Chapter 2: Group Up, and Move Out
Dr. Gero was once again at work on one of the many computers in his lab. He was working anxiously on a spreadsheet that showed many complex formulas. His creation, Android 11, was watching him work, admiring the humans knowledge. Even though androids are vastly superior to humans, number 11 was giving credit to the scientist that created him.
Dr. Gero then gave a satisfied smile, "Android 7 is ready for removal," he said out loud. Gero waited in releasing Androids 9 and 12 until 7 was functioning properly.
"Ready to meet your brothers?" asked Gero.
"Yes," replied the android.
Dr. Gero nodded towards the android, and walked over to a pod labeled "12." He used the same technique on the machine that housed Number 11. The pod started to move, steam rose from the door of the pod as it opened. Android 11 watched as its brother emerged from the pod.
The first thing that Android 11 noticed about the new being that stood before it, was the small stature of his brother. Android 12 did not look menacing at all, he was in fact, a small child, by the looks of things in his early teens. The boy had shaggy brown hair; the clothes he wore were torn and old. He then noticed that Number 12 bore the mark of the rid ribbon army on his shirt he wore, a small red ribbon with two "R's" imprinted on it.
Then a thought came to 11's head, "Why would the doctor make an android that resembled an adolescent, to deceive maybe?" He thought to himself.
"I am ready for my mission," buzzed the newly emerged android.
"Now lets not be hasty," replied Gero, "we should wait for the retrieval of your other two brothers, so you may complete the mission more efficiently.
"Screw efficiency," barked Number 12, "You WILL open the doors from your lab to the outside world old man."
Dr. Gero took a step back, shocked at what his creation had said, "Number 12, don't you forget that I am your creator, I made you, and I can just as easily destroy you"
"I'd like to see you try old man," replied 12 with an evil expression on its his face. He then proceeded to step back into a battle stance. In one quick instant he pushed off from the ground with his back foot, about to kill the annoyance that stood before him. And in the next instant he was snapped back and forced onto the ground.
"What the hell!" Shouted Number 12. He turned to look at what had prevented him from destroying the doctor. His brother, number 11, had a firm hold on the back of 12's shirt.
'You will not harm the doctor," it buzzed, staring into 12's eyes.
"Says who?" replied 12.
"You were created by him, why do you wish to harm him?" asked 11.
After quickly examining the larger android, 12 let out a humorous chuckle, "hehe, your naked.
If 11 were human, this comment would have embarrassed him, but he kept a firm hold on the small one, "It is to improve efficiency," He said.
"Pff, Screw that, I'm just glad I'm not showing off my birthday suit to the whole world."
"You WILL end your hostile actions against the doctor"
"Feh, fine, whatever"
Doctor Gero was watching this whole struggle from the back wall of his lab, when they were arguing he moved away, he knew he was no match for either of these androids. He just watched from a distance to see what events would unfold.
11 let go of the back of 12's shirt
"About time," said 12 "Oh, and even though I'm not going to hurt the doctor, This doesn't mean I'm not going to just sit here and cower like the doctor. Just then 12 faced the huge steel doors that separated the cave from the outside. And with an evil smirk on his face, he pointed the palm of his hand at the door. "Time to complete my mission don't you agree?" At that statement, he unleashed an energy beam from his hand, ripping the doors from the ground, and revealing the outside world. "And now I make my leave".
"Wait, please, you must wait for the activation of the others," pleaded Gero
"To hell with that," barked 12, "I do what I want, whenever I want,"
Then 12 pushed his ki downward, propelling him into the air, and he adjusted his ki to push him toward his target, the one he was programmed to kill. "Well, at least the doctor fixed my flight circuits, it was sure a pain to fly before". And to this statement, he put all of his energy into his propulsion, shooting him even faster towards his victim.
He didn't even look back towards his place of origin, he was totally bent on completing what he was programmed to do.
"I am sorry doctor," said 11.
"Don't worry about it, leave him to his own stupidity," replied Gero
"But what of the plan?"
"No matter, we must act quickly to remove numbers 7 and 9 before the time window runs out."
The doctor then proceeded to activate numbers 7 and 9, who were still incased in their pods. He reached for the pod labeled "Number 7", and pulled the lever that kept the android sealed in its tomb.
"What is this window you mention?" asked 11
"The doctor looked at it and quickly answered, "That is none of your concern, you follow the programming and all will be fine."
"The android just stared for a while, trying to find any mention of some "time window" in his databanks. He stopped, after seeing an unfamiliar body.
"Ahh, you are awake," said Gero.
The form that stood before Gero was nothing 11 had seen before, this android did not look like a human, even though he was in the humanoid shape, he was…a robot.
Its arms and legs had a very small diameter, only about the size of a small forearm, the body was almost rectangular, and the head was a cylinder that had a single, red orb that was almost the size of a quarter. It scanned its surroundings, but its body faced Gero.
"MY MISSION PARAMATERS SUGGEST THAT IMMEDIATE ACTION MUST BE TAKEN FOR THE COMPLETION OF THIS MISSION." Buzzed number 7
"Well, we must wait just a little longer, to get number 9 up and running. We need to hurry this along because number 12 ran off rather haphazardly." Said Gero. "The mission will be in jeopardy if we dawdle any longer."
"Agreed," responded 11.
Dr. Gero did the same thing he did to open the previous housing pods, and the last android emerged from its casing pod. Gero and 11 looked at the newly emerged android, which quickly got out of his housing pod, looking at it in annoyance. He then looked around the room, focusing on the doors that 12 destroyed.
Android 9 was taller than the other androids and Dr. Gero; he was about 6 foot 5. He was bald, but had a small black beard. He wore a white button up polo shirt, tucked into a pair of dark blue jeans. Instead of the "Polo" label, a small red ribbon with two "R's" imprinted on the shirt.
"Ugh," Number 9 sighed, "did Number 12 have a tantrum again?"
"Yes, and we must hurry up with our mission, we wont be able to complete it if we wait any longer, replied Gero."
7 and 9 then approached the opening that used to be sealed by a door and took off from the ground. Gero watched as they both left to fulfill their mission, but curiously looked at number 11, who was still standing.
"You still haven't told me what those words meant," said 11, almost answering Gero's curious look.
"I already told you," replied Gero "it is none of your concern at this point in time, the answer will come soon"
11 just stood there for a moment, trying to understand what the doctor had said to him a little while back. "You are not expecting us to survive, are you?" asked the android. "You are only using us for our worth, then you will dispose of us if we survive, am I correct?"
The doctor was caught, but tried to cover up the evil plan he had for the androids, "Nonsense, the time window is just the…" Gero tried to think of what to say. "The time window is the most logical time that your mission can be successful, if we don't coordinate our attacks, your targets could have help from their friends, but with everyone distracted, we can easily destroy them all."
Even though the android knew the true meaning behind this false plan, he decided that he would just go along with what was placed into his programming. "Very well, I will commence the attack on my specified target at once." At this, 11 flew off into the air, heading towards his designated target. He kept replaying the conversation he just had with the doctor, and trying to understand the meaning off all of this. "It is more than just our mission," He thought to himself, "There must be a bigger plan"
Dr. Gero kept watching number 11 until he was out of sight, "Damn that android" he thought to himself, "he defiantly knows something is up, even if he doesn't know the true plan. "But it doesn't matter, whether he lives or dies is none of my concern." Dr. Gero then looked back into his lab, staring at a dark corner of the cave. Another capsulation pod was sitting there, an unopened one. An evil smile crept across the doctors' face, "Once you are complete and activated, no one on this planet will survive, the Red Ribbon Army's quest for world domination will me complete!" Gero looked out into the sky once again, "And you, Son Goku, will have your body shredded in front of the world for the crimes against us."
