Chapter 61: The Androids Attack

On Amenbo Island...

With the fires of the burning gas station behind them, Goku and his allies faced down the two Androids. Goku was trembling with rage as he stared down at Yamcha's unmoving body. A vein popped out of his forehead as he glared at 19 and 20. "Bastards! You'll pay for this..."

He took a fighting stance. "You hear me, Androids?! You'll pay!"

The burst of power that came from Goku made the flames flare behind Goku. Android 20's eyebrows raised. "I see. How surprising..."

He stroked his bushy, white moustache. "How peculiar that you seem to be aware of what we are. Perhaps...have you somehow been spying on us as we have you, Son Goku?"

Both Androids took a step forward and Tien and Piccolo each took a fighting stance as well. Krillin recoiled in fear. Goku called over to him. "Krillin!"

Krillin turned to Goku. "Y-Yeah?"

Goku pointed to Yamcha. "Yamcha is still alive. Take him up to Chiaotzu and get him a Senzu Bean. Hurry! Please!"

Hastily, Krillin ran up to Yamcha and hoisted him over his shoulder. "Come on buddy. Let's..."

Krillin glanced up at 19 and 20, their icy cold, blue eyes trained on him. He shuddered. "Let's get you outta here..."

As Krillin flew off, the Androids watched him. Android 20 sneered. "I had thought I had killed Yamcha. But I suppose that even the smallest cockroaches may live without a head..."

As the Androids were distracted, Tien turned to Goku and Piccolo and whispered. "Guys, what do we do? We have to get these two out of here before they cause any more harm..."

Piccolo shot a stony glance towards the various corpses near the Androids. Goku clenched his teeth. "Yeah...we can't risk any innocent civilians getting caught up in our fight with these two. We have to-"

"I agree."

Goku, Piccolo, and Tien all snapped their attention back towards the Androids. Android 20 was staring right at them. He stepped forward and spoke. "I was just thinking a similar thought, actually. The presence of the interloping humans on this island is an indisputable irritation."

Android 20's eyes began to glow golden. "Allow me to solve the issue."

And then, to the surprise and horror of the Z-Fighters, 20 shot a pair of deadly eye lasers past the three of them and into the burning gas station, making a huge explosion. They could only watch on in shock and horror as the assault continued. 20's head jerked from left to right, firing bursts of energy into various buildings and sending a mass of explosions chaining across the island. 20 turned fully to his left and began to fire, 19 bending a perfect 90 degrees at the waist to accommodate his partner's needs. As the unrelenting killing spree continued, Goku charged forward, furiously angry. "STOP!"

The Saiyan from Earth slammed his fist into Android 20's face, sending the Android's headwear flying and making him stumble back. 20 turned his attention back to Goku and hatefully glared, liquid bubbling in the mysterious dome atop his head. In his thoughts, 20 was actually quite surprised at how much power Goku had displayed with that punch. But he simply wrote it off as a product of Goku's clearly enraged state. Goku roared at 20. "I don't care what sort of grudge you have with me! Leave these people out of this!"

Android 20 turned around, picking up his displaced helmet and carefully adjusting it back atop his head. "I do not understand your anger. I was merely doing as you had suggested and clearing the way for our fight."

The Android put on a sarcastic smirk. He was all too aware of how angry he had just made Goku. "Do you object to my methods, Son Goku?"

As the Android snarked at Goku, Tien looked behind them and observed the horror. Almost the entire island was on fire. People were scrambling around in the frames, screaming for loved ones and screaming for help. It was an unnerving sight, to be sure. Goku was livid. "Why?! Why bring them into this?! I'm the one you have a problem with, aren't I? Why not use those eye beams on me?!"

Android 20 chuckled. "Because, hurting others hurts you Goku. You and your good nature and your kind spirit...the senseless deaths of innocent people crushes you on the inside. So, it only fits my programming to personally reduce you to such a state. It helps to fulfill the grand desires of Dr. Gero~"

Tien scowled. "Hypocrites! You're out to follow Gero's orders?! Didn't you kill him?!"

20 seemed taken aback on that question. "Killed him? No. Dr. Gero was able to finish all of us to fulfill his wishes. And then he peacefully passed away of old age. It would seem that whatever your source of information might be, it is quite faulty."

Finally, Piccolo spoke up. "Information sources aside, you've rendered this city unacceptable to fight in. Smoke and fire everywhere makes for an unfair battleground against two foes that don't require breathing."

20 turned to Piccolo. "Oh so?"

Piccolo nodded. "You want to show how superior to us you are, right? Then, shouldn't we fight on an even playing field?"

19 and 20 turned to each other. And then, they turned back to Goku, Piccolo, and Tien and smiled. 20 spoke. "Quite so. Please, lead us to this 'fair battleground' that you so desire."

Amenbo Outskirts...

Yamcha's eyes popped open as the Senzu Bean took effect. Like a lightning bolt, he shot up and clenched his chest through the hole in his shirt, gasping for air out of panic. Krillin gave him a gentle pat on the back. "Hey Yam-"

Yamcha yelped in fear and shoved Krillin away. Krillin stood back and held his hands up. "Hey! Calm down, man. It's okay! You're with friends!"

Krillin motioned around, showing Yamcha that Gohan, Chiaotzu, and Yajirobe were all gathered around as well. The former desert bandit didn't speak, he simply cupped his hands over his face and continued to gasp for air. After what he had gone through, Yamcha was inconsolable.

A few silent moments passed, the sounds of flames crackling and screams echoing coming from below. Despite all of the warnings they had received, none of them had thought the Androids would be anywhere near this destructive.

Staring out across the sea, a quick blur flashed across Yajirobe's view and he called out. "L-Look!"

Everyone looked up and saw, to their surprise, Goku and the others all flying away from the island at top speed, with the two Androids following closely behind. Gohan was surprised. "Th-They're leaving?"

Chiaotzu nodded. "That's good. They'll take all of the real fight away from these defenseless people."

Krillin sighed and glanced down at the flames. "Maybe we should-"

But then, to everyone's shock, Yamcha stood and shoved them all out of the way, taking off after them five of them. "Those guys don't know what they're getting into! I have to warn them!"

Krillin shouted after his friend. "Yamcha! Wait!"

He took off, chasing after him. "Warn them of what?!"

Gohan seemed nervous. "S-Something is wrong. We should go after them."

Chiaotzu nodded. "Right."

Gohan and Chiaotzu both took off. And then, with his telekinesis, Chiaotzu grabbed Yajirobe and pulled him behind them. "Come on, Yajirobe!"

Yajirobe called out as they all flew after Goku and the Androids. "Are you crazy?! I don't want to be anywhere near those guys! Put me down!"

Meanwhile, on the Capsule Corp lawn...

As the horrors on Amenbo Island played out, the Saiyan Hunters carried on their mission in West City. That mission: exterminate the extraneous Saiyans while 19 and 20 carried out their mission against Goku. Bardock and Android 13 brawled high in the air, Vegeta played around with Android 15, and Raditz fought for his life on the ground with Android 14.

The elder brother's lack of a Super Saiyan transformation was damning him as it had so many times before. Raditz was an excellent warrior after all of his training with his brother and newfound friends on Earth, but this Android had a new level of power and speed all his own.

Android 14 remained terse as he shot his hand to the side and summoned a bolt of energy, forming it into and energy spear. He charged at Raditz and stabbed at him with the weapon over and over, nearly hitting the Saiyan several times. Raditz clenched his teeth and then shouted. "HAAAAAAHHH!"

His energy flared, colliding with the point of the spear and causing it to shatter. Raditz leapt back and watched at 14 tossed the broken spear aside and summoned a new one. He took a deep breath and sighed. "Times 40 is unsustainable..."

Raditz let his Kaioken fall to Times 30, his highest, most well-mastered multiplier. Another deep breath and a sigh, and then Raditz's eyes snapped open. "Bring it, Android!"

Two spears came flying at Raditz; he dodged each of them with relative ease and then fired back a few blasts of his own. 14 grabbed two of the blasts and crushed them in his grip. The third hit him in the chest, but it did no damage. 14 charged and summoned an energy tomahawk, bringing it down hard towards Raditz's head. Raditz dodged and watched as the tomahawk dug into the ground, creating a massive fissure going both ways across the yard.

Raditz fired several more blasts at 14's face and then followed it up with a kick. But all that resulted in was a serious pain in Raditz's foot. He fell to the ground clenching his leg and snarled. "Dammit...what kind of metal are you made of?!"

14 levied his massive fist down towards Raditz, but Raditz was quick to react. He popped out of reality using his Instant Warp, appearing right behind 14 and pressing his hands onto 14's back. "Double Sunday!"

The energy blasts shot from Raditz's palms and engulfed 14. Raditz smirked, thinking he had done some damage. But, once the smoke cleared, Raditz was shocked. 14 stood there, barely fazed by the attack. The Android silently glared back at Raditz and grabbed a handful of the Saiyan by his massive ponytail. He tossed Raditz to the ground and stomped on his chest twice. Raditz gurgled, but managed to Warp out of harms way before the third stomp. Atop a nearby roof, Raditz took a second to breathe, but 14 was right on top of him.

Raditz and 14 traded blows, with Raditz getting in several jabs to 14's face and chest. But 14's resilience won the day again. His lack of fatigue or injury in the face of these strikes allowed the Android to summon another spear and nearly run Raditz through. Raditz leapt back and caught the tip of the blade with his hands. With a jerk, he snapped the spearhead off and, turning it on its former owner, he sank it into the center of 14's chest. For the first time in the fight: real damage!

Continuing with his knew lead, Raditz used the Instant Warp to bounce across the yard. He smirked and motioned 14 to come at him. 14's eyes were steely. He charged Raditz and Raditz responded by charging a Saturday Crush. Once 14 was close enough, he threw a kick. Raditz feinted off to the side and levied his Saturday Crush at 14's new wound, sending a current of ki-based electricity into the behemoth's chest.

Raditz smirked and charged another attack as 14 hovered there, paralyzed. "Shining Friday!"

But, to Raditz's shock, 14 regained his senses too quickly. The Android sneered at Raditz and grabbed the Saiyan by the throat. And then, with his free hand, he busted Raditz in the jaw. Raditz was dazed, so 14 sent him off with one last attack, a devastating kick to the gut that sent Raditz crashing hard into the ground.

In the sky, above Capsule Corp...

Sending sonic booms through the air, Bardock and Android 13 traded intense blows back and forth. It was quite clear from the Bardock's point of view, even if he couldn't sense a power level, that Android 13 was the strongest of these three. As he and Bardock continued to fight, the two of them threw not only punches and kicks, but also sarcastic jabs at one another.

Bardock and 13 clashed with mirrored elbow jabs. Bardock snarked. "Nice hat, scrap heap..."

They exchanged a rapid series of punches and kicks. 13 chuckles as he caught Bardock's forearm and tossed the Saiyan across the sky. "Dr. Gero certainly had a peculiar sense of design when he was coming up with my final schematics! Not that I much care to complain~"

He charged and tried to kick, but Bardock caught his leg and headbutted 13. "You look like an idiot."

13 shook his head with a wry smirk. "You're trying to catch me off-guard with your petty insults. Organic fool! I care not for the superficial aspects of my outer appearance! I exist for one reason and one reason only, to kill me some Saiyans! So why don't you quit snarkin' at me with your thirty-zeni-haircut and prepare yourself to die, Saiyan!"

13 charged again and the fight started again in earnest. 13 and Bardock zipped across the sky as little more than blurs, trading intense strikes back and forth and knocking each other around. Every now and again, when an opening presented itself, one of them would go for a more lethal blow, but the other was always prepared to dodge, deflect, or defend.

Bardock shot towards 13 like a missile and slam his knee into the Android's jaw, knocking him sideways. And then, in one swift motion, Bardock grabbed 13 by the head, flare his Super Saiyan power, and twisted the Android's head backwards. 13's eyes went blank and he began to drop like a stone...only to suddenly stop in the air and smirked at Bardock. "Did you really think that would work? I'm mechanical, son!"

13 twisted his head back the appropriate way. "Pretty half-assed idea if ya ask me. I think ya done been out in the sun without a hat on ya head for too long!"

Bardock crashed down and punched 13 across the face, grabbing his hat in one swift motion. "Well, seeing as you don't care about appearances, how about I just borrow yours?!"

13 shot back up and grabbed Bardock's wrist. "How dare you?!"

And backhand slapped Bardock across the face. "You don't EVER touch a southern gentleman's hat!"

Bardock glared. "I know you didn't just slap me."

He sank his fist into 13's stomach, brutalized him with a series of kicks, and then sent him flying across the sky with a spinning punch. 13 stopped himself mid-flight and dusted himself off with a smirk. "Data Collection complete."

Bardock cocked his head. "What...?"

13 smiled and pressed his right finger to his temple, making his eyes flash multiple colors. "Data Input."

13 pulled his hat back onto his head and chuckled. "I am a unique model conceived by Dr. Gero. I can, at will, instantaneously rewrite my database with uniquely calculated information based upon the fighting style of the person I'm fightin'. Unlike the 14, 15, or 19 models, I merely need to take a few hits from an opponent to extrapolate a proper sum total of their skill factors."

Bardock made a note of that. "19, huh?"

And then he struck a fighting stance. "Quit it with that damned Bulma speak..."

13 chuckled. "Let me simplify for you, ya idjit. You. Can't. Beat. Me!"

Bardock smirked. "Well, your brain computer apparently isn't perfect..."

13 cocked his head. "Oh so?"

Bardock charged at him. "Yeah! It ain't advanced enough to see the writing on the wall!"

13 and Bardock clashed once more, with 13 much more quickly reacting to Bardock's attacks, blocking and catching most of them at an excelled rate. Bardock was annoyed. He threw a punch and 13 caught it. "See?! My computer-"

Bardock headbutted him, denting in his nose. "Didn't see that coming, did it?!"

13 headbutted back. "Looks like I got more data to collect!"

Over by Bulma and Vegeta's house...

Vegeta was snidely chuckling as he leapt away from and dodged every attack that Android 15 had to throw at him. Whether it be a punch, a kick, or an energy blast, 15 could not touch Vegeta. The purple dwarf was furious. Sparks could be seen flying around inside his electronic brain case. He shot another blast and Vegeta, rather than dodge or deflect, caught the attack.

He came to a halt, smirking at 15, and tossing the attack from hand to hand. 15 smiled and tried to detonate it remotely, but nothing happened. He was shocked and Vegeta laughed out loud. "Fool! I've already surrounded your pathetic, artificial energy with my own! This is no longer your blast to manage."

15 screamed. "Overconfident Saiyan bastard!"

He ripped off his right hand, revealing a gun beneath, and charged an attack. Android 15 shouted. "Die!"

And then he fired, sending a beam of energy right at Vegeta. Vegeta shrugged and tossed the energy ball as hard as he could, shredding through the energy beam and sending it straight up the barrel in 15's arm, causing it to explode.

15 recoiled back, screaming in frustration. He tried to regain himself, but Vegeta shot out of the smoke and kicked him directly in the face, shattering his sunglasses. 15 sat up, his electronic eyes glaring at Vegeta with a sinister red glow. Vegeta chuckled and beckoned. "Come on then, fool. I don't have all day."

Android 15 stood and charged at Vegeta. "I'll teach you for treating me like a joke!"

Vegeta sneered. "I would never treat you like a joke-"

And then, drawing back his fist, Vegeta through a punch right at 15's face. The Prince's fist tore through the mechanical construct that was 15's head, rending metal into scrap and sending pieces of debris flying. Vegeta shook his head. "Jokes are funny. You're more of an embarrassment that's fun to point and laugh at."

Vegeta ripped his fist away from the remainder of Android 15's head, a twitching lower jaw and a fuel-line that was spurting bursts of synthetic fuel. Vegeta pressed his hand against 15's chest and shouted. "RARRGH!"

A massive ball of energy came of out Vegeta's hand and pushed 15's corpse across the yard. It collided into the side of Capsule Corp and exploded, making it rain 15's various parts. Android 14 and Android 13 both gave pause to this, looking over to their destroyed teammate's remains. Vegeta marched over to Android 14 and chuckled. "I guess it would be your turn, eh lummox?"

14 sneered and charged, but Vegeta sent him crashing away with a heavy kick. He thrust his hand towards 14, ready to blow him to pieces, but then Raditz stepped in the way. The elder brother was bursting with red, Kaioken power. He held out his hand. "Save your energy Vegeta! I've got this!"

Vegeta chuckled. "Oh~! Does Little Raditz want to fight the big, bad tinker toy by himself?"

Raditz snapped. "I'm older than you. Now shut up and go to the Amenbo Islands! Just because Androids happened to show up here doesn't mean that there aren't more over there!"

Vegeta cocked his head. "Are you sure?"

Raditz barked at him. "Quit screwing around, damn it! You know that you had the same thought!"

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "I did. That Android 15 loser was nowhere near the challenge a Prince such as myself deserved to face. That Dr. Gero had a grudge against Kakarot, so the real opponents are most likely where he is..."

The Prince rose into the air. "So, I guess I'll head that way. Try not to die to that fool and embarrass us Raditz, okay?"

Raditz growled in annoyance. As Vegeta began to fly away, 14 stood back up and tried to follow. But, Raditz quickly stood in the Android's path and sent him crashing back to the ground with a heavy punch.

Looking out of the corner of his eye at what just happened, Vegeta cracked a small, proud smirk and sped off in the direction of the Amenbo Islands.

Meanwhile, with Bardock and 13...

Bardock and 13 continued their heated brawl with more fervor than before. But something was different this time. 13 was no longer smiling, nor was he snarking. He seemed furious. He smashed Bardock away with a punch and shouted. "I will not fail the mission I was given! No Saiyan shall escape my purview!"

He turned and immediately tried to chase after Vegeta, but a heavy blast to the back caught his attention. Bardock sneered at 13. "I don't recall saying we were done!"

13 glared back at Bardock. Bardock rushed at him, ready to start brawling anew. But, this time, 13 managed to catch him off-guard. The Android turned and charged a massive energy ball, shooting it directly in Bardock's face and stunning him.

Bardock was quick to shake that off, but that split second was all that 13 needed. Bardock stared, wide-eyed, at the massive energy ball that 13 had prepared. "Let's see ya bounce back from this one, hoss!"

13 over-hand tossed the blast at Bardock. "S.S. Deadly Bomber!"

Bardock retreated towards the ground. "Bulma's gonna be pissed about her yard..."

At the last second, Bardock dodged to the side, expecting the blast to collide with the ground and explode. But, to his surprise, the attack came to a quick halt and then rapidly shot over in his direction. Bardock cursed. "Ah shit. A homing attack..."

He crossed his arms in front of his face as the attack hit him head one, sending the Saiyan crashing through Bulma's fence and into the side of a nearby office building.

13 smirked. "Target destroyed. Now, for Vegeta..."

He turned mid-air to start flying in Vegeta's direction. Just as 13 began to take off, however, a massive energy beam came shooting towards him. 13 dodged backward, but his hat came flying off of his head and was quickly incinerated. Angry, the Android glanced down to the ground below and found a new challenger glaring at him.

Gine cracked her neck and sighed. "I might be a bit out of practice, but..."

A golden flash caused Gine's hair to erupt and spike up. "I'm a Saiyan, myself. Are you just going to run off and leave me standing here, perfectly alive? Huh, Saiyan Hunter?"

13 scowled at her. "Now, it ain't too polite to lay hands on a fair lady..."

Gine took a fighting stance. "I might not like fighting, but I'm anything but a fair lady."

13 smirked. "Well that's good. Cuz I ain't feelin' too polite right now..."

The Android sped down almost too quickly for the eye to see and stomped his foot down onto the side of Gine's head, grinding his heel into her cheek and forcing her head into the dirt. "I take you don't leave the kitchen much, eh lady? All it took was one-"

Gine charged a blast and shot it into 13's knee, damaging the joint fairly significantly. 13 buckled and winced. "Ah! You bitch!"

Gine leapt up and slammed her heel into the side of 13's head, sending him crashing across the yard. "I might be out of practice, but it'll take more than one stomp to put me down!"

She spat blood out of her mouth and squared up. "Come on then! I'm not getting any younger!"

13 raised his hand and fired three rapid energy blasts. The attacks were too quick for Gine to respond and peppered onto her right shoulder and upper chest, blasting part of her qipao away. Gine went tumbling back and groaned, clenching her injured shoulder. "At least...I wore a bra today..."

And then, she shouted and powered-up before charging at 13. The two of them exchanged blows back and forth, with Gine occasionally managing a solid hit against the Android. They separated and Gine struck an Ox-Style fighting stance. "Gotta focus on defense. He's...definitely stronger than me..."

13, meanwhile, smirked and pressed his finger to his temple. "Data Input."

Meanwhile, with Raditz and Android 14...

As Raditz fought with his Android foe, he could see that his mother was struggling against Android 13. The elder son growled and turned. "Dammit! I'm coming Mom!"

Raditz tried to speed over to her, but 14 was there in a flash. He double axe-handled Raditz to the ground and shot him in the back with a hefty blast. Raditz bounced and coughed up blood, but managed to roll out of the way as 14 tried to stab him with an energy spear. 14 glared at Raditz, summoning an energy tomahawk into his free hand. Raditz struggled to his feet. "D-Damned Android..."

Raditz charged at Android 14, summoning a blast into his hand. "I need to get past you!"

He unloaded the attack into 14's face. But, as usual, it did nothing. 14 emerged through the blast and shoulder tackled Raditz across the yard. Raditz tumbled and landed in a heap. 14 glowered down at him, his face bereft of emotion. But then, Raditz began to feebly, one-arm drag himself away and 14 adopted a sinister smile.

14 loudly stomped up behind Raditz, hoping to instill some more fear into the Saiyan before he delivered the final blow. Eventually, Raditz came to a stop and began to tremble. "M-Mom...Mom..."

14 smiled wide, showing all of his teeth, and then he raised his spear high into the air to run Raditz through. But, before he could stab, 14 was shocked as Raditz turned over. Raditz glared up at 14, his middle and index fingers pressed to his brow. And then he shouted. "Hold on Mom!"

Raditz thrust his fingers directly toward the previously made hole in 14's chest and shouted. "SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!"

The piercing energy drill shredded through 14's already compromised outer shell and blasted a massive hole through the Android's chest. He dropped his spear and his tomahawk and they shattered as he stumbled back, sparks of electricity and roiling smoke belching from his mouth. Raditz stood and tried to run past 14. In the distance, he could see that 13 had his mother on the ropes. "Mom!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Raditz just barely saw the attack before it was too late. He crashed to the ground to avoid the massive, energy tomahawk splitting his head in two. Raditz looked up and saw, to his horror, that Android 14 was still very much alive.

The hulking Android loomed over Raditz, his skin shifting from light purple to blood red. He looked absolutely enraged and he shouted a shrieking war cry. "HWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Raditz stood, looking just as angry as 14. "Damn you! Get out of my way!"

And then, with a shout, Raditz began to explode with bright red energy. "KAIOKEN TIMES 40!"

He struck an aggressive fighting stance at Android 14. "Don't think you can stop me! I will move you to save her!"

Raditz and Android 14 charged into one another and clashed. They locked up and began to try to wrestle one another to the ground, looking for any advantage to kill their foe. Ultimately, the wrestling match was won by Android 14, whose brute strength allowed him to toss Raditz aside like a toy. Raditz tried to scramble to his feet, but 14 jolted towards him and kicked him hard enough to make him airborne. And then, the brute followed that up with a hefty smash that sent Raditz crashing to the ground.

14 snarled and tossed a massive energy bomb towards Raditz. Raditz caught the bomb and bent under the pressure, instantly being pushed to his knees. "D-Dammit..."

Raditz was sweating. He squeezed his eyes shut and his mind went to the same place it had gone every time he had been under pressure for the past two years. He saw them all standing there, in the light...all of them glowing with that mystical, golden power: his brother, his rival, his father, and his mother. They all stood there, like golden torches marching forward in life...while he was left behind in the dark.

What was wrong with him?

Why was that power out of his reach?

What was stopping him?

Why was he stuck like this, left to rot in mediocrity...?

"RADITZ!"

Raditz's eyes popped open. He glanced out from under the energy blast and saw her peeking out from the rubble that used to be Bulma's house. Launch was standing there, a worried look on her face, and Ranch was in her arm, cooing and babbling right at him. Raditz's view switched from them and over to his mother, who was currently receiving the beating of her life from Android 13. And then he clenched his teeth. "Right. No time to fall into that pit of despair again. Not right now..."

Raditz roared at the top of his lungs, summoning even more power from within. The Kaioken Times 40 wasn't enough, so Raditz decided to jump straight to Times 50! Raditz fired a massive blast of his own into 14's blast and caused a massive burst that dispelled both.

Android 14 trembled with rage up in the sky. Raditz motioned. "Come on! Let's do this dance one more time!"

14 shrieked once more and charged down towards Raditz, ready to pummel the Saiyan. Raditz smirked. "Looks like I have to steal another move from that day..."

And then, putting all of his strength into his legs, Raditz leaped upwards and smashed the top of his head into Android 14's chest hole. Raditz smirked. "Thanks, Gohan, I owe you one..."

Raditz shoved both of his hands into the crippled 14's stomach and sneered. "Now, begone..."

And finally, sapping almost all of his energy and focusing it into his hands, Raditz launched his newest, most deadly attack. "BLACK FRIDAY!"

All of Raditz's energy erupted through 14's body. The sheer force of the power came blasting out from 14's mouth, his nose, his eye sockets, and even the tips of his fingers. 14's rigid skin began to warp and ripple, and then a final explosion rocketed out, sending his parts fly everywhere.

A damaged Raditz crash hard into the ground and groaned. "P-Please tell me that worked..."

He looked up into the air and breathed a massive sigh of relief. After the smoke cleared, all that was left of Android 14 was a charred, metal skeleton. It dropped from the sky like a stone and crashed onto the ground, crumbling into a pile of metal dust.

Raditz stood up, feeling woozy. "Ugh...too much energy at once. I feel lightheaded..."

A sharp crack of a punch quickly snapped Raditz awake and he turned to see that Android 13 and his mother were still fighting. Raditz began to drag himself toward the fight. "Damn it...Mom..."

Android 13 caught Gine's fist and punched her in the mouth. And then, as she recoiled, he wrapped his hand around her throat. "Lookin' like this is about over, little lady~!"

13 began to squeeze harder, but then Raditz called out. "Drop her!"

The Android glared over at the Saiyan and sneered. "You have got to be kiddin' me..."

13 sighed. "And just who's askin' me to drop her, huh? You? Lands-sakes boy, you ain't even a golden fella! What the hell do you think you're gonna do?"

Raditz clenched his fist. "I'm not...a Super Saiyan? So what...I have my whole life ahead of me to reach that level, so that doesn't matter right now..."

He shouted. "Drop my Mother!"

13 squeezed Gine's throat tighter. "Make me."

Raditz lurched forward, every part of his body aching. "Dammit..."

13 held his hand up, prepping a blast to fire at Raditz. But then, to his shock, Gine sprang back to life. She made a V with her fingers and shouted. "RADITZ! SHUT YOUR EYES!"

Raditz complied and Gine snarled. "SOLAR FLASH!"

The miniature Solar Flare blasted directly into 13's eyes and he growled in frustration. "Damn you Saiyans and your tricks!"

Gine leapt over to Raditz's side and looked to him with concern. "Your energy is flagging. Are you okay?"

Raditz sighed. "R-Running on empty..."

It didn't take long for 13's eyes to readjust. He chuckled and charged a blast. "Idiots."

But, before he could fire, another attack came at 13 from behind. A piercing arrow of energy, similar to the Destructo-Disc, shot past 13's head and blew off his ear. Sparks shot from the wound as 13 turned and glared. "You...ain't I killed before?!"

Bardock stood there, a wry smirk on his face. He was a bit banged up, but his armor was intact. "Nah. Not even close. That half-assed little party balloon you tossed at me barely even damaged the building behind me. Certainly, didn't hurt my shiny new armor. Gotta thank Bulma for this later."

Bardock shouted. "Yo, Raditz! Good work killing that Android. But, you're outta power son. So go and help your brother..."

He cracked his neck. "Your Mom and I will finish this Red Ribbon Redneck."

Raditz was confused. "Why would Kakarot need-"

Bardock sighed. "Feel his energy closely, Raditz. Something is...off."

Raditz briefly felt around for his brother's energy, and then a sense of dread came over him. "R-Right. I'll head that way..."

The elder brother took off into the sky, his posture showing concern and worry. Bardock turned to his wife. "Ready to help me fight?"

Gine wiped blood away from under her nose. "Let's end this. I'm worried about Kakarot as well."

13 sneered and aimed a blast up towards Raditz. This was met with a quick reaction from Bardock and Gine, both of whom fired their own attacks at 13. 13 smacked Gine's to the ground. But when he saw Bardock's attack, another Destructo-Disc beam, he dodged out of the way. 13 sneered. "What the hell is that all about? My databanks don't show you knowin' that technique!"

Bardock chuckled. "Your data banks are shit. I always try to learn what I can from my teammates."

He shook his head. "Not that I owe you any explanations. You're trying to kill my youngest son. And you've already attempted to kill my eldest son and my wife. You know..."

Bardock's power flared. "I've gotta make you pay for that! You know that, right?!"

13's eyes chirp and flashed and then he chuckled, tapping his temple. "Data Input."

Bardock snarled. "Keep it up with that Data Input crap! It won't help! We've been training for you robot bastards to show up for two years! We're ready for you!"

13 chuckled. "Yeah, that much is clear. Y'all have had answers for us non-stop since we showed up. Certainly, wasn't expectin' all the hair dyin' and strength gainin' y'all got up to today. But...I bet I have a surprise you ain't got the answer for..."

Bardock was confused. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Android 13 smiled wide. "14 and 15 have been destroyed...and that's good..."

13 laughed out loud and grabbed the edges of his vest. He pulled it wide open and then, from the wreckage of Androids 14 and 15, four components arose. Two of them flew to the sides of 13's head, sliding seamlessly into his temples. And then the other two collided with his chest and melted in through his skin.

Bardock and Gine both flinched back, watching as 13 doubled in height and his skin shifted to an unnatural shade of blue. 13's hair spiked up high and turned a plastic shade of orange. Finally, his synthetic muscles expanded and exploded out, reducing his vest into tatters.

13 loomed over Bardock and Gine, both of whom powered up and faced him down. Bardock chuckled. "You are one ugly son of a bitch."
