Enjoy."

Chapter 25:The Transformation
In the middle of the city that was now famous as the place where the Androids were defeated,an enormous bolt of lightning streaked down from the sky.It connected with something metallic on the ground.When the lightning was gone,the object started to shake.Several more objects floated from the ground and attached themselves to it.With a flash of light,a black haired teenager stood where the part once was.His hair came down to his shoulders,touching the orange bandanna that was tied around his neck.His clothes had a red ribbon with two white 'R's on them,the symbol for the Red Ribbon Army.
He looked down at himself and smirked in satisfaction,"That lightning must have repaired me.And it seems I got a power boost from it too.Let's see....Can I use any of these abilities to bring Eighteen back together?"
His pale blue eyes scanned the ground,eventually falling on a small piece of metal.There were a few wires sticking out of it,which told him what it was.He walked over to the small object and picked it up.Artificial energy started to fill his hand,surrounding the object.After a short time,he tossed it back to the ground and waited.
'Once she's back,we'll go hunting for that brat.If he isn't near,we'll hunt down anyone close to him and torture them until he shows up,'Android Seventeen thought,'He's going to pay severely for what he did to me!'

Ray's sword cut through another one of the Android guards.The Android fell to the ground in two pieces,sparks flying everywhere.A few yards away,Zapland's energy shot out and ripped one of the guards a part.There was a loud siren going off,which signaled every guard in the city that there were intruders.
"This is endless!!Where are they all coming from!?"Zapland exclaimed as he cut through another one.
"Everything has to have an ending,even the supply of these things!"Ray's sword slashed another guard,"Though I wish the end of these would come a little sooner than other things!!"
The people of the city had immediately started running out of the gates when they opened.Ray had to keep on eye on the crowd of people and one eye on the guards,just in case the girl he was looking for managed to slip by him.
-----
Trunks landed on the ground,still in Super Saiyan.The storm had passed after hovering over the city for a few hours.His ears started to ring for no reason,perhaps because it was so quiet.All of his senses were focused on feeling any sort of presence,human or not.If an Android so much as breathed,he would hear or feel it.
"So far,nothing....Maybe my mind was playing tricks on me,"he said quietly.
Something caught his eye to his right.There had been a brief flash of light on the other side of a pile of rubble.He backed up against the rubble and looked toward the ground.When he found a fragment of a mirror,he picked it up and held it to the side of the rubble to reflect whatever was on the other side.
"What happened,Seventeen?Why are we back?"a female voice asked.
"It seems nature had plans for us besides death.There was a storm that hit one of my parts,and now I have more strength and abilities than before,"a male voice replied.
The mirror wasn't reflecting anything,possibly because whatever was on the other side was closer than Trunks realized.But he recognized the voices.How could he ever forget them?The same voices that haunted him all those sleepless nights....
"Androids...."he growled,quietly so the two couldn't hear him.
"So,what about it,Eighteen?Wanna go kill some more filthy humans?"Seventeen asked.
"...........No,"his blonde sister answered.
"WHAT!?"
"You heard me,Seventeen!!You know what happened last time we saw that kid!We were no match for him yesterday,and we still aren't!!"
"Hmph.Fine,then I guess that makes you my enemy."
Trunks heard Eighteen cry out in pain.His eyes widened when she burst through the remains of a wall that he had leaned against.Seventeen followed only seconds later and waited for his sister to get to her feet.Once she did,Seventeen kicked her through another pile of debris.
Trunks clenched his fist out of anger,'What can I do?Eighteen's my enemy....But she doesn't want to kill anymore! That's IT!'
His aura exploded in a golden light as he grabbed his sword.Without hesitation,the young Saiyan flew toward Seventeen and brought his sword down into the Android's back.But the blade was stopped by two fingers.Seventeen had somehow spun around to grab it.
"Well,well,well.Look he decided to die with you,Eighteen.It's the little boy that thought he could kill us,"Seventeen said,"I'm going to make you wish you never got the idea that you could beat me!"
The Android's foot connected with Trunks's side,causing him to let go of his sword and slide across the ground.Seventeen held the sword in one hand and looked at it.
"This thing's supposed to be sharp,isn't it?We'll have to test how sharp it is when it cuts through you!!"he shouted and flew forward.
Trunks rolled away just in time to avoid the steel.The blade pierced the ground,becoming stuck.Seventeen pulled it out,but the slight delay allowed Trunks to charge his energy.A large blast shot out of his palm,sending the Android through a fallen building.
Trunks turned to Eighteen with a frown,"Are you....okay?"
The Android pushed herself off the ground and brushed the dirt off her clothes,"I think so.But you...saved me.I don't know what to say."
"Then say goodbye!!"
Two boots collided with the side of Trunks's head.He fell to the ground once more,but refused to give up.Slowly,the only living Saiyan known pushed himself to his feet.
-----
More guards turned the corner of the street,walking slowly toward the group of fighters.One by one,the guards fell to the ground in a flurry of sparks.
"This is ridiculous!"Vivi exclaimed,"Is there any end?"
'They're trying to stop me from finding her....That's it!'Ray thought,"Anything that gets in my way is going to have two feet of steel shoved down its throat!!"
An orange aura surrounded him as a soft wind began to blow.His hair lifted into spikes,slowly changing color.With a shout of rage,it became orange and his aura lashed out at everything.All of the guards were ripped a part,but no harm came to his friends.
"Amazing...."Alia trailed off,"He's a...Super Tororin!"
