Chapter 1:

His plans were finally falling into place. The key to his success and achieving his life's dreams were only a click of a button away. However, this scheme needs everything to be perfect and flawless. Thus, he checked the codes on his massive computer once more. He scanned the carious codes he had entered and pressed the button that will change his life and make him the ruler of his planet. In nothing more than a minute, all the information was sent to three chipsets, which were placed on a tray. Then, he held the plate and moved to three tables, which were labeled '16', '17' and '18', placed in the center of his underground laboratory.

He uncovered the tables which were occupied by three dormant humans, a boy with black hair, a girl with blonde hair and a man with orange tufts. The three were wearing identical uniforms with the 'Red Ribbon Army' logo on each. Dr. Gero quickly inserted the chipsets in their rightful place and moved to his computer once again. His androids were finally going to wake up from their slumber, and he was giddy just by thinking about it.

He pulled a lever, which provoked energy to flow through many tubes connected to each of the three humans. The immense power caused a loud sound to erupt. However, the mad scientist didn't care, he didn't even notice since he was too preoccupied by the sheer beauty of his puppets' awakening. One by one, they got up; their cold, light blue eyes examined the place they were in. They heard a strange sound, so they instantly looked at the source of laughter.

"Ah, my great androids, you're finally awake!" The doctor grinned as he clapped his hands giddily, "You're here at last to fulfill my wishes!" The androids blinked lazily at the old man as he went on and on about what they were going to do 'for him'.

"Why would you think that we're her to do anything for you?" The boy with black hair, whose table had '17' written on it, interrupted. The scientist growled in warning.

"Do not interrupt me 17!" he yelled while his left eye twitched, "Now, as I was saying, you have to destroy anything and everything that stands in your way. Everyone who refuses to do as I wish, you put him down. Understand?"

It was silent after that. Up until the blonde android 18 found that something was amiss.

"Why should we?" she asked.

"Because I created you, I brought you to life and you have to do as I say," he said annoyingly, "Also, if you don't I'll use this," he said as he revealed a device, "to shut you down."

"I don't think that's about to happen." 17 said in a monotone. All of a sudden, he disappeared and reappeared right in front of the doctor, took the device from his hand and returned to his place between the two, now standing, androids.

"Give that back." Dr. Gero growled.

"Do you think we should give it back to him?" 17 asked his two companions. The blonde shook her head while 16 remained silent, like he had been for a long time now, "I say it's time to get rid of the mad doctor."

"You, you wouldn't dare!" the doctor ground out, his eyes bulging out of his head. The dark-haired android smirked as he dashed forward, knocking the doctor back. Then, he grabbed the scientist's head and crushed it with his hand making blood to spurt all over him. The android's smirk widened when he finished his job.

"Let's go have some fun!" he told his companions.

"I must destroy Son Goku…" the orange-haired man spoke for the first time.

"Well, since it's your first thing to say, I guess okay. Killing him will be fun, right 18?" Nevertheless, the girl didn't respond, she just watched the blood trickle from her brother's hand and clothes. Drip…Drip…Drip… it produced as it made contact with the ground. No one in this room understood her. She didn't ask why they should destroy for Dr. Gero; she wondered why they had to eradicate anything at all! However, she decided to go with the flow and do as her brother says, for now. She trusted her brother, and she knew that she can always count on him. He was always there for her and her for him.

She nodded in answer to his question and followed her two friends outside. It was only this Son Goku who will be killed. And no one else.

3 years later…

Their newest mission was a success! They have annihilated a whole city with all its inhabitants, flora and animals. All in less than thirty minutes! The three androids floated above the now destroyed buildings and cold bodies, two of them in admiration and the last in hope of this city being the last one… but she knew it wouldn't be the final one. After all, she has been wishing for the exact same thing when they wiped out the city before this one. And the city before that. And like a hundred towns before it.

"So which place is it gonna be next?" 17 asked happily while dusting himself. 16 pointed to the right.

"I sense some power levels in that direction. They might prove to be a bit… fun." He said in an automatic tone. The black-haired teen nodded and trailed behind his companion. 'What do we do this for? I don't understand…' However, 18 sighed and flew after them. The three made it to the site in a flash. The town seemed uninhabited and lonely, but the three humanoids knew better after raiding numerous cities like this before.

"I'll start this time," 16 said as he flashed a toothy grin. He prepared a medium-sized ki blast and sent it spiraling down towards the place he felt the power levels.

Under the buildings and in the dungeons the androids were currently above, a group of people huddled together as a certain bald-headed monk warned them about the arrival of their might-be killers.

"Please everyone, stay calm!" Krillen shouted as the murmurs of the crowd started to rise, "Everything is going to be okay! And we'll make it through this if we st-" his words died on his tongue when a huge tremor shook the area the people were gathered in.

"They found us!"

"They're going to kill us!" Civilians panicked, ran, tried to hide, though most of them knew it was in vain. Krillen didn't want to watch these civilians die; he didn't want to see them perish. Thus, he decided to do something that most would regard as stupid and completely reckless. But if it was within his power to help these people, he sure would do it.

"Listen everyone!" he yelled capturing some of the people's attention, "I'm going to try to save you all. So, please listen!" he shouted again, this time effectively shutting everyone up, "I'm going to go up there, and I'm going to drive these insane things away from here."

"No! Krillen you can't! You'll just die like all of them!" A woman with blue hair hollered from between the people in the crowd, "Goku, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha and… Vegeta! Don't you remember, Krillen? Don't you remember what they did to our friends?" Bulma asked, her voice coming out small, which was unusual for her. Her vision was blurry as tears crept into her blue eyes, "Please Krillen, you can't do this to me… I don't want to lose my last surviving close friend…" Krillen smiled bravely, betraying the feelings he was having inside.

"Don't worry Bulma. You won't be alone. Trunks is here. And he's going to protect all of you. Won't you Trunks?" the lavender-haired boy walked towards his mother and smiled happily at his friend. Trunks nodded cheerfully.

"I'm gonna keep you safe, mom!" he said with a smile, "Krillen was teaching me how to use the sword since I could walk, I'm sure I can defend us!" Bulma smiled at her only son, his attitude and over-confidence slightly reminding her of his father, but she couldn't think of that now. She has to be strong and help these people go through this alive. She nodded at Krillen and wiped away her tears. Krillen, then, took his leave and prepared himself for his certain last fight ever.

"Okay everyone, follow me. We're going to take the other exit and Krillen is going to lead them to the other side of town until we're all out!" she said as she held her son's hand and led the group to the exit.

Above the ground, the androids were impatient. Usually, people would already be running all around the place, screaming in fear and terror. However, instead of the running humans they expected to see; only one came out of their hidden hole. As 17 and 16 were preparing their finishing blow, the short man ran away.

"I just love it when they run. It makes the chase more exciting!" 17 exclaimed as he pursued the monk like a predator would its prey, and 16 was none the wiser. 18 stayed where she was in the air. She knew this might be a trick to distract them from the real booty. Therefore, she decided to go in the opposite direction. She wasn't disappointed. People of all heights and sizes were scurrying like mice to another hiding place, and they were continuing their path, seemingly to the forest close to the town. 18 wa loss. She had two options now. First, she can call her brother and 16 to this place and watch the blood bath to follow. Second, she can turn around, leave this place and let the humans be… And so, an internal war began. Her larger programmed side told her to call them, but what was left of her humanity screamed at her to let the poor people be, and even try to help them.

She pursed her lips in determination and descended down to the people. Gasps of shock and fright accompanied her presence. She looked upon each of the unmoving creatures' faces and saw the same thing. Dread, horror and terror. All except one. He is a child, he had purple hair and his face was not contorting in fear. After all, she knew fear when she saw it. What she saw was courage and determination. She flew over to the little boy who was with his mother. She could sense the woman's fear, but she didn't see it, and the blue-haired woman didn't let it show. 18 smiled at the two, and left the site as if she hadn't seen a thing.

"Let's keep moving…" Bulma mumbled as she trudged on, her heart thumping wildly against her ribcage.

18 followed the sound of laughter and found her friends.

"Oh 18! Where were you? You should have seen the look on his face when we caught up with him! He was fast but not fast enough, huh 16?" the stoic android nodded while 18 blocked the rest of the one-sided conversation. If only they knew…
