Krillin felt his hands start to tingle from being tied up with duct tape for so long. He could feel the tips of his fingers began to numb. He tried moving his fingers trying to get some feeling back in them.

"Hey!" 17's sharp voice came from the other side of the room causing Krillin to flinch. "No moving from the hostage over there."

"Oh, lighten up, 17. It's not like he actually has a chance of escaping with all of us in the room. He's just a human." 18 defended. "I'm sure we've scared him enough into not telling anybody he saw us, so why don't we just let him go? He's just a waste of space here."

Krillin wasn't sure if 18 was defending him, or not, but either way he was grateful for her interference. With her help, they might decide to release him after all!

"We don't know that, 18." 17 snapped back at her. He turned to Krillin, glaring at him as if he'd explode on the spot if he stared hard enough. "Plus, I can't help, but feel like I've seen him somewhere before. And you know as well as I do, we can't afford the chance of our location getting out. Especially right now.

18 raised a brow, as she walked over Krillin's way with her arms crossed. Once close enough, she leaned down, so that she could have a closer look at him, causing. Him to squirm in his seat, trying to avoid eye-contact with her. "Now that you mention it, he does look sort of familiar."

Krillin nervously laughed. "You know, I get that a lot. The bald head, and all. I look like every other bald guy out there!" He let out another fake chuckle, hoping they'd buy it. He couldn't let them figure out he had connections with Lady Anonymous, or even Goku for that matter. They'd never let him go if they found out the truth. They might even kill him if they even thought he might know the two of them more than the average citizen.

Damn Goku! Why did he have to dress up like a stupid looking hero, and fight along side Lady Anonymous! Why did he even have that stupid crush on her? If it wasn't for that, he probably would have never come into contact with Lady Anonymous. If he ever gets out of this place alive, the first thing he's going to do is kill Goku!

18 gripped his chin to stop his movement, forcing him to look at her. She stared instantly back at him, until she blinked in surprise. "Now I remember..."

Krillin gulped. It was all over now.

"You're the guy I danced with at that part we crashed." 18 said. She then turned back to her brother. "That's probably where you seen him from, 17. See? Just a regular human. Now get rid of him already." She ordered, as she turned to leave.

"Not so fast." 17 called out. "If he's such a normal guy, how did he get into that exclusive party? There's no way a regular teenage boy would be able to get into something like that. Not unless he was rich, and something tells me," 17 looked Krillin up in down. "that isn't it."

18 let out an annoyed sigh. "I don't know, why don't you try asking him directly yourself?" She suggested.

Krillin tenses up when he noticed he had all eyes on him, as they waited for his answer. Even 16 who, until now, had not even had his open, and had chosen to sit in a corner of the room while they talked.

Great. How was he suppose to answer that one? Should he try lying, and pretend he was actually filthy rich? No. they'd never buy that. 17 had made it clear what he thought about that matter.

"Well?" 18 prompted. "Spit it out already."

Krillin felt his spine straighten at her commanding tone. It reminded him of his mother's yell when she asked him to clean his room. "M-My friend. She was able to get me in because of her connections. I just went for the free food and the ladies." He was trying to be as vague as possible.

"How do we know he's not lying?" 17 questioned.

"I believe him, brother. He shows no sign of lying." 16 said, from the other side of the room.

"Fine, say he's telling the truth, are we suppose to just let him walk out of here? We don't have that option. Not when there's a chance he might run to the police. Especially now of all times." 17 said, turning to face his siblings.

Meanwhile,Krillin stayed watching the scene play in front of him. There wasn't much he could do currently, but stay quiet. He'd just have to wait to see what they decided to do with him. The best outcome was if they decided to just let him go, but the way things were going, that wasn't going to happen.

If they decided to kill him though he'd have no choice, but to reveal his true strength. If all three were to attack him at the same time, he'd be done for, but maybe if he's fast enough, they'd be to shock to do anything until he was at least already to far for them to catch up.

"We could just kill him?" 18 suggested, making Krillin tense up as he prepared himself to put his plan in action. "But that might bring too much attention to us."

17 chose not to reply to her as he sat down next to 16. There was a moment of silence, giving Krillin the chance to speak up. "What are you guys doing here anyways?"

"Should we be heading home, right now?" 18 sarcastically replied.

"I mean," Krillin started. "What are you guys still doing in this city? Don't you guys usually move from city to city, stealing a bunch of things? I assumed you guys had already left. The news hasn't mentioned you guys in awhile."

"We took a break." 17 dryly answered.

18 pushed her hair back causing the sleeve of her shirt to rise, revealing an injury wrapped in bandages. Raising a brow, Krillin turned to 17, and observed signs of cuts and bruises around his face. 16 was the only one who looked free of injury.

"Did you guys get hurt?"

"Do you realize what kind of position you're in right now?"17 snapped. "If I were you, I would-"

"They were injured in a fight." 16 answered, receiving a shocked expression from both 17 and 18.

"Is that why you guys haven't moved to a different city yet?" Krillin hesitantly asked. He didn't want to screw his chances on leaving peacefully, but he was also curious about a couple of things.

"That is part of the reason." 16 told him. "This city also provides protection from something we are running from."

"16! What are you-" 17 started, but was interrupted by 16 holding his hand up.

"Krillin, was it?" 16 questioned, receiving a slight nod from him. "There's a reason we move from city to city. It is... to get away from our father. The man who created us."

17 turned to 18 in bewilderment, only to receive a similar expression across her face. They weren't sure what 16 was planning, but they knew 16's judgement was usually right. Even if Krillin turned out to be untrustworthy, they always had the option of killing him.

"Created you guys?" Krillin repeated. He wasn't wrong, but the way he phrased it was a little weird.

"Yes, created. 17, 18, and I were once all normal humans. Our father is the one who changed us into what we are today." 16 explained. "We were made to be stronger, faster, and tougher than any normal human can ever hope to be. This was all done, so we could follow our father's orders, and help him as much as we were capable of doing. If he was met with any kind of defiance from anybody, we were the ones to take care of it. If he wanted something, we got it for him. All for power."

"You're talking as if you guys aren't even human?" Krillin pointed out, in confusion. "But that's impossible, right? I mean, you guys look like normal humans to me..." he was suddenly reminded of his two friends special heritage."Unless you guys are some kind of alien species."

"We are not aliens." 16 quickly reassured. "But you are right on us not being fully human. We are known as Androids."

"As in... robots?" Krillin hesitantly replied.

"Not exactly. You see, we started off as normal human beings just like you, but our father modified us with mechanical elements to make us into what we are today. Androids.

"I don't get it. It looks like you guys enjoy being Androids. So what's the problem? And that still doesn't explain why you guys move around a lot." Krillin said, with a raised brow.

"He's getting to that, you idiot." 18 said from the side.

Krillin decided it was probably better to save the question till after 16 was done with his story. He didn't want to provoke 18's wrath again.

"It all started when father began to act different towards us. When we failed a task, given to us, he became more enraged with us than usual. Then he began to act secretive towards certain projects he was working on. It came to a point where we began to feel anxious." 16 explained. "After an argument between him and 17, he finally revealed what he had been working on this whole time. It was something he used to keep us... from straying."

"You see, our father installed a bomb inside each of us. The purpose of this bomb was to allow us to self-destruct if we were ever caught by an enemy. It was something only we had the power to activate. Father was worried of the possibility of one of us turning against him, so he created a control that could trigger the bomb within us," 16 continued. "With one press of that button, it would end our very existence. Because of that, we had no choice, but to follow all of his orders, without even a peep of protest. We had almost give up hope, until we came across a paper with blue prints of the control that revealed a flaw it had."

"The remote could only be used in a certain range." 18 finished for him. "The first opportunity we had, we got the hell out of there, and never looked back."

"Except, our father did not leave it at that. No matter where we went, he was never too far away. Although he tries to conceal it, I can feel his energy whenever he's close enough. For some reason though I'm the only one that can feel it." 16 said. "I'm positive though that whatever he is using to track us down, it's only giving him a rough location of where we're at. So once he gets close enough, we leave."

Krillin took a moment to fully absorb the information given to him. There was still one thing that didn't make sense to him. "So why do you guys make a big commotion every time you guys enter a new city? I mean you guys are known across cities for stealing, and terrorizing people. Why do that?"

"Hey, it's not like we have a choice." 18 spat out. "How else are we suppose to get things? It's not like we can live our lives like normal humans. Are we just suppose to hide like rats?" She shouted in defense. "Besides, it doesn't matter how quiet, or loud we are, he'll find us either way. Might as well have some fun with it."

Although Krillin felt a twinge of sympathy for their situation, he was pretty sure they could have still lived their lives without hurting and scaring people. "What about now? How come you guys haven't move to the next city yet? Has your father not shown up yet?"

There was a slight pause before 17 spoke up, "16 felt him a couple weeks ago." He revealed.

"Weeks?" Krillin exclaimed. "I don't get it, if he's that dangerous to you guys, why have you left the city yet?"

"West City isn't a normal city. It has something that no other city has." 16 answered.

Krillin raised a brow. He thought West City was a pretty normal place. It did have a high rate crime, but Lady Anonymous took care of... "Lady Anonymous..." he whispered to himself in realization.

"Yes, you guys have Lady Anonymous in this city, and because of that we finally found a way to be free from our father's torment." 16 answered.

"How does Lady Anonymous keep your father from coming to this city?" Krillin asked.

"He's a coward." 17 answered. "He might want to use us again, but with Lady Anonymous being here, he's not willing to send one of the other Androids after us. It's too risky for him. That's also why we need her help."

"Her help?" Krillin repeated in confusion. "You guys fought her that time at the party, and I'm pretty sure a couple times after that too. I don't think she'd be so willing to help you guys out after that. And even if she decided to help you guys, what could she possibly do to get you guys out of the situation your in right now?"

"I understand how it might look, but we were just testing her abilities at the party. I admit, the times after that might have gone a little bit overboard," 16 pinned 17 and 18 with a look. "But we had to make sure she was strong enough to help us."

"Lady Anonymous is strong, but I don't think she'd be much help against your father. If you guys weren't able to stand up against him, what makes you think she be able to?" Krillin pointed out.

"Our father is a lot less stronger than us. If we were up against him in a fair fight, we could have easily killed him a long time ago, but this isn't a fair fight. We can't do anything to him so long as he has the remote." 17 replied. "Lady Anonymous might be weaker than us, but she's stronger than our father. As long as we take care of the other nuisances, she'd be able to defeat him."

"Nuisances? What do you mean by that?" Krillin suspiciously asked.

"You don't think we're the only Androids he made, do you?" 18 questioned.

He had actually did think they were the only ones, but now that he thought about it, if their father was as power hungry as they said, and he had the abilities to make more Androids, he'd probably make hundreds of them. Shouldn't there be some kind of limit to this kind of thing?

"By his side, he has three other Androids." 16 said. "14 and 15, are the two that carry out most of his orders. They're sent out for most things that require the use of ki. Compared to the three of us though those two are a lot more weaker, strength wise. The third one, Android 13, he's a different story."

"Are you saying he's stronger than you guys?" Krillin questioned.

"That's 16's theory on it." 17 cut in. "We've never actually got the chance to see this guy in action since we left. We don't know how strong he is, but 16 seems to think because he's a newer model, he should be stronger than us. I think it's bullshit though. Our father was worried we would one day betray him, he'd never make another Android that had the potential to kill him, like us. That coward isn't brave enough to do something like that again."

"Either way, our father makes certain Android 13 is always by his side. He always keeps the strongest Android by his side. Before him, it was me." 16 proclaimed. "This is so no one ever catches him off guard and alone. Even if we made a plan to separate the other two Androids away from him, we'd still have Android 13 to deal with. Even if we'd be able to convince Lady Anonymous to help us, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to take care of them." 16 sighed, taking a seat back on the floor.

Krillin had to admit, even though these guys were currently in the middle of holding him hostage, he still felt bad for them. Despite the issues they had, he was sure there was still hope for them. Maybe if they did somehow manage to free themselves from their situation with their father, they'd actually even start to become better people...?

Who was he kidding! If he helped them get over this dilemmas of theirs, they'd have nothing holding them back from causing even more havoc!

Plus, even if he thought there might be a tiny chance of them changing if he did end up help them, it wasn't like he could actually be much help. He wasn't a normal human, but he was crazy strong either. The ones that could really help the, were Goku, Vegeta, and Lady Anonymous. Sure, he had a connection with all of them, but it's not like they'd actually listen to what he had to say once he uttered the names 17, 18, and 16.

Vegeta would blast him just for mentioning it!

As he tried to weigh in every possibility, something popped into his head. "Uh," he tried, easily gaining their attention. "This father you keep mentioning, who is he anyways? He must be some kind of well known inventor, right?"

Krillin felt the atmosphere suddenly shift, as the three criminals in front of him grew silent. He quickly tried to fix it, not wanting to completely end his chances of leaving this place free and uninjured. "Err- I mean, n-not that you need to t-tell me, or anything. What I mean to say is-"

"He goes by the name Dr. Gero." 18 answered him, saving Krillin from spazzing out. "He's well known in the science world, but I doubt someone like you would know about him. He faked his death a long time ago though so he's presumed dead by the public."

Although Krillin wanted to blurt out that she was wrong, he held back from revealing that he did in fact know about Dr. Gero, thanks to Bulma. She had mentioned his death to them awhile back, but he didn't know much more about him apart from that.

So, Dr. Gero was the one chasing after them? Something about that was setting alarms off in his head. According to them, Dr. Gero always stays away from the danger, with Android 13 constantly guarding him. He then sends his other two Androids, 14 and 15, to do his dirty work for him.

Goku had mentioned that there were two people working together who kidnapped Bulma. Not to mention, they both knew how to use ki. That in itself was already suspicious.

Goku said he finished off one of them, the other one that Lady Anonymous was fighting kidnapped Bulma, who had somehow ran into both of them. Could they be the two Androids that were working for Dr. Gero?

Goku had also said that the guy he was fighting, told him they were looking for something they 'lost'. It couldn't be a coincidence that they were looking in an area so close to 16, 17, and 18's hideout, right? If his theory was right though what would they want with Bulma?

There was the possibility that they somehow found out who she was. Maybe they needed money, or something only the briefs could get them. After all they had a lot of connection in Japan. Either way, he just hoped the others got to Bulma already. It's already been hours since he was first captured. It was too late for him to do anything useful for them now.

16 stood up, interrupting his thoughts. "Do you two feel that?" He asked with his eyes close, and his brows knitted in concentration. "There are two big power levels nearby."

"I can feel it too." 17 replied.

"What do we do? What if it's 14 and 15?" 18 said.

"There's no question about it, it has to be those two. No other person around would ha e a ki level that high." 17 pointed out. He then turned back to 16, looking as lost as 18 was.

"There's no choice, we must stay quiet and hope they don't find us." 16 decided.

Krillin tensed up. He knew what that meant. This was his only chance to escape. It was a gamble, but it was the only opportunity he had. He still wasn't sure if he even wanted to help them.

Tightening his muscles, he used enough strength to break apart the restraints. The noise of the rope ripping was enough to attract the Androids attention.

"What the hell?" 17 shouted.

"I thought you said he would be able to break out of those ropes, 17?" 18 angrily asked.

"He shouldn't be able to!" 17 shouted back, feeling just as frustrated by the situation. "You just made a big mistake, kid. You should have just stayed put." He threatened as he stalked towards Krillin.

"You're injured." Krillin warned. Just for extra measure, he formed an energy ball in one hand. "And I don't think you guys want to bring any attention to this place right now." He hoped they didn't notice his hands shaking.

"Who the hell are you?" 18 asked in disbelief.

"It doesn't matter who he is." 17 said through clenched teeth. "We're killing him here and now. He knows too much."

"Hold on brother. If he knows about ki, there's no way we'd be able to kill him without bringing attention to ourselves. We can't do anything stupid." 16 reasoned.

"Don't you think it'd be stupid if we let him go? We're screwed either way, at least if I kill him now, I'd die satisfied." 17 said.

"Look," Krillin said loud enough to get the attention back on him. "I know you guys are shock, and you probably won't believe anything I say right now-"

"We won't. So don't waste your breath."

"-but you don't have a choice right now." Krillin reminded them. "Listen, I'm going to get out of her either way. You two are too injured to fight, so the odds are on me. Instead of going through a pointless fight, I think it'd be better if you guys just let me go. If... If you do that, then... I'll help you guys with the thing with your father!" Krillin managed to blurt out before losing his nerve.

"Are you an idiot! Like we'd ever-" 17 started.

"And how would you help us?" 18 asked.

Krillin knew he now had 18 and 16's attention. His situation was starting to look better. He just hoped 16 and 18 will be enough to convince 17 to let him go. "You guys said you need Lady Anonymous's help. I know of way to contact her." He couldn't bring himself to say he actually knew her as an acquaintance. He wasn't sure if that would backfire on him, and they'd decide to hold him as a hostage forever.

"I don't know if she'll agree to it, but I can try convincing her to help." Krillin quieted down, staring at the floor, uncertain if he should say the rest. He was already too deep in though. "And if that doesn't work, I think there's another way to solve your problem..."

"Enough with the suspense- what is it?" 18 demanded.

"There's a tournament going on soon. I'm not entirely sure if it'll help, but the main prize is a million zeni. Not only that, but the winner also gets to request something from the capsule corporation. I-If Dr. Briefs can figure out a way to remove the bomb from inside your bodies, you can use the money to start new lives. Maybe even stop being criminals." Krillin suggested.

Krillin decided to take their silence as a good sign. "I'll try getting into contact with Lady Anonymous meanwhile. Don't do anything that will get you guys into trouble with the law, at least not until after the tournament. I doubt it'd help me with trying to get Lady Anonymous's help with this." Krillin advised, as he made his way to one of the windows. With one final look, he made his way out of the building. He just hoped his theory on who those two ki signals belonged to was right, or he was in even bigger trouble.

"Goku," Chi-Chi grumbled. "I know you're trying to help Vegeta out by letting him follow us, but I don't think it's such a good idea. I know you guys are strong, but he doesn't know how to properly deal with these kind of situations. What if he endangers an innocent bystander?"

"How can he be following us, if he's the one ahead?" Goku questioned as he looked around for a sign of Vegeta. He must have really been flying quick if they lost him this easily. "Besides, we're deep in the mountains right now. I doubt you'd find anyone all the way out here."

Chi-Chi let out a puff of air, blowing her bangs up in the process. "Does Vegeta even know where he's going? Those guys could be anywhere right now. How does he know he's heading towards the right direction?"

Goku squinted, as he finally caught side of Vegeta flying ahead of them. "I don't know, let's find out." He tightened his hold on Chi-Chi and picked his speed up enough to catch up to Vegeta.

Vegeta didn't even bother sparing a glance at them, and instead chose to keep his eyes on the destination ahead. "What are you two still doing here. I'll save Bulma on my own."

The nerve of... "You took the words right out of my mouth. Why don't you leave the saving to the actual professionals?"

Vegeta took a moment to look back at her, before turning back. "Some professional, you can't even fly. If it wasn't for Kakarot lugging your ass around all day, you'd still be back in West City."

Chi-Chi felt her mouth drop in response. It was bringing back to when she first met Vegeta. She let out a breath calming herself down. Luckily, thanks to her past experience with, she knew just how to handle Vegeta now.

"Look, I know you want to find Bulma, but flying around with no direction isn't going to get you anywhere. It's just gonna waste time. Why don't we try calling your friend Krillin, and see how his search is going? He should be done checking West City by now. We'll have him check another place, and then me and Goku will look around another place we haven't checked yet, and you can-"

Before she could finish talking, Vegeta suddenly stopped flying, and let himself drop to the ground. Turning to Goku for some kind of answer, he just shrugged before following Vegeta's lead and lowered them to the ground.

"If you two insist on following me around, you'll listen to what I say." Vegeta ordered. "I can't have you two getting in the way of Bulma's rescue."

Chi-Chi pinched the bridge of her nose, and squeezed her eyes shut, trying to resist the urge to smack Vegeta with everything she had. This is why he stopped them? "Are you serious? Instead of wasting time arguing, shouldn't we be trying to find out where they took Bulma? If we don't find her soon, she really could be in trouble."

"Why do you even care so much?" Vegeta questioned.

Chi-Chi pulled back. "What do you mean? It's in my job description to care for everybody's safety." She answered.

Vegeta stared at her, before turning around, pointing at something in the distance. "See that cave over there? That's probably where she's being held at."

Chi-Chi followed his finger, and saw there was in fact a cave in that direction. Harmless looking from this distance. "How did you..." she trailed off.

"We trained in these mountains, some time ago. We stopped coming here when Raditz said he felt strong power levels sometimes passing through here. He didn't want us getting mixed into something unnecessary, so he told us to stay away from this place." Vegeta explained. "I'm willing to be it's the same people who kidnapped Bulma."

Chi-Chi turned to Goku, waiting for him to confirm Vegeta's statement, except he looked as loss as she was. "I don't remember training here?" He said.

"That's cause you have the memory of a gold fish! We don't have time for this, so listen up. Kakarot, you and me will blast the door open. There's a chance Bulma might be behind it, so use only enough power to blast the door down." He then turned to Chi-Chi. "You can stay behind us until it's time to fight."

"Sounds like a plan." Goku said with a smirk. He turned to Vegeta as they nodded at each other, before turning to Chi-Chi to nod at her too.

Letting out a small huff of irritation, she climbed back on Goku anyway. As much as she hated it, Vegeta was getting results. She had no choice, but to listen to him... for now at least.

The three of them flew up the mountains until they were at the entrance of the cave. Now having a closer look at it, Chi-Chi saw that the cave wasn't so innocent looking, up close. Deeper in the entrance, was a large steel door.

"Ready?" Goku asked Vegeta, as they both prepared their attacks. Standing behind the two, Chi-Chi took the time to really admire the beauty of the ki balls forming in their hands. The beauty of it was a lot more appreciated, when she wasn't standing in front of the powerful attack.

"Now!" Vegeta yelled as they simultaneously released their attack.

Chi-Chi watched the crash into the huge metal doors. She was pretty sure she heard them crash onto the ground, but it was hard to confirm since smoke was currently obscuring her vision. She brought her gloved hand to her mouth, coughing into it. Luckily, her visor was doing a good job of protecting her eyes from the smoke.

"Bulma!" She heard Vegeta shout from somewhere in front of her.

Despite her better judgment wanting to wait it out for the smoke to clear, she went in head first, following Vegeta deeper inside the hideout. She had lost sight of Goku, so she was pretty sure he had also went on ahead.

The first thing she spotted was an unconscious Bulma being held up by the giant man with the braid she was fighting with earlier. Off on the other side was a guy with white hair that came down to his neck, topped off with a trucker hat on his head.

"What the hell?" The white-haired man yelled.

Vegeta wasted no time going after the one holding Bulma. Since he was unprepared for Vegeta to suddenly attack him, Vegeta was able to easily hit him with enough force to send him flying. Vegeta managed to snatch Bulma, pulling her away from being dragged along with that guy.

The white-haired man faltered a bit, in shock, before he seemed to realize what was happening. He set his eyes for Vegeta, putting his arm forward, preparing to sent a blast towards the two.

Goku placed himself in front of Vegeta, deflecting the attack before it reached him and Bulma. He then used his leg to kick the white-haired man in the gut, sending him away with the other one.

Thanks to the two enemies crashing into the other side of the cave, and the energy blast hitting the roof of the cave, there was once again more smoke covering the area. Bits of rock were falling from the top, worrying Chi-Chi.

"This place is to small! We need to get Bulma out of here, before she gets hurt. Me and Vegeta will handle these two, you take Bulma and get out of here!" Goku ordered her.

Pushing her feelings of pride down, she listened to Goku, and pulled Bulma away from Vegeta, placing her on her back. Bulma was her top priority right now. Making sure her friend was securely on her back, she moved to the exit.

Well, she tried to at least. A large ball of ki came in alarming speed toward her and Bulma causing her to jump out of the way. She landed on the ground with her friend safely falling on top of her. She had suffered scrapes on her arms, and chin, but as long as Bulma was okay, so was she.

"Ch-Lady Anonymous!" Goku shouted, barely catching himself from revealing her name to Vegeta and the enemies.

"W-We're fine!" She reassured. Her heart was still racing from the sudden adrenaline that flooded in her.

"You're faster on your feet than I thought, girl." The white-haired man said with a smirk. "Next time might not be so lucky though. Why not try handing over the extra baggage on your back there? I might consider letting you go."

Before Chi-Chi had a chance to reject his offer, Vegeta flew towards him. Instead of getting into some kind of defensive stance, their enemy chose to suspiciously stay still.

"Vegeta! Stop!" Chi-Chi tried shouting out. She had been a second too late though. From the back of the cave, a blue beam, pierced through the smoke, and hit Vegeta on the floor, knocking him down.

Vegeta held onto his now bleeding shoulder, his face twisted in pain. He had manage to muffle most of the sounds of agony escaping him, but anyone walking into this scene could easily tell he was in a lot of pain right now.

"Vegeta!" Goku shouted. "Shit!" He cursed. His hands were balled up in a tight fist. He even had an unusual deep scowl set in his features. More than though he was staring look nervous.

In turn, Chi-Chi began to feel anxious. Her stomach was in knots, just from the fact that Goku was starting to feel nervous.

The white-haired man turned behind him. "Nice work, Android 14."

Chi-Chi's brows knitted in confusion. Android 14?

The man with the long braid stepped away from the smoke, walking up to the white-haired man. "13, we should finish them off quickly, before he gets here."

Chi-Chi the one, she now knew as Android 14, said, 'he'. They had another person coming here? Great. As if things couldn't get worse for them.

Even more troubling, why we're both of these guys named after numbers? It couldn't be a coincidence that her other enemies were also named after numbers.

13 let out a sigh, "I was hoping for a good fight, but I guess your right. If the boss-man comes here, and finds us in the middle of a fight, it won't be good." He scratched his head, looking slightly annoyed. "You deal with the spiky-haired one still standing, and I'll take care of the other two."

Goku and Chi-Chi tensed up, as they prepared themselves to defend against any attack thrown at them. Even Vegeta, pulled himself off the ground, although Chi-Chi noticed he was struggling a bit. She wasn't sure how they felt, but she was beginning to feel like a caged animal backed up against a corner.

"Vegeta, are you good?" Goku asked, not taking his eyes off 14 and 13.

"Do you even have to ask?" Vegeta said, as he turned to spit on the ground. Chi-Chi took notice of the blood now splattered on the ground.

She probably would of brought his tough guy act more, if he wasn't practically dripping in sweat, and breathing harder than normal.

"Good." Goku stated. "Lady Anonymous, you protect Bulma."

Chi-Chi nodded despite knowing Goku's attention was completely on the enemies ahead of him. She didn't exactly enjoy having to be the one to stand down, but she knew the situation called for it. She just hoped Goku and Vegeta were enough to take care of them, without her having to abandon Bulma and join the fight herself.

She watched in amazement as both Goku and Vegeta let out a yell as the wind began to whip around them. She felt the ground from beneath her start to shake just from the sheer power of their power-up. There was no doubt that their enemies seem to have the upper hand in the situation, but Chi-Chi couldn't help, but feel a bubble of hope within her.

At that time, she never expected their fight to take the turn it did.

Omg was this the most difficult and frustrating thing I've ever had to go through. It's like the whole universe was against me for trying to get this Chapter up. Okay, so, I know I haven't seen you guys since, November, and it is now, January, but I'm glad I finally got this chapter out.

The first thing that stopped me was a cold, the my computer started acting up, that took awhile to get over. After that I finally got an alternative way to get this chapter up without having to use my computer, but then I got the flu! Add in writers block here and there, and let me tell you- it was a bitch to get this finished, but I did! Except I had to rewrite the whole thing word for word and transfer the stuff I have on my laptop to the current iPad I am using right now. That took like two days- around 5 hours in all. The only upside to that is it forced me to edit this chapter like 3 times over. After that difficult trial, fan fiction starting acting up on me! I swear I almost cried. Anyways, that's over now, and I can finally put this chapter up. Hopefully this method gets easier over time, and I start getting Chapter up every 10 days again. Also since I'm writing with an iPad now, I'm afraid there might be some other mistakes in my writing thanks to autocorrect and other things that come with using an iPad. Sorry about that!

Gokuu the Carrot: Haha I am also the oldest! Oh, I'm sorry! They are just so easy to end there! This chapter was also sort of in a cliffhanger, but I think it was more of a mild one! Haha I will blame this very late update on you then, you jinxed me! Haha jk! Aw, it makes me happy you look forward to my updates so much! It's reviews like that, that make it worth all this trouble I have to go through to update! Hope you liked the chapter!

Son-AbyGC: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! Sorry for the late update again! And thanks for your message. It really motivated me to get this chapter up! I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Aditjn238: Lol doesn't it seem like such a Vegeta thing to do? Haha. Well Krillin handled himself pretty well, but Bulma has not been so lucky! I wonder if their luck will change next chapter though? Thanks for the encouragement! Hope you enjoyed the update!(:
