Ugh.....I feel really sick and I've got nothing better to do. So, on with the next chapter!

~When these surround text, it's a thought~

Rae's eyes fluttered. She sank in and out of consciousness. After what seemed like an hour, she was finally able to keep her eyes open. Groaning loudly, she slowly sat up, trying to remember what had happened. Rae winced as her head began to throb. ~Let's see..I was....running..~ Rae closed her eyes, remembering the terror she had felt when that man was behind her. ~But...no, he wasn't a man....He wasn't even human.....That is, if he's like his friend..~ Rae shuddered, remembering the pale man's head lying on the ground. Shaking her head, Rae gave a cry of pain, clapping her hand to the back of her head. Rae gave a sharp gasp. Pulling her hand away, she looked at it. It was smeared with blood. Touching the lump on the back of her head again, Rae winced as the warm sticky feeling of blood seeped through her hair. She remembered quiet clearly what happened now.... She had been running, and the man. He.had done something. She didn't know what, but it sent her flying high into the air. She had been thrown hard in one direction and was gaining speed. She was flying backwards. She saw the strange green man throw his hands out in front of him. She didn't know what he did, but she began to slow. The last thing she remembered was hitting the wall with a sickening crack. Standing slowly, Rae wobbled a bit. Turning around, she realized how lucky she had been. She had managed to hit..a door...

Gazing up at the gigantic steel door, Rae saw that if she had been a few inches higher, she would have missed the small platform that was jutting out. Looking at the door more closely, Rae saw a trail of red starting at the top of the door and trailing downward. "Damn.." She whispered softly. That was her blood. She must have hit extremely hard and slid all the way down. ~Well, there's no way to get down now. Maybe..I can just open that door, someone inside could help me.. ~ Pivoting to the left, Rae saw a tiny panel with numbers on it. "Oh goddamn it.." She swore. "I suppose I'll just have to guess random numbers..." Rae cautiously approached the panel, not wanting the platform to crumble beneath her. Rae lifted one hand. "Buttons, buttons..." She said with a tint of humor in her voice. "Well....." She said softly, her delicate features creasing with worry. "What if this is like one of those movies? You punch in the wrong number and BAM!!! The spikes come up and kill you..." She shook her head roughly, earning her a sharp bolt of pain. ~Snap out of it! You'll be fine. Just put a number in and be done with it! ~ Rae took a breath. "Well.how about I put in my age?" Quickly, she typed in the number sixteen. A soft tone came out of the panel. Rae eagerly turned to the door. It remained as cold and stoic as ever. "Damn..that would have been too easy..." Sighing, Rae looked back at the number panel. "In two days I'll be seventeen... Will that work also?" Punching in the number, once again, she was rewarded by the soft musical notes. "What if...." Rae typed in the number eighteen. The soft musical notes flowed out.

Rae smiled. "This IS too easy..." After putting in nineteen and twenty, the door gave a loud groan and slowly swung open. Rae's grin of triumph slowly faded away as she glanced in the dark forbidding passage. Quietly, she slipped inside. The door slammed shut, causing her to lose her balance as the room shook. Letting out a mild curse, she quickly regained her footing. Everything she looked at caused her to shiver. The rooms were dark and dank. It looked like where some mad man preformed horrible experiments on the poor, helpless souls that were trapped there. Rae continued to wander around; not calling out for fear that the deranged person who lived here would find her... ~Oh, why did I have to open that stupid door in the first place? Now I can't get back out! ~ Rae was too busy thinking to look where she was going. Running into something hard, she shook her head, winced, and looked at what she had run into. It looked like it was....a large...container of some sort that was filled with some kind of liquid.There was also....a human BODY in there! Letting out a muffled shriek, Rae backed up slowly. When she bumped into something else, she spun her heart pounding. There was ANOTHER one! Trying not to flip out completely, Rae sat down against one of the containers. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths. Standing up, she found some papers on the floor nearby. They looked to be something like a journal entry...Grabbing them, she slowly read.

Status on Androids 17 and 18

The Androids that I have worked my entire life on have become too powerful to handle without dire consequences. Unless Goku is able to surpass 19 and my powers, they will be given a fatal injection, therefore destroying the threat that they could ever do something rash. So I hoped that my perfect fighting machines would be able to be released..I fear that they would turn on me if I were to set them free. Though if it comes to me having to release them, they'd surely show some gratitude towards me, seeing as I am their master. The injection will be given on May 12th. Next time I shall be more successful in creating the perfect fighter.

Rae stared at the paper, her mind slowly realizing what it meant. She glanced at the floating body in the container she was leaning against. The body was a female with blonde hair. She was wearing a skirt with a vest on top of a striped shirt. ~Perfect fighter? Like the ones I saw earlier? ~ Her mind drifted back to the blond haired man. Looking in the other container, she saw a male with black hair. He too was wearing a black vest with a white shirt underneath. He had an orange bandana on along with a pair of green socks. Rae scanned the paper again, registering the "fatal injection" part. ~It's not fair..they shouldn't be destroyed because they're powerful. And....if they're androids.. ~ Rae's eyes widened with realization. ~That man! The one who was chasing me.He was an android too! Is it possible that he created them? ~ Rae narrowed her eyes. "If that's the case, then I might as well set these two free....That stupid bastard deserves to be killed!" Her pretty face set with determination, Rae strode to the front of the girl's container. The controls were basically made for a two-year-old. Pressing the green button, she walked over to the guy's container and did the same. With a high-pitched bleeping noise, the fluid inside began to drain away. ~Uh-oh...Hey stupid! What if they decide to "have fun" with you? ~ Rae's eyes widened at this sudden thought. "Aw shit!" She said and began to run. As she fled down the corridor, the sound of breaking glass was evident. Rae panicked and jumped behind one of the tall pillars. She heard a female voice conversing, followed by a reply from the male. Then the footsteps started. And they were coming right toward her.
