The next day, Mafin and Begu had decided to take a quick flight around the planet, just to see more of its wonderful sights.
They had flown over various locations, such as cities, forests, jungles, mountains, volcanoes, and canyons.
Some locations were just utterly beautiful to look at, while others...not so much.
It was now the mid-afternoon, and the boys had decided to stop and rest at a random rocky wasteland.
Begu yawned and asked Mafin,"Ready to head back now? I'm kinda starting to get a little hungry."
The Pesutorian smiled and replied, "Sure, let's head back to...
He trailed off upon seeing a mysterious cave several feet from above.
Mafin said, "That cave looks, and feels...odd. I sense multiple energies at once, and they strangely feel like...everyone at the Lookout, and Gohan."
Begu chuckled,"Look, dude, those guys are probably just training right now."
"No, as far as we've known them, they never train on the weekends. And their energies usually don't feel jumbled together."
He stroked his chin and thought,"What is this cave hiding?"
Begu then groaned, "Alright, alright! That stupid cave gives you the heebie-jeebies! Let's just blow it up and go!"
Mafin sighed and said,"Sorry Begu, but I'm curious! I kinda want to check this out."
Begu rolled his eyes in annoyance,"Fine. But this better be quick!"
Mafin smiled,"Don't worry, it will!"
The boys flew towards the cave, and walked in.
Their eyes widened as they came across a random laboratory.
They walked inside, and saw various blueprints strewn all over several large desks, as well as various tools, wires, and cybernetic parts laid out on the cold, metallic floor.
The duo also saw a row of human-sized pods, each of them labeled #9-15, and strangely, all of them appeared to be destroyed.
Begu muttered,"Yeesh, whoever was working here must've had a real fondness for robots."
Mafin nodded in agreement, "Yeah..."
The Pesutorian then immediately stopped in his tracks as he sensed the strange energy once more, and this time, it felt far closer.
He noticed a green glow that was emitting from another room, and ran towards it, with Begu trailing behind him.
Mafin and Begu arrived at the room, and both men gasped in shock as they came across an unusual sight: a fully grown woman floating in a bio-chamber filled with a green liquid.
She was a rather tall, curvaceous woman with large locks of brown hair.
Mafin, confused by the person, sensed her energy, and sure enough, the combined ki definitely belonged to her.
"Why would anyone want to combine our friends' energies into a single being?", thought Mafin aloud.
Begu said with a shrug,"I dunno. Probably just some crackpot inventor that just did it for kicks."
Mafin nodded and said,"The person responsible for all this doesn't seem to be around here anymore, so we should probably just take her with us."
Begu let out an excited laugh,"Alright! Another powerful fighter on our side!"
Mafin smiled,"Yeah, but first, we all have to introduce ourselves to one another. So let's get her out of there."
The Octorian saw a small remote control that was conveniently located on a nearby chair, as well as a bunch of clothes resting on the back of the chair.
He pressed a large black button on it, which unlocked the bottom hatch of the bio-chamber, releasing the woman, as well as the green liquid.
The woman fell to the floor, and instantly woke up.
"Wh-Where am I?", she asked herself as she slowly sat up, rubbing her head.
She saw the duo and immediately screamed at the sight of the two newcomers.
Mafin quickly approached her, exclaiming,"It's ok! It's ok! We're not going to hurt you! We just wanted to know if you're alright!"
The woman quietly replied,"I-I'm fine..." and sighed in relief.
Both men decided to sit down next to her.
She stared at the duo more closely and asked, "Are you two...aliens?
"Well, duh!", said Begu.
The woman smiled, "Fascinating. I never encountered aliens before. What are your names?"
Mafin replied, "I'm Mafin, and the purple guy next to me is my best friend Begu."
Begu happily said,"Hey-o!"
The woman nodded,"It's a pleasure to meet you two. I am Android 21."
She stood up and bowed politely towards them.
Begu whispered,"Huh, so that's why all those other pods say 9 through 15."
Mafin thought,"Then I assume that the other androids here are failed experiments. But if that's the case, where are #1 through #20?"
He was about to ponder this question further, but then Android 21 asked, "What are you two doing here? How did you find me?"
Mafin stood up and said,"I sensed your energy from outside the cave, so we followed it all the way over to this room. And that's where we found you."
He then asked,"Since this lab is abandoned, do you want to come with us? You look like you were trapped in that thing for some time."
Android 21 turned around to look at her recently opened bio-chamber.
She turned back to face Mafin, and she replied,"Oh, um...sure."
21 then nervously blushed as she realized something very important: "But, i-is it ok if I change into some clothes first? I'm currently...you know...naked..."
Mafin blushed a deep crimson upon realizing this, and nervously replied,"U-Umm, yeah, sure! W-We'll be outside waiting for you!"
He and Begu quickly walked out of the room to let Android 21 change.
The duo waited paitiently for the android.
Mafin turned to Begu and asked,"So, do you think the other androids are still out there?"
"Nah, they're all probably destroyed by now. I mean, we never saw any of them at the locations we flew around, right?", replied Begu, who let out a big yawn.
Mafin nodded and thought,"That is true. I don't recall seeing any other androids, and none of the guys ever mentioned fighting off against one, so I guess Begu might be right. Maybe #1 through #20 really are gone."
"Hey guys, I'm ready!", called out 21.
The duo saw the android quietly walking out of the cave with her new outfit.
21 wore a large lab coat over a red and blue dress, and black stockings for her arms and legs. She also wore dual golden braclets on her wrists, as well as matching hoop earrings. Plus, she donned a pair of thick rimmed glasses, and high heels that matched her dress, one red and the other blue.
Begu smirked,"Nice outfit!"
Mafin grinned,"I absolutely agree!"
Android 21 bashfully smiled and said,"Thank you."
Mafin asked,"Can you fly? Because we're about to take off to Kame House."
21 replied,"I'll see if I can do it." and concentrated for a bit.
She levitated off the edge of the cave, and smiled with delight.
The android instantly flew over to the duo, and they happily gave her a thumbs-up.
Mafin said,"Alright, guys. Let's go!"
The trio blasted off into the sky, and began flying towards their destination.
