While obvious I'll say it, dying sucks.

There are millions of ways to die. Ran over by a car, murder, natural causes, unnatural causes, and many others.

As for me, I'd die from embarrassment if I hadn't already. Death by banana peel, off the stairs. How sad.

As you'd expect when a person dies they go somewhere. Here it's just dark, as if I was sleeping. And seeing as my eyes certainly felt shut right, that may be right.

So where the hell am I? Am I in a tube or something?

"Hello, my creation. This is your creator speaking, I am Doctor Gero. If you are hearing this then your growth is complete. Your primary objective is to become perfect. You will achieve this by absorbing Androids 17 and 18. Everything else that you need to know should already be imprinted by now." Then the recording stopped.

This just confirmed where I am. The world of Dragon Ball. Neat.

As I walk out of the tube all I see are ruins. Damn it I'm in the future timeline. Might as well make the best of this.

Feed.

What?

You must feed. You are weak. To feed is to gain strength.

Alright then I'll find some animals, they should be fine.

They will do, for now.

For that, I gotta get out of here then. So where is the exit? Amongst the wreckage, I see a hole in the ceiling. I jump but find myself unable to reach.

Fly.

Oh yeah. You can in this world. But how the fuck do I do that?

Think of it.

Ok. 'Fly'

Holy shit it worked!

Of course. Now escape.

I float towards the hole. I punch around it to make it bigger.

Good. Now find sustenance.

Once I'm outside all I can see are mountains. At least I don't have to worry about the androids or Gohan.

There should be some animals around here.

Sense

Ok got it. 'Sense'

Eagle

Power Level: 4

Ha! I found some birds in the sky. About ten of them. And they're weak too. So all I have to do is kill them and-

No. You do not feed. Not like them. No need to, not yet at least. You feed by absorbing.

But how?

Simply let your tail do its function. All you need to do is provide it with sustenance. Use your Ki.

I get what it means. I aim my hand at them. 'Shoot Ki Blast'

*BOOM*

The blast hits its mark as all ten eagles hit the ground. I run over to where they landed.

Good. Now feed. Let your tail do the rest.

My tail moves to the birds as it opens up. It takes them as they move down my body.

DAMN! What was that!? Whatever it was it felt good.

It is what happens when you feed. When you feed you gain strength and pleasure. The higher the power level, the more you earn.

Oh yeah, power levels. Speaking of them, what's mine?

Bio-Mech Android #1

Power Level: 30,000,009

Wow. That's pretty insignificant. I mean I'd destroy everyone in Dragon Ball, the Saiyan Saga, and almost everyone n the Frieza Saga. However, after that, I'd be cannon fodder compared to the later ones.

The Androids were stronger than Frieza in his final form and he was in the millions. Gohan was stronger and then there's the Androids. I'm not even gonna mention the ones after that.

If you wish to gain strength then you must feed.

Oh wow like I didn't hear that before. I get it Cell got stronger from eating people. But could I even do that?

Yes, you can. You are stronger than those worms. You could destroy this entire planet if you wished. You should have no pity for those lesser life forms.

Sure, but I dont want to go through the effort of maintaining secrecy, it'd be pretty tedious to do when they're likely not many humans left.

Besides, am I not part Saiyan and whatever Frieza is?

You contain the DNA of the Saiyans: (Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Vegeta) and UNKNOWN RACE: Alien #1 and Alien #2

Great! Now I could just find wherever Kami's Lookout is and assuming that the Tome Chamber is still there, just train my ass off.

Location known as Kami's Lookout is destroyed.

Damn, but it makes sense. That place would likely be one of the first places that the Androids destroyed.

Ok, so hardcore grinding isn't an option. What now?

Not going to Gohan since that'd just drag me into his fights with #17 and #18. I don't know which version of Dragon Ball this is and each version has Gohan at different levels of strength. He's either on par with #17 or way below him. And with my power level I doubt I could do much to help out.

Joining #17 and #18 likely won't work for me either. Sure I could just stay close until I get an opportunity to absorb them, but I doubt that they'd trust me so easily. Android I may be, I'm not their actual sibling.

There is no need to join them to gain a chance at absorbing them. At becoming PERFECT.

Really, why not?

Just deactivate them.

That was an option?

Androids #17 and #18 were rebellious and not likely to accept becoming one with PERFECTION, so Dr. Gero saw fit to include a deactivation signal for them within you.

Wow, that is incredibly convenient! Sucks for OG Cell that he never came with this!

Though that does beg the question, where the hell do I find those Androids?

*BOOM*

What the hell was that?!

That explosion was far too powerful to be natural or man made, it had to be a result of either the half Saiyans or Androids.

Ki Explosion

Source recognized: Android #17

'Sense direction of Ki Explosion, then fly towards it, conceal Ki signature'

My body then rises into the air and moves as my mind had directed it. Not the most optimal way of using this body but I'm still not too used to using Ki like it's second nature so this will have to do for now.

It takes some time to get there since I'm not going at my top speed, but it's better that way so I can remain undetected. After all, I don't know what's going on over there or what reaction any of them may have, so best not to clue Gohan to my existence just yet.

Once I land my eyes instantly lock on to the Androids, to some relief I notice that Gohan is absent. Though it's because the man isn't here yet, is recovering, or dead remains to be seen. Still, it'd be better to act while he isn't around to interfere.

Right now they're just fucking around by killing a bunch of humans. It's a waste of their abilities and time really, how they don't get bored of doing this shit for seventeen years is astoundingly stupid!

Whatever, I guess I'll do humanity a favor and put these two out of commission. But first I need to get close while hidden. I don't want to get atomized by mistake after all.

Stealth is a skill you possess, it is a necessity for absorption. Helpful against the weak, needed against threats.

Useful to know, and useful to do.

'Sneak to a close and hidden position near Android #17'

Like earlier, my body moves as my mind orders it to. Now it's best that I deactivate #17 first, him being the strongest means that he's also the fastest and most likely to end me if he wanted to.

'Deactivate both Androids!'

Unable to deactivate both at once. You only contain a deactivation signal for each of them.

Super inconvenient but better than nothing!

'Deactivate #17!'

As soon as I order it, #17's body instant ceases all action and falls to the ground motionless.

"What the hell?!" Android #17 cried out in shock.

"Seventeen?! What's with you?!" Android #18 asked in alarm.

"I don't know! I was fine one moment and suddenly I couldn't move anymore! It was like… like being deactivated!" #17 said, fear and uncertainty laced in his words.

"I swear that if this is Gohan or Bulma's behind this then I'm killing them, no matter how amusing their struggling used to be!" #18 threatened with rage, about to fly and likely begin to search for either.

"By all means, go ahead. Just don't forget to reverse this first!" #17 yelled, his fear giving way to anger as well.

Not so fast little lady, can't have you going off too soon!

'Deactivate #18'

With my second command, she fell out of the sky just as motionless yet aware as her brother.

"No!" Both cried out in horror. With the both of them defenseless, they knew that it would be the end of them.

Both Androids have been deactivated.

Why are they still conscious? Won't that be a risk?

Dr. Gero wanted them to be aware of their helplessness. As punishment for their rebellious nature against him. Now is the moment at hand to absorb them and finally become PERFECT.

Yes, now is the time.

I don't bother with stealth anymore as I walk, my footsteps now audible as they step on the ruined city roads.

Despite such a thing being completely unnecessary, I keep on walking slow yet loud. Due to my heightened senses, I could hear their heartbeats. They're afraid.

Good Good

Let them have a taste of what these people have been forced to feel. Let their final moments be full of fear, let them die as helplessly as any other human had.

"You… you're not Gohan! What the hell are you?!"

"Hello, brother." I greeted.

"What?!"

"And hello to my beautiful sister!" I greet before rasping out with my tongue.

"Oh fuck no!"

"Why are you doing this?!" #17 demanded.

"Just like you two, I was an Android built by Dr. Gero."

"Don't tell me that this is revenge for that bastard!" He shouted, enraged at the thought of the good doctor.

"No, I care nothing for our creator. Though the deactivation signals he has provided me with and what m about to do to you can be considered an act of post-mortem revenge."

"Even from beyond the grave that bastard still fucks us over!" #17 cursed with bitterness. "If you're not here for revenge, then what the hell do you want?"

"Simple. I was built with one goal in mind. PERFECTION. To accomplish this, I need to absorb the two of you. Rejoice, for you will be elevated to a level far beyond what you deserve, even if you won't be aware for any of it."

"You can't fucking do this!" #17 cried out.

"Of course I can bitch, I drink people. Besides, why not? It was what I was made to do after all, to achieve, to ascend. A far more worthwhile purpose than the waste you made of yourselves. All that power, all that potential, and yet for seventeen years you've only used it to hunt down those infinitely your lesser in strength."

"We'll stop killing humans! We got the message, crystal clear! Just let us go!" #18 pleaded. I wonder how many have begged like this before them.

"You have more value paralyzed and helpless than you do fully mobile. You have nothing to offer me beyond your bodies, which I'm already taking. Prepare for PERFECTION, my siblings."

'Absorb #17'

My tail moves to obey that command, the stinger opening up as it began to suck #17 inside. Much to their chargen, but who cared what they thought?

Their thoughts are irrelevant.

"It can't end like this! I'm the strongest in the world damnit! It can't end like th-!" Were #17's last words before he ceased to be. Before he now became a part of me.

Initializing transition to : Semi-Perfect

YEEESS! YES.

My Imperfect form glowed as my metamorphosis began and my body shifted. I had evolved.

This… this was far beyond what I could have gained from absorbing lesser life forms, be it animals or humans. Both the high I've attained and the boost in power. Sure this may be nothing compared to what comes after my initial PERFECTION, but I possess both the potential and knowledge to easily surpass that.

Yet, despite the feeling that came attached, I still feel ugly as fuck. But hey, it's nice having lips again.

Once the sound of my euphoric and maniacal laughter along with the sound of my bio-electricity died down, I heard sobbing. Sobbing.

Usually, it's a shame to hear such a pretty voice in sorrow, yet for this woman, this shallow shell of a far better person from the past, I'll make an exception.

It makes me wonder how often she heard such a thing before laughing or mocking the person before they died, before she killed them. Oh how karma is a bitch, ain't it?

"Y-you said that we… I had nothing to offer but my body, right? Well, clearly you think I'm beautiful-"

"Oh, you certainly are, physically at least." I interrupt. Oh, she seems to think that she has a chance at bargaining with me, that I'd give up PERFECTION just to get laid, how quaint. Unfortunately for her, I'm not Krillin. "Though this version of your personality is utter trash, to be honest if I had genitals the sight of you, so utterly powerless and desperate, would send me raging and I'd take you right then and there. But alas, it isn't meant to be." She bristled at the truth that I spoke at her before giving in to impotent rage once she realized that her last gambit wouldn't work.

"Damn you! Damn you and Gero straight to hell!"

"If it's any consolation to you, that is where Gero is. And besides, you'll be reunited with your brother soon. You'll both become a part of PERFECTION."

'Absorb #18'

#18 continued to spew out every curse and hateful word in the book at me while my tail did to her what it did to her brother. The sound of such words would crush most men, but I was only euphoric.

I'm going to become PERFECT!

Initializing transition to: PERFECT

My body began one last metamorphosis as my inferior form was being discarded and elevated to heights I've only recently dreamed of. And the transition was so much than before.

My power was overflowing as it flowed out from me, bio-electricity crackling in an intensity far beyond what a storm could hope to achieve. And as I yelled in euphoria and my power burst forth, the whole world felt it.

I had become Perfect

I am Perfect.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This was something I had on my Google docs for a long time. Though there wasn't much past 500 words, but I managed to beef a story out of it after a bit of a late nighter. Not much happened here so it can be considered a prologue to an actual story. Hope you enjoy and leave me your thoughts.
