Seeing Android 17 taken down by a single kick from Vegeta, Android 18 was about to rush forward when she was held back by Android 16.

"The gap between you is too vast. Even if you go up there, it's useless."

"So what, are we just supposed to sit here and let them kill us?"

Android 18 retorted to Android 16.

Android 16 replied:

"Based on Son Goku's personality, he will not kill us."

"How is that possible?"

Android 18 still couldn't believe it. They were created for the sole purpose of killing Son Goku; how could he possibly let them go?

"He is right. I won't kill you, but if you do anything evil, I will definitely eliminate you."

Son Goku could even let Frieza go—if Frieza hadn't sought his own death, Son Goku wouldn't have killed him. The same applied to these Androids; as long as they didn't commit any heinous acts, Son Goku wouldn't bother with them.

Afterward, Son Goku and the others left, leaving Bulma and Tights behind. Bulma asked the three Androids:

"You don't have anywhere to go right now, do you? Would you like to come to my house? I can arrange jobs for you."

"This..."

Android 18 hesitated, while Android 16 remained silent.

"I am the richest person in the world; arranging jobs for you is a piece of cake."

Bulma played her trump card, striking Android 18's weak spot, and Android 18 agreed without hesitation.

Bulma brought the three of them back to the aircraft. Gogito was having a great time playing with his daughter. Seeing Bulma and Tights bring the Androids back, he was a bit surprised, but he didn't say anything.

Bulma started the aircraft. Not long after they took off, it suddenly occurred to Gogito that Cell was still in the basement of the laboratory. He opened the aircraft door and fired a Ki Blast, obliterating the entire laboratory and its surroundings. If Cell could still survive that, then it was his destiny to live, and he would spare him.

After returning to West City, Son Goku and Vegeta sought out Gogito again. Every so often over the past few years, they would find Gogito for a spar. Although it always ended in a crushing defeat, the two of them never tired of it.

After sending the two away and returning home, Bulma and Tights were chatting with Android 17 and Android 18, while Android 16 stayed quietly to the side. Aisu seemed to like Android 16, crawling all over him, poking here and looking there. Seeing Gogito return, she ran over happily.

"Daddy, hug!"

Gogito picked up his daughter, kissed her on the cheek, and asked:

"Did you miss Daddy?"

"Yes."

Aisu leaned against Gogito's chest and kissed him back.

"How much did you miss me?"

"So, so much."

Aisu gestured with her hands as she spoke, looking incredibly adorable.

Gogito sat beside Tights with his daughter in his arms, listening to them chat while teasing her.

The three Androids stayed at Bulma's house just like that.

The Androids arc concludes here.

As Aisu gradually grew up, Tights' desire to be the queen of science fiction novels stirred once again. She hadn't written a novel in many years, so she asked Gogito to take her to the timeline he had visited last time—the one with two Trunks.

Gogito agreed without a second thought; he loved to spoil his wife. Thus, Gogito brought Tights and Aisu to the future timeline.

The Bulma of this timeline was already very old. Seeing her sister again, she was overjoyed. To be able to see her family again in her lifetime was truly wonderful.

Then there was little Aisu; Bulma was lost in the repeated calls of "Auntie" from her.

Future Trunks and Mai also had a child, a boy named Yakubis. He was a little older than Aisu, yet a generation younger.

The two children played together.

Coincidentally, Beerus and Whis also arrived on Earth. Over the years, they had come to Earth from time to time to mooch food and drink. If it weren't for the vast wealth of Bulma's family, they wouldn't have been able to withstand such destruction.

"Yo, Lord Beerus and Mr. Whis, what a coincidence."

Gogito greeted them enthusiastically.

"You brat, you finally showed up again."

"Long time no see, Mr. Gogito."

Behind Whis and Beerus followed Future Trunks and Trunks, who greeted Gogito with pleasant surprise.

"You two have both become stronger!"

Gogito could feel the powerful energy contained within their bodies.

Future Trunks had reached the level of Super Saiyan Blue, while Trunks had reached the level of Super Saiyan God.

"Hehe, we've been training seriously all these years!"

"Why don't you spar with them, Mr. Gogito?"

Whis suggested.

"I had the same thought. Let me see how much you two have improved over these past few years."

Gogito finished speaking and soared into the sky, with both Trunks and Future Trunks following closely behind.

"Please go easy on us, Mr. Gogito." ×2

The three of them assumed their fighting stances and the battle began. Future Trunks and Trunks took the initiative, flanking from left and right to launch a fierce assault.

Gogito easily dodged their punches and kicks. His Ultra Instinct had begun to integrate into his daily life bit by bit, though there was still a long way to go before it was fully mastered.

In Gogito's eyes, the two were riddled with openings. He grabbed both of their heads and slammed them together.

"Ouch!" ×2

As the two clutched their foreheads, Gogito gave them no chance to recover. He rushed forward, kicked Future Trunks away, then spun around to kick Trunks as well. Trunks went flying, colliding with Future Trunks. Just as Future Trunks steadied himself, he saw Trunks hurtling toward him and hurriedly reached out to catch him, but he hadn't expected the force to be so great, sliding back a distance before he could dissipate the momentum.

"Show me your true strength! This level of power isn't enough to impress me!"

Gogito urged them to use their full power.

Hearing this, the two transformed into Super Saiyan.

"We're really being looked down upon, aren't we!"

Seeing them only transform into Super Saiyan, Gogito felt a bit annoyed and charged straight at them. Halfway there, Gogito suddenly vanished, instantly appearing behind them. He unleashed a barrage of Wolf Fang Fist on Future Trunks. Trunks stepped in to help, but Gogito leaned back to dodge his punch, countered with a strike to Trunks' chest, and followed up with another set of Wolf Fang Fist, leaving both Trunks in agony.

Future Trunks gathered a blast, hoping to launch a sneak attack from behind Gogito. How could such a small trick escape Gogito's senses? He tilted his head slightly to dodge it, then raised his hand to return a ki blast at Future Trunks. Future Trunks hurriedly dodged to the side, unaware that Gogito had already seen through him. Another ki blast flew toward Future Trunks, who had no time to dodge and could only cross his arms to tank the hit.

Trunks activated Prince Tactics, firing a continuous stream of ki blasts at Gogito. The smoke from the explosions obscured Gogito's figure. Future Trunks and Trunks simultaneously prepared their ultimate moves, performing a series of incomprehensible gestures in the air.

"Haa!!" ×2

Two energy blasts flew into the smoke, creating even more clouds of debris.

As the smoke cleared, Gogito's figure was revealed. He hadn't taken any damage at all, not even a speck of dust on his clothes.

"Not bad. That last attack actually had some feeling to it."

Gogito brushed some non-existent dust off his clothes.
