Note :- Guys , Sorry for not posting i had my Final Exam .
At that moment, Vegeta finally noticed the unconscious Android 81 resting on Gohan's clone's back.
His expression immediately darkened.
"What now?" Vegeta asked with a frown "You're even letting that thing live?"
Gohan scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Well as you saw, she protected Piccolo and the others earlier."
"So no," he said honestly, "I can't kill her now."
Vegeta clicked his tongue in annoyance as Clearly, he still disliked the idea But after a moment, he simply turned away and looked at the sky silently.
Then Gohan looked around at everyone.
"I'm heading back to Aunt Bulma's place for now," he said. "I still need better control over some things."
Then he asked,
"Do you guys want to come too?"
Tien Shinhan shook his head first.
"No," he answered calmly. "Chiaotzu and I are going to continue searching for Launch."
Beside him, Chiaotzu nodded immediately.
Gohan blinked once.
Even now, he still found it funny how everyone somehow kept forgetting about Launch from time to time Even in the Canon , people acted like she randomly vanished from existence.
"I'm not going either," Yamcha said while rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
"I'll head to Kami's Lookout instead."
As Everyone immediately understood why After all, Bulma was now Vegeta's wife and Things between Yamcha and Bulma had become painfully awkward long ago and deep down, Yamcha knew much of it was his own fault.
Back when he dated Bulma, he constantly flirted with other women and Donr Snu Snu with them that leed to his ruined relationship .
Even now, there was still regret hidden behind his usual relaxed attitude Then Gohan suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right, Uncle Yamcha If you see Kami , can you ask him about How much he Upgrade Dragon Balls? I'm not sure how far he got."
Yamcha nodded.
"Sure. I'll tell him."
Then Gohan looked toward Krillin.
"What about you,Uncle Krillin?"
Krillin smiled.
"Yeah, I'll come I haven't seen Bulma or Chi-Chi in a while anyway."
Then suddenly, Piccolo looked like he wanted to say something But he stayed silent as Gohan immediately understood anyway.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Come with us, Uncle Piccolo."
Piccolo crossed his arms.
"…Fine."
At that moment, Krillin looked confused.
"By the way, Gohan Why do you always call Piccolo 'Uncle Piccolo'? I mean when he trained you, he wasn't even that old himself."
Everyone looked toward Gohan curiously heck Even Vegeta glanced sideways slightly.
Gohan thought about it for a moment.
"Well it's not really about age When I was little, I didn't understand much But back then, Piccolo was the one guiding me as He always acted more mature than everyone else."
As Gohan spoke, Piccolo narrowed his eyes slightly while pretending not to listen.
"At first, he trained me really harshly," Gohan continued with a laugh.
Piccolo immediately looked away awkwardly.
"But over time, we started bonding and after hearing Dad talk about Piccolo before I realized he wasn't really evil anymore."
Gohan smiled softly at the memories.
"Then on Earth and Namek When Piccolo took that attack for me I don't know After that, calling him 'Uncle Piccolo' just felt natural . It was probably my way of showing respect."
As Gohan smiled warmly, everyone slowly turned toward Piccolo.
The Namekian had already turned his head far away from the group.
"…Tch."
But despite his usual cold attitude as a small tear quietly rolled down the side of his face before he quickly wiped it away.
Because deep down, Piccolo also cared about Gohan more than he ever admitted To him, Gohan was not just a student or a friend.
Gohan was the first person who truly saw him as more than a monster and over the years, while training and protecting him Piccolo had slowly started seeing Gohan almost like a son of his own.
"Then how about this?" Son Gohan said while looking at everyone.
"We'll meet again once Kami upgrades the Dragon Balls and they're ready to use."
Then he smiled toward Tien Shinhan.
"And Uncle Tien I hope you bring Launch with you next time."
Tien gave a small rare smile and nodded.
"I'll try."
Gohan waved at everyone.
"Well then… goodbye, everyone."
At the same time, Vegeta clicked his tongue and flew off in another direction without saying another word.
One by one, everyone separated and headed their own ways.
As Gohan flew toward the ruined area around Capsule Corporation, he used telepathy to contact his mother.
"Mom, I'm coming back."
The moment Chi-Chi heard his voice, relief instantly filled her heart.
Soon, Gohan arrived near Capsule Corporation.
Behind him followed Krillin, Piccolo, and one of Gohan's clones carrying the unconscious Android 18.
"GOHAN!"
Chi-Chi rushed outside the moment she sensed him as Tears immediately spilled down her face She had been terrified the entire time.
The clone gently placed Android 18 on the ground and then
Poof.
It disappeared into smoke.
But Chi-Chi was so focused on Gohan that she did not even notice She immediately grabbed Gohan's shoulders and started checking him from head to toe.
"Are you hurt?!"
"Did you eat properly?!"
"You didn't overwork yourself again, right?!"
Gohan laughed helplessly and hugged her back.
"I'm fine, Mom."
After finally calming down a little, Chi-Chi let him go Then her eyes suddenly landed on the unconscious Black haired woman nearby.
"…Eh?"
Gohan followed her gaze and Without thinking too much, he bent down and picked Android 18 up carefully.
Chi-Chi blinked in confusion.
"Gohan…" she asked slowly.
"Who is she?"
Then suddenly, her eyes widened.
"Wait a minute! Is she your girlfriend? When did you had time for THIS!"
Gohan nearly choked on air hearing that.
Even Piccolo silently looked away while Krillin desperately tried not to laugh.
"MOM!" Gohan shouted with a red face.
"What are you even talking about? ! It's not like that! She's just unconscious! and When she wakes up, she'll leave!"
"Ohhh…"
Chi-Chi looked slightly disappointed for some reason Fortunately, she did not recognize Android 18 at all After all, she had only seen the original Android 18 before not this newer altered body.
And Gohan fully understood that So for now, he decided not to explain the truth.
Because if Chi-Chi found out the girl he was carrying was actually one of the Androids who terrorized Earth She might genuinely faint on the spot.
Besides, Chi-Chi and Dr. Brief had never personally seen the newer Android bodies before.
Only Bulma, Krillin, Yamcha, and a few others knew that Androids 17 and 18 were now using different modified bodies .
"Alright, guys, let's head inside. I still need to talk with Aunt Bulma," Son Gohan said.
He picked up the unconscious Android 18 carefully in his arms before heading down toward Capsule Corporation's underground basement.
Krillin and Piccolo followed behind him.
Inside the basement laboratory, Bulma was completely focused on her work.
She was busy soldering parts together while several monitors flashed around her and She did not even look up.
Seeing this, Gohan sighed helplessly.
"Aunt Bulma, I'm here."
Only then did Bulma glance toward him.
"Oh, good timing, Gohan," she said quickly "You can check the surveillance footage first I copied it into that desktop."
"I'm still finishing the controller."
"Got it," Gohan replied.
He walked toward the computer and sat down while Krillin and Piccolo stood behind him curiously.
Gohan activated the computer.
Even now, Dragonball Earth's technology still surprised him sometimes.
After gaining knowledge from Medas and Og Gohan's memories and technology, normal Earth computers felt primitive because Dragonball world technology was ridiculously advanced.
Even ordinary systems here were far beyond what in his past live were considered Abovehigh-end.
"No wonder Dr. Gero managed to create Androids like this if i had even basic Pc of this World i will get 1000+ FPS on Red Dead Redemption 2 in Lower Setting" Gohan thought.
Soon, he found the video file and opened it.
The footage showed the destroyed remains of Dr. Gero's laboratory and at first, nothing moved then Everything looked silent.
Empty.
Then suddenly A dark figure appeared on the screen
Only for a moment.
The person's appearance was blurry and covered in shadow. Their face could not be seen clearly at all.
But the instant Gohan saw him His pupils shrank as The figure disappeared again after only two seconds.
Then the footage ended.
Behind him, Krillin and Piccolo looked confused as They could not recognize the person.
But Gohan could.
"It's him…" Gohan thought grimly.
"The same figure from Meda's memories and The same person who ordered Medas to attack Namek…"
A chill ran down Gohan's spine as He still had no idea who that mysterious figure truly was Whether it was some enemy connected to Hero timeline or someone even worse.
"Could it be someone like Goku Black Or something connected to those future timelines?"
Gohan clenched his fist slightly and Why was this person targeting him specifically?
Krillin frowned.
"Gohan… who was that guy? and What exactly are we looking at here?"
Gohan's expression turned serious.
"I don't know who he is But I know one thing that He's my enemy."
Piccolo narrowed his eyes immediately.
Gohan continued quietly.
"He's the one who sent Medas after me on Namek and now it looks like he's trying to kill me again."
Krillin and Piccolo exchanged tense looks as both of them immediately understood the implication.
The Android crisis was not truly over as There was still another enemy hiding somewhere in the shadows Watching them and Planning something.
Gohan folded his arms.
"Right now, this video is all we have and We don't know where he is and we don't know when he'll appear again."
"So everyone needs to stay careful."
Then he added,
"And this is one of the reasons I let Android 16 go."
Krillin blinked.
"Huh?"
"If another threat attacks Earth someday," Gohan explained, "we might need every strong fighter we can get."
"Android 16 isn't evil So sparing him was the better choice."
Piccolo nodded slowly and said .
"That makes sense."
"I'll inform Tien, Yamcha, and even Vegeta later," Gohan continued.
"If anyone notices something suspicious, they'll contact us immediately."
Piccolo crossed his arms and said .
"You should be the most careful, Gohan as He's already targeted you twice."
Gohan nodded silently.
Then Krillin hesitated.
"Should we tell Bulma ,Goku and Chi-Chi?"
Gohan immediately shook his head.
"No. Not yet as There's no point making them panic without more information. We'll stay alert ourselves for now."
Krillin nodded slowly.
"Yeah! good idea."
For a while, the room became quiet.
All three of them had originally thought the Android disaster was finally over but now Another threat was lurking somewhere in the darkness.
Watching them.
At that moment, Bulma suddenly walked over proudly holding a small device.
"Done!" she announced Happily "I finished the controller you asked Gohan."
Gohan's serious expression immediately softened.
"Amazing work, Aunt Bulma."
He gave her a thumbs-up.
Bulma smirked proudly.
"Of course it's amazing. I made it."
Then she crossed her arms.
"So? What did you learn from the video?"
Krillin almost answered immediately but Gohan quietly shook his head first.
"Not much," he said calmly "Just some shadowy guy though I couldn't identify him but don't worry, Aunt Bulma we'll handle it."
Bulma sighed.
"Well, good enough for me."
Then she casually rubbed Gohan's hair.
"Ah, stop doing that!" Gohan complained while pulling away awkwardly.
Bulma laughed.
Then Gohan stood up.
"I'll head outside for a bit I'll be back soon."
As he entered the living room He immediately froze.
Chi-Chi was sitting on the couch while pinching Android 18's(81) cheeks repeatedly.
Because of Android 18's black hair in her altered appearance, Chi-Chi seemed to be treating her like some cute doll.
"Mom…" Gohan said helplessly "Stop playing with her."
Chi-Chi looked up innocently.
"What? She's cute!"
Gohan sighed deeply.
"I'm taking her out for a while i think I should help her reunite with her family first."
He carefully picked Android 18 (81) up again and headed toward the door.
After he left Chi-Chi looked toward Bulma in confusion.
Meanwhile, Bulma had only caught a quick glimpse of the woman Gohan was carrying.
"…Wait a second," Bulma said slowly "What exactly is going on here?"
Chi-Chi folded her arms confidently.
"These kids nowadays are way too impatient but that girl really was pretty."
