Vegeta, Sno and Bulma were in the lab. Vegeta explained what the androids said about killing Sno before she has their children. Sno didn't say anything for a while. She just zoned out, staring at the wall.
"What do we do?" she asked quietly, umoving.
"Destroy them," Vegeta gruffed.
"You said that they have unlimited energy. How?"
Vegeta sighed. "We'll figure it out."
"What can I do?" Sno asked.
"Stay here. Stay safe. You're not going anywhere near them and they're not coming anywhere near you," Vegeta said confidently.
Sno sighed. She appreciated his confidence, but her anxiety still raged within her.
"Hello?" A voice sounded down the hall.
Vegeta disappeared out of Sno's sight, rapid moving to the entrance. Sno and Bulma ran after him. Piccolo and Krillin were in the lobby.
Krillin stepped foward, holding a bean in his palm. "Here, Vegeta. You took off before I could give it to you."
Vegeta took the Senzu Bean and ate it quickly.
"Did you tell her?" Piccolo questioned Vegeta.
"Yes."
Sno was starting at Piccolo. He seemed different. He felt different. For whatever reason, Sno could feel his energy had changed.
"What did you do?" Sno broke the silence.
Piccolo looked surprised. "What do you mean?"
"You feel different," Sno frowned.
"You can sense that?" Vegeta questioned her.
"I rejoined with Kami," Piccolo sighed.
Sno's eyes widened. "It was that bad?"
Goku came in the door, along with Blizz.
"So, I hear these androids are after me?"
Vegeta sneered at him. "Not just you, Kakarot. They're after Sno, too."
Goku's eyes widened. Blizz looked confused. Sno had caught a glimpse of Blizz, and he looked really familiar. She decided to ignore it.
"What? Why are they after her?" Goku demanded.
"They want to kill me before I have my children," Sno said softly, avoiding eye contact with anyone.
Blizz looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He had no idea that this was part of the androids' plan. They want to make sure he and his sibling were never born.
"We all need to get to Kame House," Goku suggested.
"And she'll be safe there?" Vegeta growled.
Goku nodded once, and Vegeta immediately picked up Sno. She didn't even consider protesting. Vegeta walked out of Capsule Corp and shot up into the sky, with Goku right behind him. Krillin stared up after Vegeta.
"Why is he being so... protective of her?"
Piccolo sighed. "I have a feeling you'll find out soon."
"I'll be there in a few, go ahead," Bulma waved them off.
Piccolo nodded, he and Krillin took off.
Everyone was gathered at Kame House, talking about what to do next. Goku suggested that he take Sno off to different places for short periods of time, to try and throw the androids off course.
"No," Vegeta snapped.
"C'mon, Vegeta! We wouldn't be at one place too long. Thirty minutes, tops," Goku pleaded.
Goku knew what Sno was to Vegeta. He completely understood why Vegeta was being so overbearing, but now wasn't the time. Goku could tell that Vegeta was fighting with himself, he could tell that he wanted her safe, but not out of his sight.
"Why the hell do you care, anyway?" Yamcha asked.
"Shut up!" Vegeta snarled.
"Look, Vegeta. I get it, but throwing them off course might buy us some time," Goku pressed.
"You don't get it," Vegeta argued, gazing at Sno.
"Yes, I do. I understand exactly what's going on. Just let me help," Goku sighed.
Vegeta glared at the wall. His pride forbade him to accept help. He would protect his mate, even if it killed him. However, Goku's words moved him. Goku understood, and that made Vegeta a little more comfortable.
"Well, well, that was easy," Android 17 startled them out of their tension with each other.
Vegeta immediately stepped in front of Sno, blocking her from view. He snarled, he guessed he would have to trust Goku.
"Go," was all Vegeta said.
And with that, Goku grasped Sno to his side, touching his forehead and disappeared.
Sno gasped at the sudden change of scenery and freezing temperature. Goku glanced around, he had transported them to the northern part of their land. Snow was falling, their breath was visible.
"Hey, Sno, look! Its snowing!" Goku had a shit eating grin on his face, proud of his play on words. Sno was unamused.
Goku led her to a small shack just a few yards away from where they appeared. A large fellow walked out, greeting Goku warmly.
"Goku!"
"What's up, Eight?" Goku grinned, grasping his hand in a firm handshake.
"I am well. Who is your friend?" Eight asked.
"Oh, this is Sno. There are some bad androids after her and I'm protecting her," Goku smiled.
"Oh, no. Well, you are welcome to stay here as going as you like. I owe you my life for fixing me up," Eight reminisced.
"Thank you," Sno said softly, shivering.
Eight nodded and ran inside for a short moment, then came back out with a furry blanket. He handed it to her. Sno wrapped up and relaxed slightly.
"We can't stay long, Eight. These guys are super good at tracking, so we don't want to lead them to you," Goku sighed.
Eight nodded. "I understand."
Sno stood near the frozen lake as Goku and Eight talked for a while. She could feel her anxiety spiking. "Goku?"
Goku turned to face her. "Yeah?"
"Something doesn't feel right," she mumbled.
He nodded. "Think we should leave?"
Sno nodded. Goku turned to Eight. "Well, we gotta go, Eight. We'll hopefully see you later."
Goku waved, holding onto Sno and touched his forehead, then they disappeared.
Vegeta, Krillin and Piccolo had joined the others in the Wastelands. They had gotten word that more androids had shown up. Vegeta had been desperately trying to feel for Sno's ki. He could catch a glimpse, letting him know that she was still alive.
Two more androids were floating on front of the group. One was thin and old, graying beard and hair. The other was large and baby faced. No one said a word, they all just stared each other down.
The thin android, 20, made the first move. He rushed the group, connecting with Piccolo. The two fought, with Piccolo having the upper hand. Since he had rejoined Kami, Piccolo had a giant power boost. That was until, 20 clamped his hand over Piccolo's mouth, saping his energy. Piccolo plummeted down to the sandy ground.
The larger android, 19, rushed Vegeta next. Vegeta was ready and easily caught the hand that threatened to punch him. He had been so on edge and so furious that these things were after Sno, that he immediately rose into Super Saiyan. Vegeta and 19 had a spectacular battle. 19 had become worried, Dr. Gero hadn't programmed the Super Saiyan into their memory banks. He didn't know how to fight a Super Saiyan. Vegeta smirked wickedly.
"It seems that your master neglected to put something in your memory banks," Vegeta said arrogantly.
Vegeta charged up a blast while he rose into the air, sending it flying to the ground at 19. The android jumped out of the way just in time, the blast singeing his clothing. The giant crater from the blast swallowed up the android. Vegeta landed in the crater with him, stalking toward him. He'll be damned if these monsters come anywhere near his Sno. He'll rip them apart with his bare hands if he has to.
Vegeta stood tall and menacingly, his ki was glowing and surrounded him. His hair jostled with how much energy was pulsating around the Saiyan. 19 rushed and grabbed Vegeta's wrists in a bone crushing grip, refusing to let go. Vegeta just grinned. He jumped up, shoving his feet against the android's face. If this damned monster wouldn't let him go, he'd just have to rip off his hands, wouldn't he? Vegeta kept pushing against 19's face, and lo and behold, the androids hands were ripped from his wrists. Wires, circuitry and sparks came into view.
Android 19 scrambled out of the crater, trying to flee. Android 20 could do nothing but stare in horror as his friend was obliterated by Vegeta's Galik Gun. Android 20 fled into the canyons.
"Don't let him get away!" Vegeta roared.
Everyone flew after him, all getting lost the the crevices.
