Hey guys, here's the new chapter.

I figure that I should tell you guys about Piccolo since I've been asked. Next chapter is actually going to explain all that happened with him and, yes, he will soon meet Goku.

So that's that. Thanks a lot to those of you that reviewed, thanks for the support. Remember that if you have any more question then let me know.

Dragon Ball Kai

Chapter 11

Prototype Androids

A man smirked from his spot on a chair in front of several large computer screens that displayed several different shots of a nearby city. Hacking into the city's security cameras had been a cakewalk, and now he was able to have a perfect view of his experiment.

Today he would be seeing how his prototypes performed in a battle situation. In order to do that he classified any breathing being as a target and they were to carry out their mission in any way they could.

"They may be prototypes but I wonder if they'll be able to kill that pest..." the man muttered to himself with a look of hatred on his face.


Goku yawned loudly as he flew through the blue skies behind Mara. She had woken him up earlier and told him that she was hungry to which he told her that there were several places that gave out food in exchange for money.

In the end, after using one of the capsules Bulma had given him as a gift before, Goku took a stack of cash and then set off with Mara in search for the nearest city.

"I see it," Mara said a bit impatiently.

Goku moved faster so that he was flying next to her, and spotted a city in the distance, "We'll still have to find a place that sells food."

Mara nodded silently as she pushed herself to go a bit faster. She was feeling hungry and, even though she could just ask Goku to give her a Senzu Bean, they still threw her off. Simply by eating one of those beans she would feel full, not to say that she didn't appreciate the miraculous properties it had, but between eating one of those and having a nice meal, she would always choose the latter.

At her side, the boy chuckled quietly when seeing how impatient she was.


A tall gray skinned muscular man with short black hair walked through the crowds of people of a crowded city. Earning looks both from the color of his skin and the out of place clothes – a heavy dark green jacket, light brown pants, and large black boots – the man appeared not to notice the attention.

He suddenly stopped in the middle of the street and looked ahead with a blank expression.

"Attack mode activated."

No one expected the strange man to spread out his arms and fire two massive beams of energy that blew away anything in their path.


Goku and Mara were knocked back from a powerful shock wave that suddenly rocked the area.

"W-What was that!?" A man let out in fear.

A kid began to cry as his mother took him in her arms to whisper soothing words of encouragement as the two Saiyans stood up and looked at each other.

No words were needed as the two ran out the door.

"You forgot to pay!" A man with a thick black mustache yelled as he watched the two kids leave.

Outside, the two Saiyans came upon a ruined street where a perfectly straight line had tore through the concrete. Both looked to where the line started and noticed a man with his arms extended.

Goku glared at the man and sprung into action when seeing that he was beginning to gather energy on his hands again. The boy flew rapidly through the street before finally getting close enough to punch the man on the jaw. However, he did not expect the man to simply stand there as his head was lightly pushed back.

"He's strong," Goku said as he put some distance between himself and the man who continued to stand there with a blank look on his face.

Another explosion went off behind the boy who looked back in horror to see black smoke coming from further into the city.

"You take care of this guy, I'll find out what happened over there," Mara said as she flew away with an excited grin on her face. Nothing beat a good fight after a good meal.

Goku smiled at her retreating figure before turning back to the strange man with a glare, "Why are you attacking the city?"


"It's him!" The man behind the computer screens laughed as two screens displayed the small boy with black hair.

"The brat that destroyed the Red Ribbon Army," he smirked, "I guess now is a good time to see if these prototypes will be able to kill him."

He pressed a button on his keyboard and spoke into a microphone that would make the prototypes hear his voice, "Android #7. Kill the brat in front of you at all costs!"


"Understood," the android said before rushing towards the boy.

Goku narrowed his eyes as he leaned his head away from a punch and then spun around while throwing a kick that caught the man on the side and sent him flying away until he finally crashed against a building, leaving a large hole.

It didn't take long for the man to rocket out of the building at a fast speed and begin to throw a barrage of punches and kicks that he was just barely able to dodge until he was forced to jump away to get some breathing room.

This guy was weird. No matter what he did, he couldn't feel his ki so there was no way for him to know how strong he was. Still, it didn't look like he needed to drop the weight on his clothes just yet, for now he wanted to learn as much as he could about the way the strange man fought.

"Come on guy," Goku said as he put on his fighting stance.


Mara landed before a short man with a colorful yellow jacket on and neon orange pants who wore a white helmet with a black glass covering his face that flashed with various lights. One of his hands was extended towards were a ki blast had leveled a building. There was no doubt that this guy was the one behind the earlier explosion.

"You are strong," the small man said in a monotone voice as he turned to face the Saiyan.

'What's going on? I can't feel his energy...' Mara thought in surprise, 'It's not me, I can still feel a lot of people around me. There must be something strange about this person, if he even is a person at all.'

The small man went quiet as lights flashed rapidly on his helmet, before he nodded and finally spoke again, "Very well. She will be killed as well."

In an instant, the strange man pointed his hands as her and created a couple of large ki blasts that shot at her at a fast speed. Mara easily knocked the two blasts aside, making them soar through the air before exploding well above the city, and then charged in at the man who pointed his hands again to shoot more attacks.

If this was all he could do then the fight would be pretty easy, Mara decided as she dodged the attacks without having to stop moving, until she finally got close enough to punch at the enemy. The small man smirked as the space around him was suddenly filled with strange green sparks that then formed a green barrier of energy around him that caused the Saiyan to be violently knocked back.

Not done, the man followed by pointing one hand at the Saiyan and firing a fast beam of energy that pushed her through a building before it finally exploded.

Mara gritted her teeth as she emerged from a bit of rubble in the middle of the street. The building she had been shot through was still standing and it didn't look like any Earthlings had been hurt by the attack. Still, the many idiots looking at her in shock would get in the way if the fight was taken to where she was.

"Why am I trying not to get them killed again?" She wondered out loud before letting out a sigh and flying up the air and around the large building. As she expected, the small man turned his attention away from the city and flew after her.

'This should be good enough, I can't exactly leave the city since that idiot might need help,' she concluded as the small man floated in front of her, the city well under them.

"Alright, I'll finish this quickly," she declared before dropping the weight on her clothes and rocketing towards the strange man that could do nothing as he elbow dug deep into his chest. While she never expected the man to be made out of wires and metal, she was thankful to at least not have to wash blood out of her armor once the fight was over.

With that in mind, she dug her hand into the man's chest and created a large blast of ki that broke his body in two.

"It seems it was stupid of me to think that Earth would have strong machines," Mara said in a bit of disappointment before letting out a sigh, "I guess I'll go see the rest of Goku's fight."


"Android #9 failed," said the man sitting behind the many computer screens.

In a way this was expected but he couldn't help but feel a bit of disappointment that it had been taken down so easily by those strange visitors from another planet. Even so, his experiment wasn't done just yet. There was still one more prototype that had yet to be released.

With that said.

The old man pressed a button on his computer and a door slid open on a large cylinder.

A slim boy with blue skin stepped into the dark room and looked around in a daze.

"Android #10. Goku is in a nearby city. Find him and kill him."

"Heh..." the small android chuckled before shooting out of the lab, without caring about the fact that he had made a large hole on the ceiling and that his creator shouted angrily as he left.


Goku stepped backward as the strange man continued with his barrage of punches and kicks without stop. Still, it was easy for the boy to block each attack without much trouble and dodge them all together most of the time. This, however, was not pleasant to Mara who was watching the exchange while sitting on the edge of a building with a bored look on her face.

Like her, Goku had moved the fight to the sky but had yet to destroy the machine.

"Hurry up already," she called out to him.

The boy chuckled before ducking under a punch and placing a hand to the machine's chest before firing a ki blast that created a gaping hole on the machine that then fell on the street without moving.

"I just wanted to see how the guy fought," Goku explained.

Just as she was about to reply, she noticed a figure in the distance. From the looks of it, someone was flying towards them at a fast speed and, even though she tried to sense his ki it was useless.

"Another one's coming," she said.

Goku looked to where she was looking and frowned, "It looks like it's after us. Let's move higher up so the city's safe."

Mara nodded as the two shot upwards with the faraway figure doing the same. Neither of them stopped until the city was well under them.

The two Saiyans stood defensively as the figure finally came to a stop and they could see what he looked like. Blue skin, brown eyes, black pants, and a large white shirt that appeared many sizes too big.

"Are you with the other strange guys we were fighting?" Goku asked but got no reply as the strange boy looked at him straight in the eyes and smirked wildly. "Huh?"

In an instant the enemy was upon Goku with his right fist cocked back, luckily, Mara managed to notice his intentions and was quick enough to counter by delivering a kick to his side. The strange boy was knocked away before regaining his composure and shooting at them again, this time with his two hands pointed forward.

Firing two powerful large beams of energy at Mara, she was forced to move away as he shot towards Goku and let loose a flurry of punches and kicks. Goku gritted his teeth as he blocked, dodged, and retaliated in their exchange but found that he was being overwhelmed by the attacks until he was finally knocked aside by a powerful fist colliding with his right cheek.

Before the strange boy could follow his attack, he leaned away from a kick coming from Mara, who's eyes widened in surprise. The boy smirked as he kneed the girl in the stomach, grabbed her by the neck, and flung her aside before he moved towards Goku once again.

They began to exchange blows once again, but this time Goku brought out more of his power until he was dominating their exchange and delivered a punch to his stomach. Next he punched him away and flew after him to deliver a kick to his face, and finally axe kicked him on the head, sending him shooting towards the ground.

The android held a look of fury as he descended from the sky until he finally managed to stop himself in the air. Seething in rage, the android looked around before extending both hands and calling forth the broken pieces of Android #7 and Android #9.


"Tch. It's absorbing the others without me telling it to," the man watching the fight in his computer screens growled to himself. "This is exactly why I still don't trust it."

It was a common error or maybe a miscalculation that he had with his androids. While making powerful robots that obeyed his every command was easy, the androids never seemed to behave in the manner that he wanted them to.


Goku's eyes widened as a field of sparks suddenly engulfed the area and a figure shot past him and Mara at a crazy speed.

The two Saiyans frowned when they saw the figure.

A hulking man with dull blue skin and long black hair smirked as his black eyes filled with malice. There was no mistaking that this one was strong even though they still couldn't feel anything from him.

White aura flared around Goku and Mara as they powered up to their full strength and attacked the man together.

"Haha!" The hulking man laughed as his arms extended and grabbed the two Saiyans.

"Gah!" The two cried out as electricity coursed through their bodies before the hulking man smashed them together and flung them away.

Goku gritted his teeth. He tried to stop himself in the air but the force in which he was moving made it impossible to do. A sudden sharp pain struck his back and it wasn't until he was sent hurling away again that he noticed that the man had moved behind him.

"Kame..." He began in a weak voice while keeping an eye on the enemy. "Hame!"

As the bluish white orb of ki formed on his hands, he was caught off-guard when the man disappeared from view and an elbow connected with his stomach. His attack died on his hands, as his eyes widened and he spat blood.

The hulking man smirked as he grabbed Goku by his neck and held him up.

"HA!"

A violet beam of ki tore through the air before exploding against the large back of the man who stumbled forward with a frown. He dropped Goku and turned to see Mara with both of her hands extended towards him. A growl came from the man but before he could attack, the Saiyan unleashed a barrage of ki blasts on him, each hitting their mark and keeping the enemy from moving.

"N-Nimbus..." Goku muttered weakly as he fell from the sky and was caught by his faithful cloud. He managed to sit up and reach for the cloth pouch he had on his belt. "There's only one Senzu Bean here..."

He grimaced but figured that he could still fight even on his condition. With the enemy they were fighting, the Senzu Bean could only be used in case of an emergency and, even though he was in pain, he had to fight through it.

"Thanks, but you should leave in case things get bad," he patted his cloud before jumping off and flying up the air where Mara was still firing ki blasts at the enemy. Seeing this as his chance, he quickly began to charge up his signature attack.

"Kamehameha!"

Much large and powerful than he was used to, the blue beam of ki met and engulfed its target before exploding with such force that the clouds around them were violently pushed away, leaving a perfect circle in the sky.

"Do you think that did it?" Mara asked as she approached the boy. "It's hard to know when these things are dead because we can't feel their energy."

"I hope so. Otherwise things are going to get bad," he answered through pants.

"How many Senzu Beans did you bring?"

"Only one. I never thought that we would have to fight someone so strong."

Mara frowned and focused her eyes on the smoke from the attack until, much to her horror, she made out the outline of the hulking man.

"Damn..."

Android #10 laughed as the smoke cleared to reveal that nothing – except for a few burn marks on his clothes – had happened. With a large smirk, the android pointed his hand at them, revealing a strange gray circle that opened before releasing a blast twice the size of Goku's kamehameha.

Goku and Mara split in different directions to dodge the attack and, seeing as they were separated, the android picked his target and shot towards Mara to punch her on the face before grabbing her by the arm and throwing her at Goku, who caught her before she could get too far.

"My arm," she hissed in pain and parted from Goku to see how bad it was. As she expected, her arm hung limply and any sort of movement was enough to make her gasp in pain. "It's broken..."

"Take the Senzu Bean. You need it way more than me right now."

"Let's wait, I can handle this much," she assured. "We still don't know how strong that thing is, if I take the Senzu Bean now then I'll probably just end up in this condition again."

Goku frowned, "Then what do we do. I can feel my power going down by the second."

"Like I said, we'll wait. The worse shape we are in, the more powerful we'll become once we get healed."

"Fine, but here," he said, handing her the cloth pouch, "You're the one with the broken arm, if we fight then you might be the one that's going to need it."

She chuckled at that but took the pouch regardless, "Then let's go."


Bardock narrowed his eyes as he scanned his youngest son's power level like he usually did every once in a while. Something was strange today. Unlike every other time, his son's power level was fluctuating between normal, strong, to weak. This usually meant that a battle was taking place but there was something off about the whole thing.

Mara was with him apparently and her power level had risen before shooting down rapidly. This mean that the two were not sparring but that something else entirely was going on.

Were the two of them fighting seriously?

Or was there an opponent that they were facing together?

Bardock crossed his arms and closed his eyes in deep thought before clicking his tongue and shooting towards the direction of the power levels.

It wasn't like him to think things through so thoroughly, if he was curious about it then he would just go see what was going on.


Goku gritted his teeth when his punch was blocked by the massive arm of the android who moved very rapidly for someone his size. Still, the boy did not give up, and let loose a flurry of punches and kicks in an attempt to hurt the enemy but none of his attempts worked. Instead, the android only smirked and delivered a harsh blow to his chest that knocked him aside like a fly.

Mara was forced to follow after the two as the android appeared to want to fight Goku instead of her. With her dwindling strength, as well as the speed in which the two were moving, it was near impossible for her to catch up to them. Her desire to just pop the Senzu Bean in her mouth and go fight was too much for her to bear. Was there really nothing she could do in her current state?

The android laughed maniacally as he fired a beam of ki from his fingertip and had it pierce Goku's right shoulder, making him cry out in agony before he was grabbed the back of the head and violently struck by the android's knee multiple times before he was finally let go and then blasted to the ground by a large ki blast.

'He's nothing more than an annoying pest,' Mara thought as she stood motionless in the air, her eyes wide in disbelief.

'An idiot that smiles to someone like me. An idiot that calls me his friend. Right. He's just an idiot.'

White aura flared around her.

'But...'

When she saw him being struck by the large ki blast, something within her broke loose.

Her eyes burned with hatred and her fist tightened as the white aura around her exploded around her furiously.

"You bastard!" Mara roared in rage as she shot towards the android in a blinding speed and dug her elbow into his chest, causing the startled android to let out a yelp of surprise before being knocked away.

With that done, she flew after Goku who was still falling at a very fast speed. The ground was coming closer and closer but she would reach him, at least that's what she thought before the android flew towards her and she was forced to block a kick.

The Saiyan managed to duck under a punch and lash out with a kick that somehow sent the thing away enough for her to look down helplessly as Goku continued to pick up speed. Even if he was a Saiyan, a fall in that condition could easily kill him.

"Goku!"

Time seemed to slow down. She fully expected him to fall to his death but something entirely different happened. A dark blur caught Goku and then moved in front of her with his back to her.

"Hey."

She recognized the green Saiyan armored immediately.

"What's going on here?" Bardock asked with a glare directed at the hulking android floating in the air. "Here, take him for a bit."

Goku's body was pushed on Mara who held him with a startled expression, "What are you doing here?"

"I noticed that the two of you were fighting so I came to see what was happening," he explained, "Unlike the other times that you two were fighting, this time it looked like the two of you were getting your asses handed to you."

"I see..."

Bardock looked at her briefly before smirking, "I'll kill this guy. Just make sure my son isn't dead."

Mara nodded and moved down so that she could land somewhere. She couldn't very well hold Goku and feed him a Senzu Bean with a broken arm.

"Now that they're okay," Bardock began before cracking his knuckles and looking at the android, "Let's see what you're made of."


Goku's eyes snapped open as he sat off to look around in panic.

What happened? He and Mara were fighting that strange guy just now!

"Calm down."

Hearing Mara's voice, he turned to see her standing next to him, still with her arm broken.

"What happened?"

"You're father got here."

"Hm?" He let out before looking up and almost yelling in surprise.

The power he felt just now, was that really his father?

As soon as he felt the power it was gone and he could see Bardock coming down from the sky with a big smirk on his face. His armored seemed a bit damaged but other than that he looked perfectly okay.

"Did you kill him?" Mara asked.

"Yeah," Bardock answered, "He was very strong. No wonder the two of you couldn't beat him. To think there were such strong beings on this planet."

Goku grinned in excitement despite what his father being so strong meant. He still had no intention of losing their fight but he was looking forward to it. Even after months of training he still didn't come close to how strong his father was, fighting him was sure to be fun.

Bardock seemed to notice the excitement and smirked in response, "You're a lot stronger Kakarot, but you won't beat me at this rate."

"Just wait, I'll be strong enough in a few months."

Three months, if Bardock was counting right, "I'll be waiting."

With that said the older Saiyan left the two alone on top of a tall building.

Goku, upon glancing at Mara, lost his smile, "Let's go get you a Senzu Bean. Think you can fly?"

"Not really," she answered honestly. Beads of sweat rolled down her face, as she panted heavily, in short it did not look like she was in good shape.

"Okay then," he said before moving up to her and carrying her bridal style.

"What the hell are you doing!?" She shouted, her face red.

"Hm? This way your arm won't move around when we fly," he answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Mara tried to find something else to say but decided that she didn't have the energy to do so.

"Okay."

Goku smiled as he took to the skies and Mara slowly closed her eyes to get some rest.


"So they were all destroyed..."

The man behind the many computers groaned as he began to type a few notes. It looked like Android #10 had the sufficient power to kill the brat, but that armored bastard had saved him.

Even so, it wasn't like he had been expecting his android prototypes to kill Goku, they had merely been tests. So he wasn't worried, his perfect android would be built in time, for now he would continue to work on his masterpiece.

With a smirk, he faced the shadowed pods marked with the numbers seventeen and eighteen.


Months Later ~

Goku threw dozens of jabs in the blink of an eye before jumping high in the air and going through a difficult kata from the style Kami had taught him, and then moving to one that his mother had taught him.

To Kami and Mr. Popo who watched him, he appeared to be a blur in the air as he moved in speeds that they couldn't quite follow.

Goku finished and landed on the tiled floors of the temple with a bright smile on his face. Content with his progress, he wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

Today was the day.

After months of training it was finally time for the fight he would have with his father. A fight for the protection of Earth.

"Do you have everything ready?" Kami asked.

"Yeah," Goku replied.

Wearing his usual red uniform, he even had a pouch of Senzu Beans on his belt just in case things got too dangerous. Of course, he wasn't thinking of using them to get stronger, he fully planned on giving some to his father if he ended up using them on himself.

"Then good luck Goku. Please do your best to protect the Earth."

"You can do it Goku," Mr. Popo added with a smile.

Goku smiled and waved at the two before jumping off the lookout. The wind felt cool against his body as he moved towards his father's ki.
