"His daughter?!!?" Krillin asked. "How did she become an Android?!"

"I don't know."

Flying down to where Eighteen and her husband stood, Twenty-one ignored the challenge of Vegeta.

"Come back here, Android!" He shouted.

"Hold it, Vegeta!" Krillin exclaimed.

"So, Eighteen, here you are! I've been looking for you," she stated crossing her arms.

"Are you another Android?"

"Yes, I am. I am Android 21. Where are Sixteen, Seventeen, Nineteen, Dr. Gero, and Cell?"

"You know about them?! How is it that I don't recall you?"

"I was brought into being while you and Seventeen were deactivated. Dr. Gero told me that the two of you were very disobedient, and he didn't want to activate you again until he fixed the glitches in your programming. He and Android 19 were going into South City when he deactivated me. He told me that he would reactivate me when they returned."

"So that's why I never saw you."

"Where are the other Androids?"

"Seventeen and I are the only ones left."

"WHAT?!"

"Vegeta killed Nineteen."

"So, he wasn't lying; but how is it that a Saiyan could beat an Android?!"

"A Saiyan defeated Cell," Krillin added.

"That's a lie!!! Cell was the most perfect being-- at least he was when he was to absorb Eighteen and Seventeen."

"He was until Gohan hit him so hard he spat out Eighteen," Krillin boasted.

"What?! He was perfect! Dr. Gero's dream was finally realized."

"Not for long," Vegeta smirked. The Android flashed him a death look at his comment.

"What happened to Dr. Gero?"

"Seventeen killed him," Eighteen simply stated.

"WHAT?! How could he?!!!!" She expounded angrily.

"He was a horrible man, Twenty-one. You need to realize that. He just wanted to kill innocent people," Eighteen stated.

"That may be the case, but he promised to tell me who I really was!!!! He said that after he returned from South City, he would tell me about my past!!! Seventeen killed the only man who knew who I was!!!!" Twenty-one powered up to an incredible energy level.

"Kyrie, don't you remember anything?" Eighteen asked.

"Kyrie? Why did you call me that?"

"Because, that is your name. Kyrie Gero."

"Gero?" She asked as she powered down.

"Yes, you are Dr. Gero's daughter, Kyrie. He must have made you into an Android and erased your memory," Eighteen said sadly as she knew that she shared the same fate as Kyrie. Eighteen remembered nothing of her life before seeing Dr. Gero as she stepped from her capsule for the first time.

"I can't believe you two!!! She's programmed to kill us all!!! I will not let another Android roam this Earth!!!" Vegeta growled just before he yelled, "Gallic Canon!!!"



He released his most powerful attack upon the Android who just simply held her hands up and absorbed all of the immense energy.

"What?!!?!" Vegeta screamed. "How could you do that?!?!"

"Kyrie!!! Are you okay?!" Eighteen ran to her. Kyrie turned to her and showed her the holes in her hands.

"You can absorb energy?!" Vegeta yelled.

"You're just like Nineteen and Twenty!" Krillin exclaimed. He remembered back to how Twenty almost killed Yamcha and Piccolo and how Nineteen almost took Goku's life.

"No, I'm not. Unlike Nineteen and Twenty, I'm going to kill this Saiyan!" She screamed before charging after Vegeta. Her fists and feet were flying toward the Saiyan Prince as she proceeded to pound him. Little did Kyrie know that Vegeta was a Super Saiyan and he hadn't even powered up to that level in their battle. He didn't even seem winded from the beating she just gave him.

"Is that all you got, Android?" He smirked.

"You shouldn't be this powerful. My files state that I am stronger than you."

"Well, looks like Daddy didn't program you right. He didn't know about Super Saiyans," he laughed.

"Super Saiyans?!" Kyrie asked as she watched Vegeta transform into the ultimate Saiyan level. He charged toward her and kicked her into the side of a tree.

"Kyrie!!! I will not let you destroy her, Vegeta!" Eighteen ran over to her. "She may have the key to my past!!!"

"Out of my way, you hunk of junk!!! I should've killed you too when I had the chance!!! I don't trust you, Android!"

"Your wife reprogrammed her, Vegeta!!" Krillin shouted up to him. He couldn't believe that Vegeta STILL distrusted Eighteen. Bulma reprogrammed her so that she wouldn't want to kill everyone. He trusted her enough to marry her and have a baby with her.

"Bulma doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground," he laughed.

"Oh, I don't, huh?" A voice asked. Vegeta winced when he heard the voice of his mate. "Are you saying I didn't reprogram Eighteen?" Bulma asked as she led Trunks over by the hand who was leading Marron by the hand.

"Papa, what are you doing?" The little boy asked.

"I'm about to kill me an Android, boy. Would you like to help me?" Kyrie got to her feet with Eighteen's help. 'He is way too strong for a mere Saiyan. What is this Super Saiyan level he is talking about? And am I really Dr. Gero's daughter?'

"You're going to kill her, Papa?" Trunks asked pointing to the redheaded Android.

"Yes, I am."

"Forget it, Vegeta!! You'll have to go through me!" Eighteen spat.

"You won't kill my kassan," Marron said as she ran over to her mother.

"Vegeta, come down from there. You're making an ass out of yourself!" Bulma yelled.

"Shut-up, Woman!!! I will do as I please!!!"

"Fine, if you want to kill that Android, you'll have to kill me too," she said as she stood in front of Marron.

"And me too!" Trunks ran over to his mother.

He silently cursed the blue-haired woman and the purple-haired little boy on the ground. 'What is it with these Humans?' "What is wrong with all of you?! She just tried to kill me!!!" He screamed.

"After YOU tried to kill HER," Eighteen noted.

"I think I can help, you, Android 21, is it?" Bulma asked carefully walking over to her.

"Eighteen says my name is Kyrie Gero."

"Gero? As in Dr. Gero?!"

"Yes, Bulma, she is Dr. Gero's daughter," Eighteen explained.

"Wow! Well, Kyrie, you're coming back to Capsule Corp. with me!" Bulma exclaimed putting her arm around her.

"That THING is not coming back to our house!!! Do you hear me, Onna?!" Vegeta yelled as he was ignored by everyone. They all gathered around Kyrie and led her off into the city.


Veegeta flew home to Capsule Corp. as the others got into Bulma's air car and headed for the same destination. Kyrie felt as though she as a stranger in a strange land. She couldn't believe that she was actually Dr. Gero's daughter. 'Could Eighteen be mistaken?' She thought looking at Eighteen who was holding Marron in her lap. 'She's such a cute little girl. It's amazing that Eighteen could have a baby, still being an Android.'

"Kyrie, you remember nothing but being an Android?" Bulma asked as she looked through the rear view mirror.

"No, the first thing I can remember is being activated; the capsule door coming open, and seeing Dr. Gero and Android 19."

"That sounds a lot like my memories, but you were there when I was first activated. You were still a Human then," Eighteen said quietly.

Kyrie tried as hard as she could, but she couldn't recall anything that Eighteen was talking about. "The first time I saw you was when you were in your capsule. The Doctor explained to me that he had just deactivated you and Seventeen."

Eighteen's blood began to boil as she remembered back to the times he put her and her twin brother to sleep. Kyrie would always try to stop him; saying that if he treated them more humanely that they wouldn't disobey him so. She was always so good to her and Seventeen. Eighteen believed that Seventeen liked Kyrie-- a lot. He stopped her from killing Kyrie once when she showed up with a deactivation device similar to the one Dr. Gero had used on them. It was later revealed that the device was to be used on Android 16 which hadn't been awakened but once.

As the car sped along, no one spoke a word. No one really knew what to say. Was this creation of Dr. Gero's saveable like Eighteen? Eighteen could see that Kyrie was really confused about everything, especially the day Kyrie was deactivated and Eighteen and Seventeen were reactivated. "Dr. Gero reactivated us because he was losing a fight to Goku's friends; he had already lost an arm. He was hoping that we would be obedient to him this time, but we weren't. Seventeen seeing that you were nowhere around, snatched the device from him and crushed it. He then kicked the Doctor's head off and stomped on it."

Kyrie flinched at the gruesome story, but she didn't know what was sadder; the fact that a creation had killed its creator or the fact that Eighteen could tell the story with no emotion or remorse in her voice. "Well," Kyrie said as her head dropped.

"I'm sorry, Kyrie," Eighteen said with great sorrow in her voice. She wasn't sorry that she killed Dr. Gero; she was sorry for what she did to Kyrie. No one should go through the Hell she had went through not knowing who she really was.

"You did what you thought you had to do. Thank you for saving me from Vegeta," she smiled.

"Vegeta's just a big teddy bear," Bulma laughed. "You'll see," she said as they pulled up to Capsule Corp.



Kyrie sat in Bulma's lab as she searched for the plans of Android Seventeen and through the programs of Android Sixteen. "How did you get hold of the plans for Android 17, and the programs of 16?" Eighteen came into the lab with Marron in tow and Krillin following close behind. 'They certainly make a strange couple,' Kyrie laughed to herself.

"Well, it's a long story," Bulma said as she thought of Mirai No Trunks.

"Where is Seventeen?" Kyrie asked Eighteen.

"I don't know," she hung her head down.

"You don't know?"

"After the battle with Cell, he was revived with the Dragonballs. I found him, but he didn't want anything to do with me. He said I betrayed him
by marrying Krillin."

"What are Dragonballs?" Kyrie asked.

"We'll catch you up later, Kyrie. I think Bulma's ready for you," Krillin smiled as he pointed over to Bulma who had found the plans to both Sixteen and Seventeen.

"One question: How much time has passed since the Dr. went to South City?"

"Seven years," Eighteen said as she waved.

"Seven years?" Kyrie whispered.

"Kyrie, I'm ready to read your files. Please remove your clothing so that I can hook you up to the machine," Bulma smiled. Kyrie removed her skirt and shirt that bore the Red Ribbon Army patch. She had on a black body suit underneath much like Android Sixteen's.
"Okay, just lie down. I promise this won't hurt," she explained.

Kyrie laid down and closed her eyes as Bulma hooked the sensors to various parts of her body. She felt energy surge through her, then she passed out as the energy became too great.

"Is she okay?" Eighteen ran over.

"She's fine. You and Sixteen did the same thing when I hooked you up to the machines," Bulma offered a comforting smile. Eighteen walked
back over to Krillin and Marron. She knew Bulma wouldn't do anything to hurt Kyrie. Bulma was a very kind and gentle person; she had helped Eighteen by making her more Human and less of an Android.

"Do you think Bulma can help her remember?" Krillin asked.

"I hope so, Krillin-chan. If she remembers her life as Kyrie Gero, then she can remember where Dr. Gero got me and Seventeen from." Krillin put his hand on hers, knowing how much his wife desperately wanted to know about her life before she was an Android.

"I bet Bulma-sama can do it!" Marron crawled up into her mother's lap. "Trunks said she was the smartest woman in the world."

"Oh, really? How would Trunks know that?" Eighteen laughed.

"Cause he's really smart, and I love him."

"You love him?" Krillin raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I love him, Daddy! We're gonna get married one day."

"Sure, Marron, anything you say, dear," Eighteen laughed.

"Hmm, seems like there's a chip in your memory that wasn't there in Eighteen's," Bulma said as she furiously typed away at her computer. "But it's not linked up to your databank. We'll fix that." Bulma also discovered that Kyrie was the programmed to be the Android to finish Dr. Gero's plan to kill Goku if all the other Androids failed; Kyrie's powers were to be activated only after the other Androids were destroyed. "Dende!!! She has incredible power!!!" Bulma exclaimed as she looked at the programming. Dr. Gero had programmed her to have more power than even Cell. If Bulma didn't reprogram her, she would be an even worse force than Cell was.

As she linked up the chip to Kyrie's memory, Vegeta was watching at the door. "Woman, are you innately stupid?"

"Go away! I'm busy."

"Listen to me! If you don't destroy that thing right now, it'll be the death of us all!!!

"Her name is Kyrie and when I reprogram her, she will not want to kill us."

"Don't you listen to anyone? She's evil-- she'll . . ."

"Take over the world and enslave us all? Funny, that's what Yamcha told me about you," she laughed as she mussed his hair. "And where
would we be had I listened to him?"

"That's different!"

"No, it's not. I didn't listen to the people who were telling me bad things about you, and I'm not going to listen to you saying bad things about Kyrie."

"Sometimes, Woman . . ." he began before Bulma kissed him on the lips.

"Now, go train somewhere. I have work to do," she said as she dismissed him. The Saiyan Prince fumed as he was treated like a child by a mere Human. Eighteen and Krillin had to turn away to keep from laughing right in his face. He stormed out of the lab and flew off to the gravity chamber.

"Okay, here goes," Bulma said as she pressed 'Enter' which activated Kyrie's memory chip. The Android's eyes flew open as the new information surged into her central processor. A whole new life was being played before her eyes. It wasn't really a new life, it was her old one.
