A/N: I must apologize beforehand, I'm not that good at writing fight scenes and since the next chapter is going to be practically all battle, I've somewhat dreaded writing this chapter...I shall try my best, but I apologize if it isn't to good...
Disclaimer: Oh right...I have to have this don't I?
The Z fighters never expected this fight would take such a nose dive, even before the battle began. How would they fight the women that they loved?
"As I've told you before, there is no way you are going to win this battle. I hope you realize how futile this is for you." Dr. Mad Max laughed as the expressions of the Z fighters grew angrier with each word he said. He was surely going to enjoy this next battle.
"You're going to pay for this." Goku nearly growled at the scientist.
"Enough talking. Now is the time to pay Goku." Cell said loudly with an overly confident tone.
The Z fighters figured that the majority of the androids would be easy to take out, though some they knew would be somewhat troublesome.
Sensing that the battle was only a short moment away, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Gotenkshan turn into Super Saiyan twos, while Goku jr. and Vegeta jr. both turn into super saiyans.
The androids realize now is the time to party and, having decided earlier who gets to fight who, they rush towards their opponent, seemingly overly cocky.
The Z-Fighters manage to block the android's first blows, but soon realize that this had been planned as they realize who they have to fight.
The now child sized Goku looks at his enemies and shakes his head.
"You may have been stronger than me before Goku..." Cell states loudly, pausing before he continues, "...but now, you don't stand a chance." Cell finishes.
"I've grown a lot stronger since the last time we fought Cell." Goku tells the overly cocky android.
"I think you've shrunk though." Cell cackles loudly, enjoying Goku's unhappy face.
"That is quite enough talking Cell." Android 15 tells the bug like android, to which Android 11 agrees as well.
"Fine...prepare to die Goku!" Cell yells before the three of them charge at the small sized saiyan, who manages to dodge all three, before releasing a ki blast at Cell and barely dodging another punch thrown by Android 15. Android 11 rushes at Goku from behind and manages to hit the small saiyan in the small of his back, sending him to the ground. Goku launches himself upwards, ramming his head into 15's stomach, sending the machine man flying backwards into a rock. Cell punches Goku in the face, catching him off guard, as 11 kicks him from below, causing Goku to fly higher into the air only to be knocked down from 15, who had recovered shortly before. Standing up quickly, Goku dodges the incoming flurry of attacks and gains some distance between him and the androids.
"Damn it…this is harder than it should be…" Goku thinks to himself, jumping to the side, barely dodging a ki-blast from Cell, "Why are they suddenly so strong?"
Krillin pushes himself off the ground and looks around for his enemy. Android 5, from behind, kicks the short man forward causing Krillin to scrape his chin on the rough and wet sand. He shoved himself into the air and shot a destructo disc where 5 had hit him, but the android was gone. Krillin shook his head, he really needed to focus. He tried to sense his enemies ki, but when he couldn't he remembered that androids don't have a ki signal.
"Man…how am I going to…" He started to say, but was cut off when 5 punched him in the face, sending him to the ground. "How am I going to beat him when I can't even land a hit…come on…think Krillin…think…"
Vegeta stared at his three opponents in shock. Androids 2 and 3 weren't going to be much of a problem, sure they were overly cocky…but Vegeta didn't think they would even warm him up. The saiyan prince turned his gaze to his last opponent, the one he knew he couldn't kill.
"Come on Darling. You're always training and fighting…so why do you seem so reluctant to fight now?" Android Bulma cooed at her husband sarcastically, causing him to growl in frustration. How was he going to fight Bulma? It was then that he realized he was the only one having to fight one of their missing wives. Pan was fighting Android Chichi and Gotenkshan was fighting Android Videl. How was that fair?
Taking advantage of his lapse in attention, androids 2 and 3 rushed at the saiyan, knocking him hard in the head, sending him to the ground at Bulma's feet. Bulma looked down at him, then smiled maliciously before stomping down on his chest a lot harder than he knew was possible from his fragile earth wife. Slightly winded, he stood and deflected a barrage of ki blasts from androids 2 and 3. Bulma wrapped her arms around his neck, and he thought back to when she would do that back before any of this craziness happened. Practically going limp against him, she fell towards the ground, chocking him with her weight. 2 and 3 took advantage of the opening and started shooting Vegeta with a flurry of ki blasts. Wrestling his wife off his neck, Vegeta rushed towards the other two androids, knocking both of them into a cliffside. Hearing something behind him, Vegeta turned around quickly, barely being able to raise his fists to block a very heavy punch from the blue haired android. He blocked most of her punches, but refused to throw one himself.
"How the hell am I going to win? I cannot kill her…yet…I don't think she would have a problem in killing me…" Vegeta thought to himself, looking at his love in desperation. This wasn't going to be easy for him.
Pulling herself out of the sand, Pan stood and quickly found her opponent. Her once very loving grandmother stood over her, staring down at her with her red glowing eyes menacingly. Dropping into her fighting stance, she barely managed to dodge a potentially nasty hit to the head.
"Grandma...why are you doing this? This isn't like you..." Pan pleaded with her, hoping to bring her sweet grandma back...to no avail.
Android C slammed her leg into Pan's side, sending the preteen into the ocean. Pan surfaces, spluttering and trying to get the salt water out of her lungs. Chichi didn't give her the time to recover though and grabbed the young girl out of the water and punched her in the gut. Pan coughed in pain and struggled to release the grip of her opponent. The grandma turned android threw Pan towards the shore, but followed her and slammed her knee into the small of her future grandaughter's back, winding the girl. Standing straight and allowing Pan to finally stand up, Android C smirked evilly at the heavily panting young woman.
"Why are you doing this?! This isn't right!" Pan yelled at Chichi when she finally got her breath back. Android C only laughed, "Why? Well, because we want to get our revenge and kill every last Z fighter."
"My grandpa is the most powerful man in the universe. He won't lose to you machines." Pan spat at the woman who looked like her grandmother, but wasn't anything like her.
"Not even Goku will be able to beat us. Not with our secret weapon." Android C told her before rushing towards Pan and sidekicking her into a rock formation.
Piccolo glanced around at the other fighters after sending his own opponents into the ocean. He knew they weren't down for the count, but he needed a quick breather to make sure the others are doing fine...and he quickly noticed that everyone was having some sort of issue with their opponent. Piccolo grimaced when he saw that Vegeta was unlucky in having to fight his wife that had been turned into an android by Max. Checking quickly on Gohan, who seemed to be holding his own rather...well as well as one could do against these monsters.
Turning his attention back on his own fight, he saw androids 1 and 6 fly out of the water and back towards the namekian.
"You didn't think you had won did you? If so, then you must know that it is futile to fight us." Android 1 sniggered cockily, cracking his knuckles in an attempt to intimidate Piccolo, which it didn't.
"No fight is futile. When working together, even three ants can take down one overly cocky dinosaur." Piccolo told them, confusing the machines who couldn't quite compute the logic of the namekian's statement.
"That is most illogical. Tiny ants cannot take down a dinosaur, even when working together." 6 tried to correct Piccolo's logic.
"Nevermind! Are we going to fight or chitchat?" Piccolo yelled, his aura flaring up...yet he noticed it wasn't going as high as it should be. He didn't have the time to try to figure out what was wrong since the androids rushed to him and he had to block the flurry of attacks.
"Something is wrong with this fight...Perhaps...the dinosaur will crush the ants...especially if we can't figure out what is truly going on." Piccolo thought to himself right before he was sent flying through a cliffside.
18 shivered in contempt as she realized that she could have easily been turned against her friends and loved ones by the son of the man who had turned her and her brother into androids...yet for some reason she wasn't.
Her opponents, 7 and 4, sneered at the blonde android. "Why are you still here 18? I figured that you would have turned tail and ran...or perhaps you want to switch to the winning team." 7 chuckled at the angry female.
"I already am on the winning team. If you honestly think that a few more androids will turn the tide of battle then you are the ones who are mistaken." 18 practically growled at them.
"You truly believe that you Z fighters will win?" 4 spat at her in both amusement and disbelief. "There is 0% chance that you will win." He tutted at her like she was a naive child.
"Shut up will you! You talk more than Vegeta does on the battlefield and believe me...that's a lot." 18 rushed at the two smack talking males and kicked 4 in the head, sending him into the sand before taking a heavy hit from 7, dazing her slightly which is more than enough to get another hit in knocking the breath out of her. 4, having recovered flys up and rams into 18 sending her flying higher up into the air where 7 slams his elbow into her back, causing her to careen to the ground, creating a crater in the sand.
18 stared up at the android in surprise. She should be a lot stronger than both of these ealier models, yet for some reason, she was being pushed around by them.
She knew right then and there...
...this wasn't a fair fight.
She didn't know if they even stood a chance against the other androids at this point and she was scared to think that they, the almighty Z fighters, may not have a cahnce to win against the bad guys this time.
But then again, they did have one thing that the androids did not.
Goku.
A/N: So this is chapter three...I guess. I apologize for not getting it up sooner and the fact that it is so short compared to the other chapters. I'm realizing I have issues writing fight scenes and since the next part of the story is all fight scenes...it is hard to get through them.
Merry Christmas everyone (or happy holidays) and I hope everyone has a happy new year!
