Okay, I need to explain the rules a little better. Though I love doing this fic, I have a strict rule of NOT updating until getting at least 3 reviews for a chapter. It may seem silly and it does keep me from updating my fics. But it keeps me from burning out and the only time I've broken the rule was with Jinchurriki Sentai Biijuger and that was just to try and get more reviews. It unfortunately failed and I have all but abandoned that fic. A shame too because I really wanted to continue. Okay I've bored you long enough. On to the reviews.

StarAF938: Glad for your continued support. I hope you like this chapter as well.

Liz Briefs: I try my best. Thank you for reviewing again.

TiffanyRance: I apologize for not updating and I have explained my reasoning.

Well then... Let's kick it up!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The Z-fighters stood before the 3 Androids ready for battle. Future-Trunks had his hand on his sword trembling in both fear and rage.

"Calm down. We can't have you losing your head right now." Vegeta whispered to his son.

17 and 18 looked at the warriors. 18 with a disinterested look and 17 with a slightly serious look.

'So these are Son Goku's friends. Hmmm, A few of them are actually kind of cute.' 18 thought to her self.

'Goku's not here and there are a few of these guys not in Gero's files. We might need be careful.' 17 thought as he took a few steps forward. "So, any of you care to tell me where Goku is." He asked with a smirk putting on his cocky facade once more.

"Do you honestly think we'd tell you?" Tien asked rhetorically.

"Eh, worth a shot." 17 said shrugging before he kicked the ground causing a large dust cloud to blind our heroes.

After a moment of shock Future-Trunks swung his sword to get rid of the dust. The Z-fighters then looked around the area unable to see the Androids until Vegeta caught a quick glimps of 3 dots heading southeast.

"Oh no you don't!" Vegeta shouted taking off at top speed to catch his foes.

Mean while in West City, Gohan, Bulma, Trunks and Yajirobi had just arrived at Capsule Corp. After touching down Gohan ran a few feet about to take off again when Bulma called out to him.

"Wait Gohan. I know you're worried about Goku. But could you..." As Bulma was struggling to ask, Gohan closed his eyes and focused his senses back to the spot to where he left the others.

"I sence everyone is still okay. It doesn't look like they've started fighting yet." He said as Bulma calmed down a little. Of course Gohan decided not to mention that at the moment, Vegeta was moving away from the others, not wanting to give Bulma more to worry about. "Look, Bulma I'm sorry to leave like this..." Gohan began as Bulma put up her hand.

"It's okay. Your Dad needs you. Go on. Get out of here." She said with a tender smile.

"Thanks." Gohan said returning the smile before he took off for home. ::Piccolo, can you here me?:: Gohan asked attempting a telepathic link with his mentor.

::I hear you Gohan.:: The Namekian responded.

::I need a status report.:: Gohan said.

::The other Androids have been activated with 1 more than we thought and killed Dr. Gero. They escaped from us and Vegeta went after them. We're on our way to catch up.:: Piccolo explained.

::This is bad. Look, since it's likely that they have files on where we live, it might be better if I got my Dad somewhere safer.

::What, like Kame House?:: Piccolo asked.

::No, they most likely know about Kame House. Our best bet is probably the Lookout. I should probably warn Master Roshi too.:: Gohan said.

::Good thinking. I'll keep you up to date on what's happening.:: Piccolo told his student.

::Alright. Be careful Piccolo.:: Gohan said as he kicked it in to high gear racing to get home.

Meanwhile, on an abandoned mountain road, the Androids had just touched down.

"So, what are we doing here?" 18 asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We're waiting for a car." 17 told her.

"Why?" 18 asked confused on why they needed a car.

"I just thought it would be fun to drive. Back me up 16." 17 said looking up at the ginger Android only to be replied with a 'hmmm'.

"Life of the party, you are." 18 said to 16 before turning back to her brother. "Okay we can get a car. Just make sure it looks good." 18 said with smirk as she closed her eyes.

Just then, Vegeta landed right near them. "So, which 1 of you wants to fight me first?" He asked with his arms folded.

At this 18 smirked, mind if I take this 1?" She asked 17.

"Sure thing." 17 replied as 16 simply gave another 'hmmm'.

"Okay then." 18 said as she walked up in front of the other 2. "Let's go."

Vegeta then rushed at 18 with a punch as she easily dodged. Vegeta looked behind him to see 18 smirking as she put her hand forward creating a pulse of wind pushing him back. After recovering from the hit. Vegeta circled around 18 to tackle her. The 2 struggled for a bit with 18 never losing her smirk as she punched Vegeta downward and in to the middle of a crowded highway.

For a second Vegeta was worried that 18 would try to blast on the highway playing against his new found kind nature. This worry was stopped however as 18 gave the prince a finger taunt signaling him to get up to her level, 18 herself having no desire to hurt innocent people. After that the 2 continued their bout. 18 never losing the upper hand.

After a few more minutes, they were back above the back road they started on as 18 kicked Vegeta in the stomach before blasting him in to the nearby mountain side.

Just then, the other Z-fighters landed nearby. With Future-Trunks looking over to the wall. "Father, are alright?" The swordsman asked in a panic as Vegeta crawled out of the wall with his armor spandex and gloves ripped and tattered.

"I'm fine." Vegeta said staggering a bit as he turned back towards 18 while signaling to Tarble.

Without another word, Vegeta rushed towards 18 with a flurry of punches. 18 dodged each hit with little interest. Just then Tarble appeared behind her and struck with an energy blade, more annoying the female Android than anything else as she grabbed the faces of the 2 brothers and slammed them in to the ground of the canyon below.

Future-Trunks then drew his sword and was about to go help his father and uncle only to be met by 17 who proceded to strike at him as the Super Saiyan blocked and tried to counter with his sword. Future-Gohan then blasted at 17 who then dodged. Just then 16 appeared where 17 was with his back turned to the blast. This surprized the robot armed fighter as 16 then pulled out a birds nest and placed it a good distance away from the fight.

"Be more careful." 16 said looking down at Future-Gohan who, after recovering from the shock proceeded to help his companion fight 17. Tien then rushed forward at 17 who was fighting the future boys as Frist flew down to help Vegeta and Tarble.

17 then heel kicked Tien to the ground knocking him out before he slam the Future-Fighters heads together and threw them to the ground where they reverted back to their normal forms.

Meanwhile, Frost was trying to fight 18 who had knocked out Vegeta and Tarble. But unfortunately, he had little success as the blonde Android kicked him in the throat and slammed him in to a wall using the unconscious Vegeta as a weapon.

'Oh man. What am I gonna do. These guys took down 3 Super Saiyans and only 2 of them were fighting.' Krillin thought in a panick as 17 and 18 landed right in front of him. 'No choise then. It's a good thing I had Goku teach me this last year.' He thought going in to a fighting stance. "Kaio..." He began to call out as 18 put her finger on his lips.

"Now now. We don't to fight you." She said with a smirk.

"Yeah. If we take you down, who will heal your buddies?" 17 said.

"Why not just kill us now" Krillin asked in confusion.

"We're only interested in Goku." 16 said in his usual monotone. And with that the 3 began to walk away.

"Wait. You can't go after Goku right now." Krillin called to the Androids causing them to turn around.

"And why not?" 17 asked in slight annoyance

"He's really sick right now. You at least need to give him time to recover." Krillin pleaded to them.

17 then looked between 16 and 18 for conformation. "7 days. After that, it's open season." He said.

"Thank you." Krillin said releaved at the mercy the Androids were showing. Just then 18 walked up to Krillin and bent down to eye level with him.

"See you around." 18 said in a slightly seductive voice as she gave Krillin a quick peck on the lips. Afterwards she and her companions left leaving Krillin stunned.

Krillin soon recovered and went to heal his friends and apprize them of the situation.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

And there you go. Chapter 10. Again sorry for the wait and I hope you enjoyed it. Now before I go I have 3 questions. 1: As I said last time I need names for the sequels to this fic. 2: I need names for 16, 17 and 18. 3: I had this idea of Maron being born in the Hyperbolic Time chamber while Krillin and 18 train to fight Cell and 16 to be the 1 absorbed by Cell. What do you think? Please vote in the reviews and as always... Keep on keeping on.
