A few miles away, Trunks appears. "What," he said. Looking down he sees the head of Android 19. "This is definitely one of Gero's."

Flying off to the power of the Z fighter. Getting there, he sees. Vegeta looking around with the other fighters trying to figure out where Gero went. "Hey Trunks," said Alexander

"Why was there a different android?" asked Trunks.

"Different?" asked the Grand Master. "Weren't those the androids?"

"No, not the ones I fought," said Trunk.

"Multiverse theory," said Alexander. "We better find Gero."

The Z fighters spread out. Gero was getting to his lab. He spies Krillin. "I will take his energy," though the mad doctor. He quick attacks Krillin and starts to steal his energy, leaving the bald man for dead.

Getting to his lab he sees the Z fighter flying down. He quickly enters and locks metal door.

Inside the lab Gero goes to some pods. "Got no choice but to activate 17 and 18," though Gero. He opens the two pods and a black-haired male and blond haired female walks out.

"Greetings doctor," said the female. "How can we serve?"

"Good the reprograming of you personalities worked. I have Goku's friends right outside and I need them taken care off," said Gero.

"Of course, doctor," said the black male. He eyes the remote in Gero's hand. The door is blasted opens.

"Kill them," ordered the doctor. The remote is stolen by the black-haired android. "What are you doing?"

"I have had enough taking orders from you?" said the male android. He sticks his hand in Gero's metal body. He falls and is quickly crushed by the black-haired android. Looking around he sees another pod with the number 16. "Another android? Let's open it up."

Trunks seeing this fire a blast. "Why did you do that?" asked Alexander. "You made an unprovoked attack."

The smoke clear and the androids are un harmed. They open the pod and an Orange android appears. "What is your designation?" asked 17.

"I am android 16," said the orange haired android.

"I am 17," said the black-haired male.

"18," said the blond.

"What is your primary programing?" asked 18.

"I am too kill Goku," said 16.

"Let's go," said 17

They walk out, ignoring the group and fly off. "They are going after Goku," said Alexander. "We should stop them."

Vegeta growled and flies off. "Wait father," said Trunk.

"I will go after him," said Alexander as the Grand Master flies off.

On a main high way, the three Androids land. "I see one them followed us," said 17. "Let's have some fun."

Vegeta lands. "You though you could escape," said the prince.

"Who wants this?" asked 17. "How about you 16?"

"I am too only kill Goku," said the big android.

18 steps up. "I will take him," she said.

"Wait," said a voice as Alexander flies down. "I will take one of you on."

"I changed my target," said 18. "He will make for a better challenge."

"Very well," said Alexander. "It is a little crowded, follow me.

The two take off. "Well it looks like it's you and me Vegeta," said 17.

"It seems so Android."

Alexander landed with 18 right behind him. "Let's get started tough guy," said 18.

Alexander power up. "Why can't I sense your energy?" asked 18.

"You'll find out soon enough," said Alexander. Androids 18 rushes Alexander and goes for a punch. Blocking it, Alexander retaliates with a kick. Sending her in the sky. Disappearing and appears above her, Alexander punches her into the ground. "I was excepting more."

Androids 18 fires multiple energy blast which are batted away. She appears behind Alexander and kicks him away. Quickly capitalizing on her slight advantage, 18 fire energy blast at Alexander. "Got him."

The smoke clears and Alexander is seen unharmed. "Impressive," said Alexander. "That actually singed me slightly."

Alexander charged forward and send 18 back with a powerful punch. She flies back and rams him. "This is the most fun I had so far," said Alexander. Alexander snaps his head to the direction of Vegeta. "Shit Vegeta's power is dropping."

"I must bid you ado Ms. Eighteen," said Alexander.

"We're not done here," she shouted. She is knocked out.

"Yes we are," said Alexander. He flies off. He sees the Earth Special Forces on the ground. He sees 17. "You better tend to your sister."

17 nods his head, knowing he has good chance of losing flies off. Getting to the down group. Alexander pop a senzu in their mouth. "You all right?" asked Alexander.

"I don't get it," said Trunk. "The Androids in my timeline were never this strong."

"At least your all alive," said Alexander. "Let regroup."

Piccolo was looking at the distance. He flies off. "Where's he going?" asked Tien.

I think he is going to fuse with Kami," said Krillin. "I direction he went is towards the tower."

"Very well, you all head back to Kami house," said Alexander.

"What about you?" asked Tien.

"I have to go somewhere else," said Alexander. He disappears.

At the lookout Piccolo was standing in front of Kami. "You know why I have come."

"Yes, Piccolo. However; the androids aren't the real threat," said the elder Namekian. "I have sensed a much greater evil, for four years. In this case I would wait, but we should fuse and quickly end this threat."

"Then we agree," said Piccolo.

"We must hurry," said Kami. The two quickly do the merger and the power is quickly increased to new heights.

"Take care Mr. Popo," said the Super Namek.

Trunk and the others were at Kami house after moving Goku there. The Phone ring. Master Roshi walks in. "Trunks it's for you."

Trunk get the phone. "Hello.'

"Trunk, it's your mother. A Capsule Corp team found something identical to your time machine," said Bulma.

"That is impossible. We barley were able make one," said Trunk.

"It's by Ginger town. Can you come over and help me verify," said Bulma.

"I will meet you there," said Trunks.

"I will go with you," said Gohan. The two fly off.

Back at Ginger Town Piccolo was shocked as he found the city deserted. "What happened? I don't anyone but Frieza and wait I also sense Goku and the others. What the hell is going on?"

Alexander was standing at his temple. "You know why I asked to be brought back?" asked the Grand Master. "I want to train you and your daughter."

"I really apricate what you did for my family but why offer me this?" asked the man.

"The Earth needs a champion and I believe you should be the public hero of the earth."

"I guess I can. All right I can do it."

"Since you did win in the world martial arts tournament. I will train you to utilize ki," said Alexander.

"Right.'
