Chapter 11: Delay Chp 9
#VEGITO POV#
I take a deep breath as I wait for Gohan and Trunks to process what I just told them
"My father mentioned that he trained with Kami on his Lookout but he never mentioned this TIme Chamber," Gohan murmurs as he looks at me
"According to Mr. Popo, a person can only go in twice in their lifetime due to the way that the dimension works," I say
"Mr. Popo wants Gohan to go in with me as he doesn't trust me going in alone," I say without a care in the world
I would be pissed if the situation wasn't so dire and the literal fact that there is no reason for Mr. Popo to trust me
I am grateful that he has extended the olive branch of allowing me to go inside with Gohan
One of the things that I learned in my past life is not to bite the hand that feeds you
"Genuinely, I don't think we have to stay in there for even a year, if we push ourselves we might only need a few months," I say while truly thinking about it
"Let me make some preparations, we will go in tomorrow, I will follow you over to the Lookout and go inside this Chamber," Gohan declares and I resist the urge to let out a huge sigh of relief
"We'll meet up tomorrow then, now let's train for today...
#TIMESKIP THE NEXT DAY#
"Where are they?" I am a bit worried about where Gohan and Trunks are
Closing my eyes, I begin to search for their power level and I find them next to another one that I have come to familiarize myself with
Bulma's Ki
I open my eyes and decide to just do some Ki exercises until they arrive
#GOHAN POV#
"YOU WANT TO WHAT?" I scream out after I process what Bulma just told me
"I want to make myself into an Android or something close to one. If I have some more time, I will be able to help the 3 of you against the Androids and possibly Vegito if it comes down to it," I hear Bulma say
"But..."
"BUT NOTHING GOHAN, I HAVE WATCHED MY HOME BURN FOR LONG ENOUGH, I HAD TO HEAR ABOUT MY FRIENDS DYING ONE BY ONE AS THEY ALL ATTEMPTED TO EITHER STOP THEM OR STALL FOR TIME AND DIE IN VAIN. IF TURNING MYSELF INTO AN ANDROID MEANS THAT I CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING THEN I WILL," Bulma screams at me with tears in her eyes
That stops me from saying anything more as I clench my fists
I...don't know what to think
Bulma turning herself into something similar to those monsters may be the greatest advantage we will get in a long time
I take a deep breath before letting out softly
"Alright, I will ask Vegito if you can go in and...turn yourself into an Android," I say defeated to which Bulma looks at me for a bit
"Look Gohan, most of the defenders of Earth are gone, in reality, its just you and Trunks, I don't trust Vegito but he seems to be doing his best to help us by teaching you and Trunks what your fathers knew about fighting. That makes a total of 3 to protect the Earth, if we can increase that number by a single number, than that means that the Earth will be better protected," She says logically while I notice the sadness in her eyes which makes me blink as I think about it
"Bulma...are you sure this procedure will work?" I ask her as a pit seems to form in my stomach at the thought of the woman I think of as an aunt wanting to kill herself
"From what I have researched, yes, it will work," She says with determination in her eyes
"I...I won't stop you," I say after a while as I try to control myself
"I am sorry, but...I have to do this," She says looking down
I don't say anything but the pit in my stomach seems to get a bit bigger...
#TIMESKIP A FEW HOURS LATER#
"This should be enough right?" I ask Mr. Popo as I come into a room where he is preparing different foods with a long shelf life
Stuff like rice or Pemmican
Hmm...
"Thank you Mr. Popo," I tell him honestly
I truly can't explain just how grateful I am
"There is no need to thank me, if you all can finally put an end to the Androids, I shall do my best to aid you in whatever I can," He says and I smile at him
"I know that the Earth will take a long time to recover and all, but I think that a new Guardian will go a long way to ensuring that the Earth continues to recover," I say out loud as that catches his attention
"You mean...you want to become the Guardian Of Earth?" He asks me astonished while I chuckle and shake my head
"No, not me, but maybe once the Earth recovers a bit, I am thinking of going to New Namek and asking the Namekians there if one of them would be willing to become the new Guardian," I tell him of my plan for it
Quite frankly, I am actually thinking of a bit more than just one Namekian
I am going to ask if a group would be willing to...migrate to Earth
As I don't really want whoever becomes a new Guardian to be alone and undefended
"That...that would be marvelous," Mr. Popo says with a small smile at that
"But first, we need to get rid of those pieces scraps of metal," I tell him as he nods and goes right back to preparing the food with much more enthusiasm than before
"Vegito, can you please go hunt some more, we could use some more meat?" Mr. Popo asks and I nod as I go outside to go hunt another dinasour
As I reach the edge of the Lookout and prepare to jump down, I blink as I sense Gohan's energy with someone else getting closer to my location
"Is that...?" I ask as I feel her energy
Why is coming here?
Did something happen?
I wait on the edge as Gohan comes flying in and I spot Bulma
I blink as even though I have Goku and Vegeta's memories of her, this the first time, I am seeing her
"Is that him? Wow you weren't kidding he does look like them," She says while Gohan lowers her down
"Vegito right, you know what doesn't matter. What does matter is that I am going inside the Time Chamber first..."
"BULMA, I thought that I would be the one to tell him," Gohan sort of yells out at her
"Oh right," Bulma says rather sheepish looking at Gohan before going behind him and peeking over to me
"What's all this about?" I ask rather curious about why she is here
Gohan sighs while rubbing his temples
"Bulma wants to make herself into an Android and she believes that due to the blueprints that you gave her she might be able to do so, given enough time," He says while my mouth drops in shock
"What..."
