The History Of Gohan

Chapter 9

Dragon Ball Z: History of Gohan - Chapter 9

The Z Fighters were adamantly searching for the monstrous Dr. Gero and whatever it is that he fled the scene of battle to reach while their friend Goku was lying on a couch in the Kame House, recovering from the heart virus that made him nearly meet his demise. Presumably by the Z Fighters, Vegeta had not taken any breaks in his chase, having more reason to follow the android than anyone else. His headstrong attitude would surely help out in this situation. Having recently reached the Super Saiyan form, Vegeta felt as though he could do anything in the world, and he wasn't about to let a pile of scrap metal best him.

Vegeta had not thought any words to himself. Letting any emotions that may still remain in his cold body may get in the way of the mission or distract him from his objective. He could feigntly overhear some words as he sped past a rock mass.

"Wait, so if our kind of technology is the latest kind, why did you put old stuff in Android 19?" an unidentified person said. Vegeta certainly had not heard this voice in the past, however he could tell that it was a young adult male most likely. He immediately stopped and began to follow the sound he heard; while he may have been unable to sense their ki, their voice was just as audible as any other.

"Well... you see... I just... um..." Vegeta was positive that voice came from Dr. Gero. He had certainly found his hideout at last. Before busting through, he stopped himself to listen in more to the conversation being had.

"Is it perhaps that our technology is far superior? Frightening, even?" This time the voice was clearly coming from a young woman.

"Your technology is without a doubt greater than the energy-absorption technology in Android 19 and myself; I will not lie," Gero answered, careful on his wording for some reason, as if to not offend the androids.

"Then why not make more androids like us? Why would you waste your time with a piece of junk?" The young man asked.

"Okay! I'll admit it! I didn't want an android that would be too powerful to control for this situation, but it's clear that the data I collected on these people isn't accurate! I needed something more powerful, which is why I have awoken you two!" Gero shouted angrily.

"If you want power, then why not wake up this Android 16 fellow?" The woman asked, "17 and I should be enough for these wimps, but it can't hurt to be safe."

If he wasn't certain before by the talks of energy absorption and other technology, Vegeta was now absolutely positive that Gero had unleashed more androids onto the world.

"Android 16 was a failed experiment, 18! He is far too powerful for this situation! Awakening him could mean the death of not only the Z Fighters, but also us, and maybe even the entire planet!" Gero explained profusely.

Gah! The entire planet? That chubby android was child's play, certainly not enough to destroy the Earth... Vegeta thought to himself, getting closer and closer to barging into the hideout.

"Which is exactly why we should let him out and have some fun! Three's company, isn't it, Gero?" The young man asked. Vegeta had been able to put a name on him by now, having listened to the others address him. The young man was named Android 17, and the young woman was Android 18.

"I... I suppose we would certainly have a large upper-hand against them if we were to let him out..." Gero settled, knowing that arguing with the androids would not be advisable. This was exactly why he was afraid of using them earlier, however it was necessary.

"Good idea, old man... I wasn't going to ask you twice," Android 17 said as he approached Android 16's chamber.

This Android 16 fellow could be the real deal... Hehehehe... I hope he of all people can provide some challenge for the mighty Super Saiyan Prince Vegeta! I'll let this proceed, then butt in..
