Trunks's Nightmare

Once face to face with Bra, Vegeta gauged her with narrowing eyes. His nose twitched for a few seconds. He then frowned.

"Yes, I should have known it from the start! You're scent… it's mangled with mine and the Woman's! Not only that, but you look like her… too much like her…grahhh I can't believe I was such an idiot!" Though he didn't voice it, he was proud that his two offspring were almost as powerful as he is. Could do without the odd hair coloring; blast that woman and her genes!

The Saiyan Prince was not one to show his emotions and this time was no different, even with something as astonishing as this. He has seen many odd happenings in his life so he supposed that his offspring's coming from the future is not an improbable thing…

Bra groaned as everyone gasped. Bulma almost fell to the ground in shock, but luckily her future son caught her. Well, I guess the theory of me being born later just went right out the window.

"W-Whoa…how bizarre! Two kids of Vegeta from the future!" Gohan said, his mind completely boggled.

Krillin and Tien agreed.

"Hi daddy…" The half Saiyan said meekly, nervousness evident in her voice as she scratched the back of her head.

Vegeta grunted, which Bra took as his way of acknowledgement, not voicing his opinion on the matter as Bulma hastily walked to her future daughter. She sized her up for a few seconds before grasping her face. "Oh my god! You really look like a younger me! You were living with us for three years and I never actually took a closer look! My baby girl!" She whispered tenderly as she hugged her tightly with one arm, as the other was occupied with baby Trunks. She felt outright embarrassed at this moment because she always prided herself for being a genius. Seeing someone for THREE YEARS, living in the SAME place as her and not putting the clues together is nothing short of ridiculous. She definitely will be belittling herself to death for weeks for this show of ignorance. Then again, it's not every day you get someone coming from the future right?

Bra blushed, disliking all the smothering her young mother was giving her in front of everyone.

Piccolo coughed, catching everyone's attention. "I don't mean to be rude, but the Android probably got a good head start while you all were having a family meeting." He turned towards the direction Twenty ran off to.

Vegeta growled with realization. "Blast! The Namek is right!" The Prince levitated, getting ready to take off but stopped at the sound of Bulma's voice.

"Wait!"

Vegeta sneered. "What now Woman!?"

"That Android looked a lot like Dr. Gero." Bulma said as she continued to rock her baby in a soothing manner.

Trunks eyes widened. "As in the creator of the Androids?!" His past mother nodded.

"I once saw him on one of the magazines I read. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned himself into one of those machines." She continued.

The Namek spoke once more. "Do you happen to know where his lab could be?"

She pondered for a second. "The only thing I know is that it's somewhere in the mountains, that's probably where he took off to."

Vegeta growled, beginning to lose his cool by the minute. "We are wasting time! Who cares what the old man's name is!" With that he blasted off, leaving a long trail of golden light.

Bra and Trunks both transformed, hurrying on after him. "Father!"

Piccolo and Tien followed shortly. Krillin and Gohan were about to take off but a female shout halted them in place. "Hold it! You both are not leaving me here! One of you has to take me back!" They both groaned in disappointment, but one of them volunteered to do the job.

Gohan sighed. "I'll take you back…"

Krillin's eyes widened. "Are you sure buddy? Because I could do it you know."

Gohan shook his head, cracking a smile. "Yeah I'm sure. Besides, that way I could see how my dad's doing." The young halfling lifted Bulma around her waist and then faced his father's best friend. "Hey Krillin, take these!"

The former monk smoothly caught the brown sack filled with Senzu Beans. "Thanks bro, we are definitely going to need them."

Gohan nodded as he took off one direction while Krillin went the other.

"Don't you dare drop me kid!" the blue-haired woman yelled, making the poor boy cringe.

The half Saiyan sighed once more, holding her tightly. "Don't worry, I won't.

Dr. Gero was on foot, and he was running like his life depended on it. He figured that he'd draw attention by flying, so by running he could use the tall rocky mountains as cover. That is, after all, why he choice this area as his base. I may have gotten a head start, but I'm willing to bet that they are not too far behind. However, by the time they do reach me, it will all be too late!

As his base came into view, he hopped on a large indented rocky landscape which held a large steal door. He punched in the access code on the small panel on the left side of the door and quickly walked inside, the door sliding firmly shut behind him.

He strode over to the three large burgundy coffins in the back of his lab. Each one was labeled with a number, signifying which Android is which.

Sweat began cascading down his forehead as he stared at the Android coffins. Ughh I really hate that I have to resort to this. These Androids, excluding Sixteen, are really rebellious...but what choice do I have?

He reached for a remote on the nearby table, which had a large red button in the middle. He opened each coffin and admired each of his magnificent creations.

The first one, labeled Sixteen, was a large board man with a red-orange mohawk. His bright green armor covered his black skin tight body suit.

The next one in line was Seventeen. He had shoulder length dirty blond hair and a yellow scarf wrapped around his neck which kissed his black t-shirt. Under the shirt, was a white long sleeve shirt which was neatly tucked under his ruffled blue jeans.

And lastly was Eighteen; she was quiet beautiful with her long brown hair hanging loosely behind her back and over her shoulders. She wore a long sleeve white shirt which was under her loose brown jacket. As for her lower body, she wore a dark brown thigh length skirt while the rest of her long legs remained bare.

Dr. Gero first pointed the controller to Eighteen and then pressed the activation button. Seconds after, her eyes fluttered open, revealing a pair of shining emerald orbs. She looked at the doctor curiously before smiling genuinely. She pushed off the coffin and stood upright; she then spoke.

"Hello Doctor, it's great to see you again."

Gero smiled back. Good it seems she is more obedient this time around. "Good, now I'll awaken your brothers." Eighteen stepped aside as Gero again pressed the red button, however this time, he aimed it at Seventeen.

The Android's eyelids snapped open, revealing an exact replica of his sister's. He stood up, but unlike his sister, he didn't smile. He just merely nodded towards the Doctor, who took that as a greeting. Excellent! Looks like everything is going smoothly this time around. "Now for your other-"

That's when everything turned for the worse. Seventeen attempted to snatch the controller from his master, but the doctor was quicker as he sidestepped to the right.

"What is the meaning of this Seventeen!? Don't make me deactivate you again!" He hollered with irritation.

Seventeen smiled brightly… a little too brightly. "Relax Doc, I was just playing around." Fortunately for the young man, the doctor seemed to have bought his excuse.

"That's fine, but if you try it once more, I won't hesitate to put you back to sleep." The Android nodded.

The old man turned around and was about to activate Sixteen, but to his horror, he notice that his controller was no longer within his hand… in fact, his hand wasn't even there at all.

"Looking for this Doctor?"

Gero's head jerked towards Eighteen and gasped when he saw his now useless hand being dangled hers, the controller still clamped within it.

Seventeen chuckled as he cracked a smirk. "Nice of you to give us a hand doc."

"That was lame."

"I know, I just couldn't resist."

Eighteen rolled her eyes as the older Android began to panic. "I demand you to hand the controller back to me this instant!"

The blonde haired young man smirked. "That's kinda hard to do when-" He leaped up to his maker and chopped off his other hand, to Gero's dismay. "You're handless."

"How dare yo-"

His head was suddenly ripped off but no other than Eighteen's foot. His eye's widened with shock as his head rolled over and over on the steal floor until it was halted by the leg of one of his tables.

"Quiet old man, we're in control this time." Seventeen sneered.

Dr. Gero knew this was the end for him. He should have known that they wouldn't listen because unlike the other Android's, these along with Sixteen are humans with mechanical parts installed in them, which would technically make them Cyborgs, not Androids. I guess it's all up to him now. Even though I won't be around, he will finish what I started.

"Hey father, we found it!"

Either they had really good luck or the doctor is lousy at camouflaging things seeing as how they didn't have much trouble spotting it.

Vegeta ears perked at the sound of his son's voice as he then glided towards him. He eyed the big metal door and extended his right hand, beginning to charge a large ki ball within his palm.

"Android! Come out now before I blast you out!" the Prince threatened.

As if hearing the threat, the door was blown off its hinges, sky rocketing until it landed below with a heavy thud, causing dust to soar from the ground. As Piccolo, Tien, and Krillin finally reached the Saiyans, the Prince along with his son and daughter slowly hovered to the now open doorway. What they saw inside was rather shocking.

The blond haired Android had his foot on what seemed to have been a head. It was smashed beyond recognition what with brain matter disgustingly spattered around its area. The identity of the head was recognized when they saw Gero's headless body flat on the floor not too far away. The brunette watched her brother with amusement as she tossed the controller up and down in her hand.

"Trunks, are these the Android's you were talking about?"

The half Saiyan scratched his head with bewilderment. "Yes, however they look uhh different. The blond haired one had jet black hair instead and the brunette had blond and shorter hair, similar to the other."

Eighteen looked at the Z-Fighters with a small smile, making one of them blush. She then turned to Seventeen, ripped the remote off the useless hand, tossing it aside, then threw the metal object to her brother, who caught it effortlessly with a quick swipe of his right hand.

"Alright, now let's wake up our brother shell we." Seventeen said, pointing the remote at Sixteen.

Trunks's eyes widen as he lifted his hands above and began charge up for an attack. "If they release another one it will be the end of all of us NOOOO-"

Time seemed to slow down as the lavender haired young man suddenly saw the smirking face of the brunette before her foot came crashing against his left cheek bone, hurling him out of the open door way.

"Now continue Seventeen." Her brother smirked as he pushed the button.

Bra instantly transformed, blasting out of the base. "Quick, everyone get out! I'm blasting the whole damn thing down!"

Everyone except the Androids instantly rushed out as she shot a rather large energy blast at the base, exploding it to hundreds of pieces.

Vegeta growled. "Now why did you go ahead and do that? Don't you want to fight them and see how strong they are?!" He scolded.

Bra glanced at her father with a frown. "You know, in my timeline, you always charged everything head on and ninety-five percent of the time you got your ass handed to you."

"Watch it brat!" The Prince threatened, clearly displeased at his daughter's lack of respect.

"Look, they're still alive!" Krillin pointed out behind them.

Instead of just two Androids, now there were three, the newest addition being the red-orange mohawk one. They were hovering mid-air, wearing a look of amusement…well except Sixteen. He just had a stern expression pasted across his face… and was that a little bird on his shoulder?

"Well that wasn't very nice." He eyed his sister. "Hey Eighteen, how about we have some fun with these losers?"

Eighteen smiled brightly. "Sure. I'll handle miss-blondie over here." She said, jerking her thumb at the female Saiyan, which earned her a glare.

As the Saiyan Princess faced the brunette, she was surprised with a fist to the face, launching her away, her foe shooting right on after.

Seventeen faced Trunks, who upon seeing the Android look at him, exploded in a brilliant golden light. "I guess it's you and me then ehh."

"Bring it on." The young man encouraged, even though he knew he wouldn't last long.

The Saiyan Prince stepped in. "No way, your fights with me tin-can!"

Seventeen smiled. "Hey Sixteen, why don't you handle him while I take on the kid over there."

"No."

Seventeen frowned. "Why not, are you scared?"

"I was programed to kill Goku. I don't have any interest on fighting the others."

The blond haired Android shrugged. "Suit yourself."

"Okay Vegeta, sense you have a death wish, I'll play with you first."

The Prince grinned as they both collided with each other in a series of punches and kicks.

Trunks gazed at the large Android, clearly confused. He saw that he was petting a few squirrels while a few birds were flying around, circling him; he was smiling genuinely. How odd… he looks so friendly.

"Weird huh." Krillin said, thinking the same thing.

"I'll say." The time traveler agreed.

Piccolo and Tien, with their arms crossed, watched the battle with interest, not wanting to interfere unless needed to.

Bra growled as she wiped the trailing blood from her lips. "Cheap shot."

"Then maybe you should pay more attention!" another fist met the Saiyan's face, hurling her down, but fortunately she was able to bounce right back up, nailing the surprised Android in the shoulder, causing her to sky fall.

As Eighteen righted herself upon landing, she was met with a fist to the side of her head, making her stumble. With a flick of her wrist, Bra yanked her sword out and did an upward slicing motion, aiming to cut through the Android, but she saw this coming and reacted by arcing backwards, the blade nearly skewering her pretty face. While still bent backwards, the brunette raised her right leg up, her foot catching the Saiyan's head, forcing her to do a backward summersault. With only seconds left before her face met the ground, the Super Saiyan caught herself with one hand, sprung into the air, did a flip and then expertly landed on her feet. As the Saiyan placed her sword back in its rightful place, the Android preformed an ax kick, which Bra instantly countered by swaying to the right, proceeding to take advantage of this miscalculation by delivering an elbow to her back, only to unfortunately hit an afterimage. The Android appeared behind Bra, giving a bone crushing blow right to her spine, making her gasp with wide eyes as it connected full force.

Oh my god that hurt soooo bad!

The Princess of all Saiyan's hair flicked slightly between it's natural color, but fortunately her will power to win keep her aura aflame as she planted her hands on the ground, launched herself back, smashing her raised elbow right into Eighteen's sternum, sending her across the landscape with breakneck speed. The Android forced her body to do a midair twirl, planting her feet on a raised large rocky edge, springing off towards the now refocused Saiyan. Bra waited patiently, preparing a shining green ki ball in her right palm. Moments later, Eighteen drove her head right into Bra's afterimage.

"Final Shine!" From behind, the Saiyan blasted her signature move.

"Field on!" To Bra's horror her powerful attack bounced right off a bright pink shield that the brunette had surrounded herself in sending it off into the air harmlessly.

Her state of shock gave Eighteen enough time to charge an attack of her own. She turned around with a genuine smile plastered across her face as she hurled her yellow ki ball at the standstill Saiyan, who took the attack head on, hurling her smoking form across the ground, coughing harshly once she slid to an unpleasant landing.

"It's over sweetheart." Eighteen cooed as she landed beside her. Bra was about to try to prove her wrong, but suddenly she found that she couldn't as a heart wrenching scream exploded from her lungs instead. Without realizing it until it was too late, the deadly brunette had punted her foot right to the side of her elbow, shattering the bone completely.

Bra was in a state of shock as her hair faded back to aqua; Eighteen smiled brightly.

"Awww poor baby, let me kiss it and make it better." She jested as a pink ki ball began forming within her hand, aiming to finish off the helpless Saiyan.

The Android leaped up high into the air before letting her attack loose. "Power Blitz!"

Out of nowhere, the lavender haired man appeared in front of Bra and deflected the attack away from her.

"This ends now Android!" Trunks transformed as he rushed towards the smiling brunette.

"Burning Slash Attack!"

The Super Saiyan skillfully pulled out his sword, instantly making it shimmer with a bright red-orange aura. Once face to face with the brunette, he whipped his blade at her, only to have it caught between Eighteen's pointer and index finger.

Trunks eyes widened with disbelief. "Whah-"

Eighteen's expression, for the first time, warped into something different than her usual bright smile. An expression that haunted Trunks since he was a mere kid.

A sadistic one. The sadistic smile they used when they taunted him about how everyone he loved and cared for was forever gone.

The Android pushed her long hair away from her forehead with her free hand as the other snapped the blade in half, much to Trunks' dismay.

"Bad boy." Eighteen said seductively as she grabbed the shocked Super Saiyan by the shoulder and reeled him into a full blown kiss, further astonishing the young man. As the Android tilted him back slightly, she whispered to him sweetly.

"Hmmm you're really cute, however you're not my type." Her smile returned as she backhanded the surprised Saiyan across the face, hurling him straight into the ground, creating a large trench. His hair matted back down, the impact knocking him out cold.

Bra, who had seen the whole thing, glared at the brunette above as she gripped her broken arm. "H-how did you beat him so fast?!"

Eighteen faced the aqua haired young woman with a look of amusement. "How did I do that? Hmm I wasn't trying when I was fighting you. I was merely toying with you."

The Saiyan's mouth went agape. "N-No way!"

Eighteen smiled. "Had I actually been trying, this fight would have ended when I delivered that, what did you say it was? Oh yeah, the 'cheap shot'."

Bra froze with fear. How can she be that strong?

"But don't worry baby girl, you're going to live today." She blew a kiss at the confused Saiyan as she lifted off, heading towards her siblings.

"Arrugggaahhh!"

The world's hero was helplessly twisting and turning on his bed, fighting for his dear life.

Yamcha had gotten to Capsule Corp. about twenty minutes ago, only to find out that Bulma wasn't there. He had looked everywhere for the medicine the young man from the future had given to Goku, but for the life of him couldn't find it.

"Damn it! Where is it!?" The scar faced man hollered in frustration. He turned and faced the dying Saiyan with panic written on his face. "D-Don't worry buddy. Hang on there…"

Just then Gohan and Bulma, with baby Trunks in hand, rushed in the room. "How is my dad?!"

Yamcha gave them a grim look. "H-He's not doing well…I haven't giving him the medicine because I don't know where the damn thing is!"

Gohan paled. "What!?" He turned towards the sea-green haired woman. "Bulma, did dad ever give you a little white bottle? That's the antidote Trunks gave him to get rid of the virus!"

Bulma, with a worried look across her face, shook her head. "No…I had forgotten he was supposed to get that virus! He never gave me anything!"

Yamcha's eyes widen. "Wait! The boy from the future is your baby grown up!?"

Gohan glared at the former bandit. "Who cares, my dad is dying! We have to find-" A light bulb mentally flickered to life within his head. The half Saiyan didn't even say anything as he rushed out the room, ran down the stairs and finally headed straight into the kitchen, picking up the phone on the counter. He hastily dialed the number to his home.

A female voice was heard on the other line. "Hello?"

"Mom I need-!"

Said mother cut him off as soon as she recognized his voice. "Gohan! Where have you been!? If you went to-"

Her son frantically spoke again. "Mom! Please list-!"

"No! You listen-"

"Daddy's dying!"

The other line went silent, followed shortly by shallow breathing. "G-Goku? How-"

At this point the poor boy was in tears. "Yeah…listen, do you have the little white bottle dad gave you to hold when he came back from space!? Th-the virus is attacking his heart right now! If we don't give it to him now, he's going to die! Even the Dragon Balls can't bright him back since he would have died of natural causes!"

Sudden rustling noises were heard through the phone as seconds later Chi-Chi's voice returned. "I found it! I'm coming right-"

"No! It would take too long! I'm heading down there right now!" He didn't even let his mother respond because before you know it, he was already out the doors and into the air, blasting off with speeds he never knew he was capable of.

Hang on dad! Don't die! He thought as tears leaked down his small face, fading away as he cut straight through the air.

There you have it! Chapter 10... even though it took forever! So how do you all like the new changes? Good? Bad? Let me know!

By the way the Android are as strong as in canon DBZ. Even though Bra is from the future, like Trunks, Vegeta is still much stronger than both of them (He was stronger than Trunks anyways). Anyways I hope you all enjoyed it because this chapter will most likely be the last one of this year since I will be focusing on my other story, "The Other Me", which is a Sonic story that I started 2 years ago and it's still there... unfinished...(not that you DBZ fans give a fudge...)

So IF I don't update another chapter before the end of the year, Hope you all had a MARRY CHRISTMAS and DO HAVE a HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR! =)

Hope to still have my readers following me in 2014! See-ya around!
