Four streaks of light, each a different color, pierced the dim sky.
The airflow was forcibly torn apart, producing a sharp whistling sound.
Son Goku gritted his teeth.
The parched body is desperately protesting against the brain.
The physical strength that had just been drained by the Ki of Utter Death had not yet fully recovered.
But he couldn't care less about any of that.
Golden flames barely burned on his body, forcibly increasing his speed by another notch.
Ahead, two figures darted through the dense rubble of the explosion.
Android 17 and Android 18.
These two guys have no idea what fatigue is.
Unlimited stamina becomes the most despair-inducing advantage at this moment.
They weaved back and forth between collapsed buildings and massive rocks, each change of direction swift and decisive, their movements so slippery they were impossible to catch.
"Don't even think about running away!"
Piccolo shouted from behind.
He waved his hands continuously.
Dozens of yellow tracking energy blasts roared out, leaving long trails as they hurtled forward.
Android 17 didn't even look back.
He braced himself with his backhand.
A translucent, dark blue protective shield instantly unfolded behind him.
Bang bang bang!
The energy blasts struck the protective shield and exploded one after another.
However, Piccolo and Son Goku were evenly matched at this point, and neither had recovered their power.
His attack not only failed to cause any damage, but the deflected projectiles even drew strange zigzags in the air, heading straight for Cacao behind him.
Cacao's mechanical eyes flashed red, and his thrusters blasted out, narrowly avoiding a collision.
A stray bullet grazed his armor and shattered a distant hilltop.
"Damn it, the terrain is really disadvantageous for us!" Piccolo cursed under his breath.
Ahead lies an extremely complex fault line in the Earth's crust.
The enormous underground rift valley is bottomless and has a complex internal structure.
Android 17 and Android 18 were clearly aware of this as well.
The two accelerated sharply, heading straight for the dark ravine.
They were less than 100 meters from the edge of the rift valley.
Son Goku's heart sank.
We can't catch up.
High in the sky.
A figure emitting a faint golden light crashed down!
boom--!
A violent shockwave erupted instantly.
Tons of surrounding rock layers were violently overturned, sending debris flying everywhere.
The massive blast of air formed a solid wall, forcibly stopping the high-speed flying of Android 17 and Android 18.
The two were forced to brake suddenly in mid-air, landing on their feet and leaving two long skid marks on the ground.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
The newcomer stood at the edge of the rift valley.
Arms crossed over the chest, chin slightly raised.
His eyes were coldly fixed on the prey ahead.
It was Vegeta.
When Son Goku, who was chasing behind, saw this scene, his anxious face immediately lit up with joy.
" Vegeta!"
Son Goku shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Stop them!"
Upon hearing Son Goku's call, Vegeta slowly turned his head.
At that moment, with his back to Android 17 and Android 18 and facing Son Goku.
Vegeta's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, a stiff, eerie grin appeared on his face.
But only for a fleeting moment.
So fast it's almost impossible to catch.
Vegeta's expression quickly returned to its arrogant and aloof state.
Son Goku and Piccolo are still rushing over at full speed.
The distance was too far, and the dust and smoke made it difficult to see.
They were completely unaware of Vegeta's fleeting unusual behavior.
Vegeta turned around and faced Android 17 and Android 18 again.
He snorted coldly.
"Don't order me around, Kakarot!"
"I just don't like these pieces of junk!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Vegeta suddenly erupted with golden flames.
He exerted force with both legs, and the ground beneath his feet instantly crumbled into dust.
He transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, launching a fierce attack on Android 17 and Android 18.
The heavy energy cannon on Cacao's shoulder, which was suspended in mid-air, also fired in response.
A dense barrage of red lasers formed a network of fire, directly covering Android 18's advance route.
Android 18 had no choice but to abandon the attack and do several backflips to dodge the artillery fire.
The ground was riddled with rows of charred craters from the laser beams.
By the time this happened, Son Goku and Piccolo had already arrived on horseback.
A five-on-two situation has officially been established.
The crowd surged forward.
The explosion engulfed the two people.
Android 16 and Cacao forcibly locked Android 17 and Android 18's hands behind their backs!
After this fierce encirclement and suppression, the rampaging Android 17 and Android 18 were finally brought under complete control.
The battlefield fell silent.
All that remained were the heavy breathing of the group and the faint rumbling of the machinery operating within Android 16 and Cacao's bodies.
Black smoke was still rising from the surrounding ruins.
Son Goku let out a long sigh of relief.
He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
My tense nerves finally relaxed.
He walked up to Vegeta without warning.
He had his signature smile on his face.
"Thanks to you, Vegeta."
Son Goku spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Otherwise, if those two troublesome fellows really manage to get into the rift valley, things will get complicated."
Vegeta stood still.
I didn't watch Son Goku.
He lowered his head.
Stray hairs falling across his forehead obscured his eyes, making it impossible to discern his expression.
The surrounding air seemed to drop in temperature for a moment.
Vegeta's lips began to curl upwards unnaturally.
"Yes..."
"Thanks to me..."
Dr. Gero, seeing Android 17 and Android 18 pinned to the ground, finally relaxed.
"Here you go!"
"Send them to hibernation pods! Initiate forced hibernation immediately!"
Dr. Gero looked around.
He chased away Son Goku and the others, then alone, he took Android 16 and Cacao and escorted Android 17 18 away...
Son Goku and Vegeta stayed with Piccolo.
Vegeta, with his back to the two, smiled again...
High in the sky.
A deafening sonic boom exploded, forcefully drowning out all other sounds on the ground.
The battle has reached its climax!
Golden Frieza and the aggregate of resentment Hatchiyack, transformed into two streaks of light, one gold and one red.
"A monster cobbled together from a pile of trash..."
Frieza gritted his teeth, his voice icy and chilling.
"How dare you be so arrogant in front of me, the Great King!"
Golden lightning surged around him.
He suddenly spread his arms wide.
They are preparing to unleash an even more powerful finishing move.
He was going to use absolute power to completely obliterate this disgusting thing!
Break this deadlock completely!
Just then...
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three streaks of light sped from the ruins below.
It came to a steady stop behind Frieza.
Vegeta, Son Goku, Piccolo.
The three people hovered in mid-air.
Son Goku spoke first.
His tone was filled with an extremely incongruous level of respect.
" King Frieza!"
Vegeta and Piccolo echoed each other in unison.
"We're here to help you!"
The three voices were remarkably in unison.
It looked particularly eerie high in the sky where the wind was howling.
Frieza is on the verge of exploding in rage.
All attention was focused on that aggregate of resentment.
They had no interest in investigating the underlying anomalies.
"Get out of here!"
Without turning his head, he waved his hand forcefully with extreme impatience.
"Don't get in my way!"
"This is not a battle that you scum have the right to interfere in!"
Between his hands, a dark red ball of destructive energy began to expand wildly.
The three people behind him did not retreat, but remained silently suspended behind Frieza.
A stiff, eerie smile crept onto his face.
A dark red light simultaneously flickered deep within the eyes of all three...
