Two back in time

Chapter 6 The arrvival of the androids

Three years later...

They had all met on Amenbo Island, where they were informed the androids should arrive at. After each of them ran through the various cities, such as Amaro City and Sasebo, most of Earth's Special Forces had met up with each other. Goku, Piccolo, Present Gohan, King Cold, Ji, Chi, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and even Bulma had arrived. Yajirobe and Korin later on arrived, bringing senzu beans for the crew, however hoping they would not be needed.

"Has anybody seen Vegeta?" Piccolo grimly asked the group.

Goku had done very well to keep his mouth shut for an entire three years regarding Trunks just as Gohan did, but he looked over at Bulma to hear her answer.

"Why are you looking at me, Goku? Why would I know where he's at?" she asked, confused.

"Oh... Uh.. No reason," Goku didn't understand exactly what was going on.

"Well, we're not going to get anything accomplished by sitting here waiting for him. I say we just move out and try to find the androids ourselves," Krillin suggested.

"There's just one thing.. I don't sense any of their ki around here. Before we go crazy searching for them, are you all sure that we're at the right place?" Tien stated, concerned about them wasting valuable time.

"Mr. Tien, I don't think the androids actually have ki. It'll be impossible for us to sense them." Gohan had gathered.

"Ah.. Very good, Gohan! I didn't think about it like that. It may be a little while until you're as strong as your dad, but I think you've already gotten him beaten in smarts," Tien complimented Gohan. The group shared a collective laughter, knowing deep down that there would be few smiles and happy moments as soon as they found the androids.

"So, Yajirobe, are you planning on staying and helping us out? You could take Vegeta's spot," Goku asked, having not been in cooperative combat with Yajirobe for a long time.

"Heck no! I'm high-tailing it out of here before those robots find me! Pfft, I didn't even wanna come here to give you guys these senzu beans, but Korin made me." he replied, very firmly.

"Aww, that's a shame. Well, in that case, you guys should probably be heading out soon, since we really need to get a good start on finding them," Goku said.

"Hah! You don't gotta tell my twice! Good luck out there.. Try not to die again." Yajirobe remarked as he climbed into his hovercraft and began his ascent. The Z Fighters watched him for a moment, only to see his hovercraft be mysteriously shot down. Gohan, Krillin, and Yamcha quickly dashed into action to save him while Piccolo, Goku, Chi, Tien, Ji and King Cold began searching for the cause of the explosion.

Yajirobe luckily remained mostly unharmed.

"Yajirobe, you should help them! This is already bad and they haven't even found the bad guys yet!" Bulma shouted, masking her enormous fear with anger and demands.

"Are you crazy, lady? I can't even fly! What good would I be to them?"

"Ugh! Fine! Let me get my hover car out of this capsule. You and I can watch over them for a while in there," Bulma reached into her bag and popped a hovercraft out.

"Gohan, you fly us back to Capsule Corporation! I'm too shooken up to drive." Bulma ordered.

"But I might be needed here! Can't Yajirobe fly it?" he argued, not wanting to leave his friends.

"Please! This idiot couldn't use autopilot!" she retorted.

"Hey! That's not true... I'm just.. I'm just too injured... and stuff. Yeah," Yajirobe defended himself.
