Chapter 5: Avenging Angel
Two weeks before Shen Long is summoned…
Something that the Z-Senshi did to keep alert for news of the upcoming Event was to watch the news. Shortly after dinner they would all sit down and flip on the TV to see if anything was going in the world. For almost six months now, whether at the Son household, Capsule Corporation, the Satan compound, or Kame House, the various Z-Senshi and their families enjoyed a brief moment of quality time. This would end rather abruptly two weeks before Goku and Vegeta were supposed to be wished back.
It was a Wednesday night. Krillan and his family had just finished dinner and were settling to watch a little bit of the news before switching off to something more exciting. Sitting on the floor in front of him was his little daughter Marron and on a chair to his left, his wife Juuhachi-gou reclined comfortably after a hard day of training. Receiving a tired smile from his wife as acknowledgement, he turned on the news. Leaning back he listened half-heartedly and mainly kept his attention on his daughter in front of him.
Juuhachi-gou, on the other hand, was able to multi-task remarkably well. While resting she kept a part of her mind listening to the TV. She heard every word that was said by the reporter.
"Good afternoon and welcome to NTV Headline News. Tonight, we are presenting a special on a revolutionary discovery made near the site of the Cell Games. With me today is Dr. Fujiwara, head of the research division at Klemsfeld Motors. Dr. Fujiwara could you tell me a little about how you found this remarkable piece of technology?"
"Well, I had always known that the Cell was a man made creation. I was just sure that he was using some type of power device and I spent some time exploring the ruins at the Cell games. It now seems that my hypothesis was correct, because my findings have yielded up some incredible technology. It will allow us to create True Artificial Intelligence and power sources that are hundreds of years beyond our current level," answered Dr. Fujiwara. He was beaming with pride at his discovery. This was his chance, he thought. He was on Live TV and his face would be shown everywhere. He just knew that he was going to be rich and famous now.
"Where is this remarkable find now and exactly what is it? Do you have some footage to show us Dr. Fujiwara?" asked the reporter.
"Yes, yes. Of course I do. The discovery is currently held at the Laboratories at Klemsfeld Motors. Here, let me show you some of the exhibits I have," answered an eager Dr. Fujiwara.
The TV screen split in half and a mechanical object was brought into view. None of the Z-Senshi that watched the show that day would ever forget that moment. It was one that would forever be etched in their memories as one of the most appalling things that they'd ever witnessed.
As for Eighteen, she sat shell-shocked at the image before her. She never did register Dr. Fujiwara telling the world that it seemed like some type of mechanical head and before Krillan could stop her, she had flown straight through the roof with a scream of pure and utter rage.
Shocked at his wife's behavior, Krillan glanced at the TV. He knew that image that was being shown. How could he not? He himself had witnessed that head being torn from the body that it belonged to. He had been at the Cell games after all. So how could he not recognize the head of Sixteen?
***
The Z-Senshi would not be the only ones unable to forget that day. The employees at Klemsfeld Motors also would bear mental scars that day.
Not more than fifteen minutes had passed since Eighteen had blasted out of Kame House when Klemsfeld Motors in Satan City was under attack by an unknown, at least unknown to them, assailant. Luckily for the citizens of Satan City, Klemsfeld was at the edge of town and it was after 8pm so that almost everyone was already safe in their homes. For the unlucky security brigade that had been specially hired to protect the "discovery" it was a nightmare.
Eighteen had covered a thousand miles in a mere fifteen minutes. She came screaming out of the sky as if she were a meteorite, or perhaps, an avenging angel. She crashed through four floors of the main building at Klemsfeld HQ before coming to a stop. She quickly sat at the nearest computer terminal. Bringing up a plan of the building she located the room where the head of Juuroku-gou was kept. For any ordinary thief it would have been a nightmare. Hundreds of security bots, backed by twenty humans armed to the teeth. Klemsfeld had even hired a Ki capable warrior to boost security. The building, coincidently named Building No. 20, was a fortress. Four titanium doors capable of stopping missile impacts lay between the thief and its target. Unfortunately for Klemsfeld they weren't dealing with an ordinary thief or even a thief at all. They were dealing with Android Number Eighteen.
Before they could even react, twenty security bots were blown to bits as Eighteen ran across to the other building. Inside, the head of security watched in shock as he saw this beautiful woman cut through another ten bots in less than two seconds. He grinned when she attempted to punch the door open and accomplished nothing. That door was unbreakable he thought. As he watched, that grin was soon replaced with a look of sheer terror.
Eighteen looked at the door that had just absorbed her punch. She glanced at the code control panel, but dismissed it. It would take her at least two minutes to break the heavily encrypted code. She simply brought her leg back and unleashed a kick at the door once, twice, three times. After the third kick the door was already off its hinges. Eighteen leaned forward and ripped the two ton steel door off its hinges and tossed it as if it didn't weigh more than a child. It had taken her twelve seconds exactly to kick the door in.
Without hesitation she ran inside and up the stairs towards the security room. By now, the head of security was pissing in his pants. Literally. He jumped up and quickly bolted the reinforced door to the room. Three seconds later that door was ripped open and the femme fatale strode into the room.
"Tell your people to get out. If I see them, they die." With that said, she turned and walked out.
He immediately ordered the evacuation. After all he was no fool, he had just seen the impossible and knew only one man could help, well perhaps two. He picked up the phone and called the police station to contact the world hero, Mr. Satan or if he couldn't be reached Saiyaman.
Meanwhile, Eighteen continued her rampage towards the center of the facility where Juuroku-gou's head was kept. She destroyed the other two doors and anything that moved on her way to the center room. In the final hallway the Ki wielding warrior finally confronted her.
"You have exactly three seconds to get out of my way before I send you to the afterlife," hissed Eighteen. She had no idea she sounded exactly like Vegeta at the moment. She also noticed after a second that her opponent wasn't quite human.
"You're pretty powerful," complimented the warrior.
"One," counted Eighteen.
"Regardless, I was once an elite soldier of Freeza and…"
"Two."
"There is no way a pretty girl like.."
"Three."
"… you could defeat…" Before he could even finish the sentence, Eighteen raised her hand, formed a Ki sphere and blew him into the afterlife. Promise made, promise kept.
The resulting blast had also blown the door also, and she rushed in. She saw the head and grabbed it. Holding it for a second, she fought back the tears and ran as quickly as she could outside. However, before she could leap into the sky and head for home a voice stopped her dead in her tracks.
"STOP!! Where do you think you are going with my property?!?!" shouted Aaron Klemsfeld, owner and CEO of Klemsfeld Motors.
"Your property?" she hissed. Something was happening to her and she began to lose control. Dropping Juuroku-gou's remains she summoned a massive Ki sphere and fired it into the Klemsfeld HQ complex annihilating the building. Within a minute every building of Klemsfeld Motors had been demolished utterly.
"That WAS your property, now it's your turn."
Amazingly, it had taken Klemsfeld that long to realize the predicament he was in. He turned to run, but it was to late. Eighteen had already released the Ki ball.
A second before the ki sphere sent Klemsfeld to hell, another ki blast, this one colored gold intercepted it and drove it into the sky. The resulting explosion rocked Satan City and still sent Klemsfeld into blissful unconsciousness.
"Juuhachi-gou," screamed Gohan, "What do you THINK you are doing?"
Hearing Gohan's familiar voice, Eighteen seemingly came out of the rage that had possessed her. She began shaking violently, and before she could even utter a word she began convulsing. Gohan caught her as she collapsed into unconsciousness.
Shimatta, thought Gohan. I better take her to Capsule Corporation as fast as possible. Bulma will know what to do. Taking the safety of Krillan's wife as a priority, Saiyaman blasted off towards Capsule Corporation, leaving a devastated Klemsfeld Motors, and the head of Juuroku-gou behind.
