June 26 – Arrival of the Androids Day
17 and 18 went to 16 and activated him quickly. He stood up from his containment unit and looked around.
He said nothing as he walked to the computer, opened up a hidden hatch in his right arm and plugged it into the computer console. Soon the computer spoke.
Power Level Reading:
18: 100 million
17: 100 million
16: 150 million
"Hey! That's a mistake! I'm stronger than this piece of tin by far!" defended 17
The computer continued to speak.
"Senzu" Upgrade.
Using the regenerative properties of the "senzu" bean, Dr. Gero has developed a way of modifying energy use to effectively double the power of partly organic and fully robotic androids. Tests will be made for androids 17 and 18 as they destroy Son Freeza and his friends.

Senzu Update Progress.
Android 17 and Android 18 have successfully been doubled in strength, due to the unexpected growth of Son Freeza and his allies. It appears that 17 and 18 have also terminated Android 20. They have also activated Android 16. Noting and updating status reports.

18 blinked in surprise.
"21?" said a puzzled 18
Android 21: "Cell"
Cell is composed of the DNA of the greatest fighters on Earth. List includes Son Freeza, Son Ice, King Vegeta, Koola, Vegeta, Kakarot, Kuririn, and Piccolo. It is currently in pupa state, and shall remain in that state until it absorbs enough energy to go to its "A" state.
"Yeah, yada yada yada. Let's go, 16. We have to go kill Son Freeza." Said 17
16 looked up and his eyes glowed a light blue. He unplugged himself from the console and followed the two, emotionless.
Yamcha
Yamcha set down in front of Freeza's hut and moved with dazzling speeds, scanning the house up and down. Eventually he found the device Trunks gave to Freeza; it looked like a flat TV. He put it on the table and hit the switch. There was static, but eventually a dark shape appeared. Bulma's voice came over the blurry image.
"Hello?"
"Bulma!?" asked a bewildered Yamcha
"Yamcha? YAMCHA! You're alive!"
"Yeah, no kidding. Listen, I need to talk to Trunks right away! We've got problems!"
"Trunks is out fighting the androids right now, can I help?'
"Maybe! How many androids were there, and what do they look like?"
"There are two. One is a male with black hair and torn jeans, with a red bandana around his neck. The other is a female with blond hair. Both have blue eyes."
Yamcha groaned.
"That must mean we're fighting the wrong androids! I gotta go, bye!"
Yamcha turned off the device and flew out the door at top speed.
The Future, 25 years
The device was turned off by a green hand. The hand then picked up the device and tossed it into the rubble that was once Capsule Corporation. Soon the voice of Bulma arose.
"I must go back to that critical moment in time, to kill Freeza while he's wounded from Koola's attack. Killing Koola will be no problem with my virus I developed to nullify his robotic armor. I will be able to easily kill him without his armor. I will then have secured my life for all time! BWHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!"
The voice was Bulma's but it came from a large cockroach looking creature. He had wings and a tail. As he walked towards the time machines, he stepped over the dead body of Trunks. He laughed maniacally as he activated the machine. He typed in the time and reverted to pupa state. Within moments he flew off in time.
The Future, 20 years
Trunks looked at the device. He listened to the conversation between "Bulma" and Yamcha, but had himself cloaked, an unknown watcher. He adjusted the machine to see the ugliest face he had ever seen, the face of a monster. But it had the voice of Bulma! He adjusted the machine's camera to look around. He saw Capsule Corp., burned to the ground. He also saw his own body. As soon as the conversation was over Trunks jumped in the time machine and went back in time.
Koola
Koola lifted his arm, which formed a rugged blade.
"Time to die….."
Ice grabbed the bloody carcass of Nappa and threw it at Koola's arm. It was impaled instantly on the blade. As Koola attempted to remove the body, Ice jumped forward and punched him right in the face.
"AH!!!!" screamed Koola. Koola punched Ice with his free hand, drawing blood. Ice noted that the punch knocked out a few teeth, and spat some blood. Ice stood up and wiped away the blood.
"You…..you did good, BOY." Remarked Koola
"You're the boy! I'm a man!" said Ice fiercely
"Really?" Koola cocked his head to the side.
"You are no man, you are an Icicle-jin. I am your uncle, and you shall treat me with RESPECT!" Koola screamed, backhanding him into the ground. Ice's forehead bled from where he was hit.
"I shall kill you, that purple haired Saiya-jin, and your father."
Ice's eyes widened, and turned slightly blue.
"You….won't….touch…..Freeza!" he said between clutched teeth
"I shall do far more than touch FREEZER, child." Smiled Koola
Ice's eyes glowed dark blue as an aura developed around him quickly. He screamed in fury, a yell that could be heard across the lands.
"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ice jumped forward and slammed his hand into his face, throwing some blue ki in to increase the damage.
Koola fell back, unconscious. Ice's fury died down, as did his aura. He fell to his knees in exhaustion. He picked up Freeza, and quickly flew away before Koola awoke.
Piccolo
Piccolo pulled back his right hand, charging ki.
"MAKKANKOSAPPO!!!!!!" he screamed
He fired the beam at the door, drilling through it.
Piccolo's eyes widened as he screamed, closing his hand.
"YAHH!!!!!!!!!!"
The beam exploded, taking the door with it. Piccolo put his smoking hand by his side as Kuririn and Tenshinhan landed on either side on him.
"Woah." Said Kuririn, surveying the damage
"That door pissed me off." Said Piccolo simply, walking inside.
Kuririn and Tenshinhan followed.
Piccolo's walk quickly turned into a run, which turned into full speed flying. Piccolo zoomed down to an intersection.
"Kuririn, go left! Tenshinhan, right!"
Piccolo sped straight through, not stopping to notice Kuririn and Tenshinhan going separate ways. Piccolo stopped suddenly, seeing a steel wall.
He moved, flying through it like paper. On the other side was a large man with orange hair. Piccolo noted the RR on his outfit, and pulled back his hand into a fist.
Raditz
Raditz and Bardock stood by the metallic clones of Vegeta, Kakarot, Taurus, and Brolly. They gave them the final look over, then prepared themselves to enter Earth's atmosphere. Metal Vegeta's eyes flickered alive, and he gave an evil grin. He lifted up his arms and powered up ki, aimed at Bardock and Raditz, and fired.
Kuririn
Kuririn stopped in front of a larva looking creature.
"Weird."
Kuririn pressed his hand against the egg and charged up ki, releasing a blast that kill the thing instantly. As Kuririn turned around, he saw 18.
"What th-"
That was all Kuririn could say before 18 knocked him out.
Trunks
Trunks got out of the machine and looked around. He saw a shell looking thing on the ground, and determined it to be a shell. He threw it away, and went into the woods, looking for the time machine. When he found it, it was much older than his, by at least 25 or 30 years.
"Cell is here……." He said silently
Trunks looked up and saw a spaceship landing to the left of him by a few hundred yards and followed it.
When Trunks arrived, he saw two shapes at the entrance.
"Bardock and Raditz?" he asked
The bodies of Bardock and Raditz fell over into the dirt. The Vegeta android walked outside.
"It's you! That imposter Saiya-jin!"
The android powered up, and went SSJ.
"How can you go SSJ? You're a machine!" said Trunks, nonetheless going SSJ as well.
"I have the cells of Vegeta inside me. He could go Super Saiya-jin, and so can I."
The Vegeta android flew at Trunks and grabbed his arms, attempting to pin him.
"I don't think so!" said Trunks, going beyond Super Saiya-jin
Trunks held down Vegeta, making him go to his knees. Vegeta smiled and jumped forward, planting his knee in Trunks's chest.
"You of all people should know when someone is concealing their true power!" said Vegeta
Suddenly, a blast hit Vegeta's side, tearing his clothes and revealing a robotic skin.
"Damnit Vegeta, why won't you STAY DEAD!" screamed Koola
Koola jumped and kicked Vegeta off Trunks, then proceeded to wrestle him. Trunks stood up and looked in awe.
"Huh? Oh no, I sense Cell's ki!" said Trunks
Trunks quickly sped up and flew after the ki.
Piccolo
Piccolo continued to fight 16, but it was a losing battle. As soon as Piccolo got off a punch, 16 would have hit him 4 times. 16 also did not show any signs of fatigue or pain. Piccolo leaned over to breathe, and flashed an attack in his face. Piccolo flew off to escape, but 16 grabbed his leg and prevented him from moving any further.
"ARGH!!!!" yelled Piccolo in frustration
Piccolo began to kick his head with his free leg, but 16 grabbed that leg as well quickly. Piccolo then used telekinesis to move his weighted clothes from where he threw them off and rammed them into 16's side. 16 still showed no signs of letting up, and used eye lasers to destroy his cloak.
"DAMN YOU!!!"
Piccolo powered up a ball or energy and tossed it downwards. 16 prepared to dodge it, but Piccolo wasn't aiming for him. He converted the energy to a ki blade in mid air and used it to swiftly cut off his own legs where 16 held them. He then flew away as fast as he could.
16 looked up and fired a blast at Piccolo. It hit his back, and 16 saw Piccolo fall to the ground. 16 leapt after him and observed his body. There was a huge hole in the back of his head, but just a few burns on his back where the blast his. 16 grabbed the body and returned to the others.
Meanwhile, an organ flying quickly grew back into a head. It soon became a full Namek-jin. Piccolo grunted and flew away, glad of his regenerative abilities. Ripping his regenerating organ and tossing it before his body died was a challenge, and painful as hell. Piccolo swiftly flew to Kami's Lookout.
Ice
Ice laid Freeza on the ground on Karin's tower. Yajirobe was trying to convince Karin to give up a senzu to help Freeza, and eventually came up with one.
"There you go. You guys better clean up afterward, blood is hard to clean up."
Ice paid no attention and gave the senzu to Freeza. Freeza ate it weakly, and swallowed. They all waited.
"What the? Was that a bad senzu Yajirobe?" demanded Ice
"It's was fine! It should've helped him like normal!"
Karin walked outside slowly with his staff.
"That's why I didn't want to spare any. It wouldn't have done any good. That bullet cancels out ki, and a senzu is a ki restoring plant. There's only one person who could heal him, and that's-"
"KAMI!!!!!!" yelled Piccolo, flying past them at full speed
Ice grabbed Freeza and followed him quickly out the window.
"Kids today, never wait for ya to finish anything…." Grumbled Karin as he walked inside
Kami
Kami waited for Piccolo and Ice's arrival patiently. Mr. Popo stood by his side. A gust of wind came, followed by Piccolo, and a split second later, Ice.
"KAMI!" both Piccolo and Ice said at once
"Now, now now. I know what both of you want.. Piccolo, are you sure about this?"
"Kami, as much as it pains me to ask this, I need it badly to defeat the androids." Said Piccolo
"Yes, I know. Come Piccolo, place your hand on my chest, and we will merge, to become one."
Ice didn't move but watched as Piccolo did as he was told, followed by a terrific light show from the two. When the light died down enough, Ice and Popo could see a single Namek.
"Who…..who are you?" asked Ice
"I am neither Piccolo, nor am I Kami. I am simply a Namek that has forgotten his name. However, you may call me Piccolo, as I look most like him."
Piccolo stretched his muscles and grinned.
"That android shall pay dearly….. But first, we have to deal with Freeza. Follow, Ice."
Ice and Mr. Popo followed Piccolo into a room with a white light in the center.
"Place him there. This will hell him, but it will take a process of a few hours."
Ice did as he was told.
"Piccolo, I want to remain here, in case he is attacked."
Piccolo looked at him and nodded.
"Very well. The time has come for me to fight my battles. There is a new entity, a very evil entity. It has your and my ki, but also Vegeta's, and Freeza's. There are some more mixed ki as well. I must destroy him."
Piccolo hovered, fired up a green aura, and flew away.
Trunks
Trunks flew towards Cell's ki, but two figures stopped him. The Taurus and Brolly androids, both also in SSJ.
"You two! I killed you, and I'll do it again!" said Trunks
The two grinned and flew at Trunks. Trunks was immediately being pummeled by their superior power. He could have taken on one, but two was beyond him. Trunks was vaguely aware of the Kakarot android in SSJ attacking Koola as well.
"Nani?" said Vegeta, turning his head
Vegeta left the fight and looked to the left.
"That ki….what the hell is that?!?!?" said Vegeta
Vegeta flew off, leaving the three remaining androids to attack the two warriors.
18, 17
18 and 17 dropped their "trophies" on the ground. 18 had beaten Kuririn, and 17 beat Tenshinhan. 16 came in with a Piccolo body, and dropped it.
"What happened to his brains?" asked 18
16 did not answer.
"Fine. The time has come for us to kill Son Freeza." Said 17
"Whatever. I want to find out what those huge kis are over in the south!" said 18
17 and 18 flew through the ceiling and headed south. 16 stood still, then followed.
Piccolo
Piccolo flew and suddenly stopped.
"I can feel that evil's ki to the north, but I feel Koola and Trunks to the south. The seem to be in a loosing battle."
Piccolo thought for a moment, then headed south. He soon arrived at the location of Kakarot, Brolly, and Taurus pummeling the two mercilessly. Piccolo noted holes in their clothes, holes that showed metallic skin.
"ANDROIDS!" yelled Piccolo
The three stopped and turned to him. They backed off from Trunks and Koola, and approached Piccolo.
"Icicle-jin, Saiya-jin, and Namek-jin, oh my!" said Brolly, causing the others to laugh
Piccolo growled.
"The time has come for your defeat!" said Piccolo
The three laughed quickly.
"Really? And who will defeat us? You?" They continued laughing
Piccolo growled and held out his hand. He began pouring ki into an energy ball. Kakarot stopped laughing.
"Wait a minute! He shouldn't even be half this strong!" he said
Piccolo screamed and fired the energy ball at the three, and exploded it in their faces. He then extended his arms into the dust cloud at brought up Kakarot. Kakarot's skin had completely burned off, but he held on to his arms.
"DIE!" screamed Piccolo as he launched himself at Kakarot and pulled in his arms simultaneously
Piccolo head-butted through Kakarot's body and cam out the other side, growling. Kakarot fell to the ground, a Piccolo sized hole in his chest. Trunks and Koola watched in awe. Suddenly, Koola moved.
Koola appeared above Kakarot and powered up a ki blast.
"TIME TO DIE FOR THE LAST TIME, MONEKY!!!!"
Koola then completely obliterated the android Kakarot's body, leaving a fine dust.
Piccolo set down next to Koola, and Trunks jumped to his other side. The Brolly and Taurus androids stared at them in amazement and fear.
"RETREAT!!!!" yelled Taurus
The two android Saiya-jin ran to the ship, but Trunks was too fast for them. With one clean blast he obliterated the ship with a ki blast.
"AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Brolly
The two powered up and rocketed away, trying desperately to escape their destruction.
"ON THREE!" Yelled Piccolo
"FINISH BUSTER!"
"MAKKANKOSAPPO!"
"DIE YOU ASSHOLES!"
"THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The trip simultaneously let loose their most powerful beams, all aimed at the two escaping Saiya-jin. With an explosion that rocked the ground for miles around, the Saiya-jin burned in agony. The three failed to notice two small blue orbs fall to the ground.
"And STAY DEAD!" yelled Koola
Koola looked around and saw who he had just teamed up with and quickly jumped at Trunks, hands forming into blades.
Vegeta Android
Vegeta landed at the source of the mysterious ki and looked around. He saw a cockroach creature waiting.
"The Saiya-jin prince? No…it's not! An android…..Either Gero's been busier than I thought or the Saiya-jin hired someone intelligent to build them you! I must say, I was not expecting you. I was expecting the Namek and the boy, though. No matter, you're just as strong." Said Cell
"What the hell…..are you?" demanded Vegeta
"I'm Cell, form A. The only ones I've absorbed so far is Bulma. But you're next, and you'll increase my power greatly……."
Vegeta lunged forward and planted his fist in his gut. Cell fell over, holding his chest.
"AH!!! Ah….ah….that….all you got?……woman!" said Cell
Vegeta grew angry and struck him again. He then powered out of SSJ.
"You're not worth Super Saiya-jin, weakling!"
Vegeta went to prove his point by kicking Cell, making him land on his back.
"Very good, Vegeta! You're quite amazing! Amazingly stupid, that is!" said a bloody Cell
Cell sent his tail down through the ground and had it come out from behind Vegeta. With a quick motion, his tail had Vegeta contained. He stood up, and began to absorb him.
"BAKA!!!! HAHAHAH!!!!! NOW YOUR POWER'S MINE!!!!"
Vegeta was absorbed into Cell quickly, and Cell began to change. He grew shorter, and his twin towers on his head merged into one and went backwards, like Vegeta's style. He face became more human, and his wings disappeared.
"THE POWER!!!! THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" said Cell
18 and 17
18 and 17 flew around, then 17 noted two blue orbs on the ground. They set down near them, and told 16, who was just catching up, to scan them.
"This is rather odd. It appears to be partly Saiya-jin DNA, and some other elements. I'll touch it for a further scan."
16 reached out and touched it, then picked it up. The ball quickly melted in his hand, and the blue liquid went into his skin.
"What the?" said 17
16's eyes glowed yellow, then he screamed. He held his side, then looked up. 17 couldn't tell, he KNEW 16's power went up. Without a second thought he picked up the second ball and it melted in his hands and went into his skin. 18 watched intently.
"AH! Much better!" said 17, in Taurus's voice
"I feel much stronger. This must be analyzed further." Said 16
17 looked at him puzzled.
"Come on! These orbs were meant to take over the person who touched it next! We then receive a new body! Mine worked great!"
18 looked at her brother coldly, and the looked shocked. Her next emotion was anger.
"You……took over his mind! DIE!!!!!!" she screamed, attack 17
"Off me, crazy bitch!" yelled 17, smacking her away
18 flew unconscious into a lake nearby and sunk to the bottom.
"Come on, Brolly. Let's go kill those three, or try to get off this rock."
16 looked at him emotionlessly
"Your mind control device failed, Saiya-jin. It does not work on non-organic entities. I merely became stronger. It is now my duty to kill the true last Saiya-jin." Said 16
16 grabbed 17 by the head and squeezed. 17 screamed, then kicked him away.
"The power! No way!"
17/Taurus flew away, heading north. Little did he know he was heading towards his doom.
Ice
Ice looked at Freeza's wounds being healed by the white light. He could fell Freeza's power growing every moment.
"Heal, Freeza. We need your strength, now more than ever." Said Ice
Cell
Cell felt a ki approach, and quickly hid to absorb whoever appeared. He was seen, and told to come out.
"Come out and fight me, monster." Said Piccolo
Cell went out to oblique his wish.
