Dragon Ball Z: History of Gohan - Chapter 7

Everyone immediately looked back at Goku, having heard the interruption caused by someone kicking the fat android in the head. The fighter who came at the perfect time and saved Goku from what could have been his very death was none other than Vegeta, his greatest rival. No one could believe what they were seeing.

"Gah! You weaklings can't even deal with a few metal toys? I should have known better.."

They could tell it was definitely their Vegeta. He got straight to the point. No greetings or introductions. After not seeing him for a long time, his first line to them was an insult. They didn't mind, however, since they knew that they would need every bit of his help.

"Someone get Kakarot out of here! He needs his medicine, and I need him alive so that I can defeat him personally later on.. I don't need a pile of scrap metal to do that for me.." Vegeta ordered as he scanned his eyes at the Z Fighters, "How about you, pretty boy?" he pointed at Yamcha.

"F-fine... It's probably best that I leave anyway. I'm as good as dead around here! I'll get Goku back home!" Yamcha agreed, slightly embarrassed. This was not a time for pride and arguing with Vegeta, however. He knew he needed to get Goku to safety. He grabbed the weakened Goku and left the scene in a timely manner.

"I will deal with this one," Android 19 stated to Gero.

"Hmm... I was hoping I would get to have some fun, but I suppose that's alright. You do have a personal bone to pick with him after he left that mark on your face... I call the rest of these wimps, though. Are we clear, 19?"

Android 19 did not acknowledge the last part of what Gero had said. He simply turned around to face Vegeta and readied himself for combat. He held his arm out and opened his palm, smirking at Vegeta.

"Oh, please.. Spare me the bore of learning about your absorption technique again... I've been watching this battle for a while now," Vegeta said confidently.

"Hmph! No matter.. While you may know some of my moves, I know all of yours' Vegeta... I guess you wish not to be bored with a re-explanation of that, either.."

"Really? You know all of my moves, eh? Your wonderful master Dr. Gero missed a bit of information.. That lack of information will be your downfall, android!" Vegeta readied himself as well, "Tell me... Does an android such as yourself experience fear?"

Vegeta clenched his fists and began to grunt as he bent his knees and elbows. The ground once more began to shake as rocks flew into the air. A small crater was created at Vegeta's feet as the ground below him caved in. He had turned into a Super Saiyan. He let out a gigantic yell as he finished charging his power. The crater's size increased tenfold as the skies turned bright and pure energy filled the air. When all was said and done, Vegeta stood proudly as the clouds of dust began to disappear around him.

Android 19, who had been knocked down during his transformation, stood back up as Vegeta began to explain to everyone, "I have finally done it! After all of my rigorous training, I have finally attained the legendary form of a Super Saiyan! After seeing that boy from the future defeat Frieza use the form like it was nothing, I have been training in unimaginable conditions, just so that I could gain what should have been rightfully mine. Then, I saw Kakarot's boy fight alongside him fearlessly... It seemed as though he and I swapped roles - he was the one taking the foe head on and I was the one standing back and watching.. I sickened myself. Unlike Kakarot, I have always strived to be the most powerful Saiyan in existence, and had no other goals whatsoever... and now I have finally done so."

"Enough already! 19, if you're going to deal with Vegeta then do it now!" Dr. Gero ordered impatiently, not as impressed with the Vegeta's transformation as he was with Goku's.

Android 19 charged toward Vegeta, giggling like a child. He punched Vegeta directly in the face, only knocking him back slightly. He let out many other swift strikes onto him, all of which he was able to dodge. It was as if the tables were turned - the Saiyan was the invincible one that would remain unscathed by attacks. Vegeta finally let out a series of mighty kicks and punches, throwing the android across the plains. He walked to the android and stood over him, a grin from ear to ear on his face.

"Awww... Is the toy out of batteries? I was just beginning to have fun!" Vegeta mocked the android. He still was not certain if it could feel embarrassment or even anger.

He waited a moment for a rebuttal from the android, however it remained idle its back for a few moments until it suddenly sat upright and grabbed Vegeta's wrists. Krillin and Tien, standing on the sidelines, gasped. They knew he was going to try to take his energy just like how Goku's was about to be taken earlier. Vegeta raised his legs up and placed them on the android's face. He stretched out the android's arms until they simply broke off.

The android shrieked and attempted to run away. Vegeta looked at the hands of the android.

"I must say, this technology is rather impressive... However you're done, android!" Vegeta darted into the skies and placed his right palm out, similarly to how the android had done when he was preparing to absorb Goku's Kamehameha some time ago. He charged a considerably-well sized blue ball of energy.

"You're running like a woman.. I guess I was right after all... You androids do experience fear to an extreme degree... Hahahaha! Big Bang Attaaaack!" Vegeta propelled the blast from his hand and watched it completely obliderate the android.

"I suppose that since Kakarot isn't around, I'll be the one to defeat you as well, old man.."

"Just because you could defeat 19 doesn't mean you can defeat me!" Dr. Gero argued.

"Well, I guess there's only one way to find out, isn't there?" Vegeta smugly replied.

Dr. Gero knew deep-down that facing Vegeta all by himself was not the best idea. He made a run for it, attempting to flee the scene. Vegeta had fired several small ki blasts in his direction, however he was able to evade all of them. He had actually done more harm than good by inadvertantly creating dust and debris that made it harder to locate Dr. Gero and catch the direction he was heading.

By this time, King Cold and Piccolo had awoken. Having missed the better half of Vegeta's battle, they were a little befuddled and clueless. They were quickly filled in by Krillin and Tien on the fact that they needed to pursue Dr. Gero, which Vegeta had already begun to do.

"How did Vegeta do?" King Cold asked the group.

"He showed that android what for! I hate to say it, but he went even crazier on it than Goku did," Krillin answered eagerly, having just seen a great fight.

"Good..." King Cold was feeling slightly modest. He did not want to make a huge deal out of him taking a great attack from Gero in order to stall him and give Vegeta a moment to attack, however he was still glad that all went well and that his risky move did not cost him his life.

"We better get going if we wanna find this creep, wherever he's headed to," Tien suggested.

"That's assuming Vegeta hasn't already dealt with him. He seemed pretty fumed when he went after him," Krillin added.

"I really want to go with you guys, but I'm worried about my dad. I'm gonna go head over to the Kame House and see how he's doing if that's alright," Gohan said.

"That's fine. Hopefully Vegeta and us should be enough for this guy. Plus, it wouldn't hurt for someone to give them them all an update on the situation," Tien replied.

The fighters all headed after the cowardly android, hoping to catch up with Vegeta while Gohan headed in the opposite direction toward the Kame House, anxious to see if the medicine had kicked in on his father. The battlefield had received its fair share of damage from the fights that had ensued this afternoon, however it was finally free of all of Z Fighters and androids and could rest; that was until one more fighter stepped foot on it all alone, anyway.

Gohan had returned from the future and arrived at the battlefield shortly after the scene had cleared.
