Androids
Chapter Four : Retribution
Bulma walked forward to the edge of the cliff, turned and threw down her capsule.
"Huh?"Yadjirobe grunted, jumping up, "Hey, whaddya think your doing?"he asked her.
"I just wanna get a look at those androids, alright?"she asked him.
"No your not!"
"Oh yes I am"she said, climbing in holding Trunks.She shuffled into the passenger seat, leaving the door open."And your coming with me"
"No way!Noooo way!"he called back.
"Well, I think Vegeta might say differently...you dont want me to tell him you left us all alone, would you?"
Within five seconds the doors were down and they had blasted off.
Tien and 19 crashed into each other in midair, and 19 was thrown back into the ground.
Atop a high cliff, Vegeta looked on.That foolish Earthling is trying to take on the android alone...I think I'd better step in before he blows it.I've studied their techniques enough, now he thought, It's time for the great Prince to show his true colours!
Tien flipped right over Android 19 as he ran towards him.The android hit a rock, smashing it into small peices.
I need an energy recharge... Android 19 thought, Before it is too late...
A blast from a far cliff hit the battlefield in between 19 and Tien.
19 was just as confused as Tien, but he chose this oppourtunity to jump through the smoke and grab Tien by the neck.He kicked him down and pinned him there.
"Ve...ge...ta..."he gasped, as he android not only sucked his power away, but cut off his air supply, too.That Vegeta is a mess!He's runining everything.... Tien thought.He had sensed Vegeta's enormous power before he fired the blast, adding to his offput.But he wasnt worried for his life; he knew Vegeta would step in to get some glory.
"That Vegeta, damn him..."Piccolo said angrily.He could see him dropping down off the cliff onto the ground, and running toward's Tien.
"Yes...yes...I would estimate your survival at 54 seconds"19 told Tien in a maddened happiness, "But could speed that up!Oh yes!Ahahah!"he laughed, squeezing on Tien's neck, vast amounts of energy coming into him.
Android 20 no longer seemed worried.
"Is he always like this?Or is some chip just broken?"Freiza asked 20.
"Do not question the mentality of my creation"he warned."I provided you with above adequate improvements to your structure!"
"Okay!"Freiza replied."I dont see what's wrong with all you guys.Come on, let's just destroy them right now"
"Are you confident that you will be able to handle the enemies if it became a possibility that I would have to leave?"he asked.
"What are you talking about?Of course!I could take all of them!"he said with confidence.Yeah, he thought, The less I see of this guy nowadays, the better...
Vegeta appeared and kicked the Android off of Tien just in time.He gasped for breath, and Yamcha grabbed him just in time.
"Here"Krillin said.He grabbed Tien, and fed him a senzu bean.
"So your the bucket of bolts everybody's been having trouble with?"Vegeta asked 19.He had only spotted him, not Freiza or 20.He turned to 20, "And your his partner, huh?No problem.I can take you"he said.He turned to the third one, "That kid never mentioned a third one, but so what if one of you metal scraps got through the net?It's only-"
Just then, he noticed who it was, and in total disbelieving, was thrown off his cocky rollercoaster."Fr...fre..."
"Yes, it's me, Vegeta.It's me, Freiza..."he said."I should be surprised at your presence!First I killed you, then the planet blew up!"
Vegeta said nothing.
"I guess it was those dragonballs, eh?"Freiza asked.
What are they discussing? Android 20 thought, It must be something personal...yes, Freiza and the Saiyans have a long history.And I am grateful for him, much so.He has provided us with a wealth of new information, allowing me to upgrade my total overplanning.But still, even knowing of the Saiyan history and the "Gold Saiyan" transformation, they are still out of our league.That is why I must activate 17 and 18 at once...but no! He looked to Tien, as he stood up again, The Senzu Bean's powers have weaved their magic over Piccolo, Tien and Yamcha.All our hard work, reversed upon us.Yes, I must escape soon...but I shall see these events play out before I do.
"I dont know what's happened with you, Freiza!"Vegeta shouted, "But your next!"
"I am much stronger than you, now more than ever!"Freiza boasted.
"Oh are you?"Vegeta asked."We'll have to see about that!"
Vegeta was angry.It posed both a disadvantage and an advantage.In an advantage, wanting to show Freiza his awesome power and quite angry, he would defeat the Android quickly and efficently.In a disadvantage, Vegeta coud slip up in his anger, letting the Android steal vital energy.
The game was set for the Saiyan and the Android : the clash of the titans.The niceites had been sidelined.Vegeta would crush that bunch of bolts.He should finally reclaim his glory by destroying Freiza.He would not show his secret technique until he faced Frieza.
Vegeta jumped up and kicked the Android in the head, sending him crashing into the dusty ground.He appeared behind the android and kicked him down into the ground, hard.I dont like to admit it, but Tien has done alot of the work for me.Even with the android's power up, he is weak.
Vegeta blasted him from behind, throwing him forward.
"Ohh..."19 groaned, pushing himself up.I have missed an important energy absorbing oppourtunity...I cannot make the same...mistake...
"Why dont you give up now, android?!"he shouted.The android was growing weak quite rapidly.Vegeta kneed him in the stomach and his leg came round from behind, pinning the android between them.He fell down and Vegeta blasted into the air, but the greedy android followed, seeking an oppourtunity.But a split second before firing, he changed his strategy and kicked him down into the ground, creating a deep crater, smoke and dust billowing from it.Half-buried in rubble and mud, the android laid still.
He needed to accquire some energy, and fast.He waited for Vegeta to touch down, and the cocky Saiyan did.Just at his feet.
He created a ball of energy in his right hand, pointing it at the android.Before he could fire, the android jumped up and absorbed it, and grabbed both his hands.
"Yes, oh yes, you fool Vegeta!"The android cried, "Now all of your life energy shall be mine!"
Vegeta let him hold on, smiling, his eyes closed.
"This is good, you are accepting your fate!"19 shouted.Vegeta jumped up, his feet pressing against the androids cheeks, stretching his arms.
Vegeta had nearly unlimited energy, and 19 was content, nearly full.Vegeta could control the release of energy after heavy training, and he hadnt even gone Super Saiyan yet.
"I have said it"19 struggled with words and the effort of holding on, "Before"he had to pause again, "My grip is...unbreakable!You shall never be free"
"Never is a very...long...time!"Vegeta shouted.He jumped up and his elbow came down on the android's head, smashing some important valves, blood and oil, or whatever it was, burst out of his nose, ears, mouth and eyes.
"Sight sensor malfunction..."19 said, and then his hands were ripped off, not gently at some join, but messily, leaving important circuits, materiels and information.
He could not feel his arms or hands anymore, since the circuit had been broken.
"19!"Android 20 shouted.He stared about wildly, looking for an escape when the inevitable came, but he turned back as Vegeta powered up, placing his two hands together and created a great ball of flaming energy.
The terrified android desperately tried to climb out of the crater.He jumped out and began running away.
He shall destroy me!I must escape!Malfunction!Malfunction! He thought desperately.Vegeta removed the hands gripping his wrists and threw them at the android, and with his now weak balance, tripped him up.He slid around, his face inches from them.
Yes...maybe the extreme procaution must be taken... 19 thought.The wires and metal and other vital inner-instruments retracted from 19's wrists, and they lit up white-hot and slotted neatly into the hands, melting them back in place.The wires and joints rearranged themselves efficently and quickly.
"19 still has a chance..."20 thought, "Yes, if Vegeta is to be foolish enough as to continue powering up with his Big Bang technique, then he shall be done for"
Vegeta did continue to power up, a huge blast, rather than getting bigger, was filling with more and more energy.
"Yes!YES!"19 snorted.He held up his hands to Vegeta's attack, waiting.
That fat moron, Vegeta thought, his eyes shining in reflection of the attack.Does he really think that I cant see him?I'm going to explode him from within
"What is Vegeta doing?"Tien asked them, "Why doesnt he stop powering up"
"His ego"Piccolo said, "That's why"
Tien turned to Piccolo in interest."He's showing us all his amazing power.He's going to finish this in style, filling him to breaking point with energy"
Vegeta fired the massive attack.He lifted his hands up and grabbed the attack.His hands were still a little under-performing.He needed to process the energy, and so it expanded as the energy fizzled out.Then he began to suck the giant ball into his hand, it was half the size of the canyon itself.
"Yes!Yes!I am nearly full!"he cried, and he had not even absorbed a quater of the total capacity."I've done it!I am complete!Now I am stronger than you Vegeta!"
He looked to Piccolo and the others, But why stop there? he asked himself, I could become the strongest of them all, and I could crush them with ease!
"Dont be greedy, 19!"20 warned.I should have programmed more energy storage capacity... 20 thought.
And then, 19's already fat body began to bloat as the circuits overflowed with power.The skin began to melt, and then before absorbing all of it, he exploded within, smoke coming out of his ears, eyes, mouth, nose and head.Out of his head, half of the brain exploded out, flames burning them away and the white skin into black filth.
He fell down and the rest of the attack threw him into the ground and exploded over him, pushing his head round his neck.Wires burst out of them, and his wrists and legs.
19 is finished!I must return to the laboratory and either repair him, or release 17 and 18... he thought.
"So, you have defeated that blubbering droid"Frieza said, flying slowly up to his adversary."I expected no less from a Saiyan as skilled as you"
"Dont try to court me, Freiza.I'm going to destroy you"Vegeta said.My energy is lower than I would have liked...no thanks to that android Vegeta thought.
They squared each other off, as Android 20 thought more.
Yes I will try to retake Android 19.Freiza will hold off them here.I do not want to reactivate those rebellors.I doubt my final programming shall hinder their firey edge, but I may be able to convince them to at least eliminate Goku... While he planned all this out in his head, he reached 19.
He scanned him with his eyes.A computer display in his eyes informed him of 19's status.
Artifical Human Creation, Number #019.Class B, Power Absorber.
Damage Report, 88%.Power Report, 24% energy.
To repair this android, recommended course of action to realign hand, feet and head joints.Brain report, 4%.Recommend replace important brain compontents, but not the personality or freedom traits.Also, it would be essential to replace power absorption and distribution circuits, as well as movment circuits.This should repair #19 to full working order.
Android 20 pondered his course of action, but he sensed danger.He turned to see that the Z team had formed a circle round him.Piccolo at the head of the crater, followed by Gohan, Yamcha, Tien and Krillin.He was trapped, completely.His only way out was to take one hostage.
Yes, he found the closest and most valuable subject.
Son Gohan.
The Android jumped forward and grabbed him by his mouth, throwing him into the ground.He bounced up and 20 grabbed him again, clenching his mouth tightly.
"No!Gohan!"Piccolo shouted.
"Dont blast him, you might hurt Gohan!"Krillin warned.
"Yes, dont hurt Gohan"20 agreed.He squeezed his mouth more, leeching the boy's energy.
"Mmm!Mmmm!"he could only manage a muffled murmur.Gohan was forced to power up by the Android, so he could absorb power at an enormous rate.
He's dying... Krillin thought.He blasted forward but 20 jumped and elbowed him in the head, then grabbed him by the mouth too, forcing him to power up as he was filled with energy.I must not be as greedy as 19...I will soon be more than full, then I shall kill them before the Senzu bean can weave it's magic upon them.
Goku, in his home, felt the sudden rise of two of the closest people to him : Gohan and Krillin."It's happening again!They're going to die!"
Goku remembered back to Trunks, three long years ago.His warning...he shouldnt, but Gohan would die...and Krillin along with him!
He put his fingers to his head, disappeared and reappeared close to the giant crater.Above him, two dots landed the first blows upon each other.In front of him, he could see Piccolo, Tien and Yamcha.He blasted towards them, and saw the android.
"Stop!STOP!"he cried, seeing his son and his best friend being nearly spent.The android looked to him as Goku became a fully fledged Super Saiyan and smashed the android across the head.He smashed into the ground, his helmet rolling off ahead of him.He groaned, in pain.
"Get a senzu bean!Quick!"Goku cried.He was breathing heavy,tired and scared.
"Krillin's got them"Yamcha said, pointing to his pack.Goku retrieved two and fed them one each.
The android grabbed his hat and put it back on.He blasted off quickly.
"He's getting away!"Tien cried.
"Shouldnt you be at home, in bed?"Piccolo asked, "Away from us and resting?"
There was an underlying tone in his voice.Goku kept breathing heavily, as Gohan and Krillin blinked, standing up.
"What do we do next?He's got away!"Yamcha said in anxiety.
"Look, I did what I had to do to save Gohan"Goku said.
"Did what you had?"Piccolo asked, angrily, "You stupid Saiyan!You just want the blood from a match.We were on top of the situation"
"That's..."he gasped, "Not true!"
"Just get back home before you infect us all"Piccolo snapped.
"I...want to help..."he replied.
"Your a burden we cant bear"Piccolo growled, "Now get out"
Goku looked around, hurt, and the same image seemed to be on everyone's face.
"Yeah, we dont wanna see you hurt, Goku"Yamcha told him.
"Fine!"Goku snarled, powering down and putting two fingers to his head, now gasping for breath desperately, "FINE!"he shouted, and he disappeared.
"Should we go after him?"Tien asked.
"No"Piccolo ordered, "We've already been exposed to Goku long enough!We'd better just go find the android"Piccolo told them.Man, Goku, I wish you would'nt have done that... he thought, You dont know how much you've endangered everyone's lives...
"And Vegeta?"Krillin asked, rubbing his neck and standing up.Gohan stood up soon after.
They all looked up to Vegeta and Freiza.
"We'll leave him.Freiza isnt our main target.Now come on!"Piccolo shouted.
They all blasted off towards the mountains and rocks and great boulders that lead to the mainland.
"Hmm..."Piccolo murmured, "Yes, I can see his advantage now...because we cant sense his power, he could use these places to hideout for days without us knowing anything"
"Hey, D'you think we have a chance?"Yamcha asked in worry.It was extremely cold up there, and Krillin and Gohan shivered.Yamcha tried to hide this on his face, but he shook nonetheless.But as Krillin and Gohan hugged themselves for warmth, Piccolo and Tien looked about, without feeling the slightest bit cold.
"I dont know, Yamcha, but I think the androids can survive without water and food.They could, like Piccolo said, last out here for days, even weeks"Tien replied.
"I think we should split up"Piccolo said, "And search the rocks.There's five of us so we should cover ground quickly.Ready?"he asked.
"Look"Gohan whispered, "There's South City..."he murmured.Sure enough, surrounded by a ring of snowy, grey-black mountains lay the South capital, South City.
"Let's go"Piccolo grunted.But before they could blast off, Krillin shouted, "Wait!"
"What now, Krillin?!"Piccolo growled.
"Look I've got ten senzu beans, if we split it two-way each, we should-?"he said.
"Alright, thanks"Piccolo said, as everyone got handed two.
"Let's hope it doesnt come to that"Tien said.
"Now!Let's do this!"Piccolo shouted, and they all blasted off in different directions.
Meanwhile, the battle between Vegeta and Freiza had just begun.Freiza folded his arms, "Okay Vegeta, for a warm up, I wont use my hands.Now let's see what you can do"
"Phh"Vegeta grunted, "It should be me setting these ridiculous challenges, your just too weak for me even with both your arms!"
"Why you little!"He cried angrily.
Vegeta jumped and kicked into Freiza's face, but he used his foot to block it.
"He..he..."he laughed.
"Dont break into mad laughter"Vegeta paused and clasped his hands together, then wacked down on Freiza's head, "JUST YET!"he finished.
Freiza flew into the ground but stopped himself at the last minute and touched down lightly.
"Look I dont think I have time for your games, Freiza!"Vegeta shouted, "I have to go hunt down that android"he shoved his head into the rocky outcrop.
"Awww"he mocked, "Little baby Vegeta doesnt get his own way!Hahahah!"he laughed.
"There's the laugh"Vegeta said, "You madman!"
He blasted forward and headbutted Freiza in the stomach, pried his arms apart and pulled them out, like some grotesque wrestling move.He then slammed Freiza into the ground, jumped up and began shooting short blasts of purple-white energy, Freiza's arms still sticking awkwardly up in the air, his face buried in the mud.
"Ha!"Vegeta shouted, lifting his arms back over his head an firing a culmination of the other attacks, which blasted Freiza into the air.
"He..he...he..."he breathed, landing down on the flooring and looking through the dust and grit for the android.
"Freiza?"he asked.He could not sense anything, as with all the androids."Freiza...?"he paused again and heard a stone drop behind him through the dust, which seemed to be hanging thickly in the air."FREIZA?!!"he screamed into the sky.It rang out as the final battle of Vegeta, his endless torment, the uncrushable, invincible...Lord Freiza.
Android 20 jumped up into the air and looked about him.The closest energy he detected was of the one named Tienshinhan, blasting towards him exactly 5.68 miles away.
"Yes..."he said aloud, "I have managed to put sufficent difference between myself and them.Now I shall return to my laboratory without worry of further tracking"
He blasted off in the air, extremely quickly, using up the energy he had stored from his earlier battle with Piccolo.
The distance between himself and Tienshinhan grew, when suddenly his sensor flashed, warning him.
From the left Yamcha appeared, 6 miles away exactly.From the right Krillin came up 7.7 miles away.
"They seem to be enclosing me..."he murmured."Huh?"he turned as just a little way behind Tien came Gohan, 5.88 miles away.
"And finally..."the android whispered knowingly.Nearly directly west of him was Piccolo, a mere 3.04 miles away.
He jumped down back into the cover of the rocks.Yes, they are all here...and I must rethink my strategy if I am to escape.They have the advantage, and they are forming a circle around me... he thought.
Back at home, or where Goku thought home was, Goku had just arrived, gasping.He had made a large error, and had appeared in a ditch somewhere.He was gasping extremely hard, crying out for air."What...is...happening?!"he screamed.His eyes grew tired, but he managed to crawl helplessly out of the ditch, and gazed out into the sunlight.He stood up.
His ditch was at the bottom of an embankment, and he was in what had now become a dried up river.A fish lay dead on the ditch floor.
He closed his eyes and tried to feel where he was.
Yes, he was around South City somewhere, at the foot of a mountain, where a great river lead into the sea, but this perticular tributary had dried up.
Goku was now in desperation for air.He felt extremely tired, and unable to help himself, he fell backwards into the ditch and slammed onto the muddy ground, unconcious and dying.
The dust began to settle, at last, around Vegeta.As it did, he saw a shadow, and then felt an extremely painful gut punch, and a mouthful of blood left him.
Suddenly, an image flashed in Vegeta's mind.They were on Namek, Freiza was in this, his fourth, strongest, form.The sky was blue, the water was green...and in his old armour, the far stronger changeling had just performed the same move.Vegeta's mind returned to normal as Freiza removed his fist.
"You..."Vegeta dropped down on his knees and looked up at him, holding his stomach, "You used your hands..."he coughed, and Freiza jumped up and kicked him in the side of the head, sending him flying into a boulder at the end of the canyon.
"Your pathetic, Saiyan!"Freiza taunted.Vegeta lay still in the rubble, his pride now heavily dented, "Why dont you just stay there, and your obliteration will be quick!"he shouted.I've still got my wild card, Vegeta thought, And I think it's time to play it...
Android 20 began dashing between the closely-knitted rocks and stones and boulders stacked on top of each other.
He jumped quickly, but still kept silent and low.
"Whoa..."Piccolo murmured."I sense an enourmous power level coming from somewhere nearby...it's amazing!It's astounding...."
"Huh?"Tien muttered.He turned and looked down to the entranceway of the canyon."It's Vegeta!He's fighting Freiza...but a massive power increase could mean only one thing...is it possible that..."
"...could Vegeta be a Super Saiyan?"Gohan asked himself.It couldnt be true.
Meanwhile, using that time of distraction, for he had also sensed the power increase but ignored it, Android 20 plotted his next course of action.
Hmmm.... I see that this rock formation was formed from a recent volcanic explosion...that means these rocks will be breakable.Maybe I could use it as a distraction, even a weapon!
He turned around and blasted a red haze of light.Krillin, high up in the air, turned around to see it.Piccolo, Tien and Yamcha saw the great billowing clouds of grey dust and stones, moving at deadly speed.And Gohan, finally, noticed the rocks falling onto each other and crumbling away into nothing.
"The android...what's he doing?"Gohan asked himself.
Good, the Android thought, I have created a distraction.Now I must continue on to my laboratory...
He turned around and began to run again, sometimes hopping between rocks to save time.I must leave these close rocks quickly...he stopped and turned, Unless....unless I could absorb some more energy for a recharge...He scanned the whole area, and his in-built processor put them in order of power.
Yamcha - 10,000,000
Gohan - 12,000,000
Krillin - 13,500,000
Tien - 16,000,000
Please, I need help...the android has got me and I dont think I can last much longer...
"I'm coming!"Gohan shouted out loud, and he blasted for Piccolo.
Piccolo - 20,000,000
Yes, it seems Piccolo is the strongest of the five...I shall absorb all the nessecary energy to recharge...
He lifted slowly into the air as the others looked about.Now only Piccolo was in the air, just above a small rock cliff.The android lifted up his hand menacingly, and jumped into the air.He wrapped his legs around Piccolo's waste, stretched one arm round his neck, and placed his hand over Piccolo's mouth.
"Yes...yes...Piccolo you are unable to control your flow of energy"20 whispered."It shall ALL be mine very soon..."
He's right... Piccolo thought, his eyes struggling to stay open, Gohan!Gohan listen to me!
Gohan stopped looking at where the android fired his attack and towards Piccolo.He suddenly heard his voice, saw him, and felt a special link.
Can you see me?
Yes... Gohan 'thought' back.
Vegeta jumped out of the rubble and sent a punch into Freiza's cheek, a great smashing swing that threw him into the ground.
"I'm tired of you, Freiza!Now..."he paused, clenching his fist sending his veins pumping through him, "WATCH ME!"
He opened his mouth, screaming, sending gold bolts of electricity all around himself.Then his hair pointed up, turning gold.
Freiza stood, groaning.
"Grrrr...."he grumbled.He looked to Vegeta, and gasped.Vegeta's eyes turned green, his eyebrows gold, his muscles pumped."He's...he's..."Freiza whispered in awe and fright, "He's one of them!"
He inched back desperately.
"Yes..."Vegeta muttered, breathing out, "Ahahahhah!I see that scares you, doesnt it Freiza?"he asked.
"Ahh...ahhh..."Freiza gurgled.He remembered back to Namek, when he turned and that purple disc sliced away his arm and everything below the waste.
And how Goku blasted, throwing him into that burning larva...how he crawled out, barely alive, only to be blasted out of the atmosphere in a painful haze, ripping him apart.
And now Vegeta...that scumbag...he would exterminate him.But he would do it in the most painful way...the last of the Saiyans...gone.
"Ahh..."20 said, releasing Piccolo from his grasp."I have a sufficent overcharge to handle even the best of you.Goodbye"he said.
He kicked himself off Piccolo's back, but as he blasted away a swift hit from Gohan knocked off his hard-hat once again, sending him crashing to the ground.The hat bounced off and was jammed between some rocks.
"Argh..."20 groaned, feeling his triple-plated glass-protected head.He stood and reached for his hat, placing it on himself once again.
"This wont work!"he shouted up to Piccolo and Gohan.
Yamcha and Krillin turned, and Tien flew towards the shout.
"You idiots!Succumb now to my refined power and intelligence!"
"It's true, he knows every dirty trick in the book"Piccolo said, "Hiding and stealing other people's energy being one"
He scowled up at them, "I am programmed to use any and all available courses of action.Therefore, I take the most effective"
"Whatever"Piccolo replied."The sooner we get on with the fighting the sooner we can destroy you"
A massive explosion drew Piccolo's, Gohan's and now Tien's who had reached them, attention behind them.
"Vegeta...his massive power..."Piccolo whispered.
"Let's just end this now, with the android!"Tien cried, slightly jealous of his raging powers, "It's nearly over anyway"
"Oh, but this is far from over"20 replied.They were now at the edge of the rocky canyon.20 disappeared and began running to victory again.
Vegeta blasted forward and kicked Freiza into the cliff-face.He crashed through it and Vegeta pummled him right through to the rocks on the other side.
He smashed down on Freiza's head and kicked him through some of the rocks.
"You're no match for a Super Saiyan, Freiza!"Vegeta cried."Huh?"Vegeta murmured.He looked to the sky where a purple explosion sent masses of rocks and boulders tearing through each other in a haze of dust, like a black sea of rubble.Vegeta jumped high to avoid the dust, then landed right in front of the rock that the leech Freiza was hiding under.He had no time for leeches and cowards; he ignored the distraction and descended on his prey.
Freiza lifted the rock off of himself."Fine, Vegeta!"he shouted, "You wanna play tough, huh?"
Freiza jumped forward and sent his hand towards Vegeta, ready to absorb some of his new found energy.Vegeta grabbed his wrist, "Havent you androids learned that your energy absorbers are nothing more than flimsy peices of rubbish?"he asked.He snapped it off, pushing it upwards and tearing it off the arm.
"Ahh...ahhh!"Freiza screamed.Vegeta crushed it.Freiza looked desperately between his metal stump, spurting out electricity, and Vegeta.
He lifted up his hand and one swift blast from it destroyed Freiza, throwing him back into the rocks and into oblivion.Vegeta deformed, took to the sky and headed for the others.
Yamcha and Krillin reached Gohan, Piccolo and Tien.
"Out of my grasp, just out of reach..."Tien murmured.
"Yeah, he got away"Piccolo told them."Darn it, I let him absorb a great deal of energy"Piccolo conceded.
"I wasnt talking about that..."Tien whispered.
"Huh?"Piccolo murmured, staring at him.He looked to Krillin, and his beanbag.
He grabbed a senzu bean and ate it, regenerating him to his old strength.
"Come on, let's keep going"Piccolo said.
"We're you"a voice asked, as a fighter stopped just behind Piccolo, drawing everyone's attention to him, "Going to start looking for the final mess of scrap without me?"
It was Vegeta.
"Man, what was with that power, Vegeta?"Krillin asked.
"Shut up"Vegeta snapped, "I've got rid of Freiza that's all you need to know"
"I think we deserve a little more than that, Vegeta"Piccolo told him coolly.
"Just can it already!"Vegeta spat."We've got more important matters on our hands, like...androids?"
"Yes, I agree.He's gone into the mountains on the mainland"Tien said.
"And you've been scowering around here unnoticed?"Vegeta asked, "How pathetic.I'm going to find him alone.Dont bother me, any of you"
He blasted off.
"Damn, so stubborn.That ego..."Piccolo muttered."Come on, guys"
The rest of them took off after Piccolo, while a mysterious figure appeared on the horizon, in a mysterious ship.It landed on the island just next to the wrecked body of Android 19.He stepped out of his time machine to look upon an unfamilar sight : Earth was fine.
