Review responses:

simbarulz: Thanks for the encouraging review, I don't really know where I'm going with thisright now but I know the fight with Cell will be a fun piece to write.

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball Z, if I did Freeza would get a deeper voice and Vegeta wouldn't wear spandex.

On to the story

Somewhere in the plains to the North of South City

He Didn't know what had gone wrong, one minute he was on the edge of victory; now he was running for his life.

"Goddamn you Vegeta," whispered Dr. Gero A.K.A. Android 20 to himself.

A shout pierced the steppes as Vegeta called out, "Get over here you cowardly piece os scrap!"

This gave Dr. Gero an idea, if he could use Vegeta's impatience to make the volatile sayia-jin to fire an energy blast it might just be enough to give him the energy to beat Vegeta to his lab to unveil his ultimate creations.

"Over here Vegeta," shouted Gero making sure he was still hidden from view.

"Got you!" shouted Vegeta launching a strong energy blast.

Yes exactly the response I had hoped for thought Dr. Gero as he outstretched his hand to absorb the blast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

South City

A mysterious vortex began to appear in the sky allowing a strange yellow vehicle to emerge from it revealing the figure contained within. It was none other than the Trunks who had relayed the information of the iminent android attack himself, as well as provided the antidote for Goku's mysterious illness.

Upon Trunks' arrival all he could say is, :what happened? Am I too late?" Fearing the worst he took off in the direction where he felt the strongest power was located.

Meanwhile at the Battlefield

Vegeta was irate how could he have fallen into this junkyard rejects trap so easily? "Dammit, if I didn't know better I'd think kakkarots stupidity was rubbing off on me", said Vegeta his every word seething with anger.

All of a sudden a golden blur sped in front of him, it was that boy from the future!

What does he want? Vegeta wondered.

"What do you want brat? I have a android to catch up to." Said Vegeta not wanting to waist any more time.

"You don't know what your're up against the androids you've faced so far are but the tip of the iceberg if you don't stop Gero now he'll release the two androids who destroyed everything in my time," Said Trunks.

"THEN GET OUT OF MY WAY BRAT!" Shouted Vegeta irratated for having his time wasted.

"No I'm coming with you I don't trust you not to let your ignorant pride to get in the way." Said Trunks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Gero's Lab

"Yes I managed to evade that Sayia-jin oaf." Said Dr. Gero grinning ear to ear. "Now I shall have revenge," he said as he opened the pods on androids 16, 17, and 18.

All of a sudden he heard a giant explosion. "what is that?" He exclaimed scared that his precious creations might be damaged.

"That...would be me." Said Vegeta with a triumphant smirk plastered on his face.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're too late I've already released my greatest creations, prepare to meet you're doom!' Said Dr. Gero as he continued his maniacal laughter.

Suddenly a blast shot out instantly vaporizing the former Dr. Gero.

"Heh, he was always a weak fool, Wasn't he sister?' Said the newly released android 17 to his sister 18.

"Yes, maybe our other visitors can give us a little more 'entertainment'," said android 18.

Meanwhile Trunks was in hysterics. Continually muttering, "No, how could I let this happen again?"

Eventually Vegeta got fed up of this and sad, "Shut up and fight brat".

"But you don't understand Vegeta these androids are far stronger than the opponents you faced earlier." Responded Trunks.

"Brat do you think I care? You and I are the only ones left to stop these THINGS." Vegeta said pointing to the androids.

"Now, now, name calling won't help you," said android 17 as he lashed out with a kick to Vegeta's stomach, knocking the wind out of the diminutive saiya-jin.

"Now 17 we wouldn't want to end this too soon," sadi 18 in the same unemotional voice as before.

Somewhere away from the Battlefield

"So Kamii, why did you ask me to come here?" asked piccollo his voice ever stoic.

"I asked you here because it is time our powers were once again re-untied to create the ultimate Namek." came Kami's reply.

"Hmph, As if I'd really need your power I'm strong enough by myself," Said piccollo, his distaste for his lighter half showing through.

"But your not piccollo, surely you must have seen those adroids earlier today, they are but the tip of the iceberg compared to what's coming next," Sadi Kami begging his other half to reconsider.

"Give me some time to meditate on this," was Piccollo's only response.

"Of course," said Kami.

Kami's Lookout

Gohan sat on his new thrown watchimg the pieces of the complex puzzle before him come together.

"Good, everything is going as planned. Soon there will be no threat to this Earth I can't handle," said Gohan in a solemn voice.

The Battlefield

"Damn the Brat was right these guys are strong!" exclaimed Vegeta , obviously in pain.

"Heh, is that all you have? And here I thought the 'Prince of all Saiya-jin's would be a challenge. I guess I was mistaken." said android 17.

"I'm not done yet!" said Vegeta spiiting up a little blood form his mouth.

"Then Show me what you've got monkey," replied 17.

"NO ONE CALLS ME A MONKEY!" screamed Vegeta his anger clearyly clouding his judgement as he charged 17 with and outstretched fist.

"Hmph, unimpressive," said 17 as he grabbed Vegeta's arm a nd broke it/

"ARGH!", screamed Vegeta writhing in agony, until finally he succumbed to unconsciousness.

"Father!:, screamed Trunks, his anger growing with each moment.

"You have bigger problems to worry about, like how you plan to get out of here alive.", said 18.

"You you MONSTER!", said Trunks as he shot into Super-saiya-jin.

"Well I guees your a little stronger then 'daddy', but your still no match for me.", said 18 a smirk plastered on her face.

Before Trunks knew what happened he was out cold.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kami's Lookout

Once again Gohan was delving into the future watching the pieces fall together, this time however there was something very different in his expression instead of what he expected to see everything had changed thesee androids released were far stronger than they shoiuld have been.

"It seems I need to find a new way to make things right." said Gohan as he stalked off into the innards of te lookout.

Well this is the end of the chapter, but I don't know I don't really like how this turned out, it just doesn't seem right. Oh well if you like it tell me if you hate it tell me see you next chapter.
