Vegeta stared at his current opponent with a smirk, he knew he could win easily against this android but he wanted to enjoy the battle with his newfound power. After all, that would be the point of his training if he just finished the android off right away, no he'd much rather savor the fear and despair of the android when it finally realized that it declared it's death when it crossed paths with him. Looking to the side briefly he watched as the frost demon and the young Saiyaness began their assault on the other android, Beams of energy firing from his eyes, the two easily dodged the attack before rushing the android throwing a barrage of fists and kicks. Vegeta found it amusing, the two seemed to be holding their own but it mattered little, in the end, they were just a distraction, he'd be the ultimate victor in this conflict with his power alone.
The large foe before him cackled madly before it flew towards him at high speeds ready to land the first blow, however, Vegeta did not move a muscle smirking with proud eyes as the android landed a firm punch directly to his face. Grimoire and Caulli turned to see what had happened both staring in disbelief, the android they faced also turned his attention to his comrades' seemingly effective blow to the super Saiyan smirking with delight. The other Z warriors were left speechless but Android 19 gave them no time to process their thoughts as it continued to wail on the static super Saiyan not countering a single blow, with a final head butt he made Vegeta take a shaky step backward head knocked back.
"What the hell are you doing Vegeta!?" Grimoire screamed, unable to believe what he was seeing before him trying to understand the actions of his ally, why would Vegeta let himself be bashed around like a ragdoll the prince was far too stubborn and prideful to just let his opponent get a free hit so why was he not fighting back!?. Android 19 laughed in delight at is effective to attack his second super Saiyan today despite the unexpected transformation it looked like their victory was assured. Vegeta then moved his head down his face with small scratches and a small line of blood leaked from his mouth still wearing that smile like nothing had happened "Just as I thought you are nothing" he said the android eyes going wide seeing the lack of damage on the Saiyan "Silly robot do you really think you stand a chance against a super Saiyan like me, your brain must be malfunctioning" he remarked snarkily at the android.
Grimoire's hands shook in anger at Vegeta's theatrics in the middle of a fight, this was a fight for the safety of this world, not his playground to do what he likes just because he's a super Saiyan doesn't mean he gets to mock around!. At least he knew this meant that the android posed no major threat to Vegeta aside from its power draining ability, the frost demon spent enough time with King Cold to see when someone was completely outclassed. Also since Vegeta had seen what happened to Goku he's won't fall for the same trick at least as long as his pride didn't make him more careless. Vegeta continued "Fresh out of the factory with no warranty and already broken, what a pity" Android 19 took a step back cautiously as the prince moved forward before he sent a thundering kick into the android's stomach letting out a scream before following up with a strong elbow to it's face.
Android 19 flew back before Vegeta gave one more kick sending the metal menace slamming to the tumbling a few feet, everyone was shocked at the ease that the prince had dealt with the android making all look effortless. Grimoire looked to the other android who watched shocked at the current battle "Looks like Vegeta really can handle them on his own…" he thought. Vegeta walked to the downed android stopping looking over it as it repeated "Malfunction" over and over "What do we have here, oh yes the ultimate tub of lard bucket of bolts!" he proclaimed, suddenly, the android in a blur of movement got to its feet and leaped at Vegeta who merely moved out of the way and countered slamming his feet into its chest sending it hurtling into the sky.
Vegeta flew up to meet the android who stabilized his flight staring at the Saiyan with fear at how effortlessly every attack it threw was countered "So are you scared yet Android?" Vegeta smugly asked as the android enraged threw punches at the Saiyan before he landed a punch to its face causing the android to leak oil from its mouth and nose. Vegeta smiled "Looks like you got an oil leak what a bad deal, such a fragile unit," he remarked the android replaying by shooting firing eye beams which were dodged easily Vegeta slamming down the android the others getting out of the way as it crashed creating a small creature. Flying down Vegeta walked to the android now submerged within dust and rock "Despicable, what a useless machine…" was all he said before the android opened its eyes and grabbed the Saiayn's wrists with his hands.
"Vegeta no!" Caulli yelled in horror as the android chuckled happily looking forward to draining Vegeta dry as it did to Goku, the other android smiled smugly at the turn of events Android 19 had won and by draining the new super Saiyan they'd have no more opposition. " I have you now and soon I will have all your energy" Android 19 said laughing as Vegeta continued to smile at the android while everyone watched shocked at the turn of events "Do not try to escape yes?, it is useless until I absorb all of your energy I will never let go" Android 19 declared as he chuckled at his fortune.
Vegeta looked down at the android still wearing his smile "Never huh let's see about that" Vegeta jumped placing his feet on Android 19's face and began to push the android back arms still clinging to the Saiyans wrist no sign of letting him go. Despite it's resistance to his efforts the android was being pressured as it continued to be pushed back "I'm impressed android your true to your word, but never can be a long time android!" Vegeta replied as he put more force into his legs Android 19 grunting and the sound of stressed tissue and metal echoing from the crater. Grimoire watched in awe at the strength Vegeta demonstrated even being drained he still had plenty of energy left over to place the Android in distress, Caulii also watched captivated by the power of a super Saiyan part of wanting to reach that plateau of legendary power.
Android 19 was struggling to hold his grip as the prince's resistance did not falter for a second and he kept raising the pressure "Something wrong Android you seem to be under a lot of pressure, still think you can hold on long enough to steal my energy?" Vegeta asked with a grin as the hands of the androids shake around his wrist doing it's best to hold on to drain all his energy "I will...never let go!" Android 19 grunted "Yes that's the spirit android, never say die!" he yelled as with a sudden use of force pushed against the android's grip one last time tearing the hands that gripped him off Android 19 body a series of sparks sputtering out of his arms losing his limbs. Stumbling back onto the crater wall Android 19 looked at his arms in horror as oil gushed out having lost his only means to drain energy.
Vegeta walked to him triumphantly his smile ever-present through the ordeal, everyone looked on shocked at what they just saw with little effort through his energy was being drained Vegeta had now turned the tables once more - or in Grimoire's eyes the match had always been Vegeta's to win the prince merely seeing the scuffle as a game. Vegeta took of the hands examining the red glass center on the palms"So these are the devices that you androids use to steal other people's energy" he said Android 19 staring in terror at the super Saiyan before him "What's the matter your the one who started this game and now you don't want to play anymore?" he asked the machine as he threw the hands to the ground " You were enjoying yourself before when you were draining the life out of Kakarot" he remarked before making his way to the android who began to recoil as he approached "I guess it's true after all, androids do experience fear" he stated veins bulging on his head staring down the android which screamed in horror as it struggled out of the crater before desperately running away.
Grimoire narrowed his eyes at the actions of the Saiyan prince "Honestly Vegeta is more of a monster than these androids have been, thankfully for now he's on our side…" Grimoire thought as he saw the prince rise from the crater watching with delight at his fleeing adversary. The other android raised a hand at Vegeta "Enough-!" he tried to scream out just as a kick slammed into his face sending the android skidding onto the ground, Grimoire stood before him lightning crackling slightly around his body "You don't get a say in this Android your here to destroy us so don't plead for mercy just because the odds are stacked against you" Grimoire said coldly, Caulli stood next to him ready to pounce on the android if he tried anything. Vegeta powered up glancing at the other android eyes filled with delight "Indeed time to finish what you started!" he yelled before he raised his hand at Android 19 " Time has run out for you android" he declared as his energy continued to spike.
"What incredible power!" Krillin said as the other Z fighters watched amazed by the power Vegeta possessed the battle against the androids was now in their favor. Android 19 didn't turn back only running away in the vain hope that it could survive if just kept running "Here it comes a little going away present!" he said before laughing as he fired a large blast of energy that shot towards the fleeing android who was completely consumed by the blast that illuminated the entire area for a brief second as a tower of smoke rose into the air, falling onto a few rocks was the disembodied head of the android in a permanent expression of terror that eventually laid on flat ground.
The other android stood up his fearful expression becoming stoic as he gazed upon the remaining part of his comrade, Vegeta flew down in front of Grimoire and Caulli grinning at the remaining menace brimming with confidence from his easy kill "Wow that android is completely toast" Krillin said completely blown away at Vegeta performance and a little fearful that someone like him had gained so much power "Yeah looks like this android crisis might be over sooner than expected" piccolo said as they watched the last android turn towards Vegeta. "Your a bit stronger than I anticipated but nothing I can not handle, your defeat is inevitable" he stated calmly but Grimoire could tell that he was bluffing just from how afraid he acted earlier, however, Vegeta had lost a fair bit of energy so there perhaps was a slim chance of victory for the android. If the other fighters weren't around to support Vegeta.
The prince chuckled before he powered down much to the dismay and shock of the other warriors "Vegeta what are you doing?" Caulli asked confused as to why he'd do something like that in front of the android "Yes indeed your friend did manage to take quite a bit of energy from me before I stomped him, now's your chance to beat me a vicious attack now might just suffice" Vegeta said simply brushing off the dust from his armor his gaze never leaving the androids. Grimoire was uneasy about Vegeta's stare off against the android, it was likely he was bluffing his confidence to the android trying to get him to flee, from what Grimoire could sense Vegeta had lost a lot of power during the fight yet for some reason he seemed so calm if he was bluffing he was doing it masterfully.
Honestly, Grimoire would expect as much from the Saiyan their training together may have been brief but there was one thing he learned about the Saiyan, Vegeta was a genius when it came to a battle of skill and wit, many times Vegeta had bluffed being injured from his attacks so he could get a free hit. Grimoire walked next to the Saiyan "Your free to try Android, but now that'd you'd just meet the same fate as your friend" Grimoire declared the lightning swirling around his body growing more intense, the android gritted his teeth as Vegeta scoffed but kept his grin "Agreed, what makes you think you're any different android I bet your head rolls just as he does" he stated the android having sweat go down his face.
"Fool I am superior to the android 19 model, wiping your from existence will be trivial for a unit such as myself" The android retorted his eyes twitching slightly Vegeta and Grimoire did not react to the claim " Your bluffing friend let's see what you got" Vegeta replied standing with the frost demon as the android grunted before he flew off toward the large rock formations "Woah he's running off look at him go!" Krillin said as their adversary went out of view.
Vegeta's smile turned into a frown as Grimoire powered down Caulli rushing up to the to of them "He's running away we should chase after him right?" she asked Vegeta who turned to Krillin "Hey baldy quickly throw me one of those beans" he demanded as Krillin took out the bag holding the senzu beans " Hey wait a sec" Vegeta cut him off "There's no time to waste, he's going to get away" Piccolo sighed "Do it Krillin" the human looked to the Namekian nodding before reaching into the bag "I'll give him a small one," he said to himself, throwing the bean to Vegeta.
Consuming the bean Vegeta powered up into a Super Saiyan once more his energy completely restored by the magic bean, Grimoire looked to the Mountains "Let's head off now he couldn't be too far" he said as he began to float off the ground "No need" Vegeta said confusing everyone "I appreciate the assistance but your not needed anymore so go back home were it's safe, you'll just get in my way" Vegeta said before blasting off without letting anyone voice their opinion. Grimoire sighed "Like I take orders from him I'm not about to risk his pride making him do something idiotic, come on Caulli we have to follow him!" Grimoire yelled before flying after the prince "Coming!" Caulli shouted before she too headed with Grimoire.
"Hey wait!" Gohan yelled but the two were already too far to hear him Krillin placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder "No point trying to stop them Gohan those two are committed, I'm impressed they lived under the same roof as Vegeta that guy is the biggest jerk I know" Piccolo watched sweat going down his face as Grimoire and Caulli got out of view "That may be true but he is a Genius when it comes to fighting, he was weakened from the other android he knew he was vulnerable so he bluffed that he was eager to fight the next one" Piccolo clenched his hands his body tense "The other android could have defeated him but Vegeta was too convincing especially with Grimoire not backing down either, Vegeta can't be beaten in a mental battle not to mention his physical power has reached a new plateau. Never have I felt a power quite like his before it's just amazing" Piccolo explained the others looking in awe as the genius of Vegeta's battle prowess.
Gohan walked up to Piccolo "Do you think Vegeta's even stronger than my dad now?" he asked the Namekian "There's a good chance yes… I think so" he replied everyone taken aback at the declaration that People thought that Vegeta had surpassed Goku. Tien took a step forward "I say we go after them, Vegeta may be stronger than all of us but that didn't stop Grimoire and Caulli so it's not stopping me!" Gohan and Krillin nodded "Yeah we all have just as much at stake we can't take off home now there's no way!" Gohan declared with a mix of courage and fury "Agreed, they might need our help but no jumping in unless I say got it. I need to you guys to get back to Goku in one piece got it?" Piccolo asked his allies all nodding "They're probably searching for the android in the mountains as we speak bu tit won't be easy since we can't pick up his energy so spread out, law low and find that tin can".
"Got it " Tien replied, "If you spot him call it out so we can back you up okay?" Piccola asked "Right!" both Krillin and Gohan replied as the four soon took of towards the mountains.
Meanwhile….
Vegeta flew through the many mountains and rocky pillars in the area searching head to toe for any sign of the android with little luck, without the ability to sense the androids energy the Saiyan was left essentially blind as his opponent coward from their confrontation feeding the princes frustration. He landed on the edge of one of the rock formations "Coward come out and show yourself, How long do you want to play hide and seek if you android experience fear you must feel shame too so stop running away and fight!" he yelled scanning his surrounding irritated at this game of cat and mouse. "This is ridiculous an android that's scared to die what a low rate pile of junk, no gut at all just circuits and wires!" he screamed but still nothing moved as hidden from the prince's sight the android remained quiet hearing the insults but not reacting to them, "I'm not going to stand here all day if you don't come out I'll blast you out!" he yelled before flying up into the sky taking a look at the area just as Grimoire and Cauli closed in on the prince.
Around the rocky terrain, the others were scattered about searching for the android, Krillin was poking around cautiously looking for the Android "So be it!" Vegeta's voice echoed above as Caulli, Grimoire, and Krillin looked up at the prince "Have it your way you old rust bucket!" Vegeta bellowed as he began to charge energy into his hand "No don't were down here too, oh no!" Krillin screamed getting the attention of Grimoire and Caulli "Krillin!" Caulli cried as she and Grimoire flew towards him. Arriving near the human Grimoire looked towards Vegeta "Stay near me!" Grimoire cried as he raised his hands creating a purple energy barrier to protect the three from the blast. As Vegeta fired the shot towards the ground he and the others saw the android run out before getting in the way of the blast laughing as he raised his hands and began absorbing the energy, the entire area being bleached white by the energy blast.
"Why did he do that he knows that the androids can absorb energy!" Caulli yelled out as Grimoire dismissed the Barrier and the others watched as the android absorbing the blast "Vegeta's may be a genius but he has a short temper he must have lost his cool and just went with instinct but all that did is make our situation worse!" Grimoire stated as the android completed absorbing the blast Vegeta left stunned "Thanks for the charge you fool!" he laughed. Vegeta enraged rushed down towards the android but the enemy had already begun to run away, "Quickly follow him!" Grimoire called out before disappearing in a bolt of lighting close behind Vegeta as he pursued the fleeing menace. However, when Vegeta stopped on a top of a rock tower he had lost sight of the android wearing a scowl in anger "I just had to give him all that energy, how could I a mistake like that is inexcusable," he said before he heard someone land behind him "You're certainly right about that" turning around he saw Grimoire behind him looking around the area "I told you to go home I don't need your help" Vegeta growled as Grimoire continued to look around "No way it's clear to me that your to hot-headed to remain focused, So I'm going to stay to make sure you keep yourself in check before you give the enemy more energy to use against us" he replied before leaping forward onto other platforms to look for the android.
Vegeta scoffed at the frost demon before moving to look elsewhere, Above the two hanging off the bottom edge of a cliff the android watched the two as they continued to look for him "Vegeta's frustration is apparent gone is the cold and confident demeanor he had before, heh, perhaps the great Vegeta can be defeated after all" he said to himself before looking at Grimoire "However, not with extra help from that other alien he isn't while not as strong he appears to be quite fast so fighting both right now would be difficult" he flipped himself on top of the edge he was on "The risk of fighting the two of them in my current condition is too great, I need to charge to full power before then, however, Vegeta isn't going to make the same mistake twice and with that other one there I have little chance to absorb energy from the two. There must be a way to gain more energy" he pondered before detecting another energy nearby looking behind a large rock pillar he saw Gohan looking down another cliff "Ah yes it is the boy so he did follow us after all…" the android then picked up another power turning to see Tien searching through a large crevice "Another one" a third signal appeared looking up the android spotted Piccolo flying above "Piccolo as well" he chuckled picking up two others. Looking down he spotted Krillin and Saiyan female looking around together.
The android chuckled to himself "Well it seems I've solved my energy problem, yes I'll just drain these pathetic fools one by one then Vegeta is mine" he said as he moved to set his plan into motion. Gohan was still looking through the area before he heard some pebbles fall behind him and startled the young Saiyan, however, it turned out just to be some of the local wildlife "Oh just you guys, Man I'm too tense" he said before going back on his search.
Tien was walking around keeping his eyes out for the Android "Man where did he go?" he said to himself as he continued on. Krillin and Caulli were searching together for the Android "Do you think Grimoire and Vegeta are okay?" Caulli asked a hint of worry in her voice, "Those two Nah they can handle themselves thought knowing my luck the android will come to us" Krillin said taking a few steps before the rock crumbled causing him to fall, Caulli grabbing him quickly "Well if you keep doing stuff like that then yeah, the android will definitely come to us" Caulli muttered before looking around her surroundings if anything approached them, Krillin rubbed his head "Yeah sorry, I'll be more careful" he sighed before looking around for the Android.
All the while the Android was hidden between different places to spy on each member "Look at these fools who should I choose to drain first" he said before looking up to see Piccolo flying up high alone back turned to the android. "Piccolo is the strongest after Vegeta and that other alien he is definitely the one" he said before flying slowly towards the unsuspecting Namekian "Victory shall soon be mine, draining piccolo will give me all the energy I need" the android murmured to himself as he got closer without gaining Piccolo's attention "That's right he doesn't need food or water he can hide out here for days" Piccolo hissed just as the Android reached out his hands and rushed towards the Namekian covering the Namkeians mouth and locking his arms so he couldn't struggle.
Piccolo turned head his to see the grinning android eyes wide in fear "Well, Piccolo, it seems you have found me" he chuckled as Piccolo tried to pry his hand off his mouth "It's pointless to resist you are already too weak to stop me" he remarked as Piccolo looked back at the smiling android one more time before he focused his thoughts sending them to Gohan.
"Gohan I need your help come quick, Gohan it's me hurry the Android has me" Piccolo transmitted to the young Saiyan "Right but where?" he replied but the Namkeian could no longer send his thoughts as his energy continued to plummet. Gohan then picked up a weakening energy level "There's a big power fading rapidly over there, that must be them!" he yelled before flying off, meanwhile, Piccolo was beginning to lose consciousness as his arms began to lower as his energy was robbed by the Android "Ah this is great, feeling sluggish are we don;t worry it shall be all over soon" he laughed before Gohan rushed in a slammed the Android away from his friend and the friend feel onto the rock platform below his hat piece falling off into a crevice echoing throughout the area.
"Thanks, Gohan, you saved my life" Piccolo panted as he got his breath back from the Android death grip, the android stood up and began to fly towards the two "Annoying pest found me but how?" The android said before he heard people arriving turning to see Vegeta and Grimoire staring at the Android as the others arrived as well, he was surrounded with no way out. He smiled "So the whole gang's together, no matter I have absorbed enough energy to deal with all of you" the android boasted Vegeta smirked "Oh get over yourself Android," he said The Android looking around slightly nervous at his current situation "Hey Krillin Piccolo needs a senzu!" Gohan yelled Krilliin taking out a bean "Right here you go!" he exclaimed throwing the bean to the Namekian who ate it quickly and he power restored immediately "Thanks Krillin" he sighed Krillin giving him a thumbs up "Of course no problem Piccolo!" he replied.
The Android faced Vegeta "Damn that Namekian had given ample energy but Vegeta may still pose a problem especially with that other alien" he thought, "Well, shall we start where we left off. As I recall we were about to fight before you ran away" Vegeta remarked the Android looked at the other fighters present "I still need to drain more energy to be ensured victory" just then Piccolo dropped down behind the android "Piccole!" Gohan cried out as the others looked in surprise "What's he thinks he's doing?" Grimoire muttered as Caulli took a step forward "Piccolo what are you thinking?!" she yelled but the Namkeian ignored them and removed his weighted gear.
"Back of this time Vegeta I owe him, if he manages to get by me he's all yours how does that grab you?" Piccolo enquired the Super Saiyan, Vegeta smiled "I don't care if you want to fight him, I don't even care if you get yourself killed but I do care if he manages to steal more of your energy and get stronger. So keep that in mind while you're having your fun got it!" Vegeta explained "Yeah I got it I'll make sure that doesn't happen again" he replied as he stared at the Android smiled gleefully seeing his opportunity to steal more energy. Suddenly Piccolo appeared before the Android landing a Knee up his chin sending him flying past Vegeta into the rockface behind him, everyone looked in surprise and joy at the Namekians dealing the first blow but the Android got back up a little worse for wear but far more irritated.
Flying forward the Android rushed the Namekian but he then vanished from his sight disorientating him as Vegeta motioned his head up allowing the android to look up just as Piccolo delivered an elbow straight onto his face crashing the Android into more rocks below. The Android got himself out of the rocks that engulfed him staring terrified at the current situation of the fight "No, no what is this Piccolo is designated as one of the weaker fighters, My data indicates I should be defeating him with ease. So then how is he causing me so much difficulty?" he pondered unable to understand the sudden change in the struggle.
Back at the City…
Wearing and indigo jacket with the capsule corp logo, tank top, grey pants, golden boots, broadsword strapped on his back, lavender hair shuffling in the wind and blue eyes taking in his surroundings Trunks was flying above the city processing the destruction of the town before him. " Man what mess it looks like I'm too late I should've gone back a little further, it's too risky to do now the time machine doesn't have enough energy I couldn't return home and be stranded in the past." the Saiyan clenched his fists " I can't believe that it is already over I thought Goku would make a difference against those monsters, you were my only hope Goku but It looks like I was destined to handle this alone" he declared before he detected multiple high energy levels off away from the city. "Looks like the fight is still going on, awesome there still a chance!" he exclaimed flying at top speed in the direction of the strong energies.
While that went on Piccolo was knocking the Android down a peg as he outwitted the android with his superior martial art skills and knocked the Android into a rock pillar causing it to crumble onto him "Alright!" Gohan hurrayed as everyone watched in awe "Incredible Piccolo has really improved, I bet he's as strong as a Super Saiyan!" Krillin declared Vegeta scoffed at the words "Even if he's not that strong Piccolo has remarkable battle potential to improve this much in only 3 years it's remarkable" Grimoire commented the prince rolling his eyes. The rock that buried the Android cracked in half as an arm stuck out and he pulled himself free his enraged eyes glaring at Piccolo "Damn you I'll kill you!" he roared as the Namekian stood stoically ready for the with Trunks the Saiyan flew past a small flying vessel but he paid little mind focused on reaching the fight to assist the others passing a crater, however the Saiyan stopped noticing something among the debris seeing the head of Android 19 "No way what does it mean?".
Piccolo continued to dodge the Android blows before he caught an opportunity to counter sending the Android crashing into multiple rock towers that created a large cloud of dust to cover the area, the android seized the opportunity to try and grab the Namekian the dust blocking what happens from everyone "Oh no!" Caulli yelled as Gohan screamed, "He's been caught!". However, as the dust settled everyone saw that Piccolo had grabbed the android not letting his hand get close enough to drain his power. "You can't just get enough can you?" Piccole said smirking as the android struggled in his grasp "I'll kill you you hear me mark my words!" he growled as he tried in vain to move his arm closer to Piccolo "You know I used to be a lot like you, One day you'll learn the more you hurt others the harder your life becomes. It's simple your desire to kill is killing you" Piccolo Explains as with a swift motion he cuts of the forearm of the Android.
"It's a darn waste you could of put this hand to good use what a waste of Technology" Piccolo said as he crushed the forearm the android left terrified that he was not at a severe disadvantage, Gohan raised his arms "Yes history changed we're going to make it through this without losing anyone!" he proclaimed everyone watching with smiles at the possible end to android menace. Grimoire had his arms crossed keeping eyes on the battle "I hope that's the case…' he muttered as the Android continued it's desperate resistance. Meanwhile back with Trunks currently staring at the head of the defeated android 19 the time traveler unable to grasp what he sees "What is this I've never seen it before, this isn't one of the androids that killed Dr. Gero!" he stammered "Oh man this is mind-boggling" just then an explosion appeared in the rock formations further from the craters where Trunks was sure his allies were fighting the androids "I can figure this out later" he said before flying off pondering why things were not what he'd been told in the future.
Piccolo watched the large dust cloud before him dissipate the android pulling himself out of the rocks again as the fight continued to be one-sided "I don't understand my data indicates that you couldn't of grown this strong so quickly!" he cried Piccolo smiling at the wounded fiend "Your data would of been accurate if we hadn't been warned about your arrival three years before you got here, In other words we knew you were coming so we got all our ducks in a row" he explained only further annoyed the Android "Ducks what do you mean?" the android demanded the ramekins smile turning into a thin line "I mean we've been preparing for you my friend" Piccolo replied the android standing there shaking in fear at is likely to defeat. "Thank goodness for that dying is such a bummer" Krillina said "I bet " Gohan replied with a smile as the two seemed happy this was all about to end, Caulli placed her hands behind her head "Still this was not as intense as I thought it'd be but at least this world will be safe" she sighed as Grimoire flew next to her " Indeed I'm glad things turned out so well" he replied watching the last moments of the final android that threatened the world.
"How about the coup de grace Piccolo or do I have to step in and handle it?" Vegeta enquired the Namekian "No this is my job, I know that if the tables were turned this guy wouldn't hesitate, believe me, no problem" Piccolo answered before everyone detected a new power headed their way "Who's that?" Caulli asked as the power got closer "I don't know" Grimoire replied as they saw a teenage boy with Lavender hair arrive next to Vegeta with a sword strapped onto his back completely focused on the Android.
"Trunks is back!" Piccolo yelled and time seemed to pause to Grimoire "Trunks... did Piccolo call him Trunks the same name as Bulma's kid, That it's a Saiyan from the future and from his appearance, I can see the resemblance that's Vegeta and Bulma's son!" Grimoire turned to Vegeta who had a shocked expression he must have figured it out as well. To think that the baby he knew would grow up to be the strong-looking young man before him it was such an incomprehensible moment.
"Yeah even though I haven't this one before I can tell his one of Dr. Gero's creations" Trunks said causing everyone to look at the Saiyan from the future, "Say what, what do you mean you haven't seen him before isn't he one of the androids you warned us about?" Trunks shook his head "No, this one's different" Piccolo's eyes widened in confusion and fear "What how could he be different?" he stuttered. Trunks stared at the unfamiliar Android before him "I'm not sure…" he answered as Caulli and Grimoire looked at each other "What did he say those weren't the androids?" everyone looked back to the damaged android before them if this wasn't he android they were warned about then who is he?.
"No nonsense, if that's not the android you warned us about then who is it?!" Vegeta yelled as Trunks stared at the Android not focusing on the others "Hey give the kid a break Vegeta, so some of the things he told us change perhaps the androids did too, we found two androids just like he said does it really matter if they don't look the same" Krillin reasoned "I hope your right Krillin…" Tien replied looking nervously at the android scared at the thought that there could be more androids.
Krillin looked up hearing something approaching "Hey Gohan look it's Bulma and Yajirobe!" Krillin said as Grimoire and Caulli turned to see the ship coming closer "No what is she doing here it's too dangerous!" Grimoire cried as Trunks turned to the new voice seeing the frost demon and the female Saiyan next to him, "What another Saiayn and one of Frieza's kind what's going on how could things have changed so drastically!" he thought before looking up to see a capsule corp ship with his mother inside "Hellooo!" she called put as Yajirobe looked horrified at the Android down below "Oh no that android is still down there we shouldn't of come!" he screamed as Bulma continued her descent as she got a look at the Android "Dr. Gero?".
"What are you doing down come down here!" Trunks cried as the android saw the ship "Perfect enjoyed this short-lived victory while you are able for soon I will unleash Androids 17 and 18 to destroy you all!" he cried all the Z warriors blood running cold "Android 17 and 18…" Piccolo muttered before Gerol laughed swiping madly sending out waves of energy outwards causing the area to begin to light up "No!" Grimoire and Trunks screamed rushing towards the ship as the area exploded and the ship sent crashing down. Getting to it before Trunks Grimoire raised a hand as the ship stopped moving covered in a faint purple coat of energy "Hang on!" he cried getting close to the ship and creating a barrier as the explosion blinded everyone.
As the light disappeared Piccolo and the others saw that the android had vanished in the large plumes of dust he created, Grimoire in the Barrier with Bulma,Trunks and Yajirobe landed down softly the baby crying from the event the future trunks staring in surprise at the frost demon "He actually helped just who is this guy?" Grimoire dismissed the barrier and opened the doors the ship was cracked and burnt not in any condition to fly anymore.
"Everyone okay?" Grimoire asked Bulma a bit pale, Yajirobe shaking as Trunks continued to cry in his arms, Bulma took her son holding him close and trying to soothe him "Yeah we're okay thanks Grimoire" she said smiling at the frost demon before comforting her baby "It's Okay trunks were safe now" Caulli, Gohan and Krillin the landed near Grimoire "Are they okay!" Caulli yelled running over to see Bulma, Trunks and Bulma safe sighing in relief "Yeah we're fine thanks to Grimoire" Bulma replied Grimoire retracting his face hard smiling "No problem" he said as the turned to the newcomer from the future.
Future Trunks was still confused about the appearance of the Frost demon and Saiyan but right now he looked to Vegeta his father anger boiling in his blood. "Impossible, the android he vanished blast it where'd he go!" Vegeta shouted hastily trying to find the Android furious that he'd escape their grasp again, "You'll never escape android!" Vegeta cried as trunks growled and flew up to the Super Saiyan blocking his path. "Hey, why didn't you try to save them Vegeta!" He asked the Prince who seem uninterested "Who?" was his replay "Who? Bulma and your son!" Trunks yelled as Vegeta smirked "Oh them I have more important things to worry about than that woman and her blasted child" Vegeta answered as Trunks stared silently at him grinding his teeth, Vegeta moved close to trunks "No out of my way!" Vegeta said before flying off leaving Trunks dumbstruck as he landed near the narrow rock paths "I would have spotted the Android if he flew, which means he's on foot using the narrow rock path to hide himself. Which means he can't of gotten too far!"
Meanwhile, Trunks moved over to Grimoire and Caulli who were looking around the area as well, "Excuse me" he said as Grimoire and Caulli turned around "Hello, Trunks was what the others called you right. How wired you have the same name as Bulma's baby" Caulli said making future trunks shift awkwardly "Y-yeah" he mumbled before composing himself "If I may what are your names?". Grimoire nodded and gave a small bow placing an arm to his chest "Grimoire" Cualli placed her hands on her hips "Caulli!" Trunks looked at the too puzzled and anxious. "Something wrong?" Grimoire asked the Saiyan one eye raised in curiosity, "Hey Bulma says the android is Dr. Gero!".
After Krillin announced that the others gathered around as Bulma and explained how the Android was Dr. Gero and Trunks filled the others on how the other android looked like also conveying how drastically History in this timeline has slipped away from his own, Trunks told how he had never met Grimoire or Caulli in his time confusing the two explaining that when he came to the past before he might have sent a ripple effect that altered history. Grimoire and Caulli weren't sure how to process that but more pressing matters made themselves known when Bulma revealed the location of Gero's lab Vegeta informing others that Gero was on foot so they could get there before him.
'If that's the case then we can destroy the androids before they can become a threat" Grimoire said but Vegeta shook his "No I would never stoop to such a cowardly tactic, I will face these androids head-on and defeat with my bare hands" he boasted "That the only way I can be satisfied!" Grimoire clenched his hands getting in Vegeta's face "This isn't a game Vegeta these androids could be far stranger than Gero was going to approach this the smart way than just rushing in with brute force" he ordered the prince who smirked at the Frost Demon "Oh and how are you going to stop me, if you've forgotten I'm a super Saiyan now and far stronger than any of you" The prince proceeded to punch Grimoire in the stomach making him fall to his knees gripping his abdomen in pain.
Vegeta then blasted off as Caulli went to Grimoire to check on him, Trunks then got in his path "Please you need to listen we need to wait for Goku, You can't handle this alone Vegeta!" he pleaded hoping to convince his father "I do not need that pathetic fool Kakarot" Vegeta growled in anger "I'm far stronger now than he ever could be, so get out of my way!" Vegeta blasted around trunks heading in the direction of Gero's Lab "Man what a jerk, Hey Grimoire you okay?" Tien said as Caulli knelt next to the Frost Demon "I'll be fine it was just a cheap shot" he grunted before getting up. Piccolo watched as Vegeta flew off.
" I will admit that Vegeta as a Super Saiyan may be stronger than Goku perhaps he can defeat the Androids" Trunks floated down looking at the ground "No I'm afraid he doesn't stand a chance, I know because the androids in my time killed Vegeta" he said solemnly before looking in the direction Vegeta took off " Well I won't let it happen again I won't let my father die!" Trunks declared as he took off after the Prince.
Bulma blinked a few times "Wait, father, what did he mean by that?" she asked Piccolo turning to her "There's something you should know that boy is Trunks the man the baby in your arms will grow up to be?" he said as everyone saves Grimoire was dumbstruck "What?!" everyone screamed Grimoire crossing his arms. "I thought that would be obvious to you guys by looking at him and when Piccolo called him Trunks when he arrived" Grimoire stated "Trunks is the only Saiyan child whose was born recently so it'd have to be him by default" Bulma raised her baby up with a smile, "Well, at least I know that you grow up to be handsome and not look like your dad" she said to the baby who looked at his mom.
"Bulma could you tell my dad this the next time you see him and to hurry here as soon as he recovers" Goka asked Bulma who looked at her wrecked ship "I'm afraid I'm stuck here Gohan my ship's in no condition to fly" Yajirobe piped up "Well some of you could take us back" he enquired crossing his arms. "Gohan I think it'd be a good idea if took them back, well handle things here go check on your dad" Piccolo said as Gohan nodded "Okay" Grimoire placed a hand on Caulli's shoulder "Help Gohan out Caulli so he can see his father as soon as possible" the Saiyaness nodded "Okay stay safe Grimoire" she replied as Grimoire, Krillin, Piccolo, and Tien took off after Vegeta and trunks.
Gohan Grabbed Bulma and Trunks "We'd better get going," Gohan said "Not to fast we have a baby on board" Bulma replied as she held trunks tight, Caulli walked to Yakirobe "Your gonna have to tell me where to go okay Yakirobe?" Caulli asked Yajirobe nodding "Very well so how we- what are you doing?!" Yajirobe yelled as Caulli lifted him bridal style "What this would be the easiest way to lift you" she replied as Yajirobe blushed embarrassed as Gohan and Bulma laughed. Caulli began to lift off "Take care Gohan I'll catch up with you later!" Caulli shouted before heading off, soo Gohan followed as the two Saiyans went their different ways.
