Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 75 Dr. Gro's masterpiece!

After bringing Dr. Gero and Android 16 back, Goten found a relatively safe place for them. Following Dr. Gero's instructions, he repaired their bodies and then prepared to begin their training before the Cell Games.

At this moment, Android 16 asked, "This world is the world after Cell was defeated, right? Why did you bring us here? And do you really intend to go back and fight Perfect Cell?"

Goten said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. You and Dr. Gero should live the life you want here again, cherish nature and all that. But don't make defeating Goku your goal anymore. Bye-bye, I'm going to train for a technique to defeat Cell."

Watching Goten's departing figure, Dr. Gero said to Android 16, "Android 16, I've made many mistakes, and now I need to start planning my future anew. Please help me, I beg you, after all, you're modeled after my son..."

Number 16 glanced at Dr. Groh and said coldly, "As long as you stop destroying nature, I have no problem..."

Goten used the Magic Ring to open the training space and entered. He then decisively began attempting to break through to Super Saiyan form. In Super Saiyan mode, Goten began to continuously increase his power. However, while increasing his power, his muscles uncontrollably expanded, turning him into a muscular hunk...

He threw a couple of punches and kicked a couple of times, and found that although his strength was formidable, his speed was reduced by half. In this state, his stamina was also draining at an alarming rate, and he returned to normal in less than ten minutes due to energy loss.

Goten then changed his approach, transforming into a Super Saiyan and using the Ring to summon Goku and others from other worlds. Super Saiyan Goku, Super Saiyan Vegeta, and Super Saiyan Trunks were summoned before Goten. Looking at the three, Goten said, "In order to break through to become a Super Saiyan beyond Super Saiyan, I beg you three to train with me."

The three summoned were immediately met with Goku and Trunks' immediate agreement, but Vegeta retorted, "Are you kidding me? You want me to team up with Kakarot? No way! I'm going to defeat all three of you!"

Upon hearing this, Goten said it was up to him, and then he began to train with the three Super Saiyans in the training space. It was more like a four-on-three battle than a one-on-one fight between Goten and the three Saiyans. None of the four of them fought for more than ten minutes at a time, and each time they were suddenly interrupted by the others.

A day passed, and Goten realized that he wasn't improving much at all, so he dismissed the three of them and left the training space. Goten decided to move on to the next training exercise, so he decisively transformed into a Super Saiyan and began to maintain his Super Saiyan form, training in the mountains as if he were always in Super Saiyan mode...

Meanwhile, after Krillin returned to Master Roshi's House and told Android 18 that he had lost Goten, Android 18 immediately set off to find out what Goten was up to. Dora followed, sensing that someone familiar was approaching...

The two arrived one after the other at the place where Krillin lost Goten. Dora used her mechanical eye to scan the area and found Dr. Gero, who was modifying Android 16, before Android 18 could. The moment she saw Dr. Gero, Dora excitedly shouted, "Dr. Gero! It really is you."

Dr. Gro turned his head and saw Dora asking in confusion, "Who are you? You look like a robot. Who created you?"

Dora explained, "I am Number 12. After you threw away my chip, I was recreated by another doctor and have now been given a new life, Dr. Gro... I have a request..."

Meanwhile, Android 18 was still aimlessly searching for Goten's whereabouts, but after searching all day, he found nothing. Just as he was about to head home, he saw Dora sneaking off somewhere, so he began to secretly follow her.

After seeing Dora enter a cave, Android 18 immediately followed and was surprised to find Android 16. However, what shocked Android 18 even more was that Dr. Gero was also there. Upon seeing this, Android 18 rushed in and charged straight at Dr. Gero, but was stopped by Android 16.

Seeing Number 16 blocking her way, Number 18 angrily roared at Dr. Groh: "Dr. Groh, you bastard, how did you come back to life? And how dare you control Number 16!"

Android 16 then retorted, "Calm down, I wasn't controlled. Android 18, Dr. Gero and I were both rescued from another world by a kid named Son Goten..."

At this moment, Dr. Gro said to Number 18, "Number 18, how is Number 17? He should still be alive. I am deeply sorry for what happened to you two. You can kill me if you want, but you can wait until I remove the self-destruct device from Dora's body first."

Upon hearing this, Number 18 looked at Dora, who was undergoing modifications, and temporarily lowered her guard. Three hours later, Dora's modifications were completed. When she awoke, Dora discovered that not only was her self-destruct device gone, but her appearance was also completely identical to a human's. As soon as she stepped onto the ground, she found Number 18...

At this moment, Dr. Gro said to Number 18, "Alright, the modification is complete. Now, Number 18, do with me as you please..."

Upon hearing Dr. Gro's words, Dora immediately stepped forward and pleaded with Number 18, "Wait, Number 18, please spare Dr. Gro! I will continue to work for you and atone for my sins, please don't kill Dr. Gro..."

Number 18 roared angrily at Dora, "What a joke! Do you think that guy can easily forgive what he did to me and Number 17? Who can understand the pain of being modified..." As he spoke, he gathered energy in his hands and aimed at Dr. Gro.

Seeing this, Dora stood in front of Android 18 and said to her, "Then let's eliminate me too, Dr. Gro... he's my father."

Dr. Groh was deeply moved by these words. Just as Number 18 unleashed the energy wave, Dr. Groh immediately stepped forward, pushed Dora aside, and took the powerful blow with his own body before collapsing to the ground, powerless...

Dr. Gero looked at Dora, and finally stroked her cheek, saying haltingly, "It seems... you are... my greatest... greatest... greatest masterpiece. Son Goten... that guy brought me here, so it was for my true greatest masterpiece, Dora... that's her name, right? It's a really good name... I have a favor to ask of you. Pass on my wisdom to Son Goten; it's my gift to him..."

After saying this, Groh removed the chip from his head and placed it in Dora's hand. Then he closed his eyes forever. Dora held Dr. Groh's chip, wiped away her tears, and said to Android 18, "I'm sorry, Android 18, I can't take care of Maren anymore. I'm... an independent person now, so..."

Number 18 interrupted Dora, saying, "Whatever. Anyway, I wasn't planning on keeping you indefinitely. Number 16, take good care of your sister..." and then left.

Meanwhile, Number 16 joined Dora in searching for a new place to live...
