Sorry for the wait, here's the chapter hope you enjoy.

Limits Of The Machine

Android 16 was flying at full speed to Trunks's location, his power core was making him faster but still he wouldn't make it. He has seconds at best. But he had an idea, 16 put his wrists under his forearms and took his hands off. He pointed his arms behind him. "Hell Flash!" He flew at even faster growing speeds to Trunks's location. "I will save you!" He yelled as he was going faster and faster.

(-)-(-)-

Bojack's hand was squeezing Trunks's neck making him cough, with a sneer he said. "Give the Kais a message for me." He squeezed harder forcing more air out of Trunks's lungs.

Trunks knew he couldn't get out of this, his friends are too far away and they won't make it in time. 'I'm sorry.' He thought knowing that this was his mistake, he shouldn't have split his group up. Lapis's joke should have been taken seriously, but now he's going to die. Hopefully his friends will be able to stop them.

Bojack was about to put an end to the torture, he squeezed harder to snap Trunks' neck.

But to the Hera's surprise a green blur flew in and sent him crashing through trees and finally crash into a mountain.

The other Hera looked to see who just knocked their master away, the see a man with green armor and black spandex. They've seen him before on the first planet they conquered, it was one of the androids.

16 put his hands back on and turned around seeing Trunks barely conscious surrounded by four enemies holding him with a technique of some sort. 16 charged at them, one by one they we're knocked in the same direction as their leader.

Trunks was released from the strings and looked up at his savior. "16!" He yelled with a pained smile.

The Android looked to Trunks. "Trunks, are you able to continue fighting."

Trunks got up on one knee, shaking and panting. "I-I can try." He said as he got up to his feet. He powered up a blue aura surrounded him turning to gold and his Super Saiyan form came to be. "*PANT* *PANT* I'm sorry 16 but *PANT* this is the best I can manage right now. *PANT*"

16 eyed Trunks, his power barely compared to the henchmen, he looked to face the enemy getting up.

Bojack appeared behind his henchmen, he was bleeding from his mouth, and veins were appearing on his face. "You! Your one of those androids!" He yelled powering up his green aura, he looked to his crew. "You four out of the way, this one is mine!"

"Yes Master!" All yelled.

Bojack charged at 16 with a fist cocked back, and threw it as hard as he to his face.

16 merely raised his arm blocking the blow, creating a wind around the area.

The other Hera's eyes widened, they've rarely ever seen anyone take an attack from their leader..

Kugo seemed to speak for them. "Impossible"

"What!" Bojack shouted just as surprised.

16 threw a left straight sending the Hera flying, he looked to Trunks and the rest of Bojack's gang.

"Don't worry about me, I'll manage!"

"Negative" 16 stated and staring at the henchmen. "You must escape at your current power you wouldn't last long."

"But 16!"

"Go!" The Android replied. "I will put your mother's upgrades to use." He said as his body started vibrating.

Trunks wanted to argue but new there'd be no point and flew off to Dende's lookout.

16 looked to the four Galaxy Soldiers in their fighting stances, all of them were shaky after they saw him counter their leader.

"Out of my way!" Bojack bellowed as he stood up, released his aura that shredded his over coat and bandana. His skin changed to a sickly green and his hair turned to blazing red. The same change as Kugo only much, much more powerful. "Chase the coward, this one is mine!"

The Galaxy Soldiers flew.

16 tried to get to them only to be punched by Bojack sending him crashing against a boulder.

"You contend with me machine!" Bojack yelled firing a green energy wave at him.

16 flew out and upward letting the blast destroy the mountain beneath him. His scanners looked at Bojack's new form, his strength now equaled or surpass Broly. However his clockwork acceleration is still making him stronger, he'll have to buy time to gain the strength needed to kill him. He'll need to handle Bojack, hopefully Trunks can escape the henchmen chasing him. "I will destroy you."

Bojack sneered. "Haven't heard that one before."

Android 16 charged straight at Bojack and threw a punch. Only Bojack swayed his head and kneed the Android and punched his face sending him flying. Bojack flies forward and throws another punch at 16 sending him back further.

Bojack smiles as he aims his hand at him and fires his Grand Smasher. A big green energy ball fires towards 16 and hits sending him further down until he crashed into the ground. "Hahaha!" He laughs looking down as the Android stood up covered in dirt but no signs of damage. "I must say this planet knows how to create a good punching bag, perhaps I'll allow whoever made you live to rebuild the army I've lost."

16 stood up and spoke. "I'm afraid you'll find that difficult."

Bojack chuckled. "I can be very persuasive to get what I want. Your maker will have no choice if they want to live."

16 wasn't the type to make small talk to his enemies, but he had to buy time for his power to match Bojack's transformation. "You misunderstand, my creator has long passed."

"Hmm" Bojack sighed. "Shame, oh well!" He yelled as he flew at 16 like a bullet.

16 crossed his arms as Bojack threw a punch at his block sending him flying. Bojack then threw a green energy blast at the android. 16 uncrossed his arms and punched the blast away from him, his sensors alerted him and he turned around to see Bojack far away upside down with hands aimed at him and fired another green energy blast at him. This pushed the Android back through several boulders creating large clouds of dust.

Bojack landed on the ground and threw another energy blast into the cloud of smoke. It created a giant green energy dome that created an earthquake. A toothy grinned showed on his face, he then looked to the direction he sensed his Galaxy Soldiers. He levitated and turned to fly towards them.

*Grab*

Bojack growled as he looked down at his right arm to see that his is wrist ensnared in the Android's right arm.

"You lose." 16 said automatically.

Bojack simply threw a left kick to 16's head only for the Android to block it. "What!?" That was enough strength to shake him off from what he's seen so far."

"As I've said." 16 tightened his grip on Bojack's wrist making the pirate wince as 16 pulled and punched the Hera's face sending him skidding on the ground and stopping. "You lose."

(-)-(-)-

Trunks flew as fast he could, he can sense the other four chasing him. 'I can't let them catch me again!' He thought as he turned around. "Take this!" He shouted tossing a barrage of energy blasts at his pursuers.

The four Heras moved around dodging the energy blasts that head their way.

Bido chuckled. "Like a cornered rat!" He laughed. "I can't believe you had trouble with him Kugo!"

"Shut up!" He replied deflecting an energy blast away from his face.

Bujin chuckled as he kicked one upwards. "Say gentlemen how does a wager sound to you?"

"Name it!" Bido yelled as he kept deflecting the energy waves.

"First to capture him gets the other's next plunder!"

Kugo smiled. "I'm game."

Zangya chuckled. "Then keep up!" She yelled flying faster to their target.

The others soon followed.

Trunks growled as he turned around and kept flying. "I have to get to Dende! But I can't lead them to him!" He tried to think of away out of this as the sun blinded him for a moment, he looked up at it and realized. "Course" He fought the urge to face palm.

The Hera were getting closer to their target.

Bujin is within range and brought out his hands. "I win!"

Trunks quickly turned around. "Solar Flare!"

A blinding light appeared and surprised the Hera.

"Perfect!" Trunks yelled as he kept flying forward.

"My eyes!" Bido yelled.

"Aah!" Kugo covered his eyes.

"So close!" Bujin screamed in anguish.

"What was that!" Zangya demanded with rage.

(-)-(-)-

Android 16 eyed his opponent carefully, Bojack is still the stronger fighter right now and he'll need to buy time until he reaches the level necessary to challenge him.

Bojack was dusting himself off with a frown and looked at the Android. "Hmph, I suppose I've been to easy on you." He made a large toothy grin. "I think now I should find your off switch." He said as his aura surrounded him shaking the earth.

16 took some steps back as his sensors picked up Bojack's energy, his power may rival or surpass Broly, and his own power is in between Trunks's Super Saiyan from and this green behemoth. "It will not be easy."

"Heh" Bojack sneered. "Let's see!" He yelled as he charged forward and threw a right hook to 16's face sending soaring. Bojack kept flying and punched the Android's chest multiple times. The Hera then stopped as 16 was going forward away from him. Bojack put his right hand forward and unleashed a green energy wave. It made contact and exploded.

16 was hurling down, spinning like a fallen plane. He hit the ground creating a large dust cloud.

Bojack flew over to the area he sent the android, his arms were crossed with a smile on his face. He knew that wasn't enough to dismantle the Android, he decided to wait until either he sees it scrapped or to make it so.

16 flew out of the smoke with his arms forward.

Bojack cackled as he caught both arms, the two were at a game of mercy in the air.

"Grr" 16 pushed with all his might but Bojack floated in place with a smug grin.

Bojack said nothing as he pushed against 16 making him go back with a minor struggle. The pirate then started pulling the Android's arms, he was intending on ripping them off.

16 struggled knowing he won't be able to fight him without the use of his arms, he looked into Bojack's eyes and sent two red energy beams from his pupils.

"Gaaaah!" Bojack let go and brought his hands to his eyes. "My eyes! What have you done?!" He yelled seeing nothing but black.

16 saw his chance, he punched the mighty Hera in his gut, then his face multiple times. He then stopped and axe kicked the pirate.

Bojack didn't see anything but knew he was going down, he roared in pain from his eyes and from the bruising he got from the Android's assault. He hit the ground creating a spider web crack under him.

16 took his arms under his forearms and pointed his blasters. "Hell Flash!"

Bojack's right eye was beginning to open but now he sees nothing but light. "AAAAAH!" He roared as he was covered in a bid yellow explosion.

The explosion sent whirlwinds across the landscape, blowing away boulders and trees.

16 still in the air put his arms back on and looked down. His scanners still detected life, he cringed. The attack didn't take too much energy from Bojack if any at all, the smoke clears and he can see the pirate still standing with scratches across his body.

Bojack smiled and flew upwards at the Android. The Hera rammed his elbow against the robot's stomache, he then uppercut it, and pressed a small energy ball against the center of it's chest sending him down again and crashing.

16 looked down at his chest to see some of his metal showing from the middle of his armor, he got up on one knee and looked ahead to see Bojack floating down. He landed a few feet across from him.

Bojack gave a hearty laugh at the Android. "Hahahaha!" A green light emitted from his right hand and he jumped with his arms raised and thrusted a green energy down at his prey.

16 had stood up and formed a cross block. The blast made contact and exploded creating a huge dust cloud.

Bojack growled as he sees the dust cleared and sees the machine struggling to keep standing. A smile formed on his face as he landed on the ground. He then ran at 16 and punched his face sending him rolling on the ground.

Once he stopped rolling 16 put his hands on the ground and pushed himself up. Seeming to struggle as he did, he took a knee and looked at his opponent far away.

Bojack frowned not believing how much of his precious time he just wasted. "Any last words before you die?" He asked as he spread his arms apart holding green energy blasts in his hands.

16 stood up and said. "You will lose."

Bojack merely smirked. "Say goodbye!" He yelled as he threw a large green energy wave heading for the Android.

16 put his hands against the Galactic Buster and stopped it as he was pushed back. "Rah!" He raised his arms upward sending the wave into space.

Bojack's eyes widened. "What?!" He yelled with a vein appearing on his face as he took a step back. "How did you?"

16 merely gazed at the stunned Hera. "As I've said... you will lose."

Bojack was shaking his head, his eyes were filled with rage, he looked to the robot. "I have not lost! Nor will I!" He yelled as he got up and flew for the android with his arms up.

16 flew backwards as Bojack charged at him like a wild animal, his eyes glowed red and he fired red beams from them at Bojack's face.

Bojack felt his face get struck and he stopped covering his face in pain. "Gaaaahh!" He was thankful that he didn't burn his eyes again.

16 then flew forward kneeing Bojack in the stomach with his left leg, then he kicked Bojack's side, then he kicked the pirate's legs making tumble over as 16 backhanded the pirate sending him flying through a tree.

Bojack roared again charging at the android and landing a knee up 16's stomach. The Hera pulled back his knee and slammed it again. He then grabbed 16 by his hair and slammed his head into his. The pirate then kicked the Android away, he gathered green energy into his right hand tossed it sending many green energy blasts in one strike.

16 stopped his momentum before he could hit the ground and crossed his arms to block the incoming energy blasts.

Bojack breathed in and out. He was seething with rage, this android was child's play moments ago but now it managed to actually harm him, and he was furious at that. The Hera aimed his palm where the smoke is knowing better now, only for 16 to appear in front of him and punch the Hera in the face. Bojack growled and began to exchange punches and kicks.

Bojack landed punch in 16's stomach and an elbow that launched the Android again. Bojack vanished and appeared where 16 was headed. He brought both arms up for a hammer fist, he slammed it down on 16's head sending him downward.

16 immediately got back up, aimed his right hand up and launched his fist.

Bojack was surprised but pulled his head up letting the fist fly by, but 16 slammed his foot up the pirate's stomach, and the rocket punch hit the back of Bojack's head making him bite his tongue, literally.

16 reattached his hand and then threw multiple punches at the plunderer.

"RAAH!" Bojack then formed a green energy barrier to push back 16, he then quickly threw a punch at 16's right shoulder making the android stumble, Bojack then punched the left shoulder and then he kicked 16's chest propelling him forward. Bojack flew forward leaving a trail of emerald light behind him and tried head butting the Android.

16 stopped his momentum and grabbed Bojack by his shoulders. 16 was being pushed back, then Bojack grabbed 16's shoulders and the two entered a struggle of pure force.

"Grrr!" Bojack was absolutely livid, somehow this android got stronger and faster in mere minutes. "I can't lose!"

16 keeps pushing back. "Negative, you lose today." He flew forward intending on ending the Hera's life.

(-)-(-)-

The four Hera's chasing Trunks recovered their sight and were in a forest looking around for their target.

"You sure he's here Zangya?" Kugo asked looking around the trees for Trunks.

"Yes I'm sure of it, I sensed his power here last." She replied.

"Then let's be quick, split up and find him." Kugo said.

The four did just that searching for the drained Trunks.

Speaking of, Trunks was hiding in a tree sensing the four of his chasers in the forest, he would have kept flying to Dende's but that technique drained him more than he thought. He had to power down to his normal state and hide in the forest. 'I have to be careful, it looks like they can suppress their power levels too.' He jumped off the tree and ran from hiding place to hiding place without using energy.

"If I can just- Ahh!"

A female voice interrupted. "Found you." She said with her hand out using her strings.

Trunks growled as he felt his energy draining again.

The three other Hera came around Zangya.

Zangya looked at her comrades smirking. "I win."

"Bah, lucky." Bido then turned to their prisoner. "But I'll take the kill."

"No" Kugo stated as he walked dragging his sword on the ground. "He's mine." He brought his blade to Trunks's neck.

"Grr" Trunks shook as the blade touched his neck.

Kugo smiled until his face met a blue sneaker.

Lapis rocket kicked Kugo away crashing through the trees.

Zangya looked at him with surprise until she was kicked as well from Lazuli's boot releasing Trunks from her grip.

Lazuli then thrusted her hands out tossing a pressure wave pushing the galaxy soldiers away. She looked to her friend. "Trunks are you ok?"

"Yeah" He said shaking as he tried to stand up. "But be careful with these guys, their strong and they have a few tricks."

"We can see that." Lapis said eying Trunks, if the got something on his calibre down then they must know more about fighting then just punching. "We can take the four of them, you should get to Dende."

Trunks nodded as he tried getting up. "Ah!"

"Trunks?" Lazuli asked worried.

"I... I can't move." He said, he was too exhausted from all the draining they did to him.

"Oh great" Lapis said sarcastically as their enemies were getting up.

Lazuli came to Trunks's side and helped him up. "I'll take him to the lookout."

The galaxy soldiers all surrounded them.

Bido smiled cracking his knuckles. "We're not letting you leave."

Lapis took a stance and Lazuli glared as she looked to Trunks.

"Just beat them first" Trunks suggested. "You can take them."

Lazuli hesitated but nodded, she set Trunks gently down and took a stance next to Lapis. "We need to protect him."

"Tell me something I don't know."

The four Hera's powered up ready to fight the sibling duo.

Well Trunks got away with his life, but can Lapis and Lazuli fight off Bojack's gang?

Review Responses

FF8cerebus: Well it depends on how many are using it and how strong their target is. Gohan was SSJ 2 and was unaffected by two of Bojack's men using the energy drain, but before that Gohan was trapped by three of Bojack's soldiers using the technique and couldn't get out of it because he was a regular SSJ. Trunks was using his regular SSJ form and was more vunreable, he just taken out Broly and he never knew Bojack existed so he assumed Kogu was the one in charge. Remember Trunks like his father has a habit of getting cocky like he did against Frieza and Cell in his ultra form.

shadowwriter01: Ya there the soldiers are a bunch of brainless idiots who think they'll survive because there on the 'winning side'. Now Trunks is paying the price.

Guest: Yup, no rules, just winning. Argh!

Guest: Ok I take back what I said, sorry for not looking into it, I should read into more situations. Honestly I can accept whatever I don't understand in Super if they put some effort in their transformations. Recoloring Super Saiyan and calling it a new form is ridiculous. At least Gt made the saiyan tails important again, and Super Saiyan 4 was badass and original. SSJ Blue is just boring and cheap. What's next Super Saiyan Purple? Green? White? Red? No explanation can convince me that SSJ blue is a good transformation. Sorry had to rant for a moment.

Now please type something about my story. This is the longest review I've read that doesn't include a single mention of the story it's suppose to be a review but it feels like you skip the actual chapter just to tell me things I didn't look into. Tell me you like or hate the story. Either one will work.

To A Saiyan Pride Is All:Bojack took long enough for 16 to interfere by using whatever reserves of his power stay alive. Combing Ultra with SSJ 2, that could be a thing. Maybe.

Well that's all the reviews for the chapter. As usual if you liked this story and would like to see more please like, fav, follow and review. It would mean alot and helps me out.

As usual have an awesome day! :)
