INVASION-CHAPTER ONE: UNWELCOMED GUESTS
Three hard years of strict training have passed. The Z Fighters must face their destiny now or lose their right to live. There is no room for mistakes. Unfortunately, some have already been made…
On an island near South City at 9:00 AM, the hope of the Universe gathers to plan their mission. Gohan, who is now 11 and experienced training with his father and Piccolo, was starting to arrive along with Goku and Piccolo. They met up with Kuririn on the way. When they landed they spotted Yamcha, new haircut and all, facing a different direction. Piccolo was on his left. Bulma was on his right. Goku started to break the silence. "Hi, guys. Well, it's time. We should…" He saw something in Bulma's arms. A baby! "This is my son. Say hello," Bulma said to Goku. "Hi, Trunks!" Everyone looked his way. "What did you call him? How did you know that was his name?" Goku started looking nervous. "Oops! I mean, uh lucky guess? Hehehehe..." She started looking at him strangely. Yamcha just shrugged. "Spare me the congratulations. I'm not his father…and you'll never believe who is," he said with a look of disgust. Goku just smiled. "Oh, you mean Vegeta!" Again, Bulma looked puzzled. "How did you know that? We were sure we didn't tell anybody." Goku sweated some more. "Um, I guess I must be psychic! Yea, that's it!" Everyone just ignored the subject for the remainder of the wait. After half an hour, Tien now arrived. They had decided Chao-tzu wouldn’t be much help. It was now 9:57 and still Vegeta hadn't shown up. Tien was bored. "It's almost 10. We can't wait any longer." Goku nodded. "Alright. We'll start looking for Dr. Gero's Laboratory…" Yamcha interrupted," But wait! I can't sense their kis anywhere! I mean I can even sense Master Roshi but not them. They're so powerful they should stick out like an elephant in a house!" Piccolo turned to face him. "That's because they're androids. They have no ki." Yamcha replied with a horrified face. Suddenly, a giant explosion of fire was seen to their left. Everyone stared. It was Yajirobe’s plane. Goku knew what happened. "That blast came from South City. But he can't be there. How would he know where it is? They must be around it by the canyons." Everyone agreed. "We'll split up. Everyone search for them. If you see them power up immediately so we'll be able to sense where you are. Gohan you help Bulma and Yajirobe. :et’s go!" They left and Bulma got in her Capsule Corp. gyroplane with Yajirobe. Goku, Piccolo, and Kuririn explored the mountains; Tien searched the desert while Yamcha investigated South City.
The town was in complete disarray. Citizens were running this way and that. Some were being killed by mysterious reasons. Yamcha saw a light post go hurtling through a man. He looked to his right and saw an old man with long, gray hair and a sort of German cylindrical hat. Next to him stood a short, chubby, white-faced creature next to him. Each possessed a logo with two Rs on it. /The Red Ribbon Army! The old guy must be Dr. Gero/ he thought. Both were smiling and shooting lasers from their eyes, terrorizing people. Yamcha landed right in front of the pair. "I don't know what you want but it's gonna stop!" Neither answered. In an instant, Dr. Gero's fist was through Yamcha's stomach, twisting with pain. Dr. Gero grinned devilishly as he raised his other arm. He placed it over Yamcha's face, preventing him from screaming for help. Yamcha felt a stinging sensation, as the old man appeared to be sucking energy away from him. He then threw Yamcha aside and flew up with is companion away from the scene. Kuririn sensed a ki fading. /Yamcha's ki…/ He soared straight to South City to see a dying Yamcha on the ground. Kuririn lifted him up and started flying. Yamcha got up and looked around. "Damn! They left!" Kuririn asked whom. Yamcha told him about Dr. Gero and the one with him. They took off towards the canyons and raised their power level. Everyone could sense them so they changed their flight path. "I thought that kid from the future said there were two androids. If you only saw Dr. Gero and the fat guy where's the other?" "Possibly in his lab." "Then we've gotta destroy it!" “But for now we gotta get you a senzu bean.” All but Goku arrived by a small street and saw the two figures. Dr. Gero saw the Z Fighters and smiled a bit. "Number 19, you can take care of these arrogant fools. I wonder where Goku is." The short one nodded. "Right Dr. This will be fun, heh." Yamcha stared. "Did he say No. 19? As in the nineteenth android!?"
