Krillin was getting nervous now. His wife still wasn't out of the water yet.
In a split second Eighteen charged out of the water. Krillin was caught off guard, he brought his cupped hands forward.
Before he could so much as say " ha" Eighteen kneed Krillin square in the stomach. At this, Krillin lost his focus and the energy he prepared faded. From his mouth saliva, blood, and mucous spewed and to Krillin, his life ejected out as well.
Eighteen backed off and created a tiny ki blast in her palm. Krillin trembled in fear. It's what came naturally. He wanted to scream. Dende knows he wanted to scream out to the Four Corners of the world. But when he tried, nothing came out but his insides.
He stood in mid-air paralyzed in pain and seized with fear. All he could do was watch as she fired off a teal energy blast.
At first there was no pain. The blast energy enveloped Krillin encasing him as if he was an insect in amber. And then pain came. His body became distorted as he felt the light energy ripping through his body.
Eighteen smiled mischievously as the remains of her husband, surrounded in smog, plummeted into the ocean.
{Excellent. You have done well. Now commence with the onslaught.}
Eighteen obeyed the commanding voice in her head as she headed out.

Trunks easily evaded the attacks of his son and nephew. Though they were powerful, they couldn't match his strength and speed. It was now that Trunks realized something. He had found a great joy in sparing with the children. He definitely preferred this everyday then office work.
It was then that he froze in his tracks. Ryu seized the opportunity to punch his father in the face. It had no effect on his father.
" Stay Put."
That was Trunks said before taking off. The command was not shouted, or exclaimed out of anger. It was just incredibly strict and Ryu never knew his father to be strict. To "Stay Put" was to challenge the young quarter- saiyin. Would he as his son dare challenge his father's authority?
" C'mon Goshun! Let's go see what's up."
" No way. Uncle Trunks told us to stay put and we're not going anywhere."
" I see, I guess you're scared."
" No, I'm not stupid, if Uncle says we shouldn't go anywhere, then we're not moving."
" And what happens if I take off? Are you gonna try to stop me?" Ryu challenged.
" Ryu! You wouldn't! Your father would.would.."
" Would what?"
" I don't know but he'll do something like.cut off your tail!"
Just the thought of loosing his tail killed Ryu's sense of adventure. Something big was going on and he knew it. It just wasn't worth loosing his prized saiyin tail.

Vegeta turned off the gravity machine. He wiped several beads of sweat from his face with a white towel and through the towel unto the floor of the training room. A power reading was fading rapidly. It wasn't very strong but incredibly powerful in human standards. In that same general area his brat and his grandsons could be sensed there.
[Did Trunks kill Krillin?]
His curiosity overwhelmed him. He morphed into a super saiyan and flew to the countryside.
* * * *
Eighteen looked down upon the city.
{You know what you must do. You hate all Life. You must destroy Life. You hate Life. Your only purpose is to rid that which is Life.}
She spotted a cinema and instantly shot out a thin beam. Within seconds fire danced in the surrounding area and smoke fled the scene. They were like ants. Tiny little misguided ants running about in madness.
The half-human half-android shot a tiny orb into the sky. As the ki orb grew in height it expanded in size. As soon as it at least sixty feet in diameter she opened her squeezed fist spreading her fingers.
The ball of energy exploded and shot down like thin darts. It was a rain of death killing all. One second they ran in a flurry of mass panic, the next second they were simply dead.
{Yes. Yes, beautiful work. Continue to destroy them all. Leave know stone unturned.}
* * * *
Trunks landed safely at the picnic table. He realized his wife and daughter were okay and asked them what happened.
" I don't know, there was a bright light, shortly after there was an explosion." Marron explained.
" Okay, then. I'm gonna go check it out. By the way where's Eighteen and Krillin?"
" Grandma and Grandpa went over in that direction. On no! That's where the explosion was! Daddy what's going on?'
Trunks smiled warmly at his daughter despite his super saiyin appearance.
" Don't worry about it Rika, I'll be right back. I need to know what's going on."

1 Goten stirred awake. He had felt a rather powerful something. He didn't know what it was. He looked to his side to see his beautiful life lying peacefully, as if she was radiating with tranquility.
1.1 He smirked inwards as he recalled the events of last night. With little Goshun at his brother-in-laws house his wife decided to take advantage of the opportunity.
Bra fluttered her eyes open. They automatically linked to Goten's coal- black eyes. They both stayed in that position until Bra purred his name out loud. Goten wanted to leave. He had wanted to know what was going on and whose power level was fading. But this heart was telling him otherwise. She had caught him in a seductive trap and he easily allowed himself to be caught. He brought his lips down to kiss his wife. And thus it had started again.
* * * *
Piccolo couldn't believe what was happening. He remained in hiding as Eighteen continued her onslaught. At the same time though, he wasn't surprised. He had been in the air this whole time watching Eighteen, try to comprehend what she was doing and why she was doing it.
Now he had enough. Enough lives had been vanquished.
Piccolo dived downwards and launched an attack pounding Eighteen in the back. She fell and just before she hit the ground she levitated. She was looked up to see Piccolo had hit her in the back. She didn't make a move. She simply waited for orders.
{The Namek has intruded into our affairs. Your mission and duty is to destroy Piccolo. WARNING! This is a test. Failure to destroy Piccolo and be destroyed by him or any other intrusion will result in your termination and my relocation in which I will grow stronger. Eliminate or be eliminated.}
Eighteen shot into the sky, fist extended. Piccolo barely dodged as Eighteen missed him by a hair. She continued her attack in barrages of blazing ki blast and lightning fast kicks and punches. Piccolo had the nimbility to dodge all of her moves but didn't have the strength to inflict any damage. Piccolo knew all two well what would happen. He wasn't making any progress and soon she would hit him.
The punch came to his face as his purple blood spurted outwards. He retained his balance and threw off his turban and cape.
[This could get ugly] Piccolo thought.
" Stop wasting my time namek. Kill me or I will you: there is no escape." The android stated in a robotic monotone.
Piccolo rushed at Eighteen and slashed her in her left cheek with his long nails. Eighteen quickly countered with a jump kick, which sent Piccolo sprawling to the ground. Upon impact, Piccolo realized his body was temporarily paralyzed.
[Oh just great.] He thought.
Eighteen flew directly above the motionless namek and sent down a shower of energy spheres. Piccolo cried out in pain as his body became twisted and destroyed. His bones crunched and his organs squished. But it didn't matter. Piccolo knew all too well, he just to keep his head in one piece and he would survive easily.
At first Eighteen only giggled as she butchered the namek from above. But now she broke out into a murderous laughing craze. She continued to behave maniacally until an unexpected blow from behind saved Piccolo's life.
{Recover. Now. Identify intruder. Now.}
2 She looked up to see.
Vegeta.
His infamous smirk was plastered arrogantly on his face.
" To be honest android, I've waited for this moment for a very long time. You see, to this day I am still haunted by my defeat to you. Even though I was a super saiyin you toyed with me like some monkey plaything. You taunted me in our little battle and finally knocked me out of commission with a kick to my arm. Ever since I had always wanted to the same to you, android. But of course the pain would be ten fold. I would break your arm and stick up your sorry ass. It was when you bonded with the human weakling, Krillin. I was forced to resist the urge to rip off your fucking head. But now there is no excuse for you to save you. You murdered your own mate, beat this sorry namek to death, and slaughtered a city. Prepare to die android. And I promise this is going to hurt."
Instantly Vegeta transformed. His raven hair became gold and his ebony eyes emeralds. And within a seconds he had attacked Eighteen. Eighteen was frantic. He was much stronger and so much faster than she was. She turned to the voice inside of her to give her instructions.
Vegeta enjoyed tossing Eighteen's body like a rag doll. With a kick to her stomach she was shot into the air. Vegeta quickly sped up above her and grabbed her hair. With the other hand he continuously pummeled her face. Hard.
{There is nothing for me to say. Eliminate or be eliminated, either destiny leads to my perfection. Nothing is more important than my perfection. Your sacrifice is my freedom.}
Eighteen couldn't believe the source of her newfound power had abandoned her. Now she was sure to die.
With another punch Eighteen simply fell from Vegeta's grasp, a lock of her blonde hair was still trapped in the saiyin's fist. Vegeta discarded the blonde strands of hair and watched with saiyin pride as his victim fell to the ground.
He smirked at the weakling before him and took off.
[I have far more important things to concern myself with. That android will die, she is far too damaged.]
Piccolo, now fully regenerated flew over to Eighteen's body. Time and time again Vegeta has proved to be a great warrior, his pride being his weakness has allowed another evil scum to live by Vegeta's grace. By as prior events have shown evil lives on and returns as a greater threat. Piccolo had to see this job through.
Eighteen was still conscious. He created a huge energy ball and blasted her. Now she was unconscious. Like a slug doused with salt waiting to die without even ever knowing their last breath. Piccolo summoned up another ki sphere much like the previous one. This would kill Eighteen.
But just as he prepared to launch the blast a new sensation fulfilled him. Almost as if his closed mind had opened up new perspectives and dimensions to see. He had grown stronger in mind and body.
{Yes Piccolo, the time is at hand, go out and do my bidding. Just as you had come for me, so will the others. You will die and I will live on. Now kill namek, take every precious life you can.}
* * * *
Trunks raced across ocean blue in search of the answers. Something had happened here. Most likely Krillin and Eighteen were involved somehow. Out of the corner of his eye Trunks noticed something. Upon closer inspection smoke was rising from the water. The smoke secreted by the murky water below it.
Trunks dived into the water. He followed the trail of murky water until he found Krillin's frail body. Trunks grabbed the human and placed him upon shore.
[What happened here? Who did this? And where's Eighteen?]
Trunks looked down upon Krillin's dying body and only thought of how he was going to break the news to his wife.
Krillin was getting nervous now. His wife still wasn't out of the water yet.
In a split second Eighteen charged out of the water. Krillin was caught off guard, he brought his cupped hands forward.
