Chapter 9: Equipment Chp 7
#VEGITO POV#
"You have it," I say with some joy as I look at the Hoi-Poi capsule in Gohan's hand
"Yes, we had to go into Capsule Corp to retrieve it. Thankfully, it was still there, Bulma said that there isn't a lot of fuel for traveling outside of Earth but we have at least a month's worth of fuel for training every day with the gravity running at its limits, As well as needing some maintenance, but she gave it the ok to work with the artificial gravity," He says and my joy dims a bit at that as I understand that we will have to use it at the same time to maximize whatever we can squeeze out of it
"Did she say if some more fuel could be found or made?" I ask her with hope in my voice
"She said that we could go to some Capsule Corp factories that may have the stuff we need to make more, but without knowing what might be in the right condition to use, it will take a while to collect all of it," He answers and I frown at that as my decision to invite them to the lab is made clear
"I know that this might be out of the blue but a lot of the stuff in Gero's lab might be useful, I can't really do much with the stuff there but I could look for some lab equipment and bring it over to you guys. Also, you guys can come if you want," I tell them and I resist the urge to wince as Gohan and Trunks's eyes narrow in suspicion
I raise my hands
"I know that it will take a while for you guys to trust, if you want I can collect the equipment and bring it over so Bulma can see if it will be useful or not," I tell them
"That would be fine, it's just..." I cut Gohan off
"I understand," I say while nodding at him
"Now, what are we doing next?" Trunks asks
"We are going to be sparing, if we want to fight the androids our teamwork will help give us an edge against them," I tell them
"Why sparing?" Trunks asks
"So we can get used to the moves we might use against the Androids," Gohan answers for me
"Yup, also one thing to note is that while Gohan and I will fight the Androids, you Trunks will be giving us support..." I begin to tell my idea for fighting against the Androids and to be honest, it is our best plan yet
Gohan will try to take on 17 while I will try to take on Android 18
Then we will try to separate the 2 or at least separate them enough that Trunks can then help either Gohan or me against the android that we are fighting and finish them off
"Hey, Gohan has Bulma figured out something to use against the androids?" I ask him as anything could be useful in our current situation
"Actually, yeah she has at least found a couple of places we can attack the androids but so far she has been looking into something that can shut them off so that we can destroy them," He mentions and at that moment I remember that I have Cell in a type of stasis and that I am still waiting for a good opportunity to bring him up but I need them to trust me more
I almost forgot about him
"Well, let's get started," I say as I jump back a bit while Gohan goes back to his base form
I take the chance to notice Gohan's progress in maintaining his Super Saiyan form
Soon
The three of us begin to fight against one another and I can already see a big problem
I am holding back, the same thing with Gohan but he is also making use of his greater amount of fighting experience to keep me on my toes
Trunks is not on our level in either power or skill
But we are working on that...
#TIMESKIP FORWARD TO NIGHTTIME#
Panting, I sit on the ground taking big gulps of air as I smile
Looking at my exposed upper body and arms, I can already see the numerous bruises that Gohan and Trunks gave me during our sparing that lasted a few hours since its already night
Smiling, I close my eyes as I do my best to engrave the memory of the spar in myself
Taking a deep breath, I grab control of my Ki and make it course throughout my body
Something that Roshi taught Goku
It helps soothe the body and it helps with getting a grasp on the gentler applications of Ki
Taking another breath I begin to relax as my Ki begins to massage my battered body gently
Helping me recover a little bit
It's not actual healing but it does help me recover from very minor stuff slightly faster
Cuts will disappear after a whole day of doing this
"We'll see you soon Vegito," Gohan calls out making me come out of my relaxed state
"I'll see you...later I guess," I say letting out a sigh a few seconds after they have already left
They are still uncomfortable around me
Quite frankly, I have no idea what else to do at this point but to give it some time
Next week is when we agreed to use the Gravity Machine on the ship and use it to prepare ourselves better
Shaking my head, I slowly levitate a bit off the ground before I start flying back to the lab slowly
Frowning, I think about my own Super Saiyan form
I feel that I have made significant progress already that I can start using it
As nervous as I am about going Super Saiyan since my body wasn't ready for it, I am rather excited about finally using it for an extended period of time
#BULMA POV#
"This is it..." I whisper in shock as I finally crack down on what I would need for a detonator for Android 18
I start breathing heavily as the inventory that we have is enough to make the detonator right now
"YES," I scream out in joy
Gohan was able to put up somewhat of a fight against both of them
if we only have to deal with one of them, the 2 of...no, the 3 of them stand a real chance against 17
My mouth twists as frustration comes over me
17 has a lot more inside of him than 18
Especially since looking at the blueprints...it seems Gero was planning on either finding a person compatible enough in order to do a type of fusion or something
I can't really tell, but it seems to be pointing in that direction
To be honest, I wouldn't have found out about this fusion thing with 17 if I hadn't made a copy of the experiments made by Dr. Wheelo while I was being rescued
It would seem that either Gero knew about Wheelo's experiments and drew inspiration from them, or they were both working together
My joys goes away as I look over the blueprints for 17 and 18
If I made myself into something similar to them...could I help Gohan and Trunks in case Vegito turns out to be an enemy?
