Terrible Allies

Android 16: "It's this way. Gero might not have liked the way these two turned out, but he was definitely heart-set on keeping them. He probably didn't want to feel like he wasted any time."

16 pressed a few buttons which opened the doors to the elevator. Once in the lower level, 16 turned on the light, revealing a very detailed surgical room, mechanics room, a large computer, and two coffin-looking gray canisters.

Android 16: "This was where Gero built all of us… He deactivated the computer before activating Android's 17 and 18, so we'll have to activate them upstairs."

Trunks: "So these two are Androids – err – Cyborgs too, huh? And you're sure they're peaceful?"

Android 16: "…"

16 grew silent.

Trunks: "16?"

Android 16: "I didn't want to worry your mother… They are… Impressionable. They hated Dr. Gero. It's a long story, but he was pretty terrible to these two. After they find out he's dead and that creations of his still walk this planet, they will seek to destroy them. After that, I'm not exactly sure where things could go…"

Trunks grew furious at his friend.

Trunks: "So you're telling me that we could be activating them and could be completely risking them going back to their monstrous rampage?! Are you insane?"

Android 16: "We dwarf them in power, Trunks! We can annihilate them in one shot if they step out of line. It's worth the chance!"

Trunks realized that Android 16 was right. As terrible as they were, they were extremely weak compared to Trunks in his normal form alone, let alone his Super Saiyan form. Still, he was uneasy about the idea, knowing the risks involved.

Trunks: "Whatever. You're the pro."

Trunks was definitely not excited about working with the Androids. Not only did he not fully believe they'd be peaceful, his hatred for everything they stood for motioned him far away from any desire to look at them as anything more than murderous piles of metal. Despite his hostilities however, Trunks proceeded in helping move the Androids' cases to the upper level, where they were to be activated.

Android 16: "Hold on… One more second… There. Plug this in to #17's canister."

16 handed Trunks a long A/C-looking cable to plug into the holding chamber. After plugging it in, it was just seconds before 17 emerged.

Android 17: "…"

Android 16: "17? Can you hear me? Do you know who I am?"

Android 17: "…16?"

Android 16: "Listen to me 17, forget about Gero's mission to destroy Goku and gain world domination. They're both dead. There is a new menace and we need you and your sisters help."

Android 17: "Hm."

While 17 gained his bearings, 18 was activated. She came out of the chamber already wielding her usual attitude.

Android 18: "Ugh, I've been in that thing for too long."

Android 16: "18, do you know me?"

Android 18: "Yes, 16, now we have to go kill a guy and take over the wor… Oh…"

Android 18 immediately noticed Trunks, which forced her to lose her train of thought. Despite being put off momentarily, she immediately returned to her fierce demeanor.

Android 18: "Who is this? Another Android?"

Trunks: "No, I'm not an Android. My name is Trunks, and I'm a Saiyan. You may not know me but I know you and everything about you so let's just keep it at names."

Android 16: "Trunks, please!"

Android 18 became instantly aggravated.

Android 18: "I don't like your tone, punk!"

Trunks: "Really? That's funny because I don't like anything about you. Or your brother here. We have a situation here and we need your help. After that, you can do whatever you want."
