Androids

The next day, Gogito woke up and looked at the bloodstain on the bedsheet. He sighed with emotion. After living two lives, he had finally lost his virginity.

The days that followed were blissful for Gogito. Then, half a year later, Tights became pregnant. Gogito devoted all his time to taking care of her and only trained when he could spare a moment. As Tights's belly grew bigger and bigger, Gogito began to worry about whether he could be a good father. He was lost in uncertainty, but fortunately, Tights was there to encourage him, and he gradually grew confident that he could be a good dad.

Three months into Tights's pregnancy, Bulma also became pregnant with Trunks. Double cause for celebration!

Dr. Brief and Mrs. Brief were so happy they could hardly stop grinning. They smiled all day long.

Vegeta, however, still spent every day focused on training. What an idiot.

Ten months later, Tights gave birth to a girl. Gogito named her Ace, and from then on, he became a complete doting dad.

Whenever Trunks made Ace cry, Gogito would beat up Vegeta, claiming it was "to train your ability to take a beating." Vegeta had no way to complain. He couldn't win a fight against Gogito, and he couldn't run away, either.

Time flew by.

Three years later, Ace was a little over a year old and could walk and talk. Hearing little Ace call him Daddy in her soft, sweet voice melted Gogito's heart. Whatever she wanted, he gave her. Even Beerus had to be her pet cat. That was Gogito's word.

After Ace was born, Gogito was deeply moved and comprehended Perfected Ultra Instinct. He successfully transformed into his silver-haired Ultra Instinct form, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.

Kongbei were also much stronger than their counterparts at the same point in time. They had both reached Super Saiyan 1 Full Power. Kid Gohan had graduated from Master Roshi's training and mastered the Super Saiyan transformation. Gogito had completed his mission.

Everyone else had made clear progress, too.

One day, everyone suddenly sensed that a large number of ki signatures had disappeared in the south. Earth's warriors hurried over to investigate. Gogito hadn't planned to go— they were just Androids, after all—but Bulma and Tights both wanted to see what the Androids looked like. Worried about his wives' safety, Gogito went along.

Goku and Vegeta arrived first and saw only the ruined city. The others soon joined them, and they searched together, but found no trace of the Androids.

Just then, Bulma arrived in an aircraft. Seeing everyone's grim expressions, she knew they hadn't caught the Androids. Tights looked disappointed, then grabbed Gogito's clothes and pleaded,

"Gogito, do you have any ideas?"

Holding his daughter, Gogito said to Bulma,

"Bulma, don't you know roughly where Dr. Gero's lab is? We can just wait for them there."

"Got it!"

"No time to waste. Let's go."

Bulma told everyone where Dr. Gero's lab was, and they set off.

Meanwhile, Dr. Gero and Android 19 were taking a leisurely stroll, completely unaware of the danger. When they returned to the lab, Goku and the others had already been waiting for them for quite some time.

Dr. Gero was baffled to see so many people gathered there. How had they found the place so quickly? He ordered Android 19 to hold them off while he went back to activate Android 17 and Android 18.

Gohan stepped forward to face Android 19. Goku and Vegeta stayed put, both wanting to see how strong the Androids were.

Gohan didn't waste time. He transformed into a Super Saiyan and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Android 19. Android 19 seized his chance, grabbed Gohan's arm, and began absorbing his energy. But Gohan had been trained by Master Roshi and had witnessed a hellish future. He wasn't the least bit careless. At that moment, he was just like Goku as a boy, fresh from completing his training: he showed no mercy to evil and wiped it out completely.

Back then, Kid Goku's enemies had been the Red Ribbon Army. Now, Gohan's enemies were the Red Ribbon Army, too. The similarity was uncanny.

Gohan put all his strength into it and tore off Android 19's arms. Realizing he was in trouble, Android 19 tried to escape, but Gohan finished him off with a ki blast.

Dr. Gero successfully activated Android 17 and Android 18. The lab doors slowly swung open, and Dr. Gero burst into laughter. He had no idea Goku and Vegeta had become so powerful, because Gogito had destroyed the miniature robots he'd sent out before they could even get close.

"Prepare to die! Hahahaha!"

Before Dr. Gero could finish laughing, a hand pierced his chest. It was Android 17. Dr. Gero turned around in disbelief, about to say something, but Android 17 kicked his head clean off.

"Shut up, old man. Who'd listen to you anyway?"

Android 17 dusted off his hands. As he was about to turn around, he spotted Son Goku in the crowd.

"Son Goku!"

Hearing Android 17 call out, Android 18 turned around, too.

"Huh? You know me?"

Goku asked, puzzled.

Gohan explained,

"Dad, they're Androids made by Dr. Gero. He created them to get revenge on Son Goku, who wiped out the Red Ribbon Army. Didn't I tell you about this before?"

Gohan was a little exasperated. His dad really made him worry. No wonder Mom was always telling him to study hard—she was afraid he'd turn into an idiot like this.

"He's right. We're Androids created to get revenge on you."

Android 17 confirmed Gohan's explanation.

"Clang!"

The lid covering Android 16 fell to the ground, drawing everyone's attention. Just before, Android 18 had been about to call Android 17 over to look, but accidentally hit the activation button. Android 16's huge frame emerged from the chamber.

Android 16's expression remained blank as he scanned the crowd. He only reacted when he saw Son Goku and Vegeta.

"Android 16, were you made to kill Son Goku, too?" Android 18 asked him.

"That's right," Android 16 answered expressionlessly.

"Son Goku is right there. Let's kill him," Android 17 said, pointing at Goku as he invited Android 16 to join him.

"No. According to my readings, Son Goku's energy far exceeds the combined total of the three of us. The same goes for Vegeta."

Android 16 stated the facts, but Android 17 refused to believe him. According to Dr. Gero's data, he was the strongest person in the world.

"Hmph! You're not bad at judging strength for a hunk of scrap metal!"

Hearing Android 16's words, Vegeta complimented him.

Unable to accept that he wasn't the strongest in the world, Android 17 charged at Vegeta to prove himself.

"Hmph! Pathetic."

Seeing Android 17 charge at him, Vegeta looked disdainful. He transformed into a Super Saiyan and knocked Android 17 to the ground with a single blow.

Was Vegeta wondering to himself what it had felt like for Gogito to beat him? Back then, he must have looked like a complete clown.

Gogito: Exactly. That's just what you were thinking.
