"Sun Wukong, how much longer do you intend to fly? You have no choice in the matter; here will suffice!"
Thud!
Sun Wukong, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo had no choice but to follow the two Androids down onto a plateau.
Tsk... Even though it's a plateau, it's surrounded by rocky mountains. Are they planning to use the terrain in case things go south? Piccolo frowned, thinking to himself.
"Huff... huff... Before we start, tell me, how do you know about us?" Sun Wukong looked breathless, as if he were struggling.
"I'll tell you... though I fear you'll regret asking that question."
Seeing Sun Wukong in this state, Tien Shinhan felt a surge of doubt: What is wrong with Goku? It was only a short flight here.
"Sun Wukong, ever since you dismantled our Red Ribbon Army, we have been using miniature insect-like machines to scout you, including during the World Martial Arts Tournament, as well as your duels with Piccolo and Vegeta... all to design an Android capable of defeating you."
"Revenge? You've likely got the wrong person. I only destroyed a few of your branches; it was someone else who destroyed your headquarters," Sun Wukong laughed. He was right; it was Sun Wumian who had blown up the Red Ribbon Army headquarters.
"There is no mistake. It was you who destroyed the Red Ribbon Army's dream of conquering the world, leaving only Dr. Gero alive." He certainly made "conquering the world" sound noble.
"Judging by your tone, you sound just like Dr. Gero himself," Piccolo remarked. In fact, his guess was spot on; Android 20 was indeed Dr. Gero.
"Nonsense. I am Android 20, created by the Doctor. Dr. Gero has long since passed away."
"I see," Sun Wukong understood. "But did you also witness my battle with Frieza?"
"That was unnecessary. At your age, even if you've improved slightly, I doubt your power has grown much."
"You've overlooked one fatal detail: the Super Saiyan!"
"Haa!" A powerful aura erupted as Sun Wukong transformed directly into a Super Saiyan, his combat power reaching 200 million.
At this moment, Krillin, Yamcha, and Gohan sensed the Super Saiyan's aura and began rushing toward the scene.
"Such an incredible aura. Is this the power of Sun Wukong as a Super Saiyan?" Tien Shinhan looked on in shock.
"The two of you, stay out of this. Their target is me."
"Indeed, you possess considerable strength, exceeding our estimates. However, let alone myself, Android 19 alone is more than enough to handle you."
"Oh? Then let me see you try... Haa!" Sun Wukong shouted, striking first.
Whoosh! Bang!
Sun Wukong knocked Android 19 down with a few swift blows.
But Android 19 seemed to have sustained little damage and immediately charged back.
"Atatatata!" In mid-air, Sun Wukong unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, leaving his opponent with no room to counter.
"Wow, such immense power! The gap is too wide; Goku is going to win!" Tien Shinhan concluded prematurely.
"...Is that so?" Piccolo, however, did not feel optimistic.
Although Tien Shinhan had noticed something off about Sun Wukong from the start, he hadn't delved deeper into it.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Just then, Krillin, Gohan, and Yamcha arrived.
"Dad..."
"Gohan, don't worry. Sun Wukong is incredibly strong; he's a Super Saiyan. The opponent is just bluffing and is completely helpless," Tien Shinhan said with a relaxed expression.
"He's truly amazing. Could it be my imagination that they were absorbing energy?" Yamcha looked at the two fighting in the air, where Sun Wukong clearly held the upper hand.
"Huh... hmm..." Gohan watched for a moment and began to mutter.
"Gohan, have you noticed it too? Sun Wukong has already given it his all, yet it's only amounted to this..."
"Piccolo, what are you saying? Goku has an overwhelming advantage!" Tien Shinhan turned his head to say.
"That's not it... Sun Wukong as a Super Saiyan should be much stronger than this." Having trained with Sun Wukong, Piccolo knew his true strength.
"Yamcha said they could absorb other people's energy. Could that be the reason?" Gohan speculated.
"What? Absorb energy?"
"They grab your face, and you can feel your aura being drained away..." Yamcha explained.
BOOM!!
With a loud crash, Android 19 was sent plummeting to the ground.
"Look, the opponent keeps taking hits, yet he remains completely unfazed..."
"Kame--!" Sun Wukong, still in the air, fired a Kamehameha, pursuing the Android 19 who was just climbing back up.
"Perfect, haha!" The Android opened his palms and proceeded to absorb Sun Wukong's Kamehameha entirely.
"Damn it, it really is absorbing energy through his hands..."
"Goku! They can absorb people's aura through their hands! Don't use energy blasts, and be careful not to get grabbed!" Piccolo shouted a warning to Sun Wukong.
"Huff... huff... huff... Absorbing aura? You've got to be kidding me... huff!" Sun Wukong's expression was one of extreme pain.
"Hey, Goku doesn't look right. Has he had that much aura stolen from him?" Krillin asked, looking worried.
"No, I don't think his aura was drained directly..." Piccolo shook his head.
At this moment, the tide of battle turned; Sun Wukong retreated step by step, gasping for air while clutching his chest.
"...! As expected, Dad's heart disease is acting up!"
"What? The heart disease predicted by that boy from the future?"
"Didn't he bring the special medicine? Sun Wukong just had his energy drained!" Krillin opened the bag containing the Senzu Bean and tossed one over. "Sun Wukong, this is a Senzu Bean, eat it quickly!"
"Great, Krillin, thanks!" Sun Wukong caught the Senzu Bean and crunched it down.
However, the Senzu Bean had no effect at all. Although Sun Wukong was currently a Super Saiyan, his combat power had plummeted to a mere 70 million, and as the gap widened, he was pinned to the ground and pummeled by Android 19.
"The problem is with his heart," Gohan said anxiously.
"Why? Didn't he recover after taking the medicine?" Krillin asked, confused.
"No, Dad never got sick, so he never took the medicine..."
On the other side, Sun Wukong could no longer maintain his Super Saiyan state; after being knocked down, he reverted to his base form.
"Oh no, Sun Wukong's energy!" Seeing that his energy was about to be drained completely, the others all rushed forward.
"Not one step further. Those who don't value their lives can try," Dr. Gero said, blocking their path.
"Let's try it then." Piccolo wore a confident smile; it seemed he had been hiding something.
However, he didn't even last a second before being knocked down by a beam of light fired from Dr. Gero's eyes.
"Urgh... Ah..." Sun Wukong's energy was on the verge of being completely absorbed.
Clad in a blue long-sleeved bodysuit and white battle armor, Vegeta made a stylish entrance!
Vegeta kicked Android 19 away with a single blow, leaving a deep footprint imprinted on the android's face.
"Vegeta!?" Everyone looked over.
"Defeating Kakarot is my job; there is no room for you lot to interfere!" Vegeta stated coldly.
