Chapter 21

Vegeta smirked as another unfortunate human bump into his ki barrier (which he had made right after entering the city and having grown tired of people bumping into him). While he could understand while most avoided his traveling partner that still gave them no right not to watch where they're going.

They're lucky I'm in a hurry. thought Vegeta as he and Piccolo continued on their way.

CAPSULE CORP.

Finally, we made it thought Bulma as she and Killen touch down and Capsule Corp. Entering the building the two found the others glued to the T.V.; looking at the screen, Krillen was able to see a group of teen taking on another teen who didn't appear to be fighting back. Getting a better look at the teen, Krillen was able to see just who it was.

“Gohan??!”

“What's going on?” ask Bulma also recognizing Gohan.

“We were going to as you the same question.” Answered 18.

“All we know is that Gohan and the others felt the Crane Gang and went to go check it out while we came here.” Answered

“So I guess you don't know where Vegeta and Piccolo are, because it sure looks like Gohan could use their help.”

“FORGET ABOUT VEGETA AND PICCOLO, WE NEED TO GET GOING NOW!!!” scream Videl no longer able to watch the beating she saw on t.v.

“Videl calm down-

“NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN, GOHAN GETTING HIS SELF KILL AND THE ONLY THING YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT IS WHERE VEGETA AND PICCOLO IS, WELL IF YOU WON'T HELP HIM THEN I WILL.” Shouted Videl.

“And what exactly are you going to do, from what I understand you can't fly, or use any type of ki, nor can you move as fast as we've seen these guys move, think about it Videl what could you possible do that would help Gohan in this situation?” ask 18

Nothing, I can't do anything besides making the situation worst. thought Videl finally calming down...somewhat.

“But what about you guys, you're strong, why aren't you helping.”

“Videl, tell me how many time throughout this fight have you seen Gohan defend his self.”

“I......I haven't.”

“That's right so far he's done nothing but stand there and get beaten and I don't know if you know this but out of all of us Gohan is the strongest, and if they have sometime that could stop him from fighting-

“Then you guys wouldn't be able to fight them either.” Answer Videl finally catching on.

“Don't worry Videl, trust me I've seen Gohan in worst situations than this and I wouldn't count him out yet.” Said Krillen

At least I hope not thought Krillen.

B-

I don't understand, how could Gohan still be standing, surely he can't possible be that strong. thought Troy. So far Tom, Jason, and Lee had given him everything they had even trying a few of their blasts, and aside from a few scratches and his clothes being torn, Troy was certain that if Gohan was to decide fight those three now, he could still possible beat them.

Well Gohan, you're stronger than I thought you were, no matter, you're still not strong enough to beat me. thought Troy.

“I-I don't believe it, he's still getting up.” Stuttered Tom

“Yeah, I thought we were suppose to be stronger than Gohan, that blast should have put him out of commission.

“Well it clear that you three are still to weak to finish the job, stand back and let us show you how it done.” Said James as he and Zane made their way to Gohan.

Well, it's look like I survive round one, though judging from their power levels round two might not end in my favor. I just hope I can hang on till help arrive. thought Gohan as he brace his self.

And just like that, James and Zane began their attack and Gohan could definitely tell that these two were much stronger than the other three, noting painfully that James hits cause more damaged than Zane.

Well there's no question as to who these two got their powers from. thought Gohan as he slowly got up from their attack much to their delight.

I just hope I can hang on until Vegeta and Piccolo arrive. thought Gohan as their next attack sent him flying pass Troy only to crash until into a large truck causing it to explode.

YES, soon Gohan you will know how it feels to be humiliated. thought Troy.

XXXXXXXXXXX

This is ridiculous by the time we get there, the whole damn thing will be over with, and judging from what I'm sensing Gohan will be dead.

“You got a point there.” Answered Piccolo.

“STAY OUT OF MY MIND NAMECK!!!!” shouted Vegeta.

“Calm down, I'm only agreeing with you. We do need to find a faster way to get there.”

“Well I don't know about you, but it looks like I've found my way.” Smirked Vegeta seeing a red viper. Not wasting any time he quickly broke the window and unlock the door, and in no time disarm the car alarm.

He can't possible be doing what I think he is. thought Piccolo. But Piccolo quickly toss that thought away after seeing Vegeta hotwiring the car.

“Get in nameck I don't have all day.”

“I'm not even going to ask how you know how to do that.” Said Piccolo as he got in.

“Your lost.” Smirked Vegeta as they took off in the car.

I just hope he's a better driver than Goku. thought Piccolo as he quickly put on his seat belt.

B-

Meanwhile

Troy laugh as Gohan barely got up from another one of Jame and Zane attack. So far Gohan power and steadily been dropping since the two of them had begun their attack.

“That's enough......I'll handle it for here.” Smirked Troy.

“Whatever you say.” Said James as he and Zane back off.

“Well I hope you've enjoyed your life Gohan, because it's all going to be over soon.”

“If you're going to kill me do it, just don't talk me to death with your dumb ass line.” Said Gohan as he coughed up some blood.

“As you wish.” Growled Troy as he grabbed Gohan legs quickly throwing him into the air. Not wasting any time he appearing right in front of Gohan kicking back to the ground following it with multiple blast attacks right where Gohan hit the ground.

Soon it will all be over. thought Troy.

B-

I don't get it, how do he know where I am. thought Dr. Frank as he dove into a alley dodging another of Tyson blast. The doctor was quickly thrown to the back of the alley after being hit by a second blast he had not saw heading his way.

“You know for a doctor you aren't acting like one. Don't you remember? After all it was you who gave me this power or have you forgotten that the DNA you combine with my blood allows me to read minds. Doesn't matter because soon you'll be nothing more than a memory.” Smirked Tyson as he shot a blast directly at the doctor. Surprisingly the doctor was able to dodge the blast, which made a hole at the end of the alley allowing the doctor to escape.

“Dammit.” Shouted Tyson as he quickly went after the doctor.

B-

THIRTY MINUTES LATER

“Vegeta, we wont be any good to Gohan if you kill us before we even get there.” Shouted Piccolo as they flew down the road. So far they had gotten over halfway through the city and the two could tell they were getting close with all the blasts and rumbling they were now feeling. It was a welcoming comfort than having to watch Vegeta dodge cars on the wrong side of the rode trying to get out of the city.

“Quit your whining nameck, you act as if crashing in this piece of junk would actually kill us.” Smirked Vegeta

With the way that you're driving it will thought Piccolo as he look ahead suddenly seeing a man in a doctor uniform run to the middle of the street.

“LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!”

“Shit!!!” said Vegeta seeing that they didn't time to dodge him. But to both of their surprise the doctor jump over of the car just in time for the two of them to see a ki blast heading their way. The two of them got out just as the car exploded.

Damn, where in hell did that car come from. thought Tyson looking for the Doctor.

“Hey; weakling.”

Tyson turn around just in time to see a glove hand smash into his face. Doing a flip in the air, Vegeta kick Tyson to the ground effectively knocking him out.

“That's what happen when you mess with the Prince of all Sayjins”

Now's my chance to escape. thought Dr. Frank seeing Tyson down. Turning around he came face to face with none other than Piccolo.

“Going somewhere doctor?”

Dr. Frank went to run for it, but Piccolo quickly touched his pressure point knocking him out. Piccolo went to pick him put till he felt and huge power drop from Gohan.

“Come on nameck, something wrong, we'll come back for these two later. It's not like they're going anywhere.” Said Vegeta as he flew off with Piccolo following suit.

CAPSULE CORP.

WORLD WIDE NEWS

“IT'S SEEMS SOMETHING HAS HAPPEN TO THE GOLD FIGHTER, IT LOOKS FROM HERE THAT'S HE CHANGE SOMEHOW; WE ARE NOW TRYING TO GET A CLOSE UP ON THE GOLD FIGHTER.”

Man this isn't good. thought Krillen and the others as they continue to look at the screen. Luckily though, Troy attacks continue to block the camera men from getting a clear shot of the gold fighter. The group cheered though when Vegeta and Piccolo finally made it to the scene, until Piccolo blew up the cameras.

“SORRY FOLKS, BUT WE'RE HAVING TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH OUR EQUIPMENT, BUT NOT TO WORRY, WE HAVE ANOTHER CREW ON THEIR WAY AND WILL HAVE EVERYTHING SORTED OUT SOON.”

“Well at least not we know that they're there, let just hope that they can stop them.” Stated Bulma

B-

Damn, it feels like all the bone in my body are broken, I can barely move. thought Gohan

“Well that's interesting.” Said Troy now looking at Gohan out of his SSJ form.

“I'm sure the Doctor would have love to see this.”

“Troy quit stalling and finish the job. Something not right.” Ask Crane Master looking around questionable.

“What wrong- started Troy but quickly stop as he sense two fighters right on top of them. He turned just in time to see Vegeta kick him sending him flying to an abandon building while Piccolo blasts made contact with the others Crane Members watching from the side lines knocking three of the member out while the other two managed to block his blast.

Damn, they're pretty strong, especially if they could block that blast. We may be in over our heads. thought Piccolo.

Noticing the camera crew, he flashed his eyes causing all cameras in the area to explode.

For Gohan sake, I hope they didn't get a clear shot.

“For one thing, you started without me, but don't worry I'll make sure that you make that up.” Smirked Vegeta as he and Piccolo stood in front of Gohan.

“So you two finally decided to show your self. I had thought that you two ran away but soon you are going to wish that you had.”

I don't know how they manage to do that to the boy but there's NO WAY IN HELL THAT'S HAPPENING TO ME thought Vegeta.

“Well I guess we're going to see about that.” Answered Vegeta.

“Indeed we will, but keep in mind that anything you do to us will also be done to them.” Said Tory pointing to a group of people held hostage.

So that how they beat Gohan using them as hostages. This isn't good. thought Piccolo as he tried to think of something.

“So what; you act like we care.” Sneered Vegeta surprising Troy.

What is Vegeta doing? thought Piccolo, though he kept his mouth close figuring that Vegeta might have a plan.

“What are you talking about you do care, don't forget that I saw you two help those people on the boat, you can't trick me.” Smirked Troy.

“Well I happen to be in a good mood that night. Besides look at him(said Vegeta as he pointed to Piccolo), do he look like he would risk his life to save them, as for me, well I value myself first and foremost.” Smirked Vegeta.

The two sides continue to stare at one another.

“Troy, he's not lying, and from what I'm getting there's more of them on the way.” stated Crane Master

“Yeah I know, but let them come, we'll finish them off here.”

“I find that hard to do seeing that Tom, Jason, and Lee are knock out and who knows where the hell Tyson is, I'm betting these two took him out.”

“But how I thought we were suppose to be stronger than these guys.”

“Let's not forget what the doctor told us about them, for now it's best we leave and come back when everyone is back to their full power, besides fighting in this city isn't the best idea right now.”

“Okay.”

“Well I guess we'll have to make a rain-check but don't worry, you'll be seeing me soon enough: SOLAR FLARE!!!” shouted Troy as he brought his hand to his head catching Vegeta and Piccolo off guard. Quickly he, James and Zane pick of their fallen comrades and high tailed it out of there. By the time Vegeta and Piccolo got their sight back the group was nowhere in sight.

“Should of just blasted them when I had the chance, cowards.” Stated Vegeta.

“Forget about that now, we need to get Gohan to Capsule Corp.”

“Why, just give him one of those beans.”

“I can't, it's going to be a while before the new batch is ready.”

“Alright I'll take the boy, you go get the other to idiots.” Said Vegeta as he pick up Gohan and blasted off to Capsule Corp.

From the looks of things I better hurry. thought Vegeta.

Meanwhile Piccolo made his way back to were the cyborg and the doctor was located and after meeting up with Tien and the others who had finally made it to the city headed back to Capsule Corp.

B-

CAPSULE CORP.

The group sat in the living room waiting for any signs from the others. After the t.v. went out the group was left with no indication as the what was happening.

“Finally.” Announced Krillen as he headed out side.

“What's going on.” Ask Videl

“Someone coming.” Answered Bulma as the group followed Krillen out side.

“A few minutes later Vegeta arrive carrying Gohan.

“GOHAN?!!” shouted Videl as she approach Vegeta.

“OUT OF THE WAY GIRL!!” shouted Vegeta as he headed toward the regen tanks.

“Vegeta what happen?!” ask Bulma. But Vegeta ignored her as he finally made it to the tanks and after putting Gohan in there started the machine, after which everyone left the room following Vegeta as he headed outside waiting for the others to arrive.

“Now will you tell us what happen.”

“Not until the nameck arrive first with our `guest'.” Answered Vegeta.

It wasn't long after that Piccolo arrive with Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu following behind him.

“Gohan?”

“He's in the regen tank, though I don't know how long it going to take.”

Or if it will even save the boy. thought Vegeta. While the tank was known for saving those who usually didn't have a chance, there were still times when even the regen tanks couldn't save people.

“Bulma I don't suppose you have someplace we could put him?” ask Piccolo motioning to the cyborg on his right shoulder.

“As a matter of fact I do.” Answered Bulma leading everyone to the East Wing of Capsule Corp. The group soon entered what appeared to be holding room.

“I believe this room should do the trick.” Answered Bulma as she motion for Piccolo to put the cyborg in the cell.

“What is this place.” Ask Yamcha

“This is a holding room for guys like him. You see the cell has a special shield glass that almost unbreakable. So far only Vegeta and Gohan have managed to break it but only in super sayjin form, and that red orb in the center will absorb any blast shot in the cell. And it has a alarm that will notify us if by some chance he come close to breaking the shield.”

“Will this hold him?” ask Piccolo.

“It should seeing that I was able to knock him out without transforming, I doubt if he will be strong enough to break out even if he power up.” Stated Vegeta.

“Excuse me for asking Bulma, but what in the world made you want to create this?” ask Krillen.

“I don't know, maybe incase SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN.” Yelled Bulma.

Me and my big mouth. thought Krillen backing away.

“What about him.” Ask Chiaotzu pointing to the doctor who was finally coming around.

“I have some question I would like to ask him first.” Said Piccolo as he stood the doctor up placing him in the far corner of the room. Meanwhile the others made sure that Bulma and Videl was behind them incase the doctor tried something.

“Aw, my head.”

“You'll have more problems than that headache if you don't answer my question.” Stated Piccolo.

Getting a good look at Piccolo, the Doctor jumped from him looking for any possible exit which he did spot but didn't try anything seeing as the exit was currently being block by the one who had took out Tyson earlier. He also noticed the others standing there and it didn't take long for the doctor to figure out who most of them were as a smile slowly grace his face.

“What are you talking about?” ask the doctor playing dumb.

“You know what he's talking about. He want to know about those cyborgs you created.” Said Bulma

“Ah, the famous Bulma Briefs. So I take it that these are your creation.”

“WHAT?!!! I AM NO ONE CREATION!!!” said Vegeta.

“Oh believe me I know all about that. It didn't take me long to realize after examining your blood that three of you were not from this planet. And I also know that that boy is half human considering his father was the third one not from this planet. So I hope you realize that if you try anything I will gladly be turning those files over the government.”

A shriek was heard as the group turned around and realized that Videl was still with them. Knowing that now was not the time to worry about that; the group once again focus on the doctor all knowing that there were going to be some changes when this was over.

“I doubt that especially if all your files are located at that base we found.” Said Vegeta smirking as he saw the doctor pale at hearing that.

“Now tell us how do you know the Crane Master?”

“You mean you still haven't figure it out, I was the one who first design the prototype for his brother. After the military got hold of my research they recruited me to come work for them, which I did up until I disappeared. About two years ago the Crane Master got in touch with me again wanting me to do an upgrade on his brother. He was so please with the results that he offered me to begin doing work on several of his students as well.” Answered Dr. Frank.

“What I want to know is how did you get hold of Dr. Gero work.” Ask Bulma.

“I don't know what you are talking about, I design all of this.”

“You can't trick us Dr. Frank. We know for a fact that most of the design you use came from Dr. Gero, and I should know because it was us who defeated him plus I've seen some of these design before and none of it was from you.” Smirked Bulma.

“Fine, if you really must know I happen to come across them in a abandon cave (as he mention this Krillen quickly moved away from Vegeta who was glaring at him). From the looks of things everything had been destroyed except for a safe located at the back of the cave. I'm guessing you guys had something to do with the cave being the way it was when I found it. I see you didn't do a good job after all.”

So that was Dr. Gero work I found. Well that explains a lot. thought Dr. Frank.

Not being able to take anymore news, Videl quickly rush out the room. Bulma went to follow after her but was stop by 18.

“Let her go, besides I think it's best for all of us if she doesn't find out about anything else.” Said 18 as Bulma nodded agreeing with her.

“What about those designs? Who else knows about them.”

“Are you kidding, no one knows but me! Do you really think I would let someone get paid off my work? Sure I had others helping me but only I implemented the program.” Stated Dr. Frank proudly.

“Well that a relief.” Said Krillen.

“We wouldn't have this problem if you had destroyed the cave in the first place.”

“Are we finished playing 21 question?” ask Dr. Frank

“For now. Can we put him in the other cell.” Ask Piccolo.

“WHAT?!! I will not be put in a cell.” Announced the Doctor.

“Yes you will unless you want to answer to me.” Announced Vegeta.

Quietly the doctor was put into his cell as the others headed to the main house. There Piccolo fill Tien and the others on what they had miss out that morning and began discussing their next move.

“Bulma do you think you can reverse the operation done on the Crane Gang.” Ask Piccolo.

“I think so, but I need to see all the files he have on them. I might not be able to completely change everything but I do know that with the proper tool I could stop their huge power up.” Stated Bulma.

“Good tomorrow morning we'll head back to the base and get everything you'll need for this operation.”

“I'm coming along as well. When you two are done, I am personally going to make sure that there's nothing left to salvage this time.” Stated Vegeta as he headed out the room.

“Krillen will come as well. Bulma is it okay for all of us to stay here.”

“Sure Piccolo but why?”

“I don't think they'll skip an opportunity to take out us out one by one, it best if everyone stays here. Especially since Gohan is hurt. That way should something happen here while we're at the base they could handle it or at least slow them down till we arrive.” Announced Piccolo.

“Speaking of the cyborgs, how are we going to catch them, you said yourself they're strong.” Ask Tien.

“Yeah, look at what they did to Gohan.” Stated Yamcha.

“You might not have to worry to much about that.” Announced 18

“What do you mean.” Ask Tien.

“I saw the fight on t.v remember. Only three of them were able to actually hurt Gohan. Sure all of them attacked him but for the most part had he fought back, he could have beaten the first three, though I'm not to sure about the others because they didn't max out. I'm guessing that the three that manage to injure Gohan had to be the one with Vegeta, Goku, and Piccolo genes especially since one of them looked to be your color Piccolo. And let's not forget that Vegeta took out one of those cyborgs while it was powered up without transforming into a super sayjin.

“But how, I thought you said they were given a power boost.” Ask Krillen.

“They were but I been doing some thinking. Even with a power boost they couldn't be that much stronger than the ones they were copied from other wise they might risk killing their self as well. If that's the case then you guys should be about as strong as the one who were copied from you, at least I think so.”

“Except that unlike them, we know all of our flaws.” Stated Piccolo.

“Then there's a chance that we might can beat them.” Krillen

“So long as we fighting the ones that were copied from our self, yes.” Answered Tien

“But how do we know.” Ask Yamcha.

“Not to worry guys I have a list in the lab.” Stated Bulma.

“Well it looks like we have a plan.” Stated Chiaotzu

“Seems like it.” Answered Tien

“Well it's late, I suggest we all get some sleep.” Said Yamcha as the group got up ready to get some sleep.

“Hey Piccolo where are you going the rooms are this way.” Ask Krillen.

“I won't be needing one, if anyone need me I'll be with our two guest.” Said Piccolo as he headed out to the lab.

B-

CRANE GANG REMODELED HEADQUARTERS

Tom, Jason, Lee, Zane, and James were living it (with three of them having somewhat recovered from their earlier attack) celebrating their victory over Gohan. After returning from their earlier activities, they were now receiving offers from all over. It wasn't everyday that a gang managed to put two of Satan City finest out of commission. But Troy wasn't celebrating. Gohan was still alive and so were his friends. And Troy wouldn't celebrate until he had personally kill Gohan his self.

“Hey Troy what are you doing? Come join the party.”

“Yeah, come on this is for everyone.”

“And just what are we celebrating, IN CASE THE TWO OF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN, GOHAN IS STILL ALIVE.” Shouted Troy grabbing Tom by the neck.

“Hey Troy calm down.”

“Yeah, besides there's no way he'll be able to do anything now, not after what you did to him.” Said James.

“Still I won't be happy until he's dead.” Answer.

“And dead he will be, but only after you three have fully recovered.” Stated the Crane Master.

“But why not do it now, especially since he hurt, you said yourself they're not one to say down.” Answered Troy.

“So you're saying we should go after them attacking with one of my students missing and three others still recovering having foolishly use up most of their power.” Answered Crane Master.

“.....”

“That's what I thought. Make so mistake about it, I want them dead just as much as you do, but I do not want any more slip ups, the next time we see them will be their last.” Laugh Crane Master as he exited the room.

CAPSULE CORP.

All I wanted was to find out your secrets, I never thought it would go this far. thought Videl looking at Gohan through the regen tank.

“Are you alright.” Ask Bulma as she entered the room.

“I'm fine, I just got a lot of my mind. It not everyday I find out one of my class mate is.......you know.”

“Well, I can see how's that troubling you, believe me I was surprise myself when I first found out.”

“So......how did you handle it?”

“....Well there really wasn't nothing to it, I mean even if he was different he was still the same person, besides having knowing that only made it that much more exciting at the time. If you hang around long enough, you'll see what I mean.”

I think I do, I mean since I've met Gohan, there's sure been a lot more action than usually. thought Videl as she watch Bulma checking Gohan monitor.

“How is he doing?”

“Not to good, he got hurt pretty bad.”

“Will he be alright?”

“I believe so, this machine haven't fail me yet. Besides Gohan a fighter, he's not one to stay down.......So are you sure you'll be okay.

“Yeah I'll be fine. You can stop worrying about me freaking out. Sure it going to take me awhile to get use to the fact that `we're not alone' but aside from that, I'll be okay.”

“Alright....well we better get going.”

“Um, Bulma.......if you don't mind, can I stay here.”

“......Sure, oh and by the way the rest of the guys will be staying here as well so don't be to surprise if you see them in the morning.”

“Okay thanks, I'll see you tomorrow.” Said Videl as Bulma left the room.

Bulma's right he's still the same Gohan no matter what......I just hope he make it. thought Videl.

Well that's it for this Chapter. First of all I'm so sorry about getting this out so late. But the truth is I lost my work and had to start this chapter all over again. To be honest this is only half of what I had for this chapter. And instead of waiting till I was finished, I decided to make it two parts with this being the first (Especially seeing that rewriting this much took almost two weeks.). The second will be out as soon as I can finish it. Also thanks to everyone who sent me the attacks move of each of the fighters. That really helped me out lot. (n.n).
