Chapter 57: Piccolo vs Android 17

At the Tropical Islands...

Piccolo and Android 17 glared at each other.

"I don't think you know what your getting into by challenging me. Just give up."Android 17 insisted. "You can't win."

A smirk crept on Piccolo's face as Android 17 chuckled evilly.

"Very well."Android 17 said as he rolled up his sleeves. "Let's see what you got."

"Fighting this Android is gonna be tough because that would be mean I won't be able to keep an eye out for the other two."Piccolo thought. "I gotta make sure they don't attack me while my back is turned."

Piccolo glanced at Android 18 and Android 16 before looking at Android 17.

"Keep those two out of this, alright?"Piccolo warned.

"Don't worry."Android 17 assured. "Those two are only watching. This is between you and me."

"Perfect."Piccolo thought smugly. "If it is just him then I wouldn't have any problem shutting him down. I'll take out Android 17 first and then I'll get the others. If I defeat them, Cell won't have nothing to absorb and be able to become complete."

Piccolo began to focus and roared loudly as he started powering himself up.

Android 17, Android 18 and Android 16 watched the sight with blank expressions and didn't appeared to be shocked that the Namekian was powering himself up.


Outside Master Roshi's House...

"Come on!"Krillin demanded. "Something is happening out there!"

Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Master Roshi headed outside, where they saw a power up energy wave in the tropical island before it hit them lightly.

"I never seen anything like this before!"Tien said with a startled look. "The energy coming from Piccolo is incredible! Wow!"

"It's for real?"Yamcha asked.

"But his all alone out there."Master Roshi commented.

"No."Krillin answered. "Kami is with Piccolo right now. That's no ordinary energy level. It's the combined powers of Kami and Piccolo together!"

Master Roshi, Yamcha and Tien became surprised what Krillin just told them.

"Well, what do you know..."Master Roshi started.


On the Lookout...

Goku, Gohan, Chika and Minako sensed Piccolo was preparing himself to fight Android 17.

"Oh no."Mr Popo said nervously.

"Time is running out."Goku stated. "Piccolo has already started fighting."

"Whose he fighting daddy?"Gohan asked. "Is it Cell?"

"No. There is no life."Goku replied. "It must be the Androids?"

"All of them or just one?"Chika asked worriedly.

Goku didn't reply as Gohan looked at Chika.

"We gotta go and help Piccolo!"Gohan insisted.

"Yeah!"Chika shouted. "He'll need our help!"

Gohan and Chika prepared to leave, but Goku stopped them.

"Come back, you two!"Goku demanded. "We gotta complete our training! Piccolo will have to hold them off on his own! None of you are strong enough yet. The soon as all four of us finish our training, we'll go down there and help Piccolo."

"Goku is right."Minako commented firmly. "It's no use for either of you going down there. You both would just end up getting in his way."

Gohan and Chika were quiet after hearing what Goku and Minako told them.

"But both of you will become stronger than ever before."Mr Popo remarked.

Gohan and Chika nodded in respond.

The Son twins knew they weren't strong enough to help Piccolo, but they hoped their friend will be able to handle the Androids by himself.

Goku glanced at the door of the Time Chamber.

"I wonder how Vegeta and Trunks are doing."Goku thought. "I wonder if they became ascended saiyans yet. Their time is almost up. I don't think Piccolo will be able to handle the Androids on his own."


At the Tropical Islands...

The fight between Piccolo and Android 17 began with the two adversaries seemingly on par with each other for a while until Piccolo gained the upper hand and knocked Android 17 down.

Android 18 and Android 16 watched the sight quietly.

"He just beat me."Android 17 retorted as he stood up. "I must have miscalculated somewhere."

"Stay down!"Piccolo demanded and began to power up.

Piccolo unleashed a powerful attack at Android 17 to finish him up.

However when the smoke cleared, it revealed Android 17 was up in the sky and looked a bit beaten up.

"His strength is incredible."Android 17 thought and wiped the blood off his mouth.

"What's wrong?!"Piccolo shouted. "Do you need to recharge your batteries?!"

"No."Android 17 scowled. "I am not giving up."

"Good."Piccolo thought with a confident smirk. "Cause I am just getting started."


Meanwhile...

At Capsule Corporation, Dr Brief rocked Baby Trunks to sleep in his little crib as Bulma continued to work on creating a Shut Down Remote for the Androids.

"I think his asleep."Dr Brief stated.

"Great."Bulma said as she typed on the computer. "Thanks for looking after Trunks while I work on this, dad."

"Sure."Dr Brief answered. "Any luck with those plans of Android 17?"

"Yeah, but it's a lot of work."Bulma admitted as she checked on the computer screen. "I am trying to isolate the Android's main power source and then I can shut it off. The only problem is there are thousand circuits to go through."

"Don't give up."Dr Brief reminded.

"I have gone too far to give up now."Bulma stated and picked up a remote. "But I only hope this remote control can zero in the frequency of the circuits and turn them off."

However the computer screen turned red and started doing a error buzzing sound.

"What?! Hey! Stop that!"Bulma complained. "Why does Dr Gero have to make his Androids so hard to figure out! Ugh!"

Becoming frustrated at her progress, Bulma ended up waking up Baby Trunks and he started crying.

Dr Brief picked up Baby Trunks to rock him back to sleep.

"There, there."Dr Brief cooed with a smile.

Bulma let out a sad sigh as she looked at the computer's screen.

"This getting harder than I thought."Bulma sobbed.


At the Tropical Islands...

"Nice shooting, but not nice enough!"Android 17 called out.

Piccolo simply smirked before he and Android 17 continued their battle.

Piccolo fired a barrage of Scatter Shots at Android 17, only for them to have little effect.

"Impressive light show."Android 17 commented with a smile. "Do you have any other tricks you want to show me before I finish you?"

Android 18 looked at Android 16.

"Android 17 is just playing with him, why doesn't he just get over it so we can go find Goku?"Android 18 questioned.

Android 16 didn't reply as he watched the battle in the sky.

Piccolo and Android 17 charged towards each other in quick speed and continued fighting each other causing the sea waves to rise up.


Outside Master Roshi's House...

"There is a fierce battle going on, but I can't tell who is winning!"Tien said. "Is it Piccolo or the Android?!"

"I know who is going to win."Yamcha admitted. "There is no say that Android can have much power as Piccolo right now."

"Not so fast."Master Roshi instructed. "Piccolo's power is incredible. Yet we don't know how powerful the Android is."

"For all we know that Android is stronger than Piccolo."Krillin stated.


At the Tropical Islands...

The sea waves returned to normal as Android 17 spoke up.

"What a shame. Is that all you got for me?"Android 17 questioned.

"No."Piccolo sneered.

"Come on!"Android 18 shouted with a glare. "Finish him off! If you can't do it, maybe you should let someone who can! Like me!"

"Stay out of this! Can you see I am just trying to have some fun?"Android 17 questioned and looked at Piccolo. "Are you ready to begin again?"

"Yes, of course."Piccolo answered smugly.

"I have enjoyed this game."Android 17 commented. "I love to stay. But I need to find Goku and deal with him."

"Then stop talking and start fighting!"Piccolo retorted.

Piccolo charged forward and started firing energy spheres at Android 17, who easily dodged them.

"Again?"Android 17 scoffed. "You are so predictable."

Piccolo continued firing his spheres at Android 17 even though he kept dodging.

"He won't give up!"Android 17 retorted. "What a fool! He keeps on shooting! Hoping he gets lucky to hit me!"

Then Piccolo backed away and landed on a rock to perform the Hellzone Grenade.

"It's time to end this!"Android 17 stated and notice the energy spheres surrounding him in the sky. "What have you done?!"

Suddenly a realisation came to Android 17.

"He was never trying to hit me!"Android 17 thought in shock. "It was a trick all along!"

"You never expected something like this didn't you?"Piccolo questioned. "It's all over! There is no escape for you now! Your reign of terror ends today!"

Piccolo commands the energy spheres, which change from a yellow to red colour, to rapidly spin around Android 17 and inevitably rain down on him with a vicious onslaught from every direction, filling the sky with a blinding light and inflicting a massive amount of damage.

Piccolo used his Hellzone Grenade attack to finish off Android 17.

However when the smoke cleared away, it showed Android 17 was unharmed since he protected himself using his Android Barrier.

Piccolo become stunned, seeing that his attack has failed to destroy Android 17.

"No!"Piccolo denied in disbelief. "Alive still?!"

Android 17 let out a evil chuckle.

"Give up!"Android 17 insisted. "There is no way to win!"

"Well, it's not over until it's over!"Piccolo reminded angrily.

Android 17 pointed at a nearby island.

"You see that island?"Android 17 asked. "Meet me there! And we will end this game once and for all! Unless you are too afraid to go!"

Android 17 and Piccolo moved out of sight to head to the nearby island for them to continue their battle followed by Android 18 and Android 16.


On the Lookout...

Goku, Gohan, Chika and Minako continued waiting for Vegeta and Future Trunks to come out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

They all discussed if Piccolo had a chance against Android 17.

"Hey, dad."Gohan said. "Do you think Piccolo can win?"

"I don't think so, son."Goku answered. "But if could hold on much longer, he might live."

Minako looked at Chika.

"Your worried about Piccolo too, aren't you?"Minako questioned.

"Why wouldn't I be? He was one that helped me and Gohan train for a year when we were still small kids."Chika admitted with a sad look. "He is a important friend to us."

Minako looked at the younger version of her mother quietly as she remembered something her Uncle Gohan told her long ago.

"Your mum always cared about those close to her, Mina."Future Gohan's voice stated. "And she would be proud to know the warrior that you are becoming."

Minako let out a soft sigh as she looked at the door of the time chamber.

"I hope Trunks is doing well in there."Minako thought with a small frown. "Vegeta better not be giving him a hard time or else I will-"

The brunette snapped out of her thoughts causing her eyes to widen when she sensed something familiar.

"Goku, do you feel that?"Minako whispered.

"I do."Goku responded calmly.

Gohan and Chika knew straight away, who was coming for Piccolo.

"It's Cell!"Gohan commented.

"He must be coming for Piccolo, right daddy?"Chika asked.

"Yes, Chika."Goku agreed. "I'm afraid so and I know how you both feel. It should me down there instead of Piccolo."


At the Tropical Island...

Piccolo and Android 17 continued carrying on their huge battle.

They continue to fight, knocking each other into the ground and into cliffs, making huge craters in the Earth.

The two warriors take a brief rest and stared at each other.

"Not bad for an Android of an early model like yourself."Piccolo scoffed.

"You don't know what your talking about! I am the ultimate Android!"Android 17 retorted. "Nothing is more powerful than me!"

A evil smirk grew on Android 17's face.

"I get it. Your trying to mess with my head."Android 17 replied smugly. "Yes. Your trying to make me think your stronger than me. When your actually the one that is getting warned down."

Piccolo and Android 17 slowly caught their breaths as they stared at each other.

"This is game is much more difficult than I thought."Android 17 admitted. "But it fascinates me with no end. I am learning a lot from you, Piccolo."

Piccolo became alarmed when he sensed something causing him to look to his right.

The Namekian warrior began to look fearful and terrified as he had seen something.

The three Androids looked over the direction as well to follow Piccolo's gaze.

There, up on a cliff, stood Cell, looking down at his enemies.

"Delightful."Cell chuckled evilly. "What a momentous occasion. A day for the history books for sure. The completion of my being and a dawn of a new age."


Now Cell has arrived in the fight scene...
