"What's the matter, you aren't scared are you?" 17 taunted. Tien just
stood there, afraid to move. Suddenly Tien's face expression went from
fear to horror as his head flung up to look above him. 17, curious, also
looked up to see what he was so afraid of. Instantly, 17 became as scared
as Tien, for someone was simply floating above Tien with a smirk on their
face.
"Who are you? Identify yourself!!" 17 yelled at him. The being simply
smiled and hovered to the ground between the two. That was around the time
Tien noticed that the being had a tail…
"Y-you're a Saiyan…" he gasped. The person turned around and looked
at Tien with a slight look of confusion on his face.
"You were the power level we sensed!" he said as he backed off slightly
in fear. 17 suddenly came back down to Earth.
"I don't care how powerful you are, I am an Android of Dr. Gero! No
mere mortal can match me in power!" laughed 17. The stranger turned back
to 17 and a gust of wind blew his long brown hair to one side.
"I'm guessing you're the bad guy. Well I hate to break it too you,
but you really are no match for me." He said with a smile. 17 was shocked
at how calm he was.
"You liar! I'll show you!" he screamed and flew at the stranger with
terrifying speed. As 17 went to kick him in the head, the stranger just
grabbed his leg. 17 had a real look a terror on his face and he tried to
kick him with his other leg. The stranger threw him to the ground before
he had a chance to attack.
"You are weak from battle, save your energy…" he advised as he looked
up in the sky to see two beings flying in.
"Hmmm, who are these two?" he questioned and Tien squinted to see who
it was.
"Goku!" he cried with joy. The stranger looked puzzled as Goku, closely
followed by Gohan came into land. There was a dead silence as Goku and
the stranger looked at each other with questioning eyes.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Goku finally asked after a long
silence.
"My name is Adon and I am from a world unknown to you. Your friend
here noted your name is Goku. Nice to meet you." He said. They all had
a massive sigh of relief to know he was on their side. Goku looked at Adon's
side to see a tail.
"Oh! You're a Saiyan!" Goku noted happily. Adon looked at his tail
and then looked back at Goku.
"Where I come from I'm the only one of my kind and I never knew anything
about my past…" he said as he lowered his head. The others felt pity for
the Saiyan when Android 17 stepped directly in front of him.
"Why are you here anyway? And what was that gigantic explosion?!" he
demanded to know.
"Calm down 17." Goku spoke.
"No, he's right. My entrance must have been a little spooky for you,
especially since none of you have such high power levels. Is there a place
we can discuss it?" Adon asked and Goku nodded politely
"Yeah, we can go to Kami's House, I'm sure Master Roshi won't mind.".
Krillin suddenly landed next to Goku and looked at them all.
"Did I miss something?" he said, looking at Goku.
"Everything's fine, he's with us." He grinned. Krillin then had a confused
look on his face.
"Where's Cell and the other Androids?" He asked.
"Oh no! I'm too late!" 16 said to himself as he helplessly watched Cell
absorb 18.
"Oh yesssss, such power!" Cell cackled and he began to flash.
"I must stop you!!!" he yelled. 16 quickly pointed his fist at Cell
and launched his fist at him. Cell tilted his head slightly to one side,
dodging the fist, and his transformation was complete.
"Ah, how refreshing. I feel strong enough to take on the world…" Cell
grinned whilst watching the expression of fear on 16's face.
"What's the matter, never felt such power before? He he he…" he sneered
and the land he was hovering above suddenly exploded, sending rock and
dust everywhere. 16 was temporarily blinded by the dust and couldn't see
a thing. Then, out of nowhere, Cell appeared in front of 16 and punched
him hard in the stomach. 16 went flying into a cliff wall and fell to the
ground with a thud.
"Weak fool, I am far more powerful than you could ever be. Now get
out of my way, I have unfinished business to take care of…" he said, looking
around. Cell, with another explosion, takes off into the sky when suddenly
16 grabs him by the leg, stopping him.
"You stupid machines never learn." He growled and he kicked him off,
throwing him into another wall.
"Now I will find 17 and when I do, I will be indestructible! Ha ha
ha ha haaaaa!" he whispered to himself and flew off. Just minutes later,
the others arrived to see Android 16, barely functional. Gohan flew down
and landed next to him.
"How did he get hurt like this Daddy?" Gohan asked while he observed
the Android.
"He obviously isn't our enemy. Cell wasn't after him, yet he nearly
killed himself trying to stop him…" answered Goku. 16 tried to get up,
but merely fell back down again. 17, who had followed, looked at 16 and
turned away.
"He sacrificed himself to save 18, and me but it seems 18 didn't make
it…" 17 said. Adon looked at the Android almost emotionless, just as the
Android itself was.
"Come on, if you want me to explain to you what happened, I suggest
we leave now…". Everyone looked at him strangely because of his sudden
demand. Goku agreed
"Fair enough. But what about Cell?".
"Don't worry, I'll be able to take care of him…" Adon grinned. They
all nodded and took off into the air when Tien stopped.
"We can't just leave 16 like that, he did a very heroic thing!" Tien
pointed out. Goku was about to answer but before he could Adon said
"You are absolutely right…" and pointed his finger at 16.
"STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" Goku yelled but it was too late. A giant
fireball came out of his fingertip and hit 16. There was a huge explosion
and everyone got engulfed in the explosion. Fortunately the power of the
explosion was only powerful to just kill 16. The light from the blast died
down and everyone just stared at Adon.
"Let's go." He told everyone, as if nothing had happened. He began
to fly off when they all just stopped and looked at him. He stopped suddenly
and looked back at them.
"Well? I need directions to this Kami House don't I?". Krillin just
shook his head and began to follow Adon. Goku flew up by Adon's side and
they all began to fly towards Kami's house.
