Memory of the Sun

Chapter 40: Z Fighters vs. The Androids (Part 6)

Meanwhile, with Vegeta...

...

So just because he's a machine, I can't feel his energy? That doesn't make any sense! Vegeta thought, narrowing his eyes in irritation as he flew. Energy sensing is bullshit... He concluded, letting up a bit before landing on a nearby boulder.

"Hey, why ya hidin'?" Vegeta taunted, hoping to draw the other man out with a few well thought out jabs. "You scared 'cause I blew up your friend?"

Silence.

"I'd call it your sexbot... But as you're currently demonstrating, you don't have any balls!"

Nothing.

Android 20 smirked, listening to the angry Saiyan from his hiding place as he formulated a plan. Yes... He's desperate to find me... Android 20 thought, realizing he would most likely have to retreat for now. I just have to wait him out...

"Aw man... Sure do feel winded after blowing up your robosexual life partner..." Vegeta said sarcastically, looking around in irritation at the valley of rocks around him. "Sure would suck if you jumped me and took my energy... Oh no! Some dust in my eyes! This is the worst..." Vegeta went on dramatically, getting more impatient by the second...

"Get the fuck out here!" The Saiyan finally snapped, raising his hand above his head as he gathered a large amount of energy.

Android 20 grinned, seeing his opportunity as he watched the warrior above him send a huge blast towards the landscape below. Luna arrived just in time to see what was about to happen as she shouted, knowing she was already too late.

"Vegeta, NO!"

The Saiyan looked at her in confusion before his eyes darted back to the Android who was quickly dashing in front of his attack. Vegeta frowned, watching in shock as the white haired man smirked, raising both hands before bracing himself as the blast hit him head on. Both of them watched with wide eyes as the android sucked up every last drop of energy, laughing happily as the red gems in his palms shined.

"Thanks for the charge you fool!" 20 laughed, smirking once more before jumping away quickly as he made his escape.

"Darn it! He tricked me!" Vegeta shouted, gritting his teeth as he cursed under his breath. "Get back here!"

"Vegeta! Wait up!" Luna shouted, following both of them as she sensed the others not too far behind her...

"This tactical shit's getting really old..." Vegeta growled, landing on a free standing rock before looking around as he tried to calm his temper. "Now you get out here and fight me blindly like a man!"

Hmpf... Yes, you may be a Super Saiyan Vegeta... Android 20 thought, a smug grin on his face as he observed the fighter looking for any trace of his whereabouts. But you're still just an arrogant little brat... Aren't you? He chuckled inwardly, watching the patience literally draining from the man below him.

"Olly olly oxen bitch!" Vegeta shouted, growling as Android 20 jumped down from his hiding place quietly.

While you continue to prattle on, I shall make my escape and... Android 20 stopped mid-thought, his eyes widening as he noticed the other Z Fighters were there as well. Oh... They followed me... He realized, his eyes narrowing as he turned around to head the other way. No matter... I'll just head the other way and-

Android 20's eyes widened a bit further as he noticed Tien standing not too far away. Okay... Fine. I'll just maneuver back where I came from...

Android 20 stopped again, seeing Krillin standing where he had been located only moments ago. Why the hell is he even here?! 20 thought angrily, narrowing his eyes as he spied Piccolo floating up ahead. Then again... At my age, I could use more greens in my diet... He mused, chuckling to himself before seeing an even easier target on the rocks to his left.
