One minute it was just 18 and the female, then the next second there was this golden warrior and 18 was flying into a rock face. What had just happened? I focused my eyes towards this new threat. It took me a couple of seconds to recognise the face, as it seemed different. But there was no mistaking him. Finally we had met Goku. Even inside my own fear that had sprung up since I had been defeated I felt excitement. This was the warrior we had been programmed to kill. But my common sense started to prevail. From what I was seeing Goku didn't seem to be attacking the female, he actually helped her up. She must be fighting with them, I suddenly realised. But that meant three against one. 18 didn't stand a chance. But I couldn't even help my sister at her time of need. I was helpless as a human, only good for a spectator. Despair flowed over me again. Not only was I going to die but now my sister as well. Any hope of reclaiming my past strength suddenly evaporated. This was going to be the final battlefield. One last stand before destruction. If only it hadn't been for the intervention of that other warrior. She hadn't been in the doctor's calculations. But nothing he could have done could stop her I realised. We were his most powerful creations as she had swept me away like an insignificant fly. My last remaining hope had been that she might have tried to fight the Z fighters as well. Piccolo didn't seem to know her but from Goku's actions I could see she was their ally and not their enemy. All hope was lost.

I pulled myself to my feet slowly. What had just happened? I was just about to launch the final blow into the alien fiend when something had hit me with incredible force. That backsliding Namek! Suddenly someone materialised in front of me. I readied myself to meet either the female or the Namek but it was neither. The warrior who faced me was taller than me but not as large as Piccolo. He had golden hair that resembled Vegeta's and a face like his as well. But it was as I focused in on his face my computer banks found a matching photo. I broke into a smile. "Well if it…." My speech was cut short by his punch imbedding itself in my gut. I fell back, shocked, blood oozing from my mouth. His kick caught me under my chin and sent me flying backwards into some rocks. Seconds later I tore through the rocks livid. No one stops my speeches. But as I closed with him I was met face on with Goku's trade mark Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha. The power from this was incredible throwing me back down into the ground with more power than I had experienced from either of the other two fighters. This time I wasn't able to get to my feet in time before her started to attack. His hand fastened around my scalp and then his fist imbedded itself square in my face. His foot then swung in a roundhouse kick throwing me into another rockface. Goku was too powerful! My memory banks said he shouldn't have a hundredth of this power. As I forced myself to my feet again I saw him high above me forming a ball of energy. "ANDROID!!" he yelled down at me. "You killed my son and wife. Now it is time for you to feel their pain!" I smiled at this. Goku had made one mistake; there was no way he was going to win a beam a beam battle that I was sure of. I placed my hands high above my head and began to generate energy. Electricity started to spark as it started to build. As Androids we were much more efficient at producing Ki energy than the mere humans were. Goku may have had the advantage before earlier in the battle but that was only because he had caught me off guard. One on one he was no match for me. I looked up to see he had already fired his attack down at me. I waited until his was close to me before firing mine. It took a few seconds before both collided with each other. I wasn't prepared for the shock that came down through my body as they both touched. I had expected mine to eat straight through his but it wasn't. Both were grinding together sending shock waves all around us. Ki energy also started to spark around both as the Ki started to build up. This was impossible! The amount of energy I was inputting wasn't able to budge his attack. Mine was the only one loosing ground. This wasn't good enough 18. I reached inside myself and began to draw on more power before unleashing it in an attack against him. The ball started to move up my attack before crunching into his attack throwing it back. Yes! But my joy was short lived. My energy had only started to advance before Goku managed to equal it with power of his own. No matter how much I pushed I couldn't seem to push his back. What was going on? My central data collector was going on the blink. It just didn't compute. I was using 45% of my whole power source at the moment and the earthling equalled me. I was on optimum efficiency as well. Nothing was wrong with me but yet I couldn't seem to better him.

The sky had gone dark again and rain had started to fall. In the presence of so much Ki energy a storm was being whipped up. Just perfect for me with open circuits. I just had to hope that Gero had built me well enough to weather this. 18 and Goku were fighting on the very edge of the city at the moment, though you couldn't really call it a city any more. With all the fighting that was going on the outskirts of the city were taking a heavy beating. Human casualties were rising as panic rose. So far I hadn't heard any sirens just as yet but they wouldn't be far away. I looked back to 18's fight. The ball of energy between them was growing as both fighters poured all their energy into their attacks. Stray Ki ripped though the ground and destroyed buildings. For some reason 18 was having a hard time trying to best Goku. The form he was in resembled that of Vegeta and if his power was anyway similar she shouldn't have any trouble. She was probably just playing with him. But this was not the time for playing, not by any means. She still had to worry about Piccolo and the other warrior. I glanced over at her despite the fear in my belly. Her arms were crossed and she was paying full attention to the fight. It was impossible for me to know what she was thinking, I didn't know how her mind worked but if her expression was anything to go by she wasn't in a good mood. Her eyes were narrowed but I wasn't sure why she would be angry. If I was right about her power why should she be angry with either fighters? Why didn't she change form when 18 was going to kill her? Maybe she couldn't anymore, it could only have been a once off. As I started to analyse these thoughts I started to think I might be right. She mightn't be that tough.

I had finally come up with the solution to my problem. There was no point imputing more energy into the attack. I was losing enough energy as it was. My one option was to wait this one out. Goku was obviously using something like a Kio-Ken to keep up this kind of power. He would soon weaken and then I would beat him. I just had to wait this out. Suddenly something happened. I heard this loud scream from above me. I looked though the glare and the rain to see what was going on. Suddenly there was this huge golden explosion around the fighter above me. Something was happening. Goku's blast was beginning to retract slightly but my computer systems recognised this. He wasn't weakening; he was simply drawing in his power before throwing something bigger at me. I steadied myself and concentrated on my beam. All I had to do was ride this one out and Goku would be finished. As I focused my eyes above me I suddenly spotted his attack rolling down with a seemingly unstoppable force. As it swallowed up his attack it started to grow, like a snowball down a hill. By the time it hit my blast it seemed huge. I had readied myself but his strength was too much! Instead of loosing speed as it encountered my attack it only seemed to go faster. As it closed with me I pushed as hard as I could but it was all in vein. It just wouldn't stop. Seconds before it hit I reached into my main power source and threw it at it. But it was too late. I had waited too long before I did this and it made little difference. His attack seemed to swallow me before it detonated around me.

I was forced to cover my face as the explosion rocked around me. It was immense throwing energy all everywhere. Some of the energy came towards me throwing me backwards and it was only for 16 catching me that I wasn't seriously injured. I waited a couple of seconds before opening my eyes afraid of what I might see. There was this huge crater where 18 had been. Several buildings near this were also completely destroyed. Dust was everywhere; half choking me and making me cough. I took a couple of seconds before it started to clear, the winds and rain dissipating it quickly. I glanced around me hoping to see at least some of the Z fighters injured. But unluckily for us the seemed unaffected. Piccolo didn't seem to have a scratch on him and the unknown fighter had the same cuts and scratches she had had before. I looked up at Goku expecting to see him completely worn out. But to my shock he wasn't. It was a different emotion for exhaustion that seemed to be affecting him. The veins were standing out on his forehead and muscles. His face was also transfixed with a rage I had never seen in them before. Gero's description of Goku had been as an ever-happy young child who rarely got angry. The man in front of me seemed to resemble Piccolo in the old days. Rage seemed to have possessed him entirely. Suddenly he arched down straight towards the crater. I glanced over there just in time to see 18 get up, her legs wobbling. Suddenly 16 disappeared from my side and went as if he was going to try and intercept Goku. What was he doing? If 18 was having a hard time against Goku he didn't stand a chance. Was he suicidal or something?

I felt dazed and slightly sick. The blast hadn't injured me in any important way but my whole body was feeling pain for one of the few times in my life. This really didn't seem to be my day. I was in my third fight in only an hour and I hadn't resolved either of the other two yet. Suddenly I looked up in time to see Goku heading straight for me. But I was still in shock and I wasn't able to do anything other than stare up at him. Just before he would have made contact 16 suddenly materialised in front of me. Goku seemed surprised for he lifted off and landed instead of continuing his attack. When I walked round from the back of my large ally I could see Goku was glaring at him. Suddenly while they were still staring Piccolo landed beside Goku and opposite me. Seconds later the other warrior landed. But she didn't take Goku's other side. She landed a little away from both groups obviously not allying herself with either but still close to both. She was incongruous to the scene with so many large warriors, being so small and child like. But her expression was nothing like that of a child's. She was angry about something, and I wondered what. But I shook myself from this train of thought. I had more important things to worry about, namely this apparent standoff. Weighing the powers of both sides, even a fool could see we were outclassed. I would have to think of something fast.
