Freeza grabs Eighteen, who's still dazed because of the hit
she received, by the shoulders and knees her in the face,
which gets stained with a red liquid. 'Heh. Is this blood or
oil?' Freeza asks with a smile of satisfaction before throwing
the android in the air.
Eighteen manages to stop her course and correct herself.
She looks at Freeza down below while wiping her blood
stained face with her sleeve and pushing herself to smile
as if everything is ok. 'It seems that transformation gave
you quite a power boost,' she says. 'Now this fight might
become interesting. I'm gonna get serious soon.'
'Do what you want. I don't care,' Freeza replies and ascends
so fast that Eighteen has to concentrate really hard just to
see him coming.
The two warriors resume the fight. However, the tables now
seem turned. Down below, a delighted Sorbet watches his
boss kicking ass. 'YES, ALL HAIL LORD FREEZA,' he cries in
enthusiasm.
Krillin and Shisami are standing opposite each other. Krillin is
panting while blood is running from his scalp. Shisami is staring
with his arms crossed and a relaxed smile.
'Come on, shrimp, try your last stand,' he provokes. 'Unless
you're too disappointed by now!'
'Gotta use the kaioken,' Krillin thinks. He was planning to save
it in case he needed to fight Freeza; although he and the other
humans have mastered it to the extent that they can use it
with less strain, it's still not a power up that should be spent
light heartedly. But, as things turned out, he has no choice.
Krillin rushes to the foe. Superhuman speed in our eyes, but,
from Shisami's perspective, there is plenty of time to react to
that.
'Heh. He's so desperate that he's just attacking a superior
opponent head on,' the red bull thinks. 'Fine, let's end it this
way.'
Shisami rushes to the foe as well. However, that moment,
Krillin gets surrounded with a crimson aura. 'KAIOKEN,' he
yells as Shisami bulges his eyes (all that happens in a
fraction of a moment).
The next moment, Krillin has penetrated Shisami's abdomen
with a headbutt and come out the rear side of his opponent's
body, covered in blood and intestines!
'Yuck! I need a good bath,' Krillin thinks as he falls on the
ground while Shisami's eyes get blank, an indication he died.
'So, dude, will you wake up, or do I have to finish you off?'
Tagoma asks Tenshinhan. No response.
'Hmf, fine,' Freeza's elite says and throws the foe in the air.
He appears above Tenshinhan's course, intending to finish
off the triclops with a charged punch that will disintegrate
his body.
That moment, Tenshinhan abruptly opens his eyes, an
expression of determination. 'KAIOKEN,' he yells and a red
aura surrounds him as he spins around and delivers a knife
hand strike that beheads Tagoma.
'Kaio what?' the cut off head says before going into the
eternal silence of death.
Garana keeps squeezing Yamcha in his bear hug. 'Heh. Can
you feel your spine coming out of your anus?' he asks the
seemingly helpless foe.
'KAIOKEN,' Yamcha suddenly yells and repels the alien with a
burst of his crimson aura. Before Garana can realize what's
going on, Yamcha rushes to him and makes his eyes bulge
with a punch in the face. The gorilla ends up with his back on
the ground.
The human grabs the alien's huge arm and throws him in the
air. With his red aura still burning, he cups his hands and aims
at the opponent: 'KAAME... HAAME... HAAA!' Garana's body is
annihilated.
With a sigh, Yamcha turns off his red aura and lets his body
fall on its butt to catch his breath. Soon, Krillin and Tenshinhan
approach and land next to him. The three warriors exchange
smiles and 'thumbs up' gestures.
Suddenly, Krillin's eyes widen. 'What happened with Eighteen?'
Goku sensed Freeza's chi going way up. His old enemy is
definitely many times stronger than he was on Namek.
There doesn't seem to be any chi around Freeza. Does that
mean he's fighting... Eighteen? In that case, Krillin's wife is
toast. Goku never sensed Androids' power nor did he ever
fight them, but he thinks he has a good grasp of their
capabilities and he bets Eighteen stands no chance against
that kind of power. Not that he cares.
All he cares about is the fact that, if he could move right now,
he would crush Freeza in an instant. Just the old school, regular
Super Saiyan 1 form would be enough. Damn it all!
Freeza is standing on the ground and strangling the helpless,
female android with his tail. Eighteen has tried everything she
could to release herself. Even biting Freeza's tail was futile!
Now she's just trying to scream as her lungs burn because of
lack of air. 'Heh. Feeling the cold hand of death, trash?' Freeza
rhetorically and sadistically asks.
'EIGHTEEN, NO!' Krillin yells. He raises his kaioken aura all the
way to 10fold and rushes to Freeza. Yamcha and Tenshinhan
instinctively imitate him.
The three humans attack Freeza simultaneously with a flurry
of furious punches and kicks. For Golden Freeza, those hits are
just mosquitoes' bites!
He just slightly turns his eyes towards them and, with an
annoyed sigh, repels them merely with a little burst of his
aura, sending them crashing on nearby mountains.
'Back off, insects. I'll deal with you later,' he shouts. Suddenly,
a kick which came out of nowhere and had way more oomph
than humans' hits sends Freeza skidding away from Eighteen.
The newcomer lands next to the female android, who is now
sitting on the ground and breathing heavily, holding her neck.
'Are you okay?' he asks her.
Eighteen raises her eyes and widens them in surprise.
'Seventeen!' she cries.
'Long time no see, sis,' the male android greets her with a
smile. 'We'll chat later. Now focus on the battle.'
Freeza returns and stands across from the two cyborgs. He
glares at them. Seventeen takes a fighting stance. 'Come on,
Eighteen, get up,' he prompts his sister. 'We will defeat him
together.'
Eighteen reciprocates the smile and stands up, taking a
fighting stance as well. 'Took you long enough, but, at least
you showed up to help your little sis,' she says.
From some distance, the three humans are looking at the
newcomer. 'Who's that?' Yamcha asks, having had only a brief
encounter with Seventeen in the past (when he invaded Roshi's
island along with Eighteen and Sixteen) and unable to remember
him.
'It's the other android. Eighteen's brother,' Krillin explains.
'I never expected that there would come a day that I would
be happy to see him,' Tenshinhan comments.
Freeza and the cyborg twins are fighting in midair. The
galactic tyrant is undoubtedly more powerful than either of
them individually, but the two of them at the same time have
been proven to be too much for him to handle.
Being siblings and really bonded with each other, they can
synchronize their attacks exceptionally well and have each
other's backs. Every time Freeza dodges a blow from one of
them, the other one is already on their way to throwing another
blow, which Freeza does not have time to dodge. Every time
Freeza focuses his attention on one of them and tries to hit
them, the other one blocks or parries the blow in place of their
partner.
On top of the above, Freeza's new form has turned out to
be too draining for his body. And, to make matters worse,
Androids' infinite stamina keeps them fresh, no matter how
long the battle goes on for. As time passes, the cyborgs' upper
hand is more and more evident.
Finally, the twins manage to hit Freeza at the same time,
sending him crashing on the ground. Then, just like they did
to Gohan in another timeline, they extend their arms and
shower the tyrant with a barrage of blasts.
'Way to go, guys. You're almost there!' Krillin cheers.
'Gosh, this is a nightmare,' Sorbet thinks, biting his nails. 'I
have to take a chance and do something.' Slowly and carefully,
he starts approaching the source of the explosions.
Meanwhile, the androids have ceased shooting. They land
around the fallen tyrant. He has reverted back to his 4th form.
He's full of marks that indicate serious wounds.
'Curse you... filthy... robots...' Freeza mumbles, getting on all
fours but failing to fully stand up.
The two androids look at each other with meaningful smiles.
Time to end this. Their eyes back to Freeza! 'Be gone!' they
say simultaneously, charging the finishing blasts.
Suddenly, their blasts dissipate. Their eyes widen. Their
expressions become lifeless. They fall on the ground.
'MHAHAHAHA, I did it, I did it,' Sorbet triumphantly exclaims.
'Huh?' Freeza looks at his subordinate, curious but relieved.
Sorbet reveals a button hidden at his ring. 'You see, Lord
Freeza, when working in the empire's labs, I often had to
deal with robots,' he explains. 'So, for precautionary reasons,
I have this button at my ring in case something goes wrong.
It emits waves that can shut down the mechanical system of
almost every type of sentient machinery.'
'Good job, Sorbet,' Freeza smiles, finally managing to stand up.
'When we get back to the capital, I'll give you a promotion. Now,
let's destroy those two lifeless, mechanical trash!'
