Down deep below the earth's surface there was no noise, only deep silence. Down here nothing moved, time which had seemed so vital on the surface had no meaning down here. I could stay down here for five minutes or five years, the rock wouldn't change in the slightest.
I started to monitor my systems so ready to believe so readily that I had survived my bout with Suiceene. How was it that she died and I still lived? Before my eyes I watched again and again the scene. Both 17 and I had been too weak to self-detonate and if that wasn't bad enough Suiceene had also used this to break free from us. Even as I broke through the earth's surface I was still charged with my inner power. I should have still been able to hold onto Suiceene. Just because of our weakness, just because I had let myself become overwhelmed with thoughts of self protection I had let Suiceene go. She had almost escaped destruction and that would have meant the destruction of everything else on this planet including me. I tried to banish these thoughts and concentrate on getting back to the surface. Despite the loss of my arm my systems were still working to at least 85% efficiency and I had been lucky to sustain no other injuries except slight burning to my chest. On the other hand my power supplies were at an extremely low ebb, so low I had a little trouble moving the rocks around my body. Normally I would have simply destroyed these rocks but to do so at my present state would have been madness. As I slowly rose upwards I cast my senses around the battlefield but I sensed no Ki energy being emitted. It was too hopeful to suppose that they had been killed, they must have already started their flight home. As soon as we recharged we might pay them a visit, I needed Bulma to fix my arm anyway. I trusted she would be co-operative if the life of one of her family was one the line….
I finally broke the surface of the ground to find 17 standing before me. Behind him was a huge mountain of rock that hadn't been there before. Behind me in comparison the ground was completely flattened, slanting downwards. It seemed we were standing on the edge of the crater. 17 reached down and helped me to my feet. "I was beginning to worry you might never come out. Come on, we have to recharge ourselves." I was going to reply to him when my attention was caught by a movement by the huge mound of earth. 6 figures landed around us, Goku, Vegeta, Krillen, Yamsha, Tien and Piccolo. How could I have been so careless? They must have hiding their Ki, but that was no excuse, I should have sensed them. They had obviously been waiting for us, knowing that we were hidden beneath the rocks. The six figures were bloodstained and dusty but with a sinking heart I realised that in our weak state they would still be enough to destroy us. How could I have been so careless? Vegeta started to clench his fists glowering at us. "Its time to finish this," he growled. Beside him the Namek agreed "The whole thing started with you Androids. In a couple of seconds it will be all over." Beside me 17 suddenly interjected "You couldn't have defeated Suiceene without our help. Is that worth nothing?" "What are you saying?" Goku's voice wasn't as loud as the other two but it was just as bitter. The silence that followed was so quiet I heard a small stone rolling down the mound behind 17. "Are you trying to say you don't want to fight us anymore?" For the third time I ran my eyes all around me, there had to be some way we could get out of this! Vegeta had started to pace looking like an angry animal. "Of course they don't want to fight us, they know they can't win," he glanced at me, "what with one of them being so injured. If they thought they had a chance to win they would have already attacked." "Maybe so, but they did help us," Goku replied. They completely surrounded us, there was no way we could escape. Our only option was to try and convince them we meant no harm but how we were going to do that I had no idea. All the faces turned toward us were scowling . How could it have come about again that they were going to come out on top. How could this group of warriors defeat every foe they came across? Before the fight started Suiceene, 17 and I were all more powerful than any of them. And yet they were still all standing, without one casualty. "What about this mercy which you used to stand for Goku? Are you going to murder us now when we are helpless?" I heard more stones fall as silence fell across our little group again. My eyes were fixed on Goku. What was he going to do now? The tall Sayain started to speak and everyone paused to listen. He was still their unquestioned leader even after all this time. "When you attacked Suiceene that last time you both changed and I was able to sense your Ki. At full power the both of you are capable of defeating us. So if I let you go now and you were still committed to evil you would destroy the earth like Gero told you to. If you want us to spare your lives you are going to have to convince all of us that you two have changed and that you will kill no more."

He wanted us to do something, probably something specific. But even as thoughts of what he might get us to do flooded through my mind I also realised something important. There were at least two people, Vegeta and Piccolo, who wanted us dead and would not appreciate Goku letting us off. Even now they were arguing with him. If we had to do a test they would watch us like hawks. To convince them, especially the Namek we would have to do it truthfully. We would actually have to become like them. At first the thought repulsed me but certain parts of me warmed to the idea. I would never have to kill again, we would live and we would be filling out 16's dream. Part of myself screamed back about being weak, that killing was what I was made for….
My thoughts were interrupted as I heard the sound of a rockslide. Looking up abstractly I wondered if the entire mound of rocks would collapse, if it did we were in the worst possible place. It was strange but my eyes seemed to be drawn towards looking at the rocks. Perhaps it was because it represented the simplicity of earth itself. It was far and away from the complicated, confusion of the surface dwellers. A large rock suddenly shot up like the bullet from the barrel of a gun. A little nagging sensation of dread started to grow as I continued to watch the mound which had started to shake. A volcano, it had to be a volcano. Fire started to shoot out of the top of the mound. But instead of fiery red it was a much darker shade of green. The dread started to grow and I began to fervently wish, hope against hope that it wasn't her. Suddenly the top of the mound exploded bathing everywhere with its dark green light. A dark shadow rose into the center of green before making its decent towards earth. It landed a little way from us and as the green light retreated I got my first real sight of her. The long spiky green hair pointing towards the sky, the face splattered with blood, with the haunting purple eyes staring straight at us. The black markings stood out all over her face, tail, arms and legs. Suiceene was back, apparently without injury. I heard stifled cries and gasps from the people around me. It was as if we were in a dream. It was impossible, how could she still be alive!? I expected her to move forward, to attack and destroy us but she didn't move anything but her arms which raised up to her chest. It was only then that I noticed the only marked change in her appearance. The dark green armour which she wore on her chest seemed splintered and broken. As I watched she grabbed hold of a piece of it and pulled it out. From the blood on it I saw that it had been deeply imbedded into her shoulder. For the next couple of moments she continued to pull these out, never flinching, never changing her expression or moving her eyes which continued to bore into us. As she removed that last piece I suddenly saw a sight which shocked me. In the center of her belly was a large hole about the size of my hand. From this wound blood had already formed a puddle beneath her. She then started to pull black material seemingly out of the air and wrapped this around the wound. For my part I was amazed she was still standing with a wound like that. A human would probably have bled to death by this point but she was still in her second form. Suddenly the Namek started to laugh. It was dry and I could sense very little humour behind it. "That was my attack that did that, the Special Beam Cannon! I will be the one who has killed you. That makes three Sayains it's killed now!"
He started to laugh again but even as he started Suiceene appeared beside him. In a movement too fast to trace her arm smashed into his chest before coming back out. I saw it for a brief second holding something red before she crushed it. As Piccolo fell to his knees blood sprouting from his mouth she whipped round cutting his head from his shoulders. For a second there was a shocked silence before the two Sayains sprung forward. But even as they had started their move they were both flying into the ground. The three humans hesitated but still flew at her. I couldn't see why, they were too weak to hurt her. They embedded themselves into the ground just beside us. With a shock I realised she was staring at us. So far her face still wore the same cold expression. It gave me more of a chill than anything else, the realisation that she was completely in control and not gripped by a wild anger. She raised her paw, claws slicing out…. Suddenly light winds hit into us and something landed behind Suiceene. As she turned round, I noticed two things. One, blood also dripped from the back of Suiceene, Piccolo's attack had punched straight through her and that Bulma had jumped out of the flying car, a baby clutched in her arms. "What happened, have we won?" Her face suddenly paled as she perceived the Daemon standing in front of her, its paw dripping with blood. Suiceene started to move towards her, her green aura intensifying around her. Bulma seemed paralysed with fear, she was pale and shaking but couldn't seem to move. In her arms the baby started to cry. As Suiceene stopped in front of her, I felt I should do something but I could do nothing. The completely irrelevant thought suddenly crossed my mind, this is what Goku was talking about, if I saved Bulma I would have proved myself. But that and all other thoughts exited my mind as I watched the scene in front of me. I couldn't have tore my eyes away even if I wanted to. Suiceene was standing in front of Bulma, seeming so small compared to the woman. But it was the woman who was shaking uncontrollably with fear.
