The Arrival of the Androids

I don't own Digimon or Dragonball Z

The day had finally come, after three short years of training, the day that Trunks had said the Androids would arrive. "Alright, we don't have much time. We need to head right for the island Trunks said the Androids would appear," Daisuke told her family as they stood outside their house.

"Do you really think we're ready for the Androids?" Azumi asked, unsure of herself, until Goku put his hand on her head and ruffled her hair, making her smile.

"We are. We've all been training non-stop for three years, waiting for this day."

"Plus, with your father, Pan, and Vegeta able to become Super Saiyans, we should have an advantage," Daisuke added.

"Just be careful, when the Androids of my timeline arrived we stood no chance," Pan said.

"Because you didn't train, or even expect anything; thanks to your warning, we will be able to change our fate," Daisuke said. "Come on let's get going. Goku, did you remember to get the Senzu Beans from Korin yesterday?" He blinked and chuckled sheepishly, making her facepalm as she knew that he had forgotten. "Never mind, I'll go get them. I'm faster anyways. Azumi, Pan, follow me just in case I run into trouble. Gohan, stick close to your father today."

"Got it," Gohan replied with a smile as he hugged his mother.

"Don't worry son, I'll be fine," she said, kissing his forehead before she flew off with Azumi and Pan, heading for Korin's Tower.

"Let's go, son." Gohan nodded, and he and Goku flew off towards the island. "Krillin should meet up with us on the way there."

"And the others?"

"Yamcha and Tien said they'd be there, and I know Piccolo and Vegeta won't miss this battle."

"Can we trust those two?"

"We have to for today, son. Piccolo your mother or I can handle easily, but Vegeta is a wildcard; his performance against Cooler shows he's powerful. I just hope he can keep his pride in check for today at least." Soon they were nearing the island and saw Krillin flying up ahead.

"Hey Krillin!" Gohan greeted, approaching the bald warrior with Goku.

"Hey guys, where are the others?" Krillin asked.

"They went to get the Senzu Beans," Goku answered, and Krillin sweat-dropped.

"You forgot to get them yesterday, didn't you?" he asked, and Goku chuckled, scratching his cheek. "Honestly, on a day like today, you'd think you wouldn't forget something so important. I just wished we had more time; I could have trained more, gotten faster and stronger."

"You did all you could, we all did," Goku said. He noticed Piccolo behind and above them, but he kept his distance. Soon they found the island and floated above it. "Wow, there is a lot of people down there, more than I thought."

"I didn't even know this city existed," Krillin commented.

"We'll need to divert the Androids away from here, otherwise too many innocent people will be hurt," Gohan said.

"First, we need to find them, and I can't sense any huge power levels at the moment," Goku said, looking down at the island with a small frown. They flew lower to see if they could spot the Androids when they spotted Yamcha, Tien, and, to their shock, Bulma on a cliff overlooking the city.

"What's Bulma doing here?" Krillin asked as they landed with Piccolo landing behind them.

"You're late," Yamcha said to his friends, who noticed he cut his hair and it now was short and spiky.

"At least the Androids haven't arrived yet. And what're you doing here, Bulma, it's way too dangerous to be here," Goku said to his friend, walking over, and he noticed she was holding a baby in her arms as well.

"I've come to watch you all fight, silly. Don't worry, I'm only staying for a bit and then I'll go home." she told him.

"That's not the point, you could be hurt before you have a chance to leave, and bringing your son along isn't helping matters," Goku retorted.

"Speaking of the kid, is it yours, Yamcha?" Gohan asked, but Yamcha huffed.

"He's not my kid. If you think that's a shock, wait until she tells you who the father is," he said, walking off with his arms crossed, and he sat down on a rock.

"I'm betting it's Vegeta," Goku said with a grin, and Bulma blinked. "I'm right aren't I?"

"How did you know that?" Bulma asked, and Goku chuckled.

"Well who else was living at Capsule Corp these last few years, and he looks just like Vegeta. What's his name?"

"Well I was going to name him Trunks, but Vegeta suggested we name him Terra, and I agreed." Bulma answered, shocking Goku and Gohan.

"Well that's going to mess up the timeline," Gohan thought.

"Since we're on the subject, where is Vegeta?" Piccolo asked, glaring at them all.

"I'm right here, slug face." Everyone looked further up the cliff to see Vegeta standing there with his arms crossed. "And Kakarot, just so we're clear, once we deal with the Androids you and I are settling the score," he told his fellow Saiyan, who nodded with a smirk.

"Of course, only rule is no destroying the planet. Can't have you being a sore loser now, can I?" he asked, making Vegeta scoff.

"Where's Daisuke, Pan, and Azumi? Weren't they coming with you?" Tien asked Goku.

"They'll be here, they just went to get the Senzu Beans," Goku answered.

"Weren't you supposed to do that?" Bulma asked, and Goku slumped. "Good thing Daisuke remembered, then."

"Ignoring the fact Kakarot's an idiot, what's the time, woman?" Vegeta asked, making Bulma frown but she looked at her watch.

"Nine thirty."

"Those Androids are going to be here soon. Bulma, you really should leave," Goku told her.

"I just want to see what these guys look like, I'm sure I'll be fine with you all here to protect me," she replied with a smile.

"She's still stubborn alright. I wonder how does Vegeta deals with her," Goku thought.

Meanwhile, Daisuke, Azumi, and Pan were racing through the sky with a bag of Senzu Beans tied to Daisuke's sash around her waist. "Thank goodness Korin farmed a lot of Senzu Beans for this occasion, now let's get back to the others."

"We're running out of time, we only have thirty minutes left before the Androids arrive," Pan said, looking at her watch as they sped up, heading for the island. As they began to fly over the ocean and numerous islands, Daisuke spotted something out the corner of her eye and stopped flying. She grabbed her daughter and granddaughter as an energy blast soared past them, narrowly missing the group.

"What the heck was that?" Azumi asked, shocked they didn't sense the attack coming.

"Seems the good doctor's calculations were spot on, they would be heading to collect Senzu Beans," a voice said, making them turn to look at three figures floating in the air, with the one in the middle holding his right arm out that was still smoking.

He was a muscular man, his white hair was in a mullet style with greyish-blue eyes. He wore a yellow vest adorning the Red Ribbon Army logo on his left side, as well green trousers, black boots with ribbed tips, brown gloves, as well as a grey and yellow baseball cap with the Red Ribbon Army logo on its front.

The one to his right had the appearance of a large, heavily built muscular man. He wore a brown brassard and belt combination, with a silver skin tone and black hair in a long-braided ponytail.

The final person on the left of the man in the middle had the appearance of a very short and small man with purple skin and pink lips. He wore a pair of sunglasses and a large green hat with a red ball on top.

"Androids," Azumi said with a frown, noticing the Red Ribbon logos. "Are these the same ones from your time?" she whispered to Pan, who shook her head.

"No…but this makes no sense…how could he make more of these monsters?" Pan whispered, clenching her fists in anger.

"Maybe you and Trunks coming back to warn us made him make more Androids, perhaps he saw us training somehow and decided to increase his forces," Daisuke suggested.

"Enough talking, it's time for you three to die," the silver android, said firing a barrage of Ki blasts with the short android following suite, and the three girls flew out of the way easily.

"14, 15, you take the brats. Gero gave me orders to handle the woman, said something about finishing his pet project," the hat wearing android said, cracking his knuckles.

"If you think I'm going to let you take me back to that monster you've got another thing coming!" Daisuke shouted, firing a Hadoken at the Android who blocked it with his forearm. He fired his own energy blast at Daisuke, who kicked it away and it crashed into the ocean. In a flash of light, she powered up to her Gaogamon form.

"Don't waste any time, 13. We're under orders to finish this quickly and join Dr Gero on the island where he and 19 are," Android 14 told him.

"Yeah, yeah, he never said we couldn't have some fun first," Android 13 said, charging Daisuke who blocked his punch and caught his kick with her free hand. She was hit by his other knee, sending her spinning through the air.

"Gero and another Android? Oh no, that means, Goku and the others will be fighting four androids, and if two of them were enough to kill everyone in the future, what chance do they have now?" she thought with concern. She dodged Android 13's punch and gave one of her own to his gut, making him smirk before grabbing her arm and throwing her down to a deserted mass of land below. She flipped in the air before landing, but quickly moved back as 13 dive-bombed where she stood, sending rocks and dust everywhere.

"This is gonna be fun, if I bring you back damaged Dr Gero will just repair you, no skin of my back." He began charging a red energy sphere while holding his finger up, and fired a beam of energy from it at Daisuke who blurred to the side, dodging the attack, as it soared across the ocean behind her.

"He's strong, no doubt about that. But my speed gives me the advantage, I don't think I'll need to transform again. I can save that for Gero and the other Androids," she thought as Pan and Azumi landed beside her with 14 and 15 landing behind Android 13.

"Mom, are you ok?" Azumi asked.

"I'm good, he's strong. What about you two?" Daisuke replied.

"So far so good, they're even with our strength, should we transform to finish this?" Pan asked ready to transform at a moment's notice.

"Do it, we can't afford to be held up by these guys. We have to regroup with the others as soon as we can. No underestimating them." Daisuke answered, and Pan nodded. With two flashes of light, Azumi had transformed and Pan powered up to Super Saiyan. "Let's just hope Goku and the others can handle the other Androids and Dr Gero until we can finish with these guys here."

Meanwhile, Goku and the others were still standing on the cliff looking down at the city. "Daisuke should have been back by now," Goku said, his arms crossed as he stood beside Tien.

"I'm sure she, Pan, and your daughter are fine," the three-eyed warrior reassured his friend. "Though it is strange, the Androids haven't begun their attack yet, and it's 10:15."

"You think Trunks was wrong?" Krillin asked.

"I doubt it, though it's always possible that enough changes were caused by his coming back that it messed up the timeline," Goku answered. As the group contemplated, thinking about what to do next, an explosion drew their attention and they all saw a building in the city had been attacked.

"Who did that?" Krillin asked, before Piccolo noticed two figures hovering in the sky before they flew down to the city.

"The Androids, they went down into the city," he answered, gritting his teeth. "And I didn't even sense them, how is that possible?"

"They did that without us sensing them at all, they must be good at hiding their energy," Yamcha suggested.

"Or we can't sense them. They are Androids, so perhaps they don't give off energy like we do," Gohan suggested.

"But that's impossible!" Yamcha denied.

"It doesn't matter now, we need to stop the Androids before they hurt anymore people," Goku said, flying off to the city with Krillin and Gohan right behind him. Tien nodded to Yamcha and both followed their friends, with Vegeta and Piccolo reluctantly following.

"If I were an Android, where would I be?" Goku thought, landing on the roof of a building as he looked for the Androids, but he couldn't find any sign of them. "Damn, no sign of them. And I can't sense any energies besides that of the others."

Elsewhere in the city, said others were searching for the Androids. Unfortunately, there luck was no better than Goku's. "Why didn't Trunks show Mom and Dad a picture of the Androids when he was here?" Gohan thought as he walked down a street looking for the Androids. He bumped into someone and stepped back. "Oh, sorry sir," he apologised, looking up at the person he bumped into. He saw an old man with slightly tanned skin, blue eyes, a large white bushy moustache, and long white hair.

He wore a black hat with the Red Ribbon Army logo, and he had no eyebrows; only a pronounced brow.

The person standing next to the old man had completely white skin, two dangling earrings, extra-large orange pants, an extra-large banana white strap-on vest, a broad red sash, and an orange pointed hat with the same Red Ribbon Army logo on it.

"Target Identified, Son Gohan. Child of Son Goku and Daisuke Motomiya," the person standing next to the old man said with a smirk. Evil intent glinted in his cold blue eyes, and Gohan gulped before he flipped back just as the person slammed his fist into the sidewalk.

"Ok, found the Androids," Gohan thought as the old man looked at him with a smirk.

"Ah, so this is the child of my uncompleted project. I see you have her eyes and her determined fire," he said.

"You're Dr Gero?" Gohan asked with a frown. "You're the one who hurt my mom."

"Actually, I improved her. Without my modifications, she'd still be the weak human she was when I found her. I wonder where your mother is, I still have much work to do with her."

"You stay away from my mother, you freak!" Gohan shouted, firing an energy wave at Gero who held his hand up, and the energy was sucked into the small red orb in the palm of his hand, leaving him unharmed to the shock of Gohan. "Well…that's a new one."

"Thank you for the energy boost, allow me to repay you in kind," Gero said with a smirk. "Photon Wave!" he shouted, firing a pinkish and whiteish energy beam towards Gohan who jumped out of the way, and the blast hit a car, creating an explosion and a large cloud of smoke that alerted the others to the battle.

"Thank goodness nobody was in that car," Gohan thought before he turned around to see the second Android behind him. He was grabbed by his throat and began feeling his energy being sucked from his body. "So…they can absorb energy attacks…and from physical contact."

"Someone's power level is fading fast," Goku thought, sensing the sudden drop in energy as he flew towards the source of the cloud of smoke. "I've got to hurry." He landed near the destroyed car and saw Gohan in the grip of an Android. "Gohan!" he shouted, charging to save his son, and he slammed the Android's back, forcing it to release Gohan as it skidded across the street. "Son, are you alright?"

"D…dad?" Gohan asked, looking at his father, and he smiled. "I found the Androids," he said, with a chuckle and Goku smiled.

"You did good, son. What happened?"

"That one was absorbing my energy, and the second one is Dr Gero. He was able to absorb my attack easily," his son explained, pointing to the Androids as Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, and Vegeta arrived.

"So, these are the Androids, they don't look so tough," Vegeta said, looking at Goku and his son. "Your son doesn't look too good, if I were you I'd get him out of the way before he gets killed."

"Krillin, take Gohan out of here until he gets a Senzu Bean. We're not sure what's keeping Daisuke from getting back here," Tien told his friend.

"Ah, that might be the other Androids I created," Dr Gero said with a smirk. "Even though I do not know how you anticipated our arrival on this day or when we would attack this island, I do know that you would gather Senzu Beans to heal yourselves if you were injured during our battle. That is why I sent Androids 13, 14 and 15 to Korin's Tower, but it seems that they instead encountered Motomiya. Very convenient timing for you; if she hadn't arrived when she did, there wouldn't be a Korin's tower for you to go to."

"I wouldn't put too much hope in your Androids. Daisuke's pretty tough; she's probably turning them all to scrap metal right now," Goku said confidently.

However, Daisuke, Pan and Azumi, were currently not turning the Androids into scrap metal. Instead they found themselves evenly matched to their opponents.

"Hadoken!" Daisuke shouted firing her signature attack at 13 who blocked the blast with his hand. "Hadoken Barrage!" She fired multiple Hadokens this time at the Android, who jumped back, avoiding the blasts.

Android 14 and 15 held their hands up and charged similar looking Ki blasts and fired them at Pan and Azumi who jumped to the side avoiding the blasts. "Let's make things interesting," Android 15 said. He and Android 14 began charging another attack by combining two more Ki blasts together, which began to grow in mass and density, and the ground began shaking.

"Azumi, on my mark, fire a Kamehameha right back at those tin cans," Pan said, jumping into the air and cupping her hands. Azumi did the same, and each began charging a Kamehameha. The two Androids fired the combined energy blast into the air at the two of them. "Now, Kamehameha!" Pan shouted, firing a blue energy wave down at the oncoming attack.

"Kamehameha!" Azumi shouted, doing the same, and the two Kamehamehas combined into a singular larger Kamehameha. It slammed into the combined energy blast and forced it back towards the Androids. The energy hit the ground with a large explosion, and both girls panted.

"Did that do it?" Pan asked, looking around for the Androids before 14 appeared behind her and slammed his knee into her back before elbowing her, sending her to the ground.

"Pan!" Azumi shouted before she blocked 15's punch as he appeared on her right. She flipped back. "Buster Cannon!" she shouted, firing her strongest attack down at the midget Android only for the attack to hit some sort of energy barrier, leaving 15 unharmed. "What the?" Azumi asked before 15 began firing energy spheres at Azumi, who flew around each attack before kicking the last one right back at 15 who sidestepped it.

Android 14 appeared behind Azumi and punched her in the back, sending her to the ground before he appeared below her and kneed her in the gut, making her cough up some blood.

"Azumi! Hold on, I'm coming!" Daisuke shouted, flying to help her daughter before her ankle was grabbed by Android 13.

"You're not going anywhere girl," he said, slamming Daisuke into the ground before throwing her away. She skid to a stop as he fired another beam from his finger. She caught the blast with her hands and was pushed across the ground and out onto the ocean before she roared and threw the blast into the air. "How about this!?" Android 13 shouted, creating a large spiralling red sphere of energy in his hands, and he fired it at Daisuke who flew out of the way, but the blast followed her wherever she went.

"Oh, great, another homing attack." Daisuke thought, turning around and she held her hands up.

"She's plain crazy if she thinks she can block that attack with her bare hands, it's strong enough to turn half this ball of mud into ash," Android 13 said, amused by Daisuke's foolish effort until he saw an aura of Ki surround her as she cupped her hands, charging an attack.

"Kamehadoken!" she roared, firing a golden wave of energy at the homing sphere, and both attacks clashed before Daisuke's attack overpowered the Android's and it exploded in a flash of red light that lit up the sky.

"Whoa, look at that," Android 15 said as he and Android 14 stopped in their attack on Azumi to look at the explosion. They paid for their distraction with cries of surprise when Azumi's bladed tail lashed out and took 14's legs off under the knee. 15 took a step towards her being blown away by a blast of energy from a standing Pan.

"Hey, where did that grin of yours go?" Azumi asked the androids.

"Let's finish these two off!" Pan shouted, and Azumi nodded as Android 15 charged Pan as she began creating two energy blasts in her hands, and a sphere of gold Ki began to form around her. "MAIDEN BURST!" she roared, throwing her arms out creating a large dome of energy around her.

Azumi flew out of the way and Android 15 held his arms up to try and block the attack, but he had no luck and screamed as he was blown to pieces.

"But how!" Android 14 shouted before he was bisected by Azumi's claws as she charged him, and she smirked.

"That's how," she commented with a chuckle. Daisuke smirked at seeing Pan and her daughter finish the other two Androids. She dodged a punch from 13 and slammed her knee into his stomach, and then an elbow drove him into the ground. He pulled himself up and saw the remains of the other two Androids.

"Inferior craftsmanship, to say the least," Azumi said.

"So, you defeated Android 14 and 15?" Android 13 asked before he smirked and began laughing.

"Why is he laughing?" Daisuke thought before she saw two small chips, one from both Androids, and another piece from their chests fly towards 13. "Oh crap." The two chips flew into Android 13's temples, the two others merged into his chest, and he began to transform. His muscles bulged, his skin turned blue, he grew taller, his hair turned from white to orange spiked up, and his eyes turned a malevolent yellow. He roared.

"This is bad," Pan said as Daisuke landed in front of her and Azumi.

"Yeah. Seems this guy can transform thanks to the other two being destroyed. Why didn't I think of something like this happening?" Daisuke asked herself.

"Don't beat yourself up, mom. We couldn't know Gero would think of something like this to fight us," Azumi said.

"I feel great. Now it's time to finish you off; one last chance surrender and come with me to Gero's lab, or die!" Android 13 shouted, holding his hand up charging an energy blast ready to fire.

"I won't go back to that monster, you'll have to kill me!" Daisuke shouted, powering up and transforming into her MachGaogamon form. She charged the Android, blurring from sight, and she slammed her foot into his neck from behind. He didn't even flinch, shocking her before she began punching and kicking him from all angles.

Android 13 smirked and caught her by the ankle. He released his energy blast at Daisuke, sending her flying back and sending her rolling across the ground. Azumi growled and flew towards the Android. She slashed at his throat with her claws, but blanched as they were unable to pierce his skin. That had never happened to her before. She tried to punch him in the chest, but it didn't have any affect.

"Ah nuts," she said before she began punching and kicking him until she was grabbed by Android 13, who flew into the air and then dived towards the ground.

"This is the dive of death!" he shouted. Pan flew towards him to help Azumi, but she was hit by an energy blast, sending her to the ground, and she groaned. Azumi was slammed back first into the ground, and Android 13 fired another energy blast, sending Azumi skidding across the ground into Daisuke's arms as she caught her.

Daisuke growled and flew towards Android 13 but he dodged her punch and slammed his elbow into her spine, making her shout in pain. Another punch sent her flying back, and 13 ran alongside her. He began a barrage of punches and kicks before one last uppercut sent her sprawling to the ground. She gritted her teeth and got to her feet only for an energy blast to hit her, knocking her down.

She got back to her feet and was knocked down by another energy blast, only for her to repeat the action. "Is that all you got?" she taunted the Android who charged another energy blast.

"To hell with you!" he roared, firing the blast towards Daisuke who placed her fingers to her forehead and vanished from sight. He smirked, thinking he killed her until Daisuke appeared above him.

"Kamehameha!" she roared, firing the energy wave down at the Android, and it hit its mark, creating an explosion. She panted, but when the smoke cleared, Android 13 was still standing and unharmed. "What on Earth is it gonna take to beat this guy?" she asked herself.

Next to her, Pan and Azumi staggered to their feet. Android 13 smirked. "I'll blow you all away at the same time!" He held his arms open and a large, crackling sphere of red energy formed in front of him.

Daisuke traded grim looks with the others and they all placed their hands beside them. "Ka-me-ha-me-HA!" They shouted, charging up their strongest Kamehameha waves. They combined into a massive beam of white light that was met by the massive energy of 13's attack.

The two attacks struggled against each other for a moment before they were slowly pushed back towards Daisuke, Azumi, and Pan. Daisuke gritted her teeth. This couldn't be the end. "Everyone, put everything you have into this!" she shouted. The three poured even more energy outwards, slowing the beam's approach more, but not stopping it.

As the heat of the clash approached them and a pit of despair opened up in Daisuke's stomach, she felt a surge of energy from beside her. A quick glance showed a golden aura around Azumi, which was accompanied by a huge surge of power. It was enormous! Daisuke hadn't seen anything like it, not since Gohan... did Azumi possess the same potential he did?

Regardless, the energy was surged up the united Kamehameha wave and began pushing back the energy sphere. Android 13 roared in disbelief even as the attack struck him. "This can't be happening! You're not perfect Androids like I am!" His screams faded as the blast slowly dissolved his body until not even dust remained.

"You're right. We're human, that is what makes us strong," Daisuke said.

As fast as the energy had appeared, it faded and an exhausted Azumi slumped to the ground. "Azumi!" Daisuke exclaimed, and rushed over to her daughter. Azumi was unconscious, but breathing regularly. "Looks like she's just tired. Good thing we have Senzu beans." Daisuke pulled out three Senzu beans, gave Pan one, and slipped a second down Azumi's throat while eating a third herself.

Azumi's eyes fluttered open. "That was amazing," Pan praised her with a smile. Azumi smiled sheepishly.

"I don't know what came over me, honestly."

"It was amazing," Daisuke agreed. "But these aren't the only Androids we have to deal with. Let's go." As the three began flying to meet with the others, she gritted her teeth. "You just wait, Gero, I'll finish you off myself if I have to," she thought to herself.
