Suiceene
With a snarl my once again started to struggle, trying to throw the Androids off. But it was useless and we both knew that. Brute force wasn't working; I had to find another way to free myself. When it came down to pure strength I surpassed the Androids by a large extent, but they had pinned my arms so far back that I couldn't use my superior power. The force on my arms didn't change; it never seemed to waver in the slightest. I couldn't expect the Androids grip to suddenly slacken or accidentally let go. No, I had to find some other method to try and get free. The power of the Spirit Bomb kept increasing, it created a feeling of desperation, to feel it grow bigger and bigger and being unable to do anything about it. There had to be some other method to get free, there had to be!
I closed my eyes and started to concentrate; slowly feeling the desperate feelings recede. For a second I hadn't been in control of myself. A Sayain never panicked; equally we never felt fear however small it was. We had to use our brain to get out of this situation. I started to try and analyse the problem in my mind letting all the other thoughts disappear. Questions started to surface in my head. Why were the Androids doing this? Did they know what they were doing? Were they prepared to die? I decided to put these questions to the Androids, try to make them change their plan. At best they might let me go, or they might start to loosen accidentally if I made them angry. I didn't have great hopes for my plan though. From my little experience computers tended to be obstinate and they did what they wanted to do. They also tended to be emotionless and efficient. While I was doing this, my Daemon was going to concentrate all of its energy into reading their minds. She wasn't happy doing this but she had also calmed down enough to realise that our little hope of surviving depended on finding some weakness in the Androids, either in their minds or in their bodies. I placated her by reminding her of the great bloodbath that was going to follow shortly.
I turned my head to my right and just managed to catch sight of the Android holding my right arm. It was the male one.

Android 17
Her face portrayed no emotion except for the ice-cold expression from her purple eyes. It seemed she was in control of herself again. "Why are you doing this?" The question surprised me, I hadn't expected her to try and speak to us. "To kill you, why else?" "But you won't be killing me, it will be the humans who deliver the final blow." Her voice was clear and slightly deep, utterly void of expression. "It doesn't matter how you die as long as you are killed." "You will of course also perish if I die. Any attack powerful enough to kill me will also destroy you both." I thought I saw 18 jerk slightly but when I turned to look at her, she hadn't moved and still held the same empty expression that all Androids wore. She obviously hadn't been expecting that, to be true I hadn't admitted that fact to myself either. It was hard to believe that this was how we were going to die, clutching onto a small alien so that she couldn't defend herself against an attack which would also destroy us as we couldn't defend ourselves. My computer started to try and calculate methods to prevent death. If we let go of her at the last second, then we could… No there was no way we could do that. All Suiceene would need was a couple of seconds to escape. We had to stay with her until the bitter end. Suddenly I remembered that Suiceene had spoken, I couldn't show a sign of weakness or she would jump upon it. "We would die anyway, if we were not pinning you, you would already have killed us." "But you would then die fighting, a noble death rather than dying trying to hold me back." "Does it matter how you die, you are still dead." "Of course it matters, it is a great honour to die fighting a superior opponent." 18 suddenly joined in on our conversation "It doesn't matter how we die just as long we take you down with us." Suiceene's eye continued to bore into mine but she was silent for a couple of seconds. When she did speak again it was to both of us. "The humans are your enemies, who you were programmed to kill. Why then do you sacrifice yourselves to save them?" Save the humans, we weren't trying to do that, we wanted to destroy them….
I suddenly realised what she was trying to do and replied quickly before 18 could say anything. "Human lives are petty, to kill you is much more important. Nothing else matters as long as you die!" Her answer was swift. "Why is my death so important to you?" For a second I was speechless at her words. "After all you have done to us you dare ask that?!" "All I have done to you?" Her audacity was creating feelings inside of me that had seemed to be dead. Anger flooded my head and I could barley keep my arms from shaking. "First you attack me for no reason and leave me crippled. You then slowly torture 18 before driving a hole though her chest. After that you kill our only friend 16. He wouldn't have harmed a fly and you brutally murdered him. You leave us crippled wrecks forced to run from the Z fighter's and forced to beg help from humans who we were meant to kill. And then for no reason at all you rip my sisters arm off!" Throughout my long rant the purple eye didn't waver but kept staring into mine. Slowly her mouth opened in a cruel smile. "Would you like me to finish you off now? It seems your main gripe is that you are still alive. The Android you know as 16 self-destructed," she cocked her head sideways, "something I'm surprised you haven't tried to do." And with cold realisation that removed the last of my anger I remembered about the bomb deep inside me. For a second I was surprised my computer hadn't suggested it, but then it was a last ditch gesture. My computer didn't want to suggest something that would definitely destroy us. "If you both self-destructed at the same time you would definitely destroy me" Suddenly I heard another voice, far below. "Only a little longer Androids, we are almost ready." Which would be better, to self-destruct or to let the Ki from the Z fighters destroy her? And as if she could read my mind Suiceene went on "If you self-destructed then you would have killed me yourselves and not let the Z fighters do it. You would have finally beat them at something." She was right; we would have secured revenge for 16's death. And if we self-destructed we would be sure that Suiceene would be killed. There was no chance of her surviving both our explosions and the attacks of the Z fighters….
But then I suddenly realised, why was Suiceene telling us this when it was surely signing her own death warrant? Why was that cruel smile still on her lips? How did our self-destructing advantage her?

Android 18
It was as if we were in the middle of a thunderstorm. Energy sparked, dark green from Suiceene and blue from the two of us. All around us it seemed the energy was fighting its own private battles, the two colours hitting again and again into each other. Even after our training in space when I had got used to the power it still created a buoyant feeling inside me. With so much power inside of me how could I hope to lose? But that feeling had been proved wrong. All the new energy we had gained was only able to pin Suiceene and prevent her from fighting back. We couldn't fight her face to face; she was been just too powerful, especially now that I had lost my arm. But as Suiceene had just told us, there was another way we could destroy her. How come then, the thought of it made me feel uneasy? If we did self-destruct it would bring an end to this matter once and for all. And we would go out with a bang….
All this hate with filled my chest would finally be released; I could be deleted with my heart clear. 17's face turned to mine and our eyes locked. What should we do? The question was not spoken, but it didn't need to be. My computer was adamant against it but suddenly I didn't care anymore. I was going to do it! 16 had given up his life for us; it was only fair we do the same for his memory. Slowly 17's head seemed to nod, he was going to do it as well! It was decided then, we were going to do it! I closed my eyes and concentrated on starting the program in my head. After a couple of seconds wait a message flashed in my head. It was the only failsafe programmed into me. All I had to do was accept the message and that was it. No more messages, no more stops, nothing could stop me from self-destructing. There was no way it could be stopped. The realisation of this sent a shiver down my spine. The self-protection system programmed into me was going wild. It was desperately trying to stop me in the vain hope that I might still survive. I tried to ignore it, banish all feelings and just accept the message. I selected the icon and then hesitated. This was it, all I needed to do was release and that would be it. My life would be over. I would cease to exist as a thinking being. I could never again question myself; I could never talk to 17 again. I could never do anything again. How could it come down to this, deciding whither I live or die? How could this situation have got this bad? Surely I didn't have to die, this couldn't be the end. I tried to accept the icon but I couldn't. In the end I unselected the icon. The screen disappeared and the program stopped. If I was a human I would have cried. I had let 17 down, I was too weak. I couldn't just die. Any second now his explosion would ring out. I would either die from that or by the attacks from the Z fighters. I was going to die anyway, my weakness hadn't saved me.
Slowly I opened my eyes, I might as well catch my last glimpse of 17, the last glimpse of life. But as I looked at my brother I was surprised. His eyes moved up to catch mine. There was a kind of hopelessness in them, the same feeling I felt at this very moment. He couldn't do it either!

Suiceene
I smiled slightly as I felt the Androids both pull back at the last moment. I had known they couldn't do it. They didn't have the strength of their friend. They couldn't sacrifice their lives just to kill me. It was working just as I had expected. The Androids grip loosened slightly as their thoughts were concentrating on other depressing subjects, the female one especially. Suddenly I heard a voice, "Now!" All the energy I could sense, above and below. There was one attack, which was especially concentrated coming from the Namek…. With two sharp movements I wrenched my arms from the grips of the Androids, and placing my paws against their chests I blasted the two Androids downwards. I didn't need the two of them to distract me at this vital moment. But I was too late. Even as the two Androids descended the two huge clouds of energy closed in towards me. With a cry of anger I concentrated my Ki into my paws which were pointed at the bright light just above me. Green light exploded round me as I blasted a beam into the Spirit bomb, we had to stop it! We had not fought in space for all these years to be defeated on a planet like this! My daemon and I worked in perfect unison, every thought exactly the same, pushing all we had into the Spirit Bomb. But it was still moving; I hadn't been able to stop it! The energy from below had almost exploded into me before I remembered it. Wrenching one paw down, I pointed it downwards and let loose with another Ki attack. My mouth was open in a scream, which couldn't be heard over the din of the Ki. My eyes rolled back as I continued to push, to try and somehow stop the twin attacks. But the lights from both sides continued to push in closer and closer, till I was engulfed in their light. As a last gesture my arms were crossed across my face in a vain attempt to block the attacks. When the explosion finally happened I seemed strangely detached from the noise. All there was bright white light. My feelings were mixed at this point. Fierce anger at being beaten, at finally being stopped. But what did I have left to live for; the Changelings were gone, their empire broken. An old Sayain verse entered my head. "For upon entering the lands of the Gods they will be satisfied. Enemies of past and present. Our greatest kings to serve. Never ending quests…"

The explosion boomed through the sky sending shockwaves and earthquakes worldwide. The earth seemed to shudder on its axis before continuing on its normal rotation. Dust filled the sky for miles around in an enormous explosion. On a faraway planet a middle aged Sayain dressed in rich finery let loose an ear-splitting cry at the sight before him. "NO!!!" On earth there was no movement around the battlefield for five minutes before the Z fighters began to pick themselves up from the ground. A little away from this deep underground two Androids started to monitor their life signals to see if anything was broken.
