The Aftermath of 21 disaster

"And now what should I do with you?" Goten said as he looked at the new 21.

21 has better ki control, higher intelligence and seems to be not evil unlike her counterpart but he doesn't know if letting her live would be a great idea.

This is the reason why he still left half of his total energy and didn't use it all on the Spirit Bomb.

Then 18 used her body to block Goten from trying to attack 21.

She is not very fond of 21 as she was the one who harmed her husband and daughter but she thought that 21 deserved a second chance just like her.

Especially since she would not have been alive if Krillin didn't save her.

"18, what are you doing?" Piccolo asked her.

Then he realized what she was trying to do.

She was trying to save 21 just like how Krillin saved her.

Piccolo was smart and he was someone who knew that not everyone was redeemable.

But after seeing Vegeta, 18 and even Majin Buu turn good and become allies he decided that 21 turning over to a new leaf might work.

"I don't think we need to destroy her right now. I am not saying she should just be forgiven but I think that we should first see what she do first." Piccolo said.

"..." Goten stopped himself from attacking 21 after finding out that Piccolo and 18 wanted to spare her.

"Do what you want?" Goten said as he flew away leaving the three.

----------------------------

When he arrived back at the Capsule Corporation he saw that Bulma, Bra and Trunks were not there.

"Excuse me where are Trunks and Bulma?" Goten asked the women from reception.

"Well, they went to Gather the dragon balls to wish everything back to normal and find out what was happening. Do you want me to contact them, Goten-sama?" She asked.

"No. It's fine." He said as he walked back into the kitchen which was partially destroyed by the clones.

However, The fridge was still operating.

"Oh, there it is," Goten said as he grabbed the cold coffee.

"Now it's too cold." He said.

Despite getting stronger Goten's childish taste that makes him like sweets and dislikes hot things still hasn't changed.

He was smiling when he thought about the actions of 18 and Piccolo.

Because in the past he knew that those two would be the first to be suggesting about killing 21.

-------------------------

A few hours later.

In the west city hospital that Bulma owned.

"I am very sorry." 21 said as she apologised to Krillin and Marron who were lying on hospital beds.

Their injuries are not lethal but a few of these bones were broken when they fought 21.

"It's fine," Krillin said.

"It's my fault that I was beat up. It just shows that I am not strong enough." Marron replied.

"Sometimes I wonder where that battle-hungry personality of yours comes from." 18 said while looking at Marron.

Then a figure popped into her mind. It was Bra who was laughing at her.

18 realized that the girl that she trained was the reason why her delicate little daughter became a muscled brute.

Hanging around with Bra caused her to develop an affection for martial arts.

Even more so than the person who was responsible for her to develop that said affection.

"Hey, Krillin. I heard you got hurt. Are you alright now?" Yamcha and Tien said as they came into the room where Krillin, Marron, 18 and 21 were at.

"Oh, what a beauty," Yamcha said as he looked at 21.

21 has reverted to her human-looking form instead of Majin's form so she could be considered a beauty.

So Yamcha who is known as a Playboy tried to hit on her.

"You are now inside a hospital." 18 said as she hit Yamcha with a kick to the groin area.

"Ouch," Yamcha said as he fell to the ground while holding his crouch area.

"This is why Bulma left you." 18 said as she looked at Yamcha.

None of the people in the room other than Yamcha knows that Bulma left Yamcha because she thought that he was cheating at that time.

He was not involved with any other women at that point in time yet, he only became a playboy after Bulma got together with Vegeta.

"I am sorry. But it appeared that I had a son." 21 replied.

Which caused everyone in the room other than 18 to become shocked.

"Really? You don't look that old." Tien said he was genuinely surprised that she had a kid just because she looked so young.

"Really? Then your husband must be a really lucky man." Yamcha said as he got up.

"No. He is dead." She replied.

"So, When can I get your number?" Yamcha said but he stopped talking when he saw that 18 was extending her palm at him.

"I don't care what you want to do but you should mind the patients first and get out before you do that said thing." She warned him.

She was warning him not to make a move on 21 while they were still inside the hospital room where Krillin and Marron were with their injuries.

-------------------------

A few minutes later Yamcha went home as he was afraid 18 would beat him up if he continued to push his luck.

"Android 16 is your son?" Tien said as he looked at 21.

"Well, I am an android that was created based on his birth mother so basically you could say that." 21 replied.

"But he was absorbed by Cell?" Tien continued to ask her.

"Yes. But now I don't know where Cell went to." 21 replied.

"Still Cell, huh?" Krillin said as he recalled the terrifying monster called Cell.

"Here," Tien said as he put something inside 21's hand.

It was a small bottle that had a seal on it.

"This is the bottle that Cell was sealed in," Tien said to 21.

"You defeated Cell?" Krillin said in shock.

I knew he was weakened by 21 but still. 18 thought as she looked at Tien in shock.

"You finally become a Super Human just like Vegeta said," Krillin noted.

"Puff." 21 almost laughed when Krillin said Tien finally becomes a Super Human just like how the Saiyans become Super Saiyan.

"Well, I was able to seal him only because Chaiotzu and Launch helped me," Tien said.

While they were talking and laughing 21 put the bottle in her mouth.

Consuming it in one go.

For her, it was punishing herself while protecting 16 from future threats.

She knew that she did not have the right to meet her son again and he would have wanted to stay dead if he could.

16 have already refused to come back to life when Bulma tried to reconstruct him after Goku's second death.

She was planning to destroy him after she saved him from the clutches of the Red Ribbon army.

Her selfish desire of wanting to spend time together with him just for a moment was why everything turned out the way it did.

Now she knew that she didn't have the right to meet him and she had to atone for her actions.
