Goku leapt out of the Briefs' spaceship, chuckling to himself. "Come on, you guys. How are you not excited? I can feel at least one huge power level already!" Vegeta rolled his eyes as he lowered to the ground.
"Androids don't have power levels, you idiot. Whatever it is you're feeling, we're not here to fight it."
"Maybe, but that's not to say it couldn't lead us to the android. After all, we are kind of new here. Come on, I can use my Instant Transmission."
"Whatever." The whole crew latched onto Goku and he pressed two fingers to his forehead. Just like that, they were suddenly all right in the middle of a street. Piccolo leapt over a car just as they landed, glancing over at Goku angrily.
"Oops! My bad." They rushed out of the street, looking around as they went. "Do you guys feel that power level now, though?" The whole group nodded grudgingly. "It seems like it's coming from right over there." As if on cue, the gate he had been gesturing to opened, revealing a group of children.
"Kakarot, get it!" They all understood at the same time and charged directly at the huge robot following the kids.
"My name is Norm." Just as Vegeta swung at it for the first time, it disappeared, reappearing just behind him. A claw extended from his arm and wrapped around Vegeta's neck, effectively holding him in place. Piccolo hung back, firing energy blasts into the robot's body, but they just seemed to melt into it. All this had transpired before the kids even had time to react, but now they were panicking.
"Whoa! Calm down!" One little one was hiding behind the fence, the redhead was trying to flag down the Z Fighters, the bulky one had squared up to Krillin, the little girl was waving a bright orange sash in the air, and the green haired one with the huge power level was just standing there. The only one to pay any attention to them was Goku, but luckily he was able to get everyone's attention by transforming straight into a Super Saiyan 3.
As the pandemonium calmed, Norm released his grip on Vegeta and the groups sized each other up. There was an awkward silence until Phineas finally got up the nerve to speak. "So, are these the guys you were talking about, Norm?"
"I'm afraid not. I don't have any data on them whatsoever." Vegeta gestured to Norm.
"Look, we have no quarrel with you, but we were sent here to destroy an android, and there he is." Each of the kids looked back at Norm as he began speaking.
"Ah, yes. I believe I understand now. You are searching for my brother android. I am also looking for him in an attempt to detain him. If we could join forces, I believe our chances of success would be greatly increased." Goku eyed him suspiciously for a moment, but began to nod slowly.
"Alright, we'll go with you. But just know, if you give me any reason to fight, I won't be holding back." Norm nodded in agreement. "Great. Now that that's out of the way, I have a few questions for you guys. First things first, how did you get such a high power level?" He looked directly at Ferb. "Seriously, you've got to have at least 70,000,000 there, and I didn't get that powerful until I became a Super Saiyan." Ferb reached a hand back and drew the rod from within his overalls. After displaying it, he slid it back in and Baljeet tapped a few keys. Almost instantly, Ferb disappeared and reappeared in midair with a foot aimed at Goku's head. Goku reached up and blocked with a single finger, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "So it works in tandem. Huh. Say, aren't you kids a bit young to be playing around with worldbreaking technology?" Phineas looked at him blankly for a second before replying.
"Yes, yes we are." There was an awkward silence before Vegeta finally lost his patience.
"Are we waiting for Christmas, or are we going to find an android?" Unbeknownst to them, however, there was a redhead with a recorder sneaking around the corner. She clicked it on just as Norm began speaking again.
"I don't believe we'll have to go very far. My brother android seems to have reprogrammed himself to track and capture the highest concentrations of energy he can find. Considering the amount of energy I'm reading here, he should be back in about fifteen minutes. That being said, we might want to consider moving on out of the residential area." They all nodded. Candace, just barely having time enough to register any of this, decided to reveal herself.
"Hey, guys. So, where exactly were you planning on going?" There was a silence as they all thought for a moment.
"That depends. Kakarot, where did you leave the Senzu beans?" Goku scratched the back of his head.
"Heh. I think they're still back at the ship." Vegeta rubbed a palm against his face.
"Of course they are. Well, we have a destination. Let's get moving."
Back on the edge of the Tri-State Area, Perry had just landed his jetpack and was looking around. There was the ship, there was the huge government setup around it, there was the mysterious military leader with an unidentifiable facial marring, but no aliens in sight. Just as he had come to this conclusion, his wrist communicator beeped in.
"Agent P, we've recently received intelligence that the aliens are on the move. They seem to have some form of teleportation ability, and they've used it to move straight to Danville. In fact, they're on your street right now! Get back here, Agent P, on the double!" Perry didn't need to be told twice. He leapt back into his jetpack and was gone in a flash.
Whew! Honestly, I have to say I seriously appreciate the waves of attention this story's been getting. Not trying to brag or anything, but I was kind of expecting this with the first P+F and DBZ crossover on the site. Also, the dedicated reader award goes to Fear, even though I can't directly reply to him. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you in the next chapter.
