Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball/Z/GT, but I do own Janden, the Laniins, the other races not including Human, Giendon-sei, a few techniques, and a handful of other things that are my creation alone.
A/n: HELLO! Welcome back, if you're even out there… The last two chapters were kind of fillers, to give you insight on how everyone is feeling and etc. But now it's back to the main action: the Androids! This will be the two Androids and part of Cell, but next chapter is the preparation and the Cell Games. I know I promised that after Chapter Seven this would come up, but I can't make any excuses. I have none. I also know I'm taking such a long time to get to the Cell Games, but still, a lot of work goes into working up to the final climax and then the conclusion…so bear with me, we will be there, just be patient.
However, you may yell at me as the length of this chapter. I thought it was longer myself, until I happened to be going though it once and realizing how little time it took to scroll from beginning to end. Oh well. At least a very familiar character arrives in this chapter. Who? Not telling. (AH the torture! The agony! The…oh let's get on wid it.)
Whatever city names are in here, they are all made up, (or the idea is borrowed, in some cases, from "Blinded" from dragonscales. I haven't exactly asked her permission either. Hehe)
On with the story!
:~*~:
"A person's work is never done, not even when they're dead…"
"Everyone's immortal. It just takes death to realize that."
"WHOA! CHER ROCKS!"

Chapter Nine: Twin's Welcome
First the Androids attacked Blue Star City. The horrible news escalated everywhere at once, crying that the whole population of Blue Star City, 18, 723 people, had been brutally destroyed in a single flash of light. Not long after that came the destruction of Green Star City. And so on.
Goku and the others landed near the newly blasted ruins of East Temple City. Bulma was there too, with her toddler son Trunks.
Goku said upon seeing her, "Bulma, what are you doing here?"
She brushed her aqua hair out of her eyes. "I wanted to see the Androids. I'm going home after I see them."
"But Bulma, you should be home now!"
"I said I'm going home after I see them! Now leave me alone."
Krillin shook his head in exasperation. Goku then looked down at Trunks. Smiling the famous Son Grin™, Goku started to play with the three-year-old prince. Then Yajirobe's plane buzzed by with the load of Senzu beans that the Z-senshi would obviously need. But as Yajirobe got out of there, his plane blew up!
"Yajirobe!" they yelled.
Piccolo said, "Yajirobe is alive, but how did that happen? We can sense no ki."
Yamcha, with a worried look on his face, told Bulma, "Bulma, maybe you'd better go home now."
Bulma, quivering against the rocks, agreed heartily. She gathered Trunks up and threw a capsule. Out came a plane; she helped Trunks climb in and then followed.
At that moment, an attractive young lady landed before the plane. She had blonde hair, light hazel eyes, an unemotional face, and a quirky mouth now curled into a savage smile. She wore a striped shirt, blue jeans, and a denim jacket over the shirt.
The woman said, "Leaving so soon? Let's have a little fun first." Her voice was cold and metallic, a tell tale sign of an Android.
The Z-senshi started. They hadn't even felt her arrive. But as the Android extended a hand, Krillin recovered and shot a ki beam at her. The blast sent her into the neighboring rock off guard, enabling Bulma to lift off without worries.
As the Z-senshi watched the plane ho, they heard another voice.
"You hurt 18! I'm going to get you for hurting her! YAAA!"
Krillin just barely avoided a ki beam directed at him. Meanwhile, the other Android landed near the rubble of the first one.
The new Android did not look at all like his companion. Except for the hairstyle, all they had in common were the facts that they had no energy signature, they were Androids, and they loved to play around with their opponents. The new stranger was black-haired and black-eyed. His hair, like 18's, was straight down, parted on the side, and down to the shoulders. He had a red bandana tied around his neck, a dark blue shirt on, jeans, and a cocky expression that totally matched his sneakers. Some girls might actually call him "cute". Huh.
A blonde head poked out of the rocks. It was followed by the rest of 18 as she climbed out of them. Joining her companion, they faced the Z-fighters. The man spoke first.
"My name is 17. 18 and I are Androids. We could destroy you with a single punch."
18 went next. "Our creator, Dr. Gero, not only created us, but he created four other Androids. Trouble is, we killed three."
"Even Dr. Gero. He was demanding of us loyalty that we didn't owe him, so we killed him."
Krillin, as well as Yamcha, was bug-eyed, but for more reasons than just the story these two were spinning out. Krillin was looking at first 18, then at 17. He looked longer at 18, but destroyed his secret fantasy when he looked at 17. (You know what I'm talking about, right? ;-)) Krillin hung his head, but managed not to let anyone notice his disappointment (or so he thought muahaha)
Goku asked in a dumbfounded voice, "What do you want from us?"
17 smirked, sending shivers down even Piccolo's spine. "We were created with the purpose to destroy you, Goku. After we kill you, we want to destroy this planet. But first, we want a challenge. It was quite boring to blow up those cities with no effort."
Goku gasped. "So it was you!" His outburst was followed closely by another. "You want a challenge?! Then here's one! YAAAAH!"
A ki blast appeared out of nowhere. It charged straight at the duo, who only yawned. At the last split-second, 18 knocked it away like a rag doll. 17 had a slightly puzzled look on his face, like he couldn't quite figure something out. But the Z-senshi knew that voice, even though it had been three years since they last heard it.
"Gohan! Where are you?"
A figure shimmered out of the shadows in the opposite direction of the ki beams. Gohan was still the same as they remembered him, not a day older. His cobalt-spiked hair was still trying to escape his ponytail, one spike flying free, and his clothes were still the same. But one thing they noticed upon closer inspection were the four holes in Gohan's left ear and the three holes in his other ear. There was also a hard glint in his eyes not unlike that of the mysterious warrior that had beaten Cooler three years ago.
MKakkhan stared at 17 & 18. They were exactly as he remembered them in his own timeline. Well, except for the fact that they didn't know him. Next MKakkhan hunted for the trademark feeling of security and hidden [presence] that always surrounded him and his past self. He didn't find Kakkhan's.
'Oh well. Guess I'm early.'
No sooner he thought that than a huge flaring of hidden [presence] resounded in his head. Then he felt secure. MKakkhan grinned. The two Androids became confused. Why was this stranger smiling when there was nothing for him to smile about?
Mirai Kakkhan said to the Z-senshi, "Hi guys, we gonna take 'em, try to keep them from killing anyone?"
Goku nodded. Krillin raised his eyebrows. The grin Future Kakkhan gave him in return was knowing and slightly sad. Yamcha shrugged slightly. M. Kakkhan cocked an eyebrow. Looking around, M. Kakkhan spotted Piccolo. Smiling a bit at the disgruntled look on the Namekian's face, M. Kakkhan looked at the Androids.
Immediately his face shifted from amused to hard. The Z-senshi and the Androids slid into their fighting stances.
The Androids charged first. 17 went for MKakkhan and Goku, and 18 fought the rest. Goku and MKakkhan teamed up against 17. Goku fought valiantly in Super Saiyan form, but it was Mirai Kakkhan who finally beat 17 off, sending him into a crater-riddled ground where the droid lay, too injured to move. The father/future son duo smiled at each other and looked to the others. To their surprise, they saw that a Super Saiyan Vegeta had joined them and was now fighting 18. 18 was actually beating up the Saiyan prince pretty bad; it seemed that more than one Super Saiyan working together was needed to at least seriously injure an Android.
Of a sudden, 18 was sent zooming into the air. Their unnamed friend materialized out of the shimmering air to return Vegeta's glare. He returned his steely gaze to 18.
18 had gotten up and was now in a fighter's stance. 18's eyes were wid and she struggled to compose herself. She was trembling as she wondered who the newest warrior was. She hadn't even sensed him come and his punch had actually hurt!
Kakkhan, sensing the conflict within 18, straightened his shoulders. A ki blast shot from him to seemingly target 17, but it curved widely to land at 18's feet. The explosion dropped the rock from beneath 18 and she fell. Kakkhan sent another ki blast to keep her busy; then he turned back to the others.
"Hi."
:~*~:
Android 18 had been seen flying over the ruins of East Temple City, 17 slung over her shoulder. Goku, MKakkhan, Kakkhan, and the others gave chase. They followed to one of the streets at an intersection. When they went around a building, they found an ugly green monstrosity waiting for them.
It was green all over, except on the face, there it was a creamy white; freckles speckled its body from its head to its stinger to its three-toed feet. The stinger itself waved in the air. Two freakish-looking horns grew out diagonally from its head, giving the monstrous creature a Frieza-type look. Flesh covered the place were the mouth would have been on a Human, adding to the Hannibal effect.
It cocked its head at them, a blood lusty glint in its tiny eyes. Dead Human bodies were cluttered around it, as well as a brace of unconscious Androids. Waving its stinger at them, the new enemy plunged in into one of the human bodies. A bulge moved up the stinger and up its tail and into the sucker's body. More followed as the horrendous creature sucked the life energy from the Human girl.
Suddenly, the creature found itself without a stinger. A new person had arrived. He looked very much like a longhaired eleven-year-old version of Trunks. A sword quivered in his hand and there was an angry frown creasing the young face. It was quite disconcerting to see that expression on an eleven-year-old, not to mention a sword in those skillful hands.
MKakkhan smiled grimly. "Hello Trunks. Or in this case, Mirai Trunks."
:~*~:
A/n: School just started today and it totally SUCKED!!!! My locker refused to open, so my little "spot" of my homeroom was SO cluttered by the things I collected from my teachers throughout the day. And then the teachers themselves had the NERVE to assign us homework! Grrrr! *Sighs* A freshman's work is never done. *Forehead steams* This basically means that I won't have as much time to update and every sweet thang that we lovely authors do only for you lovely reviewers/authors. But anyway—
MIRAI TRUNKS HAS ARRIVED! OH YEAH! So now you see why MKakkhan is called just Gohan and not Mirai or Mirai Gohan! Hehe. Okay, my work here is done. Actually, not quite.
REVIEW!
There! NOW it's done.
Did you find out what the idea from Daughters of the Moon that was used last chapter was? I'll tell you right now: it was the dematerialization of molecules and cells to be invisible, or in Kakkhan's case, to blend in with the shadows. That's my favorite technique that Kakkhan does and that I created. Hehe, I'm getting a little conceited (Allati: A little? AAS: Everyone clap your hands for Allati! She's the muse who slapped me with Kakkhan! *Everyone claps and cheers* *Allati blushes* AAS: back the author's note! *Reviewers groan*) aren't I? Hehe.
:~*~:
SNEAK PREVIEW:
Kakkhan stood before the door leading into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. His tail twitched every so often to show he was still alive. The rest of him, however, stood stock-still and impassive, betraying no thoughts or emotions.
Goku paces around the round open room. He couldn't keep still as the thought of Cell. He circled around the domed room again, passing by the unmoving Kakkhan and the silent MKakkhan on the way.
MKakkhan was leaning against one of the columns with his eyes closed. His arms were crossed over his customary purple gi and blue wristbands. He seemed to be sleeping and his long black forelock floated in his eyes.

REVIEWER RESPONSES:
Gohan's Kat: OMG, you are so totally a fave author of mine! I cannot believe it. OMG! Okay, update! All right, what is it about the time sequence you need help with? ?_?
Rarity88: YES, I AM A GIRL! Golly gee whizzy! No, all I got Kakkhan from was by combining "Kakkarot" and "Gohan" into two. Ironic, isn't it. I'm sorry I ruined your poor doggie demon's reputation…*sniffs* About your hint about the higher levels of Super Saiyan. Well, Kakkhan _is_ immortal. And there you go! I'm going to email you about those MKakkhan piercing thingies if you're still confused about them after this chappie. That part was for you, ya know. ;)
ADDITIONAL THANKS TO:
DBZ Chick1, SSJTigger, and to Nooka.
