Before we start, let me fill you in on some things:

Juunanagou: android 17 (the guy)

Juuhachigou: android 18 (the girl)

Ki: energy (I think…when you see it written somewhere, I mean those energy balls)

-

Another thing:

I've rewritten quite a lot. Most of it were sentences that didn't quite work or whole conversations even. Here are a few things I've worked on:

-

1) The kiss between Juunanagou and Leela: I've rewritten this story and left out that bizarre kiss between Juunanagou and Leela. Seriously, I tried to work it, but I failed miserably. There are still weird feelings Juunanagou has towards Leela, but I didn't really go anywhere with it. Besides, it's Leela and Trunks who should get together at the end of the story…but then again, will their issues (read the story for more information :P) stand in the way:: insert cliffhanger ::

2) Oid: There used to be a character named Oid. Some of you may remember. I've changed that name into Meris. I've changed her character too. She used to be bitchy, now she quite nice. But she won't have too much to do with the story, so don't worry if it's not bringing back any memories. (consider her a typical filler)

3) Let's see, what more did I do? Ah yes! Remember when Trunks was all "boohoo-you-killed-my-beloved-Qiana" towards Leela? Well, he's still accusing her of that, but being less girly about it. So that's good. I didn't want him on and on about Qiana. She was a bitch anyway.

4) The last few chapters are rewritten the most.

One more thing:

I'm Dutch and not an expert on the English language so please forgive me for any annoying errors.

On with the story:

1. First Impression

"Hey you! Get out of there!" the purple haired young-man called. He was levitating while fighting the two androids that terrorized the whole world for several years now; it was horrible. The people that survived the androids were either hiding below ground or searching for shelter in left-over buildings. The androids destroyed everything and the world seemed to be helpless. Only one took the task to defeat the androids so the humans could restore the world to what it once was. But for now, the two powerful androids destroyed everything that was in their way...for fun. They were too strong to be stopped by that one young-man, even though he was a mighty warrior; stronger than any ordinary human being.

"I won't go anywhere!" she called back stubbornly.

"Please, it's not save here!" he got hit hard and flew against one of the last standing buildings which tumbled down at the speed he went into it. Juunanagou laughed in triumph. Juuhachigou hovered beside him, proud and smiling. She enjoyed watching her brother beat up Trunks. But she enjoyed beating him up herself much more. She spotted the girl where Trunks had been calling to and informed her brother.

"Ah, another youngster who wishes to die." Juunanagou said pleased. "Shall I?" he asked his sister.

"Why? She's mine; you had your fun with Trunks." Juuhachigou said.

"So? Then you take him now. I've had enough of him, for now. Besides, why would you care for such a low-life like her anyway?"

"And why would you?"

"I'd like to scare her and make her run away. It's fun to see these humans running away in panic."

"Fine." Juuhachigou agreed and flew toward Trunks who was trying to get the rocks off of him. As soon as he did, their fight began. Trunks couldn't help trying to find the girl he saw just a minute ago. But when he didn't see her, he assumed she had fled somewhere save already and concentrated on the fight with the android.

The girl was indeed running away, but she had Juunanagou behind her. But she wasn't running away in fear as Juunanagou thought she was. She was running away from Trunks, so he wouldn't interfere. No, this was between her and this android. He had to pay for what he had done.

She stopped running and turned to Juunanagou. He stopped as well with a surprised expression on his face.

"Why did you stop? Are you out of breath?" his expression made place for a grin. "Too bad, I was going to let you live as long as you could run. You must feel stupid right now. This isn't your lucky day, is it?"

"Depends." she answered cold.

"On what?"

"On how long you last against me."

"I don't think you know me that well. I'm..." he got interrupted.

"Juunanagou, I know." she made clear that she obviously did know him. "You and your sister have destroyed everything on your path and killed half the human race. You both will pay, but you first. You wanna know why?"

"Because you simply cannot resist me?" Juunanagou joked.

"Yea, that must be it. I just love metal." she replied sarcastic. "My reason for killing you first is because you killed my brother right in front of my eyes. You slaughtered him brutally and enjoyed every moment of it. You let him suffer...He was only five years old!!!"

"Then where were you?"

"I tried to stop you, but I was too late. Your Ki-blast blew me against the wall and knocked me out."

"So that was what I heard. You were the one yelling. Tell me, did you enjoy the look upon your brother's face when you woke up?" he was dimly aware of what she was talking about, but he used it to get on her nerves.

Without hesitation she attacked head on. She kicked him directly in his face. His eyes got wide as he held his cheek.

"That actually hurt!" he called astonished. "How can that be? You're just a human."

"Am I? Are you sure?" her eyes were filled with hate.

"I am wrong, ain't I? You're not human… Don't tell me you're a saiyin." he sighed annoyed.

"Oh, but I am. And now I'm something else as well; something stronger and all because of you. You must feel stupid right now." she repeated what he said to her earlier. "This isn't your lucky day, is it?" she continued.

"Something else?" Juunanagou asked and floated in the air.

"Let's just say; I died."

"You d...?" Juunanagou sensed something that he could only sense within his sister and himself. How could he have missed it? "Of course! You got fixed. They fixed you. Stupid humans. So, did you enjoy killing your creators? I sure did when I killed mine." he grinned.

"No, I didn't get the chance. You were there first."

"Of course. So do you like being all wires?"

"I'm part wires, part flesh and blood. Anyway, time to die now."

"What?" Juunanagou asked confused.

"I'm sorry, was I too fast for you?" she said sarcastic. "It's like this: the ones who know, must die."

"Is it that big of a secret?"

"It is to me. But since you've got no chance against me, it doesn't really matter that you know. You're going to die anyway."

"Well I have a question for you."

"Ask away."

"Why did you run all the way over here when you could fight me back there?"

"Because I don't want Trunks to interfere."

"...What is your name?" Juunanagou finally asked.

"My name is not important."

"Can't I get at least the name of my 'potential' murderer?"

"They named me: Akhila Niyati."

"They named you what now?" Juunanagou thought he heard it wrong.

"'Akhila' means 'Complete'. The name my creators gave me when they completed me. One of the meanings of 'Niyati' is 'Supreme power'; which I have. It's Indian. One of the creators was Indian. Frankly I don't really care for those names; it's too long, so I shortened it to Leela."

"How many creators did you have?"

"Two."

"So now it's Leela, huh? Does that one have a meaning as well?"

"Come to think of it, it does. It means 'play and amusement'."

"Well, you sure are amusing, but can you play? Let's find out how playful you really are." Juunanagou smirked and attacked, but his leg got blocked by Leela so he kicked with his other one. Full hit. She swung back and fell down, got up again and blasted green light out of her hands, using Juunanagou as her target. Because he saw it coming too late, he crossed his arms in front of his face as protection. The light exploded and smoke was all there was left.

"That was easy." Leela said surprised.

"You don't think you've won already, did you?" the smoke vanished and Juunanagou floated toward her. "Tell me something, why did you let your creators even 'create' you? Didn't you like being just flesh and blood?"

"If I could choose I would like to be that way, yes. But I had no choice, I was dead, remember? I told you just a few seconds ago. Maybe you should check your memory-card. It's not working really well."

"How did you die, anyway?"

"How did you?"

"Who says I did?"

"I sense something human in you, android."

"You sense it?"

"If you were completely made out of that junk you're made of, you shouldn't be able to feel anything. But you have fear inside of you though you would probably never admit that."

"Really..." Juunanagou protested suspiciously. This Leela-creature sure wasn't what he'd expected.

"Here, let me show you." Leela disappeared which made Juunanagou be more on his guard. He tried to sense her power level, but she'd hid it. He looked around to see if he could find her. Suddenly she appeared really close to his face. He scared and his eyes got wider when he saw her fist coming his way...WHAM; right in his face. He swung back and fell out of the sky.

"Dammit." he swore and got on his feet staring at the girl in the sky. She just floated there...no, she was challenging him to make his move. He wanted to speed up to her but suddenly Juuhachigou appeared in front of him.

"Hurry, we have to get out of here..." she obviously was out of breath and her clothes were torn. "Trunks is much more powerful than the last time we fought him. I don't know how he did it, but he is. We have to get out of here and come back when we have a better strategy."

"But..."Juunanagou began but Juuhachigou already left. He took one last glare at Leela and said: "This will not be over."

"It will be soon." Leela responded and saw him flying away after his sister.

"Come back here!" Trunks was planning on catching up with them, but he saw a glimpse of somebody going the other way and decided to follow. Soon he lost track of the person when they flew between smashed buildings. It came clear to Trunks that the person saw him and tried to loose him, but Trunks did his best to find the person again. He knew the one flying away from him hid somewhere between the still-half-standing-buildings. Trunks lowered his power level and sought the one he was after. He knew only the two androids and himself who were able to fly, but never did he see anyone else who could do the same in his world. The person who he was trying to find could not be anything else but a female, because she moved her body so graceful when she flew very low to the ground dodging every rock in her way, while a man would probably blast them out of his way. But Trunks didn't do that in fear of hitting her. He simply followed, moving his body less graceful than the female. He had more speed, but still he wasn't successful in keeping up with her.

With her knees up, her arms around her legs and her back against the cold wall, she sat in a dark corner under the stairs with a few wooden planks before her to hide herself even more in the shadow. She saw Trunks passing her by slowly and held her breath. She fixated her eyes on his legs which was all she could see from under her hiding place. He seemed to slow his pace...why? Did he know where she was?!

Because of the fear of him spotting her she could not take her eyes off of him. She didn't notice herself shaking, trembling... He stopped! Why did he have to stop?!

Please go away...Leela thought. She saw his feet were set in her direction. He came this way! What should she do? Make a run for it or stay and hope? She wanted to run but her body didn't allow her. Her body disobeyed her! She tried to concentrate on her body so she could make her emotions leave her for a while, but the fear of being caught was too great. She didn't understand this! She wasn't afraid of Juunanagou at all, but why did she fear him then? She checked her memory...nothing yet...wait! She saw something, but it was all vague and the scenes didn't fit together. How strange. Leela tried to focus on the loose scenes, but just when she thought she had it, she caught herself gazing in his eyes. He had found her. Trunks had kneeled down in front of her and held out his hand with a kind smile on his face.

"Hey," he said softly. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Come on out."

Leela forced herself not to be scared of him any longer since there was no concrete reason to. Slowly she reached for his hand, but doubted if she should touch him. She looked in his comforting eyes and back at his hand. Trunks let her take her time. It was pretty dark where she sat so he couldn't really make out who she was.

Leela finally had the courage to touch him. She laid her hand on his, noticing his hand was warm and soft, but strong.

Slowly Trunks pulled her out of her hiding place. Leela let him, but she kept her guard up. Both got on their feet again. Trunks gazed in her eyes.

"Hey, you're the one who stood there while I was fighting the androids. How did you get away? I mean, I followed Juuhachigou when I saw you with her brother. How did you manage to survive him?"

"...I..."

"Wait, you flew just now, didn't you? Where did you learn this?"

"I..uhm..." Leela blushed. She felt awkward.

"I'm sorry, I confuse you. I'll ask you one thing at a time: How did you get away from the android?"

"I...didn't..." Leela answered.

"But then how...?"

"Did I survive? Is that what you want to know?"

"Well, yes."

"I fought him."

"You did what?"

"I fought Juunanagou. He is a weakling, I can manage."

"Where did you learn to fight like that? No human is strong enough to even hurt them."

"I'm not human. I'm a saiyin, like yourself."

"A saiyin?"

"Yes, my real parents put me in a spaceship when I was a baby. They escaped the destruction of planet Vegeta when Freeza blew it up. They went to another planet and lived there for years until I was born. They knew the planet they were living on would be destroyed soon and the spaceship they got with to the planet, wasn't strong enough to hold three. They didn't want to leave each other but they did want me to survive, so they send me here where I got taken care of by two people. A few years after that, they had a boy: Orion. They were my family. Then the androids came. I and my brother could escape, but my parents didn't survive. Orion did not get older than five; Juunanagou murdered him." she didn't notice the tears falling down her cheeks. "Juunanagou will pay and I don't want you to interfere."

"Why won't we work together? We have the same enemies; they killed my friends and my father. I have just as much reason of taking revenge as you." Trunks replied.

"Juunanagou is mine." she said and stepped back, pulling back her hand.

"If you do not succeed, I'll finish him off."

"Are you done with the questions?" Leela said irritated.

"Why did you fly away when you saw me coming?"

"I do not trust anyone; that includes you."

"That's understandable, looking back on your life. Then tell me this: Who are you really?"

"What do you mean? I told you who I am."

"You say you are a saiyin, but there's something about you I cannot explane. But I know it's there."

"I wouldn't know what you're talking about." Leela cast down her eyes.

"What is your name?"

"They called me Akhila Niyati. But I like Leela better."

"'They'?"

"...My parents!" she called out in a hurry.

"Calm down, no need to get so nervous."

"I'm not nervous!" Leela felt like she was caught doing something illegal.

"Well, Leela. I'm Trunks Briefs. Do you wish to come with me to meet my last relative alive? You can live with us for a while and train with me if you like."

"What a kind offer, but I think I'll refuse."

"Why? Do you wish to stay here? Where will you get food?"

"I'll manage."

"Are you sure? Because we have plenty right now. You can train in a special room where there's a gravity-meter."

"A gravity-meter?" Leela got interested.

"It's a machine which can be set on your own level. Fifty times Earth's gravity, hundred times, thousand times..."

"Okay, fine. I'll come with you. But Juunanagou is mine." Leela said stubbornly.

"If you do not succeed, I'll finish him off." Trunks said just as stubborn and flew up. "Follow me." he said and Leela did.
