Guys, I am soooo sorry for being late with the update, I have no real excuse.
I recently got the game Dragon Ball Xenoverse, and I'm already addicted. Seriously it's my favorite game now of all time, best DBZ game in my opinion. Of course it's not perfect, but hey it's still awesome. But yeah that's the reason I'm late, I hope no one holds it against me. LOL.
But anyway on with the chapter.
Tarble's Tale
Trunks turned around to see a shocked look on 18's face, the Super Saiyan said nothing at first, it's been a whole year since he saw her or her brother. "A-are you alright?" He asked not used to asking such to questions from her.
18 closed her mouth and nodded. "Yes, thank you." She said before turning around. "But 17's knocked out."
The demi-Saiyan kneeled down to look at Android 17, he lifted his head up, his eyes widened at this. 'He's out cold.' He thought in shock, he turned to look at his uncle who was giving a serious look at him with his arms crossed and narrowed eyes. Trunks then turned to see 16 with his head damaged and holding his right arm. He looked back at his uncle amazed. 'He beat all three of them... by himself?' He thought in surprise at the Super Saiyan. 'How strong is he?'
18 kneeled down next to Trunks. "I'll carry 17, you should go see if 16 needs help."
Trunks snapped back to reality. "Huh? Oh right." He got up and walked to 16. "Need any help 16?"
16 smiled and shook his head. "Negative, I need only repairs." The machine replied with no tone.
Trunks nodded and turned to his uncle. "Sorry uncle... you uh never told me your name."
Tarble raised an eyebrow and chuckled a little. "Apologies, it appears I got distracted in all the excitement, my name is Tarble and you nephew?"
The half-Saiyan raised an eyebrow as well, surprised that his father's brother was so...polite. "Trunks, nice to meet you although." He turned to see 16 still holding his arm in place and 18 with 17's shoulder over her. "Maybe we could have met at better circumstances."
Tarble nodded. "Well let's get going, you said your mother can explain everything correct?" He asked showing a disciplined tone.
'Now I see the resemblance.' Trunks thought and turned. "Yeah just follow us, I promise we'll get everything sorted out.
Tarble nodded and his muscles shrank to that of a normal Super Saiyans. "Let's go."
Trunks noted the Super Saiyan's muscles shrank and the energy decreased but made no comment as he turned to 16 and 18. "Are you ready?"
16 and 18 nodded and everyone floated upward and to the direction of Capsule corporation.
Trunks made a silent glance over to Tarble, he couldn't help but wonder what that was. 'A Super Saiyan able to fight 17 and 18 is one thing.' He thought thinking about Gohan. 'But 16' He looked to see his friend damaged. 'I'm pretty sure Gohan wouldn't be able to keep up with him, I can't and I know that I surpassed him.' There' was also the fact that 17 and 18 trained this whole year. The Demi-Saiyan shook his head. 'Now's not the time we have another crises on our hands.' He remembered the two soldiers that were here not too long ago, Tarble said that he wasn't with them. But it's too strange that there here at the same time, he knows Tarble isn't with them since he didn't kill him and the cyborgs when he had the chance. 'I don't like this.'
Tarble glanced over to his apparent nephew, he's Vegeta's son no question. He made a glance over to 18 carrying 17 and to 16. The way he spoke to 18, he can feel some anger and hesitance in his voice. That must mean that they were responsible for Vegeta's death, 17 admitted it himself. So why defend them? On top of that they killed many helpless humans, could it be that they didn't? Was the information he had incorrect? No, there has to be a reason behind all this. Even though Tarble just met him, he trusts his nephew just like he trusted his brother when he needed him back when they were young. He looked back to his nephew. 'What is the meaning of this?'
Though 18 gave a serious face she was actually happy to be alive, there was no question that Tarble was going to kill them with that attack. It was a good thing Trunks came in time, if he hadn't taken the risk, Tarble may have blasted them anyway. She thinks back to what Trunks asked earlier.
Are you with those other guys a while ago?
She narrowed her eyes, there were others? Is that what kept Trunks from coming to them for a while? That must be it, regardless it's odd if Tarble came here not too long ago after those guys Trunks mentioned. 'I guess we'll get our answers soon.' She thought as they continued to fly.

"What are they doing?" Bulma asked wearing the upgraded scouter she got from 16. "The four of them are coming, and the strongest power level just shrank." She said thinking of why they would lead another alien invader to her. She placed a hand to her forehead. "Why do I get the feeling that things are only going to get more complicated." She complained sighing.
Bulma put her hand to her chin, anxious to see who there coming with. The scientist took the scouter off and looked at it amazed. She doesn't think the old scouters would be able to detect an Android's artificial energy, whoever these guys were, they would put Frieza's technology to shame.
A sigh escaped her lips as she put the device back on her face to see the energy signatures are here, she gulped as she got up. "Ok Trunks or 16 would never lead anyone dangerous to me." She said to herself getting up and walking to the door.
Bulma opened it and is shocked at what she saw. 18 is holding 17 over her shoulder, 16 is in bad shape too with an open wound on his head. The only one who wasn't damaged was Trunks and another Super Saiyan next to him. The scientist shook her head and looked at 16, 17 and, 18. "You guys are you alright?" She asked then turned to Trunks. "What about you are you hurt?"
Trunks shook his head. "I'm fine, 17's knocked out and 16 needs some repairs." He said to her trying to calm his mother down.
Bulma glared her eyes at the shorter Super Saiyan. "You, I don't care if your a Super Saiyan you can't just beat up whoever you want!" She yelled at the apparent Saiyan.
Tarble raised an eyebrow and smiled amused. "I can see why Vegeta chose you as his wife." He said chuckling.
Bulma gave a confused look. "What" She asked confused on how he knew Vegeta, then again he was the prince.
Tarble bowed his head to her. "Apologies allow me to introduce myself, my name is Tarble, and I'm Vegeta's younger brother." He said good mannered.
Bulma's eyes widened. "What, Vegeta has a brother!" She yelled in surprise taking a step back. "Well uh, I had no idea Vegeta had a younger brother, I'd say it's nice to meet you but." She looked to the Androids. "I don't like what you did with my friends there."
Tarble glared as she called the Androids 'friends' they killed Vegeta didn't he.
Sensing the anger from Tarble Trunks stepped between them. "We should talk inside, we can explain everything like I promised." He suggested not wanting to test Tarble's temper.
Bulma shook her head. "Fine but he better have a good explanation for his acting." She stated irritated.
Tarble looked to the Androids. "The same for you." He said in a threatening tone.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
Everyone was inside, 17 was in a bed still unconscious from the battle with Tarble, 16 was on a lab table. Trunks and Tarble explained everything that happened and what caused Tarble to attack 17 and 18.
"I get it, so that's why you attacked 17 and 18." Bulma said after finding out that he knew of Vegeta's death.
Tarble remained quite first and sighed. "Yes, 17 admitted that he himself killed Vegeta, and neither denied committing genocide, wiping out more than half of earth's population." He began. "I just don't understand if there such good people if they did all this, my brother may have killed more and enjoyed it, but it was only because he grew up that way under Frieza's rule." He stated clenching his fists at the sight of 18 and 16.
Trunks made a glance to 18 to see her closing her eyes and looking down. The half Saiyan looks at his uncle. "Like I've said my mother can tell you everything." He spoke.
Bulma sees Tarble looking to her and she began talking. "Ok so first off the 17 and 18 weren't at fault for everything that happened." She began.
Tarble raised an eyebrow and glared. "How is that?"
Bulma sighed sighed. "Ok so it all started over a year ago." The scientist told everything from start to finish, the time machine that she created to get Goku's help. The death and revival of the Androids. The Namekian dragonballs, and the mind control device inside of the Cyborg's frontal lobe.
Tarble took everything in and took a breath. "So 17 and 18 are actually Cyborgs who were controlled into killing everyone?" He asked as if unsure.
Trunks and Bulma nodded. Trunks began to speak. "17 and 18 are completely innocent, neither of them were in control of their actions." He spoke to him.
Bulma looked to her son in surprise, not once has he admitted the twins of being innocent. 'It looks like he trying to move on.' She thought and smiled.
18 glanced over to Trunks too, surprised that he defended her again. This is the second time he said that she and 17 were innocent. The Cyborg felt glad at the thought but kept her emotions in check as she remembered Trunks talking about others who came to this planet.
Tarble put his hands under his head and sighed. "I have heard that the namekians are capable of making magic orbs that grant wishes." He said remembering.
Bulma interjected. "I know it's hard to believe, but trust us they haven't done a thing since this whole year, you have to believe us." She begged.
Tarble closed his eyes and sighed. "Regardless of what I want to believe, It cannot deny what is true." He said looking to 18 and the damaged 16. "Attacking you and your companions was wrong and I shouldn't have tried to kill you without finding out the truth."
18 sees that this is his way of apologizing, this wasn't something she expected from him. The Android simply nodded in understanding.
Trunks turned to him. "Listen Tarble, there were two others who came here not too long ago." He began. "Both of them seemed to have known about 17 and 18, can you tell us who they are and what they want?" He asked.
Tarble nodded and spoke. "I had been tracking them for a while now, making sure they couldn't find me so I could take them by surprise." He explained. "Those two were high ranking soldiers in the new planet trade organization."
Bulma had a thought. "Wait I remember, Vegeta told me that was the name of Frieza's empire."
The full blooded Saiyan nodded. "Correct, after the death of Frieza and his family, the remnants of the Cold empire was at a disarray, soldiers kept killing one another waning the throne for themselves." He spoke. "At first I think it was a duo by the names of Abo and Kado, the brothers who ranked alongside the Ginyu force. At first they were reorganizing the empire, spreading fear and letting everyone know that they were in charge."
Trunks began to talk. "So now what's left of Frieza's empire is being run by his two top henchmen?" He asked.
Tarble shook his head. "For a while yes but I heard someone much stronger came and beat the brothers down." He began. "I don't even now who he is, what I do know is that he came with a new weapon for the empire."
Bulma's eyes widened with realization. "Oh wait a second." She said as she got up and went to her lab table. The others looked at her with raised eyebrows except for Trunks and 16. She brought out the silver wristband she got from 16. "You mean this?" She asked.
Tarble nodded. "Yes, somehow those wristbands are able to make even the weakest of warriors as powerful or even more so than Frieza himself." He stated.
Trunks' eyes widened. "Wait so your telling me that there's a whole army of guys stronger than Frieza?" He asked with widened eyes.
Tarble shook his head. "No not quite, the majority of their army only gain as much power as say the Ginyu force, as the ranks move up they seem to gain more power from their wristbands, you can sense energy I'm sure you can tell something strange about them."
Trunks nodded. "Yeah they felt similar even though they were obviously come from a different species from the other."
Vegeta's brother nodded. "Yes whatever their power source is, they seem to have it in abundance." He said closing his eyes. "I remember when they came to the planet I called home, you see I was born with a rather disgraceful power level and distaste for violence like my brother or any other Saiyans." He began. "My father tried training me but he ended up sending me to another planet."

15 years ago
Planet Tech-Tech is a remote planet that is being under attack by five powerful soldiers. Tarble looked across him to see three soldiers blocking his way to the space pods he had for him and Gure. This squad of warriors came out of nowhere, Tarble tried to fight them off but was no match for them. He glared at three of them in front of them. Tarble looked to see the city on fire and glared at them.
One of the soldiers stepped forward. "Hey look boys he has a tail, I think we just found a Saiyan." The others chuckled in response.
Tarble ignored that comment. "Why, why are you attacking us!?" He demanded to know.
The three of them laughed at this and one stepped forward and pointed to a silver wristband on his right arm. "Why this is only a little experiment, try not to hold it against us but we want to be sure that these are safe to use." He said laughing.
Tarble looked to his wife. "Gure I'm going to distract them, you leave and try to find my brother." He said to her, Gure was going to object but Tarble flew right at them.
The wrist band on the soldier glowed and easily knocked Tarble down with a vicious right hook. He then grabbed his tail and gave it a squeeze causing him to scream. "Hey boys you think we should bring this one to the boss?"
Tarble closed his eyes in pain, the way he always did when father had him spar with his older brother. Only that he never had his tail squeezed, he never quite trained himself to resist the common weakness with Saiyans.
One soldier replied to his comrade. "Pff as if he would want this weakling, just kill him with the rest of the weaklings on this mud ball."
The solider shrugged his shoulders and swung his arm up holding the tail and swung it down slamming the Saiyan into the ground. "Yeah, I just thought he might be interested, oh well I'll at least have some fun with him." He said laughing as he repeatedly swung him up and down over and over again.
Tarble was in intense pain but didn't care, Gure was safely getting help, hopefully she'll locate Vegeta. 'I only hope she get's here in time to save everyone else.' He thought of the friends he made during his time here on Tech-Tech.
"Stop it!"
Tarble's eyes widened with fear as he looked to see Gure grabbing the arm of the merciless soldier. "Gure I told you to run!"
Gure didn't listen. "Please stop." The alien begged.
The soldier growled as if he was infected b her touch. "Disgusting creature." He said swinging his left arm at her, making a sickening cracking noise.
Tarble's eyes widened as he watched Gure's body hit the rock, he wanted to hope that Gure was alright but it was unlikely.
The soldier laughed at the Saiyan's look. "What you actually cared for that thing?" He said laughing along with his comrades. "Oh man, your really too much, who knew a Saiyan would care for such disgusting looking creatures." He said laughing.
Tarble didn't listen as he looked to Gure's corpse, he thought of what happened when he came to this planet. At first the people didn't trust him, until Gure showed that she welcomed him with open arms. Although no doubt the other Saiyans would consider him odd for picking someone from a species that is entirely different question him for it, but he didn't care. Gure cared for him and he cared for her. But he couldn't protect her, he felt an unnatural rage fill him.
The soldier continued the process of smashing Tarble into the ground over and over again, laughing it up. "Oh man here I thought you'd fight back.")
The Saiyan was then spun as the cruel soldier twirled him by his tail much to the enjoyment of his fellow soldiers as they laughed as he was tortured. The invader then threw the Saiyan to crash against some rubble, he laughed as he slowly walked to him.
"Come on already just kill the monkey so we can move on." A soldier said.
Another one shushed him. "You want the boss to hear you using that word?"
"How can he?" He asked.
"The scouters, how else you idiot?"
"Oh right, well just hurry and finish him already." He said to him.
"Alright alright." The invader who tortured Tarble said aiming his hand to him. "Any begging might do you some good."
Tarble looked down as he stood on one knee, he looked to his right to see Gure's corpse, he looked around to see the corpses of the people he sworn to protect. Tears started falling down his eyes as his rage grew, some of these people were his friends who treated him better than his own father did. He looked to the soldier with fury in his eyes. "I will destroy you all!" He yelled in rage as a thunder storm appeared above them.
The soldiers laughed as the one who killed Gure had a yellow energy ball in his hand. "Bye!" He yelled unleashing the energy blast at the short Saiyan. They all laughed at his final empty threat. "Alright boys let's move on." He said turning around only for his scouter to pick up something. "Huh?" He turned around to see nothing but a cloud of dust. "It couldn't be."
A familiar voice with an unfamiliar savage tone was heard. "Drop dead."
The soldier felt a sudden amount of pain in his stomach, he looked down to see a fist lodged threw his stomach.
The other soldiers looked to their comrade. One asked. "Hey, pal you alright?" There was no answer until they saw a gloved hand come from the other side of his stomach.) The men gave gasps at this, they then saw the fist pull back and their comrade fell to the ground and then they saw him. The 'weak' Saiyan only with drastic changes. His hair was spikier, golden, the pupils eyes were emerald green and his demeanor was obviously different and harsher.
Tarble looked down at the corpse of his foe then moved his eyes on to the rest of the soldiers around him. The Saiyan looked at his hands and clenched them into fists. The warrior felt different, a huge reservoir of energy filled him. Also he felt white hot rage as he glared back to the men who attacked his home. He doesn't know how this happened or what happened but that didn't matter, he must protect Tech-Tech at all costs. "This is the end of you monsters!" He yelled as his golden aura flared.
The soldiers were scared, they thought now that their powers rivaled the infamous Ginyu force they would be unstoppable to most. But they were all getting the same power level from him and it was much higher then what they imagined. They all blasted energy blasts at him hoping to destroy him, surely this Saiyan couldn't take them all at once.
They were wrong.
The smoke cleared as the men stopped firing, they see that Tarble is still standing unharmed. They all took a step back.
Tarble looked at the cowards in shame and aimed his palm towards them. "My turn." He said menacingly, as he unleashed a golden energy sphere at them and detonating on one soldier and killing them all at once. The Saiyan then looked at what he'd done, he looked at the hand that went through his first victim's stomach covered in blood. This was the first time Tarble had to kill. Also killing these men felt natural, like he'd done it before. But he never did, how could he feel natural with killing. He looked at his hands and down to see he had a golden aura surrounding him. "A-am I the Super Saiyan of legend?" He asked himself in disbelief. That couldn't be, he always thought that it was a myth, and if it was real it would be his brother who'd be the legend not him, he's a disgrace to the royal family. The Super Saiyan then felt a hard pain on his back as an explosion overtook the area around him.
Two more powerful soldiers stood over a building, one with a hand aimed at the Super Saiyan. Angol and Moah, both laughed as they killed one of the so called Super Saiyans. The two then flew off leaving him for dead and continued Tech-Tech's genocide.
Tarble has awoken from his unconscious state and pushed some rubble off of him. The Saiyan held his head which was in intense pain. He tried to remember what happened, first he was realizing that he became the Super Saiyan and the next minute nothing. His eyes widened with realization, if he was the Legendary Super Saiyan than that means he can save everyone, but then he realized that he was knocked out, for how long? Tarble began to walk only to trip and land on his face against some rubble. He got up and rubbed his face wondering what just happened, he then noticed something he couldn't feel his tail. He turned his head to see that his tail was gone, his eyes widened again. 'It must have gotten blasted off, and now I'm having trouble walking.' He closed his eyes in shame thinking what his brother would do to him if he ever found out that he lost his tail, he shook his head. 'Now's not the time I have to save this planet, Gure watch over me.' He thought as he tried to stand up and look around him.
Lifeless, the once great capital of Tech-Tech was empty, he was sure of it. The Saiyan shook his head and tried his best to walk without tripping over. He looked down to see the corpse of the first soldier he killed, he sees that the scouter is still attached and his wasn't functioning. Tarble bent down and grabbed the more advanced scouter and removed his own older model and let it hit the dirt. He placed the scouter and pressed the button. His eyes widened at what he saw on the glass, it had planet Tech-Tech's name and said completed.
Tarble began to worry. "No, how long was I out?" He asked himself outloud, he pressed the button on his scouter hoping that it wasn't indicaing what he thought. He shed tears of sadness at what he saw.
No other life signals, planet Tech-Tech has been cleared.
Tarble shook his head and landed on his knees and grabbed the dirt under him. He roared a cry of anger and despair wanting this to be but a bad dream. It wasn't, it was all real. He had lost his wife, his friends on this planet. The Saiyan stood up again roaring to the skies as he transformed again into his Super Saiyan state. He looked down at his hands. "What good is this power if I can't even protect anyone with it?!"
Tarble vowed vengeance against the invaders and did his best to move using the scouter to locate any space pods nearby, surely the ones that belonged to the soldiers were still around. He had found what he was looking for and forced it open due to not having voice commands. He then hacked into the ship's data, looking for any information at all, he has to find his brother at all costs. He realizes that even though he's a Super Saiyan he cannot win alone, he knows his brother is still alive he just has to be.
The ship had all kinds of information, such as the power wristbands that the soldiers had, now he knows how there were so many men who's power equaled or surpassed the Ginyu Force. Hopefully this ship had information on his brother, he sees something he wishes he did not.
A video of his brother showed on the screen, he was fighting a black haired human male. His brother had blonde spikey hair showing that he too had become a Super Saiyan, he knew that if he can achieve it so can Vegeta, unfrortunately the video ends with Vegeta dead after taking a fatal energy blast. Tarble's eyes widened, his older brother was dead too. He sees that the video's not over and another boy waking up from after seemingly knocked out. He too transformed into the warrior of legend and attacked a female next to the other.
The boy is down with only a few hits from the female. Tarble get's out of the pod before he can see how it ends. His wife, his planet, and now his older brother. All of them are dead, he felt so alone.
"RAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Tarble becomes a Super Saiyan again out of rage and blasts random energy blasts knowing that there's no longer any life on this planet. After using up so much energy he falls to his knees and slams his fists against the ground creating a huge crater making the pod jump from the impact. Everyone he cares for is dead, no friends, no family, all of them dead. He did what he did when he was alone and failed to earn his father's approval, he curled himself into a ball whimpering like a child.
This continued for hours until he heard a rough discipline voice. "So even in death you show disgrace."
Tarble knew that voice, he looked up to see two people he knew very well. His father King Vegeta, and his older brother Prince Vegeta wearing the armor he wore in his battle with the young man. "Father, brother."
Prince Vegeta was the firs to speak. "Hmph, look at you, even as a Super Saiyan you cry like an infant, no wonder father sent you away." He said in the harsh tone he always had.
King Vegeta spoke next. "Yes, you clearly still do not have a warrior's heart."
Tarble said nothing only bowed to his father and brother. "I-I'm sorry, I'm just too weak, If I was stronger I would-"
"Avenge me?" Prince Vegeta asked. "Please, did you think I was invincible just because I was a Super Saiyan?"
Tarble began to speak. "I-"
King Vegeta cut him off. "If a Super Saiyan can be defeated then there must be more to the legend than we Saiyans believed, first learn about your enemy then learn of your enemies, then learn of your transformation, we both know if your brother was granted time he could have achieved something greater, and if he can so can you."
Tarble's eyes widened, he knew these were only figments of his imagination, but he still couldn't believe where they were going with this. "You think I can grow stronger than Vegeta father?"
Both father and son spoke. "No"
Tarble was not surprised putting his head down.
"You can be greater."
The younger prince looked up to see nothing, neither his father or brother were here. Tarble shook his head knowing he had only imagined it, but perhaps there is more to the legend than he had thought. 'If there is I must find it.' But first he remembered what his father had taught and reminded him. 'First learn about your enemies.' The Saiyan picked himself up and walked up to the pod, it didn't seemed damaged from his earlier outburst. The Saiyan opened the pod and hacked into whatever information he can find. He finds out that the duo were androids and their power levels along with Vegeta's and the other young Super Saiyan who seemed to be a half breed. But he has no resemblance to Vegteta, he will investigate this later. However no matter what he did he found no information on who was in charge, hopefully he can find out soon.
He compares their power levels with his own and sadly realizes that he'd be no match for them or even the younger Super Saiyan. "I will find a way, I will avenge you brother, but not now." He said knowing combating them would be nothing short of suicide. He goes to the pod and leaves the empty planet Tech-Tech. Tarble went from planet to planet in search of a perfect training ground for him. After searching he comes across planet Vala, a desolate planet with 500x Tech-Tech's gravity and 50x earth's gravity. A perfect place for him.
Over the next few years he would train to utilize his Super Saiyan state, he would leave the planet only to collect food supplies or possibly to fight against the new Planet Trade Organization soldiers that were near by, used for tests of his power. After 4 years of intense training he finally learned to use the transformation willingly and withstand this planet's gravity in his base form.6 more he surpassed his brother when he battled the Androids, 4 more and scratched the surface of what he needed. He achieved the transformation he needed, he just had to be able to use it in battle. The last one had been used to getting used to the transformation, decreasing the strain it had on his muscles, then he became sure that it was what he needed.
Tarble looked at his scouter to listen for anymore planet Trade activity to find out that they were sending scouts to earth. A smirk appeared on his lips. "Now I can avenge my brother, Gure, the people of Tech-Tech, and the earthlings at the same time." He said proud of his new transformation and frowned. "I'm sorry it took so long, but now I'm ready." He said walking to the pod and looking back at the planet Vala, he spent 15 years here and he was going to leave for good. "Good bye." He said entering the pod. "Next stop, Earth."
And so the pod left the planet heading to it's destination, after years of waiting he will finally have fulfilled his vengeance. 'Gure, Vegeta, father...watch me.'
And we'll that's it, Tarble's story changed into something extremely more tragic. You see Tarble's planet was attacked a few years earlier than it was in the special, and it wasn't by Ado and Kado. Also the new leader keeps his identity a secret for reasons that will be explained later on. I hope you guys are craving for more, I try to cause some suspense when I can. I will try to update more regularly, again I hope you can forgive me for the huge delay, I will finish this story, I swear it.
Now I will explain why Tarble chose to train rather than go to earth right when he found out about the Androids. You see in the special from what we can tell Tarble idolizes his older brother, so the fact that he was a Super Saiyan might make him believe that Vegeta was invincible, however if he were to see him die than he would see that Super Saiyans weren't invincible, if his brother couldn't beat the Androids as a Super Saiyan than neither could he in his mind at least. So that could motivate him to find a state beyond a Super Saiyan. But not before considering giving up on everything, forcing him to imagine his older brother and father inspiring him to get stronger. I thought it would be nice to do a scene similar to when Goku imagined Vegeta, Bardock, and King Vegeta insipiring him to beat Frieza. Or maybe he wasn't imagining them, not sure.
Some of you may notice that Tarble sees a video of 17 killing Vegeta, but in the previous chapter he clearly wasn't sure which Android killed Vegeta. I assure you this was no mistake, it will be explained later, on, perhaps in the next chapter.
Well that is my reasoning, let me know in the reviews if it was reasonable or let me know if it was bullshit, but please say why it is.
Ok now for my awesome reviewers.
anonymous- I'm glad I was able to clear that up for you, I don't think I'm we'll suited with explanations or maybe DBZ is just that confusing. I'll go with both. By the way, maybe you should get an account, I try to update weekly but sometimes things get in my way or I get distracted so you know when I update this and not have to come back to look over and over. Anyway I hope this was soon enough. :)
Lazer355- How'd you like it? Let me know if you thought it was rushed or not.
shadowwriter01- Well here's the explanation, how was it?
The reason I believe Tarble would attack 16 was because he didn't know everything about the Androids. He just assumed that he was just as bad since he was a machine. Also he had no idea that 17 or 18 were cyborgs, so he went ahead and attacked 16 knowing nothing except about the fact that he was an android and thought that he was just as bad as the ones who killed his brother and countless people.
We PM'd about this already but again I had no idea that Goten and Trunks were that...weak, I always thought they were ATLEAST as strong as Goku when he fought Frieza. I really should start rereading the manga, I don't think I remember too much, but anyway thanks for pointing that out, this could help.
