As I said being sick there's not much to do so here is a quick update as I promised :)
„Stealing that fool's energy was actually worth it. Too bad we can't track #18. But I'm sure she will be around these Z-fighters. Let's go destroy some cities to get their attention"
"Whatever...", Android 21 muttered and with that they took of toward the next city.
Number 18 finally reached the Western-Capital. She touched down at a lonely beach for a minute to take a moment to mourn for her husband before seeking for Goku's help.
She sat down on a cold wet rock, her baby in her lap. The infant was still weeping bitterly, she knew exactly what had just happened and she felt her mother's pain.
18 winced as she allowed herself to shed some tears. Her husband was dead, killed by the hands of her creator's machines. No matter what she did she just couldn't seem to escape the mad scientist's terror.
First he kidnapped her brother and her and made them into Cyborgs. Then came the whole Cell thing and now, years later when everything seemed to be over these two came and killed her husband, the father of her child. She wiped away her tears and stood up. She knew she couldn't defeat them, she needed help. Goku and Vegeta were her only chance to bring Krillin back so she shook of the dust an headed in the direction Capsule Corp. was located.
….
Meanwhile the group of four had already arrived at West-City's amusement park.
When Tama was sitting on bench and Mirai-Trunks and Goten were still standing in the line for the restroom Chibi-Trunks sniffed his chance to have a serious talk with her. He climbed into her lap and peered up at her with baby-blue puppy-eyes.
"Hey honey what is it?", the young woman asked and ruffled his lavender hair.
"You know.. I was just wondering when the two of you are finally getting married?", he spoke innocently.
The teenager chuckled "Don't you think I'm a little young for that?"
"Maybe but Gohan and Videl always spend time together so maybe the first step is the two of you moving in together, you can both stay at my house we got plenty of room. And if Mirai-Trunks wants the same room as in his timeline you can have it I'm totally ok with sleeping in one of the guest rooms", the little boy suggested and connected his thumb and index finger in a circle to signalize her that it wouldn't be a problem for him.
"That's really sweet of but I recall we already had this conversation, didn't we honey? And your goals are not completely altruistic aren't they? You want Trunks to stay in your time-line right?
Chibi-Trunks let out a heavy sigh. "Maybe" , he muttered.
"Hey guys whatcha talking about?", Goten asked when he and Mirai-Trunks came back.
"None of your business Goten", Chibi-Trunks answered and jumped to his feet "Let's try out the roller-coaster, if you dare."
….
The Sons were currently out for a walk and her parents were at a banquet one of their business-partners hosted. That meant Bulma and Vegeta finally had the house to themselves and that didn't happen often since Trunks the little troublemaker was born so Bulma was planning something special. The light was dimmed and she had set up candles in the whole room. She lay down on the bed in her most coquettish lingerie waiting for her husband to get out of the shower and surprise him.
Then the doorbell rang.
"Woman! Door!", Vegeta barked from the shower.
With that the atmosphere was ruined. Bulma sighed and put on her silk-bathrobe to head downstairs and get rid off whoever was interrupting her special moment. When she opened the door she found Android 18 standing there with her baby in her arms, her normally dead blue eyes red from crying.
"18, what's wrong, did you forget something?", the scientist asked with a soft voice.
"It's Krillin... he died"
Bulma's eyes widened from the shock
"Dr. Gero's back-up Androids were activated they came for me but he sacrificed himself so I could save Marron", the blonde went on. "I need to see Goku and Vegeta"
Vegeta walked up behind Bulma with only a towel wrapped around his hips "What's going on here? Who's interrupting?", he demanded.
"It's 18, she said new Androids showed up and that they killed Krillin." Bulma informed him.
"Androids huh? Let me take care of them" Vegeta smirked.
"You don't understand, they are far more powerful, we need a good plan!" 18 shouted.
"I already beat the shit put of this tin-can the last time, I'm the prince of all Saiyans!", Vegeta yelled and powered up. Bulma grabbed his shoulder
"Well Mr. prince of two and three half Saiyans maybe you want to get dressed first!", she ordered.
Vegeta shot her an evil glare and marched off towards their bedroom.
"Come in 18, I guess Goku will be back in about an hour", she ushered the blonde inside.
…..
Chibi, Mirai-Trunks, Goten and Tama had just finished another ride on the roller coaster when Chibi-Trunks' cell phone rang. "Trunks Briefs speaking", he answered politely. "Oh hey mom", then he turned to Mirai-Trunks. "It's for you", he said and handed his future counterpart the phone.
"What's up mom?" , Mirai-Trunks asked. As he heard what the scientist told him his face hardened. Chibi-Trunks just shrugged it off and took another bite from the Cotton-candy Tama had bought them.
"Yes mom we'll be right there", Mirai-Trunks said, as he hung up they could hear a loud noise approaching them and people were running away.
A black helicopter that had "Sage Incorporated" written on it in white letters was about to land next to them. The Chibis held their arms infront of their faces protectively to prevent the dust that was swirled up by the rotor blades from getting into their eyes.
As the helicopter landed five men in black suites and sunglasses got out of it.
One of the men stepped forward and spoke up to Tama "Miss Sage your father sent us to take you back to the Central-Capital this area has been under attack it's too dangerous"
"Cool", Chibi-Trunks muttered.
"What are you talking about this is ridiculous?" , the young woman inquired.
"If you don't come with us we have to force you".
"My mother just called me, they are right there are new Androids around here that attack cities, they have already killed a friend of mine. My friends and I are going to fight them", Mirai-Trunks said.
"Fight them? Are you insane? If they are really that powerful let Mr. Satan handle it!", the now dark haired women spoke loudly. Mirai-Trunks just smiled and put his arm around her
"We are far more powerful than you think. Please go with them it's not save around here", he demanded.
"If you say so ok", she answered and kissed him good-bye. Then the young heiress was surrounded by her bodyguards and escorted to the helicopter. With a loud noise the machine took off towards Central-City. Mirai-Trunks clenched his fists. "Those darn Androids"
"Androids?", both Chibis asked in unison and peered up at the teenager.
"Nothing we can't take care of", he answered and patted their heads. "Let's go home we nee to come up with a battle plan."
….
Meanwhile the Androids landed in the wastelands where they had detected their next targets: Tien and Chaotzu.
"We don't need 18 I'll just gather enough energy by systematically destroying the Z-fighters and then we'll take Goku and Vegeta down", Number 22 informed her comrade.
"Don't you think it's a little stupid to dedicate our whole time to getting this old fool's revenge Number 22 ?", Android 21 asked with a bored voice.
"I never say or do stupid things I'm a machine, Dr. Gero's best creation designed to kill the Z-fighters, and if you malfunction and don't obey I have to destroy you Number 21", she replied with her electronic voice".
"You can try my data says I'm stronger than you, besides I have an unlimited supply of energy" 21 smirked.
The other Android glared at her and clenched her fists. "Let's don't be inefficient by wasting time with this argument. Fighter with great power located". She replied and scanned the area for Tien. The radar that was implanted in her eye was processing data and notified her of something approaching her from behind. She turned around to see a ki-blast flying towards her and dodged it.
There stood Tien who had formed a diamond shape with his fingers to fire his signature attack at the Androids.
"I saw you destroying the village who are you?", the bald warrior demanded to know.
Next to him hovered Chaotzu "Tien I don't sense any energy from them do you think what I think?
"You're Tien and Chaotzu my data tells me you're pretty strong for humans but no match for us"
"Androids", Tien muttered.
"I will take your energy! Number 21 you take care of the smaller one".
"Sure", 21 smirked.
As Chaotzu looked in the woman's dead eyes he could already feel fear creeping up inside of him, but he couldn't let his best friend alone with this.
Tien charged towards 22. After dodging all of his punches she kneeled him in the guts and landed a punch in his face with her fist. Tien flew backwards but flipped mid-air and fired a volley of energyballs at his opponent.
22 just smirked and brought both of her hands infront of her to absorb all the energy.
"Tien I know all your techniques!".
"What about you little clown? Come at me you can have the first strike!", 21 teased the small emperor who was still hesitating to fight her. Chaotzu let out a scream and charged towards her. 21 dodged everything but didn't try to land any punches herself, she was just playing with him.
Tien realized that with his usual techniques he couldn't even touch the Android. So he tried to forget everything he knew about martial arts and blindly threw punches at her. And it seemed to work he landed one causing the Android to fall over. As he approached her she grabbed both of his arms incredible fast and started to absorb his energy.
When the last bit of Tien's life energy was drained out of him she shot laser beam from her eyes into his face and let go of him.
"Tien!", Chaotzu exclaimed, but 21 dragged him back. "You're fighting me!".
"Number 21 hurry up!", 22 demanded.
Android 22 was a pure machine who just wanted to get done with her plans but 21 wanted fun. She didn't care about Gero she just wanted a good battle against opponents who could challenge her. And she knew Saiyans were best when they got mad or enraged and killing their friends would definitely enrage them . So she decided to have mercy on Chaotic so he could runt to his friends and tell them how brutally they killed Tien. She grabbed him by his collar and whispered "Now blast off and tell your friends we are coming for them", and with that she threw him as far away as she could.
