Cassius & Android 18

Future Trunks warned the Z Fighters about two androids three years ago, but these two were proved to be four, now the Z Fighters along with Trunks and Cassius, at the age of seventeen, have found Doctor Gero's secret laboratory.

Tien, Yamcha, and Piccolo had gathered around Krillin.

"That's Dr. Gero's lab," Krillin said, "I just saw him go in."

"Damn," Piccolo growled, "either way, we need to get in there and destroy those androids before he activates them!" The rest of the present Z Fighters agreed, and they went to the massive door in front of the lab.

Meanwhile, in the lab, Dr. Gero had already activated the androids, numbers 17 and 18 respectively, and the androids plotted to take his emergency shutoff device.

The Z Fighters outside were pounding against the door with everything they had when Vegeta showed up. "You're all weaklings! Let me show you how it's done!" He aimed an energy wave at the door. "FATHER! NO!" Trunks cried as his father blasted away the door. In the confusion, Android 17 took Dr. Gero's emergency shutoff button.

"Android 17!" the doctor shouted, "Give that back right now! Do you think this is some kind of game? Because it's not funny!" Android 17 smirked as he crushed the device and summarily took off the doctor's head with a swift kick. "But… but I am your master! Your creator! I was supposed to lead you in defeating Goku, ME!"

"There's been a change of plans, doctor, we go on our own now…" 17 said before crushing Dr. Gero's head under his foot as the Z Fighters stood in shock.

Cassius flew into the cave, his hair gently blowing in the breeze, but he was behind the others, so unless someone was looking for him, he would likely go unseen. He quietly walked up behind his comrades, leaning against the cave wall.

Unlike Cassius thought, his entrance hadn't gone unnoticed, Android 17 had seen him, "You," he said, pointing between the Z Fighters as they parted, "come here," he smirked. Cassius calmly made his way over and stood before the Androids, whom he was eye-level with. Android 17 smiled as he looked the Earthling warrior up and down, "My, my, 18. Look at this one, fighter and eater in one being it seems…" Android 18 smiled as she walked over to Cassius,

"We should keep him," she said, "it's been a long time since I've kept a pet. Maybe I can go shopping with him!"

"Fiiinnne," 17 said, "we can keep him." Cassius knew that he was terribly outclassed, so he didn't make a move to attack or escape.

"Hear that, human?" Android 18 said, smiling, as she poked Cassius' nose gently, "you're my pet now." Android 18 went over to open 16's pod when Vegeta decided that enough was enough and blew the mountain apart. When the smoke cleared, Androids 17 and 18, Cassius, and 16's pod were all intact.

"Better open the pod," 17 said, "he's off the support now so he'll need it to stay alive…" 17 put down the pod and 18 opened it. Much to even Cassius' shock, the big brute known as Android 16 got up out of the pod. The Androids all gave each other a look, and when that was done Android 18 turned to Cassius and said, "Come on, pet, we're leaving," she said with a smile.

"Yes, Lady 18," Cassius said, and with that Android 18 squealed with delight,

"Oooh! We got a polite little pet!" she said to 17 before turning back to Cassius, "Let me carry you, pet." She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, taking off.

"Yes, Lady 18."

Oh, my! What kind of trouble has Cassius gotten himself into? What will the Androids do with him? How will this change the course of the future sagas?

There's only one way to find out…
