Author's Note: Well, I don't think I need to say anything for this chapter either, except there will be a few altercations, but this is my fanfic, I can put on any weird thing I please. I could put in make everyone pick each other's noses, HFIL, I could even put in that Trunks and Goten have kids together (Not that I would put something like that on, but if I do, it's not necessarily on this fic, but I'm just trying to get my point across).
Disclaimer: Title says it all. I don't own DBZ or the songs that I put on this fic.
Rise of Android 22
Give me a word,
Give me a sign,
Tell me where to look,
Tell me what will I find? (What will I find?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, Heaven let your light shine down,
Oh, Heaven let your light shine down,
Oh, Heaven let your light shine down,
Oh, Heaven let your light shine down,
-Collective Soul, "Shine"
More and more, 22 started doubting what her memories told her of what her human life was like. Neither her mother nor her girlfriend seemed uncaring of her. In fact, it was the exact opposite, but Gero told her that lies can seem like the truth.
The next fight she was told was in the mountains, but far from the lab.
"Are you daydreaming, darling?" The old man asked.
"No." 22 said uneasily.
That was another thing. She wasn't referred to as Android 22 unless it was very serious. She was usually called a pet name which creeped her out some.
Meanwhile...
The Z Warriors were traveling to where the lab was by Capsule Corp. ship. However, the fighters clashed on what to do with Android 22. Vegeta thought that she should be killed, while 18 thought that she should be taken back home so she can have a second chance.
"Why should she be given a second chance?" Vegeta asked.
"Because she's my daughter and you gave me and 17 a second chance." 18 answered firmly.
"I did not, Baldy did. Besides, how can you guarantee that she wouldn't try to kill us if we did?"
"Because I didn't."
"Because you and your brother didn't even like the old man to begin with. That tinker toy actually obeyed him."
That remark pissed off 18.
"WHAT? HOW DARE YOU CALL MY DAUGHTER A TINKER TOY YOU BASTARD! I DON'T CARE IF YOU SAY THOSE THINGS TO ME, BUT IF YOU CALL MY DAUGHTER THAT AGAIN, I WILL BRING THE THUNDER TO YOU!"
"CALM DOWN 18!" 17 intervened.
"Before this escalates any further, we should take a vote." Goku explains.
It took 18 a while, but she agreed to it.
"Now, all in favor of giving Marron a second chance, raise your hand."
The people who did raise their hands were 17, 18, Krillin, Bra, Pan, Gohan, Goten, even Goku raised his hand. Trunks wanted to raise his hand too but Vegeta scared him into opposing.
"All opposed."
Trunks (albeit unwillingly), Vegeta, and Piccolo raised their hands (Piccolo voted against it knowing that they would go with the first plan).
"Okay. The majority has spoken and we give Marron a second chance."
They finally landed at their destination. One by one, they each got out of the ship. And then...
BAM!
The explosion caused the warriors to tumble each other.
"Hello again, Z Warriors. I see you haven't given up yet."
Dr. Gero cackled evilly. 22 was at his side with an apathetic look on her face, staying silent.
"Marron, come home with us, so we can take care of you." 17 said.
22 turned her head to the old man.
"He's just trying to decieve you, sweetheart."
18 was angered by him calling her daughter a pet name, just like he did with her.
"YOU'LL REGRET THIS OLD PRICK!" 18 shouted as she was about to attack him.
The second battle has finally begun, will it end on a sweet or sour note? find out on Rise of Android 22!
Your reviews are great! Keep 'em coming and maybe, just maybe, I might even make a sequel to this fanfic! :)
