After a while, a thought occurred to Son Goku. "Ummmm, Vegeta?"


"Yes?" Came the reply in the usual harsh voice.


"Where exactly are we going now?"


"WHAT? I thought YOU knew!"


"No..."


"And now?"


"Ask the Kaioshin?"


"And where is the Kaioshin?"


"Don't know ... I actually thought he wanted to come to the meeting ..."


"Great. Turn around?"


At that moment something exploded in front of them. The fireball seemed to come out of the middle of the air and had no real origin. Vegeta reacted quickly and fended off the attack for the most part, Goku, who had not paid attention, was thrown back, but quickly recovered.


"Shit! What was that?" He heard Vegeta scream. Goku's eyes were blinded by the flash of the explosion, and it took him a moment to clear them. When he could see clearly again, his heart almost stopped.




A huge lizard-shaped thing stood on the ground in front of them.It was made entirely of some kind of dark metal and even towered over the two Saya-Jinns, even though they were just flying. The structure somehow reminded Goku of those little carnivorous dinosaurs he had seen once when he was in a museum with Goths. But they weren't that big and weren't made of metal either ...?




Vegeta now launched an attack on the giant robot. Discussions of energy hissed through the air until everything around Vegeta was enveloped in a large cloud of dust. He floated back until he got to Goku and stared hard at the metal dinosaur.


"What the hell ...?" Was all he got out.


"I have no idea ... Let's wait and see if it hits back ...", Goku replied.


Instead of an answer, Vegeta only gave a heavy breath. He must have put a lot of energy into his attack.


Goku slowly got up now, too. He took a defensive stance, preparing to counterattack the ... thing.But nothing happened. When the dust cleared, the thing was still as it was before. It hardly seemed to have taken off, but there were a few dents on the body. After all. Boo would have regenerated now ...


The dinosaur's head moved slowly back and forth. It made a disgusting noise, like metal scratching metal and a fingernail on a blackboard at the same time. Then something rumbled and the head stopped in an almost impossible position.


Vegeta was breathing quieter now. He and Goku were hovering side by side in the air, gazing intently at the metal lizard. A quick nod and everything was clear. Almost simultaneously, Vegeta and Son-Goku turned into Super-Saya-Jinns. Energy flew around them both, breaking the light and creating a gentle, warm breeze. That was their field, the fight. That was actually all they were really good at, where they were really free. With a loud scream they floated towards the lizard and threw around with energy.The air began to shimmer slowly and acrid smells spread. Eventually they were both ready to give the thing the coup de grace. Goku was collecting energy, a lot of energy, more energy than was good for him, but it doesn't matter. Vegeta did the same, and together they unleashed their storm on the enemy. Debris swept toward them as they concentrated their magic. Like two lasers, their energy beams burned the air and everything they hit. Then everything was over and Goku was limp in the air. His breathing was now as heavy as Vegeta's before, and he was struggling with the pain that was throbbing in his head. The smoke was slowly blown away. Now he saw the robot - or whatever it was - again. His right flank was completely split off and showed thick mechanical muscles and thousands of bundles of wire. Smoke rose steadily from the ruins. Everywhere the floor was covered with splinters and larger pieces of debris. Relief flowed through Goku.This opponent was normal, not some gross magical thing like Boo. He was tall, strong, dangerous, but also vulnerable. And now he was dead. Or broken, he didn't exactly look like a living being ...


"That was unnecessary." The voice didn't belong to Vegeta. Immediately Goku turned to her source. The exhaustion was forgotten, a ball of energy appeared in his hand, like an instinct his hair was blowing up again faster. But the speaker didn't seem dangerous. Nevertheless, Goku remained tense for the time being. What he saw was really unusual: It was a Namek, not a black one, as Goku was relieved to see. His arms didn't seem innate, they were made of metal and his hands were studded with all sorts of tools.


"Who are you? Was that your robot?" Vegeta asked gruffly.


"Yes, but it was a coincidence that you were around when I deactivated it.", The Namek replied.


"Deactivated? It looked pretty active before WE finally deactivated it."Vegeta continued to boast.


"No. It was clearly deactivated. Otherwise it would have responded to your attack."


"He did. He moved his head."


"Pfff .... moved your head ...." laughed the Namek. "But don't worry. My exoskeletons will never attack you on their own unless you attack them or provoke them in some other way."


"Who are you?", Goku took up Vegeta's question. The Namek only seemed to notice him now.


"Me? I'm one of the three you're looking for. Or am I wrong? You're looking for those who saw Sesesqua's risky attempt ...", the Namek replied.


Goku saw Vegeta tilt his head slightly. He understood. This guy could easily be insane. Best to solve the problem here and now while he was unprotected. Songoku barely noticeably moved the palm of his hand - no, not yet. Wait and see what he does.


"Aha. May you ask what this was supposed to be?" Vegeta asked briskly.


Again the name turned to Vegeta.

"Yes ... I'm here to protect you from the other two. I didn't know you were going to come over and started the self-destruction of this prototype. An aerosol bomb made of methanol hydrate and plladianium thermite. So that the armor is preserved and reusable As you can see, I got my wish for technical understanding from a good kite, otherwise something would stick to my aura as well as my body ... You know that as well as I do. "


Reluctantly, Goku had to agree. The guy really didn't look angry ... All the opponents they'd fought with so far had either been clearly angry or clearly delusional. Some both. But this one was actually quite normal, calm and actually not that strong. Maybe he really wanted to help them ...?
