Android 18
17 was lying on the ground still asleep. He had been unconscious for a couple of hours now and I was getting worried now. I had never seen him so still for so long. Though I prided myself on being unemotional I was getting really worried. 17 had always been around, I couldn't imagine life without him. At the moment 16 was operating on his chest trying to make him conscious again. I hadn't seen 17 like this for years. The last time had been when Dr Gero had been testing and operating on us as small children. I shivered with all the memories coming back to me of that horrible place. Shaking myself I applied myself back to the task in hand. After 17 had collapsed we had lifted him up and taken him away. 16 had said it was too dangerous to stay where we were and we had flown about ten miles away. I still didn't know what had happened since I had left. 16 had a grim expression, the worst I had ever seen on his features. He seemed to be angry about something and I could see it in the way he moved. What exactly had happened? 17 and I were the most powerful things on the planet, nothing could challenge us. It was impossible someone could have beaten 17 this badly. I was telling myself this but even as I thought it I was beginning to disbelieve it. 17 hadn't just shorted out or something like that. I could see the bruises and blood on him. He had evidently been in a fight with someone and he had only barely won. Or maybe he hadn't? When I had come in Piccolo was fighting 16. Could the Namek have beaten up my brother? No that was impossible. Calm yourself 18. I sighed letting out a lot of tension. I was just tired after my last battle and naturally this would cause me to lose my composure. I started to fidget with my hands as I watched 16. He seemed to have produced some instruments out of nowhere and he was doing something to 17's chest. Sparks were flying everywhere and watching them recalled memories too violent. I needed something to do. I would get firewood, yes that would be a good idea. I ignored the fact that as Androids we were self sufficient, we didn't need food, water, heat or any of the human weaknesses. The human part of me thought it was a good idea and as I said I needed something to do.

I banished back my memories for the time being. An inkling told me there was something important in those memories but I didn't have the time at the moment to analyse them. I needed my wits about me for what I was planning to do now. For a while I had been tracking the signals of the Z fighters trying to recognise who was who. It was easy to know Vegeta or Trunk's powers, as they were so much higher than the rest so I normally followed those. But for some reason Piccolo's power had increased dramatically. It might even be equal to that of a Super Sayain's. Wanting to know why and also to see how the Z fighters were doing I was at this moment flying towards an area I had sensed them all fly to. As I came closer to their area I flew lower to the ground. There would be no point in them spotting me. They all seemed to be somewhere in the middle of a wood. I landed on the ground and leaped up into the trees. With several limbs climbing was easy and I made my way to their position quite quickly. It was only when I started to hear voices that I slowed down. I knew Namek's had great hearing and there was no point in giving myself away at this early stage. I slowed to a crawl and moved without out a noise towards their position. As I closed I with them I began to hear what they were saying more clearly. Suddenly I was almost out on them; there were only a couple of branches between them and I. "I just managed to see this boy floating outside the corp. I was trying to get a good look at him but then he started to destroy everything! I just managed to escape barely." That hysterical voice was female so it must have belonged to Bulma. It seemed the Androids had been busy. The Namek then started speak in his cold angry voice. "That must have been a little while before I came across them." Everyone stared at Piccolo. "You went after the Androids? Why would a weakling like you do something like that?" "Father, Piccolo is more powerful than us." The Sayain stifled a laugh. "That will be the day." "You don't understand, Piccolo has fused with Kami. He is the most powerful of us." Vegeta turned to stare at the Namek. At first I could see he was still grinning but he seemed to see something in the Namek's eyes. His proud face seemed to pale and his eyes widened. Under his breath I caught his whisper. "It can't be true." Piccolo face was smug and he was staring at Vegeta with enjoyment at the Sayains awkward position. While Vegeta and Piccolo continued their staring match the others seemed to be unhappy about something else. Tien shook his head. "I can't believe they are gone. Goku, Gohan and Chi-chi, all dead." "Those Androids!" Trunks fists were clenched and he seemed to have trouble containing his anger. "It's happening all over again. The Androids are killing us all of one by one!" "I wouldn't be so sure of that Trunks." Piccolo had spoken up again. "While Android 18 was dealing with the three of you," I could see this was aimed at Vegeta and I could his getting angry again. This was good, Vegeta didn't seem to feel comfortable in this little group, keep goading him Piccolo. You won't be happy when his anger breaks. "I had fused with Kami and I flew down to the city. There I found 16 and 17. I started to fight 16 and he didn't seem to be that powerful. I hadn't powered up fully and he couldn't do anything other than block me. 18 managed to distract me before they ran off." "They ran from you!?" "Yeah, I don't know why you are so surprised." He clenched his fist experimentally. "This new power I've got is incredible, I think I may be even the most powerful fighter in the Universe!" "Why didn't 17 fight with you?" I wondered when someone would notice this. Trust Vegeta to notice a flaw with the Nameks boasts. "Well he was injured I think. He couldn't even stand on his own." "What!" Piccolo looked up to see everyone staring at him. "17 was injured?" " Yeah he was face down in the dirt when I last saw him. He seemed to have no strength at all." Trunks started to look hopeful. "If 17's down that means we only have to deal with two of them. We could all attack them at once." "Not wanting to burst any bubbles of yours but three of you were unable to beat one Android. You and Vegeta are the next most powerful after Piccolo. If he takes on one of them you guys will be defeated by the other one and then they will both gang up on the Piccolo." "If they do it will be their mistake. Tien I need your help." "Ok." "Wait where are you two going?" "Android hunting, I'm getting revenge for Gohan!" White light suddenly exploded around him he flew straight up into the air. Tien flowed a couple of seconds later. Bulma turned in despair to look around her. But she couldn't find Goku. Finally she turned to Vegeta. "Why are you letting them go?" Vegeta looked surprised at being asked but his surprise quickly turned to anger. "Who do think I am, some sort of Boy Scout leader? You guys look after yourselves." His hair suddenly turned yellow. "I'm going off to train. I do not trust my future to that Namek. He may be powerful now but likely as not he will throw it all away. Just one thing, Piccolo says that 17 was injured. But who injured him? I don't think it was 16 and it couldn't have been 18." Suddenly he flew off as well and I noticed he went in another direction to Piccolo. Trunk's hair went blond as well and he followed his father. I was disappointed at this. Trunks was my next target to kill for a couple of reasons. The other warriors seemed shocked at the recent departure of so many people. Krillen turned to Bulma. "What was that supposed to mean?" Quietly I moved away from these two. Neither were of an interest to me. I would be interested to see the battle between Piccolo and the Androids. I wondered if he was really that strong. It would take my transformed state to beat him at least. But from what I had seen I thought I meet be able to change more than once a day. I wasn't exactly sure. But I was going to have to heal myself a bit. I flew off toward my space ship.

Android 17
Suddenly light seemed to flood through my vision. Sparks flew around me and I could feel intense pain for a second. I could see again! I looked about me. 16 was bending over me. "He is awake 18." I tried to sit up but the pain started to return. Ignoring this I continued to push and slowly gingerly I managed to stand. 18 ran over. "Are you ok?" "Yes, I think so but why am I so weak?" I turned to look at 16. My files said that he had the ability to repair. Your circuits are fried. That warrior seems to have seriously hurt your internal power source. From what I can see you might recover but it will take a long time." "Who is this warrior you are talking about?" 18 asked. This was going to take some time.
It was a couple of hours later. I could see 18 was sceptical of the girls power. She couldn't see why I felt so strongly about it. But she didn't understand how I felt. I had never been scared of anything before. I hated Dr Gero with venom but I was never scared of him. But that female was a different matter. It wasn't just her pure power, which was like nothing I had ever experienced before. But the anger and vicious glint in her eyes chilled me. In the few seconds that I had met her eye-to-eye I could see that she had killed on many occasions and she liked what she did. The souls of her victims seemed to surround her. Who was she and what was she doing here? And what exactly did she want? From what 18 was saying it seemed she was going to face her on a one on one. I couldn't dissuade her without sounding scared and my pride wouldn't allow this. 16 was still angry for some reason but I didn't know why. Maybe Piccolo had said something to him. "So are you feeling any stronger now 17?" "16 gave me some energy. I am no longer getting electrocuted and I think I might be able to fly." The energy that 16 had given had been quite a lot but to my surprise it didn't seem to fade him. I calculated my power was at something like a 100 or something really weak like that. Anyone could defeat me with ease. I was still subdued with these mournful thoughts when 16 suddenly looked up. "Piccolo is coming this way." 18 looked up. "I was hoping for a fight."
