Reborn As Vegeta - Chapter 22 And So It Begins
The Z fighter held out as long as he could, right up until his body could no longer stand the pain and started to break down. His bones began to snap and multiple blood vessels started to pop across the surface of his skin, letting go of the Kaio-Ken, Krillin fell backward into the sand before saying, “I could only maintain it for 10 minutes this time, two minutes longer than before.”
Krillin then used his Ki to swallow a Sensu Bean, “If I were a Saiyan, I would have gotten a Zenkai Boost from this,” Krillin said as he jumped up, he was about to begin training to control 100 Times Kaio-Ken when he noticed something that was pulled in to the island’s shore by the disturbance he made in the ocean.
Krillin immediately flew over and lifted the two floating bodies out of the water, Krillin could help but notice how beautiful and handsome his rescuees` were, shaking off his infatuated expression, Krillin placed them on the ground and checked their pulse.
“Odd, I can’t sense any Ki coming from them, but they are still alive. How did you two get all the way out here?”
He fed them a Sensu Bean, as Krillin used his Ki to force them to swallow the pill, an amazing series of circumstances occurred inside their bodies.
The Bio-Organic Reactor started to repair itself from their augmented cellular structure; like it was filling in a missing blueprint, the Infinite Energy Reactor not only repaired itself, but the Sensu Bean’s regeneration created a second reactor where the bombs were supposed to be.
The two opened their eyes at the same time and jumped up, “Whoa easy there!” Krillin said still placing his hands up, “I found you two floating in the ocean, how did you end up out here?”
Lazuli looked over to her brother and gave him a hug, “I thought you were dead.”
Lapis scratched his head, “How? I know that he stole I.E.R from our bodies. I thought we were going to die, we should have died.”
Krillin looked a little jealous of how close the two seemed and coughed before saying, “I healed you two with a Sensu Bean, whatever damage you received regardless of how severe the wound, as long as you still have a breath of life in you, the Sensu Bean will bring you back to full health.”
The two were surprised by this, their eyes widened, Lazuli stood up and walked towards Krillin and said, “You saved us?”
Krillin nodded his head, Lazuli then leaned her head in and gave him a kiss on the cheek, “Thanks cutie!”
Krillin’s face turned bright red, “Isn’t your boyfriend right there?”
Lazuli frowned, “He’s my twin brother.”
Krillin paused, he didn’t know why, but he felt extremely happy at the moment, “Ah…I’m sorry, I misread the situation.”
Lapis walked up to Krillin and asked, “Why did you save us, we are complete strangers, and why would you waste such a precious medicine on us?”
Krillin showed a confused expression and then one like he was trying to think real hard, he then let out a sigh before saying, “Do you really need a reason to help someone in need? I don’t know you or your stories, but I didn’t sense any malicious intent coming from either of you, so it’s better just to do the right thing.”
The two blinked at him with wide eyes, Lapis then started to laugh, “What if we were murders or bandits?”
Krillin grinned and said, “I may not look it, but I’m a martial artist; and a pretty strong one at that.”
“Martial Arts?” Lazuli said lifting a brow.
“Krillin what’s with all the commotion out here?” Master Roshi popped his head outside to see the two guest on his island, at first he was surprised because he couldn’t sense their Ki, but then all of his logical thinking went out the window once he saw Lazuli.
“What a pretty lady! Krillin why didn’t you let them inside!” Master Roshi looked over Lazuli with lustful eyes hidden behind his glasses.
Krillin sighed, “I beg you to forgive his attitude, he’s a pervy old man, but he is a martial arts genius, and has a heart of gold.”
“My heart is Pink you moron!” Roshi shouted as he walked back inside.
The two Androids or rather Cyborgs had never been treated so kindly in their entire lives, they were at a bit of a loss on what to do.
Krillin then invited them in to eat breakfast, he asked where they came from, but they stayed silent.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk right now,” Krillin sat down and joined them to eat, “My names Krillin,” he then paused before asking, “What are your names?”
“Eightee…No, my name is Lazuli, and this is my brother Lapis.”
Krillin smiled and held out his hand, “It’s a pleasure to meet you two.”
For the next few days, Krillin continued to unknowingly deepen his friendship with the Androids that were supposed to be the scourge of humanity.
However, in this timeline, it appeared as if they had taken a different path since they had nowhere to go they were allowed to stay at Kame-Island and were given a home, something they never had before.
As the two rested in a shared room, Lapis was staring at the roof from the floor and said, “Hey, sis, what do we do with ourselves now?”
Lazuli rolled over on the bed and said, “Whatever we want, that Android didn’t just absorb the bombs, but all the mental restrictions and fail-safes that bastard put in us as well. We’re free now, we can do whatever we want.”
“I’m thinking about being a park ranger, you know, the ones that protect monster species,” Lapis said pulling the blankets up.
“You always did like collecting weird things when we were kids. But monsters are living beings too, and not all of them are violent.” Lazuli said as she recalled her childhood memories at their orphanage.
Without, Gero’s equipment interfering with their minds, they had recovered what little memories they had.
“What about you, Lazuli? What do you want to do?” Lapis questioned.
“I don’t know yet.” She said staring out the window.
*************
Back on planet Salada’s training grounds, Vegeta and Goku were in the middle of fighting in their base forms when Trunks and Goten showed up, “Check it out, Dad!” The two shouted before transforming into Super Saiyan 3s’.
Vegeta and Goku smiled and applauded them, the two little Saiyans looked at each other and jumped at their fathers, Goku and Vegeta smiled as they rose their open palms and blocked their children’s fists.
The two were blown back, Goten and Trunks had been training as hard as they could and managed to raise their power levels to around 500 Million in their base forms, giving them a power level of 150 Billion in their Super Saiyan 3 forms.
Vegeta and Goku transformed into Super Saiyans and started to doge everything Goten and Trunks threw at them, Goku and Vegeta had continued to train as hard as they could in their base forms and managed to bring their power levels from 4.5 Billion up to 5 Billion.
In their regular Super Saiyan form, the two boasted a power level of 250 Billion.
The two little 5-year old Saiyans continued to attack with everything they had, however, no matter how hard they tried, Goten and Trunks couldn’t land a single punch on their fathers.
The two jumped back and Goten shouted, “Let’s do our special technique Trunks!”
Trunks nodded his head and the two started to power up, Trunks’s used his newly created technique, the Burning Galic Gun, while Goten used his new technique, the Spiral Kamehameha, the two attacks inflated their Ki by 2.5 times giving their attacks a power level of 350 Billion, once the blasts merged it shot up to 700 Billion.
Vegeta and Goku grinned, they transformed into Super Saiyan 3’s and flicked the blast apart with air force created by their action, with a power level of 1.5 Trillion, the boys didn’t stand a chance.
The two powered down and shouted, “So what did you think.”
“You made your own version of the Galic Gun, I’m impressed.” Vegeta patted his son on the head and ruffled up his hair.
Trunks blushed and ran his finger across the tip of his nose and said, “Nah, it wasn’t much!”
Goku picked Goten up and said, “That was amazing, you added rotation into the Kamehameha! How you think of that?”
“I got the idea from watching Uncle Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon, I still have a lot to work on,” Goten replied.
Vegeta and Goku praised their children when a 2-year-old Bra appeared and shouted, “Papa!” as she glomped herself to Vegeta’s side.
Vegeta hugged his daughter and said, “If it isn’t my little princess.”
Goten then scratched his head and said, “You know what? I if Vegeta is the King of Planet Salada, and my Grandpa is the Ox King, doesn’t that make us princes too?”
Vegeta paused, Goku tilted his head and said, “I guess that makes me Prince Goku!”
Vegeta was struggling internally, “That son of… Touche Toribot, I completely forgot about that.”
Vegeta laughed and said, “I guess it does.” He then turned to Bra and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Mom says that the Androids are supposed to arrive today.” Bra answered.
“Where is your mother?” Vegeta asked.
“Talking with grandma and grandpa!” Bra responded while enjoying Vegeta’s affection.
They were about to leave when everyone felt Gohan’s power suddenly surge wildly, they saw Gohan transforming into a Golden Oozaru through the use of the Training Ground’s Moons.
Gohan roared at the moon as his body started to deflate and compress into his Super Saiyan 4 form, Gohan recovered his mind as he appeared as the 4th Saiyan to reach this form.
Bardock who was coaching Gohan smiled as he stood his mastered Super Saiyan form and said, “How do you feel Gohan?”
Gohan looked at his miniature Super Saiyan 4 body and laughed, “This power is amazing and so easy to maintain too!”
Gohan had worked tirelessly in order to achieve this form, anytime he was given homework he used the Training Grounds to finish an entire year worth of studying less than a single day, after finishing his work, he focused on training with his family.
Gohan’s current base power level was 4 Billion, giving him a power level of 48 Trillion as a Super Saiyan 4.
Bardock’s base had risen up to 4.7 Billion, and his Super Saiyan 4 power level was at 56.4 Trillion.
Gohan powered down and thanked his grandfather before running over to his father and shouting, “Did you see that dad!”
Goku nodded his head and gave Gohan a hug while lifting him up, “I’m so proud of you son!”
Gohan laughed before Vegeta gave his congratulations as well, Trunks and Goten buzzed around him and said, “Just wait until we achieve that form as well!”
“You still have to master Super Saiyan 3 before you attempt to access this form.” Gohan laughed as he played the stronger older brother part well.
After leaving the Training Grounds, everyone met up with their family and said goodbye as the headed to earth, all the Z fighters ended up at the edge of West City, according to Trunks the Androids would attack the city in a mere hour from now.
Vegeta told the rest to scout out the city and to raise their Ki once they located the Androids, after a few hours of searching Krillin noticed a strange round man with pale white skin and a Red Ribbon logo on his chest, walking next to him was a youthful looking man with long white hair, he was also wearing the same uniform as the round one.
Krillin immediately spiked up his Ki and notified everyone, Vegeta and Goku were the first to arrive, using their instant transmission, they appeared beside Krillin and were notified of the Android’s location.
