KABOOM! KABANG! Roaring amounts of furious flames engulfed crumbling buildings of melted stone and steel. People ran in terror, their eyes and mouths open wide with unparalleled terror. The murderous duo, Androids 17 and 18 were sending the citizens of the city screaming, fleeing in absolute horror. The black haired Android 17 cackled "I never get tired of seeing that", Android 18 smiled as she curiously asked her brother "What?".
17 replied "Fear, panic, the indescribable terror these stupid humans always feel whenever they see us. It's absolutely hysterical. You think these stupid rat brains would be used to us by now, we are after all their superiors". The beautiful blonde 18 crossed her black spandex legs, flexing her brown boots. "Just remember, were here for someone's head not for your amusement" 18 said. Android 17 frowned "Give me a break, you expect me to believe that?
Dr. Gero's no better then these filthy, pea brained apes and we shouldn't have to follow his orders anymore". The androids smirked, gleefully basking in the memory of their creator's death. After all, they were the ones that killed him. Android 18 sighed "True but it's not like we have anything better to do", 17 groaned "Like killing a mummified space ape is so rewarding". But they knew that it would be wise to take no chances with Prince Vegeta.
With Goku dead and gone, the androids would have no equal in this or any other world. The Sayian's were the only creatures capable of posing any sort of threat. "Once Vegeta is out of the way, the whole galaxy will be our playground" 18 said cheerfully. Android 17 grinned "Very well then, let's get this over with. I've got a killing spree to start". The androids started to head towards Capsule Corp, when they were suddenly halted by 2 figures.
Trunks and Pan floated in the path of the marauding machines, arms spread out in a defensive state. Android 17 smirked "Now what do we have here? A couple would be heroes, how interesting". The blonde android scanned her ice blue eyes over the two, frowning in disgust at their appearances. "Talk about fashion disaster, they may be bold but they got no taste in clothes, especially the runt" 18 said. Pan growled but Trunks quickly held her back.
Trunks shouted "Your not getting anywhere near my……I mean Vegeta, so just turn around and get lost chrome domes". Pan nodded "And if you don't, we'll be glad to help you do it". Both the androids burst with laughter. "Now isn't that something, a monkey is telling a god what to do, now that's funny" Android 17 said. Pan and Trunks however were hopeful they could get rid of the androids without fighting. There was too much to chance, plus the Judge.
Sooner or later he would show up and soon as he's done with them, he'll head straight for Vegeta. The young Sayian's looked around, dreading the nagging feeling that the Judge was watching, and waiting. Trunks shouted "You don't understand, if you don't leave now, were all gonna be in deep trouble". Android 18 smirked "I think you're the only ones in trouble here. Were not interested in you, we just want Vegeta and his little wife kiddies.
So why not back off and we'll kill you some other time?". Neither Sayian budged an inch, both Trunks and Pan remained perfectly still. Android 17 frowned "Stupid humans, time to join the rest of the vermin". A powerful blast was fired from Android 17's right hand. Trunks and Pan both prepared to counter the blast, but a sudden force of darkness enveloped them. The Sayian's were instantly transported away from the androids, far, far away.
Meanwhile, at the North Pole……
Trunks and Pan gasped in bitter cold as they suddenly appeared at the frozen continent. The black billowing shape of the Judge's cloak could be seen behind them, it was he who had transported them there. "H-h-h-h-how did you d-d-do that?" Pan stuttered in cold, quick puffs of air. The Judge sneered "This will be the last time we meet, STAY OUT of my affairs. Because if either of you ever interfere again…….I'll snap both of your necks myself".
Another shadowy blur appeared, and the dark shape of the Judge vanished from sight. Leaving Trunks and Pan confused, cold, and frightened, frightened of the indisputable truth behind the Judge's words.
Meanwhile, back at Capsule Corp……
Android 18 blinked "Well, that was certainly strange".
Android 17 growled "Who cares? Let's just kill the little rat and get this over with".
KABOOM!
Massive energy explosions erupted around the androids, they shielded their eyes and cried out as the explosive blasts emerged. A choking fog of smoke and dusty clouds filled the air. The androids growled as they found no one in sight, hatred boiling in their merciless eyes of ice.
Android 18 gasped "My clothes are completely RUINED! Do you have any idea how long it's going to take to get all this dust out?".
"Shut up! And you, whoever's out there, show yourself right now. I demand it" Android 17 said scornfully.
Gong……
Gong……
Gong……
The loud clanging of the black funeral bell rang in the fog, the androids winced at sound of the iron instrument. A booming voice could be heard, but not seen. It was the voice of the androids angel of death.
A voice echoed "Demand, you? Scum like you demands nothing of justice, you deserve only punishment for your crimes".
Android 17 screamed :SHUT UP, SHUT UP".
"Know the sound of my bell sinners, for it is the sound of your doom" The Judge taunted.
Android 18 laughed "Oh yeah, HA".
She fired multiple energy blasts into the dusty clouds, firing beams at every angle and frame. Android 17 did the same. But no matter where they shot, they would find no figure attached to that booming voice. Dark laughter echoed in the silvery shroud of darkness. The androids began to sweat.
The blonde android blinked nervously "What's going on here, where the hell is he?".
Android 17 started to lose his temper, "Stop laughing, GR do you hear me god dammit, I said STOP LAUGHING".
The Judge replied "Your angel of death awaits androids".
"Who are you?" the androids asked in confusion.
Black smoke formed the curves of a man's body, the powerful hammer of justice sits proudly in the dark warrior's hands. The black hood hanged heavily over the Judge's face. Androids 17 and 18 growled as they saw the dark warrior approach, almost trembling at sound of his bone chilling voice.
The Judge answered "I am the arm of justice……I am the voice of vengeance……I am the Judge. Beware androids for the bell, (points at them) FOR THE BELL TOLLS FOR YOU".
The androids charged into battle, screaming a fearful cry of anger and rage against their masked tormentor. The Judge raised his hammer in preparation. The angel and the devils began their deadly dance, surrounded in the mists of terror. Bulma watched helplessly from her window, her eyes swelling up with tears. For the outcome of this fight, would determine her own fate.
Bulma sighed "Heaven help us".
