Following Goku's statement, 4 more figures came to join him at the scene. He was the fastest one and was also the one closer to Yamcha place. They all took a look at the android and were surprised to see one of them looking exactly like Dr.Gero.
"Even by being this close we still can't even feel their power. Truly a lifeless creation." Tenshinhan said looking at them with a serious expression. Being unable to read your opponent's energy is trouble.
"Hmph. Lifeless, I gave life to power. Dr. Gero's creations were the epitome of humanity, Tenshinhan." Dr.Gero was saying it like he was not the one who created them. Maybe the creator is no more and now is only the ego and the revenge
"Don't be so surprised, I know about every one of you. Being able to observe all of these fights gave me a good sample-" He was ready to start to glorify his work when Piccolo interrupted.
"Enough. Son lead the way to a deserted area, we can't fight with so many people here."
Let's go" Goku said already floating.
"Hmph" Dr.Gero and 19 followed him, and the other went soon after. From afar Bulma was able to take a glimpse of some dots flying away, she conclude that it was the guys.
"I can't see well but it seems that they were going to another place." She was trying to take a reading on the Android but was unable to. They didn't leak any energy that this scouter could read.
"Should we go take a look?" Tights asked already jumping inside their plane and putting Kail in the side.
"We did promise to go back after taking a look. But the truth is that we didn't look at them yet. Right Trunk?" She too boarded the plane smiling while Trunks was throwing a disapproved look at her. Kail was doing the same with her mother.
Back to a deserted area, it was surrounded by rocks and mountains, it was remote o sufficient to go all out and care little about the destruction.
"I'm going first since I'm already here haha" Goku was all smiles he never refuse a good fight. "Ah and don't join the fight yet. If I'm lucky I can take both if then before you guys want to join too."
The others just get on the side while Goku walks directly to them rotating his shoulder. reading himself to this.
"It will be a quick death Son Goku. We already have enough data to deal with all of you with this plan. The calculation about the limit of your power was already made, there is no other outcome besides your death."
"Collecting data huh? Smart. But you saying this after looking at his fight in Namek is overconfidence." Picollo said while looking at them. He knows how strong Goku is right now, it will hard pressed to win against him.
"There was no need to observe that fight. At that point everything was ready. At that point we already had received the right material to complete my creation" Dr. Gero said with enough confidence in his monotonous voice.
"I see. Then the surprise will be for later. Let's fight on this form for a bit" Goku smiled and didn't transform. This time the virus didn't attack his heart early in the fight, so he was brimming with energy.
19 stepped forward without saying anything. He was built to deal with this man, thus that's what he will do. Both prepared themselves while the others only watched.
And finally, they started.
Both pushed the ground and encountered on the middle of the way bumping their elbow together with great force. 19 spin his arms and aimed his open hand at Goku's face. The latter use the force on his arm and the fact they were so close to change 19 hand direction and missing him.
Goku didn't stop there and aimed with his left an open palm at 19 sides who slide a few feets behind. Goku followed with a series of blows and 19 defend himself. Until he finds an opening and counters Goku with a hit on his face. Goku too uses the opportunity to kick him away.
This exchange was only for a few seconds. No one took their eyes off each other.
Smiling again Goku went for round 2, again quickly exchanging blows with 19, increasing their power and creating a series of create at the ground.
"Incredible, Goku became even stronger," Krilin said he was amazed by the level of the traded blows.
"Hmph. Still, this android is stronger, than the current Son." Piccolo was saying while looking at the fight. He was sure that the android was weaker than most of them, yet it surprises him that they were able to surpass the base form of Goku.
"How much stronger? It is hard to tell without sensing the rising in their Ki" Yamcha asked he was trying to follow the movement the best he could.
"Seeing this...I would say he is at least 3x strong than Father right now" Gohan said. He was calm since he knew about the transformation.
"three times... That's a whole level above us. So Trunks wasn't joking when he said they would massacre us..." Tenshinhan was sweating a bit from this.
"Yes, but why he doesn't use all his power is weird. He always aimed with his open hand at Son, it became a predicate move" When Piccolo said that Goku hit a strong one at 19 gut, although he could take it he was starting to get upset that his plan was not working.
The fact was that no matter how strong they were made, some of them just don't have experience in true fight. Being unable to calculate how much strength they should use.
They can only go from 100 to 10, and thus, they can't exactly match their opponent's strength correctly.
Right now 19 may be stronger than Goku, but his clumsy fight style makes him weaker and easy to predict.
"Enough 19! You can crush him now with all your power. Enough of playing" Dr.Gero gave the order. The plan to take Goku's energy slowly and kill him while looking at his eyes was tossed out.
When 19 receive the order his posture changed. He quickly close the gap and without seeing anything Goku's reaction was slow and he was hit in the gut
*Guhhh!!!*
Followed by more 2 at his face and a kick that sent him to the side.
Goku recover faster and went in defense, he was trying his best but 19 was faster now and aiming solely to kill him the fastest possible. Goku understood that playtime was over. Dodge a high kick he put some space between them.
"Playtime is over huh… Then here I go" He closed his fist and raise his Ki. Quickly his powers shot up and his hair became blond. He was in the Super Saiyan state.
After the dust settled Dr.Gero was confused and fearful of it. This wasn't included in the calculation, a new form that he didn't expect. But he still underestimates it.
"It was out of calculation but it doesn't fall too far from it. We can still win." He said to 19.
"It's over. What a boring" Piccolo said, he wanted to fight these androids too, but now it seems that he will not have the opportunity.
Goku was smiling easily and waiting there. When 19 attacked again he trowed a series of blows that Goku easily repelled without even moving his place. Before 19 could make another move, a fist was moving directly at his stomach, which made him gasp
*Uhgaaa* The blow was so strong that some cracks appear around the place with rising dust.
19 stepped away clutching his hand at his gut.
"You can give up now. If you want to take his place is now Dr Gero" Goku said to his opponent.
The Dr was surprised at how was 19 defeated so easily. Should ge step in? Team up with him and-
That was when 19 in a flash took hold of Goku's arms and start to suck his energy. He suck it while having a big smile on his face from his success, but out of nowhere, his vision went dark.
Goku had punched his face so fast that he didn't even feel it.
"I may not be so smart and a bit slow in my head, but even I can notice that you want my energy or to put something weird in me with these predicted moves of yours," Goku said in a light tone. 19 hands were already out of his arms and dangling at the side of the Android.
'Dammit! This was a failure, a complete failure! So that's why they were so confident before.' Dr.Gero couldn't stop scolding himself for failing so hard after so much calculation.
'I'll have to resort to plan B, no, going directly to C if I'm able to convince her…' He was ready to throw this original plan out the window and follow with his contingent. He refuses to lose now of all times. No, he still has a trump card it is not over yet.
Goku was still close to 19 when Dr Gero screams "19 Explode yourself right now!!".
With this, a light started to form at 19 chests and everyone was surprised. And then fear wash over their face. The others were far so it was easy for them to run but Goku...
The explosion was fast and big enough to cover a small city, and powerful enough to leave an enormous crater at the center of it.
"Eh? What is that ridiculous enormous explosion?!!" Bulma screams, she was going to search for the place where they landed but she didn't even need to.
"Ow they really going all out" Tight was looking at it amazed too, the pressure of the air was even reaching them.
Trunks and Kail were playing with each other without knowing what was happening.
"Father! Father!" Gohan screams trying to use his force to reach his father.
"Wait Gohan! Wait!" Piccolo was doing his best to stop Gohan, though giving the boy so much attention he not only didn't notice Dr.Gero escaping but the enormous Ki rising at the center of the explosion.
"Y-you guys...!!" Goku was furious. To go out like that makes him furious.
"L-look Gohan, Goku is fine even after that explosion!". Krillin was trying to calm down Gohan. Seeing this all of them jumped in the crate to see a serious Goku but with a power beyond what they expected.
He had to resort to transforming in Suprr Saiyan 2 to tank the explosion. Electricity was spamming around his body.
But soon enough he calms himself and went back to normal.
"Where Dr Gero?" He asked.
"He escapes in the middle of the explosion. He may not have gone too far though" Piccolo said
"He probably went back home right?" Krillin asked scratching his face.
"Home I doubt, but maybe his lab? After planning for so long I doubt he would just give up and flee" Tenshinhan was the one to appoint it.
"Then let-" When Goku was proposing to follow the Dr. when an airplane stops at their side.
"Ah, you guys were ok. The explosion was big enough to see from afar" Bumma took her head out of the plane and said to them.
"Bulma-san is dangerous here. For all of you." Gohan said worried that they get hurt here.
"Ara thank you Gohan-chan. But why are you guys so troubled? You already destroyed the android right?" She said looking around.
"Probably one escaped. That always happens in sci-fi fiction" Thighs added.
"Yes Dr. Gero probably went back to his lab" Yamcha informed them.
"Hm well if is his lab then we know where it is…I mean probably we know, at least we have an idea." Everyone looked at her and a big smile splattered on their face. But when they were going to ask where it was they all felt a powerful energy rising.
"Vegeta?!" Goku asked looking in a certain direction. What he was fighting that he need to power up?
"That direction...? Is where Dr. Gero's lab is supposed to be..", Tights is the one who searched for the information and knew about it. They all looked in that direction feeling Vegeta's energy rising even more.
Soon enough they went to that place as fast as they could.
