Night had fallen over the desolate city. It hadn't always been like that though. At one time it had been thriving with life, people making their way to and from work or enjoying time with their families.

That had all changed within an hour.

Now it was nothing but ruined buildings, cracked forming all over their concrete surfaces. Dark clouds hovered in the sky, making an already dark night much darker.

Vegeta wouldn't have it any other way.

Arriving in his brand new saiyan armor, one that replaced the standard shoulder guards with metal-linked straps, he was ready for combat. The only thing he need was for those monsters to show themselves.

Apparently, the two people he was looking for didn't have any sort of ki source, something he found troubling, but that wouldn't stop him. He was far too powerful for such a trick to psych him out.

All over the city, clouds of black smoke rose from brightly lit areas. Fires must've been the source, not that that wasn't obvious. Telling from how dim the lights were, the fires were slowly dying, most likely running out of material to consume.

And that was when a tremor shook the area and a loud explosion occurred. Whipping his head to a side, the Saiyan Prince saw a new smoke cloud rising into the sky.

Perfect.

Moments later, he was touching down on the ground, looking at two people who stood with their backs to him. They seemed to be captivated by the sight of the dancing flames before them, something that caused Vegeta to smirk. Only amateurs admired their own work after a kill.

"So you're the 'scary monsters' I've been hearing about," the Saiyan Prince called out, finally obtaining the attention of his soon-to-be opponents. "You don't look like much."

As the two monsters looked at him, Vegeta took in their appearances. The young man with shoulder-length black hair from Bulma's description stared with piercing blue eyes, almost as if studying the prince. His wardrobe reflected his age as well; blue jeans, a black short sleeve shirt with a white long sleeve under it, and an orange neckerchief.

The blonde woman looked just like the young man. One could even call her his sibling or even twin. A black shirt with pinstriped sleeves covered her torso, along with a blue jean jacket. A skirt of the same material as the jacket covered her bottom half along with black leggings.

A couple moments passed before recognition appeared in both of their eyes simultaneously. "So you're the one called Vegeta, are you not?" the young man asked.

Vegeta's smirk grew. "That would be me. I see you've heard of me."

"Indeed. You're the one Son Goku defeated years ago."

That caused Vegeta to lose his smirk. "Listen to me, you brat; I am the Prince of all Saiyans; the strongest Saiyan in the universe! For your insult, I will break you in two!"

"Unlikely," the blonde woman spoke. "You're strength doesn't compare to the strength of an android."

"An android? Is that what you two are?" Vegeta questioned.

"Correct," the young man answered. "We are two cybernetic androids created by Dr. Gero with the solo purpose of killing Son Goku. You wouldn't happen to know where he is, do you? We had thought killing a bunch of people would flush him out but so far our efforts have proven fruitless."

"Kakarot is no more," the proud saiyan replied spitefully. "And you are focusing on the wrong Saiyan, for I, Vegeta, am stronger than Kakarot could ever have hoped to become!"

"Then let's see what you've got, Prince," the android mocked. Turning his head, he looked at his counterpart and nodded. "Ready Eighteen?"

"When ever you are, Seventeen," she replied.

Suddenly, Vegeta burst out with laughter. "Ready? You two will never be ready for me. You're fighting a losing battle once I've become a Super Saiyan."

"A Super Saiyan?" Seventeen asked with mild curiosity. "What's that? Care to show us?"

"Gladly."

Balling his fists, Vegeta began gathering his ki. Slowly, a golden aura began to form around him until it was roaring around his body. A mighty wind raged throughout the area, though the Androids looked unaffected by it. With a mighty yell, the aura stabilized around the saiyan as his hair became golden and his eyes teal.

The Super Saiyan had arrived.

"Now…" the golden Vegeta said, smirking. "Come at me."

Neither Android spoke a word. Almost as if they were following a silent cue, they both charged at the saiyan, aiming to tag team him.

Taking the first strike, Seventeen swung a kick at Vegeta's head. Reacting, the Saiyan merely tilted his head back, watching the kick flying by his head harmlessly. Out of the corner of his eye though, he saw Eighteen coming in to land a punch. This time, Vegeta raised his left arm, blocking the blow with his forearm.

Not wasting time, Vegeta straightened out his blocking arm, pressing it up against Eighteen's arm. Grabbing her by her bicep, he then swung her to the opposite side of his body, slamming her into her comrade, the two of flying away.

Gathering his ki into his other arm, Vegeta then thrust his right arm out, the fingers stiffened together with the thumb curled into the palm. With a yell, he fired a golden ki blast, the beam racing towards his opponents.

And just as he planned, the blast exploded upon the Androids, sending flames all over the place. With the way the fight had gone, Vegeta wouldn't have been surprised if they both had been annihilated with that attack. His strength was just too much for even a test run!

However, any more thoughts of victory disappeared as the twin Androids emerged from the flames, looking no worse for wear. Without a word, they both raised their hands and gathered their energy, Seventeen's being a blue color while Eighteen's took on a light red, almost pink. Simultaneously, they fired their blasts.

Reacting, Vegeta flared his aura and launched himself into the air, the energy blasts exploding below him.

As he flew higher into the air, the prince suddenly felt a presence behind him. Turning his head, he caught sight of Eighteen as she flew behind him, keeping pace with his speed as her arms crossed over her chest.

"Hi."

Rage filling him, Vegeta swung his body around and raised a fist, ready to attack the android. He never got the chance to throw the punch, however, as Seventeen appeared behind him, his hands clasped together. With a swing, he jackhammered the Saiyan, sending him flying on a diagonal path towards the ground.

Recovering, Vegeta flipped in midair, allowing himself to land on his feet, the ground crack around his boots. Looking up, he caught sight of Eighteen closing in on him, coming much too fast for him to launch a counterattack.

Immediately, Vegeta began blocking as the female android threw a rapid succession of punches. He was surprised with the power and speed behind each blow, a feeling the Saiyan Prince did not like at all. Fortunately, he had been able to block each strike successfully.

That was when he caught Seventeen charging at him from the corner of his eye. Reacting, the Saiyan ducked Eighteen's next punch, the fist flying over his head. Quickly, Vegeta shot out a leg towards Seventeen, catching him off guard as the foot nailed him in the gut, causing him to bend over the appendage.

Pushing off the ground with his other foot, Vegeta tried to put some distance between him and his foes. Unfortunately, Eighteen gave chase immediately, holding one arm out as she fired an energy blast at him.

Crossing an arm in front of his chest, Vegeta swung it out, slapping the beam away. The next thing he knew, the Android used a burst of speed to close the gap between them, ramming her head with his own and sending him flying away.

Somehow, the saiyan warrior managed to get his feet back on the ground, even as he skidded a few more feet. On his forehead, a large bruise was forming from where his and Eighteen's heads had collided. Fury was welling up within the fighter and he wanted nothing more than to send those junkyard rejects back to the scrapheap. Just watching as Seventeen finished recovering from his blow and move to stand behind his comrade enraged him.

"Alright you cheap pieces of trash! I'm gonna finish this once and for all!" Vegeta roared before he raced towards his opponents. Using a sudden burst of speed, the Saiyan Prince disappeared from sight, reappearing in midair right by Eighteen with both hands clasped together. Quickly, he swung a jackhammer blow at the young woman, nailing her in the side of the head and sending her flying right by the other android.

Touching down on the ground momentarily, Vegeta launched himself again, this time at Seventeen. With a swing of his fist, he threw a punch at the young man, only for him to dodge to a side.

However, Vegeta had expected that reaction. Bending one of his legs, he swung it up, imbedding his knee into the dark haired man, causing him to bend over it and lose his breath.

Taking advantaged of his opponent's momentary immobility, Vegeta gathered his ki as he leapt backwards. Thrusting both of his arms in front of him, he unleashed a blast of wind that sent Seventeen flying away, crashing to the ground close to the recovering Eighteen.

Not hesitating, Vegeta straightened out his posture, standing tall as he turned his body to a side. Keeping his head facing the Androids, he rose his hand closest to them and stiffened his fingers, the thumb curling into his palm. Throughout this action, he gathered as much of his ki and forced it to his palm.

"Say hello to Kakarot for me when you enter Hell!" the Saiyan Prince shouted. "Big Bang Attack!"

Immediately, a decent sized ki ball fired from his palm, racing towards the Androids as they paused to watch the incoming attack in astonishment until the ki ball collided with the ground between them. A large explosion consumed the two in flames.

Watching the explosions, a large smirk appeared on the Saiyan's face. Though those two machines had given him a little trouble, it was all for naught. There was nothing left of them after that strike.

Slowly, the flames died out into smoke, which eventually dissipated to reveal the extent of damage done by the Big Bang. What was once devastated city buildings and cracked street pavement was now a dirt plain with wafts of smoke drifting into the sky. Anything that had been caught in the blast had been obliterated.

All except the standing forms of Seventeen and Eighteen, undamaged from the previous attack.

"What?" Vegeta gasped, swearing that his eyes were deceiving him. There was no way those androids couldn've survived!

"I think our friend here is surprised to see us," Seventeen commented as if he were talking about the weather. "How about we go reintroduce ourselves?"

"I'll take that pleasure," Eighteen replied before walking towards the speechless Saiyan. An instant later, the young blonde was right in front of Vegeta, slamming a fist into his face that swung him around, his unguarded back facing her.

Gracefully, the Android reached out and grabbed one of her opponent's arms. Keeping a firm grip, she then spun herself around, dragging the saiyan with her before she released her hold, throwing her foe into a still standing building, one that he crashed into and broke right through the wall.

A few seconds passed before an enrage war cry was heard, followed by a cloud of smoke rushing out from the roof, Vegeta exploding from it as he flew high into the air.

Coming to a stop, Vegeta held both of his hands out in front of himself as he gathered his ki, a golden ball of energy forming in front of his palms. "Eat this!" he shouted as he fired a large ki blast.

In response, Eighteen held her ground as she watched the incoming beam closing in on her. Casually, she raised her left arm and caught the attack as he rammed into her hand. She stood, almost bored, as she held the blast easily.

Another gasp left the Saiyan Prince's lips as he witnessed this action. However, any other thoughts he had on it were interrupted as a foot slammed into his face, cutting off his ki blast as he drifted a few feet away. Recovering, he quickly saw Seventeen floating in air with one of his legs extended, the other bent at the knee, and a confident smirk on his face.

Letting out another war cry, Vegeta lunged at his opponent, only to have Seventeen counterattack, nailing him in the face with his knee. As spit and blood flew from his royal mouth, Seventeen quickly threw a devastating punch that sent the prince flying back down towards the building. A second later, his falling body created another hole in the roof and another one on the back side of the building as he impacted the ground and skidded a few yards.

Slowly, Vegeta picked himself up, pressing his hands on the ground to lift his torso up, his knees resting on the ground.

However, he wasn't quite alone. Standing a few yards away were Seventeen and Eighteen, both of them looking down at him with amusement. "Well, this has been fun," the young man commented.

"I suppose it was better than destroying buildings," his blonde counterpart relented.

Once again, anger filled the Saiyan Prince's mind. "I'll show you fun!" he roared as he pushed off the ground, charging at Eighteen. As he threw a punch at her, she merely side stepped his lunge. Bringing up her arm and bending it, she slammed her elbow into the back of Vegeta's head, causing him to let out a cry of pain as he fell back down onto the ground. Soon after, his golden aura disappeared, revealing his original black locks.

"Hmm…that's strange," Seventeen said. "His hair changed back. What do you suppose that means?"

"Not much," Eighteen replied. "I doubt it's anything important."

"That just leaves one thing left to do."

Eighteen gave a small smile. "Finish him."

Both androids raised one arm, extending their index and middle fingers, gathering their energy as their respective colored energy formed in their at their fingertips. A moment later, two small beams were fired, piercing Vegeta's body as they tore into his back and exited out his chest.


"What happened…" Gohan spoke in awe.

Floating in midair, the young Son boy looked at the scene of a great battle. Broken buildings littered the area with one large empty plain in the middle of it. Hovering nearby were Krillen and Piccolo, each one soaking in the same scene.

"Do…do you think Vegeta was involved with this?" Krillen asked a moment later, still stunned from what he saw.

"All three of us felt him fighting something," Piccolo answered, ridding himself of his previous shocked expression for his usual stoic one. Each of them had felt the Saiyan Prince's ki at an incredible high and came to investigate, running into each other as they neared the city. A little while later, they felt the Saiyan's ki disappear, causing alarm between them. "He should be nearby. We'll split up and search the area."

Neither Gohan or Krillen replied, accepting the plan of action as they descended towards the ruined ground of the city.

The amount of damage to the city was enormous, not to mention worse close up. From the area Gohan searched, he couldn't help but shudder every once in awhile. Who would want to do such destructive things?

Eventually, he came to a building that was more damaged than any of the others. Taking in its distance from the empty dirt plain, the fight had gone in this direction. Floating up into one of the holes, the young boy explored the desolate structure. It didn't take him long to find another hole that left the opposite side of the building. Using it as an exit, his eyes widen upon what he saw.

Lying in a small puddle of blood was Vegeta.

Moving quickly, Gohan ran to the Saiyan Prince's unmoving form, kneeling down next to it as he assessed the damage though it proved futile. Vegeta was dead with two holes in his body that were still leaking blood.

"Hey Gohan, did you find some—" Krillen's voice said from behind him, stopping when the monk saw the boy's discovery. "Oh Kami."

It wasn't long after that that Piccolo arrived and saw the scene. The Namek didn't say a word until Gohan said "He's dead."

Looking at the wounds of the fallen warrior, Piccolo murmured "What could've done this?"

No one answered him.
