AUTHOR NOTES: Hello, Moonraker One here. I usually hate to give author notes, but I have to say, I've read Shadow-Walker's "Vows of a Saiyan", and it is excellent. If you can read it please do.
CHAPTER FOUR - An Undesired Upgrade
At Capsule Corporation, everyone was eating at Bulma's dinner table, except for Piccolo, who never ate, and eighteen, who was an android. Vegeta, scarfing down his food, looked as though he had something on his mind, and it was bugging him. Everyone could see this, but no one understood what it would be. Goku decided that he was going to break the ice and speak up first.
"Vegeta?" He asked. "Are you okay? Is something bothering you?"
He put down his fork and looked up at the Saiyan. "Hmm?" He said. "Nothing, it's just that the power that was shown by android eighteen earlier today was something else."
Goku smiled a half-smile. "Yup. You can say that again. Good thing too."
Vegeta wasn't done. "Kakarot," he continued, "I saw that while she was fighting, the power that she was wielding wasn't a tenth of the power that she could've been using. I've seen enough fights in my life to know that she wasn't even trying at all when she destroyed Buu."
This is when Bulma interjected. "So, Vegeta," she said. "What do you propose to do?"
Vegeta smirked at her demeaning tone. "I don't want you to do anything, woman," he said. "I want to see how strong she really is."
He turned to the android in question, sitting on the couch in the living room.
"I want to see how much she can take in the gravity chamber."
Eighteen looked up at the congregation at the dinner table, and at the Saiyan who mentioned her name.
"So, you want to see my full power. I didn't think that you were that brave," she said, smiling a somewhat foreboding smile.
Nonetheless, Vegeta and android eighteen stepped into the gravity chamber after dinner. Vegeta charged up to Super Saiyan two, and started the gravity chamber at what he usually started at: three hundred times normal gravity. Neither him nor her even flinched. The strange thing was, she was less affected than him.
"Are you impressed yet, Vegeta?" She asked.
He smirked. "Don't be so full of it, android. Let's see how you last in five hundred times gravity."
He pumped it up to five hundred times. The machine was just three hundred away from its absolute upper limit. He was sweating profusely from the gravity of the room, and she was still unaffected. He went to a previously unreachable level: Super Saiyan Three. He then charged up the machine to nine hundred times: a hundred more than the machine could take for long. He was doing this out of sheer spite.
"Are you even mortal?!" He shrieked, noting that she was standing only slightly affected.
He lunged at her, she jabbed him in the gut, and grabbed him. She pulled him an inch from her face, and spoke.
"I think this one is over, Vegeta," she said. "I am clearly more than you could ever handle."
She walked over and shut off the machine, and exited. He did the same, clutching his gut in pain. Goku walked over to ask him how it went.
"Kakarot," Vegeta said, a hint of seriousness in his voice. "She's got more power than anyone who's ever faced us. I doubt Super Saiyan Four Brolly would be able to defeat her."
That made Goku's eyes widen at the prospect of that. He and Vegeta went outside to get in some training of their own, and the others went about their normal ways. As Krillin and Super Android eighteen went home, Krillin noticed something weird: he noticed that when he looked in his wife's eyes, he felt that there was another life inside of her. Could the chip that she had in her really exert that much control over her?
The answer came later. Much later, when they had both gotten to bed, he was still wide awake, but was so close to sleep that eighteen couldn't tell if he was or not, so she fell asleep. Once she dozed off, he looked over at her; she was really zonked out, and he'd never seen her this tired. He wondered why she was so quick to drop off. So he ignored it and fell asleep himself. He too, was sleepy, but not as much so as her.
He didn't know why-maybe it was fate-but he was hit with insomnia somewhere around three a.m. He reached over, and felt nothing except bedspread. he opened his eyes, and eighteen was long gone. But, there was no sign of her leaving. Nothing was disturbed as though she had gotten up, so he wondered where she was. Being the curious soul he was, he decided to don his clothes and take off flying, hopefully to find her. He'd searched the closet, and her outfit was gone, signaling that maybe she had left.
A half hour of flight, and he felt something nearby, near the forest where he could feel the ki of Piccolo. Piccolo's ki was a bit disturbed, as it was when he usually fought with everything that he had. This could only mean that he was fighting someone quite powerful.
Eighteen! He saw her! He also saw something that he didn't want to see. He saw Goku on the ground, beaten up badly, more than likely within an inch of his life, Vegeta in the same condition, with Super Android eighteen standing. He saw a look of evil in her eyes that he'd never seen before, not even when she was still evil.
Maybe he was crazy, but he flew down.
"Eighteen!" He screamed. "What in the hell are you doing?!"
She turned to him, her eyes glowing like they did when her vision was set to "image enhance," for her to see in the dark. She had a very evil smile on her face.
"So, human," she said. "you want to get in on the action?"
He lowered his eyebrows, Clint Eastwood style. "Who the hell are you?! Where is my wife?!"
She smiled, wickedly. "Human, you don't know what it is like being a single chip locked away in a massive mainframe. I remember. I've got not only a mobile body now, I've got a really strong one, that I've enhanced for maximum efficiency and power. I'm gonna have some fun."
He mustered the courage to run up and grab her, and shake some sense into her. "Eighteen!" He pleaded. "I know that you are in there! Come back to me!"
Just then, her expression changed to confusion. "K...krillin?" She said, looking around. "Where am I? Why is my vision mode set to image enhance?"
She looked down. "Oh..my..god!" She shrieked. "Did I hurt them?!"
Krillin and eighteen helped the injured to Korin's, where they were given Senzu. As they relaxed, after getting the bejesus knocked out of them, they looked at their confused assailant; there was going to have to be some work done.
