Dr Gero had met his end at the hands of one of his own creations.

But unknown to anyone, deep in the caverns of his laboratory, his twisted brilliance lived on.

Unknown to the world above, a supercomputer was diligently working to realize the doctor's dark dream: to create the ultimate, indestructible, android killing machine.

This… is not that story. Yeah, the ultimate android was Plan B, which met its end at Gohan's hands more than 4 years ago. This is about Plan C.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After the battle with Naraku and his escape, Gohan and the others took some time to get some R&R back in the Modern Era, as in him, Kagome, Kai, Trunks, Roshi, Oolong and Yamcha taking a shopping/ perverted beauty pageant day in West City.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey, can you guys hold my place in line?" asked Yamcha "I've gotta go to the bathroom."

"Forget it." Oolong said firmly "You leave, you go to the back of the line."

Roshi yawned "Boy, I'm tired."

"Yeah well my feet hurt, maybe this wasn't such a brilliant idea. I don't think I can last 3 more hours, we might as well go home."

"Take it easy there big guy, you're in the pole position. You can't give in now. Be strong, no wimp is gonna get front row seats at this pageant. This is the best in the world. Rare beauties from every corner of the globe! Miss Spain, Miss Russia, Miss France, walking in their underpants!"

Now Oolong was sporting a lecherous grin "Australia won't fail ya."

"Now you've got it, that's the spirit!"

They started running in circles before Yamcha finally intervened "Enough!" they stopped "Come on you two, this is ridiculous! Come on Trunks, let's set a good example here."

Trunks blushed "Well, don't worry about me guys."

"Well some of us are here for noble reasons."

Roshi grinned "I get it, wife hunting!"

And like that, Yamcha's noble traits were gone "Well what do you say, do you guys think I can score a wife here?! I mean not the winner of course, it could be just a runner-up! Or hey I'm not picky, it could be the unlucky one who comes in dead last! Dry your tears mademoiselle, Yamcha is here to take away your pain! Just joking, I don't need to go for the losers. We baseball stars are like chick-magnets, we just stand in one place and let the hotties come to us."

"Oh well stand here then, we're gonna go peek in the dressing rooms. Don't lose our places in line." and he and Oolong rushed off.

"Hey, get your own seats! Sorry Trunks, gotta go. Keep our places in line!" and Yamcha rushed off too.

"Yamcha!" Trunks found himself alone "How did I get this? I should've stuck with Gohan and the others, shopping couldn't be this bad could it?"

He was wrong.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kai and Gohan watched as Kagome fought through other women for clothes "Wow, it's a lot like that mud wrestling I showed you back in 7th grade. Remember?"

Gohan nodded "Apparently Kagome uses this as a stress reliever when we're not in the Feudal Era."

"Does it work?"

"Gohan, heads up!" Kagome tossed more boxes back.

Gohan barely caught them all, impressing the cashier "You've got quite the stack here. Are we done?"

"Far from it, now it's your turn. Gohan all you wear is the school uniform or your gi, we've gotta buy you some new casual clothes of your own. Plus we need a gi for Kai."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Unknown to them, two figures with Red Ribbon symbol were making their way towards their location, causing mass destruction in the process.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan's group met up with Trunks' group for lunch in the restaurant "So how'd you guys figure out you had the wrong day?"

Yamcha sighed "The pageant was supposed to start in 5 minutes and we were the only ones standing in line. I can't believe I stood there with you guys for 6 hours."

Roshi tried to remain optimistic "Well, we built stamina for tomorrow."

"Help me." Trunks mouthed.

Gohan chuckled in a very Vegeta-like fashion.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The two figures reached the area, deciding to "serve the last course up good", and fired a combined energy blast that decimated the floor.

Gohan surveyed the damage 'This is horrible. That was no ordinary bomb, that was a Ki blast! But where? I can't sense anything.' then he saw a light within the ruins of the building and suddenly realized it "Kai, get Kagome out of here now! Yamcha, Trunks, get those people as far away from here as you can! Hurry!"

"Right!" Kai quickly led Kagome away.

Gohan quickly tried to lure away the two androids, 14 and 15 'Just as I thought, it's me they're after. I guess Gero had another contingency plan in case the whole thing with Cell blew up in his face.' he stopped in mid-air and turned to face them "Alright, who are you guys?"

Android 15 took a jug out of his pocket and took a sip.

"Red Ribbon, huh? No wonder I couldn't sense your life force, the two of you aren't organic. I hate to say it but the quality has really gone down since the whole thing with Cell."

Android 15 fired a simple Ki blast.

Gohan deflected it with one hand and began fending off Android 14's assault.

This ended when Android 15 slugged Gohan in the face, sending him crashing into a building.

Gohan tried to lure them away, only for them to slam him through one building and into the side of another.

Trunks showed up and deflected a Ki blast from Android 15 with his own "Get away from him!"

"Trunks, stay back!"

Android 15 quickly drop-kicked Trunks and deflected a Ki blast.

Trunks quickly dodged a barrage of Ki blasts "Gohan it's no good here, we'll bring the whole city down at this rate! Let's book it before this thing gets out of hand!"

Gohan quickly punched Android 14 away "Got it, let's go!" he quickly blitzed away.

"Right!" Trunks followed him, the androids hot on his trail.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What are those guys?" Yamcha wondered.

"They're evil." Kai stated like it was obvious "We can't just stand here Yamcha, we've gotta help!"

"Yeah but how? We wouldn't last 2 seconds against guys like that, especially you."

"Don't treat me like a kid, I've been training with Piccolo."

"For a few weeks. Face it, you're not ready and I'm pretty much useless."

"I don't care! Gohan's my friend, I refuse to abandon him at a time like this!" and he flew off.

"Dammit…" Yamcha reluctantly flew after them.

Kagome wanted to go after them, but knew she couldn't since she didn't know how to fly 'Just be careful, Gohan…'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Unknown to them, thanks to another one of Dr Gero's secret computers, a third android, Android 13, was completed.

His objective: kill off the remainder of Goku's blood.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Trunks and Gohan led Android 14 and 15 to a secluded spot in the arctic.

Gohan glared at the androids "If you want my father he's gone, so I'm more than happy to take you on in his place. Let's go."

Trunks nodded "You two don't know what you're getting yourselves into."

Android 15 smirked "Oh we don't, huh? I know you're Trunks." he blitzed forward and kicked Trunks to the ground, then went with Android 14 to double-team him.

"Now I can't believe the son of the great Goku is catching an ass-whooping from these boys. If he can't even handle the indians, why bring out the chief?" a taunting voice echoed.

Gohan and Trunks flew up and found a new enemy, Android 13, standing before them "Just perfect."

"Howdy there, I'm android 13. Look at my trucker hat."

"So you're an android too? Dammit, how many scrap heaps did Dr Gero create before he got turned to scrap?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but we were created by the good doctor's computer."

"Great, now his computer wants payback for me killing Cell."

"That's right. This particular computer has been programmed to think that it is Dr Gero. It's down at his sub-sublab scheming and plotting, trying to realize its newest ambition, which is to see you dead! Calling it retribution for what you did for the supposed perfect android a few years back."

"Hold on a minute." Trunks cut in "Krillin and I destroyed Dr Gero's computer, along with his secret lab."

"Get real city boy, you think the doctor would only have one sublab? Now if you don't mind, we were in the middle of a conversation." 13 turned his attention back to Gohan "I know I know, we should all just let bygones be bygones, but that ain't the way it's gonna be. I was programmed to kill your ass, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do."

"You're just a slave, a pawn with no free will of your own! Isn't that right?"

13 shot Trunks a lazy glance "Free will? Pitiful humans. War, segregation, hatred. Is this what you've done with your free will, boy? Don't lecture me with your $30 haircut, Goku's boy dies!"

"We'll see you Red Ribbon redneck."

"Yes we will, we sure will. Go get em boys." as 14 and 15 began double-teaming Trunks, he turned his attention to Gohan "#13, that's your unlucky number. And I ain't talking about no silly superstitions city boy, I'm talking about yours truly, big 13."

"I don't care what you're called, hurting innocent people is wrong, and I absolutely refuse to stand for it!"" unfazed, Gohan powered up to Super Saiyan, but stopped when he saw something glowing in 13's chest, the same for 14 and 15 'It can't be… They have Shikon Jewel shards? But how? Tell me, where did you and the other androids get those shards in your chests?"

"Oh the good doctor found some of these around Japan a few years back, decided to place them in us in case that whole perfection thing didn't work out. But enough about that city boy, time to die!" he fired a Finger Beam, turning from red to black with an ominous glow.

Gohan tried but failed to block it, sending him crashing into the icy waters below.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Gohan!" Kai tried to rush and help.

Yamcha held him back "Kai don't, there's nothing either of us can do right now."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Trunks was still getting double-teamed by 14 and 15.

The jewel shards in their chests glowed an ominous black color as they smashed Trunks into the ground and fired multiple Ki blasts at him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

13 noticed something below him "Well I'll be."

Gohan emerged from the icy waters "Take this!" attacked 13 by throwing a massive block of ice at him.

13 dodged, but lost his hat, and grabbed Gohan by the leg "Dang it boy, how did a scrawny little guy like you withstand a blast like that?" he pulled Gohan downwards and pushed him down into the waters below, then began trading blows with him.

Gohan tried to fight back, but none of his attacks got anywhere.

13 prepared an SS Deadly Bomber.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Trunks emerged from the rubble and flared his aura, then charged at 14 and brought down his sword, only for it to be blocked 'Why did I even bring this? Wait, why did I bring this? We were shopping before-'

"Little boys shouldn't play with knives." 14 then slugged Trunks in the gut, causing him to let go of the sword.

15 blasted Trunks in the back.

14 then smashed Trunks into the glacier below, then threw the sword into the ice directly beside Trunks' head.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

13 unleashed his SS Deadly Bomber.

Gohan tried to dodge it, but found it was a homing attack, so he kept evading until his back was to a mountain of ice, then drew his sword 'Let's hope this works.'

13 smirked "He's plum loco if he's meaning to catch that with his bare hands. That boy's been out in the sun without his head on for way too long."

Gohan brought down his sword, but soon found that he couldn't cut through it 'I should've thought this through more.'

Then another Ki blast sent the attack upwards, detonating it in the air. Then the iceberg split open, and a Vegeta emerged from it "For thousands of years I lay dormant, who has disturbed my- oh, it's just you. Explain."

"3 more androids."

"Oh. Well let me make one thing clear. I didn't come here out of the goodness of my heart, I came so I could have you at your best for my shot at you, and no junkyard reject is going to take that chance away from me."

13 smirked "We're not programmed to kill you, but we'd be glad to oblige. Hey 15, take care of this guy."

"You got it boss man." 15 burst forward and began clashing with Vegeta.

"Time for an old-fashioned butt-whooping." 13 charged at Gohan and began trading blows with him, before ending when he kneed him in the gut, elbowed him in the back and kicked him into a glacier. Then he fired a rapid barrage of Ki blasts "I know you ain't ready to start pushing up daisies yet. Come on son, I was just now getting warmed up."

Then Gohan emerged and elbowed 13 in the face, sending him staggering back "You still don't know what you're up against. You're leading a path to your own destruction."

13 looked unfazed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

14 dodged a blast from Trunks and slammed him into a glacier, then began headbutting him in the skull without mercy before pummeling.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

15 forced Vegeta on the defensive and began pummeling against a glacier.

But then Vegeta suddenly caught one of 15's hands "Hey! Wanna see something cool?"

"...Yeah okay." was all he said.

Vegeta flared his aura, destroying 15's hat, and with a furious roar, he flashed into Super Saiyan.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Trunks was getting a beating from 14, but he finally had enough and flashed into his own Super Saiyan form.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

13 slugged Gohan and headbutted him into a glacier "What's the matter, boy?"

"Not a thing, you damn Red Ribbon redneck!" Gohan finally had enough and went to the next level: Super Saiyan 2 "Get ready, I'm not holding back anymore."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

15 took a sip from the jug in his pocket "Okay, let's dance."

"Gladly." Vegeta then blasted 15 into a glacier.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan attacked 13 with a barrage of Ki blasts.

13 dodged and deflected them all and charged at him.

"Hold on Gohan!" Kai rushed forward and fired a Masenko that hit 13 in the back, but did no damage.

Gohan stared in horror as 13 fired a blast "Kai! No!"

But another Ki blast deflected it upwards.

Kai breathed a sigh of relief "Thanks Piccolo."

"For thousands of years I lay dormant!" a voice thundered as Piccolo travelled underground beneath the ice and grabbed 13 by the ankles, crimson aura blazing "Who has disturbed my- Oh hey Gohan, what's up?"

Gohan shrugged "Androids."

"Neat. Mind if I take a spin?" he swung 13 around by the ankles and let go, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Oh, cause you spun him around. Clever."

"Thanks, I was practicing that one under the ice for the last half- You know what, never mind."

Then 13 came back up "Hey big green, it's Goku's boy we want so if you wanna live then just high tail it out of here."

"Same old unhealthy obsession, same old foul onetrack programming."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Vegeta met 15 in a final clash and fell to the ground in his base form "Dammit…"

15 chuckled, then his head fell off and he exploded, his 2 jewel shards falling to the ground.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Trunks drew his sword and clashed with 14 in one final strike, the resulting being Trunks' forehead bleeding slightly as he powered down to his base form.

14 charged again, but was suddenly split in two and engulfed in a fiery explosion, his scorched parts and jewel shard falling to the ground.

2 down, 1 to go.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Vegeta appeared behind 13 "Inferior craftsmanship, to say the least."

"14 and 15 have been destroyed?" 13 gave a malicious smirk "Excellent." he let out a malicious chuckle as he telepathically absorbed 14 and 15's AI chips into his skull, along with their batteries and jewel shards into his chest "How sweet it is!" with a maniacal laughter, he suddenly transformed, becoming more bulky, his hair becoming like Vegeta's his skin turning black and red, his eyes turning blood crimson.

"How sweet is this?!" Vegeta flashed into Super Saiyan and charged.

"Vegeta don't!" Gohan cried.

"I've got him Gohan, he's all mine!" Vegeta slugged 13 in the chest, to no effect "What the-?" he punched 13 in the chest repeatedly, to no avail.

Unfazed, 13 grabbed Vegeta "This is the dive of death!" he blasted Trunks away and drove Vegeta into the ground, then blasted him into a glacier. And Yamcha.

"Gohan, let me handle this. Kaioken 20X!" Piccolo unleashed the crimson aura of the Kaioken and unleashed an all-out assault on 13 with a barrage of punches and kicks.

13 wasn't fazed and blasted Piccolo into a glacier.

"Dammit!" Gohan flashed into Super Saiyan and charged.

Then 13 did something cruel, even for an android. He charged Ki into his fist and punched Gohan straight in the crotch.

Everyone but Piccolo winced at the sickening crunching noise.

13 then threw the immobile Gohan to the bottom of the glacier.

"He punched me in the dick." Gohan squeaked through the pain "Why? Why did he punch me in the dick?"

13 then began pummeling Gohan with a barrage of brutal punches and Ki blasts, eventually sending him flying into the icy sea.

"Gohan!" Kai flew onto the battlefield and fired a Masenko at 13's back "Leave him alone!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gohan floated in the icy water, barely able to move from the pain 'I've only got… one shot at this… forgive me great Zalama, but I have to use this… I've met my condition for it… this is my time… to protect the people I love!' he raised his hands 'Soar with the winds…' a crimson outline flickered around his entire body 'Crash with the waves…' the crimson outline flickered again 'Roar with the thunderclap, and blaze with the flames…' another flicker 'Fade with the darkness, and shine with the light… shatter the mountaintops and end this fight!' his hair turned golden, then orange, and a golden sphere of energy appeared below him, or above him, depending on the perspective, and it kept getting bigger.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

13 advanced on Kai "You're very brave, too bad you have to die."

Kai looked and saw Gohan rise out of the water, charging a ball of energy "Gohan…"

With a growl, 13 fired a Ki blast at Gohan.

Kai took the hit for him "Gohan… win…" then he passed out as he hit the ground with a loud thud.

Gohan continued charging 'Kai… Piccolo… Trunks… Vegeta… Kagome… everyone I know and love… please, lend me your strength so I can finish this.'

Vegeta got up and fired a feeble Ki blast at 13 "You android freak, don't even think about it!" he charged and landed several blows, none of which did any damage.

13 grabbed Vegeta and attempted to break his arm behind his back, then kneed him in the spine as hard as he could.

Trunks regained consciousness 'Gohan… Come on Trunks, they need you!' he mustered his strength and fired a Ki blast at 13's back "Hey, you big blue bastard! I'm a time-traveller from 17 years in the future, and you don't exist there! You know why? Well besides multiverse theory, it's because you die right here, by my sword!" he flashed into Super Saiyan and charged.

13 easily broke Trunks' sword, then blasted him away "I know all about Goku's Spirit Bomb, a color change doesn't make a difference! You need more time, which is something you don't have!" he prepared an SS Deadly Bomber.

"Kaioken… 30X!" Piccolo suddenly appeared, crimson aura blazing and muscles bulging, as he grabbed 13 by the waist and lifted him into the air, redirecting the blast and detonating it in mid-air.

13 then smashed Piccolo to the ground "Pathetic."

'Thank you… now let me end this!' Gohan suddenly absorbed the energy of the attack into his own body, enveloping him in a golden sphere of light.

"What're you doing?!" 13 found himself in the center of the golden sphere of light.

The light disappeared as Gohan flashed into Super Saiyan 2 once more, his hand glowing with a pure golden energy "Do you see this Android 13? The dragons… the dragons have lent me this power!" he floated upwards "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power!" he raised his hands to the sky "It's burning grip tells me to defeat you!"

13 fired an SS Deadly Bomber.

The energy of Gohan's attack cancelled it out as the energy in Gohan's hand suddenly "Take this! My love, my rage, AND ALL OF MY SORROW! DRAGON BOMBER!" he unleashed the ball of energy, engulfing 13 as it began disintegrating him.

13 could only scream "Gohan must die!" in vain as he was slowly vaporized by the blast.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The computer in Dr Gero's sub-sublab could only keep repeating "Gohan must die!" as it shut down, ending Dr Gero's ambitions forever.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When it was over, everyone on the battlefield, Piccolo, Kai, Vegeta, Trunks and Yamcha lay out cold.

Kai was the first one to regain consciousness, and found Gohan lying on his back, staring up at the sun "Hey Gohan… what's up?"

Gohan gave a pained yet triumphant grin "Me."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The group was later recovering at the hospital in West City.

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief "You're lucky you weren't all killed."

Kai shrugged "We would've been without Gohan. That was so awesome! He was brighter than the sun when he absorbed all that energy, it was amazing."

"Glad you think so." Gohan grumbled "I can't even move now."

"I'm just glad you guys got out of that alive." Kagome pecked Gohan on the cheek, causing him to dissolve into a pile of goo.

"By the way." Trunks cut in and held out his hand "Gohan found these embedded in each of the androids."

Kagome was surprised "Shikon Jewel shards?"

"Dr Gero somehow harnessed their power." Gohan muttered "It's unnerving that he'd be able to do something like that, not to mention that there are apparently more androids out there."

"Actually I had a thought about that." Kai cut in.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Trunks flashed into Super Saiyan and launched a full power Finish Buster at the rubble that used to be Dr Gero's lab, incinerating whatever may have been hidden "And that brings an end to that."
