Times up

Trunks and the others are now forced to wait out the remaining hours until 17 and 18 exit the chamber. Meaning that everyone on earth will have to cope with whatever Paragas does for the time being, though they do notice something was the one to speak. "Something's not right, he's just sitting in one spot." He said sensing Paragas's energy.

Tarble replied. "This could be good, as long as he stays this way no one will get hurt."

"Maybe but how long is he going to stay there?" Trunks asked unsure. "Why hasn't he done anything?"

Burma decided to cut in. "Hey let's not worry about that Trunks, this way no one will get hurt right?"

Trunks looks to his mother. "I know that mom, but I can't help but think why he's still there."

Android 16 decided to answer. "It is likely that he himself is unsure of what to do at the moment, making plans of what to do next since he cannot detect our location." He said walking to the edge of the lookout and looking down.

Trunks looked at the machine. "16 what are you doing?"

The Android turns to Trunks and the others. "Paragas may not be able to detect you since your capable of suppressing your power levels, I however am unable of it myself." He explained. "It is likely that he is waiting for reinforcements and a new scouter to detect my presence, if he finds me he will find you as well."

Trunks and the other's eyes widened knowing that he's planning to leave.

Bulma stepped forward. "Wait a minute 16, who knows how long it will take for that so why don't we all stay here where it's safe?"

16 shook his head. "It will not be safe once he get's a hold of another scouter, my being here will only endanger you all."

Trunks decided to talk. "But 16, with all of us together we should be able to-" He was interrupted when Tarble placed a hand on his shoulder.

Tarble sighed and spoke. "Trunks I'm afraid he's right, once Paragas gets a new scouter wouldn't take long for him to find this place." He looks to the Android. "Stay safe 16."

Android 16 nodded and floated off the lookout and to the opposite direction of Paragas hoping to send the elder Saiyan on a wild goose chase.

Trunks looked to Tarble with an angry look. "Why didn't you try to help convince him not to leave, now he's on his own."

Tarble looked at his nephew. "Believe me Trunks, if you and I alone can take him I would have tried talking him into staying as well, but for now we don't have a choice." He said shaking his fists in anger.

Trunks clenched his teeth and fists tight, wanting to punch Tarble so badly for allowing his friend who may be incapable of bringing back with the dragon balls. But he knew he was right they'd be no match for Paragas even if 16 was repaired, also he can see that Tarble isn't happy with allowing him to go as well. He takes a deep breath and looks to the direction where 16 took off to. "I hope these hours go by soon."

Tarble nodded. "As do I."

Bulma couldn't really say anything and sighed. '17 and 18, I hope you can come out soon.' She thought not wanting to lose any more friends.

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

As hours slowly ticked away in the outside world, months passed by inside the hyperbolic time chamber. The twin Cyborgs were pushing each other's limits as they sparred one another over and over again.

Neither took a second longer when resting to allow their bodies to rest, at first 17 thought his infinite energy supply would allow him to do infinite training, sadly that proved more harmful than useful as it only served to make severe strains to his body. This taught him a painful lesson that Android or not he and 18 needed to rest every now and then like any other human. It took the male Cyborg a few days to recover and get back to training.

Luckily 18 made no such mistake, mostly due to her brother making it first. She made sure to allow her body to rest appropriately and allowed her power to grow naturally. Although the Android never learned how to sense energy she can still feel the energy flowing through her growing stronger everyday. She can also tell the same goes for her brother as they were evenly matched at every sparring session, both hoped that the power they had now would be enough by time the year was up.

17 threw a hard punch which 18 caught, she threw a kick to his head but her brother caught it as well. 17 chuckled. "I'd say were about even wouldn't you sis?"

18 growled. "Don't bet on it 17!"

The siblings then let go of each other's limbs and proceeded to exchange punches and kicks. Some were swayed others blocked, or the attacks landed neither stopped and kept trying to overpower the other. Ever since the two began training outside the chamber they created some form of sibling rivalry always trying to out do the other. It seems to have grown stronger since they entered the time chamber and the only ones they see are each other.

The Cyborg twins then separated and powered up their signature attacks.

17 roared. "Photon Flash!"

As did his sister. "Power Blitz!"

The two attacks met and collided into a beam struggle both of them cringing trying to push the opposing beam towards the other. With their abilities testing each other they believe that they will gain the power that they need to stop this new threat.

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

Back outside Trunks and the others have been anxiously waiting for Paragas to make his move. 17 and 18 are down to their last hour in the hyperbolic time chamber and the SSJ has yet to make his move.

Trunks sighed. "I don't like this, just what is he waiting for?"

Tarble walked behind him. "Were all wondering that, but we can't say that it's a bad thing."

Burma then spoke up. "I'm worried about 16." She said looking down the edge of the lookout.

Tarble decided to ease her worry. "Do not worry, Paragas is still in the same area so 16 is likely alright."

She sighed. "Well that's good news." She gave a weak smile to her son. "Right Trunks?"

The half-saiyan looked to her mother and nodded with a smile. "Yeah, 17 and 18 are almost finished too, so if were lucky they may finish before Paragas's reinforcements arrive."

Tarble chuckled. "Yes and then we can go in the time chamber together, after all we can't let the Androids stay ahead of us right Trunks?"

His nephew smiled and nodded in agreement. . (-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Meanwhile down below 16 is in the same spot still damaged from his battle with Paragas, the Android was glad that he chose a lifeless location where no animals could get hurt should Paragas decide to pursue him. Hours have gone by and according to his timer 17 and 18 will be ready to face Paragas in the next hour.

However something doesn't feel right, his sensors tell him that Paragas is still in the same spot. Surely his reinforcements should have arrived to earth by now, it took a mere 8 hours for him and his troops to get here, there's bound to be more of his men here by now. What could this mean?

'BIP'

16's sensors started detecting Paragas actually moving, it appears that he's going to make his move towards him. "It is time." He said to himself as he looked to the direction that he sensed the elder Saiyan's enormous power. Suddenly his eyes widened, he wasn't heading for his direction he was heading for…with no time to figure out how the Android flies in the same direction that Paragas is going. This should be impossible but his sensors indicate him heading towards his friends, but that couldn't be since his sensors can't detect them. The machine flies as fast as he can to the lookout hoping that he can make a difference. . (-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Back at the lookout Trunks and Tarble's eyes are widened by what their feeling. Trunks decided to ask. "He's not heading towards our direction is he?"

Tarble shook his head. "It couldn't be, perhaps he's heading for 16's direction!"

Burma got worried and asked. "What is going on?!"

Without turning to her Tarble replies. "Paragas is heading our way."

Bulma paled. "But how I thought that he can't sense you guys right now."

"He can't." Dende spoke up. "I'm here with you and I can't sense anything detectable from Trunks and Tarble."

Trunks's eyes widened. "He's right below us!"

Suddenly a golden light came over the lookout blinding everyone here, when their vision became clear there blood ran cold as they see SSJ Paragas floating with a triumphant smirk on his face.

Paragas smiled as he looked around and chuckled. "So this is where you were hiding." He said as landed on the ground and gave Trunks and Tarble a look. "I told you that I'd find you."

Trunks and Tarble transformed into SSJ's, Tarble powered up more as he became ASSJ.

Paragas sees the numbers in his scouter and scoffed. "Pathetic even that Android would put up a better fight than either of you." He said as he looked around the palace he found. "And your suppose to be the royal family, what a shame that you two along with prince Vegeta were surpassed by mere machines."

Tarble's brain was going haywire trying to come up with a way to by 17 and 18 another hour, who's to say that they didn't need another month in the chamber. Since he's curious he might as well ask. "How did you find us, we were under your radar."

The eldest Saiyan chuckled. "Yes, after you two got away with that little trick of yours I thought that I was never going to find you, I thought about wreaking havoc on the populace to get your attention but I'd rather not cause any damage to this beautiful planet especially since it managed to heal." He explained. "An idea came to me though, I contacted my scientist Krang to use the old spybots we had here to try and find you." The old Sayain began pacing with with his hands behind his back. "It took longer than I would have liked but eventually one found this place and Krang decided to have the bot investigate." He pointed up."

Trunks and the others looked up seeing a tiny dot floating. Table's eyes widened at the thing. It was a miniature bot that was monitoring them the whole time, it was one of the same bots that monitored the battle between the Z-fighters and the Androids.

Paragas put his hand down. "So you see it was only a matter of time before I found you again, now it's time for my revenge and I won't be falling for anymore tricks now die!" He said as he pointed his hand at them launching a purple energy wave.

With quick thinking Tarble shielded himself with an energy barrier along with the others the shield held but costed Tarble almost every ounce of energy. The ASSJ was exhausted after that. "Damn it, *PANT* *PANT*"

Trunks went to his uncle after seeing him look like he was going to collapse. "Uncle!" The half-Saiyan tried to help him up and then looked to see Paragas chuckling, he growled at him. Almost every opponent was able to taunt him with their power and Paragas is no different he's merely toying with their lives.

The eldest Saiyan then raised both hands at the Saiyans. "Now it's time for you to die." Purple energy blasts appeared in the palms of his hands. "Don't worry about your Android friend he's on his way, I'll take care of him next."

A male voice spoke. "Did we talk this much?"

Paragas looked to his right to be kicked in the face and was sent flying, then a pink energy blast blasted against him sending him further away.

Trunks easily identified the voice and turned away from Paragas to see 17 and 18 there with ruined clothes. 17's right long sleeve was torn off, also the clothing covering his right shoulder was torn off revealing his long sleeve shirt. As for 18, she had a hole in her shirt revealing her belly button along with a hole in her tights showing her bare knee. "How did you guys know he found us?"

17 shrugged. "We didn't little green came in the chamber telling us the big boss found you." He said. "Oh and long time no see, it's almost been a year you know?" He joked.

18 looked to see Trunks, Tarble, and Bulma with no serious injuries. Her serious demeanor kept her from saying she missed them and hid her relief. "Trunks you and Tarble should get in the chamber now, we'll take care of the old guy." She said turning to see Paragas flying back screaming with anguish."

Trunks realized that now was their chance and nodded, he looked to Tarble. "Let's go uncle."The shorter Saiyan nodded and stood up running with Dende. The half-saiyan then turned to look at 17 and 18 with a serious look. "You two becareful alright?"

Android 18 felt glad that he was concerned for her and 17, it looks as though they can finally be friends. "See you later." She said as she turned her head ready for Paragas to come back alongside her brother.

Trunks then ran in the palace along with his mother.

17 turned to 18. "Too bad I thought you were finally ready to share your feelings."

18 growled. "Shut up."

Paragas came right in front of the two with an angry scowl. "You brats who are you?!" He demanded/asked. "Wait" The elder Saiyan noticed something peculiar, the energy readings his scouter is picking up are artificial much like the android 16. "Could it be, were you the original Androids that killed Vegeta and his earth friends?"

18 cringed when he asked that, while 17 closed his eyes as if irritated she took a breath and glared at the new SSJ. "It doesn't matter." She said taking a stance.

Android 17 took one as well. "What matters is that your going to meet demise old man." He spoke cooly.

Paragas looked at the two and started chuckling. "Your right about one thing it doesn't matter." He said powering up his golden aura.

The twins were rather surprised that there was yet another SSJ, but they hid it wanting nothing more than to do what they wanted since their battle with 16 and Super Android 13. To defeat the villain, the duo charged at him from and threw swift combinations of punches and kicks in the front.

Paragas was on guard with them, if the scouter's numbers were correct than these two might actually be able to beat him together if given the chance. The Saiyan blocked every strike able to keep up with the two of them, he even threw strikes of his own but he was begining to be pushed back forcing him to dodge and block.

17 and 18 then aimed their palms in the center of the elder's chest and blasted a combined yellow energy blast launching him away from the lookout, the twins then flew wanting to him glad that they sended him away from there friends and allies.

. (-)-(-)-(-)-(-)- (-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Trunks and Tarble made it to the time chamber, when the door close they couldn't help but look at the area in astonishment. It was just white the sky, the ground, it looked like it was never ending. Also Trunks had difficulty breathing, however Tarble seemed to be unfazed by it.

Trunks looked around thinking of what 17 and 18 had to go through in this room. "This is unbelievable, there's nothing here and I can't even sense Paragas's energy in here."

Tarble gave no reply instead he tried to feel everyone's energy just outside the chamber and felt nothing. He shook himself and looked to Trunks. "I believe we should get started now, we don't know if 17 and 18 can beat Paragas, so we'll have to get even stronger than they are now in case things don't go as planned." He said as he started floating.

His nephew nodded and floated as well. The both of flew a good distance away from the temple but close enough to be able to see it.

The full blooded Saiyan powered down to his regular SSJ level and rubbed his shoulders grunting that were still aching.

Trunks gave a worried look. "Are you sure it's ok to start now, you used a lot of energy to protect us from Paragas."

Tarble shook his head. "I'll be fine, I'll rest after this, you can train on your own for the rest of the day afterwards." The 2nd born prince took his fighting stance.

"Now...show me what you can do." ...Trunks smiled and got into his own stance."Right" The son of Vegeta powered up his golden aura and charged.

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

Paragas crashed Into a forest area, the impact created a huge crater with him in the center. The elder Saiyan growled as he rubbed his head in pain, he glared up at the two who put him in this humiliating position.

Both 17 and 18 stared down at their opponent still in their fighting stances. Naturally 17 decided to play poke the bear.

"Hey old timer, are you alright did you break your back or something?" 17 joked.

Paragas clenched his fists so tight that they were dripping in blood.

18 decided to join in. "Come on 17, we should hold back some more after all we both know how fragile the elderly can be."

The one eyed Saiyan did not take the insults lightly, a tick mark grew on his head. "You imbeciles don't know...who your dealing with!" The SSJ powered up all the power he held in reserves, his power was causing a hurricane the trees around him were crushed before his tremendous might.

17 and 18 were both forced to block the energy he was giving off. 17 couldn't help but say another quip. "Hey your ruining the scenery, tiss, tiss be nice to nature."

Paragas flew towards the twins at great speeds and throws his own combination of punches and kicks at the two, leading to a clash with him keeping up with both cyborgs.

17 and 18 try their best to fight back evading, blocking his blows and counterattacking the SSJ with ferocious blows only to have Paragas able to do the same.

The clash creates shockwaves all around the forest and ends with Paragas blocking 18's elbow strike with his right arm and blocking a punch to his stomach from 17 with his left knee the three cringe and back away to create some distance Paragas shows signs of fatigue while the twins show none as if waiting for him to catch his breath.

Paragas then presses the button on his scouter to display the power levels of these two and compare it with the data he collected from 13, his eyes were widened at the differences. Growling he demands. "It 's only been a day and you two are much stronger than you were a day ago, unable to hold your own against the likes of 13 how is it possible that you got this strong?"

17 looked at the man and yawned. "I don't feel like talking about it with you." He then looked to 18. "You 18?"

18 looked to the Saiyan and gave a mocking smile. "Please, look at him, he's obviously the all muscle and no brains type he wouldn't understand if we tried telling him."

Paragas tightened his fists and roared in anger with his aura flaring over the area and charged at the two of them.

17 and 18 reacted quickly as Paragas's hands went right through their necks going through after images, then as Paragas realized it he was surrounded by after images of 17 and 18 moving around him if it was only one of them he'd be able to find the real one in less than a minute but with the two working together he wasn't sure which were the real ones.

'Accel Afterimage' The twins said simultaneously. This was the technique they used against 13 only due to

17's voice was heard from all around Paragas. Paragas punched afterimages of the two trying to find the real one. The real 17 punched Paragas in the gut making him hold his stomach in pain, he retaliated with a backhand only for it to hit another afterimage.

Paragas growled and he started punching and kicking the images of 18. The real 18 then kneed the one eyed Saiyan in the back of his head making him hold his head in pain. Paragas did an elbow from behind only to hit another image of the deadly Beauty.

Paragas stopped hitting and growled at the insults that were starting to get to him. "Don't mock me I'm the strongest in the universe!"

17 started talking again. "No ones denying that old man, but you seem a little sloppy." 17 was going for a punch to Paragas's gut.

Paragas manages to see past 17's afterimage and turns around grabbing the real 17's leg as the afterimage fades through him. "Got you!" Just then 18 elbows the one eye'd Saiyan's head from above forcing him to let go of 17 giving the Android time to knee the SSJ in the gut. Angrier Paragas tries to backhand both of them only to hit more afterimages.

18's voice spoke again. "Had enough yet old man?"

17 picked up after that. "I'm pretty sure he's not."

Suddenly Paragas starts to realize that there only trying to provoke him when he clearly has the power in this fight, he dedides to guard to protect all his vital areas and keep focus on the afterimages around him to stay focus. 'Stay calm there's a way out of this.' He forced himself to grind through the punches and kicks the Androids were throwing at him waiting for an opportune time to escape this technique of theirs.

The male Cyborg decided to continue with making Paragas worked up. "Hey come on grandpa, don't tell me you gone silent on us." He said throwing a kick at his back which only pushed him as he realized the Saiyan was surrounding himself with his energy.

Paragas was trying to come up with a way out of this without leaving any chance. 'I can create an explosive wave around me, no if they survive that I might have no energy to combat them.'

18 went for a punch to the old man's face only to find out that he was shielding himself with his energy. 'He's planning something.'

17 chuckled as he attacked different points of Paragas's defenses. 'You'll wear yourself out soon old man.'

The SSJ keeps himself in his shield waiting for an opportunity and then he sees that both 17 and 18 are going for an elbow strike to his neck area, with great speed he grabs both of their necks, the afterimages all around him disappear since he caught the real ones. "Hahaha, finally you two shut up."

Both 17 and 18 raise their hands to Paragas's face in an attempt to blast him to make him let go only for him to quickly smash their heads together and fly down ward holding the twins as he raced towards the crater he formed, he crashed down with 17 and 18's head first creating a cloud of dust around them.

Paragas chuckled as he stood up and raised 17 and 18's head's up, both of them had their eyes closed as if unconscious. "Hahahaha, now then." He clenched his grip on them tighter making them cringe as he caught off their breathing. "After this your friends will share the same fate."

17 tried kicking at him as he kept kicking but it was futile as the Saiyan only squeezed harder. "Gaaaaah" The Android tried squeezing his grip on the ssj's arm but it didn't seem to bother him in the least.

Paragas laughed at their pathetic attempts to break free. "King Vegeta must have been embarrassed seeing his son's demise by you two neither of you can even-"

18 thrusted her hand up and blasted Paragas in the face forcing him to loosen his grip on them, she then kneed him in the stomach and 17 backhanded him sending him flying and crashing through many trees.

17 was holding his throat coughing and kept his eyes were Paragas was thrown. "Took you long enough."

18 was holding her throat as well. "Shut up I had to make sure he was off guard, I didn't want my face to crash against your hard head head again."

The male Cyborg then cracked his neck and got into a stance. "It just hit me, maybe we should have tried learning how to sense energy while we were in that room."

His sister took her own stance. "It wouldn't have mattered, there was nothing we could have tested it on in there."

17 shrugged. "True"

A golden light appeared in the forest racing towards the duo.

17 smiled and charged forward. "Here we go!"

"Hmph" 18 said racing right next to him.

Paragas snarled as he was flying towards them. "I'll turn you to ashes!"

The three entered into another clash of punches and kicks making the sounds akin to thunder. Paragas is fighting to keep himself from tiring as the Androids keep fighting with all their might with their only worry being hit by Paragas strong and fast strikes.

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

Back in the time chamber Trunks is on his knees while Tarble is standing there unharmed.

The full blooded Saiyan gives a stern look. "I believe that will be enough for today."

Trunks stood up immediately. "N-no I'm not down yet." His knees are shaking struggling to keep up.

Tarble shakes his head. "The purpose of this training is to make you stronger not to kill you." He stated pointing to the time chamber. "Now please go rest, I need to do my own training."

Relunctantly Trunks nods. "Alright" He said as we began walking to the temple. 'It feels back when Gohan made me take breaks when I didn't want to, I guess that Tarble already figured out that I'm dragging him down.'

Tarble watches as Trunks walks away and smiles. 'He's already close to the limit of an ordinary SSJ that I discovered.' He then powers up. 'Vegeta you should be proud.' He thought sad he became an ASSJ to begin his own training.

Ok so guys I think I got rusty during my time away from writing can you please put what you thought on this chapter on any mistakes you found that indicate poor writing. I'd appreciate it. Either way feels good to write again.

Shadowwriter01 after rereading my chapters I agree with you my previous was not my best work, I suppose I should have skipped the fight scene since we all know the outcome. By the way I see your fanfic had a couple updates while I was away I'll be sure to read and review.

Guest- Glad you liked that and good news now that Trunks is in the time chamber and he's stronger than he was in the main timeline who knows how strong he'll be can you guess?

SylviaS7- haven't heard from you in awhile I hope you find the time to catch up on this and I'm glad your liking what I've done so far.

Bornsinner1-Thx I hope to see another review in later chapters.

Moahammed Alzo- Not with the one year limit and even if it could the story would have been boring and predictable, Goku has been dead for 20 years he has stronger than he was in canon in the buu saga not very fun huh?

Have an awesome day see u in the next chapter. :)
