Repeat To Move Forward

Lazuli looked at her opponent 'Piccolo', funny how she'd have to fight considering she was the one who killed him.

'Piccolo' took his stance and smiled.

She looked to her side to see Zangya already gone ahead and fighting the fake human Z-fighters. She's doing well but is struggling with all of them at once, after this imposter, she'll help with the others. Also, her brother is in the air dealing with 'Vegeta'. She'll need to end this quickly, though she prefers they take this out of the city.

"Not that you'd care but the people in this city were evacuated long before you arrived." 'Piccolo' stated with a smirk.

Lazuli looked at the imposter. "Really? And why is that?" It was odd how a villain would help.

"Easy, we actually care if this planet's people go extinct, unlike you." 'Piccolo' criticized.

Lazuli heard enough of the imposter's rant and charged him, she threw a punch holding nothing back.

'Piccolo' caught the punch in his hand.

Lazuli's eyes widened, he shouldn't have caught it so easily.

Quicker than she expected he kneed her stomach.

This caused her to yell in pain.

'Piccolo' then grabbed her face and stretched his arm. He pushed her through the house through another building.

Lazuli while still having 'Piccolo's hand on her face grabbed the Namekien's wrist in an attempt to pull it off.

But before she could 'Piccolo's arm was pulling the rest of his body, the imposter came with his leg out. He kicked her in the stomach and let go allowing her to go through the building she crashed into as well as a couple more through the city.

Three tall buildings fell as a result and it caused a massive dust cloud.

Beneath the rubble of the third Lazuli pushed through the rubble until she was on top. She grabbed her stomach surprised by the amount of force behind the brief assault.

'Piccolo' appeared in front of her with a grin.

Lazuli shook her head she needed to focus. The woman went for a kick at his side.

'Piccolo' blocked the attack with his forearm.

With great vigor Lazuli threw more punches and kicks but 'Piccolo' was fast enough to either block or avoid them.

'Piccolo' blocked a punch and went for a hand slice.

Lazuli ducked underneath and elbowed his abdomen.

'Piccolo' keeled over from the attack.

She kicked at his leg, his side, and then across his head. It forced him to be propelled away.

Lazuli then rose her arms forming a pink ball, her signature attack. "Power Blitz!" She tossed the ball.

Before he hit a building the blast detonated on his chest creating a huge pink explosion that lit up the whole city.

The woman floated over where the blast hit the fake Namekien and she waited to see if she finished the job. If what she was told from her brother was true then 'Piccolo' had to have taken damage.

When the smoke cleared 'Piccolo' was standing with half his shirt ripped, he had only minor scratches and smiled at the woman.

This was an unpleasant surprise, he's not that injured. But why? Her attacks should have done something!

Before she could have time to think further, 'Piccolo' flew up to her and threw a punch across her face causing her to yell.

He then threw another punch at her stomach and elbowed on top of her head.

She fell to the ground and crashed causing a tremor throughout the city.

Lazuli got up on one knee and placed a hand on her head, she glared up at the fake Namekien. She flew up to him and started throwing punches and kicks at him, he swiftly avoided or blocked the attacks.

Lapis sees her struggling against the fake Piccolo, clearly, she's not playing but he's able to hold her off better than he was against him.

"Surprised?"

He turned to his opponent 'Vegeta' who had a grin on his face.

"What's going on, how is he this much stronger than before?" Did Bulma find a way to make them stronger?

'Vegeta' chuckled and explained. "Our master found a way to increase his own power and pass it on to us. Using one of the techniques in Kakarot's disposal" 'Vegeta' explained as he looked over to see Piccolo retaliating and winning. It was all the result of the Spirit Bomb, 'Kakarot' used it to absorb energy throughout the galaxy and divided up the energy among his minions. "And you haven't even seen the most of what he can give, who knows maybe even the earthlings will be stronger than you." He said eying them fighting Zangya.

Lapis was at a loss for words, so they found a way to make them even stronger? What did that mean for them when Gohan would be created? And also, he glanced at Vegeta.

The prince wasn't that strong compared to them but he was their strongest adversary besides Gohan, now enhanced with cybernetics and with whatever Baby found to make them stronger? How much of a threat is he?

'Vegeta' sees the look of terror he gave and chuckled. "Oh not to worry Android, I haven't received his gift, I refused it." This got a look of confusion from the cyborg. " I already have become one of you, as disgusted as I am, I decided to see how strong this body is without further cheap ways to power." He explained put a hand up and gestured. "You have me at my weakest, so come at me now Android." He smiled maliciously.

Lapis squeezed his knuckles not only because he was being mocked but because with that cocky attitude Vegeta might actually have them beat. Whatever the case he can't avoid this fight, he'd help his sister but to do that he'd have to find a way to win this fight.

The human cyborg charged at the smirking 'Vegeta'.

Zangya was blocking punches and kicks at her sides from 'Tien' and 'Yamcha', neither of them was too strong but it was difficult to keep up with. She then heard the sound of what sounded like a buzz saw, she pushed her hands out sending both fake fighters away, and jumped to see an energy disk that was just about to hit her, she saw it slice through a building. She glanced up to see a short bald one with his hand gestured like he threw the thing.

Before she could try to do anything she felt her body being contained by something, almost like her Psycho Threads, she turned to see an even shorter man, almost like a child with his hands out.' Telekinesis huh?' She looked up to see the other short bald one with his hand up forming a yellow disc.

"Destructo Disk!" He tossed it at her.

Though her movements were slow she was still able to fly over it.

"Tri-Beam!"

She was slammed on the ground creating a yellow explosion that lightened the whole city.

When the light died down, a square-shaped hole showed beneath them.

"Think that got her?" 'Yamcha' asked as he flew to 'Tien's side.

"No way."

"Then don't stop firing, we need her dead so we can help the others!"

"Use your head they don't need it." 'Tien' countered as he looked down at the massive hole his attack caused. "Besides, we don't want to risk blowing the planet up, our powered-up bodies can destroy the planet if we aren't careful."

'Yamcha' nodded and glared down at the hole. They couldn't sense her energy, she was either seriously or injured or suppressing it.

"Let's go." 'Krillin' said though reluctantly as he flew down in the hole with the others in tow.

The four of them entered the center of the hole and had each other's backs. They took their stances as they touched the ground and looked around only to see nothing or sense her.

"You boys are really aggressive," Zangya announced as she came out of the shadows, her clothes were a bit burnt and she had some marks all over her body but she wasn't in too much pain. And one of her hands was glowing purple. "That is no way to treat a lady."

"Sorry, we don't want to do this but your clearly siding with the androids.." 'Krillin' said as the four of them went in different directions.

Zangya sees them split up and charged at her from different directions except for the smallest one no doubt intending on paralyzing her. She lifted her glowing hands, she had the perfect guinea pigs here. But then she glanced at the other battles taking place out of the crater, she can see the other fights taking place.

The green man was beating Lazuli badly, she was able to defend herself but it was clear who had the advantage.

More importantly to her, the spikey-haired Saiyan was beating the tar out of Lapis, he was barely able to hang in the fight.

Well, this was troublesome, she wanted to test it on her own opponents not to mention she'd waste a bit of her energy. "Tch" Zangya then thrust her arms at her sides, two small purple dots of energy were tossed.

The human 'Z fighters' were easily able to dodge, they watched the dots leave the crater and notice something off about their opponent.

'Yamcha' was quick to laugh. "Hah, you missed!"

'Krillin' noticed something happened to her energy. "Now's our chance, her energy's been reduced quite a bit."

Zangya said nothing as she watched her technique making sure their trajectory wasn't off. She used a lot of energy into that, she was barely able to stay in her transformation. One thing's for sure, both Lapis and the blonde bitch are going to owe her big time for this. She crossed her arms to block a punch from 'Tien'.

'Piccolo' blocked a punch from Lazuli and slammed an elbow on top of her head. He grinned as he was ready to charge down. But one of the purple dots that Zangya fired hit him from behind.

He felt a needle-like pain on his back, he glowed purple and stopped moving for a few seconds. Then the purple glow stopped. The fake Namekien turned to where the shot came from and sees the alien woman fighting the 'earthlings' she fired that at him. It didn't do much but it was strange that the alien's attack drained a bit of her energy.

Lazuli appeared behind him and punched across his face.

'Vegeta' felt ridiculous degrees of catharsis during this fight. He was aware that he wasn't the real Vegeta but he remembered the humiliation of becoming a Super Saiyan only for Kakaorot to die and he himself died to a machine.

The fake prince slammed a knee up the android's chin and threw a straight punch at his face. This felt like a cleansing.

Then a second later he felt a little prick at the back of his neck he glowed purple and for a second he felt it hard to move. He glanced to see it came from that green-skinned girl, fighting off the earthlings, he merely chuckled. How desperate are they before their might?

Lapis appeared and fired a Ki blast at Vegeta, it hit his mark and made him stumble for a second.

Both battles continued as if uninterrupted, Zangya's new attack seemed to only catch their attention for a second and nothing more.

On the surface that is.

In the chamber

Minutes came and went in the world, days came in went here.

The training with Iolite was improving, she was listening to him now and was able to make improvements to her fighting style being less predictable and more flexible for her opponent.

Trunks blocked a punch from the girl and tossed her to his left.

The young Super Saiyan stopped her momentum and fired an energy blast.

He deflected it and saw her charging at him.

She aimed a kick to his face, he moved his head to avoid but sees her hand ai down below.

Iolite fired a Ki ball at his leg, he lifted it before it can hit, and then she kicked across his face.

Trunks was surprised it's been days since she started listening to his critique but didn't think she'd progress this quickly.

Iolite smiled. "Yes! I got you, I finally hit you!" She laughed proudly.

The sound of her laugh was so refreshing, it's almost like old times. A small smile was on his face, but he remembered this was training. He punched her straight in the face, it made her fall on her back.

Iolite grabbed her face from the pain and looked at her father.

Trunks' smile fell as he walked over to her. "I'm sorry Iolite, but I didn't say we were done."

The little girl turned to him with a hand on her cheek. "I- I'm fine dad, I c-can take it." She was fighting not to cry like she usually did. Her Super Saiyan form fell and was returned to base.

He placed a hand on her head. "You did great today Iolite, I'm proud of you."

That warmed the little girl's heart but she tried not to show it, she was still angry at her parents for everything but hearing that made her happy and she decided that she would try to be better at listening to her father. "Thank you"

He nodded and stood up. "Now go get some rest, I'm going to start training."

Iolite was about to but she stopped and looked at him for a second.

"What is it?"

Iolite said nothing for a few seconds, she was told that she can ask anything so she decided to go for it. "Can you tell me why you're hitting me now?" She asked.

Trunks understood why she would ask that, he never hit her despite Lazuli's reasoning that it would be a good part of it. "Because, if things go wrong you need to be ready for people to hurt you. I wanted to start teaching you this way when you were older and stronger. But now you need to learn how to take a hit." It sounded harsh to say to his five-year-old, but she needed to assess the reality of the situation.

Iolite looked away for a bit thinking about the answer, there weren't any bad guys before so it made sense that he'd want to do it now. She decided that he wasn't lying about this, she knew he asked to trust him but it was hard for her. "Was this how Gohan trained you?"

Trunks thought back to the man who was like an elder brother or even a father to him. He remembered sparring with him and being pushed into a whirlpool when he was out of energy then offered a towel after he got back to shore without any help from him. That was a better memory than it should be. "Yes, yes it was."

Iolite looked at him strangely and then looked away for a bit.

"What's wrong?"

She didn't say anything she just continued to look away.

To make things easier Trunks knelt down to her level to make things easier. "Iolite, I know there's more you want to ask, go ahead." He was serious and was ready to tell her anything as he promised.

Iolite looked at her father and asked the question. "How come you never talk about grandpa Vegeta?"

Now that one he couldn't help but be surprised by he didn't say much about her grandfather growing up, he mostly only told stories about Gohan. "Why are you asking about him now?"

"You never said much about him, you only told me about Gohan and you only ever said Grandpa Vegeta was strong and brave when he," She stopped her sentence not wanting to finish it, she tried to reword it. "when you were a baby." She then looked up at him. "Was he another secret?"

Yes, actually the family already had to hide the fact that her mother and uncle were the androids and he didn't want to have to tell her more lies. As he promised he answered honestly. "Yes he was, we weren't sure how to tell you about him, we thought we'd wait until you were older along with your mother and uncle's truth. So we only told you a bit about my father."

Iolite looked down disappointed that he kept another lie in their family. But he was keeping his promise and telling her everything. So she decided to press the matter further. "Can you tell me more?"

Trunks wasn't sure about this. "Your grandfather was a complicated man, he wasn't close to my mother like I am with yours. But in Otherworld, he became a strict but good man and he did admit that he cares for me and your grandmother."

She looked at him a little upset.

"What's wrong?"

Iolite crossed her arms. "You said no more secrets, saying little counts as keeping secrets."

Trunks mentally sighed, why did she have to be smart for a toddler? Even though she didn't inherit his aptitude for technology as he did from his mother she was still a member of the smartest family ever conceived on earth.

"You're right, I'm sorry." Trunks replied, her back is turned to him. "Please, turn around, I'll tell you."

She looked at him a little angry that he tried to keep a secret but, she thought maybe it was a mistake. So she nodded wanting to listen to his tale.

"Your grandfather Vegeta came from a race of warriors called the Saiyans" He sees that she's a little annoyed, understandable given that's what little she knew of him. "And, he used to work for the evil alien, Frieza."

Iolite looked at her father surprised and a bit sad. So another member of their family was evil?

Trunks saw the disappointment on her face, he didn't want her to think of her late grandfather like that, he decided to tell her a bit of why Vegeta was the way he was. "Your grandfather was born in a place where he had to do evil because the Saiyans of the old days thought that evil was strength and good was weakness." Trunks explained, he didn't know if this would make sense for a child so young, but he had to try. "He wasn't controlled like your mother, but he did grow up in a place where he was told that the strong were in charge and those that didn't listen were bad. Imagine Iolite what if I and your mom told you that you had to be evil to be strong?" He tried explaining it in a way his young daughter would understand.

The young girl didn't say anything and imagined a scenario. It was hard to picture it, but knowing that she was lied to did make it easier. She didn't say anything and only nodded.

Seeing that she understood he continued. "Your grandfather hated working for Frieza." Trunks continued. "But understand that if he didn't, Frieza would destroy him.."

Trunks went on to continue the story of his father, how he was an enemy to the previous Z-fighters and wanted to destroy Frieza but not because he was good but to take his place. And then he told her about how he met his mother and had him.

Iolite listened to the entire story with intrigue, at first, she was disappointed to know her grandfather was evil but hearing how he turned against Frieza, hearing how strong he became in otherworld and how he did end up caring for her father and grandmother.

"So grandpa was becoming a good guy then?" She asked. "Is that why he was good when you met him in otherworld?"

Trunks can see she was taking this better than the other secret, good. "Yes, actually."

"And wait Grandpa was a prince right, so does that make you one and me a princess?" She asked with practical stars in her eyes.

Trunks was caught off guard by that, he began to chuckle.

"Hey what's so funny!" She yelled blushing now feeling embarrassed.

"It's nothing Iolite, I'm sorry it's just your right." He said getting serious again and looked at her. "So you believe me right?"

Iolite looked down for a bit, she wasn't really sure, she told him he'd trust him now, though the idea of him lying was still in the back of her head she nodded.

Trunks was glad that they were moving forward in this. He thought of something important to mention. "You know, your grandmother my father's life a secret from me."

The little girl looked at her father in surprise. That's just like her parents. "S-she did?"

"Yeah" Trunks frowned remembering back when he always asked about his father. Neither Gohan nor his mother said too much about him only that he was tough and very arrogant. "She only told me about him when she thought I was old enough to understand where he came from and why he was as harsh as he was. She didn't want me to think bad of him because she knew there was more to him." He explained.

After hearing that, Iolite started to understand a little more about why her parents told her the lies.

Trunks looked at Iolite for a second and started walking to the building. "Come here let me show you something."

The father and daughter walked to the wall of the temple and trunks placed his finger on it. "In otherworld, when I was training with your grandfather, he showed me the symbol of our royal family." Trunks concentrated Ki on his finger and he began to draw. "This is the symbol of the royal family that ruled over the Saiyans." He finished and let his daughter look at it. "A symbol of our pride."

It looked like an anchor it had an arrow pointed up, half of a one pointed diagonal on both sides, two lines separate underneath, and half a circle underneath with sharp ends. It was the symbol of the Vegeta bloodline and the Saiyan empire. From what Vegeta told Trunks King Vegeta always wore the symbol on his armor

"Back then, it was also a symbol of evil." Trunks explained to his daughter. "But your grandfather would've changed the symbol's meaning, just like Goku changed what it meant to be a Saiyan, like your mother and uncles are changing what it means to be androids, you and I are going to change what this symbol means." He looked at his daughter who was looking at the symbol. "We're going to make this into a symbol for hope, ok Iolite?"

The little girl looked up at her father and back at the symbol thinking about all that he told her about it. It was like how her mom, uncle Lapis and uncle 16 want to change what it means to be an android. She looked up at her father and gave a weak smile. "Ok"

Trunks smiled, seeing her this way eased the burden. They still had a long way to go but he believed that he's earned at least some of the trust he and Lazuli lost.

"Dad?"

He looked down at her ready for another question.

"In otherworld did grandfather forgive the androids?"

He nodded with no hesitation. "He didn't say it, but yes he did, he knew that it wasn't their fault."

Iolite didn't like that answer but he did say that her grandfather didn't like to show emotion. And if he forgave her mother and uncle maybe she should too? She looked at the symbol, with everything she's been learning from her father maybe she should try to move on.

After all, if someone who used to be really evil like her grandpa can be good why can't her mom and uncle?

Lapis was being punched repeatedly in the stomach by 'Vegeta' and then kneed in the face.

The Android flew back but caught himself and looked around to see nothing. He wasn't anywhere to be seen, but for some reason he felt something strange, it felt like Zangya's energy? He slowly looked over his shoulder to see it wasn't Zangya but the imposter floated there, he wasn't even facing him, he was leaving his back open for him, the ultimate insult any fighter can give an opponent.

'Vegeta' didn't face him and continued talking. "It's a shame, I refused Baby's power because I thought you'd provide a decent challenge, yet you are actually beneath my notice."

The cyborg felt insulted but he kept a straight face, he was truly horrified, if the clone really is only showing the power it was created with then how much stronger would he become if he were to take this power?

"Well? My back is turned, I won't hit back for a few seconds if that's what you are worried about."

Desperate to win Lapis immediately took the offer and slammed his fists on top of the prince's head. He then aimed his hands down and fired multiple Ki shots. The empty city shook beneath his might as he kept firing.

He stopped and floated down to the top of a building and looked down at the area he shot.

When the smoke cleared there he stood standing, half his armor was destroyed, part of his jumpsuit had holes in it.

This caused Lapis to worry. 'Are you kidding, what am I supposed to do?'

"Last time you had me on the ground I felt so much shame and despair." 'Vegeta' started floating. "You appear to lost your touch, allow me to show you how you did it." He grinned as he dashed upward.

Lapis threw a punch only for 'Vegeta' to duck and kicked up his stomach, then flew up and knocked him to the ground creating a huge dust cloud.

'Vegeta' laughed with his arms crossed, he waited there for the Android, but when the dust settled he was nowhere to be seen. No doubt he was planning a sneak attack since he can't sense his energy. But the same can be said about his own. He descended down and looked around. Should he find a place to hide as well? It'd likely be for the best that way he can avoid whatever sneak attack he had in mind.

The imposter jumped around from place to place, at the very least he should keep moving to avoid a sneak attack.

Just as he jumped off a building Lapis appeared in front of him with his arms at his left side, wielding intense electric green energy.

'Vegeta' was shocked at this, he made sure to stay out of plain sight so how did he find him with no energy to sense? "Wha-"

"Electric Strike!" He slashed his arms firing a gigantic arc of green energy the size of a building at the fake prince.

'Vegeta' was struck by the attack, the gigantic green slash was pushing him back. He placed his hands on it as the attack dissipated and shrunk further and further into nothing. The Tuffle Saiyan then looked around. "Where did you go Android!"

Lapis hid behind a building, he focused on this energy he was sensing from the Android Vegeta. It wasn't his, it was Zangya's. 'This is Zangya's new technique she bragged about, she must've hit him with it earlier and now I can sense a little of her power from him.' He looked over to see the prince firing energy blasts at buildings to clear the area. 'Though it doesn't seem to be doing everything she said, probably because the gap between her and him is so wide. Oh well, I can work with this.'

'Vegeta' growled as he flattened another building. "What android?! Can't fight me now that we both have the same cybernetics in our bodies?!" He turned to another building ready to fire another blast.

"Photon Flash!"

The prince turned towards a wave of yellow energy fired at him. He caught it in his hands as it pushed him away, he turned around to see Lapis standing there with another Photon Flash aimed at him.

"Photon Collision!" He yelled firing another of his signature.

'Vegeta' yelled as he pulled back an arm and used his other to catch the newly fired Photon Flash, he was trapped between the two attacks.

Lapis's widened, he's never seen anyone able to stop his Photon Collision.

The fake prince roared as, his aura golden Aura grew larger, the blasts started separating as he pushed them. He started chuckling.

Lapis' was horrified at what he was seeing. "No way! You can't!"

'Vegeta' gave a hearty laugh and then with great effort he lifted his arms up sending the Photon Flash's to the air the twin yellow lasers left earth to space.

Lapis looked at the fake prince shocked, Zangya's technique doesn't seem to affect him at all.

The imposter grinned at him. "So what's next?"

'Piccolo', threw a couple of quick jabs in Lazuli'a gut, then in her face, he aimed his hand forward and fired his Explosive Demon Wave. A large yellow energy wave fired up close.

At the last second Lazuli blocked the attack but was sent flying. When the attack faded she sees him coming at him a second time.

Lazuli threw a punch only for it to miss, she then kicked only for it to miss as well. She was about to throw a punch but he swayed it.

'Piccolo' grabbed her arm and uppercut her. The force sent her flying, he flew up above her and kicked downward on top of her face, the two landed on the ground shaking the empty city.

He stood over and grinned as he aimed his hand down at the cyborg. "Ready for your demise?"

Lazuli immediately rolled away and fired a Ki wave.

'Piccolo' kicked the energy upward he sees her run at him and blocked a punch with his forearm. The two entered a barrage of punches and kicks, they disappeared across the empty city and matched each other blow for blow.

Of course 'Piccolo' was in the lead with his superior strength and speed. He was about to throw a backhand at full strength. But to his surprise, his opponent ducked underneath it quicker than he expected.

Lazuli then kicked at his leg, his side, and across his face.

'Piccolo' was dazed and confused. There's more strength and speed in these attacks than there should be.

Lazuli went for a gut punch but 'Piccolo' vanished and appeared behind her, with a leg wind up.

He threw a kick only for her to turn around and block the kick.

'Piccolo's eyes widened, he should've been too fast for her to see.

Lazuli said nothing and threw a straight punch at 'Piccolo's face, she doesn't know why he's slowing down, it might have something to do with that weird energy that felt like the witch's but she wasn't going to let this slip by, she needed to finish the clone and help her brother. She flew at him.

'Piccolo' sees her coming and stretched his arms at either side of her. He wrapped his arms around her, she struggled to force herself out in his grip. The Tuffle Namkien grinned and opened his mouth firing a powerful yellow energy wave.

The Cyborg pushed her arms against the binds and with a yell, she pulled her arms free ripping 'Piccolo's arms into pieces. She swayed downward as the mouth blast flew past her, she sees it hit a mountain and turn into a gigantic yellow explosion, it created a wind current and a giant blinding explosion.

Lazuli righted herself in the air and looked down to see a not so pleasing sight but it was for the best.

'Piccolo' floated, he was now armless, he looked shocked, maybe even horrified. And he was doing something no Android would do. He was panting, trying to catch his breath. 'What is this, how can this be I-' Before he could contemplate further Lazuli flew down to him. Quickly he rose his arms and regenerated new ones covered in slime, which seemed to add to his newly found fatigue.

Lazuli grabbed his hands and the two began to push against each other in a contest of power. The enhanced human growled as she was able to push him back.

'Piccolo' tried with all his might to push forward but to no avail not only is he getting tired, but the android was actually stronger than him. "What is this! 18 what trick have you pulled!" He demanded.

The Cyborg's eyes widened for a bit and she glared. That name, no that number, she hated it. In the past, she remembered her human name Lazuli, in another life she wouldn't care for it and would just use her number as a name. But after everything that happened in this life, after tormenting humanity, Trunks under Dr. Gero's control and finally earning Bulma's, Trunks' forgiveness, no acceptance that it wasn't her fault she wanted to regain what Dr. Gero stole from her. Her humanity and so she chose her old human name. With an angry growl. "Baby, that body is supposed to have enhanced hearing right?"

The Tuffle Namekien was being pushed further and his hands cracked in the Cyborg's tightening grip.

"My data says you do." She answered for him. "So listen close!" She began to pull much to the imposter's surprised and began to utter silently knowing that he can hear her words. "My." She tossed him spinning in the air.

'Piccolo' was trying to right himself but before he could Lazuli appeared behind him.

"Name." She yelled as he kicked his arm, a loud breaking sound was heard as he was sent through a building it collapsed as he went through it.

The fake this time caught himself and immediately turned around, he looked below and then finally above. And it was too late.

Lazuli came down with her hands clenched together and slammed them on top of 'Piccolo's head. "Is."

The ground shook beneath them as a dust cloud was added.

Normally Lazuli shouldn't sense Piccolo's energy but whatever Zangya did is still affecting him she can tell that he was still there because she can sense the Hera's energy down below and sees she's still fighting the fake earthling fighters. She aimed her hands down preparing a pink ball and she finished her sentence. "Lazuli." She fired the blast and it turned into many small pink projectiles, her Infinity Bullet rained down on top of the fake Namekien.

'Piccolo' barely got up and tried to block as many small energy blasts. It resulted in a series of mini pink explosions.

When the smoke cleared, Piccolo' was on a knee breathing in and out. He was beyond frustrated, he wasn't exactly dominating before but it was clear he had the advantage. Piccolo was breathing in and out, he was getting exhausted. His eyes widened at that. 'Wait exhausted? No, that can't be right! This body should have an infinite energy supply so how is it possible?' Was there something wrong with his infinite energy core? Did it get damaged during their fight?

Lazuli flew forward and she palm struck his face sending him crashing through a building.

'Piccolo' got up and held his hands up, yellow energy formed in his hands. He thrust them forward firing a Masenko.

Lazuli couldn't sense that energy but could tell there was something off about it. Rather than avoid it she kicked the attack upwards sending it into space.

"What?!" 'Piccolo' yelled. "I put so much into that, how is that possible!? What's going on?"

Lazuli didn't have an answer, is the clone toying with her again? Is this some sort of trap that Baby put up?

"So you're feeling tired?"

Both fighters turned to see Zangya sitting on a ruined building holding the body of 'Chiatzu' by the head, she fired energy into him destroying his body with a smirk on her face.

Lazuli looked at her with disgust, she knew it was a clone but she didn't need to see him die again.

'Piccolo' glared at her. "You! Did you have something to do with this?"

"Ah, so it did work." She giggled. "Just to make sure, did you notice feeling anything strange during your battle?"

'Piccolo' glared at her but thought back during their fight, there was a slight needle pain on his back during the fight. But it did nothing fatal to him so he thought it was harmless. "W-what did you do to me!?"

Zangya giggled and looked at Lazuli. "It won't last forever, his energy is now finite, finish him now." She then jumped as 'Yamcha' and 'Tien' tried to punch her on opposite sides, she looked back at Lazuli. "Blondie you think you got him?" She then swayed her head as a Destructo Disc barely misses, if the baldy had landed that he would be slowly killed.

Lazuli glared up at the Hera, she noticed a bit of her power was used up and will need help. "I'll join you in a bit."

'Piccolo' stretched his arm for the girl, the little nuisance won't get away.

Lazuli came and kicked at his arm breaking it causing the fake Namekien to scream.

Lazuli stood over the Tuffle Namekien with her arms crossed.

'Piccolo' looked up at the woman with a chuckle. "History repeats itself, doesn't it Android?"

The woman didn't say anything for a few moments and just aimed her hand down at her opponent. "You're done with your acting." Though it made her think of the last time she did this. She squeezed her fists in frustration.

"What are you doing? Finish him off!" Zangya yelled.

'Piccolo' had a toothy grin. "Tell me, when you killed me did you know you were sealing your victim's fate by destroying the dragon balls?"

Lazuli's eyes widened she remembered vividly what happened. Her regret wouldn't let her forget. She remembered swiftly moving around the area as the real Piccolo tried to land a hit on her. She quickly appeared in front of him and kneed him in the get then blasted his head off to ensure he wouldn't regenerate.

She looked at where her hand was, aimed at his head. It was logical, Piccolo can only regenerate as long as his head was intact so of course, it was the only way to end it.

'Piccolo' can see that this tactic was working just like with 17. "Remember, the day you killed me was the day you damned this world, so many lives lost and most cannot be revived due to my death." He sees her struggling to fire her blast. "Now, I forgot care to show me how you killed me again?"

Lazuli glared and was about to, but thinking about how her programming made her slaughter so many innocents... and destroy the only things that can revive them... and in doing so ruined the life of the man she grew to love.

'Piccolo' seized the opportunity and swept kick the Android and stood up. He may be getting ragged but he was the one that was going to end this fight. He flew straight ahead and kicked up her chin to send her upward then he disappeared appeared upward and slammed his hands on her head. "This time it will be the other way around."

The woman sees him about to fire, she couldn't focus she was still thinking of what she'd done to this planet, to Trunks. She knows it's a clone but she can't bring herself to kill the Namekien a second time.

"Hey! Dolly!"

Lazuli heard that ridiculous nickname from the voice she hated the most. She turned to look at Zangya who was struggling to fight off both 'Yamcha' and 'Tien'. Far more trouble than she should.

"Stop acting like a little bitch and" She was punched across the face by 'Yamcha' and then kicked downward by 'Krillin', she slowly stood back up panting. " finish him!" She then swiftly avoided a Dodon Ray.

The cyborg woman growled. "Shut up! Your the last person to tell me what-"

'Piccolo' punched her in the get making her crash into a building. He then aimed his hand forward holding it with the other one, he was going to fire his Explosive Demon Wave.

Zangya growled as she kept evading the three remaining humans 'Z-fighters'. She looked over at Lapis' fight with the Super Saiyan. She was kicked in the back by 'Tien' and skidded across the ground. Fighting the remaining three was a pain, she could kill them but she needed to conserve energy if she wanted to help Lapis, she can repeat her technique only a couple more times, and she'll need it even if he and possibly her sister fight against the Saiyan. She needed Lazuli to end the fight with the Namekien and help her, she knew one way to motivate her. "Dolly! If you don't show some bite, your brother will die! Your man will have to fight his fake father! Is that what you want?!"

Lazuli heard that her brother will die. Trunks will have to fight his father's clone in a death match. No, she won't allow these things to happen.

'Piccolo' fired his Explosive Demon Wave, a large yellow Ki blast that destroyed half of the empty city. The fake Namekien looked up to see the android floating over the blast! His eyes widened as his blast subsided. He wasted energy, he thought he had her!

Lazuli began a merciless assault on 'Piccolo', she kicked across his face which made him stumble, she landed on the ground and swept kicked him which caused the green man to fall forward. She immediately got up and threw an elbow across his chin, then she spin-kicked his face, threw two punches in his chest, and flipped kick up his chin to send him flying.

She landed on the ground and sees that the Tuffle Namekien was still flying. She focused her efforts on finishing the job, she had to remind herself that this was not the same. She has to kill this fake, she has to destroy the fake Vegeta before Trunks sees it!

Lazuli raised her hands forming her Power Blitz. Though to make sure the Android clone is destroyed for good, she will use her technique's next step. During her training with Trunks, she created a new level of Power Blitz, one that deserved a new name. The beach ball size technique grew six pink electric-like rings around the ball, she aimed it towards the fake Namekien. She closed her eyes for a second but she reminded herself this was a fake and she needed to save her brother and husband. With a yell, she fired her new technique. "Blitz Stream!"

A giant wave of pink and energy fired from her hands.

'Piccolo' managed to catch himself just in time to see the pink energy wave coming. The Tuffle Namekien caught it with his hands, he tried with all his might to deflect it, but he was running low on energy. That damn green girl's attack managed to do something to his infinite energy core!

The pink wave began to swallow him. 'F-forgive me, Lord Baby.' He couldn't believe the shame, dying a 'second' time by the same Android. His body was destroyed as the large blast left earth.

Lazuli looked up at the sky, she couldn't sense him so it was hard to tell. But given that time was wasting she decided to get to work and check later. She shook her head, he only said that to get to her and it worked to some degree. But the clone was just a danger to her family and she did what had to be done.

She glared over to the 'human' Z-fighters.

"D-damn!" 'Krillin' yelled knowing the situation. He rose his hands. "Solar F-!"

Zangya elbowed his gut before he could use the move. She frowned. 'Hm, too bad, up close he's kinda cute, second to Lapis but still.' She then kicked across his face sending him against the wall. She then rose a hand and prepared a red ball of energy. "Beauty Trigger!" She fired.

The red energy ball consumed 'Krillin' and he was disintegrated.

'Yamcha' yelled seeing his friend annihilated. "K-Krillin!"

"Get a hold of yourself!" 'Tien' scolded though still looking at where Krillin once lied. "Solar Flare!" He yelled.

The blinding light appeared forcing Zangya and Lazuli to close their eyes.

When they opened as expected they were gone.

Lazuli felt a slight feeling of relief, at least she wouldn't have to repeat a couple of deaths. Even if their clones.

"Too bad, only got the cute midget and the clown," Zangya said playing with her hair.

The Cyborg glared at Zangya, hearing her insult them didn't sit well.

Zangya ignored it and moved. "Come on, Lapis is struggling right now."

"That technique what was it?"

The Hera turned to her and smiled proudly. "A new technique I created, it's kinda like a poison that disrupts Ki, I'll explain more once we're done, that ok?"

Lazuli was not amused, she didn't like the idea of this woman having a technique that seemed to turn an android's infinite energy finite. But she was right, they needed to get to Lapis, now.

'Vegeta' chuckled as Lapis was on his hands and knees on the ground. "Thought you could hide from me for long?"

Lapis only yelled as he got up and threw a punch to the imposter's face.

'Vegeta' caught it and threw his own punch into his gut. He then let go of his fist to let him keel over.

Lapis looked up at his opponent only to see the hand in his face.

'Vegeta' smiled seeing the look on the android's face. "Well, it's been fun hasn't it?" He focused Ki into his hand. "Big Ban-"

Before he could fire he glowed purple, he felt two pricks this time at his back. He turned over to see the green-skinned witch with her hands aimed at him.

The prince had completely forgotten about her, he thought the humans would hold her off long enough to enjoy this. "Oh? So your still alive, never send an earthling to do a Saiyan's j-"

Lazuli took this opportunity and slammed an elbow at his abdomen sending the fake prince across the city.

Zangya chuckled and fell to her knees. Her body turned back to teal and her hair back to orange. That was it, the last of her energy.

Lapis looked at her and back to Zangya. "You guys finished your you know-"

"I did, the witch only got half, the others," Lazuli said critically.

Lapis looked at her and sees it's bothering her. He focused ahead knowing they had bigger fish to fry, golden light shined from the ruined building that Lazuli punched him too.

"Hey witch, get over here!" Lazuli yelled over to Zangya, she was going to pull her weight.

"I'm done, I spent all my Ki in my last attack," Zangya explained. "His energy should be finite now, so now do your part."

"Great" Lazuli groaned, she supposed it made sense for a technique like this to have a drawback.

"Zangya, hide somewhere and suppress whatever energy you have left!" Lapis yelled.

Zangya said nothing and got into hiding.

'Vegeta' landed in front of the two Androids. He had his signature cocky smirk.

"Well well, looks like I get to send both of you to the scrap yard."

Lazuli ignored him and pushed away any similarities in the man's face compared to her husband's to the back of her mind. She glanced over to her brother. "Lapis, Trunks would be better off if we destroy this thing, agreed?"

Lapis looked at her not expecting that response but thought of what she said. If they don't kill him or he kills them, then Trunks would have to fight him... and Trunks would have to kill his own father, or rather a clone. Still no way, his life had already been ruined. He nodded and took a stance along with her.

'Vegeta' chuckled. "Well then, tell me do Androids such as yourselves experience fear?"

I kinda made Vegeta a hypocrite with that last line. But, I decided it's a line in the dub that is memorable and so I will keep it here.

Off-topic wanted to know anyone else has seen 'Invincible' on Amazon? If not u should watch it, it's really good. I know I'm late to the party I just kept forgetting to recommend it for a couple of chapters.

Ok, so I think I should explain Zangya's new technique for those who might've misread, cause I did write a lot.

So Zangya's technique is the result of her Psycho Threads, that power her race has that drains a person's energy and keeps them from moving condensed into a small dot, kinda like a poison needle for Ki or artificial Ki. Once it hits a target it gets absorbed into him/her doing no damage on the outside. Once it's absorbed, it drains the target's energy for a certain amount of time, and also anyone can sense Zangya's energy in the target as this technique drains the target's energy.

If this technique were to hit a normal organism that's equal in her strength she would have a huge advantage as the technique would drain her opponent's power over time whether they fight or not, especially if they were to fight.

Now if it hits an Android with an infinite Energy core, the attack would only make it so their energy/stamina becomes finite. If the Android was stationary and did nothing they would have suffered no effects. But in a fight where they are constantly moving and attacking all they have, they would start to actually lose energy and so in time become weaker and for cyborgs feel fatigued. Also, any fighter that can sense Ki can feel Zagnya's energy from these androids making them easier to find and avoid if desired.

Zangya created this technique in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber out of fear for when Lazuli ever came for her. She believed she was looking for a chance to kill her and so she wanted to be prepared if that ever happened. Of course, she's wrong Lazuli wouldn't do it but she saw no reason to trust her. She also already told 16 about it and Lapis about it in earlier chapters so she wasn't planning to assassinate the cyborgs, she just wanted a move for self-defense.

Now for its drawbacks.

1. It takes time to make it effective.

2. It requires a good portion of her energy, she can only do four at a time.

3. For opponents that are much stronger than her like Cyborg Vegeta here it takes three to be effective, so it'd be useless against someone much much stronger than her.

4. Finally there's a time limit, sooner or later the 'Ki poison' will wear off and if it's an Android, they will have all their power right away.

Ok so with that explanation we should name this attack. I'm thinking Physco Bullet or Null Bullet. Any ideas?

As for Lazuli's Blitz Stream, it doesn't need as much explaining. It's just a powered-up version of her Power Blitz with a cool design.

Lapis's Electric Strike is Super Electric Strike from Xenoverse 2.

Ok, so I hope my explanation made sense and everyone loved the chapter. So quick update on the power scale, I'm going to have to update it cause some of it doesn't make sense regarding Lazuli and Lapis's power, I'll try to have it ready next chapter.

Ok now Review Responses.

AxDevilman: Thx, yeah we had someone look at them should be fine now. And we'll make sure it never happens again.

I hear ya, I do try my best to keep errors at a minimum I even have Grammarly installed, but I'll try to give the chapter a more thorough reading good before publishing. I hope there aren't any errors here! Don't be afraid to keep calling me out I'm sure I'll get the hand of it. And I appreciate u being patient with me to improve.

Yup, well it's one Clone Android down though 'Vegeta' will not go down as easily hopefully Zangya's technique can help.

Ya Iolite had quite the depressing first transformation. As u can see here there making progress, she'll need time but she will understand why her parents did what they did. And hell ya he is.

Ok great, glad I nailed Baby down so far. No problem man, thx for giving me an estimate, saves me some time to plan out the future of the Baby Saga.

I-Love-Trunks1: There taking steps it's still a long way but there making progress. Remember Trunks needed quite a bit of time before he even called Lapis and Lazuli friends. Thank u hope u can keep enjoying it.

The Rocha: Wow, well good glad we all made it.

Anyway ya that was hard for me to write, the poor kid. Your thing on conspiracy is 100% accurate. Kinda scary.

Yeah but she's listening now so long as Trunks doesn't lie or get caught in a lie they'll move forward. Ya, cause she doesn't what else they lied to her about but now that she's learned about Vegeta when she asked she can open up a bit. Though it might make things with Bulma complicated to now.

Yes she will, even when she's older she'll have trouble trusting people but again at least she's listening to her father like she said she would. If Trunks can pull this off Iolite can heal and trust her parents. And hey it could've been worse, take a look at Invincible when Mark found out the truth.

Your whacky idea isn't just whacky. It's dragon ball lol. Ok, I'll keep that in mind and give u credit if I use it thanks!

Hell ya, Zangya's thirsty, and patient, she's been doing this for 6 years now and won't stop. Lol. Glad I made Zangya fun to read I was worried about her.

Regarding Bojack, I have thought about it, but after the Meta 13 incident, I'm not sure about returning characters so soon after they were dealt with u know? But maybe I will who knows, the saga is far from over and it would be cool to give Zangya a major kill.

That is true Buu did show up. Maybe 21 can show up. We'll see.

Baby is quite the trickster. Well, this chapter answered your question. The Spirit Bomb, and passing the energy onto his clones only his uses a pure evil heart, it's how I would think Cell can use the Spirit Bomb in dbz games.

'Vegeta' vs Trunks, well Lazuli wants to prevent that from happening for good reasons. If she doesn't suceed Trunks is going to go through hell. But at least it would be a dope fight. Either way I will not say outright, spoilers and all that you will see in time.

Btw, I really love your long reviews. I hope my story stays good enough for u to that cause I love reading these. Hope to see u again soon!

Shadowwriter01: Ya, were making sure that doesn't happen again. Thx.

Yeah, she is really young but at least they made some progress here. Luckily the time chamber can be used for that of course even after that she'll need time.

Alright everybody guess that's it, hope everyone enjoyed as usual and I hope to see u guys in the next chapter!

Now if u don't mind I gotta add to One's Own Path before the day is over! Laters!

Have an awesome day! :)
