Rips Android 19's steel wrists like paper-mâché with his grip

SSHRRIIEEK, came the sound of tempered steel ripping like paper-mâché. One of the fighters, a pale plump android, had fallen to its knees, crying out in furious, strangled yelps. Vegeta, the golden Super Saiyan who restrained it, was digging his fingers further and further into the machine's wrists. The foolish abomination had tried a blind, head-on assault against the most powerful Saiyan to have ever lived, and its futile efforts had been halted by nothing but a simple wrist flick from the prince.

"Ah," smiled the Saiyan, "so you do indeed feel pain. Or is this just frustration? Hard to tell…"

Dr. Gero, whose true identity was still unknown to the Z fighters – so far, the moustached cyborg had been careful to refer to himself only as Android 20 – had begun to show concern for the first time. Vegeta's sudden transformation into a golden warrior has been unnerving enough, but now he realized the extent of the prince's new power.

'How could my calculations have been so inaccurate? I have made far too many errors so far, and the odds continue to stack against me. If 19 does not find another chance to steal energy, the damage he takes from Vegeta will completely drain his reserves and he will begin to malfunction. I CANNOT allow that.'
