Dragon Ball Sonic Warriors

by GammaTron

Due to Eggman messing with Super Sonic's attempt to restore their multiverse, the Sonic Multiverse has fused with another universe entirely, that of Dragon Ball. Madness lies ahead...along with laughter and lots of battles.

Capsule Corp had helped in the worlds blending together and bringing peace, was also now known for being the new owners of GUN. It was more complicated than that, but trying to argue that wasn't the point, was a waste of time. But it's new management was a considerable improvement, according to many.

"Okay, run this by me again...Why...why do we need helicopters? ...I can fly...you COULD fly...most everyone can learn to fly...so...why?" Vegeta sighed.

"Because not everyone is able to figure out how to fly as easily as you and the others have done it and, in an anonymous poll, three-quarters of GUN agreed that they'd prefer to have helicopters on the chance that they're required."

"Razza-frazzin' anonymous voting…" Vegeta grumbled, "Fine...but don't come crying to me when they get blown up and I have to waste an afternoon collecting the Dragon Balls to bring them back!"

"And it really does take an afternoon," Shadow spoke.

"You know what's amazing about that? Before I met Goku, it was said that finding all seven was rarer than a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse happening on the same day," Bulma sighed.

"Yeah, but they didn't have the radar you invented," Vegeta argued, "Plus humans tend to lose things really easily."

"We do not…" Bulma frowned.

"You lost Trunks in our own house once…" Vegeta argued, "Which should be a testament to how big this place actually is."

"At least Mom stopped him before he could kill and eat Bubba," Bulma sighed.

"...Which one's Bubba?" Shadow whispered.

"The giant bear that chases and beats up the idiots that spoil the events of things," Vegeta replied.

"I'll never understand your Father-ln-Law's naming sense…" Shadow muttered.

"Hmm…" Vegeta nodded simply, "Well, at least Kakarot hasn't popped in with news the world is doomed in a month…"

"...How many times has he done that?" Shadow asked.

"Specifically that...not really. How many similar situations?" Bulma asked, "Well...let's see...the time with Piccolo's dad...Goku's brother, Vegeta and his dumbass friend, Mecha-Frieza as Future Trunks called him, Cell...and then Buu…" she listed with her fingers, "Oh...and the space pirates…"

"So as often as Faker," Shadow noted.

---

"ACHOO!"

"...Bless you," Roll deadpanned, lowering the handkerchief she had pulled up to block the spittle.

"Guess someone's talking about you," Gohan noted, the group sitting on the school roof once more.

"Probably," Sonic agreed, rubbing his nose before pouting, "Ugh...I thought I was done with this place when we spent that month at Roshi's."

"Nope, just catchup work," Gohan replied.

"I'm still getting used to it as well," Roll noted, "I was just homeschooled until last year."

"I was for most of my early years, too," Gohan smiled, "Honestly...I prefer coming here everyday. I love my mom...but...before your family came along, Roll-san...she used to be pretty...uh…"

"Strict?" Sonic guessed.

"Like that...but ten times worse…" Gohan muttered.

"Oh come on...she can't have been that bad," Sonic muttered.

"Eh…." Gohan muttered, "Great mom, yes. But when it came to studying…well, thankfully, she's changed thanks to Roll's family...She actually told me to take a break from studying a few days ago...even Dad got worried and took her to a Doctor."

"That explains why he was in an actual doghouse that day," Roll noted.

"Which I mean...Why didn't he poof off to Kame House?" Sonic argued, "Oh, wait. Nevermind. He didn't think of it…No offense."

"None taken," Gohan replied, "I didn't think of it, either, from how I was panicking from her telling me to take a break from studying."

"Well, guess she needed some more friends that were close by," Videl noted.

"True...I guess it's one thing to have us...it's another to have friends you can see everyday," Gohan nodded, "If anything, it mostly feels like we have a larger family now."

"Goku does feel like that fun Uncle you'd rather spend time with all the time..." Sonic muttered.

"Really? I see that with Chuck," Gohan admitted.

"Well, you're a pretty smart guy," Sonic noted, "Of course you'd like to hang out with Uncle Chuck."

---

"ACHOO!"

"...Bless you," Skye and Bulma's dad deadpanned, lowering the handkerchiefs they had.

"Thanks," Chuck thanked before pulling out his own and blew into it, "Ah, there we go." the trio turned to Jules, currently attached to a medical table with a device over him, "Are you ready, Jules?"

"If I say 'no,' will you let me go?" Jules asked nervously.

"Nope." All three replied, snapping on goggles.

"Deroboticizer attempt 52," Chuck spoke into a recorder before Skye held up a red button and Dr. Briefs pushed it, causing the machine to light up and fire a laser at Jules.

"AGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHH!" Jules babbled incoherently.

"Hm...potential signs of nerve receptors returning…" Dr. Briefs spoke into his own recorder, "Good sign. Let's keep it up for a few more seconds."

"Ah...All I taste is green…" Jules groaned.

"Jules Hedgehog has stated he is tasting the color green at 35 seconds into attempt," Skye noted, "Will proceed to Phase 2 in twenty five seconds."

"This is a deep pain!"

"Ah good...He feels pain. That's already better than the last time," Dr. Briefs spoke as all three nodded in agreement.

"My house has gotten freakin' weird…" Vegeta muttered from the door as he sipped a beer and walked off.

"Hey Grandpa...and...you're busy…" Trunks muttered, sliding to a stop as he heard the sound of the machine and Jules crying out in pain.

"Oh nonsense, kiddo, I can let the others handle Phase 2," Dr. Briefs spoke as they gave a thumbs up, "What's up?"

"Mom says she wants the notes for that thing she's making for the Computer lady," Trunks explained.

"Oh right. Can she wait to see if this test works on Jules? We have high hopes on this one," Dr Briefs explained.

"Entering Phase 2," Skye informed.

"HIIII-GII-GII~!"

"Grandpa...are you sure you guys know what you're doing?" Trunks asked.

"Eh…" the trio shrugged.

"All of my hate!" Jules shouted.

"Considering that the original Roboticizer that I had to use on Jules has long been destroyed, we can't use that to turn him back to normal, so we have to create a new way of Deroboticization," Chuck shrugged.

"Besides, he was the first to have the process done on him. If we can turn him back, I'm sure we can refine the machine to change anyone else back," Dr. Briefs added, "If not, Skye has an interesting theory to test out."

"It's not cloning, is it?" Trunks asked, "You know what Mom said about that…"

"One joke...and I never hear the end of it…" Dr. Briefs sighed.

"Absolutely not. The clone always dies," Skye added.

"Alright, I'll tell mom." Trunks spoke, "Uh...should I be smelling smoke?"

"That's...probably alright…" the trio of Scientists muttered slowly.

"Blaaaagrh…." Jules slurred before his metal tuff of hair twitched before changing into a tuff of brown hair.

"Hah! It's working!" Chuck cheered before a 'pop' went off and the lights and machine went out, "Blast it! We blew a fuse!"

"Ugh…" Jules groaned before his tuff of brown hair turned back into a metal tuff.

"...We made sure to unplug everything that wasn't essential, right?" Skye asked.

"I'm positive we did…" Dr Brief spoke.

"WOMAN! The Gravity Room exploded again!" Vegeta snapped, walking down the hall in his Saiyan uniform pants followed by Shadow.

"...He plugged in the gravity room," Chuck noted.

"Oh that's right... That thing is linked to the complex's personal generator…" Dr. Briefs cringed.

"...Which we were using for Attempt 52 after Bulma sicced our wives and Bernadette on us after Attempts 1 through 51 resulted in a large electric bill," Skye cringed.

"Even I got punished and I didn't do nothing!" Jules whined.

"You three did this!?" Vegeta snapped, "Oh-ho! You better start running! I'm going to recreate those horrible romance movies Bulma makes me watch where the nerds get shoved into small spaces!"

"He's the Jock...you three are the nerds…" Shadow translated.

"..." the trio shared looks before fleeing.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait! Untie me!" Jules shouted, "Ohh…"

"Which way did they go?" Vegeta demanded once he ran in.

"Down that way," Jules replied, motioning with his head before Vegeta ran off, "Hey! Untie me!" he looked at Shadow, "Can y…"

"No."

"...Tru…"

"I gotta help Grandpa hide from dad," Trunks replied, flying off after them.

"...Bugger," Jules muttered.

---

"I feel like Vegeta is trying to murder Bulma's dad again…" Goku spoke, doing pushups as Goten and Haseo sat on his back while doing their homework.

"Isn't that everyday?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Nah, they get along okay. It's just whenever Getes wants something...or he blew up something...or...no yep. Everyday. You called it, Chi-Chi," Goku admitted.

"And that is why I'm the smart one, dear," Chi-Chi smiled.

"What does that make me?" Goku asked, as he swapped between hands for single armed reps for his pushups.

"The pretty one?" Goten asked.

"Nah. That's still your mom," Goku grunted as he flipped the boys off his back as he jumped up and caught one on each shoulder.

"...Ano...The training one?" Haseo guessed.

"That sounds right!" Goku laughed.

"I mean it's what he does most of the time," Chi-Chi shrugged.

"You've tricked him into helping build stuff for Haseo's family using his powers…" Goten pointed out.

"You said that was training!" Goku complained.

"Ano...you could say it was a form of training," Haseo offered.

"Eh?"

"Like...eto...oh! Speed training! To see how fast you could make it with the least amount of mistakes and stuff!"

"...Oh my kami, you're right!" Goku gasped in realization.

"I know I should note how much smarter than you Haseo is...but that also seems kind of unfair," Chi-Chi laughed.

"Well yeah...I mean I learned how to read from Master Roshi…" Goku pointed out.

"And that is why he was barred from meeting Goten 'till he learned to read," Chi-Chi added.

"Wait, I can read?" Goten asked before his mom tapped his head, "Kidding!"

"Since the world isn't in danger today, think you can make a grocery run?" Chi-Chi smiled.

"Sure!" Goku smiled.

"Don't eat it on the way home," she smiled.

"Oh come on...it was only twenty times…" Goku pouted.

"This week," Chi-Chi deadpanned.

"You should not have introduced me to the concept of sushi…" Goku muttered.

"Umai," Haseo noted, tails wagging.

"Off you go," Chi-Chi sighed, "And no snacking…" she reminded him as he walked out the door.

"Just a little?"

"Goku…"

"Going!" he chuckled, teleporting away.

"We're back!" Gohan called out as he landed, a second later Sonic and Roll joining him on a gold cloud.

"Thank you, Nimbus-chan," Roll thanked, petting the cloud once she and Sonic got off.

"I swear it likes you better…" Sonic spoke up once it left.

"I think it's because she keeps greeting and thanking Nimbus when it gets called and when it drops you both off," Gohan noted.

"Yeah, well even still why does it keep moving forward just before I jump on and let me land on my tail?" Sonic argued.

"To be fair, you called it a 'giant ball of golden cotton candy' and then when it did it the first time, you called it a 'used cotton swab,'" Roll noted.

"It wasn't funny when it opened a hole in itself just for me when we flew over the river…" Sonic grumbled.

"It was kinda funny when you freaked when it barely went up to your knees," Gohan admitted.

"I still say your dad's magic sentient cloud don't like me…" Sonic muttered.

"Welcome back, you three," Chi-Chi greeted, "I just sent Goku off to get groceries."

"Well as long as he doesn't snack, we should have enough for seconds at dinner," Gohan laughed.

"He means for everyone who's not part Saiyan…" Chi-Chi sighed.

"It's not our fault...we were born with Dad's stomach," Gohan muttered.

"We ate a sea kaiju the size of a whale our last trip to the beach," Goten added.

"I...kinda want to see that," Sonic muttered.

"Hmmm...A beach trip would be nice…" Chi-Chi muttered.

"Sweet! Beach trip!" Tangle's voice whooped, startling the three to see the lemur resting in a tree nearby, "Hey, Roll!"

"Roll...why is your friend in a tree?" Chi-Chi blinked, "Besides the obvious, Sonic…" she deadpanned before he could make a joke.

"Eh. Wanted to drop by for a visit," Tangle shrugged, "Heh...man, this place has a lot of trees to swing off of. I got some pretty good air time too on that last one."

"How did you find this place anyway?" Sonic asked.

"Eh, I asked around for anyone looking like Goku," Tangle replied, "Ended up at this farmer's market that he sells vegetables he grows to and they pointed me out to this way." she rubbed her stomach, "Man, they had some yummy strawberries there."

"Okay...but...why not just call us? We gave you our phone number," Gohan pointed out.

"You begged us for the contact information…" Sonic added.

"..." Tangle blinked at that, "...Shoot. I should've tried that...eh heh. Guess I should've listened to Jewel before I left."

"How is Jewel-chan, anyway?" Roll asked.

"Oh, she nearly got kidnapped by these birdbrains, but I stopped 'em with help from this neat wolf gal," Tangle replied, "Her name was Whisper...pretty quiet gal, too."

"...Oh that must've stung Jet's pride," Sonic snickered.

"He tried and failed to play it off," Tangle laughed at the memory, "What a doofus."

"Ha! Nice!" Sonic laughed, "Then again...he's always a birdbrained doofus with an ego."

---

"...I feel like someone just insulted my pride," a Mobian hawk with green feathers muttered in annoyance.

"That's not that hard," a purple swallow Mobian wearing a white riding outfit and a white bandana on her head noted, working on three metal boards with either green, purple, or yellow trim.

"Hey!" the hawk snapped, "If it weren't for those two girls...and Storm…!"

"Yeah, boss?" a large Mobian albatross with dark-grey feathers spoke, poking in from the next room.

"No! I was making a point to Wave!" the hawk barked, "I was trying to refer to when you stole that beetle girl!"

"Of which you tried to barter off as a trophy when the lemur wanted to rescue her friend and you challenged her to a race, Jet," Wave deadpanned.

"Mistakes were made…"

"Several mistakes," Wave corrected.

"Don't start with me again…"

"Hey. I wasn't the one who was supposed to keep the bags secured."

"No. That was Storm, who should've….wait...STORM!"

"Yeah, boss?" Storm asked, poking in once more.

"You were supposed to put our haul in the safe room!" Jet snapped.

"But...I wanted to show my talking jewel..."

"She was a beetle, Storm…" Wave sighed.

"Who was a beetle?"

"I...I...ugh…"

"You okay, boss?"

"Just...just a migraine from sheer stupidity…" Jet sighed.

"Wow...didn't know you were that stupid, boss."

"..." Jet groaned as he fell over while Wave began to crack up laughing.

Eggman hummed to himself as he looked over a map that they had built based on the new situation of the world. He had sent his agents out to search for the Dragon Balls weeks ago bordering on a month now. But in that time...they found just One Dragon Ball, the 7 star ball. And that was just because Eggman found it while channel surfing one night and saw it at an auction house. Though he'd never admit that to anyone but himself.

"One ball in one month of searching this planet…" Eggman spoke before he fell forward and let his head and face smack onto his work table, "It's impossible~!" he sobbed, "The world's too big now! And I don't have enough goons! And Goku keeps showing up each week to make sure I've done nothing! Which isn't hard since I have done nothing!"

"It's not like when you do, anything gets done…" Metal spoke.

"Huh?"

"At least you tricked Goku the times he did find you…"

"Yes, but I should've had more Dragon Balls in the meantime!" Eggman snapped before turning on a communicator, "Lien-Da, any luck on the search?!"

=Yes and no. 'Yes' as in we found one. And 'no' because...it's in a museum= Lien-Da replied.

"Seriously? And you're not breaking in because…?"

=They hired GUN for security= Lien-Da replied =Apparently, the owner got kidnapped by the Babylon Rogues mistaking her for an actual gem and she's paranoid at the moment of future thefts/kidnappings=

"Dang it!" Eggman snapped, "So close...and yet so far!"

=I tried to tell you this was a bad idea...now that the world is bigger, looking for these Dragon Balls and the Chaos Emeralds will be much harder= Lien-Da sighed.

"Then how is it when Goku and his friends need the things...poof! They get them in an afternoon?" Eggman argued, "...Wait...unless...they have something to track down the Dragon Balls…"

=...No. No. No. Do not even think about it=

"Considering GUN is gonna be overlooking a museum for the time being…"

=Don't even think of finishing that!=

"We can take this Dragon Ball locating item!" Eggman smirked.

=And he finished that…= Lien-Da groaned =Do you even know where to look?=

"Let me answer that with another question. Recall what I said about GUN being away with that Saiyan prince being part of it?"

=...You're going to raid Capsule Corp, aren't you?=

"Okay, now hear me out on this…"

=Let me stop you right there...now just follow me on this, will ya?=

"Well a bit rude, but…"

=Shut up for a second=

"I'm listening because I want to…" Eggman grumbled.

=You know Vegeta...is AS strong as Goku...right?=

"As I understand it, Goku is stronger…"

=Keep following me...now let's say you raid 'His' house, IE Vegeta...this Prince of all the Saiyans...what will he do when he finds this out?=

"Well he'll...oh…"

=Yes...he's made it more then clear, half the things he'd do to you if he finds you are both extremely violent...and worded as double entendres to make you even more worried, so say you break in...mess up his house...heck what if your extra crazy and do something to his family...=

"Ehehe...let's...how about we send in...a...a uhm...Stealth specialist...and just take it...with...minimal damage to Capsule Corp…?"

=At least that way he won't fist you to death…=

"...That sounds wrong on so many levels," Metal noted, "Get your mind out of the gutter, woman."

=You did not just say that= Lien-Da growled.

"What if I did, woman?"

"Stop fighting!" Eggman barked, "Ugh...I have to finish making this Ki Scrambler so he'll stop being able to find me so easily."

=And you don't want to make yourself a robot again because…?=

"One of the times I tricked him, Goku ended up telling me about this doctor he met that became a robot and ended up being destroyed by his own creations. I'm not turning back into a robot just to be blown up...again...for the hundredth time. Seriously, I think I still have some aches from that stupid turtle sacrificing himself," Eggman replied before an idea popped into his head, "...But that does give me an idea…"

=...Oh lord. Now what?=

"Simple: we find out more about this doctor Goku knew, and replicate his technology into my Egg Army!"

=...Admittedly a sound plan, but I see a flaw in it: How are you gonna find this doctor's lab anyway?= Lien-Da asked.

"You worry about procuring the Dragon Balls or the Dragon Ball tracker for now, and I'll worry about gaining info on this doctor and where his lab was," Eggman grinned.

=You gonna trick Goku into telling you?=

"Let's call that Plan B…" Eggman muttered.

---

"Ara? A beach trip?" Aphrodite pondered, wearing an apron over her toga as she and Chi-Chi cooked together.

"Exactly," Chi-Chi replied, "I figure a nice family trip like that could be just what we need."

"Also we wanna fish for sea kaiju…" Goten spoke up, bringing ingredients over for them, "I'm hoping for a sea dragon. They taste better then the giant squid Dad caught last time."

"A sea dragon?" Aphrodite pondered, "Hmm...It's not a real dragon, is it? Because some of the girls have some Mobian Dragons that they're friends with and I'd rather not make things awkward for them when they go visit them or if they visit here."

"Shenron-sama is the only real dragon outside of Mobian Dragons," Chi-Chi explained, "This is more...giant sea snake...that sparks electricity...and Goku likes catching…"

"A giant sea snake that acts like an eel," Aphrodite noted, "...That will be quite the interesting ingredient to turn into recipes." she put a hand to her left face cheek, "Still...A beach trip does sound wonderful. It's been a long time since I last went to one, in all honesty."

"Thankfully Bulma has a large private one we can go to," Chi-Chi smiled, "Meaning the only pervert we have to worry about is Roshi-sama…"

"He's relapsed back to normal," Goku added from the table, "Krillin totally called that bet...good thing I didn't bet anything."

"Sounds lovely, Chi-chan," Aphrodite giggled.

"Goku, can you ask Bulma if we can go this weekend?" Chi-Chi smiled.

"Just a weekend? The kids have a week off coming up...why not stay down there for a little vacation?" Goku offered.

"I'm gonna fish 'till there's no more fish left!" Goten cheered.

"Well if everyone else is okay with it," Chi-Chi smiled.

"Sweet!" Goten smirked.

"Alright, let me pop over," Goku smiled, putting his fingers to his head and vanishing.

"...Why do I imagine a popping sound when he does that?" Haseo pondered.

"You too?" Goten asked.

Everyone blinked as Goku returned at that same moment.

"So turns out, I jumped in at a bad time!" Goku laughed, "But Mr. Briefs said we can use their beach house for the week! In related news, if Vegeta calls...I'm in space!"

"...Hmm...We'll just say that you're on Space Colony: ARK if he asks," Sonic noted with a chuckle.

"ARK?" Goten repeated.

"A space station...Shadow comes from it," Sonic explained.

"?" Goku walked out and flew straight up...and after a while flew back down, "I think I saw it! It looked like Eggman's face..."

"That's what I said!" Sonic agreed.

"Goku...you should really stop messing around with that old man and take him to Krillin or something…" Chi-Chi sighed.

"I'm not messing with him…"

---

"Hmmm..." Eggman hummed as he opened the shower curtain.

"Hi Eggman!" Goku cheered, making him scream.

---

"God damn it...Why is it always somewhere in the basement…?" Eggman sighed.

"Here you go," Goku smiled, handing Eggman the tool he was looking for.

"Oh why than-AHH!-!-!"

---

"Finally...my Ki Scrambler is almost complete!" Eggman cheered as he tightened a bolt on a small device akin to a helmet, but still very fragile and in need of a protective cover.

"Ooh...that looks neat," Goku smiled over Eggman's shoulder, making him fumble and drop the device, "Whoops! Butterfingers, huh, Eggman?"

"GAH!" Eggman cried, falling over.

---

"Nope...I haven't bothered him one bit," Goku shook his head.

"He's totally been driving Egg face insane!" Sonic laughed, "Which is probably more fitting of a punishment then locking him up."

"And you're not concerned that these repeated appearances are going to, as you put it, 'scramble' his head again?" Roll asked.

"Did he start talking in a deep spooky voice?" Goku asked.

"...Why?" Sonic asked, stopping his laughter as he felt a pit form in his gut.

"I bopped him on the head...then used Ki to heal him up. Right back to normal," Goku explained.

"...Okay, Goku...please explain it as best you can in more detail than that," Sonic spoke, eyes widening a bit in concern.

"Huh?" he blinked, "Well he started laughing all crazy like...then he threatened me...so I bonked him on the head…" he went on, "I thought something was weird...so while he was passed out, I used my Ki to fix his brain."

"You can do that?" Sonic blinked.

"Yep. I can also read minds when I put my hand to someone's head," he put his hand on Goten's head, "You've been keeping robots?"

"No…" Goten denied, "Gotta go!" he flew to his room.

"Is there anything Ki can't do?" Sonic asked honestly.

"Well...it can't make you smarter..." Chi-Chi muttered, "Wait...what was that about Goten keeping robots?"

"He's been keeping two funny robots like pets in his room," Goku explained.

"Robots...as pets?" Chi-Chi blinked again, "He gets that from you."

"Then what about the time Gohan brought Icarus…?"

"That was different...Icarus was a baby dragon...or rather a baby flying dinosaur that looked like a dragon," She corrected herself to the Mobians.

"Oh~"

"Furthermore...Goku, your pet...was a cloud," Chi-Chi added.

"Nimbus isn't a pet...he's part of my family…"

"That's still a pet," they all spoke.

"Huh…" Goku blinked, "But...I...I don't get it. Aren't pets...you know, animals like cats and dogs?"

"Dude…" Sonic daedpanned.

"Oh geez. Was that racist...er...speciest?"

"I don't get it," Goten spoke, appearing in the room again and making Sonic jump.

"Well you see…"

"But you're not animals...you're Mobians," Goten pointed out, "So what's the difference between a Mobian Cat and an Animal cat?"

"...Well...it's just...kinda complicated, okay?" Sonic replied...unsure on how to answer that.

"I think Goten just Privilege checked you…" Gohan muttered.

"He did," Aphrodite confirmed, "Though you also forgot about Chao."

"Wait, where are you going?" Goku asked.

"Not ciao; but Chao; C-H-A-O," Aphrodite corrected, "You know, the little blue creatures found in some places like hidden springs, tiny islands, and even large lakes." Goku blinked twice, "The ones that live in the zen garden between our houses?"

"Oh…" Goku realized, "I thought those were new…" he muttered.

---

"Let me understand this...Goku used Ki to fix Dr. Eggman's head," Tails deadpanned a few days later, "Hoo boy…"

"Hmph. I don't see why you seem stressed about this," Vegeta huffed.

"Because while his mind was, well, 'broken,' he was actually predictable at times and focused solely on Sonic with only minor times focusing on others," Tails explained, "If his head is back to normal, we'll be dealing with a man who was so smart that he could create an ever-evolving machine that adapts to anything that happens to it, an AI that could create nanites capable of converting anything they touch into more nanites and nearly killed our friend Bunnie from trying to adapt her to the machine they were building from themselves, and was able to perform a coup of an entire kingdom spanning several continents in a single day."

"Okay, I'm gonna have to stop you right there, Rotor Butt...first...Never-I repeat NEVER!-tell any of that to Kakarot. Second: The moment this Egg human appears again...I plan to vaporize him and his horrible mustache out of existence…"

"What's his mustache have to do with this?" Tails asked.

"Third: I think you fail to understand just how stupid humans are…" Vegeta sighed, "I can't make them do a damn thing even when I freakin' tell them their lives are on the line. But that idiot Satan asks them to do something...boom, they bend over backwards for him."

"I'm starting to see the common human of your Earth...is rather…"

"Stupid...they're god damn stupid," Vegeta blurted, "About the only smart humans alive already know Satan is full of it...and most of them are in my extended family in this complex. The only others are either in Kakarot's family...or his circle of dumbass friends. Which I suppose says more about how stupid the common Earth human is, but then again your people also believe him..."

"True, but you also have to consider that it's due to him taking the credit for you scaring off Naugus that helped them think he's believable," Sonic noted.

"Yes...and I know full well if we told them I...a space alien with a literal record with the space cops...did it, it would not have gone over well." Vegeta added.

"Wait. Space cops are a thing?" Sonic blinked.

"They call themselves the Galactic Patrol…" Vegeta sighed, "Before Trunks...Future Trunks killed Frieza and his father, they were a joke. But now that no one from that goddamn family is left alive, they actually mean something."

"So...if you left Earth…?" Tails began.

"They could try…" Vegeta shrugged, "Technically, it's illegal to allow Saiyans onto any planet...on account of the Oozaru thing, but that's not really an issue...Also Bulma complained that blowing up the Moon was not the best option…"

"Wait, what?!"

"That's like this planet's what...Fourth Moon replacement?" Vegeta scratched his head.

"We've only had the moon halfway blown up," Sonic noted.

"Oh, I remember that. Our family was upset we couldn't do some of the traditions we gained from a wolf ancestor of ours for weeks," Roll noted.

"The first few times were Kakarot going Oozaru and some of his dumbass friends...in this case, the old pervert thinking 'Imma blow up the moon,'" Vegeta explained, "Then it was the Namekian...and then after that I'm not sure...but I think it was Kakarot himself when he missed and shot the moon himself," Vegeta summed up what he knew, "At some point, they decided to just make it so they stopped growing their tails. Mine was a lost cause because of an asshole I knew while I worked for Frieza...long story…" he coughed, "But he prevented the regeneration tank from letting my tail grow back."

"...Master Roshi can blow up the moon?" Sonic asked.

"The Kamehameha," Vegeta replied.

"...Yeesh…" Sonic cringed, "It's like this Ki acts like a portable version of the Eclipse Cannon."

"Believe it or not, most of Kakarot's human friends have far surpassed the power level needed to do such feats easily. Shadow himself has far surpassed that level when I met him. And you...well you're damn close." Vegeta looked over Sonic, "The rest of your friends...not so much."

"Eh, that's fair. We're new to this Ki stuff after all," Sonic shrugged, "Though now that I'm thinking of it...Where's Bulma?"

"She went up to that Space Colony with that cannon to see if anything can be salvaged or if it can be made habitable again," Vegeta snorted.

"Alone?" Sonic blinked.

"No...She took the rest of the smart ones and the Pink one," Vegeta explained.

"I stayed since someone has to be here to make sure the machines keep running smoothly," Tails noted.

"His mother said no," Vegeta blurted out.

"Mmm…" Tails pouted.

"It tells you how advanced Mobius is if this was made just fifty years ago," Bulma noted as they walked through a hallway with a view of the Earth visible from a reinforced glass window at one side.

"Still, we need to be cautious," Sally noted, "There may still be some remnants of the Artificial Chaos up here."

"Artificial Chaos?" Bulma repeated, "Chaos is that water creature you told me about, right?"

"Yes."

"...This place was able to make copies of a god of water," Bulma whispered, "...I'm honestly amazed."

"Same here. This place could've done so much for Mobius...and yet...GUN interfered," Sally frowned.

"Well...Now I own their ass!" Bulma laughed, "Ah...They are literally mine to do as I want with...They are so stupid with money." she shook her head, "The only man prior to my purchase in the higher ups that actually has a good head on his shoulders and did their own paperwork to keep track of their budget was Commander Towers."

"He is a good man," Sally agreed before deploying the energy blades on her wrist rings just before a door broke down ahead of them from Amy crashing through them with a watery beast resembling a serpent with a robotic head that she smashed with her hammer.

"Was that one of the Artificial Chaos?" Bulma pondered as they ran over.

"Yeah," Amy replied, "Tried to bite me in the neck in a sneak attack. If I hadn't had sensed the Chaos Drive in its head, it might've gotten me."

"...I need to make a call," Bulma noted as she pulled out her phone and pressed a button on it.

=Yes, Mrs. Briefs?= Shadow answered.

"Shadow, we're on the ARK. Any chance you know where the control room for the Artificial Chaos are?" Bulma asked.

=...You're on the ARK= Shadow repeated =Please wait= a moment passed before Shadow appeared via Chaos Control, "Do I want to even know what you want to do to this place?" he looked down and frowned, "Alright, who broke Serpens?"

"He did it," Amy pointed to a confused Dr. Briefs.

"Wait, what?" he blinked, looking up from an old GUN robot he was examining.

"Your hammer is wet," Shadow deadpanned.

"...I dropped it in water?" Amy sheepishly replied.

"..."

"You're right. That is stupid," Amy slumped.

"Ah ah Shadow, be mad about one thing at a time," Bulma snapped her fingers and getting his attention, "I already have a Vegeta. I like you 'cause you aren't always angry like he is."

"Very well…" Shadow crossed his arms, "Why are you here?"

"Duh...To make use of this place," Bulma responded.

"You don't mince words…" Shadow replied.

"If this is about your backstory with this place, I heard it from the others," Bulma spoke, "But as I see it...the original intent of this thing was to help the world." she went on, "Well...I more or less own the idiots who ruined that last time...Hercule controls the public so I asked him to calm them down...done, and my Husband and best friend are the two strongest aliens in the cosmos. I'd like to see someone try and stop me."

"You are without a doubt the most willful and arrogant genius on the Earth…" Shadow spoke.

"And don't you forget it," Bulma smiled.

"She is amazing…" Amy muttered in awe.

"Agreed," Sally nodded.

"Since you're here, Shadow...get to blasting," Bulma cheered.

"No wonder Vegeta fell in love with this woman...I on the other hand...respect...and am annoyed by her..." Shadow sighed.

"What do you think raising her was like?" Dr. Briefs muttered, "For crying out loud...she'd invent robots that attacked her teacher if they put her in time out."

---

"So Bulma is up in space...commandeering a derelict space station for her own purposes, despite the potential dangers?" Krillin asked, taking the day to hang out with Goku.

"That's what Vegeta told me," Goku nodded.

"Okay, see? Now that...is crazy. But also totally Bulma," he replied.

"I asked if she wanted me to go with her...but she said she needed things to not be broken," Goku added.

"Well I mean...it's not like either of us graduated from highschool," Krillin pointed out, "What good would we actually be on anything science related...that didn't involve punching things?"

"You make a darn good point, Krillin," Goku muttered as he hefted a giant tree up over his head.

"I know I do. It's how I got out of so many stupid adventures with her back when we were kids!" Krillin laughed.

"Not all of them were that bad," Goku noted.

"Goku, she made us dive to the bottom of the ocean...this was before we could fly at hypersonic speeds…" Krillin argued, "I don't care that we got the Dragon Ball...that...was stupid."

"I mean, yeah they were dangerous, but come on, that was part of the fun. New places, new people to fight, new foods…" Goku listed as he began chopping the tree into blocks of wood with his hands.

"See new places, that's fun. New Foods, okay I can dig it. But only you, Goku...went on adventures actively searching for new people...and sometimes sentient monsters, to fight," Krillin argued, "I mean, if we did it now it'd be so easy that I'd fall asleep. But it still doesn't diminish the fact Bulma almost got us killed. A Lot! And we were Twelve and she was Sixteen. Yet somehow, I've still lost track of how old she is now..."

---

"I need to smack Krillin when I get home," Bulma spoke up suddenly.

"Mentioned something he shouldn't have?" Sally guessed.

"Foot-in-mouth Disease runs rampant in many a boy," Amy shook her head, "Even if they don't know it, we are aware of when it happens."

"Goku might be a carrier for it…" Bulma muttered, "Or all Saiyans."

---

"Achoo!" Vegeta sneezed.

"...Bless you," Rouge noted, lowering the umbrella she had pulled out in mid-sneeze.

"Hmph," Vegeta snorted, "I get the feeling Bulma was talking about me just now…"

"You two do that a lot, don't you?" she noted.

"Shut up," Vegeta responded simply.

"He's such a charmer…" Sonic laughed.

"Why are you here in my house again?"

"Bulma's house…" Sonic smiled.

"I will kill you," Vegeta replied.

"Many have tried and failed," Sonic quipped.

"Okay...why are you here?" Vegeta changed his question.

"The rest of the family is driving up here the long way," Sonic explained, "Me, Roll, and Goku went ahead to get the place ready."

"Speaking of...where is the smart one of your relationship?" Vegeta asked, "Don't the two of you need to stay close or...I don't remember...something bad?"

"How do you remember that...but not my name?" Sonic asked.

"'Cause one of you is likeable," Vegeta smirked.

"Oh-HEY!" Sonic barked.

"Well that's what happens when you're in a married life," Rouge noted, "One has to be the one with the book smarts and the other the street smarts."

"Or all the smarts…" Vegeta added.

"You know that counts as Bulma, too," Sonic argued.

"Yes...and I let her be. It just means I can enjoy punching things," Vegeta smiled.

"Why are you so good at this?"

"Because I normally deal with Kakarot...someone smart lets me show off," Vegeta replied, "But that's not saying much...a 5 year old is smarter than Kakarot. But the point remains...where is the life partner people seem to care more about than you?"

"Kitchen probably," Sonic replied, earning a look from Rouge, "Whoa-whoa-whoa! Before you get all angry at me, she likes cooking and wanted to see the kitchen."

"This is why I married money," Vegeta spoke, "She has people to do stuff for us."

"Careful what you say there. You might end up cooking for someone someday," Rouge smirked.

"Oh please. The moment I try to cook for someone is the moment I'll swallow my pride and admit that someone's stronger than I or Kakarot."

"I'm gonna remember that," Sonic smiled.

"If I hit you...it doesn't hurt her, right?" Vegeta asked.

"No, why?" Sonic asked before Vegeta's fist went through the couch he was on while Sonic was now standing beside Rouge, "Okay, rude much? And how much trouble are you in for breaking the couch?"

"None," Vegeta replied as he pulled his fist out the couch slowly repairing itself, "Bulma and Tails made this last week."

"Sneaky…"

"So how long do you expect it to take for them to get here?" Rouge asked.

"Eh, a few days," Sonic shrugged.

"So I'm stuck with instead of two boys with the same attitude, I'm stuck with two polar opposites," Rouge sighed, "I can feel the headaches coming days ahead."

"Wait, why are you here?" Sonic blinked.

"She works for Bulma," Vegeta explained.

"Doing what?"

"Collecting Dragon Balls," both Vegeta and Rouge replied.

"Bulma pays her to do something she would have done already?!" Sonic snapped.

"You should see the benefits," Rouge smiled, "I make more working for her then selling the things."

"But wait. I thought…"

"It's a fake," Rouge cut him off, "Suffice to say...Bulma does not trust Eggman to live on her Earth alongside Dragon Balls. So I get paid to steal and replace them with fake ones...which explode if you say the command to wake up Shenron."

"How many so far?" Sonic asked.

"Three so far," Rouge replied, "The one at this museum was a real pain due to the lemur that acts as a secret bodyguard."

"Oh, you mean Tangle," Sonic noted, "How'd you get that from her?"

"She was insufferable. It took me having to being fully honest with the owner of the museum and even having Bulma speak with her on a video conference to make it work," Rouge sighed, "Seriously, she went the extra mile in protecting a piece of that owner's museum that she actually attempted to swallow it so that I wouldn't be able to take it."

"..." Vegeta paused, "I just imagined Kakarot doing that…"

"Yeah, I could see him or Goten doing that," Sonic agreed.

---

"ACHOO!" Goten sneezed, causing the roof of the car to blast off, "Sorry…"

"Ah well, always wanted a convertible," Mika noted with a shrug as she kept on driving.

"What do you think that was?" Haseo asked.

"I dunno...probably something tickled my nose."

=I don't see how since before the sneeze the roof and windows were up= Orbot noted from Goten's backpack.

=You really wanna question the kid who can blast laser snot from his nose?= Cubot asked

"Hehehe...Laser snot…" Goten chuckled.

=I think we'll be fine…=

---

"So these are the controls for that Eclipse Cannon," Bulma noted as she and Shadow stood in a large empty chamber with a lone platform that had a large computer with a strange device connected to it with seven slots in it in an 'X' formation, "What's this X formation for?"

"It's where the Chaos Emeralds are stored to power it up," Shadow explained.

"Ahh...So this acts as a conduit for their power to fuel the cannon," Bulma noted, she looked over the computer as one of her inventions decoded the system to allow her to see what it did, "So...they wanted it to crash into the planet's surface?" she blinked, reading the data.

"You got that from all this?" Amy asked, looking at the screen.

"Well in simple terms...all this math is how to make this thing fall at such a rate to do exactly that," Bulma explained.

"It wasn't the original purpose for it," Sally noted, "It was reprogrammed by someone else to do that because of what GUN did up here."

"Hmm...Well, we can't let that happen," Bulma noted, "Plus, I get the feeling this Cannon was made for a different purpose than what we think."

"Most likely," Amy shrugged, "So what are you going to do?"

"First...fix this place up, get rid of all the stuff that's a danger to Earth. Probably don't need the cannon...Vegeta does that job, but better. Turn this into a decent space station for research and, if need be, to deal with 'other' alien visitors," Bulma listed.

"When you say Deal...?"

"Let them land here if they are friendly...if not...call Goku and scare them off."

"Good thinking," Sally agreed.

"It would be better if it was gone," Shadow agreed, "Perhaps we could use this room for something else. Perhaps a communications array for more peaceful races to speak to us from afar."

"That's actually a great idea, Shadow," Bulma mused, "Honestly I never pegged you to offer something so peaceful."

"I'm not actually part Saiyan…" Shadow sighed.

"Well you don't eat like them for sure!" Bulma laughed, "But that is a really good idea. I could maybe call my friend Jaco to see if him and his Space cop friends could help with that."

"You are friends with a space cop?" Amy blinked.

"My Older sister is," Bulma corrected, earning more stares due to this new information.

"I live with them and I still don't know everything about them…" Shadow muttered.

"Okay...no one...go to the basement of this place," Dr. Briefs spoke as he and Skye entered, "Looks like something out of H.R. Giger's notebook…"

"Did it look like a shrine with an object pulsing like a heart above it with an oddly-colored liquid?" Shadow asked.

"Yes...and that liquid...was blood with no iron...so...no thanks...too much creep for this old man."

"That is the core of the Eclipse Cannon made by Professor Gerald Robotnik," Shadow informed, "It was designed to resemble the shrine upon Angel Island in order to better harness the energies of the Chaos Emeralds, "The 'blood' you saw is an artificial blood meant to assist in keeping my prototype alive, which no longer exists."

"So we walked around in a giant life support system...can we call Goku to, like...blow up that part…? Because I ain't going back down there," Dr. Briefs complained.

"With the right chemicals and outside stimuli, a reaction could be done to alter it into plain water," Skye noted, typing away on a tablet, "It could easily be converted into a Chao Garden as a way to introduce something from our planet to visitors if the ARK is converted into an interstellar 'gateway' for aliens visiting the planet."

"Let's do that...but in my mind, I'm gonna imagine we did the Goku thing and rebuilt it from scratch." Dr. Briefs snapped his fingers in agreement.

"Agreed," Skye nodded.

"Well...that creepy development aside…"

"I don't think it'll be that easy, Bulma…" Amy and Sally sighed.

"This will make a great Side project...whenever I'm not busy trying to make a De-Robotizer…" Bulma shrugged.

"We got so close last time," Dr. Briefs sighed, "But who'd think spilling water on the keyboard would wipe out power to the entire sea board. Not you, Skye."

"At least restoring the power back was a simple job," Skye noted.

"Those pictures better be gone like you agreed on," Shadow scowled.

"Relax. No one outside of those there will ever tell anyone about you having to run on a giant hamster wheel to act as an emergency power supply to the sea board and...oopsie," Dr. Brief chuckled sheepishly as Amy and Sally-who hadn't been there-started giggling.

"On the plus side, that attempt at least made it so that Jules can eat again, so progress," Skye shrugged.

"One step at a time!" Dr. Briefs cheered, "May have to make a generator that can both give us the energy and not short out the country's electrical grid...might need to look into that 'turning Ki into a renewable energy' idea again…"

"Or convince Sonic, my daughter, or Shadow to get into the hamster wheel," Skye chuckled.

"Never. Again," Shadow stated.

"Hamster wheel...Oh my Chaos...you didn't?!" Amy laughed.

"It was an emergency," Dr. Brief replied, "The entire sea board went out."

"..."

"...We're in trouble," Skye noted, trying to not look at the annoyed Shadow as he pulled out a touch screen pen and began to draw blueprints on the tablet.

"Don't worry...the ship will get us from here to Earth and the bunker in 10 minutes flat," Dr. Briefs spoke as they began slowly walking out.

"Get back here!" Shadow shouted, chasing after them.

"Book it!" Skye yelped.

"I can't wait for that beach trip…" Bulma muttered.

---

"Alright, so I get that you're taking an epic beach trip and all…" Krillin began as he watched Goku bait an anchor to use as a fishing line, "But...why?"

"Well I need to feed myself!" Goku laughed, "And nothing beats a deep sea kaiju cookout."

"Goku, you know how animals are endangered…"

"En-what?" Goku blinked.

"Oh my Dende…" Krillin sighed.

"Ah it's okay," Goku waved off.

"No, I don't think it is," Krillin shook his head.

"Ah, you worry too much."

"Goku, I'm a police officer...and a Dad. That's literally my job. My kid isn't half super alien," Krillin argued, "Actually...now that I think about it, does Marron have powers? Note to self: talk to 18 later…"

"Hey, I think I got something!" Goku shouted as the chain was being pulled down...before a giant sea monster rose up...and swallowed him.

"Yeah...That's about right…" Krillin sighed, "And 3...2...1…" he counted before the water exploded upwards, "Dinner got away?" he asked as Goku washed up to the beach.

"That I did!" Goku laughed.

"You're one of a kind, Goku!" Krillin laughed.

---

"Alright...explain to me how this happened?" Vegeta asked Roll as there was a person-shaped hole in the wall, "I mean I do far worse...but I am above the rules!"

"Well, I'm not completely sure," Roll admitted, "I was just looking at the ingredients and supplies in the kitchen and going over recipes I could think of involving them. Next thing I know, someone grabs me and my instincts go off."

"Huh...no one else should be in the house...so this is potentially a creepy mystery…" Vegeta muttered, "Trunks!" he shouted, walking out, "We got people to bury!"

"Yes!" Trunks cheered, running out with a shovel.

"Do you need some rope or chains?" Roll asked.

"Yes please!" Trunks smiled.

"I feel like this is a red flag," Sonic muttered as Roll dug into her tail and pulled out a bundle of rope, "Lotta red flags."

"Whoever it was must have a weak power level 'cause I can hardly sense them..." Vegeta muttered, "Guess we do this the old fashion way. Trunks, if you find them...save a few hits for Dad, will ya."

"Kay Dad!" Trunks cheered as he and Roll walked off to search.

"...One question," Sonic noted.

"What?"

"If someone has a weak amount of power that you can't sense it, wouldn't they have died and we'd have a dead body to hide?" Sonic asked.

"Hmph. Of course they'd be dead. You'd have to have a body that can actually tank the blows despite being weak or a robot and…" Vegeta trailed off.

"...One of Eggman's goons," Sonic frowned, "And we can't just use a magnet to search for 'em. There's a spray that he uses that prevents them from being affected by magnets. We swiped the recipe to coat Bunnie's limbs so she wouldn't be affected, either."

"Hmm...then it's time for the nuclear option. Trunks...take the girls out of the house," Vegeta cracked his knuckles.

"Nuclear option...oh you're not gonna…"

"I'm blowing up the house!" Vegeta smiled.

"Yeah!" Trunks cheered.

"Should've seen that coming…"

---

"I got a bad feeling…" Bulma spoke, looking up from the computer.

"How often does that happen?" Amy asked.

"With my husband...at least once a day," Bulma admitted. She then reached into her suit as she heard a faint ringing, "Vegeta?"

=Okay, now don't be mad…=

"I will be…"

=So we found someone sneaking into the house...Trunks got everyone important, like your mother and the other girls, and the animals…=

=A LITTLE WARNING!= Sonic screamed.

=But...the house is gone...again= Vegeta spoke =Don't worry...I saved my Gravity chamber!=

"What about the Dragon Balls?"

=I dunno...They should be somewhere under all the...rubble…= Vegeta muttered.

"Rubble…?" Bulma repeated, her eye twitching.

=Dad! I found one! Ah hot! Hot! Hot potato!=

=Wait, what? Ah!= Sonic cried out =Not cool!=

=Ah! Hot-hot-hot! Don't throw it back!= Trunks complained.

"Did you get whoever was in the house…?" Bulma asked, trying to ignore the childish 16-year-old arguing with a little kid over a hot stone in a game of Hot Potato.

=Let me call you back…=

"Vegeta, don't you dare...and he hung up on me…" Bulma grumbled.

---

"Okay, so how often do you just blow up your own house?!" Sonic complained.

"This month?" Vegeta asked, using Ki Telekinesis to lift rubble out of his way without touching it, "Well, this month has been rather slow...so this makes the first time I demolished the whole thing again."

"They've actually made Saiyan Insurance due to how often this happens," Mrs. Briefs noted, petting a tyrannosaurus rex's head that was hiding behind her.

"The world government knows about me and Kakarot...but we don't let the locals know. Not sure how they'd react to the aliens having been living amongst them," Vegeta spoke, "Plus it would make the wish to Shenron to forget what happened when I first got here moot."

"Wait...you make people forget all the horrible events that happen to the world?" Sonic blinked.

"It's almost like they weren't horribly traumatic," Vegeta countered.

"How many times have you done that?" Sonic asked.

"With myself and Buu mostly," Vegeta explained, "Bulma did it for me first so I could come and go from here without causing an incident. The next was when Satan wanted Buu to live a normal life. Whatever that means...all it does is eat and laze around his mansion."

"...Okay. Fair, I guess," Sonic muttered.

"Personally I didn't mind if they hated me," Vegeta spoke, "I did horrible things to the people here. But...for better or worse...this world is my home now. If it's what Bulma wanted, then fine. Besides, I don't want my stupid youth to affect Trunks."

"I get the feeling your 'stupid youth' already has considering he was the one who broke the support beams when you told him to distract," Sonic deadpanned.

"I can still hurt you, Hedgehog," Vegeta replied as he dug up another Dragon Ball, "That should be the last of them. Besides Kakarot's…"

"That guy was strange, too," Rouge noted, "It was as if he was copying anyone that fought him perfectly."

"I still owe that creep for hitting me with a roundhouse," Sonic scowled.

"It is concerning," Roll agreed.

"Oh please. Learning by watching is something any fighter does if they're interested in a maneuver," Vegeta huffed, "Lord knows Kakarot has done it plenty of times."

"Yeah, but Goku adapts it into his own style. This was more...like fighting a mirror," Sonic pointed out.

"It was rather...strange even for martial arts mimicry…" Vegeta admitted.

"What do you think happened to them, dad?" Trunks asked as he collected all the Dragon Balls into his hoodie like a sack.

"With any luck...I sent them to another world. At least they didn't get anything dangerous."

"Not like you left anything for them to take," Sonic chuckled only to cry in pain as a smack sound filled the air, "The back of my head!"

"Days like this make me wonder what it'd be like if the entire city was nanites like New Mobotropolis was before our worlds fused," Mrs. Briefs noted, now petting a tiger just as big as the T-Rex.

"Easier to rebuild houses," Sonic replied, "Heck, last I heard before Eggman caused the worlds to fuse, Nicole was able to rebuild an entire castle and the ground under it in little under a few days."

"I have wondered how Bulma rebuilt cities after some of the less global scale fights…" Vegeta mused, "Well least it can't get…"

"Oh whoa! Vegeta, what happened to your house?" Goku asked, appearing in a flash of Instant Transmission.

"...worse…" Vegeta sighed.

"You missed a big fight!" Trunks beamed.

"Aw what?! I did?!" Goku gawked, "Vegeta, why didn't you tell me that there was a fight going on?"

"Kakarot, I swear...if you don't go, there will be a fight…" Vegeta clenched his teeth.

"Well then why would I leave?!" Goku shouted only to yelp as Vegeta swung his hand at Goku's head, "AH?! What I do?!" he panicked, flying away as Vegeta chased him.

"Saiyans…" they all sighed as lights shone through the sky indicating their fighting.

While all were distracted, they failed to notice something...ooze out of the rubble. It was a metallic liquid that slowly retook form into a humanoid figure...before changing into Metal Sonic. He raised his hand up as his hand morphed...into a Dragon Radar.

"Dragon Radar has been copied," Metal Sonic stated.

---

"I leave for three days," Bulma spoke, her eye twitching, "Three days…" she proceeded to point at the crater that had once been rubble that had once been the house, "And you turned the house into a crater!"

"Vegeta did it," Goku quickly blamed, trying hard to not look at Bulma or Chi-Chi's glares.

"You were the one who teleported out of the way of your rightly deserved Ki blast!" Vegeta growled.

"I don't know what I did!" Goku cried, falling to his knees.

"That's literally the story of your life…" Bulma and Chi-Chi sighed.

"Still, great to see you again, Chi-Chi," Bulma noted, "Have you been growing your hair out?"

"Hm? Well, it's something Pari convinced me to do," Chi-Chi replied, moving a hand to her hair that was going down just past her shoulders, "She's quite persuasive."

"Am I still in trouble?" Goku asked innocently.

"Yes," both replied, making him slump.

"Well this seems like the best time to renovate...oh! Skye, we can make that new generator you pitched last Wednesday!" Dr. Briefs cheered.

"Sounds fantastic," Skye grinned, "Maybe we should also make that one for generating enough power for the Deroboticizer through a fast runner."

"..." Shadow pushed Sonic forward and up to the Geniuses, "I volunteer…" he spoke in the worst impression of Sonic ever.

"...Dude, that was bad," Sonic snickered, "Also...you totally pulled a funny."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No...I didn't," Shadow frowned, aiming a gun right at Sonic.

"Woah woah! Easy edgelord."

"Grr…"

"Thank you both for volunteering!" Skye beamed, patting their shoulders.

"?!" both tensed before collapsing on their faces, revealing tiny needles in the palm of Skye's hands.

"Hurry before the paralysis wears off!" Skye called, "To Chuck's house!"

"Good thing we relocated our tests there," Dr. Briefs noted.

"Shadow is going to kill them, isn't he?" Bulma asked.

"Once he's able to move, most likely," Sally nodded.

"Tou-san…" Roll sighed, shaking her head.

"Well guess we'll have to stay at the beach house longer," Bulma sighed, "Not that it's a bad thing since I got the new one."

"New one?" many of them blinked.

---

"Bulma...this is an island resort…" Amy noted.

"I bought it as a place to get away...and so Vegeta and Goku have an open air space to fight without you know...scaring people to death thinking there's something stupid like sky quakes." Bulma sighed, adjusting her sunglasses.

"It's ginormous!" Akai gawked.

'That's what she said,' Pari signed with a mute giggle.

"It's amazing, Bulma-chan," Aphrodite noted.

"I also figured it would be useful for parties for our group," Bulma sighed, "I mean...look at what Goku and Vegeta can do when they are being friendly. Believe it or not...Goku can get mad right back some days."

"Goku?" they all asked.

"Goku...remember the Chashu pork?"

"You ate my food!" Goku shouted as he was the one chasing Vegeta this time.

"See?" Bulma snickered.

"Nice," Aphrodite giggled, "And seems a good way to get him up for taking things seriously."

"I think he can if he realizes how bad the problem is," Bulma spoke.

"Goku's just too kind," Chi-Chi smiled, "I mean...Piccolo tried to kill him many times...but now he's like a part of the family. Speaking of...I still never talked to him about kidnapping Gohan for a year."

---

"GH?" Piccolo tensed in the middle of meditation, his ears twitching, "I don't think I should leave here...for a while…"

---

"It wasn't that bad, mom," Gohan spoke up, "I mean unlike other kids, I had the benefit of being half alien…"

"Wait...he kidnapped you?" Videl blinked.

"It really wasn't that bad!" Gohan defended.

"I'm thinking it was pretty bad…" Bulma replied.

"Chi-Chi tried to kill me when I told her," Krillin added.

"...I may...have been very stressed…" Chi-Chi admitted.

"Understandable," Aphrodite noted, hugging Haseo from behind, "If someone had tried that with my kittens.." she smiled sweetly, "There'd be nothing left that not even the Dragon Balls could revive."

"I don't feel safe." Krillin replied.

"Agreed," the other girls of the Sakurai agreed/signed, hiding behind Bulma and Chi-Chi.

"Wait...Niichan got to go on a long camping trip with Piccolo...yet I spend one day with him and I'm grounded," Goten complained.

"That's because you skipped school...and dragged Haseo with you..." Chi-Chi sighed.

"He had a helmet…" Goten countered, further proving he was indeed Goku's son.

"Well, as much as I'd like to continue this path of scary mothers, mayhaps we should put our things away in our rooms here for some beach fun?" Akai asked.

"Good idea. Vegeta!" Bulma called out as he floated back, "Be a dear and take everyones' things to the house."

"Wha?! Why me?!"

"Because you...blew up the house," Bulma smiled as she lifted her luggage and dropped it in his hands, "Pile on everyone!" She cheered as everyone followed suit and began balancing their things into a pile Vegeta had to carry.

"Rassa frassin'...I'll pile on everyone you…" Vegeta muttered.

"We're gonna go get changed for the beach. Join us when you're done!" Bulma laughed as they all walked off.

"Grr…"

---

"...For some reason, I can't help but imagine me living on an island by the shore when I go to a beach," Sonic noted, a pair of red swim trunks on him.

"Maybe something you've always wanted?" Gohan asked, wearing a pair of purple swim trunks.

"Eh, maybe," Sonic shrugged

"Alright, wish me luck guys, I'm going fishin'!" Goku, wearing a pair of orange trunks and a blue tank top, cheered as he put on a pair of goggles and a snorkel before diving deep into the ocean.

"..." Sonic shuddered.

"..." Sally, wearing a blue two piece bikini, and Amy, wearing a red two piece bikini, stared at Roll, wearing a pink and black one-piece swimsuit with a heart-shape cutout on the back.

"Eh?" Roll pondered, noticing their staring.

"How did you get that figure?" Amy asked.

"Eh? Ano...well, genetics and a biweekly massage?" Roll replied.

"A massage?" Sally arched an eyebrow.

"Oh yes. We use a special massage oil my family makes meant to promote growth in body and mind," Roll replied.

"You got some of that stuff on ya?" Amy asked.

"All Sakurai do," Roll replied, digging into her hair and pulled out a small bottle with a heart on it before putting it back in, "And you're both more than welcome to have one. Auntie Mika is a great masseuse."

"Go get 'em, Mika!" Jem cheered, wearing a silver two piece bikini with a star on the right cup, while Mika, wearing a purple one piece swimsuit, surfed on a tidal wave.

"Your family really is one of a kind, huh?" Sally noted.

"Another shark came towards Haseo," Goten spoke, dragging a shark across the sand.

=Why do they always go after him?= Nicole asked, her screen showing her wearing a purple one-piece with a sarong.

"AHH! Tatsukete~!" Haseo screamed, his tails acting as a propeller to further drive him away from the herd of sharks chasing after him.

"Hang on, buddy!" Goten shouted, flying after him.

"Goten is a good friend. We remarkably don't need to do as much saving anymore," Roll noted as they watched Goten chase the sharks off...using one shark to beat another shark, "Thankfully he's both much faster...and very much stronger than us."

"Bad sharks!" Goten shouted, lifting the largest one over his head, "Now...huh you know...this one...this one looks kinda yummy…"

"Goten, don't eat endangered animals!" Chi-Chi shouted.

"Ah…" Goten sighed, spinning around and flinging the shark into the distance, "I'm eating the first ones I caught…" he crossed his arms as Haseo jumped onto his back as they floated out of the water.

"It's so nice to see him have a friend," Aphrodite giggled, a purple sling bikini on her.

"Why do animals chase Haseo?" Goten asked, floating down next to Aphrodite, "It's not a problem half the time when he's chased by cats and dogs...but...sometimes I need to punch a wolf...even I don't think that's normal, Auntie…" he held his arms up as Haseo slid off, "This is from me...I love punching random stuff."

"It's because he likes to hide treats in his tails," Aphrodite replied, pulling out a bag of bacon from Haseo's white tail.

"Bacon…" Goten muttered in a trance.

"Hmm...That might explain a lot…" Chi-Chi blinked, wearing a yellow and purple one piece as Aphrodite put the bacon back into Haseo's tail, "Huh...That is something I've also noticed. When someone digs into their tails, they find nothing. But if you go into them, you pull out anything."

"That's because I'm at a higher level in this technique than my kittens," Aphrodite replied.

"K-Kaa-san…" Haseo muttered with an embarrassed blush.

"Hehehe...she called you a kitty," Goten chuckled.

"And you are my little infant," Chi-Chi noted, hugging Goten from behind.

"Aw mom~!" Goten whined.

"Though...I wonder what's taking Goku so long...Normally he's awakened some deep sea monster by now…" Chi-Chi muttered.

"Maybe he's distracted by something," Akai suggested, a light-blue sling bikini on her

"He has been down there a long time though…" Haseo noted, "Can...can Saiyans breathe underwater?"

"I can't," Goten laughed.

"They do not," Chi-Chi added. Everyone then turned as a huge explosion of water went off a while away, "Oh there he is." a cackle of electricity went off before a roar.

"I caught a big one!" Goku's voice shouted.

"Told you...sea kaiju," Chi-Chi put her hands on her hips.

"Oh that's gonna make a lot of food," Aphrodite noted.

"NANI KORE?!" Mika freaked.

"Surf for your life, Mika!" Jem called with a laugh in her tone.

"NOT FUNNY! I AM FLEEING FROM A GIANT SEA BEAST THAT ACTS LIKE AN EEL THAT IS FIGHTING AN ALIEN WARRIOR THAT EATS MORE THAN P'LI WHEN HE VISITS!"

"I love how I'm no longer the only who says strange sentences…" Chi-Chi mused.

"He's a fighter!" Goku cheered, going Super Saiyan as he punched the monster and making it sink down, "Oh no you don't! You're our Lunch and dinner!" he dived back down, "KA...ME...HA...ME...HAAA!-!" at that, a giant beam of light went straight up into the sky...the beast faintly seen in the beam before it ended and Goku flew out to catch it mid-air, "Biggest one ever!"

"That...That is gigantic," Sonic noted with wide eyes.

"Hai/Yep," Amy, Roll, and Sally agreed with wide eyes as well.

"I've got a measuring tape!" Jem beamed, pulling it out of her cleavage, "Let's measure it and write it down in case you find something even bigger!"

"No wonder it took Dad so long to get one...that thing must have been near the very bottom of the ocean…" Gohan muttered, putting on a pair of glasses to get a better look, "Only Dad could go to that level of deep sea fishing."

"It's not as big as Perfect Chaos," Sonic noted, "Then again, the entire planet's water could've been considered his body…"

"Perfect Chaos?" Chi-Chi and the Sakurai repeated.

"Nicole, please display any pictures you have of Perfect Chaos from when it rampaged in Station Square," Sally spoke.

=Of course, Sally= Nicole replied as the screen changed to display a titanic serpent made of water and dark-blue scales with dreadlocks and green eyes in the midst of an entire city wrecked.

"That's Chaos?" Gohan asked, "He looks almost as big as Shenron-sama…"

=Chaos is the God of Water on the planet. With all seven Chaos Emeralds, he can control it to the point he can flood even the tops of mountains= Nicole noted.

"So it kinda is like Shenron…" Gohan nodded, "How did you stop him?"

"Went Super Sonic and knocked all the negative energy out of him," Sonic answered.

"Negative energy?"

"Long story but...well, the Knuckles Clan-a tribe of Echidnas that overlooked the Master and Chaos Emeralds really long ago-had a leader that wanted to abuse the powers of both the Master and Chaos Emeralds. His daughter didn't like that and tried to stop him...but he ignored her as he and a few of his followers raided the shrine, injuring both his daughter and the Chao that lived in the shrine," Sonic explained, "Chaos considers Chao as his kids and, well...He went Papa Bear on them."

"Using the Seven Chaos Emeralds, he destroyed the Knuckles Clan and their village, leaving the leader's daughter to use an ancient spell to seal both herself and Chaos in the Master Emerald," Sally added.

"And it lasted...until Eggman broke the Master Emerald and freed Chaos in an attempt to control him," Amy added.

"Exactly how many stories begin with: 'Because Eggman thought/tried'?" Vegeta sighed as he fanned Bulma who was laying in a beach chair in a red bikini.

"A lot," Sonic, Sally, Nicole, and Amy deadpanned.

"Imma blast him the next time I see him," Vegeta stated.

"Vegeta…"

"Imma do it…" Vegeta grumbled.

"Trust us. No matter how many times we beat him, he just bounces back," Amy sighed.

"Let's see him bounce off the sun…" Vegeta smirked.

"He'd most likely make a dummy to trick ya," Sonic deadpanned.

"HA! L-"

"He's done it a few times before when we thought we caught him," Sally sighed, "Especially when he was sound of mind."

"But if we don't sense ki...then we know it's fake," Goten argued, "Unless he turns himself into a cyborg…" he blinked a few times, "Would he be a super strong cyborg you can't tell is a Cyborg like Marron's mom? Or the kind that just has a boring one robot body part?"

"..."

"...Oh lord he did that, didn't he?" Vegeta groaned.

"Well...it's complicated, but he used to be one," Sonic clarified, "Technically he was a version of Robotnik that….well won and turned all of his Zone into full machines and metal...but he wasn't satisfied, so he came here to our Zone to try and conquer it...and many many defeats-and a certain event-later...he's human."

"So...no super powers?" Goten asked, "This Egg-guy don't make no sense."

"Ah he doesn't seem that bad! He's no Frieza or Cell," Goku pointed out, "Maybe we can keep him if we beat him up enough!"

"Wait...do you treat people who were enemies and are now friends...like pets?" Bulma blinked.

"Don't you dare say yes…" Vegeta growled.

"...maybe…" Goku smiled.

"Ugh…" Bulma facepalmed.

"At least he didn't say 'yes,'" Vegeta snorted.

"I mean...Bulma also tried to kill me as kids…" Goku chuckled, "Shot me right between the eyes!"

"Wait...has everyone in your life tried to kill you at least once?" Sonic realized.

"I mean...besides Krillin." Goku muttered, "And my kids...and King Kai...you know, I can actually count the amount of people I have relationships with and haven't tried killing me once with my fingers."

"...Wow," Sonic blinked, "And I thought I had a lot of enemies with some now good friends of mine...like Knuckles...and Shadow...and St. John...and Sal's dad that one time in the Zone of Silence…"

"I swear to god it's like you're twins from across the multiverse…" Bulma muttered.

"I still want to kill him…" Vegeta and Shadow muttered to themselves.

"Wh-why don't we talk about something else?" Amy quickly suggested, "Roll, you said your lemur friend Tangle was coming right?"

"I did….though she ran off just as we were leaving. Something about picking someone up," Roll admitted.

"She's crazy, you know. likeable...but crazy." Sonic noted.

"She's just...really energetic," Roll sheepishly chuckled.

"HEY GUYS! SORRY I'M LATE!"

"Oh! There she i-" Amy began before they noticed Tangle in a black tube top and yellow boy's swim trunks...currently pushing a nervous yet confused Whisper in her jacket and a white one-piece swimsuit, "..."

"Who's that?" Sonic asked.

"Oh, that's Whisper-san. She spent part of the tournament with us," Jem noted.

"Shy Awoo lady!" Goten cheered.

"Sh...shy Awoo?" Whisper repeated once Tangle pushed her near the group.

"I...I am not a smart boy…" Goten admitted, "Haseo is my brain, and I am the muscle!"

"Heh. Well I like it!" Tangle beamed...before grabbing Whisper before she could move, "Come on...you can use more interactions with people, girl."

"I...really don't want to…" Whisper stated….trying not to look at Shadow.

"See...Shy Awoo…" Goten smiled, "She's Shy...and a wolf...so she goes Awoo."

"Honey, I love how your mind works...but time and place." Chi-Chi sighed, patting his head.

"I need to consult my brain...Haseo...did I do a goof?" Goten asked.

"Ano…" Haseo shrugged.

"Hmm...Brain's not sure, so Shy Awoo is this nice Neesan's new nickname! For now and forever!" Goten cheered with a goofy grin.

"...Whisper," Whisper corrected.

"...Okay, but why?" Goku whispered.

"Idiot. That's her name," Vegeta deadpanned.

"..."

"Give him a second." Chi-Chi sighed, knowing her husband.

"Oh!" Goku realized.

"No...nope...give him another one…" Chi-Chi sighed.

"Oh no. Wait. Now I get it!" Goku chuckled.

"For the record...we know he was dropped on his head...off a cliff…" Bulma added.

"That...or stupid is genetic…" Vegeta muttered as Goku and Goten stood there with the same dopey expression on their faces.

"...?" Whisper just slowly tilted her head a bit.

"Eh. You get used to 'em," Tangle shrugged, "I know I defs have."

"Can we eat the sea monster now?" Goten asked.

"Sea m-WOAH!" Tangle gawked once she noticed it, "You caught that thing?! ...So awesome~!"

"How do you plan to…" Sonic began before Vegeta held up his arm in a karate chop pose...as an aura of yellow energy formed a long energy blade, "Nevermind…"

"?!" Whisper's eyes widened upon seeing that.

"Oh...yeah I forgot to tell ya...the two with super spiky hair are aliens." Tangle chuckled, "They can do cool stuff like shoot lasers and apparently make lightsabers from their hands."

"And it's learnable," Sonic noted.

"TEACH ME!" Tangle instantly begged.

"Okay!" Goku smiled, "First...we start with how to fly!"

"Speaking of that, how goes learning it, Sonic?" Skye asked.

"..." Sonic tried to not look at him, "It's...good."

"He somehow keeps landing in water," Roll giggled.

"I do not!" Sonic argued.

"When we did that run in the desert and you practiced, you found an oasis that no one's ever seen that we claimed with a flag and then paperwork filed in triplicate," Roll pointed out.

"...How…" Whisper began.

"Don't ask…" Shadow stated...making her turn her head away from him, "?"

"Why does she keep looking away from Shadow?" Goten asked.

"Maybe because he looks like a scary edgelord?" Trunks suggested.

"Could be Rouge set him up on a blind date with her that he forgot about," Amy quietly guessed.

"That is not a thing that has happened to me…" Shadow complained, "Also I've never seen her before in my life."

"You're still scary looking…" Trunks muttered.

"You also have a creepy smile…" Goten added.

"..." Shadow's eye twitched.

"Trunks, stop trying to make him mad," Bulma scolded.

"But it's so easy…" Trunks chuckled.

"You are both the sons of your fathers…" Shadow sighed.

"..." Whisper began to inch away before Tangle wrapped an arm around her.

"Ah-ah. Not leaving until ya get buddy w-" Tangle began before Whisper pushed her away with her weapon, "Oh..eh heh. Right...still a bit on a personal space type of thing…"

Aphrodite giggled, "Oh, she did the same thing to Mika-chan."

'A pleasure to see you again, Ms. Whisper,' Pari greeted.

"What's she doing?" Trunks whispered to Goten.

"Pari can't talk, so she does it with her hands," Goten quietly explained, "It's really cool, but I don't really get what she says when she does it." he chuckled, "But I get what she means most of the time."

"How do you…" Trunks began.

"Ki mind reading…" they all replied.

"They can do that, too!?" Tangle asked.

"...So far only Goku and Goten…" Sonic admitted as the two began chowing down, "And...we think why...is 'cause they themselves don't have a lot going on at all times up there…"

"Piccolo can do it." Amy added, "Maybe it's just a rare skill."

=Possibly= Nicole spoke up =I have searched it up and there are indeed a few rare cases of Mobians and humans with psychic abilities...one being a 'Clair Voyance'=

"..." Whisper seemed to hang her head down at the name.

"...You okay, Whisper?" Tangle asked in concern, looking at the saddened look on the wolfess' face.

"...y-yes. Just peachy," Whisper replied as she shook her head a bit.

"..." Roll said nothing as she looked at her, having noticed her reaction, "..." she smiled before dipping her tail into the water and flicked it at Sonic.

"Gah!" Sonic yelped, "Cold! Very cold!" he gave Roll a look as she giggled at it, "Oh, a wise gal, huh?"

"What's wrong? Can't handle a little water, Sonic?" Shadow questioned.

"Oh, I can handle it," Sonic noted before Roll and Shadow spat and spluttered as their faces were soaked with water, "But can you?"

"...Did you just splash them before we could blink?" Bulma asked.

"Actually, I ran out into the water, grabbed some water, made it into two perfect balls, and threw it at them before you could blink," Sonic chuckled.

"To do all that without letting the water displace, you'd have to run at around 100 attoseconds," Bulma noted with wide eyes.

"I just do this!" Goku cheered, holding his hand out as a giant mass of water floated up and over them.

"I hate Ki…" Sonic paled as Goku let it drop and splash everyone, "OHH! THAT'S WORSE! A LOT WORSE!"

"KAKAROT!" Vegeta barked.

"Uh oh. Uh...Tag, you're it!" Goku called as he flew away with Vegeta chasing him.

"GET BACK HERE AND SUFFER!"

"No thank you!"

"...I did not think we'd actually need these…" Chi-Chi spoke as she and Aphrodite had lifted up umbrellas, Bulma and Skye under the umbrellas with them.

"Pfft! Ahahahahah! That was a blast!" Tangle laughed, completely soaked to the brim while Whisper was completely dry...thanks to an energy construct from her weapon taking the shape of a green umbrella, "...Oh that's no fair."

"Always be prepared…" Whisper argued...before she was hit by a splash of water, "?!"

"That get you?" Roll asked with a sly smile, shaking herself enough to leave her dry and her fur puffed up...aside from her tail that had splashed the water at her.

"..."

"Pffft...Roll, you look ridiculous…" Tangle snickered.

"It really does happen to all of 'em…" Goten noted as he used his Ki to dry Haseo with a gust of air.

"Yeah it does!" Tangle laughed as she shook herself to dry herself...before her entire fur poofed up as well, tail and all.

"...m...mm…" Whisper twitched a bit as her lips began to curly into a smile...followed a snicker as she tried to remain calm and stoic.

"You know it's okay to laugh, we all are, Shy-Awoo-Neechan," Goten spoke up.

"Well...The majority of us," Skye noted with a chuckle as a pouting, very fluffy Haseo was being cooed at by most of the girls there, "Always happens when the kiddo's fur puffs up."

"Tou-san~" Haseo whined.

"..." Whisper said nothing as she quickly turned and donned her mask to hide her blush, 'C...cute…'

"Aw~He's so fluffy!" Tangle cooed.

"See? Just like that," Skye chuckled before sputtering as his face was soaked.

"Arigatou, Onii-chan," Haseo thanked, giggling, as Sonic snickered.

"Oh, go practice your landings," Skye deadpanned...yet still kept a smile of amusement on his face.

"...I'm gonna remember that," Sonic smirked before running off.

"Oh grow up…" Shadow muttered, "...Oh wait. I forget who I was talking to."

"Whatever you say, Ow the Edgelord!" Sonic laughed.

"I'MMA KILL HIM!" Shadow snapped as he dashed after Sonic, kicking up enough sand to bury several of them in enough sand that they looked like sand sculptures of themselves.

"Pfft! Ptui!" Amy spat out, quickly shaking her head of the sand, "Ohh...Those boys..."

"Well, I better go chase after Sonikku," Roll noted before giving Tangle a hug and Whisper a bow and raced off...covering those who had gotten covered in Shadow's sand with another load.

"She did that on purpose," Mika noted after getting her head out of all the sand.

'Wait a second, Mika,' Pari signed...before putting a little white flag on the top of her head, 'And the castle is done.'

"...Very funny," Mika deadpanned as the kids began to laugh, snicker, and giggle.

"Aha! I knew this would work! Now Metal is a Radar all the time!" Eggman cheered as they climbed a mountain range in the north, "I just wish this thing was more clear…" he leaned forward and squinted his eyes, "What's that...5 meters...or 50 Kilometers?"

"You may need a new prescription," Metal noted.

"Well I've been following you…" Eggman muttered, "I'm sure it will be this way!" he walked forward before he walked off an unseen chasm in the rocks, "AAAAHHH!" a loud metallic clang was heard as Metal looked down, "Who puts a metal door inside of a mountain!?"

"You last month for a new base in the frozen north until Goku teleported into it while you were in the shower," Metal replied.

"Oh yeah, I did do that," Eggman recalled as Metal flew down to him.

"The radar detects the Dragon Ball behind this door," Metal informed, "It must have fallen through an opening in the formation."

"What's this…'Red Ribbon Army'…" Eggman read a rusted out sign, "Interesting, I think I read of this. They were like Goku's versions of...us...before he killed all of them...ehehehe...eeee…" he cringed, "Maybe I lucked out with the crazy child of chaos that tormented me." he shook his head, "Metal...knock on the door please."

"...Very well," Metal replied as he walked up to the door and tapped it...only for it to fall over, "..."

"...Not what I wanted to happen, but I'll take it…" Eggman muttered as they walked in, "My word...it's a lab...a Sub Lab at least...no wait. It's a Sub-Sub-Lab...I did this once before, forgot all about it...oh I wonder what this poor sap was trying to forget…"

"Analysis: The secret bunker of a Dr. Gero...cross referencing. An old enemy of Son Goku, creator of the Android series...and Cell." Metal spoke, "It must be his storage space for failed models and experiments. But filled with many of his notes for his method of making modified life forms with cybernetics implanted to the cellular level."

"...Really now~?" Eggman asked with a VERY interested grin, "OH! Tell me where these failed models are! I can repurpose and remodify them!"

"..." Metal tilted Eggman's head to the side to see three large pods labeled 13-15.

"Fantastic!" Eggman beamed, clapping his hands together, "Now let's see here…" he typed away at the computer by the pods, "My word. Hacking this was remarkably easy enough. Then again, it's been years, possibly decades, since this army ended, so of course their antivirus isn't the latest...or made by that infuriating walrus. Seriously, it's completely rude when I try to hack it!"

"Beginning download and decryption of data," Metal spoke, helping, "Important data, pertaining to 17 and 18, perfect fusion of biology and cybernetics."

"Oh? Brilliant!" Eggman beamed, "And here's the blueprints for those three and...wait. Is...Did this Gero really make them weird colors on purpose? And from previous saved files, 14 was supposed to be 15 and vice-versa."

"Answer: Uncertain…" Metal replied, "It would seem the good Dr. Gero was...unstable at points, there are lines of code that just read: KILL SON GOKU! KILL SON GOKU!," Metal spoke in a scary digital version of Gero's voice that sounded absolutely insane and mad, "It would appear he went through a phase of sloppy work...and then brilliant work. However, the one known as 13 is a prototype for his Android Absorption system…"

"Interesting," Eggman smirked deviously before pulling out a radio, "Oh, Lien-Da~!"

=Sir?=

"Listen, I'm sending you coordinates. Bring the Death Egg over this way because we have a lot of goodies to bring to the ship, courtesy of the late Dr. Gero," Eggman informed.

"I'm just gonna delete the several gigabytes of code that just say: 'Kill Son Goku!' on loop," Metal spoke mostly to himself, "Hmm...these speech files are corrupted with...country music files? Oh that shall get annoying…and...no...can't patch that..."

=Country music files? Several gigabytes of…?= Lien-Da gawked before sighing =Right. I'll get to bringing the Death Egg over=

"I don't think I'll be able to do much for their...quirks…" Metal muttered, "But the important files are fine at least. Wait...these are more bionic...why does this one have a drinking problem?"

"Hurry...Metal is getting frustrated…" Eggman added.

"It seems he never perfected mental manipulation technology…" Metal mused, "Ah security footage of...oh...wait...is he a brain in an android body? How did he get his brain in the robot body? ...I...I need to stop…" he walked away, "Resuming search for the Dragon Ball."

"Wow. First time he's done that," Eggman noted, "...I may need to pull out those books on parenting again." he sighed, "Haven't needed those since M and ADAM were…" he trailed off as a pain look crossed his face for a few moments until going back to his normal self, "Alright. While I wait for Lien-Da to get the Death Egg, may as well look into everything he's got about Goku when he was younger." he looked at the monitor for a moment, "Does he have a tail? Okay, that's unexpected...oh my god he's a werewolf...ape...he's a WereApe! Okay, have to make sure he's nowhere near any of my operations if there's a full moon. Though...it does take me back to when I built that giant robot ape that went on a rampage all on his own the very moment he activated. I wonder if the Robotnik I took over for ever made him. May have to look into that in case I need him for the WereApe." he scrolled down, "Wait...he's bulletproof...even before he could fly and blow up celestial bodies...uh let's see...Kaioken...red rage mode, loves this turtle wave thing Metal copied...rode around on a golden cloud and once had a magic unbreakable staff that can extend in length. Can not tell the difference between men and women without physically looking down there...well that explains a lot...and yet raises more questions. What's this...as learned from Vegeta...Saiyans get stronger every time...they lose or come back from near death…wait, wait...you mean if I don't kill him with something for sure...he's just going to grow stronger?!" he groaned, "Gah! I hate that monkey man almost as much as I hate that hedgehog!" he paused and looked around in fear that his outburst somehow summoned Goku to this location, "...Phew...what's this? 'Subject has severe Trypanophobia...trypanophobia...what's that...the extreme fear of Needles?"

---

"I just felt a chill…" Goku spoke suddenly, "Like someone...talked about...n-needles…" he shivered.

---

"That's it...really? The great Son Goku, the super powered alien warrior who saved the universe...is afraid of needles to the point it makes him unable to fight like Sonic and water...no, wait, this makes sense now…" Eggman rambled, "These amazing pains in my keister...have a goofy phobia that borders on stupid. I'll make sure to hang up some photos of needles and keep several real ones for next time he pops up."

"Dragon Ball acquired," Metal spoke as he walked over, holding the Five Star Ball.

"Ah good good! Let's get the files, the Androids, and get out of here before Goku shows up...and gives me another heart scare…" Eggman sighed.

---

GT: Hoo boy...This...This is not good what Eggman found.

SZ: No...no it is not.

Z0: At least his army won't die from one punch from Vegeta when they piss him off.

SZ: Very true...a-*collapses*Zzz

GT: True. There is that.

Z0: I mean...they still might...it is Vegeta after all...But regardless next time shall be filled with more action for sure as some fun begins.

SZ: Zzz
