Androids

Chapter Seven : Race for Goku

Piccolo, Tien, Diordna and Yamcha's progress was again impeded by a suggestion from Tien.
"Hey, I know your strong and you seem to be able to take the androids on pretty well, I still dont think we can do it relying on you alone, Diordna"he said.
"Well then what do you suggest?"Piccolo asked.He was thinking of an error quite a while back the group seemed to have forgotten : they had let Dr.Gero, Freiza and his father escape.And their passon for Goku's eradication was so much more intense than the androids...
"I think we should go back in to training, I mean, alone were not very much, and I want to improve on that..."
"Mmm..."Yamcha murmured.
"Yeah, I'd take Chaotzu back to our secluded forest plateu, I'm sure even a few days training could make a difference"
"I suppose your right"Piccolo admitted, "But exactly, safety in numbers.It would be helpful if you focused on helping Chaotzu, we could really use all the help we can get"
"Right"Tien agreed, nodding, "See you!"
"Bye!"Yamcha called.
"Are you going to do any training?"Piccolo asked Yamcha.
"No"Yamcha replied, "I doubt I'd be much use even with training...I think I'll stick with you"
"Fine by me"Piccolo said."Three of us versus the three androids...though, that large one....16, is it?He doesnt seem to be as involved as the others...I heard them in the lab, Dr.Gero muttering something about him being incomplete..."
"Oh, and Yamcha"Diordna said, "You are not weak..."
Yamcha smiled."Thanks..."he mumbled, embarassed.The three of them blasted off towards the mountain ranges were the androids last where.

The androids, doing a measly fifty miles an hour in their Lucky Foods van, extremely slowly neared Goku's house, soon to be put directly upon the right course.
"What is the point of this, 17?This racing about like little children..."
"I dont have to explain myself again"he replied, "It's simple!The enjoyment factor!Come on, dont deny you get enjoyment from this?"
"Your seriously weird, 17..."she turned to 16."Huh, what do you think, big guy?"she asked.After a few seconds, she continued, "...16?"
"I know what makes him speak"17 whispered."Hey!16!"he shouted, looking into the driver's mirror, "Where does Goku live?"
"Son Goku lives upon Mt.Pao in the centre of a ring of hills and mountains in a small cottage in-"
"Okay okay"17 murmured."We get the picture"
"Alright 17"18 said, accepting he was "right"."Can we stop off for a change of clothes any time soon?The old doctor's style was perticulary repulsive..."
"Hey I like my clothes!"17 said.
"Ugh..."

Gohan neared capsule corperation."Look, Bulma, there's your house!"
"Oh, yeah!"Bulma cried."Thanks, Gohan!"
Gohan landed, Yadjirobe stepping lazily off his back, Bulma, cradling Trunks, jumping lightly forwards.
"Mom, hey!"she shouted to her mother, as Gohan stepped back.
"Look, I've gotta go"Gohan mumbled.
"Hey mom, get our Gohan here some cookies, that boy's carried us all the way from South City!"
"You dont say!"she shouted."Well Gohan I'd be happy to..."
Bulma turned to see why her mother had stopped talking."Where is he...?"
They had been talking to thin air.Gohan was long gone, heading for his father's house.
It's
"So"Krillin began, "How long do you think it should take Goku to recover from his illness, bad as it is?"
"Well"Trunks replied, "Taking everything into account, I'd say around...anything between five to ten days...knowing Goku, I'd say one restful week would do it!"
"No problem, hiding him for a week should be easy!"Krillin shouted.He and Trunks continued on towards Goku's house.

Vegeta was blasting off blindly, rage consuming him."I...I tried so hard..."images of him fighting under the intense gravity, fighting the meteor showing becoming a Super Saiyan..."And for what?!"he cried.He looked into the sky, and it flashed, the image of Goku in that flash.Any enemy Goku ever faced he defeated with ease, yet, he never intended to...but whatever I try to do, putting all my intense stamina into...into my life...is brushed away like nothing...why....WHY IS LIKE...THAT?!
Totally enraged, Vegeta blasted on.

Android 20, or Dr.Gero as he was now called, landed down upon the slope leading up to Goku's house.
Yes... he thought, looking up to the house with glee, The moment for revenge...the moment for evening the score has come...if I die in the process, so be it...there will be others to carry on the great name of Dr.Gero, the worlds most amazing mastermind...
He dashed madly up towards the house.

Upon his lookout, Kami watched down upon the unfolding events, and without any burdens of fighting, he had totally consumed himself with figuring out the situation.He had pensievly ran things over in his mind, and had realised something.So far, he had been the only person to acknowledge this fact, though Trunks had touched upon it:the androids had not only changed physically, they had done mentally, too.
Kami ran through everything in his mind
In Trunks' time, Dr.Gero was weak and feeble, destroyed by his own creation.In Diordna's time, he was kind, gentle but had survived, then devoting his life to trying to save other worlds from a similar fate...in this time, he was incredibly powerful, and evil.A combination of the bad parts of both, for them at least.Also, in this time, the androids seem to be frollicing and fun, and they didnt kill anyone.In Diordna and Trunks' time, they were bloodthirsty and vicious, utterly destroying everything in sight...
He thought.At that moment, Android 20 had reached Goku's house.

The android blasted down the door, sending splinters everywhere.
"Gohan?Is that you?"a voice shouted.
Hmm, his wife, Chi-Chi...she poses no threat... 20 thought.Huh?
His sensors indicated another very close, strong power, closer than Freiza and his father.
It's...Gohan...I must hurry...He ran in and looked about.He saw Ox-King, Chi-Chi's father, wandering about the kitchen.
Using just one finger and touched his neck, he sent the man to floor, making a crashing noise.
"Gohan, I hope your not doing anything you shouldnt be!Dad, tell him to..."
20 entered the room."Huh?Who are you?"Chi-Chi asked.He simply grabbed her and threw her aside, into the wall harshly.He held up his hand towards the sick Goku.
"No, dont!"Chi-Chi cried.20 pushed her back down.A ball of energy was created in his hand.Just then, Gohan's power level reached the door of the house.
Damn...it would not be wise to attack the boy, then the other's fury will be unleashed upon me...at the moment, I do not pose a threat to them...yes...for now, Goku, you shall survive...
He silently slipped out the back of the house, and by the time Chi-Chi explained everything to him, he was long gone.
But that still left the incoming Freiza and his father.

Yamcha, Diordna and Piccolo had reached the Lucky Foods depot, and questioned Bob and James.
"It doesnt matter, they're long gone..."Piccolo murmured angrily."What's the point of this if we cant even sense their energies?"
"You know, I've been thinking, maybe we should all just go to help Goku, and let them come to us?"Yamcha asked.
"You do that"Piccolo said.He seemed determined to put all his effort into finding them.
"You know you can just-"Yamcha began.
"Go!"Piccolo shouted."You could be of a lot of use there"Yamcha reluctantly nodded, and blasted off.
"Diordna, could I ask you, is it possible for..."he tried to phrase himself carefully.He didnt think Diordna actually knew that he was an android, "Could you sense 17 and 18's power levels?"
"Hold on...my father told me...let me think..."
He closed his eyes, concentrating hard."No..."he murmured, "All I can sense is this place...they seem to have a slightly different life signal than the one's in my time...maybe I can sense where they were an hour ago, or something"he paused, "Why...cant you sense them?"
"No, I cant sense power levels"Piccolo lied.Then it's true...Dr.Gero programmed him with the ability to sense the android's power, yet, I dont think even he could've calculated such a difference...

Freiza at last, reached Goku's house.
"Where is the doctor?"King Cold asked, looking around suspiciously.
"He's left here...perhaps the boy scared him off!"
Tending to his father, Gohan's ears pricked.He thought he heard someone talking.He sneaked towards the splintered.
"What boy?"King Cold asked, crushing some of the peices of the door in his hand.
"Really, father!Goku's son!Come on, let's find him"
"Ragh!"Gohan shouted, jumping in their way before they could enter the house."My, what a little warrior we have..."Freiza murmured.Freiza lifted up his arm and blasted Gohan and the wall behind him, throwing him, with a load of smoke and splinters, into the next room with Goku lying in his bed.
Chi-Chi turned in fear towards Freiza."Oh no!Not another one!"
Freiza smirked, holding his hand up towards Goku's lifeless body.
Gohan wearily opened his eyes."Eh...eh..."he whimpered, in pain.Within seconds, rage had engulfed Gohan, and tapping into some of his awesome power, he kicked Freiza through the wall and out onto the green pastures inside.He slid down, his eyes closed.
That kid...
"How dare you!"King Cold shouted.
"Dont...touch...my...DAD!"he shouted, and putting his hands together, he continued, "MASSENKO-SENKO!"
The almighty blast directly hit the King, and utterly destroyed him.
"Ah..no..."Freiza murmured, lying at the bottom of the valley.He stood, facing up to the house.My father....ohh, that boy will pay along with his father!
"Freiza finally realised that someone was stronger than him..."
20's voice echoed from hours ago when he was telling Piccolo and the others what had happened to him.
Yes...I must not underestimate the boy...I saw it on Namek.When he's angry, he'll unleash his full fury...it doesnt matter, he'll be gone soon anyway!
Freiza raced up the hill of grass and sent an almighty kick into Gohan's head, throwing him right through the smashed wall and door onto the other side of the house.
Freiza waited for him at the door."Come on, kid!Let's see what ya got!"
Gohan stood angrily, "Just go away, I dont want to fight you!"
Freiza blasted forward, kicking and punching furiously.
I'll remember my training...I'll beat him...for you, dad...
Gohan was no match, though, in his normal strength.Freiza soon floored him, holding a finger up in the air.
"I think maybe I'll destroy this planet, now that my father is gone..."he muttered.He created his death ball, and it began to expand.And suddenly, before it could grow out of control, a kick sent him into the ground.Not from Gohan, though.Trunks and Krillin landed either side of where Freiza once stood.Now he was lying flat on his stomach.
The Super Saiyan Trunks stepped forward."Come on, Freiza!Let's finish what we started!"
Freiza stood, cracking his arm and neck bones.Then he turned to face the others.
"Well well well"he said, "What a posse of weaklings...no matter, I'll just destroy you all!"
Trunks smirked.I think that Freiza is stronger than me, but I'm not sure....and he can absorb energy, I musnt forget that...Trunks looked to the smashed house, And Goku!Freiza isnt the main problem, and if Krillin's predictions are right, then the androids will be heading this way...something to knock him out, without drawing attention to myself...
Trunks readied himself, then drew his sword and blasted towards Freiza.

17 and 18 rattled along in their Lucky Foods truck, 16 in the back.
"Ugh..."18 groaned."How...much...longer, 17?"she asked boredly.
"It shouldnt be long now!Why are you all tensed up?"
18 looked back to 16, who was smirking.
"Who'dve known you'd be enjoying this too, 16?Boys will be boys..."she murmured.
"Well 16?How much longer?"17 asked him.
"A sufficent number of hours, perhaps days..."
"DAYS?!"18 cried."We're going to have to stop off somewhere so I can stretch my legs..."
"Okay, okay 18...you can change your clothes at the next stop then, like you wanted"

Trunks' sword swiped, this way and that.But Freiza dodged, using some of his amazing prescision speed.Trunks brought the sword down on Freiza's head, but he dodged and his sword hit the ground.He tried to pull it out, but Freiza landed behind him and kicked him.This kick sent him and the sword crashing into the ground.
Trunks stood, rubbing his head as he turned.I guess I'll have to rethink my strategy....
Trunks' sword came down on Freiza.
"Why use the same moves?"Freiza asked.And then, Trunks' sword came up into his head.Using his hands, Freiza held it down.Trunks persisted, using all his strength to push up, as Gohan and Krillin watched anxiously.
"You okay?"Krillin whispered.
"Yeah, but my mom.."he replied.
"We'll get you all out when Trunks defeats him"
"Do you...do you think he will?"
Trunks' sword pushed Freiza's hands aside, and it slashed up his face, creating a great gash down the middle.
"Argh...argh.."Freiza grunted.Taking this oppourtunity, Trunks blasted Freiza with all his power, sending him flying and screaming into the sky.

"Huh?"20 murmured.He had sensed Freiza's signal.That device he put in him, a tracking device so they could fight as a tag team, and find each other if they got lost...
"Yes...but I do not sense his father..."he paused, "What?!"he cried.Gohan's power level had just doubled, but now what slowly decreasing."Freiza...is he okay...what's going on?"
20 turned around fully in the forest."He's still there...I guess the boy stopped him, too...I think if we work together, we shall defeat Goku"
20 began to run towards Freiza's signal.

"Yeah!Alright!"Krillin cried, dashing forward.
"Thanks, Krillin"Trunks said, slotting his sword into it's sheath."But he's not destroyed.I dont think I had the time or energy for that"
"Jeez..."Krillin whispered."Well, what next?"
"I think we finish what we started.Let's get Goku into the ship.Krillin, Gohan?"he asked.
They nodded, and went to fetch Goku.Trunks followed, and the three of them went into the room with Goku in.
"Oh...Krillin, Gohan!"she cried.
"This is Goku's wife.Say hello"Krillin whispered to Trunks.
"Oh, hello"he said, blushing.She was very, very beautiful, he thought....
"Well how was it?Where is Freiza?And the androids?Did I imagine it?"she asked.
"No, you didnt, just get in the ship and we'll explain it all"Krillin replied.Gohan held his father's arms, well Krillin held the feet, Trunks dragging a matress and cover outside. Chi-Chi, meanwhile, collected together some of here most beloved items, and took them outside.When everyone was ready, Trunks pulled out a capsule and threw it to the ground, sending out a large Capsule Corp. ship.
Krillin, Chi-Chi and Gohan proceeded to take everything into the ship, while Trunks accidently began to daydream.Ox-King appeared, and he too began to help.
He looked down the valley at the back of the house, and saw Android 20 running up.Before Trunks could react, the android ran through him.Following him came Freiza and his father.Again, Trunks became non-existent.He was slightly confused, as then, 16 ran up.
Followed by him came 17 and 18.The two androids stopped in front of him.17 lifted up his hand, a gun in it.As the shot was fired, Trunks burst out of his dream.
"Ugh..."he gasped, turning.At that moment, a small figure in the sky landed beside the ship.
"Hey!Guys!"he shouted, "It's me!"
"Yamcha!"Krillin exclaimed, dropping Goku's lower half.Trunks came to replace him and help Gohan load him inside the ship, "Whats up?How are things going with you and Piccolo?"
"Ahh, not to good...we couldnt find the androids.I thought, it'd be better if we let them come to us, and we protect Goku, right?"
"Yeah"Krillin agreed.
Chi-Chi, carrying her most valued items, entered the ship.Ox-King, carrying some of his own things and lots of food, entered after her.
"Come on, guys!"Gohan shouted from inside.
"Oh, right"Krillin murmured.He and Yamcha dashed inside, and the ship's door closed.
"Okay!"Chi-Chi started, "I want the full story!From all of you!"
Trunks smiled at her.
"Yeah, I think there's stuff we all need to know"Krillin said.
And so they began...Gohan told of Freiza and King Cold, Yamcha explained how they nearly caught the androids, and Trunks, Krillin and Yamcha explained all that Gohan had missed.And inadvertedly, Goku as well.Through his dreams, he had roughly absorbed this information into his subconcious, resulting in violent dreams of the android's destruction.

Meanwhile, 17 and the others had stopped off at a small store in the middle of nowhere for 18 to pick some new clothes, but they were all country ones.
"This country crap..."18 murmured, showing the clothes to the mirror.
"What?"the storeowner asked.
"Nothing"18 replied."Okay, show me your most expensive items"
The storeowner went away and then came back a few minutes later with some cow-leather suit.
"1,200 Zennie"he announced.
"Heh!"18 laughed, "It's pathetic...."
"Well!It's my best item in stock!If you dont like it you can get out!"
"Sure..."18 murmured, walking out and back into the car.
"Picked up anything?"17 asked.
"Does it look like it?"she snapped.
"Girls, so fickle..."
Revving up the engine, 17 drove the car away.

Tien reached Master Roshi's place.
"Tien!"Roshi cried."What are-?"
"Tien!It's you!"Chaotzu cried.He ran forward, jumped up and hugged him.
"Hi, Chaotzu..."
"The androids...w-w-what happened?"Oolong asked.
"Trunks and Krillin will be arriving here soon...they'll explain everything"
"Tien?"Chaotzu asked worridly.
"Yeah...we were beaten pretty bad.So I'm taking you with me to resume our training...and this time, we'll need you to fight too"
"Yay!"Chaotzu joyfully shouted.
"Well, c'mon"
And so he and Chaotzu blasted off towards their secluded forest training position.

After reaching the clothes shop, Piccolo finally accepted defeat.
"Look"he said to Diordna, "I dont think we're going to find them..."
"Dont tell me your giving up hope too!"Diordna cried.
"I'm afraid we're going to have to face it..."he replied."But...well, I think have an idea to vastly improve our strength in a short amount of time...did Dr.Gero programme...I mean"
Diordna looked quizzically at him, and he continued quickly, "Are you able to get stronger by training?And do you mind being alone for a long while?"
"Yes...we had to get used to that.If we got lost we could have to wait for days until we were sure the androids were gone"
"Well this is going to be a bit more than that...I know it'll be leaving Goku alone, but I'm afraid it's our only option.Come with me, and I'll explain all"
Piccolo blasted off, and reluctantly, Diordna followed.
"Well, what is it?"Diordna asked, catching up.
"We're heading for Kami's lookout.Have you ever heard about that place?"
"No, why?"
"Well..."Piccolo began his tale of Kami's lookout, and everything that had happened there, and the amazing training you can get there."Yeah, one perticular place is the hyperbolic time chamber, in which you can get a year's worth of training in a day"
"A...really?"Diordna asked in surprise.
"Yes, and we're almost here..."
"So how does it work?"
"Well, we go into a room, which is a portal into another dimension.In this dimension, a year in it's time equals one day in ours.And the gravity is ten times heavier...I'm sure we could vastly improve our strength there, maybe enough so to defeat the androids!"
"D'you think?"he asked.That would be amazing!I could save my own time as well as this...and avenge your death, father...
Piccolo and Diordna landed upon Kami's lookout, ready to take any type of training that came their way.
"Piccolo, it's you!"Kami cried."Come...I know what is on your mind..."
"Then no delays"Piccolo snapped.
"Right"he replied, nodding.Diordna looked between them, Knows what is on his mind...?
Kami led the two of them towards the hyperbolic time chamber, and opened the door.
"This is it"he announced.Piccolo walked into the whiteness.
"It's..."Diordna began.The image of his father flashed through his mind, and he walked in.Then, Kami closed the door and looked gravely to the sky.
Please, do hurry, Piccolo...I dont think we have any more time...and I'm not talking about the androids...

"And so that's the whole thing?"Chi-Chi clarified with Yamcha, Krillin, Trunks and Gohan, who all nodded."Good, right"
"That's one story!"Ox-King exclaimed.
"Yes...and now were outmatched.Not by numbers, but by the android's pure strength..."Trunks told them.
"They're that strong?"Gohan asked in disbelief.
"Mmmm..."Trunks murmured gravely, looking out the large window.
"Yeah...but once your dad recovers, I'm sure the odds will be in our favour!"Krillin shouted gleefully.
"No...from what I saw, I dont think even Goku's power could get us outta this one..."Yamcha murmured.Everyone hung their heads.
"Yamcha!You should be ashamed, saying such a thing!"Chi-Chi cried.Trunks smiled at her, and the image of his mother flashed there.
"No, I'm afraid he's right.This situation is only temporary...but I'm sure when Goku gets better, he'll know what to do"Trunks told her.
"Trunks, you know, are the androids really all that bad?"Krillin asked.
"Huh?"Trunks asked, dazed.Did he just ask that..."Krillin of course they are!They're creatures of hate, malicious machines of brutal terror...I cant describe them other than monsters.Monsters who kill and destroy for pleasure...and..."
Trunks looked out of the window...and suddenly he was looking up to the light in his hovel.His underground home...he turned to see a woman holding her crying child.
Yes, Kilya's father had died recently...androids.Trunks turned back into the blackness and began to walk towards his time machine at the end of their muddy, dark, underground corridor.He saw the crying people, and then the sick people, and then the dead people....yes, they didnt have the resources, time or space to bury people... decomposing people, skeletons.The corridor became darker...that's what it was for Trunks.There was fear, then sickness, then darkness...then...
The androids appeared.
"Hello, Trunks"17 said.
"Yes, It's...so nice to see you..."18 agreed.
17 held up his hand, smirking.A ball of energy appeared in it, and fired towards Trunks...
"Trunks!"Krillin cried.
"Huh?Oh..."Trunks murmured, turning to them, sweating heavily.
"Are you feeling okay?"Gohan asked.
"Yeah, I'm..."he replied."I was thinking"he continued, "Since we're so overwhelmed, how about I go back in time and destroy Dr.Gero before he creates the androids?It shouldnt be too hard since I know where his lab it shouldnt be too hard"
"That's a great idea!Could I come with you?"Yamcha asked.
"I dont know if my machine will be big enough for us both"Trunks laughed.
"Hey, Trunks, didnt you say your time machine only had energy for one trip?"
"I dont get it..."Gohan murmured."When you go back in time and kill him will the androids cease to exist?I mean, will they just disappear?"
"Huh?"Krillin murmured.
"No!He's absolutely right!What was I thinking!My actions wouldnt change anything..."
"What?"Yamcha asked.
"I'd never be able to get home with the low energy for one...look, I can only change one future, not both"
"How does that work out?"Krillin asked him.
"Well, let's say that there are two futures.In one, Goku survives, which is this era for the time being...the other is my time.Where he's not so lucky...and then we have Diordna's time, which is completely different.Everyone's dead, there..."
"So how many dimensions are there?"Yamcha asked him.
"Dont ask me"Trunks said, "It's complicated.But there is supposedly an infinite number of dimensions, each one with a different reality.One could be extremely slight, say, Goku has an extra line of hair.In others, for example, I could be a fish....there is many possiblities"
"So...why did you come here in the first place...I mean, if you could only change one dimension...?"
"My....my mother..."he murmured."It was my mother's idea, mainly, and grandfather before he passed away...she envisaged a time were everyone was happy and peaceful.Her primary goal was for me to find the key to defeating the androids, maybe some weakness in the past.Her secondary goal was for me to help that time out...to give peace to as many people as possible...but I also had my own desires.I wanted to see my father...I wanted to get to know him..."
"There isnt much to know"Yamcha murmured.
"Yamcha!"Chi-Chi hissed.
"No...no your right..."Trunks murmured.He saw his arrogant father...not at all as he was described...
"Well, Goku's alive!And I'm glad for that....that's really all that matters"
Trunks looked to her and his mother appeared again.He smiled yet again, and a deep admiration and love developed for her.Yes...like his mother, yet...

Tien sat floating under a waterfall, his legs and arms folded, his eyes closed.
Chaotzu watched, kicked and punching into the air.The cold water flowed onto him, so cold it was painful.But Tien endured...
He's so focused...amazing...Chaotzu thought.It's unfair...Piccolo and Goku hardly work like he does, but they're so strong!
Chaotzu stopped and turned fully to him, Come on Tien, I know you can do it!If you try hard enough, anything is possible...

20 met up with Freiza, finally, at the edge of the jungle.
"Freiza?Are you functional?"he asked.
Freiza stood, a great gash showing some of his internal components."Freiza..."20 gasped.
"I'm fine..."he replied."I was never given any pain circuits, remember?"
"Right"20 nodded."But...how did this happen?"
"The boy...when he gets angry he lashes out.We've got to take him out before we can get his father"
"Or we could get them apart..."20 replied."Did the boy take you on alone?If so, then we're done for!"
"I dont know...he had some friends to help him...that's the only reason he won"
"Where are they now?"20 asked, looking up and squinting.
"They took off in a spaceship to hide Goku..."
"Dammit!"20 snapped."Wait..."he scanned his mind, "Their probable destination would be the residence of Bulma Briefs..."
"Well then come on!"Freiza cried.

Many hours passed.16, 17 and 18 drove for Goku's house, Dr.Gero and Freiza met up with each other and then proceeded to fly towards Bulma's house, Trunks and the others reached Master Roshi's place, Piccolo and Diordna came ever closer to the end of their 24 hour training session.Goku slowly recovered, Tien and Chaotzu trained intensely, and a large creature in the middle of the forest, with his servant beside him, had just 24 hours until he transformed into his Imperfect form.
It was like the androids had appeared all over again.Freiza and Dr.Gero landed down at the entrance to the vast capsule corperation building.
"We dont want to draw too much attention to ourselves"Dr.Gero whispered.
"Well look at me!"Freiza snapped."I've got this great metal gash in my face and I'm purple..."he muttered sarcastically.
"Steal some clothes"20 told him.Freiza found a man in a suit and hat.He lurched for him before he could enter the building, silently broke his neck, dragged him behind the entranceway, and stole his clothes.He then walked back to Dr.Gero, and all that was visible was a white face.
"Good"20 told him.They walked into the building, and as they did, the man's breifcase opened up slightly, and it was found to be bulging with cash.A single note blew high into the air, as Freiza and Dr.Gero reached the secretarys desk.To each side of her there was a lift, and directly behind her, too.
"Business or Visitor?"she asked.
"Business..."20 muttered."We are looking for the office of Dr.Briefs"
"Mr.Breifs?Today is his day off.Mr.Clarkit is taking over for today"
"Where may I locate Dr.Breifs?"he asked.
"I dont know..."she told him.20 put his hand over her large desk and grabbed her neck."Tell me"
"He is at home...at the back of here...take the lift behind me to-"20 threw her against the wall, smashing it sending cracks running through.20 kicked in her large surrounding desk, and walked to the lift at the back, followed by Freiza.They got in and took themselves to the highest floor.
They walked out into Mr.Clarkit and Dr.Breif's huge offices.They had a joint office, one man's supercomputer each side.Mr.Clarkit was sitting at his desk.
"Yes, can I help you?"he asked.Why didnt my secretary tell me I had guests....
"No, you cannot"20 told him.He fired a small ball of energy, which was enough to throw him back into his supercomputer.It rocked, then fell down onto the floor, smashing itself up, instantly killing him.They walked to the lift at the opposite end of the room, entered it and took it down to Dr.Breif's house.
"It sure is hard to get to"Freiza murmured.
20 nodded.The lift reached the ground floor, and Dr.Breif's home.
"Yes, we are here"Dr.Gero said.He trotted forward, and met with Yadjirobe.
"Huh?"Yadjirobe mumured, his mouth stuffed with cake.
"Where is Goku, Yadjirobe?"he asked the portly man.
"Goku?Um...he...arghlm...ughlm...he's...oghlm...I dunno"
"Arr..."20 growled.He picked up Yadjirobe by the neck and asked him again, "Where is Goku?"
"Hey I dunno!"he cried, dropping his food.20 angrily threw him into the wall, crashing through a row of computers lined up, sending him sliding across the smooth floor.
The automatic doors opened and Dr.Breifs himself came in.
"Yadjirobe?"he asked.
"Yadjirobe is indisposed"Dr.Gero told him, "Now where is Goku?"
"Goku..he's er...I dont know..."Dr.Breifs told him.
"We know that you, your daughter and your wife have strong ties with Goku.We know he would have come to you for help, so, where is he?"
"Ah..."Breifs gulped.

The phone rang at Master Roshi's place.
Master Roshi picked it up."Hello?"he asked.
"Roshi...eh...I need your help...some people have showed up asking for Goku..."
"They have?!"he cried."How many?"
"Yeah...two...I think they're those androids...please...they're going to destroy everything...uhh..."he groaned.
"Right"Roshi murmured.He placed the phone down on it's hook.
"Who was that?"Yamcha asked.
"It was Dr.Breifs...he sounds like he's in trouble...the androids are there!"
"The androids?"Trunks whispered.
"Oh my gosh!"Gohan cried.
"Ah...my grandfather and grandfather are there...my mother is there...I'M THERE!"Trunks shouted.
"Now let's not panic, I dont think they are 16, 17 and 18"Roshi said.
"Huh?"Chi-Chi murmured.
"No..."Master Roshi began, sitting down, "He said only two people had showed up..."
"But they could have split up"Gohan said.
"But then, how would 17 and 18 find Capsule Corp?"Roshi asked.
"Well it's not exactly hard, is it?!"Trunks cried,"Besides, they could be programmed with locations of all of Goku's residences"
"Look were wasting time here!"Yamcha shouted, a white aura burning around him, "Arghhh!"he screamed, and he blasted off out of the door.
"Oh.."Chi-Chi gasped.
"Yamcha wait!"Trunks cried.
"No!"Roshi shouted, grabbing his arm, "We've got to protect Goku, now...Yamcha can handle himself"
Trunks looked down at the floor in dismay, and walked out into the sand surrounding Roshi's, looking up to Yamcha as he disappeared from veiw.
Protect her, Yamcha...and dont die yourself...
