21 remained innocent in all of this, not the least bit nervous to fight vegeta. he responded to everyone in turn. "Okay vegeta, however i feel a fair warning is in order. my data indicates you were defeated by the androids before, and i have demonstrated being as strong if not stronger than them. be careful in fighting me. Do not worry trunks, i am not human, so how recently i have awoken has no bearing on my strength. and of course mrs.bulma, we will 'take it outside.'" 21 then turned and walked out the door.

Charizard heard in his mind one of the strangers talking. The stranger seemed nice. He wanted to think back to silver, but suddenly the turtle stranger shouted at him. charizard didnt like it. it made him mad. "RRROOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR"Charizard roared again and shot warning fire at the turtle. Let him finish talking to the silver stranger before distracting him. Charizard tried to communicate with the stranger through his mind. but he didnt really understand language, so he tried his best based on what he heard the humans of this realm say. "I-i am charizard. i live h-h-here. No one is making me do a-any th-thing. i dont like mean trainers." he was refering to shulk, who had shown hostility before, but seemed to be on the side of the silver stranger.

"I mean yeah, that makes sense shulk, but be careful. we didnt come here to fight vines."

"Alright miles, I hope you had a plan. i cant hold him off any longer." Delsin thought. He loosened his grip on marluxia and moved the knife away, but kept it out. "alright, fine. your story seems to check out. but why have you come here for kirby? we still dont know."

"No vegeta, i am not. gero was killed before he could give me any directive. i have no desire to kill goku."

21 poked his head in the room now. he spent the flight back revewing his data to prepare. "Hello. i am android 21." Gohan - "and i though we were done with the new androids. hello, 21."

21 did as he was told, and did something he had never done before. he smiled. "thank you, brother."

Charizard sensed hostility. Carizard didnt like it. Charizard - GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH He began flapping his wings and hovered a few feet off the ground, spewing fire from his mouth, and baring his claws, as a warning to the strangers.

21 looked at 17. he was curious to see what others like him were like. and the others did seem quite kind, a quality his data suggested was good in humans. well, accept the majin girl. this lab was dusty......... he wanted to leave. he took a step, but paused. He wanted to? gero didnt program him with wants. so this must be....... his own. something his code was generating to fill the gap gero left. this was new, and 21 didnt understand it. but suddenly, he didnt care. he just wanted. wanted to know things his data didnt, and know people he had never seen. there was more than just the data collection he had done since gero died. and noone was gonna program him with it, so he better find it himself. He kept waking. I.....i would like to come with you. he looked at 17. can you teach me to be an android among humans?

Delsin didnt move. "were not 'holding' him here. hes our friend." He then heard miles say something behind him. "following him around?" He grip on the knife tightened. it took alot of willpower not to put him right to sleep. "Tell us who you are. no more of this 'nobody' business."

Hey, sorry guys, ive been busy with school work and rehearsals for my school play. sorry ive been inactive. im gonna ost right now.

As they got back to the house, delsin could see the signs of a break in from down the road. "Someone broke in. Be careful. You guys may wanna hang back." Silently, he dashed up to the house and slipped in, coming up behind marulxia. He threw his arm around his neck and held the knife he had drawn from his hip an Inch from his chest, indicating he would hurt him, but not quite yet. He wanted awensers. "Who are you and why are you here. I better like your answer."

Chie remained indignant. "He's sentient. Let him make his own decisions." She crossed her arms. She did not approve of any of this.

Hai soul. ^-^

HAI GUISE

21 stayed in place and blinked. "Gero neglected to program me with purpose. My data indicates my fellow androids were designed to fight goku, but gero never gave me anything of the sort. My data collection only targets earthly events outside the lab, so i have no information on what gero intended for me. I shall reamain here." He held out his hand like he was going to handshake someone, but approached no one. He clearly didnt know what a handshake actually was. "Goodbye. Thank you for the .....fun, as you call it."

"Yeah bro. lets get going." Delsin started. but he stopped. he thought for a moment. He had time to do one last thing. "But before we go, Let me do this." He pulled the knife off of his hip and cut each of the bodies off of the tree. he untied the nooses, and lie them in one of the graves. He pushed the dirt back in, and bowed his head to say something. "May you find the peace my parents never did. riposare in pace." That was just something he had heard in his travels he was told meant 'rest in peace'. He stood, took a deep breath, and said "Okay. lets get moving. dont want to miss the festival."

21 paused for a moment. "Well, Son Goku was earths most valuable fighter for quite a long time. My data indicates him having a role in defeating most threats to earths saftey if not doing it himself. his child, son gohan, was very powerful as well, being the one to finish off geros ultimate creation cell. His other child, your father, played a role in defeating the creature buu. the Son family seems to be earths "Protectors" in a manner of speaking."

"My data indicates fun is something alot of humans value, but i dont seem to have the capability of understanding it."

21 saw 17 swinging his leg towards him and ducked. now about level with yuki, he grabbed his wrist to stop the attack, and punched him in the chest as he released to stop the advance. now with 17 overcorrected past his head, he elbowed him down to the ground. "Why are we fighting? didnt we just show each other a sign of human friendship yuki? and android 17, we are one in the same. did you not just call me a "long lost brother"? My data indicates that family ties are regarded very highly in human society, which you seem to be accustomed to now."

(oh dang, musta missed that, my bad.) "yeah, i think hes asleep. we should probably wake him, this probably isnt a good place for a nap." he slowly approached the kid and nudged him a bit. "roxas? you okay buddy?"

Kev refrained from slashing away the vines. he dodged instead. "Yeah neko, just get rid of all of 'em, would ya?"

"Well, if you think he'll be okay, i trust your judgement. yeah, lets keep moving. Were just at the edge at the forest, he wont be too far in." Del turned and looked into the forest, trying to find a trace of roxas. He saw some recently trampled foliage and figured that was their best bet. They trekked through the woods as the signs became more and more obvious, and delsin started recognizing things. "He'll be just through here." as he pushed some foliage away, and saw roxas, shoveling graves. Delsin stopped in his tracks. He didnt exactly know how to proceed.

"Hmm? Tails? Wheres kirby? is he alone?" del stopped moving.

Delsin jolted up in his seat. "Gone? Really?" He thought for a second.Where could he have gone? "Hmm. there are a couple places he could be. my moneys on back at those bodies though. lets go check." he started out the door, but stopped and said "Kirby, you probably shouldn't come. I dont think you want to see this." He then left, saying nothing else. on the way, he started regretting what he had said. He figured miles would want to come, which would be good, but they couldnt just leave kirby home alone. He figured tails would follow, with kirby in tow, which made him feel bad. He didnt want the young boy to see such horrors. Should he have told them to check somewhere else? no, he couldnt lie to his friends. He just needed to see who came with him now.
