This story is told in the POV of my OC, Trixie.
With this out of the way, let's begin.
Chapter 21
It had been a long and arduous three long years since Trunks had warned us of the androids in question. It was finally the day that he mentioned, so everyone all met up in South City's outskirts in the same area with Yajirobe arriving by flying car and Bulma arriving in a Capsule Corporation jet of the smaller kind. And when everyone saw what she held in her hands, everyone was shocked.
"AWW! Who's this little angel's name?" Gine gushed at the baby, as did the other female Saiyans. "His name is Trunks. Guess who the daddy is," Bulma smiled.
"I think I know. He told me you were going to get married and that you were having a kid. It's Vegeta," I smiled at her, Bulma gasping and forming a smile at that.
"I'm surprised Vegeta would tell you of all people, honestly. I'm also surprised you managed to keep that secret for so long," Bulma smiled.
"Like I would ruin something as surprising and secretive as you being pregnant with Vegeta's kid? Come on, think of what it would do to his pride and his training focus if everyone pestered him about it," I smiled.
"Fair point," Broly smirked.
"Speaking of, I've never met this Saiyan with you... mind telling me your name, big guy?" Bulma smiled at my big friend.
"Broly. Yours?" he smiled.
"Bulma Briefs. And this little guy is named Trunks. Notice how adorable he is? But according to Vegeta, he has a lot of latent power trapped somewhere inside of him," Bulma smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Trunks," I smiled at the little guy, him trying to grab my hand and being confused at how his tiny fingers just went right through my skin.
"Hehe.. look at his little face. So cute when confused!" I gushed at it.
"Mm..." Trunks smiled as I then petted his head with my fingers, me being able to do that much since he wore a hat on. I made sure to do it gently so as not to ruin his precious head.
"Okay, it's 10 am and the androids still haven't arrived," Piccolo frowned.
"Keep waiting. For all we know, he could've been rounding out the time it took. They could be here at 10 or they could be here at 10:15. Who can say when they'll arrive?" I asked. And then something happened. We heard a loud explosion and I could see the duo off in the distance. One fat and on skinny with a long hat.
"I think we just found them... wait... why can't I sense them?" Krillin gawked.
"I can't either!" Saladia gasped before Amelia took over.
"Well, if they're part machine, then maybe they can't be sensed. Their codes may be hiding their true power," Amelia said.
"Very possible, Amelia. We'll need to go down there and spread out to try and find these androids. Look for the insignia on their bodies of two r's with one mirroring the other. That's the Red Ribbon symbol," Goku said.
"Understood, let's go down and see if we can't take care of these bozos before Trunks can arrive," I smiled. We then proceeded down to the South City and proceeded to look around for any kind of clues, me looking around to see if anyone had seen anything. "Excuse me, have you seen a duo with some strange emblem on their clothes? It looks like two red r's but one is mirrored," I asked someone.
"Um... not that I know of. Is that the one that caused that car to explode?!" the man gawked.
"Yes, but it isn't just one. It's two. Normally I could sense their presence as I'm a spirit, but they're machines, so I can't sense them," I frowned at the man.
"Well, I'll alert you if I find anyone fitting that description," he said as I then looked behind me and saw a duo of people on the ground that were around Yamcha's position, Yamcha looking to be confronting them as I noticed their appearances. Doctor Gero and 19 for sure.
"GUYS! THEY'RE HERE!" Yamcha exclaimed before Doctor Gero grabbed Yamcha by the mouth and started to drain his energy, me making my energy spike to alert everyone that I had found the duo, me rushing to the old creep and knocking Yamcha out of his grasp before Yamcha would be completely drained, the former bandit gasping and coughing afterwards as I glared at the madman.
"Well, well, I guess that we've got some new meddlers that our data hasn't mentioned of," Gero smiled as he looked at me with a smile before Goku arrived with the others. "More than a few new faces, it seems," Gero smirked at this.
"Let's take this somewhere that has no innocents that can be harmed. Got it?" I frowned at the madman and his clown creation next to him.
"Very well. Come, 19, it's time to deal with Goku once and for all," Gero frowned as we proceeded to the battlefield and I felt Goku's life force start to get dimmer. He was starting to breathe heavy as we arrived in the field that we would face Gero at, me looking at Goku and frowning at him.
"Goku, why are you breathing heavy after just flying for a bit? You feeling alright?" I asked him, wondering if he'd be honest with me.
"Well.." Goku was about to say, me looking at him sharply.
"Be honest, have you even contracted that disease yet?" I asked him.
"What are you talking about? Didn't that guy say that he'd contract the heart disease a year before today? He can't have it now!" Gine exclaimed in shock.
"What are you all going on about?" Gero asked with a frown.
"Goku, I knew you haven't gotten the disease and I know that just now the symptoms started to appear. Never before have you breathed heavily after a few minutes of flight... honestly, your brain worries me sometimes, you know?" I frowned at him as I looked at Broly.
"Broly, change of plans. You get Goku back to his house so he can take that medicine effective immediately. We can handle these metallic assholes in the meantime, got it?" I smirked at my friend.
"Of course," Broly said, him grabbing onto Goku and hoisting him over his shoulder, Goku breathing even more heavily as Broly was about to leave.
"Make sure you and Chi-Chi take the medicine too!" I exclaimed at him before he could get out of earshot, him giving a thumbs-up as he flew off, Gero looking at me with a frown.
"You're telling me that Goku's going to be out of commission because of a stupid disease?... Very well, we will just kill you all and then go after Goku ourselves," Gero smirked as he looked at 19. "19, pick who you want to fight," Gero smiled at his puppet.
"I wish to battle the females with the monkey tails," 19 said in his high-pitched clown voice, me groaning as I held my ears at the voice.
"My god! Your voice sounds like nails on chalkboard mixed with 500 mice squeaking in unison! Who the hell designed your voice to sound so annoying?" I groaned at him, earning a scowl from 19 and Gero at the same time.
"So, you wish to fight us female Saiyans, do you, clown boy? Very well... let us entertain that... want to know a secret, androids?" Onin smiled as she stepped forward and looked at me for approval.
"Go ahead and do it. All of you girls," I smiled at them.
"Time to show the fruits of our training in Master Trixie's Boot Camp!" Pepper exclaimed as she and the other female Saiyans charged their power up and then turned into Super Saiyans, everyone gasping that didn't know about it prior.
"You just became Super Saiyans! That's awesome!" Krillin gawked.
"Of course we did, silly! Trixie trained all of us Saiyans to go Super! Even Bardock and Vegeta can do it!" Saladia smirked at that as she looked at 19 with a smile.
"Do you have any kind of power sensors in those wired bones of yours, clown boy?" Gine smirked.
"No, I do not," 19 said.
"Well, our power is sure to be stronger than yours. Want to test that theory?" Pepper smirked as she rushed forward and connected a blow to 19's backside, the four girls proceeding to punch his body to each other in unison and 19 looking to be in actual pain as parts of his body started to fall off bit by bit until, finally, Onin delivered the final blow with a singular energy blast that demolished the rest of the robot, only his head remaining before powering down completely, Gero looking shocked at this as he looked to be a bit scared.
"Well, well, how to deal with you?" I smiled at him, Gero gasping and sending a smoke ball onto the ground before escaping, me rushing through it and after the doctor, making myself invisible in the process to chase after him in secrecy, listening into his conversation as he rushed off.
"I must release 17 and 18, as much as I don't want to... they can handle that kind of power and kill Goku on top of that!" Gero exclaimed, me contacting my allies from a distance with telepathy.
"Guys! These guys aren't the androids that the future boy mentioned! They're Doctor Gero and a different android! And Doctor Gero is on his way to free the real threats, androids 17 and 18! Follow my power level and you'll find us easily!" I exclaimed at them in telepathy, Gero not noticing me at all as we proceeded to his secret lab and he entered it, me hiding myself still as he started to release 17 and 18, him releasing 17 first while holding onto the emergency shutdown switch. I then noticed some detailed plans on the table and saw that they were for android 17, but another one was even better. It was the blueprints for Cell! I quickly and quietly swiped the papers and kept them hidden with my invisibility powers, 17 then starting to speak after waking up.
"Good morning, doctor. Thanks for waking me," he smiled after seeing the switch.
"My word... did you just thank me?" Gero asked.
"Of course, I owe my existence to you," 17 smiled at his 'creator'. Even though said creator stole 17 and 18 away from their families and turned them into sentient androids.
"Now let's wake your sister," Gero said as I looked at the duo as they soon emerged, 18 then looking at the switch as well and her also feigning innocence.
"A good morning to you, dear Doctor Gero," she smiled, me finally deciding to end the party as I felt the powers of my friends outside.
"Ugh, can you spare me the idiocy, please?" I groaned as I simply snagged the remote from Gero's grasp and then threw it at the wall, 17 gasping at what just happened.
"W-Who did that? Show yourself!" 17 exclaimed, me snickering as I appeared, Gero growling at my presence.
"You just destroyed the only way I could have them under control, do you realize that?!" Gero asked, me smirking at that.
"Oh, really? Well, according to these papers that I saw on your desk while you were waking those two up, they have no right to be controlled by you, isn't that right, kidnapper?" I growled at him as I showed the blueprints for 17 that I had on my person, 17 gasping at it as well as 18's eyes going wide and Gero growling at that.
"Now I'll ask you two this once. Do you really want to do Gero's dirty work and destroy everything in the world? Or are you just programmed to go after Goku and that's it?" I frowned at the two androids, them looking at me with a frown that slowly turned into a smile.
"You've got that much right, whoever you are... very smart. Too smart, in fact. How do you know so much about us?" 18 smiled at me.
"Someone told me that you two were incredibly dangerous and that you feel no emotion I wanted to see if that was really the case. But just from seeing you guys and seeing how you were stolen from your families for this little experiment this 'good doctor' did on you? I'd say that you're well inclined to hate him but not anyone else," I smiled.
"You've got that much right as well... what's this supposed to be?" 17 asked as he looked over to a nearby capsule and saw the number on it just as the others barged the door down.
"Trixie! What's going on?!" Trunks exclaimed when he appeared.
"Nothing, just chatting with two people that are not at all the villains here. It's this asshole with the giant hat... speaking of which, Doctor Gero, time to pay for your crimes," I said to him as I compressed the air around his neck and forced his head to pop off, 18 closing the distance and stomping his head to bits, brain matter and all.
"Gross..." Pepper gulped.
"I wonder what this android will be like... he looks much bigger than the two of us, and it says his name is 16. The one before you, brother," 18 smiled as she approached the capsule and Trunks looked angry.
"You let him awaken 17 and 18?! You fool! You've doomed us all!" Trunks exclaimed in anger.
"Have they tried to attack any of you yet? I don't see any bodies piled up right now, do you? Just trust her, Trunks, she's the most intelligent of all of us. I'm sure she knows what she's doing," Amelia said to Trunks, him being a bit hesitant as 18 woke up 16 and he looked to be just as he was in the anime. Big, burly, and having a monotone expression on him.
"Nice to meet you, big guy. Name's 16, right? We're fellow androids," 17 smiled at him.
"Nice... to meet you," 16 smiled finally at the other two before looking at my group with a frown.
17 then burst a hole through the roof and the trio then escaped through it, me looking at Trunks as he tried to send some shots and sword slashes at me, none of them connecting with me at all. "Listen, Trunks. I had them fess up what they actually wanted to do. The only thing that they are programmed to do is defeat Goku, which I could help get that bit of programming out of them with Bulma's help and with these detailed blueprints I stole from Gero's desk," I said to him, Trunks gasping at it as he eyeballed it and was amazed at the intricacy of the details.
"Now what do you say that we go after these androids just to see what they're going to do? Some of us should also go and get these plans to Bulma and some of us should go check to see how Goku is faring," I said to the lot.
"I'll take the plans to Bulma," Pepper smiled.
"As will I," Onin smirked.
"And I may as well check on Goku with Yamcha. We're not nearly powerful enough to handle these androids," Tien said.
"Okay, the rest of us will go after the androids," I said.
