Hey folks, I have a favor to ask ya'll. There's a couple parts of this chapter I'm a bit antsy about and I was hoping some of you could help me out. Just send me a message of anything that seemed a bit stressed. Like I shouldn't have bothered mentioning it. That would help tremendously.

"I still don't see why I have to be blue," a southern accented voice complained as its owner walked through a large room.

"Would you quit your whining Tretton?" Gero snapped. "It's getting very old."

"Yeah, you should enjoy your new body," Angie agreed. "I know I am."

"At least ya'll look the same," Tretton countered. "I look like an oversized blueberry!"

"I don't look anything like my old body," Cell spoke up, "and you don't see me complaining."

"That's because anythin' would've been better than your old body."

"Well it is your own fault you look like that," Gero said this time. "You got most of your body destroyed by the saiyan you fought, not to mention that there weren't any blueprints for your body. You'll just have to make due with what you've been given."

All the blue android could do was grumble to himself. However, his sulking didn't last much longer as he noticed a small group of people in front of the doorway they had used earlier. The closer he and his "comrades" came to that group, the more he came to recognizing them.

Well, at least one of them anyways.

"Do ya'll see what I see?" Tretton asked aloud.

"Yes, I believe I do," Cell agreed. "Unless my eyes are deceiving me, I'd say those are saiyans in front of us."

"Saiyans you say?" Gero spoke. Using the optics of his eyes, he focused on the trio before them, a grin forming on his face. "Well, well, well, it appears we've run into some long lost 'friends.'"

"You serious?" the taller Angie questioned as he looked at the warriors. A similar grin soon appeared on his face as he took interest in the taller saiyan. "Well I'll be. And here I was just itching to give my new body a test drive."

At that point, all four androids stopped, focusing hungry eyes on the saiyans before them. "It's been awhile monkey," Gero called out.

"It hasn't been long enough," the eldest one said spitefully. "I don't know what you're doing still alive but I'm gonna make sure your dead and buried this time."

"Oh, you won't be getting that chance monkey," the old man replied. "Thanks to our benefactor, you won't stand a chance against us."

The flea bag narrowed his eyes, soon taking notice of the stone artifact in the android's hands. "And what exactly are you doing with that?"

"Huh?" was Gero's response before he realized what the saiyan was talking about. "You mean this? That is no concern of yours, especially since you'll be dead in a few minutes."

Before any of the fighters could respond, the former government leader raised a hand in the air and snapped his fingers. Instantly, Tretton, Angie, and Cell launched themselves at the three saiyans, each one heading for the one that had killed them previously.

Reacting quickly, Trunks and Goten took off to a side, one to the left and the other the right, with Tretton and Cell following them respectively. Gohan, on the other hand, crossed his arms in front of himself, feeling the impact of a punch Angie had thrown at him soon after; a shockwave from the collision blaring across the room.

Much to Angie's surprise, Gohan didn't seem fazed from the blow, the complete opposite of what he expected. He had assumed that one hit from his new strength would've broken every bone in the monkey's arms, followed by his opponent flying off his feet and into a wall. Instead, the saiyan hadn't even budged.

Taking that moment to his advantage, Gohan straightened one of his crossed arms out, grabbing Angie by his extended arm. Quickly pulling his other arm back, the saiyan warrior simultaneously pulled the tall android towards him and threw his cocked arm at the machine's face.

Reacting, Angie jerked his head to a side, dodging the punch. Immediately, he threw his other fist out, seeing it land this time on his foe's chest. The hit caused Gohan to lose the air in his lungs as well as some saliva in his mouth, his grip on the android's other arm loosening.

Grinning wickedly, Angie began slamming punch after punch into the saiyan's midsection; Gohan being completely helpless to stop the pounding, at least for that point of time.

Getting a hold on his stunned body, he immediately swung both of his arms in front of himself, catching Angie's incoming punches by his wrists. For a moment, neither fighter did anything as the android poured his strength into pushing his fists forward, hoping to overcome his opponent, even as Gohan used his strength to maintaining his grip out Angie's wrists.

"How…dare you touch me," the former seventeenth chair growled to Gohan, a look of strain and frustration on his face. Not liking the guy's attitude, the saiyan pulled his arms away from each other, pulling Angie's arms with them. Quickly, the warrior lunged himself up towards the air with one of his legs bent, his knee colliding with the android's chin and stopping his jump.

With Angie stunned by the move, Gohan immediately pulled his leg back and swung it forward, slamming the same knee into the android's face and letting him stumble backwards as he released his hold on the man's arms.

Landing back on the ground, Gohan then leapt backwards and to a side, putting some much desired distance between him and his opponent. Holding both of his arms in front of himself, he powered up a decent sized ball of ki in his palms. "Take this!" the Son boy cried out as he fired the blast.

Angie, however, had recovered himself, having already turned to face the incoming beam. Instead of getting out of the way though, the android thrust his arms up on either side of himself, his hands open and fingers spread.

If Gohan really focused, he could've sworn some sort of invisible shield had appeared around his opponent. Instead of just blocking his ki blast though, the moment the blast hit the "shield," the beam dispersed, the particles being dragged towards his foe's hands and getting sucked into them.

Oh this was great; Angie was an energy absorber now. Just perfect.

Compared to what Gohan was going though, Goten was having a cakewalk.

Perhaps if he had some cake, he would've eaten it too.

"Hold still you pest!" the new version of Cell shouted as he charged at the saiyan in midair. Up until this point, the younger Son had merely been dodging whatever attacks the green android had thrown at him. To him, it was pretty reminiscent of their last encounter.

All he had to do then was make sure it had the same result.

Seeing the android's next punch coming at him, the saiyan used a burst of speed to disappear, just as the blow flew through the space he had just occupied. In an instant, he reappeared behind his opponent, a bent elbow being held in front of him as he rammed it into the back of Cell's head.

The blow caused the insect-like fighter to stumble forward before he retained control of himself. Immediately, he stiffed one of his hands out, his fingers standing tightly against each other and the thumb curled into the palm. Turning his head to see over his right shoulder, he swung the hand at the saiyan, hoping to land the chop.

Unfortunately for the android, Goten caught the attack easily with his right hand gripping the insect's forearm. With a smirk on his face, the Son boy enjoyed every moment that Cell had raw hatred on his face.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his brother struggling a bit against his own opponent. Not liking that scene at all, he then pulled Cell by his arm towards him, moving his left hand to grab the android by his bicep. Spinning his body to his right, Goten then threw the green bug towards his brother's fight, nearly cheering when his aim proved to be true as Cell crashed into Angie.

With the two android in a pile of arms and legs a short distance away, Gohan blinked in astonishment with one of his fists cocked by his side and ready to be used, trying to figure out what had happened. Looking to his left, he saw his opponent and that green looking android jumbled together; to his right, an excited looking Goten.

Looked like he owed his little bro a favor now.

Similar to the fight Gohan had encountered, Trunks was having a hell of a time keeping up with Tretton. As the saiyan flew over the ground backwards, keeping an eye on his opponent, the android pursued him relentlessly.

With a balled up fist, the bulky blue fighter lunged at his fleeing foe, his punch missing him as it slammed into the ground, crushing the stone on impact.

Thinking he had a shot at attacking, Trunks reversed his movement and charged in, only to end up dodging as Tretton rotated the arm sticking out of the ground, allowing him to swing his body in midair and lash out with a vicious kick.

Landing a ways away, the oddly colored saiyan watched as the android wrenched his arm out of the ground and began to rush at him once more. Raising his arms up, Trunks gathered his ki and fired a blast, the beam impacting the charging monstrosity in his white chest.

Instead of stopping him though, Tretton kept running, closing in on the saiyan. Completely surprised, Trunks just stood there as he sent energy into his ki blast until Tretton planted a very powerful punch to his face, cutting off his energy flow and sending him flying away.

Recovering in air, Trunks did a flip and landed on the floor, skidding for a small distance as Tretton began charging him again. Deciding to take action first, the saiyan warrior rushed in on the android, using his speed to his advantage as he threw and landed a punch to Tretton's midsection. Using a burst of speed then, he disappeared, reappearing in midair by his opponent's head, swinging a kick that nailed the blue brute in the face.

Using the momentum from his kick, Trunks then flipped over his foe's body, landing a short distance away and fell into a fighting stance, ready for the android's next move.

What he got, however, was not an act of retaliation. Instead, Tretton straighten himself out, his arms at his sides as he turned to look at the oddly colored saiyan. "Is that all ya got kiddie? I have to say, I'm very disappointed. I was expectin' somethin' better from you of all people."

"Well not all of us have a skeleton made of metal," Trunks shot back.

That made Tretton look thoughtful, or at least that what it appeared to be with his new face. "Ya may have a point 'bout that, but that didn't stop ya the last time. You were the one to kill me after all."

Well, that was a point Trunks couldn't argue with either; he had killed the guy the last time, albeit barely. Heck, it took his sword just to….

There! That was it! He'd just use his sword and cut this guy into itty bitty pieces! Good plan Trunks, very good plan.

Reaching to his sword hilt, he grasped it and drew his blade, holding it out before him as he charged in to attack. All the while, Tretton slipped into a defensive stance, waiting for the first strike to occur. With a swing, Trunks sliced at the android, only to have the slash blocked by the blue brute's right forearm, almost as if the arm was a physical shield of some sort. Undeterred, Trunks tried another hack, which had the same result as the last sword swing as the android's left forearm was used in the same manner as last time. This time though, Tretton threw a brutal punch with his right hand, landing it in the warrior's stomach.

With the sudden blow sending a huge jolt of pain through his body, Trunks began to drop towards the ground, stopping as Tretton grabbed the back of one of his armor straps with his left hand. The next thing the saiyan knew the hulk's free hand was in his face with a bright red orb of ki.

"I got a present for ya kiddie," Tretton whispered to the young man before he unleashed the gathered ki, the blast biting into the youth as he screamed silently into it. The release of Tretton's hand on his back allowed the fighter to go flying backwards, landing on the ground with a thud as smoke rose from his body.

Almost immediately, Gohan and Goten were at his side, the older Son staying on his feet as he looked at the lavender haired boy and the younger Son kneeling next to him, slowly raising his top up so he could sit. "You okay Trunks?" the young saiyan asked.

"I'm terrific, never been better," Trunks responded as he winched from the burns on his face.

A loud laughter rang out in front of the three, causing them to turn their attention that way, though Trunks looked threw squinted eyes. "Don't worry now kiddie! There's more where that came from!" Tretton taunted.

Soon, the other androids were standing next to the blue brute, including Gero, who looked like he was enjoying the scene immensely. "I have to say, when Wheelo brought us back, I never thought I'd get to see these three beaten so easily."

"Wheelo? Who in the name of Kami is that?" Gohan demanded.

"The one who brought us back to life monkey. Thanks to his medical techniques and a few artificial bodies, we're stronger than ever."

"So that explains it," the eldest saiyan said. "These guys are just like Sixteen; just with a need to have their heads rebooted."

"Sixteen?" Gero questioned before realization dawned on him. "So that's what Jericho calls himself? It's fitting I must say. You wouldn't mind telling me where he is, would you? I have some unfinished business with him and I'm quite sure that Wheelo's time experiment can wait a little while longer."

All three saiyans' eyes narrowed, though Trunks' were already there. So these guys wanted to use the Time Milieu for their own devices; made sense.

They were just gonna have to wait in line though. The three of them were gonna use that thing first, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. There was just one problem.

Those damned androids had the second key in their possession.

Leaning down towards the younger saiyans as subtly as possible, Gohan asked "Trunks, think you can do a little more fighting?"

"Do I have a choice?" was the whispered response.

"Not really. We have to get that key. I'm gonna distract them all while you and Goten steal if from Gero. When you have it, make a run to the ship; I'll be right behind you."

"I hope this plan of yours works," Goten muttered.

However, before they could implement their strategy, the altar at the far end of the room exploded, catching the attention of everyone there.

As smoke ran all over the area, the sounds of heavy footsteps were made, coming closer to the two groups. "My, my, my, what have we here?" a very deep voice said. "Don't tell me you all were having a party without me."

As soon as that was said, a very large, very bulky man emerged from the dark cloud. From what Gohan could see, all the man wore were baggy white pants, gold boots and forearm covers, and a red drape wrapped around his waist. With spiky blond hair and eyes so white, one couldn't see the pupils, that was all anyone could make out of him.

Yet, the Son boy could've sworn he had seen a similar outfit on someone. If he thought back real hard, he could picture the man who wore it, though he was much thinner and had typical saiyan hair.

"And who are you?" Gero shot back.

"My name is of no concern to you old man," the giant replied. "You won't be living very long after all."

"We'll see about that," the former government official stated. "But I seriously doubt you are of any challenge to myself and my companions."

"Not a challenge huh? I've already had the pleasure of killing a few tyrant lizards; adding you to my head collection would be a cinch."

"Tyrant lizards?" Tretton questioned. "Do ya think he's talkin' 'bout the Colds?"

"It's possible, though I doubt he really could kill them," Gero responded, not in the least bit perturbed. "King Cold and his sons are much too strong for some fool who has more muscle than brains."

A smirked covered the hulk's face. "You're making a big mistake old man. Cold and both of his kids made that same mistake and I blew them up along with the planets they were on. I have no reservations to doing the same here."

Any more banter became meaningless to the three saiyans though. Each one had a gut-wrenching feeling that they knew what had happened to their home…and this guy was apart of it somehow.

It was then that Gohan decided to interrupt the heated threats that were being thrown around. "Your name is Broly, isn't it?"

That caught the hulk and androids' attention. "So you know my name?" Broly replied as he gave the warrior a once over. "I must say, you do look familiar."

Gradually, emotion began to overwhelm the fighter. "It's me, Gohan. You remember right? We went to Earth to save Vegeta."

That caused the newly dubbed Broly to smirk. "Well, looks like you had a useless trip. I destroyed Vegeta. Apparently, you had pissed off some mechanical lizard off while you were running around in space and he wanted a bit of revenge. I think you can fill in the blanks."

Gohan lowered his gaze. It was just as he had feared.

"Broly, was it?" Gero suddenly spoke. "I believe that's a saiyan name. Perhaps I do have to take you a bit more seriously." Looking over to Angie, he said "Take care of him."

"With pleasure," the tall android responded, smirking as he removed part of his left forearm, revealing a gun turret. Raising up the arm, Angie began firing his machine gun rounds.

The first initial shots didn't hit the large saiyan, first landing on the ground several feet in front of him. Slowly, Angie's arm rose, the gunfire moving towards Broly, leaving a trail of bullet holes in its wake. Finally, the bullets reached their intended target, pelting the golden saiyan all over his torso.

And all the while, a frown creased the warrior's face.

How dare that worm insult him with meager bullets? With the power he had at his disposal, there was no way any of those pieces of lead would pierce his skin and cause damage to him. He would show this lowly maggot exactly he was dealing with.

There was no movement; only a gust of wind. With that wind though, Broly had disappeared from his previous location and had reappeared with his hand grasping Angie's face. The next thing anyone knew, Broly's momentum carried him and his victim behind the group of androids, a large crater forming in the wall from where the Super Saiyan rammed Angie's head into.

"How did you like that worm?" Broly taunted the former human as he released his hold and allowed the man to drop to the slouch against the wall.

A loud growl escaped Tretton's lips then, as he wheeled on his heels and launched himself at the giant saiyan, letting out a war cry. "Tretton, stop!" Gero shouted after him, but his cry was all in vain.

Turning around, an amused expression appeared on Broly's face, just as Tretton wrapped his arms around his torso and rammed him into the wall crater behind him, causing big chucks of the stone to jut out.

"So you want to play huh?" the saiyan spoke as he rose both of his hands over his head and clasped them together. A powerful jackhammer blow to the blue android's back stunned him, leaving him defenseless.

Unclasping his hands, the giant put them on the blue brute's shoulders and pushed him off of his person. A stumble by Tretton told the bulky warrior he was still trying to recover from the previous blow.

Taking advantage of the situation, Broly forced his body from the wall, landing on the ground in front of Tretton. Balling up his left hand, Broly then swing the fist, landing the punch to the android's face and sending him to the opposite side of the room; flying over the heads of the other warriors.

"What…what is he?" Gero exclaimed as he took a step back.

"He's dead!" Cell shouted, answering the rhetorical question. Spreading his legs, he cupped his hands to his right side and began to chant "Kaa…maaa…"

Hearing the chant, Broly turned his attention to the green android as it gathered its ki. Smirking, the juggernaut began walking towards the insect as an orb of energy formed in his cupped hands. "Haaa…maaaa…"

It was then that Goten's eyes widen, horror filling them. "Guys, watch out!"

At that point, Broly had stopped his march barely a foot in front of Cell, still smirking. "You're finished monkey!" the android shouted as he thrust his cupped hand in front of himself. "HAAA!!"

The ball of blue ki sprung forth, encompassing the saiyan that boldly stood at point blank range. The next thing any one knew, a large explosion detonated, sending everyone except for Trunks to the ground.

Soon, the flames died down and only smoke filled the room. Standing the closest to it was Cell, who had slowly lowered his hands, a look of pride clearly on his face. "He didn't know what hit him, stupid monkey."

Almost on cue, a bright green light appeared in the smoke, astonishing the insect. What…but how…it couldn't be!

Answering Cell's doubts, a green ball of ki burst from the cloud of smoke, whizzing by his head, heading towards its true target.

Gero.

Acting on pure instinct, Gero flung the hand holding the Time Milieu key to his side, losing his grip on it as it flew across the room and clattered on the ground, stopping near the exit. With his other hand, he held it our in front of himself, catching the incoming ball of ki and absorbing it into his system.

"Impressive," Broly commented as he moved out of the smoke in front of Cell. "I guess I'll just have to try a different approach on you old man."

That statement sent a jolt of anger through Cell's body. "Hey! How dare you push me aside monk—"

And that was as far as he got as Broly calmly crossed a fist in front of his chest and then swung it back across, backhanding the android in the face and sending him flying away.

Meanwhile, Gohan began eyeing the relic over by the doorway. At the present moment, he was looking at a priceless chance to get the key and escape without anyone being the wiser. It was a chance he wasn't going to miss. "Guys, when Broly attacks Gero, head for the exit."

Apparently, the younger saiyans had noticed the same thing the elder one did, both of them nodding their confirmation, waiting for the signal to begin. It wasn't long before they saw the giant saiyan start his charge.

Immediately, all three saiyan raced towards the doorway. There was only a brief pause on Goten's part as he bent down and scooped the key off the ground.

Unfortunately, that was as far as their good luck ran as a green ball of ki arced over their heads and collided with the wall over the door, sending debris falling in front of it; a very effective way to trap everyone within the room.

"What's the matter?" Broly's voice called out. "Why are you leaving all of a sudden? The party is just beginning!"

Jerking around, all three saiyans found their larger counterpart approaching them with a huge grin on his face. Behind him, the body of Gero laid, his head pointed at an odd angle. Apparently, his body was just as fragile as it was when he was still human.

Damn, you just couldn't trust a human to do anything useful, could you?

"I hope you're ready for a fight," the Super Saiyan continued. "I haven't had a decent fight yet and I figure a few saiyan warriors can fix that problem for me."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Tretton came flying in, ramming into Broly once more and sending the two flying towards a wall, the two breaking right through it. Talk about a lucky break.

Not waiting for something else to interrupt their plan again, Gohan placed his hands perpendicular in front of his head, gathering up his ki. A cry of "Masenko Ha!" sent a large yellow beam flying up to the roof, creating another way out for the saiyans.

To say any of the humans on the ship were nerve-wrecked would've been an understatement. Every single one of them had been growing more and more antsy as time passed, their anxiety building up to unbearable levels.

"C'mon, c'mon," Tien muttered to himself as he looked out the main window. It had seemed like an eternity since he and the other two ki sensors had detected that huge, evil power and things had gotten worse when they had confirmed that it had been headed for Gohan and the others.

But he at least knew how to keep his cool in these situations, unlike a certain pair of girls. Both looked to be on the verge of pulling their hair out if they didn't find out if the saiyans were okay.

Suddenly, a large yellow beam erupted from the middle of the forest, alerting all the humans instantaneously. It wasn't long before they saw three auras heading their way and flying fast.

The immediately feeling of relief they all had upon seeing the three was soon replaced with worry. Why in the world were they flying that fast?

It only took a few more minutes for their saiyan companions to board the ship, but once they burst into the control room, chaos filled the place. "Get this ship moving NOW!" Gohan roared.

Both Tien and Sixteen were momentarily stunned before they jumped to work, soon getting the ship into the air and out towards space.

Once they had left the planet, each saiyan plopped into an unoccupied chair, a defeated look on each of their faces. "So what happened back there?" Videl finally asked.

There wasn't an answer for quite some time, as each saiyan didn't seem to be in the mood to answer, nor did any of the humans repeat the question as each of them were overwhelmed at this behavior of theirs. Eventually, though, Gohan answered them.

"We got the key we were searching for," the Son boy said. "And…and we figured out who destroyed Vegeta."

The Earthlings looked at each other, uncertainty in their eyes. "So…who did it?" Tien prompted. He received the last answer he would've ever expected.

"We did."
