Hi again guys, here we are with the next chapter and the reveal of the true villain of this saga. Some of you may already know, I hope you enjoy.
Stronger through enemy's remains
Android 18 couldn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it. Trunks is dead, again only she was there to witness it. She made a scream of anguish and lifted her hands to Meta Android 13. It was painful to even use her artificial energy in her condition but she didn't care, she wanted him dead. "DIE!" She fired her infinity bullet at the Android who didn't pay any attention to her, he still had his back turned.
TAC "18" A robotic voice said.
18 stopped and looked to see 16 holding Trunks' body. Her eyes widened and her heart raced for joy. "Trunks, 16 is he alright?"
16 nodded as he placed Trunks gently beside her. "He will be fine, I got him out of the way of the explosion." He explained and looked to the direction of 13. "It would seem Android 13 has returned."
18 nodded. "He is, and he's a lot stronger than before we have to run now."
16 looked to 18. "That is not an option, he knows I took Trunks out of the way meaning he has sensors in his systems now." He explained. "Can you walk?"
18 tried to get up and shook her head angry at her pathetic state. "N-no, please take Trunks and 17 away from here." She begged.
16 kept staring to 13 as the smoke cleared. "Negative, I'm going to destroy him even if it destroys my body."
18 looked to 16. "But-"
13 cut her off with a laugh. "We'll as I live and breath, 16 I didn't think you survived." He said. "I was wondering what that other power core was, I thought it was another Android since I know I destroyed you."
16 stared at 13 with no expression. "13, I was programmed with destroying Trunks but resisted it in order to fight you perhaps you can as well, I can destroy you but have no desire to."
13 laughed at the kind hearted Android's words. "Now what can you do?" He asked rhetorically scanning the Android with his sensors. "Your no different than you were last time, also I'm not killing them because I have to, I actually enjoy it!" He said laughing.
16 looked to 18. "Once you can move take 17 and Trunks at a safe distance." He said. "Tarble is on an island in that direction." He said pointing to his right. " Stay safe."
The blonde tried to reason with him. "16 it's too dangerous, are you planning to sacrifice yourself?"
The orange haired robot looked back to 13. "If I must." He stated. "13 I wish to fight you elsewhere, I do not wish to put my comrades in danger."
The white haired robot smiled. "Why the hell should I care, I'm not letting them out of my sight!" He stated.
"You have sensors now, they wouldn't be able to get away for long." 16 said.
13 looked like he was considering it then smiled. "Fine then boy, lead the way."
16 floated off the ground and looked to 18 with a smile. "By the way it was good to see you again 18, and your brother." He stated. "You guys are...cool." He said flying away with 13 on his trail.
18 couldn't help but worry about 16, she only hoped that he knew what he was doing. The Cyborg focused her attention on Trunks and placed a hand on his cheek. "Trunks"
The warrior groaned by her touch but didn't wake.
18 sighed. "Good" She looked to 17. "Why do you men have to do stupid things." She said remembering when 17 told Tarble to take him down and no one else. She shifted her eyes back to Trunks. "And you, that was really stupid." She said but then remembered another situation.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
Trunks was in pain as a SSJ, he had his sword out and in front of him is Android 18 who didn't look the slightest bit damaged.
18 glared at the boy. "Because of you 17 is going to be in the lead, now I have to listen to his bragging until our next game." She said as she walked casually. "But maybe I'll get bonus points for getting rid of you."
Trunks charged at her and swung his sword only for it to be caught by her hand effortlessly. 18 then punched Trunks in the face sending him crashing against a ruined building. Trunks sees 18 holding the sword by the blade.
The deadly beauty swung the blade so that she was holding it by it's hilt. "Tell me boy." She said walking closer. "Was all this pain worth it, after this you won't be able to save anyone else."
The SSJ got into a defensive stance. "It doesn't matter, I'll never turn my back on people who need me." He said. "Besides either way your reign of terror will be coming to an end soon." He said thinking about the time machine, it's only a week until the time machine was fully recharged and even if he couldn't go back his mother can simply go and hopefully find the blueprints to the Androids. He hates to do that but he already knows the risk of fighting these two and as always couldn't bring himself to ignore it whenever he sensed entire populations dying. "So whether I'm dead or not Android, it doesn't matter it'll only mean I wont get to see it, and until then I'll protect as many people as possible so they can celebrate about your deaths."
18 chuckled and vanished.
Trunks was knocked out by a quick chop to the neck forcing him to revert to his normal state, the Android stabbed the sword next to his head. "I'm shaking in my boots." She said sarcastically and walking away. "Protection, what a load of garbage."
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
18 sighed at the memory, she must have resisted her programming again at that time. Or maybe it was because her altered personality wanted him alive to torture as their plaything. He's lost so much so of course he'll protect anyone who needs it, even if it was her or 17. "I guess I have more to make up for, I won't let you down Trunks." She said as she tried to stand. "Grr, 16 don't do anything stupid either."
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
16 led 13 to an island farther away from Trunks and the others. "Now it is time, 13 it is imperative that I must destroy you."
13 laughed. "Oh 16, I forgot to tell you, my new body also has a nice feature." He said chuckling. "Now I can integrate with any mechanical being like us, so now I can add your parts to my system." He explained. "Ya get it boy, now I can absorb your power and with this body withstand all of it!" He laughed.
16 didn't react from that. "This will not happen, I will destroy you and terminate your functions."
13 smirked. "That so, well I'll let you have the first move come at me from anywhere!" He said not even taking a stance, he doesn't know what 16 is thinking but whatever strategy he has won't work. His power was the same as it was a year ago, he's no match for him. "Come at me."
16 got into a stance and charged at the confident Android. The mow hawked Android was aware that at the speed he's going is at a snail pace to him, atleast right now. 'Disengage lock one.'
13 sees 16 coming slowly and was willing to let him have the first blow. After that he'd tear him apart and- Thuuud!
13's thoughts were interrupted by a surprisingly hard punch from 16, the attack sent him flying back and crashing through a boulder. The meta Android stood up allowing and glared that the attack did more damage than calculated. "What in the-" 16 appeared in front of him and threw another punch, this time Android 13 swayed it just in time and delivered his own sending 16 flying. "The hell was that?" He asked checking his sensors again seeing 16's power increased. "What the, how did that boy-" His eyes widened. "Wait a second, that, that's my old power core!" He yelled. "But how I thought it was destroyed."
16 stood up smiling. "Negative, your power core survived the explosion, perhaps by a barrier you placed however that did not stop it from simply falling out." He stated thinking back to Bulma before he got here.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
16 looked to Bulma. "Bulma if it is within your expertise, please replicate my original design and place a bomb inside me."
Bulma shook her head. "Are you crazy?!" She looked at the Android. "No way, we've lost too many people as it is."
16 smiled. "It is our best option, do not worry perhaps the dragonballs can revive a machine such as myself." He stated. "This is a way I can atone for the sins my creator has done to this world."
Bulma clenched her fists. "Dr Gero did all this not you, or 17 and 18." She said. "I am not going to place another bomb inside you, and besides I wouldn't know how to replicate it anyway but.." She thought for a moment. "Do you remember when I asked you to find and bring me any parts left from 13?"
16 nodded. "There was barely anything left, what was left of the power cores were completely damaged and unusable."
"Well not anymore."
16 looked to Bulma. "Am I to assume you have finished fixing them?"
Bulma shook her head. "Not all of them, when I didn't have the parts I needed to build another time machine I spent time to repair the power cores." She stated. "I managed to repair 13's and 14's also I tweaked them a bit so they can merge with you like they did with 13 although your body will be able to wistsand all of their power without turning into anything like Super Android 13." She stated grabbing the devices. "But I never got around to 15's, after I had the parts for the time machine I stopped completely and worked on the time machine." She said. "But I finished with these two, they can help you."
16 looked to the ceiling, symbols appearing in his eyes. "By my calculations an addition of 13 and 14's power may be enough for this threat."
Bulma nodded and got to work right away, removing 16's chest plates and trying to find places where to place them. 16 warned her that the threat has now gotten stronger, going fast as she can she managed to finish placing them. After that 16 quickly got out of capsule corp and flew at top speed. When he arrived at the scene, he sees Trunks on the ground. He sees a crystal colored version of Android 13 and he just kicked him. 16 saved Trunks by getting him out of the way just in time.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
16 looked to 13. "You cannot win, surrender and leave this planet."
13 growled and then began laughing. "You want me to leave now that I have not only you but my old parts back?" He asked. "No way I'm missing this opportunity, I'll take ur parts as well as my old design."
16 got into a stance. "Very well then I have no choice but to terminate your functions."
13 took a fighting stance as well. "Don't bet on it boy."
The two disappeared and reappeared in the air their shoulder's bashing the other. 13 started succsefully pushing the bigger Android back until 16's thought circuits gave a simple command.
'Lock 2 disengage.'
16 started succseffuly pushing his fellow Android back, he then punched 13 in the gut several times and ended it with slamming his balled fists on his head sending him downward making a crater in the island.
13 looked up, his sensors detecting something else. 'That's 14's power core now, his power's too much now.' He smirked though. 'Wait, all I got to do is get banged up again and I'll only get stronger, that boy is gonna be in the scrap yard before today's done.' The Meta-Android flew up towards 16 , the two throwing combinations of punches and kicks with 16.
16 threw a hard kick to 13's right cheek, 13 recoiled and threw a punch of his own which 16 blocked and head-butted 13. The larger Android back handed 13's legs forcing him to half flip forward and 16 threw a fast uppercut sending him to the air. The red haired Android appeared beside 13 and grabbed his head and flew downward as 13 screamed out to him to let go. 13's head was slammed down to the ground by 16's larger fist creating another crater, 16 looked down at 13 as he took off his arms and aimed his handless wrist down at him.
"Hell Flash!" 16 shouted he hoped as he blast a powerful yellow energy wave which threatened to destroy the island. The Android looked down at the damaged part of the island he destroyed, his sensors were active looking for 13. That blast may have been powerful but he detected him disapeearing a fraction before his blast would have hit him.
"Surprise!"
16 turned around to see a giant S.S. Deadly Bomber heading for him, the Android floated upwards but the attack followed him as he flew.
13 laughed as he concentrated on another. "Here's another!" Indeed another S.S. Deadly Bomber was heading for 16, one was behind him and the other was heading toward him. The silent giant stopped and put one hand on each. "Hahaha, as if that'll help ya!" 13 placed his arms in front of him as he tried to concentrate on another.
16 sees 13 preparing another Deadly Bomber attack on him, thinking fast the Android placed both of the attacks I front of him.
13 stopped. "What in hell is he doing?"
16's hands dethatched and flew with both S.S. Deadly bombers in each toward 13.
13 was then blasted by two of his own attacks, a giant crimson explosion came coloring the skies in it's light.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
18 looked to the sky, she looked at the explosion that colored brilliantly in it. 18 had managed to take Trunks and 17 to where Tarble was. She sees that he still has a broken arm, she can't carefully take him while bringing 17 and Trunks. The thought of Tarble or anyone losing an arm made her sick, so she decided to wait until 17 or Trunks wakes up.
The Cyborg could see the fight from where she was and she was astonished. 16 was fighting 13 and winning. He had used 13's own attacks against him, that's pretty humiliating. "I don't know how your did it, but you won 16." She said smiling.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
16 waited there with his sensors searching for 13, he detected it disappearing but by his calculations those attacks shouldn't have been enough to destroy him. The red haired Android kept looking, knowing that whatever technique the Android is not in his database.
His sensors finally detected where he wished it wasn't, with widened eyes the Android flies to that direction. The Android landed in front of 13 who held 18 by her neck and one hand aimed at the right side of her head.
13 chuckled. "What you gonna do now boy?"
16 tried thinking of any options, 13 has grown more powerful but still not enough to defeat him. 16 wouldn't have time to save 18 shile assaulting 13.
18 struggled in his grip. "16 don't worry about me do what you need to do." The grip of 13 tightened.
"Shut it little lady!" 13 yelled and looked to 16. "So boy, don't move and I promise she'll go unharmed."
16 grunted as he put his arms at his sides.
13 chuckled. "Good now" He aimed his other arm forward and it turned into wires. "Now don't you worry, this'll be nice and quick." The wires started headed for 16, then 13 was blasted in the back of the head, he turned. "What?"
17 was there barely standing from that earlier blow 13 gave him.
Before 13 could turn back he got a hard punch to his face forcing him to lose his grip on 18 and skid across the ground till he hit a boulder.
16 looked to 17 and 18. "It is imperative that you leave, 13 is getting desperate." He said quickly before charging at the Gete metal Android.
18 looked to 17. "We better do what he says." She said before putting Trunks over her shoulder. "Grab Tarble and let's get out of here."
17 nodded reluctantly. "Fine" He said before placing Tarble carefully over his shoulder and flew upward.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
13 got up and cringes that his hostage attempt failed he looks to see 17 and 18 flying away. "Gotta get to them now!" He said as he concentrated but not before being grabbed by his wrist by 16.
The two synthetic Androids were now in front of 17 and 18 much to their shock.
16 looked to 13 still grabbing his wrist. "I see, so this is the technique you used to escape from my attack and to recover from your own giving you more power." He said to 13 who was struggling to get out of 16's grip, the white haired Android aimed his other hand at the twins only for it to be grabbed as well. "I will make sure you cannot use it to escape."
13 grunted as he tried with his new power to shake 16 off of him. "Damn it boy, I'm a kill you all!" He said as he tried releasing energy from his eyes but was interrupted by 16's head-butt.
Android 16 let go of 13's wrist and swiftly grabbed 13's head with both hands and plummeted downward holding the redneck Android's face forward, slamming him to the ground face first making a huge crater. The larger Android didn't stop there he still held the Androids head and he kneeled down placing one boot on 13's back. The silent giant began pulling with all his might.
13 started to panic as 16 pulled his head harder and harder. "W-what are you doing?!"
16 said nothing at first still pulling and twisting the other Androids neck harder and harder. "This time I'll rip off your head!" And so he did, 16 was now holding meta-Android 13's head, he then dropped it and looked to see him not attempting to use that technique. "It looks as though my hypothesis was correct, your only capable of using your teleport without your head intact."
13 glared but then chuckled as his "neck wound" from both his head and body formed wires. "That don't matter, this next regenerating should make me above ya." He said laughing but looked frightened as 16 aimed his handless arms at him. 'Come on faster!' He pleaded his own regenerating abilty.
16 looked down at 13 as the wires to his neck and body started connecting. He didn't want to take any chances, his blasters filled with yellow artificial energy. "Goodbye, Hell flash!"
13 was blasted by the attack, unable to use his instant transmission due without his head attached he was helpless as he was regenerating. The Meta Android's body was completely wiped out, not even a wire was left of him.
16 stared down as his sensors were trying to make sure that the threat was gone, he looked to see 17 and 18 staring at him wide-eyed. 13 was not there, his comrades were safe. He smiled knowing that the evil Android was no more. "Android 13 is no more, there is nothing to worry about now." He said flying to them. "We should head to Capsule Corporation to treat our wounded and discuss our next move."
The two nodded but 17 decided to ask. "How did you do that, he was even stronger than he was as Super Android 13."
16 said nothing only turned around. "I will explain on the way, we must go now." And he flew off with the Cyborgs following him with Trunks and Tarble being carried there.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
The four of them made it to Capsule Corporation, Bulma was relieved to see Trunks alive but worried about Tarble and his broken arm. The scientist had put a cast on Tarble's arm and Trunks was in his room recovering.
17 was the one to speak. "So 16 now has 13 and 14's parts huh, how soon can he get 15's?"
Bulma shrugged. "Not enough time, by the looks of it." She said. "I know they were sending more of these guys here but I didn't think they'd send someone so quickly, especially another Android." The woman narrowed her eyes. "Whatever else their sending we should expect it soon."
18 decided to speak. "Maybe you can make 17 and I stronger' I mean you made 16 stronger faster than anyone else."
Bulma shook her head. "I don't know if I could, I mean I had a head start on 16 with the blueprints I got on the other Androids." She sighed. "I guess we'll have to hope that whoever they send won't be stronger than 16."
The others were silent, 17 and 18 were upset that this was their only option. They trained on combination attacks to use on stronger enemies such as Super Android 13 like their accel afterimage and others in one on one battles. Perhaps if they'd focused on power they would have been better off.
I have a suggestion.
The voice startled everyone, Bulma looked up knowing that voice. "Dende is that you?"
"Yes listen 17 and 18 I need you two to come to Korin Tower then fly straight up, Bulma if it's possible bring Tarble and Trunks up safely."
17 and 18 were confused by this.
18 decided to ask. "Where are you going with this?"
"I'll explain everything but right now only you two should come, do you know where Korin Tower is?"
17 spoke. "Yeah, where you get senzu beans right?"
18 looked to 17. "Let's go the sooner the better." Her brother nodded and headed out the door with 18 behind. She turned around to Bulma and 16. "We'll be back I guess." She said as she walked out and flew with her brother side by side.
Bulma realized something. "Wait why don't they just bring Tarble and Trunks with them, you can heal them can't you Dende?"
"I believe this is safer for the time being, from what we observed the enemy will know our whereabouts once they enter Earth's atmosphere, with 17 and 18 separated from Trunks and Tarble they should be safer unlike when 13 decided to make his entrance."
Bulma nodded in understanding. "Also we have 16 so we're safe whether they decide to attack us or 17 and 18." She realized. "This way 16 will have less to worry about we don't know how many they'd send." Not to mention they'd have less of a chance finding the lookout.
16 looked up ward. "I will notify all of you should the enemy be approaching."
Bulma nodded. 'I hope whatever your planning works Dende.' She said placing the scouter on to eavesdrop on the enemy.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
17 and 18 see Korin tower and then fly straight up as instructed by the guardian of earth. The duo's eyes widened looking at Kami's lookout, their database never knew such a place existed. The siblings landed on the tile of Kami's lookout and see Dende who had a smile on his face. The namekian greeted them. "It's good to see you 17 and 18, I'm sure your confused as to why I requested for you."
17 was the one to speak. "Yeah we don't exactly know why you called us here little green, I mean is there something we can do up here?"
Dende nodded though he sweat dropped at the nickname. "Yes there's much you can do." He said turning to see Mr Popo walking out of the temple.
Mr Popo smiled. "So good of you two to be here, the hyperbolic time chamber is ready."
17 and 18 raised their eyebrows. "Time chamber?" They asked in union startled that they asked it at the same time.
Dende looked to the twins. "Yes Mr Popo and I have discussed a way to help you and I believe this is the solution." He said walking with them behind into the temple.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-
Meanwhile far in space on a planet that looked deserted save for a few soldiers surrounding a giant castle, a computer was being used to display as it showed nothing but static until the face of the regular Android 13 appeared with an angry expression. "Those rotten little bastards, hey boss I need a new body a stronger one to boot."
A scientist with the body of an octopus looked up at the screen. "Apologies but the master has no desire to deal with you, so I take it you completed your mission?"
Android 13 growled at the octopus alien. "Shut your trap and get me a new body!"The scientist began typing and the screen with 13's face started to fade. "What in tarnation, wha-what are you doing?"
The scientist looked up to 13. "Apologies 13 but during your battle on Earth, I managed to find out your plans after you had your revenge."
13 looked nervous. "What you blabbing bout now?"
The octopus alien made a smirk through his white beard. "Why your plans to rebuild the big Gete star, creating an amry of yourself just as Cooler did before you." He declared seeing 13 looked worried. "All this after you would have killed our lord."
13 shook his head. "Now wait a minute, let me speak to him I-"
"Goodbye 13." The scientist said deleting 13's AI, never again will he hear his accent, he sighed and turned around to his lord who is sitting on a throne. "Are you sure this was wise my lord, perhaps he could have been useful."
The figure stood up and began walking down the steps. "Yes, however I believe now is the time to test the power I collected over the years Krang."
"Ah yes of course lord Paragas." Krang said.
The Saiyan had tanned skin black hair, a mustache with one of his eyes closed with a scar on it. He wore odd battle armor and his tail around his waist. "But there's been enough excitement today, I will be resting for today." He said walking to his right, the automatic door opened, a closed chamber was there and Paragas walked right in front of it. "I suppose it was for the best that the big Gete star crossed our path, it was then that we found out how truly dangerous your power was, isn't that right?" He asked. "Broly?"
On the chamber was a window showing the face of a Saiyan who had black hair with his eyes closed, surrounded by a blue liquid.
We'll there you have it, Trunks is alive but injured along with Tarble. Thanks to 16 and his upgrades, remember when I said parts of 13's power core fell out and still on earth? That's how Bulma got her hands on the power cores and was able to upgrade 16, though 15's power core isn't apart of him...yet.
And while they rest 17 and 18 seemed to have come across some time saving tools. Now this was a cliché I kind of hoped to avoid, but I found it unavoidable so here we are. Also it looks like Paragas is about to make his move, will he bring Broly along or will it just be him? We'll find out in the next chapter.
Najee Abbasi24- We PM'd about this but as I said these Androids were the same as the ones in the past, they just had no control on what they were doing, and since the ones in the past weren't so psychotic I figured they would feel a tremendous amount of guilt if they realized that they never wanted to kill anyone in the first place and by then killed countless men women and children for no reason. I'm pretty sure this would humble almost anyone no matter what timeline their in. Of course like I said you can still disagree.
Hope to see another review for this chapter.
Guest- That was my goal I wanted you to belive Trunks was dead. But what do you mean by end of Trunks? Do you mean permanently dead or just dead? Because even if he was the earth's new dragonballs can still bring him back, Porunga was the one who revived him the first time remember? I'd hate to lose another reader, I lost enough after I quit doing power levels.
Knight Kit- I'll try not to disappoint then, also nice new name.
shadowwriter01- Yep somewhere on the line Broly and Paragas bumped into the big Gete star with Meta Cooler being in charge of it, how and why will be explaned later.
The Tell-Tale Man- I'll do my best to update weekly. s
We'll that's everything, also I have an announcement. I've been using my free time on making other projects such as a rewrite on Dragonball Yokai, another on 8 chars I made in Dragonball Xenoverse and a third one which is likely to be the only non-Dbz fanfic on my profile. So you may look forward to those. To those of you who worry this will hinder my progress in this story, I only plan to work on it in my next hiatus when the Invasion Saga's through.
Also I know some (very few) people who don't really like Broly due to his lack of character development in the movies, I promise he'll have it in this story, he's not just going to go earth screaming KAKAROT! I have plans for him.
Ok that's all have an awesome day guys! :)
