Episode 18: Rivals Unbound
Shadow and Vegeta appeared out of nowhere. "Sorry, doctor, but I'm taking back all of the Chaos Emeralds!" (Swipe) Vegeta steps to Goku and says, "Kakarott, you should be ashamed of yourself. Letting some metal dolls make a fool out of you. You there. Take Kakarott home and make sure he feels better. If anyone's gonna defeat him, it's gonna be me." Yamcha said, "I'll take him. Besides, I'm not even close to strong enough for the androids." As Shadow used the power of the Chaos Emeralds, he went Super Saiyan. Vegeta asked #19, "So… do you androids experience fear? Because I'm about to show you what fear looks like." (Vegeta powering up) Vegeta turned into a Super Saiyan as everyone was shocked. Shadow yells, "Tails! Take Sonic home… now!" As tails gabbed him, Metal Sonic went up to Shadow and analyzed him. Shadow blasted him and killed Metal Sonic. "Tch! That cheap excuse of Sonic was nothing but a joke. Now… shall we commence with the real fight?" asked Shadow. Vegeta said, "I believe so, Shadow." As Vegeta and Shadow fought Android 19, they had a complete advantage. (Wham) (Bam) Shadow grabbed one of the Chaos Emeralds and used it to become even stronger. As Vegeta slammed the android to the ground, 19 had grabbed Vegeta's arms. Slowly draining his energy, Vegeta did not care. He just stood there smiling. "Hahaha! I will absorb all your energy! And there's nothing you can do about it," #19 exclaimed. Shadow appeared behind him and said, "(Clears throat) You forgot about me. Hi." As Shadow went up to the sky, he created a yellow aura blast. "Ultimate Chaos Spear!" (Bzzz) As Android 19 was caught off guard, Vegeta said, "Let's make a trade, shall we? You can have all of my energy, while I take your hands. Agreed?" With a confused look, #19 asks, "Come again?" (Vegeta grunts) "This is what happens when you mess with the Prince of Saiyans! Die!" (Ker-chunk) Android 19 ran away. Vegeta said, "Oh, no. You're going to die. Now… witness my ultimate move: Big Bang Attack!" (Android 19 screams) (Boom) #19's head was the only thing left of him. (Ssss) Gohan asked, "Wh… what… was that? Vegeta and Shadow… can go… Super Saiyan? Oh, no." Piccolo got back up and said, "Now the only one left is you, Dr. Gero. You're going to pay for your crimes." Eggman hurries onto the battlefield and gathers up the pieces of Metal Sonic. As Eggman got all the pieces, he hopped onto his pod and flicked everyone off. "I will have my revenge! This isn't over yet!" As he flew off, Gohan asked Piccolo, "Mr. Piccolo, how did you survive?" Piccolo smiled and said, "To be honest, that attack was merely a flesh wound. I easily healed myself afterwards." Krillin said, "So… what about the other Android?" Tien said, "How about we dismantle the crap out of him?!" Vegeta said, "Stand back, he's mine. Big Bang Attack!" (Zoom) Dr. Gero rushes to absorb the blast. (Ssssp) "Ugh! That bastard," Vegeta yells. Shadow yells, "Krillin, throw us a Senzu Bean!" Krillin got scared and said, "Uh… ok." (Zoom) (Crunch) (Crunch) (Gulp) Shadow was at full power. He transformed back into his normal state. Vegeta eats the Senzu Bean and receive his full strength. (Whoosh) "The rest of you better not get in my way! Shadow, let's go chase after that android!" (Zoom) As Piccolo and the rest followed, he said to everyone, "Alright, listen up. We're all going to divide in teams. The android has no energy so we're gonna have to use our eyes for this one." So as everyone split up, Dr. Gero was making his way to his laboratory. Meanwhile, back at Kame House, Goku and Sonic were struggling against the heart virus. Amy went to Sonic and said, "Here, Sonic. Take this medicine. It should help. I don't know what it is, but I hope it cures." "Amy… thanks. I love you." Back at the other heroes, Knuckles goes into his Super state. Piccolo said to Knuckles, "Knuckles! Why are you in your Super state?!" Knuckles said, "Calm down, bro. I finally know how to control this transformation." As everyone searched for Dr. Gero, Krillin was the first one to find him. "Hey, guys! I found him!" Dr. Gero comes out of the cliff and back hands him. "Shut the hell up!" (Smack) As Piccolo was still searching, Dr. Gero spotted him and went straight for the kill. "Shh! Just calm down and let me absorb your precious energy." (Muffled scream) Piccolo tries to talk to Gohan telepathically. Later on, Gohan comes to the rescue and knocks Dr. Gero's cap off. (Inhales) (Exhales) "Thanks, Gohan," Piccolo said. Vegeta said, "Aha! I found you now!" Shadow said, "I'll handle this old machine." Knuckles yelled, "Stand back! You already had your fun! Now it's our turn!" Knuckles and Piccolo charged up their powers beyond their limit. As Knuckles went for the first strike, he punches Dr. Gero in the stomach. Piccolo started beating Dr. Gero senselessly. (Wham) As Dr. Gero was getting desperate, he tries to steal Piccolo's energy. (Grip) "There's not a chance in Hell I'm gonna let you take my energy. Just to make sure you don't absorb any more…" (Rip) Now that Piccolo and Knuckles have found a way to prevent more energy absorption, will they be able to defeat Dr. Gero? And more importantly, will Sonic and Goku recover from their heart disease? Stay tuned for the next episode.
