Super Dragon Ball: Paradise Hysteria

The Bombastic Reinforcements

The Ultimate Android took a single bold step forward, raising his twitching right hand before him as he stared at the reinforcement fighters with previously unseen antagonism. Immediately, Yamcha, Goku, and Bardock took fighting stances as an invisible gale picked up and tossed both the airborne diamond ice dust and the cinders of the booming magma storm from the sum of damage the planet had suffered.

"Even if it confuses me as to how you've managed to arrive here, Son Goku, I'll take solace in the fact that I know for certain that you won't be leaving," the Ultimate Artificial Human proclaimed. His eyes carefully wandered off to focus on Yamcha. "You appeared to be the user of that peculiar transportation technique that isn't bothered by electromagnetic protons or cosmic distance. That will come in handy."

"Maybe you should take a hike, Yamcha? Just in case. This can get seedy and you're mighty weak," Bardock teased the Earthling warrior with a slight artificial pitch to his voice. Even though the extensive modifications that Dr. Puri put him through were absent, the Saiyan warrior asked Bulma to leave a few of them intact for a leg-up in fighting to protect his family.

"Excuse me? For your information, I was the first one to sniff out that something odd was going on in Bulma's space station. You two would still be sleeping if it weren't for me!" Yamcha pointed at himself. "Plus, even if I'm an ace at both galactic and Earth baseball, I've kept up with my training."

"We'll know what to do when we trade blows," Goku spoke his mind. "I can't get a lone whiff of this guy, so he's gotta be an Android. We won't know how tough he is until we fight him for a little bit."

"Annoying gnats, I'll give you more fight than you can handle!" the furious Ultimate Android launched himself at the trio. Almost immediately, both Goku and Bardock responded with combined energy waves fired toward the rushing juggernaut though their energy waves stopped in their tracks. Even when Yamcha joined in with the combined energy wave attack, the Ultimate No. 20 skipped just one step before forcing himself right through the torrent of Ki to where he stood face-to-face with all three reinforcing combatants.

"Shit!" Goku freaked out, gaping his eyes and stretching his mouth out in a sudden shock at the opponent's incredible power.

"Immovable bastard!" Bardock cursed, jumping out in front of the Ultimate Android to intercept his attack. The musclebound Artificial Human tossed a standing push kick at Son Goku, but his father shuffled in to block it. A pulse of golden energy passed from the core of Bardock's body both up and down, transforming the augmented Saiyan into a Super Saiyan.

Despite the sudden jump to guard, the kick blew up with a fiery expulsion of energy and sent the augmented Super Saiyan skidding back across dense ice platforms and rivers of magma alike while Goku transformed as well and jumped to trade blows with the monstrous Artificial Human. The Ultimate Gero placed his arms over his shoulders, crossing them up, and withstood the barrage of Goku's blows and kicks. Seeing his opening, the Ultimate Artificial human stomped at Goku's legs to trip him and open him up, but Goku vanished in an instant with a sharp snapping sound.

"Behind you!" Goku yelled out, coming with a flying kick from behind the Ultimate Android. The bulky Artificial Human grabbed hold of Goku's boot and swung him about over his head. That was before Bardock's energy ball hit him clear in the face and the roaring Super Saiyan rushed in with a vanishing barrage of punches, beating down on each of the Ultimate Android's sides before appearing over his head and stomping his foot into the soft middle of his extended arm which forced the bulky Android to release Son Goku and give the two an opportunity to put some distance between them.

"Would it hurt you not to warn him when you're attacking from behind?" Yamcha objected to what felt to him like a waste of his Instant Transmission technique.
