The Androids slowly levitated down into the small chamber...Dr. Geros'
Laboratory. Ashamed and mocked, the repairs were not for any minor
incidents this time... this time... it was beyond that. It was a fight the
Androids could not win.
Android 17 could not be described in any other way...pissed off. If the lab had not been so far away from their destination, neither would have a place to return to.
"That bastard Vegeta! How did he come back alive... How the fuck did he come back alive? Tell me! How.... How is it possible? My god... those little bastards are going to stop us from delivering retribution... All because a ghost has come back... Back from a grave that was supposed to remain buried!" 17 clenched his teeth... those bastards... he would make them all pay for this humilation. Somehow.... he would.
18 stood in silence as the computer analyzed 17s' body. How...how had Vegeta come back... and how did he become so strong... So strong.... Damnit, she couldn't even keep up with him. They could've won if 18 wasn't such a weak model....
"17..."
"What!?"
"You're supposed to be... the strongest being in the universe... yet now everything is gone... what will we do if..."
"Sister, do not think that way. We will not be defeated. Our reign of Terror will not end. Even in Hell, we will terrorize the humans for their wrong-doings against us. Vengeance will be ours in the end."
"17... I must ask... Why do we terrorize the humans? Why punish all people for only ones' wrong-doings?"
"Because they are all faceless cowards! You know as well as I about how humans try to play God. You know it well! Dr. Gero wasn't the only one... Don't make the computer waste its time pulling up information on Cloning and Abortion. It's not even worth wasting time on. If they want Abortion, I'll give it to them. I'll murder them all."
"So by killing them we deliver a message to them? If they all die, then there will be no message." 18 sighed... was this how life was supposed to be? Was this all her life would ever amount to? Was this... it.
"We do not deliver a message. We simply get a feeling of... The humans got what they deserved because of us... and we are... We are the Androids! We get our revenge upon them! When they all rot in hell, we shall live eternally, destroying their countless creations. Let me put it this way... I hate them. I liked being human, and that bastard turned on me because like most humans, he wanted to play God. He wanted to get revenge on Goku because he destroyed his little army... and then... he USED me. So now... humans will pay a tribute for what they made me... a mechanical daemon." 17 laughed, his old self was back.... 18 knew he had a plan now.
"So, what's your plan?"
"Something really fun...."
"Don't play games. Just tell me."
"Alright. Computer, fill me in. Was I not supposed to be the strongest being in the universe? Certainly Dr. Gero must have realized the E.S.F. would become stronger and stronger. We would need a boost in power occasionally as well. We do not get those from fighting or training." 17 smirked, he knew he was going to get a nice answer from this great question.
"Yes, you are correct Android Model #17. However, currently the power-up only increases at 375%. It is not complete. It is meant to increase your power to 1000% of its current maximum." The computer said it with no feeling or emotion.
"Hmm... How long until it is to be completed?"
"At the current research speed: 100% every two years."
"That's too long. I want it now."
"It is not complete. Taking it now will remove all research. You will have to wait another seven years before it will be possible to obtain the current power increase. Are you sure?"
"Give it to me. I don't want Vegeta to get any stronger while I wait for this slow power-up. Give it to me now and I'll be more than three times stronger! That's more than enough to take them three-on-one."
"As you wish. To receive it, you must remain in Stasis for twenty-four hours."
17 was not comfortable with this... his body inactive for so long. However, he knew he must. "18, guard the lab. Kill anyone who gets too close on the spot."
"Of course. A brilliant plan 17... I thought we had truly lost... Should've known better. You always have some trick up your sleeve."
As 17 sat down, a demonic smile filled his face... yes... time to kill Vegeta for good. He closed his eyes, and let the power slowly surge into his body.
"17... I don't know anymore. I think you hold too many grudges against them now... I'm starting to think about taking their side. I'll see how it turns out... I've always wanted to stick by you. I can only hope... I... I think I love you. Yet, at the same time, brother... I cannot stand by to your destructive descicions forever. There has got to be a line... Goodnight Brother." 18 slowly walked into the next room, which would tell her if anyone got near... here she would wait for twenty-four hours.
At the same time that 17 went into Stasis, Trunks got out of bed. Gohan could only smile and grin at the twist of fate that life had brought them.
"Well, Trunks, one of the things you should know about... we have a very special guest this morning. I'd like you to meet 'em. I'm sure you two will get along great. Just remember to make a good first impression, eh?" Gohan winked at Trunks.
"Yea, sure. Who is it?"
"Like I said before.... you'll see."
