Piccolo descended down to the ground and placed his weighted clothing back upon himself. He showed a small smile of triumph, trying not to look too pleased with himself. 'Piccolo,' Gohan yelled. 'You did it! The Androids are destroyed.'

'Yes,' Piccolo said. 'I guess I trained so much I didn't realize how strong I had become.'

Tien laughed. 'Normally I don't like seeing you two so strong. But for the moment, it's great to have you on our side.'

'I can't believe it,' Krillin said with excitement in his voice. 'We did it, even without Goku!'

'Indeed you have become strong,' Vegeta said. He eyed Piccolo momentarily, trying to measure the full potential he was capable of. 'When Kakarot is healed, come find me. Then we shall see a real battle of epic proportions.'

Vegeta turned away from them and with a quick burst; he shot into the air and was soon gone.

Piccolo sighed and finally relaxed. 'I suppose we should go see how Goku's doing. He'll be glad to hear of the android's destruction.'

The four of them prepared to leave. Piccolo outstretched his arm to destroy Twenty's severed head – but he was stopped when he felt the approach of a great power.

'Hey!' Gohan yelled. 'Someone's coming!'

The flying silhouette soon came into view and then it stopped. There hovered the being known as Trunks.

It took several moments for the four of them to comprehend the arrival of this new visitor, but finally Piccolo spoke: 'Trunks,' Piccolo called out with shock. 'Why are you here!?'

Trunks looked down at the head of Android Twenty. 'It's not that one either!' he said. 'Who was that? What were you fighting?'

Piccolo's face lit up in shock. 'The androids of course,' he replied. 'We were fighting the androids you told us about.'

Trunks stared down at the head again, worried. 'What's going on?' he asked.

'You mean…' Piccolo said. 'You mean these aren't the androids?'

'No way,' Krillin yelled. 'Did he just say that those weren't them?'

'No,' Trunks replied. 'I saw the head of the other one as well. I have no idea who these two are. They aren't the androids I know.'

'Wait,' Krillin cut in. 'Piccolo did you just say that his name was Trunks?'

Trunks raised his head in a slightly surprised and worried fashion. Piccolo looked at Trunks apologetically while seeking permission. Trunks nodded his head and looked away.

'Yes I did,' Piccolo replied to Krillin. 'He is the son of Vegeta, from the future.'

'Wow,' Gohan exclaimed. 'I guess that explains why you could go Super Saiyan.'

Trunks began to feel fed up. 'It isn't important!' he snapped. 'Those aren't the androids and we need to find the real ones! That's what's important.'

Gohan took a step backwards; embarrassed.

'Wait,' Krillin said. 'Maybe it's no big deal. History turned out different anyways right? Maybe the androids are just changed from what he knows.'

'I hope so,' Tien replied, with a nervous look masking his face.

Before anybody could say anything else, the sound of an approaching hover car was heard. Krillin was the first to recognize it. 'Hey,' he said. 'It's Bulma.'

Slowly, the hover car began its descent, landing on a flat area in the sea of rocks. The roof popped open and out climbed Bulma, carrying a baby; which was the Trunks of the present time. They were followed out by Yajirobe, a semi member of the Z Fighters, whose only moment of glory was almost four years ago.

'Hey,' Bulma said greeting everyone. 'Where are the androids?'

'That's what we'd like to now,' Piccolo replied, staring at Trunks. 'Two beings who were no doubt androids encountered us. Vegeta, who has since left, destroyed one and I destroyed the other, but according to him (Piccolo pointed at Trunks) they weren't the right Androids.'

Bulma stared at Trunks. 'Hey!' she yelled. 'Aren't you that guy who was from the future?'

Trunks nodded and looked down at the ground. 'Yes I am,' he replied. 'Also, my name is Trunks. That's me in you arms.'

Bulma's eyes widened. She stared down at the baby in her arms and screamed. 'Wow,' she yelled. 'I guess that makes sense. Well, at least I know you're going to look hot when you grow up! I mean you're such a mean looking baby!'

The older Trunks's face went red and he turned away in embarrassment. Piccolo quickly changed the subject. 'We need to know who the real androids are and where they're located.'

'Hey!' Bulma yelled. She was over by the head of Android Twenty, observing it. 'This isn't an android. This is Doctor Gero.'

'What?' Piccolo stammered. 'Are you saying that that android is actually Gero himself?'

'Yeah?' Krillin cut in. 'What are you saying?'

'I'm saying that I've seen his picture before,' Bulma replied. 'And I swear that that's him.' She pointed down at the mechanical head. 'He's pretty famous among scientists. He probably turned himself into a cyborg so he could live forever.'

'Unbelievable,' Trunks said. 'History must have changed somehow. Could it have been a side effect of my coming to the past before?'

'It doesn't matter,' Piccolo replied. 'There are probably more androids at his lab. Perhaps the ones you speak of are there.'

'I suppose,' Trunks said. 'But how are we going to figure out where his lab is located?'

'Hey Bulma, do you know where his lab is?' Krillin asked.

Bulma nodded. 'Yeah, actually I do. I think that it was in the mountains by North City. There was a rumor that he had converted his cave into a lab, if he hasn't moved of course.'

'Alright,' Piccolo said. 'We'll go to the lab and search for any androids. If there are any there, it's unlikely that they'll be activated. We'll destroy them and the lab.'

They thanked Bulma and flew into the sky, towards North City and Doctor Gero's laboratory.

Excitement surged through the blood of Vegeta. Soon he would fight his arch enemy: Goku. Or as he called him by his true Saiyan name: Kakarot.

Vegeta flew through the air at near maximum velocity for his base state. He had decided that it would be best for him to rest himself for the battle against Kakarot – that is, when Kakarot was recovered.

Vegeta was now flying over a small town, Ginger Town. The boring lives of the humans disgusted him immensely, but there was something strange about this town. It felt as though the Chi that the humans possessed, even though it was small, was being distorted unnaturally. Such a thing shouldn't have been happening. Vegeta stopped and surveyed the town, and then he heard gun shots, and screams.

Moving quickly, Vegeta felt curiosity as to what could be causing this chaos, and then he felt it: Frieza's, King Cold, Goku, Piccolo and his own Chi.

'What the hell is this,' Vegeta stammered. 'What kind of trick is this?'

Vegeta was now in clear view of what was going on, and then he saw it: a tall green bug like being with a massive tail, holding one of the humans. The monster's tail rose, revealing a sharp, needle like point, which it jabbed deep into the human's chest.

Vegeta watched on as the human began to fade in a grisly fashion. It was as though the human's skin was deteriorating, while slowly melting away. It was a disturbing sight to behold.

When the human had completely faded, the monster looked up at Vegeta – who stepped back in shock. 'No way,' Vegeta yelled. 'It can sense Chi!'

The monster dived into the air and flew at a reasonably fast speed towards the Saiyan prince, stopping several feet away.

'What the hell are you!?' Vegeta yelled.

The bug like being smiled; 'My dear Vegeta,' it said. 'I am your brother.'

A look of shock appeared on Vegeta's face, and then the monster raised his fist and walloped Vegeta in the face, sending him crashing into a building.

After taking a few seconds to recover, Vegeta got up and returned to the sky. 'I don't know who you are, or wherever the hell you came from, but this ends now!' Vegeta began to power up. Debris from the ground began to rise into the air, as well as heavier objects such as cars, and then Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan.

The Monster hardly looked shocked at all. 'So you can become a Super Saiyan?' it said. 'It won't make a difference. I'll still be the one who ends up killing you.'
