Author's Note: Okay, I got a review asking me some simple questions about my story and since I don't know who actually sent it, I figure I'd answer em all right here in front of everyone:

Q1: "did you base this off the terminator?" A1: No, as much as it may seem exactly like it, I didn't get this idea off the Terminator movies. I've had the idea for this story in my head a long time and I always wanted to bring back the Red Ribbon army bigger and badder then before.

Q2: "If the sun blew up wouldn't Earth freeze, go black, and go out of orbit?" A2: Probably but I expect similar bad things might happen if the moon blew up (which it did in the show). This isn't a science factual story it's fiction, this whole thing makes as much sense time travel existing in RL.

Q3: "Are these androids as strong as the originals?" A3: In terms of power levels yes, but physically no. These are copied shells, "drones" of the original 17 and 18 and are easier to kill. There just used as footsoldiers. Hope that explains everything and now back to the fic!

------------------------------

Trunks couldn't believe what he was seeing, his diamond blue eyes blinking behind plum colored locks of his own hair. The one who had rescued Trunks from an ambush of marauding androids, was the same person he and Pan had been searching for all this time, but something was different.

Goku smiled "Hey Trunks, how've you been, feels like forever since I last saw you".

Trunks gasped "Uh Goku I don't think you've noticed this yet but……YOU'RE A FREAKING KID AGAIN".

Goku blinked and looked down at his relatively short legs, the young boy's hands flexed curiously around the red power pole that rested firmly in his small digits. Somehow, Goku had been shrunk down to his child form again. Trunks groaned as Goku simply laughed and shrugged it off.

"Oh yeah, I guess I am, that sure is a funny surprise" Goku said.

Trunks groaned "Would you please be SERIOUS for a minute, we've been looking all over for you. Do you have any idea what kind of hell we went through just to find you?".

Goku blinked "We? Who's we?".

The purple haired boy groaned and showed Goku the small pearl like orb, telling him that Pan was inside. The young Saiyan boy gasped and curiously examined the orb.

"She got zapped by the Spyder pod's head light rays, it turned her into this little bauble and now I don't know how to change her back" Trunks said.

Goku hummed "Well, I'm sure Bulma has a way to fix that, why don't we ask her".

Trunks nodded "Good idea I'll ask her as soon as we get back, but first things first, what in the world happened to you Goku? Last I saw you were being zapped by that nuclear ray from Android 30, and Goten said you turned into a psycho Super Saiyan 4 monster".

Goku nodded "Yeah I sort of remember that".

The Capsule corp. boy blinked in confusion "What do you mean sort of?".

Goku replied "Well I faintly remember being hit by that ray, but I sure don't remember turning into any kind of monster. The next thing I saw was all these weird colors and open doorways, like I was sent into some kind of alternate dimension. When I got here, I looked like this and I felt really good".

Trunks scratched his hair and groaned "ARG, this doesn't make any sense. Goten said you turned into a monster and started tearing up the place, now your saying you were sent into another dimension and ended up here, just like me and Pan did? But if that's the case, then who was that monster Goten was talking about?".

Goku smiled, rubbing his arms behind his head "Gee, I don't know. Maybe when that beam hit me it somehow separated my good side from my bad side".

"What did you just say?" Trunks said, his eyes bulging at hearing this.

Goku continued "It was weird but when that beam hit me, it felt like all the good inside of me was floating away, like I was leaving my body. But if my body was still around and still causing trouble then that must be my dark side, Kakkarott. The beam must have actually separated us from our bodies, and divided all of our good and evil sides into two separate forms".

Trunks gasped "Then that means the you, the REAL you was sent into the same dimensional portal we where sent into. And Kakkarott has your Super Saiyan 4 powers because you were emotionally unstable at the time. I had no idea Dr. Wrath's nuclear weapon could cause such freaky shit to happen".

The Saiyan's talk however was about to be interrupted. Goku's eyes suddenly flashed from playful to serious, his dark black hair rustling like spider webs in the wind. A chilling feeling cooled the violent blood brewing in Trunks and Goku's bodies. Dark mechanical laughter echoed behind the 2 warriors as a pair of menacing shadows loomed over them. One was a large, hulking, white male with short black hair, brown boots, and green loincloth.

The huge white man had a stern face and emotionless ice colored eyes, he also had an additional 2 arms bulging out of his waist. The 4 armed white man was none other then Android 14. Next to 14 was the one who was laughing. The laughing android was fat, bulky, and covered in a mixture of white and orange Chinese style clothing. Light pink silk like scarves flowed from the android's arms, adding to his strange foreign clothed appearance.

The android's face was also white, sporting a sinister smirk below sharp, black framed eyes. A orange and black spiky hat adorned the pudgy android's head, with the letters RR printed on the top. A large orange colored staff with a huge, curved diamond plated blade rested in the fat android's white hands. The staff also concealed small red lights in the center of the fat android's palms. Goku smirked at the fat bot, it was Android 19.

"It seems my troops scanners were not malfunctioning after all, the legendary Goku has returned. How unpleasant" Android 19 chuckled.

Goku returned the mocking smile "I'm just as surprised as you are, it's been a long time Android 19. Your clothes may be different but deep down in all of that hardware of yours, I bet you haven't changed one little bit".

Android 19 wickedly sneered "Correct Saiyan scum, though my scanners indicate you have changed a great deal. No matter. You are too late to stop us now, this world belongs to my master and the Red Ribbon Empire".

Goku smirked again "We'll see, and Android 14, you're here too huh? That's some upgrade you got there".

Trunks frowned "Yeah, and on that subject, who's been charging your batteries lately? Someone by the name of Mastermind I hear. Mind if we ask you a few questions about him?".

Android 19 laughed "You will not live enough to find out……TERMINATE THEM NOW".

The mechanical soldiers leapt into battle and quickly attacked the two Saiyan warriors. Trunks gasped and jumped back, recoiling at the sight of Android 14's multiple, grabbing forearms.

"Surrender and die Saiyan" Android 14 grunted.

Trunks blinked "Shouldn't that be surrender OR die?".

Android 14 smirked "Not in this town".

The albino android lunged at Trunks with his flying, brown gloved forearms, the Saiyan teen dipped and ducked, and dodged to the sides. Pan's pearl was being frantically juggled in Trunks hands as he tried to keep up with Android 14. The white pearl slipped from the boy's gloved hands, Trunks gasped and desperately tried to fly towards the falling white orb. But Android 14 snarled and grabbed Trunks bare calf with one of his four arms.

Trunks turned around and angrily kicked both of his legs into 14's face, his multiple hands rapidly blocking each kick. The Saiyan teen then panicked and fired an energy blast into 14's lower chest. Android 14 growled in pain as sparks started to fly from his open wound, Trunks then back flipped and kicked the white faced android right on the chin. Trunks flew into high gear and grabbed the white pearl from shattering on the Earth, in the nick of time.

BAM!

A powerful four armed hammer punch knocked Trunks face down into the dirt, he groaned as he quickly placed the orb in his tan shorts pocket. The silent white faced robot lifted up Trunks by his purple hair and started smashing his 4 fists into Trunks gut. Blood spurted from the boy's lips, each of the four fisted blows crunching harder and harder into his fractured ribs. Trunks finally grabbed one of the fists and tried to hold onto it with 1 arm.

A second fist came flying, Trunks used his other arm and grabbed that one. Android 14 then smirked as he reared back his lower chest arm, the only one not being used and prepared to crash it into Trunks. With nearly all 4 arms tied up by Trunks actions, the boy had no chance of blocking this move.

"I predict an 89 percent chance that you will not be able to avoid this move Trunks Briefs" Android 14 said proudly.

Trunks frowned "Predict THIS".

A powerful flash of golden light exploded from Trunks body, Android 14 screamed as he was blasted off of the teenager. Trunks had become a Super Saiyan. The golden haired boy wasted no time now, he charged forward and plowed his black suited elbow right into 14's white gut. Trunks then reared both hands back and blasted a powerful energy blast at point blank range into the very same spot. Android 14 screamed as flew back from the attack.

The tan, reddish heel of the hiker like boots Android 14 wore, dug deep into the black crust of the Earth. Android 14 skidded to a firm halt with his legs jammed firmly down. The four armed freakshow then growled as massive spiked, razor sharp blades burst out of 14's mechanical knuckles. Trunks was stunned and was too slow to stop Android 14 from charging him head on. The android plowed one set of razor knuckles right into Trunks face.

The second pair of razor knuckles then smashed into Trunks gut and sent him reeling into the air, cuts and bleeding wounds splattered all over Trunks falling body.

"Pan I'm sorry……I failed you" Trunks weakly gasped.

The purple haired young man hit the ground with a painful smack, his body thrashed and twitching in pain. Android 14 smirked and grabbed Trunks by his black shirt, jerking him to his feet and pressing up against his white chest, Trunks winced in pain. Goku watched in horror as Android 14 wrapped his four arms around Trunks like a pair of tight straps.

Goku gasped "TRUNKS, put him down right this instant".

Android 14 simply laughed and crushed his powerful forearms around Trunks chest, the bleeding boy cried out in pain. Goku growled hatefully at the pale faced machine. Android 19 laughed and mocked Goku's suffering.

"Now, it is just you and me Goku" Android 19 said.
