In the center of a very normal city on a very normal day ...
A group of eight quite abnormal people descended flying in a very abnormal way towards a group of seven people who weren't very normal either.
A group of seven people made up of:
1. An emaciated old man with a rather ridiculous hat (Gero / C-20)
2. An extremely pale fat man (C-19, who mysteriously looks like Kim Jong Un) with a very ridiculous hat
3. A tall, slim man with sunglasses, dressed in a rather elegant suit but with a strange and very ridiculous afro hairstyle (Android C-21 (Yes, the C-21 of the videogame don't exist here, the movie of the C-13 either))
4. A short, middle-aged woman, not very pretty, dressed like an office worker and wearing a rather ridiculous metal beret (C-22).
5. A huge, muscular man with a mentally unbalanced face, dressed as a Mad Max character and wearing a WWII helmet (C-23)
6. A rather short, thin boy with an idiot face, dressed like a sports suit and wearing a ridiculous metallic baseball cap (C-24)
7. A fairly attractive young woman, with good proportions, dressed in a long white coat that covered her entire body and with a ridiculous white Soviet hat on her head (C-25)
"They're there" Said Ginger, who pointed with her finger at the seven presumed guilty people of being modified humans ... and she didn't seem to be wrong, since it was the most picturesque group that was nearby and they are were seven
And in the same way these presumed modified humans also pointed to the presumed Z Warriors
"So they are the abnormally high energy level humans that were arpoaching" Said C-22 in a robotic way
"My data agrees with the appearance and power of these subjects.
They are Son Goku and his companions" Said C-19 while his eyes flickered, something that indicated that he was using his internal computer to search for information
"Are you the Artificial Humans?
About time you showed your faces" Said Piccolo, who as always talked excessively in front of the new enemies
And obviously that free information created some concern among the androids
"Strange.
How did you know we were Artificial Humans?
What's more… you seemed to know we would be appearing here on this island
Why don't you tell me how you knew?" Said Dr Gero, asking very coherent questions given the circumstances
"Follow us and you will know" Said Gohan, who intelligently indicated to all his companions that they should get away from there as soon as possible without negotiating with them a change of location to avoid collateral damage.
Some of them were killer androids that had wiped out millions of life in Trunks' future, it wasn't wise to ask them for something like that, since it was very likely that they would do the opposite.
So, without further ado, neither Goku, Piccolo, Ginger and the other filler Z Warriors followed Gohan, who was flying away from the island.
"What do we do C-20?
Do we follow them or do we collect energy from these inferior humans?" C-25 asked Dr Gero, who didn't know what to prioritize
The initial strategy of getting stronger by devouring thousands of weak humans or going after Goku and the others.
"I think it would be better to follow them.
Killing Goku is our main objective, the reason why we were created" Said C-21, which was very loyal to his programming
"I don't like the idea…
Wouldn't going after them be equivalent to doing what they want?" C-22 said, showing some reluctance to chase them
"Come on C-22, absorbing their energy will be more efficient than that of all the humans on this island" Said C-24, being quite consistent in his approach.
"Besides, they can't beat us," said C-19, with great confidence in his abilities and those of his mechanical brothers
"Very well…
We will follow them…
We let them choose the place where they die
When we arrive, use the combat pattern H-14" Dr Gero said, as it was programmed into the brains of those energy absorbing androids, they should always obey his orders
So they activated their anti-gravity devices and followed Goku and the others, who hadn't strayed too far from the island to make sure that the seven robots were following them.
"It seems that they follow us without major problem
Good job Gohan" Piccolo said, very glad that Gohan's improvised plan achieved the expected result.
"It was nothing" Gohan replied humbly as he tried not to blush.
"By the way Gohan, how about Yajirobe?
Did you put him safe?" Krillin asked, worrying about those weaker than him.
Obviously Gohan replied quickly "Yes, I already left him where Bulma was.
Now my 1% clone is in hiding, watching those seven to see what they plan to do.
They seem to have some way of locating our energy just like Frieza's trackers and have started to fly to follow us…"
Answer that more or less reassured everyone
The seven assassin monsters were leaving the city without causing any ruckus ...
Great!
However, that tranquility disappeared in an instant when he saw Gohan's face, who suddenly yelled "OH NO!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
"HAHAHA !!
Do you want us to go somewhere else?
I think now there is no problem fighting here now" C-23 said, laughing like a psychopath
DAMN BASTARDS!" Gohan and Goku yelled upon see what had happened ...
Just when the seven androids had taken flight, C-23 turned towards the city and launched an energy sphere at it ...
A sphere of energy that completely destroyed the island on which the city is situated ...
Vaporizing all the people living there
And among them was the 1% clone of Gohan, who was able to see live how the island disintegrated ...
Island where two of his friends were still
"OH NO!!!
BULMA!!!! YAJIROBE !!!!" Everyone shouted with great anguish and desolation as they considered the possibility that their two friends, especially Bulma, had died in that explosion.
Anguish that turned into extreme fury, especially for Goku and Gohan, who would have instantly attacked the androids!
If it wasn't because…
"Don't worry, Yajirobe and I are fine… although Yajirobe is a bit upset
WHAT THE HELLA WHAS THAT!?" Said Bulma, who was communicating through the trackers she had given them as Yajirobe yelled near her
"Bulma?
Are you really okay?
How did you survive that? " Gohan asked, very relieved and puzzled at the same time
That attack had disintegrated his 1% clone, a clone that was initially stronger than the poorly trained Bulma.
What the hell was happening?
And Bulma once again answered to reassure her worried and bewildered friends "Yes, I'm fine, don't worry about me or Yajirobe, I'll tell you what happened later" And instantly the reassuring message turned into an extremely loud and annoying lecture "But get those monsters away from here ...
Or from any other inhabited place ...
And for the record, I warned you ...
I warned ...
I told you there would be collateral victims and you didn't want to listen to me!
How many thousands of people have died because of your stupid selfishness?
If you had followed my plan, none of this would have happened ...
But of course ... you always have to do what you want...
And blah blah blah blah blah blah ... "
Lecture that obviously began to annoy our heroes, who couldn't stand Bulma's piercing screams one more second
"Ginger, how do you turn the volume down on this thing?" Yamcha asked, who more than anyone was against receiving another lecture from Bulma...
And while they wondered how Bulma and Yajirobe had survived the androids approached them
So Goku and company suppressing their desire to fight right now to avenge those thousands of deaths, they decided to find another place to fight
"Yamcha-san, give me a Senzu Bean please" Gohan said as they flew to nowhere
"Why Gohan?
What's happening to you?
You are injured?" Yamcha asked, who didn't understand why Gohan asked to eat one of those now
"Yes and no…
The technique of the multiplication of bodies that Broly taught me allows me to divide up to 100, each of those parts with a certain power.
In this case, the clone they just destroyed was 1% of my power.
In the event that one of the clones is killed, I will automatically receive the damage and lose the part of power that that clone had received in that percentage...
So by being disintegrated I have lost part of my energy and I have also received damage" Gohan said, explaining the inconveniences of this version of the Kage Bunshin
"I see ... it's not a perfect technique then" Krillin said, who didn't know all the details of this miraculous ability that only Gohan, Bulma and Broly used
In the middle of the exodus, while Gohan recovered from his injuries, Goku and the others intelligently tried to find a completely uninhabited and flat place, without mountains, rocks, trees or anything else that would serve those androids to hide.
But Gero wasn't stupid and he realized the intentions of his enemies "Enought Son Goku!
How far were you thinking of going?
Right here is fine.
I'm making this the spot
You have no claim over us to choose the location"
The seven descended vertically towards the island below them and the Z Warrios this time were forced to follow them, contrary to what had happened a few minutes ago.
[A tableland, but surrounded on all sides by rocks
If it becomes necessary, they figure they can flight us while hiding among the rocks
These guys have thought this out] Piccolo thought as he landed, checking that this location isn't favourable for them
"Before we kill you ...
How is it possible that you know so much about us?
I think we have been very careful all these years not to leave any traces or create any suspicions...
How did you know that we were modified humans and that we would appear this day in that city?" Gero asked, showing that he was in command of those six other androids.
And seeing that C-20 and the rest believed themselves far superior to them and looked at them arrogantly…
Piccolo tried to extract information from them at the same time that he told them how they knew about them with the strategy of his half teacher Broly, mixing the truth with the lie "We have many magical and unconventional ways to know about you
We have become quite wary of possible threats after the invasion of Vegeta and the others ... and then Frieza ...
Although we didn't expect that, the next threat wouldn't come from space ... but from planet Earth itself, Red Ribbon...
Although it is curious, we believed that you would only be two androids and not seven"
[Well thought Piccolo!] Everyone thought as they witnessed the incredible psychological move of our favourite babysitter
"I see ... they aren't going to confess how they knew about us ..." C-25 said, disappointed to see that she would be unable to satisfy her artificial curiosity
"Mmm… interesting…
You thought that only two androids would appear today ...
This means that your prediction method is unreliable or that you haven't updated it" Said Gero, who began to theorize based on what they were explaining
"Eh?!
What do you mean?" Asked Ginger, who didn't like riddles
"Sending only two androids was Dr Gero's initial plan.
However, almost some years ago he detected a level of power that his most accurate detectors of that time were unable to calculate...
And apparently that same source of energy collaterally also destroyed the miniature grub-like spy robots that kept us informed of the situation, power and weaknesses of Goku and all his friends..." Said Dr Gero, that like every evil genius he loved to explain his evil plans
[That had to be when Broly defeated Frieza and his father ...
Or when he found out that Trunks was Bulma's son
Or when someone asked for a salad in his first barbecue
His incredible Ki may have destroyed those spy robots] Thought those with good memory and agile mind
"That source of power puzzled Dr. Gero, who determined that Goku wouldn't have large increases in power.
So he used those spy robots to watch over Broly, the only person for whom we didn't have precise data and that unfortunately we have never had even today...
Broly, who is also the first suspect of destroying the spy robots and of having that high combat powe… and that later also destroyed the other spy robots by accident…
Everytime…" Gero continued recounting, who loved to hear the sound of his own voice
Although he was unable to hide how much the existence of Broly bothered him
[Mmmm this guy suspects well ...
And I'm afraid that all the changes in the story are due to Broly ...] Everyoone thought at the same time for more than obvious reasons
"The fear that Broly had a power far superior to what was believed and the fact that due to that energy explosion another of Dr Gero's spy robots, who was in charge of another project, was also destroyed ...
Forced Dr. Gero to allocate all his resources in the creation of androids that would be able to face that unknown threat and Goku
And that's why we are seven" Said Dr Gero, who continued to recite his monologue of genius of evil with certain material difficulties
[Yes, there is no doubt, it is all Broly's fault] Everyone thought all at once one more time, dispelling any doubt about who should they blame for the changes in the story
"Dr Gero was a bit anxious about the unknown Broly data, but after an estimate of his maximum capabilities and a simulation of different scenarios the computer determined that the probability of our defeat was less than 5%.
Also, from what I can see today, Broly is not among you.
This turns our probability of defeat to 0%
Resign yourselves to die" Said Dr Gero ending his monologue
"I see ...
So did you guys spy on me during the fight on the planet Namek as well?" Goku asked seriously, a Goku who was hyperventilating and sweating a lot, as if he had trouble breathing
[Most likely they couldn't ...
If they were there and they had seen how Broly moved an entire planet, the percentage of defeat wouldn't be so low] Piccolo thought, still trembling in fear due that galactic feat
"There was no need
After your fight with Vegeta we had a complete knowledge of your strengths and abilities
Of coruse, should you become more powerful still, taking into account your age… it was calculated that there could be no more tremendous increases in you power
"There was a chance that you could use your son's ape transformation or even the enigmatic KIEN, but none of that would put you on our level.
Our only concern was still Broly, on which we focused almost all our efforts" Dr Gero answered, explaining why he committed an unnecessary irresponsibility
The irresponsibility of underestimating his mortal enemy by not collecting all the possible information during his training
Although this time it wasn't 100% his fault, almost all efforts were focused on Broly, who was destroying his budget on spy drones.
"It looks as thought you've failed to investigate the most important thing about me
You guys lose!" Goku said confidently, despite the fact that a few seconds before he was hyperventilating
"Que?!" Yelled Dr Gero in a rather unnecessary way
"It will cost you lives not to have known about the Super Saiyan ..." Ginger said who took a step forward, standing next to Goku to also have prominence
"Besides underestimating me too
If you determined that I wouldn't improve, it means that your machines don't work correctly or that whoever programmed them was an idiot" Piccolo said, who threw down his training cap and cape
"I think the same," Gohan said, distancing himself from the humans to side with the alien team.
"Super Saiyan?" Said at the same time several androids, which didn't know about this alien concept
But at that moment ... Goku made the demonstration about the Super Saiyan
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Surprising friends and foes
"What an incredible Ki!
Can his power really be this great ?!" Ten Shinhan said, representing all the humans on that island, who will once again feel aggrieved by the difference between them
"Mmm you certainly have achieved quite and increase in power
However, it is still not enough to overpower us "Said Dr Gero, that didn't want to recognize that he hadn't done a good data collection
"You three stay out of this
It would appear I'm the one they want the most, after all" Said Goku, who wanted to finish once and for all what he started when he was a child, in addition to taking all the fun for himself
"Don't even dream about it Goku!
Come on, there are too many, I want to play with one of them too" Ginger said, showing her typical rowdy nature of a pureblood saiyan
"Same here Goku, it's better that we keep them entertained in case they decide to do something weird ...
You are their top priority after all, who knows what they are capable of in order to kill you" Piccolo said, worrying about his best friend and the father of his adopted son.
"Dad I have trained hard for three years with you
Everything for this moment.
You can't tell me not to do anything" Said Gohan, who was glaring at the androids with hatred as he transformed into True Saiyan
"I see…
This will be a group match" Said C-24, who expected to have an individual match against Goku, as if this were a tournament
"C-20 despite having verified that our data wasn't entirely correct ... determined that we must follow the previously combat pattern?" Asked C-21, who seemed to be quite far-sighted
"For their reaction it will be better not be overconfident
Use the combat pattern Z-69" Dr Gero ordered after listening the advice of his war machines
"The maximum efficiency pattern ..." All the androids except for C-20 said at the same time.
