Piccolo charged me again. Just before he made contact I threw myself sideways. As he went past I started to blast him. I got about ten hits on him before he blasted upwards. Bouncing off the ground I was after him like a missile. But I couldn't seem to catch him. I wasn't losing any ground but the distance between us wasn't getting any smaller. He was still going straight upwards and we were gaining a lot of altitude. Within ten seconds my friends looked like a tiny dots on the ground. Suddenly he disappeared into the clouds. Instead of following straight after him I burst through the clouds a little to the left. As I came out of the clouds I was suddenly was blinded by the sun. My optical chip started to work changing the glare. But just as it reached 75% I felt an incredible force to my spine. I actually heard a crack as I flew through downwards towards the clouds. Just before I reached the white cotton I felt an explosion that enveloped my body throwing me toward the ground at incredible speed. I barely had time to look up before I crashed head first into the ground. I was still for a second just trying to recover my senses. I heaved myself to my feat while running a data check round my body to see if I was still functioning properly. I felt pain around my cranium but other that some bruises I wasn't broken in any way. The green guy was really beginning to annoy me. He shouldn't be a threat but for some insane reason he seemed to be my equal. I felt anger welling up inside me. 17 would just be loving this, seeing me as the weak one. But I was the only one left, able to fight. Realisation hit like a shock. If I lost there would be no one left to fight. 16 wouldn't last long and 17 was helpless. If I made a mistake we all could die. I shook myself, time to stop thinking like that. Emotions were for the foolish humans, I was an unemotional Android. Closing my eyes I calmed myself and begin to think about the fight mechanically. Piccolo was a flesh and blood type even if he wasn't human. He didn't have the energy reserves that I had. I just had to ware him down. Piccolo was standing on a large rock staring at me, smiling cockily. As I watched he slow his arms into the ready position. So, he was defending this time was he? I would give him something to defend against. Jumping up into the air I raised my hand and started to blast him with small quick shots. He was surprised but he simply jumped upwards to dodge them, just as I knew he would. I was already flying towards him as he rose into the air. In slow motion it seemed to me he turned his face up to look at me. I raised my fist as I closed with him but instead I powered my knee into his stomach. As he fell back I let loose a full force roundhouse kick to his head. This time I had the pleasure to see him fall. But as he fell downwards his hand grasped my ankle tightly and threw me down as well. We landed at the same time and launched into each other again.

To my sight 18 and Piccolo seemed evenly matched, too evenly matched. "Why is 18 playing around with him? Doesn't she know we have more important things to do?" 16's eyes were grave as he looked at me. "18 isn't playing with him. By my calculations she is fighting at full power" "But that's ridiculous. Piccolo isn't a powerful fighter." I turned myself back to stare at the fight. Could Piccolo be 18's equal? To do that he would have had to grow in power by a huge amount. But for some reason that didn't seem so unbelievable to me anymore. Ever since we had destroyed Dr Gero there seemed to be a string of bad luck following us around. Wait a moment, why was I thinking like this? Why was I so depressed? I had never felt this way before. I was miserable and I felt like a weakling. Ever since my battle with the warrior I felt like this. Even thinking about her made me feel dread. This wasn't me, why was I like this? I was supposed to be the confident one, the optimist. I turned away from the battle to stare at the ground. Just in front of me was a puddle, which I stared at. My face was shocking to me. Once I had smiled with a confidence so bright and now I looked like someone had died. Maybe I had. Suddenly I felt my stomach lurch as I saw another reflection. One that filled me with deepest dread. I pulled my head up to find her only a couple of feet a way. She was smiling but I didn't feel like joining her. How could she sneak up on me like that? "Why so sad 17? Pick up your spirits a little; we can't have you committing suicide. Or I wouldn't have the fun of killing you."

Hearing us, 16 turned. His chiselled features, usually so morose seemed to fill with anger. But while he didn't say anything he moved side to side with 17. He was making it obvious that he wouldn't let me fight 17, even though he wouldn't fight me himself. I found this curious and even though I knew no good would come of it I had to tell him. "Goku is dead, you know. I killed him myself" But he didn't believe me. I didn't know why. Mind reading was one of my weaker powers. To make good use of it I had to be reasonably close and I could only read his present thoughts, never memories. Above me I could see 18 still fighting it out with Piccolo. They hadn't noticed me yet but I wondered how long this would last. As I watched them fight my blood started to race. Just watching the battle made me feel excited. I could barely stop myself from joining in. But I had to be careful. In this form I wasn't hugely powerful on this planet. I found amazing how powerful the fighters on this planet. In space there were few fighters who could match me. But here there were at least four or five powers equal or above my normal. It meant I had to be more careful than normal. I could always change in my second form but it would be too easy. Far to easy. In my demon form I would rip any opponent to shreds. Sometimes it was extremely hard to control. When this happened it tried to destroy all around it. It made for bad battles, there was no fun in destroying your opponent within the first couple of seconds in a battle. But I didn't need it for this present battle. If I kept my wits about me I could destroy 18 and maybe Piccolo. It would make for interesting fighting. I smiled as I watched the battle above me. I hadn't had so much fun in a long while.

I broke away from Piccolo again. I brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. Piccolo was certainly giving me a good fight. I had never experienced a power like his before. No one had ever had an equal footing with 17 or I. But underneath my enjoyment my brain was worried. What if the other Z fighters were able to increase their powers by this much? I might be able to overcome them all on my own. I would have to hurry and destroy them all before any of them started to increase their powers. Especially Goku. But I had to keep my attention on Piccolo. If I gave him too much of an opening he might be able to weaken me enough to destroy me. I had already suffered enough injury today. I felt weaker than I had for a long time. Sure I was only a little weaker than I had been before, but I didn't like it none the less. Piccolo was in worse shape, though which gave me some enthusiasm. How much more could he take at our present levels? Being a flesh and blood type he had the disadvantage in the endurance field. My data banks also told me that Piccolo wasn't the most resilient of my enemies. He was all about speed. And so far he didn't seem to have much of an advantage over me in this field. I glanced down to see how 17 was doing. To my surprise I saw that he was talking to someone. Someone who my data didn't recognise. A small girl with cat features, who was this freak? Suddenly something seemed to click in my head. I suddenly remembered how 17 had described his warrior. Turning my back on Piccolo I flew down to join my brother. From up close she didn't seem to much of a fighter. She was about half my size! "Is this the warrior ?" I asked with heavy irony. I expected him to laugh but he turned and I could see the fear in his eyes. "Yes." I didn't know what shocked me more. The fact that 17 had lost to this child or that he was scared of her. I glanced at her and saw that she was smiling. I couldn't sense any fear coming from her. "Hello 18, I don't think we've met before" I narrowed my eyes. "I wouldn't get to conformable. I'm going to get revenge for what you did to my brother." "I wasn't aware that machines had families. In fact your not really alive are you. You're just bits of date and metal. I don't really trust technology myself." She moved into a fighting stance her claws slicing out of her paws. "I rely on strength alone." I readied myself. I remembered what I had thought earlier on. It was important I didn't underestimate her. She had beaten 17. Suddenly someone else landed beside me. "What's wrong 18? Are you finally feeling fear ore regret for what you did to Gohan!" "Shut up Piccolo, I'm not fighting you anymore. I've got more important thing to do." "Like what? Buy some new clothes?" he said with heavy sarcasm. "She's fighting me." Piccolo turned and for the first time he noticed her. "Who are you? Another Android?" "Hardly," she nodded down to 17 "I destroyed that Android there. Apparently she wants revenge. If she defeats me you could always step in and finish her yourself." "A battlefield is no place for a child." "I have no other home." I was sick of this dialogue. I was beginning to believe less and less that she would be much of an opponent. But I couldn't let her weaken me too much. Then Piccolo would seize his chance to destroy me. I would also have to get rid of her quickly before Piccolo was given the chance to heal. I suddenly jumped forward with no warning, my fist cocking behind my head. As I flew towards her she turned her face just to the right my punch lightly grazing her cheek. Her paw smashed into the back of my head hitting me down to the ground. Just before I hit I managed to flip upwards and land on my feet. I expected to find her flying towards me but she was still in the same position. Her smile seemed to widen. "Not fast enough 18?" I clenched my fists. She was faster than I predicted. Suddenly she was flying towards me. I threw a punch to meet her but she had already bounced her foot off the ground flipping over me. I turned with a reverse roundhouse kick but she managed to duck this. My kick had been too powerful, it swung me out of position. Before I could stop the movement she formed a blast at my side and this exploded me backwards. But I managed to stop myself before I went into the cliff. Her paw was still outstretched after the attack. "A bit sloppy 18. I expected more from you." I had to struggle to calm myself. This was probably how she took out 17, by making him angry. Well I wouldn't fall for the same trick.
