"Hurry Sixteen! He'll be here any minute!"

"Are you certain you know what you're doing, 21?"

"Yes, of course I do!" 21 had just spent the last 30 minutes preparing her lab to act as a makeshift hospital. She had been monitoring the fight between Alex and Wolfaunse and had a good idea on the medical equipment she would need to revive the wounded former saiyan emperor.

Seeing a white light form around the table, the wounded fallen emperor appeared. Immediately she had 16 carefully place his body on an operating table across from the teleporter. She then proceeded to remove his armor so she could could get a better look at his wounds.

"By Kami, he's really hurt." Just by checking he had multiple lacerations on both arms, legs ,and on his right side of his face. Doing an X-ray she noted half of the bones in his body were shattered. The injury that concerned her the most however, was the diagonal slash going from his left chest to his lower abdomen. Though the lightsaber cauterized it, she saw in the picture he was having internal bleeding.

Pressing a button on the table she summoned a droid that would assist her in putting him under general anesthesia. Holding Alex's hand she squeezed it. "Don't you worry, I'm not going let you die." For the next several hours she began removing dead tissue and applying skin graphs on the lightsaber affected areas of the body.For his bones she used experimental surgical tools that would piece the bones back together. Finally after nearly 18 hours of surgery she had stopped the internal bleeding and the lightsaber wounds would heal though he'd have permanent scaring on his body. For the bone part of the surgery she put him In a full body cast that would limit his movement.

After the surgery she wheeled him into a room that had been remade to act as an ICU. Sitting in a chair next to his bed she began to rest. Though she had been trained in preforming surgery doing the actual thing was significantly harder. Hearing a knock on the door she turned to look. "Come in." Walking in the room Sixteen handed her the tea she asked him regularly to brew. She knew by the look on his face he didn't like the idea of hosting their lab as hospital for a well known galactic tyrant and murderer.

"You don't have to say anything. I know you disapprove of me bringing him here."

"I'm worried that you are deluded onto who you think Alex O'Donnell really is."

Ever since his reactivation Sixteen had noticed that his mother had becoming increasingly more obsessed with the former Jedi. She would spend hours, if not days looking through the Imperial Planetary Surveillance System and watching everything Alex O'Donnell did day to day.

"You are aware he lead the Sacking of Earth, right? He cut off Gohan's left arm at Central City as he was defending it from the Sith onslaught."He said in irritated tone.

She sighed. It was certainly true he had done terrible things that are were unforgivable, but hadn't the members of earth's defenders done things similar things in the past as well? Vegeta had blown up his fair share of planets, and Piccolo nearly wiped out humanity as well. Why couldn't he turn a new leaf if they could?

"He can be redeemed, Sixteen." Putting her tea down she continued, "The Clone Wars broke him. He lost his master who was a father figure to him, He was forced to kill his best friend, had to endure extreme psychological torture at the hands of Darth Sidious, and unintentionally killed over five hundred thousand civilians on Coruscant in his Golden Oozaru form trying to stop Sidious in his Darkside Colossus from devouring all life on the planet which the Senate blamed him entirely for.

Folding his arms he began to contemplate. He remembered his first meeting with Alex O'Donnell. It was on the ruins of Gero's lab on a highway where he watched Vegeta unsuccessfully try to best 18 in his newly gained Super Saiyan transformation. Right as 18 was about to land the final blow that would end it all, a mysterious cloaked figure intervened and pulled Vegeta to him. He began to say, "I'm Alex O'Donnell, a Knight of the Jedi Order. Surrender and you will not be harmed." The Saiyan Jedi turned to 16 and waved a hand motion. Everything went black.

He was told after turning back on what had happened. 18 and 17 recounted he powered up into a Super Saiyan transformation not unlike Vegeta's. However, upon doing so the entire earth shook and the skies turned black with lightning sounding in them. Before the two of them could react, he charged at them with lighting speed. He knocked 18 out with a kick to the gut. Angered, 17 launched a barrage of punches and kicks with each and everyone of them being evaded. As a last ditch effort 17 tried to kill him with a full power Photon Flash, however Alex caught it in his off hand and it dissipated.

Taking the advantage the Jedi slashed 17 with his lightsaber on both his legs making it so he could no longer fight. Right as 17 thought he was going to die the Jedi turned off his lightsaber. Kneeling down Alex became surrounded by a yellow aura and his eyes glowed gold. Suddenly both of them became surrounded by force energy which healed their wounds completely. When they both got up they were extremely confused onto what had just happened. When they asked why he healed them he said, "I was misinformed. I wrongly presumed you were the evil that the future boy for told. You three are not evil, you just need to find a better path to walk down."

Approaching the Earth's Defenders they looked at him in shock and disgust. Asking why had he had not slain them he simply said, "It is not the Jedi way. A Jedi does not kill unless forced. Those three are not evil as you perceive. I beseech you to not continue your attack." However, they charged at them and one by one they were defeated. Only Krillin managed to not get injured. He flew down and asked the small fighter for the senzu beans so he could revive them. As he was going to resuscitate the fallen warriors of earth, he saw the former monk plead with the Cyborgs not to continue their hunt for the sick Goku. The female cyborg walked over to the visibly frightened ex-monk and pecked him on the cheek saying, "Good luck."

Returning from his thoughts he turned to 21. "Very well, he gets one opportunity at redemption. However, there needs to be safety procedures. We should enable the Ki and Force dampeners so he if by the chance he decides to attack us, he'll not have to access to his arsenal. I'm putting my faith in you. If you think you can reach out to him and bring him back to the light, I don't think there is any other person alive other than you who can do it."

She sat up from her chair and gave Sixteen a hug. "Thank you for having faith in me, it means a lot." Having her son's support meant the world to her. Turning her gaze to her patient she had a small smile emerge. For so long he had suffered through unimaginable circumstances and now he had the chance to actually heal and for once be free.

Before leaving the room she instructed the medical droid overseeing his recovery to inform her when he finally gained consciousness. It would be a long road to recovery but, she knew she could reach him and restore him to the man he once was.

A/N: Hurray, chapter 2 is out now. I'm hoping I can consistently update this story as I'm liking the direction it's going thus far. Reviews are appreciated no matter how harsh.
