Ryu was on a cliff with his arms crossed looking at Gohan who was grunting with his aura flaring up. Three years had passed as Ryu was almost back to his normal height at 6'3.

Ryu: 'He's getting closer.'

Gohan's hair began to spike as Ryu saw that it he was close to the edge.

Ryu: That's it Gohan.

Goku: Are you sure this is a good idea Ryu?

Both Piccolo and Goku were behind him.

Ryu: Trust me. This will help him in the long run too.

He jumped down walking to the boy.

Ryu: This is something you need to hear Gohan, but it's something you admirably won't like to hear either. You should've been this close a month into the training. What was holding you back was your fear of your own rage.

He began to walk around the boy who grunted even more.

Ryu: Now listen to this well. Don't let a single word slip by. If you don't harness this power for yourself, your dad is gonna die. Piccolo is gonna die. Even I, am going to die. But before all that, if you don't let yourself lose. You, are gonna die.

Gohan's hair began to flicker from black to blonde.

Ryu: What you've gotta do, is get out of your own damn head, and realize that you're more powerful than you let yourself believe!

Gohan's eyes started to change color as well.

Ryu: So, are you gonna go back to being the scared little kid that you were for half of your life, or are you going to stand up and fight for everyone you love?!!

Gohan: HAAAAAA!!!!

A bright flash came from Gohan as the ground beneath him began to crack as he fully transformed.

Gohan: Grrr...!!!

Goku: He did it... My son is a Super Saiyan.

Ryu: Good. Now you have to keep that power under control. You command it, not the other way around.

Gohan started to become more calm as soon the aura was gone.

Gohan: A-Argh...

Goku: I know, the first time it's hard to keep yourself from boiling out of control. Take a deep breath in and out son.

Gohan did so as he became more composed. He opened his eyes looking at them.

Gohan: I-I think I'm good.

Ryu: Good. I knew you could do it.

He placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder making him smile.

Ryu: The Androids are supposed to appear tomorrow. Show me what you got in this form. Don't hold ANYTHING back.

Gohan: Right!

Gohan powered up rushing towards Ryu. This speed surprised Ryu as he barely had time to put an arm up to guard.

Ryu: 'When did this little kid become such a strong warrior?'

Gohan threw punches and kicks being blocked and met by Ryu. Quickly he realized base form would quickly be taken down as he transformed into a Super Saiyan. Quickly he shot past Gohan in power about to knee the young half breed in the stomach. Gohan however managed to go over Ryu and kick him in the side of the head.

Gohan: 'ARGH! Man he's as solid as metal!

He grabbed Gohan's foot before throwing him back. Ryu powered back down into base from smiling.

Ryu: Yeah you're definitely ready. You're stronger than your dad on Namek.

Gohan powered down into base form.

Gohan: Geez, it's really hard to transform.

Ryu: You'll get used to it. The second time transforming isn't actually all that hard. What I want you to do is practice going in and out of the form for a bit. Do it until you can transform without getting too worked up.

Gohan: Right!

Ryu: Make sure to stop at night. The androids appear tomorrow.

Goku: I think with all that's happened we're- *COUGH*!!

Goku began to cough as he clutched his heart.

Gohan: Dad!!

Goku: Argh, guys don't worry I'm fine, it's just a-

Ryu: Don't even try to play it off Goku. The Virus is here earlier than it should be.

Goku: D-Damnit...!

He dropped to a knee trying to calm his breathing.

Ryu: Great. Alright guys, let's get Goku back to his place. It'll be better to take some of that medicine ourselves now.

Ryu grabbed Goku putting him over his shoulder before they all teleported right in front of Chichi causing her to scream.

Chichi: AHHHH!!!!

She nearly fell but Ryu caught her with his free arm.

Chichi: ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK RYU?!!!

Ryu: No, but your husband is kinda having one so- GET THE DAMN MEDICINE!!!

Hearing this Chichi went to search for it as Gohan Piccolo and Ryu went and laid Goku on a futon.

Chichi: I thought it would've come earlier!

Ryu: Yeah well a lot has changed from what it should be.

Shojo: I feel like that's more true than any of us know.

Shojo seemed the most uneasy saying that.

Shojo: 'I've never felt this sense of... Dread. What could be coming that's so powerful?'

While this was going on they heard crying. They looked to the side seeing a baby boy that looked far too much like Goku wailing.

Gohan: Oh no Goten!

Gohan went to grab the baby cradling him.

Gohan: It's okay Goten, dad is gonna be fine.

Ryu: '-_- *Sigh* He was born about 9 months too early.'

Shojo: Hey, who's fault is it for saying Goku should be with his wife more? Hint: Black and Red.

Ryu: 'I MEANT IN GENERAL I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THEM TO HAVE ANOTHER KID EARLY!!'

TIME SKIP!!

Goku had finally settled down as Ryu Gohan and Piccolo were outside with Chichi seeing them off.

Chichi: Make sure you all be careful alright? Especially you Gohan, leave all the dangerous stuff to Ryu!

Piccolo: With all due respect I don't think Gohan will be able to stay out of this fight.

Ryu: No promises. But focus on making sure Goku is alright. Hopefully we can stop the madness before it even starts.

They both grabbed onto Ryu was they teleported away. They arrived on a cliff as they saw everyone else aside from Vegeta and Tarble. Azure and Erica as well were close to returning to their full height.

Ryu: We're here.

Yamcha: See, what did I tell you guys? The Calvary.

Ryu looked and saw not only Bulma was there with a child but Aurora was there as well with a toddler girl holding her hand. Ryu smiled kneeling down patting her head.

Ryu: Hey there Kina.

She smiled seeing Ryu giggling and waving.

Ryu: So Aurora what are you doing on Earth?

Aurora: Well I decided to take some downtime from being a Huntress ever since Kina was born. I wanted to see what life on Earth was like so I thought why not visit.

Gohan: U-Uhhh, Bulma, is that a baby?

Yamcha: Sure is. You won't believe-

Literally Everyone: Vegeta.

Yamcha: Well it could've-

Ryu: Like anyone would buy that.

He poked Trunks on the nose.

Ryu: Right Trunks?

This caused the young boy to giggle and smile as Bulma rose an eyebrow.

Bulma: Wait a sec, how did you know his name?

Ryu: Bulma I know damn near everything to some degree.

Tien: So I'm gonna ask the obvious question of where Goku is.

Ryu: Well, he caught the heart virus yesterday.

Krillin: Yesterday?!!

Ryu: We'll have to make due without him for now. Also, just know the Androids are mechanical so they won't be giving off any life energy.

Azure: Yeah. But they're gonna be here in a few hours.

Erica: Bulma, Aurora, you guys can't be anywhere near here.

Bulma: I told you I'll leave once I've gotten a good look at the Androids.

Aurora: Are you really going to put your son in danger like that?

Bulma: Then-

Aurora: No.

Bulma: I didn't even finish talking!

Aurora: Would you be fine if I left you with Kina and Trunks?

Bulma: ...

Kina: Mommy? Is that bad?

Aurora: Of course not sweetie.

Ryu: And now we wait.

TIME SKIP!!

Yajirobe had come in an air car delivering Senzu Beans to the group.

Ryu: Get ready guys.

Tien: What?

Azure got ready to take off at any second.

Azure: Any sight yet?

Ryu's eyes glowed as they zoomed in to Yajirobe's car. Right then he saw two figures with one readying to blast the car out of the sky.

Ryu: THEY'RE HERE!!!

They all flew in as Azure backhanded a blast away from the car.

Azure: GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HERE MAN!!

Yajirobe: YOU AIN'T GOTTA TELL ME TWICE!!!

Yajirobe flew away even faster as the rest of the Z-Fighters joined them in the air. Ryu stared down the old man before looking over to the clown.

ANDROID 19!

Piccolo: So you're the Androids? Not quite the monsters I expected.

Gero: How strange. You identified us as Androids without any explanation from us.

Ryu: Oh that's not all Gero.

The mad doctor was even more shocked hearing Ryu call him by name.

Ryu: Yeah that's right I know all about your shit. Now, follow me if you wanna get turnt into scraps.

Gero: Do you wish to relocate due to-

Ryu: I wanna relocate because I like the atmosphere so try anything unnecessary and I'll shortcut you.

And aura surrounded Ryu as he flew away. Everyone else followed as while he flew he felt a pulsing sensation in his arm.

Ryu: 'No, not a chance.'

No one else noticed this as soon enough they landed in a wasteland.

Erica: So, what exactly do you know about us now?

Gero: I'd say we know more than enough.

Azure: Just for the record, when was the last time you lot recorded the data we had?

Gero: The battle against the Saiyan's. Any power increases after that wouldn't have strayed far from the data.

Ryu: So, I'll take it you stopped right when I transformed into the Wrathful Form.

Krillin: HOHO, you guys are in for a surprise.

Piccolo: Take it from me, your data models aren't calibrated to Super Saiyan. Or more specifically, Super Saiyan Ryu.

Ryu smirked as he began to clench his fist. His eyes turned turquoise as his black and red hair changed to blonde.

Ryu: HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

The golden aura burst from around him as he became a Super Saiyan creating a shockwave. The Androids were shocked as even some of the Z-Fighters couldn't believe what they sensed.

Tien: Th-This is...

Yamaha: Unreal...

Azure: Damn, he's definitely gotten stronger.

Erica: What do you expect? He's our leader.

Ryu: I already know Ki attack won't work, so I guess I'll have to beat you until there's nothing left.

The same feeling in his arm came up again as Ryu went into a stance.

Ryu: 'I'll have to finish things quick though...'

Gero: A most intriguing discrepancy this dormant power. 19. Prepare to engage in combat.

19: Yes. Murder.ex activating. 10%, 20%-

Ryu: Yeah fuck that.

Ryu blitzed 19 kicking him into the air. He zipped up and then began to lay a brutal beating the on mechanical clown.

Tien: Amazing!

Krillin: I've never seen him move like this! He's definitely a Super Saiyan!!

Azure and Erica noticed what was off immediately.

Azure: Erica...

Erica: Yeah I know.

19 tried firing a Ki Blast at Ryu but he dodged and started kicking the Android as hard as he could. Slowly Piccolo began to notice it as well.

Yamcha: That's the way Ryu! Take that guy down for good!

19 was still unable to land a blow in on Ryu as he soon shot a thunderbolt at 19 temporarily paralyzing the robot.

Shojo: Ryu are you sure you can do this?

Ryu: 'I've gotta at least try. They're both stronger than they should be. I should've take out 19 without even breaking a sweat by now but he keeps taking the damage!'

He grabbed him by the face before throwing 19 into the ground. Now finally Gohan was able to notice slightly worried.

Gohan: Piccolo...

Piccolo: I know.

Yamcha: Huh? What's the deal guys? Ryu's handing that robot it's generous white ass right now!

Azure: I wouldn't expect the rest of you to notice this detail. Ryu attacked first, without assessing things for at least another second before he went in. That was strike one.

Erica: Next he started off fighting without giving the Android time to breathe.

Piccolo: That's not his fighting style in the slightest, so strike two.

Gohan: And strike three is the fact that Ryu's trying to rush this fight and finish as soon as possible. I've never seen him do that, not even in the battle on Namek.

Ryu rained thunder down on 19 keeping him frozen before he pulled a hand back.

Krillin: Wait he's gonna do it!

Ryu: Stardust!!!

The blue and green blast formed in his hand as he readied to fire it at 19.

Ryu: CAN-

Right as Ryu threw his hand forward his eyes widened as he felt a pain this time through his entire body.

Ryu: ARGHH!!!

The blast dispersed as he grabbed his arm.

Ryu: D-Damnit, right now?!!

Yamcha: What happened?!

19 got back up before flying up and head butting Ryu doing more damage than he really should have.

Shojo: This isn't good.

Ryu: T-Tell me something I don't know...!!

Gohan: What?!

Tien: What just happened?!

Azure saw Ryu clenching his arm trying to hide the agony he was in.

Azure: HIS ARM!!!

Azure flew up and was about to jump in before Gero appeared in front of him.

Gero: That's far enough! Go any further and I will strike you down.

Azure: You don't have a snowballs chance in hell at-

He shot a laser into Azure's chest causing him to fall.

Yamcha: Azure!!

Krillin: RYU HEADS UP!!

Krillin was about to throw a bean at Ryu but was stopped.

Ryu: NO DON'T!! I'VE TRIED, SENZU BEANS DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP WHEN I'M LIKE-

19 punched him in the stomach before grabbing Ryu's neck in a vice grip.

Ryu: AHHHHH!!!

His energy began to be drained from his body as the glow of Super Saiyan faded from Ryu.

Gero: Excellent-

19 was kicked off of Ryu as a familiar man stood there.

???: Bringing Ryu down is my pleasure. Find someone else clown.
