"I have miscalculate ...
C-24 ...
Let's go back to the laboratory" Dr Gero ordered upon predict that his plan was about to fail ...
Vegeta and Yam were very strong and hadn't fallen prey of their robotic stratagems.. that why the villains needed to quickly hide and plan their next move with the dodgy data they now had.
And this time he didn't stay up to see what happened, there were too many unforeseen variables...
Therefore, he and his last remaining lackey footman fled to the rocks, where Gero thought he could avoid being followed by the Z Warriors
"OH NO! THEY'RE RUNNING AWAY!!
VEGETA! YAM! YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM!
THEY WILL ESCAPE!" Gohan yelled, giving a pretty coherent message given the situation.
Although Vegeta didn't consider it in the same way "Don't give me orders boy ...
Now that you don't have your tail, neither your father nor your monstrous teacher you are nothing ...
I can crush you with one hand"
"Try it if you can!" Said Piccolo, who didn't hesitate for a single moment to protect his beloved student and almost son from some arrogant psychopath
"Silence, everyone!
We may not look like it, but those bastards have stolen a lot of our energy...
It is not wise to pursue them in this state...
Don't you have some of those Senzu Bean that allow you to regain energy and heal wounds?" Yam asked, who wasn't as uncompromising as Vegeta
"I'm afraid not…
Yamcha wore them all and ... well ... he was charred in an energy explosion" Krillin said, who regretted not having taken some of them as well in case something like this could have happened ...
"Wait…
Bulma had Senzu Beanns!
She said it before on the island!" Gohan said, who was attentive to the speech that Bulma gave in previous chapters
"It's true, now I remember ...
We have to contact her and ask her to bring them here as soon as possible!" Said Muten Roshi, who happened to be listening at the time
"Bulma ?!" Vegeta and Yam yelled at once upon hearing the name of the person moderately responsible for their most direct couple problems.
And Gohan, ignoring Vegeta and Yam's reaction and seeing that Ginger's tracker was destroyed during the battle, asked to borrow one from Krillin, who hadn't used it until now "I will try to contact her with the device she gave us, which we silenced because she was scolding us ...
You will not believe it, but this device allows us too..."
This was a call that could be very important and therefore everyone should listen
FIUUUUUU!!!
FIUUUUUUUU!!!!
However, Yam (hates Bulma for alternate infidelity) and Vegeta (fear of interacting with Bulma in some way and being killed by Broly or Yam) didn't intend to hear explanations of anything mentioned that could have some relation with Bulma
"We don't care about what that bit...
We will chase them and kill ourselves" Yam said, as they flew in the same direction that Gero and C-24 had fled
"They plan to follow without energy two guys some guys who absorb energy and are untraceable in such difficult terrain?
It doesn't seem like a good idea" Piccolo said after doing a little analysis of the situation and being surprised at how stupid they are for always exposing themselves too much to danger
"NEE-SAN! VEGETA !!
LISTEN TO THEM!
IT IS IMPORTANT!" Yelled Ginger, who was trying to make those two stubborn proud and spiteful Saiyans reason a little bit
However, before Ginger took flight to catch her usual genocide squad, Muten Roshi grabbed her hand to prevent her from joining the actual suicide squad.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ginger shouted very annoyed at having been momentarily held against her will, surely to protect her from herself in a paternalistic way
As if he were treating her like an irresponsible child who only knew how to get into problems from which she didn't know how to resolve...
"Ginger, take my tracker and go with your sister and her unbearable boyfriend
If they confront them blindly on their turf they may get into trouble" Muten Roshi said giving to Ginger the tracker that he put in his pocket in previous chapters
Despite looking young, deep down he was an old man who didn't know very well how the new technologies of alien origin worked and that is why one decided to use it
"Okay…
Don't follow me… you just… would get in the way…" Ginger replied as she picked up the tracker, feeling quite ashamed for misinterpreting Roshi's intentions
However, like all proud and powerful Tsundere she wasn't able to express an apology in public
Therefore, he masked those feelings with more bad mood. Something that hurt Roshi a bit, who believed that they already had a lot of trust in each other
Enough trust to avoid situations like these
And meanwhile, not far away another choleric woman was traumatizing another man ... or more than one...
"HOW DARE YOU SILENCE ME IN THE DEVICE THAT I HAVE LENT YOU!?
NEXT TIME I WILL MAKE ONE THAT I CAN FORCEDLY ACTIVATE!
I WON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACITY!" Bulma yelled from Krillin's communicator, emitting a sound so loud and unpleasant that even the powerful ears of the Z Warriors couldn't bear
"This… Bulma-san… sama…
Yamcha is dead ... and with him all the Senzu Bean ...
Could you bring us a few?
We have faced some androids that absorbed our energy and we are quite injured...
Pretty please!" Krillin said, almost kneeling before the tracker, imploring Bulma to save them
However, those shows of respect didn't make the beast calm down, she continued to attack verbally with more force than before "I ALREADY KNOW THAT YAMCHA IS DEAD, I CAN'T FEEL HIS KI!
And I know you have faced energy absorbing androids
AND THAT'S YOUR FAULT!
IF you had done what I said from the beginning this wouldn't have happened!
Ahggg!!!
You are all..."
But before Bulma kept reminding them that she was right over and over again, Gohan tried to bring order "Sorry Bulma
We know that you are right and that we have been idiots ...
We will let you lecture us all you want later but we are really in a very complicated situation
We need the Senzu Bean as soon as possible"
"OK I understand…
Right now I just left Yajirobe at Karin's Tower, I'll be there in a few moments.
You can move as much as you want in case you have something to do, I have installed some locators in the trackers, I will know your location all time
And don't turn off the broadcast this time" Bulma replied while flying, you could even hear the voice of Karin and Yajirobe, who seemed very surprised "Also, if you have reconsidered, do you want to hear more important information?"
"I was against before but ...
I guess at this point it is better to stop some nonsense and know what we are up against" Piccolo answered, who realized that everyone was begging him with their eyes to accept Bulma's proposal
"Did you kill C-20, the android that looks like an old man?" Bulma asked from the spot as she kept flying towards that direction
"No, he is one of the two who have escaped" Ten Shinhan replied.
"Then you must catch it as soon as possible if you want to avoid future problems" Said Bulma from the transmitter, who kept flying in that direction
"Why do you say that Bulma.
Is he stronger than the others or does he have a special ability?
Well, he looked like the leader, but he never fought against us" Said Krillin, who began to worry more about this matter.
"Of course he is the leader
That android is Dr. Gero himself, the creator of androids
And as you can see he has turned himself into an android" Replied Bulma
"WHAT?!" Everyone shouted upon hear hear that shocking informative bomb
"Exact
So don't let him reach his laboratory or he will activate other androids much stronger and more dangerous
Some androids that Gero didn't want to use because they are so strong that they could get out of his control" Said Bulma to finish scaring her friends, promising an even greater misfortune.
"Seriously?!
This is very dangerous, we have to tell Ginger so that she can tell Vegeta and Yam about it" Answered Muten Roshi, who like everyone was in favor of that idea
Excepto…
"You better not tell her anything" Piccolo said, who seemed to be moving in the same direction as Vegeta and the androids.
"Piccolo!
Where are you going?" Gohan asked upon see that someone was going to do something other than stay and wait for Bulma
And that someone was Piccolo, to a double surprise
"I'm going to follow them, I don't trust those Saiyans
They sure do something stupid ... it's very typical of them ...
We have to finish them off before it's too late
And it is better not to tell them anything about what we just heard
Cooking Vegeta, he may not like the idea of destroying them while they are deactivated" Piccolo replied as he started to fly…
"But you are very exhausted and Bulma..." Muten Roshi said, who worried about the son of who killed him, his teacher and most of his past companions and friends
"Don't worry about me, I recover much faster than you and Bulma will find us if we carry those things
It's better than staying here doing nothing while everything gets worse" Piccolo replied, who was partially right
"Yes ... I guess" Everyone said as he followed him
Neither wanted to be treated as a coward...
Except for Yajirobe, who wasn't even here
---
A few seconds later
In the rocky area ...
Yam and Vegeta were chasing the Androids, without much success
"Damn rats ...!" Yam yelled as she surveyed the rocks around her
"Damnit!
They're using to this advantage, all right
I this case, I'll just have to drive him out
I'll just blow all of these rocks away!" Shouted Vegeta, who got tired of playing cat and mouse with the two androids, who were hiding between the rocks
So Vegeta tried to flatten the entire terrain with a powerful energy attack with the ability to kill people as strong as Krillin or Tenshinhan...
Although technically it doesn't take too much energy to do that
Muten Roshi destroyed the moon with 100 or less combat power points (Did he plan to destroy the entire planet?)
But in the anime Vegeta seemed to make a very powerful attack
So powerful that even Gero risked absorbing it to make himself stronger
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!
Hahahahaha !!!" Shouted Gero, who after absorbing Vegeta's attack hid again like a sewer rat
"Shit, I've lost sight of him ...
He is faster than I thought!
The best thing would be to use multiple energy attacks at the same time to destroy the terrain without having time to absorb them all ...
But I don't have so much energy to spend" Said Yam, who didn't see where Gero escaped and tried to find solutions
However, the ideal solution came to her easily and in a timely manner ...
"NEE-san the who seems to be the boss is only 200 meters from you"
THERE!" Ginger yelled, which arrived at the right moment with Bulma's tracker
And that pointing worried Gero a lot, who began to shed cold sweat all over his body… even though his only organic part was the brain [What!!!??
How the hell did she know my position?!
Yes, there is no doubt, is the tracker...
It's that damn tracker...
I should have destroyed it before...]
"What do you say Ginger ?!
And what do you do with that tracker?
Wait… don't tell me that… "Yam asked, who begun to understand how her sister could know their location.
BOMMMMM!!!!
But unfortunately that indecision allowed C-20 to attack with a treacherous energy attack, which hit Ginger's face.
An energy attack that wasn't fatal, which only caused minor burns and the destruction of her tracker
"BASTARD!" Yam yelled, which flew at full speed towards where C-20 was before he sneaks away again
However C-20 used the same smoke screen that they had used previously, filling the entire area with black smoke to escape again.
"Damn!
That insect has escaped again! " Vegeta yelled upon see what had happened from a distance
"[Well, without that tracker I still have a chance ...
I wanted to avoid it as much as I could, but there is no alternative, I will have to go back to the laboratory and activate those two ...] C-24, try to entertain them as much as you can, I will come with reinforcements" Thought and said C-20, who fled with more haste than before
"At your command C-20" Replied C-24, which intended to use guerrilla tactics to gain as much time as possible
However…
"Vegeta! Yam!
They are there!
DON'T LET THE OLD MAN ESCAPE FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!
HE'S GERO! THE GUY WHO BUILT THE ANDROIDS!"
Gohan, Piccolo, and the hindrances arrived on the scene, using their trackers and point out where the escapees were.
"DAMN!!
HOW DID YOU KNOW ?!
C-24 charge against them" Gero shouted upon see that everyone was chasing them with great precision
C-24 obeyed his master and flew towards the Z Warriors, who were prepared to tear him to pieces like all his factory brothers
However, they didn't know Gero's sinister plan
[It's a pity C-24 you were one of the ones I liked the most ...
But it is better that you die in my hands and also killing all of them with you
HUAHUAHUA !!!] Gero thought as he reached into his pocket and pulled out some kind of remote control, remote control with the names of all his androids on each button
Unfortunately only two people realized what this meant, the only two people that know something about technology.
"GUYS BEWARE !!!
HE'S PLOTTING SOMETHING !!!" Shouted Trunks, who came from afar at the right moment and could sense that this could be suicide attack
"OH NO! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Gohan yelled, who remembered how C-25 exploded earlier and destroyed one of his clones.
It was evident what he was trying, C-20 wanted him to explode when he was near them
[A-another new guy just arrived!
Who is this one?
I have no data of him at all!
Well
That terrible miscalculation doesn't matter, if he doesn't die in the explosion C-17 and C-18 will finish him later] Gero thought as he pressed the red C-24 self-destruct button on his remote control
"Oh shi!" Some of those who realized that this was a suicide attack thought, which caught everyone with little energy to withstand it
"Fuck!" They realized that was an energy explosion that could end their life if they were exposed!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
An explosion so powerful that made Trunks retreat due to the shock wave, which was at a safe distance, a distance in which he saw how his alternate father and the one who was his father figure in his timeline died once more without him being able to do anything
"DAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDD !!!
GOHAAANNNNN !!!!
[Damn!
I have arrived late! The future has changed, but for the worse!
They have all died! AND Gohan TOO!!
This is… this is my fault!!]" Trunks shouted in despair upon see how that explosion devoured those he had come to save as he looked with tears in his eyes towards the cloud of dust that that explosion had raised.
