This fan-fiction is set in one of the many alternate dimensions caused by Future Trunks when he travelled through time. To set the story Android #18 and #17 have been unleashed Goku and his friends managed to survive the fight, but just barley. The story begins with the androids in Ginger town reeking more havok.
An abandoned city, when suddenly we catch a glimpse of two beings standing in the center of town. One of these people is a beautiful girl she has blonde long hair and green eyes , she's wearing blue jeans a jean vest and a black shirt that's sleeves are striped, her name is Android #18. She looks very depressed. The other is a young man with long black hair and grey lifeless eyes, he's wearing blue jeans, green socks, a black shirt, and an oraange bandana around his neck, his name is Android #17. He seems to be enjoying himself as he jumps into the air and shoots a huge beam of energy at a building causing it to collaspse. He looks over at the girl and sees that she's not like herself, "What's the matter Sis? Why do you look so... so sad?"
#18 looks at him sighs and says, "I've been thinking... maybe we shouldn't kill all these people. What does it accomplish?"
What?" #17 screams, "It doesn't matter what it accomplishes. It's just fun and we'll continue to do it until we kill Goku and his friends. Especially that little bald headed one with the big mouth."
This caused #18 to give him a stern look, "Leave him out of this. I don't think I want to kill Goku anymore. I mean why should we Gero can't make us do it. He's the one that want's us to do it and since you killed him theres no reason to do it."
#17 shook his head then screamed, "No! Maybe Gero made you different, but I can't shake the urge to fight Them. I hate them, and not just Goku I hate all humans. I have to kill them if I'm around them. I need it; like some kind of drug. I have to. I have to. I HAVE TO!" and with that he flew off into the sky.
#18 looked up as he flew out of sight. She sighed once more and whispered. "Good bye brother. " She stood up and headed out of town.

Krillin sat down after a long day of training at Kami's lookout. He smiled as Mr. Popo came in with the food. He hurried to fill his plate before the saiyans got there he knew how much they ate. No later did he started eating that Goku, VegetaTrunks, and Gohan came in and quickly finished the rest of the food. Piccolo,Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaozu rush in to see that they are too late and the food is already gone. Mr. Popo comes in and says, "Don't worry I've made more I kept it for you guys."
Just as he said that Goku comes in from the kitchen sighs audibly and says, "Hey Mr. Popo I finished off what you had in the kitchen you must've forgotton to bring it out."
The the others look at Goku shaking their heads. "I'll make some more," Mr. Popo says annoyed as he walked to the kitchen.
Afterwards Krillin walked back outside eager to resume training. He tried, but it was no use. "Krillin," he said to himself, "get ahold of yourself. It was just a kiss. Oh why can't I get it out of my head." He remembers #18's kiss on the cheek. "Why am I dwelling on this? It make no sense for Kami's sake she an android. I can't be in love with an android," he looked down, "can I?"

Goku was training with Piccolo and Gohan in the training room. They got Dr. Breifs to make them a gravity inhancing device so their improvment would go faster, and they needed to a big improvement if they plan to stop the androids. A week ago Gohan had reached the stage of Super Saiyan when he thought that Piccolo died in a fight against #17. Piccolo managed to survive after being left for dead by the ruthless android. The team now had four Super Saiyans to fight the andriods. Next time they encountered them the battle would have a different outcome.
Trunks was training the hardest out of them all. He knew that he had to beat them before they became too powerful like in his time. They cannot be allowed to destroy this time too. "Keep going," he would often tell himself, "you will beat them next time. Got to keep going." Suddenly a vision of #18 appeared before him. He tried to shake it out, but it was impossible. Then it suddenly hit him. "THE ANDROIDS ARE HERE!" he screamed. #18 walked very carefully, because she did not want to start a fight. She was about half way to Trunks when all of the Z Fighters emerged. "Attack!" Trunks yelled.
"Wait," #18 cried, "I don't want to fight. I came here, because I want to give up. I don't think killing is right. Those thoughts surfaced when Piccolo almost killed my brother. It horrified me when I thought I was going to lose him, and I realized that I have ruthlessly killed and caused those same feeling," she paused. "Now quick finish me I don't deserve to live."
Trunks walked up to her. "Gladly," he said in a satisfied tone, and he turned Super Saiyan and charged up an energy blast.
"NO!" a voice was heard in the back ground, "Please don't do it Trunks." It was Krillin and tears were running out of his eyes, "don't kill her. She can change, and she already seen the error of her ways."
Android #18 looked at him, why is he doing this? she thought, why is he asking them to spare me? I've done nothing, but hurt people. Why should I live?
Trunks and the rest of the Z Fighters looked at him strangely. Trunks looked at Krillin and said,"it has to be done. She has killed too many to go unpunished."
Krillin looked at Trunks and yelled in anger, "then what about Vegeta? He has killed thousands maybe millions. Hey Trunks ask him why he is still on Earth."
Trunks looked over at his father. Vegeta decided he better answer and said, "The only reason I'm staying on this planet is because I have to beat Kakorrotto in a fight to the death. That is my only purpose here."
Trunks was shocked. His mother always told him that his father was a valiant warrior. Was it all a lie? Krillin went on, "See Trunks. Your Dad wasn't always the good guy, but we gave him a chance and look at him now. He may not say it, but we all know that he loves you and Bulma."
Trunks lowered his hand and went out of Super Saiyan. Gohan ran up to Krillin, "But Krillin this is different. She's just a machine," these words hurt both #18 and Krillin, "she can't just change her feelings."
"Well I think your wrong. I can prove it, because she already addmitted that what she did was wrong and she doesn't want to harm anyone again." #18 wondered, why is that little bald guy so intent on saving me. Krillin continued, "also I don't think she really is an android, or at least wasn't always an android. How did he know that! she thought, no one but her and her brother knew about that.
"What!?," Piccolo choked out. "What do you mean? Are you saying you think she used to be human? I don't believe it."
"Trust me guys. There's something in those eyes that doctor Gero couldn't of made."
#18 was shocked. Goku went up to her and asked, "Is what Krillin says true?"
She didn't know what to say. She lowered her head and said in a voice just above a whisper, "Yes. He's right. Know you see why I have to die. I had my humanity taken away from me. I killed people. I hated humans. All because of what He did to us. Know that you know that I've betrayed my own kind there's no reason for you to keep from destroying me."
Goku looked at the others and nodded, all the others did too. Krillin burst into tears and fell down. Then Goku raised his hand, Krillin closed his eye, but heard no sound. When he looked up he saw Goku with his hand on the androids shoulder. "It's ok 18. It's not your fault. It was Dr. Gero's and you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You didn't know any better." He looked over at his blad headed friend. "Krillin is it alright if shes stay's at Master Roshi's house.
"Definetly. If it's ok with you 18?," Krillin asked.
"Sure. Whatever," she said dryly but still a little shooken up after what just happened. They took off for the Kame house and the others talked about the situation. They decided to get some answers from 18, but they would train until then.

In the mountains above West City a mysterious figure is jumping through the trees. The shadow is fast, too fast to be detected even by a trained eye. It emerges from the shadows and we see it's a young boy about the age of nine. He has short light brown hair that is slighlty tussled on one side. He had a black gi with a white thermal shirt underneath. He wore brown boots and black goggles.
He ran over to a cliff and jumped off. If anyone saw him they must of thought he was ending his life, but just before hitting the ground a white aura surrounded him and he flew into the air. He was headed for a remote region that would've taken someone in a car four and a half hours to drive to. He heard from his uncle who was the keeper of a shrine in his town told him of a man who could teach him to master the powers he's had since he could remember.
He was almost there when a boy who was quite a few years older than him was flying too. As he got closer he noticed that it was Android #17 who had attacked a village close to his own a week before. Shear terror went through his head as #17 came flying right at him readying to attack. The boy got ready as #17 neared closer. As #17 reached him the boy dodged the attempt to fly right into him. A barrage of punches were thrown and the android blocked all of them. One of the boys punches hit it's mark. The android's head swung around and he looked at the boy with a deep anger in his face. #17 punched the boy in the face and sent him to the ground.
This is it, the boy thought, this is how I'm going to die. As he got ready for death to take over he heard a woman say, "Brother stop!" he looked up and saw a beautiful blonde haired woman and a short blad headed man.
"Stay out of this Sis," #17 yelled.
"17 stop right now or I will fight you"
#17 looked over at the boy, "He's not worth it," he said and flew off.
The bald headed man came up and asked, "Are you ok?"
The boy looked at his savers and said, "I'm fine. Thank you soo much. My names Arc. Arc Trigger. Who are you guys?"
"Oh I'm Krillin and this is 18," the man said. He looked over at 18, but she was obviously lost in thought.
"What!? She's one of them?"
"Don't worry she's good. You have nothing to worry about," Krillin reasured him. "Hey 18 let's go to your new home."
18 was still a little shooken up, "what? Oh yeah sure."
Krillin got ready to leave when he said, "Hey kid what are you doing out here anyway and when did you learn to fly?"
"I'm going to the Son house to ask to be trained by a man named Goku. I've been able to control my ki ever since I can remember," Arc answered.
"You going to Goku's house. Sorry kid, but he's not there. He's training at Kami's tower."
"Where's that?" Arc asked.
"You wont find it so easily," 18 answered. "Shorty lets take him there."
"Are you crazy!? Bring him to Kami. What if this kid attacked and killed him?"
"You believed in me now I'm asking you to do the same for him. If he trys anything I will kill him."
"Alright. Fine let's go," Krillen agreed, but you could sense the tension in his voice.
