Trunks are with him,too"
" She brought me "Trunks yelled.Everyone looked at him in shock except Goku and Kami.Bulma was just smiling.They all knew that Trunks has atleast the same name as Vegeta and Maron's son but this was something only he,Goku,Kami and Bulma knew -not even Raditz,Nappa or Gohan were told about it.
"Explain,Boy"Raditz said"What did you mean by that she brought you?"
"Well...look,Maron's baby is not exactly me,biologically,I guess you can say that in a way,he is my half-brother"Trunks said "I did not want to disclose that until the time was right,but in my time Goku is not married to Bulma but is married to another woman you might know as ChiChi,Yamcha's wife. Vegeta...he is my father,atleast in my time.And on top of that,my mother,well..."He says,as Yajirobe's skycar descends.
"Trunks,are you sure about that?"Goku said"You said you did not want to risk any more changes"
"It's alright,Goku"Trunks said"In fact,my actual birth in this world has already passed.Oddly,it is the same time as your Trunks,but here goes.In my timeline,I don't know who Maron is...but my mother is"
"Trunks"Bulma said stopping him "I found out the same day you arrived"She said
Yajirobe stepped upto Goku,handing him the bag of Senzu beans,while Maron steps out of the car.
"What?How?"Trunks asked in shock.
"Well,there is someone who can't hide any secret from me"She said with a knowing smirk as she looked at her husband who laughed nervously."Besides...a mother can always tell.Isn't that right,Maron?"
Maron smiles and waves.She goes upto(Future)Trunks,the boy blushing like mad"Hello,Son"
Trunks looks at her and smiles"Well,I guess the secret's out"
"Sweetie,I know you're not mine,but that's okay"Maron said "Just after I had the boy,I asked Bulma why she named him Trunks and she explained the entire thing"
Trunks nods and turns to the rest of the z-fighters "I...would really appreciate it if you guys let me be the one to tell Vegeta"
"Don't you worry,champ"Nappa said "Your secret is safe with me"
"Well,now that the cat's out of the bag,you really shouldn't come here here,Maron especially not with Trunks"Bulma said worringly.
"Come on,I have seen these guys fight for many years,now I am used to it"Maron said.
Bulma sighed and turned to the gathered z-fighters and said "Ah, Don't worry,once the show starts,I will take her and the baby back home.I just want to get a look at these androids...I didn't even get to see Freeza"
"Hey I didn't get to see 'em either"Yajirobe said as Yamcha nodded.
Goku collects the bag of senzu and looks at his old friend,"Thanks Yajirobe,these are going to come in handy"He said.He looks at the bag.
"Well...then,Good Luck I guess"Yajirobe said,as he turned back and hoped into his skycar.Yajirobe takes off,and shortly there after,everyone gasps as they watch Yajirobe's skycar being hit by an energy wave.They gasp in horror as they watch him crashing into the ocean.
"There in the sky"Gohan yelled
"It came from above"Kami said
"That must be those androids!They are heading into the city,Kakarot"Raditz said "Did anyone see where they headed?"
"No,I couldn't get a good look at them"Goku said "And now that I think about it,I didn't sense any energy at all."
"You're right"Kami said"Trunks...you said that we can't sense the energy of those androids,right?"
"That's right...but I still don't understand,why?"Trunks said.
"No point worrying about it now,we will just have to do it the old fashioned way"Goku said "Everybody, let's split up,if anyone finds anything,let us know right away.Gohan,you check on Yajirobe,I think he might be safe"
"Right"Gohan said,flying off.
"Everyone,those androids,they are twins.A male and a female.The male is number 17.He is about my height,black hair,he wears an orange bandana around his neck,with jeans and a black t-shirt.The woman is Number 18.She has blonde hair and usually wears a jean vest and skirt,sometime with a black t shirt.I guess if she weren't evil like she was,I would call her beautiful"Trunks said.
"Got it"Goku said.He turns to his wife and hugs her and smiles."Don't worry...honey,I will be home soon,real soon".He tossed the bag of senzu and took off,with his fellow z-fighters following him.
Maron is understandably disappointed as her excitement fades away , but Bulma just sighs.
In the streets,the z-fighters are on guard,with several comments from the people there about them being weirdos,which none of the fighters actually pays attention to.Yamcha runs down an alley,and sees Nappa at the end.But,Nappa just puts his hands up and shakes his head.Suddenly,a yell is heard...
In the middle of the street stand Android 19 and Android 20,with the signs that their assault has started.
"Number 20,I detect many unusally high power levels coming this way"Android 19 said "It appears consistent with projected energy gains.Hypothesis one:One of the power levels belongs to Son Goku"
"Brilliant,this just makes things easier for me"Android 20 replied.
Yamcha gets to the place where the yell came from and looks in shock at the open window,where two officers are looking at the carnage. "Hey,you guys,Did you see who did that?"Yamcha asked
"You'd know them if you saw them "One of the officers said."Hey aren't Yamcha from the Titans?"
Floating in the sky above,the Androids observe Yamcha. "Number 20,Hypothesis one is now rejected.The profile matches to that of Yamcha"Android 19 said.Android 20 shakes his head.
"Now,that is disappointing"Android 20 said "However,we can still make use of his energy,it is very impressive indeed"
Meanwhile,Yamcha is confused about the advice the officers gave. "Wonderful"He muttered in anger and confusion.Suddenly he sensed danger nearby,begins looking around.He sees two figures approaching him:One appears to be a real fat clown and another appears to be a bearded old man.
"Hey,did you two see anything-"Yamcha stops and has a look of horror on his face when he sees the symbols on their hats.The familiar red inverted diamonds of the Red Ribbon Army.He gasps,but readies himself for assault.
"As a matter of fact,baseball star"Android 20 said
"GUYS!I NEED HELP!OVER HERE!" Yamcha yelled,but as soon as he finished yelling,Android 20 covered his mouth with his hand.A gas truck did not manage to avoid them in the street as the Android lifted Yamcha,The truck clashed with them leading to an explosion.
And now for one,this got every z-fighter's attention.
Krillin angrily gritted his teeth "Alright,It is showtime"He said with bravery.Up on the ridge,Bulma,Maron(with baby trunks)observe in horror but Maron is excited as well much to Bulma's annoyance.Gohan and Yajirobe gasp as well.
Yamcha is not going to die as a weakling though.He flares up his ki and begins attacking the androids as hard as he can.But it was of no use as he slowly realised that they were draining his energy.Yamcha powered down and tried his best to pull the hand off his mouth...but then again...he screams in pain at the most powerful attack he has ever felt in his life hit him.He glances down and gasps in horror as he sees the other arm of android 20...pierced right through his chest.
ChiChi...Yam-Chi...I Am sorry He thinks as tears start to roll down his cheeks.
In the sky,Goku notices the smoke from the explosion and begins flying at his full power.
"Someone's energy is fading fast"Gohan said.
"That's Yamcha.What is the hell is going on?"Krillin said as he took off.
Nappa arrives at the place first and is mad at what he sees... His best friend screaming in pain as the android's arm is right through his chest.
"Put him down,you Motherfucker"Nappa yelled.
Android 20 smiled "Android 19 I need the data"
"Hypothesis one:He is the saiyan called Nappa"Android 19 said.This surprised Android 20.
"Nappa,ehh.Interesting"He said but then he turned around to see Nappa screaming.He pulls his arm out of Yamcha's chest and blood begins to pour.
"Yamcha"Nappa cried,as he flew around catching his friend.He is very pissed, but not enough for that,sadly...(I hope you understand what that means). Nappa looks around and sees a relatively intact car nearby.He goes over,picks it up over his head and throws it right at Android 20.Android 20 doesn't even show any reaction as he raises his hand and fires a beam slicing the car in two.It crash lands at the ground.
"Analysis complete.He is much stronger than expected"Android 19 said
"Yes,Android 19,compute new project based off dara gathered on Yamcha and Nappa,and apply appropriate changes wherever required"Android 20 said.
"Work in Progress"Android 19 said.
"Query,Android 19"Android 20 said "I am updating to process the influx of new energy.What do your sensors say about his power level?"
These must those androids...but they are nothing like Trunks said Nappa thought.
"It is more than Nine Hundred Thousand"Android 19 said.
"Understood"Android 20 replied.
The next to land are Goku and Raditz,followed by Trunks and Krillin.Finally,Kami also landed.
"Android 19,I need data"Android 20 said.
"Android 19?"Trunks asked "That's you...!Where is 17 and 18?"
Android 20's eyebrows slightly raise in surprise but it quickly fades. "Ohh,you don't need to worry about them.They will arrive soon.But for now identify these individuals,Android 19"
"Son Goku and His brother Raditz.Krillin,Son Goku's friend and a martial artist,briefly killed during the advent of the Saiyans Vegeta and Nappa but then revived presumably with the dragon balls"
"Oh shit, They know about the dragon balls "Krillin said in horror but Goku assured them.
"Don't worry,everyone"Goku said"Those two are not after the dragon balls"
"Profile of remaining two individuals incomplete,although 68% chances are that large green humanoid is the same race as King Piccolo"Android 19 said.
"Ah,King Piccolo,I see"Android 20 said
"And my friend,what about that male who is aware of your siblings?"Android 20 asked.
"Profile unknown.Apthough facial analysis suggest that 97% probability is that is the adult child of Prince Vegeta and Bulma"Android 19 responded.Andorid 20 smirked and glared at Goku.
"It would seem that the laws of physics are easily broken...and marital vows as well Son Goku,am i right?"He asked as Goku could feel his rage boiling.
"You..."Goku said in an angry voice and was about to attack them but Raditz put his hand in front of him and said "No Kakarot,they are trying to get into your head,but don't let them.You know the truth".Goku calmed down at this and nodded.Then he turned to Krillin.
"Listen,Krillin.My wife and Maron,along with her baby are up on the ridge over the city.They have the bag of the senzu beans.Take Yamcha and hurry,his energy is barely there.You have his life in your hands.Nappa,Please keep my wife and Maron(along with Baby Trunks) safe"Goku said.
"Right"Krillin said and Nappa nodded.As Nappa was helping him he gasped when he saw how lifeless his best friend's face looked.They took off.
"Android 19,I am executing program Tau Eta 3"Android 20 said.Android 19 looked at him.
"But that program is more than half incomplete,Android 20"Android 19 said.
"Does not matter.Present circumstances demands its use"Android 20 said"As for you Son Goku,You know it is a tactical error to reveal the location of your family"
"Might be,but you are not after my family"Goku said "Atleast not now.But you also know who we are and I bet you are pretty sure why we are here"
"If a war is what you wish then so be it"Android 20 said.The androids charge and Raditz and Kami ready their stances but Goku holds out his hand in front of them.
"Not here...There are too many innocent people here"Goku said.
"We agree"Raditz and Kami said at the same time.
"Let's take it outside the city,okay?"Goku asked
"You propose a change in location due to that?A problem of too many people watching can easily be rectified"Android 20 said.
Goku's eyes went wide as he realised what the android meant.But it was too late as he fired an energy blast but before the blast could hit the city it exploded.As the smoke of the explosion cleared,it showed Goku standing there his hand up having cancelled out that blast with his own.His face being dead serious.
"YOU BASTARDS" Goku yelled,delivered a solid spinning kick on Android 20.It only vibrates his head a little bit,but it is enough to knock his hat off,revealing a mechanical brain as the four z-fighters gasp.Android 20 causually grabs the hat and reattaches it.
"You do not seem pleased with my solution"Android 20 said. "There are less people in this city now,however,I see that this has not been comfortable to you.Well,we shall follow you,Son Goku.I can guarantee that you and your teammates will be unharmed until you land,still I can tell you that you are merely choosing the path to your grave"
"That is what you think"Trunks said as held out his sword."It is true,I am from the future,but you know what?You don't exist there"
"Well,that is not big problem since we know that changes in future event are acceptable.But you forgot to say a different future.I doubt that will be repeated here."Android 20 said.Before Trunks could respond Goku said "Alright, let's go"Goku said.Raditz shaked his head and followed with the others.
Up on the ridge,all of them watch in relief as they take off.
"Thank goodness,Goku is leading them away from the city...and us"Krillin said "Still they are gonna these"He said as grabbed the bag of senzu beans. "Come on, Let's rock"Krillin said flying off.Gohan was about to follow when Bulma stood in front of him "You had promised me,Gohan.You won't take part in that"She said.But Gohan looked at her with a dead serious face and said"I am going to help my father"He said and flew after Krillin.Bulma watched in shock as her son actually disobeyed her.She had a look of anger and frustration on her face.
"That kid...arghhhhh...I have had enough of those stupid alien monkeys"Bulma yelled.
"Hey"Nappa retorted,after all he was also a saiyan.
"You're diferent,big guy.You don't seem to have the want to die"Bulma said
"Alright,I am going too"Yamcha said in confidence as he took off.
"Bulma,What do you want me to do?"Nappa asked,looking at blue haired woman.
"Umm,we are safe... for now "Bulma said "Go with them and look after my son-If something happens to my Goku,we are basically done for".Nappa nodded and flew after Yamcha.
Maron looked at Yajirobe "Aren't you going to go with them?You are pretty strong"
"I can't fly,have you forgotten?"Yajirobe asked as Maron laughed sheepishly.Bulma snickered as she pulled out her phone from her purse.
"Master Roshi?Yeah, It's Bulma.Yes,it has started.Now listen.he is currently fine,but they almost killed Yamcha. Uh-huh. Look
,remember that plane Goku gifted you on your birthday?Yeah,use it and fly to Raditz's house and grab Launch and Ranch,and take them to the capsule corporation.What?No,I am not gonna send you my nudes ,you pervert. It is called being a decent human being,got it.And don't even think of pulling anything with Launch,because I highly doubt that Raditz will let you live after that to watch the next sunrise"
She cut the call angrily
"That old perv. never changes,does he?"Maron asked chuckling.Bulma sighed.
"He is worse than the androids"
In the sky,Trunks goes upto Goku.
"Goku,listen these two...they aren't the androids!And Android 20...that is Dr.Gero himself.He somehow converted himself into an android "Trunks said.
"That is strange"Goku said."He must have wanted to not take chances of failing".He momentarily winced in pain as he felt something in his heart but shrugged it off.
Trunks looked at him warily and said"You know your limits,Goku.Those androids they are strong,stronger than you can imagine.I have to find 17 and 18"Trunks said.
"Can you handle them?Or should I send Gohan with you?"Goku asked.
"No,Things might be different here.But 17 and 18 still have their old habits I bet"Trunks said.
"Alright,kid.Be careful"Goku said.Trunks flies off and the z-fighters land.
Goku turned to 19 and 20."You have obviously done your homework on us.But I wonder just how out of date your data is.Guys,stop supressing your power.Let's show 'em what they are up against"
Android 20 looked at them "Android 19,I need a threat analysis"
"Yes,the one who is of the same race as King Piccolo has spiked up his power to 200 million.No changes in Nappa or Krillin's power level.Yamcha's power level has been restored to pre-drained state,possibly as a result of those medicines they call 'Senzu beans'.Power level of Son Goku,his brother and his son are estimated respectfully at five million,four million and three point seven million.Factoring in changes for the 'super saiyan' energy,all power estimates nearly two hundred million"Android 19 said
"What was that about?"Krillin asked.
"It has been prepared for you, all "Android 20 said.
"Look,I know you are really Dr.Gero...so cut the chase.Just what the hell do you guys want?"Goku asked
"Dr.Gero...is deceased.Your information in not correct.However,is is true that this body is a physical copy of the doc"Android 20 said "As for what we want,we simply wish to improve the quality of life on this planet.War,disease,famine,deaths,concentration of harmful gases,all these things are reason for humanity's extinction and for new life to take place"
"New life for what? Machines?" Raditz asked.Android 20 quickly shot him an icy glare.The glare was unsettling Raditz.
"Amongst other things,Yes,Son Goku's brother"Android 20 said.Now,that touched a nerve of Goku."You see..This moment has been anticipated,and our timing was not by coincidence only.Do you remember this day in history,17 years ago,Son Goku?The day you destroyed the Red Ribbon Army,all by yourself"
"Yeah,What about it?"Goku asked.
"You were not quite thorough with it"Androud 20 said "Make no mistakes,the Red Ribbon Army may have got commander Red's name,but he was just a small minded fool.From the moment it was founded,they were squarely under the thumb of Dr.Gero.He was a man of great visions,to replace all life on Earth with his magnificent creations,but that was a dream you ruined,Son Goku"Android 20 said "It was a humiliation Dr.Gero would have never forgiven you for.From your transformation to the glorious almighty 'super saiyan' form at the 23rd world martial tournament,your marriage with Bulma Briefs,the birth of your son the first half-saiyan,the arrival of your brother Raditz and finally to your ultimate battle with Prince Vegeta four and half years ago,we observed your every movement till then,and our database includes an special catalogue of all your techniques.Your defeat is inevitable"
"I could say it a shame your database is not complete,then"Kami said "It seems you have been out of loop for years"
"It does not matter,we have run many projections and anticipated incalculable scenarios,including of those unanticipated"Android 20 said.
"You mean you haven't observed us since we left for Namek?"Raditz asked as he nodded to Goku with a smile forming at his face as an idea pooped to him.
"We did not need to"Android 20 said
"Well then,Kakarot"Raditz turned to his brother who smiled in return.
"Let's show them our stuff"Goku said as the brothers began powering up and to the surprise of the androids,they achieve their super saiyan forms.
"Android 20,it would seem that Son Goku has taught the technique to others of his race as well.Although,there is still an expectation of increase in power"Android 19 said "I request Son Goku's energy"
"Very well,Android 19,it is only really fair,if I went first"Android 20 said "Their power is huge,but still within the parameters"
"Let's go, Kakarot"Raditz said but Goku put his hand in front of him.
"Hang on,Let me take him on"Goku said.
"What?Kakarot you saw how dangerous they are,you still wanna do it?"Raditz asked.
"Don't worry,you take 20,I take 19"Goku said
The battle between Goku and 19 begins ,and I could say it was the totally the same as the canon one.Goku kept adjusting his energy after he was warned about the energy drain,but no matter what he pulled off,it proved to not be enough.Finally,Android 19 knocked Goku to the ground and the saiyan was unable to get up.
"You Bastard"Goku screamed as he dropped to one knee,falling out of his super saiyan form.
"Daddy"Gohan yelled.
"Damn,that fat one is strong"Kami said
"Could he be draining Kakarot's energy?"Raditz asked.
Then they watch as suddenly Goku screamed in pain and started breathing heavily grabbing his chest.
"The heart virus "Gohan said .
"Damn,he took the medicine,right?"Raditz asked.
"No,he didn't take it"Gohan said
"That's crazy"Krillin said.Goku struggles to get up but suddenly he watches in shock and horror as Android 19 attacks Nappa from behind.Raditz and the others then were about to attack at him when "Those who hurt my friends...IS GONNA PAY " He yelled,as his muscles begin to grow and his power was increasing.His hair becoming longer and shiner.When the glow around him finally faded,the androids and the z-fighters were shocked.Goku was standing there in super saiyan grade two form(And for one more time if I say his power has increased to 300 million now).That form was something not even Raditz and Gohan were aware off.
"Android 19,use caution.My analysis say that Son Goku's power level has gone far beyond the manageable level.Avoid him at all costs"Android 20 said.
"Now,that is some emotion for a machine"Kami said.
"I had hoped to detach myself and enjoy my new body"Android 20 said"But now it is becoming clear that no planning can account for you lot,and the raw hatred I have felt for Son Goku is taking over fast"
Android 19 tries to avoid Goku,but he is simply too fast and too strong.He completely overpowers 19,and gets him into a full smack down.
" I ALREADY TOLD YOU...I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU "Goku said punching hard enough to send Android 19's head flying off.
"Yes, that's it "Raditz said with a smile but it faded as Goku suddenly collapsed "No, Goku "He screamed.
Raditz never called Goku by his earth name till now Kami thought This is getting bad
"Daddy"Gohan screamed as he tried to get to Goku but Kami stopped him shaking his head in no.
"It is time to end his pathetic life,Android 19 "Android 20 said .The z-fighters watch in shock as 19 was about to kill Goku but suddenly all too familiar flame crested black hair was seen as Raditz gasped.
"Vegeta"Raditz cried as Vegeta landed there.
He stood in front of Goku's collapsing body to stop 19 from killing him.
"What is he here for ?"Yamcha asked.
"As much as it hates to admit,Kakarot,ever since I came to this planet,the only reason I stayed here was you ...You were a low class warrior by birth but you proved that the class of a warrior is proved by his strength and not his birth.I accepted you as my greatest rival and you are losing to some heart virus,Pathetic"Vegeta said.
"I never expected Vegeta to say that"Kami said.Nappa smiled "Vegeta was never really evil...from what I can tell it was Freeza who made him what he was but now he is between his own people so he is getting better"He said.Raditz was shocked to here Vegeta say things like that.Vegeta then turned to 19.
"As for you fat blob,now you are fighting me"Vegeta said then turned to Yamcha.
"You...You will not help here much.I suggest you better take this idiot out of here before he dies"Vegeta said.
"Got it"Yamcha said.Vegeta finally looked at Goku "Kakarot,you stubborn fool.You did not realise that fighting as a super saiyan would only make that damn virus accelerate.If it was someone else I would have said that death justified for someone that could not handle himself ,calling themselves as a super saiyan,but I can't let you die by the hands of anyone else,we have unfinished business"
Yamcha gets to Goku and hoisting him up takes him away.
Vegeta smirks looking at 19 "Now tell me, Android ,can you feel fear?Cause I will make you".Android 19 and Android 20 are shocked as the clouds begin to gather around Vegeta as he hair starts to turn golden,a golden aura surrounding him.The z-fighters,especially Raditz watch in shock.
"His power is massive"Kami said.Vegeta finally completes his super saiyan form A.K.A super Vegeta form and desends on the rock.
"Now, let's begin shall we ?"Vegeta asked to 19 now his head reattached completely.The battle commences as everyone watches in shock as how Vegeta is just playing with the fat android.Android 20 could not believe it.Vegeta finally smiles and pulls his hands back
"GALICK GUN FIRE " Vegeta yells firing his special technique as Android 19 is destroyed.
"He actually did it"Gohan said.
"His power is even greater than Goku's was when he was fighting as a normal super saiyan"Kami said.Raditz was astonished by this display.
"Well...now that's settled"Vegeta said "Let's tend to the old man".He started looking around "Now,where the hell did that geezer go?"
"The one you call 'geezer' almost destroyed a city,Vegeta"Kami said "Your power is really appreciating,but your attitude could use some work"
"I am sorry,just who the hell are you Namekian?"Vegeta asked.
"That is Kami,and should speak to him with more respect"Krillin said.Vegeta glared at him "Or what,Bald man?You will beat me,please you couldn't handle one woman that she had take pleasure from someone else and think of talking to me like that"
"You...dare say that...it was because of you"Krillin snapped at him.
Raditz looked at Vegeta "Just what the hell were you thinking,Vegeta?You could arrived sooner and with power like that,you could have ended this within seconds,now because of you Kakarot might die"
"Spare me the hypocrisy,Raditz.I did not join for the same reason you didn't.You brother might be a clown,but he is still a saiyan,his saiyan pride is still there,even his halfling son can agree to that".Now that was enough to tick off Raditz.He tried to punch Vegeta,but the latter easily blocked it "Very well..."Vegeta said as a cruel smile grew on his face.Raditz's eyes widened as he recognised this as the old Vegeta.Vegeta counters and the two begin to brawl.They don't go super saiyan,but Kami breaks them by grabbing both of them with his hands like they are children.
"Knock it off,you two"Kami said,separating them."Dr.Gero...or better known as Android 20 flew north...that is where our friend from the future is.If we wanna catch Gero,we need to hurry,"Kami said as he took off with Krillin following.Vegeta and Raditz just stare at each other.
"Its not over,Raditz"Vegeta said as he took off after them.Raditz looked at Nappa,who had the look on his face of ' What the hell is going on here?'but Raditz just shrugged as they both took off.
Meanwhile,on the Capsule Plane,Bulma flies while Yajirobe sits next to her.Maron was told to sit on the back by Bulma as she was holding Trunks,much to the chagrin of the younger woman.
"Look,over those explosions"Yajirobe said.Bulma smiled "That must be where they are"
"Look Bulma,you saw what those guys did to my skycar.If you head that way,I will..."Yajirobe trails off.He hears baby Trunks laugh again "I will push that brat out of the plane"
"What?"Maron yelled in anger.
"Go right ahead"Bulma said with a smirk "Though don't come to my husband or me for help once Vegeta hears that you pushed his son out of the plane.."
"What?That Vegeta's son?"Yajirobe asked in horror.
"You landed right as we were talking"Bulma said.
"Trunks was talking about his dad,not..."Yajirobe stops as realizes the names "Oh no...please P-Princess Maron, Don't tell Veget-I mean Prince Vegeta,about this.I won't push your son"
"Very well,then"Maron said like a royalty as Bulma laughed and Yajirobe scowled.But suddenly theere is a really bad smell.
"Oh no..."Maron said.
"Uh...We are out of diapers, aren't we?"Bulma asked.She turned to Yajirobe "You heard me,give the Lady your scarf"
"What?Why?"Yajirobe asked.
"Well we are out of daipers"Bulma said.
"That's right"Maron said.
"No way!You guys are fucking rich,we can just buy from somewhere"
"We can...but then I will have to tell Vegeta that you did not help his son..."
"Dammit,stop blackmailing me.Fine here is my damn scarf but this is the last time"Yajirobe said giving Maron the scarf.
"Oh,chill out come on"Bulma said.The plane started circling around the battleground,but nobody was there.
"Where the hell did they go?"Yajirobe asked.Bulma looked at Maron with a smile who smiled in return and pressed a button near her seat.A translucent green screen falls over the cockpit,and a familiar noise rang out.
"What the hell is this?"Yajirobe asked.
"You remember those scouters the saiyans wore?The screen is basically just one big scouter tied with the plane's computer"Maron explained.There's several beeps and Bulma smiles again "There,heading north!Several humongous power levels,flying in one formation that has got to be them"
"Well,we might as well go home,now this thing can't catch upto someone like Goku"Yajirobe said.Bulma and Maron gave each other knowing smirks.
"You know that's not the only thing this baby can do"Maron said.
"What are you doing?"Yajirobe asked.Bulma smiled at him as she adjusted her seat belt.She pushes a button and the plane accelerates like crazy.
"Damn,Saiyan Engines"Bulma said
In the mountains way to the north,Trunks is flying town to town,looking for androids 17 and 18,but they are nowhere to be found,and he feels like he is wasting his time.
Dammit,what the hell is going on?What were with those two?Gero did say that android 17 and 18 are there,but where?Did...did it really change more than I expected? What more could have possibly changed?
The z-fighters arrive at the mountains,and take a look around,but not a single signal was there.Dr.Gero comes out and looks at Kami "You possess extraordinary power...you might be on par with those saiyans,I will drain away your energy and my work is complete".Kami just looked at him and then turned to his teammates "Everyone,this is just between me and him,please don't interfere"
"If you really want to die,big green,go ahead"Vegeta said.
"Kami,is that okay?I mean you saw what they did to Goku"Krillin said.
"That is true,but if Goku was not weakened by that heart virus,all of us would be having a good laugh about this right now"
Gero stares at Kami,but to his surprise with a quick solid punch Kami sends Gero flying into the side of a mountain.
Every contigency is accounted for...I simply lowered my guard that's all,he could not be that strong Gero thought.He attacked Kami again but the results were similar.He looked at Kami angrily "Impossible,I was much stronger than you.Even within the projections this should not be happening"
Gero attacks again and again but to no avail.Now getting even angrier and frustrated.The battle resumes,but it is all Kami could do show.Gero charges his right hand stretched trying to pierce through Kami's chest but the z-fighter grabs his hand inches before it can reach his chest.
"Greed is a very big sin,Android"Kami said "Aside from that,you look at power and strength only through numbers,you don't consider the years of experience a warrior gets from each and every battle.In your blind arrogance to rely on technology,you forget the spirit of a true warrior."Kami said.Gero tried to use his other hand to free himself,but no use.
"What's the matter?You're struggling,but aren't you androids supposed to be strong? "Kami said with a smile on his face.
"Now this is something I learned from an old friend"Kami said as a red aura briefly engulfed him "KAIOKEN "
He crushed the hand of Dr.Gero with no effort.Dr.Gero fell on the ground.
This battle excitement...it reminds...me of him Kami thought.
"Kaio...what?"Nappa asked.
"What the hell was that,Namekian?"Vegeta asked
"It means 'King Kai Fist'.It is a little and useful trick I learned from an old friend of mine"Kami said looking down at Gero.
"Amazing I did not know Kami could get this strong?"Krillin said.
"Now what are waiting for,end it.Or if you want I can do the honors"Vegeta said.
"I may have been this planet's guardian Vegeta but that does not make me soft"Kami said and then looked at Gero "History recorded this battle in your side,android.But it would seem that we have changed destiny,through our own strength and spirit,something which not even destiny can stop,let alone your technology"
Suddenly Gohan smiled as a familiar purple haired boy arrived there."Trunks"He said in delight.
Vegeta was shocked on hearing that name,he slowly begins to realize. He has the same name as my son...wait a super saiyan from the future...o-of course it has to be...he is my son from the future
Trunks stops next to Vegeta,staring down at Gero.
"You,Where the hell are 17 and 18?"Trunks asked,raising his hand as a energy blast began to form in it.
If this kid really is the son of Vegeta and Bulma from another timeline...then like these other saiyans,it would be obvious that he can also transform to those 'super saiyan forms' .And this one is much more battle grown,it seems.We predicted victory against two super saiyans at most,but with three now and this 'Namekian'as Vegeta called him and those other three Gero thinks.
"Hey, is that smoke?"Yajirobe asked.
"Yeah...looks like everyone is gathered there,though I am gettting seven power levels...but Goku's was numbered eight...Oh no"Bulma said realizing
"I hope i am not crazy,because I can see your mom and Maron along with Yajirobe and Vegeta's son "Nappa said.
"What?"Trunks asked turning around "Why the hell are they here?"
"It would seem we overprepared,Trunks,though it's all thanks to you"Raditz said
"Yeah,Dad did get the heart virus but Vegeta took care of Android 19"Gohan said
"Boy,Looks like your facts are as disappointing as your fighting skills"Vegeta said "Next time you decide to change history,please bring a picture"Vegeta said.
"He told us what they looked like,Vegeta.You would have also known if you had gathered at the time we all agreed to"Nappa said
"You Bastards"Dr.Gero yelled "Do you think its going to end with my demise?As a machine,I will not lie...let me tell you...Should I die by your hands,Android 17 and Android 18 will rise and destroy you all"
With that,he fired an energy blast at the capsule plane and took off.The blast hit the plane directly and smoke began to pour out of it as it began to lose its altitude
"What the hell was that?"Maron yelled in anger as Baby Trunks began crying as alarms go off in the cockpit.
"Calm down,we are coming in hot"Bulma said as the plane began spinning.
Everyone watches as the plane hits the ground with a bounce.It skids a bit,finally and they watch as Bulma climbs out with Baby Trunks in her hands.Yajirobe comes out and helps Maron out.Maron takes the baby and smiles as she sees Vegeta.She waves at him.
"Vegeta"She yelled.Vegeta just scoffed.
"Aren't you gonna help them? That's your son"Trunks said.
"If he is too weak to take a little bloody nose,then he has got nothing to do here"Vegeta said.
"But he is a baby"Trunks argued.Vegeta glared at him.
"But he is a weakling.He is my son,he has to be ready to get through all of this if he wants to succeed his father as the saiyan royalty.Not unlike some halflings I know"He said
Everybody else is checking in with the survivors of the crash "So listen,I have some news.Turns out that it was just last year that Dr.Gero transformed himself"Bulma said "While every scientist on the planet condemned that guy,no could argue with the fact that he was a genius"
"Gotta agree on that one "Raditz said
Bulma pulled out her smartphone and started swiping "And that's not all.I called up my dad once you guys left,asking him to look into the descriptions you gave us "She said to Trunks "Turns out,a few years ago,two notorious delinquents named Lapis and Lazuli just disappeared around North City...which is not too far away.Trunks are these those two?"She asked holding up the screen.Everyone gathers around.
Trunks clenching his fists in anger "Yeah...that one on the left...Lazuli... that's Android 18.I never got to know their actual names "
"She is really cute"Gohan said looking a the picture for some reason finding the girl really pretty.
"Got to agree with you on that one"Krillin said.Trunks shook his head looking at them.
"She is not really...once you gotta know her"Trunks said.
"You...you are a scientist.Where is Gero's lab?"Vegeta asked.
"First...where are my husband and Yamcha?Did something happen to him?"Bulma asked
Raditz and Gohan exchange a look."Bulma...listen.Kakarot is alive...it was just that during the fight,that heart virus Trucks had mentioned finally showed up.But my brother was so stupid that he got so strong that he thought he did not need to take it.Yamcha took him back home;do you know where the medicine is?"
"Yeah,he had given it to my dad.He sure was curious about it "Bulma said "Hang on,let me find out"
"But first,the lab,woman"Vegeta said.
"Chill out,she was just in a plane crash,Vegeta"Nappa snapped
"That's not my problem"Vegeta said.At this Maron came upto him with baby Trunks as the baby looked at the flame crested haired guy curiously
"Now, won't you wanna go to,Daddy?"Maron asked sweetly.Vegeta tried to ignore as he closed his eyes and turned away
But then opened his right eye and looked at his son.He then tried to look into his son's face causing his face to be very close to the baby.Baby Trunks was scared and started crying as Maron pulled him away and glared at the prince,as the latter was frustrated.
"That little brat"Vegeta muttered.
"Oh shut it, Vegeta that's enough"Maron said and then lifted the baby to the sky as he stopped crying and started laughing.
"Oh Trunks mommy's so sorry,Did Daddy try to scare you with his cheeky little face?"Maron asked as Bulma snickered and Vegeta scowled in anger.
"You happy now?You made your son cry"Raditz said.
"The lab?"That is all Vegeta responds.
"Right...they said it was near North City in some cave in the mountains..."Bulma said holding the phone to her ear.
"Dad?Yeah,how is everything?What they have? Where's Ranch and Bardock then?"Bulma asked.At this Raditz looked at her "No,no,no let those two play but tell them to not break anything.And Goku?Uh no its okay let him sleep"Bulma said.There were few sighs of reliefs let out"Look the plane crashed,So me,Maron and the baby are coming home...yeah,a few are coming.Uh...Gohan is and Nappa...and yeah keep the buffet ready...okay bye"
She hangs up and looks at Nappa and Gohan "Gohan,is there any way you can give mommy a lift?".Gohan nodded as Maron turned to Nappa who nodded at her.
Kami then turns to Trunks "Trunks...these two androids,17 and 18...what should we expect from 'em?"
"Well for one I can say they don't look like it but they are insanely strong,irrespective of their looks "Trunks said.
"Do they also have the ability to drain energy?"Raditz asked.
"Drain energy?No...no,that must be something Gero came up with.I have no idea why he decided to use other models...probably more changes to history
But 17 and 18...they instead have a limitless supply of energy"
"Bull shit,Boy"Vegeta snapped "You are trying to tell us that they have limitless energy.Oh come on,power of infinity is only a myth.It can't be possible"
"Well then they have a ton of energy,I am not to argue semantics"Trunks yelled back
"Say where did Gero go?"Krillin asked
"If he flew he would stick out like a sore thumb"Raditz said.
"That might be true,he probably went walking.It is exactly what even I would do if I were in his place,and he knows exactly where he is going"Vegeta said.
"The five of us should split up,that way we can cover more area"Kami said.
"Agreed...but Krillin.Don't mind but I think you should go with Bulma and the others"Raditz said.
"I am going to deny that,Raditz"Krillin said "I know I can't keep up with you guys...but damn,I can still help"
"Very well if that's what you want"Kami said "If you find anything,spike your ki to its zenith.The rest of you can go Super Saiyans.It will be like a beacon in the night.If any of you feel anything in the distance,head there...cause I don't think none of us is unaware of that drain"
"Correct"Raditz said.
Vegeta laughed as they looked at him"Just because you idiots are happy to see these walking,talking dustbins destroyed,does not mean I am too.I did not train for three years and knocked at death just to let the battle slip away.That robot was not a even a toy for the prince,and Dr.Gero seemed to have bitten off more than he can chew.I will find the lab...I can assure you but I won't destroy it...at least not till I find them "
"No, don't Kami is right"Trunks said blocking Vegeta's path off.But Vegeta glared at him and flew away.
"He is my fahter,I am not going to let him die,I will go after him"Trunks said and flew in pursuit of Vegeta.
"He is just like Vegeta,always risking his life"Maron said.
"Vegeta may be right"Kami said "In terms of regular power,Vegeta was stronger when they first fought and he was stronger than Goku as a super saiyan atleast...until Goku transcended to that new form.So,Vegeta is a lot stronger than Goku except that new form"
"But don't worry,he is just like his father so I am sure he knows how to take care of him"Maron said.Everyone nodded then Kami said "No more talking,everyone let's find out that lab before either of them"
And so Kami,Krillin and Raditz rake off while Gohan carries Bulma and Yajirobe and Nappa carries Maron and Baby Trunks and they escort them back to capsule corps.
While with the fighters,the three z-fighters are looking over the area.
"That's a lot to cover"Kami said
"Yeah...just stick to our plan,I am sure Trunks will hold up Vegeta"Krillin said "Oh and wait...the senzu beans.Ah,I am glad we have six left,so that's...one each two piece.I hope it won't come to this".He said,as he distributed them between the fighters.
"Remember,don't try to be a hero"Kami said and they split up.
Meanwhile,with Vegeta and Trunks
"Why the hell are following me?What,are you gonna tattle to your mommy?"Vegeta asked
"I will not follow you if you agree not to fight the androids.They are stronger than you think"Trunks said.
"And that's exactly why I want to fight them,idiot.Telling that to a real saiyan only makes it exciting.I still can't believe you have my blood and you are such a coward"Vegeta said smugly.Trunks sighed.
"God,What were Mom and Maron thinking?"Trunks mutters to himself.
In the canyons,Krillin is hoping from one cliff to another looking all over the place."Damnit,the one time I want an android and..."he said.He stops for a second,grits his teeth in frustration and is about to jump again when he is pulled down.Before he knows it,he is at the ground,screaming in pain,coughing blood from his mouth.He rolls over a little and sees Dr.Gero staring down at him.The doctor smiles menacingly as he glares at him.
"Make this easy on yourself,Krillin.Your power level is not even near to your other friends,you're useless"Dr.Gero said.Krillin smiles.
"Oh,useless?Does your data include this?"He said raising his hands to his eyes "SOLAR FLARE "
Dr.Gero yells and grabs his eyes,swinginga his arms blindly.Krillin however,flies straight up. "Alright,here it comes"He said as he screamed raising his power to its zentih.
Raditz and Kami sense and come in.
Damnit,this bald guy.How could that exceed all of my predictions.My visual scanners are on reboot mode.I shall have to navigate this wreck from my internal map...
With that,Dr.Gero slipped by again,but Krillin chased him.He stops as he watches the doctor enter a cave and hears metal slamming.Kami and Raditz also land.
"Good work,Krillin"Raditz said "Now let's finish this before Vegeta gets to hear about this"
"No stop,Gero ambushed me,but I got him with a solar flare...I wanted to finish him there,but this was more important.He got away,I tracked him all the way down here"Krillin said
Inside the lab,Gero grabs a remote and rushed to a large capsule with a label '17'
"Having to resort to two children..."Dr.Gero said as he pushed a button."But I don't have a choice"
He watches with delight as the capsule opens and with a thud lands Android 17,opening his eyes.Mechanically he stands up and notices Dr.Gero's hand.He smiles.
"Good,you are awake.Android 17"Dr.Gero said
"Good Morning,Dr.Gero.My chronometer shows it is May 12,767.Some time has passed since I last spoke to you.Thank you for awakening me"Android 17 said.
"Excellent,the new personality program worked.Now for your sister"Dr.Gero said,moving to a capsule labelled '18'.
"There are several people outside the blast door,doctor.Is there any problem?"Android 17 asked.
"All in good time"Dr Gero said,pressing a button on the capsule They watched as the capsule opened and 18 gracefully walked out of it
"Hello,Dr.Gero,It is good to see you again"Android 18 said
"Ah,So your programming has also worked"Dr.Gero said
17 looks at his sister and motions something with his eyes.18 only blinks at him in response.
"Dr.Gero,it would assist our analysis if we understood the reason behind our activation.Is that Son Goku?"17 asked.
"No,his comrades"Dr.Gero said.
"Damnit,this thing is really stubborn"Krillin said,pushing the door as much as he can.Raditz fires a blast at the door but it does nothing.
"Oh come one"He said in anger "Is this thing Saiyan proof or what?"
"Let me try"Kami said.
"Well,that will save me the trouble"A familiar voice said.They turned to see Vegeta smiling and a defeated Trunks(Defeated in a battle of words)raising his hands in his defense.
Whilst in the lab,Gero looks at the twins. "I want you to take care of them"Dr.Gero said.
"We will surely do that,But first,doc"17 said,snatching the remote from the doc's hand,"We really to need to discuss your trust issues with us"
Gero had a look of horror as 18 was looking around the lab.
"Is this a switch designed to deactivate us?Why would you need that?"17 asked,destroying it,"You stupid fool,you will never put us to sleep again"
"Why you...I AM YOUR CREATOR,ANDROID 17" Dr.Gero yelled at him
On the outside,everyone watches as Kami readies himself to fire an energy blast at the door.
"I am warning you,Namekian.Leave the androids alone,they are mine to take care of"Vegeta said.Raditz stood in front of him.
"Try and stop us"Raditz said.Vegeta glared at him "Now that thought is very tempting"He said.
"Don't listen to him,Do it Kami"Trunks said "Please take my word for it,it is either us or them"
"Shut up,boy"Vegeta said
They hear shouting and the words 'android 17'.Kami stops and gasps.
"Did you hear that?Android 17?!They are awakened"Kami said
"Out of my way,you idiots"Vegeta said raising his hand.He fires a big bang attack at the door.The door is turned to ash and as the smoke cleared,they see the androids.Trunks begins shaking in anger.
"Look at that,twins"Vegeta said "A dark haired boy,blonde haired woman,pretty attractive,both seem to be teenagers.Trunks are they the androids you told us about?"
"That's them"Gero said."These destroyed Android 19"
"You mean to tell me you activated two androids before us and they failed..?"17 asked "Tell me doc...why didn't wake us first?"
"Isn't it obvious,17?"Android 18 asked "Dr.Gero is not quite fond of 'unmanageable parameters' "
"19 was not like you"Dr.Gero said "He was like me,an energy drain type"
"Like you?I see, it's all clear now.You transformed yourself to Android 20"18 said.
"Correct,and now I order you to destroy them"Gero demanded.
"I don't think so"Android 18 said"If you ask kindly,but if you are going to keep ordering us like slaves,then forget it"
"What is this one,16?"Android 17 said "You brought us online...why not this one?"
"He is way too dangerous"
"Number 16?"Trunks wondered quietly.
"My sensors show he is inferior to me "17 said "I don't understand how he can be so dangerous...or why if that was the case,how come you did not dismantle him"
"Well, let's find out why he is asleep"18 said.
"No,stop.He is a great threat to the entire planet.He is a dangerous failure if he is awakened"Gero screamed.He grabs 18,but she turns around and pushes him to the ground,giving him a murderous glare.
"Don't ever lay a finger on a woman without asking her,you creep"She said
"Power up Number 16,sis"17 said
"I won't allow it"Dr.Gero said
"How?I have already destroyed your little remote"17 responded.
"I will just build another one and I will shut you both down forever"Dr.Gero said
"I will have to disagree to that"17 said,rushing the doctor from behind.The z-fighters gasp as 17 destroys the doc with an energy blast.
"Heads up"17 said,plainly.He jumps forward and landed directly at Gero's mechanical arm,and crushed it.
"Killed their creator...these really are monsters"Raditz said
17 smiled smugly and turns to his sister "Let's get on with it,sis"
"I have to disagree"Trunks yelled and let out a loose big bang attack.
"Run"Raditz said as an energy fills the cave.Another huge explosion shocks them
As the cave explodes,the z-fighters manage to fly to safety.They stop and stare at the mess.
"What a total waste of energy"Vegeta
"What are you talking about?Trunks destroyed those three"Raditz said.
"Just watch"Kami said.The smoke cleared and 17 and 18 are floating in the air simply staring at the fighters,standing with 16's pod.17 turns to his sister.
"The support systems were severed in the blast,we should activate him now"17 said.
"All done and dusted"18 said,hitting a few buttons on the pod as it opened and 16 floated out
"Damn,think the doc made him after the tower,tall enough?"Android 17 asked "So, what's your name,dude?"
Android 16 only looks at him.
"Hmmm,the big strong silent type, aren't you?"Android 17 asked "You are purely mechanical,I have seen never one of these models before.Why did Gero put you to sleep?He said we were 'done' if you woke up again"
"Why would he say that,he face is so cute just like a small child"18 said.The android is silent.
n
"Whatever lets go, its time to be on the move"17 said.
"Where?"18 asked with a raised brow.
"Isn't it obvious,where Goku is.Where else would we go?I bet that's why the doc created you,right 16?"17 asked.
"Correct"Android 16 finally replied.
"So he does speak"Android 18 said smiling "The old geezer must have designed him to only respond to pre-programmed topics"
"One is mention killing So Goku and he responds.We will soon find out what the other topics are.I am getting bored doing nothing,come on"Android 17 said.
The three androids start flying around.
Krillin sighes in relief.
"They can't be planning to do any good"Raditz said.
"Yes...they are heading away from North city
...almost in the direction..."Kami stops as realization hits him.
"West city.To Goku,We have to stop them"Krillin said.
"But why kill the doc and then fulfil his orders? What's the point?"Raditz asked.
"No onecares what their game is,Raditz?"Vegeta asked "These little bastards completely ignored me and they will pay for that"
Vegeta powers to his super saiyan form,but before he can go,Trunks stands in front of him "Father,please wait for Goku"
"Why would I wait around for Kakarot to roll out of bed?Once he is well,I shall settle with him as well"He said punching Trunks in the stomach and flew away.
Krillin tends to the boy "Please...you will have to stop him.I beg you he doesn't realize just how powerful they are,his life is in danger"
"Perhaps we shouldn't"Kami said.
"How can you say that?"Trunks asked
"I understand what you are saying Trunks but nobody stand in the way of Vegeta's pride.He surpassed Goku through his pride and now look he worked in a team which has robbed his pride"Kami said.
Suddenly,Krillin said "Oh no...Bulma and the others are heading there too"
"Then what are we waiting for let's go"Raditz said.
Meanwhile at the capsule corporations,Yamcha,Master Roshi and Oolong stand by Goku's bed.
"Look at his face"Yamcha said "He is getting some colour back,but if you listen to his breathing,and watch them in rhythm..."
"His temperature is 120"Oolong said checking a thermometer "Seriously,just what is he made of.How much punishment can he sustain"
"You are on to something,Yamcha.It is not as intense,but we have all watched Goku for years,whatever's going through his mind,he is literally fighting for his life,except this time it is his greatest opponent :Himself,But Goku's greatest strength is his will power...he knows the people are counting on him.He will pull through this"
Oolong looks at his almost dead friend,grabs a chair and stands on it.He takes a deep breath and starts yelling "Goku,this is Oolong!I want you to know that I have become the legendary super pig.And I am going back to my old,rotten ways using my power to get all the hot girls on the planet.If you want to stop me,you better get well soon, 'Cause you are not dealing with the average pork anymore' "
Yamcha looked at Roshi who just shrugs.
"Hey,what the hell was that about?
"Well its easy,Goku always gets up when he has to kick some ass.So it was worth a try"
On the road on the side of the ridge,the three Red Ribbon Androids wait.
"Why have we stopped?"Android 16 said.
"It would be fun to drive"Android 17 said
"Number 17, what's the point?The faster Goku is dealt with,the sooner can we get this over with"18 said.
"I differ with 17"Android 16 said "At full speed we would reach them in a matter of hours.Travelling by these vehicles would take three and a half days to reach at top speed"
"Hey,you weren't human like we were"Android 17 said with a smile "You see,when I was a kid,one of the things I liked most was having to wait to open the gifts mom and dad brought.This will pretty much be the same"
At the very moment,Vegeta lands and smiles.He goes super saiyan"Hey, Do you know where your children are?"
17 and 18 just stare at the saiyan with a look that says 'Seriously...us?'
"He is all alone"Android 17 said "Looks like the others got the hint"
"Enough of one not to try to stop me"Vegeta said "Which one of you mechanical brats wants to get their ass kicked first?The girl or the boy?"
Android 17 smirks "I should kill you for that alone,but you are far too amusing.I bet the people would pay to see this"
Vegeta's pose changes to his famous pre-Vegeta ass kicking pose."You brats better pick which one of you is activating your self destruct sequence,otherwise I will pick it for you.Although,to be fair I don't differentiate warriors through gender."
"Count me out"17 said "I had no idea it would so much fun waking up.The only thing better than crushing his spirit would be to watch out one of you two do it.What do you say,16?Feel like going for a test run"
"Negative"Android 16 said.
"Ha,atleast the giant metal scrap got the point"Vegeta said.
"Number 16,Is he seriously that much of a threat?"18 asked.16 glared at Vegeta and said "No,He is not Son Goku"
Vegeta's face turns to one of 150% humiliation.That metal scrap pushed the Goku button.
At this point Android 17,also begins to laugh "Oh,damn,16.No wonder Dr.Gero had not activated you.He might heal from the physical wounds...if we let him,anyway.The damage you just did will last till his after life"
"You,insolescent brats,You Dare make fun of me ? " Vegeta yelled,charging upto attack only to be met by Android 18 blocking him.
"Mr brother said he was having fun,not me "Android 18 said.
"Girl, don't think that a firm nice ass,curves and a pretty face can stop me from holding back at you"Vegeta said.
"Really,Well I was about to say the same"18 said and the battle began.
It is completely the same as the anime.As the z-fighters come and see the fight but 17 warns them not to interfere.
"Look at that,Guys"Krillin said"If Vegeta can keep this up,he will have her wrapped up without even breaking a sweat"
"No, That's wrong"Kami said "She is waiting for him to let his guard down,albeit in a different manner.Every assault he does...it drains out more of his energy.He is gonna run out of stamina if he keeps going all out...but the blows won't even move her.With infinite energy,all she has to do is wait"
"Then his life is in danger"Trunks yelled.He pulled out his sword and turned super saiyan.
"No,wait Trunks"Kami yelled,taking off after him.Raditz went super saiyan as well,with Krillin staying behind.
Trunks swung his sword right at 18...only to have 17 block it with his hand.The edge of the sword chips,and the rest cracks.Trunks gasped in horror.
"Kids should not play with swords"18 said.
Before 17 can act though,Raditz fires a massive Diving Shining Friday.However,17 notices that and moves faster than a bolt of lightning,but from his perspective it's complete slow mo video.He watches as 17 dogded the attack and flew parallel to him,smiling menacingly,he gave Raditz a strong punch in the guts and Raditz hunched over in complete agony.And to make it worse,Android 17 brought his elbow to Raditz's spinal cord.Raditz gasped for a moment,and he reverts back to his normal state.He fell to the ground,near death.
"Raditz"Krillin screamed in fear.
"No"Kami yelled as Vegeta took this oppurtunity to launch his final assault,but 18 grabbed onto Trunks leg and threw him right his father.The two saiyans are thrown back.Android 17 and Kami also begin their battle, with 17 being too fast for the former guardian namekian.He gets right behind Kami and with a push ripped both of Kami's arms.The Namekian screamed in pain and this time both vegeta and Trunks begin a father son assault at the androids.
Android 18 continued her battle with Vegeta,while 17 continues his fight with Trunks.And Trunks hits 17 a few times which were impressive but...ends with 17's arms pierced through his chest,the same as Yamcha's was.He is lifted to the air by 17.He said nothing as blood begins to pour out of his mouth.He glares at 17 but fades away.The android throws him to the ground and notices his arm.
And yes,Vegeta lost his arm.He holds it and screams in pain and agony.18 then sidekicks him.17 smiled walking over to him
"Like our big guy said,you are not Goku. One of the good set ups Gero made in us was exceptional hearing.Next time I suggest to listen to your teammates"Android 17 said standing on Vegeta's good arm and breaking it as well.Vegeta screamed for a brief second as his hair returned to normal.
"Strange...their hair does changes in colour.It seems these three possess the same power booster thing that Goku does.Seems like the doc did not account for this either.That might be why he lost"Android 17 said "Lucky for us,we have infinite energy to handle them"
Androids 17 and 18 rejoined 16 on the road.16 gazed at the distance,upset that birds were being disturbed.Android 18 suggested they find another road...since this is a bit of a backwater,and 17 agrees,with 18 wants to get some clothes.16 agrees as well.
"Stop"Krillin said,running to them.
"Krillin,you know you don't have near as much power as your friends.I would suggest you to give those senzu beans to your friends before its too late or if you want we can give you a taste of our speciality as well"Android 17 said politely.
But suddenly "Stop"Gohan yelled as he landed.Krillin sighed in relief as the three androids looked intrigued especially 18 at the arrival of the handsome young boy.Krillin noticed Gohan's hair was relatively short.
"New hair cut?"Krillin asked.Gohan shrugged
"Sort of"He replied.
"That is Son Goku's elder off spring ,Son Gohan"16 said
"So,Junior Goku.huh"17 said
"And a cute one in that"18 said.
"Don't tell me you have a crush on him"17 asked sarcastically.18's cheeks heated up briefly which no one noticed.
"You actually think"18 asked coldly.
"Whatever,So Son Gohan you want a fight as well?"17 asked
"I don't like fighting,just tell me,what do you guys want?Kill my dad?Or world domination?"Gohan asked.
"Well it is just Goku,nothing else,dude"17 said.
"He is quite the peace loving type,16.You and him could get along with each other pretty well"18 said.
16 did not respond.
"Now,it is time for us to leave.If you really want to save the life of your friends Son Gohan then you better do it soon"17 said.
Gohan glared at them and 18 brought her face closer to Gohan.She pecked him on the cheek "See you soon,Handsome"She said in a flirty tone.
"H-handsome?"Gohan asked in a almost frightened tone.His mom and grandma had pecked him on the cheek before many times but this feeling was very very different.Just what was this?For a moment all his anger had disappeared.He watched the androids take off and then turned to see Krillin looking at him with his mouth wide open in shock.
"Dude,she k-kissed you,for real.You got a girl...before me"Krillin said as he started crying but not really as Gohan sweatdropped.
But then they remembered about the others."Oh yeah,the others,Krillin"Gohan said.
They flew down and saw that Kami had somehow gotten up on one knee.He let out an angry yell and Krillin and Gohan were amazed as two new arms suddenly grew out of Kami's body.
"Kami?"Gohan asked not sure of what happened.Kami reaches into his vest and pulls out his Senzu beans.He eats one and keeps the other one back.
"Krillin you get Uncle Raditz"Gohan said "I will get Trunks"
"Right"Krillin said.He went to Raditz who was luckily still breathing "Raditz, it's Krillin?Listen,can you chew the senzu?"
"Not sure..."Raditz said weakly
"Here,eat one "Krillin said forcing one into Raditz's mouth.He chewed it and pulled himself up.They saw that Gohan had helped Trunks up and there was a hole in his armour.
"Now,Vegeta"Kami said.He fed the senzu to Vegeta.The prince pushed Kami away and turned away from the others with his arms crossed.
"How did you get here Gohan?"Trunks asked.
"Yeah and nice haircut"Raditz said.Gohan gave a small chuckle.
"Thanks,After we returned half way we stopped and mom gave me a haircut while in air, for real .Then Nappa got hold her of her and he alone took them back as I came here"Gohan said.
"But everything we did...it is now for nothing"Trunks said sadly
"Rubbish"Raditz said "Kakarot is still alive thanks to you,Trunks and you are far stronger then you were before since you landed here.Had you returned to your timeline then it would not even be sure that you would come back"
"I guess...you could say that,but those androids...they are much worse than I imagined "Trunks said "In my timeline one on one it might be a shot.It did not matter which one I fought,but the the other one would jump in the moment I seemed to win.And 17 and 18 were never away from each other...I figured at least with advance warning,that could have been denied.Judging by how easily we dealt with the other two,I convinced myself these two wouldn't be much"
"Then why bother try to stop me?"Vegeta asked.
Trunks ignored him and continued "But they are different,and much stronger here"
Vegeta only scoffed and flew away.Trunks was about to follow him,but Raditz put a hand on his shoulder.
"When your father gets this way its better to let him go"Raditz said.
"I am sorry I couldn't arrive sooner guys"Gohan said.
"I am sorry too I was here but I did not join in"Krillin said
"It is fine,Krillin"Kami said"Each one of us are million times stronger than you.You know the difference between bravery and stupidity"
"Right now these androids are greater than any of us.You four,return to Goku and take him somewhere safe"Kami said.
"How about the lookout?"Krillin suggested.
"No,it is not a good idea,Krillin,for the time being the lookout must retain its peace.I trust you all to see this out"Kami said"We'll meet again soon"
They watch as Kami takes off.
"Oh,Finally"Yajirobe said as Nappa landed at the courtyard of Capsule Corps.Launch came out to see them.
"Where is Raditz?"She asked with worry in her voice.
"The others had to stay behind,even Gohan went back to the fight halfway through"Nappa said"But don't worry,we creamed those androids for good"
"So, it's over?"Launch asked hopefully.
"We don't know"Nappa said unsure.
"But we shall find out soon enough"Bulma said
Bardock and Ranch also arrived there as Bulma hugged her son.They were talking when Yamcha came out running.
"Guys,Goku is getting better"Yamcha said.
"Really,is he awake?"Bulma asked hopefully.
"No but earlier...Oolong tried to motivate him.Somehow,it made its effect.His temperature has not gone down,but and he is looking a lot better."
"Good,keep a eye on him,Yamcha,let me know if he gets better or worse.Oh and by the way,I don't know where they have gone"Bulma said.
"Hey,Nappa can you give me a hand with Trunks?"Maron asked.
"Sure"Nappa said
"We take care of those things later on,c'mon I am starved let's eat"Yajirobe
"It's about time"Android 17 said,pointing to the parked van below the gas station "That will do good"
"A van,seriously,17?"Android 18 asked "With all the fun you are wanting to have,I figured you would something fancy like a ferrari or something"
"That's true"Android 17 "But a semi-truck would be best,because beggars can't choose.We fall in that category.Besides,Number 16 needs plenty of space"
They land as two truck drivers come out holding cups of coffee.
"Huh,Can I help you kids?"One of them asked.
"We need a lift,16"Android 17 said as they watched as android 16 lifted the truck and emptied the cargo area."
"Hey"The truck drivers yells as the androids get in the with android 17 driving.He starts the engine.
"Next stop,Son Goku"Android 17 said as 16 nodded.
"No,clothes first"Android 18 replied.17 sighed.
"Fine,the elder wins"17 said.
Krillin,Trunks,Gohan and Raditz fly as fast as they can,south to west city and Capsule corps.
"Hey,I think if these Androids know so much about us then we need a good place to hide Goku.I would say Kame House"Krillin suggested.
"Yeah,but from what you guys were telling,If they have been observing Dad and our family since the end of the Red Ribbon Army,we should find somewhere else which they are unaware of"Gohan said
"Anbody got any ideas?"Raditz asked.
"I know"Krillin said"Did Goku ever tell you about our run-in with General Blue?"
"Yeah,he did once"Raditz replied "Why you ask?"
."Well,the Red Ribbon Army used to have a base on the island that Blue operated out of.They've been defunct for years"Krillin said.
"That's not half bad"Gohan replied "Look we are coming up to my home"
They all land and Nappa greets them.
"How is dad"Gohan asked.
"Better"Nappa replied "Our old hermit said it looks Kakarot is gotten out of trouble"
"Good"Raditz replied "But for now we have a problem"
In an isolated area in the mountains surrounding North City,Vegeta is floating his arms crossed over chest blabbering nothing as he let out an yell and turned super saiyan
How could this happen to me?I am the Prince of the saiyans,and super saiyan or whatever,I should have been the strongest in the universe,That was my birthright.But some low class thuds and few children humiliate me like I am nothing.Is this really my limit?Can someone only get stronger through technology?No,that can't be,I can't be beaten so easily.Kakarot,you found a way to transcend the state of super saiyan,and now I am going to do that as well.No matter who my enemy is,they forget I am THE ALMIGHTY PRINCE VEGETA!
Meanwhile,on the highway the androids continue on their way.
"So,You do know where Goku lives,right 17?"Android 18 asked.
"No Clue"android 17 replied shaking his head for which he received a back slap from his sister.
"This is going to take forever"Android 18 said sighing
"Son Goku's house is at the Capsule Corporations Headquarters in West City.If we fly,we can be there much sooner"Android 16 said.
"You sure know a lot about Goku.Looks like doc made you a walking talking Goku encyclopedia"Android 17 said smiling.
"Yes"Android 16 replied.
"Knowing where he is spoils the fun"Android 17 said.
"The mission is to kill Goku,17.Not to go on a vacation"Android 18 replied.
"Sister,it is the little things in life that make it worth living"Android 17 replied.
Goku's evacuation at the Capsule corps begins as he is loaded into a capsule plane by Nappa and Raditz.Inside,everyone is scrambling onto their belongings,except Gohan,who is busy scrubbing away on some motorecycle engines,as punishment by his mother for running amok trying to save the world.
In the lab,Yamcha is helping Dr.Briefs pack a few things. "Hey,if we are all going,do we get a house for each or what?"He asks.
"Oh, don't worry about that.This entire building can be stored inside one capsule"Dr.Briefs said.
"Really?"Yamcha asked.
"Yes"he replied.
Bulma gets a message on her phone and is shocked at what she sees "Dad,have you seen Trunks,anywhere?"
"Uh...which one,daughter?"He asked confused.
"The grown up one,mine,I guess..."Bulma said.
"Oh,I will get him"He said going inside as Bulma called up Gohan there as well.
"What's the matter ,mom?"Gohan asked.Trunks come rushing in.
"Mom...I mean...Grand- your father said you wanted to see me?"He asked
"Trunks,just call us what you are used to.You guys are under enough stress...which is why I hate to do this "She said.
"What mom?"Gohan asked.
"I got an email from guys out near Ginger town.They said a couple of days ago they found one of our vehicles.I told them 'No we don't go anywhere there',but they kept insisting.Finally,A few minutes ago they sent me some pictures.Take a look"
Gohan,Trunks and Yamcha look at the computer screen.Trunks gasped "That...my time machine"
"It looks wrecked,but gotta admit,it looks the same"Bulma said.
"Hey,maybe the you in the future built another one and somebody else came back as well?"Yamcha asked.
"That could be,Mom.If the future you can build one,she can build two..."Gohan said
"No,she can't...It took my mom years to built One time machine.The was no time,no pun there,to build another one"Trunks said.
"Whatever it is, let's go check"Bulma said as Trunks and Gohan nodded.
As they walk outside to the awaiting plane,Yamcha and ChiChi are argueing while Yam-Chi is unwillingly working on her homework.
"I just don't understand why we can't go to our home"ChiChi said.
"Look,it is for the same reason we can't go to Kame House.The androids will try on anybody they can to get infromation on Goku"Yamcha said.
ChiChi looks at him angrily "After hearing all about Bulma and her fighter husband's crazy adventures,the last thing I want is my daughter to be a part of it"ChiChi said.
"She won't,believe me"Yamcha replied.
"Fine"ChiChi said frustrated as she walked into the plane
"Alright,everybody out?"Dr.Briefs asked.They all nodded in acknowledgement.He pulled out a remote and with puff of smoke everyone watched as the building is turned into a capsule.Dr.Briefs smiles and picks it up.
"Always knew this would be handy"He said stepping into the plane.
At the lookout,Kami is suddenly alert as he takes a deep breath.
"And this is the best you have in this store?"Android 18 asked.She looked at herself in the mirror,and she did not like the dress at all .Basically the same as the anime.
"That's right"The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.Android 18 shaked her head disappointedly and walked out of the shop.
"Hey...miss you gotta pay for the dress"
She walked right past him,and the attempts by the shopkeeper are fruitless.He can only watch in vain as she gets into the van and its off road.He calls the police.
In the van,Android 17 has a little laugh at his sister's choice.17 says they should now go for Goku but 18 wants to stop in the next town for clothes as well.They drive until they hear the sound of sirens.Android 17 drifts the van.
"17,What are you doing?"18 asked.
"Just gonna have a little fun"17 said
In the passenger area of a capsule plane,sit Trunks and Gohan discussing about the nature of the androids.
"I see So that would be how he made them even stronger in this timeline.Still,they took out Gero like he was some kind of play thing.Why would they turn their backs on him so fast?"Trunks wondered.
"Hey,we are almost there"Bulma said.
"Right"Gohan said standing up "Mom,Trunks and I are gonna take a look,you search for a good place to land,okay?"
Bulma nodded,and the half-saiyans exit and begin looking for the second time machine.Finally,Gohan is the one to find it and he gives a signal to Trunks to come over.Gohan goes to retrieve his mother while Trunks examines the machine.Then Gohan comes back with Bulma.
"It's definitely a dead ringer for yours"Bulma said "You sure there no way,the future me built another?"
"One hundred percent"Trunks said,approaching the time machine "But...I guess there is one way to confirm"
He started removing some of the mess that had built up on the time machine.He gasped in horror as he saw the word 'HOPE'.
"That settles it...it is my time machine...but mine is back at your lab?What the hell is going on?"Trunks yelled.
Gohan flew up and took a closer look at the cockpit "Hey,there is hole made on this"He said.Trunks went upto him.
"The way this is made,it had to come from the inside...why couldn't they just let it be open?"Trunks said,opening the cockpit.He climbed inside and took a look.He saw it-two half spheres seemingly strange.He held them up
"What is this?"
He gave them to Gohan who put it together "Mom,it kind of looks like an egg"Gohan said,flying down to Bulma.
"An egg? That's weird,I mean,the egg even more"She said looking at it "Usually eggs hatch,I have never seen one split in two"
In the time machine,Trunks looked at the capsule "I may have an idea why,so.Looks like this one came a year before me"Trunks said "And three years after I returned"
Gohan and his mother look at each other.This is confusing.
"I just wanted to return to the past I was told about"Trunks said.He has had enough with this damn changes.
"You want me to shrink this thing?"Gohan asked.Bulma nodded as Gohan pressed a button and the time machine turned into a capsule.Trunks picked it up.
"Hey"Bulma suddenly realized something"You know,we could probably salvage the components out of this one to fix the other time machine!It shouldn't take too long,either.I might be able to finish it in two weeks.Trunks...you can go home"
"It's nice to see something going right for a change.Still,I will be hanging around until those last three androids are turned to garbage"Trunks said.
"I am also taking this egg with me.I wanna analyze it"Bulma said.She noticed Gohan staring into the sky "Gohan,what is it son?"
"There is something here"He said,running off.Bulma and Trunks ran after him,but he stopped "You need to see this"
"Gohan,what did you find?"Trunks asked,catching upto him.Bulma gasped in shock.It was a huge brown insect looking thing.
"What is that thing?"Bulma asked.
"Ugh,It smells awful"Trunks said and took a closer look.
"Some kind of skin or shell"Gohan said "It is not a cicada or anything"
Trunks tried to reach to it but pulled his hand filled with pus."Eww...it is fresh"
"I bet this thing came back in that time machine"Gohan said.
"We should get out of here...I think"Trunks said.
"Don't need to tell me twice"Bulma said,running inside the plane.Trunks and Gohan also join her,and they are off to the sky.
What the hell is wrong in this timeline? Trunks thought to himself
"What kind of bug is like that?"Gohan asked
"No idea"Trunks replied "Not even in my time there isn't something like this"
"What bothers me is that the bug is lurking around for four years...why would it come back so early?"
"I have no idea"Trunks said "But I have a bad feeling about this"
Suddenly,an emergency message begins to broadcast.
"We interrupt this show for an update on one of the earlier stories.Approximately an hour ago,all contact was lost with Ginger Town,on the outskirts of West City.An investigation is currently underway,although we are still unable to make any contact with any resident of Ginger Town.We shall keep updating you as more information reaches us"
"What,Ginger Town? Isn't that where we just came from?"Trunks asked.
Bulma is worried and grabs her phone
At the abandoned base of General Blue's camp,The Capsule Corp. Headquarters now sit,with the Kame House near to it.
Inside,almost the whole gang is watching baseball,while Raditz is taking care of his sleeping daughter and nephew.The phone suddenly starts ringing.Nappa is up and answers.
"Hello?Oh,Hello,Bulma.Yeah,everything is quiet here,you husband is still under rest.No nohing,but...fine.Do you want me to put on speaker?Got it"He said,turning the phone to speaker mode.
Hey guys,sorry to disturb
But I just heard a scary news.Put it on Channel 737 and hurry.
Nappa followed her order,albeit a few protests. "Quiet,Bulma said we need to hear it"Nappa said and that was enough to shut them up.
They all become quiet as the news begins "We now have new information to report on the situation in Ginger Town..."
"The androids?"Krillin said angrily.
"Shut up and listen,Krillin"Raditz shut him up.
"Now according to the note our news producer has handed to me off air a moment ago,clothing of missing townspeople has been found littered over the area.One of our reporters has just reached there,we take you to the scene now"
They watch in horror as the TV changes the scene.
"Man,this is creepy"Oolong said.
"We are broadcasting live from Ginger Town where there are a few clues left to the fate of more than fifteen thousand residents who have seemingly vanished into thin air.But we have stumbled along something.There are empty outfits on the ground,as if to tell that the people who had been wearing them are all turned to dust.This rifle here is suggesting the townspeoe tried to defend themselves against whatever took them
"The androids"Krillin said angrily.
"No,believe me this is not how they work"
Trunks' voice said
On the lookout,Kami hears that and begins towards the ledge.
"Kami,please take of yourself"Mr.Popo said.
Kami turned to face Mr.Popo and Dende and smiled.
"Farewell"He said taking off to Ginger Town.
Back at the Capsule Corp hq,Gohan and the others have returned and are speaking with the remaining z-fighters.
"You really think that thing whatever it was...is responsible for all of this?"Krillin asked.
"Indeed,it is the only thing that makes sense"Trunks said.
"I would want to do some research on that egg"Maron said.Bulma nodded to her as they shared a little laugh
"It is the same time machine,sure enough,but right now we need answers "Trunks said.
"I wanna go too"Gohan said.ButBulma grabbed his ears and yelled "The ENGINES NOW "Gohan walked to the garage with a defeated look.Bulma smiled at Trunks.
"Hey,did the other me ever made you do anything like this?"She asked him.
"Yeah,a few times"Trunks said.He has had his share of degreasing one or two engines during his days.
"Then at least let me tag along"Raditz said as he stood up. "I am sure Launch is keeping my daughter and Bardock busy,Bulma and until Kakarot is up,it would seem we can do little but wait"
"Are you sure?"Trunks asked "Besides this could just be a dig in mud and if we are out...well"
"Ah, don't worry about it-First they gotta have to get through us.Besides Kakarot had told me something a few days ago,regarding Gohan"Raditz said.
"Really,what?"Bulma asked interested in what Goku told Raditz about their son.
"It is not important for now,but let me just tell you if anyone can get us of this mess,it is my elder nephew"Raditz said the last part in a whisper.
"What about Launch?"Nappa asked.
"Well,she has been itching to try that new grenade launcher"Krillin said "Who the world gave that to her anyway? Isn't there like a law or something?
"I have learned the hard way that it is best to not ask these questions"Raditz said smiling
He knew that tensions are up right now so a littleaugh won't hurt.He turned to Trunks "You ready?"
"Yeah"He said as Raditz walked out with him following.
Outside the pair turn super saiyans and flies off to Ginger Town.
Meanwhile,Kami landed on the top of a building and observes the completely silent Ginger Town.He hops down and slowly walks the streets,looking for any sign of life.Something is very wrong,and he knows it.He hears a snap and turns around.And he sees...
The Man,The legend,The Bug Himself :CELL
"Nice to see you...Piccolo" The monster spoke as he drunk the poor bald guy who was under his foot as Kami gasped in utter shock.

AFTERTHOUGHT
And,finally another chapter is over.I am able to somewhat give quick updates currently because I am indoors and there is not anything else to do exactly.There might be a few more quicker updates till the pandemic is there in India.
And now moving onto the chapter,it was basically just a filler chapter if you would say,not many exciting fights,but the glimpse of a future romance in the story Gohanx18.I mean 18 would have got a bit excited if she saw Gohan in the short hair as it was when he fought Cell.And as for other characters Goku reached Super Saiyan grade two but that caused the virus to accelerate.As for Vegeta I think he deserved more character development than Toriyama gave which I am gonna do.
And don't think that Son Bardock will just be a side character like Goten and Trunks were made in super.I mean Ranch will be like them but don't worry Bardock is not here to only fill the space of Videl's husband.He will have a very big role in the Multiverse Arc which I will do by myself,and that was non-canon,but who cares...
As for other things,I am thinking about how to do Goku's sacrifice moment.I mean he will not have instant transmission till those seven years leap.So maybe an instant Kamehameha or a lift up to the sky distant enough from Earth.Umm,We will see what I decide.Your suggestions will be very appreciated in the review section guys.And please do give more reviews,it feels good to read them and I get a few new ideas as well.
Until Next Time, UltimatemewtwoX.
