The Android Saga Revisited

Chapter Four:Goku and Trunks on the run!

Gohan landed outside the Capsule Corperation and scanned the scene.
There were police and armed forces lying dead on the ground everywhere and flames burned through wreckage lying beside a hole blown through a wall which four soldiers lay dead on the floor.Gohan stepped in,ready to inflate his power level if any danger presented itself.
There was an explosion.Gohan jumped to avoid a burst of flames and ran lightly.He spotted Dr.Breifs and Mrs.Breifs squatting beside some rubble.He peered round the corner to see Kajumi blasting randomly.An explosion blew through the wall,knocking the Breifs onto the ground.
Gohan whipped around and ran over to Mr.Breifs.
"Are you okay?We'd better get you out of here!"he whispered.
He turned and crouched beside Mrs.Breif.
She had blood seeping out of her head and she could barely keep her eyes open.
"Leave me Gohan,my time is short..."
"NO!"Dr.Breifs shouted.
"..goodbye..."she whispered,and her eyes closed.
"Quickly,do you have a capsule of an aircraft on you?"Gohan asked.
"Yes,but-"
"Go,I'll hold them of!"Gohan yelled,as the capsule burst open.Breifs was reluctant."GO!"Gohan yelled,just as Kajumi and Kasama burst through the wall.The ship blasted out and off into the sky.
"Garghhh!"Kajumi shreiked.
"You insolent brat!"Kasama shouted.He tugged at Mrs.Breif's body lightly.She was buried under quite some rubble."I guess"she continued calmy but deadly,"that a silly little boy with his silly little powers can get away with murder"
She landed beside him.Gohan noticed that she was only a year or so older than him.He glared at her.
"Your not so old yourself"he said,tugging a little more forcefully at the body.
"aheheah..."she smiled at him,then kissed him on the cheek."Good luck little boy.Trunks is not here"
"Thanks..."he mumured,pulling the body out,and his Saijin instincts burst recklessly out of him and he snarled,"For nothing!"
He jumped into the air with the body and fired a large Massenko attack which blew away some rubble.Kajumi strode out of the dust cloud and punched him.He shot through the air and crashed into a building and fell to the ground with chinks of rubble fall down.Mrs.Breifs was propped up against the wall,whimpering.
"Oh look,the old hag is still alive.What do you make of it sister?"Kajumi asked,smirking at the two figures.
Kasama walked,almost unscathed,out of the cloud of dust.
"Dont touch her!"Gohan half-shouted,trying to regain his voice.He knew what was coming.He struggled to his feet,his arms dangling foolishly from his body.He wiped away a trickle of blood from his mouth with his knuckle.
"Hes trying to act tough,sis"Kajumi sneered.
"He proved himself to me"Kasama said,almost acknowledging his strength.
"What are you saying?Not tough enough to handle the little brat?"Kajumi asked,taken aback."Ahh well"she said,turning around after surveying the ashamed face,looking at Gohan with a hand on her hip."Its time for you to meet your maker,brat"she growled.
Fear flooded Gohan and locked him to the spot.
"er..ah..."he mumbled.
"Dont tell me your frightened,kid"she said,jumping high into the air and landing in front of him."Your not,are you?"
Gohan stumbled back and pressed up against the wall.
"So..."Kajumi whispered,"Your scared out of your weak,pathetic wits and are at my mercy"
She turned and pointed her hand at him.It opened up to reveal a purple ball glowing in her palm.It touched his face and he knew that if she fired he would have little chance of surviving.He began to sweat,his eyes reflecting the purple energy.
Suddenly Kajumi looked upwards and fired her attack at something beyond Gohan.Whatever it was,Gohan didnt have time to work out.
He grabbed Mrs.Breifs and ran through a set of buildings like he had never done before.He stopped near a small bunker entrance,and peered round it.He could see that three figures had landed.He didnt recognise them,and couldnt sense their power levels.
"Who are you?!"Kajumi cried,looking at a tall boy with black hair and a beautiful female with blonde.A towering figure beside them looked unintrested,and Gohan could only see the back of him and his matt of red hair,because he quickly turned and sat down.
"Dont break a sweat,little girl"17 said,flicking her hair out of her eyes for her.
"I'm no little girl you freak!"she shouted.Gohan chuckled at the irony of it.
"So little girly,know where Goku is?"he asked.
Her eyes flashed red.
"An android,eh?"18 muttered,staring up at 17.
"He is in my computer databanks,yes.I have his profile an information.Is he alive?"
"To my knowledge,Goku is alive"16 told them.
Kasama landed lightly behind her sister,staying quiet.
"In our time Goku is dead"she explained.
"Your from the future?"17 asked,suprised.He turned to the others,adding,"An android from the future!"
"We are looking for Trunks Briefs"Kasama told him.
"Who?"17 muttered distractedly.
"He is not within my databanks"16 interjected.
"Thanks for that,big guy"18 muttered,slightly embarrased.
"Well were looking for Goku.Sorry to have troubled you anyways"17 mumured.
"Say what?"18 whispered loudly as 17 made to leave."Your going to let them leave?"
"What are you saying,bitch?"Kajumi interrupted,angrily.
"You silly girl be quiet"18 ordered.
"Goku has changed location.He is rising in the air.He is approxomately 30,000ft in the air"16 said.
17 and 18 turned to him.
"Where is he headed?"17 asked.
"It seems he is heading home"16 replied."But I am not-"
"Thats enough talking for today 16"17 said confidentally,"You may blow your speech circuits.Come on,lets find go find Goku"
18 walked away and blasted off into the air,glaring at Kajumi as she did so.
17 smiled and winked at Kajumi and walked off himself.
16 stared long into the sky,unmoving,then finally moved away himself.Kajumi and Kasama watched him away.
"Come on lets continue"Kasama said,walked away.She stopped and turned,looking at her sister.Kajumi was smiling and her eyes glittered.
"Dont tell me you actually charmed by that slimeball"Kasama said.
Gohan decided that he had had enough,and went off to find the others.

The yellow ship sailed through the air,gliding majestically upwards.Inside the ship things were not so majestical.
Goku's makeshift bed had crashed into the wall and he was writhing,coughing and spluttering,on the floor,unable to be moved.Yamcha could not concentrate on planning his next move and Chi-Chi was by Goku's side,weeping uncontrollably,making it even worse,with poor old Ox-King driving the ship-something he was not so good at-but it was easy for him as all he had to do was soar upwards as an onscreen map provided by Bulma,who was feeding a crying,moaning Trunks.Yadjirobe just sat and grunted,paying no attention to anything.
"Were closing in"Ox-King announced with his rasping voice.
Not far behind Dr.Breifs was following them,and behind him was Gohan,carrying Mrs.Breifs.He had quite a lot to tell them,and he knew that Bulma would be sad.He chased the ship above,a new speed in him.He looked up.It was Korin's place.
He landed and looked around.Korin was staring down the other side.
"Hey,Korin!"Gohan called,letting the body to the floor.
"Why hello Gohan!"he called back,sweeping across the floor towards him."Troubles are afoot,below"
"I know"Gohan agreed.They walked to the edge together and stared over,casually stepping over Mrs.Breifs body."I've fought against them"
"I see"Korin said."I believe right now Vegeta is making that same move..."he commented,staring down at something beyond Gohan.

17,18 and 16 landed,on 17's orders,on a small mountainous highway.
"Lets catch a ride"17 mumured forcefully.
"My sensors indicate public transport timetab-"16 began,but he was cut across by the fall of a nest from a cliff just above the road.It tipped over an three bird's eggs began to fall.16 quickly caught them,and the nest,and laid them down carefully by the roadside.
"Look"17 said,pointing at 16 and smirking,"The big guy's playing midwife"
"Here comes a truck"18 noted flatly.
It was a big tanker.17's eyes lit up.But before he could do anything a chink of rubble fell from the same cliff as the nest.16 looked up,and saw a dark brown boot pointing off the edge.He looked down as one of the eggs cracked and a beak smashed out.
17 turned back to the road.The tanker had stopped inches from him.He glared maliciously at it.
"Whats the hold up?"the driver asked,poking his head out the window.One shot from 17's finger through the man's head made him fall out.17 hopped in,and saw his sister staring up the cliff.Then he spotted it.
"Vegeta,eh?"he mumured,looking.
He landed in front of 18,looking extremely confident and smirking.
"So,android,you decided to run without leaving me a note?"he asked.
18 said nothing,but growled."Lets say we take this outside"
"We are outside,pretty girl.I'd say that old man programmed you wrong.Your street speech is a little off"he reached out his hand but 18 knocked it away.
"So,Vegeta,would you like to play with me?"She enticed.
"16!"17 shouted over to the android,startling Vegeta,"come here,were going for a ride!"
16 flew up to the clifftop and put back the nest and went over to the truck.
18 jumped on the roof and the truck began to move.Vegeta followed.
"Vegeta your strength is not what you think it is"she said,folding her arms.They turned and just missed a drop down the steep cliff-face.
Ahead of them was a small town.
"I'll let you make the first move,android.I suppose your nuts and bolts wont hold out long enough for you to do punch else when I've had my turn"Vegeta told her confidently.
18 made to punch Vegeta but he dodged easily and drove his fist into her back.She was smashed into the roof.
"Your making it to easy,android!"he called,rising into the air.18 grabbed his boot and pulled him back down.She fired a small blue beam at him which knocked him off the truck,and upon exploding,blew away most of the street.An avalanche took place.Everything began to slide down into the valley below.
"Thats the end of that fool..."18 muttered.She turned and was punched,very hard,in the middle of her face.The awesome shock of this threw her back into the cliff wall.Someone,with spikey golden hair and glinting green eyes stood before her.His Saijin armour was bulked up,the face was set in a tone of annoyed concentration.
18 pulled herself out of the cliff-face,looking angry as the truck moved steadily away.
He's stronger than I thought.Looks like I'll have to pull some of my own strings
She chased after it and jumped back onto the roof.Vegeta was standing smugly,his power soaring to new heights.

Trunk's landed beside Piccolo,Krillin,Chaotzu and Tien,and Piccolo began to speak.
"Okay,reveiw.We have six androids running about out there,Trunks,was it like this in your time?"he asked.
"No.."Trunks muttered gravely.A strange tune,the beat of someone's heart as the main rythm,started up.Trunks spoke so intently and seriously it would have convinced anyone that someone must have died."There were only two androids,and they were much weaker than they were in my time.I'm sure with my father's and your power you could have defeated them all if this was the same as my time.But this is beyond the slight change I expected"
"Thats not all"Tien mumured,just as grave."There are even more"
"What?"Trunks asked,startled.
"And its even more different and complicated"Krillin added.
"Tell us"Trunks and Chaotzu chorused.
"Well,just before we fought Dr.Gero and 19 these two girls showed up.About fifteen and thirteen I'd say"Piccolo began.
"They are from the future.They say in their time,your twenty five years old,and you rule the world"
"I WHAT??!!"Trunks yelled in astonishment.
"It's not like your evil in the future Trunks.Your strong,intelligent and a kind leader.You helped to restore the world back from the android's tyranny!"Krillin exclaimed.
"So..."Trunks whispered."Why did they come back in time?"
"They came back to kill you,Trunks.Being the leader of the world with your amazing status you cant have avoided making enemies.A scientist named Dr.Muto turned them into part androids and since they could not destroy you in your strong,smart age,they went back to kill you as a baby"Tien told him.
"What?"Chaotzu said,stupidly.
"Trunks,your born"Krillin said,sounding rather dumb."I mean,you have been born ju-"
"I get it,Krillin"Trunks said,smiling."Do you think they'd try to kill me in this body as well?"he asked.
"I think so.They'd probably kill both to be sure"Piccolo said.
"Thats good then"Trunks said,not in the least happy,but smiling anyway,"I'll make it my mission to protect myself.If they do succeed.then the world as I know it may never get better.I've made up my mind.I'm staying with you guys to stop those androids from making a copy of my own world and to stop them ruining any hope of my own!"he had risen unknowingly into a tirade,"So what do you suggest?"
"We should go after those girls first.They present immediate danger"Krillin said.
"Wait,I'm getting something!"Tien shouted.
"grah,me too!"Piccolo shouted.
"Its my father.He's trying to take on the androids alone!I wont let him!"Trunks shouted,and he blasted through the sky.
"Did he say...?"Krillin whispered.
"He's talking about Vegeta.Little Trunks is the same as big Trunks"Piccolo announced,and him and Tien flew off.
"Oh,I get it!"Chaotzu yelled,blasting away.
"Hey you guys,wait!"Krillin said after a few minutes,heading off himself too.

Androids 19,20 and 21 who had been going non-stop since 17's break out reached Goku's house.
"Its all I'd dreamed"20 mumured."I will finally get my revenge on the one that ruined me.."
19 smirked as they left 21 to guard the door.His green hair swept to the floor and whirled slighlty in the breeze.
19 went over to the other end of the house to see a small hill.Walking up he found that it led to a cliff and a large drop to a rocky river below.
20 looked around.The wind rattled through the house.The tablecloth fluttered but was kept down by many bowls of food.
There was a ringing and 20 turned to the phone.He stared apprehensively as it rang shrilly,then moved forward and picked it up.
"Chaotzu,Chaotzu,are you there?"the voice mumured in a rushed tone.
20 quickly made some calculations and using some in-built configuration changed his voice to Chaotzu's.
"Yeah,er,what is it?"he asked,trying best to retrive as much information on Chaotzu and what he was like as quickly as he could.
"I've got some news,and its important"the voice continued.20 found what he was looking for.He was speaking to Bulma.
"What is it?"he asked again in the squeaky tone that was Chaotzu.
"Have you told the others where Dr.Gero's lab was and done everything I asked?"she asked.
20 faltered."Yes"
"Good.We need you and the others up here with some more medicine,we think Yamcha has picked up the wrong bottle!"she shouted.
"What?Where?"he asked.
"Kami's tower.You know,up in the sky,up high!Just bring Goku's heart medicine before its too late!"she screamed,and with that 20 slammed down the phone.He looked on the table and saw in between the bowl's and plates a little glass bottle.The oppurtunity was to good to miss.
"19,we are leaving now!I have some good news!"he called,and walked out beside 21.
"What is it,docter?"21 asked,not taking his eyes off the top of the hills.
"Goku,I know where he is and he is in trouble.A heart disease.And I have the medicine!"
"Where is it?"19 asked.
"She said,'Kami's tower'"
"It is not far,approximately 45,000ft in the air,thirty-one miles east from here"21 told them.
"I programmed you better than I did myself!"20 yelled,gleefully."Let us away to Kami's lookout tower!"
They dashed a few feet then jumped into the air and away.

The ship landed on Kami's lookout.Goku was writhing and twisting,so they left him inside.
He snarled,growled and mumbled to himself,occasionally screaming.It was another nightmare.
He was in a completely black room.There was nothing holding him up,nowhere to walk.It could have been a few inches or an eternity wide.
There was a soft cackling.He looked up.Android 20 was descending upon him.
He braced himself."You'll never beat me,android!"he shouted.He turned around;he was there.He looked back.There were two of him.
Suddenly others came out of nowhere.He fired a few energy beams,but they came out only as his own blood.It drained his colour and energy.He couldn't stop,but neither could he continue.20 was laughing madly,and Goku kept on firing in his futile manner.Suddenly they all merged into one and kicked him.He went spinning down,down for what seemed like an eternity.He was in complete,white fog and it swirled menacingly around him.
"ah..ah..."he mumured.The temperature was deadly cold.19 came down on him.He punched,but 19 grabbed his arm and twisted it.He screamed as his broken arm lay still.With a wham he was smashed into a rock.He kept on firing,but he could see it was the end.
19 drove his arm into Goku's heart and ripped it out,blood was splashing everwhere,laughter was ringing in his ears.He screamed for the pain was unbearable.
He awoke.His eyes were dimly aware that he was underwater.
"glueger...glurgulblu..."be mumbled,the water seeping into his mouth.His half-open eyes darted about,wildly,as his chest throbbed.His heart seemed to be beating to fast.It was a pain an effort for it to just do that.He was Super Saijin.He knew that wouldn't help,but he hadn't any idea of how to stop it.Some kind of energy had been released that could not be contained.He was still falling,down into the dark depths.
A figure was seering towards him,but he couldn't make out who it was.He needed air.He began to drift into critical level,his brain bursting under the effort of controlling the body with little oxygen and blood.His heart was slowing down under the effort.He couldnt breath.He was going to die.
The figure came into veiw.It was Yamcha.But would be be able to get up in time?
Goku couldnt keep his eyes open any longer.His heart had nearly stopped beating.Everything seemed to be going much more slower than usual.Like a dying clock his heart beat loudly,but very slowly,echoing through the water.He needed oxygen despreatly.He was going to die.
His brain gave out and he went into a deep unconciousness.His lungs deflated and his heart stopped pumping.
Goku,the legendary Super Saijin,had died.

Vegeta,the other Super Saijin,was having more luck.18 teetered on the edge of the giant truck,as he dealt her another blow.Vegeta kicked her in the stomach and sent her flying off the truck again.She lay motionless on the floor,then groggily pulled herself to her feet.
"I hope weakness isnt mandatory with all your designs"Vegeta commented,turning away from her,"As I'll have no challenge with any of your other cronies..."
18 landed on the truck and lunged at Vegeta,but he drove his elbow into her stomach without even looking.She clutched it painfully and fell to her knee's.Vegeta turned and with his maximum power kicked her clean off right through some cliffs.They crumbled and in a heap of rocks,trees and soil fell down the valley.Vegeta turned again to see that they were entering the city.He punched his fist through the top of the truck.It went in between 16 and 17.They looked at each other,then it.
"Who's up there?"17 called.
Vegeta smashed his whole body through the top,shards of metal flying everywhere.
It was quite a sight to see them all sitting there,ignoring each other.
"So you defeated my sister?"17 asked.
"She was a pushover"Vegeta growled,watching 17 mow down a row of school children."I hope you dont fall so easily"
"Maybe you wont have to find out!"a voice called.18,her clothes ripped,was standing above,looking down.Vegeta jumped up and created another hole,and landed on the top to meet her.For a while they glared at each other,stationary in their menace.
Vegeta then made the first move,jumped and kicked her in the head.
Her head was cocked to one side,his foot going over her shoulder.She grabbed it,swung him round and threw him straight through a department store.Vegeta crashed through and arrived at the Television section.He looked down to see a small hole.The truck rolled by.
Vegeta,angry at his blunder,blasted after her and aimed a kick.With amazing force he headed for her,but she dodged.Vegeta swung, wide-eyed,into a rock face and smashed through it.18 followed and punched him in the stomach.She lifted into the air and fired down a large beam of energy.Vegeta was blasted across and samshed through the side of the truck that through all this was still chugging along.
18 landed beside him.She drove her boot into his stomach making him cough blood.She picked up his limp body and threw it away,firing a large energy attack to help.
"Tell me,Vegeta,what is it like to feel so much pain?"she called before racing away.

Yamcha got back to Kami's lookout and placed Goku down next to Mrs.Breifs.Bulma was crying and seeing Goku's body,Chi-Chi and Gohan started to cry as well.Yamcha brought out his senzu beans and tipped half down Goku's throat.He did the other half to Mrs.Breifs.
"There's a chance"Yamcha muttered."That they might pull through"
"Where to next,Yamcha?"Gohan asked between tears.
Chi-Chi looked horrified."Your not going ANYWHERE!"she screeched.
"I have to mom!"Gohan shouted.Chi-Chi lurched toward him but he moved away.
"Look,Gohan"she said,pleadingly,"I know you like to fight,but I dont want you falling behind on your studies...or your life"she made the smallest of inclinations towards Goku.
"SO YOU THINK I'LL JUST PLAY COWARD?!!"he screamed.
Kami and Popo were across the other side of the lookout,staring down.The shouting drifted too them.
"Its frightfully saddening to hear them bicker,Kami"Mr.Popo told him,looking over at Chi-Chi and Gohan.
"I know,Popo.Nothing good will come of these androids.I think we knew that from the beggining.I can see Piccolo,Tien,Chaotzu and Krillin going to face the androids now,with Trunks"
"That baby?"Popo asked.
"No,Mr.Popo,this Trunks is from the future.He will be an invaluable member of the Z team"Kami replied,turning and walking into the shadows as the heavy sun beat down on them."Mr.Popo I sense deep unrest within Piccolo.He will be coming to see me very shortly,with a terrible proposition..."
"What is it,Kami?"he asked.
"Not now,Popo,not now"Kami replied,shaking his hand."Wait!"he began again,quite loudly."The androids!"he shouted.
Just then android 19,20 and 21 arrived.
Bulma screamed and everyone turned.19 walked forward and punched Popo across the lookout.
20 walked up to Kami and fired a single beam from his hand,piercing his right side.
"ahh.....ahhh...."he mumured,and he fell down onto the floor.
"KAMI!"Yamcha shouted.21 stepped in front of 20,blocking Yamcha's path.
"Were outnumbered big time!What to we do?!"Gohan yelled.
Blood.DUM.Pump.DUM DUM.DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM.Goku's heart started its cycle again.Blood began to move through the veins,slowly at first.Goku regained his conciousness.He couldnt move anything;he could barely lift his eyelids.His whole body felt like lead weights wrapped in rubber.His heart took to priority and diverted as much blood as it could to the brain.Goku began to get a sense of self and where he was.He could hear shouting around him.He closed his swollen mouth.He could feel his numb arms and legs again.
His fingers and toes regained feel as well.He still couldnt move properly though.
Yamcha tried to punch 21 but he caught his fist and threw him back with it.
"Dont try that Yamcha"he said flatly,turning to Goku.
"He's going for Goku!"Yamcha muttered weakly,but 21 slammed his foot into Yamcha's chest,winding him.
Gohan was grappling with 20.19 and himself eyed Goku.
"I wont let you get my dad!"Gohan yelled.He jumped away from 20's onslaught and stepped over his father.
His face was set.The androids walked forward,Yamcha lying discarded a few feet away.
At that moment Goku stood.He grabbed Gohan and set him down again.
"Dad!"Gohan shouted happily.
"I think you should get back son"Goku said."Take everyone,get onto the ship and find Kami's house"Goku said.
Gohan didnt understand."Wha-"
"Kami's house"Goku repeated firmly.People were beggining to board.Gohan understood,and grabbed Yamcha and Kami as Popo and the others got on the ship.Gohan put them on board,staring at his father.
"Dad..."he whispered.
"Go"Goku said.
"You fell off the ship.Rolled right out!Bad nightmare!"Gohan said.
Goku smiled."Thanks,buddy"
He ruffled Gohan's hair."Now go"
Gohan walked away,looking at his father.The ship's doors began to close.Gohan was pulled in and saw no more of the outside world.
"So you androids have come for me"Goku said as the ship dropped off the edge."And you've found me"
"Take this,Goku!"20 said,throwing a small bottle into his hand.
"My medicine?"he asked."Why would you-"
"It wouldnt be a fair fight.Especially since were three and your one"Goku was amazed.20 was...smiling.
20 turned to face the skyline."I've been waiting for this moment for so long,Goku.The time that I would finally catch the boy that ruined it for me all those years ago...I thought that I would acheive my goal with an impenetrable army.MY army.Through scientific genius I had brought about the epitome of weapons and armed forces.I could have used it for defence,to attack an enemy,but no.I used them for only my own evil,selfish...foolish ambitions..."20 continued on his trip down memory lane.Goku was thrown totally off his guard.Was he serious?Did he really want to somehow rectify his evils?Or was he trying to capitalize on his own kindness?
"When you finally did defeat the army,however,I was left hopeless and heartless.Despair infested me.I was lost to my own hatrid and ambitions.
All I wanted for twenty years was to kill you.To hurt you like you hurt me.I went insane many times,trying and trying to create something that would defeat you once and for all.For years my life was spent in that laboratory,working,striving in the darkness,overcome by insanity"he had begun to pace,but stopped this."When I finally reached what I had acheived;myself and two more androids,17 and 18,I was horrified to see they rebelled against me and 19.So I built 21,the greatest fighter who would protect us and destroy you..."
"What a nice story..."Goku muttered.
"Goku...."20 said.He was staring at him very intently."I dont want to kill you anymore"
