A/N: I finally got my other story started, woot! You people don't seem to
read the author's notes very well. I specifically said that Trunks' birth
was prevented OR delayed; I never specified which. I got at least four
reviews with people complaining that I 'killed off' Trunks, and a couple
"threats" from people who sent me instant messages.
goinu- I know that. I've been changing some things to better suit the ideas behind this story, like Gohan catching the heart virus instead of Goku, but I'm not that great at coming up with new ideas. This story was meant to be pretty much the same as the series, just with Gohan acting more saiyan-like than he actually did and changing things as necessary.
Mystic The Destroyer- I was pretty aware that Gohan does jack diddily squat in GT. I'm considering trying to come up with some new enemies instead, or just using the enemies from GT.
BlackFireDragonK- I will.
ESSJGohan- Goten? Not yet, but he will be born later on.
The Vampire Story Hunter- Yeah, that is a good idea. I've read five Harry Potter books and several DBZ/HP crossovers; I think that that counts as enough knowledge.
Luna's Meow- I'm toying around with the idea of getting Gohan into Yu-Gi-Oh and am pretty sure that I've found a way; it just won't get put in until the later chapters of the story.
Disclaimer: My rights to DBZ were just blasted into the next dimension. Damn you Vegeta *runs away from ki blasts*

Don't argue with a fool, he may be doing the same thing.
Chapter 12
"Bring it on tin can!" Vegeta yelled. "I can take you anytime, anywhere."
"No, f...Vegeta, you can't do this! Their too strong for you, they'll crush you. We have to work as a team," Mirai Trunks instructed.
"I will not take instructions from a purple haired gaki." Vegeta turned his attention to the androids while powering up to super saiyan. "Come on and fight me. Unless you're too scared."
"Seventeen, can you just kill him already. Shortie over is really starting to get on my nerves," Eighteen complained. Eighteen's gaze was wandering over some of the inventions lying around in the lab. "Why couldn't that old man have anything more interesting?"
"He was a goofball, Eighteen. Now then, we were programmed to take out Goku. Seeing as he is right there, our fight shall be with him only," Seventeen stated.
"WHAT? I am not going to let some third class baka get all the fun in destroying you tin cans."
"Ah, sheket Vegeta," Gohan said. (Ah, be quiet)
"Come on Goku. Let's take this elsewhere so that I can destroy you," Seventeen said, interrupting Vegeta's rants. Vegeta grumbled and, realizing he wouldn't get a fight, powered down.
"Why do you want to fight me?" Goku asked.
"Because Dr. Gero programmed us to kill you." Eighteen replied.
"So? Dr. Gero is dead. Why bother following his orders?"
"Simply because there's nothing better to do. Now let's go somewhere more suitable for fighting or I'll just take you down here and now," Seventeen said.
Without waiting for a reply, Seventeen and Eighteen walked out of Dr. Gero's lab and flew off. Everyone slowly took off, except Trunks, who sent a huge blast of energy at the lab, blowing it up. Goku and Yamcha looked confused while everyone else just ignored it.
They flew for about five minutes before the androids landed in a suitable fighting spot just like all other spots for fights, in an area barren of life and filled with mountains and rocky hills.
"This ought to do nicely, now prepare yourself Goku, for today you die," stated Seventeen. "And all of you are to stay out of this fight. If anyone tries to interfere, Eighteen will kill you all."
Goku quickly powered up to super saiyan and charged Seventeen. Goku threw a punch at Seventeen's head that the android dodged. Goku then threw several kicks, all of which were avoided. Goku tried to slam his hands together on the android's body, but was stopped when Seventeen grabbed his wrists. Seventeen pulled Goku towards him and drove his knee into Goku's stomach. Seventeen then released Goku's hands and punched him in the face, sending Goku flying into, and through, several of the nearby mountains.
"GOKU!" Yamcha cried.
Goku got back up and pulled his arms to his sides. He spread his legs apart and began shouting, raising his power level to his maximum. He rushed back into battle with a kick at the android's stomach. Seventeen was about to dodge it when he was frozen in place. Goku's kick hit hard and sent Seventeen into a nearby cliff. He paused, wondering why Seventeen hadn't attempted to dodge. He looked at the group and saw Choutzu with a fierce look of concentration.
"Choutzu! Release him," Goku yelled. "This won't be a fair fight if he's not able to fight back."
"This isn't about fair fights, Goku. This is about a life or death situation. You'd rather die then win because your opponent was paralyzed." Goku nodded his head and Choutzu reluctantly released Android Seventeen.
"Well I'll be. Kakarott does have some saiyan pride in him. I could have sworn you baka ningens had wiped away any trace of his true self," Vegeta laughed.
Seventeen climbed back out of the wall and shook himself off. He then rushed back at Goku faster that he could see and pummeled him with a flurry of punches. Goku tried his best to block the attacks, but was too slow. Goku fell to the ground and out of super saiyan.
Seventeen spared a glance at the rest of the group, and saw Trunks twitching about to jump into the fight. Seventeen shrugged at looked back down at Goku, who was pulling himself out of the hole.
Goku flew up at Seventeen as fast as he could, but was met halfway with a punch to his chin. As he was falling back down to the ground, Seventeen threw down several ki blasts at him, all of them hitting.
Goku recovered quickly and charged back at Android Seventeen again, only to be hit with a roundhouse kick to his head and the elbowed in the top of his head. Goku fell down to the ground once again, and once again got back up.
"KAIO KEN TIMES THIRTY!" Goku bellowed.
A fierce red aura surrounded Goku and he charged at Seventeen again with a punch. The punch hit Seventeen and he gasped, more out of shock than pain. Goku took advantage of Seventeen's distraction to rain blows down on Android Seventeen. Goku rammed his leg into Seventeen's gut and then threw his elbow down on Seventeen's head, sending him down to the ground.
"Ka...me...ha...me...HA!"
The stream of light blue energy flew at the downed android. Seventeen looked up just in time to see the energy wave come straight at him. The beam collided with him and caused a massive explosion, kicking up rocks and dust. Gohan and Vegeta snickered as a couple rocks hit Yamcha, who was standing to close to the edge of the cliff.
Seventeen got back up again with very little damage done to him. He used his thumb to wipe the stream of blood off that was coming out of the corner of his mouth. He looked at it in disgust before wiping it away on his other fingers.
Android Seventeen charged once again back at Goku faster than Goku could follow and assaulted him with hundreds of punches and kicks, all but about four hitting Goku somewhere. Goku was sent flying into the distance, several miles from the battle. Goku slumped down to the ground, and made a crater a couple inches deep.
Trunks couldn't stand it anymore and charged at Seventeen. He removed his sword from his back and transformed into super saiyan at the same time. Vegeta gasped in shock at seeing another super saiyan, but had a teensy bit of pride as he remembered that that was, sort of, his son down there.
Trunks kicked Seventeen in the head sending the android flying away and into a nearby crater. All the fighters on the cliff took that as their cue to step into the fight, except Gohan, who wanted to fight solitarily.
Vegeta went over to help Trunks with Android Seventeen while Choutzu, Tien, Yamcha, and Piccolo all headed for Android Eighteen. Gohan just looked at them then flew down to find his father.
Flaring into super saiyan, Vegeta went down and landed knee first in Seventeen's stomach. He then kicked the android in the back of the head, sending him towards Trunks. Trunks launched a quick ki blast at the android, damaging it but not altering its course. Trunks swung his sword down at the android's head, only to have the blade of his sword snap in half. Trunks discarded the sword and kicked Seventeen instead.
The other four were having the same good luck as their partner, thanks mainly to Choutzu using his mental powers to hold Eighteen in place while the others beat up on her. It was lucky for Eighteen, however, that their attacks were doing very minimal damage to her.
Unfortunately, their luck was about to run out as it took a lot of power for Choutzu to hold the female android in place. After about five minutes, the strain became too much for the small emperor and he lost his hold on the android.
Eighteen wasted little time in dealing with the fighters, a quick punch or two each being more than enough to take all of them down. She saw how badly Vegeta and Trunks were beating her brother and went to help him.
Vegeta and Trunks were continuing their barrage of attacks against the android. Whenever Seventeen would recover enough to try and fight back, the two would attack him at the same time. Android Seventeen was now on a crash course with Vegeta, who had pulled back a fist to punch the android when he was close enough. Just before he could punch Seventeen, he was tripped from behind by his sister. Vegeta fell face first into the dust, while Seventeen flew back awhile before recovering.
Eighteen grabbed Vegeta's arm and twisted it behind his back while landing on the other one with her knee. She used her other arm to grab Vegeta by the hair and ram his head into the ground repeatedly. Vegeta tried to kick her off, but his legs couldn't quite reach her.
Seventeen flew straight at Trunks.
"You're going to pay for that, brat. I'm going to make this slow and painful for you."
Trunks flew at Seventeen, remembering that he could take the androids one on one in his time, but they never did that. Trunks threw a punch at Seventeen. Seventeen ducked under the punch and rammed Trunks in the stomach, using his momentum to carry Trunks into the closest cliff with his fist still in Trunks's gut. The android then threw a punch into Trunks's face. Trunks launched his knee into the androids stomach sending him away.
Taking a brief glance at the other fight, and seeing his father's predicament, Trunks threw a ki blast at Eighteen strong enough to knock her off of Vegeta.
The blast sent Eighteen into the ground several feet away. Vegeta pulled himself to his feet, swaying slightly before recovering his balance. He grinned at Android Eighteen before launching at her. He threw flurries of punches at her, all of which were avoided. Vegeta was getting rather pissed off at this and as a result, his punches were getting less coordinated. Eighteen grabbed one of Vegeta's arms and swung him around a couple times before throwing him at the closest rock formation.
Seventeen, seeing Trunks's lapse in attention, moved in quickly and kicked him in the back. Trunks was sent flying forward before getting hit in the face with another kick from Android Seventeen. The android held his arms out in front of him and put his wrists together and cupped his hands, forming a ball of energy in between them. Seventeen released the blast at Trunks and sent several more after him.
Android Seventeen flew after Trunks and picked him up from the ground by his hair. Like his sister, Seventeen rammed Trunks's head into the ground, but with more force. Seventeen grabbed Trunks's wrist and started squeezing it until he heard it crack. He then rammed his elbow into Trunk's back and continued pushing until it broke.
Trunks dropped out of super saiyan and was losing consciousness fast. Seventeen grabbed Trunks's arms right below the shoulders and started squeezing them. He felt the muscles ripping apart underneath him and then heard the bones breaking. Trunks screamed before falling unconscious. He was about to continue breaking all the bones in Trunks's body when he was kicked off of him and sent flying.
Eighteen threw a couple of quick ki blasts at Vegeta before going after him. When she got there, Vegeta was up and flying at her trying to land a punch. She ducked the punched and buried her fist in the prince's stomach. She kicked at his waist, only to find something soft in the way.
She looked down and saw that she had hit his tail. She swiftly grabbed a hold of the furry appendage and squeezed it hard. She kicked him in the back, making his body want to fly forwards, but was pulled back by her grip on his tail. She kept attacking him with punches and kicks, using him like a punching bag because after each hit, Vegeta would come flying right back at her.
Eighteen was about to start breaking his bones when something hit her hard in the side, causing her to drop Vegeta and go flying. She looked down and saw that her brother's head had hit her. When she looked in the direction he had come from, she saw a child with blonde hair sticking up and foot still extended.
Eighteen tried to remember where that face had been, and remembered that it had been the only one on the cliff that hadn't dove into battle when Goku was knocked out. Android Eighteen used her energy to slow down then stop her and her brother's flight.
They both shook themselves off and looked back at Gohan to see him pulling off his boots, waistbands, and undershirt. They looked at each other quizzically before shrugging and charging him.
Gohan flew at them and sent a burst of mental energy, throwing them off balance. Using his advantage, Gohan flew and held his arms out as he flew between the two androids hitting both of them on their heads. He quickly formed a ball of energy in each hand before throwing one at each sibling.
The androids crashed into the ground but got back up quickly. Android Seventeen smiled and turned to his sister.
"This kid could definitely be entertaining," he stated. Eighteen rolled her eyes at her brother's attitude. They both just charged back at Gohan.
"Masenko...HA!"
The beam of yellow energy flew at them quickly and struck them sending them back into and through several of the nearby cliffs. They stood back up and went flying back at Gohan, with Seventeen flying in front of Eighteen, making it nearly impossible to see Eighteen behind her brother. They charged back at him and saw him waiting in a defensive stance causing Seventeen to smirk.
A moment before Seventeen fazed out of the way for his sister to attack, Gohan charged forward at the him foot first. Thus, when Seventeen disappeared, Gohan kicked Android Eighteen sending her flying. Using the distraction, Seventeen flew at Gohan and punched him in the side. Gohan whirled around and gave Android Seventeen a roundhouse kick to his head.
Android Eighteen was about to go back at Gohan until she was punched in the stomach. Looking at the face, she saw Goku back up looking like he was back at full strength. She gave it no thought as she grabbed his arm and kicked him in the neck, knocking him unconscious again.
Seventeen hit the ground hard but was back up momentarily. He shook his head rapidly then flew back into combat. He threw a punch at Gohan's head, but it was dodged. He watched Gohan get kicked, and immediately recognized his sister's boot.
Both androids flew after Gohan, sending ki blast after ki blast after him. Gohan used his mental powers and stopped the progression of the blasts and sent them back at the two androids. They easily flew around them and wondered how bad his aim was, until they saw a wall of ki blasts. They looked around and realized that they were surrounded on all sides by the blasts. The blasts all started closing the distance in on them. All of the blasts hit each other and the androids causing a humongous explosion.
When the dust cleared, Gohan saw that the androids weren't greatly harmed by the blasts and realized that they hadn't been throwing very strong blasts at him. Gohan shrugged and flew at them. The two androids threw barrages of punches and kicks, most of which Gohan managed to dodge. He realized that he could defeat the androids one at a time, but not together right now.
Using his powers, Gohan froze both of the androids and flew down to the ground. He spread his legs apart and held his arms at his side. Gohan started screaming to increase his power level. His aura grew brighter and higher as he increased his power level.
When he was done powering up, Gohan flew back at the androids and punched each of them hard in the head. He released his mental hold on them right before hitting them so that they would be sent flying.
The androids recovered quickly and flew back at Gohan. The androids sent hundreds of punches at Gohan, several of them connecting. Gohan flew back some and after a while, realized a problem with this battle; the androids weren't using up any of their energy.
Gohan cursed to himself as he attacked the androids. He sent out a burst of mental energy throwing the androids away from him. Using multiform, Gohan created a duplicate of himself with a small fraction of Gohan's power. That Gohan used his mind to hold Android Eighteen in place while the other one went to deal take care of Android Seventeen.
Gohan began beating up on Android Seventeen casually, since he didn't have to worry about his sister intervening in the fight. Gohan threw a punch at Seventeen's face and then kicked him in the stomach. He followed the android for a bit before elbowing him into the ground. When Seventeen bounced off of the ground, Gohan kicked him into a nearby mountain.
Gohan flew after him and when Seventeen was falling to the ground, Gohan grabbed him by the ankle with his tail. Gohan held his arm straight out in front of him with his fist clenched and facing down. Using his tail, Gohan proceeded to swing Android Seventeen around and causing him to run into his fist then keep going just to have him hit his fist again. Gohan kicked Seventeen in the stomach at the same time that he relinquished his hold on the android with his tail.
Seventeen was sent soaring into yet another mountain. He quickly recovered and threw a ki blast at the Gohan concentrating solely on paralyzing his sister. The energy blast came to a stop a couple feet away from Gohan, before changing course and hitting Android Eighteen in the neck.
"Shvah'esreh low tov," Gohan chastised while waving his finger back and forth. (Bad Seventeen)
Seventeen just looked confused, not knowing saiyago, but ignored it and started to throw ki blasts at Gohan. Gohan easily avoided or redirected the blasts, but didn't realize that several of the blasts were aimed at his double. One of the blasts hit the double causing him to be destroyed. Seventeen smirked in victory and flew at Gohan with punches and kicks.
Gohan blocked or dodged most of the blows wondering why Seventeen was smirking. It wasn't until his sensitive ears picked up movement did he realize that his sister had obviously escaped. Doing some quick thinking, Gohan realized that some of Seventeen's blasts were aimed at the other him, as he noticed that he gained back the power that was sent into his duplicate.
Android Eighteen flew into the fight as soon as she saw the Gohan holding her still get destroyed. She threw a punch at his head, only to go right threw him and hit her brother in the stomach.
"Oof. What'd you do that for, Eighteen?" Seventeen queried.
"That brat disappeared. I was trying to hit him from behind."
"That's because you made too much noise in your approach. Stupid android," Gohan muttered.
Androids Seventeen and Eighteen growled in frustration before attacking Gohan with renewed vigor. Together, Gohan was unable to block the androids attacks. Gohan was sent flying, followed by several powerful energy beams. Gohan smirked as he saw them proving their stupidity again so he used his mind to send the beams clear around him in an arch. He smirked even wider when he heard two gasps and followed by two explosions.
The androids emerged from the smoke before it cleared and struck Gohan down. They realized that he obviously was still faster than them; he just couldn't handle the brute strength of both of them. Thus, Androids Seventeen and Eighteen stuck to attacking Gohan with punches and kicks, preventing him from attacking or turning anything back at them. They started infusing ki into their fists and feet causing more damage in their punches and kicks.
Seventeen sent a ki infused chop at Gohan's neck, knocking him unconscious. He allowed him to fall to the ground harmlessly before flying away with his sister to have some more fun.
Krillin arrived on the scene not to long after Gohan fell [1]. Krillin quickly reached into Gohan's armor and removed the bag of senzu beans. He pulled one out of the bag and put it in Gohan's mouth. After helping him chew the bean, Krillin watched as Gohan sat up. Gohan looked at Krillin, then grabbed some senzu beans and gave them to the others.
As soon as Vegeta was conscious, he took off in the general direction of Capsule Corps. Trunks followed his father to make sure he would be fine. Yamcha, Tien, and Choutzu all nodded their greetings as soon as they were revived then said that they were headed back towards Capsule Corps.
When Piccolo was revived, however, he asked how Gohan was doing through their mind link, and then took off in the opposite direction of everyone else.
"Is he headed towards...?" Krillin started to ask.
"Yes, Krillin, he is headed there. I don't know why he would want to resort to that though," Gohan stated.
"I guess we should follow the others to Capsule Corps. then to meet up with the others, seeing as we can't sense the androids' energy signals," Goku pointed out. Krillin nodded his agreement and left with Goku.
"You're just lucky that there was no one to keep the other android busy while I fought one of you or I would have easily destroyed the both of you, and you know it," Gohan said into the distance, as though Androids Seventeen and Eighteen could actually hear him, before heading back to Capsule Corps.
*************************************************
[1] Convenient timing, huh?
I hope the fight scene with the androids wasn't too confusing with switching between the two individual fights. I believe that I have made it blatantly obvious that I'm not particularly fond of typing in numbers.
I finally got my other story started and am seeing how it affects the rate at which I update this story, if at all. Once I pass the point in time when the other story takes place, which is when Gohan is 15, Gohan will be able to travel to different times, dimensions, and universes at will.
goinu- I know that. I've been changing some things to better suit the ideas behind this story, like Gohan catching the heart virus instead of Goku, but I'm not that great at coming up with new ideas. This story was meant to be pretty much the same as the series, just with Gohan acting more saiyan-like than he actually did and changing things as necessary.
Mystic The Destroyer- I was pretty aware that Gohan does jack diddily squat in GT. I'm considering trying to come up with some new enemies instead, or just using the enemies from GT.
BlackFireDragonK- I will.
ESSJGohan- Goten? Not yet, but he will be born later on.
The Vampire Story Hunter- Yeah, that is a good idea. I've read five Harry Potter books and several DBZ/HP crossovers; I think that that counts as enough knowledge.
Luna's Meow- I'm toying around with the idea of getting Gohan into Yu-Gi-Oh and am pretty sure that I've found a way; it just won't get put in until the later chapters of the story.

Chapter 12
"Bring it on tin can!" Vegeta yelled. "I can take you anytime, anywhere."
"No, f...Vegeta, you can't do this! Their too strong for you, they'll crush you. We have to work as a team," Mirai Trunks instructed.
"I will not take instructions from a purple haired gaki." Vegeta turned his attention to the androids while powering up to super saiyan. "Come on and fight me. Unless you're too scared."

"So? Dr. Gero is dead. Why bother following his orders?"
"Simply because there's nothing better to do. Now let's go somewhere more suitable for fighting or I'll just take you down here and now," Seventeen said.
Without waiting for a reply, Seventeen and Eighteen walked out of Dr. Gero's lab and flew off. Everyone slowly took off, except Trunks, who sent a huge blast of energy at the lab, blowing it up. Goku and Yamcha looked confused while everyone else just ignored it.

He paused, wondering why Seventeen hadn't attempted to dodge. He looked at the group and saw Choutzu with a fierce look of concentration.
"Choutzu! Release him," Goku yelled. "This won't be a fair fight if he's not able to fight back."
"This isn't about fair fights, Goku. This is about a life or death situation. You'd rather die then win because your opponent was paralyzed." Goku nodded his head and Choutzu reluctantly released Android Seventeen.

When she looked in the direction he had come from, she saw a child with blonde hair sticking up and foot still extended.
Eighteen tried to remember where that face had been, and remembered that it had been the only one on the cliff that hadn't dove into battle when Goku was knocked out. Android Eighteen used her energy to slow down then stop her and her brother's flight.
They both shook themselves off and looked back at Gohan to see him pulling off his boots, waistbands, and undershirt. They looked at each other quizzically before shrugging and charging him.
Gohan flew at them and sent a burst of mental energy, throwing them off balance. Using his advantage, Gohan flew and held his arms out as he flew between the two androids hitting both of them on their heads. He quickly formed a ball of energy in each hand before throwing one at each sibling.
The androids crashed into the ground but got back up quickly. Android Seventeen smiled and turned to his sister.
"This kid could definitely be entertaining," he stated. Eighteen rolled her eyes at her brother's attitude. They both just charged back at Gohan.
"Masenko...HA!"
The beam of yellow energy flew at them quickly and struck them sending them back into and through several of the nearby cliffs. They stood back up and went flying back at Gohan, with Seventeen flying in front of Eighteen, making it nearly impossible to see Eighteen behind her brother. They charged back at him and saw him waiting in a defensive stance causing Seventeen to smirk.
A moment before Seventeen fazed out of the way for his sister to attack, Gohan charged forward at the him foot first. Thus, when Seventeen disappeared, Gohan kicked Android Eighteen sending her flying. Using the distraction, Seventeen flew at Gohan and punched him in the side. Gohan whirled around and gave Android Seventeen a roundhouse kick to his head.
Android Eighteen was about to go back at Gohan until she was punched in the stomach. Looking at the face, she saw Goku back up looking like he was back at full strength. She gave it no thought as she grabbed his arm and kicked him in the neck, knocking him unconscious again.
Seventeen hit the ground hard but was back up momentarily. He shook his head rapidly then flew back into combat. He threw a punch at Gohan's head, but it was dodged. He watched Gohan get kicked, and immediately recognized his sister's boot.
Both androids flew after Gohan, sending ki blast after ki blast after him. Gohan used his mental powers and stopped the progression of the blasts and sent them back at the two androids. They easily flew around them and wondered how bad his aim was, until they saw a wall of ki blasts. They looked around and realized that they were surrounded on all sides by the blasts. The blasts all started closing the distance in on them. All of the blasts hit each other and the androids causing a humongous explosion.
When the dust cleared, Gohan saw that the androids weren't greatly harmed by the blasts and realized that they hadn't been throwing very strong blasts at him. Gohan shrugged and flew at them. The two androids threw barrages of punches and kicks, most of which Gohan managed to dodge. He realized that he could defeat the androids one at a time, but not together right now.
Using his powers, Gohan froze both of the androids and flew down to the ground. He spread his legs apart and held his arms at his side. Gohan started screaming to increase his power level. His aura grew brighter and higher as he increased his power level.
When he was done powering up, Gohan flew back at the androids and punched each of them hard in the head. He released his mental hold on them right before hitting them so that they would be sent flying.
The androids recovered quickly and flew back at Gohan. The androids sent hundreds of punches at Gohan, several of them connecting. Gohan flew back some and after a while, realized a problem with this battle; the androids weren't using up any of their energy.
Gohan cursed to himself as he attacked the androids. He sent out a burst of mental energy throwing the androids away from him. Using multiform, Gohan created a duplicate of himself with a small fraction of Gohan's power. That Gohan used his mind to hold Android Eighteen in place while the other one went to deal take care of Android Seventeen.
Gohan began beating up on Android Seventeen casually, since he didn't have to worry about his sister intervening in the fight. Gohan threw a punch at Seventeen's face and then kicked him in the stomach. He followed the android for a bit before elbowing him into the ground. When Seventeen bounced off of the ground, Gohan kicked him into a nearby mountain.
Gohan flew after him and when Seventeen was falling to the ground, Gohan grabbed him by the ankle with his tail. Gohan held his arm straight out in front of him with his fist clenched and facing down. Using his tail, Gohan proceeded to swing Android Seventeen around and causing him to run into his fist then keep going just to have him hit his fist again. Gohan kicked Seventeen in the stomach at the same time that he relinquished his hold on the android with his tail.
Seventeen was sent soaring into yet another mountain. He quickly recovered and threw a ki blast at the Gohan concentrating solely on paralyzing his sister. The energy blast came to a stop a couple feet away from Gohan, before changing course and hitting Android Eighteen in the neck.
"Shvah'esreh low tov," Gohan chastised while waving his finger back and forth. (Bad Seventeen)
Seventeen just looked confused, not knowing saiyago, but ignored it and started to throw ki blasts at Gohan. Gohan easily avoided or redirected the blasts, but didn't realize that several of the blasts were aimed at his double. One of the blasts hit the double causing him to be destroyed. Seventeen smirked in victory and flew at Gohan with punches and kicks.
Gohan blocked or dodged most of the blows wondering why Seventeen was smirking. It wasn't until his sensitive ears picked up movement did he realize that his sister had obviously escaped. Doing some quick thinking, Gohan realized that some of Seventeen's blasts were aimed at the other him, as he noticed that he gained back the power that was sent into his duplicate.
Android Eighteen flew into the fight as soon as she saw the Gohan holding her still get destroyed. She threw a punch at his head, only to go right threw him and hit her brother in the stomach.
"Oof. What'd you do that for, Eighteen?" Seventeen queried.
"That brat disappeared. I was trying to hit him from behind."
"That's because you made too much noise in your approach. Stupid android," Gohan muttered.
Androids Seventeen and Eighteen growled in frustration before attacking Gohan with renewed vigor. Together, Gohan was unable to block the androids attacks. Gohan was sent flying, followed by several powerful energy beams. Gohan smirked as he saw them proving their stupidity again so he used his mind to send the beams clear around him in an arch. He smirked even wider when he heard two gasps and followed by two explosions.
The androids emerged from the smoke before it cleared and struck Gohan down. They realized that he obviously was still faster than them; he just couldn't handle the brute strength of both of them. Thus, Androids Seventeen and Eighteen stuck to attacking Gohan with punches and kicks, preventing him from attacking or turning anything back at them. They started infusing ki into their fists and feet causing more damage in their punches and kicks.
Seventeen sent a ki infused chop at Gohan's neck, knocking him unconscious. He allowed him to fall to the ground harmlessly before flying away with his sister to have some more fun.
Krillin arrived on the scene not to long after Gohan fell [1]. Krillin quickly reached into Gohan's armor and removed the bag of senzu beans. He pulled one out of the bag and put it in Gohan's mouth. After helping him chew the bean, Krillin watched as Gohan sat up. Gohan looked at Krillin, then grabbed some senzu beans and gave them to the others.
As soon as Vegeta was conscious, he took off in the general direction of Capsule Corps. Trunks followed his father to make sure he would be fine. Yamcha, Tien, and Choutzu all nodded their greetings as soon as they were revived then said that they were headed back towards Capsule Corps.
When Piccolo was revived, however, he asked how Gohan was doing through their mind link, and then took off in the opposite direction of everyone else.
"Is he headed towards...?" Krillin started to ask.
"Yes, Krillin, he is headed there. I don't know why he would want to resort to that though," Gohan stated.
"I guess we should follow the others to Capsule Corps. then to meet up with the others, seeing as we can't sense the androids' energy signals," Goku pointed out. Krillin nodded his agreement and left with Goku.
"You're just lucky that there was no one to keep the other android busy while I fought one of you or I would have easily destroyed the both of you, and you know it," Gohan said into the distance, as though Androids Seventeen and Eighteen could actually hear him, before heading back to Capsule Corps.
*************************************************
[1] Convenient timing, huh?
I hope the fight scene with the androids wasn't too confusing with switching between the two individual fights. I believe that I have made it blatantly obvious that I'm not particularly fond of typing in numbers.
I finally got my other story started and am seeing how it affects the rate at which I update this story, if at all. Once I pass the point in time when the other story takes place, which is when Gohan is 15, Gohan will be able to travel to different times, dimensions, and universes at will.
