Hi guys another chapter up. Lets crack on.
.
The heroes were all wide eyed at what they had just witnessed. Trunks gritted his teeth. Seeing the androids again reminded him of everything. His mother, the pain he had endured and Gohan. Damian noticed his friend losing control. But before he could say anything the half Saiyan launched a barrage of Ki blasts. The blast from each attack blew heat right in each of the heroes faces. Everyone except Trunks flew backwards. Tien grabbed Arthur and Yamcha lifted Damian. Trunks though wasn't stopping. One after another he sent energy beams straight towards his sworn enemies.
"Trunks that's enough!" Damian screamed at his friend. The blue haired teenager snapped back to reality, stopping his attacks. It wasn't pretty, and he lost himself for a second. But at least it was over... or so he thought. When the smoke cleared both androids were still standing. And neither had taken a big hit. Trunks was left speechless, his power level went down. His head firmly fixed on both machines. Who didn't seem to care about the heroes at all.
"Well sis, shall we wake him up?" Seventeen asked his sibling.
"Three is the magic number." She joked, pressing the button on her right side. The pod opened up, revealing another android. This one was much taller than the others. It had a ginger mohawk for hair. A part green outer shell that resembled a coat and shoes. And another part black shell that resembled trousers. Both Cyborg and Tien were slightly surprised that it resembled Amazo quite a bit. The machine opened its eyes, then taking a step forward. It look around before setting it's sights on the two androids. "Hey there!"
"Hello. I am designated Android Sixteen." It introduced itself in a soft monotone voice. "You are designated Android Seventeen and Eighteen."
"That's correct big fella." Seventeen added. "So now that we've disposed of the good doctor. What shall we do now? You have any ideas Sixteen?"
"I am programmed to kill Son Goku." The league all gasped at this revelation.
"Well you heard the man, let's go kill Son Goku." The three flew up in the air, though they were cut off by an angry looking Vegeta.
"Oh I do apologise, but none of you will get the chance." The prince ranted. Earning a chuckle from the siblings.
"Well aren't you confident. Guess one of us will have to wipe that smirk right from your face." Seventeen threatened. The machine turned to his tall friend. "Sixteen, you wanna piece?"
"Negative, I am only programmed to kill Son Goku." Sixteen explained as a small bird landed on his shoulder. "Hello I am designated Android Sixteen, what is your name?" The bird chirped on his shoulder. Baffling everyone else.
"Am I being ignored for a god damn bird?" Vegeta shouted. "I will not put up with this!" At this point Eighteen groaned.
"Oh screw this, I'll fight you!" She answered Vegeta's request. "If I gotta listen to this clown for another minute I'm gonna kill myself." Vegeta smirked as he went Super Saiyan.
"So ladies first is it? Very well, it doesn't matter either way. You will all end up in the scrapyard." The two looked eyes, and charged in. Their fist collided in a massive surge of power. Vegeta went on the offensive early. Hitting Eighteen twice in the face before throwing her into a pile of rocks. Soon as the female stood up she was yet again subjected to a flurry of punches from Vegeta. The prince attempted a massive punch. Yet it ended up being caught by his opponent. Who took the opportunity to punch Vegeta herself.
Each fighter traded blows with each other. Neither seemed to have a distinct advantage over the other. Trunks couldn't believe how incredible a fighter his father was. When the teenager had fought Eighteen, he had been completely outclassed. His father was actually holding his own. Vegeta scowled, moving backwards to create some distance.
"Galick Gun!" The Saiyan screamed, shooting out a purple beam. This managed to hit Eighteen directly. The heroes all smiled as they were sure of Vegeta's victory. However this soon turned to despair. Eighteen had just walked through his attack. The only damage being to her jacket. The android took it off as it burned to cinders. Vegeta stood there, not believing what was happening in front of his very eyes. He once again got ready to fight. However the battle was starting to take its toll. His movements had become slower and easier to read. Making it easy for Eighteen to block any incoming attack.
"Oh is the little prince struggling?" She taunted. This only made Vegeta angrier.
"Don't mock me!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. The prince charged in with his fist. Every joule of energy he had was in that punch. Eighteen though connected her foot with it. Every bone in Vegeta's right arm suddenly cracked. The Saiyan royal screamed in agony. Causing him to fall to the ground. Trunks saw this and almost lost it completely.
"Father!" he yelled at full volume. The half Saiyan belted towards the winner. Swinging his sword at her neck. Eighteen though dodged it and kneed him in the gut. Victor was next to attack, using his cannon. Eighteen flew up though and poked him in his human eye. Victor grabbed it in pain. While his opponent shamshed him into the ground. Tien threw Arthur at her. The atlantean trying to stab her legs with his trident. The blonde female saw this coming however. She grabbed onto the trident, shocking the atlantean. Before twisting around and hurtling him into Tien. She looked up at the other three heroes. Damian desperately wanted to fight, but knew he was outclassed. Krillin and Yamcha meanwhile shook their heads in fear of ending up like their friends.
"Wise decision." Eighteen said as she turned her back and walked to he brother. "Before we find Goku, I need a new jacket. The clown over there ruined mine."
"Sure thing, we can always kill Goku later. Sixteen you alright with that?" Seventeen asked. The big android was too busy with his new friend. Who flew off as the two other androids approached.
"Goodbye little bird."
"Come on Sixteen let's get moving." The trio started to walk away. Krillin touched down as he stared at them. He didn't have enough power to beat them. If he tried it would end up as a massacre. But he couldn't just let his best friend be slaughtered by them either.
"Wait!" The dwarf screamed. Causing all three androids to turn towards him. "Just answer me this? Why go to all that trouble to kill Gero if you're just going to do exactly what he wanted?" The siblings laughed at their response. Krillin was left uneasy by this response.
"Well you see, Sixteen over here is programmed to kill Goku." Seventeen answered.
"But that's what Gero wanted. And you put him six feet under!"
"I blasted a hole in his head, yes."
"So instead of listening to a dead man. Why not decide your own future? Make your own choices?"
"That's the problem. Sixteen can't make any choices until his mission is complete. That means Son Goku must die." Krillin took a step back. He trembled in fear. Even more so when he noticed Eighteen approach him.
"Don't be an idiot. I'd hate for your cute face to be ruined." She whispered, kissing him on the cheek. Before turning and walking away with her brother. "Good luck." Krillin blushed. No girl had ever kissed him before. His fantasies were cut short however when he remembered his friends. The three still standing heroes tended to the wounded. They were soon joined by Gohan who grabbed some Senzu beans from the lookout.
"I thought we could use these. Seems I was right." He noted. Gohan went around and handed everyone a Senzu bean. The half Saiyan offered one to Vegeta. Who cursed as he begrudgingly took it. Now the only person left was Trunks. The swordsman's eyes widened as he saw the face of his former teacher. Albeit a younger looking version.
"Gohan?" Trunks muttered to himself.
"Yeah that's me. You're the time traveller that beat Frieza, am I right?"
"Yeah that's me. My name is Trunks."
"Wait isn't that..." Suddenly it clicked. "The baby."
"Yeah that's me." Trunks ate his bean. The energy he now felt was incredible. It was like he had never been injured. "Me and my friend Damian travelled back to stop the androids. But we've failed." In sheer frustration Trunks punched a nearby boulder to pieces.
"What happened?"
"We just got absolutely slaughtered." Aquaman chimed in. The mood had just dipped. Nobody said anything as Vegeta screamed in frustration. Flying off into the distance. Trunks was slightly surprised that nobody had decided to go after him.
"I'll go." The blue haired teenager said, with a hint of disgust in his voice. He flew off after his father. Leaving the rest of them. Everyone was left slightly aggravated by his words.
"Don't take it personally." The grandson of Ra's Al Ghul said. Rushing to the defence of his friend. "Trunks in just going through a difficult time. One year ago his lost someone very close to him. Just give him time."
"You weren't there four years ago. He cut Frieza into little pieces. It was quite simply a massacre." Krillin mentioned, Causing Damian to become very defensive.
"What are you saying?"
"I believe Krillin is saying that your friend is full of hate. He must have suffered a lot. More than anyone of us." Arthur explained. "However when somebody goes through that much emotional pain, they can snap." The Atlantean remembered his rise to power. The fight with his own brother. "And if someone snaps and no one is there to help them. One can easily become the very thing they hate. I've seen it happen before." Now Damian was irritated.
"Listen to yourselves. You don't know Trunks like I do. Despite his faults, he's a good person underneath. And you're all going to give up on him?" He argued.
"Hey Damian isn't it? Nobody is giving up on Trunks. We're just concerned about him that's all." Cyborg explained, trying to diffuse the escalating situation. The former football player turned to everyone. "Maybe we should regroup at Kame house."

Piccolo hated being disturbed from his training. In fact he hated being disturbed full stop. However everyone's energy had been going off. Even Vegeta got in on the action. Whatever way he looked at it, the red flags were waving. The androids weren't set to appear till tomorrow. Yet all his allies were fighting now. This was definitely a peculiar situation. Piccolo was flying towards where he was sensing Vegeta's energy. Until something caught his attention. In a nearby town, one huge energy signature raged. However this signature felt like it partially belonged to everyone. Even people like Frieza and Turles. Intrigued by this, Piccolo flew towards it.
As he approached not only was the energy signature gone. So was the entire population. All that remained were their clothes, scattered all over the floor. It was as if everyone had just got up and vanished. Cars were abandoned all throughout town. Only thing that Piccolo's ears were picking up was rubbish blowing in the wind. That was until footsteps started to come towards him. The Namekian looked over to an ally, ten feet to his right. One after another the footsteps became louder. Until eventually something crawled out of the shadows. It looked like a giant insect. With a long tail, and dark green skin. The creatures mouth was orange and large. It's whole body was surprisingly quite skinny. Though Piccolo could sense it had a lot of strength behind it. The two stared at one another. Piccolo's calm and serious demeanour clashed with its cocky smile.
"Hello." The creature snarled. It's voice sounding very strained and raspy.
"I assume you did all this?" Piccolo interrogated the creature.
"A masterpiece don't you think?" Piccolo stared back at the creature with horror. This thing was actually enjoying all this. Though he knew what that was like.
"Who are you?" This question surprised the creature.
"Who? Wow no one has ever asked me who I am before. It's usually what are you? Or why are you doing this?" The monster imitated his victims. "Well Piccolo I'll explain."
"You know my name?"
"I know all of your names. For I am an bio mechanical android created by Dr Gero. I was designed to be the perfect killing machine. A weapon made up of the DNA from all of earths greatest defenders. And all of it's most vile enemies."
"So you're here to destroy the world then!"
"Wrong I'm afraid. I'm here to achieve perfection. Thanks to The Flash, I was able to travel back to this era. You see in my future the Justice League managed to defeat both Androids Seventeen and Eighteen. However I need them alive to achieve my perfection."
"What do you mean by achieve perfection?" The creature chuckled.
"Oh Piccolo I'm afraid that's as much information as I am going to give you. Oh and if you're wondering why I'm giving you this information, it's simple really. You won't be alive to tell anyone."
"Very well then... whatever your name is!"
"Name? Well truth be told I was never given one. But all things considered. I'll think I'll go with... Cell."
"Well then, Cell. Are you ready? Piccolo took a fighting position. Readying himself for a huge battle. Cell meanwhile copied the former villain.
"Well if you're that eager to die. Let me grant your wish." The two charged in towards each other. Piccolo landed the first blow against Cell. The android stepped back dodging another two attacks. Before using his left leg to kick Piccolo away. The two head butted each other. Though Piccolo ended up worse of than his foe. The Namekian cracked his skull after that move. Thankfully Piccolo recovered just in time to see Cells eyes light up red. Two red hot beams shot out of his eyes. The former enemy of Goku only just managed to dodge it. Though the heat did burn his body.
"The hell? That's Superman's ability!"
"I told you already. I have the genetic makeup of all your allies. That means I have their abilities as well." Piccolo gritted his teeth. Once again attacking the creature. Piccolo was holding his own for a time. Though as the fight progressed it became evident that he was outclassed. Piccolo went for a high kick. Only to be thrown into a house. Piccolo was left defenceless as Cell went in for the kill.
"Kamehameha!" Cell screamed as a familiar blue attack surged forward. Piccolo didn't have time to react. The Ki blast was certain to hit him. Piccolo waited for the inevitable. That was until a green barrier came in and blocked off the attack. "What in the world?" Both beings looked up to see Green Lantern float in the sky.
"Hey Piccolo." The space cop nonchalantly said. "How about I make this a trio of green."
.
So I guess you didn't expect to see Cell so soon huh? So as i'm sure you're aware I've changed a few bits around. Simply I believe in my story It only makes sense for cell to travel back this way. So it negates the four year gap to regrow. And he arrives just as the androids awaken. And I also introduced cell before Piccolos fusion because:
1: I thought it would be better paced this way.
2: Since Piccolo missed the androids this would give him the encouragement to do it.
As always thank you all so much. Until next time.
