Returning to the Future Time-Space

Seeing Android 17 taken out by Vegeta with a single kick, Android 18 was just about to rush forward when Android 16 grabbed her.

"The gap between you is far too great. Even if you went up, it would be useless."

"Then are we supposed to just surrender and let them kill us?"

Android 18 retorted to Android 16.

But Android 16 said, "Given Son Goku's personality, he won't kill us."

"How could that be possible?"

Android 18 still didn't believe it. They had been created for the purpose of killing Son Goku—how could Son Goku possibly spare them?

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

Son Goku could even spare Frieza. If Frieza had not been courting death himself, Son Goku would never have killed him. The same went for these androids. So long as they did nothing heinous, Son Goku would not concern himself with them.

After that, Son Goku and the others left, leaving only Bulma and Tights behind. Bulma asked the three androids, "You probably have nowhere to go now. Do you want to come to my house? I can arrange jobs for you."

"Um..."

Android 18 hesitated somewhat, while Android 16 remained silent.

"I'm the richest person in the world. Finding jobs for you would be effortless."

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

Bulma took the three of them back onto the plane. Gogeta was having a great time playing with his daughter. Seeing Bulma and Tights bring the androids back, he was somewhat surprised, but he said nothing.

Bulma started the plane. Not long after they took off, Gogeta suddenly remembered that Cell was still in the laboratory basement. He opened the plane door and fired a Ki Blast, wiping out the entire lab along with the surrounding area. If Cell could still survive that, then his life was not meant to end, and Gogeta would spare him.

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

After sending the two of them away, Gogeta returned home. Bulma and Tights were chatting with Android 17 and Android 18, while Android 16 quietly stayed to one side. Little Ais seemed to really like Android 16, climbing all over him, touching here and looking there. When she saw Gogeta return, she happily ran over.

"Daddy, hug."

Gogeta scooped up his daughter, kissed her cheek, and asked, "Did you miss Daddy?"

"Yes."

Little Ais lay against Gogeta's chest and kissed him too.

"How much did you miss me?"

"A whole, whole lot."

As she spoke, little Ais even stretched out her hands to demonstrate. She was simply adorable beyond words.

Gogeta sat beside Tights with his daughter in his arms, listening to them chat while teasing his daughter now and then.

Androids 18, 17, and 16 thus stayed at Bulma's home.

And so, the Android Saga came to an end.

As Ais gradually grew older, Tights's ambitions of becoming the queen of science fiction stirred once more. She had not written a novel in many years, so she asked Gogeta to take her to the timeline Gogeta had visited last time—the timeline with two Trunkses.

Gogeta agreed without a second thought. Of course he would spoil his own wife. Thus, Gogeta brought Tights and Ais to the future timeline.

Bulma of this timeline had grown very old. Seeing her older sister again made her incredibly happy. To be able to see her family again in her lifetime was truly wonderful.

And then there was little Ais. Bulma became completely enchanted by Ais calling her "Auntie" again and again.

Older Trunks and Mai had also had a child, a boy named Yakebisi. He was a little older than Ais, but one generation below her.

The two children began playing together.

As it happened, Beerus and Whis also came to Earth. Over the years, the two of them would occasionally come to Earth to freeload food and drinks. If Bulma's family had not been so wealthy, they could never have endured such devastation.

"Oh, Lord Beerus, Mr. Whis. What a coincidence."

Gogeta greeted them warmly.

"You brat, you've finally shown yourself again."

"It has been a long time, Mr. Gogeta."

Behind Whis and Beerus stood Older Trunks and Trunks. The two of them greeted Gogeta in delight.

"You've both gotten stronger!"

Gogeta could sense the tremendous power contained within their bodies.

Older Trunks had already 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!"

"How about Mr. Gogeta spars with the two of them?"

Whis suggested.

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

After saying that, Gogeta flew into the sky, with both Trunks following close behind.

"Please guide us, Mr. Gogeta." ×2

The three assumed fighting stances and began. Older Trunks and Trunks took the lead, attacking from the left and right in a fierce pincer assault.

Gogeta effortlessly dodged their fists and kicks. His Ultra Instinct had gradually seeped into his everyday life, though he was still far from fully integrating it.

In Gogeta's eyes, the two of them were full of openings. He grabbed both of them by the head and slammed them together.

"That hurts!" ×2

The two clutched their foreheads, but Gogeta gave them no chance to recover. He rushed forward and kicked Older Trunks away, then spun around and sent Trunks flying with another kick. Trunks crashed toward Older Trunks. Just as Older Trunks steadied himself, he saw Trunks flying at him and hurriedly caught him. But the force was far greater than expected, and he slid back quite a distance before bleeding off the impact.

"Show me what you're really capable of. This little strength isn't nearly enough!"

Gogeta told them to use all their strength.

Hearing that, the two transformed into Super Saiyans.

"So we're being looked down on, huh?!"

Seeing that they had only transformed into Super Saiyans, Gogeta was somewhat displeased and charged straight at them. Halfway there, he suddenly vanished in a flash and appeared behind them in an instant. He unleashed a barrage of Wolf Fang Fists on Older Trunks. Trunks stepped in to help, but Gogeta leaned back to evade his punch, then countered with a backhanded blow to Trunks's chest. This was followed by another barrage of Wolf Fang Fists that left both Trunks in agony.

Older Trunks gathered an energy blast, intending to launch a sneak attack from behind Gogeta. But how could such a petty trick escape Gogeta's senses? With a slight turn of his head, he dodged it, then raised a hand and returned fire with an energy blast. Older Trunks hurriedly dodged to the side, unaware that Gogeta had already seen through him. Another energy blast flew toward Older Trunks. With no time to evade, he could only cross his arms and take the attack head-on.

Trunks activated Prince's Tactic, firing a barrage of energy blasts at Gogeta. The smoke from the explosions obscured Gogeta's body. Older Trunks and Trunks used their ultimate moves at the same time, making several incomprehensible hand gestures in midair.

"Ha!!" ×2

Two energy blasts flew into the smoke, and the explosion produced even more smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Gogeta's figure was revealed. He had not been hurt at all; not even a speck of dust had touched his clothes.

"Not bad. That last attack had a bit of feeling to it."

Gogeta brushed at the nonexistent dust on his clothes.
