The sky rumbled as I blitzed through the sky and appeared crouched in front of #17 with the Power Pole held back, the Android barely able to glance down right before his head snapped back as I swung up and sent him rocketing through the clouds like a meteor.

I didn't leave #18 standing in shock for too long as a clone shot from my side and raced towards her, the Android quickly jumping up and falling for the bait as I appeared behind her and booted her after her brother.

With a grin, I watched as #17 quickly moved out of the way before blasting upwards, spinning the Power Pole into a javelin grip before throwing it at #18 and rushing towards #17 as the Android spun around to face me.

He quickly raced his arms in a cross-guard but I punched right through it and into his jaw, greedily drinking in his dazed eyes and the blood bursting from his nose as his jaw audibly snapped loose before I spun and threw him towards the ground.

I didn't give the Android any time to gather his bearings as I rocketed down past him and spun around right as he fell besides me, a wheeze escaping his lips as I delivered an uppercut to his upper body so hard that I could feel his chest caving in right before I let the Android fall to the ground with a glare.

I wanted to chase after him, but feeling the wind above my head shifting, I spun and caught the Power Pole that #18 tried to bring down onto my head, the Android having a hateful rage in her eyes as she struggled to push it down.

I grinned as I slowly pulled her down while staring directly into her eyes, enjoying the fear hidden behind the anger in her eyes as she let go of the pole to try and punch me, but I tanked it with a smile while her hand shook as I saw her wrist snap the moment she made contact.

Pulling my head back, I savoured how her eyes widened before smacking our skulls against each other, the headbutt not even affecting me while making her pupils shrink to the size of pin pricks right before they dilated in severe pain as I threw the Power Pole up and slammed a fist deep into her chest.

Instead of letting her fall, though, I grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back up to be eye level with me, the Power Pole slowly floating down towards me and shrinking back to its miniature size as I placed it back in my ear with nothing but mere telekinesis

Letting go of her hair and grabbing her by the throat, ki flooded to my limb as it shot out from my stump, #18's eyes blearily looking at the ki arm I had created.

'For Krillin.' The next moment, a silent gasp escaped her lips as I slowly pulled my arm out of her chest while spittle and blood flew from her lips and fell to the ground.

'For Tien.' Another had her coughing up purely blood, her breathing ragged and my own growing heavier with glee as I delivered punch after punch, my lust for revenge making me feel ecstatic with each punch as I pulled my fist out.

'For Yamcha.' Another made her body go into shock before I tightened my grip around her neck to choke her out, waiting until her face was nearly blue before I let her fall with a grin right as #17 tried to tackle me from behind.

'For Chiaotzu.' I easily flipped over his attack while placing my ki hand on his back, a soft chant escaping my lips as an azure glow emanated from my ki hand.

"Kamehameha." I didn't even try to speak out the words as I unleashed the one-handed Kamehameha-Wave, the Android's eyes widening as the beam pushed him towards the ground before he smashed into it with the force of a meteor

I snuffed it out before it could kill him though and floated down towards them, catching sight of #18 trying to crawl towards #17's unconscious form right before she looked up in horror as I landed in between them while crouching down to look her dead in the eye.

"How does it feel, #18? To watch someone you love be destroyed in front of your gaze and there's nothing you can do about but watch? Did you honestly believe that I of all people would just let you two go? Did you believe that I would just beat you up and then let you go live out your lives?" I asked as my ki wrapped around her and slowly pulled her into the air with a telekinetic grip while turning her sideways, her eyes widening as I spun and landed a heel kick to her chest that made the sound of her spine snapping echo across the landscape.

I didn't let her scream as I kept her mouth close, amused at her defying glare while I slowly spun her around to face me.

"You're not going to die, #18. Not yet. You see, I have 13 years of pain to work through right now and unfortunately for you, you're more durable than your brother. So, remember that each of these next hits are for Piccolo." With a grunt, her eyes widened in pain and a stifled scream was heard from her mouth as I punched and snapped a rib, pulling my fist back before another punch to her right forearm snapped the bones in it.

Bouncing on the balls of my feet, a small part of me felt sick to my stomach at what I was doing, but at the same time, most of me felt elated at the fact that I was finally getting the Androids back, leaping into the air before landing a vicious kick to her shoulder that nearly ripped the arm off.

Looking up at the pained and pleading look in her eyes, I felt bad right before I smiled and delivered another punch to her chest, finally letting go of her mouth with my telekinetic grip right as a shrill scream erupted from her lips.

"Keep singing, #18, because until your brother wakes up, you're going to be my toy."


"You know, I could never understand why people liked to kill each other."

BOOM

"I mean, once you've taken a life, you have to live with the fear of knowing that one day, someone is going to take your life in revenge and that just creates a constant cycle where someone is always in fear of having their life be taken away by others."

BOOM

"The saying 'You reap what you sow' fits perfectly here, but why does it always have to be used in a negative connotation? Can't it be positive for once?"

BOOM

"Then, there is fear. Every human that kills will feel that fear of someone coming to take their life for the rest of their existence and for what? To satisfy a temporary need for dominance?"

BOOM

"Heh, not that I can talk about stuff like that when I'm doing the exact same thing. Speaking of fear, how is your first experience with the emotion?" I asked with a smile as I looked at the floating forms of #17 and #18, not surprised to see their breathing haggard and raspy as we've been getting well-acquainted for the past day.

Shaking the blood from my knuckles, I wiped the blood from my physical arm off while my ki arm sunk back into my body, rolling my neck as I let both of their bodies drop while crouching besides them.

"Hah, I thank you two for letting me work out thirteen years of frustration, but when you stop screaming, it gets really boring. So, here's what I'm going to do. #18, you're going to pick. It's either you die…or your brother dies. Like I said, your pick." I spoke with a sadistic smile as I watched the Androids looking at me in shock, #17 turning to speak to #18 right before his eyes widened at the determined look in her eyes.

"I pick me."

"#18! You bitch! I swear I'll kill you if it's the last thing I d-!"

"At least face your death with some honour." His body was erased with a ki blast before he could even finish his sentence, my gaze not wavering a single second from #18's form as I watched her try and breathe in the puddle of blood below her before her eyes widened as I floated up onto her knees to be eye level with me.

"So, what do you think is going to happen now?" I asked as I held her by the chin, the Android glaring at me before I simply gave her a deadpan stare as she spat out a glob of blood at my face.

The spit was evaporated before it could even touch me, letting out a soft sigh as I reached up and wiped the spit from her lips while giving her a piercing stare.

"Do your worst."

"My worst is something that would have you scarred for the remainder of your life if I left you alive, #18. Are you certain you wish for that?" I asked while pulling her closer, watching as her defiant gaze shirked back the moment I let a flash of blood lust shone in my eyes, shaking my head as she looked down at the ground.

"I…I don't know what's going to happen."

"Well, let me explain your options right now. Either you die right here along with your brother and I go about restoring the planet along with the others, which I'm guessing is something you wouldn't want, yes?"

"What is my second option?" She asked, not even entertaining the thought of the first and that made me chuckle as I nodded and stood up, smiling at her curious gaze before her eyes widened as my eyes glowed the moment I sent ki to them.

"There is no second one. Bye." Before she could speak, ki shot from my eyes and right through hers, melting them in their sockets and blasting out the back of her head before I dismissed the blast and watched her corpse fall over to the floor with a scoff.

Oh, there was a second option, but the second option was a thought so vile I couldn't even bring myself to act upon.

Me beating them up was me forcing myself to not act upon the second option when I had #18 all to myself because while most of me wanted to do it, to show her what it truly meant to scar someone in mind, body and spirit, I…

I couldn't let the last bit of good left in me be destroyed by my rash actions.

As I deactivated the transformation that was Super Saiyan 4, my entire body began to tremble as the anger sunk away and was replaced by staggering guilt of what I did and what I wanted to do, taking deep breaths as I floated up into the air while gathering ki to my hand.

Picking her up with a telekinetic grip as well, I floated up high and letting it go even higher, compressing the ki orb in my grasp as small as it could go before throwing it up at #18's corpse.

The next moment, I clenched my fist and the orb expanded out tremendously, the blast obscuring and dyeing the sky in a golden light as the body was disintegrated and reduced to atoms.

Looking back down at the island where I had fought the Androids, I gathered another bit of ki in my grasp before flicking it down, watching as it sunk into the island and flew away right as the entire island was eradicated by a pillar of energy.

Now, time to shout at Trunks.


Unlike before where it took me a couple of minutes to reach the base, I was landing outside of it before even a minute could pass, a bit surprised at my own base speed as I rolled my shoulders before making my way towards where I last remember the entrance being.

As soon as I took my first step towards it, though, I was surprised not just at the turrets shooting up from their hatches again but also by the missiles locking onto me, a bit amazed at the fact that they were able to reload them all early before looking forward just as the weapons shut down the moment Bulma peeked out from the large hatch that opened up right in front of me.

"Goha-Holy shit, you got big!" Bulma exclaimed and I blinked at her words before looking down at my body with a frown, knowing that I had put on a bit of muscle during my time in the Chamber.

'Was it that much, though?'

"Come on, in. System, go back to scanner mode." She called out while climbing down and I watched as the weapons all sunk back into their hatches before shaking my head & leaping down.

However, it was as I landed and the hatch closed up above us that I finally noticed how much bigger the interior was as well as the numerous robotic lifeforms on wheels racing to and fro past us, making me blink as some of them were carrying cups of dirt and/ or seeds while others were carrying around plates and uncooked food.

"Uh, Bulma? I was gone for a day, right?" I asked while turning to the woman, who giggled and nodded as she gestured for me to follow while walking down the hallway.

"Yes, you were. After I reprogrammed that Cell thing in just an hour, I got bored so I took out the few droids that I have left and I may have mass-produced a droid army that's been busy with repairing the lab, expanding it outwards and attending to everyone's needs."

"Speaking of everyone, has Trunks and Yajirobe arrived?" I asked and shook my head as she let out a frustrated sigh while pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Yes and I'm still pissed at both of them, Trunks for believing that he can even take on the Androids and Yajirobe for not stopping him when he's the only one capable of doing so."

"Don't blame Yajirobe so much for it. The guy wouldn't be able to stop Trunks if he wanted to leave."

"I know, I know. It's just…urgh! Sometimes, the idiot reminds me of his father so much it irritates me." She groaned and I smiled in amusement as I remembered how irritating the Prince of All Saiyans could get, shaking my head while patting her on the shoulder before looking forward as we stopped in front of a pair of double doors.

Bulma quickly typed in a code on the touch pad to the side and they slid open to reveal a cafeteria room of sorts, Mom already busy in the kitchen along with the other droids while Trunks, Yajirobe and Gramps sat at the tables.

However, it was the new additions to the group that surprised the shit out of me, the black-haired woman's sharp gaze instantly snapping to me and making her black hair that were styled in some kind of bob-cut whip through the air while the blonde-haired blue-eyed woman next to her gave me an appraising look and a happy smile as she waved.

"Hi~ You must be the Gohan we've heard so much about. I'm Erasa and this is my friend Videl. Videl, say hi~"

'…Holy shit, they're resilient people if they survived up until now. Also, older Videl is hot.' I could definitely see what my old self saw in her as Videl stood up, revealing herself to be dressed in a pair of spandex shorts with a tank top above it that showed off her slender yet athletic physique.

Erasa was dressed the same as well, but her tank top was a light green compared to Videl's white tank top and she was also wearing a pair of baggy jeans, her blonde hair having been styled into a low bun that sat at the base of her neck.

"So, you're the guy that everyone around here is depending on so much? Gotta say, I don't see the appeal." She spoke and in response, I simply raised an eyebrow at her words.

"Can't see why I would need to show you how strong I am. Besides, I just killed off the Androids so I'm tired right now."

"Wait, what?" Gramps asked in the back with a shocked look, the others looking just as shocked as Videl froze on the spot while I smiled and walked over to where Mom had been busy with scooping out a bowl of curry right before hearing my words.

"Oh, right, forgot to tell you guys. Yeah, the Androids are gone. I just killed them. Oh, Mom, could you add more curry to this, please?" I asked and gave her a thankful smile as she did as I asked in a robotic motion, taking my plate and sitting down next to Gramps before taking my first bite right as Mt. Bulma exploded.

"What the fuck do you mean you killed the Androids?!" She exclaimed and I sighed as that knocked everyone from their shock and unleashed a flurry of questions.

'Oh, I should have kept my mouth shut.'

A/N: Gohan is back, done with the Androids, and now we're all stumped on what to do…me included.

Should we go to Namek or do we stay & try to build up Earth as it is? Who knows, let's find out next time of Dragon Ball: One-Armed Titan.

P.S. that first part of Gohan going full rage mode, yeah, that was just me venting some steam and to make it clear, he was going to R-word her before I stopped myself from doing so because I couldn't cross that line no matter how much I tried.

It's still a big line for me to cross so I'm staying away from it for now.

Another thing: Gohan trained for an entire year straight in just mastering his forms and mastering his control over ki so there was no way he was going to struggle against two Androids that were just throwing their power around. Just to make it clear before someone gets pissed at me.
