Unknown to the inhabitants of planet earth, a great evil awaits them. A ship, roughly the size of a huge asteroid quietly orbits the moon. This is the same ship Kaizo warned Goku about. Aboard the vessel are a band of space pirates, interested in a new planet to harvest.
"Master, we have arrived." said a crewman.
"Excellent, any word from Babidi?" asked an unknown voice.
"Scanning the planet now master." replied the crewman.
Using highly advanced technology, the space pirates perform what is known as a "Thorough Seismic Scan", measuring the planet's mass, density, atmospheric pressure, and containments of life. This will allow them to learn everything about the planet, as well as its inhabitants, and the Dragon Balls. The scan concludes, showing that Babidi failed his mission, and Majin Buu was eradicated.
"Scan complete, I'm afraid to inform you that Babidi's ship was destroyed some time ago. No life signs detected, he and Majin Buu are gone." informed the crewman.
"What! Babidi was supposed to have this whole quadrant conquered by now! How could he fail on a planet full of weaklings?" replied an angry unknown voice.
"It would appear his plan to resurrect Majin Buu failed." replied the crewman.
The figure gets up from the master chair and steps into the light, revealing himself to be Janemba.
"Lord Janemba, I managed to pull the feed from the cameras on Babidi's ship before it was destroyed. Would you like me to play it?" asked a creman.
"Yes, on screen." replied Janemba.
On the main deck of the ship is a huge monitor, mainly meant for viewing purposes, similar to Frieza's ship when he would look for planets. A monitor inside the ship displays the events that occurred on Babidi's ship during the Majin Buu Saga. Janemba quickly learns about the fighters of earth, and Dabura's death. However, someone else in the room found Dabura's death to be extremely unpleasant: The female demon Towa.
(Towa is one of the main villains from the video game: Dragon Ball Xenoverse. She is a beautiful female demon, curvaceous and slender frame with long white hair, light blue skin, and purple eyes. She is also the younger sister of Dabura. Towa's name presumably comes from the Japanese word "Towa", which means "eternity". Her personality is a very selfish one. She thinks she is superior to every other being, and because of this, underestimates all of her opponents, calling them simple pests in her plan. She is cold and cruel. She enjoys brainwashing people, and does not hesitate to use her magic on anyone. She is extremely persistent in her goals. Her powers are very similar to Babidi, only with physical strength in addition. Her power level is far beyond Dabura's, making her strength massive. Her demonic ways gives her a psychotic and demented personality, delighting in causing pain, agony and chaos. She also wields a staff as her main weapon in combat. Towa is feared throughout many parts of the universe.)
"How can this be! Dabura killed by a mere earthling!" said an enraged Towa.
"Yes, I see your point Towa. It appears Babidi underestimated the warriors on this planet. I knew that foul imp was too cocky for his own good. But this planet is rich with resources. It even has a set of Dragon Balls. With them we could resurrect our master, and rain supreme over the universe. We're simply one planet away from complete control of the universe Towa. Don't let your anger get the best of you." replied Janemba.
"What is the name of Dabura's killer! I must know!" said Towa, tightening her fist.
Janemba examines the video feed further, learning about Eighteen through the planetary scan, "Ah, quite remarkable, it would appear the one responsible for Dabura's death is the sister android of our greatest assassin. I should have known, these androids are quite dangerous." he replied.
Another figure reveals itself from the back of the room, it's Towa's demon creation: Mira.
(Note: Mira is an artificial being from the Demon Realm who was also created by Towa. You could say they are a couple. Mira is one of the two major villains in the video game Dragon Ball: Xenoverse. His name is an anagram for Mirai, meaning "future" in Japanese. He is said to be the new Demon King after Dabura's death. He is known to be primarily an earthling from the future who is also a part of the Demon race with Android parts, but he is also confirmed to be part saiyan. Mira also seems to possess Frieza's DNA as he has some similar facial features. Not to mention his ability to survive any injury. It is implied that he intends to integrate Piccolo's Namekian DNA into himself. His personality traits are very similar to Towa's but still being below her power, and strictly loyal to her.)
Janemba has formed a planetary crime syndicate with Towa and Mira. The three of them find planets of interest, purge it, and take all technology for themselves. Now they have their eyes set on Earth.
"Master, allow me to go to earth and retrieve the Dragon Balls for you." said Mira bowing before Janemba.
"No, I've got a better idea. These warriors of earth have presented a great value to me. This planet contains the saiyan who beat Frieza, and bested Majin Buu. If the warriors of this planet are capable of that kind of power, then perhaps a different agenda is in order." replied Janemba.
"What do you have in mind, master?" asked Mira.
"Where is Seventeen?" asked Janemba.
"He's in his quarters, awaiting his next mission." replied Mira.
Janemba orders a crewman to fetch Super Android 17. The powerful android, through Towa's magic, had received a new, more powerful form. Super 17 is the scout of Janemba's crime syndicate. Just like how Frieza had many different races working for him. Seventeen became a part of that agenda. He is Janemba's best planet purger.
Super Seventeen stood before Janemba, "You called sir?" he asked.
"Yes, it appears we've arrived back at your home planet." replied Janemba.
Seventeen's eyes perked up when he saw the blue and green planet that he came from.
"Ah, I see you recognize it. It's certainly been awhile since you've been home." said Janemba.
"Yes, I do." replied Seventeen in a soft voice.
"Excellent, now, I've got a new mission for you. I want you to return home and pay a visit to Goku and his friends. I want them all wiped out, including the inhabitants. Every last one!" commanded Janemba.
Seventeen was slightly hesitant with this command and started to sweat.
"Is there a problem?" asked Janemba, noticing Seventeen's hesitation.
"It's my sister Eighteen." replied Seventeen.
"Ah, yes, your sister has become quite a formidable warrior. I know there is a part of you that still cares for her. But imagine if she joined us?" asked Janemba.
"You think she would?" asked Seventeen.
"Remember that you were rebellious at first, but you eventually came around. Towa and I saw great things in you. And you have been quite a loyal subordinate. I promise you that no harm will come of your sister if she's brought on board." replied Janemba.
"What about Towa?" asked Seventeen.
"Ah yes, that does pose a problem. Towa has a strong desire to avenge her brother. But don't worry, I'll keep her at bay for now. Your mission objectives are as follows: Go to earth, destroy Goku and his friends, then exterminate the remaining earthlings. You can retrieve Eighteen in the process." replied Janemba.
"Yes, as you command." replied Seventeen in an obedient voice, bowing afterwards.
Towa faces her staff forward, encasing Super 17 in a green barrier that acts as a shield. She then opens a nearby door, releasing the air into space. Towa casts Seventeen into space with a jolt from her hand, sending him on a one way trip to earth at a vast pace. Not affected by the vacuum of space, Towa closes the airlock, returning pressure and oxygen to the room. All crewmen nearly suffocated, gasping for air after the door closed.
"Mistress Towa, you could have killed us!" said a crewman in a slightly upset voice.
Already eager for revenge, Towa impales the indecent crewman through his abdomen with her staff. She tortures him by lifting her staff upwards, making him slowly and agonizingly slide down, coating the staff with the crewman's blood. She grabs the crewman by the neck and brutally kills him by breaking it while giving an evil stare at the other crewmen, demonstrating what will happen if her actions are questioned. Each of them shake with intense fear as she vaporizes her victim's remains by generating ki through her staff, leaving nothing but ashes that fall to the floor.
Janemba found Towa's eagerness, anger, and brutality quite astonishing, "Very nice, your vengeance proceeds you Towa." he said.
"Yes, why are we just sitting up here? Let's go crush them now!" replied Towa in a commanding voice.
"Have some patience Towa, it will come in time. Revenge is bittersweet when planned accordingly. I sent Seventeen on a fool's errand. If I'm right about these warriors of earth, Seventeen will be nothing more than a memory by the end of the day." replied Janemba.
"You mean you want him to fail?" asked Towa, slightly confused.
"Of course, Seventeen will allow us to evaluate the warriors of this planet, and most importantly, the one who killed Dabura. With Seventeen out of the way, there won't be anything to get in the way of your revenge, while I see potential in some new employees." explained Janemba.
Towa smiled at the thought of Janemba's plan. Removing Seventeen from their organization will allow her to seek revenge on Eighteen for killing Dabura without any distractions. Not to mention if Seventeen were to join the Z-Warriors, that would be very bad for his business. Now all they must do is sit and wait.
Back on Earth, on Kami's Lookout, Goku brings Piccolo up to speed on the events Kaizo warned him about.
"So, some demon is going around conquering planets and calling himself Frieza? That sounds a bit odd." said Piccolo.
"Maybe so, he might be strong. We could be in for a major fight." replied Goku.
"If so, we need to be prepared. I must find a way to get stronger. Goku, I need to ask you for a favor. Could you take me to the Sacred World Of The Kais?" asked Piccolo. "I need to talk with Supreme Kai."
Feeling disappointed that he wasn't much help during the struggle with Majin Buu, Piccolo decides to make a decision that could affect the entire universe.
"Supreme Kai? Oh you mean Kibito Kai. Sure, but what for?" asked Goku, very confused.
"It's personal Goku. It's something I have to do on my own." replied Piccolo.
"Well okay, if you really think it'll help. Let's go." said Goku as the two teleport to the Sacred World Of The Kais
Old Kai is relaxing under a tree enjoying the shade when the two appear, "Goku! What on earth are you doing here!?" he startled.
"Sorry Old Kai. Piccolo and I have come here to see Kibito Kai. Do you know where he is?" asked Goku.
Kibito Kai reveals himself from behind carrying an arm full of apples, "Greetings Goku and Piccolo. Fancy seeing you both here." he said.
Piccolo turns to Goku, "I'll take it from here." he said.
"You sure?" asked Goku.
"Yeah, you're needed back on earth. I'll head back when I'm finished." replied Piccolo.
"Well, okay, I don't know what you're planning, but I have faith in you. Good luck my friend." replied Goku with a smile as he teleports back to earth.
Piccolo addresses Kibito Kai, "Sir, I'd like to ask for your assistance. I need to go to the New Planet Namek right away! It's urgent!"
"New Namek? What for?" asked Kibito Kai, placing the apples in a basket.
"I fear a great evil is headed for earth. I can't let the entire planet be wiped out like it was with Majin Buu. I have a plan to help defend Earth, but I need to go to New Namek to do it." explained Piccolo.
"Great evil, oh no, what has come of the earth this time?" asked Kibito Kai.
"I'll explain on the way." replied Piccolo.
Kibito Kai agrees, teleporting them away to New Namek.
On earth, Towa's magical sphere containing Super Seventeen finally arrives on earth, smashing hard into a soil field, making a small crater around it. A farmer driving a tractor, prepping the soil, stops when the crater blocks his path.
"Hey, get out of the way you idiot! I've gotta get this whole field done by the end of the day!" yelled the farmer.
Seventeen stood up and slowly walked out of the crater, smiling at the farmer. Arriving back on his home planet felt astounding. The farmer continued his rant, until Seventeen killed him with a small ki-blast from his palm, blowing up the tractor and the farmer along with it. After that, Seventeen took a moment to scan the area. Now able to sense power levels like Android 16, Seventeen sets off to find his main target: Goku.
Meanwhile, Goku decides to show Kaizo a good time, and get a feel for his new home planet. Still enjoying the time of peace, Goku, Goten, Bulma, Trunks, and Kaizo all go to an amusement park together. They have a great time, enjoying the food, riding roller coasters, and laughing together. The pair seem to be having a great time until a massive ki wave comes flying at Goku from behind. Luckily, Goku barely avoids the blast, and saves everyone in the process with Instant Transmission. They float high in the air, looking down at the rubble below. The remaining people flee the park in terror, thinking they're under attack by terrorists.
"What! An explosion?" said a shocked Bulma.
"That was no ordinary explosion, that was an energy wave." replied Goku.
"What is it dad? I don't sense anything?" asked Goten.
"I don't either, son. Something strange is going on here." replied Goku in a concerned voice.
It's quickly revealed from behind the one responsible for the blast: Super Seventeen.
"Very Nice Goku, I didn't think you had time to dodge." said Seventeen.
"Who are you? And how do you know my name?" asked Goku.
(Note: Goku has never actually seen Android 17. So it's fair to assume that Goku doesn't know who he is.)
Kaizo's eyes perk up with fear and concern, as he recognizes the Super Android, "That's him! The scout! He's the one responsible for the death of my family, and my planet!" he shouted.
"What? Are you sure?" asked Goku.
"Yeah, and I tell you he enjoyed every moment of it!" replied Kaizo.
"Tell us who you are! Now!" demanded Goku with a serious face.
"Hahaha, isn't it wonderful that I know so much about you, but you know so little about me?" asked Seventeen.
"I don't care how much you know. I'll give you one warning, get off this planet!" threatened Goku.
Seventeen breaks out in laughter, "Hahahaha, you have yet to understand anything, Goku. This planet will soon belong to Janemba." he said.
"So it's true after all?" asked Goku. "A demon is going around claiming to be Frieza."
"I can see the boy has filled you in on what's been going on around the universe lately. But the term 'New Frieza' isn't quite accurate. Janemba has merely revived Frieza's Planet Broking business. I'm sure you're aware of the details, as you Saiyans used to work for Frieza." explained Seventeen.
"So what? You're just a band of space pirates? Taking whatever you want?" asked Goku.
"Precisely Goku; you see, ever since Frieza was defeated, Janemba, an evil demon that reigned supreme at the far edge of the universe, formed an alliance with another pair of demons. Over the years, they slowly acquired Frieza's goons, and they're technology. With dark magic, Frieza's entire army was transformed into dark, powerful demons. Eventually they built a ship, and scoured the universe, acquiring more and more technology along the way. But unfortunately, the universe is a big place. Janemba realized it would take several millennia to conquer the universe by himself, so he formed an alliance with an evil wizard named Babidi, who also had the same goal in mind." explained Seventeen.
"What? Babidi?" replied a shocked Goku.
"Yes, Babidi came to Earth to fetch Majin Buu. A creature of that magnitude would be able to wipe out planets with a simple breath. But it appears he failed. And after tracking Kaizo's ship through space, we arrived back here. I was quite shocked when we found out a Saiyan defeated Majin Buu." replied Seventeen.
"And what's your stake in all this?" asked Goku.
"I'm sure you remember Frieza having many races at his disposal in his galactic empire. I am simply one of many. Whenever we find a planet that presents a high price to the galactic market, Janemba orders his warriors there to purge the planet, and make them ready for sale. It's a very profitable business Goku, and I take pride in assisting Janemba in galactic conquest." explained Seventeen.
"Well I don't care who you are, or where you came from. If I were you I'd get out of here. Trust me, you don't want any of this. Leave now, before you find out how dangerous we all are." warned Goku.
"Hahahaha, you haven't got the slightest idea what you're talking about Goku. Janemba has ordered your extermination, so I'll offer you a kind proposition. Surrender now and I promise I'll make your death quick and painless. A millisecond of pain is all it will be." replied Seventeen.
"I've heard enough! You can't have this planet and that's final!" shouted Goku.
"Very well then, the hard way it is." replied Seventeen.
Goku quickly powers up in base form, challenging the galactic assassin to battle, while Goten and Trunks carry Bulma and Kaizo to safety.
"Hey! You can't just leave us here!" shouted an angry Bulma.
"Sure we can. You'll be safe here. We can't fight at our best if you're in the way." said Trunks.
"Hey Trunks, let's help my dad," said Goten.
"Right!" agreed Trunks.
The boys zip past Goku and foolishly double team the power assassin. Their foolishness leads to Goten and Trunks being easily pummeled by Seventeen when he clashes their heads together, making their eyes water and dazing them. The two fall to the ground, each with a big lump on the head.
"Goten! Trunks!" yelled a concerned Goku.
Seventeen mocks the boys at their futile effort, "Is this what you call fighters Goku? Warriors such as these should stay at home." he said.
Goku punches Super Seventeen hard in the cheek. But Seventeen appeared to be unfazed. The powerful android clobbers Goku with a knee to the stomach, and a double fist punch to the cheek, sending Goku flying backwards like a speeding bullet, crashing through the remains of the amusement park, and having a ferris wheel fall on top of him, burying the saiyan under rubble.
Goten and Trunks regain consciousness and see Goku has fallen. Ready for a second round, the boys get serious.
"This guy is pretty tough," said Goten.
"Then let's become Gotenks and show him who's in charge!" replied Trunks.
"Right!" replied Goten.
The boys line up in perfect sync, and execute the fusion dance, "Fusion Ha!" they shouted. A blinding flash of light forms around them, and out of it emerges Gotenks.
Seventeen had never seen such a thing, "They became one." he said.
"That's right, it's called Fusion." explained Gotenks. "And with it, I'll take you down!"
Gotenks powers up immensely, transforming into a Super Saiyan 2. After a quick brag about himself, Gotenks uses "Die Die Missile Barrage" rapidly firing compact ki blasts that he fires from each hand. Unknown to Gotenks, Super Seventeen has the ability to absorb energy into himself through a certain pose and add it to his own.
(Note: Super 17's energy absorption is a feature he gained by the power of Towa's magic, upgrading the android after careful examination of Dr. Gero's work. Unlike Androids 19 & 20, this energy absorption works a bit differently; not only regaining energy by stealing it, but by adding it to his maximum power and making him stronger, with the added effect of his muscles continually engorging so long as he has energy to consistently absorb. However, when performing the pose, Super 17 cannot move, and is left vulnerable to physical attack. A vital weakness to the ability).
Super Seventeen welcomes the attack, and absorbs it like it was a refreshing drink of water, shocking Gotenks in the process.
"What? What happened to my attack?" said Gotenks in great confusion.
"Hahaha, energy attacks are useless, kid, I can absorb any form of energy through my body. This makes your efforts completely useless. I'll give you one chance. Give up, and your death will be painless." replied Seventeen.
"No way! I haven't even used my best move on you. And if I can't use energy blasts, then something a little different." replied the cocky Gotenks.
Summoning ghosts from his mouth, Gotenks uses Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. The Ghosts form a circle around Seventeen and close in. Not knowing the danger of this attack, Seventeen doesn't take it seriously, and let's the ghosts make contact, exploding, making a huge cloud of smoke. Gotenks mocks the android, sticking his tongue out, and thinking his opponent is badly beaten. When the smoke clears, Super Seventeen stands with his arms crossed, completely unharmed, smiling at Gotenks' pointless effort.
"Hahaha, such a feeble attack. I really hope that isn't the best you can do kid; because if it is, you better quit." said Seventeen.
Gotenks stood with a look of concern and amazement, "Umm...help, after that attack he doesn't even have a scratch. I think we're in trouble." he said.
A bright flash of light occurs from the remains of the amusement, and out of it emerges Goku with his gi damaged. Ready for a second round, Goku powers up to Super Saiyan 2, "I didn't know it was going to be that kind of fight." he said with a nice smile.
"Ah, nice to see you again Goku. I didn't think it would be that easy to get rid of you." replied Seventeen.
Gotenks regroups with Goku, and warns him about Seventeen's energy absorption ability, "Hey, be-careful using energy blasts on this guy; he's got some kind of way to absorb energy through his body."
"What? Are you serious? You mean we can't use energy waves of any kind?" asked a surprised Goku.
"Yep, I just tried, and he absorbed them like it was nothing." explained Gotenks.
Overhearing the conversation, Seventeen retorts, "You see Goku, your efforts are completely futile. Any energy based attack will only make me stronger. You should both give up."
"Nope, I'll just have to try harder. I guess I'll use my fists instead." replied Goku with a serious face.
"By all means Goku; try, but it won't help you." replied Seventeen, slightly irritated with Goku's foolishness.
Goku powers up immensely, making the area shake for miles; his aura turns red with electricity sparkling throughout, "SUPER KAIOKEN!" he shouted. Goku strikes the powerful android with two insanely strong blows, a punch to the face, and flying knee to the back, aggressively pushing Seventeen to the ground, making a huge crater. Goku flips forward off of Seventeen and lands outside the crater.
Gotenks had never seen such a pounding in just two blows, "Woah! What an attack! I need to add that to my arsenal." he said.
Seventeen stands up inside the crater with a few scrapes, but nothing of significant damage, "Not bad Goku. Perhaps I underestimated you. But you still have no chance." he said.
"What?" replied Goku.
"Allow me to show you what a real attack looks like!" replied Seventeen as he puts his hands together and charges dark energy, preparing his ultimate attack: Electro Eclipse Bomb
(Note: Electro Eclipse Bomb is Super 17's most powerful attack. He places his hands forward as if performing the Flash Bomb, but instead forms a sphere of black energy with a gray sphere inside it that turns black in the center and has red electricity flowing around it. If he charges the attack for a few seconds, it seems to take on a decagon shape, but most commonly looks like a circle. Once he fires it, it leaves a black trail of energy behind before it hits the target and causes a small, nuke sized explosion that destroys everything caught in the explosion.)
Super Seventeen fires the large but slow bomb towards Goku and Gotenks; try as they might, the pair cannot stop or push back the massive attack. Any attack is just swallowed up by the dark energy. The sphere swallows Goku and Gotenks and explodes, reducing the entire amusement park and the surrounding area to a barren wasteland. The explosion imitates that of a small nuclear bomb, displaying a mushroom cloud in the sky. The other members of the Dragon Team spot the cloud in the sky, alerting them.
"Hey look!" said Krillin pointing at the mushroom cloud.
"What? What is it, Krillin?" asked Eighteen.
"It's Goku, I think he's in trouble. One moment he and Gotenks were powered up, then that big cloud appeared in the sky. He might need our help!" replied Krillin.
"Then let's go." replied Eighteen as her Krillin, and Marron flew towards the mushroom cloud.
Gohan was also outside, practicing with the Power Pole, trying to get a feel for it, making it extend on command. He swings the staff around in a martial arts fashion until he notices the mushroom cloud. Sensing his father and brother's energy in that direction, Gohan follows closely behind his comrades to the battlefield.
Goku and Gotenks rise up from the rubble with damaged clothes, and cuts and scrapes.
"Damn, that attack was enough to destroy the entire planet. He probably held back to prevent from destroying the planet." said Goku in his mind, impressed by Super Seventeen's ultimate attack.
"Ouch! That one hurt a lot. This guy is pretty though. I guess Ultimate Assassin is a good name for him." said Gotenks, attending to his wounds.
Super Seventeen spots them from above and moves in closer, "Well you're both still alive. Perhaps I underestimated your strength, but don't think you have the advantage. Another blast like that and the two of you are history." he said.
Angry that he got bodied, Gotenks foolishly charges the android with a flying punch to the stomach. Seventeen allows the attack, not flinching in the least, showing how hopeless the fight is as Gotenks' fist lays firmly on the android's stomach. Shocked at Seventeen's massive strength, Gotenks summons three galactic donuts and traps the android within them.
"Hahaha, now you're finished! All I have to do is command those rings to crush you into oblivion!" said Gotenks mocking his opponent.
Seventeen easily breaks free, overpowering the rings, further demonstrating his superiority.
"Uh oh, we're in for it now." said Gotenks with a look of concern.
"Hahaha, kid, for once you said something we can both agree on. Now it's time to put you down for good!" replied Seventeen as he faces his palm forward and fires a huge yellow ki blast that consumes Gotenks, sending him flying away until exploding. Gotenks took damage and fell lifelessly to the ground badly injured, but still alive.
Goku could hardly watch the horror inflicted on Gotenks. He slowly felt slight anger rush through his body as he powers up once more, making the rubble around him spiral out of control.
"So, you're ready for another round, Goku. Strange, I thought you would have realized the futility of your efforts." said Seventeen.
"Nope, as long as I still draw breath, I'll never give up!" replied Goku, punching the powerful assassin in the chest afterwards.
Seventeen was hardly fazed; he grabs Goku by the wrist and slams him hard into the ground. Then Seventeen blasts Goku in the face, making him rip through the ground. Goku retaliates with a three hit combo of kaioken attacks; a punch to the stomach, kick to the back, and a punch to the cheek. Seventeen slowly reels backwards in pain, coughing up blood.
Using Kaioken began to take its toll on Goku. He dropped to his knees mildly fatigued, inhaling and exhaling. Seventeen recovers from his short moment of pain and punishes Goku violently; rapidly pummeling the saiyan with several punches and kicks. Finally, Seventeen moves in for the kill, slowly and violently crushing the saiyan's head with his bare hands. The pain was sharp and traumatizing. The sounds of his skull beginning to crack brought delight to Seventeen's face. But at the last possible moment Vegeta enters the battle, kicking Seventeen in the face, making him release Goku.
"Nobody kills Kakarot while I'm around. I've reserved that pleasure for myself." said Vegeta.
"Thanks...Vegeta." said Goku, inhaling and exhaling from pain recovery.
Vegeta took a good look at Super Seventeen until finally recognizing him, "What? No, it can't be! You were killed along with Cell!" he said, very baffled.
"What? Vegeta? Do you know this guy or something?" asked Goku, very confused.
"Yes, he looks a bit different, but he's the android we fought years ago." replied Vegeta.
"Android? What? You mean Gero's android?" asked Goku.
"Yes, I'm afraid so, it looks like he somehow survived the battle with Cell." explained Vegeta.
"But that's impossible; we destroyed all of Gero's androids. Well, except for Eighteen." replied Goku.
"You forget that you missed out on a few events during the time you got that heart virus Trunks from the future warned you about." explained Vegeta.
"Huh? Oh yeah, gosh, I almost forgot about that." replied Goku.
Seventeen smirks at their conversation, "I wondered when you would show up Vegeta. But in a way, I thought for sure you would think twice before challenging an android again. Especially after the beating Eighteen gave you on the highway." he said.
Vegeta slowly begins to build up rage within him. Thinking back to that day of humiliation was certainly not an easy feeling, "That was a long time ago! Things have changed since then!" he replied in slight anger.
"Have they? I think deep down, you know the truth, Vegeta. Us androids will always be superior. But if you haven't yet learned your lesson, then go ahead and take your best shot!" replied Seventeen, baiting Vegeta attack with a ki-blast.
"I was watching your battle with Kakarot, and the boys; so I've seen your absorption technique. That's okay; if I can't blast you away, then I'll have to pound you to smithereens!" replied Vegeta, tightening his fist.
Goku interrupts the conversation with more questions of his own, "Hey! Now I don't know exactly what happened between the two of you, but I want answers; tell me how you know so much about me and my friends?" he demanded.
"Very well, since you're all going to die anyway, I suppose there's no harm in telling you. As Vegeta stated, during your battle with Androids 19 and 20, who turned out to be Dr. Gero himself; you came down with a heart virus which almost led to your death. While you were recovering, Vegeta took care of Android 19 and led your allies to Gero's lab, where he activated Eighteen and myself. After Eighteen and I dispensed with everyone, we went searching for you. After that we ended up meeting Cell. I think you know the rest from there." explained Seventeen.
"Woah! So your Android Seventeen! But how, I thought you were killed by Cell?" replied Goku.
"I was, however, if you recall the wish you made after the battle with Cell to restore all the lives lost by his hands. I was one of them." explained Seventeen.
"I see, well if you are Android Seventeen then you should know your sister Eighteen lives on this planet now. And I believe if she's capable of change, then you can too. I'd like to offer you the chance to put an end to all this fighting and join us. You and Eighteen can be reunited again. Join us, you know it's the right thing to do." offered Goku trying to reason with the Super Advanced Killing Machine.
Seventeen smiles, and declines Goku's offer by kneeing him hard in the gut, "You must really think I'm an amatur Goku, hahahaha." he said.
Goku dropped to his knees squinting in pain. Then Seventeen kicks Goku, making him skid backwards all the way to where Bulma and Kaizo are standing. Kaizo runs over to aid Goku.
"Goku! Are you okay?" asked Kaizo.
"Yeah, I'll be fine...I think it's best if I get you out of here. It's not safe." replied a mildly injured Goku.
"Wait Goku, I wish to stay. I know it sounds weird, but after watching you fight like you have, I feel like there might be hope after all. Please, I'd like to stay and watch." requested Kaizo.
"Alright, I'll be back, I'm gonna get Bulma out of here." replied Goku teleporting her to Capsule Corporation.
"Thanks Goku, now go show him who's boss." said Bulma.
"Right." replied Goku teleporting back to the wasteland of destruction.
Vegeta and Seventeen exchange blows in the air, striking each other with powerful blows. Despite great effort, Vegeta is pummeled by the android with rapid strikes, and uppercuting the saiyan to the ground dazed. Seventeen attempts to finish Vegeta by firing a "Flash Bomb"
(Note: Flash Bomb is a unique attack belonging to Super 17, where he places both hands forward with his fingers stretching out, concentrating energy into his fingertips. He then fires several hundred small yellow shots of energy that act as a machine gun blast. He also seems to be able to fire the attack in a cone shape, causing a shotgun effect.)
In a last second twist, Gohan reveals himself, deflecting the energy shots with a Power Pole spin. Krillin and Eighteen also approach the battlefield from behind; and they're discovery of Super Seventeen astounds them greatly as they watch the assassin absorb the energy shots, becoming slightly more powerful.
"Hey...is..that?" asked Krillin.
"Yes, it's Seventeen!" replied a shocked Eighteen.
"What, but how? I thought he was destroyed by Cell." replied Krillin.
"It looks like he survived somehow. He looks different. I have to go talk to him." replied Eighteen.
"Wait, he may look like Seventeen, but who knows where, or what he's been through all this time. He may not remember any of us. Seventeen may have changed, be prepared to deal with that." advised Krillin.
"I know; this is something I have to do Krillin. I have to know for sure." replied Eighteen.
"I understand, Marron and I will be watching you from back here. No offense, but I think I'm a little out classed here." replied Krillin.
"If for some reason I don't return, take Marron and get far away from here. I don't know what's going to happen, but I can't afford to lose my family in the process." replied Eighteen.
"Right, we'll stay back." replied Krillin.
Eighteen's emotions run high as she's finally ready to fulfill the answers that've haunted her mind since being absorbed by Cell. She descends downwards observing Gohan and Seventeen go at it. Gohan does a quick two hit combo with the Power Pole, striking the android across the face, only turning it to the side. Seventeen quickly reveals that he wasn't fazed by the staff, and punishes Gohan with a strong punch to the stomach and a back hand slap, knocking the Power Pole out of Gohan's hands. Finally Seventeen attempts to finish Gohan by putting him in a choke hold. Gohan could hardly do anything against the android's massive strength. But his torment is halted when he hears a familiar voice, "Seventeen Stop this!" Seventeen turns around to the voice, revealing it to be his sister Eighteen.
"Eighteen! Good, you're here. Now you can help squash Goku and his friends." said Seventeen.
"Don't be ridiculous Seventeen. You know this isn't the way." replied Eighteen.
The distraction of his sister caused Seventeen to loosen the grip around Gohan, allowing him to escape with a kick to the forearm. Gohan flees, and retrieves the Power Pole. He was just about to jump back into battle until Goku put his arm out, "No Gohan, I think we should let Eighteen handle it from here." he said. Gohan reluctantly agrees.
Forgetting about Gohan, and the rest of the fighters, Seventeen continues his conversation, "Come on Eighteen, don't tell me you've gotten soft over all these years."
"No Seventeen, you don't understand. There's no need for you to continue this pointless fighting. I've managed to form a life here; and you can too. All you have to do is wake up." replied Eighteen.
A dense rage begins to build up in Seventeen as the memories of his past flow through his head, "Five years...Five years I waited!" he said, tightening his fist in anger.
"Wh...what?" replied Eighteen oblivious to what he's talking about.
"I waited for over Five years for the day that you'd come find me. But you never even took the effort to try. Instead you spent your time amongst these weaklings!" replied Seventeen.
"What? What are you talking about Seventeen?" asked Eighteen, still confused.
"I'll start from the beginning so you can understand...After the battle with Cell, Goku and his friends used the Dragon Balls to restore all of the lives that were taken by Cell. With that wish, I was restored whole again. I awoke on earth to find myself in the exact spot where Cell was destroyed, I have you and Gohan to thank for that. I could hardly believe I was alive again. At first I thought it may have been a dream. But I slowly began to recognize the truth. I waited for days in that wasteland, hoping that you would eventually return. I even built a small house using rocks and material from the canyon, isolating myself to that area. I anticipated that if I stayed in one spot it would be easier for you to find me. But you never came, and the wait eventually turned into years. Overtime, I slowly grew angry and felt as though nothing at all mattered. And after Five years of waiting, a weird looking spaceship flew over the horizon and landed in another part of the canyon. Curiously I went to investigate, discovering it to be Babidi's ship. A platform underneath the ship opened revealing Babidi, and two demons known as Dabura, and Towa. They came to earth looking for the location of Majin Buu's containment ball in their goal for galactic conquest. Babidi detected me while scanning the perimeter. He didn't want anyone to interfere with his plan, so he sent Dabura and Towa after me. I fought to my best, but couldn't defeat both of them, their power far exceeded my own at the time. Dabura wanted to destroy me, but Towa could see the rage in me, she found it to be quite astonishing. I was spared, only to be taken aboard Babidi's ship. They found it odd that a mere human possessed so much power. But after scanning me, they soon discovered I was an android that had unlimited potential. Babidi wanted to make me a personal soldier of his own, like he did with Vegeta. But Towa had bigger plans for me. She transported the two of us with her magic to another ship at the far end of the universe, where I was met by the demon leader Janemba. He asked me about the rage, and why I had so much of it. After explaining my time one earth, Janemba told me I deserved better and offered me a life of gratitude and respect. At first I was skeptical, but after experiencing the abandonment on earth, I knew there was nothing left for me there. I felt it was time to start a new life, one that I rightfully deserved. I accepted Janemba's offer, and he had Towa use her dark magic on me to transform me into a new, more powerful android; I far exceeded my previous limitations. I found myself liking it. I quickly became a part of Janemba's Planet Broking business. Due to unlimited energy, I would partake on the hardest missions, wiping out entire civilizations on planets, making them ready for sale, pleasing Janemba greatly. He became so pleased with my work that I was considered his best employee. So you see, I have a purpose now." explained Seventeen.
"Is that what you call a purpose? Being a slave?" asked Eighteen.
"It's not slavery when you volunteer. I waited, and you never came. So I made my own destiny! Janemba treated me better than you ever did!" replied Seventeen.
"Those lives you took. Did you enjoy it?" asked a very serious Eighteen.
"Hahaha, of course, you have to enjoy what you do in this line of work. It's what you and I were designed to do Eighteen. Killers! That's what we are!" replied Seventeen.
"Taking orders? Pathetic! What happened to you Seventeen? You used to be somebody I could trust." replied Eighteen.
"I woke up; in fact, I've never thought more clearly. You left me high and dry, so I decided to join the winning team. Janemba has ordered me to exterminate every living thing on this planet, that includes you. But I'm willing to give you a chance to redeem yourself Eighteen. All you have to do is eliminate one hundred humans on this planet. That should be nothing for you. Prove to me that somewhere inside you the killer still remains! Once you do that, all will be forgiven, and we can be a team again Eighteen. Think about it...no force in the universe could stop us." replied Seventeen.
"I can't even look at you anymore. You sicken me! You're half of what you were before!" replied Eighteen in disgust at her brother's ulterior motives.
"Hmm...how do you figure that one Eighteen. I'm far stronger now!" replied Seventeen.
"Strength is one thing Seventeen, but character is another." said Eighteen. "The Seventeen I knew wasn't a cold-blooded killer. At one time you were programmed to kill Goku but you never took pleasure in killing innocent people. You even managed to overcome Dr. Gero's programming! You were so strong and independent that you refused to be controlled! But now look at you; standing there like you own the place. I can't believe I once considered you my brother."
"How dare you say that Eighteen! You never bothered to even think about me after our battle with Cell. In fact, I've come to realize that you never gave a shit about me!" replied Seventeen.
"Oh come on Seventeen! You know that's not true! I cared more about you than you'll ever realize." replied Eighteen.
"Enough with the theatrics Eighteen!" angrily shouted Seventeen. "I'll give you one last chance to join me Eighteen. The offer still stands; eliminate one hundred humans. I'll swing by for a body count after I'm done with Goku and his friends."
"Forget it, Seventeen! If you want to destroy Goku and everyone else, then you're gonna have to go through me to do it!" replied Eighteen.
"Then if you won't join, I'll have to persuade you another way." replied Seventeen aiming his palm at Krillin and Marron in the distance.
Eighteen's eyes perked up in suspense, "Wait, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Reliving you of any attachments that could blind you from the truth." replied Seventeen as he fires a small ki-blast at Krillin and Marron. Eighteen was too far away to do anything. She could only watch in horror. But in a shocking twist, Kaizo jumps in the way of the blast, taking the full force of it. He screams as his body darkens and falls on his back mortally wounded. Krillin stood shocked beyond belief that Kaizo would do such a thing.
With tears in his eyes, Kaizo reflects on his time with Krillin and everyone else, thanking them for showing him kindness, going as far as to admit that his short time on earth was no doubt the best experience he's had in his life. Now he can finally be reunited with his family who was also killed by Seventeen. Kaizo bids farewell to Krillin and dies peacefully, closing his eyes and planting his head to the ground.
"No...I don't believe it; Kaizo sacrificed himself for us. That poor kid. He's been through so much." said Krillin, horroring the boy for his bravery.
Seventeen mocks the boy, "Dammit, I wanted to save the boy for last. Oh well, he had it coming eventually." he said.
The thought of Seventeen trying to kill her family created a silent rage within Eighteen, "You...you tried to kill my family." she retorted.
"Ah, I can see the rage in you, Eighteen. I know you've got a temper. Perhaps you could take it out on these humans. Last time, Eighteen! Go eliminate one hundred earthlings and return to me. After that we can talk about being a family again." said Seventeen.
"I'm not listening to anything you say. You've become so heartless. In fact, I don't want you anywhere near my family!" replied Eighteen in disgust.
"So be it then, you had your chance Eighteen. It's too bad I have to destroy you. We could have been so great together. Now you've sealed your fate." replied Seventeen.
"I think you'll find it won't be so easy. You've gotten some upgrades, but I've been through some changes too." replied Eighteen.
"Hmm...alright then, I'll let you have the first move. Let's see what you've got Eighteen!" challenged Seventeen.
Eighteen accepts the challenge, indicating a battle between Super Androids. She cups her hands together, firing a Super Kamehameha directly at Seventeen, which he welcomes with open arms. Seventeen poses, absorbing the blast like a hot fudge sundae, screaming with enjoyment as he feels the power flow through his body.
"What! He absorbed it?" said Eighteen in amazement. In a fit of rage, Eighteen fires a barrage of ki-blasts from each hand in rapid succession at the assassin. Seventeen continued to absorb everything, gaining more power with each blast. Eighteen's barrage made pieces of the scenery break apart, forming a bolder that smacks hard into Seventeen.
Goku notices that Seventeen didn't try to avoid the boulder, and quickly discovers the Android's vital weakness; he can't move during his absorption pose, leaving him vulnerable to physical attack. Goku quickly tells Eighteen to stop as a plan comes to his mind, "Eighteen! Stop! You're only making him stronger! He absorbs energy attacks!"
"Damn, it would have been nice to know that earlier." said Eighteen.
"Hahaha, like it really matters Eighteen. You're all going to die. It's only a matter of time before I crush the life out of every one of you." replied Seventeen.
Super Seventeen and Super Eighteen duke it out in the air, exchanging powerful blows. But with Seventeen's recent increase in power he overpowers Eighteen in just a short amount of time. Seeing that she's in trouble Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and a renewed Gotenks, jump into battle to help her, turning into a huge battle.
Meanwhile, Piccolo and Kibito Kai finally arrive at New Namek. The first time Piccolo has ever set foot on the identical planet.
"So this is New Namek. It feels exactly the same as the original Namek." said Piccolo as he takes in the sight of his new found home planet.
"Indeed, the nameks went to great trouble to find this planet. Thankfully it's a planet of similar size and mass. Allowing them to live in peace." replied Kibito Kai.
Piccolo and Kibito Kai are quickly greeted by Moori and the other nameks behind him, "Greetings Piccolo and Lord Kai. What brings you all the way out here?" he asked.
"We're here at the request of Piccolo. He seeks an audience with you." explained Kibito Kai.
"Really, it must be very important for you to come all this way. Piccolo, state your request." replied Moori.
Piccolo kneels before Moori as a show of respect, proclaiming his request, "Master Moori, I'm afraid a great evil is headed towards earth once again."
"Hmm...what kind of evil do you speak of?" asked Moori.
"There's a powerful demon claiming to be a recursion of Frieza. I can't let what happened to earth with Majin Buu happen again.." explained Piccolo.
"What? Another Frieza? By god, it can't be. If what you say is true, then we must take all necessary steps to stop this foe. What is the request you seek?" asked Moori.
"We must perform the Demon Clan ritual immediately!" demanded Piccolo.
(Note: The Demon Clan ritual is a magical ceremony that only those of the Demon Clan Tribe can partake in. Similar to fusing with Nail, and later Kami, the ceremony allows the member to fuse with the mystical power of the Namekian Dragon Ball to receive an enormous boost in power. However, this comes at an intensive price; once performed successfully, the Dragon Balls of Namek will disappear forever, and can never be recovered or used again. Piccolo's father: King Piccolo, was a former member of the Demon Clan, which allowed him to have many warriors at his disposal, as well as grant the ability to cast many spells and magical incantations. Piccolo was also a Demon Clansman until the Raditz Saga. Despite not being a Demon Clansmen, Piccolo still clung onto his demonic heritage even adding his clan's symbol to the back of Gohan's Turtle Hermit to symbolize that Gohan was a student of the Demon Clan as he trained Gohan mainly because he had a premonition of his death which Kami felt was an attempt to leave behind some sort of legacy even if it was in the son of an enemy.)
"What? The Demon Clan ritual? Why I haven't heard of such a thing since King Piccolo was destroyed. You know what this means for our people? If you do this now, there will be no going back. Are you sure of this decision?" asked Moori.
"Yes, I'm aware of the stakes. It may very well be our only hope. We can't take any more chances." replied a very confident Piccolo.
"Hmm...normally I would be against this idea. However, given the situation and the possible outcome, I reluctantly agree, the evil that once plagued your heart has greatly diminished Piccolo. If anyone is worthy of such a request it's most certainly you. Very well...let's proceed." agreed Moori.
Overhearing the conversation, Kibito Kai expresses his confusion, "Umm...Piccolo? What's this Demon ritual you speak of?" he asked.
"You'll understand in a moment, just stand back and watch." replied Piccolo.
The Namekians bring forth all seven Dragon Balls, placing them in a perfect circle around Piccolo. Moori utters a magical phrase in the Namekian language that seems almost identical to summoning Porunga. But something different happened; the Dragon Balls pulsate rapidly for a few minutes, the sky turns dark; a sudden burst of radical energy erupts from the seven balls, forming a funnel of light energy that flows upwards and shoots into Piccolo, making his body turn a bright shade of yellow. Piccolo screams as the energy flows throughout his body. Finally electricity forms, and in a brilliant explosion of light, Piccolo stands reborn, more powerful than ever. The Dragon Balls disappear as they're mystical presents now reside within Piccolo. The powerful Namekian warrior looks at his hands, noticing electricity flowing through them, feeling the power bestowed upon him.
Kibito Kai stood in utter amazement at what he had just witnessed, "What? Can one really fuse with the Dragon Balls? Is it really possible?" he asked in his mind.
"Very nice, the power's all yours like you requested. Now go do your people proud Piccolo." said Moori, honoring Piccolo's decision.
"Right, I'll do my best sir." replied Piccolo.
After a short goodbye, Kibito Kai and Piccolo travel to earth, appearing on the Lookout. Immediately Piccolo senses the trouble on earth, sensing that Everyone with the exception of being able to sense Eighteen power levels has dropped. With no time to waste, Piccolo takes off his weighted training clothes and prepares to take flight. But before he does, Dende reveals himself, and informs Piccolo of the situation on earth. Hearing the news was quite shocking.
"What? Android Seventeen is back? But how? I thought he was destroyed by Cell." said Piccolo.
"Yes, that's what we all thought. But it appears he's alive and well. From what I saw, he's got ulterior motives." replied Dende.
"Well, on the bright side of things, I can test these new powers." replied Piccolo.
"Yes, you must hurry, Piccolo! Goku and his friends are hanging on by a thread!" replied Dende.
"Right, there's no time to waste. Wish me luck Dende." replied Piccolo as he waves goodbye to Dende and Kibito Kai, and flies off, shooting downward. Piccolo takes a quick stop by Korin's Tower for some Senzu Beans. After a brief explanation, Korin quickly obliges, and gives Piccolo a full bag of the restorative beans, which he quickly ties to his waistband. Piccolo takes off again and flies full speed ahead towards his friends depleting energy signal.
At the once called amusement park, Super Seventeen has pretty much beaten up everyone except for Eighteen. She's the only one still able to defend herself. The two Super Androids duel it out, and despite Eighteen's great efforts, Seventeen had absorbed too much power for the Dragon Team to handle. It was only a matter of time for she too succumbed to the power of Super Seventeen, pummeling Super Eighteen in three mighty blows, knocking her through the scenery.
Seeing the struggle made Krillin realize he's the only one left that can defend earth. Forming a plan of attack, Krillin gets behind Seventeen and launches a Destructo Disc. To no avail, Seventeen destroys the disc with a large outward clap. The frightened Krillin stood firm and fresh out of ideas. Super Seventeen takes Krillin out of the fight in one blow, a back hand slap to the face, knocking him away like a fly, putting him in a near death state.
"How foolish, you dare challenge me after what you've seen. You should have left while you had the chance, you might have lived a bit longer. But it's too late for you now. Time to meet your end!" said Seventeen as he tries to kill Krillin by firing a yellow ki-blast. But the blast is averted when another blast flies in, knocking it away, saving Krillin.
"What! Who did that?" said a shocked Seventeen.
"That would be me." replied Piccolo revealing himself.
"Piccolo, so, you finally decided to show yourself. I thought for sure you would have learned from our last battle." replied Seventeen.
"Hmph, not likely, to be honest, I always wanted another shot at you." replied Piccolo.
A badly injured Krillin looks up with a happy face to see his friend, "Piccolo...you're hereā¦" he muttered.
"Yeah, here, this'll fix you right up." replied Piccolo kneeling down, giving Krillin a Senzu Bean.
Krillin immediately feels his strength returns and stands up, "Thanks Piccolo, damn, any sooner and we would have been goners for sure." he said.
"Right...here...pass these around." replied Piccolo, handing Krillin the bag of Senzu Beans, "I'll hold off Seventeen while you help everyone else." advised Piccolo.
"But you can't just fight him on your own! He took us all without much effort!" replied Krillin.
"Just do it Krillin! This is no time to argue!" demanded Piccolo.
Krillin wasn't too fond of Piccolo's decision, but honored his request. He quickly runs towards everyone, giving each of them a Senzu Bean (except for Eighteen) Piccolo's new power was incredible, managing to pummel the Super Android with a few good hits. But despite merging with the mystical power of the Dragon Balls, fatigue eventually takes its toll on Piccolo, and he's quickly outclassed by the Android's awesome power. Piccolo powers up immensely, making the whole area shake, performing "Light Grenade" putting his hands together in front of him as he charges a large yellow energy sphere in both hands. Then, he brings his hands forward and fires the energy sphere of massive size. Normally this would inflict insane damage to an opponent. But Seventeen once again absorbs the attack, tasting Piccolo's pure energy.
"What? He absorbed it." said Piccolo in disbelief.
Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Gotenks, and Super Eighteen, now fully restored, join Piccolo in the fight.
Remembering Seventeen's vulnerability from earlier, Goku forms a plan, "Piccolo I'm glad you're here, but this isn't the time for greetings. Listen, I've got an idea to beat this Android once and for all." he said.
"Really?" asked Piccolo.
"Yeah, I noticed it during our battle. He's unable to move while absorbing energy and that's where he's vulnerable." explained Goku. "If you guys can feed him energy long enough for me to get in close, I think I can take him out."
Everyone nods their heads acknowledging the plan. Gohan, Piccolo, Gotenks, and Super Eighteen raise their hands to the air, shooting an endless barrage of small ki-blasts, which Seventeen absorbs with great delight. With the plan in motion, Goku powers up to Super Saiyan 2, and activates Kaioken. He quickly attacks, concentrating all of his energy to a single fist, and punches a hole clean through the powerful android's abdomen, respectively crippling him. Now stripped of his ability to absorb energy, and blood dripping from his wound, Seventeen quickly blows Goku away with a gust of wind from his hand.
"Everyone! Let's combine our attacks and finish him off!" shouted Piccolo, noticing Super Seventeen is now susceptible to energy attacks.
Vegeta charges Final Flash, Gohan and Super Eighteen charge the Super Kamehameha, Piccolo prepares another Light Grenade. All releasing their attacks at once.
Seventeen retaliates, firing his most powerful attack: Electro Eclipse Bomb, and charges it, forming a decagon shape. He releases the massive attack, starting a beam struggle. It seemed the combined powers were still not enough to push back the giant black and grey sphere.
Gotenks decides to hatch a plan of his own. Now knowing the android is weakened, he fires three Galactic Donuts, trapping and constricting the android, making him completely helpless. And with his injury, he's unable to break free.
"Hey guys! I got 'em all lined up for you, now is the time to attack!" shouted Gotenks.
Goku thanks Gotenks for his assistance and rejoins the group below. He powers up once more, and adds a Super Kaioken Kamehameha to the struggle, deflecting the bomb at Seventeen, swallowing him whole. The powerful assassin is vaporized as the combined ki-wave shoots into space and explodes.
Eighteen took a short moment to reflect on all her memories with Seventeen. Tears rolled down her face at the passing of her brother, knowing that he chose this path, and he was too far gone to ever return. But she felt partly responsible in some way.
Meanwhile, aboard Janemba's ship orbiting the moon, Towa's bind with Super Seventeen is severed, revealing that his vitals have completely vanished, meaning he is indeed dead.
"Master, it's done," said Towa.
"Excellent, I knew the warriors of earth would prevail. Now it's time we introduced ourselves." replied Janemba.
Janemba prepares his army for a full invasion. One evil is dealt with, but another is on the horizon.
