The Training for the Androids
The words were true, even Vegeta thought the words were true. Okara looked up at the warriors who have just been defeated. Each and every person was bleeding from somewhere.
"You're right, I hate to admit it but you are right." Trunks said trying to break the silence surrounding them.
"Sons," Vegeta said, "you will train with me. We will be using an enlarged gravity chamber."
"I guess I will try and get to train with Gohan and possibly Goku if he ever wakes up." Piccolo stated. Okara stared at his jacket, trying not to make eye contact with anyone. The jacket was torn and the Saiyan royal symbol was destroyed.
"We can make a new one Okara." Trunks said trying to cheer his brother up.
"I guess we can." Okara replied with a sigh.
"Come on boys, we're going home." Vegeta ordered. The trio rose into the air and left Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien by themselves.
"Well I guess I need to go to Kame house." Krillin said.
"Hmph you weakling. Why did you not help us?" Piccolo questioned Krillin with a look of pure hatred on his face.
"W-w-w-w-well I knew I would just get in the way and… that girl was pretty." Krillin replied with nervousness clear in his voice.
"Piccolo let him go, he's fine." Tien said.
"Fine but if this happens again I will not hold back on you Krillin." Piccolo said.
"W-will do." Krillin replied.
Meanwhile at Capsule Corp. Vegeta, Okara, Trunks have returned for training.
"Welcome home my handsome men." Bulma called out while looking at Okara, Trunks, and Vegeta.
"Bulma is there a way to make a bigger gravity chamber that can handle three Super Saiyans?" Vegeta replied with no love in his tone or face. Bulma looked at him and instantly realized that someone had made his pride shrink.
"Yeah," Bulma stated, "but you need to watch the boys while I'm at it."
A sigh was released from Vegeta's mouth he moved over and gave Bulma a small kiss on the cheek. Bulma gave Vegeta the baby versions of Okara and Trunks before running off to build the enlarged gravity chamber.
"How are my little princes doing?" Vegeta asked the babies.
"Um dad what are you doing?" Trunks asked with a look of amazement visible on his face.
"I-I-I'm taking care of the boys of course." Vegeta answered.
After about an hour or two Bulma came back into the room to tell them the news.
"Guys it's done." Bulma stated.
"Ok mom, thanks." Trunks responded.
"Oh by the way, why is Okara not talking?" Bulma asked with concern in her voice.
"Well his jacket was ripped. It was the only thing that he had of dad."
"Oh, well let me see the original so I can make a better version of it."
"Ok I'll try and pry it away from him." Just then Okara walked through the door and gave Bulma the destroyed jacket while giving her a hug. She felt tears start to roll off of his face.
"This jacket was made by both you and dad," Okara stated, "he made the Saiyan patches but you had the jacket." Bulma looked at Trunks, his face was full of sadness.
"Okara it's ok," Trunks stated, "we can make a new one with dad and mom by our side." Just then Vegeta walked into the doorway to watch what was happening. All Vegeta saw was his sons crying in Bulma's arms.
"T-the jacket is all I had left of dad." Okara let out, letting out all of his sadness that was built up over 15 years. Vegeta heard this as nothing but a simple cry.
"He's no true Saiyan." Vegeta thought to himself as he slowly walked away.
"I know how hard it was for dad to try and lighten up but I know he cared for us," Okara started, "he fought the androids and died to protect us." Vegeta stopped walking and turned around to his sons, tears filled his eyes as he slowly thought of losing his children.
"I-I can't even think of what I would do if…" Vegeta thought to himself, letting a few tears roll down his cheek.
"Okara!" Vegeta yelled, trying to act as if he didn't care for his son.
"Dad!?" Okara answered back in embarrassment.
"I'll help re-make that jacket of yours," Vegeta stated, "since you seem to love it so much." Okara ran to his father and gave him a gigantic hug, Vegeta did not embrace with his son but instead gave him a cold stare. Trunks picked up Okara's tattered jacket from the floor and brought it over to Bulma.
"I told him that I would never allow him to cry," Trunks started, "whether it was about my death or anyone else's I have never wanted to see him in sorrow." Trunks felt tears in his eyes as he remembered his promise to Okara.
"Okara, I will protect you and I will make sure you are never sad again," Trunks said, "we will avenge father and everyone else who died from those androids!"
"O-ok Trunks." Okara replied, wiping the tears from his eyes. The two brothers embraced.
"I will protect you too Trunks," Okara stated with his fist clenched, "I won't let anyone kill you without killing me first!"
Meanwhile, Piccolo just reached Goku's house to tell Gohan about the Android threat.
"Gohan, we need to train to defeat those monsters!" Piccolo yelled.
"Why would he need to even FIGHT them?!" Chichi asked.
"Because Goku is as good as dead, Okara, Vegeta, and Trunks can't defeat them, and there are three of them." Piccolo explained with worry in his voice.
"W-w-well Tien could help right?!" Chichi asked.
"Sadly no." Piccolo said, worried about the fate of the earth.
"Fine, but he better not die." Chichi responded.
"Come on Gohan, we're going to Kami's," Piccolo ordered, "I've got business to attend to."
"What?" Gohan asked.
"Kami and I will become one." Piccolo responded.
"Wait, what?!" Gohan asked, confused on what his mentor meant.
"You will see." Piccolo stated while walking towards the door.
"I need to call Roshi and see if he can get Krillin out here so we can move Goku to a safer spot." Chichi stated while reaching for the phone.
A few minutes later
"Mr. Popo look over the look out while I'm away." Kami told Popo, getting ready to leave the lookout possibly forever.
"Kami please don't leave me alone here." Popo pleaded.
"It has to be done, old friend." Kami replied. The sound of two people stepping onto the floor of the look out stopped Popo and Kami's conversation.
"I'm here Kami," Piccolo stated, "I'm ready to become one again."
"Ok Piccolo I am ready as well." Kami replied to this odd request. Piccolo put his hand on Kami's chest. Nothing happened for a few seconds until a blinding light started coming from Kami. When the light disappeared Piccolo was the only one there, Kami was gone.
"Gohan we're going to train up here for now." Piccolo stated.
"O-o-ok you seem a whole lot stronger Mr. Piccolo." Gohan responded.
"Well it's because we were once a single being," Piccolo explained, "we shared both power and life."
"Oh, I see now." Gohan responded.
A few hours later
"16 what is your deal bro?" 17 questioned.
"To kill Goku." 16 responded with his monotone voice.
"Well that didn't get us anywhere did it 17?" 18 teased.
"At least I was trying to talk to him sis." 17 retorted. The trio had already made it to Goku's house but were late in finding him. They each went inside to look for Goku.
"I haven't found any traces of 'em have you bro?" 18 asked while looking in the bedroom.
"Nope, I don't think that they're here." 17 responded.
"Affirmative, no ki signatures anywhere." 16 reported.
"Since when were you able to detect ki signatures?" 18 asked.
"Since my creation." 16 replied.
"It would have come in handy while we were tracking Goku ya know?!" 17 retorted.
"Well I would have told you if you had only asked." 16 teased.
"Okara are you sure about this?!" Trunks panicked.
"Trunks if we don't we'll risk everyone's lives!" Okara yelled.
"Come on Trunks, or do I need to beat you back into shape?" Vegeta teased. Trunks gave in and went Super Saiyan at full power. The trio started throwing punches and kicks at one another. Vegeta landed a good hit on Okara's stomach, weakening him for a surprise attack by Trunks. Okara braced himself and tripped Trunks. Vegeta found this as his opportunity to attack Trunks with his new attack.
"Trunks prepare to have almost no feeling in your body when I'm done with you," Vegeta screamed, "BIG BANG ATTACK!" There was a gigantic explosion and screams of pain coming from Okara and Trunks. The attack left Okara in a tangled mess of blood. Trunks was in a small crater thanks in part to the 40 times gravity in the room. Trunks was bleeding profusely from his back and arms, his entire jacket was ripped to shreds. The duo slowly got up and rose into the air, they nodded at each other. The fight resumed like normal, only that Okara and Trunks were now weakened. Vegeta was pushed into a corner and started to bleed from the hits to the head by both brothers. Okara hit Vegeta in the back of the head making Vegeta stumble into an attack by Trunks. Trunks kicked Vegeta into the air and then hit him in mid-air with a knee to the chest. They both landed in a crater, making the entire planet shake.
"Huff, huff, huff ok boys that's going to do for now." Vegeta stated.
"Ok father." Trunks replied while trying his best to crawl out of the crater.
A few moments later
Okara, Vegeta, and Trunks went back into the room and continued training for a whole month. Now let's check on Gohan and Piccolo's progress shall we?
"Huff, You're good Mr. Piccolo." Gohan stated, blood coming from his mouth and forehead.
"Huff. You too Gohan." Piccolo stated, bleeding from his mouth and arm. Piccolo launched himself forward while Gohan ducked beneath him. Gohan launched Piccolo in the air with a kick and followed him until Piccolo started to fall. Then Gohan punched Piccolo in stomach, following Piccolo's fall Gohan added a few more punches for an extra measure. The two landed and created a crater the size of a normal building.
"MASANKO-HA!" Gohan yelled out hitting Piccolo in the chest with an energy attack.
"Gohan that's enough…" Piccolo stated, bleeding heavily from his mouth and chest. Just then Goku appeared and looked around.
"DADDY!" Gohan yelled out.
"Yeah I was fine after taking some more of that medicine." Goku explained.
"Good to have you back Goku." Piccolo said.
"Thanks, where's Kami by the way?" Goku asked.
"He's fused with me now." Piccolo explained.
"Ah I see." Goku responded.
"Hey guys guess what I found!" A familiar voice yelled out.
"KRILLIN!" The trio yelled out.
"Yeah it's me alright." Krillin replied.
"What did you find Krillin?" Gohan asked.
"I think I found a basement to Gero's lab!" Krillin answered
"No way!" Piccolo yelled in amazement.
"Gohan can you come with me? I was about to go and grab Trunks and Okara while I was at it." Krillin asked.
"Heck yeah!" Gohan responded.
After convincing Okara and Trunks to look too, the four made their way to Gero's lab.
"See this was the door I found while I was snooping for any information on the androids." Krillin explained while opening a trap door.
"Ok let's go then." Trunks ordered. They all jumped down the hole to find an entire underground lab.
"Look!" Gohan called out.
"What is it Gohan?" Trunks asked.
"I think I found the blueprints to the androids." Gohan responded.
"Hey Okara I found a strange baby over here!" Krillin yelled out. Okara walked over to see what Krillin was talking about.
"AH WHAT IS THAT THING?!" Okara yelled. Krillin looked around for anything to explain this strange creature. Trunks and Gohan walked up to Okara and Krillin with blueprints in their hands.
"What's that?" Okara asked, pointing at the bundle of blueprints in Gohan's hands.
"These are the blueprints to the androids." Gohan responded.
"Well we have what we need." Trunks stated. All four of them started flying into the air. Okara looked down and launched a giant energy blast to destroy the underground lab.
