Chapter 36- Androids
As the time came, they all parted, Goku from his wife in tears and her everlasting hug on Gohan. The battle came quickly, and it wasn't in favor of the Z fighters.
Goku breathed heavily. Clenching his chest. Sharp pains attacked his lungs. His breathing came short. His heart pounded harder and harder. The large, pale, Chinese looking android smiled and chuckled with evil. He knew Goku's power was draining and he wouldn't be able to fight much longer.
Goku's blonde hair faded back to black. He continued to grip his chest in pain as he fell to the ground, the discomfort was uncontrollable, agonizing, what was happening to him?
"Goku!" Screamed Krillin with fear as he knew he was the only one who could defeat the androids.
The older Android stood before them all and spoke in a demanding tone. "Don't try and help Goku. If you do you'll have to get past me" he grinned evilly.
Piccolo clenched his teeth. Balling his fist up he flew by the older Android. Piccolo felt a sudden pain come through his chest as beams from the android's eyes pierced his armor. Piccolo fell backward to the ground.
"Piccolo!" Gohan yelled as he flew over to him.
"I'm fine kid. He just caught me off guard" Piccolo stood up, staring at the android as he ripped off his gear.
Goku screamed in pain as the Asian Android 19 grabbed hold of Goku's neck. Draining his life energy from him. Android 19 laughed with amusement until he felt a blast hit him from behind. The Android let of Goku, his body falling to the ground. With anger, android 19 turned around.
"Vegeta!" yelled everyone as the Saiyan stood with a grin in the air. He landed on the ground next to Goku's limp body.
"Kakorate you are a dumbass. You knew you were going to have this heart virus. "Vegeta kicked Goku's body like as if it was weightless. But Vegeta made sure he kicked him in the direction of the other z-fighters. Vegeta turned around to see Android 19.
"Are you ready to die?" Vegeta asked as his eyes shifted over to the android.
Yamcha ran over to Goku's body, picking him up into his arms. "Take him to his home. And take some of that medicine in case the heart virus is contagious." Piccolo spoke.
"Right" Yamcha nodded as he flew into the air with Goku in his arms.
Android 19 wasn't intimidated by the super saiyan Vegeta. Charging towards the prince, he grabbed onto Vegeta's arms. Vegeta just stood, without any eyes contact, without fighting back. Suddenly he kicked Android 19 in the face, pulling his arms and ripping them off his body. With the androids hands still attached to Vegeta's body, Vegeta pulled the electronic arms off him and then flew into the air as the Android ran in fear.
"Final Flash!" Vegeta screamed as a massive energy blast came from his hand, blowing up the Android from behind. Nothing was left but his head. It rolled across the dirt.
Vegeta felt power from above him when he looked up. He laid his eyes on the purpled haired boy from the future.
"Hey Trunks." yelled Krillin.
Vegeta froze. He then realized the boy from the future was his son.
"What's going on?" Asked Trunks with fear as he stared down at the last android left.
"We have almost killed the androids," cheered Krillin.
"No." Said Trunks with disbelief. "I have no idea what these are. There not the androids from my time."
All the z fighters stared at the last older Android with shock. How were there still more androids and where were they?
The Old Android took off into the mountains on foot.
"Get him!" yelled Tien. Vegeta stayed where he was at, not moving a muscle as Tien, Trunks, Krillin and Piccolo went after the Android.
It had been an hour of looking for the Android, and no one had luck yet. "I have not found him" Spoke Piccolo directly to Krillin and Tien in the sky as they hovered over the mountains.
"What should we do when we find his lab?" asked Krillin.
"Power up as high as you can if you find it" replied Piccolo as he continued to look around the ground."And we'll come and find each other."
"Right" They all nodded in agreement before flying their separate ways once again.
Krillin looked down not moments after flying off to see the doctor running through the hills quickly. Krillin followed him.
When he did, the doctor ran into a pair of large metal doors inside a cave. "There it is-" Krillin thought to himself as he began to raise his power level substantially, calling the others to him.
Vegeta felt it, and flew off into the air, thinking a battle must be going on. Trunks followed. Tien and Piccolo noticed his signal and flew in the direction of Krillin.
When Piccolo and Tien reached where Krillin was, Vegeta had made it him by then. "Good job Krillin" spoke Piccolo.
"One problem. He already went in," Krillin said with some fear.
"What the hell are we waiting for?" Piccolo screamed. They all began to charge the door and when it blew open, A short woman stood in a black and white stripped top. The logo RR with a red ribbon was embroidered in her chest. Her hair was shoulder length blonde and her blue eyes made Krillin weak in the knees.
Beside her was a young man almost similar in size and features. His hair was dark, shoulder length, matching his cold eyes. He held the head of the old Android, which happened to be Dr. Gero himself.
The young man threw his head aside like he was worthless to him.
"I'm going to pulverize these stupid robots." Spoke Vegeta as he flew closer to the androids. Slowly a larger redhead from behind joined his other fellow Android twins.
"I'm Android 16." He said in a monotone voice. "This is 17 and 18."
"I don't care who you are, all I know is that you're going to be dead in about four seconds" Vegeta replied with confidence. He powered up back to a Super Saiyan and charged the black haired male android. Android 17 licked his foot up, twisting Vegeta's arm backward, causing it to break.
Vegeta felt the sudden pain shoot up to his shoulder as the android flew backward. Vegeta's hair turned back to black as the prince began to scream in horrible amounts of pain.
"FATHER!" yelled future Trunks as he flew towards the android with his sword. Piccolo followed Trunks, running into the girl as she shot one of her energy blasts at him. Piccolo felt the heat eat at his clothing, then into his skin causing him to fall in pain.
Android 17 grabbed hold of Trunk's sword, swinging him into the side of a mountain, forcing it to on top of his body.
"Anyone else want to challenge us?" asked android 18 with confidence.
"I will." Spoke a voice they all knew, one better than the others. Turning their bodies, Piccolo's eyes widen as he laid his gaze upon her. Yusagie.
"Well, you aren't a part of my data." 17 scoffed as he walked beside his sister. The twin androids stared up her, trying to analyze why they didn't know who she was.
"Good." Yusagie replied in the most severe tone before launching off her own feet at an intense speed.
Her fist cross struck android 18 in the jaw. Throwing the blonde haired beauty's small body into what was left of Dr. Gero's lab, Yusagie was too fast for her, even 17 stared in surprise.
Yusagie knew these two had to be killed one at a time. Not together, and so she focused on the girl, one blow to her chest, one after another as she slammed the android's body against the doors, 17 had to jump in, and that's where Yusagie fell short.
"They will kill you! Stop!" Screamed Piccolo to the woman who owned his child. He watched 17 side kick the Namekian female as her body slid across the ground, scraping her skin and tearing off her flesh, but that didn't stop her from getting up and re-launching herself towards the dark haired android.
Before she could reach him, in a revengous manner, Yusagie was kneed by 18 and from above, 17 dug his heels into her back. Her body fell altitudes down to earth, slamming into the ground. Her figure formed a crater large enough to hold an ocean.
Hovering above her, they all waited for Yusagie to pick herself up again, to pull her body together and fight back, but she never came back up. "Wow, she was the best challenge we had today. Anyone else now?" Said 17 as he looked at the fighters.
Piccolo was worried about her from above. Was she alive? Why didn't she get back up? 17 crossed his arms and grinned as Krillin stared in fear "Didn't think so. We're going to go find Goku. Then kill him. Don't try and follow us unless you think you're powerful enough."
Android 18 began to approach Krillin as he took a step back in fear. "Goodbye" she spoke in a seductive voice and kissed his cheek. Sweat rolled down his face as she flew off into the air with 17 and 16.
Vegeta also got off his feet and began to drift off, holding his broken arm in place. "Father." said Trunks as he got off the ground as well, then walked to his sword.
"Don't follow me!" Vegeta snapped with anger, then flew off fast into the sky alone. Trunks couldn't help but feel constantly rejected by his dad.
"He is so stubborn" Tien spoke. "I think we should all just train together, forget him."
"I want to train with my father," Stated Trunks as it was something he truly desired.
"Good luck with that" Krillin laughed. "He has a hard head." Trunks tried to ignore Krillin's negativity.
Piccolo had flown down to the earth, looking for Yusagie in the large crater, but she had been just sitting inside of it, and when she sensed him, she looked up, her eyes meeting his presence.
"What the hell were you doing? I told you I didn't want you to fight." Piccolo clenched his teeth as he hovered over her in flight, waiting for an answer. She frustrated him so much, even after a years time alone.
"You're right." Yusagie shrugged. "They are strong." She acted like her being defeated was nothing, like it was something she knew was going to happen. "I stayed down here, because after a few moment I realized, I could only beat them one on one. Not together. What I also noticed was that I was the only one who gave them a run for their money? Is that what he said?"
Yusagie's eyes narrowed at Piccolo's as he couldn't help
but raise his eyes at her. He was wrong, she was strong, but she was getting at something else.
Standing up, the green beauty flew up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. Piccolo looked away from her, he couldn't read her thoughts, but she was thinking the same thing he was. "They need a challenge, and it's not Piccolo—" She began to state until she was interrupted.
"No it's not—It's Piccolo and Kami in one." Piccolo took a deep sigh, as this was something he had been considering for a while, long before the androids came, and he was hoping this wasn't going to have to be an option.
Flying from her, he shot back up to his friends who discussed further training. Grabbing his gear he noticed the gaping hole that had been burned into it. If he couldn't dodge that as just him, how could he continue to fight? "I am going to leave you guys. We have no chance against them right now."
"Where are you going piccolo?" asked Tien.
Piccolo looked back. "don't worry about it, and please don't try and follow me or Yusagie." Powering up, he shot into the air and flew off. They watched him leave, but then saw Yusagie leave the ground as well shortly after.
