Chapter 6: Attack of the Androids; return of the princess
"Yajorobi? Are you alright?" asked Gohan as he flew the samurai up to the cliff.
Yajorobi looked up the small saiyan and frowned. "Of course not you fool! My plane blew up and I nearly drowned! How am I supposed to be alright??! I mean geez."
Gohan rolled his eyes and became tempted to drop the man. Of course he would catch him at the last minute, but seeing the look on Yajorobi's face would be priceless.
"Gohan! Hurray up!" The young saiyan looked ahead to see Bulma waving him in. As soon as he was over the land, he dropped Yajorobi.
Bulma stifled a laugh and shifted Bra on her hip. "Now Gohan," she began, "your father told me that you need to stay here and help me a bit before you can go to help him fight."
"Ah, Bulma!" Gohan whined, "that's not fair, I want to fight!"
Bulma's expression became serious, "Now Gohan, your father entrusted you to me and I intend to not let him down. Now, you can take care of Bra while I get ready to leave. Ok?"
Gohan nodded and took Bra from Bulma. The little girl smiled widely and began tapping his nose.
Bulma smirked slightly and dragged Yajorobi over to help her.

"Oh man, not being able to sense these androids makes his really hard," Yamacha muttered as he walked around the city streets. As he turned a corner, he saw a few children trapped in a building engulfed in flames.
"Oh no," he cried and flew up to the window and punched in open. He grabbed the three and flew them safely down to the street. Just as he landed, he heard a pop then the building crashed down behind him.
"It's okay now guys," Yamacha smiled, letting go of the kids. "You better get out of here now before something else happens," The little children smiled and dashed off down the street. He turned in the other direction and saw two figures staring at the downed building. High off his rescue, Yamacha raced over to advise these two to leave as well.
"Hey fellas, you better get out of here, something's going wrong on the island," Yamacha shouted to get their attention. The fatter one turned around to look at Yamacha, who was taken aback by the man. He was short and fat with a chubby white face. He wore a black vest over a yellow shirt and had brown pants tucked into black boots. On his bald head was a yellow pointy hat with the insignia 'RR'. The tall old man next to him turned around and nearly smacked the bald man with his long white hair. He had a large white mustache and wore similar clothing to the other except he had a tall black hat with the emblem 'RR'.
"Didn't you hear me?" Yamacha exclaimed, slightly perturbed. "I told you this island wasn't safe, you should go!"
The bald man looked up at the old man who nodded. He walked towards Yamacha and grabbed him by the neck. Before Yamacha could react, he began to fell drowsy. Slowly, his energy was sucked out of him. Suddenly, he felt a great pain in his chest, strained his tired eyes to look down, and saw the creature had blasted right through his stomach. There was a dull pain on his right side and he noticed that he was now lying on the ground. His mind began to fog before the whole world went black.
* * * * *
Goku's head snapped in the direction where Yamacha's ki signature had once been. He rose his ki to alert the others and flew over. As he approached, he witnessed two men setting fire to the city with energy blasts. He landed in the center of the blaze with Piccolo, Tien, and Krillin close behind him. Across from them stood the two androids with Yamacha flung upon the pavement. The androids turned to face Goku and laughed.
"So," the older man smirked, "the great Goku has lived all these years. However, you shall meet your end at last. You may have destroyed my old army, but you shall never even live to see my new army destroy all those who you hold dear."
Goku stared hard at the man before realizing that it was Dr.Gero. His eyes widened when he saw Gero pick up Yamacha by the hair. "Oh, Goku. I do believe this belongs to you," the android laughed as he tossed the lifeless body of Yamacha to the saiyan.
Goku caught the bandit's body and felt out with his ki towards Yamacha's. Krillin and Tien looked over to Goku expectantly, but were startled to see the warrior's eyes begin to tear up.
"You killed him, you bastard!" Goku yelled as his ki began to rise.
"Goku, don't do this here," Piccolo shouted at the vengeful man "there are still too many innocents here. You need to go to an uninhabited area,"
Goku nodded, but didn't relax his muscles. "Gero!" he shouted. "I will fight you, but away from this island. Follow me,"
The android smirked and levitated off the ground. Goku growled and rose quickly. "Krillin," he called, "go tell Bulma what's going on. Tell her that I'm taking Gero to the place I fought Vegeta all those years ago. I'm afraid to say we might need Gohan. Hurray!"
"Sure thing Goku," the monk mused, flying towards the cliff.
"Follow me!" Goku shouted to the androids as he flew away quickly.

Bra sighed as she powered up the time machine. After taking a quick rest with her family, she decided to go back and help Goku and her father with the battle against the androids.
"Damn, why does this thing take so long to work?!" she cursed aloud. Though she appreciated the time of rest, she was itching for action. The androids from her time line hadn't attacked for some time.
"Well, if you were a bit more patient then maybe it would work faster," replied a deep voice standing outside the machine.
Bra laughed for the first time that day and opened the top of the time machine. "Hey Gohan, are you sure you don't want to come with me back? I could use the help,"
The son of Goku groaned, "B-chan, you know perfectly well that I can't, no matter how much I'd like to. First, they'll probably recognize me and second I'm injured. Do you remember that I was 'dead' for a couple years? I was barely alive. I had amnesia most of the time. When I finally remembered who I was, that freaking android 17 found me and beat me senseless. I escaped and found my way back to the shelter. I lost my arm in that battle B-chan, what could I do in the future?"
Bra frowned, "I'm sorry Gohan, I didn't mean to make you feel mad. I was just well, feeling a bit lonely. The past is a strange place Gohan. Everyone is there. Happy, alive; different but the same. I can barely remember them in my earliest memories. I can't imagine what it would be like for you, remembering them so vividly. I'm so sorry," Bra sniffled and a small tear ran down her cheek.
Gohan sighed and gently wiped the tear from her face. "It's ok Bra. You are able to do what Bulma, my mom and I could never do. Face the past. Now, you get going. I expect you to have perfected the abilities of super saiyan. Go kick some android ass!" He grinned and pecked Bra gently on the cheek before backing away from the machine. Bra smiled and closed the roof. Sighing, she set in her destination and pressed go. As the world around her swirled, she rose her hand to the place Gohan kissed her. She sighed softly and smiled. The man she loved had kissed her and called her Bra.

Thanks to all who have been patient. Semester 1 is over so I hope to get one or two chapters out by mid Feb.
Matt Zero- I actually wasn't planning on a Mirai Gohan/Mirai Bra pairing but since you mentioned it, I decided it would be interesting to include.
