Chapter #20

Super Android 13?!

Nail held the bodies of the deceased soldiers. Slug finally emerged to show himself, "Why you are a rare specimen. Being able to kill my henchman is no small feat."

Slug smiled, "Are you ready to begin, Namekian?"

Nail was already upon him, firing a barrage of punches and kicks that hurt the vile Super Namekian's arm to block. Slug attempted to punch Nail, but the other Namekian quickly landed a powerful blow to his skull. The Super Namekian leapt back and wiped off purple blood, "Interesting, your power is beyond Frieza's as well,"

A dark aura emanated off of Slug, "I can finally use my full power against someone."

Nail armed himself, but Slug had already sent a bone-crushingly powerful kick. The Namekian gasped for breath, but Slug was already upon him. This time, Nail caught the kick and landed with his own that directly struck Slug's chest. Both Namekians were showing off an absolutely dazzling display. Slug leapt back and fired three ki blasts to get on the defensive. Nail, noticing this, batted the ki blasts away, and was behind Slug with speed so quick that Slug never had time to react to the kick that sent him flying back.

Slug panted, touching his back, "You bastard…YOU BASTARD!"

Nothing could prepare Nail for the breath-taking blow that sent him flying back. As Nail flew back, Slug elbowed his ribs, causing his fellow Namekian to gasp in shock. The two Namekians were nearly equally matched, but Slug had a slight advantage in power. However, Nail had noticed something, 'He's not used to combat. One slight injury and he's attacking as though his life depends on it.'

This notice proved to be true, as Slug attempted to attack Nail, but was met with such a powerful gut punch that he coughed out purple blood. Nail wasted no time, and sent a kick directly to Slug's jaw. The evil Super Namekian was becoming frustrated, "Impossible! How can I be losing!?"

Nail powered up, "Face it, it's over."

Slug powered up as well. His violet aura took an even darker hue as he yelled, "Take this!"

Nail charged up as well, "Mystic Cannon!"

Two beams met, violet and cerulean. The two attacks both trembled with incredible power, threatening to kill both Nail and Slug. Nail struggled for a bit, 'He's got the upper hand!'

Apparently Slug noticed this as well, because he put much more pressure in the attack of his beam. Nail felt his foot cause track-marks on the Namekian ground. His body began to strain, screaming in protest. Nail yelled, "NOT YET!"

He pushed his beam so that it sent Slug's back. The two beams were now equal once again, with each Namekian taking slight advantages in the battle that lasted only momentarily. Now, all of Nail's muscles and ligaments began to scream with pain. Nail panted, "No…the lives of the Namekians depend on this!"

In a gargantuan effort, he pushed even more power into the beam, so that it repelled Slug's. The evil Namekian's eyes revealed his surprise as Nail's beam pushed Slug's straight into him. A magnificent explosion occurred mid-air, and Nail allowed himself only a few moments rest. However, he instantly got into a defensive battle stance, 'It's not over yet.'

Slug rushed at Nail, his body horribly bruised. The Namekian attempted to punch Nail, but the combat experience of the other Namekians allowed Nail to block the attack and deal his own blow to Slug's abdomen. The Namekian went back, "Damn you…damn you."

Nail smirked, "Why aren't you regenerating? Too proud?"

Slug powered up, his aura literally shrieking with rage, "I traded that ability away for more power!"

Nail frowned, "A costly mistake."

However, Slug's size began to grow rapidly, and immediately Nail knew that he was taking strength over speed. Nail armed himself, "Mystic Cannon!"

The beam hit Slug's chest, but the injury wasn't nearly as severe as it would have been had Slug been smaller. Slug yelled, "ENOUGH OF THIS BATTLE NAMEK! THIS FIGHT ENDS NOW!"

Nail yelled, "I am empowered by the righteousness of the Namekians! You are powered only by your greed for more power!"

However, a bone-crushing punch dared to prove him wrong. Nail's jaw dropped as he felt his ribs give away easily. Purple blood met the tip of Nail's mouth as he was launched back. The Namekian coughed and retched, clutching his ribs. Slug laughed, "Not so righteous now, are you?"

Nail panted, but regenerated the wound, "I can take him; I just need to be able to not take an attack like that again."

When he spoke, Slug fired another blow, but Nail dodged it easily. He fired another Mystic Cannon at Slug's eyes, and then reached over to grab Slug's legs. The Super Namekian gave a yell of fear and anger. Nail picked Slug up over his head, and threw the Namekian down. Slug yelled in pain as he began to shrink back to his normal size.

Slug panted, he was pathetic now, and he had been bested easily. Two beams flew out of his eyes, but with little success. Nail caught the beams easily and destroyed them into streams of ki, "It's useless now. You're too weakened to do anything."

The Namekian refused to believe it, "No…no…"

Nail growled, "I told you, it's all over."

"No, impossible!" an aura of violet rage encircled Slug once again.

Nail raised an eyebrow, "Hmph, does he ever quit?"

The righteous Namekian was behind Slug before he could react. Slug's arm was instantly snapped off, and Nail threateningly charged up a ki blast next to Slug's body. Slug growled, "Damn it…damn it."

Before Slug could say any more, Nail yelled, "Mystic Cannon!"

The beam completely eradicated Slug's torso, destroying the Namekian's body entirely. Nail panted, "Well then, that took more effort than expected."

He telepathically relayed the message to Moori, who was delighted and invited Nail to stay. Nail however, had other things in mind, and told Moori that he needed to go back to Earth. While he was on the spaceship however, a flash passed in his mind.

THUMP!

"You have many Namekians in your body, but I possess power greater than that of Majin Buu's! Come at me!" yelled the creature he could not see.

THUMP!
A deep voice rang out, sounding like Piccolo's and yet different in some way, "I shall send you to oblivion demon! I will defeat you, for the good of the Earth!'

THUMP!

Nail clutched his head, screaming in pain as the vision ended. The Namekian slowly got back to his senses, "That vision…what did it mean?"

Ignoring the growing feel of unease that crept onto him, Nail entered the coordinates for Earth. The spaceship flew back as Nail grinned, "Here I come Androids."

Frost's Spaceship…

"How do we know that #13 can help us succeed?" asked Frost.

Froze nodded, "Indeed Polar, I am skeptical about this…doctor's creations."

Polar responded, "I've checked into the records. #13 isn't more powerful in his base state, but he has a fail-safe 'Super' mode that places his power to an incredible height."

Froze stretched his arms, "At any case, we should put an Arcosian to ensure victory. Perhaps Yuki?"

Frost nodded, "Yes, we shall place Yuki. Give the Earth warriors two days to rest; I admire bravery and power, unlike Frieza."

Froze didn't agree with the decision, but nodded nonetheless, "Very well my lord. We will wait two days to send the forces."

Earth…

Vegeta yelled, "Get back up! We're not done with training yet!"

Trunks struggled back up in the gravity room magnified to 500X Earth's normal gravity. His Ascended Super Saiyan shone through the chamber, but the problem was that Vegeta had the power of the Ascended Super Saiyan nearly mastered. However, before he could say, "Kadoodles," he was knocked back again with a solid punch in the ribs.

Trunks coughed out blood while Vegeta yelled, "Pathetic! I expected more from a son of mine!"

Vegeta's son from the future began to crawl himself back up, "This isn't training! It's straight up domination!"

Vegeta scoffed, "Then stop being dominated."

He sent another kick to Trunks, but this time he caught it. Trunks knocked Vegeta back with a jab to the face, but the prince recovered easily. Vegeta was behind Trunks before he knew it, and landed an incredibly powerful blow to Trunks's spine.

The son of the Prince coughed out blood as he reverted back to his base form. Seeing this, Vegeta immediately turned the gravity down so that Trunks wouldn't be crushed by the amazing intensity of 400X. He grabbed a towel and reverted back to his base form as well. The prince was angry, he felt as though he had reached a limit to his powers. He had almost mastered the Ascended Super Saiyan transformation, and was so used to it that he could use it as casually as his base from. However, he felt a feeling that there was more. A power greater than this ascension of the Super Saiyan.

Vegeta pressed his back against the seat, 'What is this other power? Is there an ascension even beyond?'

The Saiyan clutched his head; it hurt his brain to even think that he had not reached the pinnacle of Saiyan power. Vegeta growled, "I must train myself even further. This power…it's not enough."

Goku's House…

Goku smiled, "How about we go for a spar Piccolo?"

The Namekian raised an eyebrow at this out-of-the-ordinary request. He had just been there to train Gohan, but a spar against Goku was tempting. Piccolo smiled, "Sure."

Goku grinned, "Yahoo! Let's go Piccolo!"

The Namekian nodded, and stretched his arms instantly to attempt to attack Goku. The Saiyan's carefree attitude quickly disappeared in the fight, and he knocked back Piccolo's arms. However, the Namekian was behind Goku before the Saiyan even realized it, and sent a bone-crushing kick to his face. Piccolo was behind Goku and kicked him back. The Namekian growled, "Tch, being with these guys really has grown on me. Now I'm pathetically soft."

Goku was behind Piccolo again, and this time attempted a roundhouse kick. Piccolo blocked the attack and punched Goku in the jaw. The Saiyan spat out blood and smiled, "Get ready."

A yellow aura surrounded him, causing him to be a beacon in the environment. Piccolo was immediately attacked with a punch, but the Namekian blocked the blow. Before Goku could react, he was knocked into the floor by Piccolo. The Namekian smirked, "Take this…Demon Explosive Wave!"

The blast surprised the Super Saiyan and caught him off guard. The smoke emerged, with Goku having his clothes ragged, "Whew Piccolo, you're really impressive!"

Goku powered up, "Ka-me-ha-me…"

Piccolo prepared a beam as Goku stood into his signature pose, "HA!"

The two beams met in mid-air, but Goku's Kamehameha had the advantage. Piccolo's eyes widened in shock as Goku's wave overpowered him. The Namekian panted, and in the smoke emerged Goku, who landed a solid blow to Piccolo's cheek. Piccolo wiped off blood, only to be kneed straight in the ribs.

Piccolo smiled, "Heh, I've been wanting to test out this new technique. You can thank your friends for teaching me it."

Goku raised an eyebrow and got himself into a combat stance. White aura surrounded Piccolo, suddenly replaced by crimson when the Namekian yelled, "Kaioken!"

The Super Saiyan's eyes widened in shock as Piccolo was behind him before he realized it. A solid kick sent him flying back, but Piccolo was already in front of him, preparing another blow. Goku barely blocked this one, and immediately transformed into an Ascended Super Saiyan. Now, Goku had the advantage once again, and a kick in the ribs and punch in the spine showed this. Piccolo panted as he felt his energy slowly drain away, "KAIOKEN…TIMES…THREE!"

The crimson aura swirled again as Piccolo quickly overpowered Goku, sending the Ascended Super Saiyan flying everywhere. Goku landed on the ground, readying himself for another attack. However, Piccolo was clutching his arm in evident pain, "Damn it…I've exerted myself too much."

Tien nodded, "Take it easy, the Kaioken takes time to master."

Goku reverted back to his base form, "Whew Piccolo! That was really impressive! I didn't expect you to match up to my Ascended Super Saiyan form!"

Piccolo smirked, "Heh, I've finally caught up to you."

For some reason, the Namekian felt no hatred towards the humans and Goku, despite himself wanting to. He couldn't…they had done much more for him than his father had, and had helped impact him a lot more. Piccolo sighed, and then loose a small smile.

Two days later…

Frost grinned, "So it is finally time."

Froze nodded, "Yes Lord, we shall send #13, #14, and #15 to the battlefield along with Yuki. We have upgraded #13 with the Big Gete Star technology as you requested, and have enhanced the abilities of all three Androids. We have also put Yuki in the X-Core as you wished."

Frost nodded, "Make sure that this time we don't fail."

Earth…

Vegeta sensed the energy signature of an Ice-jin, "This must be their second attack, along with three Androids. Tch, they must be really confident in the abilities of these Androids if they're sending them alone to kill all of us."

He powered up to a Super Saiyan, "This had better be exciting."

Next to him was Trunks, who groaned and transformed as well, speeding behind his father.

Mountains…

Yuki laughed as she destroyed another mountain easily with a Death Beam. Next to her, Android #13 complained, "Where's Son Goku? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Suddenly, Android #14 spoke, "Son Goku detected along with his allies."

Android #15 smirked, "Finally, some fun."

Goku landed, already in his Super Saiyan form. Beside him landed Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu, Nail, Vegeta, and Trunks. Vegeta laughed when he saw the stature of #15, "Hah! Is this what we've come here to fight against?"

Yuki stared at the Super Saiyans, her purple eyes giving a piercing gaze. Her body was covered with imperial body armor to cover her breasts. However, she was already in her final form, and her power demanded authority; being greater than Tesla's and almost at the level of Cold. Trunks narrowed his eyes, "They've brought an Arcosian with them too."

Yuki raised an eyebrow, "Too?"

She immediately fired a Death Beam that forced Trunks to leap up to avoid. The Super Saiyan youth reached for his sword and attempted to strike Yuki. However, the Arcosian was nimble and dodged the attack. Yuki then kicked Trunks across the face into a mountain. Vegeta clenched his fist and powered up. Before Yuki knew it, she had been punched in the ribs. Vegeta smirked, until #14 suddenly intervened with a powerful punch that knocked him back.

Vegeta smiled, "You wanna fight? Well too can play at that game!"

He powered up as he engaged #14 in combat. Piccolo gazed at #15, "I guess you are my opponent."

#15 drank from his small flask and smiled, "Piccolo detected. Let's go."

That left Goku with #13, and the Z Fighters with Yuki. The battles were immediately separated, with each of the Z Fighters fighting their opponents. Nail nodded to Trunks, "You should help Goku against #13; I have a bad feeling about him."

Trunks nodded as he flew off. Yuki attempted to fire a Death Beam, but Nail deflected the ray, "Your fight is against us, demon."

Yuki yawned in mock annoyance, "Very well, entertain me Earthlings."

Tien nodded towards Krillin and yelled, "Let's go!"

The human powered up, "Kaioken X17!"

He felt the familiar rush of the Kaioken strain as he dealt a solid punch to Yuki's jaw. However, the female Arcosian quickly recovered and slammed her foot into Tien's chest, causing a brutal kick that led to the human coughing out blood. However, Nail was directly behind her, "Mystic Cannon!"

The beam was fired at point-blank range, with no time for Yuki to dodge. Nail panted, "She's still alive."

Yuki was in front of Nail before he realized it, "Cowardice…will…be…PUNISHED!"

Nail's eyes widened as she dealt a bone-crushing blow to his ribs, smashing them. The Namekian coughed out blood, "How?!"

Krillin yelled, "Taiyoken!"

The light blinded Yuki, and he took this chance to yell, "Kaioken X10 Kienzan!"

Yuki was cut, but not in half. Her body still remained intact, but a deep cut had emerged in her waist area, "DAMN YOU HUMAN!"

She fired a Death Beam at Krillin's chest, and the human had no time to react. Nail leapt in front of him, and smiled sadly as he felt the beam pierce his chest. Gohan, who had been watching this all in horror, finally snapped, "No…"

Yuki noticed him for the first time, "So the timid little boy finally said something."

Gohan's eyes slowly turned emerald and his hair began to stand up, "No…"

Yuki laughed, "Super Saiyan or not, you still can't defeat me."

"NOOOOOOOO!" Gohan had reached the breaking point of a Saiyan. His hair now turned yellow, and erect. The Super Saiyan's eyes were a piercing emerald that threatened to kill Yuki.

Krillin smiled, but Tien knew better, "Nail's still more powerful than Gohan is right now. We had a bigger loss than a victory, but now we might pull this off."

Tien yelled with slightly renewed confidence, "Kaioken X15 Kikoho!"

The Tri-Beam slammed into Yuki, serving as an annoyance but an effective one, "Super Masenko!" was the yell that Tien had been hoping for.

Yuki was sandwiched between the two devastating beams, and Krillin and Yamcha both joined in, "Kaioken X10 Kamehameha!"

Nail began to wobble up, his energy almost used up entirely from that grievous wound. Yuki began screaming in rage, "How dare you all injure me! Psycho Barrier!"

The shield deflected the beams and left Yuki much less harmed than what would have happened had she took the four beams. Nail murmured weakly to Krillin, "Senzu…Bean."

Krillin nodded and gave the Namekian a Senzu Bean. Yuki glared, "Ah yes, you Namekians and your regeneration abilities."

Nail staggered up, "This time Ice-jin, I have the intention of ending you."

Yuki raised an eyebrow, "Very well, since you have amused me, allow me to demonstrate to you a form beyond our original form."

Gohan yelled, "She's accessing the transformation that Cooler used!"

Tien powered up, "Not good! Kaioken X20 Kikoho!"

However, it was too late. The Tri-Beam hit a barrier that protected Yuki. When she emerged, she looked almost identical to Cooler, with a much more feminine leer. She aimed a Death Beam at Tien, "Good luck dodging this human."

Tien powered up, "Urrgghhh! KAIOKEN….TIMES…23!"

The crimson aura allowed Tien to dodge the first five Death Beams, but they just kept on coming. Eventually, one struck Tien's shoulder, causing the Kaioken aura to disappear. Tien clenched his arm in evident pain.

Yuki laughed, "Not so speedy now are you human?!"

A surprise blow from an enraged Super Saiyan Gohan struck the side of her face. However, Yuki recovered and kneed Gohan, "Meddling boy."

She threw the young Saiyan and charged a violet ball of energy, "Get ready,"

Nail powered up, "Everybody, give it everything you've got!"

Krillin and Yamcha both yelled, "Kaioken X10 Kamehameha!"

Next to them, Nail charged up a blue ball of energy, "Mystic Cannon!"

Yuki crackled with laughter, "All the more fun! Violet Destroyer!"

Gohan clenched his stomach, "Not even the power of a Super Saiyan is enough…"

Elsewhere…

Vegeta landed on the ground, "Hmph, I was looking forward to fighting your leader. But I guess I'll deal with him after I'm done with you."

#14 muttered, "Vegeta, my data shows that you are no match for #13."

Vegeta powered up to an Ascended Super Saiyan, "Well then, let's see how well you fare against me."

However, #14 already delivered a quick kick. Vegeta blocked the blow, "Impressive…#20 certainly wouldn't have been so fast."

With a sudden movement, Vegeta gave a roundhouse kick to #14's jaw. The Android flew back into a mountain, leading Vegeta to yawn in disappointment, "Is that all?"

However, three ki blasts answered his question. The Ascended Super Saiyan dodged them easily. However, to his surprise, the ki blasts followed him. Vegeta powered up, and fired three ki blasts of his own that destroyed the ki balls. However, this gave #14 the distraction it needed. The next thing Vegeta felt was a solid and powerful blow to his cheek. The Ascended Super Saiyan prevented himself from hitting the mountain, but wiped off blood from his mouth, "Impressive, so you're made of sterner stuff than I had thought."

#14 was already flying towards him to deal another blow, but Vegeta dodged the attack and pressed his boot against #14's chest. He gave a roar as he used all of his might to propel #14 back into a mountain. Vegeta smirked, "I haven't gotten to use this technique in a long while…Gallic…," a purple ball of energy that threatened to destroy formed in his cupped hands, "GUN!"

He fired the beam straight at #14, whose eyes widened in alarm. The Android attempted to futilely protest by waving its hands in an attempt to fire a blast. The beam hit #14 directly, causing a massive explosion that engulfed the entire battlefield. Vegeta scoffed, "Still clinging on to life, are you?"

A hand that gripped the crater answered him. #14 emerged, its body crudely weakened. Almost half of its body had been burnt off and nearly destroyed. Vegeta laughed, "Really, is that all you mechanic dolls can do?"

Sensing the taunt, the provoked #14 charged towards Vegeta and dealt two solid punches, one to his cheek and one to his stomach. #14 proceeded to unleash an onslaught of combos that knocked the Saiyan prince around. Vegeta finally caught a punch and growled. He kicked #14 back, and was behind the Android before it could fully react. The Saiyan used a powerful thrash that knocked the Android back several meters.

The proud prince wiped off drips of blood that emerged out of his mouth. The Ascended Super Saiyan didn't allow himself any rest. He immediately went for a brutal uppercut that sent #14 staggering back. As though that wasn't enough, he kicked the robot straight in the chest, "Hmph, you can't even get me to use my full power."

#14 growled, "Impossible, the saiyan known as Vegeta does not have a form beyond this in power."

Vegeta sneered, "Oh what did you use, outdated technology? I'm saving my true strength for your leader: #13."

#14 immediately had a crimson ball of energy within its hand, "I will make you use this new form then."

Vegeta was already prepared for this situation. He put his hands in a claw-like position, as though he was a tiger showing off his claws. A yellow sphere of energy crackled in his hands, threatening to destroy the planet. Yellow lightning peppered the ball as Vegeta yelled, "Take this, Final Flash!"

Android #14 yelled as well, "Red Ribbon Cannon!"

The two beams collided, causing a massive outburst of energy to shake the planet. Vegeta's temples revealed the strain that was being caused and showed that he was using his full power. #14 didn't have any visible signs of stress, but a fighting genius like Vegeta could tell that it was using its full power as well.

Both fighters demonstrated godly stamina, with neither giving in despite the strain put on their ligaments and muscles. Vegeta gave a behemoth-like yell as he transformed. His muscles bulged instantly, and the loss in speed was not consequential in the beam-struggle. Vegeta smirked, "This is the power of an…ULTRA SUPER SAIYAN!"

Vegeta's Final Flash sent #14's beam straight to the Android. The last expression the Android showed was one of fear. A massive explosion showed the Android's defeat. Vegeta panted, "Tch, I can't use all my energy now."

He reverted back into his base form, ready to join Kakarot in the fight against #13.

Two hours ago…

Piccolo cracked his neck, "So I'm fighting you eh?"

#15 responded, "Data shows that this is Piccolo."

"Of course I'm Piccolo," the Namekian scoffed, "Who else would I be?"

#15 smiled, "You're no match for me Piccolo; I've passed your echelon a long time ago."

Piccolo raised an eyebrow in mock surprise, "Oh have you now? Want a trophy for that?"

#15 was already rushing towards the Namekian. Piccolo barely dodged the first blow, and but was hit by the second. The Namekian coughed out a splash of purple blood as #15 smirked, "Is that all?"

Piccolo wiped off the purple blood, and then grinned, "Did you pick up data on a certain technique I've learned?"

#15 raised an eyebrow, "Try any technique. Makankosappo, Explosive Demon Wave…I've got recordings and details of all of those."

Piccolo smirked, "Heh, then I suppose that you didn't know that I could use this…KAIOKEN!"

Immediately, a crimson aura surrounded Piccolo. #15 was paralyzed in shock, and didn't even see the right hook that sent it flying back several meters. Piccolo was behind #15 before the Android knew it, and with a swift punch, knocked off the Android's hat. #15 growled, "You're troublesome, I'll give you that."

Piccolo powered up, "I'm just getting started. I can take this even further…Kaioken X3!"

#15 blocked the first attack by Piccolo's newly found power, but the Namekian was too much for it. #15 gasped as it felt an incredibly powerful kick. The Android growled, "How?!"

Piccolo was behind him, "What do you mean 'how?!'"

#15 turned its head in shock as a quick jab sent it flying back. Piccolo panted, "My Kaioken's running out already. Tch, I'll have to distract it long enough for my power to come back."

Piccolo felt the enhanced vision, power, and speed disappear suddenly as the Kaioken faded. #15 saw this and wasted no time in firing a barrage of ki blasts. Piccolo deflected them and growled, "I can't afford to use any ki blasts; my energy's too low. I need to regain energy for the Kaioken."

He stretched his arms out, attempting to go on the defensive while still maintaining a strong offense. #15 yelled, "You're not getting away after what you did to me Piccolo!"

The Namekian gasped in shock as an incredibly powerful head-butt struck him directly in the chest. Piccolo swung around quickly and attempted a round-house kick. However, #15 caught it with ease, and fired a ki blast at point-blank range.

Piccolo emerged with ragged clothes, "Tch, I can't keep this up for long."

He knew that regenerating would take too much energy, so he tried his best to utilize the Kaioken again, "Kaioken…Times…4!"

The power of the Kaioken flowed through his veins as he vanished and then reappeared behind #15 instantly. The short Android's eyes widened in shock as Piccolo sent a powerful right jab that sent it flying. Piccolo smirked, "Time to end this…Kaioken X5 Explosive Demon Wave!"

The Explosive Demon Wave, combined with the Kaioken X5, threatened to hold enough power to destroy Earth. Apparently #15 saw this too, but the small Android couldn't do anything against the incredible speed at which the beam moved. In an instant, #15 was destroyed. However, Piccolo's energy was gone as well, and he fainted in overexertion of his body. Before he fell down he felt a shake of energy over the world, "Heh, good luck."

Thirty minutes ago…

Goku growled, "So you're the 'leader' of the last Androids?"

#13 sneered, "I know for sure that I'm the strongest."

Goku instantly powered up to the level of an Ascended Super Saiyan, "Let's test that theory, shall we?"

#13 entered a battle stance, but Trunks interrupted the two. He powered up into an Ascended Super Saiyan as well and nodded to Goku, "I'm here to help."

The Android gave a cold laugh, "Hah! It'll take more than that to defeat me."

Goku nodded towards Trunks, and without warning rushed towards #13 to attempt a powerful knee. The knee was caught by #13, who didn't hesitate to blast Goku's chest with his beam. The Saiyan gave a yell of pain, but Trunks appeared behind Goku to land a powerful slash to #13's chest. The slash revealed mechanic parts inside of #13's chest, but the Android merely grinned as the technology of the Big Gete Star regenerated its wound. Trunks's eyes widened in shock, but a sharp knee threw him back to his senses.

Goku smirked; Android #13 was a worthy challenge that caused his Saiyan blood to boil. Yellow aura danced around Goku as he powered up. This time, using Instant Transmission, he caught #13 by surprise. The Android's eyes widened in shock as Goku sent a kick that knocked it several feet back. #13 fell onto the iceberg, as did its hat. Goku didn't give #13 an opportunity to react, and blasted a Kamehameha at the Android's face immediately. The blue wave shimmered and faded as #13 emerged from the mountain, regenerating.

#13 sneered, "Just what'd I expect from you Goku."

Goku panted, "Damn…this guy's on a completely different level from the others."

Trunks powered up, "We can beat him if we work together Goku."

Goku nodded, "Together now! Ka-me-ha-me…"

Trunks yelled, "Buster Cannon!"

Goku yelled, "HAAA!"

The two beams did not go unnoticed by #13, "Super Red Ribbon Cannon!"

#13's crimson beam had a surpringsly high amount of power. Goku panted, "Incredible! Such strength for an Android!"

#13's beam slowly began to repel the Kamehameha and Buster Cannon combo. Tracks were left as the Super Saiyans struggled. Goku yelled, "Trunks, we need to push and give it everything we've got!"

Trunks nodded, and the renewed effort slowly pushed #13's beam back. The Android widened its eyes as it felt the combined power of a Kamehameha and a Buster Cannon fired by two Ascended Super Saiyans. The Android yelled in pain.

#13 emerged with visible wounds. The Big Gete Star began to regenerate the wounds as the two Ascended Super Saiyans panted with effort. #13 smirked, "Goku, this is the end. You did well though."

A red beam of energy began charging on the Android's fingertips. Effortlessly, #13 fired it, sending Goku flying back into a mountain. Trunks growled and reached for his sword, ready to deflect any energy beams that the Android would use.

Meanwhile…

Yuki was dominating. The Z Fighters were in states with battered bruises and were bleeding everywhere. Tien struggled up, "Krillin, give Nail, Gohan, and I Senzu Beans."

Krillin nodded and threw the bag of Senzu Beans to Tien. Yuki laughed in her chilling voice, "Nuh uh uh! You're not healing back up."

She attempted a Death-Beam, but a Full Nelson lock from behind stopped her. She turned around, shocked, and gazed into the eyes of the Super Saiyan Nappa. The Arcosian gave a yelp of shock as the Super Saiyan jabbed her across the face. Nappa sneered, "Didn't expect this I bet."

Raditz was behind him, "Tch, I'll get Super Saiyan soon enough."

Nappa smiled, "Sure you will. Volcanic Storm!"

He put two fingers up and the Earth began to shake. Bursts of energy popped out of the ground, hitting Yuki directly. Nail yelled, "Now's our chance, Mystic Cannon!"

"Kaioken X10 Kikoho!"

"Super Masenko!"

The beams rammed into Yuki and caused the Arcosian to give a banshee-like screech of pain. The body of Yuki incinerated within the heat and power of the beams and the Z Fighters gave a yelp of victory. Nappa growled, 'I can't kill them all right now…they'll outnumber and overpower me, even with Super Saiyan. Tch, I'll wait later.'

He and Raditz both flew away without another word.

Elsewhere…

Another punch sent Trunks flying back into a mountain. Android #13 was almost unbeatable. Normally, the combined efforts of the two Ascended Super Saiyans would have defeated any foe easily, but #13 was a special case. With the Big Gete Star technology, #13 was almost unbeatable, and easily the strongest foe both Trunks and Goku had faced so far. Suddenly, a golden figure exploded from the sky and used his weight to knock #13 down. The Android gave a yelp of surprise as the muscular figure of Vegeta's Ascended Super Saiyan form crushed its spine.

Vegeta smirked, "That's all? That piece of junk was what was giving you so much trouble?"

#13 stood up and regenerated the wound, to Vegeta's surprise. The Saiyan was tossed back as #13 growled, "More of you maggots to dispose of."

Suddenly, #13 realized something, "#14 and #15 have both been destroyed eh? Well then, I can have some fun here."

Almost magnetically, the data-chips of #14 and #15 flew to #13 out of nowhere. They entered its ear and then its breasts. All of a sudden, a massive violet burst of energy caused all three Ascended Super Saiyans to cover their eyes. When they opened their eyes, the former form of #13 was gone. Instead, it was a buff, blue alien-like monstrosity with a widow peak colored orange. The Android's yellow eyes hungered for destruction, and it gave a bellowing yell, "GGGGOOOOOKKKKUUUUU!"

Goku prepared himself, but nothing could save him from the blow that sent blood pouring out of his mouth. The Ascended Super Saiyan gave a growl of surprise as the blow knocked him back into three mountains. Super Android #13 yelled, "Goku, you're not escaping from me!"

Trunks yelled, "You let your guard down!"

He aimed his sword at a seemingly open area of #13's back. However, to his surprise, the sword didn't even make a small cut. #13 gazed at Trunks with anger, and the Ascended Super Saiyan gulped. With a punch that felt like the equal of 10 tons of weight for a human, #13 knocked Trunks back as well. Vegeta smirked, "So you're above the level of an Ascended Super Saiyan eh? Well I sure am lucky to have trained to achieve this power."

His muscles bulged as Vegeta entered the Ultra Super Saiyan transformation. The Saiyan felt his speed become greatly reduced by the muscle mass, but #13, oblivious to Vegeta's power, waited for the Saiyan to come towards him. Vegeta aimed a punch that #13 expected would tickle. However, the force of the blow sent #13 flying into a mountain. Vegeta flew up to the skies, "SUUPPPPEEERR…GAAAALLLLIIICCCCC….GUN!"

The violent purple beam of energy destroyed the mountain that #13 had been knocked in to. However, the Big Gete Star technology once again regenerated #13's wounds. Vegeta growled, "Damn it, what does it take to kill you?"

#13 didn't want to make the same mistake, and was behind Vegeta. The Ultra Super Saiyan reacted by blocking the Android's first blow. Even with the power of the Ultra Super Saiyan, #13's blow stung brutally. #13 fired another blow, this time at Vegeta's abdomen. The Saiyan let out a spit of blood as he clutched his stomach in pain. This Android #13 was incredibly formidable. #13 took advantage of Vegeta's immobility and slammed his leg across his face.

Goku panted, "Vegeta's power has gone up tremendously! But his speed…"

Apparently Vegeta noticed this too, because he sweated with frustration, 'Damn, I ascended to a whole new level, only to have it outmatched in speed!'

Years of fighting had not gone wasted on Vegeta, he growled, 'I'll have to phase through the Ascended Super Saiyan form for speed, and the Ultra Super Saiyan form for power.'

Vegeta felt his muscle mass decrease as he reverted into an Ascended Super Saiyan. He was behind #13 quickly, but the Super Android was faster. #13 knocked his fist across Vegeta's jaw, and without the protective cushion of the Ultra Super Saiyan, it hurt all the more. Vegeta panted, "Kakarot! There's no way I can take him alone!"

The aid of the Z Fighters came suddenly, with multiple beams clashing into #13. The Super Android yelled in frustration and pain before he fired a kiai wave that sent all of the Z Fighters (excluding Piccolo, who wasn't there) flying back. Goku gave a weak grin, "Heh, any of you guys got a technique that I don't know about?"

Yamcha and Krillin both looked at Tien, who nodded, "King Kai taught us more than the Kaioken, but I was the only one who mastered the Spirit Bomb."

Goku panted, "Spirit Bomb? Are you sure it can destroy the Android?"

Tien nodded, "Yes, but you'll need to distract the Android so I can charge it up."

Goku powered up and felt his aura roar with power, "We'll take care of that."

He zoomed off the ground with his Ascended Super Saiyan aura. #13 yelled, "Goku!"

The first punch knocked the breath out of the Ascended Super Saiyan. Goku panted as he felt his ribs give way, this would be harder than he thought. A familiar cry entered Goku's ears, "FINNAAALLLL FFFFLLLAAAAASSSSHHHHH!"

A beam of yellow energy leapt out of the ground. Goku flew back as a reflex when he saw the beam consume #13. #13 emerged with a major area of its torso destroyed, but regenerated quickly due to the power of the Big Gete Star. Vegeta panted, and reverted to an Ascended Super Saiyan in an attempt to dodge #13's blow. The Saiyan quickly shifted back into an Ultra Super Saiyan and dealt a bone-crushing punch to #13's stomach. Vegeta spun around and kicked the side of #13's face, sending the Android flying back. The Ultra Super Saiyan panted, "Hurry up Triclops! I can't keep this up forever!"

Tien was charging the Spirit Bomb, 'People of the Earth, raise your hands and lend me your energy!'

#13 turned its attention to Tien, and with a behemoth-like growl, rushed towards him. However, the Android was intercepted again by Vegeta, who kicked it and smirked, "You're not going anywhere."

#13 roared and smacked Vegeta across the face. The Saiyan was sent flying back as he coughed out blood. #13 powered up an energy ball, "S.S. Deadly Bomber!"

The crimson energy sphere in its hands threatened to destroy multiple Earths. Vegeta panted and noticed the threat, 'Damn it, I don't have enough energy for a Final Flash. I'll have to use this…'

"SUPER GALLIC GUN!" he yelled, sending the violet beam rushing at #13.

#13 released the S.S. Deadly Bomber, and the ball began repelling Vegeta's Super Gallic Gun. Goku yelled, "KAMEHAMEHA!"

The beam aided Vegeta, as Gohan yelled, "SUPER MASENKO!"

"MYSTIC CANNON!"

"KAIOKEN X10 KAMEHAMEHA!"

"KAIOKEN X5 KAMEHAMEHA!"

"METEOR STORM!"

"DOUBLE SUNDAY!"

"DODON RAY!"

The combined energy of the beams shocked #13. Tien panted, "ALMOST THERE GUYS!"

The Spirit Bomb grew bigger and bigger. Goku growled, "Tien, throw it now!"

Tien nodded, "SPIRIT BOMB!" He powered up, "KAIOKEN X20 DODON RAY!"

The beams overwhelmed #13, who yelled as the Spirit Bomb and the beams consumed it. Goku panted, "Keep it up guys!"

Their beams exploded in a climatic finale, leading to the end of #13.

Frost's Spaceship…

"Lord, it seems that #13 and Yuki have both been destroyed," said Froze.

Frost dropped the wine he was drinking, letting the glass shatter to the ground. He slammed his fist against the chair, "Damn it! Must I do everything myself?!"

He stood up, and Froze gestured for him to sit back down, "We still have a chance; it's time for us to deploy the Cold Family."

Frost growled, "Very well, but make sure that they do not rebel."

Froze nodded, "As you wish."

Beyond…

Goku panted, "Whew, you're a formidable foe!"

The figure smirked, "I'd say the same, if your power wasn't so pitifully small compared to mine."

Goku growled, "Vegeta, we have to use that."

Vegeta scowled, "Hmph, you're right Kakarot."

The two performed a silly looking dance, and the figure yelled, "The Fusion Dance!"

He raced to stop it, but it was already too late, "I'm neither Goku nor Vegeta; I'm the man that will defeat you!"

I hope you enjoyed the longest chapter of LOH so far! Instead of creating useless Power Levels, I just decided to create a Top Strongest List. Here it is:

Top 10 Strongest LOH Characters (Seen in Battle)

Super Android #13-Pretty obvious why.

Ultra Super Saiyan Vegeta (Only in power)-Vegeta has the most raw power in the Z Fighters so far.

Android #13- #13 was able to fight on par with both ASSJ Goku and Trunks.

Piccolo (Kaioken X3) - Upon learning Kaioken, Piccolo's potential has increased tremendously.

Ascended Super Saiyan Goku-While not as mastered as Vegeta's ASSJ form, Goku's Ascended Super Saiyan form still packs a powerful punch, especially after the training.

Android #14- #14 possess the brawns of a warrior, and certainly demonstrates it.

Android #15- Don't underestimate it just because of its short stature.

Ascended Super Saiyan Trunks- While Trunks's ASSJ form isn't as mastered as Goku's or Vegeta's, it is still a powerful aid in battle.

Meta-Cold- Big Gete Star technology combined with one of the most powerful Arcosians ever; a dangerous combination.

Yuki- Since Yuki's upgrade in Frost's spaceship, she has possessed power greater than she could dream of.
