What is this? I managed to upload relatively quickly? I actually amazed myself how quickly i managed to get this one out. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Victor and Tien stood their ground. Neither willing to show any fear for this upcoming battle. Both men eyed the android Amazo. Who's body started to twitch. Almost like a human having an anxiety attack.
"It's whole body is running with Ki. It's not just affected the powers he's taken from you." Victor told the former assassin. "It's affected its whole programming."
"We've certainly made a dent, any more ideas?" Tien asked.
"It's has a micro control chip in its head. If we destroy that then the machine will stop operating. Though that won't be easy, it's heavily protected even without extra powers." Cyborg had a strong desire to surge forward. The three eyed warrior nodded as the two charged in. Amazo met them both in combat. Yet the android was unable to do anything meaningful. It's sub systems we're refusing to activate. Tien was the first to act, smashing his foe in it's forehead. Victor was next as he punched its gut. Followed by the two kicking it into the next room. Silas suddenly stood up.
"Victor, you have three minutes until the effects of that anti Ki weapon wear off." He shouted out with intent.
"Well then, I'll be sure to make it count." Cyborg softly responded to his father. Then turning to his partner. "Tien! Get my dad and Waller out of here!"
"Where are you going?" The fighter asked. Amazo got back to his feat. Locking hands with the former football player.
"I'm gonna finish this." Victor used his jet pack to launch him and Amazo into the sky. The machine attempted to stop his enemy, however Victor persisted. No matter how hard Amazo hit, no matter how much pain he suffered. Victor was seeing this one out. Smashing through the roof, then through the clouds. The higher they went, the colder it got. Eventually Victor's rockets were starting to fail. That's when he made his move. The cyborg placed a bomb on his opponent. Then punching him upwards.
"You... are only human." It whimpered.
"And I wouldn't have it any other way." Victor smugly replied, before setting off the bomb. The blast radius was huge, but it got the job done. Amazo was no more. However Victor wasn't safe yet. He was now falling with not rockets. The cyborg desperately attempted to fix his rockets. "Come on... come on." The desperation only increased as the number of feet he was at started to decrease. One second passed, then two. No matter what though he kept falling. As he started to see the ground, Vic closed his eyes. Accepting his fate.
The hero made a large thump as he landed. Though to his surprise, he was still alive. And still in the air. Vic was overcome with joy. As looked down. He had landed on the batwing in mid air. The cockpit opened as a happy looking teenager was seen piloting it.
"Looks like you could use a ride!" Robin joked, the two laughing in response.
"You don't know how happy I am to see you." Cyborg said in relief, stumbling into the cockpit. As the smoke from Amazo's explosion cleared, Vic felt a massive weight off his shoulders. No matter what, he would always be human. So maybe these enhancements weren't so bad.
.
Vegeta's grin was so large that it looked like falling off his face. The Super Saiyan squared off against Android nineteen. Vegeta like usual was bursting with his cocky attitude. Nineteen much like all the androids was cool and showed no emotion.
"There's something I've always wanted to know. Do you feel fear android?" Vegeta asked the robot. It was Gero though that answered.
"Nineteen is an android. It feels no emotion... no pain... no regret. It will not stop at nothing, until you've been decimated Vegeta." The Doctor ranted. Causing the prince to laugh out loud.
"Oh is that right? Well then let me help with that." Vegeta pushed his face forward, leaving Arthur bewildered. "I'll give you one free..." Before he could finish Nineteen attacked with a punch to the face. Though the Saiyan hardly moved at all. "My turn." The short man kneed Nineteen in the stomach before throwing it down. The android landed and the floor. The metal clanging, deafening the others. It rolled over as Vegeta attempted to smash his foot into it. Though it couldn't deflect the Saiyan kicking it across the ground. Gero meanwhile was unable to believe that this was happening.
"This... This isn't possible. I calculated your potential power growth based on five hundred factors. I even added an extra twenty five percent just to be safe. You can not be that strong!"
"Your plans are over Gero! So stop this battle and surrender!" Arthur instructed, aiming his trident at him. Gero gritted his teeth. This wasn't going to plan, but Nineteen wasn't out yet. If it could just get a grip on Vegeta it would suck all of his energy. Meanwhile the Saiyan approached his foe at a meandering pace. He even managed a yawn in that time.
"I can't believe Kakarot lost to a weakling like you! Though I do appreciate the opportunity to..." Once again Vegeta was unable to finish as Nineteen grabbed his right arm, and locked it in place. Gero screamed in delight.
"Yes Nineteen. Engulf his power, and make sure there is nothing left!" Arthur looked over to the ongoing battle. He was about to call out but noticed that Vegeta was unconcerned. It was as if he wanted it to happen.
"Well, we can't have that now can." The prince used his free hand to tear nineteens left hand from it's body with one chop. Then doing the exact same thing to the other one. The android fell backwards looking at his two missing hands. Before staring back up at his foe. His smirk now bigger than the gap between their power levels. "So? Do you feel fear android?" Nine scrambled backwards, not keeping his eyes off his enemy. Who outstretched his right arm. "Just what I wanted to hear. Big Bang Attack!"
One small sphere of energy rushed and blew into the android. Who's body exploded into several different pieces. The blast from Vegeta's attack caught everyone off guard. Arthur has to shield his eyes from the oncoming dirt kicked up from it. When the dust settled, Nineteen's severed head was the only thing left. Vegeta crossed his arms and laughed at his fallen foe.
"That wasn't even worth my time. Now let's move onto you shall we?" Vegeta whispered to himself, turning around. However Gero was nowhere to be seen. His smile soon disappeared. "Fish man! I thought you were keeping an eye on him!" The Atlantean shot him a glare.
"If you hadn't shown off and let that massive attack run wild, I wouldn't have lost him!" He angrily replied. The glared at each other momentarily, until Arthur calmed himself down. "Listen we're not getting anywhere like this. How about we meet up with the others and figure out where he's hiding." This idea seemed to enrage Vegeta however.
"You expect me to fly over and expect to receive help from those losers?"
"Listen, you'll get your fight. Does it really matter how you get there?" The Prince snarled like a hungry tiger. Yet he restrained himself enough to not take this any further.
"Fine! I can sense Triclop's energy. Now let's move!" Arthur though had a problem.
"Wait... I can't fly."
"And that's my problem... because?"
"Well, I'll need a lift." Vegeta's frustration grew when he heard what was being suggested.
"Oh no... I am not doing that! Go and swim there."
"Last part of the journeys on land. And no one else's here to do it. Listen... you like fish don't you?" This peaked the prince's interest. "Well I know this massive whale that's on his deathbed. You give me this lift and I'll make sure you have him to yourself." Vegeta grunted at the king.
"Get on." They grabbed on to each other's arms as Vegeta took off. "And he better be delicious."

Over twenty miles away, the fields were as silent as a mouse. With the exception of a traveller who was sitting down. This man was smiling, as he was under the influence of an hallucinogenic compound. All of a sudden a mysterious ship appeared out of nowhere. The wind suddenly spread out, blowing from the ship. And then the top opened and out stepped Trunks and Damian. Both teenagers looking past the horizons.
"Oh man this stuff is good." The traveller told himself all while having an uncontrollable laugh. The two time travellers ignored it however.
"So we're about twenty four hours early. Where do we go from here?" The grandson of 'The Demon' asked.
"I sense an energy signature over that way." Trunks responded, pointing at the coast. "I think it's my dad. Let's go!" Trunks hovered in the air. Earning an even bigger roar from the traveller.
"Hang on, I can't fly!"
"And that's my problem... because." Damian glared at his best friend. Until he started to laugh. Trunks then joined as the two grabbed on to each other's arms. "Then if that's settled. Let's go save the world."
.
Gohan was in full on panic mode. His dad was dying in his arms. All his friends were off fighting androids and he wasn't handling this well. His heart race was increasing by the second. His hands become so sweaty that he almost dropped Goku three times. Thankfully though the young boy could see Kame house in the distance. He smiled for the first time since he set off.
"Don't worry Dad, we're here." The boy landed on Roshi's beach. Sprinting to the door faster than even he expected. Goku was looking pale, he started to scream again. Surprisingly Gohan noticed that it was his mother who exited the house. The former fighter had since gained quite a bit of weight. Chi Chi took one look and screamed herself.
"Goku!" She blurted out loud.
"Get him inside!" Max ordered, appearing in the doorway. Gohan immediately did as instructed. The three of them carried Goku into the living room. Where they were greeted by an anxious Roshi and Bulma who was carrying a baby Trunks.
"What happened?" Bulma asked, staggering her words.
"He had a heart attack." Gohan answered. His father though was not doing too well. His condition was deteriorating. "Master Roshi, did you happen to find a capsule full of pills? They should be bright blue."
"Yes actually I did." The hermit said, rushing to his drawers. He took out a little capsule. Which when opened up revealed a bag full of blue pills. Roshi threw one to the half Saiyan who fed it to his father. "You know if I'd known they were Goku's I would have given them back. I actually thought they were..." Roshi stopped as he noticed Chi Chi glare at him. Those eyes could make any man shiver. "...something else." Goku screamed one more time, before passing out.
"Dad!"
"Don't worry, he's just unconscious." Max reassured him. "Son Goku is too stubborn to die." The half Saiyan felt extremely relived.
"Thank you." Gohan replied as he strolled towards the door. Before he could exit however, his mother grabbed onto his hand.
"Gohan, it's not safe." She pleaded with him to stay.
"Nowhere is going to be safe soon. I'm sorry mum, but I have to do this!" The boy flew off leaving both his parents. Chi Chi shed a tear as Bulma comforted her.
"You can't stop him. Kid has too much of his father in him." Bulma noted.
"That's not a good thing." Chi Chi responded.
"Then why are you and him still together?" Bulma went inside to check on baby Trunks. Leaving a lonely Chi Chi. The mother put one hand on her stomach. Wondering what the future held.

Victor sat outside the Star Labs building. The fire had since been put out by a bunch of fire fighters. Bruce was having harsh words with Waller. While Dick and his father were also speaking. Though in a much friendlier conversation. The cyborg looked down at his body. Even all these years. Having this body, it still didn't feel real. Victor's inner thoughts were disrupted however by a young boy.
"Can I get a selfie?" The boy asked. The former football player smiled.
"Sure thing." He accepted, Acquiring the phone. Victor took a couple of photos then returned the phone to his owner.
"Thanks. What you did was awesome!" The young boy ran back to his waiting father. Causing Vic to chuckle amongst himself.
"See you've started to gain some fans." Tien joked, sitting next to him. The young cyborg continued to watch the family, until they disappeared from view.
"Yeah, guess I have." Victor whispered as he turned towards his friend. "Hey can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"If you could alter events? Would you change what happened to your arm?" Tien was slightly surprised he was asked this.
"No... No I wouldn't. I wouldn't ask for it to happen again. But I wouldn't go back and change what happened either. This thing is a part of me now. And I wouldn't change it for anything." Victor looked down once more at his hand.
"Thanks Tien. That... means a lot."
"You have no authority!" Waller shouted out loud. Gaining the attention of everyone around them. "And I don't trust any of you."
"You lost control of your machine Waller. And I know you have more than one. Tell me who designed them. And maybe you'll salvage what's left of your career." Batman demanded to know. Waller squared up to him however she stopped, hearing Silas in the background.
"Amanda. You know what's at stake. If we don't help them, there won't be a US government to protect." Silas pleaded with her. The director glared at Silas, then back to Batman. Who was the only person not intimidated by her.
"Dr Ivan Gero. Former head scientist of the red ribbon army. Given amnesty for his crimes on the condition of supplying weapons to counter any potentially dangerous meta human activity." Waller confessed.
"Where is he now?" Batman asked.
"Sixteen Lincoln Street, Central City." Batman immediately got on his comms.
"Flash are you there?"
"Yeah, I'm here. Bit bruised but we're fine." Barry explained.
"What happened?" Bruce asked.
"Me and Lantern got in a fight with one of the androids. It got away however." The Dark Knight was very concerned about this.
"Can you track it?
"Maybe Green Lantern can?" Barry was more optimistic than sure.
"Then get him on that. I'm sending you an address. Can you meet me there in five minutes?"
"Bats, it's me we're talking about. I could get there in two seconds."
"And yet somehow you're always late."
"Fair point. I'll see you soon." Bruce hung up, as he strolled over to the batwing. "Robin you're with me. Cyborg try and regroup with everyone."
"You think he's going to be there?" Cyborg questioned the Caped Crusader.
"If he's smart then no. However it might lead us to where he is hiding. At that point it will be up to you lot to find him." Bruce replied. The former football player nodded as he watched the Batwing take off in the sky.

Reviews:
MeteorElDrago: Pairing yet to be decided.
x3runner:
1: I love cyborg too.
2: Yeah I love Dragonball but they always seem to follow the same formula. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. but it can get stale. Granted in the Last 2 Arcs and the broly movie they have tried to shake it up. With varying degree of success.
3: For the gods i've meshed the two together. I hope my world building is good enough.
4: Trunks in my story originally had black hair. But he dyed it blue to honour Bulma.
5: Thank you. I always try to give 100% every chapter.
Sailordragonball87:
1: Believe in the bromance
2: They might return
3: I know i'd react like that.
Guest111: It was too good an opportunity.
