"Let's hit him with everything we've got at once. His body can't hold out forever!" Goku yelled out, igniting a golden aura and spiking his hair up in a flash. All three warriors took off charging at the Ultimate Android at once, shuffling in between one another to throw him off his senses and to confuse his Data Input ability.
The Ultimate Gero redirected Goku's smashing hook and jabbed into the Super Saiyan's face, throwing him off of him momentarily while he dealt with the other three. Ducking under Bardock's high kick, the Ultimate Artificial Human smashed his fist in an overhead swing, crushing Bardock to the ground and releasing a spraying shower of magma from underneath that soaked Bardock from down below and left him with scrapes and burns all over.
Yamcha burst with a King Kai's Fist flash but the Ultimate No. 20 crossed his fists up over his head, becoming a stone wall to Yamcha's rapid flurry of punches before backhanding him aside. The bulky Artificial Human leaned aside to dodge Goku's dashing punch and grabbed the Super Saiyan by his ankle, swinging him about like a mace and thwacking everyone aside away with Goku's body. When the other rushing warriors flew aside, the Ultimate Android tilted Goku over his head and smashed him into the ground.
"A creator that puts his life before his offspring's deserves death!" the Ultimate Android bellowed and raised his foot up for a devastating stomp, but Bardock came in roaring and swinging his fists, looking for trouble.
The Ultimate Gero repurposed his stomp into a push kick and socked Bardock aside like a pain-ridden rag doll before lighting up with a warm red aura and taking off in hot pursuit of his opponent. The Ultimate Android's fists danced swiftly like never before, overwhelming and absolutely battering the semi-converted Saiyan to the point of limpness. Scooping up Bardock's head, the Ultimate Android smashed it face-first into the ground and tilted his leg up for a finishing stomp but Yamcha, shimmering with the scarlet aura of King Kai's Fist x 100, tripped the Ultimate Android up with a chop block from behind.
Grumbling, the Ultimate Dr. Gero scrambled to his feet, swinging his hand with a loosely shaped Ki heat wave that made Yamcha cover-up and singed off his clothes, overwhelming the fighter and sending his bruised body slamming into a faraway glacier. Panting, the Ultimate Android looked around him, seeing nothing but broken bodies and grunting warriors waiting to be finished off.
Based on the input from his radar, Yamcha was a hair's length away from dancing the devil's swing already. He'd pose no further trouble because of his own recklessness in turning to the King Kai's Fist x 100 when his body was in such a grievous condition already. The Ultimate Android breathed easier, realizing that despite his wrath-driven lashing out, Yamcha survived the energy blast even if barely so. Goku may still have been trouble as the Saiyan was slowly picking himself up and peeling his bloodied face off the smashed and ground, diamond-dense ice. Bardock was battered like a bag of smashed bones, though his artificial enhancements and unmatched call for brutality may still bring him back for a final round, or so the Ultimate Android's sensors warned.
"Ka…!" Goku put his hands together and drew them back, focusing all of his remaining Ki into a single wave. "Me…!"
"You've tried that trick already, Son Goku. It didn't work before," the battle-worn Ultimate Android reared a sadistic smile while slowly approaching the shaky Super Saiyan channeling his signature technique. "Ha…! Me…!"
"Pathetic, begone!" the Ultimate Android closed the distance between him and Son Goku in a blink, vanishing and appearing before the last Super Saiyan standing in an instant before grabbing him by the throat and lifting him over his head. The muscular cybernetic warrior straightened his hand like a living blade and drew it back to pierce Goku's heart.
"Big Bang Attack!" a yell came from behind and before the Ultimate Android could turn around, a golden gleam enveloped him whole, creating a dome of radiant destruction around him. A feeling of weightlessness took Goku over as he plummeted from the Android's grip. He had to win, he had to destroy this last Artificial Human and finish that accursed conflict because he was the last Super Saiyan standing!
A second wind blew through Goku, giving him the strength to stiffen his muscles and catch himself mid-fall, drawing his hands back and resuming the channeling of his technique that has been interrupted. "Super Kamehameha Full Power!" Goku yelled out, thrusting his hands out and piercing through Vegeta's golden dome of the detonated Big Bang Attack with a pillar of azure energy that shaved off the entire planet's surface and beamed out into space. With his hands shaking and his clothes blown off, his body covered with bloody scrapes, burns, and bruises, Goku staggered out from the smoke and collapsed on his knees, clutching his abdomen.
Somehow, wincing with his right eye, the Super Saiyan looked up and acknowledged Vegeta's arrival inside of a shuttle that Bulma had undoubtedly beamed here in a way similar to how Gohan, Videl, and Krillin arrived on this planet earlier. Knowing that he wasn't the last warrior responsible for defeating this absolute monster of human genius and technology combined gave Goku a sense of relief because he had never been so unsure if he could do it and pull off a win in the end like he always did.
This monster was simply far beyond their world of power.
"Vegeta… Thanks for the save," Goku snickered sheepishly when Vegeta descended and dropped Chayote's limp-looking body on the ground. "Is that…?"
"Shut up, Kakarot. This is the last chance we've got to beat this asshole. This machine has embarrassed me enough times to know that not even after another near-death experience I can stand up to it. Not to mention, you three somehow pissed it off and drove its already wild power even further. Now I'll have to do something really risky to make this work," Vegeta clenched his fists, sweating from his forehead. It was self-evident that whatever Vegeta was considering in his mind was not only a risky shot but also one that Vegeta wasn't overly fond of taking, which was intriguing all of its own.
"Heh, heh… Vegeta… You sure changed since coming to Earth. I'm not sure if you'd have ever hesitated before employing a dirty strategy. You don't have to do this, you know. Bulma said that Gohan has a plan and that it's going to work for certain. We can fight together and stand our ground for a bit…" Goku wheezed out before Vegeta turned to him and backhanded him down and on his back.
"Shut up, Kakarot! As if I'd ever fight alongside you… Besides, there's no way that we'll stall this beast long enough. We need at least twenty more minutes before Gohan's strategy pans out and you're timed out already. That's the only reason I pulled the Legendary Super Saiyan away from her healing before it's finished and came here. The two of us are the only ones that can pull this off, but it'll be risky. Not to mention dirty as all hell…" Vegeta clenched his teeth and fists, stiffening up his entire body. "I've no doubts that you'll bitch and moan to me about it as you've done earlier, Legendary Super Saiyan, but this is the only way we can turn the tables on this asshole, so just shut up!"
"Vegeta… What are you…?" Goku hissed out, laying knocked out on his back through extreme physical pain.
The King of Saiyans extended his right hand and formed a shimmering Power Ball hovering over his hand. "Wake up, you hysterical bitch!" Vegeta yelled out and kicked Chayote's unconscious body in the gut, rolling her aside on the ice before tossing the Power Ball into the sky. The King of Saiyans clenched his fist and allowed the Power Ball to burst into a shiny nova of unmatched luminosity as he scrambled to approach Chayote and scoop her limp body off the ground. Peeling her eyes open forcefully, the King of Saiyans raised her up to look at the moon while hydraulic, thunderous steps began emanating from the smoky pillars of blazing destruction left behind from Vegeta and Goku's combined full-power attack.
"Vegeta… I thought I told you clearly enough before…" the Ultimate Android walked out while wiping the trail of unidentified bio-fluids off his lips and mustache. His face had been cracked open and his chest was completely covered in black bruises from the intense point-blank, full-power Kamehameha while his guard was down. "You're a yapping puppy squealing in the world of dragons. And here I thought I've killed you off for good after leaving you to die alongside Jupiter…"
"You can stop wasting your breath, Gero," Vegeta smirked with a cocky smile while holding Chayote up and pointing her gaping mouth and rolled back eyes at the Power Ball. "I'm not going to be your opponent. She is!"
"Chayote? But she's as good as… Wait a second… My sensors indicate the reading of 19 million Zenos of Blutz Waves in this planet's atmosphere. This level is highly unnatural, I've never picked it up before…" the Ultimate Android gazed at the shimmering nova of the Power Ball over his head, instantly identifying it as the source of the Blutz Waves.
It was then that the full realization of Vegeta's dirty plan came into the Ultimate Android's mind in a swift snap of terror that permeated throughout his whole beefy body. Before he could intercept, however, Chayote's body began to bubble up with unnatural shifts of flesh and blood that began boiling up inside her. Her rolled-back white eyes turned blood-red and her teeth began elongating and sharpening before their very eyes as the unconscious Saiyan slipped out from Vegeta's grasp and began orbiting vertically in mid-air, curled into a fetal position as Chayote bulked up and began manifesting luscious brown fur.
"What in the world…!? The Great Ape transformation? But Puri's notes state that this is a harmless transformation compared to the Super Saiyan as it merely elevates a Saiyan's battle power by 10, in exchange for the Great Ape losing its mind and control…" the Ultimate Android blabbed to himself in amazement while observing Chayote gaining size and bulk hundreds of times in mere seconds before taking a stout stand as an energetic and berserk Great Ape, roaring out with volume that escaped the planet's atmosphere reached deep into the cosmos.
"That might have been true, but your wife may not have been aware of a curious fact that I've discovered when fighting Cooler–a Saiyan can transform into a Super Saiyan while they are in their Great Ape form, resulting in a Super Saiyan level boost in battle power on top of their Great Ape battle power!" Vegeta pointed to Chayote. As if on cue, the Great Ape stumbled backward, grabbing its head and roaring out in all directions with concussive sound waves that shook the ground and began collapsing the surrounding glaciers with the sheer volume of the roars alone.
"Wh-What!?" the Ultimate Android staggered back with his usually deadpan eyes gaining energy and color to them with the first manifestation of terror in the heart of the Ultimate Android. "B-But… You forgot the Saiyan needs to have the will to transform into a Super Saiyan. Meanwhile, Chayote has completely lost her mind!"
The Ultimate Android made this observation upon seeing Chayote scooping up a ruined glacial mountain and smashing it over her head before thrashing about and stomping everywhere all at once. The vociferous titan appeared infuriated by the fact that it couldn't destroy all that it could see and smell, no matter how much it tried to. It seemed to be far too enraged at the very planet hosting it to focus its forces on the Ultimate Artificial Human. However, with a snap of Vegeta's fingers, the Great Ape froze in place with wide eyes and muted its bestial snarling.
"And you forget that as the King of Saiyans, someone who has royal blood pumping through his body, I can control all Saiyans when they are in their Great Ape form, like so…" Vegeta snickered before transitioning into a burst of full-on laughter.
Great Ape Chayote released a resonating roar far out into the universe as the entire planet cracked and trembled, vicious fissures split its surface apart with abyssal cracks through which only warm light of resident magma deep down below could break through. Rays of golden luster began breaching through the fibers of Chayote's muscles, forming a radiant aura comprising jets of shining energy beaming out in all directions and rotating around her. Building-sized icy boulders began tearing off from the ground and floating off into space with shooting velocity as the Great Ape became stiffened by the surge of power overflowing through its body.
In a single, resonant burst, the entire planet's surface crumbled and began splitting off and flying off into space as the gravitational laws of the planet became twisted into shambles. Coursing halos of electricity began rising, passing right through the electromagnetic atmosphere and causing wild sparks to shoot off in every direction all around the planet. The luster of the Great Ape transformation made the Ultimate Android cover himself up from the luminosity of its shine as his face trembled in genuine fear of what would come out of this transformation.
Great Ape Chayote's bestial features became more pronounced and her muscles stiffened in even greater tonus, her brown fur began turning gold on sight before adopting a more lime-colored shine to it. Even Vegeta was stunned seeing the unique transformation only available to a once-in-a-thousand years legend. The shooting off into the atmosphere, boulders of diamond-hard ice began smashing into the roaring Great Ape and shattering into shrapnel, but they couldn't as much as scratch its adamantine body. Before the beast could let out its first legendary roar, a few floating glacial platforms obstructed its glorious form.
Rushing to identify his foe, the Ultimate Android scanned the surroundings with an eye laser beam, reducing the glacial continents floating in the air to rubble with no effort so that he could get a look at the splendid, lime-furred titan who stood a few times more colossal than even the Great Ape monsters in Puri's records. It was as if the Great Ape hadn't gone Super Saiyan but Legendary Super Saiyan instead. A shiver ran down the spine of the terrified Ultimate Android as, despite his muscular and polished body, he felt powerless against the static, snarling monster of Saiyan legends.
"What's the matter, you Ultimate Toaster?" Vegeta laughed out wildly, sensing the tables being turned and realizing that they finally had the upper hand now. "From what Bulma told me, the Legendary Super Saiyan was a match for you in strength. You must be really shaking now that she's powered up tenfold, huh? No matter how much you wriggle and how much you seethe, how much you swell up and rage, nothing can cover for a difference in battle power this drastic!"
"Be silent, you fool," the Ultimate Android turned to Vegeta with a scarlet glint in his eye. A sharp eye laser split off from his eye, homing in on Vegeta's heart. However, instead of punching through Vegeta's chest and snuffing him out in an instant, it instead met the open hand of the Legendary Great Ape monster and was reduced to a meek trail of smoke, just leaving a dot-sized burn on its vast surface.
"As expected from the supposed genius that Bulma revered," Vegeta closed his confident eyes with a cocky grin. "It took you no time at all to figure out that, if you killed me, we would have no more control over the Legendary Great Ape and it would do whatever it wants to. However, as long as I'm alive and the royal blood pumps through my veins, you'll have to go through the Legendary Great Ape to get to me."
"Hmph… In that case, I'll just have to rip your resident monster to shreds with my ultimate body!" the Ultimate Android exclaimed with a face twisted by madness as he lit up with a warm red aura and took off charging like a tiny red pixel straight toward the snout of the colossal Legendary Great Ape. Just as the Great Ape opened its mouth to fire a mouth Ki blast, the Ultimate Artificial Human crossed his arms over his shoulders and plunged down like a needle.
In a thunderous stomp, the Ultimate No. 20 stomped the foot of the massive monster, making it grumble and bellow as it curled its foot up and began hopping around on one foot. Lighting up with the red aura and swelling with wrath, ironclad about not being undone by such a monstrosity, the Ultimate Artificial Human thrashed and flew around in an invisible rampage followed by a heated trail of red as it punched and butted against every spot of the massive monster it could tackle in its hectic flight.
"Now, for the tail!" the Ultimate Artificial Human declared, landing on Chayote's tail and grabbing hold of it. The Ultimate No. 20 did a few good yanks and lit up with an aura so intense that it measured up to a quarter of the monster's size as his muscles swelled up with rampant veins and his teeth nearly shattered out from his mouth from the effort he put into pulling the tail off of the Legendary Great Ape.
"Crap!" Vegeta gasped in terror, whiting out after realizing that despite possessing a previously unseen dimension of power, the Legendary Great Ape could have been undone just as simply as the ordinary Great Ape.
However, the colossal beast did not move, nor did its tail. With a simple whip of its rear attachment, the Legendary Great Ape monster flattened the grappling titan on the ground face-first and got him off its tail. Wasting no time, the goliath sat down on its prey with a light hop and smashed the Ultimate Android inward, crushing the glacial continent the two floated over as the stunned Ultimate Android began plummeting in freefall from the wreckage.
Gero's eyes blinked a few times, slowly, as his mouth just couldn't shut from loosely hanging ajar. It was as if his entire body had gone numb in an instant. How? How could he be pushed so close to defeat by some brutish, giant monster? Was this truly to be the end of the Ultimate Android? One thing was for certain as the limp brute plummeted into the ocean of magma below, the Legendary Great Ape put the fear of its end into the Ultimate Artificial life form more effortlessly than anything else could.
