As Son Gohan, Clone Gohan carrying 18, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Krillin flew across the sky, they followed the massive Ki signatures toward the ocean.
The closer they got, the more violent the atmosphere became and Soon They finally saw them.
Far above the sea, Vegeta and Android 16 were fighting head-to-head.
BOOM!!
Their fists collided again and The impact alone created enormous shockwaves that exploded across the ocean, forming massive walls of water and tsunamis that rushed toward nearby islands and coastlines.
Once again Earth suffered simply because beings far too powerful existed on it.
Thankfully, both Vegeta and Android 16 were consciously controlling their attacks Otherwise, even a careless blast from either of them could have destroyed the entire planet and turned Earth itself into glowing debris floating through space.
High above the clouds, the two fighters moved so fast they appeared like flashes of light as from Below, Gohan and the others watched silently without blinking.
Everyone could sense it that Vegeta was slightly stronger physically But Gohan also understood the real problem.
Android 16 possessed an infinite energy reactor and His stamina would never run out an Meanwhile, Vegeta's ki continued decreasing little by little as the battle dragged on.
The longer the fight lasted The worse things became for Vegeta.
Punch after punch and Kick after kick.
Both fighters were covered in injuries by now, yet neither stepped back even once.
Still Vegeta was clearly becoming irritated.
Meanwhile,
Android 16 remained completely silent.Like a machine as Ever since the battle began, he had not spoken a single word.
In the next instant BOOOOM!!
The two crashed down through an entire forest below as Countless giant trees collapsed like paper.
Animals and birds fled in terror as shockwaves spread through the land again and again as Some birds managed to fly into the sky Only to be blasted back down by the pressure of the battle itself.
"How long are these two going to keep fighting?" Tien muttered nervously while staring upward.
"This is getting insane…"
Piccolo narrowed his eyes carefully while analyzing the fight as Over the years, he had developed a sharp instinct for battle as He could usually tell when a fight was escalating and When it would reach its climax and when it would finally end.
After watching silently for several moments, Piccolo glanced toward Gohan beside him.
"What do you think, Gohan?"
Gohan kept his eyes fixed on the battle before answering calmly.
"Yeah. You're right, Piccolo It's almost over."
Then his expression became serious.
"But Vegeta might lose."
"What?!" Krillin and Yamcha shouted together.
They looked back toward the battlefield in confusion.
"But Vegeta's dominating the fight right now!" said Krillin
"Yeah!" Yamcha added. "Android 16's mostly been defending himself!"
"That's exactly the problem," Gohan explained as Everyone looked toward him.
"Vegeta knows his stamina is running out. So he's trying to end the fight as quickly as possible."
Gohan pointed toward Android 16.
"But look carefully Android 16's energy hasn't dropped at all as He has infinite stamina and while Vegeta's ki keeps decreasing and 16 can keep fighting forever."
Silence fell over the group Then the realization slowly hit them.
"Oh…" Krillin muttered "So that's what's happening."
Even Piccolo nodded slightly after analyzing the fight more carefully as Everyone continued silently watching the battle unfold across the sky.
As Piccolo and other's continued watching the battlefield carefully, Son Gohan narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the distance, he watch his clone was sitting beside Unconsous Android 18 while keeping an eye on the battlefield as well.
At the same time, Gohan used telepathy.
"Bulma, are you alright over there?" he asked.
The response came instantly.
"GOHAN!"
Relief filled Bulma's voice so strongly that she almost sounded like she was about to cry.
"That horrible old man, Dr. Gero, attacked Capsule Corporation earlier!"
"He nearly Killed Dad! and I seriously thought I was going to lose Trunks and everyone else!"
She took a shaky breath before continuing.
"Dad said Piccolo and the others lured him away, but I'm still terrified! and Everything is completely insane right now!"
Then her voice became serious.
"When are you coming back to Earth?"
Gohan sighed softly.
"Bulma I'm already back on Earth and I destroyed Dr. Gero."
Everyone nearby blinked after hearing Gohan casually say that through telepathy.
"And right now Vegeta's fighting Android 16 We'll deal with the situation soon."
Then Gohan remembered something important.
"By the way, do you still have the Android blueprints I gave you from Dr. Gero's laboratory? you know The design files."
Bulma immediately understood.
"You want to make a shutdown remote for the Androids?"
"Exactly."
Bulma answered confidently,
"I already researched those blueprints before and I can build one pretty quickly."
"Perfect," Gohan replied. "I'll come pick it up later."
"Bye, Bulma."
The telepathic connection ended as Gohan looked toward Android 18 again as She was currently unconscious while resting beside his clone.
"I could probably repair or wake her up myself using Meda's Terrarian technology," Gohan thought.
"But no That would just create unnecessary complications." besides, Android 18's body was mostly organic as She was more of a cyborg than a full machine.
Repairing or modifying her directly would require removing mechanical sections hidden beneath flesh and skin.
" Yeah, definitely better to leave that to Bulma."
Gohan immediately pushed that mental image away and Then suddenly The ki explosions stopped with The shaking forest finally settled down.
Everyone looked toward the distant battlefield but Gohan could still sense Vegeta's ki.
"So he's alive," Gohan muttered."But his stamina's probably completely drained."
"Let's go."
as Gohan flew downward toward the battlefield and The others followed immediately, including his clone carrying Android 18.
After landing, everyone finally saw the result of the battle that Vegeta was still standing.
Barely.
His chest rose heavily with every breath while sweat poured down his face. His left hand tightly gripped his injured right arm, and even his legs were trembling slightly.
At this point, simply remaining standing looked like Vegeta's limit.
Meanwhile
Android 16 was lying motionless beneath a giant broken tree as A small bird had even landed peacefully on top of his shoulder.
The tiny animal hopped around him fearlessly but Gohan immediately understood why.
As Android 16 was naturally gentle and Unlike the other Androids, he genuinely loved nature, animals, and life itself.
Even animals could instinctively sense that kindness That was why they were never afraid of him.
Meanwhile, Vegeta still radiated terrifying pressure even while exhausted. Krillin and the others avoided getting too close to him.
Honestly, Yamcha looked a little satisfied seeing Vegeta in such a battered state for once.
Seeing their expressions, Gohan sighed helplessly. Then he walked toward Vegeta and held out half a Senzu Bean.
Vegeta did not move not because he refused it But because his body was so exhausted he could barely even lift his arm anymore.
His eyes twitched irritably.
"You can't even move your hand anymore, huh?" Gohan said with a grin.
Vegeta glared at him furiously and Without warning, Gohan shoved the half Senzu Bean directly into Vegeta's mouth.
Vegeta's eyes widened instantly as The Saiyan prince immediately tried to spit it out in pure reflex.
Then Gohan laughed from behind him.
"You probably shouldn't spit that out,That's a Senzu Bean."
Vegeta froze for half a second and then immediately swallowed it whole.
and The effect activated instantly as Steam burst from Vegeta's body as his injuries rapidly recovered.
His exhausted muscles regained Some strength almost immediately, and his fading ki surged back to life once again.
After recovering, the very first thing Vegeta did was glare at Son Gohan.
"You brat…" Vegeta growled.
But before continuing, his eyes shifted toward Android 16 lying beneath the broken tree.
"First, I'll finish him," Vegeta said coldly. "Then we'll deal with you later."
Golden ki immediately gathered in Vegeta's palm as he prepared another blast But before he could fire Gohan grabbed his wrist.
As The Ki energy attack vanished instantly.
"Wait, Vegeta," Gohan said calmly. "This Android isn't actually evil You can spare him."
For a second, Vegeta looked confused then his face twisted with anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" he snapped "I don't care whether he's good or evil! If something threatens my world and my BULM----"
He suddenly stopped speaking halfway through but Gohan immediately understood what Vegeta almost said.
As a mischievous smile slowly appeared on his face and Vegeta instantly realized it too.
"You !"
"Kakarot's brat!" Vegeta shouted furiously while his face reddened slightly "Don't misunderstand anything!"
Inside his mind, Vegeta became even more irritated.
"Why is this brat so much like Kakarot?" he thought "They both somehow know exactly how to get on my nerves"
Meanwhile,
Gohan ignored Vegeta completely and walked toward Android 16 and Then he lightly tapped the giant Android on the shoulder.
"Hey," Gohan said casually. "You can stop pretending now i know You're awake."
A few seconds later, Android 16 slowly opened his eyes and stood up as Everyone behind Gohan immediately became tense again.
But Gohan only smiled calmly as The moment he arrived earlier, he had already realized Android 16 was never unconscious.
He had only been pretending.
After all, Gohan understood the kind of person Android 16 truly was Unlike the others, 16 genuinely loved life, nature, and animals and after seeing Dr. Gero attack innocent people, 16 clearly no longer wanted to follow him.
That was why, when Vegeta tried attacked Dr.Gero earlier, Android 16 threw Gero away toward the forest in oder to protect him.
He intentionally created an opportunity for Piccolo and the others to deal with Dr.Gero .
That way, Android 16 technically never directly betrayed his programming as He simply found a loophole around it.
Seeing Android 16 standing there completely unharmed and still full of energy, Vegeta's pupils shrank slightly.
If 16 had attacked earlier while Vegeta could barely stand then He probably would have died.
Android 16 looked down at Gohan carefully.
"What do you want?" he asked in his calm mechanical voice.
Gohan smiled slightly.
"I don't want anything."
He folded his arms.
"I can tell you never actually wanted to fight as You only obeyed Dr. Gero because of your programming But you understood what kind of person he really was A murderer."
Android 16 remained silent but Gohan continued calmly.
"I know what trick you pulled earlier too and The loophole you found as You wanted Piccolo and the others to stop Dr. Gero while you kept fighting Vegeta."
Android 16's eyes narrowed slightly as He was genuinely surprised Gohan understood his actions so clearly.
Gohan smiled faintly.
"After all, I know what kind of person you are as You care about life, love nature and you genuinely care about Earth."
Then Gohan's tone became more serious.
"I'll let you go But if Earth ever needs your power someday then I hope you'll protect it."
Android 16 frowned slightly.
"Why should I listen to you?" he asked as Part of him was still confused that How could Gohan understand him this well?
Then suddenly Gohan's smile disappeared as An enormous pressure silently spread from his body.
The atmosphere itself became heavy as Gohan looked directly into Android 16's eyes.
"You can sense my power, right? You already know I can destroy you very easily."
His voice remained calm.
"But I'm not negotiating here I simply don't want another Android disaster happening again."
As The pressure around him slowly increased.
Android 16 stared at Gohan silently for several long seconds.
Then finally He nodded once.
"Understood."
Instantly, Gohan's serious expression disappeared as He smiled warmly again.
"Good Then go live however you want and Be free and If you love nature that much, maybe work at a wildlife sanctuary or somewhere peaceful i mean You'd probably like that."
Android 16 stood still for a moment Then, very slightly He smiled back at Gohan.
