Hey guys, I'm here with next chapter of the Invasion Saga, that's the name of this Saga. I know not that much thought into it but It doesn't give anything away so I think we're good. Someone commented about poor grammar in the previous chapter, I'll be sure to fix that on our next hiatus. I don't want to give my beta-reader too much work.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Rebuilt

Tarble sighed as he told his horrid tale. "That is everything, I would have come here sooner, but I didn't want to risk dying for nothing like so many others." He stated sadly to everyone in the room.

18 looked to Tarble, then to Trunks who had a frown with a glare. Just like Trunks, everything was taken from him, if he allows it she will do what she can to help Tarble.

Trunks stood up. "Uncle I'm sorry for what happened to you, I can relate, but know that neither 17 or 18 can be blamed for things that happened over the years." He said hoping to keep his uncle from giving to his rage like he did when he fought the Androids.

Tarble nodded. "Yes, I know." He said and closed his eyes. "The last thing I want is for this planet to suffer the same fate mine did, I will help you fight against this new Planet Trade Organization."

Trunks began to speak. "Do you think they'll send more?"

His uncle nodded. "Yes, there was some data on plans to conquer earth after they gotten power that could challenge the Androids or any other possible resistances." He said sadly. "They probably already sent someone or soldiers to head to earth."

Bulma stood up. "Wait, I almost forgot." She said earning confused looks from the others. "I hacked into one of the scouters that the other guys were using and heard that they'll be sending more."

Trunks looked to his mother with a hard expression. "Did they at least say how many?"

Bulma shook her head and sighed. "No, but whoever I heard talking said that there might be no need, so whoever they are will probably give more trouble than the two you fought."

Tarble stood up and looked to Trunks with a serious face. "Whatever the case, we should expect them to be stronger than 17 and 18, like I said whoever there sending may have more power than the average soldier that used their power wristbands, we have to be careful, in the meantime, um Bulma how fast can you repair 16?"

The scientist gave a thumbs up. "Not to worry I'll have 16 up and running soon."

The Saiyan nodded and looked to 18. "Um 18, can you explain everything to your brother when he wakes up?"

18 was surprised that Tarble was willing to speak to her so soon after finding out she was innocent. "I will."

Tarble nodded and looked to his nephew. "You should rest, I can tell your still exhausted, we'll need everyone at 100% condition, we have no idea how strong the enemy is."

Trunks nodded and began walking up the stairs. He wanted to ask Tarble to better explain his Ascended transformation, but thought it could wait after he was at peak condition. One things for sure at his current level, he'd be little help against what was to come. Trunks shook his head, he'll do what he can no matter how little he can do.

Tarble looks to see Bulma repairing 16, he then sees the machine not even looking at him but at the ceiling. The Saiyan thinks about what he did attacking him, he was a full machine, just like he thought 17 and 18 were. But even so of the three of them he seemed to be the kindest, he looked to Bulma. "How damaged is he?"

Bulma looked to Tarble and smiled. "Not too bad, he'll be alright after a while." She said seeing that he seemed sad. "Hey don't feel bad, you should have seen what the last one did to him, he only had a head."

The Saiyan raised an eyebrow. "What, but I thought the Androids are the strongest on this planet."

The scientist shook her head. "There was another more powerful Android here, he was so strong that he Trunks, 16, 17 and 18 had to work together to beat him." She said as she connected some wires in 16's almost dethatched arm.

Tarble rose an eyebrow. "Really?" He asked as if uncertain. "And Trunks was willing to team up with them?"

Bulma nodded. "Yeah, but he did it out of necessity more than anything else, you see Trunks had a harder time believing that 17 and 18 were innocent at the time than now." She said sighing. "Of course it was less than a day that he found out that 17 and 18 were being controlled by Dr Gero." She said clenching her fists at the thought. "That mad man ruined everything for them and a lot for us."

Tarble looked to 16 and back to Bulma. "Does Trunks forgive them now?"

Bulma was checking her computer to look for any damage in 16's thought circuits. "I wish it were that simple, I know that he's trying a lot harder to move on now than he was last year." She said as she looked to him. "I understand if you find it hard to forgive them too, I just hope you can move on."

Tarble nodded slowly to Bulma and looked to 16. "I attacked you because I thought you were a heartless machine, as I thought 17 and 18 were, I apologize." He said sighing.

16 looked to Tarble and smiled. "It is fine, I hope you won't hold Vegeta's or anyone's death against them." He said in his robotic tone.

Tarble sighed as he took a seat and relaxed himself. The Saiyan focused on sensing the energy in coming for earth he'll have to wait and hopefully everyone will be at peak condition when needed.

Android 18 sat next to 17's bedside, she looked at her brother and sighed. "None of this would have happened if you weren't such an idiot, what made you think it was a good idea to tell him that you killed Vegeta?" She asked sighing and remembering preparing to block a Galick Gun at her and 17 before Trunks arrived. "A second later and we would have been killed." She'll have to thank Trunks for that later and smack her brother when he wakes up.

18 thought of what would have happened if she and 17 were killed again. Sure there were the dragon balls that they could use but still the thought of dying again scared her, and also there was this new threat that she was worried about. Tarble was strong, stronger than Super Android 13, so could there be someone stronger than him? She spent a year training and it didn't help against Tarble.

18 shook her head, now is not the time worrying about what ifs. She will explain everything to 17 and they will help anyway they can. This is what she and her brother trained for. After fighting opponents stronger than her, she knew another day would come where another powerful opponent would take their place. But no matter how strong this threat is, she'll do what she can to protect Trunks, her brother, Bulma and the earth or die trying.

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

Tarble sat there trying to sense for anything coming, so far he felt nothing which is a relief. He feels that in their current condition there defenseless, even with his ascended Super Saiyan state he was worried he'd be no match for what was to come. He then realized something and looked to Bulma. "Excuse me Bulma."

She turned around. "Yeah what is it?"

Tarble rubbed his head trying to remember. "I uh, remember that there was another half breed Saiyan like Trunks, do you know where he is?" He asked earning a surprise expression from her. "We can use all the help we can get, do know where he is?"

Bulma's expression changed to one of sadness. "You must mean Gohan, I'm afraid he.." She paused thinking about her friend. "He died during 17 and 18's rampage." She said closing her eyes, saddened at the thought.

The Saiyan's eyes widened and sighed. "I apologize, I didn't know." He said sitting down with a sigh. "I suppose Gohan was Kakarot's son?"

The scientist looked to Tarble and nodded remembering Goku's Saiyan name. "Yeah, both of them were amazing people when they were still with us." She said sighing.

Tarble watched as she repaired 16. "You said that Kakarot or as you call him Goku died of a heart virus, do you think if he hadn't died that he would have made a difference?" He asked.

Bulma nodded. "No doubt, Goku always gave this feeling that everything would be alright no matter how bad things looked." She said. "I know that if the virus hadn't taken him he would definitely have made a difference." She said smiling.

Tarble nodded. "Maybe Vegeta would still be alive too, I wish I could have met Kakarot, he sounds like a great person."

Bulma chuckled remembering the goofy smile he would make. "He sure was."

A minute of science passed and so Tarble spoke again. "So I need to ask one more thing."

Bulma looked to Tarble. "Yeah?"

The Saiyan sighed. "My brother, how was he, I mean when you were together."

The scientist was putting pieces back in 16's arm. "Well, our relationship was a bit complicated, he never showed any emotion to anyone, not even me." She said sighing. "We weren't even married but I do miss him, and thanks to him I have Trunks and I'm grateful for that." She looked to Tarble. "I'd like to think he would have been more opened if he had stayed a while longer."

Tarble chuckled. "My brother may have been a harsh man, but I assure you, he did care about you, more than you know."

Years ago on planet Vegeta a 4 year old Tarble fell down a cliff, he was sent to this area to train by his father but he accidentally fell and has been holding onto a tree's roots. "Help! Somebody please help me!" The young prince yelled for anyone nearby. Tarble hasn't quite learned how to fly yet and he looked down to see how high he was. "Ah ah!" He yelled as he started to cry. "Someone help!"

"Your such a crybaby." A young but disciplined voice he knew too well spoke.

Tarble turned his head to see a 5 year old Vegeta floating a few feet behind him, he looked to him with panic. "Big brother please help!"

Vegeta covered his ears due to his sensitive hearing and yelled annoyed by his brother's cries. "Didn't father teach you to fly yet?"

Tarble tried to answer but looked down and back to Vegeta. "I-I still haven't gotten the hang of it yet!" The root was starting to go down. "Please help me Vegeta!" The root broke and the younger prince started falling screaming but then suddenly he stopped falling his face close to the rocky ground. He looked up to see his brother holding his right leg, before he could even say thank you Vegeta let go of Tarble letting his face hit the ground. "That hurt." Tarble whined is head and looking up his brother fighting not to shed more tears. "Why did you do that Vegeta?"

Vegeta landed in front of him and laughed cruely. "Oh what's wrong little brother, you can't take a joke?"

Tarble looked down in shame. "Father told me that he won't let me go back to our castle until I at least learned how to fly." He said. "I don't think I'll ever be allowed back home, because no matter what I do I can't do it."

"Oh stop your pathetic whining I'll help you learn how to fly."

Tarble looked up to his brother with wide eyes and a smile. "You will, thank you Vegeta."

"Yeah, yeah, just don't mention this to father, now stand up before I change my mind!"

Tarble got up happy. "Ok"

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

"Wow, I never Vegeta would be willing to help anyone." Bulma said smiling then frowning. "He didn't even care when I was pregnant with Trunks, when I told him I had his child he only said good for you and went back to training."

"That sounds like what Vegeta would say." He said but smiled. "But believe me, Vegeta did care for you if he would have been allowed more time with you I'm sure you'd know what I mean."

Bulma smiled. "Thanks, I hope you'll get to know Trunks once this is all over."

Tarble nodded and kept focusing his senses. "I'd like that."

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

17's eyes opened, at first his vision was very groggy. 'Oh, my...everything.' He thought getting up and placing his right hand on his battered stomach and grabbing his jaw with his left. The Cyborg looked to see 18 sitting there with her blank stare. "18?" He asked then his eyes opened wide, remembering everything. "That Super Saiyan, did you get him, what happened?"

18 raised her hand to calm him. "Easy 17, first of all are you hurt?"

17 took a breath to regain his cool demeanor. "I'm fine sis, now what-" He felt a strike on his head. "Ow!" He yelled grabbing his head. "What was that for?"

18 stood up with a stern look on her face. "You idiot, that was for nearly getting us killed!" She yelled grabbing him by his shirt and lifting him by his shirt. "What do you think would have happened after you were telling Tarble to kill you first?" She asked with a strict tone and shook him. "Well, what made you think that was the best idea?"

"Alright, alright, I get it, now can you tell me what's going on?" He asked curious to know why he was in a bed and looked around. "Come to think of it where are we, this isn't our house."

She sighed knowing that this was the best apology she was going to get out of him and decided to tell him. "Were at Capsule Corporation, we were lucky that Trunks came and convinced Tarble to let us explain like you should have instead of making yourself a target!"

"I said I got it." 17 said sighing and smiled not resisting poking the bear. "You see, your boyfriend does care about you."

18 growled. "17 I'm going to kill you."

"Moving on, 16 said he had something I'm pretty was important to tell us, care to tell me?" He asked.

18 explained everything about Tarble and the new planet trade organization wanting to take over Earth.

17 chuckled. "And just when I thought life was dull with no real fighting, hopefully these guys will provide a challenge."

"Like Tarble?" 18 jabbed smiling.

17 growled. "Oh that reminds me where is he?"

18 narrowed her eyes and frowned. "17 no, you know he'll just mop the floor with you again, neither me or 16 could put a dent in him."

"Grr, no way, it must have been luck, there's no way a non-android can be a match for us." He said. "Think about it, the only ones who were able to cause us any real damage were other Androids, there's no way he's that strong."

18 shook her head. "Look we don't have time for this, after we take care of whatever's attacking earth then you can get yourself killed." She said harshly. "We owe it to them, you know that."

17 sighed angrily. "Fine" The Android then stood up. "So what are we doing now?"

18 shrugged. "I was waiting for you to wake up to explain what's happening, right now were waiting for some more idiots there sending."

"I guess we'll have to wait, I hate waiting." He complained.

"Don't be such a child this isn't a game." She replied as the two of them went downstairs. "And don't you even think of starting anything with Tarble or Trunks when he wakes up."

17 stopped on a stair. "Wakes up?" He asked. "You mean Tarble actually beat him up?"

"No you idiot, he was tired from fighting those other idiots that came for us." 18 said.

"Oh right." 17 said remembering.

Both siblings walked down to Bulma's lab, 17 sees Tarble sitting with his eyes closed. One opened and looked to 17 who smirked. "My sister told me everything, I hope you know after this there's going to be a rematch."

Tarble scoffed and gave a smile similar to Vegeta's. "Why I'll be happy to take you on, once you improved a little."

The normally calm 17 got angry from that. "Why you-"

18 cut him off and held his arm. "That's enough 17, I told you after this is done then you can get your ass kicked." She scolded her twin.

17 groaned knowing his sister was right, if he was strong enough to knock him out with minimal effort than there's no way he can take him on. For now that is.

"Ok, please no fighting in the lab." Bulma said walking away from 16 and to the twins. "So uh, I haven't asked." She began. "How have you guys been, was the house ok?"

18 smiled to her and went along with the conversation hoping this will calm her brother. "Things have been great, also the training dome has been a great help too."

At the end of that sentence 17 looked over to Tarble. "Not enough." 18 elbowed 17 in the ribs for that and grabbed her brother by the shoulder. "Hey what are you-"

18 looked to her brother. "I think you need to calm down, the last thing I want you to do is throw a tantrum." She said to her twin and looked to Bulma. "We'll be outside if you need us, my brother needs a little fresh air."

Bulma sweat dropped as 18 dragged 17 up the stairs despite his protests. 'Just like a brother and sister I guess.' She thought as she looked to Tarble with a nervous face. "Now I know 17 seems harsh, but I promise he's a good person and so is 18." She said laughing nervously.

Tarble sighed. "I'm sure they are." He said with hesitance as he kept focus on sensing for any unusual energy signatures heading for the planet. The Saiyan was angry when 17 had the audacity to speak to him normally after admitting to him for killing his brother, it took immense restraint to keep himself from turning the Cyborg inside out. But he knows that they are innocent, so he'll likely refuse the rematch so he doesn't kill 17 out of rage. Tarble calmed himself to make sure that the Earth wasn't in any danger.

Bulma rubbed her temples and walked back to 16 to continue her repairs on him.

The two would probably spend their time in silence.

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

17 and 18 were outside standing at the balcony. 17 was leaning on the railing looking up, to think there's a fighter stronger than him that wasn't an android. Does this mean there are more with those men who attacked Trunks? If so it wounded his pride even more so. The Cyborg wanted the invaders to send in more to prove them and himself that he was still strong. The only fighter weaker than him right now is Trunks, but he's always beaten him so that wasn't that big of a deal.

18 looked to her brother. "Your an idiot, you know that?"

17 looked to his sister looking unaffected by her insult. "So you keep telling me, I hope whoever wants this planet sends more, I need something to vent out my frustration."

18 shrugged. "Yeah, yeah, just make sure not to throw a tantrum if you lose again."

17 sighed. "Your such a nice sister." He said sarcastically and then smiled knowing the one thing that'll get her worked up. "So, while I was unconscious was there anything interesting that you weren't telling me?"

18 looked to 17 with an annoyed look. "What are you going on about now."

The male Cyborg shrugged. "Oh I don't know, after Trunks saved us, did you 'thank' him?"

His sister growled as she let out a shock made of her artificial energy out. "Another word and I'll kill you, got it?" 18 threatened.

17 smirked at his sister and chuckled. "Again, so you keep telling me." He said knowing he got a rise out of her like he usually got.

18 looked up the sky too ,trying to resist the urge to kick 17's ass, she should have expected this, whenever she jabbed at him when he called himself the ultimate Android he would remind him of 16, 13, and herself after Dr Gero corrected the error he made with her power making her stronger than her brother. She took a breath to remain stoic again, she wanted to be ready for whatever was to come.

17 decided to speak again. "So these guys made these things that give them power to fight us?"

18 sees that he changed the subject and went along with it. "That's what Tarble said."

Android 17 chuckled. "That's good, maybe these idiots will be a good warm-up before my rematch with Tarble."

Android 18 rolled her eyes as she said this, after what the beating he took and what she told him he just won't let go of his own ego. Not that it matters, this kind of attitude could be what they need for anything that's getting thrown at them.

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

Tarble kept concentrating on searching for any power levels heading for earth when one thought entered his mind, he looked to Bulma. "Say Bulma, for some reason I couldn't remember either 17 or 18 before getting here, even though I knew an Android killed my brother as a Super Saiyan." He stated earning a look from her. "Would this have anything to do with the dragonballs?"

Bulma nodded. "I guess so, we erased everyone's image of 17 and 18 except for our friends." She said. "I suppose since we didn't know you by then you forgot what they looked like too and their numbers."

The Saiyan nodded. "No wonder why I didn't recognize them when I came, I learned how to sense energy but I knew they were Androids since I couldn't sense their power without my scouter." He said thinking about it. "Well no harm done I suppose." He said shrugging and continue trying to sense anything.

*BEEP*

Tarble looked into the glass of his scouter, it was detecting a high power level out of the earth's surface. "Stupid thing must be broken, I don't sense anything."

"Negative, my sensors also indicate a power level headed this way." 16 stated looking up, still on the lab table.

Bulma looked at the scouter she got from 16, it was detecting the same reading. "It looks like something really is coming."

Tarble looked around to see 17 and 18's power levels appear on the device showing that their not far outside the building to know it wasn't them. "Hmm, whatever it is it's heading in this direction at high speeds." He looked to Bulma and sees 16 still on the lab table with wires attached and still in need of some reparis. 'No time.' He thought as he ran up the stairs.

"Tarble where are you going?!" Bulma yelled out for him.

"To stop whatever it is from crashing against your home!" He yelled back going up the stairs.

Tarble quickly opened the door and flew up at high speeds going Super Saiyan.

17 and 18 see him flying upwards. 17 was the first to ask. "The hell's gotten into him."

"Beats me." 18 said when her eyes widened at what she saw. "17 look." She said pointing to the sky, a light glowing meteor looking object was heading down for Capsule Corp and Tarble was heading for it. "We should help." She said.

"Right" 17 agreed flying up with his sister. "Never knew that there were meteors that could fly this fast." He noted.

Tarble's aura grew as did his muscles as he became ascended Super Saiyan and held his hands in front of the hurling light blue object that was threating to flatten the Brief's home. He yelled unleashing an energy wave that pushed against it slowing the object down, however it was still at threating speeds. "Damn it!" He said as the object came closer. "This is no attack pod, the newer models couldn't hold against an attack of this magnitude." He said cringing.

The people of West City looked up in fear at what looked like a meteor heading for Capsule Corp, trying to make sense of this.

"What is going on?"

"W-we should leave, t-that guy up there looks l-like he c-can do what the Androids did!"

"No look, it's a golden warrior don't you see?"

"He must be trying to save us from that meteor!"

"Please save us golden warrior!"

The people do not remember what the Androids looked like or even what they called themselves, they do however remember two golden warriors that would come to save as many as they could and fight back against the Androids. They cheered on Tarble as he struggled against, the meteor.

Tarble didn't hear any of it as he kept trying to at least change the direction of the meteor. "Come on!" He tried thinking of using his Galick Gun, but to use it at full power would take too much time, he'll need to change it's direction.

17 and 18 flew by the object that was pushing against Tarble's attack. They got back to back and fired their trademark attacks together.

"Power Blitz!"

"Photon Flash!"

The twin's attacks melded together and exploded against the meteor, the impact changed it's course sending it flying to the horizon away from the city. Tarble looked to the twins and smiled. "Thank you, I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't helped."

17 said nothing only looked to where the object went. "Any idea what that was, those Saiyan space pods couldn't be that hard to destroy, and it was no energy attack either since it didn't explode when all our attacks hit it."

Tarble nodded. "It wasn't either, we should probably go see it."

"Hey!"

The three turned to see Trunks in his Super Saiyan state looking confused. "Tarble, I sensed your power what just happened?" The warrior said nothing to either 17 or 18, entirely focused on the situation.

Tarble shook his head. "I'll explain on the way, just follow us."

The four of them took off as Bulma ran out the house. "Hey you guuuuys!" She yelled to them even though they couldn't hear. "What the hell just happened, and Trunks, hey!" She yelled as the four became dots to her sight, a sigh escaped her lips. "I never get to see the action anymore." She said going inside to do what she can to repair 16.

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

Tarble flew ahead at full speeds with 17 and 18 trying their hardest to keep up, and Trunks doing the same with the Cyborgs. The half-Saiyan decided to ask. "So what happened, I didn't sense anyone but you uncle!"

Tarble looked over his shoulder as he kept flying. "Were not sure, but be careful whatever this thing is it's about my level so keep your guard up!"

"You were the only one I sensed, so how can you know that?"

Tarble tapped his scouter. "My scouter and Android 16's sensors detected it, whatever it is it uses artificial energy like your friends here."

18 decided to ask. "I thought that we were dealing with aliens not Androids!"

Tarble turned straight ahead. "So did I."

The four of them flew for a couple more minutes to see the ocean and some tropical and thankfully uninhabited islands. Tarble looked down. "It's here somewhere, keep your guard up and an eye out." He said. "If you see it do not attack, let me handle him."

17 twitched an eye as he looked around. "I don't see anything, are you sure that thing on your face isn't broken?" He asked.

"16 was able to sense it as well, so it couldn't be." Tarble said.

Trunks looked around as well unsure of what to look for, then he looked down to see a whirlpool forming. The Super Saiyan couldn't bring himself to look away as he kept looking, his pupils shook as he immediately recognized who it was. "No way."

18 looked to him. "Trunks?" She looked to see the whirlpool he was staring at and looked on with shock. "How?"

Tarble and 17 looked down at the whirlpool as well, 17 was shocked but Tarble just looked at him and checked with his scouter. "You, your the one that almost flattened Capsule Corporation, explain yourself." He demanded, he then noticed the shocked looks his companions were giving.

The being in question was humanoid and looked like a human man with gleaming silver shiny metallic skin, he wore the clothes of Android 13 and had the long white hair, aside the new skin he also had red pupils. "D'ya'll miss me?" Android 13 asked in a chilling redneck voice with a smirk.

And there you have it, Android 13 is back. If you reread chapter 11 you'll read that MOST of Android 13 was destroyed, not all. For those of you who are confused by the description of Android 13's change in appearance, imagine 13 with the same skin color as Meta-Cooler and wearing the same clothes he usually wears before 13 became Super Android 13. Now this raises some more questions doesn't it? Like, does this mean there's no meta-cooler? Will there be an army of Meta Android 13's? How was he rebuilt and not Cooler who died before 13 was destroyed? If Meta-Cooler isn't here than what happened to him? Part of this will be explained in the next chapter, the rest in a couple more.

Anyway now for my favorite time of the chapter, review responces.

Guest- Alright I will do my best to explain. Do you remember my explanation on why Gohan couldn't become ASSJ? The same thing is with Trunks he couldn't train effectively because he can literally sense people dying, he couldn't bring himself to ignore people when they needed him. The Androids would always interrupt his training, keeping him from improving. Tarble on the other hand had no one to protect, so he was able to train with no distractions, ironically with no one to protect he was able to train and get himself stronger and achieve the ASSJ.

Why didn't Trunks get stronger because of Zenkai? Well do you notice that after Namek, it was never mentioned again? Unless you count Cooler's Revenge and Cell becoming 'Super Perfect', but that's it. Well there are a lot of fan-based theories on why it never was, some say it doesn't help when you turn Super Saiyan. I believe that it becomes less and less effective the more it's used so relying on it isn't the smart thing for Saiyans to do as the increase in power will decrease. Trunks reached the limits of Zenkai after fighting the Androids many times, the same probably happened with Gohan, increasing their power by only so little.

Cell managed to gain a Zenkai because it was probably his first one ever, so of course he was able to gain a good amount of power. Or it could be because Cell also has the cells of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and I think other Saiyans as well allowing him to technically gain more than one boost.

Anyway Tarble became the strongest because he was able to train for 15 years with no interruptions, minus leaving the planet to stop conquests whenever he can. I hope this explanation makes sense, let me know if there's anything you don't understand.

shadowwriter01- Yeah I figured it would be, though I believe that any training method would work so long as it pushes Super Saiyans to their limits. It would only take long depending on what training their doing. Now that I think of it, I think I was lazy with his transformation, I thought that apparently Bardock can go Super Saiyan, (I don't believe his Zenkai made him stronger than the Ginyu Force) that it would be ok. But I don't really consider the speacial canon, so I guess I'll rewrite the origin of his transformation after this saga. After all I am trying to make this fit into canon as much as possible

We'll he thought that 16 was a lifeless machine, a weapon that must be destroyed. That's why I believe he would attack regardless, also he didn't remember what 17 and 18 looked like, he only knew that he couldn't sense them and that was all he felt he needed to know.

The Tell-Tale Man- Thank you I tried my best to make it all fit, hope to get a review from you again on this chapter and the next.

anonymous- Yeah there has to be a minimum power level since Goku didn't transform the first time Krillin died in dragonball, I'll be sure to rewrite his transformation after the invasion saga is through. Let me know how I did on the grammer here please.
