CHAPTER ONE: The Androids Are Born
DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately I do not own DBZ or any of its characters,
I opened my eyes. I was floating in a tank filled with some sort of liquid, a warm, nourishing liquid. Surprisingly I was fully formed and knew exactly what I was supposed to do. I shot to the top of my tank and popped the top off. Then I jumped out and shook out my wet blond hair.
In the tank to the right of me had climbed out a person with black hair that I knew to be my brother. To my left was a giant with red hair that came to be known as #16. My name ran through my head, I was Android 18 and my brother was Android 17. We were to destroy the Earth; no one would be allowed to stop us.
In front of us stood Dr. Gero or Android 20 and Android 19 who had already emerged. Dr. Gero smiled and said, "You are perfect. Good. You shall destroy the Earth. Let no one stop you, even the Special Forces who will try."
Then I spoke, "Why should we obey you? You are of no great power."
Dr. Gero looked furious but then he laughed, an evil sound even to me. "You will obey because that is what you were programmed to do. You will soon feel the need to destroy. And if you do not then I shall rebuild your mind and make it so that you do."
I nodded, accepting that. My brother, his eyes shining with blood lust said, "Shall we start with you?" I stepped beside him, my fists ready if we had to fight.
Dr. Gero raised his hands. "I am an Android like you. You must go out and destroy the humans. And the saiyan who still live and will try to stop you, no doubt."
That was how I was born and how I learned that my only purpose was to destroy. For some odd reason I felt a great sadness well up inside of me when I thought of what I would do. But that portion of my soul, the real me, was pushed off to the side by my mechanical brain that ordered me to leave with 17 and destroy everything that got in our way.
Yet one day perhaps it all would change. Somewhere in my brain of death I had the thought that perhaps I would someday be different.
