A/N: Well, I was on a roll today, so presenting to you: chapter 14! Oooh… You're in trouble now, Krillin!

Don't forget to review!

P.S. "talking", ("telepathy")


Chapter 14: NOOOOO!

"Goku is not here!"

"Oh, but we think he is, my green friend"

"Goku is sick," the Namek growled, "he can't fight you now! I will take over for him"

"Don't be stupid, Piccolo." 17 smirked, "We have no business with you or your friends." He glanced at Susan, "Just give us the Saiyan and we'll be on our way"

Susan was still standing on the roof listening to the conversation. O boy, did he just look at her? Why did he do that? Don't be stupid Susan! she thought to herself, he's an android, created by the same freak that made that green psycho! You two are not exactly a match made in heaven, and he would probably kill you if you ever even made eye contact with him again. Those eyes… No! Snap out of it!

"Goku is not here anymore." the big android suddenly announced.

"What did you say?" 17 blinked.

"I said: Goku is not…"

"We heard you the first time! Now, what do you mean?"

Everyone turned to the big android, who had been quiet the whole time, until now.

"Son Goku has disappeared. I detected him in that building a few minutes earlier, but he is gone now"

"Where did he go?" 18 asked

"Unknown."

Everyone was shocked by 16's annoucement. The Z-fighters tried to detect his powerlevel, but it was like he had just vanished into thin air. Instant transmission? No, Piccolo thought, he would have to raise his powerlevel, and besides that, he was still recovering from the heart virus.

("Susan!")

("…")

("SUSAN!")

("ACK! I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T…")

Susan almost fell of the roof, when her little "daydream" was interrupted by a telepathic message from Piccolo.

("You are standing right above Goku's room now, do you sense anything? Emotions maybe?")

Susan focused, but she found nothing

("Nope, all clear")

"Then where did he…")

"Hello? Anyone there? I asked you a question, Namek!"

O great, the androids were starting to get impatient. If he didn't do something right now, things would probably get ugly. Very ugly… He had to buy Goku some more time to return from wherever he was now, and Bulma still had to finish the remote. And, the longer they would wait, the longer Cell would have to…

"Alright" Piccolo said in a calm voice "We don't know where he is now, but even if we did know, we would never tell you"

"Then I guess we'll just have to make…" 17 was interrupted by a squeal from Lara, who was singing something in front of Krillin.

"Oooohhh, I know something you don't want me to know Krillin…"

"I…I have no idea what you are talking about…" he stammered.

"Teehee! Give it up Romeo," a mischievous look appeared on her face, "I'm an Uranian remember? And at this moment, I'm reading your emotions like a book, if you know what I mean…"

She winked at him and turned to 18

"Hey, android lady! If you'll let us live, I'll tell you a secret!"

"ACK! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"HEY! LEMMEGO! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"

Before Lara could say anything that would be very funny, but also quite stupid, Krillin grabbed the Uranian and dragged her away from the very confused cyborg.

"Right…" 18 mumbled, after a long and painful silence

"If you guys want to fight, that's fine with me" Piccolo said, "but not here!"

"Ah, playing the hero again, aren't we?" 17 mocked, "Well, it doesn't matter where we fight, because you'll never beat us"

"Follow me!"

Piccolo took off, heading in the direction of a city, that had been emptied by Cell. Hundreds of innocent people had been killed by him, there was no reason giving the androids a chance to increase the number of deaths even more.

Meanwhile on Voyager…

"Janeway to Sickbay, do we have her?"

"Uhm…not exactly…"

"What do you mean by that, lieutenant Paris?"

"We thought we had a lock on Lara's signal, but instead…"

"What?"

"You better come here and see for yourself Captain…"


A/N: This is getting a bigger mess every minute! Will Krillin's secret be safe much longer with Lara being, well…uhm…herself? Will Piccolo be able to defeat the androids? What's going on in Sickbay? Find out next time, on DBZ!
