Fanfic: Ein Cyborg rastet aus (Teil 2)
Chapter: A cyborg is freaking out (part 2)
Hello everybody!
i know the last part was a long time ago, but i had a lot to do at the time: school, work, ... you probably know that ^^
but in case some of you liked my story so far, I'll put the next part online. I also switched from my original narrative style (got a tip from a reader ^^), but you will surely notice that when you read the continuation ;-)
@ ChibiAngel_Rai25: Thank you very much for your comment, I was very happy about it! I also took your advice to heart and rewrote the story a little. let's see if your "prediction" is correct! ^^

Now!
24 releases all of its pent-up energy in one fell swoop. The subsequent explosion shakes the city to its foundations and completely razes the substation to the ground. The explosion cone covers the site of the work and, due to the sudden imbalance of the electrostatic forces, causes all life on the site to pass.Only our friends could save themselves by quickly erecting protective shields.
When the dust settled, everyone stared at 24
in disbelief
"Um ... 24, is everything ... Are you all right?" The concern in Krillin's tone can be clearly heard.
"Hey man, have you gone mad?!? Look at what you've done! Why did you blow the substation?" Yamcha is beside himself and angrily approaches 24, but Kame holds him back ...
"Stop it, Yamcha, something is wrong with him ...", she whispers in his ear, and now Goku joins in: "24, what happened in there?"
But 24 turned his back on the whole group and took a few steps away. Apparently he wants to take off ...
The group watches him perplexed. What's the matter with him?
Krillin runs after 24 and tries to hold his arm: "Hey, wait a minute, tell us first what happened!"
But when he touches it, krillin receives a violent surge of electricity from the electrostatic cloud that surrounds 24 and is thrown back.
Everyone looks in shock at Krillin hitting the hard concrete floor, twitching strangely, as if he was having an epileptic seizure, and groaning in pain.
Gohan and Yamcha run over to him immediately, but Kame and Goku stare at 24. "What the hell happened to him?" Kame thinks to himself.
Goku: "Damn, 24, what's the matter with you, talk to me!"
But 24 does not react to Goku, but takes off and flies east, directly towards Piccolo, who is just training there. Krillin is slowly coming to. Consumed with pain, he holds the hand with which he touched 24 and sees that it is totally burned.
"Oh man, what happened to him?"
Bulma is visibly dissolved: "Something bad must have happened in the plant! It seemed as if he did not know you."
Krillin has now picked himself up again: "Hey, where is it actually going? There in the distance I can only feel the energy of Piccolo."
Everyone concentrates and also notices the aura of Piccolo, but no one seems to be able to make sense of it. Everyone except Bulma ...
"Piccolo?!? Oh dear, that explains everything ..."
The group looks curiously at Bulma, and Kame asks: "What is it, Bulma? Do you know the solution?"
"I think so ... Back when 24 was deactivated in the fight against Nappa and Vegeta, I took a close look at him with my father. We wanted to fix him. We made a strange discovery. We ... "
Kame interrupts her: "You found a lot of bad files in a command folder in main memory, right?"
Bulma looks at her in surprise. "How do you know ...?", But Kame already replies. "Your father once told me about it. And according to your analysis, 24 was created around 365 to 370 years ago ..."
"370 years" ... Goku thinks and strains out loud ... "Something was there ..." And suddenly he remembers. "During this time Piccolo Senior, the predecessor of our Piccolo, ruled!"
"Are you saying that 24 was constructed back then to kill Piccolo Senior?" Krillin can't believe it ... 24 - an assassin?!?
"That's the way it is, Krillin!"
Now Yamcha interferes: "Then why didn't he attack Piccolo the first time he saw him?"
Bulma's expression darkens. "The files were so corrupted that 24 apparently had no use for them. He" didn't "know what they meant. But now they seem to be activated again ..."
"And what happened to Krillin? He got some kind of electric shock!" Yamcha points angrily at Krillin's hand.
But Bulma just shakes her head. "I'm at a loss too, Yamcha ..."
Goku urges us to leave. "We can sort that out later!Come on friends, Piccolo is not far away and I bet 24 is already with him! "
“Hurry now, we have to hurry!” Kame flies high in the air and looks impatiently at the others.
Yamcha (to Bulma): "Bulma, come here, I'll take you piggyback, then you can get an idea of 24's status for yourself."
Bulma gets on Yamcha’s back.
The group takes to the skies and sets course for Piccolo.
Meanwhile, 24 has already arrived at Piccolo and ends up with him. Piccolo is in the middle of his training and doesn't even notice 24 until he happens to "discover" him.
Piccolo puts on a slightly slippery smile. "Oh, hello, 24! How was your stroll through town?"
"Are you Piccolo the devil?" asks 24 in his toneless and monotonous voice.
Piccolo looks puzzled about the question at 24, but then an amused expression forms on his face: "Um ... Yes, that's me!" He looks at 24 with a grin.
But he clenches his fist. "Then die!"
Without warning, 24 attacks Piccolo with a hard punch in the stomach, which makes Piccolo sink to his knees because the attack came so suddenly. In disbelief and with a face devoured by pain, he stares into the emotionless face of 24.
"Damn, 24 ... What's this?!?"
24 looks down at Piccolo. "Because of you, countless people died, because you wanted to demonstrate your power, or because you were bored! Because of you, people have lived in indescribable fear for years, they don't even dare to go out into the streets! I'll put an end to that once and for all! will obliterate you and you will feel the same helplessness as your victims! "
Piccolo stares in disbelief in 24. "What are you talking about?!?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid! You know exactly what I'm talking about! You are the devil Piccolo, the scourge of humanity!"
Piccolo tries to get up slowly, but he is too weak - from his training and from the stroke of 24.
"But that was a long time ago! 24, what's the matter with you! You know very well that I was reborn a long time ago and have changed since then!"
But 24 just keeps looking down at Piccolo. "Stop telling lies like that! You're just trying to talk your way out and save your own skin! But this time you will not escape! I WILL NEED YOU AND GIVE PEACE TO THE WORLD !!!"
With these words, Piccolo rushes and begins to beat him up with every trick in the book. Piccolo doesn't even get a chance to fight back. He takes enormous damage, not only from the force of the blows from 24, but also from the electrostatic field that still surrounds 24.
After 24 has beaten Piccolo half to death, he stops briefly. Piccolo lies on the floor, unable to move. 24 goes up to him, picks him up and stares him in the eye. Piccolo returned his gaze with great difficulty.
"Well, how do you feel when you look death in the eye?" Hisses at him. "Imagine the countless people that you or your demons have killed, then you will know how they were!"
24 lets go of Piccolo, who falls to the floor and no longer moves. 24 floats high in the air, just above Piccolo. He wants to fire a Kame Hame - Ha.
"THIS IS YOUR END !!!"
24 fires.
But shortly before it hits him, a yellow ball of energy comes flying in from the left, which deflects the Kame Hame - Ha into the sky. 24 looks around and sees 6 figures flying towards him from afar. He recognizes them as human beings, although their powers far exceed those of a conventional human ...
24 the world no longer understands. "What's that, why did you distract my attack?!? It would have destroyed Piccolo, and the world would be safe again!"
Kame and Gohan fly down to Piccolo and take care of him. Yamcha sets Bulma down on the floor and climbs back up to join the others.
"24, stop that nonsense! Piccolo is one of us! Don't you understand?!? He's one of our friends, you train with him every day!" Krillin sounds very worried again. "Bulma thinks your circuitry is going crazy! Deactivate yourself, then Dr. Briefs can examine you and fix you!"
"I don't need any repairs, I function perfectly normally. Why are you defending Piccolo? Are you among his followers? Has he brought you under his control with his black power? If so, I'm sorry for you - then I have to." switch you off for better or for worse! "
"Damn it, 24, stop it! We're your friends! We just want to help you!" Shouts Yamcha angrily.
But 24 doesn't listen to him. He flies towards whoever is closest to him - that's krillin.He starts beating up krillin, and krillin is too surprised that
his former "best friend" attacks him in order to kill him. But Goku intervenes: after 24 hits Krillin a few times, Goku flies towards 24 and hits him in the face to stop 24. In fact, 24 lets go of krillin, but Goku flinches as if he's been electrocuted.
"... Damn it, my hand hurts like I got a wipe!"
"Watch out, friends, 24 use the electric field that surrounds him as a kind of barrier! That way he can give you electric shocks!" Shouts Bulma from below.
