The androids stared down Vegeta with their menacing icy blue eyes. The fact that they were taking him seriously meant right away that they saw him as a formidable opponent. They would not show fear, nor anguish, nor happiness. They were truly monsters without a conscience.
"Like I mentioned before, it's due time to show you the power of a true Super Saiyan!" announced Vegeta boastfully, while increasing his magnificent golden aura. "That woman you just fought, think of her as a mere warm-up compared to what you'll be dealing with when we're fighting!"
"Well, this certainly wasn't expected…" commented Android 20.
"Yes, such a power increase for Vegeta was not calculated," squealed Android 19.
"No matter, we will just defeat him the same way we did Goku," replied Android 20.
Vegeta glared daggers at the two androids. He let out a primal growl, and spat, "Are you deaf? I said Kakarrot is a third class Saiyan warrior, the unwanted garbage of our proud race. I'm the Prince of all Saiyans, she was just a mere child's play compared to what I will deal upon you two!"
"How does the fact that you are the prince of her race make you have a better advantage of destroying us than she did?" asked android 20.
"I have royal blood flowing through my veins. The blood of the strongest Saiyans that have ever lived! I am a descendant of the legendary Super Saiyan. I will deliver you the worst of deaths. You will regret ever questioning my strength, and comparing me to that worthless low-class filth!" hissed Vegeta, displaying his pride in all of its glory.
"The blood of the strongest Saiyans that 'have' ever lived. I believe that is a past tense, which would mean that they're deceased. Tell me, if they're so strong, how is it that they're dead? Also, how can you be so sure that you are truly a blood descendant of the legendary. Are there any actual records of this? My memory banks show none, and I have accumulated the whole history that is known of the Saiyan race. Hmm… I don't see why you demean Goku so much. After all, she has the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan also. How does that make her weak?" asked Android 20.
Vegeta crossed his arms impatiently. This bucket of bolts was beginning to aggravate the Prince. He had questioned the truth of Vegeta's theories, and that had got on his nerves. He hated when others attempted to correct him!
Vegeta scowled at 20, and shouted, "I've had enough talk. Stop trying to prolong your life! Let's fight, and get this over with."
Android 19 stepped forward.
"Oh, I see you want to die first. Don't worry, 20, I'll grant both of your death wishes soon enough!" said Vegeta, taking off toward android 19.
Vegeta made the first move by landing a right hook on 19's face. The android recoiled backward, but caught itself. It retaliated by kneeing Vegeta in the stomach, but Vegeta's form faded out before it even touched him. Android 19 was then slammed down into the ground by Vegeta's elbow digging into its neck.
Vegeta took two steps backward, and created a blue energy blast in his right hand. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched as he heard one of Goku's friends call out to him from a distance.
"Don't do that Vegeta! It will absorb your blast with its right hand, and it will add to its own strength!" warned Krillin thoughtfully.
Vegeta lifted an eyebrow curiously, and mumbled, "Oh really?"
Vegeta smirked, and dodged a kick from the now up-righted android. Its eyes flashed red, and it shot about 10 red laser-like blasts at Vegeta. Vegeta dodged them all with ease, the smirk plastered on his face never fading even once.
He laughed mockingly as the android tried over and over again to get a decent blow on him. He grabbed 19's left hand, pulling it toward him, and swung his right foot up into its jaw. Instead of flying back from the impact's momentum, the android jolted to a stop, due to Vegeta holding his arm. Its eyes widened in horror as its whole arm was torn off!
Android 20 clapped its hands, and chuckled maliciously, "Bravo, Bravo, Vegeta! I never would have guessed that move. So, you ripped off Android 19's arm so that he couldn't absorb your life force or attacks. Too bad you ripped off the wrong arm. The energy absorber is on his right hand, not the left!"
Android 19 was paying no attention to his cruel companion. His eyes were still glued to his severed arm. He gawked at the empty socket in which it had been attached to. Blue bolts of electricity were sparking in and out. It turned its head up, facing Vegeta. Its facial features contorted into pure rage.
"I knew that it was the wrong arm. I just tore it off for fun, oh, the look on that ugly heap's face, It was truly priceless!" taunted Vegeta.
Android 19 glared even more hatefully, but then lost all source of emotion. After all, it was an android. It could easily control its emotions.
"Let us finish this, shall we?" asked Vegeta.
"Yes, let's," replied Android 19.
Vegeta appeared in front of Android 19 faster than the unsuspecting android could spot. Vegeta quickly extended both arms on opposite ends of his body. He then placed both of his palms together, directly in front of him. A yellow sphere of ki appeared in front of his palms.
"Final flash!" yelled Vegeta.
Immediately, luminous golden ki erupted from his hands, encasing the landscape of the whole island, and surrounding area in blindingly bright golden light.
Android 19 extended its right arm, and began to suck up the blast, laughing hysterically as he did so.
What is he doing? thought all of the Z-Fighters, simultaneously.
"Let's see how much you can handle, you scrap heap!" yelled Vegeta, increasing his ki usage.
Piccolo smirked in realization, thinking, Vegeta, when it comes to fighting; you're as much of a genius as Bulma is…
Android 19's eyes widened in terror, as he detected that his ki absorbing system was gaining ki too quickly. If this kept up…
"Haaaaahhhh!" screamed Vegeta, letting out a colossal amount of energy.
Android 19 watched in complete horror, as his energy absorber blew up. His arm then began to disintegrate, and slowly his whole being was decimated!
Vegeta stood there, and waited for the light emitted from his attack to fade away. He ignored all of the commotion he was getting from the Z-Senshi, and kept his attention on Android 20.
"I believe your time is up," stated Vegeta calmly.
"You seem so certain of yourself. Surely, you used the majority, if not all of your energy on destroying Android 19," replied Android 20.
"I haven't even warmed up yet!" countered Vegeta, smirking.
Beads of artificial sweat began to become evident on android 20's forehead. How? What does he have up his sleeve? What can he be hiding. It looked as if he had used up every last bit of his energy, and it appeared as if he had been exerting himself! Could he have been faking it? I hadn't suspected Goku to gain so much power, and she proved me wrong. Now he has too, but can he really be even stronger? debated Android 20 mentally.
Vegeta, you are one good fibber! thought Piccolo, smiling to himself. "I just hope it works."
"It seems that you are the one that is so sure of yourself!" corrected Vegeta. "What makes you think you'll do any better than your little buddy?"
"I'm way more superior than Android 19!" argued Android 20, angrily.
"Oh, is that so?" asked Vegeta, querying whether the android was telling the truth or not.
"You're skeptical that I'm telling you the truth? I'll prove to you why 19 is obsolete compared to me! I'm his creator! I'm Dr. Gero!" stated the android proudly.
"You're an Android! How could you have come to exist if you're not human? Who's your master? The one that built you," said Vegeta, beginning to get interested in the topic.
"I did. I was originally a human, but humans are weak. So, let's just say I upgraded myself," answered Dr. Gero.
"Fool! That still doesn't prove anything! So what if you have an organic brain? You've got a real human mind… Wow! Like that's really going to make a difference. You're still going to die by my hands!" said Vegeta.
Android 20 began backing up ever so slightly as he thought, He's not lying. He is stronger than me! I can tell he's not lying, he wouldn't be that sure of himself! I'd be able to detect it.
"Why are you moving away from me?" questioned Vegeta, at the retreating android.
The android stopped for a moment, then took to the skies, answering Vegeta's question.
"Damn it, come back here you coward!" yelled Vegeta.
"He turned around, facing Krillin, and said, "Quick, give me a sensu bean!"
"Uh… Yeah… Sure thing!" replied Krillin, nervously tumbling through the items in his pocket.
"Idiot! Hurry up, he's getting away!" shouted Vegeta.
Krillin gasped, "I… uh… must have left them at Bulma's house!" said Krillin, backing away from the seething Vegeta, nervously.
"You what?" screamed Vegeta.
"Well, we can't catch up with him now. Even if we could, it would be pointless. So, we might as well bring Goku back to Capsule Corporation, and get her healed up!" suggested Yamcha, making a move to pick up Goku.
Vegeta instinctively let out a low growl, and pushed Yamcha out of the way without thinking about it. He ignored the other's bewildered stares, and picked up the unconscious Goku bridal style. He took off into the air, and flew away at a slow pace, due to his exhaustion.
"What's his problem?" asked Yamcha, a bit taken aback, "I was only going to help her, not that he should care."
"I believe it was having to do with the way you were looking at Goku," suggested Piccolo, insightfully, "and he may not show it, but I believe he does care, or at least he does subconsciously."
"Why would he care anyways? I mean, he just called her useless garbage a couple of minutes ago?" questioned Yamcha. "I wasn't looking at her funny!" he defended, blushing a bit.
"Well, I'm just saying, ever since the accident, Vegeta has been a bit more protective of her," murmured Piccolo.
Yamcha just stared at Piccolo dumbfoundedly, "I'm still not catching your drift."
Piccolo looked at him oddly, then took off. He had enough of these people for one day. Krillin, on the other hand, shook his head, and clicked his tongue in disappointment.
"I can't believe you would stoop as low as that, Yamcha! Goku is still the same Goku, even if he is a she!" said Krillin, crossing his arms.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Krillin. I wasn't looking at her in any way I shouldn't have been. Do you think I was actually checking out Goku! No! No way would I do that! I don't think she's hot! Not at all!" Yamcha argued, shaking his head continuously.
"Whatever you say, man," replied Krillin, not believing one word that came out of his slightly perverted and apparently disturbed friend's mouth.
