Chapter 17: Android Apocalypse Part 3
This chapter consists mainly of Vegeta and Trunks while finishing up the battle between Tiencha and Android 13.
Last time on Beyond Infinite...
Up in the north, a titanic battle took place. The Z-fighters traded insults with the androids they encountered which led to mass conflict. While the Z-fighters could defeat Android's 14 and 15, Android 13 was much too powerful. He dominated Tien and Piccolo together and his strength doubled when his fellow androids were subjected to obliteration. Android 13 took his deceased companions parts, which made him a Super Android. The name didn't go without purpose, because his power doubled. Tien and Yamcha used the last resort and fused to attempt to defeat him. Will the fusion succeed or fail? More importantly, what of Trunks and Vegeta? Find out now!
Flash Back to earlier...
Trunks saw the city they were flying over suddenly get blown to smithereens. ''Oh no... There must be an android army or something because I have never seen this many androids before. Since there were multiple Super Saiyans that must have been picked up by Gero's scanners, he probably created a full scale army to insure that he wouldn't be defeated.''
Piccolo, being the most strategic of the pack, came up with the most plausible solution. ''The only chance is for us to split up. Trunks, you should go assist your father. Gohan, you and Bra should go tackle whatever caused that island to be destroyed while me, Tien, Krillin and Yamcha take on the trio of androids north of here.''
''Also, remember to not hold back when going against them and Gohan, are you okay?''
''Yeah, just a little scared. I've never been in a scenario like this one.''
Piccolo placed a hand on Gohan's shoulders. ''Gohan, use your fear and turn it into anger. Harness your anger and let it swell within you.''
Gohan nodded and replied to his mentor and friend. ''Okay I'll try Piccolo.''
Trunks, ready to put a stop to the androids in this timeline, prepared to take off. ''Okay we don't have that much time for talking. We gotta put an end to this once and for all!'' Trunks shot off to go assist his father in fighting the androids that he knows about.
Gohan and Bra flew down to the destroyed island that is right under them and the rest followed Piccolo up to the northern part of Earth.
What happened earlier before the fight started..
With Trunks and Vegeta...
Trunks had just arrived on the seen and was shocked to see his father impatiently waiting for Gero to come out of the door with the androids. ''Father! What're you doing? Is Gero on the other side of the door?''
''Of course he is, why would I be waiting here if he wasn't in there.'' Trunks narrowed his eyes at how carefree his father was towards the androids. ''Father, we have to stop these androids NOW before its too late.''
Vegeta merely scoffed and scolded his son. ''Quit complaining, where is your Saiyan pride. You should relish the challenge of these so called androids. You should be confident in your ability to defeat these toasters. You've been training have you not.''
Trunks nodded in approval at his fathers words. ''I've trained as hard as I could, but what if its not enough.''
Vegeta spat at the ground. ''Get rid of your petty self doubt and join me as we vanquish these washing machines. Today, you will get revenge for all that they have done to you in your timeline. I might even let you have the honor of fighting the androids.''
I've trained to hard during these three years to lose today. The androids will feel the wrath of me today. This timeline will not fall to them! Trunks raised his hand and shot a blast at the door which blew it off. It continued straight onto where the androids were standing and well, Gero was vanquished in the process due to being in the way. The androids however, escaped with a pod in hand.
The moment Trunks caught sight of those two was when his blood boiled and he snapped into anger. He clenched his fist and golden electricity derived from his aura. Vegeta crossed his arms and laughed at the sight of the pair.
''So these are the big, bad androids?''
''Yeah that's them and what the hell?! There's another android they're awakening. I can't let that happen!'' Trunks put both hands forward and shot off a blast to the androids. The androids saw it coming and put up a force field before the blast could impact. When the smoke cleared, the androids stood there unharmed.
''Wow, you only showed them how weak you were, that was pathetic.'' With that, the father and son duo flew down to the androids. Android 17 looked at Trunks with intrigue. ''Who are you?''
''I'm the person who's going to send you to the scrap heap!''
Android 17 then put on a smirk. ''So you want to play, eh? I'm up for some amusement, show me what ya got.'' Trunks glared before charging at 17 with full strength. 17 anticipated Trunks first blow and dodged and oncoming kick. Trunks slammed his fist forward but only hit air. Android 17 reappeared in front of Trunks.
''Boo!'' Trunks was startled and was hit in the torso, back to Vegeta. Trunks caught himself on the ground and glared again. Trunks was about to charge back when Vegeta placed a hand in front of him.
''No, this ones mine, you take on the girl.'' Vegeta flashed Super Saiyan and crossed his arms. He floated towards 17. ''So you want some too Vegeta.''
''I may have underestimated you at first, but I'm stronger then the boy. Prepare to be turned into an oven.''
Android 18 flew up to her twin brother. ''No 17, let me take on the darling little prince.'' Android 16, the newly awakened android, began to speak. ''No 18, Vegeta is slightly more powerful than you. Let 17 fight him.''
Android 18 turned back to 16. ''What about you?''
''The only person I'm going to fight is Goku.''
''Your that mission driven huh? Okay, I'm going to take on this guy right here.'' Trunks got up and cracked his knuckles. He then punched his palm with his other fist. ''Your time has come, Android!''
''What exactly made you want to kill us so badly in the first place?''
This only made Trunks anger swell even more. ''Don't you dare ask me that question. In my timeline, you and your brother were murderers. You took joy in spreading carnage, you took the lives of innocents. You killed nearly all of Earth's population. You killed all the Z-fighters, including Gohan and my MOTHER!'' For once, Android 18 was flabbergasted. Sure she was going to kill Goku, but she didn't think she and her brother would take it that far.
Back with Piccolo's group up North...
''TRI-KAMEHAMEHA!''
The neon green blast of genuine ki collided with an opposing force of artificial power. The Tri-Kamehameha was halting the deadly bomber in its tracks, but for how long? The strain was getting to Tiencha and he knew he had about 15 minutes left of fusion and 15 seconds left of energy.
Android 13 was just now warming up and Tiencha didn't even realize that. ''HA! You thought your sorry ass could survive. I'm only just beginning with my power.'' Android 13 exerted for artificial ki into his bomber, which completely shot through the opposing blast.
''Dammit.'' Tiencha cursed because he ran out of energy to exert anymore. The bomber slammed into Tiencha with enough force that he should have died. However, the fusion allowed them to cheat death. When the aftermath effects subsided, Tiencha was unconscious and had a glow surround him. Another instant later, Tiencha was no more. Tien and Yamcha separated from each other back to their original selves.
Android 13 just stood there and looked at everyone's unconscious forms, then he smirked with triumph. ''I have vanquished all of those fools, now all I have to do is kill Goku's sorry ass and I'll be able to cause as much carnage as I delight.''
Android 13 flew off to do as he pleased. First things first, hunt down Goku and murder the bastard. But that didn't mean he couldn't have any fun along the way.
Back to Trunks and Vegeta v.s Android 17 and 18...
Trunks dashed hard across the road to combat 18. His charge bringing winds up and he narrowed his eyes. 18 got into her own fighting stance and tried to anticipate Trunks next movements. But she couldn't, Trunks had vanished from thin air.
Trunks reappeared beside her and roundhouse kicked her in the side of the head. The blow knocking her off the road. Trunks flew down to where she was flying and raised his hands in close proximity with his chest. He charged ki into his two palms and firing a ki orb at her.
18 swiftly moved out of the way and retaliated by doing the same thing. Trunks slapped the ball of ki away into the hillside. Trunks caught 18 in the stomach and began punching her. With each punch he landed on her exposed torso, she yelped in pain a bit. The yelps of pain were music to his ears and he continued his onslaught on Android 18. ''This is what you get, ANDROID!'' Trunks brought both hands above his head and smashed Android 18 to the ground.
oO0Oo
Vegeta dodged 17's punch and replied with a punch of his own. His fist impacted 17's face and shoved the cowboy like android back. Vegeta rammed forward with a flurry of fists. This time, 17 anticipated all of the strikes and countered with a knee to Vegeta's gut.
Vegeta put his hand on his gut and backed up a bit. ''Are you ready to give up and tell me where Goku is, or do you want some more?'' Vegeta spat at the ground and smirked again. ''You think I would give up to a tin can like you? Don't make me laugh and lay off of Kakarrot. He's mine to destroy, not yours!''
17 made a hand gesture that signified come at me. Vegeta raised his hand and charged golden ki into his palm. Vegeta then shot off his gold white colored blast. Android 17 raised his right hand and fired off a counter beam. ''Photon Flash,''exclaimed 17 at the name of his attack.
The light lemon and white colored blasts impacted each other. The strength of each blast was equal so when the collision happened, the blasts exploded on contact. The explosion rocked the ground and blew both combatants back some.
Both of them were unscathed. There was a moment of silence, before the two enemies shot back off at each other, to resume the battle.
oO0Oo
Android 18 shot from her spot in the ground and rammed into a prepared Trunks. Trunks caught her with his hands and threw her off of him. Android 18 spread her arms out and halted her short flight. She saw Trunks relentlessly bull rushing her and she blocked his strike.
Trunks maneuvered around her guard by zipping behind her body. 18 turned around, only to be slammed in the face by Trunks fist. 18 was sent straight through the hill and made a hole deep within it. Trunks raised a hand and charged more ki into the palm. ''End of the line, 18!'' Trunks shot off the blast that was meant to kill Android 18. 18 blasted a whole out to the other side of the hill side. She scurried out of the way of the beam.
She felt a finger touch her back. She clenched her fists and caught Trunks in the face. Trunks took the blow and spit out some blood. Trunks turned back to look at the helpless android in front of him. ''Is that seriously all you got?''
Trunks smirked a bit more evil then normal and bashed 18 in her head. The blow sent her reeling to the ground. ''Why are you trying to kill me? I haven't done anything wrong since I've been awakened.'' Trunks only narrowed his eyes every time 18 tried to speak. The image of 18 holding his mother by the neck illustrated in his mind. ''Cut the Bullshit! You've done so much stuff in my time and I can't let it happen to this world either! Its the end of the road for you.''
oO0Oo
17 elbowed the Saiyan prince in the face and attempted to roundhouse kick Vegeta. Vegeta ducked under the leg and swept 17 off from under his feet. 17 jumped over Vegeta's leg, only to receive an uppercut to the jaw. Vegeta sprouted upwards, elbowing 17 in the torso. Vegeta then released a kiai wave of force to knock 17 away from him.
17 recovered with a back flip, and caught the rushing Vegeta with a jab to the cranium. Vegeta stumbled back a bit and the FTL combat resumed in the sky's. Vegeta zipped behind 17 and hammered him to the ground.
17 hit the ground on all fours and then vanished out of thin air. Vegeta got in a fighting stance and kept his senses alert. He had his eyes wondering from place to place. Suddenly, two balls of artificial ki came into his field of vision. He swiftly evaded the first one, but was hit with the second one. He was pushed back a bit and wince in a little pain. 17 reappeared from behind Vegeta and clobbered him down onto the road in front of a truck.
Vegeta coughed up a bit of dirt from the aftermath and put a smirk back on his face. ''Is that all you got, you blasted machine?'' Android 17 got into his own cocky smirk. ''Is that all you got, ego maniac?''
A vein made itself present on Vegeta's forehead. ''Prepare to be recycled, you piece of trash!'' Vegeta charged 17 and 17 charged back. They met in the sky's with light speed combat and shock waves everywhere.
oO0Oo
Trunks kicked 18 in the nose, which knocked her tumbling across a mountain street. Trunks then sent a jab her way while she was on the ground. 18 caught the fist and flung him across the ground.
18 got up and fired off her own Photon Flash at Trunks. Trunks flew upwards and bit and moved his hands in a rapid motion. A dark orange like flame ki attack appeared in between his palms. ''BURNING ATTACK!'' The two ki based attacks collided with one another. At first, 18 seemed to be winning until Trunks put more energy into the attack. The Burning attack plowed through 18's Photon Flash, which caused 18 zipped away from the ki attacks impact.
Trunks aura flared and he shot off to where 18 was going. 18 zipped to through a bundle of trees and tried to get away from Trunks grasp. She thought she was at a good place to stop, but she was unprepared for Trunks kick to the head.
18 was shot through a bunch of trees and knocked them all over. 18 got up but was met with a pissed off Trunks palm a few inches away from her face. ''Any last words, murderer,'' Trunks said with a low tone.
18 was rushed with a sensation she never thought she would feel before, fear. ''Me and 17 hadn't done anything wrong, give us a chance to make the world better, please-'' Trunks cut her off, ''SHUT UP! You talk about making the world better huh? Well if you want to make the world better, then just die!'' Golden energy rushed to the palm of Trunks as he prepared to fire off the killing blow to the helpless, innocent android.
Suddenly, the silent android 16 jumped onto the fray. He moved in front of 18 to prevent her from being killed. ''I can't allow you to kill 18.'' Trunks narrowed his eyes at 16 then. ''Get out of the way, android! I'll dismantle you next.'' 16 proceeded to stay where he was.
From on the ground, 18 began to speak softly. ''16? I never thought you'd come.'' Trunks got impatient and fired off the blast at 16 instead. However, 16 did what was least expected. He walked straight through the blast like it was nothing. When he reached Trunks hand, Trunks jumped up and tried to smash him in the face.
16 caught Trunks fist and spoke a warning to Trunks. ''I will used enough force to subdue you if you don't stop trying to annihilate 18.'' Trunks only narrowed his eyes even more. Nothing was going to stop him from extracting revenge. 16 then vanished again and knocked Trunks out with a swift strike in the back of the head.
Trunks stood still for a moment, not registering the shock and pain of the blow, before losing his Super Saiyan hair. Trunks fell forward, and went unconscious. ''Thanks 16.'' 16 nodded in approval and flew off to help 17 against Vegeta.
oO0Oo
17 dodged most of the blows from Vegeta's onslaught. However, a few blows got through his defenses and made him fly through an oncoming truck. The truck driver tried to evade the speeding android, but the android went straight through the truck.
Vegeta followed 17 and fired off a couple of ki spheres. 17 dodged threw of them and deflected the third. Vegeta flew down towards 17 and clashed with his fist. 17 tried to elbow Vegeta, but Vegeta blocked it and spent off of the failed strike. Vegeta jabbed 17 in the cranium, which knocked him to the ground surface.
Vegeta pointed at the android on the ground. ''What's wrong kid? Can't take on a burnt out prince. Your damn right you can't. Prepare to get terminated like your sister!'' Vegeta rose his right hand and pulled back. He then thrust his arm forward, releasing the devastating attack.
''BIG BANG ATTACK!'' The attack was on the mark, as it created a big crater surrounding 17. When the smoke cleared, 17 was left unscathed. He put up his force field just in time to avoid the big bang.
17 decided to reply with an attack of his own. ''PHOTON FLASH!'' His attack was on the mark, and it knocked Vegeta out of the sky. He was able to connect with Vegeta, because Vegeta was a little tired from releasing his power consistently.
17 zipped over to where Vegeta was and found him know where to be seen. ''Where are you, Vegeta?'' Android 17 was now serious, because he knew Vegeta had the power to kill him at any instant. Suddenly, a mail stream of ki attacks came from everywhere in the surrounding trees. Vegeta was also hidden beneath the undergrowth. 17 raised his force field and kept it raised so that he wouldn't be harmed.
When he let his force field down, he thought that the onslaught of random ki attacks was over. Maybe Vegeta ran away? Where is he? But he should have known that the prince of all Saiyans never backs down from a fight.
Vegeta appeared out of know where and landed a devastating blow to 17's cranium, knocking him down and making his head throb in pain. Vegeta grabbed 17's leg with one arm while still charging his new attack in his right palm. Vegeta slammed 17 on the ground face first, and then kicked to a tree.
17 had his back against the tree and before he could move, Vegeta put ki rings over his arms and legs. ''Your time had come, prepare to join other machines in the junk yard! Say hello to my FINAL SHI-,'' Vegeta was hit in the back of the head with an extremely powerful blow to the back of his head.
Vegeta lost his Super Saiyan form and fell to the ground unconscious. Android 17 broke from his ki rings by pushing his arms and legs forward from off of the tree. ''Thanks 16, I was about to be a goner. Now we need to get out of here while we can. Vegeta's gonna be furious and throw a tantrum when he wakes up.''
16 said nothing as the pair met up with 18. ''So what's the plan now, 17?''
''We still look for Goku.''
''But we can't 17. We need to prove to Trunks that we're not the murderers that he says was from his time. We should try to help this planet against the other androids.''
''Well, they are trying to get to Goku before we do, so I guess its a race. Fine, we'll take down the competition, then we hunt down Goku.''
16 jumped in on the conversation. ''I'm only programmed to fight Goku.''
''Well we have a plan now, but I think we should forget killing Goku,''stated 18 who remembered the near death experience she just had with Trunks, the avenger from the future.
''We must kill Goku though, its in our programming.''
''Fine, whatever,'' shrugged 18.
''So its settled, now lets get out of here. We're going to show the world who the number one androids are,'' finalized 17.
Wallah, I know this was a rather short chapter, 4K words but this chapter was only supposed to be about Trunks and Vegeta's experience. Now that tis is out of the way, i can focus on a certain villain and other things. Next chapter will be much longer than this so stay tuned for chapter 18. The ring things that were subduing 17 was the same things that pinned Goku against a rocky hill, when Vegeta was a Majin.

Review Section:
C: So you finally crank out the fusion dance. Interesting, I also like that you are trying to get the humans up to par with the Saiyan strength. I wonder if Tiencha will be able to pull it off. I'll see you in the next chapter.
A: Thank you, and your wonder has been quenched as Tiencha was not able to pull it off. Have a happy New Year!
C: This is getting so interesting. by the way are you making Teen Gohan going to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 in the future?
A: I can't answer that question. It depends on if Gohan dies during the Cell games or not. If Gohan does die, perhaps. If he doesn't die, then probably not. Have a happy New Year!
C: Awesome job
A: Thank you as always for your continued support. Have a happy New Year!
C: Very good so far, I would have partially preffered to have watched this instead of the original anime. My opinion of the Gohan pairings is why not have a little drama spring up. Introduce the Tier Harribel style cell. Chick and have Gohan sorta go between her and Videl. It would add a little extra to the DBZ action focus giving it more depth. I see your story going for something original in a sense. Drama and emotion in this story will make it different.
A: Thank you for preferring my version over the anime and the Tier Harribel thing didn't work out. The poll on my profile was going against her and plus I don't like using OC's. However, the drama thing will still happen. Gohan will go between Videl, a certain girl with the name of a fruit, or a girl with the name of a school utensil. Thank you for complimenting my originality, and drama plus emotion will be added to the story. Only at a later time period, will the struggle happen. Have a happy New Year!
Awesome Request: This is supposed to be for Chapter 16, but Fanfiction won't let me post it because I already made a review. Anyways, a request from me, would be to have a huge mini-arc in between the 7 years of peace just to spruce things up and give Gohan a really good reason to train (assuming he does). I also don't think Gohan should be paired up with an OC that's a character from Bleach. I mean, Gohan and Videl is common, but this isn't a high school fic so it won't be as repetitive. OC's are something that many people hate to do and I'm one of them and I know you're too. OC's just bring no value to a story, just to add extra space. Only make an OC if its apart of the plot or if you HAVE to. That's all, but its your story. XD
A: Thank you for the request, and there is definitely going to be a mini-arc during the seven year time skip. I know, I can't have Gohan training just to get stronger. He's not full saiyan, so he doesn't have that true excitement for fighting. True, he will train, but I'll give him a purpose alright. Count on it. I agree with you, OC's are horrible for a story. They really do bring no value. I only make OC's when I have to and mostly iif I do, they are used to waste time and most likely never make an appearance ever again. Thank you for leaving a suggestion and your support! Have a happy New Year!
I'D LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
