Chereads / Reincarnated as Hercule / Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Advent

Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Advent

Back in the past a few weeks had passed since I was crowned world champ. It was still a month before the androids showed up, the main z fighters along with the Saiyans had all mastered 500 times gravity with weighted clothes on. We were now resting and finishing up on our training. I was doing some light sparring with students while Roshi was chasing after a few female apprentices, before they bitch slapped him hard. I was laughing my ass off, that shit never got old. As I was taking a breath from my laughter I felt a pain in my chest. I could barely breathe, one of the students approached me asking if I was ok but all I could do was grip my chest and yell in pain. I collapsed into the ground and Roshi grabbed me, then he yelled for help.

Some students from the dojo picked me up and put me in a medical room while they got the heart medicine for me. I had already gotten prepared for it but the pain was much more agonizing than expected, I felt bad for Goku, thinking he'll have to go through it. But right now I was in so much pain. They gave me the medicine and then put me in one of the healing pods that they reversed engineered from the Frieza ship. I felt the pain subsiding, but now I could feel sleep coming in, I was passing out.

I woke up again, I was in room 2b from when I originally had died, and the guy was there as well. I looked at him, "don't tell I'm dead now, am I?" He looked at me and said, "you're on the verge of it, but it looks like you'll make it through. I just wanna talk to you and say that I'm impressed. You've done much more good here than in your old life. Though, the story is pretty boring now. Not too much fighting, and more talking your way out of things from your end." I smiled and looked at him, "that's what you get for putting me in the tv show I've obsessed with since I was a kid. If I was Goku I'd prolly be a super Saiyan 3 by the time the androids got here." The man looked at me, "that's why I only put you as a side character. I wanted to see what you'd make of it. As I said I'm impressed, but don't think it'll get easier. Pretty impressive for a third chance at life." I looked at him confused and said, "third chance at life, what happened, what do you mean?" He looked at me and said, "Future Gohan, he mentioned how you died from the heart virus. That was the original you, however I felt kinda bad for leaving you like that, so I figured I'd rewind the tape and put you in an alternate timeline, from the original alternate one you're in." I was shocked, but then laughed, "now it makes sense, no wonder they came back, originally I expected Goku to fall Ill, so I had the dragon balls ready to cure him just like with Miguel. So you're telling me, when I die I simply come back here while the others stay in their dragon ball universe." He smiled and nodded, I asked him another question, "what happened to the body of the old Hercule, like what happens to his soul or whatever?" The guy answered me, "basically it'll be like he lived through all those experiences and he had a change of heart. If he's ever bought to life down there he'll have his old personality back, although it'll be mixed with some of yours. Don't worry there's no alternate you if that's what you're asking." I nodded, "that makes sense then, I'm ready to come back whenever then."The man nodded and then clapped twice, immediately I passed out and I woke up the healing chamber. I stepped out of there and asked one of the students how long it was been, "it's been about a week sir, and could you put some pants on." I looked down and blushed, I got a towel and went to the locker room. In my head I thought, 'At least he gave me another chance'.

During the next month, we just rested and wrapped up our training. Finally, it was the night before the androids struck. I gathered all of the students and the Z fighters. Once everyone was gathered up i briefed them on the situation, "Now gentlemen, these last few years of training have been brutal, but let me tell you there's a reason for it all. Tomorrow, 2 androids are going to attack an island off of south city. Now, if our Intel is correct these androids are far stronger that any of us here, the only ones that stand a chance are Mr Goku, Raditz, Vegeta, Nappa. Now, this doesn't mean we'll stand back and let them do all the action. We're going to go in and evacuate as many people as possible from the city while they fight these androids. Just remember this, if you see one of them, do not engage at all costs, rather use your solar flare to blind them and run away with as many civilians as possible. You'll also be provided with special transceivers, press this button and your position will beep, thus we'll know you're in trouble and we'll come bail you out. Now, if anyone is scared and doesn't wanna participate I understand, frankly I'm scared too. But I'm not going to stand back while I see earth terrorized by a bunch of washing machines. If you wanna back out, now is the moment." As I analyzed the room, nobody moved, I saw fear in some of their faces but none dared to move. I felt proud, I had some great students.

"Alright then, here are the coordinates, we fly out tonight and set up camp near the city." A few minutes later we flew out of west city and headed to the island. Everyone was gathered in an encampment near the city. We set up camp and slept until the next day or at least tried to since we were pretty scared. The only ones that got sleep were the Saiyans. Finally the day was here, it was a cool day. The wind was running across our faces, but we were ready. Finally, an explosion was heard downtown. "Alright gentlemen let's go, remember the drill, don't get separated." Just like that, hundreds of dots flew into the city.
