"It's good I made it in time," Gohan said as he walked toward the group "So Nobody's seriously hurt, right?"

He looked over Yamcha, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and finally Piccolo as Piccolo crossed his arms and gave a faint smile.

"No, Mostly exhaustion and injuries from fighting," he replied calmly. "We'll recover in a few days."

Even so, Piccolo could clearly sense that Gohan had become far stronger.

As Gohan's mentor and someone who had practically become a second father to him Piccolo honestly felt proud.

Krillin ,Tien nodded as well.

"Same here," Krillin said. "We can still move, at least."

Even Yamcha managed a weak laugh Barely.

Hearing that, Gohan relaxed slightly Still, after seeing their condition, he decided to use Senzu Beans.

Unfortunately, because of everything that had happened recently, there were only a few left After thinking for a moment, Gohan pulled out three Senzu Beans.

Then, very carefully, he split one bean into two tiny pieces before handing them out and Afterward, he immediately stored the last remaining bean carefully inside his cloak like it was priceless treasure.

Yamcha stared at the tiny piece in his hand.

"Wait," he said suspiciously. "Can we even eat them like this? Will this actually work?"

Gohan scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Well ! Honestly, I've never tried it before It should probably work."

Everyone looked unsure but eventually swallowed the tiny pieces.

The moment they did Warm energy spread through their bodies instantly as Their stamina and ki recovered rapidly.

Although their injuries were not completely healed, they immediately felt much lighter and stronger.

At the very least, they could now move and fly normally again.

"It actually worked!" Yamcha shouted in shock while jumping to his feet.

Gohan grinned proudly.

"See? I told you it probably would."

Seeing everyone recover made Gohan visibly relax Then Piccolo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gohan," he said seriously, "how did you absorb Dr. Gero's attack? Only Androids should be capable of something like that."

Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu immediately looked toward Gohan as well heraing them Gohan rubbed the back of his neck while thinking about how to explain it.

"Well it's kind of complicated.You all know I fought Medas , right?"

Everyone nodded immediately as Gohan continued,

"Medas wasn't completely alive . His thinking and Consiousness was artificial intelligence and hadna partial soul and ody made up of Macine and Planet of Metal Kitchen ."

" So I destroyed his consciousness first and What remained afterward was basically an empty planetary-scale body searching for a mind."

As Everyone stared blankly.

Then Gohan continued casually, which somehow made the explanation even crazier.

"So I used one of the advanced mental-binding methods from the mind arts book he gave me."

"Rule 99058."

hearing this Piccolo's eyes twitched slightly.

"There are really over Ninety nine thousand rules in that thing…?"

as Gohan ignored the comment.

"I connected that body to my own mind and soul."

He lightly touched his cloak.

"So now this isn't normal clothing anymore. It's made from Medas body." hearing him Everyone froze completely.

"…WHAT?!" they shouted together.

Krillin nearly choked.

"W-Wait a second!" he yelled. "Wasn't Medas literally planet-sized?!"

"Yeah," Yamcha added nervously. "How are you even wearing that?!"

Gohan shrugged casually.

"It can reshape itself so I compressed and minimized it to take this form and the denser it became, the stronger it became."

He knocked lightly against his cloak.

"So now it works like insanely durable armor and since the body still stores massive amounts of energy and oxygen…"

Gohan pointed upward toward space.

"I don't really need to breathe in space anymore The oxygen reserves inside it are basically equivalent to an entire planet's atmosphere."

The group stared at Gohan as if he had suddenly become an alien as Even Piccolo looked speechless for several seconds as Finally, Yamcha slowly raised one trembling finger.

"I understood maybe ten percent of that."

but then Gohan narrowed his eyes and looked toward the unconscious black-haired girl lying on the ground.

Blood stained the corner of her mouth, and her breathing was weak to almost none.

"Android 81," Gohan muttered.

"If that isn't her, then who else would it be?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense again as Gohan slowly turned toward the others.

"Piccolo. Krillin. Yamcha. Tien."

His voice became colder.

"Didn't she try to kill all of you before? Am I wrong?"

As he spoke, a ki blast instantly formed in his palm as He raised his hand toward Android 18/81, ready to finish her off immediately.

"WAIT!"

Krillin suddenly shouted as Gohan stopped hearing him as The Ki energy Blast in his hand flickered before slowly fading away.

"Gohan," Krillin said seriously, "Android 18 saved us just now."

Gohan frowned slightly.

"…What happened?"

Krillin quickly explained everything that How Android 18 had regained parts of her memories [Which gohan know's] and How Dr. Gero had kidnapped her and her brother and How they had been modified, manipulated, and turned into killing machines against their will.

And finally How she had turned against Dr. Gero and protected them earlier.

After hearing the entire story, Gohan became quiet and Then he looked strangely toward Krillin.

"You're all seriously willing to forgive her? Especially you, Uncle Krillin After how she killed You?"

Krillin scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"Well after hearing everything, it sounds like she and Android 17 were victims too so They weren't doing all that because they wanted to and today she saved us and You revived all the People ."

Krillin sighed.

"So as long as she doesn't go back to killing people I don't really care anymore."

Gohan then looked toward the others.

"And the rest of you?"

Yamcha rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"A real Man doesn't hold grudges forever," he said with a forced laugh.

as Tien and Piccolo remained silent for a moment before nodding calmly as Seeing everyone agree, Gohan finally sighed.

"Alright I'll check her condition first."

He walked over and crouched beside Android 18 as Right now, she looked nothing like the terrifying Android from before as Blood covered parts of her clothes and lips.

She looked less like a monster and more like a dying girl barely hanging onto life as Gohan carefully lifted her upper body and rested her against his lap.

Then he created clean water from Medas Mody which has this king of Technology and poured some over a towel to wipe away the blood from her face.

Unfortunately, in his hurry, he accidentally spilled soem water all over her as Nearby, Krillin happened to see the entire thing.

He stared silently with the most dumbfounded expression imaginable as Gohan immediately coughed awkwardly.

"Don't just stand there," he muttered. "Help look for the shutdown remote."

"S-Sure."

Krillin quickly turned away and started searching the area while the others joined in.

Meanwhile, Gohan continued cleaning the blood away carefully and Then suddenly he felt something poking his arm as he look down and look at 18 chest as He blinked.

" So the Pink Color one."

For a second, Gohan's brain completely stopped working as His face instantly became awkward.

He immediately looked away and focused harder on cleaning the wounds instead as Every time he wiped blood away, however, more blood kept appearing.

"Hm She probably won't survive much longer at this rate," Gohan thought seriously.

Without wasting time, he pulled out another tiny piece of Senzu Bean.

Carefully opening Android 18's lips slightly, he placed the bean inside her mouth and raised her head enough to pour a little water in.

"This seriously feels like feeding medicine to a sick cat," Gohan thought helplessly But after waiting several seconds, she still could not swallow on her own.

Gohan sighed.

Then, with no other choice, he leaned down and carefully crushed the Senzu Bean inside her mouth himself so it would dissolve faster.

A few moments later The bleeding finally stopped as Color slowly returned to Android 18/81's face.

Her breathing also stabilized Only then did Gohan relax slightly afterward, he looked back toward the others.

"Did you find the remote?"

Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and the others all shook their heads.

"No," Krillin answered. "We searched everywhere."

Gohan suddenly froze Then he remembered something important.

Earlier, he had punched straight through Dr. Gero's chest while the scientist was still wearing his lab coat.

"…Crap."

Everyone looked toward him.

Gohan scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"I think I destroyed the remote by accident Probably along with Dr.Gero."

Hearing him Piccolo crossed his arms.

"So what now? What are you planning to do with 18?"

Gohan thought quietly for a few seconds before answering.

"I'll carry her with us for now. Then I'll ask Bulma to build another remote I already gave her Dr. Gero's old research data before, so recreating it shouldn't be impossible."

He glanced down toward the unconscious Android 18.

"Since all of you already agreed to let her go I'll release her after she wakes up."

"But."

His eyes sharpened slightly.

"If she starts killing innocent people again I'll Destroy her and will show no Mercy ."

Everyone silently nodded as Gohan Know the situation that Androids 17 and 18 were victims too as The real monster had been Dr. Gero all along and now That monster had already been reduced to scraps of metal scattered across the forest by him.

Still, the deaths caused by 17 and 18 could not simply be erased either as Things were not that simple anymore.

"Fine," Piccolo said calmly. "We'll trust your judgment, Gohan." as The others nodded in agreement as well.

Then Piccolo looked toward the distant explosions still echoing across the horizon.

"What about Vegeta's battle?" he asked. "Should we stop him before things get worse?"

Gohan stood up while carefully supporting Android 18 Then he shook his head.

"No, Knowing Vegeta, there's no way he wants anyone interfering in this fight."

Far away, another shockwave exploded through the sky.

as Gohan narrowed his eyes slightly while sensing the battle.

"Their power levels are still pretty even , Let Vegeta enjoy the fight for now."

He then gave a small shrug.

"If things get out of hand I'll step in and end it myself."

Piccolo and the others exchanged glances before nodding as At this point, nobody doubted Gohan's strength anymore.

Then Gohan suddenly paused.

"Actually."

Everyone looked at him curiously and The next second, Gohan raised two fingers and with a burst of ki flashed beside him suddenly another Gohan appeared out of nowhere.

The clone looked completely identical to him as Gohan Handed Android 18 to him .

"You, handle it," the said Gohan said casually to which clone noded and took android 18 into his Arm.

as The entire group froze.

"…WHAT?!" they shouted together as Yamcha nearly jumped backward.

"Gohan, what the heck is THAT?!"

Gohan scratched his cheek and laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, this ? It's one of the techniques I picked up during my trip to Namek , Don't think of him as a normal ki clone though."

Then Gohan grinned proudly.

"He actually has about half my strength."

as Krillin stared at the clone with wide eyes.

" Can it talk?"

The clone immediately smiled and waved politely.

"Oh, hello, Uncle Krillin, I can talk just fine."

as Krillin jumped in shock and Then after staring at the clone for several seconds He burst out laughing.

"This thing is amazing!"

Krillin immediately started circling around the clone while poking its arm and face repeatedly.

"So you're really solid?! This is creepy! but Good Creepy"

The others looked equally stunned Even Tien seemed impressed as Piccolo simply crossed his arms silently, though even he looked surprised.

Gohan laughed lightly at everyone's reactions.

"Alright," he said while floating into the sky.

"Let's go watch Vegeta's fight."

Beside him, the clone carrying Android 18 also rose into the air as One by one, the others followed after them toward the battlefield.
