IMMMMMMM BAAAAACK! SORRY! SORRY! I got a little caught up with the holidays, as well as my beta reader. My fault really I should have had finished early. I apologize anyway I hope you enjoy this.

More Androids

At Capsule Corporation, 17 and 18 were sitting across Bulma. It was odd for her to talk to the androids now that they're free from their programming. Part of her still had trouble believing that they were innocent, however she was nothing but a good host. It reminded of her of those when she had invited Vegeta into her home only this was even more complicated. The woman spoke of Trunks going to the past and getting the blueprints from the past version of 17. "So do you have any idea what you guys are going to do when everyone forgets what you did under Gero's control?" Bulma asked.

18 shrugged. "To be honest I have no idea."

Her brother nodded. "Same here, we haven't exactly come up with a plan."

Bulma nodded. "I know what you mean. Well your free to stay here as long as it takes for you two to find a home for yourselves."

17 shook his head. "I don't think that's a good idea."

Bulma nodded. "I know what you mean, but really it's fine."

18 closed her eyes and sighed. "Yeah but what about your son?"

The scientist gave a sigh. "I know, it's going to take him a while to trust you, but believe me he'll understand with time."

"Well the only one who seems to trust us is you, and we're not sure why," 18 stated putting her tea down. "You said something about his father not being an honest man either. What was he like? I mean he must have done something that made you ok with trusting us."

Bulma frowned and sighed. "Well Dr Gero already gave you data on him. His name was Vegeta."

The twins' eyes widened at that. They knew Trunks was Bulma's son, but they had no idea his father was someone like Vegeta. 17 was the first to revert to an emotionless expression. "I'm sorry, I was the one who..."

The blue haired woman raised her hand. "It's fine, it wasn't your fault." She looked to 18. "Either of you."

18 looked to Bulma's eyes and over to 17. For once 17 wasn't being a sarcastic asshole like usual, and she was glad for it. 'So Vegeta was Trunks's father; he certainly has more of his looks than his mother and he doesn't seem to be as cocky.' Then again Trunks didn't quite get to know him in this timeline, just another thing for Trunks to hate them for.

18 decided to ask something else. "But what I don't understand is if the dragon balls can bring everyone back to life, then why haven't seen Vegeta, Gohan or anyone else around?"

The scientist sighed sadly at that. "The thing is the dragon balls have limits. They can only bring back the dead in the last year. Since Vegeta and the others were already killed years ago, that becomes out of the dragon balls reach. It's my fault really if I had thought of it the year they died maybe we could have stopped all of this."

17 and 18 went silent after that. 18 was having a hard time taking everything in, that she and her brother were responsible for the death of Bulma's friends and Trunks's father. She opened her mouth but was interrupted by a loud robotic voice.

"Bulma, 17 and 18!"

Bulma raised an eyebrow at the outburst. He hadn't spoken the entire time and now he was yelling? "We're coming 16,"

The three entered the lab to see 16 looking to the side with the wires still in his head. "Trunks is in danger."

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Trunks glared up at Android 13. "This is impossible."

Android 13 smiled down at his target. "Now I bet you weren't expecting more androids. Sorry we would have revealed ourselves sooner, but we didn't want to risk your defective buddies interfering."

The Saiyan looked at 14 and 15, then back up to 13. "How is this possible? I destroyed the super computer so there's no way any of you should be here!"

13 frowned at that. "Believe me, I know, boy. 'Cause of you my boys and I weren't awake right away. The computer managed to complete our designs, but it was destroyed at the last second before we would have been turned on." A smile spread across his face again. "But Dr Gero's spybot was kind enough to make an alarm after your ma came in the lab. Shame it took a while otherwise I would have made sure she couldn't make remotes for my kind."

Trunks glared at the Red Ribbon redneck. "Well you should know something, I know everything about you guys so I'm afraid I'm not going to go down as easily as you say I am."

The robot chuckled. "Well if it was easy for Dr Gero's side project Cell to kill ya it should be easy for us."

The half human raised an eyebrow at this. "Cell?"

The grey haired android sneered. "You telling me Dr Gero's favorite house pet didn't tell you his name?I suppose he didn't have any manners in him; I'm surprised the good doctor gave as much thought as he did into that thing when he already made his strongest android here," he said pointing at himself.

"Cell?" Trunks wondered what the machine was talking about, when he remembered something. The insectoid creature with a stinger-like tail that killed him. "You mean that giant insect thing?"

13 laughed as he heard the creature's description. "You got that right city slicker." The Android frowned as he thought this whole thing out. "Though I do seem to have a case of curiosity, how exactly did you survive? The spybots that woke us up gave us some contradicting data; they spotted you when you died and again when you were amongst the living. Care to tell how you came back from the dead?"

The lone warrior cursed when he learned of the creature's origin was. Who could have guessed he was another android created by the mad scientist? 'I'll look into that later.' The Saiyan smiled. "That's for me to know."

The Android smiled again. "Well I suppose we best get to fightin' now."

Trunks took a stance and transformed into his Super Saiyan state. He looked at the two androids floating a few feet away from him, and back up to 13. "What's wrong android, afraid to fight me one on one?"

13 chuckled at that. "Don't be foolish with your 30 zeni haircut. Why bring out the chief if you cant handle the Indians?" The android crossed his arms. "Now I know we haven't been programmed to kill you long. I mean just a while ago we were meant to target Goku but, the computer managed to rewrite our programming to target you instead since he caught a case of dead. Hopefully you and your instant hair dye will put up a fight, get him boys!"

Android 14 and 15 charged at Trunks who formed an X with his arms, blocking the duo's attacks.

Trunks cringed as he tried to block both of the androids. His plan failed; he was hoping 13 would fight him alone first so he could destroy him then move on with the other two in order to prevent him from fusing with the other androids. 'Great.' 15 punched him in the face, 14 punched him in the gut and 15 threw his balled fists at the half human's back, sending him crashing to the ground.

The Saiyan tried to get up but 14 tackled him to the ground. The silver skinned android head-butted him and landed multiple punches to his face. He smashed one last hard punch to Trunks's jaw. Trunks growled in anguish and blasted 14 in the face, forcing him off of him. Trunks then blocked an elbow from the shorter 15 and punched him away, then jumped an energy attack from 14.

'I have to think of something now.' Trunks thought in panic. He was aware that he was no match for the three androids. He was able to beat 14 in the past, however he didn't know how he would fare against 15 who managed to force his father to revert to his normal state, or 13 who was able to fight on par with Goku before the android transformed. Not to mention they didn't exactly fight fair.

The Super Saiyan looked at the two androids then over to 13, who had his arms crossed with an arrogant smile on his face. 'I'll have to catch him off guard.' He thought as he looked to see 14 and 15 coming for him. Trunks threw a punch only for it to get caught by 15, then a haymaker from 14 sent him crashing against a boulder.

Trunks blocked a kick from 14 and took a kick from 15, sending him crashing against a boulder. Both 14 and 15 aimed one hand at Trunks and fired a joined white energy ball. The Saiyan got out of the crater and flew straight up as the blast exploded against the boulder. The warrior thrust his arms forward, then crossed them, threw them up multiple times then turned around aiming his hands at Android 13. "Burning Attack!" The yellow ball of energy flew towards the robot.

13's eyes widened with surprise as he jumped into the air to avoid the moutain below him, where he had stood only seconds eariler, exploded as it took Trunks's attack. The grey haired robot looked to Trunks. "Well boy, you seem to be in a hurry to die."

Trunks cursed, he was hoping to destroy 13 in order to prevent him from getting to fuse with the other androids' parts.

The android smiled at Trunks. "Well now I'd be impolite if I don't oblige." He said as he spread his arms apart, forming a red energy ball in between.

14 and 15 charged at Trunks from behind. The Super Saiyan turned around to block both of the machines. 15 landed a punch to his gut, and 14 slammed his arm across his face sending, him flying towards 13.

The leader of trio released his blast. "S.S. Deadly Bomber!" The giant red blast came towards Trunks.

'NO!' The warrior thought.

The S.S. Deadly Bomber suddenly flew upwards and a shadowy figure caught Trunks's body.

He heard a feminine voice. "Are you alright?"

Trunks's eyes opened and looked over his shoulder to see 18 holding him by his waist. T

he Saiyan was shocked that one of the cyborgs saved him. He shook her grip off of him and turned around to look at her. "I'm fine," he said coldly.

18 nodded and turned to see 17 floating where the blast was.

13 glared angrily at the twins for interfering with their ambush. "You two best be leaving unless you want an ass whooping too!"

17 smirked and spoke in a mock western accent. "Howdy kids I'm Android 13 look at my trucker hat!"

"Hey you respect your elders boy!"

Trunks was surprised that both of the androids came to save him, however that didn't make the situation less dangerous. They needed to destroy 13 now.

The raven haired cyborg smirked and looked over to Trunks. "You're welcome," he said cockily, earning a glare from Trunks as well as his sister. "I'll handle the redneck, you two handle the other rejects."

Trunks looked over to 14 and 15. "Never thought I'd be teaming up with you two."

18 said nothing and looked to the two other androids and got into her stance. "I thought you old types would have been destroyed by now."

15 put his hands in his pockets and set his sights on 18. "Defect!"

13 floated as did 17. "It's about time I teach you some respect boy!"

17 smirked as he rolled his sleeves up. "Teach me."

Trunks charged at Android 14 ready to fight him. The young warrior would have to keep him

busy while 17 destroyed 13.

And so the battle between Trunks, the cyborgs and the three androids began.

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Bulma was sitting all worried next to 16's lab table. 'This mess just doesn't end, now there are three more androids. Just how many did Dr Gero make?' "Oh this just get's worse and worse."

16 began to speak. "There is nothing to fear, 17 and 18 made it to Trunks's location."

The scientist sighed in relief, knowing her son was going to be alright. "Just how strong are the other androids? Can they win?"

The mechanical fighter smiled. "According to my sensors 17 and 18 have no problem at defeating the three of them without Trunks's assistance."

"That's great to hear, but still I think you should have gone with them just in case," Bulma said with a sad look.

16 frowned as he looked up at the ceiling. "That is not recommended. I can still feel my programming commanding me to destroy Trunks. I need time in order for my programming to fade away."

The blue haired woman nodded with the robot in agreement. "I guess you're right, it is for the best. Still, I can't shake the worry away." She looked out the window hoping her son would make it out alive, and also worried for the androids who just got their second chance.

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Trunks caught the hands of Android 14 and in a struggle with him. The silver skinned Android gave an emotionless face as he was being pushed back. "You will be destroyed one way or the other."

The Super Saiyan cringed as he glanced over to 17's battle with 13. The cyborg was only toying with his opponent. "Damn it, 17 hurry up and destroy him now!"

17 swayed another punch from 13 and punched him across the jaw, sending him flying. The cyborg looked over to Trunks. "Oh relax we have this in the bag, you should focus on your opponent."

Trunks glared over to 14. "Cocky bastard!" Even without the programming 17 was still toying with his opponents. The android head-butted the distracted warrior and punched his stomach. The Saiyan returned the favor with a fast elbow to 14's face, sending him flying. The time traveler was holding back some of his strength in order to give 17 time to destroy 13 before it was too late.

18 easily swayed every attack android 15 threw and returned them with rapid blows. Android 18 landed a rush of punches and kicks, sending him flying against a boulder. The purple Android looked worse for wear, his mechanical eye and brain case visible for all to see. 18 was only missing her jacket from her earlier battle with Android 16.

15 tried to get up, but his head fell off of his shoulders and he was destroyed save for a few parts on the ground.

18 looked over to see 17 trading blows with Android 13. No doubt her brother was toying with the android since he was wearing that smug look. She then turned to see how Trunks was doing; he appeared to be winning against the synthetic android, however for some reason he appeared to be holding back. His attacks looked slower than usual, but that could have been because she and her brother got to their full power and everything seemed slower than usual. 17 was the type to hold back, but not Trunks. So why?

Trunks kept blocking every attack 14 threw at him, It was just like his battle with 14 in the past, only this time Trunks didn't have his sword. However it was only a matter of time before he would run out of energy. He could only sustain his transformation for so long, while the androids had infinite energy and could fight forever if necessary.

The two seemed evenly matched, and Trunks could have destroyed him a couple minutes ago. The android landed a hard right hook and kicked the Saiyan's stomach. Thuuud!

Trunks was sent skidding across the floor; he got up and looked over to 17, glaring as he continued to hold back. "17 you need to finish him off now if you don't-" 14 interrupted Trunks with a kick to his face.

17 looked down at Trunks as he deflected the energy blasts from 13. He looked over to 18. "You might want to help him out."

18 tucked her hair behind her hair. "Whatever just finish the redneck off." She said as she flew over to Trunks.

"Yeah yeah," 17 replied as he caught a fist and he glanced over to 13. 'It wouldn't kill me to have a little fun.' Perhaps it would have been better if Bulma hadn't brought them to full power. The cyborg backhanded 13 away from him. 'Still I'm surprised he has this much power, nothing like 16's but still he might have given 18 a run for her money before the strength increase.'

Trunks was knocked away with a punch to his face. 14 aimed his hands towards his prey, and smiled as if he were about to land a finishing blow. The Super Saiyan stood up and crossed his arms, ready to block the next blow.

The Android was interrupted with a punch that went through his stomach. 14 looked down and turned around to see Android 18 with her arm through his back.

18 smiled. "Sorry about that." She said as she pulled her arm back and aimed her palm to his face, blasting his head off.

Trunks was again surprised that this cyborg came to save him, but was then brought back to reality when he realized something. Both Android 14 and 15 had been destroyed. Without another word, Trunks flew up.

Android 18 looked up as he flew and sighed. "This is going to take a while," she said as she flew after him.

Android 13 was getting angry as he kept failing to land a good hit on his opponent. The android landed a swift hook on 17, only he did not make a sound and turned to smirk at 13.

The male cyborg chuckled a little. "You really are just a piece of junk after all."

The grey haired android cringed as he looked at the smug look on 17's face. Then he turned to see Trunks and Android 18.

Trunks looked over to 17. "17 you need to finish him off now!"

"Man, would you chill out? This is easy, just sit back and watch." 17 stated looking back at the android. "So, you ready for round two?"

Trunks growled at him.

13 looked around to find out that 14 and 15 were nowhere to be found. "14 and 15 have been destroyed?" The android then laughed as small parts came to him.

17 raised an eyebrow. "What is he doing?"

18 couldn't help but be curious as well. His allies were destroyed so what could he do?

The Super Saiyan knew full well what was happening and refused to allow it. Trunks did his trademark arm movements and launched a Burning Attack at the robot. The attack hit dead on, covering him with smoke.

The male cyborg glanced over at Trunks. "What's gotten into you?"

Trunks said nothing, looking to down to see if there were any scrap parts falling. There were none, and hopefully Trunks at least destroyed the parts that 13 was trying to absorb. "You really should have destroyed him, if I hadn't done that we would have been in serious trouble."

17 smiled. "Yeah right, 16 may be stronger than us but these three guys are nothing."

The half Saiyan looked over to see the smoke clear and was shocked to find a red barrier surrounding 13. "Oh no!" Trunks shouted in frustration. 13 laughed as his skin began to turn blue, his hair growing spikey and becoming red. His body became bigger.

Both the twins were shocked as the android was transforming. 18 was the first to speak. "What is going on?"

17 shook his head. "The hell is this?"

Trunks glared over to the male cyborg. "It's what I was trying to warn you about! He absorbed the parts of Androids 14 and 15, you should have destroyed him when you had the chance!"

The enhanced human smiled. "Oh come on it can't be that bad, 18 easily destroyed both of them. Even you might have been able to destroy 14 if you hadn't been so busy trying to bark orders."

18 decided to break up the argument. "We'll have to find out."

The three looked over to Super Android 13. The fused Android shot a beastly smile over at Trunks and the twin cyborgs. "How's about a second round?"

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Android 16 had a serious face as he scanned the powers of those fighting. Two of the androids' powers disappeared, but one seem to have increased.

Bulma caught the frown 16 was making. "What is it 16, did they win?"

Without feeling he spoke. "Negative, the android has gained power. He will be too much for the three of them."

The scientist bit her lip at this. "Are you sure you can't resist your programming?"

The robot was silent and reached his right hand for the wires attached to his head. One by one he pulled them off as he sat up. "I should be able to resist my impulses." He began to stand up as Bulma stepped out of his way.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

16 turned to face her. "I will. I would like to make up for what I have done, and this is a mistake I must correct." He said as he walked away.

Bulma wanted to ask but the Android was already out of the lab. "Please make it back here."

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Trunks, 17, and 18 looked at their enemy. This monstrous transformation of the android looked lethal. Only Trunks was aware of the power of this robot.

17 smirked at him. "Hmph, I'll make this quick," he said as he flew towards 13.

18 looked to 17. "Wait 17!"

The raven haired cyborg made a swift kick to 13's cheek, which only moved him slightly. 17's eyes widened at this. "What?"

Super Android 13 smiled at his prey.

17 growled in annoyance and threw a barrage of punches at the behemoth Android. However he only took the blows as they slightly moved his face but didn't cause much damage, if any at all. Having enough of that, the brute android caught 17's wrists and slammed the cyborg's body on the ground, creating a crater.

18 flew in to interfere, but 13 threw a red energy blast at her, knocking her back.

Trunks kicked 13's back, but the android didn't budge. Trunks glared out of anger; 13 was just as strong as his past counterpart.

13 knocked out 17 with a hard punch and turned around to see Trunks. He grinned in anticipation. "Gah! Trunks!"

The Saiyan kicked his throat and punched him multiple times, however not one attack made him flinch. The red haired robot punched Trunks's face and roared as he ran by his enemy, throwing punches as Trunks was propelled. 13 then threw a final punch, sending Trunks skidding across the ground. The Super Saiyan reverted back to his normal state.

Trunks cringed as he fought to stay conscious. 'Nothing I do ends this nightmare,' he thought as he opened his eyes, seeing a blur. Trunks got up on one knee, his vision slowly coming back to normal. He could see a big red energy ball between Super 13's arms.

13 was about to toss the attack when he was kicked to the side by 17, sending the blast forward. At the last moment before the blast was going to hit him, 18 grabbed Trunks and got him out of the way.

Android 18 got on one knee and looked down at Trunks. "Trunks, are you ok?"

Trunks only grunted in pain, his eyes were still closed. 18 hated looking at Trunks like that; it reminded her of what happened after almost every battle they had when she and 17 were under Dr Gero's control. She looked over to 13 who was giving a beating to 17.

Super Android 13 laughed like a mad man as he pounded punch after punch into 17. 13 then grabbed 17's white undershirt and slammed him to the ground, before lifting the cyborg up to face 13. "Aw what's the matter boy, got nothing else to say?"

Android 17 opened his eyes and glared into the yellow eyes of 13. "You're tough for a redneck reject." He then chuckled.

"Still got some fire in ya, well some more pain ought to fix that!" 13 then pressed his hand against 17's stomach, but was interrupted with a kick to the back of his head that made him stumble and lose his grip on 17.

The male cyborg kicked up at 13's chin, and 18 slammed into his back, sending 13 flying. The female cyborg looked over to 17. "We can't win like this. We'll have to attack him in the same place at the same time." 17 nodded, knowing that neither one of them could defeat this Android on their own. 13's attacks were harder and faster than 16's; their bodies only took a few of his attacks and already they felt intense pain.

Super Android 13 got up and smiled at the twins. "Hahaahaha! Get ready to die!"

Android 17 and 18 flew at the brute at full speed. They both threw a punch aiming for their opponent's face only for their hands to be caught by both of his hands. Then right away they thrusted both their palms into the robot's face and blasted a joint energy blast. Unfortunately the attack didn't do well.

13 threw both of the cyborgs' bodies up like rag dolls and slammed them into the ground. He grinned as he looked down on them, before he turned to look at his preferred target, Trunks. The lone warrior was still their unconscious on the ground, waiting to be annihilated. The android would have gladly finished off both 17 and 18 right then, however his programming demanded that he finish Trunks off for good, then move on to destroying the rest of the world along with any who would stand in his way. The robot spread his arms apart, concentrating his S.S. Deadly Bomber.

"Hahahaha!" 13 laughed maniacally. However a detached fist with a green gauntlet sent him skidding across the ground. The android snarled after being caught off guard again just before he would have finished his target off.

Floating a few feet in front of him was Android 16, attaching his hand to his right arm. "Hello Android 13."

Super Android 13 chuckled at what he saw. "Well as I live and breathe, Android 16! So good of ya to come all this way, that saves me the trouble of finding ya."

16 looked to see Trunks's unconscious form, and then over to 17 and 18. He was glad to see he made it in time. "Had I known you were capable of this much power I would have located you and destroyed you earlier when you were activated."

13 chuckled at that. "So ya did know my boys and I were around. I was wondering why you hadn't come after us after all, your sensors are more advanced than my own." He looked at him with a hideous grin. "I been thinking, see this power I get from my boys is nice but I would like to see what would happen if I were to fuse with you too."

16's expression hadn't changed at this. "You will be disappointed to know that it will not happen."

"Hahahahaha, you're malfunctionin' if ya think I can't take your parts!" The brute Android got into a stance.

Android 16 flew straight at 13 with a fist cocked back. For Android 13, he saw 16 coming at a snail's pace. He smirked as he was about to throw a punch only to get interrupted by two kicks to the back of his head, making him stumble forward. "Wha-"

Right away the mohawked Android punched 13, sending him flying. Both 17 and 18 appeared side by side in front of 16 and blasted a barrage of energy at 13. 17 looked over to 16. "So you came to help us after all?"

"I apologize, I did not predict this outcome." 16 stated in his monotone voice.

18 said nothing as she looked through the smoke. "Do you think we got him?"

16 kept his serious expression. "Negative, he is not destroyed."

The smoke cleared and Super Android 13 was standing like nothing happened. "We're just gettin started!"

18 and 17's combined blast's didn't leave a mark on 13. 17 looked over to 16. "You wouldn't happen to know what chances we have at winning?"

16 looked at 13. "Our chances are best if the four of us fight together. If Trunks were to wake up we may have a chance."

The female cyborg glanced at 16. "And if he doesn't?"

16 crossed his arms to form an X. "We must survive before then, otherwise the three of us will be destroyed."

Android 13 looked at his three opponents. It was a shame that only one of them was completely mechanical. With the power 13 had now combined with 16's he would truly be Dr Gero's greatest creation-not that bioengineered freak Cell, even if he were to become complete.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year! So I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I do apologize for the agonizing waiting. I do have the next chapter completed it only needs to be beta read so that it can be the best it can be.

Now for reviewers.

Nox- I haven't forgotten don't worry lol.

clark- Thank you I try. :)

Guest- Thank you.

anonymous- Thank you for the compliment. Also thank you for respecting my choice.

shadowwriter01- That could very well be. But I always thought Trunks managed to shut down the Androids before Goku recovered from the heart virus, preventing any reason to use the Hyperbolic time chamber. Well regaurdless your theory is logical and possibly true.

Sam- Thank you. I understand what your saying, I don't mean to argue it's just, I want people to understand my reasoning for this. And thank you for respecting my choice.
