As the day arrived, the Shinzo Clan awaited for the rest of the group to arrive on the island they were told to go to. "Oh, come on Rayne! Can't we just tear this place apart like we used to?" Rayne immediately snapped at the impatient Kohlra, but then regained his composure. "No! This is not like our old days. We must be more strategic. We must critically think things through. We are no longer mercenaries, we are protecters of this planet, and protecters do not mindlessly destroy and murder. We now have obligations and responsibilities, understand?"
Kohlra sighed, and stated that she understood, before sitting back down to converse with the rest of the Shinzo Clan. Rayne stared off into the distance, shield in his left hand, and sword sheathed on his left hip. After a few moments of waiting, Goku, Piccolo, and Krillin all arrived.
Soon after a little while, a man named Yajirobe arrived and handed Goku a bag full of Senzu beans. He then promptly left, leaving everyone to their devices. But before long, an explosion occurred in the sky, and Yajirobe's ship fell into the water. "Look! They were attacked from above!" Piccolo exclaimed. Everyone ran to the side of the mountain and saw two figures where the ship exploded. They then hastily went down into the city below, Goku and the gang not being able to detect where they went.
"Wait, I didn't sense any power from their location!" Goku confusedly explained. "Hang on, if they're machines, then maybe we can't find them through power alone!" Rayne chuckled and looked over to Frostbyte. "Alright, listen. I need you to use your scouter to locate where they'd be at. Remember how East Kai modified it to where you could detect anything, anywhere?" Frostbyte nodded and powered on his scouter, looking over everyone, checking power levels and seeing different waves, before catching a very unique set of electromagnetic waves down in the city.
"Hey Goku! We found them!" Rayne exclaimed as he took his clan over to him. "Frostbyte here has a scouter that can detect more than just power levels, and he's managed to get a fix on the androids." Goku smiled and commended Frostbyte on his equipment. He immediately then turned to Gohan. "Hey, Gohan, while we go and fight the androids, I need you to check on Yajirobe for me. He probably bailed out before he crashed." Gohan nodded, and with that said, all of them dashed off to deal with the androids.
Rayne and Yamcha were the first to arrive at the scene, and the others looked elsewhere because halfway through the flight Frostbyte's scouter malfunctioned, and left the group to find them the old fashioned way. The two found many people on the ground, with a very damaged car amongst the carnage. After a few moments of examining the situation, the two androids appeared and caught Yamcha in a death grasp. Before Rayne could help, a semi swerved into a nearby gas station and caused a large explosion, keeping him away from Yamcha.
By the time he got to Yamcha, Yamcha was dead on the ground, and the androids were in a standoff with the others. Rayne quickly drew his sword, still slightly struggling to carry it, and readied for battle. At this time, Krillin was already taking Yamcha to where they originally met. "These are the mighty androids? How could they be when they're just, well, that?" Kohlra was acting slightly more arrogant than usual, which was completely out of character for her. "Kohlra, mind your tongue. Either show respect, or leave." She was shocked at this sudden antagonistic order from Rayne, but she obeyed and stayed quiet.
The group was preparing to fight, yet Goku proposed that they leave the city limits on order to stay away from civilian casualties. In response, Dr. Gero began blasting multiple beams of energy around the city, to "Deal with" the problem of innocent deaths. After a few attacks, Rayne had had enough. "Stoooooooooop!!!" Rayne charged Dr. Gero and slashed at him, leaving a large gash in his stomach, but no sort of blood came out. Rayne stepped back, and was shocked at this.
"I was under the impression you wanted the streets free of onlookers. Evidently, my solution does not please you." Goku was visibly upset by this, and exclaimed out quickly. "Follow me so I can turn you into shrapnel!" Dr. Gero laughed, while his android companion responded. "Your victory will not be the outcome." Dr. Gero then shocked everyone with a single sentence. "Choose the place of your defeat, Goku." The entire group was shocked at how he knew Goku's name.
"Hey, how do you know his name?" Dr. Gero responded quickly and concisely. "We know much more than that. We know that your name is Piccolo, you're the one called Tien, and the five of you over there is the Shinzo Clan. If you want to go further, then I can tell you about the tragic history of the clan, and how the leader was so consumed by rage that he murdered all of his clan." That statement was enough to evoke a rageful reaction from Rayne. He walked forward towards them, standing directly in front of the two androids. "If you know that, then your little fucking machine should be displaying fear, because I'm going to turn you into molecular garbage."
Rayne immediately stabbed Android 19, and backhanded Dr. Gero, sending him flying through the fire. He then pulled out his sword, and decapitated Android 19, followed up by kicking his body into the air and across the island. Rayne breathed heavily, and sheathed his sword, his breathing slowing down ever so slightly, until Kohlra walked up to him. "Rayne, listen, I think it's time for you to go." He turned around and looked at the rest of his clan there. "Wait, what? What do you mean?" Kohlra sighed and looked away from him. "Do I have to spell it out? We've all decided that you're too aggressive to lead us, and we need a stable mind. I'm sorry, Rayne."
Rayne ran his hand through his hair and paced, obviously being upset by this news. "So, that's it then? After I've saved you from those predicaments you were in? After I treated you all like family? After I brought you back to life!?" Rayne increasingly got more angry in his tone, and so Kohlra promptly returned the same tone. "You were the one who killed us in the first place!" Rayne stared at them, the remaining members of his clan, and now they're exiling him from his own clan.
"Fine, I'll leave, but the next time you die, I won't be there to help you." Rayne then turned around and flew away, leaving Goku, Piccolo, Tien, and the Shinzo Clan, now lead by Kohlra, to deal with what was coming next.
