Android 18
Unfortunately Piccolo changed course. According to 16 he seemed to be sweeping the area trying to find us. Why was he so keen? The last time we had met we had dealt with very easily. True 17 was unable to battle but I would be more than enough to take him on. I was more worried about the other fighter. That someone could have the power to do that to 17 was unsettling. She would have to be got rid of as soon as possible. I knew she had power but I wasn't scared about-facing her one on one. According to what 17 had said, he had underestimated her. I would not make this mistake, 17 had played around with her and this was his reward. I would have to try and take her out as soon as the fight started. It was night now and 17 was asleep. He seemed unnaturally helpless now he was weak. He seemed to spend all his time moping around. He didn't believe that I could beat the female, which I was angry about. From the person who had always been so confident he really seemed to have changed. He didn't know how to deal with his apparent lack of power. 16 was also acting strangely, or different from what he had been like before. He seemed to be on an edge and it was obvious he was angry about something. He had seemed so calm before. What exactly had happened when I had left? This warrior seemed to be something else. Standing up I started to walk away from our camp and down towards a lake I had seen. I felt I needed some exercise and I needed to get away from the gloom and anger of my friends. As I walked I considered how everything had started to go different from the plan. To begin with everything had been successful, we had defeated most of the Z fighters and we had went after the one remaining challenge, Goku. But 17 had delayed and by the time I had reached his house the mighty Sayain had died and his son was dying and I was blamed for their deaths. Wait a moment, who had killed Goku? I stopped to think over this. It wasn't one of us and it obviously wasn't one of the Z fighters. I remembered what Gohan had murmured about a female. It must have been that girl. But why would she want to kill Goku? I had assumed that when she attacked 17 that she must be one of Goku's friends that Gero had missed but she couldn't be if she killed his son and him. Suddenly I remembered that Gero had always been obsessed with Goku. Every Android he produced had to kill Goku. Could she be an Android that Gero had kept a secret from us? That would explain why 16 could sense her and why she killed Goku. And of course Gero had distrusted us, and that would be why she was trying to kill us now. But if she was this powerful why was still carrying out the doctor's orders? Maybe I was right, or I might be wrong. I would find soon but now I needed to recover and prepare for the oncoming fights. I was getting the feeling that I would end up in a lot over the next couple of days.

I stared out of the corner of my eyes waiting from a movement. My claws were outstretched waiting expectantly. Sweat poured down my body from the recent exercise. Suddenly I sensed rather that saw the oncoming blast. I flipped back wards but another attack slammed into my back. I fell forwards before punching the ground throwing myself up again. I swung my leg out managing to block the oncoming attack. Suddenly the fighter was on me and I had just time to raise a block to the head punch. His strength hit me backwards and he took this opportunity to kick my unprotected stomach. I fell backwards I raised my head in time to receive an uppercut to the jaw. I flew upwards in the air. Ignoring the pain I focused my energy and stopped myself. Before he had time to attack again my tail whipped round cutting a line across his chest. I followed this up with two punches to his stomach doubling him up. Turing 360 degrees I let loose a roundhouse kick with as much power as I could. He flew downwards creating a deep impression. Though I was out of breath and in pain, I brought my paws together pointing downwards. I started to push all the energy I could down into my paws. I didn't know how much longer he would be but I knew this was my last chance of victory. The ball began to swell in my paws but it wasn't quick enough, it needed to charge quicker! I closed my eyes and began to scream as I pushed all I had through my paws. My body was screaming at me to stop but I had to finish the attack. I was too weak at this point to attack with something else. The beam attach should also be powerful enough to destroy him. If it wasn't I was in trouble. Finally I was forced to stop. I just didn't have the energy to continue. I landed roughly on the ground, falling to my knees. My chest was heaving and my breaths were sharp painful pants. But I managed to turn my head and stare in the direction of the crater. Slowly, ever so slowly the dust started to clear. To my relief my target was gone. I wasn't sure how I would have coped if he had still been up. Probably been given a bad beating. Over the nine years I had lived I had, had quite a number of those and I didn't particularly want another. Especially from a computer program. There was no dignity in that. Concentrating my last vestiges of power I concentrated on the computer. A switch clicked and the gravity suddenly lightened. It was always a shock for the first couple of seconds how light real gravity really was. Slowly and painfully I raised myself to my feet. It was much easier in this gravity but it was still painful to move. I managed to stumble out of the training room and continuing to ignore my body I made my way through the corridor. Finally I saw the seat and I collapsed into it. Comfort didn't play a big part in my life but I allowed myself this weaknesses. My excuse was that it allowed me to regain energy quicker. As I laid back I examined my body. My right leg was dislocated and I was bleeding from a couple of points. And my shoulder had popped loose. But these were only minimal injuries. A good rest would relieve me of these and hopefully re-energise me. My training was strict and I allowed myself no relief from fighting. It had and always had been the centre of my life. That was why I had been called to this plain of existence. I found solace in fighting; it was all I had ever known. When you were created simply for fighting other feelings made you weak. That was what I had been taught. I could feel sleep over taking my body but I still had things to do. I placed one paw over the computer and operated the last program. The computer started to search the earth. I had placed a tiny amount of energy in 17. In seconds the computer found him and the other Androids. I memorised the area code and then I turned off the computer. Sleep was surrounding my senses and I had no power left to resist it. I lay back against the comfort of the chair and curled myself into a ball wrapping my tail around myself. In seconds I was dead to the world.

It was four days since my battle with the female and I was feeling slightly better. I had been recovering energy up to yesterday when I suddenly stopped. It seemed that was the full extent of my recovery. 16 could do nothing else. I knew eventually we would turn to one source. Bulma, but to get to her we would have to get through the Z fighters. But it wasn't them I was afraid of. Why hadn't she attacked us? Maybe she was just biding her time. In any case it was now the best idea to make hay as they said. We had nothing really to loose. 18 looked happy to be finally moving. Looking at her I could see she was like I had been before. Why had I changed? I was an Android, never supposed to feel fear or any other human emotions. Something must have scrambled my systems or something. Or was there another reason? Were we really just Androids or something bigger than that? 19 had been created like a pure machine and that was why he responded like one. But we were capable of making our own choices; we even attached our own creator and went about doing what we desired and ignoring the doctor's demands. These traits were human, not those of an obedient machine. Could we be part human? As I looked across at my sister I could see her excitement. An Android shouldn't be excited. It was at this point that 16 suddenly stopped his flight. "Piccolo is coming this way." Why did the Namek have to try and challenge us when he knew he couldn't win? Well it would so good to get one of them out of the way. But this time there would be no mercy. He would die.

As we knew he was coming we decided to land. 17 was still weak, he insisted that he was strong enough to fly but I felt better with him on the ground. But it wasn't as if this was going to a big challenge. Vegeta and his friends had been a bit of a challenge. I remembered with anger my feelings as Vegeta's attack had hit me. I had actually thought that I was going to die. How could I have been so weak, so scared, so human. It filled me with embarrassment. I shook away these feelings. I had told them the next time someone challenged me their advance would be met with death. I was not going to hold back on my words. The Namek was going to shown that we Androids did not mince our words. I landed on the ground. For some reason the Z fighters preferred to fight like this. As I was so much stronger that him it was only fair that I was going to give him a chance. He arrived as 16 said he would, still in his training clothes. There was an angry scowl on his face that was nearly always there. Didn't he realise that he should relax sometimes. 16 and 17 were almost as bad, too tense. " So I've finally found you Androids. Sick of hiding away and ready to pay for your deeds." "When did you become so righteous? I seem to have memories of you doing the same as us." I could this struck a note within him. He seemed to tense up more if that was possible. "I'm better now. But I will still kick your ass." "I'd like to see you try Namek." He removed his outer garments and threw them to the ground. Bending slightly he started to power up. While the white light started to swirl around him he continued to speak to me. "The last I fought I was weak but I have got a lot stronger. So strong I don't even know my own limits. This will be a good time to test them. If you thought Vegeta was strong you better surrender now." "If you remember 17 only took two attacks to be rid of you. You might last a little longer with me. I like to play with my victims for a little while." The ground started to shake and then started to crack and then suddenly there was a huge crater beneath the Namek. He disappeared from view. I was still nonplussed. From my data banks I knew that the Z fighters could let the power come from them in a variety of ways. The Namek was just showing off. I was glad he thought he had enough power to use trick like that. I certainly didn't think he had. Suddenly he floated up. The aura surrounding him burned bright and white. It had a certain glare to it that I had never seen before. Suddenly he leaped forward faster than I could follow and his punch connected with my chin.
