After being grabbed by Android 19, a golden light began emanating from the android's body, absorbing Vegeta's energy.
Vegeta suddenly felt his strength draining away and quickly unleashed an energy blast at Android 19.
Unexpectedly, Android 19 raised his other hand, revealing the energy absorption device in his palm, which effortlessly absorbed Vegeta's attack.
"Thank you for the energy!" Android 19 said mockingly.
Realizing his energy was being absorbed, Vegeta quickly gathered his remaining power and let out a violent burst of energy.
The sudden surge shook Android 19, allowing Vegeta to break free.
As Android 19 staggered back, he continued absorbing the scattered energy, leaving him in even better condition than before.
On the other hand, Vegeta, whose energy had been partially drained, stood with an unsteady aura.
"Haah...haah… Krillin, give me a senzu bean," Vegeta demanded.
Krillin tossed a senzu bean to Vegeta, who ate it immediately. His energy was instantly restored, surging to levels even stronger than before.
"Damned android, to treat me like that... Now I'll show you my true power and teach you a lesson you won't forget!" Vegeta growled, his anger boiling over.
With Android 19 advancing again, Vegeta decided to stop holding back.
"Haah!" Vegeta roared, and the flames of his aura flared violently around him. His hair stood up even more sharply than before, and bolts of lightning crackled intermittently around him.
Vegeta had ascended to Super Saiyan 2.
"What's happening?! The data showed Vegeta could only transform into a Super Saiyan! What is this new form?!" Android 20 exclaimed, hidden nearby, shocked by Vegeta's transformation.
With his newfound power, Vegeta charged toward Android 19, who stood frozen in place.
"Even if you've grown stronger, it won't matter. I'll just absorb your energy again and bring you down!" Android 19 shouted as he lunged at Vegeta.
But to his shock, his hands passed through an afterimage.
"Impossible…"
Before Android 19 could fully process what had happened, Vegeta appeared behind him. As the android tried to turn, Vegeta drove a powerful punch into his stomach.
Without giving 19 a chance to react, Vegeta unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks.
'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!'
A series of rapid and devastating punches hammered into Android 19, followed by a brutal kick that sent him flying.
But Vegeta wasn't finished yet. In an instant, he appeared behind Android 19 mid-air and delivered another punishing kick, launching the android higher into the sky.
Vegeta gathered his strength, rocketed into the air, and clenched his fists before slamming them down on Android 19.
The android plummeted to the ground with immense force, crashing into the earth and creating a massive crater.
The sheer brutality of the assault left Android 19 sprawled out in the crater, unable to recover. He lay motionless, completely overwhelmed by Vegeta's ferocious power.
"Don't you enjoy absorbing energy? This time, I'll let you absorb all you can handle!"
Vegeta raised his hands, assuming the pose for his ultimate technique.
His aura flared wildly, golden energy swirling and kicking up the dust around him. The ground trembled as Vegeta's power escalated, and the golden light danced furiously in the air. Energy rapidly gathered in his palms as the surrounding pressure grew unbearable.
"Final Flash!" Vegeta roared, unleashing a massive, golden energy wave that surged toward Android 19.
Android 19 raised his hands in panic, attempting to absorb the attack.
But the sheer force of Vegeta's Super Saiyan 2 energy was too overwhelming. Android 19 was completely engulfed by the explosion, his body torn apart by the blast. When the energy finally subsided, all that remained was a massive crater, scattered with scrap pieces and debris of the android 19.
"That was… that was incredible, Vegeta! At this rate, we don't have to worry about being killed by the androids anymore!" Krillin exclaimed, his face lighting up with relief.
Meanwhile, Android 20, watching from the shadows, clenched his fists in shock.
"This is impossible… Number 19… No. 13, 14, and 15! Buy me time while I activate 17 and 18!"
Without hesitation, the remaining androids advanced toward the Z fighters, obeying their master's orders.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Android 20 unleashed a powerful energy blast, creating a massive cloud of smoke and dust to obscure the battlefield before fleeing the scene.
By the time the smoke cleared, Android 20 was nowhere to be found, leaving only his three subordinates behind.
"Damn it, that guy really ran away. What a coward," Krillin spat, glaring at the empty space.
"It's just a matter of time. When I'm done with them, I'll go after that old man," Vegeta dismissed the androids. No matter how much they ran, they would eventually meet their end at his hands.
Androids 14 and 15 immediately launched an assault on Vegeta.
'Boom! Boom! '
Vegeta easily blocked their attacks.
"I see… You're indeed stronger than 19, but you're still no match for me at this level!"
Vegeta sighed, knocking Android 14 and 15 down. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Android 15's head, and slammed it into the ground.
'Boom!'
The impact created a massive crater. Android 14, seeing its partner in trouble, rushed to aid him.
The android launched a series of punches at Vegeta, who surprisingly didn't dodge. Instead, he stood firm, allowing the strikes to connect.
Seeing an opening, Android 14 increased the power of its attacks, striking with more intensity.
"Are you done yet? Now it's my turn."
In a flash, Vegeta caught Android 14's fist mid-punch. With a crushing grip, he twisted the arm, tearing it off with a sickening crack.
Oil sprayed from the severed limb, staining the battlefield. Without hesitation, Vegeta hurled energy blasts at both Androids 14 and 15, consuming them in explosions.
When the dust settled, their shattered remains were scattered across the ground, reduced to scrap metal. Among the debris, small android pieces tumbled out and landed with faint clinks.
After finishing off Androids 14 and 15, Vegeta turned his attention to Android 13.
"Now then, it's your turn,"
Despite witnessing the destruction of his companions, Android 13 remained unfazed and even mocked Vegeta.
"Hmph, well, I'm not sure who will take care of who next."
Vegeta shook his head in mock pity.
"Death is staring you in the face, and yet you're still dreaming. How pathetic, you piece of scrap,"
"Vegeta, be careful! He must have some kind of hidden ability!" Goku called out, warning his rival of potential danger.
"I'll show you my true power soon enough," Android 13 declared confidently.
At that moment, the fragments from Androids 14, 15, and 19 floated through the air and integrated into Android 13's body.
Almost immediately, Android 13's body began to expand, transforming rapidly.
