Gohan (who has now reverted to base), Piccolo (who has got healed) and the rest of the gang are standing in
front of Gero's lab. They can hear voices from inside. This is a bad sign, since it means Gero has probably
released the other two Androids already.
Tenshinhan and Yamcha are trying to break the door, but it won't budge! It sounds surprising at first that
warriors who can potentially bench press a planet cannot break a single door. But, hey, we're talking about Dr.
Gero's genius. If he can create robots stronger than Freeza, who used to be the strongest creature in the
universe, he can possibly make a really resistant door.
Get out of the way Piccolo yells, extending his arm. He fires a blast that annihilates the door. The gang sees
two teenagers, a boy and a girl. Can those two really be the deadly Androids who ruined the future?
Look sis, the clowns Gero talked us about are here.
Where is Gero? Tien asks.
The androids look at each other and laugh. Then, they show some metal chips on the floor.
You killed him? Kuririn yells, wondering what kind of monsters would kill their own creator.
Gohan feels furious. It's not the first time he sees a villain killing his comrade when he no longer needs him.
That Vegeta creep had done the same to Nappa. But Gero was not just an ally to the Androids. He was the
one they owned their power to. Their ingratitude disgusts the boy.
That old coot always wanted us to take orders Eighteen explains. When he saw we were fed up with his
demands, he made a remote control to deactivate us whenever he wanted to. But, just a few moments ago, we
destroyed it and then got rid of him.
Enraged by the cool expression Eighteen had while she was explaining how they killed their creator, Gohan
becomes a Super Saiyan once more. Eighteen gets annoyed to see that.
Hey, Seventeen, this brat became blonde like me. I hate being cop...
At that moment, Eighteen realizes her brother isn't paying attention.
SEVENTEEN she yells. I have told you i hate it when you ignore me.
Seventeen has noticed another coffin. It's label says Sixteen.
Look at that, sis he says.
Let's activate it Eighteen recommends.
Everyone else is shocked. Another android that didn't appear in 's future? History has changed more
than expected.
I've had enough a furious Gohan yells. I won't let you activate it. I will destroy all of you, now.
He fires a blast, making his comrades jump in the air instinctively. When the smokes are cleared, the two
Androids are still there, Eighteen holding the coffin up, with her one hand. She puts it down and kicks it open.
Sixteen comes out.
So, you're another Gero's creation? How come we never saw you? Seventeen asks.
Sixteen ignores him.
Ahh, the strong silent type Seventeen comments. Anyway, we're gonna kill Goku. Wanna join?
Don't tell me you want to obey that old coot's orders Eighteen protests.
Of course not Seventeen corrects her. But, like all living things, us androids need some purpose in life too.
I'll come Sixteen finally talks. I was created for the sole purpose of killing Son Goku.
The three androids take off. The humans shriek.
Since you're here, can you tell us where Goku is? Eighteen asks.
No, don't ask them Seventeen interfreres. We'll find him ourselves. It'll be more fun.
Sorry to disappoint you, but Goku left the Earth long ago Piccolo says. His current wherabouts are
unknown.
Oh, that's annoying Seventeen complains. That means you're now our only choices for fun.
Piccolo smiles and shows Gohan.
Heh, if you want a challenge, i assure you this boy, who's Goku's son, is leagues stronger than his father.
I'll pulverize all of you the still enraged Gohan says.
Okay, let's go somewhere to fight Seventeen decides.
They all fly away and land to a rocky landscape.
So, which of us will take care of the blonde punk? Seventeen wonders.
Not me Sixteen replies. I was built just to kill Son Goku.
Let me do it, Seventeen Eighteen asks. I want to teach him a lesson so badly.
Seventeen shrugs.
Gohan and Eighteen are about to fight.
Heh, you're so annoying with that determined look on your face Eighteen comments. I'd like to see if you'll
have the same look in a few years, when your mummy takes you to a prostitute to initiate you...
Gohan yells and charges to the female android. Caught off guard by Gohan's speed, Eighteen receives a punch
that launches her away. Gohan keeps charging to the launching foe. Eighteen stops herself, touching the ground
with her arms, and, when the Saiyan comes close, she delivers a kick, sending him high in the air. She stands up
and fires a destructo disc. Gohan moves aside to avoid it, just in time, but it cuts off his long hair. This turns out to
be a bonus, since Gohan now realizes he can move more freely as a Super Saiyan. Gohan attacks her with a
dive from the air. Eighteen braces herself. The last moment before reaching her, the kid fires a bluff beam that
creates dust, altering Eighteen's vision. Gohan takes the chance and delivers a full power kick that sends his
foe crashing on a mountain. Moments later, he's shocked to see Eighteen emerging and realize his hit didn't
shake her at all.
Wow, these things are stronger than the robots i fought before. I think i need to reevaluate the situation he
thinks.
Do you want to surrender boy? Eighteen asks, noticing his shocked expression.
Not in a million years Gohan yells.
That's the spirit a smiling Eighteen says. She charges herself to Gohan, who blocks her kick with his arm. He
punches her on the guts and realizes in shock she hasn't fazed. At this point, the, unusually educated for his
age, boy realizes that, because they're robots, they don't feel pain. The fraction of a second it takes him to make
this thought is enough for his foe to hit him with a swipe, sending him to her side to crawl on the ground. The
maid turns towards him, ready to attack again. Without getting up, Gohan extends his arm and fires a blast,
launching his foe away. He gets up and charges towards her. The fallen android fires a blast. Still flying, Gohan
deflects it with his arm and keeps coming. Eighteen leaps backwards, right before Gohan manages to hit her,
and stands back on her feet. The next moment, though, she's forced to take a defensive stance to block the
barrage of blows Gohan is giving. Eighteen is now stepping back, while barely blocking Gohan's assault.
Yes, he's doing it. He's pushing her back Yamcha yells in excitement.
Piccolo looks troubled.
Well, judging from the fight, i'd say Gohan is a little stronger than her. But...
BUT? Kuririn asks in agony.
But the robot seems to have infinite stamina. Gohan, on the other hand, is losing power with each move the
Namek answers.
The humans gulp.
Meanwhile, Eighteen is leaping here and there, dodging the storm of blasts the flying Gohan is firing while
chasing her. Suddenly, the panting boy stops.
Hey, wait a minute, i know what she's doing he thinks. She's trying to make me lose as much stamina as
possible, exploiting the fact that, as a robot, she never gets tired. I can't believe it took me so long to figure out.
How could i fall for th...
Eighteen appears floating above him. With both of her hands, she hits the boy's back, sending him to the
ground. Coughing, Gohan stands on his four limbs. Eighteen appears standing in front of him.
Heh. Running out of steam, boy?
In a desperate attempt to catch her off guard, Gohan suddenly jumps up and goes for a punch. Eighteen
catches his arm.
Uh-oh, naughty little boy.
She's now holding Gohan off the ground from the arm, like a ragdoll. She starts punching his guts, making him
scream in pain. Gohan is knocked off the SSJ state.
Suddenly, Piccolo's scream is heard.
SPECIAL BEAM CANNON
With lightning fast speed, Seventeen moves and intercepts Piccolo's attack, using his elbow to deflect it.
Piccolo is now with his mouth open, perhaps some drool coming out too. That was his ultimate attack, a blast so
powerful that its weakness is the time needed for it to be charged. That's why he tried it when the two robots'
attention was at Gohan. Yet, that creature that looks like a regular teenager blocked it using just his elbow!
Piccolo is watching the drilling blast getting lost into outer space, thinking he wouldn't want to be where it will
finally hit. On the other hand, he wouldn't want to be where he's right now either.
Seventeen teleports right in front of the terrorized Namek.
Nice shot, slug. Want a reward?
Without waiting for an answer, he punches Piccolo's guts, knocking him unconscious. Meanwhile, Eighteen has
also rendered Gohan unconscious with the repeated punches on the guts. She lets him fall down. Both Androids
are now walking towards Kuririn and Yamcha, who are paralyzed. Piccolo, who is many times stronger than them,
went down with one hit. Gohan, the Legendary Super Saiyan, the supposed ultimate fighting machine, has also
lost. What chances do they have? How could an old madman, lost in the mountains for years create something
like that? Something that surpasses the long dead galactic tyrant, even the golden warrior of an ancient alien
prophecy? They're just standing there expecting their fate.
Seventeen, Eighteen, that's enough, end it here a voice is heard. It's Sixteen.
Oh, come on, there are still two toys for us Seventeen protests.
Can't you see them? Sixteen asks. They're already defeated. Just let them go.
Seventeen sighs.
You're such a baby, Sixteen.
Eighteen notices her clothes.
Let's go shopping. I need a new outfit. A good looking lady like me mustn't go around like that she says.
Shopping? What you do Eighteen is not called shopping, it's called shoplifting Seventeen laughs.
Whatever, let's go Eighteen says, annoyed by her brother's immaturity. The three androids fly away.
Later, at Sky Palace, with their wounds healed, the heroes have gathered to think of their next move.
I seriously didn't expect we'd get out of this alive Yamcha says. I wonder what those robots are planning to
do from now on.
Who knows Kuririn also wonders.
The only sure thing is they're not some innocent creatures who just want to have a good time. We have to
strike back as soon as possible Piccolo says. He turns to Kami.
Hey, old man. I think you know what we have to do.
You mean... Kami begins, but he's interrupted by his counterpart.
Yes. You have long outlived your usefulness as a supposed god of Earth. Besides, you'll soon die of old age.
If you want to call yourself a god, help us fight Androids. Merge with me Piccolo says.
Listen my Piccolo,if that was a way to beat them,i'd gladly do ,even a god worships his life too much to
throw it away for no serious reason.
No serious reason? Piccolo yells. Have you lost it old man? Haven't you heard that woman from the future?
Those mechanical things devastated her world.
That's not my point Kami explains. Merging with me will merely double your power. Gohan is tens of times
stronger than you and still lost. Do you think that, even with twice the power you currently have, you'll be of help
against them?
Piccolo remains silent in embarassment. At that moment, a vehicle lands on the sky platform. Bulma and
come out.
What are you doing here? a surprised Gohan asks.
Listen ladies, this place is sacred. You can't just drop by here for a visit Mr Popo explains.
Zip it,nig the younger, and more rude, Bulma says. She turns to her friends and shows them a photo.
See? That's another time machine, like the one i used to come from the future explains.
A farmer reported that to our company Bulma says.
Everyone is puzzled. Kami speaks.
So someone or something else came from the future too. Now i know the feeling of uneasiness i have had
the last 4 years wasn't just about the Androids...
