(Last time on The Zone Saga Vegeta took on Zone in a viscious battle. It was a hard fought war and it seemed that Vegeta was equally matched with the witch android. #18, upon arriving, showed no more fear at the evil sister of Cell and wanted to take her on and put an end to Gero's disturbing creations. However, by jumping into the fight, #18 has put herself at risk. Will #18 be successful and defeat Zone or will she fall victim to her, just like Bulma and Chi-Chi?)

DBZ:The Zone Saga

Ch.15 Complete At Last



#18 stood her ground against the dark android before her, with the same look of disdain and rage she had for her sick brother and even more demented creator. Zone just licked her lips in anticipation of reaching her first goal. *Yes, now I will finally become complete, and then I shall resurrect my brother and Dr.Gero, and then we shall deal with these pathetic fools and their worthless planet.* Vegeta was extremely pissed at the blond cyborgs intrusion.Vegeta:"Robotic Bitch! How dare you interefere? I knew I should have finished you of when I had the chance!" #18 just sneered at him. #18: "Shut up Vegeta! Your big ego will screw us all like it has done in the past. Your arrogence is worse than my own brothers! Besides, by killing Zone, Cell's sister, I will have at least some measure of revenge!"

Vegeta was boiling with rage at this point. Zone just chuckeled. Zone:"Yes, my dear #18, Vegeta always was a hard headed bastard, but his ego has been just the key I needed in order to obtained Chi- Chi and......Bulma." She grinned evily at the look on the Sayian Prince's face when she reminded him of what she did to his precious mate. Vegeta powered up immensley, angry at both androids before him. Vegeta:"Maybe I should kill two birds with one stone and destroy you both!" Vegeta flew at Zone and once again hooked it up. Then #18 joined the battle and it erupted into a three way war.

#17, along with the others, approached the scene.Yamcha:"Damn! All three are going at it!"

#17:"Vegeta probably started it. As he always does. Now, my sister is at an even greater risk of being absorbed by that freak sister of Cell." Trunks:"Isn't there anything we could do to get

#18 out of here?" #17:"We're gonna have to try Trunks because my sister can get very bitchy when provoked so it will be difficult." Tien:"Hey! There's Goku, Gohan, and Krillan! We will need their help.I'll go get them." Yamacha and #17 nodded as they watched the war continue.



The three way clash was brutal. Vegeta had blasted #18 to the ground and resumed his fight with Zone. Zone nailed him with her tail and tried one of Vegeta's moves that he himself hasn't used since his first fight with Goku: the Callic Gun. Zone:"HEY MONKEY PRINCE! TRY AND BLOCK THIS! GALLIC GUN FIRE!!!!!" Zone shot the blast directley at Vegeta, as he prepared a defense. Vegeta:"Bring it on bi.... What?! No!" To his horror, the blast was growing bigger as it approached, so big that even he could not block it.

Out of no where, #18 appeared and knocked the blast away from Vegeta. Vegeta turned from shocked to anger at #18. Vegeta:"Fool! Why did you do that? I could have easily blocked that blast." #18, still pissed, turned to Vegeta. #18:"Don't lie, Vegeta! You knew very well you couldn't have defended against that blast. It would have kill..... augh!!!!" #18 received a fist in her face by an enraged prince. Vegeta:"I NEVER ASKED FOR YOUR HELP TIN CAN! I HAVE BECOME FAR SUPERIOR TO YOU SINCE WE LAST MET! AND I DAMN WELL KNOW IM FAR ABOVE ZONE AND THAT IDIOTIC 3RD CLASS UP THERE! MAYBE I SHOULD JUST GIVE YOU TO ZONE AND SEE HOW POWERFUL SHE IS AT FULL STRENGTH!"

Krillan looked in horror at Vegeta's verbal and physical treatment of his wife. Krillan:"Vegeta! Stop this right now! What the hell are you doing?!" Vegeta grunted. Vegeta:"Shut up, baldy! I didn't injure your precious robot to badly! Now, shut your trap and let me finish Zone!" With that, Vegeta flew once again at Zone, going all out. Krillan:"Goku! We need to get #18 out of here! Vegeta's ego is at an all time high! He'll get us killed!" Gohan nodded in agreement. Gohan:"Yeah, dad! Vegeta is too blinded by his power to realize just how grave this situation is!" Goku:"I know you guys, Vegeta is being stubborn,because of his immense sayian pride. However, he isn't stupid either and I know he would never let Zone live after what happened to Bulma. I do agree, that we need to get #18 out of here, fast. Hey, there's Tien." Tien flew up to join the three. Tien:"Goku, we need a plan.I think it would be best if we work as a team." Goku:"Yes, I think that would be the best course of action right now. Krillan, go get #18 and take her away from here. We'll handle Zone." Krillen nodded and flew down towards his wife.

Zone was growing tired of this little fight with the monkey prince. *I must finish Vegeta off and distract the others in order to get #18.* Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the monk attempting to get his wife out of here. *I don't think so baldy! I must become complete.Hmm.. I know.*



Krillan landed where #18 had crashed from Vegeta's punch. Apparently she was still dazed from the harsh blow. Krillan:"You alright, honey?" She shook her head to clear out her thoughts. #18:"I'm good, Krillan. I've had worse." Krillan started to help #18 up when they noticed Zone flying high above the sky. Krillan:"What is she... Oh No!!!!" Krillan knew exactly what Zone was about to do. Its the same move that allowed Cell to absorb her. *Solar Flare* Krillan:"We gotta get out of here!!" #18:"What?" Krillan started to drag #18 away from what was about to happen when a energy hit the ground before them. They inadverntenley looked up at Zone. She smirked in satisfaction. Zone:"YOU'RE MINE, #18! SOLAR FLARE!!!" The sky suddenly lit up with a bright light causing everyone to close there eyes. Zone landed before #18 and Krillan. Zone laughed.*All too easy.* Krillan had to stop her, despite being blinded for the moment. Krillen:"I will not allow this again!" He fought as best as he could but was knocked down by Zone. #18:"No! Krillan!" She lunged at Zone, realizing how the events of her absorbtion seemingly replayed. Zone smiled, then engulfed #18 with her tail. #17, being the first to recover, witnessed the scene, horrified. #17:"NO! #18!!!!!"

#17 flew at Zone but was overpowered. Zone quickly sucked up #18 and started her final transformation. Goku and the others looked in terror. Goku:"No!!!!!"
