Reborn As Vegeta - Chapter 23 Unexpected Turn Of Events
When Vegeta arrived alongside the rest of the Z fighters, he was surprised to see a much younger looking Dr. Gero, and a fat Android 19, that looked like the Android 1900 from dragon ball online, stood beside him, “Odd, is this the only change to be made by my interference. If this is all, then I really will be disappointed, hopefully, Cell will provide better entertainment.”
Vegeta targeted them with the Zoom spell as was about to send them away, when all of a sudden, his spell shattered as if it ran into a solid wall, a massive reaction occurred when Vegeta’s Mana crashed onto their skin, he was met interference and heavy resistance, whatever they were made of, gave them very high level of Magic Immunity.
Vegeta grinned and said, “Maybe this won’t be so bad.”
Landing down next to them Gero spotted his rival and grinned, “Ahh, Son Goku, we have been looking for you for some time now, so good of you to arrive, any longer and I would have started to blow this town to smithereens.”
Goku frowned, “So you must be the Androids,” Goku looked around at the people staring at them in wonder, after all, they all flew down from the sky.
“I understand you want revenge for the Red Ribbon Army, but not here, if you want a fight, we’ll pick a deserted location.” Goku flew up and started to head for the Ocean, Vegeta grunted and followed after along with the rest of the Z fighters.
Dr. Gero didn’t mind in the least if Goku changed his location, after all, he was getting what he wanted, he and Android 19 flew across the sky until they ended up in the middle of a barren wasteland of stone and dirt.
“This place is as good as any.” Goku landed on the ground alongside the rest, Dr. Gero then smiled as he said, “Android Super 19, destroy Son Goku.”
Android 19 walked forward and smiled, “Target confirmed, commencing assault protocols.”
Dr. Gero chuckled and said, “If you want to survive, you best use that Super Saiyan 3 transformation that you used when you fought that purple and pink alien.”
Everyone frowned when they heard Dr. Gero mention the Super Saiyan transformation.
Goku smiled and said, “I don’t think that’s going to be necessary,”
Goku transformed into a basic Super Saiyan and smiled, “We’ve been training for your arrival, we’re much stronger than we used to be.”
Vegeta walked up besides Goku and transformed into a Super Saiyan as well, “I got the thin one.” Vegeta said as he cracked his knuckles.
“Error, presumed power readings are fare below current results, with a difference of 500% greater, altering strategy.” Android Super 19 raised his arms and charged towards Goku.
“Don’t let him grab you Kakkorot, those objects in his hand absorb energy, use melee only.” Vegeta charged at Dr. Gero who had a look of surprise on his face, “Vegeta saw through my absorption pads? How?”
Goku dodged Super Android 19 with ease, it wasn’t even a proper match, especially since Goku noticed how often the Andriod reached out with open palms and grabs.
Vegeta, on the other hand, was surprised to see how strong Dr. Gero’s new body was, Dr. Gero was able to keep up with his Super Saiyan form with ease, Vegeta punched and kicked up a storm, only for Gero to doge every one of them.
Instead of getting pissed off, Vegeta’s Saiyan blood began to Boil, “Yes! This is what I hoped for, a challenge! Don’t disappoint me now Android!”
Vegeta offered his arm, and because Gero was no fighter, he didn’t know it was bait, as soon as he reached out grab in order to absorb Vegeta’s Ki, Vegeta smirked and swiftly transformed into Super Saiyan 2 for a split second.
Vegeta’s fist balled up as it shot out past his target’s defenses and hit Dr. Gero in the gut, his body reeled back making it look as if Vegeta was stretching his metallic body out like a piece of paper, the force from the impact sent the Android flying into a pillar of rocks, causing a large explosion of debris and dust that hailed down from the sky.
Vegeta smirked and watched as Goku had grabbed the Android’s arms and started to tear on them in a similar fashion to the original timeline. Goku’s feet stomped into Super Android 19 and with a simple pull, yanked his arms off.
“Sorry, but I can’t have you destroying my planet, but thanks for the fun fight!” Goku powered up a Kamehameha and blasted the remains of Super 19 into dust.
Vegeta clapped, “Well done Kakkorot, now for the other one.”
Dr. Gero’s eyes widened, “How is this possible!?” He then clicked his teeth and looked back at Vegeta and the rest of the Z fighters.
He quickly dashed over to who he thought was the weakest of the group and attacked Krillin from behind, Krillin’s eyes widened as he suddenly rolled forward narrowly avoiding Dr. Gero’s grasp, he powered up with a Zen-Kaioken Times 100 and kicked Gero’s face into the ground.
Gero jumped back and shouted, “Damn you!” as he tried to grab Krillin again, Krillen sidestepped him and landed a solid punch against Dr. Gero’s waist and sent him flying back into another rock formation.
Vegeta landed next to Krillin who powered down and said, “Well done human, that technique is equal to a Super Saiyan 2 power up.”
Krillin rubbed his nose and laughed, “I’ve been working on this technique to catch up with Goku.”
Goku smiled, “I haven’t fought you in a long time! It will be fun!”
Dr. Gero quickly caused an explosion with a rage-fueled yell, “I will kill you all!”
Dr. Gero then jumped at the crowd and threw out a strange grenade, a blinding flash of light went off that was similar to a full powered solar flare, everyone covered their eyes.
When they opened them, Dr. Gero had gone, “He ran!” Gohan shouted.
“We can’t sense his Ki!” Piccolo growled.
Vegeta tilted his head and said, “Fan out, he couldn’t have gotten far.”
Everyone scattered off in different directions and began searching for the runaway doctor, after a few minutes of searching, the Z fighters sensed Bulma flying over with future Trunks.
Vegeta smiled and flew over to meet them, “Vegeta!” Bulma jumped into his arms.
Vegeta hugged her back and looked over to his future-timeline son and said, “It’s good to see you, what brings you back?”
“Someone stole the time machine in my timeline. I figured that I might as well help you kill the androids while I’m here as well.” Trunks replied.
Vegeta smiled and pointed back to the pile of ash, “That fatso and the white-haired guy aren’t much trouble, I’ll admit, that Android Super 19 was as strong as our base Super Saiyan forms, but Super Saiyan 2 seems to be out of their reach.”
“White-haired guy? Fatso? Super Android 19!?” Trunk’s eyes widened.
“Those don’t sound like 17, or 18 at all! What’s going on!?” Trunks shouted as the rest of the Z fighters arrived.
He then explained that the androids they were fighting weren’t the same ones in his future, in fact, even Android 19 and Doctor Gero seemed a bit too powerful.
“Energy absorption? You’re telling me, they can absorb our Ki! This is bad, really bad!” Trunks started to stress out.
“Calm down moron!” Vegeta slapped the back of Trunk’s head. “I assume you know who created the Androids right?”
Trunks shook his head and relaxed, “Actually, yes, we did some investigating in my timeline and discovered the location of Dr. Gero’s lab. After dad used the dragon balls, we realized that Gero must have been resurrected by the wish as well, after killing him and destroying his base, we discovered a bunch of new blueprints in a hidden basement, we also found a remote that can disable the Androids, however, our timelines are so different I’m not sure if the information is any good.”
“Well, what are you waiting for?” Vegeta said slapping his hand against Trunk’s shoulder.
“Lead the way?” Goku shouted.
Trunks nodded his head and started to fly off towards Gero’s lab, along the way, Gero, who was stealthily making his way back, noticed them flying above, he tucked behind a large stone pillar and hid as he observed them.
“Where are they headed? Wait, they’re headed towards my LAB!!” Dr. Gero started to worry, “Damnit, why do they know so much!?” In Gero’s desperation, he quickly started to pick up the pace.
Gero had risked revealing himself several times before he managed to reach his lab, but thanks his computation power, he accomplished his task without notifying the Z-Warriors.
When he reached his lab, Dr. Gero immediately activated Android Zero, Android 2, and 3.
Dr. Gero was designated as Android 1, 2 and 3 came after and were much more advanced, one was in the shape of a young maiden that resembled, Dr. Gero’s wife, similar to Android 21, she had a very curvaceous figure, long bushy auburn hair, blue eyes, and was approximately 5 feet and 7 inches tall.
She wore a gold ring on her left middle finger, a pair of golden hoop earrings. A large white Doctors Coat was worn over with a sleeveless blue and red short dress, beneath it was a pair of black stockings, and around her arms were thin black arm sleeves. Around Android 2’s feet were a pair of blue and red heel boots that gave another 2 inches to her hight.
The next to stand up was a tall man with long black hair, on his face was a cross-shaped scar, and his eyes were pitch black, and he stood at 5feet and 11 inches tall, his body was built with a fighter type body.
Android 3 was originally Yamcha, after being losing touch with the group when Vegeta first arrived, Yamcha decided to return to the Desert, unfortunately, this ended up spelling his doom.
Dr. Gero eventually came across him when he was alone and decided because of his high Ki level to use him in an experiment, and the results were fascinating, to say the least.
Other than Android Zero, Yamcha was his strongest creation yet, only slightly stronger than Android 2, which was still thousands of times stronger than himself. The only advantage Gero gave himself over the rest was the ability to absorb energy, eventually, he might have grown stronger than even his greatest creation in the basement.
Android Zero was made to absorb all of his previous creations, all of his old projects were updated to the best of his current ability and absorbed into Zero’s body making him the only true Android.
While he and the remaining were Human in origin, Android 2 and 3 had their cells altered on a physiological scale, giving them cells from the most powerful warriors on earth.
Other than human cells, Android 2 was given Frost Demon’s genetics that gave them their incredible potential for Ki and Namekian’s genetics for regeneration, while Yamcha was given a fusion of Saiyan Zenkai genetics and Frost Demon Ki growth, and the Namekian Regeneration Factor, along with brand new infinite energy reactors, the two sported bombs that could destroy the entire planet.
Gero woke them up and shouted, Son Goku and his friends are headed here, time to go to battle.”
Android 2 shook her head, “What about Cell?”
“He’s not done yet, and he still has to absorb Android Zero.” Gero snapped back at the doll he turned his wife into.
“What about this guy?” Yamcha said looking at a pod labeled S16, “I thought you got rid of all your old projects.”
“Danmit Android 3, don’t touch him! He’s…too broken to absorb.” Dr. Gero shouted.
Yamcha smiled and made his move, he grabbed Gero’s arm and twisted to inspect the absorption device, “This is new, why didn’t we get one of these?”
