Eighteen and Copper were engaged in high pitch combat. Neither could inflict any damage upon each other. Punches, kicks, and waves of artificial energy devastated the great forrest of the north. An opening allowed Eighteen to fire the technique her husband had taught her, the Destructo Disk. Putting her right arm above her head, the pink disc formed. Aiming it directly to hit the now transformed General Copper's arm she fired it. A direct hit! General Copper made a painful moan. "I have been defeated! Show mercy I beg of you!" A smirk formed around her mouth. "You're nothing but a weakling, Copper. Here I thought you'd be a decent challenge. She heard a monotone laugh come from him. "My dear are you that arrogant? Do you really think I, Marcus Copper would be so easily defeated? The first mistake you made was assuming I wasn't prepared for such an event of losing a limb." Gathering his energy he effortlessly regenerate his scaled arm. Deciding it was his turn to explain things he said. "Much like yourself, I too have been biologically enhanced. Much like Cell, I too can regenerate. However, I can regenerate with nothing being left only using atoms. Furthermore, my cell structure constantly improves and removes and any weaknesses my body may have. With this being said, since our little battle has allowed my cells to grant me a new form.
A white glow outlined his body, but Eighteen could see him changing shape. When the process ended she saw him take a snake like humanoid form. His skin became ashen gray, his head took that of a snake, and his fingers had grown considerably with claws. She could sense he had become considerably more stronger than before. Before she could defend herself he slammed his fist into her stomach. She had never felt this much pain, not since Cell. Copper began to cackle. "What's the matter dear, you were so sure of yourself a minute ago. How does it feel to know you're no longer unique, that you're power is insignificant when faced with a stronger foe? I will make you feel true pain before this battle is through. Follow me." He ascended to the sky and headed west towards North City. She quickly made her way into the sky to peruse him. She had followed him for what seemed to her to have been hours. He stopped at the outskirts of the City. This was the place where she had defeated Vegeta and most of the Z Fighters. This was the place where Krillin had pleaded with them not to attack Goku, where she pecked him on the cheek.
Copper folded his arms in front of himself and said. "Feeling nostalgic Eighteen? I chose this spot just for you. Today you will be faced with the greatest decision in your life." Extending his hand behind him he formed an electric pink energy sphere. "I will give you a choice. You will determine whether all of the people of North City shall perish. If you attack me, I will kill every last person who resides here. I'm giving you a considerate offer. Since you have gifted me with a new and more powerful form, I will allow you to leave with your life intact. If you decide to go on with your vendetta, all of the people within this city will be atomized. She began to think hard. A battle for dominance between her human and computer brain commenced. The computer told her she could prevent him from carrying out the attack. Her human brain said not to. In frustration she went through and attacked Copper. He smirked and fired an energy sphere that blinded her vision. She she opened her eyes what she saw horrified her.
North City was no more. Where there had been a bustling city there was only a wasteland no trace of buildings or anything such thing. Guilt started to fill her in full effect. She had just killed men, women, and children. She began to think what her family would think. Krillin would be enraged, her daughter would be known as the child with a monster of a mother. All the progress she had made, was now gone. The Dragon Balls would be able to restore the dead, but her life as far as she knew was forfeit. If Krillin woke up would he even recognize her? This entire situation was now her fault. In her lust for vengeance she had been blinded to the reality of what would happen if she went through with it. Copper saw her destress and relished in it. "How does it feel to know you just killed over a hundred thousand people? You never calculated the outcome of what would happen if you went through with the attack. Now my dear, I will not give you the release of death. Instead you will be my trophy, as a lesson to all who oppose The Red Ribbon Army and myself." Before Eighteen could react he teleported behind her and knocked her unconscious.
News had spread all over the world that North City was gone. Every news outlet was reporting of a blonde women attacked a serpent humanoid which resulted in him firing some kind of nuclear device. Shutting off the T.V Bulma started to sigh. She had a feeling this would happen. For all of Eighteen's power she could be so fucking impulsive at the worst times. She went in alone where she should have gone with a trusted ally. She began to think what she'd tell Marron, there was nothing she could do to hide it. The poor girl, first she loses her father and now she'll see that her mother is a monster. Later that afternoon she carefully explained to Marron what had happened, but to her surprise she already knew. Marron knew her mommy did something terrible, but she forgives her. This girl is older than her time. Marron suggested she call Viktor, and see if he could help. Picking up the phone she dialed his number. Hearing a Russian man on the end she said. "Is this Viktor Zaz? Something has happened to Eighteen, and her daughter thinks you can help her. Hearing the man respond, "I'm already aware of what's happened, and I'm getting a rescue operation in order. Do not send any of Earth's Warriors to assist us, this must be done under stealth. With that she heard the phone hang up.
Far to the east, Viktor and his team were preparing for the rescue. He had assembled his team consisting of Simon Grey, Gabriel Orange, and Scarlet Pink. He had briefed them on the mission, that they were to extract the blonde Cyborg while Copper was busy celebrating his victory. They were wearing their special Army combat suits, that with the stroke of luck hadn't been changed by the reformed Army. Beginning to speak Viktor said. "Comrades we are about to embark on our first ever rescue mission. The plan is simple, we sneak in and act as regular soldiers while no one is the wiser. Simon, your task is to create a collapse that will prevent backup from being rendered. Gabriel, you will provide with your Fusion Bolt Cannon a distraction that will allow me and Scarlet to rescue the target. Scarlet, as you are our medical officer you will provide medical assistance to the Cyborg. I have no doubt she'll in no shape to even walk, so I'll carry her. Simon began to speak. "Boss I mean no offense, but why are going to risk our necks for her? She blew North City to oblivion!" Slightly aggravated by Simon's comment Viktor said. "Copper was the one who killed those people not her, Simon. I'm doing this for her daughter and my partner. I won't allow another family to be ruined because of the Army. We can end this threat once and for all. Are you with me?" Nodding in agreement vowed they'd stop the army where the earths fighters could not.
