I'm glad that you like it. I was worried because I thought everyone would hate it.

Well that was good timing.

This will be a few story. I plan for Gothic to be involved with some important future events.
Cyborg Gothic
Part 5
The fight had been going on for quite some time now, when really it should have been over in a matter of seconds. Somehow the green alien dude, who was called Piccolo for some reason, had gotten a massive boost in power since we had last seen him.
However this Piccolo had not surpassed Seventeen, during the fight neither of them seemed to have really gotten the upper hand.
I knew that time would be the deciding factor in this match, because unlike the Namekian, my fellow part machine man still had vast amounts of energy were as the the alien was starting to get tired. It wouldn't be long before Piccolo made a fatal mistake.
Eighteen's twin brother had also noticed this, which was why he had a cocky smirk plastered on face. Despite having already destroy two small islands in during the battle he wasn't getting knackered.
"What's the matter green man?" Seventeen taunted. "Starting to get tired already?"
Piccolo was able to fake that he was doing okay.
"Don't worry I still have enough energy to defeat you" he said.
That was my fellow cyborg slammed his forehead into his foe's nose, and he followed that up with a knee to the Namekian's gut. Next Seventeen grabbed the back of Piccolo's head before slamming it against the ground.
It looked then as if the alien was done, however the strange being from another world somehow found the will to keep fighting, and this very much surprised the dark haired cyborg.
The moment of shock was enough of a window of opportunity for Piccolo to send 17 flying away from him, with a good uppercut to the chin.
"This still might go on for a while" I said to Eighteen and Sixteen "Its a damn shame I can't download some apps".
Neither of them got what I was taking about, so I had to wonder if they even had apps in this world. Not it would have matters as I doubted anyone could have gotten a wifi connection in such a remote place.
"Let's just watch my idiot brother" Eighteen suggested "He's bound to finish this fight sometime today".
Android Seventeen had recovered fast. He was now rushing towards the Namekian, and once more they started trading blows.
While they both had some powerful attacks I was impressed by how durable they both were, any two lesser beings would have been destroyed many times over by now.
"Hmm" Eighteen softly sighed.
I could tell she was bored, but she and I had agreed not to interfere, and I would stick to that promise as Seventeen hadn't gotten involved with my fight with Vegeta.
"You have to listen to me" the alien was now saying "There's a monster named Cell whose purpose is to absorb you and Android Eighteen".
This was not news to us.
"Yeah we've met that monster" Seventeen replied "And Gothic kicked his scaly butt without much trouble".
Actually it had been some trouble, but I saw no reason to correct my fellow Cyborg's statement.
"If he comes back then my buddy will either finish him off or I will" Seventeen declared "We know what he can do now".
Truthfully we didn't really understand what Cell was or what the creature wanted. We'd gone back to Gero's place to look for clues only to find the hidden sub lab had been destroyed.
I suspected that some of Goku's friends had beaten us to it, and that they levelled the entire mountain so as not to leave us anything we could use against them.
Which was a damn shame because now we didn't have the information we needed on Cell. We had no idea how to stop it from coming after us, or how to kill the damn thing.
"If that's how its going to be, then I guess that I'm going to have to finish you off before Cell even has the chance to absorb you" the green guy stated "I have no other choice".
Before anyone else could say or do anything I felt that cold chill again. The monster was here and the feeling was more intense than last time. The hairs on the back of my neck felt like little spikes sticking out of me.
"Hey freak, remember me?" Seventeen asked as he walked up to Cell "This time I'll be the guy who sends you packing"
I decided that I would intervene in this fight if I was needed as the abomination was a lot more dangerous then anything else we had faced.
"Ah Android Seventeen, as cocky as ever" Cell replied "But if Piccolo couldn't stand up to me, what makes you think you can?"
I wondered if the monster had somehow gotten stronger as it didn't seem at all worried about being surrounded by so many deadly foes. And my spidey sense, as I was now calling it, was still tingling my spine.
"You're kidding me right?" Seventeen asked "Green guy is nothing compared to me".
That was lie as while I was sure that Eighteen's twin brother could out last Piccolo in a fight, that was because he had more stamina, in every other aspect they were more evenly matched. However I figured this was only because the alien had a lot more fighting experience than 17.
"And you are nothing when compared to me" Cell replied "But fear not soon you shall join me in sheer perfection".
I still had no idea what that meant, however to me it sounded rather sinister. I wanted no part of Cell's perfection.
"No I won't let you!" the green guy roared.
Piccolo then grabbed Cells's tail and flung the monster away from the android with all his strength before firing quite a few energy blasts at the creature. Clearly they did not get along very well and I figured that they must have fought before.
"You're no match for him Seventeen" Piccolo warned "You need to get out of here, now".
That I agreed with.
"Eighteen" I said to the blonde cyborg "Take your brother and go. I'll deal with Cell".
If she replied I didn't know as the abomination was already back for more and I was giving the monster my full attention.
Which meant I got to watch as the horrible creature drove the green guy to the ground, then I saw the stinger on the Cell's tail aim down towards the alien, and I didn't think it was a good thing.
So I reacted at this point and used a disc of Ki energy to slice the end of the monster's tail off. However before I could do anything else Sixteen was standing between Cell and myself.
"I will not allow you absorb anyone else" the red headed machine man declared "Your existence ends now".
Sixteen was still a total mystery to me. He knew things that no one else did, and half the time he just stood around doing nothing. Then at other times he gave us useful information. Now he was actually willing to do some fighting, and I had no idea why.
"Had I not absorbed so many then maybe you would have stood a chance against me" Cell told the Android "Now you stand no chance at all!".
Without warning the monster kicked Sixteen so hard that the android actually hit the water and bounced off it like a thrown stone.
While that was going on the green guy tried to attack Cell, but the creature easily caught the flying body of the Namekian, and forced him back to the ground so hard that the whole world seemed to shake.
What was even more impressive than any of that was when Cell regrew his tail. I had so not seen that coming, and now I was worried that the abomination would be able to heal any damage done to it. Making it unstoppable.
Cell drooled slightly as its stinger started to point towards the Namekian. Anyone would think the creature was about to sit down to a twelve course meal after fasting for a week.
"I have taken so many into myself" the really, really ugly creature said "But don't worry I still have room for many more".
No part of me wanted to know how many people the monster had drank up.
"Thank you Piccolo" Cell was now saying "Your energy will help me achieve my perfect form, and I will get to see the expression on your face as your life comes to an end".
Despite all that was going on I still took a moment to decide what to do. I figured that saving the alien was the right thing to do if only to stop Cell from getting any stronger. So I leapt into action.
"Kaioken!" I once more heard myself shout.
The yell gave Cell some warning, but not enough to avoid my fists of fury. Sadly it didn't keep him down for long as my punches did no were near as much damage as they had before.
"So Android X, now that you have seen only a small glimpse of my true power, what are you going to do?" Cell asked me casually.
Well so far my plan was to keep fighting.
"Does it scare you?" Cell then inquired "Does my power frighten you?".
Despite what I had seen the monster did not scare me as I didn't think that the creature would be able absorb me. Not that I wanted to find out for certain.
On the other hand I was concered about what it would do to everyone else, but I knew that expressing that fear was not a good idea.
"Nope" I lied.
Since both Sixteen and Namekian were back up that meant the monster was outnumbered three to one. Which also meant we had a chance to win this fight.
"Well that is good. I would hate that you'd run away" Cell commented while glaring at me "After all someone should remain alive long enough to view my ascension".
Since it was best not to let the monster get any stronger I acted upon my intention to destroy it.
"Kaioken x2!" I shouted.
My power double again.
"Wait isn't that..." the green alien started to say.
The sound of me hitting Cell over and over again cut him off. Lamentably the abomination could still heal himself rather well so my attacks did little long term damage. However this just meant that I wasn't going to be able to kill the thing by myself. We might stand a chance if the three of us attacked one at time as then the creature would have no time to heal.
I was just about to suggest that course of action when I noticed that 17 and 18 were still here.
"You need to leave!" I urged them.
Neither of the twins did the smart thing.
"We can't just leave you behind" 18 said.
I had a reply to that I was to busy being shoved into the ground to make it. Cell was standing on my back, and it hurt a lot.
"Rocket Punch!" someone shouted.
A rocket propelled fist hit the monster so hard that it went out of view, and for some reason I spent a moment wondering how many islands would be levelled today. Which really should not have been my biggest concern right now so I focused on the people not the place.
"Thanks Sixteen" I said.
His reply was simple.
"You are welcome Android 21" he said.
I resisted the urge to remind everyone that I was in fact a cyborg not a robot in human form. There were a few big differences. The fully working penis being a rather important one. At least in my view.
"What was that?" the alien inquired "His fists came off".
The Namekian got no answer as we very soon had to turn our attention to Cell.
"Listen if we attack one after the other and give the thing no time to recover then we can overwhelm Cell" I told the green dude and the red headed machine man "It can only heal if we give it time too".
Thankfully everyone listened to me.
"Agreed" said Sixteen to me "I will attack Cell. Should I suffer damage then you must continue the battle without delay".
Well that was pretty much what I had wanted.
"Alright" was all Piccolo had to say on the matter "We'll work together".
I loved it when a plan came together,.
"It hardly matters" the monster said "I will...".
The thing got cut off.
"Rocket Punch!" yelled 16.
It was just as cool the second time around, and since Sixteen was on the attack I stopped using Kaioken as it was draining me.
This was okay as could hurt Cell without that level of power now that the abomination was being weakened by my robot pal.
Sadly it wasn't all in our favour. Sixteen soon found himself damaged and so that meant someone else had to take over the fight.
"You are all..." Cell said as Piccolo took his turn
For some reason the monster felt the need to threaten us even as the green guy fired his Special Beam Cannon, the attack went right threw Cell. While I knew from experience that such a wound could not kill the monster I did know that the thing would now it want to flee.
With that much damage I figured that as long as no one interfered with this fight we would between us be able to destroy the monster known as Cell before it could consume either Sixteen or Seventeen.
That was when I sensed something so powerful that my spine felt like someone had plugged a battery into it.
"Oh shit" I said.
It was Vegeta, and he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
I figured it was me.
